    Chapter 1: Can This Thing Even Be Eaten?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Cough! Cough! Cough!


    On top of a sandalwood bed with an antique style, laid a sickly youth who abruptly started coughing violently.


    It looked as if he would not stop unless he coughs up his lungs out.


    The youth''s lips were purplish, and his face was pale. It was a clear sign that he was not long for this world. However, his violent cough made the young madam beside him frantic.


    The young madam looked around 30 years old, and even though she was not in her prime, she still retained her graceful charm. At this moment, her tightly locked brows finally eased up slowly, and she quickly grabbed hold of that sickly youth''s hand.


    "Yuan-er! You finally woke up! You scared Mother to death! Ah ! Quickly call the family head back. Yuan-er already woke up, so the matter at hand is to treat Yuan-er first. We will settle this debt with the Wan Family in the future!"


    The servant quickly left upon hearing the young madam''s orders.


    Yet at this moment, the youth paid no heed to all these and only focused on coughing.


    Suddenly, puhwark! A mouthful of black blood was spat out! The black blood quickly corroded a large hole in the bedding. Clearly, it was highly toxic.


    After spitting out that mouthful of blood, the youth seemed to completely relax.


    He looked at the anxious young madam, and a strange yet familiar feeling welled up inside his heart.


    He attempted to recall who this woman was, only to feel a splitting headache.


    "Yuan-er, what''s wrong? Is the Intestine Rupturing Grass Poison triggering again? Quick! Bring a high-grade Detoxification Pill for Young Master to eat!" the young madam said with a face full of concern.


    Another servant left to follow the order.


    The youth used this chance to rearrange the multitude of memories in his brain, and then he finally remembered who the woman in front of his eyes was.


    This woman was none other than his biological mother, Ren Hongling. And he himself or more accurately the original owner of this body was called Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was born in one of the top Alchemy families within the State of Qin. The family head was Ye Hang, who was also Ye Yuan''s father, a low-grade Alchemy Grandmaster; an existence who held a prominent position within the State of Qin.


    But sadly, Ye Hang was a tiger father who begot a dog for a son, having a useless silkpants, Ye Yuan, for a son. He only knew how to cause trouble every day and harmed good women. He did not even manage to become an Alchemy Apprentice after so long. It was such a disgrace that his face was thrown all the way back to his grandma''s place.


    However, Ye Hang did not mind all these. He never had any expectations for his son and had let Ye Yuan do whatever he wanted. He was even overprotective of him to the extreme. Every time Ye Yuan caused trouble outside, Ye Hang would end up wiping his *ss.


    But as a father, he always hoped for his son to be promising. In the end, Ye Hang paid a huge price to admit Ye Yuan into the Dan Wu Academy, all just for the off chance that he would learn something. Who would have thought that this punk Ye Yuan, would get jealous over a woman and confidently challenged someone to a detoxification competition? The end result was that he poisoned himself to death!


    After recalling his predecessor''s memory, Ye Yuan sighed lightly. The original owner of this body could be considered one of a kind. To have actually killed himself in such manner, what sort of great courage and intellect were needed to do this!


    Forget it. To think that I, Qingyun Zi, a dignified Alchemy Emperor successor, would one day end up transmigrated into the body of a silkpants. But since the Heavens blessed me, Qingyun Zi, to rebirth once more, I will take revenge for Father, for myself, and kill that wildly ambitious traitor with my own hands!


    Thinking up to this point, Ye Yuan''s expression became fierce, and his eyes filled with killing intent.


    Ren Hongling obviously noticed Ye Yuan''s expression, and he thought that Ye Yuan bored a grudge towards that punk from the Wan Family for harming him. She quickly tried to console him and said, "Son, one should abide one''s time and wait for the right opportunity to seek vengeance. Our Ye Family will definitely settle this debt, but right now, the most important thing for you is to recuperate. We can discuss other matters in the future."


    Feeling Ren Hongling''s motherly love, Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart.


    He inherited this body, so he naturally also inherited this body''s feelings. No matter how much of a b*stard Ye Yuan was outside, he cared deeply for his parents who loved him very much.


    "Mother, I''m sorry to have worried you."


    Ren Hongling was stunned by her son''s words. This punk caused trouble all the time outside that her heart was almost crushed, and yet she had never heard this punk say any heartfelt words. What''s wrong with him today?


    Could it be that after this incident, he suddenly woke up to reality?


    After being stunned for a while, Ren Hongling immediately became overjoyed. With tears in her eyes, she said, "As long as you are alright."


    At this moment, bam! The door to the room was kicked open.


    "You aren''t dead yet, you punk? You really scared your father!"


    A thunderous voice shouted, making Ye Yuan''s eardrums hurt. Even though the words were not very pleasant, anyone could hear the joy and concern within those words. Needless to say, the family head, Ye Hang, has arrived.


    Ye Hang was born a little boorish. Nobody would connect him with his noble status as an Alchemy Grandmaster. In fact, he looked more like a rugged man from the mountains.


    Hearing her husband''s words, Ren Hongling turned over and glared at him. "Yuan-er just escaped death. Can''t you say something nicer?"


    Ye Hang did not mind her words and took a glance at the black blood before calming down. He laughed and said, "Looks like my, Ye Hang''s son, has a blessed life. To even survived this, hahaha! Come, quickly swallow this Detoxification Pill, and purge the residual toxins from your body. You should be fine afterward."


    Ye Hang casually took out a medicinal pill and was just about to stuff it into Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Seeing this, Ye Yuan immediately jumped in fright and quickly shrunk back into his bed.


    "Can this thing even be eaten?!" Ye Yuan cried out in shock.


    Glaring with anger in his eyes, Ye Hang snarled, "You little punk, did the poison screw your brain up? Did you forget what status your father has?"


    Ren Hongling also thought that Ye Yuan had some misgiving about the pill and quickly said, "Yuan-er, your father is an Alchemy Grandmaster. Even if His Majesty meets him, he will show some respect. Furthermore, this is your father. Would he possibly harm you?"


    Ye Yuan''s mouth twitched, and he declined to comment.


    He obviously knew that this medicinal pill was a Detoxification Pill. Only that its quality was a little too weak. In his past life, Qingyun Zi''s father was an Alchemy Emperor. He grew up eating medicinal pills as if he was eating jelly beans. How could he not even recognize something ordinary like the Detoxification Pill?


    Although eating this pill would help to restrain the toxins in his body, its effects were too weak and would not be able to thoroughly eliminate all the residual toxins within his body.


    The average alchemists were unable to detect these toxins, and it would not have too great of an effect on Ye Yuan''s health in the future. But these toxins would lay hidden inside his body and would continuously become the body''s burden. It would even affect his future advancements in the Martial Path.


    The Intestine Rupturing Grass naturally was not worth mentioning in Ye Yuan''s eyes. It was not even worth much in Ye Hang''s eyes. It was just that when Ye Yuan was sent back home, the poison already spread thoroughly. He was only breathing in and not out, unable to even eat the Detoxification Pill. That''s why Ye Hang was utterly helpless and was preparing to bring people to go fight it out with the Wan Family.


    Before dying, Qingyun Zi was already at the Alchemy Emperor standard, so he could not be any more clear about these medicinal theories. His worldview and horizon obviously could not be compared with an Alchemy Grandmaster like Ye Hang.


    Looking at his son''s expression, Ye Hang felt severely provoked.


    "You little punk! To actually dare questioned your father''s pill refinement standards!"


    Ye Yuan stared helplessly at the dull-looking black pill in his father''s hand. Looking once again at the rage in his father''s eyes, he opened his mouth and said, "Red Abalone Grass was more by two parts, and Green Snake Gall lacked by one part. It should have been a result of inadequate control when refining the pill. The biggest mistake was adding iron sulfate into the Detoxification Pill. Not only did it not improve the medicinal effects, it even messed up the composition of this Detoxification Pill. Father, since you have difficulty refining Tier 3 medicinal pill, you should just lower your standards."


    Ye Hang''s facial expression was fascinating right now. He was at first angry, followed by astonishment, and finally, he was left dumbfounded.


    He was the one who refined this pill, so he was naturally aware of its properties. Ye Yuan''s analysis was as if he saw it with his own eyes, and even if he saw it personally, he should not be able to analyze it this accurately.


    Is this punk really his son?


    Ye Hang could not help but become suspicious. Only after sizing him up did he confirm that this was indeed his son.


    "Stop staring. I''m your son, really." Seeing Ye Hang''s expression, Ye Yuan could not help but feel a little guilty, so he quickly defended himself.


    "Hey brat, you couldn''t possibly have pretended to be a pig in order to eat a tiger in the past, right? That''s not right, because if you were really playing a sucker to catch a sucker, then why is it that you can''t even resolve the poison from the Intestine Rupturing Grass?" Ye Hang felt that things did not quite add up.


    Rolling his eyes, Ye Yuan quickly snatched the Detoxification Pill in Ye Hang''s hands and swallowed it.

    Chapter 2: Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    It was not that Ye Hang''s medicine was ineffective, but instead, Ye Yuan''s current condition was extremely abysmal.


    Although Ye Hang''s medicine would have some side effects, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care much. At the moment, it was more important to alleviate the symptoms on this wretched body.


    As for the hidden dangers left behind by this Detoxification Pill, Ye Yuan naturally has means to eliminate it.


    Ever since obtaining this body, the great Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi could not bear to look at his own physique. He seriously did not understand how his predecessor survived for the past ten years or so.


    Born in a prestigious Alchemy family, yet this punk did not even manage to reach the Second Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Even if it was in a mortal country, being born in such a family and eating the most ordinary Essence Qi Pills like sweets, one should be at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm and above, right?


    Wanting to cry but no tears flowed . . . This Alchemy Emperor could only use such phrase to describe his current emotion.


    Using this dreadful body to withstand such a violent poison, no wonder Ye Yuan died. Although Qingyun Zi was now in possession of this body, there really was not much he could do with it at the moment. He could only do things one step at a time.


    In the eyes of others, Ye Yuan''s act of snatching the pill was revealing his true colors.


    However, Ye Hang smirked. "Ha! I knew you were bluffing. You actually scared me for a moment."


    Just now, Ye Hang realized something was amiss. This punk definitely snuck a look at the pill formula or overheard the family''s retainers talked about him refining this Detoxification Pill. That was how he managed to know all the details about the pill. Since this punk was already cracking jokes, there should not be any major issues with his condition.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan definitely would not explain anything. Being ignorant and faking incompetence suited this body more. It would be better if he maintained a low profile.


    "Father, Mother, I''m a little tired and want to rest for now." Ye Yuan wanting to recuperate requested them to leave.


    "Yuan-er, you just recovered from a major illness. You should indeed rest more. If there is anything, let Lu-er inform us." His parents then brought everyone out of the room.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan started to meditate. He circulated essence energy within his body to absorb the medicinal effect of the Detoxification Pill and purge the poison in his body.


    However, the essence energy in his body was pitifully little, that he could only imagine its weak efficacy. An Alchemy Emperor of his generation just got another chance in life and then survived after being poisoned, but now nearly died from exasperation.


    By the time all the medicinal effects from the pill in Ye Yuan''s body were fully absorbed, it was almost dawn. This round of meditation actually took 12 hours. What a piece of work.


    But this bout of hard work finally showed some results. Ye Yuan''s current complexion was apparently much more radiant and rosier in color. The toxins in his body were already pretty much neutralized.


    This naturally was not anything remarkable to the current Ye Yuan. With Qingyun Zi''s attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, to thoroughly dig out all the efficacy of this tiny Detoxification Pill naturally was not difficult at all.


    Thinking about it now, even though his predecessor was not serious about training, it was actually a blessing.


    Currently, this body was akin to a blank piece of paper. Qingyun Zi could fiddle with it freely and not worry about wrecking this body. If his predecessor practiced martial arts haphazardly, Qingyun Zi would instead need to pay a hefty price to rebuild his foundation. This actually saved him some trouble.


    It was just that although Intestine Rupturing Grass Poison was nothing serious, the efficacy of Ye Hang''s Detoxification Pill was severely limited. Tiny amounts of residual toxins were still present in the body. Moreover, this Detoxification Pill had its own flaws, which also further left some medicinal toxins within Ye Yuan''s body. After dawn breaks, he would need to find some medicinal herbs to completely eradicate the hidden dangers which could manifest in the future.


    Luckily, the Ye Family is one of the prestigious Alchemy families in the State of Qin. Getting some medicinal herbs would not be an issue.


    There was still some time left before dawn. Ye Yuan decided to properly strategize the path to take after his rebirth.


    In the previous life, Qingyun Zi was obsessed with the Dao of Alchemy and somewhat neglected the Martial Dao. Otherwise, he would not be completely helpless in front of that traitor.


    Qingyun Zi cultivated martial arts in order to refine better pills; as long as it was enough to use, it was all good. Because of this, he became the youngest Alchemy Emperor in the Divine Realm.


    That year when he became an Alchemy Emperor, he was hailed by all major Holy Lands as the genius who was most likely to become an Alchemy God in these tens of thousands of years. One had to know, no one had managed to reach the level of an Alchemy God for several millennia.


    However, all that glory had become history. Today, there was no longer the Divine Realm''s genius Qingyun Zi, but only the Lower Realm''s youth Ye Yuan who now stepped onto the path of revenge.


    Since he had to take revenge against that traitor, Qingyun Zi would have to be diligent in the martial path in this life. Although that traitor''s talent in the Dao of Alchemy was only slightly worse than Qingyun Zi, he was nonetheless undoubtedly a genius of the Martial Dao. To surpass him, the current Ye Yuan would have to put a lot of effort.


    Initially, for a Lower Realm''s youth in a mortal country, the most lacking aspect was definitely resources and techniques. Resources to the current Ye Yuan were indeed a luxury, but what he lacked the least was techniques.


    Regardless whether in the Lower Realm or in the Divine realm, an alchemist was always treated with exceptional respect. Furthermore, Qingyun Zi''s father, Zhengyang Zi was the number one Alchemy Emperor in the Divine Realm. The numbers of techniques accumulated over the years were countless.


    Even though Qingyun Zi was not very receptive to the Martial Dao, but in order to assist in Alchemic procedures, he extensively studied many martial art manuals to improve his cultivation. To find a few techniques suitable for him was naturally nothing difficult.


    Sorting out the memories of his previous life, Ye Yuan finally decided on a martial art called the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art as his core cultivation technique.


    This martial art was the core cultivation technique of the Divine Realm''s renowned Spirit Bristle Divine King. That year, to refine a Ninth Rank Medicinal Pill, he came to beg Zhengyang Zi. However, failing to amass sufficient remuneration, instead, he left his primary cultivation technique behind.


    This technique was abnormally tyrannical. Spirit Bristle Divine King relied on this technique to become undefeated in the Divine Realm, becoming one of the top ten most mysterious existence.


    In the Divine Realm, anything with the word ''Divine'' attached to it was incomparably precious. Such item would cause an absolute blood fest.


    That year when the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was revealed, the entire Divine Realm was shaken. In order to snatch this technique, it was said over 10 Divine Kings fell. In the end, it ended up in the hands of the then little-known figure, the Spirit Bristle Divine King.


    He laid low for over a decade before bursting forth, becoming the Divine Realm''s top Divine King in a single stroke. Were it not for how extraordinarily precious and vital the Ninth Rank Medicinal Pill was to the Spirit Bristle Divine King, there was no way he would have used this technique to exchange for it.


    Of course, he was at ease with passing this technique over to Zhengyang Zi because Zhengyang Zi and his son were obsessed with the Dao of Alchemy and had neither ulterior motive nor any intention to contend in this world.


    Ye Yuan studied the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art before cultivating according to the manual. Traces of essence energy seeped through the body and started giving off a faint yellow glow.


    At the Essence Qi Realm, a cultivator would direct essence energy from the heaven and earth into the body. This was the foundation realm in cultivation.


    Essence Qi Realm might appear seemingly unimportant. However, it was a vital realm when cultivating martial arts. A towering skyscraper built on flat ground would require a solid foundation. Without a proper foundation, it would be like a rootless plant which would one day fail to support its growth. It was common knowledge among cultivators. But when cultivating martial arts, only a few actually applied this. Many cultivators would blindly pursue cultivation speed and unknowingly cut-off their own future.


    "Huuuu . . ."


    Four hours later, Ye Yuan awakened from his meditation and exhaled a long breath.


    "This Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art is indeed powerful. Although these four hours of cultivation didn''t increase much essence in my body, the quality is extremely pure. If I carry on cultivating like this, wouldn''t I be invincible within the same realm?"


    Ye Yuan who used to be an Alchemy Emperor naturally had broad horizons. For him to give such an appraisal to this technique showed how extraordinary it was.


    During the past four hours, Ye Yuan had used the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to temper what little essence energy his predecessor had. This process refined the essence energy in his dantian which led to it becoming much more pure in terms of quality.


    But by doing so, his realm did not advance. Instead, it deteriorated all the way down to the First Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Fortunately, his predecessor neglected his cultivation during the past years. Otherwise, Ye Yuan would have to expend much effort to refine his body''s essence energy. This could be considered profiting from a disaster.


    Now that the sky was already bright, Ye Yuan got up and left the room to grab some medicines for his body from the Ye Family''s medicine warehouse. Right after stepping out of the room, a green figure collided with him.

 Chapter 3: Grabbing Medicine

    Chapter 3: Grabbing Medicine


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The green figure was naturally Lu-er, who was also Ye Yuan''s maidservant responsible for his daily life.


    Lu-er was lovely and cute, especially with a pair of bright eyes which aroused the affection of others. Coupled with a long green dress, she looked like a little green pixie.


    With regards to Lu-er, Ye Yuan obviously knew her well. She was his playmate since young and also the person closest to Ye Yuan apart from his parents.


    Within the household as well as outside of it, nobody thought highly of Ye Yuan, with Lu-er as the sole exception. No matter how much of a scoundrel Ye Yuan was outside, Lu-er took care of Ye Yuan with all her heart.


    Therefore, the current Ye Yuan instinctively felt close to Lu-er, as if she was his little sister; even though his predecessor also enjoyed teasing Lu-er.


    In reality, even though Ye Yuan was atrocious, he actually would not force himself onto women. He only enjoyed causing some mischief. It was just that sometimes, his pranks were a little over the top.


    Having inherited his predecessor''s memories, Ye Yuan discovered that his predecessor''s talent was not considered bad. It was just all these bad habits were the outcome of being spoiled. In this aspect, his father, Ye Hang, had to bear substantial responsibility for it.


    Except, a father''s love was akin to a mountain. Ye Yuan obviously could not blame all these on Ye Hang. Instead, he felt very touched, as Ye Hang was just like his past life''s father.


    "Y-young Master . . . Yii? Y-you are alright?"


    Lu-er bumped into Ye Yuan and was initially perturbed by it. Raising her head, she saw that Ye Yuan was full of spirit and vigor, and she immediately became overjoyed.


    Sensing Lu-er''s concern which came from her heart, Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I''m fine, your young master is a lucky man! After not dying due to this crisis, my future fortunes will be limitless!"


    "Teehee. Young Master, you are so humorous. But Lu-er also feels that since you didn''t die in this disaster, in the future, you might really be different!"


    A casual remark sounded significant to an attentive listener.


    Unsure of where Lu-er''s confidence came from, Ye Yuan''s heart skipped a beat. Thinking to himself, this girl''s thought process was really too keen.


    Ye Yuan instantly laughed and said, "Alright, accompany Young Master to bring some medicinal herbs back from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion."


    Lu-er did not speak, and just lowered her head and followed Ye Yuan.


    . . . . . .


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was the medicinal shop which the Ye Family established. It was one of the great powers in the State of Qin. Naturally, it was thanks to Ye Hang''s identity as an Alchemy Grandmaster.


    In the tiny State of Qin, the status of an Alchemy Master was already incomparably honorable, let alone an Alchemy Grandmaster. Because of Ye Hang''s status, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion possessed an extraordinary position.


    In the State of Qin, the identity of an Alchemy Grandmaster itself was a golden signboard. Hence, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion had always been a household name. Ye Hang obviously would not personally be out there to diagnose people, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s power was not to be underestimated. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s main branch which was situated at the capital had an Alchemy Master stationed to diagnose people daily. This was not something that a small power could accomplish.


    Ye Yuan brought Lu-er inside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and immediately attracted a few side-glances.


    From the employees'' eyes, Ye Yuan saw fear, scorn, as well as disdain. This made Ye Yuan shook his head silently, thinking to himself that his predecessor''s reputation was really too terrible, even causing innocent bystanders to get into trouble!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not bother with these servants. He walked straight up to the counter and said to an Alchemy Apprentice, "Paper and brush."


    This Alchemy Apprentice knew Ye Yuan''s status and did not dare to delay. He pulled out a paper and a brush and placed it respectfully in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan took them, and it did not take much time for him to write down a list of medicinal herbs before giving it back to the Alchemy Apprentice.


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded and directly ordered, "Get these medicinal herbs for me. If there''s any problem, look for my father."


    The Alchemy Apprentice swept a look through the list of herbs and only relaxed after not seeing anything overly precious. Turning around, he left to get the medicinal herbs.


    These herbs were very ordinary, but the prescription was not.


    In his past life, Ye Yuan was an Alchemy Emperor of his generation. Since young, he studied and memorized all sorts of pill formulas. His understanding of medicinal herbs and medicinal effects had already reached an unfathomable level. Were it not the case, he would not have been hailed as the genius most likely to reach the Alchemy God Realm.


    The Alchemy Apprentice clearly did not understand Ye Yuan''s intention. He thought that this silkpants had a change of nature and started to play with medicinal herbs.


    While the Alchemy Apprentice was getting the medicinal herbs, Ye Yuan brought Lu-er to wait in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s consultation room. The master on duty lightly glanced at Ye Yuan and continued treating patients after expressing his contempt.


    The masters stationed here were at the Alchemy Master level, all of whom were retainers invited by Ye Hang. Ignoring the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, even when placed in the entire State of Qin, they were people who had some status.


    Those who came to get treated were all inflicted with unusual illnesses; those that ordinary people could not address. After witnessing a master''s diagnosis, Ye Yuan shook his head silently.


    If Ye Yuan were the one on duty, he would be able to provide several, even dozens, of more superior prescriptions. It was just that something like this would be far too astounding. Either way, that master''s formula would work, so Ye Yuan obviously would not take any unnecessary actions.


    "Next," the attendant beside the master called out lifelessly.


    A brawny-looking man came forward, except his condition did not look too good. His face was purple, and there was death qi around his forehead. Furthermore, he was coughing non-stop. Clearly, it was symptoms of poisoning.


    The master took his pulse and looked at his tongue. Frowning slightly, he said, "You are just a tiny little Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm. To actually recklessly entered the Endless Forest. The deadly poison of the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python isn''t pleasant, right?"


    The brawny man did not become unhappy because of the master''s ridicule. Instead, he revealed a face filled with admiration and gave a bitter smile. "Great master is wise, but I don''t have a choice. My entire family relies on me to survive, so I have no other alternative but to become a demonic beast hunter. In the past, my companions and I only moved around the borders of the Endless Forest. Who would have thought that this time, we would encounter a demonic beast like the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python? It''s also because I was lucky, that I managed to make it back. Both of my companions died at its jaws."


    After explaining, the brawny-looking man became dejected. Clearly, it reminded him of the tragedy.


    The Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python was a Second Rank demonic beast, the equivalent of a human Spirit Condensation Realm. Furthermore, as a demonic beast, its combat power was even higher compared to a human. The brawny-looking man was only at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm, and it was likely that his companions were not much different. So how could they be its match? It was already fortunate for him to escape with his life.


    The master nodded and said, "You were indeed lucky. A Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python is extremely vicious and tough. Being able to escape with your life can already be considered lucky. This poison might pose some trouble at other places, but it isn''t something difficult in my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Except, you have to know that this is a high-grade poison, so the price isn''t low."


    Hearing this, the brawny looking man was ecstatic. He had already been to many medicinal establishments, and all of them were helpless on this matter. Furthermore, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s remuneration tends to be very high. So unless he had no other alternatives, he would absolutely not come here. But he knew that the poison had already spread thoroughly. If he did not get it treated, he probably would not make it past these few days. Therefore, he could only brace himself and enter the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Who would have expected that the master here was indeed amazing and managed to identify the crux of the problem with a single glance?


    "Don''t worry, Master. I managed to save some money over these few years. Initially, I wasn''t willing to take it out to treat the poison. However, my entire family is relying solely on me. If I die, their lives will become much harder. As long as Master can treat this Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison, the treatment fee will be paid in full," the brawny-looking man coughed as he said this.


    Wealth and opportunity came with danger. Demonic beast hunter was an occupation that lived on the edge of danger. This brawny-looking man naturally had some savings.


    As a matter of fact, the effects of the Detoxification Pill which Ye Hang refined were even better. Except, his status was too high, and it was difficult to request to him even for the refinement of one Detoxification Pill. Usually, he only interacted with the State of Qin''s Imperial Family. Furthermore, the fees were atrocious. A medicinal pill of that level was obviously not something that this poor, brawny-looking man could afford.


    Having heard this, the master was not going to be long-winded either. Instructing an attendant, he said, "Green Flow Grass six grams, Vermillion Soul Sand six grams, Ironwind Eagle''s inner core nine grams, and throw in some Daystar to supplement it. After brewing it, let this warrior drink it, and that will do it. Additionally, prepare two more sets of medicine for him to bring back.


    The attendant acknowledged this, took the prescription, and sent it off. Upon returning, he was about to call out ''Next'' when someone gestured for him to stop.

 Chapter 4: Questioning

    Chapter 4: Questioning


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The person signaling the attendant was Ye Yuan who was by the side all along.


    Noticing Ye Yuan had stopped him, the attendant hesitated because Ye Yuan was the young master of this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Coupled with him having a terrible reputation, the attendant naturally did not dare to offend this person.


    "Uncle Qian, that medicine isn''t right. It would kill a person," Ye Yuan went there and whispered.


    Ye Yuan was no longer the useless moron his predecessor was. Seeing as they were in the same boat, Ye Yuan naturally had to maintain the latter''s reputation. So he only whispered in a very low voice.


    This great master was named Qian Miao. Having spent many years in the Ye family as a retainer, he was well-qualified and had a much-respected status. Although his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy cannot be compared to Ye Hang, he was definitely no ordinary man. After listening to a junior''s nonsense, his facial expression changed instantly.


    "Little Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? It''s one thing to run amok every day, but another to wreck the business that your father took great pains to establish. This Old Qian will definitely be the first person to not spare you! You must know that for Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to have its status today was not only because of the family head. We old bones expended a great deal of effort too. Alright, go back. There are still many patients waiting for their treatments."


    Qian Miao clearly held Fragrant Medicine Pavilion dearly and did not have much patience to deal with Ye Yuan. A tiger did not father a dog, but this . . . this was clearly a pup. Many times before this did Qian Miao felt sorry for Ye Hang.


    Today, this punk actually crawled on top of his head to mess around and even warned him that he was harming someone. How could his expression not change? If he did not take into account this punk was Ye Hang''s son, he would have long sent Ye Yuan flying with a slap.


    Ye Yuan already expected Qian Miao''s reaction. After all, his predecessor was indeed a piece of work. Therefore, he did not mind the harsh words.


    Were it not for the fact Qian Miao''s diagnosis would affect the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation, Ye Yuan would not choose to stand out. He had instead continued to maintain his image as a wastrel.


    If Qian Miao continued with this prescription, the brawny man in front of them would not only fail to be saved, it would aggravate the poison even more. This man most likely would not survive the night.


    To the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, as a customer, a demonic beast hunter is a vital source of income. Demonic beast hunters spend each day in danger. There was no need to talk about the bruises and cuts which were daily occurrences. When they entered and exited the Boundless Forest, pills for detoxification and recovery were essential necessities. Therefore these demonic beast hunters were a critical source of revenue for the Ye Family.


    If this brawny man died at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, it would be a tremendous blow to the prestige of the Ye Family among the demonic beast hunters. Some competitors might even take the opportunity to bring down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. The loss would be immeasurable.


    After thinking thoroughly, Ye Yuan had no choice but to stand out and rectify Qian Miao''s misdiagnosis.


    Ye Yuan had yet to say anything, Lu-er who was by his side already could not endure it. She pouted and said to Qian Miao, "Young Master isn''t saying rubbish. He definitely has a reason for it."


    Ye Yuan glanced at Lu-er somewhat surprised, and thought in his heart, this little girl actually trusted him that much?


    His predecessor had his fair share of teasing her in the past and yet even with such moral caliber, Lu-er actually believed him?


    Trust was trust, but Ye Yuan also knew Lu-er''s words just raised the difficulty of things. An expert such as Qian Miao was not to be offended. Not to mention, these two juniors repeatedly questioned his medical skills.


    Indeed, Qian Miao''s expression sunk further. He then said in a low voice, "Little lass who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, why don''t you try to explain how I''m harming people? For a poison from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python, if Ye Hang were here, this would be how he treats it. Just the two of you juniors still wet behind the ears actually dared to question my prescription? If you don''t explain yourselves today, just wait for a beating!"


    Although Qian Miao normally held his nose high up in the air, he actually never used any underhanded means to deal with people. Nobody in the Ye Family dares to offend him either. But today, these two youths caused such a ruckus that he could not take a step back anymore. If he does not demonstrate his prestige and authority, there would be no place left for him in the Ye Family.


    The brawny man never expected such a situation to happen either. He stood there stunned, not knowing what to do. Why did they start to fight among themselves?


    While Qian Miao''s prestige cannot be compared with Ye Hang, it was still well-established. Even within the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, he can be considered as a master. At one side stood a renowned master, while at the other side was a punk who was still wet behind his ears. Even a fool knew who to trust.


    The brawny man initially did not know who this youth was, but after Qian Miao''s fiery remarks, he came to a realization. Was this youth that incompetent son of Master Ye?


    As a demonic beast hunter, he naturally would not be ignorant of events happening in the capital. The fame of this young master was likely even greater than Master Qian.


    A wastrel like him actually dared to question Master Qian''s diagnosis? Could it be that this punk was bored to death and decided to come and harm my life?


    Thinking about this, the brawny man suddenly became furious. He had never messed with anyone and yet was nearly harmed for no reason. This brat had such a wicked heart at a young age!


    "This Brother, Master Qian is currently treating me. Please don''t interfere," the brawny man said in a low voice. Although his words were polite, it was clear the intention was to chase them away.


    If the Ye Family were not a power he did not dare to offend, his words would definitely not be this courteous.


    "Hey, this Warrior, I would have to trouble you to wait a moment. I, Qian Miao, spent my entire life immersed in the Dao of Medicinal Pills. Having treated countless mortals and martial artists, have never been maligned as someone who harms people. Ye Yuan, you have to say today, how am I harming him?!"


    Qian Miao''s stubborn temper flared up. He was bent on teaching Ye Yuan a lesson before dismissing the matter.


    "This . . . Master Qian, the poison in this one''s body would become dangerous if it''s delayed any longer. Master, please don''t be angry and help me purge the poison first. They are merely two ignorant youths casually rambling." The brawny man did not expect Master Qian to take things seriously, so he could only try to persuade the latter.


    However, Qian Miao waved his hands indifferently saying, "Relax, it wouldn''t take much time. This old man has a certain level of confidence in dealing with this poison and wouldn''t let you die. If this matter isn''t clarified today, in the future, how will this old man have the face to sit here and make diagnoses?"


    Having said this, he then turned to Ye Yuan and questioned the young master with a black face, "Why don''t you say it?! If you can''t explain yourself, then don''t accuse me of bullying you with my seniority and complain about it to your father."


    Ye Yuan stood at the side without a word. Only when Qian Miao started questioning that he opened his mouth and replied, "The poison this warrior was inflicted with did not come from the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python."


    "Utter nonsense! My two companions lost their lives at its fangs. I myself nearly couldn''t make it back. Don''t tell me I identified it wrongly? Ignorant brat, I have no grudges with you, but why do you want me dead?" the warrior interjected before Ye Yuan could finish speaking.


    "Hahaha . . ." Qian Miao laughed so hard until tears nearly fell before saying, "Did you hear that? Completely ignorant! Naive brat, get lost quickly! If you continue to cause trouble, I will call for someone to drive you out!"


    Qian Miao was able to identify the poison the warrior was inflicted with at a glance. That by itself was already convincing enough. Furthermore, the warrior escaped from the fangs of the python; how could he have identified the beast wrongly?


    Demonic beast hunters dealt with demonic beasts regularly. One could say that apart from own family, they were most familiar with demonic beasts, which further lowered the likelihood of identifying them wrongly.


    "Get lost quickly! Don''t delay master Qian from diagnosing us!"


    "This mischievous child is actually ruining his father''s business. Truly hopeless!"


    "If I actually gave birth to a son like this, I would have long beaten him into a paste with a stick."


    At this time, those around watching a good show could not keep quiet any longer. Believing this was a farce orchestrated by Ye Yuan, they started chasing him away with words.


    At that moment, Lu-er no longer had the confidence from before; with a timid expression, she pulled the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeve. However, she was not retreating. Instead, she took a step forward, standing right in front of Ye Yuan. She was actually afraid these people would become violent and harmed Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s heart was touched, but he shook his head before replying calmly, "What you saw with your own eyes might not be what you thought it was. The poison this warrior''s inflicted with actually was not from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python, but instead, it was a poison from a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python."

 Chapter 5: Vomiting Blood

    Chapter 5: Vomiting Blood


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "You are clueless about what we are talking about! What Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python? I''ve never even heard of such a thing! Do you think that by fabricating a demonic beast, you can deceive us?"


    Qian Miao was considered an accomplished alchemist in the State of Qin. Thus, he indeed had researched demonic beasts before. As for this Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python, he had never even heard of such a thing!


    If even he had never heard of it before, forget about Ye Yuan, who was an ignorant and incompetent brat.


    "Young Master Ye, you aren''t just insulting Master Qian and me, you are insulting all of us demonic beast hunters! We demonic beast hunters spend all of our time fighting for our livelihood under the demonic claws of those demonic beasts. I''ve been a demonic beast hunter for so many years, yet I''ve never heard of this Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python before."


    At this point, the brawny-looking man felt even more confident that Ye Yuan was causing trouble out of nothing. Ye Yuan was plotting to harm his life. Thus, his words were no longer courteous and instead wanted to expose Ye Yuan''s ulterior motives.


    Small fries had small fries'' way of living. Although the brawny-looking man might appear unrefined most of the time, in reality, he was sharp in some ways. He was still relying on Qian Miao to save his life, and so, in order to not offend Qian Miao, he tied Qian Miao and him together. Additionally, he brought out the group of demonic beast hunters, all to make Ye Yuan retreat in the face of difficulties.


    Even if Ye Yuan does not retreat in the face of the overwhelming odds, the Ye Family would know better than to offend the entire group of demonic beast hunters.


    Many of those who came here were demonic beast hunters. After hearing his words, the scene became chaotic immediately.


    "That''s right! What Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python! Never heard of it!"


    "This affluent second generation really lost face for Grandmaster Ye! It looks like the Ye Family won''t be able to compete with the Drunken Star Manor, and its glory will end with this generation. What bullshit Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python?! I''ve been around the Endless Forest for almost 30 years, and I''ve never even heard of such a demonic beast."


    "Enough, enough. I think we all better go over to the Drunken Star Manor. A perfectly fine Fragrant Medicine Pavilion befouled by an affluent second generation."


    Ye Yuan remained standing still silently, which was unthinkable to Qian Miao who knew him well. If it happened in the past, this punk Ye Yuan would have exploded long ago. Yet now, he was behaving like nothing''s happening, as if those patients were not scolding him.


    However, Ye Yuan had thoroughly swept away any face he had today. No matter from which perspective one looked at, Qian Miao stood at the side of reason, so he had nothing to fear. Best to let this brat suffer some hardship. Otherwise, if things continue like this, the family business carved out by Old Ye would sooner or later be destroyed by this brat''s hands.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze slowly turned towards the noisy crowd and swept his gaze over those who were happily making the most noise. Initially, those people were very pleased, but without knowing why, those who crossed sights with Ye Yuan, felt like their entire person fell into an ice cellar.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze finally fixed onto the face of the person who first incited everyone to go to the Drunken Star Manor. That man was just in the midst of snickering to himself when all of a sudden, he felt a piercing cold killing intent lock onto him. His facial expression froze, feeling indescribable eeriness.


    He was a very keen and capable middle-aged man, as well as a demonic beast hunter himself. Those familiar with him knew him as Liu An, but nobody knew that he was actually a spy placed among the demonic beast hunters by the Drunken Star Manor. Anytime something valuable was discovered in the Endless Forest, he would kill and rob that person, and then passed it over to Drunken Star Manor.


    This Drunken Star Manor was precisely the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s biggest competitor in the State of Qin.


    All of a sudden, the initially noisy hall turned silent; the racket akin to a waterfall was being cut in half and stopped abruptly.


    For a moment, the hall was so quiet that one could even hear a pin drop. The silence was terrifyingly oppressive.


    Liu An was stared at by Ye Yuan that he had goosebumps all over his body. He thought to himself, what''s going on? This punk, Ye Yuan, clearly only has the power of a First Level Essence Qi Realm.A person at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm like him could crush someone like Ye Yuan to death with a single hand. So why would he experience such terrifying oppression where he did not even dare to breathe loudly, the feeling of facing a terrifying opponent?


    Ye Yuan''s strength was evident at a glance. Apart from a few mortals in the hall, virtually everyone was able to see his cultivation realm with a glance. A punk who was weak to the extreme, how could he possibly create such a sense of oppression?


    Liu An felt that this was definitely a hallucination, yet the silent hall constantly reminded him that it was not.


    The oppressive feeling made him feel extremely uncomfortable, making him feel like he absolutely had to dispel the current state. An Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm being oppressed by a First Level Essence Qi Realm till he could not speak? What an utter joke!


    Liu An decided to tear apart this joke. Gathering a breath of true essence, he was just about to open his mouth when Ye Yuan''s gaze moved away from his body . . .


    Pffft!


    Ye Yuan''s words were interrupted halfway by a sound.


    The crowd turned towards the source of the sound and discovered that it was by Liu An. At that moment, he was spraying a mouthful of blood far away, splattering on quite a few people.


    He forcefully gathered a breath of true essence to talk, and yet Ye Yuan just happened to withdraw the pressure exerted onto his body, which made his chest feel like it was heavily struck by a sledgehammer. Plus his body was originally carrying some injuries, so he directly sprayed out a mouthful of old blood, and became even more heavily injured right now.


    "Young Master, this person seemed to be heavily injured. Why not let Master Qian treat him first?" Lu-er pulled on Ye Yuan''s sleeve and said pitifully.


    Ye Yuan''s face briefly revealed an astonished expression, but he was actually full of joy in his heart. He thought to himself that this little lass was intelligent, to actually have such a remarkable follow-up.


    "Killing a chicken with a butcher''s knife? It might look serious, but in reality, this warrior only has some light internal injuries. Our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s Heart Protecting Pill is renowned far and wide. Just let him consume one, and it will do." Ye Yuan had a radiant smile on his face while he looked at Liu An.


    Lu-er saw that Liu An looked horrifying, so she did not wait for Ye Yuan orders, and immediately left to fetch the medicine. But this deeply frightened Liu An.


    "N-no need. T-there are still so many people queuing up in front of me, c-cutting isn''t very nice," Liu An said with guilt.


    "That won''t do. I know you don''t trust me, but are you telling me that you can''t trust our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation? I believe everyone is aware of the reputation of our Heart Protecting Pill. Using it to treat your injuries will definitely work," Ye Yuan said, full of concern.


    As he finished, even Qian Miao nodded and said, "That''s right. This time around, Little Yuan isn''t messing around. Even though your injuries aren''t severe, it wouldn''t be good if it continues to deteriorate. Using a Heart Protecting Pill to treat your injuries is perfect."


    In reality, Ye Yuan''s gaze just now stopped on quite a few people. It was just that it paused on Liu An''s body just slightly longer. The others did not feel what he felt, so they did not discover anything amiss with Liu An.


    Right now, Ye Yuan seemed to be full of concern for Liu An. Even though nobody knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd, there was nothing wrong with saving people.


    In the time it took to have this conversation, Lu-er already rushed back like a gust of wind with a Heart Protecting Pill.


    "Young Master, here." Lu-er gave it to Ye Yuan like she wanted to claim credit for it.


    Turning around, Ye Yuan received the medicinal pill. Petting Lu-er''s head, he smiled and said, "It was hard on you."


    "Not at all." Lu-er shook her head vigorously.


    Right now, Ye Yuan had his back turned towards the crowd, and nobody, not even Lu-er, noticed his hand movements.


    If one were to pay attention to Ye Yuan''s hand that was holding the medicinal pill, one would discover that the medicinal pill was not being held in his hand, but instead, hovering on top of his palm. While at the same time, Ye Yuan''s fingers were moving at a very high frequency.


    After talking with Lu-er, Ye Yuan turned around, walked in front of Liu An and passed the medicine pill to him. "Here, swallow it quickly."


    Receiving the Heart Protecting Pill, Liu An''s face changed color several times. Did this brat really discover something? No matter what, this brat isn''t some saint, so why would he suddenly be concerned about others.


    Just as Liu An was feeling nervous and uneasy, his eyes swept around until they were on Qian Miao who was by the side. Immediately, he went up and said righteously, "Master Qian, it''s not me who''s narrow-minded, but rather, Young Master Ye whose reputation isn''t that good. Honestly speaking, I worry about this medicinal pill. Master Qian, please make the decision for me!"


    When he said this, everyone all nodded in agreement. But Lu-er could not stand it. "You are such an ungrateful person! Our family''s Young Master is filled with good intentions to save you, yet you are suspecting him!"


    "Hmph. Everybody knows what kind of person your young master is. Is there anything wrong with suspecting him?" Right now, Liu An also became resolute and refused to eat it.


    Qian Miao looked at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was very calm and did not get angry because of this, making him even more suspicious.


    Looking once more at the medicinal pill in Liu An''s hands, he took it and scrutinized it, even sniffing it before saying, "This is indeed our Heart Protecting Pill without anything inappropriate. Furthermore, this particular Heart Protecting Pill''s medicinal fragrance is overflowing. Clearly, its quality is even greater than the average ones. I am not forcing you to eat this Heart Protecting Pill, but your injuries right now aren''t light. If you are not careful, it might affect your cultivation in the future. I advise you to just take it."


    Liu An really became confused this time. Could it be that he was really overthinking it? Supposedly, Ye Yuan, this brat had just escaped death, did he really have a change in nature ever since?


    Qian Miao, this old fellow, is an honorable man, so he can''t possibly be cheating me.Thinking up to this point, Liu An gave thanks and swallowed the Heart Protecting Pill in one go.

 Chapter 6: Changing the Prescription

    Chapter 6: Changing the Prescription


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    When the medicinal pill reached his abdomen, Liu An felt a refreshing wave. It was as if his entire body relaxed quite a bit.


    The medicine''s efficacy was pretty good!


    From the looks of it, this punk Ye Yuan really had a change in personality. To actually give him a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill. At this moment, Liu An felt he gauged the heart of a gentleman with one''s own mean measure.


    "This Warrior, how are you feeling?" Ye Yuan asked, his face beaming with a smile.


    Liu An cupped his hands and replied with gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master Ye. This one was too rash. I hope you can overlook my transgression. However, let''s return to the topic at hand. Forgive me for being ignorant, but I''ve never heard before of a demonic beast called Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python."


    Liu An did not overlook his mission and immediately dragged the topic back after he recovered.


    After the disturbance, everyone''s focus was diverted and forgot all about that matter. Now that Liu An brought it up again, everyone came to a realization and once again looked towards Ye Yuan with contempt in their eyes.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Actually, a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python is a mutation of a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. It''s just that a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python is more common, while a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python is much rarer. Snakes belong to the yin attribute. Thus, the majority of snake species possesses yin poison. However, there is a minority which mutated to have yang attribute. It happens to be that the one you encountered was this. Appearance wise, a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python doesn''t differ much from a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. However, it''s known as the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python because there''s a seven-colored flower on its seven inches thick skin."


    "This demonic beast has a huge frame. When this Warrior was facing it, there was no way of spotting that seven-colored flower. Naturally, this means that he couldn''t differentiate between a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python and Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python. It''s just that these two demonic beasts, one possesses yin poison while the other yang poison. If we used the prescription intended for yin poison to detoxify yang poison, we would actually be harming this warrior."


    Ye Yuan finished talking while Qian Miao started frowning.


    What Ye Yuan said sounded plausible, with virtually no flaws. If this brawny man were genuinely suffering from a Yang poison, then this treatment method would really harm him.


    However, he could not comprehend how Ye Yuan came up with this diagnosis. How could Ye Yuan possibly know a demonic beast that he himself had never even heard of before? Even if he knew about this demonic beast, how had he found out the poison inflicted on this brawny man was different from the venom of Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python?


    "Humph!Even if it existed this so-called Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python that you spoke of, why are the symptoms of his poisoning exactly the same as the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python?" Qian Miao asked coldly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and replied, "What''s so unusual about that? A Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python and a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python both came from a common ancestor. Naturally, after being poisoned, the symptoms are almost similar, but not the same. This warrior, try pressing down on the spot seven inches below your armpit."


    The brawny man was at a loss on what he should do. Seeing Qian Miao nodded his head, he then measured the mentioned range of seven inches below his armpit and pressed down the spot.


    There was not much force, but a pained expression immediately appeared on his face. Following which, a mouthful of blood sprayed out.


    As the blood splattered on the ground, a foul stench assaulted their noses. Seeing how it made people feel dizzy, it was clear it contained a deadly poison.


    "This . . ." Qian Miao was astonished. Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison was not uncommon; hence, he was able to identify it after a brief diagnosis. But according to what he knew, Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison would absolutely not have such a situation occur.


    Although a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison is potent, it is far from being this overbearing.


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly and ordered the attendants, "Men, come and clean this place."


    If it were in the past, most likely no one would heed his order. But looking at the current situation happening in front of their eyes, two servants immediately came forth and started cleaning.


    These two servants were clearly used to doing such things. Soon enough, no sign of blood could be seen on the ground.


    Qian Miao''s facial expression kept changing before finally taking in a deep breath and said, "Yuan-er, in your opinion, how should the Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s poison be treated?"


    By saying this, it was equivalent to acknowledging his misdiagnosis earlier. It was just that in front of so many people, there was naturally no way he would apologize to a junior. Hence, his words were more subtle with implicit meaning.


    Furthermore, the way he addressed Ye Yuan also had changed. Calling him with Yuan-er seemed much intimate now. Of course, with his status, Qian Miao could certainly address him as Yuan-er.


    Even so, these words caused a stir in the crowd.


    "Yin poison has to be treated with yang means. Yang poison naturally has to be treated with yin means. Uncle Qian has a deep understanding towards medicines. The prescription just now didn''t actually have major mistakes. You just have to swap yang attribute medicines with yin attribute ones. That will do. Green Flow Grass and Vermillion Soul Sand are neutral medicines. But Ironwind Eagle belongs under yang attribute. Furthermore, eagle subdues snake. If it were the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison, this medicine would be the best. Right now, we just have to swap the Ironwind Eagle''s inner core with a Lightning Ferret''s inner core, and that should solve this problem. A Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s poison burns more fiercely. So it is best to add some Extreme Yin Datura."


    Ye Yuan talked as if he already had a well-thought-out plan. But most importantly, everything he said was reasonable and well-founded. As long as the person understood medicine, there would be no way to refute his words at all.


    Lu-er looked at the Young Master and felt that he was simply too handsome today.


    "Mas-Master Qian, i-is it true what he just said?" the brawny man asked hesitatingly.


    Qian Miao took one look at the brawny man, shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Honestly, even I''m not so sure now. But looking at the poisonous blood you spat out just now, what you are inflicted with, indeed, doesn''t look like a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison."


    "Bu-But will the method he said work? What if I die from his treatment?"


    It was not that the brawny man did not have faith in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. It was just Ye Yuan''s former reputation was too rotten. This prejudice left him unable to trust Ye Yuan at all.


    His body''s poison as diagnosed by Ye Yuan was only the latter''s claim. Nobody could determine whether it''s real or bogus. How could he be confident?


    Qian Miao forced a smile and said, "I don''t know either. But I feel that his method is worth a shot. What do you think?"


    "What are you still standing there for? Quickly grab the materials! Do you want the patient to die from the poison?"


    At this moment, a thunderous voice roared in everyone''s ears. The crowd looked toward the door and saw a rough-looking man walked in swiftly.


    "Understood, Family Head." The attendant standing beside Qian Miao saw who it was and immediately responded and left.


    That man was Ye Hang.


    "Father."


    "Family Head."


    Ye Yuan and Qian Miao greeted Ye Hang at the same time.


    Ye Hang stopped in front of Ye Yuan and nodded his head lightly. With approval and relief being apparent in his eyes, Ye Hang said, "Looks like your personality changed for real this time. To have finished reading all those books I left you during this period, you really did diligently studied the Dao of Alchemy. Not bad."


    Without waiting for Ye Yuan''s reply, he turned and said to the brawny man, "Little Brother, my son is right. You are truly inflicted with a Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s poison and not a Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison. This type of demonic beast is extremely uncommon which led to Old Qian being unable to identify it. I apologize for that. However, the prescription my son issued isn''t wrong either; just drink it and see. If something happened, my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would take full responsibility. What do you think?"


    Ye Hang had a very distinguished identity in the entire State of Qin. Usually, it was impossible to see him here; let alone request for him to treat you. Today, he personally guaranteed it. What reason was there left for the brawny man to hesitate?


    Looks like even though the Ye Family''s Young Master might be incompetent, it was in no way as exaggerated as the rumors outside. At least he had some real capabilities.

 Chapter 7: Bleeding from the Seven Orifices

    Chapter 7: Bleeding from the Seven Orifices


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In a courtyard at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Ye Hang was currently glaring at Ye Yuan.


    "Stinky brat, tell me honestly, how did you identify it?"


    Ye Yuan looked helplessly at his father and replied, "A wild guess."


    "Hmph! I was nearly hoodwinked by you yesterday. Looks like you really are different than in the past. What Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python. I''ve never heard of it before this too. Just now, even if I personally diagnosed him, I''m afraid the results would be the same as with Old Qian."


    Thinking of it now, Ye Hang was a little fearful after that episode. If it was not for his son''s stroke of genius, the golden signboard of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would be ruined today.


    That brawny-looking man already drank the medicine, and he got better. He was eternally grateful to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and Ye Yuan. What was supposed to be a disaster, became a good thing because of the anomaly, Ye Yuan.


    In fact, what could be foreseen after today was that the prestige of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would soar even higher among the demonic beast hunters. The benefits involved would be immense.


    "What? Even Lord Father doesn''t know about this? I thought that with your attainments in the Alchemy Dao, treating this sort of poison would be a piece of cake." Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised.


    "A piece of cake? Hehehe. Naturally, within this tiny State of Qin, I have some status. But outside of the State of Qin, I, your father, am nothing. What Alchemy Grandmaster? It''s merely just crossing the threshold of the great path of Alchemy. The State of Qin is a well, and I am a frog in that well. It''s just that I am a slightly larger frog. There are too many things I don''t understand."


    Ye Hang suddenly started to mock himself, looking a little desolate, which made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised. In his predecessor''s memory, his father, Ye Hang, was a man of indomitable spirit, as if nothing could bring him down. He had never seen his father reveal such an expression before.


    Ye Yuan could feel that Ye Hang displayed this side of him because he felt that his son had grown up and was more sensible now. So he felt like a heavy load had lifted off his shoulders, which was why his tightly wound nerves finally relaxed.


    Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart. His father most likely had his heart crushed over these years for his son. It was just that he never showed it in front of his son.


    Ye Yuan once again thought of his past life''s father, Zhengyang Zi, and felt a multitude of feelings surge up. He could not bear to mock Ye Hang anymore, so he opened his mouth and said, "Father, I know what you want to ask. Actually, I also don''t know what''s going on. This time around when I got poisoned and was on the verge of death, I met an expert in a dream. He imparted to me both martial and alchemy techniques which were exceedingly profound. Initially, I thought it was just a dream, but after waking up, I discovered that I remembered clearly what happened in the dream. Furthermore, I could completely do it in reality. If it wasn''t for that expert, with Father''s means, you probably wouldn''t see me again."


    Ye Yuan could not possibly tell Ye Hang that his son''s body had already been occupied by another soul. So he had no choice but to fabricate a white lie which was close to the truth.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Ye Hang could not help but become ecstatic. To think an expert took fancy of his son and imparted profound techniques in his dreams. This was a completely inconceivable thought for him. With such an expert for a master, the massive boulder that had been pressing on Ye Hang''s heart was finally lifted.


    "T-That expert, did he say who he was? He saved my son''s life. As a father, I''ve got to at least thank him."


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That expert didn''t reveal his name, neither did he say why he saved me. He just said to properly comprehend the skills he imparted to me. When the time comes, he will naturally look for me again."


    "So that''s the case . . . Then the next time you see him, you must definitely give thanks to him on Father''s behalf," Ye Hang said with regret.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course. Father, I still have some matters on hand, so I will take my leave first."


    A moment later, Ye Yuan arrived at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion once more and said to the shopkeeper, "In a while, if someone looks for me, let him come to the manor at the east of the city. Additionally, here is a prescription. Help me prepare the medicines."


    . . . . . .


    Presently, Liu An was quite pleased with himself, while also feeling a little dejected.


    He was pleased because Ye Yuan that brat was indeed a fool. To actually give a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill to someone with both hands. That Heart Protecting Pill''s effects seemed to be exceptionally good. Currently, not only were his injuries healed, there was even a faint sign of breaking through after his injuries recovered.


    He had already been stuck at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm for many years, and yet he could never seem to touch the threshold of the Ninth Level. Liu An was prepared to first temporarily put aside his duties for the Drunken Star Manor so that he could attempt to impact through the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm with full force.


    What made him dejected was that Drunken Star Manor''s scheme to redirect the troubled waters had failed. And it actually failed due to a silkpants.


    No matter how Liu An thought of the incident, he just could not figure out how a silkpants was able to identify and treat a poison which even the Manor Lord of the Drunken Star Manor, Wan Donghai, could not handle.


    This Wan Donghai was an existence on the same level as Ye Hang. His attainments in the Alchemy Dao even faintly surpassed Ye Hang. How could the ignorant and incompetent son of Ye Hang possibly have survived through that situation?


    And yet, the situation happened like that right under his eyes. Currently, Liu An had a headache thinking about how he should account to the Manor Lord.


    Therefore, Liu An did not even believe that the brawny-looking man was treated by Ye Yuan, but instead, it was Ye Hang who took action behind the scene. Ye Yuan was just a chess piece which Ye Hang pushed out into the open.


    '' Looks like this Ye Hang is very shrewd. When I return, I have to warn the Manor Lord to be on guard. ''


    While Liu An was thinking as he walked, he suddenly discovered something wrong. The area underneath his nostrils was a little wet. Reaching out to touch it, he jumped in fright when he saw that his hands were covered in fresh blood.


    Overly heaty? What kind of joke was this? He was an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist. How could he possibly have a nosebleed because his body was heaty?


    Somehow, he suddenly recalled Ye Yuan''s sincere smiling face, and he shuddered uncontrollably.


    Immediately, he shook his head and rejected that thought. He, Liu An, was not some rookie. Even though he was not at a high level like Qian Miao, he was still capable of identifying between a fake and a genuine medicine. That medicinal pill was absolutely a Heart Protecting Pill; furthermore, it was a high-grade Heart Protecting Pill.


    Definitely too heaty.


    Liu An consoled himself in this manner, but he quickly discovered that he was too naive.


    Not long after, blood then flowed from his two eyes, followed by his ears, and finally, he directly coughed up a large mouthful of blood. His internal organs felt like it caught fire, and his viscera was ablaze right now.


    At this moment, he could confirm that he was indeed poisoned.


    Liu An could also be considered someone who frequently walked along the borders of life and death. But the more so, the more he was terrified of dying. Right now, his entire person felt a chill as if frozen. He had never experienced the despair he was feeling right now even back when he faced powerful demonic beasts.


    At this moment, Liu An only had one thought, which was to survive. He sprinted desperately towards the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. There was not much time left for him.


    . . . . . .


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s shopkeeper was shocked by this person bleeding from his seven orifices. He did not care about anything and just grabbed onto his sleeve after entering, requesting to meet Young Master Ye.


    The shopkeeper was taken aback and did not react in time. Suddenly, he recalled what the young master instructed before leaving, so he told the address to this blood-covered person in front of him.


    After that person left, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled. "This person is really weird. Already like that, and yet he didn''t look for Master Qian, but Young Master instead. For what? Unless Young Master knows how to treat diseases?"


    Everyone, including initially Liu An, thought that the brawny-looking man being saved today could not possibly have anything to do with Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 8: Courting Death

    Chapter 8: Courting Death


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In the alchemy room at the east side of Ye Hang''s manor.


    Lu-er stared wide-eyed, amazed at the smooth black medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    "Wah! Young Master, when did you become so amazing?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and pinched Lu-er''s delicate pink nose. He then grumpily replied, "Since when your young master isn''t amazing?"


    Originally intended as a joke, who knew Lu-er actually seriously pondered awhile before nodding. "Oh, in the past, people always talked bad about Young Master. I don''t know why, but I''ve always thought of Young Master as a good person. It''s just that now Young Master is even more impressive. Right, what does this pill do?"


    One day after transmigrating, Lu-er already became the closest person to Ye Yuan. Without hiding anything, Ye Yuan explained, "It''s poison, a very potent one."


    Lu-er seemingly frightened by this and asked, "Ah? Why did Young Master refine something like this?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Naturally for a person to eat."


    Lu-er mused over this explanation, before replying with a straight face, "I understand. Young Master definitely refined this poison for bad guys to eat."


    Ye Yuan laughed out loud and said, "Let''s go. The bad guy is almost here. We will wait for him in the parlor."


    The two just stepped into the parlor, and a servant came to report that a person with a bloodied face was at the front entrance of the manor seeking for an audience. Ye Yuan commanded him to bring that person over.


    Momentarily, the servant brought a pitiful looking Liu An to the parlor.


    Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Liu An sprinted over. Hugging Ye Yuan''s leg and crying, he said, "Young Master Ye, I beg you to be magnanimous and save me, please. We don''t have any grudges between us. Why do you want to put me to death?!"


    Ye Yuan gave a look of disdain and then sent Liu An flying with a kick before squatting down and said, "Don''t have any grudges? Do you really take me for a fool? No matter how many Heart Protecting Pills my Ye Family has, we wouldn''t take it out to feed dogs. Make your choice now. Do you want to confess in exchange for the antidote or die due to the poison?"


    Even after being sent flying with a kick, Liu An did not have any complaints and nearly tripped over himself while crawling back. Only this time he did not dare to hug Ye Yuan''s legs again. However, Ye Yuan was just at the First Level Essence Qi Realm; even if the kick was packed with true essence, it was unable to cause any substantial harm to Liu An.


    As to the risk for Liu An retaliating like a desperate dog leaping over a wall, Ye Yuan was not concerned at all. That was because Liu An''s true essence scattered all over in his body, and he was unable to gather them together.


    "Young Master Ye, I truly don''t know what you meant by that! I only came to Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to get treated. Even if I''d offended you, it isn''t deserving of death. I am only a small figure. I beg of you, Young Master Ye. Just treat me like a fart and let me go," Liu An said as he cried without even trying to maintain his dignity.


    Ye Yuan did not speak and only looked at Liu An''s alarmed face until the latter became flustered.


    At this point, Liu An still held onto one last trace of possibility that Ye Yuan''s wastrel disease struck and that this was a practical joke. He hoped that by letting go of his dignity, he could coax Ye Yuan into giving him the antidote. If people found out about his shady identity, he would be hunted down by demonic beast hunters.


    However, after Ye Yuan stared at him for a long time with that same gaze, Liu An''s heart hit rock bottom.


    Ye Yuan looked at Liu An and suddenly smiled. A smile which made his heart went cold.


    "Yo-Young Master Ye."


    "Hahaha. It''s fine if you don''t want to talk, I have plenty of time, but you don''t. Right now, do you feel your organs burning up, and your entire body as if it''s about to ablaze? This is merely the beginning. After a while, your skin wouldn''t be able to withstand it and start to crack open, bit by bit. Eventually, your entire body will go pah!And explode like a watermelon."


    As Ye Yuan spoke, he even made an explosion gesture with his hands. Liu An''s entire body quaked as if following Ye Yuan''s hand movements and exploded.


    At this point, Liu An knew he was out of luck. Ye Yuan definitely saw through something.


    Analyzing everything up to this point, Liu An''s heart swiftly calmed down. This was an ability developed through countless years of hunting demonic beasts; he became an extraordinarily sinister and cunning person. His mind calculated everything, and a scheme developed.


    It was already impossible to return to the past with the situation that was happening right now. Liu An decided to go all out. As long as he managed to swindle the antidote from Ye Yuan''s hands, he would immediately kill Ye Yuan and this little girl before leaving for a distant place.


    Liu An was a decisive man. Now that the scheme was in place, there was no need to delay things any longer. Naturally, he would not reveal his inner thoughts. Instead, he continued to maintain a pitiful and helpless appearance in order to deceive Ye Yuan.


    Liu An repeatedly kowtowed and babbled nonstop, "Young Master Ye, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. I can''t hide anything from your keen sight. I''m willing to tell Young Master Ye everything. I only beg Young Master Ye to spare my worthless life."


    Ye Yuan looked as if he was delighted with Liu An''s performance. He smiled and said, "That will depend on whether the information you are going to reveal is valuable or not. If it is, this Young Master naturally will not make things difficult for a small fry like you."


    Liu An became thrilled upon hearing this. He thought to himself, this punk is indeed a pampered child, baited with just a little bit of honey. Liu An no longer hesitated and spilled everything out.


    The truth did not deviate much from Ye Yuan''s conjecture. That brawny man initially went to several medicinal pill stores. Occasionally, there would be physicians who could recognize the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison. But they were helpless against it.


    Do not look down on Qian Miao just because he was nothing in front of Ye Yuan. When put in the entire Qin Country, he was a top-ranked individual. He could identify and treat the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python''s poison, but this does not mean that others could do the same. Luckily they could not handle it; otherwise, the brawny man would have long succumbed to the poison.


    Left without any choice, the brawny man then went to the Drunken Star Manor first. Coincidentally, the Drunken Star Manor''s Manor Lord, Wan Donghai, happened to be there and saw the brawny man.


    The diagnosis of a Drunken Star Manor''s physician was actually the same as Qian Miao''s. However, Wan Donghai saw that something was not quite right, and requested the brawny man to seek a more capable expert.


    Within the State of Qin, other than the Drunken Star Manor, there was only the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. What could the brawny man do, other than to go try his luck at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? Wan Donghai could feel that something was wrong, but like Ye Hang, he was helpless against the poison.


    Your enemy would be the person who understood you the most. Wan Dong Hai was confident that Ye Hang could not neutralize this poison. Hence, he sent Liu An to blend with the crowd and wait for an opportunity to fan the flames in order to ruin the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation. If the situation went out of control, it would be best to incite the demonic beast hunters to smash up the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    That way, even if the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was not destroyed, it would result in a considerable loss of reputation, leaving them unable to compete with the Drunken Star Manor any longer.


    Liu An who was wounded earlier had just returned to the capital of the State of Qin. Furthermore, he was quick-witted which made him the most suitable candidate.


    Initially, everything had been going along as planned by Wan Donghai. But who knew halfway through, something unexpected would happen. Ye Yuan unexpectedly actually managed to resolve this poison, leaving Liu An unable to do anything.


    "Hehehe. It really was Wan Donghai. What a great trick to manipulate this incident." Ye Yuan smiled coldly.


    This Wan Donghai had always viewed Ye Yuan''s father as an enemy. Both were Alchemy Grandmaster with prominent status within the state. Yet, Wan Donghai was an insidious, unscrupulous person, completely different than Ye Hang.


    Ye Yuan was naturally familiar with this Wan Donghai. Although his predecessor was far from being a match for Wan Donghai, his son Wan Yuan, was his nemesis at the Dan Wu Academy.


    Naturally, although they are rivals, it was actually Wan Yuan one-sidedly bullying Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan thoroughly could not retaliate at all. Although Wan Yuan was also another silkpants like him, he was still outstanding among the students at the Dan Wu Academy. Apart from reaching the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, he even became an Alchemy Apprentice of the Dao of Alchemy.


    Even among the talents in the Dan Wu Academy, Wan Yuan was an exceptional genius who was well-favored. In comparison, Ye Yuan was not even fit to hold his shoes up.


    In fact, the matter regarding Ye Yuan''s poisoning, after analyzing his predecessor''s memories, there was an 80% likelihood that Wan Yuan being the mastermind behind the incident.


    Good! Excellent! The old grievances have yet to fade, and new grudges were formed already. This father and son pair from the Wan Family . . . This feud, we will never reconcile!Ye Yuan thought and laughed coldly in his heart.


    "Yo-Young Master Ye, I''ve said what I should say, as well as what I shouldn''t have. Don''t you think . . .?" Liu An said weakly.


    Just now, he even revealed that he was a spy for the Drunken Star Manor; all just to obtain Ye Yuan''s trust and swindle that antidote from him.


    Feeling satisfied, Ye Yuan nodded. Taking out the newly refined poison pill, he threw it to Liu An and said, "Not bad. You''ve performed well. This antidote is your reward."


    Liu An received the pill and was feeling elated. Without even being skeptical, he swallowed it and immediately meditated to absorb the medicinal effects.


    Indeed, the moment the pill reached his abdomen and was being absorbed, his originally stagnant true essence started circulating immediately. His eyes suddenly snapped open, and he flew forward like a cheetah with clawed hands, moving towards Ye Yuan''s throat.


    "Ah! Young Master!" Lu-er at the side gave a shrill scream. Without even thinking, she jumped in front of Ye Yuan.


    This claw attack was abnormally vicious, bringing with it an imposing aura tempered by the life-and death-situations he encountered daily as a demonic beast hunter. Against a little rookie like Ye Yuan, it was impossible to fail.


    And yet, this claw suddenly stopped three inches away from Lu-er''s throat. Following this, Liu An collapsed to the ground and started convulsing; his face distorted in pain.


    Ye Yuan pulled Lu-er aside from the back. Looking with pity at Liu An who was on the ground, he smiled coldly and said, "Disasters from the heavens can be withstood, but the evil we bring upon ourselves is the hardest to bear. If you didn''t have any devious ideas, this Heart Inch Fissure Poison wouldn''t activate this early. Yet, because you had vicious thoughts, you have to suffer more."


    "W-Why . . ." Liu An twitched as he squeezed out the word between his teeth.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You thought the Heart Protecting Pill I gave you back at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was actually poison. In reality, that was really a Heart Protecting Pill. It''s just that the medicinal pill had been refined several times. Consequently, the medicinal effects became several times more violent. You are bleeding from the seven orifices and unable to gather true essence was merely some side effects. There was actually no serious problem with your body. Once the medicinal effects passed, not only would you be completely fine, you might have experienced improvement."


    "But the pill you just ate was a real poison pill, the Heart Inch Fissure Pill. Furthermore, the effects are extremely violent. After consuming it, you will suffer from the pain of your intestines rupturing for six hours each day. Moreover, each time it happens, it will become even stronger. All the way until you die."


    Ye Yuan''s words clearly reached Liu An''s ears. This seemed to make him convulsed even more violently.

 Chapter 9: Its Impolite Not to Reciprocate

    Chapter 9: It''s Impolite Not to Reciprocate


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At the Drunken Star Manor.


    Streams of people can be seen busily going in and out.


    In the manor, a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional outfit appeared very restless and kept pacing around non-stop. Beside him sat a middle-aged man who looked very calm.


    "Big Brother, why isn''t there any news from that Liu An? Could it be that the brawny-looking man''s poison was cured by Ye Hang?"


    The one talking was precisely the man pacing around, Wan Dongyang; he was Wan Donghai''s brother, an alchemist himself from the same sect. The person sitting down naturally was the Manor Lord of the Drunken Star Manor, Wan Donghai.


    But Wan Donghai was composed and said unhurriedly, "Dongyang, remain calm. I am all too clear on Ye Hang''s abilities. It''s impossible for him to treat that poison. We just have to sit here and wait for the good news to come."


    "Aiya.Big Brother, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion has been competing with us for so many years. Now that we finally have this opportunity, how can we ease the hatred in our hearts if we don''t take them down completely?" Wan Dongyang gritted his teeth and said.


    "Haha. Oh Dongyang, you really need to fix that short temper of yours. Otherwise, it will be tough to break through and reach the Alchemist Grandmaster Realm. The poison inflicted on that brawny-looking man was very peculiar. If I guessed correctly, it should be poison from the mythical Seven-Colored Flowing Cloud Python. If it wasn''t for the fact that I happened to read a word or two about it from an incomplete book, I''m afraid it would be our Drunken Star Manor who would suffer from this. But since I encountered it, then Ye Hang deserves to be unlucky. However, it''s only being unlucky. It''s not realistic to use this to bring down Ye Hang. At best, this matter would only let us suppress them in the business aspect." Wan Donghai remained unperturbed.


    Even though Wan Donghai said all that, there was not the slightest bit of unhappiness on Wan Dongyang''s face. The step from Alchemy Master to Alchemy Grandmaster might seem simple, but in reality, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Otherwise, there would not be so few Alchemy Grandmasters in the entire State of Qin.


    However, this impatient temper of his was probably not going to change as he asked impatiently, "Big Brother, why do I keep feeling that something is wrong? Why don''t we send someone down to check on the situation there?"


    Wan Donghai was afraid that if he acted rashly, he would alert and draw Ye Hang''s attention. Apart from Liu An, he did not send anyone else to inquire about the news. But if that side started to fight, they should have long received the news here.


    Unless there really was an unexpected accident?


    "Alright. You send someone to check it out." After thinking for a moment, Wan Donghai agreed.


    Wan Donghai was not really worried that something had happened to Liu An. After all, he and the Drunken Star Manor had no connections on the surface. He was merely a demonic beast hunter.


    Wan Dongyang acknowledged the instruction and was just about to send someone down when he heard urgent knocking on the door. "Manor Lord, something big is happening! Someone is here to cause trouble!"


    Hua.


    The door opened from the inside. Wan Donghai said coldly to the shopkeeper, "Who is it?"


    "Who is so audacious? To actually dare climb on top of our heads?! What are all of you doing?!" Hearing that someone was causing trouble, Wan Dongyang''s hot temper immediately surfaced.


    The shopkeeper''s face turned bitter and said, "T-they didn''t really come to cause trouble . . . I-it''s just to get a treatment."


    Seeing Wan Donghai''s face sank, the shopkeeper hurriedly rectified his words. "No no no, t-they are using seeking treatment as an excuse to challenge us."


    "Who is it?" Wan Donghai''s patience was almost exhausted.


    "I-it''s that silkpants from the Ye Family, Ye Hang''s son, Ye Yuan," the shopkeeper said while trembling.


    "Just a silkpants scared you until like this? Are you retarded? Do you still want your job as a shopkeeper?" The moment Wan Dongyang heard that it was Ye Yuan, he wanted to tear the shopkeeper apart.


    "Forget it, let''s go out and take a look," Wan Donghai commanded.


    . . . . . .


    The three of them went to the lobby and saw a youth sitting in an ostentatious manner where the shopkeeper was supposed to sit. Wan Donghai glared fiercely at the shopkeeper, but right now was not the time to punish him.


    Just as Wan Donghai was about to deal with Ye Yuan, he glanced sideways only to see Liu An who was like a dead dog on the ground; his heart jumped.


    Ye Yuan saw Wan Donghai appeared and took his time to get up. He walked in front of him, smiled and said, "Manor Lord Wan, this Little Nephew came here rather abruptly today. I hope you won''t take offense."


    Wan Donghai''s facial muscles twitched a little and forcefully suppressed the impulse to slap Ye Yuan to death with one blow. Forcing out a slightly ugly smile, he said, "Not at all. So it was Honorable Nephew who came. I was wondering which blind little bastard dared to be so rude in our Drunken Star Manor. If Honorable Nephew wants to come, it''s better to notify us beforehand, so that we wouldn''t be discourteous."


    Even though Wan Donghai wanted to gnash his teeth in hatred, he did not want to suffer a loss verbally, and so he scolded Ye Yuan being a little bastard. Everyone knew that the Drunken Star Manor and the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion were enemies, but they would still appear to be polite and amiable on the surface. They were all businessmen; if they were to really fight, in the future, who would dare to come and get their illnesses treated?


    Ye Yuan snickered in his heart at how narrow-minded Wan Donghai was, and yet, he was smiling as he said, "Aww shucks. It''s because I was anxious about saving people, and so I had no choice but to intrude. I''ve long heard that Manor Lord Wan''s Alchemy Dao is number one in the State of Qin. That was why this Little Nephew had the idea of coming here to save a life."


    Hearing what Ye Yuan was saying, Wan Donghai wished he could tear him apart alive. If there were only people from the Drunken Star Manor, those words would be fine. But on the way to the Drunken Star Manor, Ye Yuan caused a ruckus, as if he was afraid that people would not know he was bringing someone to challenge the Drunken Star Manor. He attracted many people, and currently, the Drunken Star Manor''s lobby was swarmed to the point where water cannot flow through.


    To say that Wan Donghai was the number one in the State of Qin in front of so many people was clearly intentional. One had to know that the Alchemy Grandmasters in the capital were not only Wan Donghai and Ye Hang. Ignoring others, there was also an Alchemy Grandmaster in the Imperial Family. If these words were to spread to the ears of the Imperial Family, Wan Donghai would be sitting on pins and needles.


    The intelligence network of the Imperial Family covered the entire state. God knows if there were a spy from the Imperial Family within the crowd.


    Currently, Wan Donghai was feeling uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, yet he had to smile and greet Ye Yuan, "What are you saying, Honorable Nephew? How can I dare to claim to be the number one in the State of Qin? At least your father''s and the Imperial Uncle''s Alchemy Dao standards aren''t below mine. However, I find it a little strange that Honorable Nephew came to the Drunken Star Manor to seek medical help. With an expert like your father, why didn''t you find him, but come to our Drunken Star Manor instead?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s a matter of expediency. Firstly, your Drunken Star Manor has always been hailed as number one in the capital. Secondly, it was obviously because this place is nearer."


    As Ye Yuan spoke, he pointed to Liu An who looked like a dead dog, and with a face full of benevolence he said, "I met this person in excruciating agony on the road. Thinking about how heaven cares for every living thing, I brought him to the Drunken Star Manor to seek medical help. But who would have thought that even after swapping a few physicians, they still couldn''t do it. This capital''s number one . . ."


    Wan Donghai suddenly discovered that he could not gain any advantage from this youth in front of him.


    Something was wrong. Yesterday, Yuan-er even sent news back saying that he plotted to poison Ye Hang''s son to death. So why was this brat alive and kicking here today at the Drunken Star Manor?


    Needless to say, if Ye Yuan casually found someone to cause trouble, Wan Donghai naturally would not be concerned. But he just had to bring over Liu An. This was indeed too much of a coincidence.


    Things would be fine if he could cure him. But if he could not, what if this Liu An betrayed the Drunken Star Manor? Liu An''s identity cannot be known to the public. Apart from fellow alchemists, many demonic beasts hunters were also there. Once Liu An''s identity was exposed, it would absolutely be a tremendous blow to the Drunken Star Manor.


    Then again, just what was wrong with Liu An? He was perfectly fine when he left for the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. It was only some internal injuries. Why did he become a dead dog when he returned?


    With Wan Donghai''s attainments in the Alchemy Dao, a single glance and he could tell that Liu An was poisoned. But just what kind of poison could leave so many masters completely helpless, and finally made the shopkeeper invited himself out?


    At that moment, Wan Donghai thought of everything which had happened and realized it was highly unusual. If this was not handled properly, it might cause a massive blow to the Drunken Star Manor.

 Chapter 10: Giving Him a Dose of His Own Medicine

    Chapter 10: Giving Him a Dose of His Own Medicine


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Currently, Wan Donghai was regretting that he did not send people to investigate the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. He remained passive as the situation was unclear. But he never expected something to happen to Liu An who had concealed himself so well.


    "Ma-Manor Lord, sa-save me." Liu An groaned and currently was lying feebly on the ground.


    Liu An''s words, as if it triggered Wan Donghai''s sensitive nerves, made him frown even harder, almost like an upside down eight. 1


    "Yiii? Manor Lord, why do I feel as if this friend over here knows you?" Ye Yuan acted as if he just realized something''s odd.


    He purposely said these words loudly so that everyone could hear them. Other people naturally felt nothing when they heard him, but these words held a different meaning in Wan Donghai''s ears.


    Wan Donghai felt extreme hatred in his heart, yet he displayed a nonchalant attitude. "Honorable Nephew, you must be joking. This Wan can be considered to have some fame within the Imperial City. My Drunken Star Manor also saved many demonic beast hunters before. Naturally, it isn''t strange for him to recognize me."


    Ye Yuan came to a realization and said, "So that''s the case! But when I brought this friend over here, I''ve never mentioned that he is a demonic beast hunter. How did Manor Lord Wan manage to tell with one glance? This nephew is impressed by Manor Lord Wan''s sharp eyes."


    Initially, the crowd was still unclear about what''s going on. But after Ye Yuan''s insinuation, everyone suddenly understood what was going on, resulting in an awkward atmosphere.


    Liu An was only an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist. It was not odd for him to recognize Wan Donghai, but for Wan Donghai to recognize him as a demonic beast hunter at a glance was definitely something unusual.


    However, this did not mean Wan Donghai cannot get to know demonic beast hunters. On the contrary, he knew several of them. However, with his status, the demonic beast hunters he knew were all at least Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists and outstanding ones at that. How could Wan Donghai recognize a small fry like Liu An?


    There was not a wall in this world which did not have a crack. There had always been rumors about the Drunken Star Manor sending people to infiltrate demonic beast hunter teams and killing their companions. It was just that there was never any evidence found. Furthermore, the Drunken Star Manor was extremely powerful and had helped many demonic beast hunters. Hence, these rumors had always remained as just hearsay.


    Ye Yuan intentionally baited Wan Donghai by purposely creating inconsistencies with what was said. This made it as if Wan Donghai had something to hide, which left the crowd to their imaginations.


    At this point, Wan Donghai felt as if there were tens of thousands of horses galloping across his heart, yet he was unable to stop Ye Yuan at all. Ye Yuan purposely blew the matter out of proportion so that Wan Donghai would spare the rat to save the dishes, and not take action against him.


    "Ha-Hahaha. Honorable Nephew misunderstood the situation. This person looks like he has some abilities, plus he is inflicted with a bizarre poison. Just a single glance and it''s clear there is an 80% chance he is a demonic beast hunter," Wan Donghai explained with a forced laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s goal had been accomplished, so he did not choose to keep harping on it. Instead, he left the crowd to their own thoughts.


    "So that''s the case. Manor Lord Wan would have to forgive me. This Nephew, I, was just recently poisoned and nearly lost my life. Hence, the doubt. Maybe I''m overthinking it. After all, those rumors are obviously nonsense. Oh right, we''ve been chatting for so long we almost forgot to save the patient. Just look at the expression in this friend''s eyes. He''s practically seeing Manor Lord Wan as his relative. Oops. Wrong. It is his savior." Ye Yuan messed around for some time before finally returning to the topic at hand.


    In any case, it''s not like you have to pay with your life for grossing people to death. Ye Yuan naturally did not mind grossing Wan Donghai out a little more; he was also collecting some interest for his predecessor.


    At this moment, Wan Donghai could not argue even with a hundred mouths; Ye Yuan would not give him the chance to do so either. Wan Donghai frowned as he looked at Liu An on the ground, and then instructed the servants, "Men, bring this . . . Friend to the back hall. I will diagnose him-"


    Wan Donghai was only half-finished before being interrupted by Ye Yuan. "Manor Lord Wan, can''t you see how many friends came today. All of us just want to witness the splendor of Manor Lord Wan''s Alchemy Dao. Manor Lord Wan cannot disappoint us! Everyone says that Manor Lord Wan is the best in the capital, yet few had actually seen Manor Lord Wan demonstrate own skills. Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. Manor Lord Wan should just display own abilities, so everyone can broaden their horizons, as well as giving us juniors an opportunity to observe. Right, everyone?"


    The crowd came to watch a show, and with such a great show starting they naturally would not leave. Instead, they echoed their support.


    Now that Wan Donghai was riding a tiger, he found it hard to get off. Looking at Ye Yuan, he wished he could hack him to pieces. At any rate, he was a grandmaster class figure. Who would have thought he would be cornered to such an extent in front of so many people by a junior?


    Isn''t it just a detoxification procedure? I will detoxify for you to see!Within the State of Qin, what poison was he unable to treat? Not to mention this poison was concocted by a junior like Ye Yuan.


    Wan Donghai understood Ye Hang quite well. This matter was definitely not instigated by Ye Hang. That fellow always competed openly and with honor. Even if it was to make trouble, he would not send his own son. This was definitely all Ye Yuan''s idea.


    Merely a silkpants. Did he expect he can flip the heavens?


    Although there was nothing to be proud of with smacking a junior''s face, since you already delivered yourself to the door, then isn''t it a shame to not smack you?


    Wan Donghai waved his long sleeve and instructed, "Since everyone''s in such a good mood, I will detoxify this friend in front of everyone. Men, set him down."


    Seeing this, the crowd acted as if they were on stimulants and flocked in at once. They really wanted to see how this super silkpants Ye Yuan, with his wide-spread notoriety, could challenge the Drunken Star Manor''s Manor Lord.


    By this time, even a fool would not believe that Ye Yuan just happened to bump into Liu An on the streets. This poison was most likely concocted by Ye Yuan himself.


    As for the person who got poisoned . . . even if it was not like in the rumors, he definitely had a close and intricate relationship with the Drunken Star Manor.


    Many of those present were professionals. They already found out about what happened in the morning over at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Connecting the dots to the situation happening under their eyes, several brighter folks already guessed Ye Yuan came here to give the Manor Lord a dose of his own medicine.


    . . . . . .


    Wan Donghai looked at the half-dead Liu An and could not wait to kill him with a single blow. This incompetent thing not only failed to complete his mission but had also caused so much trouble for him.


    At this moment, Liu An was already in agonizing pain, occasionally twitching, just like a dead fish.


    Wan Donghai did not want to smash his own signboard. Hence, there was no choice but to save Liu An.


    Wan Donghai occasionally lifted Liu An''s eyelids, sometimes took his pulse, and at times loosen up Liu An''s clothes to inspect his body. Tinkering for almost half the day, his heart gradually sunk to rock bottom; his brows locked even tighter together.


    He was actually incapable of identifying any clues at all!


    An Alchemy Grandmaster was actually unable to diagnose what poison the patient was inflicted with. This was completely inconceivable. Were it not for the fact Liu An was like a dead fish right now, Wan Donghai would even suspect that he was collaborating with Ye Yuan to tear down his stage.


    "Big Brother, how is it?" Looking at Wan Donghai''s knitted brows, Wan Dongyang had a bad premonition.


    "Go, fetch my high-grade Detoxification Pill over," Wan Donghai instructed while gritting his teeth together as if he just made a difficult decision.


    "What?! That high-grade Detoxification Pill was something you spent a great effort to refine; it''s intended for His Majesty. Now you want to use it on him?" exclaimed Wan Dongyang.


    "Just go since I asked you to! What''s with all the nonsense?" Wan Donghai had already lost his patience at this point and became very irritable.

 Chapter 11: Silencing

    Chapter 11: Silencing


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Wan Dongyang had never seen his big brother this anxious before. He did not dare to delay and quickly went to retrieve that high-grade Tier 3 Detoxification Pill.


    Detoxification Pill was a universal type of pill which meant it could treat any poison. But as for its efficacy, it depended on exactly what sort of poison the person was inflicted with.


    A Detoxification Pill could cure virtually any ordinary poison. Hence, it was the most widely used, as well as being one of the most practical pills.


    In Ye Yuan''s eyes, Detoxification Pill was considered under the low-level category of pills. For this pill, there were several tiers; there were Tier 1 Detoxification Pill, Tier 2 Detoxification Pill, and all the way to Tier 5 Detoxification Pill. As for poisons above Tier 5, a Detoxification Pill was basically useless against them. That was because poisons above Tier 5 were either very unique or extremely rare; Detoxification Pills were ineffective on them.


    This Detoxification Pill, refined by Wan Donghai, naturally was not an ordinary item within the State of Qin. This high-grade Tier 3 Detoxification Pill was his life''s most exceptional work. Not even Ye Hang could refine a Detoxification Pill of this grade.


    Even though both were Alchemy Grandmasters, they had their own specializations. Ye Yuan knew that his father, Ye Hang, was inferior in terms of dealing with poisons. That was why Ye Hang could only let Ye Yuan consume a low-grade Tier 3 Detoxification Pill while Wan Donghai could take out a high-grade Tier 3 Detoxification Pill.


    This Detoxification Pill essentially represented the pinnacle standard of this specialization within the State of Qin. Even the Imperial Uncle cannot be compared with Wan Donghai on this aspect.


    When Wan Dongyang handed the pill over to Wan Donghai, his face twitched violently. To use such a pill on a lackey such as Liu An was a waste of God''s gifts.


    Wan Donghai received the pill, looked at Ye Yuan, and gave a cold humph . Regardless of the result today, he was already bested by this junior.


    Yet Ye Yuan just stood there watching Wan Donghai with a nonchalant expression.


    Wan Donghai rolled his sleeves, and Liu An involuntarily sat up. Following this, Wan Donghai''s fingers rapidly jabbed Liu An with extreme speed. The crowd only saw an afterimage of fingers before hearing a series of puffing sounds.


    Each of Wan Donghai''s finger jabs made Liu An groaned in anguish. As the last finger jab landed, Liu An opened his mouth in excruciating pain. Wan Donghai did not hesitate and hastily threw the Detoxification Pill into Liu An''s mouth.


    After Liu An swallowed the pill, Wan Donghai then ceased his actions. Liu An who had lost his balance slumped down once more.


    Clap . . . Clap . . . Clap . . .


    At this moment, slow applause echoed. Ye Yuan sighed with a smile. "I''ve long heard Manor Lord Wan''s Profound Phantom Finger technique is exceedingly wondrous, capable of reviving the dead as well as granting a fate worse than death. Seeing it today truly broadened my horizons. How extraordinary!"


    Wan Donghai lightly gasped for air. Clearly, the bout just now was not so easy for him. Hearing the ridicule in Ye Yuan''s praise gave him the impulse to want to kill someone.


    "Humph! Who cares what poison was it. In front of my Profound Phantom Finger and the Detoxification Pill I refined, he will be as good as new."


    It was not that Wan Donghai was wildly arrogant. But within the State of Qin, he indeed had never encountered any problem he could not resolve.


    "That would be for the best. Just look at the state this friend is in. I also hope that he can be safe and sound." Ye Yuan then sighed.


    Ye Yuan sounded very sincere, as if Liu An was an old friend for many years. But to Wan Donghai''s ears, it conjured a faint premonition.


    As if confirming his thoughts, after those words, Liu An suddenly threw up a mouthful of blood.


    Wan Donghai''s face changed color. Supporting Liu An, he asked, "Are you alright?"


    "Ma-manor Lord, pain . . . argh . . . The pain is killing me!" Liu An''s initially alleviated symptoms had flared up once more. It hurt so much that he rolled off the bed onto the ground.


    It was clear that Wan Donghai''s actions failed to remove the poison from his body but instead stimulated the toxin inside him resulting in tormenting pain.


    "Why . . . Why is it like this?"


    Wan Donghai was utterly befuddled. Although the display just now did not seem very impressive, it was actually his limits. Who would have guessed that not only Liu An''s poison was not cured, it actually became even more intense.


    Liu An rolled on the floor in agonizing pain, yet nobody stepped forward to help him.


    "Yiii? Manor Lord Wan, looks like your Profound Phantom Finger and Detoxification Pill failed to have any effect. Instead, it worsened this Friend''s condition. Just take a look at that painful appearance; I can''t bear to stand it. Don''t tell me Manor Lord Wan has no other methods to ease his pain? The Drunken Star Manor is known as the number one in the capital!" Ye Yuan exclaimed questioningly.


    Wan Donghai could no longer keep up appearances. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he bellowed, "Stinky brat! What on earth did you make him eat? Want to frame our Drunken Star Manor? You are still not qualified!"


    Ye Yuan deliberately gave a shocked expression and said, "Why did you say that, Manor Lord Wan? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Are you telling me now that this friend is suffering like this, I have to be indifferent to it? Or is the Drunken Star Manor undeserving of its reputation, unable to even diagnose what this friend is poisoned with?


    "You!" Were it not for his last trace of reason, Wan Donghai would have stomped off instantly.


    Ye Yuan gave a look of pain while leaning down to say to Liu An, "This Brother, I''ve already tried my best. In the capital, if even Manor Lord Wan can''t save you, then there is nothing I can do. When you arrive at the Underworld, don''t blame me for it."


    Liu An was originally half dead already. But after hearing Ye Yuan''s words, it was as if he regained terminal lucidity; his initially dull, lifeless eyes gained a trace of brilliance.


    "Ma-Manor Lord! Sa-Save me! I helped you to se-sell . . ." Enduring the pain, Liu An forced out a few words between the gaps of his teeth.


    At this point, Liu An only had his instinct for survival stimulated by Ye Yuan, but the second half of his words were like lightning bolt during clear weather to Wan Donghai. Initially, Wan Donghai was filled with wrath towards Ye Yuan. But right now, it was as if he was drenched from head to toe in cold sweat.


    Without waiting for Liu An to finish speaking, Wan Donghai quickly leaned down and told Liu An, "Don''t worry. I will save you no matter what."


    Wan Donghai''s eyes were filled with sincerity, completely different from Ye Yuan''s phony sincerity. The feeling it gave Liu An were as if they were life and death comrades.


    At this moment, that sense of uneasiness stirred up by Ye Yuan got suppressed, and what replaced it was serenity.


    "Ma-Manor Lord, h-he . . . said this poison . . . is called Heart Inch Fissure."


    After saying this, Liu An ceased all movements just like a deflated ball.


    "Heart Inch Fissure . . . Heart Inch Fissure . . ." Wan Donghai muttered it over and over while his brows furrowed even harder.


    The more he repeated it, the more he felt like he had heard that name somewhere before.


    "Heart Inch Fissure? HEART INCH FISSURE?! It''s actually Heart Inch Fissure?! Th-This! How could a brat like him knows Heart Inch Fissure?" A trace of astonishment flashed across Wan Donghai''s eyes.


    Wan Donghai finally recalled where he had heard that name before. It was during his early years where his master once mentioned that name!


    Thinking back on it now, his master had even said that this sort of poison was abnormally tyrannical, practically without any cure. A Heart Inch Fissure Pill was not some high-tier pills. In fact, it was the opposite; it was only merely a high-grade Tier 1 Pill. Yet, his master, a Tier 4 Alchemy King, back then had said it was incurable. It was evident just how terrifying this poison was.


    How could Ye Yuan possibly refine such a terrifying poison? Unless it was Ye Hang''s work?


    Right now, Wan Donghai could not be bothered to think about it. After being stunned for a while, he knew that no matter what he did, Liu An was beyond saving.


    Since that was the case, he could only sacrifice Liu An!


    His own reputation might be important, but if the matter of spies among demonic beast hunters were to be exposed, the impact on the Drunken Star Manor would be even more significant. Liu An''s incomplete sentence just now made it clear that if Wan Donghai failed to save him, he would undoubtedly expose the ugly side of the Drunken Star Manor in front of all these people. When that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Choosing the lesser of two evils.


    Wan Donghai took a deep breath and sighed, "This poison is indeed remarkably overbearing. This Wan is incompetent. I only have one last move left."


    Finishing, he ordered people to hold up Liu An. Rolling his sleeves, the Profound Phantom Finger was executed once more. Only this time, the commotion was greater than before.


    Flashing around Liu An and engulfing him in afterimages, Wan Donghai caused a gale to blow so fiercely that the crowd almost could not keep their eyes open.


    As Ye Yuan looked at Wan Donghai giving it his all for this performance, a cold sneer appeared on his face. The Profound Phantom Finger might be a martial technique, but it could also be categorized as a technique under the Alchemy Dao. In Ye Yuan''s view, it was clumsy. But he had some understanding of this finger technique.


    This finger technique could save lives while also harming others. Furthermore, the way it harmed people was incredibly vicious. This finger technique was used on the acupuncture points in order to stimulate the body. But right now what Wan Donghai was executing was precisely the malignant version of the technique.


    However, Ye Yuan did not expose Wan Donghai''s intentions. Since he was willing to smash his own signboard, Ye Yuan was naturally amenable to assist him. Moreover, with Ye Yuan''s current strength, it was impossible to take down Wan Donghai. He was currently too weak.


    Indeed, after Wan Donghai''s finger technique ceased, Liu An had immediately stopped breathing and slowly slumped to the ground.


    "Manor Lord Wan is indeed remarkable! Displaying a set of finger technique and directly cured someone to death. Impressive! Impressive!" Ye Yuan exclaimed as he maintained the same smile as before.

 Chapter 12: Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian

    Chapter 12: Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At the Ye Manor.


    In a room, filled with medicinal fragrance and fog, located at an isolated corner of the manor.


    "Young Master, you were so impressive today at the Drunken Star Manor. That Manor Lord Wan who even Old Master couldn''t deal with was completely defeated by Young Master," Lu-er said while fanning with a cattail leaf fan.


    An herbal bath for Ye Yuan was prepared in an enormous wooden tub. It sat just on top of the fire that Lu-er was fanning with the cattail leaf fan.


    Today at the Drunken Star Manor, Wan Donghai treated Liu An to death, stunning everyone. The highly popular Drunken Star Manor had always boasted that it was the number one in the State of Qin. Yet today, an ignorant brat walked up to their door to slap their faces, slapping so hard that it reverberated. No matter how thick Wan Donghai''s skin was, he was somewhat unable to maintain his face any further.


    After Liu An''s death, Wan Donghai immediately decided to close shop for a day. Everyone was chased away to temporarily avoid immediate embarrassment.


    Everyone present knew their stuff. Even though they did not know what poison this Heart Inch Fissure was, they could guess that it was something Ye Yuan concocted. Everyone felt the world changed too quickly. A former rotten mud-like silkpants actually forced a Grandmaster of his era to his wit''s end. Many people knew that Ye Yuan was dying of poison just yesterday; could it be that the poisoning actually enlightened him?


    Of course, there were some who did not believe that it was instigated by Ye Yuan but instead by Ye Hang who had borrowed Ye Yuan''s hands to give the Drunken Star Manor a vicious blow. But as they thought about it, it did not make any sense. If Ye Hang had that ability, what was he doing all these years? The competition between the two families was not a matter of one or two years.


    Either way, the arguments bore no fruit. But the subject became the mealtime conversation topic of the common people within the capital. Ye Yuan who was originally already well-known became even more famous now.


    "Hahaha. This was just claiming back some interest. Although today''s event had a large impact on the Drunken Star Manor, it''s not fatal. That Wan Family''s father-son pair, sooner or later, I will make them pay the real price." Ye Yuan''s tone became somewhat cold upon mentioning them.


    Having inherited this body, Qing Yun Zi naturally had the responsibility to take revenge for his predecessor and help the Ye Family eliminate this competitor. Furthermore, Ye Yuan already witnessed how sinister and unscrupulous this father-son pair were; he had no favorable impression towards them at all.


    Only that right now Ye Yuan''s current strength was too weak. Apart from vexing Wan Donghai a little, he could not really do anything much to him. In the future when he had sufficient strength, the father-son pair naturally had to be eliminated.


    If it were up to someone else, this would practically be an impossible mission. But to Ye Yuan, Wan Donghai and his son were merely a stumbling block on his road for vengeance; removing it just required some time.


    "That''s right. That Wan Yuan is so hateful. In the past, he was always bullying Young Master. Young Master must work hard! I have faith in Young Master!" Lu-er always had that unconditional faith in Ye Yuan.


    "Hahaha. Young Master won''t disappoint you. Oh right, Lu-er, I can see that your aptitude is excellent. Why don''t you practice martial arts?"


    After being occupied for the entire day and finally able to lounge with Lu-er in the same room, he discovered that there was not the slightest essence energy within Lu-er''s body, to actually be an ordinary person. Yet Ye Yuan could see that Lu-er had an excellent aptitude; a hundred times better than that loser of a predecessor.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s question, Lu-er''s expression became a bit downcast. "Old Master said Lu-er has Nine Yin Absolute Meridian and cannot cultivate. Otherwise the higher the realm, the earlier I will die."


    "Nine Yin Absolute Meridian?" Ye Yuan repeated once, before grabbing Lu-er''s wrist to take her pulse.


    Having her wrist held by Ye Yuan made Lu-er''s heart pound, and her face immediately turned bright red. In her opinion, being unable to cultivate might be regretful, but as long as she can be together with the Young Master, that would be good enough.


    Ye Hang had long concluded her fate, so she did not hold any hope at all. Ever since experiencing that incident, the Young Master really changed so much, becoming more mature, being concerned about others, and taking care of others.


    Ye Yuan held Lu-er''s wrist; his brows initially locked tightly together, before slowly relaxing.


    "En. Old Master and Madam treat Lu-er just like their own daughter. If Lu-er could cultivate, they would have definitely long taught me." Lu-er was still that considerate girl, afraid that Ye Yuan would misunderstand Ye Hang because of this.


    Ye Yuan put down Lu-er''s hand and smiled. "My silly Lu-er, you''re overthinking. Of course, Father wouldn''t lie to you. But even he has times where he miscalculated. Lu-er, tell Young Master, do you want to learn martial arts?"


    "Of course!" Lu-er replied without thinking.


    "That''s good. From tomorrow onwards, you will learn martial arts together with me. I will impart to you a technique. With your talent, this tiny State of Qin can''t confine you," said Ye Yuan with an encouraging expression.


    "Young Master, is what you said true?" Upon hearing this, Lu-er was overjoyed. But without waiting for Ye Yuan''s reply, she quickly became dejected again. "Young Master, you don''t have to comfort me. Old Master is an Alchemy Grandmaster, yet even he said it was hopeless. How could I possibly learn martial arts? Although Lu-er really wants to, Lu-er doesn''t want to die yet. Lu-er still wishes to accompany Young Master and take care of Young Master."


    Feeling touched in his heart, Ye Yuan reached out and lifted Lu-er''s head and smiled. "Why would Young Master lie to you? Your body''s constitution is indeed special. However, it isn''t the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, but instead the extremely rare Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian. This sort of physique is not only able to cultivate, but even the cultivation speed would also be exceptionally fast. If large sects know about your physique, they would definitely fight to the point of bloodshed to snatch you over."


    Ye Hang''s knowledge naturally could not be compared to Ye Yuan''s. But it was also not that Ye Hang was wrong. In reality, Lu-er indeed possessed the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, but this Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian actually was a variant of the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. Furthermore, it was an extremely rare variant.


    The Nine Yin Absolute Meridian that Ye Yuan knew was completely different from what Ye Hang knew. Having a Nine Yin Absolute Meridian did not mean entirely rejecting all possibilities of cultivating, but instead, it meant this sort of constitution was absolutely unique. Cultivation techniques and resources were extremely scarce in the Lower Realms. With the addition of inadequate information within the Lower Realms, it meant that no one had ever stepped onto the path of cultivation with a Nine Yin Absolute Meridian.


    Without a matching cultivation technique, the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian was indeed a deadly constitution.


    Should such a physique appear in the Divine Realm, that person would definitely be fought over by major sects to join them. Coincidentally, a technique suitable for Lu-er to cultivate resides within Ye Yuan''s memories. It was the cultivation technique of the Divine Realm''s Spirit Snow Divine King. And this Spirit Snow Divine King had the exact same variant, the Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian physique.


    At this moment, Lu-er opened her eye wide in disbelief. "Young Master, was what you said is real? You are not lying to me?"


    "Of course not. The Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian is certainly extremely tough to cultivate with. But having a matching technique, the cultivation speed would instead surpass ordinary people. Later, I will impart to you a set of technique, the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul. With how intelligent Lu-er is, you will definitely be more amazing than Young Master in the future," Ye Yuan said gently.


    After listening to this, Lu-er gave a playful smile. "Hehehe. Lu-er isn''t looking to be more powerful than Young Master. As long as Lu-er can stay beside Young Master, that would be good enough. In the past, Young Master was always bullied by other people. That''s why Lu-er really wanted to learn martial arts to protect Young Master. However, I was afraid I would pass away after learning martial arts, that''s why I never learned any."


    Upon learning how Lu-er''s purpose of wanting to learn martial arts was actually for himself, Ye Yuan was truly at a loss for words. Ye Yuan told himself he must definitely become strong quickly. In his previous life, he could not protect the people closest to him. In this life now, he would absolutely not let his loved ones be harmed again.


    "My obedient Lu-er. Alright, the water is almost ready. You go out, Young Master wants to take an herbal bath," said Ye Yuan.


    Lu-er asked with a face full of doubt, "Young Master, just go ahead and take a bath. Lu-er still has to tend the fire here. In the past, it had always been Lu-er attending to Young Master''s bath. Why did you become shy about it today?"


    Sweating heavily in his heart, Ye Yuan was really not used to letting a young girl attending to him while taking a bath. But he also knew that if inconsistencies appeared now, Lu-er might start to suspect him.


    "Then . . . alright . . ." Ye Yuan was feeling helpless.


    Hearing this, Lu-er was overjoyed and went to help Ye Yuan undress.

 Chapter 13: A Father and Son Talk

    Chapter 13: A Father and Son Talk


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Entering the herbal bath, Ye Yuan who was feeling embarrassed tried to reorganized his feelings and then circulated essence energy to begin absorbing the medicinal efficacy of the water in order to purge the residual toxins left within his body.


    The medicinal herbs used for the herbal bath were all common Tier 1 and Tier 2 ingredients without any remarkable effects. But Ye Yuan was able to make good use of these lowly materials, extracting out the medicinal efficacy from these herbs to the utmost limit.


    To most people, the higher the level of the medicinal herbs, the more valuable and more significant the effects were. But in reality, that viewpoint was not worth a sh*t in Ye Yuan''s eyes. Regardless whether it was cultivation or alchemy, foundation skills were the most vital. The stronger your foundation was, the higher you would go in the future; likewise, vice versa.


    In his previous life, Qingyun Zi once spent over 10 years to bitterly study medicinal herbs and pills that were Tier 3 and below. Those years were not in vain, as his foundation skills in Alchemy Dao became terrifyingly extensive. For him to become the youngest Alchemy Emperor, that over 10 years period were absolutely critical.


    In the Divine Realm, virtually no one could surpass him in terms of understanding medicinal properties. That was also the reason why he was hailed as the one from the younger generation most likely to become an Alchemy God.


    Actually, even if Ye Yuan had the intention of using some high-tier ingredients, at this moment, he was powerless to do so because his current strength was too weak!


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would not have taken only a single Tier 1 pill to challenge the Drunken Star Manor; that was the limit he could refine. Although he reckoned Wan Donghai was not able to resolve the Heart Inch Fissure poison, it was somewhat risky after all. If Wan Donghai really had a way to cure the poison, then it would be as if Ye Yuan had lifted a stone to smash his own feet.


    In fact, Wan Donghai had actually heard of the Heart Inch Fissure poison before. Except that this sort of pill was too obscure, he had merely heard of it. Otherwise, the outcome of the incident would be hard to tell.


    Strength!


    Ye Yuan gave a deep sigh as he finished absorbing the medicinal efficacy of the herbal bath in the wooden tub. Right now he urgently needed to raise his strength. Without strength, revenge and whatnot were all empty talks. He would not even be able to protect his loved ones.


    With Ye Yuan''s current condition, there was no need to mention Wan Donghai; even if Wan Yuan had come, Ye Yuan would still not be his match.


    Ye Yuan believed that after today''s incident, Wan Donghai would definitely view him as a thorn in his eyes. He would want to eliminate Ye Yuan as soon as possible. Furthermore, with Wan Donghai''s temperament, he would not be resigned to letting the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion continue to suppress him, and he would consider all means to counterattack.


    At that time, if he did not have sufficient strength, today''s action would instead put greater pressure on his father.


    "Young Master, Old Master has already waited outside for quite some time."


    While Ye Yuan was engrossed in his imagination, Lu-er came in to report.


    "Why didn''t you say earlier that Father came? It''s just an herbal bath and not a closed-door life-and-death seclusion."


    If Ye Yuan guessed correctly, Father came to warn him to be on the lookout for Wan Donghai''s schemes. Ye Yuan was still very respectful towards this overprotective father.


    Even though it had only been two short days since he transmigrated, without a doubt, Ye Hang, Ren Hong Ling, and Lu-er already became Ye Yuan''s fetters.


    Lu-er pouted her mouth and said with resentment, "I wanted to come in and call for Young Master, but Old Master pulled me and didn''t allow me to enter. What could I have done then?"


    Sweating profusely, Ye Yuan quickly said, "Good Lu-er, Young Master was in the wrong. Young Master apologizes to you, don''t be angry alright?"


    Hearing that, Lu-er broke into a smile, "Lu-er isn''t angry. Lu-er knows Young Master loves and respects Old Master. I treat him just like my biological father and respect him deeply like you do, so why would I be angry?"


    Ye Yuan was relieved hearing her reply. "Hahaha. Then it''s alright. Go outside and tell Father to wait a moment, I will be out after wearing my clothes."


    Lu-er acknowledged his words and went out.


    . . . . . .


    Inside Ye Hang''s study room, the father-son pair sat down closely and started to talk.


    "Yuan-er, what you did today really vented my frustrations. I reckon Wan Donghai that old punk is probably thoroughly livid at the moment, right? Hahaha! It''s been so many years, and yet it''s the first time I''ve seen that old punk had to swallow such a grievance. How great!" Ye Hang laughed out loud.


    Clearly, Wan Donghai bullied him rather harshly these past few years with how Ye Hang was laughing so cheerfully. Although Ye Hang could stand it, he had never felt this frustration being vented out like today. Even though he was not the one who went up to smack Wan Donghai''s face, what was the difference between being smacked by his son and him?


    Seeing his father laughed merrily, Ye Yuan felt pleased. "Father, it was all thanks to what Master imparted to me in my dreams that I could make Wan Donghai that old punk suffered this grievance. I dare not claim any credit."


    Ye Hang waved his hands dismissing Ye Yuan''s words. "No need to be so polite with your father. I''m thrilled that you possess your abilities today. But I still have to remind you once again; Wan Donghai that old punk is very insidious. Having suffered such a loss today, he wouldn''t be able to take it lying down. Who knows if he will come up with some underhanded measures? I can still guarantee your safety at home, but once you go to the Dan Wu Academy, Father''s hands wouldn''t be able to stretch that far. Yuan-er, how about you don''t attend the Dan Wu Academy anymore, and just stay at home?"


    Ye Yuan sighed in his heart. No wonder his predecessor was a good-for-nothing youth. Ye Hang''s overprotectiveness of his child was too extreme. Ye Yuan had no intention of becoming a caged canary; the Dan Wu Academy was a place he had to go to.


    "Father, I have to return to the Dan Wu Academy. Even if I stay at home, it is impossible to never leave home. I can hide for a while, but I can''t hide for a lifetime. Furthermore, if I stay at home and never leave, this life would be wasted. Even if Master teaches me skills, without contending with rivals and getting affirmation, I will never become an expert. Don''t you agree?"


    In Ye Yuan''s eyes, Wan Donghai could not even be considered as an opponent. If he could not even make it pass Wan Donghai, this hurdle, how would he slaughter his way back to the Divine Realm? Only by attending the Dan Wu Academy and competing with other geniuses of his generation that Ye Yuan can grow up faster. Moreover, having a high cultivation realm did not mean combat prowess will also be high. In the cultivation world, there are too many examples of the weak defeating the strong; flowers in a greenhouse would never be fully mature.


    In his previous life, Qingyun Zi was a greenhouse flower. Although his cultivation realm was very high, his combat abilities were a complete mess; all because he experienced too few actual fights. In this life, being burdened with a blood feud, he naturally had to become ruthless with his own training.


    "This . . . Yuan-er does make sense. It is Father who was too protective. It''s just that you have to be careful outside there no matter what. If you encounter any problems, don''t be stubborn. Remember to come back and ask Father for assistance. Something like being poisoned to death, Father just doesn''t want to witness it for the second time."


    "Relax Father. Since I didn''t die in this disaster, in the future, no one will be able to bully me anymore." Ye Yuan unveiled a powerful self-confidence at this point. Ye Hang discovered that his son had really matured.


    "Good! My good son! Since when have the two of us feared anyone? Isn''t it just Wan Donghai? In the future, Father will definitely have him under these feet." Influenced by Ye Yuan, Ye Hang felt his confidence swelled as well.


    Ye Yuan laughed silently in his heart. He was well aware of his father''s standards. There might come a day where he could surpass Wan Donghai, but there would be no way he could trample him under his feet. Of course, that was under the circumstance that Ye Yuan did not appear.


    With the current Ye Yuan, time was all it takes for Ye Hang to trample Wan Donghai underfoot.


    Just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, Ye Hang stopped him. Asking with a curious face, " Oh right. What pill did you let that person eat today? To think it was so powerful. You are just at the First Level Essence Qi Realm. How did you manage to refine such a high-tier pill?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that Ye Hang was also an alchemy fanatic. Upon encountering any alchemy problems, he would become extremely studious. Evidently, this question had troubled him the entire day.


    In his opinion, a poison pill that could render Wan Donghai helpless definitely had to be Tier 3 and above. But Ye Yuan was clearly just at First Level Essence Qi Realm. It was impossible to refine a Tier 2 pill with this cultivation realm, not to mention Tier 3 and above.


    Even if Ye Hang pulled his hair out over this paradox, he still could not understand why. Now that he finished the heart-to-heart talk with his son, he could not bear it any longer and shamelessly asked.


    Towards his own father, Ye Yuan naturally did not hide anything. Beaming, he said, "Father, that pill is called Heart Inch Fissure. It''s not a high tier pill, but merely a Tier 1 pill. With my current standards, refining this pill is already at the limit."


    Ye Hang''s smile froze on his face. A Tier 1 pill? How is that possible?!


    If these words did not come out from his son''s mouth, Ye Hang would not believe it even if the person beat him to death.


    "Ti-tier 1 pill?" Ye Hang swallowed hard and asked disbelievingly, "How could a Tier 1 pill be this amazing?"


    Ye Yuan took out a brush and paper and wrote down the pill formula for Heart Inch Fissure; he also included the refining method as well as things to take note of and then passed it to Ye Hang.


    Ye Hang carefully received the pill formula, treating it just like a treasure.


    Ye Yuan knew he probably would not see his father for a few days . . .

 Chapter 14: Explosive Yuan Pill

    Chapter 14: Explosive Yuan Pill


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The next day, Ye Yuan went to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion again.


    Ye Yuan could distinctly feel a difference in the way the employees looked at him. After yesterday''s event, everybody now looked at this super silkpants with admiration.


    Having enjoyed these looks too often in his past life, Ye Yuan naturally would not mind it too much. Today, he only came to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to collect medicinal herbs. Right now, Ye Yuan desperately needed to raise his strength, and the fastest way to increase his strength was undoubtedly by taking pills as a stimulant.


    Putting aside the ability of an Alchemy Emperor and not utilizing it, would that not make Ye Yuan a fool?


    There were countless pill formulas inside Ye Yuan''s mind, but the medicinal pills he could refine at the moment were too few. He was only able to refine Tier 1 medicinal pills, and that was only by using his powerful soul as support. Otherwise, with his First Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation, he would not even be able to refine out medicinal dregs.


    Using an entire night to search for Tier 1 medicinal pills in his memories, Ye Yuan still felt that among all the pills, a type of high-grade Tier 1 pill called Explosive Yuan Pill was the most suitable for him.


    Explosive Yuan Pill, as the name suggested, was a medicinal pill that explosively increased essence energy.


    Tier 1 pills which could increase essence energy to aid cultivation and currently was circulating in the market was the Essence Qi Pill. It was suitable for Essence Qi Realm martial artists. However, ordinary martial artists could not even consume medicinal pills of such quality; instead, increasing their strength by going through great pains to bitterly cultivate essence energy by themselves.


    A single Essence Qi Pill could save a martial artist several months of intense cultivation. If one could use Essence Qi Pill to cultivate, then reaching the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was only a matter of time. However, people who could expend Essence Qi Pills in such a manner were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns. Only the Imperial Family and the descendants of major noble families could afford to do so.


    Ye Yuan naturally could afford it. But to him, Essence Qi Pill was too weak, completely unable to achieve the effect he desired.


    Although an Essence Qi Pill was good, the effects would be severely reduced from overconsumption. His predecessor actually ate a lot of Essence Qi Pills, but he did not refine the medicinal effects of the Essence Qi Pills entirely at all, leading to a considerable amount of essence energy dissipated from his body. As a result, Essence Qi Pill already did not have much of an effect on Ye Yuan.


    But the Explosive Yuan Pill was an upgraded version of the Essence Qi Pill, with several times the medicinal effects of the latter. It was naturally the most appropriate choice for Ye Yuan to use in order to raise his strength. Of course, Ye Yuan had even more amazing pill formulas. It was just those pill formulas were either too high-tier or their medicinal effects were too powerful, making it unsuitable for the current Ye Yuan. Refining those pills after Ye Yuan''s strength improved would only be a matter of course.


    "Young Master, are you also here today to get medicines?"


    The shopkeeper saw Ye Yuan walking in and immediately greeted him with a smile as if he were a different person than he was yesterday.


    Ye Yuan did not point it out but simply replied with a smile, "Yes. These are the medicinal herbs I require. Help me prepare three sets of each medicinal herb."


    Ye Yuan handed the shopkeeper a prescription list as he spoke. Written on it were the names of medicinal herbs that the Explosive Yuan Pill requires. Even though Explosive Yuan Pill was much more precious than Essence Qi Pill, the herbs used were only Tier 1 medicinal herbs and were available for purchase at any ordinary shop. As the largest medicinal herb business within the capital, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion naturally had the goods.


    The shopkeeper swept a look over Ye Yuan''s prescription and started to frown. Ye Yuan asked curiously, "Why? Anything wrong?"


    "Young Master, the medicinal herbs listed on this prescription, everything is fine, except for this Six Leaf Grass . . ."


    The shopkeeper revealed a difficult expression.


    Upon hearing this, Ye Yuan was even more surprised. "According to what I know, even though this Six Leaf Grass is a little rare, it is still a commonly seen medicinal herb. It can''t be that our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is unable to produce three portions of it?"


    The shopkeeper gave a bitter laugh and said, "Young Master, of course, we have Six Leaf Grass. But we normally wouldn''t stock up too much of such medicinal herbs, with precisely just three portions all inside the storeroom. Unfortunately, all three portions of Six Leaf Grass were reserved by someone yesterday, with the deposit already paid."


    At this point, the shopkeeper snuck a look to assess Ye Yuan, terrified that the latter would fly into a rage. This little ancestor was not someone that can be easily dealt with. If he were dissatisfied, he might just raise such a fearful din which can cause fowls and dogs having no peace. Ye Yuan''s performance yesterday was very eye-catching; rivers and mountains might change, but it was hard to alter a man''s nature. God knows if he might lose his temper because of this.


    Seeing Ye Yuan remained unperturbed, the shopkeeper finally relaxed, thinking to himself could this little ancestor really have changed his personality?


    "Who reserved the medicine?"


    "A youth about the same age as Young Master. Furthermore, he needed it very urgently," the shopkeeper replied with trepidation.


    Nodding his head, Ye Yuan said, "What time did he say he will come to collect the medicine? I wish to have a chat with him."


    Hearing this, the shopkeeper jumped in fright thinking that Ye Yuan wanted to force people to cancel the reservation. Once something like this was done, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Seeing through his concerns, Ye Yuan assured him and said, "Relax, I won''t mess around."


    The shopkeeper right now could not tell if this little ancestor really changed his personality or not, but seeing that Ye Yuan had no intention of leaving, it looks like he was hell-bent on getting those three stalks of Six Leaf Grass.


    "He said he will come to collect it early in the morning. With how anxious he was, most likely he''s about to arrive?" Feeling helpless, the shopkeeper could only tell the truth.


    "Alright. Then I will wait for him here." Ye Yuan found a place to sit down quietly, closing his eyes to meditate while ignoring the perturbed shopkeeper.


    The shopkeeper gave a sigh and just let Ye Yuan be, praying that this little ancestor would not cause any trouble. It was not that he was worried about Ye Yuan, but it was just that in the past Ye Yuan had left way too strong of an impression on everyone.


    After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Ye Yuan who had his eyes closed suddenly heard an urgent-sounding voice.


    "Shopkeeper, I''m here to collect the Six Leaf Grass I reserved yesterday."


    "This . . ." The shopkeeper once again revealed a difficult expression.


    The person was a youth around the age of 15 or 16 years old. Upon seeing the shopkeeper''s expressions, he exclaimed anxiously, "Shopkeeper, we agreed on it yesterday, and you even took the deposit. You can''t go back on your words!"


    "We naturally wouldn''t go back on our words after collecting a deposit. It''s just that I wanted to ask this brother, what''s your purpose for buying this Six Leaf Grass?"


    The one who spoke was naturally Ye Yuan.


    Turning his head around only to see a youth around the same age as him, dressed in silk clothing, he naturally did not have a good reaction. "What does it have to do with you?"


    The shopkeeper jumped in fright. To dare to provoke this little ancestor, is this youth tired of living? Just as he was about to speak up, he was stopped by the expression in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Beaming, Ye Yuan said, "Of course it''s none of my business. I was just curious why did you buy medicinal herbs instead of a finished product. Could it be that you wanted to refine them yourself? There are three types of Tier 1 pills which require the Six Leaf Grass to refine, so let me make a guess. The first one is the Heavenly Spiritual Pill, a pill meant for impacting through the Spirit Condensation Realm. You are only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, so it''s most likely not this sort of pill. The second type is the Pure Heart Pill, a pill used to maintain clarity of the mind and to chase away Heart Demons. It is suitable for use when assaulting bottlenecks. Looking at how you''re not at a bottleneck, it''s most likely not this pill. There''s still one more type called the Great Returning Pill, a sacred Tier 1 healing medicine. Looking at how anxious you are, could it be that a loved one was badly injured, and this person requires this particular pill to save his life?"


    The youth''s jaw dropped, looking at Ye Yuan with shock. He was shocked by Ye Yuan''s profound medicinal knowledge but even more astonished by Ye Yuan''s torch-like eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s analysis was as if he saw it with his own eyes, and the truth was precisely what Ye Yuan had said.

 Chapter 15: Discerning Medicine

    Chapter 15: Discerning Medicine


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The youth was called Tang Yu and was at the same Dan Wu Academy as Ye Yuan. But the difference was that Ye Yuan got in through connections, while Tang Yu relied on his own abilities to get into the Dan Wu Academy.


    In reality, the majority of the geniuses at the Dan Wu Academy were from noble families. Only a very small number of these geniuses came from ordinary backgrounds. Noble families had the advantage in terms of resources which the masses did not; a disparity that no amount of hard work could change. Geniuses with ordinary backgrounds already lost from the starting line.


    Techniques, medicinal pills, and money. The nobility possessed the advantages that commoners could never attain even if they worked hard their entire lives. That was the advantage accumulated after generations.


    Tang Yu being able to enter the Dan Wu Academy as a commoner said a lot by itself. Being at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at his age was not considered outstanding, but he indeed was not mediocre.


    From the Third Level to the Fourth Level, there was quite a hurdle. Being able to cross that hurdle without depending on piles of resources showed that Tang Yu was very talented in the Martial Path.


    Naturally, there was no lack of personal hard work on Tang Yu''s part to have the strength he possessed today, as well as having entered the Dan Wu Academy. However, his father''s support was not to be overlooked.


    Tang Yu''s father was called Tang Zonghuai, an experienced demonic beast hunter. These few years, Tang Zonghuai braved untold dangers in the Endless Forest. All for the sake of a better future for his son.


    But eventually, a person would encounter ghosts if he walked around too often at night. This time around, Tang Zonghuai encountered a mighty demonic beast in the Endless Forest. Despite having narrowly escaped death, he suffered grievous injuries.


    Tang Yu was a sensible child. He saw with his own eyes the countless injuries that his father suffered all these years. Hence, as he pursued Martial Dao, he also aspired to become an alchemist all so he could help to treat his father''s injuries whenever necessary. If it was not for the time wasted on the Alchemy Path, it was possible Tang Yu''s accomplishments would be far beyond what it was today.


    However, being an alchemist was a profession which burned a lot of money; something that Tang Yu frankly could not support. Before entering the Dan Wu Academy, he had spent a considerable amount of time to understand theoretical knowledge, but his practical experience was nearly zero. Only after entering the Dan Wu Academy did he really have the chance to practice refining pills.


    Even so, what he learned was very shallow.


    In order to support Tang Yu to learn martial arts these past few years, Tang Zonghuai already depleted the household''s savings. This meant that Tang Yu could no longer afford the cost of a completed Tier 1 medicinal pill anymore. But Tang Yu could not just watch his father die in front of him like this, so he decided to take the final plunge and attempt to refine a Great Returning Pill.


    Tang Yu had never spoken to outsiders about his family''s matters before, yet he spilled out everything in front of Ye Yuan. Furthermore, this youth in front of him looked to be around the same age as him, yet his accomplishments in the Alchemy Path were way above his. If this person was willing to help him refine the Great Returning Pill . . .


    Thinking up to this point, Tang Yu put aside his initially indifferent attitude, cupped his hands toward Ye Yuan, and he said sincerely, "This Brother, I was being apprehensive. If I''d offended you just now with my words, I apologize for that."


    Ye Yuan knew his words took effect, so he smiled and waved his hands. "Since it''s for saving a life, you don''t have to be courteous, Brother."


    Briefly hesitating, Tang Yu asked, "Judging from the way you talked, could it be that you also have an interest in this Six Leaf Grass?"


    Tang Yu was an intelligent man. From the words just now, he already guessed that Ye Yuan seemed to have an interest on this Six Leaf Grass which was why his tone initially was rude.


    Ye Yuan did not hide this and said with a smile, "That''s right. I have great use for these three stalks of Six Leaf Grass. But I also know that you, Brother, need it to save someone. I don''t know if you trust me enough to bring me to see the patient, but perhaps I could be of some assistance?"


    If Ye Yuan said this right away after they met, Tang Yu would naturally have snorted in derision. However, Ye Yuan''s words just now truly stunned him, letting him know their differences in skill. He could not help but to reconsider it.


    In reality, Tang Yu did not have much assurance about Tang Zonghuai''s injuries and was even less sure about refining the Great Returning Pill. Hene, the reason why he bought all three stalks of Six Leaf Grass in preparation for failure.


    Father''s injuries cannot be delayed any longer. Tang Yu hesitated for a moment and then made a firm decision. Cupping his hands toward Ye Yuan, he said, "Then I will have to trouble you. How do I address you, Brother?"


    "My humble surname, Ye, with a single character given name, Yuan," Ye Yuan answered directly without hiding anything.


    "Ye Yuan?" Tang Yu ruminated on this name, thinking it was somewhat familiar and wondering where he had heard it before.


    When the shopkeeper standing by the side heard how the young master talked to the youth, he could not help but developed a better impression of Ye Yuan. However, when Ye Yuan reported his name, the shopkeeper shouted in his mind, '' Not good! ''


    The name Ye Yuan was too thunderous within the capital.


    As expected, Tang Yu thought for a moment before connecting it to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, and he came to a sudden realization where he heard that name before.


    "You . . . You were at the last place in the ranking at the Dan Wu Academy, the one who was always first at the bottom in every subject? That super silkpants Ye Yuan?" Tang Yu blurted out.


    Ye Yuan secretly sighed. He did not know if his predecessor lived a successful life or a failed one; to have made such a name for himself.


    "That''s right. I''m that Ye Yuan. But you shouldn''t reject me in such a hurry first. If I''m guessing correctly, you have no confidence in refining the Great Returning Pill yourself. Am I right?


    "That . . ." Ye Yuan''s words sent a chill down Tang Yu''s spine.


    "How about this? Bring me over to have a look first. If I can''t resolve the issue, I will let my father personally take action and help you to refine a Great Returning Pill. How about that?" Ye Yuan offered, striking the iron while it was hot.


    The instant Ye Yuan brought up his father, Tang Yu''s eyes lit up immediately. If Ye Hang would really take action personally, then his father''s injuries would definitely be under control.


    "Is this true?"


    "Of course, it''s true. If you don''t believe me, we can write a contract."


    Tang Yu felt that it was not very nice to be this untrusting of others, but with his father''s life at stake, he honestly could not care that much any longer. Furthermore, with Ye Yuan''s distinguished reputation, he really did not dare take the risk. If his father could be saved, then he would apologize to Young Master Ye then.


    Having made his decision, Tang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Then I will have to trouble Young Master Ye."


    Waving his hands, Ye Yuan said lightly, "You''re welcome. Shopkeeper, help me draft a contract."


    The shopkeeper naturally did not dare to delay; he quickly took a brush and a paper to draft out the contract. Only when Ye Yuan signed his name on it did Tang Yu finally relaxed.


    Looking at the back view of the two who were already far away, the shopkeeper felt what happened was somewhat unreal. He knew better than anyone that in the past, Ye Yuan would definitely not be this easy to talk to; unless he really did mature after surviving a calamity.


    . . . . . .


    Every inch of land in the capital was like an inch of gold. Even though demonic beast hunters generally had much higher income than the average person, Tang Zonghuai still could not afford an excessively large house; let alone supporting his son to practice martial arts.


    This was a very ordinary house for commoners which looked gloomy inside. The moment Ye Yuan stepped inside the house, a wave of medicinal smell wafted out.


    "Tranquil Heart Lotus, Red Pine Nuts, Golden Flower Fruit . . . All of these medicinal herbs are meant for entry-level medicinal pills. It looks like Brother Tang is still practicing refining Tier 1 pills. It''s just that this Great Returning Pill is a high-grade Tier 1. With Brother Tang''s current standards, I''m afraid even if you used all three stalks of Six Leaf Grass, you wouldn''t be able to refine it, right?" Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit courteous with his words; drawing blood with a single prick, he exposed Tang Yu''s standards.


    Tang Yu could not even imagine how great Ye Yuan''s skill was. Relying on his nose and sniffing just once, Ye Yuan managed to completely determine Tang Yu''s ability. Although they were around the same age, in front of Ye Yuan, Tang Yu felt as if he was just like a child stumbling while learning how to walk.


    Ye Yuan also intentionally revealed some abilities so that Tang Yu would not look down on him. He did not have any choice since his predecessor was such a piece of work. He had no alternative but to show off a little.


    Being talked to in such a way by Ye Yuan did not anger Tang Yu, but instead, it startled him. They just stepped into the entrance, but the medicinal herbs were placed deep within the house. Ye Yuan could not possibly see them, yet he could rely purely on his nose to discern the medicinal herbs without missing a single one. What kind of comprehension in Alchemy Dao was needed to do that? Most likely even the instructors in the academy did not have such abilities . . .

 Chapter 16: Provoking with Words

    Chapter 16: Provoking with Words


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "To think Brother Ye is so well-read, to have such a level of attainment towards the alchemy path. Tang Yu carelessly believed the rumors and as a result, affronted Brother Ye. I am ashamed." With just Ye Yuan''s words, Tang Yu realized this person definitely had an undeserved reputation, and he quickly apologized.


    Ye Yuan silently praised him. This Tang Yu came from a poor background, yet he was frank and forthright; a friend worth making.


    On the way here, Tang Yu recounted about his household. Only then did Ye Yuan know this Tang Yu was actually a student from the Dan Wu Academy. No wonder Tang Yu knew he was at the last place in the ranking.


    With a smile, Ye Yuan said, "No need for that, Brother Tang. My previous reputation was indeed horrendous, so Brother Tang can''t be blamed. As for my attainments in the Alchemy Path, it isn''t really that high. It''s just that when I was young, my father forced me to learn some of these medicinal herbs, so I ended up recognizing a few of them."


    At this point, Tang Yu no longer dared to underestimate Ye Yuan. He quickly said, "Brother Ye is too humble. Please, come in."


    As Tang Yu led Ye Yuan into the house, a series of faint and weak coughing sound came from someone lying on a bed. Needless to say, the person was Tang Yu''s father, Tang Zonghuai.


    "Yu-er . . . cough . . . Are you . . . cough. . . back?" Tang Zonghuai''s condition did not seem to be very optimistic; coughing so severely just by saying something, and even struggling just to sit up straight.


    Tang Yu looked at this scene and quickly went up to support Tang Zonghuai. "Father, I already told you not to move about."


    "Hahaha . . . cough . . . This time around . . . cough . . . Father probably isn''t going to make it. In the . . . In the future, you have to . . . cough . . . take good care of yourself." Clearly, Tang Zonghuai already harbored the intention to die.


    Tang Yu''s tears immediately spilled out, and he said with a choking voice, "Father, don''t speak anymore. I . . . I will definitely cure you! I already brought back the Six Leaf Grass. I will go and refine the Great Returning Pill right away."


    Tang Yu was about to get up when he was grabbed by Tang Zonghuai. "No . . . No need . . . cough . . . It is useless."


    It was not that the Great Returning Pill was actually useless, but rather, Tang Zonghuai knew that it was not possible for his son to refine the Great Returning Pill. Instead of wasting the medicinal herbs, he might as well leave it for his son.


    "Cough cough . . . Yu-er, to . . . cough . . . to think there''s a guest. Why . . . Why didn''t you invite him in to have a seat?" Only now did Tang Zonghuai notice someone else was standing at the entrance of the room.


    Upon mentioning Ye Yuan, Tang Yu immediately perked up and turned to Ye Yuan. "Brother Ye, I beg of you. Please save my father! As long as you can cure him, I would be willing to slog like a horse for you throughout my lifetime."


    Even though Tang Yu''s background was not that good, it was clear that he was a person with an air of pride. To be able to say such words showed how deep the relationship between the father and son pair was.


    Judging others by oneself, even the most delicate string lying within the deepest parts of Ye Yuan''s heart was strummed.


    "You and I can be considered to have hit it off as brothers. Why did you have to say something like toiling for me akin to a horse? Quickly, let Uncle lie down, I will do a diagnosis." Tang Yu made space for Ye Yuan who did not bother with courteousness and sat directly on the bed.


    Right when Ye Yuan was about to grab Tang Zonghuai''s wrists, who knew the latter would pull away. "No need for it . . . This Little Brother . . . Thank you."


    "Father!" Seeing his father like this immediately made Tang Yu anxious.


    Ye Yuan knew that Tang Zonghuai wanted to avoid causing trouble for his son. Hence, he was bent on dying. Of course, a part of the reason was that Ye Yuan was too young; he did not believe Ye Yuan can do anything.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry. Signaling with his hands to stop Tang Yu, he asked, "Uncle, if I didn''t guess it wrong, you were injured by a Giant Wind Rhinoceros right?


    Hearing that, Tang Yu instantly became agitated. "What a great judgment, Brother Ye, to have guessed it at a glance."


    Tang Zonghuai remained unmoved. Coughing several times, he said disjointedly, "It''s . . . Yu-er who . . . told you right? Don''t . . . bother."


    "Father, I really did not tell Brother Ye. He figured it out on his own." Looking at how his father was bent on dying, Tang Yu''s heart was torn with anxiety.


    Looking at this situation, Ye Yuan started frowning. To treat a person, firstly, he had to address the patient''s heart. Tang Zonghuai himself did not want to live anymore. Even if he let Tang Zonghuai ate a miraculous panacea, it might not be able to save him.


    With Ye Yuan''s eyesight, he could indeed see that Tang Zonghuai was heavily injured, and most likely he would not outlive the night to see the next day. If things continued delaying like this, then even if he became an Alchemy Emperor once more, he would not be able to save Tang Zonghuai. Even his current condition was not something that a Great Returning Pill could treat.


    Ye Yuan decided to give a dose of fierce medicine. "Forget it, Brother Tang. What''s the point of saving such a heartless person? Since he wants to die, then let him die."


    Tang Yu could not catch on of Ye Yuan''s real intention. But seeing Ye Yuan demeaned his father like that, he suddenly was in a rage. "Ye Yuan, what are you saying? My father got injured all because for my sake. How can you called him a heartless person?"


    "Cough . . . Such an immature . . . goading technique . . . is useless." Tang Yu might not be able to realize it, but how could an experienced old man like Tang Zonghuai not tell.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not think that it would succeed so easily. With a cold smile, he then said, "Is that so? Then just treat it as a goading technique. In the future when Brother Tang dies on the streets and goes to the Underworld to blame you, let''s see how you respond then."


    A ripple finally appeared in Tang Zonghuai''s placid emotions. Turning around, he said, "What do you mean by that?"


    "Didn''t you said it''s a goading technique? Why bother asking so much then? I was taking into account of Brother Tang''s filial piety, that''s why I agreed to save you. But to think that his filial piety wasn''t appreciated at all. It''s fine to not save you then. Farewell." After saying this, Ye Yuan then just turned around and walked away.


    "Hold on!" Tang Zonghuai and Tang Yu called out in unison.


    "Is there anything else, Uncle?" Ye Yuan ignored Tang Yu and asked Tang Zonghuai coldly.


    "I would like to know . . . what did Little Brother . . . meant by . . . what you said just now." Saying how Tang Yu would die on the streets really triggered him.


    "You are just someone who''s about to die, what''s the point of knowing so much? To not even care about your own son''s life and death, only caring about your own death; if you aren''t heartless, then what are you?" Ye Yuan smiled coldly.


    "As . . . As long as . . . this Little Brother clarifies things . . . I . . . I''m willing to be treated." Seemingly speaking too much, Tang Zonghuai''s coughing became even more intense.


    Yet Ye Yuan maintained that look of disdain. Smiling coldly, he said, "Do you think that after Tang Yu enters the Dan Wu Academy, his future would be boundless?"


    "Isn''t . . . isn''t that the case?" Tang Zonghuai asked doubtfully.


    "Of course not! The Dan Wu Academy is not the holy land you imagined; on the contrary, it''s an abnormally cruel place. Of course, I believe Brother Tang has never mentioned this to you before, am I right?" Ye Yuan questioned him while looking towards Tang Yu.


    Tang Yu revealed an embarrassed expression, yet he still nodded his head, which was considered tacitly agreeing. Tang Zonghuai was quite familiar with his own son, so he naturally knew that he was not lying; his heart could not help but tighten.


    Ye Yuan continued saying, "The Dan Wu Academy is indeed a place where geniuses congregate, but it''s also where the competition is the most intense; possibly it is even crueler than the outside world! The birth of a genius often requires stepping on the bones of other geniuses. Although Brother Tang''s talent isn''t bad, it isn''t exceedingly good. Furthermore, he is just a commoner. Without the support of massive resources, he is destined to be the stepping stone for other people. In the future when he''s eliminated, even if he survived, he can at most make a living by becoming a demonic beast hunter. There are no small numbers of people like that within the Dan Wu Academy. How many demonic beast hunters do you think could possibly lead a safe and secure life?"


    As a demonic beast hunter himself, Tang Zonghuai naturally understood the circumstances of demonic beast hunters. Thinking of how his own son would possibly follow in his footsteps, Tang Zonghuai felt like even if he died, he would not have died peacefully.


    "Li-Little Brother, just now . . . cough . . . was my fault. Can I trouble . . . you to treat my injuries? I . . . I''m willing to . . . pay any price." Initially, Tang Zonghuai was not willing to cause any trouble for his son. However, after discovering that his son might get into even more trouble after he passed away, this meant that no matter what, he cannot die.

 Chapter 17: Trust and Choice

    Chapter 17: Trust and Choice


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Brother Ye, how are my father''s injuries?" Tang Yu asked uneasily.


    Tang Yu was an amateur who did not have much confidence in his diagnosis. Now that Ye Yuan displayed a standard in the alchemy path that was way above his, he naturally entrusted all of his hopes on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows, making Tang Yu''s heart sink fiercely at once.


    "A Giant Wind Rhinoceros is abnormally strong and extremely fast. Uncle is already considered lucky to have escaped alive from it. His injuries are severe. A lobe of his lung is already in tatters, and his heart is also leaning towards failure; his life is in danger at any moment." Ye Yuan''s expression was somber.


    Tang Yu''s heart gradually hit rock bottom along with Ye Yuan''s words. Instead, it was Tang Zonghuai whose face had the serenity of someone who saw past life and death. He was obviously aware of how severe his injuries were, which was why he was so decisive just now. Hearing Ye Yuan''s diagnosis only confirmed his speculations.


    "Brother Ye, don''t tell me . . ." Tang Yu did not dare to complete his sentence. Ye Yuan could feel the despair in his heart just from these few words.


    However, Ye Yuan did not answer Tang Yu''s question. Instead, he locked his brows together, as if he was pondering on a problem.


    For some time, the house was eerily silent. Tang Yu could not tolerate the torture anymore. Plucking up his courage, he asked Ye Yuan, "Brother Ye, I know it''s a little presumptuous, but can you request . . . your father to take action?"


    Lifting his head up to look at Tang Yu, Ye Yuan looked calm, but he remained silent.


    Tang Yu felt a little self-conscious by Ye Yuan''s stare and said awkwardly, "Sorry Brother Ye. It''s not that I am looking down on you, but . . ."


    "I know what you meant by that. Regardless whether you believe it or not, it''s useless, even if my father came. Not only that, even if it''s Wan Donghai or even Wu Daofeng who came, it wouldn''t help," Ye Yuan said firmly.


    Wu Daofeng whom Ye Yuan had named was the Chairman of the State of Qin''s Alchemists Association. In the entire State of Qin, the one with the highest accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao was neither Wan Donghai nor Ye Hang, much less the Imperial Uncle from the Imperial Family; it was this Lord Chairman Wu Daofeng. Now that Ye Yuan said even he would not do, it was basically the same as sentencing Tang Zonghuai to death.


    Except these words had a hint of quibble in Tang Yu''s ears. If it were regarding other matters, he naturally would not argue about it. But right now, Ye Yuan was sentencing his father to death right in front of him. How could he not have doubts? Who was Ye Yuan anyway? Merely a silkpants.


    "Brother Ye, you . . ."


    "Yu-er, let Mister Ye . . . finish his words." Tang Zonghuai interrupted Tang Yu halfway.


    Tang Yu was a little stunned. Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I just said that they won''t do. But this doesn''t mean that Uncle''s situation is hopeless."


    Tang Yu was elated after hearing this. Grabbing Ye Yuan, he said, "Does Brother Ye has a plan?"


    "The plan actually lies with you, Brother Tang."


    "Me?" Tang Yu was befuddled by Ye Yuan''s words. In reality, Ye Yuan did not know how to initiate his request; which was why he took a very roundabout way.


    Nodding his head, Ye Yuan said, "Brother Tang is also aware that my past reputation isn''t that great. I wonder if Brother Tang can trust me."


    At this moment, Tang Yu came to a realization. As a smart man, if he still could not understand Ye Yuan''s intention hidden in his words, then he would be a fool.


    "Does Brother Ye mean . . . the Six Leaf Grass?" Tang Yu asked hesitatingly.


    "That''s right." Ye Yuan did not deny it and directly acknowledged this.


    In reality, there were differences in the way the Divine Realm and the Lower Realms ranked their medicines. Although a Tier 1 pill in the Divine Realm was also categorized into levels of high, middle, and low, the so-called high-level pills that the State Of Qin had to offer were merely low-level pills when placed in the Divine Realm. The variety and quality of the pill formulas in the Divine Realm were not something which a Lower Realm''s mortal country could compare to.


    Logically speaking, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to refine a high-level Tier 1 pill with his strength. His essence energy could not even support the refinement of a high-level Tier 1 pill. The only reason why he could refine it was that he used to be an Alchemy Emperor. He was only able to refine medicines that surpassed his strength with his pitiful amount of essence energy by meticulously controlling the distribution of essence energy to a terrifying degree.


    Yet these so-called high-level Tier 1 Pills were merely some unwanted low-level pills in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    However, high-level Tier 1 pills from the Lower Realms were no longer sufficient to treat Tang Zonghuai''s injuries; middle-level Tier 1 pills from the Divine Realm were necessary. But Ye Yuan''s current strength was way too low at the moment, making it impossible to refine pills of such a grade.


    Hence, he was giving Tang Yu an option. If Tang Yu chose not to believe in him, then his fate with Tang Yu would end here; there would be nothing he could do for Tang Zonghuai''s injuries.


    "H-how can I do that? What if . . . What if . . ." Tang Yu became quite flustered.


    Subconsciously, Tang Yu felt that Ye Yuan was trustworthy. However, when facing the grim reality, Tang Yu really did not know what he should do. His idea was that if Ye Yuan really could not save his father, then he had the Great Returning Pill as his last hope.


    "Brother Ye, it''s not that I don''t believe you, it''s just . . . just . . ." Tang Yu did not know how to word it.


    "Yu-er, give it to him," at that moment, the silent Tang Zonghuai said with a weak voice.


    Turning over and meeting his father''s gaze, Tang Yu and his father exchanged a great deal of information from each other''s eyes. Finally, gritting his teeth tightly, Tang Yu passed the box containing the Six Leaf Grass over to Ye Yuan and said, "Brother Ye, please."


    Ye Yuan did not decline and received the box calmly. He then said, "Give me a day. I will be here promptly at this time tomorrow. However, Uncle''s injuries are not very stable at the moment. If I don''t deal with it, it would be hard to endure until tomorrow. Let me carry out a set of needle technique on him to stabilize his condition to prevent it from worsening."


    Tang Yu made a welcoming gesture and said, "I will have to trouble Brother Ye then."


    Ye Yuan naturally did not carry golden needles on him, so he returned to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to retrieve the needles.


    After Ye Yuan left, Tang Yu asked his father uneasily, "Father, I know that Brother Ye is a man of genuine skill and knowledge, but his previous reputation is really dreadful. I still feel that this is a gamble."


    After a bout of violent coughing, Tang Zonghuai gave a strained smile and said, "How can I . . . not understand my own injuries? What . . . Brother Ye said . . . was right. Even if . . . Wu Daofeng came . . . it would be futile. Even if . . . it was a gamble, there is . . . nothing that . . . we can''t afford to lose."


    "Father, is it truly so serious?" Clearly, Tang Yu never thought that his father''s injuries had already worsened to such an extent.


    Tang Zonghuai simply shook his head and said, "That boy . . . does not belong in a shallow pond. Yu-er . . . no matter . . . the result, in the future . . . get closer . . . to him."


    Tang Yu did not expect his father to have such a high evaluation of Ye Yuan. However, his own bias toward Ye Yuan had been cast beyond the ninth layer of clouds ever since stepping into this house. Nodding his head, Tang Yu said, "Father, don''t worry. I, your son, am not an ungrateful person. As long as Brother Ye treats Father with all his might, this life of mine can be considered sold to him."

    Chapter 18: Increasing Strength

    Watching Ye Yuan''s acupuncture skill and movement flowing naturally like water, Tang Yu became even more confident. At this moment, he discovered that Ye Yuan was utterly not worthless like the rumors suggested.


    "Father, how are you? Do you feel better?" after the acupuncture session was over, Tang Yu asked anxiously.


    Presently, Tang Zonghuai''s face color was a lot rosier, and his coughing was not as violent as before. "Mister Ye is indeed skillful. Right now I feel that my entire body is a lot more relaxed."


    Even though he was still out of breath when talking, it was much better compared to previously.


    This needle technique of Ye Yuan naturally was not something ordinary, but a pinnacle needle technique which was self-created. Ye Yuan named it the 72 Paths Great Cycle Acupuncture. This set of needle technique once stirred up the Divine Realm, and it possessed unfathomable capabilities.


    Of course, with his current realm, he simply could not unleash the power of this needle technique. It could only control Tang Zonghuai''s condition a little right now.


    "This acupuncture can only alleviate the symptoms, but it cannot treat the root of the problem. Tomorrow, I will send the medicinal pill over. There''s no time to waste. I will return first." Finishing his words, Ye Yuan immediately bade farewell and left.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan went to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to retrieve the medicinal herbs for refining the Exploding Yuan Pill and directly entered the pill refinement room together with the three stalks of Six Leaf Grass.


    Exploding Yuan Pill was only a low-level Tier 1 medicinal pill in the Divine realm, perfect for the current Ye Yuan to refine. He even had better Tier 1 medicinal pills for increasing strength, but currently, he was unable to refine them. Once his strength increased, he would naturally be able to refine higher level medicinal pills of the same tier.


    To Ye Yuan, the refinement method for the Exploding Yuan Pill was very simple. After six hours, Ye Yuan brought a few medicine bottles with him out of the pill refinement room.


    Next was naturally a closed-door seclusion training. He found a quiet chamber, and informed the servants to not disturb him, and started his meditation.


    Looking at the row of pill bottles in front of his eyes, Ye Yuan frowned lightly. He was very discontented with this round of pill refinement. Three sets of ingredients, yet he only managed to refine 26 Exploding Yuan Pills. Among the pills were 15 middle-grade Exploding Yuan Pills, eight high-grade Exploding Yuan Pills, and only three superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pills.


    Medicinal pills were divided into several grades: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, superior-grade, and transcendent-grade. If it were in the past and Ye Yuan refined these sort of lowly medicinal pills, in this case, the low-level Tier 1 Exploding Yuan Pill, the lowest grade would at least be of superior-grade. And yet today, he could only refine out a bunch of trash. This was obviously something he was not accustomed to.


    If the few Alchemy Grandmasters in the State of Qin were to hear Ye Yuan''s thoughts, they would definitely find a hole in the ground to crawl into. If they were to refine the Exploding Yuan Pill, they would express thanks to the heaven and earth if there was one superior-grade medicinal pill. Now, Ye Yuan refined three of them, and he still was not satisfied? Superior-grade medicinal pills to them were something that could only be encountered by luck and not by attempting to refine it. Only sometimes when they were lucky could they manage to refine it.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh. He knew that this was not something that could be helped. After all, this body had never refined medicinal pills before, so his skill was still lacking. The most important thing was still that his strength was too weak. One portion of essence energy had to be split into three to be used; naturally, he could not refine high-level pills.


    Holding the bottle containing the superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pills, Ye Yuan took one out and immediately swallowed it.


    The instant the pill reached his abdomen, it immediately transformed into gushes of essence energy which swept outwards. The surging essence energy repeatedly gushed through all the meridians in Ye Yuan''s body. Ye Yuan did not dare to delay, and he immediately cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to direct the chaotic essence energy to flow along the meridians properly. The initially violent essence energy immediately became extremely subservient under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. After essence energy fully circulated through Ye Yuan''s body, it finally converged within his dantian. After tempering using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, the initially somewhat chaotic essence energy became incomparably stable.


    The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was divided into three chapters of Mortal, Earth, and Heaven. Right now, Ye Yuan was cultivating the early part of the Mortal chapter. The Mortal Chapter was further divided into three sections, and each section had an accompanying martial technique. That was also a strong point of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. A martial technique dedicated to the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art had unmatched power.


    The Spirit Bristle Divine King was invincible in the Divine Realm because he had mastered the final martial technique in the Heaven Chapter of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art; this martial technique was called the Nine Suns Burning Heaven. The moment this martial technique was unleashed, a radius of several thousand miles would burn into nothingness; it was immensely terrifying.


    The supporting martial technique for the first section of the Mortal chapter was named the Absolute Yang Finger. It unleashed essence energy from the fingertips, and after mastering to the large success stage, it could smash rocks and break metal, having an extremely high attacking power.


    After four hours, the medicinal efficacy was fully absorbed by Ye Yuan after cultivating with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Ye Yuan felt the essence energy in his body was lacking just by a bit more before he could step into the Second Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan threw the second superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pill into his mouth and continued to temper the essence energy in his dantian. Another four hours passed, and Ye Yuan then swallowed the third pill.


    After Ye Yuan finished taking all the superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pills, he continued to consume the high-grade Exploding Yuan Pills. But the effects were much more inferior compared to the superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pills. Furthermore, with the increasing consumption of Exploding Yuan Pill, the medicinal effects would become less efficacious for Ye Yuan.


    When dawn was about to break, Ye Yuan felt his entire body''s meridians and dantian slightly swelled, and he was in pain. He knew that the maximum amount of essence energy he could absorb had been reached. If he continued, his body would explode, and he would die. Once again checking his body''s essence energy, it had actually reached the peak of the Third Level Essence Qi Realm; just a little more needed before stepping into the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Right now, Ye Yuan had already exhausted three superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pills as well as six high-grade Exploding Yuan Pills. It could not be said that it was not extravagant.


    From the Third Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, there was a small bottleneck. In a mortal country like the State of Qin, many people were stuck at this bottleneck, and some might even never broke through it during their lifetime.


    But this bottleneck was basically non-existent for Ye Yuan. With his extremely high cultivation realm in the past life, a small bottleneck in the Essence Qi Realm naturally could not stump him. As long as the accumulation of essence energy was sufficient, Ye Yuan could cross this threshold anytime.


    It was just that continuously rising through two small cultivation realms overnight had made Ye Yuan''s foundation slightly unstable. With Ye Yuan''s experience, he naturally would not do something where the loss outweighed the gain. Even though he desired strength, he did not want to quench his thirst for it without regard for the consequences. Only by keeping his feet firmly on the ground could he walk further.


    Over the next few days, his primary mission was to stabilized the sudden rise in strength and to strengthen the foundation of his Initial Stage Essence Qi Realm. Only then would he consider stepping into the next stage.


    Of course, because Ye Yuan cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, his essence energy was much thicker and purer than the average Third Level Essence Qi Realm. If someone else was to consume the Exploding Yuan Pill, one superior-grade Exploding Yuan Pill and two high-grade Exploding Yuan Pill were enough to make the First Level Essence Qi Realm promoted to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Which was to say that currently, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was three times thicker than the average Third Level Essence Qi Realm! No wonder the Spirit Bristle Divine King had such power. If a person was to cultivate the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to an exceedingly high realm, even if one squandered essence energy, one could exhaust his opponent to death.


    If a person took into account of this, then even if his own strength was inadequate, his essence energy was sufficient enough to refine a Divine Realm''s middle-level Tier 1 medicinal pill.


    "It''s late. Time to help Uncle Tang refine the Ink Jade Heart Returning Pill." Ye Yuan stood up and stretched his body, pushing the door outwards.


    Right after stepping out the door, he saw Lu-er swaying around like a sylph. She smiled and said, "Young Master, you exited your closed-door seclusion?"


    "En. Yii? You are already at the First Level Essence Qi Realm?" Ye Yuan replied with a smile while his perceptions unwittingly swept over Lu-er''s body. He discovered that Lu-er who was initially void of any essence energy was actually at the First Level Essence Qi Realm right now. Furthermore, he only taught Lu-er the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul a day ago!


    Lu-er nodded her head obediently and asked timidly, "Young Master, am I cultivating too slowly?"


    Ye Yuan could not help but laughed. "You little lass. Don''t say these words outside. Otherwise, you will anger others to death. Your cultivation speed is too fast; so fast that it makes everyone feel ashamed of their inadequacy."


    Lu-er had just stepped onto the path of cultivation and completely had no understanding of cultivation speed. Listening to how her young master was praising her, Lu-er was elated.


    "Really? Does that mean that in the future, I will be able to help Young Master?"


    "Haha. Of course. Our family''s Lu-er is the most amazing. Let''s go, follow young master to settle some matters. Tomorrow, we will depart for the Dan Wu Academy. I will bring you to the academy through recommendation," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

 Chapter 19: Conspiring

    Chapter 19: Conspiring


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    These few days, the Drunken Star Manor was deserted. Its limelight was stolen by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Ever since the incident caused by Ye Yuan, Wan Donghai had been in a closed-door seclusion, rejecting all visitors. This made Wan Dongyang extremely anxious. He really wanted to send someone to finish Ye Yuan off, but without his big brother''s consent, he did not dare to make the call. Hence, he would linger around Wan Donghai''s seclusion location every now and then, hoping that Wan Donghai would exit seclusion faster.


    Currently, Wan Dongyang was pacing about the room''s doorway looking very impatient. Clearly, his patience was already at its limits.


    "Big Brother, if you are still not coming out, I will bring people along to cripple that punk! I can''t stomach this grievance." Wan Dongyang clearly already lost his temper.


    Getting no response from Wan Donghai, Wan Dongyang stomped his feet angrily. Just as he was about to leave, Wan Donghai''s voice transmitted into his ears.


    "Dongyang, come in."


    Hearing this, Wan Dongyang was elated and immediately opened the door and went in.


    "Uh . . . Big Brother, weren''t you in a closed-door seclusion? Why . . ." Wan Dongyang initially thought that his big brother was really in a closed-door seclusion attempting a breakthrough. Who would have thought that he would see Wan Donghai leisurely drinking tea with a very laid-back appearance?


    Wan Donghai did not have a trace of frustration nor an appearance of defeat, which was completely different from what Wan Dongyang imagined. In fact, he was full of spirit and energy, as if the incident two days ago never happened.


    Maintaining a look as if everything was within his grasp, Wan Donghai smiled lightly and said, "Dongyang, how many times have I told you? When you encounter problems, don''t be overly agitated. This is the capital. It is our territory, but also Ye Hang''s territory. Do you think you can eliminate Ye Yuan just by bringing people along? Not unless Ye Hang''s brain stops working."


    "But Big Brother, I can''t stomach this insult! How can our Drunken Star Manor carry on operating in the capital after being smacked across the face by a brat who is still wet behind the ears?!" Wan Dongyang retorted.


    "Doing business is all about harmony bringing wealth. Even if we have to fight, it should be behind the scene. There would be no meaning for you openly slaughtering your way to their doorstep other than forcing the Drunken Star Manor into a more passive position."


    "This . . ."


    "You just have to settle down and help me manage the Drunken Star Manor. As for Ye Yuan, you don''t have to worry about it. I''ve already made arrangements."


    Wan Dongyang''s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What kind of arrangements?"


    With a smile, Wan Donghai said, "He is just a First Level Essence Qi Realm brat. Why do we need to personally take action to kill him? Now that his body''s recovered, I estimate that he will be returning to the Dan Wu Academy within these two days. If he were to have some mishap along the way, then it would have nothing to do with us."


    "Big Brother''s intentions are . . .?"


    "I already hired a Mosha assassin to take action. He can''t possibly fail to handle a First Level Essence Qi Realm brat, right?"


    "Hahaha!" Wan Dongyang laughed wildly and exclaimed with admiration, "Big Brother truly has the situation well within your grasp. This Little Brother is impressed! Why didn''t I think of this move? Mosha assassins come and go like the shadow. Within the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, anyone who hears that name will turn pale. With them taking action, that stinky brat definitely can''t escape death!"


    "En. Mosha is the most outstanding as well as the most trustworthy assassination organization within the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations. Since my son, Yuan-er, failed to poison that brat to death, I will send that punk on his way once more. To dare provoke me, Wan Donghai, that brat must be tired of living."


    Wan Donghai''s entire personality became colder as he uttered those words.


    "That''s right. Who knows where that brat got such an obscure poison from. To dare to challenge us? He simply has no idea of life from death. If he himself had some strength, then forget it. But he just had to be a wastrel at the First Level Essence Qi Realm. Eliminating him simply takes no effort at all." In Wan Dongyang''s eyes, Ye Yuan was already a dead man.


    Wan Donghai laughed as if he had no more interest in Ye Yuan''s matters. In his eyes, Ye Yuan was not even being considered an opponent; at best, he was a just a flea.


    "If this incident was instigated by Ye Hang behind the scenes, then he has successfully infuriated me! This time, our Drunken Star Manor will definitely strike down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion completely! I want Ye Hang''s friends and relatives to abandon him!"


    Wan Donghai took out a medicinal pill from his sleeve and passed it to Wan Dongyang. Filled with suspicion, Wan Dongyang took the pill, but even after staring at it for a while, he could not see anything special. Not every alchemist could reach Ye Yuan''s level of understanding of medicinal effects. Wan Dongyang was only able to determine that it was a pill similar to the Essence Qi Pill.


    "Big Brother, this is . . .?"


    "This pill is called Essence Gathering Pill. It''s the same type of essence energy accumulating pill like the Essence Qi Pill. However, an Essence Gathering Pill''s medicinal efficacy is 50% stronger than the Essence Qi Pill! What do you think would happen once our Drunken Star Manor starts to offer a large supply of this pill?" Wan Donghai could no longer conceal the pride on his face.


    Wan Dongyang had a faint idea, but he never thought this Essence Gathering Pill could have such an effect. After listening to Big Brother''s explanation, Wan Dongyang''s heart felt an upsurge of emotion.


    Once a pill like this was released onto the market, it would definitely be making a killing!


    Even though an Essence Qi Pill could help increase strength, if one had started consuming it at the First Level Essence Qi Realm, this sort of pill would not have significant effects after reaching the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, much less at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    But if the person swapped the Essence Qi Pill with an Essence Gathering Pill and started consuming it at the First Level Essence Qi Realm, it would mean one''s cultivation speed became faster than the others by 50%! For the geniuses from major families, it was something they could only dream of.


    Every minute and second counts in the Martial Path. With an increase in bone age, the potential in the human body would gradually be squeezed dry. Therefore, the amount of time available for getting stronger would be extremely limited. Hence, this naturally meant that anyone who could cultivate to a higher realm when they were young and could walk further along the Martial Path. Looking at things from this point of view showed the extraordinary significance of an Essence Gathering Pill.


    "Big Brother, what is the cost price of this Essence Gathering Pill?" As an alchemist himself, Wan Dongyang wasn''t a fool. He asked the crucial question straightaway.


    "Relax, this Essence Gathering Pill is also a Tier 1 medicinal pill. The cost price is only slightly higher than the Essence Qi Pill."


    "That''s great! Big Brother, we will be able to completely take down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion with just this Essence Gathering Pill!"


    The two pairs of eyes met, and the brothers started laughing in unison.


    . . . . . .


    At the Tang Family''s residence.


    Tang Zonghuai had just eaten the medicinal pill which Ye Yuan brought and was in a closed-door seclusion right now attempting to refine the medicinal efficacy.


    The pill which Ye Yuan helped Tang Zonghuai refined was called the Ink Jade Heart Returning Pill. This sort of pill naturally did not exist in the State of Qin. But the required medicinal herbs were not difficult to find. With the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s resources, Ye Yuan quickly collected the medicinal herbs and refined it successfully.


    This Ink Jade Returning Heart Pill was a pill specializing in treating internal injuries. The medicinal properties were about the same as the Great Returning Pill, but the medicinal efficacy was more than an entire grade higher compared to the Great Returning Pill. Not only it could help protect Tang Zonghuai''s heart meridians, but also it could repair his damaged organs. As long as Tang Zonghuai managed to absorb the medicinal properties thoroughly, he would recover within three days.


    In the Tang Family Outer Hall, Tang Yu gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan. "This time around, if I didn''t coincidentally meet Brother Ye, I''m afraid Father would be doomed. Brother Ye, please accept this bow."


    Stopping Tang Yu with his hands, Ye Yuan gave a smile and then said, "No need to be so polite, Brother Tang. It was also Brother Tang''s filial piety which touched me. Looking at you, a father and son pair, I would recall the anxious appearance my own father had a few days ago. How could I bear to watch the two of you be separated by death? In a way, you were the one who saved your father, Brother Tang. If you didn''t give me the Six Leaf Grass, then I would be helpless against Uncle''s injuries."


    Hearing Ye Yuan said this, Tang Yu suddenly realized that Ye Yuan''s essence energy was way too abundant. To think he already reached the Third Level Essence Qi Ream after one day!


    "This . . . in just one night, Brother Ye actually improved by two levels? H-how is this possible?" Just now, Tang Yu''s thoughts were completely on his father. Now that he discovered the changes in Ye Yuan''s body, he was dumbstruck with astonishment.


    The Dan Wu Academy was a place where geniuses congregated. Tang Yu had seen a lot of geniuses before, but he had never heard of a genius who could improve by two levels overnight. It was completely inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I just took advantage of the opportunity. I''ve incurred Brother Tang''s ridicule."


    To Ye Yuan, it was naturally taking advantage of the opportunity. However, if other people had the Exploding Yuan Pill, they would not dare to consume it as he did. The result would undoubtedly be death due to the rupturing of the person''s meridians. However, Ye Yuan''s understanding of medicinal properties had reached a height that no ordinary person could understand. With the addition of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, it was also the reason why he dared to swallow such pills.


    Recovering from his surprise, Tang Yu forced a smile. "Taking advantage of the opportunity? Incurs ridicule? Brother Ye, these words truly made me ashamed of my inadequacy!"


    "Hahaha.No need to be like that, Brother Tang. I still have some medicinal pills here which aids cultivation. I will give them to you. I think there''s no longer any concern for Uncle Tang''s injuries. Can Brother Tang accompany me back to the Dan Wu Academy tomorrow?"


    "Alright. After Father exits seclusion and there''s really no issues, I will follow Brother Ye back tomorrow."


    "En. The medicinal pills I gave Brother Tang needs to be kept safe. Take care not to let other people know about it."


    Hearing what Ye Yuan said, Tang Yu knew that this medicinal pill was no trivial thing. So he replied solemnly, "Don''t worry, Brother Ye. This Tang Yu will definitely keep his mouth shut."


    An Exploding Yuan Pill naturally was not of much worth in the Divine Realm, but it was far too precious when placed in a place like this State of Qin. How could Ye Yuan not understand the logic of an innocent man getting into trouble because of his wealth?

 Chapter 20: Return Journey

    Chapter 20: Return Journey


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The capital was always packed with people. Groups of them would often enter the city in threes or fives from outside. Currently, at the roadside, Ye Hang and wife were sending Ye Yuan off.


    "Yuan-er, although this is only a half-day journey, I keep feeling uneasy. With Wan Donghai''s personality, he definitely wouldn''t swallow this insult and humiliation silently. My guess is that he is definitely scheming something. Ah Ping and Ah Cheng had followed me for many years. I think it is best if they escorted you along the way." Ye Hang tried his best to persuade his son.


    Just like how Wan Donghai understood Ye Hang, similarly, Ye Hang too had a deep understanding of Wan Donghai. That was why he had been persuading Ye Yuan all these while to bring along the two guards but kept on being rejected by Ye Yuan.


    "Father, it is only a half-day journey. It is fine. Furthermore, there is Brother Tang who is traveling with me. No matter how brave Wan Donghai is, he wouldn''t dare to openly send people to kill me."


    Ye Yuan rejected with a smile like before.


    "Aiya.Just listen to your father, Yuan-er. That Wan Donghai is vicious and coldhearted. It''s easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow shot in the dark." Ren Hongling tried to persuade him as well.


    The couple had lost him once, and now they had him back, they did not want any accidents to happen again.


    However, Ye Yuan just smiled and shook his head; the rejection was already evident.


    "Aiya. You are so stubborn."


    Ye Hang knew that his son, currently, could not be compared with how he was in the past. Perhaps he really had a life-preserving trump card. Yesterday, when his son appeared in front of him, he was astoundingly already at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm; this gave him a huge fright. Although he knew that Ye Yuan encountered a powerful master, this advancement speed was too terrifying.


    But after thinking about the extremely mysterious methods of the expert, Ye Hang felt at ease. He knew that there were too many things beyond his comprehension in this world.


    "Forget it. Since he doesn''t want to, then let him go alone. Our son is all grown up. There are some things which he must face himself." Ye Hang sighed.


    Ye Yuan bowed towards his parents before setting off with Tang Yu and Lu-er.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware that this journey would not be too peaceful. But he wished to face some matters by himself as he wanted to use this chance to temper himself.


    Ye Yuan possessed unfathomable knowledge in Alchemy Dao; his broad horizons transcended this world as well as having countless martial techniques. However, these things do not represent strength. Otherwise, Ye Yuan could have already charged back to the Divine Realm right now.


    What Ye Yuan wanted to do was to use these things and turn them into actual strength.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan was too focused on Alchemy Dao, leading to him neglecting Martial Dao. His cultivation realm was indeed high, but his combat prowess was a complete mess.


    How to take the knowledge brought over from his previous life and convert it into combat power?


    Ye Yuan knows that it was to fight, fight, and FIGHT!


    Only through non-stop combat he could increase his battle power and slaughter his way back to the Divine Realm!


    Without actual combat experience, no matter how profound Ye Yuan''s knowledge was, it would merely be like the moon''s reflection on the water, only an illusion.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not wish to grow up under Ye Hang''s protection. That was why he chose to return to the Dan Wu Academy in order to compete with other geniuses.


    Just as Ye Yuan described to Tang Zong Huai, the Dan Wu Academy was not a utopia. In contrast, the competition inside was quite cruel.


    And with this return journey to the academy, it would be the first time Ye Yuan going to face this challenge.


    . . . . . .


    The Dan Wu Academy was not situated within the capital, but rather, located a hundred miles north of the capital. The area was close to the Endless Forest; an excellent place to temper geniuses.


    Ye Yuan and his group did not rush back to the academy. Instead, they rode on their horses in a leisurely manner.


    "Oh right, I still haven''t congratulated Brother Tang for stepping into the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    Originally, Tang Yu was at the peak of the Fourth Level. Now that he obtained Ye Yuan''s Exploding Yuan Pill, he might as well find a rock to commit suicide with if he still could not step into the Fifth level.


    "No no. This was all thanks to Brother Ye''s Exploding Yuan Pill. The Exploding Yuan Pill is indeed miraculous. To think that the essence energy contained inside is several times greater than in the Essence Qi Pill. I only ate one of them and easily broke through."


    Up till now, Tang Yu was still reminiscing the aftertaste of that violent essence energy, thinking to himself that increasing cultivation level was unexpectedly easy. Furthermore, because he ate the Exploding Yuan Pill, he understood why Ye Yuan could advance two ranks overnight.


    What he did not know was that Ye Yuan already consumed the Exploding Yuan Pills of the best quality. Furthermore, the quantity consumed was several times of his. Those pills would have been sufficient for him to cultivate to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Every stage within the Essence Qi Realm was not as simple as one plus one equals to two. The higher your realm was, the greater the quantity of essence energy required; furthermore, it increased multiple times. The amount of essence energy needed to go from the Fifth Level to the Sixth Level was practically the total sum of essence energy needed for the First Level to the Fifth Level. Yet, such an immense amount of essence energy was only sufficient for Ye Yuan to cultivate to the Third Level.


    "Hahaha. An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. After Brother Tang returns to the academy, take care to not reveal the Exploding Yuan Pill. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable."


    Wan Donghai had the confidence to take down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion with just the Essence Gathering Pills, yet this Exploding Yuan Pill''s medicinal effects were even greater than the Essence Gathering Pill. Once it was exposed, it would definitely cause a bloodbath.


    During Ye Yuan''s previous life, he spent a long time in an exalted position. Other than that wildly ambitious traitor, he was confident that he had some ability in judging people. Tang Yu had commendable filial piety and was definitely not a despicable backstabber. Furthermore, he saw a great deal of himself in Tang Yu which was why he showed his appreciation of his talent by gifting the Exploding Yuan Pill to him.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not without any selfish intention. A good man had three helpers. After Ye Yuan went back to the academy, he could not possibly personally take care of every problem he would encounter. If he had a few good friends, things would be much easier.


    "Don''t worry, Brother Ye. Tang Yu isn''t someone who can''t differentiate between good and bad. I am also aware of the huge implications that this Exploding Yuan Pill has and will absolutely not reveal it in front of others. Forgive Tang Yu for being bold, but since Brother Ye has such capabilities, why is there a need to attend the Dan Wu Academy?"


    Tang Yu was not a fool. Although he could only see a corner of the iceberg, he was absolutely certain that Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao standards had already completely surpassed the current standard in the State of Qin. Was it not an unnecessary move to attend the Dan Wu Academy?


    However, there were some things that he did not feel comfortable saying, fearful that Ye Yuan might misunderstand. That was where did Ye Yuan learn all of these from? Regardless of that nameless medicinal pill used to treat his father or that Exploding Yuan Pill which Ye Yuan possessed, all of those could not possibly be refined by Ye Hang.


    However, he could only let all these suspicions remained in his stomach. Unless Ye Yuan took the initiative to tell him, he would not overstep his boundaries.


    "The Dan Wu Academy is still a place where the elites of the State of Qin congregate. Such a place where the wind meets the clouds; how can I, Ye Yuan, pass up this opportunity?"


    "Hahaha. In my opinion, those so-called elites and geniuses, they are all just clay chickens and pottery dogs when compared to Brother Ye."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and replied, "The heroes under the heavens cannot be underestimated. I think you''ve guessed it, but these few days, I''ve had a lucky encounter, which was why my changes were so big. However, my strength is still too weak. A genius who cannot grow stronger will only become stepping stones for others."


    Nodding his head, Tang Yu faintly understood the reason why Ye Yuan wanted to go to the Dan Wu Academy, and at the same time, he was full of admiration towards Ye Yuan.


    It went without saying that the lucky encounter which Ye Yuan came across was absolutely extraordinary. But for Ye Yuan to not be conceited or rash and remained clear of his position, it was truly hard to come by.


    Among those geniuses in the academy, which one of them did not have eyes growing on top of their heads? Those people looked down upon others with ordinary backgrounds.


    Tang Yu believed that soon enough, Ye Yuan would be able to display his own brilliance within the Dan Wu Academy, and those so-called geniuses would be outshone by him.


    "Come on out. I believe Mister is tired after following us all the way. Am I right?" Ye Yuan suddenly shouted out loud while Tang Yu was still lost in his own thoughts.

 Chapter 21: Bronze Assassin

    Chapter 21: Bronze Assassin


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Chou Ying was gloomy these past two days.


    As a Bronze Rank assassin from Mosha, his assassination targets were mostly martial artists of the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm and above. Yet this time around, the mission he received was actually to assassinate a First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie.


    To have obtained the title of a Bronze Rank assassin showed that his abilities had already received preliminary recognition from the organization. Chou Ying''s strength was at the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, meaning the missions he received were mostly corresponding to his level; sometimes even against martial artists who were stronger than him. Asking him to assassinate a First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie was simply a form of humiliation to him.


    Chou Ying was an ambitious assassin. His goal was to become a Gold Rank assassin. Hence, the training he received back in Mosha was rather severe. Concealment, disguising appearances, and one hit certain kill; he studied all of these very diligently which was why his strength grew very quickly as well.


    In order to stimulate his potential, Chou Ying frequently accepted quite challenging missions. There was even an occasion where he accepted a mission to assassinate a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm target which he barely managed to complete by the skin of his teeth. Ever since then, he received more attention from the organization, and the resources allocated to him also increased by a lot.


    This time around, the assassination target was said to be a reckless silkpants who did not have any abilities. A 15-year-old but only at the First Level Essence Qi Realm; he was definitely akin to rotten mud which cannot hold up the wall. Supposedly, the employer spent a large sum of money to request for a Bronze Rank killer to move out.


    Facing a target like that, Chou Ying only needed to use a single finger to crush him.


    However, Chou Ying was an extremely professional killer. Although he completely dismissed the employer''s repeated cautioning, he still made adequate preparations.


    Many of those in the same profession used their blood to teach Chou Ying one particular truth; a lion would go all out even when hunting a rabbit.


    In the past, many rookies, even Bronze Rank assassins from Mosha, tried to kill their targets out in the open just because the targets were too weak, but ended up losing their own lives.


    Additionally, it was expected that the target''s father had planned for two experts to escort him, which would make things very troublesome for Chou Ying.


    However, Chou Ying was extremely confident in his assassination techniques. As long as he made use of the favorable climate and geographical advantage, he would definitely be able to assassinate the target successfully even while under the protection of the two experts.


    But who would have thought that the retarded silkpants actually chose not to bring along those two followers. Instead, he left the city with only another punk and a young lady with him.


    Hehehe. Since you are courting death, then I won''t hold back.


    Chou Ying who was looking from far away was so excited that his heart was about to jump out.


    After leaving the city, Chou Ying had been following the three of them from far behind, without any intention of making any move. He had already investigated the route leading from the capital to the Dan Wu Academy and already had a place in mind where he will make his strike.


    These three people did not seem to be anxious. They took their time while enjoying the scenery.


    Ha, you guys just have fun a little while longer. After all, this is the last bit of fun you guys will enjoy in your lives.


    Chou Ying laughed coldly in his heart.


    Seeing as they were about to arrive at the Dan Wu Academy, Chou Ying circled around and went ahead of them, and then laid in ambush among the rocky terrain. He had long predetermined that this was the best location for him to strike. Here, the rocks formed an uneven terrain which was advantageous for concealing himself. He was prepared to kill Ye Yuan in a single blow.


    Right when Ye Yuan and his entourage were about to enter his certain-kill range, the three of them stopped, leaving Chou Ying stunned.


    . . . . . .


    "Come on out. I believe Mister is tired after following us all the way. Am I right?" Ye Yuan''s words slowly drifted into Chou Ying''s ears.


    No one answered . . .


    This brat . . . is he making a blind guess?


    Trying to trick me to go out? Hehehe. That must be it!


    But he seemed to have underestimated this brat. To think he actually guessed that someone would send people here to kill him. Since Ye Yuan managed to predict this, then why he did not bring along followers? Unless those two followers had been following them all along, and even he himself did not discover it?


    But how was that possible?


    The strength of those two followers was at best about the same as him. If they had been following these three people all the way, it would be impossible for him to not have spotted them!


    As a Bronze Rank assassin from Mosha, Chou Ying had considerable confidence in his abilities to conceal and tail people. If it had been a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist who followed them, then it would be reasonable for him to not have noticed anything. But those two followers were just Essence Qi Realm martial artists. There was no way he could not discover them.


    No matter what, as long as they entered his attack range, he would just send that Ye Yuan to see King Yama.


    . . . . . .


    "Young Master, what''s wrong?" Lu-er did not understand why Ye Yuan would suddenly blurt out something like that and asked him in puzzlement.


    Rather, it was Tang Yu whose vigilance was quite high. The moment Ye Yuan said those words, Tang Yu entire body went on alert.


    "Hahaha. It''s just a small thief. No big deal," Ye Yuan said without any care.


    Lu-er, upon seeing Ye Yuan''s casual attitude, took things even less seriously. "But Young Master, where is that bad guy hiding?"


    "Oh. Right behind that big boulder. My guess is that he is waiting for us to go over before ambushing us." Ye Yuan gestured with his mouth and gave a smile.


    Chou Ying''s emotions which had just relaxed, once again tightened with Ye Yuan''s words. Wasn''t he behind a big boulder right now?


    However, this place was filled with piles of rocks and stones; even gigantic boulders were everywhere. How would that guy know which boulder he was hiding behind?


    Still trying to draw me out?


    I, Chou Ying, am a professional killer. How could I possibly be goaded out using this super weak goading technique?


    "Hey, the state of your heart is in disorder. That''s not good." Ye Yuan''s voice drifted over once again.


    Chou Ying reacted with a violent shudder.


    As an assassin, Chou Ying always felt that the state of his heart had already been trained to a realm where he was unaffected by any disturbances. However, those two sentences by Ye Yuan really disrupted the state of his heart.


    How was this possible?! The other party is only a First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie!


    Could it be that he really discovered me? He wasn''t bluffing?


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s demon-like voice drifted into his ears once again. "How about this? I will throw a rock over. If I hit the correct one, you come out; if I hit wrongly, then I will carry on walking. How''s that?"


    The moment the voice stopped, Chou Yin heard a whoosh, followed by the crisp sound of a small rock hitting a boulder. The boulder that he was leaning against . . .


    Chou Ying realized that he was out of luck. Ye Yuan truly knew that he was hiding here and was not trying to trick him.


    Revealing himself, Chou Ying discovered three youths staring right at him. Among them, one of the youths had a weird smile on his face, who also happened to be the target he was sent to assassinate: Ye Yuan.


    "How did you discover me?" Chou Ying asked with a dark face.


    He was unable to understand how a First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie could discover him. Right now, what he wanted to know the most was where his concealment went wrong, in order to make improvements after today''s mission.


    As for whether or not these three people in front of him posed a threat, that was something he had never even considered!


    How was it possible for a Mosha''s Bronze Rank assassin to be defeated by three rookies?


    "Want to know how? Not going to tell you!" Ye Yuan looked as if he was not willing to, and it was also impossible for him to answer Chou Ying''s question.


    He could not possibly tell Chou Ying that this body contained a super amazing soul.


    "Courting death!" Right when Chou Ying was about to strike, he suddenly stopped. "Yii? To think he''s actually at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm? The information doesn''t match!"

 Chapter 22: Instant Flash

    Chapter 22: Instant Flash


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Chou Ying spent the past two days observing Ye Yuan from afar, so he was not aware of Ye Yuan''s transformation. Now that he was facing Ye Yuan, he realized that his assassination target was already at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    To Chou Ying, there was not much difference between the First Level Essence Qi Realm and the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. An opponent like this was basically an instant kill for him.


    Every three levels in the Essence Qi Realm was considered as one stage. Even though there was only a difference of one stage between the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm and the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, one should not underestimate it, as the difference in strength was huge. It was not difficult for a person at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to face off against five or six people at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    As Chou Ying was two stages above Ye Yuan, he did not feel that Ye Yuan posed any threat to him.


    What made Chou Ying uncertain was whether the employer''s information was wrong, or it was this youth in front of him that was too monstrous?


    Chou Ying would rather choose to believe the former. After all, only two to three days had passed since the mission was issued. To train from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm in two to three days?


    Was this a joke?


    "Brother Ye, this person is very troublesome to deal with. In a while, I will delay him; you and Lu-er quickly rush off! The academy is only around ten miles from here. The two of you quickly go and get help!" Wielding his sword, Tang Yu positioned himself in front of Ye Yuan and Lu-er.


    He could feel the killing intent emanating out of Chou Ying, yet he could not see through Chou Ying''s abilities. He knew that this time around, they had met a tough character. Not only did Ye Yuan save Tang Zonghuai''s life, but he also gave him a high-level medicinal pill. It could be said that Tang Yu owed Ye Yuan a great debt of gratitude. What Tang Yu was doing now was risking his life to repay the debt.


    Although Tang Yu was also a genius student from the Dan Wu Academy, when compared to Chou Yin who had been through hundreds of battles, regardless whether it was strength or experience, he was too lacking. Staying behind naturally meant certain death.


    Among the three of them, Tang Yu''s strength was the greatest. Hence, he did not hesitate at all to stand out.


    Seeing Tang Yu''s appearance as if he was about to face a great enemy, Lu-er also started to become nervous. "Young Master, run away first! Big Brother Tang and I will cover your retreat!"


    When Ye Yuan saw Lu-er standing in front of him, he could not help but to laugh. "Silly girl, what can you do by staying behind. Move away."


    "No way! I''m not moving!" Lu-er said stubbornly.


    Looking at Tang Yu''s and Lu-er''s actions, Ye Yuan found it hilarious, yet he was extremely touched in his heart.


    One can only see true feelings during a crisis. Lu-er''s actions were within Ye Yuan''s expectations. However, he had only just met Tang Yu a few days ago. Even if he had saved Tang Yu''s father and gave him an Exploding Yuan Pill, someone who lacked resolution would have long fled for his life.


    One had to know, with Chou Ying''s strength, without any accident, the three of them would undoubtedly die.


    "Hahaha. What a touching scene! Ye Yuan, it is fine if you don''t say anything. But this young lady looks rather ravishing, in a while . . ." Chou Ying started laughing wildly.


    At this point, Chou Ying was confident that this Ye Yuan definitely cultivated some technique, or he had some treasure on him, which was how Ye Yuan found his location.


    Such a technique or even a treasure like that was tremendously useful to him. Hence, he felt that no matter what, he had to force an answer out.


    Furthermore, Lu-er was indeed tempting. Why would he let go of this chance?


    "You guys, make way!" Ye Yuan pushed Lu-er and Tang Yu aside and stood in front. He still had a smile on his face, except now, that smile became ice-cold.


    An inexplicable chill suddenly filled his heart. It made Chou Ying shuddered.


    What''s going on?


    Chou Ying had killed at least a hundred, if not eighty people. He initially already had an ice-cold air around his body. Even if a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist were to stand in front of him right now, it would be impossible to make him shudder. Yet when he was facing this Third Level Essence Qi Realm brat, he actually felt a chill?


    Chou Ying felt that everything that had happened today was too abnormal. This was supposedly a mission that was simple without a doubt. Why did things become so bizarre?


    "You and I originally had no grudges. Initially, I only wanted to try things out with you seeing as you are helping others avert disaster by taking their money. But since you dare to have ideas about Lu-er, then don''t blame me for taking your life."


    Ye Yuan''s words revealed a bone-piercing chill.


    At this point, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill; something that he refined before setting off.


    Since he knew that this journey would be dangerous, Ye Yuan naturally would not be unprepared.


    This medicinal pill was named Five Elements Spirit Link Pill; it was refined using medicinal herbs having five different attributes being metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. An Essence Qi Realm martial artist, after consuming it, could directly raise their strength by an entire stage for a period of time!


    "Hahaha.This is hilarious! I want to see how a Third Level Essence Qi Realm brat like you can take my life!"


    Chou Ying''s emotion was nowhere as calm as what he was showing on his face currently. In reality, he only used these words to encourage himself, to chase away the shadow that was shrouding his heart.


    At this moment, schwing! Chou Ying''s sword left its scabbard.


    As a killer, Chou Ying would stoop to anything to kill his opponent. Nobody said that you could not do a sneak attack during a frontal battle. A moment ago, Chou Ying was still talking and laughing, and the next moment, his sword already reached in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Brother Ye (Young Master), be careful!" Tang Yu and Lu-er shouted in unison.


    However, their cries were not faster than Chou Ying''s sword. By the time they reacted, Chou Ying''s sword had already stabbed through Ye Yuan''s body.


    "Young Master!"


    "Brother Ye!"


    Looking at this scene, Tang Yu and Lu-er gave a heart-piercing cry.


    Chou Ying felt that something was wrong. His sword obviously passed through Ye Yuan''s body, but why his hand did not feel anything?


    The reason why Chou Ying drew his sword so quickly was not only because he was cautious, but also because the uneasiness in his heart had become increasingly stronger.


    He watched as Ye Yuan swallowed that medicinal pill. Although he did not believe that Ye Yuan could threaten him just by eating some pills, as a person who had always been cautious, he did not hesitate at all before drawing his sword.


    Only a dead person could make one rest easy.


    However, he clearly had killed Ye Yuan. But why was this ominous feeling in his heart still there?


    At this moment, Ye Yuan who was stabbed by Chou Ying gradually dissipated and then turned into nothingness.


    What Chou Ying stabbed was actually just an afterimage!


    "Hey, it''s very dangerous for you to show your back to the enemy."


    Ye Yuan''s voice made Chou Ying went stiff.


    How is this possible?! I already stabbed him!


    "Instant Flash! It''s actually Instant Flash!" Tang Yu exclaimed.


    "Young Master! It''s great that you are fine!" Lu-er shouted, pleasantly surprised.


    "Hahaha. Of course I''m fine. How can your young master die so easily?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Brother Ye actually managed to master such difficult footwork. Furthermore, your use of it was absolutely superb. What a genius!" Tang Yu marveled at this show of ability.


    "Just a trifling skill."


    To other people, Instant Flash was an incredibly profound footwork which was exceedingly hard to comprehend. However, to Ye Yuan, this level of footwork did not possess any challenge.


    Instant Flash might look impressive, but it was actually only a footwork technique that allowed the user to move freely in a small radius. It was merely a Tier 1 Martial Technique, something that was not very profound.


    However, this footwork encompassed Heavenly Dao, making it easy to learn but challenging to master. An ordinary person who wanted to master it would find it incredibly difficult. Even within the Dan Wu Academy, Instant Flash was a highly challenging technique with hardly anyone able to master it.


    However, this level of Heavenly Dao was not worth mentioning to Ye Yuan who once had possessed an incredibly high cultivation level.

 Chapter 23: I Will Only Use One Finger

    Chapter 23: I Will Only Use One Finger


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    As a matter of fact, there were still some advantages in Ye Hang sending Ye Yuan to the Dan Wu Academy. That fellow at the very least will attend a few classes and pick up some stuff.


    Although these things were not worth mentioning to the current Ye Yuan, it was still a pretty decent option for fooling people.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, Instant Flash was a practical martial technique, yet not overly conspicuous.


    Even though this martial technique faintly encompassed Heavenly Dao, in reality, it just barely touched a corner of it; it did not even count as crossing the threshold.


    Ye Yuan spent the past few days reorganizing his predecessor''s memories. By relying on these vague impressions from his predecessor''s classes, he managed to fumble out several basic martial techniques with Instant Flash being one of it.


    In reality, while the Instant Flash that Ye Yuan executed seemed right, it was actually different. But by executing it with Ye Yuan''s comprehension, it was only stronger and not weaker than those demonstrated by the teachers in the academy.


    "No wonder you dare to not bring along followers. To think that your Instant Flash already reached such a level. Very impressive! Looks like the appraisal of you in the report was fairly misleading."


    Chou Ying naturally knew that Instant Flash was not a unique martial technique. However, as Instant Flash was a footwork technique with only a small range of motion, it was not very useful for assassination. This was why he did not study it much.


    Mastery of a martial technique could be classified into several categories. From low to high respectively: entry stage, small success stage, large success stage, great circle stage, and the legendary breaking illusion stage.


    Even so, Chou Ying knew that for Instant Flash to leave behind an afterimage, it had to reach at least the great circle stage. To be able to train such an amazing movement technique to the great circle stage, as long as he did not meet any martial artists specializing in movement technique and the opponent was at the Essence Qi Realm and below, he basically had the ability to self-preserve.


    No wonder this brat dared to be so arrogant, he really had some capabilities.


    As an assassin, Chou Ying naturally had a movement technique that he specialized in. However, his movement technique was only trained till the large success stage. There was still quite a bit of distance away from the great circle stage.


    It would be wrong to think that there was only a small difference of one realm between the large success stage and the great circle stage. For mastery of a martial technique, it was as far apart as heaven and earth.


    The great circle stage would mean training the martial technique to the pinnacle, without any further room for improvements. Except for those monsters who possessed incredible comprehension, it would be very difficult to train a martial technique to the great circle stage.


    As for the legendary breaking illusion stage, it would mean to break out of the great circle stage and create an alternate possibility; a sort of evolution from the original martial technique.


    The requirements needed to train a martial technique to the breaking illusion stage were so harsh that it made one''s hair stand on its end. That was why it was considered a legendary stage. Generally speaking, training a martial technique to the great circle stage represented attaining the highest stage.


    Chou Yin had always been somewhat confident of his movements, but he did not want to lose to a silkpants.


    "You flattered me. But there are no bonus marks. You still have to die," Ye Yuan said lightly.


    "Hahaha!" As if he just heard a hilarious joke, Chou Yin laughed wildly before saying, "To not know the immensity of heaven and earth! I admit that my movements are inferior when compared to you. But I don''t think those two people beside you also have movement techniques at the great circle stage, do they? I''d like to see how a weak silkpants at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm like you going to receive my blow directly!"


    Chou Ying was a veteran in battles. After missing that one strike, he immediately looked for another way. Obviously, the two people beside Ye Yuan were his biggest weakness.


    Tang Yu was still fine, but Lu-er was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in Chou Ying''s eyes.


    Your movement technique is fast? What''s the use of you being fast if I force you to fight me head-on?


    Yet at this moment, that wild smile froze on his face; what replaced it was bafflement.


    Because at this moment, Ye Yuan''s aura started to increase explosively under everyone''s perception.


    Peak Third Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm broke through its bottleneck from the Third Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm and continued rising rapidly; all the way until it passed the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm before stopping.


    Looking at this scene, Chou Ying was dumbstruck and forgot to make his move for a moment.


    "H-how is this possible?" Chou Ying sucked in a cold breath.


    He suddenly recalled the scene where Ye Yuan swallowed the medicinal pill and thought to himself; could this possibly be the effects of that medicinal pill?


    Even though he had heard that some medicinal pills were able to increase strength temporarily, this was his first time seeing a medicinal pill which could increase three small cultivation realms in a row.


    Chou Ying could not help but think that if he had a medicinal pill like this, wouldn''t completing missions be as simple as cutting up vegetables?


    Yet the reality was that a rookie who had a difference of four small cultivation realms from him, in a blink of an eye, created a gap by only one small cultivation realm than him . . .


    Although the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm and the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm were not on the same level, without a doubt, Ye Yuan indeed possessed the capital to fight with him now. Coupled with his Instant Flash being at the great circle stage, it might be possible for Ye Yuan to battle him.


    Chou Ying suddenly felt that today was very bizarre. This brat in front of him had truly given him too many surprises. Initially, he was still grumbling about how this mission was too simple. Now, he could not help but somewhat regretted taking on this mission.


    However, regardless of what happens, the mission had to be completed. Otherwise, he would most likely lose the status he earned painstakingly in Mosha.


    Apparently, the reason why Chou Ying was still thinking about completing the mission was that even after Ye Yuan swallowed the Five Elements Spirit Link Pill, his cultivation realm ultimately had stopped at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    This was a cultivation realm that he could handle.


    Narrowing both eyes, the killing intent from Chou Yin firmly locked onto Lu-er.


    "One Word Kill!"


    Chou Ying immediately made his strongest move which he had used to finish off countless opponents in the past.


    One Word Kill; simple and straightforward, yet it was domineering. A straightforward move that was not flashy at all.


    Lu-er stood there completely unable to react as the sword already reached in front of her.


    A hideous smile flashed across Chou Ying''s face as if he could see the beauty, Lu-er, was dying, and the image of Ye Yuan''s heart-wrenching grief.


    However, just as Chou Ying''s sword was about to pierce Lu-er''s throat . . .


    Ding!


    His hand which was gripping his sword became numb, and the short sword which had never left his side was sent flying away.


    A terrifying strength was transmitted, and Chou Ying was sent flying away as well.


    At the critical moment just now, Ye Yuan reached Lu-er with Instant Flash, while his attack which was released after, struck first.


    He only stretched his finger out and tapped lightly, accurately hitting Chou Ying''s short sword and sent it flying!


    Absolute Yang Finger!


    Ye Yuan''s Absolute Yang Finger already had some progress, reaching the entry stage after several days of cultivation.


    A martial technique of this rank obviously was not so easy to learn. To have reached the entry stage within a few days showed how outstanding Ye Yuan''s talent was.


    Even though it was only the entry stage of Absolute Yang Finger, executing it with Ye Yuan''s current Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was not something that Chou Ying could withstand.


    Chou Ying rolled on the ground. Puhwark! He spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Looking at Chou Ying, Ye Yuan said coldly, "I will only use one finger. Whether you can escape or not, it is up to your abilities."


    Right now, Chou Ying''s innards were in mayhem. But he knew that he had hit a hard plate. This brat was clearly pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger! He was too strong!


    Forcefully suppressing his injuries, Chou Ying could not be bothered to care about anything else and started to wildly circulate all the essence energy in his body.


    He wanted to flee!


    Chou Ying could feel Ye Yuan''s surging killing intent. Clearly, his actions to kill Lu-er just now had thoroughly infuriated Ye Yuan.


    Chou Ying used all the strength in his body to escape. He could even feel that his current speed was faster than it had ever been before. It was so fast that his movement technique had touched the threshold of the great circle stage.


    This discovery made him ecstatic with joy!


    I can escape!


    I definitely can escape!


    Chou Ying was screaming in his mind, and then his consciousness gradually blurred . . .

 Chapter 24: Good Dogs Donst Get Underfoot

    Chapter 24: Good Dogs Don''t Get Underfoot


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Watching Chou Ying utilized his movement technique to try to escape, Ye Yuan raised his finger leisurely and channeled essence energy with all his might using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    A finger pointed forward, and a formless force shot out from Ye Yuan''s finger. It tore through the air, penetrating Chou Ying''s heart in an instant.


    The force was so swift and fierce that Chou Ying did not even notice his injury. His body continued charging forward for several meters more, collapsing only after he lost consciousness.


    Absolute Yang Finger was incomparably domineering. The force shot out concentrated instead of dispersing, resulting in an incredibly powerful pinpoint and deadly attack. Being executed using Ye Yuan''s Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm strength, its lethality obviously could not be underestimated.


    Of course, Absolute Yang Finger was not without any weaknesses. The biggest flaw was that it took too long to charge up. That was also the reason why Ye Yuan was slower by a beat when saving Lu-er just now.


    In reality, if Chou Ying recklessly tangled with Ye Yuan in close proximity, leaving Ye Yuan unable to charge up his full strength, he might have a slim chance of survival.


    But the various means used by Ye Yuan had long made Chou Ying wanted to withdraw from the fight. Especially when Ye Yuan had sent him flying with only one finger. This shocked Chou Ying''s state of mind greatly that made him wanted to flee at all cost.


    Yet this attempt to escape gave Ye Yuan the chance to charge up.


    From the beginning, Ye Yuan looked as if he was careless. But in reality, he advanced gradually, entrenching himself firmly at every step.


    First, he used words to agitate Chou Ying, disrupting his state of heart. Next, he displayed Instant Flash. Following which, he swallowed the Five Element Spirit Link Pill, using his finger to overpower his opponent''s sword, crushing Chou Ying''s confidence step by step. Finally, he launched this certain kill strike.


    It might have looked bland, but the entire process was filled with trepidation.


    Although Ye Yuan had a lot of hidden cards, his strength was still too weak. If it was not for the fact that he swallowed the Five Element Spirit Link Pill and unleashed the Absolute Yang Finger with his full strength, he would not have been able to do anything to Chou Ying.


    "Brother Tang, it is time to go," Ye Yuan said to Tang Yu lightly, not even bothering to look at Chou Ying who was lying on the ground.


    Tang Yu was shocked by Ye Yuan''s attack and stood there dumbfounded the entire time. Only when Ye Yuan called him did he recover from his shock.


    "Ah? Oh . . . Go . . . Go."


    Tang Yu mounted his horse awkwardly, and the three of them continued heading towards the Dan Wu Academy.


    . . . . . .


    Passing through this stretch of messy stone forest, their field of vision gradually widened. In front of their eyes was a vast plain, and they were able to indistinctly make out what looks like multi-storied pavilions.


    It was the Dan Wu Academy!


    The State of Qin established itself through martial arts, with a strong emphasis on the Martial Dao. However, this Dan Wu Academy was not established by the State of Qin.


    The domain south of the Endless Forest was hailed as the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations. There were a total of ten nations, and the State of Qin was only one of them. The reason why they were collectively known as the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations was that these ten nations were all under the jurisdiction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect; the Dan Wu Academy was the outer sect establishment of the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect established its sect fundamentally with alchemy; even so, the sect''s internal hierarchy could be divided into the Pill Faction and the Martial Faction. This was why the outer sect establishment was named the Dan Wu Academy. 1


    Just as the three of them entered the gates and were about to head to the residential area, they were stopped by a bunch of people.


    "Yoh! Isn''t this the Ten Thousand Years Last Place? Well, aren''t you a tough one. When they sent you out, you were clearly breathing in but not breathing out. To think you had actually returned alive and kicking," the person in front of them exclaimed, clearly with sarcasm.


    He was called Fei Qingping, a loyal lackey of Wan Yuan. Ye Yuan''s predecessor was poisoned because of competing with this fellow and ended up losing his life.


    These several people in front of them all came from ordinary backgrounds. In the Dan Wu Academy, in order for those with ordinary backgrounds to obtain additional resources, many would choose to attach themselves to figures from the noble families. Only those who truly had outstanding talent would be heavily groomed by the academy.


    "Good dogs don''t get underfoot, get lost." Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. Would he not be demeaning his own status to act seriously against a dog?


    "You! Ye Yuan, looks like your skin is itching again!" For someone like Fei Qingping, it was a taboo for other people to scold him a dog.


    "With just you?" Ye Yuan asked expressionlessly.


    "Yoh.After not seeing you for a few days, you became even more brain-damaged. You First Level Essence Qi Realm . . . Yii . . . How''s that possible? Y-you are already at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm?" Fei Qingping had only just sized him up, and could not help but to draw a cold breath. Ye Yuan was originally at the bottom place. After a few days of not seeing him, he actually rose two level consecutively, stepping into the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Fei Qingping still thought that he had seen wrongly, and he checked closely again before realizing that Ye Yuan was indeed already at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Wasn''t this a little too heaven-defying?


    "Are your dog-eyes blind? Still can''t tell after staring for so long?" Ye Yuan''s words once again made the corner of Fei Qingping''s mouth twitched.


    However, at this moment, Fei Qingping had already recovered from the initial shock and thought of a certain possibility.


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan''s father, Ye Hang, was an Alchemy Grandmaster. If he spared no expenses, pulling his son up by two small cultivation realms was not something incomprehensible.


    As a matter of fact, there were plenty of methods to suddenly raise strength in this manner. But the price would be to sacrifice one''s potential.


    It was said that there was an evil technique called Ghee Empowerment. The empowered individual could even directly break through the Essence Qi Realm and reach the Spirit Condensation Realm. But the price of this sort of empowerment was that it would no longer be possible for the person to increase his strength throughout his lifetime.


    Only a few days had passed, yet Ye Yuan actually reached the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Ye Hang should have known that his son''s talent was inadequate; therefore, he was afraid his son would be bullied. So he used a method similar to the Ghee Empowerment to raise him by two levels.


    Linking all of these together, Fei Qingping gave a cold laugh in his heart. A rookie like this, forget about being at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, even if he were at the Fourth Level, at the Fifth Level, Ye Yuan would not be his match.


    Fei Qingping was at Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, higher than Ye Yuan by one stage. Thus, he naturally had no need to fear him.


    "Hehehe. It''s great to have a good father. Poisoned to such extent, and yet you still didn''t die. Even increasing strength becomes so simple. This is really an era for competing with fathers!" Fei Qingping said mockingly.


    Ye Yuan knew what Fei Qingping was thinking right away, but he obviously would not explain to him. Instead, he smiled and said, "That''s right. I can compete using my father, but can you? I heard that your father is a watchdog for other people, using connections to let you entered the Dan Wu Academy. But who would have thought that after coming here, you would also become a watchdog. Indeed, a son will inherit his father''s career! One gate and two watchdogs; impressive, impressive!"


    Ye Yuan learned from his predecessor''s memories that this Fei Qingping''s father was the confidant of Wan Donghai, and he entered the academy through the Wan Family''s connections. Otherwise, with his talent, he could not possibly join the academy.


    It would be wrong to think that he and Tang Yu were both the same, being at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Fei Qingping was two years older than Tang Yu. He was also a commoner but had the support of the Wan Family''s resources. Yet, this Fei Qingping was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. In the future, at best he would be at the early stage Spirit Condensation Realm, or he might just even be stuck at the Essence Qi Realm.


    ''You . . .!" Fei Qingping''s lungs were about to explode in anger. Ye Yuan repeatedly calling him dog made him lose all of his face.


    Fei Qingping looked at his companions, and even though nobody laughed out loud, he could tell from everyone''s face that they were all just barely holding their laughter back.


    "What about me? You want to bite me?" Ye Yuan stretched out an arm, and with a smile, he said, "Here, for you to bite."


    "Hahaha!" This time around, everyone could not bear it any longer, and they all started to laugh.


    Watching everyone ridiculed him, Fei Qingping face turned into the color of a pig''s liver.


    "Ye Yuan! I want to issue a deathmatch to you! Accept it if you have the guts!" Fei Qingping pointed at Ye Yuan angrily.


    The Dan Wu Academy did not forbid private battles among student. Instead, they tacitly accepted the friction between students. However, there was a point to take note, which was under no circumstances were they allowed to kill someone without permission from the academy. Otherwise, the person would face the wrath of the academy.


    However, if both parties agreed to set a life-and-death contract, not only academy will not stop it, an instructor would even be sent to host the deathmatch.


    Ye Yuan revealed a surprised expression and asked, "You really want to carry out a deathmatch?"


    "Scared? If you are scared, then kneel and kowtow three times loudly for me. Afterward, say ''I''m a dog'' three times!" Fei Qingping thought that Ye Yuan was scared and continued to goad him.


    Previously, he also used this sort of tactic to make Ye Yuan agreed to the previous competition.


    Ye Yuan stretched his ear out and pretended he did not hear clearly, asking, "Say what three times?"


    "Say ''I''m a dog'' three times!" Right when the words left Fei Qingping''s mouth, he realized he fell for it.


    "Hahaha!"


    The surrounding people laughed out loud again.


    Fei Qingping wished he could give himself two tight slaps. He shouted angrily, "Ye Yuan, you coward! Playing this sort of little games when you don''t dare to fight!"


    "Good dog, so obedient! Your Grandpa Ye has never looked at the owner before hitting the dog. Since you delivered yourself to my door, I will hit for your owner to see," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

 Chapter 25: Deathmatch

    Chapter 25: Deathmatch


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Have you heard about it? The Yellow Rank''s first ranking from the bottom, the one hailed as the Ten Thousand Years Last Place, Ye Yuan, had just signed a life-and-death contract with someone."


    "Of course I''ve heard. Don''t you think that he''s tired of living? However, it''s been over two years since a life-and-death contract had appeared in the academy. This is considered news big enough for everyone to discuss for some time."


    "Yeah, it''s been two years and five months now. The previous life-and-death contract was signed by Senior Apprentice Brother Long. Back then, he was also a Yellow Rank student, yet he triumphed against his opponent who was two minor realms higher than him. I''m afraid that back then, nobody would have thought that he could charge to the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor after two years."


    "That is true. Senior Apprentice Brother Long didn''t even reveal his abilities completely back then. Ever since he finished off his opponent in that deathmatch, he became unstoppable. charging all the way through into the Heaven Rank, and finally being at the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor.


    "Hey, do you think that this punk Ye Yuan can also defeat someone stronger than him and finish off his opponent? Rumors have it that this fellow only used a few days to advance two levels, and he actually went straight from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm."


    "No way! How can he be compared to Senior Apprentice Brother Long? Back then, even though Senior Apprentice Brother Long was low-key, he wasn''t weak to this extent. Advancing two levels at once? Don''t you know that fellow, Ye Yuan, entered the academy through an enormous backdoor? His father is one of the few Alchemy Grandmasters within our State of Qin. With his means, what''s so strange about pulling the shots and helping his son improved by two levels? This sort of advancement is all empty, so what combat power can there be?"


    "That is true. I heard that this fellow had already entered the academy for half a year. If he could advance, he would have done so long ago and would not wait till now. Now that I look at it, it is most likely he used a secret technique to raise his strength."


    "Hehehe. That fellow really doesn''t know life from death. Supposedly, he competed in neutralizing poison with that Fei Qingping, but he ended up almost poisoned to death. His father is pretty impressive to have been able to save him. Yet he is courting death again right after returning to the academy. Do you think this fellow''s brain is missing a screw?"


    The Dan Wu Academy divided strength into four ranks of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping both belonged in the Yellow Rank.


    Initially, the academy''s attention was concentrated mainly on the Heaven Rank. Very few people paid attention to topics pertaining to people of the Yellow Rank. However, after Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping signed the life-and-death contract, it attracted a great deal of attention and became major news in the entire academy.


    Even though the academy silently acknowledged the competitions and fights between students, it would not permit any death. There was once a student who relied on his family''s illustrious background and killed somebody in the Dan Wu Academy. The end result was that he was murdered forcefully by the academy, bearing no room for discussion. In the end, that particular noble family did not even dare to make any noise.


    But a life-and-death contract was different. The instructors would not make a move no matter who live or die.


    In the entire Dan Wu Academy, everyone knew the one in the first place in the Martial Roll of Honor was Long Tang. But not everybody knew the person in the last place was Ye Yuan. However, this life-and-death contract quickly spread Ye Yuan''s reputation, almost reaching Long Tang''s level.


    Of course, the majority was like how these two people were discussing, snorting in derision at Ye Yuan''s brain-damaged actions.


    Ye Yuan''s rapid improvement in strength was also naturally one of the focal points. But nobody thought that it was something he cultivated out by himself. Everyone felt that it was surely Ye Hang who used some secret technique to pull the shots in order to help it grow, letting him reached the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Hence, everyone''s appraisal of Ye Yuan was that he was brain-damaged, foolish, and rushing to meet King Yama.


    Just as these two people were discussing, someone suddenly said in a low voice, "Yiii? Look over there. Isn''t that Ye Yuan?"


    "That''s him? He doesn''t look like someone who is brain-damaged."


    "Sigh. Who would write brain-damaged on their faces?


    "That''s true. The deathmatch is three days later. Where is he going instead of making preparations?"


    "He probably knows that it''s hopeless to do anything right now. Being at the first place from the bottom, no matter how heaven-defying, he can''t possibly jump ranks to defeat an opponent one level higher than him? I heard that because Fei Qingping is older by two years, he is already at the top 10 in Yellow Rank."


    "Something is wrong. The direction he is heading to seems to be the Scripture Library. Is he trying to hug Buddha''s feet in his hour of need?"


    "Hehehe. How can Buddha''s leg be that easy to hug? Yiii? He was stopped by someone. That person seemed to be Wan Yuan who just advanced to Earth Rank."


    "Oh yeah. You see that girl beside Wan Yuan? Wow.That''s my goddess, Liu Ruoshui. If she will speak even a word to me, I would die happy!"


    "Look at your starstruck expression, but yeah, Liu Ruoshui is really beautiful . . ."


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan was about to head to the Scripture Library.


    His top-grade predecessor was too prodigious. Everything he heard during classes was all bits and pieces without much useful information. Ye Yuan needed to find some martial techniques to deal with the situation.


    Ye Yuan had countless martial techniques on hand, but he truly did not have anything suitable for a person at the Essence Qi Realm to cultivate. With his position in his previous life, how could Essence Qi Realm martial techniques, regardless of how exceptional, enter his eyes?


    Who would have thought that he would encounter Wan Yuan on the way to the Scripture Library?


    Looks like Wan Yuan was intentionally waiting for him. As for Liu Ruoshui by Wan Yuan''s side, Ye Yuan naturally was not strangers with her. A few days ago, he competed with Fei Qingping precisely because of this woman.


    "What a coincidence! Isn''t this Young master Ye? Where are you rushing to so hurriedly? To reincarnate?" Wan Yuan was full of smiles, but his eyes were as if looking at a dead person.


    Ye Yuan sneered unceasingly towards Wan Yuan''s impatient mentality. Wan Yuan determined that Ye Yuan was definitely going to be dead this time, so he came in advance to taunt him.


    After the deathmatch, Ye Yuan would surely be dead. Where would Wan Yuan go to find this sort of pleasure after this?


    Looking at Wan Yuan''s appearance, Ye Yuan no longer hurried towards the Scripture Library. With a smile, he said, "That''s right, to reincarnate. But it''s to send you off for reincarnation."


    Hearing this, Wan Yuan laughed out loud and said, "Send me off to reincarnate? Hahaha! I''m standing right here. Send me to reincarnate if you can! You can''t possibly think that just because you cultivated to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm through some unorthodox means, you can challenge me?"


    Liu Ruoshui who was by the side also covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, thinking that Ye Yuan was very amusing.


    This Liu Ruoshui''s every action carried a trace of seductive charm, able to stir that desire lying in every man''s heart. The male students in the Dan Wu Academy were all hot-blooded youths. If their willpower were not steadfast, how could they withstand this sort of natural seductive charm?


    His predecessor was only a very foolish and naive child. His strength was also weak to the extreme. How could he withstand Liu Ruoshui''s charms?


    Back then, Liu Ruoshui was by his side, behaving neither friendly nor aloof for a period of time, and his predecessor completely fell for it. Afterward, Liu Ruoshui used a few small tricks, and his predecessor got hooked obediently, losing his life just like that.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wan, this Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is an interesting man. He''s clearly a miserable wretch, yet he tries to learn from others like a toad lusting after a swan. His strength is clearly poor, yet he wants to slap his face until it''s swollen to look impressive. He''s about to duel with someone, yet he is even threatening you now. Don''t you think it is funny?" Liu Ruoshui was beautiful like a flower, yet her words were bitterly sarcastic.


    In order to hook Ye Yuan in the past, she naturally had to pretend to be weak and pitiful. Now that Ye Yuan was about to duel with Fei Qingping, he was already a dead man. So she no longer needed to humor Ye Yuan. She fully expressed out the contempt and condescension in her heart.

 Chapter 26: Grabbing Air

    Chapter 26: Grabbing Air


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Now that Liu Ruoshui and Wan Yuan showed up together, it was clear what they were trying to convey. Before this, not many people knew that the academy''s Earth rank goddess had already walked so intimately with Wan Yuan.


    By bringing Liu Ruoshui here, Wan Yuan wanted to humiliate Ye Yuan by letting him see the woman he dreamed of was already walking together with his rival.


    He was looking forward to Ye Yuan''s expressions of resentment, shame, as well as regret. But Ye Yuan''s reaction disappointed him, as not one of these expressions appeared on Ye Yuan''s face.


    From the start till the end, Ye Yuan never even looked at Liu Ruoshui, treating her like air. And it was precisely being ignored by Ye Yuan that angered Liu Ruoshui, making her words just now so venomous.


    Liu Ruoshui was rather confident in her appearance. In her opinion, Ye Yuan should be groveling right now, begging her in tears not to go.


    If it was his predecessor, he might really have lost all control and did just that. But sadly, the Ye Yuan now was no longer the Ye Yuan of the past. With Ye Yuan''s status in his previous life, what kind of beauty he had not seen before? It was impossible to try to use such a cheap tactic to seduce him.


    Ye Yuan gave Liu Ruoshui an emotionless glance and said, "A swan? Aren''t you overthinking things? At best, you are a defeathered chicken. How can you be compared with a noble animal such as a swan? How can a true proud daughter of heaven spare any thoughts to seduce men? When have you seen Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flirt with other men? Goddesses all have their own pride and wouldn''t be the way you are."


    Liu Ruoshui was a prideful person. In the Dan Wu Academy, she was always an existence surrounded by a group of admirers. When had anyone ever compared her to a defeathered chicken?


    Liu Ruoshui was so angry that her willowy eyebrows were almost vertical. Yet, she could not refute it, because the Senior Apprentice Sister Feng mentioned by Ye Yuan was indeed an existence far beyond her reach.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Feng was called Feng Zhiruo, a true proud daughter of heaven within the Dan Wu Academy. Not only was she a beauty who could cause the downfall of countries, but she was also among the top three in both Alchemy Roll of Honor and Martial Roll of Honor with strength not at all inferior to Long Tang. She was a person that a woman like Liu Ruoshui could not compare to.


    Feng Zhiruo never bothered with pursuers, something different from Liu Ruoshui. She was a famous ice beauty in the Dan Wu Academy.


    In comparison, Liu Ruoshui was much more popular because she did not reject her pursuers. So she appeared very warm. Also, she extremely relished the feeling of being sought after by everyone.


    "Hmph! How stubborn! I will let Fei Qingping take good care of you during the deathmatch!" In Liu Ruoshui''s opinion, it was not that Ye Yuan was not willing to look at her, but it was because he was forcefully controlling himself after finding out the truth.


    "Hahaha. Then there is no need for you to worry. Did the two of you come to find me just to say this? Since you are done, I won''t entertain you anymore."


    After saying these words, Ye Yuan directly walked passed them.


    "Who permitted you to leave?" Wan Yuan''s face fell, and he made a move to grab Ye Yuan. But who would have thought he only grabbed the air, not even touching the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeve.


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, he was already several meters away. He even waved to the two of them with his back facing them and strutted away, angering Wan Yuan until his face turned green.


    "Hiss . . . Was that . . . Instant Flash?" Wan Yuan frowned and asked.


    "That''s right. It was indeed Instant Flash." Liu Ruoshui lightly furrowed her brows. Clearly, she was also stunned by Ye Yuan''s move.


    "Looks like there is really something odd about this punk. Father clearly arranged for an assassin, yet Ye Yuan simply swaggered into the academy. I don''t know whether that assassin was too stupid, or was that punk really pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger."


    "In my opinion, it is likely the former. He is only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. No matter how powerful his Instant Flash is, most likely he will not be able to escape from that assassin, right?" Liu Ruoshui interacted quite a bit with Ye Yuan before, so she had some understanding of him. In her eyes, Ye Yuan was just a useless person.


    "Junior Apprentice Sister Liu''s words make sense. But I wonder since when did he learn Instant Flash? With this move, wouldn''t he be in an undefeatable position in his deathmatch with Qingping?"


    Wan Yuan had always been competing with Ye Yuan since they were young. So he understood Ye Yuan the best. After thinking about it, Liu Ruoshui''s words still made more sense.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wan is panicking because of concern. From the way I see it, Ye Yuan only learned Instant Flash by a fluke. The only move he can rely on is most likely just this. Otherwise, why would he be rushing to the Scripture Library at this time? Just now, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan was only careless and didn''t use your full strength. That''s why he could get away. Even though Instant Flash is impressive, it is ultimately only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique and isn''t invincible." Liu Ruoshui had already recovered from her astonishment and returned to being a soul-mesmerizing goddess.


    Wan Yuan had long lusted after Liu Ruoshui. Seeing Liu Ruoshui chased after him like this made him drunk with pleasure. Just now, he indeed had not used his full strength. It was about 70% power, yet Ye Yuan still managed to dodge it.


    However, strength was still the key to victory. Movement techniques were ultimately auxiliary. What Liu Ruoshui said was right. Instant Flash is not all-powerful. Naturally, some techniques could counter it.


    Except that this move from Ye Yuan raised Wan Yuan''s alert. He would have to go back and properly warn Fei Qingping to not underestimate his opponent.


    "Looks like Junior Apprentice Sister Liu''s heart is as clear as a mirror. This time around, no matter what, we can''t let this brat live on anymore. Looks like we have to go back and prepare a few hidden cards for Fei Qingping."


    . . . . . .


    After Ye Yuan shook those two off, he went directly to the Scripture Library.


    As far as he was concerned, Ye Yuan did not mind revealing Instant Flash. That was not what he was relying on anyway. Furthermore, what he just displayed was only at the great success stage.


    Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was naturally on the Absolute Yang Finger. But this technique could not be displayed in front of outsiders, or else he would get into a lot of trouble. Hence, he came to the Scripture Library in order to choose a martial technique.


    The martial techniques in the Scripture Library were not too profound. The Tranquil Cloud Sect naturally would not release profound martial techniques out into the secular world. But to Ye Yuan, these martial techniques were sufficient.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I would like to enter the Scripture Library to choose two martial techniques," Ye Yuan requested and handed over his identity token to the Senior Apprentice Brother on duty.


    The Senior Apprentice Brother who was guarding the Scripture Library was Zhao Chunyang of the Earth Rank. When he saw the token with the symbol indicating Yellow Rank status, disdain could be seen from his eyes.


    The identity token was created by the Dan Wu Academy which represented one''s status as a student. As long as one inserted a bit of essence energy, one would be able to check the identity of the person the token belongs to.


    "Ye Yuan?" Zhao Chunyang seemed to feel that he heard that name somewhere before. After pondering a while, he came to a sudden realization and asked, "You are the academy''s last place, Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and replied, "If there isn''t a second Ye Yuan, then that would be me."


    Ye Yuan was not bothered by the title of the last place as that was all in the past.


    Hearing this, Zhao Chunyang became interested. Handing the token back to Ye Yuan, he held on to him and asked curiously, "You are a big favorite within the academy now. The last place actually dares to sign a life-and-death contract with others. Just what were you thinking?"


    Ye Yuan also did not intend to keep a distance away from Zhou Chunyang, so he smiled and answered, "Others already rode onto my head. I can''t possibly behave like a coward. Don''t you think so?"


    "Hahaha. That''s true. But your strength . . ." Zhao Chunyang was an outspoken person and was not afraid that other people would feel awkward.


    "Hahaha. That''s why I''m here to choose martial techniques."


    "Sharpening your spear at the last moment, even if it''s not sharp, it is at least shiny. These words are not wrong, but there are only three days left. Isn''t that a little too short?"


    "That''s something that can''t be helped. I believe Senior Apprentice Brother is also aware that I neglected cultivation in the past which led to my poor foundation. Even if it is only three days, it is better than not doing anything. Isn''t that right?"


    Zhao Chunyang sized up Ye Yuan once again and suddenly smiled, and then he said, "Interesting. You seem to be quite different from the rumors. Go in then. You have two hours."


    "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother."


    Zhao Chunyang patted Ye Yuan''s shoulders and said with a smile, "Choose well. I will cheer for you when the time comes."

 Chapter 27: Stacking Waves Layered Palm

    Chapter 27: Stacking Waves Layered Palm


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Dan Wu Academy''s Scripture Library was divided into three sections. The second section was only opened for those who were in the Spirit Condensation Realm. The current Ye Yuan naturally had no right to enter.


    The first section collected Tier 1 martial techniques. It was just perfect for the current Ye Yuan to use.


    The entire section was packed with bookshelves. There were cultivation laws, martial techniques, as well as books related to Tier 1 Medicinal Pills. They were sorted out into categories and encompassed everything.


    These books were all stone rubbings. 1The originals were naturally kept at Tranquil Cloud Sect Headquarters.


    Concerning cultivation laws, Ye Yuan was already cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Naturally, there wasn''t any need to cultivate others.


    And these books on medicinal pills did not even count as introductory to Ye Yuan. So they were automatically filtered out by him.


    Only Tier 1 martial techniques were useful to the current Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan went to the area of bookshelves where martial techniques were kept and started to search for a martial technique suitable for him.


    Casually picking up a book, he saw Blazing Palm was written on it. It was a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique with fire attribute.


    Flipping through the contents, Ye Yuan shook his head. This sort of martial technique was too crude. There was no depth at all, and the power was too weak as well.


    Even though the book bragged until flowers were cascading from the sky, with Ye Yuan''s insights, why would he eye this sort of martial technique?


    Placing the Blazing Palm book back onto the shelf, Ye Yuan casually looked through several martial techniques. They were mainly martial techniques on the same level as Blazing Palm, flashy without substance.


    As time slowly passed, Ye Yuan already looked through several dozen books, yet not even a single one entered his eyes.


    Ye Yuan could not help but sigh, thinking that this Tranquil Cloud Sect was so stingy, using these common goods to put up a front.


    But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Cultivation laws and martial techniques were the foundation of a sect. How could truly important cultivation laws be casually placed out in the secular world?


    Ye Yuan knew that it was impossible to find a martial technique he wanted on this rack of shelves, so he walked deeper in.


    The martial techniques on this rack of shelves were clearly much lesser, but the quality increased by a grade. They basically reached high-grade Tier 1.


    Flipping through several books, Ye Yuan still did not encounter anything he was satisfied with.


    It was not that he had nothing better to do, but instead, he wanted to see if there were any beneficial insights within these martial techniques.


    To Ye Yuan, a middle-grade Tier 1 and a superior-grade Tier 1 did not have too much of a difference. A lower grade martial technique might not be bad, while a higher grade martial technique might not be good.


    Just take Instant Flash for instance. It was only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique, but this martial technique had some distinctive aspect. So Ye Yuan tinkered with it.


    Ye Yuan had just seen this Instant Flash martial technique. Briefly skimming through it, he knew that the insight of its creator was still too low. What he had altered was already much stronger than what was written in the book. Obviously, there wasn''t any more meaning to researching it.


    Walking further in, there were no longer books on the shelves but a scattered bunch of jade pieces. Ye Yuan know that this was where the essence of the first layer laid.


    Highly profound martial techniques could not be recorded down on paper. Only jade pieces could record or replicate it.


    Ye Yuan used his essence energy to inspect several jade pieces. These martial techniques were all high-grade Tier 1 martial techniques. These were actually already very rare.


    Any single piece of these jade, when placed in the outside world, were objects worth cities. After all, Essence Qi Realm martial artists made up the largest portion of the population in the State of Qin, and the vast majority of them cultivated either low-grade or middle-grade martial techniques.


    One high-grade martial technique jade piece to them was something they could only dream of. It was enough for their strength to immediately increase by one stage.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have much interest in these high-grade martial techniques. He only looked a while before putting them back.


    Ye Yuan had already walked to the deepest part of the first layer. If he still could not find a martial technique he was satisfied with, he could only settle with these high-grade martial techniques.


    On the last shelf were only three jade pieces.


    Clearly, these three jade pieces were not the same as the others.


    Ye Yuan picked up the first jade piece, injected essence energy, and the information within the jade piece reflected in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Thousand Feet Leap, a movement technique!


    When mastered to the large success stage, it could shrink the distance to inches and traverse a thousand feet in an instant.


    "A bit interesting."


    Ye Yuan inspected the details of the Thousand Feet Leap. This movement technique had its unique points. Compared to Instant Flash, the Thousand Feet Leap''s movement in a straight line was more outstanding. It was somewhat useful regardless of whether using it to sneak attack or flee.


    This movement technique already reached the superior-grade Tier 1.


    Placing the Thousand Feet Leap jade piece back on the shelf, Ye Yuan picked up a second jade piece. It was a rarely seen lightning-attribute martial technique which was extremely difficult to learn. Grade wise, it was similar to the Thousand Feet Leap.


    Although it might be difficult, it did not draw much interest from Ye Yuan.


    He casually picked up the third jade piece and investigated it.


    "En? Stacking Waves Layered Palm . . . Incomplete martial technique? Estimated to be at least Tier 3 and above. It''s just that it is incomplete, causing its current grade to fall to the high-grade Tier 1 category?"


    Ye Yuan was attracted by the jade piece''s introduction.


    But it was not because this martial technique''s grade was high. Tier 3 martial techniques were not exactly high-tier martial techniques to Ye Yuan.


    What truly attracted him was that this martial technique was a martial technique that paid great attention to the way strength was utilized. When mastered, it could release multiple times, even several dozen times of one''s power. The might of it was very substantial.


    The introduction on this jade piece should have been left behind by a powerful figure from either the Tranquil Cloud Sect or the Dan Wu Academy. If one could execute this technique to its limits, jumping ranks during battle would simply be like eating rice and drinking water." Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.


    Naturally, Ye Yuan also knew that this kind of martial technique would become harder to improve on as it progressed further. The difficulty of it would increase multiple times.


    Simply put, it was easy to release twice the power. But the difficulty would increase for four times. After that, it becomes eight times, 16 times, and even 32 times. The further one advanced, the more terrifying it became. Naturally, the difficulty would also become increasingly immense.


    Even so, this was a rather amazing martial technique. But sadly, it was way too incomplete.


    . . . . . .


    "En? You chose this martial technique?" Looking at the martial technique Ye Yuan chose, Zhao Chunyang was very surprised.


    "That''s right." Ye Yuan long knew that Zhao Chunyang would be shocked.


    "But . . . This martial technique might be powerful, but it''s incomplete."


    Zhao Chunyang tried persuading Ye Yuan.


    "I know, but this martial technique looks very impressive. I will put up with it first. We will talk about it again in the future," Ye Yuan smiled and then replied him.


    "Not only it is incomplete, but also exceedingly difficult to learn. You know Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang, don''t you? He also once tried to learn this technique, but in the end, he gave up. This technique looks amazing, but it''s an arduous yet fruitless labor. Three days . . . Even if you are brilliant, at best you can learn the First Layer Wave. It wouldn''t be much use against your opponent, right?"


    Actually, Zhao Chunyang''s words were already very implicit. In his opinion, even if Ye Yuan spent a month''s time, he might not be able to learn the First Layer Wave.


    What was the concept of the First Layer Wave? Just the increment of two times the power simply could not compensate for the difference in strength between Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping.


    Rather than that, it might be better to just learn a more practical martial technique.


    Ye Yuan had a rather good impression towards this Zhao Chunyang. At least he did not see himself as a joke like the others. So he smiled and then said, "Many thanks for your concern, Senior Apprentice Brother. But I have my own plans. As for the deathmatch three days from now, I think I can handle it."


    "This . . . Alright then. Since you insist, I will not persuade you anymore. Try your best." Zhao Chunyang shook his head and could only sigh.

 Chapter 28: Each Preparing for Battle

    Chapter 28: Each Preparing for Battle


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At a hidden location in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Two people were currently discussing in a low voice.


    "Qingping, what do you think about your deathmatch with Ye Yuan?"


    "What''s there to think about? Just kill him! This punk''s life is really tough! The last time he was sent back, he was already not breathing. Who would have thought that after a few days, he would be alive and kicking? This time, I will definitely not give him any chance."


    Fei Qingping''s words were filled with contempt as if full of disdain towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan and Wan Yuan grew up competing with one another, so the latter was also naturally very clear on Ye Yuan''s nature as well as his strength. Therefore, he did not feel any burden to kill Ye Yuan during the deathmatch.


    With regards to Wan Yuan''s question, Fei Qingping felt that it was very unusual, so he could not help but asked, "Young Master Wan, listening to your words, you can''t possibly be thinking that I will lose to him during this battle, right?"


    Wan Yuan frowned and said, "I would not go so far as to say lose to him. I just feel that this time around, after Ye Yuan returned, he is rather unusual. Like . . . somewhat different from the past."


    " Sigh. I was wondering what it was. Of course, he''s different, but isn''t it just rising by two minor realms? However, from the way I see it, he will probably stay like this for the rest of his life. Hahaha! "


    Although Fei Qingping was older than Wan Yuan by two years, he always treated the latter as the boss.


    Seeing how Fei Qingping was looking down on Ye Yuan like that, Wan Yuan felt that it was very inappropriate, and wanted to rebuke him. Yet, he also felt that Fei Qingping''s opinion was correct.


    That joke who was like rotten mud that could not even support a wall; could he overturn the heaven?


    Although Fei Qingping was not some extraordinary talent, he was an experienced Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist, merely a step away from the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    The Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm and the Third Level Essence Qi Realm were not even on the same level. Thus, Fei Qingping had a good reason to look down on Ye Yuan.


    This small step was not so easy to cross over.


    The Dan Wu Academy was an academy for elites. Practically anyone here, when placed in the outside world, could jump ranks during battle.


    The resources they enjoyed, martial skills and techniques they learned, as well as guidance from accomplished teachers, all of these were not what those from the outside world could compare with.


    However, within the Dan Wu Academy, jumping ranks during a battle was a challenging thing to do. Unless one really had extraordinary talent.


    If Long Tang or Feng Zhiruo was only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, Wan Yuan had no doubt that they could jump ranks to defeat Fei Qingping.


    But if it were Ye Yuan, even if he were to beat Wan Yuan to death, he would not believe it.


    Because he understood Ye Yuan too well!


    After a moment of silence, Wan Yuan still shook his head and said, "Qingping, the deathmatch this time, you can only win. Defeat will not be tolerated. Even if Ye Yuan is only a rat, you have to go all out to defeat him. Bear in mind that you must not take him lightly, understood?"


    Looking at Fei Qingping''s careless attitude regarding his words, Wan Yuan finally became angry. "If you still have this attitude, I will eliminate you first! You are not only representing yourself in this match. You will also be representing the Wan Family, the Drunken Star Manor! If you are defeated by Ye Yuan, where do you want my father and me to put our faces?!"


    Wan Yuan''s roar surprised Fei Qingping for a moment; his brain unable to react in time.


    But one thing was clear, and that was Wan Yuan really got angry!


    For Wan Yuan to be so concerned with Ye Yuan, that was something that had never happened before.


    "I-I understand, I will go all out to finish him!"


    Feeling Wan Yuan''s wrath, Fei Qingping did not dare to be arrogant and meekly promised this.


    With a sigh, Wan Yuan said, "Qingping, I know that you feel Ye Yuan isn''t even worth looking at. Actually, isn''t that the same for me? But this time around after he returned to the academy, I keep feeling that there''s something off."


    "Off? Off in what way?" Fei Qingping could not help but became curious after Wan Yuan said that.


    He knew that even though Wan Yuan was younger than him by two years, he was very prudent in doing things, just like his father.


    Regardless of whether it was talent or intelligence, Fei Qingping was much worse than Wan Yuan. That was why he was sincerely convinced to be his follower.


    "Today, I went to find him to destroy his spirit and give him some trouble. I used 70% of my power, but I failed to catch him! Who knows when that punk managed to learn Instant Flash and even trained it to the great success stage!"


    "What? Instant Flash?! Great success stage?! H-how is that possible?"


    Fei Qingping was startled. He apparently knew what Instant Flash at the great success stage meant. It meant that Ye Yuan was already standing at an undefeatable position.


    If it was like this, Wan Yuan''s warning was not an unnecessary action!


    As if he was confirming his exchange with Ye Yuan today, Wan Yuan mused for a moment before nodding his head, saying, "That''s right. It''s Instant Flash at the great success stage!"


    "I-isn''t that too shameless? How could he possibly manage to learn such profound footwork? Could it be a fluke?" Fei Qingping suddenly started to ramble incoherently.


    Wan Yuan said in a deep voice, "A fluke? Why don''t you try executing Instant Flash at the great success stage by luck for me to see?!"


    " . . ."


    "Actually, he stirred up a lot of trouble during his trip back to the capital. He even went to the Drunken Star Manor to make a scene, and Father was unable to do anything to him. This time around on the way back here, Father arranged for a Mosha assassin. Yet the result was that Ye Yuan actually arrived at the academy safely! That''s why I feel that there is something odd about Ye Yuan after he came back!"


    "Then . . . what should I do?" At this point, Fei Qingping was thoroughly panicking.


    Patting his shoulders, Wan Yuan slowly said, "Relax. Even if he is a little unusual, the difference in strength between the two of you can''t be made up! However, you can''t let down your guard during these three days. You have to make full use of all the time you have!"


    Hearing Wan Yuan said all these, Fei Qingping really did not dare to lower his guard this time. This battle was a deathmatch where life and death must be determined. Fei Qingping was not willing to treat his life jokingly.


    "Young Master Wan, just tell me what I have to do. I will absolutely listen to you!"


    Seeing how he really took things seriously, Wan Yuan took out a bottle of medicinal pills and placed it in front of Fei Qingping. He said, "This is the Essence Gathering Pills that my Father refined. Its effectiveness is 50% greater than Essence Qi Pills! These three days, you will use these pills to raise your strength. You must definitely break through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    Fei Qingping''s eyes lit up. If he could break through to Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, then his chances of victory would increase significantly. Just as Wan Yuan said, the difference in strength was not something that can easily be breached. A Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist versus a Third Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist; he really had no reason to lose!


    Immediately, Fei Qingping gave a deep bow and said gratefully, "Many thanks for Young Master Wan''s support!"


    Nodding his head, Wan Yuan acknowledged it calmly and continued saying, "Another thing. These three days, you also have to put all your effort into training the Lesser Capturing Hand. Use it to counter Instant Flash, and you will be in an invincible position.


    . . . . . .


    In a training room at the Dan Wu Academy.


    Ye Yuan stood quietly with his eyes tightly shut as if asleep.


    Ever since he looked at the jade piece, Ye Yuan was already standing here for close to two hours!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s eyes snapped open.


    Taking a step back, he then executed a palm movement!


    "Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave!"


    A burst of wind carried forward, and with a boom, a fleshy palm smashed onto the wall!


    A dent was made on the wall, but one could see it rapidly recovering with their naked eyes.


    Looking at the wall, Ye Yuan shook his head, "This Stacking Waves Layered Palm is indeed hard to train. No wonder Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao advised me to give up. I already used two hours to adjust the essence energy in my body, yet this palm still doesn''t have the effects of the First Layer Wave."


    Ye Yuan sighed. If Zhao Chunyang saw this, his jaws would definitely drop, followed by scolding Ye Yuan being an ungrateful wrench.


    One has to know, back then when Long Tan was training his martial technique, the First Layer Wave was only mastered after a month.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not mastered it yet, he was not far from mastering the First Layer Wave already. Furthermore, he merely used two hours.


    "Once more!" Ye Yuan was not discouraged. Following the original method stated, he started to circulate the essence energy within his body once again.

 Chapter 29: Wager

    Chapter 29: Wager


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm was actually a martial technique that creates a resonance between essence energy within the human body and heaven and earth essence energy, amplifying it in order to damage the enemies.


    Just like how tossing a rock into water will cause ripples to spread outwards.


    Describing it seemed easy, but to actually accomplish it was as hard as reaching the heaven.


    Heaven and earth essence energy was a vague and ethereal existence. In order to create a resonance, one needed to have an incredibly profound understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy.


    To martial artists, cultivating essence energy was instinctive. One would just need to gather essence energy according to their corresponding martial skill.


    It was merely a matter of knowing how to do something, but not understanding why.


    Although every martial artist cultivated essence energy, most likely no one would be able to say what exactly was essence energy.


    As cultivation realm increased, martial artists would gain a deeper understanding towards essence energy.


    When completely ignorant about essence energy, one could only go through non-stop training to be able to slowly grasp that sort of resonance in order to master Stacking Waves Layered Palm. That was the reason why this palm technique was so difficult to learn.


    Ye Yuan possessed an extremely high cultivation realm in his past life. Furthermore, he also had extremely great attainments in Alchemy Dao. That was why it was much easier for him to learn this technique.


    Slowly raising his right palm, a faint earthly-yellow glow started to condense on Ye Yuan''s palm, forming a tiny vortex.


    Releasing a palm strike, that faint yellow light spread out like water ripples.


    Peng!


    The wall sunk in heavily and the dent even deeper than previously.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm!


    Ye Yuan managed to execute it on his second palm strike!


    "Well, that''s the feeling alright. But it still isn''t that stable. Also, the execution time is too long. Looks like I still need to practice more," Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    . . . . . .


    In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    On this morning, the combat arena was surrounded by a lot of people that not even water could seep through.


    After three days of seething, virtually everyone in the Dan Wu Academy knew about Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping''s deathmatch.


    In this world, there was no lack of people who liked to watch a good show. It was the same everywhere.


    Even though the ones fighting in the deathmatch were just two small characters, it was still a deathmatch. It meant that one party would definitely die. Who would miss out on such a good show?


    After all, there had not been a deathmatch in the Dan Wu Academy for over two years.


    The deathmatch had not even started yet, but everyone was already discussing in groups of threes and fives.


    "Who do you guys think will win?"


    Another person looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Are you retarded? A Third Level Essence Qi Realm versus a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm; what''s there to guess? Do you think that Ye Yuan is Senior Brother Apprentice Long?"


    "Hehe. Who knows? Perhaps that Ye Yuan has something surprising up his sleeves. Don''t you know that he spent the past few days cultivating in a closed-door seclusion? Maybe when he appears, he would be at Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm already?" That person did not mind and laughed instead.


    His words were once again met with disdain. "What''s the use of hugging Buddha''s feet at the last moment? Ye Yuan isn''t the only one who went into a closed-door seclusion. That Fei Qingping also spent three days in a closed-door seclusion. I heard that Fei Qingping has been stuck at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm for a long time. This time around, who knows if he might directly break through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm. That Ye Yuan is definitely dead."


    "That''s not necessarily true! I heard that Ye Yuan managed to learn Instant Flash, and it''s even at the great success stage. This practically means that he is in an undefeatable position."


    "Instant Flash? What''s the use? Shitty combat power, low cultivation realm; don''t tell me he has to keep using Instant Flash? When his essence energy is finally depleted, wouldn''t he still be defeated? Furthermore, Instant Flash might be amazing, but it isn''t invincible, okay!"


    "I''m guessing that Ye Yuan is making up for his weaknesses during these three days of closed-door seclusion. It''s hard to increase cultivation realm in a short period of time, so it''s possible he''s training some amazing martial techniques. I heard that a few days before, Ye Yuan went to the Scripture Library. Oh right, wasn''t it Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao on duty then? Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, what martial technique did Ye Yuan choose?"


    Zhao Chunyang who was currently listening to the strength analysis did not expect the topic to suddenly switch to him.


    Hearing their question, he directly replied, "It''s the Stacking Waves Layered Palm."


    "Pfft! I already said so. This Ye Yuan is outrageous! Plenty to choose from, yet he just had to choose this martial technique. Even Senior Apprentice Brother Long spent a month before he managed to master the First Layer Wave. Ye Yuan is too confident. Does he think he''s stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long? Even if he is stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long, how long does he need to master the First Layer Wave? Half a month? Ten days? Seven days? Hahaha!" The more that person spoke, the funnier he found it, and he could not help but laugh out loud.


    "Uh. So it''s that martial technique? I was still hoping that he could create a miracle by becoming a dark horse, and finishing off that Fei Qingping. Looks like I was expecting too much. I reckon this deathmatch doesn''t have any more value to watch. That Ye Yuan is dead."


    ''I''ve long said that there isn''t anything worth watching, but you didn''t believe me. This Ye Yuan is just a silkpants whose father forcefully raised him by two cultivation realms. What combat power can he have? If it wasn''t a deathmatch, I wouldn''t even be bothered to come and watch. Make a guess, how many moves will Fei Qingping take to finish off Ye Yuan?"


    "That . . . Twenty moves?" this person said uncertainly.


    "Twenty moves? You are expecting too much! At best five moves!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, what do you think?" another person asked Zhao Chunyang.


    "Uh . . . That I''m not too sure. But I feel that it might not be impossible for Ye Yuan," Zhao Chunyang replied.


    Zhao Chunyang was not confident enough, but ever since encountering Ye Yuan that day, he felt that something would happen. But all of the signs clearly showed that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win. Zhao Chunyang did not know why he had this feeling either.


    That person thought he heard wrong and was just about to open his mouth when another voice sounded off from behind him.


    "Ten moves. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye wins!"


    That voice did not make any attempts to hide, and many of the surrounding people heard it.


    Muttering.


    That voice was like a bomb that just went off, and everyone glanced over in that direction.


    Before this, everyone''s opinions were one-sided; thinking that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win. The two who were predicting how many moves Ye Yuan would last before he loses were not in the minority.


    Therefore, this voice could be said to be very different, resulting in all the other discussions ceased.


    "Tang Yu, are you alright?" Someone recognized who it was. It was precisely Tang Yu who returned to the Dan Wu Academy with Ye Yuan. There was even a young lady beside him, who was Lu-er.


    "That''s right, Tang Yu. I''ve heard that you''ve been walking very closely with that moron recently. Is that why you also became retarded?"


    "Hahaha!"


    The matter of Tang Yu and Ye Yuan returning together obviously could not be hidden from others. It was dug out over these few days.


    Tang Yu emotionlessly swept a look over everyone and gave a cold smile. He then said, "100 Essence Qi Pills. Who dares to wager with me?"


    Tang Yu''s words once again made everyone silent, but their expressions were even more like they were looking at a fool.


    "Tang Yu, did you really become stupid?"


    "Enough crap. If I lose, I will pay each and every one of you 100 Essence Qi Pills. But if I win, each one of you will pay me 100 Essence Qi pills. If you don''t dare, then shut up!" At this moment, Tang Yu''s domineering air seeped out.


    As expected, the moment he said that most of the people immediately shut up.


    100 Essence Qi Pills were not a small amount. It was practically the amount of their usage for three months. Even though there were plenty of people who did not mind, it was still a large enough number to make the majority felt pain for several months.


    "Let''s wager then. Who''s scared of you? But there are at least several hundred people here. If you lose, can you afford to pay?" At this moment, those who were on good terms with Wan Yuan could not look on anymore, and one of them immediately jumped out and confronted Tang Yu.


    Tang Yu gave a cold laugh and took out a bottle of medicinal pills.


    "Transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill! Siii . . . All of them are transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills!" That person stared till his eyes nearly popped out.


    The value of one transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill could sufficiently match with ten ordinary high-grade Essence Qi Pills. These medicinal pills were all refined by Ye Yuan before he went into a closed-door seclusion. He long foresaw this scene, and so he decided to use this chance to make a windfall.


    "I will wager with you!"


    The audience turned towards the voice, only to see Wan Yuan walking in with Liu Ruoshui and Fei Qingping.

 Chapter 30: Allow You Three Moves

    Chapter 30: Allow You Three Moves


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "I will wager with you!"


    The moment Wan Yuan appeared, he brought with him an imposing air, affecting Tang Yu to the point he was out of breath.


    "Fine!" Tang Yu did not answer ambiguously and directly accepted it.


    "Since we are wagering, let''s play a little bigger!" Wan Yuan was smiling coldly at Tang Yu, making people felt that his scheme had succeeded.


    "How do you want to play?" Tang Yu gritted his teeth and asked.


    "One thousand pills! Transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills! How about it? Do you dare to play?" Seeing Tang Yu''s facial expression, he felt increasingly satisfied.


    Tang Yu seemed to have been scared by this figure as he revealed a difficult expression.


    "Although Ye Yuan is disappointing, his father Ye Hang is an Alchemy Grandmaster that everyone looks up to. It can''t be that you can''t even take out this bit of Essence Qi Pills, right?" Seeing Tang Yu''s expression, he became even more pleased with himself.


    "Fine! One thousand then! Do you think I''m scared of you?" Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said.


    "Hahaha! You got guts! Now, everybody heard that? If the time comes, and one goes back on his word, everyone will go to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion together to find Ye Hang," Wan Yuan shouted loudly.


    Many people saw Tang Yu''s expression and felt more confident despite having no basis.


    "I will bet too. 100 high-grade Essence Qi Pills!"


    "I will bet too."


    "Me too!"


    . . . . . .


    After hearing Ye Hang''s name, everyone was no longer worried that Ye Yuan would repudiate his debt. So they all verbally agreed to the wager one after another.


    After finding someone to be a witness, those participating in the wager signed on the paper one after another, and this matter was considered fixed.


    Looking at all these people''s signatures, Tang Yu was overjoyed.


    "Looks like Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is still the best. These people just lost their money. In the future, we won''t lack Essence Qi Pills anymore. There will be as many as we want!" Tang Yu thought to himself.


    Others might not know, but Tang Yu had seen with his own eyes how Ye Yuan used his Third Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation to kill a Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm assassin. How could he possibly be defeated by a minor character like Fei Qingping?


    Not everyone had the guts to participate in the wager. The final count of all those who signed the paper was more than 200 people. There was an enormous quantity of Essence Qi Pills at stake!


    If Ye Yuan really lost, this would be an absolutely devastating blow to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    But . . . they probably would not have that opportunity.


    Especially Wan Yuan this time around, he was definitely going to suffer a hefty loss.


    . . . . . .


    After this business was settled, it was already getting late. Fei Qingping slowly walked into the combat arena.


    "Yii? Fei Qingping is actually already at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "It''s true! Ye Yuan is definitely doomed now!"


    "Hahaha!That wager of 100 high-grade Essence Qi Pills just now was really a great haul!"


    Under the same circumstances, a difference of one realm would already decide everything. That was why everyone was not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    If these students initially still had a trace of faith in Ye Yuan, after seeing Fei Qingping''s Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm now, even that last trace of faith was gone.


    Listening to the public opinions, Fei Qingping felt very refreshed. The initial trace of worry in his heart was already wholly forgotten.


    All along, Fei Qingping had always been following behind Wan Yuan. Never had he thought that one day, he would also become everyone''s focus.


    After today, I will probably receive quite a few love letters from girls, right?Fei Qingping thought to himself.


    These past three days, Fei Qingping did not dare to slack off even the slightest.


    First, he used one day to break through the bottleneck. The Essence Gathering Pill''s effects were unexpectedly good, making him advanced to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm smoothly. Next, he went into a closed-door seclusion to train the Lesser Capturing Hand. Even though time was a little tight, under Wan Yuan''s guidance, there was some success.


    Under this situation, Fei Qingping could not even find a trace of the possibility of losing.


    "What time is it already? Why isn''t Ye Yuan here yet?"


    "He probably didn''t dare to come and ran away already. Hahaha . . ."


    "Losing face is better than losing his life. After all, he will die even if he comes. At least he can save his life by finding his father to shield him."


    It was already late, and everybody was already impatient from waiting. Under these sort of circumstances, everyone felt that Ye Yuan was too scared; that was why he did not dare to come.


    . . . . . .


    At a private viewing stand in the combat arena.


    Two young men between the ages of 17 and 18 years old, stood with their hands behind their backs.


    One with a domineering air soaring to the skies, while the other seemingly had a nonchalant attitude towards life.


    "To think that the great Martial Roll of Honor''s rank one would actually stoop to come watch this sort of small fight." That nonchalant looking man could not help but revealed a surprised expression after seeing the newcomer.


    Rank one in the Martial Roll of Honor; this person who was emanating a domineering air that reached the clouds was actually the legendary number one figure in the Dan Wu Academy, Long Tang.


    Long Tang did not have any intention to respond to the other party''s mocking. He knew that the person in front of him who looked laidback was actually an extremely nasty opponent.


    "Didn''t you, Martial Roll of Honor''s rank two, come as well?" Long Tang rebuked leisurely.


    This laidback looking man was actually rank two in the Martial Roll of Honor, Zuo Bugui!


    If there were other students around, they would undoubtedly be greatly astonished. Martial Roll of Honor''s rank one and rank two, appearing together to pay attention to a battle between rookies. This was completely inconceivable.


    "Hahaha! I can''t hold onto this rank two for long. Junior Apprentice Sister Feng is right on my heels. I''m afraid this rank two will have to change owners at the next Battle of Martial Roll of Honor." Zuo Bugui had a helpless expression.


    Long Tang did not make any remarks on this. He knew that with Zuo Bugui''s strength, one could not knead him as they wished. Even he himself has to be cautious when facing him.


    "It isn''t just the two of us. Su Yishan, Xu Qingfeng, those guys came too. Look at the grandstand opposite. After all, it''s been two years since a deathmatch has occurred. Even if it''s only two rookies, it isn''t strange to attract everyone over, right? Thinking back, weren''t we also rookies back then?" Long Tang said lightly.


    "Hehe. That''s true. Who wasn''t a rookie before? But that fellow Su Yishan and Wan Yuan have common interests. Is he here to watch a joke? After all, the Su Family and the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion don''t get along. With his personality, watching Ye Hang''s son get killed will definitely make him derive pleasure from others'' misfortunes." Zuo Bugui seemed to be very clear on the arrangement within the capital.


    "None of my business," Long Tang said indifferently.


    "Tsk. I knew you were like this! I know that you came here today because you wanted to see if the Stacking Waves Layered Palm that even you couldn''t master can be mastered by a rookie, right?" Zuo Bugui seemed to understand Long Tang very well, and he directly said out the purpose of Long Tang''s visit.


    Long Tang did not deny it. Nodding his head, he said, "Stacking Waves Layered Palm might be an incomplete martial technique, but it''s publically acknowledged within the academy to be the hardest to master, as well as the martial technique with the greatest might. These past few years, virtually no one dared to touch it. I want to see if this Ye Yuan is here to be a joke, or does he really have the confidence to master Stacking Waves Layered Palm."


    Zuo Bugui curled his lips and said, "I think that you are thinking too much. Even a sicko like you spent a month''s time to master only the first layer. How can Ye Yuan that last place possibly master it? Even if he mastered it, what''s the use of the First Layer Wave? The difference between Fei Qingping and him is two whole cultivation realms!"


    "Perhaps," Long Tang couldn''t be bothered to debate with Zuo Bugui and replied nonchalantly.


    "Hey hey. What kind of attitude is this? Is there a need to put on a cool appearance all day?"


    ". . . . . ."


    "I think you won''t be able to see it anymore. Ye Yuan that punk probably ran away already. What time is it already, and yet he still hasn''t appeared." Zuo Bugui kept on talking non-stop, but Long Tang could not be bothered to respond.


    . . . . . .


    "Make way! Make way!" Right at this moment, Ye Yuan shouted at the top of his voice. He was stuck outside, unable to enter.


    "It''s Ye Yuan! He came!"


    "He actually dared to come!"


    "Quickly make way for him; don''t delay me from collecting my Essence Qi Pills!"


    Amidst a wave of laughter, everyone made way for Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan did not enter the combat arena directly, but came to Tang Yu instead and asked slyly, "Is it done?"


    Tang Yu smiled. "Don''t worry, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. Luckily, I didn''t fail you."


    "Hahaha! Then that''s good, that''s good." Finishing his words, Ye Yuan then raise both arms up and cupped his hands politely, and he said, "Many thanks to all Senior Apprentice Brothers and Sisters that gave these Essence Qi Pills. I, your Junior Apprentice Brother, thank you here, and kindly accept them."


    Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, not knowing why Ye Yuan was showing off. Did he mess his brain up from training?


    Ignoring everyone''s surprised looks, Ye Yuan said to Tang Yu, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tang, take care not to lose the name list. After the match, I have to go and claim from each person."


    Ending the conversation, Ye Yuan walked into the combat arena step by step.


    Fei Qingping had a cold smile on his face as he watched Ye Yuan showing off. "You are about to die, and yet you still dare to ask for Essence Qi Pills?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fei Qingping, did you wager? Since I''m about to die, why don''t you bet some more?"


    "Don''t worry. I''ve already wagered everything! Now, I will send you to the western paradise!" Fei Qingping fully released the power of his Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm as he wanted to take the initiative right from the start.


    "Yo. Momentum''s not bad. Yii? You are actually at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?!" Ye Yuan''s face revealed astonishment.


    Fei Qingping saw Ye Yuan''s face change color and could not help but be pleased with himself. "Humph! Anyhow, we are apprentice brothers after all. How about this; I will allow you three moves. Make your move!"


    Ye Yuan revealed a delighted expression and asked with amazement, "Do you really mean it, Senior Apprentice Brother Fei?"


    "Of course!"


    "Then that''s great!" Ye Yuan smiled. Looking all around, he said, "You all heard it! He was the one who said he will allow me three moves!"

 Chapter 31: Abilities Astounding Everyone

    Chapter 31: Abilities Astounding Everyone


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "This fellow is really dumb like a pig!"


    Listening to how Fei Qingping allowed three moves so arrogantly during the match, Wan Yuan who was in the audience gnashed his teeth in anger.


    These past few days, he warned that fellow countless times to not let down his guard. And yet, the result was that his strength indeed increased, but his habit of taking the enemy lightly surfaced once again.


    Wan Yuan was different from Fei Qingping. He also looked down greatly on Ye Yuan, but if he were the one up there, he definitely would not say something like ''allow you three moves.'' Instead, he would beat down Ye Yuan with full power.


    Liu Ruoshui who was by the side covered her mouth as she laughed and said, "Don''t get mad, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan. Fei Qingping might be a little arrogant, but right now he does have the capital to be arrogant. Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm versus Third Level Essence Qi Realm; no matter how you look at it, he wouldn''t lose, don''t you think? Even if he allows three moves, it has no bearing on the overall situation."


    Since Liu Ruoshui already said all that, Wan Yuan did not feel it was nice to go into it seriously. But in his mind, he was thinking that after they return, he would definitely show him some colors.


    "I''ve incurred Junior Apprentice Sister Liu''s ridicule. It''s just that this is a deathmatch. Fei Qingping shouldn''t be so careless. But I don''t think that Ye Yuan would be able to do anything." Wan Yuan shook his head and smiled.


    "That''s obvious. Senior Apprentice Brother Wan spent the past few days to help with Junior Apprentice Brother Fei''s bitter closed-seclusion training. Furthermore, he has an overwhelming advantage in terms of cultivation realm. Nothing is going to happen. What''s funny is that just now, Ye Yuan was still showing off as if so many senior apprentice brothers'' Essence Qi Pills were already his. Looking at this point, he isn''t any different from the past Ye Yuan," Liu Ruoshui''s words carried a faint enmity as she replied.


    "Oh? That''s true now that you mentioned it! Perhaps I was overly cautious. But this way, it does seem more like Ye Yuan''s personality."


    After Ruoshui said that, Wan Yuan also came around. Thinking back to Ye Yuan''s actions just now, it was like how he used to act recklessly and blindly in the past.


    But, this was going to be the last time . . .


    . . . . . .


    In the arena, a middle-aged man dressed in black walked in step by step. He was the instructor who was hosting this deathmatch, Huyan Yong.


    Huyan Yong glanced at the two people without any emotion. It was as if not at all caring the slightest about this deathmatch.


    "Since the two of you are here, the deathmatch will begin now. In a deathmatch, each person is responsible for their own life and death."


    "Begin!"


    Finishing his words, Huyan Yong directly left.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was wearing a white martial outfit, standing there with a somewhat valiant and heroic bearing.


    Except that this valiant and heroic appearance did not match his strength, leaving everyone with an inexpressible strange feeling.


    "Hey, you said three moves. After I hit you, you mustn''t retaliate!" Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and exclaimed.


    Fei Qingping smiled coldly. "Just relying on you?"


    "Hehe. Won''t you know after trying? Here I come!"


    Right after he finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure already arrived in front of Fei Qingping.


    "Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave!"


    Smash!


    Fei Qingping''s body flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground.


    Silence . . .


    Dead silence!


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan standing in the arena with an unbelievable expression, not knowing what happened just now.


    No, to be exact, they could not believe the truth that they just witnessed with their own eyes!


    How could he be so fast?


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm?


    H-he really mastered it?


    How is this possible?!


    "Just now, that was . . . Stacking Waves Layered Palm?" On the secret viewing platform, Zuo Bugui''s laidback attitude already disappeared from his face, and what replaced it was astonishment.


    It sounded like he was asking Long Tang, and at the same time as if he was talking to himself.


    Shocked was written all over Long Tang''s face, but he still replied, "That''s right. It''s Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave!"


    "But . . . didn''t he only train for three days?" Zuo Bugui felt that his brain was a little insufficient to process this.


    Three days to learn Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave. Could it be that this Ye Yuan''s talent was even more monstrous than this Long Tang in front of him?


    But . . .


    Even if Ye Yuan was more monstrous than Long Tang, it could not be to the extent of learning it in three days . . . Right?


    Long Tang used a month, and yet Ye Yuan only used three days. The time that Long Tang took was actually ten times of Ye Yuan''s?


    Isn''t it too demoralizing?


    Long Tang didn''t know what happened either. But among Dan Wu Academy''s students, nobody was more familiar with this martial technique than him.


    What Ye Yuan used just now was the authentic First Layer Wave!


    "If this was Ye Yuan''s first time looking at the jade piece, it means he really mastered it in three days!" Long Tang''s words revealed mixed feelings.


    Zuo Bugui clearly became aware of that point as well and asked, "Do you mean that . . . he trained in it before? This time around, it''s just to deceive the public? If it''s like that, then it makes sense."


    The more Zuo Bugui thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. That trademark smile once again appeared on his face, except it was still a little forced. "That''s what I said. How can there be someone even more monstrous than you? Furthermore, it''s monstrous to such an extent!"


    Long Tang shook his head and said calmly, "I didn''t say that. It''s just an assumption. In reality, I''m more inclined to believe that this was his first time seeing that jade piece."


    ". . . . . ."


    Zuo Bugui was speechless.


    In the arena, a trace of light flashed across Huyan Yong''s eyes, whose expression had been indifferent all this while.


    He was similarly shocked by Ye Yuan''s strike, but what he was astonished by was not the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, but Ye Yuan''s movement technique!


    Previously, Ye Yuan revealed Instant Flash. So everyone was not a stranger to it. But everyone''s understanding of him remained at the large success stage.


    But the Instant Flash that Ye Yuan displayed just now was undoubtedly at the great circle stage!


    What Ye Yuan executed just now did not leave any afterimages. Hence, he deceived every student''s eyes and ears.


    Afterimage was a mark of mastering Instant Flash to the great circle stage. But it did not mean that a great success stage of Instant Flash will definitely leave afterimages.


    Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.


    That was the true meaning of a martial technique at the great circle stage!


    Coincidentally, back in those days, Huyan Yong also spent a great deal of effort on Instant Flash. He was one of the few people who trained this technique to the great circle stage!


    Although he went on to practice higher ranking movement techniques, he was still most familiar with Instant Flash.


    Yet, just now, he clearly felt that the Instant Flash Ye Yuan executed was somewhat different. It was just that he could not say how exactly was it different.


    But without any doubt, Ye Yuan''s understanding of this technique was beyond his!


    This punk isn''t simple!


    Huyan Yong who was originally indifferent towards this deathmatch started to feel a faint anticipation now.


    "That fool! I already told him not to underestimate the enemy!" Looking at the arena, Wan Yuan gnashed his teeth angrily.


    Wan Yuan never thought that Ye Yuan actually managed to master the Stacking Waves Layered Palm!


    Just what on earth happened on this guy''s body?


    Just three days!


    Something that Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang only accomplished using one month, Ye Yuan actually managed to use only three days!


    Was this really still the Ye Yuan I know?


    "Don''t worry, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan. Junior Apprentice Brother Fei only underestimated the enemy for a moment. Even if Ye Yuan mastered Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave, he can''t win against Junior Apprentice Brother Fei." Liu Ruoshui remained fully confident.


    Wan Yuan nodded his head. He obviously knew that this strike was not unable to cause Fei Qingping any actual harm.


    "Underestimated the enemy? Even if he didn''t take the enemy lightly, he probably also couldn''t avoid that strike just now, right?" Huyan Yong was not far from Wan Yuan and heard Liu Ruoshui and their conversation, giving this evaluation in his heart.

 Chapter 32: Violent Beating

    Chapter 32: Violent Beating

    "Hey, have you laid down long enough? There are still two more moves which you allowed me. You aren''t going to go back on your words, are you?"


    Ye Yuan clapped his hands together with a face that said it cannot be helped.


    Cough, cough, cough! Fei Qingping had not caught his breath even after so long.


    That palm strike just now hit him right in the chest to the point where he could not catch his breath.


    Were it not for the fact that he gathered essence energy to form a shield at the last moment, he would have failed miserably at this simple mission.


    Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm was much stronger than Third Level Essence Qi Realm; it was not just because the essence energy was much thicker, but also because after the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, one would be able to materialize an essence energy shield. This greatly increased one''s self-defense power.


    The damage from a Third Level Essence Qi Realm''s attack, after being neutralized by an essence energy shield, will significantly be reduced in power.


    "Li-little bastard!" Fei Qingping held his chest as he struggled to stand up.


    Just as he managed to steady himself, Ye Yuan palm came again.


    Smash!


    Fei Qingping was sent flying once more, rolling on the ground far away.


    "You''re really asking for a beating! Try scolding again if you got the guts!" Ye Yuan stopped smiling and said coldly.


    Cough, cough! "S-so what if I scold you? Li-little bas-"


    Smash!


    Before he even managed to complete his sentence, Ye Yuan''s palm once again imprinted onto Fei Qingping''s chest.


    "I admire your guts. Come, carry on scolding." Ye Yuan''s words became frostier.


    Cough, cough! "Three moves are over, prepare to die! Little bas-"


    Smash!


    Yet another palm!


    Only, this palm struck the face. Even though it was weakened by the essence energy shield, Fei Qingping''s face started to swell slightly.


    "Little-"


    Smash!


    Smash! Smash! Smash!


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan landed one palm after another on Fei Qingping''s face.


    Fei Qingping stood up again and again but was sent flying each time. As long as he stood up, a palm would come whizzing, leaving him no time to start scolding.


    It was said that when hitting someone, do not hit the face. Yet, Ye Yuan deliberately hit Fei Qingping''s face.


    After over a dozen palms landed, Fei Qingping''s face already swelled up like a pig''s head. Even if his parents were here, they probably would not be able to recognize their own son.


    Currently, Fei Qingping was howling in his heart. Each time he made a great effort to stand up, wanting to retaliate, Ye Yuan would appear before his eyes without waiting for him to react.


    Right now, he discovered that the Ye Yuan he always looked down upon had indeed possessed the strength to threaten him.


    . . . . . .


    Everybody looked on dumbfounded at the scene of Ye Yuan continuously striking one palm after the other.


    Each time Ye Yuan struck, their hearts would jump involuntarily as if that palm was slapping their faces.


    Stretching out to touch their faces, why was it that they found their faces a little hot?


    Wan Yuan did not say a word, but his face was already completely black.


    How was this about Ye Yuan slapping Fei Qingping''s face? He was clearly slapping Wan Yuan''s face!


    There were so many people present here. Who did not know that Fei Qingping was his lackey?


    In his heart, he had already scolded Fei Qingping countless times, but that was not of any help at all to the current situation in the combat arena.


    Wan Yuan did not possess Huyan Yong''s judgment. Even now, he still stubbornly believed that Ye Yuan had the initiative because of those three moves, and Ye Yuan could beat Fei Qingping until this state because Fei Qingping was taken unaware.


    Thinking back to how Fei Qingping promised to allow Ye Yuan three moves right from the start, it became a complete joke now.


    It had already been over ten moves, and Fei Qingping had not even counterattacked.


    "Fei Qingping, are you a pig?! Quickly, use the Lesser Capturing Hand!" Wan Yuan could not sit idly by any longer and then shouted out loud.


    Murmuring.


    Following Wan Yuan''s cry, the hundreds of people in the audience all looked over in his direction.


    It seemed to have caught Ye Yuan''s attention as well. He looked over and ceased his violent rhythmic beating of Fei Qingping.


    "Shut up! This is a deathmatch. Who permitted you to shout?" Huyan Yong turned around and looked frostily at Wan Yuan. A powerful pressure belonging to the Spirit Condensation Realm came forth, crushing Wan Yuan until his breathing almost stopped.


    "Teacher Huyan, does his action count as breaking the academy''s rules?" Ye Yuan asked calmly.


    Huyan Yong also had a headache. Even though Wan Yuan was an Earth rank student, his potential was quite high. Additionally, with his father, Wan Donghai''s network, he could not be too harsh on him.


    However, what Wan Yuan did was indeed a transgression. A deathmatch prohibited anyone from interrupting the duel. Wan Yuan''s interference had clearly disrupted Ye Yuan''s momentum.


    Now, if Ye Yuan was to hold onto this point and not let things go, under everyone''s watchful eyes, Huyan Yong really did not know how to handle things.


    "Of course it counts!" Even though it might be troublesome, Huyan Yong could not deny this in front of so many people.


    Currently, many people''s gaze towards Wan Yuan became filled with contempt. Anyone could tell that he intentionally interrupted Ye Yuan''s momentum.


    "That . . . According to the academy''s rules, how should he be punished for his actions? Just now, I had the full advantage, but after that shout, I''m afraid that I will be beaten by Fei Qingping later. I don''t want to look like a pig head. Teacher Huyan, you have to stand up for me, the weak party!" Ye Yuan said innocently.


    "This . . ." Huyan Yong was exasperated and cursed endlessly in his heart.


    Other people might not be able to tell, but how could he not see it? Even when interrupted, there was no way that pig head could even touch the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeves. It had nothing to do with the overall situation.


    Yet, Ye Yuan deliberately pretended to be the weak party right now in order to gain everyone''s sympathy. This made it even harder for him to find a way out of this situation whether he punished Wan Yuan or not.


    As expected, when Ye Yuan''s voice died down, a wave of murmuring sounded off at the grandstand. Everyone understood what he meant.


    Ye Yuan was already two minor cultivation realms lower than Fei Qingping right from the start and was at an absolute disadvantage.


    Fei Qingping himself threw away his initiative, which finally balanced out the initially tilted scale.


    If Ye Yuan were beaten to death by Fei Qingping right after coming up, there would absolutely be no one who would pity him. But now that Ye Yuan finally saw the hope of victory, and yet was despicably interrupted by Wan Yuan, everybody could not help but pity him.


    Even though many among them wagered against Ye Yuan.


    However, everybody was clear in their hearts, that even though Ye Yuan was the one beating violently, in reality, it was all superficial wounds to Fei Qingping; unable to give him any serious injuries.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm was indeed powerful, but the First Layer Wave was not able to compensate for the difference in cultivation realm.


    If Fei Qingping were only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, then even if he had ten lives, he would be thoroughly dead.


    If Fei Qingping was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, perhaps Ye Yuan might just have that glimmer of hope to finish him off.


    But at the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm . . .


    Nobody felt that Ye Yuan could really kill Fei Qingping.


    That was the reality of it . . .


    Just as Huyan Yong was caught in the dilemma, Fei Qingping finally took the opportunity to stand up, albeit in an unstable manner.


    However . . . he was already confused and disoriented right now. He was utterly unable to figure out the directions.


    Fei Qingping saw a blurry figure, pointed at him, and shouted angrily, "Ye Yuan, I . . . I''m going . . . to kill you!"


    "Hahahaha!"


    Hundreds of people took a look at Fei Qingping''s funny appearance and burst into laughter.


    The laughter made Fei Qingping''s eardrums quake in pain.


    Fei Qingping did not understand why everyone was laughing at him, but when he saw clearly who he was pointing at, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.


    The person in front of him gradually became clearer. He was pointing to none other than the currently livid Huyan Yong.


    "Wan Yuan disrupted the deathmatch. In accordance with the academy''s rules, he will go and receive a hundred whippings himself after the duel. Wan Yuan! Leave the combat arena right now!" Huyan Yong had been an instructor for so many years but never had he lost face like he did today.

 Chapter 33: You Really Have Guts

    Chapter 33: You Really Have Guts


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Whipping was a form of punishment frequently used on students.


    This whip punishment was naturally different from the mortals'' whipping punishment. It was carried out using a low-grade Spirit Artifact. Each whip will scatter the student''s protective essence energy, causing bone piercing pain.


    The average student who committed a mistake would receive around 30-50 whips. After that, they basically had to lie on a bed for ten days.


    Now that Wan Yuan had to receive 100 whips, he would not be able to walk for at least twenty days no matter what.


    Wan Yuan also knew that he had incurred public wrath, so he did not dare to talk back to Huyan Yong. Glaringly fiercely at Ye Yuan, he said, "Hmph! In a while, we will come and collect your corpse!"


    Ye Yuan did not show any weaknesses and said loudly, "Many thanks then. But I think you better collect the corpse of your family''s dog. I won''t see you off."


    Finishing by drawing aggro, Ye Yuan sent Wan Yuan off with a wave of his hands.


    If it was not a deathmatch, Wan Yuan wished he could immediately rush down and tear Ye Yuan apart.


    After Wan Yuan left, Huyan Yong announced with a scowl, "Deathmatch resumes!"


    Currently, Fei Qingping had already recovered. There was hatred in his eyes as if he wanted to tear Ye Yuan apart alive.


    "Ye Yuan, you despicable man! To actually use such a contemptible method to execute sneak attacks on me!" Fei Qingping gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Ye Yuan stared at him like he was an idiot. "Hey, you were the one who said that you will allow me three moves. Now you turn around and blame me for being despicable? Did you really become a pig''s head?"


    "Little bastard! You are dead!!" Fei Qingping was practically foaming at the mouth from anger and started cursing again.


    As his voice fell, Ye Yuan''s figure once again executed Instant Flash, appearing in front of Fei Qingping.


    Smash!


    Fei Qingping was sent flying once again.


    This time around, the audience on the grandstand finally noticed something wrong.


    If previously, Fei Qingping were sent flying because he underestimated the enemy right at the start, then what about now?


    Fei Qingping could not possibly be unprepared when facing Ye Yuan in his towering rage. Yet, he was still sent flying with a single palm by Ye Yuan.


    Those with a good judgment already discovered that this time around, even though Fei Qingping was prepared to counterattack, he was still slower by half a beat.


    "This . . . Is Instant Flash supposed to be this quick?" Zuo Bugui felt that there were too many things happening today that overturned his understanding.


    Long Tang looked at him and said, "Looks like we were both wrong. Ye Yuan''s Instant Flash had already reached the great circle stage."


    Zuo Bugui sucked in a cold breath involuntarily. "Siii . . . Great circle stage. . . Do you also know Instant Flash?"


    Long Tang seemed to know what Zuo Bugui was asking, so he nodded his head and said, "I still cannot find the crux to step into the Great Circle Realm."


    Zuo Bugui muttered, "This Ye Yuan . . . is truly monstrous! Looks like in the future, we will have another terrifying opponent."


    Hearing Zuo Bugui''s words, Long Tang''s face did not become grim, but instead, it overflowed with fighting intent.


    "If he can rise up, he would be a pretty good opponent." Long Tang''s domineering air continued to soar as if he had already been lonely in the Dan Wu Academy for too long.


    Zuo Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "You are indeed a sicko! Even though I don''t know what happened to Ye Yuan, most likely he can''t cause any threat to you. After all, your cultivation realm is much higher than his."


    "It may not necessarily be so! Don''t tell me you still believe that Ye Yuan rising two minor cultivation realms in a row was the result of his father pulling the shoot to help it grow?"


    Zhu Bugui shook his head and said, "Even though I don''t know how he did it, he is definitely not those sort of Third Level Essence Qi Realm with superficial foundation! From the start until now, he had continuously used over a dozen Instant Flashes and Stacking Wave Layered Palms. All these no longer support the principle where his foundation is superficial. But looking at him, he doesn''t seem to be under strain. Instead, he seems to be doing it with ease. But the question is . . . how does he do it?"


    Since the start of the duel, Zuo Bugui felt that there were too many mysteries on Ye Yuan''s body. Many of the things that happened with Ye Yuan surpassed his understanding.


    However, Zuo Bugui did not treat Ye Yuan as an opponent, because Ye Yuan''s realm was too low.


    The accumulation of essence energy was a drawn-out process. No matter how talented someone was, this process cannot be made up for within a short period of time.


    Zuo Bugui was older than Ye Yuan by two whole years. If he were a mediocre person like Fei Qingping, then there was nothing strange about being caught up by Ye Yuan.


    However, Zuo Bugui himself was a genius among geniuses, the number two figure on the Martial Roll of Honor. He had his own pride. By the time Ye Yuan reached his current strength, he would definitely have taken another huge step forward.


    "Looks like there are plenty of secrets on Ye Yuan. I have a feeling that before long, he will become a formidable adversary for us," Long Tang said.


    . . . . . .


    Currently, Ye Yuan was looking at Fei Qingping who was on the ground. He said coldly, "I don''t care how you scold me, but if you scold my parents, I won''t stand for it. If you have the guts, try scolding another sentence. The next time I strike, it will no longer be light."


    Fei Qingping struggled up from the ground, shook his pig head, and gave a hideous smile, "Hahaha . . . Just relying on you? So what if you managed to learn the Stacking Waves Layered Palm? It''s just the First Layer Wave! Even if I let you hit me, can you even kill me? Once your essence energy is fully exhausted, you are dead! So what if I scold you?! Little bastard! Little bastard! Little bastard! Come on! Come hit me!"


    This time, Fei Qingping was wiser. As he spoke, he was already on full alert and secretly revolved essence energy in preparation to use the Lesser Capturing Hand at any time.


    He also knew that he could not compete in movement technique with Ye Yuan no matter what, so he simply went on the defensive.


    As long as he thoroughly exhausted Ye Yuan''s essence energy, the latter would be dead!


    However, this time around, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of striking immediately. Instead, he looked at Fei Qingping and started smiling. Except, this smile revealed an icy intent, making the students on the grandstand shuddered involuntarily.


    Huyan Yong narrowed his eyes. He knew that Ye Yuan really became angry. The next attack would definitely fall like a thunderbolt.


    It was just that he could not imagine just how Ye Yuan would make up for the difference in cultivation realm.


    Clearly, the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave, had no use. Could it be that Ye Yuan still has a trump card that he has not used?


    Huyan Yong began to faintly look forward to it. The Ye Yuan today had brought too many surprises for him.


    "Haha! Very good. You really have balls. I''m coming. You better prepare your Lesser Capturing Hand properly." Ye Yuan was full of smiles and even took special care to remind Fei Qingping.


    The next instant, Fei Qingping discovered that Ye Yuan''s figure slowly started to blur. Immediately, he detected something was wrong, and Lesser Capturing Hand was executed without any hesitation in an attempt to slow Ye Yuan''s figure.


    Yet, all of these were futile.


    Ye Yuan''s figure once again appeared in front of him, and a palm was struck out immediately, almost the same as before.


    "Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave!"


    Fei Qingping''s body flew out like a kite with a broken string.


    Puhwark!


    The instant he landed, Fei Qingping vomited a large mouthful of blood. It was clear that he suffered heavy internal injuries.


    "Second Layer Wave! He mastered the Second Layer Wave! H-how is that possible? I-it''s only been three days!" Zuo Bugui could not believe his eyes. This scene was just too shocking!


    Although the attack power only increased by four times, the cultivation difficulty was not just an increment of four times!


    Long Tang once estimated previously that in order to master the Second Layer Wave, he would need to spend at least three months!


    Was this fellow Ye Yuan still a human?


    Although Long Tang who was by the side never spoke, the shock in his heart was no less than Zuo Bugui''s.


    Mastering Second Layer Wave in three days . . . This was something that he did not even dare to imagine!


    Just what on earth happened to Ye Yuan, making him so monstrous?

 Chapter 34: The Endless Trials

    Chapter 34: The Endless Trials


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with other people''s astonishment and slowly walked in front of Fei Qingping.


    "You said that I can''t kill you? Who do you think you are? You are nothing but a dog of Wan Yuan," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Fei Qingping wanted to say something but vomited another mouthful of blood instead.


    A First Layer Wave was two times the power, and a Second Layer Wave was four times the power.


    Using Ye Yuan''s abundant essence energy to unleash four times the power? Fei Qingping''s essence energy shield was no longer sufficient.


    That palm just now directly shattered Fei Qingping''s essence energy shield and made an imprint on his chest.


    Ye Yuan did not hold back his attack at all, directly shattering Fei Qingping''s internal organs, and snapping his heart meridian.


    With regards to Fei Qingping, Ye Yuan had long sentenced him to death in his heart.


    His predecessor died because of Fei Qingping. Ye Yuan inherited this body, so he naturally could feel his predecessor''s resentment before dying.


    Now that he killed Fei Qingping, Ye Yuan can be considered to have taken revenge for his predecessor.


    "Cough, cough, cough . . . Ye Yuan, even if I become a ghost . . . I won''t let you off!" Fei Qingping struggled to stand up to no avail.


    "Haha! Then I will make sure that you can''t even become a ghost." Ye Yuan followed up with another palm, thoroughly ending Fei Qingping''s life.


    From the start to the end, Fei Qingping never even made a single move.


    On the grandstand, everyone was completely dumbstruck looking at the Ye Yuan in the combat arena. This Ten Thousand Years Last Place gave them too many surprises today.


    Killing a Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm as a Third Level Essence Qi Realm! Instant Flash at the great circle stage! Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave!


    Anyone of these things could shake Dan Wu Academy, but all three things happened on Ye Yuan alone.


    "Deathmatch, Fei Qingping died! Ye Yuan wins!" Huyan Yong finally recovered from his shock and announced the results of the deathmatch.


    Ye Yuan bowed towards Huyan Yong and said, "You''ve worked hard, Teacher Huyan."


    Ye Yuan bowed deeply towards the grandstand and said with a face full of gratitude, "Many thanks to all Senior Apprentice Brothers and Sisters for supporting. To actually know this Junior Apprentice Brother, I, am lacking Essence Qi Pills for cultivation. It makes me overwhelmed by this favor! I hope that all Senior Apprentice Brothers and Sisters will pay back the debt and not let Junior Apprentice Brother, I, go and look for you. That wouldn''t look very nice."


    The audience who were initially still immersed in the shock were now full of resentment and contempt.


    Isn''t this Ye Yuan''s appearance when he is eating too ugly?


    This was a threat! A blatant threat!


    "Haha! This Ye Yuan is interesting. With the large mountain Ye Hang, behind his back, how could he be lacking in these sort of things like Essence Qi Pills?" Zuo Bugui could not hold back his laughter when he saw Ye Yuan''s sordid merchant-like appearance.


    "This trip wasn''t wasted. Let''s go," Long Tang said nonchalantly.


    "Hehehe. Wasn''t wasted, wasn''t wasted. Looks like Dan Wu Academy will be fun in the future."


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan! If I don''t tear you to shreds, I can''t get rid of the hatred in my heart!"


    Wan Yuan laid on the bed with horrific whip marks visible on his back.


    Wan Yuan received the news of Fei Qingping being killed by Ye Yuan at the first moment. Immediately, the hatred in his heart surged to the skies.


    He still had to go and receive his whip punishment under this sort of circumstance. This made his hatred towards Ye Yuan reached the absolute limit.


    A hundred whips later, Wan Yuan''s skin was split, and his flesh all torn up. He fainted straightaway on the spot.


    At this time, Wan Yuan''s deep family background revealed itself.


    He had consumed two high-grade Great Returning Pills, and the injuries on his body were quickly suppressed. Coupled with some external wound medicines, it would take at most seven or eight days before Wan Yuan would be as good as new.


    It was just that although physical injuries healed easily, the emotional wounds were heavy.


    No matter what, Fei Qingping and he grew up playing together. Although they were master and servant in name, in reality, they were as close as real brothers.


    Wan Yuan never expected that Ye Yuan would improve at such an amazing speed, to actually kill the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm Fei Qingping as a Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    If he knew this beforehand, then he would not have sent Fei Qingping to his death like that.


    Just as Wan Yuan was wallowing in his hatred, Liu Ruoshui slowly walked in, as graceful and attractive as before.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wan, please restrain your grief. To think that Ye Yuan was such a despicable person who planned such a trap for Junior Apprentice Brother Fei to fall into. He is so devious!" Liu Ruoshui just happened to reveal a sorrowful expression, making her look pitiable and delicate.


    Wan Yuan could not get up, but he was very touched by the fact that Liu Ruoshui came to visit him at this time.


    "Many thanks, Junior Apprentice Sister Liu. I was definitely careless. My father fought with Ye Hang for so many years, and I have also fought with Ye Yuan for so many years. All these while, I had always thought that I understood him very well, so I felt that he was a good for nothing. But I never expected him to have hidden his ability this deep," Wan Yuan said hatefully.


    Liu Ruoshui said, "Yeah, we misjudged. To think he was actually pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger all this while! I reckon that the poisoning incident previously thoroughly infuriated him. That''s why he decided to meet that scheme with his own, luring Junior Apprentice Brother Fei to get hooked by the bait."


    Wan Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Yuan! You and I, one of us must die! Furthermore, he is advancing too quickly. I can''t let him continue to grow!"


    It was clear that through this deathmatch, Wan Yuan had already deeply felt the pressure.


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed was too dazzling. Even though he might be a genius that was being heavily groomed by the Dan Wu Academy, he was certain that he could not train the Stacking Waves Layered Palm to such a degree after examining himself.


    If he gave Ye Yuan a little more time, he might actually really be able to threaten him.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave, and great circle stage Instant Flash. If he let Ye Yuan grow unchecked, he will soon no longer be his match.


    Wan Yuan obviously did not know that Ye Yuan had already finished off someone on his level, the assassin Chou Ying.


    If it were a deathmatch, Ye Yuan could already kill him.


    Liu Ruoshui wholeheartedly agreed with this. "That''s right. Ye Yuan is too devious, and he also has ulterior motives. Senior Apprentice Brother Wan had better find a way to quickly deal with him."


    Liu Ruoshui no longer had any choice. Right now, she and Wan Yuan were like grasshoppers on the same string. She had plotted against Ye Yuan before, so Ye Yuan would not let her go. That was why she came over to urge Wan Yuan to quickly deal with Ye Yuan.


    "But the academy doesn''t permit students to take action privately. Otherwise, they will be punished severely," Wan Yuan frowned as he said this.


    In reality, even if Wan Yuan was to personally take action right now, he did not have much assurance that he could kill Ye Yuan. That great circle stage Instant Flash placed him in a virtually undefeatable position.


    "Did you two forget that the Endless Trials will start one month from now?"


    Suddenly, a voice appeared, making Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui jumped in fright.


    "It''s Senior Apprentice Brother Su! Apologies, Senior Apprentice Brother Su. Wan Yuan is injured, so it''s inconvenient to greet you." Wan Yuan''s face was full of apologies.


    The one who came was precisely Su Yishan, an extraordinary top ten figure on the Martial Roll of Honor.


    Liu Ruoshui naturally did not dare to slight him either. She got up gracefully and greeted, "I''ve seen Senior Apprentice Brother Su."


    Su Yishan gave her a faint look but did not express anything. Without any care, he sat down by the side as if this was his home.


    The Dan Wu Academy was a place that advocated talent and strength. If one had the strength, then nobody would dare to say anything even if he was somewhat arrogant. If one did not, then he could only be stepped underfoot by others.


    In the past, Ye Yuan was the Ten Thousand Years Last Place, so there had never been anyone who looked up to him. But now that he soared up to the skies in one move, everyone would naturally take him seriously.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Su, just now you said . . . the Endless Trials? That''s right! Why didn''t I think of it?" Wan Yuan became excited, and pushed with his hand, agitating his wounds. Immediately, his face contorted in agony.


    By the side, Liu Ruoshui''s eyes also lit up. It was clear that she also understood Su Yishan''s intentions.


    "That''s right, the Endless Trials. The Endless Forest is naturally the ideal location to deal with Ye Yuan," Su Yishan commented calmly.

 Chapter 35: Six Astral Array

    Chapter 35: Six Astral Array


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Endless Trials was actually a hunting exercise for the Dan Wu Academy''s students to temper themselves.


    There were countless demonic beasts inside the Endless Forest. So it was naturally the ideal location to temper the students. Of course, these sort of tempering would often be accompanied by injuries and death.


    In the past trials, many genius students ended up in the bellies of demonic beasts.


    The Dan Wu Academy was never a utopia. This place was even crueler than the outside world. The weak was destined to be eliminated.


    It was a world where the strong ruled.


    The Dan Wu Academy provided geniuses with a relatively safe environment for competition. But a greenhouse could never nurture a true powerhouse. Without the baptism of fresh blood, these geniuses would never mature.


    There were all sorts of conflicts in the academy. These conflicts had to have a release point, and that release point was precisely the Endless Trials.


    The grudges that could not be settled within the academy could be dealt with during the Endless Trials.


    Although the academy would repeatedly emphasize that they were not allowed to make a move on their companions during the Endless Trials, in reality, the academy tacitly approved of students utilizing this opportunity to settle their grudges.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Su indeed has broad horizons, to have already chosen a burial ground for Ye Yuan," Liu Ruoshui praised.


    Su Yishan gave Liu Ruoshui a contemplating look, and she blushed bashfully, making her appear highly bewitching.


    Liu Ruoshui did not have a good family background. She was born from a small family''s concubine and enjoyed extremely few resources since young. However, her talent was pretty good, reaching Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at 14 years old. This was how she got recruited by the Dan Wu Academy.


    If she had not entered the Dan Wu Academy, Liu Ruoshui would have long been sent out as a gift by her family. She was full of hatred towards the Liu Family. She hoped that one day, she could return to smack the faces of those elders to let them see that even without the support of the family, she, Liu Ruoshui, could still rise above others!


    Yet, after entering the Dan Wu Academy, Liu Ruoshui realized just how many incredibly talented people there were. She felt that her talent was not inferior to these geniuses, but that her background limited her growth.


    What Liu Ruoshui lacked the most was resources so she would try every mean to hang around men just so she could obtain enough cultivation resources.


    Liu Ruoshui possessed a naturally attractive body and was the dual cultivation partner that all men dreamed of having. This was also her most significant capital, so she used this capital to walk among men, hoping to find a large tree to climb up.


    Big shots like Su Yishan would not even fancy Liu Ruoshui, and Liu Ruoshui understood that even if they took a liking to her, she would only end up as their plaything.


    So Liu Ruoshui set her sights on those geniuses who had yet to mature, and that person was Wan Yuan.


    In reality, Liu Ruoshui had also considered Ye Yuan before, because Ye Yuan was easier to control than Wan Yuan. Looking at their background, these two people were actually roughly the same. But in terms of future, Wan Yuan left Ye Yuan several streets behind.


    Wan Yuan was full of schemes, possessed strength, and even had an Alchemy Grandmaster for a father. There was no better choice than him.


    Furthermore, Wan Yuan did not disappoint her and was currently already deeply in love with her.


    Liu Ruoshui had also just advanced to Earth Rank not long ago and did not have much contact with this sort of extraordinary genius like Su Yishan. However, just this one glance made Liu Ruoshui feel like he stripped her clothes off, making her very uncomfortable.


    "Junior Apprentice Sister Liu isn''t bad," after that contemplating smile, Su Yishan only said a sentence lightly; not understanding what he was trying to express either.


    After that, he no longer bothered with Liu Ruoshui and carried talking with Wan Yuan.


    "At that time, I will cooperate with you to eliminate Ye Yuan. After losing his son, Ye Hang would definitely lose his composure. At that time, our two families will join hands, and we can pull the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion up by the roots. If Ye Hang attacks first, I believe the Imperial Family can''t say anything about it."


    Hearing Su Yishan''s words, Wan Yuan''s gaze became sharp, and he said excitedly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Su will personally take action? That''s great! Honestly speaking, with Ye Yuan''s great circle stage Instant Flash, even if I use my full strength, I might not be able to keep him there. With Senior Apprentice Brother Su personally moving out, there will be no escape for Ye Yuan this time!"


    Liu Ruoshui felt a little chill in her heart. Su Yishan''s methods are terrifying. She and Wan Yuan were only thinking of how to deal with Ye Yuan, but Su Yishan already included the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion into his scheme.


    Su Family''s primary source of income similarly was through medicinal herbs and pills. They had deep connections with the Drunken Star Manor, so the two families were always on good terms.


    Su Family was the largest medicinal herbs provider in the State of Qin. In most cases, Su Family only provided the medicinal herbs and did not interfere with the refinement or sale of medicinal pills.


    But who knew what channels Ye Hang went through, to not go through the Su Family for all of his medicinal herbs. This naturally made the Su Family hate Ye Hang.


    In the capital, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and the Drunken Star Manor were like two tigers who could not tolerate the other''s existence on the same mountain. The two families had fought for so many years, and the Imperial Family had already given tacit consent to this delicate balance.


    But the Su Family strongly disliked the existence of Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, because the latter occupied a considerable share of the medicinal pills market which also meant that the Su Family''s profits were reduced by quite a bit.


    But, one had to acknowledge that Ye Hang was remarkable in terms of businesses and operations. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s prices were fair, and they had never bullied customers with their power. Their prestige among the demonic beast hunters was very good.


    The Su Family and the Wan Family had created obstacles both openly and in the shadows countless times, and yet, they had never dealt any real damage to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Su Yishan wanted to use Ye Yuan as the pivotal point to pull the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion up by its roots.


    To be able to devise such a setup and also be so scheming at such a young age, one had to acknowledge that Su Yishan was an outlaw-like figure.


    After Su Yishan left, Liu Ruoshui''s eyes were sparkling as she said, "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother Wan! With Senior Apprentice Brother Su''s help, Ye Yuan is definitely dead this time. Not only Ye Yuan, but your Lord Father''s thorn in the eye can also be removed this time as well!"


    Wan Yuan did not have Liu Ruoshui''s excitement, as if he was a completely different person from just now when Su Yishan was here.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Su is feeling threatened!" sucking in a deep breath, Wan Yuan said in a low voice.


    "You are saying . . . Ye Yuan?" Liu Ruoshui was also an intelligent person. Now that Wan Yuan said this, she immediately understood, but she was frightened by this thought.


    To the academy''s students, those in the Martial Roll of Honor''s and Alchemy Roll of Honor''s top ten were all figures that they had to look up to. An extraordinary genius like him actually felt threatened by a Third Level Essence Qi Realm?


    It was too inconceivable . . .


    . . . . . .


    At Ye Yuan''s abode, Lu-er stared at her young master fiddling with Essence Qi Pills that filled up the house.


    Ye Yuan retrieved six Essence Qi Pills and placed them separately at the six corners of a pre-drawn hexagon array.


    Slightly injecting some essence energy, the array immediately gave off a faint white light, and the six Essence Qi Pills actually started to melt slowly, converging at the center of the hexagon array.


    After a while, the light faded, and the liquefied pills started to reform again at the center. It actually reformed into a single medicinal pill!


    The reformed medicinal pill, just from the luster of it, one could clearly tell that it was much stronger than the original high-grade Essence Qi Pills.


    "Young Master, is this a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill?" Lu-er grew up in the Ye Family since young, and naturally was not a stranger to medicinal pills.


    High-grade Essence Qi Pills were relatively common but transcendent-grade . . . If Ye Hang performed exceptionally well, then it would be pretty good to have one of these in a furnace of medicinal pills.


    But now, Ye Yuan casually used six high-grade Essence Qi Pills to actually conjure out a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill like magic.


    It was too miraculous!


    Ye Yuan took the medicinal pill and placed it in a medicine bottle, saying, "Not bad. This is called Six Astral Array; an array specialized in extracting and refining low-level medicinal pills."


    Lu-er found it all very mystical and praised in admiration, "Young Master, you are too amazing!"

 Chapter 36: The Price of Sleeping

    Chapter 36: The Price of Sleeping


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The next day after the duel, Ye Yuan had a medicinal theory lesson.


    The medicinal theory lesson''s teacher was Feng Ruoqing, the youngest teacher in the entire Dan Wu Academy. She was also a ridiculously beautiful teacher with countless pursuers.


    Fen Ruoqing''s medicinal theory classes were always fully packed. Even if the other instructors whipped their horses, they also could not catch up. Furthermore, every student would be thoroughly engrossed and kept their gaze fixed on Feng Ruoqing.


    The initially dry and boring medicinal theory class even appeared to be interesting.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have too much enthusiasm for it. Currently, he was snoring away. Yesterday night, he expended a tremendous amount of essence energy to extract and refine transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills and was currently completely exhausted.


    Every high-tier alchemist was also an array master. Someone at the Alchemy Emperor level like Ye Yuan naturally was not an exception.


    High-tier medicinal pills required the inscription of arrays in order to attain the best medicinal effects. Hence, array formations were compulsory lessons for high-tier alchemists.


    Although the Six Astral Array was not some high-tier array, extracting and refining tens of thousands of Essence Qi Pills still drained Ye Yuan completely. Even so, Ye Yuan still had yet not finished extracting and refining. Tonight will be another long night, so how could he not catch up on his sleep?


    By the time all of the pills were extracted and refined completely, Ye Yuan would have several thousand of transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills. This amount would definitely shock anyone.


    The difference between transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills and high-grade Essence Qi Pills was basically that there were prices, but no sellers.


    How could something that even Alchemy Grandmasters could refine only when they were lucky to circulate freely on the market?


    The moment a medicinal pill reached the transcendent-grade, there would be a qualitative change.


    With regards to medicinal efficacy, a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill was already no longer inferior to a low-grade Explosive Yuan Pill. Furthermore, transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills had no side-effects at all. Even if one used it all the way to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, their body would not develop any resistance to it!


    Of course, the pre-requisite was that one had to have a lot of transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills in the first place.


    Who would dare to eat transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills like jelly beans?


    Except for Ye Yuan . . .


    Although the Explosive Yuan Pill might be good, firstly, its tier was a little high. Secondly, with Ye Yuan''s current strength, he could not guarantee that every pill refined will be high-grade or superior-grade, let alone transcendent-grade.


    Even though Explosive Yuan Pill used only Tier 1 ingredients, it was still much more expensive than Essence Qi Pill. Even Ye Hang would not be able to provide it endlessly.


    Under these circumstances, transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills were without a doubt the most suitable medicinal pills for Ye Yuan.


    However, even though transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills were good, it was so damn tiring!


    "The Seven Star Lotus''s attribute is water, and it is a yin attribute. Commonly found within a spirit lake, it''s suitable for refining . . ." Feng Ruoqing threw the ''Herbal Essentials'' book on the table, as her words continued to flow easily. Clearly, she already knew all these medicinal herbs'' attributes like the back of her hand.


    Feng Ruoqing was young and already a middle-rank Alchemy Master. This made many seniors perspire in embarrassment.


    One had to know that even though Master Qian employed by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was a high-rank Alchemy Master, his age was even greater than Feng Ruoqing by half a sixty-year cycle. That was the disparity in talent!


    Feng Ruoqing walked lightly while talking about the subject with great familiarity, and the students'' gaze swayed along with her body.


    All of a sudden, Feng Ruoqing frowned lightly and stopped the lesson.


    Everybody could tell that Feng Ruoqing was unhappy.


    Everyone followed her gaze only see someone bent over the desk fast asleep, while drool was coming out of his mouth.


    In a moment, many scornful eyes shot towards Ye Yuan.


    How could there be someone who was so daring as to sleep during Teacher Feng''s class? So offensive to a beauty!


    However, Ye Yuan was currently in dreamland, and could not feel everyone''s eyes filled with enmity.


    Feng Ruoqing lifted her hand and casually shot out two wind blades.


    Kacha! The table legs broke into two, and the table fell to the ground with a crash.


    The area under Ye Yuan''s hands became empty space, and he was stunned awake; nearly falling to the ground.


    Fortunately, his movement technique was already at the acme of perfection, so he managed to stabilize his figure.


    "What happened?" Ye Yuan obviously still was not aware of the situation.


    But he immediately discovered something was off, because all the students were staring at him, and the beautiful teacher in front of him had a fierce expression. He quickly realized what happened.


    "Ah . . . Haha . . . Teacher Feng, you know this; I just experienced a deathmatch yesterday, and I exhausted too much essence energy. I still haven''t recovered after one night so I couldn''t help myself from falling asleep. Haha . . ." Ye Yuan tried to laugh and smoke his way through.


    Feng Ruoqing did not recognize Ye Yuan, but she had indeed heard about the deathmatch yesterday that caused a huge commotion.


    Hearing what Ye Yuan said, Feng Ruoqing''s expression became slightly better. But Feng Ruoqing felt that behavior like sleeping during class should not be tolerated.


    "You are that Ye Yuan?"


    "Haha. I''m that Ye Yuan"


    "Don''t be cheeky during the lesson!"


    "Ah. Yes yes, Teacher Feng is right. I will be serious!"


    "En. If it''s because of the deathmatch, then it''s still understandable." Ye Yuan thought that this was over, but who knew that Feng Ruoqing would change the subject. "However, in the Dan Wu Academy, the Alchemy Path is as equally important as the Martial Path. Medicinal theory class is also the foundation of Alchemy Dao. Someone like you who sleeps in class is delaying your future!"


    Ye Yuan apologized with sincerity. "Teacher Feng, I was wrong. I won''t sleep during your lesson ever again."


    "Humph! Not just my lesson; you are not allowed to sleep in all lessons! Go back and copy the ''Herbal Essentials'' ten times. I will check during the next lesson," Feng Ruoqing said lightly.


    "Ah? T-ten times?" Ye Yuan was stunned.


    The ''Herbal Essentials'' was a simplified version of the ''Herbal Compendium'' written by an Alchemy Sovereign of his generation, Li Shizhen. It covered a systemic overview of all sorts of medicinal herbs.


    Although it''s a simplified version, it was still a very thick book. Copying it ten times was too horrifying!


    Ye Yuan had some impression of the name Li Shizhen; he came to apprentice himself to his father, Zhengyang Zi. Back then, Qingyun Zi happened to be at the scene.


    That punk . . . after I return to the Divine Realm, I will definitely show him some colors! I should teach him what shouldn''t be written, to actually write such a thick book!


    Since he already wrote such a thick book, then forget it. But there were so many things inside that were incorrect. Wasn''t this harming others?!


    "That''s right, ten times! Any complaints?" Feng Ruoqing felt that she absolutely could not tolerate this matter, so as to serve as a warning to others.


    "Yes, I have!" Ye Yuan cried out.


    Ye Yuan''s words stunned Feng Ruoqing, along with all the other students.


    In the students'' opinion, being punished by Teacher Feng who was as beautiful as a heavenly fairy was something wonderful. Why would there be any complaints?


    The way Feng Ruoqing saw it, this was the first time that she was rebuffed in the academy. Furthermore, it was a man. Moreover, he was even a student!


    "The things inside here are so simple. Isn''t copying it a waste of time? If there''s time, then it''s better off to just refine two furnaces of medicinal pills." Ye Yuan refused to give in.


    Right now, Ye Yuan''s time was very precious. He did not want to waste it on these trivial matters.


    What a joke. Was there anyone who understood medicinal theories better than him in this world?


    Even if Li Shizhen personally came back, he would not even be fit to carry his shoes!


    "Simple? Haha . . ." Feng Ruoqing was so angered by Ye Yuan that she started laughing.


    ''Herbal Essentials'' was not only one of the compulsory lessons for an alchemist but also a highly profound course. Even if Alchemy Kings were to come, they would not dare say that this course was simple.


    Yet, this brat who was not even an Alchemy Apprentice actually said it was easy.

 Chapter 37: Assistant

    Chapter 37: Assistant


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Within the Dan Wu Academy, Feng Ruoqing had always been an existence who everyone looked up to.


    The reason why she taught medicinal theory was naturally that her attainments in medicinal theory were very high.


    But even the current Feng Ruoqing did not dare to say that she had a thorough grasp on the ''Herbal Essentials,'' let alone its full version, ''Herbal Compendium.'' That was the syllabus that even an Alchemy King needed to devote all his attention to study.


    And now, this punk in front of her who was not even an Alchemy Apprentice actually said that ''Herbal Essentials'' was simple. This was simply humiliating all her years of hard work.


    Ye Yuan did not seem to hear the meaning inside Feng Ruoqing''s words and casually said, "Yeah, it''s too simple. The person who wrote the book didn''t observe and study properly."


    Everyone was gloating over Ye Yuan''s misfortunate currently. They wanted to see just how Teacher Feng would punish this fool.


    Many among them were cheated out of Essence Qi Pills by Ye Yuan. Now that they saw Ye Yuan being beaten, they naturally welcomed it.


    During the deathmatch, the shock that Ye Yuan gave them was too great, making them feel that the current Ye Yuan was no longer the man he was. But looking at things today, Ye Yuan was indeed still that Ye Yuan of the past.


    Ignorant and fearless!


    "Good! Good!" Feng Ruoqing said two ''good'' in a row. It was clear that she was extremely angry. "I want to see just how ''Herbal Essentials'' is easy. I will ask a question. If you can answer it, then in future medicinal theory classes, you can sleep however you like. But, if you can''t answer, I want you to copy the ''Herbal Essentials'' one hundred times!"


    The way other people saw it, Ye Yuan was definitely dead.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s combat prowess was abnormally strong now, he was not even an Alchemy Apprentice. So how could he possibly answer the questions from the middle-tier Alchemy Master, Teacher Feng?


    But Ye Yuan himself let out a sigh of relief. Answering questions were much better. He did not want to copy that stupid ''Herbal Essentials'' ten times.


    In terms of medicinal theory, who dared to compete with him?


    "That''s great. Teacher Feng, please ask your question."


    Looking at how impatient Ye Yuan was, Feng Ruoqing was incensed and thought to herself that he would cry later.


    Feng Ruoqing pulled a long face and said, "What medicinal herbs are used in refining Qi Returning Pill? What are the steps involved in the refinement?"


    Feng Ruoqing asked this in a single breath and stared coldly at Ye Yuan.


    The other students also stared at Ye Yuan, gloating at his misfortune. They knew that Ye Yuan was definitely going to make a fool of himself.


    A Qi Returning Pill was a high-grade Tier 1 medicinal pill, something that martial artists used to recover their essence energy. Refining it required at least the power of a high-tier Alchemy Apprentice. To the Ye Yuan who was not even an Alchemy Apprentice, it was absolutely a highly challenging question.


    Among the students, there were only a few who could refine this sort of medicinal pill.


    Since nobody could refine it, there would obviously be no one who would pay attention to the pill formula of the Qi Returning Pill. Let alone paying any attention to its theory and points to take note of.


    Hence, nobody thought that Ye Yuan could answer the question.


    Ye Yuan touched his chin and said, "Oh, Qi Returning Pill? Simple. The core ingredients are the Jade Toad''s inner core and Crimson Sun Sword Toothed Flower. The secondary ingredients are Four Seasons Azure, Wind-Tail Grass, Sky Southern Star, and etc. One has to pay some attention to the procedure. Separate the secondary ingredients into two portions to temper; one of it with Jade Toad''s Inner core, and the other with Crimson Sun Sword Toothed Flower; in order to extract two portions of the medicinal essence. Then, refine it in the furnace at the same time, and finally, merge it into one."


    After Ye Yuan said finished, everybody started laughing.


    They did not know the pill formula, but this refinement technique was complete rubbish. Splitting the ingredients into two portions, then extracting and refining two portions of the medicinal essence, and finally into the furnace? How does one control it? And also, how would one merge it?


    This sort of refinement technique was unheard of. One could only say that this Ye Yuan knew nothing about it and was trying to hoodwink Feng Ruoqing!


    To dare play tricks on Teacher Feng, this fellow was going to suffer for it.


    A hundred times, oh , one hundred times!


    Who asked you to scam our Essence Qi pills! You deserved it!


    After a series of laughter, everyone still did not hear Teacher Feng''s exasperated reprimanding.


    Looking again, Teacher Feng''s face showed a thoughtful expression. Everyone could not help but question the situation. Could it be that this fellow actually managed to fool Teacher Feng?


    "Ooo? You are saying Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?" Feng Ruoqing asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Teacher Feng is indeed well-read, to even know Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique."


    Ye Yuan did some research on the Dan Wu Academy''s refinement techniques. This Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was a rather obscure refinement technique which the average person would not know.


    Saying it was obscure was because it was too difficult to learn. The average person could not grasp it at all.


    Controlling two separate medicinal essences in a furnace of medicinal pills and not letting the two medicinal essences touch at all required one to split their focus. Furthermore, the control over essence energy had to be extremely even. The difficulty involved could not be imagined.


    It was impossible to control without going through severe training and being repeatedly tempered with experience.


    However, this was not even hard for Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had perfect command over refinement techniques that were even a hundred times, a thousand times more complex.


    "If one uses Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, is it also appropriate for Duo-Cycle Qi Returning Pill?" The initially cold and prideful Feng Ruoqing looked like a student thirsting for knowledge currently, making everyone''s glasses dropped in shock.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was also a genius in alchemy? The things that he said completely exceeded the understanding of all the students here.


    "Of course, it''s appropriate. It''s just that the ingredients for the Duo-Cycle Qi Returning Pill are a little more complex, and the refinement process is also a bit more complicated. But the principle still applies. Using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique is naturally fitting."


    Ye Yuan''s words flowed with ease as if he was the teacher now, and the well-read Feng Ruoqing had become the student.


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes lit up, and she muttered to herself, "That''s right. Why didn''t I think of using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?"


    A Duo-Cycle Qi Returning Pill was a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill. Currently, Feng Ruoqing was a middle-tier Alchemy Master; her soul strength was between middle-tier Alchemy Master and high-tier Alchemy Master. Being slightly inadequate, the refinement was obviously very taxing.


    But this Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique could avoid the weakness of insufficient soul strength, as tempering two smaller portions of medicinal essence separately would be much easier than controlling one large portion of the medicinal essence. It was just that the requirement for an alchemist''s control ability was too demanding.


    In addition, the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique had another advantage, which was separating the core ingredients allowed their medicinal efficacy to be preserved to the highest degree, resulting in an even higher quality pill after refinement!


    If an alchemist was highly proficient in using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, the quality of the medicinal pill that he refined would be higher than other alchemists of the same level.


    Having said that, conventional refinement techniques were already more than enough for alchemists to study. To also study an obscure technique like the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was simply asking for trouble.


    Hence, even though the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was powerful, little to nobody knew it.


    "Uh. Teacher Feng, since I already answered, can I go back to sleep now? You just look at my table . . ." Ye Yuan said with an innocent face.


    "You!" Feng Ruoqing never expected that this fellow was still concerned about his sleep right now. Her originally subsided wrath surged once again.


    "Teacher Feng, you were the one who said it just now. If I could answer your question, then I can sleep however I want. Uh. Even though it isn''t very polite, but I''m really very tired right now . . ." Ye Yuan had a troubled face.


    Feng Ruoqing looked at Ye Yuan''s pair of panda eyes and knew that Ye Yuan was not lying. But what did this fellow do yesterday? Even if he went through a deathmatch yesterday, he should not be so tired today, right?


    "Did I say anything?" Feng Ruoqing blinked her eyes, and gave every student a threatening glance, asking, "Did I say anything just now?"


    Being unreasonable was the privilege of a woman, especially it was this unparalleled beauty, Teacher Feng Ruoqing.


    All the students were petrified, and many revealed embarrassed expressions. "Ah? S-said what? D-didn''t say anything. That''s right. How could Teacher Feng possibly say something like that?"


    Ye Yuan was thoroughly defeated. Right now, the only thing he wanted to do was to sleep . . .


    "T-teacher Feng . . ."


    "Oh? It''s not impossible to go back to sleep, but you have to promise me one thing!"


    So it turns out the reason was here! But right now . . .


    "Let alone one thing, even ten things will do."


    "Good. I need a student to be my assistant. You will be my assistant."


    Everyone was petrified once more. . .


    Why did not such a wonderful chore happen to them?!


    Whoosh . . .


    Executing Instant Flash, Ye Yuan was gone, leaving his voice echoing on the spot, "No problem . . ."

 Chapter 38: Advancement Test

    Chapter 38: Advancement Test


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Under the stunned eyes of all the students, Ye Yuan slipped away, leaving Feng Ruoqing looking somewhat bitter.


    However, Ye Yuan could not be bothered anymore. He was seriously too sleepy.


    How could he not catch up on sleep when he would have another fierce battle at night?


    As for becoming an assistant, Ye Yuan only casually agreed to it. At that moment, he did not have any choice.


    Feng Ruoqing was a genuine Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. If she did not let Ye Yuan go, then he would absolutely not be able to leave, even with his Instant Flash.


    Back at his residence, Ye Yuan slept all the way till dusk before waking up leisurely.


    Throwing a transcendent-grade Qi Returning Pill down his throat, plus the recovery rate while he was sleeping, essence energy in his body was quickly restored.


    This Qi Returning Pill was refined before Ye Yuan set off, and it came quite handy now.


    After his essence energy was restored, Ye Yuan continued using the Six Astral Array to refine transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills.


    This was a colossal project. Tens of thousands of high-grade Essence Qi Pills . . . Even if one refined six each time, it would make several thousand transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills.


    And just like this, Ye Yuan slept during the day and refined pills during the night.


    At dusk two days later, Ye Yuan had just woken up and was about to refine the last batch of transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills, when an unexpected guest arrived. It was the host of the deathmatch, Huyan Yong.


    Ye Yuan was called out by Lu-er. He then blocked the entrance to the room in a weird manner to avoid Huyan Yong from being able to peer inside.


    "Haha. Hello, Teacher Huyan. Are you looking for me for something? I still have some matters to attend to, so let''s keep it short, shall we?" Ye Yuan laughed and said to Huyan Yong.


    Huyan Yong was not someone who bothered with such trivialities and did not become angry at Ye Yuan''s behavior. He asked curiously, "Since I''m here, you are not going to invite me in to have a seat?"


    Ye Yuan stood vigilantly in front of the door without any intention of letting him in. If he were to let Huyan Yong see that he could freely refine transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills . . . at that time, not only the Dan Wu Academy, the entire state of Qin would be in chaos.


    "That . . . It''s too messy inside. So it''s better for Teacher Huyan to not go in. After I clean up, I will invite Teacher Huyan over to have a cup of tea another day." Ye Yuan tried to evade the question.


    Ye Yuan had heard before that Huyan Yong was usually a little cold, but he was a very fair and honest man. So he was not afraid that he would barge in.


    Huyan Yong knew that Ye Yuan was clearly doing something fishy inside, but the residences of students were private after all. It would not be reasonable of him to barge in, so he gave up.


    "Alright then. I will await your invitation."


    Ye Yuan was only being polite, but he never expected that Huyan Yong would just follow up like that.


    Everyone said that Huyan Yong was infatuated with Martial Dao and did not curry favor with anyone. Why was he so different today?


    "I came to look for you because I wanted to tell you that with your current strength, you should be able to barely make it into Black rank. So you can go take the advancement test already," Huyan Yong said his intention for visiting.


    In the Dan Wu Academy, what rank you were in was not determined by cultivation realm, but actual combat power.


    If a student felt that his power was sufficient, then he could undergo the advancement test at the Illusionary Spirit Tower. The moment he passed, he would advance a rank. And Huyan Yong was the teacher in charge of the advancement test.


    In reality, many of the Black Rank students in the Dan Wu Academy got in through connections. Their potential was limited, so they belonged to the type where they just sit around doing nothing, waiting to die. The true elites were in Earth Rank and above.


    Previously, Ye Yuan naturally also belonged to the type who just sat around waiting to die.


    Fei Qingping''s strength was initially already outstanding among the Black Rank students. After rising to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, he already possessed the strength to take on the Black Rank test.


    However, if that were simply the case, Huyan Yong would not personally look for Ye Yuan to take the test.


    Challenging the Illusionary Spirit Tower was a student''s personal matter. He could not even be bothered to go and urge the students.


    During the deathmatch, Huyan Yong developed a strong interest in Ye Yuan, this dark horse.


    Clearly, there were many secrets on Ye Yuan''s body. Of course, this was not something amazing. Which accomplished person did not carry secrets on them?


    Martial Roll of Honor''s rank one, Long Tang, and rank two, Zuo Bugui. These people definitely all had their own lucky encounters. This was not something that the academy would be bothered with. What the academy needed were powerful students.


    Even though Ye Yuan was only at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm right now, he managed to kill the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm Fei Qingping during the deathmatch.


    But most importantly, Huyan Yong felt that Ye Yuan did not go all out during the deathmatch. He really wanted to see where Ye Yuan''s limits were.


    The Illusionary Spirit Tower test was naturally a good place to test Ye Yuan''s true power.


    In the Dan Wu Academy, students would rush to take the test once their strength reached the standard for advancing. However, Huyan Yong heard that Ye Yuan spent the past few days sleeping during the lesson and did not seem to have any intention of participating in the test. Therefore, he personally came to look for Ye Yuan to take the test.


    "Ah? Advancement test? Alright, when can I join?" Ye Yuan was stunned for a moment before readily accepting.


    These few days, Ye Yuan was only thinking of increasing his strength as soon as possible, which was why he forgot about joining the advancement test.


    Someone who did not incur the jealousy of others was a mediocre person. Ye Yuan was not afraid of showing off his abilities.


    Ye Yuan was an Alchemy Emperor previously and did not need to be overly cautious within this tiny Dan Wu Academy. He also wanted to see just where the current limits of his strength were.


    Ye Yuan''s reply made Huyan Yong a little surprised. He thought that Ye Yuan had some difficult dilemma, which was why he did not rush to join the test.


    "Any time will do," Huyan Yong said.


    "Alright. Then I will go over to the Illusionary Spirit Tower tomorrow morning," Ye Yuan thought about it for a moment before replying.


    Huyan Yong nodded and turned to leave.


    "Just a moment, Teacher Huyan," Ye Yuan suddenly recalled a matter and called out to Huyan Yong.


    "Anything else?"


    "I want to let my maidservant participate in the academy''s entrance test. I wonder if Teacher Huyan could arrange for it."


    Lu-er had followed Ye Yuan into the Dan Wu Academy for quite a few days already. However, Ye Yuan was always busy these few days, so he was not free to help her settle down. Today, since he coincidentally met up with Huyan Yong, it did not seem like an unreasonable matter to ask him to arrange the test for her.


    According to the academy''s rules, students were not allowed to freely bring followers into the academy no matter how powerful their background was. There was no issue for Lu-er to stay a few days temporarily, but the academy would definitely investigate after a while.


    "That young lady just now? At such a young age and already at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. I suppose she barely qualifies to participate in the test. Alright, bring her along with you tomorrow," Huyan Yong nodded his head and said to Ye Yuan.


    With Huyan Yong''s cultivation, he naturally could see Lu-er''s strength at a glance.


    Lu-er was younger than Ye Yuan by one year. Being able to cultivate to Third Level Essence Qi Realm was barely passable. Huyan Yong obviously would not mind too much.


    However, who knows what his thoughts would be if he were to find out that it took less than a month for Lu-er to cultivate essence energy to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    In reality, even Ye Yuan was highly astonished by Lu-er''s cultivation speed.


    She used a single night to reach the First Level Essence Qi Realm, and after five days under the aid of Ye Yuan''s Explosive Yuan Pill, she successfully broke through to the Second Level Essence Qi Realm.


    And yesterday after consuming transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills consecutively, Lu-er broke through once more, reaching the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, almost catching up to Ye Yuan.


    If this sort of cultivation speed were spread out, it would be an absolutely astounding matter.


    Even though there was the aid of medicinal pills, Lu-er''s monstrous talent was even more important. In front of Lu-er, all those so-called geniuses in the State of Qin were overshadowed by her.


    Obviously, there was also the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul that Ye Yuan taught her. It was as if it were custom-made for Lu-er, making her cultivate quite successfully with ease.


    Lu-er was naturally gifted. These past few days, Ye Yuan taught her several suitable martial techniques. She quickly grasped them, as if she was born just for cultivation.


    Lu-er''s current strength was absolutely no weaker than the average Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. There should not be a problem to pass the entrance test.


    Both master and servant going to participate in the test together was something worth anticipating.

 Chapter 39: Lin Tiancheng

    Chapter 39: Lin Tiancheng


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    After Ye Yuan successfully refined the last transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill, he let out a long sigh of relief.


    These few days of refining had squeezed his essence energy dry over and over again, torturing him half dead.


    However, the hard work paid off. By constantly draining his essence energy, unknowingly, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm had thoroughly stabilized.


    Right now, he was only one step away from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. As long as the accumulation of essence energy was sufficient, Ye Yuan could break through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at any time.


    What''s left was naturally stuffing himself with pills.


    "Huuu. Finally done. Lu-er, help me stand guard, I''m going to break through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm," Ye Yuan instructed Lu-er.


    The last batch of pills left today weren''t many, so Ye Yuan did not expend too much essence energy.


    After taking a Qi Returning Pill and meditating for an hour, Ye Yuan recovered to his peak condition.


    Casually taking out five transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills and throwing them into his mouth, Ye Yuan executed the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and started to impact through the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    If it were some other Third Level Essence Qi Realm, they would definitely die due to the violent essence energy just from consuming five transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills at once.


    However, Ye Yuan''s Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was just too powerful. The violent essence energy was currently as obedient as a lamb as it moved along Ye Yuan''s meridians; it even appeared to lack the strength to carry on.


    Without thinking too much, Ye Yuan swallowed another three transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills before the essence energy barely managed to reach the requirement.


    Ye Yuan revolved around his thick and abundant essence energy, impacting through the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm bottleneck. Unlike other people, he did not encounter a large resistance and surged forth like a current; slowly, yet powerfully.


    The Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    A bottleneck that would take several months, even a year for an ordinary person to break through, only took Ye Yuan two hours.


    However, Ye Yuan did not stop cultivating. He continued to swallow transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills non-stop, only ceasing when he reached the peak of Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Sensing essence energy that was several times thicker than when he was at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, Ye Yuan shook his head instead.


    "Still too weak! I wonder when I will have the strength to charge back to the Divine Realm. However, if I were to have a deathmatch with Fei Qingping here once more, I can instantly kill him with only First Layer Wave."


    After a night of cultivation, the sun was already up, and it was almost time to go look for Huyan Yong.


    Ye Yuan had just advanced to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, so his fatigue was swept away long ago. Presently, Lu-er was also a cultivator. Meditating one night did not have much effect on her.


    Master and servant went to the Illusionary Spirit Tower together. Huyan Yong had already been waiting there for a long time.


    "Hello, Teacher Huyan," Ye Yuan brought Lu-er up and greeted him.


    Huyan Yong nodded and acknowledged him calmly.


    Huyan Yong instinctively swept his divine sense over Ye Yuan''s body, and his initially cold face revealed a slight astonishment.


    "I didn''t see you for one night, and you are already at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm?" Huyan Yong asked in amazement.


    "Haha. Lucky, lucky," Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    Huyan Yong shook his head and said, "At first, other people said that your cultivation realm was forcefully raised by your father. But I knew that it wasn''t the case after watching your deathmatch. However, I never expected that you would advance a small stage, rising to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    "In any case, I''m an Alchemy Grandmaster''s son who mainly grew up eating medicinal pills. If I still can''t reach Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm at this age, I will be throwing my father''s face," Ye Yuan said, his words being half genuine, half false.


    Huyan Yong nodded and did not say much, as if in silent agreement with what Ye Yuan said.


    "The test hasn''t started yet. You two wait awhile," Huyan Yong said.


    Clearly, it was not only Ye Yuan and Lu-er who were participating in the test. There were already over a dozen people waiting there.


    "Alright, Teacher Huyan." Ye Yuan didn''t waste his breath and brought Lu-er to stand with that group of people.


    However, Ye Yuan''s appearance caused a stir.


    Presently, he was too famous. Not only did he kill Fei Qingping who was higher than him by two minor cultivation realms in a deathmatch, but he also scammed thousands of Essence Qi Pills from several hundred students.


    Even if they did not want to recognize him, they could not.


    "You guys, isn''t that Ye Yuan over there? He also came to participate in the advancement test?"


    "What''s so strange about it? That Fei Qingping already barely had strength close to the Black rank. Since Ye Yuan could finish him off, isn''t it very normal to join the advancement test?"


    "That makes sense. But for a Third Level Essence Qi Realm to join the Black rank test, he can be considered exceptional."


    "Don''t be silly. Back then, wasn''t Senior Apprentice Brother Long also at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm when he participated in the Black rank test? No matter how powerful Ye Yuan is, can he be stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long?"


    "But his Stacking Waves Layered Palm was trained until the Second Layer Wave. Surely he''s at least stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Long in that aspect? Senior Apprentice Brother Long trained for a month before barely mastering the First Layer Wave."


    "Tsk. He was just lucky that the martial technique suited him. How can he possibly compare with Senior Apprentice Brother Long?"


    "Then how do you explain his great circle stage Instant Flash?"


    " . . . . . ."


    "Yii? Look."


    "Look at what? Making such a fuss."


    "Ye Yuan seems to have . . . broken through . . ."


    "Broken through what? H-he . . . he is already at Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm! Heavens! Is this fellow still human? How many days has it only been since he advanced to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm."


    " . . . . . ."


    When these two people discovered that Ye Yuan broke through, their expressions were like they have seen a ghost.


    At this moment, others also clearly noticed that Ye Yuan broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, and their eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became peculiar.


    "Haha. What''s everyone looking at me for? I know I''m very handsome, but I don''t swing that way. So don''t look at me with that sort of expression, alright? Isn''t it just breaking through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? It''s not like it''s something major. All of you Senior Apprentice Brothers have a higher cultivation realm than me, so can everybody stop being so amazed?" Ye Yuan was not uncomfortable with the attention and just brushed it off casually.


    Everybody was collectively made speechless. Was this fellow here to posture?


    Breaking through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm was the first threshold on the Martial Path. Who among them would not exercise extreme caution, spending large amounts of time to accumulate before breaking through?


    But Ye Yuan only used a few days before crossing it. Now, he assumed a manner like it was too easy. He was really asking for a beating!


    "Isn''t it just breaking through to Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? What''s there to be surprised about? No matter how he jumps around, isn''t it just Black Rank? Even if he reached the Black Rank, he is still just trash."


    The discussion was broken by an arrogant voice filled with condescension.


    "It''s Senior Apprentice Brother Lin Tiancheng. He is currently a student in the Earth Rank most likely to advance to the Heaven Rank! I didn''t expect him to also participate in this advancement test. Looks like he is almost certain that he can advance to Heaven Rank this time." Very quickly, someone recognized the owner of the voice.


    Lin Tiancheng slowly walked with his hands behind his back in front of Ye Yuan, bringing with him an overbearing pressure and asked, "You are Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit uncomfortable facing Lin Tiancheng''s pressure and said calmly, "I don''t know if the Ye Yuan you are talking about is me, but I am indeed called Ye Yuan."


    "Humph! What a glib tongue! These few days, all I''ve been hearing are all sorts of clamoring about you. Today, I want to see if you really are as incredible as they say," Lin Tiancheng said with a face full of disdain.


    "Is that so? I''m actually so famous now? To think that even Senior Apprentice Brother Lin hear my name all the time. However, I think it''s my first time hearing of Senior Apprentice Brother Lin today. I wonder if . . . Senior Apprentice Brother Lin can advance to Heaven Rank today. This Junior Apprentice Brother, I, wish that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin won''t stumble and fail."


    Ye Yuan still had an exaggerated expression, but the words that came out of his mouth made everyone break into a sweat.


    This fellow seemed to be cursing Lin Tiancheng to fail . . .


    However, these words really struck Lin Tiancheng''s soft spot . . .

 Chapter 40: Entering the Illusionary Spirit Tower

    Chapter 40: Entering the Illusionary Spirit Tower


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    When people said that Lin Tiancheng was one of the strongest people in the Earth Rank, they were not talking about how talented he was.


    In reality, this was already Lin Tiancheng''s fourth time participating in the advancement test.


    Those in the same batch as him, even some students who were in the recent batch, many of them had already advanced to the Heaven Rank. He was the strongest among the remaining few who had yet to advance.


    This was Lin Tiancheng''s greatest shame. Hence, it was a taboo for others to mention this in front of him. Low ranking students would take special care to avoid it.


    Whether it was a coincidence or not, Ye Yuan''s words struck Ling Tiancheng''s soft spot.


    Lin Tiancheng''s face visibly changed color. Glaring fiercely at Ye Yuan, he said, "You have guts! To actually talk like this to your senior apprentice brother! I think you are courting death!"


    As he said this, Lin Tiancheng gathered his essence energy and smacked a palm towards Ye Yuan.


    Smash!


    Ye Yuan stood there without moving, but Lin Tiancheng flew backward instead.


    Rolling on the ground, Lin Tiancheng barely managed to stabilize his body, looking extremely ragged.


    "Which bastard ambushed me?!" Lin Tiancheng bellowed angrily.


    The moment he said this, Lin Tiancheng saw that the surrounding people looked at him with odd expressions and was not sure what it meant.


    "Lin Tiancheng, you got the nerve to actually attack right in front of me?!" Huyan Yong''s icy voice sounded out, making Lin Tiancheng shudder involuntarily.


    Facing Huyan Yong, how would Lin Tiancheng have the courage to resist?


    He broke into a cold sweat. To actually scold Teacher Huyan a bastard, isn''t that courting death? Huyan Yong was the person hosting the test. If he was to secretly play some tricks, wouldn''t he have to return in defeat?


    If Huyan Yong bore a grudge, then he can forget about advancing ranks for life.


    "S-sorry Teacher Huyan. I-I didn''t know it was you," Lin Tiancheng hurriedly apologized.


    Huyan Yong was expressionless as he said, "The Illusionary Spirit Tower is the place for advancement tests. You actually dared to take action without my permission? If you affect the other students'' test, can you handle the responsibility?"


    "Teacher Huyan, I . . . He. . . ridiculed me with words on purpose to agitate me into making a move!" Lin Tiancheng did not dare to offend Huyan Yong, so he naturally pushed the blame to Ye Yuan.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, you can''t slander good people. I was clearly wishing you success in your test, but I don''t know how I provoked you to actually attack me. Could it be that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin came here to participate in the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s test, but don''t want to advance?" Ye Yuan gave a perplexed face.


    Just now, Ye Yuan indeed told Lin Tiancheng to take care not to stumble and fail. It was impossible to find a problem with those words. Except, looking at that exaggerated expression, nobody would believe that he was wishing Lin Tiancheng well.


    The pitiful Lin Tiancheng still did not know that Ye Yuan came today to join the test today because Huyan Yong personally invited him.


    Without mentioning the fact that the matter was stirred up by Lin Tiancheng, even if he was in the right, it was impossible for Huyan Yong to stand on his side.


    "I already saw what happened just now. From the start until the end, it was you who was doing all the mocking. Do you think that I, this examiner, am so easy to be deceived?" Huyan Yong''s voice became increasingly colder.


    "N-n-no, I . . ."


    "Stay here and don''t move! Considering that it was your first infraction, I will overlook it. But, if you violate the rules again, I will revoke your assessment rights!"


    Lin Tiancheng did not dare to talk back anymore and quietly went to wait by the side.


    After waiting for a while, students came one by one. After around 50 people were gathered, Huyan Yong once again appeared in front of everyone.


    "Now that everyone is present, in a while, I will open up the restrictions. The Illusionary Spirit Tower will automatically send you to the test site corresponding to your cultivation! Many of you had undergone the advancement test before, but it''s the first time for a few of you, so I will briefly go through."


    Huyan Yong briefly summarized the important points about the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    Actually, he was explaining especially for Ye Yuan and Lu-er. In this batch, apart from Ye Yuan and Lu-er, everybody else had participated in the advancement test before.


    Forgetting about Lu-er, Ye Yuan by right should have gone through the entrance test in the Illusionary Spirit Tower before. But his predecessor was just too weak, and it was impossible for him to have passed the test in the Illusionary Spirit Tower. Thus, Ye Hang pulled a lot of strings back then before managing to shove Ye Yuan in here. Therefore, he had never even gone to the Illusionary Spirit Tower before.


    Feeling the layers of restrictions on the Illusionary Spirit Tower, Ye Yuan praised and commented, "So it''s a 32 restrictions Spirit Artifact. Tranquil Cloud Sect does indeed have some means."


    A 32 restrictions Spirit Artifact naturally was not much in Ye Yuan''s eyes. However, even though this Spirit Artifact''s rank was not high, it had some unique features, making it suitable to being used for the students'' advancement testing.


    This Illusionary Spirit Tower seemed to have been specially developed by the Tranquil Cloud Sect for assessing student into ranks. There are a total of five regions, namely, Entry Advancement, Yellow Rank Advancement, Black Rank Advancement, Earth Rank Advancement, and Heaven Rank Advancement.


    The first four regions corresponded to the four student rankings in the Dan Wu Academy. Passing the Entry Advancement allows one to advance to the Yellow Rank. Passing the Yellow Rank Advancement allowed one to advance to the Black Rank, and so on. 1


    Lastly, the Heaven Rank Advancement was what the Tranquil Cloud Sect used to determine if Heaven rank students were qualified to enter the sect. It was a test for becoming outer-sect disciples.


    Clearly, the difficulty of the five tests increased progressively. By the time it was the Black Rank Advancement test, the difficulty was already rather over the top.


    In reality, Lin Tiancheng''s talent was not bad. It was just that the Earth Rank Advancement test was truly too outrageous. That was why he failed repeatedly. There were many students like him among the Earth Rank students.


    As for the Heaven Rank Advancement test . . .


    "I really hope that one of you will be qualified to participate in that test during your student life here in the Dan Wu Academy," Huyan Yong told the students.


    Huyan Yong''s words did not stir too much of a reaction from everyone. Clearly, they all knew just how terrifying the test was.


    What Huyan Yong said was ''qualified,'' and not to ''pass.'' That is to say that none of the people here would even get the chance to attempt the test before they graduate from the Dan Wu Academy at twenty.


    One could only imagine the difficulty of that test!


    Most of the students here today were participating in the Black Rank Advancement test, aka, the test for a Black Rank to advance to the Earth Rank. A minority was participating in the Yellow Rank Advancement test and the Earth Rank Advancement test. Lu-er was the only person participating in the Entry Advancement test.


    "The first time you enter the Illusionary Spirit Tower, you can take part in multiple rank advancement tests; all the way until you get killed, or voluntarily withdraw. After passing a test, you will automatically be sent to the next test. There, you can make a decision if you want to undergo the next test or not. At that point, the Illusionary Spirit Tower will record the rank advancement test you are killed at. The next time you enter the Illusionary Spirit Tower, you will start anew from that rank. Alright, now enter the Illusionary Spirit Tower!" Clearly, Huyan Yong''s last few sentences were meant for Ye Yuan.


    Huyan Yong then walked in front of the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s gate and gestured his hand up in a half arc in front of him. Faint black essence energy was shot into the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    Following that, the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s gate slowly opened.


    The students participating in the test entered in an orderly manner. The moment they entered the gate, they vanished. It was clear that they were sent away by the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    When it was Lin Tiancheng''s turn to go in, he shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan. "If you can''t advance to the Earth Rank, you will forever be trash! You are considered lucky today with Teacher Huyan helping you. In the future, don''t let me see you in the academy; otherwise, you are dead!"


    After threating Ye Yuan, Lin Tiancheng stepped forward and vanished instantly.


    Ye Yuan gave a laugh and did not take Lin Tiancheng''s warning to heart. He turned to Lu-er and said, "Lu-er, let''s go in too."

 Chapter 41: Gray Dream Tapir

    Chapter 41: Gray Dream Tapir


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan felt his vision went blurry, and then he realized he was transported to a dazzling multi-colored dream world.


    This was evidently an independent space.


    It looks like every layer of this Illusionary Spirit Tower was split into many independent spaces. Each student was in a different space.


    However, this sort of method did not count as mystical in the Divine Realm. But it was already very impressive for a tiny sect in the Lower Realms to be able to use this sort of method to groom students.


    Ye Yuan was at a lost. There was nothing in this empty space. So how could the test take place?


    At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded out.


    "Welcome to the Illusionary Spirit Tower. This is your first time coming to the Illusionary Spirit Tower. You will undergo the Entry Advancement test shortly. I am your guide during this test."


    Ye Yuan did not make a fuss over it as he knew that it was definitely the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s artifact spirit.


    However, what made Ye Yuan surprised was that he was actually sent to the Entry Advancement test.


    It looks like the Illusionary Spirit Tower will automatically send first-time students to the Entry Advancement test. As a result, Ye Yuan and Lu-er were now standing on the same starting line.


    "What am I supposed to do now?" Ye Yuan asked.


    The artifact spirit seemed to hesitate for a moment, being somewhat surprised at Ye Yuan''s composure.


    As the artifact spirit was in charge of the advancement test, it had directed countless of students before. This was its first time meeting a student as composed as Ye Yuan.


    "Right now, just sit down and meditate. I will bring you to the test. Later, don''t attempt to resist whatever that happens. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself," said the artifact spirit.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, and he just sat down and meditated right away.


    He was a little curious, however, at just how the artifact spirit would conduct the test.


    A moment later, Ye Yuan felt his body starting to feel light. Falling into a trance, he entered an empty training room.


    Seeing this situation, the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled into a smile.


    So that''s how it is. This Illusionary Spirit Tower''s artifact spirit is actually a Dream Tapir. The Tranquil Cloud Sect indeed have some impressive methods. A 32 restrictions Spirit Artifact . . . It looks like it should be the lowest ranking Gray Dream Tapir. Conducting tests in a dream world were both safe and fair. It seemed the person who created the Illusionary Spirit Tower was quite brilliant.


    Dream tapirs were bizarre lifeforms which were intricately tied with dream worlds. They have their own consciousness, yet they do not have a fixed shape. They could silently enter the dream world of humans and even demonic beasts, strengthening themselves within the dream.


    Ye Yuan knew that the highest ranking White Dream Tapir existed in the Divine Realm. It possessed incredibly powerful abilities and could even compete with Divine Kings. Their abilities all had to do with dream worlds, making it impossible to guard against.


    This artifact spirit that Ye Yuan met was most likely the lowest ranking Gray Dream Tapir.


    They were willing to become the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s artifact spirit, most likely because they wanted to borrow the students'' dream worlds to strengthen themselves.


    Otherwise, even the lowest ranking Gray Dream Tapir was not something that a tiny sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect could capture.


    One has to know that the State of Qin was not the only country with the Dan Wu Academy. There were similarly also Dan Wu Academies in other countries under the jurisdiction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Their assessment of students was definitely also through the support of the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    Such a large-scale capturing of Gray Dream Tapirs would inevitably incur the vengeance of the Dream Tapir tribe. Unless these Gray Dream Tapirs willingly became artifact spirits.


    Ye Yuan knew that right now, he was already in the dream world.


    Most likely, that independent space just now was meant as the medium whereby the Dream Tapir would cast its Nightmare Skill, bringing students into the dream world.


    While Ye Yuan was expressing his surprise at this methods, he also checked out his strength at the same time.


    To perfectly project my strength in reality inside this dream world . . . The Dream Tapir tribe''s abilities are truly great! This way, there would be no possibility of any trickery. Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.


    Suddenly, a middle-aged brawny-looking man appeared in front of Ye Yuan. He knew that this brawny-looking man was an illusion created by the Gray Dream Tapir. Within the dream world, Dream Tapirs could take the form of anything.


    "Now, I am responsible for your advancement test. The test is about to begin. You can choose your weapon now," the Dream Tapir said.


    "Choose a weapon? Uh . . . Then I choose a sword." Ye Yuan gave an indifferent look. Clearly, he was not even the slightest bit worried about the Entry Advancement test.


    The Dream Tapir felt that Ye Yuan''s attitude was highly unusual. When the other students entered the dream world, they would often ask questions non-stop and did not know what was going on.


    When Ye Yuan entered, the Dream Tapir noticed that he was not surprised at all. That expression on his face clearly showed that he knew that he was in the dream world.


    Ye Yuan knew about Dream Tapirs, but this did not mean that others knew about Dream Tapirs too. In reality, Dream Tapirs were part of an extremely mysterious tribe, because they did not possess a fixed shape.


    Even when in a dream, it was impossible to discover its existence unless the Dream Tapir let you discover it. That was because it could very well be a little mouse in your dream world or maybe even a stalk of grass.


    The Dream Tapir naturally would not tell the students its identity. It would only inform them that it was the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s guide for the test.


    But this Ye Yuan was not curious about anything at all . . .


    The Dream Tapir waved his hand, and a completely ordinary-looking sword appeared out of thin air in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    "Isn''t this too shabby?" Ye Yuan forced a smile.


    The Dream Tapir said emotionlessly, "In order to ensure the fairness of the test, the academy requested for us to treat each student equally. No matter what weapon you choose, I will only provide you with the most ordinary one."


    Ye Yuan drew his sword, and a sword light flashed. He said helplessly, "Alright then, I will make do with this."


    This was the first time the Dream Tapir met somebody who did not care at all. However, it did not think too much about it. A mere Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm rookie was not worth too much of its attention.


    To the Dream Tapir, whom he was focused on were the few students taking the Earth Rank Advancement test.


    "Now, tell me your name and birthplace. I will record down your test results." The Dream Tapir remained emotionless.


    "The capital, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, Ye Yuan," Ye Yuan reported his name and birthplace.


    The Dream Tapir nodded and said, "The test will start now. They are your opponents."


    The Dream Tapir made a gesture, and five black-clothed martial artists appeared out of nowhere. Impressively, they were also at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Following this, the middle-aged brawny-looking man which the Dream Tapir transformed into had vanished. It was clear that it left Ye Yuan to fend for himself.


    The Entry Advancement test was not worth paying too much attention to it.


    Ye Yuan swept his glance at the five black-clothed Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists and could not help but smirked. These five black-clothed Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists were the most ordinary kind of Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    When the Dan Wu Academy recruited students, the minimum requirement was for them to break through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm before 16 and to be able to defeat five of the most ordinary type of Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm working together.


    To the average person, this was an incredibly difficult challenge. In the dream world, weapons, equipment, and medicinal pills could not be brought inside. One could only rely on the abilities they possessed to defeat the opponents.


    It was virtually impossible to successfully defeat five opponents who were the same cultivation realm as you unless you were a genius.


    However . . . this was a piece of cake for Ye Yuan.


    After the Dream Tapir vanished, the five black-clothed martial artists moved at the same time, attacking Ye Yuan from five different angles.


    Ye Yuan stood straight up and put his sword away before lightly striking out his palm.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave!


    The ripple of essence energy spread out, and the five black-clothed martial artists flew backward. . .


    It was evident that the five black-clothed martial artists no longer had any combat power left as they vanished the instant they hit the ground. The next moment, the middle-aged brawny-looking man appeared once again, and he showed a stunned expression.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Dream Tapir, and gave a faint smile and said, "My apologies. I forgot to tell you that I''m here to take the Yellow Rank Advancement test."

 Chapter 42: Another Instant Kill!

    Chapter 42: Another Instant Kill!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Every time the advancement test took place, it would always attract a large number of students to watch. That was because the results of the test might affect their position within the ranking.


    A light screen displayed everyone''s test progress outside the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    "Eh? Did someone pass the test so quickly? It''s Ye Yuan!" seeing a change in the light screen happened so quickly, someone exclaimed in surprise.


    "It''s that Ye Yuan who killed Fei Qingping during the deathmatch? That fellow is sick!"


    "But this doesn''t mean much either. This should be his first time taking the advancement test, so right now, it should be the Entry Advancement test."


    "But that is monstrous enough! Calculating the time, he should have just started the test. Even though it''s only the Entry Advancement test, he has to face five Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters. Ye Yuan is just at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Could it be that he instantly killed five people at the same level?"


    "Uh. That''s really a possibility! Just how great is that fellow''s combat prowess? Back then, when I participated in the Entry Advancement test, I spent the time it took for an entire incense to burn before I managed to finish them off! I''m afraid that even Fei Qingping who broke through also can''t instantly kill five Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, right?"


    "Hehe. Looks like I was right for coming today. This Ye Yuan really soared to the skies in one move. I''m really looking forward to just how far he can go during this test!"


    No matter what, Ye Yuan instantly killing five martial artists of the same level caused the students to burst into an uproar.


    All of these students had gone through the Entry Advancement test. But not one of them dared to say that they could instantly kill five opponents at the same level when they were at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Ye Yuan could kill Fei Qingping who was two minor realms higher than him when he was at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Now that he was already at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, just how strong is Ye Yuan''s combat strength after advancing a minor stage? 1


    Everyone was curious.


    Most of them came to see who could advance to Heaven Rank, but now, their attention turned to Ye Yuan.


    Huyan Yong watched the light screen silently. He, unlike the rest of the surrounding students, was most concerned with Ye Yuan''s test.


    When Ye Yuan passed the Entry Advancement test just now, the shock he felt was no less than the other students.


    When he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, he could easily defeat five martial artists of the same level. But to talk about instantly killing them . . . that was something impossible for him.


    This Ye Yuan was truly full of surprises.


    "Look! Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui came as well. Most likely they came to scout out information to see just where the limits of Ye Yuan''s strength laid."


    "Hehe. I wonder what were they thinking when they saw Ye Yuan passing the Entry Advancement test instantly."


    Presently, someone noticed that there were two more people in the crowd. They were precisely Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui.


    Wan Yuan and Ye Yuan''s conflict was no longer a secret in the academy. Now that he showed up here, it was obviously because of Ye Yuan.


    As Wan Yuan looked at Ye Yuan''s progress on the light screen, his face sunk.


    He happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan advancing just as he entered the Illusionary Spirit Tower. Even though it was only the Entry Advancement test, wasn''t this speed too fast?


    Wan Yuan still was not aware that Ye Yuan was already at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. If he knew, who knows what he would think . . .


    . . . . . .


    Within the Illusionary Spirit Tower, the Dream Tapir was stunned as he looked at Ye Yuan.


    He 2had tested countless student over the years. Each of them possessed the power that outclassed those at the same level. Some exceptional students could easily defeat these five martial artists. However, this was his first time encountering someone like Ye Yuan who could instantly kill five opponents at the same level.


    One would have to cross another minor stage, possessing the strength of a Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, before they could instantly kill five Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists.


    It was not difficult to jump ranks to do battle for genius students. However, it was extremely challenging to cross over an entire minor stage.


    When Ye Yuan was at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, he could not handle Fei Qingping even when he mastered the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, First Layer Wave. One could see just how difficult it was to jump ranks to battle.


    Yet now, Ye Yuan could use his strength as a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to instantly kill five opponents at the same rank. Just how powerful did he have to be to do that!


    "My apologies. I forgot to tell you that I''m here to take the Yellow Rank Advancement test," Ye Yuan said and smiled lightly.


    The Dream Tapir was a little unpleased with Ye Yuan''s attitude. He frowned slightly and said, "Alright. The Yellow Rank Advancement test will begin now. This is your opponent."


    The Dream Tapir waved, and another five black-clothed martial artists appeared. The five black-clothed martial artists that appeared this time were shockingly all at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    "Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm eh? The difficulty didn''t seem to have increased much," Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, the difficulty of the Yellow Rank Advancement test did not increase too much from the Entry Advancement test. Even though Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was strong, without crossing a minor stage, it was not exactly insurmountable for students.


    As students'' cultivation realm rose with the accumulation of time, it would not be difficult to deal with five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters.


    The truly difficult ones were the Black Rank Advancement test and the Earth Rank Advancement test!


    The opponents faced in the Black Rank Advancement test would rise to another level; five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists. And the opponents in the Earth Rank Advancement test were five First Level Spirit Condensation Realm fighters!


    Under normal circumstances, students would have to increase their cultivation realm in order to pass the test. Otherwise, it would be far too challenging.


    One cultivation realm, one layer of heaven. Apart from geniuses like Long Tang, the average person would not be able to jump ranks to battle five martial artists of a higher realm.


    One would first have to reach Spirit Condensation Realm in order to pass through the Earth Rank Advancement test to become a Heaven Rank student.


    Therefore, for Wan Yuan to break through and become an Earth rank student with his Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation, this result was hard to come by. Naturally, the academy would heavily groom him.


    Five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm opponents; they were much stronger than Fei Qingping.


    However, back when Ye Yuan was at the Third Level Essence Qi Realm, he could already easily kill Fei Qingping. Now that he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, these five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters were nothing difficult.


    The five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters joined hands and attacked together. Ye Yuan''s sword remained sheathed, as he once again struck out with a palm.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave!


    The five black-clothed martial artists were sent flying once more, and they vanished.


    The Dream Tapir stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the sight.


    This brat . . . is too terrifying.


    Huyan Yong''s pupils contracted as he watched the light curtain.


    Another instant kill? How was this possible?!


    The Yellow Rank Advancement test consisted of five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters! Each one of them was two minor cultivation realms higher than Ye Yuan! How could it be another instant kill?!


    Although Huyan Yong knew that Ye Yuan was almost certain to advance to the Black rank when he saw that Ye Yuan was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, he did not expect Ye Yuan to advance with such ease!


    Five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists . . . Each one of them was stronger than Fei Qingping. Even if Ye Yuan was strong, it was impossible for him to be so ridiculously strong!


    "Look guys! Ye Yuan''s advancement test ended again! This time, it should be the Yellow Rank Advancement test, right? That''s to say, he is already a Black rank student?"


    "T-that fellow is simply too monstrous. A-another instant kill! Just how did that fellow manage to instantly kill five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm opponents? Even when Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang took the Yellow Rank Advancement test, it wasn''t as exaggerated as this."


    "I''m already drunk. That fellow isn''t human at all. He already surpassed my imaginations . . ."


    Wan Yuan gritted his teeth as he looked at the light screen. At this moment, he was feeling an immense threat.


    Ye Yuan''s improvement speed was too fast. At this rate, would he no longer be Ye Yuan''s opponent when the time comes for the Endless Trials?


    No! Ye Yuan must die!

 Chapter 43: Dream Tapir’s Extra Ingredient

    Chapter 43: Dream Tapir��s Extra Ingredient


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan''s advancement speed made Wan Yuan felt a deep sense of crisis.


    To be able to instantly kill five Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm opponents, Ye Yuan might already have the strength to enter the Earth ranking!


    Even if he did not succeed, he probably would not be far off.


    Strength like that already approached Wan Yuan''s.


    His movement technique was already inferior to Ye Yuan, and now, his combat prowess was not any better. What capital did he still have to challenge Ye Yuan?


    During the Endless Trials, I must definitely let Senior Apprentice Brother Su finish off Ye Yuan. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!Wan Yuan made his decision.


    "I say, do you think Ye Yuan will enter the Earth ranking?" After the shock, somebody suddenly thought of that possibility.


    The moment that was said, everyone became silent.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan was very strong, but wasn''t it too much of an exaggeration for a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to face off with five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists?


    It was not uncommon to see a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm jumped ranks to battle with a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. But the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm was an entire four minor cultivation realms higher than the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Furthermore, there was a minor stage in between them.


    That minor stage was not easy to cross!


    However, Ye Yuan challenged the Yellow Rank Advancement test and passed too easily. It was so quick that it was basically effortless, making them feel a trace of possibility.


    "Quickly look! Ye Yuan really went on to challenge the Black Rank Advancement test!"


    This shout broke the silence, as everyone''s gaze once again concentrated on the light screen.


    "This is too crazy! Consecutively challenging three tests during his first time! I''m afraid this made into the Dan Wu Academy''s history!"


    "Do you guys think that Ye Yuan can successfully pass this?" The person who made everyone fall silent earlier, once again made everybody pondered on this.


    . . . . . .


    Facing five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm opponents, Ye Yuan did not take things lightly like before, and he burst forth in an instant.


    Even so, Ye Yuan was still in perilous danger facing the joint attack from these five opponents.


    "F*ck! You actually dare to sneak attack me! These five people actually know how to form a sword array?!" Ye Yuan shouted as he dodged.


    ". . . . . ."


    The Dream Tapir was speechless.


    When the Black Rank Advancement test started, the dream tapir secretly added an ''extra ingredient,'' making the five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists to attack Ye Yuan with a sword array.


    After the five black-clothed martial artists used a sword array, their combined might was no weaker than a powerful Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Ye Yuan himself was an array master. The moment these five moved out, he discovered it.


    It naturally was not difficult for him to break the array with his mastery in array formations. But the combined power of these five people was too great. This sort of crushing advantage left Ye Yuan unable to do anything else, let alone break the array.


    The enormous difference in power was not something that insights could compensate for. Even if these five people''s sword array were full of holes in Ye Yuan''s eyes, he could not make a counterattack.


    Everything was a blur in front of Ye Yuan''s eyes, as sword shadows permeated the surroundings.


    Luckily, Instant Flash was a small radius movement technique; it was perfect for this sort of group battle. Otherwise, even if Ye Yuan had ten lives, he would have long died.


    Even so, Ye Yuan would still be grazed by sword qi every now and then, leaving him covered with wounds.


    Although he was in a dream world, the sensation of pain was unbelievably realistic. The Dream Tapir Tribe''s Nightmare Skill was truly powerful.


    Before long, Ye Yuan''s clothes were already tattered.


    As the Dream Tapir looked at Ye Yuan who was trying to cope with the situation, he had a hint of a smile on his face. It was as if satisfied with his revenge.


    Although Dream Tapirs were born in dream worlds, they also had emotions such as pleasure, anger, sorrow, and joy.


    He did not know why, but from the start when Ye Yuan was unperturbed by everything, it left him very displeased.


    All these while, he had always been mysterious and haughty. But today, in front of Ye Yuan, he felt like he was stripped naked without any secrets left.


    Who among the students participating in the test was not full of respect towards him? It only had to be Ye Yuan with his indifferent attitude. He even postured with instant kills twice, making him feel that he had no face left.


    Hence, when the Black Rank Advancement test was starting, he secretly added a sword array for those five black-clothed martial artists, increasing their power.


    "Brat, this is the result of slighting this seat. 1Thinking about passing the Black Rank Advancement test? Go back and train first!" The Dream Tapir was secretly pleased.


    He had been watching the battle, and he knew that Ye Yuan''s defensive radius was shrinking. His injuries were also increasing, so he would be defeated sooner or later.


    However, the Dream Tapir was shocked in his heart at how tenacious Ye Yuan was. To be able to fight with five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm opponents until now with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm strength. It was simply unthinkable.


    The Dream Tapir had seen countless geniuses before, but he had never seen a genius who was able to perform to such an extent.


    But . . . it should end here.


    . . . . . .


    Lin Tiancheng was sent out in dismal. He had failed once again. This was already the fifth time he failed to impact through the Heaven ranking!


    Thinking about the musing looks and those eyes filled with mockery outside, Lin Tiancheng became frustrated.


    Lin Tiancheng was already at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. Facing five First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists was truly a little too forced.


    It was not that Lin Tiancheng wasn''t talented enough and was unable to take that final step. But it was because he had been suppressing his cultivation realm at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm.


    In the Dan Wu Academy, the lower one''s cultivation realm was when passing the test and the smaller the age, showed that one''s potential was greater. The importance attached to you would naturally be different as well.


    If he broke through to the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it would obviously be a cinch for him to defeat the five martial artists. But that way, it would be acknowledging that his talent could only go so far.


    Hence, he had always been tolerating other people''s contemptuous look, wishing to pass the Earth Rank Advancement test with half-step Spirit Condensation Realm strength.


    The top figures on the Martial Roll of Honor such as Long Tang, Zuo Bugui, and Su Yishan, without exception, all of them passed the Earth Rank Advancement test when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    That was to say, these top geniuses already had a battle power surpassing the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    But he, Lin Tiancheng, was already at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, yet he still could not pass the Earth Rank Advancement test. The difference was clear at a glance.


    Lin Tiancheng walked out of the Illusionary Spirit Tower looking incomparably dispirited.


    He already made the decision that as long as there was the slightest bit of scorn in anyone''s eyes, he would rush over and violently beat him up.


    The moment he stepped out of the Illusionary Spirit Tower, Lin Tiancheng swept his fierce gaze over and suddenly became stunned.


    There was actually no one looking at him. Everyone''s eyes were fixated on the light screen, with some people watching nervously.


    '' What happened? ''


    Lin Tiancheng also followed everyone''s gaze and looked over at the light screen as well, but he failed to see anything. The light curtain did not have fighting scenes within the Illusionary Spirit Tower. It could only roughly display the conditions of everybody inside.


    "What are you all looking at?" Lin Tiancheng casually grabbed someone and asked.


    "Ah? It''s Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Are you already out? We are looking at Ye Yuan. He is taking the Black Rank Advancement Test right now, but it looks like he can''t hold on any longer." The student did not seem to have too big a reaction to Lin Tiancheng being out.


    "What? Black Rank Advancement test? Isn''t that fellow overestimating himself? With his strength, even passing the Yellow Rank Advancement test would be a little forceful. He actually went to take on the Black Rank Advancement test?" Lin Tiancheng was stunned initially, followed by a mocking smile.


    That student gave Lin Tiancheng a look, and the expression in his eyes made Lin Tiancheng feel extremely uneasy. Before he reacted, that student opened his mouth again and said, "I''m afraid Senior Apprentice Brother Lin doesn''t know yet, right? Ye Yuan already long passed the Yellow Rank Advancement test! During his Entry Advancement test and Yellow Rank Advancement test, he instantly killed his opponents! Even right now, during his Black Rank Advancement test, he already held on for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"


    "In-instant kill?"


    Lin Tiancheng suspected that he heard wrongly. However, that student no longer bothered with him and turned his head back to the light screen.

 Chapter 44: Black Rank Advancement Test, Passed!

    Chapter 44: Black Rank Advancement Test, Passed!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Sigh. It looks like there''s no hope for Ye Yuan to create a miracle. But it''s already very impressive to go this far. He is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. A once in fifty years genius appeared in our State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy once again."


    As the light representing Ye Yuan on the light screen became increasingly faint, Huyan Yong could not help but feel sorry.


    However, immediately afterward, he found himself funny. The power that Ye Yuan displayed was already shocking enough. To let him challenge the Black Rank Advancement test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm was truly a little too forced.


    After passing the test this time around, Huyan Yong believed that as long as Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, no, just the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm was enough to pass the Black Rank Advancement test!


    "Aiya. It''s over, it''s over. Ye Yuan can''t hold on anymore!"


    "Sigh. He doesn''t have a chance anymore. Right now, he probably already suffered heavy injuries, right? It was already good enough that he could last until now."


    "Miracles really aren''t so easy to create! However, Ye Yuan is already very impressive. Back then, Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang only passed the Black Rank Advancement test when he was just about to break through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm. Ye Yuan is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm presently!"


    "Damn his sister! Your father spent half the day watching, but he still ended up losing."


    As the glow symbolizing Ye Yuan slowly became fainter, the surrounding students started talking about it. Quite a few people felt pity for Ye Yuan''s failure.


    Wan Yuan watched the light screen as a trace of a sneer flashed across his mouth. Right here, the one who hoped Ye Yuan would fail the advancement test most of all was him.


    "Overestimating himself! To actually dare challenge the Black Rank Advancement test when you just broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Do you think that these tests were just ornamental?"


    After watching for so long, Wan Yuan was already aware that Ye Yuan broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. A deep sense of crisis followed the shock.


    Now that he saw Ye Yuan was about to fail, that constriction in Wan Yuan''s chest eased up a little.


    . . . . . .


    At the Illusionary Spirit Tower, the Dream Tapir felt that something was not quite right as he looked at the group battle over there.


    Right! Ye Yuan''s defensive radius seemed to have not shrunk for a while now!


    What was going on?


    Ye Yuan was clearly covered in injuries, but why did not his last line of defensive collapse, and how was he still holding on?


    En? He used the sword!


    The Dream Tapir suddenly discovered something abnormal. Ever since the Entry Advancement test begun, Ye Yuan had never used that lousy sword!


    But now, Ye Yuan actually used the sword!


    The Dream Tapir recalled back to the beginning where Ye Yuan chose his weapon leisurely like it did not matter. He thought the sword was just an accessory, and that his true killing move was the Stacking Waves Layered Palm!


    The Dream Tapir naturally knew about the Stacking Waves Layered Palm. Ye Yuan was already very heaven-defying to be able to comprehend the Second Layer Wave.


    It was precisely because Ye Yuan had comprehended the Second Layer Wave that he could easily pass through the Yellow Rank Advancement Test.


    Hence, the Dream Tapir thought that the Stacking Waves Layered Palm was Ye Yuan''s greatest trump card. He never expected Ye Yuan''s sword art to be so superb.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was still on the defensive; like a tiny sailboat in a storm. But he still stubbornly held on, and his boat just would not overturn!


    The dream tapir even realized that ever since Ye Yuan used the sword, he had not been struck once by the black-clothed martial artists.


    The initially flawless sword array was currently showing signs of instability.


    Ye Yuan seemed to be able to see through the weakness of the sword array. Although he was forced to be on the defensive, each stance and each strike started to make the entire sword array unstable.


    Could it be that this Ye Yuan was also an array expert?


    The Dream Tapir felt that his brain was a little incompetent to process this notion.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not randomly choose his weapon. He was indeed a sword expert in his past life.


    Of course, this so-called expert was only when comparing to the Lower Realms. In the Divine Realm, there were plenty of people who could mutilate him as they liked.


    The sword art that Ye Yuan currently using was something that he created during his leisure time while in the Divine Realm. The name of the sword art was Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword.


    There was one time when he was talking and drinking with a few friends in a sacred sakura forest. As the skies filled with the falling petals of the sacred sakura flowers, it formed a falling flower rain.


    As Ye Yuan watched the flowery scenery, he gained enlightenment and created this sword art, naming it as Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword.


    Back then, there was an Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, among his friends. He was a Divine King who used a sword to affirm his Dao; this person had extraordinary accomplishments in the Sword Dao.


    After Ye Yuan finished performing the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword, the Extreme Sword Divine King praised it highly.


    At that time, Kuang Tianming said, "Brother Qingyun is amazingly talented. Tianming is inferior to you! If this sword art were to be perfected, it would definitely dazzle the Divine Realm in the future. If Brother Qingyun would devote yourself to the Sword Dao, your future accomplishments won''t be inferior to your Alchemy Dao!"


    Unfortunately, the Qingyun Zi back then had no interest in the Martial Dao. Creating the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was just because of a moment of interest. After creating it, he threw it aside and never used it again.


    Kuang Tianming did not praise the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword because the sword art was really that powerful.


    At that time, Qingyun Zi''s cultivation realm was high, but his development in the Martial Dao was very limited. Kuang Tianming meant that if Ye Yuan devoted his thoughts on the Martial Dao and continuously raised his comprehension of the Sword Dao, the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword would become a terrifying sword art.


    The sword art was strong, but Ye Yuan current cultivation realm was too low. Without the support of essence energy, he could not even unleash half of the power.


    However, the focus of the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was elegance and agility, which happened to pair very well with Ye Yuan''s modified Instant Flash. The power multiplied several times over after combining the two.


    Using the Instant Flash together with the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was just enough to defend against the combined attacks of these five people.


    These five people''s sword array appeared to be extremely powerful, but in reality, it was full of flaws in Ye Yuan''s eyes. What he needed right now was an opportunity!


    And this opportunity finally appeared under the attack of his movement technique and sword art.


    These five people did not have corporal forms, so their cooperation was flawless. However, this sword array was too simple. It was a weakness that could not be changed!


    Under the sword array, these five people would have a combined attack every dozen moves or so, and the combined attack this time was incredibly powerful. Previously, even though Ye Yuan used his movement technique to avoid the combined attack by the skin of his teeth, he still suffered rather heavy injuries.


    But this time around, because of Ye Yuan''s assault, one black-clothed martial artist''s movement slowed by a beat.


    Ye Yuan would not let such a good chance slip by. Before the five people''s combined attack arrived, he pushed Instant Flash to the extreme and directly flashed out of the sword array!


    These five black-clothed martial artists did not know exhaustion at all. Ye Yuan had just left the encirclement when they retracted their sword momentum, and once again formed the sword array wanting to attack.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not give them the chance to enclose him again. At the same time he exited the encirclement, he gathered all the remaining essence energy left in his body and unleashed a palm strike before the five people attacked.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Fourth Layer Wave!


    Eight times the power exploded out, bringing a palm wind like a fierce gale; sending the five black-clothed martial artists flying.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was not over yet, and he gathered the tiny bit of essence energy he had left. With Instant Flash, he moved in front of a black-clothed martial artist and stabbed his heart with one sword strike. That black-clothed martial artist died and vanished after that.


    The power of that one palm was indeed great, but the difference in cultivation realm between Ye Yuan and the black-clothed martial artists was too great. So he could only heavily injure them.


    Repeating what he did, Ye Yuan gave the other four people one sword strike each, concluding the battle.


    After making the final move, Ye Yuan threw the sword aside and dropped his knees on the ground, gasping for air.


    The Dream Tapir stood there dumbstruck as he watched on, and he did not dare to believe what just happened in front of his eyes.


    "Hey, after passing this round, are you not going to heal my injuries? At this rate, I will die from excessive blood loss. You can''t expect me to challenge the next round like this, right?" Ye Yuan caught his breath and shouted at the dream tapir.

 Chapter 45: Scared Me Shitless

    Chapter 45: Scared Me Shitless


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "N-next round?"


    The dream tapir was at a complete loss. Ye Yuan actually wanted to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?


    Oh please, did he make a mistake?


    The Black Rank Advancement test was already so forced, yet he still wanted to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?


    Could it be that this brat was a fool and didn''t know the difference between the Spirit Condensation Realm and the Essence Qi Realm?


    This was a major realm!


    Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth in pain and sucked in a cold breath, crying out, "F*CK! Quickly heal me! What are you stoning there for?! If you still don''t heal me, I''m going to suicide and complain to the dean about you!"


    Black lines appeared on the Dream Tapir''s head. This brat was a masterpiece.


    He really did not know if Ye Yuan was a genius or a fool. Why were his words always full of foolishness?


    The Dream Tapir was even more senior than the dean. Would the dean dare to bother with him?


    He was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh because of Ye Yuan. But he still helped to treat his injuries.


    The dream tapir lightly tapped, and Ye Yuan was instantly full of vitality.


    Feeling the surging essence energy in his body, Ye Yuan gave a sly smile and said, "Hehe. The dream world is the best. No matter how heavy the injuries, I can also revive."


    At this moment, the dream tapir already recollected himself and looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that wasn''t a smile. He asked, "How did you know this is the dream world? I don''t recall saying that we are in the dream world. Also, do you know what I am?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and played possum. "Oh please. You are insulting my intelligence! If this isn''t a dream, then why would I suddenly have a sword out of nowhere? If this isn''t a dream, then why did those martial artists disappear after dying? As for you, aren''t you the examiner? You are still insulting my intelligence! And also, why did you use an underhanded trick just now?! I want to report you!"


    The dream tapir knew that Ye Yuan was not being truthful, but he could not be bothered to argue.


    No matter what, it was a good thing for the Dan Wu Academy to have one more genius student.


    "You really want to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test?"


    "Do you think I''m joking with you?" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and asked back.


    "Good. You have courage. You also felt it just now, the pain that you feel is linked to reality. Although you dying in here doesn''t mean true death, it wouldn''t be pleasant."


    "I say, Lord Examiner, can you stop wasting my time? I''m very busy!" Ye Yuan replied impatiently.


    "Fine. As you wish!"


    The Dream Tapir gave a faint smile and summoned five black-clothed martial artists once more. Except for this time around, these five black-clothed martial artists were shockingly all at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    . . . . . .


    Outside the Illusionary Spirit Tower, the crowd was currently seething with excitement.


    "How is that possible? Ye Yuan, he really did it!"


    "Am I seeing things? Just now, he was clearly on his dying breath. How did he suddenly finish off his opponents?"


    "Ye Yuan really created a miracle! He should be the Earth Rank student with the lowest cultivation realm since the establishment of the Dan Wu Academy!"


    "And also the one with the greatest talent!"


    "Just what on earth happened to that fellow? Could it be that he pretended to be so useless in the past? Unbelievable!"


    Many students felt honored to have witnessed a historical moment.


    But no matter how they racked their brains, they just could not understand how Ye Yuan improved so quickly. Previously, he was clearly the last place in the academy. But now, he soared to the skies in one move, rising to become an Earth Rank student.


    The miracle that happened on Ye Yuan''s body was simply a paragon counterattack!


    A change like this would strike a sympathetic chord among many students.


    If these students were in the outside world, they would naturally be geniuses. But in the Dan Wu Academy, the vast majority of them were just average people.


    Ye Yuan''s result no doubt stirred up their fighting spirit.


    Huyan Yong looked at the light screen and cursed in his heart.This brat dares to mess with me?! He actually waited until the last moment before advancing successfully! It looks like he didn''t even use 30% of his power during his deathmatch with Fei Qingping!


    Although he scolded, Huyan Yong was actually thrilled in his heart.


    With Ye Yuan''s potential, perhaps he would have the strength to pass through the Heaven Rank Advancement test in the future?


    The two people who were the unhappiest were naturally Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui. The two of them had just passed the Black Rank Advancement test. That is to say that currently, Ye Yuan already had the strength to threaten them?


    Impossible! Half a month ago, Ye Yuan was still a First Level Essence Qi Realm dreg. And now, half a month later, he could already threaten me?


    Then what were all my years of hard work for?!


    Ye Yuan that punk must have used some trick! His true strength shouldn''t be that strong!


    That must be the case!


    No matter what, I must quickly eliminate Ye Yuan.


    Wan Yuan did not want to wait for even a second longer. He wished he could immediately call Su Yishan to kill Ye Yuan.


    Thinking of which, he had already made the decision to kill Ye Yuan several times today. And this thought got stronger each time.


    When Wan Yuan had just arrived, he paid not much attention to him. But now, he could sense deeply that Ye Yuan was already standing on the same level as him!


    Recalling Ye Yuan''s moves, the great circle stage Instant Flash coupled with the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Second Layer Wave''s colossal attack power; could he really escape unscathed?


    Wan Yuan felt a cold shiver ran through his body.


    To be able to defeat five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm showed that Ye Yuan''s attack power could already threaten him!


    Was there anything even scarier than that?


    "Quickly look! Ye Yuan challenged the Earth Rank Advancement test! My God! Is he mad?"


    "It''s true! That fellow is really a madman! No matter how heaven-defying he is, there''s no way he could defeat five First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists! He is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "I''m already numbed by him. Let him play however he wants . . ."


    Wan Yuan looked at the light screen as his heart involuntarily froze.


    That fellow, could it be . . .


    . . . . . .


    The moment the five black-clothed martial artists appeared once more, Ye Yuan felt an overwhelming pressure hitting him head-on, making him feel short of breath.


    In this sort of test, these five people would not have any sort of compassion. The moment they attacked, it was with piercing cold killing intent.


    Even while facing opponents a major cultivation realm higher than him, moreover, five of them, Ye Yuan remained in full fighting spirit.


    "Bring it on!"


    Ye Yuan howled, his dangling pair of fists turning into palms.


    All the essence energy in his body surged, creating a whirlwind which made Ye Yuan''s sleeves flapped wildly.


    The Dream Tapir looked at this scene and involuntarily drew a cold breath. He muttered to himself, "This brat actually mastered the Eighth Layer Wave! Such terrifying talent!"


    Ye Yuan''s hand posture right now was precisely the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layer Wave!


    During the deathmatch with Fei Qingping, everybody thought that Ye Yuan was bitterly training the Second Layer Wave, which was why he was late. In reality, he was practicing the Eighth Layer Wave back then!


    And this Eighth Layer Wave was also the final move of the Stacking Waves Layered Palm. The fragmented martial technique recorded on the jade slip stopped there.


    Even if it was only the Eighth Layer Wave, sixteen times the unleashed power was sufficient for Ye Yuan to traverse proudly through the Essence Qi Realm.


    Sixteen times the unleashed power was on par with the great circle stage Absolute Yang Finger. And Ye Yuan''s Absolute Yang Finger was only trained to the small success stage.


    Which was to say, this Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layer Wave was currently Ye Yuan''s greatest trump card!


    Unlike being surrounded and assaulted by the previous five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists, these current five First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists did not seem to be in a rush to attack. Instead, they were waiting for Ye Yuan to make his move.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was the Dream Tapir''s doing. In an actual life and death battle, who would give him such a long time to use a big move?


    After he finished preparing his stance, the five black-clothed martial artists finally moved.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s unleashed his palm strike.


    Smash!


    Both parties collided heavily against each other, and Ye Yuan''s consciousness gradually blurred . . .


    "Damn his sister, it scared me shitless. I thought he would even make it through the Earth Rank Advancement test. He was finally killed!"


    Outside the Illusionary Spirit Tower, God knows who said that sentence which verbalized everyone''s inner thoughts . . .

 Chapter 46: Arranging a Battle

    Chapter 46: Arranging a Battle


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "He finally died!"


    "Was Ye Yuan messing with us? He could clearly leave unscathed, but he just had to exit in such a manner. It gave me such a huge fright!"


    "Yeah. Although it''s in the dream world, the feeling of death isn''t pleasant. Every time I was killed, it made me feel like I was really about to die."


    "It pisses me off. I thought that he really had the strength to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test. Who would have thought that he would be instantly killed right away. Isn''t that messing with us?"


    . . . . . .


    ''Scared me shitless'' was like a bomb that went off among the initially quiet onlookers.


    The innocent Ye Yuan still did not know that his actions incurred the wrath of everybody, drawing everyone''s grievances.


    The main issue was that he previously whetted everybody''s appetite too much, inevitably making everyone think that he had a probability of passing.


    If Ye Yuan lost after a fierce battle, then the students'' reactions at least would not be this huge. But who would have thought that he would be instantly killed the moment he went up, making everyone drop their glasses in shock.


    The difference between expectations and reality was too large. No wonder everyone felt like they were being made fun of.


    Huyan Yong also stared blankly at the light curtain and could not help laughing.


    He and the other students were the same. Ye Yuan stirred up their emotions, making them think that he really had some killing move to pass the Earth Rank Advancement test. Who knew that this fellow was just fearless because of ignorance; sending himself to his death.


    "But . . . to be able to pass the Black Rank Advancement test, becoming the youngest student as well as the student with the lowest cultivation realm to enter the Dan Wu Academy''s Earth Rank . . . Ye Yuan''s strength has already surpassed my imagination." Huyan Yong gave his approval.


    He did not feel that Ye Yuan purposely tricked everyone. On the contrary, he felt that Ye Yuan''s martial heart was steadfast.


    Most people would definitely choose to retreat when facing an opponent who was a major realm higher. But Ye Yuan decided to fight. His choice already highlighted a lot of problems.


    Of course, if he knew what Ye Yuan did inside the Illusionary Spirit Tower, who knew what he would think?


    Within the Illusionary Spirit Tower, Ye Yuan had already returned to reality. There were only the Dream Tapir and the other four black-clothed martial artists left in the combat arena.


    The astonishment in the Dream Tapir''s eyes had yet to fade . . .


    Just now, when Ye Yuan chose to fight the five black-clothed martial artists head-on, Ye Yuan naturally died from the other party''s powerful attack.


    But at the last moment, Ye Yuan''s Eighth layer Wave struck one of the black-clothed martial artists, killing him!


    Even though Ye Yuan would not really die inside the dream world, and there was suspicion of trickery involved, he really finished off a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm fighter!


    That means that Ye Yuan already had the strength to threaten a Spirit Condensation Realm!


    A Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm with the strength to threaten a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Was this a fantasy story?


    The Dream Tapir swallowed hard as he thought about how unreal this world was.


    . . . . . .


    "Oh? I should have finished off one of them just now, right?"


    Ye Yuan was lost in his thoughts as he walked out of the Illusionary Spirit Tower and did not notice everyone''s peculiar expressions. He was still thinking about just now when he faced off with the five black-clothed martial artists.


    Lu-er was the first to rush up to Ye Yuan. She completed the Entry Advancement test long ago and already officially became a student of the Dan Wu Academy.


    Passing the Entry Advancement test as a Third Level Essence Qi Realm, Lu-er''s strength naturally had no room for doubt. Huyan Yong also noticed this inconspicuous little girl.


    Of course, Lu-er could pass the test because Ye Yuan passed her a rather powerful martial technique called the Profound Ice Nine Forms. This set of martial technique was precisely the martial technique that the Spirit Snow Divine King became famous for. It was incredibly powerful when paired with Lu-er''s cultivation law.


    What Lu-er cultivated in were all top cultivation laws and martial techniques in the Divine Realm. Hence, it naturally was not much to jump ranks to defeat five Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters.


    "Young Master, you are amazing! You actually passed through three levels of tests at once!" Lu-er pulled Ye Yuan''s sleeve as she exclaimed with pride.


    Watching Ye Yuan pass the test made Lu-er feel even happier than passing it herself.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu-er, and with a smile, he said, "It''s just the Black Rank Advancement test. It wasn''t even hard at all. If that damn examiner didn''t use underhanded tricks to mess with me, I would have passed it long ago."


    The surrounding students were stunned once again. This fellow''s ability to brag was even greater than his strength.


    Just now, he was clearly being thoroughly wrecked. But now, he is out here bragging.


    The Illusionary Spirit Tower''s examiner tested countless students and was always fair and just. How could he possibly use underhanded methods to mess with a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm student?


    "Hehe. Anyway, Young Master is the most amazing! It''s a shame that Big Brother Tang is in a closed-door seclusion. Otherwise, he would also be happy for Young Master."


    After this period of accumulation, Tang Yu''s cultivation realm had already stabilized. He just happened to enter a closed-door seclusion training two days ago to break through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Ye Yuan gave Tang Yu a batch of transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills. Breaking through the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was just a matter of time.


    "Hahaha. After Tang Yu exits seclusion, he should come to participate in the Yellow Rank Advancement test. Looking at you, you should have also passed the test," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Lu-er smiled as she nodded her head and replied, "Isn''t it all thanks to Young Master?"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "What does that has got to do with me? You were the one who cultivated out your essence energy."


    The master and servant stood side by side as they talked, making the onlookers envious.


    Initially, everyone''s attention was attracted by the light screen and did not notice that there was such a pretty young lady in the crowd.


    Now that she and Ye Yuan stood together, it immediately attracted many eyes.


    The crowd just noticed, since when was there was such a pretty young lady among the students?


    In terms of appearance, the yet-to-mature Lu-er was already much prettier than Liu Ruoshui. However, that pure and innocent air that Lu-er had was something which Liu Ruoshui was not equipped with.


    Seeing everyone''s expression, Ye Yuan knew that Lu-er would most likely become the target of pursue by many students in the academy.


    At this moment, a student walked in front of Ye Yuan. Those who saw him immediately recognized who he was.


    "Quickly look! Isn''t that Senior Apprentice Brother Wu? He is famous in the academy for being infatuated with martial arts; he is a top figure ranked 15 on the Martial Roll of Honor! Could it be that he is already eyeing Ye Yuan? Then Ye Yuan is screwed!"


    Wu Luochen cupped his hands towards Ye Yuan and said, "Congratulations to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye for advancing as an Earth Rank. I am Wu Luochen, Heaven Rank."


    Ye Yuan was not clear with what was going on, but he still returned a greeting. He then replied, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Wu."


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s talent stands above all others. I believe that before long, you will advance as a Heaven Rank. At that time, I wish to arrange with Junior Apprentice Brother Ye for us to spar. I hope that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye won''t decline."


    Even though it was expected, Wu Luochen''s words still caused a big stir among the crowd.


    Wu Luochen was infatuated with martial arts and liked to go around the academy to challenge experts. The people on the Martial Roll of Honor all felt a headache whenever they saw him.


    Because he pursued martial arts wholeheartedly, Wu Luochen''s improvement was also very fast. In half a year''s time, he fought his way from the bottom of the Heaven ranking to being ranked 15 on the Martial Roll of Honor.


    Ye Yuan sized Wu Luochen up. He then suddenly smiled and said, "Since Senior Apprentice Brother Wu think highly of me. Why wouldn''t I dare fight?"


    Wu Luochen was initially somewhat solemn looking, but now, he cracked a smile and replied, "Good! You are indeed the student with the greatest potential in the academy! If you encounter any problems in the academy from today onwards, you can look for me anytime!"


    "Haha. Then many thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Wu," Ye Yuan laughed as he replied.

 Chapter 47: Incurring Everyones Wrath

    Chapter 47: Incurring Everyone''s Wrath


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    After Wu Luochen left, many people went up to congratulate Ye Yuan.


    After this test, Ye Yuan''s name as a genius had already been established. His position in the academy would undoubtedly rise.


    Taking the opportunity to be on friendly terms with a future Martial Roll of Honor expert was a must.


    At the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, he could already finish off five Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm fighters. This kind of power . . . Once Ye Yuan broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, just how horrifying would his strength become?


    Who knows, maybe when he''s at the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, he would indeed have the strength to challenge the Earth Rank Advancement test!


    However, those who came up to say hello to Ye Yuan were mostly Heaven Rank students. Those Earth Rank students were destined to never mingle with a genius like Ye Yuan.


    One would not hit a smiling face. Ye Yuan dealt with these Heaven Rank students'' goodwill gestures one by one.


    There was no lack of experts from the Martial Roll of Honor among these people. So naturally, there wasn''t any downside to becoming acquainted with them.


    Watching Ye Yuan benefitting from everyone around, Lin Tiancheng felt as uncomfortable as if having eaten a fly.


    What was funny was that he called Ye Yuan a trash earlier on. But after this test, the situation suddenly changed. Ye Yuan actually became popular among the bunch of Heaven Rank students; he was a genius in the eyes of all students.


    But he, Lin Tiancheng, remained as the mediocre person struggling to advance becoming a Heaven Rank.


    In comparison to Ye Yuan''s results, he was the trash.


    Passing the Black Rank Advancement test when he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, if Ye Yuan could not make it into Heaven rank, everyone would laugh their heads off.


    Thinking up to this point, Lin Tiancheng sighed and vanished from the crowd.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, what''s wrong? Why do you seem a little absent-minded?" Just as Lin Tiancheng was about to leave, a melodious and alluring voice sounded behind him.


    Turning his head, it was Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui who pushed their way out of the crowd long ago.


    . . . . . .


    "Quickly look! Isn''t that Teacher Feng Ruoqing? What''s she doing here?" someone suddenly cried out among the crowd.


    "It''s really Teacher Feng! She''s walking towards me. Could it be that she is looking for me? Aiyo. What did you hit me for?" Someone was daydreaming when he immediately got hit on the back of his head and was pulled aside by someone.


    "Moron. How could Teacher Feng be looking for you? A good dog wouldn''t block the path. Quickly move aside."


    "Why isn''t it possible for her to look for me? Maybe she knows that I''m her loyal fan, and was touched by that, so she came to look for me?"


    ". . . . . ."


    Everyone looked at him like he was a retard, and then they automatically made a path for Feng Ruoqing to pass through.


    Feng Ruoqing walked pass the crowd and did not even spare a glance for that moron.


    "Damn! Lu-er, quick, run!" Ye Yuan grabbed Lu-er and started running.


    Ye Yuan was still engaging with people just now. Now that he noticed Feng Ruoqing, he immediately chose to flee in any way he could.


    "Ye Yuan, if you dare to run again, you can forget about passing any of your classes!" Feng Ruoqing saw that Ye Yuan was running and immediately shouted.


    Ye Yuan was completely indifferent to this sort of threat, as he continued running.


    "Stop him for me!" Feng Ruoqing cried out frantically.


    The students around were stunned . . .


    What was happening?


    Why did the fairy-like Teacher Feng become like an abandoned wife?


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, didn''t this seem like a wife who was trying to catch her heartless man?


    It was evident that Feng Ruoqing was explicitly looking for Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan seemed to be terrified of seeing Feng Ruoqing.


    Everyone could not help guessing what was going on between these two people.


    Even Huyan Yong who was normally composed had a curious light flashing in his eyes. Clearly, he wanted to know what was going on just like the rest of the students.


    Just now, when Ye Yuan passed the test, many people looked towards him with worship or with envy.


    But now, everyone looked towards him with killing intent in their eyes without any prior agreement.


    It looked like if they were to discover that Ye Yuan really profaned the dream lover of all the men in the Dan Wu Academy, these students would definitely rush up and tear Ye Yuan to shreds.


    The most painful thing in this world was having the goddess in their heart being defiled by other men, even if that man was the newest genius in the Dan Wu Academy!


    Ye Yuan had incurred the wrath of everyone.


    He wanted to run, but he was completely blocked by a group of people.


    Initially, there were still some gaps around. But now, they congregated without any prior planning, giving Ye Yuan no chance to escape at all.


    In this short while, Feng Ruoqing already reached Ye Yuan.


    "Run then. What? Not running anymore?" Feng Ruoqing was fuming as she looked at Ye Yuan.


    "It''s not that I don''t want to run, but I can''t run! Teacher Feng, your rallying power is too strong!" Ye Yuan smiled bitterly as he answered her.


    "Why are you hiding from me?" Feng Ruoqing was secretly a little pleased, but she still pulled a long face and asked.


    "Me? When did I? Teacher Feng, you really maligned me!" Ye Yuan blinked his eyes innocently.


    "You still dare to say you didn''t? Then why did you run just now?"


    "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and was just about to leave. Coincidence! It was definitely a coincidence!"


    "Stop trying to pull anything over me! Quickly follow me!"


    "Teacher Feng, I really have something very important to do!"


    "I don''t care how important it is! If you don''t come, I''m going to use force!"


    ''Don''t, don''t! I''ll follow you, alright?"


    "That''s more like it!"


    Under everyone''s stunned eyes, Feng Ruoqing grabbed Ye Yuan and left . . .


    Actually, Feng Ruoqing had already looked for Ye Yuan several times these past few days. But every time, Ye Yuan was sleeping.


    With Lu-er blocking the way outside, it was not nice for Feng Ruoqing to barge in.


    Ye Yuan also did not attend medicinal theory lessons these past few days, making Feng Ruoqing unable to find Ye Yuan even if she wanted to.


    As for Ye Yuan, why would he be interested in becoming an assistant?


    The things that Feng Ruoqing was playing with was not much different than children playing with mud. If it was not a waste of time for him to be an assistant, then what was?


    Ye Yuan''s most pressing concern at the moment was to increase his strength. Where would he have the energy to go be an assistant for this little lass?


    With Feng Ruoqing''s tiny bit of ability in Alchemy Dao, she was not even qualified to be an assistant for Ye Yuan. Now, she actually wanted him to be her assistant? Wasn''t this a joke?


    That day, all he wanted to do was to quickly get rid of Feng Ruoqing. He did not expect that slightly revealing a bit of his ability would invite such troubles.


    Hence, he made the decision to play cat and mouse with her when he heard from Lu-er that Feng Ruoqing was looking for him.


    Who knew that he would be caught red-handed by Feng Ruoqing after only hiding for a few days?


    Coincidentally enough, Feng Ruoqing did not know that Ye Yuan was taking the test here. But when she passed by, she heard that students were gathering over at the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    Feng Ruoqing was somewhat curious about what was happening over at the Illusionary Spirit Tower. So she stopped a student to ask about it.


    Who knew that this inquiry would result in information on Ye Yuan. Furthermore, this news also gave her sufficient shock.


    She naturally knew that Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago. But he actually broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm in a few days'' time.


    If it was just breaking through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, then forget it. But Ye Yuan actually challenged three rounds consecutively, becoming an Earth Rank student. The shock it gave her was too great.


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan''s attainments in Martial Dao were also incredibly impressive.


    Back in the medicinal theory class, Ye Yuan left a very profound impression on Feng Ruoqing.


    A Yellow Rank student who was not even an Alchemy Apprentice actually had such understanding towards a high-level Tier 2 pill formula. He also knew an obscure refinement technique like the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. Hence, she had the thought of making him an assistant.


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan that fellow would actually hide from her!


    Feng Ruoqing who had never known rejection became even more stubborn. She must capture Ye Yuan to become her assistant!

 Chapter 48: I Just Want You

    Chapter 48: I Just Want You


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "I''m going crazy! Just what on earth is going on between Teacher Feng and Ye Yuan?!"


    "That''s right. Their conversation was unclear. I only know that one was running, while the other was chasing."


    "Oh God. My Goddess! If Ye Yuan dares to do anything, I will definitely kill him!"


    "That''s right. We must find out what happened! If Ye Yuan really did something that angers men, even God, then we must eliminate that hateful fellow!"


    Only Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing knew what their conversation was all about, which drove everyone crazy.


    Under this circumstance, the ''Protect Ruoqing Alliance'' was officially established.


    There were two primary missions in this alliance. The first was to figure out what happened between Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing.


    The second was a priority over the first mission. The moment they discovered that Ye Yuan really did something, they will beat Ye Yuan half to death. Then afterward, they will beat him up every time they saw him! That would make him regret what he did for the rest of his life!


    Regardless of how powerful Ye Yuan was, he just became an Earth Rank student. One could casually grab a bunch of Earth Rank students who were stronger than Ye Yuan.


    Of course, there were some who linked it to the medicinal theory class that day. But Teacher Feng only asked Ye Yuan to be an assistant. It should not have caused such a ruckus, right?


    Furthermore, it was a wonderful thing to be Teacher Feng''s assistant. How did it turn into a public pursuit?


    After understanding the situation, the ''Protect Ruoqing Alliance'' filtered out that possibility. They felt something else must have happened between the two of them.


    At the same time, multiple speculations about what happened between Feng Ruoqing and Ye Yuan started to spread among the students and even among the teachers in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Of course, this was all for later. Currently, all Ye Yuan was thinking about was how to get rid of this pestering Feng Ruoqing as soon as possible.


    Ye Yuan could tell at a glance that Feng Ruoqing truly loved alchemy. That was because she was exactly the same as the past him.


    Dealing with this sort of people was tough. She would become like a curious baby whenever she encountered something interesting related to Alchemy Dao and would only let it go after she understood it.


    Presently, Feng Ruoqing was like that. She was fixated on Ye Yuan because she felt that Ye Yuan could help her refine the Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill, helping her to successfully breakthrough to the high-rank Alchemy Master!


    However, Ye Yuan really did not want to waste too much time on this.


    On the one hand, Feng Ruoqing might go from bad to worse if Ye Yuan taught her.


    On the other hand, it was a little outrageous for a student to teach a teacher, possibly causing some unnecessary trouble.


    Ye Yuan walked in front while Feng Ruoqing followed behind, keeping a close eye on Ye Yuan''s every move to prevent him from running.


    Ye Yuan felt a headache coming on and realized that he could not escape today.


    "Teacher Feng? What a coincidence." At this moment, a man dressed in yellow blocked their path, greeting Feng Ruoqing with zeal.


    Ye Yuan did not recognize this person, but looking from his clothing, he should be a teacher in the Dan Wu Academy.


    "I have seen Senior Apprentice Brother Song Qian." Feng Ruoqing frowned lightly, but she still returned the greeting.


    Ye Yuan sneered secretly by the side. This Song Qian''s eyes shone when he saw Feng Ruoqing and never even looked at him. He was clearly one of Feng Ruoqing''s fanatical pursuers.


    However, this Song Qian was around 25 to 26 years old. He should be considered young and talented among the academy''s teachers.


    But sadly, judging from her reaction, Feng Ruoqing did not seem to be interested in this fellow.


    A woman like this who was infatuated with Alchemy Dao probably could not be subdued by any ordinary man.


    Looking at Song Qian''s appearance, he seemed to be prepared to enter the pill refinement chamber as well.


    Ye Yuan speculated could it be that this Song Qian knew that Feng Ruoqing was coming, so he waited here since long ago?


    "Teacher Feng is going to the pill refinement chamber again?" Song Qian asked a pointless question.


    "Yes," Feng Ruoqing replied indifferently.


    "Teacher Feng is so diligent! But this is the teachers'' pill refinement area. Teacher Feng brought this student over for?"


    Hearing Song Qian, Ye Yuan rolled his eyes involuntarily. So this guy actually noticed him. Ye Yuan thought that he was air in his eyes.


    "Ye Yuan is the assistant I found."


    "Assistant?" Only now did Song Qian take a look at Ye Yuan. With a frown, he said, "If I''m not wrong, he isn''t even an Alchemy Apprentice. This Song is incapable, but I dare say that I''m capable enough to be Teacher Feng''s assistant."


    Song Qian could tell at a glance that Ye Yuan was not even an Alchemy Apprentice. That was because alchemists who were ranked would display the badge issued by the Alchemist Association on their chests. It was a symbol of one''s status as an alchemist!


    Song Qian and Feng Ruoqing both displayed a badge on their chest with two blinding stars on it. This represented the identity of a Tier 2 Alchemist!


    The Alchemist Associate also existed in the Divine Realm, but in his previous life, both Zhengyang Zi and Qingyun Zi didn''t have this sort of badge. That was because the two of them had never taken part in the Alchemist Association''s tests.


    However, nobody in the Divine Realm dared to take the father-son pair lightly, because their attainments in Alchemy Dao was not inferior to the president of the Alchemist Association, Ou Yezi.


    But right now, Ye Yuan did not have the time to reminisce his past life. Song Qian''s words made his eyes light up!


    Just as Feng Ruoqing was about to speak, Ye Yuan interrupted, "That''s right! That''s right! Teacher Feng, I''m not even an Alchemy Apprentice. How can I possibly help you? Teacher Song is a fine gentleman who is also an Alchemy Master. With his help, what medicinal pills can''t be refined? Since that''s the case, then I have no more business here. I will be making a move first."


    While Ye Yuan was talking, Song Qian looked at him approvingly. He thought to himself that this punk really knew what to do. He could give him guidance in the future.


    "Teacher Feng, you see . . ."


    Feng Ruoqing did not even look at Song Qian. She suddenly clawed at Ye Yuan, and an indistinct essence energy thread immediately coiled around Ye Yuan''s ankle.


    If the students who watched Ye Yuan''s deathmatch were here, they would see that Feng Ruoqing''s move was precisely the Lesser Capturing Hand that Fei Qingping used before!


    Except that the power of the exact same move, when displayed by Feng Ruoqing could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Ye Yuan was about to sneak away after he finished talking when he felt as if his legs were suddenly filled with lead, and he face-planted the ground from the inertia.


    "Aiyo!"


    Ye Yuan wailed in pain on the ground. The difference between the two was too great. Feng Ruoqing did not even move, and she could knock him down.


    After knocking him down, Feng Ruoqing took two steps forward. As she walked by Song Qian, she did not even bother to look at him.


    Walking in front of Ye Yuan, Feng Ruoqing frowned as she said, "Are you a man? How can you go back on your word? I don''t need other people to be my assistant. I only want you! If you run again, I don''t mind reporting you to the dean to get you expelled from the academy. I believe my words will have some standing."


    After she said that, Ye Yuan could not muster up any temper.


    In the cultivation world, it was an undeniable fact that disciples from sects were stronger that loose cultivators.


    As the outer sect of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the Dan Wu Academy gathered virtually every single top geniuses. There was no better place than here to temper himself.


    Ye Yuan did not have any interest in the Dan Wu Academy''s resources, but he had some interest in the geniuses here.


    Seeing Ye Yuan finally yielded, Feng Ruoqing felt delighted from subjugating him. She finally caught this punk.


    Turning to Song Qian, she said, "Many thanks for Teacher Song''s good intentions, but it''s enough for Ye Yuan to be my assistant. Teacher Song definitely has many things to do as the Dan Wu Academy''s rising star. I won''t delay your time."


    "Ye Yuan, let''s go."


    Ye Yuan sighed and obediently followed behind Feng Ruoqing.


    Although he did not turn his head back, Ye Yuan clearly sensed that there was a pair of eyes filled with ill intent staring at him.

 Chapter 49: Refining Medicinal Essence

    Chapter 49: Refining Medicinal Essence


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At the Dan Wu Academy, alchemy instructors had their own personal pill refinement chamber. Of course, Feng Ruoqing was not an exception.


    Feng Ruoqing''s pill refinement chamber had a very well-planned layout. All sorts of medicinal herbs were categorized and stored neatly.


    In the center of the chamber was a red-colored pill cauldron. With Ye Yuan''s judgment, he could obviously tell with a glance that this pill cauldron was a superior-grade Tier 2 pill cauldron. Most likely, there was no better one than this among the alchemy instructors in the Dan Wu Academy. However, a pill cauldron like this was worthless to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips and found a place to sit down.


    That scene happened to have caught Feng Ruoqing''s eyes, suddenly making her feel irritated.


    "It seems like you despise my Red Lotus Cauldron?"


    "Ah? This cauldron? Not bad, not bad. Haha." Ye Yuan laughed it off.


    With just one look, she could tell that it was completely insincere.


    "You have seen better Tier 2 pill cauldrons?"


    "Me? Haha. I''m just a student who isn''t even an Alchemy Apprentice. Where would I see such a high-tier pill cauldron? It''s called Red Lotus Cauldron right? Good name, good name!"


    Ye Yuan did not expect that his subconscious contempt for the pill cauldron would actually result in a series of questioning from Feng Ruoqing, so he had to humor her a little.


    But he really did look down on this sort of pill cauldrons. Back in his past life, he would not even bother to use this sort of pill cauldron to boil water with.


    In the past, if someone were to say that her pill cauldron was not good, Feng Ruoqing will immediately flip out. But Ye Yuan gave her an exceptional feel.


    The corner of the iceberg that Ye Yuan revealed during the medicinal theory class had already exceeded the boundaries of the Dan Wu Academy''s students.


    Even the first place on the Alchemy Roll of Honor could not possibly know how to refine the Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    It was possible to have coincidentally seen the pill formula before, but the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was not something that the average person would know.


    Even Feng Ruoqing only happened to have seen this refinement technique from an extremely obscure ancient record.


    Back then, it was like she obtained a treasure. She spent a period of time practicing this refinement technique in a frenzied craze, but she had no choice but to give up in the end.


    This refinement technique was too hard!


    And because of that, Feng Ruoqing was very interested in Ye Yuan, making him her assistant.


    To think that this fellow did not appreciate it and even repeatedly hid from her. This made the proud Feng Ruoqing go crazy. Hence, her actions today.


    Feng Ruoqing did not know why, but even though Ye Yuan repeatedly brushed her off and also looked down on her, she felt that Ye Yuan''s scorn came naturally from the heart. He was not pretending to be an expert.


    Like just now, Feng Ruoqing had always been very confident with her Red Lotus Cauldron. Virtually every alchemist who came by her pill refinement chamber would be shocked by the cauldron. But Ye Yuan only pursed his mouth and had a scornful look.


    Feng Ruoqing did not detect even a trace of amazement from Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Could it be . . . that Ye Yuan really knew the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?


    Feng Ruoqing was frightened by her own thought. How was it possible?


    Feng Ruoqing practiced the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique before and was well aware of the difficulty of this refinement technique. Ye Yuan was only fifteen. How could he know this refinement technique?


    "I asked you to be my assistant, not be a lord. What are you sitting there for? Hurry up and come prepare the herbs," Feng Ruoqing said coldly.


    "O-oh. Coming, coming."


    Ye Yuan staggered up to the operating stage. There were all sorts of medicinal herbs placed on it. He took a look at the herbs and asked curiously, "Aren''t you going to refine a Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill? Why all the ingredients you prepared are Tier 1?"


    Feng Ruoqing flushed slightly and immediately replied angrily, "I asked you to prepare the medicines, so just do it. Why are you asking so many questions?!"


    Looking at the situation, Ye Yuan instantly understood that this woman had yet to master the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. She was using these Tier 1 medicines to practice.


    However, this Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was not something that could be mastered in one or two days. How long would he have to accompany her to train with these Tier 1 medicines for practice?


    His time was highly precious, and he did not have the time to accompany this woman to refine pills!


    Ye Yuan sighed and just turned around to prepare the medicines.


    Feng Ruoqing turned around and entered the quiet chamber to meditate and trying to adjust her mental state.


    Pill refinement was a highly complicated form of knowledge. One must not be distracted even in the slightest when refining pills. It must be finished in one go.


    Even the smallest disturbance could affect the quality of the medicinal pill, possibly even resulting in a useless pill.


    Hence, the majority of alchemists would choose to meditate before refining pills. They would only start refining after they adjusted their mental state to be unperturbed by anything.


    But Feng Ruoqing had just adjusted herself and was yet to fully enter a meditative state when there was a knocking on the quiet chamber''s door.


    This time, Feng Ruoqing really got angry. Dropping the fact that Ye Yuan repeatedly hid from her despite that being her assistant was a wonderful task that every man in the academy would fight to do, now that he was helping out as her assistant, he was causing trouble instead of properly performing his tasks!


    If there was no justified reason, she would definitely beat him up brutally, and then hang him for three days to warn the public.


    The door creaked open, revealing the raging Feng Ruoqing.


    "Haha. I didn''t expect Teacher Feng to open the door so hastily. It made me jump." Ye Yuan gave a startled expression.


    Ignoring Ye Yuan, Feng Ruoqing raised her right palm. Traces of essence energy flowed along the palm as if it would strike any moment.


    "I asked you to prepare the herbs! What are you doing?! Don''t you know that I''m meditating?! If your reason isn''t justified, be ready to receive this palm!" Feng Ruoqing snarled.


    "Don''t! Teacher Feng, if you said you had violent tendencies, then I wouldn''t have become your assistant even if I had to copy the ''Herbal Compendium'' a hundred times back then! The herbs are all prepared already. I even finished refining two sets of medicinal essences before coming over to call you. I didn''t think that you would take so long to meditate!" Ye Yuan jumped far away with a shout.


    "What? The medicinal essences are all refined?"


    Feng Ruoqing could not immediately process his words. It had only been about 15 minutes since she entered the quiet chamber. Not only did Ye Yuan finish preparing so many herbs, but he also managed to refine the medicinal essence?


    How was that possible?


    "That''s right. This reason is passable, right? I don''t want to be smacked to death," Ye Yuan said gloomily.


    Putting down her hand, Feng Ruoqing gave a cold humphand said, "If I find out that you are talking nonsense, then it wouldn''t be as simple as a single palm."


    After saying this, Feng Ruoqing walked over to the operating stage and was immediately stunned.


    Two sets of medicinal essences quietly sat in their jade containers. The color was extremely pure. It was clear that they were excellently refined with all the useless medicinal dregs purged away.


    Feng Ruoqing looked at Ye Yuan and opened her mouth, but no words came out of it.


    "Teacher Feng, do you want to say something? Aren''t you going to smack me to death? At most, I will call you later next time. How long do you normally take to meditate?" Ye Yuan asked innocently.


    ". . . . . ."


    Feng Ruoqing was speechless.


    After a while, Feng Ruoqing finally sucked in a deep breath and asked Ye Yuan, "This is the medicinal essence you refined?"


    Ye Yuan looked around and asked curiously, "Are there other people in here?"


    "B-but how did you do it so quickly?"


    An ordinary Alchemy Apprentice would spend an hour just to prepare the herbs. In addition to refining the medicine essence, it would take at least two hours!


    Preparing the herbs was not merely just pairing it together. One needed to accurately weigh out the quantity. Even the tiniest bit of error would not be tolerated.


    Hence, an alchemist''s assistant would always be very cautious when preparing the herbs. As a result, a lot of time was spent on it.


    Even Feng Ruoqing herself needed over an hour to refine a Tier 1 pill''s medicinal essence.


    But Ye Yuan only used 15 minutes. This was just unheard of!


    "Isn''t it just refining a Tier 1 pill''s medicinal essence? Why do you need to spend so long on such a simple task?" Ye Yuan nonchalantly questioned her.

 Chapter 50: Drawing a Circle with Left Hand, Drawing a Square with Right Hand

    Chapter 50: Drawing a Circle with Left Hand, Drawing a Square with Right Hand


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    If it was about martial arts, Ye Yuan might be more humble. But as for alchemy, Ye Yuan really did not know how to be modest.


    It could be said that Ye Yuan spent his entire past life busying with alchemy. He was simply too familiar with medicinal herbs and pills.


    This sort of familiarity was engraved into the soul. Even if he changed his body, that sort of familiar feeling which came from the soul would automatically make the body carry out the most appropriate actions.


    Originally, Ye Yuan wanted to be low-key. But once he touched those medicinal herbs, he could not help but to complete the preparation of herbs and refine the medicinal essence.


    Others might be filled with trepidation towards measuring the quantity of the medicinal herbs and did not dare to carelessly leave out anything. But Ye Yuan just had to casually grab them with his hands, and the quantity of the herbs would definitely be accurate.


    This was the ability developed through million and million times of practice. Nobody could imitate that.


    Feng Ruoqing stared blankly at Ye Yuan and did not know what to say.


    Refining a Tier 1 medicinal pill was . . . simple?


    "D-do as you like. I-I''m going to the quiet chamber to meditate!"


    After saying that, Feng Ruoqing turned around, and entered the quiet chamber once more.


    This round of meditation was four hours; it was much longer than initially planned.


    Feng Ruoqing''s mental state was a mess and was not able to enter a meditative state for a long time. She only managed to purge her distracting thoughts after two hours, and then she entered the empty state.


    After exiting the quiet chamber, Feng Ruoqing recovered her haughty and cold attitude once again. Walking in front of the Red Lotus Cauldron, she instructed emotionlessly, "Bring the medicinal essence over. Fire up the cauldron. Refine!"


    Ye Yuan did not waste these four hours either. He was training while meditating the whole time.


    In comparison with his past life, the current Ye Yuan was much more diligent.


    The Ye Yuan who managed to become an Alchemy Emperor before understood that there were no shortcuts to cultivation. No matter how talented one was, there was only hard work and more hard work.


    Hearing Feng Ruoqing''s instructions, Ye Yuan passed the two jade containers with the medicinal essences in them over to her and prepared to fire up the cauldron.


    Feng Ruoqing looked over at Ye Yuan in surprise. Initially, she was prepared to open her mouth to instruct Ye Yuan on what to do. But who would have thought that Ye Yuan would perform what an assistant should do with such familiarity.


    The Dan Wu Academy''s pill refinement chambers were established on top of an Earth Vein. Earth fire was guided over to refine pills.


    This sort of pill refinement style was only suitable for low tiers. High tier pills must use heaven and earth flame sources. But Ye Yuan was not a stranger to this style of refinement.


    Opening the fire valve, the scorching earth fire burst out from the ground, instantly raising the temperature in the pill refinement chamber.


    Although earth fire could not be compared to heaven and earth flame sources, it was extraordinary among the mortal fires. It was more than sufficient to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill.


    Ye Yuan rapidly formed seals with both hands and slowly moved towards the fire. The fire immediately became like an obedient baby while still being incomparably docile. 1


    Following which, Ye Yuan spread his hands apart and cried out, "Stabilize!"


    The earth fire automatically separated into two and scorched the two sides of the Red Lotus Cauldron uniformly.


    Looking at this scene, a trace of surprise flashed across Feng Ruoqing''s eyes once again.


    She had never heard of this kind of fire controlling skill!


    Earth fire was abnormally wild. It could only be used after layers upon layers of array formations were placed on top of the academy.


    Even so, this fire was not something that an average Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm could easily control.


    But this fire was just like a house pet in front of Ye Yuan. If he asked it to lay down, it would not dare to stand.


    However, the refinement procedure had already begun. Feng Ruoqing could not afford to be surprised and hastily recollected herself.


    Feng Ruoqing formed hand seals with one hand and pointed a finger towards the Red Lotus Cauldron. The cauldron lid flew up by itself.


    Following that, she gestured with her other hand, and the two medicinal essences flew through the air into the pill furnace.


    "Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique! Activate!"


    With a low cry, Feng Ruoqing''s two jade-like hands moved like phantom images.


    Right now, it was no longer Ye Yuan''s business. He took it easy as he watched Feng Ruoqing repeatedly change seals continuously to temper the medicinal essence. Watching this, he could not refrain from nodding his head.


    This woman more or less had some standards. It looked like she spent no little effort on the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    But she had yet to fully master the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, so it appears executing it was a little forced. It seems like this furnace of medicinal pills was going to be wasted.


    The Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was not so easy to master. During the refining process, the alchemist had to do two things at once. One hand had to perform Yang-attribute seals, while the other hand had to execute Yin-attribute seals. Furthermore, it had to be carried out simultaneously with no room for any error.


    Any mistake during the process would result in the furnace of medicinal pills to be wasted.


    This was an extremely challenging test towards the alchemist''s mental strength, soul strength, and familiarity with the seals.


    In the beginning, Feng Ruoqing did quite well. But around the mid-stage of the refinement, it was clear that her strength was failing. Small beads of sweat started appearing on her forehead, and she looked like straining herself.


    Puff!


    A black cloud appeared.


    The pills were ruined . . .


    Feng Ruoqing stomped her feet angrily and shouted at Ye Yuan, "Again!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Ruoqing but did not say anything and immediately went to prepare the herbs.


    This time around, Feng Ruoqing finally saw how Ye Yuan prepared the herbs, and she was left utterly speechless.


    Ye Yuan grabbed at this herb and grabbed again at another herb. After that, he threw them into a jade container and started mashing them; appearing highly irresponsible.


    However, Feng Ruoqing was unable to open her mouth to scold him. That was because she knew that the medicine essence Ye Yuan refined, regardless of quality or precision, was much better than her doing it.


    Just how in the world did this guy do it? Could it be that his hands were measurement tools? How did he know exactly how much was required?


    The way Ye Yuan prepared the herbs was really too casual . . .


    Seeing Feng Ruoqing''s expression, Ye Yuan gave a dry cough and laughed awkwardly. "This . . . came from family teachings. You are also aware that my father is an Alchemy Grandmaster. I was forced since young. Haha . . . Haha."


    Feng Ruoqing glared fiercely at Ye Yuan. Believe my foot!


    But she also knew that Ye Yuan would not tell her the truth, so it was pointless to ask.


    After 15 minutes, Ye Yuan finished refining the medicinal essence once more.


    Feng Ruoqing swallowed a Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill. After meditating for a while, her essence energy had more or less recovered.


    Looking at this, Ye Yuan was secretly dumbstruck. Just what was this Feng Ruoqing''s background?


    A Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill naturally was not much in Ye Yuan''s eyes. But it was not something common in the State of Qin. The price was very high.


    Feng Ruoqing casually took one out to eat and did not even blinked.


    Also, that Red Lotus Cauldron, it was absolutely a high-grade medicine cauldron in the State of Qin. Ordinary people simply could not get a hold of it.


    It seemed like this Teacher Feng had a very powerful backing!


    The result of the second try of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was inevitably another failure.


    Following this, the third time, and then the fourth time. Not even once did it succeed.


    The medicinal essence would basically turn into a black cloud of smoke when refining at the latter stages, becoming ruined.


    Feng Ruoqing became increasingly depressed, and she actually knew that the reason why she could last only up to the latter stages was due to the medicinal essence Ye Yuan refined, as well as his control over the fire. Otherwise, she might not even have lasted to the late stages!


    Just how in the world do I master this damn Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?!


    "Again!" Even though there were Tier 2 Qi Returning Pills to recover essence energy, in reality, Feng Ruoqing already could not hold on much longer from such an intense day of refining.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Ruoqing again and felt a little conflicted in his heart.


    "What are you looking at?! Go prepare the herbs!" Feng Ruoqing barked irately.


    Ye Yuan did not go to prepare the herbs but sighed instead. He walked to the table and grabbed a piece of paper and two brushes.


    Feng Ruoqing was curious about what Ye Yuan took the brush and paper for, so she went toward him.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan holding one brush each with his left and right hand, then he simultaneously drew two shapes on the paper. His left hand drew a circle, while his right hand drew a square.


    "Don''t train anymore. This way of training won''t work. We will see again after you master this."


    After he finished, Ye Yuan passed the two brushes over to Feng Ruoqing.

 Chapter 51: Feng Zhirou

    Chapter 51: Feng Zhirou


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Train? What''s the point of this training?" Feng Ruoqing asked blankly.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Up to you whether you want to train or not. If you keep on training the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique like you did just now, then you might as well find a way to directly increase your soul strength. It isn''t so easy to jump ranks to battle."


    "Tch. What''s so hard about this? I will draw right now for you to see!" Feng Ruoqing refused to concede.


    Saying that she pushed Ye Yuan aside and also drew on the paper.


    But as she drew, the right hand became a circle. Furthermore, an uneven circle.


    "I don''t believe this!"


    Feng Ruoqing drew again. She concentrated on making her right hand''s drawing into a square. The result was that the right hand drew a square, and the left hand also drew a square!


    After a few more times, Feng Ruoqing was thoroughly defeated.


    "Why is this so hard?! Not drawing anymore!"


    Feng Ruoqing threw the brush aside in a fit like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Where was the proud and cold female teacher?


    "It''s because it is difficult; that''s why I asked you to draw it. Train well. After you master this, you shouldn''t be far from crossing the entry threshold of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. Alright. I''ve already taught you the secret. I don''t need to be your assistant for the next few days anymore, right? I''m leaving."


    "Halt! Do you think that you can hoodwink me by coming up with this crap? If you dare to walk out today, I will make the dean expel you! If you don''t believe me, just try!" Feng Ruoqing was livid.


    Ye Yuan came up with some dubious thing and said that it would help in mastering the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. Was it not insulting her intelligence?


    "Aunt, who are you arguing with?" At this moment, a girl dressed in white martial outfit pushed the door open and entered.


    This person was similarly a stunning beauty, with watery almond-shaped eyes like a crescent moon, and a slender waist that looked like it had no bones. Silky hair flowed down her shoulders; she wore white colored martial clothing while carrying a sword, giving off a heroic spirit.


    Looking closely, this girl and Feng Ruoqing''s eyebrows had some similarity. No wonder she called out ''Aunt.''


    It was just that the age difference between this aunt and niece pair was too small. They looked just like sisters instead.


    Ye Yuan had never seen this girl before, but he quickly figured out who this white-clothed girl was.


    The most popular instructor in the Dan Wu Academy was Feng Ruoqing, and the most popular female student was Feng Zhirou.


    Who could such a stunning beauty with the ''Feng'' surname be other than Feng Zhirou?


    It was just that Ye Yuan previously did not link these two together, and he did not know that the two of them were actually aunt and niece.


    Feng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan and looked at the disheveled looking Feng Ruoqing; she was stunned. She immediately cried out, "You scoundrel! To actually dare molest my aunt! I''m going to teach you a lesson!"


    Finishing, she did not wait for Ye Yuan''s explanation, and a sword already flashed in front of Ye Yuan''s chest like lightning.


    Ye Yuan did not expect this girl to be so unreasonable; indiscriminately striking with her sword to harm him.


    He wanted to evade, but Feng Zhirou was rank three on the Martial Roll of Honor; a figure that Ye Yuan simply could not hope to match.


    Being locked down by Feng Zhirou''s sword qi, Ye Yuan was actually unable to move. Even Instant Flash became sluggish.


    This was a lethal sword.


    This unforeseen situation occurred too quickly. Feng Ruoqing clearly did not manage to react in time either. Even if she wanted to help, it was already too late.


    "Ah!" Feng Ruoqing screamed and shut her eyes in fright.


    In the time of crisis, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to conceal his abilities. In a flurry, he executed an Absolute Yang Finger.


    Ding!


    Following the crisp sound was the sound of the sword''s edge slicing open the skin.


    Ye Yuan pushed Instant Flash to its limit at the same time he used his finger, dodging this sword by a hair''s breath. Even so, he still suffered some injuries. The sword''s edge made a cut on his right arm.


    "STOP!" Feng Ruoqing was shocked by Feng Zhirou''s action and hurriedly called out for her to stop.


    She had the intention to stop it just now, but she was way too slow.


    After practicing the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique for such a long time, both her essence energy and mental strength was already completely dried up. How could she possibly stop Feng Zhirou''s attack?


    Watching Feng Zhirou''s sword stabbed straight towards Ye Yuan''s chest, Feng Ruoqing''s heart leaped to her throat. Who knew that Ye Yuan would miraculously evade this lethal attack?


    Feng Zhirou also did not expect her sword to be evaded by Ye Yuan. She saw through Ye Yuan''s strength at a glance, only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Someone at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm actually managed to dodge her sword?


    Even though Feng Zhirou only used 30% of her strength and not her full power, it should still not have been evaded by a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Especially Ye Yuan''s finger just now. The impact even made the web between her thumb and index finger go numb. How was this possible?!


    "Zhirou! What are you doing?!" Feng Ruoqing asked angrily.


    Only now did Feng Zhirou realized that she seemed to have gotten into trouble. She playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "A man and woman staying together in a room. I saw you lose your temper, and your clothes were also disheveled, so I thought . . ."


    Feng Ruoqing blushed heavily at what she said. "If you continue saying nonsense, watch me tear your mouth! We have been refining pills all this while. Ye Yuan is the assistant that I invited! When will you fix your mischievous attitude?! Otherwise, you will cause a disaster sooner or later!"


    Feng Zhirou pouted her lips and said in an aggrieved tone, "Aunt, I was wrong okay? I won''t dare to next time."


    "Why haven''t you apologized to Ye Yuan yet?" Feng Ruoqing asked furiously.


    Before Feng Zhirou even apologized, Ye Yuan erupted first.


    He really had enough of it today! He was driven like a duck onto a perch, forced to become some bullshit assistant for Feng Ruoqing. The result was that Feng Ruoqing was such a noob that he could not even bear to look on anymore.


    He taught Feng Ruoqing the method on how to dual-task. But the result was that instead of expressing her gratitude, this woman refused to stop bothering him.


    And now, there was this completely unreasonable Feng Zhirou who jumped out, nearly killing him with her sword!


    Ye Yuan barely managed to get this life. If he were to die again, then he would be screwed.


    "What apology?! I''ve really had enough of the two of you aunt and niece! One keeps pestering me, and the other is savage and unreasonable! I came here to help out of goodwill, and the result was that I nearly lost my life! Just who did I provoke?! This Young Master can''t stand this frustration anymore! Feng Ruoqing, if you have the ability, then just get me expelled! If this place won''t keep me, there will be a place willing to take me! Farewell!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan strode out of the door.


    Feng Zhirou was originally ready to make an apology but was rebuffed by Ye Yuan; she could not help it but become angry. "Who''s that? He''s so bad tempered! Just now, I didn''t make clear of the situation. But didn''t he only suffer some light injuries?"


    Feng Ruoqing did not stop Ye Yuan this time. But after hearing Feng Zhirou grumbling, she inevitably became annoyed. "Look who''s talking?! That sword of yours nearly killed him just now, and you are still acting so righteous! Imperial Brother really spoiled you! When I go back this time around, I''ll definitely report all of your misdoings in the academy to Imperial Brother to make him ground you!"


    The moment Feng Zhirou heard ''ground,'' she immediately grabbed Feng Ruoqing''s arm and begged, "Good Aunt, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please, please don''t snitch on me to Imperial Father. I don''t want to stay in the palace all day."


    "Humph! If you don''t want to be grounded, then fine. Turn around and go apologize to Ye Yuan! Remember, it''s apologizing! If Ye Yuan doesn''t accept your apology, then just wait to be grounded. I will tell Imperial Brother all about your matters, one by one!" Feng Ruoqing was in a panic now. If Ye Yuan were really killed by Feng Zhirou just now, then she would probably live in guilt for the rest of her life.

    Chapter 52: Going to Apologize


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Alright, alright! I will go, okay?! I will definitely apologize properly to that fellow and ask that great man to not harbor grievance for my past wrongdoing. Alright?" Feng Zhirou did not have any choice, so she could only agree.


    "That''s much better! Oh right. Why did you suddenly come to look for me?" This niece had always avoided her in the academy. She definitely came to find her today because of some matter.


    "Aiya. If you didn''t mention, I would have forgotten about it already. It''s all because you interrupted me!" Feng Zhirou looked like she was suddenly enlightened.


    ". . . . . ."


    "Actually, I came to say goodbye to you. I''m going back to the capital in five days to participate in the Alchemy Master test. After I passed the test, I will be the same as you, an Alchemy Master!" Feng Zhirou exclaimed proudly.


    "With the way you are, you still want to be an Alchemy Master? Talk again after you pass." Feng Ruoqing took her down a peg without hesitation.


    Advancing as an alchemist was entirely different from the martial path. To advance to Alchemy Master, the first requirement was to cultivate and reach the Spirit Condensation Realm. But that did not mean that one could become an Alchemy Master just by advancing to the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Feng Zhirou already reached Spirit Condensation Realm long ago, but she never passed the Alchemy Master test, even though she was top three on the Alchemy Roll of Honor. From this, it was clear just how rare and respected the position of Alchemy Master was.


    Feng Zhirou pouted and said, "What kind of aunt are you? You actually cursed your own niece to fail the test!"


    Feng Ruoqing ignored her and muttered to herself, " Oh. Is it a group test again? I wonder how far Ye Yuan can go. With his standard, becoming high-rank Alchemy Apprentice shouldn''t be an issue, I think. Zhirou, I will go along with you tomorrow to visit Ye Yuan. I want him to go take the alchemist test together with you."


    "Hehe. Aunt, you still said that nothing was going on between you two. Every time you open your mouth, it''s all Ye Yuan." Feng Zhirou laughed at her.


    "Damn lass. It looks like you are really asking for a beating!" Feng Ruoqing was totally embarrassed. The aunt and niece pair started wrestling each other.


    After messing around for a while, Feng Zhirou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Ye Yuan . . . I suddenly find this name really familiar. Oh right! Is it the Ye Yuan who fought in the deathmatch?"


    "You only realize this now? He is the hottest topic of discussion in the academy recently. I''m sure you aren''t aware of it yet. Just this morning, he took on three tests consecutively and joined the ranks of the Earth Rank students with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation. Zhirou, he might become a powerful rival to you in the not too distant future!" Feng Ruoqing said solemnly.


    Feng Zhirou opened her mouth wide and exclaimed in amazement, "He''s that amazing? It looks like our State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy has been quiet for far too long. Looks like things are finally going to become interesting."


    Feng Zhirou left, and Feng Ruoqing unexpectedly picked up two brushes, and she started diligently drawing squares and circles on the paper over and over again.


    . . . . . .


    The next day, Feng Ruoqing and her niece went together to Ye Yuan''s residence but was turned away at the door by Lu-er.


    "My apologies to the two of you. My young master is recovering from his wounds, and he said that he won''t meet with anyone," Lu-er said emotionlessly.


    Feng Zhirou immediately lost her temper. "Hey! Didn''t he just suffer from some light injuries?! My aunt and I already came here to apologize. What else does he want?"


    Lu-er was lovable and adorable, but when it came to Young Master, she was completely stern.


    Yesterday, when Young Master came home with injuries, her heart ached for a long time. Now that Feng Zhirou was totally insincere with her apology and even swaggered around, she obviously did not need to be polite.


    "Light injuries? I don''t understand. You clearly injured someone, but you are still so stuck up in front of other people''s house. Who taught you such manner? An apology like that is too precious, so save it for yourself. Our family''s Young Master dare not accept it. I only pray that you stay further away from our family''s Young Master. I''m not going to see you out!" Lu-er directly chased them away.


    Feng Zhirou was about to retort when Feng Ruoqing quickly clamped her mouth shut. This lass is only good at ruining things!


    "Miss Lu-er, it''s all our fault. Please don''t be mad. Actually, Zhirou this lass didn''t have any ill-intentions. She is just straightforward and outspoken, and she is always rash when doing things and ended up injuring your young master. In reality, she feels really guilty in her heart. It''s just that her mouth is unforgiving. You mustn''t try to gain back face with her. One of the reasons we came to look for your young master was to apologize. The other is that we have some important matters to look for him. Just let us go in," Feng Ruoqing said amicably but was much more sincere.


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s voice sounded from within the house. "Lu-er, tell them that I''m not in!"


    ". . . . . ."


    ". . . . . ."


    ". . . . . ."


    The three people outside the house were collectively speechless.


    Feng Zhirou was infuriated by Ye Yuan''s attitude and was about to rush into to dice Ye Yuan into pieces, but she was pulled back by Feng Ruoqing.


    "If you cause trouble again, just wait to be grounded when you get back!" Feng Ruoqing warned coldly. It was clear that she was exasperated by this niece.


    Feng Zhirou could not muster up her temper anymore. Only then, did Feng Ruoqing called out towards the house, "Ye Yuan, it was Zhirou''s fault yesterday. I apologize to you on her behalf. And also I apologize for my attitude yesterday. I won''t force you to be my assistant in the future, alright?"


    Creak.


    The door opened, and Ye Yuan appeared.


    "You''re the one who said it! A good woman is as good as her word. You can''t go back on it!" Ye Yuan was currently in high spirits. Where were there even any signs of injuries?


    "Ye Yuan, you!" Feng Zhirou took a look at Ye Yuan and wished that she could raise her sword to kill him again. But she was completely blocked by Feng Ruoqing.


    "You, what you? Don''t think that I''m scared of you just because you are some Martial Roll''s expert! Wait until I break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. I can kill you with one hand!"


    Ye Yuan was very displeased with this woman!


    The Feng Zhirou in the legends was extremely cold and proud and would not spare a glance for anyone. Who knew that when he met her yesterday, she would actually be a complete lunatic!


    Ye Yuan had walked around the gates of hell once again. It would be weird if he were pleased to see her!


    "Aunt, let me go! I''m going to kill him! I''ll see what he has to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!" Feng Zhirou struggled desperately but did not manage to break free.


    "Enough of this! Just try moving again if you dare!" Feng Ruoqing really released Feng Zhirou, but her words made Feng Zhirou stop.


    "Ye Yuan, if you don''t want me to force you to be my assistant, fine. But you have to promise me one thing! If you can do it, I will let you off," Feng Ruoqing said calmly.


    Hearing her words, Ye Yuan raised his guard instinctively.


    This woman might look good-natured, but in reality, she was as unreasonable as Feng Zhirou deep down in her bones. Previously, she had already set a trap for him. Now, who could guarantee that it was not another trap!


    "Say what it is first! Better not force me. At most, I will just go back to the capital to continue being a silkpants!" Ye Yuan answered like a hoodlum.


    However, Feng Ruoqing did not seem to care. Instead, she gave a sweet smile. "In four days'' time, the academy will organize students to go to the capital''s Alchemist Association to take part in a group test. I want you and Zhirou to take the test together!"


    "Alchemist test?" Ye Yuan was stunned. He did not expect Feng Ruoqing to actually raise such a request.


    Taking the test was not much. But he instinctively held some resistance towards the Alchemist Association.


    In his past life, he, and his father had poor relations with the Alchemist Association. The two were ostracized by all the other alchemists as deviants.


    Now that Ye Yuan was asked to take the test, he felt kind of weird.


    "That''s right. I want you to participate in the Alchemist Association''s Alchemy Apprentice test. And you must go all out! Don''t tell me that you can''t even pass an Alchemy Apprentice test?"


    Feng Ruoqing knew now that Ye Yuan''s level was definitely much higher than an Alchemy Apprentice. It was just that he was limited by his strength so he could not refine high-tier medicinal pills.


    But with Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao prowess, would becoming an Alchemy Apprentice not be just like playing around?


    Ye Yuan did not immediately reply to Feng Ruoqing, but he paced around to ponder about it for a moment. Finally, he nodded his head and then answered, "Fine. I will join."

 Chapter 53: The Drunken Star Manor Makes Its Move

    Chapter 53: The Drunken Star Manor Makes Its Move


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Dean, the talent that this Ye Yuan displayed was truly astonishing. I feel that the academy should nurture him well. The Ten Nations Competition will be taking place in half a year''s time. We had already lost for many years. If we are at the bottom three again this time, we would really have no place to put our old face in public."


    Within the loft, in a deep part of the Dan Wu Academy, Huyan Yong was standing respectfully in front of a middle-aged man.


    This man was the dean of the Dan Wu Academy, Jiang Yunhe. He was a figure that carried tremendous weight in the entire State of Qin!


    His position in the State of Qin was not even beneath His Majesty!


    But Jiang Yunhe was very low-profile as a person, and he rarely showed himself. He pretty much left it all to the associate deans to handle things and did not do anything.


    During the few years which students spend in the Dan Wu Academy, they might not even get to see him once.


    Even among many of the instructors, Jiang Yunhe was a highly mysterious figure.


    Clearly, Huyan Yong was one of the few people in the academy who could meet with Jiang Yunhe.


    It was evident that Huyan Yong specifically came to report to Jiang Yunhe about Ye Yuan''s matter.


    He recounted Ye Yuan''s stunning performance to Jiang Yunhe. But Jiang Yunhe only listened quietly and did not comment anything.


    "Oh Huyan, calm down. Victory and defeat are common for soldiers. There''s no need to fuss over the details. Life is full of ups and downs. When it''s time for us to rise up, other people cannot stop it," Jiang Yunhe said nonchalantly.


    "But Dean! Ye Yuan, he . . ."


    Huyan Yong wanted to say a few more words for Ye Yuan, but Jiang Yunhe gestured to stop him. "I already said calm down. Sigh. Huyan, you are always like this. What are you anxious about? We haven''t even started competing yet. Furthermore, we also have quite a few outstanding students this time around such as Long Tang, Zuo Bugui; oh , and also Feng Zhirou that lass. They are all good seedlings. Well, this Ye Yuan that you mentioned isn''t bad, but a genius that has not matured yet isn''t a genius. Any genius who hasn''t broken through and reached the Spirit Condensation Realm doesn''t count as a genius, understood?"


    After Jiang Yunhe said all that, Huyan Yong slowly calmed down. He seemed to have understood something faintly. "Dean, are you afraid that . . . Ye Yuan is going down the unorthodox path?"


    Thinking about it now, Ye Yuan was just a First Level Essence Qi Realm little rookie a month ago. In a month''s time, he already reached the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm with actual combat power surpassing top geniuses at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm. This sort of leap was a little too exaggerated.


    Without mentioning about others, even a genius like Long Tang would probably require at least a year''s time to train from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? But Ye Yuan did it in only a month.


    Such astonishing growth was truly inconceivable. The most immediate idea was most likely that he had over exhausted his potential, right?


    And the price for over exhausting one''s potential was sacrificing future growth!


    Jiang Yunhe smiled and said, "I didn''t say that. But let''s observe for a period of time first. You don''t have to worry too much about resources and what not. Didn''t Ye Yuan plunder several tens of thousands of Essence Qi Pills? It shouldn''t be a problem to train to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    Huyan Yong sighed and took his leave.


    After Huyan Yong left, Jiang Yunhe walked to the window with his hands behind his back and muttered to himself, " Oh Ye Yuan, I really hope that you are a peerless genius. Don''t let me down!"


    . . . . . .


    The alchemist test would be taking place in the capital in four days'' time. Ye Yuan figured that he might as well skip classes, and brought Lu-er back home to stay for a few days.


    As he had just broken through not long ago, Ye Yuan planned to use these few days to properly consolidate his realm. The next step would be to directly assault the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Within a minor stage in the Essence Qi Realm, Ye Yuan could completely disregard the bottleneck between realms and directly cross them.


    This was already after intentionally slowing down. If it was not out of fear that his foundation would become unstable, Ye Yuan could even break through several realms within a day.


    After all, the Essence Qi Realm was simply too easy for Ye Yuan who was once a Divine King.


    "If Master and Madam know that Young Master became an Earth Rank student, they would be ecstatic." Lu-er was full of pride as if she was the one who became an Earth Rank student.


    "It''s just being a stupid Earth Rank student. Who cares?" Ye Yuan curled his lips in disdain.


    "Of course it''s impressive! You don''t know what kind of expression they had outside. Each of them stared at the light screen as if they saw a ghost. Initially, I didn''t know how amazing Earth Rank students are. But afterward, I heard that there had never been anyone in the Dan Wu Academy who advanced and became an Earth Rank when they were at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. That''s when I found out that Young Master is so incredible!" Lu-er said excitedly.


    " Haha. There will be plenty more times for them to be shocked in the future. If you are this way each time, wouldn''t it be exhausting?" Infected by Lu-er''s mood, Ye Yuan also started laughing heartily.


    "Why would that be tiring? If that were the case, I would be happy every day!" Lu-er replied seriously.


    "Then I will make my Lu-er happy every day, okay?"


    "Hehe. Young Master is still the best! Lu-er is already very happy right now! Yii? Why are there so few people in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? Normally in the past, the queue would be super long at this time."


    The master and servant pair arrived at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion without realizing it. But then Lu-er found that something was not quite right with the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    In the past, the entrance to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was always crowded with streams of people. But today, it looked a little deserted.


    "Let''s go in to check it out."


    Ye Yuan entered the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion with Lu-er and discovered that there were really much fewer people. It was not even half of the norm in the past. What was going on?


    "Young Master Ye, why are you back?"


    The shopkeeper was clearly idling today. The moment Ye Yuan walked in, he noticed this and hurried over to greet the former.


    "Shopkeeper Feng, why are there so few people in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion today? What happened?"


    The shopkeeper was surnamed Feng and was the third-born; so he was called Feng San 1. He was an old employee of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and was completely loyal. Even Ye Hang was very respectful towards him.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s question, he involuntarily let out a long sigh. "Sigh . . . Isn''t it all thanks to that Drunken Star Manor. Who knows where they got the pill formula of something called Essence Gathering Pill. The medicinal effects are 50% stronger than even the effects of a high-grade Essence Qi Pill! These few days, they released the new medicinal pills, attracting everyone over. As a result, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s business fell drastically. Sigh. With this sort of medicinal pill, the Drunken Star Manor is now undefeatable. The owner has also been troubled by this these few days!"


    "It''s really Drunken Star Manor again! Essence Gathering Pill huh . . ." Ye Yuan started to muse.


    "That''s right. The price of this Essence Gathering Pill is about the same as a high-grade Essence Qi Pill, but the medicinal effects are 50% stronger. As long as one is a martial artist, who could possibly resist this kind of temptation? Sigh. It looks like hard times are ahead for our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion."


    Feng San sighed and groaned. His face was full of worry. It was apparent that he spent the past few days distressed over it.


    This move by the Drunken Star Manor came too suddenly without any signs at all. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was caught unaware. As a result, this led to the current situation.


    "Don''t worry too much, Shopkeeper Feng. It''s just a tiny little Essence Gathering Pill. It can''t cause any huge waves." Ye Yuan smiled as he consoled the shopkeeper.


    Feng San looked at Ye Yuan and sighed as he said, "Young Master probably isn''t aware of what this 50% medicinal effect means. This is something that can change the medicinal pills market in the State of Qin! With this, the Drunken Star Manor can become a monopoly power in the future!"


    Ye Yuan knew that any explanation was futile, so he smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper Feng, is my father in the shop? I will go look for him."


    "Yes. The owner has been in a closed-door seclusion in the pill refinement room these past few days."

 Chapter 54: Resolving Concerns for Father

    Chapter 54: Resolving Concerns for Father


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Hang''s hands moved like phantoms as he operated the pill cauldron. The medicinal pill in the pill cauldron was about to form as it gave off a faint light.


    "Set!''


    Ye Hang gave a low cry, and the light on the medicinal pill dissipated, forming a dark green medicinal pill.


    Making a gesture of grabbing at it, the pill flew into Ye Hang''s hand.


    "Sigh. I was too overconfident. If it were so easy to invent a new medicinal pill, how could it be that it''s my, Ye Hang''s, turn to do it?" Ye Hang shook his head and threw away the newly refined pill.


    Presently, Ye Hang looked utterly haggard. It was evident that he was greatly exhausted.


    He was attempting to develop new medicinal pills without getting any sleep or rest these few days in order to prevent the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion from declining. But all of his efforts were in vain.


    Even though Essence Qi Pill was not among high-tier pills, after countless years of development, it was actually incomparably mature.


    How could it be easy to develop a new medicinal pill which had even stronger medicinal effects than Essence Qi Pill to replace it?


    "I didn''t think that after working hard for so many years, I, Ye Hang, still can''t escape the outcome of defeat. What a failure!" Ye Hang sighed again.


    Unwittingly, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared in Ye Hang''s mind, and some clarity was restored in his hazy eyes.


    "If I''m defeated, then I''m defeated. At least my son has that mysterious teacher. His future accomplishments will definitely be limitless."


    He was naturally aware of Ye Yuan''s performance in the Dan Wu Academy these past few days, and he was delighted in his heart.


    But he was still not aware that Ye Yuan had already advanced to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, passed the Black Rank Advancement test, and became an Earth Rank student.


    Ye Hang was originally a sanguine person and did not take defeat heavily. It was just that this bunch of old fellows at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion had followed him for a long time. His individual success or failure was connected to the livelihood of many people. That was why he tried day and night to regain some lost ground.


    Perhaps their hearts were connected. Just as Ye Hang thought about his son, Ye Yuan''s knocking on the door sounded. "Father, this Child is back. May I enter?"


    Ye Hang''s heart shook slightly, and he went to open the door. Sure enough, it was Ye Yuan.


    "Father, I heard that you were in a closed-door seclusion, so I came here directly. I didn''t interrupt you, did I?" Ye Yuan bowed towards Ye Hang and asked.


    "Haha. What''s there to interrupt? Yuan-er is back. Any important matter has to be put aside! Come, let us father and son talk in the study room. Tell me what happened in the Dan Wu Academy." Ye Hang pulled his son and headed out.


    Ye Yuan was touched. Ye Hang''s love for his son really surpassed everything.


    Even at this time, Ye Hang was interested to find out about Ye Yuan''s experience in the Dan Wu Academy rather than finding a way to save the situation. One could only imagine Ye Yuan''s place in Ye Hang''s heart.


    Before leaving, Ye Yuan swept his eyes around the pill refinement room and sniffed the medicinal fragrance lingering in the air. He already knew the goal of Ye Hang''s closed-door seclusion.


    . . . . . .


    "Yuan-er, I heard that you had a deathmatch with that brat from the Wan Family whose surname was Fei, right after you returned to the academy? And that you finished him off with your Third Level Essence Qi Realm strength? That is so satisfying! Yii? Y-you . . . already broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm?"


    Just now, Ye Hang did not notice yet. But as he was talking, he discovered that Ye Yuan''s aura was much stronger than before he left. Clearly, he already broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, so he could not help but be astonished.


    "Haha. I was fortunate and broke through two days ago. I also passed through three advancement tests consecutively yesterday. Now, I''m already an Earth Rank student."


    Ye Yuan was not showing off, but it was because he knew that his father was in a lousy mood. So he found something to cheer him up. It was clear just how much effort he expended from how worn out Ye Hang looked. Ye Yuan felt his heart ache just by looking at him.


    As expected, when Ye Yuan told him that, Ye Hang immediately perked up and exclaimed in delight, "The heavens had opened their eyes! My son really became competent! That brat from the Wan Family only just advanced to become Earth Rank, but my son only used a month to do the same! What a resounding face-smacking difference! Hahaha!"


    After a bout of hearty laughter, Ye Hang gradually quietened down. But the joy on his face could not be concealed.


    Suddenly recalling something, Ye Hang frowned slightly and asked him, "Yuan-er, it''s naturally a good thing for your strength to advance so quickly. But would it affect your future cultivation?"


    Ye Hang''s worry happened to coincide with Jiang Yunhe''s. This concern was not without reason.


    Cultivating the Martial Dao always focused on moving along carefully each step of the way. It was cultivation''s great taboo to neglect a solid foundation in pursuit of a temporary spurt of progress.


    Ye Yuan''s advancement was truly too rapid. As a father, he was naturally concerned whether or not his son''s foundation was unstable, and if it would affect future cultivation.


    "Don''t worry, Father. I know what I''m doing. The cultivation law that Master passed on to me is highly mystical. If I didn''t fear that my cultivation realm rising too quickly would affect my foundation, it wouldn''t be a problem for me to cultivate to the Seventh or Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm right now," Ye Yuan replied indifferently.


    After he said that, Ye Hang calmed down even though he was still a little worried.


    The Master in Ye Yuan''s dream was unfathomable and passed him so many techniques. He most likely would not harm him.


    "Then it''s alright. Oh right. You just went to the academy a while ago. Why did you return to the capital again? Do you lack cultivation resources?"


    The matter of Ye Yuan participating in the alchemist test was only decided yesterday. Ye Hang did not receive the news yet.


    "In four days'' time, a party from the academy will undergo a group test at the Alchemist Association. I''m here to take part in the alchemist test."


    "Alchemist test? Oh. You can refine Heart Inch Fissure. So taking the Alchemist Apprentice test is obviously not an issue. It''s just that the alchemist test only has three chances. Yuan-er, your experience is still too little after all. Are you confident?"


    The way Ye Hang saw it, Ye Yuan definitely failed countless times before he succeeded in refining the Heart Inch Fissure back then.


    Nobody knew him like his father. In the past, Ye Yuan basically never even touched alchemy before. How could one possibly increase the success rate of pill refinement without their technique being tempered through countless practices?


    "I trained quite a bit these past few days, so it shouldn''t be an issue." Ye Yuan smiled.


    "Then that''s good. Take these two days to adjust yourself properly to take the test in your best condition." Ye Hang encouraged him.


    Ye Yuan naturally nodded and acknowledged those words. Following which, he took the opportunity to ask,"Father, when I just came back, I asked shopkeeper Feng. Are you worrying about the Essence Gathering Pill these past few days, Father?"


    When Ye Yuan mentioned this matter, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Ye Hang''s face. But it was quickly covered up as he smiled and said, "Yuan-er, you just have to cultivate well in the academy. Don''t worry about what''s happening at home. Wan Donghai couldn''t do anything to your father after so many years. This time around, it''s obviously going to be the same."


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Father, I''m already grown up. This kind of low-level lie won''t work on me."


    Ye Hang gave an awkward look. "H-haha. Actually . . . this time around . . . it''s a little bit problematic."


    "Father, Master taught me many areas of alchemy in my dream. There is a type of medicinal pill called Explosive Yuan Pill. The medicinal effects are multiple times of the Essence Qi Pill. It should help you tide over the crisis this time," Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "Multiple times? You are talking about Tier 2 medicinal pills, right? Then it''s useless." Ye Hang shook his head. He did not think that there were any Tier 1 medicinal pills with multiple times the medicinal effects of the Essence Qi Pill.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not a Tier 2. It''s only a Tier 1 medicinal pill."


    "What? A Tier 1 medicinal pill? Multiple times? How is that possible?!" Ye Hang stared wide-eyed at him, with disbelief written all over his face.

 Chapter 55: Shocked Inwardly

    Chapter 55: Shocked Inwardly


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Modifying a matured medicinal pill formula to improve its medicinal effects was an extremely difficult thing.


    Ye Hang was already a low-rank Alchemist Grandmaster, and even he could not improve the medicinal effects of the Essence Qi Pill. It was clear at a glance just how challenging that was.


    As for creating a new Tier 1 medicinal pill with medicinal effects multiple times that of the Essence Qi Pill? That was merely a fantasy. Otherwise, how could the Drunken Star Manor''s Essence Gathering Pill possibly give Ye Hang such enormous pressure?


    And now, the fantasy really became a reality. Imagine the shock in Ye Hang''s heart.


    Ever since Ye Hang stepped onto the Alchemy Path, he had never heard of any Tier 1 medicinal pills with medicinal effects multiple times that of the Essence Qi Pill over the past few decades!


    But Ye Yuan said that this Explosive Yuan Pill actually had such a miraculous effect!


    Ye Hang was extremely conflicted right now. Reason told him that this was entirely a lie. But the person who uttered this lie was his son. So should he believe it or not?


    After sucking in a deep breath, Ye Hang gave a pained look and asked, "Yuan-er, you aren''t joking with father, right?"


    But Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Why don''t you try it to see for yourself, father?"


    Ye Hang quickly stood up and dragged Ye Yuan along. "Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go to the pill refinement room!"


    "Don''t be anxious, Father. I still have something to tell you." Ye Yuan did not move.


    "Aiya. If there''s anything, we can talk about it later. Refining the Explosive Yuan Pill is the top priority." Ye Hang already could hardly wait.


    This concerned the survival of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Even though Ye Hang looked calm on the outside, he was actually incomparably anxious on the inside.


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was the fruit of his life''s labor. No matter how sanguine about it he was, he was not willing to watch the monkeys scatter overnight when the tree falls.


    However, Ye Yuan was not anxious at all. Pulling his father back to his seat, he smiled and said, "Explosive Yuan Pill is just a minor thing. I have countless pill formulas that Master passed on to me. What I''m about to say is the crucial thing. Just be a little more patient, Father."


    Ye Hang was a little perplexed. "What could be more important than saving the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? En, En, alright, you talk, I''ll listen."


    Ye Yuan returned to his seat and said seriously, "There were many miscellaneous things that Master imparted to me in my dreams. But there are two sets of techniques I need to inform you about, Father. The first is called the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. The other is called the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation. Father, you can switch to these two cultivation laws. 1I believe that in the future, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would merely be a small sect to you."


    Listening to the names of the two cultivation techniques that Ye Yuan said shocked Ye Hang greatly. This time around, the shock that he felt was even greater than hearing about the Explosive Yuan Pill.


    "Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation? Is that a cultivation technique for cultivating soul strength?" A tremor could be heard in Ye Hang''s voice. He was apparently very agitated.


    Ye Hang did not know what the hell the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was. But he immediately connected the name Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation to a soul cultivation technique.


    It was impossible to use words to describe just how valuable soul cultivation laws were in a place like the State of Qin.


    Even if the lowest rank soul cultivation law came into being, it would set off a blood storm. It simply could not be measured using monetary terms.


    For martial artists, essence energy cultivation techniques were commonplace. It was just differentiated into whether it was good or bad. But something like soul cultivation technique was so rare that it made one''s hair stand on end!


    In comparison to essence energy, the soul was more arcane and veiled in mysteries. Wanting to create a set of soul cultivation laws was even harder than reaching the heavens!


    Since ancient times, only major powers who had reached an exceedingly high realm in terms of soul cultivation and had an incredibly profound understanding towards the soul could create a soul cultivation technique that belongs to them.


    The number of soul cultivation techniques was not even one in one hundred thousand of essence energy cultivation techniques. One could imagine the rarity of it.


    However, the preciousness of soul cultivation techniques did not lie on increasing the strength of martial artists. In fact, how powerful a soul was had a very limited impact on the strength of a martial artist.


    The prestige of soul cultivation techniques laid in that it could mass-produce alchemists! And what did alchemists mean? It meant endless medicinal pills. It meant that a sect could swiftly raise its strength!


    Just imagine, if a sect had a large number of peak level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, but these martial artists were unable to break through due to limitations of their talent; at this time, the sect''s alchemists obtained a book on soul cultivation laws, and their strength soared, enabling them to refine medicinal pills capable of allowing Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists to break through.


    Just how terrifying would something like that be?


    Alchemist was an occupation with a very low entry threshold but was extremely difficult to raise further.


    The low entry threshold was because One Star Alchemist, commonly called as Alchemy Apprentice, had very low requirements toward soul strength. One could reach it with just the soul strength of an Essence Qi Realm martial artist.


    However, there was an enormous threshold from Alchemy Apprentice to Alchemy Master. That was because for Tier 2 medicinal pills onwards, there would be a drastic increase in the soul strength required for the alchemist!


    This threshold called soul strength had blocked countless potential alchemists outside its gate.


    Every time a martial artist advanced a major cultivation realm, their soul would receive the nourishment from heaven and earth essence energy and experience a substantial growth from there. However, this sort of growth could not catch up to the increase in soul strength requirement for alchemists.


    Feng Zhirou had been a high-rank Alchemy Apprentice for a long time and also broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm long ago. Yet, she still could not become an Alchemy Master. The reason for that was insufficient soul strength.


    Now, a set of soul cultivation laws was in front of Ye Hang. How could he not be agitated?


    Ye Hang had remained a low-rank Alchemy Grandmaster for many years and was unable to break through all because his soul strength was lacking.


    With the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, it was only a matter of time for Ye Hang to step into the middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!


    Ye Yuan was right. That Explosive Yuan Pill and other matters were insignificant when compared to this Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation.


    Even if he were beaten by Wan Donghai to the point where he could not retaliate right now, with this set of Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, it would be as easy as flipping his hand to overturn the Drunken Star Manor in the future.


    "That''s right. This Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation is precisely a soul cultivation law technique." Ye Yuan gave his father an affirmative look.


    ''That''s excellent! Excellent! Excellent! With this Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, Wan Donghai is nothing! Hahaha!"


    One could tell just how excited Ye Hang was to say three ''Excellent'' consecutively.


    After his exhilaration, Ye Hang suddenly felt that something was not quite right. He asked Ye Yuan, "Yuan-er, these two cultivation laws were imparted by that expert. If in the future, he found out that you secretly leaked out his cultivation techniques by imparting them to me privately, wouldn''t that make things hard for you? I-I better not learn them. You just tell me the pill formula for the Explosive Yuan Pill, and that would do."


    Ye Hang gritted his teeth and rejected Ye Yuan''s good intentions. But anyone could see the reluctance in those eyes.


    However, Ye Yuan was shaken to his core.


    He knew clearly the temptation a soul cultivation law had among alchemists. If one placed the throne, beautiful women, and a soul cultivation technique together, an alchemist would definitely choose the soul cultivation technique!


    As an alchemist himself, Ye Yuan was all too clear on this point.


    One could say that with a soul cultivation law, fame, status, and beauties would come forth one after another. How could an alchemist be foolish enough to choose the others?


    After all, strength was the foundation for alchemists just like martial artists.


    But Ye Hang would rather forsake the opportunity to become a high-tier alchemist for his sake. How could this not shock him?


    Since reincarnating until now, every little bit that Ye Hang did for him came into his mind, heavily affecting Ye Yuan''s heart. Unknowingly, tears started to fall . . .

 Chapter 56: Pitiable Wan Yuan

    Chapter 56: Pitiable Wan Yuan


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In both his past and present life, this was the second time Ye Yuan cried.


    The first time he cried was when his father, Zhengyang Zi, was killed by that traitor while protecting him.


    Even after experiencing life and death samsara, that scene remained equally vivid in his memory.


    The pain which was engraved into his bones and heart also pushed the Ye Yuan today to cultivate diligently in hopes that one day, he could slaughter his way back to the Divine Realm and kill that traitor with his own hands.


    This was the second time Ye Yuan cried. Even though it was not during a matter of life and death, Ye Hang''s selfless fatherly love deeply touched Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had only felt this feeling from Zhenyang Zi before. Regardless of whether Ye Hang was his real father or not, that unconditional love for him was true.


    Qingyun Zi inherited and was influenced by Ye Yuan''s body. So he naturally felt close to Ye Hang.


    In addition, Ye Hang''s impression on the newly reincarnated Ye Yuan was pretty good. Ye Yuan felt guilty in his heart, so he acknowledged this father.


    But deep down inside him, Ye Yuan only treated him like somebody he was close with and did not have that kind of true father-son relationship.


    In Ye Yuan''s heart, his real father was only Zhengyang Zi. Hence, he did not impart these things to Ye Hang previously.


    But now, Ye Yuan approved Ye Hang as his father from the bottom of his heart.


    Two lifetimes and both fathers had fatherly love akin to a mountain. It thawed Ye Yuan''s heart.


    At first, when Ye Yuan took out these two sets of cultivation laws, he was actually still a little hesitant. However, if Ye Hang were ''eaten up'' by Wan Donghai, his future cultivation road would become increasingly difficult.


    With Wan Donghai''s personality, he definitely would not let the weakened Ye Hang off. Ye Yuan was currently still weak, and could not defend himself.


    Thinking over and over again, Ye Yuan finally made this decision.


    But now, Ye Yuan was wholly assured.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s tear-stricken face, Ye Hang was alarmed and quickly asked, "What''s wrong, Yuan-er? Did father say something wrong?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m fine. I was just feeling touched. I wasn''t sensible in the past and made you worry. In the future, I will definitely become your pride!"


    Hearing this, Ye Hang calmed down and was overcome with emotion. "Haha. Silly son. You even learned to become melodramatic. We are father and son. Aren''t you treating me like a stranger by saying that? However, Yuan-er, do you know what made me relieved was not because you obtained some peerless expert''s inheritance, but because you grew up and became sensible! Men should never look back, but to go forward with indomitable will until they break through this world!"


    Ye Yuan was visibly moved when he heard that speech. It was rarely seen for someone like Ye Hang in a tiny mortal country to harbor such ambition.


    Ye Yuan knew that Ye Hang''s talent was not mediocre. What he lacked were resources.


    As long as there were sufficient resources, Ye Hang''s future accomplishments definitely would not be small.


    Ye Hang was not more than 40 years old this year. He was still considered young on the road of martial arts, so the probability was still relatively huge.


    Ye Yuan gave Ye Hang a bow and said, "This child has learned well. However, Father still has to learn these two sets of cultivation laws. There''s nothing wrong with it. When that expert imparted these things to me, he didn''t say anything about not allowing me to pass it on. So clearly, he left it up to me to decide. Furthermore, I''m not imparting it recklessly. You are my closest kin. I believe that he wouldn''t say much if I pass it on to you."


    "This . . . is this really alright?" Ye Hang was still a little hesitant.


    "Just think, Father. Would a peerless figure like that possibly make such a low-level mistake? If he didn''t allow me to spread these things, then he would definitely have warned me severely. But he didn''t even mention anything, so he should have left it to my discretion. If he really wanted to find somebody to pass his mantle onto, he most likely wouldn''t cripple me just because of this? At most, I will inform him of this the next time he comes to look for me. If he feels that it''s inappropriate, then let us father and son shoulder it together!"


    Ye Yuan said all that with a heroic spirit that soared, dispelling Ye Hang''s misgivings.


    "Fine. We, father and son, will shoulder it together!" Ye Yuan also said valiantly.


    Although he said this verbally, Ye Hang actually thought otherwise.


    If that expert really comes to look for trouble for Yuan-er, then I will just cripple my martial arts as an apology! I can''t allow Yuan-er to shoulder this matter.


    Of course, Ye Hang was not aware that the so-called expert did not even exist . . .


    . . . . . .


    The following days, both Ye Yuan and Ye Hang were in a closed-door seclusion and did not leave.


    Ye Hang spent all of his time on comprehending the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, while Ye Yuan was consolidating his cultivation realm.


    Before entering a closed-door seclusion, Ye Hang instructed for the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to continue operating as per usual. Regardless of what the Drunken Star Manor did, they were not to do anything rash. Everything will wait until he exited his closed-door seclusion.


    Now that he had the Explosive Yuan Pill, he was not in a hurry to make his move. He would first let Wan Donghai toss and turn around for a while, and then beat him to death with a single blow!


    With the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s foundation, it was impossible to take down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in a short period of time even if Wan Donghai had those Essence Gathering Pills.


    Ye Hang wanted to make use of this time to swiftly raise his strength!


    In this world where the strong feasts on the weak, strength was the absolute truth.


    Ye Hang knew that the Explosive Yuan Pill''s medicinal effects were multiple times of the Essence Qi Pill. But once it was exposed, the impact would not just be multiple times!


    Without sufficient strength, this Explosive Yuan Pill would instead become the root of a calamity!


    Ye Hang initially placed all of his attention on the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation and lacked interest in the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. However, he only knew the terrifying might of this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art after cultivating it.


    In only three days'' time, his cultivation realm that was stuck for a long time started to loosen. This was also the result of him cultivating the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation at the same time.


    Borrowing the power of medicinal pills, Ye Hang burst through the hurdle in one move, rising one minor cultivation realm.


    Above the Spirit Condensation Realm was the Crystal Formation Realm. In the Crystal Formation Realm, the difficulty of trying to break through a minor realm did not fall below that of training from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Some people might not even be able to break through a minor realm in five years or maybe even ten years! The difficulty could not even be imagined.


    But Ye Hang discovered that ever since he cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, the essence energy in his Dantian became much thicker. His crystallized essence energy seemed to show signs of liquefying and recondensing!


    As for the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, that was the soul incantation which Ye Yuan cultivated in his previous life. The pricelessness of it was naturally without any question.


    Similarly, within three days, Ye Hang''s soul strength broke through, and he successfully broke through to become a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster.


    However, Ye Hang still did not have any intention of exiting his closed-door seclusion. He wanted to continue and concentrate entirely on the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Only then could he raise his strength.


    That was because Ye Hang was not certain what kind of a stir the Explosive Yuan Pill would cause once it surfaced.


    . . . . . .


    After four days, it was finally the day of the test. Ye Yuan exited seclusion and then headed to the Alchemist Association to gather with everyone.


    When Ye Yuan arrived, the great hall of the Alchemist Association was completely fully packed.


    He had not seen most of the people before, but he recognized a few of them, such as Feng Ruoqing, and her niece, as well as . . . Wan Yuan.


    Wan Yuan indeed came from a family with profound teachings. He was already a middle-rank Alchemy Apprentice long ago. This time around, he should be here to participate in the high-rank Alchemy Apprentice test.


    Furthermore, it was said that Wan Yuan''s soul strength was rather robust. It would not be an issue for him to become an Alchemy Master in the future. And because of that, Wan Yuan received a great deal of attention in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Currently, Wan Yuan was talking to Feng Zhirou about something, while Feng Zhirou was as cold as ice and gave him the cold shoulder.


    Wan Yuan did not feel disgruntled by Feng Zhirou''s action, but instead, had a smile on his face.


    However, at this time, Feng Zhirou caught sight of Ye Yuan and suddenly showed an overjoyed expression. She shook off Wan Yuan and rushed over to Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, why did you only arrive now? My aunt and I waited so long for you. We thought you were scared that you couldn''t pass and decided to not come!" Feng Zhirou said intimately.


    Ye Yuan knew that Feng Zhirou was doing this to shake off Wan Yuan and could not help looking over at Wan Yuan. As expected, he saw that face which turned the color of a pig''s liver, along with a stare which could kill.

 Chapter 57: Small Talk

    Chapter 57: Small Talk


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan felt speechless as he saw a crafty look flashed across Feng Zhirou''s eyes.


    This lass definitely knew about the horrible relationship between Wan Yuan and me, so she purposely shook aside Wan Yuan to greet me.


    This was drawing agro to Ye Yuan. But he and Wan Yuan were already at the stage where one of them had to die, so a little more did not matter.


    Ye Yuan had a headache. Why was Feng Zhirou''s personality completely different from the sayings? To think that he even used her last time to annoy Liu Ruoshui.


    "What''s the point of coming so early? It hasn''t even begun yet. No need to make a huge fuss over it. It''s just a test." Ye Yuan grumbled.


    "Humph! I already heard all about you from Aunt. All the way until now, it''s just empty talk. Who knows where you saw a bunch of crap from some records or books, to actually coax my aunt like this." Feng Zhirou snorted.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to explain to her, and he directly walked past her to greet Feng Ruoqing.


    This scene when reflected in Wan Yuan''s eyes looked more like flirting between couples, making him gnash his teeth in hatred.


    Although he liked Liu Ruoshui, Feng Zhirou greatly outclassed her. If he could win the heart of this beauty, would that little Liu Ruoshui even matter?


    Feng Zhirou was the goddess of the male students, and that naturally included Wan Yuan as well. It was just that Feng Zhirou''s status and his was too far apart in the past. So there was no opportunity to make contact with her.


    Presently, Wan Yuan was an Earth Rank student. Moreover, he was a middle-rank Alchemy Apprentice. He had full confidence in passing the high-rank Alchemy Apprentice test this time.


    Wan Yuan believed that before long, he could stand on the same starting line as Feng Zhirou.


    With adequate strength, Wan Yuan naturally started having other thoughts.


    Wan Yuan did not expect to meet Feng Zhirou during this alchemist test. So he thickened his face and introduced his background. But Feng Zhirou did not even react to it.


    Within the State of Qin, a middle-rank Alchemy Master was absolutely a figure that everyone wanted to curry favor with. If that was not the case, why would Liu Ruoshui walk so closely with Wan Yuan?


    However, this title did not seem to be very useful with Feng Zhirou. It was like she had never even heard of the name Wan Donghai.


    Wan Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he felt relieved after thinking for a moment. The future accomplishments of the top three figures on the Martial Roll of Honor would definitely not be beneath his father''s. Being a little proud was normal.


    However, once these thoughts started to stir, it could no longer be suppressed.


    When chasing girls, the harder it was, the more it would arouse the fighting spirit of men.


    Except that Wan Yuan did not expect to see Ye Yuan here. Furthermore, Ye Yuan actually looked like he was on pretty good terms with Feng Zhirou. Besides, there were those vague rumors about Feng Ruoqing and Ye Yuan, making Wan Yuan''s heart ablaze with the flames of jealousy.


    Who was Ye Yuan to even have such deep connections with the two great goddesses of the Dan Wu Academy?


    Although Ye Yuan recently rose up fiercely and even made Wan Yuan feel threatened, his scorn for Ye Yuan was deeply ingrained. He instinctively felt that Ye Yuan was not worthy to have all these.


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes lit up when she saw Ye Yuan and pulled him aside to talk to him quietly.


    "I''ve pretty much mastered the left hand drawing a circle and right hand drawing a square training that you asked me to do. I didn''t think that it would be quite beneficial for the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique!"


    Feng Ruoqing was always calm and collected, but she was quite agitated right now. If not for the fact that this was not a suitable place, she even wanted to let out a cry of relief.


    The truth was, she already had practiced this Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique for a long time. But no matter how much she trained, she could not find a way to learn it.


    Now, after training for a few days according to Ye Yuan''s method, her Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique unexpectedly improved by leaps and bounds.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Feng Ruoqing and then said indignantly, "Didn''t you say it was useless back then? Why did you pick it up again?"


    Feng Ruoqing''s excitement was abruptly cut, and she gave an embarrassed look. At the same time, she cursed endlessly in her heart, why did this punk not have the slightest bit of tenderness towards women? He actually embarrassed me right in front of my face!


    "You didn''t say anything back then. How would I know whether it''s useful or not? You should have at least explained to me why I had to do it!" Feng Ruoqing was somewhat aggrieved.


    Looking at Feng Ruoqing''s pitiful appearance, Ye Yuan did not feel it was nice to deride her anymore. "The essence of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique is dual-tasking. When you are using the technique, your essence energy was chaotic, and your two hands were not able to coordinate. It would be weirder for you to succeed! I asked you to train drawing so that you could learn how to dual-task. But this is just the initial step. You still need bitter hard work if you want your two hands to control essence energy to the point of Yin Yang harmony."


    Feng Ruoqing gave a look of sudden realization. "So that''s the case. No wonder I couldn''t improve no matter how much I trained!"


    In all matters, the beginning was the hardest. Although Ye Yuan said that Feng Ruoqing had just taken the initial step, as long as that step was taken, the path in the future would be much smoother.


    As an alchemist, Feng Ruoqing''s talent was not bad. What was missing was outlook and experience.


    "Alright. I don''t need you to pay any tuition fees. But don''t look for me to be an assistant in the future. I''m very busy." Ye Yuan waved his hands.


    Hearing this, Feng Ruoqing felt another wave of bitterness. Other people could not wait to become her assistant, but Ye Yuan avoided her like the plague. Was she really not that attractive?


    Women were mysterious creatures. Sometimes, the more you chased her, the more she found you irritating. But after you maintained a distance away from her, she would feel a sense of loss.


    These two people whispering to each other naturally drew a lot of attention.


    Even though nobody knew what they were talking about, Feng Ruoqing looked like a little wife getting scolded.


    The crowd could not help but wonder if there really was something going on between the two of them.


    At this time, several red-robed old men walked into the hall from the side door. Two of the old men even brought along a young lady each with them.


    Feng Ruoqing was the instructor leading the group for this test. She was swapped in at the last minute.


    This was obviously the time for her to step out.


    "Haha. Are you well, Miss Feng? You haven''t been to our association for some time. I''m afraid you are probably absorbed in researching alchemy again, are you? If you carry on like this, us old men are going to feel ashamed!"


    An old man at the front seemed to be old acquaintances with Feng Ruoqing and started a small talk right away.


    At this moment, Feng Ruoqing recovered her demeanor as the beautiful, otherworldly instructor. She smiled lightly as she greeted the group of old men, "Chairman Wang, Chairman Sun, and elders. How do you do? Chairman Wang is pulling my leg, the last time I was here was half a year ago. How was that long? With Ruoqing''s measly cultivation, how would I dare to make Chairman Wang feel ashamed? You are the leading authority in the alchemist world in the State of Qin!"


    "Haha. Miss Feng really knows how to talk. But I, Old Wang, am not joking around. The way I see it, the State of Qin would probably have another Alchemy Master in less than three years." Chairman Wang did not seem to be faking it and was actually full of praise for Feng Ruoqing.


    Feng Ruoqing smiled faintly and said, "Chairman Wang is too kind. Ruoqing is not worthy."


    Chairman Wang laughed loudly. "You are worthy! Worthy! Yii? Isn''t this Honorable Nephew Wan Yuan? I didn''t think that you would also come to take part in the test this time. Taking the high-rank Alchemy Apprentice test?"


    Instantly, all eyes turned to Wan Yuan. Clearly, they did not expect Wan Yuan to know the deputy chairman of the Alchemist Association.


    Wan Yuan looked gloatingly at Ye Yuan and went up to greet them. He then said, "Have you been well, Chairman Wang? This Little Nephew is here to take part in the high-rank Alchemy Apprentice test."

 Chapter 58: Can I Stand on the Right?

    Chapter 58: Can I Stand on the Right?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Good. Good. Honorable Nephew really has profound family teachings to already have the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Apprentice at such a young age. Old Brother Wan has a worthy successor! Each new generation really excels the old one. I''m really old already."


    Chairman Wang ridiculed himself slightly.


    "Chairman Wang is still in your prime. Why would you say that you are old? All the elders here are our State of Qin''s alchemists, people who are supporting the cauldron. Chairman Wang and Chairman Sun are even the leading figures. We juniors still have a long way to go." Wan Yuan''s flattering was so resounding that he threw everyone in.


    "Haha. I''m old, old already. Can''t compare to back then. Miss Feng, Old Sun and I brought along two juniors today. Do you mind us cutting your queue here?" Chairman Wang turned to Feng Ruoqing.


    Feng Ruoqing nodded slightly and said, "To let them witness your two accomplished disciples'' power and know that there is always someone better is undoubtedly a good thing."


    "Don''t say that! This is my last disciple, Xu Feng-er. The one beside Old Sun is my granddaughter and also his proud successor, Sun Keyun. These two juniors are good-for-nothings, so don''t laugh later, Miss Feng. The two of you, why haven''t you come to greet Teacher Feng? She''s only a few years older than you, but she is already a middle-rank Alchemy Master. You two have to learn more from her."


    Even though Chairman Wang belittled the two young ladies, he could not hide the satisfaction in his eyes.


    It looked like were it not for these two young ladies, with Chairman Wang''s and Chairman Sun''s status as Alchemy Grandmasters, they would not have personally came to host the test.


    "Feng-er (Keyun) has seen Teacher Feng." The two ladies gave Feng Ruoqing a bow, their eyes filled with worship.


    To become a middle-rank Alchemy Master at this age was absolutely a target worth prostrating to for all young people.


    Ye Yuan silently sized up these two lasses. Their soul strength was indeed mighty. It looked like it should not be an issue for them to become Alchemy Masters after stepping into the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    "Alright. Everyone is an outstanding student of the Dan Wu Academy. Some of you have already participated in this test several times before so I won''t go through the rules too much. The first test that takes place will be the Alchemy Apprentice test, followed by the Alchemy Master test. Each group will have five people entering the refinement room. Now, those participating in the Alchemy Apprentice test stand on the left. Those taking the Alchemy Master test stand on the right." Chairman Wang organized them into groups.


    There were only twenty people from the Dan Wu Academy participating in the test this time. Including Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun, there were only twenty-two people. The majority of them came to participate in the Alchemy Apprentice test, and only two of them are taking the Alchemy Master test. One of them was Feng Zhirou, while the other was one rank below Feng Zhirou on the Alchemy Roll of Honor, Cao Yu.


    After Chairman Wang said this, a large group moved to the left, while Feng Zhirou and Cao Yu stood to the right; leaving Ye Yuan standing in his original position and not moving.


    Seeing this, Chairman Wang frowned and was slightly displeased. "This Young Friend, didn''t you hear what I said?"


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan in amazement, while Wan Yuan had a gloating face. This punk was indeed still an eccentric. Was it not courting death to behave like that in front of a top figure like Chairman Wang?


    Seeing that Ye Yuan still did not move, Feng Ruoqing became anxious and called out, "What are you still standing there for, Ye Yuan? Quickly move to the left!"


    "Uh . . . Actually, I want to ask if I can stand on the right side," Ye Yuan said a little helplessly.


    He did not want to be unconventional, but since he promised Feng Ruoqing to go all out, Ye Yuan did not plan on concealing his strength.


    When he promised Feng Ruoqing, Ye Yuan thought about it a little.


    In the future, with the increase in strength, he would not be able to avoid this hurdle called Alchemist Association. If his Alchemy Dao was extraordinarily strong, but he did not take part in the alchemist tests all the way, then he would genuinely be a maverick.


    If at that time, it spreads to the ears of that traitor or the Alchemist Association''s Headquarters, then it would not be fun. It would be very easy to arouse their suspicion.


    "Hahaha . . ." There was an uproar of laughter.


    "A Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm wants to participate in the Alchemy Master test? Are you joking or are you making fun of both Chairman Wang and Chairman Sun?" Wan Yuan berated out loud, but he actually had the sinister intentions of making the two chairmen get a terrible impression of Ye Yuan.


    As expected, when the two of then heard what Wan Yuan said, their faces turned ugly.


    "This Young Friend, didn''t you hear clearly? The right side is for those taking the Alchemy Master test!" Chairman Wang''s face fell, and his words became less courteous. It was clear that he was unhappy.


    "Ye Yuan! Why haven''t you apologized to the two chairmen? This is the Alchemist Association! You can''t act wildly here!" Feng Ruoqing repeatedly signaled with her eyes at Ye Yuan worriedly. Offending the two big heads of the Alchemist Association at the same time was no laughing matter.


    The Alchemist Association had always been an aloof existence. Even the Imperial family could not command them. Nobody had dared to make fun of the Alchemist Association''s chairmen before.


    But now, Ye Yuan set a new precedent! Of course, this was how the others saw it.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to see it like that. Instead, he smiled and then said to Chairman Wang, "This Junior has heard clearly, and I want to stand on the right side. I want to participate in the Alchemy Master test."


    "You, a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, wants to join the Alchemy Master test?" Chairman Wang indeed became angry.


    "That''s right." Ye Yuan remained fearless.


    "Whose family''s brat are you?! To actually be so impertinent! Did you come here today to beguile us elders?!" Chairman Wang was already on the edge of exploding. If it was not for the sake of Feng Ruoqing''s face, he would have thrown Ye Yuan out long ago.


    At this time, Wan Yuan came forward very naturally to follow up. "Please calm down, Chairman Wang. This person has always been arrogant, and he never respects his elders. But speaking of his family, I believe Chairman Wang also knows his father."


    "Oh? Do say, Honorable Nephew. Who is his father?" Chairman Wang asked curiously.


    "His father is Ye Hang, the owner of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion," Wan Yuan replied respectfully.


    Hearing that, Chairman Wang frowned and said, "He is actually Old Brother Ye''s son? Old Brother Ye is a tiger father, how could he possibly beget such a shallow and frivolous son?"


    Ye Yuan was around the same age as Wan Yuan but was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Clearly, he was someone who made no effort to seek progress.


    If he was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, then forget it. But he actually did not know what was good for him and wanted to participate in the Alchemy Master test. Did he think that Alchemy Masters were like cabbages?


    He had gradually advanced along the Alchemy Path for so many years now, but he had never heard of any Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm becoming an Alchemy Master, let alone a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    God knew how many Spirit Condensation Realms were stopped outside the gate of Alchemy Master, yet a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm shamelessly boasted that he wanted to participate in the Alchemy Master test. If this was not causing trouble on purpose, then what was?


    "I''m not bored enough to be here and entertain you. I just feel that taking the test one rank at a time wastes too much time, so it''s better to just take the Alchemy Master test directly." Ye Yuan''s words shocked everyone greatly.


    "Humph! Taking into account that you are Ye Hang''s son, I will overlook this sin of disrespect, but I think you can forget about this test. Miss Feng, it''s not that this old man isn''t giving you any face, but this brat is too mischievous. Men, throw this person out for me!" Chairman Wang finally lost his temper.


    Wan Yuan was bursting with joy right now and thought to himself that the evil that people brought on themselves were the hardest to bear.


    "Hold on!" at that moment, Feng Ruoqing finally called out to stop this.

 Chapter 59: Test Starts!

    Chapter 59: Test Starts!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Hold on!" Feng Ruoqing went forward without any hesitation.


    Feng Ruoqing''s action sparked a wave of murmuring among the students. It seemed like the relationship between these two was becoming more apparent.


    "Please calm down, Chairman. May I speak with him?" Even though Feng Ruoqing was an instructor in the Dan Wu Academy, her qualifications were still somewhat lacking in the Alchemist Association''s territory.


    Chairman Wang pondered for a moment before nodding his head.


    Feng Ruoqing looked at Ye Yuan with complicated eyes, trying to see if whether he really had a plan or he was messing around. But after staring for a long time, she could not see anything.


    "Let me ask you, Ye Yuan. Is our agreement earlier still valid?" Feng Ruoqing asked in a low voice.


    It was just that this question seemed a little ambiguous, so apart from Feng Zhirou who knew the details, everyone''s imaginations ran wild.


    Ye Yuan replied somewhat helplessly, "If it wasn''t for keeping our agreement, do you think that I enjoy being looked on by them like I''m a freak?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan say this, Feng Ruoqing''s state of mind somehow became relaxed.


    Other people did not know Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao prowess, but Feng Ruoqing was very clear on it.


    To be able to casually instruct her, a middle-rank Alchemy Master, what Ye Yuan was lacking was most likely just cultivation realm.


    Feng Ruoqing had the feeling that what she saw was only a tip of the iceberg of Ye Yuan''s abilities.


    Just what kind of a freak was this fellow? He was only fifteen years old!


    "You mean . . . you are confident?"


    Even though she had confidence in Ye Yuan, what Ye Yuan was about to do was too subversive of common sense. So she had to confirm again.


    "Uh. That I''m not too sure," Ye Yuan replied very irresponsibly.


    Seeing that Feng Ruoqing was about to storm off, Ye Yuan immediately followed up and said, "Will simply refining any kind of Tier 2 medicinal pill work?"


    "That''s right. As long can you can refine any kind of Tier 2 medicinal pill within four hours, it counts as passing the low-rank Alchemy Master test!"


    "I see. If that''s the case, then it shouldn''t be an issue," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly as if refining a Tier 2 medicinal pill was as simple as drinking water and eating rice.


    "Since that''s the case, I hope you don''t disappoint me!"


    After Feng Ruoqing finished, she pulled out a bottle of medicinal pills from inside her sleeves, and then said to Chairman Wang, "Chairman, I have three Soul Nourishing Pills that I will place here as collateral for Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan is really here to cause trouble, then these three Soul Nourishing Pills will be an apology to the association."


    When these words were said, shock could be seen on everyone''s faces.


    The Soul Nourishing Pill was a genuine Tier 3 medicinal pill. Furthermore, it was a highly sought and precious Tier 3 medicinal pill!


    That was because the effects of the Soul Nourishing Pill was to strengthen a martial artist''s divine soul. It was able to make a martial artist''s soul more powerful!


    This type of medicinal pill was something that alchemists dreamed about.


    Chairman Wang was also astonished. He did not expect Feng Ruoqing to pull out such a precious item for Ye Yuan.


    As one of the major heads of the Alchemist Association, he knew Feng Ruoqing''s true identity. That was why he was so courteous to her.


    If someone else were leading the team today, then with his status, he would not be bothered to talk so much crap with them.


    "Miss Feng really wants to take out such a precious item for an ignorant brat?" Chairman Wang asked disbelievingly.


    "Ruoqing knows that Ye Yuan''s actions are unconventional, but I believe that he has the ability! Just because we have never seen something before, that doesn''t mean that it doesn''t exist. Things that we can''t do doesn''t mean that others can''t do it as well!" Feng Ruoqing said firmly.


    "Fine. Since Miss Feng insists on it, then this old man won''t be the bad guy today. But Miss Feng needs to know that I only agreed for your sake. If it were another person, I wouldn''t accompany her to mess around even if she took out this Soul Nourishing Pill," Chairman Wang said seriously.


    "Thank you, Chairman Wang!" Feng Ruoqing bowed slightly to express thanks.


    She knew that Chairman Wang was not lying. Even though the Soul Nourishing Pill was precious, this kind of medicinal pills was not overly scarce with the Alchemist Association''s might.


    The main reason why he agreed was still taking into account that she was the Head Imperial Princess.


    "Since Miss Feng is so insistent, then Ye Yuan, stand on the right. But this old man will say some nasty words first. If you are really making fun of old me, I can forsake these pills, but you will pay for this! Otherwise, if this matter spreads, people will think that my Alchemist Association has become a place for children to mess around!"


    Chairman Wang''s did not speak quickly, but each word was loud and clear. It was evident that he made up his mind to give Ye Yuan a good one.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and went to stand beside Feng Zhirou.


    "Hey! Did you make a mistake? Don''t harm my aunt! How can you, a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, possibly refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill?" Feng Zhirou said indignantly.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Feng Zhirou and then retracted his eyes. He said indifferently, "You better take care of yourself. I think you are going to fail this time. Why is the academy''s Alchemy Roll of Honor so weak?"


    "You!" Feng Zhirou did not expect Ye Yuan to rebuke her and was so infuriated that she was speechless.


    On the other side, Wan Yuan gnashed his teeth as he looked at Ye Yuan hatefully.


    Why? Why did Teacher Feng take out such a valuable thing for him? Just what capabilities does he, Ye Yuan, have? Just wait and see. Right now, you are unbelievably arrogant. In a while, I will see just how you intend to wind up. Wan Yuan was yelling in his heart.


    . . . . . .


    Individual pill refinement rooms were used for this test. There were a total of ten pill refinement rooms. Five refinement rooms in a row at the east side, and another five at the west side. At the center was a great hall, and at the north of the hall was a light screen. The examiner could see everything happening in the refinement room through this light screen. At the south of the hall was a herbal warehouse.


    Alchemy involved many things such as controlling fire, medicinal theory, array formations, and etc. But in the end, it was all for refining the medicinal pill.


    No matter how strong in one aspect a person was, if they could not refine out a medicinal pill, then it was useless. There would not be any recognition.


    Hence, the Alchemist Association''s tests had always taken a completed medicinal pill''s grade as the benchmark.


    Whatever pill one could refine meant that they belonged to that alchemist rank. This was the most straightforward way, as well as the most persuasive.


    Four hours were neither too long nor too short. It required the success rate of refining a medicinal pill to not be too low. This also reduced the likelihood of the alchemist being lucky.


    In this place, everything was decided by strength!


    "The test officially begins now. Examinees can start choosing the herbs. The first two groups of students, make your way into the herbal warehouse."


    The host of the test changed to a middle-aged Alchemy Master. Under his instructions, the first two groups of students went into the herbal warehouse to choose their herbs.


    Selection of herbs being included in the four hours was actually also a form of test for the students.


    It was a basic skill for an alchemist to find the required herbs in the shortest amount of time, in order to save time for the preparation of the herbs and refinement process later.


    As a matter of fact, one could tell the strength of the students from this herbs selection stage.


    The faster and more accurate a person was when choosing the herbs meant that they had a more skillful understanding of medicinal theory. It also meant that they had a better grasp on the attributes of the various herbs when refining. The success rate of refinement would naturally also rise significantly.


    Feng Ruoqing''s gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan, and she thought to herself that with Ye Yuan''s extreme understanding towards herbs, he only needed to spend a short while inside the herbal warehouse.


    When she was refining the Qi Returning Pill, he could actually use his hands to flawlessly grab and prepare various herbs. It was truly heaven-defying!


    He was clearly only fifteen years old. Even if he started training alchemy in his mother''s womb, how was it possible to reach such a level?


    Thinking up to this point, Feng Ruoqing gained a little more confidence in Ye Yuan.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan could really create a miracle?

 Chapter 60: Your Level Is Too Low

    Chapter 60: Your Level Is Too Low


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In the first two group, the main focus was naturally Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun.


    Reality had proven that these two people truly could best the Dan Wu Academy''s students.


    When the two of them walked out of the herbal warehouse, everyone else was still looking for herbs.


    As for Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun, the two of them were pretty much neck-to-neck and exited the herbal warehouse together.


    Watching Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun standing out like cranes among chickens, both Elder Wang and Elder Sun felt a pleasant warmth on their faces. Especially Elder Wang who was vexed by Ye Yuan earlier. Right now, he felt his mood turn for the better.


    Elder Wang was named Wang Jinfu, and Elder Sun was Sun Jianming. The two of them were veterans in the Alchemist Association and also highly respected Alchemy Grandmasters who were second to none in the State of Qin.


    Both of them were the Alchemist Association'' deputy chairmen, but they were secretly competing by bringing their disciples to take part in this test this time around.


    "Oh Old Sun. I didn''t think that Keyun this lass would improve so quickly. I''m afraid you expended no little effort on her!" Wang Jinfu said as he stroked his beard.


    "Haha. Your family''s Feng-er isn''t bad either. I remember that you only took her in as your last disciple the previous year. I didn''t think that she was going to become a high-rank Alchemy Apprentice this quickly."


    "That''s right. Feng-er this lass is quite intelligent. Just a little bit, and she would understand. She is a good seedling. During this herb selection stage, it counts as a draw between the two of them. But this is just the appetizer. The key point is still the refinement."


    Sun Jianming nodded in approval.


    It was apparent that between these two old men, Wang Jianfu was more talkative, while Sun Jianming was taciturn.


    After Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun entered the refinement room, they immediately started preparing the herbs.


    During the preparation stage, their actions were very swift and proficient. One could see that the two of them were frequently assisting the two old fogeys outside.


    However, these basic skills were normally not visible. The effects would only show itself when it really came down to it.


    Aside from some students who had greater emphasis placed on them, the Dan Wu Academy''s students rarely had the opportunity to do miscellaneous tasks for the instructors. Thus, they obviously could not be compared to how fast Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun were.


    Furthermore, Wang Jianfu and Sun Jianming were Alchemy Grandmasters. With them teaching step-by-step along the way, it would be impossible for these two girls not to stand above the rest.


    The Dan Wu Academy students were worse off once again during this segment.


    What amazed everyone was that the two of them progressed in a synchronized manner without any clear distinction between them. It was like Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun discussed it beforehand.


    From selecting the herbs to finishing the preparation of the herbs, these two girls took around an hour. One could see just how solid their fundamental skills were.


    Each student had three chances in the Alchemist Association''s test. So everyone would prepare three sets of herbs.


    Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun finished preparing their herbs and started on their first refinement.


    In the hall, Feng Zhirou watched the light screen in utter boredom. She was already a high-rank Alchemy Apprentice since long ago, so she obviously lacked interest in watching this kind of matches again.


    "Hey, Ye Yuan. Who do you think will win between those two girls?" Feng Zhirou moved over to Ye Yuan''s side and started talking with voice transmission.


    In this hall, no matter how quiet she was, those two old men would definitely hear it with their strength.


    "Sun Keyun," Ye Yuan similarly replied using voice transmission without even thinking about it.


    "Eh? You already knew it? Why?" Feng Zhirou was surprised.


    Feng Zhirou did not doubt Ye Yuan''s words. She knew that Ye Yuan was really amazing. Feng Ruoqing''s eyes were always at the top of her head. A youth that was so highly regarded by her aunt was absolutely no ordinary man.


    It was just that no matter how amazing she felt Ye Yuan was, she did not think that he could pass through the Alchemy Master test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    "Because Chairman Sun is a notch above," Ye Yuan replied nonchalantly.


    "Chairman Sun? What has it got to do with Chairman Sun?" Feng Zhirou was confused by Ye Yuan.


    "Chairman Sun is a man of few words and is more infatuated with Alchemy Dao. His abilities should be a notch above Chairman Wang''s. Chairman Sun is pragmatic, so he is logically more strict when teaching apprentices. Sun Keyun inherited her predecessor''s style, so she is obviously a cut above."


    "No way. Just because of this?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Feng Zhirou. "When they were choosing the herbs, the two of them seemed to be on par. But Sun Keyun was actually slightly faster than Xu Feng-er."


    Feng Zhirou was dumbfounded. "How did you tell?"


    "Xu Feng-er is refining the Fierce Tiger Pill, while Sun Keyun is refining the Profound Clarity Pill. The Profound Clarity Pill has one more secondary ingredient than the Fierce Tiger Pill, but the two of them finished at the same time. The winner and the loser are clear at a glance."


    Ye Yuan''s words left Feng Zhirou wide-mouthed for a moment. "Y-you aren''t talking rubbish, are you? You can tell what kind of pill they are refining just from the light screen?


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. "Won''t you know whether I''m talking rubbish or not after they finish refining?"


    "Fine then. I want to see if you are the real thing! If I find out that you were talking crap, no need for Chairman Wang to take action. I will throw you out first!" Feng Zhirou threatened him.


    "Whatever!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    "Tch. Talked until it sounds so incredible. The final result of the test still lies on the refined medicinal pill. Even if they really refined the Fierce Tiger Pill and the Profound Clarity Pill, it still wouldn''t be easy to determine the winner between these two pills, right?" After a short while, Feng Zhirou found it boring and transmitted her voice over again.


    "No, the winner has already been decided."


    "Acting! Carry on acting! I don''t believe that you can tell which one of them won from the light screen! Both of their herbs are only half-way refined and haven''t condensed into a pill yet!" Feng Zhirou was triggered by Ye Yuan''s posturing attitude and felt even more strongly that Ye Yuan was talking nonsense.


    "Sun Keyun''s refinement went smoothly. Without any accident, it should be a high-grade medicinal pill. But Xu Feng-er made a small mistake at the start of the refinement, Even though she corrected it right away, it definitely affected the quality of the Fierce Tiger Pill. At best, it can barely reach the high-grade standard. If later on she made another mistake, it wouldn''t be surprising for it to become a middle-grade medicinal pill." Ye Yuan continued to analyze calmly.


    "Did Xu Feng-er make a mistake? Why didn''t I see it?"


    "Your level is too low, so you can''t see it."


    "Ye Yuan! You!" If not for the fact that this was not the right place, Feng Zhirou would definitely stab him with her sword again.


    . . . . . .


    Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun finished refining virtually at the same time. Furthermore, they succeeded with one try and only used an hour.


    Among these two groups of students, they thoroughly deserved to be kings. It was already without any doubt that they passed the high-rank Alchemy Apprentice test.


    What was left was seeing the quality of the medicinal pill that the two of them refined to determine who was better.


    The two of them carried the medicinal pill that they refined and walked to the hall. Bowing towards the two old men, they said respectfully, "Master (Grandfather), please inspect."


    But Wang Jinfu laughed and turned to Feng Ruoqing instead. "It naturally isn''t nice for us to talk about our family. Can Miss Feng come and help us judge?"


    Feng Ruoqing smiled lightly and said, "It''s better to accept than to stand on ceremony."


    Feng Ruoqing took the medicinal pill on Xu Feng-er''s tray and inspected closely. "A high-grade Tier 1 medicinal pill, the Fierce Tiger pill. It was completed outstandingly and has reached the standard of high-grade."


    Finishing, Feng Ruoqing did the same with Sun Keyun''s medicinal pill, and said, "A high-grade Tier 1 medicinal pill, the Profound Clarity Pill. Similarly finished splendidly. The grade of the medicinal pill has also reached the standard of high-grade."


    At a corner, Feng Zhirou''s jaw dropped and looked at Ye Yuan as if she saw a ghost . . .

 Chapter 61: Opponent?

    Chapter 61: Opponent?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Along with Feng Ruoqing''s mellow voice, the shock in Feng Zhirou''s heart grew greater.


    What Ye Yuan said earlier was no different from what Feng Ruoqing said!


    One had to know that the light curtain only showed the herbal warehouse, and those herbs could only be vaguely seen. Some of them could not even be made out. At least, Feng Zhirou was unable to make it out.


    But Ye Yuan actually guessed the medicinal pills the two girls were going to refine just by looking at the light curtain!


    Just how did he do it?


    "Haha. Don''t be afraid of offending us two old crocks, Miss Feng. If there''s anything, just say it. Our tolerance isn''t small to that extent. Since I''m competing with Old Man Sun, there obviously needs to be a winner. In the end, there has to be a difference in quality between the medicinal pills refined by Feng-er and Keyun. Miss Feng doesn''t need to have any misgivings; just say it."


    Wang Jinfu knew that Feng Ruoqing did not want to offend both sides, which was why she said it as if the two girls fought to a draw.


    But in reality, no matter how similar two people''s Alchemy Dao prowess were, in the end, it was impossible for medicinal pills refined to be identical. That was because there were too many elements that could affect the finished product.


    Feng Ruoqing gave a faint smile, before saying, "Then Chairman Wang and Chairman Sun mustn''t blame this little girl, alright?"


    "Don''t say that! Since you were invited to be the judge, it wouldn''t be reasonable to blame you."


    Sun Jianming who had been keeping mum also voiced out.


    "In reality, both Miss Feng-er and Miss Keyun are very outstanding. The two people''s abilities are also on par. It''s just that during Miss Feng-er''s refinement process, there was a slight flaw, resulting in the medicinal pill to be slightly inferior in quality. I can see that this Fierce Tiger Pill''s color is slightly dull. This should have been a result of a small error during the first step when tempering with fire." Feng Ruoqing''s words were on point.


    "Hahaha . . ." Wang Jinfu laughed heartily, but there was no unexpected color change on his face. "To think that the disciple you, Old Man Sun groomed is so incredible. It looks like you have a qualified successor! Feng-er, learn from this mistake. In the future, you have to be more diligent. Don''t become arrogant just because you are my apprentice, understood?"


    "Feng-er understands," Xu Feng-er replied dispiritedly.


    "Alright. It''s almost time. Let the next batch begin," Wang Jinfu commanded.


    There was naturally someone to judge the medicinal pills refined by the others. Elder Wang and Elder Sun obviously would not stoop to do these sort of things with their exalted status.


    In this batch of people, the main focus had to be Wan Yuan.


    One had to say that Wan Yuan had the capital to be arrogant in terms of Alchemy Dao.


    He was only a few months older than Ye Yuan, but he had already possessed the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Apprentice. He could absolutely wander proudly within the same age group. His future accomplishments would most likely not be beneath his father''s.


    Humph. Feng Ruoqing, Feng Zhirou, I''m going to let you see what a true Alchemy Dao genius is! That Ye Yuan is just a clown. On the day I step on the stage of Alchemy Master, would I even need to fear that you, Feng Zhirou, wouldn''t be moved?Wan Yuan thought to himself.


    He had saved up enough strength in order to perform well in front of Feng Zhirou, just to make her see him in a different light.


    Wan Yuan felt unspeakable emotions watching Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan making eyes at each other.


    . . . . . .


    Entering the herbal warehouse, Wan Yuan chose his herbs at top speed. The other students only came out of there after he had exited 30 minutes earlier.


    From this, whoever was superior could be instantly judged.


    Wan Yuan had the intention of showing off. The later phases were practically finished in one go.


    Especially after he started refining, his technique dazzled everyone, leaving them overwhelmed.


    "Old Sun, it looked like Old Brother Wan has groomed a fine son. He even beat our two apprentices."


    Wang Jinfu was a veteran Alchemy Grandmaster, so his judgment was on point. As he watched Wan Yuan''s refinement performance, he knew that Wan Yuan was much stronger than Xu Feng-er and Sun Keyun.


    "That''s right. Wan Donghai that punk really has some skill. These past few years, he suppressed Ye Hang completely. Who would have thought that the son he groomed was also this impressive? At this rate, Wan Yuan would probably surpass his father."


    Sun Jianming had always been a man of few words. To have given such an evaluation showed that Wan Yuan''s performance had already conquered him.


    "Indeed. The way I see it, Wan Yuan''s Flowing Cloud Scattering Hands is already 70% of Wan Donghai''s. What''s lacking is only experience and cultivation realm. In the future, this child will surely do great things. Humph! Unlike Ye Hang''s son. Trying to seek popularity through claptrap. Ridiculous!"


    Wang Jinfu gave an exceedingly high evaluation to Wan Yuan, while at the same time he also dropped a timely disdain toward Ye Yuan. He was clearly very displeased with Ye Yuan causing trouble today.


    Every alchemist had their own unique refinement technique. And Flowing Cloud Scattering Hands was precisely the technique Wan Donghai was famous for.


    Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming did not deliberately cover up their conversation, so it naturally reached Feng Zhirou''s and Ye Yuan''s ears.


    Ye Yuan looked calm and relax, and he did not show any reaction.


    Instead, it was Feng Zhirou who had a gloating face. She transmitted her voice once again and said, "Hey, how can you be so calm when they are praising your opponent like that?"


    Having experienced the initial shock, Feng Zhirou could only use ''abnormal'' to explain Ye Yuan''s earlier performance.


    But deep down inside, Feng Zhirou started to faintly anticipate Ye Yuan''s performance later.


    Perhaps he really could do it?


    Hearing Feng Zhirou''s voice transmission, Ye Yuan remained emotionless as he replied, "Opponent? I''ve never treated him as an opponent."


    If it were in the past, Feng Zhirou would definitely snort in derision at these words.


    But now, Feng Zhirou felt that Ye Yuan might truly think this way in his heart.


    One had to know that earlier when Xu Feng-er made that tiny error, not even the two Alchemy Grandmasters present and her aunt saw it. Otherwise, they would not need to hold this competition.


    However, Ye Yuan saw it long ago. And during Xu Feng-er''s and Sun Keyun''s refinement process, Ye Yuan already determined the grade of their medicinal pills. This was not something that an ordinary person could do.


    Feng Zhirou believed that even if Ye Yuan did not pass the Alchemy Master test, his horizons were not something that the two Alchemy Grandmasters could compare to.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s theoretical standard was already on par with an Alchemy King?


    A fifteen years old youth with the standard of an Alchemy King?Feng Zhirou was frightened by her own thought.


    "Tch! You really can act." Although she already agreed with Ye Yuan''s words in her heart, Feng Zhirou still remained scornful on the surface.


    She did not know why, but she felt that Ye Yuan was very infuriating.


    Perhaps the reason was that she had always been pursued since young. No man had ever been so contemptuous toward her before.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, Feng Zhirou asked again, "Hey, Ye Yuan. You said that I can''t pass the test this time. Is that true?"


    "Of course it''s true. I''m not so familiar with you as to joke with you," Ye Yuan replied casually.


    "Hey! Why do you talk like this?!" Feng Zhirou was upset again.


    "Am I very close to you?" Ye Yuan glanced at Feng Zhirou and asked.


    "That . . ." Feng Zhirou recalled that this was only their second meeting. They really could not count as being on familiar terms.


    "Not only we are not close, but we''re also even considered enemies, right?"


    Feng Zhirou''s face flushed red. She knew that Ye Yuan still bore a grudge again that sword. "Ye Yuan, are you a man or not? Why do you keep harping on that small matter?"


    "Small matter? That sword of yours nearly took my life! Just how great is the hatred between us?" Ye Yuan snarled irately.


    ". . . . . ." Feng Zhirou knew that she was in the wrong, and so she kept mum in anger.

    Chapter 62: Important Things Need to Be Said Thrice

    "Fine! I was wrong, alright? Don''t tell me a grown man like you don''t even have this bit of magnanimity and intend to remember this grudge for life?"


    After keeping mum for a while, Feng Zhirou finally could not resist the loneliness and opened her mouth. It was just that her apology did not sound sincere at all.


    "It''s not that I''m bearing a grudge. I''m just afraid that I might accidentally offend you, My Lady. Then this small life of mine is gone. So I think it would be better for us to maintain a distance."


    Ye Yuan was really still a little afraid of Feng Zhirou. This lass was too willful. Who knew if she might be unhappy someday and stab him with her sword again? Ye Yuan did not have the confidence to dodge again.


    He could disregard the Alchemy Roll of Honor''s experts, but he could not disregard experts on the Martial Roll of Honor. Feng Zhirou was rank three on the Martial Roll. If she really came with her sword again one day, Ye Yuan''s life might just be over.


    Feng Zhirou was so angry at Ye Yuan that she gnashed her teeth. No one had ever said something like that to her before.


    As long as they were men, regardless of high or low status, poor or wealthy, which one of them would not try everything they could to get close to her?


    But this Ye Yuan was something else. He could not even wait to hide from her!


    Feng Zhirou grew up in a ''honeypot'' and was still rather cautious of men''s approach. In the past, there had been a man who pretended to be enigmatic and deliberately maintained his distance to try to attract her attention.


    However, she could feel that Ye Yuan honestly found her to be a pain and did not want to get close to her. This made her feel a deep sense of defeat.


    "Humph! Do whatever you want. But first, you have to tell me why I can''t pass the test!" Truth be told, this was what Feng Zhirou wanted to know most of all.


    "Why should I tell you?" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes. He had never seen someone ask for advice this way.


    "Hur hur! If you don''t tell me, I will . . ." Feng Zhirou gave Ye Yuan a threatening look and drew her hand across her neck, making Ye Yuan feel a chill on his neck.


    Ye Yuan felt exasperated. Even if he was an Alchemy Emperor''s reincarnation, the incarnation of a Divine King, but today he was only a little Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm rookie.


    Without question, this move from Feng Zhirou was the simplest, more direct, and also the most effective.


    Ye Yuan knew that once this wayward lass lost it, she would go completely wild. If he really provoked her, she might just stab him again.


    He still intended on keeping this useful body to take revenge and did not want to die so dubiously.


    "Fine! You win!" Ye Yuan exclaimed helplessly.


    This was the first time Feng Zhirou had gotten back at Ye Yuan. She felt like she was cleared of all anxieties and flashed a gloating smile.


    As expected, this move worked well!


    Ye Yuan transmitted his voice helplessly, "Is the cultivation law you are training in being of extreme yang and masculine?"


    "En? How do you know that?" Feng Zhirou questioned in surprise.


    "As expected! A girl training some extreme yang and masculine cultivation law? What an idiot!" Ye Yuan was filled with disdain.


    "Hey! Can''t something nice come out of your mouth?"


    "That will have to depend on who I''m talking to! To a moron like you, I will be letting you down if I don''t scold you! Women are inherently gentle yin, originally already in conflict with extreme yang and masculine cultivation laws. Yet, you actually chose an extreme yang cultivation law. If this isn''t moronic, then what is?"


    "Humph! So what?"


    "Do you want to say that you are still top three on the Martial Roll of Honor?" Ye Yuan mercilessly interrupted Feng Zhirou''s bragging and gave a cold smile as he continued saying, "Currently, you can still compete with Senior Apprentice Brother Long and the rest because your cultivation law is extremely high-level, and not because of your cultivation realm. Just wait and see the difference between you, Senior Apprentice Brother Long, and the rest after ten years! Other people develop their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. But you develop your weaknesses and avoid your strengths. Wouldn''t you say that you are a moron?"


    "Hey! Do you believe that I will kill you if you scold me a moron again?!"


    "Moron! Moron! Moron! Important things need to be said thrice! Kill me then! If you kill me, then you can forget about breaking through the Spirit Condensation Realm for the rest of your life!" Ye Yuan also lost his temper as he snapped back coldly.


    "Humph! It will be strange if I believe you! Even if the cultivation law that I train isn''t suitable, what does it have to do with passing the alchemist test?" When Ye Yuan''s temper flared up, Feng Zhirou backed off instead.


    "This world is nothing more than yin and yang. A divine soul that has the yin-attribute requires nourishment from freezing yin qi. Yet, you cultivate extreme yang laws instead. So your body produced all masculine yang qi. The masculine yang qi is suppressing the growth of your soul strength. Even if you eat Soul Nourishing Pills like beans, the growth of your soul strength would be very limited."


    Feng Zhirou was furious at first, but after Ye Yuan said so, she started thinking about it.


    Ye Yuan continued explaining, "Right now, your soul strength barely reached the level of a low-rank Alchemy Master, but the success rate of refinement is extremely low, so it''s very hard to pass the test. If you continue cultivating like this, the yang qi in your body will accumulate even more, and the suppression of your divine soul will be even more obvious. Then you can forget about advancing and becoming an Alchemy Master for the rest of your life!"


    "Humph! You''re just trying to scare me! Do you think you can trick me with just a few words?" Although she already believed most of it in her heart, Feng Zhirou remained stubborn.


    "Is that so? If I''m not wrong, is your cultivation currently getting increasingly slower? Every day at noon, do you feel uncomfortable throughout your body, your Dantian burning hot, and a swelling pain around your temple? If you feel that I''m just trying to scare you, then just treat it like I never said anything."


    Ye Yuan''s casual words made Feng Zhirou feel ice-cold. What Ye Yuan said was completely right. In the past, her cultivation was a lot faster than those in the same age group. But ever since breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, her cultivation speed suddenly fell. Now, it was not even two-thirds of the original speed.


    Every day at noon, Feng Zhirou''s entire body would always be uncomfortable. The symptoms were exactly the same as Ye Yuan described.


    Could it be that it was really as Ye Yuan described? Did she choose the wrong cultivation law?


    "Y-you are talking rubbish!" Feng Zhirou''s eyes became vacant. But her pride which was present since the start made her refuse to admit her mistake.


    "Actually, it''s not irreparable. At least, there''s a method of letting you pass the test today."


    "What method?" The moment the words came out of her mouth, Feng Zhirou regretted it. Was this not equivalent to admitting that Ye Yuan had already convinced her?


    "When you are refining later, suppress your essence energy to the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and at the same time eat a Soul Nourishing Pill. You should be able to refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill. But don''t force yourself. Just refine some of the easier medicinal pills."


    Ye Yuan did not fuss over the details. He believed that this lass will be troubled for some time after this conversation and would not have the time or energy to compete with him. So he just told her the method directly.


    "Will that . . . really work?"


    "I already told you the method. Whether you believe or not is up to you," Ye Yuan replied indifferently.


    Meanwhile, Wan Yuan walked out of the pill refinement room with a swagger.


    Wan Yuan''s performance today was exceptional, and he surpassed his usual standard when completing the pill refinement!


    "Hahaha! Honorable Nephew has indeed surpassed your predecessor! I can see that your alchemy skills already have some of your father''s charm. The medicinal pill refined this time is probably at least a high-grade medicinal pill? Quickly bring it here for this old man to see!" Wang Jinfu laughed heartily.


    Currently, an examiner already presented the medicinal pill. Wan Yuan gave Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming a bow as he said respectfully, "Many thanks for the praise, Chairman Wang. What this junior refined this time is the Omen Breaking Pill. And luckily, I passed."


    Even though his words were modest, the arrogance between his brows could not be concealed no matter what.


    However, the way other people saw it, Wan Yuan had the capital to be arrogant.


    Wang Jinfu took the medicinal pill to have a look, and his face involuntarily changed.

 Chapter 63: Accidentally Said the Truth

    Chapter 63: Accidentally Said the Truth


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "This . . . is actually a quasi-superior-grade Omen Breaking Pill!" Wang Jinfu exclaimed in surprise.


    "Oh? Let me see. En? It''s true! Although the Omen Breaking Pill is in the same rank as the Profound Clarity Pill and the Fierce Tiger Pill, the refinement difficulty is much greater! Honorable Nephew Wan is truly remarkable to be able to refine a quasi-superior-grade." Sun Jianming took a look at the pill, and it was undeniably a quasi-superior-grade Omen Breaking Pill.


    Looking at the amazement on Wang Jinfu''s and Sun Jianming''s faces, Wan Yuan suddenly felt a sense of pride.


    "This Little Nephew was lucky. I didn''t expect that I could actually refine a quasi-superior-grade pill today." Wan Yuan''s words were modest, but the smile on his face could not be concealed no matter what. His way of addressing also changed from ''Junior'' to ''Little Nephew.''


    Wang Jinfu looked at Wan Yuan thoughtfully and sighed. "Honorable Nephew is too modest. Your alchemy skills are most likely number one among the younger generation in the State of Qin. If not for the fact that you are Old Brother Wan''s son, this old man even wants to take you in as a disciple!"


    Wan Yuan''s heart shook with excitement. It was definitely highly beneficial to receive the acknowledgment of the Alchemist Association''s Deputy Chairman.


    The Alchemist Association had always been a transcendent existence that could not be controlled by any influence.


    It was precisely so that everyone wished to strike up good relations with them. If he were accepted to be Wang Jinfu''s disciple, then the Wan Family would have found a powerful backer from now on!


    It was true that Wan Donghai was impressive. But in the end, he was only a businessman, a rootless weed.


    Although the Drunken Star Manor was huge, it faced too many restrictions within the capital. If they managed to scale up this big tree called the Alchemist Association, then would it not be simple to destroy the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion?


    Imagining this, Wan Yuan no longer hesitated. Bowing towards Wang Jinfu, he said, "My father would frequently mention the two Lord Chairmen at home and is full of admiration towards both Lords. If my father were to know that I could acknowledge Lord Chairman as my master, he would be very pleased."


    Wang Jinfu chortled and said, "But what a pity. I''ve already accepted Feng-er as my last disciple. Furthermore, you are a member of the academy. It isn''t convenient for you to acknowledge other masters. However, there is no harm in taking you in as an in-name disciple. Are you willing?"


    The first half of the sentence disappointed Wan Yuan greatly, but the second half made him overjoyed. Wang Jinfu''s arrangement was indeed in consideration of taking him in as his disciple!


    A member of the Dan Wu Academy was the equivalent of a member of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Acknowledging other masters would naturally be inappropriate, but an in-name disciple would not be an issue.


    Wan Yuan kowtowed. "Disciple Wan Yuan pays respect to Master!"


    Wang Jinfu stroked his beard as he smiled and accepted it calmly. "Good, good. You and I are only master and disciple in name, so there isn''t a need to stand on ceremony. Get up. The two of us had better not delay other people''s tests. We will talk about this matter after the test."


    Anyone could tell that Wang Jinfu was highly pleased with this in-name disciple.


    Feng Ruoqing by the side furrowed her brows instead.


    It was not that she was unhappy with Wan Yuan acknowledging a master. In reality, there were many students like that in the Dan Wu Academy. However, Wan Yuan''s background was too sensitive.


    As a member of the Imperial Family, Feng Ruoqing naturally had a different sensitivity to Wan Yuan acknowledging a master.


    The Wan Family and the Su Family had been in collusion all this while. They dominated over half of the State of Qin''s medicinal pills and medicinal herbs businesses. The Imperial Family was apparently concerned about this, so they tacitly approved of the Ye Family''s rise.


    But now that Wan Yuan was taken in by Wang Jinfu, this would mean that the Wan Family had struck up a relationship with the Alchemist Association!


    The influence of the Alchemist Association was even greater than the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Their branches spanned every corner of the continent. One could say that as long as a place had people living there, there would be an Alchemist Association.


    To the Imperial Family, they had to be on guard now that the Wan Family was in league with this giant!


    "The Alchemy Master test is starting now. Participants, enter the herbal warehouse," the examiner called out.


    Ye Yuan was about to move when Wan Yuan walked in front of him smilingly. "Ye Yuan, I advise you to not go out there and disgrace yourself. Master is a respected figure who isn''t willing to dispute with a junior like you, so you should have a sense of propriety. You have never been in contact with alchemy since young. If you mess up later, you are not only going to lose face, even Teacher Feng and the Dan Wu Academy''s people will be thoroughly disgraced."


    "What? He doesn''t know alchemy?!" When Wang Jinfu heard that, he immediately blew his top.


    "Master, I can be considered to have grown up together with Ye Yuan, but I was never aware that he knew alchemy. Although I don''t know how he managed to sneak in, I''m afraid that he will make us all lose face. That''s why I decided to speak up." Wan Yuan faked compassion as he explained.


    "Ye Yuan, are you challenging this old man''s patience?!" Wang Jinfu snarled.


    Ye Yuan ignored Wang Jinfu and looked at Wan Yuan instead, smiling as he said, "Read my lips."


    "What?" Wan Yuan was stunned for a moment and did not react in time.


    "I~~~diot~~~" Ye Yuan did not make a sound but mouthed the word exaggeratedly.


    Even though the audience did not hear anything, even a moron could see what Ye Yuan was mouthing.


    It was just that with this, the formerly tense atmosphere became a little weird. Everyone fought hard to hold back their laughter.


    "Ye Yuan, I''m doing this for your own good! Don''t be ungrateful!" Wan Yuan burst out furiously.


    "I''m really astonished by your idiocy! Who within the capital and the Dan Wu Academy aren''t aware that you were at loggerheads with me since young? Now, you''re saying that you''re doing this for my own good? Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Ye Yuan sighed helplessly.


    Wan Yuan did not expect Ye Yuan would lose all decorum with him right here. Being said like this, he was foolish enough to astonish everyone.


    "Don''t change the subject, Ye Yuan! Right now, I''m talking about whether you know alchemy or not. You are wasting the two chairmen''s precious time!" Wan Yuan did not lose himself in anger and managed to retort.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Sorry, I insulted the word ''idiot'' just now."


    "Pffft!" This time around, the audience could not hold back their laughter anymore. Especially Feng Zhirou, who convulsed in laughter exaggeratedly.


    Wan Yuan''s face turned purple as he roared, "Don''t talk nonsense, Ye Yuan!"


    "Fine then. Someone who''s even less than an idiot like you won''t give up unless I make it clear. You said that you grew up together with me and was never aware that I knew alchemy? Don''t tell me that you stalk me 24 hours a day? Do you follow me when I''m eating, sleeping, and on the loo? Or should I report to you when I''m learning alchemy? Yes, you have an Alchemy Grandmaster for a father. But I also have an Alchemy Grandmaster for a father! Why should you know alchemy, but I can''t? You even incited the two chairmen to be your hired thugs to put me to death. Your intentions are so sinister! Oops.My bad. I accidentally revealed your true purpose. Sorry!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan even bowed towards Wan Yuan mockingly, making the audience burst into laughter once again.


    With what Ye Yuan said, it was like yellow dirt had fallen into Wan Yuan''s pants. Even if it was not shit, it became shit.


    Wan Yuan turned to look at Wang Jinfu. As expected, his face became sullen. Wan Yuan hurriedly explained, "Master, don''t listen to his nonsense! There''s no such thing! He''s trying to shift the blame to me. Why would I make use of Master? Whether he knows alchemy or not, it will be clear once he enters the refining room!"


    For a moment, Wang Jinfu was unable to tell if what Ye Yuan said was true or false, so he said, "Fine. I will let you try!"

 Chapter 64: He Really Knows Alchemy?

    Chapter 64: He Really Knows Alchemy?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Fine. I want to see just what kind of Tier 2 medicinal pill can you refine! At that time, you had better not bring a pile of herbal dregs to serve as a stopgap!"


    Wan Yuan wanted to embarrass Ye Yuan, but he did not expect to throw himself in.


    However, he did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine any medicinal pill. Even if he really knew alchemy, it was impossible for him to refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill.


    As long as Ye Yuan could not refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill, then everything was good.


    At that time, could Ye Yuan even walk out of the Alchemist Association''s gates in one piece with him fanning the fire by the side?


    "You''d better worry about your own intelligence first. Don''t worry about my matters."


    Ending with those words, Ye Yuan directly ignored Wan Yuan and headed to the herbal warehouse.


    When he passed by Feng Ruoqing, he suddenly flashed a smile and transmitted his voice, "In a while, watch properly and don''t blink!"


    Feng Ruoqing''s face twitched as she looked bewilderedly at Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan had already entered the herbal warehouse.


    Could it be that he''s going to use the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique? That''s why he asked me to pay attention? He really knows the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?


    Initially, Feng Ruoqing thought that there had to be a powerful alchemy master behind Ye Yuan. That was why Ye Yuan possessed such immensely profound theoretical knowledge.


    However, the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique required extreme amounts of practice to learn. It was impossible without two to three years. As for mastering it completely, the time required was even longer. Even five years were considered short.


    But Ye Yuan was only 15 years old. Could it be that he started learning when he was 10 years old? But Ye Yuan most likely had not even stepped onto the martial path back then. Where would he have the support of essence energy?


    Thinking for a long time, Feng Ruoqing still could not figure it out, so she just let it go.


    When Feng Ruoqing came around, she realized that the atmosphere was not quite right. Everyone stared fixedly at the light curtain with unusual eyes.


    "What''s Ye Yuan doing? Is he choosing herbs haphazardly to refine randomly later?"


    Wan Yuan watched the light screen with a cold smile. "I said that he doesn''t know anything, right? Just look. He doesn''t even look and simply grabs a bunch of herbs completely indiscriminately as he goes. Who chooses herbs like that?"


    "That''s right. Isn''t this making fun of us? Many of the herbs in the herbal warehouse look almost the same. It''s impossible to tell the difference without inspecting it closely. He''s being too casual!"


    At their seat, the faces of Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming did not look too good.


    They obviously knew that there were many herbs inside the herbal warehouse meant to confuse the public. This was to test the visual judgment of the alchemist.


    However, Ye Yuan''s performance was too amateurish, giving them the feeling that they were being fooled.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s performance, Wan Yuan was secretly even more certain that Ye Yuan did not know alchemy.


    Observing the faces of the two leaders, he felt elated.


    Y e Yuan, since you are courting death yourself, then you can''t blame me! Today, even if Ye Hang came here, he also can''t save you!Wan Yuan laughed coldly in his heart.


    "Miss Feng, this old man doesn''t want to speak out of turn, but does he really know alchemy?" Wang Jinfu could not resist questioning.


    Only Feng Ruoqing was aware of Ye Yuan''s ability in this place, so she did not find it unusual.


    "Lord Chairman, please look on patiently. Since the test has already started, just let Ye Yuan finish. If he really poked a hole in any basket, then I, Feng Ruoqing, will shoulder it!"


    Although Feng Ruoqing spoke respectfully, she was firmly defensive of Ye Yuan.


    Wang Jinfu had some understanding of Feng Ruoqing and knew that she was a reserved person all along. He did not understand why she was accompanying a junior to mess around today.


    "Miss Feng''s abilities are already nearing a high-rank Alchemy Master. Can''t you differentiate between a rookie and an expert? As long as you watch Ye Yuan choose his herbs, you''ll be able to tell that he''s a complete layman. Must Miss Feng continue to go along with his nonsense?" Wang Jinfu frowned as he said this.


    Feng Ruoqing''s identity was special. In the future, she could possibly become another Alchemy Grandmaster in the Imperial family.


    Although the Alchemist Association did not fear the Imperial Family, this State of Qin was ultimately the Imperial Family''s territory. Unless they had no other alternatives, both parties naturally would not lose all decorum. Hence, Wang Jinfu continued to endure when speaking to Feng Ruoqing.


    But Feng Ruoqing just smiled and said, "I still have those same words. Why don''t Chairman Wang watch finish patiently? Perhaps it wouldn''t disappoint you? Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes might not be true."


    Seeing Feng Ruoqing remain firm, he was also displeased. He wanted to see just what Ye Yuan could do. Since he had already made it clear that if Ye Yuan really dared to mess with the Alchemist Association, then even if he was beaten to death, there was nothing that Feng Ruoqing could say.


    "Look, guys! Ye Yuan''s out!"


    "I-isn''t this too fast?"


    "Isn''t he a complete amateur?"


    "That''s right. He came out after walking one round inside."


    "You guys, look. He''s carrying so little herbs. Most likely, there''s only enough quantity for one refinement?"


    "Does he think that it''s hopeless and is acting recklessly? Or is he extremely confident in himself?"


    "Bullshit. Of course, he thinks that it''s hopeless and he''s acting recklessly! Even an Alchemy Grandmaster wouldn''t dare to guarantee that he could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill each time. Don''t tell me that Ye Yuan is so monstrous that his alchemy success rate is 100%?"


    Ye Yuan''s actions incurred a round of vicious words. But he could not hear them. Of course, even if he heard it, he would just treat it like a fart.


    Entering the pill refinement room, Ye Yuan threw the herbs casually onto the workstation and split the herbs evenly into two sets before starting the refinement of the medicinal essence right away. Even the process of preparing the herbs was forgone.


    Not even 30 minutes had passed from choosing the herbs until now. His actions caused another huge commotion.


    In the hall, regardless of both students and alchemists from the Alchemist Association, they all exchanged looks.


    "I-is this Ye Yuan here to be a joke? Even if he only prepared one set of ingredients for the sake of posturing, was there a need to skip weighing and preparation of the herbs? How is he certain of the quantity of each herb?"


    Another person looked at him like he was an idiot. "You still have hopes that Ye Yuan could refine a medicinal pill even now? This fellow is a complete amateur who doesn''t know anything at all! He''s here solely for laughs!"


    "Look, guys. the ingredients that he chose was only enough for one portion, but he split the herbs into two halves. Half the quantity isn''t even enough to refine a single medicinal pill!"


    "Hehe. This Ye Yuan is really ballsy. He actually dares to mess with the two chairmen. Is he courting death?"


    Wan Yuan smiled coldly and said, "I already said that he was all talk. To think that he really made everyone run around in circles. I want to see just how he intends to wrap up the situation later!"


    Following which, Wan Yuan looked towards Wang Jinfu to check out what kind of expression he had.


    However, Wan Yuan did not see the expression he was looking forward to on Wang Jinfu''s face.


    Suspicion was written all over Wang Jinfu''s face. "Old Sun, do you think that Ye Yuan this punk is about to use the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?"


    Sun Jianming''s expression was about the same as Wang Jinfu''s. "Theoretically speaking, splitting the ingredients equally into two parts is the approach to the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. But he . . ."


    Wang Jinfu shook his head. "I also think that it isn''t likely. How old is this punk? How could he know the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?"


    "No need to guess anymore, Lord Chairmen. What Ye Yuan is about to use is precisely the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique!"


    Right then, Feng Ruoqing''s confident voice was heard.

    RegiusProfessor:


    Are you ready for TGIF?? :P


    This is not the TGIF chapter, but the first chapter for Friday.

 Chapter 65: Godlike Technique!

    Chapter 65: Godlike Technique!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "He''s a complete amateur in alchemy who doesn''t even know how to prepare the herbs. How could he possibly know how to use the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique?"


    Preparing herbs was something deeply ingrained in alchemists. Even Wang Jinfu who was an Alchemy Grandmaster would not skip it. 1


    After all, it was impossible to comprehend how an Alchemy Emperor refined pills with his realm. 2


    Hence, in Wang Jinfu''s heart, Ye Yuan had long been determined to be a layman.


    "Whether he knows it or not, just continue watching, and you will see. Honestly speaking, even I am looking forward to it!" Feng Ruoqing said with a smile.


    Wang Jinfu and co''s conversation reached everyone''s ears. The students started gossiping among themselves.


    "Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique? What the hell is that?"


    "No clue. Never heard of it before."


    "I''m also confused now. Is Ye Yuan the real deal or is he misleading us?"


    "Should be misleading? After all, he doesn''t even know how to prepare the herbs."


    "En, en. I think so too."


    Other people did not know about the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, but Wan Yuan knew. It was exactly because he knew that caused Wan Yuan''s disdain grew even greater.


    Although the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was very powerful, it was extremely difficult to train. He was all too clear on Ye Yuan''s capabilities. How could he possibly know this?


    Most likely Ye Yuan saw it on some obscure books or records, and then he purposely took it out now to please the crowd by trying to impress them.


    Within the refining room, Ye Yuan swiftly completed the refinement of the medicinal essence. Next, was to open the furnace to refine pills.


    Similar to that day when he was assistant to Feng Ruoqing, Ye Yuan formed seals with both hands, and the flame obediently split into two parts to scorch the pill cauldron uniformly.


    Finishing the preparation work, Ye Yuan waved a hand, and the medicinal essences flew into the pill cauldron.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan''s hands were like flood dragons out in the sea. His left hand formed seals, and his right hand did so too as he controlled the two portions of medicinal essences.


    The entire process was not quick, but it was not sloppy at all.


    The essence of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was synchronization! Just based on this point, Ye Yuan''s refinement since the start had been impeccable.


    Outside the refining room in the hall, Ye Yuan''s refinement finally dispelled everyone''s suspicions towards him.


    Ye Yuan really knew alchemy!


    It was just that . . . it was not easy to judge how high his standard was.


    "I didn''t think that this rascal really knows alchemy. It''s just, why are his movements so slow? Could it be that he isn''t familiar with the seals?" Wang Jinfu was baffled.


    "The Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique has seven by seven, 49 Yang Seals, and seven by seven, 49 Yin Seals. Each of them is supremely complex. Back then, I also tried to learn the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. But in the end, I failed. Ye Yuan has been on point since the first seal until now. I also can''t see any areas where he''s unfamiliar with. Logically speaking, it should be utilized proficiently. I also don''t understand why he''s so slow. Miss Feng, what do you think?"


    Sun Jianming seemed to be rather familiar with the Yin-Yang Separation Flow technique. Most likely, he spent a great deal of time researching it in his youth.


    Feng Ruoqing had been staring unblinkingly at Ye Yuan''s hands since the beginning. She knew the first 21 seals of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique by heart. Currently, the seals Ye Yuan executed were like playing it in slow motion for her to see.


    "Could it be that he''s specifically displaying it for me to see?" Feng Zhirou quickly rejected this thought.


    The Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was incomparably complicated. If he continued like this, the medicinal pills would definitely be ruined. Even if Ye Yuan were really at the level of an Alchemy King, it would be impossible to save it.


    Noticing that Sun Jianming questioned her, Feng Ruoqing also shook her head bitterly. "I also don''t know."


    "En? The first pair of seals is completed. But isn''t this speed too slow? At this rate, the medicinal pill can''t even condense. The result will surely be a useless pill," Wang Jinfu said.


    Ye Yuan started to execute the second pair of seals. The two sets of medicinal essences jumped joyously about in the pill cauldron one after another; akin to fish frolicking.


    "En? Old Wang, do you feel that the speed of Ye Yuan''s seals is increasing?" halfway through the second pair of seals, Sun Jianming suddenly asked.


    "Is that so? I didn''t notice it. It''s still so slow! But Old Sun, did you notice that even though Ye Yuan''s actions are very slow, the medicinal essences don''t have any signs of dissipating?" Wang Jinfu also seemed to have discovered something unusual.


    In reality, when alchemists were refining pills, most would finish things quickly in order to maintain the shape of the medicinal essence.


    It was just like a single log bridge. If you charge across in one breath, you would be able to properly grasp the direction and balance, so as to not fall down. But if you crossed it slowly, it would be easy to lose your center of gravity and then fell down.


    However, Ye Yuan''s refining was the opposite. He clearly decreased the speed, but each step was very stable. There were no instances where the center of gravity was off.


    Sun Jianming took a look and was involuntarily astounded. "It''s true! Could it be that Ye Yuan already trained the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique to an extraordinarily high realm? Hence, he deliberately slowed down to allow for the various herbs in the medicinal essence to fuse better? But . . . is this possible?"


    Right when the two were debating, Ye Yuan''s seals had already progressed to the third pair.


    "It''s not right. It looks like it sped up again!" Sun Jianming exclaimed.


    "En. Now that you said it, it really looks like it''s a little faster than at the start. He''s increasing his speed!" Wang Jinfu also discovered the change in Ye Yuan''s hand speed.


    "Don''t tell me . . . he plans to keep increasing speed like this?"


    Sun Jianming and Wang Jinfu exchanged glances and saw the astonishment in each other''s eyes.


    Next was the fourth pair of seals.


    The fifth pair, sixth pair, seventh pair . . .


    Ye Yuan''s seal forming speed became increasingly faster and even more elusive.


    In the beginning, everyone''s eyes could follow Ye Yuan''s speed. But towards the end, they could only see a blur.


    Ye Yuan''s refinement gave people the feeling that he was using his fingertips to dance, dreamlike and mystical.


    Sun Jianming and Wang Jinfu no longer discussed Ye Yuan''s seals. They were completely drunk on Ye Yuan''s refinement and were not able to extricate themselves.


    At this moment, their hearts seemed to quiver along with Ye Yuan''s hands, becoming excited. Their blood even felt like it was boiling towards the end.


    In this place, Sun Jianming''s and Wang Jinfu''s skill was the highest. But even they were completely immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves; let alone the others.


    Even Ye Yuan''s enemy, Wan Yuan, was currently lost in it.


    Sun Jianming and Wang Jinfu were wholly enraptured as if they were brought into another realm. And this realm was a world that they had never heard of before in their entire lives.


    "Yin-Yang! Combine!" Just as that feeling reached its peak, Ye Yuan gave a low cry and suddenly placed his palms together, resulting in the two half portion medicinal pills, which had already taken shape, gathered in the center. A beam of white light shot out from the pill cauldron, blinding everyone''s eyes.


    Sun Jianming and Wang Jinfu were abruptly woken. The two exchanged looks once again and saw an inexplicable feeling from the other party''s eyes.


    The entire hall was silent. The students had not woken up from their stupor yet.


    Right then, the door of the refining room belonging to Ye Yuan opened, and Ye Yuan walked out slowly.


    Bean-sized sweat drops covered his forehead. It was evident that refining a Tier 2 medicinal pill was still too strenuous for him.


    "The medicinal pill is already refined. This Little Lord is tired to death. I''m going back to rest first. You have to tell me later whether I pass or not!"


    After he said that, Ye Yuan strode out, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.

 Chapter 66: Miracle, Legendary Realm!

    Chapter 66: Miracle, Legendary Realm!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "He . . . he left just like that?"


    Wang Jinfu forgot to stop Ye Yuan just now. When he recovered, Ye Yuan was already gone.


    Sun Jianming took a deep breath and sighed. "If he doesn''t leave, then what? His essence energy is already exhausted. If he doesn''t recuperate in time, it might leave behind hidden dangers. Even though he managed to refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill using his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation, it was still overly forceful. It would be a pity for such a figure to leave behind hidden dangers because of a single refinement."


    "Sigh. So what if it was forceful. He already has the strength to refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill. What''s lacking is only the accumulation of essence energy." Wang Jinfu''s words still contained deep shock.


    Sun Jinfu nodded in agreement.


    However, he suddenly became agitated. Trembling, he said, "A miracle! Ye Yuan''s refinement just now was simply a miracle!"


    "That''s right. It was truly a miracle! Could it be that Ye Yuan''s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique had already reached that legendary stage?" Wang Jinfu wondered.


    "It''s definitely the Legendary Realm! A Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm refining pills managed to affect even the mental states of us both. It''s impossible to not be the legendary stage!" Sun Jianming said in agreement.


    The various refinement techniques in alchemy had fundamental similarities with martial techniques. It was just that alchemy techniques did not possess attack power.


    However, refinement techniques were differentiated into five realms based on the level of mastery. They were namely: entry stage, small success stage, large success stage, great circle stage, and legendary stage!


    The distinction between realms was pretty much the same as martial techniques. The only difference was in the fifth stage''s name.


    One was the breaking illusion stage, while the other was the legendary stage.


    The difference also showed the fundamentally distinct goals between martial techniques and alchemy techniques.


    Martial techniques pursued extreme destructive powers. What was necessary was breaking shackles and surpassing limits. Hence the name, breaking illusion.


    On the other hand, alchemy techniques pursued a type of boundless creation power. Endless possibilities lay hidden inside a tiny, tiny medicinal pill, and what alchemy methods chased after was the creation of even more possibilities. Hence the name, legendary.


    The moment one''s alchemy technique stepped into the legendary stage, the refined medicinal pills would produce limitless possibilities and often would also increase the medicinal efficacy multiple times.


    An alchemy technique at the legendary stage could even bestow additional attributes onto the medicinal pill and yield unexpected results.


    Wang Jinfu seemed to recall something and suddenly bellowed, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly go and ''invite'' out the medicinal pill Ye Yuan refined!"


    When Wang Jinfu spoke, he subconsciously used the word ''invite.''


    The Alchemy Master at the side only came to a realization now and rushed over to retrieve the medicinal pill.


    Meanwhile, Wan Yuan''s face took on a grim expression. In his heart, he felt inexplicable shock and a strong sense of shame.


    He knew that the relationship he just struck up with Wang Jinfu was gone now. It was already impossible for Wang Jinfu to acknowledge him as a disciple.


    Things would be fine if Ye Yuan did not know alchemy. Taking advantage of Wang Jinfu''s rotten mood from being messed with, he could ''throw dirty water'' with all his might by the side.


    But now, Ye Yuan and his conflict already came out into the open. Wang Jinfu would most likely not have any good impression towards Wan Yuan as long as he slightly recalled Ye Yuan''s words.


    What made Wan Yuan feel even more ashamed was that he was actually lost in that mysterious feeling brought by Ye Yuan and could not extricate himself. This showed that his Alchemy Dao was much more inferior to Ye Yuan''s.


    How did this happen?


    A month ago, Ye Yuan was clearly still a good-for-nothing. Now, not only did he achieve dazzling results in the Martial Path, his Alchemy Dao standard broke the general knowledge, and he completed an impossible task.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill had already been carefully brought out on a jade tray by an Alchemy Master. A fire-red pill appeared in front of everyone.


    "This is . . . a low Tier 2 Strengthening Pill?" Sniffing the overwhelming medicinal aroma, Wang Jinfu quickly identified the medicinal pill.


    "That''s right. It''s really the Strengthening Pill! A transcendent-grade Strengthening Pill!" Sun Jianming said with a grave expression.


    The Strengthening Pill was a very low-level medicinal pill which was frequently used by bottom-tier martial artists.


    The use of the Strengthening Pill was to increase the power in a particular area of the body. It was a medicinal pill that allowed a partial part of a martial artist''s body to exceed their existing strength.


    Tier 1 Strengthening Pills were highly popular among demonic beast hunters as it could often help them defeat demonic beasts that were slightly stronger than them.


    It was very low-level but very practical.


    On the other hand, Tier 2 Strengthening Pills were not as popular as Tier 1''s. This was because Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were much wealthier than Essence Qi Realm martial artists. They were also much stronger so they could afford higher level medicinal pills.


    The difference between each minor cultivation realm after the Spirit Condensation Realm was huge. Even if one used a Tier 2 Strengthening Pill to partially increase their strength, the effects were severely limited. That was because the level of the medicinal pill was too low; barely reaching the level of low Tier 2.


    Hence, the position of Tier 2 Strengthening Pills became very awkward.


    But no matter what, a Tier 2 Strengthening Pill was a Tier 2 Strengthening Pill; it was a genuine Tier 2 medicinal pill. Nobody was able to refute it.


    Of course, nobody would go and dispute it right now. Everyone was sizing up this medicinal pill curiously.


    Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming exchanged glances. Wang Jinfu opened his mouth and said, "Old Sun, what are you thinking now?"


    "The same as you," Sun Jianming replied.


    "Then . . . try it?" Wang Jinfu asked uncertainly.


    But Sun Jianming shook his head instead. "This medicinal pill was refined by Ye Yuan. According to the association''s rules, this medicinal pill belongs to him. We don''t have the right to test it."


    Currently, Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming felt like their hearts were being scratched by cats. They were highly curious about the medicinal effects of this transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill.


    However, the participants who came to take part in the Alchemist Association''s test had already paid the test fees. Hence, the medicinal pills refined naturally belonged to them.


    Dan Wu Academy had already paid the test fees for their students. Both Wang and Sun obviously could not casually test the medicinal pill.


    Wang Jinfu suddenly recalled something. Slapping his thighs, he exclaimed, "Miss Feng . . ."


    Halfway through his sentence, he stopped abruptly. That was because when he turned his head, he found out that Feng Ruoqing currently had her eyes shut, and she had entered a strange state.


    "Sudden enlightenment!" Wang Jinfu sucked in a cold breath.


    No wonder he did not hear Feng Ruoqing speak until now. She had actually entered a sudden enlightenment state!


    "Her soul strength is growing. She''s about to break through!" Sun Jianming clearly also noticed her peculiar state.


    ''Everyone be quiet! Don''t interrupt Miss Feng''s breakthrough!" Wang Jinfu said in a low voice.


    The test hall instantly quietened down. Everyone was focused on Feng Ruoqing''s breakthrough.


    Feng Ruoqing had long held a studious mindset when watching Ye Yuan''s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. After Ye Yuan''s refinement became dreamlike and mystical, she felt like she comprehended something. Following which she entered a state of sudden enlightenment.


    Nobody here had more profound attainments than her in term of the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique. Also, nobody understood the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique better than her.


    Towards the end, Feng Ruoqing''s divine soul and Ye Yuan''s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique developed a resonance, and under this resonance, her divine soul gradually grew stronger.


    Feng Ruoqing''s soul strength was only a hair''s breadth away from being a high-rank Alchemy Master. Relying on this resonance, she successfully crossed the threshold and finally became a high-rank Alchemy Master.

 Chapter 67: Testing Medicinal Efficacy!

    Chapter 67: Testing Medicinal Efficacy!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    All of a sudden, the surrounding essence energy gathered around Feng Ruoqing, forming a small essence energy storm around her.


    Feng Ruoqing greedily absorbed the concentrated essence energy and broke through the shackles in one motion.


    Originally, she was at the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Taking advantage of the sudden enlightenment to break through, not only did her soul strength broke through to the high-rank Alchemy Master realm, but her cultivation also broke through the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, directly rising to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Only after the essence energy in the hall recovered its tranquility did Feng Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes.


    "Congratulations, Miss Feng, in advancing to high-rank Alchemy Master in one stroke!"


    Wang Jinfu immediately went up to congratulate, and the others also came up to express their felicitations.


    Feng Ruoqing could breakthrough to high-rank Alchemy Master at such an age. In the future, it was basically a given for her to become an Alchemy Grandmaster.


    It was essential to be on friendly terms with a future State of Qin''s major figure now.


    Except that while Feng Ruoqing returned the well-wishes perfunctorily, her eyes scanned the crowd, but in the end, she failed to find the person she was looking for.


    "Many thanks for everyone''s compliments. Ruoqing dare not accept it. For Ruoqing to be fortunate enough to breakthrough today, I still have to thank Ye Yuan. I wonder, where did he go?" Feng Ruoqing asked in puzzlement.


    In the state of sudden enlightenment, Feng Ruoqing was completely dead to the outside world. She was still not aware that Ye Yuan had already left.


    "Miss Feng, because Ye Yuan completely exhausted his essence energy to forcefully refine the Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, he went back to rest right after he exited the refining room," Wang Jinfu replied.


    Feng Ruoqing came to a realization. ''Then the medicinal pill he refined . . .?"


    The moment she mentioned the medicinal pill, everyone''s expressions became peculiar. Feng Ruoqing was baffled, but her heart jumped, and she asked anxiously, "Don''t tell me Ye Yuan failed? Impossible!"


    "Relax, Miss Feng. Of course, Ye Yuan passed. It''s just . . ." Wang Jinfu found it hard speak up.


    In reality, it was somewhat impetuous to test the medicinal pill that other people refined. However, Wang Jinfu really wanted to know if this transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill had any special effects.


    "It''s just what?" Feng Ruoqing asked curiously.


    Wang Jinfu sighed and said, "I''m also not afraid that Miss Feng will laugh. Not only did that Ye Yuan refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill, but it was also a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill! His performance earlier was simply miraculous! So . . ."


    Hearing Wang Jinfu said all that, Feng Ruoqing immediately understood in her heart.


    Transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill.


    These six words represented extraordinary significance in the State of Qin''s alchemy world!


    Even a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster could not refine a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill! Even if the medicinal pill was the lowest of the low Tier 2.


    Tier 2 medicinal pills and Tier 1 medicinal pills were two completely different concepts. The soul strength requirement was not high for Tier 1 medicinal pills. It was easier to refine in comparison.


    However, the complexity level of Tier 2 medicinal pills was several times, even dozens of times of Tier 1 medicinal pills!


    Because of that, a more powerful soul strength was necessary to advance to Alchemy Master.


    This gap also brought about a phenomenon. Tier 1 medicinal pills would occasionally come out as transcendent-grade. However, a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill had never appeared in the State of Qin before!


    Hence, Wang Jinfu really wanted to see just what effects this medicinal pill had.


    Seeing everyone look at her with expectant eyes, Feng Ruoqing obviously did not feel nice to reject. In reality, she was also curious just how mystical this so-called transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was.


    Even if Feng Ruoqing was the only one who believed that Ye Yuan could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill among this crowd, the shock that she currently felt was no less than the rest.


    Feng Ruoqing felt that it was extremely appropriate for Wang Jinfu to use the word ''miracle'' to describe Ye Yuan''s refinement just now.


    "Since that''s the case, then test it out."


    Hearing Feng Ruoqing said this, everyone let out a sigh of relief, and their eyes shone with anticipation.


    "Hahaha. I finally refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! I''m also an Alchemy Master now!"


    Right at this moment, a somewhat crazed laughter echoed out. The audience involuntarily turned to look, only to see Feng Zhirou.


    This made everyone recall that there were still two examinees who had not come out yet . . .


    Feng Zhirou caught sight of Feng Ruoqing and danced with joy. Rushing in front of her, she shook her hands as she said, "Aunt, I actually refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! I didn''t expect Ye Yuan that punk to really have a few tricks up his sleeves. He casually gave a few pointers, and I refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill. Now, I''m also an Alchemy Master!"


    "What? Ye Yuan gave you pointers?" Feng Ruoqing asked in bewilderment.


    "Yeah. He said that my cultivation law restricted my soul strength, so he told me not to refine with full strength. I followed his method and really refined a Tier 2 medicinal pill! Although what was refined is only the lowest Tier 2 medicinal pill, at least it succeeded! Yii? Where''s Ye Yuan? Don''t tell me he''s not out yet?" Feng Zhirou still had not sensed the unusual atmosphere and carried on talking by herself.


    Feng Ruoqing, Wang Jinfu, and Sun Jianming exchanged glances and saw the wordless shock in each other''s eyes.


    Casually gave a few pointers and he could make Feng Zhirou advance to Alchemy Master?


    Just what kind of monster was this Ye Yuan?!


    . . . . . .


    Right now, the Alchemist Association''s training room was already packed with people.


    Two Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists stood in the center of the training room. They were the martial artists who would test this transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill.


    Testing a medicinal pill''s effects was a highly dangerous matter. That was because nobody knew what kind of consequence would result from eating the medicinal pill.


    However, testing a very mature medicinal pill such as the Strengthening Pill would not be too dangerous. Furthermore, the medicinal effects of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill would only make someone stronger. It naturally would not cause any harm to a martial artist''s body.


    These two martial artists were decided after an intense debate. One was called Cheng Hua, while the other was called Zhu Qiang.


    Cheng Hua was at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, while Zhu Qiang was at the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. There was a difference of four minor cultivation realms between the two of them, which also meant a minor stage gap.


    This gap was huge.


    It was highly difficult to jump ranks and battle within the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was because the difference was very large even between one minor cultivation realm. Not to mention four minor cultivation realms.


    A Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, even if it was a high-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, could not allow a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist to defeat a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm even after the partial strengthening. Unless the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm stood still there for him to hit.


    However, nobody had ever tried a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill''s effects. Hence, as a precautionary measure, the powerful Zhu Qiang was chosen to be the sandbag to avoid accidental injuries.


    Zhu Qiang''s mission was to stand there and take an attack head-on from Cheng Hua!


    Even so, Zhu Qiang did not feel that Cheng Hua could hurt him. The difference between them was not something that could be breached using medicinal pills!


    Even if it was a transcendent-grade medicinal pill!


    Under everyone''s eyes, Cheng Hua consumed the transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill which Ye Yuan refined.


    Many people were envious of Cheng Hua. He was the first martial artist in the State of Qin to consume a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill!


    "Haha. How''s the feeling of eating a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill?" Zhu Qiang asked with a laugh.


    Cheng Hua who initially had his eyes closed to sense the medicinal strength opened his eyes and flashed Zhu Qiang a smile. "I feel am full of power! I''m attacking. Be careful, Brother Zhu!"


    Zhu Qiang also gave a laugh as he said boldly, "Come on. Even a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill can''t compensate for the enormous difference in cultivation realms!"


    Cheng Hua did not waste his breath and threw a punch.


    A single fist struck out, and then there was silence.

 Chapter 68: Awe from a Single Fist

    Chapter 68: Awe from a Single Fist


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Zhu Qiang really became a sandbag.


    He was punched away flying like one.


    Zhu Qiang flew over 30 meters before he barely managed to stop.


    His face was pale like paper, and a line of fresh blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he suffered internal injuries that were not light.


    Cheng Hua looked at his fist, and then looked at Zhu Qiang blankly.


    "Did I really unleash that fist just now?" Cheng Hua felt like he was dreaming.


    Just now, when the medicinal pill reached his stomach, he casually directed the medicinal strength into his right arm.


    Following which, he felt his right arm surged with a violent strength!


    This surging strength made him feel like he had to expend it.


    In accordance with the prior arrangement, Cheng Hua did not use any martial techniques. Just a simple punch. But this simple punch managed to injure a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert!


    "Brother Zhu, a-are you ok?" Cheng Hua did not have any intention of hurting anyone. But the fact was he had injured Zhu Qiang.


    "S-still alright."


    Zhu Qiang did not expect the strengthened punch to be so incredibly powerful to actually injure him.


    Of course, this punch did not cause him any substantial injuries. After all, Cheng Hua did not use any martial technique, so this strength naturally was not fully unleashed.


    The defensive might of a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was highly terrifying. Logically speaking, it was impossible for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to harm a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, even if he ate medicinal pills.


    Yet now, Cheng Hua truly injured him!


    Currently, Zhu Qiang was terrified. Luckily just now, they stipulated not to use martial techniques. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if he could even stand up straight right now.


    Zhu Qiang did not underestimate him just because he was a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In fact, he already used the bulk of his essence energy to block.


    Cheng Hua injured him under this kind of circumstance.


    "Quick! Let Zhu Qiang take this medicinal pill!" Wang Jinfu was the first to react, and the first thing he did was to treat Zhu Qiang''s injuries.


    "A transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill is actually this horrifying. It actually allowed a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to injure a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!" Sun Jianming muttered under his breath.


    This was his first time witnessing the might of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill. That scene just now was too astonishing.


    This was not some small-scale fight like back then with Ye Yuan and Fei Qingping. Cheng Hua and Zhu Qiang were both Spirit Condensation Realm experts. Wanting to jump ranks to battle was too hard.


    "That''s right. That''s to say if a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm possessed such a transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill, they would be able to jump ranks to defeat a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert under specific conditions. As for Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, there''s virtually no chance of survival under that blow just now," Sun Jianming stated his analysis.


    After he finished speaking, Sun Jianming also jumped in fright at his analysis.


    Wang Jinfu sucked in a cold breath. "If this sort of medicinal pills could be mass-produced, then wouldn''t cultivation realms become a joke?"


    It was true that even with this medicinal pill, it would be very challenging for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to defeat a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    The effects of the Strengthening Pill was only partial strengthening and would not increase the martial artist''s overall strength.


    Theoretically, it could let him kill a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. However, the required conditions were too harsh. It was virtually impossible in actual combat.


    But even so, the significance of a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was too great.


    That was because once someone consumed such a medicinal pill, it would be possible for a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm to jump ranks and challenge a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, or even a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Furthermore, it would become a common sight.


    If that happened, cultivation would indeed become a joke. A person trained bitterly to advance one minor cultivation realm, and it was inferior to other people that ate a single medicinal pill.


    "Don''t joke around. How can this sort of medicinal pills be mass-produced? Our State of Qin has been established for so many years and hasn''t only this one transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill appeared so far?" Sun Jianming shook his head and said.


    Wang Jinfu thought the same as well. Ye Yuan was indeed monstrous, but it was most likely impossible to make him mass-produce transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills.


    However, at this moment Feng Ruoqing voiced out, "Both elders, don''t forget, Ye Yuan is only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm right now!"


    Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming trembled.


    That was right. Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. If he rose a few more minor cultivation realms, maybe even after crossing the threshold called Spirit Condensation Realm, would refining transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills still be hard?


    Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique at the Legendary Realm lowered the soul strength requirement to the minimum.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s soul strength after advancing to the Spirit Condensation Realm was insufficient to advance to Alchemy Master, would refining transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills not be like playing for him?


    Wang Jinfu suddenly realized that Ye Yuan held extraordinary significance to the entire State of Qin. That was because in the entire State of Qin''s alchemy world, only he alone could refine transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills!


    Wang Jinfu''s face suddenly turned icy. The aura of a Spirit Condensation Realm spread out, making everyone present feel tremendous pressure.


    "All of you here listen up. Nobody is allowed to go out and spread about the matter of Ye Yuan refining a transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill today! Everyone swears a Heavenly Dao Oath right now. Chairman Sun and I will supervise you all! Of course, you can choose not to swear, but I can''t guarantee that you''ll be able to walk out of the Alchemist Association!" Wang Jinfu warned grimly.


    "What? Heavenly Dao Oath? You want us to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?! Based on what?!" Wang Jinfu''s words immediately drew some people''s ire.


    Heavenly Dao Oath was different from ordinary oaths. Once a Heavenly Dao Oath was sworn, one could not violate it for life. Otherwise, the heavens would smite them dead.


    Regardless of whether in the Divine Realm or in the Lower Realms, nobody could go against a Heavenly Dao Oath!


    Wan Yuan was also present. Currently, he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.


    He originally came here today wanting to show off. Who would have thought that all the limelight would be snatched away by Ye Yuan alone!


    Wan Yuan did not expect that not only did Ye Yuan knew alchemy, but he was also even monstrous to such a degree!


    After watching the might of Cheng Hua''s fist, he made the decision that he would definitely spread what happened today after he left. He believed that there would be many forces interested in Ye Yuan.


    But now, this plan fell through. Wang Jinfu actually forced everyone to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!


    "Zhu Qiang, Cheng Hua, the two of you lead everyone in swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath!" Wang Jinfu commanded.


    "Yes!"


    These two people belonged to the Alchemist Association from the start, so they obviously had to listen to Wang Jinfu''s orders.


    "M-master, do I have to swear too? I-I won''t spread it!" Gritting his teeth, Wan Yuan opened his mouth to ask.


    Wang Jinfu had long forgotten about this convenient disciple and did not expect him to jump out by himself now, so he said coldly, "Even Feng-er and Keyun have to swear. Are you more special than them? Mmm?"


    Wang Jinfu was a genuine Spirit Condensation Realm expert. Under his powerful pressure, Wan Yuan felt that his consciousness was about to collapse.


    "I-I swear!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Wang Jinfu come to realize the truth. He was already thoroughly disgusted with Wan Yuan. If not for Wang Donghai''s face, he would definitely teach Wan Yuan a lesson.


    Just like that, under Wang Jinfu''s coercion, everyone swore a Heavenly Dao Oath. Except himself, Sun Jianming, Feng Ruoqing, and Feng Zhirou.


    Even though everyone was furious about this arrangement, nobody dared to come forward.


    This was a world where the strong reigned supreme, and the Alchemist Association was too strong!

 Chapter 69: Visiting Together!

    Chapter 69: Visiting Together!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Early morning, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion started their business as usual. Except, it remained deserted like before.


    Feng San sat on a wooden armchair and held a book as he leisurely read.


    He was bored out of his mind these past few days. He worked in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion for so many years, and it was always so busy that it made him dizzy. He constantly wanted to find time to relax.


    Now that he actually had free time, Feng San felt completely uncomfortable.


    His eyes were on the book, but his heart was not.


    What made Feng San curious was about Young Master Ye Yuan. Yesterday after he came back from the alchemist test, he was utterly exhausted. What medicinal pill did he refine to be so drained?


    What made him even more curious was that half-way through the night, Ye Yuan came out full of vigor. He even recovered most of his essence energy.


    Afterward, Young Master brought Lu-er back to the Dan Wu Academy that very night . . .


    Did Young Master get into trouble again, and returned to the academy to avoid a disaster?


    But Young Master went to the Alchemist Association yesterday. He could not have turned the Alchemist Association upside down, right?


    The more Feng San thought about it, the more he felt it was so. With Young Master''s former personality, he could seriously do something like that.


    Did Young Master ''get well'' for a few days, and went back to his old habits again?


    Just as Feng San''s imagination was running wild, several old men entered the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Even though the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s business had become slow, there were still some people coming and going. After all, they conducted business fairly.


    Feng San did not pay any heed to the few people who came in and continued staring blankly at the book in his hands. There were naturally attendants to take care of these small matters.


    "Are you the shopkeeper? The three of us wish to request an interview with Mister Ye Hang about something. Please pass the word," one of the old men said.


    Only then did Feng San gave him a glance lazily. But this glance made him jump in shock because the three stars on these three old men''s chests were too blinding!


    Two of the old men had red color badges on their chest, while the three-star badge of the old man in the center was actually golden!


    Three Alchemy Grandmasters came here together!


    The Alchemist Association would distinguish alchemists of the same star by using color. Blue as low-rank, red as middle-rank, and golden as high-rank!


    In the entire State of Qin, only one person possessed a golden badge. That person was the Alchemist Association''s Lord Chairman, Wu Daofeng!


    The identities of the other two people were almost certainly Deputy Chairman Wang Jinfu and Deputy Chairman Sun Jianming!


    The three major heads with the greatest weight in the entire State of Qin''s alchemy world came forth together. What major event happened?!


    Feng San hastily got up, went in front of the three to give a deep bow, and he asked respectfully, "This lowly one welcomes the three Lords! May I ask why the three Lords are looking for the owner?"


    "Oh? You know who we are?" Wang Jinfu felt very pleased with Feng San''s attitude.


    Feng San hurriedly said, "You must be joking, my Lord. Even though this lowly one has never seen the three Lords, I still have some knowledge. Who could don those badges other than the three Lords?"


    "Haha. This Shopkeeper is indeed very considerate. No wonder Mister Ye Hang placed you in an important position. The three of us came here for Ye Yuan, and we wish to meet with your boss. Could you pass the message?"


    Wang Jinfu was very courteous with his words, but Feng San''s mind was blown!


    Recalling Ye Yuan''s unusual action yesterday night, he immediately felt a chill down his spine.


    That rascal really acted up again!


    This time around, even Lord Wu Daofeng personally came to call him to account. Ye Yuan was poking a hole in the sky!


    Wu Daofeng had always been living a secluded life. Just how much trouble did that punk, Ye Yuan, cause to alarm this major figure!


    The Drunken Star Manor''s issue already left them bruised and battered. Now, there was the Alchemist Association. Did the heavens really want the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to perish?


    Wu Daofeng kept quiet all this time. But seeing Feng San space out, he could not help asking, "Shopkeeper, is there any difficulty?"


    Feng San recovered from his stupor, and then he pulled a long face and said, "My apologies, three Lords. Our owner entered a death-seclusion a few days ago. I''m afraid . . . he won''t be coming out soon."


    After saying that, Feng San''s heart palpitated and could not resist sneaking a peek at Wu Daofeng. He discovered that the three of them exchanged glances, which revealed a deep disappointment.


    Feng San was a little curious. Looking at the three of them, it did not look like they were here to confront?


    But if they did not come to confront about something, then why did the three of them come together?


    Feng San was utterly baffled.


    "Then . . . is your Young Master, Ye Yuan, around? We can also look for him!" Right then, Wang Jinfu opened his mouth.


    Feng San felt a little guilty as he gave in. "Three lords, Young Master returned to the academy yesterday night."


    The three people exchanged looks again. Wang Jinfu shook his head and sighed. "Looks like that punk is intentionally hiding from us! How can that fellow, Jiang Yunhe, let Ye Yuan go after he returns to the academy?"


    Wu Daofeng seemed to be pondering, but no one knew what he was thinking about either. After some time, he said, "Shopkeeper, don''t let your imagination run wild. We actually came here today to deliver Ye Yuan''s badge. He passed the Alchemist Association''s test yesterday. Since he''s not around, then we will pass the badge to you. I have to trouble shopkeeper to personally go down and deliver this to Ye Yuan''s hands."


    When Feng San heard deliver badge, he immediately relaxed. So Young Master really became promising, to have passed the Alchemy Apprentice test. At least the owner had a successor now.


    However, he quickly grew suspicious again. It was just a badge. Why would it trouble the three major heads of the association to personally deliver it?


    Was delivering the badge a pretense and finding the owner to discuss a major matter was the actual intent instead?


    Thinking about it, there was only this possibility. After all, Ye Yuan was a junior. There was no way the three major heads would be dispatched.


    Although Ye Hang was not qualified yet, because of the Drunken Star Manor''s Essence Gathering Pill, the entire situation in the capital had become abnormal. It was also understandable for these three major figures to come and find Ye Hang.


    After all, Ye Hang was also an Alchemy Grandmaster, an important figure in the capital.


    Connecting the dots, Feng San felt like he finally understood the other party''s purpose of visit. He quickly said, "No trouble, no trouble at all! To be of service for the three Lords is this lowly one''s honor. I will go to the Dan Wu Academy right away and personally hand this badge over to Young Master."


    "Jinfu, give the badge to the shopkeeper," Wu Daofeng said calmly.


    "This . . . Why don''t we go down personally? In case . . ." Wang Jinfu did not take out the badge right away and was somewhat hesitant.


    "No need. The association has never interfered with local affairs. We can''t break this rule. With our status, it''s not appropriate for us to appear at the Dan Wu Academy. Don''t worry. In terms of alchemy, who can compare to the Alchemist Association?" Wu Daofeng said.


    Wang Jinfu''s eyes lit up. "Lord Chairman is still more foresighted. This old one understands."


    Finishing his words, Wang Jinfu retrieved the badge, and then he handed it over to Feng San. He said, "We have to trouble you, Shopkeeper. However, please don''t reveal this matter of you delivering the badge. Although this matter can''t be hidden for long, every moment counts."


    Feng San was confused. It was just an Alchemy Apprentice badge. Why were these lords taking it so seriously? Was this not blowing things out of proportion?


    However, when his two eyes landed on the badge in Wang Jinfu''s hands, they became wide circles as his eyes were involuntarily glued to the badge.


    Only to see that two stars were sewn on that blue color badge!


    I-isn''t this an Alchemy Master''s badge?


    Was there a mistake?!

 Chapter 70: Denied Entrance

    Chapter 70: Denied Entrance


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What?! You''re saying that Ye Yuan passed the Alchemy Master test with his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm strength?"


    Jiang Yunhe had not lost his composure like this for a long time. But the news brought by Feng Ruoqing overwhelmed him.


    "Yes. Not only did he pass the low-rank Alchemy Master test, he even refined a transcendent-grade Tier 2 Strengthening Pill during the test. Upon testing, a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm after consuming the pill would possess the strength to threaten a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm." Feng Ruoqing seemed like she would not give up until she shocked people to death with her words.


    "Transcendent-grade . . . Tier 2 . . . medicinal pill? F-First Level Spirit Condensation Realm threatening a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?"


    Jiang Yunhe''s brain short-circuited. What Feng Ruoqing said had completely surpassed his understanding.


    Feng Ruoqing wanted to laugh watching Jiang Yunhe lose composure in such a manner. She had been here at the Dan Wu Academy for several years but had never seen Jiang Yunhe in this state.


    "Could it be that Ye Yuan was born with a powerful soul strength that already reached the Alchemy Master realm?" after some time, Jiang Yunhe finally asked.


    But Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "That''s not it. His soul strength isn''t that strong. It''s only slightly stronger than the average person. He could refine a Tier 2 medicinal pill because he used the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique."


    "Sssss! Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique . . . Even if it''s the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, isn''t this a little too exaggerated?"


    "Mmm. Truth be told, Ye Yuan''s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique has already reached the legendary stage!"


    Even now when Feng Ruoqing said this, she felt that it was inconceivable.


    Legendary stage, that by itself was a legend.


    It was virtually impossible to reach that stage.


    Even those old people who lost all their teeth in the Alchemist Association did not manage to train any alchemy technique to the legendary stage, let alone the even more challenging Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    Jiang Yunhe who was already shocked until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was shocked once more.


    He stared at Feng Ruoqing for some time before confirming that she did not lie. "Just what lucky encounter did this Ye Yuan had? Isn''t this too unbelievable?"


    Feng Ruoqing seemed to be well-prepared. "He obviously won''t reveal this sort of thing. But my guess is there should be an extremely powerful alchemist behind Ye Yuan! And it''s impossible for that person to be his father. The way I see it, this alchemist is definitely not limited to the Alchemy King realm!"


    Jiang Yunhe paced about to digest the news that Feng Ruoqing brought back.


    It seemed that Feng Ruoqing''s guess should be the closest to the truth. Otherwise, it could not explain how Ye Yuan possessed such monstrous alchemic talent at such a young age.


    After a long time, Jiang Yunhe said, "Such a figure is too terrifying. It''s best to not provoke. It''s just that I don''t understand. Since Ye Yuan has such an incredible master, why would he come to the Dan Wu Academy?"


    Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "I also thought about this question. Most likely, it''s to train his disciple?"


    "Mmm. There is this possibility! Damn, you said Wang Jinfu and Sun Jianming, those two geezers, also knows about this. They definitely won''t let Ye Yuan go! Come, let''s quickly find Ye Yuan!"


    As he was saying this, Jiang Yunhe wanted to rush out.


    Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, "Relax, Dean. After returning to the academy, I''d already visited the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Ye Yuan has already returned to the academy during the night. Lord Chairman Wu Daofeng brought the two deputy chairmen in vain. Grandmaster Ye Hang is also coincidentally in a closed-door seclusion, so the three of them returned empty-handed. Finally, they could only request the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s shopkeeper, Feng San, to deliver the badge to the academy."


    Jiang Yunhe let out a huge sigh of relief. Laughing out loud, he then said, "Haha.To think Old Man Wu would actually be denied entrance. I think his face back then would have been very interesting. Ye Yuan must have definitely predicted this situation, that''s why he rushed back through the night. It looks like his feelings for the academy is very deep! Since Ye Yuan''s back at the academy, quickly bring him to see me. No, I''ll personally go visit him!"


    Jiang Yunhe brought Feng Ruoqing to Ye Yuan''s residence and did not alarm other people.


    Personally visiting a student with his status would definitely cause a huge uproar in the academy.


    Except, Jiang Yunhe did not manage to meet with Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan entered the training room after returning to the academy.


    But Jiang Yunhe saw Lu-er and Feng San at Ye Yuan''s residence. However, they did not recognize Jiang Yunhe. Lu-er was very familiar with Feng Ruoqing though.


    "Teacher Feng is here to look for Young Master?"


    "Yeah. Didn''t he come back yesterday night? Where is he?"


    "Young Master said that he felt he was going to break through, so he entered a closed-door seclusion right away after returning. Shopkeeper Feng San didn''t get to see him either."


    Jiang Yunhe was stunned. What breakthrough? This rascal was clearly hiding from everyone!


    It had only been a few days since he broke through to the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, how could it be possible for another breakthrough so soon?


    Even though Ye Yuan''s breakthroughs previously were indeed fast, but for every increment in cultivation realm in the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty would also become greater.


    How could it be so easy to break through from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?


    Furthermore, even if he broke through, his cultivation realm rose too quickly would inevitably affect future cultivation growth. This way of doing things was just not worth it.


    There was such a powerful teacher behind Ye Yuan, how could he possibly make such a low-level mistake?


    Hence, Ye Yuan must definitely be hiding from everyone!


    This brat caused such a huge upheaval, yet he hid himself and avoided meeting anyone. How irresponsible!


    Jiang Yunhe felt very depressed. He came to visit a junior with his status and was actually denied entrance!


    Just now, he was still laughing at Wu Daofeng. He did not think that karma would strike instantly, and it was his turn so soon.


    But one had to acknowledge that a closed-door seclusion was an excellent excuse.


    When martial artists were cultivating, it was taboo for them to be interrupted during closed-seclusion.


    Even if Jiang Yunhe was the dean, he also could not casually interrupt Ye Yuan''s closed-door seclusion.


    Feng Ruoqing did not expect this result either and so she said helplessly, "Then . . . forgive our disturbance, Miss Lu-er. If Ye Yuan exits seclusion, could Miss Lu-er please tell him to look for the Lord Dean at the back of the mountain, Cloud Wave Court?"


    Lu-er blinked her eyes and nodded, saying, "Don''t worry, Teacher Feng. Lu-er will remember."


    Lu-er was na?ve and did not understand Feng Ruoqing''s meaning. However, Feng San was proficient in the ways of the world. His entire body quivered when he heard this, and his eyes sneaked a peek at Jiang Yunhe.


    Initially, he only faintly felt how powerful this person was, but at this moment, he was able to guess Jiang Yunhe''s identity!


    Feng San did not expect the dignified Dan Wu Academy''s dean would come to look for Ye Yuan personally!


    Recalling this morning where Lord Wu Daofeng also visited personally to deliver the badge, Feng San was incomparably shocked.


    Ever since he received the badge in the morning, Feng San knew that Wu Daofeng did not come to look for Ye Hang. They came to look for Ye Yuan!


    Having been the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s shopkeeper for so many years, nobody was clearer than him about what a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm Alchemy Master meant!


    The two most powerful, most influential big-shots went so far as to personally visit his Young Master!


    "Huuuuuu . . . "


    Watching Jiang Yunhe and Feng Ruoqing in the distance, Feng San let out a long breath.


    Young Master Ye Yuan really could not compare with the past. He had already gone from a silkpants to becoming a top genius in the entire State of Qin.


    Even major figures like Jiang Yunhe and Wu Daofeng were fighting to win over his young master!


    "Oh Lu-er, our family''s Young Master Ye Yuan has finally become capable!" Feng San sighed emotionally.


    But Lu-er pouted her lips, and she said with a smile, "Young Master has already been amazing. It''s just that you all misunderstood him in the past."


    Feng San looked at Lu-er speechlessly . . .

 Chapter 71: A Scheme!

    Chapter 71: A Scheme!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    It was true that Ye Yuan was hiding from everyone. However, he was really in a closed-door seclusion.


    Since his Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation had already been consolidated, he could not wait to increase his strength.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy was thoroughly exhausted in refining the Tier 2 medicinal pill. It was indeed an incredible burden on his body.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was recovering his exhausted essence energy in order to adjust himself to his peak condition. Following that, he planned to take transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills to breakthrough to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm in one stroke.


    Of course, the amount of time required to break through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm could not be compared with back then from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm.


    The second stage of the Essence Qi Realm.


    Every time one''s cultivation realm rose, the essence energy required also increased by a large quantity.


    Although Ye Yuan had sufficient transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills, he still needed time to digest them.


    In addition, what he trained in was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, so the essence energy expended was several times of the average person.


    However, Ye Yuan was not in a rush. He had plenty of time.


    He will be in closed-door seclusion for a few days first to let those people get busy and leave him alone.


    Jiang Yunhe was certainly very busy. After failing to meet Ye Yuan, he left the Dan Wu Academy.


    In reality, Jiang Yunhe had always been busy. He actually spent very little time in the academy. Nobody knew what he went out to do.


    He happened to be back at the academy these few days and found out that such a dazzling new star rose within a month.


    However, Ye Yuan required time to grow no matter how talented he was. After all, he was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    As long as Ye Yuan was in the Dan Wu Academy, Jiang Yunhe need not worry about this genius running away.


    Since Ye Yuan chose the Dan Wu Academy, it was impossible for Wu Daofeng to come to the Dan Wu Academy personally to headhunt people.


    After making it through the initial shock and having thought through this part, Jiang Yunhe naturally had to get busy with his own matters. There was no way he would wait here specifically for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.


    Yet at this time, Lu-er welcomed an unexpected guest. Someone who claimed to be a student from the academy''s General Affairs Department was looking for her.


    "This Junior Apprentice Sister is Lu-er?" The student''s attitude was very haughty.


    Lu-er was a little perplexed, but she still responded, "Yes. May I ask who this Senior Apprentice Brother is?"


    "I''m a student manager from the General Affairs Departments; the name''s Zhang Heng."


    "So it''s Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Heng. I wonder if you are looking for Lu-er for something?"


    Although Lu-er was innocent, she was not dumb. This Zhang Heng would not find her for no reason, and looking at his attitude it did not seem to be friendly.


    As expected, Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said, "Of course I''m finding you for something! Since you already passed the Entry Advancement test and became the academy''s Yellow Rank student, why didn''t you report to the General Affairs Department?"


    Lu-er was at a loss. She never knew there was such a rule. One still had to report to the General Affairs Department after becoming the academy''s student?


    "Please overlook it, Senior Apprentice Brother. Lu-er has just been admitted, and there are still many things that I don''t know. It''s just, why must I report to the department after becoming a Yellow Rank student?" Lu-er asked neither haughtily nor humbly.


    Zheng Heng gave a cold smile and said, "Such a large Dan Wu Academy is accommodating for so many students. Are we just going to sit idle and eat? Since we became the academy''s students, we naturally have to help out in the academy. Hence, all Yellow Rank students who passed the Entry Advancement test have to do one month of miscellaneous tasks. This is the academy''s rule. You became the academy''s student, but instead of learning the academy''s rules properly, you even want other people to help you complete your miscellaneous jobs. Simply shameless!"


    This Zhang Heng did not lie. There was really such a rule in the Dan Wu Academy. But it was a little too much to speak to a girl like this.


    Furthermore, Lu-er did not neglect work on purpose. She really did not know anything. She had only arrived at the academy for several days, so even if she was absent from work, it was not a big deal.


    Zhang Heng was obviously here to find fault.


    Lu-er did not feel anything about doing a month of chores. Except, Ye Yuan was currently in a closed-door seclusion. If he exited seclusion and could not find her, he would definitely be worried.


    "Can Senior Apprentice Brother allow me to wait for a few days? My young master is currently in a closed-door seclusion, and if he can''t find me when he exits, he will definitely get worried. After my young master leaves seclusion, I will definitely report to the general affairs," Lu-er requested cautiously.


    Who would have thought that Zhang Heng would rage after hearing that. "What a joke! Who do you think your young master is? Is he bigger than the academy''s rules? You''ve already delayed for several days. How many more days do you want to delay? Every new student will be recorded in the books, and they would have the initiative to do their job. Are you the only exception?"


    Hearing Zhang Heng verbally insulted her Young Master, Lu-er was so angry that tears were pooling in her eyes. But she knew that Young Master still had Wan Yuan, an opponent in the academy, and so she did not want to cause trouble for him. Hence, she held back her tears and said, "Lu-er requests Senior Apprentice Brother to allow a few days'' grace. I will definitely report there. At that time, even if you arrange two months of chores for me, I won''t mind."


    However, Zhang Heng did not seem to have any intention of being tender towards women. He smiled coldly and said, "Anyway, I''ve already informed you. It''s your call whether you go or not. But I will say the nasty things first. If I don''t see you report at the general affairs today, then don''t blame me for reporting this matter to the instructor. In accordance with the academy''s rules, you can just wait to be expelled!"


    Hearing the word ''expelled,'' Lu-er shuddered.


    Young Master was currently like the noon sun, if she were expelled, then would it not make Young Master a laughing stock?


    That was definitely not a result that Lu-er wanted to see!


    Without question, this word struck Lu-er''s weak point.


    Seeing Lu-er''s restless look, a ruminating look could be seen in Zhang Heng''s eyes.


    Hur hur. What has it got to do with me after your Young Master comes out? It''s because I know that he''s in a closed-door seclusion; that''s why I came to look for you and cause trouble!Zhang Heng was laughing coldly in his heart.


    Zhang Heng pretended to have lost his patience, turned around, and was about to leave.


    Looking at the situation, Lu-er did not dare to delay. She quickly called out, "Wait, Senior Apprentice Brother. I . . . I will go with you to the general affairs. It''s just . . . can you let me leave a note for my young master?"


    One had to acknowledge that Lu-er was overly innocent. She even thought that this Zhang Heng was an upright and outspoken person, which was why he came to find her. Who would have known that he was scheming and came to find trouble!


    If Lu-er secretly left a token or note, then Ye Yuan would know what happened.


    But now that she told Zhang Heng she wanted to leave a note, how could Zhang Heng allow her to do that?


    Zhang Heng said impatiently, "If you are leaving, then just go. Why are there so many things? I''m leaving. Handle it by yourself!"


    Finishing, he really turned around and left.


    Lu-er hesitated for a moment and returned to the house to leave a note before going.


    Of course, Lu-er was not aware that Ye Yuan would not see her note.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world. He was currently at the critical juncture of assaulting the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    He threw transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills into his mouth like they were sweets, and continuously refined the medicinal strength with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    The essence energy within his dantian became increasingly abundant, and he got closer and closer to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Finally, Ye Yuan burst through the barrier in one shot, and he broke through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    "Huuu . . . At this rate, these Essence Qi Pills aren''t even enough! This stupid cultivation law is too voracious. This is still the Essence Qi Realm, and the consumption is already multiple times greater than the average person''s. Won''t it be hell at the Spirit Condensation Realm? Old Dad might be rich, but even he can''t sustain this torment!"


    Ye Yuan watched the transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills being massively depleted. He could not resist criticizing the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.

 Chapter 72: Lin Tiancheng’s Plan

    Chapter 72: Lin Tiancheng��s Plan


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Two days later, in a medicine garden behind the mountain, a young lady dressed in green was currently weeding.


    There were many dirt stains on the young lady''s face, and her hair was also disordered. Sweat beads dripped down her forehead, and her clothing also was somewhat in tatters. She looked very pitiful.


    However, this young lady''s face gave out a stubborn expression, as she continued to grit her teeth and persevere.


    This young lady was precisely Lu-er who was forced to come here by Zhang Heng. She had basically been slogging in the medicine garden for the past two days without stopping.


    The formerly dainty and exquisite Lu-er was gone, and what replaced it was a haggard face full of exhaustion.


    Weeding was not a very tiring job for martial artists. Even if they did not rest or sleep for several days, they would not end up like this.


    However, weeding in the medicine garden was not such a relaxing job. The weeds in the spiritual fields were very deeply rooted because of nourishment from the thick heaven and earth essence energy.


    One had to utilize essence energy to remove them.


    Like this, weeding became hard labor.


    There was no one willing to do this job in the academy. Hence, they would let those newbies who just entered the academy do this sort of things.


    In reality, the majority of those doing these chores were commoners. The aristocrats just have to bribe a little, and they would be easily exempted.


    Zhang Heng used Lu-er avoiding her tasks as an excuse to arrange a much heavier workload for her compared to the others.


    Lu-er had virtually zero rest during these two days, but she only finished less than half of her workload.


    Due to her continuously expending her essence energy these two days, Lu-er''s stamina was already depleted. That was why she appeared so fatigued.


    Two youths were currently sipping tea and chatting in the small pavilion overlooking the medicine garden. They looked very pleased.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, this Junior Apprentice Brother can''t bear to torment such a dainty and cute beauty like this!" Zhang Heng shook his head and sighed. However, there was no trace of unwillingness on his facial expression.


    The youth sitting opposite him was precisely Lin Tiancheng. And finding trouble for Lu-er was something he single-handed engineered.


    In the Dan Wu Academy, there were very few Heaven Rank students, and their status was extremely aloof. Generally speaking, the academy would not arrange for them to do anything specific. They just had to cultivate diligently.


    All of the chores in the academy were mostly handled by the Earth rank students.


    Just like Zhao Chunyang, he was sent out by the General Affairs Department to stand guard over the Scripture Library. Hence, the authority of the department was actually quite significant. There were plenty of ways to mess with people.


    What Ye Yuan did not know was that the head student of the General Affairs Department was Lin Tiancheng.


    Apart from an instructor who did not involve himself too much, Lin Tiancheng''s authority was the highest.


    Ever since he was humiliated by Ye Yuan at the Illusionary Spirit Tower, and with Liu Ruoshui inciting things by the side, Lin Tiancheng started to resent Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was currently like the noon sun in the academy, so naturally, he did not dare to seek Ye Yuan out. But it was not hard to find trouble with Lu-er.


    Two days ago, he heard that Ye Yuan happened to enter a closed-door seclusion, so he found a reason to send Zhang Heng over to find trouble with Lu-er and instructed her to remove weeds in the medicine garden.


    Lin Tiancheng sipped his tea and smiled as he said, "Don''t pretend to be a bodhisattva with me as if I don''t know you. I let you take charge of this medicine garden, and God knows how many girls you have harmed. Would you pity this young lass?"


    Hearing this, Zhang Heng laughed and said, "This is all thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Lin''s care! That''s why when Senior Apprentice Brother Lin came to look for me, I didn''t say a word and just did it."


    Lin Tiancheng nodded approvingly and said, "At least you are sensible, punk! I''m very pleased with the way this matter was dealt with. You can do whatever you want with that chick, no need to give me any face!"


    When Zhang Heng heard this, a trace of wickedness flickered across his eyes, and he asked, "Really?"


    "Of course it''s real! I really want to see what kind of expression Ye Yuan would have after he exits seclusion only to see that his maidservant was violated!" Lin Tiancheng''s eyes filled with hatred when he mentioned Ye Yuan.


    That day at the Illusionary Spirit Tower, Ye Yuan made him completely lose face.


    Afterward, many students secretly spread about what happened that day, which greatly diminished his prestige among the Earth Rank students. This was the reason why he wanted to take revenge so badly!


    Zhang Heng was thrilled. "Since that''s the case, then I, Junior Apprentice Brother, won''t stand on ceremony. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin really gave this Little Brother a huge gift! Even though this girl is young, in terms of appearance, she is outstanding! It''s just . . . I''m afraid that Ye Yuan would come to find me after exiting seclusion."


    Lin Tiancheng looked at Zhang Heng calmly and said with a cold smile, "No matter how powerful that Ye Yuan is, he''s only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. You are at any rate a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Are you still scared of him? If he confronts you, then just let him come. When that happens, give him a brutal beating. You can help me vent this frustration at the same time! By the time he grows up, you would have graduated already. Why be scared of him?"


    Zhang Heng gave heavy praises when he heard it. "Haha. It''s still Senior Apprentice Brother Lin who have great foresight. You''ve already considered everything! I''m somewhat looking forward to Ye Yuan''s furious and exasperated expression now."


    Finishing, Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng exchanged glances and started laughing in unison.


    Lin Tiancheng was naturally unaware of Ye Yuan''s performance in the Illusionary Spirit Tower. He thought that he overconfidently challenged the Earth Rank Advancement test and ended up being instantly killed.


    He also thought that Ye Yuan had just barely made it past the Black Rank Advancement test. Hence, the way he saw it, Ye Yuan at most had the strength of an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Zhang Heng might be older, but he was already a veteran Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm who similarly had the ability to jump ranks and battle. So it was obvious he could not lose to Ye Yuan.


    . . . . . .


    This seclusion of Ye Yuan lasted four days.


    Presently, the essence energy in Ye Yuan''s dantian was surging as he impacted the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm bottleneck repeatedly.


    Ye Yuan had already broken through to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm three days ago. After consolidating his cultivation realm a little, Ye Yuan continued eating transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills to impact the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    To him, there was not much difference between the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm and the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. It was just how many transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills he needed to consume.


    Ye Yuan consumed transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills non-stop and repeatedly tempered the essence energy using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    Finally, after consuming several hundred transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pills, Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm in one stroke!


    Ye Yuan felt like his entire body was bursting with strength after breaking through two cultivation realms consecutively. A feeling of discomfort had arisen unless he used his strength!


    Revolving his essence energy, Ye Yuan struck out a palm. The air in the training room was compressed to its limits by the power of his palm and gave off a ''puff puff'' explosive sound.


    Boom!


    A large hole was dented into the wall of the training room.


    This big hole was way larger than the first time he used the Stacking Waves Layered Palm. It was an attack on an entirely different level.


    The walls of the training room were special. It could perfectly withstand a peak level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist''s full blow.


    It could be seen just how terrifying Ye Yuan''s attack power was to be able to smash such a large hole in the wall.


    "Ooo. If I enter the Illusionary Spirit Tower again and use the Eighth Layer Wave, I should be able to kill three black-robed martial artists, right? Hehe. After I breakthrough to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, I will go to the Illusionary Spirit Tower to try it out," Ye Yuan looked at the big hole in the wall and muttered to himself.


    "It should have already been four or five days? I wonder what happened outside. If I still don''t go out, Lu-er will be worried. Time to exit seclusion!"

 Chapter 73: Lu-er in Danger!

    Chapter 73: Lu-er in Danger!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Lu-er bent down to pull out the weeds beneath the herbs.


    These weeds were incredibly stubborn. Each one would make Lu-er expend a great deal of strength to remove.


    Even so, Lu-er did not make any complaint these past few days.


    She did not wish to cause trouble for Young Master and did not want to smear dirt on Young Master''s face anymore.


    The first two days, Lu-er''s weeding speed was still very fast. But the next two days, her speed suddenly fell. It was because the essence energy in her body was drained.


    Every now and then, Lu-er had to meditate for a while to recover essence energy. But this essence energy was used up again very quickly.


    Like this, her weeding speed became drastically slower.


    Two days ago, she had already completed nearly half of it, but the next two days, she only finished 70%, and she was getting increasingly slower.


    Lu-er''s stamina had already been over exhausted far too much. Her upper eyelid and lower eyelid had been trembling all these while. Only an obsessive thought compelled her forward.


    All of a sudden, a pair of feet appeared in Lu-er''s sight. Lu-er''s face lit up, and she could not resist lifting her head up to see.


    But she was greatly disappointed after looking up. The person who came was not Young Master but that hateful Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang!


    Zhang Heng saw Lu-er''s disappointed expression and smiled coldly as he said, "Why? Didn''t see the person you wished to see?"


    Lu-er kept silent.


    Zhang Heng was very displeased with Lu-er''s attitude and flew into a rage. " Humph! I assigned you the task to get rid of the weeds, but you only completed 70% of it until now. Did you leave so much for me to help you do?"


    Lu-er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and she said weakly, "I . . . I''m already working very hard. Just give me one more day, Senior Apprentice Brother. I can definitely complete it."


    "One day? I think even if I gave you three days, you also can''t complete it. Such a small task and you can''t even complete it in four or five days. You must be slacking off!" Zhang Heng snorted coldly.


    Lu-er hurriedly shook her head. "I didn''t. I''m really working very hard at weeding!"


    " Hehe. I will naturally know whether you are working hard or not. It''s useless for you to argue! To punish you for slacking, you have to weed another stretch of the medicine garden!"


    Lu-er froze when she heard that. "What? W-weed another stretch of the medicine garden? I . . . I . . ."


    "You, what you? You don''t want to do it? If you don''t want to do it, then fine. Go back, pack your stuff, and be prepared to get lost from the academy!" Zhang Heng did not intend to show any sympathy towards a girl.


    "But . . . But I already . . ."


    "You already don''t have any more strength to do, right?" Zhang Heng suddenly smiled and said.


    Lu-er nodded feebly.


    "If you don''t want to do it, fine. But you have to promise me something." Zhang Heng suddenly changed the subject.


    Lu-er did not expect Zhang Heng to suddenly loosen up and naively thought that what he said was the truth. She asked him ecstatically, "Is that true? Please say, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang!"


    A malicious smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Heng''s face. Lu-er''s face changed as she only just realized that Zhang Heng did not have any good intentions.


    As expected, Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said, "I didn''t think that Miss Lu-er was so astute! My condition is very simple. I just want Miss Lu-er to accompany me for one night, and that will do. How''s that? Isn''t this deal worthwhile?"


    Lu-er was not a stupid person. She was just inexperienced and did not really know the ways of the world.


    Initially, she only thought that Zhang Heng was an unreasonable person. Now, it looks like he was simply a beast in human clothing! Perhaps he already decided and planned all these, which was why he repeatedly made things difficult for her.


    " Pooh! So, you are this sort of filthy person. Watch me report you to the instructor!" Lu-er said hatefully.


    " Hahahaha! What a joke! You''re just a newbie who refused to accept your Senior Apprentice Brother''s punishment. And because you harbored a grudge in your heart, that''s why you slandered your Senior Apprentice Brother. Why don''t you tell me whether the instructor will believe you or me?" Zhang Heng seemed to have expected it and laughed loudly.


    When Zhang Heng said that, Lu-er was stunned.


    Zhang Heng could manage the medicine garden for such a long time, which showed that the instructor definitely trusted him very much. Even if she went to complain, if Zhang Heng said that, the instructor might really think that she bore a grudge, which was why she defamed Senior Apprentice Brother.


    "You! You''re a really despicable man!" Lu-er was so enraged by Zhang Heng that her entire body was shaking as she pointed at his nose and yelled.


    However, Zhang Heng did not care at all. He smiled coldly as he said, "Lu-er, just think about it, if your young master exits seclusion and hears that his maidservant was expelled right after being admitted into the academy, what kind of feeling would that be?"


    Lu-er was stunned, and her body started to tremble involuntarily.


    Seeing Lu-er''s expression, Zhang Heng was even more pleased. He continued saying, "Your young master is currently the academy''s favorite. But his own maidservant was chased out of the academy. In the future, as long as he stays in the academy, there would be people pointing and gossiping behind his back. They would laugh that he couldn''t even manage his own maidservant."


    Taking advantage of Lu-er being scared out of her wits, Zhang Heng slowly moved closer to Lu-er.


    As he got closer, he continued saying, "Even though I''m not as talented as your young master, I''m still a respected figure in the academy. You won''t suffer from following me. How about it? It''s just one night!"


    As he was talking, Zhang Heng wanted to use his finger to lift Lu-er''s chin. But Lu-er abruptly came round and immediately jumped away.


    " Humph! You should just give up. Even if I die, I won''t bring shame on Young Master!"


    After she said that, Lu-er lifted her hand and slapped towards the top of her head. If this palm landed, the result would definitely be the passing of a beauty.


    Zhang Heng also did not expect Lu-er to be so decisive and would rather commit suicide than yield. He immediately became furious.


    Although Lu-er improved amazingly fast, when facing the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm Zhang Heng, she was still incredibly weak.


    Furthermore, her essence energy already depleted. How could she possibly succeed in committing suicide?


    Pah!


    Who knew when a whip appeared in Zhang Heng''s hands, which coiled around Lu-er''s arm, sending her flying.


    Just like that, Lu-er went crashing out.


    " Ah! " Lu-er landed heavily on the ground and gave a muffled groan.


    Pah!


    Another lash!


    This lash landed heavily on Lu-er''s. A bloody streak immediately appeared on Lu-er''s body, and blood seeped through her clothes.


    "Lass who doesn''t know how to appreciate favors! Want to die? It''s not going to be that easy!"


    Zhang Heng was infuriated. If Lu-er really committed suicide, he also could not escape responsibility.


    He was going to graduate soon. He did not want to lose any integrity.


    Lu-er''s actions were making him irritated.


    " Ah! " Lu-er shrieked, but she ignored the pain as she crawled forward, wanting to grab a circular blue object.


    Just as Lu-er''s hand was about to close in on it, that circular blue object was stepped underfoot by Zhang Heng.


    "Give me back the badge!" Lu-er endured the intense pain and yelled.


    Zhang Heng shifted his feet and glanced at the blue item on the ground, and it was indeed a badge. Two stars were embroidered on it. This was actually a low-rank Alchemy Master badge.


    "I thought what this is. So, it''s an Alchemy Master badge. I didn''t think that you stole something so valuable after only a few days in the academy! Just with this, it''s enough to get you expelled!"


    Zhang Heng kicked the badge far away.


    He was apparently still unaware that Ye Yuan had already passed the Alchemy Master test and officially became a low-rank Alchemy Master. Otherwise, even if he were to have an extra set of balls, he also would not dare abuse Lu-er like this.


    Looking at Zhang Heng desecrating Young Master''s badge, the pain Lu-er felt was even worse than her physical pain. Tears finally trickled down uncontrollably.


    Looking at Lu-er''s delicate and pitiful appearance, Zhang Heng could no longer hold back the beast inside him. He reached out and tore off a piece of Lu-er''s clothing.


    Afterward, he grabbed Lu-er and dragged her to a corner, and he started to make his move to violate her in broad daylight!

 Chapter 74: Soul Guiding Incense

    Chapter 74: Soul Guiding Incense


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Lu-er! Lu-er!" Ye Yuan exited and shouted for Lu-er. But there was no reply.


    Ye Yuan was very suspicious. Lu-er should have been waiting here for him to exit seclusion. Where did she go?


    Lu-er was very obedient. If there was really something, she should have left him a message. But Ye Yuan searched the place and did not find any clues.


    He also asked his neighbors, but nobody knew either.


    Zhang Heng was highly scheming. The time he picked happened to be lesson time, so basically, all the students were at class.


    Ye Yuan was in a closed-door seclusion, so she did not have any mood to attend classes. However, it just happened to give Zhang Heng the opportunity to strike.


    "Strange. Where on earth did Lu-er go? Don''t tell me someone dares to kidnap people within the Dan Wu Academy?" Ye Yuan sat down at the table and started conjecturing.


    Could Lu-er have gone to look for Tang Yu?


    In this place, Lu-er only had Tang Yu for a friend.


    Thinking of Tang Yu, Ye Yuan relaxed and was just about to leave to find Tang Yu when there was a knocking sound.


    Opening the door to take a look, who could it be except Tang Yu?


    Tang Yu saw Ye Yuan and was overjoyed. "I figured that Senior Apprentice Brother Ye should have also exited seclusion, so I came over to have a look. I didn''t think that it would be so coincidental. Yii? Y-you are already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm?!"


    Tang Yu stared with his mouth agape. Ye Yuan''s improvement was too outrageous!


    He had only broken through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm with the help of Ye Yuan''s pills not long ago.


    A month ago, when Tang Yu met Ye Yuan for the first time, he was only at the First Level Essence Qi Realm.


    A month later, Ye Yuan was already at the same cultivation realm as him!


    Thinking of how Ye Yuan killed Chou Ying with a finger, Tang Yu believed that if he fought with Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan could absolutely kill him in an instant!


    Tang Yu currently felt that the Ye Yuan in front of him was like a dragon that entered deep waters and then soared to the sky in one stroke. Nobody could stop him anymore!


    While Tang Yu was immersed in his shock, he did not notice that Ye Yuan''s facial expression did not look good.


    When Ye Yuan looked behind Tang Yu and confirmed that he came alone, his face turned ugly.


    He waved his hands and did not bother with Tang Yu''s shock. Opening his mouth, he asked, "Why did you come alone?"


    Tang Yu was stunned and asked doubtfully, "If I''m not alone, how many people could there be?"


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. "Didn''t Lu-er go and find you while I was in a closed-door seclusion these few days?"


    Tang Yu was alarmed, but he shook his head and replied, "No. I''ve also been busy these few days and did not see Lu-er. She also never came to find me. Why, did something happen to Lu-er?"


    Ye Yuan currently felt a little uneasy. "After I returned, I spent the entire time looking for her, but I couldn''t find her. I have a bad premonition. I keep feeling that something happened to her."


    "Maybe Lu-er was bored of waiting for you, and in a moment of playfulness, ran out to play. This is the Dan Wu Academy. Nothing should happen. Don''t need to worry, Brother Ye." Tang Yu reassured him.


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, "I hope so."


    The house momentarily became silent. But the uneasiness in Ye Yuan''s heart grew increasingly stronger.


    He suddenly stood up and said to Tang Yu, "Please return, Brother Tang. I''m still a little worried about Lu-er. I''m going to look for her."


    "I''ll go too. There''s a higher chance with two people searching." Tang Yu offered.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No need. Just I alone will suffice."


    After he said that, Ye Yuan casually grabbed a piece of Lu-er''s clothing and went out.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not go around hunting aimlessly. He came directly to Feng Ruoqing''s pill refinement room.


    After returning from the capital, not only did Feng Ruoqing had a cultivation realm breakthrough, her insights in the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique also grew deeper.


    Ye Yuan was in a closed-door seclusion these past few days, so she naturally hid in the pill refinement room to practice the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    Feng Ruoqing was surprised when she saw Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan did not give her a chance to speak.


    "I want to borrow your refinement room to use. Prepare a few ingredients for me!"


    Ye Yuan casually threw Feng Ruoqing a piece of paper and directly entered the pill refinement room like this refinement room belonged to him.


    Ye Yuan''s words were like issuing an order. Feng Ruoqing was very annoyed at his attitude but surprisingly did not blow her top. That was because she had never seen such a frightening expression on Ye Yuan''s face before.


    Feng Ruoqing was quick-witted and knew that something must have happened.


    "Forget it, forget it. Who asked me to owe him."


    Feng Ruoqing let out a faint sigh and really went to prepare the ingredients Ye Yuan needed like a maidservant.


    If other people saw the dignified State of Qin''s Head Princess does this sort of thing, their jaws would drop due to the shock.


    Before long, Feng Ruoqing returned. The ingredients that Ye Yuan required were all ordinary stuff and were not difficult to source. It was naturally easy to obtain with Feng Ruoqing''s status.


    Except, Feng Ruoqing was very curious about what Ye Yuan was trying to refine.


    The ingredients that Ye Yuan needed were not all herbs. There were some other items. Refining medicinal pills out of these ingredients were impossible.


    Passing the ingredients over to Ye Yuan, Feng Ruoqing could not resist asking, "There are quite a few that aren''t herbs. What are you trying to refine with these ingredients?"


    Ye Yuan received the ingredients and answered indifferently, "You don''t need to bother. Just watch. Start the fire!"


    "You! You''re really treating me like a servant?!" Feng Ruoqing could not help losing her temper. This fellow had no respect for anyone!


    "If you''re not helping, then go to one side. Don''t hold me up!" Ye Yuan words grew icier.


    Not knowing the reason Feng Ruoqing walked to the Red Lotus Cauldron and helped Ye Yuan open up the earth fire.


    Seeing the situation, Ye Yuan did not express anything. Right now, his heart was burning with anxiety. However, he knew that the more impatient he got, the more he had to keep calm and not lose his reason.


    The fire started, and Ye Yuan began to refine.


    This time around, the refinement was not earthshaking. It was only a very simple-looking refinement method. But Feng Ruoqing had never seen this sort of method before.


    Without the process of preparing the herbs nor the process of refining the medicinal essence, Ye Yuan directed the fire to temper the ingredients while looking very relaxed.


    After an hour, the result of Ye Yuan refinement appeared. It was a chalk-like item, except that its appearance was grayish-black.


    "What''s this?" Feng Ruoqing asked curiously again.


    "Soul Guiding Incense!"


    This time around, Ye Yuan did not reject answering. It was just that when he talked, he let out a long breath. His rising and falling chest showed his current state of agitation.


    "Soul Guiding Incense? What''s it used for?" Feng Ruoqing had never heard of this thing before and asked inquisitively.


    Ye Yuan did not answer but threw the Soul Guiding Incense onto the clothing that he brought along. After that, he waved a hand to draw a wisp of fire. Earth fire had an exceedingly high temperature. Lu-er''s clothes were burned into a wisp of green smoke instantly.


    However, the miraculous thing was that the green smoke condensed in mid-air and did not dissipate!


    The next instant, the green smoke moved, and Ye Yuan moved as well.


    "Where are you going?" Feng Ruoqing asked bewilderedly.


    But Ye Yuan ignored her and ran out following that strand of green smoke.


    Feng Ruoqing bit her lips as she watched. After hesitating for a moment, she also followed.

 Chapter 75: Really Want to Kill Someone!

    Chapter 75: Really Want to Kill Someone!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Lu-er used her remaining strength to struggle, but this weak struggle was futile and useless.


    Currently, her essence energy was drained. She could not even commit suicide.


    Lu-er became more and more terrified and increasingly becoming weaker.


    If she were tainted by a fellow like him, she would rather die!


    Pah!


    Zhang Heng slapped Lu-er''s face and spat as he said, "Little b*tch. You still aren''t compliant when you are already like this? You''re really asking for a beating!"


    Lu-er suffered due to that slap, and one side of her face immediately swelled up. She laid there motionlessly as if she was resigned to her fate.


    Seeing the situation, Zhang Heng gave a nasty grin and said, ''That''s right. Much better now. Don''t worry. After today, you won''t be able to leave this Senior Apprentice Brother! Hahaha!"


    After saying that, Zhang Heng leaned over to carry out that bestial act.


    But right at this moment, all the pores on Zhang Heng''s body stood on end. A feeling of danger came from straight ahead.


    Zhang Heng instinctively jumped away. An ice arrow grazed his face as it flew past.


    Luckily, his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, that ice arrow would have already pierced through his throat.


    Withdrawing to the side, Zhang Heng broke into cold sweat. Who would have thought that this lass who already did not have any strength to retaliate could actually release such a powerful attack?


    However, Zhang Heng instantly became furious. Lu-er nearly killed him!


    Lu-er struggled to get up. Presently, her entire aura had changed drastically. Her entire body gave off an ice-cold feeling.


    This sort iciness seemed like it could even freeze the air.


    A layer of white frost covered Lu-er''s hair, and her face also turned abnormally pale.


    Zhang Heng looked at Lu-er''s transformation and chortled as he said, "So, it turns out that you have the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian! You actually dared to cultivate essence energy with your Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. You really can''t tell life from death! Right now, the frost poison has burst forth, I will see how you suppress it!"


    The sun was currently shining brightly, but Lu-er felt as if her entire body was placed in an icehouse. The frost penetrated the bone and sunk in deeply.


    This was the ultimate move of the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, Profound Ice Returns to Dust!


    This move was a forbidden technique in the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul. When Ye Yuan was teaching Lu-er, he had informed her that unless she had no other alternative, she must absolutely never use it!


    That was because this move triggered the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, attracting the frost qi between heaven and earth into her body in exchange for a powerful strength temporarily.


    The name ''Returns to Dust'' meant that after using it, from ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It was a move to perish together with your enemy.


    Currently, Lu-er''s aura soared massively, directly breaking through the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm threshold, past the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, and finally stopping at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    The time Lu-er spent cultivating the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul was still too short. Even though she improved at an amazing speed, her comprehension was not that profound.


    If the Spirit Snow Divine King was the one executing the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, even if she only at the strength of a First Level Essence Qi Realm, she would be able to directly raise her strength to the Great Circle of Perfection of the Essence Qi Realm!


    Although Zhang Heng was surprised at Lu-er''s sudden rise in strength, he did not pay too much heed.


    The Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was still a minor stage lower than him!


    But he was currently livid because Lu-er nearly killed him just now, making him feel incredibly ashamed.


    That ice arrow also extinguished his lust. Right now, what he wanted to do was to send Lu-er to the afterlife.


    Directly killing was a definite no-no. He would be punished by the academy.


    But since this lass had the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, then he could not be blamed if she sought her own death.


    "Die, lecher!" Lu-er grabbed the air with one hand. An ice arrow formed once again and shot towards Zhang Heng.


    Zhang Heng laughed coldly as he easily dodged it.


    This ice arrow might have a high attacking power, but what was the use if it could not hit the target?


    He was unprepared just now, which was why Lu-er''s sneak attack almost succeeded. Now that they were fighting head-on, he naturally would not fall for it again.


    After all, Lu-er was not Ye Yuan. She lacked actual combat experience and could not control the sudden rise in strength.


    This sort of straight-forward attack obviously would not cause any trouble for the powerful Zhang Heng.


    However, Lu-er did not care. Before she activated the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, she already had the will to die.


    Lu-er believed that even if she could not kill this guy, Young Master would take revenge for her!


    "Trying to deal with me with these sort of attacks? You''re underestimating Earth Rank students'' strength too much!" Zhang Heng said with a mocking face.


    "Humph! Thousand Illusion Hail!"


    Lu-er cried out as her two hands formed a round shape.


    Very swiftly, countless stones formed between her hands. Pushing both palms out, a hailstone shot towards Zhang Heng.


    Zhang Heng was astounded. He did not think that Lu-er''s attacks would continue without end.


    This hailstone was an area-of-effect attack. Zhang Heng''s speed was fast, but he was still struck by many hailstones.


    But the attack power of this hailstone was much weaker than the previous ice arrow. Coupled with Zhang Heng''s powerful essence energy protection, these sort of attacks were unable to cause any real damage to him.


    "Humph! Don''t blame me for courting death, lass! Snake Shadow Whip!"


    Zhang Heng''s whip technique was very skillful. The whip shot towards Lu-er from a highly tricky angle.


    Right now, Lu-er knew that she was not Zhang Heng''s match, and her heart already held the will to die. She did not evade this whip at all.


    A sneer suddenly appeared on Lu-er''s face. Noticing this, Zhang Heng was startled.


    Only to see that Lu-er''s hands moved at high speed, and she actually formed multiple ice arrows in an instant!


    Lu-er did not defend at all. She was actually going to make both parties lose!


    Zhang Heng did not expect Lu-er to not fear death to such an extent. He did not want to die, so he swiftly pulled back his whip, and whirled his whip around. Very soon, the ice arrows were twirled into broken pieces.


    His strength exceeded Lu-er''s by far too much, and his combat experience was also much richer. For Lu-er to injure him head-on, it was harder than trying to reach the heaven.


    After Zhang Heng shattered the ice arrows, he struck with his whip once more.


    Lu-er''s attack just now had already exhausted all of her essence energy. Right now, she could no longer continue, so she just gave up defending and closed her eyes to wait for death.


    "Young Master, in future, Lu-er can no longer be at your side to serve you. You have to take good care of yourself!"


    Two clear streams of tears fell and froze into ice beads.


    Zhang Heng was aware that Lu-er did not fear death, but he did not expect that Lu-er looked forward to death so much that she just stopped defending.


    He did not hold back on this move. If he hit Lu-er, then she was dead for sure.


    The attack was already released, and Zhang Heng could no longer stop it anymore. Just as he watched it about to land on Lu-er, a force shot out from diagonally!


    Chi!


    The force actually directly broke the soft whip!


    Zhang Heng was horrified.


    Although his soft whip was not a magical artifact, that attack just now filled the inside of the whip with essence energy. It could pierce straight through a person, and yet, it was broken with one move by someone!


    "Who''s there? You''re really despicable to dare to ambush me!" Zhang Heng howled.


    A youth dressed in azure clothing glided over and landed beside Lu-er.


    He did not even spare a glance at Zhang Heng. Picking up Lu-er, he took out a medicinal pill for her to eat.


    "Lu-er, Young Master came late."


    Lu-er opened her eyes wearily and saw that it was Ye Yuan. A trace of light recovered within her eyes.


    "Don''t talk. Watch by the side. Young Master will stand up for you!" As he spoke, Ye Yuan''s words grew frostier.


    Ye Yuan supported Lu-er to the sides, and then he stood up straight and shouted, "Right now, I really want to kill someone! Anyone who stops me will be my enemy! I will not give up until you die!"

 Chapter 76: The Strong Breaks the Rules!

    Chapter 76: The Strong Breaks the Rules!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Right now, I really want to kill someone! Anyone who stops me will be my enemy! I will not give up until you die!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were directed toward Feng Ruoqing. He knew that Feng Ruoqing also came.


    If Feng Ruoqing makes a move, it would be impossible for him to kill Zhang Heng.


    This was a warning!


    Nobody responded, but this was already a sort of tacit consent.


    Zhang Heng burst out laughing like he had just heard a hilarious joke. "Hahaha . . . . . . Kill me? You''re that Ye Yuan, right? Just you, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, wants to jump ranks to kill me? You two, master and servant, are equally unable to gauge your strength!"


    Ye Yuan did not show any reaction and said coolly, "Are you acting on your own? Or is there somebody instigating you? Speak, and I will spare your life!"


    Ye Yuan had no connections with this Zhang Heng. It was even more unlikely for Lu-er to provoke anyone, so he did not believe that Zhang Heng would force Lu-er to such a desperate situation for no reason whatsoever.


    Just now, Zhang Heng recognized Ye Yuan immediately with a glance. This further confirmed his conjecture.


    "What a joke! You, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, are so f*cking arrogant! You think that after passing the Black Rank Advancement test and increasing your cultivation realm, you have the capital to challenge veteran Earth Rank students? Spare my life? Why don''t you try for me to see?!"


    Although Zhang Heng was astonished by Ye Yuan''s advancement speed, he did not feel that he could threaten him.


    He was three minor cultivation realms above Ye Yuan, and they were separated by a minor stage. This sort of difference in power was not so easily bridged.


    Zhang Heng admitted that Ye Yuan was a genius. But who among those who could enter the Dan Wu Academy and become an Earth Rank student was not a genius among geniuses?


    Ye Yuan sighed, and he said calmly, "One really can''t communicate with an imbecile. Since you don''t want to talk, then I will beat you until you do."


    Ye Yuan did not waste his breath. He raised his hand and executed Stacking Waves Layered Palm.


    Eight Layer Wave!


    "Humph! Reckless punk. You dare to look down on me and only use one hand?!"


    Zhang Heng naturally would not fold his hands and await death. He threw his weapon aside and also used his bare hands.


    "Prajna Palm!"


    Zhang Heng raised his hands to unleash a high-rank martial technique.


    Zhang Heng had spent a great deal of time and effort on this Prajna Palm and trained it to the Great Success stage. Furthermore, he struck out with both palms together, so the amount of essence energy used was much greater.


    Zhang Heng curled the corner of his mouth as if seeing the image of Ye Yuan being heavily injured.


    Three palms collided, but the events did not play out as Zhang Heng imagined. He felt a colossal force coming from the Ye Yuan''s palm, which immediately passed through his two hands and spread throughout his entire body.


    "Puu!" Zhang Heng gave a muffled groan, and blood sprayed out wildly from his mouth. His entire body flew out like he was heavily struck.


    "Now, will you talk?" Ye Yuan continued speaking calmly without any trace of emotion.


    The palm that Ye Yuan unleashed in anger was the Eight Layer Wave!


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eight Layer Wave. This was a palm technique that could even finish off a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and Zhang Heng chose to receive it head-on foolishly. There would be no justice if he did not die.


    But Ye Yuan deliberately held back on this move and only heavily injured Zhang Heng. The intention was to find out who was the mastermind.


    Ye Yuan took two steps forward and walked to Zhang Heng''s side. Looking down on him, he asked icily, "Now, will you talk?"


    "Puu!" Zhang Heng coughed up another mouthful of blood.


    Right now, his arms were broken, and his internal organs also suffered extremely serious injuries. He looked incredibly wretched. If he did not receive medical treatment, he would soon die without Ye Yuan needing to move.


    "Talk . . . Talk my *ss! Ha . . . haha . . . If you have the ability, then kill me! The Dan Wu Academy''s rules state that students cannot kill one another! Come then! Kill me!" Zhang Heng''s blood stained his teeth as he laughed miserably.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhang Heng pitifully, and he said coldly, "Rules? Rules are only used to restrict mediocre people like you. A true powerhouse will break all the rules and establish his own rules! Someone like you can only live under other people''s rules forever. How pitiful!"


    "Hahaha! Who doesn''t know how to brag? If you have the balls, then try breaking the rules for me to see! A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm punk talking nonsense about breaking the rules. What a joke!"


    Zhang Heng clearly did not believe that Ye Yuan dared to go against the academy''s rules. That was because, in the academy''s history, all those who broke the rules were sentenced to death!


    Except for that person!


    "Is that so? Then I will break the rules now. Except . . . you won''t be able to see it."


    Ye Yuan raised his hand again, and essence energy hovered faintly within his palm.


    At this moment, Zhang Heng could clearly sense the killing intent coming off of Ye Yuan.


    To Ye Yuan, Lu-er was one of his closest loved ones, and Zhang Heng dared to force her until she used the Profound Ice Returns to Dust. Even his death was insufficient!


    In his precious life, Ye Yuan did not have the ability to protect his loved ones. In this life, he was set on never letting his loved ones come to harm. But he did not expect to encounter something like this.


    Ye Yuan''s self-condemnation had already surpassed his fury!


    This palm slapped downwards without any hesitation. Zhang Heng no longer doubted Ye Yuan''s determination.


    "I''ll talk! I''ll talk! Don''t kill me! I-I was only under someone''s instigation!" Zhang Heng finally could not withstand the pressure, and hurriedly shouted.


    "Talk!" Ye Yuan did not shift his palm. He was waiting for Zhang Heng''s answer.


    "I''ll talk, but you have to promise not to kill me. Otherwise, I''d rather die than say!" Zhang Heng painfully made his decision and threatened him.


    "Is that so? Then bring it with you inside your coffin!" Ye Yuan channeled his palm strength and moved a little closer to Zhang Heng.


    "Don''t don''t don''t! I''ll talk, I''ll talk! I-its Senior Apprentice Brother Lin Tiancheng who instructed me. I was only obeying him! He''s the head student of the General Affairs Department, so I can''t disobey him! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I beg you, let me go. I will definitely help you testify against Lin Tiancheng!"


    God knows where Zhang Heng got the strength from, to manage to crawl up and grab hold of Ye Yuan''s leg as he cried out.


    "Good. You can die now!"


    Ye Yuan''s palm struck down, and Zhang Heng died without even making any sound.


    Regardless of whether he was obeying others or not, he deserved to die ten thousand times over just for forcing Lu-er to such a state!


    "Lin Tiancheng?" Ye Yuan thought for a moment and recalled who this Lin Tiancheng was.


    He did not think that it was actually such a minor character that made Lu-er end up in such a sorry state. If he knew this beforehand, he would have taken preventive measures.


    Right at this moment, Lu-er''s movement alerted Ye Yuan. He quickly rushed over to Lu-er.


    Lu-er already had no more strength to stand up. She was currently crawling forward!


    "Lu-er, what are you doing?! If there''s anything, just tell me! I will do it for you!" Ye Yuan shouted as he rushed over.


    Lu-er continued moving forward bit by bit and finally crawled in front of that blue color badge.


    She reached out to grab that Alchemy Master badge and held it against her chest as if that blue badge was her everything.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly picked up Lu-er. After Lu-er got the badge, she could finally no longer hold on and fainted. Except, she still had a hint of a smile on her face, looking completely satisfied.


    Looking at the object in Lu-er''s hand, he could not help feeling his heart ached.


    An insignificant badge to him was cherished so deeply by Lu-er!


    "Thank you, Lu-er. Let''s go home!"

    Chapter 77: Have You All Thought Things Through?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Why did you have to do that? According to the academy''s rules, killing fellow students is the death penalty!"


    Feng Ruoqing gave a faint sigh as she revealed herself and blocked Ye Yuan''s path.


    Ye Yuan stopped, and then he retorted, "If Feng Zhirou ended up like this because of someone, what would you do?"


    ". . ."


    Feng Ruoqing was speechless. The answer was obvious.


    "Those people were sentenced to death because they weren''t talented enough. If they had sufficient potential and had adequate strength, I think the academy would not kill them, but instead, heavily nurture them, right?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Ye Yuan''s words were sufficiently arrogant. But what he said was logical and natural!


    Regardless of whether it was his past life or this life, Ye Yuan could look down proudly on all the pinnacle geniuses under the heavens!


    Just imagine how great of a genius he was to have been hailed as the one most likely to breakthrough to the Alchemy God realm in the Divine Realm, where geniuses were as many as oxen hair.


    Now that he transmigrated and lived once more, why would he give a shit about this tiny State of Qin?


    Feng Ruoqing remained silent for a while, but she still nodded and said, "It''s like you said. In reality, there are still people who weren''t killed, but instead, became heavily groomed by the academy. Five years ago, a shockingly dazzling figure appeared in the academy. But because his brother was bullied by someone, he killed a student in a fit of rage. The outcome was that not only did the academy not dole out punishment, but he was also groomed heavily."


    "Haha. Sure enough! Then what are you worried about? Don''t tell me I''m inferior to him?"


    Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said slowly, "Because you aren''t killing only one person!"


    "Just a bunch of trash. If they''re killed, then they''re killed." Ye Yuan could not care less.


    Anyone who dared to touch the people he treasured dearly, would have to be prepared to be killed. A tiny little Lin Tiancheng, if he was killed, then he was killed. What else could they do?


    "But I''ve heard of this Lin Tiancheng before. He''s a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. Even though you advanced amazingly fast, are you his match? If you won, then that''s fine. But if you lost, some people would not let you off so easily."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and did not explain anything. He just passed Lu-er over to Feng Ruoqing.


    "If you treat me as a friend, then just help me take good care of Lu-er."


    Feng Zhirou did not know why, but when she heard these words, she felt delighted in her heart.


    Ye Yuan was clearly her student. Was it not strange to be friends? But why was it so natural?


    "I''m your teacher!" Feng Zhirou put on a solemn face and said.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands like he was not willing to get tangled up on this question.


    "Support Lu-er up. I''m going to help her suppress the frost poison in her body. Otherwise, she might not survive the night."


    Feng Ruoqing obeyed and lifted Lu-er up properly. Ye Yuan then rapidly struck over a dozen points on Lu-er''s body. After that, he lifted up her palm and transferred his own essence energy over.


    In terms of extreme yang and strength, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art that Ye Yuan cultivated was a cultivation law which pushed them to the extremity.


    When compared to his cultivation law, the cultivation law Feng Zhirou trained in was like a small witch meeting a great sorcerer.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy was incomparably thick, making it perfect for suppressing the Nine Yin Frost Poison. But this could only treat the symptoms and not the root of the problem.


    A Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian was an innate Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. Once the frost poison erupted, it would be like an ice blackhole, automatically sucking all the surrounding cold qi into the body, extremely terrifying.


    No matter how powerful Ye Yuan''s essence energy was, it could not contend with the heaven and earth cold yin power. It could only temporarily suppress the frost poison in Lu-er''s body.


    After Ye Yuan withdrew his hand, Lu-er''s face became rosier. But she was still unconscious.


    "I''ll leave Lu-er to you. I''m going to kill some people!" After saying this, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    . . . . . .


    The entrance of the General Affairs Department was a rather busy place with streams of people coming and going.


    Ye Yuan stepped past the doorway but was stopped by two students.


    "What rank are you? What''s your purpose of coming to the General Affairs Department?" one of the students questioned him.


    They did not stop everyone they saw. A single look and they could tell Ye Yuan did not appear friendly, and that something was wrong. That was why he was stopped.


    "To kill people!"


    Those three words casually popped out from Ye Yuan''s mouth, sending a chill down the backs of the two students who heard it.


    "A-are you joking?! The Dan Wu Academy forbids students from privately committing murder. Are you trying to violate the academy''s rules?"


    This student was also at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, but under Ye Yuan''s pressure, his essence energy showed signs of becoming unstable.


    "I don''t have time to joke with you. Where''s Lin Tiancheng? Ask him to come out and die!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Were you hit on the head? Quickly leave! If you still don''t go, then we won''t be courteous!" The other person was slightly better, and he just wanted to chase Ye Yuan away.


    A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm talking nonsense about wanting to kill a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm expert. If his brain were not damaged, then what was it?


    Ye Yuan simply ignored these two people and directly forced his way through between the two of them.


    These two people were in charge of guarding the entrance, so they naturally could not let Ye Yuan in like this. Hence, they used all of their power to try to stop Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    Their hands did not even touch Ye Yuan before they were sent flying a long way out by the essence energy Ye Yuan released, which automatically opened up a pathway.


    Even though they were similarly at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, the difference was too huge!


    The thickness of Ye Yuan''s essence energy was multiple times that of the same realm. How could these two people possibly be Ye Yuan''s match?


    "S-someone''s causing trouble. Stop him! Quick! Notify Senior Apprentice Brother Lin!"


    One of the students was very dedicated to his job. After landing on the ground, he ignored the pain on his body and shouted loudly.


    The activity outside alarmed the people inside. Now that he shouted like that, the students who just came out immediately knew what happened.


    An Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm student came up to stop Ye Yuan. He rebuked angrily, "Who are you? How audacious. Do you know what place this is to actually dare to cause trouble here?!"


    Ye Yuan did not bother with him and continued walking forward.


    "Courting death!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s supercilious attitude, that student immediately raged. He forced his way forward, wanting to teach Ye Yuan a lesson.


    Ye Yuan casually unleashed a palm, and that student flew out, landing heavily against the wall before he stopped.


    "Siiii . . ."


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath!


    Ye Yuan clearly only had the strength of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, but a casual palm had such power, to send an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm flying.


    It was very obvious that Ye Yuan already showed mercy. Otherwise, that Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm student would be a dead man right now.


    "Stacking Waves Layered Palm! H-he''s Ye Yuan!"


    Right then, someone in the crowd recognized Ye Yuan''s palm technique, and he immediately deduced Ye Yuan''s identity.


    There was only one person who could casually unleash the Stacking Waves Layered Palm within the Dan Wu Academy, and that was Ye Yuan.


    Other than him, even Head Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang could not do it!


    "Quick! Quickly inform Senior Apprentice Brother Lin! Say that Ye Yuan came to the General Affairs Department to make trouble! Let''s stop him together. I don''t believe that so many of us can''t even handle a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!" a student who seemed to be a student manager shouted out.


    As expected, the others also perked up after his speech.


    That''s right. No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he was still only one person. Many among them were Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm, and quite a few were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. How could he defeat so many people?


    Ye Yuan swept his gaze across everyone, making everybody shuddered.


    "Have you all thought things through? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I''m only looking for Lin Tiancheng alone. Are you all sure you want to be accomplices?" Ye Yuan asked calmly.

 Chapter 78: Despicable Lin Tiancheng

    Chapter 78: Despicable Lin Tiancheng


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Dan Wu Academy''s General Affairs Department was segmented into the inner court, middle court, and outer court.


    The outer court was where students received jobs. The middle court was where the student managers of the General Affairs Department managed work. The inner court was where important figures dealt with businesses.


    Presently, Lin Tiancheng was in the inner court assigning tasks to the student managers.


    "All of you, quickly handle the matters that I just instructed! Supervision of newly admitted students has to be reinforced. Make them obey submissively. If anyone causes trouble, then just directly suppress them. There''s no need to be polite!"


    Lin Tiancheng was issuing orders to a bunch of people with the air of someone of the upper echelon.


    "Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin. We will do it right away!" Finishing, several people turned around and left.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A frantic knocking was heard.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" Outside the door, a student kicked up a racket, making Lin Tiancheng frown.


    Lin Tiancheng had always been very strict with the rules. People at the lower levels had never dared to cause such a ruckus when entering. Today, there was actually someone who collided head-on with the tip of the spear!


    Creak!


    The door was opened by a student manager who reprimanded angrily. "What''s the commotion about? Don''t you know that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is busy? Is your skin itching for a whipping?"


    That student ignored him and just went around him, crying to Lin Tiancheng, "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, something bad has happened! That Ye Yuan is currently causing a commotion outside the department. Senior Apprentice Brother Hu went up to stop him, but was sent flying with a slap! He even said . . . he even said . . ."


    When Lin Tiancheng heard Ye Yuan''s name, his face immediately fell.


    Looks like he found out about Lu-er being bullied by Zhang Heng, and the flames of fury attacked his heart, which was why he came to the General Affairs Department to cause such an upheaval.


    Thinking of this, Lin Tiancheng gave a cold laugh. "Do you all just eat rice and do nothing? Just a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm managed to frighten you all until this manner? That Hu Tie is also a trash, to be sent flying with a single slap from a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, Ye Yuan, h-he isn''t only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    "Mmm? Not only Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? Don''t tell me he really entered closed-seclusion to breakthrough to the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm?"


    "A-also not the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm." That student shook his head like a rattle drum.


    Looking at this appearance, Lin Tiancheng became infuriated. "Can you not talk like you are out of breath?! Just what''s Ye Yuan strength? He can''t have been in a closed-door seclusion for a few days and reached the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, right?"


    This time around, that student''s head was like a chicken pecking for rice as he nodded non-stop. "T-that''s right! Ye Yuan is already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "What?!"


    Including Lin Tiancheng, all the student managers in the room were astonished.


    They were, of course, aware of what strength Ye Yuan possessed. Around ten days ago, Ye Yuan had just made Lin Tiancheng lose face greatly. Back then, he was still at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Just a mere ten days or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm?


    He jumped from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Third Level Essence Qi Realm. Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm could also be jumped?


    Just what was happening to this world?


    The crux was that not only did Ye Yuan increase his cultivation realm extremely fast, his strength also improved by leaps and bounds.


    Did they not just hear what this punk said? He sent Hu Tie flying with one slap! Hu Tie was an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm, and he could not even take a hit. Would that not mean that Ye Yuan possessed at least the strength of a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm?


    After the shock, Lin Tiancheng''s face grew darker.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan would have the power to threaten him so fast. It looked like it was already hopeless for Zhang Heng.


    "Humph! Just Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm! You are all veteran Earth rank students. Don''t tell me every one of you are scared of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm? Are you all even Dan Wu Academy''s students? You, go out and tell them to attack together! If they can''t even restrain a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, then what does the General Affairs Department need them for?" Lin Tiancheng shamelessly used the people outside as his shield.


    Lin Tiancheng was not really scared of Ye Yuan. But if he could use those people outside to diminish Ye Yuan''s battle strength, then why not?"


    . . . . . .


    "Have you all thought things through? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I''m only looking for Lin Tiancheng alone. Are you all sure you want to be accomplices?"


    Ye Yuan took a step forward. The students outside the department were affected by his aura and retreated a step in unison.


    Ye Yuan took another step forward, and the crowd stepped back once more.


    A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm managed to force a group of Seventh and Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm students back!


    If this were spread outside, there would no longer be a need for the General Affairs Department to exist.


    Right at this moment, the student who went to report to Lin Tiancheng just now rushed back. "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin said to attack together and take him down first! He''s just at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. If you all can''t deal with this, then what do we need you for? If you all can''t take down Ye Yuan, then forget about working in the General Affairs Department in the future!"


    Once these words were out, everyone''s faces changed.


    Lin Tiancheng had always lived up to his words. He would really replace all these people!


    Most of these Earth Rank students had no hope of advancing to the Heaven Rank, so they stayed here to do some work and fish for some benefits.


    If they did not work here, then they could possibly end up doing manual labor.


    That was obviously a result they did not wish to see!


    "Fine! I don''t believe that so many of us here can''t take care of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    "Everyone, attack!"


    Everybody gathered, surrounding Ye Yuan in the center.


    Ye Yuan did not stop them, and let them surround him.


    Finally, these people could no longer resist attacking Ye Yuan!


    From the front, an Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm student stabbed his sword towards Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan reached out and flicked a finger. That long sword immediately flew out of his hand.


    Another slap, and that Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm was sent flying.


    At the same time, a palm attack came from the back. It was like eyes were growing behind Ye Yuan as he evaded it by slightly shifting his body. Then, he slammed his arm backward, and that person also went airborne.


    For some time, the surroundings were filled with attacks, but nobody was able to really threaten Ye Yuan.


    Not only were they unable to pose any threat, Ye Yuan even moved forward as he fought. He was about to push past the outer court.


    People could be seen flying continuously out of the group surrounding Ye Yuan and landing heavily on the ground.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan broke past these people''s defense and passed through the outer court.


    The majority of these people were at the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm and the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm. To the current Ye Yuan, there was completely no threat. Where his palm wind reached, a series of wailing sounded.


    The outer court was strewn with people lying on the ground and crying out shrilly.


    Ye Yuan did not stop. Grabbing a sword, he advanced inside like that with the sword in his hand.


    Entering the middle court, another group of people surrounded him. These people were the student managers of the General Affairs Department. Each one of them was like Zhang Heng; all existences of the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was the pinnacle of existence in the Essence Qi Realm. It represented the apex of the Essence Qi Realm. Their strength was also much stronger than the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Ye Yuan would not care about a single person. But there were around seven or eight people now. They would not be a minor force anywhere.


    Ye Yuan looked at them and smiled coldly as he said, "You guys are really loyal dogs. Wherever Lin Tiancheng points to, you guys would strike there! My words still remain the same. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I only want to kill Lin Tiancheng alone! If you want to be a dog, then you''d better be prepared to get beat up!"

 Chapter 79: You Don’t Have the Heart of a Powerhouse!

    Chapter 79: You Don��t Have the Heart of a Powerhouse!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What a joke! In the Dan Wu Academy, nobody has ever dared to harp on about killing someone. I think you must be f*cking ballsy!" 1


    Everyone found it extremely comical to see Ye Yuan behave so arrogantly.


    One could fight in the Dan Wu Academy and could also arrange for a deathmatch. But nobody had ever dared to talk about killing someone in such a dignified manner.


    The way they saw it, Ye Yuan was obviously posturing and wanted to use this sort of threat to force them back.


    Ye Yuan adjusted his sword in a showy manner and said coldly, "Since that''s the case, then there''s nothing to talk about. I''ll just have to beat up the guard dogs before going to beat the owner."


    With those words, Ye Yuan did not hesitate and then charged into the group with his sword.


    Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was executed, and his entire being became a series of afterimages as he passed through these people.


    These student managers were all at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Apart from Heaven Rank students and a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm like Lin Tiancheng, they were virtually undefeatable existences in the Dan Wu Academy.


    But at this moment, they made a woeful discovery. They could not even touch the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeves.


    Ye Yuan''s body moved elegantly like countless falling petals, completely traceless.


    These student managers were after all Ninth Level Essence Qi Realms, three minor cultivation realms above Ye Yuan. Wanting to defeat them was not so simple.


    Ye Yuan could naturally use brute force to deal with these people. But he did not wish to reveal his trump card too early.


    In the entire academy, apart from Feng Ruoqing who saw him use the Eight Layer Wave to kill Zhang Heng just now, nobody was aware that he could use the Eight Layer Wave.


    Lin Tiancheng was ultimately a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. There was almost a major cultivation realm between him and Ye Yuan. It would not be a good thing if he got to know of his trump card beforehand.


    Using the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword to deal with the enemies could conserve essence energy and also numb his opponent. So why not?


    Even though Ye Yuan''s flames of fury was soaring to the sky right now, he did not lose his reason.


    If he did not even have this shrewdness after living two lifetimes, then it was all wasted.


    The Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was created by imitating falling flowers. It paid particular attention to flowing with the wind naturally and elegantly, very economical on the usage of essence energy.


    Of course, the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was not without weaknesses. The drawback was insufficient attack power.


    But in this sort of situation, Ye Yuan did not require much attack power.


    He made use of the elegant and nimble movements to give these students some injuries every now and then. As time passed, their combat power dropped drastically.


    "Aiyo! My arm!"


    "Ah! My leg!"


    The curdling screams carried on incessantly. Unwittingly, many injuries had appeared on these student managers'' bodies.


    "Just what kind of a freak is this guy? Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm and he is this powerful!"


    "Stop! Stop! We admit defeat!"


    "That''s right! Quickly stop! We surrender!"


    One person was the first to speak, and everyone else''s spirit immediately collapsed. Everyone quickly laid down their arms and surrendered.


    After breaking through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, it would be tough for Ye Yuan to find an opponent in the Essence Qi Realm anymore.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not slaughter everyone in a frenzy. Seeing that these people had the intention to back away, he threw down the sword in his hand indifferently and headed inside to the inner court.


    Grabbing a student doing chores in the inner court and forcing him to lead the way, Ye Yuan went to where Lin Tiancheng was.


    Ye Yuan kicked the door wide open with a leg, but the room was already empty, and Lin Tiancheng could not be seen anywhere.


    The back window was opened. Clearly, Lin Tiancheng escaped from here.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and took out a stick of Soul Guiding Incense. He came to the table and casually took up a book to burn. The Soul Guiding Incense became a wisp of green smoke and went with the wind.


    A martial artist''s divine soul was powerful and would leave behind the scent of their soul in places where they frequently stopped by. The Soul Guiding Incense could differentiate these soul scents and track him down.


    When powerful martial artists were fleeing, they would conceal the scent of their soul. Hence, the use of the Soul Guiding Incense was not great. In his past life, Ye Yuan only found it fun, so he researched it a bit.


    But Lin Tiancheng evidently did not know how to hide the scent of his soul. It was useless no matter where he fled to.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s performance truly astonished Lin Tiancheng. Seven to eight Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm martial artists were defeated just like chopping vegetables.


    Although he did not believe Ye Yuan could really defeat him, at the very least, Ye Yuan already possessed the power to fight with him!


    Lin Tiancheng was one of those typical examples of people who bullied the weak but feared the strong. So he chose to run away.


    Ye Yuan had already wholly overturned the General Affairs Department. As long as the instructors found out about this matter, he would definitely be expelled. Hence, he had no need to fight it out with Ye Yuan.


    Right now, he was going to the back of the mountain to tattle to the instructor!


    "What a brainless fellow! So what if he''s a genius? Isn''t he still screwed over by me, Lin Tiancheng?" Being pleased with himself, the smile on Lin Tiancheng''s face could not be concealed no matter what.


    Lin Tiancheng who was gloating did not notice that a wisp of green smoke spun a few rounds above his head, which then disappeared.


    The next moment, Lin Tiancheng''s smile froze on his face. That was because his path ahead was blocked by someone. And that someone blocking him was precisely that hateful Ye Yuan.


    How was this possible?


    How did he know that I was here?


    Ye Yuan just stood in front of him coldly without even hiding his killing intent.


    Unknowingly, fear started to take place in Lin Tiancheng''s heart as he looked at Ye Yuan''s expression.


    "Ye Yuan, don''t push me too far! Do you really think that I''m scared of you?" Lin Tiancheng was livid, trying to use this to cover up his guilt.


    "Aren''t you the one who forced me? Congratulations. You''ve succeeded in infuriating me. And the price for that is your life!" Ye Yuan spoke slowly without any trace of emotion.


    "Haha! You really don''t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth! Don''t tell me that you forgot what this place is? The Dan Wu Academy has never tolerated students killing students. Violators are sentenced to death! Do you wish to go against the academy''s rules with your own strength?" Lin Tiancheng guffawed.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed as he said, "You''re really the same as that guy in the medicine garden, treating the academy''s rules as your protective talisman! It''s because something like the academy''s rules that you guys dared to touch my people, right?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s sigh, Lin Tiancheng suddenly felt a chill arise from the bottom of his heart, and the ominous feeling in his heart would not go away.


    "W-what did you do to Zhang Heng?"


    "Don''t you know the answer already?" Ye Yuan replied calmly as if he did something not even worth mentioning.


    Lin Tiancheng was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and cried out in shock, "Y-you really killed Zhang Heng? You really dare to kill people?! Are you insane? You''ll be put to death! Hahaha! You are dead, Ye Yuan!"


    Ye Yuan let out another sigh and said, "So weak. All you talk about is the academy''s rules. No wonder you kept failing the Earth Rank Advancement test. It''s because . . . you don''t have the heart of a powerhouse!"


    Lin Tiancheng trembled. Ye Yuan''s words directly struck his trauma and exposed his weakest area!


    "You think that you''re very exalted being the head student of the General Affairs Department. In reality, it''s displaying your weakness! How many of the students who passed the Earth Rank Advancement test came out of there? I came to kill you, but you made your subordinates become your fodders. Finally, you flee without fighting. You don''t even dare to fight once. You want to tell the instructor that I''m causing a commotion at the general affairs, right? You are basically a coward! Someone like you would never become a true powerhouse!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Tiancheng''s spirit one blow after another, leaving him short on breath.

 Chapter 80: Battling Lin Tiancheng!

    Chapter 80: Battling Lin Tiancheng!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Shut up! A puny Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm dares to talk crap about being a powerhouse in front of me? What a joke!"


    Lin Tiancheng finally lost it and dismissed Ye Yuan''s words.


    "Is that so? Then what are you scared of? Quickly come and finish off me, this puny Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!" Ye Yuan words were filled with countless mocking.


    "Humph! You think I can''t detect such a low level goading action? Fine! I will do as you wish today, and let you witness what are a true expert is!"


    Finishing, Lin Tiancheng''s half-step Spirit Condensation Realm aura was released and smashed towards Ye Yuan.


    Lin Tiancheng was not stupid. His biggest advantage was cultivation realm, so he obviously had to make good use of it.


    A Spirit Condensation Realm could rely solely on his realm''s pressure to make an Essence Qi Realm''s essence energy slow down and become stagnant. Although his half-step Spirit Condensation Realm could not fully unleash the pressure of a Spirit Condensation Realm, it already had quite a bit of power.


    Spirit Condensation Realm, was actually compressing the essence energy within the Dantian to its limits, achieving the realm where the accumulated qi becomes liquid; it was a one-time advancement of the body''s essence energy.


    Hence, regardless of whether in terms of quantity or quality, a Spirit Condensation Realm''s essence energy greatly surpassed that of normal essence energy!


    Wanting to defeat a Spirit Condensation Realm with the strength of essence energy was an extremely tough thing to do. One either required extremely powerful martial techniques to bridge the difference in cultivation realm or use heaven-defying medicinal pills to compensate for the difference in power.


    But regardless of the method used, the prerequisite was that this method was able to compensate for the difference in power between an Essence Qi Realm and a Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The so-called half-step Spirit Condensation Realm meant that the martial artist was in the process of liquefying their accumulated qi and already partially had the power of a Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The power of a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was already sufficient to crush any Essence Qi Realm martial artist.


    Lin Tiancheng was pretty talented. He could have broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm long ago but had always suppressed his strength at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm for the Earth Rank Advancement test.


    However, his comprehension was still a little lacking, so he had been unable to advance his martial technique''s mastery. Hence, he had no way of jumping ranks to defeat the five black-clothed Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    After all, he was only half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. There was still a very large gap compared to a true Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Seeing Lin Tiancheng used his cultivation realm''s suppression to deal with him, Ye Yuan laughed coldly.


    "Trying to use cultivation to suppress me? It''s a shame that your cultivation realm is too low!"


    If a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above used this move to deal with him, it would really be troublesome. But a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm doing it was basically trying to scratch an itch through one''s boots.


    Ye Yuan fully released the essence energy in his body right then, and his aura soared, pushing Lin Tiancheng''s aura back!


    Only an instant had passed, and these two people''s auras were matched with each other''s. Neither of them was able to do anything to the other!


    This was originally a noisy place, and now, many students gathered to gawk. When they saw that Ye Yuan''s aura was evenly matched with Lin Tiancheng''s aura, they were stunned speechless.


    "No way. Is that Ye Yuan really only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm?"


    "Absolutely! He can actually be evenly matched with Senior Apprentice Brother Lin under the suppression of cultivation realm. This is too sick!"


    "Doesn''t this mean that his power''s no less than a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm?"


    "That should be it theoretically. But doesn''t that mean that even though Ye Yuan is only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, the thickness of his essence energy was already not inferior to a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm? I-isn''t this too ridiculous!"


    Of course, this was not a joke. The thickness of Ye Yuan''s essence energy was really terrifying!


    Since the start of First Level Essence Qi Realm, the essence energy that Ye Yuan consumed during cultivation was several times of others.


    Under the accumulation of so many realms, the density of Ye Yuan''s essence energy was already pretty impressive. That was why he could stand up to Lin Tiancheng in terms of aura.


    The density of essence energy was not about having a large reserve, but rather, having the purity of essence energy, which greatly surpassed that of the same realm.


    As an example, Ye Yuan and some other Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm executed the same martial technique. Other people required one unit of essence energy, while Ye Yuan only needed one-third of a unit or even a fifth!


    This was why Ye Yuan was powerful!


    Seeing Ye Yuan not losing in terms of aura, Lin Tiancheng''s expression became extremely ugly.


    Since he could not suppress Ye Yuan using cultivation realm, Lin Tiancheng could only fight directly with him!


    However, Ye Yuan knew an abnormal martial technique like the Stacking Waves Layered Palm. A moment of lapse, and it would be serious injuries, possibly even death!


    At this moment, Lin Tiancheng naturally would not naively believe that Ye Yuan would have any qualms about some rules.


    This was a life and death match!


    "Humph! So what if your aura is strong? Today, I will let you witness just what a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm is! Thunderous Fist!"


    Lin Tiancheng''s punch struck towards Ye Yuan. There were even traces of electricity on the fist. It was precisely a superior-grade Tier 1 martial technique which Ye Yuan saw in the Scripture Library, the Thunderous Fist!


    The power of a superior-grade Tier 1 martial technique unleashed by a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was truly terrifying.


    Although this punch did not smash towards them, the surrounding students similarly felt enormous pressure, let alone Ye Yuan who was receiving it directly.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin''s Thunderous Fist is really scary. I''m afraid it''s already trained to the great success stage."


    "Yeah. Even though that punch wasn''t aimed at me, I still feel short of breath now. He''s really worthy of being the strongest in the Earth ranking. How frightening!"


    "Ye Yuan''s really straining himself! At any rate, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. How could he be defeated so easily?"


    "Listening to their conversation just now, it''s actually a deathmatch. Just what kind of deep hatred do they have with each other? Even if they really killed the other party, they also can''t escape the academy''s punishment!"


    "Why do you care so much? Since there''s a show, just watch. It won''t implicate you anyway."


    Ye Yuan also felt the pressure coming head-on while facing Lin Tiancheng''s lightning-attribute martial technique.


    A Half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was indeed powerful!


    Ye Yuan did not choose to clash head-on with Lin Tiancheng but decided to evade instead.


    Ye Yuan''s feet shifted and executed Instant Flash, vanishing in a blink of an eye, leaving behind an afterimage where he was initially at.


    Lin Tiancheng''s punch was halfway there when he saw this. He laughed coldly and said, "Afterimage? Humph! Paltry tricks! Seven-Star Steps!"


    Lin Tiancheng also disappeared halfway.


    "Low-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Seven-Star Steps! Ye Yuan''s in danger!"


    "That''s right. Tier 2 martial technique is too much of a bully!"


    The crowd exclaimed in shock.


    Seven-Star Steps was a low-grade Tier 2 martial technique, while Instant Flash was only a middle-grade Tier 1 martial technique. The difference between the two was enormous!


    Tier 2 martial techniques were mostly used employed with Spirit Condensation Realm''s essence energy. The effects were naturally different from Tier 1 martial techniques which were activated with essence energy of the Essence Qi Realm.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s Instant Flash had already transcended the boundaries of Great Circle stage and reached the Breaking Illusion stage, it was still inferior to a Tier 2 martial technique. After all, the grade of Instant Flash was too low.


    Ye Yuan revealed himself, and at the same time, sensed an extreme danger coming from the back.


    Having no time to think, he used Instant Flash once more and vanished on the spot.


    However, that sense of danger did not fade and kept latching on him like a parasitic maggot.


    Only now did Ye Yuan realize that he underestimated Lin Tiancheng. The strongest among Earth Ranks was not for a laugh. His power was already bordering close to Heaven Rank and was much stronger than the average First Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Judging based on the Illusionary Spirit Tower''s standards, Lin Tiancheng could most likely finish off four black-clothed martial artists with only a narrow margin away from passing the test.

 Chapter 81: Unfavorable Situation!

    Chapter 81: Unfavorable Situation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Come on! The General Affair Department''s head student, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, and that genius Earth rank student who''s recently in the limelight, Ye Yuan, started fighting. There''s going to be a great show to watch!"


    "Ye Yuan? Isn''t he only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm? Senior Apprentice Brother Lin was already at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm a long time ago. How could Ye Yuan possibly be his match?"


    "Are you stupid? Didn''t Ye Yuan enter a closed-door seclusion a few days ago? He exited seclusion and is already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "W-what? Closed-seclusion for a few days and Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm? That fellow is seriously a freak! But even if he''s at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, he couldn''t possibly be Senior Apprentice Brother Lin''s match, right?"


    "Who knows? I also just heard from other people. There seems to be some great enmity between the two of them, which provoked Ye Yuan so much so that he wants to kill Senior Apprentice Brother Lin even knowing the academy''s rule!"


    "There''s such a thing? Come! Let''s quickly go look!"


    The news of Ye Yuan and Lin Tiancheng''s deathmatch quickly spread throughout the entire Dan Wu Academy. Two students debated over it for a while in a corner of the academy and then they rushed over to watch the show.


    But their discussion reached another person''s ear. Wan Yuan just happened to be nearby, and when he heard these two people''s conversation, a hint of a cold smile flashed across his face.


    He did not think that Lin Tiancheng was so daring, to actually directly provoke Ye Yuan to violate the academy''s rules!


    Now, no matter whether it was Ye Yuan who killed Lin Tiancheng or Lin Tiancheng who killed Ye Yuan, he could sit there and enjoy the fisherman''s gains!


    Previously, he let Liu Ruoshui goaded Lin Tiancheng on, and that fellow really fell for it.


    Lin Tiancheng was narrow-minded. Just by sowing discord slightly, he became jealous and hated Ye Yuan.


    Wan Yuan was still having a headache these two days as Ye Yuan''s improvement became increasingly faster. Not only was he reaching Wan Yuan on the Martial Path, he completely crushed him on the Alchemy Path.


    Who would have thought that Lin Tiancheng directly provoked Ye Yuan?


    After listening to the two people''s conversation, Wan Yuan was excited but was also shocked.


    Ye Yuan went into seclusion and was at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm after coming out!


    He could pass through the Black Rank Advancement test at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Didn''t that mean that Ye Yuan could already completely crush him with his current strength?


    Just a month plus!


    A month plus, and Ye Yuan and his position had totally flipped over.


    A month ago, he could easily crush Ye Yuan. A month later, Ye Yuan was already an existence that he looked up to.


    Preposterous! Just what the hell happened?!


    Wan Yuan was so aggrieved. Nothing made someone sadder than being stepped underfoot by somebody they looked down upon.


    Bringing along this grievance, Wan Yuan also headed over.


    He really wanted to watch the sight of Ye Yuan being killed by Lin Tiancheng or Ye Yuan killing Lin Tiancheng, and then being sentenced to death by the academy.


    . . . . . .


    Lin Tiancheng''s Seven-Star Steps was already trained to the small success stage. It was just a little bit faster than Ye Yuan''s Instant Flash!


    Currently, Ye Yuan was already forced into a perilous situation by him. If he were careless and got hit, then there would probably be no chance for victory!


    The Thunderous Fist belonged to the lightning attribute martial techniques category. It similarly leaned towards attack power and even had a numbing effect.


    The moment he got hit, Ye Yuan would basically no longer have the strength to retaliate!


    In terms of speed, Ye Yuan could not shake off Lin Tiancheng. In terms of attack, Ye Yuan had already lost the initiative now.


    He was currently in an extremely defensive situation.


    "Haha! Run! Keep running! I love this sort of cat catching mice game the most! Overconfident punk, I thought you were very powerful. So you only have this bit of ability?" Lin Tiancheng laughed wildly as he chased Ye Yuan.


    Lin Tiancheng seemed like he had the strength to spare!


    Ye Yuan appeared once more, and Lin Tiancheng appeared beside him at almost the same instant. The Thunderous Fist directly struck Ye Yuan''s chest!


    However this time around, Ye Yuan unexpectedly did not run away. He raised his right hand like lightning, and essence energy in his palm spread out.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Four Layer Wave!


    Boom!


    One fist clashed with one palm, and the two people clashed and flew backward.


    Lin Tiancheng''s body only flew backward almost seven meters, but Ye Yuan flew for ten meters!


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan had the lower-hand in this clash.


    Lin Tiancheng stabilized his body and laughed coldly as he said, "So, you actually mastered the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Four Layer Wave. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant! However, this Stacking Waves Layered Palm can only deal with Essence Qi Realms. To handle me . . . you have a long way to go! Right now, do you feel like your hands are going numb, and your essence energy isn''t circulating properly? Hahaha . . ."


    As he spoke, Lin Tiancheng laughed wildly without stopping.


    Just now, Ye Yuan was still talking rampantly about the heart of a powerhouse. But now, he was suppressed by him. This made him very gleeful!


    Lin Tiancheng admitted that Ye Yuan was a genius. But so what if he was a genius? Did he not still lose to him?


    This feeling of crushing geniuses was simply satisfying!


    Ye Yuan''s right hand became a little numb, and the circulation of essence energy also became somewhat stagnant.


    This Thunderous Fist indeed had a well-deserved reputation. It was actually on par with the Four Layer Wave.


    Of course, Lin Tiancheng still had to give credit to his cultivation realm to be able to rely on the Thunderous Fist to draw with Ye Yuan. Half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was no joke. It was almost a major cultivation realm higher than Ye Yuan!


    In the past, it had always been Ye Yuan who used speed to crush his opponent. He did not expect that he would be completely suppressed by Lin Tiancheng in terms of speed today!


    Without the advantage in speed, he had no way of attacking with his full power. Lin Tiancheng would not give him the chance to strike.


    The situation was very unfavorable!


    Ye Yuan secretly revolved his essence energy to purge the lightning attribute essence energy entwined in his palm in order to relieve his numbed state.


    How could Lin Tiancheng give him this opportunity?


    "Trying to relieve the numbness? Are you treating me as a three-year-old kid? Die!"


    Right at this moment, Lin Tiancheng moved again!


    The Seven Star Steps was executed, and he crossed the several meters distance, arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    Another exchange and the two people separated once more.


    This time around, Lin Tiancheng only retreated around six meters, while Ye Yuan backed over a dozen meters!


    It was apparent that after being affected by the numbness in his right hand, Ye Yuan''s disadvantage grew even greater.


    Lin Tiancheng did not plan on giving Ye Yuan the chance to catch his breath. After adjusting his breathing, his Thunderous Fist struck out once more.


    Just like that, one heavy punch after another, Lin Tiancheng''s advantage grew even greater!


    . . . . . .


    "Sigh. Ye Yuan''s improvement is quick, but he overestimated himself. I also know that Lin Tiancheng. He is, after all, a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm and known as the strongest student in the Earth rank. Ye Yuan wants to challenge him at only Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm? Isn''t this just asking for it?"


    In a pavilion, Zuo Bugui was complaining.


    Standing by his side was Long Tang. He was naturally also alerted to such a major event.


    "I think Ye Yuan isn''t such a reckless person. He might have some cards to play." Long Tang frowned as he watched the battle far away.


    However, Zuo Bugui did not agree, and he said, "What other cards could he have left? I admit that he''s truly a top genius that only appears once every 50 years. He even surpasses you and me, and he actually mastered the Four Layer Wave. But even his Four Layer Wave can''t handle Lin Tiancheng. What other moves could he have left? Such a pity! Too bad!"


    Long Tang''s brows furrowed even tighter. His view was the same as Zuo Bugui. He really could not tell what other resort Ye Yuan possibly had.


    Regardless whether it was speed or attack, he was completely suppressed. A defeat was set!


    However, he did not know why, but he just felt that Ye Yuan had other cards he had not yet shown.

 Chapter 82: Appearing to Be Weak!

    Chapter 82: Appearing to Be Weak!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Is that so? Really? You also have the same feeling as me? This Ye Yuan is truly a genius, but he''s too short-tempered and impatient. I reckon this has to do with his sudden rise."


    Zuo Bugui''s words poured on unceasingly, but Long Tang seemed to pay no heed. The two of them seemed to have formed a tacit agreement. Every time they met, they would chat in such a manner.


    "Perhaps what you said is right. But looking at last time when he went underwent the deathmatch with Fei Qingping, this Ye Yuan is somebody who plans first and then takes action. He definitely wouldn''t rush to his death so carelessly." Long Tang was still very insistent.


    "Sigh! I say, why are you so stubborn? Why don''t we bet on it? I''ve been salivating over your Spirit Essence Pill for a long time." Zuo Bugui still behaved sloppily.


    "A bet?" Long Tang looked at Zup Bugui with probing eyes.


    "That''s right, a bet! Don''t you think that Ye Yuan has some trump card that could save the situation? We''ll bet on their victory and defeat. How''s that?" Zuo Bugui met Long Tang''s eyes openly without hiding his desire for the Spirit Essence Pill in the slightest.


    Spirit Essence Pill was a Tier 2 medicinal pill that the Dan Wu Academy awarded to Long Tang. It could increase the success rate when a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist was impacting a minor realm''s bottleneck by 70%!


    To the Dan Wu Academy''s geniuses, this sort of medicinal pill was undoubtedly a miracle pill for breaking through realms!


    Geniuses like Long Tang and Zuo Bugui already had a much higher chance of breaking through bottlenecks when compared to other people. With the help of the Spirit Essence Pill, breaking through cultivation realms was virtually settled.


    Even for a major bottleneck from the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm to the Fourth Level, the Spirit Essence Pill also had a 40% effect. One could see just how powerful this medicinal pill was!


    However, the Spirit Essence Pill was extremely rare even in a place like the Dan Wu Academy. It was seldom awarded to students.


    It was because Long Tang became rank one on the Martial Roll of Honor that the academy awarded a Spirit Essence Pill.


    He could never bear to use it and did not think that Zuo Bugui had been eyeing this for a long time.


    Long Tang looked at Zuo Bugui and suddenly smiled. "Fine. I''ll bet with you! But what do you intend to use as a bet?


    Long Tang used the Spirit Essence Pill as the bet, so Zuo Bugui naturally also had to take out something of equivalent value to bet.


    Zuo Bugui was a little surprised by how quickly Long Tang agreed.


    He even thought that Long Tang would not have agreed, so he purposely used words to spur him on. He did not expect him to really agree.


    "Haha. Since you are so straightforward, I also can''t be too stingy. During the previous Endless Trials, I was fortunate enough to obtain a peak Tier 2 Sharp Horned Beast''s inner core. How''s that for a bet?" Zuo Bugui laughed loudly, giving the feeling like his scheme had worked.


    Hearing this, Long Tang''s face changed color. "I didn''t think that you had something so good! A peak Tier 2 Sharp Horned Beast''s inner core is naturally enough."


    A peak Tier 2 Sharp Horned Beast was equivalent to a peak Spirit Condensation Realm human martial artist. But its combat power was much greater than a human martial artist of the same realm. It was very difficult to hunt and kill this demonic beast if one was not a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    Sharp Horned Beast inner core could be used to refine Tier 2 and above medicinal pill, so it was obviously worth a fortune.


    Zuo Bugui smirked and had a proud look as he said, "I didn''t think you, Long Tang, would be clever all your life, but stupid this once! Your Spirit Essence Pill will soon be mine. Hahaha! Just look at Ye Yuan. He probably can''t even lift his right arm now, am I right? What does he have . . ."


    Zuo Bugui was talking halfway before abruptly stopping. It was because right at this moment, an unexpected change occurred between Lin Tiancheng and Ye Yuan''s fight.


    Lin Tiancheng clashed with Ye Yuan seven, eight times consecutively. He had absolute upper-hand, while Ye Yuan''s right hand was almost crippled already.


    Lin Tiancheng gave a cruel smile and unleashed another Thunderous Fist.


    But meanwhile, Ye Yuan could not even lift up his arm!


    Lin Tiancheng seemed to have seen the scene of a rising genius becoming a cripple under his fist.


    Ye Yuan appeared to have no moves left, and under the situation where his right arm could no longer move, he lifted his left arm.


    Ye Yuan''s left palm struck out and clashed once more with Lin Tiancheng''s Thunderous Fist.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was definitely dead this time. But under their astonished eyes, Lin Tiancheng''s body flew backward for several dozen meters!


    Puu!


    Lin Tiancheng directly spat out a large mouthful of blood in midair, staining his clothes red.


    "E-eight Layer Wave! Just now, was that . . . Eight Layer Wave?"


    "H-how is this possible? He only used a month''s time to comprehend the Eight Layer Wave? Is he still human?"


    "This fellow . . . completely doesn''t belong in the scope of humans! Simply monstrous! Even if Senior Apprentice Brother Long were standing in front of him, he would be ashamed of his inferiority."


    Ye Yuan''s Eight Layer Wave caused an uproar among the surrounding onlookers. Everyone was talking about it.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eight Layer Wave. That martial technique virtually impossible to comprehend was grasped by Ye Yuan in a month!


    Who knew what they would think if they knew that Ye Yuan had already comprehended the Eight Layer Wave back when he killed Fei Qingping.


    It was not that Ye Yuan wanted to be beaten up, but rather, Lin Tiancheng was really too strong!


    If Ye Yuan had displayed the Eight Layer Wave from the start, Lin Tiancheng definitely would not clash with him.


    The moment Lin Tiancheng was on guard against it, Ye Yuan would not cause much threat to Lin Tiancheng even if he used the Eight Layer Wave.


    In the end, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was too low!


    16 times the unleashed power of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was indeed enough to kill a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. But Lin Tiancheng was not yet a dead person!


    Being hailed as the strongest in the Earth ranking, Lin Tiancheng was not some scrub like Zhang.


    How could someone hail as the strongest in the Earth ranking within the Dan Wu Academy where geniuses were like clouds be a good-for-nothing?


    Ye Yuan already noticed this when he matched up with Lin Tiancheng.


    Hence, he had been appearing to be weak so that Lin Tiancheng would lower his guard.


    Ye Yuan''s Yin Yang Separation Flow Technique was at the acme of perfection, so the difference between left hand and right hand was not much of an issue to him.


    The power was not inferior to his right hand when he executed the Stacking Waves Layered Palm with his left hand!


    Ye Yuan had mustered up practically all the essence energy in his body for this blow. Lin Tiancheng was caught unprepared, and was severely injured by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan could finish off a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist in the Illusionary Spirit Tower when he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Now that he was already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, one could imagine just how much power was in this palm!


    Lin Tiancheng was smacked flying backward for several dozen meters before landing heavily on the ground. There was no movement as he lay unconscious.


    The surroundings were completely silent. Everybody looked at Ye Yuan like they saw a monster.


    In the pavilion, Long Tang had a rare bout of a hearty laugh. "What an Eight Layer Wave! An excellent tactic of appearing to be weak! Regardless whether it''s scheming or strength, Ye Yuan ranks at the top! Such a terrifying opponent! I''m looking forward to you growing up quickly to fight me someday!"


    Zuo Bugui opened his mouth and closed it again.


    Even until now, he dared not believe the scene before him. The contrast of before and after was too large!


    This was known as the most difficult Tier 1 martial technique in the Dan Wu Academy, the Stacking Waves Layered Palm!


    How could Ye Yuan that fellow possibly comprehends the Eight Layer Wave so quickly?


    "Haha! Looks like you have no chance of getting my Spirit Essence Pill." Long Tang looked at Zuo Bugui with a smirk.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not relax. He knew that this palm was insufficient to kill Lin Tiancheng. He was going to follow up another palm!


    Arriving in front of Lin Tiancheng with an Instant Flash, another palm struck out.


    Boom!


    A large cavity was blasted out in the ground!


    It missed Lin Tiancheng!


    Several meters away, Lin Tiancheng glared at Ye Yuan with venomous eyes. He howled angrily, "Ye Yuan! You forced me!"

 Chapter 83: Huge Uproar!

    Chapter 83: Huge Uproar!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ye Yuan! You forced me!" Lin Tiancheng looked at Ye Yuan venomously.


    Lin Tiancheng''s aura suddenly grew stronger, and the surrounding essence energy poured madly towards Lin Tiancheng.


    When Ye Yuan saw this, his face became very grave!


    "Look, quickly! Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, he . . . he''s breaking through! He wants to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin could have broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm long ago. He only suppressed his strength at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm for the Earth Rank Advancement test."


    "Alas, Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is also forced to his wit''s end by Ye Yuan. Who would have thought that he could master the Eight Layer Wave? That''s 32 times the power!"


    "That''s right. Ye Yuan''s too strong. He''s only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, and he could actually force the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm Senior Apprentice Brother Lin to such a state! But . . . it''s over. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin''s breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, and Ye Yuan''s trump cards are all used up. There''s no more chance of victory."


    The crowd was clearly pessimistic about Ye Yuan. When Lin Tiancheng was at the half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan was already straining. Now that he was breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, what could Ye Yuan use to fight with him?


    Over 300 meters away, in the pavilion, Zuo Bugui patted his chest with a frightened look. "Oh my God. Scared this little master to death. Tried to steal the chicken, but nearly ended up losing the rice. I almost ended up losing the Sharp Horned Beast''s inner core which I had a hard time getting. I say, Old Long, now can you hand over your Spirit Essence Pill?"


    Long Tang looked on and also sighed secretly.


    No matter how Ye Yuan calculated, he probably did not expect Lin Tiancheng breaking through at the last moment. He could only wait now!


    Even though he did not want to admit it in his heart, he knew that Ye Yuan''s chances of victory were not high.


    But what he thought was one thing, what he actually said was another. "What are you anxious about? It isn''t over yet!"


    "Hehe. You really won''t give up until all hope is gone! It''s already like this. Ye Yuan doesn''t even have 10% chance of victory. What are you still stubbornly holding on for?"


    "You already said that he has less than 10% chance of succeeding. As long as the chance isn''t zero, then there''s hope."


    Although he was stubborn, Long Tang was somebody like this. It was impossible for him to give up until it was truly hopeless.


    Zuo Bugui was dumbfounded and could only say, "Fine! Let''s just wait and see! After they finish fighting, won''t you still obediently hand over the Spirit Essence Pill?"


    . . . . . .


    In another pavilion, a youth and a middle-aged man stood with their hands behind their backs.


    "Second Uncle, what do you think?" the youth opened his mouth and asked the middle-aged man.


    "If this child''s not eliminated, he will definitely be a calamity to the Su Family!"


    "I think so too! I also don''t know what happened to him. This month''s improvement was simply too terrifying!"


    "Regardless of what happened, this child absolutely can''t be spared! Just Ye Hang alone is already very troublesome to deal with. If his son were allowed to grow up, the Su Family would likely have to exit the medicinal herbs market in the future!"


    The youth was in full agreement. He nodded and asked, "Second Uncle, over at the disciplinary hall . . .?"


    "Don''t worry. I''ve informed the people downstairs long ago to treat this matter as if it didn''t exist. We will let Ye Yuan and Lin Tiancheng fight first. No matter the result, Ye Yuan''s definitely dead."


    Hearing that, the youth let out a sigh of relief. "That bunch of old fellows can really remain patient. Second Uncle, you didn''t make a move, and none of them showed themselves. Looks like they have the same intention as us, sitting on top of the mountain to watch the tigers fight.


    The middle-aged man laughed coldly. "Watching the tigers fight? Haha. Just two little cats, that''s all."


    Among these two people, the youth was precisely the Su Family''s new generation''s talent, Su Yishan, while the middle-aged man was Su Yishan''s second uncle, Su Yubai. And he was also the Dan Wu Academy''s Disciplinary Hall''s Elder!


    By right, they had received the news long ago. Stopping this fight in time was easy for them.


    However, no instructor had shown up until now. It was as if everyone had reached a silent agreement to let Lin Tiancheng and Ye Yuan finish fighting!


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Tiancheng coldly without any intention of interrupting. Instead, he quietly took out a transcendent-grade Qi Returning Pill and swallowed it.


    When he returned to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion a few days ago, Ye Yuan had refined more medicinal pills.


    With his strength, it was basically effortless to refine Tier 1 medicinal pills.


    After consuming a transcendent-grade Tier 1 Qi Returning Pill, Ye Yuan''s essence energy instantly recovered to its peak state!


    This sort of treatment was not something that the average person could enjoy.


    "What did Ye Yuan eat? His essence energy actually recovered in an instant!"


    "What rubbish. It''s definitely the Qi Returning Pill!"


    "But, can the Qi Returning Pill recover so much essence energy?"


    "This . . . maybe the grade is higher?"


    "How high of a grade is needed to let essence energy recover fully?"


    "This . . . superior-grade? Transcendent-grade?"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s action of swallowing the medicinal pill attracted the surrounding onlookers'' attention.


    Zuo Bugui seemed to have discovered something and said in surprise, "Old Long, look at Ye Yuan''s chest!"


    Through the nourishment of essence energy, a martial artist''s body would surpass that of the average person. A distance of several hundred meters was not considered far to Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    Initially, everyone did not notice that Ye Yuan''s chest had something extra.


    But his act of swallowing the medicinal pill drew people''s attention to the badge adorned on his chest.


    Long Tang naturally also caught sight of that badge and involuntarily drew a cold breath.


    "Sss . . . It''s actually a low-rank Alchemy Master badge!" Long Tang who had always remained calm became incessantly astonished.


    "N-no way. He''s only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm! Is that badge fake?" Zuo Bugui''s thoughts were identical with many others. They thought that the badge was fake.


    "How''s that possible? Who would dare forge a badge issued by the Alchemist Association? That would make one the public enemy of all alchemists. They would absolutely die without a burial place!"


    "But how could he possibly refine Tier 2 medicinal pills with his Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm soul strength?"


    "I remembered. Several days ago, the academy organized a group test. Ye Yuan seemed to have joined! He seemed to have entered a closed-door seclusion after returning from the Alchemist Association. That''s to say, when he became a low-rank Alchemy Master, he was still only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    Long Tang also jumped in fright at his analysis. If that was indeed the case, then Ye Yuan was seriously too monstrous.


    This discovery caused a huge uproar among the students, and everybody started debating. Of course, the general consensus was that . . . it was fake.


    Using a fake Alchemist Association badge, this matter was much more serious than killing someone in the academy!


    Su Yishan''s face became solemn. "Second Uncle, what''s with the badge? Did he really pass the Alchemy Master test?"


    Si Yubai''s face also did not look too good. But he nodded and said, "If Ye Yuan isn''t a fool, then that badge should be real! But . . . this punk can''t be spared even more!"


    "A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm low-rank Alchemy Master. It isn''t that easy if Second Uncle wants to kill him, right?"


    "Humph! A dead genius . . . is no longer a genius! Could those old fogeys oppose my Su Family because I killed a punk who violated the academy''s rules?" Su Yubai smiled coldly.


    "Second Uncle''s intentions are . . .?"


    Su Yubai swiped his throat and said icily, "Wait until they finish fighting. I will directly go there and finish off Ye Yuan!"

 Chapter 84: Breakthrough for You to See!

    Chapter 84: Breakthrough for You to See!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Jiang Yunhe did not publicize the matter of Ye Yuan advancing to low-rank Alchemy Master. Hence, only Feng Ruoqing and those students forced to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath knew that he obtained the Alchemy Master badge within the academy.


    Initially, this badge was not indispensable to Ye Yuan. But this was something that Lu-er used her life to protect, so it naturally became extraordinary to Ye Yuan.


    After Ye Yuan handed Lu-er over to Feng Ruoqing, he put on the badge seriously in earnest.


    He had no intention of showing off, but it was currently causing a huge commotion.


    Ye Yuan and Lin Tiancheng faced each other from a distance. After adjusting for a short while, they recovered to their optimal condition.


    He did not interrupt Lin Tiancheng''s breakthrough because it was useless.


    Lin Tiancheng had long comprehended the Spirit Condensation Realm and could have crossed this threshold at any time. He had only been suppressing his cultivation realm all along and did not complete the step of compressing essence energy into a liquid state.


    Even if Ye Yuan launched a surprise attack on Lin Tiancheng right now, he also could not stop his breakthrough. So he might as well make use of the time to adjust his condition.


    . . . . . .


    Following the dissipation of the essence energy storm, Lin Tiancheng''s aura suddenly soared, and essence energy spread out wildly.


    "Hahaha! This is the Spirit Condensation Realm! Ye Yuan, you asked for this! Now, let''s see how you''ll kill me!"


    After breaking through, Lin Tiancheng felt his body bursting with power as if a floodgate had opened up.


    At this moment, he even felt like he was invincible.


    Breaking through a major realm was an extremely extraordinary thing no matter who it was.


    However, Lin Tiancheng failed to see any sort of panic on Ye Yuan''s face, which made him somewhat disappointed.


    "This is what you relied on upon? Do you feel that after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, you got me?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Humph! So what if that''s the case? What do you have to fight me now that we are separated by a major realm? You''ll definitely die today!" Lin Tiancheng smiled icily.


    "Immature!" Ye Yuan spat out this word coolly.


    "What did you say?!" Lin Tiancheng erupted.


    "Isn''t it just breaking through cultivation realm? I will breakthrough for you to see!"


    Listening to what Ye Yuan said, it was like breaking through realms was as simple as eating and sleeping.


    Lin Tiancheng roared with laughter. "You''ve just broken through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm and haven''t even consolidated your cultivation realm, yet you still want to breakthrough cultivation realms? Fine, I will see just how you breakthrough cultivation realms!"


    "Then watch closely!"


    After saying that, Ye Yuan retrieved a medicinal pill and swallowed it. It was precisely the Five Elements Spirit Link Pill!


    Seeing this, Lin Tiancheng''s face changed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.


    Initially, he thought nothing of it. But seeing that Ye Yuan actually wanted to use a medicinal pill to breakthrough cultivation realms, he could not help but regret his words earlier.


    Although Lin Tiancheng did not think that there was any medicinal pill that could directly breakthrough realms, he still reacted right away.


    This was a deathmatch. Lin Tiancheng could not be bothered with going back on his words and whatnot. Seven Star Steps activated in full force as his fist with lightning flashes around it smashed towards Ye Yuan.


    His actions drew a wave of jeering. Clearly, it was met with everyone''s disdain.


    Just now, he was still talking about wanting to see him breakthrough. But now, he ''smacked his own mouth'' and sneak attacked him.


    Simply shameless to the extreme!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is at the very least a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. How could he be so shameless?"


    "Sigh. If a person is shameless, they would be invincible. What to do if their skin is thick?"


    "Don''t talk crap. This is a deathmatch! If Ye Yuan was just bluffing, then it''s all good. If he can really break through cultivation realms and reach the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, that would be advancing another minor stage. The threat would increase greatly! If he unleashes the Eight Layer Wave then, just how horrifying would the power be?"


    "You''re right. But I still feel that this is too shameless. A living person needs a face like a living tree needs bark. If you can''t do it, then don''t talk so much. There are so many people looking!"


    "I''ve never heard of any medicinal pill that could directly raise cultivation realms. Don''t know if Ye Yuan is putting on a false show of strength. If he''s really putting up a bold front, then it''s really going to be serious this time."


    "Something''s not right. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin''s martial technique doesn''t seem to be the Thunderous Fist anymore!"


    "Sss . . . It''s true! That''s . . . the upgraded version of the Thunderous Fist, the low-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Ten-Directional Lightning Movement!"


    "The Seven-Star Steps plus the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement. isn''t this simply bullying people?"


    The low-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Ten-Directional Lightning Movement, was the upgraded version of the Thunderous Fist that descended from the same origin!


    It had not been one or two days since Lin Tiancheng cultivated the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement. He had long reached the small success stage!


    Wishing to pass through the Illusionary Spirit Tower with the strength of a half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, Lin Tiancheng could only work on his martial techniques.


    Very clearly, a Tier 1 martial technique like the Thunderous Fist was unable to achieve that effect from the start.


    Unless it was some sick Tier 1 martial technique like the Stacking Waves Layered Palm or the Absolute Yang Finger, the threat to Spirit Condensation Realms was virtually zero.


    It was just that Lin Tiancheng''s perception was lacking, and he was ultimately unable to comprehend the great success stage of the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement. Hence, he kept failing the Earth Rank Advancement test.


    In the past, he used the strength of half-step Spirit Condensation Realm to activate the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement, so the power was naturally greatly reduced.


    Presently, Lin Tiancheng was already a genuine First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Unleashing the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement could not be mentioned in the same breath!


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly. He had read countless people before and knew that a despicable person like Lin Tiancheng would not keep his word. So he had long been ready.


    The Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eight Layer Wave, versus the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement!


    One fist and one palm collided once more!


    Boom!


    This time around, the commotion was greater than any of the previous time. Huge explosive sounds occurred where the two people clashed.


    Lin Tiancheng and Ye Yuan flew out once again!


    However, Lin Tiancheng only retreated a few steps this time, while Ye Yuan lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.


    "Puu!"


    The moment he fell, Ye Yuan''s innards quivered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    This was the suppression of cultivation realm!


    Unleashing a Tier 2 martial technique using Spirit Condensation Realm had extraordinary power.


    Even if Ye Yuan had 16 times the unleashed power, he still received heavy injuries!


    If in the past, Lin Tiancheng was only a little bit away from passing the Earth Rank Advancement test, then if he went to participate now, he would be able to advancement easily!


    The difference in between was not just an iota!


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, he was just a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    The difference between the two people''s realms was large to begin with. Now, they were even separated by a major realm!


    Ye Yuan only vomited a mouthful of blood after the two clashed. This was already damn sick!


    "F*ck! I can''t look on anymore. This is too shameless!"


    "Yeah! A Tier 2 movement technique coupled with an extremely high attack power Tier 2 lightning-attribute martial technique. Ye Yuan''s is at such a disadvantage!"


    "If the Stacking Waves Layered Palm was complete, Ye Yuan might still have a chance to win. Sigh. Such a pity. A genius like Ye Yuan actually fell just like that!"


    "Aiya! I''m dying over here! Is there any effect from the medicinal pill Ye Yuan ate? Quickly breakthrough!"


    Ye Yuan''s injury aroused the sympathy of many people. Lin Tiancheng''s actions just now had already made him completely inhuman.


    The strong would always be admired by others!


    Ye Yuan used his Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation to fight a Spirit Condensation Realm to such an extent. One had to say, it was a miracle.


    After all, Spirit Condensation Realm battling Essence Qi Realm represented absolute suppression!


    Even if it was Long Tang, he could pass through the Earth Rank Advancement test back when he was at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. But now he was certainly not the current Lin Tiancheng''s match!


    Yet, Ye Yuan had subverted this sort of absolute!


    He won everyone''s admiration!


    "Your sister. This Ye Yuan was really bluffing. Gave me a scare! I thought the Spirit Essence Pill that had already landed in my hand had . . ." Up in the pavilion, Zuo Bugui was talking halfway when he suddenly stopped.


    Because Ye Yuan''s aura was soaring non-stop currently!

 Chapter 85: Sentence You to Death!

    Chapter 85: Sentence You to Death!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Although he coughed up blood, Ye Yuan''s aura was steadily rising!


    With the Eight Layer Wave to neutralize the impact of the Ten-Directional Lightning Movement, Ye Yuan''s injuries were actually not that serious.


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm swiftly broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Reaching the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm meant stepping into the final minor stage in the Essence Qi Realm. Ye Yuan''s strength would definitely have a huge spike!


    However, the astonishment that Ye Yuan brought to the crowd had not ceased.


    After breaking through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, Ye Yuan''s aura did not weaken. He continued charging to the peak of the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm.


    In one breath, Ye Yuan reached the peak of the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm.


    And then, he easily crossed the threshold of the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Only then, did Ye Yuan''s aura gradually stabilize, stopping at the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    "Holy crap! What medicinal pill did Ye Yuan eat? To actually directly breakthrough two minor realms!"


    "What the f*ck! If one had this sort of medicinal pill, then wouldn''t jumping ranks to battle be like playing?"


    "Hehe. Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Lin put himself on the spot! Just now, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was too low, so even if he used the Eight Layer Wave, he could not threaten him. But now, Ye Yuan''s Eight Layer Wave will be terrifying!"


    "Yeah. If they clashed again, the victor would be hard to determine!"


    A Five Elements Spirit Link pill was a medicinal pill that belonged to the Divine Realm. A mortal country naturally had not heard of it before.


    This type of medicinal pill was indeed very powerful, but it was not without its drawbacks.


    After the medicinal effects fade, the martial artist''s body will collapse because it could not handle a strength that did not belong to their realm.


    And the medicinal effects of the Five Elements Spirit Link Pill could only be sustained for the period of time it takes to burn one stick of incense.


    Once an incense of time is up, Ye Yuan would no longer have any combat ability, and could only let people carve him up.


    Hence, Ye Yuan must finish this swiftly now.


    "Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm! Now, there''s a good show to watch! How could there be such a medicinal pill? I''ve never heard of it before. It''s too shameless! Ah! My Spirit Essence Pill! My Sharp Horned Beast inner core!" Zuo Bugui recovered from his shock and pounded his chest in anguish.


    Long Tang, on the other hand, was staring as clearly as if gazing at a blazing fire. He frowned and said, "This medicinal pill definitely has a time limit. If Ye Yuan can''t finish off Lin Tiancheng quickly, then he will really be dead!"


    Zuo Bugui exclaimed in surprise, "So that''s the case! Like I said if eating one medicinal pill could raise two minor realms, then what''s the point of cultivating? But even if there''s a time limit, this medicinal pill is also very terrifying. It''s seriously a necessary medicinal pill for jumping ranks to battle!"


    Long Tang said in agreement, "That''s right. Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm coupled with the Eight Layer Wave. Ye Yuan truly has the capital to battle with Lin Tiancheng now. However . . . they''re at best on par. None of them can do anything to the other. If Ye Yuan doesn''t have any other hidden cards . . . chances of victory aren''t great."


    "Doesn''t this mean that your Spirit Essence Pill is going to enter my pockets again?" Zuo Bugui laughed loudly.


    Long Tang smiled and kept silent.


    On the other side, Su Family''s uncle and nephew were repeatedly shocked by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    "These medicinal pills are definitely not refined by Ye Hang. Otherwise, Wan Donghai would have been chased out of the capital long ago! There''s definitely an extremely powerful alchemist behind Ye Yuan!" Su Yubai said gloomily.


    Su Yishan''s face did not look good either. "If that''s the case, wouldn''t we have to spare the rat to save the dishes? What if . . ."


    "There is no what if! No matter how powerful that alchemist is, can he be stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect? With our Su Family''s power in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, who dares to provoke us?" Su Yubai directly cut Su Yishan''s off.


    "Second Uncle is wise! Since that alchemist let him enter the Dan Wu Academy, he would have nothing to say if Ye Yuan was sentenced to death after violating the academy''s rules."


    "That''s the idea. This world has always been run by strength. As long as we are strong enough, then killing him means he''s dead. What can he do to us? An alchemist''s strength isn''t that great, so what can he do even if he''s an Alchemy King?"


    . . . . . .


    "Do you see it now?" Ye Yuan wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a cold smile.


    Lin Tiancheng''s face fell, but he remained stubborn as he said, "Humph! It''s just a temporary increase in cultivation realm. Flashy but without substance. What''s the use?"


    "Whether it''s flashy without substance or not, wouldn''t you know after trying?" Ye Yuan hooked his finger at Lin Tiancheng contemptuously.


    "Putting aside the fact that you are a fake Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm, what can you do even if you''re a real Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm?"


    Lightning danced around Lin Tiancheng''s fist, and his Seven Star Steps activated once more.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and smacked out with an Eight Layer Wave again. The aura was much stronger than before!


    After crossing the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm, Ye Yuan''s strength rose another minor stage, and the Eight Layer Wave''s power became extraordinary.


    One fist and one palm met in an instant.


    But right then, an abnormality occurred.


    Just as the two of them were only a few steps away from each other, Ye Yuan suddenly changed his palm into a finger. An absolutely powerful force blasted out from the fingertip.


    Initially, Lin Tiancheng was full of confidence. But now, his expression changed drastically as the scent of death pounced from straight ahead!


    He could feel the terror of the invisible force from Ye Yuan''s fingertip. Even though the area was not large, that small radius of force was incomparably powerful.


    However at this time, his speed had already reached the limits, and there was no leeway to maneuver.


    The distance of a few steps was too short! There was not even time to blink.


    Lin Tiancheng wanted to evade this finger with all his might, but he could not do it with his body''s reaction.


    Ye Yuan had long calculated the time accurately and did not give Lin Tiancheng the time to switch moves.


    He aimed to kill, not to spar. How could he possibly give Lin Tiancheng the chance to turn things around?


    "Ah!"


    Lin Tiancheng''s protective essence energy was punched through like paper. The invisible force penetrated Lin Tiancheng''s fist instantly, but the momentum did not lessen as it directly pierced through his heart!


    Lin Tiancheng''s body collapsed weakly on the ground. He was no longer breathing!


    Absolute Yang Finger!


    This was Ye Yuan''s real killing move!


    During this period, apart from cultivation, Ye Yuan spent the majority of the time on the Absolute Yang Finger.


    Now, his Absolute Yang Finger was already cultivated to the great success stage.


    This technique, the Absolute Yang Finger, was a complementary martial technique of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. It did not have a fixed grade. If one had to give it a grade, then it should belong to the boundary of Tier 1 martial techniques.


    It was just that regardless of cultivating difficulty or power, Tier 1 martial techniques could not be compared to it!


    The power of the Absolute Yang Finger trained to the great success stage was already not inferior to low-grade Tier 2 martial techniques.


    Only Ye Yuan could train it to the great success stage in such a short time. If it were somebody else, they might not even train it to such a stage even if they were given ten, twenty years.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan only used three days to cultivate the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eight Layer Wave!


    "He . . . he really did it! Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm actually killed a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "What happened just now? The move that Senior Apprentice Brother Lin was struck by didn''t seem to be the Eight Layer Wave!"


    "Ye Yuan is seriously too scary! He can actually cross a major realm to do battle, and even kill his opponent!"


    These students'' vision prowesses were insufficient and did not see Ye Yuan changing his final move clearly.


    However, the result was evident at a glance! Ye Yuan did something they found it hard to imagine!


    After killing Lin Tiancheng, Ye Yuan was also exhausted. He could not even lift his finger.


    Throughout this entire battle, Ye Yuan held the lower-hand all along. His body was already covered with injuries.


    He even gave it his all for the final blow, which aggravated his injuries.


    "Huuu . . ." Ye Yuan let out a long breath.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan felt his scalp tingle. An aura powerful enough to suffocate people locked onto him.


    "Insolent Ye Yuan! To dare kill your fellow student within the academy! As the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, I sentence you to death!"


    A towering voice suddenly sounded out, which once again made everyone''s nerves that had just loosen winded up tightly again.

 Chapter 86: Imminent Danger!

    Chapter 86: Imminent Danger!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    This cry was too unexpected. Nobody managed to react in time.


    By the time everyone reacted to it, a shadow had already flashed past the crowd like lightning, arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    Being locked on by this aura, Ye Yuan nearly passed out from suffocation.


    This aura was too strong!


    Ignoring the fact that Ye Yuan was currently completely drained like a lamp without oil, even if he were at his peak condition, it would be impossible to survive this blow.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that someone would be so utterly shameless as to ambush him!


    Could it be that an Alchemy Emperor of his generation would die so miserably like this?


    In reality, Ye Yuan had already planned things through. Even if he killed someone, he would at least have to go through the higher echelon''s trial before he would be given the death penalty.


    And during all that was a period for him to turn things around!


    Which force would not wish to pull him over just based on the alchemic and martial talent that he displayed?


    However, no matter how much Ye Yuan calculated, he did not expect that such a powerful opponent would be lying in ambush to launch a sneak attack on him right after he killed Lin Tiancheng.


    Ye Yuan acknowledged that his greatest enemy in the academy was Wan Yuan. He had already broken through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm now, so even if he jumped out, he could easily crush him.


    What Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder? Ye Yuan did not even know him!


    Who would have thought that he would harbor such a huge killing intent towards him, and directly attacked to kill?


    Ye Yuan knew that he was no match for him and already closed his eyes to await death.


    Seeing Ye Yuan close his eyes and wait for death, a cruel smile involuntarily flashed across the corner of Su Yubai''s mouth.


    The timing he chose was perfect. Right when everybody was stunned by Ye Yuan''s strength, he already unleashed his attack right away, all so that other people would not have the chance to react.


    As the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, Su Yubai was already at half-step Crystal Formation Realm. Was it not effortless to capture Ye Yuan who was already like a lamp without oil?


    A lion will use all its might when hunting a rabbit. Su Yubai was very clear on this logic, so he used his full power for this blow!


    He was only a few steps away from Ye Yuan. Many people closed their eyes as if they did not wish to see Ye Yuan''s blood splattering everywhere.


    After all, he was a rising genius. Everyone could already confirm that as long as Ye Yuan was given enough time, he would sooner or later surpass Head Senior Apprentice Brother Long Tang!


    Now, a genius like that was going to plummet so quickly!


    Su Yubai was extremely fast and arrived in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    But right then, another abnormality occurred!


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt a strong gale sweep past from behind. By the time he reacted, a shadow had already circled past him.


    Boom!


    A violent collision occurred that was many times greater than when Ye Yuan and Lin Tiancheng fought.


    Ye Yuan was also baffled by this sudden change, but this was not the time for him to be dazed.


    He was closest to the two of them, so the impact he received was obviously the greatest.


    A massive blast swept over. Even though that figure helped him withstand the majority of the attack, the aftershock was still very powerful.


    No time to do anything else, Ye Yuan swiftly raised his protective shield.


    "Puu!"


    Ye Yuan was sent flying by the shockwave and spat out another mouthful of blood in midair.


    The full power blow of a half-step Crystal Formation Realm, even with most of the attack being neutralized, was sufficiently powerful to the current Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan fell heavily to the ground, andhis internal organs shifted places, leaving him in agony. 1


    That figure also fell back greatly, only stabilizing himself after backing up more than 20 steps.


    "Grug!"


    That figure also spat out a mouthful of blood. It was clear that he also suffered internal injuries.


    But Su Yubai remained still where he stood without moving. One could see just how great his strength was!


    But currently, Su Yubai was looking at that figure with a very solemn face.


    "Huyan Yong! You actually dare to oppose your superior? Do you think that my Disciplinary Hall is just for decoration?!" Su Yubai questioned in a deep voice.


    Only now, did Ye Yuan clearly see that figure. It was actually Teacher Huyan!


    But . . . why did Teacher Huyan help him?


    Judging from this blow, Huyan Yong''s strength was likely a level lower than Su Yubai''s. He undertook a huge risk for this blow!


    Ye Yuan could not help but become confused. However, he was more touched.


    Without Huyan Yong throwing himself forward courageously, he would already be a corpse.


    Huyan Yong spat out the remaining blood in his mouth, and he said coldly, "Opposing my superior? Just who is the one going against his superior? Since when can the Disciplinary Hall execute students without going through the approval of the dean? As the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, you ambushed a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm student. Do you still want face?"


    "Humph! Ye Yuan violated the academy''s rules and killed his fellow students. Whether the dean is here or not, he''s dead! Also, I just learned that before Ye Yuan killed Lin Tiancheng, he already killed the student manager in charge of the medicinal garden, Zhang Heng. Such a vicious homicidal maniac deserves to die!" Su Yubai''s face did not change as he responded coldly.


    As expected, when Su Yubai''s words came out, it caused a huge commotion!


    Killing Lin Tiancheng alone was still not so bad. But killing two people consecutively in one day made some people unwittingly think that Ye Yuan was indeed a vicious homicidal maniac.


    "No way. Did Ye Yuan''s brain develop a problem after his sudden rise in strength, and he becomes a savage and cruel person?"


    "I heard that training demonic path cultivation laws allowed one''s strength to suddenly soar, but the martial artist would lose his mind. Don''t tell me that Ye Yuan really secretly trained in some demonic path cultivation laws?"


    "Very likely! He was still First Level Essence Qi Realm a month ago. One month passed, and he''s already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, and he can even kill a Spirit Condensation Realm! This goes against all logic!"


    "I heard that demonic path cultivation laws have incredible power, much stronger than the average martial artist!"


    "If that''s really the case, then Ye Yuan really deserves to die!"


    Su Yubai''s words were very provocative. Initially, there were still many people sympathizing with Ye Yuan. Now, there were already quite a few who felt that Ye Yuan cultivated demonic path cultivation laws and deserved to die.


    Listening to the crowd debating, Su Yubai chuckled to himself.


    As long as he was standing on the side of justice, nobody could say anything even if he forcefully killed Ye Yuan today.


    "Do you hear that? I currently suspect that Ye Yuan cultivated some demonic path cultivation laws, and I''m going to carry out the execution on the spot. Does anyone else have any objections?" Su Yubai had an awe-inspiring righteous appearance.


    Huyan Yong gave a cold laugh and said, "Regardless of whether Ye Yuan trained in some demonic path cultivation law, it has to wait until the dean returns to decide! Are you trying to challenge the dean''s authority by making a unilateral decision?"


    Huyan Yong was also not someone stupid. Pushing a ''large hat'' down gave Su Yubai a huge headache.


    "Humph! Everyone has the right to punish those from the demonic and unorthodox path! Ye Yuan has already killed two fellow students. Is this not enough for the death penalty yet? Huyan Yong, what intentions do you have for shielding someone from the demonic path?"


    Su Yubai had the momentum and was unwilling to spare them. He continued to use words to exert pressure. The way he spoke, Ye Yuan had already been determined to be someone from the demonic path.


    Huyan Yong naturally would not fall for it. "Someone from the demonic path? What right do you have to say that Ye Yuan is someone from the demonic path? You didn''t ask why Ye Yuan killed people, and indiscriminately pinned labels onto him. You, Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, is truly so awe-inspiring!"


    "Humph! You''re still stubborn! If he isn''t someone from the demonic path, then how do you explain his sudden increase in strength? If he isn''t someone from the demonic path, how do you explain his combat power which stands head and shoulders above all others? Everyone has the right to punish those from the demonic path! Huyan Yong, if you don''t make way, I will take you down first, and then exterminate this scoundrel!" Su Yubai shouted with an imposing aura.

    We just finished a mass release chapters event. The pill exam event was covered till the end. Feeling satisfied huh?


    We are now starting a new arc but mass release chapters ended halfway during a battle? How do you feel? *evil smirk* Don''t worry. It''s just 1-2 chapters on this :P then the MC will do something to deal with the incident :) It''s not a cliffhanger, I think.


    Did I do this on purpose? But I did make sure the mass release finish the exam arc :P


    Enjoy the chapter! And it is Saturday, so another chapter later.

 Chapter 87: As If There Was Nobody Present

    Chapter 87: As If There Was Nobody Present


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    This matter which was originally in the bag was spoiled by Huyan Yong. Su Yubai even had the heart to kill right now.


    However, Huyan Yong was an instructor of the academy. If he really attacked, then he could forget about being the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder anymore.


    Furthermore, while it was true that Huyan Yong could not beat him, Su Yubai also could not stop him if he really wanted to run.


    But he was standing in front of Ye Yuan, making Su Yubai feel that this was a very thorny matter.


    He must definitely kill Ye Yuan today. This punk''s rise was too rapid!


    This was absolutely a potential threat to the Su Family.


    If Ye Yuan was left unchecked to continue growing. Most likely ten years, no, just five years, and he would become another Ye Hang!


    Just one Ye Hang was enough to give the Su Family a headache, and two Ye Hangs . . .


    "Take me down? Fine! Bring it on! I want to see just how you will take me down!" Huyan Yong taunted icily.


    "Humph! You really think that I don''t dare to touch you?" Seeing Huyan Yong''s manner like a dead pig which did not care whether the water was boiling, Su Yubai flew into a rage.


    Huyan Yong had always been Jiang Yunhe''s hardcore follower and was never on good terms with Su Yubai.


    Normally, the two of them were already at odds. Now, it goes even more without saying.


    With Su Yubai''s strength, it was impossible to capture the peak Spirit Condensation Realm Huyan Yong. Unless he killed him!


    Huyan Yong was certain that Su Yubai dared not kill fellow students.


    "What a joke! You''re the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder. You can touch whoever you want to. Why would you not dare to touch me? But if you want to kill Ye Yuan today, you will have to walk over my dead body!" Facing the powerful Su Yubai, Huyan Yong did not yield in the slightest.


    "Good! Good! Good! Everyone saw that. Huyan Yong is shielding the demonic spawn, and so he''s also my Dan Wu Academy''s enemy! Today, I represent the academy to exterminate fiends and protect the Dao. I''ll exterminate these two traitors!"


    Su Yubai''s fury could be seen from how he said three ''Good'' consecutively.


    After he finished talking, Su Yubai''s released his aura completely, crushing everyone until they could not breathe.


    Just as Su Yubai was about to strike, a beautiful silhouette walked out from the crowd and stood by Huyan Yong.


    "If Elder Su is insistent on making a move, then treat Ruoqing as someone from the demonic path as well, and kill me."


    Feng Ruoqing said these words nonchalantly, but the weight was sufficiently heavy!


    Other people might not know Feng Ruoqing''s identity, but how could Su Yubai be unaware of Feng Ruoqing''s identity?


    Even if Su Yubai had a higher status in the Dan Wu Academy, he would not dare to touch even a hair of Feng Ruoqing!


    The Imperial Family''s Nanfeng Clan had always been low-key, but families with deep backgrounds knew that the Nanfeng Family Clan was the number one great family in the State of Qin and not one of the top!


    Everybody was astounded by Feng Ruoqing''s appearance, including Su Yubai and Huyan Yong.


    Many of them could not help recalling some of the rumors which spread secretly. Now, it looks like it was not unfounded rumors!


    At this time, the looks which the students gave Ye Yuan became weird.


    So, what this Ye Yuan was capable of was neither in Martial Dao nor Alchemy Dao, but chasing girls!


    The Feng Family aunt and niece had always been lofty goddesses in the academy. There had been many pursuers, but nobody had honestly ever expected to succeed in chasing them.


    But, Ye Yuan did it!


    Standing out at this time to oppose the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, they would not believe that Feng Ruoqing and Ye Yuan had zero relations even if they were beaten to death!


    Of course, even more people felt that their goddess was defiled, and they wished that they could go up there and give Ye Yuan two tight slaps to show their indignity!


    It was just that it would never be their turn to do the slapping if they did it now.


    . . . . . .


    Feng Ruoqing turned around to look at Ye Yuan who was lying on the ground, unable to move. She quickly hurried over to help him up.


    Being in the embrace of a beauty was naturally something to be happy to be delighted about. But Ye Yuan was currently half-dead, how would he have these sort of beautiful thoughts?


    Except, sniffing the light fragrance coming off of Feng Ruoqing''s body made Ye Yuan pull himself together.


    Feng Ruoqing on the other hand, frowned and asked, "Are you ok?"


    Ye Yuan laughed bitterly and said weakly, "Do I look ok to you? Relax, I won''t die. It''s just that I can''t move right now. Lu-er, she . . ."


    Feng Ruoqing knitted her brows once more. "You''re already like this, and you''re still concerned about your little maidservant!"


    "How''s she?" Ye Yuan brushed off Feng Ruoqing''s rebuke and continued asking.


    Feng Ruoqing sighed. "With you helping her suppress the cold qi, she''s fine for now. I knew that you were going to cause trouble, so I passed her to Zhirou, and I came here alone."


    Hearing Feng Ruoqing said this, Ye Yuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Many thanks. I''ll definitely thank you deeply in the future."


    Feng Ruoqing naturally would not take to heart other people''s thanks, because she did not lack anything!


    But Ye Yuan was different. Just the fact that he could refine transcendent-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm made his thanks priceless!


    "I told you not to mess about, and you just wouldn''t listen! Ten years isn''t late for a gentleman to take his revenge. What''s the rush? Now, you nearly threw away your life. Are you satisfied?" Feng Ruoqing did not mention about the thanks but grumbled instead.


    However, these words did not sound like grumbling, but more like a little wifey''s concern.


    "Ah . . . Hahaha! Ten years isn''t late? I can''t wait even for a second! If I have to wait ten years for a minor character like him, then what should I do about other people?" Ye Yuan seemed like he was triggered by something to have said this.


    Feng Ruoqing could not understand the meaning behind Ye Yuan''s words. But at this moment, Ye Yuan''s eyes were very complex. It was like an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and not a 15-year-old youth.


    What on earth did he go through? How could he have such desolate and dismal eyes?


    Feng Ruoqing started to wonder about it involuntarily.


    But Ye Yuan recovered first and said, "I have recovery medicinal pills on me. I can''t move right now, could you help me take them?"


    "No . . ." Feng Ruoqing instinctively wanted to reject, but thinking about Ye Yuan''s current condition, she hesitated.


    Since when had Feng Ruoqing with her priceless body ever touched a man''s body? Even if there was clothing in between, no way!


    "Sigh. Forget it. I''ll do it myself. Sss . . ."


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan reached out to touch his chest and hissed in pain the moment he made contact.


    Feng Ruoqing hurriedly said, "Alright, alright! I''ll do it!"


    Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, Feng Ruoqing''s beautiful and slender hands slipped inside Ye Yuan''s clothes.


    "Ahhh! My goddess! Why?!"


    "Do you want people dead?! Don''t, Teacher Feng!"


    "Quickly let go of that guy! Let me do it!"


    Everybody was screaming in their hearts, but it was all to no avail.


    Feng Ruoqing rummaged around for a while before fishing out a bottle of medicinal pills. Her face was currently a bright beet-red like she was intoxicated on alcohol.


    "Is it this?" Feng Ruoqing asked with a red face.


    "That''s it! There are still five medicinal pills in the bottle; take the pale-yellow one and pass it to me," Ye Yuan instructed.


    There was only one pale-yellow medicinal pill inside after Feng Ruoqing poured all the pills out. Then, she took the pill and fed it to Ye Yuan.


    After consuming the medicinal pill, Ye Yuan''s face which was pale like paper gradually became rosier.


    "Alright. Help me up, I want to refine the medicinal effects."


    "You can already move so quickly?"


    Even though Feng Ruoqing knew that Ye Yuan could not be judged by common sense, she was still very shocked. She had never seen before a medicinal pill that had such immediate effects.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head laboriously and started to refine the medicinal effects.

    RegiusProfessor:


    This week I picked up Emperor''s Gigolo and Gate of God. Caught up to the recent translated chapters.


    Emperor''s Gigolo is quite refreshing. Its like I have a Mansion in the Post-Apocalyptic World but xuanhuan version. There was one chapter where the MC was telling stories like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Investiture of the Gods. He purposely said something along the line "Wait for next time to know the ending!" And then he thought to himself, wow, this is like webnovel authors who purposely ended chapters with cliffhangers every day. I really LMAO there.


    About Gate of Gods, it''s alright. I am following it. Its like UMG, nothing to shout but enjoyable. We all are that basic, craving for the cliche and predictable plots. I hope my translator isn''t seeing this :P However, I was a bit annoyed when the MC mentioned about how he was visited by a princess''s subordinate, several times. Asking him to come over to her birthday party. And he likens the incident like visiting Zhu Geliang (chapter 161). Yes, Zhu Geliang. It''s a blasphemy! T_T Regardless, I''m still following the novel daily now.


    I wonder what else I should start reading. I wish Legend of the Great Saint is being translated. My translator wants that novel, but the author is a bit on and off with his release. He said this is a REALLY REALLY REALLY good novel.

 Chapter 88: Definitely Take Your Head Within a Year!

    Chapter 88: Definitely Take Your Head Within a Year!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Only after seeing Ye Yuan''s injuries swiftly recovering did Feng Ruoqing felt at ease.


    She stood up and said to Su Yubai, "Elder Su, the Disciplinary Hall places the greatest emphasis on the word ''Justice.'' But actions today have failed justice and failed the hearts of the public!"


    Su Yubai was originally very displeased seeing Feng Ruoqing talking intimately with Ye Yuan like nobody else was around.


    But he was highly fearful of Feng Ruoqing''s identity, which was why he did not make a move.


    Now that Feng Ruoqing was rebuking him publicly, Su Yubai naturally could not pretend to be mute anymore.


    "Snort! This old man is exterminating fiends and protecting the Dao. How did I fail justice? Teacher Feng is only momentarily hoodwinked by this fiend; that''s why you are openly defending him. Why haven''t you retreated yet?! Otherwise, don''t blame me if I accidentally injure Teacher Feng later," Su Yubai snarled.


    It was also because Su Yubai was filled with trepidation about Feng Ruoqing''s status that his words were filled with caution.


    If somebody else were to do what Feng Ruoqing did just now, he would have definitely turned violent already.


    However, Feng Ruoqing had no scruples about this. "I know all about the sequence of events for this matter. Although Ye Yuan''s way of doing things wasn''t appropriate, there was indeed a reason for this whole thing! Does Elder Su have selfish motives for wanting to indiscriminately finish him off ruthlessly?"


    Feng Ruoqing''s words stirred up everyone''s appetites.


    It had already been many years since anyone dared to kill people publically in the academy. Just what in the world did Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng do to have forced Ye Yuan to this step?


    "What a joke! Ye Yuan violated the academy''s rules and killed two people consecutively. This old man suspects that he''s someone from the demonic path and moved to strike him down. What selfish motives are there?" Su Yubai naturally had selfish motives, but he was being persistent.


    However, Feng Ruoqing continued nonchalantly without changing her expression. "Some things become meaningless when it''s exposed in front of so many people."


    When Feng Ruoqing''s words came out, Su Yubai was startled.


    He had always believed that Feng Ruoqing was an alchemy idiot and did not care about other things. Who would have thought that her heart was as clear as a bright mirror!"


    This lass was so astute to actually see through his thoughts!


    On the surface, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and Drunken Star Manor were irreconcilable. But in reality, it was still the Su Family who was exchanging blows with the Ye Family in the dark.


    Ye Yuan''s rise made Su Yubai sense an enormous threat. That was why he directly struck to kill.


    These things did not seem strange to people involved in the affairs, but it was very hard to connect these things together for people outside the state of affairs.


    Could it be that the Nanfeng Family had long taken precautions against the Su Family?


    This was no auspicious omen!


    "No matter what reason he has, rules are rules. How can violations be tolerated?" Su Yubai did not wish to hear any reason whatsoever.


    "According to the rules, Ye Yuan should have been taking into custody temporarily after killing people and left to the dean and the Elders Council to make the final decision. Isn''t Elder Su breaking the rules by directly killing people? I wonder what''s the punishment for this in accordance with the academy''s rules?" Feng Ruoqing did not give in in the slightest.


    The Dan Wu Academy''s rules were not directed at students only. The dean and elders similarly faced many restrictions.


    Killing people without authorization as the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, according to the academy''s rules, was the stripping of the First Elder''s position!


    Of course, the dean was the paramount existence in the Dan Wu Academy!


    Su Yubai was exasperated. This little lass kept opposing him in every way, and now, he was actually reverse checkmated!


    Looks like it was impossible to kill Ye Yuan now. But his thoughts swirled, and he came up with another plan.


    "Humph! Since you say that I''m not acting in accordance with the rules, fine! I''ll do things based on the rules right now! Men, escort Ye Yuan to the Assembly Hall behind the mountain. Inform the two deputy deans and all the elders to come to the Assembly Hall for a joint hearing!" Su Yubai suddenly changed his tune out of the blue.


    Feng Ruoqing frowned and thought to herself that this Su Yubai was really hard to deal with. It looks like he was determined to sentence Ye Yuan to death today!


    She could not reject Su Yubai''s request. Otherwise, it would really become defending a demonic spawn.


    According to the academy''s rules, the Elders Council could jointly decide significant matters when the dean was not around!


    But in reality, even if Jiang Yunhe was in the academy, the Elders Council was the one deciding on the academy''s matters most of the time.


    Jiang Yunhe rarely showed his face in front of everyone.


    Under Su Yubai''s orders, two disciplinary hall''s students wanted to take Ye Yuan into custody and headed for the Assembly Hall behind the mountain.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly snapped open, and he said coldly, "I have my own legs to walk with. Get lost!"


    The two disciplinary hall''s students'' strength was beneath even Lin Tiancheng''s. Even though they knew that he was already an arrow at the end of its flight, seeing Ye Yuan''s outburst still stopped them in their track in fear.


    After he said that, Ye Yuan got up. There was no problem with his mobility already!


    This scene left everyone dumbfounded once again. What kind of recovery medicine could have such immediate effects?


    Ye Yuan was seriously too lucky to take these unheard of pills and eating them like candy. He was merely like a cockroach that would not die!


    Of course, they were unaware that Ye Yuan was once an Alchemy Emperor! If an Alchemy Emperor could not eat transcendent-grade pills like candy, then Ye Yuan this Alchemy Emperor would really be unworthy of the name.


    "Insolence! You''re a sinner right now! Who permitted you to walk on your own?" When Su Yubai saw that Ye Yuan still dared to be so arrogant, he flew into a rage.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Su Yubai coldly. "I''ll remember this, you old fart! I, Ye Yuan, will repay today''s grudge a hundredfold in the future! I will definitely take your head within a year!"


    When these words came out, the crowd was stunned.


    A year? Take the head of a half-step Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse?


    This was a complete fantasy!


    "This Ye Yuan has such killing intent! He hasn''t really cultivated some demonic path cultivation laws, right?"


    "Bullshit! Didn''t you hear Teacher Feng? There''s definitely more than meets the eye about this! Change the scenario, if somebody nearly slapped you to death with one palm, would your killing intent be huge or not?"


    "Urh. That''s true. But, I wouldn''t dare to spew this sort of nonsense. Taking Elder Su''s head within a year? How''s that possible?"


    "Yeah. Essence Qi Realm is easy to pass, but Spirit Condensation Realm is hard to advance to! You have to expend ten times the effort each time you advance one minor realm in the Spirit Condensation Realm when compared to the Essence Qi Realm. Even then, you still have to rely on lucky chances to breakthrough. It has already been two years since Senior Apprentice Brother Long stepped into the Spirit Condensation Realm, right? He''s still stuck at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm till today!"


    "Ye Yuan might be a genius, but I don''t believe that he will have the strength to kill Elder Su within a year even if you beat me to death! After all, he''s only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "Although I don''t believe it either, then again, it seems like Ye Yuan only spent a month to go from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "That . . ."


    Everyone naturally treated Ye Yuan''s proud words like a joke.


    Advancing realms in the Spirit Condensation Realm was too difficult!


    The amount of essence energy required to advance a minor realm was extremely horrifying! No matter how much of a genius Ye Yuan was, it was impossible to break through to the peak Spirit Condensation Realm within a year.


    Furthermore, it would become even more challenging to jump ranks to battle in the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Even if Ye Yuan was genius, he had to be at least at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm to defeat Su Yubai, right?


    Did he not see the peak Spirit Condensation Realm Huyan Yong vomiting blood after one palm by Su Yubai?


    In other words, the Spirit Condensation Realm and the Essence Qi Realm were two entirely different levels!


    Even Su Yubai was stunned, and he immediately erupted!


    What he was incensed by was not that Ye Yuan said he would take his head, but because he was scolded ''old fart.''


    Su Yubai had exceedingly high status in the academy and had real power. Who would be disrespectful when meeting him?


    Since when had he been pointed in the nose and scolded ''old fart''?


    "Bastard! You dare to scold me?!" In his rage, Su Yubai wanted to attack.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan did something which made everybody''s eyes fall out.


    With a dive, he fled behind Feng Ruoqing and cried out seemingly innocent, "Teacher Feng, this old fart wants to hit me!"

 Chapter 89: Nine Heavens Road

    Chapter 89: Nine Heavens Road


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    One moment ago, Ye Yuan was still exuding awe-inspiring righteous pride and crowed about taking people''s head.


    Yet right now, he was hiding behind a woman. Simply shameless to the extreme.


    But this move was really useful.


    No matter how insanely Su Yubai''s flames of wrath burned, he did not dare to attack Feng Ruoqing!


    Ye Yuan had long seen through this point. This also made him curious about Feng Ruoqing''s identity. She was definitely not as simple as an ordinary instructor.


    However, Ye Yuan scoured his memories, and he could not think of any great family in the State of Qin with the Feng surname.


    "Teacher Feng, I want to go to the Assembly Hall on my own. Is there any problem?" Ye Yuan said with a straight face.


    Feng Ruoqing sighed and nodded lightly.


    Even though Feng Ruoqing was elegantly beautiful, she was born with the arrogance of the Imperial Family in her bones. She did not know why, but she just could not refuse this young man in front of her.


    Having received repeated blows, Su Yubai no longer wished to lose face in front of everyone.


    He snorted coldly and turned around and left.


    He believed that they would not dare to not go to the Assembly Hall!


    After Su Yubai left, Ye Yuan gave Huyan Yong a deep bow. "Many thanks to Teacher Huyan''s life-saving grace!"


    Huyan Yong waved his hands dismissively and said casually, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, then thank the dean. Before the dean left, he specifically instructed me to not let anything happen to you and to take good care of you, "


    Ye Yuan was dazed and completely baffled by this dean whom he had never met before.


    "Actually, strictly speaking, you saved yourself." Feng Ruoqing suddenly opened her mouth.


    "Oh? How so?"


    "I told the dean all about your performance during the alchemist test. The appreciation of a genius arose in the dean''s heart, and that''s why he arranged for Teacher Huyan to come to protect you," Feng Ruoqing explained.


    Only now did Ye Yuan came to a realization. But he begged to differ from what Feng Ruoqing said.


    Saving means saving. This favor that Ye Yuan owed was too great!


    Ye Yuan was not an ingrate. This favor naturally had to be returned.


    "Teacher Huyan, after Ye Yuan breaks through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, today''s grace will definitely be returned!"


    Ye Yuan gave Huyan Yong a promise that sounded like in the indefinite future, but Huyan Yong could naturally sense the sincerity in it.


    It was just that he was still unaware of how heavy this promise of Ye Yuan''s was!


    Jiang Yunhe only instructed him to protect Ye Yuan well before leaving. He did not know for what reason and thought that Jiang Yunhe had a change of heart.


    "It''s not necessary. I''m not doing this for any repayment. Today''s round isn''t considered over yet. It looks like Su Yubai still wants you dead!" Huyan Yong thought that Ye Yuan was only expressing words of gratitude, and he did not take it to heart.


    Feng Ruoqing faintly guessed something, but her eyes lit up unwittingly. But she did not expose it.


    She began to unwittingly look forward to just what level Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills would reach after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    "Ye Yuan, I saw how Su Yubai looked like just now. He''s confident in settling this matter in stone at the Elders Council. You had best be cautious. Once the Elders Council sentences you to immediate execution, we can''t go against it either," Feng Ruoqing frowned and said.


    "The Elders Council is that powerful? Didn''t you say that there was an exception, Teacher Feng? How did that person escape with his life?"


    "You are talking about Mo Yuntian, right? Although he escaped punishment, it was likewise almost certain death!" Huyan Yong interrupted.


    "Oh? Can Teacher Huyan enlighten me?"


    However, Huyan Yong shook his head and said, "You can''t follow Mo Yuntian''s path. Give up! Right now, the only method is to delay time at the Elders Council and wait for the dean to return!"


    The more Huyan Yong would not say, the more curious Ye Yuan got.


    Since Huyan Yong would not say, he might as well ask Feng Ruoqing. "Was there something behind it?"


    Feng Ruoqing hesitated for a second, but she still answered. "Back then, Mo Yuntian was number one on the academy''s Martial Roll of Honor, Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! When he was admitted, his close friend was unable to keep up with his footsteps. At that time, he was only a Black Rank student. But then, a student manager from the General Affairs Department was unaware of their relationship and he caused endless troubles for Mo Yuntian''s close friend. Finally, the guy turned him into a cripple. In his rage, Mo Yuntian murdered that student manager!"


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan snickered coldly. "Looks like the General Affairs Department is truly a place where talents gather, and their ''virtue'' was inherited!"


    Feng Ruoqing sighed as she continued explaining, "There are too many people in the Dan Wu Academy. Using students as managers are also something that cannot be helped. Not only do instructors have to teach classes, but we also have to cultivate. If we are bothered by too many miscellaneous stuff, our cultivation would have been bound to be delayed. Hence, the general affairs had always been a place where the authority was the greatest. Therefore, it was also natural to breed these conceited students."


    Ye Yuan nodded to show his understanding. Instructors were also martial artists, and they pursued the martial path. They were obviously unwilling to be distracted by these mundane matters.


    Only by letting those students with insufficient talent managed the rest could the true geniuses have the time to cultivate. This was an acceptable method.


    "Then what happened?"


    "Then Mo Yuntian did not wait for the academy to deal with him. Alone, he walked to the Nine Heavens Peak at the back of the mountain and stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road, which is almost a certain death. But he passed through it! However, the Nine Heavens Road is absolutely not something that the current you can charge through!" Huyan Yong followed up.


    "That''s to say, the Elders Council can''t do anything to me once I pass through this Nine Heavens Road?" Ye Yuan ignored Huyan Yong''s words and replied with a question.


    "Theoretically, yes. But you have to know that when Mo Yuntian made it pass the Nine Heavens Road, he was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Since the establishment of the Dan Wu Academy, there has been a total of 237 people who attempted the Nine Heavens Road. Among them were 194 Spirit Condensation Realm students and 43 Essence Qi Realm students, but only a measly five people made it through. In these ten years, only Mo Yuntian alone made it! Students who failed to make it either died directly on the Nine Heavens Road or lost their minds, and became a complete lunatic ever since. But most importantly, none of the 43 Essence Qi Realm students survived!" Huyan Yong seemed to have also become jumpy, talking about the Nine Heavens Road.


    "Just what is on the Nine Heavens Road?" Huyan Yong''s words seemed to have not changed Ye Yuan''s mind.


    "Nobody knows what''s on the Nine Heavens Roads. It''s because before entering the Nine Heavens Road, students must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to never reveal any information encountered on the Nine Heavens Road," Huyan Yong explained.


    "Like that huh? Fascinating! Teacher Huyan, just now that old fart is surnamed Su. Is he someone from the Su Family?" Ye Yuan suddenly enquired.


    "That''s right. Su Yubai is the second brother of the Su Family''s Family Leader, Su Yulin!"


    "So that''s the case. No wonder he had such thick killing intent towards me. Since that''s the case, then I will go and try out this Nine Heavens Road!"


    Huyan Yong was stunned by Ye Yuan''s words. Was the long time he spent talking wasted?


    Seeing Huyan Yong''s expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just think about it, Teacher Huyan. Su Yubai wants me dead. He definitely has a way of making the Elders Council impose the death penalty on me. Since that''s the case, why should I seek my death? I know that Teacher Huyan wishes to drag things out until the dean is back, but will Su Yubai grant you your wish?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s analysis, Huyan Yong''s expression turned stiff.


    These few years, the dean stood aloof above worldly considerations and did not manage most of the academy''s matters, letting Su Yubai fill in the void. The Elders Council was almost mostly his people already.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, going to the Elders Council now was no different from going to be killed.


    "So, the Nine Heavens Road is my only way out!"

 Chapter 90: All for Naught

    Chapter 90: All for Naught


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Behind the mountain, at the Assembly Hall, six elders were present.


    Aside from Su Yubai, two deputy deans, and three more elders, these six people plus the dean constituted the highest authority in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Of course, the dean''s authority was paramount. He could veto everything in the academy with one word.


    Because he represented the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    "Deputy Deans and Elders, an Earth Rank student was utterly lawless in the academy and brutally murdered two fellow students in broad daylight. Today, I''ve invited everyone to hold this meeting so that we can discuss how we should deal with this student!"


    Su Yubai was the one who called for everyone, so he obviously had to stir things up.


    "An Earth Rank student dares to be so audacious! What''s there to discuss; just kill him right away!" A deputy dean exploded after hearing that.


    "That''s right. According to the academy''s rules, killing fellow student is the death penalty! What''s the need for this meeting?" another elder echoed in approval.


    "Elder Su, I wonder who is this student?" at this moment, the other deputy dean opened his mouth to ask.


    Su Yubai gave him a displeased look. This fellow always does not cooperate. Seriously irritating.


    There were two deputy deans in the Dan Wu Academy. One martial and one alchemy.


    The deputy dean who agreed just now was called Zhang Songtao, the deputy dean who specialized in the Martial Dao. The one who asked the question was the Alchemy Dao''s deputy dean, Hu Changsheng.


    Hu Changsheng was Jiang Yunhe''s die-hard follower and also somebody who did not like power struggles. He was someone who pursued the Alchemy Dao with all his heart. Hence, he basically had no presence all these years. Even in the Elders Council, he virtually abandoned his voting rights.


    He was not deliberately finding fault today. He just instinctively wanted to find out more.


    After all, students were the precious resources of the Dan Wu Academy. If they mistakenly killed a genius figure, then the loss outweighed the gain.


    Although killing fellow students was essentially the death penalty, he still wanted to figure out what was going on.


    Who knew if the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy would have a second Mo Yuntian appear?


    "This student''s name is Ye Yuan, a complete lunatic! He already had a bad track record before entering the academy. Some days back, who knows what lucky encounter he had to have his strength suddenly soar. What''s unexpected was that he brutally murdered two fellow students consecutively today. I suspect that he might have gotten some demonic path cultivation law, that''s why he lost his mind and did such a cold-blooded thing!"


    Su Yubai avoided the crucial points and dwelled on the trivial, describing Ye Yuan as a homicidal maniac.


    The majority of the elders already stood on his side, now, there was even less to talk about.


    "Since that''s the case, then there''s no need to discuss. After he arrives at the Assembly Hall, just directly sentence him to death," Zhang Songtao said nonchalantly.


    As a deputy dean, his words held a certain weight.


    These few years, Su Yubai gifted him countless treasures in secret to pull him over. The two are already of the same ilk.


    As for the other elders, they did not hold as much authority as Su Yubai nor were they as strong as him. Under his coercion and persuasion, they naturally became his vassals.


    "Seconded. Such a ruthless lunatic, what''s the point of keeping him if we don''t kill him?" an elder said.


    "I agree as well."


    Seeing everyone agreed in unanimity to kill Ye Yuan, whether Hu Changsheng casts his vote or not obviously did not matter, so he might as well stay mum.


    Su Yubai was secretly pleased when he saw the situation. Ye Yuan that punk was simply lawless, not only did he dare to kill fellow students, he even had the nerve to scold him an old fart.


    Even without the grudge between the Su and Ye Family, he would also sentence him to death today!


    As for the cause, Su Yubai was actually aware of it already. It was indeed Lin Tiancheng who provoked matters first and forced Ye Yuan''s maidservant until she was seriously injured and on the verge of death!


    But so what? Ye Yuan was seeking death so others could not be blamed.


    Just like that, the few people chorused in unison and determined the life and death of an Earth Rank student without even asking for the reason.


    Except, they waited a long time, yet Ye Yuan did not arrive. Rather, it was Feng Ruoqing and Huyan Yong who came.


    "What are you two doing? Where''s Ye Yuan? Don''t tell me you two helped him to abscond punishment?"


    Feng Ruoqing and Huyan Yong did not even get to speak, and Su Yubai already judged them.


    Huyan Yong looked at Su Yubai and smiled coldly as he said, "If he tried to escape punishment, wouldn''t that fulfill your wish? Relax. Ye Yuan isn''t that stupid!"


    Initially, Huyan Yong was still oblivious to the state of affairs. Only after Feng Ruoqing pointed things out, did he become enlightened on the situation.


    In reality, he also considered helping Ye Yuan to escape, and return to the academy after the dean returns. But was rejected by Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan ran away, the Su Family could seize this opportunity to apply pressure and ally with the Wan Family to deal with the Ye Family.


    Ye Hang was currently in a seclusion and could not be disturbed. Ye Yuan wanted to take on this matter all by himself!


    Huyan Yong was wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts and could not wrap his mind around these schemes.


    However, Feng Ruoqing was born in the Imperial Family and was inherently sensitive to these things.


    "Since he didn''t run, why didn''t he come? Don''t tell me he still needs this elder to go invite him?" Su Yubai asked in a deep voice.


    "Snort! Why should he come here? You probably already embellished the details and fooled the two deputy deans as well as the elders, and you sentenced Ye Yuan to death already. Am I right? Don''t tell me he should come here and die?" Huyan Yong scoffed.


    "Insolence! You dare to question the Elders Council''s authority? Do you not want to be an instructor anymore?" Su Yubai flew into a rage.


    "Is it the Elders Council''s authority or your authority? Don''t try to confound people''s eyes!" Huyan Yong did not give in at all and was diametrically opposed to Su Yubai.


    "Alright, alright. You two, stop arguing. The main character isn''t here; what''s the use of quarreling? Huyan, you said that Elder Su embellished the details. Could it be that Ye Yuan did not kill anyone?" Hu Changsheng interjected right then.


    Huyan Yong still had a good favorable impression towards Hu Changsheng, so he naturally would not rebut him.


    Huyan Yong respectfully saluted with his hands and said, "It''s true that Ye Yuan killed someone, but there''s a reason for it, not because of what demonic path fiend that Su Yubai said!"


    Huyan Yong recounted how Lu-er was nearly raped and about to die, which infuriated Ye Yuan, making Hu Changsheng knitted his brows after hearing it.


    Was not this incident a similar occurrence of Mo Yuntian''s episode back then?


    Hu Changsheng turned to Su Yubai and said, "Elder Su, looks like this General Affairs Department really needs to be properly reorganized!"


    Su Yubai''s position was inferior to Hu Changsheng, so he naturally did not dare refute. He replied, "Dean Hu is right. Even if Dean Hu did not say anything, I will also clean up the General Affairs Department after this case. But the pressing matter at the moment is still to deal with Ye Yuan''s case. Regardless of what reason he had, killing two people successively is challenging the academy''s rules. This must not become a precedent! Even if he had a reason for doing things, the speed of his improvement subverts common sense. It''s very likely that he''s cultivating a demonic path skill. How can we spare such a person like him?"


    "That''s right! The Dan Wu Academy forbids killing fellow students. The killers were already sentenced to death. Don''t tell me we should make an exception for Ye Yuan? What capabilities does he have? My view is still to kill him!" Zhang Songtao said.


    "I agree with Dean Zhang''s opinion. This must not be encouraged!"


    "I agree as well!"


    Seeing the situation, Feng Ruoqing came forward and bowed towards a few people, and then she said, "Ruoqing is here not to intercede for Ye Yuan, but to inform the two deputy deans and the elders that Ye Yuan is preparing to challenge the Nine Heavens Road three days later. So he will not be attending this meeting."


    "What? He wants to challenge the Nine Heavens Road? Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm taking on the Nine Heavens Road? Hahaha! Did he think that he could escape the death penalty by doing that? Since he''s looking to die, then I will watch just how he dies on the Nine Heavens Road!" Su Yubai burst into laughter.

 Chapter 91: Death Zone? Life Land?

    Chapter 91: Death Zone? Life Land?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The news of Ye Yuan challenging the Nine Heavens Road caused a stir once again in the academy.


    "Hey, did you hear? Ye Yuan wants to take on the Nine Heavens Road!"


    "Nine Heavens Road? Is he mad? He''s only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. It''s certain death!"


    "He''s originally a madman! Defying the academy''s rules, even killing two fellow disciples in succession, scolding Elder Su an old fart right to his face, and even threatened to take his head within a year. If he isn''t crazy, then what is? But this time around, he has no choice but to be mad. If he doesn''t challenge the Nine Heavens Road, then he absolutely can''t escape death!"


    "That''s true. But isn''t it still death if he charges into the Nine Heavens Road?"


    "At least he can seize the initiative in his hands by tackling the Nine Heavens Road. If he doesn''t attempt this, he would be placing himself at the mercy of others. If it were me, I would also choose to challenge the Nine Heavens Road."


    "I reckon that he still possesses a trace of confidence and thinks he can make it through? If he was given more time to reach the Spirit Condensation Realm, I believe that he can definitely charge through it! But what a pity. Nobody has ever made it through as an Essence Qi Realm."


    In the Dan Wu Academy, the Nine Heavens Road was a synonym for death. It had already been a whole three years since anybody challenged it.


    Since the establishment of the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy, which student who challenged the Nine Heavens Road was not an extraordinary genius?


    But only a measly five of them made it through!


    And these five people were all Spirit Condensation Realm without exception.


    Even if Ye Yuan already had the combat power equal to a Spirit Condensation Realm now, nobody thought highly of him.


    After all, his real strength was only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    And one could not borrow the power of medicinal pills to raise strength while charging through the Nine Heavens Road!


    That was to say, Ye Yuan must use the strength of a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm to take on a death road which made Essence Qi Realms despair!


    Essence Qi Realm students who challenged the Nine Heavens Road all died without exception.


    The survival rate of Essence Qi Realms on the Nine Heavens Road was . . . zero!


    It was the survival rate and not the passing rate!


    Hence, Ye Yuan was not challenging it but committing suicide!


    It seemed like Ye Yuan had been continuously creating miracles after returning from being poisoned.


    But this time, nobody thinks that he could create another miracle again.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not bother with the discussion outside. He adjusted his body condition and took care of Lu-er without letting her out of his sight.


    Ever since Lu-er lost consciousness, she had not woken up.


    Ye Yuan also did not have any solution for Lu-er''s current condition. He could only use his essence energy to suppress the frost poison in her body.


    Nine Yin Absolute Meridian was no joke. Once it erupted, it would be like a volcano exploding; sweeping forth with irresistible force.


    If Ye Yuan were still an Alchemy Emperor right now, the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian naturally would not stump him. But his present cultivation was too low.


    "Ye Yuan, Miss Lu-er, she . . . could it be that even you don''t have any ideas to save her?"


    Seeing the normally adorable and obedient Lu-er end up like this, Feng Ruoqing felt all sorts of emotions.


    Feng Zhirou by the side was also unexpectedly quiet today and did not quarrel with Ye Yuan blindly.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Unless my master was here, otherwise . . . Sigh. With Lu-er''s current condition, I can only help her sustain her life for half a year at best. After half a year, the frost poison will thoroughly erupt, and I won''t be able to control it anymore."


    "That Zhang Heng really deserved to die! If it were me, I would definitely have diced him into pieces!" Feng Zhirou gnashed her teeth bitterly.


    Feng Zhirou did not feel the slightest bit of pity towards someone like Zhang Heng.


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes, on the other hand, lit up. "You really have a powerful master! Where is he? Why not invite him here? As long as he comes, not only can he treat Lu-er, even your problems would go away as well!"


    Ye Yuan purposely said that he had a master because he was afraid that Feng Ruoqing and co would let their imaginations run wild.


    Feng Ruoqing was extremely intelligent. He was already facing imminent death, and his master did not show up, which unavoidably set off some ideas.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had long seen through Feng Ruoqing who wanted to ask but kept holding back her tongue. Which was why he said this.


    However, where would his powerful master come from?


    Ye Yuan gave a bitter laugh. "Master is truly powerful, but he''s somebody who can''t sit still. After imparting all his knowledge, he left to travel the world. I also don''t know where he is now."


    Hearing Ye Yuan said this, Feng Ruoqing was greatly disappointed.


    Somebody who could raise a monster like Ye Yuan must surely be an extremely powerful figure. He might even be an Alchemy King or even an Alchemy Sovereign from the legends!


    If he was present, how would Su Yubai dare to be unbridled?


    "But, the Nine Heavens Road is a death zone for Essence Qi Realms. Isn''t it equivalent to going to die if you enter the Nine Heavens Road?"


    Even though Feng Ruoqing and Huyan Yong had been convinced by Ye Yuan, they still did not think well of Ye Yuan.


    It''s not just them. Nobody in the entire Dan Wu Academy had high hopes of Ye Yuan!


    "That''s right. Back then when Mo Yuntian entered, it was almost certain death. You''re only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm! Why don''t you take Lu-er and run?" Feng Zhirou also joined in from the side.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You think Su Yubai is a moron? How could he give me the chance to escape? I''m afraid that he already has people stationed at every single route out of the academy. As for my residence, there are definitely many people keeping an eye on it. As long as I step out of this house, all my movements will be within his grasp."


    "This . . ."


    "Alright, thanks for your concern. I know what I''m doing. Even though it''s not 100%, I have at least 30% confidence that I can pass through the Nine Heavens Road!" Ye Yuan said confidently.


    "What? You have 30% confidence? Are you joking? The Nine Heavens Road is a death zone for Essence Qi Realm! You actually say that you have 30% confidence? Are you trying to use these words to dismiss us?" Feng Zhirou cried out.


    Although Feng Ruoqing did not say anything, looking at her expression, she obviously did not buy it either.


    The Nine Heavens Road was certain death for Essence Qi Realms, and Ye Yuan actually said that he had 30% confidence. This could not be regarded as anything but reassuring words.


    " Haha. You can choose not to believe me, but you can''t not believe my master. Master''s might surpasses your imaginations, so you should also have faith in me," Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    In reality, Ye Yuan''s confidence level was way beyond 50%. He was just scared that it would be too insanely startling, which was why he chose to not be explicit.


    The reason why Ye Yuan dared to challenge the Nine Heavens Road was that he got to understand from Huyan Yong that this Nine Heavens Road was an enormous array formation!


    It was not going to be easy for a puny little Nine Heavens Road to try and kill him with his attainments in Array Dao.


    If not for Ye Yuan''s cultivation being too low, breaking this array would not be much different than playing house with children.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not entirely certain as well. Some array formations have incredibly powerful might, which is not something he could withstand at his current cultivation realm.


    As for the specifics, it would have to wait until entering the Nine Heavens Road before knowing them.


    Seeing Ye Yuan so self-assured, Feng Ruoqing and Feng Zhirou did not know why either, but they gained more confidence out of nowhere.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan could really create another miracle again?

 Chapter 92: I’m Inferior to Him

    Chapter 92: I��m Inferior to Him


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Three days later, at the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak.


    Students swarmed so heavily around the area that even water could not flow through.


    Challenging the Nine Heavens Road was something rarely seen throughout the years. Naturally, they did not wish to miss out on this grand occasion.


    The entire Dan Wu Academy was virtually a ghost town as everyone wanted to come and join in the fun.


    If not for the foreshadowing from earlier events, there might not be such a huge occasion today.


    A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm challenging the Nine Heavens Road was just seeking death. What was there to watch?


    Nonetheless, the incident that Ye Yuan caused earlier gave rise to much debate, and practically everyone knew about it in the academy already. Now, everyone knew that the degree of Ye Yuan''s genius had surpassed their imagination. Could he create another miracle?


    Even though nobody believed it from the bottom of their heart, there was still this faint trace of anticipation!


    On another mountain facing the Nine Heavens Peak, there was a pavilion.


    This was the ideal spot to watch the Nine Heavens Road!


    Several people sat around a table in the pavilion. They were precisely Su Yubai and several elders.


    Many people were crowding around outside the pavilion. Aside from the academy''s instructors, they were mainly genius students on the Martial and Alchemy Rolls of Honor. Their status was naturally different from ordinary students.


    Long Tang, Zuo Bugui, Su Yishan, and others shockingly were there too.


    "Hey, Old Long. Why don''t we negotiate a bit? How about you return that Sharp Horned Beast inner core to me? That matter previously was just a joke, no need to take it seriously right?"


    Zuo Bugui pestered Long Tang incessantly, wanting to take back the Sharp Horned Beast inner core that he lost the previous time.


    Long Tang did not even look at him and minded his own business as he rested with closed eyes, patiently waiting for Ye Yuan''s arrival.


    "I say, why are you so unreasonable? You''re already so powerful; what do you need an inner core for? It''s better if you return it to me!"


    "Old Long, say something!"


    "Ye Yuan''s here!"


    Long Tang''s eyelids quivered, but he quickly recovered his composure.


    "Stop pretending alright? We don''t talk about that; let''s talk about Ye Yuan. Do you think he has a chance of making it through?"


    "Don''t know."


    Zuo Bugui was utterly amazed when he heard that. Because Long Tang''s reply was "don''t know," instead of "can''t make it."


    Long Tang actually had such confidence in Ye Yuan?


    Even though he and Long Tang had conflicting opinions previously, the result proved that Long Tang was right. But this time around, Zuo Bugui did not think well of Ye Yuan at all.


    Nine Heavens Road. Even Long Tang did not dare to try it!


    Although Long Tang thought highly of himself, he was aware that he did not reach that sort of monstrous degree like Mo Yuntian after examining himself.


    Even Mo Yuntian nearly died before charging through it. How could he make it through?


    "You mean that he might make it? How''s that possible?"


    "Didn''t you say that he couldn''t kill Lin Tiancheng before? And the result?"


    "Oh please. This and that aren''t the same things, okay? Even a hundred Lin Tianchengs together can''t make it past the Nine Heavens Road!"


    "A hundred Lin Tianchengs added up is also not as monstrous as Ye Yuan!"


    ". . ."


    Zuo Bugui had no words to retort with because what Long Tang said was true.


    Zuo Bugui suddenly discovered that Long Tang who had always been arrogant actually had signs of acknowledging his inferiority to Ye Yuan.


    Long Tang was an existence that all the students looked up to in the academy. He had always overlooked all, including him, Zuo Bugui.


    Yet, this existence actually lifted his gaze now, and looked at another student at eye-level, even looking up!


    This was simply inconceivable!


    "Old Long, this isn''t like you!" Zuo Bugui suddenly felt like a fox mourning the death of a rabbit and said earnestly.


    Long Tang did not react heavily to it, and only said coolly, "Did you forget the phrase that has been passed down in the academy? Geniuses were meant to be surpassed!"


    Long Tang sucked in deeply, and he slowly said, "I . . . I''m inferior to him."


    "Sigh. Even though I don''t want to admit it, but what you said is the truth." Zuo Bugui also gave a long sigh.


    "However, most likely he doesn''t have the chance to surpass you and me anymore! He can''t make it past the Nine Heavens Road!" Zuo Bugui suddenly added.


    ". . ."


    This time around, Long Tang did not retort. Truthfully speaking, he did not have much confidence as well.


    A survival rate of zero!


    This number was as difficult to surmount as a massive mountain. Could Ye Yuan make it across?


    . . . . . .


    "Humph! This Ye Yuan is putting on airs to actually make so many people wait for him!" Su Yubai was a little impatient and grumbled.


    "Yeah. Indeed, a brat who doesn''t know the rules. He deserves to be killed!" another elder said in agreement.


    Looks like he had already become Su Yubai''s lackey.


    Hu Changsheng on the other hand smiled and said, "Nine Heavens Road isn''t a joke. He naturally has to make meticulous preparations."


    "What''s there to prepare? Don''t tell me that he, an Essence Qi Realm, can make it through? He has to die anyway, yet he''s delaying so many people''s time. Simply outrageous!" That elder was very displeased. It was clear that he was already tired of waiting.


    When he said this, nobody refuted it.


    Preparations indeed did not hold much meaning for Ye Yuan.


    The way they saw it, Ye Yuan just chose to end it himself, instead of letting them sentenced him to death. But the result was the same.


    As for whether Ye Yuan could survive, nobody had ever believed that.


    Those students down there have only heard hearsay about the horrors of the Nine Heavens Peak. But these elders and instructors had seen fresh waves of students filling in the gaps as they fell in the Nine Heavens Peak over many years.


    Even when many of them were still students, the peak talents of their generation had challenged the Nine Heavens Road. But nobody succeeded.


    As for the five who made it, they are already existences that they could only look up to now.


    No one doubted that Ye Yuan had the potential to pass through the Nine Heavens Road. But that was just potential. Ye Yuan was only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. He had not even stepped into the last minor stage of the Essence Qi Realm, so how could he pass?


    Who among those Essence Qi Realm students that dared to challenge the Nine Heavens Peak before were not peerless geniuses?


    And those Essence Qi Realm students who went to challenge the Nine Heavens Peak, who among them were not at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm or even the peak of the Essence Qi Realm?


    All of them died. Could Ye Yuan make it?


    The answer was obvious that he could not!


    Right then, the crowd at the foot of the mountain stirred.


    Ye Yuan came!


    Behind Ye Yuan trailed the two girls, Feng Ruoqing and Feng Zhirou, as well as a black-faced Huyan Yong.


    Everyone directly ignored Huyan Yong and stared at the Feng Family aunt and niece behind Ye Yuan with absolute envy.


    Who did not want this sort of treatment!


    With these two girls escorting the road, they would even willingly die!


    Ye Yuan naturally was not pretending to be some big-shot coming late on purpose. He had to settle Lu-er down properly.


    Early morning, Ye Yuan transmitted essence energy once more to help Lu-er suppress the frost poison. After adjusting for some time, he let Feng Ruoqing arrange for someone to take good care of Lu-er before he could set his mind at ease and come to the Nine Heavens Peak. So naturally, he was a little late.


    Gazing into the distance, a road of green pebbles led straight up past the clouds, all the way to the Nine Heavens Peak.


    What looked like the road leading to the land of the immortals, was actually the forbidden land for martial artists.


    "Such superlative craftsmanship! Looks like I can''t look down on the experts of this world. This Nine Heavens Road isn''t simple!" Ye Yuan secretly gave his appraisal.


    Now that Ye Yuan arrived, the crowd automatically gave a wide berth.


    In front of the Nine Heavens Road, a stone tablet was erected there. On it, wrote a line of words.


    A martial artist blocked Ye Yuan. "Before entering the Nine Heavens Road, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath according to the stone tablet first!"

 Chapter 93: Strong Gale

    Chapter 93: Strong Gale


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "I swear upon the Heavenly Dao, once I step unto the Nine Heavens Road, life and death are left to fate. If I succeed in making it through, I will not reveal any information about the Nine Heavens Road. Otherwise, may Heaven strike me dead!"


    Ye Yuan swore once according to the words on the stone tablet and slightly felt his divine soul quiver.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was the feeling when one''s divine soul signed a pledge with the Heavenly Dao.


    In the future, if he goes against this oath, the Heavenly Dao will make heavenly punishment descend, destroying his body and soul.


    "Now, can I enter?"


    The guard stepped aside to allow Ye Yuan passage.


    Ye Yuan turned back to Feng Ruoqing and co, and he said, "Help me take good care of Lu-er. I''ll be back soon."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan walked past the guard and stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road.


    Stepping onto the first step, the scenery suddenly transformed.


    The initially narrow Nine Heavens Road suddenly became a boundless horizon.


    Ye Yuan turned around. The road he came from already disappeared, and what replaced it was still endless steps.


    The entire strip of Nine Heavens Road had transformed into another world. A world constituted of countless green stone steps.


    "Indeed a little interesting! Looks like every man has his edge. Even though the Lower Realms'' martial prowess cannot compare to the Divine Realm, they still have undergone countless eons of development and derivation. They are many things aren''t present in the Divine Realm. This Nine Heavens Road became an independent world. Looks like the person who set the array already had considerable accomplishments, and this array formation is a unique school of thought. 1It''s a different style from the Divine Realm. Tranquil Cloud Sect can''t be underestimated!" Ye Yuan gasped in admiration.


    This entire array formation was integrated into a harmonious reality. There were countless illusion arrays and killing arrays mixed into it. Even though its power was inferior to the Divine Realm''s arrays, the complexity of this did not pale in the slightest.


    "No wonder this Nine Heavens Road is so hard to pass through. If these illusion arrays and killing arrays were activated at full power, killing Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would be like chopping vegetables!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in admiration once more.


    "Well, there''s not much hope of breaking the array. My strength now is really too poor. Let me test out this Nine Heavens Road''s array formations'' power!"


    After he said this, Ye Yuan strode out with a large step.


    The step forward seemed to have activated the arrays. Countless strong gales howled towards Ye Yuan.


    These gales were abnormally piercing-cold as if it could annihilate all life on earth. But this world only had Ye Yuan alone, so naturally, he was the target.


    "The concept of wind? Looks like this Nine Heavens Road was constructed to help students train. Much thought and care had been expended on this. Except, using this sort training method seems a bit too cruel."


    As Ye Yuan sighed admirably, he moved along with the wind. The strong violent gale was actually unable to cause any harm to Ye Yuan whatsoever!


    These strong gales were man-made through the creator of the array formations integrating his own understanding of the concept of wind inside it!


    After sensing the concept of wind amidst the powerful gales, Ye Yuan knew the intention of the creator of this array. He hoped to let students comprehend the concept of wind inside through these gales.


    However, how many people could comprehend the concept of wind at the Essence Qi Realm or the Spirit Condensation Realm?


    The way the other students saw it, these powerful gusts existed to hurt people, instead of helping them to understand some profound concept.


    If it were another student tackling the Nine Heavens Road, this Strong Gale round would most likely have already exhausted a great deal of essence energy.


    They were unable to be so at ease like Ye Yuan. They have to activate their essence energy shields in order to withstand the power of these gales.


    Otherwise, these strong gales would be like blades, slicing their body into pieces.


    Even Spirit Condensation Realm students would have exhausted enormous amounts of essence energy after making it past this round; let alone those of Essence Qi Realms.


    If Essence Qi Realm students used essence energy protection to withstand this round, they would directly lose 30% - 40%, and this was only the first round!


    Under this sort of expenditure, if Essence Qi Realms did not die, where could they flee to?


    In contrast, Ye Yuan did not even use his essence energy for protection. He simply swayed his body along with the wind force, and the gale wind blades floated past his body easily.


    These gales were just like a giant wind blade technique, cutting wantonly in this space; omnidirectional and with no blind angles.


    If students did not open their essence energy protection after coming in here, the consequences would be very severe.


    As to why Ye Yuan did not use essence energy protection, it was because his comprehension towards the concept of wind was way above these gales.


    The concept of wind encompassed within these gale winds, to Ye Yuan, was like a toddler learning how to walk. Wanting to hurt him was naturally hardly possible.


    Not to mention that Ye Yuan''s Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword technique already encompassed an exceedingly profound concept of wind within.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s Essence Qi Realm cultivation realm was too low and unable to unleash the true might of the concept of wind; that''s all.


    Following the increase of his cultivation, the power of the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword would also become increasingly stronger.


    Although Ye Yuan was only at the Essence Qi Realm currently, it was still more than sufficient to evade the attacks of these gale winds.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan could not see the landscape outside, but the people outside could see Ye Yuan''s situation.


    To be more precise, they could not see what was happening inside the illusionary world, but they were able to clearly see what Ye Yuan was doing right now.


    There were a total of 999 stone steps on the Nine Heavens Road. Right now, Ye Yuan had already walked across more than 20 steps.


    It was just that from the perspective of a bystander, Ye Yuan''s condition did not seem to be too good.


    "What''s Ye Yuan doing? He''s dangling and swaying about like he''s drunk."


    "Don''t know. Is he being mesmerized by an illusion world?"


    "I think so! Look at him swaying around non-stop. Who tackles the Nine Heavens Road like that?"


    "En. I heard from some senior apprentice brothers that in the past when those people challenged the Nine Heavens Road, they opened up their essence energy protection right away as if there was something terrifying. But you look at Ye Yuan. He didn''t even open anything, but rather, it''s like he''s drunk. Why is he totally different from how others challenging the Nine Heavens Road?"


    "Yeah. According to the seniors'' speculations, the first 333 steps of the Nine Heavens Road might be some external force test which is extremely taxing on essence energy. Those who could walk past 333 steps would be completely fatigued. But why is Ye Yuan''s perfectly fine? Could it be that what he encountered was different from the seniors?"


    "This Ye Yuan is really a wonder. Whatever he does is different from the rest. It''s just that if he does this, would he lose his mind within the first 333 steps?"


    "I think there''s really that possibility!"


    "Eh? Look! Ye Yuan seems to have recovered!"


    That person fixed his eyes to take a look, and Ye Yuan was indeed no longer behaving like he was drunk. He continued walking up steadily.


    One look and onlookers could tell that Ye Yuan should have passed through the first barrier.


    "This . . . the first round is completed so effortlessly?" Huyan Yong stared dazedly at Ye Yuan''s figure with a dumbfounded face.


    As an instructor in the academy, he knew much more things than the rest of the students! These things were summed up using the experience from students'' fresh blood.


    The first 333 steps on the Nine Heavens Road, and every 33 steps was a minor barrier.


    Although it was unknown what exactly these minor barriers were, regardless of who charged through these minor barriers, it would not be this effortless!


    What''s more, some Essence Qi Realm students were directly annihilated at the first minor barrier!


    But Ye Yuan managed to pass through it just by swaying around like that the entire way!

 Chapter 94: Crushing All Resistance

    Chapter 94: Crushing All Resistance


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Nine Heavens Road, 999 steps. He only crossed 33 steps by luck, the first minor barrier. Each and every one of them is behaving like he already cleared it!"


    Su Yubai snorted coldly. Evidently, he was very displeased by everyone''s astonishment.


    The way he saw it, Ye Yuan only passed the first barrier by luck!


    Furthermore, passing the first barrier did not signify anything. Many Essence Qi Realms were able to cross it.


    The true terror of the Nine Heavens Road was in the last 333 steps!


    "Yeah. One look and you can tell that this Ye Yuan is a slippery punk. He probably excels in exploiting gaps. Most likely he took advantage of some loophole. That''s why it was so easy for him." Another elder chimed in.


    "Mm. No matter what you say, the Nine Heavens Road is a death zone for Essence Qi Realm. That is the truth that nobody can alter! Looking at the past, the highest record for Essence Qi Realm was at the middle 333 steps. Even if Ye Yuan''s incredibly heaven-defying, his limit will at most be at the last 333 steps." Zhang Songtao also agreed.


    Unlike the other elders, Ye Yuan''s performance gave Huyan Yong and Feng Ruoqing more confidence.


    "The most terrifying aspect of these first 333 steps is the exhaustion of essence energy! Spirit Condensation Realms are a little better, but it''s very difficult for an Essence Qi Realm''s essence energy to sustain till the end. Even if they are lucky enough to bear through it, the middle 333 steps will only get more terrifying than the front part. In the end, they still die. But Ye Yuan didn''t even use essence energy protection in the first round. He basically didn''t expend much essence energy at all," Huyan Yong said agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan can really bring people limitless surprises. Perhaps . . . he might really make it? Feng Ruoqing muttered to herself.


    "Tch. That fellow is smelly and hard. It''s better if he''s dead!" Feng Zhirou recovered her fierce and unreasonable nature.


    Feng Ruoqing smiled and said, "If he dies, you can forget about breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm in this lifetime."


    ". . . Who cares!" Feng Ruoqing remained stubborn, but her eyes kept following Ye Yuan on the steps.


    . . . . . .


    The Strong Gale round did not pose much difficulty to Ye Yuan. The instant he crossed the 33rd step and landed on the 34th step, the scenario suddenly transformed once again, becoming a stretch of fiery sea.


    The concept of fire!


    This was a flame road!


    The scorching flames roasted Ye Yuan until he was about to combust, but a cold smile flashed across the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    "I wonder what the Spirit Bristle Divine King will feel if he knew that someone was playing with fire in front of his cultivation law!"


    Saying this, Ye Yuan revolved the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art not to activate essence energy protection, but to completely release his aura to let his essence energy erupt out!


    Then Ye Yuan made his strides and steadily went up. Where he passed by, the flames automatically retreated!


    Playing with the concept of fire in front of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was simply a joke!


    The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was the supreme fire attribute cultivation law in the Divine Realm. It had virtually reached the limits of the concept of fire!


    Back then, the Spirit Bristle Divine King relied on the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s ultimate technique, Nine Suns Burning Heaven, and became renown in a single battle! He used the Nine Suns Burning Heaven during that battle, and he directly burnt the numerous Divine Kings attacking him into nothingness. Since then, nobody dared to provoke him.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s current power was still shallow, it was still not something that a Lower Realm mortal flame could compare to.


    This was like a young, juvenile dragon. No matter how little he was, he would still be the king of all beasts. All laid dormant where he passed!


    Ye Yuan continued forward steadily as the flames around him automatically gave him a wide berth.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan passed through the second round, Flame Sea, with unbelievable speed.


    Ye Yuan had to waste around an incense of time to avoid the strong gales in order to pass the first round.


    As for this second round, Ye Yuan passed it in a blink of an eye.


    Third round, Arctic World!


    This was a world of ice and snow, and it was extremely cold.


    Yet, this sort of cold seemed to be unable to pose any form of threat in front of Ye Yuan''s Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    Ye Yuan immediately cleared it once again!


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan crossed 99 steps!


    Next was the fourth round, Gravity World. Fifth round, Thick Earth World. Sixth round, Water World . . . All the way until the tenth world, Ye Yuan came all the way here unimpeded.


    Ye Yuan''s realm was much higher than the creator of these arrays. These barriers were simply unable to cause any great difficulty for him. He did not even expend much essence energy.


    "I wonder who from the Tranquil Cloud Sect created these arrays. They actually integrated metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; these concepts of five elements as well as the other five types of concepts derived from them. Truly a genius! I wonder what happened to this person afterward. Did he ascend to the Divine Realm? I''ve never heard of such an array formations genius before in the Divine Realm. Could it be that he had long fallen?" Ye Yuan was overcome with emotion.


    The world of martial artists was filled with countless dangers. Aside from the dangers on the road of cultivation, what was even scarier was the human heart.


    Since ancient times, regardless of whether it was the Divine Realm or the Lower Realms, geniuses were as abundant as the hair on an ox. However, only a remarkable handful was able to truly mature.


    Which of the figures standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm did not tread over countless corpses of geniuses to attain their current position?


    Even a peerless genius like Qingyun Zi plummeted after being harmed while in the process of maturing; let alone the others.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s speed of clearing the rounds caused a huge uproar in the outside world!


    He was too fast!


    From the first step to crossing the first 333 steps, Ye Yuan spent less than two hours. This was simply too harrowing!


    One student rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Do I have something wrong with my eyes? Since when did this Nine Heavens Road become so easy to pass?"


    "Does your brain have holes? Why don''t you try it, if it is easy to cross! I think you won''t even know how you die!"


    "But Ye Yuan is only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. How could he possibly be this fast?"


    "I heard that this Nine Heavens Road is not a place that tests strength solely. What the test placed emphasis on, is potential! Looking from that perspective, this Ye Yuan''s talent is truly so monstrous that it''s inconceivable! But I don''t know if he can cross the later 666 steps or not."


    "Maybe he can really cross it?"


    The two exchanged glances. They were both frightened by this thought!


    Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm passing the Nine Heavens Road?


    This was impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Nine Heavens Road was a forbidden ground for Essence Qi Realm martial artists!


    They did not know why either, but once this thought arose, it was like a seed, buried at the bottom of their hearts. It grew roots and sprouted, and it could no longer be stopped!


    On the other hand, when Ye Yuan passed the first 333 steps, Su Yubai jumped to his feet. He looked at Ye Yuan who was halfway up the mountain similarly with incredulity.


    One could not blame him for being so shocked. Ye Yuan''s speed in passing the rounds was too quick!


    He crushed all resistance along the way without any delay!


    There were only that few students who passed through the Nine Heavens Road. Their performance was not kept a secret. As the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, Su Yubai was naturally very clear on that!


    However, nobody among those who challenged the road had Ye Yuan''s crossing speed, including those Spirit Condensation Realm students who passed!


    Even the Mo Yuntian who was brimming with talent spent an entire day to pass the first 333 steps!


    But Ye Yuan only took two hours!


    Doesn''t that mean that the degree of Ye Yuan''s genius was several times, even tens of times that of Mo Yuntian''s?


    Su Yubai did not dare nor was he willing to believe this thought!

 Chapter 95: Long Tang’s Transformation

    Chapter 95: Long Tang��s Transformation


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Huuu . . . I really don''t know what to say about this Ye Yuan. Other people are filled with fear and trepidation before challenging the Nine Heavens Road, and he cleared it so effortlessly. Is there nothing that can stump him?"


    Zuo Bugui looked at Ye Yuan halfway up the mountain and was likewise completely stunned.


    The shocks that Ye Yuan brought him these few days was simply too many.


    Jumping ranks and killing Fei Qingping. Consecutively breaking through five realms within a month. Becoming an Alchemy Master with a Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation. Leaping across a major realm to kill Lin Tiancheng. Each one of these matters, when placed on a single individual, was an impossible task.


    But Ye Yuan did them all!


    Now, was Ye Yuan going to clear the Nine Heavens Road, which no Essence Qi Realm had ever passed through before? This was also simply inconceivable!


    Even if he could not clear it, just based on his speed in the first 333 steps, it was sufficient to look down on all genius students!


    "Yeah. There''s really nothing that he can''t do, and nothing that he doesn''t dare to do. Compared to him, we''re all self-boasting geniuses. Such a joke!" A deep shock was also plastered all over Long Tang''s face.


    "Old Long, I''ve never denied that I''m a genius. At least that''s the case within the territory of the State of Qin. However, the degree of Ye Yuan''s genius has already vastly exceeded the domain of genius." Zuo Bugui sighed in admiration.


    All this while, only Long Tang could steadily suppress Zuo Bugui''s arrogance. But now, his arrogance was shattered by Ye Yuan''s performance.


    The dazed look in Long Tang''s gaze vanished, and what replaced it was incomparable determination!


    He shook his head and said, "I''m not talking about his talent, but his heart of a powerhouse! Compared to Ye Yuan, what we lack the most is still the heart of a powerhouse! What a joke. I, Long Tang, have always prided myself on being able to look down on all experts. But in reality, I''m just a coward! Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Zuo Bugui was somewhat confounded by Long Tang''s words. However, he could clearly sense some sort of transformation taking place in Long Tang''s body.


    Like the feeling of . . . enlightenment!


    "What are you talking about, Old Long? Heart of a powerhouse? Even though we aren''t as monstrous as Ye Yuan, our desire to become strong has never changed all this while right?" Zuo Bugui asked in puzzlement.


    Long Tang did not look at Zuo Bugui but stared at Ye Yuan who was halfway up and gave a confusing answer. "Powerhouse? A true powerhouse is not about how strong his strength is but how powerful his inner heart is! Zuo Bugui, after this matter is settled, I''ll also challenge the Nine Heavens Road!"


    "What?! You want to challenge the Nine Heavens Road? Are you tired of living?" Zuo Bugui jumped in fright as he exclaimed.


    However, Long Tang just smiled lightly as if he had seen past life and death. "If I can''t even pass through a tiny Nine Heavens Road in the State of Qin, how can I talk about becoming a powerhouse? What qualifications would I have to look down upon this Endless World and ascend to the Divine Realm?"


    This place Ye Yuan reincarnated in was called the Endless World.


    Endless World was named after the Endless Forest. Because it was truly endless and limitless, separating the Endless World into the North and South domain.


    "Mad! Completely mad! No matter how powerful you are, Old Long, are you more powerful than Mo Yuntian? You will die if you attempt the Nine Heavens Road! What will you have to look down on the Endless World if you lose your life?" Zuo Bugui was ruffled.


    Ye Yuan was a madman, and now, even the rank one on the Martial Roll of Honor, Long Tang, also went crazy along with him! Just what was happening to this world?


    Long Tang, on the other hand, was unmoved. Incomparable resolve could be seen in his eyes.


    "Why should martial artists regret death? How can one talk about becoming a powerhouse without the realization of going to die?" Long Tang said casually.


    "But even when martial artists die, they have to die with significance! What''s the point if you challenge the Nine Heavens Road just to die?"


    Zuo Bugui was still unable to figure it out. The way he saw it, the Nine Heavens Road was just a large scale array. Dying inside the array was something utterly meaningless.


    "What kind of death holds meaning? Only now do I understand that victory and defeat lie in one thought. Strong and weak . . . also lies in a single thought! Zuo Bugui, you and I are ultimately not from the same world." Long Tang finally looked at Zuo Bugui. The expression in his eyes was something which he had never seen before.


    Zuo Bugui was rank two on the Martial Roll. Apart from Long Tang, he was invincible in the academy. Even Feng Zhirou could not defeat him.


    Even when facing Long Tang, the disparity with Zuo Bugui was actually not that large.


    But now, Long Tang actually said that they were not from the same world? How could Zuo Bugui feel comfortable?


    "What you meant is that you and Ye Yuan are people from the same world? Aren''t your words too conceited, Old Long?" Zuo Bugui kept away that trademark cynical smile and said somewhat unhappily.


    However, Long Tang shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan . . . I''m afraid I have no opportunity to catch up to him in this lifetime. He and I . . . are also from entirely different worlds."


    After saying that, Long Tang kept silent and simply watched Ye Yuan halfway up patiently.


    Zuo Bugui also fell silent and started to muse.


    He felt that some sort of transformation had taken place in Long Tang''s body. It was just that he could not understand what this transformation was even after cracking his head open trying to figure it out.


    Except . . . could this transformation separate both of them into two different worlds? How was that possible?


    Just because Long Tang was going to challenge the Nine Heavens Road?


    Why don''t I also try taking on the Nine Heavens Road?


    Zuo Bugui swiftly rejected this idea. He was indeed strong, but he did not even have 10% confidence for him to challenge the Nine Heavens Road successfully. It was indeed almost certain death!


    Although Long Tang was stronger than him, he was not that much stronger. That was to say even if he went, it would be virtually certain death!


    Just what did this fellow come to realize?


    Such a low survival rate and he still dared to try it? Wasn''t this courting death?


    Yes. Long Tang had truly been enlightened!


    He saw what was called the heart of a powerhouse from Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s chances were actually not that great when he challenged Lin Tiancheng. But he went to do it.


    Ye Yuan''s chances were even much lower than imagined when he went to take on the Nine Heavens Road. But he did it anyway.


    Even though he clearly understood that killing fellow disciples would result in the death penalty, Ye Yuan still did it without looking back.


    Even though he was clear that the Nine Heavens Road was certain death, he still did it without hesitation.


    Breaking the rules, challenging oneself, and surpassing oneself.


    This was the heart of a powerhouse!


    For a martial artist to cultivate was originally already going against the heavens. Without the consciousness of death, how could one sense the unparalleled Heavenly Dao and reach the paramount Deity Realm?


    Why should we rejoice over life, and why should we be bitter about death?


    The road of a powerhouse was filled densely with thorns. Even if one did not go and challenge the Nine Heavens Road, there might still be an Eight Heavens Road, Ten Heavens Road.


    A person could hide for a moment, but could he hide for a lifetime?


    Only by braving forward could one trample all these ups and downs underfoot. Only by continually surpassing oneself could there be a possibility to truly look down on all life under the heavens!


    Pursuing good fortune and avoiding disasters were the primal instinct of men. But if martial artists did not sever these instincts, how could they talk about being an expert?


    Long Tang could see from Zuo Bugui''s eyes that he simply did not dare to give birth to the thought of challenging the Nine Heavens Road. Hence, he said that they were not from the same world.


    Long Tang was destined to walk out of the State of Qin; a person who would walk unparalleled throughout the entire Endless World.


    But Zuo Bugui was only an expert in the State of Qin. Even if he forced himself to the limits, he would only be an expert in the Tranquil Cloud Sect.

 Chapter 96: Illusionary Realm

    Chapter 96: Illusionary Realm


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Everybody was focused on Ye Yuan, so naturally, no one noticed the transformation which suddenly took place in Long Tang''s body. Except for Zuo Bugui.


    But even Zuo Bugui could not imagine just what kind of change Long Tang''s transformation brought him.


    It was until many years later, Zuo Bugui then heard that Long Tang''s martial prowess broke the void, and he ascended to the Divine Realm with the status of the strongest expert in the Endless World. At that time, he finally understood what these words meant back during the days of the State of Qin.


    Of course, this was all later on in the future.


    Just as Long Tang was conversing with Zuo Bugui, another commotion sprung out from the crowd again.


    "Quickly look! Ye Yuan stopped advancing!"


    "Yeah. He stopped at the 338th step. It''s only been five steps!"


    "He scared me to death! I thought that he would continue forth with an indomitable force."


    "Are you dumb? This is the Nine Heavens Road, hailed as the death zone for all Essence Qi Realms. How could he possibly continue forth without any resistance? The true difficulty of the Nine Heavens Road starts from the middle 333 steps stage. The vast majority of those Essence Qi Realms who came to challenge the Nine Heavens Road fell at this juncture! How could Ye Yuan possibly fall to the first stage with how monstrous he is?"


    "So that''s the case! His crossing speed just now was too frightening. It quickly swept me up. Hur hur. Then do you think Ye Yuan can make it through?"


    "Absolutely not! If Ye Yuan were at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, I would feel that he might make it through. But he''s only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm! The scariest part of the Nine Heavens Road is still the final 333 steps!"


    Just as Ye Yuan landed on the fifth step of the second stage on the Nine Heavens Road, his fierce momentum finally halted.


    This action naturally drew everyone''s attention. The crowd started clamoring.


    The people who were initially stunned by Ye Yuan''s advancing momentum suddenly came to a realization at this moment.


    This was the death zone for all Essence Qi Realms, Nine Heavens Road! How could it be possible to pass through it smoothly without problems?


    When Su Yubai saw this scene, his initial shock turned into wild ecstasy.


    "I''ve long said that he can''t possibly pass through! A tiny little Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm dares to tackle the Nine Heavens Road? Conceited! Seeking his own destruction!"


    Even though he was filled with wild joy, Su Yubai obviously would not be stupid enough to show it on his face. However, he did not hold back his words at all.


    Everybody knew that he wanted to eliminate Ye Yuan anyway, so he naturally had no need to pretend to be some hypocritical good person.


    "What Elder Su said is right. This Ye Yuan would rather challenge the Nine Heavens Road than come to the elder''s meeting. This is slighting us all! Such an impertinent brat! The way I see it, there''s nothing to regret over his death!" an elder echoed.


    "Elder Lin''s words are unreasonable. Challenging the Nine Heavens Road is the right of every student. Once you pass the Nine Heavens Road, you would enjoy the special privilege of the high sect''s core disciple. This was set by the high sect. No matter how powerful the Elders Council is, it''s not greater than the high sect''s rules, right?" Hu Changsheng raised his eyelids and said coolly.


    Like everybody else, Hu Changsheng was also astonished by Ye Yuan''s performance. It was just that he did not show it. He kept both eyes lightly closed like an old monk in meditation.


    However, Hu Changsheng''s talent loving heart was stirred, and he felt great pity for Ye Yuan.


    Such a genius might be able to pass the Heaven Rank Advancement test in the future and become the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s inner disciple. He might even yield brilliant results in the Ten Nation''s Grand Competition and be chosen as a core disciple of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    But now, Ye Yuan was going to fall on the Nine Heavens Road. How could that not make people sigh regretfully?


    And what caused this sort of tragedy to happen was precisely these few so-called elders in front of his eyes who were playing politics!


    How could this not make him displeased?


    Hence, Hu Changsheng who was always a nice person finally blew his top!


    Yes. Even with Ye Yuan''s spectacular performance, Hu Changsheng did not think that Ye Yuan could pass through the Nine Heavens Road!


    As the deputy dean, he naturally understood much more than the students. The further one went along the Nine Heavens Road, the more challenging it became. Especially at the last 333 steps, the difficulty basically reached an extreme level.


    It was impossible for Ye Yuan to pass it with his current realm!


    Hu Changsheng''s words left that elder who was surnamed Lin dumbfounded. What could he say? That he was bigger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Was that not seeking death?


    . . . . . .


    Presently, Ye Yuan was already on an illusionary trip. He was currently in the pill refinement room at the Divine Realm''s Medicine King''s Hall.


    A pill refinement room so vast that it could be a training room for martial arts, tens of times greater than Feng Ruoqing''s refinement room. It could be called extravagant!


    Ye Yuan would treat other aspects of himself shabbily with the sole exception of this pill refinement room and things related to it. No matter what he would not treat himself badly or underperform on this aspect.


    Because the Alchemy God realm was his life-long goal!


    Limitless Cauldron, one of the best pill cauldrons in the Divine Realm. It was formerly Ye Yuan''s greatest love.


    Apart from that, various pill refining tools and herbal ingredients were all here. Everything here was so familiar.


    Ye Yuan spent over 300 years in this pill refinement room!


    To Ye Yuan, he was even more familiar with this refinement room than his bedchamber.


    There were no mirrors in his pill refinement room, but Ye Yuan knew that he definitely recovered his previous life''s appearance.


    "Appearance is born from the heart. This illusionary realm is seriously realistic. It can actually completely dig out the things buried within my heart so thoroughly! Even though I know it''s an illusionary realm, I still don''t wish to wake up!" Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.


    After Ye Yuan entered the Nine Heavens Road''s second stage, he suddenly felt his head was incomparably heavy. After a bout of dizziness, he appeared in his former refinement room.


    Ye Yuan already confirmed that he entered an illusionary realm nearly straightaway.


    Illusionary realms might look completely harmless, but it was extremely dangerous. Those students who went insane after challenging the Nine Heavens Road basically lost themselves after failing this second stage.


    The average person who ventured deep into an illusionary world would often unable to extricate themselves out from it. They would be swept inside instantly, and finally, lose themselves inside it.


    Only someone with a firm heart could free themselves from the illusion world and return to reality. However, this process was tremendously arduous. Even Mo Yuntian who was so powerful back then spent several days before he could awaken.


    To talk about a firm heart, the previous life''s Qingyun Zi was not that powerful either.


    However, he had changed dramatically today and became countless times more mature than the previous life''s Qingyun Zi in terms of mentality. In addition, his heart for vengeance was incomparably firm. How could ordinary illusionary worlds mesmerize him?


    Without talking about how Ye Yuan himself was a great array master, even if his strength today was lacking and unable to break the array, it was still insanely difficult for illusion arrays to make him fall for them.


    No matter how powerful this Nine Heavens Road was, it was nothing but an array formation from the Lower Realms. It was still considered as nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    This was also his greatest reliance to dare to tackle the Nine Heavens Road!


    Except, seeing through the illusion world did not mean being able to break the illusion world, and it also did not mean willingness to break the illusion world.


    This Nine Heavens Road was extremely remarkable, to directly look at the human heart.


    Even somebody like Ye Yuan was unwilling to leave just like that after seeing this place filled with cherished memories.


    These things had accompanied Ye Yuan for 300 years!


    Every blade of grass and every tree was filled with feelings!


    With a casual wave, the Limitless Cauldron turned into a remarkably small and exquisite pill cauldron in Ye Yuan''s hand. The feeling when his fingers came into contact with the Limitless Cauldron was exactly the same as back then.


    Of course it would be exactly the same. Because this illusionary realm was birthed from his inner thoughts!


    "If time could rewind, how great would that be . . ." Ye Yuan was overcome with emotion.

 Chapter 97: Heart Realm!

    Chapter 97: Heart Realm!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Dong dong dong!


    Just as Ye Yuan was lost in his emotions, a knocking sound came from outside the door.


    "Are you in there, Yun-er?"


    That familiar yet foreign voice sounded out from outside the door. Ye Yuan could never forget this voice even if he turned to ashes. Because it was the voice belonging to his father, Ji Zhengyang.


    Zhengyang Zi and Qingyun Zi were only Dao-titles that the outside world dedicated to them. Qingyun Zi and his father were originally surnamed Ji.


    In the Divine Realm, any alchemist who reached the realm of Alchemy Emperor would be addressed respectfully with ''Zi.'' Directly calling an Alchemy Emperor with his name was a great disrespect and could very well anger the Alchemy Emperor.


    And the vastness of an Alchemy Emperor''s network was unimaginable to the average person!


    Even though he was clearly aware that he was currently inside an illusionary realm, Ye Yuan still shuddered uncontrollably.


    Casually firing out a spell, the door to the pill refinement room automatically opened revealing Ji Zhengyang''s figure.


    Seeing this familiar figure once again, Ye Yuan''s eyes immediately became moist.


    Ji Zhengyang entered with a faint smile. When he saw Ye Yuan''s wet eyes, he could not help but be surprised. "Why is your face covered in tears, Yun-er?"


    Ye Yuan who had transformed into Ji Qingyun was fully aware that this was inside an illusionary realm, but he still could not resist explaining.


    "Father, when Yun-er was preparing the herbs just now, I used the Melancholy Gathering Grass and accidentally got the fumes in my eyes. That''s why I''m like this."


    Melancholy Gathering Grass was a ninth rank herb with extremely powerful stimulating effects. Even with Ji Qingyun''s status as an Alchemy Emperor, if he got the fumes in his eyes, he would also cry nonstop.


    Ye Yuan did not know why he would inexplicably come up with a white lie even though he knew perfectly well that the Ji Zhengyang in front of his eyes did not exist.


    As expected, Ji Zhengyang laughed when he heard it. "Yun-er is overly careless. Even father dares not to overlook this Melancholy Gathering Grass. How could you be so careless?"


    Ye Yuan quietly received this teaching. "Father is right. Yun-er will be more careful next time."


    Ji Zhengyang let out a sigh and said, "Oh Yun-er . . . Father knows that you are infatuated with the Alchemy Dao, but there isn''t only the Alchemy Dao in this world. Cooping yourself up in a pill refinement room all the time will do you no good!"


    Ye Yuan once again replied respectfully, "Don''t worry, Father. Yun-er knows when to stop."


    Ji Zhengyang shook his head and said, "You, oh you. What do you want me to say about you? The Alchemy Dao is boundless and everlasting. Even if we pour our entire lives into it, it would be hard to even glimpse a ten-thousandth of it. Even if you really stepped into the Deity Realm in the future and become an Alchemy God, it is but another beginning. When alive, one has to take note of many other things. You will see that the vastness of this world far exceeds your imagination when you step outside of the pill refinement room. You should learn more from your senior apprentice brother about this point."


    Ye Yuan''s face changed upon mentioning his senior apprentice brother. The killing intent in his heart unconsciously welled up but was quickly pressed down.


    The current Ye Yuan could not be compared to the past. If he did not even have this bit of shrewdness, how could he talk about revenge?


    One had to know that what he was worse off than his senior apprentice brother was not limited to cultivation realm, but instead, he fell behind in all aspects!


    And wasn''t this illusionary realm an excellent place for Ye Yuan to temper his heart realm?


    Although he knew that this illusion array was automatically activated, and nobody knew what was happening inside, Ye Yuan still did not wish to expose these things that were buried in the innermost part of his heart.


    Firstly, it was to temper his heart realm. Secondly, it was to prepare for all contingencies.


    After all, his origin was simply overly startling. If it was leaked, it might be hard to not arouse some big trouble.


    And Ye Yuan''s current strength was far from being able to protect himself.


    However, Ji Zhengyang apparently seemed to have discovered Ye Yuan''s flash of killing intent and was very puzzled.


    "What''s wrong? You had a conflict with your senior apprentice brother?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and nodded. "Don''t worry, father. It''s just a small spat. It will be fine after this period of time."


    Ji Zhengyang then smiled and said, "So that''s the case. Then it''s fine. A peaceful family will prosper. Small fights and arguments are fine, but if you two brothers turn on each other, this Medicine King Hall will decline sooner or later."


    Ye Yuan secretly sighed. This was more than just turning on each other!


    This scoundrel killed the master who imparted to him all his abilities and raised him for several hundred years. He even murdered his master''s only son!


    Such an unfilial son could not be tolerated by heaven and earth!


    Ji Canglan!


    When I return to the Divine Realm someday, I will definitely grind your bones to dust! ''


    "I will. I wonder why Father came to look for this child?"


    Although the killing intent in his heart was billowing to the skies, Ye Yuan did not let out the slightest bit.


    Ye Yuan knew that he seemed to have broken through in terms of his heart realm.


    After hearing that, Ji Zhengyang smacked his own head and smiled wryly. "You see, I''m already old and muddle-headed. I forgot about the proper business after talking to you. Father has refined a half-step divine pill and was about to convene a Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly. When visitors from all around come to congratulate a few days later, you and your senior apprentice brother shall arrange all the matters. Don''t treat the guests discourteously."


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled!


    Just now, he was immersed in past events and completely did not think about what time the illusionary realm brought him to.


    Only now that Ji Zhengyang mentioned it did Ye Yuan suddenly awakened. This so-called Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly was precisely when Ji Canglan revealed his fangs!


    What Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly was this? This was simply a Father and Brother Killing Grand Assembly!


    The so-called visitors from all around were also single-handedly arranged by Ji Canglan.


    He really did not know how Ji Canglan operated over these few years to suddenly bring over dozens of Divine Kings. With the inside colluding with the outside, they swiftly brought down the Medicine King Hall!


    The Medicine King Hall was also a top-tier power in the Divine Realm. Just the Divine Kings under Zhengyang Zi''s command numbered over a dozen. But Ji Canglan had handled everything for several hundred years, causing the Medicine King Hall to fall apart immediately.


    Ji Qingyun was oblivious to the outside world, so he was hoodwinked by everything that happened. Even after he reincarnated today, he still could not understand just how Ji Canglan did all those things under the eyes of the father-son pair.


    When he closed his eyes to await death, he was seized with remorse over his usual indifference. But it was already too late for regrets. Ji Zhengyang was dead and his Dao dissipated!


    Hence, the purpose of Ye Yuan''s existence in this life was to do two things!


    The first thing was to personally kill Ji Canglan and avenge this immense hatred. The second was to figure out just what force was supporting Ji Canglan from behind!


    Ye Yuan believed that Ji Canglan would undoubtedly be unable to do this alone.


    Wishing to overturn a colossal bring such as the Medicine King Hall? The force behind Ji Canglan must surely be powerful to the point it terrifies people at the sight of it.


    But so what?


    If he could not take revenge for Father, then what was the point of him, Ji Qingyun reincarnating?


    He, Ji Qingyun, lived his life proudly. How could he possibly lead this sort of ignoble life?


    Even if taking revenge was harder than reaching the heavens, Ji Qingyun would still try reaching this heaven!


    Wasn''t it just practicing martial arts?


    Since Ji Qingyun was able to be hailed as the alchemist closest to Alchemy God during his previous life, he could become the martial artist most likely to step into the Deity Realm in this life!


    How could a tiny little Nine Heavens Road thwart me, Ji Qingyun, on my heaven trampling journey?


    "Don''t worry, Father. It''s only a small matter between Senior Apprentice Brother and me. This child will definitely work together with Senior Apprentice Brother and manage the matter of welcoming guests properly," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Even as surging waves billowed in his heart, Ye Yuan obstinately did not reveal the slightest bit!


    Ye Yuan did not permit even the slightest flaw in his heart realm. The more one was facing a powerful enemy, the more one had to maintain the steadiness of their heart state.


    When experts exchange blows, what was fought was not only strength but also the strength of the heart!


    "Haha! Then I can rest at ease," Ji Zhengyang laughed heartily and said with a smile as he stroked his beard.

 Chapter 98: Heart Like Still Water!

    Chapter 98: Heart Like Still Water!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    There was complete silence at the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak.


    Ye Yuan had already stood at the fifth step for four hours, while he only used a total of two hours to clear the first 333 steps!


    The students looked at that figure halfway up the mountain. From the initial shock to excitement, then to dejection, and all the way until the current sighs of regret and pity.


    The fever fell from the highest point down to the freezing point.


    Ye Yuan''s rushing style involuntarily gave everyone a feeling of a strong beginning but a weak ending.


    The first stage was too quick, but the second stage was a failure right at the start. The difference between before and after was too great.


    At this point, nobody thought that Ye Yuan could make it anymore. Their confidence gradually faded along with the passing of time.


    Standing for four hours on one step. There were still 328 steps behind!


    How would he pass?


    "Humph! Playing tricks! He must have used some trickery to gain advantage previously. That''s why it went so smoothly!" Su Yubai snorted coldly.


    "Based on past experiences, the second stage of the Nine Heavens Road could very well be an eternal illusionary realm. And the derivative of this illusionary realm would become increasingly terrifying along with the increase in steps. Finally, it would leave people unable to extricate themselves. Ye Yuan already sunk in so deeply at the fifth step, I''m afraid it''s hopeless to save the situation." Zhang Songtao also made a rare remark at this time.


    Hu Changsheng looked at Ye Yuan with a grave expression.


    How could he not know what Zhang Songtao said? After so many years of fumbling about, even though the specific situations inside the Nine Heavens Road could not be confirmed, they were still able to conjecture many things according to the students'' performance.


    Without a doubt, this second stage''s content was the easiest to confirm.


    Because almost all the students who survived this round became insane. Clearly, they lost their minds inside the illusionary realm.


    And in this second stage, the earlier one fell for the illusionary realm, the more dangerous it became.


    This illusionary realm was able to continuously develop as it derived non-stop. The further it went, the more realistic it became, and the more they would not be able to extricate themselves.


    Basically, those who got trapped so early like Ye Yuan had virtually no possibility of escaping the illusionary realm.


    "A pity. A pinnacle genius who could have been extraordinarily splendors actually plummeted here."


    "Ye Yuan might be a genius, but somebody like him was destined to not walk far. Because he failed to show restraint."


    "Yeah. Too tough, and it''s easily broken. Ye Yuan doesn''t know how to tolerate, that''s why he challenged the academy''s rules, which resulted to his end. To him, Lin Tiancheng was doomed to be a minor character. There would have been thousands of ways to mess him to death. Why did he have to be impulsive?"


    "Disperse then. Let''s go. It''s already hopeless for Ye Yuan. It''s impossible for him to wake up."


    Quite a few people already lost their patience and faith and left in groups.


    . . . . . .


    In the illusionary realm, Ye Yuan saw Ji Canglan once again!


    "Haha. You finally exited seclusion, Junior Apprentice Brother. This brother waited for a long time! There are more and more guests these few days; I already can''t handle it anymore. If you don''t come out, I would have gone to Master and washed my hands off this matter." Seeing Ye Yuan, Ji Canglan laughed.


    Ye Yuan''s emotions were somewhat chaotic. Seeing this great enemy again, Ye Yuan was unable to keep a calm state of mind even though this was inside an illusionary realm.


    Ye Yuan had methods to break apart the illusionary realm. However, he did not do so.


    He did not wish to alter the direction the illusionary realm was heading to and fight to the death with Ji Canglan. Because that was meaningless.


    He wanted to make use of this illusionary realm to advance his heart realm!


    Heart realm was something fleeting and abstruse and looked like it was completely useless towards cultivation. Very few martial artists placed their thoughts on it as well.


    However, Ye Yuan knew that heart realm was extremely useful towards a martial artist''s future cultivation road. It even determined to a certain extent the martial artist''s potential and limit!


    To martial artists, heart realm was something akin to adding wings to a tiger!


    If two martial artists with the exact same cultivation strength were to battle it out, the final victor would definitely be the one with the higher heart realm!


    To Ye Yuan, even the slightest increase in strength was extremely valuable.


    "My apologies. I''ve let Senior Apprentice Brother wait for too long," Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed the killing intent inside him and apologized.


    "Since when have us brothers been so distant? Brother is only joking with you. Don''t take it to heart, Junior Apprentice Brother. I know that Junior Apprentice Brother is pursuing the great Alchemy Dao and doesn''t like to be distracted by mundane matters. I will do my best to take on what I can handle. Except, the assembly this time around is crucial to our Medicine King Hall. So I have no other options but to invite Junior Apprentice Brother out."


    Ji Canglan was filled with sincerity without the slightest bit of hypocrisy. Nobody could have seen through his wild ambitions.


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "I''ll naturally help Senior Apprentice Brother share the burden."


    The following few days, Ye Yuan followed Ji Canglan and began to busy themselves with the various matters of the Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly.


    Even if these things were what he hated the most in the past, Ye Yuan still did them conscientiously, as if he was wholly immersed in the illusionary realm and substituted himself inside.


    In the first place, it was himself. This posed no challenge at all to Ye Yuan.


    The Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly went according to the planned routine. Then Ji Canglan finally revealed his fangs.


    Due to the fact that they drank a poison during the Pill Appreciation Grand Assembly which made people temporarily lose their abilities, Ji Zhengyang and Ji Qingyun were already currently lambs awaiting slaughter.


    "Master, don''t blame this disciple for being heartless. This disciple also can''t help it." Ji Canglan pointed the sword in his hand at Ji Zhengyang.


    Ji Zhengyang''s heart was akin to dead ashes. He shut his eyes and said, "Now that things have come to this, no point talking anymore. I only wish that you can spare Yun-er''s life."


    Hearing that, Ji Canglan smiled sinisterly. "My apologies, Respectable Master, I''m afraid I can''t satisfy this dying wish of yours. If the roots of the weeds aren''t removed, they will grow again come spring. I don''t want to leave behind an enemy with such potential. Junior Apprentice Brother Yun''s talent is astonishing. As long as he''s given a chance, he will probably have the strength to threaten me after several decades."


    Finishing, Ji Canglan swung his longsword. A gleam of sword light shot directly towards Ye Yuan.


    At this time, Ji Zhengyang''s body suddenly moved. He blocked this sword light for Ye Yuan!


    Without essence energy to protect his body, Ji Zhengyang''s body was instantaneously pulverized by the sword light!


    At the same time, the might of Ji Zhengyang''s divine soul abruptly erupted and swept towards Ji Canglan!


    Seeing the situation, Ji Canglan howled, "You miserable old fool! You actually ignited your divine soul?! Do you want your soul to dissipate?!"


    Rumble!


    A violent clash. Ji Zhengyang''s divine soul crumbled away, while Ji Canglang also vomited a large mouthful of blood. Clearly, he had also sustained injuries that were not minor.


    Ye Yuan looked on at this scene coldly and did not become agitated nor was he indignant. There was not even any trace of emotion.


    Having experienced once again this scene, which was engraved into his bones and heart, it was equivalent to prying open the scars in his heart. This sort of spiritual pain was something that the average person could not feel.


    Yet, when the illusionary realm reached this moment, it was also incredibly dangerous! If he could not make it through, Ye Yuan would no longer exist after today!


    Ji Canglan held the sword as he clutched his chest and walked towards Ye Yuan step by step.


    "Don''t blame Senior Apprentice Brother, Junior Yun. I also can''t help it myself. Take care along the way," Ji Canglan said as he was walking.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ji Canglan and suddenly gave a light smile.


    Ye Yuan crossed his legs to sit and shut his eyes as if he totally gave up resisting.


    However, as Ji Canglan''s approached, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body gradually became fleeting; until towards the end, his aura could not be sensed at all, as if he had died.


    With a slash, the entire world gradually became dim.


    Fainter and hazier . . .


    Finally, it vanished . . .


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and felt the real world, muttering to himself, "Is this Heart Like Still Water?"

 Chapter 99: Essence Energy Vortex!

    Chapter 99: Essence Energy Vortex!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Inside the pavilion opposite the Nine Heavens Peak, Su Yubai stood up and patted the dust off his body.


    "Nothing to see anymore. Let''s go. It''s hopeless for Ye Yuan. I even thought that he had some reliance, to dare tackle the Nine Heavens Road. In the end, he only crossed five steps in the second stage and was done."


    "I don''t want to watch anymore either. Waste of time!"


    "Time to go, time to go. After such a long time, turns out it''s a farce. I still thought that there was some show to watch. After messing around for the greater part of a day, he''s still the same as the rest."


    Su Yubai walked off, and the other elders naturally lost interest and stood up one after another.


    They watched Ye Yuan stand there unmoved for four hours, and were actually bored out of their minds already.


    Now that they were assured Ye Yuan would not wake up, they naturally felt that there was no longer the need to watch on.


    Su Yubai circled past the stone table and led the crowd out of the pavilion.


    After just a few steps, there was suddenly a commotion coming from the students at the foot of the mountain.


    "Quick, look! Ye Yuan moved!"


    "En? He''s actually meditating on the spot? What''s he trying to do?"


    "He''s not thinking about cultivating on the spot, right? Or has he already run amok?"


    "Does running amok look like that? Doesn''t seem so? Looking at this appearance, it seems more like cultivating. But what''s the use of doing something like embracing Buddha''s feet at his hour of need?"


    "Ye Yuan always exceeds expectations when doing things. I really don''t know what he''s trying to do. But looking at his appearance, he should have just escaped from inside the illusionary realm. But he only walked five steps. How is he going to cross the remaining steps at the back?"


    Ye Yuan''s actions finally let the frustrated crowd find a topic of conversation once again. All manners of speculations spread out among the crowd.


    The three people, Huyan Yong, Feng Ruoqing, and Feng Zhirou, who were initially already in despair, finally let out a sigh of relief right now.


    "This rascal really scared me to death. I even thought that he won''t ever wake up anymore!" Huyan Yong exclaimed and wiped away his cold sweat.


    Feng Ruoqing, on the other hand, continued to watch Ye Yuan silently, as if she had discovered something.


    "What is it, Teacher Feng? Is something wrong?" Huyan Yong asked curiously.


    "Teacher Huyan, do you feel that Ye Yuan''s aura isn''t quite right?"


    "Mm?" Huyan Yong felt Ye Yuan''s aura, and sure enough, he felt that something was amiss. "This rascal, why is the aura of his body becoming increasingly weaker? Could some problem have occurred?"


    Feng Ruoqing shook her head. Clearly, she also could not make clear of the situation.


    However, their perceptions were locked onto Ye Yuan. But they discovered that Ye Yuan''s aura became increasingly weaker, progressively weaker until in the end, it actually directly vanished!


    The three people were completely stunned.


    "Mm?His aura vanished? Could it be that he''s already dead?" Su Yubai had clearly also discovered Ye Yuan''s transformation.


    Elder Lin suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Su, that Ye Yuan''s aura has already completely vanished. Did he already die on the Nine Heavens Road?"


    With Elder Lin''s words, Su Yubai became even more certain about his idea.


    Quashing the wild elation in his heart, Su Yubai nodded and said, "Although the situation is somewhat bizarre, his aura has indeed completely vanished. Looks like he''s really dead already."


    "Snort! Slighting the Elders Council! This outcome was deserved! Leaving a whole corpse can be counted as letting him off lightly!" Elder Lin derided coldly.


    "Haha. Dean Hu already said that this was a student''s right. Since he chose this way of dying, and he''s already dead now, it also counts as us Elders Council enforcing the academy''s rules."


    Su Yubai current mood was evidently excellent and turned around to console Elder Lin instead.


    Although the process was a little winded, Ye Yuan finally still died. He had finally helped the Su Family to eliminate this hidden danger.


    Inside the pavilion, Hu Changsheng looked at Ye Yuan''s ''corpse,'' gave a long sigh, and also got up to prepare to leave.


    Majority of the Heaven rank students with higher cultivation also discovered Ye Yuan''s abnormal condition. After feeling sorry for him, they involuntarily secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    One Long Tang already crushed them until they could not breathe. With the addition of an even more monstrous Ye Yuan, their life in the future would be even worse off.


    "Didn''t expect it; I really didn''t expect it. Ye Yuan actually died on the fifth step! Oh,Old Long, no matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, he''s already a has been. You also saw the terror of the Nine Heavens Road. Are you still going to challenge the Nine Heavens Road?" Zuo Bugui said to Long Tang.


    Long Tang narrowed his eyes. Clearly, he did not really believe the truth in front of him.


    Ye Yuan charged through the first stage so smoothly, how could he possibly fall at the fifth step in the second stage?


    This was too absurd!


    Hearing Zuo Bugui''s words, Long Tang nodded and said, "Even if the Nine Heavens Road were a mountain of knives or a flaming sea, a dragon''s lair or a tiger''s den, I would still challenge it! Either I succeed or I perish!"


    "You''re seriously stubborn! Forget it. I know that you''re proud and arrogant. I won''t be able to persuade you. Since you''re giving me your rank of the first place with both hands, I''ll kindly accept it!"


    "First place? What the point of first place in the Dan Wu Academy? If you like it so much, then take it," Long Tang said nonchalantly.


    "Sigh. You''ve really been ''poisoned deeply''! He''s already dead. Are you still going to keep watching?"


    "Watch a while more. I keep feeling that Ye Yuan won''t die so easily!"


    "Since when did you become like this, Old Long? He''s clearly already . . . Mm? What''s going on?"


    While the two were talking, they suddenly felt some irregular movements happening to the surrounding essence energy.


    The students at the foot of the mountain already started preparing to leave when suddenly, a wild wind whistled past, and the essence energy around them started becoming thinner.


    "What''s happening?"


    "The Nine Heavens Peak is a land with extremely abundant essence energy. How come now the energy became so thin? Could it be that someone is breaking through?"


    "It''s Ye Yuan! Ye Yuan is breaking through!"


    Somebody shouted from within the crowd, drawing everyone''s eyes toward Ye Yuan once again.


    It was only to see that the essence energy in the vicinity of the Nine Heavens Peak surged towards Ye Yuan frenziedly at this moment!


    With Ye Yuan as the center, it formed a storm of enormous essence energy! An essence energy vortex!


    Ye Yuan''s aura also swiftly grew stronger!


    Huyan Yong and Feng Ruoqing exchanged glances and saw the astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    "This is . . . Heart Like Still Water! Ye Yuan, he . . . actually reached the Heart Like Still Water Realm! This is simply inconceivable! Even among Crystal Formation Realms, there were only extremely few people who actually reached such level in terms of heart realm. This is a realm from the legends! Ye Yuan is only at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm, so how did he do it?" Huyan Yong sucked in a cold breath.


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes flashed. Clearly, she was also in the midst of shock. "Pretty soon, it''s not going to be Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm anymore. He''s about to break through right now!"


    "This punk is seriously too shocking! He only just broke through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm a few days back, and now, he''s actually going to cross a minor stage again and directly reach the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm! Truly terrifying!" Huyan Yong was astounded.


    But seeing how Ye Yuan was so peerlessly talented, he also felt quite pleased in his heart. No matter what, Ye Yuan''s relationship with the academy was sowed.


    He also felt extremely proud for such a genius to walk out of the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy.


    Feng Ruoqing took a deep breath and questioned, "Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm? Look at this amount of essence energy, Teacher Huyan; is it only the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm?"

 Chapter 100: Peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!

    Chapter 100: Peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Only after hearing what Feng Ruoqing said was Huyan Yong stunned.


    Sensing the increasingly wilder essence energy vortex, Huyan Yong was once again shocked.


    The feeling of this essence energy vortex almost caught up to breaking through the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Such violent essence energy, was Ye Yuan not afraid that he would be stuffed to death?"


    However, Heart Like Still Water was a legendary realm. Perhaps Ye Yuan could really digest it!


    Thinking up to here, Huyan Yong could not help but look forward to it.


    "Hehe. This rascal really brings people surprises repeatedly."


    Huyan Yong was secretly excited. However, Su Yubai''s expression currently did not look good.


    He originally already confirmed Ye Yuan''s death. Now, not only did Ye Yuan come back to life, he even started breaking through by taking advantage of the situation.


    It had only been a few days since he broke through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. He was actually going to break through again!


    Right now, Su Yubai could only curse that Ye Yuan was stuffed to death by this violent essence energy vortex!


    Also, Ye Yuan actually reached the Heart Like Still Water Realm from the legends on the Nine Heavens Road!


    He had lived for such a long time, and he did not even know what was called Heart Like Still Water, yet a fifteen-year-old brat like Ye Yuan actually reached such a level in heart realm!


    After raging, Su Yubai suddenly felt waves of uneasiness.


    He suddenly recalled the words that Ye Yuan said three days back.


    "I''ll remember this, you old fart! I, Ye Yuan, will repay today''s grudge a hundredfold in the future! I will definitely take your head within a year!"


    The words were still echoing in Su Yubai''s ears. Back then, he only treated it as a joke.


    But now, Su Yubai''s heart started to become uneasy.


    Within a year? He can''t really do it, right?


    Thinking up to here, Su Yubai shuddered uncontrollably.


    . . . . . .


    The wild essence energy vortex started roaring with Ye Yuan as its center and shrouded a radius of several hundred meters. The students sensed that the surrounding essence energy was virtually sucked dry.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and greedily absorbed the essence energy surrounding the Nine Heavens Peak. His aura could be clearly seen as it rose swiftly.


    However, Ye Yuan who was residing at the heart of the vortex did not move even in the slightest, as if he was still a dead man.


    This movement and stillness gave everyone a huge contrast, making them felt the situation was very odd.


    Nevertheless, what people were most concerned with was what Ye Yuan was trying to do.


    Such an enormous essence energy vortex could completely let a martial artist break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Was this Ye Yuan trying to directly break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm?


    Under everyone''s dumbstruck faces, Ye Yuan used Heart Like Still Water to revolve the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. The efficiency actually became several times faster than normal!


    He frenziedly refined the essence energy to bring it into his Dantian. His cultivation realm was also in the process of steadily rising!


    The cultivation breakthrough this time around was not Ye Yuan initiating the breakthrough, but rather, it followed naturally after the breakthrough in heart realm.


    As the saying went, when the water was full, it automatically overflowed. This was that logic.


    After 15 minutes, Ye Yuan''s realm broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm without any surprises, stepping into the final minor stage in the Essence Qi Realm.


    However, this was just the beginning. The essence energy vortex did not show any sign of stopping, and Ye Yuan continued to refine essence energy ceaselessly.


    . . . . . .


    "Too maniacal! He absorbed so much essence energy and only broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm. If it were me, it would probably be enough to reach the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "Yeah. What he''s cultivating is definitely not the academy''s cultivation law. It''s impossible for the academy''s Tier 3 cultivation laws to have this kind of effects."


    "When you compare people, people have to die. When you compare goods, goods have to be thrown away! I wonder if I can be as monstrous as Ye Yuan if I cultivate such a powerful cultivation law."


    "Are you still sleeping? Don''t talk about cultivating Ye Yuan''s cultivation law; are you even able to cultivate the academy''s Tier 3 cultivation laws? High-tier cultivation laws are incomparably profound. If everybody could cultivate them, then wouldn''t everyone be able to ascend to the Divine Realm?"


    "That''s true. But how is Ye Yuan trying to break through? Looking at his appearance, is he not going to give up if he doesn''t break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm?!"


    "Initially, I thought that way too, but looking at his current performance, the amount of essence energy required to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm must definitely be horrifying! Even though this essence energy vortex is powerful, I''m afraid it isn''t sufficient for him to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm."


    Under the crowd''s discussions, Ye Yuan''s cultivation steadily rose and rapidly broke through to the peak of Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Then, it directly broke through to the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Following which, Ye Yuan''s momentum did not slow down in the slightest. His aura became even more vigorous until he broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm before finally gradually slowing.


    Finally, Ye Yuan''s realm stopped at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, just a single step away from the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The essence energy vortex dispersed, and Ye Yuan slowly got up. He muttered to himself, "In the previous life, I cultivated to the Divine King level without having any breakthrough in heart realm. I didn''t think that while I''m currently only at the Essence Qi Realm, I would unexpectedly have such breakthrough. Martial artists placed emphasis on essence energy but disparaged heart realm. I didn''t expect heart realm to actually be so important. Perhaps that intangible, abstruse Heaven Man Unity might even have some sort of connection with the Deity Realm!"


    There was also the distinction between realms within the heart realm, except, it was not as systematic as cultivation realms. It was also somewhat hard to grasp.


    Heart realm was divided into three realms. They were respectively Heart Like Still Water, Heart Like Monolith, and the mythical Heaven Man Unity!


    Heart realm could not be trained. One could only rely on lucky chances and enlightened comprehension.


    Heart Like Still Water, akin to an old well without ripples.


    It was easy to say, but in reality, it was extremely difficult to achieve.


    The world was plagued with turmoil and confusion. How could it be simple to truly achieve Heart Like Still Water when in the midst of the pugilistic world.


    Those who could reach Heart Like Still Water Realm probably would not number more than ten in the entire Endless World.


    Ye Yuan initially did not expect to break through the heart realm either. He immersed himself inside the illusionary realm all so that he could rehearse for when meeting Ji Canglan in the future.


    Ji Canglan''s might was not something that the average person could comprehend. Even if he cultivated to the Divine King level once again, Ye Yuan also did not have confidence in killing him.


    If Ye Yuan was unable to remain calm and collected when facing Ji Canglan in the future, then the person who would be defeated would very well be himself!


    In reality, it was already extremely perilous for Ye Yuan just now in the illusionary realm. He was already at the edge of losing himself.


    However, when Ji Zhengyang died yet again due to protecting him, something flashed across Ye Yuan''s heart, and he comprehended Heart Like Still Water at the moment of crisis. That was how he broke the illusionary realm and exited.


    Heart Like Still Water was actually not that amazing in the Divine Realm. Martial artists at the Divine King level could basically all reach this realm.


    Of course, with the exception of Ye Yuan.


    However, Heart Like Monolith was not so easy to attain. According to what Ye Yuan knew, there was scarcely anyone who reached that level even among the Divine Realm''s Divine Kings.


    As for the mythical Heaven Man Unity, Ye Yuan had never heard of anyone who accomplished it.


    "Looks like the person who created the Nine Heavens Road had reached the Heart Like Still Water realm in the past. He fused his understanding into the illusionary realm to help students sense it. Seriously impressive. Except, I''m afraid it would be difficult to comprehend this Heart Like Still Water if one didn''t have massive lucky encounters."


    Ye Yuan had already praised this Nine Heavens Road more than once.


    Ye Yuan must admit that the difficulty of this Nine Heavens Road had surpassed his imaginations.


    He even nearly lost himself while in the illusionary realm, let alone the other students.


    Even those students who had made it past the Nine Heavens Road most likely only forced their way through it. They were, however, unable to comprehend the true essence of the Nine Heavens Road.


    This Nine Heavens Road was actually a vast treasure trove!


    This middle stage of 333 steps no longer posed any more challenge to Ye Yuan now that his heart realm had already broken through to Heart Like Still Water Realm.


    He made his move and headed directly for the third stage!

 Chapter 101: Former Hall Master, Martial Hall

    Chapter 101: Former Hall Master, Martial Hall


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan ascended the following steps like taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.


    Having reached the Heart Like Still Water Realm, this Nine Heavens Road''s illusionary realm practically only existed nominally to him.


    He ascended one step after another, strong and firm, and crossed the entire second stage in an instant.


    Su Yubai''s face turned completely black looking at this scene.


    He had already sentenced Ye Yuan to death twice and did not expect Ye Yuan to revive again.


    Not only did he revive, but he was also living even stronger!


    Now, he could not leave nor could he stay. He stood there very awkwardly.


    He was not resigned to leaving either. If he did not witness Ye Yuan being annihilated by the Nine Heavens Road with his own eyes, he would not feel at ease when eating and sleeping even if he returned.


    But he had already walked out of the pavilion. How could he not leave now? Could it be that he had to turn back, sit down, and be critical about it?


    He could not afford to lose his face!


    Su Yubai''s face alternated color several times. Finally, he swept his sleeves and left.


    The other elders actually really wanted to see if Ye Yuan could succeed in his challenge. This was a historic moment!


    However, they saw that Su Yubai had left, so they naturally did not find it appropriate to sit back down. They could only follow along.


    On the other side, Zuo Bugui watched Ye Yuan''s steady footsteps and involuntarily swallowed his saliva.


    To actually break through in such a manner on the Nine Heavens Road, he truly no longer knew how to describe Ye Yuan.


    But at this moment, Long Tang suddenly turned around and was about to leave. Zuo Bugui was stupefied and hurriedly asked, "You aren''t watching anymore, Old Long?"


    Long Tang did not slow his footsteps and merely waved his hands with his back facing Zuo Bugui. "The overall situation has been set. There''s nothing to see anymore. I''ll go make my preparations. The next one will be me!"


    Finishing, Long Tang left straightaway.


    "The overall situation has been set?" Zuo Bugui repeated this and then muttered, "He''s so sure that Ye Yuan can clear it? Even if he already broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, it''s still only the Essence Qi Realm. The last 333 steps are the most challenging segment of the road. Can an Essence Qi Realm cross it?"


    Naturally, nobody answered him. The only response he got was Long Tang''s solid footsteps.


    . . . . . .


    Stepping onto the 667th step, the illusion in front of Ye Yuan immediately vanished and changed back to the Nine Heavens Road''s initial appearance, a set of steps connecting to the heavens!


    Yet this time around, a green-robed elder appeared in front of Ye Yuan. He had a benevolent look, with the airs of an expert.


    "Young man, to have made it here shows that you''re a person with unmatched talent. However, this third stage is the most challenging round in the entire Nine Heavens Road. Are you ready for it?"


    The old man actually opened his mouth to talk when he saw Ye Yuan. He actually had his own consciousness!


    But Ye Yuan already saw that he was an apparition at first glance. Hence, he was not overly alarmed.


    "To actually leave a trace of divine sense behind on the Nine Heavens Road, could it be that this Nine Heavens Road was created by Senior?" Ye Yuan did not answer the old man''s question but asked another question instead.


    The old man could not help being surprised by Ye Yuan asking that. "You can actually see through my apparition? Such a wonder, a wonder! Looking at your bone age, you are 15 or 16 years old, yet you have such knowledge! However, this Nine Revolutions Turbid Heaven Array was not created by this old man. Rather, it was created by my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s founding ancestor, You Wuya! This old man was about to reach the end of my lifespan, that''s why I willingly split a wisp of my divine sense into the Nine Heavens Road to host the third round!"


    The green-robed old man twirled his beard with a smile as he revealed an admiring look. Clearly, he idolized that person, You Wuya, greatly.


    Ye Yuan came to a sudden realization. Only now did he finally know the Nine Heavens Road''s origins. It was actually established by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s founding father, You Wuya!


    From this, one could see that You Wuya was definitely a dazzlingly talented individual.


    Others might not understand, but Ye Yuan could tell that this Nine Revolutions Turbid Heaven Array employed the law of nine and faintly incorporated the Heavenly Dao. It was not something that the average person could construct!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could see that this Nine Revolution Turbid Heaven Array''s power was far beyond this. What was set up on this Nine Heavens Peak was merely a simplified version of the grand array.


    The Dan Wu Academy was only the outer sect of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. How could the Tranquil Cloud Sect possibly lay out the complete version of the array formation here?


    However, even if it was the simplified version, this Nine Revolutions Turbid Heaven Array was still an extremely remarkable array formation.


    "So it turns out that it was created by Founding Ancestor You. No wonder it has such power!" Ye Yuan could not resist praising it.


    " En? You actually comprehended Heart Like Still Water?"


    The old man sized up Ye Yuan and was greatly surprised. Ye Yuan''s mental state was calm, akin to an old well without ripples. Clearly, it was the sign of having comprehended Heart Like Still Water.


    The old man willingly guarded the stage, so he naturally understood the array considerably and was aware that this second round incorporated the Heart Like Still Water concept. But he did not expect a 15-year-old brat to comprehend it!


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly, and he said, "This Junior comprehended it by luck."


    Only now did the green-robed old man examine Ye Yuan closely and commented agitatedly, "Good! Good! Good! It''s truly talented people will be born to take over the previous generation! Heaven is protecting my Tranquil Cloud Sect! My Tranquil Cloud Sect will surely revive in the future with such a talent! I''ve waited for a millennium, and finally, I saw hope! Quickly tell me your name, young man!"


    "This Junior is Ye Yuan. May I know Senior''s name?" Ye Yuan asked respectfully.


    Ye Yuan was still very respectful in his heart towards a figure like him who sacrificed himself for the development of the sect.


    One had to know that this elder already did not have much lifespan back then. Splitting out divine sense to host the array formation would result in an even greater loss of lifespan.


    What reason did he have to be discourteous towards such a selfless person?


    "Ye Yuan? Not bad, not bad. This old man is Lu Yan. I''m the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s 35th generation, Martial Hall, Hall Master!"


    "So senior is the Martial Hall''s Hall Master. This Junior pays his respect." Ye Yuan bowed respectfully.


    " Haha! Quickly get up, quickly get up. I''m already a dead person, so what''s the point of you doing this sort of empty courtesy? I''ve already hosted this array for over a hundred years. My divine sense is about to be exhausted already. To be able to encounter a peerless genius such as yourself before I perish, this old man can die peacefully!"


    Through special means, divine sense could indeed be sustained for a long time. But there would come the day where it would eventually perish.


    This Lu Yan''s divine sense could at most hold on for another ten years. At that time, it would completely dissipate from this world.


    A former powerhouse, yet he still had to return to dust. This was Lu Yan''s desolation and also the anguish of all martial artists.


    Even an unparalleled Divine King could not overcome the ravages of time.


    Nevertheless, Lu Yan was a broad-minded person. He had long treated life and death lightly.


    "I''ve hosted the Nine Revolutions Turbid Heaven Array for nearly two hundred years. Yet, the number of students I met were barely around ten people. Only that brat called Mo Yuntian from several years back left some impression on me. But compared to you, he was much more inferior!"


    "Senior is too kind." Ye Yuan naturally would not blow his own trumpet in front of Lu Yan.


    Although Lu Yan only hosted for nearly two hundred years, he was obviously extremely clear on the situation inside this Nine Heavens Road.


    Those so-called geniuses did not even register on his radar.


    How could one talk about being a genius if they could not even make it past three rounds?


    What the Tranquil Cloud Sect required were not this kind of genius. What was needed were geniuses who could revive the Tranquil Cloud Sect, rally, and lead them!


    The purpose of the Nine Heavens Road''s existence also laid here!


    While Mo Yuntian made it past the Nine Heavens Road, it was merely luck.


    Heart Like Still Water and this third round was where the true essence of the Nine Heavens Road laid.


    Otherwise, why would there be a need to sacrifice a Martial Hall''s Hall Head''s lifespan to host the array formation?


    "Can you promise me something, young man?" Lu Yan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

 Chapter 102: All Out Array Formations!

    Chapter 102: All Out Array Formations!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Does Senior Lu want me to aid the Tranquil Cloud Sect to eclipse the other sects?"


    From the exchange of words previously, Ye Yuan naturally knew Lu Yan''s thoughts.


    "Haha! This child is teachable! You indeed understood from just a bit! However, I don''t only want you to eclipse the various sects in the Southern Domain. What I wish for even more is for you to lead the Tranquil Cloud Sect back to the Northern Domain!" Lu Yan said agitatedly.


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan smiled bitterly. "Isn''t Senior Lu thinking too highly of me? I''m just a junior at the Essence Qi Realm."


    "Haha. You don''t have to be modest. To be able to comprehend Heart Like Still Water, your future accomplishments are limitless! I only hope that when you possess sufficient strength, you will remember the water''s source; that''s all."


    Lu Yan was already a dead man, so he naturally would not demand great help from a shallow relationship. If the request were too overboard, Ye Yuan would never agree. Even if he promised, it would also be impossible for him to do it in the future.


    ''Remembering the water''s source,'' these four words hit the spot nicely. It pointed out that Ye Yuan''s future accomplishments were due to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, yet it did not mention any specific request.


    What to do in the future would still have to rely on Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan were an ingrate, then these words would obviously be wasted. But if Ye Yuan were someone who valued loyalty and relationships greatly, these words would have buried a seed inside Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior worries too much. I''m originally a disciple of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Contributing to the sect is expected of me."


    Lu Yan nodded with a smile. Clearly, he was very pleased with Ye Yuan''s reply.


    He did not need Ye Yuan to promise him anything. It was good enough for Ye Yuan to remember that the Tranquil Cloud Sect was good to him.


    As for whether Ye Yuan could reach that height in the future, Lu Yan had never doubted it.


    Back then, You Wuya''s talent did not stand out at all. But ever since he fully comprehended Heart Like Still Water in the Spirit Condensation Realm, nobody could stop his rise anymore.


    Even if Ye Yuan did not reach You Wuya''s height, at the very least, he would have adequate strength to bring the Tranquil Cloud Sect back to the Northern Domain.


    The power difference between the Northern and Southern Domains was rather huge. The truly mighty sects in the Endless World were mainly all in the Northern Domain.


    Back then, the Tranquil Cloud Sect was also a major sect in the Northern Domain. Afterward, because their new generation could not handle things like the older generation, they were swallowed up by the other sects and even nearly lost their foundation.


    All these years, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelon had never given up on the goal of returning to the Northern Domain. However, the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations were poor and barren lands, and their talents were zilch. How could it be easy to want to return to the Northern Domain?


    There were also a few people who made it past the Nine Heavens Road these past few years among the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations'' Dan Wu Academy. But not a single person had comprehended Heart Like Still Water.


    Lu Yan laughed and exclaimed, "Haha! To be able to hear your words, the knot in this old man''s heart these few years is finally resolved! Counting the main sect''s Nine Heavens Road, there are still ten old undying guarding the stage like this old fellow. But they don''t have my fortune! I didn''t think that I could witness you crossing the Nine Heavens Road in my living years. This old man can finally pass away with a smile."


    One could see that Lu Yan was indeed extremely satisfied, and he no longer cared about life and death.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior doesn''t have to be pessimistic. Heaven does not seal off all roads. Perhaps you still have the chance to witness the day the Tranquil Cloud Sect returns to the Northern Domain!"


    Lu Yan smiled, and he waved his hands. "Don''t comfort old me, little brat. Life and death are up to fate. This old man has already seen past it."


    Lu Yan thought that Ye Yuan was consoling him. But with Ye Yuan''s methods, it was not impossible to bring Lu Yan back from the dead as long as he had adequate strength.


    Ye Yuan did not explain anything either. It would be up to Lu Yan''s fate whether or not he could hang on until that day.


    If he had sufficient strength in the future and Lu Yan''s divine sense had not dissipated yet, he would come and help Lu Yan.


    "Alright. Enough of this nonsense. Even though you comprehended Heart Like Still Water, you still have to pass this third round. The third round''s raison d''��tre is my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s supreme skill, the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. The might of this set of sword technique is unrivaled. How much you can comprehend is up to you. I will control the power of the array. If you can''t hold on, I will withdraw the array and directly let you pass through the third round!" Lu Yan said.


    The Nine Heavens Road had stood for a thousand years before a genius who could comprehend the Heart Like Still Water Realm came. Lu Yan did not wish for Ye Yuan to be killed by the array. That would be playing too big and risky.


    After all, Ye Yuan was only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. His chances of making it through the third stage were honestly not that great.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s concern. But please don''t control the power of the array formation. If I don''t even dare to take on the Nine Heavens Road, then what qualifications does this Junior have to help the sect return to the Northern Domain?" Ye Yuan rejected Lu Yan''s good intentions instead.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would actually receive this sort of preferential treatment. But after thinking about it, he still rejected it.


    He comprehended Heart Like Still Water in the second round, so he became curious about the third stage.


    Even Heart Like Still Water was only placed in the second round. If one passed the third round, what benefits could they receive?


    At this point, he would no longer look down on the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    You Wuya was an absolute genius, but why had he never heard of his name before in the Divine Realm?


    But to be able to comprehend Heart Like Still Water in the Lower Realms, the sword art he left behind was definitely worth a look.


    Lu Yan naturally did not know what Ye Yuan was thinking and thought that it was because of his pride and arrogance. He could not resist to persuade Ye Yuan. "Ye Yuan, the power of this Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art is extraordinary. Even for the sake of testing genius students, there were still many Spirit Condensation Realm students who fell to this sword art. Although you comprehended the Heart Like Still Water Realm, your power is shallow after all. It''s better to think first before you act!"


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t senior tell me to comprehend the sword art just now? If you control the might of the sword art, then how can my insights be deep? If I learn a half-ass Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art later, then wouldn''t it be a joke?"


    "This . . ." Lu Yan had no words to retort with.


    Ye Yuan continued saying, "Senior, this Junior is aware that you are doing this for my own good. But which true powerhouse grew up inside a greenhouse? Wanting to become an expert of my generation in a completely stable and safe way is undoubtedly a fool''s talk. I believe that Senior You Wuya also went through nearly certain death back then before he could have such achievements, right?"


    Lu Yan involuntarily let out a long sigh after hearing that, and then he said, "Looks like this old man was mistaken. I actually couldn''t see things as clearly as a teenage brat like you. Forget it, forget it. Regardless of time or fate, try your best!"


    Ye Yuan bowed towards Lu Yan and said, "Many thanks to Senior for allowing it!"


    Finishing, Lu Yan''s figure vanished, and the array immediately seethed with killing intent.


    Ye Yuan could feel that this was a true blue killing array! One would lose their life on the spot if they let their guard down.


    At the same time, the back segment of the Nine Heavens Road became enshrouded in clouds. Ye Yuan''s figure also disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    Everybody could feel the waves of killing intent coming from the Nine Heavens Road. Even those Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists also felt their scalp tingle involuntarily.


    Even the outside world could sense such vivid killing intent, let alone Ye Yuan who was residing within the array!


    Everyone''s hearts tightened, and their initial confidence in Ye Yuan turned into anxiousness right now.


    They knew that Ye Yuan was about to face the most terrifying stage.


    Could he really make it through?

 Chapter 103: Sword Intent vs Sword Intent!

    Chapter 103: Sword Intent vs Sword Intent!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What''s going on? The power of this array is not right!"


    Huyan Yong felt a chill run down his back when he sensed the surging killing intent from the Nine Heavens Road.


    Feng Ruoqing knitted her brows and said, "Why would the third stage have such incredible power?"


    "That''s right! I was also present back then when Mo Yuntian challenged the Nine Heavens Road. There wasn''t such a piercingly cold sword intent from the third stage!"


    "Could it be because Ye Yuan comprehended Heart Like Still Water?"


    Huyan Yong sucked in a deep breath and said, "The Nine Heavens Road''s array will become stronger when it encounters someone stronger. Could it be that the Nine Heavens Road''s judgment of Ye Yuan had already surpassed Mo Yuntian? But he''s only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    "Even though he''s only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, Mo Yuntian had not comprehended Heart Like Still Water. It was said that he crossed the second stage with a ragged appearance, far from how effortlessly Ye Yuan did it."


    "There''s only this explanation. Hopefully, nothing happens to Ye Yuan."


    No matter how they guessed, they would never have guessed that the array possessed such incredible might because Ye Yuan himself requested for it.


    To make the guardian of the stage invoke the array at full power, Ye Yuan was probably unprecedented and unrepeatable.


    At the foot of the mountain, many students were forced back by the raging sword intent. The initially packed plaza was currently split into multiple segments.


    The front rows were mainly Spirit Condensation Realm students. They were still able to withstand the encroachment of the sword intent.


    Behind them was a vast stretch of empty space, and behind the empty space were those Earth Rank students. Those even further out at the periphery were students with inadequate strength.


    Ye Yuan who was residing at the heart of the storm, on the other hand, did not show the slightest signs of discomfort towards the violent sword intent. He stood with his hands behind his back while the fierce wind worked up by the sword intent tore his clothes. But Ye Yuan himself remained completely unmoved like a pine tree.


    But at this moment, Ye Yuan''s disposition was drastically different from usual. It was as if his entire being had transformed into a sharp sword, and he was resonating with those raging sword intents.


    " Mm? You actually have your own sword intent as well!" Seeing the situation, Lu Yan was completely taken aback, as his voice transmitted from the void.


    "This Junior was lucky to have comprehended some sword intent. Compared to Senior You Wuya''s sword intent, it''s still far from it. It''s just able to forcefully protect myself."


    Ye Yuan was just being modest. How could his Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword Intent possibly be inferior to You Wuya''s?


    Except, Ye Yuan''s current cultivation realm was not high, and he himself also had the intention of restraining his sword intent to protect his body. That was why he did not unleash it around.


    But in terms of the sword intent''s level, You Wuya was just a Lower Realm expert back then. How could he possibly be mentioned in the same breath with Ye Yuan?


    One had to know that when Ye Yuan created the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword, even the Extreme Sword Divine King could not stop praising it!


    "Alright. Since that''s the case, you have to be careful! I''m going to attack now!" Lu Yan''s voice transmitted over.


    Ye Yuan replied indifferently, "Feel free to attack, Senior!"


    Then Ye Yuan trod across the steps while braving the sword shadows filling the skies.


    One step, second step, third step . . .


    Ye Yuan walked all the way for 30 steps, yet the azure sword shadows which filled the skies did not descend from start to the end. It just kept accumulating more and more.


    It was evident that Lu Yan had already pushed the quantity of these azure sword shadows to the limits, all for the final 33 steps where the attack would begin to land.


    Under so many sword shadows'' descend, even steel would also be shredded to rotten mud.


    These sword shadows were formed by sword intent. Under the influence of Lu Yan, the killing power would be extremely bloodcurdling.


    The students who challenged the stage in the past, including Mo Yuntian, all faced almost certain death under these sword shadows.


    But the sword shadows that Ye Yuan was facing currently were several times, even dozens of times greater than what the others had experienced! Even if a Spirit Condensation Realm came to the third stage, it would be tough to say whether or not they would be able to retreat fully!


    But Ye Yuan was presently behaving like nothing was wrong, and he strode out to the first of the 33 steps without hesitation!


    As expected, the sky full of sword shadows stabbed towards Ye Yuan like raindrops and looked like it was about to pierce Ye Yuan full of holes like a beehive.


    Right at that moment, Ye Yuan wielded his fingers like a sword and pointed to those sword shadows. A streak of faintly discernable sword qi shot towards those sword shadows.


    The imperceptible sword qi was engulfed instantly!


    Ye Yuan did not seem to give up resisting. His sword fingers drew a half-arc in midair and finally pointed to his right.


    At the next moment, an unimaginable scene occurred!


    The sword rain which obscured the skies actually collectively flew out to the right of Ye Yuan in front of that arc Ye Yuan drew before him and vanished entirely into the void!


    "What? Yo�C How did you do that?" From the void came Lu Yan''s alarmed voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, this Junior has some understanding in the application of sword intent. These sword intents might appear to be extremely powerful, but in reality, they are just rootless grass. scattered and not condensed. I used sword intent to tow them, so they would naturally deviate off course. This is an artful way of using a weaker force to deal with a greater force."


    "Sss . . . Have some . . . understanding?" Lu Yan muttered to himself.


    This sort of thing was easy to say, but to actually do it was extremely difficult!


    Forget about ''some knowledge'' towards sword intent, it would be incredibly arduous for even those who ''understood sword intent very well'' to do this!


    Lu Yan spent his entire life immersed in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, and he had remarkably profound understanding towards sword intent. But if he were the one just now, he might perhaps be able to do it, but he definitely could not do it like how Ye Yuan lifted a heavy object as if it was light!


    Only now did Lu Yan knew just how exaggerated Ye Yuan''s ''some understanding'' was.


    But this way, Lu Yan could finally put his heart completely at ease. He could also totally unleash the array formations at the back now. The greater Ye Yuan''s strength was, the higher the hopes of the Tranquil Cloud Sect returning to the Northern Domain!


    The second of the 33 steps, the quantity of the sword intent decreased to a thousand.


    This time around, Ye Yuan used two fingers before he could draw the sword intent away.


    The third of the 33 steps, the quantity of the sword intent decreased by another ten times. There were only a hundred!


    This time around, Ye Yuan unleashed five fingers!


    . . . . . .


    The number of sword intents of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art became increasingly lesser, while the number of fingers Ye Yuan used progressively increased.


    It was very clear that while the number of sword intents lessened, the power was multiple times greater than before!


    "The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art truly lives up to its reputation. To have such incredible power! The attack of my Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword is lacking, but it has no flaws to be exploited when using it for defense. Even so, this one hundred sword intents could actually force me to use five fingers. Truly impressive!" Ye Yuan was also full of praise in his heart.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan had already arrived at the final step of the 33 steps.


    This time, only one beam of sword intent condensed in front of Ye Yuan!


    But when Ye Yuan laid eyes on this sword intent, this face changed to a never before seen solemnness!


    This streak of sword intent was where the true meaning of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art lied!


    Like before, Ye Yuan took a step forward. The sword intent did not strike immediately but gradually became corporeal.


    "Be careful, Ye Yuan! This beam of sword intent is the pinnacle work of Founding Ancestor, You Wuya! It has unbelievable power. Even if you comprehended sword intent, you still have to be careful when dealing with it," Lu Yan warned.


    Ye Yuan said with a solemn face, "Many thanks for Senior''s warning. Ye Yuan knows!"


    Previously, those sword intents were overflowing with sword qi. But this time around, Ye Yuan could not even feel the slightest trace of sword qi leaking out!


    From this, one could tell just how consolidated this streak of sword intent was!


    When Ye Yuan''s foot landed on the Nine Heavens Road''s 999th step, the streak of sword intent finally mobilized!

 Chapter 104: Fusing Sword Intent!

    Chapter 104: Fusing Sword Intent!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "En? Just now, I clearly still felt that incredible sword intent. Why is there nothing now? Could it be that Ye Yuan succeeded in passing the stage?" Huyan Yong suddenly exclaimed.


    "If he succeeded in passing this round, the Nine Heavens Peak will condense a rainbow road to send him down the mountain."


    Feng Ruoqing''s words meant that Ye Yuan still had not passed the stage successfully.


    "But . . . what''s this situation? Could Ye Yuan have . . ." Being completely unable to view the situation inside the Nine Heavens Road, Huyan Yong''s imagination started running wild.


    "Stop making wild guesses. We should just wait patiently. However, the Nine Heavens Road this time is truly somewhat peculiar. I wonder what Ye Yuan encountered inside."


    . . . . . .


    Since the final streak of Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art started condensing, Ye Yuan already completely stop unleashing the sword intent from his body and shut his eyes.


    It seemed like he had completely given up on resisting.


    "What are you doing, Ye Yuan? This streak of sword intent is extraordinary! You will die like this!" Lu Yan''s voice transmitted over.


    Ye Yuan ignored Lu Yan. In reality, he had already entered a selfless state and sealed his five senses up.


    In Ye Yuan''s world, there was only that utterly terrifying sword intent left in front of him!


    He was savoring the sword intent of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art on purpose.


    While on this road, Ye Yuan had used the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword Intent to guide the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, and it was not a simple evasion of sword intent.


    Since the original intention of this array was to allow future generations to study the sword art, then this set of sword techniques would not place emphasis on killing.


    Except, this sword art was too powerful. Students were unable to comprehend it, which was why they fell here.


    From countless streaks sword intents to a thousand streaks, then a hundred streaks, ten streaks, and finally one streak. The quantity decreased, but the power progressively increased!


    It looked like this was the effect brought forth due to the manifestation of sword intent. But with Ye Yuan''s experience, it was naturally not so shallow.


    These final 333 steps were actually the process of how You Wuya gradually deepened his understanding towards sword intent!


    And this final sword was the most powerful sword intent which You Wuya left behind in the Endless World!


    If this final sword came out right away, then it would have been impossibly difficult to comprehend the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art''s sword intent.


    But the ingenious part was that You Wuya derived the forms on the steps from his lifetime''s comprehension. This resulted in the possibility of allowing the challenger to comprehend sword intent.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that the challenger could survive under such cold piercing sword intent.


    Nobody could be like Ye Yuan to have the thoughts to comprehend the sword intent leisurely.


    Although the Nine Heavens Road was rather bumpy, Ye Yuan had to admit that You Wuya had expended much care and thought for future generation disciples.


    "Why aren''t you using sword intent, Ye Yuan!" Seeing that streak of sword intent about to fire, Lu Yan''s anxious voice transmitted over once more.


    The sword intent was already fully activated. Even he had no way of stopping that sword intent anymore.


    Ye Yuan actually withdrew his own sword intent at the most critical moment, which caught him totally off-guard.


    Swoosh!


    When Ye Yuan''s feet landed on the 999th step, that sword intent suddenly activated.


    The sword intent converged without spreading, but Lu Yan was aware of this sword''s terror.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s eyes remained shut, as if he was unaware of the impending danger.


    Lu Yan gritted his teeth, and he instantly appeared in front of Ye Yuan!


    A faint phantom stretched his hand out to draw a circle in front of him. A streak of sword intent condensed and shot out.


    However, this streak of sword intent was just like an ant encountering an elephant when compared to that streak of sword intent which blasted over. The difference was too huge.


    Lu Yan was able to condense such a terrifying sword intent because he unleashed it through the array formation.


    Now that this streak of sword intent was released by him himself, the power was too weak.


    After all, Lu Yan was only a fragmented wisp of divine sense.


    He wanted to save Ye Yuan, but the flesh was weak even though the spirit was willing.


    "Many thanks, Senior Lu. Allow me." Right then, Ye Yuan''s calm voice sounded out from behind Lu Yan.


    Meanwhile, an aura which Lu Yan was familiar, yet also a stranger to, rose from Ye Yuan''s body.


    There was no time to think, so Lu Yan made way for Ye Yuan.


    That streak of sword intent was extremely fast and arrived in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    However, Lu Yan could clearly see that when the streak of sword intent reached several dozen meters in front of Ye Yuan, it became like it was submerged in mud. The speed became increasingly slower and progressively sluggish.


    Finally, that streak of sword intent came to a stop around two feet in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan reached out, and lightly tapped the tip of the sword with a finger. That streak of sword intent dissipated with a bang!


    Lu Yan who was watching by the side was flabbergasted and was utterly dazed for some time.


    He had never thought that this final stage could be cleared like this!


    This was simply inconceivable!


    He had hosted the Nine Heavens Road''s third stage for nearly 200 years and was all too clear on the might of that streak of sword intent.


    This was with the array formation at full power. Even a peak Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist might not be able to withstand that streak of sword intent, yet it scattered with a gentle tap from Ye Yuan?


    "Many thanks to Senior Lu for sacrificing yourself to save me just now!" Ye Yuan gave a bow to Lu Yan. Only now was his consciousness dragged back to reality.


    Lu Yan stared at Ye Yuan like he was looking at a monster. He smiled bitterly as he said, "My actions just now were redundant. That final sword would not have been able to deal any harm to you."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No matter what, Senior Lu ignored your own safety to save Ye Yuan just now. Ye Yuan will definitely engrave this in my heart."


    Lu Yan coming to save Ye Yuan was indeed unnecessary, but he did not know that Ye Yuan could deal with that beam of sword intent!


    If Lu Yan took on that sword just now, his soul would have disintegrated by now.


    Just based on this action was worthy of Ye Yuan remembering it.


    Lu Yan however just waved his hands and said emotionally, "I didn''t expect this! I really didn''t expect this! My Tranquil Cloud Sect actually birthed such a peerless genius like you! Not only did you comprehend the Heart Like Still Water Realm, you even fused together sword intents in the third stage!"


    Only after his shock did Lu Yan find out why he had such a peculiar feeling just now.


    The aura coming off of Ye Yuan carried his own sword intent''s aura and also had the aura of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!


    Ye Yuan, he actually merged the two completely different sword intent into one and transformed it into his own new sword intent!


    Even if You Wuya returned, such talent was beyond his!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Junior was lucky. Does this count as me passing?"


    From the moment the array formation was fully unleashed, Ye Yuan already had the thought of incorporating the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art''s sword intent into his own sword intent.


    The Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was excessively nimble, while the attack was lacking. This was its greatest flaw.


    But the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was a sword technique which emphasized on slaughter. The attack power was immensely powerful. Furthermore, this sword intent''s level was very high and not beneath that of Ye Yuan''s sword intent. It was very suited to be merged into the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword.


    Finally, he had a sudden epiphany at the last moment.


    The fused sword intent was on an entirely different level from before. Hence, that streak of sword intent was just like an obedient baby in front of Ye Yuan''s aura.


    The competition between sword intent was not a competition of strength, but instead, it was a competition towards the comprehension of sword intent. Otherwise, Ye Yuan would have long been pulverized into meat paste.


    Lu Yan nodded his head somewhat mechanically. "Of course it counts as passing! A flawless pass!"

 Chapter 105: First in a Thousand Years!

    Chapter 105: First in a Thousand Years!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Of course he passed!


    If even Ye Yuan''s result did not count as a pass, then nobody could clear it.


    After the shock, Lu Yan was wildly ecstatic in his heart. To have such a genius figure appear, why would the Tranquil Cloud Sect worry about not being able to return to the Northern Domain?


    "Ye Yuan, your talent is even greater than Founding Ancestor You Wuya! I''m afraid that your future accomplishments are probably not going to be inferior to him. My Tranquil Cloud Sect is truly fortunate to have you!" Lu Yan sighed in admiration.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s praise."


    Ye Yuan had never doubted his own talent before.


    In his previous life, it was just that he did not place his attention on the martial path. But his talent in Martial Dao was not necessarily inferior to Ji Canglan.


    "Rainbow Road! Appear!"


    Lu Yan gave a low cry and fired a shot of essence energy into the array. Following that, a multi-colored road appeared on the top of the Nine Heavens Peak.


    "Ye Yuan, right now, you can be considered to have inherited Founding Ancestor You Wuya''s mantle. I hope that you won''t forget today''s promise. I''m someone who''s about to die and won''t be able to see the day the Tranquil Cloud Sect returns to the Northern Domain. I hope that you will carry this Canghua Sword with you. If we can really return to the Northern Domain one day, I hope that you will bring it with you to the Northern Domain. Of course, if you don''t despise it, you can also use it for battle. It also counts as a continuation of my life!''


    Lu Yan gestured with one hand, and a green-tasseled sword flew into Ye Yuan''s hand.


    The instant the sword was in his hands, Ye Yuan knew how extraordinary it was. It was actually an 8 restrictions spirit artifact!


    Martial artists'' weapons were divided into precious artifacts, magic artifacts, and spirit artifacts. They were targeted at Essence Qi Realm martial artists, Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, and Crystal Formation Realm and above martial artists respectively.


    Precious artifacts and magic artifacts had no restrictions. Only spirit artifacts and above would apply restrictions to increase the power.


    A vast majority of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists'' weapons were merely magic artifacts. An 8 restrictions spirit artifact was considered as an excellent weapon even in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    It was obvious that this sword was Lu Yan''s lifeblood spirit artifact!


    If Ye Yuan''s conjecture was right, this sword had accompanied Lu Yan at the top of the Nine Heavens Peak for 200 years already. It was his spiritual support.


    Even though it was for Ye Yuan to bring the sword back to the Northern Domain in name, in reality, the last sentence was the crux. He was giving the sword!


    Ye Yuan was also aware of Lu Yan''s thoughts. He could see that Ye Yuan''s future accomplishments would be anything but ordinary. A tiny little Tranquil Cloud Sect might not be able to hold him.


    It was easy to add flowers to embroidery but tough to send out charcoal in the snow.


    Right now, he was bestowing some small favors to Ye Yuan. He only hoped that Ye Yuan would not forget the Tranquil Cloud Sect in the future.


    Of course, that was one scenario. The footsteps of an expert would not stop because of things like these.


    To martial artists, while the sect was important, the ultimate goal was the boundless great Dao!


    When Ye Yuan matured, how could a puny little 8 restrictions spirit artifact enter Ye Yuan''s eyes?


    Ye Yuan received the Canghua Sword, but his heart was filled with lament.


    Although this Canghua Sword was not some divine artifact, it held extraordinary significance to Lu Yan. He doing something like this was no doubt for the sect.


    Such a person was undoubtedly worthy of respect.


    Right then, Ye Yuan cupped his hands towards Lu Yan and then said, "Rest assured, Senior. This Junior will definitely not let Canghua be covered in dust!"


    Lu Yan stroked his beard and smiled as he said, " Haha! I naturally believe that you have the ability! Alright. Time''s up. You should leave now."


    Ye Yuan saluted respectfully, "This Junior takes his leave."


    . . . . . .


    A multi-colored winding road poured down like a magnificent rainbow.


    This was the Rainbow Road!


    In the entire history of the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy, the Rainbow Road had only appeared a mere five times!


    And this was the sixth time!


    "Quick! Look! It''s the Rainbow Road! My God! Ye Yuan, he really succeeded!"


    "A Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm clearing the Nine Heavens Road. This fellow is truly terrifying!"


    "Oh please, he''s already at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, alright?"


    "Wasn''t he at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm when he just started challenging it? Furthermore, he relied on his Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm strength to pass through the first stage!"


    "That''s true. This fellow is simply inhuman. Now, there''s a show to watch. Elder Su''s face has been resoundingly slapped by Ye Yuan!"


    "I totally forgot about Elder Su until you mentioned him. Didn''t Ye Yuan say that he will take his life within a year? Back then, we only treated it as a joke, but now . . ."


    "Ye Yuan''s improvement speed is too outrageous . . . Such a monster should fight it out with those geniuses in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. I''m afraid the Dan Wu Academy . . . already can''t keep him."


    "Yeah. At this rate, him surpassing Senior Apprentice Brother Long will probably take at most two to three months."


    Without question, Ye Yuan successfully passing the Nine Heavens Road caused a great stir among the students and instructors.


    He was the first in a thousand years!


    Coming down from the Rainbow Road, Huyan Yong, Feng Ruoqing, and her niece took the lead to welcome Ye Yuan


    "Hahaha! Good boy! You really widened my horizons! Some people plotted and schemed to harm you. But now, they are left dusty and dirty in appearance! Now that you cleared the Nine Heavens Road, let''s see if those people have anything else to say!"


    Huyan Yong was completely unbridled when he spoke in front of so many people. Even though there was no direct mention of names, anyone could tell that he was talking about Su Yubai.


    However, what he said was right. This time around, Su Yubai had lost a great deal of face.


    After being preoccupied with him for a long time and the schemes by the Elders Council, he did not even manage to play a puny Ye Yuan to death. Instead, he let Ye Yuan cleared the Nine Heavens Road.


    After passing through the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan would possess the status and privilege equivalent to that of a Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciple. It was no longer possible for Su Yubai to try and openly kill Ye Yuan anymore.


    "Congratulations for passing through the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan." Feng Ruoqing was still so warm and elegant. She only came forth to lightly congratulate.


    "Heh heh. Succeeded thanks to luck." In front of so many people, Ye Yuan did not wish to say too much and only chuckled.


    Feng Zhiroui who was behind Feng Ruoqing had a complicated look as she looked at Ye Yuan.


    Back then, her casual sword strike could make Ye Yuan disconcerted. She did not expect that Ye Yuan could shorten the distance by so much in such a short time.


    Although she was still that little bit stronger than Ye Yuan right now, being caught up or even surpassed by Ye Yuan was something inevitable.


    "Alright. Since Ye Yuan''s fine, we''ll head back and talk," said Huyan Yong.


    There were too many people here. Clearly, this was not a good place to talk.


    The group returned to Ye Yuan''s residence. Ye Yuan inspected Lu-er first and only relaxed after seeing that nothing was wrong with her.


    "Ye Yuan, you seem to be . . . somewhat different." Girls were still sharper on these things. Feng Ruoqing was the first to notice that Ye Yuan was different.


    She discovered that not only did Ye Yuan''s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but his entire being''s aura also seemed to have undergone a huge transformation.


    Ye Yuan had just fused the sword intents and was still not really able to release and withdraw it freely yet. His entire being stood there like an unsheathed sharp sword. There was a huge discrepancy between this and his previously wastrel temperament.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Haha. I''ve incurred ridicule from Teacher Feng. I obtained some rewards from the Nine Heavens Road. It''s just that I''m still unable to control it freely right now. I didn''t expect that Teacher Feng could see through it."


    Hearing this, Huyan Yong was speechless. "Other people face almost certain death when challenging the Nine Heavens Road. Being able to survive was already not bad. You actually had such a huge harvest? Seriously a freak!"


    When he heard Feng Ruoqing say this, Huyan Yong naturally also noticed Ye Yuan''s change. He scolded verbally, but he was actually overjoyed in his heart.

    "Coincidentally comprehended, that''s all. Teacher Huyan, Teacher Feng, I want to enter a retreat to consolidate my cultivation these two days. After exiting seclusion, I wish to enter the Endless Forest. At that time, I''ll have to trouble the two of you with Lu-er."


    Regarding the Nine Heavens Road''s matters, Ye Yuan just sidestepped it with some words.


    He already swore a Heavenly Dao oath. His tongue would surely slip if he talks too much. It was best to talk less.


    Huyan Yong and Feng Ruoqing were also understanding of Ye Yuan''s dilemma, so they kept quiet and did not mention it.


    Rather, the two of them were quite surprised Ye Yuan mentioned that he wanted to go to the Endless Forest.


    "Taking care of Lu-er is naturally not an issue. But what do you plan to do in the Endless Forest?" Feng Ruoqing asked.


    Ye Yuan answered, "To find some herbs. Lu-er''s condition isn''t that great. The essence energy I transmitted would only help her to temporarily suppress the frost poison. As time passes, the eruption would be even more terrifying. There is a type of high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill called Cold Dispelling Pill. It can control the frost poison in Lu-er''s body for the time being. But the herbs that this medicinal pill requires are rather uncommon. I think that only the Endless Forest has them."


    When she heard that, Feng Ruoqing was astonished. "There''s actually such a powerful Tier 2 medicinal pill? The eruption of frost poison due to the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian is basically incurable. This medicinal pill can actually control the frost poison?!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Teacher said before, there aren''t any truly incurable illnesses in the world. The method just hasn''t been discovered yet. The path of medicinal pills is a Great Dao and possesses limitless possibilities. When cultivated to a supreme level, one can transform something rotten into something magical. Nothing is impossible."


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes lit up as she seemed to have understood something.


    Ye Yuan''s words were filled with wisdom, helping Feng Ruoqing suddenly see the light.


    Although she knew that the path of medicinal pills was broad and profound, her horizons were limited after all. She could frequently only immerse herself in that acre of land.


    Although Alchemy Dao and Martial Dao had different systems, there was still one thing which was the same, which was the more you comprehended, the more you discovered your ignorance.


    With the passing of time, this sort of feeling would affect your own mental state and impact cultivation from there.


    Ye Yuan''s words opened up another window for Feng Ruoqing.


    After musing on Ye Yuan''s words for some time, Feng Ruoqing sighed in admiration. "Your master is truly an expert!"


    Ye Yuan carried a mischievous mentality and blew his own trumpet as he continued talking,"Yeah. Master that old man is unfathomable. I can barely understand a fraction. It''s a pity that he likes to travel the world. I also don''t know when I can meet him again."


    Feng Ruoqing obviously could not tell that Ye Yuan was praising himself, but instead, felt that it was expected of Ye Yuan to be saying that.


    "However, even if you gather the ingredients, are you able to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill?" Feng Ruoqing asked doubtfully.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I can''t refine it at the moment. After returning from the Endless Forest, I will continue closed-seclusion to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm with full force! As long as I breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm, refining the Cold Dispelling Pill shouldn''t be an issue."


    The soul strength of a high-grade Alchemy Master was required to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan''s soul strength was lacking, and he refined a low-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, he directly collapsed in exhaustion.


    Although Ye Yuan''s current strength had significantly improved, his soul strength did not grow by much. Wanting to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was no doubt a fool''s talk.


    But as long as he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan''s soul strength would experience a qualitative leap. At that time, with his Alchemy Dao''s prowess, refining a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill would not be too difficult.


    Huyan Yong exchanged glances with Feng Ruoqing and then said, "Since that''s the case, you will join the Endless Trials with the other students then. Although the Endless Forest is a limitless treasure trove, there is also a great deal of danger inside. There are a large number of high tier demonic beasts. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would also lose their lives inside if they were not careful! You being together with the other students can at least look after one another."


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, "Oh? There''s such an activity in the academy?"


    "No way! You don''t even know about the Endless Trials? To think you already have the power of a Heaven rank student now!" Feng Zhirou who had been silent exclaimed in surprise.


    Ye Yuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and felt somewhat awkward. "That . . . I mucked around too much last time. Heh heh."


    To the former Ye Yuan, forget about the Endless Trials, he was not even interested in classes. How could he have the thought to inquire about this stuff?


    Even if he heard about it, he would just turn a deaf ear to it. He simply had no interest in knowing.


    Feng Zhirou rolled her eyes and gave Ye Yuan an explanation concerning the details of the Endless Trials.


    For the sake of tempering students'' practical combat ability, the Dan Wu Academy would organize an Endless Trials every fixed period of time.


    Specific missions had to be completed during the Endless Trials, or else, the academy would deduct certain welfares.


    The missions were tied to the student''s rank. The missions which Heaven rank students were required to complete was to turn in ten Tier 2 demonic beasts'' inner cores, and ten stalks of Tier 2 medicinal herbs.


    Apart from what was handed in for the mission, the other items seized belonged to the students themselves.


    Most importantly, the academy only specified the quantity for the mission but did not stipulate what methods one could use to obtain them.


    Hence, the Endless Trials also became a venue for students to settle their personal grudges.


    Furthermore, the Endless Forest was filled with dangers. Every Endless Trial, many students would remain there forever.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he curled his mouth and said, "So that''s the case. Does Teacher Huyan intend for Senior Apprentice Sister Feng and me to participate in the Endless Trials together?"


    Huyan Yong did not get to say anything before Feng Zhirou immediately blew up. "What? Are you scared that I will drag you down? Come, come, come, let''s duke it out now and see just who hinders who! Don''t think that you can taunt a Martial Roll''s expert just because you were lucky to breakthrough to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!"


    While talking, Feng Zhirou drew her sword with a ''Schwing!'' and assuming a fighting posture as she waved it around in front of Ye Yuan,


    "A good man does not fight with women. I didn''t say anything, you were the one who said it." Ye Yuan used his finger to push Feng Zhirou''s sword aside helplessly.


    "Then what did you mean? Say it!" Feng Zhirou pointed the tip of the sword which was nudged away back at Ye Yuan.


    "Hey! This sword is very sharp. Don''t play with it, ok? I''m aware that you Martial Roll''s experts are powerful, alright? Actually, what I meant was that I can resolve the problem with your body."


    Ye Yuan hurriedly jumped aside. This lass tended to strike whenever she liked, best to be more careful.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Feng Zhirou revealed a complicated look, but it was swiftly replaced by stubbornness.


    "Humph! Who do you think you are? You say you can resolve it and it''s settled? Let me tell you now, there''s nothing wrong with my body! No need for your concern!" Finishing, Feng Zhirou sheathed her sword and walked out of the door.


    The previous time, Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan used voice transmission to communicate. Hence, Feng Ruoqing was unaware of what happened. Seeing the situation, she asked in puzzlement, "Something''s wrong with Zhirou''s body, Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it isn''t anything serious either. But, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s personality is overly stubborn. If things carry on, maybe a major problem might occur."


    Ye Yuan briefly recounted the problem with Feng Zhirou''s body. Feng Ruoqing furrowed her brows when she heard it.


    "So that''s the case! This lass has shocking potential, so I was wondering why she advanced so slowly recently! At first, I thought that she was lazy and slacking off, but I didn''t think that it was due to this reason!"

 Chapter 107: Wan Yuan Fled!

    Chapter 107: Wan Yuan Fled!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "But Zhirou''s cultivation law is already fixed. What should be done then? Zhirou that lass is very stubborn, and now she knows that she can''t ever breakthrough in the future. If a long time passes, a problem will really occur!"


    Since it involved Feng Zhirou''s cultivation road, being her aunt, Feng Ruoqing was unable to remain calm.


    "Don''t be anxious. Didn''t Ye Yuan say he had a solution earlier?" Huyan Yong was clearly more collected than her as he hurriedly said.


    "Ah, right. What solution do you have, Ye Yuan? As long as you can let Zhirou continue cultivating, I can promise you anything!" The words slipped out of Feng Ruoqing''s mouth.


    As soon as the words came out, Feng Ruoqing suddenly realized that it was a little inappropriate.


    If Ye Yuan had some overboard request, did she have to agree too?


    Thinking of this, Feng Ruoqing could not help blushing heavily, and she swiftly turned her face away.


    Ye Yuan did not think too much from the start. When he saw Feng Ruoqing''s crimson face, he was unwittingly stupefied.


    However, he quickly recovered, and could not resist wildly fantasizing about all sorts of requests on the spur of the moment.


    But Huyan Yong was also by the side, so it obviously was not the time to flirt. This would make it so difficult for a lady to step down from the stage!


    Luckily, Ye Yuan had already comprehended Heart Like Still Water now. Wanting to control his emotions was still easily managed.


    "Don''t need to be courteous, Teacher Feng. Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s problem isn''t hard to resolve. It''s just that if I go and fix it, she probably won''t allow it. So I can only do it through you.," Ye Yuan said with a serious face and waved his hands.


    When Feng Ruoqing saw that Ye Yuan did not seem to have any misunderstandings, she could not help quietly blaming herself for being shameless; having her imaginations run wild over some things. She could not even compare to a youth''s frankness.


    Of course, there was still a tiny bit of resentment after the blaming.


    If it were somebody else, they would probably have wild ideas after hearing her say these sort of words. But Ye Yuan did not seem to be moved. This involuntarily made Feng Ruoqing question her charm.


    "Quickly tell what method you have!" Feng Ruoqing said anxiously.


    "En. Actually, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s biggest problem is that the cultivation law she''s training in does not match well with her physique. If you want to resolve this issue, the crux lies in the words ''Yin-Yang Harmony''!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Yin-Yang Harmony?" Feng Ruoqing pondered over these words and shook her head. It was clear that she still did not understand what Ye Yuan was saying.


    Ye Yuan continued explaining, "Due to the cultivation law, it caused Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s bodily Yang qi to be overly excessive. Thus, it resulted in her body being very averse to essence energy. Under these circumstances, continuing to cultivate her original cultivation law would definitely pile one disaster after another. The best method is naturally to disperse her cultivation, and re-cultivate by selecting a cultivation law suited to her physique."


    Feng Ruoqing frowned and said, "So the method you said referred to this! Zhirou is currently at her prime time of cultivation. The moment she disperses her cultivation to re-cultivate, all these years of hard work would have been completely wasted. What''s more, it would also delay cultivation. Even if I go talk to her, it''s impossible for her to agree to it. This is even worse than killing her."


    Ye Yuan nodded unconcernedly and continued, "Alright. Since that''s the case, we can only use another method. It''s just that this method will make Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s future martial arts road become even more challenging. Of course, once she succeeds in cultivating, her strength would also greatly surpass same-rank martial artists."


    Feng Ruoqing''s eyes lit up as she asked, "What method?"


    "Let Senior Apprentice Sister Feng select a gentle Yin attribute cultivation law, and start training both cultivation laws at the same time right away! Just now, I said that the crux lies in the words ''Yin-Yang Harmony.'' As long as the essence energy within her body reaches Yin-Yang harmony standard, all the problems will be easily solved."


    "So it can actually be done like that? Great!" Feng Ruoqing was overjoyed when she heard that.


    "Don''t be happy so soon, Teacher Feng."


    "Why?"


    "Although this method can resolve Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s problem, the requirement towards cultivation law is very high. The two cultivation laws must complement each other and work in concert. Using this method, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng must temporarily suspend the cultivation law she is currently training in, and cultivate another cultivation law to the same level. Mm, even with Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s talent, it will probably still take a year or so. That is to say, within this one year, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng will not advance at all!"


    Hearing that, Feng Ruoqing did not mind at all and then said, "That''s also something that can''t be helped. This is much better than dispersing her cultivation. I will head back right away to help Zhirou select a suitable cultivation law!"


    After that, Feng Ruoqing turned around and got ready to leave.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Wait!"


    "Is there anything else? Zhirou must have been very depressed over this matter these few days. I got to hurry and find her." Feng Ruoqing was also torn with anxiety.


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, " An anxious heart can''t eat hot tofu. 1This thing can''t be resolved in one or two days. Even if you go right now, you also can''t help much."


    "But . . ."


    "Not that I''m scaring Teacher Feng, but the selection of cultivation law needs to be extremely particular. If the selected cultivation law is unable to complement her existing cultivation law, the problems it would cause in the future would be even greater than now!"


    "Ah? Then . . . what should I do?" Feng Ruoqing was at a loss.


    "I wonder if Teacher Feng has the jade slip of the cultivation law that Senior Apprentice Sister trained in."


    "This . . . I have it at my residence, I''ll go get it for you straight away." Feng Ruoqing hesitated for a moment but still agreed.


    Ye Yuan clearly wanted to look at this cultivation law. This was a taboo for martial artists. However, Feng Ruoqing thought about the master behind Ye Yuan and felt at ease.


    For Ye Yuan to improve at such a godlike speed, how could his cultivation law possibly be lower grade than the cultivation law Feng Zhirou trained in?


    Not only was it not lower, but it was also even several grades higher!


    Feng Ruoqing cracked her head thinking about it, but could not imagine just what cultivation law could let a person cultivate from the First Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in one month plus time!


    Even though there were many fortuitous encounters in between, it was crystal clear that Ye Yuan''s cultivation law was extremely powerful.


    Ye Yuan nodded, and Feng Ruoqing returned to her place to retrieve the cultivation law.


    Not long after Feng Ruoqing left, Tang Yu came as well.


    "Congratulations for successfully clearing the Nine Heavens Road, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye! You became the first person in the Dan Wu Academy''s thousand-year history to have made it through at the Essence Qi Realm!" Tang Yu congratulated from the bottom of his heart.


    He clearly only knew Ye Yuan for a month plus, yet Tang Yu felt like an epoch had passed.


    Ye Yuan spent merely just over a month to go from Junior Apprentice Brother Ye to Senior Apprentice Brother Ye.


    The current Ye Yuan was already an existence which he had to look up to.


    But Ye Yuan did not alienate Tang Yu just because their distance was pulled apart. He smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother Tang. I was also forced into it with no other alternatives. It was just luck."


    Tang Yu also greeted Huyan Yong, then he sat down beside Ye Yuan and said, "Other than coming to congratulate Senior Apprentice Brother, I also brought some news which I believe Senior Apprentice Brother Ye will be interested in."


    "Oh? Pray tell, Brother Tang." Ye Yuan had his curiosity aroused by Tang Yu''s words.


    "Today, I was also watching Senior Apprentice Brother Ye challenging the Nine Heavens Road in the crowd and happened to coincidentally see Wan Yuan. Back then, he wasn''t far from me, and I was also aware that he was at loggerheads with you, so I kept an eye out. Just as Brother Ye broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in the second stage, Wan Yuan quietly slipped out of the crowd. Seeing the situation, I also secretly tagged along. But I discovered that he didn''t return to his residence. Instead, he directly left the academy!" Tang Yu said.

    Chapter 108: Retreating in Fear from a Single Sword

    "Ran away? What a cowardly fellow." Ye Yuan was stupefied when he heard that.


    "Apologies, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. Tang Yu''s abilities are paltry and could not detain him. I could only watch him get away," Tang Yu said in shame.


    Although he did not show it, Tang Yu felt that he was seriously useless right now.


    So many things had happened to Ye Yuan recently, yet he could not help with a single one of them.


    At present, Wan Yuan was already like an ant which could be crushed to death with one hand to Ye Yuan. But to Tang Yu, he was as sturdy as the high mountains.


    Tang Yu was aware that Wan Yuan was Ye Yuan''s sworn enemy, yet he could only watch him get away powerlessly. This made him feel a deep sense of helplessness and shame.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "Don''t mind it, Brother Tang. Wan Yuan is just a dancing clown. I''ll let him live a few days longer. After I return from the Endless Forest, I will settle him along with his father!"


    When he returns from the Endless Forest, his father Ye Hang would just about to exit seclusion as well!


    At that time, the two of them, father and son, would join hands to give the entire State of Qin an enormous surprise!


    But when Tang Yu heard it, he was secretly speechless. Senior Apprentice Brother Ye was indeed still so domineering. Most likely, not a single soul in the State of Qin dared to say they would settle Wan Donghai, yet he said it so naturally.


    Ye Yuan was somebody who refused to suffer any grievances and never embraced the creed where it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. His creed was that a gentleman would take revenge immediately!


    Fei Qingping nearly caused him to die. Killed!


    Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng made Lu-er end up like that. Ye Yuan disregarded the rules and just killed them!


    No Essence Qi Realm had even made it past the Nine Heavens Road. Ye Yuan cleared it just like that!


    Only such a life was satisfying!


    Tang Yu also wished for such a life, but not everybody could live such a life.


    Only a heaven-defying existence like Ye Yuan could have the capability to live such a life.


    Wan Yuan was clearly frightened by Ye Yuan, which was why he fled in a panic!


    Under such circumstances, Wan Yuan could only rely on the academy''s rules. But the rules were only ornamental to Ye Yuan.


    Right now, Ye Yuan was simply a maniac. Since he dared to kill Zhang Heng and dared to kill Lin Tiancheng, he naturally would dare to kill him, Wan Yuan!


    In fact, the grudge between Wan Yuan and Ye Yuan was much greater than Lin Tiancheng''s!


    Hence, he did not even wait for the final result before fleeing.


    Wan Yuan feared that he would not be able to escape after the result came out.


    "Actually, there''s another matter, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. I don''t know if I should say it or not," Tang Yu said.


    "Why are you treating me like a stranger, Brother Tang? If there''s anything, just say it."


    "I always felt that it was a little strange for Lin Tiancheng to target Miss Lu-er. Logically speaking, Lin Tiancheng only had a small dispute with you back at the Illusionary Spirit Tower, and should not go as far as to be so malicious. So I wondered if there was more than meets the eye to this matter. Thus, I have been investigating the whole course of this incident, and the result was that I really managed to dig something out," Tang Yu said.


    When Ye Yuan killed Zhang Heng and Lin Tiancheng, he was in a violent rage, so he did not think too much then. He just thought that Lin Tiancheng bore a grudge because of the incident at the Illusionary Spirit Tower.


    Now that he thought carefully, although he made Lin Tiancheng lose face outside of the Illusionary Spirit Tower, it was not to the extent where the other had to die.


    However, Zhang Heng''s actions had clearly gone beyond the bottom line, making things somewhat illogical.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that there was actually another hidden plot to this incident.


    "Brother Tang means . . . Wan Yuan?" Ye Yuan quickly suspected Wan Yuan.


    Tang Yu nodded his head and said, "That''s right! Somebody saw Wan Yuan and Liu Ruoshui going to find Lin Tiancheng after the Illusionary Spirit Tower test ended. Of course, there''s already no way of finding out what they talked about at that time."


    "No need to investigate. It was definitely them making trouble! Even though I clashed with Lin Tiancheng during the Illusionary Spirit Tower test, it hadn''t reached the point where the other party must die. Lin Tiancheng was originally a narrow-minded person. With them sowing discord, he naturally harbored resentment in his heart. It wouldn''t be strange for him to do something like that." Ye Yuan''s face gradually became darker.


    "But Wan Yuan already escaped. What to do now?" Tang Yu asked.


    "Let him be first. Right now, the most important thing is Lu-er''s matter. I''ll deal with him after I return from the Endless Forest! However, this Liu Ruoshui really has a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions! If I''m not wrong, the idea of messing with Lu-er came from her!" Ye Yuan words were brimming with killing intent.


    "A woman''s heart is the most vicious! Most likely, it refers to these sort of woman like her," Tang Yu said.


    Ye Yuan stood up, and then he said nonchalantly, "I''m going out for a while."


    Then he directly left.


    Watching Ye Yuan'' back view, Huyan Yong said helplessly, "This rascal really can''t stop even for a moment!"


    Tang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye just has a personality where gratitude and resentment are clearly distinguished. If others are good to him, he will be ten times nicer. If others are bad to him, he will also pay back tenfold!"


    "Sigh, if he wants to cause trouble, so be it. He made it past the Nine Heavens Road, so he''s already equivalent to the high sect''s core disciple. I think Su Yubai wouldn''t dare to act recklessly either," Huyan Yong said with a sigh.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan had just stepped out the door when he was blocked by somebody. The person was Wu Luochen who previously arranged a battle with Ye Yuan.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you are truly impressive. You actually made it through the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm!" The moment he saw Ye Yuan, Wu Luochen praised in admiration.


    "So, it''s Senior Apprentice Brother Wu. The Nine Heavens Road was just luck, didn''t count as much," Ye Yuan replied while controlling his impatience.


    Ye Yuan knew that Wu Luochen came to find him to compete. But how could he think about fighting with Wu Luochen at the moment?


    "Heh heh, I believe Brother Ye has already guessed why this Wu came here. Since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye cleared the Nine Heavens Road and broke through to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, you definitely possess the power of a Heaven Rank student! I wonder if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can fulfill the agreement back then and fight with me?" Wu Luochen did not conceal his intentions at all and openly stated it.


    "Apologies, Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, this little brother has something to attend to right now. If Brother Wu wants to battle, please choose another date." Ye Yuan directly rejected him.


    Wu Luochen immediately lost his cool when he heard that, and hurriedly said, "How can that do? I know that you''re definitely about to enter seclusion to consolidate your cultivation realm. Two days later, it''s also the Endless Trials. Who knows how long this wait will last! We should just pick today rather than choosing a date!"


    Wu Luochen''s eyes were full of hope, and he looked like he was raring to go.


    To someone like Wu Luochen, fighting was his life''s everything!


    Ye Yuan could only say helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, if I recall correctly, our agreement back then was to wait until I advance to Heaven rank before competing, right? But I''m still an Earth rank student presently. If Senior Apprentice Brother Wu is so forceful, wouldn''t you be in suspicion of the strong bullying the weak?"


    "This . . . But Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s battle capabilities are shocking. Although you are still at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, your strength is definitely not beneath Heaven rank students already, right? From my perspective, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can definitely ascend the Martial Roll of Honor now with your strength, and your ranking might not be below mine!" Wu Luochen was not so easily hoodwinked.


    Ye Yuan was anxious to find Liu Ruoshui, yet he was held back by Wu Luochen. So he was very annoyed and could not resist saying, "Fine. As long as Senior Apprentice Brother Wu receives one sword head-on from me, what''s the harm in competing with you?"


    Wu Luochen''s eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"


    "Of course it''s real! Remember, it''s receiving it head-on! If you dodge, then forgive me for not keeping you company!" Ye Yuan emphasized.


    "Haha! No harm! Come on!" Wu Luochen guffawed heartily.


    Ye Yuan retrieved the Canghua Sword from his storage ring and unleashed a fused sword intent straight away!


    Wu Luochen initially was still full of smiles, but right now, his facial expression quickly changed. That horrifying sword intent practically asphyxiated him!


    How could such a sword intent possibly be received head-on?


    Wu Luochen hastily revolved his movement technique and dodged that sword.

    Chapter 109: Who is Su Yishan?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A little earlier, at the back of the mountain, in the courtyard of the Heaven rank student, Su Yishan; Seemingly in panic, Liu Ruoshui looked at Su Yishan who was in front of her.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Su, right now, you are the only one who can save me in the entire academy! I beg you, help me!"


    Liu Ruoshui had never been so helpless even when facing all manners of disregard from her family clan!


    After Ye Yuan succeeded in clearing the Nine Heavens Road, Liu Ruoshui felt totally uneasy. She went to Wan Yuan''s residence in a lost manner wanting to find him to discuss countermeasures.


    But when she arrived at Wan Yuan''s residence, she discovered that Wan Yuan was not even there.


    At the start, Liu Ruoshui thought that Wan Yuan did not return because of some matters. But after waiting, and waiting, and still nothing, she went to ask the other students, but none of them saw Wan Yuan.


    Liu Ruoshui suddenly felt a bad premonition.


    As expected, only after Liu Ruoshui inquired from the students guarding the gates did she find out that Wan Yuan had left the academy long ago.


    Liu Ruoshui ''greeted'' eight generations of Wan Yuan''s ancestors in her heart, but this was of no use to her at all.


    What if Ye Yuan vented all of his anger on her because he could not find Wan Yuan? Then she was finished!


    After cursing, Liu Ruoshui felt a deep sense of powerlessness.


    Ye Yuan''s strength had already steadily advanced into the ranks of the Heaven rank students. Wanting to kill her was as easy as flipping his hand!


    Liu Ruoshui still had some rallying power among the lower ranking students, but as for Heaven Rank students . . .


    Liu Ruoshui suddenly had a burst of inspiration and thought of Su Yishan. She felt that she had grasped her last life-saving straw!


    Back when Wan Yuan was injured, Su Yishan once said that he was going to kill Ye Yuan. It looked like their grudge was not small.


    More importantly, wasn''t Elder Su Su Yishan''s second uncle?


    Even though Liu Ruoshui could not influence Heaven rank students, she had long pried about their details clearly.


    Not many people in the Dan Wu Academy knew about Su Yubai and Su Yishan''s relationship, but there were still some who were aware.


    Thinking of this, Liu Ruoshui no longer hesitated, and directly went to the back of the mountain and found Su Yishan.


    Su Yishan looked at Liu Ruoshui amusedly and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Liu and Senior Apprentice Brother Wan walk very closely together. Why did you think of finding me?"


    It was still okay if Su Yishan did not mention it, but now that he did, Liu Ruoshui''s tears poured out like floodwater breaking a dam.


    "Wan Yuan that cowardly fellow ran long ago! Sniff ! Sniff ! Senior Apprentice Brother Su, as long as you are willing to save me, I''ll do anything you ask me to!" Liu Ruoshui right now also counts as the revelation of her true feelings as she cried utterly pitifully.


    Hearing that, Su Yishan was stunned. "Wan Yuan ran? Ran to where?"


    Liu Ruoshui choked between sobs and said, "Where else can he run to? He must have run back to find his father to shield him! Ye Yuan is already at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Killing him would be like killing a dog. Who else can protect him apart from his old man?"


    Su Yishan could not refrain from laughing as he said, "I couldn''t tell originally, but to think Junior Apprentice Brother Wan is actually so gutless. A puny little Ye Yuan scared him to such an extent!"


    Finishing, Su Yishan sized up the tearful Liu Ruoshui and asked playfully, "Just now, you said you would be willing to do anything?"


    Liu Ruoshui quivered when she heard him. How could she not understand Su Yishan''s meaning?


    But at this current juncture, if even Su Yishan did not care about her, she was dead for sure!


    Liu Ruoshui wrestled with her emotions in her heart. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded.


    But looking at her appearance aroused Su Yishan''s curiosity. "Looking at your appearance, could it be that you are still a virgin?"


    Liu Ruoshui blushed all the way to the tips of ears when she heard that, but she still nodded once more.


    Although Liu Ruoshui was naturally coquettish, she still guarded her body closely, because she knew that this was her greatest asset.


    But she did not imagine that she would actually voluntarily offer it up now that she was forced by Ye Yuan. Thinking of this, Liu Ruoshui''s hatred towards Ye Yuan deepened even more!


    Ye Yuan, I want you to die a horrible death one day!


    " Hahaha! Good! Very good!" Su Yishan burst into laughter and headed into the house.


    Liu Ruoshui''s eyes flickered, but she still gritted her teeth and followed in . . .


    . . . . . .


    Wu Luochen still felt a lingering fear after evading Ye Yuan''s sword.


    That surge of sword intent just now was too terrifying. Receiving it head-on would undoubtedly result in injuries, if not death!


    The instant Ye Yuan struck with his sword, Wu Luochen suddenly felt an enormous sense of crisis.


    His instincts from countless battles told him that this sword must absolutely not be taken head-on!


    Hence, he used his movement technique right away, and barely avoided the sword.


    Wu Luochen appeared somewhat ragged. This did not mean that he was weak, but rather, he overly underestimated his enemy.


    In reality, Wu Luochen was a very troublesome person. Even experts ranked higher than him on the Martial Roll of Honor felt severe headaches when they saw him.


    Wu Luochen was the Dan Wu Academy''s famous battle maniac. Not only was his combat prowess shocking, but he also possessed extraordinary combat talent and had a very precise grasp on the battle situation.


    Just now, he suffered a loss because he promised Ye Yuan to receive it head-on.


    Ye Yuan had just fused together the sword intents on the Nine Heavens Road, and even used an eight restrictions spirit artifact, Canghua Sword, to unleash the sword light. Even if Wu Luochen was an ironman, enduring it would be enough for him to suffer.


    This sword of Ye Yuan''s only indicated that he had the power to battle with Wu Luochen, but did not signify that he could defeat Wu Luochen.


    Wu Luochen was at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Furthermore, his combat prowess far surpassed those at the same level!


    Those who were stronger than him were mostly at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. One could see how just powerful he was.


    Although Ye Yuan had the power to leap ranks and battle, it was still hard to say what would be the result if he matched up with Wu Luochen.


    No matter how powerful Ye Yuan''s sword intent was, if he could not touch his opponent, then it was futile.


    Not only did the Wu Luochen who had just dodged a crisis not become dispirited, he even became abnormally excited!


    There was no meaning if the opponent was too weak!


    Before coming here, Wu Luochen was still worried if it was a little too early. Even though he was aware that Ye Yuan''s combat prowess was stunning, he was ultimately a major cultivation realm higher than Ye Yuan.


    But now, he completely dispelled those thoughts.


    Just based on that sword, Ye Yuan already had the qualifications to be his opponent!


    "Hey hey, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, let''s fight one round! Your sword art is so incredible, I really want to experience it!" Wu Luochen shamelessly went back on his word.


    Ye Yuan''s face froze up. He did not think that this fellow was so persistent, and his face involuntarily fell. "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, I really have something on today. If you continue to be so insistent, then I will not rest until you are dead!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan truly flared up, Wu Luochen could not help sticking out his tongue. His eyes swirled around, and he said, "How about this, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I''ll accompany you on your matter and do whatever you say. You just have to fight one round with me after you settle your affairs."


    Ye Yuan made an ''up to you'' gesture and left by himself.


    Wu Luochen laughed a "heh heh," and tagged along.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not bother with the distinction between man and woman and directly barged into Liu Ruoshui''s residence. But it was empty.


    Right then, Wu Luochen lent a hand instead. He inquired clearly about the direction Liu Ruoshui headed to, pieced it together, and he then told Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I''ve already inquired clearly. Junior Apprentice Sister Liu went to Su Yishan''s place!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. "Who is Su Yishan?"


    "No way. You don''t even know who Su Yishan is?" This time around, it was Wu Luochen''s turn to be stunned.


    "Why do I have to know who he is? Hang on, his surname is Su? Is he from the Su Family?" Ye Yuan suddenly recalled something and asked Wu Luochen.


    Wu Luochen raised his thumb and praised Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is indeed intelligent. Su Yishan is precisely Su Yubai''s nephew! Furthermore, he''s even rank ten on the Martial Roll! But according to my estimations, Su Yishan most likely already has the power to attack the top five! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, why not . . . forget about it?"

    Right then, Wu Luochen lent a hand instead. He inquired clearly about the direction Liu Ruoshui headed to, pieced it together, and he then told Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I''ve already inquired clearly. Junior Apprentice Sister Liu went to Su Yishan''s place!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. "Who is Su Yishan?"


    "No way. You don''t even know who Su Yishan is?" This time around, it was Wu Luochen''s turn to be stunned.


    "Why do I have to know who he is? Hang on, his surname is Su? Is he from the Su Family?" Ye Yuan suddenly recalled something and asked Wu Luochen.


    Wu Luochen raised his thumb and praised Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is indeed intelligent. Su Yishan is precisely Su Yubai''s nephew! Furthermore, he''s even rank ten on the Martial Roll! But according to my estimations, Su Yishan most likely already has the power to attack the top five! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, why not . . . forget about it?"

    One could tell that Wu Luochen was unwilling to provoke Su Yishan.


    Not only was Su Yishan strong, but his background was also exceedingly deep.


    Without mentioning how great the Su Family''s power was, just based on Su Yubai''s status within the Dan Wu Academy, not many dared to provoke him.


    Ye Yuan looked at Wu Luochen apathetically. "Scared? If you''re scared, then go back. I also didn''t make you tag along."


    This look agitated Wu Luochen greatly. He raised his head up and said, "W-who''s scared? Isn''t it just Su Yishan? Wait until I advance to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. I''ll beat him until his teeth fall out!"


    "Tch, what Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In the end, you''re still scared!" Ye Yuan continued in disdain.


    Wu Luochen nearly jumped up when he heard this. Even since he entered the Dan Wu Academy, his dictionary never had the word ''scared.''


    He only had today''s position by challenging throughout the entire way and beating people all the way.


    There was naturally no lack of figures with special status among these people.


    But didn''t he just beat them up? Since when had he been scared?


    The reason why he did not wish to find trouble with Su Yishan was that the time was not yet right.


    Su Yishan was at the peak Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and could break through to the second stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm at any time.


    Each person in the top ten of the Martial Roll of Honor was more perverse than the other. Wu Luochen was indeed very strong, but at his level, who was not strong?


    The further one headed, the harder it was to jump ranks and battle. Wu Luochen naturally did not wish to casually provoke a student in the top ten of the Martial Roll.


    After Wu Luochen broke through to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would spar down the list one by one.


    "I refuse to believe it today! Isn''t it just Su Yishan? I''ll accompany you! If he dares to attack you, I, Wu Luochen, will receive it!" The pitiful Wu Luochen fell for Ye Yuan''s inciting just like that.


    "Up to you. At that time, just don''t run away with your tail between your legs." Ye Yuan then left without even turning his head back.


    Wu Luochen chased after as he said, "Hey, say things clearly. Who''s running away with their tails between their legs? Since when have I, Wu Luochen, been a deserter . . ."


    . . . . . .


    The residences of Heaven rank students were separated from students of other ranks; at the back of the mountain with the instructors.


    Moreover, each of them had their own house and courtyard with a vast total area, and would not be disturbed by others.


    Ye Yuan came to the front of Su Yishan''s courtyard and bellowed loudly, "Scram out here, Liu Ruoshui!"


    Ye Yuan incorporated ample essence energy into his shout, making it reverberate like rolling thunder.


    If he did not shout, then it was still okay. But now that he did, it startled many people.


    "What''s happening? Did something happen again?"


    "Quickly look! Isn''t that Ye Yuan? Didn''t he just clear the Nine Heavens Road? Why does it look like he''s here to cause trouble again?"


    "Haha! It''s really lively these few days. Ye Yuan is too capable of causing a disturbance, stirring up the entire academy. It''s truly one incident had yet to subside, but another wave rises!"


    "Yii? Isn''t that Wu Luochen? Why is he mixing around with Ye Yuan?"


    "Who knows? That fellow is also a lunatic. Two maniacs have come together."


    "Speaking of which, who is Liu Ruoshui? It sounds like a woman''s name. How did she offend Ye Yuan?"


    "Uh, I seem to have some impression. It seems like she''s a great beauty!"


    "F*ck! He doesn''t even let a beauty off. Ye Yuan is really a madman!"


    "Hey, best to stop speculating. It''s true that Ye Yuan doesn''t rest, but Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng only had themselves to blame. If it were you, would you kill them? We should still hear what Ye Yuan has to say. Who knows if this Liu Ruoshui was also one of the people who bullied Ye Yuan''s maidservant? Don''t you all find it odd that Ye Yuan is calling for Liu Ruoshui outside of Su Yishan''s gate?"


    Ye Yuan had never been fearful of blowing things up. If he, a dignified Alchemy Emperor, had to swallow his pride and endure in silence in a mortal country, it would cause his thoughts to not flow smoothly.


    His precious life''s encounter developed Ye Yuan''s personality of avenging any enmity.


    Who cares what Martial Roll''s expert, or some Disciplinary Hall''s elder. He just had to directly smash over!


    It was fine if he could not beat them now. Even if he was unable to defeat them, he could still disgust them!


    After yelling, Ye Yuan closed his eyes and stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, waiting for Su Yishan to come out.


    Before long, Su Yishan''s courtyard gate creaked open, and Su Yishan walked out with a livid face.


    "What the hell are you doing, Ye Yuan? To actually dare to make a big fuss outside of my gate. Do you really think that nobody can take care of you?" Su Yishan said icily.


    "Let Liu Ruoshui come out. This matter has nothing to do with you, go play by the side." Words that made everyone stare dumbfoundedly came out of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Oh damn! Ye Yuan told Su Yishan to go play by the side outside the entrance of his place!


    Nobody had ever dared to speak that way to Su Yishan in the academy. Ye Yuan was truly teeming with overbearingness!


    But after thinking about it, everyone felt at ease. Ye Yuan even dared to scold Elder Su. What is Su Yishan?


    Since when had Su Yishan ever suffered such humiliation? When he heard that, he flew into a rage. "Insolence! Today, I will weigh just how incredible a genius who cleared the Nine Heavens Road is!"


    Su Yishan fully released his aura and charged towards Ye Yuan with the momentum of Mount Tai bearing down upon Ye Yuan.


    But just at that moment, Wu Luochen planted himself in front of Ye Yuan emotionlessly, which made Su Yishan''s momentum came to a halt.


    "What''s the meaning of this, Wu Luochen?" Su Yishan asked furiously.


    "No other meaning. As long as you don''t touch Ye Yuan, that will do. I don''t care about other things," said Wu Luochen as he remained impassive.


    In reality, Wu Luochen was also very gloomy right now. He inexplicably incurred trouble with a major problem like Su Yishan.


    It was true that Wu Luochen''s thought process was simple. But he was absolutely no fool. How could a fool become an expert on the Martial Roll of Honor?


    But Wu Luochen could no longer care that much in order to fight a match with Ye Yuan.


    Of course, there were still many whom he could spar with within the academy. But Wu Luochen had the feeling that sparring with Ye Yuan would let him reap an unexpected harvest!


    This was purely instinct. Ever since he witnessed that dazzling sword of Ye Yuan''s, he had this sort of intuition.


    Hence, he kept pestering Ye Yuan to make him spar with him.


    "What a Wu Luochen. Do you know the repercussions of becoming enemies with me?"


    Wu Luochen dreaded Su Yishan, but how could Su Yishan also not be wary of Wu Luochen?


    Although he was a minor realm higher than Wu Luochen, Wu Luochen''s combat talent was extremely astonishing. If they really fought, even if he could win, it would surely be a crushing victory.


    "I''ve never wanted to be enemies with you. As long as you don''t touch Ye Yuan, I don''t care about other things," Wu Luochen repeated these words emotionlessly.


    These words were in fact bullsh*t. Ye Yuan was here to find trouble, so he would definitely fight with Su Yishan. If Su Yishan did not touch him, did he had to wait to be beaten up instead?


    Su Yishan could not communicate through with this lunatic and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.


    "Humph! You guys are looking for Liu Ruoshui. Why did you come to my place?"


    Su Yishan was unable to deal with Wu Luochen, so he could only put up with the second best; questioning with logic.


    "We''ve already inquired. Liu Ruoshui should be at your place currently. Go and call her out. I have some things I want to ask her," Ye Yuan said coolly as if he did not see Su Yishan and Wu Luochen''s tit for tat.


    "What a joke. You say she''s here, and that means she''s here?" Su Yishan laughed due to extreme rage.


    Ye Yuan spread out his hands and said, "Since we can''t reach a conclusion, then there''s no other choice. I can only enter your place to investigate properly."


    "You dare?!" Su Yishan was seething with rage.

 Chapter 111: Come with Me

    Chapter 111: Come with Me


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Su Yishan was a peak genius in the top ten of the Martial Roll. If today, Ye Yuan entered his residence to search for people, how would he have the face to stay in the Dan Wu Academy in the future?


    These words from Ye Yuan was simply unprecedented shame and humiliation to Su Yishan!


    Facing Su Yishan''s fiery wrath, Ye Yuan chose to ignore it. He made his move and headed towards Su Yishan''s courtyard.


    "Courting death!"


    Out of rage, Su Yishan smacked a palm towards Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to see it and walked towards the gates without care.


    Boom!


    A violent clash between palms. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen both retreated several steps. Clearly, it was a draw.


    "Wu Luochen! You really dare to attack?!" Su Yishan roared angrily.


    Wu Luochen gave a zombified face which would not change in ten thousand years and said, "I already said very clearly. As long as you don''t attack Ye Yuan, everything is fine. But if you attack, I will not stand idly by and watch."


    "You!" Su Yishan was thoroughly defeated by Wu Luochen. Nothing got through this fellow!


    Ye Yuan did not walk fast, but his footsteps never stopped. It looked like he was about to enter the courtyard.


    At this moment, Su Yishan felt shame and humiliation he had never ever experienced before!


    He was the pride of the Su Family and a proud son of heaven in the Dan Wu Academy. Since when had he ever been put through such disgrace?


    Ye Yuan actually dared to enter and search his abode in front of so many people?!


    The most hateful thing was that he was unable to do anything about him!


    "Stop right there, Ye Yuan!" Su Yishan hollered.


    Ye Yuan continued forward as if he did not hear it.


    "Halt! I''ll call her out!" Su Yishan crumbled and finally chose to compromise.


    Indeed, when he said that, Ye Yuan finally ceased his footsteps. He turned around to look at Su Yishan. Clearly, he was waiting for Su Yishan to call her.


    Su Yishan really wanted to kill someone right now. Ye Yuan''s actions had already completely swept his face away like rubbish.


    Although Ye Yuan ultimately did not enter, since he agreed to call Liu Ruoshui out, he basically admitted defeat.


    "Ye Yuan is indeed worthy of being a genius who made it through the Nine Heavens Road. He actually dared to sweep away Su Yishan''s face like that."


    "Heh heh. Su Yishan is normally incomparably haughty. Today, someone finally managed to stop him. It''s so venting!"


    "Yeah. Su Yishan relied on his uncle''s authority to do as he pleased in the Heaven rank area. Many people felt indignant but dared not to speak up. Today, someone else who''s even wilder came and even dared to sweep away his second uncle''s face. Isn''t sweeping away his face something simple?"


    "Except that such a haughty person like Wu Luochen is actually willing to be Ye Yuan''s fighter. It makes me surprised. Could it be that he''s already taken in by Ye Yuan as a lackey?"


    "Doesn''t look like it. There''s probably some sort of agreement between them, and this agreement is really important to Wu Luochen. That''s why he is willing to take the risk of offending Su Yishan to become a hired thug."


    "Haha! Look at Su Yishan wanting to kill someone, but unable to. It''s the first time I''ve seen it. Seriously hilarious!"


    "Ye Yuan might feel great today, but the upcoming Endless Trials probably won''t go so smoothly. Regardless whether it''s Elder Su or Su Yishan, they would probably spare no expense to kill Ye Yuan."


    Those gathering around to watch were Heaven rank students. Many were whispering, even communicating through voice transmission.


    One could tell from their conversation that Su Yishan did not seem to win the public''s opinion in the Heaven rank area. Many held the attitude of gloating over his misfortune when watching the show.


    As for sweeping away Su Yishan''s face, Ye Yuan did not feel any burden at all.


    The Su Family was the Ye Family''s covert competitor. This was something he already knew.


    Since Su Yubai could ambush him in broad daylight, then Su Yishan would not go so far as to become friends with him.


    Since Liu Ruoshui appeared in Su Yishan''s residence, it was evident that she came to seek protection from him. In that case, Ye Yuan and Su Yishan naturally were enemies.


    Ye Yuan never had the habit of saving face for his enemies.


    Presently, Su Yishan''s face was grim, and he was incomparably vexed.


    No matter how he calculated, he did not expect that Wu Luochen was actually willing to become Ye Yuan''s fighter!


    "What are you still hiding in there for? Come out here for me!" Su Yishan bellowed in a low voice.


    Right now, Su Yishan somewhat regretted taking in Liu Ruoshui. A moment of lust beguiling his mind gave him such a huge problem.


    Following Su Yishan''s shout, a graceful and charming figure showed up at the gates. It was precisely Liu Ruoshui.


    Liu Ruoshui''s clothes were a little disheveled, making her appear somewhat ragged. Her complexion was also much withered. Where was there still the former demeanor of a goddess?


    She had been keeping an eye on the situation outside, and knew that she was probably unable to settle things today.


    Initially, she thought that finding Su Yishan as her backer could let her escape this crisis. For that reason, she even offered up her most precious thing. But she did not think that Su Yishan could not protect her at all.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Su, I . . ." Liu Ruoshui looked towards Su Yishan feebly.


    Su Yishan''s expression was somber, but he still moved to block in front of her. This action made Liu Ruoshui wildly elated.


    Su Yishan naturally would not let her be. The situation now was already extremely clear. Liu Ruoshui was someone that he, Su Yishan, was shielding. If Ye Yuan dealt with her at his discretion, he would ultimately lose his face today.


    Just now, when Ye Yuan wanted to enter the courtyard, he was unable to pull himself away to stop it. But now, it was not going to be so easy for Wu Luochen and Ye Yuan to take someone away from directly under him.


    Furthermore, this matter had already blown up. As long as he held on a while longer, until his second uncle, Su Yubai arrived, even Ye Yuan would not dare to be unbridled.


    "If you have questions, ask away!" Su Yishan said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not mind Su Yishan''s actions. Hearing that, he nodded and asked, "Let me ask you, Liu Ruoshui, the matter of Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng bullying Lu-er, were you and Wan Yuan the ones fanning the fire by the side?"


    Liu Ruoshui was secretly alarmed when she heard him. She did not think that Ye Yuan actually came here because of this matter. No wonder he arrived so quickly!


    Liu Ruoshui''s mind flashed like lightning and thought to herself that there were already no witnesses to this matter. There were only four of them present back then. Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng were already dead. Wan Yuan fled. As long as she flatly denied it, what could Ye Yuan do to her?


    Thinking up to this point, Liu Ruoshui cried out, "Ye Yuan, I know that we had some disagreements in the past. But that was all instigated by Wan Yuan! Every debt has its creditor! You should find him instead!"


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Enough crap. I only asked you about Lu-er''s matter!"


    The instant Liu Ruoshui thought things through, she became less fearful instead. Puffing her chest out, she said righteously, "No. I don''t even know what you are talking about! I don''t even know who is Lu-er, so how would I harm her?"


    "Really?"


    "Of course it''s true!" Liu Ruoshui became increasingly confident as she spoke.


    "Then how do you explain you and Wan Yuan seeking out Lin Tiancheng before, on the day of the Illusionary Spirit Tower test?" Ye Yuan interrogated.


    "Lin Tiancheng is the head disciple of the general affairs. Wan Yuan wished to make friends with him. Is there anything wrong with that? You were clearly the one who offended Lin Tiancheng, yet you want to force the crime on me. What''s the reasoning?"


    Liu Ruoshui was also a quick-witted person. The moment she collected herself, she did a reverse checkmate instead.


    Ye Yuan looked at Liu Ruoshui and suddenly smiled. He smiled until Liu Ruoshui felt a chill continuously escalate from the bottom of the heart.


    "Such a shrewd tongue. Since that''s the case, come with me then. I have ways to prove whether what you say is true or false. If what you said is true, our previous grudges will be wiped off the slate from now on. But if it''s false . . . I, Ye Yuan, don''t kill women. Cripple your Dantian yourself, and withdraw from the Dan Wu Academy. The matters previously will also similarly be wiped clean!" Ye Yuan said casually.

 Chapter 112: Fighting Two Alone

    Chapter 112: Fighting Two Alone

    "I''m not going! If I go with you, can I even return?" Liu Ruoshui rejected straightaway.


    Under these circumstances, she would not leave with Ye Yuan no matter what.


    Regardless of whether what Ye Yuan said was true or false, Liu Ruoshui did not dare to take the risk.


    If what Ye Yuan said was true, this incident certainly had connections to her, Liu Ruoshui. Could she still escape?


    If what Ye Yuan said was false, then he did it to con her away. How could her outcome be good?


    At this point, Ye Yuan simply ignored Liu Ruoshui. Whether she went or not, was not up to her.


    "What do you think, Senior Apprentice Brother Su?" Ye Yuan looked at Su Yishan and asked.


    The intention was already crystal clear. If he agreed, then everything can be settled through discussion. If he disagreed, then fight!


    Su Yishan naturally would not agree. There were so many people were looking.


    "Don''t go too far, Ye Yuan! Do you think that you''re a disciplinary hall''s elder? You want to bring anyone with you, and they have to follow?" Su Yishan said in a low voice.


    "Of course I''m not a disciplinary hall''s elder. If I were a disciplinary hall''s elder, then whoever I sentence to death had to die," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Everyone understood these words. Ye Yuan was making a crack about the incident of Su Yubai publicly ambushing!


    "Humph! Ye Yuan, don''t scold the locust while pointing at the mulberry! I''ll report this matter to the Disciplinary Hall on my own. The Disciplinary Hall will get to the bottom of this, and do you justice." Su Yishan gave a derisive snort.


    The moment he finished speaking, murmuring immediately broke out among the surrounding onlookers.


    Who did not know that the First Elder of the Disciplinary Hall was his second uncle? Would there still be any justice to speak of once this matter reached the Disciplinary Hall?


    "Since that''s the case, we can only use fists to talk."


    Ye Yuan did not waste any more breath. He raised his hand and unleashed an Eighth Layer Wave!


    Now that Ye Yuan was already at peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, an Eighth Layer Wave was filled with incredible might.


    Su Yishan clearly did not expect Ye Yuan to attack right away, so he fell behind.


    However, he was worthy of being a pinnacle character in the top ten of the Martial Roll. He did not retreat at this point, but instead, he advanced with similarly a palm and clashed with Ye Yuan. It actually arrived first even though it was unleashed later!


    Middle-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Prajna Palm!


    A cold smile flashed across the corner of Su Yishan''s mouth as if he saw Ye Yuan being heavily injured and vomiting blood.


    A puny little Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm dared to make a move in front of him. If that was not courting death, then what was?


    No matter how powerful the Stacking Waves Layered Palm was, it was but an incomplete Tier 1 martial technique. There was still some use when dealing with First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    Who was he, Su Yishan? Peak Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and a pinnacle character in the top ten of the Martial Roll!


    Compared to the Stacking Waves Layered Palm, the might of the middle-grade Tier 2 Prajna Palm was a level higher.


    In terms of essence energy, he was more than a level stronger than Ye Yuan!


    No matter how one looked at it, there was no reason for Ye Yuan to remain uninjured.


    The way Su Yishan saw it, Ye Yuan was seeking death.


    He was wary of Wu Luochen but not Ye Yuan. Although Ye Yuan was recently in the limelight, his actual strength was at best slightly stronger than newly advanced Heaven rank students.


    Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm are in completely different weight classes!


    Boom!


    A violent confrontation. Su Yishan remained motionless, but Ye Yuan fell back over a dozen steps!


    Su Yishan furrowed his brows. He was very displeased with the effects of this palm. The result had a huge discrepancy from his expectations.


    Even though it was a hasty response, he had gathered 70% to 80% essence energy. It was just impossible for a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to withstand it.


    But there did not seem to be major issues with Ye Yuan currently other than his essence energy being a little disorderly.


    A Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm was actually unable to completely crush a puny Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm in a faceoff!


    Su Yishan used to turn his nose up whenever he heard how monstrous Ye Yuan was. Only now that he personally matched up with Ye Yuan, did he realize the degree of Ye Yuan''s monstrousness!


    "No way! Ye Yuan is actually fine? That was the Prajna Palm!"


    "Just now, I still thought that Ye Yuan was too reckless. I didn''t think that his strength was actually so great!"


    "Just based on that palm just now, he has probably already firmly entered the Martial Roll, right?"


    "Pretty much so!"


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan''s performance also exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    One had to know that those watching the battle were all Heaven rank students. Among them, there were quite a few who were experts on the Martial Roll.


    They were all too clear on the power of the Prajna Palm. That was a middle-grade Tier 2 martial technique. Furthermore, they heard that Su Yishan had already trained it to the Large Success rank. It had extraordinary might.


    Ye Yuan was actually perfectly fine after exchanging a palm with him!


    Ye Yuan''s performance previously was indeed sufficiently monstrous. But no matter how monstrous, it only meant that his potential was limitless. It did not represent how great his strength was.


    Ye Yuan''s skirmishes before were all within the Essence Qi Realm. Even Lin Tiancheng was at most a half-baked Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Lin Tiancheng''s strength when placed among Heaven rank students was among the lowest at the bottom of the ranking.


    Even though Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm now, the way many people saw it, he was merely slightly stronger than the average Heaven rank students.


    But only now, did the Heaven rank students understand that Ye Yuan already possessed the strength to talk on equal standing with them!


    The present Ye Yuan was no longer that First Level Essence Qi Realm rookie from a month back. He was a true Martial Roll expert!


    After calming down his disorderly essence energy, Ye Yuan also furrowed his brows.


    "Hey, if you continue watching the show, then this place doesn''t need you."


    Ye Yuan was very dissatisfied with Wu Luochen''s performance. He knew that Wu Luochen wanted to borrow Su Yishan''s hand to probe his strength. This made him very disgruntled.


    "H-haha, it was too sudden just now, didn''t react in time." Wu Luochen cracked a laugh.


    Facing Ye Yuan, Wu Luochen put away his zombie face that would not change in ten-thousand years, and smiled sheepishly, making Su Yishan gloomier.


    Who said that Wu Luochen was dumb? He was sharp as hell!


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes, and could not be bothered with him. He merely said, "I''m attacking. You do as you see fit."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone faceplant on the ground. Even though he retreated just now, the gap between Su Yishan and him was also very obvious. It was clear that there was not much hope.


    He still wanted to be foolhardy under this sort of circumstance?


    Ye Yuan activated Instant Flash and pointed a finger at Su Yishan.


    Absolute Yang Finger!


    Presently, the might of the Absolute Yang Finger unleashed by Ye Yuan already surpassed the Eighth Layer Wave!


    The cultivation law of the Spirit Bristle Divine King was no joke.


    "Courting death!" Su Yishan responded to different situations using the same method. Prajna Palm was unleashed once more!


    But this time around, Wu Luochen was not a spectator.


    At the same time Ye Yuan attacked, he also moved!


    Wu Luochen swept his leg at Su Yishan!


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s attack, Wu Luochen''s attack clearly held a greater threat.


    Under the two''s pincer attack, Su Yishan did not panic the slightest bit.


    Su Yishan''s movement technique was similarly a genuine Tier 2 martial technique, with a speed of 1.5 times higher than Wu Luochen!


    It was this time difference of 1.5 times which let him force Ye Yuan back with a palm first, and narrowly dodge Wu Luochen''s leg.


    At this moment, Su Yishan''s strength as the number ten on the Martial Roll was displayed in its full!


    Soon, the three people were locked in battle. The two parties actually fought to a standstill, with neither party able to do anything to the other.


    Of course, the ones leading the battle were still Su Yishan and Wu Luochen. Ye Yuan was reduced to a supporting cast.

 Chapter 113: Shaved

    Chapter 113: Shaved


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan did not seem to be unhappy about being in a supporting role.


    He knew that he was not Su Yishan''s match, so he deliberately dragged Wu Luochen into the water.


    Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were engrossed in their fierce fighting. He would occasionally throw in a distraction, which would immediately fluster Su Yishan.


    This made Su Yishan so depressed that he wanted to cough up blood.


    Su Yishan was a little wary of Wu Luochen, but his number ten on the Martial Roll was not obtained through Su Yubai. His strength was truly incomparably great.


    Matching up with Wu Luochen, he had confidence in defeating him within a hundred exchanges.


    But with Ye Yuan causing trouble by the side, it swiftly increased the pressure significantly.


    Although Ye Yuan''s attack did not pose much threat to him, Ye Yuan''s attacking power was indeed mighty. Even he, Su Yishan, would absolutely not feel good taking on an Eighth Layer Wave or Absolute Yang Finger.


    However, from another perspective, this also proved Su Yishan''s might.


    He was not in a disadvantageous position even when fighting two people alone!


    "The top twenty in the Martial Roll are all a bunch of sickos! Su Yishan and Wu Luochen became much stronger after the last Battle of Martial Roll!"


    "Yeah. The top twenty students of the Martial Roll are of a different level. The top twenty and the next twenty''s power difference is enormous! The top twenty students'' ranking would also change, but the majority of the time, it''s inter-swapping positions. It''s too difficult for those after rank twenty to try to squeeze inside."


    "En. After so long, only a sicko like Wu Luochen could charge into the top twenty. I feel that he might become the next Senior Apprentice Brother Long!"


    "I also have that feeling. This fellow''s too sick! Not only does his cultivation realm rise rapidly, but his martial techniques also improves unimaginably fast!"


    "However, no matter how sick those two people are, they aren''t as sick as Ye Yuan. That fellow simply isn''t human! If any other Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm were swapped into this battle, the outcome would be being one-shotted instantly. Not only can Ye Yuan protect himself, but he can also even cause trouble for Su Yishan every now and then."


    "Don''t talk about him anymore. That fellow is destined to be in a different world from us. I reckon that before long, he would become the core disciple of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, right? Even Senior Apprentice Brother long doesn''t have the qualifications!"


    A matchup between the top twenty of the Martial Roll was not so easy to see. Many Heaven rank students were commenting on it, but the final stop was still on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s might had completely exceeded their expectations. Many students substituted themselves into the battle. But to their dismay, they just could not perform as well as Ye Yuan.


    That was to say, Ye Yuan was already much stronger than the majority of them!


    There were around four to five hundred Heaven rank students in the Dan Wu Academy. And only the top 100 could enter the Martial Roll, becoming a Martial Roll''s expert!


    These 100 people were all elites among elites!


    Most of them had exhausted their potential like Lin Tiancheng, becoming mediocre people among the Heaven rank students.


    It was apparent that Ye Yuan was way stronger than them.


    Even the students at the back of the Martial Roll ranking felt ashamed of their inferiority in front of Ye Yuan.


    Just as everyone was immersed in their emotions, there was a sudden development to the battle situation!


    Who knew when an azure tasseled sword appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand? His entire aura underwent a massive change!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan''s entire person was just like an unsheathed sword; abnormally sharp!


    Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were in the midst of a fierce battle. When they felt that aura, they were greatly startled.


    But Ye Yuan did not give him much time to react. A streak of sword qi slashed towards his head!


    The timing of this sword was beautifully grasped. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen were right in the process of attacking. Their current state could not easily be changed or even halted.


    He was being tied down by Wu Luochen, so how could it be easy for him to free himself?


    This sword made Su Yishan''s heart palpitate. That horrifying sword intent could unequivocally tear through his protective essence energy, and directly slice off his head!


    In the moment of peril, how could Su Yishan be bothered to deal with Wu Luochen? He forcefully withdrew his move halfway, and dived straight down!


    That streak of sword qi just brushed the top of his head as it shot by.


    One had to say that Su Yishan''s reaction was quick. The dive of his not only evaded Ye Yuan''s lethal sword, but it also dodged Wu Luochen''s move!


    Even so, Su Yishan still cut an utterly sorry figure.


    While he evaded Ye Yuan''s lethal sword, that streak of sword qi still shattered his headpiece. Currently, Su Yishan was disheveled like a beggar. Where was there any grace of an expert?


    "Spirit artifact! That was definitely a spirit artifact!"


    Many students recognized the sword in Ye Yuan''s hand and exclaimed in surprise.


    "My god. Why does Ye Yuan have a spirit artifact?"


    "In the entire Dan Wu Academy, apart from the Illusionary Spirit Tower, only the dean has a spirit artifact as well! Where did Ye Yuan''s spirit artifact come from?"


    The moment Ye Yuan''s Canghua Sword was drawn, it immediately caused an uproar!


    In a mortal country, the scarcity of spirit artifacts already reached a degree which made people despair!


    The number of spirit artifacts in the entire State of Qin would not exceed one hand.


    But Ye Yuan actually had a spirit artifact in his hand!


    After the astonishment, virtually all the students had covetous eyes.


    This truly made people admire, envious, and hate!


    One had to know that if a martial artist possessed a spirit artifact, it could increase their combat power multiple times. Especially an attack type spirit artifact like Canghua Sword!


    And the power of a spirit artifact that could be unleashed by Ye Yuan was not even ten percent!


    Only Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could unleash a spirit artifact''s true power.


    If a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist possessed a spirit artifact, they could absolutely dominate those in the same realm!


    But now, a spirit artifact was actually held in a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm''s hands. What a reckless waste of God''s good gift!


    Ye Yuan ignored the other people''s amazement, and just asked casually. "Now, can I bring her away?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, a cold shiver ran down Liu Ruoshui''s spine. She did not think that Ye Yuan could defeat even Su Yishan!


    Su Yishan was number ten on the Martial Roll!


    Even Su Yishan could not shelter her. Then wasn''t she dead for sure?


    "Argh! Ye Yuan, you forced my hand!" Su Yishan was already completely incensed. He wanted to kill Ye Yuan at any cost!


    The next instant, a horrifying aura surged from Su Yishan''s body.


    He lightly lifted both hands with the palms facing the sky. Dirt-yellow color essence energy condensed in the center of his palms. That horrifying pressure suffocated people!


    "This . . . this aura is . . . the high-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Heaven Flipping Palm! You have to be careful, Ye Yuan!" Wu Luochen solemnly warned him.


    Ye Yuan''s face was similarly serious. He did not expect that Su Yishan still had such a trump card.


    Just this horrifying aura already far surpassed the power of Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm! The might of a high-grade Tier 2 martial technique was extraordinary!


    Ye Yuan stood with his sword horizontally with a never before seen solemnness on his face.


    "Ye Yuan! I want you to know that provoking me, Su Yishan, comes with a price! Go and die!"


    Right now, Su Yishan had already completely lost his reason. There was only one thing on his mind, which was to kill Ye Yuan!


    He brought both palms together, and the dirt-yellow glow rippled out.


    Next, would be a terrifying attack!


    "Yishan, leave it at this . . ." Right then, a faint voice sounded out in Su Yishan''s ear.

 Chapter 114: What Has It Got to Do with you?!

    Chapter 114: What Has It Got to Do with you?!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Yishan, leave it at this . . ."


    Right after this voice sounded out, Su Yishan was abruptly awakened. His aura also withdrew after that, vanishing imperceptibly.


    Seeing that Su Yishan''s Heaven Flipping Palm was stopped, not only did Ye Yuan not relax, his face turned even graver.


    Those Heaven Rank students automatically opened up a path, and Su Yubai walked out from the crowd.


    Everyone was stupefied. The one who stopped Su Yishan was actually Su Yubai?


    What happened? Didn''t Su Yubai hope for Ye Yuan to die most of all? Why did his character suddenly change?


    Su Yishan slowly walked to the front of Ye Yuan and the other two. Su Yishan and Wu Luochen respectfully bowed, and called out "Elder Su." Only Ye Yuan remained indifferent.


    "Humph! Don''t even know how to greet when you see me. Indeed without upbringing!" Seeing Ye Yuan''s behavior, Su Yubai''s temper flared right away.


    Ye Yuan simply replied nonchalantly, "I''ve cleared the Nine Heavens Road, and already have status equivalent to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciples. The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciple''s status is even higher than outer sect elders. The one who should be greeting . . . should be Elder Su, right?"


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciples had an extraordinary status. They were all one in a million geniuses and were also the target of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s heavy nurturing. They possessed many privileges.


    On the other hand, outer sect elders were at most just supervisors assisting the dean to manage the academy. They did not even count as sect disciples. So their status was naturally not as high as core disciples.


    Hearing that, Su Yubai''s face changed. He immediately gave a cold snort and said, "The high sect had not yet confirmed your status, so you are still the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy''s disciple. Don''t give me the attitude of some core disciple!"


    Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "It''s Elder Su who is putting on the airs on an elder with me. So I just have to make clear of my current status."


    Su Yubai sorrowfully discovered that he could never gain any advantage over Ye Yuan, so he could only change the topic. "Where did the spirit artifact in your hand come from? Such a precious artifact and you actually did not report to the academy. What are your intentions?"


    Su Yubai also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually have a spirit artifact in his hands!


    This truly made him incredibly envious!


    Su Yubai''s own lifeblood weapon was a high-grade magic artifact. Initially, it was also suitable for him.


    But Su Yubai was already a half-step Crystal Formation Realm. If he used a spirit artifact, it would definitely let his strength rise to another level.


    Originally, he did not think much about spirit artifacts, because spirit artifacts were too scarce.


    But now, a spirit artifact actually appeared in Ye Yuan''s hands. How could he remain unperturbed?


    For a puny little Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to use a spirit artifact, wasn''t that wasting God''s gift?


    How could Ye Yuan not know Su Yubai''s little thoughts? Hearing that, he only said coolly, "You know that I swore a Heaven Dao Oath before challenging the Nine Heavens Road. So it''s inconvenient for me to report about the origins of this sword. If Elder Su is uneasy, then you can inquire from the high sect. This sword should have once had illustrious fame. I believe it wouldn''t be hard to enquire."


    High sect! High sect again!


    Using high sect to suppress me right?


    Su Yubai despondently discovered that he really could not do anything about it.


    Since Ye Yuan dared to openly take this sword out, it showed that there was definitely no issues with its origins.


    Although Ye Yuan said nothing, he already indicated the source of this sword, Nine Heavens Road!


    Came from the Nine Heavens Road? Then this would be easy!


    "Since this sword came from the Nine Heavens Road, how can you keep it for yourself? The Nine Heavens Road belongs to the Nine Heavens Road. Since you acquired the spirit artifact on the Nine Heavens Road, you should pass it to the academy to deal with it!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled. "Pass to the academy to deal with it? It''s pass to Elder Su to handle, right? Just be candid about wanting the spirit artifact. What''s with so many detours?"


    Su Yubai''s Face Thickness Divine Art had clearly been cultivated to an extremely high realm. He did not show any embarrassment after having his thoughts exposed by Ye Yuan.


    "This elder is devoted to public interests. Don''t try to slander me! After your spirit artifact is passed to the academy, how to deal with it would naturally be up to the dean and the Elders Council to decide. This spirit artifact originally came from the academy, how can you keep it all to yourself?"


    Su Yubai said it with a strong sense of righteousness. Except, who knew how many people actually would fall for that.


    "Elder Su''s public spirit is truly touching. But . . . according to what I know, the Nine Heavens Road doesn''t seem to be under the jurisdiction of the academy? Even if I have to hand it up, it will also be passed to the sect. What has it got to do with you?!" Ye Yuan did not hold back his words at all.


    "You! Courting death!" Su Yubai was so angered by Ye Yuan that his seven souls were about to leave his body, and he looked as if he was about to make a move.


    Ye Yuan jumped up instead, and yelled out, "Ahh! Elder Su wants to kill people! Everyone, be a witness for me!"


    Su Yubai''s raging fire was instantly extinguished by Ye Yuan''s shout.


    Ye Yuan''s current status was exceptional. If he were to really kill Ye Yuan in public, his elder position could be considered to have come to an end.


    The charge of killing a high sect''s core disciple was not something he could shoulder.


    He stopped Su Yishan naturally because of this reason as well. He did not think that a few sentences in, he was already swept in by Ye Yuan.


    Su Yubai suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was like a hedgehog, leaving him nowhere to bite.


    So aggrieving!


    "Such utter nonsense! When did I want to kill people?" Su Yubai snorted icily.


    "Do you dare to say that you didn''t have killing intent just now?" Ye Yuan made no concessions at all.


    ". . . . . ."


    Su Yubai had no words to say to that. He switched topic once again. "Forget about that first. I heard that you want to bring away this female student for a private interrogation. Do you know that you are setting up a clandestine tribunal?"


    "Clandestine tribunal? Then let me ask you, what''s the charge for offending a core disciple? You, Elder Su, can say that my status is not yet authentic, but Liu Ruoshui doesn''t have that qualification, right?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "This . . . Offending a core disciple, severe cases can be the death penalty. But according to what I know, she doesn''t seem to have offended you?" Su Yubai said.


    "How do you know that she did not offend and that it wasn''t sophistry?" Ye Yuan retorted.


    "Lin Tiancheng and Zhang Heng were already killed by you. This matter has no other witnesses. You aren''t going to rely just on your guesswork to sentence her crime, right?" Su Yubai smiled coldly.


    "I said just now, I have my ways of making her talk. If she didn''t take part in this matter, then the grudges between us will be wiped off the slate! If she feels dissatisfied, I can even apologize to her publicly!"


    "What a joke! What method do you have to make her talk? Don''t tell me you want to beat a confession out of her?"


    Ye Yuan said casually, "I''m afraid that Elder Su has done quite a bit of those sort of things, right? However . . . I''m not as ruthless as Elder Su, so I''m unable to do those sort of malicious things."


    Su Yubai''s wrath had just subsided when it was evoked by Ye Yuan again.


    This punk was really someone that exasperated people to death without paying for it.


    Forcefully suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yubai said in a low voice, "Who in the Dan Wu Academy doesn''t know that this elder enforces the law impartially? Right now, we''re talking about you. Why did you come onto me?"


    "Like that huh? Fine then. I know that Elder Su is ignorant and ill-informed. I wonder if you have ever heard of a type of medicinal pill called the Truth Pill? En . . . Looking at your appearance, you must be unaware. Let me explain it for Elder Su. A Truth Pill is a Tier 2 medicinal pill. If Liu Ruoshui eats it, she will answer anything I ask. At that time, the truth will naturally be revealed."


    Ye Yuan explained about the Truth Pill, and also made a quip at Su Yubai . . .

 Chapter 115: Refining a Truth Pill

    Chapter 115: Refining a Truth Pill


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Utter nonsense! This elder has lived to this old age, and I have never heard of such a medicinal pill!"


    Although Su Yubai did not specialize in Alchemy Dao, the Su Family still managed a medicinal herbs business. He was absolutely not a stranger to medicinal pills.


    Since he said he had never heard of it, then even if another Alchemy Dao elder came over, they probably never heard of it as well.


    Except that these words were equivalent to stealthily acknowledging that he was ignorant . . .


    "I already said that Elder Su is ignorant and ill-informed, so how could you have heard of it before? But it doesn''t matter whether you heard of it before or not. What you hear may be false, but what you see is true. After I refine a few of them out, then wouldn''t Elder Su know if it''s real or fake after sampling it personally? At that time, I guarantee that which concubine Elder Su spent the previous night with will be grilled out," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan''s words prompted roars with laughter from everyone. The laughter only ceased after Su Yubai shot a menacing glance.


    Ye Yuan had extremely extensive research in Alchemy Dao. He dabbled in all sorts of areas.


    On the other hand, most of the pill formulas in the State of Qin were targeted for the Martial Dao. Either to help martial artists increase their strength, or to help martial artists recover essence energy, so on and so forth.


    This sort of obscure medicinal pill like the Truth Pill would naturally not be recorded.


    The highest level martial artists in the State of Qin did not surpass the Crystal Formation Realm, and their age did not get past 300 years old. Even if one was an Alchemy Grandmaster, how much leisure time would they have to research this sort of obscure medicinal pill?


    But, like Ye Yuan said, differentiating whether the medicinal pill was real or fake was very simple. Just find someone to test it out.


    The medicinal effects could not be faked. With so many people watching, faking it would be exposed straightaway. Unless the person trying out the medicine was arranged by Ye Yuan.


    Su Yubai naturally would not commit such a low-level blunder.


    "Humph! Flippant child! I want to see just how you clean up the mess later!" Su Yubai snorted coldly.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan and Su Yubai determined Liu Ruoshui''s fate.


    When Liu Ruoshui heard Su Yubai''s words, she ran hastily to Su Yishan''s side and pulled on his arm, begging for his help. "Senior Apprentice Brother Su, I . . . I don''t want to . . ."


    Su Yishan pulled his arm back, and Liu Ruoshui staggered, collapsing onto the ground.


    Su Yishan was still enraged after being humiliated by Ye Yuan and felt that this woman was a troublemaker. Why would he pity her?


    "Do you feel that it''s still up to you at this juncture?" Su Yishan said coldly.


    . . . . . .


    In Feng Ruoqing''s pill refinement room, Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing swapped roles. Feng Ruoqing did the series of preparation work for Ye Yuan''s pill refinement.


    "Sigh, I say, can''t you just rest for a while? You just came back from the Nine Heavens Road, yet you caused another big upheaval in the entire academy," Feng Ruoqing grumbled as she did her job.


    Ye Yuan was seriously too proficient at causing disturbances. Even since his abrupt rise, it seemed like the academy had never had a break.


    "Heh. Not that I''m unwilling to stop, it''s just that there''s always some people who keep finding trouble. Lu-er is my kin. If I can''t take revenge for her after being hurt to such an extent, how can I be fit to be her young master? Also, how can I face her after she wakes up in a few days? If they want to touch me, then just come at me openly. Even if I''m beaten till I''m crippled, I also won''t harbor such a grudge. But if they touch my family and friends . . . absolutely not!"


    She did not know why, but after hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Feng Ruoqing''s heart involuntarily quaked, and she blurted out, "If I suffered like Lu-er, would you be like this too?"


    "Of course! Aren''t we good friends?" Ye Yuan said without thinking.


    Blissfulness instantly seeped into her heart, making Feng Ruoqing feel a never before experience, a sense of satisfaction.


    "But . . . I''m afraid I don''t have that opportunity, right? You''re a proud daughter of heaven, the youngest high-rank Alchemy Master in the Dan Wu Academy. Who would dare to bully you!" Ye Yuan added.


    Feng Ruoqing smiled sweetly and said, "That might not be the case. Who knows there might really come a day where I, this proud daughter of heaven, would require your protection."


    "Haha, I''m afraid that it''s the honor of every male in the Dan Wu Academy to be able to protect Teacher Feng, right?" Ye Yuan chuckled.


    Feng Ruoqing blushed lightly and diverted the topic. "Oh, right, is there really such a medicinal pill called the Truth Pill? It''s also imparted to you by your Master?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The Truth Pill actually isn''t some profound medicinal pill. It''s a type of medicinal pill which is applied to the divine soul, making the martial artist''s divine soul give up resistance. Since there''s a medicinal pill which strengthens soul strength like the Soul Nourishing Pill, there''s naturally the Truth Pill."


    Feng Ruoqing came to a realization. "So that''s how it is! Looks like my horizons are still too shallow. It turns out that if we think about the problem from another perspective, there''s actually such an effect!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This can''t be rushed. Master''s realm is remarkably high. How can I compare to his horizons? Such a simple logic, if I had to come up with a way, I might not be able to conceive it in my entire life. Even when his cultivation was at our current realm, he might not even have understood this logic."


    Only then did Feng Ruoqing feel at ease. "You are right. Cultivation realm determines one''s horizons. Looks like my road is still long. The preparation work is done. Start the furnace and refine the pill."


    Ye Yuan nodded and started refining the Truth Pill.


    Compared to during the Alchemist Test, no matter whether it was essence energy or soul strength, Ye Yuan was way stronger. It would naturally not be as strenuous for the current Ye Yuan to refine low-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    . . . . . .


    After two hours, Ye Yuan appeared in front of Su Yubai once more, holding a bottle of freshly made Truth Pills.


    "This is the Truth Pill. Does Elder Su wish to personally try it out?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Snort! The person testing the medicine is already arranged. I''ll watch just how you clean up the scene later!"


    While Ye Yuan was refining, Su Yubai already inquired from several Alchemy Dao experts. None of them had heard of Truth Pill.


    Even if Ye Yuan was a low-rank Alchemy Master, could he be stronger than the seniors in the academy?


    Hence, Su Yubai had long determined that Ye Yuan was misleading others through trickery. All so that Liu Ruoshui would obediently submit.


    Su Yubai was an old veteran. How could he fall for this sort of trick?


    At this time, there were even more spectators. Apart from the students, many instructors also arrived at the scene. Even those from the Elders Council had assembled, including the two deputy deans.


    "Ye Yuan, this dean has already researched the alchemy path for two hundred years, and I''ve never heard of something called Truth Pill. Do you really have confidence?"


    Hu Changsheng was an Alchemy Grandmaster. He had the greatest right to speak here. Even he had not heard of Truth Pill. This made many people have doubts about Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not sense any malice from Hu Changsheng, but instead, there was a faint concern. So he smiled and said, "Don''t worry, Dean Hu. If this medicinal pill has a problem, I will offer my head to Elder Su. I can see that he has been interested in this youngster''s head for quite some time already."


    This punk must surely be throwing mist in our eyes! I mustn''t fall for it! Su Yubai kept repeatedly warned himself in his heart.


    Furthermore, even if Ye Yuan dared to offer his head, Su Yubai also did not dare to accept it! Ye Yuan already had the status of the high sect''s core disciple now. If he were to die mysteriously, Su Yubai would not be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.


    Hu Changsheng''s face changed when he heard that, and said solemnly, "What rubbish are you talking about? If there''s really a problem, then a punishment is a must. How can you talk so lightly about life and death?"


    It sounded like reprimanding, but everyone could hear the intent to protect Ye Yuan within those words.

 Chapter 116: Testing Medicine

    Chapter 116: Testing Medicine


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Heh, no use talking so much. Just try, and you will know."


    Ye Yuan''s confident manner made Su Yubai feel uncertain.


    But when he thought of how even Hu Changsheng did not recognize this type of medicinal pill, then this pill was most likely fabricated by Ye Yuan.


    Still stubbornly hanging on at this time. I''ll watch just how you die later!


    Su Yubai was already planning how to punish Ye Yuan. The death penalty was definitely a no go. But a flogging punishment could be considered.


    Everything was in place. A flustered looking Liu Ruoshui was brought in front of everyone.


    Su Yubai shot an icy glance at Liu Ruoshui and said, "Don''t be afraid, Liu Ruoshui. Even Dean Hu had never seen such a medicinal pill before. Do you think it can be real? As long as you can prove that this medicinal pill has no effect, not only will this elder proclaim your innocence, I''ll even punish Ye Yuan severely. Understood?"


    Currently, Liu Ruoshui was completely flustered. But after hearing Su Yubai said this, it really added quite a bit of confidence.


    Yeah. Dean Hu was an Alchemy Grandmaster. A medicinal pill that even he had not heard of was surely fabricated by Ye Yuan!


    It was a pity that Liu Ruoshui did not attend the alchemist test together with Ye Yuan. Otherwise, she would not have such confidence.


    If Wan Yuan were here, he would definitely rather die than eat the medicinal pill.


    You got to kidding. To be able to train that fiendishly difficult Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique to the legendary stage, it would not be unusual to refine any medicinal pill!


    Liu Ruoshui sucked in a deep breath, shot Ye Yuan a vicious look and said, "I understand! Ye Yuan, since you frame me so unjustly, this isn''t over! I will just try your so-called Truth Pill and see whether it''s real or fake!"


    Ye Yuan did not mind Liu Ruoshui''s venomous stare at all. He just smiled faintly and said, "This isn''t over? I''m afraid you don''t have the chance."


    Finishing, he turned to Su Yubai again and said, "Let''s say the nasty stuff first, Elder Su. If I deceived everyone, I am willing to accept any punishment. But if my medicinal pill is effective and I extracted the truth? Then what?"


    Su Yubai replied without hesitation, "If Liu Ruoshui truly colluded with Lin Tiancheng to set up fellow disciples, she will naturally be dealt with according to the academy''s rules. Her cultivation will be crippled, and she will be expelled from the academy."


    Ye Yuan nodded after hearing this. "I believe Elder Su should not go back on your words in front of so many people. Begin then!"


    "Hold on!" Su Yubai halted.


    "What? Does Elder Su still have issues?"


    "This medicinal pill is refined by you, who knows what the hell are you playing at? During the process of testing the medicine, you have to stand back, Ye Yuan!"


    Su Yubai was clearly still a little concerned. What if this medicinal pill was fake, but Ye Yuan had methods to display some means to compel Liu Ruoshui to tell lies? That was also a possibility.


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that and quickly understood. He had a teasing smile on his face as he said, "Elder Su is really cautious. Fine. Since Elder Su is uneasy about me, just ask personally. I''ll go and take a walk."


    Ye Yuan then threw the bottle towards Su Yubai and really left without looking back.


    Su Yubai instinctively caught the bottle and could not help being speechless. He did not think that Ye Yuan was so dauntless, to leave just like that. However, he was still apprehensive, so he shot Su Yishan a look to make him follow Ye Yuan out, and keep an eye on him.


    "Alright Elder Su, Ye Yuan already left. Can we begin?" Hu Changsheng said somewhat impatiently.


    Su Yubai''s yardstick of a despicable man had made Hu Changsheng not having any good feelings toward him at all. A dignified Disciplinary Hall Elder without any imperturbability at all and was so guarded against a junior.


    Being urged by Hu Changsheng, Su Yubai also felt that he was a little too cautious.


    Ye Yuan might be cunning, but he clearly could not pull any underhanded tricks in front of him.


    However, caution was the parent of safety. Su Yubai did not wish to let go of any trace of opportunity to strike Ye Yuan down.


    He was doing this in order to punish Ye Yuan, to make him enter the Endless Forest with injuries.


    The real killing mechanism he arranged was in the Endless Forest!


    Killing Ye Yuan inside the Endless Forest, even if the high sect came, they would also have nothing to say.


    Even if Huyan Yong, Feng Ruoqing, and co suspected him, what proof would they have?


    Su Yubai took out a pill from the medicine bottle and passed it to Liu Ruoshui.


    Liu Ruoshui received the medicinal pill, and her face changed color multiple times.


    Although she already affirmed that this medicinal pill was definitely fake in her heart, when it really came down to consuming it, hesitation was still unavoidable.


    "Swallow the medicinal pill and start circulating all of your essence energy to resist the erosion of the medicinal effect!" Su Yubai transmitted his voice.


    Liu Ruoshui shot a glance at Su Yubai, closed her eyes, and swallowed the pill.


    The medicinal pill melted right after entering the mouth. Liu Ruoshui did not dare to delay. She immediately circulated all of her essence energy to resist the medicinal effects.


    But Liu Ruoshui mournfully discovered that she totally could not find where the medicinal effect went to.


    Her essence energy was circulating, yet she could not find any trace of the medicinal effects.


    Liu Ruoshui could not be blamed for this either. If she had consumed Soul Nourishing Pills before, she would not be at such a complete loss.


    But sadly, those sort of medicinal pills like the Soul Nourishing Pill was extremely precious. She had not consumed it before.


    After a few breaths, Liu Ruoshui suddenly felt her divine soul shudder.


    Liu Ruoshui silently cussed, but it was already too late now. Her consciousness became increasingly fuzzy . . .


    Everyone was paying close attention to Liu Ruoshui''s change. Su Yubai saw that Liu Ruoshui''s pupils gradually dilated, and her eyes became more and more vacant. A premonition suddenly surged in his heart.


    "No way? It seems like it really took effect!"


    "There''s actually such a miraculous medicinal pill. Simply incredible! Too terrifying!"


    "Why do I feel that Ye Yuan is omnipotent right now? Even Dean Hu had not heard of this Truth Pill before. Where did he get the pill formula from?"


    "Who knows. Just look at each one of the things he did. Which of them conformed to common sense?"


    Liu Ruoshui''s transformation caused a commotion. Clearly, everyone saw that something was amiss.


    Many people recalled Ye Yuan''s words of ridicule about which concubine''s room Su Yubai slept in. Back then, they only treated it as a joke. But now, they could not help having goosebumps all over.


    Everyone had their secrets and things which they did not want others to know deep down in their heart. But with this Truth Pill, wouldn''t these secrets casually spill out?


    If one consumed the Truth pill, was it not like being stripped naked and then thrown out onto the streets?


    Nobody wanted to experience this sort of feeling!


    "Looks like the Truth pill already took effect, Elder Su. Begin questioning then," Hu Changsheng said lightly.


    Although his tone was calm, the shock that Hu Changsheng felt was not the least bit inferior to the rest.


    Su Yubai had not asked yet, but Hu Changsheng basically already confirmed that this Truth Pill really worked!


    There was actually such a miraculous medicinal pill in the world!


    And this medicinal pill was only a low-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill!


    The expressions on Su Yubai''s face was very interesting. There was shock, disbelief, and unwillingness.


    At this moment, Su Yubai''s thought of eradicating Ye Yuan was unprecedentedly firm!


    Ye Yuan''s threat in Su Yubai''s heart had already greatly surpassed Ye Hang''s!


    If Ye Yuan were given another few years, no, even just a year''s time, the Su Family would be ushering in an unprecedented danger!


    He must not walk out alive from the Endless Forest!

 Chapter 117: How Will I Know If You Don’t Talk?

    Chapter 117: How Will I Know If You Don��t Talk?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Liu Ruoshui''s two eyes were vacant and lackluster, akin to a walking corpse.


    Su Yubai took a deep breath and probed her further. "Let me ask you, Liu Ruoshui. Ye Yuan said that you incited Lin Tiancheng to set up his maidservant, Lu-er. Was there such a thing?"


    Hearing Su Yubai questioned her, Liu Ruoshui seemed to have some reaction. It was just that the reaction was somewhat sluggish.


    Liu Ruoshui only replied woodenly after some time, "Yes."


    Su Yubai''s face darkened slightly and continued questioning, "Why did you want to deal with Ye Yuan''s maidservant?"


    "Because . . . I nearly killed him and was scared that he would take revenge in the future. Hence . . . I used every means possible to deal with him. Lin Tiancheng''s strength was hailed as the greatest among the Earth rank students. He originally already harbored hatred for Ye Yuan in his heart. I incited him to lay hands on Ye Yuan''s maidservant. Ye Yuan will definitely find Lin Tiancheng. At that time, I can borrow Lin Tiancheng''s hands to deal with Ye Yuan," Liu Ruoshui confessed everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.


    Su Yubai''s face became increasingly unsightly. Even though he already guessed that the result would be like this, Liu Ruoshui saying it personally still made him feel stifled.


    He could not have imagined that there was actually such a miraculous medicinal pill in this world that could make people confess what was hidden deep within their hearts.


    If their Su Family could take control of this type of medicinal pill, their power would rise tremendously!


    The moment Liu Ruoshui admitted it, all the students started muttering to each other in low voices.


    "It''s really her! This woman is really malicious! To actually lay hands on a little girl who was a stranger!"


    "She looks so pretty. But she''s actually a femme fatale!"


    "Such a venomous woman should be killed directly!"


    "I heard that Ye Yuan''s maidservant passed the entry test, and already officially became the academy''s disciple. This woman was actually so merciless towards fellow disciples. Truly wicked!"


    The students were stirred up for a moment and felt abhorred by Liu Ruoshui''s actions.


    Even if Ye Yuan and Liu Ruoshui had conflicts, Lu-er was innocent!


    A young lady was now on the verge of death after being harmed by Liu Ruoshui. She really suffered an undeserved calamity!


    At this point, Hu Changsheng said, "Alright, the truth is already out. Go and call Ye Yuan back."


    Not long after, Ye Yuan was then called back. When he saw Su Yubai''s expression, he already knew what the outcome was.


    "I wonder what was extracted just now, Elder Su? Did the Truth Pill have an effect?" Although he already knew the result, Ye Yuan still did not wish to give up the opportunity to make things difficult for Su Yubai.


    "Humph! Don''t you already know? Why are you still asking?" Su Yubai said grumpily.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan could not tell.


    "Ah? What do I know? You have to say. If you don''t talk, how will I know?" Ye Yuan said innocently.


    "You!" Su Yubai was enraged by Ye Yuan once again.


    "What about me? Just what did Liu Ruoshui say? Talk!"


    Su Yubai stared at Ye Yuan, and wished he could slap him to death with one palm!


    Ye Yuan clearly knew the result, yet he wanted him to say it out. Wasn''t this asking him to slap himself?


    Su Yubai did not care about Liu Ruoshui''s life or death. But he minded his own face and prestige very much.


    The Disciplinary Hall placed the highest emphasis on prestige. If he, the first elder, had his face swept clean by Ye Yuan, how would he punish students in the future?


    Su Yubai was currently regretting finding trouble. If he knew earlier, he would just directly cripple Liu Ruoshui and be done with it. What was the point of triggering all these?


    Right now, he felt that he was simply moving closer to let Ye Yuan hit his face. And this slap from Ye Yuan was pretty damn loud!


    "Liu Ruoshui, she said . . . she said . . ." Su Yubai repeated ''she said'' multiple times but did not continue.


    "Aiya. My Elder Su, you will be the death of me! Just what did she say?"


    Ye Yuan gave an extremely anxious look, rousing a wave of sniggering from everyone.


    To dare make Elder Su lose face like that, Ye Yuan was truly unique in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Su Yubai had always been notorious for being cold-blooded and merciless. He had very high prestige in the Dan Wu Academy. Regardless of who landed in his hands, the outcome would never be good. Hence, he had the nickname of ''Yama King Su'' in the academy.


    Of course, nobody dared to say this nickname to his face.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually swept Yama King Su''s face away. This made many people feel extremely satisfied!


    It''s truly evil will be rewarded with evil!


    "Alright, Ye Yuan. Liu Ruoshui already admitted to framing you and your maidservant. Elder Su, carry out according to the academy''s rules then." Deputy Dean Zhang Songtao who had been silent all this while could not bear to watch on anymore. So he could only stand up to smooth things out.


    "Oh, so that''s the case. Scared me to death. I thought that the Truth Pill was no good! You should have said that sooner, Elder Su. How will I know if you don''t talk?"


    Ye Yuan gave an innocent face after getting off cheap, making Su Yubai gnashed his teeth in hatred. Yet, he was unable to do anything to him.


    At this time, it seemed like the effects of the Truth Pill wore off. Some light returned to Liu Ruoshui''s eyes.


    Liu Ruoshui discovered that the atmosphere seemed to be a little off. Suddenly, she recalled the feeling of her divine soul trembling after consuming the medicinal pill and immediately felt that things were bad.


    "E-elder Su, I . . . I . . ."


    Su Yubai was currently seething with rage with nowhere to explode. The moment Liu Ruoshui spoke, it instantaneously ignited his wrath.


    Su Yubai''s face darkened, and he said sternly, "Liu Ruoshui! You conspired with Lin Tiancheng to harm fellow disciples, causing them to be severely injured and on the verge of death! In accordance with the rules, I sentence your cultivation to be crippled, and you to be immediately expelled from the academy! Are you going to do it yourself, or am I?"


    Liu Ruoshui''s face paled considerably when she heard that. She kneeled down right away and hugged Su Yubai''s leg, begging, "Mercy, Elder Su! Have mercy! For the sake of Senior Apprentice Brother Su and me . . ."


    It was still fine if Liu Ruoshui did not mention Su Yishan. Once she mentioned Su Yishan, Su Yubai became even more incensed. How could he allow her to continue talking? He straightaway kicked her Dantian area, sending her flying out.


    "Ah!" Liu Ruoshui gave a miserable cry and flew out.


    Su Yubai was a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert. He kicked out right then in anger. Although he did not use full strength, how could it be something that Liu Ruoshui could withstand?


    This kick completely scattered the essence energy which Liu Ruoshui toiled and moiled to cultivate, turning her into a cripple!


    "Puu!" Liu Ruoshui sprayed out a mouthful of blood, staining her clothes bright red, making her look utterly miserable.


    "Humph! When you plotted against fellow disciples, you should have prepared for today''s outcome! Right now, Ye Yuan''s maidservant is dying. I only crippled your cultivation and expelled you. It''s already considered light. If you continue to not know what''s good for and bite randomly, then it wouldn''t be as simple as evicting you out!" Su Yubai came in front of Liu Ruoshui and warned while looking down from a height.


    Liu Ruoshui felt that her Dantian area was completely empty, and knew that she already became a cripple.


    Hearing Su Yubai''s threatening words right now as well, she laughed manically. "Hahaha . . . Your Su Family really have no good people! If you have the capability, then kill me, Su Yubai! You don''t let me say it, but I insist on it! Su Yishan wanted my body, saying he would shield me. In the end, he can''t even beat Ye Yuan! You have power and authority, yet you treated me as a sacrificial piece! Su Yubai, I won''t let you off even if I become a ghost! Haha . . ."


    Su Yishan also returned right then. When he heard Liu Ruoshui''s words, his face turned completely dark . . .

 Chapter 118: Su Yubai’s Killing Mechanism!

    Chapter 118: Su Yubai��s Killing Mechanism!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Liu Ruoshui went ''mad,'' and Su Yubai gave out the instruction for her to be forcefully sent out of the academy.


    When Liu Ruoshui left the academy, she became a wandering soul; at a loss on where to go.


    She was once full of ambition and thought that she could rise above over. She was formerly delicate and charming like a flower, pursued by all.


    And now, she, Liu Ruoshui, was just a cripple. A walking corpse. Even passersby could not be bothered to look at her.


    A day later, an assassin who was tailing her the entire day stabbed her with a knife at her back, finishing off this formerly alluring young lady.


    In reality, many people predicted this ending. It was just that there was nobody concerned with Liu Ruoshui anymore.


    Liu Ruoshui''s outcome today was reaping the fruits she sowed. Who would sympathize with a black-hearted woman?


    After this incident, Ye Yuan then proceeded to read thoroughly the cultivation law jade slip which Feng Ruoqing sent over, and passed her a jade slip he imprinted himself.


    Feng Ruoqing was initially worried that going to the Scripture Library to select cultivation law would waste a lot of time. Who knew that Ye Yuan would casually throw her a cultivation law?


    She used divine sense to sweep over the cultivation law Ye Yuan passed her and was involuntarily astonished.


    This cultivation was simply custom-made for Feng Zhirou! What was different was that this cultivation law was an extreme yin cultivation law!


    This made Feng Ruoqing sigh in admiration once again at how powerful Ye Yuan''s master was.


    After settling Feng Zhirou''s matter, Ye Yuan directly entered closed-seclusion, and no longer concerned himself with the academy''s affairs.


    As for the spar with Wu Luochen, both parties agreed to do it after the Endless Trials.


    Wu Luochen could tell that although Ye Yuan''s strength greatly surpassed those of the same rank, he was ultimately a major realm away from him. It was still somewhat premature to fight now, so he also gave up.


    Following Ye Yuan''s closed-seclusion, the academy seemed to have returned to its former peace.


    Then, the third day after Ye Yuan entered his retreat, another matter caused a huge disturbance in the entire Dan Wu Academy once more!


    Following Ye Yuan''s action, the rank one on the Martial Roll, Long Tang, challenged the Nine Heavens Road!


    The Nine Heavens Road was illustriously notorious. More often than not, several years, even over a decade would pass before anybody dared to challenge it.


    But now, there was actually two students challenging the Nine Heavens Road consecutively within three days. This was explosively big news.


    Although Long Tang was rank one on the Martial Roll, there were still not many people who thought highly of him challenging the Nine Heavens Road.


    The Nine Heavens Road was too hard!


    If Long Tang were already confident a long time ago, he would not have waited until today to challenge it.


    Hence, the vast majority felt that Long Tang went to challenge the Nine Heavens Road because he was triggered by Ye Yuan.


    Without any doubt, all of the experts on the Martial Roll were highly arrogant, let alone the one standing at the top of the Martial Roll, Long Tang.


    A formerly unknown student made it past the Nine Heavens Road. As the number one on the Martial Roll, didn''t Long Tang get beaten?


    One had to know that although rank one on the Martial Roll was termed a genius when compared to Ye Yuan who made it past the Nine Heavens Road, the difference was enormous!


    Only by making it through the Nine Heavens Road could he prove that the degree of his talent did not lose out to Ye Yuan!


    This was a colossal gamble! If he lost this bet, then Long Tang would not even be able to keep his life!


    Under these circumstances, expectedly, many students felt that Long Tang was too narrow-minded, and this should not be the conduct of a rank one of the Martial Roll.


    As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan''s talent had already long surpassed Long Tang in many students'' heart. He was well-deserving for being number one in the academy!


    But Long Tang was unable to accept this reality, so he used his life to wager this name.


    Only Zuo Bugui knew about Long Tang''s plan. Although he did not really understand it, it was definitely not acting on impulse.


    On the contrary, Long Tang was unprecedentedly calm right now! So calm until Zuo Bugui was unable to grasp his depth!


    Just several days without seeing him and Long Tang actually underwent such a huge transformation. Could it be that he was really enlightened?


    "Are you really going, Old Long?" At the foot of the Nine Heavens Peak, Zuo Bugui and Long Tang stood shoulder to shoulder.


    "Naturally," Long Tang replied casually.


    "Sigh. I know that I can''t sway you so I won''t persuade you anymore. I wish you good luck then."


    "En. I will succeed."


    Long Tang was wholly composed as if he was only explaining a fact.


    Zuo Bugui and Long Tang had been rivals for such a long time. He knew that he had never been an arrogant and conceited person. But where did he get his confidence?


    Just because Ye Yuan made it through? Long Tang was not so superficial, right?


    Long Tang went in front of the stone tablet, swore the Heavenly Dao Oath, and resolutely stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road!


    . . . . . .


    At the back of the mountain, in the abode of the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder. Su Yubai looked at Su Yishan with a dark face.


    "Yishan, you are the future patriarch of the Su Family. How can you not weigh the importance when doing things? You''ve disappointed me greatly in this matter!" Su Yubai reprimanded him relentlessly.


    Su Yishan sweated profusely and bowed as he said, "I was wrong, Second Uncle."


    "Do you know where you were wrong?"


    "I should not have get involved with that crazy woman!"


    Speaking of Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan also gnashed his teeth in hatred. That woman was a troublemaker, drawing major problems for him.


    "You''re wrong! It''s just a woman. With your identity and status, what kind of woman can''t you have? You were wrong not because of provoking that woman, but for provoking Ye Yuan! You clearly knew that this woman came to find you to avoid Ye Yuan and you actually dared to shelter her! If it was just sheltering her, then forget it. But you became enemies with Ye Yuan for her beauty!" Su Yubai''s words shot out extremely fast.


    Su Yishan gritted his teeth and said, "Merely a Ye Yuan, who would have thought that he could actually make Wu Luochen work for him? Otherwise . . ."


    "Otherwise what? Kill him? If I didn''t make it on time, even if you killed Ye Yuan, you also can''t escape death yourself! Even though the high sect hasn''t come over to name Ye Yuan, his status as a core disciple can no longer be changed. Did you consider the consequences of killing a high sect''s core disciple? You''re the next patriarch of the Su Family. How could you do things without thinking it through?" Su Yubai reproved him.


    Su Yishan shuddered. Back then, he was in the heat of the moment. How would he have considered so much?


    Now that he thought about it, he was genuinely fearful.


    Seeing Su Yishan''s appearance, Su Yubai grunted coldly. "Do you understand now?"


    Su Yishan sucked in deeply and nodded, saying, "Many thanks for Second Uncle''s teachings. This child understood."


    "Understood what?"


    "Killing Ye Yuan must be a one blow certain kill! Otherwise, hitting the snake and not killing it will result in injuries! Since we''re in the academy and I have no way of killing him, I shouldn''t have taken the initiative to provoke him. The result was getting skunk juice all over me! Second Uncle, this child still underestimated Ye Yuan. The speed of his growth . . . is too quick!" Although he did not wish to admit it, Su Yishan already acknowledged Ye Yuan''s power.


    The anger on Su Yubai''s face finally subsided and what replaced it was a satisfied look.


    "That''s right! You''re the young patriarch of the Su Family. How you want to play with women is not an issue. But there''s one thing. Never, ever, hold up important things because of women. Why did I want to publicly kill Ye Yuan? That''s because I saw his future threat! Although I didn''t succeed, that was just an accident. Since the matter cannot be done, then we will temporarily put it aside. Why shouldn''t we make good use of such a fine opportunity like the Endless Trials when it''s placed right there. The Endless Trials is our best chance, and also our last chance! Hence, Ye Yuan must die inside the Endless Forest!"

 Chapter 119: Preparing for the Trials

    Chapter 119: Preparing for the Trials

    "If it was before Ye Yuan tackled the Nine Heavens Road, I had full confidence in killing him. But I don''t have that much confidence in killing the current Ye Yuan even though he can''t defeat me," Su Yishan said with knitted brows.


    Su Yishan had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan. He estimated that his strength was roughly around rank 50 or so on the Martial Roll.


    He naturally would not take to heart this level of strength. But if Ye Yuan was bent on running, he really had no certainty of holding Ye Yuan.


    After all, Ye Yuan would not stand there and wait stupidly for his Heaven Flipping Palm.


    Su Yubai retrieved a pill bottle and passed it to Su Yishan. "This bottle contains Spirit Essence Pills. After you consume then, take these two days to breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. After you reach the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing him shouldn''t be difficult, right?"


    Su Yishan''s eyes shone, and he quickly received the medicinal pills.


    To the top ten geniuses on the Martial Roll, the allure of the Spirit Essence Pill was enormous. This could be seen from Su Yubai and Long Tang''s wager.


    After reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm, the difficulty of breaking through realms would increase tremendously. With Spirit Essence Pills, it would be equivalent to saving a great deal of time for cultivation.


    Some people when they get stuck in the minor realm, it would be half a year gone. At that time, it would not be so easy if they wanted to catch up to others.


    It had already been a while since Long Tang got the Spirit Essence Pill, but he did not use it this whole time. One could see that he viewed the Spirit Essence Pill equally importantly.


    Su Yishan said confidently, "Not difficult. Of course not difficult at all! As long as I breakthrough to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, killing Ye Yuan will be a simple matter!"


    Su Yubai nodded his head. Clearly, he felt that this speech was not exaggerated.


    Su Yishan was the best seedling in the Su Family. Otherwise, he would not be so heavily nurtured. After breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan''s combat prowess would surely advance into the top five!


    Among the top five students on the Martial Roll, only Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. The rest were all at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Su Yishan enjoyed resources far beyond other people. If he could not even get into the top five, then he could forget about his position as the young patriarch.


    Taking care of Ye Yuan was naturally easy for the top five on the Martial Roll.


    "I''ve already asked your father to send out the Chang brothers to cooperate with you to eliminate Ye Yuan! They are currently already concealed inside the Endless Forest. Once the Endless Trials begins, they would target Ye Yuan. At that time, make contact with them, and come up with a foolproof plan. You must kill Ye Yuan! Remember, if you don''t move, then stay low. Once you move, you must kill! You absolutely mustn''t give Ye Yuan any breathing space! Understand?" Su Yubai said in a low voice.


    This was not a discussion anymore, but an order.


    He knew that Su Yishan more or less had a young master''s attitude and might feel it was beneath him to cooperate with those retainers.


    But no matter what, achieving the goal of killing Ye Yuan was the most critical objective among priorities. The others were of no significance, including Su Yishan''s pride.


    . . . . . .


    Long Tang charged out of the sea of fire looking rather ragged.


    However, looking at his eyes right now, it was filled with indescribable luster.


    "So, this is the Nine Heavens Road! Although it''s exceedingly treacherous, it''s also a limitless treasure trove!" Long Tang gasped in admiration.


    Long Tang could not compare to Ye Yuan. The first stage''s concepts to Ye Yuan was simply unqualified to make the cut.


    But to Long Tang, these concept checkpoints were remarkably perilous. But after the dangers, Long Tang managed to grasp some things, letting him reap many benefits.


    Long Tang did not continue rushing. He meditated on the spot to comprehend his harvests just now.


    Long Tang''s strength lied in his perception. Otherwise, what right did he have to seat at the first place of the Martial Roll when he was only at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm?


    In the top five, only Long Tang alone was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. His combat prowess was evident.


    One had to know that there was a minor stage gap between the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Hence, he could also comprehend some things which others were unable to on the Nine Heavens Road. It was just that this way, his clearing speed became exceptionally slow, showing a sharp contrast from Ye Yuan clearing the checkpoints.


    After two days had passed, Long Tang merely made it past the first stage.


    "No way. Isn''t Senior Apprentice Brother Long going to have his face slapped until it swells like a fatty''s like this? It''s already so hard for him to make it past the first stage. What should he do about the later stages?"


    "Sigh. This also can''t be helped. If I were rank one on the Martial Roll with my position being challenged like that by Ye Yuan, I might also come and challenge the Nine Heavens Road too!"


    "Forget it. Looking at Senior Apprentice Brother Long, I reckon that it''s going to be very tough to come down from up there. After all, not everybody can create such miracles like Ye Yuan."


    "En, I think so too. Although Senior Apprentice Brother Long is incredible, everyone unanimously agreed that his degree of monstrousness is inferior to Mo Yuntian. If Senior Apprentice Brother Long had confidence in challenging the Nine Heavens Road, he would have come long ago. Why wait until today?"


    "Sigh, forget it. Let''s leave. It''s going to be the Endless Trials in two days. With Senior Apprentice Brother Long''s speed, I reckon that he won''t make it in time.


    As the Endless Trials approached, many students dispersed from the Nine Heavens Road. The foot of the Nine Heavens Peak promptly became deserted.


    . . . . . .


    One day later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.


    There was still one day before the Endless Trials began. He needed to prepare some things to bring into the Endless Forest.


    Ye Yuan knew that this trip would definitely be very perilous!


    He already offended Su Yubai and Su Yishan thoroughly. They did not dare to make a move within the academy, so they definitely would not let go of the chance called the Endless Trials.


    But this journey to the Endless Forest was imperative for Ye Yuan. He had no choice but to take this risk for Lu-er!


    The medicinal pill Ye Yuan was planning on refining for Lu-er was called the Essence Yang Pill, a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill in the Divine Realm.


    This pill was extremely difficult to refine, and the herbs required were also exceptionally harsh.


    There were three core ingredients in the Essence Yang Pill. All of them were exceedingly rare herbs. Only this sort of dangerous, yet resource-rich place like the Endless Forest would have it.


    Also, Ye Yuan happened to know the location of one of the core ingredients. This core ingredient was precisely the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python inner core!


    That was also because Ye Yuan took note of it back when treating the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python poison for that brawny man, and asked for the whereabouts of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. But he did not expect that it would really come in handy now!


    One might say it was coincidental, but in reality, it was inevitable.


    Ye Yuan was infatuated with the Alchemy Dao in his past life and would naturally be very interested in rare medicinal herbs. This sort of good habit also carried forth till today.


    The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python possessed a divine beast bloodline. Its inner core''s attribute was extreme indomitable yang, perfect for restraining Lu-er''s frost poison.


    And the other two core ingredients were similarly extreme yang plants. One was called Crimson Soul Grass, the other was Pine Yang Fruit.


    Although these two items were hard to find, they were not undetectable. Through Huyan Yong, Ye Yuan already roughly knew the possible locations where these two herbs would appear.


    But the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python had incredible might. It was a middle-rank Tier 2 demonic beast; equivalent to a human second stage Spirit Condensation Realm expert. This was also an extremely thorny problem for Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan still had another objective for going to the Endless Forest, which was to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

 Chapter 120: Who’s Protecting Whom?

    Chapter 120: Who��s Protecting Whom?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Essence Yang Pill was incredibly challenging to refine. Even Ye Hang definitely could not refine it.


    Hence, if he did not break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be entirely useless for Lu-er even if Ye Yuan found these medicinal herbs,


    However, although breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm might be very difficult for other people, it was a simple matter to Ye Yuan this Alchemy Emperor.


    Closed-seclusion for two days, but Ye Yuan''s realm was not fully consolidated yet. Otherwise, he could break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm right now.


    His advancement speed from the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm to the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm was too swift!


    Even though comprehending Heart Like Still Water eliminated the hidden dangers brought about by advancing realms too quickly to the extremity, it would affect future cultivation if not properly consolidated.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to be careless about this.


    To talk about the best way to consolidate cultivation realm, it was undoubtedly to experience numerous fights.


    And what the Endless Forest lacked the least was demonic beasts. Ye Yuan could fight and consolidate his cultivation at the same time.


    One of the preparation work Ye Yuan had to do right now was to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill called Spirit Surge Pill.


    This medicinal pill could increase the probability when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. If it was transcendent-grade, and it could increase the probability to 100%!


    Refining the Spirit Surge Pill with Ye Yuan''s current strength was a breeze!


    Furthermore, other people required half-step Spirit Condensation Realm as a buffer when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. It was entirely unnecessary for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had the past experience of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm. Compressing essence energy to him was an extremely simple matter. Hence, there was completely no need to tread on thin ice like the rest.


    . . . . . .


    After tinkering the whole night in Feng Ruoqing''s pill refinement room, Ye Yuan finally settled everything.


    Ye Yuan saw Feng Ruoqing and Feng Zhirou after leaving the pill refinement room, but not Huyan Yong.


    Feng Ruoqing''s face had thick worry written all over it, making Ye Yuan very curious.


    "What happened, Teacher Feng?"


    "Huyan Yong has been temporarily transferred out by the academy. He headed for a small city at the borders of the State of Qin to take care of business," Feng Ruoqing said.


    Ye Yuan understood in a flash. He smiled and asked, "Is Teacher Feng being transferred out as well?"


    Feng Ruoqing could not help commending Ye Yuan''s nimble mind. She nodded and said, "There''s another batch of students going to take part in the alchemist test tomorrow. It''s still going to be me leading the group this time. Actually, Teacher Huyan was originally preparing to enter the Endless Forest to protect you."


    "Heh heh. What a move to lure the tiger away from its lair. However, if they want my life, they got to have the capability first!" Not only was Ye Yuan undaunted, but he was also raring to go instead.


    Seeing the situation, Feng Ruoqing could not help being concerned. "Ye Yuan, I know that you are very strong. But your current realm is too low. Why not give up the Endless Trials trip this time around? You passed the Nine Heavens Road. Even if you don''t undergo the Endless Trials, they also won''t dare do anything to you."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No way. I can afford to delay, but Lu-er''s condition can''t. Helping her to suppress the frost poison will only last for another month at most. At that time, even if my Master personally came, he would also be unable to save her. Relax. It''s just one Su Yishan. I still couldn''t care less."


    However, Feng Zhirou had a disdainful look right then. "Looking at your supercilious appearance, you''ll suffer a loss sooner or later! Are you still uninformed? Just yesterday, Su Yishan already successfully broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Now, even if I match up with him, I might not gain an advantage over him."


    Ye Yuan had grown accustomed to Feng Ruoqing''s speech manner long ago and did not mind her disparaging remarks in the slightest.


    " Oh, Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? Huum, indeed a little troublesome." Ye Yuan stroked his chin as he said with a frown.


    "Humph! Know fear now? I advise that you better stay in the academy obediently. Otherwise, you won''t even know how you lose your little life!" Feng Zhirou continued to land blows.


    Ye Yuan stared at Feng Ruoqing and suddenly grinned. "Already cultivating the Water Defying Incantation, eh? Not bad of an improvement. Senior Apprentice Sister Feng is talented as expected! I believe that with Senior Apprentice Sister Feng protecting me, there shouldn''t be many issues with this trip, right?"


    Being said like that by Ye Yuan, Feng Zhirou''s pretty face blushed lightly and pouted. "Who wants to protect you? You, a big grown man, still need women to protect you? Aren''t you ashamed?"


    "Oh please, it''s true that I''m a grown man, but I''m also your Junior Apprentice Brother! A senior apprentice sister protecting her junior apprentice brother, isn''t that perfectly justified? Furthermore, you''re number three on the Martial Roll. If you don''t protect me, could it be that I have to protect you?"


    Feng Zhirou wanted to continue arguing but was interrupted by Feng Ruoqing. "Zhirou, during this Endless Trials, both me and Teacher Huyan have been transferred away. Now, only you can protect Ye Yuan. Even if Su Yishan broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he''s unlikely to be your match. As a matter of fact, you also received great kindness from Ye Yuan. Slightly repaying it is also expected, yes?"


    Feng Ruoqing then turned to Ye Yuan. "Zhirou this lass is thin-skinned, so she''s embarrassed to thank you. I''ll say it on her behalf then. The Water Defying Incantation is simply custom-made for Zhirou. These two days, she cultivated day and night, and said that her body''s ailments have been relieved considerably!"


    When Feng Ruoqing said that, Feng Zhirou''s pretty face became an adorable red apple; charmingly alluring.


    "Who wants to thank him? Humph!" Feng Zhirou left like fleeing after saying this.


    "This lass. I really don''t know what to say about her!" Feng Ruoqing sighed.


    "Haha. Junior Apprentice Sister Feng has a genuine personality. It''s just that she''s a little unruly. Let her be." Ye Yuan just laughed it off.


    Feng Ruoqing also did not know which neuron was misfiring. She suddenly opened her mouth to ask, "Ye Yuan, what do you think of Zhirou?"


    "Ah? Pretty good! En? Teacher Feng isn''t matchmaking, right?" Ye Yuan suddenly reacted and retorted with a question.


    Feng Ruoqing''s pretty face was flushed red. "Actually, I feel that you and Zhirou are quite compatible."


    Feng Ruoqing did not know why, but when she said those words, she became dispirited for no reason. She felt empty as if she lost something.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Teacher Feng hasn''t settled your own affairs yet, right? Thinking about finding a groom for your niece already?"


    "I . . . I . . ." Feng Ruoqing panicked and blurted out, "I''m infatuated with Alchemy Dao in this lifetime. I don''t wish to waste time on this."


    Feng Ruoqing already regretted it right after saying it. This was cutting off her route of retreat!


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Don''t randomly be a matchmaker anymore, Teacher Feng. This job isn''t suited for you. Haha."


    Feng Ruoqing flushed again and really kept mum after that.


    This counted as Ye Yuan declining Feng Ruoqing''s good intentions.


    Regarding the matter of finding a Dao Companion, Ye Yuan really had not considered it.


    He was shouldering a deep blood feud. This road in the days to come would be incomparably bumpy. Being his Dao Companion was not so simple. A single misstep and they would die, with their Dao dissipating.


    At that time, wouldn''t Ye Yuan be in even greater agony?


    Just as the two were silent, the entire academy seemed to be in a buzz.


    Ye Yuan involuntarily lifted his head to look and saw a streak of multi-colored road pouring down on the top of the Nine Heavens Peak.


    After several days, the Rainbow Road reappeared!

 Chapter 121: Long Tang Returns!

    Chapter 121: Long Tang Returns!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "En? Is someone challenging the Nine Heavens Road? And they succeeded?"


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw the reappearance of the Rainbow Road.


    Feng Ruoqing also had a stunned look. She also did not expect that Long Tang could really clear the Nine Heavens Road!


    "It''s Long Tang! I didn''t think that he would really succeed!"


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth. "Didn''t everyone say that the Nine Heavens Road is a death zone? Looks like it''s nothing more than this!"


    At any rate, Ye Yuan did not experience overwhelming difficulty. But since other people also successfully cleared it, then the legend of the Nine Heavens Road was somewhat untrue.


    But Feng Ruoqing shook her head and said, "You''re wrong. The Nine Heavens Road is truly difficult to the extreme. Even if I go and challenge it with my current realm, it would be very tough to retreat unscathed. Long Tang being able to clear it can only mean that his potential is enormous!"


    Ye Yuan recalled the terror of that final sword and immediately approved of Feng Ruoqing''s statement.


    He could withstand that sword, but that did not mean that others could also endure that sword. If the array was at full blast, Feng Ruoqing would really perish if she entered it.


    "Alright. The Endless Trials are about to begin. Let''s head over first."


    . . . . . .


    Earth rank and Heaven rank students were already assembled in the central square. The square was densely packed. There were most likely several thousand people.


    Because the strength of Black rank and Yellow rank students were too poor, they were not required to participate in the Endless Trials.


    They would only become cannon fodder if they go anyway.


    The aim of the academy organizing this Endless Trials was to train students, not to send them to die.


    The crowd of students clearly also saw the wondrous view of the Rainbow Road reappearing. Each one of them was struck dumb by shock.


    The legendary Nine Heavens Road was actually cleared consecutively. After the astonishment, it made the thoughts of many who proclaimed themselves geniuses to waver.


    Zuo Bugui looked at that tiny figure on the Nine Heavens Road with indescribable shock.


    "He actually made it through! Could it be that he and I are already no longer of the same world?" Zuo Bugui murmured to himself.


    Zuo Bugui sucked in a deep breath, and could not resist looking for Ye Yuan''s figure among the crowd.


    It was that person who changed Long Tang and made him undergo a transformation.


    Just what kind of magic powers did Ye Yuan have? Why couldn''t he feel it?


    This search really made him see Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan and Feng Ruoqing were chatting and laughing as they made their way over, filling the bystanders with jealousy.


    Zuo Bugui did not mind that. But no matter how he sensed, he could not feel that so-called ''magic power'' on Ye Yuan.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Long is truly talented! He made it past the Nine Heavens Road as expected! He is fully deserving of the number one in the academy!" This was a loyal Long Tang fan.


    "Is your brain rotten? It''s already been four days since Senior Apprentice Brother Long challenged the Nine Heavens Road. Ye Yuan only used the greater part of a day to challenge the Nine Heavens Road. The two of them are simply incomparable, okay? Furthermore, Ye Yuan made it past the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm. His potential is limitless!"


    "So what? In terms of strength, Ye Yuan is far off. Senior Apprentice Brother Long can defeat him with just one hand! Also, as long as one passed the Nine Heavens Road, they would have the status of the high sect''s core disciple."


    "Not going to argue with a brain-dead fan like you. Senior Apprentice Brother Long''s lead is only temporary. Ye Yuan will surpass him before long."


    Ye Yuan and Long Tang, as the number one person of the new and old generation, both also having cleared the Nine Heavens Road, possessed a large group of loyal fans each.


    On the stage of the square, Zhang Songtao was also ecstatic to see Long Tang clear the Nine Heavens Road.


    "Haha . . . truly invigorating! Two geniuses who made it past the Nine Heavens Road actually appeared consecutively in my State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy! We can stand up with our heads high! Let''s see if those bunch of grandsons dare to show off in front of me when I see them in the future!"


    Hu Changsheng also stroked his beard lightly as he said with a smile, "Truly unexpected! Heaven is protecting my State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy. To have two peerless geniuses appear consecutively!"


    Su Yubai had seen Ye Yuan long ago. He snickered coldly while looking at him.


    Wasn''t it just clearing the Nine Heavens Road? What was there to be cocky about?! To actually use the status of the high sect''s core disciple to suppress Your Father!


    Now, Long Tang cleared the Nine Heavens Road as well. Let''s see what you have to be arrogant about!


    Su Yubai already made the decision to rope in Long Tang at all costs.


    This kind of people would definitely become a powerhouse of their generation. With him covering the Su Family, they would be as stable as Mt Tai for the next few centuries!


    And Ye Yuan would surely become a quietly fallen comet after this Endless Trials, becoming a bygone.


    . . . . . .


    Long Tang came.


    The clothes on him already became strips of rags. His aura was also somewhat disorderly, making him appear somewhat ragged. There was a sharp contrast with Ye Yuan calmly clearing the Nine Heavens Road.


    It was obvious from his condition that the Nine Heavens Road was not so fun. Long Tang definitely experienced terrifying attacks on the Nine Heavens Road.


    However, while Long Tang''s aura was disorderly, his entire person was displaying his edge fully; complete polar opposites from his usual self.


    This point was very similar to Ye Yuan.


    "Hahaha! What a fine Long Tang! Truly remarkable! Indeed worthy of being number one on the Martial Roll! The way I see it, your potential is even greater than Mo Yuntian and Ye Yuan!" Su Yubai went up to greet him with a hearty laugh.


    Su Yubai''s words incurred many people''s disgust. They also saw his intention to rope him in, but nobody dared to say anything.


    There was a vast difference between whether Long Tang passed the Nine Heavens Road or not.


    If he made it past the Nine Heavens Road, Long Tang''s future accomplishments would absolutely increase multiple folds.


    If he failed to make it past the Nine Heavens Road, then he would at most be an expert in the State of Qin. It obviously would not be worth it for Su Yubai to pull him in then.


    Long Tang did not show much of a reaction towards Su Yubai''s solicitation. He just bowed slightly and said, "Many thanks for Elder Su''s praise. Long Tang doesn''t deserve this!"


    "Worthy! Worthy! What''s there to be undeserving about? You, Long Tang, have always been the absolute number one in the academy. Now, you even cleared the Nine Heavens Road. Who would dare say that you are undeserving?" Su Yubai said smilingly.


    If it was somebody else, they would more or less have to expound on the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder''s solicitation. But Long Tang shook his head and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo is a senior who already left the Dan Wu Academy. It isn''t good to compare with him. As for Ye Yuan . . . I am vastly inferior to him! If I did not clear the Nine Heavens Road, I could perhaps still numb myself. But now that I''ve experienced it for myself, I know just how gifted Ye Yuan is! This title of number one, Long Tang dare not accept!"


    Following Long Tang''s words, Su Yubai''s face grew increasingly darker.


    Long Tang''s words were undoubtedly giving him, Su Yubai, a slap in front of thousands of people!


    How awkward was this for the lofty Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder?


    But Long Tang ignored Su Yubai''s complexion and circled around Su Yubai to come in front of Zhang Songtao. He was the highest figure hosting this Endless Trials.


    "Dean Zhang, Long Tang came here for two matters. The first is to request not to take part in the Endless Trials this time. Long Tang has just passed the Nine Heavens Road and have some gains. I wish to enter closed-door seclusion for a period of time. I hope that Dean Zhang will allow it."


    Long Tang''s current condition was clearly unsuitable for participating in the Endless Trials. Zhang Songtao naturally would not be so unreasonable. He nodded and said, "En. Enter closed-seclusion and comprehend your gains well. Forget about the Endless Trials. What''s the second matter?"


    "The second matter is to express thanks to a person! Without him, I couldn''t have cleared the Nine Heavens Road!"


    "Oh? There''s such a thing? Who has such capabilities to actually aid you in passing the Nine Heavens Road?" Zhang Songtao exclaimed in surprise.


    Long Tang''s word aroused everybody''s curiosity. But nobody knew the answer except for Zuo Bugui!

 Chapter 122: Destined Battle!

    Chapter 122: Destined Battle!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Long Tang turned around and swept his gaze across the crowd beneath the stage.


    Everyone looked in all directions trying to find the person which Long Tang spoke of.


    "Just who is it? To actually be able to help Senior Apprentice Brother Long pass through the Nine Heavens Road! A Heavenly Dao Oath has to be sworn every time before entering the Nine Heavens Road. Who would divulge information on the Nine Heavens Road?"


    "Who knows? I reckon that Senior Apprentice Brother Long hooked up with some senior apprentice sister? The power of love is the mightiest. It was this conviction supporting him as he charged through the Nine Heavens Road, right?"


    "You don''t say. There might really be that possibility! It''s just who knows which family''s girl have that honor. In my view, only Senior Apprentice Sister Feng can match with Senior Apprentice Brother Long in the entire academy. It''s not her, right?"


    "I won''t believe it even if you beat me to death! Teacher Feng has already been acquired by Ye Yuan. If Senior Apprentice Sister Feng and Senior Apprentice Brother Long become a pair, how will they let us live?!"


    The students started whispering to each other with their rich imagination. Soon, the topic digressed to Feng Ruoqing and her niece.


    Martial artists'' auditory abilities were excellent. Some words were inevitably transmitted into their ears, making Feng Ruoqing blush to the tips of her ears.


    Who knew since when she was already ''acquired'' by Ye Yuan. Even she was unaware of it.


    In front of the public, Feng Ruoqing forever had that ice-cold look.


    Hearing the crowd''s discussion, an intangible killing qi spread out. Except that there were too many people talking. She could not possibly kill them all, right?


    Long Tang swiftly found Ye Yuan in the crowd. He paid attention to Ye Yuan for a very long time already and was naturally familiar with his aura.


    "Thank you, Ye Yuan! Without your guidance, I couldn''t possibly have passed the Nine Heavens Road!" Long Tang extended his heartfelt thanks.


    Long Tang''s words instantly caused an uproar.


    "What? It was actually Ye Yuan? How''s that possible? It seemed like they didn''t even know each other, right?"


    "Yeah! Also, Ye Yuan is only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. What can he teach Senior Apprentice Brother Long? He couldn''t have divulged the secrets of the Nine Heavens Road, right? But Ye Yuan is still living well right now!"


    "It couldn''t be that Senior Apprentice Brother Long cleared it himself like that after watching Ye Yuan challenge the Nine Heavens Road, right? That''s too sinister."


    Everybody felt doubt and bafflement towards Long Tang''s words. Even if Long Tang''s talent was beneath Ye Yuan''s, Ye Yuan''s current strength was still weak. What could he help Long Tang with?


    Furthermore, those familiar with Long Tang knew that he and Ye Yuan were not even acquainted. When did Ye Yuan even help him?


    Su Yubai''s face promptly darkened after hearing Long Tang''s words.


    This Long Tang simply did not know how to appreciate favors. To actually praise Ye Yuan in front of so many people!


    Even if he did not accept the olive branch he cast, did he not know that Ye Yuan and the Su Family were mortal enemies?


    Was each one of them rushing to oppose the Su Family?


    If a tiger did not demonstrate its might, did they really treat me, Su Yubai, like a sick cat?


    You all are geniuses, yes, but a genius who can''t mature will only be a speck of dust in history!


    Who would remember you all?


    Ye Yuan was also mischievously guessing who gave Long Tang pointers just now. Who would have expected Long Tang to actually name him, leaving him somewhat caught unaware.


    "Hey, are you mistaken, Senior Apprentice Brother Long? When have I ever guided you? This is the first time we''ve met ok?" Ye Yuan was rather bewildered.


    Long Tang suddenly beamed, smiling very happily.


    Those familiar with Long Tang knew that he rarely smiled. Today was really without precedent.


    "You''ve said wrongly, Ye Yuan. Today is indeed the first time you''ve met me. But I''ve already seen you many times before. Virtually every time you fought in the academy, I''ve been observing you. All the way until you charged bravely into the Nine Heavens Road. Finally, I was enlightened, and found the path which belongs to me! Hence, even though you don''t know that I''ve changed because of you, I still have to thank you!" Long Tang proclaimed loudly.


    "Oh, so that''s the case. Haha, then congratulations to you. There isn''t a need to thank me. It would be great if you can help me finish off that old fellow behind you." Ye Yuan pointed to Su Yubai behind Long Tang and said with a smile.


    Su Yubai''s face darkened even more severely with Ye Yuan''s words.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually dare to request Long Tang to kill him in front of so many people.


    Utterly preposterous!


    Just keep being smug, brat! I''ve already laid down an inescapable net for you in the Endless Forest. Just go without worry!


    Long Tang did not turn back. He knew who Ye Yuan was pointing to.


    "Hur hur . I''m still not Elder Su''s match right now. I''m afraid I won''t be able to help you fulfill this wish of yours. However, one year is probably a little tight for me. But it should be sufficient for you. It''s still more refreshing to personally do this sort of thing like revenge!"


    The first half of Long Tang''s words sounded like complimenting, but the second half was simply looking down upon Su Yubai!


    And the meaning of his words was actually acknowledging the truth that Ye Yuan was even more talented than him.


    "Long Tang! Do you know the consequences of insulting the academy''s elder?!" Su Yubai was enraged.


    Long Tang''s back faced Su Yubai. He did not plan on responding from the start. Towards Su Yubai''s conduct, Long Tang also despised him greatly, which was why he said those words.


    "Tsk tsk tsk. Elder Su is getting on in years. You''re really quite forgetful. Senior Apprentice Brother Long cleared the Nine Heavens Road, so his status is already equivalent to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciple. His status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect is already higher than yours. So what if he insults you a little?" Ye Yuan derided him.


    "Good! Good! You all want to rebel right? Just wait! Don''t think that you can be carefree after making it through the Nine Heavens Road by luck!" Su Yubai''s flames of wrath could already burn the skies.


    "Better save it, Elder Su. We''re about to take part in the Endless Trials now. You''d better not delay everyone''s time." Ye Yuan completely ignored Su Yubai''s threat.


    Zhang Songtao who was hosting the Endless Trials could no longer watch on. Speaking up, he said, "Alright, alright. Ye Yuan, Long Tang, don''t mess around anymore. Although you two already have the status of the high sect''s core disciple, you are still in the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy, yes? I know that both parties have some grudges, so temporarily put aside this matter. The matter at hand is still to undergo the Endless Trials. Both parties, give me face and stop arguing."


    Zhang Songtao''s words were clearly partial towards Su Yubai. But Ye Yuan was indifferent.


    Either way, Su Yubai''s face was already swept clean by him. He did not suffer a loss.


    Rather, it was Long Tang who seemed like he had not finished talking. He asked Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, although this request is rather abrupt, I still wish to be able to fight with you before heading for the Tranquil Cloud Sect! I wonder what''s your opinion?"


    Even though this was the first time Ye Yuan came into contact with Long Tang, he still had quite a good impression.


    Long Tang was clearly someone who was forthright and determined. A pretty decent opponent!


    Furthermore, Long Tang was rank one on the Martial Roll. Ye Yuan wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm, so Long Tang was in its true sense his first barrier!


    He had to pass it!


    This battle was perhaps destined a long time ago!


    "Alright! Even if Senior Apprentice Brother Long doesn''t come and find me, I would also go and look for you! This battle, I will definitely go!" Ye Yuan said heroically.

 Chapter 123: Utterly Shameless

    Chapter 123: Utterly Shameless


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Team up with me, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng. My Seven Star Sword Art is already trained to the great success stage. I won''t drag you down!"


    "Why not we go together, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? If we encounter high tier demonic beasts, I will sacrifice my life to let you escape!"


    "Together, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? All the treasures our team gets will belong to you. I only want the items the mission requires."


    After the rather unpleasant assembly ended, the majority of the teams left the Dan Wu Academy.


    Along the way, many powerful and outstanding young men gathered in front of Feng Zhirou, hoping to team up with her.


    Feng Zhirou''s charm was truly not fake. Just in this short while, there were already no less than ten male students who requested to team with her. And their strengths were all at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above.


    One had to acknowledge that Feng Zhirou''s cold and icy appearance could greatly stimulate men''s desire to conquer.


    The colder she was to these male students, the more stimulated these males rushed up to her.


    Even when Feng Zhirou rejected those male students, they still circled around not far from her.


    Ye Yuan kept following neither too far away nor too near. But now, he joined in, asking with a smile, "Why not take me, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng? You see, my strength is meager. The two of us teaming up can fully display your unparalleled majesty!"


    Everyone shot a scornful look at Ye Yuan.


    Your strength is meager? Your combat prowess can already rank in the top 50 of the Martial Roll!


    Can bullshit even reach such a level?


    Furthermore, don''t women all wish to be protected by men? Your kind of degrading request for protection will surely be despised by Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!


    Speaking of which, this was already not the first time Ye Yuan hid behind a woman''s back. The previous time Su Yubai ambushed, didn''t Ye Yuan also hide behind Teacher Feng?


    Could Ye Yuan be a typical case of bullying the weak but fearing the strong?


    How could Senior Apprentice Sister Feng possibly like such a man?


    Moreover, who in the academy currently was unaware that Ye Yuan already picked up Teacher Feng now? Now, he even came to tease Feng Zhirou. Could it be that he wanted to simultaneously collect aunt and niece?


    Did he not want to retain his face?


    Even if Senior Apprentice Sister could not find any man, it was also impossible to share a husband with her own aunt, right?


    Right at this moment, Feng Zhirou suddenly stopped and turned around to stare icily at Ye Yuan.


    A bone-chilling intent spread out.


    Just when everyone thought that Feng Zhirou was about to explode, she spat out four words coldly, "Make way in front!"


    Everybody fell to the ground.


    Just what in the world happened? This world is too insane!


    Senior Apprentice Sister Feng actually agreed!


    Could it be that Senior Apprentice Sister Feng was a thorough cold elder sister who enjoyed this sort of play?


    If they knew earlier, they would also have pretended to have a pitiful appearance to satisfy Senior Apprentice Sister Feng''s protective desires!


    "Haha! Heard that? Senior Apprentice Sister Feng has already agreed to pair up with me. Everyone, stop circling around her already! You all are also aware that once Senior Apprentice Sister Feng flares up, ordinary people can''t take it. Better not find trouble for yourselves. If you are hurt because of this, don''t blame me for not warning you all!" Ye Yuan told everyone with a smile.


    Finishing, Ye Yuan really led the way to open up the path.


    There were naturally some who still refused to give up. In the end, after Feng Zhirou drew her sword and nearly sliced off an ear, did everyone leave unwillingly.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou already arrived at the borders of the Endless Forest.


    The Endless Forest was filled with dangers. Hence, when students underwent the Endless Trials, they frequently entered in threes or in pairs.


    The duration of the Endless Trials was half a month. The mission for Heaven rank students was to submit ten Tier 2 demonic beast''s inner cores and ten stalks of Tier 2 medicinal herbs.


    This mission did not seem hard to complete. They just had to kill ten Tier 2 demonic beasts, harvest ten stalks of medicinal herbs, and that was it. But in fact, it was not so simple.


    The strength of the demonic beasts tended to be immensely powerful, often a level greater than the strength of martial artists of the same level. Furthermore, many demonic beasts lived in groups. Once they get caught, it was virtually impossible to survive.


    Also, some medicinal herbs often had its accompanying beast to guard it. One could suffer the attack of a demonic beast at any time while harvesting herbs.


    Hence, forming teams to complete the mission was obviously the best option.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, aren''t you tired at all of showing that icy face all day?" Seeing nobody around, Ye Yuan turned towards Feng Zhirou.


    "None of your business! I want to!" Feng Zhirou snapped.


    Although she still maintained that frosty look, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like throwing a tantrum. It was entirely different from that kind of distancing people a thousand miles away sort of iciness just now.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "You got to marry eventually, gorgeous. How are you going to find your Mr. Right like this?"


    Feng Zhirou said, "All of you stinky men, every one of you just thinks about dirty stuff. None of you are good. Why do I have to show a good attitude to you all?"


    "You''re overturning an entire ship of people with one blow! Let''s not talk about whether men are good or not first. This Dao of Men and Woman is a natural Great Dao. A gentleman pursues a fair maiden. There''s nothing inappropriate about this, right?"


    "I also didn''t say that I can''t find a Dao companion, what are you anxious about? Don''t tell me that you are so anxious because you fell for this young lady like those stinky men?"


    Feng Zhirou''s words unconsciously detached Ye Yuan away from the rest. Most likely, even she did not realize it herself.


    Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister might be beautiful, but I''d better keep a respectful distance away from that personality of drawing your sword at the slightest provocation! I don''t wish to find a Dao companion who might just stab me one day. That would be such an unjust death!"


    Feng Zhirou gnashed her teeth and said, "You''re so vapid. Do you have to keep harping on that one thing forever?"


    Just like Feng Ruoqing, Feng Zhirou had always been rather confident in her own charm. But in front of Ye Yuan, she had never found that sort of superiority.


    Not only did Ye Yuan not humor her and indulge her like the other students, but he also avoided her like the plague.


    Feng Zhirou had never experienced this sort of frustration before.


    Moreover, she could sense that Ye Yuan''s words just now was not deliberately weighed out. But rather, he really did not want to have any association with herself.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had never schemed after anything of hers. In fact, he helped her and her aunt a lot.


    Feng Zhirou was prideful and haughty. All she thought about was pursuing the extremities of the Martial Dao. If she could no longer advance in this lifetime, it would be even worse than killing her.


    Not only did Ye Yuan notice the problem with her body, he even gave her a cultivation law. This cultivation law named Water Defying Incantation was simply custom-made for her.


    Feng Zhirou advanced at a tremendous pace when training this cultivation law.


    Without any accidents, she only required three months to catch up to her former cultivation law''s progress.


    Although Feng Zhirou never expressed anything towards this, she was actually still very grateful to Ye Yuan in her heart.


    Ye Yuan involuntarily laughed when he saw her look. "Haha. Fine, fine. Actually, it''s not that I''m anxious about your affairs, but it''s Teacher Feng who is more concerned."


    Feng Zhirou asked doubtfully, "My aunt? What''s the matter?"


    Ye Yuan repeated what Feng Ruoqing said in the morning and said smilingly, "Your aunt is also really strange. She''s clearly still a young lass, yet she''s worried about your matters."


    Hearing this incident, Feng Zhirou surprisingly did not express any opinion. Instead, she pulled a long face and said, "Quickly go. Continue to open up the path!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Open what path? We can just openly walk in."


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan fished out two medicinal pills and handed Feng Zhirou one.

 Chapter 124: Breath Concealing Pill

    Chapter 124: Breath Concealing Pill


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Feng Zhirou looked at the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hands. A stinky odor wafted over. She could not resist pinching her nose and pushing away Ye Yuan''s hand, asking with a frown, "What medicinal pill is this? So smelly!"


    "Tier 2 Breath Concealing Pill! Tier 3 demonic beasts and below will be incapable of detecting our aura. This will save us a lot of trouble," Ye Yuan explained.


    Feng Zhirou shook her head repeatedly and said, "I don''t want to, stinks to death! Eat it yourself if you want to!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not insist on it. He swallowed one and kept the other one away.


    Right now, the two had already entered the boundaries of the Endless Forest and did not stop for long. They headed straight into the deeper areas.


    "Hey, what place are we going to?" Feng Zhirou asked from behind.


    "Going to the Crimson Summit Ridge first," Ye Yuan answered without even turning back.


    "Crimson Summit Ridge?! Are you mad? That''s the habitat of the Long-arm Stone Ape. There''s at least tens of thousands of Long-arm Stone Apes. There might even be a Tier 3 Ape King. Are you going to seek death?" Feng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.


    Long-arm Stone Ape was a Tier 2 demonic beast. Once surrounded by a group of Long-arm Stone Apes, it would virtually be a certain death scenario.


    "Go if you want to. I also didn''t make you come along! Earlier, it was just to help you out of your situation. Do you really think I''m counting on you to protect me?" Ye Yuan did not spare any face for Feng Zhirou.


    Feng Zhirou flew into a rage when she heard this. "Ye Yuan! Who do you think you are? Just your puny bit of strength isn''t even fit to carry shoes for this young lady. Isn''t it just a one-way route to hell if you go to the Crimson Summit Ridge?"


    "Gorgeous, don''t flatter yourself. I don''t want to carry shoes for you. Also, just because you''re strong, it doesn''t mean that you''ll definitely be fine. My strength is not as great as yours, but I also won''t do something just to die in vain. Understood?"


    "You! I''m not going anymore! I want to see just how you''re going to come out from the Crimson Summit Ridge!" Feng Zhirou stomped her feet angrily and then stopped.


    Ye Yuan still did not turn his head back. He kept moving forward with gusto without the slightest intention of stopping.


    Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan had mingled for some time already. They more or less understood a little of the other party''s temper and personality.


    Regardless whether it was the great life and death battle with Lin Tiancheng or challenging the Nine Heavens Road later on, Ye Yuan never did anything he was not confident in.


    And even though this Ye Yuan''s strength was not great, his various means were inexhaustible. She had never seen him suffer a loss.


    Not that she had never seen Ye Yuan be at a disadvantage before. The only time she saw it seemed to be from her hands. That one sword nearly cost him his life.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s figure about to disappear from her line of sight, Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and displayed her movement technique to catch up.


    "This fellow completely doesn''t know to give in to girls a little. Such a blockhead! Maddening this princess to death!" Feng Zhirou said huffily.


    Ye Yuan''s pace was not quick. In a blink of an eye, Feng Zhirou caught up.


    Without waiting for Ye Yuan to speak, Feng Zhirou said irately, "Don''t think too much into it, Ye Yuan! I just don''t want to be scolded by Aunty when I get back, that''s why I''m continuing to protect you! If you die in the Endless Forest, she will definitely not spare me when I return."


    Ye Yuan''s back faced Feng Zhirou as he simply smiled and kept mum.


    If he could, Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to go to Crimson Summit Ridge either. But one of the core ingredients of the Essence Yang Pill, Crimson Soul Grass, just happened to be growing in the habitat of the Long-arm Stone Apes. He had no choice but to go!


    The Long-arm Stone Ape was a demonic social beast. Furthermore, their strength was very great! Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists did not dare to freely intrude. No wonder Feng Zhirou''s reaction was so big.


    . . . . . .


    After four hours, inside a dense forest, a faint blue pretty figure suddenly swung a sword and killed a demonic beast opposite her.


    The pretty figure landed on the ground panting daintily and her fragrant sweat dripping.


    This was already the third Tier 2 demonic beast that Feng Zhirou killed!


    Apart from these Tier 2 beasts, she even killed no less than ten Tier 1 demonic beasts.


    After killing so demonic beasts, Feng Zhirou''s essence energy consumption was naturally enormous.


    While at the side, Ye Yuan remained composed as he looked at Feng Zhirou who was dripping fragrant sweat without the slightest intention to come over and help.


    "Do you still have humanity, Ye Yuan? I came to help you, but you''ve been standing idly by all this while!" Feng Zhirou currently wished that she could split Ye Yuan with one sword.


    As for Feng Zhirou''s sword, Ye Yuan was not too concerned.


    Although he was not Feng Zhirou''s match at the moment, it was no longer possible for Feng Zhirou to try and kill him with a sword like last time.


    "My great missus, it''s you who are noble and refused to eat the Breath Concealing Pill. Now, you are blaming me for attracting demonic beasts? I have a lot of places I want to go, how would I have the energy to keep wasting time along the way like this? Let''s not talk about whether you will encounter powerful demonic beasts if you slaughter your way over or not, just the exhaustion will wear you out dead tired." Ye Yuan said grumpily.


    The Endless Forest was infinitely vast. The distance to the Crimson Summit Ridge from the borders was a thousand miles. To human martial artists, it was already a very deep place.


    Even though Ye Yuan had a map of the outer regions of the Endless Forest and could do a detour to avoid some danger zones, it would take too much time.


    He could afford to dawdle, but Lu-er could not!


    So he could only walk in a straight line!


    Consuming the Breath Concealing Pill could minimize trouble to the limits. Yet Feng Zhirou refused to eat it.


    Ye Yuan also knew Feng Zhirou''s temper. Advising her was useless. Only by letting her suffer some hardship would she change her mind.


    Indeed, now that Ye Yuan said that, Feng Zhirou suddenly had a revelation.


    No wonder along the way, demonic beasts did not attack Ye Yuan and just pounced towards her vigorously as if they did not see Ye Yuan. So this was actually the reason!


    Feng Zhirou knew Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards, so she naturally would not doubt his medicinal pills.


    It was just whenever she thought of that unbearable stench, Feng Zhirou would just shrink back.


    Seeing Feng Zhirou''s expression change several times, Ye Yuan fished out that medicinal pill again and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, if you plan on following me forward, just swallow this medicinal pill in one breath. Otherwise, we can only part here. You''re also aware that I came to the Endless Forest this time because of important matters. Time is very precious. If we continue like this, you will only become my burden!"


    Although she really did not want to admit it, it was just as Ye Yuan said. She would only become Ye Yuan''s burden if this continued.


    Feng Zhirou was extremely competitive. She could not accept the fact of becoming a baggage that needed to be carried around.


    Thinking up to here, Feng Zhirou reached out to snatch the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hand, and swallowed it with her eyes shut,


    The pill entered her mouth, and Feng Zhirou realized that it was not as nasty as she imagined it to be. In fact, it carried a faint trace of fragrance in the mouth which overflowed her entire body!


    Looking at that smile of Ye Yuan''s like his scheme had succeeded, Feng Zhirou temper flared up out of nowhere.


    She pointed her sword at Ye Yuan and said furiously, "Did you make fun of me on purpose? I''ll kill you!"


    Ye Yuan hurried dodged and laughed out loud. "My great missus, can you be reasonable? Do you think that if I tell you right from the start, you would believe it?"


    Hearing that, Feng Zhirou was stunned. What Ye Yuan said was really true.


    Each person knew their temper the best. Even if Ye Yuan explained just how delicious that medicinal pill was from the beginning, there was no way she would have consumed it!

    Chapter 125: Obtaining Goodwall Flower Using Wit!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Feng Zhirou consumed the Breath Concealing Pill. There was no harassment from demonic beasts along the way, so the pair''s advancement speed increased significantly.


    After half a day, the two people walked almost half of the journey. But Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.


    "Why aren''t you walking?" Feng Zhirou asked.


    "There''s good stuff!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan pranced forth and arrived in front of a cave. Feng Zhirou was also very curious as she tagged along.


    Feng Zhirou was about to ask again when Ye Yuan gestured with his hand to keep silent. He transmitted his voice, "There should be a type of herb in this cave called the Goodwall Flower. However, this flower tends to have Iron-Paw Flying Bears guarding it."


    Feng Zhirou asked puzzledly, "Why do you know again?" 1


    "Some precious herbs not only have associated beasts but also have associated plants. This stretch of blue sandalwood forest is the Goodwall Flower''s accompanying plant. The blue sandalwood can secrete a type of liquid into the soil, and this liquid is precisely the Goodwall Flower''s nourishment!" Ye Yuan explained.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s explanation, Feng Zhirou was dumbstruck.


    She felt that Ye Yuan was simply omniscient and omnipotent. Just merely passing by a stretch of blue sandalwood forest and he actually discovered the highly rare Goodwall Flower.


    As an alchemist, Feng Zhirou naturally heard of the Goodwall Flower. It was a very rare Tier 2 medicinal herb.


    Except that the Herbal Essentials did not describe the Goodwall Flower in detail. Clearly, the author Li Shizhen himself was unclear of the source and use of this flower. 2


    Something which an Alchemy Sovereign did not even understand, yet Ye Yuan could enumerate it like his family''s treasures. Just what kind of heaven-defying existence was that teacher behind him?!


    Ignoring that teacher, Ye Yuan himself was only 15 years old. What kind of genius could learn so many things when they were 15?


    However, Feng Zhirou would only keep her astonishment a secret. Her mouth was condescending, and she said, "You know a lot huh?! In a while, if we can''t find these Goodwall Flowers, let''s see what you have to say."


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not clarify. He transmitted his voice to her, "Later, you lure the Iron-Paw Flying Bear away. I''ll go and retrieve the herb."


    Feng Zhirou immediately frowned heavily when she heard that and even forget to transmit her voice as she responded indignantly, "Are you mistaken, Ye Yuan? You are a grown man yet you keep making women do dangerous things! Go if you want, I''m not going!"


    Ye Yuan gave an innocent look and said, "You came to protect me, Senior Apprentice Sister. Can you bear to watch me go and die? An Iron Paw Flying Bear is a Tier 2 demonic beasts with high speed and great strength. If I go, it''s equal to casting away my life!"


    "I don''t care. Either way, I''m not going!" Feng Zhirou''s willfulness acted up.


    "Roar!"


    Right then, a huge roar sounded out. The pair''s arguing sounds startled the Iron Paw Flying bear inside the cave!


    A colossal figure gradually appeared from the pitch black cave with a body full of fur. It was precisely an adult Iron Paw Flying Bear.


    "Damn, we alerted the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Quickly run!" Feng Zhirou shrieked and turned around to run away.


    After running a few steps, Feng Zhirou suddenly realized that something was wrong. Turning back, she found out that Ye Yuan did not even move!


    "What are you standing stupidly there for, Ye Yuan? Quickly run! We aren''t a match for the Iron Paw Flying Bear!" Feng Zhirou yelled.


    Iron Paw Flying Bears had very explosive tempers. Seeing Ye Yuan stand there without moving at all, it swiftly locked onto him.


    Whoosh!


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear roared again and pounced at Ye Yuan with lightning speed.


    But Ye Yuan remained motionless right there like he was scared silly.


    Feng Zhirou did not expect that this sort of situation would occur. The Iron Paw Flying Bear''s attack power was very strong. If its palm landed fully, how could Ye Yuan survive?


    Although Feng Zhirou liked to bicker with Ye Yuan, it did not mean that she could really watch Ye Yuan die like that.


    In a blink of an eye, the Iron Paw Flying Bear already crossed several dozen meters. That titanic bear paw already smacked down towards Ye Yuan.


    Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and shot towards Ye Yuan with her movement technique at full blast.


    Ding!


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear and Feng Zhirou''s sword had intimate contact and actually released intense metal scratching sounds with sparks!


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear''s bear paw was brushed away, but Feng Zhirou retreated several steps in succession. A surge of blood swelled in her chest.


    The name of Iron Paw of the Iron Paw Flying Bear was well-deserved. The strength of a pair of bear paws was actually comparable to magic artifacts!


    Feng Zhirou''s sword was naturally a rare high-rank magic artifact. But it was actually unable to leave any injury on the bear paw!


    Right then, Ye Yuan turned around to look at Feng Zhirou. He smiled and said, "Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Feng for saving me. Since you''re already matched up, then I''ll have to trouble you to lure it away."


    "You! You actually made use of me!" Feng Zhirou was exasperated. Only now did she react to being tricked by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not unable to evade, but he deliberately did not dodge just to wait for her to come back and save him.


    Now was clearly not the time to chat. The Iron Paw Flying Bear already arrived in front of their eyes. Wanting to run away now was useless.


    Since it was named Iron Paw Flying Bear, it could be seen that it was big but not clumsy. It had extremely swift movements.


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear seemed to be enraged. It howled again but disregarded Ye Yuan and pounced towards Feng Zhirou.


    Feng Zhirou swept a cold glance at Ye Yuan and said, "I''ll settle the score with you later! Humph!"


    Finishing, Feng Zhirou carried her sword and turned around, speeding out far away.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and yelled at Feng Zhirou''s back, "Be careful, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!"


    After that, Ye Yuan walked over to the cave without hurrying at all.


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear had an enormous build. The cave it chose was naturally very spacious.


    The cave was not deep. Ye Yuan entered the cave and quickly found the Goodwall Flower. In fact, there were a total of several hundred stalks!


    "Haha! With these Goodwall Flowers, I can nurture at least several hundred Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses! Such luxury!" Ye Yuan also did not expect that this cave had so many Goodwall Flowers inside.


    The reason why Ye Yuan was unwilling to give up on these Goodwall Flowers was primarily because of the promise he made to Huyan Yong previously.


    Back then, Feng Ruoqing guessed some parts. But she did not think that Ye Yuan could honor that promise so quickly.


    The big gift Ye Yuan wanted to give Huyan Yong back then was to help him enter the Crystal Formation Realm!


    Do not look at how Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was just that teeny bit away from Crystal Formation Realm. That little bit was so near, yet poles apart!


    To the vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, the end point of their martial path was the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm was absolutely like a thousand man army and ten thousand horses crossing a single log bridge. It was extremely difficult!


    One had to know that it had already been over a dozen years since Su Yubai was stuck at half-step Crystal Formation Realm. Yet, he was unable to take that step. The difficulty of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm could be imagined.


    According to Ye Yuan''s observations, Huyan Yong had the hope of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm. It was just hard to determine the time.


    With his help, Huyan Yong could shorten this step by at least 30 years!


    Ye Yuan would naturally be using medicinal pills to aid Huyan Yong. The medicinal pill to help martial artists breakthrough into the Crystal Formation Realm was called the Crystal Formation Pill. An ordinary high-grade Crystal Formation Pill could increase the success rate of condensing crystal by 30%!


    With Ye Yuan''s standards, as long as he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, it would naturally be not just that!


    And a Goodwall Flower was one of the core ingredients for the Crystal Formation Pill! With these Crystal Formation Pills, Ye Yuan could even create an army of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!


    Such a force could virtually sweep across the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations!

 Chapter 126: Are You for Real?

    Chapter 126: Are You for Real?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Placing these Goodwall Flowers inside his storage ring, Ye Yuan continued to search the deeper parts of the cave.


    As an alchemist, Ye Yuan was very familiar with the living habits of all sorts of demonic beasts.


    The Iron Paw Flying Bear was not just the accompanying beast for the Goodwall Flower. It also retained some habits of bears, for example, their love for eating honey!


    Some honey was extremely precious. Ye Yuan just wanted to try his luck by going in.


    This cave was very tidy. Clearly, that Iron Paw Flying Bear cherished this place greatly.


    Before long, Ye Yuan saw a stone mound. The stone mound was slightly larger than that Iron Paw Flying Bear. It was clear that this was where it rested.


    Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings and went over to examine a lump of honey and could not help being thrilled.


    "It''s actually Silver Sword Bee honey, and there''s so much! I really struck gold! Looks like that big stupid bear couldn''t bear to eat it and hoarded it here. Didn''t think that I would profit from this. Heh heh, with this thing, I can also justify to Feng Zhirou that lass later. Otherwise, she would definitely split me in half."


    Silver Sword Bee was similarly a Tier 2 demonic beasts. Furthermore, its attack power was very strong, and its sting was highly toxic. The average person dared not approach it.


    Looks like that stupid great bear''s skin is really thick. To actually finish off a Silver Sword Bee''s beehive. Truly impressive!


    Silver Sword Bee''s honey was extremely hard to come by. The effects of just directly consuming it was not inferior to a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill!


    After Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, his cultivation would similarly require large quantities of medicinal pills.


    The medicinal pill commonly used in the Endless World when cultivating at the Spirit Condensation Realm was called Essence Drop Pill. Ye Yuan obviously would not use such a low-level medicinal pill. He was prepared to refine a medicinal pill called Jade Water Pill. Its effect was more than a level stronger than the Essence Drop Pill.


    And the Silver Sword Bee''s honey was precisely one of the core ingredients to refine the Jade Water Pill!


    The medicinal pill that could be refined from so much Silver Sword Bee honey was roughly enough to let Ye Yuan breakthrough to the Fourth or Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    And the Silver Sword Bee honey had another use, which was whitening and beautifying!


    With Ye Yuan''s methods, after refining several Beauty Retaining Pills to bribe Feng Zhirou, that lass most likely would not find trouble with him anymore.


    Which woman did not wish to be forever young?


    After collecting finish these Silver Sword Bee honey, Ye Yuan did not stay on and prepared to leave the cave straight away.


    If Feng Zhirou could not hold on and that great stupid bear came back early trapping him inside, that would not be good.


    Ye Yuan swiftly went to the cave entrance and was just about to exit the cave when a premonition suddenly struck!


    Four streaks of cold light came from four different directions, sneak attacking Ye Yuan directly!


    The strength of these four people were all at the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The four light beams virtually locked down Ye Yuan from all angles for the purpose of taking his life!


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, Ye Yuan had no time to think too much, and could not be bothered with his image. He directly dropped and rolled inside the cave, barely evading these four attacks!


    Even so, a blade still struck Ye Yuan''s calf.


    "Big Brother, turns out it''s just a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm brat. Made us wait so seriously."


    "Don''t underestimate this brat. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm could actually dodge our ambush. His strength can''t be downplay."


    "What are you scared of him for? We, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, are Spirit Condensation Realm experts. You''re even at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, Big Brother. This brat also has the exit blocked by us. Don''t tell me he can fly away?"


    The ambushers did not continue the pursuit but blocked the exit, sealing off the only way out.


    Ye Yuan crawled up from the ground and felt a burning pain in his calf.


    Ye Yuan was familiar with poison and knew that the blade was coated with poison. He involuntarily frowned and fished out a Detoxification Pill he refined from his storage ring and ate it. Only then did it suppress the toxin.


    The Southern Ridge Four Heroes saw Ye Yuan''s actions but did not stop him. They just looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    One of them said, "It''s useless, brat. This toxin was something we, Southern Ridge Four Heroes, begged from the Five Poison Immortal. Even if Tier 2 demonic beasts were struck by it, it would die from the poison half a day later, let alone a puny Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm like you. Ordinary detoxification pills completely can''t resolve this poison."


    Ye Yuan ignored him, faced the boss-like martial artist, and answered with a question, "You guys are demonic beast hunters?"


    Seeing how these few people''s equipments were shabby and their age was rather old, they were clearly not the Dan Wu Academy''s students. So that just left demonic beast hunters.


    This place was roughly five hundred miles away from the boundaries, precisely the place where Spirit Condensation Realm demonic beast hunters frequent.


    In the Endless trials, not only would one suffer attacks from students and demonic beasts, demonic beast hunters were likewise a source of danger!


    They originally worked with their lives on the edge of a blade while the students in the Dan Wu Academy were all proud children of heaven who enjoy countless cultivation resources.


    Under this comparison, there were naturally many demonic beast hunters who felt unfair. And among them, a percentage of them would choose to lay hands on students!


    In past Endless Trials, the number of students who died at the hands of demonic beast hunters was not small.


    "That''s right! If I guessed correctly, you should be a student from the Dan Wu Academy, right? Looks like it''s the time for the Dan Wu Academy''s Endless Trials once again," the boss said.


    "Why did you guys ambush me?" Ye Yuan asked again.


    The boss sniggered and pointed to where the Goodwall Flowers originally were and said, "Naturally for the precious herbs on you! This place should have many medicinal herbs, right? Looks like it was taken by you. Hand it over, and we will give you a painless end."


    Hearing the boss''s words, Ye Yuan could not resist laughing. "You guys won''t even let me off if I hand over the herbs?"


    "Heh, sorry! Who asked you to be from the Dan Wu Academy? If I let you off after you exit the Endless Forest, how will we, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, survive?"


    "Then what are you bullshitting for? Just directly make a move to snatch it and be done with it," Ye Yuan said sullenly.


    That boss chortled. He continued talking with an attitude like everything was within his grasp. "Talking naturally has its purpose. Do you know what poison we smeared on the blade? This poison is called Hundred Breath Collapse. That''s to say that within a hundred breaths, the poison will flare up and you''ll have no way of resisting, and definitely die within half a day! From when you were poisoned till now, it''s been almost 90 breaths. Ten, nine, eight . . . one, down!"


    This Hundred Breath Collapse proved effective every time the Southern Ridge Four Heroes used it. Even if a gargantuan build demonic beast were inflicted by this toxin, it would also collapse onto the ground within a hundred breaths.


    Ye Yuan was only a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. He naturally could not escape this end.


    But when he counted finish the ten breaths and said the word ''down,'' Ye Yuan remained standing there without any intention of collapsing.


    "Eh? Did I count wrong? There''s still several breaths of time?" Boss said in bewilderment when he saw the situation.


    Ye Yuan looked at this Southern Ridge Four Heroes'' boss and could not resist sighing. "Are you for real? Playing poison with this Little Lord, you are still a little too unskilled! When this Little Lord was playing with poison, I''m afraid your grandfather wasn''t even born yet!"

    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Although the Detoxification Pill Ye Yuan refined was only Tier 2, the composition of the medicinal pill was completely different from what Ye Hang refined.


    Consuming the Detoxification pill and facing these Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists from the State of Qin, Ye Yuan could be said to be invulnerable to all poison!


    If several Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could inflict poison with a Detoxification Pill refined by an exalted Alchemy Emperor, then it would truly be a joke.


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, the face of the boss of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes swiftly fell.


    A teenage youth talking about his grandfather not being born yet to his face, these words had indescribable oddness.


    Could it be that this brat was an old monster who just maintained this face using youth retaining techniques?


    The boss quickly denied this thought. Being admitted into the Dan Wu Academy, one had to undergo a bone age test. If this brat was really an old monster, there was no way he could have entered the Dan Wu Academy.


    And Ye Yuan was clearly just Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Which old monster''s strength was this lousy?


    Hence, the boss''s final conclusion was that Ye Yuan was purely diverting him!


    "Heh heh, your Detoxification Pill is a treasure. Even Hundred Breaths Collapse was useless to you. But do you think that with your power alone, you can escape from the four of us?" The boss sneered coldly.


    Ye Yuan did not panic the slightest bit. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Southern Ridge Dead Dogs, right? You all can come and try."


    Finishing, an azure tasseled sword suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand with an intimidating chilling qi.


    It was precisely the Canghua Sword!


    The instant the Canghua Sword appeared, the powerful aura unique to spirit artifacts swiftly enveloped the Southern Ridge Four Heroes.


    Demonic beast hunters were people with vast experiences and knowledge. Once the Canghua sword showed itself, they felt its distinctiveness.


    "Spirit artifact! It must be a spirit artifact! Precious artifacts and magic artifacts definitely don''t have this sort of undulations!" the Southern Ridge Boss exclaimed in shock, and his eyes instantly showed incomparable greed.


    Being reminded by the Southern Ridge Boss, the other three people immediately also reacted. Their gaze similarly revealed that extremely greedy look.


    "Hahahaha . . . To think that I, Chen Jieqiu, can actually own a spirit artifact. It''s truly heaven''s blessings! Brat, didn''t your family''s elders teach you the principle of not revealing valuables? Since you flashed out a spirit artifact, then I won''t stand on ceremony and just accept it!"


    The Southern Ridge Boss laughed maniacally.


    Right now, Chen Jieqiu was so agitated that he was shaking a little. This was a spirit artifact!


    Even in his dreams, he did not think that he could actually possess a spirit artifact in this lifetime!


    Chen Jieqiu already started to picture the scene of wielding the Canghua Sword and slaughtering in four directions. Just imagining it made one excited.


    Ye Yuan looked at Chen Jieqiu, and with a smile that was obviously not sincere he said, "Is that so? But there''s only one spirit artifact, yet there are four of you. How do you plan on distributing it?"


    Once Ye Yuan''s words came out, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes'' face changed.


    "Humph! Trying to sow discord between us four brothers, you''re still too inexperienced, brat! Regarding the allocation, us brothers will naturally take our time to discuss it after killing you. No need for you to worry."


    Chen Jieqiu had toughened himself after so many years in the pugilist world and quickly reacted to Ye Yuan''s intentions, and he tried to use words to calm his own brothers.


    But now that Ye Yuan said that, Chen Jieqiu also quietly planned out how to settle the ownership of this spirit artifact.


    After snatching over the spirit artifact, he would find a chance to finish off the other three people. This sword would belong to him alone!


    Whatever Southern Ridge Four Heroes, whatever brotherhood runs deep, they were all nothing in front of a spirit artifact!


    The martial arts world was where the strong prey on the weak. Only making one stronger was the absolute truth. Chen Jieqiu braved all kinds of dangers for so many years. How could he be unaware of this principle?


    "Really? But I saw your look when you were talking just now, and it doesn''t seem like you want to share with your brothers. You aren''t thinking about pacifying your brothers first, and then killing them after snatching the spirit artifact to keep it all to yourself, right? Don''t get agitated. I was just guessing. Hur hur." Ye Yuan beamed widely with squinted eyes.


    Having his inner thoughts seen through, Chen Jieqiu could not help becoming furious. "You are seeking death, brat! Us brothers have braved through fire and water for so many years. Our feelings are as solid as metal. Do you think that just by sowing a bit of dissent, we''ll fall for it? Brothers, kill this brat first!"


    "Ai-ya-ya, becoming angry from shame? You say that your feelings are as tough as metal. Do you dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?"


    "What''s there to be afraid of? However, kill you first before talking! Old Second, Old Third, Old Fourth, what are you standing there stupidly for? Don''t tell me our relationship can''t even stand up to a few sentences from this punk?" Chen Jieqiu gave a pained expression.


    The other three people exchanged glances but did not make a move for a long time. Clearly, Ye Yuan''s words took effect.


    "Heh heh, it''s not that your feelings aren''t deep, it''s the benefits which are too substantial! The allure of spirit artifacts is too great. Who can resist it? The way I see it, the few of you are vicious and ruthless people. Your relationship was good last time because there wasn''t the temptation of enormous benefits. But now, there''s a spirit artifact that appeared in front of you all. None of you can remain calm, right? The few of you aren''t his match in the first place. Once he gets the spirit artifact, can you all still survive?" Ye Yuan said it calmly.


    Ye Yuan''s words made the other three people''s expression change once more. No matter how good a spirit artifact was, it was not as good as one''s life.


    These Southern Ridge Four Heroes were originally infamous among demonic beast hunters. Each of them was ruthlessly cruel and cunning like foxes.


    To say that the four of them were demonic beast hunters, one might as well say that they were hunters of hunters. They frequently moved against other demonic beast hunters, incurring the wrath of both heaven and men.


    But these four people''s strength was also very great, resulting in nobody dared to provoke them, and could only do their best to hide from them.


    These four people looked as if they were a monolithic block, but in reality, each had their own abominable quality.


    In front of profits, how could they advance and retreat together as they used to before?


    At this time, Old Second finally said, "Big Brother, not that we don''t believe you, but this spirit artifact is overly important. It is better if we discuss what to do with it first, then each swears a Heavenly Dao Oath."


    When Old Second said that, Chen Jieqiu''s heart immediately sunk. Clearly, his killing intent was roused.


    However, Chen Jieqiu was the most cunning out of the four, so he naturally would not show it on his face.


    Chen Jieqiu laughed and said, "Since that''s the case, then us brothers discuss it first. Anyway, this brat can''t escape, so there''s no rush."


    Seeing this scene, a trace of a sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Bystanders see things clearly. He knew that this Chen Jieqiu already had the intent to kill.


    Currently, those three people still wanted to get a share, so they obviously could not detect Chen Jieqiu''s thoughts.


    Seeing the boss being so amiable, the three people also felt relieved.


    "Old Second, I''m afraid you already have some idea, right? Why not say it out and let us brothers hear it." Not the slightest bit of worry could be seen on Chen Jieqiu face.


    Old Second nodded and said, "The spirit artifact is an important artifact. It can''t be easily revealed to people. Otherwise, the four of us will definitely be chased to the ends of the world, and finally, whether we can keep it or not is still a question mark. Hence, those who have seen that us brothers have a spirit artifact must die!"


    When that was said, the other three also strongly felt the same and nodded to express their agreement.


    But right then, the essence energy in Chen Jieqiu''s body was already quietly revolving. The danger slowly approached . . .

 Chapter 127: Sowing Discord

    Chapter 127: Sowing Discord


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Although the Detoxification Pill Ye Yuan refined was only Tier 2, the composition of the medicinal pill was completely different from what Ye Hang refined.


    Consuming the Detoxification pill and facing these Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists from the State of Qin, Ye Yuan could be said to be invulnerable to all poison!


    If several Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could inflict poison with a Detoxification Pill refined by an exalted Alchemy Emperor, then it would truly be a joke.


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, the face of the boss of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes swiftly fell.


    A teenage youth talking about his grandfather not being born yet to his face, these words had indescribable oddness.


    Could it be that this brat was an old monster who just maintained this face using youth retaining techniques?


    The boss quickly denied this thought. Being admitted into the Dan Wu Academy, one had to undergo a bone age test. If this brat was really an old monster, there was no way he could have entered the Dan Wu Academy.


    And Ye Yuan was clearly just Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Which old monster''s strength was this lousy?


    Hence, the boss''s final conclusion was that Ye Yuan was purely diverting him!


    "Heh heh, your Detoxification Pill is a treasure. Even Hundred Breaths Collapse was useless to you. But do you think that with your power alone, you can escape from the four of us?" The boss sneered coldly.


    Ye Yuan did not panic the slightest bit. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Southern Ridge Dead Dogs, right? You all can come and try."


    Finishing, an azure tasseled sword suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand with an intimidating chilling qi.


    It was precisely the Canghua Sword!


    The instant the Canghua Sword appeared, the powerful aura unique to spirit artifacts swiftly enveloped the Southern Ridge Four Heroes.


    Demonic beast hunters were people with vast experiences and knowledge. Once the Canghua sword showed itself, they felt its distinctiveness.


    "Spirit artifact! It must be a spirit artifact! Precious artifacts and magic artifacts definitely don''t have this sort of undulations!" the Southern Ridge Boss exclaimed in shock, and his eyes instantly showed incomparable greed.


    Being reminded by the Southern Ridge Boss, the other three people immediately also reacted. Their gaze similarly revealed that extremely greedy look.


    "Hahahaha . . . To think that I, Chen Jieqiu, can actually own a spirit artifact. It''s truly heaven''s blessings! Brat, didn''t your family''s elders teach you the principle of not revealing valuables? Since you flashed out a spirit artifact, then I won''t stand on ceremony and just accept it!"


    The Southern Ridge Boss laughed maniacally.


    Right now, Chen Jieqiu was so agitated that he was shaking a little. This was a spirit artifact!


    Even in his dreams, he did not think that he could actually possess a spirit artifact in this lifetime!


    Chen Jieqiu already started to picture the scene of wielding the Canghua Sword and slaughtering in four directions. Just imagining it made one excited.


    Ye Yuan looked at Chen Jieqiu, and with a smile that was obviously not sincere he said, "Is that so? But there''s only one spirit artifact, yet there are four of you. How do you plan on distributing it?"


    Once Ye Yuan''s words came out, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes'' face changed.


    "Humph! Trying to sow discord between us four brothers, you''re still too inexperienced, brat! Regarding the allocation, us brothers will naturally take our time to discuss it after killing you. No need for you to worry."


    Chen Jieqiu had toughened himself after so many years in the pugilist world and quickly reacted to Ye Yuan''s intentions, and he tried to use words to calm his own brothers.


    But now that Ye Yuan said that, Chen Jieqiu also quietly planned out how to settle the ownership of this spirit artifact.


    After snatching over the spirit artifact, he would find a chance to finish off the other three people. This sword would belong to him alone!


    Whatever Southern Ridge Four Heroes, whatever brotherhood runs deep, they were all nothing in front of a spirit artifact!


    The martial arts world was where the strong prey on the weak. Only making one stronger was the absolute truth. Chen Jieqiu braved all kinds of dangers for so many years. How could he be unaware of this principle?


    "Really? But I saw your look when you were talking just now, and it doesn''t seem like you want to share with your brothers. You aren''t thinking about pacifying your brothers first, and then killing them after snatching the spirit artifact to keep it all to yourself, right? Don''t get agitated. I was just guessing. Hur hur." Ye Yuan beamed widely with squinted eyes.


    Having his inner thoughts seen through, Chen Jieqiu could not help becoming furious. "You are seeking death, brat! Us brothers have braved through fire and water for so many years. Our feelings are as solid as metal. Do you think that just by sowing a bit of dissent, we''ll fall for it? Brothers, kill this brat first!"


    "Ai-ya-ya, becoming angry from shame? You say that your feelings are as tough as metal. Do you dare to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?"


    "What''s there to be afraid of? However, kill you first before talking! Old Second, Old Third, Old Fourth, what are you standing there stupidly for? Don''t tell me our relationship can''t even stand up to a few sentences from this punk?" Chen Jieqiu gave a pained expression.


    The other three people exchanged glances but did not make a move for a long time. Clearly, Ye Yuan''s words took effect.


    "Heh heh, it''s not that your feelings aren''t deep, it''s the benefits which are too substantial! The allure of spirit artifacts is too great. Who can resist it? The way I see it, the few of you are vicious and ruthless people. Your relationship was good last time because there wasn''t the temptation of enormous benefits. But now, there''s a spirit artifact that appeared in front of you all. None of you can remain calm, right? The few of you aren''t his match in the first place. Once he gets the spirit artifact, can you all still survive?" Ye Yuan said it calmly.


    Ye Yuan''s words made the other three people''s expression change once more. No matter how good a spirit artifact was, it was not as good as one''s life.


    These Southern Ridge Four Heroes were originally infamous among demonic beast hunters. Each of them was ruthlessly cruel and cunning like foxes.


    To say that the four of them were demonic beast hunters, one might as well say that they were hunters of hunters. They frequently moved against other demonic beast hunters, incurring the wrath of both heaven and men.


    But these four people''s strength was also very great, resulting in nobody dared to provoke them, and could only do their best to hide from them.


    These four people looked as if they were a monolithic block, but in reality, each had their own abominable quality.


    In front of profits, how could they advance and retreat together as they used to before?


    At this time, Old Second finally said, "Big Brother, not that we don''t believe you, but this spirit artifact is overly important. It is better if we discuss what to do with it first, then each swears a Heavenly Dao Oath."


    When Old Second said that, Chen Jieqiu''s heart immediately sunk. Clearly, his killing intent was roused.


    However, Chen Jieqiu was the most cunning out of the four, so he naturally would not show it on his face.


    Chen Jieqiu laughed and said, "Since that''s the case, then us brothers discuss it first. Anyway, this brat can''t escape, so there''s no rush."


    Seeing this scene, a trace of a sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Bystanders see things clearly. He knew that this Chen Jieqiu already had the intent to kill.


    Currently, those three people still wanted to get a share, so they obviously could not detect Chen Jieqiu''s thoughts.


    Seeing the boss being so amiable, the three people also felt relieved.


    "Old Second, I''m afraid you already have some idea, right? Why not say it out and let us brothers hear it." Not the slightest bit of worry could be seen on Chen Jieqiu face.


    Old Second nodded and said, "The spirit artifact is an important artifact. It can''t be easily revealed to people. Otherwise, the four of us will definitely be chased to the ends of the world, and finally, whether we can keep it or not is still a question mark. Hence, those who have seen that us brothers have a spirit artifact must die!"


    When that was said, the other three also strongly felt the same and nodded to express their agreement.


    But right then, the essence energy in Chen Jieqiu''s body was already quietly revolving. The danger slowly approached . . .

    Chapter 128: Murder Triggered by a Spirit Artifact

    "As for the problem of the ownership of this spirit artifact, I feel that we can use a year for the duration! Boss, your strength is the greatest, so you get half a year. The remaining half a year will be split among the three of us. Each of us gets two months . . ."


    The more Old Second talked, the more excited he got. He felt that his allocation plan was very reasonable. It could dispel the boss''s discontent and also let himself use a spirit artifact for a period of time.


    "Oh, your idea is pretty good. I concur," Chen Jieqiu nodded and said.


    "Then what do the rest of the brothers think?" Old Second asked again.


    Old Third and Old Fourth naturally did not have any objections.


    Old Second opened his mouth again. He said, "Since that''s the case, then let''s decide it like this. But to avoid everyone reneging in the future, we''d better set a Heavenly Dao Oath . . . Ahhh!"


    Old Second had not finished talking when he flew out.


    He spewed fresh blood frenziedly in midair and landed feebly on the ground. There was air going in but no breathing out. Clearly, he was done for.


    This change happened too suddenly. Old Third and Old Fourth did not even manage to react yet.


    Chen Jieqiu did not hesitate. After ambushing Old Second, the attack he prepared long ago was launched at Old Third!


    A chilling light flashed past, and a blade severed Old Third''s arm with extreme speed.


    Old Third''s reaction was also fast. He slightly tilted his body. Otherwise, this move would have split him into two!


    "Arghhh!" Old Third cried out wretchedly and hastily revolved his essence energy to try and stop the bleeding from the wound.


    Old Fourth looked at Chen Jieqiu in horror and reproached furiously, "What''s the meaning of this, Boss?!"


    The moment the sneak attack succeeded, Chen Jieqiu finally felt relieved.


    Among them, the Southern Ridge Four Heroes, Old Fourth''s strength was the weakest, being only at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Dealing with him was not hard.


    What he feared most were Old Second and Old Third joining hands. That would more or less be quite troublesome.


    If they fought until both sides were injured over here, would it not benefit that brat by the side?


    "Heh heh, no other meaning. My intention . . . don''t tell me that Old Fourth you still can''t tell?" Chen Jieqiu said with a spurious smile.


    Old Fourth''s expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You''re really vicious, Boss! Us brothers have already been together for ten years, right? You actually laid hands against life and death brothers for a spirit artifact!"


    Chen Jieqiu sneered and said, "Life and death brothers? Don''t think I don''t know your dirty deeds! These few years, your wings have grown hard. How many spoils of battle have you all pocketed? When have I not closed an eye to it? Every time we encounter a strong enemy, you run faster than a rabbit, Old Fourth! Who helped you all to fall back? Now that we finally came across a spirit artifact, you actually still want a portion of the soup from me! What''s the f*cking point of placing this spirit artifact in your hands?"


    "Even so, you shouldn''t have murdered! We have so many years of sentiment between us brothers. What matter can''t be discussed?" Old Fourth appeared to be enraged.


    "Discuss my *ss! Think your father, I, still don''t know your temperaments? If it was some other thing, then forget it. But this is a spirit artifact! A spirit artifact which even a Crystal Formation Realm old freak find hard to get! How could you all possibly watch me use it alone? Hence, it''s better to kill off cleanly. This spirit artifact is mine, Chen Jieqiu''s!"


    The more Chen Jieqiu spoke, the more agitated he got.


    Old Fourth''s expression changed several times, but in the end, he still submitted, imploring, "Big Brother! My strength is the weakest among us four brothers. I won''t even think about owning a spirit artifact. Now that Second Brother and Third brother . . . One is dead and the other is injured, I''m even less of a threat. Can you let me off? I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that I''ll absolutely not leak out the matter of you owning a spirit artifact!"


    Old Fourth said it very sincerely in a manner like he stood aloof from worldly desires, which made Chen Jieqiu calm down.


    After ruminating it for a short while, Chen Jieqiu nodded and said, "Fine. Swear an oath!"


    Hearing that, Old Fourth was overjoyed, and he hurriedly expressed gratitude. "Thank you, Big Brother!"


    Old Fourth no longer hesitated and directly raised his finger pointing to the skies, swearing, "I swear an oath in the name of Heavenly Dao, I''ll absolutely not leak out the matter of Big Brother obtaining a spirit artifact, otherwise . . ."


    Old Fourth''s Heaven Dao Oath was recited halfway when a change occurred once more!


    Chen Jieqiu''s blade howled towards Old Fourth with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!


    Old Fourth really thought that the boss let him off. How could he have thought that he was so ruthless and had long had the heart to kill for certain?


    Virtually without defending, that blade light pierced Old Fourth''s heart . . .


    Up until now, Old Second and Old Fourth died. Old Third still had half his life left.


    The wound was poisoned. Old Third would die for sure in half a day.


    Finishing all these, Chen Jieqiu looked and Ye Yuan, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to you. Your inciting discord succeeded. There''s only me alone left among us four brothers."


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said smilingly, "Your Southern Ridge Dead Dogs'' brotherhood really runs deep. When I was watching just now, it touched me so much that I''m almost tearing."


    Chen Jieqiu could not be bothered with Ye Yuan''s sarcasm and said, "I thought that you would take advantage of the chaos just now to run away. Didn''t think that you could actually hold back."


    "Haven''t you been guarding against me? If I were to escape, it would be perfect for you give me a lightning blow, isn''t that so?" Ye Yuan said.


    Chen Jieqiu was somewhat puzzled as he said, "Didn''t think that your strength can''t cut it, brat, but your observation is rather meticulous. A talent. But if that wasn''t the case, you also couldn''t have incited us brothers to kill ourselves."


    Chen Jieqiu this person was very insidious and cunning. He even calculated against his own brothers, let alone Ye Yuan.


    Although he was dealing with the other three people just now, he always paid attention to Ye Yuan''s movements. As long as Ye Yuan dared to move, he would surely give Ye Yuan a lightning-like blow.


    "Haha. Thanks for the praise," Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    Having already finished off the other three people, Chen Jieqiu was not anxious right now. Instead, he started chatting with Ye Yuan.


    "Seeing that you already have Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm cultivation at such a young age, I''m afraid that your status in the Dan Wu Academy isn''t low, right? And yet, a genius like you have to plummet here today. This is really regretful."


    His mouth said regretful, but Chen Jieqiu''s expression was very excited.


    Obtaining a spirit artifact and even nipping a genius in his bud, no matter how he thought, it was an extremely refreshing thing.


    Ye Yuan looked at Chen Jieqiu pitifully and said with a smile, "I''m asking, if you were for real, why haven''t you have a single bit of awareness? En, en, hoping for a joke to become aware doesn''t seem to be very realistic. I also don''t know who gave you your confidence, to make you feel certain of finishing me off."


    Chen Jieqiu was stunned when he heard that and immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha! You''re killing me! A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm brat actually dares to be so brazen. It''s really typical of the people from the academy! I know that your academy''s students are all really impressive and can leap ranks in battle. If you were a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, then I really dare not talk to you like this. But sadly . . . you''re only a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm."


    Chen Jieqiu was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. The way he saw it, wouldn''t dealing with a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm be a complete crush on the latter?


    Even if he was a genius.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. "Do you know why I sowed discord to make you all kill each other? Do you think that I only wanted to seize the chance to escape? You''re wrong! Gravely mistaken!"

    Chapter 129: Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword: Nine Swords Stance!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Oh? Mistaken? I want to hear just how I''m mistaken."


    Chen Jieqiu felt that Ye Yuan was very humorous. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm racked his brain to make them brothers kill each other not for escaping. Could it be that it was for killing them all?


    But the reality was so!


    "In truth, when I first took out the Canghua Sword, I just wanted to test the bonds between you brothers. But I didn''t think that the result would give me such a shock and amazing effect. The reason why I spent so much effort to foment you all was that I wasn''t confident in killing all of you simultaneously. It''s still best for lesser people to know about the matter concerning the spirit artifact," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    "Haha! Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you mean that the four of us combined aren''t your match?" Chen Jieqiu felt like he had heard a hilarious joke.


    Ye Yuan nodded in acknowledgment. "That''s right. It''s exactly so."


    "You truly have no idea of death or danger. Do you think that by having a spirit artifact, you can cross a major realm and fight me? I do want to test whether a Dan Wu Academy''s genius student has real ability or is just a fool who can only brag!" Chen Jieqiu was infuriated by Ye Yuan''s attitude.


    Having frequently walked along the borders of life and death, Chen Jieqiu''s strength was very formidable!


    Forget about Essence Qi Realm martial artists, even among Third Level Spirit Condensation Realms, he belonged to the strong type.


    Of course, compared to the sort of strength among the Dan Wu Academy''s Martial Roll''s experts, it was still lacking too much.


    "Hur hur, don''t worry. You''ll see it right away."


    The instant his words fell, Ye Yuan''s entire aura transformed as if his entire being turned into a sharp sword.


    As if sensing the sword intent coming off of Ye Yuan''s body, the Canghua Sword actually started to tremor in Ye Yuan''s hand!


    The reason why spirit artifacts were called spirit artifacts was that they possessed spirituality.


    This sort of spirituality was not that they developed consciousness, but that they could produce a certain degree of resonance with the martial artist.


    This sort of resonance could increase the martial artist''s strength. It was precisely because of this that spirit artifacts were stronger than magic artifacts and precious artifacts!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s transformation, color instantly faded from Chen Jieqiu''s face and what replaced it was solemnness.


    No matter how he thought, he could not have expected that a mere Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm could release such a formidable sword intent!


    Chen Jieqiu finally understood why Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to escape.


    He did not even need to run!


    Such a powerful sword intent truly had the might to threaten him.


    "This is my first time executing Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art. You''re the first person to see it. You should feel honored!" Ye Yuan held his sword and pointed to Chen Jieqiu as he spoke.


    On the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan fused together the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art and his own Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword, the two sword intents, and named it Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art.


    The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art might be strong, but it required sword moves to display.


    With intent but no moves, a rootless weed. With moves but lacking intent, flashy without substance.


    Ye Yuan''s outlook was extremely high. He deeply understood the logic that what suited oneself was the best.


    Hence, he did not think to go to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to learn the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art''s sword moves but chose to create his own style!


    Creating styles was not something fun to do. Learning other people''s things was already extremely, tremendously challenging; let alone creating one.


    Those who could self-create styles were undoubtedly all peerless prodigies.


    Only Ye Yuan dared to play like this.


    But due to time constraints, Ye Yuan only completed the embryonic form of the first move.


    "Humph! No matter how powerful your sword intent is, without the support of essence energy, how much power can it have? I don''t believe that you, a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, can really kill me!" Chen Jieqiu snorted coldly.


    "Five Ghost Mourning Soul Blade! Kill!"


    Chen Jieqiu decided to take the initiative. The moment he made a move, it was a killing blow.


    Five Ghost Mourning Soul Blade was the skill Chen Jieqiu became famous for. He had been developing this martial art for nearly ten years. One could say that he mastered it to perfection.


    When the blade slashed out, a weeping sound suddenly cried out akin to ghost wailing and wolves howling. It actually had the effect of absorbing souls!


    This martial technique was extremely powerful. The average martial artists would succumb to it the instant they got careless.


    But sadly, Chen Jieqiu met Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan comprehended Heart Like Still Water on the Nine Heavens Road. This sort of soul absorbing had no effect at all to him.


    And right then, Ye Yuan''s sword stance was already completed.


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, First Stance, Nine Swords Stance!"


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry and transformed into nine silhouettes!


    Nine Ye Yuans struck with their swords simultaneously and unleashed nine streaks of azure-colored sword beams!


    The nine streaks of sword beams were released later, but arrived first, enveloping Chen Jieqiu completely.


    Chen Jieqiu was greatly alarmed. How could he be bothered to hack Ye Yuan anymore? He swiftly drew his blade to defend.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    A series of metal striking sounded out. Chen Jieqiu was in a flurry before barely blocking the sword beams.


    Chen Jieqiu was well-deserved for being a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert. These nine streaks of sword beams were executed using the Canghua Sword. Its might was extremely formidable. He actually blocked the majority of it.


    However, there was still a streak of sword beam which breached his defensive circle and punched through his left arm without mercy!


    "Ahhh!" Chen Jieqiu cried out miserably and clutched his left arm agonizingly.


    The flesh on his left arm was minced. Clearly, it was already crippled.


    Chen Jieqiu was worthy of being a veteran. After suffering a hit, he shot towards the outer areas with extreme speed without saying anything. He was actually fleeing.


    Evidently, he was already completely certain that he was absolutely not Ye Yuan''s match. Escaping with his life was of paramount importance!


    However, Ye Yuan obviously would not give him that chance. Practically the instant he turned around to escape, Ye Yuan kept away the Canghua Sword and pointed with his left finger!


    Absolute Yang Finger!


    This was already the Great Circle stage Absolute Yang Finger. Its killing might was absolutely astounding!


    Chen Jieqiu also did not expect Ye Yuan to react so quickly. This finger''s speed was incredibly fast. There was simply no time to defend.


    Puchi!


    With that sound, an intangible force directly pierced through Chen Jieqiu''s calf.


    "Arghhh!" Chen Jieqiu gave another wretch sounding cry and then collapsed on the ground.


    "I already said that none of you will escape. How can I give you the chance to flee?" Ye Yuan went forward a few steps and said calmly.


    Chen Jieqiu disregarded the pain from his arm and leg and quickly scramble over to kneel in front of Ye Yuan. He cried out miserably, "Mercy, Little Brother! I, Chen Jieqiu, have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! I''ve offended little brother! I deserve to die! I deserve death! As long as Little Brother spare my life, I''m willing to work like a bull and a horse for you!"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I think that you brothers have all committed countless crimes, right? Killing you all counts as executing justice on behalf of heaven. A bull or a horse like you, I dare not accept! Go in peace."


    Finishing, he directly removed Chen Jieqiu''s head without giving him the slightest chance.


    Ye Yuan did not have any pity at all towards these sort of human dregs.


    Recalling the scene when he displayed the Nine Swords Stance just now, Ye Yuan frowned and murmured to himself, "The Nine Swords Stance can still be perfected. The might of this nine streaks of sword beams is unbalanced. Unleashing the sword was also unharmonious. There still some time lag."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with that strike just now.


    Right then, a feeble voice was heard.


    "Y-Young Hero, I b-beg you . . . Save me."

 Chapter 130: I Give Senior Apprentice Sister a Hundred Years of Youth

    Chapter 130: I Give Senior Apprentice Sister a Hundred Years of Youth


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan looked over, and it turned out to be Old Third of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes.


    His arm was hacked off by Chen Jieqiu, and the blade carried deadly poison. Right now, the poison already spreading throughout his body.


    The antidote had always been under Chen Jieqiu''s charge, which was why he left Old Third alone.


    Southern Ridge Old Third had no time to be astonished by Ye Yuan''s prowess. But he recalled Ye Yuan ate a Detoxification Pill, and the result was that the Hundred Breaths Collapse was utterly useless.


    Only Ye Yuan could save him now!


    Ye Yuan gave Southern Ridge Old Third a pitiful look and said, "Disasters from the heaven can be withstood, but the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. Since you all thought of robbing others, you should have been mentally prepared to be killed. Furthermore, to be able to die at the hands of your own brothers, you can die in peace."


    Earlier, Ye Yuan was watching coldly from the sidelines and had long seen that none of the four people were good.


    Ye Yuan was not some fresh rookie, so he obviously would not make this kind of low-level mistake.


    Seeing Ye Yuan about to leave, Southern Ridge Old Third panicked and quickly called out. "Young Hero, I . . . I have important intelligence. 1I . . . I only ask that Young Hero save my life."


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with that fellow. He collected the storage rings left behind by those people.


    Even though he did not hope to find good stuff from these guys, at any rate, it was his loot.


    "Young hero, I . . . I really have important intelligence! A few days ago, we passed by the Lotus Moon Gorge and discovered that the demonic beasts around the canyon were causing a commotion and rushing towards the depths of the canyon. There must be some natural treasure being born!" 2


    Southern Ridge Old Third feared that Ye Yuan would really leave, so he simply said it out.


    But Ye Yuan sneered when he heard it. "With such a natural treasure, why didn''t you guys go? How can a natural treasure, which caused a collective upheaval of demonic beasts, be ordinary? I''m afraid that you baiting me to go to the Lotus Moon Gorge isn''t something as simple as saving you, right?"


    "I . . . when did I, Y-Young Hero." Facing Ye Yuan''s compelling gaze, Southern Ridge Old Third faltered.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan had such a mature mind at such a young age.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fine then. To let you die in peace, I promise that I''ll definitely go to the Lotus Moon Gorge. Since you still want to play mind games with me on your deathbed, then don''t blame me."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan smacked his palm down on the top of Southern Ridge Old Third''s head.


    "Y-Young Hero, mercy! Ahhh!"


    Following a blood-curdling scream, Southern Ridge Old Third died.


    Although the Southern Ridge Old Third revealing this news was his dying throes, one had to admit that he coincidentally struck Ye Yuan''s weak point.


    As an alchemist, Ye Yuan truly did not have any immunity towards natural treasures. He would not give up until he went to see it.


    After settling the business here, a blue-clothed figure fluttered over. Who could it be but Feng Zhirou?


    When Feng Zhirou came close, she stabbed towards Ye Yuan with her sword wordlessly.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly dodged and cried out, "Senior Apprentice Sister, I have something to say!"


    "Say your head! Have a taste of my sword first!" How could Feng Zhirou listen? With a wave of her hand, she struck with her sword again.


    Although Feng Zhirou''s sword looked vicious, in truth, she did not use killing moves.


    Ever since nearly killing Ye Yuan previously, Feng Zhirou more or less learned her lesson.


    And the current Ye Yuan was no longer someone she could casually flatten with a sword. Of course, Ye Yuan naturally could not retaliate. He was in the wrong in the first place.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, I did that all for you! Ahh!"


    While he was talking, another sword struck. Ye Yuan cried out and swiftly evaded.


    "For me? Sounds really nice! Do you know how much effort I spent to shake off that big stupid bear? Enough crap. Eat my sword!"


    Feng Zhirou was played by Ye Yuan and even had no choice but to help him draw away the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Her heart had so much pent-up anger.


    "You stop first alright, Senior Apprentice Sister? Aiya, hear me explain things carefully!" Ye Yuan said while dodging.


    "What''s there to explain? Stand still for me and eat my sword first before we talk!"


    How could Feng Zhirou be willing to give in?


    The two people, one chasing, and the other fleeing. In a blink of an eye, over a dozen sword strikes were unleashed, but Ye Yuan just refused to stop,


    Ye Yuan was also chased until he became irritated. He suddenly halted and shut his eyes to let Feng Zhirou freely stab over.


    Feng Zhirou also did not expect Ye Yuan to suddenly play this move. She instantly jumped in fright. If this sword landed, how could Ye Yuan survive?


    Ye Yuan had given a lot of help to them aunt and niece. Feng Zhirou did not say it, but her heart was still rather grateful.


    Chasing down Ye Yuan was just to vent her anger, not to really hurt him,


    Ye Yuan''s action came too suddenly. Feng Zhirou simply could not react. Withdrawing her sword at this time was already too late.


    But, Feng Zhirou was a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert at any rate. Her control towards the sword already reached an extremely powerful level, and she managed to change the trajectory of the sword mid-path.


    This sword barely shaved by Ye Yuan''s ear with immense trepidation.


    But right then, Ye Yuan''s face and Feng Zhirou''s face was practically plastered together.


    Ye Yuan had his eyes shut, and Feng Zhirou''s exhalation smelled like orchids, unintentionally affecting Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Feng Zhirou''s pretty face went red first before taking a step back and yelling, "Are you mad, Ye Yuan? Do you know how dangerous that was just now?"


    Ye Yuan opened his eyes and suddenly cracked a smile. "If not like this, Senior Apprentice Sister won''t give up! I know Senior Apprentice Sister cares for me and definitely won''t kill me."


    "Don''t give me that! Don''t think I dare not kill you!" Feng Zhirou raised her sword again, but threatening again at this time appeared to be so weak and frail.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and pushed the sword aside. "Senior Apprentice Sister, if you want to kill me, you have to at least let me finish what I have to say first."


    Feng Zhirou kept away her sword and snorted. "Fine! I''ll hear just what you have to say! But if you don''t give a justifiable reason, you can walk the rest of the way yourself!"


    Finishing, Feng Zhirou was so peeved that she turned around.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I give Senior Apprentice Sister a hundred years of youth. Is Senior Apprentice Sister still satisfied . . . with this explanation?"


    When Feng Zhirou heard those words, the anger on her face swiftly faded, and what took its place was curiosity.


    She turned around and curiously asked, "What hundred years of youth? Say clearly!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and explained the function of the Silver Sword Bee''s honey.


    Feng Zhirou instantly became elated when she heard that. Clutching Ye Yuan, she asked, "Is what you said true? That whatever Beauty Retaining Pill can really maintain my appearance for a hundred years without aging?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A hundred years is just the beginning. If I perform above my usual standards and refine out a transcendent-grade Beauty Retaining Pill, then a hundred and fifty years is not an issue. Furthermore, not only can the Beauty Retaining Pill let you maintain your current appearance, it can even moisturize your skin, making it fairer than snow!"


    "Really? Then doesn''t that mean that I''ll look even better than now?" Where was there still any demeanor of a proud daughter of heaven presently on her? Feng Zhirou looked just like a little girl ignorant of worldly affairs.


    However, she could not be blamed for this. As long as one was a woman, regardless of how unparalleled her martial arts was or what a peerless beauty she was, they would still place a heavy emphasis on their appearance.


    Feng Zhirou was only a mortal country''s little princess. In the future, she would surely grow old.


    Growing old like that was the most frightening thing for every woman. It was even more terrifying than dying. Hence, they would risk their lives to try and delay the coming of that day.

 Chapter 131: Despondent Sieging Team

    Chapter 131: Despondent Sieging Team


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Somewhere several hundred miles away from Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou, four Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were currently sieging a powerful lion type demonic beast.


    "Damn fellow! Chang One, attack its eyes! Chang Two, Chang Three, let''s go and hold it back!" a youth commanded the other three people.


    "Yes, Young Master!"


    The trio acknowledged in unison.


    This lion type demonic beast was exceptionally powerful. It was already at the peak middle-stage Tier 2. It was already not far away from breaking through to the late-stage Tier 2.


    The four people actually appeared to be straining to deal with this demonic beast together!


    Following that youth''s command, the other three people coordinated abnormally well, akin to one entity.


    Chang One leaped and landed on the head of the lion type demonic beast. The demonic beast naturally would not give this fellow free rein to threaten it. It raised its paw wanting to grab at Chang One.


    How could the other three give him this chance? Attacks akin to rain falling struck towards the lion type demonic beast''s abdomen.


    After all, these were three middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. No matter how strong this demonic beast''s defense was, it dared not let this sort of attack go unchecked.


    With no alternatives, that demonic beast retracted its paw and went from attacking to defending.


    But at this time, Chang One grabbed hold of the opportunity and pulverized that demonic beast''s eye into mincemeat.


    Seeing the situation, the four people were euphoric. A series of attacks raided on the demonic beast again, directly sending it flying out.


    That demonic beast received heavy injuries. Not only did it not retreat, but it also went berserk.


    "Roar!"


    The lion type demonic beast gave a heavy roar and attacked the four people frenziedly.


    "Be careful! This is its death throes! Don''t fight it head-on! Let''s hit and run to slowly expend its strength. It can''t hold on much longer!" the youth instructed.


    "Yes, Young Master."


    In reality, these three people were veterans. They also knew what to do without the young man''s instructions.


    Before long, that lion type demonic beast collapsed on the ground. The four people let out a long sigh of relief.


    When the demonic beast died, the four slumped on the ground panting non-stop. They all suffered injuries which were not light.


    "Damn it! Being delayed by this demonic beast, we are getting further away from Ye Yuan!" The young man swallowed a medicinal pill as he gnashed in teeth in hatred.


    This youth was precisely Su Yishan who was planning to kill off Ye Yuan during the Endless Trials, while the other three were the Su Family''s retainers, the Chang trio brothers.


    There were many people when they just entered the forest, so they naturally could not make a move on Ye Yuan then.


    But who would have thought that Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou walked faster and faster. They were actually unable to catch up.


    It was not that their speed was slow, but because there were demonic beasts continuously harassing them along the way.


    This demonic beast just now was the most powerful one they have encountered. Just the delay cost them a whole two hours!


    "Relax, Young Master. My Enchanted Shadow Bug has been following them this whole time. We''ll catch up to them eventually." Chang One said.


    Su Yishan was aware of Chang One''s tracking capabilities. It was just that he was feeling very annoyed. "I''m just wondering why the demonic beasts only attack us when Ye Yuan also walked through here."


    "This . . . Maybe it''s also because we''re unlucky," Chang One said uncertainly.


    Even with Chang One''s rich experience, he could not think of a reason.


    "Luck? Isn''t their luck way too good? We tracked all the way here, and the places they walked through didn''t show any traces of fighting at all! That''s to say that they didn''t even go through a single battle while we have been through over a dozen big and small fights?"


    The more Su Yishan said, the angrier he got. Finally, a punch smashed heavily on the ground sending dirt flying.


    "Truly quite sinister! The road the two of them walked is basically a straight line as if they were running straight towards someplace. But in the Endless Forest, nobody had ever dared to journey like that. There are plenty of high-rank Tier 2 demonic beasts'' territories along the way. If they accidentally startled them, they would lose a layer of skin even if they didn''t die." Chang one also felt very depressed.


    "That''s right! Don''t tell me that those demonic beasts are all blind and deaf and simply couldn''t sense them at all? At this rate, we will be exhausted to death by these demonic beasts before finding them!" Su Yishan said with fervent hatred.


    Initially, he thought that killing Ye Yuan in the Endless Forest was a very simple matter. He did not think that it would be riddled with troubles now.


    The further in they went, the stronger the demonic beasts got! Continuing in a straight line like this was definitely out of the question. They must avoid the territories of those powerful demonic beasts and go forward in a roundabout manner.


    But this way, when could they manage to find Ye Yuan and co?


    Before coming, Su Yubai already told him that the Endless Forest was the best as well as the final chance to eliminate Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan left the Endless Forest, the Su Family would welcome never-ending troubles!


    Chang One also realized that the matter was rather troublesome now. Before coming out this time, the family head had already issued the death command. They must kill Ye Yuan!


    If the mission was not completed, then carry their own heads back!


    The family head had never issued such a command before. One could see just how great Ye Yuan''s threat to the Su Family was!


    Chang One sucked in a deep breath and took out an Endless Forest map from his storage ring. Opening it, he placed it in front of Su Yishan.


    "Young Master, continuing like this is indeed out of the question. Since they are hurrying towards a certain place, why don''t we find that place and then lie in ambush there?" Chang One suggested.


    Hearing this, Su Yishan immediately calmed down. He nodded and said, "What you said is right! Share your idea!"


    Chang One reached out with his finger and pointed on the map. "Look here, Young Master. Ever since they entered the Endless Forest, they didn''t stop for a moment as they went along this straight line towards the North-West direction. With their strength, it''s impossible to go somewhere too deep. It must be within an area of a thousand miles! Then, inside this thousand miles, where is the place they are most likely to go to?"


    "Crimson Summit Ridge!" Su Yishan blurted out.


    Chang One''s finger started from the entrance and kept extending until a thousand miles in the North-West direction. That place impressively marked Crimson Summit Ridge!


    "Sii . . . Is Ye Yuan insane? To actually go to such a dangerous place like Crimson Summit Ridge!" Su Yishan sucked in a cold breath.


    Chang One shook his head and said, "Based on common sense, him going to the Crimson Summit Ridge naturally saves us from striking. But looking at the current situation, this Ye Yuan''s methods are really hard to conjecture. Ignoring other things, just based on him being able to not alarm these high-rank demonic beasts along the way is already an incredible ability! And according to my estimation, it''s highly likely that he''s going to the Crimson Summit Ridge to find some medicinal herbs for that little maidservant of his!"


    Chang One''s analysis struck deeply, practically exactly the same as the truth!


    Since they came to gang up and kill Ye Yuan, Chang One naturally did sufficient homework. He understood Ye Yuan very thoroughly. Even a minute detail like Lu-er was noticed.


    Su Yishan was forcefully shocked awake and could not help shooting a surprised gaze at Chang One, seeing him in a completely new light.


    No wonder Father sent him to siege Ye Yuan. This guy could not be underestimated!


    Very clearly, Chang One''s analysis basically had no flaws. This was also the most logical explanation!


    Initially, Su Yishan was still worried about whether or not Ye Yuan would take part in this Endless Trials. Finally, his concern was proven to be superfluous.


    Ye Yuan was not foolish enough to think that he could spare him. But he still came. That meant that he had a reason to come no matter what!


    And this reason was exactly Lu-er!

 Chapter 132: Swaggering In!

    Chapter 132: Swaggering In!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Then, what do you say we do now, Chang One?" Su Yishan actually sought for Chang One''s opinion.


    Chang One also appeared to be rather surprised. He understood this Young Lord a little.


    Su Yishan had an ingrained pride and generally looked down on the Su Family''s retainers like them.


    But today, he actually sought out his opinion.


    It looked like Su Yishan matured quite a bit during this period of time!


    Only such a Su Yishan was worthy of being the Su Family successor.


    Chang One no longer hesitated and stated his thoughts, "Regardless whether or not they went to the Crimson Summit Ridge, there is definitely a destination. And I''m afraid that it isn''t going to be so easy for them to get that medicinal herb. We just have to chase after according to the direction the Enchanted Shadow Bug is pointing to and set up an ambush in advance. I figure he wouldn''t be able to escape anyway! Let''s keep heading towards this direction while avoiding some of the powerful demonic beasts'' territories later on. This way, even if we detoured a little, it would at most be around half a day''s time. We can definitely still make it!"


    Su Yishan ruminated for some time and felt that what Chang One said made sense.


    They were unaware of Ye Yuan''s goal at the beginning, so they just blindly chased. In the end, the time delay from being impeded by demonic beasts increased instead.


    Since they have the direction now, they naturally need not fear them escaping. Circling around the powerful demonic beasts'' territories might even be slightly faster.


    "Okay, we''ll do as you said! Recuperate a while first and then set off!" Su Yishan instructed.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan had settled things with Feng Zhirou. The pair swallowed another Breath Concealing Pill each and rushed over to the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    "Ye Yuan, were those four people all killed by you? You''re actually already this powerful!"


    Feng Zhirou was still rather astonished by Ye Yuan''s power. Those were four Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, and they actually all died in Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How can I have such capabilities? I just used some small tricks and made them kill each other for a while. That''s why the results were like that."


    Only now did Feng Zhirou feel relieved. "So that''s the case. Gave me a fright! If you could kill those four people alone, doesn''t that mean that you already have the strength to rank in the top 30 of the Martial Roll?"


    Initially, the ranking everyone gave Ye Yuan was roughly around rank 50 on the Martial Roll.


    It was nothing difficult for this strength to defeat several ordinary Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    Feng Zhirou knew that the strength of demonic beast hunters was greater than the average martial artist. Furthermore, there was a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist among them. Ye Yuan was able to hold the four of them there. Raising another 20 places was nothing much.


    Ye Yuan was only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Being at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, he already possessed the strength of the top 30 on the Martial Roll. When he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, just how terrifying would that be?


    Feng Zhirou felt that it was inconceivable just thinking about it.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan denied her conjecture. Otherwise, Feng Zhirou would really have felt that so many years of hard work went to waste.


    "You''re really full of tricks! Several veterans were actually completely toyed by you!" After Feng Zhirou felt reassured, she could not help scorning Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Who asked this Junior Apprentice Brother, I, to be lacking in strength. If I didn''t come up with some ruses, then wouldn''t I be unable to even keep my life? Otherwise, Teacher Feng would not have made Senior Apprentice Sister come and protect me."


    After pondering, Feng Zhirou thought the same as well, but her mouth stated otherwise, "Don''t give me that. Your life is tenacious as hell. You didn''t even die when challenging the Nine Heavens Road. Looks like even the heaven can''t be bothered to take you in."


    Ye Yuan laughed but did not reply.


    What Feng Zhirou said was really true. Ye Yuan did not take the Nine Heavens Road to heart, but he was clearly already dead in the Divine Realm. But now, he was standing here perfectly fine. Ye Yuan felt that this was like a dream just thinking about it now.


    . . . . . .


    Around half a day later, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou finally arrived at the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    This place was highly treacherous. Apart from the Long-arm Stone Apes, there were also quite a number of powerful demonic beasts around the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    Demonic beast hunters had never dared to step foot fully into a place of such a level as the Endless Forest.


    Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would move cautiously in this place. If they were surrounded by the Long-arm Stone Apes, the outcome would be being ganged up on and beaten to death.


    The two found a safe place to hide and secretly observe the situation on the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    It was fine if they did not look. But one look and Feng Zhirou freaked out.


    Although the forest was very dense, the indistinct coming and going of white Long-arm Stone Apes appeared to be very glaring.


    They walked around in groups of twos and threes, appearing as if they were patrolling!


    "These Long-arm Stone Apes gathered and formed teams. Why does it look like they are patrolling the mountain?" Feng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan somewhat surprised, as she transmitted her voice.


    "The stone ape race have extremely high intelligence. Their awareness towards territory is already stronger than other demonic beasts. And their hierarchy is very strict, namely Ape Soldier, Ape General, and Ape King. Stone apes live in social groups and do not permit others to encroach into their terrain. The moment they discover that there''s a trespasser, they would gather and attack," Ye Yuan explained.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s explanation, Feng Zhirou asked in bewilderment, "No way? Since you''re so familiar with the Long-arm Stone Ape''s habits, aren''t you courting death by coming to the Crimson Summit Ridge?"


    Listening to Ye Yuan''s meaning, the Long-arm Stone Apes had very strong exclusiveness and aggressiveness. Once they were discovered, they two of them would be in grave danger.


    The so-called Ape Soldier, Ape General, and Ape King of the Long-arm Stone Apes, respectively corresponded to Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.


    Forget about the Ape Generals and Ape King, just the several tens of thousands of Ape Soldiers could drown them by rushing them.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Zhirou and chuckled very helplessly.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s laughter filled with mockery, Feng Zhirou flew into a rage again. "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"


    Ye Yuan pointed at his head and said with a smile, "Why is the human race powerful? Not because we cultivate faster than the demon race nor is it because our bodies are better than the demon race, but because our intellect is way higher than the demon race! Hence, use your brain first before doing things and not just think about running or charging about recklessly, understood?"


    "You mean that you have a plan? Then quickly say it! En? Hang on! Well done Ye Yuan, are you trying to say that I''m even dumber than demonic beasts?!"


    Feng Zhirou reacted to it swiftly, and her rage meter shot straight up. However, she learned her lesson this time and did not make any sound, but spoke with voice transmission. Only that the expression on her face became increasingly ice-cold.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "I say, Senior Apprentice Sister, can you not be so sensitive, alright? I''m just telling you a fact, but you just had to turn around and scold yourself. Why?"


    "Humph! Don''t be proud of yourself! Now isn''t the time. Watch how I settle the score with you after we get back!" Feng Zhiroua snorted icily.


    Facing the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes, the proud Senior Apprentice Sister Feng finally knew how to weigh things and not blow her top easily.


    There was only one Iron Paw Flying Bear, so she could still lure it away. If they alarmed the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes, then the pair would not even get the chance to escape.


    "Haha! Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Sister Your Excellency''s grace!" Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    "Enough crap! What method do you have to enter, quickly say it!" Feng Zhirou pent-up a stomach full of anger and said huffily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How to enter? Of course, it''s by swaggering in!"

 Chapter 133: Knowledge Is Power

    Chapter 133: Knowledge Is Power


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Swaggering in? Did your brain short-circuit? There are so many stone apes. How do we swagger in?" Feng Zhirou stared wide-eyed at Ye Yuan as if she was looking at a fool.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, please don''t measure others after yourself, alright? I already said just now, you got to use your brain before doing things!" Ye Yuan gave another emotional sigh.


    "You!"


    Feng Zhirou''s brows were vertical. This fellow actually ridiculed her again!


    Fine, you''re ruthless! But don''t you know that women bear grudges very well? We''ll record down the accounts this time one by one and tally it all up after we return!


    "The Long-arm Stone Apes might be powerful, but they have a weakness, which is that they have virtually zero night vision abilities! And we have the Breath Concealing Pill. They can''t detect our scent. Hence, just wait until it gets dark, and we''ll just swagger in!" Ye Yuan explained.


    "This also works?"


    Feng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated by Ye Yuan. How did this fellow know so much?


    Nobody even dared to come to the Crimson Summit Ridge. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists dared not stop here for long, let alone they understood the habits of the Long-arm Stone Apes.


    "Why can''t it work?" Ye Yuan retorted with a question.


    "But . . . But didn''t you say that the Breath Concealing Pill is only effective for demonic beasts below Tier 3? What should we do if we bump into the Ape King?" Feng Zhirou enquired.


    "I''ve already enquired long ago that within a thousand miles radius of the Endless Forest, the highest is only Tier 3 demonic beasts. The Crimson Summit Ridge is still within the thousand miles radius. A mountain cannot contain two tigers. Hence, this place at most has a Tier 3 Ape King. Such a large Crimson Summit Ridge, just how lucky do we have to be to encounter the Ape King?"


    Now that Ye Yuan said that, Feng Zhirou felt that there really did not seem to be much danger.


    Such a dangerous looking place was actually as easy as walking on flat ground to Ye Yuan!


    Of course, it was only like walking on flat ground for Ye Yuan. If it were some other person, they would have no idea how to refine the Breath Concealing Pill and would only seek their doom by coming here.


    This fellow was truly a monster. It seemed like nothing could stump him!


    Feng Zhirou was also a haughty and proud individual. She always felt somewhat unwilling to submit. Not knowing why she faintly looked forward to some situation to occur later up the mountain!


    Who asked you to be cocky!


    . . . . . .


    A moonless dark night.


    The faint breeze made the leaves rustle as two figures slowly headed for the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    Although demonic beasts had greater vitality than humans, they are not tireless.


    Currently, it was midnight, and most of the Long-arm Stone Apes headed back to the mountain to rest. It naturally would not be like daytime where ape shadows were aplenty.


    Human martial artists'' night vision abilities were quite strong. Even though they did not have the same range as daytime, nor was it as clear, seeing things within a small radius was still not an issue.


    Furthermore, with a rise in realm, the changes that essence energy had towards martial artists'' bodies would also become greater. The night vision abilities of human martial artists would become increasingly stronger.


    Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan walked towards the mountain unhurriedly in fear of alerting the Long-arm Stone Apes.


    "The Crimson Summit Ridge is so huge. Where do we look for the Crimson Soul Grass?" Feng Zhirou suddenly transmitted her voice and asked.


    "The summit!" Ye Yuan only said two words.


    "What? The summit? There''s a very high chance for that Ape King to be at the summit!" Feng Zhirou nearly made a sound.


    "Can you not get all worked up over nothing? Why is this place called the Crimson Summit Ridge? Why is the medicinal herb called Crimson Soul Grass? Please use your brain, alright?" Ye Yuan said grumpily.


    This woman had no use at all other than making a fuss over every little thing.


    Being uncultured was truly frightening!


    Seeing Feng Zhirou still having that blank look, Ye Yuan could only explain, "This place is called Crimson Summit Ridge because the mud at the summit is crimson in color. That sort of mud is called Crimson Xiang Soil, one of the extremely few soils which can breed the Crimson Soul Grass. However, the quantity of Crimson Xiang Soil on this Crimson Summit Ridge isn''t a lot either. Just that small patch at the summit. Hence, for us to obtain the Crimson Soul Grass, we must go to the summit!"


    Feng Zhirou did not know what to say either. This Ye Yuan was simply like an encyclopedia. He knew everything!


    Only him with such broad and profound knowledge dared to barge into this Crimson Summit Ridge with Essence Qi Realm cultivation, right?


    "What if . . . What if we bump into the Ape King at the summit? What should we do?" Feng Zhirou who was subdued by Ye Yuan suddenly had her momentum weakened considerably.


    "How would I know? If we really come across it, then just drop everything and run! As for how far we can run, it will be up to our capabilities. Well, this is my affair, no need to drag you into this. Why don''t you stay instead?" Ye Yuan said very irresponsibly.


    "No way! I promised aunty to protect you. I can''t watch you take risks alone!" Feng Zhirou was very resolute on the matter.


    "Haha, then thank you so much, Senior Apprentice Sister. If we really run into the Ape King, to have a great beauty like Senior Apprentice Sister accompany me along the Yellow Springs, it''s also a beautiful thing!" Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    Feng Zhirou suddenly felt like she was duped. But the words already came out of her mouth, so she did not intend to take them back. She just rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and said, "Enough crap, quickly go!"


    Due to the fear of alerting the Long-arm Stone apes, the two walked very slowly. Only after two hours did they gradually fumbled their way to the summit with scares but without danger.


    The summit was an open space. The Long-arm Stone Apes already cleared it out.


    Arriving at the summit, there were many more night-patrol Long-arm Stone Apes. And from the looks of the aura coming off of their bodies, there were even quite a few Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes among them.


    It looked like that Ape King was definitely on this summit.


    "So many Long-arm Stone Apes. What to do?" Feng Zhirou asked rather anxiously.


    Ye Yuan swept a gaze across this open field and transmitted his voice, "See that small hill in the distance? There''s a cave up there. If my speculation is right, that Ape King should be inside that cave. In the entire summit, the place with the thickest Crimson Xiang Soil is on that small hill. The Crimson Soul Grass should be there!"


    "Ah? Is-Isn''t that very dangerous? Right now, we are at the summit. The moment we''re discovered by the Ape King, then we won''t even have the chance to escape!" Feng Zhirou said worriedly.


    "Mm, it''s indeed quite dangerous. But I also have to go no matter how dangerous it is! Without the Crimson Soul Grass, Lu-er definitely won''t make it."


    Seeing Ye Yuan risk his life for a maidservant, Feng Zhirou was also deeply touched.


    Such an affectionate and faithful man, there really isn''t many in this world!


    Normally, Ye Yuan appeared to be cheeky and frivolous. But, when it really came down to the eleventh hour, he was highly reliable.


    "Then, what should we do?" Feng Zhirou kept away her nervousness and resolved to cooperate with Ye Yuan to harvest the Crimson Soul Grass.


    Ye Yuan observed for a while and then said, "Have you noticed that there aren''t any Long-arm Stone Apes patrolling around the vicinity of that small hill?"


    Feng Zhirou looked towards that small hill and found that that was really the case!


    "Behind the small hill is a cliff. We''ll circle over there and scale up the cliff! As long as we don''t startle the Ape King, the possibility of us getting away is still very huge," Ye Yuan said.


    "C-Can this work? We have to pass by that cave if we''re climbing from the cliff."


    "I don''t really care anymore. At this point, we can only take our chances and give it a shot. Before long, day will break. Once dawn comes, we will have even less of a chance!" Ye Yuan made up his mind.


    Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Later, you go and find the Crimson Soul Grass. I''ll keep a lookout for you!"

 Chapter 134: Goodbye, Ye Yuan!

    Chapter 134: Goodbye, Ye Yuan!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou avoided the night-patrolling Long-arm Stone Apes and circled around to the cliff area.


    This cliff was virtually perpendicular to the ground. The distance from the top of the cliff to the place she and Ye Yuan were standing at was a full thousand feet tall!


    "Ye Yuan, this cliff is so high. Can you make it?" Feng Zhirou asked Ye Yuan rather worriedly.


    Scaling heights was completely different from using movement techniques on the flat ground. When one was ascending heights, they had to shake off the gravity from the Earth. Using movement techniques had a huge burden on martial artists.


    After all, even if it were Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, they also could not soar in the skies.


    Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists still had the advantage. But it was practically impossible for Essence Qi Realm martial artists to scale a thousand feet cliff.


    Firstly, the essence energy of Essence Qi Realm martial artists could not bear the consumption of a thousand feet distance. Secondly, Tier 1 movement techniques were insufficient to support martial artists to scale a thousand feet.


    "What do you mean ''Can you make it?'' Take away that question mark. Of course I can!" Ye Yuan said without any care.


    "But . . . the top of the cliff is a full thousand feet away from us here!"


    "Isn''t it just a thousand feet? You go first, Senior Apprentice Sister; I''ll follow! We''re already here. I can''t keep dragging Senior Apprentice Sister down!" Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    No matter how Ye Yuan said it, it sounded like he was going beyond his means in order to look impressive. If he were to climb halfway and fall because his essence energy was unable to support him, that would not be fun.


    This cliff was a full thousand feet away from the ground. One misstep and his life would be guaranteed gone.


    "There''s really no problem?" Feng Zhirou asked suspiciously.


    "Of course there''s no problem! When have I disappointed Senior Apprentice Sister before?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Feng Zhirou thought about it. It seemed like Ye Yuan was really a freak and it appeared like there had never been anything he could not do before. Perhaps he could really make it?


    "Fine, then I''ll make a move first!"


    Feng Zhirou nodded, and she tiptoed lightly, bounding on the cliff.


    Feng Zhirou''s body was light as a swallow. The sheer precipice which appeared to be beyond reach was akin to walking on flat ground to her.


    Her movement technique was the high-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Spiritual Swallow Dance. It was originally famed for its light, graceful movement and speed. It was very suited to be used to scale this cliff.


    Only to see that she either tiptoed or lightly tapped occasionally with her sword scabbard on the cliff. Her entire person shot up the cliff with extreme speed and in a blink of an eye, she crossed over 200 feet in distance.


    However, the higher Feng Zhirou climbed, the further her heart fell. Because she could not sense Ye Yuan''s presence!


    Feng Zhirou could not sense a single bit of sound from below her!


    Did Ye Yuan not move yet, or did he . . . fall down already?


    Feng Zhirou really wanted to tilt her head down to see if Ye Yuan was there or not, but climbing the cliff was also not a relaxed matter for her. How could she have spare energy to bend down and look for Ye Yuan?


    If Ye Yuan still had not moved yet, could it be that he was intentionally playing with her?


    Impossible! There was no way that Ye Yuan would be so bored to that extent!


    Did he . . . fall down already? But without even making any sound?


    The more her imaginations ran wild, the more anxious Feng Zhirou got. The actions of her movement technique also became somewhat erratic.


    Skid!


    While Feng Zhirou was restless, her feet slipped and did not give support!


    In a blink, Feng Zhirou''s figure fell sharply.


    "Careful, Senior Apprentice Sister!"


    Just then, Feng Zhirou suddenly received Ye Yuan''s voice transmission.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was actually following closely behind her all along!


    But right now, Feng Zhirou already had nowhere to borrow strength from, unless she used her sword to stab into the cliff.


    But that way, the impact of the sword and the cliff would surely give off an ear-piercing sound. The whole mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes would be alarmed.


    Even if they could ascend the cliff, they would also be unable to escape death.


    Hence, in an instant, Feng Zhirou gave up on saving herself and allowed herself to plummet down the cliff!


    She decided to take a look at Ye Yuan before dying. After she died, there probably would not be anyone constantly bickering with him anymore, right?


    However, she did not manage to see Ye Yuan, because when she had just slid down around 20 feet or so, she felt a palm lightly supporting from beneath her feet!


    It was this support which allowed her body to go back on the right track once again!


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, you go up first. I''ll follow right after!" Practically at the same time, Ye Yuan transmitted his voice over.


    Feng Zhirou knew that this was Ye Yuan saving her. But . . . having suffered such an impact, could Ye Yuan still survive? She could even hear the sound of the wind rushing as Ye Yuan descended sharply.


    Not knowing why, Feng Zhirou had an impulse to cry currently.


    Yet, she knew that she could not waste this chance Ye Yuan risked his life to exchange. Hence, her toes tapped downward, using the momentum to execute the Spiritual Swallow Dance, and headed up the cliff speedily.


    Feng Zhirou forcefully chased away all the thoughts in her head and focused her mind on climbing the cliff!


    To the Feng Zhirou who discarded her distracting thoughts, scaling this thousand feet precipice was not a tough matter.


    Before long, Feng Zhirou saw the top of the cliff. Her toe tapped on the cliff one last time, and her entire person flew up the cliff like a swallow.


    But at this moment, Feng Zhirou did not have the slightest joy from conquering the cliff. She slumped on the ground, her heart feeling like a knife was twisting in.


    Feng Zhirou, it''s all your fault! You caused Ye Yuan to die! Sniff, sniff . . .


    Feng Zhirou sobbed lightly but did not dare to make any sound. She used her hands to cover her mouth as she just convulsed there.


    Tears cascaded down from the corner of her eyes and drifted down the cliff along with the wind.


    Feng Zhirou, the one who should have died was you! Why you are still alive now, but Ye Yuan''s dead?!


    Feng Zhirou, why couldn''t you have been nicer to Ye Yuan normally? He clearly helped you out a lot, but why can''t you swallow your pride to say thanks?


    Ye Yuan, I''m sorry, sorry, sorry . . .


    Feng Zhirou kept on blaming herself in her heart, but she knew that Ye Yuan would never hear it.


    Although Ye Yuan voice transmitted earlier that he would follow right after, Feng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan definitely only said that to console her.


    Under the impact of her plummeting down the cliff, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to have any chances of survival.


    Even with her Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength and high-grade Tier 2 movement technique, it was also impossible to survive under those conditions, much less Ye Yuan who was only still at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    Feng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan''s Instant Flash was already trained to an extremely profound level. But that was still a Tier 1 movement technique after all. How was it possible to negate such a large impact power?


    I''m sorry, Ye Yuan! I won''t die! I''m going to finish your dying wish! I''m going to find the Crimson Soul Grass and other herbs! I''ll return to the State of Qin and request for Lord Wu Daofeng to help Lu-er refine the Essence Yang Pill! If Lord Wu Daofeng can''t refine it, then I''ll go outside to look for even more amazing alchemists. No matter what, I''ll definitely find a way to let Lu-er survive! Feng Zhirou silently swore.


    Finishing, Feng Zhirou forcefully roused her spirit and stood up, preparing to seek out the Crimson Soul Grass.


    Feng Zhirou looked at the pitch black cliff, and her tears started flowing once again uncontrollably.


    Goodbye, Ye Yuan!


    Sayin this in her heart, Feng Zhirou turned around and prepared to leave.


    But right then, Feng Zhirou suddenly heard wind rushing sounds coming from below the cliff. It seemed there was something moving!

 Chapter 135: Discovered!

    Chapter 135: Discovered!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "No way! This . . . How''s this possible? Could it be a hallucination?"


    Feng Zhirou felt that she just heard an indistinct sound. It should be a hallucination because the probability of Ye Yuan surviving was really not great.


    "But if it''s a hallucination, why is the sound getting louder? Could it . . . Could it be . . ."


    Just as Feng Zhirou was completely dazed, a figure darted up from the pitch black cliff!


    Seeing the figure, Feng Zhirou was stunned there as tears burst forth from her eyes.


    "Great! Great! He''s fine! He''s really fine!" Feng Zhirou shouted in her heart.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, I . . ."


    Ye Yuan only voice transmitted a few words before noticing a light blue mass pouncing on him and hugging him.


    That faint fragrance wafted into his nose, involuntarily shaking up Ye Yuan''s mind.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re really alright. Excellent! It''s really great!" Feng Zhirou transmitted as her tears flowed silently.


    This feeling of holding a beauty in one''s embrace was truly something that all men desired!


    However, this was not the time to be immersed in affection. They had to quickly look for the Crimson Soul Grass.


    Feng Zhirou clearly also noticed her discomposure and hastily released Ye Yuan. She wiped the tears from the corner of her years and said, "You . . . Don''t misunderstood. I just . . . I just thought that you died because of saving me . . . That''s . . . That''s why I was like that."


    Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately broke into a smile. "What happened just now? Why can''t I remember anything? Senior Apprentice Sister, I''m exhausted. Let''s recuperate for a while and then go find the Crimson Soul Grass."


    "En . . ."


    Ye Yuan''s condition at the moment was not good. His essence energy was virtually depleted completely.


    If not for the fact the thickness of his essence energy greatly surpassed those of the same rank, most likely, he would have burned out and died.


    The expenditure of the duo was not minor. They each consumed a medicinal pill and adjusted for some time before recovering some strength.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, there''s no time to lose. Let''s hurry up and look for the Crimson Soul Grass."


    "En, let''s go."


    Finishing, the pair descended side by side.


    Along the way, Feng Zhirou was relatively silent, significantly different from usual.


    "Ye Yuan, you . . . How did you come up? I . . . I didn''t mean that . . . I . . . I . . ."


    It was still Feng Zhirou who broke the silence first. She simply could not suppress her curiosity.


    Except that her attitude when asking the question was completely different from usual, rather like a little wife instead.


    Ye Yuan knew that Feng Zhirou was still feeling awkward, so he smiled lightly and said, "I know that Senior Apprentice Sister didn''t mean that. But I''m rather surprised, how come Senior Apprentice Sister fumbled?"


    Feng Zhirou''s face turned red as she said with embarrassment, "Actually, I . . . I thought that you couldn''t keep up, so . . ."


    Ye Yuan only came to a realization after hearing Feng Zhirou say that. So she actually caused such a blunder because she was worried about him.


    Initially, he found it weird too. With Feng Zhirou''s base, it should have been impossible to make such a mistake.


    Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart. His bad impression towards Feng Zhirou in the past also pretty much dissipated.


    "Hur hur, so Senior Apprentice Sister thought I fell down. Senior Apprentice Sister look down on me too much."


    "T-That''s not my intention. It''s just . . . It''s just . . ."


    "En, why didn''t Senior Apprentice Sister think about it? My Master is so amazing, how could it be possible to not leave behind some impressive movement techniques for me? When I was battling with Lin Tiancheng, I could already sense that Instant Flash was lacking. After breaking through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, my essence energy is barely enough to cultivate Tier 2 martial arts already. I naturally have to supplement this weak point," Ye Yuan explained.


    Feng Zhirou was suddenly enlightened. "So, that''s the case! I''ve never seen you use other movement techniques before, hence . . ."


    "En, I understand. Thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister!"


    This thanks came sincerely from Ye Yuan.


    Although Feng Zhirou''s blunder gave Ye Yuan quite a bit of trouble and even nearly cost him his life, it arose from concern towards him.


    In reality, the new movement technique Ye Yuan cultivated was not a Tier 2 movement martial technique. Ye Yuan really did not possess such a low-grade movement martial technique.


    However, his essence energy was barely enough to reach the level to cultivate Tier 2 martial techniques. Ye Yuan naturally had to compensate for his lacking movement technique.


    The name of the movement technique he cultivated was called Spirit Void Shattering Space. This movement technique did not have a specific tier, because it could be cultivated continuously in later realms.


    At the Spirit Condensation Realm, one could cultivate the first level of the Spirit Void Shattering Space. The thickness of Ye Yuan''s essence energy was already not beneath half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, although barely enough to reach this threshold.


    Although the skill that Ye Yuan selected so prudently was only at the first level, its might was extremely formidable.


    Even though it was just Entry stage, it was no problem for Ye Yuan to keep up with Feng Zhirou.


    As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan had been maintaining the same pace as Feng Zhirou just now; not too fast nor too slow. Hence, Feng Zhirou could not detect his presence.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not expect Feng Zhirou to actually misunderstand because of this and nearly slipped up and fell down the cliff.


    . . . . . .


    The pair avoided that cave from far away and searched for traces of the Crimson Soul Grass from top to bottom.


    Due to the fact that the range of sight was very limited at night, the pair searched very meticulously. But after searching for a long time, they still did not find a trace of the Crimson Soul Grass.


    The two spent close to two hours and virtually searched through the entire hill, but they still did not find the Crimson Soul Grass.


    "Ye Yuan, do you think the Crimson Soul Grass is . . ." Feng Zhirou transmitted her voice as she looked towards that cave.


    Presently, only the area where the cave was located had not been searched. If this hilltop had Crimson Soul Grasses, it could only be there.


    And currently, dawn was about to break. If they still could not find the Crimson Soul Grass, the two would be in danger.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "80% chance it''s in that region. Looks like we still have to go over there eventually! Wait for me here, Senior Apprentice Sister. I''ll be back soon."


    How could Feng Zhirou comply? She stubbornly said, "No way! If you want to go, we''ll go together! I promised aunty to protect you. How can I let you take the risk alone?"


    Ye Yuan could not persuade her, so he could only say, "Fine then. But once there''s any situation, immediately run!"


    Feng Zhirou nodded and slowly combed their way over to the cave''s vicinity.


    As the pair gradually got closer to the cave, they felt a powerful aura undulating from inside the cave.


    "Quickly look, Ye Yuan! Isn''t that the Crimson Soul Grass?" Feng Zhirou suddenly discovered something and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan as she transmitted.


    Ye Yuan looked over to where Feng Zhirou was pointing at, and as expected, he saw several stalks of crimson-colored, serrated edged tiny grass. If that was not Crimson Soul Grass, that what was?


    After going through many hardships and finding the Crimson Soul Grass, even Ye Yuan with his Heart Like Still Water was quite excited right now.


    Even though he prepared so many items painstakingly for the Crimson Summit Ridge, he also undertook extremely huge risk.


    No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he was merely but an Essence Qi Realm martial artist. There was naturally no need to mention the risks he braved when facing pairs of Tier 2 demonic beasts and even Tier 3 demonic beasts.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to Feng Zhirou, "I''ll go and retrieved those stalks of Crimson Soul Grass. After I''m done, we''ll leave this place at maximum speed!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan fully executed his first level Spirit Void Shattering Space, turning into an afterimage flickering towards the Crimson Soul Grass.


    "Howl! Howl!"


    Just then, several ape cries sounded. Ye Yuan''s and Feng Zhirou''s complexion changed drastically at the same time!

 Chapter 136: Enigmatic Man!

    Chapter 136: Enigmatic Man!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Following several ape howls, a feeling of extreme danger surged up in Ye Yuan''s heart!


    This feeling of danger made Ye Yuan''s scalp tingled.


    He knew that if he were to take another step forward, he would definitely invoke a calamity!


    The next instant, Ye Yuan explosively retreated even faster than when he came!


    "Go, Senior Apprentice Sister!"


    Ye Yuan chose to retreat without any hesitation. That was a Tier 3 demonic beast. It could eradicate the two of them with just a single strike.


    Feng Zhirou evidently also sensed that something was not right. Without waiting for Ye Yuan''s warning, she displayed her Spirit Swallow Dance and rushed down the mountain with astonishing speed.


    Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan, one in front and the other behind, sprinted down the mountain frenziedly. Nevertheless, this process only lasted several breaths of time before the two figures stopped abruptly.


    "Careful, Senior Apprentice Sister!" Ye Yuan yelled out anxiously.


    Virtually the same instant Ye Yuan yelled, a white figure taller than a person shot out from diagonally, and actually reached first even though it moved later, and caught up to Feng Zhirou in a flash!


    Facing this aura which was powerful to the extreme, Feng Zhirou''s complexion turned pale. How could she be bothered to resist? She instantly retreated explosively.


    However, when compared to that white figure, Feng Zhirou''s speed was too slow!


    In a blur, Feng Zhirou saw a colossal ape paw slapping down towards herself!


    "Ahh!"


    Panicking, Feng Zhirou raised her hand to randomly strike with her sword and then shut her eyes in fright.


    This Tier 3 demonic beast was too strong. It was simply not what she could stand up to.


    It''s over! This was Feng Zhirou''s final thought.


    Swoosh!


    Nine streaks of sword beams brushed past Feng Zhirou and attacked from the sides. They converged from different locations and attacked the lower abdomen of that Long-arm Stone Ape!


    Ye Yuan unleased the Nine Swords Stance straight away!


    It was different from the previous time''s disorderly attack. This time, the nine streaks of sword beams finally converged together. Ye Yuan''s control over the sword beams once again advanced to another level!


    This was also Ye Yuan''s supernormal performance in a moment of desperation. If he really unleashed the sword another time, he might not be able to do it.


    The nine afterimages of the Nine Swords Stance were not phantoms, but corporeal bodies!


    This first stance of the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art was Ye Yuan gathering the forces of the two types of sword intent and evolved further from the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword''s extreme speed movements!


    Every single attack was released personally by him!


    Except, that instantaneous speed was too swift, so it looked as if it was released from nine different locations.


    Nine swords merged into one. The attack power would naturally be incomparably formidable! But, this should be insufficient to injure the Tier 3 Ape King.


    However, that Ape King actually chose to evade the sword beams!


    With a swoosh, after the nine streaks of sword beams merged, it followed the original path it flew over from and vanished by fading into the world.


    It took time to describe, but all of these actually just happened in a flash.


    From Ye Yuan''s explosive retreat to the duo''s frenzied flight, and to the Ape King attacking Feng Zhirou, and then to Ye Yuan rescuing Feng Zhirou by besieging the Ape King, it was all but a few short breaths of time.


    At this time, that Ape King stood several dozen feet away from Feng Zhirou. Ye Yuan similarly stood several dozen feet away from Feng Zhirou, while Feng Zhirou had her eyes shut waiting for the Ape King''s paw to strike down.


    The two humans and one beast actually entered a stalemate!


    "W-what happened? Y-Ye Yuan, did you save me?" Feng Zhirou recovered from her surprise and stared at Ye Yuan as she asked hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan did not bother with her and kept staring at the Ape King in the distance.


    Tier 3 Ape King was too terrifying. It could virtually instant-kill the two of them. Just now, Ye Yuan could save Feng Zhirou because of special conditions which allowed him to complete an impossible task.


    The Ape King felt that Feng Zhirou''s strength was slightly stronger and had more threat, so it chose to do a surprise attack on her right away.


    And Ye Yuan happened to be some distance away from Feng Zhirou. The Ape King could not possibly attack the two of them at the same time, which gave Ye Yuan the opportunity to launch an attack unhurriedly.


    The reason why the Ape King chose to keep a distance was because the place Ye Yuan attacked was precisely the weak point of the Long-arm Stone Apes! Ye Yuan''s attack this time was accurate to the extreme.


    If the Ape King forcefully took this stance head-on, it would probably already be heavily injured right now.


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s cultivation, no matter how strong the attack was, it would be impossible to cause major injuries to the Ape King.


    But in reality, if the Ape King attacked at the risk of getting injured, Feng Zhirou would already be an ice-cold corpse now.


    As for why Ye Yuan''s surprise attack worked, it was because the Ape King overly underestimated the two of them. That led to it revealing its weak point.


    If the Ape King attacked once more, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou would die without question!


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not dare to let down his guard this whole time and firmly locked his attention onto the Ape King.


    That Ape King clearly also did not think that a puny little Essence Qi Realm martial artist would actually be even more threatening than that Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm woman!


    After one attack, the Ape King spontaneously sized up Ye Yuan.


    The ape stared at Ye Yuan without showing any signs of its emotion.


    Seeing Ye Yuan ignore her, Feng Zhirou also did not dare to act rashly at this time. She was stuck between the two of them feeling completely awkward.


    However, no matter how foolish she was, she also knew that her life was picked up just now. No matter how she thought, she never imagined that Ye Yuan, an Essence Qi Realm martial artist, could actually threaten the Crystal Formation Realm Ape King!


    This was too inconceivable!


    Just now, she was somewhat flustered and did not form an effective attack. But even if she gave it her all, the result would still be being smacked to death from a single slap by the Ape King.


    She was all too clear on this point!


    In that instant, the might of the Ape King had smothered her!


    But Ye Yuan could actually save her from under the Ape King''s hands!


    Just several breaths of time but Feng Zhirou felt like as long as several years had passed.


    Her forehead exuded fine sweat beads. Each breath from the Ape King made her feel deeply uneasy.


    Feng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan''s appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy and understood that the scenario earlier was probably very unlikely to reenact.


    But what should she do?


    Just as Feng Zhirou was lost in her imaginations, the Ape King made a move once again!


    But Ye Yuan did not move!


    Just as the Ape King moved, a series of gibberish sounds came out of Ye Yuan''s mouth. Feng Zhirou completely could not understand what he was talking about.


    What was Ye Yuan doing? Could it be that he wanted to communicate with the Ape King? But how could the Ape King understand Ye Yuan''s words?


    As the State of Qin''s princess, Feng Zhirou could be counted as being experienced and knowledgeable. However, she had never heard of humans being able to communicate with demonic beasts!


    There were too many species of demonic beasts, so many that it was uncountable. The language used by each species of demonic beasts was not the same. How could humans grasp it?


    However, at this important juncture of life and death, would Ye Yuan do this sort of futile actions?


    Feng Zhirouo''s eyes involuntarily turned to the Ape King and could not help widening her eyes.


    The Ape King who was already prepared to unleash its attack really stopped its actions!


    This . . . was simply too miraculous!


    A human could actually communicate with demonic beasts!


    Feng Zhirou discovered that the more she interacted with Ye Yuan, the more she felt that there were increasingly more mysteries to Ye Yuan.


    Was Ye Yuan who was just 15 years old really taught by that so-called master of his?


    Such an enigmatic man!

 Chapter 137: Demon Crystal Pill!

    Chapter 137: Demon Crystal Pill!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seeing the Ape King cease its movement, Ye Yuan also let out a huge sigh of relief. His entire body was feeling like collapsing.


    Although he had forcefully pretended to be composed the whole time, the pressure from the aura of a Tier 3 demonic beast was no joke.


    This Ape King was not those sort of half-baked half-step Crystal Formation Realm like Su Yubai, but a genuine Tier 3 demonic beast! An existence equivalent to a human Crystal Formation Realm!


    No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, it was impossible to cross two major realms and defeat his opponent.


    It was already very heaven-defying for an Essence Qi Realm martial artist''s attack to be able to threaten a Tier 3 demonic beast.


    His gibberish just now was already Ye Yuan''s final trump card. If even this trump card had no effect, then he would really die here.


    But luckily, those words from Ye Yuan was not playing the lute to an ape. This Ape King really understood!


    What Ye Yuan said was the universal beast language. It was the demon race''s universal language collectively set by the Divine Realm demon race powerhouses countless years ago. The goal was to allow communication among the demon race.


    There were countless races in the demon race. None of the individual races could be on par with the human race.


    To allow the demon race to be able to ally together to resist the human race, the demon race powerhouses in ancient times collectively set down a series of measures. And this universal beast language was one of them!


    After countless generations passed, the universal beast language already became the inherited memories of each race, passing down from generation to generation.


    If this Ape King did not awaken its inherited memories, then Ye Yuan would really be playing the lute to an ape!


    The stone ape clan had once birthed an extremely heaven-defying existence, Equals Heaven Saint Ape. That was a Deity Realm expert!


    Even though it was passed down through the generations, the Endless World''s stone ape bloodline had already become very thin. But awakening a portion of inherited memories was still doable.


    It would be very tough for ordinary Ape Soldiers and Ape Generals to awaken their inherited memories, but there was still the likelihood of this Ape King awakening them.


    What Ye Yuan said earlier was, "Senior Ape King, wait a moment!"


    The Ape King was clearly very surprised. A human actually knew the universal beast language.


    The Ape King discovered that this human youth seemed to be extraordinary. Not only was he extremely strong, he even knew the universal beast language!


    Even he himself only learned the universal beast language after awakening his inherited memories.


    The Ape King also started using the universal beast language to communicate with Ye Yuan. "Brat, the two of you trespassed my territory and stole the Crimson Soul Grass. How do you plan to plead?!"


    Since this Ape King was willing to talk, Ye Yuan was not too worried.


    He gave a bow towards the Ape King and said, "Please forgive me, Senior Ape King. This junior came to seek out the Crimson Soul Grass because I really have no other alternatives. This junior has a close friend who possesses the Nine Yin Absolute Meridians. Now, seeing as the frost poison is about to erupt, she desperately needs the Crimson Soul Grass to save her life. I hope that Senior Ape King can be generous!"


    "What has it got to do with me if your friend is in trouble? I also have great use for these Crimson Soul Grass. How can I give it to you so easily? Ignoring this point, just the fact that you barged into my territory, you can forget about leaving today!"


    The Ape King was not some living bodhisattva. It obviously could not be bothered with a stranger''s life or death.


    If not for the fact it found Ye Yuan rather interesting, it would have long smacked him to death with one palm. Why would it talk so much crap with him?


    After the Ape King finishing talking, it howled a few times. Immediately, a bunch of Long-arm Stone Apes surrounded them. They were shockingly all late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts!


    Feng Zhirou was alarmed after seeing the situation and hurriedly scooted over to Ye Yuan''s side.


    Just an Ape King could already take their lives. What could they do with so many late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts surrounding them?


    "Ye Yuan, you can really talk with that Ape King?" Feng Zhirou said softly.


    Ye Yuan nodded. "Luckily, the Ape King awakened its inherited memories and learned the universal beast language. Otherwise, we would be dead for sure! Back then when Master taught me the universal beast language, I objected to it. I didn''t think that it would really be put to good use."


    Ye Yuan also knew that communicating with demonic beasts was incredibly shocking, so he just pushed this responsibility onto his Master.


    Feng Zhirou looked at the enclosing Long-arm Stone Apes and smiled bitterly. "In this current situation, we''re still dead for sure."


    Ye Yuan smiled and then said, "That might not be the case! If the Ape King had not awakened its inherited memories, then nothing can be discussed. But since he awakened it, not only do we not have to die, we might even be able to take the Crimson Soul Grass and leave!"


    "Stop joking! You just said a whole bunch to it just now, but not only did its attitude not turn for the better, it even summoned such a large group of late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts over. How can it let us leave alive?" Feng Zhirou said dejectedly.


    Indeed, being walled in by a large group of late-stage Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, the pressure they faced was not much lesser than facing the Ape King.


    Luckily, these Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes did not receive the order to attack. Or else, the two of them would probably be meat paste by now.


    "Heh heh, just watch me!" Ye Yuan chuckled and said.


    "The two of you chattering over there, ready to die yet? You humans hunt down us demon race every day. Now, we''ll also let you experience the taste of being hunted," the Ape King said and grunted coldly.


    Although he said it very savagely, it did not order those Ape Generals to attack,


    Ye Yuan took two steps forward and said to the Ape King with a smile, "Senior Ape King won''t kill me!"


    "What a joke! Why won''t I kill you? Just because you know the universal beast language? Aren''t you overestimating yourself too much, brat?"


    "Hur hur, Senior Ape King said wrongly. It''s not me who''s overrating myself, but you who are underestimating me!"


    At this stage, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pretend to be subservient anymore. He might as well show off a fearless appearance.


    How could it be that he, an exalted Alchemy Emperor, could not even handle a Tier 3 demonic beast?


    The Ape King involuntarily burst into laughter when it heard Ye Yuan''s words. Except that a stone ape laughing so boisterously made one''s hair stand on its ends.


    "Brat, you''re really a newborn calf who isn''t scared of the tiger! Looking at your bone age, you''re at most 15 to 16 years old. Such a young age, how do you expect me to attach importance to you?"


    Ye Yuan simply chuckled and did not have any intentions of refuting. He just lightly spat out three words from his mouth.


    "Demon . . . Crystal . . . Pill!"


    The face of the Ape King who was originally still laughing its head off suddenly changed. A pair of enormous ape eyes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    That manner looked as if it wanted to eat Ye Yuan.


    "Brat, your family''s elders know how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill?" The Ape King enunciated each word carefully.


    It was enough to tell from its attitude just how important this Demon Crystal Pill was to it.


    Although Feng Zhirou did not know what they were talking about, from the Ape King''s condition that Ye Yuan had successfully hooked the Ape King''s appetite. So she could not help looking forward to it.


    The Ape King was entirely certain that Ye Yuan would nod his head and acknowledge. Who would have thought that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nope."


    The Ape King instantly flew into a rage when he heard that. "Brat, you dare to make a fool out of this king?! Do you believe that this king will swallow you alive?!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "After swallowing me, you''ll probably also stop at the initial-stage Tier 3 your entire life. No matter how many more Crimson Soul Grass you eat, it will be futile."


    Ye Yuan stood in front of the Ape King with his hands behind his back without the slightest trace of fear.

    "Hur hur, such an audacious tone! You, an Essence Qi Realm brat, actually dares to talk wildly about this king''s limits!" The Ape King sneered.


    Ye Yuan did not mind the Ape King''s attitude. He already knew that the Ape King was already interested.


    Otherwise, with him strutting around so arrogantly in front of the Ape King, it would have slapped him to death with one palm long ago.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "I''m afraid that Senior Ape King is much clearer on where your own limits are than I am. Senior Ape King knows yourself whether or not what I said was right. If you feel like I''m bragging, you can completely kill me right now. Either way, it''s just a matter of lifting your hands for you."


    Now that Ye Yuan said that, the Ape King went silent instead.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, the Ape King itself knew best just where its limits were.


    Without some fortuitous lucky encounter, it would be very hard to break through to the middle-stage Tier 3 in its lifetime.


    Demonic beasts were stronger than humans at the same rank and also had a much greater lifespan than the latter. This was where their strengths were.


    Nevertheless, when compared to humans, the limitations were also very huge.


    Their intelligence was very low, and their cultivation mostly relied on instincts. Hence, progress was very slow.


    And the difficulty of them breaking through realms was also much harder than humans.


    To human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, each breakthrough in a minor realm was tremendously tough. But to demonic beasts, the difficulty of breaking through a stage was even greater!


    The Ape King''s current strength was roughly around a human Third Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    The difficulty was already very huge for human martial artists to cross this small step. To the Ape King, it was naturally doubly difficult.


    Hence, while Ye Yuan''s words might sound wildly conceited, it was truthfully not a false statement just to raise alarm.


    The Ape King was naturally crystal clear on this point.


    And the Demon Crystal Pill was precisely a medicinal pill which could aid Tier 3 demonic beasts to breakthrough a minor realm!


    The Ape King had awakened a part of its inherited memories, and within this portion of inherited memories, there was the description of the Demon Crystal Pill.


    It was just that even if the Ape King knew about the Demon Crystal Pill, it was impossible to refine it.


    While refining medicinal pill was not a right that was exclusive to humans, human alchemists were way more powerful than the demon races''.


    Furthermore, it was simply impossible for these sort of low tier demonic beasts like the Ape King to refine medicinal pill. What they could do was only to beg human alchemists to help them refine.


    But how many human Alchemy Grandmasters knew how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill? Even if they knew how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill, how many were able to communicate with the Ape King?


    If the two parties encountered each other, it would already be pretty good if they did not have a life and death struggle.


    One had to know that the inner core of the Ape King was also a pretty decent alchemy ingredient!


    "Brat, your family''s elders don''t know how to refine it, but you mentioned the Demon Crystal Pill to this king. Isn''t this messing with me? If you don''t give me a justifiable explanation, you can forget about leaving here alive!"


    While the Ape King''s words were callous, there still existed a trace of expectation. Or else, how could he talk so nicely with Ye Yuan here?


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I already said just now that Senior Ape King is looking down on me. I only said that my family''s elders don''t know how to refine it, but I didn''t say that I don''t know how to refine it!"


    The Ape King started to suspect that it heard wrongly. "You? You, an Essence Qi Realm brat, refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill? This king might not be knowledgeable about alchemy, but I also won''t make such a na?ve mistake and fall for your trick! You''ve been going in circles for half the day, aren''t you just hoping that I would let the two of you go? But since you have the guts to play tricks on this king, then forget about leaving."


    The Ape King''s patience had clearly already reached its limits. It waved its paw and prepared to let those Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes attack Ye Yuan jointly.


    Feng Zhirou jumped in fright when she saw the situation. She knew that Ye Yuan and the Ape King''s talk had fallen apart, and immediately raised her sword to prepare to face the enemies.


    However, Ye Yuan pressed on her sword and looked at the Ape King unhurriedly, saying, "Senior Ape King don''t know alchemy, but do you know the grading among human alchemists?"


    "Of course I know it! But don''t you dare tell me that you, an Essence Qi Realm martial artist, is an Alchemy Grandmaster."


    Ye Yuan took off the alchemist badge on his chest and tossed it over to the Ape King, saying, "This badge is issued by the Alchemy Association to alchemists. There''s my personal information inside it. Senior Ape King just have to insert essence energy into the badge, and you''ll naturally understand."


    Though the Ape King did not feel that Ye Yuan had the ability to refine the Demon Crystal Pill, it felt that he also could not play any tricks, so it inserted a wisp of essence energy into the badge, and Ye Yuan''s information instantly surfaced inside his mind.


    "Low-rank Alchemy Master? Essence Qi Realm low-rank Alchemy Master?" The Ape King looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    The Ape King was an old demon who had lived for several hundred years. It still knew a little about the grading among human alchemists.


    Under normal circumstances, the alchemist grade corresponded with the martial artist''s strength. Rarely would there appear Essence Qi Realm Alchemy Masters or Spirit Condensation Realm Alchemy Grandmasters


    One could tell from this that this youth''s alchemy standards were rather high. No wonder he dared to be so rampant!


    But . . . so what?


    "You''re just an Alchemy Master and even a low-rank Alchemy Master who just passed the Alchemist Association''s test not long ago. Don''t tell me that you can refine the Demon Crystal Pill now!" Ape King threw the badge back to Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan caught the badge and pinned it on. He looked at the Ape King and stretched out a finger, saying, "One year! Within a year, I''ll definitely give Senior Ape King a Demon Crystal Pill!"


    "One year? How''s that possible? Brat, don''t think that this king is easy to hoodwink. Regardless of how glib your tongue is, you can forget about leaving here today!" the Ape King said disdainfully.


    A low-rank Alchemy Master refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill within a year?


    This king might have read very few books, but don''t deceive this king!


    However, Ye Yuan just said with a cold smile, "To think that you awakened inherited memories in vain. You''re just an ignorant ape."


    "What did you say? Do you believe that this king will kill you immediately?!" The Ape King could not help exploding in anger after hearing Ye Yuan''s words.


    "Isn''t it so? What you can''t do, doesn''t mean that others can''t! Things that you don''t understand don''t mean that they don''t exist! Back in those days, Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape only used two years to go from Tier 1 to Tier 3! How do you know that I can''t refine Tier 3 medicinal pill within a year? To think that the descendant of Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape who had the Divine Realm at his beck and call would actually be ignorant to such an extent. Lamentable, oh how pitiable!" Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed.


    "Brat, you actually dare to compare yourself to Equal Heaven Old Ancestor?! Truly unaware of the immensity of Heaven and Earth! Equals Heaven Old Ancestor is a Deity Realm expert. How can an ant like you compare?!" The Ape King said furiously.


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Are aristocrats born nobler than others? Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape did not grow up in the Divine Realm but rose to power in the lower realms. Back then, wasn''t there also people who said that he didn''t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth? Truthfully telling you, refining the Demon Crystal Pill is but an effortless matter for me. It''s just that my current realm is insufficient, that''s why I can''t refine it. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm within a year is a breeze to me. That''s all I have to say. Talking anymore won''t help. If Senior Ape King doesn''t believe my words, then make a move right now."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around and really just ignored the Ape King.


    The Ape King stared at Ye Yuan and was at a loss on what to do for a moment . . .

 Chapter 139: The Tides Turn!

    Chapter 139: The Tides Turn!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan''s words were indeed incomparably rampant. No matter how it sounded, it just seemed like big talk.


    What kind of existence was the Equals Heaven Saint Ape?


    That was a Deity Realm existence!


    In this era where the Deity Realm was lost, the bright halo of those former Deity Realm experts appeared to be even more dazzling and legendary.


    A native of the Endless World actually dared to compare himself to Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. Just how much dauntless courage was needed?!


    To the stone ape clan, Equals Heaven Old Ancestor was a totem-like being; an existence that brooks no blasphemy!


    This comparison by Ye Yuan truly angered the Ape King!


    However, what surprised the Ape King was that this original inhabitant of the Endless World actually knew about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor!


    If not for having awakened his inherited memories, even he himself did not know about the existence of Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. How did this brat know?


    Not just that, he even knew clearly about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor''s growing up experiences. That was even stranger.


    Although this brat might be a little weak, his body was leaking with abnormality.


    Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could unleash a powerful attack that could threaten Spirit Condensation Realms.


    Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could become a low-rank Alchemy Master.


    Moreover, the data on that badge said that Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm when he passed the test! This was simply subverting!


    The Ape King even knew that human alchemists rarely knew about the existence of the Demon Crystal Pill. But this teenage brat actually knew!


    All in all, it was so abnormal!


    If these things were combined, perhaps . . . this brat could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?


    Then again, it was just a year''s time. If Ye Yuan could not refine it, he did not lose much anyway. At most he would just blow his top and then kill Ye Yuan.


    But what if Ye Yuan could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?


    Then what if Ye Yuan could help him advance to late-stage Tier 3?


    Could it be that he still had the possibility of breaking through to Tier 4 in this lifetime?


    Thinking up to here, the Ape King found it hard to calm his emotions down again. The temptation of Tier 4 was . . . utterly irresistible!


    What was the concept of Tier 4?


    Even in this Endless Forest where high tier demonic beasts were as plentiful as clouds, Tier 4 demonic beasts also counts as a hegemon of a region!


    The current Ape King was at most occupying a mountain and calling himself king.


    Within a radius of a thousand miles, who knew how many Tier 3 demonic beasts there were just like him. He was merely one of them.


    This was a sure win and no losses gamble!


    Even if the Ape King lost, what he lost was just a year''s time anyway. But if he won, then he would obtain an even broader future!


    A year was completely irrelevant to the Ape King. It could not even increase his strength the least bit.


    "You . . . you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?" the Ape King asked somewhat weakly.


    Ye Yuan turned his face over and snubbed the Ape King.


    He knew that his words already took effect. As long as he let the Ape King become conscious of his mysteriousness, he definitely would not lay hands on him.


    Just a year''s time was completely worthless to the Ape King.


    Ye Yuan could naturally think of what the Ape King desired.


    Hence, it was the Ape King who was begging him now, and not him beseeching the Ape King anymore.


    Compared to Tier 4, what did the Crimson Soul Grass even matter?


    Seeing Ye Yuan ignore him, the Ape King could not help feeling awkward. But when he recalled his attitude towards him just now, the Ape King felt that the attitude of this person now did not seem to be improper.


    On the contrary, the more Ye Yuan behaved so, the more the Ape King felt that he was unfathomable.


    Only a capable person would posture like this!


    Feng Zhirou who was looking at this scene by the side could not help widening her eyes.


    This plot reversed too quickly!


    The Ape King was still in a billowing rage just now and wanted to smack people to death at the slightest provocation. Why did his attitude do a 180 degree U-turn after exchanging a few sentences?


    Feng Zhirou unintentionally looked at Ye Yuan curiously. She really wanted to know what went on between Ye Yuan and the Ape King.


    However, she knew that now was not the time to interrupt, so she could only press down her curiosity deep in her heart.


    Feng Zhirou knew that she and Ye Yuan was already safe now. That was enough.


    "Bra . . . young man, if you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill, you can have as much Crimson Soul Grass as you want!" The Ape King changed his form of address at the last moment and turned ''brat'' into ''young man.''


    Right now, the only bargaining chip on the Ape King''s hands was the Crimson Soul Grass. Ye Yuan was ignoring him, so he could only take that out.


    Ye Yuan only turned his head back slowly after seeing that the Ape King went to the main point, saying indifferently, "Isn''t Senior Ape King bullying people too much by using the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange for the Demon Crystal Pill?"


    Crimson Soul Grass was only a Tier 2 medicinal herb. Though it might be scarce, it was simply garbage when compared with Tier 3 medicine pills!


    And this sort of medicinal pill for the consumption of demonic beasts like the Demon Crystal Pill was practically unheard of in the human territories. In the Endless World, alchemists who could refine demonic beast medicinal pills could likely be counted on the fingers of one hand.


    Such was the pricelessness of the Demon Crystal Pill!


    The Ape King also showed slight embarrassment and said, "Young man, as long as you can really refine out the Demon Crystal Pill, just list your terms! As long I can I do it, I definitely won''t say no!"


    Ye Yuan looked at the Ape King and suddenly beamed, smiling until the Ape King felt scared.


    However, Ye Yuan did not list his terms. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Senior Ape King, I wonder if you have any interest in the Demon Manor Pill?"


    When the Ape King heard ''Demon Manor Pill'' these three words, he involuntarily sucked in a cold breath, and he became battered out of his senses. Where was there still any demeanor of an unparalleled expert?


    For an ape''s face to have such exciting expressions, it was hard on the Ape King.


    Currently, the Ape King''s entire body was trembling. He was clearly agitated to the extreme!


    "Demon . . . demon . . . demon . . . you can actually even refine that?!"


    After saying ''demon'' for a long time, the Ape King did not complete the three words ''Demon Manor Pill'' and was already so agitated that he was stuttering.


    Demon Manor Pill was precisely a medicinal pill which could aid demonic beasts to breakthrough to Tier 4!


    It was Tier 4!


    Before today, he had never had any extravagant hopes of breaking through to Tier 4. But now, Ye Yuan whetted his appetite sky high, and actually even brought up the Demon Manor Pill!


    Was it not wanting a person''s life?! No wait, it should be wanting an ape''s life!


    No matter human martial artists or demonic beasts, who could withstand the allure of breaking through a major realm?


    Nobody!


    Each major realm was like a heavenly chasm!


    Those geniuses could cross a heavenly chasm, but might not be able to cross the next one. After crossing the next heavenly chasm, they might not be able to cross the next one!


    Each major realm was just like a fine sieve, eliminating countless geniuses again and again.


    Each heavenly chasm could make innumerable geniuses fall in the sand with broken halberds.


    The Ape King being able to awaken its inherited memories meant that he already counted as a pinnacle genius among the Long-arm Stone Apes.


    But this heavenly chasm called Tier 4 mercilessly shut the door on his face!


    Now, did he really have the chance to cross this heavenly chasm?


    Ye Yuan was very satisfied with the Ape King''s response and said smilingly, "Didn''t I say just now? Refining pills to me is just a common meal. What I''m lacking now is but cultivation realm!"

 Chapter 140: There’s Only This One Chance!

    Chapter 140: There��s Only This One Chance!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan''s manner of speaking clearly seemed like he was boasting.


    However, the Ape King did not know why, but he felt that what Ye Yuan said was real!


    Perhaps this feeling originated from the powerful self-confidence coming off of Ye Yuan''s body.


    This sort of feeling was contradictory, yet it was so persuasive.


    In the end, it was the allure of Tier 4 which trumped all!


    "State your terms, young man! I concede!" The Ape King said helplessly.


    After awakening his inherited memories, the Ape King''s intellect was no longer inferior to regular humans. He knew that Ye Yuan whetting up his appetite was definitely not for something as simple as the Crimson Soul Grass.


    Seeing the Ape King''s defeated look, Ye Yuan said calmly, "With ten years as the duration, acknowledge me as your master!"


    "What? You, a puny little Essence Qi Realm, actually want me to acknowledge you as my master?" The Ape King was enraged when he heard that.


    On the Crimson Summit Ridge, the Ape King was a paramount existence. Regardless of strength or age, he was on an entirely different level from Ye Yuan.


    To ask him to acknowledge a youth as his master was even more painful than killing him!


    But Ye Yuan had an indifferent look on his face as he said, "After ten years, even if you wanted to acknowledge me as your master, I''m afraid that you won''t even get a queue number. If you''re unwilling, then I don''t really care. I''ll just suffer this small loss and use the Demon Crystal Pill to exchange the Crimson Soul Grass with you. Either way, refining a Demon Crystal Pill is effortless to me. After a year, I''ll hand you the Demon Crystal Pill, and the two of us won''t owe each other anything! But at that time, don''t think about becoming my servant to exchange for the Demon Manor Pill."


    Ye Yuan paused and kept away the smile on his face, saying solemnly, "There''s only this one chance!"


    With Ye Yuan keeping away his smile, the aura of a sovereign undulated out naturally, as if he was a sovereign who descended upon the world!


    Feng Zhirou had never seen this side of Ye Yuan as if he looked down on all things under the heavens. This sort of disposition and aura, even if her father were here, most likely he would also admit defeat, right?


    Ye Yuan was originally the Medicine King Hall''s young patriarch, an Alchemy Emperor with supreme status in the Divine Realm. Even when matched up against those old undying from the Alchemist Association, his standards went beyond rather than falling below the mark.


    Although he changed his body now, that sort of disposition of a sovereign originated from the deepest part of the soul. It was completely unnecessary for him to fake it.


    When the Ape King saw how Ye Yuan''s bearing was actually so extraordinary, he was unwittingly shocked inwardly.


    As a sovereign himself, the Ape King was even clearer that this sort of bearing was absolutely not something that could be faked by an Essence Qi Realm youth!


    There were definitely many unknown secrets on this young man''s body!


    The Ape King inadvertently started to re-evaluate Ye Yuan''s words.


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was very clear. If he chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, then he would lose the opportunity to advance to a Tier 4 demonic beast.


    So the question now was whether Ye Yuan could really refine a Demon Manor Pill.


    This was similarly another gamble. Ye Yuan increased the original bet multiple times!


    Ye Yuan saying to acknowledge him as his master was naturally not just verbally. It was to enter a soul contract.


    After entering a soul contract, all actions of the Ape King had to comply with Ye Yuan''s commands without resistance. Otherwise, a single thought from Ye Yuan could make the Ape King''s soul dissipate.


    That was to say, he would lose ten years of freedom!


    If the Ape King chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, he would earn without losing anything. With the Demon Crystal Pill, there was no problem for him to breakthrough to middle-stage Tier 3.


    But that way, he would also lose the chance to breakthrough to Tier 4.


    Perhaps, this might be his only chance to become a Tier 4 demonic beast!


    If he chose the latter, the risk he faced would be much greater. If Ye Yuan could not refine the Demon Manor Pill, he would lose ten years of freedom!


    This was something the Ape King could not accept!


    But if he chose the latter, he would obtain the opportunity to breakthrough to Tier 4!


    This opportunity was too hard to come by!


    The temptation of Tier 4 was too huge!


    The Ape King kept on contorting his ape face in agony. Clearly, his heart was filled with turmoil.


    Seeing the Ape King show such an interesting expression, Feng Zhirou nearly laughed out loud. But she was also very astonished in her heart.


    "Just what did you say to him? Why is he showing such an expression?" Feng Zhirou could not suppress her curiosity and voice transmitted to ask.


    Ye Yuan did not hide it and told her the matter of his intention to take the Ape King in as his servant.


    The look on Feng Zhirou''s face also became very fascinating when she heard Ye Yuan''s voice transmission.


    "But that''s a Tier 3 Ape King! Even the Dean might not be his match. You actually want to take him in as your servant?" Feng Zhirou nearly let out a sound.


    "Just a Tier 3 Stone Ape, that''s all. Barely strong enough to be my servant I guess. It''s also because my strength is too weak, or else I wouldn''t even be bothered to take him in. You''re also aware, my Master is very strong. If the servant I take in is too lousy, the elder will also lose his prestige." Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Feng Zhirou stared at Ye Yuan and was already completely speechless.


    The two of them barged into the Crimson Summit Ridge at nearly the cost of their lives. No matter how Feng Zhirou thought, she did not expect the situation to reverse so swiftly.


    The previous moment, they were nearly killed by this Ape King, and the next moment, Ye Yuan wanted to take this Ape King in as his servant.


    Not that I don''t understand, but it''s this world that changed too quickly!


    Just what kind of existence was Ye Yuan''s master?


    The Ape King''s struggle continued for several dozen breaths of time, but Ye Yuan did not urge him.


    Ye Yuan also knew that this matter was an extremely painful choice to the Ape King.


    The Ape King in the Crimson Summit Ridge was like an emperor in a mortal country.


    To make an emperor become another person''s servant was clearly an extremely difficult matter.


    Gradually, the Ape King''s facial expression settled down. Ye Yuan knew that he already made his decision.


    "How is it? Have you considered it?" Ye Yuan asked calmly.


    "To get me to become your servant also works, but you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to definitely refine the Demon Manor Pill for me within ten years!" the Ape King said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that. "Don''t be mistaken. Right now, I''m not the one begging you to be my servant, but it''s me who''s giving you a chance! You can only choose to believe me or not to believe in me. There isn''t a third road."


    Seeing the Ape King''s expression turn hostile, Ye Yuan added on and said, "Don''t dream about trapping me here to refine pills for you. Once I have the strength to refine the Demon Manor Pill, I have a thousand ways to make you die unknowingly. You can try if you don''t believe!"


    The Ape King did not expect that the notion had just jumped to mind and Ye Yuan already guessed it.


    He was indeed thinking about keeping Ye Yuan here to refine pills for him just now, but he did not imagine being counter-threatened by Ye Yuan.


    Just as Ye Yuan had said, if his Alchemy Dao attainments were truly so high, then he would really have this ability.


    Another long bout of silence passed. The Ape King suddenly gave a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, "Fine! For this chance to breakthrough to Tier 4, I''m willing to acknowledge you as my master for ten years!"


    Ye Yuan''s face did not reveal any surprise. He chuckled loudly when he heard that and said, "Don''t worry, following me, Ye Yuan, let alone Tier 4, even Tier 5 Demon Monarch or Tier 6 Demon Ancestor does not amount to much! I don''t need ten years. Even I were to chase you away, I''m afraid that you won''t be willing to leave my side!"


    These words still sounded so rampant and unreliable. In truth, Ye Yuan was afraid of scaring the Ape King, so he held back.


    To Ye Yuan, forget about Demon Ancestor, what was difficult about even that Tier 9 Demon Emperor?

 Chapter 141: Spatial Spirit Artifact!

    Chapter 141: Spatial Spirit Artifact!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Ape King fully opened up his divine soul. Ye Yuan formed a seal with both hands, and a wisp of soul strength reached into the divine soul of the Ape King.


    Regardless whether it was demonic beasts or human martial artists, the divine soul was the most mysterious and also the most fragile place.


    The Ape King only felt his divine soul quiver and his entire being feeling like he was dead tired.


    The Ape King knew that he and Ye Yuan already set up a soul contract. He shall serve Ye Yuan as his master for ten years.


    Currently, the Ape King no longer had his former pride. He said respectfully, "Yuan Fei pays respect to Master."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So, you''re called Yuan Fei? En, since you acknowledged me as your master, there are some things I wanted to make clear to you."


    "Pray tell, master."


    "You have your pride as the Ape King, and I also won''t control your words and actions as I please. Hence, under most circumstances, you''re free. If you sincerely acknowledge me as your master, I can even choose not to use soul strength. That way, you''re virtually completely free. However, if I find out that you feign compliance while acting in opposition even just once, I''ll use the soul contract without hesitation. Understood?"


    "Yuan Fei understands! Don''t worry, Master. Since this Yuan Fei chose to follow Master, I naturally won''t have other thoughts," Yuan Fei said deferentially.


    Methods like soul contracts were actually quite gentle. It primarily looked at the contents of the contract entered by the two parties. Because Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan''s soul contract was not on equal footing, Yuan Fei must serve Ye Yuan as master.


    Even so, apart from restrictions on the contract and having to do things for Ye Yuan, there was pretty much no difference from normal times.


    It was possible to forcefully plant a slave seal to control others. The party being enslaved could not hide any thoughts from the master. That was a true slave and not some master-servant relationship.


    There were some even more impressive techniques which could directly obliterate the consciousness of the person being controlled to make him completely submit to his master. As long as the master did not take the initiative to come into contact with the spell, the person being controlled would forever be a walking corpse.


    It was precisely because a method like a soul contract was very gentle that Yuan Fei agreed to Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, he would not agree with Ye Yuan and just kill him instead.


    One had to acknowledge that Ye Yuan''s words dispelled Yuan Fei''s last bit of apprehension.


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was that they were equals. But when Ye Yuan required something, he had to help Ye Yuan unconditionally.


    Rather than saying master-servant relationship, they might as well say full-time bodyguard.


    Furthermore, Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan had already entered a soul contract. There was also an indistinct hint of telepathy between them.


    Yuan Fei could sense that Ye Yuan truly turned his nose up a little at him, this servant.


    This sort of turning his nose up was not looking down in disdain, but . . . a sort of indescribable feeling.


    Anyway, this master was very mysterious!


    "En, don''t need to call Master either, just call me Young Master," Ye Yuan instructed.


    "Yes, Young Master."


    From the beginning since just now, Feng Zhirou''s mouth had always been wide open. She was already so amazed that she grinned from ear to ear.


    A Tier 3 demonic beast was subdued just like that with a few sentences from Ye Yuan?


    This was a Tier 3 demonic beast and not some Tom, Dick, and Harry!


    In this thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest, a Tier 3 demonic beast was absolutely a kinglike existence! He actually became Ye Yuan''s servant just like that?


    She still suspected that Ye Yuan was bragging a little just now, but only when she saw the Ape King''s attitude now, did Feng Zhirou become aware of her ignorance.


    "You . . . You really subdued him?" Feng Zhirou was still a little hesitant to believe and wished to confirm it from Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Look at his appearance. Is there still anything else to doubt? En, en, with Yuan Fei tagging along, time to beat up Su Yubai first after heading back. Heh heh."


    Feng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated by Ye Yuan. At the start, he still had a certain air, but he revealed his true colors in his last sentence.


    This fellow was simply a troublemaker!


    "But, he''s the Ape King! How did you subdue him?" Feng Zhirou could not resist asking again.


    "Everybody has a weakness. As long as you grasp their weak point, they can naturally be used by you. To the Ape King, what do you think he desires the most?" Ye Yuan smiled and countered with a question.


    Feng Zhirou thought about it after hearing the question. After some time, she answered uncertainly, "Breakthrough to Tier 4? Well, I don''t think there''s anything with a greater allure than this."


    "Smart! Yuan Fei is just like you. If you can''t break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, then it would be even more excruciating than killing you. You should be able to understand this sort of feeling," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    "En. En? You actually dare to compare me to a demonic beast?!"


    Feng Zhirou nodded her head first but quickly realized that something was wrong and promptly burst into anger.


    "Haha! I didn''t have that intention. Why are you always so sensitive? Don''t hit me! I have a Tier 3 bodyguard now! You can''t beat me!"


    "Humph! Even if you have a Tier 4 bodyguard, so what? I''ll beat you anyway!"


    Feng Zhirou simply did not care. She did not believe that Ye Yuan would really dare to make the Ape King come and beat her.


    "Ouch, I was wrong, my grandaunt!"


    "That''s much better!"


    . . . . . .


    After a bout of play fighting, a problem remained in front of Ye Yuan.


    How should he handle the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes?


    Once Yuan Fei left with him, this mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes would lose their support.


    In the Endless Forest, Yuan Fei was not the only Tier 3 demonic beast. If he were to leave, these Long-arm Stone Apes would be without a head. Sooner or later, they would be annexed by other forces.


    The demonic beast world was at times crueler than the human world. It was impossible for other species to tolerate the Long-arm Stone Apes to continue occupying the mountain and calling themselves king. The final outcome would be complete annihilation.


    "Yuan Fei, what about your fellow clansmen? If you leave, they''ll probably be swallowed up by other powerful races," Ye Yuan enquired.


    Not that Ye Yuan was unwilling to bring them away, but because there were simply too many Long-arm Stone Apes!


    If he brought them all away, how would he settle them down?


    These Long-arm Stone Apes, when brought outside, could virtually destroy a mortal country. There was no place safe to put such a colossal force.


    If somebody with some bad intentions found them, these Long-arm Stone Apes could be in even greater danger than at the Endless Forest!


    No matter how powerful Yuan Fei was, he was just a single person. Furthermore, the experts from some of the great sects were even stronger than Yuan Fei!


    When Yuan Fei saw that Ye Yuan took the initiative to mention his clansmen, he felt incredibly touched.


    If it were some other person, having acquired such a powerful helper, who would bother about the life and death of Yuan Fei''s clansmen?


    "Don''t worry, Young Master. I have an extremely powerful spatial spirit artifact on me. It''s ample to store my clansmen and me.


    As he said, Yuan Fei flipped over his palm. A small-scale mini palace floated about his palm.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "To think it''s actually 128 restrictions spatial spirit artifact! This toy is probably extremely rare in the Endless World. Looks like you, Yuan Fei, are really fortuitous! No wonder only you among so many clansmen could awaken inherited memories and breakthrough to Tier 3."


    Yuan Fei smiled. "If Young Master can help me breakthrough to Tier 4, you would be Yuan Fei''s greatest fortuitous encounter!"


    Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Relax. I won''t let you down."

 Chapter 142: Chain Assassinations!

    Chapter 142: Chain Assassinations!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A 128 restrictions spirit artifact was practically the utmost limit of a spirit artifact.


    If more restrictions were added, the spirit artifact would find it very hard to withstand the oppression of the restrictions. The final outcome would be the destruction of the spirit artifact.


    Furthermore, spatial spirit artifacts were extremely scarce. A 128 restrictions spatial spirit artifact was even more valuable then.


    If this spirit artifact were known to the outside world, it would surely set off a wave of bloodshed!


    Ye Yuan did not expect that Yuan Fei actually possessed such a spirit artifact.


    "Where did your spirit artifact come from, Yuan Fei?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "Back then when I was at peak Tier 2, although I awakened inherited memories, I remained unable to find the juncture for a breakthrough. Hence, I hardened my heart and entered the depths of the Endless Forest alone to seek out the opportunity for a breakthrough. Who knew that I would randomly barge into a human grotto. This spirit artifact was obtained from inside that grotto," Yuan Fei did not hide it and explained to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was surprised. "A human grotto? Isn''t the Endless Forest under the rule of demonic beasts? Why would there be a human grotto?"


    Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "That I don''t know. But I acquired this spirit artifact from the outermost area of that grotto. The inhibitions inside are overly powerful. I simply dared not go in too deep. Back then, I obtained several Demon Spirit Pills and this spatial spirit artifact inside the grotto, and then quietly retreated. I only broke through to Tier 3 after swallowing the Demon Spirit Pills."


    "Oh? There''s actually such things like Demon Spirit Pills inside that human martial artist''s grotto? Looks like you, Yuan Fei, really have a tremendous fortune. Your future accomplishments definitely won''t be low!" Ye Yuan said admirably.


    From Yuan Fei''s recount of the situation, his luck was simply freaking amazing!


    Yuan Fei was only at peak Tier 2 back then. Entering deep into the Endless Forest was simply no different from courting death. But not only did he not die, he even bafflingly obtained the opportunity to breakthrough and successfully broke through to Tier 3.


    And now, Yuan Fei encountered Ye Yuan. This could no longer be described as good luck!


    Accompanying by Ye Yuan''s side, as long as Yuan Fei did not die, his future accomplishments would be immeasurable!


    Just like Yuan Fei said himself, meeting Ye Yuan was his greatest fortune!


    "Thank you, Young Master!" Yuan Fei exclaimed respectfully.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like this human grotto should be the temporary dwelling of some extremely powerful existence. This Endless Forest is really such an interesting place!"


    Yuan Fei''s words filled Ye Yuan with a deep curiosity about that grotto. After he became stronger, he must absolutely pay a visit to that grotto.


    "Alright, there''s no time to lose. Yuan Fei, quickly pack up and put your clansmen inside the spatial spirit artifact. Then follow me. You and your clansmen just stay inside the spatial spirit artifact normally to cultivate. When I need you, I''ll naturally call for you," Ye Yuan instructed.


    "Yes, Young Master!" Yuan Fei acknowledged and started to carry out the great migration feat.


    This Crimson Summit Ridge was also a rich treasure land. Apart from the Crimson Soul Grass, there were quite a few other precious medicinal herbs.


    As for those things, Ye Yuan naturally would not waste them. He made the apes pack them all up and deliver it inside the spatial spirit artifact.


    Of course, to the present Ye Yuan, the most precious was still the Crimson Soul Grass.


    Ye Yuan got three to four stalks of it from Yuan Fei and made him keep the rest away inside the spatial spirit artifact.


    Once everything was settled, Yuan Fei and his clansmen all entered the spatial spirit artifact. Then, the spatial spirit artifact shrunk to become a small bead the size of a soybean and was carried on Ye Yuan''s body.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou continued down the ridge. The Crimson Summit Ridge originally bustling with noise and excitement was abnormally still now.


    But this sort of situation would not last long. What the Endless Forest lacked the least were demonic beasts. This place would soon be occupied by other demonic beasts.


    There would naturally be a bout of fighting and killing over this, but that had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.


    It could be said that he returned fully loaded from this trip to the Crimson Summit Ridge. Not only did he obtain the Crimson Soul Grass, he even subdued a Tier 3 demonic beast.


    Feng Zhirou felt that she was still dreaming even now. This entire day and night''s experience was overly bizarre.


    "Am I still dreaming, Ye Yuan? Did we really subdue a Tier 3 demonic beast?"


    "You can pinch yourself. If it hurts, that means you aren''t dreaming. Ouch! I asked you to pinch yourself! What did you pinch me for?"


    "You''re actually in so much pain. Looks like this really isn''t a dream! But I still feel like this isn''t real. Ye Yuan, if you let out the Ape King and his clan, wouldn''t they be able to directly obliterate the State of Qin?"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Don''t be silly! Yuan Fei can''t be exposed. He can only be used during crucial moments. Just think about it, if a Tier 3 demonic beast appeared in the human territories, what would be the outcome? Furthermore, Yuan Fei and the rest are hiding inside the spatial spirit artifact. If the spatial spirit artifact is exposed, forget about me, even the State of Qin will face annihilation! So we must keep our mouths tightly shut after we return, understood?"


    Feng Zhirou had a casual personality. She just felt that having a Tier 3 demonic beasts subordinate was very glorious. She honestly did not think that the consequence would be so severe.


    "No way? I was still thinking about bringing Yuan Fei out to show off just now. They actually can''t even show their faces?" Feng Zhirou felt dejected.


    Ye Yuan put on a solemn face when he saw that and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, you must treat this matter as if it didn''t happen when we return. Or else, the consequences are not something that you and I can bear!"


    "Fine, fine! I understood already! I won''t even tell Aunty. Just relax!"


    Feng Zhirou just had a more roguish personality, but she was no fool. Ye Yuan already spoke to such an extent, she obviously knew propriety.


    Especially that spatial spirit artifact. That was virtually a ticking time-bomb!


    The duo chatted as they walked and quickly descended the mountain.


    The Crimson Soul Grass was already obtained, so the next step was the Pine Yang Fruit.


    The place the Pine Yang Fruit grew at was called Gray Pine Forest. It was not really an extremely dangerous place, just the territory of a Tier 2 demonic beast.


    Now that they had Yuan Fei, plucking the Pine Yang Fruit was effortless.


    Walking, the pair reached a dense forest.


    Killing intent appeared in a flash without any warning signs!


    An arrow passed through layers of trees and shot toward Ye Yuan''s heart at extreme speed!


    The distance of this arrow was neither too far nor too near. It made Ye Yuan unable to detect it in advance and also did not give him the slightest bit of time to react!


    However, Ye Yuan managed to react to it. His sensitivity towards qi activities was incomparable with regular Essence Qi Realms.


    Spirit Void Shattering Space was executed right away as he leaped to the side, barely evading this arrow!


    Just as Ye Yuan was planning on summoning Yuan Fei out, warning bells appeared again!


    A figure charged out from the grass straight for the direction he dove towards!


    That was to say, this evasion by Ye Yuan positioned him perfectly for the next wave of assassination!


    A saber beam flashed past, and a powerful aura came from straight ahead. That was a full powered attack from a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Right at that moment, Ye Yuan also unleashed a palm!


    Except that this palm of his was not aimed for the assassin, but towards the ground.


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layer Wave!


    Rumble!


    Dirt flew everywhere, and then Ye Yuan''s figure could be seen forcefully changing its direction, and he had a close shave with that saber!


    Chi! This saber still managed to graze lightly Ye Yuan''s arm.


    However, it was not over yet!


    A third attack headed for Ye Yuan once more!


    This was a chain assassination precise to the limits!


    The other party calculated all of Ye Yuan''s reactions!


    Ye Yuan was in deadly danger!

 Chapter 143: Nine Swords Stance Completed!

    Chapter 143: Nine Swords Stance Completed!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The assassination this time was inter-connected, making a chain attack. It virtually took into account Ye Yuan''s every reaction!


    Just now, Ye Yuan borrowed the recoil from the Eighth Layer Wave to barely avoid the second attack.


    But now, Ye Yuan was in midair. The third attack connected seamlessly without giving Ye Yuan any opportunity to catch his breath.


    The grasp on timing was precise, and coordination was marvelous. It was virtually flawless!


    More importantly, the strengths of these three people were extremely strong. All of them at the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above.


    For three Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above martial artists to lay down such an ingenious killing trap, it was simply an unavoidable certain death scenario!


    "Ahh! Ye Yuan!" Feng Zhirou also reacted in a flash and was about to go over and help Ye Yuan.


    But right then, another figure flashed out and shot directly at Feng Zhirou.


    "Your opponent is me!" An azure figure attacked Feng Zhirou with unimaginable speed.


    "It''s you, Su Yishan!" Feng Zhirou angrily exclaimed in shock.


    The two people instantly exchanged a blow. They were actually on par.


    "Heh heh, if not, who do you think it is? Nanfeng Zhirou, this young master has chased after you for so much, but you refused to give any face. Today, I''m going to let you taste this young master''s prowess!" Su Yishan smiled nastily.


    As the Su Family''s young patriarch, Su Yishan was naturally aware of Nanfeng Zhirou''s true identity.


    The Su Family''s relationship with the Imperial Family had always been very delicate. Su Yishan had also pursued Nanfeng Zhirou for a very long time in the academy, but Nanfeng Zhirou always spoke bluntly to him.


    Su Yishan had been pursuing Nanfeng Zhirou. On the one hand, it was in consideration for the Su Family''s interests. On the other hand, it was obviously because of Nanfeng Zhirou''s beauty.


    Not only was Nanfeng Zhirou''s looks outstanding, but she was also a famous ice beauty. How could Su Yishan not be moved?


    Nanfeng Zhirou involuntarily flew into a great rage upon seeing Su Yishan tease her with words. "Such gall, Su Yishan! I''ll definitely return and report to Imperial Father about this incident and make him administer punishment onto your Su Family!"


    Su Yishan sneered coldly and said, "Then, you have to be able to go back first! Hehe, the dazzlingly gorgeous Senior Apprentice Sister and the super genius both fell in the Endless Forest. Truly lamentable!"


    "With the likes of you?" Nanfeng Zhirou said with similarly a cold sneer.


    . . . . . .


    Over here, Su Yishan intercepted Nanfeng Zhirou. On the other side, Ye Yuan already arrived at the critical juncture of life and death!


    Ye Yuan could naturally call out Yuan Fei at this time, but after he summoned him, he would already be a dead man.


    The Chang trio brothers were clearly unaware that Ye Yuan had subdued Yuan Fei, but their chain assassination this time coincidentally sealed shut the possibility of Ye Yuan summoning Yuan Fei!


    Chang One was born cautious. His investigation concerning Ye Yuan was also quite thorough.


    Regardless of how much of a wastrel Ye Yuan was in the past, he was now currently an opponent that barred absolutely no negligence!


    If they looked down on Ye Yuan just because he was at the Essence Qi Realm, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.


    In reality, Ye Yuan''s performance affirmed Chang One''s thoughts.


    If it were some other Essence Qi Realm martial artist, that deadly arrow from Chang Three would have already pierced through his heart. But not only did Ye Yuan evade Chang Three''s arrow under the situation where it was impossible to change his body''s inertia, he forcefully altered directions in midair!


    This could no longer be described as being tough!


    Two Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm''s immaculate assassination was actually dodged ingeniously by a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    But that was alright because Chang One himself was the person in charge of the final strike!


    Chang One, a Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert!


    Since the beginning when Ye Yuan entered the area they were lying in wait, Chang One was already accumulating his energy and waiting to release it, all for this final lethal blow.


    This strike was a Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist''s most powerful strike!


    Due to the addition of that Eighth Layer Wave from Ye Yuan earlier, his current airborne speed was even faster than before!


    And Chang One''s speed was greater than Chang Two''s. That was to say that Ye Yuan''s and Chang One''s speed which was greater than Chang Two''s were coming together!


    Chang One also used a sword. It seemed as if he already saw the result of Ye Yuan being gored through and breathing his last.


    "Ah! Careful, Ye Yuan!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was entangled by Su Yishan and could not free herself. But she saw the scene of Ye Yuan about to be killed.


    "Better take care of yourself first, Princess Nanfeng!"


    Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou''s reaction, Su Yishan also felt a wave of delight. That hateful Ye Yuan was finally about to die!


    Boom!


    Nanfeng Zhirou was sent flying and spat out blood on the spot.


    But at the same time, the script did not play out according to Chang One''s plan.


    The tip of Chang One''s sword was about to stab Ye Yuan when the scene before his eyes suddenly blurred. Nine Ye Yuans actually appeared at the same time in front of him!


    Afterimages?


    Ye Yuan was currently airborne, how could he possibly create afterimages?


    And these nine Ye Yuans were incomparably realistic. Just which one was the real body?


    Chang One''s divine sense swept across these nine figures instantaneously, but to his shock, he discovered that these nine silhouettes were actually all real bodies!


    What sort of situation was this? Seeing ghosts?


    However, Chang One was currently like an arrow fitted to a string, being at the point of no return. He could not tolerate any hint of hesitation.


    "Humph, paltry tricks! It''s just camouflage!"


    Chang One chose the centermost Ye Yuan without hesitation. That was also his initial target.


    Creating afterimages under this sort of situation, it was ten to one a camouflage. The aim was to confound Chang One''s senses.


    And the true body had never changed from the very beginning!


    Swoosh!


    Chang One''s body passed through the afterimage just like that.


    There was no unsmooth feeling of penetrating a body. He passed through the air!


    Chang One''s heart involuntarily sunk.


    To deal with a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, the three brothers employed all of their skills to its limits and meticulously laid out this certain death situation. The result was just making Ye Yuan suffer some light injuries?


    When setting up the scenario, Chang One had absolute confidence that let alone a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, even a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm would suffer major losses when caught unprepared.


    Towards Ye Yuan, Chang One had already placed great emphasis until he could not think any higher of him. But the outcome still exceeded his expectations.


    All the way up to now, Chang One could not figure out just how Ye Yuan created eight afterimages while in an airborne state.


    Also, just which one was his real body?


    Bang!


    The Ye Yuan behind Chang One fell heavily onto the ground. Chang One also landed softly, appearing to be very relaxed without Ye Yuan''s shabby appearance.


    Ye Yuan stood up and dusted off the grass bits on his body and said calmly, "I really have to thank the three of you. Without you guys, I''m afraid that my Nine Swords Stance wouldn''t be completed so quickly!"


    On the boundary of imminent danger, Ye Yuan remained calm and immediately entered Heart Like Still Water state.


    Under that sort of situation just now, the more he panicked, the more certain he would die.


    Ye Yuan understood that to shake off this strike, he could only utilize the Nine Swords Stance''s movement technique!


    But his Nine Swords Stance was incomplete. There must be a foothold to execute the movement technique, but he was currently suspended in midair.


    In the moment of crisis, relying on Heart Like Still Water state, Ye Yuan stimulated his potential to the greatest extent and finally completed the Nine Swords Stance!

 Chapter 144: You’re Really a Genius!

    Chapter 144: You��re Really a Genius!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Meanwhile, the Chang Brothers gathered together. The complexions of the trio did not look too good.


    Hearing the meaning of Ye Yuan''s words, their painstakingly designed killing scenario actually helped Ye Yuan to have a breakthrough!


    That movement technique just now was very profound. Even Chang One, the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, was actually unable to differentiate which was the true body.


    "Ye Yuan, you aren''t na?ve enough to think that you can retreat safely after evading our ambush, right? Although that move just now was incomparably profound, your cultivation realm is still too low," Chang One said in a low voice.


    Chang One designed this death trap as a precautionary resolute measure to resolve a complicated problem. All done to prevent unnecessary complications.


    Even if they did not ambush, with his cultivation realm, killing Ye Yuan was as easy as taking something out of his pockets. Not to mention there were even Chang Two and Chang Three by his sides.


    "Hur hur, you guys are thinking too much. Why do I have to retreat? If I didn''t have a breakthrough at the last moment just now, I would already have been killed by you all. How can I let you off so easily?"


    Though Ye Yuan said these words while smiling, those familiar with him knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged!


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s threat sounded rather comical. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm rookie actually threatening three Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above experts. No matter how they looked at it, it just seemed like stubbornness.


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, the Chang Trio Brothers involuntarily exchanged glances. They were wondering if Ye Yuan had a problem with his brain.


    With their understanding of Ye Yuan, while Ye Yuan might be very unbridled, he never did something he had no confidence in.


    However, the current circumstances did not seem to allow him to be overbearing.


    Ye Yuan could not naively think that he was a match for the three of them, right?


    "Ye Yuan, I think that you haven''t made clear of the situation, right?" Chang One asked rather bafflingly.


    "Of course I understand the situation. The three of you are the Su Family''s lackeys, right? Received that old dog Su Yubai''s order to come and kill me, yes? No?" Ye Yuan scoffed coldly.


    Chang One had clearly heard of the power of Ye Yuan''s eloquence, so he did not plan on bickering with him. He nodded and said, "You''re mistaken. Elder Su did not order us to come. We''re under the family head''s command to come and kill you."


    Ye Yuan was taken quite by surprise. "Family Head? Su Yishan''s old man? Well, same thing! Looks like I really have to give a good one to the Su Family when I return. Otherwise, they will really think that this little lord is nice to provoke!"


    Chang One felt rather confused. Although he went through an in-depth investigation on Ye Yuan before this task, this was his first time meeting Ye Yuan after all.


    Only now did he discover that Ye Yuan''s personality was entirely different from what he understood.


    In his impression, Ye Yuan was calm and steady, seemed like he was reckless, but entrenched himself at every step.


    But now, Ye Yuan was clearly an incomprehensible good-for-nothing from a wealthy family. He completely could not make clear of the situation!


    If not for Ye Yuan''s performance being overly stunning just now, Chang One might even think that Ye Yuan was a moron.


    Just as Chang One was dazed, Ye Yuan pointed at his nose and scolded, "Hey, do the three of you still have a sense of shame? A Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, two Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, came to kill me and yet dare not do it openly. Instead, you guys used this sort of underhanded sneak attack tactics! Indeed, the type of master one has will have the same kind of lackeys! Su Yubai that old dog is also so sinister and enjoys sneak attacking others! You are all indeed cut from the same cloth!"


    Chang One was scolded by Ye Yuan until he was stupefied. He unwittingly started to doubt his own judgment.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan this fellow was really just a hothead? A 100% good-for-nothing silkpants?


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s talent was beyond all doubts. He was definitely a peerless genius. Even the young patriarch, Su Yishan, would have to admit defeat.


    Other than this, was Ye Yuan really a rash fellow?


    Was his actions back in the Dan Wu Academy just a random coincidence?


    Ye Yuan finished scolding the Chang Brothers and turned his head toward Su Yishan. He started to cursed, "Su Yishan, you tortoise''s grandson! You only know how to bully women! If you have the capabilities, then come and one on one with this Little Lord! Spineless fellow! Want to kill me but dare not make a move in the academy. You even run all the way to the Endless Forest to do this. In the future when the Su Family lands in your hands, it will be squandered away to nothingness eventually! Oh no, the Su Family won''t be able to exist for a long time. When I go back, I''m going to beat the Su Family until they can''t raise their heads!"


    Su Yishan was currently in a heated battle with Nanfeng Zhirou when he suddenly heard Ye Yuan''s cursing and could not help burning with rage after hearing it.


    Forcing Nanfeng Zhirou back with a blow, Su Yishan arrived in front of Ye Yuan with a few leaps.


    Nanfeng Zhirou also followed tightly behind and came to Ye Yuan''s side. Both parties entered a stalemate.


    Ye Yuan casually fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Nanfeng Zhirou. Then he said with a smile, "It''s been hard on you, Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng. Eat it. No need to mind this sort of small injuries."


    Nanfeng Zhirou caught the medicinal pill but lowered her head instead. She knew that her identity had already been made aware to Ye Yuan, making it rather awkward.


    "Don''t get cocky, Ye Yuan! Even if you avoided the Chang Brothers'' ambush, do you think that you can still exit the Endless Forest today?" Su Yishan was displeased when he saw Ye Yuan''s composed appearance.


    Shouldn''t the current Ye Yuan be in a panic?


    Ye Yuan stared at Su Yishan and said with a smile, "I don''t plan on leaving the Endless Forest."


    "Humph! Good that you know!"


    "The Endless Forest is so fun! I still plan on playing for a few more days! As for whether you guys can walk out or not, that I dare not guarantee."


    "Is your brain spoilt, Ye Yuan? Can''t you tell what kind of situation you two are currently in? Just now, I heard that you want to fight one on one, yeah?" Su Yishan stared at Ye Yuan like he was looking at a fool.


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "That''s right. Does the dignified Su Family''s Young Patriarch only know how to bully women? If you have the capability, let''s go one-on-one!"


    "Hahahaha . . ." Su Yishan roared with laughter when he heard that and said, "Alright, I''ll fight you one on one! But . . . it''s us as a group fighting you alone!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell after hearing that, and he said in terror, "Su Yishan! Are you a man or not?! If you have the capabilities, let''s fight one-on-one!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, Su Yishan felt incredibly venting. He chuckled and said, "Ye Yuan, I think your brain really broke down! The four of us combined can kill you like slaughtering a dog! Why should I entertain you with a duel? Do you think this is the academy?"


    Ye Yuan stared at Su Yishan who looked proud of himself and suddenly grinned, smiling very happily.


    "You can still laugh when death is knocking, Ye Yuan? I got to hand it to you. Chang One, Chang Two, Chang Three, kill Ye Yuan! Leave Nanfeng Zhirou alive, I still have a use for her!" Su Yishan ordered.


    While the Chang Brothers were secretly displeased that Su Yishan was still lustful at such a time, they would not refute Su Yishan''s words. After all, he was the future Su Family''s family head.


    Just as the Chang Brothers were prepared to make a move, their face suddenly changed!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In a blink, hundreds of white colored apes appeared in front of their eyes, enclosing them in the center together with Ye Yuan.


    The weakest one of these white apes was at the Initial Stage Tier 2!


    "Haha, Su Yishan! I found out that I really like your idea of one on one! All of us versus you guys! Man, you''re really a genius to even come up with this sort of one on one method!" Ye Yuan looked at Su Yishan as he burst into laughter.

 Chapter 145: Complete Breakdown

    Chapter 145: Complete Breakdown


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Wha-what''s going on?"


    Su Yishan stared wide-eyed at this unbelievable scene and could not even hear Ye Yuan''s mocking him.


    Several hundred Long-arm Stone Apes appearing out of thin air. This visual impact was seriously enormous!


    With their vision filled with Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, this sort of pressure was absolutely unforgettable for life.


    Su Yishan could even feel his own legs quivering!


    Not just Su Yishan, the Chang Brothers were also completely dumbstruck at the moment. Even though they had experienced too many things, they had never seen such a huge occasion before!


    These hundreds of Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes was enough to plow the Su Family one time over.


    Although the majority of these Long-arm Stone Apes were at Initial Stage Tier 2, there were also quite a number of Middle Stage and Late Stage Tier 2.


    Just one Middle Stage Tier 2 demonic beast was enough for him to choke over. What kind of outocme if hundreds were added up?


    At this moment, their nerves were already tensed to the limits.


    "Spatial spirit artifact! It must be a spatial spirit artifact! If not, it''s impossible to contain so many demonic beasts! Ye Yuan, he . . . actually has a spatial spirit artifact!" Chang One suddenly exclaimed in shock.


    "Spa-spatial spirit artifact? H-how''s that possible?" Even though the truth was in front of his eyes, Su Yishan still felt that it was unreal.


    "That''s right. It is indeed a spatial spirit artifact. I didn''t think that you would have such knowledge, quite a figure. However, you offended this Young Master. This is the most foolish thing you''ve done in your entire life!"


    Although it was just a few short breaths of exchange, Ye Yuan could tell that among these four people, Chang One served as a brain-center character.


    With Su Yishan''s personality, it was impossible to lay down such an elaborate killing trap to wait for the hare to land in it.


    The absolute strength of the four of them was much greater than Ye Yuan''s pair. There was simply no need to be so cautious.


    That final strike from Chang One was remarkably brilliant. In fact, it was a flawless blow. Ye Yuan truly arrived at the borders of life and death at that time.


    If not for him remaining calm in the final hour of peril and having broken through at the last moment, he would already be a corpse now.


    From this, one could see that this Chang One was absolutely a very nasty character to deal with!


    But sadly, his opponent was Ye Yuan! He was a young master who would definitely avenge any grievances, not some old good-two-shoes who returned good for evil.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s words, Chang One did not refute them, because he knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.


    The stupidest thing that he, Chang One, ever did in his life was to offend Ye Yuan!


    Chang One was naturally crystal clear on Ye Yuan''s actions in the Dan Wu Academy and knew about his personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. Hence, he dismissed the thought of begging for mercy.


    "Fight it out, brothers! Ignore those demonic beasts and directly kill Ye Yuan!" Chang One was also a very decisive person as he directly laid down an order.


    When Chang One''s command was issued, he took the lead to burst towards Ye Yuan. Chang Two and Chang Three and Big Brother had incredible synergy. Following closely behind, the trio charged towards Ye Yuan in a triangle formation.


    This was Chang One''s dying act. Facing so many Tier 2 demonic beasts, he did not feel that he could kill Ye Yuan. However, what made Chang One speechless and pleasantly surprised was that these Tier 2 demonic beasts actually did not react at all to this!


    These demonic beasts unexpectedly did not move out to stop the three of them!


    Could it be that these demonic beasts were just what Ye Yuan pulled out to intimidate them? Ye Yuan could not command these demonic beasts at all?


    This discovery filled Chang One with wild elation!


    "Haha! Nearly got hoodwinked by you! So, you can''t command these demonic beasts at all! Brothers, kill him with me!" Chang One roared with laughter.


    Ye Yuan did not take any actions. He just looked at Chang One with a smile that was not a smile filled with ridicule.


    "Humph! At gates of death already and yet, you''re still pretending there! Wind Thunder Sword!"


    Chang One''s sword appeared in front of Ye Yuan once again. But this time around, Ye Yuan did not exhaust all his energies to defend. He remained motionless there.


    Right at this moment, a white figure flashed out from the side and grabbed hold of Chang One''s sword very violently, twisting it into scrap metal.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    One exchange, three palms landed respectively on Chang One, Chang Two, and Chang Three''s chest.


    This figure was as fast as lightning. The three of them did not even make clear of what it was before being sent flying out.


    "Ti-Tier 3 demonic beast!"


    Chang One''s face finally flickered as he stared at that white ape built like an iron pagoda in horror. Only now did he know why Ye Yuan did not move this whole time. Because he did not need to move at all.


    With a Tier 3 demonic beast guarding by the side, why would he need to make a move personally?


    However . . . why would a Tier 3 demonic beast obey Ye Yuan? He was merely an Essence Qi Realm martial artist!


    Chang One suddenly recalled that Ye Yuan had just descended down the Crimson Summit Ridge and finally understood some things. His complexion changed greatly against his will!


    "You . . . you brought the entire Crimson Summit Ridge''s Long-arm Stone Ape clan under your control?" Chang One stared at Ye Yuan with dread.


    "Hur hur, you finally realized. I even thought that you were pretty smart. Didn''t think that you''re so slow! That''s right. Yuan Fei and his clansmen will be following me in the future."


    Of course, it was not because Chang One was dumb, but because the impact he received today was too tremendous.


    An Essence Qi Realm martial artist subduing the entire Crimson Summit Ridge''s Long-arm Stone Ape clan. If this spread out, other people would surely treat him like a lunatic!


    However, this sort of impossible matter genuinely happened!


    "H-how''s this possible? The Ape King is a Tier 3 demonic beast. Why would he willingly obey you? Also, humans and demonic beast have a language barrier. How can you possibly subdue him?" Chang One questioned unwillingly.


    "Do you feel that I have a need to answer your question?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Chang One only asked because of the burning uncertainty in his heart. Truthfully, he did not hope for Ye Yuan to answer him.


    Chang One sighed and shut his eyes painfully. He gave a long exhalation and said, "Sigh, the Su Family going against you is the Su Family''s greatest failure! Perhaps the Su Family will vanish entirely from the scene of the State of Qin because of this! Make your move!"


    Yuan Fei waved his long arm, and immediately, over a dozen Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes rushed up, carrying away the Chang Brothers who already had no means to retaliate.


    Before long, blood-curdling screams came from far away, making the scalp of those who heard it tingle.


    The Long-arm Stone Apes were originally wild and untamable. They had always just killed any human martial artists they saw. Only Ye Yuan who knew the universal beast language could communicate with Yuan Fei who activated his spiritual wisdom. Otherwise, their end result would not be much better than the Chang Brothers.


    Each one of the wretched screams transmitted into Su Yishan''s ear, impacting his mind repeatedly. It already completely collapsed his mental defense.


    Su Yishan only abruptly roused with a jerk after Ye Yuan slowly walked towards him. He retreated non-stop, all the way until he bumped into a Long-arm Stone Ape before jumping in fright and dodging hurriedly.


    "Y-Ye Yuan, I-I was wrong, I deserve death! I deserve death! I beg you, please don''t kill me! It''s all because Su Yubai that old bastard forced me! It''s all because he forced me!"


    Su Yishan could not hold on any longer and slammed his knees onto the ground as he begged for mercy by shouting himself hoarse.

 Chapter 146: Feeding Moves

    Chapter 146: Feeding Moves


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan looked at Su Yishan kneeling on the ground with snot dripping from his nose and said with a smile, "I also didn''t say that I''m killing you, Young Master Su! Look how frightened you are!"


    Su Yishan was already like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring right now. His brain was already no longer in charge.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan had the intention to let him off, he spontaneously became overjoyed and said, "Y-you''re for real? Th-then I can go?"


    "Of course you can''t go. All of my secrets have already been seen by you. If you were to leave and spread outside that I possess a spatial spirit artifact, then wouldn''t I die without a burial place?"


    Su Yishan was so terrified that his legs weakened. Ye Yuan''s meaning was to kill him for sure.


    "Don''t worry, I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to absolutely not spread the things I saw today!" Su Yishan then raised his hand and looked as if he was really about to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "That isn''t necessary, Su Yishan. I''ll give you a chance; a chance to fight one-on-one! After you kill me, you can leave this place."


    Su Yishan was stunned and quickly returned to his wailing and said, "Y-Young Master Ye, Great Hero Ye, I really know that I was wrong. I shouldn''t have opposed you. I shouldn''t have brought people into the Endless Forest to come and kill you."


    Ye Yuan also did not expect Su Yishan to be so spineless. That normally haughty bearing was all gone. At this time, he was like a despicable person devoid of any sense of shame.


    Sometimes, people were like that. Without arriving at the final juncture of life and death, one could never see through a person''s true character.


    People who normally appeared to be incomparably lofty would become shamelessly menial when facing death, while those who typically appeared to live a licentious life and had improper conduct would remain incomparably unperturbed in the face of death.


    There were numerous manners of life.


    It was very clear that Su Yishan belonged to the former.


    If Ye Yuan made the Long-arm Stone Apes attack, Su Yishan might still give a desperate struggle. But Ye Yuan surrounded him and did not kill him yet. Also, with the Chang Brothers'' horrifying way of dying as the precedent, Su Yishan''s mind collapsed entirely.


    Ye Yuan suddenly pulled a long face and said solemnly, "I have no time to joke with you! If you don''t want this opportunity, I can kill you right now."


    The current Su Yishan was clearly someone who yielded to force but refused a soft approach. With Ye Yuan riling up, the words sunk into Su Yishan instead.


    "Bu-but . . ." Su Yishan stammered.


    "But I''m not a match for you, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Su Yishan lowered his head. Clearly, he tacitly agreed. But at such a time, he did not dare to say these words out.


    "This Little Lord asks to fight one-on-one, it means one-on-one with you. You don''t need to doubt this. However, the one-on-one I mentioned is not right now. There are also conditions for giving you this chance."


    Hearing Ye Yuan say that, Su Yishan''s eyes lit up as he felt like he had grasped hold of his final life-saving straw.


    "What conditions? As long I can do it, I''ll comply!"


    "Well, I feel that my cultivation is almost consolidated. After my cultivation realm consolidates, I can break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. At that time, we''ll have a deathmatch! But before then, in order to help me consolidate my cultivation realm, I''ll have to trouble you to feed me moves," Ye Yuan said.


    "Spi-Spirit Condensation Realm? So quickly?" Su Yishan was stunned.


    Ye Yuan had just broken through to peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago. He was going to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm now?


    Who among martial artists when breaking through a major realm was not filled with trepidation as if they were treading on thin ice?


    Back then when Su Yishan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he prepared for a full half year, all the way until he was very certain before he dared to take this step.


    And at that time, Su Yishan was already at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Ye Yuan was obviously still just peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm now. Could it be that he wanted to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm directly?


    Wasn''t this too exaggerated?


    In the State of Qin, breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm must go through the process of half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. This was something everyone knew. Never had anyone been foolish enough to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Not that it was impossible to breakthrough directly, but because the success rate of a direct breakthrough was too low. So low that nobody dared to attempt this step!


    The success rate of breaking through directly from Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to Spirit Condensation Realm was so low that it was negligible!


    With such a low success rate, who would dare to try it rashly?


    Ye Yuan had not broken through to Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm for long. Now, he wanted to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Was this possible?


    "None of your business whether it''s fast or not. Either way, you can forget about escaping if I don''t break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Hence, you''d better pray for me to breakthrough earlier," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "B-but if I win you, what if you go back on your words then?" Su Yishan was not a fool either and enquired about his doubts.


    "Hur hur,that will have to depend on my mood. Doesn''t matter to me anyway. But you can''t not take this gamble! Lose, you''re a dead man. Win, you can go back and continue to be the Su Family''s young master! This is your only chance. Up to you whether you want to or not," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    "D-don''t . . . I want this chance! Of course I want this chance!" Su Yishan hurriedly said.


    This was Su Yishan''s sole lease on life. He would be a fool to give it up.


    Ye Yuan could completely make those demonic beasts destroy him right now, but he just had to find trouble for himself. How could Su Yishan give up this opportunity?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, you have to remember, you can only defend and not attack! Fully be my human sandbag! At that time, I''ll let Yuan Fei watch the battle by the side. If you have the slightest intention to attack, you''ll die horribly!"


    Su Yishan had certainly thought of harming Ye Yuan when the latter was feeding moves, but now that Ye Yuan said that, he immediately tossed this idea out of his mind.


    You got to be joking. A Tier 3 demonic beast watching the fight by the side, if he revealed even a trace of killing intent, the other party would finish him off without hesitation.


    If Ye Yuan was an ordinary Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, then forget about it. However, it was impossible for Su Yishan to kill in one strike with Ye Yuan''s practical combat abilities.


    Hence, he better obediently became his human sandbag.


    . . . . . .


    "Are you joking, Ye Yuan? You''re only at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, not even at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. How are you going to breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm? Ah! I know already! You must be messing with Su Yishan!" Nanfeng Zhirou was pleasantly surprised that she discovered something.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm within a few days is a must. It has to happen even if it can''t! If I don''t break through, I can''t even refine the Essence Yang Pill, and Lu-er can''t be saved. Therefore, I have to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm by hook or by crook."


    "But . . . you aren''t even half-step Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "What kind of crap is half-step Spirit Condensation Realm? Essence Qi Realm to Spirit Condensation Realm is meant to be done in one shot. You people separating it into half-step Spirit Condensation Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm are actually self-ruining your foundations, making Spirit Condensation Realm''s foundation unstable!" Upon mentioning half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan''s face was filled with contempt.


    "But . . . everybody impacts the Spirit Condensation Realm from half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. Could everyone be wrong?" Nanfeng Zhirou refused to accept.


    Ye Yuan retorted with a question after hearing that, "Are those everyone you say more amazing than my master when added up? My master said it''s good to break through directly. Do you think that he would harm me?"


    ". . ." Nanfeng Zhirou had nothing to refute with.

 Chapter 147: Commencing Breakthrough!

    Chapter 147: Commencing Breakthrough!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Rumble!


    An Eighth Layer Wave from Ye Yuan was easily warded off by Su Yishan.


    Chi!


    Another Absolute Yang Finger from Ye Yuan shot towards Su Yishan with abnormally fierce, incomparable force, but was defended by him again.


    However, Ye Yuan did not feel dispirited. In fact, he became more excited as he fought.


    He completely did not need to consider the problem of defense as he unleashed all the moves he knew over and over again.


    While the threat to Su Yishan was not great, the other party was very ragged looking.


    Ye Yuan''s attack was not something which could be released by the average Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Even if he did not use his strongest trump card, the Nine Swords Stance, his attacks could cause substantial damage to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    If Su Yishan had not broken through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, just these moves could exhaust him to death.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was attacking all out wildly while Su Yishan could only endure being hit. Under the waxing and waning, Ye Yuan''s attack became fiercer.


    Ye Yuan already continued the reckless attacks for two days.


    These two days, apart from eating, sleeping, and mediation, Ye Yuan spent the rest of the time training with Su Yishan.


    With such a free human sandbag, hitting it was very delightful and satisfactory.


    The more Ye Yuan hit, the more excited he got. The more he hit, the more he did not know fatigue. Sometimes, when he got excited, he could fight for several hours at a time.


    In contrast, Su Yishan was already on the verge of collapse being tormented by Ye Yuan.


    He simply could not understand how Ye Yuan had such incredible endurance when he was merely a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.


    With such a powerful attack, logically speaking, the expenditure of essence energy should be enormous. But Ye Yuan could fight for several hours at a time and did not need to consume Qi Returning Pills!


    Even if he was the one doing the frenzied attacks, he probably could not sustain for two hours!


    However, were Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm on the same level?


    Not that Su Yishan did not think of sneak attacking Ye Yuan, but Yuan Fei''s aura remained indistinctly locked onto him this whole time, leaving him not daring to make any reckless moves at all.


    Su Yishan believed that as long as he retaliated once, what awaited him was definitely a lightning blow!


    He had already witnessed the terror of this Ape King. He was completely unable to last even a round with him.


    These two days, Yuan Fei had also been observing Ye Yuan''s wanton attacks the whole time. At times, his gaze was shining. It was uncertain what he was thinking.


    Rather, it was Nanfeng Zhirou who had nothing to do these two days. But she also had a knot in her heart which was unresolved and was somewhat weighed down with worries.


    Ye Yuan had heard ''Nanfeng'' this surname. Most likely, he already guessed her identity.


    ''Nanfeng'' was the imperial surname. Nobody was unaware of it in the State of Qin.


    Nanfeng Zhirou and her aunty were already considered very good friends with Ye Yuan. But they had always concealed their identity. No matter what, it was not very justifiable.


    These two days, Ye Yuan was consolidating his cultivation realm at full force, so he completely did not bother about this matter. Once he broke through his cultivation realm, would he dig into this matter? Would he drift away from her?


    Nanfeng Zhirou started to become somewhat anxious about her gains and losses.


    . . . . . .


    After another day passed, Ye Yuan continued to unleash his wanton attacks on Su Yishan as usual.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan halted his attacks and sat down crossed-legged.


    Yuan Fei narrowed his eyes and seemed to have guessed something. His body moved, and he instantly appeared between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, isolating the two.


    Su Yishan also seemed to have guessed something and knew that it was impossible for Yuan Fei to give him the opportunity to get close to Ye Yuan. Hence, he withdrew to the sides sensibly and meditated on his own.


    Ye Yuan wanted to breakthrough, and Su Yishan also needed to recuperate.


    Though he did not feel that Ye Yuan could directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was still best to prepare for everything!


    What kind of joke was this? Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm directly breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Even his old man did not dare to do that back then!


    Not only his father, Su Yulin, but also Lord Dean, Wan Donghai, Nanfeng Yi, these well-known Crystal Formation Realm experts, who among them was not a peerless talent back then?


    But not one of them dared to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    What kind of joke was this?


    Transitioning from half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was the method to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm fumbled out by countless ancestors. Does Ye Yuan wish to challenge countless ancestors with his own strength?


    Even a genius like Su Yishan prepared for a full half years'' time.


    Back then when Nanfeng Zhirou broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, the amount of time she prepared for was a little lesser than Su Yishan, but there was still four to five months'' time.


    However, Ye Yuan did not make any preparations at all. He only used a few days to consolidate his cultivation realm and then directly initiated breakthrough.


    If he succeeded, then what did they, these so-called geniuses, even count as?


    Nanfeng Zhirou saw that Ye Yuan was preparing to breakthrough and also became nervous immediately.


    Even though Ye Yuan said it like he was very confident, this sort of matter like challenging the limits known to martial artists still made Nanfeng Zhirou feel quite worried.


    A major realm could not be broken through as and when one liked. Facing the breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm, nobody dared to be negligent in the least bit.


    Because if the assault failed, they would suffer varying degrees of injuries, possibly even facing the risk of a drop in cultivation!


    Although it could be cultivated back once more, the difficulty when impacting the bottleneck next time would increase tremendously!


    This was also why all martial artists would be extremely prudent when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    "You must succeed, Ye Yuan!" Nanfeng Zhirou silently cheered.


    She knew that if Ye Yuan could not break through, Lu-er would die for sure.


    Once Lu-er dies, the blow to Ye Yuan would definitely be huge!


    This was something which Nanfeng Zhirou did not wish to see.


    Ye Yuan just sat cross-legged like that for an hour, the aura on his body gradually stabilizing.


    His eyes suddenly snapped open. Retrieving a Spirit Surge Pill from his storage ring to consume, he said to Yuan Fei, "Yuan Fei, help to guard me. I''m going to begin the breakthrough. Eye Su Yishan properly and don''t let him escape."


    "Be at ease and breakthrough, Young Master. There''s Yuan Fei here for everything," Yuan Fei answered.


    Ye Yuan nodded and shut his eyes again.


    Not far away, Su Yishan witnessed this scene and was secretly alarmed in his heart.


    Ye Yuan could actually really communicate with this demonic beast!


    No wonder he could subdue this Tier 3 demonic beast!


    There was really innumerable secrets on Ye Yuan''s body!


    Ye Yuan adjusted his condition and consumed the Spirit Surge Pill, and he officially commenced the attempt to break through into the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    While the onlookers felt that Ye Yuan impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm was filled with incomparable danger, to the party involved, Ye Yuan, it was not really a very amazing thing.


    His understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy surpassed any so-called expert in the State of Qin considerably.


    Those Crystal Formation Realm experts'' understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan.


    To them, the Spirit Condensation Realm was a massive ridge. To Ye Yuan, the Spirit Condensation Realm was merely a small threshold; that''s all.


    The Spirit Surge Pill entering his abdomen was just like tossing a small pebble onto the surface of a peaceful lake; breaking the original equilibrium state of essence energy within Ye Yuan''s body.


    Practically instantaneously, the essence energy within Ye Yuan''s Dantian seethed!


    Woo! Woo!


    A whirlwind started to howl underneath Ye Yuan. This whirlwind continuously enlarged, expanding more, whipping up fallen leaves.


    The essence energy tempest! Commenced!

 Chapter 148: Nine Drops of Spirit Liquid!

    Chapter 148: Nine Drops of Spirit Liquid!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A vortex formed from the essence energy tempest brought forth a violent tornado, and this storm grew increasingly larger!


    The Endless Forest was originally a land rich with essence energy. Ye Yuan recklessly absorbed all the essence energy converging without any care, flowing into his dantian.


    "En? What''s going on? This essence energy storm is not right!" Su Yishan exclaimed in shock.


    Back then, the essence energy storm he caused when he himself broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm was simply a small apprentice in the presence of a great sorcerer when compared to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy tempest gave him the feeling like it was a great flood or savage beast, incomparably violent.


    With such violent and turbulent essence energy gushing into the dantian ceaselessly, would it not burst the dantian?


    "Hehe, burst it! Burst it! Let''s see how you posture after it bursts!" Su Yishan was chuckling inwardly over his misfortune.


    But just as he was taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, his collar was suddenly grabbed from behind, lifting him up like carrying a baby chick.


    Yuan Fei carried Su Yishan and speedily headed for the distance. Nanfeng Zhirou followed behind them.


    The essence energy tempest formed from Ye Yuan''s breakthrough grew larger and larger, almost about to spread over here. Hence, Yuan Fei decisively brought everyone to retreat a certain distance away.


    Su Yishan who was being dragged felt unbearable shame and humiliation. But facing a Tier 3 demonic beast, what could he do?


    He did not wish to end up like the Chang Brothers, being torn to shreds by those damnable apes!


    Yuan Fei landed far away after a few flashes; roughly a thousand feet away from Ye Yuan.


    Even with such a distance, they could still feel that surging essence energy storm.


    The expansion of the essence energy storm showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it grew even larger.


    Ye Yuan was situated in the eye of the essence energy storm, oblivious to all that was happening in the outside world. Currently, all of his thoughts were placed on refining essence energy.


    Unlike the wild essence energy in the outside world, the essence energy inside Ye Yuan''s body was impossibly tame.


    If the essence energy in the outside world was a violent wild beast, then the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was a powerful beast tamer. Essence energy which went through its domestication became very obedient.


    Ye Yuan was currently revolving the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Mortal Chapter''s second phase''s cultivation method. He also did not expect that breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm would actually require such an enormous amount of essence energy.


    No wonder Spirit Bristle Divine King that fellow was so powerful. This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, and the necessary essence energy was already so titanic. If one entered the Divine King Realm, just how terrifying would the quantity of essence energy required be?


    Ye Yuan was just like a diligent little bee, refining the essence energy non-stop using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, then sending it into his dantian.


    The essence energy within the dantian accumulated more and more, gradually inflating Ye Yuan''s dantian to the limit!


    And right now, the critical juncture of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm had arrived, and that was to gather the qi and liquefy it!


    However, Ye Yuan did not bother about the essence energy inside the dantian but continued to refine essence energy ceaselessly, steadily pouring it into the dantian.


    Ye Yuan''s dantian was inflated even much more bigger with the risk of exploding at any time! If he did not take measures right away, it could really be like how Su Yishan desired; stuffing the dantian so full it explodes!


    "No way right? Is Ye Yuan still refining essence energy? His dantian is probably about to explode from fullness, right? Turns out he didn''t even know how to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm! To actually wager with me by making such a shameless claim! Hahaha!" Su Yishan was full of delight from his misfortune.


    Nanfeng Zhirou glared viciously at him and said angrily, "Shut your mouth for me! If Ye Yuan dies, the Ape King will kill you too! Therefore, you''d better pray for him to survive. At least that way, you theoretically still have the possibility of staying alive!"


    Su Yishan was full of disdain as he said, "Even if he breaks through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it''s merely First Level Spirit Condensation Realm! I''m a small stage higher than him! You''re so sure that he can defeat me?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou sneered coldly and said, "Wasn''t Lin Tiancheng also a small stage higher than Ye Yuan back then? And what was his end result? Do you think that Ye Yuan is a fool? To suggest such a duel under the circumstance where he had no confidence? I dare to bet that as long as he enters the Spirit Condensation Realm, killing you will be as simple as slaughtering a dog!"


    "Humph! Then he has to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm first! You look at him. Right now, what''s the difference from suicide?" Su Yishan remained stubborn.


    Nanfeng Zhirou did not make any sound this time. Ye Yuan''s actions were truly no different from committing suicide!


    What Ye Yuan needed to do at this time was to gather the qi and liquefy it, not to refine essence energy. No matter how large a martial artist''s dantian was, it also could not contain so much essence energy!


    Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan in the distance; her eyes full of concern.


    Rather, it was Yuan Fei who stared at Ye Yuan glowing eyes, uncertain whether it was worry or reassurance on that ape face.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know what they were thinking. Just as his dantian was about to blow up, a warm qi flow poured into the dantian, enveloping the violent essence energy.


    This flow of qi was precisely the medicinal strength transformed from the Spirit Surge Pill!


    This flow of medicinal strength was just like a tight pocket; wrapping up all the inflated essence energy tightly inside. No matter how they swelled up, it was to no avail.


    With the assistance of the Spirit Surge Pill''s medicinal strength, Ye Yuan''s dantian swiftly recovered to its original size, while that newly refined essence energy was compressed by the medicinal strength!


    Finally, the essence energy within Ye Yuan''s body reached saturation. He was unable to continue refining essence energy, so he started to condense the gathered qi into liquid according to the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s method!


    As soon as the cultivation method was revolved, the essence energy within the dantian started to form a cyclone!


    While at the same time, the medicinal strength of the Spirit Surge Pill and the essence energy which were refined had fused together, causing the essence energy inside Ye Yuan''s dantian to become even more massive!


    The Spirit Surge Pill already contained massive amounts of essence energy to assist martial artists to breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm under the effects of other medicinal herbs.


    The pill formula of the Spirit Surge Pill was not much to Ye Yuan, but it could absolute give rise to a storm of blood in the State of Qin.


    This was the best supplementary medicinal pill which Ye Yuan knew to attack the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, the cyclone inside Ye Yuan''s dantian became increasingly smaller, and ever more condensed.


    The originally formless essence energy actually transformed into a hazy mist inside his dantian!


    However, the mist was unstable at the moment and had yet to truly form the liquid state of essence energy.


    This was also the most crucial moment of gathering qi to liquefy it!


    These mist seemed to be only a step away from liquefied essence energy, but this was also the most unstable period. Once a rebound occurred, the essence energy would swiftly return to its original state.


    If it was minor, the martial artist''s cultivation realm would fall. But if it was severe, the dantian would suffer damage, affecting future cultivation!


    The incredible aspect of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was that it was matchlessly tyrannical! With such an overbearing cultivation law, how could it possibly give these mist the opportunity to rebound?


    Under the overwhelming oppression of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, these mist finally continued to condense together!


    Drip!


    A liquid state of essence energy dripped down. The first Spirit Liquid had completely taken shape!


    However, this was merely the beginning!


    Drip . . . Drip . . .


    Drops of Spirit Liquid fell down. At the end, nine drops of Spirit Liquid completely took form!


    "Nine drops of spirit liquid huh? Didn''t expect that the breakthrough this time would actually be so perfect, way stronger compared to my previous life!" Ye Yuan gasped in admiration.


    However, the breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm was not over yet!

 Chapter 149: Divine Soul Transformation!

    Chapter 149: Divine Soul Transformation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "How is it? Dumbfounded, right?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou glanced at the slack-jawed Su Yishan and appeared to be very pleased with herself as if she was the one who broke through.


    Su Yishan was truly befuddled.


    The essence energy which Ye Yuan absorbed was multiple times of others!


    With such a colossal amount of essence energy, should it not burst the dantian?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was a natural-born freak with a dantian several times larger than the average person?


    What kind of joke was this?!


    This was not a genius but a freak! Looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, it totally did not look like his dantian was multiple times bigger than others!


    However, how on earth did he do it?


    "Hey, do you want to guess how many drops of spirit liquid Ye Yuan''s formed? I guess that it''s definitely seven drops, maybe even eight drops!"


    Su Yishan jumped like a cat that had its tail stepped on when he heard that. "Eight drops?! How''s that possible? Forget about our State of Qin, even in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect''s domain, the current highest record is just six drops! No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan is, seven drops is the pinnacle already. How can it possibly be eight drops?"


    "Why can''t it be possible? You said that it was impossible for him to break through directly to the Spirit Condensation Realm, but now, didn''t he break through? Furthermore, you also saw that essence energy storm just now. It was multiple times the size of when we broke through! Such a terrifying essence energy storm, condensing eight drops shouldn''t be strange either, right?"


    "Perhaps . . . Perhaps a lot of the essence energy was wasted by him? That must be it!"


    "Idiot! You still refuse to accept reality even now!" Nanfeng Zhirou could not be bothered with him anymore.


    Nine represented the pinnacle of numbers. As a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, the most was condensing nine drops of spirit liquid!


    During the process of martial artists cultivating essence energy, it was also the process of using essence energy to strengthen the entire body.


    It was just that the strengthening effects for the divine soul were too poor and very hard to detect.


    But every breakthrough in a major realm would cause a qualitative leap in terms of body strengthening. The divine soul would also follow and experience a qualitative change, resulting in a one-time transformation!


    However, even after martial artists break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and their dantian received an immense boost, it could at most endure a total of nine drops of spirit liquid.


    Any more would only result in the dantian to burst.


    Each one of these nine drops of spirit liquid contained a colossal amount of essence energy. Every drop was virtually the total sum of essence energy held in reserve by Essence Qi Realms. One could imagine just how formidable nine drops of spirit liquid was.


    However, for a martial artist to achieve nine drops of spirit liquid when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it could only be described using these words: as difficult as ascending to Heaven!


    The vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists condensed between one to three drops. Some genius martial artists could condense four drops and above.


    Such as Nanfeng Zhirou and Su Yishan, they both condensed four drops of spirit liquid!


    But above four drops, there would be a huge spike in difficulty!


    Because the more spirit liquid that was condensed, the more essence energy would be required. And a martial artist''s dantian simply could not support such horrifying essence energy.


    The reason why Long Tang could suppress all with his Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation was that he condensed five spirit liquid drops!


    Each realm breakthrough in the Spirit Condensation Realm, due to limitations of the dantian, could only once again condense the same amount formed at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    That was to say, when Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already had 15 spirit liquid drops, while other Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm students merely possessed 16 spirit liquid drops.


    To perception geniuses such as Long Tang, such a minute difference was simply unworthy of being mentioned. Hence, he could firmly occupy the place of number one on the Martial Roll!


    In other words, the number of spirit liquid drops condensed when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm represented the kind of heights a martial artist could reach in the future!


    Just think about it. When a nine spirit liquid drops martial artist is at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be nine by nine, 81 spirit liquid drops! While a one spirit liquid drop martial artist would only have nine spirit liquid drops.


    It was simply impossible to compensate for this sort of difference with other aspects!


    Of course, the vast majority of martial artists were at three drops and below. Hence, the difference between them would not be overly distinct.


    It was just that if three drops and below martial artists did not have any heaven-defying lucky chances, they would stop at the Spirit Condensation Realm in this lifetime. Desiring to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm would be impossibly difficult.


    To want to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, one must possess at least four spirit liquid drops and above. Even so, not everybody could break through to the Crystal Formation Realm.


    The more spirit liquid, the greater the chances of advancing to the Crystal Formation Realm.


    However, there were merely a meager two martial artists who condensed six spirit liquid drops when they were at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!


    One of them was the current Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Leader, Yan Traceless!


    The difficulty of condensing six spirit liquid drops was evident from this.


    As for seven drops and above, those were all myths . . .


    At least within the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s domain, condensing seven spirit liquid drops was completely unheard of!


    This was also the reason why Su Yishan was so astonished.


    Even if he did not believe Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops, he could not refute the fact that Ye Yuan condensed seven spirit liquid drops! That was because the quantity of essence energy which Ye Yuan absorbed just now exceeded the amount he absorbed back then by quite too much!


    It far surpassed the volume of essence energy required for six spirit liquid drops.


    Which was to say, Ye Yuan had already surpassed everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!


    This fact made Su Yishan infinitely depressed, endlessly jealous, and also utterly terrified.


    Sure enough, the degree of Ye Yuan''s monstrousness already far exceeded his understanding.


    Seven spirit liquid drops! That meant that no matter how casually Ye Yuan cultivated in the future, he could cultivate to the Crystal Formation Realm!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was already so terrifying while at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Now that he condensed seven spirit liquid drops in one go, what extent would his strength soar to?


    If he knew that Ye Yuan did not condense seven spirit liquid drops, but instead, the nine drops which he dared not even think about, who knew what he would think.


    In reality, not only Su Yishan dare not imagine it, but even Nanfeng Zhirou also did not dare to imagine that.


    She said eight spirit liquid drops just to ridicule Su Yishan. Honestly speaking, even she did not really believe that Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops.


    Because . . . that would be too inhuman!


    "Nine drops of spirit liquid huh? Didn''t expect that the breakthrough this time would actually be so perfect, way stronger compared to my previous life!" Ye Yuan also felt rather emotional.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan only condensed seven spirit liquid drops. Among the pinnacle powers in the Divine Realm, seven spirit liquid drops were not considered very impressive.


    The true-blue geniuses all condensed nine spirit liquid drops!


    In the Lower Realms, nine spirit liquid drops were something which only existed in the legends. But in the Divine Realm, there were a few people who could achieve it.


    Of course, that was also because Ye Yuan did not hold any interest in the Martial Path. Otherwise, with his degree of monstrousness, nine spirit liquid drops was not at all that amazing.


    But this time around, under the double effects of the Spirit Surge Pill and the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, he finally achieved the perfect nine spirit liquid drops.


    Right then, Ye Yuan suddenly felt his divine soul quiver and a head-splitting pain transmitted over.


    "Siiii . . . So painful! Is it starting?"


    Condensing spirit liquid was only fulfilling half of the breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm. There was still another half, which was the baptism of the divine soul!


    This was the true sense of the first qualitative change of the martial artist''s divine soul. It was of vital importance!

 Chapter 150: Sudden Change in Situation!

    Chapter 150: Sudden Change in Situation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Crack . . . Crack . . .


    The initially vast clear skies of the Endless Forest had an abrupt change and was covered up by layer upon layers of dark clouds.


    Countless streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, while the sound of rolling thunder came from the far away to near.


    "What happened? What''s going on?"


    Su Yishan''s complexion turned ashen. He had never seen such abnormal weather and could instinctively sense that things were not quite right.


    The feeling that this sudden change in the situation did not seem to have formed naturally. Rather, it seemed like a phenomenon brought about when some powerhouse broke through cultivation realms.


    Yuan Fei''s eyes shone like he seemed to know what was happening. Hence, he lightly patted Nanfeng Zhirou''s shoulder, and his other hand picking up Su Yishan like a baby chick as he shot away even further in the distance.


    This time around, Yuan Fei moved away even further away from Ye Yuan. A distance of several miles!


    Smack!


    Yuan Fei casually threw Su Yishan down, but his gaze was fixed firmly at the place Ye Yuan was breaking through.


    Nanfeng Zhirou also caught up right then as she stared at Yuan Fei in total bewilderment. She really wanted to ask Yuan Fei just what in the world happened, but they were unable to communicate so Yuan Fei would not understand even if she asked.


    But looking at Yuan Fei''s actions, could it be that the source of this phenomenon was actually Ye Yuan?


    How was this possible?


    Such a phenomenon was impossible to have even if one broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, let alone breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Just what on earth happened on Ye Yuan''s body?


    Su Yishan picked himself up rather miserably and just happened to meet Nanfeng Zhirou''s baffled gaze. He involuntarily became pissed. "Don''t look at me; how would I know what happened? This Ye Yuan is a natural-born freak! Freak! Freak!"


    Su Yishan did not dare to get mad at Yuan Fei, so he could only say ''freak'' three times consecutively to express his displeasure, and at the same time, conceal the deep shock within his heart.


    Through Yuan Fei''s reaction, Su Yishan clearly also realized that the source of this phenomenon was Ye Yuan.


    However, he just could not figure out how Ye Yuan could invoke such a horrifying phenomenon when he was merely breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was speechless for some time before she said, "Ye Yuan''s gathering qi and then liquefying it is already completed. Now, it should be the divine soul transformation. But would the divine soul transformation invoke such a phenomenon? Could it be due to him condensing seven spirit liquid drops?"


    "I already said that I don''t know! Divine soul transformation is just symbolical. How can it possibly trigger such a phenomenon?" Su Yishan said crossly.


    Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it for a long time and also could not come up with an explanation. She could only observe Ye Yuan''s movements closely.


    . . . . . .


    Meanwhile, over ten thousand miles away, at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, an old man filled with a sage-like bearing broke out of his seclusion and looked at the phenomenon in the distance with a grave expression.


    "It''s over at the Endless Forest. What happened? Could another Tier 4 demonic beast be born? But it''s also not possible for Tier 4 demonic beasts to trigger such a phenomenon!"


    . . . . . .


    Somewhere deep in the Endless Forest, an elderly man who was only skin and bones looked at the phenomenon towering the skies with a similarly solemn expression!


    "Which old demon broke through? Such a level of phenomenon is simply inconceivable! I''d better stay further away from him! Breaking through in the Endless Forest, doesn''t this fellow scared of provoking that old demon in there?"


    Although the elderly man was very curious about what happened, he still turned around and left without looking back.


    . . . . . .


    Over at the other side of the Endless Forest, this place was hailed as a land forbidden to humans, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. There were countless powerful demonic beasts within!


    In the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, inside a cave, a youth actually sat there cross-legged.


    The youth was presently training in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes. He murmured to himself, "It''s the aura of a human! To think that such a heaven-defying existence appeared once again among the humans! What a pity! I''m also at the most critical juncture right now. Otherwise, I would go and meet him."


    Finishing, the youth shut his eyes again, cutting off all of his senses.


    . . . . . .


    This instant, countless masters in the Endless World was startled by the phenomenon caused by Ye Yuan.


    It was just that no matter how they thought, they did not imagine that such a level of phenomenon was caused by a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm.


    However, Ye Yuan''s current body condition was not great.


    "Siii . . . Why is the divine soul transformation in the Spirit Condensation Realm so painful?!"


    Ye Yuan was currently experiencing a head-splitting pain, his divine soul feeling like it was being shredded, making him wish that he was dead.


    Ye Yuan had the past experience of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, so of course he knew what the Spirit Condensation Realm''s divine soul transformation was all about.


    But now, this sort of agony had greatly surpassed his experience.


    "Argh!!!"


    Ye Yuan finally could not take it anymore. He clutched his own head and started rolling around on the ground in anguish.


    In the distance, Nanfeng Zhirou who saw the situation was greatly alarmed. She was about to launch herself over when she was stopped by Yuan Fei.


    "Ape King, can''t you see how much pain Ye Yuan is in? Quickly go and save him!" Nanfeng Zhirou was almost in tears.


    Yuan Fei just shook his head and did not have any intention of heading over.


    "Yuan Fei! Ye Yuan is your master! If something happens to him, you''ll also suffer retribution!" Nanfeng Zhirou threatened when she saw that she could not persuade Yuan Fei.


    Yuan Fei waved his hands again and continued to be unmoved.


    Nanfeng Zhirou saw Ye Yuan rolling around non-stop on the ground appearing like he was in increasingly tormenting pain and could no longer endure it. She raised a palm to attack Yuan Fei.


    However, Yuan Fei''s speed was even greater than her''s. He directly gave a hand-chop to the back of Nanfeng Zhirou''s neck, and Nanfeng Zhirou promptly fainted.


    Su Yishan who was watching at the sides was unclear what was going on. Did this Yuan Fei really want to see Ye Yuan die?


    However, Yuan Fei did not give him much time to ponder. With the same hand-chop down, Su Yishan also fainted.


    Finishing these, Yuan Fei seated on the ground and quietly watched Ye Yuan who was struggling on the ground.


    The current Ye Yuan felt that his entire body was about to be ripped apart. Even as somebody who had been through two lives, he had never tasted this sort of feeling.


    Ji Qingyun was an expert in terms of souls. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to become the youngest Alchemy Emperor.


    However, he had never experienced this sort of torment even during his previous life where he broke through so many cultivation realms.


    This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Ye Yuan''s mind was on the verge of being extinguished. During this time, it was the desire towards life which sustained him, making his soul preserve that last trace of clarity and eternity!


    He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to take revenge!


    He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm and kill that traitor with his own hands!


    Ji Canglan was still living well in the Divine Realm. How could he, Ji Qingyun, die just like this?


    Ye Yuan was unresigned!


    Using his last trace of clarity, Ye Yuan revolved the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation!


    This was his first time revolving the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation in this lifetime. Because cultivating soul strength below the Spirit Condensation Realm did not hold any meaning whatsoever.


    Even so, Ye Yuan''s familiarity towards the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation originated from the deepest parts of the soul!


    In his previous life, he cultivated this technique countless times. This skill was akin to a part of his body!


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun did not hold much interest towards cultivation methods and was also uninterested in martial techniques. He was only infatuated with soul manuals!


    As an alchemist, Ji Qingyun could not do without soul manuals!


    However, the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation which had proved effective every time actually failed this time!


    How was this possible?!

 Chapter 151: Divine Text

    Chapter 151: Divine Text


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Arghhh! What''s going on?! Ye Yuan howled agonizingly in his mind.


    The Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation was an absolutely powerful soul cultivation method in the Divine Realm. Ji Qingyun and his father only became renown throughout the Divine Realm because of cultivating this technique.


    But now, even the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation could not resolve the issue of the divine soul tearing?


    It was but a one-time simple breakthrough. How could something like this happen?


    Just as Ye Yuan was completely helpless and hovering on the edge of absolute despair, his divine soul once again underwent an abnormal change!


    Numerous golden-colored unknown texts slowly drifted into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, akin to the trickling of a stream, immediately nourishing Ye Yuan''s divine soul!


    These golden texts were incomparably profound and mysterious. Each word vanished after entering Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, and Ye Yuan''s divine soul was also being repaired.


    Gradually, the pain of the divine soul being torn apart lessened, all the way until it disappeared entirely.


    However, the inflow of these gold texts did not end. They continued to enter Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness. Not only did it fully mend Ye Yuan''s divine soul, it even nourished Ye Yuan''s divine soul, strengthening it slowly!


    "Wh-what are these texts? To actually have such a miraculous effect?"


    Even being an illustrious Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, Ye Yuan had never seen such an abstruse and abnormal thing before. Merely the texts itself could strengthen the divine soul. Just what kind of heaven-defying means was this?!


    Could these texts be a soul cultivation method? Then if one grasped these texts, wouldn''t they become a heaven-defying existence?


    Could it be that these texts had already transcended this world and were the legendary Divine Script?


    For the sake of researching the Alchemy Path, Ye Yuan had read extensively on all books in his past life and learned countless languages.


    But he actually could not recognize any of these golden words!


    Where did these words come from? Why did they enter my sea of consciousness?


    Ye Yuan was currently full of doubts and questions.


    The breakthrough in cultivation realm this time was way too abnormal. It had already surpassed Ye Yuan''s understanding!


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul no longer hurt anymore, but to his dismay, he discovered that he could not do anything. He could only let those texts enter his sea of consciousness freely.


    Since he could not do anything, then Ye Yuan might as well just lay there and started to savor these golden texts.


    With this bout of savoring, Ye Yuan immediately felt that these golden texts were out of the ordinary.


    Between each brush and stroke, it divulged the allure of Dao. This was an indescribable sort of boundless feeling as if what these texts were currently describing was this stretch of Heaven and Earth!


    This feeling even gave Ye Yuan an illusion of tearing through the firmament.


    Ji Qingyun was formally a Divine King powerhouse, but his cultivation realm was completely piled up using medicinal pills. He did not necessarily have a very deep understanding of Heavenly Dao.


    Even so, he was a genuine Divine King. His comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.


    But when he looked at these texts, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding was worse than dog shit!


    In front of these characters, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding of Heavenly Dao was just like a toddler learning how to walk.


    Even if Ye Yuan could not understand them, the impact of the deep, resonant feeling of the boundless Great Dao contained within these words pierced deep into the soul!


    "Could these words really be the Divine Script? An existence lording above Divine King? But . . . where did they come from? Could it be that these texts automatically entered my sea of consciousness with my one-time breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm? But I didn''t step on sh*t today!"


    Ye Yuan knew that he picked up a treasure!


    With his knowledge and horizons, he naturally knew the extraordinariness of these words.


    Even the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was likely not as good when in front of these characters!


    Even if these characters were not the legendary Divine Script, it was also an existence which could cause a frenzy in the entire Divine Realm!


    Ye Yuan was certain that once somebody in the Divine Realm knew that he possessed these texts, they would tear his divine soul into shreds with any hesitation and use all kinds of methods to search it out from his sea of consciousness!


    Even if they could not understand the contents of these texts, just placing it inside the sea of consciousness and giving it a look every day would be tremendously helpful to martial artists.


    The maxim of Great Dao contained within these words might be able to . . . help lead martial artists towards the Deity Realm!


    It''s the Deity Realm!


    Just by thinking of these two words, Ye Yuan could not stop his body from trembling a little!


    Which martial artist did not yearn for the Deity Realm?


    Even Ji Qingyun who had no interest in the Martial Path in his previous life fervently pursued that legendary Alchemy God Realm!


    To want to become an Alchemy God, first, one''s divine soul must step into the Deity Realm!


    Without a deity level divine soul, how could one possibly refine out deity rank medicinal pills?


    Presently, Ye Yuan could leap ranks to refine medicinal pills because these pills were too low leveled. The requirements towards divine soul were not high.


    But as the level of the medicinal pill rose in tier, the difficulty of refining would also become increasingly difficult! Without the support of a powerful divine soul realm, it was impossible to refine them!


    If not for the sake of letting the divine soul undergo a transformation, Ye Yuan would not even be bothered to advance to the Divine King realm.


    The Deity Realm could absolutely drive all martial artists insane!


    Ye Yuan produced a series of conjectures about these golden texts.


    Firstly, could these golden texts be a soul cultivation method written using the Divine Script?


    Highly probable!


    That was because these texts could be used directly on the soul. Not only did it repair his damaged divine soul, it even nourished and strengthened his divine soul!


    Secondly, if one could completely comprehend these golden characters, did that mean that they could break through the chains of heaven and earth and gain access to that Deity Realm which enraptured all?


    Also possible!


    But Ye Yuan felt that it might not be so easy.


    The profundity of these golden texts could no longer be described using words. Even with Ye Yuan''s peerless talent, he was unable to comprehend one in ten-thousandth of it.


    It was easier said than done to want to comprehend it thoroughly.


    Apart from this, the reason for the Deity Realm to dwindle to zero was unknown. But most likely, it was not as easy to take that step as mastering a set of cultivation law. Even if this set of cultivation law was a Deity Realm cultivation method!


    One hundred thousand years ago, all the Deity Realm powerhouses in the Divine Realm vanished overnight!


    Nobody knew where they went and nobody knew why they disappeared. But ever since then, the Divine Realm had never given birth to another Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Not just that, all the secrets involving the Deity Realm also seemed to have vanished overnight since then.


    One hundred thousand years had passed and time had buried even more secrets in oblivion.


    Today, nobody knew how to break through to the Deity Realm anymore.


    In these hundred thousand years, there had been countless dazzlingly shocking geniuses who wanted to try all sorts of means to smash the fetters. In the end, it all came to naught.


    There were even some unrivaled powerhouses who fell during midway, leaving behind infinite regrets.


    Ji Qingyun had once been hailed as the genius figure most likely to break through to becoming an Alchemy God. But even that was only everyone''s flattery, or perhaps it was everyone''s affirmation of him.


    Because nobody truly felt that he could genuinely break through to the Alchemy God realm.


    That was because this was a hundred thousand year shackle! Nobody could break it apart!


    While Ye Yuan''s imaginations were running wild, that sheet of golden texts already completely entered Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    Just as Ye Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his entire being was like he got shocked by lightning. His divine soul also shuddered as tears started flowing out . . .

 Chapter 152: A Father’s Love Is Akin to a Mountain

    Chapter 152: A Father��s Love Is Akin to a Mountain


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, two faint silhouettes stood as they faced each other.


    Ye Yuan looked at this kindly but big and tall figure as he wept bitterly.


    "I''m so stupid! I''m so stupid! I''m so stupid! I should have long thought of this! In this whole wide world, who would do all this for me except for you?"


    Ye Yuan''s tears covered his face as his emotions were virtually crumbling.


    Ever since birth, Ye Yuan had always been calm and collected. He had never lost control of his emotions like this before.


    He had buried the hatred at the bottom of his heart all along and placed all of his energy on cultivation. He only hoped to be able to charge back to the Divine Realm one day and kill that traitor!


    But this time around, facing this person, he could no longer keep his cool.


    This was the father who raised him, taught him alchemy, and taught him cultivation: the most powerful Alchemy Emperor in the Divine Realm, Ji Zhengyang!


    A man would not shed tears easily unless his heart was broken!


    Ji Zhengyang had an amiable appearance and did not develop a baleful aura from being murdered by that traitor. His gaze toward Ye Yuan was filled with tender love.


    Ji Zhengyang smiled kindly and said, "Yun-er, to be able to see you reincarnate and get a new lease on life, Father is very comforted. Has all been well?"


    "Good . . . Good. . . Everything has been good for this child. I just often miss Father very much." Ye Yuan choked.


    "Haha, what''s the point of missing a dead person? Since you have a new identity, a new life, you should go and live that new life. Don''t wallow in the past. The Medicine King Hall is already the past. Things that had happened, just let them be," Ji Zhengyang smiled and said very nonchalantly.


    "How can I? Father''s debt of gratitude for raising me up, even if Yun-er is ground to dust, I wouldn''t dare to forget! And that traitor, how can I dispel my grinding hatred if I don''t tear his corpse to shreds?! Yun-er dare not forget the scene of Father''s death! With heaven''s grace, I, Ji Qingyun came back to life. How can I be considered human if I don''t avenge this enmity?"


    Ji Zhengyang stretched out an illusionary hand and lightly caressed Ye Yuan''s head like the past.


    Except, the current Ji Zhengyang was a remnant soul without a corporeal body. How could he touch Ye Yuan?


    However, Ji Zhengyang did not seem to mind this. Although his hand passed through Ye Yuan and did not touch anything, his face still revealed a satisfied smile.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan felt like a knife was twisting in his heart.


    "Oh Yun-er, you reviving is not some heaven''s blessing. It''s father who used a divine soul secret art to send you to the Lower Realms. But father did not send you to the Lower Realms to hope for you spend your days living in hatred and be blinded by hatred. That way, you would become a machine for revenge. That''s not the outcome I wish to see!" Ji Zhengyang sighed and said.


    Ye Yuan trembled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.


    Him reincarnating was actually due to father using a great arcane ability? How . . . How was this possible?


    However, Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and immediately said agitatedly, "Father, since you have this kind of powers, did you also arrange yourself to reincarnate? Where did you reincarnate? I . . . I''m going to find you!"


    Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "You''re overthinking it, Yun-er. Ji Canglan schemed for such a long time, how could he give Father a chance for my divine soul to escape? Back then, Father already expended all my effort to send you away. It was only because he underestimated Father''s strength that I could give you a slim chance of survival. At that time, my divine soul was almost entirely pulverized by him. It was at an extremely frail and weak state, but it did not dissipate. It was merely because his divine soul realm could not detect my presence. Hence, I concealed within the void and waited until he was killing you to execute an almighty deception secret art to make him think that your soul already dissipated. Then my remnant soul brought your divine soul to shuttle through the void and enter the Lower Realms."


    Only now did Ye Yuan knew that his reincarnation was not accidental, but a feeble thread of hope sought out for him by Ji Zhengyang risking the complete exhaustion of his divine soul.


    Ji Zhengyang described it easily, but Ye Yuan could feel the peril back then!


    Ji Canglan''s divine soul realm was not low, and it was absolutely impossible for him to not discover a remnant soul. Ji Zhengyang had to outsmart Ji Canglan''s probing and go into hiding, and he also needed to execute the secret art to make Ji Canglan think that Ye Yuan was already dead. Then he shattered the void to bring Ye Yuan to the Lower Realms.


    This process was an extremely huge drain on the divine soul.


    If not to save him, Ji Zhengyang completely had the ability to escape alone!


    With Ji Zhengyang''s divine soul realm, reincarnating was not something hard.


    However, Ji Zhengyang did not do so. Instead, he did everything he could to leave this thin thread of hope for him!


    This was the choice made by a father before he died!


    Such a father''s love akin to mountains and oceans, how should Ye Yuan repay it?


    He had no chance to!


    If he could, Ye Yuan would rather that the person who died was him!


    But Ye Yuan knew that his father''s remnant soul could not hold on much longer.


    This farewell would be forever!


    "Father, I . . ." When Ji Zhengyang finished talking, Ye Yuan was already choking through sobs.


    No one knew a man better than his own father. Ji Zhengyang had never doubted his son''s filial piety. Hence, he smiled and said, "Yun-er, Father did not tell you all these to make you think about revenge and whatnot. I only wish for you to know that Father only hope you will live on well and not become a machine seeking revenge."


    "But . . . But Ji Canglan is so treacherous. Are we going to let things go just like this?" Ye Yuan asked very unwillingly.


    Ji Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Father did not mean that. I also know I can''t stop your vengeance. You have your memories of your previous life. Ascending to the Divine Realm in the future is a certainty. You''ll also meet Ji Canglan sooner or later. But father does not wish for you to be completely clouded by hatred. What''s the difference between the such of you and a walking corpse? If you really kill Ji Canglan, then your life would completely lose meaning. At that time, you''ll also lose yourself, and your cultivation realm will no longer advance too. Yun-er, you have to halt your footsteps to pay attention to the people around you. Don''t let down their expectations of you. You . . . are no longer Ji Qingyun now!"


    Ye Yuan''s mind trembled. Images of Ye Hang, Ren Hongling, Lu-er, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Nanfeng Zhirou, Huyan Yon, Tang Yu, involuntarily appeared inside his head.


    That''s right. I''m no longer Ji Qingyun anymore! I''m currently Ye Yuan!


    I have a family, teachers, and friends!


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "Father, this child understands! Be at ease, I''m still your son, Ji Qingyun! However, I''m also Ye Hang and Ren Hongling''s son, Ye Yuan! I . . . won''t disappoint you all!"


    Ji Zhengyang had a smile in his eyes. Clearly, he was very pleased with his son.


    In fact, he had always been very pleased with his son ever since his birth!


    Even though they were separated by life and death today, it was enough for him to know that he was living on well.


    "Haha, when has my Yun-er ever disappointed me? However, you have to promise father, in the future when you return to the Divine Realm, you have to act within your capability. Never forcefully do things. While Ji Canglan might be powerful, it''s impossible for him to overturn the Medicine King Hall alone. There''s definitely an even more powerful person behind him!" Ji Zhengyang warned him.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Relax Father. This Child knows what to do! Father, this Child will definitely step into the Deity Realm in this lifetime and attain the long-cherished wish from our previous life!"

 Chapter 153: Medicine God’s Soul Canon!

    Chapter 153: Medicine God��s Soul Canon!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seeing Ye Yuan mention the Deity Realm, a yearning look also appeared on Ji Zhengyang''s face.


    "Deity Realm? That''s truly a long-cherished wish! Yun-er, Father believes that you can crack this hundred thousand year mystery and step into the Deity Realm!"


    Ji Zhengyang chose to believe Ye Yuan''s wildly rampant words when he heard it without any hesitation at all.


    "Father, you can actually send this child down to the Lower Realms to reincarnate. Just what realm did your divine soul reach?" Ye Yuan voiced out the query in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s previous life''s divine soul was also very powerful. Yet, he was unable to achieve reincarnation; let alone talked about resurrecting other people.


    Therefore, he was very curious just how strong Father was, to actually let him resurrect!


    Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "As long as you properly study the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, with your talent and perception, reaching my level is not something hard!"


    "Medicine God''s Soul Canon? Could it be those golden characters that entered my sea of consciousness?" Ye Yuan asked in amazement.


    "That''s right! Father''s divine soul realm subsequently soared fiercely due to the effects of studying the Medicine God''s Soul Canon daily."


    "So that''s how it is! No wonder Father can refine a half-step divine pill. So it''s actually due to obtaining such a mystical arcane canon! Could it be that Father''s divine soul really reached the legendary half-step Deity Realm?" Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    Ji Zhengyang shook his head and said with a smile, "What half-step divine pill? That''s all concocted by Ji Canglan. That medicinal pill was at most slightly stronger than peak Tier 9 medicinal pills. How can it be worthy of being called a half-step divine pill? As for divine soul realm, I''m still very far away from half-step Deity Realm! If I reached the half-step Deity Realm, how could Ji Canglan have the opportunity to lay hands on me? However, the more I understand the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, the more I feel that the Deity Realm is vague and abstruse!"


    Ye Yuan was also formerly at Divine King realm. He could naturally sense the mythical and illusory allure of the Deity Realm.


    But hearing Ji Zhengyang say that, he felt that the future would be riddled with difficulties.


    This Medicine God''s Soul Canon was so mystical, and it was actually unable to help Father step foot into the Deity Realm?


    "Father, where did you get this Medicine God''s Soul Canon from? Why have I never heard of it before?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "Father acquired this Medicine God''s Soul Canon from the Godsfall Mountain Range. But this Medicine God''s Soul Canon is only an incomplete canon. To this date, I also don''t know its origins. When I obtained it, it was only a tattered book, very inconspicuous. But when I used divine sense to inspect it, these golden characters actually automatically imprinted within my divine soul. I was also unable to retrieve it. I could only study it every day, all the way until my divine soul realm had some breakthrough, then only I was barely able to control these golden characters," Ji Zhengyang explained.


    "It''s actually the Godsfall Mountain Range! No wonder! Roughly ten years ago or so before Father died, you joined hands with numerous Divine King powerhouses to barge into the Godfall Mountain Range together. I''m afraid that the Medicine God''s Soul Canon was obtained during then, right?" Ye Yuan had a look of realization.


    Divine King experts were indeed pinnacle existences in the Divine Realm. However, it was not like they could travel freely anywhere around the world.


    In the Divine Realm, there were some forbidden places. Even if Divine King experts entered, just a moment of carelessness and there would be the risk of perishing!


    The Godsfall Mountain Range was one of them!


    As the name suggests, a place where even Deity Realm powerhouses had to perish, what did Divine King experts count for?


    Of course, there was another saying about the Godsfall Mountain Range. Countless eons ago, an earth-shattering great war took place in that place. Those participating in the great war were all Deity Realm powerhouses! In that battle, many Deity Realm experts fell. Hence, that place was later called the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    But too much time had passed. As for which saying was true, it could no longer be determined.


    Only one thing was certain, that was the Godfall Mountain Range was an extremely perilous place but also a place with tremendous lucky chances!


    This Medicine God''s Soul Canon might have been a soul cultivation method left behind by some Deity Realm expert!


    Ji Zhengyang nodded and said, "That''s right, it was obtained back then. You have also seen the Medicine God''s Soul Canon and should understand its allure. I was also unable to grasp these golden characters back then, so I temporarily did not tell you. Later on, when I planned to impart you the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, that unexpected incident happened. Sigh . . . Truly fate makes a fool out of men! With your talent, if you were given several hundred years to comprehend the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, you might really achieve Half-Deity Realm!


    To Divine King experts, several hundred years was not considered long. It might just be the duration of a retreat.


    For Ji Zhengyang to give Ye Yuan a time limit of merely several hundred years, it was clear just how confident he was in his son''s talent!


    But when Ye Yuan heard that, he said, "Father, perhaps this lifetime is my opportunity! In my previous life, I neglected the martial path. Even if I had acquired the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, I might not be able to reach Half-Deity Realm. In this life, I''ll pour my heart into the martial path and pursue that unparalleled Deity Realm. I absolutely won''t let Father down!"


    Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "I naturally won''t be disappointed. Father has already observed your new body. You cultivated very well, and your foundation is also very solid. You condensed nine spirit drops, and the divine soul transformation was also very flawless. As long as you take each step forward firmly, stepping into the Deity Realm in the future is definitely not a dream! Alright, time is almost up. Father should go. In the future when Father isn''t by your side, you have to take good care of yourself!"


    As he was talking, Ji Zhengyang''s body became increasingly faint. This was the sign of a remnant soul about to vanish!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes instantly blurred once again. The father and son barely managed to reunite, yet, it was so fleeting.


    This goodbye was forever!


    Ye Yuan desperately tried to grab hold of Ji Zhenyang, but how could he clutch a remnant soul on the verge of disappearing?


    "Don''t worry, Father. This child has already grown up. I''ll take good care of myself! I''ll definitely step into the Deity Realm in the future. Even if I have to try every means, I''ll definitely find a way to revive you!" Ye Yuan said with tears in his eyes.


    "Haha, silly boy. Life and death are set by the heaven. You just . . . have to . . . live well by . . . yourself and . . . that would do . . ."


    Ji Zhengyang''s remnant soul gradually become fainter, hazier, and finally vanished into nothingness . . .


    Once again watching his father leave him, Ye Yuan felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart. He only hated himself for being too weak. If he had Father''s former strength, he could surely hold onto Father''s divine soul and even revive him.


    But right now, he was unable to do anything!


    Ye Yuan once again experienced that sort of deep helplessness. He disliked this sort of feeling very much.


    "I, Ye Yuan, must definitely step into the Deity Realm in this lifetime! The heartless heavens treat everything as straw dogs! I, Ye Yuan, have to carve out my own Great Dao and oppose this Heaven!"


    At this point, Ye Yuan already returned to reality. Ye Yuan howled at the skies.


    At this point, Ye Yuan''s breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm was finally completed!


    The heaven and earth phenomenon faded away as if it had never appeared.


    Yuan Fei brought the unconscious Nanfeng Zhirou and Su Yishan in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had not yet completely recovered from his grief. Seeing Su Yishan, his killing intent involuntarily surged!

 Chapter 154: How Can You Be so Strong?

    Chapter 154: How Can You Be so Strong?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "I . . . What happened to me? Ah! Ye Yuan! You''re fine; that''s great!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou slowly woke up. Seeing Ye Yuan safe and sound, she could not help being overjoyed.


    Unknowingly, Nanfeng Zhirou''s concern towards Ye Yuan had already become an involuntary habit.


    "Hur hur, it''s just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm; what could happen?" Ye Yuan forcefully pressed down the grief in his heart and said with a forced smile.


    "But you really frightened people to death just now; rolling on the ground while clutching your head, I even thought you . . . I saw your distressing appearance and wanted to come over to help you, but I was knocked unconscious by this fellow! Humph! " Nanfeng Zhirou pointed at Yuan Fei and said with a displeased look.


    If not for Yuan Fei being too powerful, she probably would have swung her sword over at this time.


    "He''s right in not letting you come over, so don''t blame him anymore. My divine soul transformation is different from others. I''ll experience a type of special baptism, that''s why it''s so painful. Earlier, the several dozen feet radius around me was extremely dangerous. Your divine soul would have suffered injuries if you came over rashly," Ye Yuan explained.


    Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with suspicion and then looked at Yuan Fei. "Really?"


    "Of course it''s true. If not, you can feel my soul strength, and you''ll know that what I said isn''t false."


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan released his soul strength. Yuan Fei and Nanfeng Zhirou clearly felt that surge of soul strength.


    "You . . . You. . . You. . . actually directly broke through to middle-rank Alchemy Master''s soul strength?" Nanfeng Zhirou had a face as if she saw a ghost. Even her speech became stammers.


    By the side, Yuan Fei also found it unexpected. Two ape eyeballs flickered. Clearly, he was also very surprised.


    Under normal circumstances, a martial artist''s soul strength followed their cultivation realm. The level of cultivation would possess a matching soul strength, apart from those people with naturally powerful divine souls.


    Before Ye Yuan''s broke through, his divine soul was roughly the same as the average person. Even if he went through divine soul transformation, it should have only been to the extent of low-rank Alchemy Master soul strength. How could he directly possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t I say just now? My divine soul transformation is different from others. Having experienced such a painful divine soul baptism, what I obtained was naturally more than others."


    "But . . . But. . . if you possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, wouldn''t you be able to directly refine high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills?" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.


    She recalled that Ye Yuan could refine Tier 2 medicinal pills when he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Then did that not mean that he possessed the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Master at minimum currently?


    Wasn''t this too quick?


    "High-grade Tier 2? Even if I didn''t reach middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, that''s also not an issue."


    To Ye Yuan, these medicinal pills from the State of Qin had no challenge at all. Refining high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills were too easy.


    The real challenge was those medicinal pills which surpassed high-grade Tier 2. If Ye Yuan''s soul strength did not have a breakthrough, there might really be some difficulties in refining it.


    After all, Tier 2 medicinal pills were way harder than Tier 1 medicinal pills. To go even further by leaping ranks to refine medicinal pills, the difficulty naturally also increased.


    Nanfeng Zhirou sucked in a deep breath before saying, "Su Yishan was really spot-on about something."


    Ye Yuan was stunned and asked, "What did he say about me?"


    "You''re a freak! Freak! Freak!"


    It was rare for Nanfeng Zhirou to acknowledge something Su Yishan said because each and everything that happened on Ye Yuan''s body could not be described using the word ''normal,'' so it could only be described using ''freak.''


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How rare for Su Yishan''s appraisal of me to be so high. In order to thank him, I''ll give him a chance to fight fairly!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly startled when she heard that and quickly said, "You aren''t really going to go one-on-one with him, right? You just broke through! With Yuan Fei and me around, you don''t have to be swayed by personal feelings!"


    The meaning of that was that Ye Yuan was obviously not Su Yishan''s match.


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s thinking was not wrong. Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very strong and he was surely even more impressive after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had just broken through after all, and Su Yishan was three minor realms higher than him. This distance could not be compensated so easily.


    Nanfeng Zhirou knew that after the Spirit Condensation Realm, jumping ranks to battle would be even more difficult because the disparity between each minor realm was even greater.


    A three spirit liquid drops First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who likewise condensed three spirit liquid drops, there was a whole three spirit liquid drops difference between them. That also meant that the difference in essence energy quantity between them was 100%!


    It was very hard to compensate for this sort of disparity without heaven-defying methods!


    Between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, there was a full three minor realms gap between them. There was even a minor stage in-between.


    The disparity in-between was too big!


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Relax, I know what I''m doing."


    Right then, Su Yishan also slowly awakened.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s currently sizing him up with ill intentions, his heart shivered for no reason.


    "Come on, Su Yishan! I said that I''ll give you the chance to duel me. Now, let''s carry out a one-on-one deathmatch!" Ye Yuan''s words carried an imposing air as if he showed disdain on everyone.


    "You . . . You really want to go one-on-one with me?" Su Yishan clearly also did not dare to believe it.


    Ye Yuan''s advantage over here was too clear. There was simply no need to do this sort of foolish thing.


    "What? You''re unwilling?" Ye Yuan''s tone turned icy.


    "Willing! Of course I''m willing!" Su Yishan hurriedly responded.


    At this point, he already had no choice. Since Ye Yuan himself was being stupid, then wouldn''t he be as dumb as Ye Yuan if he did not grasp this opportunity well?


    It was just that he was worried Ye Yuan merely only using him to measure his strength, and he would still make Yuan Fei kill him in the end.


    If it were him, he would definitely do that.


    "You don''t have to worry; Yuan Fei and Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng won''t attack! As long as you can kill me, you can leave this place. I''ll make Yuan Fei hold back Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng and not let her attack," Ye Yuan saw through Su Yishan''s concerns and said calmly.


    "Ye Yuan, you!" Nanfeng Zhirou immediately jumped up but was held back by Yuan Fei.


    Su Yishan could not help becoming ecstatic when he saw this scene.


    These few days had been too aggrieved for him. Having lived for nearly twenty years, he had never suffered such injustice before!


    "Haha . . . Ye Yuan, you asked for it yourself, then don''t blame me for not holding back! You aren''t na?ve enough to think that you''re really my match after just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, right? One-on-one isn''t the time for being a training partner anymore!" Su Yishan laughed madly.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "So much crap. Come on!"


    "You''re courting death, Ye Yuan!" Su Yishan gritted his teeth and attacked Ye Yuan with a punch.


    If in the past, Ye Yuan would definitely evade this punch at the first moment. But now, Ye Yuan did not run or dodge, he directly struck out with an Eighth Layer Wave. The two of them clashed together!


    Rumble!


    After an intense collision, the pair each retreated several steps.


    An incredulous shock was written all over Su Yishani''s face. "Didn''t you just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm? How can you be this strong?!"

 Chapter 155: Venting Emotions!

    Chapter 155: Venting Emotions!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Su Yishan was all too familiar with Ye Yuan''s moves!


    Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layered Wave!


    But the question was how could the Eighth Layered Wave have such incredible power?


    It was actually not at a disadvantage when clashing with his palm!


    No matter how strong the Eighth Layered Wave was, it was just a Tier 1 martial technique.


    Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. A First Level Spirit Condensation Realm using a Tier 1 martial technique could actually have a draw with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist like him?


    Since when were Tier 1 martial techniques so powerful?


    Since when were First Level Spirit Condensation Realms so strong?


    Ye Yuan curled his lips and said with displeasure, "Indeed, Tier 1 martial techniques are no longer suitable!"


    Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Apart from the movement technique Spirit Void Shattering Space, all his martial techniques including the Absolute Yang Finger were all Tier 1 martial techniques.


    Using a Tier 1 martial technique to battle a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was clearly not quite enough.


    That clash just now looked to be evenly-matched, but in reality, he was at a clear disadvantage.


    The impact Ye Yuan suffered was much greater than Su Yishan''s. The distance he retreated was also farther.


    Nanfeng Zhirou also had her mouth wide open when she saw this scene and no longer struggled in Yuan Fei''s arms.


    It was very clear that this scene gave her a similarly huge shock.


    Even though that palm from Su Yishan just now was not his strongest move, he did not hold back any strength.


    Middle-rank Tier 2 martial technique plus Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength; no matter how one looked at it, the outcome should be Ye Yuan heavily injured and puking blood. However, Ye Yuan merely moved back a few steps.


    Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought of something and asked out loud, "Ye Yuan, just how many drops of spirit liquid did you condense?"


    With Nanfeng Zhirou asking, Su Yishan also perked up his ears. He was also very curious whether it was seven drops or eight drops.


    Ye Yuan did not turn his head back and just said casually, "Nine drops."


    Su Yishan''s eyes popped out. "Ni-nine drops? Impossible! How can there possibly be a person who can condense out nine spirit liquid drops in this world and not have their dantian burst?"


    Ye Yuan said calmly, "You don''t know, doesn''t mean that there isn''t. The State of Qin is merely a small place. You are but a frog at the bottom of a well."


    "What kind of joke is this? I don''t believe it! Frog at the bottom of a well? You said it like you aren''t someone from the State of Qin! Haha, I know, you must have only condensed seven drops and want to make yourself look good. Either that or you''re trying to shake my state of mind!"


    Not that Su Yishan was unwilling to believe, but because nine spirit liquid drops were truly even more mythical than legends. The way he perceived it, it was completely impossible to appear.


    And yet, Ye Yuan said he condensed nine spirit liquid drops, shattering the absolute of Su Yishan''s knowledge. Hence, he chose to not believe.


    But deep down inside, a discordant voice was telling Su Yishan that what Ye Yuan said was true!


    Otherwise, how could one explain why Ye Yuan could pair a Tier 1 martial technique with his First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and be equally matched with him?


    Even though Su Yishan had never seen seven spirit liquid drops martial artists, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for seven spirit liquid drops martial artists to possess such a powerful strength!


    That was to say, Ye Yuan condensed at least eight spirit liquid drops, maybe even the nine drops which Su Yishan was reluctant to admit!


    "I was just stating a fact, not to make you believe it. It doesn''t matter whether you believe it or not; the outcome won''t change," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    "Humph! I don''t believe you then! No matter how monstrous you are, you''re just at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Can you oppose the heaven?" Su Yishan said indignantly.


    After that, Su Yishan rushed forward and collided together with Ye Yuan.


    The pair''s movement techniques were quick to the extreme. They turned into two streaks of afterimages and clashed together non-stop. In a blink, they had crossed over a dozen exchanges!


    Su Yishan''s movement technique goes without saying. He also trained in a high-grade Tier 2 movement technique, not at all inferior to Nanfeng Zhirou''s Spirit Swallow Dance!


    However, after Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and had the support of immense essence energy, the true might of the first stage of the Spirit Void Shattering Space also emerged!


    His speed was actually even slightly faster than Su Yishan!


    Outsiders could not tell, but Su Yishan''s senses were incomparably clear.


    Just because of that tiny bit, his attack was forever half a beat slower than Ye Yuan''s. This also resulted in him being unable to unleash his full power each time.


    Ye Yuan''s Eighth Layer Wave and Absolute Yang Finger were Tier 1 martial techniques with tremendous power. Especially the Absolute Yang Finger, its power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as it was during the Essence Qi Realm.


    While it could not cause real harm to Su Yishan, it made him unable to leave it unrestrained.


    Ye Yuan made use of this half a beat advantage coupled with the powerful might of the Absolute Yang Finger and the Eighth Layered Wave to forcefully fight Su Yishan to a draw!


    This sort of feeling made Su Yishan so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.


    Currently, he was somewhat regretting playing such large stakes with Ye Yuan. He should have used his most powerful move right from the start and fight Ye Yuan to the death.


    Under the current situation, it was no longer possible even if he wanted to withdraw from the fight.


    It was like Ye Yuan went mad. He pestered him dead from the start till the end without giving him any chance to catch his breath.


    "Damn it! To think that his movement technique is so strong. I fell for his trick!" Su Yishan silently cursed as he dealt with things.


    His present thoughts were very simple. To find a chance to break free from the battle and then unleash a big move!


    However, Ye Yuan just refused to give him this chance.


    The current Ye Yuan was like an old bull which did not know fatigue. All his moves ''greeted'' Su Yishan''s body like a raging tempest.


    Having just parted forever with his father, Ye Yuan''s heart carried boundless grief. He turned this sorrow into battle power and unleashed it all on Su Yishan''s body!


    The current Su Yishan was just the target to vent the emotions in his heart.


    Just like this, the two of them exchange over a hundred rounds in a hundred breaths of time!


    Boom!


    Another clash, but this time the pair separated.


    Ye Yuan finally gave up his entanglement with Su Yishan. The negative emotions in his heart were almost vented finish.


    After pulling apart, the pair were panting heavily. Clearly, such high-frequency clashes were very taxing on their stamina and essence energy.


    After panting a few times, Su Yishan recovered first. He said furiously to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, don''t think that you''re very impressive just because your movement technique is fast! If you have the capability, try breaking apart this move of mine for me to see!"


    Finishing, Su Yishan raised both palms towards the skies. It was precisely the starting motion of the Heaven Flipping Palm!


    Su Yishan was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Displaying the Heaven Flipping Palm right now could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as back in the academy!


    An astonishing aura undulated out. It actually made people feel that the sky was rent asunder and the earth was split open.


    Ye Yuan breathed in deeply and recollected his feelings. He took out the Canghua Sword and said lightly, "The warmup exercise is already done. Now, I''ll send you on your way with the Nine Swords Stance which was completed because of you guys'' assassination!"


    Finishing, his silhouette split, and nine Ye Yuans appeared in front of Su Yishan''s eyes.


    Su Yishan''s pupils involuntarily shrunk when he saw the situation. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually still hiding such a formidable move!


    Chang One''s fight only lasted for an instant. Back then, he was battling with Nanfeng Zhirou and did not witness how Ye Yuan avoided the assassination.


    Also, during the subsequent spars, Ye Yuan did not use this move either.


    No matter how one looked at this, the nine silhouettes gave Su Yishan an enormous shock!

 Chapter 156: Divine Soul Mystic Art!

    Chapter 156: Divine Soul Mystic Art!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A terrifying sword intent similarly undulated out, clashing with Su Yishan''s aura. It was actually not at a disadvantage at all.


    Su Yishan had an extremely strong impression of this sword intent.


    Back then, for Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan was put into a sorry state by Ye Yuan. It was due to being struck by this sword intent.


    However, the current Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art could not be mentioned in the same breath as it originally was anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s sword intent realm was exceedingly high. It was just that he did not have the essence energy to match it.


    The Ye Yuan today had already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and condensed nine spirit liquid drops. Displaying the might of the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art would naturally be several levels higher than what it was in the Essence Qi Realm!


    Ye Yuan no longer lined up in a straight line when he executed the Nine Swords Stance this time, but instead, it was nine disorganized figures.


    After the Nine Swords Stance was completed, Ye Yuan could already freely display these nine silhouettes and also freely control the timing of releasing the sword beams.


    This way, the might of the Nine Swords Stance would be much greater.


    The sword beams released by the nine disorderly silhouettes would be much harder to defend than if they lined up in a row.


    Also, Ye Yuan now could freely adjust the entire sword beam releasing duration according to the opponent''s situation.


    This alteration in rhythm was the hardest to be on guard against.


    If the opponent was not overwhelmingly more powerful than Ye Yuan, then how could they defend the second sword beam when they had just blocked one sword beam and not mustered up new strength?


    This was the greatest aspect of this Nine Swords Stance that Ye Yuan created!


    Powerful sword intent synchronizing with multi-varied attacks could let Ye Yuan''s power soar once again!


    Su Yishan instinctively sensed that things were not right. But right now, it was like a notched arrow that had to be released.


    Since he could not differentiate which was Ye Yuan''s true body, he would just directly sweep across with the wind from his palm!


    With his powerful strength of Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would directly crush Ye Yuan!


    Even if Ye Yuan had condensed nine spirit liquid drops, the disparity between them was still enormous. If he did not make good use of this advantage, then he would have completely no chance of victory at all today.


    The Heaven Flipping Palm by itself held incredible power. Among the Su Family''s Tier 2 martial techniques, it was also a pinnacle existence.


    After breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan had faith that he could rely on the Heaven Flipping Palm to crush Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!


    Su Yishan was indeed a genius. He also had rich experience in being in critical situations and was not those sort of flowers which grew up in a greenhouse.


    But sadly . . . he met Ye Yuan!


    Just as he was prepared to release the Heaven Flipping Palm, his brain suddenly blanked out. His divine soul sunk into a disoriented and hazy state!


    However, Su Yishan rapidly regained consciousness.


    Except that when experts exchange blows, that split second of delay was ample to cause lethality.


    The nine sword beams whistled out and arrived in front of Su Yishan dazzlingly. Su Yishan only regained consciousness at this time. It was already too late to want to circulate his strength to defend.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Nine sword beams struck Su Yishan''s body solidly and instantly broke his protective essence energy, destroying his internal organs.


    What happened . . . This was the last thought that went through Su Yishan''s mind. But he would never know.


    Nanfeng Zhirou swallowed hard and felt somewhat parched.


    What in the world happened just now? She also really wanted to know.


    At that final moment just now, Su Yishan clearly hesitated for a bit. Just that short moment cost him his life.


    But in that sort of life and death juncture, why would he waver? Was this any different from suiciding?


    Nanfeng Zhirou knew that it was definitely something Ye Yuan did. But she did not know what method he used.


    Speaking of which, after Su Yishan broke through in cultivation realm, he was actually already on par with her. Ye Yuan could kill Su Yishan, so he naturally also had the ability to kill her.


    Nanfeng Zhirou unwittingly thought back to two months ago, that scene where she almost killed Ye Yuan.


    Just two months and he already caught up, even surpassed her?


    To think that she, Nanfeng Zhirou, had always boasted she was a genius. But in front of Ye Yuan, she was nothing!


    "Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng? Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng?"


    "Uh, ah? What is it?" Nanfeng Zhirou only reacted after Ye Yuan called out twice in a row.


    "It''s late. We should go."


    It had already been five to six days since they entered the Endless Forest and Ye Yuan still had two medicinal herbs which he had not acquired.


    Since this matter was settled, he naturally did not want to continue delaying.


    If not for the fact that he needed to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan would have long let Yuan Fei kill Su Yishan and would not have let so many things happen.


    Nanfeng Zhirou followed behind Ye Yuan somewhat dejectedly, utterly unlike her usual self.


    Along the way, the two were very silent. Neither opened their mouth to speak.


    After four hours, Nanfeng Zhirou finally could not resist and opened her mouth to ask, "Ye Yuan, don''t you have anything you want to ask?"


    "When you want to talk, you''ll obviously say it. If you don''t want to talk, then it''s also meaningless if I ask." Ye Yuan just replied nonchalantly without turning his head back.


    Nanfeng Zhirou glared at Ye Yuan''s back view somewhat resentfully and said discontentedly with pouting lips, "Tch, this guy who doesn''t understand women! This Princess will talk about it, alright? My father is Nanfeng Yi. I''m called Nanfeng Zhirou. My aunt is called Nanfeng Ruoqing. My father is the ruler of the State of Qin. Is this fine?"


    "I already knew this long ago."


    "I know that you are aware, but you should at least show me your attitude, right?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was so exasperated by Ye Yuan that she gritted her teeth and halted her steps to stomp her feet. She shouted loudly at Ye Yuan''s back view, "Hiding our identities from you is my aunt and my fault, but we also have difficulties that we can''t say. It''s so inconvenient to enter the academy with my aunt and my identity. That''s why we concealed our surnames. Initially, I also planned on telling you when we get back, but didn''t I not have the opportunity this whole time?"


    Ye Yuan also stopped and turned around. Looking at Nanfeng Zhirou, he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng is thinking too much. If I really have any attitude, I would have long left you behind and ignored you and not stand here talking to you. Not having an attitude is the best attitude."


    Nanfeng Zhirou bit her lips and then said angrily, "Then why didn''t you say that earlier. I even thought that you were really angry."


    "You also didn''t ask me," Ye Yuan replied very innocently.


    Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it and felt so too. It seemed like it had just been her imagining all sorts of things from the start. She had not even asked this fellow.


    Perhaps even this matter of concealing their identities did not count as something in this guy''s heart?


    "Fine then. I was the one who imagined things! Then you tell me. When you killed Su Yishan, why did he slow down by half a beat?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou had a carefree personality. Knowing that Ye Yuan was not angry, this matter was directly filtered out by her.


    Nanfeng Zhirou became that unruly little princess once again.


    "About that . . . It''s a divine soul mystic art, the God Stunning Spike. It can make people lose focus for a short period of time," Ye Yuan did not have any intention of hiding it and said it directly.


    "Divine soul mystic art! You actually even know divine soul mystic arts!" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in astonishment.


    "This is just the shallowest type of divine soul mystic art. What''s there to get excited about?"


    Not that Ye Yuan was posturing, but this God Stunning Spike was really the crudest one among the divine soul mystic arts he knew.

 Chapter 157: Demonic Beasts’ Fierce Battle

    Chapter 157: Demonic Beasts�� Fierce Battle


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The God Stunning Spike was just a simple way of using soul strength to attack the opponent''s divine soul. It was not all that profound.


    If Su Yishan were prepared beforehand, Ye Yuan would not even have succeeded.


    After all, Ye Yuan only had middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength; it was roughly the same as Su Yishan.


    This attack of his took him by surprise.


    Of course, divine soul mystic arts were not much to Ye Yuan. But in mortal countries like the State of Qin, it was absolutely an exceedingly rare existence.


    Even if it was the crudest type of divine soul mystic art!


    When the State of Qin''s martial artists fought, they would not even think of the other party using divine soul mystic arts, because this thing was too rare.


    Hence, martial artists who possessed divine soul mystic arts tend to succeed in sneak attacks.


    It was just that too few people knew it; so scarce that there simply wasn''t any need to be on guard against it. There was no need to go so far as to be on guard against the opposing party''s divine soul mystic art every time one fought a battle. Being distracted like that was, on the contrary, a big taboo.


    "Yeah, I should have thought of it long ago. Other than divine soul mystic arts, how could Su Yishan have made this kind of low-level mistake?" Nanfeng Zhirou muttered.


    Ye Yuan turned to go. Nanfeng Zhirou quickly recovered and hurriedly chased after, grabbing hold of Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, teach me this divine soul mystic art, okay?"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not okay!"


    Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou''s face change instantly, Ye Yuan quickly said, "Right now, your matter at hand is to cultivate the Water Defying Incantation. Wasting time on other matters would only delay your cultivation. After your Water Defying Incantation is completed, I''ll teach you an even stronger one!"


    Only now did Nanfeng Zhirou''s rage transform into joy as she said, "You were the one who said it! If at that time, you don''t teach me, I will . . . I will . . ."


    Nanfeng Zhirou said "I will" for a long time and could not think of an even better threat.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was already no longer beneath hers. What could she threaten Ye Yuan with?


    "Relax. I have plenty of divine soul mystic arts. As long as you can cultivate to a sufficient realm, I have as many as you want! Let''s go!" Ye Yuan said very generously.


    The previous life''s Ye Yuan virtually gave up on the Martial Path but had researched quite a bit in terms of divine soul. Therefore, he also cultivated many divine soul mystic arts.


    Of course, the aim of him cultivating the divine soul was still for alchemy. These divine soul mystic arts helped Ye Yuan to better understand the divine soul. He naturally enjoyed it tirelessly.


    . . . . . .


    A day later, Ye Yuan brought Nanfeng Zhirou and Yuan Fei to the Gray Pine Forest to harvest the Pine Yang Fruit.


    This place obviously also had powerful demonic beasts to guard it. However, it was merely a Tier 2 demonic beast.


    Ye Yuan released Yuan Fei, and that demonic beast immediately started quaking. It did not reveal the slightest hostility from the start till the end.


    The hierarchy in the demonic beast world was more stringent. When a Tier 2 demonic beast faced a Tier 3 demonic beast, there was only the word ''submission.''


    Obtaining the Pine Yang Fruit effortlessly, Ye Yuan and the rest rushed to the Blackwater Ravine. It was also the habitat of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python.


    The Blackwater Ravine was to the east of the Crimson Summit Ridge, roughly over a thousand miles away. It was six hundred miles from the borders of the Endless Forest and also an extremely perilous land.


    But to the current Ye Yuan, it was not all that dangerous.


    With a Tier 3 demonic beast following by his side, he could go anywhere he wanted to in the thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest.


    However, Ye Yuan normally would not let Yuan Fei follow by his side, but made him stay inside the spatial artifact.


    Not only there were many students participating in the trial inside the Endless Forest, but there were also even more demonic beasts hunters. If they encountered anyone, they could only silence them permanently.


    Ye Yuan did not wish to murder innocents, so it was better to lay low.


    Also, Ye Yuan had the intention of tempering himself when he entered the Endless Forest. If he made Yuan Fei take the front for everything, it would lose the meaning of tempering.


    A day later, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou finally arrived at the Blackwater Ravine.


    This place had babbling brooks with a beautiful forest. It was quite a nice place to go to.


    The six hundred mile region is a boundary. Here, Tier 1 demonic beasts and Tier 2 demonic beasts mingled together.


    Of course, this was also not an absolute assumption.


    However, that martial artist which Ye Yuan treated was pretty unlucky. To have encountered the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python here could be considered super lucky.


    According to the description by that martial artist, Ye Yuan determined that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python might be Middle Stage Tier 2. This strength might not require Yuan Fei to come out. He might be able to handle it himself.


    But Ye Yuan did not dare to be negligent. The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python did not only have a formidable poisonous breathe, but its fleshy body was also very powerful. If one were to accidentally brush past by it, they would definitely suffer.


    "According to the records, this Blackwater Ravine was originally a late-stage Tier 1 demonic beast''s territory. But who knew when it became occupied by the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. I reckon that there must be something that the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python likes here. Otherwise, it would not cling to this place. We might even obtain something nice." Ye Yuan transmitted his voice to Nanfeng Zhirou.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was already long used to Ye Yuan''s encyclopedic knowledge. She just asked, "Then what do we do now? Lure it out and kill it?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No rush. Let''s sneak inside and check out the situation first."


    The pair swallowed the Breath Concealing Pill and quietly sneaked into the Blackwater Ravine.


    Traversing past layers of the dense forest, the two finally arrived close to the stream of water.


    But right at that moment, from an empty space beside the stream, a series of intense fighting clamors sounded out.


    Ye Yuan pulled aside the tree leaves to sneak a glance and actually saw two demonic beasts currently in the midst of a fierce battle.


    One of them was a black python, roughly ten foot long. Looking closely, one could see that there was indeed a seven-colored stripe at its vital point. It was precisely the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python!


    And the other demonic beast was a mighty white tiger; similarly a Tier 2 demonic beast.


    Except that the white tiger''s strength was a stage lower than the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python; just low-stage Tier 2.


    The battle between the two was very intense. However, the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python clearly held the absolute upper-hand. That white tiger was currently already covered in injuries.


    Bright red blood completely dyed that body of white fur, making it look very miserable.


    However, that white tiger seemed to be very stubborn. It refused to take even a step back despite being injured to such an extent. Instead, it roared and took the initiative to attack the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python.


    That manner of appearance showed that it clearly intended on taking it down with it.


    "Ye Yuan, why doesn''t that white tiger run away when it can''t beat it?" Nanfeng Zhirou transmitted. Evidently, she also found it very strange.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and similarly transmitted his voice. "No idea. Maybe it has some reason that it can''t retreat?"


    "Demonic beasts also have reasons? I think it''s just stupid and just have to fight to the death with that python. Could they be snatching territories? Such severe injuries, even if it wins, it most likely won''t be able to survive."


    "All life has spirituality. Even demonic beasts have feelings. You''ve also seen Yuan Fei. Low-tier demonic beasts don''t have such complex emotions. But it refuses to fall back despite knowing that it''s no match for it. I''m afraid that it really has its reasons."


    While speaking, Ye Yuan pulled the tree leaves aside even more. The pair''s visual field became even wider.


    Entering their sight was a tiny white tiger the size of a cat was currently quivering there.


    Nanfeng Zhirou could not contain her surprise as she turned to look at Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 158: Sword Driving Technique!

    Chapter 158: Sword Driving Technique!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The little white tiger bared its fangs as the fur on its entire body stood on its ends. A low cat-like roar even came out of its mouth every now and then. No matter how one looked at it, it looked very cute.


    And yet, under this sort of tragic circumstance, the little white tiger''s roar seemed to be so helpless and pitiful.


    Ye Yuan''s heart shuddered for no reason as if he saw the former him.


    "Ye Yuan, let''s save that white tiger? Look at that little white tiger. It''s really so pitiful." At this time, Nanfeng Zhirou''s words sounded out by Ye Yuan''s ears.


    Ye Yuan turned to look but saw that Nanfeng Zhirou''s face was already covered in tears. Clearly, she was deeply touched by that white tiger''s profound parental love.


    Under this sort of situation, it was obvious that waiting for the white tiger and the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python to fight until both were heavily injured would be the best, but Ye Yuan really could not do it.


    Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just nodded slowly and took out the Canghua Sword, saying to Nanfeng Zhirou, "The weak point of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python is that seven-colored flower. This is the high ground; an excellent place for ambushing. I''ll go down and lure it over here, you find an opportunity to kill it in one blow!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou nodded with all her might. The current her was also filled with a powerful resentment towards that python.


    At the moment, the black python and white tiger was intoxicated with the intense battle. The white tiger suffered setbacks repeatedly, but it refused to back even one step.


    The white tiger was already an arrow at the end of its flight. It only relied on a single obsession to forcefully hold on and not collapse.


    That black python locked onto an opening and shot forward abruptly, directly targeting the white tiger''s lower jaw.


    The white tiger''s actions already could not keep up with the black python at all any longer. If this bite landed, the white tiger will die without any doubt!


    Right at this time, a white light sneak attacked the black python''s face with lightning speed.


    This happened too suddenly, the black python was unable to react to it at all. The white light directly struck its eye.


    Phhssstt!


    The black python''s eyes instantly became a bloody mess.


    An awful shrill cried out. The black python rolled on the ground in pain. The enormous body twisted non-stop and its tail swept around randomly filled with attack power.


    Even Ye Yuan did not dare to rush up rashly at this time. He just gave the dying white tiger a look.


    The white tiger gazed towards Ye Yuan with full of gratitude.


    The little white tiger saw that the black python suffered injuries and plucked up its courage to come over to its mother''s side. It used its tiny tongue to nurse its mother''s wounds while periodically giving off whining sounds, appearing to be in great sorrow.


    However, this scene did not continue for too long. The black python roused from its pain, and a grating howl indicated that it was currently in an enraged state.


    The black python used its remaining eye to stare fixedly at Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan just looked at it smilingly and even crooked his finger at it, seemingly very contemptuous.


    That Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python flew into an even greater rage seeing the situation. With a swoosh, it vanished.


    Ye Yuan was prepared long ago and naturally would not be successfully ambushed by it.


    Similarly, with an Instant Flash, Ye Yuan vanished on the spot. That black python struck thin air.


    "Big stupid snake, I''m over here!" Ye Yuan once again crooked his finger at the black python over at the other side.


    The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python seemed to understand Ye Yuan''s words. It rushed towards Ye Yuan once more recklessly.


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique was not much slower than the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. He evaded once again.


    Having repeated this twice, as long as Ye Yuan dodged one more time, the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python would enter the place where Nanfeng Zhirou was lying in ambush.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was also sharpening her blade as she stared fixedly at the seven colored flower at the black python''s vital point.


    Ye Yuan dodged and entered the ambush radius. Just as he taunted the black python once again and Nanfeng Zhirou was on the verge of striking, the black python actually hesitated!


    "Damn it. This black python is naturally cunning. It actually grew suspicious of my actions!" Ye Yuan''s cursed in his heart.


    The Canghua Sword shook, and a sword beam fired out again. Except, the black python that was prepared would not be struck so easily. It avoided it with a slide of its body.


    It was just that after the black python dodged, it still did not head over here.


    A bad premonition arose in Ye Yuan''s heart. Indeed, the black python suddenly turned around and actually charged towards the white tiger!


    "Damn it!" Ye Yuan silently cursed and chased over with his sword.


    Nanfeng Zhirou laid in ambush for so long, but that black python actually ran away. She could not help feeling very depressed.


    However, her lying in ambush did not hold much meaning anymore at this point. With a large stride out, she also chased after.


    This black python was abnormally cunning. Even though it gave away its back to Ye Yuan currently, it swayed around. There was simply no way of getting an accurate aim. Ye Yuan fired out multiple sword beams in a go and was evaded by it.


    In a blink, the black python was only several dozen meters away from the white tiger. This distance was merely an insignificant matter to it.


    The white tiger was already on the verge of death at the moment. After that fierce burst of strength just now passed, it could no longer muster up strength at this time.


    It was not the black python''s match from the start and was even bitten several times by the black python. Currently, it was not only covered in wounds, but it was also already deeply poisoned. How could it have the strength to resist?


    Seeing the black python pounce over, despair showed in the white tiger''s eyes. Its gaze turned towards the tiny white tiger by its side as its eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.


    The little white tiger did not appear to be as frightened as it originally was at the current moment. Instead, it was snarling, baring its teeth at the black python and waving its claws about. It was sufficiently imposing, but sadly, it was too weak and tiny.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly anxious when she saw the situation. A series of sword beams shot over. It was just that her sword beams were much weaker compared to Ye Yuan''s. Even if there were occasionally a few which landed on the black python''s body, it neither hurt nor itched.


    Ye Yuan knew that it was too late. He immediately gritted his teeth. "There''s only this move! Little white tiger, if I slip up, don''t blame me!"


    In a thought, Ye Yuan lightly tossed the Canghua Sword up into the air and then put his both hands together to form a sword, pointing it towards the Canghua Sword.


    A strand of soul strength wrapped around essence energy escaped from the fingertip and directly penetrated the Canghua Sword!


    Just like that, the Canghua Sword actually suspended in midair!


    "Sword Driving Technique! Go!"


    Ye Yuan pointed with one hand; the Canghua Sword turned into a streak of flowing light as it swooshed out, directly piercing the black python!


    The black python seemed to have sensed something, the speed of it pouncing towards the little white tiger became slower. But its body''s swaying became even more pronounced and even more difficult to pinpoint!


    Canghua Sword''s speed was even faster than the sword beams released by Ye Yuan earlier. Even so, this sword still missed.


    The black python gave off that horrible grating howl once again as if it was expressing a victory declaration.


    Ye Yuan''s face darkened, but his fingertip still pulled backward again. The Canghua Sword rapidly drew a lone line across the air and turned into a streak of flowing light, shooting towards the black python once more.


    This time around, because the Canghua Sword was too near to the black python, the black python did not expect this sword could actually return after going off. Being caught off guard, it was pierced through by Ye Yuan!


    "Sss, sss . . ."


    The black python started rolling on the ground in agony once more, but it did not die straight away.


    This sword did not stab its vital areas!


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, quickly go and follow up with a strike!" Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and shouted.


    With a cling , the Canghua Sword dropped on the ground. Ye Yuan was also sitting slumped on the ground, his entire person completely exhausted.


    Only now did Nanfeng Zhirou recover from her surprise and hurriedly swung her sword to follow up with a blade.


    However, before Nanfeng Zhirou even approached, the black python''s tail swept by, nearly hitting her.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was very anxious. She did not expect that this black python''s vitality was actually so tenacious. She was actually unable to approach momentarily.


    Just then, a streak of white light flashed across . . .

 Chapter 159: Natural Born Sovereign

    Chapter 159: Natural Born Sovereign


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both stared wide-eyed as they watched this scene in disbelief.


    The little white tiger scurried to the black python''s vital spot like lightning, rushing at that seven-colored flower, and biting down on it!


    "Sssss. . . Sssss. . ."


    The black python itself also did not think that this little white tiger would actually take advantage of his misfortune to profit from it. Furthermore, it could have bitten any other place, yet, it just had to bite down on its vital spot!


    This was lethal!


    The black python shook its body repeatedly, trying to shake off that little white tiger.


    However, the little white tiger''s teeth locked down on that seven-colored flower securely and refused to let go. No matter how much the black python rocked, it just did not loosen up!


    Initially, the black python had its vital spot bitten, it already could not unleash a tenth of its full strength. With the addition of the injuries from battling the white tiger along with the wounds Ye Yuan inflicted, it would no longer move anymore after some time. It was just that it still twitched every now and then.


    A Tier 2 middle-stage demonic beast was actually bitten to death by a little white tiger just like that!


    Even though the black python was already unmoving, the little white tiger still refused to release its bite as it chomped down firmly without letting go.


    Ye Yuan picked up the Canghua Sword, walked over to the black python''s side, and petted the little white tiger''s small head. The tiny white tiger seemed to have understood and only let go then.


    Ye Yuan was also afraid that the little white tiger did not bite viciously enough and supplemented another stab on the seven-colored flower, thoroughly ending the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s life.


    After the little white tiger released its bite, it no longer bothered with the black python, but instead, returned to its mother''s side and used its tiny tongue to lick her wounds.


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou turned to look at each other and also did not know what to say.


    The two of them expended such an enormous effort, but the result was that it was this little fellow who gave the killing blow.


    But the speed which the little fellow displayed just now also made them have a completely new appraisal of it. Once this little fellow matures, it would be an absolutely terrifying character!


    Nanfeng Zhirou glanced at the white tiger lying on the ground and looked at Ye Yuan again.


    Ye Yuan understood her meaning, but he shook his head and said, "She is too gravely injured. Moreover, she''s also poisoned by that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. There''s already nothing I can do."


    Nanfeng Zhirou said without any sign of giving up, "Didn''t you bring a lot of medicinal pills? There should be detoxification pills and healing pills, right?"


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "It''s useless. Demonic beasts'' physique is different from humans. They must use corresponding medicinal pills. The medicinal pills I brought along is no use to her."


    The medicinal pills used by demonic beasts formed a system of its own. They were different than the medicinal pills used by humans.


    Also, only Ye Yuan this sort of Alchemy Dao great master could achieve such brilliant accomplishments in both systems at the same time.


    However, even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice. Presently, there was no pill refinement room here. Without ingredients, no matter how amazing Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible for him to pull medicinal pills out from nothing.


    Ye Yuan saying this was the equivalent of sentencing the white tiger to death. Nanfeng Zhirou could not bear it. Seeing the whimpering little white tiger, her tears started overflowing uncontrollably once again.


    Ye Yuan also found it hard to endure.


    He was not a person overflowing with compassion. It was just that the scene just now was overly similar to his experience in his past life.


    Although the white tiger was just a demonic beast, he still felt as if he experienced it himself.


    The white tiger''s eyes which were originally already shut gradually opened at this time. It also seemed to have recovered a bit of consciousness.


    Seeing its mother open her eyes, the little white tiger involuntarily started jumping about in front of her in joy.


    The white tiger''s gaze was full of loving kindness; completely unlike a fearsome demonic beast.


    Except, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both knew that this was the white tiger''s final radiance before death. Most likely, it was already done for.


    The white tiger looked at the little white tiger with tender love, but its gaze shifted to Ye Yuan as it revealed an imploring intention.


    After that, she used all the strength in her body to use her head to push the little white tiger to Ye Yuan''s feet.


    This white tiger was actually entrusting her child to him!


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan did not wish to become a nanny. He still had many things he needed to do and had no time to waste in this area.


    Even though he pitied this mother and son pair very much, he still felt that it was rather troublesome to ask him to raise this little white tiger.


    The white tiger clearly saw through Ye Yuan''s reluctance and could not help but give a low roar; akin to a final lamenting whine. The intent of begging was already very clear.


    Nanfeng Zhirou could not help flying into a rage when she saw Ye Yuan hesitating. "Ye Yuan, do you still have any sympathy? The little white tiger is already so pitiful. It lost its mother when it''s so small. Leaving him here unchecked will cause him to be killed by other demonic beasts! If you aren''t taking him in, I''ll shelter him! Come, little white tiger!"


    But the little white tiger did not approach Nanfeng Zhirou but jumped back. It was evident that it was unwilling to leave its mother.


    The white tiger gave another roar, and her gaze became stern. The little white tiger looked like a child who did something wrong as it lowered its head, but it still headed over to Ye Yuan''s feet.


    When Nanfeng Zhirou saw this, her temper rose again.


    "Hey, little fellow, is your brain even working? He doesn''t even want you, why did you run over to him for? Quickly come over to my side!"


    As she spoke, Nanfeng Zhirou reached out to hug the little white tiger, but the little white tiger squeezed in between Ye Yuan''s legs and just refused to let Nanfeng Zhirou hold it.


    Like this, Nanfeng Zhirou became even more livid. She was originally someone with a fiery temper, but her goodwill was taken for ill intentions. It would be weirder if she did not get angry!


    "Run some more! Keep running! Do you believe whether or not I''ll yank your ears!" Nanfeng Zhirou had her hands on her hips as she said with an enraged face.


    But the reply was a cat-like roar.


    This one human and one tiger actually started to play catching around Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was driven to a point where he was at a loss whether or cry or to laugh by Nanfeng Zhirou. It turns out that this woman did not differentiate between demons or humans when she lost her temper!


    "Alright, alright. Stop circling. Keep going in circles, and I''m going to get dizzy! I''ll keep the little white tiger, alright?" Ye Yuan said impatiently.


    Ye Yuan pulled Nanfeng Zhirou off and lowered his body to speak to the white tiger. "Don''t you worry, since I promised you, I''ll take good care of him. Following me, his power in the future will definitely be above yours. You can go in peace."


    Not that Ye Yuan was callous, but it was because this white tiger was already done for long ago. The reason why it still did not pass away was because Ye Yuan had yet to promise it.


    There was plainly a language barrier, but the white tiger seemed to have understood what Ye Yuan said. It gave off another low roar as if it was thanking Ye Yuan, and then gradually, it fell silent.


    The little white tiger also seemed to have sensed something. It whined mournfully as it came to its mother''s side, wanting to prop up its mother using its small head. But the white tiger did not react in the slightest.


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s tears poured out once again when she saw the situation. The awe of a tiger presently earlier was all gone.


    Such an emotional woman!


    Ye Yuan sighed and directly sat down on the spot, swallowing a medicinal pill to begin recovering.


    The sword driving technique was also a divine soul secret art with extremely powerful might. It was just that it was still somewhat forceful for the current Ye Yuan. Just using it for a round trip just now already severely overdrew his essence energy and soul strength.


    After adjusting his condition for some time and waking up, Ye Yuan discovered that the little white tiger was currently circling around him.


    Seeing Ye Yuan look over, the little white tiger wagged its tail and tunneled into Ye Yuan''s bosom.


    "I''m perplexed. You don''t even want him, so why does this little white tiger stick to you so?" Nanfeng Zhirou said very defiantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is charisma! I was born with the demeanor of a sovereign and can attract countless others to follow me. Yii . . . This little white tiger . . . is not normal!"


    Just as Ye Yuan was blowing his own trumpet, his expression changed.

 Chapter 160: Divine Beast Progeny!

    Chapter 160: Divine Beast Progeny!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What is it? Is there something wrong with the little white tiger?" Nanfeng Zhirou''s heart plummeted as she quickly asked.


    Ye Yuan did not reply her and just turned the little white tiger all over to inspect several times and also used divine sense to investigate. His expression became increasingly solemn.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was an anxious person. Seeing Ye Yuan mess around for so long and refusing to say anything, and his expression becoming uglier, she could not help asking anxiously, "Just what is going on? Talk! Seriously, you''ll be the death of me! He won''t die, right?"


    Only now did Ye Yuan look at Nanfeng Zhirou as if he was staring at a retard. "What? Die? He couldn''t be better!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou finally let out a sigh of relief but immediately said huffily, "If he''s fine, then what are you pulling that long face for? Deliberately scaring me? Why can''t you finish saying everything in one go? Just what happened to him?"


    "It can be counted as we picked up a treasure. This little thing has a huge background!" Ye Yuan kept away his serious expression and seemed rather excited as he said.


    "Huge background? Isn''t it just a little white tiger? What background can it have? If it has backing, then why would it be forced to such an extent by a big black python?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in suspicion.


    She looked left and right and could not see just which aspect of this little white tiger was extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "How many times have I told you. Knowledge is power! Why don''t you have any progress at all up till now? Without knowledge, even if you entered a treasure mountain, you''ll also return empty-handed!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou glared. "Are you telling or not? Why do you have so much nonsense?"


    "Forget it. I already told you to educate yourself! It''s true. That white tiger is just an ordinary white tiger, but this little white tiger is very different! Have you ever heard of the Four Phases Divine Beasts?"


    "Of course I heard of that before. The eastern Azure Dragon, the western White . . ." Nanfeng Zhirou was in the midst of talking when she suddenly thought of something and said in astonishment, "This . . . You . . . You aren''t about to tell me that this little white tiger is the White Tiger Divine Beast?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was stunned by Ye Yuan that even her words became stammers.


    What kind of concept were Divine Beasts? They were the absolute sovereigns of this world!


    Possessing the name of a Divine Beast, it was an existence that would surely step into the Deity Realm in the future as long as it did not die!


    Ye Yuan casually picked up a little white tiger, and it was the Sovereign of the West, the White Tiger Divine Beast?


    Are you kidding?


    But Ye Yuan gave a laugh and said, "Of course he isn''t a divine beast. However . . . he truly has the bloodline of the White Tiger Divine Beast! It''s just that his bloodline is too thin. Wanting to become a divine beast . . . too difficult, way too difficult."


    Ye Yuan naturally did not find it nice to say some things. In the Divine Realm, there were numerous demonic beasts that possessed divine beast bloodline. It was just that true pureblooded divine beast bloodline could no longer be found today.


    Because in this stretch of heaven and earth, there was no longer the existence of Deity Realm. Naturally, there was also no existence of divine beasts!


    Possessing a faint divine beast bloodline, future accomplishments would definitely be extraordinary.


    As long as the strength of the bloodline is sufficient, stepping into the Demon Emperor realm was virtually guaranteed!


    Demon Emperor realm was equivalent to the human Divine King realm.


    Also, the majority of divine beast progenies possessed innate divine abilities. Once they stepped into the Demon Emperor realm, their power would become incredible.


    In terms of the Divine Realm''s pinnacle battle strength, there was actually not much difference between humans and the demon race.


    "But, if he truly possessed divine beast bloodline, even if he doesn''t become a divine beast, he should also be very amazing in the future, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked.


    "Exactly! This little thing also has a name which belongs to itself, the Flowing Light White Tiger! A branch of the White Tiger Divine Beast''s progenies! I truly did not expect that an ordinary white tiger could actually give birth to a Flowing Light White Tiger. Looks like this little fellow''s ancestral origin is not simple!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.


    "A Flowing Light White Tiger? No wonder when he wanted to kill this black python earlier, his speed was so fast. Really akin to a bundle of flowing light."


    "En, the Flowing Light White Tiger is renowned for its speed. A mature Flowing Light White Tiger at the bare minimum has the strength of Tier 5, Taking Form! At that point, his speed can compare with flying profound artifacts!" Ye Yuan explained.


    "So incredible? Then didn''t we acquire a treasure?" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise.


    Above spirit artifacts were profound artifacts. The speed of flying profound artifacts was quick to the point it was inconceivable. The speed of Flowing Light White Tigers could compare to flying profound artifacts. One could see the extent of their speed!


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "You''re thinking too much. A Flowing Light White Tiger, from newborn to maturity, need at least a thousand years. After he grows up, I''d have long reached the Divine King realm!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou curled her mouth and said with disdain, "Keep bragging! Divine King realm even! I''ve never even heard of what Divine King realm. Utter bullshit!"


    Not that Nanfeng Zhirou was ignorant, but because this place, the State of Qin, was too small.


    Starting point determines one''s horizons. How could the people of the Boundless World know how the realms in the Divine Realm were divided?


    If they could rise to a certain realm, their horizons would naturally broaden.


    Towards Nanfeng Zhirou''s disdain, Ye Yuan just smiled but did not explain. He and Nanfeng Zhirou were simply not on the same level. There was naturally no way of communicating.


    "But with me around, his realm might catch up to. Maybe even surpass Yuan Fei''s within ten years!" Nanfeng Zhirou said with a smile.


    "So fast? You aren''t bragging again, are you?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in disbelief.


    "When have you ever seen me brag? This little fellow''s foundation is much better than Yuan Fei''s. As long as I use medicinal pills to supplement, his future accomplishments definitely won''t be low. Furthermore, this small fellow has already awoken its bloodline just now. Its future cultivation speed would be very rapid!" Ye Yuan explained.


    About this point, Nanfeng Zhirou did not doubt Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s attainments in the Alchemy Dao had already completely exceeded her understanding. He would frequently pull out medicinal pills that she had never even heard of.


    Also, he dared to promise Yuan Fei to let him breakthrough to Tier 4. It was likely not spoken carelessly.


    Then would it not be a very effortless thing for him to help a little white tiger?


    "Fine, I know that you''re amazing! The little white tiger is so adorable. How about we give him a name? Look how white and fluffy he is; why not call him Whitey?" Nanfeng Zhirou directly decided it.


    "Roar!"


    The little white tiger roared in a low cat-like tone to show its protest. Clearly, it disliked this name.


    Nanfeng Zhirou fumed and said, "Humph! Even if you don''t like it, you''ll have to accept it! It''s Whitey!"


    "Hmm, when he runs, it looks like a beam of white light. I say . . . call him White Light, how''s that?" Ye Yuan was asking the little white tiger.


    The little white tiger arched in Ye Yuan''s bosom. It was clear that it tacitly approved of this name.


    "Haha, then in future, you''re called White Light!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Humph! You ungrateful tiger! Just now, who was the one fighting hard before managing to keep you? This fellow was prepared to abandon you. He isn''t a good person!" Nanfeng Zhirou said crossly.


    "Roar!"


    What replied her was White Light''s angry roar.


    "Alright, don''t delay any more time here. We still have to search around this Blackwater Ravine. Perhaps there''s good stuff! This Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python definitely discovered something to hang on here and not leave," Ye Yuan said as he interrupted Nanfeng Zhirou''s provocation.


    The pair found a place to bury the white tiger and also retrieved the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s inner core, then brought White Light into the depths of the Blackwater Ravine.

 Chapter 161: Blood Bodhi!

    Chapter 161: Blood Bodhi!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The two humans and one tiger walked towards the deep parts of the Blackwater Ravine. Roughly after 15 minutes, an enormous cliff in front cut off their path.


    "Yii, no path? There isn''t even anything good on the way here!" Nanfeng Zhirou said dispiritedly.


    Ye Yuan also halted his footsteps. Surveying the surroundings, he also failed to discover anything useful.


    This whole road here, he had been paying attention to the surroundings. If there were any natural treasures, it absolutely could not escape his eyes.


    But up until now, he also did not have any discovery.


    "Could it be that the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python truly just took a liking to this place and wanted to have it to itself? That doesn''t make sense! With that big black python''s strength, it could totally go into the deeper areas to occupy even better territories. Why did it choose here?" Ye Yuan also remained puzzled after pondering over it.


    "Hahaha . . . Didn''t you boast that you''re all-knowing? To think that you also have times where you stumble! What knowledge is power, now, knowledge has become a popped bubble, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou ridiculed relentlessly.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s repeated verbal attacks on her being brainless, Nanfeng Zhirou held a deep grudge against it.


    Women bore grudges the most. Beautiful women harbored resentment even more!


    It was just that every time, Ye Yuan''s prediction was all very accurate. Nanfeng Zhirou kept being unable to get a hold of something, so she had no way of retorting.


    This time, it was not easy for her to see Ye Yuan shrivel. Nanfeng Zhirou naturally chose to hit a person who is down!


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth twitched. He had the sort of feeling like he dug a hole for himself to jump into.


    However, he kept feeling that his judgment was not wrong. The problem was, where was the natural treasure?


    "Ye Yuan, please, next time, don''t you . . . yii, White Light, where are you going?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was currently reproving Ye Yuan, but White Light turned into a beam of white light and ran towards the cliff.


    Ye Yuan''s eye involuntarily lit up when he saw the situation. Could it be that this little fellow knew where the stuff was?


    White Light came to the cliff and directly ran upwards, stepping onto a piece of rock, and then left jump, right leap as he scaled up like it was flat ground.


    At an extremely high place, White Light''s figure flashed, and suddenly vanished!


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou looked closely and saw that there was actually a little cave there. White Light entered the cave!


    "Could there really be something good?" Nanfeng Zhirou muttered to herself.


    At this time, she clearly also guessed what White Light went over to do and could not resist quietly cursing, hoping that White Light just went to play. It would be best if it did not find anything.


    Even though White Light did not come out yet, not knowing why, Nanfeng Zhirou felt that her face was somewhat burning hot.


    "So, it''s hidden in such an obscure place. No wonder I couldn''t find it even after searching for so long. I didn''t think that White Light actually had this sort of ability!" Ye Yuan was also very surprised by White Light''s abilities.


    Thinking about it, Ye Yuan was also relieved. Most likely, it was fruits or something similar, so White Light smelled it.


    Before long, White Light''s figure appeared at the entrance once again. Except that this time, his mouth held a tiny object.


    White Light clamped down on that tiny object as it ran down the cliff, arriving at Ye Yuan''s side.


    White Light''s mouth held a flower stem. A tiny fruit grew on it. It passed this thing over to Ye Yuan and even wagged its tail in a bid to garner likes, looking rather cute.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he petted White Light''s little head to show encouragement. He picked up that tiny fruit rather excitedly because he had already recognized this tiny fruit.


    "It''s actually Blood Bodhi! No wonder that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python is attached to this place. Turns out that it''s for this!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou was rather embarrassed. But she was unable to resist her curiosity and secretly sized up that tiny thing.


    That was a tiny blood-red fruit which did not appear to be very eye-catching. If it were her, most likely when she saw it, she would have treated it like she didn''t see it and directly pass it over.


    Ye Yuan could not help finding it funny when he saw Nanfeng Zhirou wanting to speak but stopping and her furtive appearance.


    Aware that girls are thin-skinned, Ye Yuan also did not agitate her anymore, but explained. "This Blood Bodhi is good stuff! This is a Tier 3 medicinal herb, and it''s also exceedingly rare! If that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python swallowed this item, it would most likely directly breakthrough to late-stage Tier 2 demonic beast."


    Nanfeng Zhirou saw that Ye Yuan did not have any intention to reverse checkmating her and could not help quietly letting out a sigh of relief. But her mouth still remained stubborn as she said, "I also didn''t make you explain!"


    "Fine, fine. It''s me who likes to show off and just have to explain for you to listen, alright?"


    Only then, was Nanfeng Zhirou pleased. But she immediately could not hold back her curiosity, so she asked, "Since this Blood Bodhi is so incredible, why did it not eat this for so long?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Also counts as that fellow being unlucky I guess. If what I predict is right, this Blood Bodhi was not yet ripe before. It maturing was also a matter of these two days. He had yet to eat it when he encountered the white tiger and us, which let us pick up a ready-made freebie. But it would be a reckless waste of God''s gift to let it eat this thing like that. Using this to refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill, the Bodhi Pill, it can let Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise a minor realm unconditionally! Furthermore, there''s completely no side-effects!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou could not help opening her mouth wide after listening to it all. Unconditionally letting Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise by a minor realm, just what kind of concept was this?


    For Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, forget about breakthrough a minor realm, even if there were a tiny bit of advancement, it would require the accumulation of time!


    Among the State of Qin''s Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, apart from the Lord Dean and the Alchemist Association''s Lord Wu Daofeng who were at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm, the rest were all at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s father, Nanfeng Yi, who was also the ruler of the State of Qin, had already broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm for over twenty years. However, he still remained at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    It was clear just how challenging a matter it was for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to want to advance a step forward!


    There were two high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters in the State of Qin, but they were unable to refine medicinal pills which could allow Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to directly breakthrough a minor realm. Yet, Ye Yuan could!


    If Ye Yuan displayed this medicinal pill in front of these people, there would only be two outcomes.


    The first was that they kill Ye Yuan, then fight to the bitter end for this single medicinal pill. There was another, which was to follow behind Ye Yuan and hope to obtain his favor so that he would bestow that medicinal pill to him.


    Even the two high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters would be unable to remain unperturbed when they see the Bodhi Pill, right?


    In reality, when Ye Yuan said he could help Yuan Fei breakthrough to Tier 4, Nanfeng Zhirou still did not have much of a concept, because that was too far away from her.


    But to help Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise a minor realm, the shock this brought her was tremendous.


    Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with eager eyes; an appearance like she was holding back the words at the tip of her tongue.


    Ye Yuan laughed out loud and knew what she was thinking of right away. He said, "Relax, this Blood Bodhi can refine at least ten Bodhi Pills. When the time comes, I''ll save one for your father!"


    Ye Yuan finished speaking. Nanfeng Zhirou''s face reddened, but she still said gratefully, "Thank you!"


    Ye Yuan said deridingly, "You''ve never thanked me regarding your own matter, but you thank me for your Imperial Father''s matter. It really makes me feel overwhelmingly flattered! However, you also know that I just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Wanting to refine the Bodhi Pill, most likely, I still need a few days."


    Nanfeng Zhirou did not lose her temper this time around. Instead, she hurriedly shook her head, "No rush. There''s no hurry."

 Chapter 162: Medicinal Pill Dealer

    Chapter 162: Medicinal Pill Dealer


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Lotus Moon Gorge.


    An immensely vast gorge, which took up a huge area, was located over a thousand miles from the Endless Forest.


    The thousand mile radius was the limits for Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. The danger would increase significantly when heading further north.


    The thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest was mostly the territories of Tier 2 demonic beasts. Only in extremely few places would there be Tier 3 demonic beasts, such as the Crimson Summit Ridge.


    Rather, beyond the thousand mile radius, the number of Tier 3 demonic beasts would have a substantial increase.


    Under normal circumstances, Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were absolutely unwilling to cross this thousand mile marker.


    Normally, the Lotus Moon Gorge was a land where few traversed.


    But these few days, there were more and more human martial artists gathering at the Lotus Moon Gorge. Their strength also became increasingly more powerful.


    From the weak First Level and Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists to the Eighth Level and Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, they were numerous of them here. Among them, there were even some human martial artists who were the same as Su Yubai being at the half-step Crystal Formation Realm!


    Then in the depths of the gorge, unusual undulations were faintly reverberating out. Everyone knew that there were extremely rare natural treasures about to be born.


    On the other side of the gorge, large numbers of Tier 2 demonic beasts similarly gathered, facing the human camp across the distance.


    Both sides maintained relative restraint and did not come to blows.


    In reality, when the Lotus Moon Gorge demonic beast outbreak started, humans and demonic beasts both had frictions which were not small.


    But following the increase in the number of human martial artists and demonic beasts and along with the increase in cultivation realm, both sides fell into a stalemate.


    Because even more powerful experts appeared on both sides, so the restraint became even stronger.


    Crystal Formation Realm martial artists appeared among the human martial artists, while Tier 3 demonic beasts also appeared among the demonic beasts.


    Even though Tier 3 demonic beasts were unable to communicate with humans, their intelligence was no longer low. Naturally, they did not wish to suffer too great a loss of power before the treasure was born.


    The human martial artists also felt the same.


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou were currently hanging around those low level human martial artists.


    Presently, Ye Yuan''s and Nanfeng Zhirou''s attire had already been changed into ordinary demonic beast hunter outfit. Even Nanfeng Zhirou''s face was now different. Otherwise, with her appearance, it was very easy to stir up unnecessary trouble.


    There were too many experts in this place. Drawing people''s attention was clearly not a wise move.


    As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan initially planned to let Nanfeng Zhirou head back first, and he would come here alone. But when he mentioned letting Nanfeng Zhirou go back first, Nanfeng Zhirou flew into a rage and wielded her sword to fight with Ye Yuan.


    The result naturally concluded with Ye Yuan losing, so he had no choice but to bring her along.


    But, Ye Yuan raised a demand which was that no matter what situation it was, she had to obey him.


    This was Ye Yuan''s bottom-line!


    Lotus Moon Gorge could not be compared to previously. The pair''s strength was too weak; they could only fish in muddied waters. If they did not lay low, they would only be eaten by others until not even bones were left.


    At that time, even if there was Yuan Fei around, they might not obtain any advantage.


    Currently, on the human side of the gorge, they basically existed in small groups of threes and fives.


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou formed a small team. Among these groups, they should belong to the lowest level of existences, so they obviously would not draw people''s attention.


    "Ye Yuan, did you manage to inquire any information when you went out just now?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked through transmission.


    "En, I heard some things. But the majority of them were rumors. However, what''s basically confirmed now is that what''s going to be born should be a fire-attribute treasure! According to the undulations coming from the depths of the gorge, it would be a matter of these two days," Ye Yuan replied.


    "But there are so many people, and they are so powerful. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists also appeared. Do we have any chance?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou originally did not think that there were actually so many people gathered here. She thought that it was only an ordinary treasure.


    Who knew that after arriving, they would see so many Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, which instantly put a damper on their mood.


    So many experts; how could it come to their turn?


    She admits that Ye Yuan was very amazing, but his cultivation realm was too low after all. Dealing with one or two people was not yet an issue, but with so many people, how should they make a move?


    Furthermore, the current distribution of terrain was completely divided based on strength.


    Those half-step Crystal Formation Realm, Ninth Level, Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were basically in the innermost area. Once the treasure was born, they would definitely be the foremost to charge inside. How could they, these outer-ring martial artists, get their turn?


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Natural treasures are obtained by those who are fated for it. Doesn''t mean that their strength is high and they would definitely obtain it. With me, Ye Yuan around, why do they even bother?"


    "Tch, keep bragging! How do you know that you''re the fated person?" Nanfeng Zhirou had a scornful face.


    "I said before, a naturally born sovereign, who else but myself?" Ye Yuan boasted without shame.


    "Enough crap; be serious! What on earth should we do?" Nanfeng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated.


    "What else can we do? Conserve strength and build up energy, then wait and see! The moment the treasure is born, there would definitely be a violent clash between the human martial artists and demonic beasts. At that time, you just have to stay out of trouble, and that will do. Let me handle the rest," Ye Yuan said.


    ". . . . . ."


    Nanfeng Zhirou felt that she became a burden in a flash.


    Aunty clearly made her come and protect him. But up till now, why did Nanfeng Zhirou feel that it was always Ye Yuan protecting her?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan''s current strength was already not beneath her. He did not even require her protection anymore.


    This world changed too quickly . . .


    Just as Nanfeng Zhirou was cursing inwardly, a hubbub of voices was heard.


    "Excellent medicinal pills! Top quality medicinal pills! Drunken Star Manor''s products are definitely the cream of the crop! Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill, Tier 2 Heart Protecting Pill, Tier 2 healing medicine, Tier 2 Detoxification Pill. All sorts of medicinal pills are available!" a martial artists wearing gray shouted at the top of his voice.


    This shout immediately drew the attention of many martial artists.


    The majority of these martial artists were demonic beast hunters who had already been roaming within the Endless Forest for a very long time. All the necessary medicines on their bodies were pretty much all gone.


    For a medicinal pill merchant to suddenly appear at this time, it naturally stirred up quite a commotion.


    When Ye Yuan heard that someone was selling medicinal pills, he also could not help but look over. Many people were already surrounding him.


    At this time, perhaps a medicinal pill could save lives.


    However, Ye Yuan''s nose lightly moved and already sniffed out that those medicinal pills were fake goods. While the outer appearance was virtually the same as some medicinal pills from the Drunken Star Manor, the medicinal effects were most likely not even 50% of them.


    Ye Yuan just gave a faint smile and no longer bothered with the things happening over there. What he needed now was to remain low-key, not to be in the limelight.


    Nanfeng Zhirou seemed to have seen that something was wrong and could not resist asking, "What are you smiling for? Does that person have a problem?"


    "There''s no issue with the person, the problem lies with the medicinal pills. But eating them won''t kill people anyway, so let him be," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    "No way! How did you see it?" Nanfeng Zhirou was at the very least an alchemist, but she could not see any issue at all.


    "The medicinal pill''s ingredients don''t have any problem. It''s just that when refining, Mist Yuan Water was added in. The portion originally capable of refining one medicinal pill was refined into four/five pills by him. The medicinal effects would naturally be much worse," Ye Yuan explained.


    "You saw that at a glance?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in shock.

 Chapter 163: Not Buying!

    Chapter 163: Not Buying!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Not saw it, but smelled it," Ye Yuan pointed to his nose and said.


    "But the Mist Yuan Water is odorless. How did you smell it?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in amazement.


    "The Mist Yuan Water is odorless, but when mixed into medicinal pills, it would give off a faint sort of special fragrance," Ye Yuan said.


    "But you''re so far away from there! Do you have a dog''s nose?" Nanfeng Zhirou was flabbergasted.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and was similarly speechless. Couldn''t you make a better comparison?


    "This is an ability that has been repeatedly tempered out. Heh heh," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan''s sensitivity towards medicinal pills was etched deeply into the divine soul after repeated tempering.


    Virtually every type of medicinal herb; he was able to sensitively detect it.


    Rather than say it was the smell, it should be that it was his divine soul''s instinctive reaction.


    After the incident last time, Nanfeng Zhirou no longer doubted Ye Yuan.


    This fellow, as long as it was something which involved medicinal pills or herbal ingredients, his predictions and judgment were virtually 100% accurate. He had never made any errors!


    He said that these medicinal pills had problems, so these medicinal pills must have issues!


    Nonetheless, Nanfeng Zhirou followed Ye Yuan and was not worried that the medicinal pills had problems. Who knew how many medicinal pills this fellow refined for this trip; it was like they were never-ending.


    Nanfeng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan clearly only prepared for a day. Where did so many medicinal pills come from?


    Nanfeng Zhirou felt that she was becoming more and more interested in Ye Yuan.


    The more she could not understand Ye Yuan, the more she wanted to understand him. What sort of feeling was this . . .?


    Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou were chatting over here, but that medicinal pill merchant''s business was abnormally good. He had his hands full.


    "This Brother, aren''t you going to buy some pills? In a crisis, these medicinal pills can save lives! My medicinal pills are all Drunken Star Manor products. The medicinal effects are definitely exceptional!"


    After that medicinal pill merchant busied himself for some time, he started to promote his medicinal pills to a cold-faced demonic beast hunter.


    Ye Yuan had long noticed that demonic beast hunter. When others were swarming to buy medicinal pills, he never moved. Not only did he not move, none of the four people in his small group moved.


    "Not buying!" the cold-faced man just lightly said these two words.


    "Brother, these medicinal pills of mine are top-quality medicinal pills! You''re also aware of the Drunken Star Manor''s pills. They are matchless in the State of Qin . . ." the medicinal pill seller kept on praising the good points of the Drunken Star Manor''s medicinal pills repeatedly.


    Hearing that medicinal pill seller praising the Drunken Star Manor so fervently, Ye Yuan also felt somewhat displeased.


    However, he also understood that he was doing business. Bragging a little was a necessity. But now was not the time to get angry, so he held it back.


    After that demonic beast hunter calmly listened to that medicinal pill seller''s touting, he said two more words lightly, "Not buying!"


    "I say, Brother, why?" The medicinal pill seller was somewhat dispirited.


    That demonic beast hunter gave him a look and said, "I only buy Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s medicinal pills and nothing else!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he promptly felt more soothed. There were still clear-minded people in this world!


    Once he said this, the medicinal pill seller became unhappy. "Brother, not that I''m reproaching you, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is close to shutting down. What are you clinging onto that tree for? From the way I see it, before one month, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will definitely shut down. Could it be that you, Brother, aren''t going to eat medicinal pills in the future?"


    The icy-faced man gave the medicinal pill seller a cold glance and said, "The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion definitely won''t shut down! Pavilion Lord Ye is currently in closed-seclusion. After he exits seclusion, he''ll definitely have means to turn the tide! Humph!"


    "Dream on! Who doesn''t know that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion already doesn''t have the strength to save the situation? How many days has it been? The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion remained silent this whole time, while the Drunken Star Manor already relied on the Essence Gathering Pill to completely dominate the State of Qin''s medicinal pill market. In future, it will be the Drunken Star Manor having a monopoly! Furthermore, Manor Lord Wan has always been suppressing Ye Hang in terms of cultivation realm. What is the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion relying on to turn around?"


    The cold-faced man gave a cold laugh. "So what? The Drunken Star Manor appears to be dignified and honorable, but everyone is clear in their hearts how many filthy things they did secretly! Pavilion Lord Ye has a benevolent heart and mind. He treats us demonic beast hunters like brothers! I believe that Heaven has eyes. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will surely tide over this crisis!"


    After the man said all this, regretful expressions involuntarily showed up on the faces of those who originally bought the medicinal pills.


    Many of them had received the grave of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, but their support towards the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion at this time was inferior to this small team.


    "Humph! Truly thickheaded! Alright, don''t buy now. In the future, even if you beg to buy from me, I also won''t sell to you!" Finishing, the medicinal pill seller flicked his sleeves and left.


    The cold-faced man could not be bothered with him and sat back down.


    The medicinal pill seller was not too affected by it and continued to tout his medicinal pills. It was just that after that man caused such a commotion, his business immediately fell drastically.


    The cold-faced man stared at the back view of the medicinal pill seller and let out a cold snort.


    Right then, a voice from god knows where secretly transmitted directly into his ears.


    The cold-faced man heard that, and his expression instantly changed. After musing for some time, he suddenly stood up.


    "Everybody, don''t buy his medicinal pills! These medicinal pills are all fake! This fellow is a cheat!" the cold-faced man shouted loudly.


    Hearing the cold-faced man''s shout, all those who bought the medicinal pills tensed up. What followed was using unkind eyes to stare at the medicinal pill seller.


    The medicinal pill seller was also greatly alarmed. He was somewhat guilty, but in front of so many people, he had to remain strong.


    "Don''t slander me! It''s fine if you didn''t purchase, but you''re even ruining my business here. Do you really take me to be easy to bully? These medicinal pills have the unique marking of the Drunken Star Manor. They are absolutely genuine goods. You dare to besmirch the name of Drunken Star Manor?" the medicinal pill seller said furiously.


    The cold-faced man smiled coldly and said, "Snort! It''s true that these medicinal pills are from the Drunken Star Manor, but are the medicinal pills refined by the Drunken Star Manor truly without problems?"


    "What problem is there, say it! If you don''t give a proper justification, then this grudge of ours is set! After returning to the capital, I''ll pass these words to the Drunken Star Manor!" the medicinal pill seller threatened.


    These past one month, the Drunken Star Manor had become incomparably domineering.


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion gradually fell, and they virtually became a monopoly. The people who came out from the Drunken Star Manor basically all had their noses pointed to the skies.


    Since this medicinal pill seller was selling the Drunken Star Manor''s pills, he definitely had significant ties with the Drunken Star Manor.


    The cold-faced man remained unperturbed and said with a smile, "I''m afraid that the medicinal effects of these pills aren''t even half of the finished products! What intentions are you harboring to use these medicinal pills to hoodwink everyone?"


    When he said this, everyone''s faces changed again.


    While medicinal effects being insufficient is not a big issue, at the crucial time, it could kill.


    For example, a Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill; if the medicinal effects were lacking and could only recover a very small part of essence energy, wouldn''t that be waiting for death?


    Hearing the cold-faced man said this, the medicinal pill seller did not get nervous. Instead, he smiled gleefully and said, "You say that my medicinal pill''s effects are lacking, won''t we know after letting everyone try it?"

    Chapter 164: Try Testing a Few Moves

    Seeing the medicinal pill seller so full of confidence, the cold-faced man''s heart started to falter.


    Could it be that he really fell for someone else''s trap?


    That person said that he also received great kindness from Pavilion Lord Ye, which was why he wanted to expose this scammer. Could it be that he was simply screwing with him?


    While he was talking, the medicinal pill seller already walked in front of a martial artist he sold pills to earlier and sincerely invited him to test the medicinal pill. He even promised that as long as he was willing to test it, he would gift another five Tier 2 Qi Returning Pills!


    That martial artist was initially somewhat reluctant, but after thinking that at most it would be insufficient medicinal effects and should not have too big an effect on him, he nodded his head and agreed.


    The medicinal pill seller cupped his fists and said to everybody, "Everyone also saw that. This brother over here refused to buy my medicinal pills. That''s also fine. But now, he came out to defame my character. This one cannot turn a deaf ear to this. In order to prove my innocence, I invited this brother here to help test the medicinal pills. There shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    After the medicinal pill seller finished talking, there was someone who called out to the martial artist preparing to test. "Lin Feng, you aren''t bought over by that guy, right?"


    "Bought over your granny! I, Lin Feng, have worked among demonic beast hunters for so many years. Who isn''t aware of my character? If you don''t feel assured, then come and test yourself!" Lin Feng directly told him off.


    "Hahaha . . . We can trust you. Quickly test it and tell us how you feel after trying it!"


    "Don''t worry, with so many people watching, could I scam everyone?"


    Finishing, Lin Feng no longer dilly-dallied. He directly retrieved a Tier 2 Qi Returning Pill just bought from the medicinal pill seller and swallowed it.


    Having consumed the medicinal pill, Lin Feng meditated on the spot and started to refine the medicinal strength.


    Everybody was watching each and every one of Lin Feng''s actions, especially the cold-faced man and his small team. Even though their expression remained cool and collected, their heart started drumming long ago.


    The cold-faced man was currently somewhat regretting his impulsiveness earlier. But for the sake of Benefactor Ye Hang, even losing face once was also worth it!


    Back then, the cold-faced man was heavily injured and dying and also penniless. The Drunken Star Manor straightaway barred him outside the door, but Ye Hang treated him for free.


    This grace, even if he were smashed to pieces, it would be difficult to repay.


    Hence, he only hesitated slightly when he heard that mysterious transmission just now before standing up right away.


    Making a mistake would at most be losing face once. At the most, he won''t take part in this treasure seizing operation. But if it were really true, then it would be a heavy blow to Drunken Star Manor''s reputation, and also an opportunity for the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to come back from the dead!


    He was willing to gamble!


    "Ye Yuan, why does that cold-faced man also know that the medicinal pills are fake? Could his standards actually be around your level?" Nanfeng Zhirou could not help feeling astonished when she saw this situation as she transmitted her voice to ask.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I told him."


    "I knew that it was your doing! But why would he listen to you, a stranger?"


    "I was just testing him, didn''t think that he really stood up. Hum . . . I can let father take him in to be a retainer or something after going back. It''s also time for our Ye Family to nurture our own forces. And today, just take it as the first step to eradicating the Drunken Star Manor," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "You . . . You . . ." Nanfeng Zhirou heard Ye Yuan say all that, but her expression turned even uglier.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t you worry. My father and I have no interest in secular authority. Why we are doing this is just so that the Ye Family would have a relatively safe environment. If your Imperial Father can''t set his mind at ease, in future, I can make Father relocate from the State of Qin."


    "No no no, no need! I . . . I''ll do my best to prevent this sort of thing from happening."


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not say anything else.


    He knew that Nanfeng Yi was very fearful of the Su Family and Wan Family, which was why they secretly propped up his father, Ye Hang.


    But the Wan Family had to be extinguished. As for the Su Family . . . at least Su Yubai and Su Yulin, these two people, he did not plan on letting off.


    That was to say, the Ye Family would be a monopoly in the future. Would Nanfeng Yi still be at ease?


    Nanfeng Zhirou was ultimately still a little girl. Unless she broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, her words would forever lack any weight.


    While talking, Lin Feng already finished refining. He opened his eyes, and everyone stared at him.


    Lin Feng stood up and slowly opened his mouth to say, "There''s no issue with the medicinal pill. My essence energy which originally only had 50% or so left has already recovered to 80% now."


    Once Lin Feng finished speaking, the medicinal pill seller looked at the cold-faced man with a pleased face. "Brother, just what intentions do you have for slandering me so? Unless you are Ye Family''s minion and saw that things cannot continue for you all, that''s why you used this sort of underhanded tricks to besmirch the Drunken Star Manor?"


    The medicinal pill seller no longer hid his support and directly opened fire.


    The cold-faced man was infuriated after hearing his words. This medicinal pill seller had sinister motives and wanted to make a false countercharge to thoroughly ruin Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation. How could he tolerate?


    Just as the cold-faced man was about to make a move, he heard that mysterious voice again.


    "No rush. You let that Lin Feng try using essence energy."


    Hearing this voice again, the cold-faced man''s heart settled down a bit. Maybe this fellow was not screwing him?


    "Lin Feng, try testing a few moves and see if there''s any change in essence energy!" the cold-faced man suddenly shouted.


    When the medicinal pill seller heard this, the originally pleased look instantly faded, and he could not help flying into a great rage. "This fellow! Truly rude! You and I have no grudge. I just said a few sentences about the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Just why do you keep repeatedly setting yourself against me? Could I have really hit the mark? You''re Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s lackey?"


    The cold-faced man ignored him and just said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, try testing a few moves. If there''s really no issue, our team''s gains this time will all belong to you!"


    The cold-faced man really risked it all and directly took out all the gains from the operation this time as the bargaining chip.


    The medicinal pill seller''s expression changed when he heard this and was just about to stop it when he heard Lin Feng chuckle and say, "Shi Kaiyong, you said it! Alright, I''ll test out a few moves!"


    Finishing and without waiting for the medicinal pill seller to stop him, he directly unleashed several palm knives.


    Who knew that after a few palm knives were struck out, Lin Feng''s face greatly changed!


    "This . . . This medicinal pill really does have problems! My essence energy expenditure is actually three to four times faster than normal!" Lin Feng cried out.


    These words were just like throwing down a bomb. All the martial artists'' gaze locked onto the medicinal pill seller.


    "Mali . . . Malicious slanders! My . . . My medicinal pills don''t have any issues! It . . . It must be that you guys colluded together!" The medicinal pill seller remained stubborn and refused to admit it.


    "Screw your uncle! I, Lin Feng, have worked in this occupation for so long, no one has ever said that about me, your father! You sold fake medicine to me, your father, and even said that your father is slandering you?! Brothers, go and waste him!" Lin Feng unwittingly flew into a great rage and was about to call his team to waste that medicinal pill seller.


    The medicinal pill seller was greatly alarmed and instinctively wanted to run. But the surroundings were encircled by demonic beast hunters, where to flee to?


    "Wait!" Lin Feng''s team was about to take action when Shi Kaiyong stopped it.

    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What? Shi Kaiyong, you aren''t trying to protect him this time, right?" Lin Feng asked in a harsh tone.


    Emotions were running high at the moment. Lin Feng himself was also the person who was swindled. His tone naturally would not be good.


    However, Shi Kaiyong did not mind. He just said icily, "Lin Feng, leave it to me! I have ways of making him yield everything. At that time, it wouldn''t be too late to deal with him."


    As he spoke, Shi Kaiyong looked over to the medicinal pill seller. That ice-cold gaze made the medicinal pill seller unwittingly shudder.


    When Shi Kaiyong said so, Lin Feng was no longer so insistent. He dusted his hands and said, "Fine, up to you."


    Shi Kaiyong looked at the medicinal pill seller and asked coldly, "Are you going to submit, or do you want me to take action?"


    The medicinal pill seller gritted his teeth and advanced instead of retreating as he attacked Shi Kaiyong.


    But before he even touched Shi Kaiyong, a person shot out from the sides to attack his flank.


    The medicinal pill seller was greatly shocked and hurriedly evaded. But another person cut off his path of retreat.


    Boom!


    The medicinal pill seller took a blow to his back and staggered as he charged over towards Shi Kaiyong.


    What greeted him was a solid punch, right in the abdomen. The medicinal pill seller was in so much pain that his mouth went wide open.


    Right then, a tiny thing which shot out from who knew where flashed past and accurately landed inside his mouth.


    "Gulp!" The medicinal pill seller involuntarily swallowed on his own and immediately felt that things were not good.


    "Urgh . . . Hurrk . . ."


    The medicinal pill seller desperately tried to vomit out the thing he swallowed, but that thing melted once it entered his mouth. Just a short while and it vanished with trace.


    Immediately after, he felt his divine soul tremble, and then, he became unaware of anything.


    When Shi Kaiyong saw this scene, he also felt slightly afraid. Just now, he wanted to find who threw that object but did not manage to do so. That mysterious person was clearly an expert.


    "You can ask now. Ask him anything, and he will answer."


    At this time, that voice appeared inside Shi Kaiyong''s mind once again.


    Shi Kaiyong was stunned. Only now did he know why that mysterious person wanted him to pry that medicinal pill seller''s mouth open.


    Could that be a medicinal pill which was thrown in just now? What kind of medicinal pill could actually have such an effect?


    Shi Kaiyong collected his emotions and opened his mouth, and asked the medicinal pill seller, "Just who in the world are you? Why did you come here to peddle medicinal pills?"


    The medicinal pill seller answered woodenly, "I''m called Huang Song, a retainer . . . of the Wan Family. The owner sent me to the Endless Forest to sell medicinal pills to you all. At the same time . . . plan to defame the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to make them unable to rise again."


    Shi Kaiyong instantly felt his blood boil when he heard that. This Drunken Star Manor will really stop at nothing!


    They already occupied such a huge advantage, yet they had to drive the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to their wits ends!


    "Did Wan Donghai make you sell these fake medicinal pills?" Shi Kaiyong gnashed his teeth as he held his patience and asked.


    "No, it''s the Second Boss, Wang Dongyang. He . . . He said that those demonic beast hunters are all . . . all miserable wretches, unworthy of using such fine medicinal pills. Hence, he refined these medicinal pills anew, lessened the medicinal strength, and even added some stuff to make you all temporarily unable to feel the decline in medicinal effect. But as long as essence energy is utilized, it will be exposed."


    Pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, it directly turned the whole matter upside down.


    "I''m going to f*ck him, that Wang Dongyang! He''s the miserable wretch! His whole family is all miserable wretches!"


    "F*ck your mom! Your father won''t ever go to the Drunken Star Manor to buy medicinal pills anymore!"


    "Mother . . .! Indeed, none of those brothers are good things! Who supported the Drunken Star Manor? Isn''t it us, these demonic beast hunters? To actually scold us miserable wretches?! And even sell fake medicine?!"


    . . . . . .


    Briefly, public sentiments were raging!


    With this, the Drunken Star Manor''s reputation among demonic beast hunters is already utterly rotten.


    Next, Shi Kaiyong asked a few more inner-circle questions, but Huang Song did not know much.


    Even so, some behind the scenes were still dug out by Shi Kaiyong; such as killing demonic beast hunters to rob them and etc. All these touched the bottom-line of the demonic beast hunters even more.


    The demonic beast hunters present most likely took up a significant percentage of the State of Qin''s demonic beast hunters. One could imagine how the Drunken Star Manor''s business would be like in the future.


    After some time, Huang Song suddenly woke up. Seeing the countless vicious gazes, his heart instantly trembled.


    "I . . . What happened to me earlier? Wh-What are you thinking of doing? I . . . I''m someone from the Drunken Star Manor! You dare to touch me?!" Huang Song stammered.


    Lin Feng looked at Huang Song and kept smiling. Except that the smile, no matter how one looked at it, did not appear too friendly.


    "Brothers, we bought so many medicinal pills just now. Since these medicinal pills are all fake, then shouldn''t we return them to him?" Lin Feng suddenly said to everyone.


    These demonic beast hunters were all experienced. When Lin Feng said that, they guessed Lin Feng''s intentions and could not help praising.


    The outcome that followed was apparent. This Huang Song was stuffed by those medicinal pills until he exploded. It was an extremely tragic end.


    . . . . . .


    "Big brother, just who was the person secretly directing you just now?" a member of Shi Kaiyong''s team could not resist asking out of curiosity.


    Shi Kaiyong shook his head and said, "Don''t know, but this person is undeniably an expert! I''ve never even heard of this type of secret transmission skill! And that medicinal pill which made Huang Song tell the truth is completely unheard of! In my opinion, this person definitely has deep relations with Pavilion Lord Ye and is extremely powerful!"


    "Big Brother is right. This person is abnormally mysterious. Just now, you made me pay attention to the surrounding people, but I didn''t even get a clear view of how that expert moved to fire out that medicinal pill! This person actually saw through those fake medicinal pills easily and also possess such incredible medicinal pills. Definitely also an Alchemy Dao expert!"


    Shi Kaiyong nodded and said, "That''s right! From my conjecture, this person has the strength of Alchemy Grandmaster at the minimum! But since there''s such a powerful aid behind Pavilion Lord Ye, why hasn''t there been any movements? I have a feeling that as long as this person is willing to lend a hand, the Drunken Star Manor is surely no match!"


    The teammates said in shock, "Al-alchemy Grandmaster? Doesn''t that mean that there''s a Crystal Formation Realm expert among us?"


    The teammates lifted their heads to scan around and felt rather worried.


    A Crystal Formation Realm expert hiding among a bunch of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. This is absolutely not a good feeling.


    Shi Kaiyong frowned and said, "Dumbass! What are you looking for? That senior is hiding among us, so he definitely doesn''t wish to expose his identity. Otherwise, he also wouldn''t be so cautious. With his capabilities, just a slap and he can smack Huang Song to death. Why would he cause such a mess for? This matter is concluded. I''ll also talk to the two of them in a while. Just take it as if this incident never happened!"


    Those team members broke into a cold sweat again after hearing Shi Kaiyong say that and hurriedly nodded like chicken pecking rice.


    Shi Kaiyong also lowered his voice and said, "The treasure seizing event this time, we''ll just do our best. Take utmost care to not irritate some dreadful existences. Otherwise, you won''t even know how you die! I reckon that there''s already no small number of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists among the humans. And I have a feeling that there will be even more amazing experts appearing!"


    Before Shi Kaiyong finished talking, a surge of mighty aura abruptly appeared. The crowd which had already calmed down was once again stirred up.


    This aura was powerful to the point it was suffocating!


    These people were all Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, but they could not even muster up the courage to resist!

 Chapter 166: Sea Transformation Realm Expert!

    Chapter 166: Sea Transformation Realm Expert!

    "So . . . So powerful!" Nanfeng Zhirou clenched her jaw and was clearly straining to withstand this pressure.


    Just then, a faint soul strength extended in front of her. The pressure instantly reduced.


    Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment but saw Ye Yuan flash her a light smile.


    This fellow, towards the utilization of soul strength, he has actually already reached such a degree? Nanfeng Zhirou was very amazed in her heart.


    To her, Ye Yuan was just like a map which could never be fully unfurled.


    Every time she felt that she understood Ye Yuan more, she would discover that her understanding was only a part of him.


    "This . . . This person is so strong. What''s his background?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked.


    "How would I know? I only know that there''s that few Crystal Formation Realm martial artists in the State of Qin. I don''t know anything else. Furthermore, I don''t feel like the State of Qin has Sea Transformation Realm martial artists." Ye Yuan was dumbfounded.


    His predecessor was a top-tier noob, so no need to talk about that.


    Ji Qingyun was also utterly unfamiliar with the Boundless World. Such a long time and he had not even heard of any powerhouses'' name.


    "Sea . . . Sea Transformation Realm?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s eyes popped out. This was her first time seeing a Sea Transformation Realm expert.


    "If not? It''s also impossible for Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realms to release such powerful pressure, right?" Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said.


    Just then, a shadow cut across the skies. A large bird-like creature stopped in mid-air just like that. On it, an elder stood upright with a majestic aura.


    "All get lost for old me! Within a mile radius from the gorge entrance, any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"


    The elder''s words were just like rolling heavenly thunder, spreading out in all directions and entering everyone''s ears. He left these words extremely arrogantly and drove the large bird to fly towards the entrance of the gorge.


    "Who''s that person? So rampant! He asks your father to leave, and your father leaves? Your father just refuses to leave!"


    The people by the sides looked at him like they were looking at a fool. "Then you stay. We''re going!"


    "Aiya, don''t! Together, go together! Just who on earth is that person? Why is he so powerful? Glancing once at him gave the feeling like I was crumbling!"


    "If I didn''t see wrongly, that old man is the Black Crow Old Man who went missing for many years! When he went missing, he was only at the Crystal Formation Realm. I didn''t think that not only did he not die, but he also even advanced a step and stepped into Sea Transformation Realm!"


    "My god! Sea Transformation Realm! It''s hopeless in my entire life . . ."


    "We all know . . ."


    The crowd retreated like tidal water. Even the Crystal Formation Realm martial artists who arrived previously also fell back sensibly.


    In front of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were simply not worth looking at!


    Sea Transformation Realm did not lie within the major realms carved out by martial artists, but it laid between the Crystal Formation Realm and Soul Sea Realm. It was a special type of state!


    The Sea Transformation; its full name should be Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea!


    After martial artists enter the Crystal Formation Realm, the compression of essence energy already reached the limits!


    It was no longer possible to want to continue storing essence energy inside the body.


    When Crystal Formation Realm martial artists reach the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm, the dantian became the greatest obstacle of shackling martial artists'' breakthrough instead!


    Thereupon, ancient sages used powerful soul strength to shatter the dantian''s fetters, creating this step of Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea, which also laid a solid foundation for martial artists to continue breaking through their limits!


    Crystal Formation Realm martial artists pulverize the dantian along with the crystallized state essence energy and transform into a miraculous state. This process was Sea Transformation!


    This sea was called the Dantian Sea.


    After the dantian transforms into a sea, martial artists could take their first steps to communicate with the outer world''s heaven and earth essence energy, transferring the outside world''s heaven and earth essence energy for their own use. Their strength would experience a substantial increase.


    Invoking the outside world''s heaven and earth essence energy when compared to using the heaven and earth essence energy within the body, the former was naturally more superior.


    Hence, the strength of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were not even on the same level!


    No matter how powerful Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were, it was impossible to make everybody feel such pressure. But Sea Transformation Realm martial artists who borrowed Heaven & Earth essence energy could easily do this.


    However, Shattering the Core, Transforming into Sea was only a special state. It should be said that it was the embryonic form of the Soul Sea Realm. Therefore, it could not be categorized as a major realm.


    Even so, the might of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists already exceeded the understanding of ordinary people.


    It could be said that Crystal Formation Realm martial artists still belonged to mortal martial artists, while Sea Transformation Realm martial artists already took the first step to transcending beyond mortal and the secular!


    Ye Yuan looked at the back figure of that old man who floated away and could not resist sneering. "Just the First Level Sea Transformation Realm, what''s there to be arrogant about?"


    Nanfeng Zhirou hurriedly covered his mouth. "You don''t want to live anymore?! That''s a Sea Transformation Realm expert!"


    Feeling the faint aroma coming from Nanfeng Zhirou''s palm, Ye Yuan felt very comfortable and invigorated.


    "Isn''t it just Sea Transformation Realm? Give me ten years. I guarantee that you will break through to the Soul Sea Realm! Uh . . . However, ten years seem to be a little too long," Ye Yuan transmitted his voice.


    The ten years being too long was Ye Yuan saying that he might not stay in the Boundless World for ten years.


    Even if he could stay in the Boundless World for ten years, he would also leave the State of Qin in the future, and leave the Tranquil Cloud Sect. It was not possible to keep staying by Nanfeng Zhirou''s side to be a nanny.


    But Nanfeng Zhirou did not think so. "Ten . . . Ten years? Soul Sea Realm?"


    Even though it was a voice transmission, Nanfeng Zhirou felt tongue-tied.


    Ten years to breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm, forget about the State of Qin, even in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, nobody dared to boast like this.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not say it was him breaking through, but to help her break through!


    Also, Ye Yuan did not say break through to the Sea Transformation Realm, but break through to the Soul Sea Realm!


    Is there a mistake?


    This feeling did not feel like they were talking about breaking through cultivation realm, but more like playing a game, casually talking about it to breakthrough cultivation realms.


    Ye Yuan also misunderstood. He glanced at Nanfeng Zhirou and said, "Ten years too long? Uh . . . Eight years is also possible! But it can''t be any lesser! With your talent, just eight years is somewhat overly forceful already. Your foundation will be unstable."


    "Puchi!" Nanfeng Zhirou nearly vomited a mouthful of old blood.


    Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very amazing, why did these words feel so unreliable?


    Ye Yuan also could not be blamed. Not too much time had actually passed since his rebirth. Even though he already gradually adjusted to the State of Qin''s lifestyle, many concepts were still stagnated in his previous life.


    The way he saw it, with the assistance of medicinal pills, as long as talent was not too poor, breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm was something that was easy to accomplish.


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s talent was not considered bad. But compared to genuine geniuses, there was still quite a disparity.


    Hence, Ye Yuan saying ten years was actually already a broader time frame.


    But these words totally did not sound like that from how Nanfeng Zhirou heard it. It was simply like bragging to the skies.


    "Will you die if you don''t brag? Ten years to breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm, then you can be the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Leader already!" Nanfeng Zhirou said with a face full of disdain.


    Only now did Ye Yuan react as he seemed to realize that what he just said was a little over the top. With Nanfeng Zhirou''s horizons, she simply could not understand it.


    "Haha, this was also found out by you. We''d better hurry up. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be worth it if we will get killed by that old freak."


    "I know that you were bragging! But can''t you just think first before saying all that?" Nanfeng Zhirou rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 167: Essence Fire Born!

    Chapter 167: Essence Fire Born!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Roar!"


    Right then, a colossal cry sounded out.


    A large bird howled through the air and stopped in front of the bunch of demonic beasts, facing off with Black Crow Old Man across a distance.


    After that large bird demonic beast appeared, the demonic beasts'' side also retreated far away.


    "Hey hey, what demonic beast is that? Seems to be very amazing!"


    "What rubbish! To think that you''re a demonic beast hunter, to actually not even recognize the Golden Sword Condor! That''s a Tier 4 demonic beast! I heard that this Golden Sword Condor is the lord of the Lotus Moon Gorge! Before this, it was lurking god knows where. Now that it saw the Black Crow Old Man appear, it also could not resist coming out."


    "Look at what you''re saying. While I may be a demonic beast hunter, do you feel that I have the ability to hunt a Tier 4 demonic beast? It would be pretty good if he doesn''t come to kill me."


    "Uh . . ."


    The appearance of the Golden Sword Condor also caused a commotion over at the human martial artists'' side.


    Initially, they all felt that the treasure this time was most likely the Black Crow Old Man''s already. But now, a Tier 4 demonic beast actually appeared. There was a good show to watch now.


    While the Sea Transformation Realm was not a major realm, the power of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists could already match the power of early-stage Tier 4 demonic beasts.


    Like human martial artists, Tier 4 demonic beasts, at this level, the span of power is exceptionally huge.


    The vast majority of demonic beasts would all stop at Tier 4 in the end. Because the advancement from Tier 4 to Tier 5 is too tough.


    From Tier 4 to Tier 5, they would experience the most important phase for demonic beasts that is Taking Form!


    Demonic beasts who successfully took form would be like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate; becoming an extremely powerful existence.


    Demonic beasts who failed to take form would become ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation!


    Hence, the entire stage for Tier 4 demonic beasts was virtually all for the sake of preparing for this Heavenly Tribulation!


    This also resulted in the differences in strength being extremely huge for Tier 4 demonic beasts.


    Normally speaking, Early Stage and Middle Stage Tier 4 was equivalent to human Sea Transformation Realm. But Late Stage Tier 4 demonic beasts was equivalent to human Soul Sea Realm!


    This Golden Sword Condor should have just broken through to Tier 4 not long ago. In terms of power, it was probably the same as the Black Crow Old Man.


    Therefore, the current situation became quite subtle.


    Seeing a Tier 4 demonic beast appearing, the human martial artists were close to losing all hope.


    A Black Crow Old Man already made them lose all chances of snatching the treasure. With the addition of a Tier 4 demonic beast, wouldn''t that be deadly?


    Ye Yuan was not surprised to see this Tier 4 demonic beast.


    This place was the Endless Forest; it was the territory of demonic beasts right from the start. It would be even weirder if no high-level demonic beasts came over!


    Moreover, Ye Yuan was currently secretly delighted. These two fellows would surely battle it out to seize the treasure. At that time, he could just sit down and reap the spoils without lifting a finger.


    The Black Crow Old Man shot a glance at the Golden Sword Condor not far away, gave a cold snort, and simply sat down to meditate.


    Tier 4 demonic beasts had extremely high intellect. It clearly did not wish to strike at this moment, so it similarly landed on the ground to conserve strength and build up energy.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, I reckon that the treasure will be born today. To be able to attract a Sea Transformation Realm and Tier 4 demonic beast over, this treasure most likely isn''t simple. In a while, you''d better enter the spatial artifact. This way, I can search for the treasure with full force. I have a feeling that this treasure is very important to me so Senior Apprentice Sister will have to put up with this a little," Ye Yuan advised very earnestly.


    Nanfeng Zhirou clenched her jaw tightly, and her face changed a few times.


    Was she still going to be of no help at all in the end? A fierce unwillingness was born in her heart!


    But she also knew that with Sea Transformation Realm experts here, she really could not help Ye Yuan with anything. Not dragging him down was already pretty good.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s strength was not great, he had endless streams of means and methods. Searching for the treasure alone might be somewhat safer instead.


    "Fi-Fine then." Nanfeng Zhirou finally relented.


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed. He brought Nanfeng Zhirou to a place with nobody around and put her away inside the spatial artifact.


    Right at this time, an extremely powerful heatwave spread out from the depths of the gorge, making all the martial artists feel like they were being cooked.


    But everyone perked up because they all knew that the treasure came into being!


    Ye Yuan saw the situation and his expression was also one of joy.


    "Is it possible that an essence fire came into being? Such a powerful essence fire, I''m afraid that it''s at least Tier 4! This trip was indeed the right call!"


    Ye Yuan''s experience was far beyond what these people could compare to. He could guess from this wave the general situation of the treasure born this time.


    The so-called essence fire referred to the fire-seed born from the heaven and earth. Its might was extremely powerful!


    The moment a martial artist owned an essence fire, their combat power would shoot straight up. Of course, the prerequisite was that they could subdue the essence fire.


    Many martial artists wanted to obtain essence fires but were finally burnt until not even cinders were left.


    However, there was another application of essence fire, and that was to aid alchemists in refining pills!


    Tier 1 and 2 medicinal pills did not have a high requirement towards the flame. Ordinary earth fire could satisfy the requirement.


    But using earth fire for Tier 3 and above medicinal pills would be very forced. As for Tier 4 medicinal pills, earth fire would be completely insufficient.


    Hence, what an alchemist dreamed for the most was to be able to own essence fire!


    Even for Alchemy Apprentices and Alchemy Masters, if they could own a Tier 1 or 2 essence fire, the success rate and quality of their pill refinement would increase tremendously.


    It was just that compared to the number of alchemists, there were too few, too few essence fires. So scarce to the degree it made people despair. Hence, the vast majority of alchemists did not have essence fires.


    Ye Yuan''s previous life was an Alchemy Emperor. Tier 9 essence fire was the standard. It was just that after the death of his flesh body, the essence fire was unable to be brought over for rebirth.


    If it turned out as expected, that essence fire was obviously taken away by Ji Canglan.


    The essence fire in Ye Yuan''s previous life was named Cangli True Fire. It was prepared for Ye Yuan personally by Ji Zhengyang.


    In reality, Ji Qingyun could be considered to have grown up in a honey jar. Since the beginning when he came into contact with alchemy, from Tier 1 to Tier 9, Ji Zhengyang would help him prepare the essence fire nicely.


    What he had to do was to refine those essence fires!


    Ji Qingyun did that very well.


    . . . . . .


    After the heatwave passed, the Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor exchanged glances and swept towards the depths of the Lotus Moon Gorge at virtually the same time.


    Other people and demonic beasts only dared to flood inside by following the footsteps of others after those two major powers left.


    Of course, there were some people who saw this sort of situation and sensibly retreated.


    However, they normally did not even dare to come to Lotus Moon Gorge this sort of place. With such a fine chance this time, why would they let that pass by?


    Apart from that treasure which was born, there were a lot of good stuff in the Lotus Moon Gorge!


    However, Ye Yuan saw that it might be an essence fire which came into being. How would he have the thought to bother with those things? His figure moved, and he swept over to the depths of the gorge.


    "Hey, you guys saw that? Just now, a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat rushed inside."


    "Forget it, don''t bother about him. He''s in a rush to reincarnate, what has it got to do with us? We''d better hurry and source for some precious herbs. There are quite a few Tier 3 herbs here!"


    "Ah ah ah! You''re despicable! I saw that Dragon Serpentine Grass first!"


    The deeper Ye Yuan went inside, the more he sensed that there were several powerful auras ahead. They were definitely the few human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists and those Tier 3 demonic beasts.


    Ye Yuan was just pondering what should he do when White Light who had been following by his side all along suddenly moved away, following a small path, and darted in.


    Ye Yuan was about to stop him when he suddenly thought of something. A smile crept into the corner of his mouth, and he also hurried after it.

 Chapter 168: Earth Flame Lizard

    Chapter 168: Earth Flame Lizard


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Where White Light passed by were all deserted and precipitous places. Ye Yuan followed the whole way but hardly bumped into anybody.


    "Could this little thing really have the ability to search for treasure?" Ye Yuan became more and more certain about this view.


    If that was really the case, then the white tiger back then should have been led by White Light to search for the Blood Bodhi but did not expect to encounter the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python occupying that place.


    After the two parties fought a great battle, the white tiger lost.


    This way, everything could be explained.


    "Do Flowing Light White Tigers have such abilities? This little fellow is really extraordinarily talented!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.


    Ye Yuan had researched very thoroughly into demonic beasts and had never heard of the Flowing Light White Tigers having this treasure seeking skill. Looks like it was this little fellow''s own attribute.


    He really picked up a treasure.


    Thinking back then when he found White Light to be a hindrance, Ye Yuan could not help sweating heavily.


    The further into the gorge they went, the hotter Ye Yuan felt. It looked like nine out of ten it was essence fire. It was just he did not know what rank it was.


    Following White Light, Ye Yuan''s terrain grew increasingly higher, but that treasure was obviously at the bottom of the gorge.


    "This little fellow isn''t blindly leading the way, right? Or is he just finding food to eat?" Ye Yuan could not help criticizing.


    Although it felt like they were getting progressively closer to that treasure, this route did not seem too right.


    Right at that instant, Ye Yuan suddenly heard intense fighting sounds from the bottom of the gorge.


    "Wicked beast! Are you trying to fight to the bitter end with me?!"


    His answer was several bird cries with extremely powerful penetrative force.


    They were precisely the Black Crow Old Man and that Tier 4 Golden Sword Condor!


    Ye Yuan withdrew his aura and poked his head out to see. Indeed, he saw a human and a bird in a fierce battle at the bottom of the gorge.


    A Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse and a Tier 4 demonic beast''s battle, that aura indeed could not be mentioned in the same breath. Those hair-raising clashing sounds, even if one was thousands of meters away, they would also feel waves of palpitation.


    If it was close up, just the aftershocks of the battle would probably be enough for him to suffer, right?


    Ye Yuan looked at the place the pair were fighting, and his heart inevitably felt a chill. The place the Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor was fighting was precisely the entrance of a cave.


    Very clearly, that cave was precisely the passage leading to the whereabouts of the essence flame.


    With these two major powers guarding the cave entrance, who could enter? And them fighting so intensely was clearly also to snatch the initiative of entering the cave.


    Truly dangerous!


    Could it be that this time, he would really have to enter the treasure mountain but return empty-handed?


    "No way! If it was some other treasure, then forget it. But to the current me, essence fire is very important! I must get this essence fire!"


    Right then, White Light suddenly bit the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeve wanting to pull him away.


    "You''re saying to make me follow you still? But the entrance is over that side! You heading this way, isn''t that reversed?" Ye Yuan also criticized another bout in his heart.


    The direction White Light pulled him towards was the back of the mountain. It was simply far apart from that cave!


    White Light ignored Ye Yuan, left him behind and ran down the mountain.


    Ye Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "En? Could it be that there''s another entrance?"


    Once this thought popped up, Ye Yuan quickly displayed his movement technique and tagged along.


    Before long, a small cave that could allow a person to pass through really appeared in front of Ye Yuan! White Light wagged his tail in front of the cave with a cute face as if he was claiming credit.


    Ye Yuan was elated when he saw that. Rubbing White Light''s tiger head, he said in a lowered voice, "Well done, Little Fellow! There will be rewards for you after we return!"


    White Light seemed to understand Ye Yuan''s words as he jumped twice on the spot, appearing to be ecstatic.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the cave entrance. An extremely gargantuan heatwave came from face-on and nearly pushed him directly down the mountain.


    Ye Yuan was not alarmed when he saw this, but became thrilled instead! This signified that this tiny cave entrance should really connect to the bottom of the gorge!


    "White Light, you also go inside the spatial artifact. The temperature here is exceedingly high, so you probably can''t withstand it," Ye Yuan said and then directly put away White Light inside the spatial artifact.


    Then, a strand of faint essence energy poured out and completely enveloped Ye Yuan''s body. He entered this small cave without any hesitation.


    This cave was extremely narrow. But Ye Yuan could sense that it really linked to the direction of the gorge floor.


    And the further in he went, the more scorching the air in the cave became. Ye Yuan had no choice but to strengthen the essence energy shroud to withstand this heat.


    Without knowing how much time passed, the front suddenly brightened up. But the scenery in front of his eyes exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were actually all lava! This cave actually linked directly to the gorge floor!


    Just what kind of essence fire actually came into being here?


    "Forget about it. I''ll g inside to retrieve the essence fire first before anything else. Any later, after those two fellows determine a victor and loser, it would probably not be so easy to want to subdue the essence fire anymore!"


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan no longer hesitated. He swept directly towards the depths of the cave.


    Just having walked several dozen steps, Ye Yuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle and instinctively sensed that things were not good.


    Whoosh!


    A green colored shadow abruptly appeared in front of Ye Yuan and directly confront him head-on!


    Ye Yuan wielded the Canghua Sword without any hesitation. A sword beam flashed past. That green figure seemed to know its power and actually jumped aside in midair!


    "Sss . . . Earth Flame Lizard!" Ye Yuan instantly recognized this green silhouette.


    The Earth Flame Lizard is just a Tier 2 demonic beast, but it was just like the Long-arm Stone Apes; both were social demonic beasts. One Earth Flame Lizard appeared in this place, so there was definitely a large group following behind.


    Indeed, at the back of the underground rocks, dense green figures suddenly appeared, making Ye Yuan''s scalp tingle when he saw it.


    This number simply stretched to infinity!


    Immediately after, the Earth Flame Lizard automatically opened up a path. An enormous Earth Flame Lizard appeared in Ye Yuan''s sights!


    Tier 3 demonic beast, Earth Flame Lizard King!


    The Earth Flame Lizard King''s colossal eyes stared at Ye Yuan and its mouth emitted the sound"Chi chi." It was unmistakably giving a warning to Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan tried using the universal beast language to communicate with the Earth Flame Lizard King, but to his dismay, it had not awakened its inherited memories from the start.


    Ye Yuan''s furrowed his brows. He did not have time to waste here, so he directly made his move.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In a blink, countless Long-arm Stone Apes appeared and formed a face-off with the Earth Flame Lizards.


    "Yuan Fei, I''m out of time. I''ll leave this place to you. Just an Earth Flame Lizard King that did not awaken its inherited memories. It shouldn''t be an issue for you, right?"


    "Rest assured, Young Master. Leave this place to me."


    "Alright. I''ll pass the spatial artifact to you. Clean this place up and then hide inside the spatial artifact and don''t come out! There are two powerful fellows up there. You aren''t their match."


    "Alright, Yuan Fei understands. Yuan Fei assists Young Master to open up the path!"


    Finishing, Yuan Fei brought along a large number of Long-arm Stone Apes and directly headed for the Earth Flame Lizard King to crush it.


    While they were both Tier 3 demonic beasts, having awakened inherited memories and not awakening inherited memories were two completely different concepts.


    And Yuan Fei brought along the Long-arm Stone Apes to attack the Earth Flame Lizard King at once. He simply could not hold his own and instantly made space for a path.


    Ye Yuan hesitated no more and directly rushed over!

 Chapter 169: Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus!

    Chapter 169: Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The counterattack was not as tragic as imagined. Yuan Fei brought along a bunch of Long-arm Stone Apes and directly burst open a large entrance.


    That Earth Flame Lizard King was taken by surprise when he saw Yuan Fei who suddenly appeared; it was not prepared to react with an effective response.


    Yuan Fei had awakened his inherited memories. His intelligence already did not lose out to humans. It was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to Tier 5, Taking Form demonic beasts.


    Making him lead a team was clearly much formidable compared to the Earth Flame Lizard King.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate and directly rushed over to the big entrance.


    His movement technique was extremely fast, and very quickly, he vanished from within the tangled melee troops and headed deeper into the cave.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the deeper he went, the wider this underground cave became.


    Finally, he arrived at the end of the cave. This place was actually a vast underground plaza.


    The plaza was entirely empty. Other than underground rocks, there was the lava which occasionally shot up.


    At the end of the place was a very large magma pool.


    Ye Yuan took a step into the plaza and instantaneously felt the exceedingly horrifying heatwave coming from the direction of the magma pool as if it wanted to incinerate some into oblivion.


    "Really didn''t expect that the treasure which came into being this time is actually the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus! This underground magma can actually give birth to the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, truly inconceivable. Although it''s newly formed, it already possesses the Tier 4 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!"


    Seeing that horrifying heatwave, Ye Yuan did not get worried. Instead, he was delighted that it went beyond his expectations!


    In this stretch of heaven and earth, apart from the Divine Realm, there were countless Lower Realm planes. The types of essence fires were also beyond count.


    There was once a major power from the Divine Realm who added up the statistical data, classifying all the known essence fires into categories and compiling them into a book. Listed on it were several thousand types of essence fires from Tier 1 to Tier 9!


    And the newborn Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a pinnacle existence among Tier 4 essence fires!


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame could not exist independently. Instead, it was the accompanying essence fire of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus. As long as one refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame would become theirs.


    Not only that, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was the most suitable essence fire for alchemists among all the Tier 4 essence fires and even among higher tier fires!


    Because the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had a built-in attribute, and that was cleansing all creation!


    A lotus symbolized sanctity, and this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was exceptional even among lotuses.


    If alchemists could properly employ the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, they could purify the impurities in medicinal pills when refining pills and make the quality of the medicinal pills rise to another level!


    Apart from this, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame by itself could even refine an avatar body, which could allow Ye Yuan''s power to improve a step further!


    Hence, when Ye Yuan saw the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame at first sight, he was also indescribably excited!


    This Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was simply custom-made for him!


    If it were during his previous life, a newborn Tier 4 essence fire naturally would not be placed in his sights. But now, this could become an extremely huge aid to him!


    Even with Ye Yuan''s Heart Like Still Water realm, his heart also could not help palpitating with excitement.


    Ye Yuan took a step forward towards the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. But right then, an instinctive warning suddenly arose!


    Even though he did not turn his head back, Ye Yuan could sense that there was an extremely powerful palm wind attacking from behind.


    Ye Yuan directly displayed the Nine Swords Stance movement technique without thinking at all and turned into nine Ye Yuans.


    Bang!


    Not far off, a rock was struck by the palm wind and instantly turned into fine powder!


    The might of a single palm was overwhelmingly powerful!


    "Tch tch, I didn''t think that a paltry little First Level Spirit Condensation Realm could not only recognize the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, but you can also even avoid my Soul Chasing Palm! Truly remarkable! Your movement technique just now seemed to be quite interesting!"


    The ambusher did not seem to have the intention of hunting him down, instead, started to praise Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan turned around. A middle-aged man who appeared slightly aged showed up on the path he came from and actually cut off his path of retreat!


    It looked like this fellow knew that someone was coming and had long laid in ambush here.


    "Senior, as a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, you sneak attacked a junior. If this spreads out, it wouldn''t be proper, don''t you think?" Ye Yuan said icily.


    "Haha, there''s only the two of us here. As long as you die, it naturally won''t spread out. We demonic beast hunters put the word benefit as the top priority. We have never bothered with these conventional rules. As long as I can kill you, I don''t mind sneak attacking."


    The middle-aged man was not ashamed, but took pride in it instead,


    Ye Yuan was also secretly astonished when he saw this middle-aged man.


    This person can actually hide from the eyes and ears of Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor and secretly sneak into the cave. It seemed like he had some capabilities.


    Without talking about other things, just this one ability of concealment was most like eminent among the demonic beast hunters.


    However, to actually encounter a Crystal Formation Realm demonic beast hunter made Ye Yuan feel quite surprised.


    Crystal Formation Realm martial artists tended to be proud and normally would not impersonate as demonic beast hunters. According to what Ye Yuan knew, the State of Qin did not seem to have Crystal Formation Realm demonic beast hunters. And this demonic beast hunter was also an Alchemy Grandmaster!


    It seemed like this person should be a reclusive powerhouse or some other country''s Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    From the undulation of the middle-aged man''s divine soul, Ye Yuan could determine his strength.


    "But pity, Senior still failed to kill me." Ye Yuan said lightly.


    "It doesn''t matter. You already have no way of escaping. You can only fight head-on with me. I don''t think that a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat can escape with his life under my, Fang Yaojiang''s'' hands."


    Ye Yuan''s face darkened. It was clear what is Fang Yaojiang said was the truth. The situation was very unfavorable to him right now!


    "Senior really have the confidence to kill me just like this? Or should I say, do you have the certainty of killing me in this short time? Don''t forget, Senior; there are still two even more powerful people outside glaring covetously! If I try everything to delay senior and wait until any one of those two arrives, at most the outcome is everyone fights it out to the death. Even if senior really kills me, I''m afraid that you also won''t have the time to retrieve the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Am I right?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Fang YaoJiang''s face changed. It was clear that Ye Yuan struck his sore spot.


    Ye Yuan''s movement skill just now made him feel quite fearful. Although a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm did not pose any threat to him, with that movement technique there, it probably would not be such an easy matter to have a quick battle.


    Initially, he saw a Spirit Condensation Realm brat breaking in here recklessly and thought that he could get some petty gains. But he did not expect it to become a burning potato.


    "Humph! What a rampant junior! Do you really think that I can''t do anything to you?" Fang Yaojiang said stubbornly with a black face.


    "It''s not that I''m rampant. I''m just stating a fact. And even if Senior kills me, I''m afraid that you will also find it hard to subdue the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, right?" Ye Yuan said calmly.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a Tier 4 essence fire, and the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus itself was not something to be messed with. This Fang Yaojiang was only a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. His soul strength only at the low-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. Wanting to subdue the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was way too difficult.


    He himself already knew about this point. That was why he was in no rush to make a move but laid in here to ambush Ye Yuan.


    When martial artists were subduing essence fires, the vast majority would subdue essence fires close to the level of their own strength. Leaping ranks to subdue essence fires would basically result in the outcome of being burned to ashes.


    Of course, this excluded Ye Yuan.


    As an Alchemy Emperor, he was the ancestor of playing with fire. Even though his strength was a little poor at the moment, he still had the means to subdue a Tier 4 essence fire.

    Chapter 170: Capital to Negotiate!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Humph! Whether I''m able to obtain the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame or not, that is my business. But you must die now! I''ll kill you first and then slowly think of a plan."


    Having Ye Yuan expose his awkward situation, Fang Yaojiang appeared to have turned angry from embarrassment.


    His current situation was just like walking into a gold mountain but lacking the tools to take away this gold mountain. This sort of feeling was really quite unpleasant.


    Yet, Ye Yuan just had to mercilessly expose this point. How could this not make Fang Yaojiang pissed?


    Ye Yuan ridiculed relentlessly, "Slowly think of a way? You aren''t na?ve enough to think that those two fellows outside will leave you alone to slowly think of a way, right?"


    Fang Yaojiang''s face was rather black. Killing a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat did not affect the overall situation. Those two outside were the truly troublesome existences.


    He expended enormous effort before managing to conceal himself from those two''s eyes and ears and entering here. Yet, he could see the things but not eat them. How could this not upset him?


    "Just what are you trying to say?" Fang Yaojiang could also tell that Ye Yuan''s words had another meaning as he asked with a black face.


    "If I can help Senior get the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, I wonder if Senior is willing to let me off?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Fang Yaojiang burst into laughter when he heard him and said, "You? Stop joking! Even I, a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist can''t do it. You''re only at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and yet you say that you can help me subdue the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus? Seriously making me die of laughter! Don''t rack your brains to make me let you off. That''s impossible!"


    "Is that so?"


    Ye Yuan also did not waste his breath anymore. With a step forward, he arrived at the edge of the magma pool.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was a spiritual object born from heaven and earth. Although it had not unlocked sentience, it had its instinctive consciousness.


    It noticed that somebody approached and seemed to have suffered a shock. The lotus actually spat out a bundle of flame tongues which attacked Ye Yuan!


    Fang Yaojiang snickered coldly and did not plan on stopping Ye Yuan''s actions. This brat courting death himself saved him some trouble.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a Tier 4 essence fire. A First Level Spirit Condensation Realm rookie would die upon contact with it.


    Even if this was just the instinctive attack of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, its might was very terrifying. Even Fang Yaojiang himself did not dare to easily challenge this Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, let alone a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Fang Yaojiang seemed to have seen the outcome of Ye Yuan being burned to cinders.


    But in the next moment, when that bundle of flame tongues extended in front of Ye Yuan, Fang Yaojiang''s pupils constricted as if he witnessed something unbelievable!


    "This . . . How is this possible? That''s a Tier 4 essence fire! Even if Crystal Formation Realm martial artists touched it, it would virtually be certain death! This First Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat is actually completely fine?"


    Even though there were a hundred disbeliefs in his heart, the reality that happened in front of his eyes left him no choice but to believe it. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame really could not do anything to Ye Yuan!


    That bundle of Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was surging with tumultuous momentum just like a fierce tiger. But when that ''fierce tiger'' arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it became incomparably docile; just like a tame little kitty.


    After which, Ye Yuan waved a single hand, and that bundle of Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame dissipated into nothing.


    This . . . was too incomprehensible.


    Oh, right, that brat seemed to have formed a set of seals. It was just that with Fang Yaojiang''s realm and horizon, he actually could not understand at all!


    This brat is bizarre!


    Ye Yuan showed this move and then floated back, saying to Fang Yaojiang with a smile, "Not sure if I have the capital to negotiate with Senior now?"


    Only now did Fang Yaojiang recover and said, "Of course! To think that you actually have such an ingenious fire controlling seal. Since that''s the case, of course you have the chips to negotiate. However, I want to add a condition, and that is you have to teach this fire controlling seal to me!"


    A greedy look flashed across Fang Yaojiang''s eyes.


    A complex expression appeared on Ye Yuan''s face. "This . . . This is passed down from my ancestors. My family''s elders will punish me if I rashly impart this to senior!"


    "Haha, there''s only the two of us here. You don''t say, I don''t talk, who would know? At the very most, I''ll swear an oath to never display this seal in front of others in the future. But if you don''t teach me the seal, I''d rather kill you! If you don''t even have your life, then what''s the talk about punishment?"


    The current Fang Yaojiang was like a big gray wolf as he started to intimidate with threats and beguile with benefits.


    Ye Yuan was silent for a moment and seemed to be having an intense inner struggle. Fang Yaojiang also did not rush him. He was grasping Ye Yuan''s life and death right now. There was no need to rush.


    "Fine then, but Senior must swear to never display this seal in front of other people. Otherwise, Junior''s name will be removed from the family clan!" Ye Yuan said rather worriedly.


    "But of course!" Fang Yaojiang agreed right away.


    "Heh heh, looks like this brat came out of some hermit family clan for a trial test, but is a fledgling who has yet to experience worldly affairs. After your father learns this seal technique, how can I let you leave? If you were to return and call for reinforcements or something, then wouldn''t I, Fang Yaojiang, have no path to the heaven and no door into the earth? A hermit family clan that can possess such a remarkable seal is definitely extremely powerful. Hence, a dead person is more reliable!" Fang Yaojiang laughed coldly in his heart.


    It was very evident that Fang Yaojiang did not plan on letting Ye Yuan leave from the start and already had the intent to kill.


    An overjoyed expression showed up on Ye Yuan''s face when he heard that Fang Yaojiang agreed. "Okay. Senior, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath first, and then we''ll work together to subdue the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. After subduing the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame and we leave, I''ll then teach this fire controlling seal to senior. Otherwise, our small lives will be hard to keep if we wait for those two to come in."


    Fang Yaojiang also felt that Ye Yuan''s arrangements were very appropriate when he heard it. So he nodded and answered, "Fine, do as you said."


    "My strength is still insufficient and can only forcefully pin down the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. The matter regarding subduing the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus will have to be up to senior yourself," Ye Yuan said.


    "Haha, that''s natural. As long as you lure the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame away, leave the rest for me to do." Fang Yaojiang patted his chest and said.


    What he dreaded was the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. As long as Ye Yuan could draw away the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, wouldn''t refining the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus be very easy for him?


    "Alright, there''s no time to lose. We''ll make a move now. We can''t drag any longer!"


    Ye Yuan finished talking and directly turned around and headed for the magma pool. At this moment, he was not worried that Fang Yaojiang would suddenly deal a pre-emptive strike from the back, because the benefits Ye Yuan brought him was too great.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus plus the fire controlling sea was enough to let Fang Yaojiang''s strength rise several levels. How could he let this pass?


    As for Fang Yaojiang''s schemes, how could Ye Yuan not know? He was just playing along with the other party''s acting.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the edge of the magma pool. That Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was startled again and took the initiative to attack Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan repeated the same trick and that Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame dispersed once again.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus seemed to have suffered stimulation and spat out a strand of Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame again. The blaze this time was much more powerful than previously. Even Fang Yaojiang could feel that scorching heat.


    Ye Yuan formed the seals once more. But this time, it just held down the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame and could not make it dissipate.


    The flames spat out by the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus became increasingly stronger, but ultimately could not do anything to Ye Yuan. All the way until the end, a small faint yellow fireball flew out from the lotus flower. The temperature in the entire underground cave soared as if it wanted to melt everything.


    This faint yellow tiny fireball was the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame origin fire essence!


    "Quickly get to work, Senior!" Ye Yuan had a very strained appearance as he shouted at Fang Yaojiang.

 Chapter 171: Digging a Pit for You to Jump!

    Chapter 171: Digging a Pit for You to Jump!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Even without Ye Yuan''s reminder, Fang Yaojiang would also not let this chance pass.


    Right when Ye Yuan and the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s origin fire essence were having a confrontation, Fang Yaojiang finally made a move!


    He flew over to the vicinity of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s main body and rapidly formed seals with both hands wanting to bind the flame lotus up using a bundle of essence energy.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus seemed to have noticed that things were not good and tried to pull the origin fire essence back with full force. But the origin fire essence was currently locked-down dead by Ye Yuan. No matter how it called, the origin fire essence would not return.


    A bundle of essence energy promptly enveloped the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s main body. The Flame Lotus kept on twisting non-stop. It was actually trying to break free from the restraint!


    "Hahaha . . . To think that I, Fang Yaojiang, can actually subdue a Tier 4 essence fire! The heaven really opened its eyes! Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, stop struggling any longer and obediently become my lifeblood fire essence!" Fang Yaojiang roared madly with laughter. He was obviously very ecstatic.


    Ye Yuan could not help reproving him in his heart when he saw the situation. Is this fellow sane? Dug a pit for him and he just jumped inside like this?


    It was one thing to jump inside, but he was even so pleased with himself.


    Was his brain missing some neuron connections?


    Ye Yuan was drenched in sweat currently as he clenched his jaw tight, appearing to be straining himself heavily. It seemed as if he could be swallowed up by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame at any moment.


    But in reality, he did not want it to be too effortless and without any pressure at all!


    The reason why he pretending to be straining himself was so to create a false impression of facing off with the origin fire essence to make Fang Yaojiang jump into the pit by himself.


    Ye Yuan was initially worried that Fang Yaojiang would not fall for it. Then his elaborately planned trap would not take effect. After all, Yuan Fei was not around. What he could rely on now was only this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    Who would have thought this fellow, Fang Yaojiang, would really be so silly and na?ve to directly jump into the pit.


    It was fine if he just jumped inside, but he just had to cry out ''the heaven opened its eyes'' so arrogantly. Even Ye Yuan found it hard to keep watching.


    In fact, Ye Yuan wronged Fang Yaojiang. He was a very cautious person originally. This point could be seen a little from how he was able to sneak into this underground cave and ambush Ye Yuan.


    Ordinary martial artists, no matter how stunning they were, would also be in extreme peril under this sort of situation facing off with the origin fire essence. Regardless who was facing this sort of situation, they also would not dare to easily pull back essence energy. Otherwise, if there were a backlash from the origin fire essence, the outcome would be tragic.


    Hence, Fang Yaojiang felt that under this sort of circumstances, Ye Yuan had no other choice but to cooperate with him to subdue the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    He used common sense to comprehend Ye Yuan but was unaware that Ye Yuan was simply an existence which surpassed his common sense.


    There was no justice to not be tricked.


    How could Fang Yaojiang have known that Ye Yuan was essentially the ancestor of playing with fire!


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan refined a total of nine types of essence fire, and it was from Tier 1 to Tier 9 without missing a single tier.


    Moreover, with Ye Yuan''s attainments in Alchemy Dao, his skills with regards to essence fire already reached a transcendent level. In the entire Divine Realm, one could not find more than a few who were stronger than him in terms of playing with fire.


    Ji Qingyun and his father had their own specialized technique for gathering essence fires. It was called Fire Source True Sutra, and it was also a pinnacle fire controlling skill in the Divine Realm.


    Ji Qingyun had long practiced this set of technique to the acme of perfection. Even though his strength today was a little weak, it was really not too much trouble to deal with a newborn Tier 4 essence fire.


    However, even if Ye Yuan contained the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s origin fire essence, refining its main body was also not something so simple.


    Fang Yaojiang revolved his essence energy to the limits wanting to refine the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus as fast as possible.


    "Senior, is it done yet? I can''t hold on any longer!"


    Ye Yuan faked a look like he was not going to make it anymore. Both of his hands shuddered, and that origin fire essence nearly flew out.


    Fang Yaojiang jumped in fright at this scene, and his hand trembled along with it, nearly wasting all of his previous efforts. He only let out a long breath after waiting until Ye Yuan regained control of the origin fire essence. But the sweat on his forehead would not stop no matter what.


    "Hang on a little longer, Little Brother! It will be done very soon! Just a while more!" Fang Yaojiang quickly said.


    "O-Okay. Hurry up, Senior! I really can''t hold on much longer!"


    As Ye Yuan was talking, his hand trembled again, frightening Fang Yaojiang until his soul nearly flew out.


    "Little Brother, after this matter is done, I''ll give you a bottle, no, five bottles of Tier 3 medicinal pills, five bottles of Tier 2 medicinal pills! Just . . . Just hang on a little while more!" Fang Yaojiang sweated heavily.


    He thought that with his identity as an Alchemy Grandmaster, rewarding ten bottles of medicinal pills was sufficient to move Ye Yuan. But he did not know that what Ye Yuan lacked the least was medicinal pills.


    The medicinal pills Fang Yaojiang refined, even if they were Tier 3 medicinal pills, were just a lump of shit in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    "Fine then. You . . . You hurry up!"


    However, Ye Yuan still pretended to be very reluctant and used a bit more force to stabilize the origin fire essence.


    Ye Yuan took in the whole of Fang Yaojiang''s refinement. This fellow''s speed is really not an ordinary kind of slow.


    The origin fire essence was already tied down by him. If it were him, he would have roughly finished refining in this time frame. But Fang Yaojiang did not even refine 30% of it, and he still talked about hanging on a while longer.


    If it were really somebody else doing this, they would probably have been burnt to cinders long ago during this short while.


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not really let Fang Yaojiang finish refining. He was only wearing away Fang Yaojiang''s cautiousness.


    Fang Yaojiang''s refinement speed was slow because there was still a portion of attention placed on Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan withdrew right away, Fang Yaojiang would definitely retreat with even greater speed.


    Bluntly speaking, Fang Yaojiang was not fully assured about Ye Yuan, nor was it possible to fully trust him.


    Hence, Ye Yuan used unable to hang on to force Fang Yaojiang to make him increase his refinement speed. Once he increased the speed to refine the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, he naturally would not have the energy to monitor Ye Yuan''s activity over here.


    Indeed, after Ye Yuan showed that he was unable to hang on two or three times, Fang Yaojiang indeed converged his mind and started to seriously refine.


    With this seriousness, the refinement speed indeed became much faster.


    Very quickly, Fang Yaojiang''s refinement was drawing to an end. He could not help being elated in his heart.


    Just one more step, increase the speed a little more! This Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus is about to be mine! Fang Yaojiang''s inner heart was trembling.


    But right at this time, warning bells sounded in his mind.


    Fang Yaojiang only felt his eyes blur and a faint yellow glow instantly appeared in front of his eyes.


    Chiii . . .


    A burned smell spread out, and Fang Yaojiang''s entire person flew out backward without the slightest bit of suspense.


    Being struck head-on by a Tier 4 essence fire while completely defenseless, how could a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artists withstand it?


    Fang Yaojiang was currently lying on the ground quietly like a roast pig. His injuries were extremely severe.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan released the constraint on the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Once the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus saw that it could communicate with the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, it called it back to attack Fang Yaojiang without hesitation.


    This Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus did not even think about attacking Ye Yuan at all. Because it had not been him confronting Ye Yuan this entire time, but it was Ye Yuan''s one-sided suppression of it.


    In the eyes of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, Ye Yuan''s danger was much higher compared to Fang Yaojiang!


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus did not have intelligence. All of its actions were entirely out of instincts. Therefore, the first time he did was choose to attack Fang Yaojiang!


    The pitiful Fang Yaojiang was screwed over just like that by Ye Yuan . . .

 Chapter 172: Black Crow Arrives!

    Chapter 172: Black Crow Arrives!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "You . . . You are . . . How . . ."


    Fang Yaojiang who was burnt like charcoal laid on the ground at his last gasp. He still could not believe what just happened.


    Ye Yuan looked at Fang Yaojiang very innocently and said with a smile, "You''re talking about this?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan beckoned with one hand. The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus released the origin fire essence once again.


    But that origin fire essence did not have the intention of attacking Ye Yuan. Instead, it circled around Ye Yuan like it was fawning on him and begging for mercy from him.


    Fang Yaojiang could not move, but when he saw this scene, his eyeballs nearly popped out.


    This fellow! He faked it all along!


    Only now did Fang Yaojiang understand that how was this Ye Yuan helping him retrieve the essence fire? It was essentially digging a hole for him to jump!


    And he even jumped down happily . . .


    But, how was this possible?


    That was a Tier 4 essence fire! Even if Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses came to subdue it, they would be filled with trepidation and exercise extreme caution.


    Even if this brat came from a hermit family clan and had a brilliant fire controlling technique, with this brat''s strength, it was also impossible to make the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame do so, right?


    This Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame actually seemed to fear this brat!


    This . . . How was this possible? Just what was this brat''s background?


    "Puchi!"


    Fang Yaojiang could not hold back anymore and vomited a mouthful of blood. The burnt black him partnered with the bright red blood made him look very miserable.


    "I, Fang Yaojiang, have been scheming against people my entire life. I didn''t think that in the end, I would be schemed against by a little fellow. Truly retribution!" Fang Yaojiang wailed sorrowfully in his heart.


    This Fang Yaojiang had always been very low-key among demonic beast hunters and did not reveal his capabilities. But he relied on his brilliant concealment skill and connived against many in the same occupation.


    And also, because he schemed against people, Fang Yaojiang accumulated a massive amount of wealth. He relied on these accumulations to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm and even became an Alchemy Grandmaster.


    But who would have thought that he would be reverse-stabbed by Ye Yuan when he originally came prepared to ambush Ye Yuan.


    And this bout claimed his life.


    Ye Yuan no longer bothered with Fang Yaojiang but prepared to subdue the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    With Ye Yuan''s alchemic standards, he could naturally easily determine Fang Yaojiang''s injuries. He already no longer had the ability to threaten him.


    Because of Fang Yaojiang, too much time had already been wasted. Ye Yuan must get a tight hold on time to refine the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus to prevent a long night from being fraught with dreams.


    Ye Yuan''s hands created phantoms as he formed seals. The origin fire essence was instantly trapped by Ye Yuan again.


    Except that this time, Ye Yuan did not show any painful expression at all. Instead, he appeared to do it with ease.


    Even though he was mentally prepared long ago, Fang Yaojiang was still angered to the point he vomited blood again.


    That Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was trapped by Ye Yuan. It gave off chirping sounds like it was begging for Ye Yuan to spare it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t need to do this. Following me, your name will shake the nine heavens in the future! Even if you remain here, you also can''t escape the conclusion of being subdued by others. Rather than becoming those fools'' slave, you might as well follow me. Perhaps, there would come a day where not only can you obtain your freedom. You could become much more powerful!"


    It seemed to have understood Ye Yuan''s words. That Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame actually struggled no more and allowed Ye Yuan to trap it.


    Ye Yuan only gave a faint smile when he saw the situation and started to refine the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    This Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was a natural spiritual object. It could naturally sense Ye Yuan''s distinction.


    Although Ye Yuan was not strong, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus could sense the power of the depths of Ye Yuan''s soul.


    And from Ye Yuan''s divine soul, it could even faintly sense an existence which made it palpitate.


    Hence, its instinct also told it that submitting to Ye Yuan was its best option.


    . . . . . .


    At the gorge, the Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor''s fight had reached its white-hot stage.


    "Eh? What''s happening? The treasure ripples from the depths of the cave became unstable! Could it be . . . someone sneaked inside?"


    Black Crow Old Man gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "To dare snatch away my, Black Crow''s, jackpot, truly tired of living!"


    Finishing, Black Crow wielded his staff and beckoned with both hands. All the essence energy in the bottom of the gorge was thrown into disorder.


    The staff in Black Crow''s hands gave off a faint azure glow, and with the increased buildup of essence energy, the more terrifying Black Crow''s staff became.


    "You feathered beast! To dare ruin my beautiful thing, you really think I can''t do anything to you? Take this move of mine, Essence Qi Wave! Go and die!" Black Crow gave an enraged cry.


    Black Crow was currently angry to the extreme. There was actually someone who sneaked in from under his eyelids and snatched the priceless treasure belonging to him, Black Crow. How could this not infuriate him?


    In Black Crow''s heart, the valuable treasure born in this Lotus Moon Gorge was already long his. Others were absolutely not allowed to have a share.


    And now, there was really someone who dared to pull his tiger whiskers! Truly tired of living!


    An extremely powerful undulation came from the Essence Qi Wave. It felt like it was about to turn everything into nothingness.


    The Golden Sword Condor was similarly Tier 4 and also this Lotus Moon Gorge''s master. Its thoughts were actually roughly the same as Black Crow. It naturally also refused to back down at this time.


    Only to see that its bird mouth opened wide and an extremely powerful essence energy beam shot out.


    In a blink, the two powerful attacks collided together.


    Rumble!


    Sand and pebbles immediately blew everywhere in the entire gorge wildly. The area between Black Crow and the Golden Sword Condor was practically razed into flat ground.


    A bird cry resounded throughout the valley. The Golden Sword Condor actually flew away!


    "It''s actually Black Crow Old Man who is superior! Looks like these few years, Black Crow Old Man obtained quite a bit of lucky chances! His strength is actually powerful to such a degree!"


    "Yeah! Under ordinary circumstances, early-stage Tier 4 demonic beasts are stronger than First Level Sea Transformation Realm human martial artists. But Black Crow actually suppressed the Golden Sword Condor. So scary!"


    "The battle between Tier 4 and Sea Transformation is indeed earth-shattering! Completely not on the same level as Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!"


    Many curious people surrounded to watch this fight from far away. Seeing the Black Crow actually chased away the Golden Sword Condor, they could not help being greatly shocked, which further dispelled the thought of getting some small gains.


    While he chased away the Golden Sword Condor, Black Crow was also not feeling too good. The clothing on him was already tattered rags, and he also suffered internal injuries which were not light.


    But compared to the priceless treasure, what did this small injury even count for?


    Black Crow did not wish to ultimately prepare the wedding gown for others after a great battle.


    He recuperated for a short while before charging into the cave, sweeping past towards the underground at maximum speed.


    And at the current moment, Ye Yuan''s refinement had already reached the final juncture.


    He circulated the Fire Source True Sutra with full strength. Although he was a major realm lower than Fang Yaojiang, his speed was several times faster!


    Seeing this scene, the fury in Fang Yaojiang''s eyes had already turned into sorrowful hatred.


    Simply not on the same level! Why did you pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger?!


    If I knew beforehand that this brat was so powerful and so sinister, couldn''t I have just withdrawn straightaway?


    Currently, Fang Yaojiang''s intestines were already green with regret. It was truly wanting to cry but have no tears.


    Right at this time, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura approaching this place rapidly.


    Fand Yaojiang sweated heavily. It looked like the outcome was decided outside. Wonder if it was Black Crow Old Man or the Golden Sword Condor?


    However, the result seemed to be the same.


    Fang Yaojiang''s eyes could not resist turning towards Ye Yuan. A thick mockery intent was revealed in his eyes.


    Brat, you plotted against your father, but isn''t your outcome still death? I don''t believe that you can escape alive from the hands of a Sea Transformation Realm!

 Chapter 173: Last Minute Breakthrough!

    Chapter 173: Last Minute Breakthrough!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The approaching person was clearly releasing a powerful aura on purpose. The goal was to make the other party surrender.


    Black Crow Old Man was powerful and simply did not care who was inside. Either way, as long as he found out, the outcome was death.


    This was the powerful confidence in his own strength!


    "Where art thou from, Little Thief! To dare spoil this Old Man''s business! Quickly leave, and I''ll spare your life! Otherwise, this Old Man will extract your soul and refine your bones!"


    Black Crow Old Man''s angry roar had exceedingly powerful penetrative force as it instantly spread throughout the entire underground cave.


    From Black Crow Old Man''s voice, one could tell just how enraged he was right now.


    The reason why Black Crow Old Man was so infuriated was that the treasure''s undulations were becoming progressively smaller. It was evidently about to be taken away by someone else.


    And even though he raised his speed to the maximum right now, he was still unable to arrive immediately, so he wanted to use words to awe the other party.


    The entire underground cave was full of twists and turns. No matter how great Black Crow''s speed was, it was also hard to rush to the deepest part right away.


    However, his angry cry did not have any effect at all, because Ye Yuan would not even buy it.


    Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to Black Crow''s warning as if he was unable to sense the aura belonging to a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. He continued to refine the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    Heart Like Still Water realm was no joke. Forget about Sea Transformation Realm, even if it was the aura of Soul Sea Realm, it was also impossible to disrupt him.


    "This brat has such powerful concentration. That warning, that should be Black Crow Old Man. Such an incredible aura, even I''m almost unable to withstand it. He''s actually not affected in the slightest!" Fang Yaojiang was secretly alarmed.


    He discovered that other than Ye Yuan''s realm not being high, he had no chinks in virtually all other aspects.


    Just what kind of hermit family clan could actually nurture such a breathtaking youth?


    At least within the scope of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Fang Yaojiang had never heard of such a powerful family clan. Even if it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciples, they were probably inferior when compared to this young man in front of him, right?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan who had his eyes shut this whole time suddenly snapped open both eyes. A brilliant light shone from his eyes.


    Fang Yaojiang was secretly shocked. He finished refining the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus!


    Ye Yuan''s refining speed was actually multiple times faster than him!


    This brat was truly leaking mystery from all over his body!


    Black Crow Old Man who was currently rushing over paused his footsteps and clenched his jaw tightly in anger. The aura of that fire-attribute treasure totally could not be sensed anymore!


    "Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk! Hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! Looks like this old man has not come out for a long time, many people in the outside world have already forgotten the terror of me, Black Crow! Regardless of who you are, I will let you know just how tragic the outcome of pitting against this old man will be!" Black Crow Old Man gnashed his teeth and said.


    Black Crow moved and swept towards the bottom floor again. But he stopped his footsteps again after just a few steps.


    "Huh? What''s going on? This is . . . essence energy storm? Could it be that this Little Thief wants to break through here? Heh heh, really does not know how the word death is written! After snatching this Old Man''s treasure, he did not think about fleeing but actually dared to stay at the spot to break through. I want to see if you have the strength to withstand old me after breaking through!" Black Crow Old Man said with a cold smile.


    . . . . . .


    At the bottom floor, Fang Yaojiang''s eyes revealed astonishment again. After Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, he actually not did run away immediately, but chose to take advantage of the opportunity to breakthrough!


    Could it be that this brat wanted to confront Black Crow Old Man face to face?


    But Ye Yuan was only at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Even if he broke through, it was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. That was on a completely different level from Black Crow Old Man!


    Just what on earth is this brat thinking?


    Although Fang Yaojiang was heavily injured, he was thrown into disorder by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    He initially thought that after Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, he would flee frantically, or find a place to hide. That way, he could see the despair on Ye Yuan''s face in his death throes.


    But who would have thought that this brat''s actions would exceed all expectations. He actually chose to break through on the spot and sit here waiting for Black Crow Old Man''s arrival!


    Ye Yuan'' expression was currently calm as if he did not sense the approaching danger. He just absorbed essence energy frenziedly and greedily.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was a Tier 4 natural spiritual object. By itself, it contained vast quantities of essence energy. After Ye Yuan refined it, he already became one with the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    Borrowing that colossal essence energy from the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, it was not surprising for Ye Yuan to take advantage of the situation to break through. It was just that the timing and venue he chose was unbelievable.


    In truth, it was not that Ye Yuan did not wish to run, but because he knew that he already could not flee.


    Entering the Heart Like Still Water state, Ye Yuan had an abnormally vivid grasp on the situation.


    From Black Crow Old Man''s undulations, he had already crossed that hidden cave entrance. Even if Ye Yuan wanted to flee, there was already no place to escape.


    Since there was no place to run to, then there was only meeting the enemy face to face.


    At this very moment, even another portion of strength was good too. What Ye Yuan was about to face was a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!


    Hence, he chose to break through without hesitation.


    Perhaps to others, Sea Transformation Realm was an unmatchable existence. Any form of resistance was futile.


    But Ye Yuan would not think that way. He had a clear understanding of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse''s strength and also had a clear understanding of the cards in his hands.


    Ye Yuan felt that he had the strength to fight!


    Another nine spirit liquid drops gradually formed within Ye Yuan''s Dantian. He was about to break through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Right then, an aged but ice-cold voice sounded out, "I was wondering which expert dared to steal my, Black Crow''s, item! Turns out that it''s merely a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm Little Punk! The younger generation should really be feared! To actually even dare to do a last-minute break through. Such bravado is worth complimenting! However, it ends here!"


    Black Crow casually fire out a ball of light which flew towards the currently breaking through Ye Yuan with tremendous speed.


    Even though it was just a casual blow, this strike made even Fang Yaojiang palpitate. Putting aside that he was currently heavily injured, even if he was perfectly fine, he also would not dare to receive it head-on!


    Bang!


    It did not happen like Black Crow imagined, the ball of light smashing Ye Yuan to smithereens.


    Just now, Ye Yuan suddenly turned into nine in an instant. And that light ball passed through the center Ye Yuan just like that, striking a rock behind.


    Then, the nine silhouettes combined into one and Ye Yuan''s figure appeared.


    The current Ye Yuan actually already successfully broke through!


    Black Crow Old Man''s expression stirred and said, "Oh, really have some capabilities. No wonder you would do this sort of suicidal thing! Brat, hand over the treasure. This Old Man will not just spare your life, I can even take you in as my disciple. How''s that?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Black Crow Old Man indifferently and said, "You don''t have the qualifications yet to be my master. What you can teach, I know them all. But what I know, you might not."


    "Hahaha . . . What an unbridled brat! Since that''s the case, I''ll take the treasure myself after I kill you! I want to see just what do you know that even I, this Sea Transformation Realm, can''t teach you!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were simply ignorantly rampant in Black Crow''s ears. Only Fang Yaojiang lying over the ground knew that what Ye Yuan said might not be false!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm as he said nonchalantly, "Yuan Fei, come on out!"


    When Ye Yuan said that, Black Crow''s face changed. With his Sea Transformation Realm divine sense, he actually did not discover that there were still people around here!


    Could it be . . .

 Chapter 174: Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array!

    Chapter 174: Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Under Black Crow Old Man''s horrified eyes, Yuan Fei appeared out of thin air!


    Yuan Fei''s arrival gave him a huge shock, but what followed was wild elation!


    "Spatial artifact! You actually have a spatial artifact! Hahaha . . . The heaven has truly opened its eyes! Not only did it let me, Black Crow, obtain a priceless natural treasure, it even let me acquire a spatial artifact!" Black Crow laughed madly without restraint.


    Seeing Black Crow Old Man''s appearance, Ye Yuan could not help secretly lamenting that he was an idiot.


    He even dared to show the spatial artifact, could he not have any self-assurance at all?


    Why is everybody so presumptuous and opinionated? Fang Yaojiang was so, Black Crow Old Man too.


    It was like every time a treasure appeared, it was prepared for them.


    If Fang Yaojiang could straighten out his mentality, it would not have been such an easy thing to invite him into the pit.


    "Yuan Fei, how did the practice of the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array go?" Ye Yuan transmitted.


    "Under Young Master''s guidance, after these few days of drilling, my clan members and I already have a preliminary grasp on this set of grand arrays. As a matter of fact, this set of arrays is truly miraculous. It can actually allow me to borrow my clan members'' strength and temporarily let my strength break through to Tier 4!"


    Even if Yuan Fei had always been very composed, his words also faintly revealed his excitement.


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been doing things alone. But he did not let Yuan Fei rest.


    Yuan Fei was Ye Yuan''s greatest aid for a period of time after today. Raising his strength was equivalent to raising his own strength.


    But if he let Yuan Fei cultivate by himself, he would not know just when he could breakthrough to middle-stage Tier 3. Hence, Ye Yuan blazed a new trail and imparted him a set of array technique, which was this set: the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array!


    Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array was a Tier 4 array with tremendous might. If eight Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses were proficient in this array, they could even cross ranks to challenge a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    Once such an array leaked out, all the great sects would surely snatch viciously over it!


    If there were ten Tier 3 demonic beasts like Yuan Fei using this array, killing a First Level Sea Transformation Realm like Black Crow Old Man would be like slaughtering a dog!


    But sadly, among Yuan Fei''s clan members, there was only Yuan Fei this one Tier 3 demonic beast. Therefore, Ye Yuan chose seven by seven, 49 late-stage Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes among Yuan Fei''s clan members. Every seven Long-arm Stone Apes formed a miniature Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array to coordinate with Yuan Fei to form such an array.


    Even though the might was not as strong as a genuine Tier 3 demonic beast, it could still let Yuan Fei''s strength soar a rank!


    The essence of the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array was to allow seven people''s attack power go through the amplification of the array by passing through the array''s development and finally let the eighth person unleash an overwhelming blow!


    The seven people''s attacks would multiply layer by layer when transiting through the array. By the time the eighth person released it, the might would be so great to the extent where it caused people to be struck with awe!


    Yuan Fei and his clansman formed this grand array. Although it was only an elementary understanding, it should not be an issue to trap Black Crow Old Man!


    "Brat, you aren''t thinking that with a Tier 3 demonic beast, you can deal with me, right? Hahaha!" Black Crow could not resist laughing out loud again when he saw Yuan Fei''s strength.


    Ye Yuan''s move was simply childish to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan simply smiled and said, "You''re wrong. Not Yuan Fei alone, but it''s a whole bunch!"


    Once Ye Yuan''s voice fell, seven by seven, 49 late-stage Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes instantly appeared.


    These 49 Long-arm Stone Apes each formed a team of seven, assuming a seven-star position, protecting Yuan Fei in the center. It faintly gave off a pressure which did not lose out to Black Crow Old Man.


    But Black Crow Old Man did not find it too impressive. He said lightly, "You actually have an entire clan of Long-arm Stone Ape spirit beasts and also possess a spatial artifact. Looks like your background is extraordinary! But precisely because that is so, you have to die today beyond doubt even more!"


    What a joke. Just an early-stage Tier 3 demonic beast and a bunch of late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts. Simply a bunch of trash. What kind of threat could they pose to him, a Sea Transformation Realm?


    At the very most, it was just delaying the time it took for Ye Yuan to die.


    However, Black Crow Old Man was indeed somewhat fearful of Ye Yuan''s identity. A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm rookie who not only could he subdue a Tier 3 demonic beast, but he even owned a spatial artifact, a priceless treasure. His background was probably not simple.


    It looked like he had to make sure not a single drop of water leaks out right now to prevent any future troubles!


    "Hur hur, is that so? You can come and test." Towards Black Crow''s posturing, Ye Yuan had an indifferent face.


    "Test then test. Just a bunch of ants. Could you flip the heaven?"


    Black Crow Old Man behaved as if he looked down arrogantly upon the world. Waving his staff, he attacked Yuan Fei!


    This blow looked light as a feather, but when it arrived in front of Yuan Fei, its momentum was akin to Mt Tai!


    Black Crow Old Man smiled coldly as he prepared to crush Yuan Fei with a single blow.


    Facing a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, Yuan Fei naturally did not dare to slight him. Long before Black Crow Old Man made his move, the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array already activated.


    Presently, Yuan Fei''s iron palm struck out. He actually wanted to clash head-on with Black Crow Old Man!


    The two blows collided and Black Crow Old Man was struck dumb with amazement.


    Yuan Fei''s blow was actually not the slightest bit weaker than his!


    This . . . How is this possible?


    Boom!


    The two blows caused an explosion in mid-air.


    Equally matched!


    Sea Transformation Realm experts had already transcended mortal and secular. Therefore, in their eyes, all those below Sea Transformation Realm were akin to ants.


    Black Crow Old Man''s eyes were filled with disbelief. He was a Sea Transformation Realm expert. How could he fight to a draw with a bunch of ants?


    And at this time, Black Crow Old Man was already surrounded dead by a bunch of Long-arm Stone Apes in the center!


    "This is an array? Yes, this is definitely an array! But what kind of array could actually have such power? To actually let an Early Stage Tier 3 demonic beast possess the combat power of a Sea Transformation Realm expert? This is too inconceivable!" Black Crow Old Man currently, apart from astonishment, was still in astonishment.


    "Hur hur, Senior Black Crow, I wonder if the test results are satisfactory?" Ye Yuan said laughingly.


    Black Crow Old Man''s face fell. This brat was really unforgiving about the situation!


    "Humph! I really did not expect that there was still such a miraculous array in this world! However . . . this is already your greatest reliance, right? You''re also looking down on Sea Transformation Realm experts too much!" Black Crow Old Man said with a cold smile.


    "How am I belittling Sea Transformation Realm experts? It''s Senior Black Crow who is pressing me too hard, that''s why junior had to resist. Why not we both take a step back and Senior let me leave. How''s that?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Black Crow Old Man''s eyes flickered, and he said, "It''s also not out of the question to let you leave. But leave behind that natural spiritual object, spatial artifact, and this set of array technique!"


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, "Senior has no sincerity at all. If I hand over these items, then what capital do I have to contend with Senior? The way I see it, Senior probably doesn''t plan on letting me leave, right? Afraid that I''ll return home to find the elders in my clan?"


    Black Crow Old Man''s eyes turned piercing at once. This brat was young, but not easy to hoodwink.


    "Humph! So what? This Old Man refuses to believe that just a mere set of arrays can let a bunch of ants threaten a Sea Transformation Realm expert!"


    Finishing, Black Crow Old Man''s body released a powerful aura. The surrounding essence energy seemed to have been plundered by him alone.


    This was the horrifying aspect of Sea Transformation Realm experts!

 Chapter 175: Awe of Sea Transformation Realm!

    Chapter 175: Awe of Sea Transformation Realm!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses could communicate with heaven and earth essence energy around, maneuvering them for one''s own use!


    Although Sea Transformation Realm only touched upon some superficial knowledge of communicating with heaven and earth essence energy, this modicum was sufficient to let them declare hegemony in front of martial artists beneath the Sea Transformation Realm.


    Black Crow Old Man waved his staff. All the essence energy in the underground cave was churned up by him.


    An extremely powerful aura emitted off of his body. The undulations were way stronger than earlier!


    "Yuan Fei, entertain Senior Black Crow cordially! Remember what I said to you before?" Ye Yuan did not panic when he saw the situation as he said this to Yuan Fei.


    Yuan Fei''s gaze flashed when he heard that. "Yes, Young Master. Yuan Fei naturally remembers."


    Just like facing the Golden Sword Condor, Black Crow Old Man''s staff gathered vast quantities of essence energy. A very terrifying aura spread out.


    But right then, Yuan Fei''s iron palm landed!


    Yuan Fei obviously would not smack Black Crow Old Man''s staff stupidly. He attacked his lower half!


    Yuan Fei''s attack could virtually draw with Black Crow Old Man. How would he dare to slight it? Hence, he hurriedly pulled back to defend!


    The essence energy collected halfway by the staff vanished with a trace.


    Currently, Black Crow Old Man was stuck deep within the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array. This feeling was just like facing a same rank opponent!


    And this Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array was aberrantly profound. Every time he wanted to break the array by eradicating those Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, the final opponent was always Yuan Fei.


    You got to be joking. Ye Yuan was a grandmaster of the Array Dao. How could the array he planted be broken so easily?


    How could Ye Yuan not have considered these flaws in Black Crow Old Man''s eyes?


    Unless one''s strength were immense to a certain degree to break the array using force, and if one did not understand the principle of Array Dao, Black Crow Old Man''s opponent would forever only be Yuan Fei!


    Black Crow Old Man was not powerful to that sort of extent yet.


    Although Yuan Fei was not as powerful as Black Crow Old Man, he was still a peak early-stage Tier 3 demonic beast. His strength was roughly equivalent to a human Third Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Through the compounding by the array formation, he already possessed the strength to fight with Black Crow Old Man.


    Of course, the prerequisite was to not let Black Crow Old Man mobilize heaven and earth essence energy.


    Black Crow Old Man was presently so depressed that he wanted to puke blood. Because each time he mustered up heaven and earth essence energy, it would be disrupted by Yuan Fei very shamelessly.


    Yuan Fei''s timing was grasped very well. Each time he attacked was when Black Crow Old Man mustered a small portion of heaven and earth essence energy. And the place he attacked was also a vital area.


    This small amount of heaven and earth essence energy simply could not cause much harm to Yuan Fei. Furthermore, Yuan Fei attacked a vital point. This left Black Crow Old Man no choice but to give up accumulating heaven and earth essence energy.


    This was also the attacking method Ye Yuan incited Yuan Fei to do!


    Sea Transformation Realm experts were indeed powerful. But if they were unable to muster heaven and earth essence energy, their might was limited.


    If the opponent were just an ordinary Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, a Sea Transformation Realm could completely crush him. But if the opponent''s strength and theirs were roughly the same, Sea Transformation Realm experts would rarely have the chance to summon heaven and earth essence energy.


    Previously, outside the cave, Black Crow Old Man also fought intensely with the Golden Sword Condor for a long time before finding the opportunity to unleash a big move.


    And now, Yuan Fei relied on the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array. His strength was already roughly the same as Black Crow Old Man.


    In the battle circle, the more Black Crow Old Man fought, the more secretly alarmed he became. If this continued, wouldn''t he, a Sea Transformation Realm expert, be exhausted to death?


    He could not refrain from regretting now that he was overly cocky at the start so as to fall into the other party''s grand array. If he were not inside the array formation, no matter how strong Yuan Fei was, he would also be unable to prevent him from gathering heaven and earth essence energy.


    The powerful aspect of array formations lied in this. Once trapped within, it was like sinking into a quagmire. Thinking of coming out then would not be so easy.


    It was also because Yuan Fei and his clan members had only come into contact with this array formation not long and could only unleash 10% to 20% of this array formation. Otherwise, the current Black Crow Old Man would already be a corpse.


    Black Crow Old Man gritted his teeth tightly. He knew that this could not continue any longer.


    The matter on hand was to break this array formation first. Or else, he might really have to fall here today.


    Black Crow Old Man dodged a blow from Yuan Fei. The staff in his hand started to gather heaven and earth essence energy once more!


    Yuan Fei was already accustomed to this because of previous experiences on how to defeat this blow from Black Crow Old Man. He attacked a vital area once again.


    But this time, Black Crow Old Man did not dissipate the essence energy to pull back and protect his vital area. Instead, he forcefully took a palm from Yuan Fei!


    "Not good! Careful, Yuan Fei! Quickly retreat!" By the side, Ye Yuan was greatly alarmed when he saw the situation. He also did not think that this Black Crow Old Man would actually be so decisive.


    But it was already too late!


    "Puuu!"


    Black Crow Old Man sprayed out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, but a trace of sneer still hung at the corner of his mouth.


    "Essence Qi Wave, explode for me!"


    It was making use of this time gap that Black Crow Old Man already completed the mustering of heaven and earth essence energy and successfully coagulated the Essence Qi Wave!


    Although timewise it was rather rushed, so this Essence Qi Wave was not as strong as back when dealing with the Golden Sword Condor. However, it was sufficient to deal with Yuan Fei.


    Furthermore, Black Crow Old Man was currently within the array formation. The Essence Qi Wave was too close to Yuan Fei and the others!


    Yuan Fei clearly also did not expect that Black Crow Old Man would play such a hand. By the time he heard Ye Yuan''s warning, it was already too late!


    In a hurry, he spurred the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array and forcefully carried out a defense.


    Yuan Fei could rival Black Crow Old Man, but that was only under the circumstances where he did not gather heaven and earth essence energy.


    Essence Qi Wave was not something he could defend against using just the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array.


    Boom!


    Yuan Fei along with his clansmen was blown apart by the Essence Qi Wave like a flower blooming as they flew out!


    Yuan Fei took this blow face-on. He withstood the bulk of the attack and was also the most heavily injured.


    The white colored Yuan Fei was currently drenched in blood, appearing very miserable.


    Luckily, he mobilized the grand array at the eleventh hour and neutralized most of the damage. 1Otherwise, he would probably be dead right now!


    The might of the Sea Transformation Realm was devastatingly powerful!


    Bang!


    Black Crow Old Man''s body smashed heavily on the rocks, crushing the rock behind him into powder.


    He forcefully took a blow from the grand array. His present situation was also not too good.


    In reality, back when Black Crow Old Man and the Golden Sword Condor clashed, he was already injured. It was just for the sake of rushing to the underground cave that he forcefully suppressed his injuries the whole time.


    Currently, having suffered a heavy blow, his strength was already far from before.


    Ye Yuan saw that the situation was not good and immediately activated the spatial artifact, storing away all the Long-arm Stone Apes.


    "Are you alright, Yuan Fei?" Ye Yuan''s figure moved, and he appeared beside Yuan Fei.


    "I won''t die, Young Master! It''s just that I did not manage to aid Young Master with your problem. Yuan Fei is useless!"


    "How so? You were a huge help! You enter the spatial artifact to quietly recuperate first. Leave the rest of it to me!"


    "Don''t! I can still keep up! This person is too powerful! I''m afraid that Young Master is not his match!"


    Yuan Fei did not have the intention to belittle Ye Yuan. In truth, it was after he exchanged blows with Black Crow that he could sense the other party''s might clearly!


    Ye Yuan''s realm was too low after all. There was simply no possibility of winning!


    "You recuperate in peace. When have Young Master ever let you down before? Relax, I''ll take revenge for you!" Ye Yuan said as he looked at Black Crow Old Man frostily.

 Chapter 176: Avatar Body!

    Chapter 176: Avatar Body!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Bang!


    A foot sent a large piece of rock in front flying. Black Crow Old Man walked out of the gaping hole which he blasted out himself.


    Currently, Black Crow Old Man''s clothing was in rags. Where was there even a trace of the bearing of an expert? He was totally a beggar.


    "Very good! Excellent! A bunch of ants actually forced this Old Man to such an extent. You all can be amply proud! However, the price for that is all of your lives!"


    Black Crow Old Man did not conceal his killing intent at all. He was truly enraged!


    Before coming to snatch the treasure, Black Crow Old Man already calculated it. The biggest opponent during this trip would be the Golden Sword Condor.


    But who would have thought that this brat which popped out from gods knows where, not only did he snatch away his treasure, he even gave him severe wounds!


    Inside the Endless Forest, Black Crow Old Man was a veteran powerhouse. Especially ever since he broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, he had never sustained such heavy injuries before.


    And all of these was bestowed by this brat in front of him who was still wet behind his ears!


    Without a doubt, Black Crow Old Man already had his killing intent triggered.


    As luck would have it, Ye Yuan currently also had his killing intent invoked!


    Ever since submission, Yuan Fei had been performing his duties diligently. Ye Yuan had already accepted this demonic beast servant.


    And just now, Black Crow Old Man nearly killed Yuan Fei!


    If not for Yuan Fei defending it at the last moment using the might of the grand array, he would probably be dead already at this time.


    Ye Yuan had always been a protective person. Black Crow Old Man''s actions thoroughly incensed Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan kept Yuan Fei away into the spatial artifact as well. He stared at Black Crow Old Man frostily and said, "This Little Lord''s life is right here. Come and take it if you have the capabilities!"


    Looking at Ye Yuan exuding fighting spirit, Black Crow Old Man laughed wildly. "Hahaha . . . isn''t your greatest reliance that grand array just now? Now that the grand array is broken, you''re actually straining to be arrogant in front of this old man. Truly have no idea of death!"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "If it was you at your heyday, I''m obviously not your match. But you''re originally already injured outside. You also received Yuan Fei''s blow just now. I''m afraid that your injuries right now isn''t light either, correct? How much strength can you unleash still? 60%? Or is it 50%?"


    Being seen through by Ye Yuan, Black Crow Old Man''s face involuntarily changed. He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Even if I can only exert 30% of my strength, killing you is also no different from squashing an ant!"


    "Is that so? This Little Lord wants to see just how you squash me, this ant, to death!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Finishing, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill straight away. His aura instantly skyrocketed.


    This was the Tier 2 Five Elements Spirit Link Pill Ye Yuan refined before the trip!


    Under Black Crow Old Man''s panic-stricken eyes, Ye Yuan''s realm soared and instantly broke through to Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and finally stopping at Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    "Huh? What medicinal pill is this? To actually directly broke through three realms! However . . . it should only be temporary, right?" Black Crow Old Man said with a scoff.


    "It''s enough to deal with you!" Ye Yuan said frigidly.


    "Haha! How wildly arrogant! If you can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, I might still fear you a little. Only raising three minor realms in the Spirit Condensation Realm, what can that change?"


    Ye Yuan did not waste his breath anymore. He directly turned into nine silhouettes. Nine sword beams combined into one.


    Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Nine Swords Stance!


    Ye Yuan used his strongest killing move when he came up!


    Black Crow Old Man''s eyes revealed a faint surprise. He clearly did not think that a mere Spirit Condensation Realm could actually release such a valiant sword move.


    Ye Yuan was currently releasing the Nine Swords Stance with the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Its might went up a level.


    Except, facing a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, this sword seemed to be lacking.


    Black Crow Old Man just lightly tapped with his staff, hitting that sword beam directly, and the sword beam immediately vanished into nothingness!


    Powerful! A might which made people feel despair!


    The Nine Swords Stance which had always worked could not even cause an iota of threat to Black Crow Old Man!


    Even if he could only exert 50% of his strength, the power of Black Crow Old Man still made people feel hopeless!


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not be na?ve enough to think that he could settle the other party based solely on this one sword. He was just probing Black Crow Old Man''s strength.


    Evidently, Black Crow Old Man also saw through Ye Yuan''s thoughts, so he brought out his strongest side.


    It looked to be a relaxed resolution, but tremendous shock surged in Black Crow Old Man''s heart.


    He originally thought that this sword was only so-so. But when he came into contact with the sword beam, the tremendous attack power of the sword beam still made him somewhat ill-prepared.


    This sword could already virtually hurt Crystal Formation Realm experts!


    And his strength now was only around middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm.


    If not for his thick base, just that move earlier would have already wounded him.


    He nearly failed in an easy task. This made Black Crow Old Man secretly furious.


    "Humph! Paltry tricks! You already finished fighting. Now, it''s my turn!"


    Black Crow Old Man decided to show Ye Yuan a thing or two properly to let him know what was called Sea Transformation Realm!


    He held the staff horizontally in front of his chest and started gathering the horrifying heaven and earth essence energy once more.


    Black Crow Old Man''s staff was obviously a spirit artifact. It had the effect of boosting the accumulation of heaven and earth essence energy! It was also precisely this aspect which allowed him to defeat the Golden Sword Condor.


    Now, Black Crow Old Man gathered heaven and earth essence energy. While it was not as terrifying as the heaven and earth essence energy previously, it was also not something that a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist like Ye Yuan could withstand.


    Ye Yuan''s expression faltered when he saw the situation. He gritted his teeth and formed nine bodies once more, unleashing the Nine Swords Stance once again!


    However, in front of the heaven and earth essence energy accumulated by Black Crow Old Man, this move was too insignificant. It could not even cause a small wave.


    "Humph! A brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Go and die!"


    Black Crow Old Man strike lightly. The Essence Qi Wave hurtled towards Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly executed his movement technique to try and escape. But the Essence Qi Wave''s speed became faster and faster, and followed after like a shadow!


    Rumble!


    The Essence Qi Wave exploded once again. The insides of the cave became a brilliant patch of white, blinding the eyes.


    Black Crow Old Man sensed that Ye Yuan''s aura had already vanished with trace! It was evident that Ye Yuan was already dead beyond dead!


    "Hahaha! Stinky brat who looks down on other people! Finally dead, eh? A puny little Spirit Condensation Realm actually dared to be so wantonly conceited! Truly tired of living!"


    Black Crow Old Man had also been taken advantaged of fully by Ye Yuan today. He had been in an extremely bad mood.


    Now that he knew Ye Yuan died, a mouthful of turbid air in his chest was finally exhaled, his heart had unspeakable carefreeness.


    Who knew how many years it had been, Black Crow Old Man was actually gloating over killing a Spirit Condensation Realm.


    After a few moments, the light dissipated. Black Crow Old Man looked towards where Ye Yuan originally was, and his laughter stopped abruptly. Following that, his expression changed!


    That place was actually completely empty!


    If Ye Yuan became residue, Black Crow Old Man would not even find that strange. But that piece of land did not even have a hair!


    Since when did the power of the Essence Qi Wave become so powerful?


    Could it actually vaporize Ye Yuan entirely?


    What kind of joke was this?


    Right then, Black Crow Old Man felt goosebumps all over his body.


    There was danger!


    Black Crow Old Man did not even think about it as his body shot backward with immense speed.


    Boom!


    A streak of sword beam shot out from the ground, punching through the earth''s surface, piercing straight towards Black Crow Old Man''s face!


    Swoosh!


    The sword beam grazed against Black Crow''s face, shaving off a few strands of hair!


    So close!


    And right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s figure also leaped out from the ground.


    Black Crow Old Man avoided this crisis, but his expression changed. "Avatar body?!"

 Chapter 177: Black Crow Yin Fire

    Chapter 177: Black Crow Yin Fire


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Correct answer. But . . . there''s no prize."


    Black Crow Old Man''s face flickered erratically. Ye Yuan''s might had far exceeded his expectations. All sorts of technique emerged in an endless stream. It was simply impossible to guard against.


    Just now, if not for his instinct, this sword from Ye Yuan would probably have shaved away half his life.


    His current injuries were already very severe. If more wounds piled on, he might really just fall here today.


    "You actually succeeded in making an avatar body. Could this be related to the precious treasure born this time? Just what is it?" Black Crow Old Man''s heart jolted, and he opened his mouth to ask.


    "Want to know? That will have to depend on whether you have the capabilities to pry open my mouth!" Ye Yuan snorted coldly.


    Black Crow Old Man was also a man with broad knowledge. Just from a look, he could perceive Ye Yuan''s methods and linked it to the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    However, Ye Yuan obviously would not be na?ve enough to help him resolve his doubts.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was currently his greatest trump card. Only a fool would do something like exposing his hidden cards himself.


    After Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, he spontaneously came into possession of an avatar body.


    Although this avatar body was not as strong as the main body, there was a benefit to it. As long as the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s main body did not die, the avatar could be produced continually.


    And the avatar body was virtually the same as the main body. Without any special methods, it was very hard to distinguish between them. Using it to confuse the opponent''s senses was an excellent choice.


    Just now, Ye Yuan formed an avatar body, but his main body quietly tunneled into the ground, all so that he could take him by surprise.


    It was just that he did not expect Black Crow Old Man to be very cautious and actually barely evaded this strike.


    "Brat, I admit that you''re very strong! However, this is it! To be able to force me to use this move, you can be sufficiently proud!" Black Crow Old Man''s expression changed as he said.


    Black Crow Old Man flipped over his palm. A bundle of black colored flames danced around on his palm, which would cause people to have apprehension.


    That bundle of black colored flames was just like Black Crow; one look, and it was undoubtedly extremely powerful.


    "Black Crow Yin Fire!" Ye Yuan''s face also changed when he saw the situation.


    "To think that although you''re young, your knowledge isn''t shallow. That''s right. This is precisely the flame that this old man became renowned for: a Tier 3 essence fire, Black Crow Yin Fire!" Black Crow Old Man said somberly.


    Martial artists familiar with essence fires had a common understanding, which was that black colored flames were generally not to be trifled with, no matter what rank the flame was!


    Because black colored flames tend to be virtual fires; without a corporeal body. And its might would be extremely powerful. Not only were virtual fires hard to defend against, but it could also be used directly on martial artists'' divine soul.


    Once tainted by virtual fire, even if they were fortunate enough to not die, it would generally be like maggots infested bones as it corroded the martial artist''s divine soul, all the way till death!


    Black Crow Old Man became famed throughout the world because when he was at the Crystal Formation Realm, he refined a Tier 3 essence fire, Black Crow Yin Fire. He became an extremely powerful existence among the Crystal Formation Realms.


    Today, even though Black Crow Old Man already stepped into the Sea Transformation Realm, the Black Crow Yin Fire was not outdated.


    On the contrary, because his body''s strength experienced a huge increment, it nurtured the Black Crow Yin Fire instead, making the Black Crow Yin Fire even more powerful.


    The Black Crow Yin Fire today was only a step away from being able to advance to Tier 4 essence fire!


    Toward the current Black Crow Yin Fire, even Sea Transformation Realm experts would absolutely be unwilling to provoke him. Dealing with a Spirit Condensation Realm like Ye Yuan was somewhat putting fine timber to petty use.


    However, this should be Black Crow Old Man''s hidden, final ultimate move. It served to show just how much emphasis he placed on Ye Yuan to plan to use this to deal with Ye Yuan.


    "Truly despicable! To actually use Black Crow Yin Fire to deal with me!" Ye Yuan looked like he was gnashing his teeth in hatred as he appeared nervous.


    "Brat, this Old Man also can''t be blamed for this. If you were not so troublesome, this old man also wouldn''t use my lifeblood essence fire. Now, you can go and die!"


    "Ah!"


    The next instant, Ye Yuan suddenly gave a miserable cry. His entire person was being scorched by the Black Crow Yin Fire, his appearance looking very terrifying.


    However, Black Crow Old Man did not show any complacent look on his face. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Avatar body again! Let''s see how long you can keep hiding! Once the effects of your pill passed, I want to see just what you have to dodge my Black Crow Yin Fire with!"


    When Black Crow Old Man finished talking, the opposite Ye Yuan in the midst of his wretched cries turned into nothing.


    Another avatar body!


    Black Crow Old Man waved his hand, and the Black Crow Yin Fire instantly passed through a rock. Another tragic cry sounded out.


    But just like before, Ye Yuan turned into nothing a second time.


    "Hide! Continue hiding! I''ll see just how long you can hide till!" Black Crow Old Man said with a completely somber face.


    He kept mobilizing the Black Crow Yin Fire non-stop, extinguishing one Ye Yuan after another. But what he wiped out were always fake Ye Yuans.


    Black Crow Old Man''s face was livid with rage. This Ye Yuan was too nasty to deal with! A puny little Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm could actually form so many avatar bodies. If it were somebody else, their essence energy would probably have long dried up, right?


    But Ye Yuan switched his location repeatedly. Black Crow Old Man also could not detect where Ye Yuan''s true body was.


    No matter how powerful his Black Crow Yin Fire was, it was pointless if he could not burn Ye Yuan!


    However, Black Crow was not anxious about this. Because he knew that the medicinal pill which could raise cultivation realm that Ye Yuan consumed surely had a time limit and aftereffects.


    Hence, before the medicinal pill''s effect wore off, Ye Yuan would definitely seek out the chance to deal with him.


    He did not even need to make a move to kill Ye Yuan. As long as he withstood Ye Yuan''s final attack, Ye Yuan would be free for him to butcher!


    There were quite a few secrets on his brat''s body. When the time came, and he underwent soul search, he should be able to dig out quite a few secrets.


    "Still not coming out yet? Is it interesting to play hide-and-seek? However, it''s almost time up for your medicinal pill to lose its effect, right?"


    After burning another Ye Yuan to death, Black Crow Old Man faced the empty cave and shouted loudly.


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s silhouette scurried out from behind a rock. The Nine Swords Stance was activated suddenly!


    This was the first time Ye Yuan took the initiative to attack after Black Crow Old Man brought out the Black Crow Yin Fire. It was fast and ruthless!


    However, Black Crow Old Man seemed to have expected this. He gave a cold laugh as the Black Crow Yin Fire danced within his palm and instantly attacked Ye Yuan!


    Before Ye Yuan had the time to cry out, the ground behind Black Crow Old Man erupted. Another silhouette tunneled out rapidly!


    This was Ye Yuan''s real body!


    He used the avatar body to attract the Black Crow Yin Fire, while his real body would unleash a lethal strike from behind Black Crow Old Man!


    The timing of this blow was grasped exceptionally well, not giving Black Crow Old Man the opportunity to catch his breath!


    The Canghua sword stabbed straight at Black Crow Old Man''s throat. It was also close at hand.


    Black Crow Old Man turned around, but not the slightest trace of panic could not be seen on his face.


    He suddenly chuckled frostily. "I''ve been waiting for you!"


    Just this sentence, but Ye Yuan''s expression changed suddenly.


    Black Crow Old Man reached out his finger to lightly pinch, gripping hold of Ye Yuan''s Canghua Sword.


    The next moment, the black colored flames extended up Canghua Sword, burning rapidly up to Ye Yuan''s sword-wielding hand, and then swiftly burned his entire body!


    "Using the same old trick. Do you think that I would fall for it again? Childish! Now, you can die!" Black Crow said with a cold smile.


    This time, the Black Crow Yin Fire seared Ye Yuan''s real body!

 Chapter 178: Flame Explosion!

    Chapter 178: Flame Explosion!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ah! You let go! You quickly let go!"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body was being swathed with black flames. The expression on his face seemed to be somewhat distorted, as if in extreme agony.


    "Hahaha . . . Painful, right? Let this Old Man appreciate your tormented expression properly! Enjoy this Old Man''s Black Crow Yin Fire to your heart''s content!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s tormented expression, there was unspeakable alacrity in Black Crow Old Man''s heart!


    During this trip to the Lotus Moon Gorge, he had been taken advantage of fully by this Spirit Condensation Realm brat. He was as depressed as he could get.


    Now, this brat was finally subjugated by him. Black Crow Old Man could not help having a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment.


    But Black Crow Old Man did not discover that Ye Yuan''s other hand was hidden in his sleeves as if he was secretly doing something the whole time.


    "Hur hur, bluffing you!"


    Just as Black Crow Old Man was enjoying the aftertaste of victory, Ye Yuan''s distorted expression was kept away at this time, and what replaced it was a relaxed expression.


    Black Crow Old Man''s face changed greatly, and he instinctively felt that things were not good!


    But, it was already too late.


    An extremely horrifying energy surged between Black Crow and Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s body suddenly sent out a faint yellow flame which intertwined with the Black Crow Yin Fire!


    "Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! It''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! You . . . You don''t want to live anymore? Two types of essence fires coming together will cause a flame explosion! We will all die! Stop! Quickly stop!" Black Crow Old Man shouted at the top of his voice.


    Essence fires were born from heaven and earth. Even a Tier 1 essence fire was an object with a spirit.


    All heaven and earth spiritual objects had their own pride. Therefore, two types of essence fires could not come into contact with each other no matter what, especially under the circumstance were the two kinds of essence fires were at around the same rank.


    Once the two types of essence fires contact together, the two different attributed essence fires would produce an intense friction, and from this, it would rise to a devastatingly horrifying explosion!


    This sort of explosion was hailed as Flame Explosion!


    The higher the ranks of the two different essence fires, the more potent the explosion produced.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a Tier 4 essence fire while the Black Crow Yin Fire, through Black Crow Old Man''s careful nurturing, had already approached Tier 4.


    The might of the flame explosion produced by these two types of essence fires coming together could be imagined!


    "Hur hur, you''re overthinking it. The only one who will die is you."


    Facing the horrifying energy coming off from the two types of essence fires colliding, Ye Yuan was quite indifferent to the situation.


    To Ye Yuan, he could be killed by experts, but would not be burned to death by fire. Even if these two types of flames, one of them being Tier 4, and the other Quasi-Tier 4.


    The two types of flames interwove together, setting off a terrifying energy vortex, pulling firmly onto the two people.


    Black Crow Old Man fought desperately to try and break free of this binding force, but it was futile. Sensing the increasingly harrowing energy, Black Crow Old Man had a never before feeling of hopelessness.


    What was scary was not death, but the process of waiting for death!


    "Brat, you can still make it if you pull back now! The two of us will withdraw our essence fire at the same time! Then, the flame explosion won''t occur! Otherwise, jade and stone will be burned alike!" Black Crow Old Man was so anxious that he was covered with sweat.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Enjoy the might of the flame explosion properly. I won''t accompany you!"


    The flame explosion was already formed. Ye Yuan had no need to continue staying. Otherwise, he would really have to perish together with Black Crow Old Man.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, like fish shaking off the fetters of the flame explosion vortex, swimming towards outside the cave.


    Black Crow Old Man''s eyes nearly popped out when he saw this scene!


    Such a powerful binding force that even he, this Sea Transformation Realm could not break free of, just how did this brat accomplish it?


    However, he did not have the time to contemplate this now as the explosion was about to occur, and he was at the heart of the flame explosion. Once it blew up, he would die for sure!


    Black Crow Old Man tried various methods but was ultimately unable to shake off this powerful suction force. He also tried various means of trying to eliminate the flame explosion, but it was a wasted effort.


    Ye Yuan was currently swimming in the air like a fish and finally arrived at the cave entrance.


    The flame explosion''s shackling force was only up to here. Ye Yuan collapsed onto the ground weakly and was unable to move anymore.


    At the same time, Nanfeng Zhirou appeared out of thin air.


    "Ye Yuan! Are you alright?" Seeing Ye Yuan''s miserable state, Nanfeng Zhirou hurriedly rushed forward.


    Ye Yuan smiled tragically and said, "You look at my appearance, does this look fine? Enough nonsense, quickly leave this place. This place is about to blow up. I can''t move right now. Quickly bring me out of this place!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan''s eyes turned upwards, and he thoroughly fainted.


    In reality, since the beginning, Ye Yuan already detected the essence fire on Black Crow Old Man''s body. It was also then that Ye Yuan already had a strategy.


    Ye Yuan was very clear that with his realm, let alone killing Black Crow Old Man, he could not even achieve letting his attack touch him; even if he consumed the Tier 2 Five Elements Spirit Link Pill.


    And on Ye Yuan''s body, his greatest killing weapon was the newly refined Tier 4 essence fire, Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Only it could cause harm to Black Crow Old Man!


    Therefore, unless it reached the last moment, Ye Yuan absolutely could not show this trump card.


    However, Ye Yuan was very sensitive towards essence fires. He could faintly sense that there was an essence fire whose might was not weak inside Black Crow Old Man''s body.


    This, however, provided Ye Yuan with a new idea, and that was a flame explosion!


    Once the flame explosion could form, then it would not be a matter of hurting Black Crow Old Man anymore!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan consolidated at every step as he advanced, and slowly lured out Black Crow Old Man''s greatest trick: the Black Crow Yin Fire!


    Black Crow Old Man seemed to be incomparably powerful, but he fell into the trap Ye Yuan designed for him step by step.


    All the way to the end where Ye Yuan used avatar bodies to lure Black Crow Old Man, and he himself takes the opportunity to ambush. It was to create a false impression of having exhausted all his tricks for Black Crow Old Man.


    Very unfortunately, Black Crow Old Man fell for it . . .


    By the time he reacted to it, the flame explosion was already formed. Even if Black Crow Old Man wanted to run, he also could not escape!


    Nevertheless, Ye Yuan''s research regarding essence fires was simply unimaginable to the people of the Boundless World.


    In his previous life, he once owned nine types of essence fires. When he had nothing to do, he would place these essence fires together to play, so as to better understand the characteristics of essence fires.


    Ye Yuan had already long been bored with the flame explosion which Black Crow Old Man did not even dare to think about. How could it trap him?


    However, in order to execute the flame explosion, Ye Yuan also paid an extremely huge price.


    Even though he refined the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, his fleshy body, meridians, dantian, were only at the Spirit Condensation Realm standard. They simply could not withstand the Tier 4 essence fire.


    That was to say, although Ye Yuan refined a Tier 4 essence fire, he could only suppress the power of the essence fire released when refining pills and doing battle to Tier 2 standard.


    And just now, Ye Yuan brought out the entire might of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. One could imagine just how great the damage caused to his body was.


    If not for Ye Yuan''s control towards essence fires being already at the peak of perfection, he would have been burned by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame until not even residue would be left currently.


    Even so, his present state was an indescribable mess. He could only call out Nanfeng Zhirou to bring him to escape.


    Boom!


    An incomparably oppressive explosion sounded out. The entire underground cave started quaking.

 Chapter 179: Ye Hang Exits Seclusion!

    Chapter 179: Ye Hang Exits Seclusion!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The State of Qin''s capital.


    These few days had been relatively lively.


    No reason other than because the Drunken Star Manor had sent out invitations to organize a Pill Grading Assembly.


    For close to a month, the Drunken Star Manor could be said to be infinitely glorious and faintly had the manner of controlling the State of Qin''s alchemy industry,


    Ever since the Essence Gathering Pill was launched, the Drunken Star Manor had been as crowded as a marketplace. Every day, there would be large batches of martial artists gathering, just to beg to purchase the Essence Gathering Pill.


    And this time, Wan Donghai even unleashed a big move, organizing this Pill Grading Assembly, and inviting virtually all the upper echelons in the State of Qin.


    It was said that the Drunken Star Manor wanted to launch three new medicinal pills all at once at this Pill Grading Assembly. It would be a radical revolution to the State of Qin''s alchemy world!


    Such explosive news would naturally cause massive commotions in the State of Qin.


    Because of the Essence Gathering Pill as the precedent, the news released by Drunken Star Manor would naturally stir up all the martial artists'' appetite.


    An Essence Gathering Pill already changed the alchemy''s power balance in the State of Qin. If they launched three new types of medicinal pills at once, what kind of change would it trigger?


    Most likely, not as simple as bringing down Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    No matter what, not only did the Drunken Star Manor''s actions draw the attention of all the upper echelons in the State of Qin, it also aroused a huge focus from the commoner martial artists.


    Even though the Drunken Star Manor''s reputation among demonic beast hunters was already bad, there were still many people purchasing medicinal pills here.


    This was something that could not be helped. After all, Essence Qi Realm martial artists made up the largest group, and the Essence Gathering Pill was a unique medicinal pill from the Drunken Star Manor.


    These martial artists had no other choice!


    And starting from that time, the Drunken Star Manor had taken a series of measures to suppress the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Now, they already virtually monopolized the State of Qin''s medicinal pill market.


    Other than those deadly loyal like Shi Kaiyong, the vast majority of the people were either forced to or took the initiative to go to the Drunken Star Manor to buy medicinal pills.


    The situation for the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was already at the extent of a hair''s breadth from death.


    And currently, Ye Hang was still in closed-seclusion.


    . . . . . .


    At the Wan Family, a middle-aged man in fine clothing sat opposite Wan Donghai.


    Composure and overbearingness exuded from the middle-aged man. In terms of aura, he was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Wan Donghai!


    "Brother Yulin, this time, our Wan Family and Su Family joining hands; we must rule the State of Qin''s alchemy world!" Wan Donghai seemed to be extremely proud of his success at present.


    The middle-aged man in finery was precisely the Su Family''s Family Head, Su Yulin! An existence who could make the State of Qin quake just by stomping his feet!


    Su Yulin was not as delighted as Wan Donghai. He just said lightly, "Ruling the alchemy world is but the beginning. After Manor Lord Wan sits on the highest commanding seat in the State of Qin''s alchemy world, don''t forget about our agreement!"


    "What are you saying, Brother Yulin. Our two families have collaborated for so many years, don''t Brother Yulin understand my, Wan Donghai''s, character yet? The Nanfeng Family has grown weak and cannot carry the State of Qin anymore long ago. The Su Family replacing them is only the common will of the people. This Wan naturally will not go against heaven!"


    "Haha, then that''s good! This Su will wish Manor Lord Wan in advance for fulfilling a long-cherished wish and thoroughly defeating the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!"


    "Haha, isn''t that all thanks to Brother Yulin? If not for the new medicinal pill Brother Yulin provided, this Wan also won''t have today! Rest assure, Brother Yulin. In future, when Brother Yulin replaces Nanfeng Yi, this Wan will be the Imperial Family''s Royal Alchemist!"


    "En, Manor Lord Wan has the heart. It''s just that I''m still somewhat worried at the moment. The news about the Pill Grading Assembly has already been released for such a long time, but there''s no movement from Nanfeng Yi at all. Could it be that he''s planning something?"


    "Brother Yulin is thinking too much! The talents in the Imperial Family have withered. What other capable person is there apart from the old undying, Nanfeng Lou? Oh, right, I still haven''t congratulated Brother Yulin for the breakthrough to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm! Now, other than Wu Daofeng and Jiang Yunhe these two neutral parties, who is a match for Brother Yulin in the entire State of Qin? Isn''t Brother Yuling being able to break through at this time proving who the mandate of heaven should belong to from another perspective?"


    "Haha, perhaps I''m really overthinking things. But it''s just these few days, the envoy from the high sect is already set to arrive at the Dan Wu Academy. With the support of the envoy, the transition of authority should also be smoother."


    But Wan Donghai''s face changed when he heard that and sensibly did not continue the conversation.


    So, it turned out that the Su Family had such a deep background in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. No wonder they dared to do such a heaven-defying thing. Su Yulin revealing this matter to him was also giving him a disguised warning, to make him not have overly inordinate ambitions.


    "Ha-Haha, looks like Brother Yulin is really fully prepared! Oh yes, I heard that Ye Hang''s son participated in the Endless Trials and has not returned this whole time. He probably already died in the Endless Forest, right? Now, Ye Hang even lost his son. Most likely, he will be in a thundering rage after exiting seclusion." Wan Donghai changed the topic very sensibly.


    Who would know that it was still okay if Wan Donghai did not mention it, but once it was mentioned, Su Yulin''s face changed.


    The one who was missing was not just Ye Hang''s son. His son also went missing too! No matter how Su Yulin ruminated, he could not understand. He sent the Chang brothers to assist his son. Why wasn''t there any news up till now?"


    Could it be that after they killed Ye Yuan, they encountered some other matter and was delayed?


    "Humph! The Pill Grading Assembly is coming soon, Manor Lord Wan shouldn''t bother about these minor details and focus on the bigger things! This Su still has some matters to attend to, so I''ll leave first!" Su Yulin said unhappily.


    Wan Donghai felt rather bewildered and did not know where he had offended Su Yulin.


    . . . . . .


    A martial artist with a manservant appearance walked loftily into the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. The manager Feng San dozed off listlessly and did not see anyone enter from the start.


    "Is there still anyone alive? Someone come out!" the manservant called out very haughtily.


    Feng San was startled awake. When he saw the manservant''s outfit, he could not help being enraged. "This punk from God knows where dares to be so ill-mannered here! Do you know what this place is?!"


    The manservant gave a side glance at Feng San and said smugly, "This Little Lord naturally knows what this place is. Just a broken store that''s about to close down. Feng San, this Little Lord sees that you have some capabilities. How about coming to the Drunken Star Manor and make a living with this little lord!"


    Feng San was enraged when he heard that and said, "An errand boy servant actually dares to make me, Feng San, mix around with you?! Why don''t you take a piss and check out your reflection? Who do you think you are?!"


    "Heh heh, don''t be angry, Manager Feng. It''s true that I''m an errand boy, but I''m afraid that Manager Feng''s current situation is worse than running errands, right? Me letting you mix around with me is giving you a chance! If not, when the Pill Grading Assembly commences, I''m afraid that it wouldn''t be so easy for Manager Feng to find a job then."


    Feng San reached out and pointed his finger at the door and said furiously, "Get out for your father! If you don''t get lost, your father will throw you out of here! Even if I, Feng San, were to starve to death, I wouldn''t go to the Drunken Star Manor to lick boots!"


    The manservant took out an invitation card unhurriedly and waved it around in front of Feng San, saying, "See this? My family''s Manor Lord specially issued an invitation to your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in consideration of former relations. If Manager Feng continues to chase me out, that would be breaking off from the State of Qin''s alchemy world!"


    Feng San was unable to hold back his wrath anymore. This punk was here to deliver the invitation to humiliate the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was already like this. Why would they attend some Pill Grading Assembly? To reach their faces out for people to smack?


    "Bring your lousy invitation along and scram for your father! Otherwise, I''m really going to take action!" as he said this, Feng San pulled up his sleeves and was really about to beat people up.


    Just then, a deep voice sounded out. "Stop, Feng San! This invitation card, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion accepts! You, go back and tell Wan Donghai that the Pill Grading Assembly, I, Ye Hang, will definitely be there!"

    "Owner! You finally left seclusion!"


    Feng San who was raging turned around and saw Ye Hang. He immediately rejoiced.


    Nobody could have understood just how Feng San had survived over this one month period!


    But when he saw Ye Hang exit seclusion, everything was worth it!


    "Tch, isn''t it just leaving seclusion? What''s the fuss about? At this time, what the use even if you exit seclusion?"


    Seeing Ye Hang, the manservant was also very shocked. But he quickly puffed up his chest again.


    Our Drunken Star Manor is the strongest now!


    Even if Ye Hang exited seclusion, could he stem the raging tide?


    Impossible!


    "You dare to disrespect Owner? Courting death!" Feng San was enraged when he heard that and wanted to slap that manservant to death in one palm.


    "Forget it. Just a small fry. Let him go," Ye hang said coolly.


    With his status, there was no need to square every detail with a small fry.


    "Haha, Pavilion Lord Ye is indeed a person who knows the grand situation! I think that as long as Pavilion Lord Ye pledges allegiance to our Manor Lord at the Pill Grading Assembly, he should forgive you magnanimously! Oh, I''ve already delivered the invitation. Goodbye, Pavilion Lord Ye!"


    The manservant really took himself for some big shot and clasped his hands at Ye Hang, then took large strides and left.


    Feng San was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth in hatred by the side. With a displeased face, he said, "Owner, even a servant from the Drunken Star Manor dares to come to taunt us Fragrant Medicine Pavilion now! In my opinion, kill this punk first to teach the Drunken Star Manor a lesson!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "This servant is just a small character. Wouldn''t killing him show our incompetence even more? That we can only take our anger out on the Drunken Star Manor''s servants? To find a ground, of course we have to find their family''s adults!"


    Feng San''s eyebrows jumped as he understood some meaning behind it. He said joyfully, "Owner means that . . ."


    Ye Hang took over the invitation and said playfully, "He, Wan Donghai, wants to use this Pill Grading Assembly to rule the State of Qin''s alchemy world. I''m afraid that it''s isn''t so easy!"


    "Haha . . . I knew that the owner wouldn''t admit defeat so easily!" Feng San was ecstatic when he saw that. But he immediately frowned again, saying, "Owner, it''s said that Wan Donghai wants to launch three new types of medicinal pills by organizing this Pill Grading Assembly! Just an Essence Gathering Pill has already left us badly battered. If three more were to appear, we . . ."


    "Relax, Old Feng! Competing with medicinal pills, I . . . Errr . . . Should be us, father and son, have never feared anyone! This time, we''re going to let everyone broaden their horizons!" Ye Hang said heroically.


    Feng San looked at Ye Hang, and his eyes could not help showing astonishment.


    Just now, Ye Hang clearly planned on saying himself, but when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he brought along Ye Yuan!


    A venerable Alchemy Grandmaster was actually deliberately bringing along his son. Why was that?


    . . . . . .


    In a courtyard within the imperial palace, Ye Yuan was currently lying on a vine chair, sitting with his ankle on his knees. There were even two beautiful palace maids fanning him from behind. He looked like he was enjoying himself very much.


    "Ye Yuan! Is your Beauty Retaining Pill finished refining yet? If it''s not done, this princess will burn down this mansion and send you to heaven!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou''s angry cry broke this courtyard''s tranquility.


    Ye Yuan jumped in fright and hurriedly went out in big strides. Indeed, he saw Nanfeng Zhirou carrying a fire torch in her hands posing like she was lighting a fire. Nanfeng Ruoqing was covering her mouth while laughing behind Nanfeng Zhirou.


    This woman would do what she said. A single mishap and she would really burn this place.


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t! My grandaunt, this is your family''s house, what are you burning it for?"


    "I don''t care! Today, if you don''t refine the Beauty Retaining Pill for me, I''ll burn this place!"


    "Seriously, can''t you wait for two days? My injuries have just healed. I also just refined the Essence Yang Pill two days ago and sapped a great deal of my vitality. You at least got to give me time to rest, right? Otherwise, if I were to ruin the refinement of the Beauty Retaining Pill, wouldn''t that destroy Senior Apprentice Sister''s unparalleled looks?"


    After coming out from the underground cave, Ye Yuan let Nanfeng Zhirou bring him to hide in the palace. Just like this, Su Yishan and Ye Yuan disappeared at the same time.


    Ye Yuan had ready-made medicinal pills on him, but his injuries this time were too severe. He only barely managed to recover after recuperating for three days.


    After recovering, Ye Yuan refined the Essence Yang Pill without delay and let Nanfeng Zhirou deliver it to the Dan Wu Academy in secret.


    Ever since Ye Yuan recovered, Nanfeng Zhirou had been thinking about her Beauty Retaining Pills. She would come here every day to compel Ye Yuan to refine it.


    But Ye Yuan''s body right now was indeed not that great. So it was delayed a few days.


    The ill-tempered but beauty loving Nanfeng Zhirou finally could not endure it anymore today, so she ran here to threaten Ye Yuan!


    "I don''t care! I must see the Beauty Retaining Pill today!" Nanfeng Zhirou refused to yield.


    Right at this time, a voice sounded out from behind them. "Zhirou, back off! Don''t be mischievous!"


    "Ah, Imperial Father! I . . . I was joking with Ye Yuan! Right, Ye Yuan?" Nanfeng Zhirou used her gaze to threaten Ye Yuan.


    The middle-aged man in front of Ye Yuan was as handsome as jade and had a grandiose manner. The air of a king could not be covered up no matter what!


    This person was precisely Nanfeng Ruoqing''s Imperial Brother, Nanfeng Zhirou''s father, the State of Qin''s Emperor, Nanfeng Yi!


    This was also the first time Ye Yuan met Nanfeng Yi. This person gave him the deep feeling like he was in grasp of everything.


    Nanfeng Yi was sizing up Ye Yuan, but at the same time, Ye Yuan was also appraising Nanfeng Yi without the intention of saluting.


    An Alchemy Emperor had the pride of an Alchemy Emperor. Even if he rebirthed, it was also impossible to kneel down and salute a mortal emperor.


    Nanfeng Yi did not mind Nanfeng Zhirou and only said coolly, "Ruoqing, you bring Zhirou back first. I have some things to say to Little Brother Ye."


    Nanfeng Yi actually gave tacit consent to Ye Yuan''s rude actions!


    "Yes." Nanfeng Ruoqing received the command and brought her niece back. The few palace maids naturally also withdrew.


    However, while Nanfeng Ruoqing did not show anything on the surface, she was very alarmed in her heart.


    Imperial Brother actually called Ye Yuan as Little Brother!


    This sort of address was undoubtedly placing Ye Yuan on equal footing as him!


    In Nanfeng Ruoqing''s impression, she had never seen Imperial Brother place a person so highly before. And this person was merely a 15 years old child!


    For the emperor to address his subjects as brothers, just hearing it sounded very peculiar!


    While Nanfeng Ruoqing knew that Ye Yuan was not an ordinary child, this term of address by Nanfeng Yi was still sufficient to alarm her.


    After Nanfeng Ruoqing and the rest left, Nanfeng Yi and Ye Yuan entered the courtyard and sat down in the pavilion in the garden.


    "I''m indebted to Little Brother Ye for having taken care of my daughter and sister these few days. I express my thanks to Little Brother Ye on their behalf." Nanfeng Yi actually gave thanks right away, making Ye Yuan somewhat surprised.


    "Your Majesty is too serious. It''s just the effort of lifting a hand, not worthy of thanks. Furthermore, they also helped me quite a bit." Ye Yuan accepted it calmly and did not decline anything.


    From the other party''s attitude, he could also see that his matter was already also long known by Nanfeng Yi through Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece.


    Nanfeng Yi waved his hand and said, "That''s not the same. The aid you gave them is enough for them to use their entire lives!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "I''m afraid that Your Majesty didn''t look for me just to give thanks, right? Let''s go straight into the main topic. I don''t like to beat around the bush."

 Chapter 181: The Teetering Imperial Family

    Chapter 181: The Teetering Imperial Family


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Nanfeng Yi was stunned when he heard that. He did not think that this youth actually did not save the lightest bit of face for him.


    Not mentioning about his identity as the emperor, just the fact that he was a Crystal Formation Realm expert, most likely not many Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists dared to be this impudent.


    However, he also knew the pride of peerless geniuses like Ye Yuan.


    The peerless geniuses who could make it past the Nine Heavens Road would undoubtedly be existences that would break out from the State of Qin! Therefore, Ye Yuan had the capital to be proud.


    Nanfeng Yi naturally did not know that Ye Yuan was emboldened to talk to him on an equal basis because he possessed a Tier 3 demonic beast as a servant!


    Nanfeng Zhirou did not tell Nanfeng Yi about the matter of Yuan Fei, because she promised Ye Yuan that she would tell no one.


    After returning, Nanfeng Zhirou even hid it from Nanfeng Yi.


    "Cough, cough."


    Nanfeng Yi coughed to hide his embarrassment before saying, "I wonder, what''s Little Brother Ye''s view of the Drunken Star Manor''s Pill Grading Assembly?"


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said disdainfully, "Just a bunch of performing clowns. What Pill Grading Assembly? With Wan Donghai''s paltry abilities, what does he know about grading pills! If my guess isn''t wrong, this matter was cooked up by the Su Family. Wan Donghai is merely the puppet pushed onto the front stage by them."


    Nanfeng Yi was astounded as he said, "To think that Little Brother Ye can actually see it so thoroughly! To our understanding, the Drunken Star Manor''s Essence Gathering Pill originated from the high sect''s Pill Hall! And this time, they even acquired the new types of medicinal pills from the Pill Hall to beguile the minds of people. Such intentions are condemnable!"


    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to be stunned. "Oh? Came from Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Pill Hall? Looks like this Pill Hall has some capabilities, to have actually developed so many new medicinal pills."


    Ye Yuan''s research into medicinal pills was incomparable to anyone else''s. He was very much aware of just how difficult it was to develop new medicinal pills.


    With the Boundless World''s medicinal pills cognition, for the Pill Hall to have actually developed so many new medicinal pills was adequate to see the power of the Pill Hall''s might.


    Although these new medicinal pills were worthless in Ye Yuan''s eyes, in other people''s eyes, they were immense breakthroughs.


    "That''s a given. Ever since the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s founder, You Wuya ascended, they had been through a period of degradation. All the way until the 11th generation Sect Master, Ouyang Tuotian came into the world and led the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s revival with his own strength! But Ouyang Tuotian was not known for his martial prowess. He was an Alchemy Sovereign of his generation! During the period he took over as Sect Master, he used medicinal pills to create countless experts! It was also then that Tranquil Cloud Sect finally formed the scenario where the Martial Hall and the Pill Hall pitted against each other," Nanfeng Yi explained.


    Ye Yuan gave a look of realization. Only now did he know the origin of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Martial Hall and Pill Hall.


    "Like this huh! Looks like Your Majesty came to look for me because you feel the pressure. If you had known beforehand, you should have acted differently then. If you had eradicated the Su Family earlier, there wouldn''t be so many problems." Ye Yuan also roughly guessed Nanfeng Yi''s purpose in coming.


    Now, the only one who could contend with the Drunken Star Manor was the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Nanfeng Yi came to look for Ye Yuan naturally because he wanted to let the Ye Family coordinate with the Nanfeng Family to wreck the Pill Grading Assembly this time.


    Nanfeng Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You think I didn''t want to? Do you know why the Su Family can get so many medicinal pills from the Pill Hall?"


    "En? Could it be that there are people on top of the Su Family?"


    Nanfeng Yi nodded and said, "Su Yulin''s younger sister married a Pill Hall''s elder, Ouyang Ming, twenty years ago. Even though the high sect has rules that members of the sect are not to interfere with secular affairs, it''s still an easy matter for the Ouyang Family to help out the Su Family occasionally. Otherwise, how do you think Su Yubai became the Dan Wu Academy''s Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder? If not for the fact that his strength is insufficient, the position of Dean would probably have been taken by the Su Family long ago!"


    Ye Yuan finally realized that there was actually so many things interlaced in between. No wonder Su Yubai could cover the skies with one hand inside the academy and nobody dared to make a sound!


    The Su Family had people in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, that was why Nanfeng Yi held back in fear these few years and did not dare to attack the Su Family, resulting in rearing a tiger to one''s own detriment!


    Also, no wonder the Nanfeng Family''s people were so low-key, and it also explained why the Imperial Family would support Ye Hang to contend with Wan Donghai. There was actually so much karma mixed inside.


    From this, it seemed that Father''s and Wan Donghai''s antagonism was actually essentially the Imperial Family and Su Family challenging in the dark!


    Looking at this, everything could be explained.


    However, from the former situation, regardless of whether it was the Imperial Family or the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, they both held the clear disadvantage!


    This time, the Su Family got so many new medicinal pills from the Pill Hall and also stirred up the entire city by organizing a Pill Grading Assembly. Most likely, it was already time for the map to be unrolled to reveal the dagger.


    And because of this, Nanfeng Yi finally could not sit still.


    "Then . . . Your Majesty is looking for me for?" Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.


    "The Su Family''s and the Wan Family''s activities are already so rampant. I''ve secretly arranged for people to pay a few visits to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, but your honorable father has always been in closed-seclusion. I''m afraid . . ."


    So, Nanfeng Yi was worried the Ye Hang was avoiding the fight. In that case, the Nanfeng Family would have no path of retreat at all.


    Even if it was a passing thought, Ye Yuan was still rather displeased. No matter who it was, nobody wished for their own father to be used as a chess piece.


    Now, in this sort of situation, if Ye Hang really failed, he would likely be the first target the Su Family and the Wan Family want to eliminate. At that time, whether the Imperial Family would lend a helping hand or not was another matter altogether!"


    "Your Majesty wishes to let my father lead the vanguard. I wonder what kind of methods the Imperial Family have prepared? If the Su Family is really overthrowing, what does Your Majesty plan to do?" Ye Yuan''s tone gradually grew colder.


    Even though Nanfeng Yi was Nanfeng Zhirou''s father and Nanfeng Ruoqing''s older brother, his relation to Ye Yuan was zilch.


    If the Imperial Family were destroyed, Ye Yuan would not mind rescuing Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece, but to make him slog it out for the Imperial Family based on this was a no-no.


    Not to mention that Nanfeng Yi was still scheming against Father at this time.


    "This . . ."


    "Your Majesty calls me ''Little Brother Ye'' simply because you took a fancy to my future status. But have Your Majesty ever thought that if the Imperial Family no longer existed, what''s the point of you making friends with me, this future Core Disciple?" Ye Yuan ridiculed mercilessly.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re insolent!" Nanfeng Yi finally could not hold back his rage.


    Ye Yuan was actually cursing the Imperial Family to be destroyed. This was something intolerable to him!


    "Hur hur, insolent? No matter how insolent I am, can I be more insolent than the Su Family? Actually, Your Majesty knows clearly in your heard that the Imperial Family has reached an extremely precarious situation now. Even if I''m not insolent, can Your Majesty alter the outcome? Now that it''s already like this, why is Your Majesty acting like you have a concrete plan? Could it be that Your Majesty is relying on sending my father to go and die? Does Your Majesty think that by sending my father out, it can eliminate the Su Family''s ambition?" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.


    An extremely terrifying aura was released. It was the powerful aura belonging to a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    But Ye Yuan did not budge an inch when facing this aura.


    "Hur hur, I advise the Imperial Family to cool down! At this time, offending your only ally is not a wise move!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Nanfeng Yi''s expression changed, and he immediately put away his aura.

 Chapter 182: Gifting Pill

    Chapter 182: Gifting Pill


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "You aren''t thinking that the Wan Family and the Su Family will let your Ye Family off, right? This Pill Grading Assembly is pointing straight at the Imperial Family in the dark, but on the surface, it''s pointing towards the Ye Family!"


    After staying silent for a long time, Nanfeng Yi finally said this.


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Don''t be mistaken, Your Majesty! Now that it''s arrived at this, everyone in the State of Qin can choose to surrender. Only the Imperial Family cannot! For Your Majesty to threaten me with such words, are you too powerless?"


    Ye Yuan finished talking, and Nanfeng Yi''s face changed once again.


    He initially thought that Ye Yuan was young and slightly easier to deal with. Who would have thought that Ye Yuan saw things more clearly than anyone else!


    Although Nanfeng Yi had paid close attention to Ye Yuan for a long time, this was still the first time he came into contact with him in the true sense.


    All the prior senses were obtained through Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece.


    Now, Nanfeng Yi felt that this Ye Yuan was even harder to deal with that his father, Ye Hang!


    Nanfeng Yi took in a deep breath before saying, "Ye Yuan, I wonder when is your father coming out of seclusion. If he still doesn''t exit seclusion, even if the Ye Family wants to surrender, it''s also futile, correct?"


    But Ye Yuan just smiled when he heard that and said, "Your Majesty, since my father is in seclusion, I naturally have the final say in all of Ye Family''s matters! Since Your Majesty came to seek me out, you''re probably also eyeing this point, right?"


    Nanfeng Yi revealed an embarrassed look, but Ye Yuan had poked his vital point.


    He was really quite anxious. Ye Hang did not exit seclusion for a long time. The Imperial Family no longer had any buffer space. He only came to find Ye Yuan having no other alternatives, hoping to get Ye Hang to exit seclusion through Ye Yuan to resolve the immediate predicament.


    But who would have thought that Ye Yuan was much harder to deal with than he imagined!


    Nanfeng Yi sucked in a deep breath. This time, he finally truly placed Ye Yuan on equal footing as him to converse.


    "Speak then! What request does the Ye Family have?" Nanfeng Yi said in solemnly.


    "Haha, Your Majesty finally brought out some sincerity. However, my Ye Family does not have any request. Instead, we can gift the Nanfeng Family centuries of prosperity! My only demand is that within these few centuries, the Nanfeng Family is not to have the slightest bit of jealousy towards the Ye Family, and to let the Ye Family stand independently from the State of Qin''s regime!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "What did you say?!" Nanfeng Yi did not even think that Ye Yuan would actually raise such a request.


    But Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I, Ye Yuan, will be serving as this chess piece! The Pill Grading Assembly is nothing but seeking popularity through hogwash to me! Not only can I cooperate with the Imperial Family to wreck the Pill Grading Assembly, but I can also coordinate with the Imperial Family to eradicate the Wan Family and the Su Family! It''s just that I don''t know if Your Majesty has such resolve!"


    Nanfeng Yi sucked in a cold breath. Eradicating the Wan Family and the Su Family; not that he had never thought about it, but he had never dared to have such a notion.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Ouyang Family was not a family clan that the Nanfeng Family could afford to offend. Nanfeng Yi did not dare take this risk.


    But now, Ye Yuan directly said to destroy the Su Family!


    "This . . . Why not wait for your father to exit seclusion before discussing again?"


    Ye Yuan curled his lips. He was very disdainful towards Nanfeng Yi''s resolve. As the Emperor, how could he be so soft and irresolute?


    It was true that the Su Family had a strong supporter, but if the Nanfeng Family kept giving in, it would ultimately only make the Su Family insatiable.


    Nanfeng Yi was still not clear on this point until now!


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said indifferently, "Looks like Your Majesty still has an inadequate understanding of me, Ye Yuan. I advise Your Majesty to chat more with Teacher Nanfeng as well as Senior Apprentice Sister before making this decision. I can only give Your Majesty these words: indecisiveness invariably leads to trouble!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan spoke no more. This conversation naturally also ended like that.


    . . . . . .


    The next day, Ye Yuan returned to the Dan Wu Academy. It caused a tremendous sensation in the academy!


    "Hey, did you hear? Ye Yuan and Senior Apprentice Sister Feng disappeared for nearly a month in the Endless Trials. Now, they actually returned!"


    "Yeah. I even thought that they died in the Endless Forest. Who knew that they actually came out!"


    "Hey hey, Ye Yuan this person is bequeathed with destiny. I''m afraid that he won''t die so easily! It''s just . . . Ye Yuan came back, but Su Yishan still hasn''t returned!"


    "Uh . . . Is there some connection in between?"


    "Are you retarded? Isn''t it obvious? In the Endless Trials this time, the heavyweight class characters who went missing, other than Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou, is only Su Yishan! And now, only Ye Yuan and Senior Apprentice Sister Feng returned. Most likely . . ."


    "You''re saying . . ."


    "Shh . . ."


    Originally, coming back from the Endless Trials was no big deal. But the time which Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou went missing for way too long, way past the time set by the academy.


    And the Martial Roll expert Su Yishan disappeared at the same time. There was massive abnormality revealed in between.


    Now, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou came back at the same time. Only Su Yishan had yet to return. There were already many people who guessed what happened during this one month.


    After all, there had been quite a few cases like this in the past. Students who had conflicts went to participate in the Endless Trials, but only one party returned in the end.


    The other party remained in the Endless Forest forever.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered with these rumors. Right now, he was paying a visit to Huyan Yong.


    "Haha, Ye Yuan! I knew that you won''t die so easily!" Huyan Yong could not help laughing loudly when he saw Ye Yuan.


    "Many thanks for Teacher Huyan''s concern! Actually, this trip was really almost certain death. But luckily, there were more scares than dangers in the end. There were even some small gains," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "En, not bad, not bad! Having gone to the Endless Forest once and actually directly breaking through to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Really did not disappoint me!" Huyan Yong praised verbally, but waves were surging in his heart.


    Even though Huyan Yong viewed Ye Yuan very highly, his improvement speed was too rapid!


    This had only been a few days and Ye Yuan actually directly broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Since when had Spirit Condensation Realm become so easy to breakthrough?


    "Haha, I wonder how long Teacher Huyan has been stagnated at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    "What are you asking that for? Uh, let me see, roughly five or six years already. I keep being unable to find the opportunity to break through!"


    Speaking of this, Huyan Yong also had a dispirited look.


    This threshold from the Spirit Condensation Realm to the Crystal Formation Realm was not so easy to break through. Many Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were unable to cross this threshold in their entire lives.


    Huyan Yong''s talent was not bad; he was a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist who condensed four spirit liquid drops. But to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm, it was simply an impossible matter without ten plus, twenty years of accumulation!


    "Like that huh. I wonder how many percent confidence Teacher Huyan has in breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm right now?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Huyan Yong was even more surprised. But he still answered. "Are you joking, Ye Yuan? I haven''t even reached half-step Crystal Formation Realm right now. To breakthrough to Crystal Formation Realm, I don''t even have 10% confidence!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring for Huyan Yong, saying, "Teacher Huyan, this is the Crystal Formation Pill I refined. It can raise the chances of forming crystal by 60%. I wonder if Teacher Huyan has the confidence to break through to Crystal Formation Realm?"


    "What? 60%?! You . . . Are you joking?" Huyan Yong nearly jumped up.

 Chapter 183: Even If I’m the One Who Killed, so What?

    Chapter 183: Even If I��m the One Who Killed, so What?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A 60% chance to break through!


    Huyan Yong looked at Ye Yuan as his mind completely blanked out.


    Happiness came too suddenly!


    Huyan Yong had never doubted whether or not he could break through to the Crystal Formation Realm. But that was something at least twenty years later!


    But now, Ye Yuan actually brought him such an enormous surprise. Huyan Yong really did not dare to quite believe it.


    Just how heaven-defying was a medicinal pill which could raise the chances of breaking through to Crystal Formation Realm by 60%?!


    "Initially, I thought that I would need some time before I can gather these Crystal Formation Pill ingredients. I didn''t think that I actually unintentionally acquired the main ingredients needed to refine it during this trip into the Endless Forest, so I just went ahead and refined it. Teacher Huyan is my savior. How could I dare to joke to Teacher Huyan like this?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "But . . . this medicinal pill is a Tier 2 medicinal pill; even high-rank Alchemy Masters can''t refine it so easily, right? Could it be that you already have the strength that surpasses high-rank Alchemy Master?" Huyan Yong suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.


    This was actually Huyan Yong overthinking it. It was essentially something impossible for high-rank Alchemy Masters to want to refine the Crystal Formation Pill!


    Forget about high-rank Alchemy Masters, it would be impossible to refine the Crystal Formation Pill even for high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters!


    The complexity of the Crystal Formation Pill''s refinement was simply beyond the comprehension of the State of Qin''s Alchemy Grandmasters. Even if Ye Yuan paired the ingredients for them to refine, they also could not refine it.


    "Around there. Tier 2 medicinal pills already pose no difficulty to me," Ye Yuan said. He was not bragging but merely stating a fact.


    Ye Yuan''s soul strength had already reached the degree of a middle-rank Alchemy Master. Coupled with the level of refining method like the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique, refining Tier 2 medicinal pills really was not an issue to him.


    Huyan Yong''s mouth twitched uncontrollably.


    This brat is really a wondrous freak!


    Just at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and he actually said that Tier 2 medicinal pills had no difficulty. I wonder what the Dean will feel when he hears this.


    Huyan Yong gently caressed the medicinal bottle Ye Yuan gave him and fell silent.


    But from his lightly trembling body, it could be seen just how agitated he was inside!


    Ye Yuan also did not urge him. He just waited for Huyan Yong to calm down quietly. He also knew just how great the impact the Crystal Formation Pill had towards Huyan Yong.


    After a long time, Huyan Yong took a deep breath, then gave the medicinal bottle back to Ye Yuan, saying, "Ye Yuan, you''d better take this medicinal pill back!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly stupefied and was somewhat confused. "Could it be that Teacher Huyan Yong doesn''t trust Ye Yuan?"


    Huyan Yong shook his hand and said, "How can Teacher not trust you? It''s just that this medicinal pill is invaluable. I can''t accept it. I think that judging from your improvement speed, breaking through to peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is only a matter of within a year? You''d better save this medicinal pill for your own use! You need it more than me!"


    Ye Yuan did not expect Huyan Yong to actually say something like this. He felt deeply touched in his heart.


    To the Divine Realm''s martial artists, Crystal Formation Realm might not be considered much. But Ye Yuan had stayed in the State of Qin for such a long time. He could fully understand just what the Crystal Formation Realm meant to the Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!


    But Huyan Yong was actually willing to give up the chance to become a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist for him!


    Just how much resolution was needed to be able to shake off the temptation of advancing to Crystal Formation Realm?!


    Ye Yuan pushed the bottle to Huyan Yong again, saying with a smile, "Teacher Huyan is worrying too much. This Crystal Formation Pill isn''t as precious as you imagine. I have as many as I want."


    "Have as many as you want? Ye Yuan, you aren''t deliberately saying it just to make me accept this medicinal pill, right?" Huyan Yong said disbelievingly.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and took out another two medicinal bottles. The medicinal pills inside the bottles were shockingly all Crystal Formation Pills, stunning Huyan Yong until he was left with his mouth agape again.


    Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill could be mass produced?


    This brat''s methods was truly inconceivable!


    "Alright then, since that''s the case, I''ll accept it. However, this Crystal Formation Pill is overly monstrous. You have to secure this secret well and take care not to let others know!"


    Huyan Yong was not a pretentious person. Ye Yuan already said it till this way, he naturally would not refuse it anymore. Instead, he gave a reminder to Ye Yuan.


    "Of course."


    Huyan Yong kept away the Crystal Formation Pill gingerly before saying to Ye Yuan, "Since you''ve already returned, then Su Yishan?"


    "Dead," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Huyan Yong was not too surprised. But he could guess that Ye Yuan''s trip to the Endless Forest was not that peaceful.


    "As long as you''re fine, don''t mind anything else. Lord Dean already came back. You follow me to meet him. He regards you very highly," Huyan Yong said.


    "En, I should."


    Ye Yuan did not refuse. After all, Huyan Yong protecting him was still the command issued by the Dean. It was proper and reasonable that he should pay a visit.


    The two had just stepped out when they saw Su Yubai coming towards them with a tumultuous aura.


    "Ye Yuan! What did you do to Yishan?! I''m warning you. If anything happens to Yishan, you and the Ye Family will join him!" Su Yubai bellowed angrily.


    Ye Yuan looked at Su Yubai like staring at an idiot, saying coolly, "I say, First Elder Su, is there something wrong with your brain? You lost your nephew, but you don''t go to the Endless Forest to look for him. What did you come running to me to make a fuss about?"


    Su Yubai pointed at Ye Yuan''s nose and roared in anger, "Ye Yuan! Don''t fake an innocent face for this old man! The Endless Trials this time, you, Feng Zhirou, and Yishan took so long to return. You dare say that Yishan''s disappearance had nothing to do with you?!"


    Ye Yuan shot a glance at Huyan Yong and asked with a bewildered face, "Did Elder Su suffer some sort of stimulus recently? Why does it look like your brain isn''t working too well?"


    "His brain had never been working very well." Huyan Yong supplemented another knife quite irresponsibly, singing in chorus with Ye Yuan.


    "In that case, can''t blame him. Elder Su, do you have a misunderstanding? It seems like there isn''t only the three of us who delayed our return in the Endless Trials, right? According to what I know, there''s twenty over students who didn''t come back this Endless Trials, yet, you just had to group the three of us together. How sinister! I know that Elder Su does not have a good impression of me, but you can''t fabricate a charge against me like this!" Ye Yuan said innocently.


    Seeing Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong chiming together, Su Yubai was even more infuriated!


    Although Su Yishan was Su Yulin''s son, he was raised up all alone by Su Yubai.


    Not father and son, but as dear as father and son!


    Otherwise, he would not have immediately came forward right after hearing that Ye Yuan came back.


    But now, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both returned, and yet, Su Yishan still did not come back. Most likely, he was a goner!


    After all, Su Yishan went to kill Ye Yuan. Su Yishan did not believe that they did not meet in the Endless Forest!


    "Stop pretending to be innocent! In this batch of students, only you have a grudge with Yishan! If any accident befalls Yishan, you can''t escape responsibilities!"


    "Oh? Is that so? The Endless Forest is riddled with danger, so why can''t Su Yishan have been killed by demonic beasts? Elder Su, this hole in your brain is really quite wide! But then again, even if I''m the one who killed, so what? Elder Su has no proof. You wouldn''t just determine my crime with nothing but words, right? Uh . . . I almost forget. I''m the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Core Disciple now, so Elder Su can''t convict me!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

    Chapter 184: Envoy


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Hahaha, you finally admitted it! Ye Yuan, you really think that I don''t dare to kill you?" Su Yubai was so infuriated that he laughed.


    "Heh heh, you also can''t run if you kill me, yeah? When the Tranquil Cloud Sect finds you, it isn''t something to joke about. Why don''t you reconsider?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    "Blame? You''re overthinking it! Go to hell!"


    Su Yubai was still talking when he suddenly exploded, thrusting a palm at Ye Yuan!


    Heaven Flipping Palm!


    The same move had a world of difference between Su Yishan and Su Yubai who executed it!


    But this palm struck thin air.


    Su Yubai only felt his vision blur, and nine Ye Yuans actually appeared at the same time! And he could not even distinguish which one was Ye Yuan''s true body!


    Following that, Su Yubai just passed through a phantom just like this. When he turned back, Ye Yuan remained standing where he was as if he never moved.


    Su Yubai and Huyan Yong''s face revealed astonishment at the same time. Since when had Ye Yuan learned such a powerful but peculiar movement technique?


    Huyan Yong did not think that Su Yubai would really dare to make a move in the academy. In a moment of carelessness, it was already too late to defend.


    But he could not have imagined that Ye Yuan could actually avoid Su Yubai''s attack so easily!


    "You actually broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!" Su Yubai said with disbelief.


    It had not even been a month since Ye Yuan stepped into the Endless Forest, and he actually directly broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    This speed . . .


    "Haha, thanks to Elder Su''s blessings, I broke through by a fluke."


    Su Yubai''s face darkened. This Ye Yuan''s mouth really needed a beating! Whose blessing was not good that he had to have Su Yubai''s blessings?


    Wasn''t this sickening people?


    "Oh yeah. Does Elder Su still remember what I said before? I wasn''t joking with you! Perhaps, I don''t need a year!" Ye Yuan said while smiling.


    Su Yubai''s face changed when he heard that. With Ye Yuan''s advancement speed, perhaps he really did not need a year!


    Although that sentence from Ye Yuan made him into a joke in the Dan Wu Academy for a time, he had never taken it seriously.


    But now, he suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan really did not seem to be kidding. He truly had this capability!


    "Humph! Then you also have to survive a year first! Ye Hang''s about to collapse right now. Do you feel you still have the chance?" Su Yubai said with a cold sneer.


    "Is that so? I feel that Elder Su had better flaunt about it in front of me after my father falls from power. Otherwise, you will have your face smacked by me again. Although your face has already been smacked rotten by me, I don''t mind hitting it again to tear it down some more," Ye Yuan said calmly.


    "You!" Su Yubai nearly choked to death.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Su Yubai. He turned around and left with Huyan Yong. Watching Ye Yuan''s back view, Su Yubai''s eyes were about to spit fire.


    But Ye Yuan had already grown to such an extent, and he even had a Huyan Yong by his side. He simply could not make Ye Yuan stay!


    Even though the Su Family was very strong, it was not strong to such an extent that they could cover the skies with one hand in the Dan Wu Academy.


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan, I didn''t think that after your involvement in the Endless Trials this time, it''s like you were reborn after coming back! That move just now, even if I were matched up against it, I would also be at a loss on what to do!" Huyan Yong marveled.


    Huyan Yong felt that not only did Ye Yuan raise his cultivation realm, but his power also grew much greater.


    Although he was only at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, his strength was probably already not beneath Long Tang''s!


    Huyan Yong was somewhat faintly looking forward to the match between these two pinnacle geniuses of the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy.


    "Haha,I can be considered to have some small gains I guess." Ye Yuan also could not share too much and could only make it vague.


    As a matter of fact, his biggest gain this trip to the Endless Forest was still the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. It was just that he was still unable to comprehend those golden words in a short period of time. Hence, this Medicine God''s Soul Canon was not useful to Ye Yuan at the moment.


    The two traveled side by side and soon arrived at Jiang Yunhe''s residence.


    "Lord Dean, Ye Yuan has returned. I brought him over to pay respects to you," Huyan Yong said respectfully outside the door.


    "Enter."


    Huyan Yong and Ye Yuan pushed the door and entered once they heard that. Upon entering, the discovered that there were still other people inside the house.


    An old man sat opposite Jiang Yunhe, giving people an immeasurable feeling. There was a young man standing beside the elderly man. Merely 18 or 19 years old, but already had Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation.


    To possess such strength at this age, he was definitely like a crane standing among chickens when placed in the Dan Wu Academy! Even Long Tang could not compare.


    "Haha, Ye Yuan! Such a coincidence. I was just about to send someone to call you and Long Tang over, but you arrived first. Quickly come over and pay respects to Lord Envoy Yao Qian!" Jiang Yunhe immediately laughed and said when he saw Ye Yuan.


    It was very clear that Jiang Yunhe had long known about Ye Yuan returning to the academy.


    "Junior Ye Yuan pays respect to Lord Yao Qian!" Ye Yuan did not say much and gave a salute to Yao Qian.


    "Academy''s instructor Huyan Yong pays respect to Lord Envoy!" Huyan Yong''s face changed when he heard that and went forward to give a respectful bow.


    Yao Qian lightly glanced at Ye Yuan and said, "En. You''re the student who made it past the Nine Heavens Road with Essence Qi Realm strength?"


    "It''s precisely this junior," Ye Yuan said.


    No idea why, but Ye Yuan felt that this envoy''s expression when looking at him was somewhat odd as if he did not really like him.


    This old fellow should be from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He did not seem to know anyone, right?


    Ye Yuan could not figure out just where he had offended this old man.


    The expression of the youth beside the old man was also filled with contempt when looking at him.


    How baffling!


    "Haha, this person beside Lord Yao Qian must be his proud disciple, Yang Hao. Don''t look at him being so young, not only did he reach the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm on the martial path, he''s even a high-rank Alchemy Master already. He is a genius figure even greater than your Teacher Feng! He will be your and Long Tang''s Senior Apprentice Brother in the future. You guys should try to be closer," Jiang Yunhe praised.


    Being praised by Jiang Yunhe, Yang Hao''s face showed a trace of delight, but it was concealed very well.


    However, Ye Yuan saw that and could not help scorning in his heart. Just based on this disposition, it was futile no matter how high his cultivation realm was.


    It looked like these sect members all had a lofty and exalted sense when coming to the secular world.


    Ye Yuan could not resist glancing at Huyan Yong. Seeing that he had no reaction and seemed to feel that it was only natural, he could not help secretly sighing.


    However, Ye Yuan was very disdainful of such an attitude. Ye Yuan listened to Jiang Yunhe''s introduction while appearing calm on the surface. But he was criticizing ceaselessly in his heart.


    What kind of genius did he count as? Since when did geniuses become so utterly worthless?


    But in front of Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan obviously would not show anything. He just clasped his hands and said, "I''ve seen Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. In the future, after I enter the sect, I hope that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang can look after me."


    Ye Yuan''s manners were already considered very humble and appropriate. Who would have thought that this Yang Hao just replied indifferently, "Haha, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is hailed as the number one person in a millennium. Why would you need the care of an incompetent person like me?"

 Chapter 185: Never Met Anyone so Retarded

    Chapter 185: Never Met Anyone so Retarded


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A thick smell of gunpowder appeared the moment he opened his mouth.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly. This fellow was simply here to stir up shit, right?


    He was originally already not that happy with Yang Hao''s high and mighty attitude. He was only so courteous on account of Jiang Yunhe''s face.


    It not, with Ye Yuan''s personality, he would not even be bothered with Yang Hao.


    The so-called geniuses did not even count as dull wits in Ye Yuan''s eyes!


    "So Senior Apprentice Brother Yang knows that he is mediocre huh. Looks like you still have some clear estimation of yourself. I was worried that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang was getting a little carried away after being praised too much by people." Since the other party did not give face, Ye Yuan obviously had no need to be polite.


    "Humph! The so-called number one person in a millennium is just extolled by some ignorant people of the secular world! Those who charged past the Nine Heavens Road, just a random grab in the Tranquil Cloud Sect and you get a bunch. Only the outer sect will sensationalize this stunt."


    Facing Ye Yuan''s ridicule, Yang Hao did not get stung by it but met him blow for blow.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''m don''t really care about what number one person in a millennium. Only some people with mediocre talent would take this sort of matter to heart."


    With each ''mediocre talent'' Ye Yuan said out loud, Yang Hao felt irritated by that constant harping on it in his heart. He was only being a little sarcastic to Ye Yuan just now. But he did not think that Ye Yuan would attack persistently from a chink in his armor.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye keeps saying mediocre. I wonder if you dare to compete with me, this mediocre talent? I want to consult just what kind of genius is the alleged number one person in a thousand years."


    Yang Hao''s condescending attitude was because he was dead sure that Ye Yuan would not dare to answer the challenge.


    He was at Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and high-rank Alchemy Master; a completely different level from Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan dared to accept the challenge, then he would not be a genius, but a one hundred percent dumbass!


    Ye Yuan was just about to say something when Jiang Yunhe by the side said, "Do not be rude, Ye Yuan! Lord Yao Qian is the high sect''s Pill Hall elder. This trip for him and Yang Hao is to especially fetch you and Long Tang into the sect."


    Finishing, he turned to Yao Qian again, saying, "Ye Yuan is young and aggressive. Pray that Lord Yao Qian will not take offense."


    Facing Jiang Yunhe''s reprimand, Ye Yuan did not voice anything. He knew that this was Jiang Yunhe reminding him that this journey to the Tranquil Cloud Sect had to be through the two of them and they could not be offended.


    Yao Qian did not express anything. He just said indifferently, "The affairs of young people, just let them resolve it themselves. We old fellows should not interfere."


    Yao Qian''s status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was much higher than him. Since he said so, Jiang Yunhe obviously could not say much. He just felt slightly displeased.


    He naturally knew why this Yao Qian was targeting Ye Yuan. But he did not think that it would be so obvious, putting Ye Yuan down right after coming.


    Yao Qian was an alchemist from the Ouyang Family line. He had very good relations with Ouyang Ming. Jiang Yunhe instantly felt that something was off when he saw him serve as the envoy.


    Jiang Yunhe did not think that it was merely a coincidence for the sect to send Yao Qian over.


    Indeed, the gunpowder smell started right after Ye Yuan entered!


    Initially, he was still harboring a compromising attitude, hoping that Yao Qian would give him this face. Who knew that Yao Qian''s light sentence would directly press down his stomach full of words?


    This one elderly and one youth were truly going too far. An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually verbally provoked a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This was simply utterly shameless!


    Even though this was Jiang Yunhe''s first contact with Ye Yuan, he had long heard about everything he had done. He knew that this punk was definitely not some obedient baby. He might really just accept the provocation.


    Jiang Yunhe knew that Ye Yuan was very monstrous, but the disparity between him and Yang Hao was not an ordinary kind of big.


    Even though Ye Yuan advancing to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm made him very surprised, it was still impossible to be Yang Hao''s match.


    Jiang Yunhe signaled with his eyes at Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan simply ignored him.


    "How about it, number one person in a millennium? Dare to compete?" Yang Hao looked at Ye Yuan pleased with himself as he squeezed with his words.


    Even a clay bodhisattva have 30% anger, let alone Ye Yuan. While he did not know what the reason was, these two fellows were clearly targeting him.


    If Ye Yuan could endure, then he would not be Ye Yuan anymore!


    "If I don''t even dare to answer the challenge of some second-rate talent, how can I dare be called the number one person in a millennium? Say it then; compete in what?"


    Ye Yuan directly acknowledged this title of ''number one in a millennium'' and stepped on Yang Hao again along the way.


    Jiang Yunhe sighed in his heart. This punk indeed could not take the spurring!


    The corner of Yang Hao''s lips twitched when he heard that. This was a typical case of opening a dying factory after giving a bit of color, right?


    However, when I trample you underfoot in a while, let''s see if you dare to be so cocky!


    He stole a glance at the two-star badge on Ye Yuan''s chest and said in a scornful way, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s realm is too low. If we compete on the martial path, I might not win using my true abilities. Since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is also an Alchemy Master, let''s compete in alchemy skills. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s opinion is?"


    Ye Yuan smiled. He smiled very happily.


    Seen before retards, but never met anyone so retarded.


    Ignoring the crushing advantage of cultivation realm and just had to choose something about alchemy skills. It looks like this fellow was very confident in his alchemy skills!


    But . . . seeking out an Alchemy Emperor to compete in alchemy skills. How did Yang Hao have the nerve to come up with that?


    Huyan Yong did not say anything ever since entering the house. He was also expressionless right now, but he was so delighted that flowers were blooming in his heart.


    This idiot actually sought Ye Yuan to compete on alchemy skills. Wasn''t this asking for it?


    If it was before Ye Yuan came to look for him, he really would not have much confidence in Ye Yuan. But now, he very much wanted to see the fascinating expression on Yang Hao''s face in a while.


    Although Huyan Yong had completely no clue about alchemy, he knew that the Crystal Formation Pill was definitely not an ordinary Tier 2 medicinal pill. Even high-rank Alchemy Masters would probably find it very challenging to refine.


    Yang Hao was actually competing in alchemy skills with Ye Yuan who could refine out Crystal Formation Pills. If this wasn''t asking for a beating, then what was?


    Not knowing why, when he saw Ye Yuan''s smile, Yang Hao''s felt a bout of frustration in his heart.


    "What? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye don''t dare to compete? If you don''t dare to contend, then forget it. However, after you enter the sect, you just have to walk around me, that''s all."


    "En? This idea is pretty good. How about this, whichever one of us wins, the other party will have to walk around the other person if they see him. How''s that?"


    "Hur hur, ignorance is truly bliss! Fine, I promise you!" Yang Hao said brimming with self-confidence.


    "Okay, you say it then. Compete in what?" Ye Yuan inquired.


    "Controlling fire is the foundation for alchemists and also an important criterion to measure alchemy skills. Like this, let us each retrieve an ingredient on the spot and compete in controlling fire. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s opinion is?"


    As he said, Yang Hao pointed to the Illuminating Fire on the inner wall of the house.


    Illuminating Fire was a type of earth fire. Because its luminosity was better, it was generally used to illuminate.


    Alchemy Apprentices did not have a high requirement towards controlling fire because of insufficient soul strength. But when one reached the Alchemy Master realm, their alchemy skills would finally be considered to have crossed the rudimentary threshold. The requirement towards controlling fire was also very high.


    Yang Hao saw that Ye Yuan was only a low-rank Alchemy Master, so he determined that he had just come into contact with controlling fire not long and should be very weak in terms of controlling fire.


    This was intentionally making things difficult for Ye Yuan.


    What he did not know was that not only did Ye Yuan know how to play with fire, there was even the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame inside his body . . .

 Chapter 186: Fire Burning Buttocks

    Chapter 186: Fire Burning Buttocks


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is very confident in your control over fire! Okay, then compete in fire control. Please go ahead, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang," Ye Yuan said while smiling.


    Smile then, smile then! In a while, I''ll see if you can keep smiling! Yang Hao sneered coldly in his heart.


    Comparing overall abilities in alchemy skill, perhaps he, Yang Hao, was not considered very impressive among the sect''s core disciples.


    But when competing in controlling fire, he could rank in the top twenty!


    This country bumpkin definitely did not understand just what kind of concept was top twenty.


    The geniuses of the Tranquil Cloud Sect were not something comparable to a mere outer sect. Like him, Yang Hao was merely just some dreg in the entire sect with his excellent talent!


    Those fellows in the Pill Hall were more monstrous one after the other!


    To be able to rank in the top twenty in the aspect of controlling fire, Yang Hao could already be amply proud!


    "Humph! Watch closely. Today, I''ll let you, a frog in a well, witness what is called controlling fire!"


    As he spoke, Yang Hao went in front of the Illuminating Fire and beckoned with two fingers.


    The flame directly broke away from the lantern and followed Yang Hao''s finger as it danced in the air, looking extremely dazzling.


    Yang Hao formed seals with both hands and the Illuminating Fire transformed into a thin and long fire dragon that coiled around him, looking very obedient.


    This move was finished extremely beautifully, giving people a sort of feeling that it was very pleasing to the eyes.


    Suddenly, Yang Hao beckoned with his fingertip. The fire dragon flew out from the boundary around his body and rushed straight at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan simply watched Yang Hao''s performance with a faint smile and did not have the slightest intention of making a move.


    A trace of a cold smile flashed across the corner of Yang Hao''s mouth. He was already facing an imminent crisis, and Ye Yuan was still there pretending to be calm.


    Although the might of the Illuminating Fire was not strong and would not cause Ye Yuan any substantial injuries, it was more than enough to leave him dusty and dirty in appearance.


    It was as if Yang Hao had already seen the look of Ye Yuan being burned to a charcoal head.


    But just as the fire dragon was several inches away from Ye Yuan''s face, it suddenly started bouncing around.


    Yang Hao''s face changed. This fire dragon seemed to be trying to break free from his shackling and became unsettled. Ever since his fire controlling technique had reached Large Success, he had yet to encounter this sort of situation.


    The Illuminating Fire was just the most common earth fire. It did not pose any difficulty to Yang Hao at all. How could a situation where it was breaking free of control appear?


    Could it be Ye Yuan causing mischief? But there weren''t even the slightest bit of essence energy undulations from his body!


    Seeing ghosts! 1


    Yang Hao obviously would not leave the Illuminating Fire unchecked to break free from his control. He gritted his teeth and increased the essence energy to urge it. But it was like the Illuminating Fire was being stubborn with him as it refused to move even half a step forward no matter what.


    Yang Hao increased his strength again. Who knew that the seemingly clever move turned out to be a foolish one. With a whoosh, the Illuminating Fire actually scurried straight back towards Yang Hao!


    Yang Hao jumped in fright at this scene and hurriedly urged with his fire controlling seals again.


    The Illuminating Fire was only a very low-end flame after all. It was restricted by Yang Hao in a short while.


    Following that, he beckoned with his fingertip, and the Illuminating Fire went back inside the lantern.


    Clap! Clap! Clap!


    Ye Yuan applauded and praised, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang''s fire controlling technique is truly transcendent! I, Junior Apprentice Brother, admire it greatly! It was a really close shave just now, nearly burning me. Luckily, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang showed mercy! However . . . caution is needed when playing with fire. Don''t burn yourself, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang!"


    Yang Hao''s face was deathly sullen. All those present were experts. It was clear at a glance whether he showed mercy just now or not.


    Ye Yuan saying these words were truly enormous sarcasm.


    Except, he also could not figure out why the Illuminating Fire would suddenly lose control.


    Ye Yuan clearly did not do anything at all!


    Not just him who did not understand, Yao Qian by the side also did not understand. But the gaze he gave when looking at Ye Yuan became somewhat different.


    Yang Hao wanted to use the Illuminating Fire to burn Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan had the Tier 4 essence fire, Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, inside his body. When the Illuminating Fire approached Ye Yuan, it instinctively sensed extreme danger. How could it possibly burn Ye Yuan?


    Humans were unable to feel such a level of coercion from ranks, but the flame itself was very sensitive.


    "Humph! Your turn! I want to see just what kind of tricks can you play!" Yang Hao said in a deep voice.


    "Haha, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is already very amazing. What sort of tricks can I even play? I''ll just copy it blindly," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    In the while that Yang Hao was stunned, Ye Yuan already reached out to beckon in thin air. The Illuminating Fire flew into Ye Yuan''s hand obediently.


    Seeing this scene, the pupils of the other four people in the house constricted.


    Just based on this move, Ye Yuan was way too brilliant compared to Yang Hao!


    Previously, Yang Hao walked under the lantern to execute the fire controlling seals before calling out the Illuminating Fire. But Ye Yuan was still several dozen meters away from the lantern, only to see that he casually called with one hand and the Illuminating Fire flew over itself.


    The level was clear at a glance!


    Without any gaudy fire controlling seals, Ye Yuan just supported with his palm and the Illuminating Fire automatically transformed into a fire dragon, circling around Ye Yuan.


    The appearance was exactly the same as Yang Hao just now!


    Yang Hao was so enraged that he ground his teeth in rage. This was simply a provocation!


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Hao and suddenly gave a peculiar smile. He lifted his hand and pointed a finger at Yang Hao.


    Yang Hao jumped in fright when he saw the situation and hurried formed seals to deal with it.


    After forming finish the seals, he discovered that he was tricked by Ye Yuan again. That fire dragon was still circling leisurely around Ye Yuan!


    "Hur hur, don''t be so nervous, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. Just playing a prank," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yang Hao''s face no longer had that initial haughtiness and calmness. He could not wait to rush up and give Ye Yuan a bite!


    But right then, Ye Yuan spoke again.


    "This time, it''s for real. Be careful, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang!"


    Ye Yuan pointed again. But . . . still just a finger!


    Yang Hao smiled coldly and said, "Repeating old tricks don''t have much of a meaning, right?"


    "Dumbass! Quickly look behind you!" Yao Qian who had been mum all along finally made a sound.


    Yang Hao was dazed. Turning around to look, he saw that his buttocks caught fire and a burned smell spread out.


    Yang Hao jumped in fright and hurriedly formed seals to extinguish the flames on his butt. However, his attire was already burned through by the Illuminating Fire as two lumps of white flesh were revealed.


    Swooshing bum down to the ground, Yang Hao''s face was red to the tips of his ears.


    "Hur hur, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang is really mindful of your face but disregarded your buttocks. Why are you so careless? If some senior apprentice sisters saw it when you head out, I''m afraid that Senior Apprentice Brother Yang''s name will probably spread back to the sect very soon, right?" Ye Yuan chortled as he said.


    Huyan Yong was originally someone who was serious in speech and manner, but even he could not hold back his laughter right now.


    "Don''t be smug, Ye Yuan! Let''s compete again if you have the capabilities!" Yang Hao''s face was red and his ears scarlet. He was clearly hopping mad from embarrassment.


    "Sigh, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang can''t take a loss! What are we competing on this time? Competing in Martial Path? You, an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, competing with me, a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Even if you win, it will also be the big bullying the small if it spreads out, right?" Ye Yuan pretended to sigh emotionally.


    "Enough! A loss means a loss! Do you feel that this isn''t disgracing enough? Quickly go and change your clothes!" Yao Qian''s face fell as he said to Yang Hao in mild irritation.


    Being bellowed at by Yao Qian, Yang Hao was just like a defeated rooster and went to a quiet spot to change his clothing.


    After Yang Hao left, Yao Qian looked at Ye Yuan with narrowed eyes and said, "Truly heroes come from youngsters! To think that such a talented figure actually appeared in my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s outer sect!"

 Chapter 187: Barely Passable

    Chapter 187: Barely Passable


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Yao Qian was currently very amazed in his heart, because even he also did not see clearly just how Ye Yuan got the Illuminating Fire behind Yang Hao imperceptibly just now!


    This monstrosity of Ye Yuan far exceeded his imagination!


    It looked like this title of ''number one in a millennium'' was not without reason.


    A 15-year-old Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This sort of cultivation speed was also not slow even when placed in the sect. Even more terrifying was that this Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills should be very strong.


    To obtain such accomplishments in the martial path and alchemy path at the same time, but only 15 years of age, his future accomplishments were limitless!


    Except, this Ye Yuan offended the Su Family. This time, he would likely be wiped out by the Su Family.


    It was somewhat of a pity.


    "Lord Yao Qian flatters me. What number one in a millennium, Ye Yuan is not worthy. But compared to some mediocre talents, I''m still that little bit stronger," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    This old fellow clearly did not have any good intentions as well. Ye Yuan obviously did not need to be courteous.


    "What a sharp tongue. But young people should learn how to restrain themselves a little. Otherwise, you will suffer."


    "If other people respect me a foot, I will return them 10 feet. If other people reach out for a yard after taking an inch, I''ll leave no room to advance! This is my life principle!"


    "Haha, oh Yunhe. This little baby is really quite interesting." Yao Qian ignored Ye Yuan and turned to say to Jiang Yunhe.


    Jiang Yunhe felt quite awkward and chuckled drily, saying, "Ye Yuan''s personality is like this. Don''t lower yourself to his level, Lord Yao Qian."


    "Why would I bother arguing with a little child?" Yao Qian said coolly.


    Right then, a voice came from outside the door. "Lord Dean, Long Tang requests for an audience."


    "Come on in," Jiang Yunhe instructed.


    Long Tang''s arrival also eased up some of the awkwardness. But when he saw Ye Yuan, his eyes instantly turned sharp.


    This Ye Yuan actually broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm already!


    Initially, he thought that having broken through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he finally shook off Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan did not break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, then his arranged battle with Ye Yuan had no meaning.


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan''s improvement speed was not the slightest bit slower than him!


    Long Tang could consecutively breakthrough within a month was first, because of his accumulation, and secondly, because he reaped no little benefit on the Nine Heavens Road. Thirdly, it was because of the Essence Spirit Pill.


    He only dared to consecutively breakthrough two realms in a short period of time because he combined so many elements.


    But Ye Yuan went for a trip to the Endless Forest and was already Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm when he came back. This improvement speed was too terrifying!


    One had to know that before Ye Yuan left for the Endless Forest, he had just broken through to Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago!


    Ye Yuan also looked towards him at this time. The pair smiled when their eyes met, but did not say anything.


    Jiang Yunhe gave an introduction. Yao Qian only opened his mouth to talk after Long Tang finished paying his respects.


    "I''m here this time under the sect''s command to come to the outer sect to fetch you two into the sect. The two of you passed through the Nine Heavens Road, so you naturally possess the identity of the sect''s core disciple. But before entering, the two of you still need to understand the rules of our Tranquil Cloud Sect. After entering the sect, you must obey the rules stringently. Otherwise, bear the consequences!"


    As he spoke, Yao Qian casually struck out two steaks of white light. Two jade slips landed separately in Ye Yuan and Long Tang''s hands.


    Ye Yuan submerged a wisp of divine sense into the jade slip to read the contents.


    After reading the contents, Ye Yuan was also sighing incessantly. From the rules, one could see that the rivalry within the sect was way crueler than in the Dan Wu Academy.


    That was a genuine survival of the fittest!


    Within the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they were separated into Elite Disciples, Core Disciples, and Outer-sect Disciples.


    The normal advancement channel was that the top students in the outer sects barely had the qualifications to become an outer-sect disciple after passing the Heaven Rank Advancement Test!


    And there are three routes to become a core disciple. The first route was advancing from outer-sect disciple. The second way was passing the Nine Heavens Road. Other than these, it would be disciples specially approved by the sect''s upper echelons.


    Elite disciples had some similarities to the Martial Roll set up in the Dan Wu Academy. Only those disciples who were extremely strong in the alchemy path or martial path can qualify!


    Moreover, elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples were not unchanging. They would undergo ranking every two months. Those ranked near the back would be eliminated from entering the next level, while disciples who had outstanding performance but a lower rank will advance up a level.


    Hence, the number of elite disciples and core disciples were basically fixed!


    And outer-sect disciples who failed the assessment would end up doing miscellaneous affairs!


    Miscellaneous affairs did not have the slightest status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Every day, they had to do large numbers of miscellaneous stuff. There was simply not much time to cultivate.


    Amid the elite disciples, core disciples, and outer-sect disciples, the treatment they enjoy also had an extremely huge difference!


    In the Dan Wu Academy, many of them were members of aristocrat families. To them, the use of academy resources made no difference.


    Wealth allowed willfulness!


    But that would not do in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect carried out a points system. To obtain corresponding cultivation resources in the academy, one had to use points to exchange.


    Without points, it was difficult to take a single step in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Points could not be bought with money. Only by making a certain level of contribution for the sect can one obtain the corresponding points.


    It could be seen from this system that trying to smoke your way through life in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was absolutely impractical! Only by constantly cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating, could one plant their footing firmly in the sect!


    The sect did not raise a single trash!


    Yao Qian glimpse at the two of them indifferently and said, "Both finished reading the sect''s rules? I can tell you two that with your current strength, you''re actually only capable of ranking in at roughly the middle of the outer-sect disciples. There''s still some distance away from core disciple. Especially Ye Yuan. You''re only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. You''re probably at the bottom even among the outer-sect disciples. Hence, you two had better grasp your time tightly to cultivate more if you want to get the appropriate resources. Or else, you will be eliminated in the first sect competition. That would also leave Yunhe without any face, right?"


    Hearing Yao Qian say so, Long Tang looked at Ye Yuan rather odd expression.


    Ye Yuan''s strength could only be at the bottom of the barrel among the outer-sect disciples? This Yao Qian definitely did not know the fearful aspect of Ye Yuan!


    Even though he himself broke through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm now, he also did not dare say that he can certainly win Ye Yuan! Even if he only had the strength of the middle reaches of the outer-sect disciples, Ye Yuan was definitely roughly the same as him.


    Being at the bottom was impossible!


    Additionally, with Ye Yuan''s improvement speed, he would most likely steady his footing very soon among the core disciples after entering the sect, right?


    Yao Qian saw Long Tang''s expression and said carelessly, "You guys still don''t have too clear an understanding about the might of the sect disciples. I just wish to tell you, don''t be na?ve enough to think that you can leap ranks to battle. You two will only realize just how small and weak you are after entering the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    Long Tang''s heart jolted when he heard that, but Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Lord Yao Qian really likes to worry. If you have much spare time, why not educate that incompetent disciple of yours. I think that with his standards, we''re still barely passable to make it as core disciples after going to the sect."

 Chapter 188: Leave It to Me!

    Chapter 188: Leave It to Me!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Yao Qian''s eyes revealed a trace of cold light.


    Evidently, he was truly infuriated by Ye Yuan repeatedly making light of him.


    Yao Qian''s status in the sect was not low. Disciples would be most respectful when they saw him. Since when did anyone dare to rebuke him so?


    Ye Yuan hadn''t even entered the sect yet currently. If he were to enter, what would happen?


    Of course, he definitely would not reflect on himself. It was him who provoked Ye Yuan in the first place.


    "Haha, good! Very good! Ye Yuan, with your current realm, you only have the right to be at the bottom when you enter the Martial Hall. But your Alchemy Path talent is not bad. If you enter the Pill Hall, perhaps you can retain the opportunity to be a core disciple. However, I''m afraid that I have not told you this yet. My identity in the sect is . . . a Pill Hall Elder!"


    Yao Qian''s words were a blatant threat.


    The meaning of his words was crystal clear. After you enter the sect, make sure you don''t fall into my hands!


    Naturally, with Ye Yuan''s Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, he could only be sent to become an outer-sect disciple if he entered the Martial Hall. At that time, would it not be a matter of a word from Yao Qian to knead him however he wished?


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "Oh yeah? Looks like to avoid Elder Yao, I can only enter the Martial Hall. Uh, that''s also pretty good. With your standard of teaching disciples, wouldn''t I be delayed to death if I enter the Pill Hall?"


    "Alright, Ye Yuan, say a few sentences less! Elder Yao Qian, Ye Yuan, he . . ."


    Jiang Yunhe saw Ye Yuan rebuking Yao Qian again and could not resist reprimanding him.


    Except, at this time, Yao Qian suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, "Dean Jiang, you really taught a fine student! I think that with your merits, you can forget about getting the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation in this lifetime! Humph!"


    Finishing, Yao Qian ignored Jiang Yunhe''s persuasion to stay and directly left.


    Jiang Yunhe glared fiercely at Ye Yuan, but finally said powerlessly, "You this punk, why are you so adept at causing trouble?! Ignoring that you turned the whole academy upside down, you haven''t even entered the sect, and you already offended a sect elder! Wait until you enter the sect and you''ll get it! In this place, there''s at least your father''s backing. But after entering the sect, you''ll find no kin to turn to. At that time, who can protect you?"


    Huyan Yong also furrowed his brows and said, "That''s right, Ye Yuan. A man knows when to yield and when not to. After your power becomes great and you advance to elite disciple, you wouldn''t need to see Yao Qian''s mood anymore. Why offend him now?"


    "Haha, that Yao Qian and Yang Hao were obviously targeting me. Even if I make concessions for the general interest, will they let me off? Not necessary, right? This kind of people, if they are offended, then let them be offended. No big deal. Rather, Lord Dean, what the meaning of the Purple Center Soul Incantation Yao Qian spoke of just now? Listening to its name, it should be a soul cultivation method, right?" Ye Yuan said without a care.


    Jiang Yunhe let out a sigh and knew deep down that what Ye Yuan said was reasonable.


    He was much clearer on Yao Qian''s past history than Ye Yuan and Huyan Yong. In reality, he was still holding onto the mentality of hoping that there was a chance both parties would be amicable.


    Who knew that Yao Qian simply did not give him any face, putting Ye Yuan down the moment he arrived.


    But the pitiable thing was that the blow did not work. Instead, it broke his teeth.


    "What you said is right. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is a soul cultivation method, and it is also the strongest soul cultivation incantation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Those elders in the Pill Hall basically all train in this soul incantation. I''m the same. The Purple Center Soul Incantation is split into two parts. The first half can allow alchemists to train to the Alchemy Grandmaster realm, while the second half can train to the Alchemy Sovereign! But the sad thing is that ever since Patriarch Ouyang Tuotian, the Tranquil Cloud Sect never had anyone who could cultivate to the Alchemy Sovereign realm."


    Jiang Yunhe''s eyes were full of regrets. He clearly revered Ouyang Tuotian very much.


    Consolidating the words Yao Qian left behind before he left, Ye Yuan immediately understood in his heart. "Lord Dean came to the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy to hold a post for earning points to exchange for the lower half of this Purple Center Soul Incantation?"


    Jiang Yunhe nodded bitterly and said, "That''s right. I was born in the Pill Hall. Before coming to the State of Qin, I was a deacon in the Pill Hall. The point requirement for the Purple Center Soul Incantation is too much. With my status and identity in the sect, it was simply impossible to earn so many points. Hence, I planned for this outside job. Initially, I thought that I could raise a few talents for the sect. But who would have thought that after coming to the State of Qin for so many years, the Dan Wu Academy had never improved. In these few years, only Mo Yuntian, this one genius appeared. But this time, you and Long Tang appeared at once. Two geniuses who crossed the Nine Heavens Road. I was elated in my heart. But I didn''t think that this was the outcome . . ."


    After a short pause, Jiang Yunhe continued, "After the two of you enter the sect, Ouyang Ming and Yao Qian will definitely find ways to suppress you. Therefore, you must tuck your tails and behave! Especially Ye Yuan. I know that you''re peerlessly talented, but your present cultivation realm is too low. There''s something Yao Qian said that was right. The might of the sect''s disciples is something you guys can''t imagine! So, you two need to raise your cultivation realms as soon as possible to solidify your position as core disciples, understood?"


    "Ouyang Ming?" Ye Yuan went blank when he heard that.


    "That''s right. Ouyang Ming holds enormous power in the sect''s Pill Hall. And Ouyang Mind is also a Pill Hall elder on friendly terms with Yao Qian." Jiang Yunhe said.


    "Turns out that there''s such a level of relation huh. No wonder this old punk aimed for me right after he came." Hearing Jiang Yunhe said something like that, Ye Yuan immediately understood the situation.


    "Looks like you already know the background of the Su Family, so there''s no need for me to remind you. However, the capital''s undercurrent is turbulent recently. Your father is also at the edge of the storm. You father and son still need to take precaution when doing things! In my opinion, your father should still take the initiative to withdraw from this whirlpool. Why be a pawn for the Imperial Family?"


    It was very plain that Jiang Yunhe knew the movements in the State of Qin like the back of his hand. It was just that his status was aloof and it was inconvenient to be involved.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The grudge between our Ye Family, the Wan Family, and the Su Family is irreconcilable. Even if they didn''t stir up so much shit, these two families are destined to be destroyed!"


    Jiang Yunhe could not help sucking in a cold breath after hearing it. These words were domineering.


    Even he, Jiang Yunhe, dare not say to exterminate these two great families. But it was so natural coming from Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    One had to know that in these two great families, just the Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses were as many as three!


    And on Ye Yuan''s side, counting Nanfeng Yi and that Imperial Uncle from the Imperial Family that had not shown his face for a long time, was only three as well.


    Both parties were on par. Wanting to exterminate the other party was too difficult! What was Ye Yuan basing this on?


    "Ye Yuan, your future prospects are limitless. Don''t be reckless in doing things! Your strength is still not enough to make a splash in this storm. Don''t ruin your own magnificent future for these sort of secular world affairs!" Jiang Yunhe urged bitterly.


    Jiang Yunhe also clearly had his talent appreciating heart moved and did not wish for any accidents to befall Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow to Jiang Yunhe and said, "Relax, Dean. I know what to do. Thanks for your care towards me this period of time! I''m going back to the capital tomorrow. After the capital''s affairs settle, I''ll come and bid farewell to dean again. As for the matter of Purple Center Soul Incantation, leave it to me!"

 Chapter 189: Becoming Beautiful!

    Chapter 189: Becoming Beautiful!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Leave it to you?" Jiang Yunhe went blank when he heard that.


    "That''s right! Isn''t the use of these outside dojos to dig for talents for the sect? As long as I can become an elite disciple, the merits for the dean will be about there already, right?" Ye Yuan said.


    "That might be true, but to become an elite disciple is too difficult, too difficult! I know that your talent is matchless, but the elite disciples in the sect, each and every one of their talent is not beneath yours!" Jiang Yunhe shook his head and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not explain. Rather, it was Huyan Yong who voiced out at this time. He said, "Lord Dean, I, on the other hand, believe that Ye Yuan can become an elite disciple! Even though that Yao Qian kept harping on how Ye Yuan''s strength is too low, I feel that Ye Yuan can steady his footing among the core disciples very soon."


    Jiang Yunhe revealed a strange expression. He had never seen Huyan Yong view a student so highly before.


    . . . . . .


    Leaving Jiang Yunhe''s place, Ye Yuan directly went to find Nanfeng Ruoqing.


    "Aunt, how is it, how is it? Did I become prettier yet?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked Nanfeng Ruoqing frantically.


    Ye Yuan had already helped her and Nanfeng Ruoqing refine the Beauty Retaining Pill. Right after consuming it, there was an indescribable feeling coursing through her veins. Her own body seemed to have undergone some sort of unspeakable transformation.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing carefully measured up Nanfeng Zhirou, then pinched her small cheeks and said in surprise, "This skin of yours is about to drip water! Touching it feels just like a newborn baby! Is this Beauty Retaining Pill really so miraculous?"


    Not that the State of Qin did not have beautifying medicinal pills, but the effects of those sort of pills were at most to delay aging. With the passage of time, it would still leave behind the vestige of time on people''s faces.


    Moreover, those type of medicinal pills tends to have side-effects here and there. As time passed, it would slowly surface.


    Even so, these type of medicinal pills still made some noble family women flock to them like ducks. More often than not, it could not be bought with money.


    For the Beauty Retaining Pill Ye Yuan refined to have such an effect, once it entered the market, it would surely soar to a sky-high price.


    "Ah! You look! The calluses on my hands also disappeared!" As she was talking, Nanfeng Zhirou waved her hands.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing gave a look, and it was real!


    Don''t think that Nanfeng Zhirou was a princess embodied in all manners of pampering. For the sake of pursuing the martial path, she suffered no little hardship. Due to her being a martial artist who used a sword, it was hard for her hands to avoid calluses after so many years.


    If one had to say the area which Nanfeng Zhirou was most displeased with herself, it would be this pair of hands. And now, her hands were fair and tender, impossibly fine. It was just like a young lady who grew up in a boudoir and completely unlike a martial artist''s.


    "I didn''t think that Ye Yuan could actually refine such a miraculous medicinal pill! And he even said that not only did this Beauty Retaining Pill have zero side-effects, it even has the effects of improving the constitution. Can a Tier 2 medicinal pill attain such results?" Nanfeng Ruoqing was filled with disbelief.


    She had always taken pride in her own Alchemy Dao attainments. But ever since meeting Ye Yuan, she knew that she was but a frog at the bottom of a well.


    "Ah,Aunty!" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise again.


    "What are you freaking out over, you bloody lass?" Nanfeng Ruoqing spat.


    Nanfeng Zhirou moved closer to Nanfeng Ruoqing''s face and exclaimed, "Aunt, in the past, you don''t look like my aunt. Now, you look even less like my aunt!"


    "Damn lass, if I''m not your aunt, then who is?"


    "After you consumed the Beauty Retaining Pill, you''re practically like my twin sister! Even though your age isn''t that old, you look much younger now!" Nanfeng Zhirou cried out in surprise.


    Ye Yuan refined a batch of Beauty Retaining Pills and gave Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece one each. Other than that, he also saved one for his mother and Lu-er.


    "Ah? Is that true?" Nanfeng Ruoqing touched her face and said in astonishment.


    "It''s true! More real than real gold! There''s a mirror here; quickly take a look!" Nanfeng Zhirou said and took a mirror, passing it over to Nanfeng Ruoqing.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing faced the mirror to have a look and then exclaimed in surprise, "It''s true! The current me looks like I returned back to two, three years ago; around the same age as you."


    Even if Nanfeng Ruoqing''s personality was very quiet, she was still overjoyed right now. As long as one was a woman, they would not have any resistance towards becoming beautiful.


    "Hehe, when we go out next time, other people might think that you''re my older sister!" Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought about this scene and grinned from ear to ear.


    "Damn lass, no matter what I become, I''m still your aunt! If Imperial Brother heard these words, he would definitely confine you again!" Nanfeng Ruoqing glared.


    Nanfeng Zhirou stuck out her tongue mischievously.


    "En? Aunty, quickly look! Lu-er seems to be moving!" Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly cried out in joy.


    Hearing Nanfeng Zhirou''s shout, the two of them hurried over to the bed, only to see Lu-er''s eyelids moving slightly as if she was really about to wake up.


    Lu-er''s frost poison was very powerful. It was almost on the verge of erupting. Hence, she was still temporarily unable to awaken after swallowing the Essence Yang Pill.


    Ye Yuan already predicted earlier that it would take roughly another two, three days. Now, just over two days had passed, and Lu-er indeed woke up.


    Lu-er''s breathing became stable as she gradually opened her eyes. Her gaze was somewhat hazy.


    "I . . . Where am I? Could it be that I''m already dead?"


    "You silly lass, take a good look at who we are! Are you cursing us to die here?" Nanfeng Zhirou said huffily.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing pulled on her clothing and shot her a glare before saying to Lu-er, "Lu-er, I''m Feng Ruoqing. Don''t you remember me?"


    Lu-er carefully sized up Nanfeng Ruoqing and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Aren''t you Teacher Feng? Why are you . . . Why do you seem to have become different? Like . . . Like you became younger! Sorry, I . . . I . . ."


    Nanfeng Ruoqing''s blushed and said, "This is thanks to your family''s young master. He refined a type of medicinal pill for us. After we took it, we became like this. Oh, right, how are you feeling right now? In order to save you, your young master could be said to have gone through fire and water during this one month!"


    Lu-er was greatly alarmed when she heard this. "Is . . . Is Young Master okay?"


    "Haha, of course he''s fine! Your young master''s life is tenacious as hell, how can he die so easily?"


    Right then, a bout of laughter came from outside. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Lu-er was immediately overjoyed when she heard Ye Yuan''s voice and was about to climb up from the bed. Ye Yuan hurried went up to support her and said grumpily, "Lie down properly for me! What are you messing around for? You''re still quite frail now; take a good rest."


    Lu-er saw Ye Yuan, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. "Young Master, I . . . I thought that I couldn''t see Young Master anymore. Sniff sniff . . ."


    Ye Yuan gently stroked Lu-er''s fine hair and said with a smile, "Silly girl, with Young Master around, how could you die? Even if you entered King Yama''s hall, Young Master could still pull you back! Alright, stop letting your thoughts run wild. I prepared some vitality replenishing medicinal pills for you. You recuperate for a while, and then we head back home!"

    Chapter 190: Teaching Father Alchemy


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At the Ye Family courtyard, Ye Hang and Ye Yuan sat facing each other.


    "Yuan-er, it''s only been one month of not seeing you. To think that you broke through to the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    Ye Hang looked at Ye Yuan full of pride. Seeing his son improve at godspeed made him even happier than his own breakthrough.


    "Haha, father''s Second Level Crystal Formation Realm also stabilized, and you also successfully broke through to middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. This time, the Pill Grading Assembly that Wan Donghai cooked up is probably lifting a stone to smash his own feet," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Haha, this is all thanks to you! If you didn''t impart me those two cultivation methods, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could only avoid the edge."


    "Humph! Avoid the edge? I will definitely pull out the Wan Family and the Su Family by the roots this time! If not for my life being tenacious, I would have long been murdered by those two family''s people multiple times!" Speaking of the Wan Family and the Su Family, Ye Yuan was full of grievance.


    Counting that time from his predecessor, it had already been more than three or four times that the Wan and Su Family plotted to harm him!


    Especially that time by Su Yubai. If not for Huyan Yong stepping out bravely at the crucial time, he would have long been a ghost under the palm.


    But Ye Hang shook his head and sighed. "Even if my strength had some breakthrough, to want to pull these two families up by the roots, I''m afraid that it''s still beyond my means."


    "Relax, Father. You just focus on working together with the Imperial Family to deal with the enemy. At the crucial moment, I will give them a huge surprise!"


    "Oh? How will that work?" Ye Hang asked in slight shock.


    In the State of Qin, the Su Family was extremely powerful. Even the Imperial Family was very wary of them.


    More importantly, the Su Family had a backer in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. The Nanfeng Family did not dare to make a move recklessly the whole time.


    The power of a sect was not something that a secular Imperial Family could withstand. Just the Ouyang Family alone could sweep across the Imperial Family by casually sending over a Seven or Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    Not to mention that Crystal Formation Realm was only among the weakest within the sect''s powerhouses.


    "Follow me, Father." Ye Yuan got up and headed over to Ye Hang''s private refinement room.


    Ye Hang looked at Ye Yuan''s secretive appearance and could not help following in puzzlement.


    Arriving at the refinement room, Ye Yuan set down restrictions in the refinement room before saying to Ye Hang, "Look, Father."


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan casually gestured. A white colored ape appeared out of thin air! It was precisely Yuan Fei!


    However, Yuan Fei''s condition did not appear to be too good. He was severely wounded by Black Crow Old Man and still had not recovered until now.


    Although his injuries were not life-threatening, he required at least a month if he wants to fully recover.


    And Ye Yuan was still unable to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills right now, so he had no way of helping Yuan Fei recover from his injuries.


    However, Yuan Fei''s appearance gave Ye Hang a huge shock. If not for his son telling him to pay attention just now, he might have already rushed to attack Yuan Fei right now.


    "Sss . . . Tier 3 demonic beast! Just now, could that be . . . a spatial artifact?" Ye Hang''s eyes were filled with intense shock. The gaze he looked at Ye Yuan with was full of incredulity!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s right, it''s precisely a Tier 3 demonic beast Long-arm Stone Ape and spatial artifact! He''s called Yuan Fei; a servant I took in during this trip to the Endless Forest. This spatial artifact is also owned by Yuan Fei. Except, in order to protect me, he was wounded by a powerhouse and has not recovered until now."


    This time, Ye Hang was shocked until he remained dazed for a long time before saying, "What kind of expert could actually hurt a Tier 3 demonic beast?! You actually got into trouble with such a terrifying expert when you went to participate in this Endless Trials?"


    If Ye Yuan were not his son, he would definitely think that the other party was talking bullshit!


    Also, Ye Yuan had only broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm not long ago. How did he subdue a Tier 3 demonic beast?


    This . . . This was simply incomprehensible!


    Towards his father, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of concealing. He recounted the events of this trip of the Endless Forest modestly, leaving Ye Hang speechless for a long time.


    Nevertheless, Ye Yuan did not say that who he encountered was a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. He only said that he met a middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm expert. Both sides fought a great battle, which was why Yuan Fei suffered heavy injuries.


    Even though he fabricated a master to use as a pretense, it was still too ludicrous for a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm to kill a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse.


    Ye Hang had always been very gratified by his son''s rise, but he had never noticed that Ye Yuan had already grown to such an extent unwittingly.


    After the shock, Ye Hang felt a sense of relief.


    His son no longer needed to grow up under his wings! Ye Yuan had already become a towering tree!


    "I really did not expect that you actually had such experiences in the Endless Forest. Just relying on this Long-arm Stone Ape clan, you can sweep across the State of Qin!" Ye Hang sighed emotionally.


    Thousands and thousands upon of Long-arm Stone Apes! This force, when placed in the secular world, was too overwhelming!


    "Father, Yuan Fei''s injuries are very severe. But my current strength is too weak, so I can''t refine Tier 3 healing medicinal pills. I brought you here to ask you to help him refine medicinal pills!" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan had long refined medicinal pills for those injured Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes to treat them. Only Yuan Fei''s wounds left him helpless, so it kept delaying until now.


    Ye Hang was stunned when he heard that. He had never learned the refining method for demonic beast medicinal pills.


    "But, I don''t know how to refine medicinal pills for demonic beasts'' use."


    "Don''t worry. Master once imparted me the pill formula and refinement method. I''ll pass them all to you, then assist you in the refinement from the side. It should be able to work," Ye Yuan said.


    This healing medicinal pill was not something too complicated. Ye Hang had already broken through to middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster realm and also had Ye Yuan, this Alchemy Emperor guiding from the side. Refining it did not pose a problem.


    "Your master is really an expert! He actually even know the refining methods for demonic beast medicinal pills! Alright. Father will learn a little about this demonic beast medicinal pill''s refinement method!"


    Ye Hang was also an alchemy fanatic. Once he heard that he could learn the refining method for new medicinal pills, he immediately behaved like he was on stimulants.


    "Okay, this medicinal pill is called Bone Growing Pill. I''ve already prepared the ingredients. Now, I will pass the refining method to Father."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan threw a jade slip to Ye Hang. Ye Hang sunk his divine sense inside and started to study the refining method for the Bone Growing Pill.


    Ye Yuan had long prepared to let Ye Hang help to refine medicinal pills. Therefore, back in the imperial palace, he already let Nanfeng Ruoqing prepare the relevant ingredients.


    While Tier 3 herbs were very precious, it could not stump the Imperial Family. The herbs required for the Bone Growing Pill was very common, so Nanfeng Ruoqing prepared them very swiftly.


    While Ye Hang was studying the refining method for the Bone Growing Pill, Ye Yuan already finished pairing up all the ingredients and refined the medicinal embryo. 1Ye Hang was only responsible for the final refinement. This way, it could ensure the maximum success rate.


    After four hours, Ye Hang roused from his rumination. When he saw that Ye Yuan already finished refining the medicinal embryo, he could not help being secretly amazed.


    "Done, let''s start refining!" Ye Hang said.


    "Okay. I prepared a total of five sets of herbs. It should be enough for Father to refine out the Bone Growing Pill. Start refining then, Father. I''ll remind father on what to do at the critical moment," Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Hang nodded. Gesturing with one hand, a portion of the medicinal embryo landed in his hands.

 Chapter 191: White Light Evolves!

    Chapter 191: White Light Evolves!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Father, the medicinal pill isn''t the most stable right now. Do your best to use soul strength to stabilize the structure of the medicinal pill!"


    "Almost ready to condense the pill. Father, quickly reduce the flames. When condensing the Bone Growing Pill, one mustn''t temper it with a large flame."


    . . . . . .


    This was already the third set of ingredients. Ye Hang''s prior two refinements ended in failure.


    Ye Yuan had been observing the process of the refinement by the side this whole time and guided from the side. But Ye Hang at the end still failed.


    Although Ye Hang''s refinement was full of flaws in Ye Yuan''s eyes, he was currently lacking in strength even though he had the will, so he could only rely on Ye Hang.


    Luckily, Ye Hang''s alchemy standards were not bad. Having been through two failed attempts and with Ye Yuan''s guidance by the side, Ye Hang''s improvement was still very significant.


    This third refinement was clearly much smoother. Some of the rocky areas previously were much mellower now.


    Of course, this was due to Ye Yuan''s detailed guidance from the side. Otherwise, even if one gave Ye Hang 10 sets or even 20 sets of ingredients, he would probably ruin them all.


    After all, this was his first time refining demonic beast medicinal pills. And the essential points to take note of when refining demonic beast medicinal pills were entirely different from human ones.


    With Ye Yuan''s vision to guide Ye Hang, many aspects were targeted heavily, giving Ye Hang a feeling of being enlightened all at once.


    Hence, he only refined twice and already knew the areas he made mistakes in like the back of his hands.


    "Bone Growing Pill, condense!"


    Following Ye Hang''s low cry, the Bone Growing Pill was finally refined by him.


    Ye Hang took out the Bone Growing Pill from the medicinal cauldron, but let out a sigh. "Pity, it''s a low-grade."


    "No matter. Father is already very impressive! We still have two sets of ingredients left. We should be able to refine middle-grade or even high-grade pills!"


    Ye Hang nodded. "En, I''ll try again."


    With the fourth set of medicinal embryo, Ye Hang refined a middle-grade pill. All the way until the final portion of medicinal embryo, Ye Hang really refined out a high-grade Bone Growing Pill.


    Ye Yuan saw the pill form, and his eyes involuntarily lit up.


    Father''s alchemic talent was truly extraordinarily high. Such comprehension ability was not something the average Alchemy Grandmasters could compare to.


    Even though he was guiding by the side, it still greatly exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations for his father to refine out a high-grade Bone Growing Pill by just using five sets of medicinal embryo.


    His original estimation was that his father could only refine middle-grade, maybe even low-grade. He did not imagine that Ye Hang surpassed that and completed the task.


    Before this, Ye Yuan had never seen Ye Hang refine pills before and did not have a direct understanding of Ye Hang''s alchemy skills. He only knew now that Ye Hang''s skill was merely limited by soul strength. That was why he kept getting suppressed by Wan Donghai.


    If he matched up against Wan Donghai again now, Wan Donghai would absolutely not be Ye Hang''s match anymore.


    Having refined a high-grade Bone Growing Pill, Ye Yuan''s tightly wound nerves also loosened up.


    Ultimately, Tier 3 herbs were not white cabbages. They could not be squandered limitlessly like Tier 1 and Tier 2 herbs.


    Ye Yuan brought the Bone Growing Pill over for Yuan Fei to consume.


    "Many thanks, Young Master!" Yuan Fei said weakly.


    These few days, he had been suffering the torment of injuries. But he did not grumble to Ye Yuan at all, because he knew that Ye Yuan was even more severely wounded than him!


    If not for the fact that Ye Yuan prepared healing medicinal pills beforehand, he would most likely already be dead now.


    Ye Yuan beamed. "Why are you being courteous to me for? This time, if not for you, I would probably have never come out alive. It''s just that my current strength is insufficient, which made you suffer hardships."


    "This bit of injuries is nothing. Rather, it made me reminisce those memorable days of the past. These few years, I have always been living comfortably in the Crimson Summit Ridge. Most likely, this was also the reason why I kept being unable to break through, right? However, having witnessed Young Master''s alchemy skills, I''m very glad to be able to follow Young Master now!" Yuan Fei said emotionally.


    An Alchemy Master actually guided an Alchemy Grandmaster to refine medicinal pills. This was seriously overly subverting.


    Although Yuan Fei did not know alchemy, he could see that Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards were much higher than his father''s; on completely different levels!


    As long as Ye Yuan broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm and became an Alchemy Grandmaster, refining the Demon Crystal Pill would surely follow effortlessly!


    While he did not know why Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards were much higher than his father''s, this was unimportant.


    What was important was that Ye Yuan could bring him powerful might! Perhaps, he, Yuan Fei, was not without hope of impacting the bottleneck to become a Tier 4 demonic beast in his remaining years.


    Ye Yuan knew what Yuan Fei was thinking of and said with a smile, "Haha, relax. Perhaps I don''t even need a year, and I''ll be able to refine the Demon Crystal Pill. Now, properly absorb the medicinal effects and recover your strength. I still have areas in need of your strength in a few days."


    Yuan Fei nodded and did not say anything. He started to revolve essence energy to refine the medicinal effects.


    Ye Yuan no longer bothered with Yuan Fei. He gestured with one hand again, and a little ''kitty'' appeared out of nowhere. It was White Light.


    It was just that White Light was currently sleeping. No matter how he called, he would not wake up. This situation had already persisted for two days. Ye Yuan also felt somewhat bewildered.


    These two days, Ye Yuan refined many medicinal pills. He obviously would not forget to refine medicinal pills for White Light.


    White Light was only a Tier 1 demonic beast. This was naturally not an issue to Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, Tier 1 herbs were plenty. Ye Yuan refined thousands of medicinal pills in one go, planning for White Light to slowly use.


    Who knew that when Ye Yuan let White Light out, this little fellow''s eyes instantly shone when he saw those medicinal pills, and swallowed up the thousands of medicinal pills in one breath, leaving Ye Yuan dumbfounded.


    Even if it were him, he also would not dare to swallow medicinal pills like that! Was this little thing seeking death?


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and was about to make White Light spit out all those medicinal pills. Who knew that this little fellow gave a burp, slanted his body, and fell asleep.


    Initially, Ye Yuan thought that White Light was stuffed to death, so he quickly went forward to examine.


    This check made Ye Yuan involuntarily click his tongue in amazement. This little fellow''s breathing was calm. He was merely sleeping. Only then did he feel at ease.


    However, this snooze lasted two days. White Light did not show the slightest sign of waking.


    Although Ye Yuan had researched in depth into demonic beasts, he had truly never seen before this sort of situation. He could only check on White Light''s state at all times.


    Ye Yuan gave White Light another round of examination and discovered that White Light still did not show signs of waking. He was still dead asleep and would not wake up no matter how he called him.


    However, Ye Yuan noticed that White Light''s aura grew much stronger. He actually broke through already!


    Originally, White Light was only at the early-stage Tier 1. After sleeping for two days, he actually already broke through to middle-stage Tier 1 quietly.


    Could it be that this little fellow automatically refined the medicinal pills to break through in his sleep? This . . . was too effortless, right?


    Ye Yuan became increasingly curious about White Light''s history.


    Now, it seemed like White Light was probably not an ordinary Flowing Light White Tiger.


    Ye Yuan had never heard of Flowing Light White Tigers having a treasure-seeking innate divine ability nor them being able to evolve like this.


    However, the characteristics on White Light''s body was clearly Flowing Light White Tiger.


    Ye Yuan could not figure it just why this was the case even after pondering over it.


    It looked like he could only wait until he awakened his inherited memories to make sense of just what in the world happened to White Light''s body.


    Since he could not figure it out, Ye Yuan might as just not think about it. Keeping away White Light, Ye Yuan simply mediated to cultivate together with Ye Hang while quietly waiting for Yuan Fei to recover.


    In a blink, one night passed. Yuan Fei suddenly snapped open his eyes and stood up.


    "Young Master, I''ve recovered!"

 Chapter 192: Such a Fine Dog!

    Chapter 192: Such a Fine Dog!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Song Family''s Family Head, Song Tian Ying arrives!"


    "Pill Condensing Manor''s Manor Lord, Jiang Xin arrives!"


    "Wang Family''s Family Head, Wang Jia arrives!"


    . . . . . .


    In front of the Drunken Star Manor''s gates, a steward repeatedly reported names in a loud voice.


    Large family''s patriarchs, peers of the alchemy world, martial artists currently in the limelight, and notable figures in the capital virtually all converged at the Drunken Star Manor!


    "Haha, for Song Family Head to grace us with your presence, you''re really showering glory on our humble abode! Quickly come inside and sit!"


    "Aiyo, isn''t this Jiang Manor Lord? Long time no see, long time no see! Please come in, please come in!"


    Wan Dongyang welcomed guests at the entrance and was awfully busy.


    Anyone could tell the delight on Wan Dongyang''s face.


    Even though Wan Dongyang was verbally courteous, that haughty air made these distinguished aristocrats feel somewhat displeased.


    However, no matter how unhappy they were, they had no choice.


    Because from today onwards, the Drunken Star Manor would be the indisputable king of the State of Qin''s alchemy world!


    Even the Imperial Family would likely have to be dependent on the Drunken Star Manor!


    Because the Imperial Family had to nurture talents, so they had no choice but to purchase the Drunken Star Manor''s medicinal pills. If not, their young generation would fall behind the other families.


    Most importantly, it was to fall behind the Su Family!


    Everybody already deemed that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would vanish from the capital from now on. This force that was propped up by the Imperial Family to impede the Drunken Star Manor would completely dissolve!


    But they had no choice. To launch three new types of medicinal pills in one move, the impact it had toward the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was seriously too great!


    Therefore, Wan Dongyang had the right to be high and mighty!


    "Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s Pavilion Lord, Ye Hang arrives! Imperial Uncle Nanfeng Lou, Eldest Princess, Nanfeng Ruoqing arrives!" the steward called out loudly once again.


    Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence that Ye Hang actually arrived at virtually the same time with the Nanfeng family representatives.


    When organizing such a glorious event, whoever arrived first or later was not on a whim.


    Although those who entered prior to this were prominent figures in the capital, when compared to the characters who appeared now, they were insignificant.


    It should be said that the earlier one arrived, the smaller the force. The later one came, the heavier the weight they carried.


    Logically speaking, the Imperial Family''s representatives should be the last to arrive. But now, Nanfeng Lou was not the last to reach, because the Su Family''s representative had yet to come!


    Wan Dongyang saw Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing and hastily went up to pay respects. "Wan Dongyang pays respects to Imperial Uncle, pays respects to Eldest Princess!"


    Nanfeng Lou furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "Where''s Wan Donghai? I represent the arrival of the Imperial Family. Doesn''t he, the owner, know how to come out to welcome people?"


    Towards Nanfeng Lou''s displeasure, Wan Dongyang behaved like he did not see it. He just flashed an apologetic smile and said, "Calm your anger, Imperial Uncle. There are too many guests today. Elder Brother has his hands completely full and truly cannot free himself. Hence, he arranged for me to be here to welcome Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess."


    "Such impudence! This State of Qin is still under the regime of the Nanfeng Family, and your Wan Family already dares to be so unbridled?" Nanfeng Lou was enraged when he heard that.


    "Haha, Imperial Uncle can also see it; there are seriously too many people at this Pill Grading Assembly. This is also the first time our Drunken Star Manor organized such a major event, so we really don''t have any experience. If there are any areas where we did not receive you well, please be magnanimous enough to forgive us, Imperial Uncle. Although I, Wan Dongyang, am not the owner of the Drunken Star Manor, I''m still born from the same mother as my Elder Brother; the Second Owner of the Drunken Star Manor. Being here to receive Imperial Uncle is also justifiable, right?"


    Wan Dongyang''s smirking look made Nanfeng Lou so incensed that smoke was coming out of his orifices.


    Within the secular world, the imperial power was supreme.


    Nanfeng Lou was the Emperor, Nanfeng Yi''s blood uncle. He represented the entire Imperial family. No matter how busy Wan Donghai was, he should also be here to welcome Nanfeng Lou right now.


    However, Wan Donghai avoided meeting him. This was clearly showing one up on the Imperial Family.


    This Pill Grading Assembly today had other motives!


    "Humph! Looks like the Drunken Star Manor really makes light of the Imperial Family! Since that''s the case, Qing-er, let''s go!" Finishing, Nanfeng Lou really flicked his sleeves and left.


    But Wan Dongyang did not have the slightest intention of stopping. He just smiled and watched Nanfeng Lou leave.


    "Hang on, Imperial Uncle."


    Right then, a slightly tender voice sounded out. It was Ye Yuan who tagged along with Ye Hang. When Nanfeng Lou heard this, he paused his footsteps.


    Nanfeng Lou was clearly also an alchemy fanatic. He basically had no experience on how to handle such situations.


    This situation was directed against the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion on the surface, but in reality, it was pointing straight at the Imperial Family. This fact was clear at a glance for those with discerning eyes.


    If there was nobody present from the Imperial Family today, that would be equivalent to stepping back without even fighting.


    Those people inside might not be loyal to the Imperial Family, but in the human world, it had always been the word ''benefits'' that reigned above. There was not much difference to them who became the emperor.


    Therefore, even if the Wan Family continued putting them down, Nanfeng Lou must not leave!


    The Imperial Family must have somebody present in this Pill Grading Assembly. Or else, those fence-sitters who were kept in the dark would really lean towards the Su Family!


    When Nanfeng Ruoqing saw that it was Ye Yuan, she also could not help being slightly surprised. She was also caught off-guard by this situation happening under her eyes and did not know what to do. Just as she was wavering on whether to leave or not, Ye Yuan called out timely.


    "What you do want to say, little child?" Nanfeng Lou asked with a frown.


    Ye Yuan ignored Nanfeng Lou. Instead, he copied the steward''s voice and called out loudly, "Su Family''s Family Head, Su Yulin arrives!"


    Wan Dongyang''s face changed while others were a little unsure, only to see Wan Donghai walking out in quick strides with a wide beam on his face.


    Except, when he just came out, the grin on his face froze right there.


    Seeing Nanfeng Lou and Ye Hang, Wan Donghai immediately knew that he fell for it!


    Sweeping a glance over everyone''s face only to see Ye Yuan looking at him merrily, Wan Donghai''s face fell. It was this brat''s doing again!


    He already came out, so it was naturally not nice to go back in. He could only toughen his scalp to come forth to pay respects.


    "Wan Donghai pays respects to Imperial Uncle, pays respects to Eldest Princess. Dongyang, seriously you; Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess arrived, why didn''t you call me?" Wan Donghai did not give other people a chance to speak and lectured Wan Dongyang straightaway.


    Wan Dongyang instantly understood and condemned himself as he said, "It''s all my fault, owner. I saw that you were too busy back there and had no time to receive guests, so . . ."


    "Shut up! Are Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess ordinary people?" Wan Donghai reprimanded as he turned to Nanfeng Lou and said, "My younger brother does not know any better. Imperial Uncle, please don''t find fault."


    Nanfeng Lou was about to speak when Ye Yuan started laughing loudly. "Manor Lord Wan, it''s truly a waste for you to not become an actor. Hahaha, you''re killing me! Hahaha, the two of you singing and chiming along together really cracks me up!"


    Wan Donghai''s face darkened. He was well aware that this brat had a sharp tongue. The more he spoke, the more he will be dragged into the gutter, so he might as well just ignore him.


    However, Ye Yuan clearly did not have the intention of letting him off. He continued laughing and said, "Manor Lord Wan, you''re such a fine dog. The moment you hear your owner arrived, you immediately ran out obediently. Just now, inside there, were you perking up your ears just to listen?"


    "Ye Yuan, Imperial Uncle and Eldest Princess are present. How can your insolence be tolerated!" Just a few sentences and Wan Donghai was on the verge of exploding again.

    Chapter 193: Don��t Interfere With My Posturing!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Haha, Wan Donghai, you''re really ballsy! You actually dare to talk this way to a Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple?" Ye Yuan suddenly kept away his smile and said icily.


    Wan Donghai''s expression changed when he heard that. He really forgot that Ye Yuan had already obtained the status of a Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple!


    A Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple was even more exalted than a secular world emperor!


    If there were no accidents, many of those among the core disciples would end up taking on important sect positions in the future!


    In front of Ye Yuan, what did he, Wan Donghai, even count as?


    "What? Could it be that in Manor Lord Wan''s eyes, that master of yours is even more exalted than me, the high sect''s core disciple? I''ve already stood here for a long time, and you don''t even know how to come out to greet me!" Ye Yuan became fiercer as he spoke.


    Wan Donghai''s old face became like a chameleon, changing multiple colors already.


    He loathed in his heart!


    Even though he knew that this was Ye Yuan assuming the majesty of the tiger, there wasn''t the slightest bit he could do to him.


    Ye Yuan''s present identity was overly sensitive!


    In front of so many people, how could Wan Donghai dare be disrespectful to the high sect''s core disciple? If he really did that, then even if he got rid of Ye Yuan, if the matter reached the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he, Wan Donghai, would die a thousand times over!


    The power of a sect was simply unimaginable to the secular world. As an Alchemy Grandmaster, Wan Donghai was naturally even more deeply aware of this point!


    "En? Could it be that I, the high sect''s core disciple, is still lacking the status for you to pay respects?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Wan Donghai gritted his teeth and was about to pay obeisance when a voice sounded out. "You haven''t even entered the sect yet. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is really overbearing! Which rule in the sect allows disciples to abuse power and bully others?"


    Everyone turned around when they heard that only to see three people arriving jointly; two elderly and one young.


    The two elderly were not others, but precisely Su Yulin and Su Yubai, and that young one walking in the center could also be considered an old acquaintance of Ye Yuan''s. Who could it be other than Yang Hao?


    That voice just now was precisely uttered by Yang Hao.


    When Wan Donghai saw Yang Hao, it was like he was granted amnesty. He hastily went forward to pay respects. "Wan Donghai pays respect to Mister Yang!"


    Yang Hao casually waved his hands to motion Wan Donghai to rise. He then said to Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you''re the one in the wrong here. When we, sect disciples, go outside, we have to win people over by virtue. How can we force others to pay obeisance?"


    The current Yang Hao had recovered that sort of high and above attitude, compared to what happened during their previous encounter.


    Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just looked towards Yang Hao''s back as if he was looking for something.


    Yang Hao could not help being puzzled. He followed Ye Yuan''s sight to the back but did not see anything. However, he quickly realized what Ye Yuan''s meaning was, and his old face involuntarily turned red as he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.


    This was a threat! A blatant threat!


    If Ye Yuan were to tell the events of the fire battle in front of so many people, what face did he have left to stay on?


    Forget about staying here, he could not even stay on in the State of Qin!


    A high-rank Alchemy Master battling fire with a low-rank Alchemy Master, and the result was being burned by him until his behind was exposed. The majesty of him, this Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciple, would become non-existent!


    Furthermore, a veteran core disciple who actually could not even win a newbie who had yet to be initiated. What kind of gaze would others look at him with?


    The crowd was uncertain, so they also followed Ye Yuan''s eyes to look over, but did not discover anything. They did not know what Ye Yuan was trying to mystify.


    However, they saw Yang Hao''s expression and knew that there was definitely something that happened between the two of them.


    It was just that Ye Yuan kept smiling like this without saying anything. They also did not know what medicine he was selling in his gourd.


    Doing nothing but just looking!


    "Ye Yuan, if you dare to speak of that matter, I guarantee that you will die a horrible death!" Yang Hao transmitted his voice to threaten.


    "Aiyo, I''m timid. Don''t scare me, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang! I have a problem. Once I''m intimidated by someone, I can''t control my mouth. If I were to spill the beans, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang mustn''t blame me," Ye Yuan replied through transmission.


    "You! Truly despicable! Fine, what do you want so that you won''t say a single thing?" Yang Hao had no choice but to give in.


    "Uh, haven''t thought of it yet. For now, don''t interfere with my posturing and that will do. I had a hard time before I made it through the Nine Heavens Road and obtained core disciple status. You got to at least let me posture here in the secular world. Otherwise, when I arrive at the sect, I''ll be at the bottom of the barrel. Even if I want to posture then, I wouldn''t be able to," Ye Yuan said.


    ". . . Fine, I won''t talk." Yang Hao finally chose to compromise, so he could only come to terms.


    The crowd also saw that these two people were transmitting their voices, but nobody knew what on earth the pair were talking about.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s face turned frosty again, and he said to Wan Donghai, "Wan Donghai! You haven''t come to pay respects. Do you really want to slight the high sect?"


    Another large charge clamped down on him, but this time, Wan Donghai did not lose his head like before, because there was still another core disciple around!


    Wan Donghai looked at Yang Hao with eager eyes, but Yang Hao had an icy face as he said, "What are you staring blankly for? Go and pay respects! Could it be that this Yang Hao''s Junior Apprentice Brother is not worthy for you to pay respect to?"


    Gah?


    What sort of situation was this?


    Everyone was stunned!


    Ye Hang, Nanfeng Lou, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Su Yulin and his brother were all collectively stunned!


    What the hell was this? Wasn''t the change in attitude too quick?


    Wasn''t he still prepared to exchange blows with Ye Yuan just now? Why did the wind direction change in a blink of an eye and he became apprentice brothers with Ye Yuan?


    Of course, the one who was the most stunned was still Wan Donghai.


    He had just prepared to straighten his waist. Now, he had to bend back down.


    Oh, this old waist . . .


    Seeing no action taken by Wan Donghai for some time, Yang Hao said impatiently, "What? Didn''t you hear what I say, Manor Lord Wan?"


    "Ah? I . . ."


    Wan Donghai was so stifled. He fought with Ye Hang for so many years without even paying obeisance to each other. But now, he had to show deference to his son.


    "You what you, hurry up! Are you still planning on holding this Pill Grading Assembly or not?" Yang Hao said with a frown.


    Wan Donghai knew that he could not avoid this, so he gritted his teeth and gave Ye Yuan a deep bow. "Wan Donghai pays respect to the high sect''s core disciple, Mister Ye!"


    Ye Yuan chortled and said, ''Quickly rise, Manor Lord Wan. This bow of yours really humbles me greatly!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan suddenly turned to Su Yulin and said with a smile, "Su Family Head, isn''t it your turn?"


    Su Yulin was stupefied. He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually point the gun barrel at him. When he reacted, he could not help bursting into a rage.


    As a matter of fact, his Su Family''s position in the State of Qin was indeed much higher than the Wan Family''s. But in front of a colossal behemoth like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the Su Family and Wan Family were no different.


    Ye Yuan was using his status as the high sect''s core disciple to pay respects now. If he were to not show deference, wouldn''t that be willful disobedience?


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan could very well be the murderer who killed Su Yishan!


    Asking him to pay respect to the enemy who killed his son? That was impossible!


    "Don''t go too overboard, Ye Yuan! I haven''t even settled the scores with you about Yishan''s matters!" Su Yulin roared angrily.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, his gaze floating over to Yang Hao''s behind again.


    Yang Hao was about to crumble. He said in a low voice, "Su Family Head, it''s just paying respect. You also won''t lose a piece of flesh! By right, you should pay respect to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye!"

 Chapter 194: Inciting Public Sentiment

    Chapter 194: Inciting Public Sentiment


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Su Yulin''s face turned green. He looked towards Ye Yuan with eyes brimming with killing intent, as if he was looking at a dead man.


    With Su Yulin''s relations, he could, in fact, ignore Yang Hao.


    But what Yang Hao represented was not himself, but Yao Qian behind him!


    Today''s matter was excessively important. To the Su Family, it could not afford any slightest room for error. If he were to lose the entire game due to offending Yao Qian, then he, Su Yulin, would be the sinner of the Su Family.


    Thinking up to this point, Su Yulin simply shut his eyes and gave Ye Yuan a bow. "Su Yulin, pays respect to the high sect''s core disciple, Mister Ye!"


    Su Yulin deliberately dragged out the ''Ye'' to express his displeasure.


    But Ye Yuan did not mind. He chuckled and said, "Looks like the Su Family is still very respectful towards my Tranquil Cloud Sect. Not bad, not bad! Hey, it''s getting late, what''s everyone still standing here for? Standing until my legs are already aching. Manor Lord Wan, is this your way of treating guests?"


    Wan Donghai was so furious in his heart!


    Just who was the one making a displaying of might and delaying everyone from going in?


    Now that you finished posturing, you even say that your legs are aching?! I''ve never heard of any Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist whose legs ache after standing a while!


    "Mister Yang, Brother Yulin, please!" Wan Donghai shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan and then said to Yang Hao and Su Yulin.


    The group of people headed for the inner hall. Nanfeng Ruoqing''s and Ye Yuan''s eyes met as they smiled and also went in.


    . . . . . .


    The Drunken Star Manor specially opened up an enormous hall just for today''s grand event. It was enough to house all the big and small families in the capital.


    This spectacle was even grander than the Imperial Family''s state banquet. It clearly already surpassed that.


    But at this time, nobody was paying heed to these anymore. After today''s exchange, there would surely be one side who must withdraw from the stage of history.


    After Su Yulin and the rest sat down, Wan Donghai went to the center of the great hall. He spoke in a clear voice, "Everyone, today, the aim of our Drunken Star Manor organizing this Pill Grading Assembly is to promote our State of Qin''s medicinal pill business! Next, I would like to introduce a distinguished guest to everyone first."


    Speaking up to this point, Wan Donghai paused to create suspense.


    Indeed, those aristocrats looked towards Yang Hao, because he was seated in the most prominent position!


    Everybody was speculating just who this young man was, to actually seat in the seat of honor above Nanfeng Lou and Su Yulin.


    And those two person''s faces were calm as if they were not at all unhappy.


    "This person hails from the high sect, core disciple Mister Yang. He represents the high sect this trip to cheer on this Pill Grading Assembly of ours!" Wan Donghai introduced loudly.


    With Wan Donghai''s introduction, the audience burst into an uproar.


    Tranquil Cloud Sect core disciple. This identity was too illustrious!


    No wonder he could seat above the Imperial Family and Su Family.


    Don''t look at how these people could summon wind and rain in the State of Qin. In all of their years, they might not have really met anyone who came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "No way? The Wan Family can actually call down a core disciple from the high sect? There''s probably going to be a good show to watch today!"


    "Hehe, a high sect core disciple coming to pay tribute to the Wan Family. There is much food for thought involved in this."


    "Could it be that the high sect is already displeased with the Imperial Family? Originally, today was only to come and view the new medicinal pills. To think that something like this actually happened! I wonder how the Nanfeng Family is going to handle this big introduction from the Su Family!"


    "Who cares! We''re all merchants; what we pursue is benefits. As long as there''s money to be made, who cares whom the emperor is? My goal of coming here today is to seize the power of agency for the new medicinal pills!"


    "Humph! I''m definitely getting these new medicinal pills'' distribution right!"


    "Heh heh, then to each his own! I''ve already put down an arm and leg for today''s Pill Grading Assembly. How can I possibly lose to you?!"


    For some time, there were clamors among the nobles.


    When Su Yulin saw this scene, he involuntarily felt great satisfaction.


    He planned for so many years. Finally, he could realize his ambition!


    Once Yang Hao, this big move, was executed, it was equal to him winning half the battle!


    What Yang Hao represented was the Tranquil Cloud Sect. If even the Tranquil Cloud Sect supported him, there should not be a need for him to waste his breath on which side these people should stand on, right?


    Su Yulin''s gaze swept around but finally landed on Ye Yuan, his complexion turning icy involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have sensed something and looked towards him, even flashing him a grin.


    Not knowing why, being looked at like that by Ye Yuan made Su Yulin feel uneasy.


    Su Yulin had a feeling that the greatest variable today would lie with Ye Yuan!


    Su Yulin also could not verbalize why he had this sort of feeling, but he just felt that the threat from Ye Yuan was even greater than Ye Hang''s!


    This sort of feeling was very unusual. Ye Yuan clearly only had Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation. He simply could not join in the conflict between Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    But why was this sort of feeling still so intense? Was it because of Ye Yuan''s performance outside?


    Although Ye Yuan also had core disciple status now, he was simply incomparable to Yang Hao.


    Even if Ye Yuan flashed his identity, Su Yulin also had ways to make a comeback!


    "Cough, cough, everyone! Quiet down!" Wan Donghai made a silence gesture with his hands. After the great hall quieted down, he said in a loud voice again, "Mister Yang is the high sect''s Pill Hall elder''s, Yao Qian''s, disciple! Elder Yao and Elder Ouyang are bosom friends! Today, for Mister Yang to come for the Pill Grading Assembly, this Wan expresses my heartfelt gratitude!"


    Another huge commotion!


    Even though everyone had some speculations, with Wan Donghai saying it out, it still made everybody draw in a cold breath.


    In many people''s hearts, the scales had already completely tipped over to the Su Family''s side!


    This was likely the greatest calamity faced by the Nanfeng Family since the establishment of the State of Qin!


    Countless people''s gaze looked over to Nanfeng Lou, their eyes filled with sympathy.


    They were aware that the Nanfeng Family also had ties to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. But they were totally negligible compared to the entire Pill Hall!


    "No way? What does Wan Donghai mean? Could this be the high sect''s Pill Hall showing their attitude in wanting to dispose of the Nanfeng Family?"


    "Unlikely! Without extenuating circumstances, the high sect won''t intervene in the secular world''s replacement of the imperial authority! If the Su Family had the support of the entire Pill Hall, then it probably wouldn''t be just one core disciple who came. They would also have no need to host this Pill Grading Assembly!"


    "En, what you said is right. But even so, this influence borrowed by the Su Family is also too strong!"


    "Yeah! The Nanfeng Family is in danger this time!"


    Just two sentences from Wan Donghai already smashed apart all the hopes of the Nanfeng Family.


    Nanfeng Lou sat in the position beneath Yang Hao, his expression looking very ugly. Even Nanfeng Ruoqing beside him also did not look too good.


    This move from the Su Family was too ruthless!


    Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing were seized with a sudden impulse to look at Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan flashed his identity, would it be of aid to this situation?


    The pair exchanged glances, but Nanfeng Ruoqing shook her head slightly.


    It was true that Ye Yuan obtained core disciple status, but he had not even entered the sect yet. Even if he revealed his identity, it would not help things at all.


    The terror of Yang Hao''s identity did not lie in him being a core disciple, but in the Pill Hall behind him!


    Under this sort of circumstances, what should be done? Nanfeng Ruoqing could not but to panic secretly.

 Chapter 195: Three New Types of Medicinal Pills!

    Chapter 195: Three New Types of Medicinal Pills!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Yang Hao sat at the seat of honor in a lofty manner.


    In his eyes, these secular world people were just a bunch of ants.


    As his gaze swept through the faces of those nobles, there were either nervousness, or at a loss, or excitement, all the facets of humanity, so on and so forth. It made him feel like he was overlooking all life.


    Finally, his gaze swept over to Ye Yuan who was opposite him, and his face involuntarily froze up.


    The mood which just got a little better instantly vanished with a puff.


    This fellow was really hateful! However, he most likely would not survive today either way!


    Thinking up to here, Yang Hao could not help feeling secretly pleased.


    A core disciple who had yet to enter the sect was killed in a secular world conflict. With the addition of his master and Elder Ouyang covering up in the middle, the outcome would just be left inconclusive.


    Right then, Wan Donghai continued, "I think that before everyone came today, you''ve already heard about the contents of today''s Pill Grading Assembly. That''s right. Today, our Drunken Star Manor will be launching three new types of medicinal pills never before seen on the market. The launch of these three new kinds of medicinal pills will be the beginning of a new era for our State of Qin''s alchemy world! Now, we will be uncovering the mysterious veil of these three new kinds of medicinal pills!"


    One had to admit, apart from alchemy, Wan Donghai''s ability to inciting public sentiment was not something that Ye Hang could compare to.


    In contrast to Wan Donghai, Ye Hang lacked a portion of worldly sophistication and had more personal charisma.


    Yes, the reason why the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could still hang on until now under the Drunken Star Manor powerful attacks was due to Ye Hang''s personal charisma!


    From the day Ye Hang took a step back until today, not a single Fragrant Medicine Pavilion employee left the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!


    If both parties were to swap positions, the Drunken Star Manor would have probably collapsed long ago.


    However, as the saying went, ''as virtue rise one foot, vice rises ten.'' Wan Donghai''s operating methods were inexhaustible. This was also the reason why the Drunken Star Manor could steadily suppress the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    But today, the stirring by Wan Donghai''s words was no doubt lethal!


    Wan Donghai went to the table arranged in the center of the great hall. On the table, three exquisite jade trays were laid out. The jade trays were covered using a red cloth so the objects on them could not be seen clearly.


    But everybody knew that what was placed on these three jade trays were those three new types of medicinal pills!


    These three kinds of medicinal pills captured everyone''s hearts!


    Wan Donghai held the jade tray on the left-hand side in his hands and gently removed the red cloth covering on top of it, revealing three gray colored medicinal pills.


    "I believe that everyone isn''t a stranger to the Qi Returning Pill. To martial artists, Qi Returning Pills are a necessity! These few medicinal pills in my hands are the new and improved Qi Returning Pills. Its name is True Qi Returning Pill! The True Qi Returning Pill''s essence energy recovery speed is 50% greater than the Qi Returning Pill!"


    When Wan Donghai''s words fell, the scene immediately exploded.


    "Oh my god! 50%! If this True Qi Returning Pill was launched, wouldn''t all the Qi Returning Pills in my shop be unsellable?"


    "Sigh, after today, we''re all going to become the Drunken Star Manor''s vassals!"


    "Just one True Qi Returning Pill already have such effects. I really don''t know what the other two types of medicinal pills are."


    Unequivocally, improving medicinal pills was exceedingly challenging. To raise the effects of the Qi Returning Pill by 50%, as long as the price was not overly absurd, once the True Qi Returning Pill was launched, it would surely monopolize the market!


    Coupled with the Essence Gathering Pill, the Drunken Star Manor could just wait to open their doors and count money in the future. The other forces were basically screwed already.


    Hence, for these merchants to survive, they could only be reduced to the Drunken Star Manor''s vassals, becoming their agents!


    This way, their stalls would basically become the Drunken Star Manor''s branch.


    Wan Donghai smiled faintly and placed the True Qi Returning Pill in his hand down. He lifted up the middle jade tray to give another introduction.


    "The medicinal pill placed on this jade tray is not an improved version, but a newly invented type of medicinal pill! Its name is Essence Converting Pill!" Speaking up to here, Wan Donghai purposely slowed his words and came to a halt.


    Indeed, once people heard that it was a newly invented type of medicinal pill, they immediately could not resist.


    "Stop beating around the bush, Manor Lord Wan! Quickly tell us what the medicinal effects of this Essence Converting Pill are already!"


    "Yeah, Manor Lord Wan! Just what on earth is the use of this Essence Converting Pill?"


    . . . . . .


    Wan Donghai saw that the time was almost right before saying with a smile, ''The medicinal effects of this Essence Converting Pill is to raise the cultivation of Essence Qi Realm martial artists by one realm unconditionally! However, a martial artist can only use it once in their lifetime. Consuming it again will not have any effects at all."


    "No way, right? Unconditionally raising an Essence Qi Realm martial artist''s cultivation by one realm? This is too exaggerated, right?"


    "You aren''t lying to us, Manor Lord Wan?"


    "Are you kidding? When martial artists begin cultivation, it has always been about accumulating essence energy. I''ve never even heard that there are such medicinal pills! This is too preposterous!"


    Nobody believed Wan Donghai''s words.


    People were like this. Once something surpassed their boundary of understanding, they would instinctively choose to not believe.


    Wan Donghai smiled and said, "I know that everyone has doubts about the effects of the Essence Converting Pill. Hence, I''ll test this medicinal pill right now in front of all of you!"


    Right at this time, a Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm martial artist walked out. He took an Essence Converting Pill from Wan Donghai''s hands and directly consumed it.


    At this moment, the entire hall was abnormally silent. Everyone''s eyes were focused on that martial artist!


    Only Ye Yuan yawned lazily and was unconcerned over this.


    "Yuan-er, why do I feel like you aren''t worried at all? If this Essence Converting Pill really has such an effect, it''s greatly detrimental to us!" Ye Hang transmitted.


    Although Ye Hang was very confident in his son, after hearing Wan Donghai''s introduction, his heart was still somewhat drumming right now.


    This was only the second type of medicinal pill. There''s still the third type of medicinal pill which had not been released, and it had already spell bounded virtually all of the influences in the State of Qin.


    This sort of situation was not something he hoped to see.


    Even though he had the Explosive Yuan Pill in his hands, Wan Donghai had four types of medicinal pills over here! Even if he could monopolize the Explosive Yuan Pill market in the future, he would also hold an absolute inferior position in the aspect of True Qi Returning Pill and Essence Converting Pill.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Hur hur, don''t need to worry, Father. Only these fellows who can''t tell good from bad will take this sort of defect good to be a treasure."


    "Defect good?" Ye Hang asked in surprise.


    "En, this Essence Converting Pill indeed has the effects of raising cultivation realm. But its side-effect isn''t small either. Wan Donghai taking this stuff out is seriously just scamming people!" Ye Yuan said.


    "This Essence Converting Pill has side-effects?" This time, Ye Hang was even more surprised.


    "That''s right. After taking this Essence Converting Pill, the martial artist''s meridians will suffer a certain degree of damage which will affect future cultivation speed. However, this sort of damage isn''t obvious. Ordinary people can''t detect it. But when it''s time to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm, their success rate will lower tremendously. Instead, it would be much lower than martial artists who cultivate up normally!" Ye Yuan explained.


    Ye Yuan once spent his lifetime to research Tier 3 and below medicinal pills, and among medicinal pills, those with the greatest number of varieties and most widely used was naturally first-order medicinal pills.


    This Essence Converting Pill was basically something Ye Yuan left behind. He was naturally crystal clear on the medicinal effects of the Essence Converting Pill.

 Chapter 196: Unfurling the Map to Reveal the Dagger

    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "If that''s the case, then isn''t Wan Donghai cheating people? Also, this sort of side-effect, it will be discovered sooner or later, right?" Ye Hang asked with a frown.


    "Uh, actually, this sort of side-effect isn''t much to those noble family disciples. As long as they take some meridian recovery medicinal pills, it can completely be repaired. Or, taking medicinal pills which increases the success rate when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm also works. As long as they break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, the martial artist''s body functions will have a huge improvement. These hidden dangers will naturally also be cleared up then. After all, it''s only a Tier 1 medicinal pill. A little side-effect isn''t insurmountable." Ye Yuan explained.


    When Ye Hang heard that, he said helplessly, "You said it so easily! External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are hard to get rid of. It''s not that there are no meridians recovering medicinal pills, but each one of them is worth a fortune! It''s likely even above this Essence Converting Pill! Calculating this way, the loss outweighs the gain! As for medicinal pills which increases the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm, although I know many alchemists wish to refine them, but up till now, I''ve never seen them before."


    Ye Yuan gave a mysterious smile and said, "If I guess correctly, this third type of medicinal pill is probably something that increases the success rate of Spirit Condensation Realm! Heh heh, this Pill Hall planned really well!"


    Ye Hang''s face changed, and his gaze could not help shifting over to that not-yet unveiled jade tray.


    If what Ye Yuan said was true, then this third kind of medicinal pill was going to be amazing!


    Such a medicinal pill was sufficient to shake the foundation of the Imperial Family!


    Putting aside all the martial artists under the heavens, just in the State of Qin, how many martial artists were stuck at the threshold of peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, unable to breakthrough?


    One could imagine just what kind of demand it would face once this sort of medicinal pill was released!


    Ye Hang himself knew that medicinal pills to assist in breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm definitely existed. It was just that in this sort of place like the State of Qin, it simply did not have the capability to issue this kind of medicinal pills.


    However, Ye Hang also knew that Ye Yuan definitely knew the refinement method for this type of medicinal pills!


    Ye Hang sucked in a deep breath and said, "Yuan-er, it''s all on you today!"


    "Don''t worry, Father! If I can''t even get this done, then I would have wasted Master''s laborious efforts!" Ye Yuan said perfectly composed and collected.


    . . . . . .


    Right at this time, an essence energy storm suddenly howled forth in the great hall. That martial artist testing the medicinal pill really broke through to the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm!


    Marveling exclamations sounded out in the great hall!


    "Hur hur, everyone has also seen the medicinal effects. There''s no need for me to add on, right? Now, let''s introduce the third type of medicinal pill."


    Wan Donghai did not give much of an introduction about the Essence Converting Pill. He believed that the scene just now already gave everyone enough shock.


    He lifted the third jade tray and unveiled the red cloth to introduce. "This third type of medicinal pill is today''s d��nouement medicinal pill! This third type of medicinal pill is called Rising Spirit Pill! It can increase the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm by 20%!"


    "What? Increase the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm by 20%? Is there a mistake?!"


    "There . . . There''s . . . actually such a miraculous medicinal pill?"


    "Manor Lord Wan! How much is this Rising Spirit Pill! I want to buy ten!"


    "Manor Lord Wan, I also want to purchase! The more, the better! Oh, right, and also the Essence Converting Pill and True Qi Returning Pill, I also want!"


    Everybody could not sit tight anymore. These three new kinds of medicinal pills launched by the Drunken Star Manor today simply subverted the knowledge of all the people sitting here!


    Even though many people sitting here were mentally prepared and knew that the new medicinal pills launched by the Drunken Star Manor today were not ordinary, they could not have imagined that it was so extraordinary!


    These people all left their seats in succession, encircling Wan Donghai in the center, fighting to converse with Wan Donghai.


    At this moment, nobody bothered with the Su Family and the Nanfeng Family contending for imperial authority. What they were concerned with was how to purchase the Drunken Star Manor''s medicinal pills!


    They all knew that the Drunken Star Manor absolutely would not provide this sort of medicinal pills endlessly!


    With these three types of medicinal pills, what could the Nanfeng Family use to hold the hearts of these aristocrats?


    Ye Yuan watched this scene and could not help sneering as he said, "Snatching so fervently for stuff weeded out by other people. A bunch of fellows who have not seen the world!"


    His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but the surrounding few people heard it loud and clear.


    Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing were somewhat bewildered, but Yang Hao''s and Su Yulin''s facial expression totally changed!


    "Ye Yuan, what''s the meaning of what you just said? You say that these medicinal pills were developed by others?" Nanfeng Ruoqing asked curiously.


    "Otherwise? With the likes of Wan Donghai that numbnuts, can he invent this kind of medicinal pills? These medicinal pills are clearly formulas that he got from some other place! Other than sect forces, what other places could possibly have these pill formulas? Furthermore, if these aren''t pill formulas sifted out by the sect forces, you think that Wan Donghai can get to see them? Would he dare to take over?" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing mused over it. This was really the case.


    However, even if they were pill formulas eliminated by the sect, bringing it into the secular world was also sufficiently startling!


    With just these few pill formulas, the Su Family could already overthrow the Imperial Family!


    If the Imperial Family lost the support of these big and small families, the Su Family virtually did not need to make any moves, and they could take down the Nanfeng Family without drawing blood!


    "Humph! How much do you know about sect matters? Even if the pill formulas were eliminated by the sect, it''s enough to stun the world!" Yang Hao snorted coldly.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders as if he was too lazy to dispute.


    Yang Hao''s blow landing on cotton made him incredibly depressed.


    But at this time, Ye Hang could not sit still too. He was just about to go down when Ye Yuan held him back.


    "Don''t be anxious, Father. Wan Donghai hasn''t finished executing his plays yet. Let him play first," Ye Yuan transmitted.


    "En? What other means are there?" In terms of scheming, Ye Hang was evidently inferior to Wan Donghai.


    "Hur hur, Father will know when you continue watching," Ye Yuan said while smiling.


    Wan Donghai was presently surrounded in the middle by people, but nobody really dared to get close to him.


    After all, he was a Crystal Formation Realm expert. Even if he was an alchemist, these people dared not bump into him.


    However, the crowd was speaking incoherently, nearly drowning him in spittle.


    "Stop making noise! Not a single one of these three types of medicinal pills will be sold to you all!" Wan Donghai suddenly shouted.


    "What? Manor Lord Wan, such incredible medicinal pills and you''re not selling. Don''t tell me that you want to watch a treasure mountain?"


    "That''s right, Manor Lord Wan. You didn''t organize this Pill Grading Assembly just for us to covet it, right?"


    Wan Donghai waved his hands and said, "Everyone return to your seats. This Wan has something major to discuss with everyone!"


    When they heard it, their hearts jumped with a start, thinking to themselves, it''s here!


    They were towed by Wan Donghai just now, blindly fighting over the medicinal pills, and forgot about today''s Feast at Hong Gate. 1Now, seeing Wan Donghai said that, it was most likely time to unfurl the map to reveal the dagger!


    Without any accident, Wan Donghai was going to force them to make their position known!


    Everyone returned to their seats with ugly expressions, weighing out just how they should deal with this front today!

    "Manor Lord Wan, speak then. What conditions do you want before you''re willing to sell us these medicinal pills?"


    At this time, an aristocrat spoke. It was very clear that these medicinal pills Wan Donghai took out moved him greatly!


    However, his question also voiced out the words in everyone''s hearts.


    Wan Donghai gave a slight smile and slowly said, "Speaking of which, these few years, our State of Qin''s national strength has always been leaning to the weak side. Among the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, we''re already in the lower-middle position. I wonder if after so many years, has anyone ever reflected on it?"


    When the crowd heard that, they thought to themselves that it had indeed come!


    These words from Wan Donghai were piercing criticisms! National strength growing weak, who was to be blamed? Couldn''t have been their fault, right?


    Of course, it was the Imperial Family''s fault!


    Many people''s gaze shifted over to Nanfeng Lou''s direction.


    "I keep feeling that our State of Qin''s forces are too scattered and does not form an effective alliance! If we, these forces, can ally together to form a synergy, we can definitely make the State of Qin strong! Now, we have the Essence Gathering pill, True Qi Returning Pill, Essence Converting Pill, Rising Spirit Pill, so many medicinal pills. It''s enough to let even more martial artists grow stronger!"


    Speaking up to here, Wan Donghai paused for a bit. Sweeping his gaze one round across the entire great hall, he said loudly, "Therefore, I suggest to establish a State of Qin Alchemy Alliance! Integrate all the influences together to bring about an even stronger State of Qin!"


    When Wan Donghai''s speech ended, Nanfeng Ruoqing could not hold back any longer. She immediately stood up and said furiously. "Wan Donghai, are you rebelling?"


    Towards Nanfeng Ruoqing''s accusation, Wan Donghai was not overly surprised. He just smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Eldest Princess? I''m only saying to found an Alchemy Alliance to strengthen our State of Qin''s power. Rather, as the Imperial Family, how many things have you done for the State of Qin these few years? Mm?"


    "That''s because . . . because . . ." Nanfeng Ruoqing did not know how to answer.


    It was an irrefutable fact that the Imperial Family was declining!


    Not that the Imperial Family did not wish to grow stronger, but because the Su Family''s obstruction was too powerful. Nanfeng Yi was overly cautious in taking action, which resulted in the State of Qin''s situation today.


    When it came down to it, the Su Family was the main culprit!


    But this was an open secret! All in all, it was still because the Imperial Family themselves were not powerful enough!


    In this world, it had always been the strong who reigned supreme while the weak were destined to be eliminated!


    "Because of what? Hur hur, Eldest Princess also can''t say it yourself? Us, the subjects, provide taxes for the Imperial Family, leaving the Imperial Family without the need to care for necessities. But what have the Imperial Family brought us?"


    "These years, the country is prosperous, and the people are at peace. The citizens live a prosperous and contented life. Isn''t this all thanks to the Imperial Family?" Nanfeng Ruoqing said crossly.


    "This was just peace on the surface! Even though we are people in the secular world, this is the world of martial artists! In the world of martial artists, it has always been the weak who are food while the strong feasts! Other countries grow stronger while our State of Qin grows weaker. In the future, the outcome can only be being swallowed up by other countries! Eldest Princess, tell me whether what I said is correct or not?" Wan Donghai said with a cold smile.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing was speechless because what Wan Donghai said was the truth!


    However, the Nanfeng Family was not doing nothing these few years!


    Why did Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou conceal their identity and cultivate in the Dan Wu Academy? That was for the rise of the Nanfeng Family!


    Nanfeng Ruoqing''s talent in the alchemy path was incomparable. She had the qualifications to enter the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago! But she had always stayed in the academy because she hoped to make the Imperial Family stronger through her efforts!


    Why did Nanfeng Zhirou train so desperately? She similarly wanted to let herself become strong to protect the Nanfeng Family, to protect the State of Qin!


    However, the Su Family pressed on at every step, and now, they finally revealed their fangs!


    Yet, the Nanfeng Family had not matured yet!


    "Everybody! As long as you join the alliance, we can enjoy the resources together! The merchants of the alchemy world can represent to sell the medicinal pills refined by the Drunken Star Manor! Families and martial artists who join the alliance can enjoy corresponding discounts when purchasing alliance medicinal pills according to their contribution level! I wonder if everyone is pleased with such conditions?"


    Wan Donghai finally threw out a heavyweight bomb!


    The allure of these terms was not an ordinary kind of big.


    One could imagine, with the Drunken Star Manor possessing these four kinds of medicinal pills, they would hold a complete monopoly in the State of Qin in the future.


    If merchants in the alchemy world did not join the alliance, then they would not obtain the channel to get these medicinal pills. What awaited them was only one result: bankruptcy.


    Martial artists and family clans needed to nurture their own strength/forces. Their requirements towards medicinal pills were extremely huge!


    Undeniably, the prices of these few medicinal pills would surely be very high. Especially the Rising Spirit Pill. It would definitely be so high that it would be to quite a ridiculous extent!


    Even so, there would likely still be countless martial artists going after it in flocks!


    Even though it only increased the success rate by 20%, how many martial artists were struck at this checkpoint in the entire State of Qin?


    There were many people who were only lacking just a 5% success rate which made them unable to breakthrough realms, resulting in years slipping by 20% success rate was enough to let many Essence Qi Realm martial artists breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Even those Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm without any hopes of a breakthrough, wouldn''t they wish to give it a shot?


    Hence, these two conditions thrown out by Wan Donghai was too alluring!


    However, many of these aristocrats were still quite fearful of the Nanfeng Family. Many of them exchanged looks and whispered to one another, discussing countermeasures.


    Wan Donghai was not anxious either. He waited patiently for everyone''s reply.


    Ye Hang was in a big hurry when he saw the situation and wanted to move out again, but was stopped by Ye Yuan again.


    "Father, such a lovely show; how can you not finish watching it? When watching a play, watch the full show!" Ye Yuan transmitted.


    "Still watching? Continue watching, and they will all seek refuge from Wan Donghai and Su Yulin already!"


    "Of course we got to watch! Such an excellent opportunity, how can it do if we don''t get a clear view of these people''s faces? Of course, it doesn''t matter to me, but the Nanfeng Family will probably start a major cleansing after this incident, right? If we don''t let Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing see clearly, how will they know who to clean off when the time comes?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan say this, Ye Hang finally calmed down. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again became somewhat different.


    Ye Hang really did not imagine that his son had already grown up to such an extent!


    As a father, he was still looking at the things in front of him, but his son actually already saw the distant future!


    Looking back at it now, virtually every one of Ye Yuan''s actions had deep meanings. Even he, his father, could not quite see through his own son anymore.


    Right then, someone finally made a sound!


    "Manor Lord Wan, my Wang Family is willing to join the alliance!" The one who spoke was precisely the Wang Family''s Family Head, Wang Jia.


    But he had just spoken when someone immediately voiced out criticism. "Wang Jia, you shameless thing! Your Wang Family received imperial graciousness for generations, yet you''re the first one to defect to the enemy today!"


    The one who spoke was a family head who was die-hard loyal to the Imperial Family.


    "Humph! A fine bird selects its tree, a good subject chooses whom to follow! Go ahead if you want to follow the Nanfeng Family to die together!" Wang Jia said brazenly.


    With Wang Jia stepping out here, it immediately acted like a fuse. There were scores of people expressing their standpoints.


    "My Lin Family also joins the alliance!"


    "I, Song Taoge, joins the alliance!"


    . . . . . .


    In moments, there were actually more than half of the family clans or influences who chose to join the alliance!

 Chapter 198: Ye Hang Makes a Move!

    Chapter 198: Ye Hang Makes a Move!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "You all! You all! The Imperial Family has always been good to you. Is this how you repay us?"


    Nanfeng Ruoqing was so infuriated by these unfeeling wolves that she was shaking. She really did not expect that the Imperial Family''s painstaking efforts in peacetimes were actually unable to withstand this bit of temptation of benefits.


    "Eldest Princess, their joining of the alliance is also to strengthen the State of Qin. Why must you be like this?" Wan Donghai said hypocritically.


    "Humph! Don''t get cocky, Wan Donghai! Imperial Brother has long made preparations and won''t let your wicked plans succeed! Su Yulin, at this time, are you still going to hide behind and watch the show? Isn''t it also time to jump out?" Nanfeng Ruoqing stared at Su Yulin icily.


    But Su Yulin was currently resting with his eyes shut with a completely apathetic appearance as he did not pay attention to Nanfeng Ruoqing.


    Wan Donghai faced the guests and said, "Since everyone agreed to join the alliance, it''s now time to offer up a portion of strength for our Great Qin!"


    Everyone''s faces froze as they had a bad feeling as if they had boarded a pirate ship!


    However, these people were all wily spirits. Since they agreed to join this alliance, they obviously would not be na?ve enough to think that they could only enjoy the treatment and did not need to contribute.


    The price they had to pay was to have a decisive break from the Nanfeng Family!


    "The Nanfeng Family held the imperial position for a long time, but failed to keep forging ahead! Today, our State of Qin is tottering, and about to fall into a crisis. This Wan feels that we should choose another wise ruler to lead our State of Qin onto the road to a powerful nation!" Wan Donghai said loudly in clear voice.


    When he finished saying these words, everyone''s gaze looked towards Su Yulin. The wise ruler in Wan Donghai''s words was none other than Su Yulin.


    "I feel that Family Head Su has an illustrious reputation and his martial prowess is unparalleled. He can take the place of the Nanfeng Family!" Right then, a Su Family''s devotee opened his mouth to say.


    "Nanfeng Family, relinquish your position and abdicate!"


    "Family Head Su succeeds the rule!"


    Right away, these aristocrats were chiming in together, angering Nanfeng Ruoqing until her lovely body was trembling while Nanfeng Lou''s face turned green! Compared to the other party, the Imperial Family''s momentum over here was clearly much weaker.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing suddenly thought of something as she looked towards Ye Hang and son with an unkind face. This father and son pair were too quiet. They had actually yet to make a sound until now!


    Before coming, Imperial Brother already made it clear that today, Ye Hang would be standing on the Imperial Family''s side. But until now, there was no movement from Ye Hang at all.


    It was fine if there was nothing form Ye Hang, but with Ye Yuan and her relationship, could it be that he was going to watch helplessly as the Imperial Family was overthrown?


    Ye Yuan clearly also noticed Nanfeng Ruoqing''s gaze and could not help flashing a smile as he stood up to say in a clear voice, "Isn''t today the Pill Grading Assembly? Manor Lord Wan, why did you make everyone digress from the topic?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was released using essence energy, and it immediately blanketed everyone''s voice.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan made his speech, Su Yulin, Yang Hao, and the other''s heart involuntarily shook. They thought to themselves, it''s coming!


    What they feared today here were not Nanfeng Lou and niece, but Ye Hang and son pair. Yet until now, these two people had not even said a word! This was very abnormal!


    If Ye Hang had given up on the Imperial Family long ago, then he should not have appeared here today. But he arrived, and yet, did not speak nor cause trouble, allowing the Pill Grading Assembly progress until now. This left them somewhat scratching their heads in puzzlement.


    Wan Donghai was currently pleased with himself when he heard Ye Yuan''s unharmonious voice and instantaneously felt annoyed.


    "Ye Yuan, did you jump out at this time to be a clown? Everyone is already clear on the medicinal pills launched by our Drunken Star Manor. The Pill Grading Assembly also naturally came to a conclusion here," Wan Donghai said with a scornful look.


    Ye Yuan came to a state of realization when he heard that. "So, it''s only these few medicinal pills? I thought that it was some kind of incredible grand meet! Just these few trash pills and Manor Lord Wan also dares to take them out to showcase? Seriously unabashed to the limit!"


    "Hur hur, listening to the meaning of your words, does the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion have even better medicinal pills than these few types?" Wan Donghai asked in laughter.


    He did not believe that Ye Hang had some trump card in his hands. Or else, why would he wait until now? If he left seclusion a few days later, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion itself would have closed down.


    But Ye Yuan just smiled and said nothing. At this time, Ye Hang went forward and said, "The Pill Grading Assembly this time is also a grand meet hard to come by in a decade. Manor Lord Wan exhibited their Drunken Star Manor''s several types of new medicinal pills just now to let us widen our horizons. But curiously enough, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion also developed several new types of medicinal pills recently. Just in time to borrow this Pill Grading Assembly to let everyone appraise it."


    "Hahaha . . . I heard that you were in a retreat for over a month. It wasn''t to develop new medicinal pills, right? I really want to see just what kind of new medicinal pills Pavilion Lord Ye developed in this one month! However, Pavilion Lord Ye''s big talk is already said. In a while, it would not be easy to wind it up!" Wan Donghai said.


    Ye Hang said indifferently, "You don''t have to worry about that."


    Finishing, Ye Hang surveyed the surroundings and asked, "I wonder if there''s any Essence Qi Realm martial artist present who just happens to be stuck at a bottleneck, about to break through?"


    This question from Ye Hang made those aristocrats unable to refrain from exchanging glances.


    What was the meaning of this? Could it be that these new medicinal pills developed by Ye Hang could also breakthrough one realm unconditionally?


    But finding those martial artists stuck at a bottleneck, this sort of medicinal pill did not seem to have too much of a purpose?


    After all, it was not as difficult as imagined for Essence Qi Realm martial artists to breakthrough cultivation realms. As long as they used Essence Qi Pills or Essence Gathering Pills, they could push past the bottleneck no matter what.


    A middle-aged man opened his mouth to say, "Pavilion Lord Ye, my son is stuck at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm bottleneck. He told me that he''s only short of that last bit, but kept failing to find the opportunity."


    This Family Head was surnamed Huang, his name was Huang Hui. His son was called Huang Xuan.


    Many of those present brought along their younger generations. Such an occasion had absolutely enormous benefits towards the growth of the younger generations. They obviously would not let go of this chance to educate the juniors.


    Huang Hui brought his son in front of Ye Hang and said with clasped hands, "Pavilion Lord Ye wants to test medicinal pills, right? I wonder if my son fulfills this criterion?"


    Ye Hang swept a glance over Huang Xuan and said with a smile, "Not bad, 16 years old, peak Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm. Family Head Huang has a worthy successor!"


    "Haha, these words from Pavilion Lord Ye overwhelms me! Compared to your family''s Ye Yuan, my son is far too lacking!" Huang Hui said with a smile.


    Huang Xuan was also a student of the Dan Wu Academy. Huang Hui had more or less heard his son mention Ye Yuan''s performance in the academy.


    Even if he did not hear before, Ye Yuan''s Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation was also plenty to leave Huang Xuan far behind in the dust!


    Ye Hang gave a light smile and did not express any opinion. Ye Yuan''s excellence no longer required other people''s commendations.


    "Family Head Huang letting your son test the medicine, aren''t you afraid that this medicinal pill of mine has any side-effects?"


    "I believe in Pavilion Lord Ye!" Huang Hui only said this one sentence.


    "Alright. Since that''s the case, let your son swallow this medicinal pill, and let us witness the effects."


    Ye Hang put his hand out. The medicinal pill held in it was precisely the Explosive Yuan Pill!


    Huang Hui reached out to receive it and passed it over to Huang Xuan, saying calmly, "Xuan-er, take it!"


    "Yes, Father!" Huang Xuan actually did not have the slightest hesitation. He directly swallowed the Explosive Yuan Pill and started to circulate his powers to refine the medicinal strength.


    Several dozen breaths later, an essence energy storm howled inside the great hall once again!

 Chapter 199: Medicinal Effect of the Explosive Yuan Pill!

    Chapter 199: Medicinal Effect of the Explosive Yuan Pill!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm!


    After Huang Xuan consumed the Explosive Yuan Pill, he directly broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm!


    The effect was the best when consuming the Explosive Yuan Pill for the very first time. Hence, Huang Xuan directly burst through this minor stage bottleneck!


    However, this did not cause too much of a stir. With the earlier example of the Essence Converting Pill, everyone was not too surprised by this scene.


    "Ye Hang, the medicinal pill you devoted yourself to researching for a month was this? Are you thinking of using this sort of trash medicinal pill to defeat me?" Wan Donghai sneered incessantly.


    This Ye Hang entered closed-seclusion for a month, closed until he became stupid, right? Did he exit seclusion to be funny?


    Although this medicinal pill was not bad, compared to the Essence Converting Pill, it was far too lacking, right?


    That martial artist just now only just broke through to the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago. The Essence Converting Pill forcefully raised him up by a minor realm.


    And this medicinal pill Ye Hang took out needed to pick an Essence Qi Realm martial artist on the verge of breaking through. In contrast, it was way inferior!


    The other guests'' thoughts were about the same as Wan Donghai''s.


    Towards Wan Donghai''s mocking, Ye Hang turned a deaf ear to it and did not explain anything either.


    "Ye Hang, if you feel that causing trouble like this has any effects, then you''re too na?ve! Don''t you know that the trashier your medicinal pill is, the more it showcases the irreplaceability of my medicinal pill?" Wan Donghai continued to reprove him.


    "Too amazing! Simply incredible! This medicinal pill is simply inconceivable!"


    Right then, Huang Xuan who meditated to breakthrough finally awoken, and his first reaction after waking was a shock-filled face.


    Towards Huang Xuan''s exclaim, everyone was somewhat uncertain. Wasn''t it just breaking through a minor realm? What''s amazing about it?


    Just now, Huang Hui himself said that Huang Xuan had already touched upon the threshold of the Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm; only a step away from reaching the door.


    This medicinal pill might have randomly caused him to breakthrough. Was there a need to be so surprised?


    Huang Hui was also unsure and asked his son, "Xuan-er, what''s so inconceivable about this medicinal pill? You seemed to be on the verge of breaking through anyway, right?"


    Huang Xuan nodded and said, "I was indeed about to breakthrough, Father. But I was ultimately unable to burst past the threshold of Seventh Level Essence Qi Realm. But just now, after I consumed the medicinal pill granted by Honorable Uncle Ye, the breakthrough happened immediately without any extra effort! I''ve never seen before such an incredible cultivation medicinal pill. The medicinal effects of this medicinal pill are at least three times of the Essence Gathering Pill!"


    Huang Xuan was clearly very agitated. The impact that the Explosive Yuan Pill gave him was too big!


    "What? What did you say? This . . . This isn''t a medicinal pill to aid in breaking through realms? It''s just an ordinary cultivation medicinal pill?" Huang Hui asked in shock.


    "That''s right! The medicinal pill I consumed just now was the same as the Essence Qi Pill and Essence Gathering Pill; they are medicinal pills used in cultivation. However, this is no ordinary cultivation medicinal pill!" Huang Xuan corrected.


    Huang Hui and son''s conversation finally aroused the guests present here. Everyone started to call into question one after another.


    Everybody only knew now that this type of medicinal pill Ye Hang took out was simply not targeting at the Essence Converting Pill, but directed towards the Essence Gathering Pill!


    If this type of medicinal pill really had the medicinal effects stated by Huang Xuan, then forget about selling the Essence Gathering Pill!


    The medicinal effects of the Essence Gathering Pill were only 50% more than the Essence Qi Pill, while the medicinal effects of the Explosive Yuan Pill were three times of the Essence Gathering Pill!


    The disparity was too great!


    "Cultivation medicinal pill? This . . . How is this possible?"


    "Consuming a cultivation medicinal pill and you can burst through a minor stage bottleneck? What medicinal pill is so sick?"


    "The Huang Family didn''t collude with Ye Hang, right? Consuming a cultivation medicinal pill and you can break through realms. I won''t believe it even if you beat me to death!"


    "Ye Hang, even if you want to act, at least act a little more professionally, alright? This kind of shoddy drama, do you think that everyone is an idiot?" Wan Donghai said with a cold smile.


    When he heard Huang Xuan and his father''s conversation just now, Wan Donghai was also impossibly shocked. But he came around very quickly.


    It looked like Ye Hang was really at his wit''s end, even this sort of retarded drama play was used.


    Ye Hang did not explain anything. He just took out several pill bottles and placed them on the table. Inside were filled with medicinal pills.


    "I have twenty Explosive Yuan Pills here. You guys choose twenty Essence Qi Realm martial artists to come out. I''ll give each of them one each. How the medicinal effects are, what I say doesn''t count. Only what they say matters. Wan Donghai, if you aren''t assured, you choose the people yourself." Ye Hang said nonchalantly.


    Seeing Ye Hang so calm and collected, Wan Donghai was not so composed anymore.


    Could it be that this medicinal pill really had such heaven-defying effects?


    This was impossible!


    How could there be a cultivation medicinal pill with medicinal effects three times more than the Essence Gathering Pill!


    "Fine! Since you want to play, then I''ll follow you all the way! I want to see just whether or not this Explosive Yuan Pill or something is really so miraculous," Wan Donghai said coldly.


    Very soon, Wan Donghai picked out twenty Essence Qi Realm martial artists. There was even quite a number whose cultivation had reached the bottleneck among them.


    These twenty Essence Qi Realm martial artists were all juniors of the family clans or influences that joined the alliance. Among them, there were even half who were dead loyal to the Wan Family and Su Family. Wan Donghai felt that this was a bit more reliable.


    Ye Hang did not say anything else. He just issued an Explosive Yuan Pill to each person.


    After these Essence Qi Realm martial artists consumed the pill, they sat down individually to meditate and refine the medicinal strength.


    Then, everyone''s focus was gathered on these twenty martial artists. Whether Huang Xuan''s words were true or not, it could be seen in a while.


    After several dozen breaths passed, there was no movement from these Essence Qi Realm martial artists. Seeing this scene, Wan Donghai was even more certain that the scene just now was simply a two-party act performed by Ye Hang and the Huang Family father and son!


    In a twinkle, several more dozen breaths passed and suddenly, an essence energy storm howled inside the great hall again!


    Su Yulin''s, Yang Hao''s, and Wan Donghai''s face involuntarily changed. Somebody broke through!


    Ten breaths later, another essence energy storm raged around. Another Essence Qi Realm martial artist broke through!


    Then, there were people breaking through non-stop!


    The Essence Qi Realm martial artists that were chosen just now, as long as they were at the bottleneck, all of them would break through!


    Without waiting for these martial artists to finish refining, Wan Donghai grabbed hold of a junior who already broke through and asked impatiently, "Quickly tell me, is this Explosive Yuan Pill a cultivation medicinal pill or not?!"


    "This . . ." That junior''s facial expression did not look too good. He did not know how to answer.


    He knew that he was on the Su Family''s side, but was he going to admit the Explosive Yuan Pill was a cultivation medicinal pill?


    "You just have to tell the truth! Is it or not?" Wan Donghai said solemnly.


    Cultivation medicinal pills were very easy to identify. It could not be refuted just by these twenty people saying no. Lying did not hold any meaning at all.


    ". . . Yes!"


    Wan Donghai''s heart fell, and he tossed this junior aside. Grabbing another person, he asked, "You answer, yes or no?!"


    "This . . . is indeed cultivation medicinal pill!"


    "How is this possible? How can this be possible?" Wan Donghai muttered to himself, appearing somewhat battered out of his senses.


    "From today onwards, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will officially start selling the Explosive Yuan Pill! The selling price of the Explosive Yuan Pill is only 20% higher than the base price of the former Essence Qi Pill! Those who want to can go and place an order at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion after the Pill Grading Assembly ends!" Ye Hang said calmly.

 Chapter 200: Explosive Situation!

    Chapter 200: Explosive Situation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Only 20% higher than the Essence Qi Pill? Doesn''t that mean that it''s even cheaper than the Essence Gathering Pill?"


    "Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill is actually even cheaper than the Essence Gathering Pill! This . . . Ye Hang isn''t joking, right?"


    "Hehe, this is a compassionate business! I really don''t know how much black-hearted money the Drunken Star Manor earned using this Essence Gathering Pill!"


    Ye Hang''s words instantly blew up the whole audience!


    This period of time, the Drunken Star Manor relied on the Essence Gathering Pill to haul in quite a bit of money.


    Although the effects of the Essence Gathering Pill was only 50% higher than the Essence Qi Pill, its fixed price was twice of the Essence Qi Pill!


    Even though everybody knew that this price was too high, for martial artists, time was money. As long as they had the capabilities to bear the burden, they basically bought quite a number of Essence Gathering Pills from the Drunken Star Manor to provide for the family''s juniors to cultivate.


    But now, Ye Hang said that the fixed price of the Explosive Yuan Pill was only 20% higher than the Essence Qi Pill. Wasn''t this a blatant face-smacking?


    Those present were wily spirits. They were all quite clear on what this Explosive Yuan Pill meant!


    Explosive Yuan Pill was absolutely an epoch-making medicinal pill!


    This sort of epoch-making medicinal pill''s fixed price was actually so low. Who would come to the Drunken Star Manor to purchase Essence Gathering Pills?


    This move by Ye Hang was ruthless. It directly forced Wan Donghai all the way into the corner of the wall.


    Wan Donghai was so angry that his face turned green. His gaze when looking at Ye Hang was filled with killing intent.


    This way, who would come to the Drunken Star Manor to purchase Essence Gathering Pills?


    "Humph! Everyone listen well! Whoever goes to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to place an order for the Explosive Yuan Pill will be removed from the alliance and placed directly inside the alliance''s blacklist. Influences who enter the blacklist can forget about buying a single medicinal pill from the alliance!" Wan Donghai said with a cold snort.


    Wan Donghai''s words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing these people''s enthusiasm.


    Ye Hang was ruthless, Wan Donghai was even more vicious than him!


    Ye Hang only had Explosive Yuan Pill this one type of medicinal pill, but Wan Donghai launched three new types of medicinal pills today!


    And these medicinal pills were all medicinal pills necessary for cultivation. Who would dare say that they would not use it in the future?


    "Heh heh, Manor Lord Wan seems to be very confident in your medicinal pills! Do you feel that everyone have to purchase your medicinal pills?" Ye Yuan suddenly sounded out.


    Wan Donghai said with a cold smile, ''Isn''t that so? Don''t tell me you guys can still take out medicinal pills even more amazing than these three types of medicinal pills?"


    Just as Ye Yuan said, these three types of medicinal pills were sifted out from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. But Ye Yuan had not even entered the sect yet. Could he even know about those new medicinal pills?


    Ye Yuan chuckled, and a pill bottle appeared in his hand.


    "The medicinal pills inside this pill bottle can double essence energy recovery!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan took out another pill bottle and said, "This can raise a minor realm for Essence Qi Realms unconditionally and completely without any side-effects! That whatever Essence Converting Pill is nothing but an incomplete product. How dare you have the nerve to use this kind of trash to scam people!"


    Following that, Ye Yuan took out a third pill bottle and said, "The medicinal pills inside here can raise the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm by 40%. Well, who''s good and who''s lousy, there isn''t a need for me to say it, right? Now, do you still feel that those junk of yours are very useful?"


    Ye Yuan introduced three types of medicinal pills in one breath. With each speech, Wan Donghai''s face darkened a degree.


    If the medicinal pills within these pill bottles were truly as Ye Yuan said, wouldn''t him hosting this Pill Grading Assembly today become a joke?


    Not just Wan Donghai, the faces of everyone present were filled with astonishment!


    Wan Donghai''s introduction just now already subverted their understanding. True Qi Returning Pill, Essence Converting Pill, and Rising Spirit Pill. Each type of medicinal pill was ample to alter the setup of the State of Qin.


    But then, Ye Yuan casually took out three types of medicinal pills and directly knocked down those three types of medicinal pills.


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, the medicinal pills launched by Wan Donghai was basically garbage!


    "What a joke! You think that by casually taking out some medicinal pills, you can say that it''s better than mine? If these are the medicinal pills prepared by your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, then this is also too targeted at us, right? Before today, nobody even knew what kind of medicinal pills would be launched at the Pill Grading Assembly!" Wan Donghai said in a low voice.


    "I knew that you wouldn''t give up until all hope is lost!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snigger, took out a medicinal pill from the third pill bottle, and directly threw it to Yang Hao.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang, I wonder how is this medicinal pill of mine when compared to the medicinal pills developed by the sect for impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm?"


    Yang Hao reached out to receive the medicinal pill. A bout of herbal fragrance entered the nose. After sizing it up carefully, Yang Hao''s face involuntarily changed drastically!


    "Ye Yuan, where did you steal this True Rising Spirit Pill from?" Yang Hao questioned.


    From Yang Hao''s reaction, everyone knew that what Ye Yuan said was not false!


    At this point, those people who happily joined the State of Qin''s Alchemy Alliance were currently so full of regrets that their intestines turned green!


    If they knew beforehand that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would deal this kind of massive counter-attack, why would they join this lousy alliance?!


    No wonder Ye Hang and son watched Wan Donghai''s performance leisurely and calmly. They were just watching a joke!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Turns out that the sect calls this True Rising Spirit Pill huh. Rather fitting. However, don''t casually slander fellow disciples, Senior Apprentice Brother Yang. I haven''t even been to the sect, where did the word ''steal'' come from? This medicinal pill is refined by myself. If Senior Apprentice Brother Yang don''t believe, want me to refine one for you on the spot?"


    Yang Hao fixed onto Ye Yuan''s eyes, trying to see something. But he discovered that Ye Yuan''s eyes were very calm, without the slightest trace of guilt.


    Ye Yuan obviously did not have a guilty conscience.


    Before coming, Ye Yuan had long predicted the current situation. He refined a round of some commonly used Tier 1 medicinal pills and brought over a pile of medicinal pills.


    No matter what kind of medicinal pills Wan Donghai brought out today, Ye Yuan would completely crush him!


    This was still because Ye Yuan did not wish to be overly startling, which was why he only took out some medicinal pills that were inferior by a grade. If Ye Yuan took out the type of medicinal pills like the Spirit Surge Pill, he reckoned that before long, the Sect Leader of the Tranquil Cloud Sect would head over here personally.


    Ye Yuan estimated that with the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s level, it was roughly the standard of the True Rising Spirit Pill. That was why he took out these medicinal pills.


    "Humph! Ye Yuan, don''t get complacent too early! These few medicinal pills are very important to the sect, and now, you actually took them out in the secular world. After returning to the sect, I''ll definitely report to the upper echelons! You better think about how to face the interrogation from the upper echelons after entering the sect now! Now, are you going to surrender without resistance, or are you waiting for me to take you down?" Yang Hao said with a cold smile.


    When Yang Hao said this, the entire great hall instantly cooled down.


    Su Yulin who had his eyes shut to rest his mind this whole time suddenly opened his eyes. Radiant light shone in all directions.


    "Whoa, can''t win in alchemy and decided to switch to fighting huh? Senior Apprentice Brother Yang, I know that you were very unresigned with your loss that day. Thinking to take me down a peg on the Martial Path today, right? Hehe, if you have the capabilities, just come at me and try!"


    Ye Yuan''s degenerate look seemed to be completely clueless about the gradually tensing situation.


    Right at this time, the four Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses in the great hall were already tightly wound up. A great battle was about to break out at any moment.

 Chapter 201: Who Dares to Touch My Yuan-Er!

    Chapter 201: Who Dares to Touch My Yuan-Er!

    "Truly the ignorant is fearless! You aren''t thinking that because I''m an alchemist, my combat power is subpar, right? Today, I''m going to teach you just what kind of strength sect core disciples have!" Yang Hao said frostily.


    Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "I say, you''re annoying. Are the martial arts of core disciples all on lip service?"


    "You''re courting death, Ye Yuan!"


    Yang Hao already had enough of Ye Yuan''s provocation and could not hold back any longer. He made his move!


    "Great Thousand-Leaf Hand!" Yang Hao cried out in a low voice. A palm created illusions of countless palms, smacking towards Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Yang Hao make a move, everyone was secretly shocked!


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciple''s strength is indeed fathomless! This Great Thousand-Leaf Hand is a superior-grade Tier 2 technique, right? It has actually been cultivated to such a level by him!"


    "This move, I''m afraid that none of us Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists can receive it. I really dare not believe that this was unleashed by a youth who is not yet 20 years old!"


    "Isn''t he an alchemist? His martial path prowess is also so formidable! This time, Ye Yuan is in danger. He is only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, way too weaker than Yang Hao!"


    This move by Yang Hao quelled everybody!


    Among these people, the majority of them were Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, and there were even quite a number of peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    But when they asked themselves, they would also find it very difficult to gain an edge when facing this move from Yang Hao.


    The present Yang Hao was akin to transforming into a Thousand Hand Bodhisattva. Heaven cleaving and earth covering palms blotted Ye Yuan out!


    But Ye Yuan just looked at Yang Hao smilingly without any intention of making a move.


    Yang Hao came forth in a threatening manner and came prepared to deliver a blow which would heavily injure Ye Yuan. But he had yet to approach Ye Yuan when an extremely powerful aura surged face-on, stagnating all of his movements!


    "Ye Hang, your opponent is me! What kind of capabilities is acting in the way of the strong bullying the weak?!"


    This Crystal Formation Realm aura was precisely released by Ye Hang, but Wan Donghai naturally would not leave it unchecked. He also charged at Ye Hang right away!


    Ye Hang gave a cold chuckle. His essence energy suddenly erupted, his entire being becoming like a blazing fire.


    "Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!"


    Ye Hang waved a single hand. A fire dragon formed out of essence energy headed for Wan Donghai.


    Wan Donghai''s face turned ashen. With his Crystal Formation Realm strength, he actually had a feeling that it could not be overcome with force.


    In a hurry, Wan Donghai forcefully revolved his movement technique and barely evaded this blow from Ye Hang.


    However, although he avoided this attack, Wan Donghai appeared very ragged. He was brushed by the fire dragon, burning a large hole.


    At the same time, on the other side, this Great Thousand-Leaf Hand from Yang Hao was filled with boundless majesty. But with a mere flick of a sleeve from Ye Hang, a burst of incomparably powerful wind carried him to the side.


    With a crash, Yang Hao''s body slammed onto a table, scattering the food items on the table all over the floor.


    Ye Hang making his move stunned everyone with his technique!


    "You . . . You''re actually already at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm!"


    Wan Donghai was immensely shocked. A few days of not seeing him and Ye Hang actually already broke through to Second Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Not just that, his battle power was also not on the same level as before. That fire dragon move just now was so powerful that Wan Donghai did not even dare to clash against it!


    This move, Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was precisely the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s Mortal Chapter''s third accompanying martial technique. Its might was extremely powerful!


    Ye Hang had only just comprehended a modicum of it. Otherwise, it would not have been as simple as Wan Donghai getting a hole in his clothes earlier!


    Yang Hao crawled up from the ground, his entire body stained with grease, looking very scruffy.


    He pointed at Ye Hang and bellowed in rage. "You dare to make a move against a sect core disciple! You, this is provoking my Tranquil Cloud Sect! I think that you''re tired of living, right?"


    Ye Hang was expressionless as he said, "If you''re not a sect disciple, you would already be a corpse right now! Whoever dares to touch my Yuan-er has to be prepared to receive my wrath!"


    Ye Hang said these words with a vast killing intent. Coupled with his somewhat rugged outer appearance, it was truly overbearing.


    "You dare to provoke the sect for your son? Ye Hang, I''ll report today''s matter as it is to the sect. You just wait!" Yang Hao threatened.


    "You can also represent the Tranquil Cloud Sect with the likes of you? What a joke! Yuan-er is about to become a sect disciple. Compared to him, you''re far off! I don''t believe that the sect will deal with a genuine genius for a mediocre talent like you!" Ye Hang struck mercilessly.


    Hearing Ye Hang''s words, many people were secretly dumbfounded. They thought to themselves that this Ye Hang was indeed domineering!


    They knew that Ye Hang was famous for being protective of his son, but they did not think that he actually even dared to offend sect disciples for Ye Yuan!


    Yang Hao was so infuriated by Ye Hang that he was smoking from his orifices. As a sect core disciple, his identity was incomparably exalted in the secular world.


    Even if the ruler of a country were to meet him, they would be reserved and respectful.


    But Ye Hang did not give him any face at all!


    "Good! Very good! Ye Hang, you will pay the price for today''s actions!" Yang Hao gritted his teeth and said.


    At this time, Su Yulin who had been silent the whole time finally voiced out. "I really did not think that my greatest opponent today was actually you, Ye Hang! However, Ye Yuan must die today no matter what!"


    "Humph! Just bring it on! Want to touch my Yuan-er? Not unless you step over my dead body!" Ye Hang said with an icy snort.


    "Is that so? No need to step over your corpse. There will be someone to deal with you! Second Brother, you go and kill Ye Yuan! Leave Ye Hang to me, I''ll hold him! Wan Donghai, you go and handle Nanfeng Lou! Everyone listen up, as long as you follow me, Su Yulin, in the future, you will enjoy endless riches and glory! As long as you kill Nanfeng Lou and his niece, I''ll confer you a different surnamed princeship! Attack!" Su Yulin gave a loud cry, finally shattering the controlled situation.


    He originally wanted to control these aristocrats through medicinal pills, taking down the Ye Family father and son, and the Nanfeng Family without any bloodshed. He did not think that it would be completely ruined by Ye Yuan.


    The Su Family already pulled in quite a number of forces after these few years of painstaking planning. Removing those who were neutral, they would basically be evenly-matched with the Nanfeng Family.


    Over at Nanfeng Yi''s side, he already arranged a backup plan. As long as they took down Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing, the overall situation would be fixed!


    However, Ye Yuan must die!


    Because it was highly likely that Su Yishan died in Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Su Yishan was the son most highly regarded by Su Yulin. In order to nurture Su Yishan, Su Yulin expended a great deal of effort. But Su Yishan had not even grown up yet before dying in Ye Yuan''s hands. He would not let Ye Yuan go no matter what.


    Even if Ye Yuan presently already had core disciple identity, he still had not entered the sect yet.


    As long as there was Su Yuting mediating things in between, he believed that the sect should not blame him too much.


    After all, a dead genius was no longer a genius.


    A powerful aura was released, and Ye Hang''s face changed due to that!


    This Su Yulin actually also broke through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    This time, it was quite troublesome. Su Yulin and Wan Donghai were different. He was a pure martial artist with plentiful combat experiences!


    This was truly something unexpected.

 Chapter 202: Essence Energy Ignition!

    Chapter 202: Essence Energy Ignition!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Hang and Su Yulin participated in the Pill Grading Assembly, but in order not to draw attention, they deliberately suppressed their aura.


    Now that it abruptly erupted, the shock it brought everyone could be imagined.


    However, while Ye Hang was stunned by Su Yulin''s breakthrough, how was Su Yulin not surprised by Ye Hang''s breakthrough?


    Su Yulin originally thought that with his Second Level Crystal Formation Realm strength, it was sufficient to take control of today''s situation. But he did not think that Ye Hang, this variable, would pop out.


    Furthermore, from Ye Hang''s attack just now, it could be seen that his combat power was not as weak as the average alchemist!


    Therefore, he did not talk nonsense like saying stepping over Ye Hang''s corpse to kill Ye Yuan but gave this task to Su Yubai.


    "Ye Yuan, you didn''t imagine that you''re ultimately still going to die in my hands, right? Today, I''m going to use your fresh blood to hold a memorial for Su Yishan''s spirit in heaven!" Su Yubai said coldly.


    "You''re overthinking it! That time in the academy was your one and only chance. Once you missed it, there won''t be that chance ever again!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Is that so? If you include me?" Yang Hao said.


    "Your opponent is me! Ye Yuan, are you okay with dealing with Su Yubai?" Nanfeng Ruoqing blocked Yang Hao and asked Ye Yuan rather worriedly.


    No matter what, Su Yubai was a half-step Crystal Formation Realm. His strength was way high than Ye Yuan.


    "Piece of cake," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Humph! Blind, reckless fool! Go and die!" Su Yubai attacked Ye Yuan with the force of a thunderbolt.


    Ye Hang''s face turned cold. He was just about to move to stop it when Su Yulin rushed over!


    Helpless, Ye Hang could only turn around and match up with Su Yulin.


    "Yuan-er, you be careful! After father settles Su Yulin, I''ll come to save you!" Ye Hang only had the time to throw Ye Yuan one sentence.


    "Father only manage to deal with Su Yulin. It isn''t so easy for this old thing to want to kill me!"


    Ye Yuan also threw down a sentence. Activating Spirit Void Shattering Space, he drifted to dodge Su Yubai''s attack.


    At this moment, the entire great hall was already in great confusion. Both parties had completely sunk into a chaotic fight.


    However, what determined the final fighting outcome was still the matchup among the Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!


    As long as victory and defeat were determined between Ye Hang and Su Yulin, the scales of victory will tip towards the winning side!


    Su Yubai''s move missed, and he said with a cold sneer, "Trying to rely on movement techniques to shake me off? Na?ve! Aren''t you aware that half-step Crystal Formation Realm can train in Tier 3 martial techniques?"


    "Tranquil Soul Step!"


    Su Yubai gave a low cry, and his body actually vanished in thin air!


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle. A thick, bone piercing killing intent from the back.


    Without even thinking, he revolved the Nine Swords Stance. Nine Ye Yuans appeared at the same time!


    Boom!


    The floor of the great hall was sent flying by Su Yubai''s palm. Ye Yuan barely avoided this attack!


    "Humph! This move again! You really think that I can''t do anything about you?"


    Su Yubai snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared once more!


    "Heaven Flipping Palm, Overturning Heaven and Earth! Go to hell!"


    Su Yubai''s figure appeared on Ye Yuan''s flank this time, but the move become a large area-of-effect attack!


    Places where the palm wind swept through became bare! Forget about Ye Yuan only having nine silhouettes, even if there were 18 phantoms, they would also be struck by Su Yubai!


    Even though the power was not as great as before, it still left Ye Yuan''s nine silhouettes nowhere to hide!


    Overturning Heaven and Earth was the Heaven Flipping Palm''s ultimate move. It could only be executed after training to Great Circle rank.


    Su Yubai had already gradually progressed this move for several decades. Executing it was effortless.


    An enormous sense of danger came from the front!


    "Careful, Yuan-er!" Although Ye Hang was in a great battle with Su Yulin, he was ultimately unable to set his mind at ease about Ye Yuan''s side.


    While he knew that his son was no longer the person he was, compared to Su Yubai, his cultivation realm was too low in the end!


    "Humph! You''d better worry about yourself!" Su Yulin attacked with a palm, forcing Ye Hang to the point where his hands and feet were in a flurry.


    Ye Yuan already had nowhere to avoid this attack!


    "Essence Energy Ignition! Nine Swords Stance!"


    Rumble!


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s body was like it was immolating. The essence energy in his entire body was seething!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan actually did not dodge but activated the Nine Swords Stance at full power!


    Rapidly, nine streaks of sword beams fired out chaotically towards Su Yubai!


    Su Yubai was still immersed in the thrill of victory earlier, but now, his face changed greatly!


    Nine streaks of horrifying to the extreme sword beams actually passed through his palm wind just like that, shooting over swiftly!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Ye Yuan took a palm from Su Yubai solidly, his body flying out like a kite with a broken string.


    Su Yubai would never have thought that Ye Yuan would use this kind of internecine fighting method. Currently, he wanted to display his movement technique, but it was already too late!


    Su Yubai could only dodge on the spot!


    However, these nine streaks of sword light were incomparably dense. How could it be easy for him to dodge all of it?


    A severed arm suddenly flew up!


    Ye Yuan''s sword beam actually shaved off one of Su Yubai''s arm!


    Su Yubai barely managed to evade eight streaks of sword beams, but was unable to dodge this ninth sword beam!


    He utilized all the essence energy in his body to defend against this streak of sword beam, but this sword beam disregarded his half-step Crystal Formation Realm essence energy protection, chopping off one of his arms like breaking a dead branch from a tree!


    "AHH . . . !"


    A miserable cry echoed out. Su Yubai was in an agonizing pain.


    "Yuan-er!" Ye Hang clearly saw just now that Ye Yuan was sent flying. Forcing Su Yulin back with a palm, he wanted to free himself to go over.


    "Trying to leave? Not so easy! Hang on, Second Brother! I''ll come right away after taking care of Ye Hang!"


    Su Yulin latched onto Ye Hang persistently and did not have the intention of bothering with Su Yubai.


    Ye Hang was originally in the weaker position when facing Su Yulin. With Su Yulin entangling with him and not letting him go, Ye Hang essentially could not shake him off!


    "Go to hell, Su Yulin!"


    Being pestered by Su Yulin, Ye Hang was worried about Ye Yuan''s safety. Each move executed was a suicidal fighting style and actually suppressed Su Yulin for a moment!


    "Ah! My arm! Why? I clearly activated essence energy protection! Why was it still like this?"


    Su Yubai could not understand how could an attack unleashed by a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm possibly directly disregard his essence energy shield?


    That was just one streak of sword light!


    How could a sword beam fired out by a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm possibly sever a half-step Crystal Formation Realm''s arm directly?


    He did not know that when Ye Yuan released the Nine Swords Stance earlier, he used the complementing martial technique for the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Mortal Chapter''s Second Skill: Essence Energy Ignition!


    Essence Energy Ignition was not some amazing skill. Its specialty was to increase the might of martial techniques, causing the martial techniques unleashed by a martial artist to increase in power several times over!


    The Nine Swords Stance was originally an extremely powerful martial technique, even though it was limited by Ye Yuan''s realm and could not unleash its true power.


    But after the might of the Nine Swords Stance was increased multiple times, it was sufficient to kill the half-step Crystal Formation Realm Su Yubai!


    Su Yubai should be thankful that this streak of sword light did not hit his vital points. Or else, it would not just be a severed arm right now!


    "Ah! Ye Yuan! I''m going to kill you! Go die!"


    Su Yubai went berserk!

 Chapter 203: Unexpected Interference!

    Chapter 203: Unexpected Interference!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and half-step Crystal Formation Realm''s match. The result was actually both suffering a loss!


    "What the hell? How can Ye Yuan be so strong? Su Yubai is a veteran half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert. He actually had an arm chopped off directly!"


    "Yeah. A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm junior could actually defeat a half-step Crystal Formation Realm in a few rounds. Is this a joke?"


    "Is this really that trash Ye Yuan? He clearly did not even have a penny to his name not long ago, and now, he can actually already stand on the same level together with us, the older generation?"


    Everyone was speechless with shock. At Ye Yuan''s age, he should be forming ties with their sons and nephews in the same generation.


    But now, they had to admit that Ye Yuan was already on an entirely different level from their sons and nephews! Ye Yuan already possessed the strength to threaten, even kill some of them, the senior generation experts!


    To think that a 15-year-old youth was already on the same level as them. These people felt rather peculiar, but even more so, their inadequacy.


    What a fine son Ye Hang gave birth to! Many people sighed emotionally in their hearts.


    After Ye Yuan hit the ground, with a puhwark, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    He forcefully took a hit from the palm wind. All of his organs were currently in turmoil; all of them shifted places.


    Luckily, Su Yubai scattered the palm strength in order to hit him. Otherwise, the full power attack from a half-step Crystal Formation Realm, even if it was the palm wind, was also not something that the current Ye Yuan could withstand.


    Without the slightest hesitation, after hitting the ground, Ye Yuan fished out a medicinal pill to swallow and started healing his injuries.


    However, he did not dare to meditate to recuperate. This was a battlefield right now. If somebody were to seize the opportunity to give him a blow, he would be screwed.


    "I''m going to kill you, Ye Yuan!"


    Su Yubai''s roar shook until the roof nearly collapsed. It was evident just how furious he was at the moment!


    Su Yubai temporarily used essence energy to seal the wound and directly charged towards Ye Yuan.


    Su Yubai was only missing an arm which did not affect his movement. But Ye Yuan was presently heavily wounded. It was impossible for the circulation of essence energy to be as smooth as before.


    However, at this time, he could not be bothered with his injuries. He could only forcefully revolve essence energy to deal with Su Yubai''s pursue.


    The one-arm Su Yubai pounced over with immense speed, so fast that when he arrived in front of Ye Yuan, his figure vanished once again,


    Tranquil Soul Step!


    This footwork was fleeting and ephemeral; it was extremely hard to determine the person''s location!


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and displayed Spirit Void Shattering Space to the maximum, wanting to avoid this attack from Su Yubai.


    However, he suffered too heavy an injury in the end. His movement was not as agile as before.


    "I''m going to tear you to shreds, Ye Yuan!"


    An angry howl sounded beside Ye Yuan''s ear. This fellow ran behind Ye Yuan again!


    Bang!


    Under everybody''s astounded eyes, a figure flew out.


    Not Ye Yuan, but Su Yubai!


    Everyone only felt their eyes blur. A black-clothed martial artist blocked in front of Ye Yuan and looked indifferently at Su Yubai who had just flown out.


    "All right?"


    "Still okay. Won''t die. Luckily, you made it in time."


    "I truly did not expect that you achieved those lofty aspirations you said the other day so quickly. Truly remarkable!"


    "Hur hur, give me another month, and I wouldn''t look so miserable."


    "En, I think so too. But, there''s no need to waste time on this sort of people. You''re someone destined to do great things."


    "Haha, if he doesn''t die, I don''t have the mood to do great things! Oh right, I haven''t congratulated Teacher Huyan for breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm yet!"


    "Hur hur, isn''t it all thanks to you? Exercise your powers to recover. I''ll stand guard for you!"


    "En."


    This black-clothed martial artist was none other than Huyan Yong who broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm after consuming the Crystal Formation Pill!


    Back then, Huyan Yong was heavily wounded until he was coughing up blood after one hit from Su Yubai. But today, Huyan Yong sent Su Yubai flying with one blow. It could also be considered a greatly satisfying retribution.


    After obtaining Ye Yuan ''s Crystal Formation Pill, Huyan Yong had been in closed-seclusion without exiting these few days to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm at full force. He finally broke through the bottleneck yesterday and became a Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse.


    Huyan Yong spent an entire day to consolidate his realm and went to find Jiang Yunhe directly after leaving seclusion.


    Jiang Yunhe''s eyes nearly fell out after he saw Huyan Yong!


    Huyan Yong only said that he was entering seclusion, but he actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly after completing seclusion. Jiang Yunhe could not help but be surprised.


    Before Huyan Yong entered seclusion, he was only at the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    According to common sense, wanting to cross this threshold needed at least over ten years, to first experience half-step Crystal Formation Realm before he could improve a step further and cross this heavenly chasm.


    But now, Huyan Yong virtually broke through overnight. This was too unbelievable!


    However, Huyan Yong did not explain much to Jiang Yunhe. He told Jiang Yunhe that he wanted to go to the Pill Grading Assembly.


    Jiang Yunhe hesitated slightly before agreeing.


    In reality, he wanted to go too. But due to his identity and sect rules, it was not convenient for him to show up.


    When Huyan Yong rushed over to the Drunken Star Manor, he just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan and Su Yubai both heavily wounded, and his pupils involuntarily constricted. He could not have imagined that Ye Yuan had actually matured to such an extent.


    "Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse! Another Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse actually came! Who''s this person? I''ve no recollection of him."


    "Father, he''s our academy''s instructor, Huyan Yong. However, before I returned to the capital this time, he was still at the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How did he already broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm after not seeing him for several days?"


    "What? You said that he was still at the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm a few days ago? Not half-step Crystal Formation Realm? This . . . How is this possible?"


    "Absolutely not mistaken!"


    ". . . . . ."


    Huyan Yong''s appearance thoroughly shattered the present situation. The forces over on the Su Family''s side had thoughts of withdrawing after seeing Huyan Yong send Su Yubai flying with one palm.


    Su Yubai was sent flying with one palm by Huyan Yong, aggravating his existing injuries.


    However, what he was more shocked by was that Huyan Yong actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm! This fact intensified the shock.


    To Su Yishan, Huyan Yong was only a junior from the younger generation. Now, this junior actually overtook him. Such utmost mockery.


    "Huyan Yong! Y-You actually broke through! This is not possible!"


    "Thanks to Elder Su''s blessings, Huyan Yong broke through by luck," Huyan Yong said coolly.


    "Huyan Yong! What audacity you have! As the academy''s instructor, you actually intervened in secular affairs! You, this is violating the academy''s rules! I''ll highlight this to the dean and make him punish you severely!"


    "As the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder, Elder Su''s status and position are much more illustrious than mine. I wonder why you''re present here and even brutally exchanging blows with my student?"


    "Humph! I''m here today as a member of the Su Family! There has nothing to do with the academy!"


    "Is that so? This excuse of Elder Su''s is so forced! However, I''m only here today to protect my student. As the academy''s instructor, protecting the academy''s genius students, this is still acceptable, right? Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s identity is different from others. He''s about to enter the sect right away. If he suffers any mishap here, who dares to shoulder the responsibility?"


    Su Yubai was so angered that his face turned green.


    He knew that these words were just excuses eked out by everyone. If the sect were to really investigate into this, nobody could shoulder it.

    Chapter 204: I��ll Also Disclose a Revelation!

    With Huyan Yong guarding, Ye Yuan could rest at ease and circulate his powers to boldly refine the medicinal strength.


    As for Su Yubai and Huyan Yong''s crossing of verbal swords, he could not be bothered with it.


    In the martial artist world, it was never about talking. What it depended on was power!


    Huyan Yong broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm now. No matter how much Su Yubai mouthed off, it was also useless.


    Even to the sect, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were absolutely not chess pieces that could be randomly abandoned. Even if the Su Family lodged a complaint to the sect, it was also impossible for the sect to do anything to Huyan Yong just because of a word from the Su Family.


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists might not be considered much, but they were the core strength of the sect!


    Casually casting away Crystal Formation Realm martial artists was undeniably actions to cripple themselves.


    If it was not the most heinous of crimes, it was impossible for the Tranquil Cloud Sect to do this sort of thing.


    Furthermore, Huyan Yong''s age was even younger than Wan Donghai and Ye Hang. To step into the Crystal Formation Realm at this age, his future was undoubtedly very bright.


    The sect could not overlook this point.


    As for the strife for imperial authority in the secular world, it was essentially a trifling matter to the sect. No matter who became emperor, their portion of taxes would not diminish.


    "Halt!" Su Yulin forced back Ye Hang with a palm and shouted.


    Huyan Yong''s unexpected appearance made this entire situation become delicate. Su Yulin could not be bothered to tussle with Ye Hang anymore.


    Ye Hang was worried about Ye Yuan''s safety and naturally did not wish to tangle with him either. With a leap, he arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan currently mediating to recover and his complexion gradually turning from pale white to rosy, a large rock in his heart was put down.


    Su Yulin''s expression was not good. He fixed his eyes at Huyan Yong and said icily, "You said just now that you''re only here to protect your student, Ye Yuan?"


    "That''s right!" Huyan Yong did not deny that.


    "Does that mean that if we don''t make a move on Ye Yuan, you won''t intervene in today''s matters?" Su Yulin stared with Huyan Yong with burning eyes.


    "That''s the case." Huyan Yong said after thinking about it for a bit.


    "Then fine. You can bring Ye Yuan away now! Ye Hang, if you don''t mingle with today''s affairs, you can also leave! In the future, you can continue to operate your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in the capital. I absolutely won''t make things difficult for you!" Su Yulin said something which gave everyone a huge shock.


    Wan Donghai''s face changed greatly when he heard that and he hurriedly said, "Brother Yulin . . ."


    He was about to speak when Su Yulin stopped him.


    "Brother Donghai! Now are extraordinary times, so we have to use extraordinary means! As long as we take down the Nanfeng Family, can he, Ye Hang, even fight off us teaming up?" Su Yulin transmitted.


    Although Wan Donghai still had some misgivings after hearing it, he still gave in.


    Ye Hang did not say anything, but Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Lou could not stay still.


    "Don''t fall for Su Yulin''s trick, Pavilion Lord Ye! This is a tactic to delay under pretext! If the Nanfeng Family falls from power, they definitely won''t let you go!" Nanfeng Ruoqing said urgently.


    "Old Brother Ye Hang, we''ve had dealings for so many years already. Don''t fall for this kind of low-level fomenting!" Nanfeng Lou also said.


    Su Yulin gave a cold laugh and said, "Is that so? How much effort has Old Brother Ye Hang put in for your Nanfeng Family? But what have you all repaid him with? What can you give him in return?"


    "Pavilion Lord Ye, don''t listen to Su Yulin''s nonsense! He thinks that victory is in his hands, but does not know that Imperial Brother already made preparations. Imperial Brother has already gone to get reinforcements currently. Once reinforcements arrive, Su Yulin will definitely die without a burial place!" Nanfeng Ruoqing said.


    "Hahaha! Eldest Princess, the reinforcements you''re talking about isn''t the Great Qin Dragon Guards, right?" Su Yulin laughed wildly.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing''s face changed when she heard that!


    The Great Qin Dragon Guards were top-secret! How did Su Yulin know?


    "Is Eldest Princess very perplexed by how come I know about the Great Qin Dragon Guards? In order to deal with me, Nanfeng Yi secretly trained a division. This unit consists of 200 people, each of them possessing Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation! Truly a force so great that it makes others despair!" Su Yulin''s admiration was filled with ridicule.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing''s heart immediately sunk like a rock.


    A team formed by 200 Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists was enough to instantly kill Su Yulin!


    But, this secret weapon was known by Su Yulin beforehand. Then what would be the outcome?


    "You . . . How do you know so clearly?" Nanfeng Ruoqing asked with an ashen face.


    "Hur hur, how hard is that? This team only has 200 people. Is it strange for there to be one or two of my people inside?" Su Yulin said, proud of himself.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing''s face was the color of dirt as she asked, "You . . . you can''t have . . ."


    "That''s right. The 200 Great Qin Dragon Guards are already the Great Qin Dead Guards now! Just yesterday, my Su Family''s deathsworn surrounded the Dragon Mountain tightly to do a shooting fish in a barrel! They used five Seven-Stringed Mighty Crossbows to block the Great Qin Dragon Guards. Do you think that they still have any chances of survival?" Su Yulin said.


    When Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing heard that, they sunk into hopelessness.


    That was their final trump card. If even this final trump card was completely sunk, the Nanfeng Family was truly finished!


    Moreover, they did not feel that Su Yulin was lying to deceive them. The Great Qin Dragon Guards were top-secret in the Imperial Family. Even Nanfeng Zhirou did not know about this.


    The so-called trump card was a trump card because others did not know about them. But now, Su Yulin knew about it. How could he let the Great Qin Dragon Guards go?


    "Things have already reached this extent, might as well let your despair be more thorough!" Su Yulin''s words were filled with satisfaction.


    Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing exchanged glances. Their faces were pale because they thought about what these words from Su Yulin meant!


    Nanfeng Yi!


    Since Su Yulin knew about the existence of the Great Qin Dragon Guards, how could he possibly not target Nanfeng Yi?


    "Impossible! Imperial Brother is a Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse, and you''re also here. Who can you send to kill him?"


    "Heh heh, that''s why I said to let you two despair more thoroughly! These few years, the Su Family had always been Second Brother and me managing things. Has it already been far, far too long since you guys heard news about my big brother?" Su Yulin said with a cold sneer.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing did not have much of a reaction, but Nanfeng Lou trembled and asked in disbelief, "Su Yusen? How is that possible? He . . . Didn''t he die long ago?"


    "That''s right, he did indeed die. However, he died for your Nanfeng Family to see! Before my big brother faked his death, he already broke through to Second Level Crystal Formation Realm! It''s just that nobody knew about it! Now that over a decade has passed, he already broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm. He went to kill Nanfeng Yi. Do you guys feel that he has any possibility of survival? Hahaha!" The more Su Yulin talked, he more pleased with himself he was, and he could not resist chortling.


    When Nanfeng Ruoqing heard this kind of bad news, she staggered and nearly fell down, but was embraced by somebody.


    "Careful, teacher, it still isn''t time to despair yet." Ye Yuan gave Nanfeng Ruoqing a faint smile. He actually recovered already.


    Finishing, Ye Yuan looked at Su Yulin with a smile and said, "Since Family Head Su talked until you''re so happy, I''ll also disclose a revelation. At the Endless Forest, Su Yishan was indeed killed by me personally! I wonder if having heard this news, does Family Head Su still wish to let me leave?"

 Chapter 205: Fight for Myself!

    Chapter 205: Fight for Myself!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Su Yulin''s face suddenly changed. The pair of eyes looking at Ye Yuan seemed like they were about to spew fire.


    Speculation was one thing, but Ye Yuan confessing with his own mouth was another.


    Although all signs indicated that the possibility of Su Yishan returning alive was already very minute, as a father, he still hoped that his son could return safely.


    Or perhaps the few of them really did not bump into Ye Yuan in the Endless Forest or were tangled with some demonic beasts?


    But those fleeting words from Ye Yuan shattered that final trace of hope!


    "No way? Turns out that the Su Family and Ye Family''s enmity has already reached such a degree! Then didn''t Su Yulin''s soliciting earlier become a joke?"


    "Yeah! No wonder such an important occasion today, but Su Yulin did not bring along his son. Turns out that he was already killed by Ye Yuan!"


    "Sigh, this Ye Yuan is still young and rash in the end! The Nanfeng Family is already finished. Ye Yuan admitting that he killed Su Yishan at this time, Su Yulin will likely pursue this to the ends of hell! Even though the Ye Family temporarily took the upper-hand over here, when Su Yusen rushes over, all of them will probably still have to die!"


    If it were earlier, everybody naturally would not say that. But the Su Family still had a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm Su Yusen!


    Furthermore, Nanfeng Yi was clearly doomed. The Nanfeng Family can be considered to be thoroughly finished.


    Ye Yuan coming out to provoke Su Yulin at this time was no different from seeking death,


    "Good! Excellent! Ye Yuan, I really underestimated you! For today''s important matter, I was originally prepared to put aside Su Yishan''s vengeance first. Now, since you admitted to it, then let''s fight it out to the death today!"


    Anyone could tell the thunderous rage in Su Yulin''s words.


    "Haha, looks like this spice of mine is a little intense. Family Head Su is somewhat bewildered already! However . . . you aren''t na?ve enough to think that my father and I will really leave this place, right? I think you''re a little mistaken, my father and I standing here today are not to protect the sovereignty of the Imperial Family, but because of the irreconcilable feud of my Ye Family with your Wan Family and Su Family!"


    Ye Yuan''s words grew increasingly icier as he spoke and actually made everyone feel a chill without being cold.


    Curiously enough, he was clearly just a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, but the words spoken by Ye Yuan made everyone feel pressure.


    Ye Yuan''s words, no matter how one heard it, seemed to be somewhat treasonous and outrageous, with a subtle tone of slighting the Imperial Family.


    But when everyone thought of Ye Yuan''s sect core disciple identity, they understood.


    They originally thought that the Imperial Family and Ye Family were like ants on the same thread. Now, to them, the Ye Family were simply just fighting for themselves, and nothing to do with the Imperial Family.


    "Preposterous! Your Ye Family members didn''t even lose a hair, but Su Yishan already died in your hands. And now, you''re talking big about some irreconcilable feud. Aren''t you afraid of other people''s ridicule?" Su Yulin said with a cold smile.


    "I can stand here because I''m sufficiently powerful! Su Yishan dying in my hands is also him taking the road to ruin! Don''t tell me that you didn''t send people and Su Yishan together to kill me. It''s just that your son was useless and was killed by me instead! Also, Su Yubai, you ambushing me, a Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm with your half-step Crystal Formation Realm cultivation, has that old face of yours been eaten by dogs? Of course, this kind of things had no lack of your involvement, Wan Donghai, and your precious son, Wan Yuan. Back then, you set a trap for this Little Lord and nearly sent me to the netherworld! But you didn''t expect right that this Little Lord would profit from misfortune and have today instead! Hence . . . it''s time for us to settle this debt!" Ye Yuan detailed the crimes committed against him by the Wan and Su Families.


    Wan Donghai''s face changed when he heard that. He only knew today that it was actually related to the poisoning previously that Ye Yuan could rise up so rapidly.


    Although he did not know what transpired in between, without question, Ye Yuan obtained an extremely heaven-defying lucky chance!


    In just a few short months, Ye Yuan actually grew to an extent where he could threaten Su Yubai already. Such a lucky encounter, just thinking about it made people jealous!


    "No way, right? The Su Family and the Wan Family are too shameless. They actually used so many despicable and insidious means just to deal with a junior!"


    "Heh heh, Pavilion Lord Ye''s character is without question. He would never do this sort of despicable and shameless things. But with Su Family and Wan Family''s style, these sort of things are of no concern at all."


    "I really did not expect that this Pill Grading Assembly would actually evolve to such a situation. Initially, I thought that it would be the contention between the Su Family and Nanfeng Family, but in the end, it became Ye Yuan''s battle for vengeance."


    Although Ye Yuan''s words were said casually, those present were all old veterans. They knew deeply just how much danger and scheming Ye Yuan experienced behind the scenes.


    If these methods were targeted at Ye Hang, it was still fine. But to use them to deal with a junior, it was seriously too shameless.


    "Humph! Even with your blandishments, you can forget about leaving here alive today! Counting the time, it''s about there! You all just wait to die!" Su Yulin said with a cold snort.


    As the leader of the rebels, Su Yulin obviously not would acknowledge Ye Yuan''s words. However, he also knew that the more he tried to deny it, the worse it would seem. Therefore, he just lightly skated over it.


    History had always been written by the victor. As long as he secured the throne, he could naturally whitewash everything, sweeping away today''s events under the rug!


    However, Ye Yuan revealed a mocking smile on his face, making Su Yulin feel very displeased.


    "Yeah, counting the time, it''s almost ready! It''s just I wonder who will the one arriving?" Ye Yuan said with a beam.


    . . . . . .


    Slightly earlier, on the path linking the capital and the Dragon Mountain, a group of people was currently rushing towards the Dragon Mountain with hasty footsteps.


    In a center was a sedan chair with a yellow roof, carried by eight Essence Qi Realm martial artists.


    "Your Majesty, Dragon Mountain is right ahead!" A general-looking martial artist said to the sedan.


    "En, got it." Nanfeng Yi inside the sedan said nonchalantly.


    "Ah! What happened? This . . . This . . ." That general suddenly cried out and started stammering.


    Pulling aside the sedan''s curtain, Nanfeng Yi walked out from the sedan, only to see the corpse-strewn land; these were Great Qin Dragon Guard corpses!


    Nanfeng Yi knitted his brows, and his facial expression did not look too good. Those familiar with him knew that he must be in deep pain currently.


    These Great Qin Dragon Guards were nurtured by Nanfeng Yi after expending immeasurable effort. But now, they were completely annihilated. How could this not make his heart ache?


    "Who''s there? Protect his majesty!" the general bellowed.


    An elderly man came from the front with both hands behind his back, looking very composed.


    When Nanfeng Yi saw the arrival, his brows furrowed together again. He stretched his hand out to stop his subordinates'''' actions.


    "You are not his match. Everyone, leave. Don''t cast away your lives," Nanfeng Yi instructed.


    "No way! Your subordinate will protect Your Majesty to the death!" The general refused to leave no matter what.


    Nanfeng Yi grabbed hold of his collar with one hand and threw backward. That general flew out several hundred feet.


    "All get lost for me!" Nanfeng Yi said angrily.


    After his subordinates all left, Nanfeng Yi recovered his calm expression and said, "Didn''t expect it to be you!"


    "Didn''t think that you''re still a kind ruler. I thought that you would use your subordinates'' lives to exchange for a chance to escape!" the old man said with a faint smile.

 Chapter 206: Deep Bow!

    Chapter 206: Deep Bow!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Why do I have to escape?" Nanfeng Yi asked calmly.


    "Of course, it''s because I''m stronger than you! Haha, already at this time, are you still unwilling to let go of your emperor''s majesty?" the old man asked with a smile.


    "Didn''t think that the three of you brothers have already been planning today''s revolt over a decade ago. Su Yusen, you guys really plotted very well!"


    This old man was shockingly Su Yulin''s big brother, Su Yusen, a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse!


    "Haha, Your Majesty flatters me. If I didn''t fake my death, how can Your Majesty let the Su Family develop in peace?" Su Yusen had a look like everything was within his control.


    Nanfeng Yi nodded and said, "Speaking of it, ever since Su Yuting married into the Ouyang Family, it virtually ordained this situation today already. However, even if you all calculated everything, you probably couldn''t have calculated today''s variable, right?"


    Nanfeng Yi still had a calm and composed appearance, but his words were filled with derision.


    But Su Yusen did not mind. He smiled and said, "Isn''t Your Majesty too immature to want to use such words to scare this elderly self? Enough. Although I have lots of things I want to catch up with Your Majesty, I''m still quite uneasy about the situation over at the Pill Grading Assembly. Is Your Majesty going to end yourself, or are you going to make old me do it personally?"


    Nanfeng Yi chuckled, laughing very happily.


    "What are you laughing about?" Not knowing why, Su Yusen suddenly had a bad premonition.


    "I''m laughing because we''ve lived to ripe old age and schemed for half our lives, but in the end, we''re both not the main casts in this battle for imperial authority. However, what I''m more fortunate than you guys in . . . is that I got acquainted with Ye Hang," Nanfeng Yi said with a grin.


    "Ye Hang? You''re talking about that chess piece you''ve been using to suppress the Su Family, the owner of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? You mean to say that he''s the protagonist for this fight for imperial authority? What a joke!" Su Yusen wondered if Nanfeng Yi went insane.


    "You''re wrong! Ye Hang has never been my chess piece. It''s just that I happened to save both him and his wife back then. He only remained in the State of Qin''s capital to repay that favor. I just never expected that my unintentional action back then would actually become the linchpin to saving the Nanfeng Family today!" Talking about past events, Nanfeng Yi also sighed.


    15 years ago, Nanfeng Yi was merely still the State of Qin''s crown prince back then and had not broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm either.


    He traveled the world to broaden his horizons, and as chance would have it, he encountered the Ye husband and wife who were being hunted down in the neighboring State of Yan.


    At that time, Ren Hongling was in labor. Ye Hang who needed to protect his beloved wife and also needed to fight the enemies had already fallen into a hopeless situation.


    Nanfeng Yi came forward bravely at that time together with his accompanying guards and saved the Ye husband and wife. Because of this, that half-step Crystal Formation Realm guard of Nanfeng Yi''s even died in the State of Yan.


    Afterward, Ye Hang followed Nanfeng Yi to the State of Qin and settled down in the capital.


    Then, later on, the Su Family pushed Wan Donghai onto the stage. At this time, Ye Hang already broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm and became an Alchemy Grandmaster.


    Ye Hang resolutely stood up in order to repay that debt of gratitude and kept Wan Donghai in check.


    All of this was Ye Hang''s own accord. Or else, with his personality, how could he willingly slog for the Nanfeng Family for so many years?


    Except, Nanfeng Yi would never have thought that his unintentional actions back then not only exchanged for Ye Hang''s many years of spring-like repayment, it even obtained a feeble thread of hope for the Nanfeng Family today!


    "Ye Hang is merely just an Alchemy Grandmaster. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he also can''t save the Nanfeng Family''s decline! Furthermore, as long as you die, why does it matter even if the Nanfeng Family took the upper hand over at the Pill Grading Assembly? Could it be that Ye Hang can still rush over to save you now?" Su Yusen felt rather bewildered by Nanfeng Yi.


    "Hur hur, you''re mistaken. The protagonist I said is not Ye Hang, but his son, Ye Yuan! If not for him, I''d most likely not be able to escape death today!"


    "Ye Yuan?" Su Yusen stared at Nanfeng Yi. He was confident that Nanfeng Yi was already scared out of his wits. "Heh heh, a brat still wet behind his ears, and you actually treat him as your savior. Nobody can save you today!"


    Finishing, Su Yusen''s Third Level Crystal Formation Realm aura was released completely as he shot towards Nanfeng Yi.


    "Prepare to die, Nanfeng Yi."


    Right then, a white figure charged out from the forest and clashed directly with Su Yusen!


    Rumble!


    Su Yusen fell back over a dozen steps before managing to barely stabilize himself. Looking carefully, he saw a white colored ape blocking in front of Nanfeng Yi. Su Yusen''s face changed drastically.


    "Peak early-stage Tier 3 Long-arm Stone Ape! How is this possible?" Su Yusen''s eyes were full of disbelief.


    Just as Su Yusen was having doubts, several more dozen white silhouettes popped out. 49 Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes encircled him!


    Su Yusen lost in his astonishment had yet to know that he had already completely fallen into the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array!


    "Hur hur, when I saw Yuan Fei, my reaction was exactly the same as yours. Now, you should understand why Ye Yuan is the protagonist, right? Yuan Fei is Ye Yuan''s servant!" Looking at Yuan Fei, Nanfeng Yi was still secretly quite terrified.


    "How can a Tier 3 demonic beast possibly acknowledge a human as its master? This is absolutely impossible!" Su Yusen said in shock.


    "This is how the truth is! Moreover, Ye Yuan possesses an entire clan of Long-arm Stone Apes! He essentially doesn''t need my Nanfeng Family to make a move to eradicate the Su Family!"


    ". . . . . ." Su Yusen fell silent. He never thought that having concealed himself for over a decade, what he traded for would be this outcome today!


    "Humph! So what?! It''s just a Tier 3 demonic beast. I''m also Third Level Crystal Formation Realm. I might not lose to him!"


    After the silence, intense unwillingness made Su Yusen explode. He rushed towards Yuan Fei without caring about anything.


    His reply was Yuan Fei''s heaven-quaking blow!


    . . . . . .


    The capital. There was suddenly a commotion in the Drunken Star Manor.


    "Quickly look! Someone''s coming!"


    "En? Is-isn''t that His Majesty? He actually appeared here. Doesn''t that mean . . ."


    "Shhh! Softer! Do you want to die? I initially thought that the Su Family had victory in their grasp. Didn''t think that there would be a turnaround and the Nanfeng Family would actually gain a complete victory! Looks like time is not yet up for the Nanfeng Family! The Su Family plotted for over a decade, and it was actually such an outcome that was exchanged. Su Yulin is probably going to go insane, right?"


    Under everyone gaze, Nanfeng Yi slowly walked into the Drunken Star Manor.


    Seeing Nanfeng Yi, Su Yulin''s facial expression was as ugly as it could get.


    "Imperial Brother! It''s great that you''re fine!" Nanfeng Ruoqing could not help tearing from joy when she saw Nanfeng Yi.


    "Haha, thanks to Little Brother''s blessings, I escaped death from this great calamity," Nanfeng Yi said smilingly.


    Finishing, Nanfeng Yi came in front of Ye Yuan, cupped his hands, and gave a deep bow in front of everyone''s astounded eyes.


    "Thank you very much for Little Brother saving my Nanfeng Family! Please accept this bow from Nanfeng Yi!"


    Nanfeng Yi''s actions nearly made everyone''s eyes pop out!


    What kind of person was Nanfeng Yi? He was the emperor of the great State of Qin, a supreme existence!


    He actually performed such a solemn salute to a youth!


    Su Yulin clearly said just now that not only did his big brother not die, he even broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm successfully!


    Just what on earth did Ye Yuan do to actually bring Nanfeng Yi back without losing a hair?

 Chapter 207: Looks Canst Kill People

    Chapter 207: Looks Can''t Kill People


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Is there a mistake? His Majesty actually paid such great respect to Ye Yuan! Even though Ye Yuan is a monstrous existence, he''s only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm after all. Just what did he do?"


    "In our State of Qin, Third Level Crystal Formation Realm is an invincible existence! What kind of trump card does Ye Yuan have to actually bring His Majesty back safely? More importantly, His Majesty returned, but Su Yusen? That''s a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm. He couldn''t have . . ."


    "I really don''t dare to imagine just what kind of existence can kill a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist! Even if Ye Yuan had a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist on his side, Su Yusen could at least run away if he can''t beat him, right? Unless . . ."


    Unless . . .


    These people already dare not to picture it.


    To not even give a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm any chance to escape, what kind of existence was needed for that?


    But if there was such an existence over on Ye Yuan''s side, he completely did not need to fight so laboriously!


    The more they thought about it, the more they could not understand . . .


    But one thing was clear, they certainly could not treat Ye Yuan as a child anymore. He was already lording over everyone here!


    You got to be kidding. Even Nanfeng Yi gave him a solemn salute and called him as Little Brother Ye respectfully. If they still treated Ye Yuan like a child, then it was simply forgetting to bring their brain along when they left the house.


    "Your Majesty, addressing my son like that is killing him!" Ye Hang was speechless.


    Nanfeng Yi called Ye Yuan as Little Brother. Then what would he call him?


    Nanfeng Yi hooted and said, "To each his own! With Little Brother Ye''s talent, we''ll definitely have to call him Your Excellency in the future."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s good that Your Majesty is okay. Since Your Majesty came, isn''t it time for us to find the Su and Wan Family to settle the accounts?"


    Nanfeng Yi nodded and said, "Yes! The past dozen years, I''ve been really aggrieved as the emperor. Today, having obtained Little Brother Ye''s help, we should really find them to settle this debt!"


    He surveyed the surroundings and said authoritatively, "I know that many among you went over to the Su Family. It''s fine! As long as you all draw a clear line with the Su Family today, past matters will be written off! If there are any stubborn fools, their entire clan will be put to death! Absolutely zero tolerance!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Nanfeng Yi''s back view and silently praised in his heart.


    As the emperor, Nanfeng Yi was somewhat soft, but he was not a soft persimmon. His weakness was only relative to the Su Family. Now that the Su Family forced him to an impasse, he finally decided not to run away.


    This move was rather brilliant. Stick plus carrot, Nanfeng Yi was well-versed in the emperor''s path.


    The forces present were not solitary without anyone. This sort of matter like exterminating the whole clan was no joke. It was not even sparing fowls and dogs!


    Regardless of which influence they were from, they would measure the weight of these words.


    Of course, it was also the Ye father and son who created such an atmosphere. Otherwise, him saying something like this would be a joke.


    "Everyone, don''t believe Nanfeng Yi''s bullshit! He is delaying things under a pretext! After this matter is over, there will definitely be a reckoning! We still don''t know who will emerge victorious for today''s affair!"


    "Su Yulin, you aren''t still hoping for Su Yusen to appear, right? Since I showed up here, you should also have guessed his outcome," Nanfeng Yi said with a sneer.


    Recalling that attack from Yuan Fei, Nanfeng Yi was still filled with trepidation right now!


    Too strong!


    The Third Level Crystal Formation Realm Su Yusen actually exploded in one punch by Yuan Fei!


    Back then, his eyeballs nearly popped out. Yuan Fei''s realm was similar to Su Yusen''s. How could he possibly unleash such a shocking attack?


    When he saw those Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, he suddenly understood some things.


    Those Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes'' actions were rather profound. It actually secretly incorporated an array dao.


    Nanfeng Yi did not know array dao, but he simply could not think of just what kind of array formation could let an early-stage Tier 3 demonic beast possess such a powerful attack!


    Su Yulin''s heart plummeted. An incomparably humiliated feeling surged.


    Things already progressed until now and Nanfeng Yi''s side did not even lose a hair.


    But over at his side? His son was killed by Ye Yuan. Second Brother had an arm chopped off by Ye Yuan. Big Brother''s life and death were unknown; although looking at the present situation, he was most probably dead.


    The most hateful thing was that big brother Su Yusen''s death also seemed to have deep connections with Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan! All Ye Yuan!


    Su Yulin looked at Ye Yuan without concealing his killing intent. Ye Hang involuntarily went on alert when he saw the situation.


    "Family Head Su, don''t look at me with this sort of expression, I''m scared. However, looks can''t kill people. Want to kill me? Make a move!" Ye Yuan put up a frightened appearance, but his words were filled with ridicule.


    Su Yulin could not hold back his rage anymore. "Courting death!"


    Boom!


    Su Yulin and Ye Hang fought once again!


    At the same time, Huyan Yong and Nanfeng Yi also made a move! Three mighty Crystal Formation Realm martial artists dealing with Su Yulin alone at the same time!


    Wan Donghai wanted to come over to help but was intercepted by Nanfeng Lou.


    A great battle erupted between the Crystal Formation Realm martial artists once more! Except that this time, the situation turned around. Ye Hang''s side occupied a huge advantage!


    Among the crowd, there was Su Yubai and Ye Yuan left all of a sudden!


    Ye Yuan stared at Su Yubai and said with a grin, "Elder Su, they''re so busy. Let''s not idle either, okay? What I''ve said before, I need to fulfill them eventually so that I can clear my thoughts!"


    Su Yubai''s face turned green. He lost an arm and was heavily wounded by Huyan Yong. He was simply unable to utilize much strength at the moment.


    Although he also consumed healing medicinal pills, how could his medicinal pills compare to Ye Yuan''s?


    The current Ye Yuan already had his injuries healed 70% - 80%, while Su Yubai''s injuries definitely would not recover without ten days to half a month.


    Ye Yuan did not wait for Su Yubai''s acknowledgment. The Canghua sword already swung out!


    "Essence Energy Ignition! Nine Swords Stance!"


    Nine streaks of sword beams flew out chaotically without any patterns!


    Su Yubai''s pupils constricted. This move again!


    Su Yubai wanted to display the Tranquil Soul Step to avoid this attack, but his current strength was not even 50% of his heyday. He simply could not display the Tranquil Soul Step!


    "All stop for me!"


    Right then, an aged voice sounded. At the same time, several beams of light flashed past, directly eradicating Ye Yuan''s nine streaks of sword light!


    An elderly person stood in midair. With another wave of his sleeves, he swept Ye Hang and the other two to one side.


    An immensely powerful aura spread out, making all those present felt suffocated!


    "Flying through the air! Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!" Ye Hang, together with Nanfeng Yi, and the rest were all greatly alarmed.


    From the situation earlier, this Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse evidently leaned towards Su Yulin''s side. This was not some good news for them!


    Ye Yuan was not surprised by this person''s appearance. On the contrary, it would be abnormal if he did not show up all along!


    "Elder Yao, your elderly self is already so advanced in age. Looks like you still can''t stay still!" Ye Yuan looked at Yao Qian in midair and jeered with sarcastic remarks.


    When Ye Yuan said that, Ye Hang and the others were all taken by surprise.


    His guts are a little too big, to actually dare goad a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!

 Chapter 208: Killing to His Face!

    Chapter 208: Killing to His Face!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    To people in the secular world, Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses were godlike existences.


    Because in the mortal nations, unless one had a heaven-defying lucky encounter, it would be impossible to break through to the Sea Transformation Realm.


    Back then, it was because Black Crow Old Man accidentally acquired the Black Crow Yin Fire that he finally broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. However, this was just an example. There were too few, too few.


    And now, Ye Yuan actually spoke this way to a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. This was seriously not giving up until he shocked people to death with words!


    Yao Qian shot Ye Yuan a cold glance, then floated down from the air.


    When he saw that sword in Ye Yuan''s hand, his gaze involuntarily froze.


    "Canghua Sword has already been lost for a hundred years. Why is it in your hands?"


    "Hehe, I''m a disciple from the Dan Wu Academy. Why do you think it''s in my hands?"


    Yao Qian contemplated for a moment and thought of a certain possibility. He asked in amazement, "Can it be that you obtained it on the Nine Heavens Road?"


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not say anything. He had sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, so he obviously would not answer Yao Qian''s question.


    Yao Qian''s face turned ugly. If Ye Yuan had really gotten the Canghua Sword on the Nine Heavens Road, then things were not going to be easy to handle!


    Lu Yan went missing for a hundred years. He actually came to the State of Qin''s Nine Heavens Road to take up the role of guardian! The even more dreadful thing was that he actually passed the Canghua Sword to Ye Yuan!


    Ever since the founding of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, there was no small number who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. But there were overwhelmingly few people who could obtain the guardian''s inheritance.


    Ye Yuan acquiring the Canghua Sword represented Lu Yan''s recognition!


    Nobody knew about Ye Yuan''s performance in the Nine Heavens Road. But Lu Yan''s approval was stark clear for everyone to see!


    Lu Yan had already gone missing for a hundred years. There was basically nobody who would care whether or not a dead person approved of Ye Yuan.


    But Lu Yan had another identity, which was the present Martial Hall''s Hall Head, Xiao Jian''s master!


    This layer of relation was already not known among the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s younger generation. But Yao Qian and Xiao Jian were from the same era. Of course, he knew!


    If Xiao Jian knew that Ye Yuan possessed the Canghua Sword, he would definitely pay special regard to him!


    Martial Hall Hall Head, even Ouyang Ming could not afford to provoke him, let alone him, Yao Qian.


    Thinking of this, Yao Qian no longer bothered with Ye Yuan. Instead, he opened his mouth to say, "This seat is the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Pill Hall Elder, Yao Qian. I''ll be a mediator today and hope to bury the hatchet between the Nanfeng Family and Su Family. I wonder what everyone''s opinion is?"


    "This . . ." When Nanfeng Yi heard Yao Qian''s words, he revealed a difficult expression.


    "What? Don''t tell me that this seat''s words are ineffective?" Yao Qian''s face fell as he looked displeased.


    Everyone''s heart jolted as they hurriedly said, "Dare not!"


    "Good that you dare not! While the sect doesn''t bother with secular affairs, we also don''t hope for this sort of fratricidal strife to happen. You all are the elites in the secular world, so you should unite your efforts to work together for the sect. How can you do this sort of self-crippling thing?" Yao Qian said coldly.


    Even though he knew that Yao Qian had the intention of vindicating the Su Family, Nanfeng Yi could not do anything about it even if he had all kinds of unwillingness in his heart.


    Putting aside Yao Qian''s exalted identity, just based on his Sea Transformation Realm strength, it was also plentiful to wipe out all the people present. What could he do?


    Nanfeng Yi also guessed that Yao Qian definitely had deep ties with Ouyang Ming, which was why he would help the Su Family out. What he had always been wary of was this. To think that it became a reality after all.


    This time, not killing the snake after beating it, it would cause no end of trouble in the future!


    Nanfeng Yi gritted his teeth and was about to answer when Ye Yuan beat him to it. He secretly felt that things were not good, but was already too late to stop it.


    "Elder Yao is really eloquent! Hiding your selfish motives under the righteous cause of the sect. Do you feel that everyone is blind or deaf?" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.


    Yao Qian snorted coldly when he heard that and said, "You, Junior, are exceedingly rude! Do you think that I really can''t do anything to you? You stole the sect''s pill formulas and leaked them out to the secular world. Do you believe that I''ll put you to death right now?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Alright then! Quickly put me to death, Elder Yao! Father, after I''m dead, bring the Canghua Sword to the Tranquil Cloud Sect and let the lords of the sect judge who is right or wrong. I believe that there are reasonable places in this world!"


    "You!" Yao Qian nearly choked to death.


    He could kill Ye Yuan, but he could not kill Ye Hang and Nanfeng Yi too. If he really did that, it would cause the sect''s prestige to plummet drastically in the secular world. He would not be able to shoulder this.


    And as long as the Canghua Sword showed up at the sect, Xiao Jian would surely ask about it. If he knew that he killed his master''s last successor, how could Xiao Jian let him off?


    When he saw the Canghua Sword earlier, he was just surprised for a moment and asked casually. But to think that this brat is so astute to immediately know that the Canghua Sword was extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan''s face turned icy and said, "The secular world has secular world rules! The Su Family went against their superiors and plotted to rebel. If even such an offense can be wiped clean off the slate, who would even dare to sit in the position of an emperor?"


    "Humph! Does this elder still need you to teach me how to do things?" Yao Qian said with a cold smile.


    "Elder Yao is mistaken. I''m not teaching you how to do things, but I''m just stating something to you. The Wan Family father and son and the Su Family brothers are dead for sure! Even if the f*cking Jade Emperor descended today, he also can''t save the Wan Family father and son and the Su Family brothers!" Ye Yuan said icily.


    Once these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm saying such words in front of a Sea Transformation Realm, wasn''t this a joke?


    Of course, if they were to know that Ye Yuan killed a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse before, they most likely would not think that way.


    Ye Hang and Nanfeng Yi sucked in a cold breath. Ye Yuan actually treated a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse anyway he pleased!


    Ye Hang opened his mouth wanting to say something but finally did not speak.


    Rather, it was Nanfeng Yi who could not resist speaking up. "Little Brother Ye, Elder Yao is a high sect elder, a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. Don''t be rash!"


    Ye Yuan ignored him.


    "Haha! Ignorant child! I want to see just how you''ll kill them in front of this elder! If you can harm even a hair on their bodies, this seat will immediately dust myself and leave!"


    Yao Qian felt that this had to be the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life.


    "Fine, you were the one who said it. Then prepare to get lost! Nine Swords Stance!"


    Ye Yuan unleashed his attack once more. The target was straight at Su Yubai!


    "Humph! This move again? Although this move isn''t bad, your strength too poor!" Yao Qian said with a cold smile.


    Only to see him casually wave his hand and the nine streaks of sword light were instantly extinguished.


    Everyone could not help sucking in a cold breath when they saw this scene. This was the might of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!


    But a tragic cry suddenly sounded before the crowd''s shock had passed. They followed the sound only to see a large hole exposed in front of Su Yubai''s chest with blood cascading down without stop!


    The light in Su Yubai''s eyes vanished swiftly. Even till death, he did not dare to believe everything that happened before his eyes.


    He was actually killed under a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse''s protection!


    Everyone suddenly looked towards Su Yubai''s back. Ye Yuan stood proudly while wielding his sword.


    Yao Qian''s expression suddenly changed. He lightly smacked a palm towards ''Ye Yuan.'' The latter''s body was exterminated without the slightest bit of resistance.


    "Avatar body! I truly underestimated you!" Yao Qian said while gnashing his teeth in hatred.

 Chapter 209: Utter Loss of Face!

    Chapter 209: Utter Loss of Face!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Second Brother!"


    When Su Yulin saw Su Yubai''s tragic state, he exploded in anger.


    "Ye Yuan! If I, Su Yulin, don''t kill you, I''m lesser than human!"


    Su Yulin thoroughly went berserk!


    The three closest people in the Su Family all died in Ye Yuan''s hands. The killing intent in Su Yulin''s chest was about to punch through the skies.


    "Ye Yuan! Die! Tranquil Profound Ice Palm!"


    The full power attack from a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm caused the great hall''s temperature to drop in an instant.


    Ye Yuan who was bearing the brunt of it felt a limitless cold attack coming, virtually freezing his entire body!


    Ye Hang''s face fell and immediately unleashed Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!


    But Yao Qian''s hands moved slightly, and a boundless essence energy ball gathered in the palm of his hand.


    Rumble!


    The fire dragon collided with the essence energy ball in midair. A massive recoil sent Ye Hang flying out, crashing heavily onto the wall.


    This was the true disparity between Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm!


    Yao Qian''s actions were relaxed without any effort at all, but Ye Hang could not even withstand this blow.


    "If anyone else intervenes, it wouldn''t be so simple next time!" Yao Qian said coldly.


    Due to his identity as envoy, Yao Qian could not attack Ye Yuan. But if Su Yulin killed Ye Yuan, others naturally could not complain.


    Seeing Ye Hang injured, Ye Yuan''s face darkened.


    He was truly infuriated!


    Su Yulin''s Tranquil Profound Ice Palm had already approached, but Ye Yuan did not have the slightest intention of dodging.


    "Go and die, Ye Yuan!" Su Yulin''s had a ferocious expression as a palm landed on Ye Yuan''s body!


    "Careful!" Yao Qian''s face changed as he warned.


    "Humph! Too late!"


    Ye Yuan who was frozen suddenly transformed into a bundle of yellow flame and Su Yulin''s palm started burning!


    "Essence fire!"


    Su Yulin clearly recognized what this was as well and could not help faltering. He hurriedly pulled back his palm, but it was already too late!


    The essence fire crept upwards from his palm instantly. A horrifying flame promptly burned his palm into ashes!


    But it was not over yet. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame gradually burned Su Yulin''s entire body like bone infesting maggots!


    Virtually in an instant, Su Yulin became a burnt person!


    How could Su Yulin withstand the might of a Tier 4 essence fire?


    A pin drop could be heard in the entire great hall. Only Su Yulin''s miserable cry echoed.


    Ye Yuan used the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s true body to create an avatar body just now and did not release the flame through his meridians.


    This was the strongest state of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!


    Su Yulin''s palm landed, but he himself jumped into a fire pit!


    After several dozen breaths of time, the charcoal-like Su Yulin collapsed onto the ground and stayed down. He was already charred beyond recognition. One could only see the shape of a person.


    Those present exchanged glances, their eyes revealing complicated feelings. They were utterly unsure of what to say.


    Today, the shock Ye Yuan gave them was overly intense. He overturned the Su Family virtually all by himself!


    And he was merely Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    "Wh-What was that just now? Su Yulin is Second Level Crystal Formation Realm. He''s gone just like that?"


    "Too scary! That was essence fire! And from the looks of it, it''s at least a Tier 3 essence fire! No . . . possibly even higher!"


    "B-But Ye Yuan is only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How did he subdue such a high ranking essence fire?"


    "Are you daft? Can Ye Yuan''s performance be measured using common sense? Have you seen before a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm killing a half-step Crystal Formation Realm? Have you seen before the emperor pay such solemn respects to a youth? Have you seen before anyone who could kill in front of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse?"


    ". . . . . ."


    Many people were discussing Ye Yuan softly. Before they came to this Pill Grading Assembly, they thought of numerous possibilities, but they would never have thought that it was evolved to this sort of situation!


    The situation in front of them already completely broke out of control. There was no longer anyone who could control the current situation.


    Most likely, even that Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse could not control it either.


    Because the Su Family was thoroughly finished!"


    "Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus! Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! You . . . You actually had such a level of lucky encounter!" Yao Qian stared at Ye Yuan with a dull look in his eyes. His brain could not quite wrap itself around it for a moment.


    However, the eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with quickly transformed from astonishment into greed!


    Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. This was a Tier 4 essence fire! If he acquired it, perhaps there was still hope of him advancing into the Alchemy King realm in this life!


    But it was just a thought. He did not dare to kill Ye Yuan in front of so many people.


    The sect attached much importance to disciples who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. Otherwise, they also would not directly bequeath core disciple status.


    Although Ye Yuan had not entered the sect currently. But in reality, he was already registered by the sect.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s rules were that no internecine was allowed between fellow members. This was an iron-clad rule! He, an elder, had no authority to privately punish disciples.


    But Ye Yuan did not answer Yao Qian''s question. Instead, he said coldly, "Yao Qian! You''re very good! Today''s matter of injuring my father, I''ve noted it down!"


    Not knowing why, hearing Ye Yuan''s threat and seeing that ice-cold gaze of his, Yao Qian could not stop himself from trembling.


    Could it be that I''m afraid? What kind of joke is this? The other party is only a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm little bastard! Yao Qian felt baffled by his own reaction.


    Perhaps to other people, Ye Yuan''s threat to Yao Qian appeared so pale and hilarious, but Huyan Yong found this scene rather familiar!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan was nearly killed by Su Yubai''s sneak attack, he also used this kind of ''hilarious'' words to threaten him.


    Most probably, even Su Yubai could not have imagined that Ye Yuan could actually realize those seemingly ''hilarious'' threatening words so quickly.


    Huyan Yong felt that Yao Qian attacking Ye Hang today was the most foolish thing he had ever done in his entire life!


    Ye Yuan went to Ye Hang''s side and helped Ye Hang inspect his body. His brows could not help furrowing.


    Ye Hang''s injuries were not light. It was evident that the blow from Yao Qian earlier was not held back. This intensified the killing intent in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    But Ye Yuan knew that it was impossible to kill Yao Qian today.


    He could kill Black Crow Old Man the other time because of favorable timing, geographical, and human conditions; not a single one could be omitted. It simply could not be replicated again. Even if Ye Yuan could sense that there was also essence fire in Yao Qian''s body, it was also impossible to display flame explosion to blow the other party up.


    While Yao Qian might be an alchemist, he was also a genuine Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse! Even if his combat power was lacking, it was also not something that the people present here could rival.


    "Teacher Huyan, can you please bring my father away from here first," Ye Yuan said.


    "Okay!" Huyan Yong did not hesitate and directly agreed.


    "Humph! You killed the Su Family trio brothers and want to leave just like this? Aren''t you looking down on me too much?" Yao Qian said with a cold snort when he saw the situation.


    The aura of a Sea Transformation Realm was released once again, crushing everyone until they were suffocating.


    "What? Does Elder Yao Qian want to kill all of us to take revenge for those three brothers? I recall that a certain someone said that if somebody could harm a hair of the Su Family brothers in front of him, he would immediately get lost. Looks like sect elder''s words is just like farting!" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.


    Yao Qian could not help freezing when he heard that. He still thought about skating over it just now, but he did not imagine that Ye Yuan did not forget it and brought this matter up again.


    This time, the face of him, a sect elder, was utterly lost!

 Chapter 210: Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Thousand Flowing Petals!

    Chapter 210: Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Thousand Flowing Petals!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Humph! Even if I don''t bother about the Su Family affairs, there will naturally be people who will care about it! Stinking brat, just wait to receive the flames of wrath from the Ouyang Family!" Yao Qian found a way for him to step off the stage.


    "This won''t need to trouble Elder Yao. Even if the sky falls, there''s me, Ye Yuan, catching it!"


    If it were before today, Yao Qian would definitely snort in derision at these words.


    But today, Ye Yuan''s methods came in endless streams. He clearly only had Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, but that could make Yao Qian, a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, felt like Ye Yuan was a hard nut to crack.


    Though his words were rampant, Ye Yuan truly had the capital to be unbridled.


    However, he did not plan on letting Ye Yuan off just like this. Or else, where would he put the face of him, this elder?


    "Since the matter over here is done, then let''s deal with the sect''s internal affairs! Ye Yuan, you secretly stole sect pill formulas and circulated them into the secular world! This sin is unforgivable! Initially, I came to welcome you into the sect. But now, as a sect elder, I have no choice but to escort you into the sect to wait for the sect''s decision! Are you going to surrender or do you want me to make a move?" Yao Qian recovered to that insufferably arrogant sect elder at this moment again.


    The Su Family''s matters were already a foregone conclusion. Even he was helpless about it.


    But if he let Ye Yuan swagger his way into the sect, putting aside other things, he could not give an account over at Ouyang Ming''s side.


    Only by marching Ye Yuan into the sect could he look a bit better on the surface.


    When Yao Qian''s words fell, the temperature in the great hall dropped drastically.


    Everyone understood that this was Yao Qian killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!


    On the one hand, he was striking the Imperial Family. On the other hand, he was hammering Ye Yuan. Killing two birds with one stone!


    Furthermore, if he entered the sect with this criminal charge, Ye Yuan would probably find it hard to retreat unscathed.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he suddenly grinned and said, "Then I''ll have to seek advice from Elder Yao''s brilliant moves! Everyone leave this place first! Once Elder Yao makes his move, most likely not a living being will survive! Your Majesty, I''ll hand Wan Donghai and his son over to you. Don''t let me down!"


    The crowd felt touched when they heard it.


    This was Ye Yuan not wanting to harm the innocent. The might of a Sea Transformation Realm attacking was extraordinary. That bout with Ye Hang just now was already considered showing mercy.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s performance was very monstrous, they all knew that there were elements of gaining advantage through trickery. Genuinely facing a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse like Yao Qian, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to be his match.


    "Yuan . . . Yuan-er!" Ye Hang doted on Ye Yuan the most and was naturally unwillingly to leave alone.


    Ye Yuan flashed Father a smile and said, "Don''t worry, he won''t dare to kill me! If I can''t beat him, at most, it''s just suffering a little. Leave this place first, Father, I know what I''m doing."


    Seeing those firm eyes of Ye Yuan''s, Ye Hang nodded and said, "You be careful!"


    The crowd left the Drunken Star Manor. The originally packed great hall only had Ye Yuan and Yao Qian left at present.


    Yao Qian did not stop the others from leaving and also did not bother about Wan Donghai''s life or death. He just wanted Ye Yuan to crawl out from here!


    "Use the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame as well. If I guess correctly, your trump cards should be all used up, right? What method do you planning on using to deal with me?" Yao Qian said nonchalantly.


    "Tch, don''t you feel too immature for trying to goad me like this? Or is Elder Yao scared?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "What a joke! Do you feel that a Sea Transformation Realm would fear you, a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?"


    Although he flatly denied it, not knowing why, Yao Qian had a feeling like anger from having his thoughts read.


    Ye Yuan''s means were endless. To say that Yao Qian was as steady as Mount Tai, even he himself did not quite believe it!


    After all, Tier 4 essence fire was an existence which was already sufficient to threaten him!


    "Haha, enough crap. Bring it on!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan did not wait for Yao Qian to attack. He walked out from his own body.


    One Ye Yuan became two Ye Yuans just like this!


    Yao Qian''s pupils involuntarily shrunk when he saw this!


    He still thought that Ye Yuan would play hide-and-seek with him using the avatar body. Who knew that Ye Yuan would actually showcase his avatar body so openly? What was he planning on doing?


    Yao Qian did not dare to delay. Putting his hands together, he began to gather essence energy!


    The ace in the hole for Sea Transformation Realm martial artists!


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s avatar body moved!


    He would not stand there stupidly and watch Yao Qian gather essence energy. If he let a Sea Transformation Realm gather essence energy, what did he need to fight for?


    There was only the outcome of a one-shot kill!


    The timing of the avatar body making its move was grasped perfectly. It just happened to disrupt the rhythm of Yao Qian gathering essence energy!


    ''Ye Yuan'' arrived in front of Yao Qian. Yao Qian did not dare to delay. An essence energy ball was fired out.


    Boom!


    The essence energy ball exploded in midair along with ''Ye Yuan,'' raising a bundle of flames.


    Right at this moment, Yao Qian''s expression suddenly changed dramatically!


    Purple-colored petal rain!


    As a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, his sensitivity towards essence energy was far beyond what Crystal Formation Realms could compare to.


    This purple petal rain was actually agglomerated and formed from heaven and earth essence energy.


    This . . . How was this possible?


    Ye Yuan was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. He could actually mobilize heaven and earth essence energy?


    Yao Qian was an alchemist in the end. He was simply inept at combat!


    At this time, he actually had the time to stand there in a daze!


    An intense sense of danger welled up inside him. Yao Qian''s hair was standing on its ends!


    This move by Ye Yuan was likely to be extraordinarily powerful!


    "Tumultuous Violent Wave!" Yao Qian hurried revolved his power and started to gather essence energy again.


    Only this time, he did not have such ample time to accumulate it. However, there was more than enough to use this amount of essence energy to deal with a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    Yao Qian pushed out both palms. Essence energy actually roiled over towards Ye Yuan like a violent, turbulent wave!


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Second Stance, Thousand Flowing Petals!"


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry. The sword tip danced, and the boundless flying petals actually assaulted Yao Qian!


    Gigantic waves billowed with a majestic aura, surging forward like a torrential tide!


    Falling petals adrift noiselessly where the source was distant and the stream long!


    Those countless falling petals were like moths flying toward a blazing fire, continuously whittling down the aura of that Tumultuous Violent Wave.


    Finally, those countless falling petals punched a gap in the gigantic wave and swept towards Yao Qian!


    Although the essence energy sea was greatly diminished by the falling petals, it still carried enormous attack power as it surged towards Ye Yuan.


    Both parties received the attack at the same time!


    Puu!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was sent flying out, directly smashing through the wall and flew outside!


    Yao Qian was no better. Those falling petals were like individual knife blades, wrapping his entire body and slicing him!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    The clothes on Yao Qian were shredded into countless ribbons, his flesh a bloody blur!


    However, the essence energy protection of a Sea Transformation Realm was much more powerful. The wounds on Yao Qian''s body appeared terrifying, but it was actually not that serious.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan who became unconscious after being hit outside!


    Even so, this was an unprecedented humiliation for Yao Qian. A frontal clash between a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist and a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, and he was actually injured to such an extent!


    "Ye Yuan! I''m going to kill you!"


    Yao Qian had already lost his mind in his rage. He directly rushed out of the Drunken Star Manor and unleashed a palm towards Ye Yuan!


    The people outside had not dispersed yet. When they say this scene, they could not help being greatly startled!

 Chapter 211: Mo Yuntian!

    Chapter 211: Mo Yuntian!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ye Yuan!"


    "Yuan-er!"


    Ye Yuan facing off with a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, Ye Hang and the rest naturally would not really leave in peace.


    Seeing Yao Qian who was drenched in blood, everyone was flabbergasted!


    And at this moment, Ye Yuan was lying unconscious on the ground. Ye Hang and Huyan Yong wanted to head over to rescue him, but it was already too late.


    An essence energy ball reached Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye, and he was already incapable of resisting at this moment.


    Ye Hang shut his eyes painfully, not daring to witness the scene of his son being killed.


    Right then, a silhouette appeared in front of Ye Yuan like a phantom and reached out to lightly tap the essence energy ball. It instantly vanished into nothingness.


    Everyone was unbelievably shocked. A 28/29-year-old youth in azure clothing faced Yao Qian calmly and saved Ye Yuan!


    This unexpected change caught everyone off guard. Who was this youth?


    Huyan Yong''s pupils constricted when he saw that youth and was immediately overjoyed.


    With this person around, Ye Yuan should be safe and sound!


    The azure clothed youth gave Yao Qian a slight salute and said with a faint smile, "Please calm your anger, Martial Uncle Yao. You''ve vented what you needed to vent, so don''t kill, alright? In spite of everything, Ye Yuan is still a sect disciple."


    Yao Qian had already calmed down currently too. But he gave a cold snort when he saw this youth and said, "What did you come for?"


    The youth smiled and said, "Master heard that there are two Junior Apprentice Brothers with peerless talent and feel that it''s more appropriate for them to join my Martial Hall. Hence, he explained to the Sect Master and ordered me to fetch the two Junior Apprentice Brothers into the sect."


    "Humph! Using Sect Master to suppress me? I don''t care about the two of them entering your Martial Hall, but Ye Yuan stole sect pill formulas and circulated them in the secular world. His crime is unforgivable and must be brought to the Pill Hall to be punished severely!" Yao Qian refused to give in at all.


    "This matter is all conjectures by Martial Uncle. Ye Yuan has never left the State of Qin before since birth till now and has never been to the sect. How could he steal the pill formulas? I think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye must have had some other fortuitous encounter, that''s how he obtained the pill formulas. How about this, Martial Uncle, I''ll bring Junior Apprentice Brother Ye and Long Tang back to the Martial hall first. The pill formulas involve the rise and fall of the sect. Master will definitely take it up personally. After inquiring into the cause, he will naturally give an explanation to the Pill Hall." The azure clothed youth said neither humbly nor haughtily.


    "No way! Ye Yuan is guilty and must be detained back to the sect!"


    "Since that''s the case, then this disciple will have to offend you!" the youth said calmly.


    "You dare to attack me?"


    "This disciple dare not. But Master''s orders are hard to go against!"


    "What a fine Mo Yuntian! To actually dare go against your superiors! I''ll remember today''s matters! I''ll report this incident to the hall head and sect master. I want to see just what kind of accounting you all can give! Hao-er, let''s go!" Yao Qian said furiously.


    Finishing, Yao Qian brought along Yang Hao and left without even turning back.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo!" after Yao Qian left, Huyan Yong shouted rather agitatedly.


    This Mo Yuntian was precisely that peerless genius who passed through the Nine Heavens Road a decade ago in the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy and also Huyan Yong''s fellow sect senior apprentice brother!


    Ten years without meeting. The disparity between the two became greater and greater.


    Mo Yuntian looked towards Huyan Yong. An astonished look flashed past his eyes. "Haven''t met for a few years, to think that Junior Apprentice Brother Huyan actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm too! Felicitations!"


    In his impression, Huyan Yong''s natural endowments were not bad, but he should not have broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm so quickly. Huyan Yong''s breakthrough speed was at least ten years ahead of what he imagined!


    "Just good fortune! Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother Mo helping to save Ye Yuan. If not for you, Ye Yuan would most likely be killed by that dog fart elder already!"


    As for his breakthrough, Huyan Yong did not wish to say too much. But thinking of Yao Qian, he was full of hatred.


    That fellow concerned himself with the individual and not the matter! Causing a total upheaval to the situation in the State of Qin and almost killing Ye Yuan. How could he not hate?


    Mo Yuntian waved his hands and said smilingly, "Ye Yuan is also my Junior Apprentice Brother in future. I''m here under Master''s order. Saving him is expected. This isn''t the place to talk. Let''s head back to the academy first before continuing."


    Finishing, Mo Yuntian looked at the unconscious Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing deep shock.


    Mo Yuntian completely took in with his eyes the move Ye Yuan that used to deal with Yao Qian just now. It truly left him tremendously shocked.


    A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist could actually communicate with heaven and earth essence energy to use such a powerful move! Such talent could no longer be described using monstrous!


    Although the heaven and earth essence energy that Ye Yuan could communicate with was very limited and not even worth mentioning to Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses, one must know that Ye Yuan was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    If he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm in the future, just based on this move, it was sufficient to sweep away those martial artists in the same rank!


    Even now, the average Crystal Formation Realm martial artist would absolutely not dare to let Ye Yuan complete this sort of move. Or else, they could only flee for their lives!


    Earlier, Yao Qian suffered a loss in Ye Yuan''s hands was still because his combat experience was too little, giving Ye Yuan the opportunity to complete his move.


    If another martial artist were swapped in to do battle, they would definitely not give Ye Yuan this kind of chance.


    The flaw of this move was that it consumed too much time.


    Even so, the might of this move should not even appear on a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!


    Also, Mo Yuntian clearly saw a shadow of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art amidst the Thousand Flowing Petals, but the sword intent of the Thousand Flowing Petals was stronger than the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!


    After this child enters the sect, he would surely become the number one among the younger generation in the not too distant future!


    . . . . . .


    A group of people came to the Dan Wu Academy and settled down. Mo Yuntian took out two medicinal pills to give Ye Yuan and Ye Hang to eat.


    Ye Hang''s injuries regained control very rapidly. While Ye Yuan was remained unconscious, his complexion gradually turned for the better.


    Yao Qian''s attack was initially executed in haste and was also greatly exhausted by Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals. Hence, while Ye Yuan''s injuries were severe, there was no danger to his life.


    Afterward, Mo Yuntian went together with Huyan Yong to Jiang Yunhe''s residence to pay respects.


    When Mo Yuntian saw Jiang Yunhe, he gave a bow and said, "Yuntian pays respects to Lord Dean. Has Dean been well recently?"


    "Haha! Well! Very well! Don''t be too courteous, Yuntian! You''re Hall Head Xiao''s direct disciple now with a status that is much higher than mine. No need to pay such solemn respects." Seeing Mo Yuntian, Jiang Yunhe was clearly also beside himself with joy.


    He had already been in position for over a dozen years and only nurtured this one talent. He would naturally regard him importantly.


    Mo Yuntian smiled and said, "If not for the dean''s nurturing, how can Yuntian have today? In this life, no matter where I go to, Dean Jiang will always be Yuntian''s Lord Dean!"


    "Haha, this dean is already satisfied that you have such sentiments. You coming to the State of Qin this time is under Hall Head Xiao''s orders?"


    "That''s right. It''s also fortunate that Master instructed Yuntian to come. Otherwise, our Tranquil Cloud Sect''s losses this time would be too massive! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s talent supersedes Yuntian''s ten times, a hundred times over. If such a genius were to be ruined in Yao Qian''s hands, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the sect!"


    After seeing Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals, Mo Yuntian also felt lingering fear in his heard. Such a matchless genius; once the sect lost him, they might not even find another one for a hundred years!

 Chapter 212: Talk of Destiny

    Chapter 212: Talk of Destiny


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ye Yuan''s talent is indeed monstrous, but to say that the sect losing him will be equivalent to a catastrophe? I''m afraid that it''s a little exaggerated, right?" Hearing Mo Yuntian had such high appraisal of Ye Yuan, Jiang Yunhe was surprised.


    Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "That''s because Dean didn''t see the confrontation between him and Yao Qian! Just now, when he was facing off with Yao Qian, he used a sword move. This sword move was released through communicating with heaven and earth essence energy!"


    Jiang Yunhe was greatly alarmed as he said, "What did you say? Communicating with heaven and earth essence energy? Did you see wrongly?"


    Huyan Yong did not see what happened inside either. He was also dumbstruck hearing what Mo Yuntian said currently.


    Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "How can I? In reality, I initially wanted to intervene earlier, but when I saw Junior Apprentice Brother Ye use that move, I had the thought of observing the result. Also, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s fighting talent is extremely outstanding. He could grasp the flaws of his opponent accurately and unleash his strength to the limits. That battle looked like Junior Apprentice Brother Ye lost, but the way I saw it, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye was the victor! If Junior Apprentice Brother Ye possessed Crystal Formation Realm strength, the one lying on the ground might just be Yao Qian."


    Jiang Yunhe exchanged a glance with Huyan Yong and read the astonishment in the other person''s eyes!


    What concept was Mo Yuntian saying?


    Sea Transformation Realm was an invincible existence above the Crystal Formation Realm!


    Even if Yao Qian was the crummiest type of Sea Transformation Realm, he could absolutely sweep through Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses as well when facing them!


    But Mo Yuntian said that as long as Ye Yuan had Crystal Formation Realm strength, he could defeat Yao Qian! Wasn''t this sort of leaping ranks to battle too exaggerated?


    "Also, if I saw correctly, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye must have obtained the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art complete inheritance on the Nine Heavens Road! However, his sword intent is not the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, but is even higher rank than the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art! He should have completed a type of sword intent fusion! Such talent is likely no worse than Founding Father You Wuya!" Mo Yuntian continued.


    Jiang Yunhe and Huyan Yong were horrifyingly shocked!


    If it was really as Mo Yuntian said, then doesn''t Ye Yuan already possess the potential to shatter the void and ascend to the Divine Realm?


    To a sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, this was absolutely a tremendous lucky chance!


    Everyone understood the logic of when a man attained the Dao, even his hen and dog became immortals too. If Ye Yuan could rise up, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would become one of the strongest sects in the entire Endless World!


    Jiang Yunhe''s expression suddenly became grave as he said, "Yuntian, if Ye Yuan truly has such talent, it might not be a good thing to the sect!"


    Mo Yuntian was stunned when he heard that and could not help asking, "Why does Dean say so?"


    "Talk of destiny is fleeting and ephemeral. But regardless whether it''s to sects or martial artists themselves, destiny really exists! Whether a martial artist can have great accomplishments, first, we have to look at talent. But destiny is also very important! Back then, Ancestral Father You Wuya was said to have obtained a certain ancient inheritance, that''s why he could rise against the heavens and become a legend of the Endless World."


    Jiang Yunhe paused for a moment and continued. "It''s the same thing for sects! A heaven-defying genius might be able to bring the sect to rise up powerfully, but the growth of a genius will surely incur many, many powerful foes! And these foes might not be something that the sect can withstand! A single misstep and it could very well be a cataclysmic disaster! This is the sect''s destiny being insufficient to support the rise of this genius!"


    Mo Yuntian kept silent and did not speak when he heard that. He nodded a short while later and said, "Listening to Dean saying this, it''s true! Ever since Ye Yuan''s sudden powerful rise, all he provoked were foes much more powerful than him! At present, he had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm not long ago and actually provoked such a powerful figure like Yao Qian. Truly can''t tell what kind of terrifying adversary he will incur in the future!"


    "Even so, the sect can''t abandon this chance! Everything is foreordained by the heaven! I believe that when ancestor passed Junior Apprentice Brother Ye the Canghua Sword, he also did not imagine that this sword would actually save his life, right? Or perhaps, this is Ye Yuan''s destiny, and also the fate of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Mo Yuntian said firmly.


    "En? How so?" Jiang Yunhe asked in puzzlement.


    Mo Yuntian smiled and said, "Do you know why Master sent me to the State of Qin?"


    "Isn''t it because Hall Head Xiao heard that Ye Yuan has astonishing talent, that''s why he sent you here?" Jiang Yunhe said perplexedly.


    "Haha, Master is the dignified Martial Hall Hall Head. There are many matters he needs to attend to every day, and he also has to cultivate. How would he have the energy to bother with the affairs of two geniuses from the secular world? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is extraordinarily talented, so the sect sent Yao Qian over. But why would he make an unnecessary move like sending over Mo Yuntian?"


    "Yeah. Putting it this way, it''s indeed a little strange!"


    "Do you all know the history of that spirit artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands?"


    Jiang Yunhe and Huyan Yong shook their heads at the same time. How would they know?


    "That sword is called Canghua Sword. It''s the lifeblood spirit artifact of the previous, previous generation Martial Hall Hall Head, Lu Yan! And Ancestor Lu Yan is Master''s master! Tell me, how can he maintain his composure upon hearing the news of the Canghua Sword coming into being?" Mo Yuntian explained.


    The pair came to a realization. Turns out that the sword in Ye Yuan''s hands had such an origin!


    "Then how did Hall Head Xiao know that Ye Yuan has the Canghua Sword?" Jiang Yunhe asked in confusion.


    Xiao Jian did not even pay attention to secular world geniuses, so how could he pay attention to what kind of weapon was wielded by a State of Qin''s genius?


    Mo Yuntian gave a meaningful smile and said, "Speaking of that, it''s all thanks to the Su Family!"


    "Su Family? What''s it got to do with them?"


    "If my guess is correct, the Su Family members must have coveted the spirit artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands. That''s why they would inquire about the source of this sword. And Master just happened to find out about this matter and asked in detail, confirming that the spirit artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands is the Canghua Sword! After Master knew about this news, he was unbelievably agitated. Hence, he sent me here to the State of Qin. As Ancestor Lu Yan''s successor, Master naturally would not let him enter the Pill Hall. But he also didn''t think that so many things would actually happen in the State of Qin."


    "Su Yubai! Haha! The Su Family really lifted a stone to smash onto their own feet. It''s clear that Ye Yuan is indeed somebody with a great destiny. Nobody can stop his rising momentum!" Jiang Yunhe shook his head and said with a laugh.


    He truly did not think that there was actually such an intricate story in between.


    Su Yubai''s greed saved Ye Yuan instead. It was evident that everything was foreordained by heaven! Ye Yuan was not meant to die!


    Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "Regardless where destiny and fate really exists, the sect has no reason to reject such a genius. Martial Uncle Sect Master, as well as many sect upper echelons, have not given up on their desire to return to the Northern Domain. Now that we can see hope for the sect, we naturally have to foster Junior Apprentice Brother Ye with all our power! I think that this ambition might not have been absent when Ancestor Lu Yan passed the Canghua Sword to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye!"

 Chapter 213: Might of a Single Finger!

    Chapter 213: Might of a Single Finger!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Several days later.


    Barely any student was seen around the Dan Wu Academy; almost all of the students gathered at the plaza.


    Ye Yuan had already recovered. This also represented that he and Long Tang were going to leave the Dan Wu Academy and officially enter the sect!


    Ye Yuan initially want to leave low-key, but Jiang Yunhe suggested to organize a grand sending off assembly.


    After all, this was the greatest event in the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy in the past ten years. As the academy''s dean, he naturally felt honored because of this.


    Ye Yuan did not wish to put a damper on Jiang Yunhe''s enthusiasm, so he agreed,


    "I''ve long known that Ye Yuan was going to leave, but I didn''t think that this day would arrive so quickly!"


    "Yeah, this fellow is too terrifying. Simply in a different world from the rest of us. Only a larger stage can better showcase his talent."


    "Ye Yuan entering the sect is something within expectations. But did you notice a strange phenomenon? Virtually all those who walked close with Ye Yuan remolded themselves completely!"


    "Hearing you say this, it''s really true! Teacher Feng, oops, should be Teacher Nanfeng has already broken through to the Alchemy Grandmaster realm. Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng has already broken through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and became the number one on the Martial Roll. Although Senior Apprentice Brother Long isn''t that close with Ye Yuan, he himself also acknowledged that he could only make it through the Nine Heavens Road because of Ye Yuan. The most frightening is still Elder Huyan Yong. He actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly! Simply mind-blowing!"


    "You missed out two other people! One is the rising new genius figure among the Earth rank students called Tang Yu. These few months, this Tang Yu advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through from Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm all the way to Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm! I heard that he''s going to take part in the Earth Rank Advancement Test very soon to become a Heaven Rank student! And he is the person who got to know Ye Yuan earliest! Another is Ye Yuan''s father, Pavilion Lord Ye. Not only did Pavilion Lord Ye break through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm, he even broke through to middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster! Could it be that Ye Yuan''s body has some magic?"


    "Hearing you say this, I really regret it to death! If I knew it would be like this, I should have hugged Ye Yuan''s thigh tightly! For all we know, I might also be able to become a Heaven rank student now, or maybe even become a Martial Roll expert!"


    "Keep dreaming!"


    Ye Yuan''s rise could already be said to be a legend in the Dan Wu Academy.


    Especially for those aristocrat students. Many of them knew that Ye Yuan went on a massacre in the capital and confronted a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse face-on.


    This courage and vigor, this strength, they could only look up to it in their lifetime.


    Additionally, Huyan Yong had already succeeded Su Yubai''s position at this time and became the Disciplinary Hall''s First Elder!


    Initially, with Huyan Yong''s age, he had the opportunity to enter the sect. But he still chose to stay in the academy to assist the dean all the way until the dean returned to the sect.


    Ye Yuan knew that Huyan Yong was brought up by Jiang Yunhe, so did not say anything. But he secretly made a resolution to help Jiang Yunhe get the Purple Center Soul Incantation as soon as possible.


    One had to say, Jiang Yunhe had been completely absorbed in being the dean.


    Throughout the entire process, each and every one of the students was like on stimulants. They treated Long Tang and Ye Yuan as idols and were determined to become a sect disciple!


    The power of a role model was boundless, especially the role models by the side of the students.


    The sending off assembly was coming to a close. Jiang Yunhe was about to announce the conclusion when Long Tang who had kept silent the whole time opened his mouth to speak at this time.


    He went in front of Ye Yuan and said seriously, "Ye Yuan, I knew that you would eventually surpass me one day. But I didn''t think that this day would come so quickly! Although I know that I''m not your match right now, I still wish to issue a challenge to you! I wonder if the agreed upon battle we had before is still counted?"


    Towards Long Tang''s actions, Ye Yuan was also somewhat surprised.


    Indeed, Long Tang''s current strength was already inadequate to threaten him. However, fighting with Long Tang was just exchanging pointers. Ye Yuan obviously could not bring out all of his cards like dealing with Su Yubai and Su Yulin.


    However, regarding Long Tang''s fixed match, Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to reject. Hence, he nodded and said, "It naturally counts! I''ve also been looking forward to this match with Senior Apprentice Brother Long!"


    "Haha, now it should be me who''s calling you Senior Apprentice Brother!" Long Tang said with a loud laugh.


    "Haha, Senior Apprentice Brother is indeed magnanimous. You actually gave away this number one seat so happily." Facing Long Tang''s forthrightness, Ye Yuan was also affected by it.


    Long Tang shook his hands and said, "Before this, I didn''t understand. But ever since watching you clear the Nine Heavens Road, I suddenly understood. This number one of the Martial Roll is actually the main culprit that was holding me back! The number one in the Dan Wu Academy; it''s not about feeling cold or lonely from reaching an extremely high realm, but merely a frog at the bottom of a well! Only by continuously surpassing myself, chasing after the paramount martial Dao, that''s what martial artists should do!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Long''s comprehension is exceedingly high. Just base on this aspect, it''s already far surpassed most people! Come then, before heading for the sect, let us determine the number one on this Martial Roll!"


    "Haha, come!"


    The two of them were about to make a move when a silhouette shot up and stood in the middle of them.


    Ye Yuan and Long Tang were stunned when they saw who it was. This person was none other than Wu Luochen!


    Wu Luochen currently also broke through to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm and was officially ranked in the top five of the Martial Roll. In the Dan Wu Academy, that was an absolutely domineering existence.


    "This isn''t right, Senior Apprentice Brother Long! Ye Yuan and my arranged battle comes first; how can you cut the queue? This fight, let me go first!" Wu Luochen said with a displeased face.


    Ye Yuan was stupefied when he heard Wu Luochen. Such a long time without meeting him, Ye Yuan forgot that he still had an arranged battle with him.


    It was just that with his current strength, Wu Luochen probably could not even receive a single move. Did this fellow really not even have this bit of self-awareness?


    "Ye Yuan, don''t look at me with this sort of expression! I know that I already don''t have the qualifications to be your opponent. Even Senior Apprentice Brother Long most likely doesn''t have this qualification either. I just want to see how great the gap between us is. Then, I''ll head down that direction and continuously break through realms!" Wu Luochen said.


    Towards Wu Luochen''s words, Long Tang did not refute anything.


    He had also heard about the great battle in the capital. Ye Yuan''s foe was a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse! How could he rival a Spirit Condensation Realm who could cause a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse to be injured?


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he snickered in his heart. This Wu Luochen was really a martial fanatic. But this person was obsessed until it was adorable.


    Speaking of which, back then when dealing with Su Yishan, he owed him a favor.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan smiled serenely and said, "Fine, under these circumstances, I''ll only unleash one finger! If you can receive it, consider it my loss!"


    "For real?" Wu Luochen asked disbelievingly.


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan was very strong now, but to only use one finger to defeat him, wasn''t this a little arrogant?


    "Yes!"


    "Okay! I''ll let you see my, Wu Luochen''s, power!" Finishing, Wu Luochen figure burst forth, shooting towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed!


    Ye Yuan smiled calmly. Using his finger as a sword, an abnormally horrifying sword intent was released from his fingertip!

 Chapter 214: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye

    Chapter 214: Leaving Without Saying Goodbye


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Sensing that horrifying sword intent, Wu Luochen face changed abruptly.


    By the side, Long Tang''s expression also changed.


    Wu Luochen instinctively wanted to dodge this attack, but it was futile.


    Wu Luochen only felt his eyes blur and Ye Yuan already arrived in front of him while he did not react at all. He only saw a sharp sword continuously becoming bigger and bigger in his eyes!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s sword finger stopped at Wu Luochen''s glabella. The sword intent which was originally surging till it was suffocating vanished with a trace all of a sudden as if it had never appeared before.


    Drip!


    A drop of sweat flowed down Wu Luochen''s forehead and dripped on the floor.


    "I . . . I lost!" Wu Luochen said dryly.


    "No way? Ye-Ye Yuan is already powerful to such an extent? Did you see how he made his move just now?"


    "I completely didn''t see it! It was like he teleported in front of Wu Luochen and then Wu Luochen admitted defeat! Is this really the strength of a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist? We are on completely different levels than he is!"


    "This is simply incomprehensible! Ye Yuan is clearly only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, while Wu Luochen is Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Even if Wu Luochen isn''t his match, then disparity should be this great, right? Wu Luochen basically couldn''t fight back at all! If that were a life and death match just now, Wu Luochen would be killed instantly!"


    "This non-human being simply cannot be measured using common sense."


    That attack just now, the students did not even see how Ye Yuan made his move.


    They were the same as Wu Luochen. They only felt a blur in front of their eyes, and Wu Luochen was defeated.


    Mo Yuntian watched this scene and nodded to himself. He said to Jiang Yunhe, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s attainments in Sword Dao is far above mine. That finger just now was wielded freely as he wished. When he unleashed his finger, sword qi billowed to the skies. When he kept away his finger, the clouds were thin and the breeze gentle. This kind of wielding heavy as if it were light is not something that a young man should have. If not for Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s bone age is only around 15 years old, I might even suspect whether or not he''s an old monster who has been developing Sword Dao for hundreds of years!"


    "Haha, yes! Ye Yuan is already like a crane among chickens in the academy. Even the number one on the Martial Roll, Long Tang, cannot even withstand a single blow in front of him. Even if he doesn''t enter the sect, being in the academy has lost all meaning," Jiang Yunhe said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan looked at Wu Luochen and said with a beam, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu''s Dao Heart is firm. Truly praiseworthy! That finger just now, just take it as a parting gift that I give Senior Apprentice Brother Wu."


    Ye Yuan''s finger earlier did not use full strength. He was only demonstrating to Wu Luochen what was called concept!


    Ye Yuan''s realm was beyond Wu Luochen''s wildest imaginations. He incorporated his own understanding towards Heavenly Dao in a very shallow manner into this finger. As for how much Wu Luochen could comprehend, it would depend on his fortune.


    Even though it was only a very tiny portion, it was enough for Wu Luochen to use his entire life.


    Wu Luochen''s entire body trembled when he heard this. His mind involuntarily recalled Ye Yuan''s finger just now, as if faintly grasping something, yet like not grabbing anything, akin to the moon''s reflection in the water.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and did not interrupt Wu Luochen. Instead, he turned to Long Tang and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Long, our turn."


    Who knew that Long Tang would shake his head instead and said, "No need to compete, I already know the distance between us. That finger just now, I simply have no way of cracking it. Also, I know that you did not use full strength! However, that finger just now is even more powerful than the concept I comprehended on the Nine Heavens Road. I also received no little benefits!"


    The students were initially still looking forward to a great battle but did not think that it would actually conclude in such a manner.


    From start to end, only Ye Yuan executed a finger, and the dust settled.


    However, after the students dispersed, Wu Luochen remained at the plaza still, unmoving like a statue.


    Every day, when people walked by this place, they would use curious eyes to size up Wu Luochen. But Dean instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him. Naturally, there would not be anybody who would go up and speak to him.


    Just like that, Wu Luochen stood in the plaza for seven days!


    After seven days, Wu Luochen suddenly lifted his head to the skies and gave a long howl. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a punch, and it actually gave off the sound of dragons and tigers roaring.


    Only to hear a boom, a stone lion in the plaza was disintegrated into dust by this punch of his through the air!


    The students passing by suddenly saw this scene and were amazed by this.


    Starting from that day forth, Wu Luochen would surpass Zuo Bugui without contest and became number one on the Martial Roll!


    Of course, this was the afterward.


    After the sending-off assembly, Ye Yuan returned to the capital and prepared to bid his parents farewell.


    But after heading back to the capital, Ye Yuan did not see Ye Hang and wife. Instead, Manager Feng San gave him a letter. The letter was written in Ye Hang''s handwriting.


    Ye Yuan opened the letter dubiously and started reading.


    Yuan-er, forgive us for leaving without saying goodbye. In truth, Father did not tell you this whole time, but your mother and I are not people of the Southern Domain, but from the Northern Domain. These few years, Father has always been worried about your growth, so I suppressed the thoughts of returning to the Northern Domain. To think that you''d profit from the misfortune of being poisoned the previous time and could already grow to be a man that can take charge of a front within a few short months, Father is very gratified.


    Now that you''ve already entered the sect and the State of Qin''s affairs has concluded, Father is already completely reassured to return to the Northern Domain. Your mother and I have to return to the Northern Domain because of some things. I''ve already handed the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion over to the Imperial Family to manage. 60% of all the income will be under your name. In addition, if you have any needs, you can raise it up to His Majesty. He will handle it. You just cultivate in peace in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. In the future, after your mother and I finished our matters, we''ll naturally come and look for you .


    After reading Ye Hang''s letter, Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together.


    Although Ye Hang did not mention in the letter what he was going to the Northern Domain to do, Ye Yuan could sense that the thing he was going to do was probably not so simple.


    Otherwise, Father and Mother would not use this sort of method to say goodbye to him.


    Linking it to some news he heard from Nanfeng Yi, Ye Hang and Ren Hongling were being hunted down in the State of Yan back then. From this, it could be seen that they could very well have a powerful enemy. Or else, they would not have come to the Southern Domain from the distant Northern Domain.


    "Young Master, something happened to Owner? When can he come back?" Seeing Ye Yuan remain silent, Feng San could not help opening his mouth to ask.


    "It''s fine. They have something and need to go on a long trip. They probably can''t return within a short period of time. In the future, there will be nobody from our Ye Family in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. We''ll have to trouble Manager Feng to take care of it," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "What are you saying, Young Master. Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is just like my home to me, Old Feng. After Owner comes back, I''ll definitely give him back a proper and intact Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!" Feng San said.


    "Haha, then thank you very much, Manager Feng. Since Father and Mother have already left, I won''t stay either. I''ll set off for the Tranquil Cloud Sect right away. Till we meet again, Manager Feng!" Ye Yuan waved goodbye to Feng San.


    Feng San watched Ye Yuan''s distant back view, tears flowing from his aged eyes.


    In a blink of an eye, the Ye Family household became empty.

    Chapter 215: Sect Protecting Grand Array


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Outside the capital, when Ye Yuan saw Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou, he could not help being stupefied.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re really cold-blooded and heartless. You didn''t even come and inform us before leaving!" Nanfeng Zhirou said huffily.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly when he saw the situation and said, "Teacher Nanfeng, Senior Apprentice Sister, I was just afraid of not doing things properly, causing grief and pain from bidding farewell. That''s why I left without telling the two of you. I didn''t think that you two would actually come to send me off."


    "Humph! Who came to send you off? We''re here to see Senior Apprentice Brother Mo off!" Nanfeng Zhirou said.


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. This lass really wanted to save face. To actually use this sort of method to deal with it. Didn''t it seem too childish?


    "Like that huh. I wonder what Senior Apprentice Sister is looking for Senior Apprentice Brother Mo for?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "Tch, seeing your look of disbelief, you go and ask Senior Apprentice Brother Mo!"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. Looking at this lass''s confident appearance, could it be that they really came to look for Mo Yuntian?


    Nanfeng Ruoqing smiled and said, "You little girl, you really like to keep people guessing! Ye Yuan, we''re actually preparing to go with you to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    "With Junior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng''s Alchemy Dao standards, she could have actually entered the sect long ago. But she chose to stay in the academy for the State of Qin''s Imperial Family. Now that the State of Qin''s matters has concluded, she can also leave in peace. As for Nanfeng Zhirou, she''s entering the sect under a retainer identity," Mo Yuntian explained.


    Ye Yuan came to a realization after hearing this.


    Thinking about it, Nanfeng Ruoqing''s Alchemy Dao standards were not inferior to Yang Hao''s. Since Yang Hao could become a core disciple, then she naturally had this qualification too.


    Furthermore, under Ye Yuan''s guidance, Nanfeng Ruoqing''s Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique was already at the entry-level stage. In terms of alchemy, she likely tossed Yang Hao far behind her already.


    Ye Yuan knew that every core disciple could bring five retainers into the sect. Lu-er was also brought along under the retainer status.


    Speaking of Lu-er, the frost poison in her body was already temporarily suppressed by the Essence Yang Pill. But with Ye Yuan''s present strength, he was still unable to completely remove the root of the frost poison.


    Hence, Lu-er still could not cultivate for the time being.


    "So that''s the case! Then didn''t Teacher Nanfeng become Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng? Well, this way, I have an additional martial niece. Thinking about it, it''s not too bad," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "Hehe. Elder Sister Nanfeng became a generation younger instantly. How pitiful!" Lu-er could not resist covering her mouth to giggle.


    Nanfeng Zhirou was so angry that she glared with round eyes and said furiously, "Who''s your martial niece? I''m going to fight it out with you, Ye Yuan!"


    Nanfeng Zhirou drew her sword and stabbed. Ye Yuan lightly dodged it. Now, forget about Nanfeng Zhirou joking around, even if she used her full strength, she also could not stab Ye Yuan.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing smiled and said, "Alright, Zhirou. Senior Apprentice Brother Mo is still here, don''t make a fool of yourself! Moreover, what Ye Yuan said is right. According to seniority, you''re indeed his martial niece now."


    Nanfeng Zhirou also knew that she could not beat Ye Yuan and said angrily, "Humph! I don''t want to be his martial niece!"


    After a round of quarreling, Nanfeng Zhirou refused to call Ye Yuan as Martial Uncle no matter what.


    Mo Yuntian opened his mouth to say, "All right, it''s getting late. Let''s be on our way."


    Finishing, Mo Yuntian casually waved. A small-scale flying boat appeared in front of everyone. This was a flying spirit artifact which could accommodate around ten people.


    The group boarded the flying vessel and set off for the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    . . . . . .


    After two days, the flying boat landed at a mountain with abundant spiritual qi.


    This place was endowed with natural spirits and had multiple ranges of mountains; just like a mortal world paradise.


    The flying boat landed directly at the foot of the mountain. Mo Yuntian put away the flying boat and said to everyone, "This place is the Spirit Blessing Mountain, and also the location of the sect. Sect disciples are not to fly through the air in the sect without permission. Therefore, we can only land here and walk on foot up the mountain."


    "So this place is Spirit Blessing Mountain! I''ve been looking forward to this place since young, this is the first time I''ve come here! The heaven and earth essence energy in this place is so abundant, much stronger than at the Dan Wu Academy!" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise after sensing it.


    "The sect has a Sect Protecting Grand Array. Within the grand array, there''s a Spirit Gathering Formation. The essence energy here is naturally much richer than other places," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Mo Yuntian revealed a surprised look. "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye even knows array formations? To actually see through the illusion at a glance!"


    "Know a little bit. I can sense the power of array formations. But as for what formations, I can''t tell," Ye Yuan said.


    In reality, Ye Yuan saw through it with one look. This array formation was called Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation. It was just that it wasn''t that good to behave overly monstrous in front of Mo Yuntian, which was why he pretended he did not know.


    When Mo Yuntian heard Ye Yuan say this, his surprise lessened a little.


    This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s talent in the Martial Dao was astonishing while his attainments in Alchemy Dao were extremely high. If he even knew array formations, then it was too monstrous.


    "This is my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array, Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation. Its power is extremely great! The average Soul Sea Realm powerhouse is unable to break this formation." Speaking of the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, Mo Yuntian was also rather proud.


    Hearing Mo Yuntian''s introduction, Nanfeng Ruoqing and niece revealed astonished looks.


    Soul Sea Realm powerhouse was something of the legends to them! But such a powerhouse was actually unable to break the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array! The might of this grand array could be seen!


    But Ye Yuan remained calm and composed and did not say anything. But he was somewhat disapproving of Mo Yuntian''s words in his heart.


    No idea which idiot laid out this array formation, simply full of loopholes!


    After Ye Yuan''s slight observation, he discovered at least seven or eight places where the grand array was slightly weaker. If he had Sea Transformation Realm strength, breaking this array formation would be like playing around, why would there be the need for a Soul Seal Realm powerhouse to break the formation?


    The so-called Quasi-Tier 5 array formation basically represented the pinnacle power of Tier 4 array formations.


    That was also to say, even if the person breaking the array had peak Soul Sea Realm strength, they could forget about forcefully breaking this array formation!


    But Ye Yuan reckoned that for the current sect protecting array, as long as the person breaking the array had middle-stage Soul Seal Realm strength, they could completely break it apart forcefully!


    Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array belonged to the peak existences among Quasi-Tier 5 array formations. A fine and proper sect protecting array was laid out in such a manner, one could only say that the level of the person who set up the formation was too low.


    This array at present, as long as the opposing party brought along a Tier 4 array formation master, it could be broken very easily.


    If Ye Yuan laid out this grand array, forget about peak Soul Seal Realm powerhouses, even half-step Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses could only return defeated!


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not say these things to Mo Yuntian so as to avoid being overly shocking.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect had already set up their sect here for a thousand years already, and it had been safe and sound the entire time. Though this array formation was slightly inferior, it did not seem to be too much of an issue.


    Furthermore, it could be seen from this Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s foundation was profoundly deep.


    "All right, you guys follow me up the mountain." Mo Yuntian brought the few people and headed up the mountain.


    "Good day, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo!" the disciple on duty guarding the gate took the initiative to go up and salute when he saw Mo Yuntian.


    Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "I''m under Master''s orders to fetch Junior Apprentice Brother and Sisters from the secular world up the mountain. This is the permit."


    The gatekeeping disciple took over the permit, used divine sense to sweep over it before returning to Mo Yuntian and opening up the path, saying, "If you please, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo."

 Chapter 216: Put up with It a Little

    Chapter 216: Put up with It a Little


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Who''s that young man? A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Mo to personally fetch him from the secular world?"


    "Yeah. A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, even being an outer-sect disciple is enough for him to choke on. Senior Apprentice Brother Mo actually went to receive him personally. Most likely, it''s due to ties from higher-ups, right?"


    "Heh heh,for sure! But entering the sect with this bit of strength, he will probably be eliminated very soon, right? These nobility children from the secular world probably don''t know the cruelty in the sects and even believe that this place is like those mediocre talents in the secular world!"


    "However, those two ladies are really like celestial fairies! If I can get close to them, ask me to die and I''ll also be willing! It''s just, I wonder if they are going to enter the Pill Hall or Martial Hall."


    "Yeah, really too beautiful. Just now, I stared until I couldn''t pull my eyes away. But such ravishing beauties, it wouldn''t be our turn no matter what. You''d better not think too much."


    When the two disciples on duty saw Ye Yuan''s realm, belittling mentality was naturally born.


    In the Dan Wu Academy, Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm was already a very powerful existence. But in the sect, it was not even fit to carry shoes for others. They naturally felt that Ye Yuan only got in through some sect upper echelon relations.


    Ye Yuan and co walked for roughly two hours along the mountain path before finally seeing the dense architectural complexes.


    Other than Ye Yuan, the rest were filled with curiosity towards sect life and could not resist looking around.


    Right at this moment, a disciple looking young man walked over and gave Mo Yuntian a salute, saying, "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo!"


    "Zhang Jing huh, perfect. These few people are Junior Apprentice Brothers and Sister from the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy. Come and get to know each other," Mo Yuntian said.


    Mo Yuntian introduced both parties to each other. Ye Yuan and the others also greeted Zhang Jing.


    This Zhang Jing had Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength. His ranking among core disciples was even quite near the front.


    When Zhang Jing heard Mo Yuntian''s introduction, he said in surprise, "Junior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng is already a high-rank Alchemy Master at such a young age. Even among the Pill Hall''s core disciples, your strength is rather uncommon. Why did you only enter the sect today?"


    He directly neglected Long Tang and Ye Yuan. Not that he was enamored by Nanfeng Ruoqing''s beauty, but because Long Tang and Ye Yuan''s realms were too low.


    Such meager strength, they were basically existences at the bottom level in the sect.


    And Ye Yuan''s strength was most likely scrapping the bottom of the barrel among outer-sect disciples.


    Hence, as he saw it, Mo Yuntian naturally went to personally fetch this beautiful junior apprentice sister.


    Sect disciples were not very concerned with secular world matters. Regarding the matter of Ye Yuan and Long Tang clearing the Nine Heavens Road, there were scarcely any people who knew in the sect. Zhang Jing obviously did not know either.


    Yang Hao only knew because Yao Qian played the role as envoy this time.


    He ran into a stone wall in the secular world. After returning, he naturally would not go spreading it around.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing smiled and said, "Because there were still some matters to deal with in the secular world, that''s why I delayed for some time."


    "So that''s the case! But Junior Apprentice Sister don''t have to worry, with your strength, you''ll be able to stand firm in the Pill Hall very soon. By then, all of us senior apprentice brothers will probably have to rely on you, Junior Apprentice Sister," Zhang Jiang said with a grin.


    As a matter of fact, within the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the number of people in the Pill Hall was much lesser compared to the Martial Hall, but their position supersedes the Martial Hall.


    Everyone could become a martial artist, but not everyone could become an alchemist.


    Especially in the Tranquil Cloud Sect which was established with medicinal pills, the position of alchemists was even higher!


    The reason was none other than martial artists could not steer clear from medicinal pills. The Martial Hall naturally could not separate from the Pill Hall either as well. Even today''s Martial Hall Hall Head, Xiao Jian, also does not dare to say he''s not reliant on the Pill Hall.


    Therefore, Zhang Jing befriending Nanfeng Ruoqing here was not only because she was pretty, but because she was a high-rank Alchemy Master with huge potential!


    With Nanfeng Ruoqing''s age, to be able to cultivate to such a realm in the secular world, her future accomplishments would definitely be extraordinary. Building good relations with her now was obviously not a bad thing.


    However, while Zhang Jing was flattering Nanfeng Ruoqing, Nanfeng Ruoqing''s gaze would dart towards Ye Yuan either intentionally or unintentionally.


    If not for Yao Qian offending Ye Yuan, he would probably sweep through those so-called geniuses if he went to the Pill Hall, right?


    "Senior Apprentice Brother is too kind, Ruoqing doesn''t deserve it." Nanfeng Ruoqing smiled faintly and expressed humility in an impeccable manner.


    Mo Yuntian saw that Zhang Jing made an error in judgment but did not expose it.


    Strength had to be proven by one''s self. Other people''s oral narrative might not be convincing.


    With the strength of Ye Yuan''s talent, he would naturally not fall and die among the masses. In future, Zhang Jing will see it for himself.


    "Zhang Jing, I still have to report back to Master. You arrange a place for the new Junior Apprentice Brothers and Sister on my behalf then," Mo Yuntian said.


    "Alright. Just go ahead Senior Apprentice Brother, I''ll settle it."


    "Hmm, place Junior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng in the Pill Barracks, Long Tang in the Human Barracks. As for Junior Apprentice Brother Ye . . ." Speaking until here, Mo Yuntian fell silent for a moment, appearing to be considering how to place Ye Yuan.


    "Don''t worry, Senior Apprentice Brother, I''ll help Junior Apprentice Brother Ye arrange for a nice place in the outer-sect." Zhang Jing followed up.


    The way Zhang Jing saw it, Ye Yuan''s age was too young. This cultivation realm was definitely piled up using medicinal pills, and his strength must be very appalling. It was impossible for him to be a core disciple.


    Hence, the way Zhang Jing saw Ye Yuan was around the same as the disciples on duty at the gate.


    He thought that Mo Yuntian was contemplating how to consider Ye Yuan''s face so as not make him look too bad.


    Unexpectedly, Mo Yuntian waved his hand and said, "You''re mistaken. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is a core disciple. How can he be placed in the outer-sect? How about this, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye will have to put up with it a little and be placed in the Earth Barracks for the time being."


    Zhang Jing was frozen in place when he heard that and did not react for a long time.


    Put up with it a little? Earth Barracks? Senior Apprentice Brother Mo was not having a fever, was he?


    Placing a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm little rookie in the Earth Barracks was even making him suffer?


    The residences of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s core disciples were separated into three levels: Heaven Barracks, Earth Barracks, and Human Barracks.


    The movements in the Human Barracks residences was the greatest because there were frequently people who were eliminated to the outer-sect among them.


    The Earth Barracks was relatively stable. The strength of these people was around the middle among the core disciples. Zhang Jing was staying in the Earth Barracks.


    The Heaven Barracks was the preparatory camp for elite disciples. Every one of the students here had the qualifications to aim for elite disciple!


    Of course, it was just qualifications. Becoming an elite disciple was too difficult!


    Even if there were elite disciples who were eliminated and entered core disciple, they could charge back very quickly. This was the gap between elite disciples and core disciples!


    And within the Heaven Barracks, other than a few very monstrous peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, virtually all of them were half-step Crystal Formation Realm existences!


    This Ye Yuan was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and was going to stay in the same camp as him? You got to joking!


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you don''t have any complaint about me placing you so, right?" Mo Yuntian asked.


    "All according to Senior Apprentice Brother Mo''s arrangements," Ye Yuan said.


    "En, since that''s the case, then I''ll make a move first."


    "Goodbye, Senior Apprentice Brother."


    Mo Yuntian left leisurely, leaving Zhang Jing who was in an utter state of confusion.

 Chapter 217: The Terrifying Purple Center Soul Incantation

    Chapter 217: The Terrifying Purple Center Soul Incantation


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang, shouldn''t we go?" Ye Yuan reminded when he saw Zhang Jing still in a daze.


    Only now did Zhang Jing startle like waking from a dream as he repeatedly nodded, saying, "Oh, okay, okay, I''ll bring you all to collect your identity tokens first."


    Zhang Jing swept a glance over the few people''s faces and could not help being secretly dejected.


    Could it be that these people did not know the difference between the Human Barracks and Earth Barracks? Or else, why would there be no reaction at all?


    Ignoring Long Tang, even Nanfeng Ruoqing''s niece was already Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Ye Yuan being assigned to the Earth Camp by Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, did they not have any thoughts about it at all?


    Musing over it, Zhang Jing could only place this sort of abnormal reaction on their ignorance.


    He even wondered if Ye Yuan had intentionally offended Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, which was why Senior Apprentice Brother Mo would use this kind of method to screw him over.


    No matter what, since Senior Apprentice Brother Mo said so, he just has to do it.


    Zhang Jing brought everyone to retrieve their respective tokens before sending Nanfeng Ruoqing into the Human Barracks first.


    "You guys store the identity tokens well. Not only do they show your identities, but they are also an indispensable item when doing things in the sect. Not only are there detailed information about you on it, but there are also even sect contribution points belonging to you. In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, secular world wealth is utterly useless. All of your actions are closely linked to contribution points! Cultivation venue, medicinal pills, medicinal herbs, cultivation techniques, weapons, and so on, all require contribution points to exchange. In other words, without points, you''ll find it hard to even move an inch forward!" Zhang Jing expounded.


    Ye Yuan inserted his divine sense into the identity token, and as expected, he saw his personal particulars and points.


    "En? There are 100 points in my token. Could this be the original points?" Ye Yuan inquired.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing and Long Tang also inserted their divine sense into the token and as expected, saw that they also had 100 points.


    Zhang Jing nodded and said, "That''s right. No matter what rank of disciple one is, as long as you enter the sect, you''ll have 100 points. But honestly speaking, these 100 points are only a little better than nothing."


    "Oh? Why is that so?" Ye Yuan asked curiously


    Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Take cultivation sites for example. The cultivation venues in the sect are divided into A-grade, B-grade, C-grade, and D-grade tiers. The lowest tier, D-grade cultivation room, requires the consumption of 10 points per day''s use! C-grade cultivation rooms are 50 points per day, B-grade cultivation rooms are 100 points per day, while the highest A-grade cultivation rooms are 200 points per day! 100 points are only enough to cultivate in B-grade cultivation rooms for one day."


    Everyone came to a realization. Only now did they know that these 100 points were simply just to dismiss beggars.


    It seemed like the first thing after entering the sect was not to cultivate, but to earn points.


    Or else, without points equals no cultivation resources. No cultivation resources mean falling behind others. Falling behind others means being eliminated!


    This was a vicious cycle!


    "May I ask Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang how do we get points?" Long Tang who remained silent the entire time asked a question.


    "After all of you settle down, you can go to the Support Star Pavilion to take a look. There are detailed lists of how to obtain points. One look and you''ll know. All in all, if you want to obtain points, then you have to perform a certain level of contribution to the sect and use your contribution to exchange for points. To us, Martial Hall disciples, the way the majority of the people get points is to receive sect missions. After completing the mission, there will be a certain point reward." Zhang Jing did not get annoyed but explained patiently.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing asked with a smile, "I wonder how many points Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang has?"


    Zhang Jing had a faint smile as he said, "My points aren''t considered much among core disciples, just barely 10 thousand points only."


    Even though Zhang Jing said it very modestly, anyone could sense that pride.


    Although Ye Yuan did not know if 10 thousand points was a lot or not, he could tell from Zhang Jing''s tone that this was already quite a number.


    Points was a consumable, meant to be spent. For Zhang Jing to be able to save so many points, it was already evident that he was very amazing.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Jing. "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang, I wonder how many points are needed to exchange for the Purple Center Soul Incantation?"


    Zhang Jing was stunned, but he still answered. "The Purple Center Soul Incantation and the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, these two sets of cultivation skills are the supreme treasures of the sect. The points required are extremely terrifying! The Purple Center Soul Incantation is split into upper and lower volumes. In total, it requires two million points!"


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Even if they did not have much of a general idea towards points right now, they also knew that these two million points were a horrifying number.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed and asked again, "Does it mean that the lower volume of the Purple Center Soul Incantation requires one million points?"


    Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "Not one million, but 1.4 million! The second half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation is extremely profound, therefore, the points to exchange for it is even more!"


    Ye Yuan finally understood why Jiang Yunhe stayed in that sort of place like the State of Qin for over a decade.


    "Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang for resolving my doubts."


    "No need to be courteous."


    Even though he did not show anything on the surface, Zhang Jing was still rather critical towards Ye Yuan''s questions.


    This young man was reaching way beyond his grasp. Only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and he was already thinking about exchanging for the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation. One had to know that it was because there were many Alchemy Grandmasters in the sect who were unable to come up with the points, that was why they remained stuck in that realm!


    Furthermore, as a Martial Hall disciple, shouldn''t he exchange for the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art? Could it be that this Ye Yuan was even thinking about becoming an alchemist?


    Typical case of ignoring one''s proper occupation!


    He obviously did not know that Ye Yuan had long integrated the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art into his own sword intent.


    In a blink, they arrived at the Pill Barracks. Zhang Jing brought Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou to settle the relevant matters, and the group got up and left.


    Then after, they sent Long Tang to the Human Barracks. Zhang Jing, Ye Yuan, and Lu-er, the trio reached the Earth Barracks at last.


    But once they entered the Earth Barracks, many curious eyes started to size up Ye Yuan.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, that south-east room will be your residence in the future. The Earth Barracks have always been more tensed. The location of that house is not great, but you just make do with it first," Zhang Jing pointed to a courtyard in the south-eastern direction and said.


    "No worries. It''s been tough on you along the way, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang. Thank you very much," Ye Yuan said.


    While Ye Yuan knew that this Zhang Jing was kind of looking down on him, he would not mind other people''s looks. After all, he worked hard the entire time, giving thanks was still necessary.


    Bidding farewell to Zhang Jing, Ye Yuan brought Lu-er along and was about to enter the house when several people blocked the path.


    "I heard that our Earth Barracks has a newcomer. Looks like it''s you."


    The one speaking was an 18 or 19-year-old youth, peak Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This was already an exceedingly monstrously existence in the State of Qin.


    However, Ye Yuan reckoned that his strength was likely at the bottom in this Earth Barracks.


    "Move aside!" The other party clearly did not approach with good intentions, so he obviously did not need to be polite either.


    "Hahaha! He''s telling me to move aside? A brat that is even inferior to an outer-sect disciple actually told me to make way! Hahaha!"


    Several people burst into laughter as they clearly felt that Ye Yuan''s joke was hilarious to the max.

 Chapter 218: Sent Flying!

    Chapter 218: Sent Flying!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Hahaha, could it be that nobody told you the first thing to do when you enter the Earth Barracks is to pay respects to our Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng? Want to enter ? Pay respects to our Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng first before talking!" somebody said by the side.


    This Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng was called Ceng Yu, a local tyrant in the Earth Barracks!


    Of course, his overbearingness was only targeted towards those disciples weaker than him, or those disciples that had just entered the Earth Barracks.


    For disciples like Zhang Jing, he would obviously keep a respectful distance away.


    Ceng Yu looked at Ye Yuan placidly and said mockingly, "Want to tell me to move aside? Sure. That will have to depend on whether or not you have the capabilities to tell me to move aside. If you don''t have the abilities, then you''ll stay in that house over there. That''s the place you should be staying in."


    Ye Yuan followed the direction he pointed to and looked over, but it was a hut. With any surprise, it should be the place for firewood and such.


    Zhang Jing had not walked far away yet and naturally saw this scene. But he did not plan on going over to help Ye Yuan. He also really wanted to see just what areas he surpassed others in, to actually make Senior Apprentice Brother Mo send him directly to the Earth Barracks.


    If things really became out of hand, he would naturally come forward to help Ye Yuan sweep away these flies.


    However, if Ye Yuan was purely just a loser, then whether or not he came forward was another matter altogether. That would mean that Senior Apprentice Brother Mo was only just screwing with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed lightly. He said with a helpless face, "Is there no third path that I can choose?"


    Ceng Yu chortled with laughter and said, "Yes! Of course, there is! I''m the most reasonable!"


    Ye Yuan did not speak but waited for Ceng Yu to continue talking.


    "Looking at your appearance, you should have just entered, right? As long as you hand over 100 points, you can stay here tonight for one night. How''s that? This price is still very reasonable, yeah? Not only today. It will be like this in the future too. Every 100 points, one night. If you don''t hand it over, also not an issue. Stay in the hut!" Ceng Yu had a sincere face and looked as if he was a philanthropist.


    Truthfully, students who just entered the Earth Barracks being bullied by this group of people was a recurring event.


    Relying on extorting newcomers, Ceng Yu''s and his gang''s points had always been decent. Their lives in the Earth Barracks were rather pleasant.


    Of course, only this sort of people like him that was the classical case of not desiring to move up and did not have much room for improvement would do this kind of things.


    It was because Ceng Yu could not advance and could not move down that he would choose such a method.


    On this aspect, the sect''s management was not much different from the Dan Wu Academy. As long as one did not violate sect rules and did not cause death, nobody would bother with you being a little tyrannical.


    The martial artist world had always been about talking with strength.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry. On the contrary, Ceng Yu''s words made his eyes light up as he asked curiously, "Points can be transferred privately?"


    "Of course! As long as you''re willing, you can use soul force to transfer the points in your identity token to my token. Such actions are one-way and must be out of your own willingness. How about it? Let''s begin?" Ceng Yu did not think too much and just explained away.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, let''s start!"


    Ceng Yu smirked and fished out his own identity token. He said with a smile, "A man who can recognize the present situation is a great man. I admire you very much, boy! On the account that you''re so forthright, I''ll give you a 20% discount in the future. One night, 80 points!"


    Ceng Yu initially thought that he would need to expend some effort, but who knew that this punk was a loser who directly conceded.


    But thinking about it, Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm matching up with him, one fight was enough for him to lie in bed for half a month. It was naturally not more worthwhile than just directly giving the points.


    Protecting one''s interest and staying away from harm was the move of a wise man!


    However, Ye Yuan did not take out his identity card. Instead, he said with a grin, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, right? I think you''re mistaken. What I meant was that you guys transfer me the points. Well, I''m a very fair person. One night, 200 points are enough."


    Ceng Yu''s face changed. He only knew now that he was being fooled by Ye Yuan. He said icily, "You''re very daring, punk! To actually dare make a mockery out of me, Ceng Yu?"


    "Punk, you''re the one courting death. Don''t blame Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng for not giving you a chance!"


    "Turns out that it''s a tough bone. Really misjudged! Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, I''ll teach this punk a good lesson for you!"


    "To actually dare to trick Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, heh heh, I think you won''t even get to stay in the woodshed."


    The few people by the side also reacted at this time. Each one of them was taking delight in others'' misfortune and even rubbing their hands together, itching for a go.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I also didn''t say to begin transferring to you. It was your own wishful thinking that you thought that way. From today onwards, you guys can sleep in the woodshed for 100 points per night."


    The group of people looked at Ye Yuan like they were staring at a fool. Could this punk have lost his mind?


    But at this juncture, everyone could also tell that today''s matter would not end well.


    Especially Zhang Jing. He initially also thought that Ye Yuan was a loser, laying down his arms and surrendering right away. But he did not think that this matter would have a 180-degree turn. Ye Yuan actually dared to ask protection fee from Ceng Yu!


    Zhang Jing had no idea whether Ye Yuan really had some capabilities or was he simply soft in the head. If not, he was a spoiled young master.


    "Heh heh, really won''t shed tears until you see the coffin! Since you want to sleep out in the open, then I''ll help you!"


    "Wind Thunder Palm!"


    Ceng Yu put away his token and attacked Ye Yuan with a lightning speed palm!


    He was quick, but Ye Yuan was even faster than him!


    Spirit Void Shattering Space was suddenly unleashed. Ye Yuan''s sword finger arrived in front of Ceng Yu in a blink of an eye. He actually arrived first even though he moved later!


    Ceng Yu''s palm hit nothing while Ye Yuan''s sword finger was in contact with his chest!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s pupils shrunk!


    This was precisely deliberate in counsel, prompt in action! A moment earlier, Ye Yuan was still frail like a tiny blade of grass swaying in the wind. The next instant, his entire being transformed into a sharp sword!


    It looked as if Ye Yuan''s sword finger only lightly tapped on Ceng Yu''s chest and did not seem to have used much strength.


    But Ceng Yu''s body directly flew out like he collided with a spring, only stopping after rolling on the floor for over a hundred feet.


    Ye Yuan looked at his sword finger and started frowning. He muttered to himself, "Got to make good use of my time to cultivate. This finger actually failed to even break the protective essence energy!"


    Everyone collectively turned into stone when they heard this sentence from Ye Yuan.


    A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm sent the peak Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ceng Yu flying with one finger and was actually disgruntled with such a battle result?


    Although Ceng Yu was kind of an ass, his strength was not considered weak. If not, he also would not be able to stay securely in the Earth Barracks.


    In the Earth Barracks, even if one wanted to become a local tyrant, they also need some skills!


    Those sect disciples who had just obtained the qualifications to stay in the Earth Barracks were not soft persimmon that anyone could squeeze. Without some capabilities, they might get their faces smacked by them instead.


    But Ceng Yu had never failed to bully new disciples before!


    He would not bully anyone who comes. Before bullying people, he would look at the other person''s performance first. If the other party were a fierce character, he would give up decisively.


    He did not think that he would actually be sent flying by a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm with one finger today!


    "Hey, crawl up if you''re not dead. All of you, come together!" Ye Yuan said to Ceng Yu who was pretending to be dead on the ground.

 Chapter 219: There’s Someone Delivering a Pillow When Taking a Nap!

    Chapter 219: There��s Someone Delivering a Pillow When Taking a Nap!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ceng Yu struggled to crawl up from the ground. He rubbed his faintly aching chest, and the gaze he had toward Ye Yuan with was filled with hatred and rage.


    He originally thought that a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat was easy to bully, but he did not imagine that he would fail right after coming up.


    This time, he lost a great deal of face. Truly a major setback due to carelessness. He did not think that this punk''s speed was so fast!


    Luckily, Ye Yuan was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Otherwise, that blow just now would be him lying in bed for half a month.


    The way he saw it, it was naturally a moment of carelessness for him earlier. He did not think that he would be taken in because Ye Yuan''s speed was fast.


    "Stinking brat, you''re the one who said it. Brothers, there''s no need to be courteous. Give him a proper greeting!"


    Although Ceng Yu felt that it was him being careless just now, he did not dare to be negligent, so he directly called the others to attack together.


    Ceng Yu and his gang were only five men. To Ye Yuan, it was no different from one person.


    Under everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan became nine people just like that.


    "Nine Swords Stance!"


    A faint voice sounded. Nine streaks of force vanished after a flash. Following which, heart-rending cries sounded out here and there. Five people were struck at the same time!


    Of course, the most miserable one was still Ceng Yu. He sustained five streaks of force alone.


    While this force could not kill, he was currently badly battered, contorting his face in agonizing pain.


    "Can you begin now, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng?" Ye Yuan took two steps in front of asked lightly.


    Ceng Yu was startled by Ye Yuan''s actions. He quickly scrambled backward and hurriedly said, "Can, can. I . . . I''ll give you 200 points right now. Don''t attack anymore, Junior Apprentice Brother!"


    Ceng Yu speedily fished out his token and swiped 200 points into Ye Yuan''s token. Ye Yuan''s points instantly became 300.


    At this point, if he still thought that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon, then he would really be a fool.


    How was this a soft persimmon? This was clearly a metal plate!


    He really kicked a metal plate today!


    Ceng Yu was currently regretting until his intestines were green. He heard just now that the newcomer was only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, so he brought people over to collect protection fees without even thinking about it.


    Who knew that he would fail to collect protections fees but had protection fees collected instead!


    How black-hearted!


    Collecting 200 points a night, that was the same price as an A-grade cultivation room!


    He only had 2 thousand points in his token. If this brat were to collect protection fees every day onwards, didn''t that mean that his points would be finished in 10 days?


    This was the type of situation where whatever a person feared, it would happen. After Ye Yuan finished collecting the other people''s points, he opened his mouth again to say, "In future, report here every day. Remember to bring points! You can still choose to stay in the woodshed. It''s very cheap; only 100 points a night. Well, if you don''t come, bear the consequences yourself!"


    "Ah? H-have to come every day?" Ceng Yu enquired with a bitter face.


    "What? Need me to repeat again?" Ye Yuan looked at Ceng Yu and asked with a grin.


    "No no no, definitely come. I will definitely come! This . . . Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, can we . . . leave now?" Ceng Yu asked weakly.


    "Of course, you can. Don''t tell me you still want me to keep you guys here to have a meal?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ceng Yu and the rest felt immediate relief from heavy pressure and hurriedly rolled and crawled away.


    Afterward, under silence, Ye Yuan brought Lu-er into his little court.


    With a bang, the door was shut, startling everyone awake.


    "Where . . . Where did this Junior Apprentice Brother come from? I-is he really Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?"


    "Isn''t that nonsense? Don''t you have eyes? From the start till end, his essence energy undulations has always been Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "But . . . isn''t this too sick? A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm can defeat Ceng Yu. Isn''t this sort of leaping ranks to battle a little too exaggerated?"


    "It''s not a little exaggerated! I''ve never heard of crossing four minor realms to do battle within the sect before! This sort of situation only happens in the secular world, right?"


    "However, this Junior Apprentice Brother is still too rash. He beat Ceng Yu until this manner and even snatched their points. Ceng Yu definitely won''t let this matter go!"


    "Yeah. Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng is estimated to return to the sect soon, yeah? Once he returns, there will be a good show to watch! I wonder if this Junior Apprentice Brother will remain so bold when facing Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng!"


    These people were discussing Ye Yuan but did not know how great the shock Ye Yuan gave Zhang Jing was.


    He was dead sure that Ye Yuan absolutely showed mercy just now!


    Among the people present, Zhang Jing''s cultivation was the highest. Furthermore, he was the same as Mo Yuntian; they both cultivated in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!


    While Zhang Jing''s attainments in Sword Dao could not compare to Mo Yuntian, it was still quite profound.


    Just now, that force appeared to have been struck out with finger skills by Ye Yuan. But Zhang Jing clearly sensed a familiar sword intent!


    It looked like, yet was not really the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent!


    An absurd idea suddenly flashed past Zhang Jing''s mind. Although Ye Yuan''s Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent seemed to appear correct, yet was wrong, it was even stronger than it!


    It was just that Ye Yuan was limited by his strength and could not unleash the true might of this sword intent.


    Even so, this was plenty for him to leap ranks and battle!


    If Ye Yuan was holding a sword in his hand just now, even the most ordinary sword, wanting to kill Ceng Yu was as easy as turning his hand!


    While finger skills could imitate sword intent, compared to a real sword, it was lacking in some parts of killing qi and sharp intent. The attack power would naturally be much lousier.


    Also, Ceng Yu''s realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. Hence, it was quite taxing for Ye Yuan to want to break his protective essence energy.


    This was the source of why Ye Yuan was lamenting about his realm being too low.


    He finally understood now why Senior Apprentice Brother Mo would hesitate on where to place Ye Yuan.


    He was not undecided on whether to place Ye Yuan in the Earth Barracks or Human Barracks, but uncertain on whether or not to put Ye Yuan in the Heaven Barracks!


    Ye Yuan''s talent was not the slightest bit inferior to those freaks in the Heaven Barracks!


    Incorrect, it should be even higher!


    Among those freaks in the Heaven Barracks, which one of them could crush fellow disciples four minor realms higher than them when they were at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, challenging those freaks in the Heaven Barracks was only a matter of time!


    At this current moment, Zhang Jing felt that everything that was illogical become rational.


    Mo Yuntian''s hesitation, Long Tang''s indifference, Nanfeng Ruoqing''s calmness. Before this, Zhang Jing thought that it was very abnormal.


    Only now did he know that they simply felt that it was natural and right!


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan obviously could not be bothered with other people''s astonishment. He was currently feeling quite satisfied.


    He was still worrying that getting points would be very troublesome and very taxing on time. He did not think that there would be someone delivering a pillow when he wanted to take a nap.


    Right after entering the sect and someone delivered 1000 points!


    Adding the original points, he already had 1100 points in this short work.


    Nice one. Now, he could train in the A-grade cultivation room for five whole days.


    To Ye Yuan, the most pressing issue on hand was raising cultivation realm. Ever since the breakthrough when battling with Black Crow Old Man the previous time, a month''s time had already passed.


    During this one month, he experienced several major life and death fights and had consolidated his realm long ago.


    Presently, his breakthrough in cultivation realm was already at hand. It was only waiting for him.


    After settling down in his lodging, Ye Yuan prepared to go to the A-grade cultivation room to cultivate. He planned on breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in a single go!

 Chapter 220: Vying for an A-grade Cultivation Room

    Chapter 220: Vying for an A-grade Cultivation Room


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The next day.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the cultivation venues early in the morning.


    The disciple on duty looked sideways at Ye Yuan and said indifferently, "Swipe your identity token at the green colored light column over there and find the room yourself. There are still many D-grade rooms. Pick anyone you like."


    "I want an A-grade cultivation room." Ye Yuan could not be bothered to explain and said directly.


    That disciple thought that he heard wrongly and asked, "What did you say?"


    "I said I want an A-grade cultivation room!" Ye Yuan repeated again.


    That disciple could not help re-sizing up Ye Yuan before asking curiously, "Do you have so many points?"


    This disciple could not be blamed for looking down on Ye Yuan. Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength was at most the standards of an outer-sect disciple.


    To outer-sect disciples, points were a very luxurious item. Basically, the points they could get were only that 100 points given by the sect right from the start.


    They simply could not acquire a source for points. Even if they went to do sect mission, they could only choose those missions that had very low point rewards; at most several hundred points.


    And to these outer-sect disciples, the difficulty was not an ordinary kind of great. Many people would lose their lives during the missions.


    Even if they obtained several hundred points after completing the mission, it was also impossible for them to bear to use them on A-grade cultivation rooms.


    It was too extravagant!


    Therefore, when this disciple on duty first laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he determined that he could not afford to use cultivation rooms above C-grade!


    Cultivation rooms were all supported by Spirit Gathering Formations. The richness of essence energy was much greater than the outside world.


    The weakest D-grade cultivation room was twice of the outside world. C-grade was thrice, B-grade was six times, while A-grade was 10 times!


    In terms of price, A-grade cultivation rooms were 20 times of D-grade rooms, but the effect was only 10 times. Logically speaking, D-grade cultivation rooms were more worth it.


    But for martial artists, the price was not calculated like this.


    What they pursued was speed!


    10 times the cultivation speed could save far too much time!


    Once a martial artist''s age reach a certain level, and their potential was exhausted, then no matter how much they strived, it would also be of no avail.


    To martial artists, time was cultivation. Time was power. Time was status!


    Towards such discrimination, Ye Yuan had long grown accustomed to it and was disinclined to fuss over it. He directly swiped his identity token on the red-colored light column five times.


    The light columns were divided into red, orange, yellow and green, these four colors. They represented A, B, C, D, the four types of cultivation rooms respectively.


    This swiping from Ye Yuan directly deducted 1000 points. He returned back to an era of extreme poverty.


    Ye Yuan''s actions stunned that disciple on duty in his place. This was the first time he had witnessed such a nouveau riche outer-sect disciple.


    "I want to use five days of A-grade cultivation room. Senior Apprentice Brother, please arrange for it."


    That disciple on duty was dazed for some time before coming around and said, "Uh, just right. There''s one last A-grade cultivation room left. This is the secret key to the cultivation room."


    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to be stunned. He did not think that the A-grade cultivation rooms were so popular. There was actually only one left.


    Didn''t people say that points were very precious? Why were there so many rich people?


    However, Ye Yuan was not in the mood to be concerned about it. He took over the secret key and was about to enter to cultivate.


    Right then, a burly man barged inside with much haste and said to the disciple on duty, "I want an A-grade cultivation room, 10 days!"


    The disciple on duty looked at Ye Yuan and looked at the burly man before saying awkwardly, "Se-Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, sorry about this, but the last A-grade cultivation room has already been rented by this Junior Apprentice Brother."


    The burly man brass bell-like eyes went wide open, and he said angrily, "En? What did you say?"


    The disciple on duty jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, n-none of my business. This Junior Apprentice Brother arrived a little before you and already charged his points. According to the rules . . ."


    "What rules?! This Father of yours makes the rules! What the hell is he, a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, using the A-grade cultivation room for? Hey, boy, give me the secret key; I''ll pass you the points you spent!" Senior Apprentice Brother Dao bellowed at Ye Yuan. It did not sound like a discussing tone no matter how one listened to it.


    "This Junior Apprentice Brother is a newcomer, right? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai Zichen is one of the hottest rising star in the Pill Barracks. Give him the place. Befriending him will bring huge benefits to you in the future!" The disciple on duty also tried to chime in.


    Dai Zichen was also delighted when he heard that and said with a smile, "Haha , what he said is right. Boy, give the place to me! In future, if you have any problems, come directly to the Pill Barracks to find me. I''ll cover you!"


    Ye Yuan originally could not be bothered to deal with this Senior Apprentice Brother Dao. But seeing that he was so arrogant, he smiled and said, "Fine. 2000 points and I''ll sell it to you."


    "What did you say? 2000 points? Why don''t you go and rob!" Dai Zichen froze before becoming enraged.


    This change of hands directly doubled the points. Wasn''t this messing with him?


    "Not buying? If you''re not buying, then I''m going in to cultivate already." Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around straight away and prepared to head for the cultivation room.


    "Halt! I''m telling you to halt!"


    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued walking there.


    Dai Zichen was infuriated. With a flash, he grabbed at Ye Yuan.


    "Heh heh, this boy still doesn''t know Senior Apprentice Brother Dai''s prowess yet, right? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai is not only amazing at alchemy, but he''s also extremely powerful in the Martial Path; one of the few alchemy and martial dual prodigies in the sect! A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm dare to be disrespectful to Senior Apprentice Brother Dai. Isn''t this courting death?" The disciple on duty took delight in others'' misfortune secretly.


    Dai Zichen''s figure was clearly very burly, but the movements when he made his move was extremely nimble. In a blink of an eye, he reached Ye Yuan''s back.


    But right then, the view in front of Dai Zichen blurred. Nine Ye Yuans appeared in front of his eyes instantly.


    This grab actually missed!


    Being taken by surprise, Dai Zichen staggered and nearly tumbled to the ground.


    By the time he stabilized his body and wanted to look for Ye Yuan again, Ye Yuan already disappeared.


    "Uh . . . Where''s that punk?" Dai Zichen asked the disciple on duty rather bewilderedly.


    The expression on the disciple on duty was very interesting. He was very excited about seeing Ye Yuan make a fool of himself, but in the end, it was Dai Zichen who was played by Ye Yuan. That excited expression directly froze in place.


    Dai Zichen was Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. He actually failed to catch a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm?


    How was this possible?


    Hearing Dai Zichen posed a question, the disciple on duty abruptly woke up and stuttered, "He already went in."


    Four eyes met and remained silent for a long time.


    "Hey, what''s that kid''s background? A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually have such strength?" Dai Zichen enquired curiously.


    "Uh, let me check."


    Ye Yuan swiped his identity token, so his information was naturally also recorded by the light column. The disciple on duty could easily find it.


    The disciple on duty inserted his soul force into the red colored light column and started to search for Ye Yuan''s information.


    "Ye Yuan, age 15, Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, status . . ."


    The disciple on duty read out as he retrieved the information, but paused at the end.


    "What about the status? Say it!" Dai Zichen asked anxiously by the side.


    The disciple on duty stared at Dai Zichen and said somewhat uncertainly, "Status is Martial Hall''s Earth Barracks'' disciple! Uh . . . Could it be that the identity token has an error? How can a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm be an Earth Barracks disciple?"


    Dai Zichen''s eyes rolled, and he said with a chuckle, "How can it be wrong? If he''s not an Earth Barracks student, how could he possibly evade this grab of mine?"

 Chapter 221: Ye Yuan Is Under My Protection!

    Chapter 221: Ye Yuan Is Under My Protection!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "But even if a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm were very heaven-defying, being in the Human Barracks was already at the limits, right? Isn''t being in the Earth Barracks too exaggerated?" The disciple on duty still did not dare to quite believe it.


    "What the hell do you know?! Heh heh, looks like a very interesting fellow has arrived at the Martial Hall. I want 10 days of A-grade cultivation room. Once a room is available, notify me."


    Finishing, Dai Zichen directly swiped 2000 points on the red-colored light column.


    Although A-grade cultivation rooms were expensive, because there were few in number, it would frequently be in a saturated state. This swipe from Dai Zichen was equivalent to waiting in the queue.


    Dai Zichen was just about to wait in the rest area when five disciples entered the door all at once.


    "I want B-grade cultivation room, 10 days!" The person at the front said to the disciple on duty.


    "Me too, 10 days!"


    "Also me!"


    "D*mn, I also want 10 days! Even if Your Father spends finish all the points, I won''t give these points Ye Yuan, that stinking brat either!"


    "That''s right! After Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng returns, we''ll definitely give that stinking brat a good one!"


    These few people were Ceng Yu and his gang who were beaten up mercilessly by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan made them report to hand over points every day. This was seriously wretched. Ignoring that it was humiliating, they even had to hand over their hard-earned points with both hands.


    The few people put their heads together and thought of a plan, which was to hide in the cultivation rooms.


    The cultivation rooms forbid other people from disturbing. No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he also would not dare to enter the cultivation rooms to drag them out, right?


    Ceng Yu''s elder brother, Ceng Cheng was going to return very soon. As long as they endured until he came back, would they need to be scared of one Ye Yuan?


    Dai Zichen was originally disinclined to bother with these people. When he suddenly heard Ye Yuan''s name, he could not help becoming curious.


    Could it be that the Ye Yuan in their conversation was the same person as that boy he encountered just now?


    "Hey, you people. Who is this Ye Yuan you guys were just talking about?" Dai Zichen asked right in their faces.


    "Ah, so it''s Senior Apprentice Brother Dai! I pay respects to Senior Apprentice Brother Dai. Last time, I even heard from Big Brother that Senior Apprentice Brother Dai is an alchemy and martial dual prodigy. Even he admires very much."


    Ceng Yu clearly recognized Dai Zichen. The Pill Hall disciples were all in great demand. In order to get closer to him, Ceng Yu even pulled out Ceng Cheng.


    Dai Zichen waved his hands in irritation and said, "Answer my question!"


    Recalling Ye Yuan, the expression on Ceng Yu''s face instantly became embarrassed.


    "Ha . . . Haha,he''s just a mere nobody. How is it worth Senior Apprentice Brother Dai''s attention?" Ceng Yu gave a chuckle and tried to smoke things over.


    "A nobody? What''s with the injury on your face?" How can Dai Zichen be so easy to hoodwink? Seeing the expression on Ceng Yu''s face, he knew that there must have been some unpleasant incident that happened between them.


    Furthermore, these few people were clearly injured. It was evident that they were the ones who suffered a loss.


    "This . . . This . . ." Ceng Yu stammered and could not speak.


    Dai Zichen''s face darkened as he said, "I am asking you again; is this Ye Yuan from your conversation is the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who had just entered the sect?"


    "Ah? Yes! Could it be . . . that Senior Apprentice Brother Dai has met him before?" Ceng Yu did not know how Dai Zichen knew Ye Yuan.


    Dai Zichen nodded and said, "Not only did we meet, we even exchanged blows!"


    "Exchanged blows?" Ceng Yu was stunned when he heard it at first and immediately be overjoyed as he said, "Haha, that punk is really unbridled, to actually dare provoke Senior Apprentice Brother Dai! He must have been had the crap beaten out of him by Senior Apprentice Brother Dai, right?"


    Dai Zichen snickered and said, "Nothing like that. I failed!"


    "Wha-What? Senior Apprentice Brother Dai attacked and actually failed? This . . . How''s this possible?" Disbelief was written all over Ceng Yu''s face.


    "Enough crap! Failed means failed! Don''t tell me I''ll even deceive you? Hearing your intentions just now, are you planning on making Ceng Cheng find him to settle the scores?" Dai Zichen asked threateningly.


    "Ah . . . Ahh?" Ceng Yu''s brain could not quite process it.


    Didn''t Dai Zichen say that he exchanged blows with Ye Yuan earlier? Why was he protecting him now?


    This was all rather baffling!


    "Ah? What ah? I asked if you heard me?" Dai Zichen said with a glare.


    "H-Heard it! We . . . We won''t find any trouble with him!" Ceng Yu said weakly.


    Speaking of which, Ceng Cheng''s strength was around the same as Dai Zichen. But he could not compete because he was a Pill Hall disciple!


    Pill Hall core disciples, which one of them were not flourishing with each passing day? Not for anything else, but because they could affect the Martial Hall disciples'' monthly salary!


    The so-called monthly salary was the medicinal pills that disciples collect from the sect every month. It was given away for free by the sect for disciples'' cultivation use.


    However, these medicinal pills were only the most basic medicinal pills. Furthermore, there wasn''t much of it.


    If they wanted to use better medicinal pills, they still needed to use points to exchange.


    But which martial artist would mind having more medicinal pills for cultivation purposes?


    This was also the reason why Pill Hall disciples were arrogant!


    "If you heard it, then good. Now, scram inside and cultivate! If you let me find out that you dare to cause trouble behind the scenes, you know the consequences!" Dai Zichen returned to the rest area.


    Ceng Yu and co exchanged glances. The originally unbridled arrogance instantly vanished with a trace.


    They were still hoping to regain face after Ceng Cheng returns, but now . . .


    Ignoring all other things, Ceng Cheng definitely would not offend Dai Zichen just for a Ye Yuan!


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not know that the burly man just now actually helped him block a wave of trouble. Of course, even if he knew, it did not matter.


    After entering the cultivation room, Ye Yuan directly started to impact the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    After experiencing several major battles, Ye Yuan''s realm was also incomparably solid. It was just that he always did not have time to breakthrough.


    Presently, Ye Yuan just lightly prodded and broke through this layer of window paper straight away.


    A wild essence energy tempest formed inside the cultivation room. After being refined via the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, it finally formed nine spirit liquid drops inside Ye Yuan''s Dantian!


    The Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan currently already possessed 27 spirit liquid drops inside his Dantian!


    While the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Long Tang currently only had 25 spirit liquid drops!


    Following the rise in realm, the gap between Ye Yuan and other Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists would become increasingly greater!


    "Hmm, this Spirit Gathering Formation is pretty good. It can actually withstand my consumption. These 1000 points were not wasted." Ye Yuan who had a breakthrough in cultivation realm was rather pleased with this A-grade cultivation room.


    The heaven and earth essence energy he expended when breaking through realms was more than double of the average person. Yet, this spirit gathering formation could provide essence energy unceasingly. These 1000 points were naturally well-spent.


    Of course, even if it was not worth it, he did not feel any heartache either. It was given by other people anyway, no big deal.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan spent an entire day to consolidate the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    The second day, he took out a medicinal pill from the storage ring and directly swallowed it into his abdomen.


    This was the transcendent-grade Essence Spirit Pill that Ye Yuan refined before coming to the sect. He planned on breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in one go!

 Chapter 222: Sect Decree

    Chapter 222: Sect Decree


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    While Ye Yuan was in retreat, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Nanfeng Zhirou, and Long Tang came together as a group.


    They were originally thinking of inviting Ye Yuan to take a look at the Support Star Pavilion together to see if there were any ways to get points as soon as possible. But they heard from Lu-er that Ye Yuan went into a closed-seclusion. The trio could not help being dumbfounded.


    After clarifying the whereabouts of where Ye Yuan''s points came from, the few people exchanged glances again.


    "Hehe, this fellow''s cultivation realm is too deceptive. He doesn''t even need to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. Just standing there and there are people giving points." Nanfeng Zhirou was the first one who could not resist laughing.


    Hearing Nanfeng Zhirou''s words, the group also could not hold back their laughter.


    What she said was right. Ye Yuan''s Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength was indeed too deceptive. His true strength far surpassed this.


    "Since Ye Yuan was in such a rush to enter a retreat, looks like his realm had reached a bottleneck long ago. After he exits seclusion, he''ll probably have broken through to the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm already," Long Tang said.


    "En. With Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed, he should have indeed broken through long ago," Nanfeng Ruoqing said in agreement.


    "Since that''s the case, we don''t have the need to stay anymore. Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng, let''s go down to the Support Star Pavilion." Long Tang also changed his form of address to Nanfeng.


    "En, alright." Nanfeng Ruoqing naturally did not have any objections.


    Right then, a voice sounded out from outside.


    "Is Junior Apprentice Brother Ye present? I''m Mo Yuntian."


    Lu-er opened the door and invited Mo Yuntian in, saying, "How are you, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo? Young Master went to the cultivation room to undergo a retreat. He said it will probably take five days."


    Mo Yuntian was also speechless when he heard that. "Went to the cultivation rooms? Haha, that''s really diligent. But him going to the cultivation rooms now isn''t appropriate, right? With his talent, going to the D-grade cultivation rooms is a waste of time!"


    Lu-er smiled and recounted the incident that happened yesterday once more to Mo Yuntian.


    Mo Yuntian involuntarily shook his head when he heard that and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is really an extraordinary person. He did something like robbing points right after entering the sect. But those fellows also deserved it. It''s just . . . Master finally squeezed some time out today and wanted to summon Ye Yuan. Didn''t think that he entered a retreat instead. I''m afraid . . ."


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo is worried about the Ouyang Family?" Nanfeng Ruoqing clearly knew the inside information and followed up.


    Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "That''s right. With the Ouyang Family''s influence, the news of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye entering the sect definitely can''t be concealed. They have most likely been waiting for this day for a long time. Originally, Master wanted to see Ye Yuan first to think of a countermeasure after understanding the situation. After five days . . . probably won''t make it."


    "Then . . . Then what to do?" Lu-er asked worriedly.


    Mo Yuntian remained silent.


    Right then, another voice sounded from outside the door.


    "Sect decree is here! Ye Yuan, receive the decree!"


    Everyone''s brows knitted together, thinking to themselves that it came so quickly!


    The group went out and saw a youth around the same age as Mo Yuntian with an imposing manner.


    "Xin Lie, you guys really can''t wait!" Mo Yuntian said coolly, his words carrying derision.


    "Mo Yuntian, you don''t have to be so sarcastic! This sect decree is also not issued by me. I''m only here under orders! Ask Ye Yuan to come out! The sect commands Ye Yuan to immediately leave for the main peak to undergo the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing!" Xin Lie said icily.


    Mo Yuntian''s complexion changed, but he said, "You came one step late. Ye Yuan has already entered the cultivation room. He will only exit seclusion five days later."


    Xin Lie was confused when he heard that. Wasn''t that Ye Yuan a newcomer? Why would he have points to enter the cultivation rooms?


    Could it be that he entered the D-grade cultivation rooms in order to hide from the sect decree?


    However, one may get off today, but not tomorrow. He had to receive this sect decree eventually!


    Furthermore, didn''t the more he try to hide, the more it showed his guilt? Seemed like the matter of this boy stealing pill formulas was almost certainly true.


    "Since that''s the case, goodbye!


    Finishing, Xin Lie left without even turning back.


    "Who was that person? What a powerful air!" Long Tang asked.


    "He''s from the Disciplinary Hall, the Hall Head''s direct disciple, Xin Lie. His cultivation is not beneath mine! This Xin Lie is also someone who cleared the Nine Heavens Road!" Mo Yuntian said.


    "No wonder he was so powerful! It''s just, he left just like that?"


    Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "The sect decree is personally issued by the sect master. The command is extremely powerful and must be passed onto Ye Yuan! And after Ye Yuan receives the sect decree, he must carry it out right away! Since Xin Lie knows that Ye Yuan went to the cultivation rooms, he''ll surely search there first. After confirming it, he will return to report it and go back to the cultivation rooms to wait for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion!"


    "Ah? Doesn''t that mean that we won''t even get to see Ye Yuan?" Nanfeng Ruoqing said worriedly.


    Mo Yuntian nodded and did not say anything.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, what''s the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing that Xin Lie was talking about?" Long Tang asked.


    "Apart from the Martial Hall and Pill Hall, the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has an independent Disciplinary Hall. The Tri-Hall Joint Hearing is combining these three halls together to commence a ruling towards Ye Yuan''s actions! If the ruling is guilty . . ."


    Mo Yuntian did not continue talking. Everyone could guess the result.


    "Then doesn''t that mean that us coming to the sect is like sheep entering a tiger''s jaws?" Lu-er''s words were rather direct when talking due to concern towards her master.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing hurriedly pulled Lu-er. Now was clearly not the time to be saying this.


    Mo Yuntian was the only person who could save Ye Yuan now. If they offended him too, Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    However, Mo Yuntian did not mind it. Instead, he smiled at Lu-er and said, "Miss Lu-er need not worry. Ye Yuan is Ancestor Lu Yan''s successor. The person Master holds the most respect for in this life is Ancestor Lu Yan. Whatever happens, Master will also defend Ye Yuan strongly! Moreover, how the final ruling is to be passed is still up to the sect master."


    With Mo Yuntian saying this, everyone also felt much more reassured. But the atmosphere was still very stifling.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan remained completely focused on impacting the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm in full force inside the A-grade cultivation room!


    Although the spirit liquid drops condensed in each minor realm during the Spirit Condensation Realm was the same, the difficulty was different.


    This was like filling a container with water. At the start, the container was empty, wanting to fill it was naturally very easy.


    But as more and more water goes in, the difficulty of storing more would increase.


    The essence energy spirit liquid in the Dantian merely looked like a few drops, but it was already in a saturated state.


    Wanting to break through to the next realm, one had to compress the spirit liquid once more to make space for the spirit liquid condensed in the future.


    Therefore, the further down Spirit Condensation Realm one went, the difficulty of breakthrough would rise exponentially.


    In comparison, Ye Yuan''s difficulty of breaking through was much greater than the average Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    Because he condensed the perfect nine drops of spirit liquid!


    Compressing one spirit liquid drop and compressing nine spirit liquid drops, the difference in difficulty was not as simple as nine times.


    Luckily, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was overbearing enough, Ye Yuan''s experience was sufficiently abundant, and along with the assistance from the transcendent-grade medicinal pill, these challenges were not a problem to Ye Yuan.


    Four days after Ye Yuan entered the cultivation room, an essence energy storm formed once again!

 Chapter 223: The Divine Text Reappears!

    Chapter 223: The Divine Text Reappears!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Dai Zichen was already infinitely close to half-step Crystal Formation Realm. He entered a closed-seclusion this time because he planned on consolidating his realm even further so as to breakthrough to half-step Crystal Formation Realm.


    Currently, Dai Zichen''s condition was very good. He felt that he could roughly break through cultivation realms after another one or two attempts!


    "En? What''s the matter? Why did the essence energy in the cultivation room become weaker?"


    Dai Zichen who was in a cultivation state the whole time was suddenly startled awake by this situation which occurred suddenly.


    Shutting his eyes to sense things, Dai Zichen discovered that the essence energy in his cultivation room was weakening rapidly as if it was being plundered by something!


    "Damn it! Damn it! Right when my training reached its critical point. Why did something happen to the cultivation room? This sort of situation has never happened before!" Dai Zichen was very annoyed.


    His training just now had just reached the critical point, with some signs of an imminent break through.


    Dai Zichen knew that once these signs appeared a few more times, he should be able to break through successfully!


    But such an abstruse state was forcefully interrupted. It could be seen just how depressed he was. He could not understand just why this kind of situation would occur in a perfectly fine cultivation room?


    Under the current situation, Dai Zichen evidently could not continue cultivating anymore.


    That sort of mysterious state was not something that could be entered every time. Once the state was interrupted, wanting to find it again was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Fortunately, people who exited seclusion in advance can refund the unused points. At least it was not wasted.


    Dai Zichen walked out of his cultivation room dejectedly. When he arrived at the hall, he discovered that this place was already in a mess.


    "What are you doing? I already found the feeling of breaking through just now. Why did the essence energy suddenly disappear? Points is a small matter, but who will compensate for my condition?" exclaimed an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciple.


    Hearing these words, Dai Zichen''s mood instantly became much better. Indeed, it was much nicer to have others sharing in the suffering!


    However, he also felt miserable at the same time.


    He thought that it was his cultivation room which encountered issues. Looking at it now, it was far from him alone!


    There were many people shouting and clamoring in the hall. They were clearly complaining about the essence energy which suddenly vanished.


    Just what on earth happened? This kind of situation had never occurred in the cultivation rooms before!


    Dai Zichen suddenly cast a glance sideways. His expression could not help changing when he saw a person. He went up to greet. "I''ve seen Senior Apprentice Brother Xin. Why is Senior Apprentice Brother Xin here? Could it be due to the issue of the cultivation room''s essence energy vanishing?"


    This person was precisely Xin Lie who was waiting for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.


    However, he did not manage to wait for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion, but he waited until problems arose with the cultivation rooms'' essence energy.


    Xin Lie replied lightly, "No. I''m waiting for somebody here."


    Although Dai Zichen was not an elite disciple, his status in the sect was still very high. Xin Lie evidently recognized him too. If it were some other person, Xin Lie would not even be inclined to answer.


    However, his words made Dai Zichen become more doubtful. What kind of person could afford to have Senior Apprentice Brother Xin personally wait at the cultivation rooms?


    Presently, the disciple on duty was already covered in sweat. He had never encountered this sort of outbreak situation.


    "Everybody, senior apprentice brothers, don''t panic! I''ve already reported the problem here upstairs. Elder Peng is currently rushing over. Ah, Elder Peng, you''re finally here!" When that disciple on duty saw Elder Peng, he immediately behaved as if he had suffered greatly.


    Elder Peng saw all the disciples flooding this place until even water could not flow. He frowned and said, "What do you all think you''re doing, kicking up such a fuss! All get lost outside for me and wait there! If anyone dares to cause a disturbance, they will be barred from using the cultivation rooms for a month!"


    With Elder Peng blowing his top, everyone immediately lowered their banners and muffled their drums, and scrammed outside meekly.


    Nobody wished to delay a month of cultivation time!


    After everyone left, there were only Xin Lie and several top character core disciples left in the hall. They went up to pay respects to Elder Peng.


    Elder Peng could not help being involuntarily stunned when he saw Xin Lie. But he did not say anything. Instead, he asked the disciple on duty, "What in the world happened? Explain in detail."


    "Replying Elder Peng, 15 minutes ago, the cultivations rooms were all fine. But no idea why, all the essence energy in the cultivation rooms suddenly started to disappear rapidly, like they were being emptied out," the disciple on duty replied.


    Elder Peng mused for a minute, clearly thinking about the various possibilities for this kind of situation to occur.


    "I''ll go take a look at the Spirit Gathering Formation," Elder Peng said.


    Elder Peng''s name was Peng Liming, a Tier 4 array master in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. His Array Dao cultivation was very incredible.


    The Spirit Gathering Formations inside the cultivation rooms was a mid-sized array. It relied on the sect''s grand array. The formations in the cultivation rooms would siphon a portion of the heaven and earth essence energy absorbed by the sect''s grand array. Then, it will send it to every cultivation room through the array formations.


    This array formation had someone maintaining it all year round, and there had never been problems that occurred. Today''s circumstances were truly quite unexpected.


    Elder Peng inspected the array formation carefully and said in bewilderment, "There''s nothing wrong with the array pivot. The grand array itself is also fine. Could the problems have occurred over at the cultivation rooms?"


    Elder Peng went to the relevant array formations for controlling the cultivation rooms and inspected it carefully.


    This inspection immediately revealed that something was wrong.


    "En? So this is it! All the essence energy are actually heading into one cultivation room! It''s just that . . . who has such great capabilities to actually be able to plunder so much essence energy?" Peng Liming became doubtful again.


    Returning to the hall, Peng Liming asked the disciple on duty, "Who''s using the A-grade cultivation room, No. 43?"


    "Uh, it''s a disciple called Ye Yuan," the disciple on duty revealed.


    Not that the disciple on duty was very responsible to remember the cultivation rooms for every disciple, but because he had a very strong impression of Ye Yuan. Hence, he reported it right away.


    Elder Peng had no special feelings when he said that, but Xin Lie''s and Dai Zichen''s expression changed.


    "Oh, that so? I want to see just what kind of deity this Ye Yuan is, to actually have such capabilities to absorb so much heaven and earth essence energy!" A thick curiosity welled up in Peng Liming.


    . . . . . .


    Causing such an incident was naturally unintentional on Ye Yuan''s part.


    In reality, he also did not imagine that his breaking through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm would actually need to absorb so much heaven and earth essence energy!


    The initial breakthrough was very normal and also under Ye Yuan''s control.


    But when he broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and stepped into the Middle Stage Spirit Condensation Realm, that sort of feeling like the divine soul was rent asunder appeared once again!


    Every breakthrough in a minor stage, there would also be a minor transformation for the divine soul. It was just that the pain during Ye Yuan''s transformation process was far more agonizing compared to ordinary martial artists.


    However, the torment this time was still far from comparable to when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Ye Yuan no longer wished to recall that feeling.


    As expected, the golden characters in his sea of consciousness emerged once more, like that time when he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Once the divine text appeared, they began to absorb heaven and earth essence energy frenziedly!


    Luckily, the cultivation room was pretty capable and could provide essence energy unceasingly.


    After a long while, the cultivation room finally became peaceful again, and Ye Yuan also successfully broke through to Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

 Chapter 224: Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! High-rank Alchemy Master!

    Chapter 224: Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! High-rank Alchemy Master!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Examining his soul force, Ye Yuan was overjoyed.


    Indeed, this kind of soul-rending pain was not all for naught. His current soul force actually broke through to the high-rank Alchemy Master standard already!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could sense that his soul force seemed to be that teensy bit stronger than ordinary high-rank Alchemy Masters!


    The divine text was really unexpectedly powerful!


    Ever since acquiring these golden characters, Ye Yuan would frequently undergo visualization in his sea of consciousness. But this one month plus, there was no progress at all.


    No wonder his father, Ji Zhengyang said that he only had some superficial knowledge.


    Too hard!


    Each character, every stroke, all encompassed the maxim of the Great Dao. Even though Ye Yuan once stood at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao, it was also difficult to see its entirety.


    However, these golden characters seemed to have a life of its own. Every time Ye Yuan broke through, they could come out by themselves and assist Ye Yuan''s soul transformation!


    No matter what, this was a good thing for Ye Yuan!


    The present Ye Yuan was only middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm, but already had the soul force of a high-rank Alchemy Master. This was plenty for him to do many things!


    Such as, refining Tier 3 medicinal pills!


    Of course, to Ye Yuan, high-grade Tier 3 medicinal pills were still beyond his power. But low-grade Tier 3 medicinal pills were no longer something challenging to Ye Yuan!


    Yuan Fei had helped out quite a bit ever since following him. He even fought with a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. It was time for some repayment.


    "Uh, already five days. The Ouyang Family is most likely panicking from waiting, right? I''ll go and meet this Ouyang Family!"


    Ye Yuan was so confident not because he broke through in Spirit Condensation Realm, but because it stemmed from his tremendous Alchemy Path strength!


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan!'' Dai Zichen who noticed Ye Yuan first called out.


    With his call, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.


    Everyone here had different thoughts, but they were all waiting quietly for Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.


    "En? You . . . You actually broke through to Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Only used five days!" After Ye Yuan walked out, Dai Zichen''s pupils involuntarily constricted as he exclaimed in shock.


    "Isn''t entering a retreat to breakthrough realms a very normal thing? What''s there to make a fuss about?" Peng Liming said crossly.


    Dai Zichen smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Peng doesn''t understand. Ye Yuan was only Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm before entering seclusion! Five days time and he broke through two realms consecutively!"


    "What? What did you say? Breaking through two realms consecutively in five days? What kind of joke is this?" It was now Peng Liming''s turn to be alarmed.


    The Spirit Condensation Realm was not like the Essence Qi Realm. Even the top disciples in the sect would require several months before they could breakthrough a realm!


    When Dai Zichen said that Ye Yuan broke through two realms consecutively in five days, Peng Liming instinctively took it that he was making a joke.


    Xin Lie remained silent by the side, but astonishment flickered across his eyes. This was also his first time seeing Ye Yuan. He was still unaware that he was only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm before this.


    "Elder Peng, how would I dare to crack such a joke with you? He and I came into contact before he entered seclusion. He was indeed Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. That''s right! If you don''t believe me, ask him!" Dai Zichen pointed to the disciple on duty.


    Seeing Elder Peng''s probing gaze, the disciple on duty nodded and said, "What Senior Apprentice Brother Dai said is correct. Ye Yuan was indeed Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm before entering closed-seclusion."


    "Hiss . . . This boy is actually so freakish. Truly remarkable! Ye Yuan, let me ask you, what did you do inside the cultivation room just now?" Peng Liming asked.


    Ye Yuan instinctively sensed that things were not good, but he still answered honestly, "This disciple was naturally breaking through cultivation realms inside. Could it be that there are still other things that one can do in five days time? Moreover, the A-grade cultivation rooms are so expensive. Nobody would be willing to waste time doing something else, right?"


    "Uh . . ." Peng Liming was left speechless.


    That was right. Breaking through two realms consecutively in five days, what other things could he be doing inside? How was it possible?


    In reality, Ye Yuan was truly only breaking through realms. Except, not only did he breakthrough Martial Path realm, he even broke through divine soul realm under the aid of the divine texts!


    This point, he obviously would not tell outsiders.


    The average divine soul realm breakthrough did not have such a large commotion.


    "Do you know what happened while you were in retreat inside?" Peng Liming asked gloomily.


    "Uh, this Disciple is unaware. Elder Peng, please clarify." Ye Yuan really did not know what happened.


    Elder Peng recounted the incident for Ye Yuan, leaving Ye Yuan astounded after hearing it too. He could never have imagined that his breakthrough would actually bring about such a huge influence.


    "Apologies. Because the cultivation method that this Disciple is training in is rather special, I require vast amounts of essence energy to support when breaking through. I really did not think that it would end up like this," Ye Yuan apologized.


    "Haha, no worries! For the sect to have a genius disciple like you, it''s the sect''s fortune! Such a trifling matter is not worth mentioning. However, if you want to breakthrough realms again in the future, you can come and let me know first. I''ll help you adjust the Spirit Gathering Formation to avoid affecting the other disciples'' training." Elder Peng burst into laughter.


    "This Disciple knows. Thank you, Elder Peng!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and gave thanks.


    Ye Yuan could sense that this Elder Peng was the same type of person as Lu Yan. As long as it was something beneficial to the sect''s development, he would spare no effort to do it, even if it cost him his life!


    Right then, Xin Lie who was by the sides finally moved.


    He slowly walked in front of Ye Yuan. He saluted Elder Peng first and said, "Elder Peng, this disciple is here to convey the sect decree to Ye Yuan!"


    Elder Peng''s expression changed but did not say anything. Nodding, he withdrew to one side.


    Xin Lie turned to Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Sect decree has arrived. Ye Yuan, receive the decree!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin Lie and immediately understood. He rolled his eyes and said, "No need to block me here, right? I''m already here in the sect. Could it be that you''re afraid I''ll run?"


    Xin Lie ignored Ye Yuan''s mocking, and he repeated his words. "Sect decree has arrived. Ye Yuan, receive the decree!"


    "Alright, alright. I''ll receive it. So cold and frosty, what the fun in being like an ice sculpture?" Ye Yuan words made Dai Zichen who was by the side sweat heavily.


    Was this punk fearless due to ignorance, or was he sufficiently rampant?


    This was the Senior Apprentice Brother Xin Lie hailed as Unparalleled Sword. He actually dared to speak in this manner?


    Dai Zichen was already completely speechless. The reason why he helped to shield Ye Yuan was actually that he wanted to have a match with Ye Yuan himself. He did not imagine that he was not even qualified. He was about to meet the sect master right away.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s attitude, Xin Lie remained unperturbed. He just casually fired out a streak of green light.


    Ye Yuan reached out to receive it, but it was a jade substance token. This was presumably the sect decree.


    Ye Yuan inserted his divine sense into it and said with a frown, "What the hell is Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? Do you want me to go along with you?"


    Xin Lie nodded and said, "That''s right!"


    "Then let''s go. Don''t let those old fellows from the Pill Hall wait until they panic." Finishing, Ye Yuan left with Xin Lie.


    Dai Zichen was already so shocked that he could not say anything.


    Tri-Hall Joint Hearing!


    What kind of trouble did Ye Yuan cause?

 Chapter 225: Are You Talking About This?

    Chapter 225: Are You Talking About This?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A great majestic hall at the main peak of the Spirit Blessing Mountain.


    Xin Lie led Ye Yuan along and stood in the center of the hall.


    "Sect Master, Ye Yuan has been brought here!"


    Xin Lie finished this sentence and retread.


    Ye Yuan unwittingly sized up the imposing looking middle-aged man in the middle of the great hall. He should be the current sect master of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Luo Qingfeng!


    Luo Qingfeng''s person was not equal to his name. His entire being''s sharp edge was withdrawn. If not for sitting in the middle of the great hall, he would be like an ordinary person, which gave people a fleeting and ephemeral sensation.


    Luo Qingfeng was also sizing up Ye Yuan. He was clearly very interested in this little fellow who feared nothing and no one.


    This was the first time he saw a youth that could still remain so calm and unworried when facing the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing.


    "Insolent Ye Yuan! Why haven''t you paid respects seeing Lord Sect Master and the various Hall Heads?" said a person sitting before Luo Qingfeng.


    "Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulder and said, "I wanted to pay respects too, but I''ve just entered the sect and don''t know a single person. How do I pay respects? This Lord, do me a favor, how about giving me an introduction?"


    That person was stunned when he heard this, but could not do anything to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan entered closed-seclusion right after arriving. He most likely did not even recognize the roads, let alone the sect master and these hall heads.


    "Humph! Indeed sharp-tongued! As a sect disciple, to not even recognize the sect master and various hall heads is already committing a blasphemous offense!" The person who spoke was none other than Ye Yuan''s old acquaintance, Yao Qian.


    Ye Yuan snickered and said, "Mobilizing so many people today, could it be to cross-examine my blasphemous crime? Also, even not recognizing people is a crime, Elder Yao, your ability to list crimes is much stronger than your alchemy and martial art abilities!"


    Yao Qian was just about to explode when another person stepped in, saying, "Alright. Ye Yuan, everyone here is your senior, don''t be unbridled. Why haven''t you paid respects to Lord Sect Master yet?"


    Beneath Luo Qingfeng were three people sitting side by side. Ye Yuan actually guessed long ago that these were the three great hall heads.


    The person who spoke just now appeared strict, but his intent to shield was already very clear.


    Furthermore, the other party addressed himself as senior when talking. If his conjectures were right, that should be the incumbent Martial Hall''s Hall Head, Xiao Jian.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not fail to see what was good for him. He gave a bow towards Luo Qingfeng. "I''ve seen Lord Sect Master!"


    "I heard that you went into retreat for five days and broke through two realms consecutively?" Luo Qingfeng asked a question instead.


    Ye Yuan was brought here by Xin Lie right after exiting seclusion, yet, he actually knew already even though Xin Lie did not report this matter to Luo Qingfeng. It could be seen just how great his control over the sect was!


    This sort of matter obviously could not be hidden. Ye Yuan answered honestly, "Yes."


    Luo Qingfeng nodded and said calmly, "Not bad."


    Just two words, no joy nor sorrow. Everyone did not know what it meant either.


    However, quite a few people''s faces changed, plainly stunned by this unexpected news.


    Even Xiao Jian had a trace of delight flash past his face.


    Unquestionably, just based on this aspect, Ye Yuan would gain points and not lose any. It would be greatly advantageous to the results of the hearing later!


    "What kind of joke is this? Consecutively breaking through two realms within five days? How''s this possible?"


    "Since Sect Master already said so, can this matter be fake? This Ye Yuan was actually such a monstrous existence?"


    "But, what to do if he really stole the sect''s pill formulas?"


    "This . . . Such a genius, isn''t killing him too regrettable?"


    Many elders started to debate on the spot. Towards the end of the discussion, they were clearly still very conflicted.


    Xiao Jian coughed drily, interrupting the crowd''s discussion. He continued the introduction. "This is the Disciplinary Hall''s Hall Head Ling. This is the Pill Hall''s Hall Head Ouyang. I''m surnamed Xiao, Martial Hall''s Hall Head."


    "Ye Yuan has seen the hall heads." Ye Yuan gave another bow.


    "Enough nonsense! Let the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing begin! Ye Yuan, let me ask you, where did you get this True Rising Spirit Pill from?" Ouyang Yu asked directly.


    At his level, he was obviously not very concerned with the struggle for the State of Qin''s imperial authority. He was more concerned about where Ye Yuan got his medicinal pill from.


    The pill formulas were the foundation of the sect''s survival. If the pill formulas were to leak out, the impact it would have on the sect would be utterly enormous.


    This matter, it was not overboard no matter how seriously they took it. Otherwise, they would not have set up such a powerful front.


    The medicinal pill in Ouyang Yu''s hands was that pill which Ye Yuan threw to Yang Hao back then. That fellow directly took it back to the sect.


    Ye Yuan replied nonchalantly, "Of course it was refined by me."


    "What a joke! This True Rising Spirit Pill is my Tranquil Cloud Sect Pill Hall''s agglomerated fruit of labor. How would you know how to refine it? Speak! Did you, or your father, or the State of Qin''s Imperial Family collude with members of our sect to steal it?!"


    Ouyang Yu looked down from high above, his aura imposing with overwhelming might.


    If an ordinary disciple were standing here, their legs would have turned into jelly long ago.


    But Ye Yuan was immune to this tactic.


    "Whether I know how to refine or not, just test and you''ll know. Is there a need to make things so complicated?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Humph! The difficulty of refining the True Rising Spirit Pill is extremely high. Even a middle-rank Alchemy Master would find it hard to refine. You, a low-rank Alchemy Master, can refine it?"


    The one who spoke was Ouyang Ming, also Su Yuting''s husband.


    If one were to talk about who wanted to mess Ye Yuan to death the most, it had to be him and Yao Qian.


    And this Tri-Hall Joint Hearing also originated because of the two of them.


    Ye Yuan lifted the two-star badge on his chest and said smilingly, "Are you talking about this? Hur hur, been too busy recently. Just didn''t have the time to take the exam."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan released his soul force outside. A wave of commotion sounded out inside the great hall!


    "This . . . This is the soul force of a high-rank Alchemy Master! This brat is only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and already has the soul force of a high-rank Alchemy Master!"


    "Just where did this boy pop out from? His talent truly too astonishing!"


    "Yeah! Cultivation speed is so fast, and his natural divine soul is powerful. This is simply a natural-born alchemist! Why did he run into the Martial Hall?"


    "No way! This elderly self must take him in as my apprentice and pass all of my Alchemy Dao skills to him! A genius like this, not becoming an alchemist is too wasted!"


    The ones with the most discussions were undoubtedly on the Pill Hall''s side.


    A powerful divine soul was the prerequisite condition to become an alchemist. Ye Yuan just broke through to middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm and actually already possessed high-rank Alchemy Master soul force. Such conditions, going to cultivate in the Martial Path was too wasted!


    They were unaware that Ye Yuan did not even release all of his soul force! What he released earlier was merely the soul force of a newly broken through high-rank Alchemy Master. There was still quite a relatively huge gap from his full soul force.


    Even so, his conditions already moved many Pill Hall elders.


    The conditions to become an alchemist was extremely harsh. A good disciple could be encountered but not hoped for.


    Ye Yuan only displayed the corner of an iceberg and already moved quite a few Pill Hall elders.


    Even Ouyang Yu''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became unrestrainedly scorching.


    In comparison, a trace of worry flickered past Xiao Jian''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan was his master''s successor. How could he enter the Pill Hall?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s martial talent was absolutely much more formidable than his alchemy talent!


    Of course, this was only his wishful thinking.

 Chapter 226: I Have a Master

    Chapter 226: I Have a Master


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ouyang Ming saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly said, "Ye Yuan, don''t you change the topic! Even if you can refine the True Rising Spirit Pill, the truth about stealing the pill formulas is still beyond all doubt! Sect Master, the three hall heads, and elders, towards a disciple with such misconduct, no matter how much of a genius he is, we mustn''t be indulgent!"


    "Elder Ouyang''s words are reasonable!" said the Disciplinary Hall''s Hall Head Ling Potian suddenly who previously did not speak the whole time.


    Ling Potian''s voice dragged the imminently out of control situation back.


    As the saying went, like father, like son. In actuality, like teacher, like student, also worked.


    Xin Lie''s coldness that pushed people a thousand miles away was inherited from this imposing master of his.


    The main topic today was interrogating Ye Yuan. Ling Potian''s authority to speak was naturally very high.


    Regardless of whether or not he had the intent to target Ye Yuan, one sentence from him indeed made Ye Yuan''s elaborately constructed atmosphere scatter.


    As the litigant, Ye Yuan only shot Ling Potian a calm glance and not was surprised by this.


    "Ye Yuan, where did you get the True Rising Spirit Pill from? Confess honestly now, and we can still show leniency when meting out punishment. Otherwise . . ." Ouyang Ming opened his mouth again.


    In order to improve the pill formula, the Pill Hall expended enormous amounts of human resources and material resources. If the pill formula which was just developed not long ago was stolen, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Ye Yuan had a helpless face. These dregs guarded some garbage like it was treasure and even blamed others for stealing their pill formulas. Truly hopeless.


    "If I say that I knew from the start, you all definitely won''t believe it, right?" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Although it was the truth, those who heard it might not believe it.


    Indeed, Yao Qian sneered coldly and said, "Your meaning is that you''re a prophet? You were born with the knowledge? What a joke!"


    "Ye Yuan, if you keep on being glib and talk aimlessly, there''s no point in continuing this hearing! We''re giving you the opportunity. That''s why we''re letting you stand here to speak!" Ouyang Ming said coldly.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, " Haha, I saw that the atmosphere was so tense and just wanted to ease it a little. Um, actually, I have a master. A very incredible master. The kind that is more formidable than you all. Those pill formulas were all taught by him. My alchemy skills were also taught by him."


    "Hahaha! Nonsense! More formidable than us? Do you know what realm we''re at? You didn''t even sketch a draft when telling lies!" Ouyang Ming said with a cold snicker.


    Ye Yuan had a disdainful face as he said, "A Second Level Sea Transformation Realm alchemist with a power level of five. What are you being cocky in front of me for? Wait until I breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm. I can one-shot kill you instantly!"


    Seeing that Ouyang Ming wanted to refute, Ye Yuan added on, "Don''t doubt it. You ask that Elder Yao by your side, and you''ll know whether I have the capability or not. In a certain sense, he was even defeated by me."


    These few sentences from Ye Yuan caused the entire great hall to burst into commotion once again.


    "What? Elder Yao was defeated by the Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan? Is this boy talking in his sleep?"


    "Hur hur, how is that possible. This brat is blowing his own trumpet! Even though an alchemist''s combat abilities aren''t strong, Elder Yao is at any rate a Sea Transformation Realm expert. How is it possible to lose to Ye Yuan?"


    "Not necessarily! Didn''t you hear Ye Yuan say earlier that it was only ''in a certain sense''? It''s just we don''t know what this ''certain sense'' refers to."


    In the great hall, even if Yao Qian''s skin was thick, he was also scarlet red right now.


    Truthfully speaking, if Ye Yuan broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, he really did not dare to guarantee that he could beat Ye Yuan.


    That last sword from Ye Yuan left too deep an impression on Yao Qian.


    A Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist could actually communicate with heaven and earth essence energy to unleash such a peerlessly powerful sword. It was truly inconceivable!


    After Yao Qian returned to the sect, he obviously would not speak about this sort of disgraceful matter. Now that he was exposed by Ye Yuan in his face, he hated that there was no hole for him to crawl into.


    "Elder Yao, what in the world happened?"


    "Elder Yao, this Ye Yuan must be talking bullshit, right?"


    . . . . . .


    Many people came up to whisper to Yao Qian. Yao Qian was just about to deny it when Xiao Jian said calmly, "You all don''t need to doubt it. Ye Yuan did not lie. He has this capability! Ye Yuan, he . . . can already communicate with heaven and earth essence energy for his own use! After he breaks through to the Crystal Formation Realm, his strength will surely have a qualitative leap!"


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    Although Xiao Jian did not mention Yao Qian, his words already affirmed Ye Yuan''s words from another point.


    In front of Ye Yuan, these Sea Transformation Realm alchemists were indeed only power level of five dregs . . .


    And the majority of the alchemists here were so . . .


    A Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist could communicate with heaven and earth essence energy? Everyone was stunned once again . . .


    With Xiao Jian''s status, he obviously would not speak carelessly about this sort of matter.


    Soul force was incomparably powerful and martial talent was peerless. This was simply a genius that even the heaven would be jealous of!


    Would such a character really do something like stealing pill formulas?


    The group of elders started to doubt it.


    This group of people were actually all filled with righteous indignation before coming and were bent on putting Ye Yuan to death. But now, they had no choice but to consider reviewing Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, I wonder what kind of mysterious person your master is? If you have such a powerful master, why enter my Tranquil Cloud Sect then?" the sect master Luo Qingfeng who was silent the entire time suddenly asked.


    Ye Yuan gave a puzzled expression and said blankly, "Uh . . . Replying sect master, I really don''t what kind of person Master is. I don''t even know his name. Master said to use the knowledge he taught to temper myself in the secular world and compete with other geniuses. Only by emerging from a myriad of living beings can I officially become his disciple!"


    "What a joke! Who wouldn''t even know his own master''s name? The way I see it, this is simply nonsense that you fabricated! Sect Master, I think we don''t need to interrogate anymore. Ye Yuan is simply full of crap. Just give him the death penalty straight away!" Ouyang Ming denounced.


    "Elder Ouyang, in my opinion, it''s more suitable for you to be the sect master. How about you come and take my seat?" Luo Qingfeng''s light words made the entire great hall''s temperature plummet.


    Anyone could hear the displeasure Sect Master Luo had towards Elder Ouyang!


    Ouyang Ming frequently relied on the Ouyang Family''s influence in the sect to disregard the other elders. Now, he actually directly interrupted Sect Master Luo''s questioning. His gall was too big.


    If Sect Master Luo could even tolerate this, then he might as well not be the sect master.


    Ouyang Ming''s face turned the color of pig''s liver and was incredibly embarrassed.


    "Ouyang Ming, you shut your mouth! When was it your turn to talk while the sect master is questioning? How the final ruling will be is the sect master''s decision. How can he tolerate you meddling in it! Why haven''t you quickly apologized to Sect Master yet?" Ouyang Yu obviously could not sit still anymore and reprimanded him.


    Ouyang Ming dare not defy Ouyang Yu. He could only rise and give a bow towards Luo Qingfeng, saying, "Ouyang Ming was impatient and did not choose my words. I pray Sect Master do not blame."


    Luo Qingfeng waved his hands and did not bother with him anymore. He said to Ye Yuan again, "Your honorable master is an amazing character! It''s just I wonder where is he at the present moment?"

 Chapter 227: Challenging the Pill Hall Single-Handedly!

    Chapter 227: Challenging the Pill Hall Single-Handedly!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Master, well he went to roam the world already." Ye Yuan still gave the same old excuse.


    Although Ouyang Ming was reprimanded by Luo Qingfeng, what he said was not wrong.


    Who takes someone as their master and not know their master''s name?


    And now, Ye Yuan also said that his master was not around. There was no testimony with the witness gone.


    In their hearts, there were already many people who felt that Ye Yuan was indeed talking nonsense.


    Luo Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "According to my knowledge, you were still completely nameless a few months back. But within a few months, you emerged all of a sudden. Could it be that your master only taught you for these few months and left to travel the world so coincidentally right after you arrived at the Tranquil Cloud Sect?"


    Luo Qingfeng was clearly very clear about Ye Yuan''s growing up experiences.


    Ye Yuan had prepared an excuse long ago. He recounted the lie he contrived to Ye Hang to Luo Qingfeng again.


    He actually had motives why he did this.


    Even though this imaginary teacher of his that he fabricated was somewhat absurd, as long as the sect believed he existed, that would be Ye Yuan''s greatest protective charm!


    The Ouyang Family wanting to deal with Ye Yuan would have to weigh whether they have the abilities first or not.


    An existence who could impart skills in a dream and directly imprint knowledge onto the divine soul was not someone that the puny Tranquil Cloud Sect could afford to provoke.


    Of course, how to make others believe it was also a problem.


    As expected, when Ye Yuan finished talking, Luo Qingfeng raised his suspicions. "It seems like what you''ve said up till now are all some things which can''t be proven. Could it be that you want to use these sort of excuses to prove your innocence?"


    Hearing Luo Qingfeng''s questioning, a trace of cold sneer flashed across the corner of Ouyang Ming''s mouth.


    He was very doting on Su Yuting. That was why he shielded the Su Family in any way he could and even aided them to usurp the throne.


    However, what arrived was the outcome of the Su Family three brothers'' death!


    When Su Yuting heard this grievous news, she fainted on the spot. It could be seen just how great the impact this incident had on her.


    Ouyang Ming''s heart ached for his beloved wife, so he was naturally unwilling to let Ye Yuan go. That was why he thought of borrowing the help of the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing to authorize Ye Yuan''s death penalty.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was a peerless genius who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. The sect would definitely nurture this kind of geniuses heavily. The only opportunity to put him to death was the True Rising Spirit Pill that Ye Yuan took out.


    Presently, seeing that Ye Yuan was at the end of his ropes, Ouyang Ming could not help feeling greatly satisfied.


    It was very evident that Ye Yuan could not summon that so-called master of his. As long as he could not call him here, he would be unable to convince everyone. The result could only be death!


    Ye Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly, "Master went to roam the world. Either way, he can''t be called here. I can''t do anything about it if you all don''t believe me."


    Luo Qingfeng did not indicate anything but asked, "What''s the opinion of the three hall heads?"


    Ouyang Yu sucked in a deep breath and said, "Ye Yuan stole the sect pill formulas, and the evidence is conclusive. I recommend sentencing to death!"


    Although he also felt that Ye Yuan was a fine seedling, the suspicion of stealing the pill formulas was naturally greater.


    Furthermore, Ouyang Ming was Ouyang Yu''s nephew. He knew that Ouyang Ming was deeply in love with Su Yuting, so he obviously had to stand on this side.


    Or else, the Ouyang Family would dissolve by themselves!


    Ling Potian said, "Utter nonsense! I suggest put him to death!"


    Xiao Jian frowned and said, "No way! Not only is Ye Yuan''s soul force powerful, but his martial talent is also even hard to encounter in a thousand years! If such an individual was killed, wouldn''t it aggrieve our own people and gladden the enemy?"


    "Xiao Jian! I acknowledge Ye Yuan''s talent. But his background is ambiguous, and he has ulterior motives. Keeping such a person, after his strength becomes formidable in the future, wouldn''t it be even more dangerous?" Ouyang Yu reproved.


    "Humph! Ye Yuan is in possession of the Canghua Sword. This means that he obtained Ancestor Lu Yan''s inheritance! Master''s discerning eyes are akin to pearls. He definitely won''t misjudge people! You people are only relying on a single medicinal pill to decide on Ye Yuan''s crime. What proof is there?" Xiao Jian insisted on his viewpoint.


    "Ye Yuan and his father are only people of the secular world but took out the True Rising Spirit Pill that our Pill Hall had just developed! Doesn''t this count as proof? Furthermore, he did not just take out the True Rising Spirit Pill. There are another two types of medicinal pills! Could it be that the pill formulas that his master taught him just coincidentally happen to be these three types?"


    "This . . ." Xiao Jian could not think of a better explanation either.


    It was crystal clear that the present situation was very adverse to Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan were unable to prove that these pill formulas were imparted by his master, he would surely be put to death!


    "Since there are two of the three Hall Heads who agreed to sentence Ye Yuan to death, then . . ."


    Ouyang Ming heard Luo Qingfeng''s words and involuntarily felt wild elation in his heart.


    "Hold on!" Luo Qingfeng''s words were interrupted halfway by Ye Yuan.


    "What else do you have to say?"


    "May I be allowed to look at the pill formula?" Ye Yuan said.


    "Ye Yuan! Stop using this sort of method to delay the time! It''s futile! Hasn''t the pill formulas been stolen by you already? Don''t tell me that you still don''t know the True Rising Spirit Pill''s pill formula?" Ouyang Yu said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hehe, if I can point out the deficiencies in the pill formula that you developed, doesn''t that prove that my pill formula wasn''t stolen?"


    "Ye Yuan, are you doubting our Pill Hall''s standards? Are you trying to challenge my entire Pill Hall single-handedly?" Ouyang Yu''s voice turned completely to ice.


    A puny little Alchemy Master actually dared to boast so shamelessly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If Hall Head Ouyang feels this way, then I might as well give it a shot. Uh, I can prove to all of you that my master is more formidable than all the people in your Pill Hall!"


    "Wildly arrogant!"


    "Ignorant child!"


    "Preposterous!"


    When these words from Ye Yuan went out, the great hall was immediately filled with flooded with all kinds of reproaching voices.


    To challenge the Pill Hall single-handedly, it was truly rampant without limits in these peoples'' opinions!


    The Pill Hall elders present were all Quasi-Alchemy King level!


    A brat who might not even be a high-rank Alchemy Master actually dared to challenge the entire Pill Hall. It was seriously the biggest joke in the world!


    Alchemy was an extremely profound study. It was not that when one''s soul force reached high-rank Alchemy Master, they would definitely become a high-rank Alchemy Master.


    "Haha! How absurd! Why do I have to accept your challenge? If this sort of matter spreads out, wouldn''t it make the whole world laugh at my Tranquil Cloud Sect? An Alchemy Master challenging Quasi-Alchemy Kings. To think that you can come up with this!" Ouyang Yu wondered if Ye Yuan''s brain was missing a screw.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! I think that you''ve stayed too long in the Southern Domain and think that you''re invincible under the heavens already! There''s a heaven beyond heaven and man beyond man. You all have most likely already forgotten about this logic. The things that you spent a huge price to develop is actually already outdated stuff! Even so, you''re still patting yourselves on the backs and kept these pill formulas like they were treasures. Others take out the same medicinal pill, and you think that they copied you! Truly hilarious to the max!"


    "Let me ask all of you." Ye Yuan swept his gaze across those Quasi-Alchemy Kings in the great hall and said coldly, "Which one of you knows what the Northern Domain is like now?"


    A falling pin could have been heard in the great hall.


    Ye Yuan''s words left them dumbfounded.


    After a long while, Luo Qingfeng suddenly said, "Hall Head Ouyang, show him the pill formula."

 Chapter 228: Attending a Lesson on Alchemy!

    Chapter 228: Attending a Lesson on Alchemy!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ouyang Yu''s expression flickered between joy and distress but did not hand over the pill formula immediately.


    He did not feel that Ye Yuan could really dig out the flaws of the pill formula. Could a 15 years old Alchemy Master be amazing to such an extent?


    It was just that for the pill formulas that their Pill Hall collectively researched and developed to be criticized from top to bottom by a little punk, it was seriously shameful.


    As the Pill Hall''s Hall Head, Ouyang Ming could not afford to lose this face.


    He also did not know what kind of hex Luo Qingfeng fell under, to actually agree to such ludicrous request from Ye Yuan.


    He was naturally unable to comprehend Luo Qingfeng''s thoughts. His understanding of Ye Yuan was far from as thorough as Luo Qingfeng''s.


    To be able to execute a move by communicating with heaven and earth essence energy in the Spirit Condensation Realm, no matter how heavily they nurtured him, it would not be excessive!


    The situation reported by the Martial Hall greatly alarmed Luo Qingfeng. Then, he went on to understand Ye Yuan''s growing up process.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan''s transformation could be called a classic counteroffensive. If one were to say that there was no expert behind Ye Yuan, he would not believe it even if you beat him to death!


    However, this expert had never shown his face before.


    During this period of time, Luo Qingfeng investigated Ye Yuan from different angles but did not discover any traces of that expert.


    What did this represent? It meant that this expert had already surpassed his understanding as the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master!


    The unknown was the most terrifying, even if he was a master of a sect!


    For such a mighty figure to be entrenched in the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, how could Luo Qingfeng as the sect master rest assured?


    Ye Yuan''s reply today had already affirmed his conjectures from another point of view. But then, Ye Yuan said that his master went to roam the world. Although there was no proof in any way, Luo Qingfeng was still very careful about how to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Presently, Ye Yuan said that he could challenge the entire Pill Hall single-handedly. It sounded preposterous, but if it were true, wouldn''t that prove that Ye Yuan''s master really existed?


    The other party placed his disciple in your sect to temper him, but you killed his disciple. When that mysterious person returned someday, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might not be his match even if they mustered up the full might of the sect!


    As the master of the sect, how could Luo Qingfeng dare to gamble with the entire sect?


    "Hall Head Ouyang?" Luo Qingfeng urged again when he saw that Ouyang Yu did not move.


    "Yes, Sect Master!"


    Ouyang Yu hit out a jade slip with a frown. Ye Yuan reached out to take it. Sweeping with his divine sense, he became immersed in his thoughts.


    "How is it, Great Master Ye? Have you seen anything that is inappropriate? Please, give a pointer or two."


    Ouyang Yu''s words were sarcastic. Anyone could tell that he was really furious. His anger obviously could not be vented out on the sect master, so he had to get back face from Ye Yuan.


    "Yeah, Great Master Ye''s master is probably an Alchemy Sovereign, right? For an Alchemy Sovereign''s accomplished disciple to give us pointers is a piece of cake."


    "I think that our Pill Hall might as well just invite Great Master Ye to be a guest elder. Oh, Great Master Ye likely would not even want this elder position!"


    Alchemists were all prideful. Ye Yuan''s arrogance had already thoroughly infuriated them. Hence, they were all saying things sardonically.


    They did not believe that an Alchemy Master brat could give them pointers about anything.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s master was really an Alchemy Sovereign, the disciple that he taught could not possibly be at a higher level than all of them combined, right?


    They obviously could not imagine just what level Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao realm had reached.


    Forget about adding them all up, even if all of their ancestors were added up, it would be hard to reach even 10% or 20% of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with these people''s sarcasm. After sweeping finish the True Rising Spirit Pill formula, he involuntarily let out a sigh.


    "Don''t just sigh, Great Master Ye. Why don''t you talk about whether this True Rising Spirit Pill formula has any flaws or not?" Ouyang Ming asked sarcastically.


    "Hur hur, since you people call me Great Master, then I''ll give you a lesson on alchemy today. Uh, just entered the sect and didn''t bring any gifts either. I''ll just give this lesson to everyone free of charge," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Conceited and ignorant! Called you a great master and you really think you''re one! Giving us a lesson with the likes of you?"


    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued talking. "From this pill formula, I can see that everybody''s standards are still around there. But, your foundations are not solid enough."


    When Ye Yuan''s voice fell, there were clamoring immediately.


    "Foundation? A teenage baby is talking about foundation with us? Hahaha, what a joke!"


    "Child, have you memorize your Herbal Essentials? Using it to talk about foundation with us?"


    "Now, I feel that Ye Yuan must be the person who stole the pill formulas. Or else, he would not talk drivel here. The few of us old fellows, even when placed in the entire Southern Domain, nobody would dare to say that our foundations are not solid, right?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "Everybody, don''t get agitated. I know that you all are Quasi-Alchemy Kings. There are even some who are high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings and would be famed and respected figures when placed in the entire Southern Domain. But compared to my master, you''re indeed far off. Your foundations are also too weak. First, let''s talk about this True Rising Spirit Pill''s main ingredients. Let''s make a comparison."


    Speaking until here, Ye Yuan looked at Ouyang Yu and asked, "Hall Head Ouyang, there are three kinds of main ingredients on your True Rising Spirit Pill formula, namely, Profound Armored Beast''s inner core, Violet Night Weed, and Cloud Net Fruit, correct?"


    Ouyang Yu''s face darkened but did not answer Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not mind either. He continued with a smile, "I''ll talk about the three kinds of main ingredients in my pill formula. They are respectively, Profound Armored Beast''s inner core, Violet Night Weed, and Verdant Nether Orchid."


    "Haha! He said use Verdant Nether Orchid! It''s common knowledge that Verdant Nether Orchid and Violet Night Weed can''t be used together! You don''t even know this point and even talk big to us about foundation! Exposed your foundation with one sentence! Sect Master, this punk is simply just trying to pass himself off as one of the players in an ensemble, and specially comes to beguile us!" Ouyang Ming said with a loud hoot.


    Ouyang Ming learned to be smart this time and did not say things like directly sentence him to death.


    Luo Qingfeng could not help looking at Ouyang Yu when he heard that. Ouyang Yu nodded slightly which naturally affirmed that what Ouyang Ming said was not false.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and lightly spat out a word from his mouth, "Idiot!"


    "What did you say?!" Ouyang Ming was furious.


    "Already grown up, but could it be that you haven''t heard of a phrase called ''history (books) should be read with reservation''? You say that these two types of herbs cannot be used together. It should have been stated on that whatever lousy Herbal Compendium, right? Well, it should be stated on it that after combining the two kinds of ingredients, Violet Night Weed and Verdant Nether Orchid, it would produce a poison which is greatly harmful to martial artists, yes?"


    The crowd collectively turned to stone.


    The Herbal Compendium that was revered as a priceless treasure in the Endless World became a lousy book in Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    However, what Ye Yuan said was indeed correct. It was written like so in the book.


    "Humph! Isn''t it so?"


    Ouyang Ming said with a livid face.


    "So my ass!" Ye Yuan directly cussed back and said, "The book written by an Alchemy Sovereign indeed has great referencing value, but you all have to know that Alchemy Sovereigns have only just entered the gates in terms of the way of alchemy! The things they comprehended must be correct? Knowledge acquired from books will ultimately be shallow! If you people don''t experiment, don''t test it out, you''ll only be brought astray by others! Worshipping the Herbal Compendium like it''s a holy scripture, you all will never surpass the author of the book!

 Chapter 229: Betting to Acknowledge as Master

    Chapter 229: Betting to Acknowledge as Master


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan''s words drew blood with a single poke. Those who kept their cool involuntarily fell silent.


    The Herbal Compendium had been revered as a holy scripture by the Endless World''s alchemists. It basically represented the highest level in the Endless World!


    Yet, even those amazing alchemists than them were unable to walk to the end of the profundities of Alchemy Dao.


    Although the Herbal Compendium''s accomplishments were extremely high, to say that everything written on it was correct, that was evidently impossible.


    But the problem was that the Herbal Compendium was already enough for them to study their entire lives. How much time did these Quasi-Alchemy Kings have to verify it one by one?


    Looking at it this way, Ye Yuan''s words indeed set people thinking.


    But there were clearly not many alchemists who were able to think calmly at this time. In their eyes, Ye Yuan was already arrogant to a certain level.


    Alchemy Sovereigns had just entered the gates? Then what did they, these Quasi-Alchemy Kings, count as?


    Not even having entered the gates?


    "Then following your logic, the Violet Night Weed and Verdant Nether Orchid can be used together? I want to hear just how you remove the toxin produced between them!" Ouyang Yu said with a cold sneer.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When refining medicinal pills that assist the breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm, the most important thing is to help martial artists refine essence energy and protect their Dantian. Your pill formula''s train of thought is correct. But the effects of the Verdant Nether Orchid are clearly stronger than the Cloud Net Fruit. Why do you want to grasp the shadow instead of the essence? Just because the book says that the Verdant Nether Orchid and Violet Night Weed cannot be mixed?"


    Ye Yuan swept his gaze around and said loudly, "When refining medicinal pills, the main ingredients are naturally very important. But the supplementary ingredients are equally important! Since the Verdant Nether Orchid and Violet Night Weed will produce a toxin after mixing together, can''t you just add a type of ingredient into the supplementary ingredients to not let them produce poison?"


    Yao Qian sneered coldly and said, "Talk is cheap! If it were ordinary poison, it would obviously be easy to resolve. But the toxin that they produce after mixing together is the Tendon Gnawing Blood. Although its tier isn''t high, it''s extremely rare. Even Alchemy Sovereigns are rendered helpless! If it were so simple, why would Lord Li Su not write it in the book?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed, saying, "After all is said, it''s all about the book. You don''t have any of your own opinions at all. I really don''t know how you people cultivated to the Quasi-Alchemy King realm."


    "You! Why don''t you say what supplementary material can get rid of this Tendon Gnawing Blood poison?! A poison that even Alchemy Sovereigns are at a loss on what to do, you, a puny little Alchemy Master, can resolve it?" Yao Qian said with a frosty smile.


    "Hur hur, why not we make a bet?" Ye Yuan derided.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s confident look, Yao Qian''s heart involuntarily jolted. But he thought about it, no matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible to be more amazing than an Alchemy Sovereign, right?


    "How do you want to bet?"


    "If I can resolve this poison, you kowtow to me three times and acknowledge me as your master. If I can''t resolve it, I''ll give you this small life of mine. Well, I don''t think you want me to acknowledge you as my master anyway," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Seeing the smile on Ye Yuan''s face, Ouyang Ming felt that something was not quite right. He pulled the corner of Yao Qian''s clothes, but Yao Qian ignored him.


    "Fine! Am I scared of you?" Yao Qian agreed straight away.


    "Hur hur, in front of the sect master and various hall heads, I think that Elder Yao wouldn''t renege on his words."


    "Enough bullshit. Why don''t you say what item can resolve this toxin, this old man is still waiting for your life!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Fine, I''ll make you utterly convinced! Elders, think about it; what common accompanying lifeform do the Violet Night Weed and the Verdant Nether Orchid have?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice fell, and the group of elders furrowed their brows.


    Understanding the habits and characteristics of herbs was the essential skill that every alchemist had to do.


    Those present here were all Quasi-Alchemy Kings. Their basic skills were naturally not lousy to the point where it was hopeless. It was just that their so-called research was far worse compared to Ye Yuan''s


    The Violet Night Weed and Verdant Nether Orchid were comparatively rare Tier 1 herbs. Their accompanying lifeforms were mostly some materials that did not enter the rankings. Could it be that these substandard materials could detoxify instead?


    What kind of joke was this!


    "To talk about the common accompanying lifeform for these two types of herbs, it should be none other than Clear Joy Grass. You''re not telling me that the Clear Joy Grass can resolve the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood, are you?"


    In the end, it was the Pill Hall''s Hall Head, Ouyang Yu who said the answer first.


    Except, he had never heard of the Clear Joy Grass being able to treat poison!


    The Clear Joy Grass was only an herb which did not make the rankings. It would occasionally be used as the supplementary material for low-grade Tier 1 medicinal pills. It was simply unable to appear on the stage.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent to it. He smiled and said, "Hall Head Ouyang is indeed incredible to say out the answer to quickly. That''s right, the thing that can treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood is precisely the Clear Joy Grass!"


    "Hahaha, this old man has never heard of the Clear Joy Grass having the effects to detoxify! Truly preposterous! Ye Yuan, you aren''t thinking that us, these Pill Hall elders, are ornamental, right? You even dare to crack this sort of juvenile joke with us!" Ouyang Yu burst into laughter and had the feeling of being duped.


    Ye Yuan said solemnly, "I''m not joking around! You guys haven''t tested it out. How do you know that the Clear Joy Grass cannot treat poison?"


    "Clear Joy Grass is merely a most common kind of herb, completely unable to get a tier. Its characteristics and usage have long been developed to its limits. Even being the supplementary ingredient for a Tier 1 medicinal pill is somewhat forceful. How can this sort of thing possibly treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood?" Ouyang Ming countered.


    "Presumptuous and opinionated. You say that it''s developed to the limits. That''s just what you think. In reality, any pairing with two kinds of ingredients is possible to produce effects that you can''t imagine. And how many types have you tested out? Even for Tier 1 ingredients, how many do you truly understand?" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    Ouyang Yu was just about to refute but saw Luo Qingfeng wave his hand and said, "There''s no need to argue. Yes or no, do a test and we will know."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Haha, Sect Master is logical. Today, I''ll take it as you guys got off cheaply. I''ll just go along and refine this True Rising Spirit Pill to let you see what the real True Rising Spirit Pill looks like!"


    "Humph! Shameless boasting!" Ouyang Ming snorted frostily.


    . . . . . .


    At a refining room, Pill Hall.


    All of them went to the room.


    Ye Yuan handed the True Rising Spirit Pill formula to Luo Qingfeng. Luo Qingfeng ordered someone to prepare the ingredients.


    Ye Yuan''s pill formula was naturally higher level than the one developed by the Pill Hall. But this pill formula was of no importance to Ye Yuan. He was indifferent about giving it to them.


    "Tsk tsk, indeed a sect. Much higher level than the Dan Wu Academy''s refining room!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration after entering the refining room.


    "Rubbish! The Dan Wu Academy is only our sect''s outer dojo. How can it compare to the Pill Hall? The ingredients are prepped, why haven''t you hurry up and refine the pill?" Yao Qian said.


    "Sigh, I was just expressing my emotions. Elder Yao doesn''t need to target everything at me, right? Elder Yao, you''re anxious to acknowledge a master, but honestly speaking, I don''t really want to accept you as a disciple," Ye Yuan said with a snicker.


    "I hope you can still laugh in a while!"


    Ye Yuan did not squabble. He went to the operation station directly and started to refine the medicinal embryo.


    "En? Why is he using hands to grab? Doesn''t he need to weigh it out?"


    "Why do I feel more and more that this Ye Yuan untrustworthy? This brat isn''t thinking of bringing everyone to play along with him because he knows he''s dead for sure, right?"


    "I feel the same way! The Clear Joy Grass being able to treat the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood. It sounds ludicrous no matter how I listen to it."


    Once Ye Yuan''s hand grabbing refining method came out, it immediately aroused a wave of confusion.

 Chapter 230: Compensation

    Chapter 230: Compensation


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ouyang Yu looked at Ye Yuan''s hand grabbing refining method and could not help frowning.


    He already saw the pill formula that Ye Yuan gave him. Other than the Cloud Net Fruit switching to Verdant Nether Orchid and adding in Clear Joy Grass, the other ingredients were basically the same.


    But the refining method in Ye Yuan''s pill formula was very different from the one they researched out.


    Flame intensity, medicinal embryo, extraction, and such, there were many subtle differences.


    As the Pill Hall''s Hall Head, Ouyang Yu''s alchemy skill level was naturally beyond doubt. He could instinctively feel that if refined according to Ye Yuan''s pill formula, the quality of the Medicinal pill would surely go up a level!


    That was also to say that Ye Yuan''s True Rising Spirit Pill formula was much more mature than the one they developed!


    Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan could prove that Clear Joy Grass could indeed neutralize the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood.


    Ouyang Yu''s basic skills were very solid. When refining pills himself, the weight of the herbs he casually grabbed was not far off.


    However, that was only not far off. He still needed to go through equipment to let the quantity of the herbs be more accurate.


    The higher the tier of the Medicinal pill, the more precise the herb quantity needed to be. He did not dare to use some hand grabbing refining method.


    But that did not stop him from watching Ye Yuan use this hand grabbing refining method.


    From the herb quantity that Ye Yuan grabbed each time, it should be roughly the same as the quantity noted on the pill formula.


    But could he guarantee it was that precise?


    Even for Tier 1 Medicinal pills, the more precise, the higher the success rate and quality. Ye Yuan doing it like this should be him not taking this refinement to heart, right?


    There was no way he could reach the degree of accuracy on the pill formula with just a casual grab. This was too heaven-defying!


    Anyway, he just had to prove that Clear Joy Grass could neutralize the toxin of the Tendon Gnawing Blood, and Ye Yuan could be considered to have won.


    Because Ouyang Yu knew that if it could really resolve the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin, Ye Yuan''s pill formula was indeed stronger than the True Rising Spirit Pill that they developed!


    The allegations of stealing would naturally be impossible to determine!


    Even so, the sturdiness of Ye Yuan''s basic skills already surpassed the vast majority of Alchemy Grandmasters! There were even many Pill Hall elders who were inferior to Ye Yuan.


    However, Ouyang Yu did not say it. He just quietly watched Ye Yuan extract and refine the medicinal embryo.


    The refinement process was faster than they thought. The refinement of Tier 1 herbs was less than worthless to Ye Yuan. It naturally would not take up too much time.


    "The medicinal embryo is extracted and refined. Hall Head Ouyang, come and inspect if there''s toxin or not." Ye Yuan passed the vessel over to Ouyang Yu.


    Ouyang Yu took the vessel to take a look, but his expression changed.


    The medicinal embryo that Ye Yuan refined was crystal clear like it was a dark green crystal ball.


    Ouyang Yu had never seen anyone who could extract and refine medicinal embryo so exquisitely. It was simply a work of art!


    Ouyang Yu had refined countless pills but secretly judged that he was unable to do it to such a level.


    Could it be that there really was a powerful alchemist master behind this Ye Yuan?


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s age, how could he possibly cultivate such impeccable alchemy skills?


    "Hall Head Ouyang, don''t be in a daze. Quickly use a profound silver needle to inspect whether this medicinal embryo has toxins or not. I still need to refine the medicinal pill." Ye Yuan urged upon seeing the situation.


    Ouyang Yu awoke and glared fiercely at Ye Yuan. Then, he retrieved a profound silver needle and stabbed it into the medicinal embryo.


    Similar to mortals using a silver needle to check for poison, alchemists use profound silver needles to check for poison.


    The profound silver needle in Ouyang Yu''s hands was a high-rank magic artifact. It could detect all poison under Tier 4. That naturally included the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin.


    Ouyang Yu pulled out the profound silver needle and his brows knitted together slightly.


    "R-Really no toxin! Could it be that the Clear Joy Grass can really resolve the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin?"


    "No way? The Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin is renowned for being an incurable poison. The detoxifying method is actually so simple?"


    "Although this sort of poison isn''t very amazing, it can secretly affect a martial artist''s bodily functions without their knowledge, ultimately turning the martial artist into a cripple. This was a poison that nobody could resolve in the Endless World for the past few millenniums. It was actually resolved just like this?"


    Seeing the profound silver needle without a single trace, the group of elders could not help exclaiming in shock and sighing.


    While amid the crowd, Yao Qian''s face was currently ashen.


    The Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin was resolved, meaning he already lost the bet! Could it be that he, a dignified Quasi-Alchemy King, actually had to acknowledge an Alchemy Master as his master?


    This . . . was simply an unprecedented shame!


    If this matter were to spread out, how would he establish authority in the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Even if those disciples did not dare to say anything in front of him, they would probably gesticulate behind his back, right?


    "Now, this can prove my innocence, right?" Ye Yuan said lightly.


    Ouyang Yu''s, Ouyang Ming''s, and other''s expression changed and were unwilling to follow up.


    Luo Qingfeng and the others, however, did not understand. He could not help asking, "Hall Head Ouyang?"


    Ouyang Yu gritted his teeth and nodded, counting as acknowledging Ye Yuan''s words.


    This sort of matter could not be faked. He had no choice but to admit it.


    Luo Qingfeng also sighed in relief secretly when he heard that and said, "Since that''s the case, Ye Yuan''s crime of stealing the pill formula is unfounded. It''s just that this medicinal pill is the foundation for my Tranquil Cloud Sect. Ye Yuan, you''re not allowed to sell it in the secular world! To compensate for the misunderstanding this time, the sect will award you 10 thousand points. I hope that you won''t resent the sect because of this case."


    As the master of a sect, these words from Luo Qingfeng were already considered a subtle apology.


    If it were an ordinary disciple, the trial would just be over. How could the sect master possibly say this kind of words? But Ye Yuan was different! He was too monstrous!


    The talent that Ye Yuan displayed was overly monstrous! Since it was proven that Ye Yuan did not harbor ill intent, the sect naturally had to nurture with full force and rope him in!


    Such a genius figure was where the hope of the sect laid. He would naturally be viewed as precious treasure!


    Ye Yuan obviously had the sense to appreciate the favor. He gave a bow towards Luo Qingfeng and said, "Sect Master is also considering the safety of the sect. Why would Ye Yuan bear a grudge? However . . . dare I ask, Sect Master, whether the bet earlier . . . is counted or not?"


    Murmuring!


    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, everyone''s gaze looked towards Yao Qian.


    Yao Qian''s old face turned crimson red instantly as he felt pent up.


    "This . . ." Luo Qingfeng was also stumped by Ye Yuan.


    While Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao level somewhat surpassed expectations, to make a Quasi-Alchemy King acknowledge him as master, Luo Qingfeng felt that it was still somewhat nonsensical.


    This way, how would Yao Qian dare to meet anyone in the future?


    Ye Yuan had a surprised look as he said, "Elder Yao, you aren''t going to renege, are you? Well, I know that asking a Quasi-Alchemy King to acknowledge me as a master is somewhat hard on you, but from a certain point of view, my Alchemy Dao standards have already surpassed yours. Hence, you acknowledging me as master seems to be justifiable!"


    This was naturally Ye Yuan''s humble words. His Alchemy Dao level was far from just surpassing Yao Qian''s from a certain perspective. With Yao Qian''s standards, he was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan.


    However, looking at this old man who nearly killed him being forced to yield, Ye Yuan had unspeakable delight in his heart!


    Right then, Xiao Jian suddenly thought of something and whispered a few words by Luo Qingfeng''s ears.


    Luo Qingfeng''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Various hall heads, elders, this matter is concluded. What are we still waiting here for? Why haven''t you left quickly?"

 Chapter 231: Price

    Chapter 231: Price


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan just stared at Yao Qian with a smile.


    Yao Qian''s face was so shock stricken that it was about to drip water. He stood there motionless, unable to leave.


    The group of elders'' expression was weird as they left the refinement room. Of course, there was sympathy amidst the oddness.


    "Yii, Elder Ouyang hasn''t left yet. Can it be that you want to acknowledge me as your master together with Elder Yao?"


    Ouyang Ming actually wanted to leave too. But his relation with Yao Qian was intimate. Leaving just like this was not very good.


    Furthermore, this incident, Yao Qian was also implicated by him. If he left, it would be too disloyal.


    Ouyang Ming''s face repeatedly wavered, not knowing how to follow up.


    The bet was between Ye Yuan and Yao Qian. Sect Master Luo making everyone leave was already considering Yao Qian''s face. It was not suitable for others to intervene.


    "What are you still standing there for, Elder Ouyang? Leave!" Luo Qingfeng had not left but shouted at Ouyang Ming instead.


    Ouyang Ming looked at Yao Qian awkwardly. Yao Qian sucked in deeply and said, "You leave first. I know what to do."


    "This . . ." Ouyang Ming more or less felt relief from a tensed heart. But he obviously could not show it on the surface.


    Ouyang Ming only left while looking back every few steps after Yao Qian nodded his head, and went out with Luo Qingfeng.


    After everyone exited the refinement room, Yao Qian sneered and said, "Ye Yuan, aren''t you scared that your lifespan will be shortened by making a Quasi-Alchemy King acknowledge you as master?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Isn''t shortening my lifespan exactly what you hope for? I don''t even mind, so why should you?"


    Yao Qian could not help choking up; his eyes spewing fire.


    Ye Yuan pretended to be shocked. "Aiya, is Elder Yao trying to silence me by killing me? The sect master is right outside. This isn''t good."


    "Talk. What terms do you want?" Yao Qian forcefully pressed down the rage in his heart and said somberly.


    "Ah? What? What terms? I don''t understand Elder Yao''s meaning." Ye Yuan had a blank look.


    Yao Qian hated fiercely in his heart. This fellow was clearly pretending to be muddled, but yet, he had to play along with him.


    "Stop pretending! State your conditions! As long as it''s not to acknowledge you as master, any conditions will do!"


    "Don''t! With a Quasi-Alchemy King disciple, it would be so glorious if I go outside in the future. Why do I have to put out conditions?"


    An image involuntarily emerged in Yao Qian''s mind. You don''t know Yao Qian? A Quasi-Alchemy King! That''s my disciple! How is it? I''m amazing, aren''t I?


    "Puhwurk!" Yao Qian''s chest felt stifled, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat. A mouthful of blood sprayed out.


    If this sort of situation really occurred, he would rather go die!


    Ye Yuan wanted to mess with him to death!


    Yao Qian could not imagine just how Ye Yuan could resolve the riddle that nobody could in the thousands of years of the Endless World''s alchemy world.


    If not because he knew the prowess of the Tendon Gnawing Blood toxin, how could Yao Qian dare to make this bet with Ye Yuan!


    Yet, Ye Yuan really resolved this poison!


    Even with countless regrets, Yao Qian could not turn back time. The current Yao Qian had already sunk into a dilemma. A single misstep and his reputation would be utterly ruined!


    "Aiya, what''s with you, Elder Yao. Well, looks like our Tranquil Cloud Sect treats the elders very well. There''s too much blood in them that they can casually spit out a mouthful when they have nothing to do. En, en, I must work hard and cultivate so that I can get an elder position!"


    Ye Yuan did not hold any sympathy in his heart as he continued to pour salt on his wounds.


    Yao Qian merely had anger and anxiety inflict his heart. Vomiting a mouthful of blood was not a big deal to a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. Furthermore, as a Quasi-Alchemy King, Yao Qian could replenish the deficit in blood vitality just by casually eating some medicinal pills.


    Indeed, Yao Qian failed to endure, and another mouthful of blood sprayed out.


    Ye Yuan wanted to continue talking. Yao Qian could not be bothered with vomiting blood anymore and hastily said, "Ye Yuan, say it. How can I call off this bet?!"


    If he let Ye Yuan continue talking, he would really die today from vomiting blood.


    A Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse of his generation being angered to death by vomiting blood. This would absolutely shake the entire Endless World!


    Ye Yuan saw that the intensity was just about right. He blinked and said, "Elder Yao really doesn''t want to be my disciple? Actually, being my disciple really isn''t bad. I won''t even let ordinary people be!"


    This was not Ye Yuan boasting. In his previous life, only God knew how many alchemists wanted to go under his tutelage. But Ye Yuan did not accept a single one.


    Ji Qingyun disliked that teaching disciples wasted far, far too much time, delaying his researching the Alchemy Dao.


    Yao Qian did not speak and just shook his head decisively. He was already on the verge of collapse.


    "Sigh, that''s such a shame. I can''t show off to others in the future," Ye Yuan said regretfully.


    "Quick . . . Quickly say your terms!"


    Now that it had come to this, Yao Qian was already prepared to bleed heavily.


    "Elder Yao is really generous. You know that sect disciples don''t lead a good life. As a Pill Hall elder, Elder Yao should have quite a lot of points, right?" Ye Yuan enquired with a beam.


    Yao Qian''s heart jolted. "How much do you want?"


    Ye Yuan reached out two fingers.


    "20 thousand?" Yao Qian''s heart eased up. 20 thousand points were already quite a number to core disciples.


    "Is Elder Yao dismissing a beggar?"


    "200 thousand?"


    Yao Qian''s eyes went wide. It was truly demanding an exorbitant price!


    Ye Yuan shook his head again. "Two million!"


    "Two million? Why don''t you go rob?! Where do I have so many points?" Yao Qian was taken aback by Ye Yuan.


    Two million was also an astronomical figure to Yao Qian!


    He only accumulated a million plus points back then when he was hoarding for the Purple Center Soul Incantation.


    Although the elder position was high, expenses were high too. The points he had on hand were only roughly 500 thousand or so.


    2 million points were four times his total net worth!


    Seeing Yao Qian''s expression, Ye Yuan also came to realize that his asking price seemed to be too high.


    He originally wanted 2 million to give Jiang Yunhe 1.4 million to exchange for the Purple Center Soul Incantation. Then, he would have 600 thousand left, which should be enough to use for a long time.


    It looked like this plan was going to go bust.


    "How much do you have?"


    "I only have 300 thousand!"


    "Like that huh, then no talk."


    "Wait, wait!" Yao Qian hurriedly said. "I . . . I can gather up to a million! But, two million are really too much. Even us elders can''t possibly have that much! Two million points, even if I don''t use points in the future, I would also need to amass them for 10 years! You can ask the other elders about this, and you''ll know whether what I said is true or not."


    Ye Yuan rubbed his chin and was still quite dissatisfied. But since Yao Qian already said this, it was almost certainly the case. However, he was certain that Yao Qian definitely understated his own points.


    "1.2 million. No less."


    He had to pay some price since he wanted to call off the bet. The price was that Yao Qian would have to work for free for others several years after.


    Yao Qian did not say anything as his expression flickered indecisively.


    700 thousand points. He basically had to forget about doing other things for the next five years. It would essentially all be used to repay the debt.


    However, to really recover, it would require at least seven years!


    But compared to becoming Ye Yuan''s disciple, he would rather spend his days in debt!


    Finally, Yao Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Deal!"

 Chapter 232: Distributing Wealth

    Chapter 232: Distributing Wealth


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, quickly think of a plan! Ye Yuan hasn''t returned yet. Did something happen to him?" Lu-er asked anxiously.


    "Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Among us here, only you have the right to talk. Why don''t you go and inquire to see if they did anything to Ye Yuan?" Nanfeng Ruoqing also said.


    The few people were like ants on a hot pan, walking around Mo Yuntian non-stop.


    But Mo Yuntian also had a helpless face. "Not that I don''t wish to help Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, but I really don''t have to power to speak! The Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? I must be at the elder position and above to join. Furthermore, it''s strictly confidential. It''s simply impossible to inquire about the news."


    "Then . . . Then we just sit here and wait blankly? We have to do something!" Nanfeng Zhirou also voiced out.


    Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "The only thing we can do now is to trust Master. With him present, he definitely won''t let Ye Yuan suffer. Moreover, Ye Yuan''s talent is plain for everyone to see. I believe that the sect master is unlikely to do something that would cripple the sect''s prospects."


    The group discussed for a long time but did not come up with anything.


    Lu-er could not sit still anymore. "No way! I have to go find Young Master!"


    Finishing, she sprinted out of the door.


    But right after stepping outside, she just happened to see Ye Yuan who strolled into the court.


    Young Master was perfectly fine!


    When Lu-er saw that Ye Yuan was fine, the rock in her heart was finally put down.


    "Young Master, they didn''t do anything to you, right?" Lu-er still asked rather worriedly.


    "Your family''s young master is a Divine King''s reincarnation! What can they do to your family''s young master?" Ye Yuan cracked a partly-true, partly-false joke. Either way, nobody would believe him.


    "Will you die if you don''t brag?! Don''t you know how worried Lu-er was for you just now?" Nanfeng Zhirou also followed out and said exasperatedly.


    "Aren''t I am fine? Haha, thanks so much for everyone''s concern. Since everyone''s here, that also saves me the trip of finding each of you one by one," Ye Yuan said with a chortle.


    "En? You just came from the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing. What are you looking for us for?" Long Tang asked rather puzzledly.


    "Go in and talk."


    The few people entered the house and sat down.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng, Junior Apprentice Brother Long, the three of you take out your identity tokens. I have a large gift I want to give you guys," Ye Yuan said it bluntly.


    "En? Large gift? Can it be . . ." The people here were sharp-witted people. Hearing that Ye Yuan wanted their identity tokens, they naturally guessed what Ye Yuan wanted to do.


    But it was precisely so that they were even more skeptical.


    Wasn''t Ye Yuan escorted to the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? Why did he bring points back?


    Doubts were doubts, the three people still took out the identity tokens as asked.


    Ye Yuan also took out his own identity token and used soul force to transfer some points respectively.


    He originally needed so many points because he planned on giving them to Jiang Yunhe to exchange for the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation.


    But now that there was still a huge chunk of points missing, Ye Yuan obviously needed to think of some other ways of earning points.


    He knew that it was very challenging for newly accepted sect disciples to stride forward, so he naturally would not be stingy. He distributed some points to Nanfeng Ruoqing and the others.


    Either way, there was still 200 thousand points to be earned. He did not care about this paltry amount.


    "10 . . . 10 thousand points? Ye Yuan, where did you get so many points from?" Nanfeng Ruoqing inserted her divine sense into the token and could not help being greatly alarmed.


    "Mine is also 10 thousand points!" Long Tang said.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, this . . . Isn''t this way too much? You just entered the sect. There are still many areas you need to use points in. Although I don''t know where your points came from, giving it to us like this, do you have enough left to use?" Mo Yuntian asked hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Relax, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, I have plenty of points. Come and look for me again after you use finish. Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, right now is the crucial period for you. You have many areas where you need points for. These bit of points to express this junior apprentice brother''s goodwill."


    Mo Yuntian was presently at the Sixth Level Crystal Formation Realm and about to break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. He naturally could not avoid the cost for stepping into late-stage Crystal Formation Realm.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not giving him so many points because of Mo Yuntian''s expenses, but because he was indebted to him for saving his life.


    "But . . . this is too much!" Mo Yuntian was rather embarrassed.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, how many points did Ye Yuan give you?" Nanfeng Zhirou could not resist asking like a curious baby.


    "Uh, 50 thousand points!"


    "Hiss . . . What''s going on? Ye Yuan, didn''t you go to the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing? Why did you come back with so many points instead?" Nanfeng Ruoqing sucked in a cold breath.


    Ye Yuan snickered and recounted today''s experience briefly to everyone, making them wide-eyed and dumbfounded.


    1.2 million points!


    Mo Yuntian stayed at the Tranquil Cloud Sect for 10 years and did not have so many points even if he added everything up!


    But Ye Yuan only used six days to get these.


    Mo Yuntian smiled bitterly and said, "To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s alchemic talent actually do not pale in the slightest bit to your martial talent! However, you''ve offended the Ouyang Family to the core this time!"


    "No matter. Even if I don''t offend them, they would also come and offend me. If they dare to come to find trouble with me again, I don''t mind getting some more points," Ye Yuan said confidently.


    Right then, a symbol suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yuntian and started immolating, turning into ash instantly.


    A barely imperceptible streak of Essence energy tunneled into Mo Yuntian''s ear.


    "It''s the sound transmission talisman that Master sent. He asked me to bring Junior Apprentice Brother Ye to see him," Mo Yuntian said.


    "Hall Head Xiao? I''ll go with you," Ye Yuan replied.


    This meeting with Xiao Jian, Ye Yuan absolutely had to go.


    . . . . . .


    Seeing Ye Yuan once again, Xiao Jian sighed unceasingly.


    He initially wanted to exert utmost effort at the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing to help Ye Yuan out of his predicament.


    He did not imagine that he did not help much, but Ye Yuan himself slaughtered his way in and out however he like, ultimately butchering Yao Qian until not even a fragment of armor was left.


    Although not a lot of time passed, the matter of Yao Qian giving Ye Yuan 1.2 million points was already circulating among the upper echelons.


    Yao Qian alone naturally did not have so many points. He had to find other people to lend points from. This incident obviously could not be concealed.


    The first person Yao Qian went to find was unsurprisingly Ouyang Ming. But Ouyang Ming''s points on hand was even lesser than Yao Qian. Furthermore, Ouyang Ming obviously could not lend all of his points to him.


    Yao Qian could only find a few elders with pretty good relations and finally barely managed to gather together 1.2 million points before transferring to Ye Yuan.


    A bet to exchange for 1.2 million points. In the history of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, people dare not say that there would absolutely be no successor to Ye Yuan, but he definitely had no predecessors!


    Of course, this sort of bet looked simple, but without heaven-defying strength, don''t even think about it!


    One had to know, what Ye Yuan resolved was a puzzle that nobody could in thousands of years in the Endless World!


    Before this, Xiao Jian was truly unaware that Ye Yuan''s alchemic talent was actually so heaven-defying! This way, there was nothing odd about him possessing the True Rising Spirit Pill.


    "Ye Yuan . . ." Xiao Jian stared at Ye Yuan as he spoke, but swallowed back his words.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and took out the Canghua Sword from his storage ring and passed it to Xiao Jian.

    Chapter 233: Not Lacking Money


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seeing the Canghua Sword, Xiao Jian''s eyes became glued to it as he took it over from Ye Yuan''s hands with trembling hands.


    He lightly caressed the sword body, his eyes already wet.


    Ye Yuan and Mo Yuntian remained silent and watched Xiao Jian reminiscing Lu yan quietly.


    "Canghua, to think that this parting lasted over a hundred years!" Xiao Jian said with an emotional sigh.


    The current Xiao Jian seemed to have already walked out from his reminiscing Lu Yan emotions and recovered back to that Martial Hall''s Hall Head with intertwining sword intent.


    He returned Canghua back to Ye Yuan and said emotionally, "It looks like Canghua has already acknowledged you its master. It followed Master for 200 years and virtually became one with Master, but it recognized you as its master so quickly. It can be seen that you have an affinity with it."


    Towards these words, Ye Yuan was still quite contemptuous.


    Merely an 8-restrictions spirit artifact. It was effortless for Ye Yuan to want to subdue it.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan fused the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent on the Nine Heavens Road. This had the utmost attraction to the Canghua Sword. Recognizing a master was naturally not peculiar either.


    What Lu Yan pursued throughout his life was merely just the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, while Ye Yuan''s sword intent far surpassed that.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Canghua is spiritual. This period of time, it indeed helped me out a lot."


    Of course, the Canghua Sword was undoubtedly an excellent helper to the present Ye Yuan.


    If he did not have the Canghua Sword, there was no way his Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword would have such incredible might.


    Regardless whether it was the Nine Swords Stance or Thousand Flowing Petals, they both required the support of a powerful weapon. And the Canghua Sword was naturally the most convenient weapon to the Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan did not possess the Canghua Sword, the power of these two moves would be greatly diminished.


    "Is Master . . . all right?" Xiao Jian asked rather flusteredly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer. Only then did Xiao Jian come around.


    Ye Yuan went through the Nine Heavens Road, so he obviously had to swear a Heaven Dao Oath. How could he possibly answer his question?


    "My question was somewhat impetuous. Back then, Master did not have much lifespan left but suddenly disappeared. I guessed that he could have left for the Nine Heavens Road. Master''s life aspiration was to revive the Tranquil Cloud Sect, then charge back to the Northern Domain! For this, he did not mind sacrificing his flesh body to enter the Nine Heavens Road as a divine soul. It was truly a wax torch becoming completely dry! With the heaven''s blessings, Master managed to wait until you arrived. I believe that Master must have been overjoyed then!"


    From Xiao Jian''s words, Ye Yuan could tell that he truly understood Lu Yan very well. The truth was not far off from his conjectures.


    "In future, when my longevity approaches its limit, I''ll definitely follow in Master''s footsteps and seek out a successor for the sect!" Xiao Jian said decisively.


    Ye Yuan heart was moved, but he shook his head and said, "Hall Head Xiao, perhaps you master and disciple still can meet again someday. Why say something so despondent?"


    Xiao Jian thought that Ye Yuan was consoling him. He waved his hands and said, "I originally thought that I would never hear news about Master again in this lifetime. I didn''t think that he actually let you bring the Canghua Sword out. Ye Yuan, I know that you''re not some small creature that will stay in the pond. I only hope that you''ll treat Canghua well and be good to my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    Other than taking a look at the Canghua Sword, this was probably Xiao Jian''s biggest goal.


    With the performance at the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing plus the Thousand Flowing Petals that Mo Yuntian saw before, Xiao Jian could already tell that Ye Yuan was absolutely not something the tiny Tranquil Cloud Sect could retain.


    Just like Lu Yan, Xiao Jian only hoped that Ye Yuan would remember the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s nurturing and not forget where he came from. That was all.


    As for the strength of the sect, it was not the work of a single day. Unless Ye Yuan were willing to pour his entire life''s effort into this place, otherwise, it would clearly be impossible to strengthen the Tranquil Cloud Sect within a few short decades.


    Ye Yuan himself said it, entering the sect was only for the experience. His real backing was that unfathomable master!


    Hearing Xiao Jian said these, Ye Yuan knew that the goal of him pulling out that fictional master of his had already been achieved.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect was just a stopover on his path to the top. It was impossible for him to halt for too long here. If the sect entrusted all of its hopes on him, then that would be a catastrophic mistake.


    Ye Yuan did not have so much time. He had to return to the Divine Realm as soon as possible!


    Of course, Ye Yuan would do everything he could to help the Tranquil Cloud Sect. As for to what degree they could develop to, that would have to depend on the sect''s fortune.


    "Rest assure, Hall Head Xiao, I''ll always be a part of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Ye Yuan just replied lightly with this sentence.


    This was already his greatest promise.


    "Haha, good! It''s enough to hear this sentence from you!" Xiao Jian said with a chuckle.


    . . . . . .


    Leaving Xiao Jian''s place, Ye Yuan did not return but went to the refining room again.


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, elders and above had their own refining rooms, while the refining rooms used by disciples were communal.


    Same as the cultivation rooms, using the refining rooms always required the expenditure of points.


    However, when Pill Hall disciples used the refining rooms to craft finished products, they could sell a portion to the sect to exchange for points.


    Hence, every time Pill Hall disciples used the refining rooms, they would prepare ample ingredients to refine many medicinal pills in one shot.


    Of course, the points that could be exchanged for each type of medicinal pill was different.


    But in comparison, it was much easier for Pill Hall disciples to obtain points than Martial Hall disciples.


    The majority of Pill Hall disciples had some foundation. Like Nanfeng Ruoqing, an alchemist who was selected to enter the sect, she could directly refine a complete Tier 2 medicinal pill independently. Points would naturally be much easier to earn.


    "This Senior Apprentice Brother, I want a Tier 3 refining room," Ye Yuan said to the disciple on duty.


    The disciple on duty shot Ye Yuan a glance and said in surprise, "You''re a Martial Hall disciple, right? Concurrently holding the rank of low-rank Alchemy Master, what are you using such a high tier refining room for? I say, Junior, you don''t need to squander points in this manner even if you have a lot, right? You''d better use a Tier 2 refining room."


    Ye Yuan was wearing a Martial Hall disciple outfit, but a two-star badge was hanging from his chest. That disciple on duty could obviously see it distinctly.


    This disciple on duty was a warm-hearted person who tried to advise Ye Yuan enthusiastically.


    Ye Yuan did not think such a situation would occur. He smiled and said, "Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother''s concern. But a Tier 2 refining room is really insufficient. It''s better you give me a Tier 3 room."


    Tier 2 medicinal cauldrons simply could not withstand the refinement of Tier 3 medicinal pills, because the intensity of flames that Tier 3 medicinal pills required was much stronger than Tier 2 medicinal pills. Even for a peak Tier 2 medicinal cauldron existence, a single mishap, and the cauldron would blow up. Hence, Ye Yuan wanted a Tier 3 refining room.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother is new, right?"


    "Uh, yes. I''ve only entered the sect for a few days."


    "No wonder! Junior Apprentice Brother is likely still unaware of the value of points. Wasting it like this will affect your future cultivation!"


    ". . . Senior Apprentice Brother, I really want to use the Tier 3 refining room."


    "Sigh, I say, why are you so stubborn? Don''t tell me that you, a low-rank Alchemy Master, can refine Tier 3 medicinal pills? One day in a Tier 3 refining room requires 300 points. Even if you have money, you shouldn''t spend it like this!"


    Ye Yuan was on the verge of collapsing. But he was truly advising from the bottom of his heart, so he really could not lose his temper.


    Feeling helpless, Ye Yuan directly fished out his identity token and threw it to the disciple on duty, saying, "Swipe away, Senior Apprentice Brother. I do not lack money!"

 Chapter 234: Tri-Origins Samsara Art!

    Chapter 234: Tri-Origins Samsara Art!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The disciple on duty took Ye Yuan''s token to swipe it and laugh at the same time as he said, "Haha, you''ve just entered the sect for a few days, how many . . ."


    The second half of the disciple''s words were forcefully stuck in his throat.


    1.13 million and 100 points?


    He read it multiple times before confirming that he did not see wrongly.


    "H-How can there be thi-this much?" The disciple on duty''s eyes went wide, and his words even became stutters.


    "Can I enter now? En, two days will do. I''ll have to trouble you, Senior Apprentice Brother." Ye Yuan obviously would not explain where these points came from.


    The disciple on duty helped Ye Yuan''s swipe 600 points mechanically, then woodenly watched Ye Yuan walk inside.


    Ever since he entered the sect, he had never seen so many points before. This kind of visual impact was truly overwhelming.


    1.1 million points. How many Tier 2 medicinal pills needed to be refined to exchange for that?


    The disciple on duty could not help doing mental arithmetic . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan wanted a Tier 3 refining room naturally to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills.


    The Tier 3 medicinal pills he could refine now were not many. He could basically only refine low-grade Tier 3 medicinal pills, but this was already enough.


    The Demon Crystal Pill was only a low-grade Tier 3 medicinal pill!


    He promised Yuan Fei back then the Demon Crystal Pill, and now, he could already refine it. It was a full 10 months in advance of the time promised back then!


    The ingredients that the Demon Crystal Pill required were not uncommon. Yuan Fei had them prepared long ago. He was only waiting for Ye Yuan to become an Alchemy Grandmaster.


    Ye Yuan formed a seal, and Yuan Fei appeared.


    Seeing that they were in a refining room, Yuan Fei was rather unsure.


    "Young Master, this is?"


    "Yuan Fei, this period of time, you went through fire and water with me. I''ve always borne this in mind. Now, the time to repay you has arrived," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yuan Fei reacted very swiftly and said delightedly, "Young Master, you mean . . . Demon Crystal Pill?"


    "That''s right."


    "But Young Master, you''re only . . ."


    Yuan Fei saw Ye Yuan''s realm and could not really continue speaking. How could an Alchemy Master refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill?


    "Only an Alchemy Master? Hur hur, don''t tell me you think I called you out just to mess with you?" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Yuan Fei dare not!"


    "I originally thought that I would only have high-rank Alchemy Master soul force at the late stage Spirit Condensation Realm, that''s why I promised you a year''s time. But now, I already have the soul force of a high-rank Alchemy Master, so we obviously don''t need to wait for such a long time."


    Yuan Fei was exuberant when he heard it and said, "Young Master actually has such strength!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Naturally! Although it will be somewhat strenuous, refining the Demon Crystal Pill shouldn''t be an issue."


    The strenuous Ye Yuan talked about was actually referring to insufficient essence energy.


    The consumption of essence energy to alchemists was naturally much greater when refining Tier 3 medicinal pills. If Ye Yuan had late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm strength, refining would be much easier.


    In fact, Ye Yuan''s present essence energy could already compare to ordinary late stage Spirit Condensation Realm, but the expenditure of Tier 3 medicinal pills was far from comparable to Tier 2 medicinal pills. That was why it was taxing.


    Listening to Ye Yuan''s words, Yuan Fei started to tremble with excitement.


    He gave up the dignity of an ape king to willingly become Ye Yuan''s servant, wasn''t it for today? Now that Ye Yuan actually realized the first promise so quickly, how could this not agitate him?


    "Yuan Fei thanks Young Master!"


    "Haha, I know that you still have doubts in your heart. So give thanks after I refine the medicinal pill."


    Ye Yuan retrieved the ingredients from his storage ring and started to fiddle with it on the operating station.


    The refinement of Tier 3 medicinal pills was not as easy as Tier 2 medicinal pills. Otherwise, there would not be so few Alchemy Grandmasters.


    Wanting to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills, the bare minimum requirement was soul force reaching the degree of Alchemy Grandmaster!


    That also meant that only a heaven-defying existence like Ye Yuan could use refinement techniques to compensate for the inadequacy of soul force.


    But it was not that one could compensate for this kind of inadequacy just by grasping the refining method.


    Ye Yuan''s refining technique had to be trained to the Legendary Realm before he could accomplish this sort of impossible task!


    Leaping ranks to refine medicinal pills was much more challenging than crossing ranks to do battle!


    Many martial artists could leap ranks to battle, but there was likely not a single one who could leap ranks to refine medicinal pills in the Endless World!


    Perhaps there were some alchemy path geniuses with powerful soul force that could cross a minor rank to refine medicinal pills, but it was virtually impossible to cross a major realm to refine medicinal pills!


    Forget about the Endless World, even in the Divine Realm, those who could leap ranks to refine medicinal pills were scarce and few.


    The other thing was essence energy. The higher the medicinal pill rank, the greater that expenditure of essence energy. Without the adequate essence energy reserves, it was basically impossible to support the refinement of the medicinal pill to completion.


    Only refining techniques that had reached the Legendary Realm could lessen the consumption of essence energy to the greatest extent to complete this kind of virtually impossible thing.


    Crossing ranks to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills was also a humongous challenge to Ye Yuan. For this, he even specially spent 15 minutes to meditate.


    He only started the preparation work after he completely entered Heart Like Still Water state.


    Preparing the herbs, extracting and refining the medicinal embryo, Ye Yuan''s preparatory work was done very quickly.


    But this time, Ye Yuan''s preparatory work was different from the past. He did not split the herbs into two portions.


    If Nanfeng Ruoqing were present, she would surely be greatly alarmed and asked "Could it be that you are not using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique to refine Tier 3 medicinal pill?"


    Ye Yuan really did not plan on using the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique!


    Arriving in front of the medicinal cauldron, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, and abruptly fired out a streak of fire from his finger, enveloping the medicinal embryo.


    It was precisely the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!


    Ye Yuan pushed the power of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame to the limits of Tier 2, but it was much better than the refining room''s fire seed.


    The first step, cleansing!


    The extraction and refinement of medicinal embryo was only a crude refinement. There were still various kinds of residual dregs within the ingredients which must be cleansed completely using flames!


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had an innate advantage at this step. Its innate attribute was cleansing!


    It was precisely so that the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was one of the essence fires most adored by alchemists.


    Ye Yuan''s hands danced around like phantoms while that bundle of fire danced along with Ye Yuan''s hands.


    After a few short moments, Ye Yuan''s hands split and pressed down.


    Only to hear a boom, the entire medicinal cauldron ignited instantly. The refinement officially began.


    "Tri-Origins Samsara Art! Begin!"


    Ye Yuan gave a soft cry. The flames in the entire cauldron instantly skyrocketed!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s figure also vanished from its original spot, leaving behind an afterimage!


    Seeing this scene, Yuan Fei''s eyes became fixated.


    Although he did not know alchemy, he was present when Ye Hang was refining pills before, and there was not such a commotion.


    Similarly refining Tier 3 medicinal pills, wasn''t this commotion too big?


    With Yuan Fei''s visual prowess, he could naturally see Ye Yuan''s figure.


    While Ye Yuan''s actions were extremely fast, virtually like going in circles around the medicinal cauldron, Yuan Fei could see clearly that Ye Yuan only paused slightly at three points surrounding the medicinal cauldron!


    And every time he stopped, he would form an extremely profound seal, striking it into the medicinal cauldron using essence energy.


    "Young Master''s alchemy skills are much stronger than his father''s! I really don''t dare to believe it! He''s only 15 years old, how on earth did he train it?" Yuan Fei was blown away.

 Chapter 235: Dual Breakthroughs!

    Chapter 235: Dual Breakthroughs!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Although Yuan Fei was an outsider in terms of alchemy, he still had a good knowledge of it.


    Ye Yuan''s refining method was not even on the same level as Ye Hang''s!


    Yuan Fei could tell that Ye Yuan only struck out seal at three points. The location where he fired out the seals, and his strength, were exactly the same as the previous time!


    Being able to ensure such outrageously exquisite skills during such high-speed movements, judging with his own abilities, Yuan Fei was certain that he simply could not do it!


    Even the Tier 3 him could not do it, but Ye Yuan did it!


    Yuan Fei felt that this sort of refinement technique, without repeatedly tempering over and over again, it was impossible to achieve!


    The problem was, Ye Yuan was only 15 years old. How did he do it?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s technique flowed freely like water, making him feel relaxed and refreshed in spirit. It was clearly a set of seals, but Yuan Fei felt that it was a kind of art!


    It was simply inconceivable!


    Yuan Fei was only a layman. As the saying went, professionals could see the intricacies, while laymen would watch the show. If Nanfeng Ruoqing were here, she would definitely be so shocked that she would scream!


    Or perhaps, she would enter sudden enlightenment state again and achieve a breakthrough on the Alchemy Path.


    Because the Tri-Origins Samsara Art that Ye Yuan was using currently was also wielded to the Legendary Realm!


    And the Tri-Origins Samsara Art was even more ingenious, even more complex, and even harder to train in compared to the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. "Tri-Origins, congeal, pill formed! Condense for me!"


    Only to see three streaks of light converge within the medicinal cauldron at the same time, disappearing after. The initially frenzied refinement also became peaceful currently.


    "Huuu . . . Using the Tri-Origins Samsara Art now is indeed too early! However, the Heart Like Still Water Realm is indeed powerful. I can actually really support it!" Ye Yuan flopped onto the ground and sighed with admiration.


    The same as the previous time he crossed ranks to refine, Ye Yuan was so tired that he was about to collapse.


    But the difficulty of the refinement this time was incomparable to the previous time. If not for the Heart Like Still Water Realm supporting Ye Yuan, he might just have given up halfway.


    Such complicated seals, such precise technique, such a high-intensity refinement, the exhaustion on the mind was enormous.


    Ye Yuan''s current divine soul realm was not yet sufficient to support him in completing this refinement. It was that Heart Like Still Water heart Realm that compensated for this inadequacy.


    "Are you alright, Young Master?" Yuan Fei asked concernedly.


    If not for him, Ye Yuan would not need to refine the Demon Crystal Pill in advance and did not need to work so hard.


    Crossing ranks to refine was impressive, but it was not something easy.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "No matter, just rest a while and I''ll be fine."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan reached out and beckoned. The medicinal pill flew out from the medicinal cauldron and landed in his hands.


    "Hur hur, my efforts were not wasted. It''s actually transcendent-grade again! Yuan Fei, you keep it first. In two day''s time, I''ll bring you into the cultivation room. You break through there."


    Ye Yuan directly threw the medicinal pill to Yuan Fei. He himself fished out a medicinal pill to consume and began to recover his condition.


    . . . . . .


    A day later, Ye Yuan brought Yuan Fei into an A-grade cultivation room and started to undergo a breakthrough.


    Yuan Fei adjusted his condition and directly consumed that transcendent-grade Demon Crystal Pill.


    Very soon, the fluctuations within the cultivation room gradually grew stronger.


    Yuan Fei was originally peak early-stage Tier 3. With the transcendent-grade Demon Crystal Pill, breaking through was a cinch.


    The breakthrough process was very smooth. Roughly half a day''s time, Yuan Fei advanced to the middle-stage Tier 3!


    The first thing Yuan Fei did after breaking through was to give a deep bow to Ye Yuan.


    "Yuan Fei give thanks to Young Master!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "No need to be courteous between us. This is what you deserve."


    Yuan Fei sighed emotionally and said, "Yuan Fei is ashamed! Back then when I listened to Young Master''s words, Yuan Fei even thought that it was a young man''s wild pitch. Thinking back now, following Young Master was truly the most correct thing that Yuan Fei did in this life!"


    Although Ye Yuan convinced Yuan Fei back then, towards Ye Yuan''s rampant words, Yuan Fei only believed half of it.


    He followed Ye Yuan merely to seek out that trace of hope to break through.


    In the beginning, the martial talent that Ye Yuan displayed was naturally without question.


    All the way until Ye Yuan taught Ye Hang alchemy did Yuan Fei finally rejoice over his choice.


    To be able to guide an Alchemy Grandmaster on how to refine medicinal pills, that meant that Ye Yuan at least had the strength that did not lose out to an Alchemy Grandmaster. As long as his realm reached the mark, he could naturally refine Tier 3 medicinal pills.


    Except, Yuan Fei never could have dreamt that this day would actually arrive so quickly!


    Seeing Ye Yuan personally refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill, Yuan Fei finally knew just how powerful this master he submitted to was.


    "Haha! To recognize an Essence Qi Realm martial artist as master, you also needed great resolve. Back then, I already said that you have immense luck. Your accomplishments in this life will definitely not be just Tier 4! Widen your horizons more. Tier 5, which is Taking Form, is the starting point of you demonic beasts!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Hearing these words, Yuan Fei''s heart jolted.


    Honestly speaking, he did not think about Tier 5 Taking Form, even after he followed Ye Yuan! Being able to break through to Tier 4 was already the limits of his imaginations.


    Tier 5 Taking Form was too hard, way too difficult!


    One had to know that demonic beasts Tier 4 was equivalent to the amalgamation of the human race Sea Transformation Realm and Soul Sea Realm, virtually the distance of two major realms.


    In the Endless World, Tier 4 was roughly the endpoint for demonic beasts.


    But hearing the present Ye Yuan, it was just a matter of course.


    If he heard others say this kind of words in the past, he would definitely give that person a tight slap, then tell them to not reach beyond their means.


    But now, there was indescribable longing in Yuan Fei''s heart!


    "Yuan Fei understands! Thank you very much, Young Master!" Yuan Fei said sincerely.


    "En. Oh yes, later, I''ll refine some medicinal pills for your clansmen. They have already reached the bottleneck of Tier 2. As long as their age isn''t too old, breaking through to Tier 3 shouldn''t be an issue," Ye Yuan said.


    Yuan Fei was overjoyed upon hearing that and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master!"


    Ye Yuan''s heart suddenly jolted. He formed another seal, and White Light appeared inside the cultivation room.


    "Haha, you finally woke up, White Light? En? Directly broke through to Tier 2?" Ye Yuan was first thrilled, followed by astonishment.


    White Light gave a low roar. His tiger head rubbed against Ye Yuan''s leg, looking incredibly adorable.


    "Young Master, he''s thanking you," Yuan Fei suddenly said.


    "Haha, thanks for what? You ate so many medicinal pills in one go, nearly scared me to death back then!" Ye Yuan was still somewhat filled with trepidation recalling the scene of how White Light swallowed so many medicinal pills in one go.


    But White Light''s physique was really rather special. A sleep and he actually broke through to Tier 2 already.


    Yuan Fei saw that White Light broke through and was also filled with envy. "Thinking back then, I spent a total of 50 years to breakthrough from Tier 1 to Tier 2! White Light is at most five years old and actually broke through to Tier 2 already! But looks like only he can keep up with Young Master''s speed!"


    Ye Yuan''s heart skipped and asked, "Yuan Fei, can you see White Light''s origin?"


    Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "White Light''s origin is bound to be extraordinary. But I don''t have it inside my inherited memories. However, the way I see it, the concentration of White Light''s White Tiger bloodline is definitely very high!"

 Chapter 236: Trouble Comes

    Chapter 236: Trouble Comes


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan could obviously see it too. His gaze when looking at White Light flickered uncertainly.


    White Light wagged its tail like it was showing off.


    "Uh . . . Could it mean that White Light has the potential to become a divine beast? If this world can give birth to divine beasts, does that mean that it can also give birth to Deity Realm powerhouses?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    White Light gave another low roar. Ye Yuan laughed wryly when he saw the situation and said, "Haha, come on, White Light! Let''s affirm our Dao and become deities together!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, White Light''s tiger head rubbed against Ye Yuan, appearing very lovingly.


    It was evident that this little fellow''s ambition was not small either.


    . . . . . .


    The next day, Ye Yuan arrived at the Support Star Pavilion.


    Although Ye Yuan''s points were enough for him to use for a long time, he still decided to ready enough points required for the Purple Center Soul Incantation talking.


    To earn points, he naturally had to come to the Support Star Pavilion to take on missions.


    The Support Star Pavilion could be said to be a very crowded place in the sect. It was packed every day, with people coming and going.


    If sect disciples wanted to continue surviving, they had to take on missions non-stop. This place naturally became somewhere they must visit.


    Putting aside outer-sect disciples, even some extremely powerful core disciples would be frequent visitors here.


    There was a rich variety of sect missions, but they were divided into nine levels. Level one was the easiest and level nine was the hardest.


    Level three and below missions were mostly some miscellaneous tasks, such as managing herb gardens, cleaning to ensure hygiene, so on and so forth, these sort of simple things.


    Of course, these simple missions were also split by difficulty level. The points that could be obtained was different.


    From level four onwards, it would be missions that were relatively more dangerous, or comparatively harder. As expected, the points awarded by these missions were also different according to the difference in level.


    These sect missions included Pill Hall missions and Martial Hall missions. Any disciple could take them on.


    Naturally, Pill Hall disciples mostly took on Pill Hall missions while Martial Hall disciples took Martial Hall missions. Crossover mission acceptance was a rare occurrence.


    Even when crossover, the majority would be Pill Hall disciples taking Martial Hall missions. But when Martial Hall disciples see Pill Hall missions, they could only stare google-eyed.


    Too many Pill Hall missions were related to alchemy. The specialization was incredibly strong. Martial Hall disciple basically could only look on.


    There was a great hall in the Support Star Pavilion. In the center of the hall was an extremely large jade wall. This jade wall contained all the missions. Disciples only had to check with their divine sense to see the contents of the missions.


    Disciples just had to record down the mission''s level and number to retrieve the mission jade slip from the disciple on duty.


    After completing the mission, disciples could rely on the mission jade slips and the designated mission token to collect the rewarded points from the disciple on duty.


    Ye Yuan inserted his divine sense into the jade wall and started to go through the missions.


    After slightly checking level one missions, Ye Yuan gave up straight away. Doing these sort of missions was purely a waste of time. The points were few and it even delayed cultivation time.


    Following that, he checked the level two and three mission and gave up too.


    He only looked slightly more in detail when he saw the level four missions.


    There were missions issued by the Martial Hall among the level four missions and also missions released by the Pill Hall.


    Many of the missions given by the Martial Hall were to go outside and run errands. There were those that were to hunt down some heinously fiendish individuals. Others were to help secular world countries, etc. There were too many to enumerate.


    But the vast majority of missions published by the Pill Hall were about alchemy. In such a large sect, the medicinal pill consumption each day was tremendous. If the Pill Hall lacked some medicinal pills, they would put up a mission here to let disciples refine them and reward with points.


    Ye Yuan swept through the level four missions but was ultimately uninterested.


    Too little points!


    A level four mission. Those that were lower only had 1000 points, while those higher ones only had 2000 points.


    If Ye Yuan were to do level four missions, until which donkey year would he be able to earn 300 thousand points?


    "Quickly look, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng returned!"


    "It''s true! I heard that what he took on this time was a level six mission: to hunt down a First Level Crystal Formation Realm serial rapist!"


    "Yeah, I also heard it! It''s said that this level six mission reward was 20 thousand points. Looks like he doesn''t need to go outside for a very long time."


    "Hey, did you hear? Ceng Cheng''s younger brother, Ceng Yu, was counter-robbed by a newbie disciple and went to hide in the cultivation rooms? Now that Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng came back, it''s probably going to be tragic for that newbie disciple."


    "Tch, Ceng Yu is someone who bullies the weak but fears the strong. He should have been taken care of long ago! If not for his brother, he would have been beaten up by others! If you tell me, I say nicely done!"


    "Shh . . . Softer. Don''t let Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng hear it. He''s very protective!"


    Ye Yuan''s thoughts were interrupted by these two person''s discussion. He looked towards that black-clothed youth who was currently collecting the rewards with some surprise.


    No wonder that Ceng Yu was so cocky. Turned out that he had such a big brother as his backing.


    "Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, strength is pretty decent. Reckon that he''s probably around the same as Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Jing, right?"


    Ceng Cheng handed the mission jade slip and a wooden box to the disciple on duty with a haughty look and said, "Level six, No. 72 mission completed. Do a check."


    The disciple on duty had an impressed look as he said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng is really amazing! Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and able to kill a First Level Crystal Formation Realm expert! I reckon that before long, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng will be able to enter the ranks of elite disciples!"


    A trace of delight flashed across Ceng Cheng''s eyes, but he concealed it very well and said with a smile, "Just a secular world First Level Crystal Formation Realm. Not even worth mentioning. Quite a number of seniors have this strength."


    "Haha, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng is really modest! Half a year ago, you were still taking on level five missions, but now, you''ve already completed a level six mission which is ranked closer to the front. This sort of improvement speed is also extremely amazing among the seniors! At this rate, Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng can most likely complete level seven missions very soon! That is a watershed!" The disciple on duty poured out flattery like it was free.


    "Haha, nah, nah," Ceng Cheng could not hide his delight and said with a chuckle.


    The watershed that the disciple on duty talked about was actually the dividing crest between elite disciples and core disciples!


    Level seven and above missions; basically, only elite disciples could complete them.


    If Ceng Cheng could complete a level seven mission, it would mean that he already had one foot into the rankings of elite disciples. However, wanting to cross this was far from as simple as imagined.


    This point was evident just by looking at the difficulty of level seven missions.


    But one had to acknowledge that the disciple on duty''s words scratched Ceng Cheng''s itch.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng, the reward has already entered your identity token. You do a check," the disciple on duty said with a flattering smile.


    "Tch, isn''t it just completing a level six mission? Look how happy you are!" At this time, a disharmonious voice sounded out.


    Ceng Cheng''s face changed, and he said frostily, "Qiu Peng, don''t be cynical over here! If you have the capabilities, then you go complete a level six mission too for me to see!"


    Qiu Peng was also a top character in the Earth Barracks, around the same as Ceng Cheng.


    These two people had always been at odds, contending bitterly. However, Qiu Peng had always been slightly inferior.


    "Hur hur, I came to take on a level six mission. You just watch. Oh, right, since you have time to be proud of yourself here, why don''t you hurry and go take a look at that precious little brother of yours?" Qiu Peng said with a beam.

 Chapter 237: Level Nine Mission!

    Chapter 237: Level Nine Mission!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ceng Cheng''s face fell as he said, "What about my brother?"


    "Haha, your younger brother kicked a metal plate this time. He went to collect protection fees but got collected instead. Oh, the other party is even a newcomer. I heard that he''s only Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Tsk tsk, Ceng Yu that punk is really declining with each day." Qiu Peng burst into laughter.


    After all, there were not many people who witnessed it with their own eyes. Qiu Peng also got it from hearsay and felt that Ceng Yu was really too scrub to actually lose to a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    They would not feel that Ye Yuan was very amazing but only feel that Ceng Yu was rotten mud which could not even hold up a wall.


    Ceng Cheng''s eyes narrowed. A killing intent was released as he asked in a low voice, "What''s that punk called?"


    Qiu Peng did not mind, however, as he said, "How would I know? Why would I concern myself with this kind of small squabbles between unranked nobodies? Wouldn''t you know after inquiring from the Earth Barracks yourself? Make way, make way, I''m going to receive missions."


    Finishing, Qiu Peng no longer bothered with Ceng Cheng as he swaggered into the great hall.


    "This Senior Apprentice Brother, I want to take the level nine No. 3 mission," Ye Yuan came in front of the disciple on duty and said lightly.


    "Oh, sure thing. Level nine No. 3 . . . What? You want level nine No. 3 mission?!" The disciple on duty did not react to it at the start. After talking halfway, he suddenly exclaimed in shock.


    This shocked exclamation was too ear-piercing. Everybody was startled by him.


    Ye Yuan secretly sighed. He knew that this kind of situation would happen. However, low-level missions award too little points. Doing them one at a time was seriously too troublesome. He could only choose high level missions.


    Level nine missions, even elite disciples could not complete them. The level nine No. 3 mission that Ye Yuan picked had already been hanging there for 10 years, but nobody cared to ask about it the entire time. It could be seen that the difficulty had already reached the extent where it made people''s hair stand on end.


    "Yes, level nine No. 3. I''ve to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother to give me the mission jade slip."


    The originally abnormally noisy hall instantly quietened down, leaving only Ye Yuan''s voice reverberating.


    Qiu Peng was originally prepared to inquire about missions but turned his head back to look at Ye Yuan at this time.


    Ceng Cheng who was originally preparing to leave to settle the scores with Ye Yuan also turned back currently, staring at Ye Yuan oddly.


    "Cough cough, this Junior Apprentice Brother, did you mistook the mission? Nobody has taken on the level nine No. 3 mission for many years already. Because the difficulty is extremely great, it was hailed as the impossible mission."


    After being stupefied for a while, the disciple on duty recovered. But his first reaction was that Ye Yuan made a mistake.


    "No mistake. It''s level nine No. 3 mission. I''m taking it," Ye Yuan said.


    Right then, there were many people who also recovered from the shock. Their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with amusement.


    "The level nine No. 3 mission is famous for being the impossible mission. It''s simply impossible to complete. Could it be that this boy chose this mission to gain public favor?"


    "Haha, his brain is probably missing screws! This is the mission put up by Grand Elder Skymaple! It''s been a whole five years since anybody dared to receive it!"


    "Yeah. I heard that in the beginning, there were many people who took on this mission. The majority of them were elite disciples! But not a single person among them could complete the mission!"


    "Not only that! Grand Elder Skymaple offered a reward of 300 thousand points plus a Heavenly Silkworm Flexible Armor. Even many elders were moved. But up to this point, this mission has been hanging there the entire time. Such that towards the end, nobody even asked about it."


    "Truly biting off more than he can chew. A low-rank Alchemy Master, a Martial Hall disciple too, actually dare to take Grand Elder Skymaple''s mission. This is purely being bored and looking for a beating!"


    "Haha, Grand Elder Skymaple doesn''t have a good temper. Let''s just wait to see the joke."


    This level nine No. 3 mission was the alchemy path mission published by the sect''s grand elder, Skymaple. The contents were to fill in the missing bits of a Tier 4 pill formula.


    To Ye Yuan, he naturally would not receive a level nine martial path mission. That was not much different from seeking death.


    The so-called level nine alchemy path mission might perhaps be hard to others, but to Ye Yuan, it did not pose much of a difficulty.


    He did not wish to draw too much attention either, but it was seriously too troublesome to choose those low difficulty missions. He only had to complete this level nine mission, and he would have sufficient points to exchange for the Purple Center Soul Incantation.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not bother with drawing attention. Saving trouble was the kingly way.


    "This . . . Why don''t you reconsider, Junior Apprentice Brother? This is a level nine mission!" The disciple on duty felt that there was still a need to remind Ye Yuan.


    "I know it''s a level nine mission. I need points," Ye Yuan said.


    ". . . Fine then. But don''t blame me for not warning you. Grand Elder Skymaple''s temper isn''t good." the disciple on duty said as he took Ye Yuan''s identity token and pressed it against the mission jade slip.


    The mission contents immediately popped up on mission jade slip: Level nine No. 3 mission: complete the Tier 4 medicinal pill, Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. Reward: 300 thousand points and a Heavenly Silkworm Flexible Armor. Mission personnel: Ye Yuan.


    Everyone looked at the mission on the jade wall and looked at Ye Yuan again, their gaze filled with sympathy and pity.


    But Qiu Peng seemed to have other thoughts. "Ye Yuan, this name is really familiar! Oh yeah, it''s him . . ."


    He went in front of Ceng Cheng and said amusedly, "Ceng Cheng, aren''t you looking for the person who beat up your younger brother?"


    "En? You know who?"


    "Hur hur, far away on the horizon, yet right before your eyes." While talking, Qiu Peng''s gaze looked towards Ye Yuan.


    Ceng Cheng''s eyes focused and said icily, "My little brother was beaten by this hothead?"


    A Martial Hall disciple and low-rank Alchemy Master but accepted a level nine mission. What was he if not a hothead?


    Now that he heard that his brother was actually beaten up by such a guy, Ceng Cheng''s heart involuntarily agreed with Qiu Peng''s appraisal.


    He was really declining with each passing day!


    "If I recall correctly, that new disciple who taught your brother a lesson is called Ye Yuan. Moreover, this boy looks very unfamiliar, isn''t that so?" Qiu Peng said smilingly.


    Ceng Cheng''s face darkened, and he went up to block Ye Yuan.


    Seeing that Ceng Cheng harbored ill intentions, Ye Yuan could not help frowning. He did not think that Ceng Cheng would knock on his door so quickly.


    He was interrupted slightly just now before sinking his senses into the jade wall to find missions and did not notice Qiu Peng and Ceng Cheng''s conversation.


    But even if he heard it, Ye Yuan would not pay any notice either.


    Just a Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. It would not cause too big a trouble to Ye Yuan.


    "You''re the one who beat my little brother and even snatched his points?"


    "Who''s your brother? Who are you?" Ye Yuan pretended that he did not know anything. Towards people looking to find trouble, he had never given any good attitude.


    "Humph! Did you beat up a disciple called Ceng Yu a few days ago? He''s my younger brother. I''m called Ceng Yu."


    "Oh, that matter huh." Realization ''dawned upon'' Ye Yuan. He said, "I did teach a lesson to some guys who didn''t have eyes a few days back. But didn''t remember their names. Which one is your brother?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s casual look, Ceng Cheng felt infuriated. "Good! Excellent! A Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm who dares to receive a level nine mission indeed have the guts! Since your guts are so great, do you dare to accept my points challenge?"

 Chapter 238: You Wanted To See It

    Chapter 238: You Wanted To See It


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Points challenge? How many points do you have?" Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    When the crowd saw the look of Ye Yuan rushing to his death, they could not help sighing.


    Ceng Cheng''s strength was only a step away from the Heaven Barracks. Wouldn''t he easily capture the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan?


    But Ye Yuan was completely unaware. Instead, he was very motivated after he heard points, like Ceng Cheng''s points were already his.


    Ceng Cheng was stunned at first, then sneered coldly and said, "Even if you snatched Ceng Yu''s points, the total is around 1000 points or so, right? Even asking me how many points I have? I''ll bet all the points you have!"


    Points challenge was a way of competing permitted by the sect. The challengers would agree on a fixed number of points. The winner would get the other party''s points.


    This sort of challenge did not have a points limit. As long as there were no deaths, anything goes.


    Ceng Cheng already knew that Ye Yuan had just entered the sect. Even if he stole points from Ceng Yu and the rest, it would be around 1000 or so. He himself just had to come up with some small change, and that would do.


    He just did a level six mission and earned 20 thousand points. Now, his points on hand already approached 30 thousand!


    Even within the Earth Barracks, these points were quite a lot already.


    Except, Ceng Cheng was unaware that his points were just pocket change to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had 1.13 million points on hand. Ceng Cheng''s 30 thousand points just happened to be a minuscule amount.


    The matter of Yao Qian compensating Ye Yuan 1.2 million points was only limited to spreading among the sect''s upper echelons. It was impossible for these disciples to know.


    No matter what, the prestige of elders had to be upheld. Other people could laugh at Yao Qian privately, but it was naturally impossible to spill it all out to these disciples.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ceng Cheng''s haughty look and could not resist laughing as he said, "Bet all of my points? You can''t afford it. You tell me how many points you have first. Uh, if there''s 100 thousand, maybe 80 thousand, I''ll bet with you. If it''s too little, then don''t bother me."


    Ceng Yu laughed from extreme anger, seeing that Ye Yuan''s tone was so big, and so he said, "What a joke! Even if you threw yourself into the bet, it wouldn''t reach 100 thousand points. To actually dare be so wildly arrogant!"


    Ye Yuan shot Ceng Cheng a nonchalant glance and said with a sigh, "That means you don''t have 100 thousand points? Initially wanted to earn some points. Sigh, since you don''t have, then there isn''t anything to discuss. Go and play in the corner alone. I still have to find Grand Elder Skymaple to complete the mission."


    ". . . You really take yourself to be some important character, choosing a level nine mission to posture. Wait until you get taken care of by Grand Elder Skymaple, I''ll watch how you posture!"


    "What''s that got to do with you? Make way for me if you don''t have 100 thousand points. A good dog doesn''t block the path."


    "Hahaha . . . Did you guys hear that? A newbie brat asked for 100 thousand points from the very start! I want to ask how many points do you have in total? How many points you have, I''ll bet with you that amount!" Ceng Yu said with a snicker.


    Very evidently, Ye Yuan''s words indeed sounded like a joke when others heard it.


    Even for elite disciples, their tokens had at most 100 thousand points or so. A newcomer who had only entered a sect for a few days actually asked for 10 thousand points straightaway was indeed quite funny.


    With Ceng Cheng laughing, many also laughed along. They clearly felt that Ye Yuan was a silly boy who was impractical.


    "Haha, this punk has only entered the sect for several days. I''m afraid that he hasn''t even made clear what points are, right?"


    "Yeah. I reckon that he doesn''t have any concept towards points at all, asking for 100 thousand points straight away. Does he think that points are cabbages?"


    "Of course points aren''t cabbages. I guess that he''s treating points like gold and silver in the secular world, asking for 100 thousand points easily. Most likely, he''s from a wealthy family."


    "Heh heh, being so arrogant in front Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng will result in a big loss. Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng just finished a level six mission. His strength probably already approaches Heaven Barracks. This boy is going to suffer."


    Qiu Peng by the side also snickered and said, "Ceng Cheng, I really admire your little brother more and more now. To actually be beaten by this kind of punk. Could he have consumed laxatives when he was exchanging blows with this punk?"


    Ceng Cheng shot a fierce glare at Qiu Peng, but he was really unable to do anything about Qiu Peng. The two of them bickered often. Ceng Cheng calculated that even if he could suppress Qiu Peng, it would be very limited.


    But Ye Yuan looked at Ceng Cheng with an odd expression and asked, "You really want to know how many points I have?"


    "Nonsense! Don''t tell me you really have 100 thousand points? I honor my words. I''ll bet however much you have!" Ceng Cheng said solemnly.


    "Fine then. Look at it yourself." Ye Yuan threw his identity token over with a helpless face.


    Ceng Cheng reached out to receive the token and said with a cold laugh, "Do you think that the sect is owned by your family? You can have as many points as . . ."


    Ceng Cheng''s words halted abruptly as if he was being choked by someone.


    He swallowed hard and used divine sense to inspect it again. His eyes turned into wide circles as he stared at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    "You wanted to see it. I told you to go play by yourself, but you just had to bet points with me. Those meager points of yours are really not appealing to me. If you can gather 100 thousand points, I can give you a chance to bet."


    While Ye Yuan was talking, he took back the token from Ceng Cheng who was motionless like a wood carving and left just like that.


    After walking a few steps, Ye Yuan suddenly turned back and said, "Oh right, there are still around 10 days or so before the sect''s competition. If you''re fortunate enough to bump into me, I don''t mind gifting you defeat. En, free of charge."


    Finishing, he left without even turning back.


    Everyone was perplexed. They did not know what happened to make Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng lose composure like this.


    Qiu Peng was obviously very curious too. He came over and pushed Ceng Cheng. "Hey, what''s with you? Did he really have 100 thousand points?"


    Being pushed by Qiu Peng, Ceng Cheng was startled awake abruptly. He asked with a blank face, "Ah? What did you say?"


    Qiu Peng was speechless. "You''re at any rate about to enter the Heaven Barracks soon. Why are you such a good-for-nothing? What on earth did you see from his token, to be frightened to such an extent? Don''t tell me he really had 100 thousand points? How''s that possible?"


    Ceng Cheng swallowed hard again, feeling that his mouth was very dry.


    Ye Yuan''s points really petrified him.


    1.12 mission points!


    Only those disciples who were impacting the Sea Transformation Realm or Quasi-Alchemy King realm would have so many points by spending many years slogging hard at missions to exchange for the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art and Purple Center Soul Incantation.


    It was impossible for other people, even elders, to have so many points.


    But, how many days did Ye Yuan enter the sect for? Where did his points come from?


    No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. He really had the capital to be unbridled!


    His 30 thousand points were merely just a fractional amount of his. No wonder he turned his nose down on it.


    Ceng Cheng suddenly recalled the level nine mission Ye Yuan received. Could it be that he really needed points? Could it be that Ye Yuan could really complete a level nine mission?


    Thinking up to here, Ceng Cheng could not help shuddering.


    He waved his hands and said, "Nothing, nothing. I''m going."


    Finishing, he left behind the unconvinced crowd and left without even turning his head back.

 Chapter 239: Send Him Packing!

    Chapter 239: Send Him Packing!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A quiet courtyard at the main peak of the Spirit Blessing Mountain.


    This was the residence of Grand Elder Skymaple, the Skymaple Court.


    Ye Yuan rushed straight for the Skymaple Court right after leaving the Support Star Pavilion.


    It looked as if missions for martial artists consumed time and energy, but in reality, alchemy missions similarly consumed time and energy. A refinement mission would often consume large amounts of the Pill Hall disciple''s time and energy.


    Points were not so easy to get.


    Of course, there were basically negligible dangers for Pill Hall disciples to refine pills.


    However, the time and energy expended on these alchemy missions were far from what martial missions consumed.


    Such as this level nine mission that Ye Yuan took on.


    Honestly speaking, this mission was far from as simple and relaxed as imagined. Otherwise, it would not have hung there for 10 years.


    While perfecting incomplete medicinal pills was much easier than developing a type of medicinal pill, the amount of energy involved tended to make people go nuts!


    Just like the current Skymaple.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan heard an earthshaking explosion sound coming from the inner court right when he arrived at the Skymaple Court gate.


    A cauldron exploded.


    With Ye Yuan''s experience, he could distinguish it instantly.


    Skymaple''s face was charred black like he had just crawled out of a coal pile, leaving only two white eyeballs blinking there.


    Opposite him, a youth also looked as if he crawled out from a coal pile.


    These two people just experienced a cauldron explosion.


    "Your Father doesn''t believe it! Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, Your Father will fight it out with you! Wang Jie, prepare the ingredients! Let''s refine another furnace of Seven Profound Soul Driving Pills!" Skymaple said shakily to the youth with a black face.


    Wang Jie was the final disciple that Skymaple took in. His age was similar to Mo Yuntian''s, but he already had a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster cultivation!


    A high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster was a force that could not be overlooked even when placed within the sect. But in front of Skymaple, he was only enough to play the role of an assistant.


    Hearing Skymaple''s stubborn temper flare up again, Wang Jie could not help giving a bitter smile as he said, "Master, this is already the fourth cauldron explosion in this month! Shouldn''t we tabulate to see if the ingredients used to fill in the gaps are correct? After all, the collection of these Tier 4 ingredients also expended quite a bit of energy!"


    Those striking white eyeballs of Skymaple''s stared at his disciple as he said sulkily, "Are you the master, or am I the master? I asked you to prepare the ingredients, so just do it! What''s with all the bullsh*t! I dare to guarantee that the ingredients used to complete it this time is definitely correct! This elderly self has studied the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill for over a dozen years, and finally, I had a flash of inspiration a year ago and thought of using the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to complete the pill formula! This time, either I succeed or die!"


    Wang Jie said with an anguished face, "Of course you''re the master! I''ll go prepare the ingredients, okay?"


    "Humph! Feeling wronged? This old man took you in as my last disciple in hopes that you would be different from that bunch of blockheads. Now, it looks like you''re not much different from them! I hung the mission there for 10 years, but the things they researched is becoming increasingly out in left field. Really angering old me to death!" Skymaple said furiously.


    Wang Jie was an honest-looking boy and was also used to getting scolded by Skymaple, so he naturally did not dare to rebuke.


    Just as he was leaving to prepare the ingredients, a sound came from outside, informing of a disciple''s visit.


    "Informing Grand Elder, there''s a disciple outside seeking an interview. He''s holding a mission jade slip in his hands, saying that he took the level nine No.3 mission that you hung in the Support Star Pavilion."


    Skymaple''s eyes lit up. He pulled open the refining room''s door but scared that gatekeeping disciple.


    But Skymaple could not be bothered with so much. He grabbed that disciple''s arm and asked, "There''s really someone who accepted the mission? Who''s the person that came? Reliable or not?"


    This level nine mission was still very popular in the beginning, but later on, the disciples and elders discovered that this was an impossible task, so they gradually gave up too.


    Subsequently, there were lesser and fewer people asking for this mission. All the way until five years ago, where nobody touched this mission anymore.


    Now that he heard somebody took on this mission, he was naturally exuberant!


    Taking this mission after five years meant that there was somebody who overcame this difficult barrier and succeeded in completing the pill formula!


    How could this not agitate Skymaple?


    The gatekeeping disciple was grabbed by Skymaple till it hurt, but he did not dare to squeak.


    "Replying Grand Elder, the one who came is a young man. Looks like he had just entered the sect recently. I see that he''s only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and wearing Martial Hall disciple outfit, but a low-rank Alchemy Master badge is hanging on his chest."


    The gatekeeping disciple spilled out everything that he saw. As for whether it was reliable or not, that would be up to the grand elder to determine.


    The way the gatekeeping disciple saw it, it was obviously unreliable!


    Indeed, with every sentence from the disciple, Skymaple''s face would darken a shade. By the time he said the last sentence, Skymaple was already about to storm off.


    However, his face was currently completely pitch-black. No matter how much darker his expression got, it was already impossible to tell.


    Skymaple suddenly raised his hands and tossed, throwing that gatekeeping disciple out far away.


    "Do you have a pig''s brain? This kind of rookie took the mission, and you also come and report to me? Make him scram back directly! You go back right now and send him packing with a flurry of sticks! Come and bother me again, and I''ll demote you to do a year''s worth of chores!" Skymaple virtually shouted these words at the top of his voice.


    Finishing, the gatekeeping disciple only heard a bang. The refining room''s door was shut again.


    Ye Yuan was presently looking forward to it, but when he saw the disciple come back with a dirt-covered face, he suddenly had a bad premonition.


    Indeed, when that gatekeeping disciple saw Ye Yuan, he waved his hands angrily and said, "Quickly leave, quickly leave! I say, what are you joining in the fun for? You caused me to be scolded by Grand Elder! You also don''t size yourself up before daring to accept a level nine mission. Can you, a low-rank Alchemy Master, settle a Tier 4 medicinal pill?"


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded and said, "This Senior Apprentice Brother, can I trouble you to pass the word again? I can really complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula!"


    The gatekeeping disciple was currently down in the dumps, how could he listen?


    "Go, go, go! What are you still being pesky here for? Grand Elder Skymaple told me to send you packing with sticks. I already showed mercy. If you don''t leave, I''m really going to be impolite!"


    This gatekeeping disciple was at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm and simply did not place Ye Yuan in his sights.


    At first, he did not get cussed at by Skymaple, so he was still easier to talk to. Now, he did not even wish to respond to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not think that this kind of situation would occur either. He brought along the pill formula but could not even enter the other party''s gates.


    However, he did not stoop to this gatekeeping disciple''s level. He gave a flattering smile and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, as long as you help me pass along a sentence to Grand Elder, he''ll definitely meet me."


    "Grand Elder already said not seeing means not seeing! What''s there to pass along? If you don''t leave, then I''m really not going to be courteous!" The gatekeeping disciple''s patience also reached its limits.


    Ye Yuan sighed and clasped his hands, saying, "Since that''s the case, Ye Yuan is going to offend you!"


    Finishing, Ye Yuan displayed the Spirit Void Shattering Space, drifting past the gatekeeping disciple''s body like a draft of a gentle breeze.


    By the time the gatekeeping disciple reacted, it was already too late. Ye Yuan was already a thousand feet away.


    The gatekeeping disciple was taken aback. If the grand elder were to know that somebody barged into the Skymaple Court, him doing a year of chores would be set!


    Thinking up to this point, he swiftly used his movement technique to chase after Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 240: Bad Tempered

    Chapter 240: Bad Tempered


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Two figures moved at high speeds in the Skymaple Court, one behind the other. But the distance between the two did not shrink from start to finish,


    Ye Yuan used sound to gauge the location. He knew where the refining room was from that cauldron exploding sound earlier.


    Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at the place. The gatekeeping disciple also followed tightly.


    The gatekeeping disciple was panting from exhaustion. Just now, he used all of his skills but was actually unable to reduce the distance between the two of them. Instead, he tired himself out.


    But he saw that Ye Yuan was composed and actually did not look the slightest bit exhausted.


    Was this boy really only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm?


    Without waiting for him to recover from his astonishment, Ye Yuan gathered up essence energy and shouted loudly, "Grand Elder Skymaple, disciple Ye Yuan accepted the level nine No. 3 mission, and specially came forth to complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula."


    The voice spread out like rolling thunder. The gatekeeping disciple turned pale from alarm and thought to himself, I''m finished this time!


    With a bang, the door opened. Skymaple walked in front of Ye Yuan with a black face.


    "Didn''t I tell you to make him get lost? You actually dare to let him in here?!" Skymaple was speaking to the gatekeeping disciple instead.


    The gatekeeping disciple had immeasurable bitterness in his heart as he said, "Grand Elder, this . . . this punk''s movement technique is extremely fast. I looked away for a second and he . . . and he . . ."


    "Humph! You, a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm, can''t even deal with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. What do I want you for? Alright, the two of you can get lost together now. Go and collect punishment yourselves."


    Finishing, Skymaple turned around and was ready to leave without even bothering to look at Ye Yuan. Evidently, the people getting punishment also included Ye Yuan.


    He did not feel that a low-rank Alchemy Master could help him in any way. He was purely here to cause trouble.


    Ye Yuan''s nose twitched, and he said softly, "Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, Clear Spirit Jade Fluid, Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass . . . , using Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to fill the void in the pill formula is indeed quite interesting, but . . ."


    Ye Yuan listed out all the ingredients that Skymaple used to refine the pill. But he shut his mouth after he talked halfway.


    Skymaple just took two steps when he heard Ye Yuan report the ingredients without a single mistake. He could not help feeling very amazed in his heart.


    The ingredients were all inside. It absolutely could not be seen from here. Could this brat really have studied the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill before?


    Forget about the other ingredients, his mission had already been hanging there for a relatively long time. As long as Ye Yuan enquired diligently, he could get the information.


    But the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit was something he came up with only in the recent year. Apart from the sect upper echelons and Wang Jie, it was simply impossible for others to know.


    How did this boy know?


    Also, he said quite interesting . . . Quite interesting? There seemed to be an underlying meaning in his words!


    Skymaple turned around and asked Ye Yuan, "But what?"


    Ye Yuan smiled. "Nothing. This disciple should go and collect punishment now. Goodbye, Grand Elder."


    Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    Skymaple''s face went black, and he said, "Halt! Aiyo, you, boy, have quite a big temper, to actually put on airs with this seat!"


    "This disciple dare not. I was just talking nonsense earlier. Just pretend you didn''t hear it, Grand Elder," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Haha! Nice temperament! If this seat insists on making you say?" Skymaple''s face fell.


    "I''ll talk bullshit. At that time, it wouldn''t be as simple as a cauldron explosion." Ye Yuan remained very calm and was not frightened by Skymaple''s aura.


    "Oh, even threatening this seat! Haha, this child is interesting! With this seat''s level, don''t tell me I don''t even have this bit of ability to screen it?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan ''swords, Skymaple relaxed instead. He had not encountered such a ballsy junior in many years already. Even Luo Qingfeng did not dare to be so audacious in front of him.


    In terms of seniority, Skymaple was Luo Qingfeng''s martial uncle!


    But Ye Yuan just said two words, "Maybe not."


    "Oh? Then try talking bullshit and see if I can distinguish the thing that is even more incredible than a cauldron explosion," Skymaple said.


    "Still the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, Clear Spirit Jade Fluid, Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass, but lower the quantity of the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid to 80%. For the supplementary ingredients, swap the Swordtooth Grass for the Western Flower. How do you feel about this formula?"


    Skymaple''s eyes lit up. Smacking a fist on his palm, he said excitedly, "Oh yeah, why didn''t I think of that? Western Flower can better unleash the efficacy of the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit. Wouldn''t the success rate be higher like this?"


    As he was talking, Skymaple shot Ye Yuan a glance. When he saw the latter''s teasing smile on his face, he suddenly understood.


    "Could it be . . . this won''t work?" Skymaple asked weakly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Grand Elder can give it a shot. But whether you can escape from the refinement room or not, that will be up to your luck."


    Skymaple''s face changed, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible! According to what you said, it''s clearly much better than the pill formula that I completed. How can problems occur?"


    Ye Yuan was currently just like a systematic and patient teacher, guiding Skymaple to think about the pill formula''s problem.


    But Skymaple thought for a long time and still felt that Ye Yuan''s pill formula was better than his own!


    Or was it that this was the pill formula from the start and Ye Yuan was misleading him? Was he deliberately scaring him?


    "Haha, consider yourself formidable, boy! You must be bluffing this seat, right? This seat won''t fall for it so easily! This is definitely the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula! Not bad, not bad, kid. You''re indeed someone who is capable. This seat solemnly apologizes to you about the matter earlier. I should not have scorned you because of your identity!"


    This Skymaple was a forthright person. Joy and anger showed on his face. At present, the pill formula that Ye Yuan said already thoroughly convinced him. He actually did not hesitate to apologize at all.


    Wang Jie and the gatekeeping disciple by the sides were already dumbfounded. When did Grand Elder Skymaple become so easy to talk to?


    The dignified Grand Elder actually apologized to a newcomer disciple . . .


    Especially Wang Jie. Although he had a good temper, he suffered no little venting under Skymaple''s hands these few years.


    But even Wang Jie had never enjoyed such treatment before!


    How Skymaple treated Wang Jie was without question. It could be said that he gave his all to guide him and took great care of him.


    The only bad thing was that his temper was not good. Wang Jie became a pitiful human sandbag.


    However, even when Skymaple blew up for no reason at all, he had never apologized!


    Ye Yuan looked at the Skymaple who was laughing gleefully and said with a sigh, "I''m not bluffing Grand Elder. If you refine the pill according to this pill formula, forget about this refining room, even this stretch of land will most likely become a wasteland!"


    Skymaple''s laughter stopped abruptly. His expression changed, and he said, "How so?"


    "Grand Elder is only aware of one aspect, but ignorant of the other. While the Western Flower can better unleash the efficacy of the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit, when placed in this pill formula, it would clash with another core material, triggering a huge explosion from there! The explosion of a Tier 4 medicinal pill, even with Grand Elder''s strength, I''m afraid that you''ll also find it hard to retreat unscathed," Ye Yuan explained.


    Skymaple suddenly recalled that the pill formula Ye Yuan altered did not seem to be only one area. Apart from the Western Flower, there was the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid.


    "You''re talking about . . . the Clear Spirit Jade Fluid?" Skymaple probed.

 Chapter 241: Completing the Pill Formula!

    Chapter 241: Completing the Pill Formula!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "By reducing the amount of Clear Spirit Jade Fluid to 80% and adding in the Western Flower plus another kind of supplementary ingredient called Bramble Mustard Tuber, it will produce an extremely terrifyingly huge explosion! This is actually roughly the same logic as creating gunpowder in the secular world."


    Skymaple''s complexion involuntarily changed when he heard that.


    He really had not heard before that these three kinds of materials would cause such an effect when mixed together!


    Even he had not heard this before, how did this boy know?


    Thinking up to here, Skymaple could not help feeling fear. If Ye Yuan really bore a grudge and took revenge, then wouldn''t this place of his be leveled to the ground?


    Although what Ye Yuan said was nonsense, this could not be bullshitted through just by saying nonsense. If one were not highly proficient in medicinal knowledge, talking nonsense would not be able to hold water.


    Regardless of how this boy knew all these, he could not be underestimated!


    Thinking up to here, Skymaple promptly put away his contempt and asked seriously, "What''s your name?"


    "This disciple is Ye Yuan."


    "Ye Yuan, this seat apologizes to you solemnly for the matter just now! Seeing as this seat is already an old man, how about you don''t be too particular?"


    Skymaple already said things to such an extent. Ye Yuan naturally would not nitpick at it again.


    However, he had a pretty good impression of this Skymaple. He could advance and retreat.


    Not everyone would apologize so solemnly to disciples from the junior generation. It was truly not easy for Skymaple to be able to do this.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow to Skymaple and said, "This Disciple dare not. I hope that Grand Elder won''t take to heart any offenses just now."


    Skymaple chuckled and waved his hands, saying, "Take to heart what? As long as you can complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, you can even take a piss on top of this seat''s head! Come, please enter. Let''s talk inside!"


    The pair were just about to take a step when the gatekeeping disciple asked weakly, "G-Grand Elder, I . . ."


    Skymaple''s present mood was excellent. He flicked his sleeves and said, "You''ve rendered meritorious service and have no blame. Continue staying then! Guard the court gate well and don''t let anybody in!"


    The gatekeeping disciple was overjoyed. "Thank you, Grand Elder! Disciple will definitely guard the gate well!"


    . . . . . .


    In the side hall, Skymaple and Ye Yuan sat down as host and guest.


    This was already exceptionally courteous reception to Ye Yuan. In front of Skymaple, disciples only had the right to stand, not sit. Only hall head level had the qualifications to sit down and talk when they came. Even the elders could not!


    Behind Skymaple, Wang Jie kept sizing up Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with curiosity.


    He had followed Skymaple for a number of years already and was deeply aware of the difficulty of completing the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill.


    Wang Jie knew that there had already been no fewer than several hundred seniors and elders who took on this mission. These hundreds of people were all elites of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but no one could complete the mission.


    But this Young Master not over the age of 16 could fill in the pill formula.


    It was truly miraculous!


    Ye Yuan sensed Wang Jie''s gaze and flashed a smile at him. Wang Jie also flashed one back.


    "Ye Yuan, what did the ''but'' you said earlier mean? Could it be that using the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to complete the pill formula doesn''t work either?" Skymaple asked again.


    He was very confident in the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit. It should be said that this was the closest to success he had come to in these over dozen years. But Ye Yuan''s words unwittingly make his heart palpitate.


    Ye Yuan said, "Although the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit has the effects of nourishing the divine soul, it''s unsuitable to be mixed together and refined with the Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass. The Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit''s attribute is metal, while the Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass''s attribute is wood. Metal and wood inhibit each other. Not only would the effects of the ingredients themselves fail to be unleashed, but it would also weaken instead. Furthermore, it will be tremendously difficult to control the stability of the three kinds of core materials during the refining process. If my estimations are right, Grand Elder has probably blown up cauldrons quite a number of times already, right?"


    Skymaple''s old face turned red. Ye Yuan really guessed it correctly.


    However, he still asked in surprise, "Isn''t the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit''s attribute is wood? Why is it metal?"


    The attributes of all things in the world were incomparably complex and were not written on the surface. Unless one were extremely proficient towards medical knowledge, one would tend to find it hard to determine a certain medicinal material''s attribute.


    The higher level the medicinal material, the harder it was to determine the attribute. Because the process of their derivation was extremely complicated.


    Tier 4 materials were not high nor low level. But to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s alchemists, it was absolutely high level medicinal materials. With their level of understanding, it was very tough to determine Tier 4 materials'' attribute.


    Hence, when Skymaple was choosing materials, he basically could not take into consideration the materials'' attributes. He only relied on his instincts to decide. Hence, the error rate was naturally very high.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not all the things that grow on trees belong to the wood attribute. The reason why the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit is of the metal attribute is that it generally grows on top of ore veins, drawing the metal spiritual qi within to form the fruit. Even though the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit also has some wood attribute characteristics, its primary attribute is metal."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s analysis, Skymaple actually had a feeling like he was enlightened all at once! His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again was drastically different from before.


    Skymaple was naturally well aware of the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit''s origin. It was precisely obtained by sect disciples from an ore vein, not the slightest bit off from Ye Yuan''s analysis!


    Such knowledge, even he, a grand elder, felt that he was so far behind to even see the dust ahead.


    "Then how should this pill formula be completed?" Skymaple''s words already entailed consulting advice. Even he himself was not conscious of it.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not cherish something of little value just because it was his own knowledge. He opened his mouth and said, "Clear Spirit Jade Fluid is balanced in the five elements, so it is a neutral item. The Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass''s attribute is wood, so you naturally have to select a water attribute material to complete the pill formula. Among Tier 4 medicinal materials, the Iceheart Dew is most suitable."


    "Ah? Why use the Iceheart Dew? Iceheart Drew shouldn''t have divine soul nourishing effects, right?" Skymaple had a doubtful face.


    This past dozen of years, he thought of every material and used them too. The only exception was that he did not think of using the Iceheart Dew to complete the pill formula!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Clear Spirit Jade Fluid and Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass are both medicinal herbs that have superb effects when used to nourish the divine soul. Just take the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill for instance; the divine soul nourishing effects are already ample. But the Iceheart Dew has the effect of calming the spirit and focusing the mind, and also the effect of stabilizing the divine soul. Moreover, during the refining process, the water attribute Iceheart Dew even has the usage of improving the wood attribute Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass. There is nothing more suitable than it for refining the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill!"


    Once alchemy skills reached a certain level, one''s understanding of medicinal pills would also grow increasingly profound.


    At times, while blindly chasing the medicinal effect of a medicinal pill, it would instead cause an opposite effect.


    Ye Yuan''s understanding of medicinal pills was far from what Skymaple could compare to.


    The way Ye Yuan saw it, a medicinal pill was a world. Refining a medicinal pill was creating a world!


    For a mature world, the most important thing was stability. Then, other things would follow.


    Many alchemists chased after the effects of medicinal pills blindly. The result of doing this were flaws in the medicinal pills. There would obviously be side-effects here and there.


    A mature type of medicinal pill would definitely not have any side-effect!


    In reality, with Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills, he could guide Skymaple to use the Extreme Light Profound Gold Fruit to refine out the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, but that kind of medicinal pill would clearly have side-effects.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say finish, Skymaple and Wang Jie behind him sunk into their thoughts . . .

 Chapter 242: An Alchemy Emperor’s Guidance

    Chapter 242: An Alchemy Emperor��s Guidance


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Skymaple''s eyes grew brighter and brighter.


    Unlike the other elders, he was a genuine Alchemy King! A Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    His experience was naturally extraordinary!


    Skymaple actually felt that the materials he used in the past to complete the pill formula were all trash.


    Although he had not started refining, Skymaple already felt that using Iceheart Dew would certainly work!


    Because he simply could not find any flaws in this pill formula!


    Those materials that he found in the past, while he was full of confidence each time, he himself actually knew that there was always that slight area of imperfection.


    But this time, he felt that this pill formula was absolutely perfect!


    Skymaple currently had an impulse to burst into a song and dance. Over a dozen years of racking his brain bitterly, over a dozen years of repeated defeats, over a dozen years of wallowing in despair, he obtained a release at this very instant.


    If not for wanting to preserve some parts of a grand elder''s prestige and because he did not wish to lose himself too much in front of Ye Yuan, he would have started dancing around right away.


    This was not enough to express his emotions.


    "Wang Jie, you quickly go and ask Ouyang Yu if there is still Iceheart Dew in the sect! If there isn''t, make them gather it at top speed! Remember, it must be at the fastest speed! I must see the Iceheart Dew within a month!" Skymaple hurriedly instructed.


    Wang Jie also had an eye-opener today. Ye Yuan''s words gave him a feeling of being enlightened.


    In reality, while Wang Jie had a gentle character, he also had pride that others did not possess.


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he was among those true Alchemy Path geniuses. Otherwise, he would not have been fancied by Skymaple and become his disciple.


    Wang Jie had always thought highly of himself. He felt that his accomplishments on the alchemy path were already absolutely outstanding among people of the same age.


    But Ye Yuan''s words today opened another window for him.


    Wang Jie only knew today just how unstable his foundation skills were and how shallow his previous understanding of medicinal knowledge was!


    Hearing Skymaple''s orders, Wang Jie said respectfully, "Yes, Master."


    Logically speaking, running errands should be done by Ye Yuan. Ignoring that Wang Jie''s seniority was exceedingly high, even with his Alchemy Grandmaster status, it should not be his turn to run errands.


    But at this current moment, Wang Jie gladly enjoyed the hardship and felt that it was only natural and right.


    To the Skymaple Court, Ye Yuan was a distinguished guest. How could they let a distinguished guest run errands?


    After Wang Jie left, Skymaple started to consult Ye Yuan like a student on how to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill.


    Refining pills were not just the simple act of putting together medicinal herbs. Each type of medicinal herbs, its quantity, flame intensity when refining, and so on, were all extremely particular things.


    A discrepancy of a hair''s breadth could lead to an error of a thousand miles!


    Messing up a step could possibly result in the refinement to fail.


    Alchemists was an exceptionally meticulous occupation. The path they walk was completely different from martial artists.


    Yet, the more he chatted with Ye Yuan, the more Skymaple felt his blood run cold. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan also changed once more.


    If one were to say that the first time he saw Ye Yuan, he was looking at him with a disdainful angle, then after Ye Yuan talked about the Western Flower recipe, it became viewing him as equals.


    But now, Skymaple was looking up to Ye Yuan!


    Although they were only chatting about one type of medicinal pill, Ye Yuan''s views tended to give Skymaple a feeling that he could grasp the entire concept by grasping a typical example.


    Not knowing the reason, just one chat and Skymaple felt that his alchemy skills improved quite a bit!


    Many things that Ye Yuan talked about, Skymaple did not even think about them in the past.


    Especially when Ye Yuan was talking about the refinement method. Skymaple frequently had the feeling that medicinal pills could even be refined in such a way.


    The incomplete pill formula of this Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill was accidentally acquired by Forefather Ouyang Tuotian. Even he could not complete it. The missing parts in the pill formula were not just one core material. The refinement method was missing too.


    Many of Skymaple''s past refinement methods were fumbled out by himself. Cauldron explosions were naturally something to be expected.


    "Ye Yuan, did you research and come up with this pill formula yourself?" After a long while, Skymaple finally asked the suspicion in his heart.


    This Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula was something that even their forefather could not complete. If Ye Yuan could come up with it himself, then this alchemic talent was overly heaven-defying.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not say that he already knew this pill formula from the start. Of course, even if he did not know, completing it was not something hard.


    "Of course not. Actually, before entering the sect, I already had a master. This pill formula was imparted to me by him. When I was searching for missions in the Support Star Pavilion, I just happened to see the level nine No. 3 mission, so I accepted it," Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Skymaple breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. It seemed like Ye Yuan''s monstrousness was still within the boundaries of understanding. Even so, from Ye Yuan''s conversation, it could be seen that his alchemy skill foundation was extremely solid!


    However, Skymaple developed an intense curiosity towards such master who could train such an incredible disciple.


    The way Skymaple saw it, that person was definitely an existence more amazing than him. He might even be an Alchemy Sovereign!


    Ye Yuan recounted the fabricated story again before Skymaple dismissed that idea of requesting an audience.


    Skymaple obviously did not know that while he was unaware, he had already spoken to a former Alchemy Emperor.


    Even if Ye Yuan could not refine out high-tier medicinal pills now, his experience and knowledge were simply not on the same level as Skymaple''s.


    Ye Yuan looked as if he was conversing with Skymaple, but in reality, it could be counted giving pointers to him.


    Being able to obtain some pointers from an Alchemy Emperor was enough for Skymaple to profit from his entire life. Because it was impossible for Skymaple to even see Ye Yuan''s shadow in this lifetime.


    In his previous life, there had been countless Alchemy Ancestors, Alchemy Saints, even Alchemy Venerables who sought for Ye Yuan''s guidance but did not even had the chance. An Alchemy King like Skymaple did not even have the qualifications to present himself in front of him.


    Not that Ye Yuan valued his old broomstick, but because he really did not wish to waste time in this area. 1


    The reason why Ye Yuan was so generous was actually still because of his promise to Lu Yan last time.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that Skymaple should be the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s greatest expert in the Alchemy Dao. For him to have any breakthrough naturally brought enormous benefits to the entire sect.


    The use of the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill was to aid the divine soul in breaking through.


    At Skymaple''s age, he basically already exhausted all of his potentials. Under the circumstances without the use of external force, he would essentially just stop at his present realm in this lifetime.


    Skymaple himself was already clear on this point. That was why he placed all of his energy on the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill.


    Whether the power of the sect was strong or not, it had never been about the number of disciples, history, or accumulation. The deciding factor was the sect''s most powerful member!


    A sect that possessed a middle-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artist would be stronger than a sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Furthermore, it would be overwhelmingly stronger!


    If they did not have the protection of the sect protecting grand array, a middle-stage Soul Sea Realm could take on the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect by himself!


    Once martial artists cultivated to a certain realm, human piling tactics would no longer be able to compensate for the gap.


    The more Skymaple conversed, the more he opportunistic he became. The more he conversed, the greater his thirst for knowledge was. But Ye Yuan controlled the limits very well, conversing with the other party with the attitude of being equals, not letting Skymaple feel like he was giving pointers.


    With his master as the backing entity, Ye Yuan''s conversation did not appear too unexpected.


    Before long, Wang Jie barged in very excitedly . . .

 Chapter 243: Selling Pill Formula

    Chapter 243: Selling Pill Formula


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seeing Wang Jie barge inside directly, Skymaple frowned and said unhappily, "Already so mature, yet why are you still so brash? Don''t you see that Ye Yuan and I are currently conversing?"


    Unknowingly, Skymaple already placed Ye Yuan on the same level as him.


    "Ah! Sorry Master. Disciple was rash," Wang Jie hurriedly apologized with a salute.


    Skymaple waved his hands irritably and asked, "What is it? Why are you making such a fuss?"


    Wang Jie had an eager face as he said, "Replying master, just now, I went to find Lord Sect Master. He said that a few days back, some disciples just happened to obtain some Iceheart Dew. So I brought it back."


    When Skymaple heard it, his anger involuntarily turned into joy as he said, "Really? Great! Since all the ingredients are prepared, then let''s start refining!"


    He had just learned many things from Ye Yuan and was currently itching to practice his skills. In addition, he obtained the pill formula, so he would naturally be itching to have a go.


    "Don''t be anxious, Master. I haven''t finished talking yet. There isn''t much Iceheart Dew. According to what Ye Yuan said, it should only be enough for one refinement," Wang Jie said.


    Skymaple frowned and said, "So little? How is it possible to succeed in one go?"


    Wang Jie said, "Iceheart Dew is originally extremely scarce. It was only coincidentally obtained this time by an elite disciple out doing missions. He exchanged 10 thousand points by handing it to the sect! Even if the sect seeks it out in full force, it would probably be very hard to find within three months."


    As the grand elder, how could Skymaple not know the scarcity of Tier 4 medicinal herbs?


    However, he yearned for the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill too deeply. Even if the material was harder to get, he had to obtain it!


    This was not just to fulfill him alone, but also to fulfill the entire sect!


    The materials that Skymaple exhausted these few years were worth upwards of 10 million points when added up. But Luo Qingfeng did not grumble at all. Why?


    Simply because back then, Ouyang Tuotian founded the present Tranquil Cloud Sect with his own strength!


    The sect''s upper echelons all understood the difference between low-rank Alchemy King and middle-rank Alchemy King!


    Hearing Wang Jie''s words, Skymaple''s good mood instantly vanished, and his heart inexplicably became frustrated.


    Although the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill was a low Tier 4 medicinal pill, it was really somewhat forceful for Skymaple. The possibility of succeeding in one go was too low!


    Once he failed, he would have to wait up to three months, maybe even half a year''s time!


    The Clear Spirit Jade Fluid and Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass collected the previous time were already pretty much expended. At most, he could refine once or twice.


    If the refinement this time failed, he would have to gather these two kinds of medicinal herbs again.


    The Clear Spirit Jade Fluid and Nine-leaf Heavenly Fragrance Grass were also Tier 3 medicinal herbs; similarly, they were very rare.


    Who knew how long he would have to wait to refine again.


    Thinking up to here, Skymaple''s brows knitted together even tighter. Pressure engulfed him like it blotted out the skies and land.


    For over a dozen years, Skymaple virtually did not inquire about sect affairs and put his heart and soul on the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. But he kept being unable to obtain a breakthrough.


    Although Luo Qingfeng and the other sect upper echelons did not say anything, the pressure on Skymaple was also enormous. Otherwise, he would not be so hot-tempered either.


    Skymaple only felt that the bottle containing the Iceheart Dew weighed 30 thousand catties when he took it over from Wang Jie''s hands.


    He returned to his seat and started to waver.


    Ye Yuan saw through Skymaple''s state of mind and said, "Grand Elder, I have a suggestion. While this can''t guarantee that you''ll definitely refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, it should raise the success rate considerably."


    Skymaple was currently dejected. When he heard Ye Yuan''s words, he nearly jumped up. He stared at Ye Yuan intently and asked, "What method? As long as I can refine out the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, I''ll add in 200 thousand more points!"


    These words were simply heavenly melody to Skymaple.


    Ye Yuan knew the advantages of points, so he obviously would not reject.


    In truth, him completing the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula was already considered completing the mission. With just a message from Skymaple, he could get the reward already.


    However, he already did it to this extent already. Might as well help him to the end.


    "When Master imparted me the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula, he even told me about another Quasi-Tier 4 pill formula. This kind of medicinal pill is called Soul Driving Pill. Master said that the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill was the upgraded version of the Soul Driving Pill. The two originated from the same source. The refinement method is also extremely similar. The refinement of the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill is much more complex than the Soul Driving Pill, but the essence is pretty much the same. If Grand Elder can use the Soul Driving Pill to practice and familiarize yourself with the refinement method, refining the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill after should be much easier," Ye Yuan said.


    Skymaple trembled agitatedly when he heard this. "Excellent! Truly excellent! There''s really such a medicinal pill?"


    Martial Path medicinal pills were easy to find, but Alchemy Path medicinal pills were hard to obtain!


    There were actually very, very few medicinal pills that affected the divine soul. It was like a single hair from nine oxen when compared to martial path medicinal pills.


    Back then, Ouyang Tuotian also coincidentally obtained the incomplete Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula. Skymaple naturally had not heard about the Soul Driving Pill before.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "How would I dare to deceive Grand Elder? Although the herbs to refine the Soul Driving Pill are also rare, with the sect''s strength, I think there should be some in stock. It should be enough for Grand Elder to use for practice."


    "Quickly tell me the pill formula! I''ll let Wang Jie go retrieve the herbs!" Skymaple said impatiently.


    After he said that, Skymaple suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. He involuntarily smacked his head and said awkwardly, "Haha, take a look at this old muddle-head! Even if it''s a Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, this pill formula is also a priceless treasure! Ye Yuan, what requests do you have? Just state them. I''ll do all I can to recompense you! En . . . Is one million points enough? Just take it as the sect is buying your pill formula! Uh . . . Will your master mind?"


    Skymaple started to worry about personal gains and losses. Pill formulas were always undisclosable secrets to any influence.


    Especially medicinal pills that raised soul force. They were even more so priceless treasures!


    While the grade of the Soul Driving Pill was not as high as the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, its value was even greater to the Tranquil Cloud Sect instead!


    Even if Ye Yuan completed the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula, how many people in the Tranquil Cloud Sect could afford to enjoy it?


    There was only Skymaple, that one Alchemy King alone!


    But the Soul Driving Pill was different!


    Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills had effects on Sea Transformation Realm Quasi-Alchemy Kings. The Tranquil Cloud Sect acquiring this pill formula was equivalent to alchemists realms collectively rising a rank!


    Such trade was too worthwhile to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    If not for being fearful of the ''master'' behind Ye Yuan, once Ye Yuan rejected, he might even give birth to the idea of forcefully snatching.


    One million points to buy the Soul Driving Pill formula was really not considered much.


    A Quasi-Tier 4 pill formula was no big deal to Ye Yuan. Since he opened his mouth, he was obviously prepared to give it to Skymaple.


    "Master let me enter the secular world to test myself. He said that everything is up to me. He naturally would not mind. But the Soul Driving Pill formula is indeed precious, so I''ll accept Grand Elder''s one million points. In the future, when Master asks about it, I can also explain."


    Ye Yuan obtained many benefits from the sect too. His Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art emerged from the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. There was no harm in treating this pill formula as giving a plum in return for a peach. It was just to not make Skymaple feel that he was indifferent that he accepted the one million points.

    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Inside Skymaple''s refining room was a mess.


    From yesterday until now, Skymaple had already refined over a dozen cauldrons of Soul Driving Pills.


    In the end, he was an Alchemy King. It was still very quick for him to get started on refining Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. After wasting four sets of materials, Skymaple finally refined the Soul Driving Pill.


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s pointers could not be understated at all.


    Refining soul force medicinal pills was different from conventional medicinal pills. If he did not have Ye Yuan''s guidance, Skymaple might not even be able to refine a complete Soul Driving Pill after wasting ten portions of materials.


    After four furnaces of medicinal pills, Skymaple failed once or twice again. After 10 furnaces, he basically no longer failed.


    "Grand Elder is indeed worthy of being an Alchemy King. To actually familiarize yourself with the Soul Driving Pill by using only a dozen over sets of materials. With Grand Elder''s present state, the success rate of refining the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill should be above 60%."


    Ye Yuan stealthily slipped in a flatter, but Skymaple''s face went red. "I am a disappointment as an Alchemy King. If not for your master''s refinement method and him passing on all his experience to you, it''s probably unlikely for me to learn it so quickly."


    Ye Yuan giving pointers by the side was naturally borrowing the name of his fictional master.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not give any explanation. Instead, he said, "Strike while the iron is hot. Grand Elder, consume medicinal pills to recover your strength first. Let''s succeed in refining the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill in one go while the sensation is still there!"


    Initially, Skymaple was still full of confidence. But when he heard about refining the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, he could not help faltering again.


    "Refine it now? But there''s only one set of materials. Why not familiarize more with the Soul Driving Pill?"


    Where was there still any majesty of a grand elder for Skymaple now? Rather, he was like a little kid worried about whether or not he could get to eat candy.


    Whether he could refine or not, Ye Yuan naturally had the best say in this matter.


    "Grand Elder is already very well-versed in the Soul Driving Pill, and you''ve also passed the period where you experience the greatest increase. Continuing to refine will not bring any notable effect. Rather, you''ve just finished refining over a dozen cauldrons of Soul Driving Pill and are currently in a state where your hands are hot and ready to go. Once you rest, I''m afraid that it will be very hard to find this sort of feeling again. Therefore, I feel that it''s still better to refine now," Ye Yuan advised.


    Skymaple felt at a loss for a while when he heard that. He became determined in spite of himself and said, "It''s a blade whether I poke my head out or shrink back! Do it!"


    Immediately, Skymaple swallowed several medicinal pills and began to meditate to adjust himself.


    If this were before, Skymaple absolutely would not listen and follow the words of a junior like so. But these two days, Ye Yuan already subdued him with his broad and profound knowledge.


    Even with Ye Yuan pretending to borrow his master''s words to say most of the things, that gleam of brilliance revealed within the words could be sensed intensely by Skymaple!


    The master was very powerful. The disciple was similarly very formidable!


    . . . . . .


    After four hours, Skymaple adjusted his condition to its peak.


    To have become the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sole Alchemy King, there was no questioning of Skymaple''s mind and determination.


    Since he was already resolved to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, Skymaple would not be timid anymore.


    Wang Jie already prepared the materials. Ye Yuan took the initiative to take on the role of assistant. Wang Jie became idle instead.


    Preparation work was similarly very important to refining pills. Not that Ye Yuan looked down on Wang Jie, it was just that with him doing the preparatory work, the success rate would clearly be higher.


    The preparation work was not limited by realm. Ye Yuan performed it with high proficiency.


    Ye Yuan''s hand grabbing refinement method astounded these two people too. Seeing that virtually perfect medicinal embryo, Skymaple''s eyes went wide.


    Indeed, an outstanding disciple comes from an accomplished master! Skymaple thought to himself.


    Placing the medicinal embryo into the medicinal cauldron, a mass of fire floated from Skymaple''s palm and lit the medicinal cauldron.


    "Ganwu True Fire!" Ye Yuan said the name of the flame.


    "Haha, I didn''t think that you would even know the Ganwu True Fire. That''s right. Under my nurturing, the Ganwu True Fire is already about to advance to a Tier 4 essence fire!" Skymaple said rather pleased with himself.


    "Uh . . . Grand Elder better use my essence fire. This way, your chances will be greater." Ye Yuan said rather oddly.


    "Oh? You actually have an essence fire too? Looks like your fortune really isn''t shallow! However, it''s still better to use essence fires that you nurtured yourself when refining pills. You should know this point, right?"


    This was already Skymaple taking into consideration Ye Yuan''s face. He was somewhat perplexed. It was impossible for Ye Yuan to not even know this bit of general knowledge. Why did he still raise such a request?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s essence fire was even better than his? How was this possible? He was only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. To have a Tier 2 essence fire was already considered immensely fortuitous.


    Ye Yuan did not let him wonder for long. He nodded and said, "Of course I know that. But the chances should be better by using my essence fire to refine."


    Ye Yuan repeated again as a bundle of flames appeared in his palm too.


    When Skymaple saw that bundle of faint-yellow flames, he sucked in a cold breath. Wang Jie by the side clearly recognized Ye Yuan''s essence fire too, his eyes full of envy!


    "Hiss . . . Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! This . . . This . . . How''s this possible?" Skymaple stuttered.


    "Hur hur, when this disciple took part in the Endless Trials at the Dan Wu Academy, I happened to chance upon some lucky chances," Ye Yuan explained it lightly.


    Not that Ye Yuan wanted to show off, but because if Skymaple used a Tier 4 essence fire to refine, the success rate would clearly be greater.


    Ye Yuan knew that Skymaple had an essence fire. He thought that if it were a Tier 4 essence fire, then he would not mention this. The result was that Skymaple''s essence fire was indeed not Tier 4.


    If Skymaple had a Tier 4 essence fire, using Ye Yuan''s essence fire would really be inferior to the one he nurtured himself. But as for Tier 3 . . . the grade was really kind of lousy, let alone comparing to the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame which was suited for alchemy.


    Skymaple looked at the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame within Ye Yuan''s palm dimly for a long time before letting out a sigh and saying, "Comparing people to people is indeed odious! Back then, I risked my old life before I gained the Ganwu True Fire at the Sea Transformation Realm. You''re only at the Spirit Condensation Realm and actually already have the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. This is the paramount dream essence fire for alchemists!"


    Finishing Skymaple quietly kept away the Ganwu True Fire in his palm. It was evident that he did not plan on taking it out to show his inadequacy.


    Ye Yuan kept staring at Skymaple''s eyes. If his heart gave birth to greed, then Ye Yuan and the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s fate would end here.


    Fortunately, Skymaple did not disappoint him.


    The matter of Ye Yuan possessing the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was actually already known by Yao Qian long ago. It was only a matter of time before it reached Skymaple''s ears. Hence, Ye Yuan had no reservations about taking it out.


    Tranquil Cloud Sect''s rules stated that all the natural treasures obtained by disciples outside belonged to them. Others may not insist on it. If they had no use for it, they could hand it over to the sect to exchange for points.


    If a sect wantonly seized disciples'' lucky chances, it was no different from killing the chicken to retrieve the egg. Then, the sect would not be far from destruction anymore.


    "Haha, this disciple also faced near-certain death to acquire the essence fire. It was just a lucky coincidence. Grand Elder, let''s begin?" Ye Yuan brushed over it.


    Skymaple nodded and calmed his mind.


    Ye Yuan called out the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s main body and used the main body to light the medicinal cauldron. Skymaple began to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill.

 Chapter 245: Pill Hall Vice Hall Head!

    Chapter 245: Pill Hall Vice Hall Head!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The refinement of the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill was relatively smooth!


    Ye Yuan already prepared everything to help Skymaple refine this medicinal pills. He even threw in the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame.


    If Skymaple still could not refine it like this, then this Alchemy King should just find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    When Skymaple held the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill in his hands, he trembled agitatedly and almost slipped and dropped the pill on the floor.


    "Hahaha . . . I finally refined the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill! Truly the heaven is protecting me, Skymaple. The heaven is protecting my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    While Skymaple was talking, the flesh on his face was quivering.


    For the past years, all of Skymaple''s energy was placed on this medicinal pill, but it was all to no avail.


    Skymaple naturally understood at present that if Ye Yuan had not appeared, the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill definitely could not be refined, and he would also fail to take a single inch forward in this lifetime!


    Now that the medicinal pill was refined, how could Skymaple not be agitated?


    "Congratulations, Master! Your long-cherished wish of 13 years is finally fulfilled!" Wang Jie''s words also carried trembling, and he even seemed to choke up a little. He was clearly also greatly moved.


    Wang Jie had followed Skymaple for five to six years already. These five to six years, most of his time was spent on the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill!


    Only he himself was well aware just how much hardship and scoldings he suffered during this period.


    Of course, Wang Jie was an understanding person. He knew the misery and pressure in Skymaple''s heart. That was why he bore the hardships without any complaints.


    Now that the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill had finally been refined, a feeling like the bitterness being followed by the sweet welled up in Wang Jie''s heart.


    He could not resist taking a look at Ye Yuan; his heart filled with awe and veneration.


    Yes, it was awe and veneration!


    This sort of feeling, he only had them towards Skymaple before!


    For Ye Yuan to have such knowledge and means at such an age, it was truly overwhelmingly heaven-defying!


    Originally, Wang Jie was still somewhat pleased with himself within the sect. But now, that pride in his heart was grounded until it was badly mauled.


    This was a genuine genius!


    Ye Yuan also went forward to congratulate. "Congratulations, Grand Elder, to have realized your long-cherished dream!"


    Only now did Skymaple return to reality from his agitation. Looking at Ye Yuan, he sighed emotionally and said, "Ye Yuan, it''s entirely due to your credit that this seat could refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill!"


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "The medicinal herbs were prepared by the sect, and the medicinal pill was refined personally by Grand Elder. How can Ye Yuan dare to claim credit? If one really had to talk about credit, it would just be the credit for loaning out the essence fire. Haha."


    Skymaple did not show anything on the surface, but he secretly approved in his heart.


    Ye Yuan completely lacked the impulsiveness that a youth should have. When claiming credit, he did not become arrogant. Looking at Ye Yuan''s expression, it was as if he did some minor thing that was not even worth mentioning. This was not the breadth of mind that the average youth could have!


    Skymaple obviously did not know that this was really just something insignificant to Ye Yuan.


    "Haha, you don''t need to be modest, Ye Yuan! Whether you have contributions or not, this seat is very clear about it in my heart! This matter, you bestowed grace upon this elderly self and similarly did a favor to my Tranquil Cloud Sect. This old man will remember it in my heart! Wang Jie, gather all the hall elders and above to the Assembly Hall! I have a matter to announce!" Skymaple suddenly said to Wang Jie.


    . . . . . .


    The Assembly Hall was the place where Ye Yuan underwent the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing.


    Presently, there was commotion all about inside the hall. It looked rather like a teahouse.


    "Elder Sun, do you know what matter Grand Elder suddenly summoned us for?"


    Elder Sun was also at a loss as he shook his head and said, "How do I know? Grand Elder has already not inquired about sect matters for many years and studied the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill wholeheartedly. Sigh, I say, did he gather us because the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill is refined?"


    "Ha! How is that possible? That Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill, both you and I have studied it. We can''t refine it either after testing out so many medicinal herbs! Furthermore, this pill formula was accidentally obtained by Forefather Ouyang back them. Forefather was a high-rank Alchemy Sovereign. Even he could not complete it, so how could Grand Elder complete it?"


    "That''s true. But I heard that Grand Elder seemed to have studied another kind of medicinal herb to complete the pill formula recently. He seemed to be very confident. Maybe he really successfully refined it?"


    Another elder could not help laughing as he said, "Haha, Old Sun, you really don''t care what''s going on outside your window! I''ve also heard about the matter you said. But there has already been several cauldron explosions from Grand Elder''s place already. Do you think he can refine it?"


    Finishing, Elder Sun also looked stunned before immediately smiling bitterly and shaking his head.


    In truth, these elders were also displeased towards Skymaple for being obsessed with the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. It was just that Skymaple''s status in the sect was too high. Plus, the Sect Master supported him fully. Hence, nobody dared to say anything.


    One had to know that what Skymaple expended to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill were all Tier 4 materials!


    Tier 4 materials were extremely valuable to the Tranquil Cloud Sect too. These few years, Skymaple exhausted countless manpower and material resources in order to refine this medicinal pill, but he never succeeded.


    To say that these elders did not have any complaints at all, that was unrealistic.


    And it was precisely so that Skymaple wavered previously and did not dare to start the refinement.


    Just as everyone was confused, Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng walked into the hall while chatting happily. There were even two young men following behind them.


    One was Wang Jie, and the other was Ye Yuan.


    When the group of elders saw Ye Yuan, they were stunned.


    How did Ye Yuan get together with Grand Elder after just a few days of not seeing him?


    Especially Yao Qian. He was originally planning on finding trouble with Ye Yuan but did not imagine that Ye Yuan actually walked close with Grand Elder.


    If it was an ordinary relationship, then that was still fine. But if Grand Elder took a fancy to him and took him in as a disciple, then it would be even harder for him to take action in the future!


    Thinking up to here, Yao Qian could not help feeling frustrated in his heart.


    His incident had already become a joke among the elders, but he could not even vent his anger. Truly aggrieving!


    He could only pray now that Ye Yuan and Grand Elder did not have too close a relation.


    The four people came to the center of the hall. Skymaple sat in the main seat, Luo Qingfeng sat beside him, while Ye Yuan and Wang Jie stood behind.


    "Today, I called everyone here because I have two important matters to announce! The first matter is that from tomorrow onwards, I''ll be entering terminal seclusion!"


    When Skymaple''s voice fell, whispered started again.


    However, Ouyang Yu react extremely quickly. He bowed and said, "Martial Uncle, can it be . . ."


    "Hahaha . . . Oh Ouyang you little monkey, your reaction is fast!"


    Skymaple started laughing heartily. Except, his address of Ouyang Yu made the elders simmer with laughter. Ouyang Yu had an embarrassed face.


    Ouyang Yu''s position in the sect was extremely high. Only Skymaple dared to call him a little monkey.


    "That''s right! I believe everyone knows that this seat has been researching the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill wholeheartedly over these years. Heaven rewards the faithful! This Seat finally got what he wanted today and refined out the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill!" Skymaple was clearly in an excellent mood. When speaking, he was full of energy.


    Once these words came out, there was congratulations and delighted surprise below.


    Skymaple beamed happily and accepted everyone''s felicitations.


    After everyone calmed down, he then said, "The second matter this seat is announcing is to appoint Ye Yuan as the Pill Hall''s Vice Hall Head!"

 Chapter 246: Unexpected!

    Chapter 246: Unexpected!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The entire hall was silent . . .


    This appointment from Skymaple came too suddenly. Nobody was mentally prepared, including the sect master, Luo Qingfeng, who was beside him.


    As the sect''s grand elder, Skymaple even had the authority to appoint or dismiss the sect master; let alone a vice hall head.


    Ye Yuan did not have any mental preparation either and was stunned by this nomination for a long while.


    The silence lasted for roughly 10 breaths of time when finally, somebody voiced out to object.


    The first person to oppose it was Ling Potian. "Martial Uncle, Ye Yuan is just a newcomer disciple. Although he has some talent in the path of alchemy, isn''t it rather rash to make him the vice hall head?"


    "En? Your meaning is that I''m old and worthless and can''t discern people clearly?" Skymaple said with a frown.


    These words were rather serious. He was trying to suppress these opposing voices directly.


    Although Ling Potian had a deadpan face, his expression right now was still rather ugly.


    "Potian dare not! Potian was just dealing with the matter as it stands!" Ling Potian clearly had a stubborn temper.


    At this time, Ouyang Yu also came forward. "Martial Uncle, Ye Yuan is only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm and low-rank Alchemy Master. What capability does he have to be the vice hall head?"


    Now that two hall heads stood up to refute this, everyone''s guts also swelled. One by one, they all stood up to object.


    Especially Ouyang Ming and Yao Qian, the two of them were yelling the happiest.


    Among these elders, there were actually quite a few who were displeased with Ye Yuan''s prior attitude.


    In their opinion, although Ye Yuan this young man was talented, he was too oblivious to the immensity of heaven and earth and extremely arrogant! What qualifications did he have to be the vice hall head?


    Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Yuan was still too young! His credentials were too shallow. He was simply unworthy of being the vice hall head!


    What should they do in the future if a teenage youth rode above these elders'' heads?


    Did these old fellows who were hundreds of years old have to respectfully call out ''Vice Hall Head'' when they saw Ye Yuan?


    How was this possible?


    Skymaple''s good mood was completely ruined by this.


    He obviously knew that nominating Ye Yuan to be the vice hall head was somewhat abrupt, but he knew that Ye Yuan''s level was sufficient to take on this position!


    These few days, he had a lot of exchanges with Ye Yuan. Although Ye Yuan had always maintained a disciple''s manners and his words were very restrained, he still inadvertently revealed his erudite knowledge about Alchemy Dao!


    The things that Ye Yuan talked about far surpassed the boundary of Alchemy Master. It even surpassed the boundary of Quasi-Alchemy King!


    He absolutely had the ability to be this vice hall head!


    Skymaple even had a feeling that Ye Yuan was only unable to refine Tier 3 and Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills because his cultivation realm was not there yet! If Ye Yuan''s realm were sufficient, refining Tier 3 and Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills would be as easy as flipping his hands!


    Moreover, Skymaple had another consideration. Placing a heavy emphasis on Ye Yuan also showed the sect''s emphasis on him. This definitely had enormous advantages in building a good relationship with that enigmatic master behind Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s master was bound to be an Alchemy Sovereign existence. He might even be a high-rank Alchemy Sovereign like Ouyang Tuotian!


    Such an existence, even if he just took care of the Tranquil Cloud Sect slightly, it could let the sect enjoy tremendous benefits!


    These fools did not understand anything, all objecting fervently. Skymaple was furious.


    Bang!


    Skymaple slammed a palm on the tea table beside the old-fashioned wooden armchair. The abnormally tenacious and tough Profound Dipper Wood tea table instantly turned into dust.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was secretly alarmed. Grand Elder apparently really became angry!


    Skymaple''s eyes swept across each person''s face. These elders all did not dare to meet his gaze.


    "Good! Very good! All these years, I''ve been in a half-seclusion state. Looks like after not coming out for too long, nobody is taking this old man seriously anymore! Today, I''m going to make Ye Yuan the Pill Hall Vice Hall Head! Anyone else who dares to object will be expelled from the sect!" Skymaple directly used his trump card.


    Once Skymaple''s words came out, everybody was immediately as quiet as cicadas in winter.


    As a matter of fact, it was really as Skymaple said. He had not appeared for too long already. Hence, everyone more or less took him lightly in their minds!


    The blood surged to all of their heads just now. They instinctively felt that letting a Spirit Condensation Realm brat be the Pill Hall''s Vice Hall Head was truly a mockery.


    Except, they did not imagine that Grand Elder was actually going to kick them elders outside the walls because of Ye Yuan!


    At this time, Luo Qingfeng who remained quiet the whole time finally stood up.


    Skymaple already said his words to such an extent. He could not remain silent any longer.


    "I wonder why Martial Uncle wants to appoint Ye Yuan?" Luo Qingfeng asked respectfully.


    Seeing that it was Luo Qingfeng enquiring, Skymaple''s expression eased up slightly as he said solemnly, "All of you are aware of the level nine mission that this seat hung in the Support Star Pavilion, right?"


    "Of course, we know. The mission Martial Uncle issued was to complete the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill," Luo Qingfeng said.


    Skymaple nodded and said, "In truth, it was all thanks to Ye Yuan completing the pill formula that this seat could refine out the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill this time! Furthermore, during the refinement process, Ye Yuan even provided huge assistance! Of course, this is not the main point! The most important thing was that I acquired the Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, the Soul Driving Pill''s formula from Ye Yuan on behalf of the sect. That''s to say, you people are all the future beneficiaries of this pill formula! So, you people tell me, does Ye Yuan deserve to be the vice hall head?"


    Luo Qingfenge''s face changed when he heard this. "There''s actually such a thing?!"


    "Ye Yuan completed the pill formula? How is this possible? He''s only a low-rank Alchemy Master!"


    "Yeah! The thing he took out before was only the True Rising Spirit Pill formula, just a Tier 1 medicinal pills, that''s all. The Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill is a Tier 4 medicinal pill!"


    "Could it be that Ye Yuan really has a formidable master? Also . . . a Quasi-Tier 4 Soul Driving Pill. This name sounds a lot like the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. Can it be . . ."


    "Can it be that we all have a chance to break through?"


    All the elders were incredibly shocked. A low-rank Alchemy Master completed a Tier 4 medicinal pill! This was simply inconceivable!


    At this point, there was no longer anybody who doubted that there really was a powerful master behind Ye Yuan.


    However, what they minded was not this. What they took notice of was the Soul Driving Pill!


    There was nobody who could resist the temptation of breakthrough!


    "This . . . Since this is the case, I have no objections!" Luo Qingfeng pondered for a long time before saying.


    "I agree as well!" Xiao Jian was the first to show his stand.


    . . . . . .


    The objections became waves of approval.


    Yao Qian''s face was as ugly as it could get. With a sway of his body, Ye Yuan actually rode above his head!


    Thinking of how Ye Yuan would boss him around to make him do things in the future, Yao Qian felt just as disgusted as he had just eaten a fly!


    Yao Qian really wished to yell out ''I disagree,'' but the weight of his words in this situation was too feeble. Furthermore, Skymaple said that if anyone dared to object again, they would be directly expelled!


    Yao Qian could only swallow these two words back into his stomach and let it fester.


    The game was set. Skymaple''s expression looked much better.


    "Since that''s the case, then from today onwards, Ye Yuan will be . . ."


    "Hang on!" Skymaple was talking when Ye Yuan interrupted halfway.


    "En? What do you want to say, Ye Yuan?" Skymaple asked in puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan stood up and gave a bow to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng. He slowly said, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, I can''t take this vice hall head position!"

 Chapter 247: Exchange

    Chapter 247: Exchange


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    This matter underwent another unexpected change!


    As the party involved, Ye Yuan actually rejected Grand Elder''s appointment!


    This matter hit one snag after another, leaving the elders at somewhat of a loss on what to do.


    "Ye Yuan, are you worried that you can''t control these punks? Don''t worry, with me around, none of them will dare to disobey your orders!"


    Skymaple did not imagine that Ye Yuan could actually voice out his rejection either. But he soon realized what it was that Ye Yuan was worried about.


    Ye Yuan said, "Not this reason. This disciple thank Grand Elder very much for your great kindness. It''s just that this vice hall head position, disciple really cannot accept it!"


    Skymaple asked in surprise, "Why is that?"


    "This disciple entered the sect to hone the Martial Path. That''s why I entered the Martial Hall. This disciple''s strength is paltry. I originally wanted to compete with the seniors in the Martial Hall. Once I take on this vice hall head position, it wouldn''t be appropriate to spar with other seniors about the Martial Path," Ye Yuan stated a reason that surprised everyone.


    "This . . . Your alchemic talent is so peerless. Walking the Martial Path is truly a waste!" Skymaple sighed emotionally.


    Alchemists just needed to bother with cultivating essence energy and simply did not need to worry about combat power. But to martial artists, essence energy was only the foundation to unleash combat power. What they had to do was to maximize combat power to the greatest!


    Skymaple himself was an alchemist. Seeing that Ye Yuan was so amazing in the Alchemy Path, he naturally hoped for him to walk the Alchemy Path.


    Little did he realize that Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao had already reached the acme of perfection!


    "Thank you, Grand Elder, for your adulation. But at present, to me, the Dartial Path is still more important! I hope that Grand Elder can permit it!" Ye Yuan said earnestly.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan''s was bent on this, a trace of helplessness flashed across Skymaple''s face. He could only say, "Since that''s the case, then this matter is over. However, I still want to give you the position of nominal elder. In the Pill Hall, your status is not beneath theirs."


    Hearing these words, Yao Qian''s mood which just had a turn for the better returned to its original state.


    The so-called nominal elder was that they could ignore Pill Hall work, but enjoy the treatment of an elder. Kind of like only drawing a salary but not doing work.


    That was also to say that as long as Ye Yuan took on this appointment, he would be on an equal footing with him, Yao Qian.


    Recalling half a month ago where he was still an envoy planning on fetching Ye Yuan into the sect. At that time, he even said that Ye Yuan might not even be able to maintain the position of core disciple.


    But after half a month, with a shake of his body, Ye Yuan actually became equal footing as him. There really was the feeling like he was being slapped in the face in public.


    Quickly reject! Quickly reject! Yao Qian kept on praying in his heart that Ye Yuan would also reject this elder position.


    "Since Grand Elder insists, then alright. I''ll accept this nominal elder. However, I hope that the sect will not publicize my status and not give me any special treatment. Let me cultivate with an ordinary disciple identity."


    The reality was very cruel. Ye Yuan accepted this appointment in the end.


    Ye Yuan knew that there were many benefits to being an elder. It was only a nominal status anyway, why would he say no?


    Within the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the elders had many responsibilities and also had many privileges.


    Ye Yuan, as a nominal elder, did not need to carry out responsibilities. He, a Spirit Condensation Realm, could not carry them out even if he wanted to. However, he could enjoy the privileges.


    Only a fool would not do it!


    Ye Yuan also guessed some parts of Skymaple''s thoughts. That was why he was insistent on not accepting the vice hall head position. Ye Yuan''s time was very valuable. He did not wish to waste it on sect affairs.


    But as for this nominal elder, he had no emotional burdens.


    "Haha, it''s good that you agreed. Otherwise, I really would not know how I should thank you. Qingfeng, later, you help Ye Yuan make an elder token. As to the disciples, don''t publicize it." Skymaple also let out a sigh in relief seeing that Ye Yuan accepted.


    Luo Qingfeng replied with a yes; his eyes seemed complicated as he shot Ye Yuan a glance.


    To promote to become a sect elder at the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan was the first person to do so since the establishment of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Luo Qingfeng was also a smart man. He also guessed some parts of Skymaple''s intentions, so he did not have any complaints towards this.


    To a declined sect, they madly yearned to be strong.


    Skymaple swept a glance over everyone. Seeing that many people''s face had unconvinced looks, he sneered coldly in his heart.


    "After this seat enters closed-seclusion, Qingfeng will take the stage. You all do well to assist him! If there are any problems related to alchemy, you can communicate and exchange with Elder Ye Yuan. I believe that he won''t let you down!" Skymaple said calmly.


    Ye Yuan sweated heavily when he heard that. But he could not explain things at such a time.


    This old fellow isn''t drawing aggro to me, right?


    It was still fine for the Martial Hall elders, but the thick hostility from those Pill Hall elders was too distinct!


    Indeed, once Skymaple''s words fell, Ye Yuan immediately felt a deep fighting intent.


    Every one of the elders was filled with righteous indignation. They dared to be angry but dared not voice out. If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have been killed multiple times over by now.


    Just a low-rank Alchemy Master, and the Grand Elder actually used him to compare to the elders. This was such a joke!


    Furthermore, although Grand Elder said ''exchange,'' in truth, everybody heard that it was ''seek advice''!


    Even if Ye Yuan really completed the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill formula, it was definitely a blind cat catching a dead rat, he just coincidentally knew this pill formula; that was all.


    If one were to say that Ye Yuan''s level was high, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death!


    Ye Yuan had an incredible master behind him, so it was also normal to know how to recite several higher level pill formulas. But he was only a teenager. How deep could his understanding towards alchemy be?


    . . . . . .


    In the Pill Hall''s assembly hall, a bunch of elders surrounded Ouyang Yu. Some of their throats were already red from arguing.


    "Hall Head, I really can''t take this lying down! Old me has immersed myself in the Alchemy Path for about 150 years. I dare not say that I''m well-versed in alchemy, but I can''t be beaten by a teenage child, right?"


    "Exactly! I have no objections about Grand Elder insisting on letting Ye Yuan be a nominal elder. But to let us go and seek advice from him, isn''t it too overboard?"


    "Grand Elder is clearly looking down on our Pill Hall! How can he do this?! He himself also walked out from the Pill Hall. How can he belittle our Pill Hall like this? Can it be that so many of us Quasi-Alchemy Kings here can''t even fight him, a low-rank Alchemy Master?"


    "I want to challenge him!"


    "Right, I also want to challenge him! I want to see just whether or not Ye Yuan really has three heads and six arms!"


    "I''ll go too!"


    . . . . . .


    Everyone was clamoring, giving Ouyang Yu a headache.


    However, these elders'' words really hit the spot for him.


    Although Skymaple did not name him, he clearly included him inside too.


    Ouyang Yu was the Pill Hall''s Hall Head and also the strongest alchemist in the Pill Hall; an existence that was only a step away from advancing into Alchemy King Realm.


    Of course, this step was a heavenly chasm to him.


    Such an existence still needed to accept guidance from Ye Yuan, a low-rank Alchemy Master?


    What a joke!


    Ouyang Yu swept a glance over these elders and said with a slight smile, "I didn''t hear anything."


    Finishing, he turned around and left.


    The group of elders was stunned. Immediately after, they revealed an understanding smile.

 Chapter 248: Denied Entry

    Chapter 248: Denied Entry


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Shao Yun was the fifth seat among the Pill Hall elders. The previous year, he had just broken through to high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King Realm.


    As the Pill Hall''s up and rising force in the prime of his life, his position in the Pill Hall was very high, and he was deemed to be one of the contenders to become the next Pill Hall''s hall head.


    In comparison, although Yao Qian and his like were Pill Hall elders, they were the least important group of people, barely enough to do the role of running errands.


    Otherwise, he would not have been sent to the State of Qin to be an envoy.


    His age was old, his cultivation realm was low, and he already exhausted all of his potential and hard to have any breakthrough in this life.


    As the representative of the newly emerging force, Shao Yun was one of the most reluctant to accept Ye Yuan taking on the position of nominal elder.


    In front of Ouyang Yu, Shao Yun was one of those who argued the fiercest.


    Ouyang Yu left without saying anything. It was clear that he tacitly approved of them finding Ye Yuan to ''communicate and exchange.''


    The few elders who made the most noise put their heads together. Finally, Shao Yun offered to come forward and ''challenge'' Ye Yuan!


    Shao Yun was one of the celebrity figures among the various Pill Hall elders. Once his profile appeared in the Earth Barracks, immediately there were disciples who recognized him.


    "Disciple Li Ming has seen Elder Shao Yun," an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciples said respectfully.


    Shao Yun felt a little pleased with himself secretly, but he said authoritatively, "En, you came just in time. Ye Yuan is staying here, right?"


    Li Ming was confused. "Ye Yuan? This name is really unfamiliar. Is he a newcomer? En . . . There seemed to be a novice disciple a few days ago. He beat up Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng''s younger brother right after coming."


    This time, it was Shao Yun''s turn to be stupefied. "Fighting with others the moment he came? Indeed a troublemaker."


    Li Ming saw Shao Yun frown and instinctively thought that he came to find trouble with Ye Yuan. He hurriedly said, "Ye Yuan is staying at the No. 72 courtyard over there. I''ll go call him over to pay respects to Elder Shao right away."


    The elder already came to find Ye Yuan personally. As a disciple, he naturally had to come out to receive him. Finishing, without even waiting for Shao Yun''s approval, he jogged over to the No. 72 courtyard.


    Shao Yun originally wanted to stop Li Ming, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.


    Although Ye Yuan''s nominal elder status was already established, it was still tough for the elders'' viewpoint to switch over in a short period.


    In Shao Yun''s subconscious, he still felt that Ye Yuan should come out to meet him.


    . . . . . .


    Shao Yun called for Ye Yuan''s courtyard gate to be opened. The one who opened it was Lu-er.


    "Miss, I''m finding Ye Yuan." Seeing that it was a beauty who opened the door, Li Ming was very courteous.


    Lu-er saw that this person was unfamiliar and instinctively wanted to turn him away. "Young Master is currently resting. I wonder what matter this senior apprentice brother have?"


    Li Ming obviously could tell that she was evading and could not help furrowing his brows as he said, "Resting huh? Then quickly go and wake Ye Yuan up. Just say that the Pill Hall''s Fifth Seat Elder, Shao Yun, has arrived. Ask him to hurry and welcome him!"


    Li Ming feared that Lu-er did not know Shao Yun''s weight and added a sentence. "Elder Shao Yun is a candidate for the next Pill Hall''s Hall Head. His status is extraordinary. You can''t slight him!"


    Indeed, Lu-er''s expression changed when she heard that.


    It had also been some time since she came to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. She had a rough understanding of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s situation. This title of Pill Hall''s Hall Head was absolutely a big shot in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, even if he was the future Pill Hall''s Hall Head.


    Lu-er did not dare to delay. She immediately went in to report.


    When Ye Yuan heard that it was some future Pill Hall''s Hall Head, his brows could not help knitting together. Did trouble come to find him so soon?


    However, wasn''t this scale a little large?


    Everyone was at the elder level. Want him to go to the gate to receive him?


    This name of future Hall Head might be useful to others, but it was useless to Ye Yuan. In Ye Yuan''s eyes, those Pill Hall elders were all trash; let alone the fact that his identity was already not beneath his.


    One had to know that Skymaple asked him to be the vice hall head at the start. The other party actually had no concept of importance.


    "Lu-er, go tell him that this Young Master is currently busy cultivating. Time doesn''t wait for me. I don''t have time to go out and receive him," Ye Yuan said calmly after hearing that.


    Lu-er was shocked as she said, "But, that Senior Apprentice Brother said that this elder''s position is very high. Wouldn''t this offend people?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "He originally came to find trouble. Even if I go out and welcome him, he will still find trouble. So what''s the difference between whether I offend him or not?"


    Lu-er asked curiously, "How does young master know that he came to find trouble?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Your young master knows everything. Hur hur, go on, just repeat it word for word."


    Ye Yuan did not tell Lu-er about the matter of him becoming a nominal elder. To Ye Yuan, it was simply not noteworthy.


    Lu-er would never defy Ye Yuan''s words. Since Ye Yuan said so, he definitely had his reasons. Hence, she returned to the entrance and reported Ye Yuan''s words to Li Ming.


    When Li Ming heard the words, he nearly cried out. Even if he was giving excuses, there was no need to be so obvious, right?


    Li Ming''s eyes went wide as he stared at Lu-er and confirmed, "You really told your young master that it''s Elder Shao Yun who came to find him?"


    Lu-er felt a little guilty, but she still nodded and said, "Yes. I already told him. But my young master is really busy with cultivation."


    Finishing, Lu-er slammed the door shut with a bang.


    Li Ming stood there in a daze and did not recover for a long time. Isn''t this Ye Yuan too conceited? To actually not even give face to a Pill Hall elder?


    "Elder Shao Yun looked like he was finding trouble to begin with, but Ye Yuan is still showing this attitude. He''s dead now. No one who opposed the Pill Hall elders had a good ending!" Li Ming thought to himself.


    Carrying some discontentment, Li Ming returned back to Shao Yun and reported the encounter earlier. Of course, he even mixed some personal stuff inside.


    Indeed, Shao Yun flew into a great rage when he heard that. He rushed over to the No. 72 courtyard furiously.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    "Ye Yuan! Come out for this Elder! I know that you are not cultivating!" Shao Yun shouted.


    Nobody answered . . .


    Shao Yun was so enraged that he was about to explode. His position in the sect was extremely high. Yet, he was actually declined entry when coming to find a Martial Hall core disciple!


    Due to him shouting extremely loudly just now, it already attracted quite a number of disciples to crowd around.


    If he could not even get the other party''s door to open today, then it would be a tremendous disgrace!


    Shao Yun''s face was already as black as the bottom of a wok. He said solemnly, "I''ll count to three. If you don''t open the door, this elder will tear down your courtyard!"


    "One . . ."


    Shao Yun waited for several breaths of time. No response.


    "Two . . ."


    Still no response.


    "This Ye Yuan is too ballsy! That''s Elder Shao Yun! Others can''t even wait to suck up to him, yet Ye Yuan actually dared to refuse him entry!"


    "Heh heh, this is the prelude of being chased out! Elder Shao Yun is a powerful candidate for the next generation Pill Hall''s Hall Head! Is there anyone who can stay in the sect after offending him?"


    "Last time, I still thought that this boy was a genius when I saw Ye Yuan beat Ceng Yu. But looking at it now, this fellow is a hothead! He could have offended anyone, but why did he have to offend Elder Shao Yun?"


    "About to reach the count of three. Do you guys think that Elder Shao Yun will drag Ye Yuan out and give him a beating?"


    The surrounding disciples were discussing fervently. Such a rare show truly should not be missed!


    Shao Yun had a dark face as he gnashed his teeth and yelled, "Three . . ."


    Still no reaction!

 Chapter 249: A Jade Slip!

    Chapter 249: A Jade Slip!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Good! Very good! Really treating this elder as air? I want to see just how you be a turtle after I tear down your house!" Shao Yun gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Finishing, Shao Yun gathered up a colossal amount of essence energy, forcing the surrounding disciples back as if he was really going to wreck Ye Yuan''s house.


    Watching Shao Yun gather up such immense essence energy, the crowd could not help being dumbstruck. If this really smashed down, forget about the house, even Ye Yuan would become residue, right?


    But right then, the door squeaked open.


    The sound of the door opening was ear-piercing. Everyone could not help looking over in that direction.


    They initially thought that they could see Ye Yuan''s form scrambling over here, but they saw a little green pixie. It was precisely Lu-er.


    Shao Yun only put away his skill after he saw the gate finally open. He sneered coldly in his heart.


    "Humph! As expected, he belongs to the family of donkeys! He won''t move unless he''s hit!" Shao Yun snorted frostily.


    Lu-er did not say anything. She just beckoned towards Shao Yun, signaling him to come over and talk. She looked very mysterious.


    Shao Yun thought that Lu-er was asking him into the house to talk. Hence, he went forward a few steps and was about to enter the door.


    He came to let Ye Yuan know what was called heaven beyond heaven, and human beyond human, not let a bunch of disciples watch a show.


    If he let these disciples know that he came to find Ye Yuan to compete in alchemy, it would only lower his social status. Even if he won, it would not be honorable.


    The Pill Hall''s Fifth Seat winning a Martial Hall core disciple. Wasn''t this him hitting his own face?


    Grand Elder had already instructed not to reveal Ye Yuan''s Pill Hall elder identity. Shao Yun naturally did not dare to poke the bull.


    Except, when he entered the gate and was just about to walk inside, Lu-er extended her hand to stop him.


    Shao Yun''s face fell as he asked, "What''s the meaning of this?"


    Lu-er said in a soft voice, "Young Master says that he''s busy with cultivation currently and doesn''t have the time to spar in alchemy skills with others. Elder, please go back."


    "I already came in. Making me go back? Ye Yuan, he . . ."


    Lu-er interrupted his words and passed him a jade slip, saying, "Young Master said to pass this to you, and you''ll leave on your own."


    Shao Yun reached over to take the jade slip and snickered icily as he said, "Trying to dismiss me with one jade slip? Who does Ye Yuan think he is? A puny little Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually dare to be so arrogant and look down on others to such an extent!"


    Lu-er said, "Why don''t elder take a look at the jade slip first? Since Young Master said so, he naturally has some confidence."


    "Haha, what a joke! Fine, I want to see just how Ye Yuan will use a jade slip to send me away!"


    Shao Yun was a competitive soul. Lu-er slyly slipped in some goading, and this fellow fell for it. In reality, Lu-er did not know what was inside the jade slip either. It was just that Young Master said so. He obviously would not fight a battle he had no confidence in.


    Of course, the more important thing was that Shao Yun simply did not believe that Ye Yuan could send him along his way using a jade slip.


    Shao Yun guessed that there should be a pill formula inside the jade slip. Ye Yuan should be thinking of using a pill formula to bribe him.


    He took this too lightly!


    Think it''s impressive that you can memorize a few pill formulas? Knowing how to recite pill formulas doesn''t equate knowing alchemy skills!


    Even if Ye Yuan had an incredible master who taught him countless types of pill formulas, he was only a low-rank Alchemy Master!


    Today, Shao Yun came to let Ye Yuan know that he was merely an Alchemy Master!


    Shao Yun sunk his divine sense into the jade slip. The expression on his face involuntarily froze. He immediately frowned, then became dazed. Following that, his eyes lit up, and finally, it was a mesmerized face.


    Lu-er kept staring at Shao Yun. Observing how the look on his face changed so richly, on top of curiosity, she felt that Young Master was really too amazing!


    At first, when she heard Young Master say that this elder wanted to find him to spar in alchemy skills, Lu-er was shocked for a long time.


    In Lu-er''s understanding, a Quasi-Alchemy King was an extremely powerful existence, even more amazing than Old Master! Such a figure actually came to compete with Young Master in alchemy skills!


    However, shock was shock. She still chose to believe in Young Master.


    This sort of baseless trust, even she herself did not know why. Anyway, she just believed that Young Master was the strongest. Even a Quasi-Alchemy King could not beat him.


    Of course, her understanding was one thing. Whether or not this jade slip could let a Quasi-Alchemy King scram was another matter.


    When she passed the jade slip to Shao Yun, Lu-er was still having doubts in her heart. But looking at that expression changing like a conjuring show on Shao Yun''s face, Lu-er knew that this elder would not want to enter.


    Indeed, Young Master was the strongest!


    . . . . . .


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, Shao Yun left.


    When he arrived, his aura was tumultuous, and he nearly tore the house down.


    But not five minutes passed after he entered the house when Elder Shao Yun walked out of the courtyard with a besotted look like he had acquired some treasure.


    "What''s with Elder Shao Yun? His stance earlier, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like he went to find trouble, right? Why is it like this now?"


    "Who do I ask if you ask me? It hasn''t been five minutes since he entered the courtyard. Even having a conservation wouldn''t be so quick, right?"


    "Eh, do you feel that this newcomer Ye Yuan is full of mystery like he is unfathomable?"


    "Speaking of which, it really seems to be a slightly so! Did you notice that Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng has already returned for a very long time, but still has not come to find trouble with Ye Yuan?"


    "Hehe, I heard about that. The two of them really met before. But after Senior Apprentice Brother Ceng Cheng took a look at Ye Yuan''s identity token, he immediately stood there mindlessly and did not even know that Ye Yuan left! Furthermore, did you know that the last time Ye Yuan went to the support star pavilion, he accepted a level nine mission?!"


    "No way? So exaggerated? Then did he complete it?"


    "Don''t know. Shouldn''t be complete I think? No matter how heaven-defying he, a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, is, it''s also impossible to finish a level nine mission, right?"


    "Uh, that''s true."


    After Ye Yuan entered the sect, he stayed in his dwelling and had little outside contact. He only did a few things. But these few things made him appear mysterious in the disciples'' eyes.


    And after Shao Yun got that jade slip, he directly returned to his own refinement room without even informing other people.


    The group of elders was still waiting for his news, but it was like he evaporated into thin air.


    The elders only sent someone to inquire in the Earth Barracks after not getting Shao Yun''s news for a long time.


    They only knew that Shao Yun already went there with this inquiry. But he arrived hastily and left swiftly too.


    They only knew that Shao Yun returned to his own residence after they continued investigating.


    But the elders only knew that Shao Yun directly entered a retreat and was not meeting anyone after the elders went to his place to ask!


    After going one big circle only to get such news, it really angered everyone until they were tender on the inside with a burnt exterior.


    This old punk is too irresponsible! Notify us if you''re entering seclusion!


    You made everyone wait for your news!


    However, while they were dissatisfied, everyone was even more doubtful now. Even if Ye Yuan''s level was really extremely high, he could not have made Shao Yun return in defeat after five minutes, right?


    Just what did Shao Yun experience at Ye Yuan''s residence?

 Chapter 250: One After Another!

    Chapter 250: One After Another!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    At the Pill Hall.


    Many elders were gathered together, discussing Shao Yun''s sudden seclusion.


    "You guys tell me; what did Shao Yun encounter at Ye Yuan''s place? Why do I feel that this is more and more abnormal?"


    "Logically speaking, the greatest possibility for Shao Yun''s closed-seclusion is that he was defeated and felt that he lost face, so he was embarrassed to come and see us. That''s why he chose to enter seclusion. But the problem is Shao Yun did not even spend five minutes at Ye Yuan''s residence. It''s not even enough for them to have a conversation!"


    "Yeah. Five minutes isn''t even enough to explain a pill formula clearly. What can they do? This isn''t competing in martial arts either. Can Ye Yuan even one-shot defeat him?"


    "Elder Xin, you''re our big brother. You''ve got to step up for this matter! Can it be that we, such a large bunch of elders, really have to be defeated by Ye Yuan?"


    Once these words were said, the group of elders looked towards the elderly person sitting at the main seat with his eyes shut to rest his mind. He was the Pill Hall''s Third Seat, the number one person beneath Ouyang Yu and the vice hall head, Xin Yuanshu!


    Xin Yuanshu was the elder with the highest seniority and the highest realm. He naturally became everyone''s pillar at this time.


    Likewise a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, but Xin Yuanshu''s strength was much more powerful than Shao Yun''s. He had already advanced to high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King for decades. Although he was still not quite at Ouyang Yu''s level, he was not far off.


    About Ye Yuan, an Alchemy Master becoming a Pill Hall nominal elder, Xin Yuanshu obviously had quite a few veiled criticisms. Or else he would not have appeared here today.


    It was just that he had always been respectful towards Grand Elder, so he did not voice out the entire time.


    Xin Yuanshu naturally looked forward to Shao Yun challenging Ye Yuan. But did not imagine that he would actually lose.


    This way, he was naturally pushed out by everyone.


    Looking at the elders crowding over, Xin Yuanshu''s eyes snapped open. Sweeping a glance across everyone, he sighed and said, "Fine then. This old man will take a trip down and have a crack at this Ye Yuan."


    Xin Yuanshu was already old. Even if he was displeased in his heart, he was unwilling to do this sort of seeking to prevail over others.


    While Shao Yun''s strength was not on par with him, this fifth seat was absolutely not an undeserved reputation. Originally, he thought that he could capture the enemy easily, but did not think that such a thing would happen.


    Such a strange situation, it was naturally the safest to invite the hall head to come forward. But this way, there would be no room left to maneuver.


    Xin Yuanshu has lived in the Pill Hall all his life and had very deep emotions towards the Pill Hall. Now that this matter involved the Pill Hall''s honor, he had no other option but to throw his old face away.


    A 200 plus-year-old man facing a 15-year-old youth. Even if he won, it would be winning unscrupulously.


    If he lost, then his reputation would truly be lost.


    If this were before, Xin Yuanshu would never really think of the word ''lost.'' But with Shao Yun''s incident as the herald, he did not have too much assurance currently.


    Just as everyone said, this Ye Yuan was very peculiar.


    The elders were initially worried that Elder Xin would be unwilling to stand up. Now that they saw him agree, they were naturally beside themselves with joy.


    . . . . . .


    Xin Yuanshu was not as arrogant as Shao Yun. When he arrived at the Earth Barracks, he directly knocked on the No. 72 door.


    After Shao Yun''s service, Ye Yuan''s residence was already familiarized by the Pill Hall elders.


    Before this, these elders truly would not be able to remember what number residence a core disciple was staying in.


    The one who opened the door was still Lu-er. She only peeked her small head out and did not have any intention of letting Xin Yuanshu enter.


    Xin Yuanshu was just about to speak when Lu-er took the initiative. "May I ask for this elder''s name?"


    Xin Yuanshu was dumbfounded, but he still reported his name. "This old man is Xin Yuanshu, the Pill Hall''s Third Seat. I''m . . ."


    Bang!


    Lu-er shut the door before Xin Yuanshu even finished talking.


    Xin Yuanshu was stunned at first before boundless humiliation and anger from embarrassment followed tightly!


    Indeed, like master, like servant!


    The master is so insensible, and the maidservant is the same!


    Who treats guests this way?


    Even if you, Ye Yuan, are really a Pill Hall elder, I, Xin Yuanshu, am also your senior, right?


    Xin Yuanshu was just about to blow his top when the door squeaked open again.


    This time, Lu-er poked out a small head plus an arm.


    "Elder Xin is it? This jade slip is for you. Young Master says that you''ll leave on your own after reading it." Lu-er was afraid that Xin Yuanshu would not read it, so she added on, "Uh . . . that Elder Shao Yun previously also left after reading the jade slip."


    Finishing, the door shut with a bang again, and not a sound could be heard after.


    Xin Yuanshu held the jade slip in his hand with a stupefied face.


    He had already overlooked the way Ye Yuan and Lu-er treated guests and focused his attention on the latter half of Lu-er''s sentence.


    Shao Yun actually went into seclusion because of this jade slip?


    With Ye Yuan''s realm, what could the jade slip he carved be?


    If one were to talk about something Ye Yuan had that Shao Yun would take a fancy upon, that could only be pill formulas!


    Ye Yuan knew many pill formulas that the sect did not. This was already common knowledge among the elders. But would Shao Yun give up the challenge because of a pill formula?


    Wasn''t this taking things too lightly?


    After thinking for a long while, Xin Yuanshu could not figure it out either. He decided to take a look at the jade slip first!


    When Xin Yuanshu sunk his divine sense into the jade slip, he immediately understood why Shao Yun entered closed-seclusion!


    Following that, his expression became as interesting as Shao Yun''s . . .


    . . . . . .


    "Elder Xin has already gone for such a long time. Why isn''t he back yet?"


    "No idea. Could it be that the two of them are locked in a pitched battle?"


    "How is that possible? Elder Xin''s level is practically reaching Hall Head''s. Isn''t trashing Ye Yuan a piece of cake?"


    "Then how do you explain why he hasn''t returned yet?"


    In the Pill Hall, two elders fell silent at the same time. Suddenly, they exchanged glances. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, but they chorused together, "Can it be a closed-seclusion too?"


    Hence, they sent somebody to inquire again. The result they obtained was indeed a closed-seclusion!


    The group of elders exchanged glances but did not know what to say.


    This sort of situation was seriously too abnormal . . .


    The Pill Hall''s Third Seat and Fifth Seat went to find Ye Yuan to challenge him, but the result was that they entered seclusion bafflingly without even notifying them. What kind of situation was this?


    "Just what kind of hex did Ye Yuan cast to actually let Elder Xin and Elder Shao enter a retreat with even giving us a heads up? They . . . didn''t fall under some kind of hex, right?"


    When encountering an inexplicable situation, people would naturally lean towards black magic.


    The group of elders had nothing to say in response.


    After a long while, an elder suddenly stood up and said gravely, "I''ll go and meet Ye Yuan too. I don''t believe that he can make me enter closed-seclusion too!"


    Finishing, without waiting for the group to stop him, he directly hastened out of the door.


    He left threateningly, but the result was that he . . . did not come back either.


    That elder also directly entered a closed-seclusion!


    The development of this situation was more and more peculiar. The elders felt that this was absolutely preposterous.


    If it was only one or two, then fine. But wasn''t three people somewhat unexplainable?


    But this matter had yet to be concluded. In the following two days, there were several more elders who viewed themselves highly and were unwilling to submit that went to challenge Ye Yuan.


    But . . . their outcomes were all . . . closed-seclusions!

 Chapter 251: Sorcerer Ye Yuan

    Chapter 251: Sorcerer Ye Yuan


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Pill Hall elders all entering closed-seclusions caused an uproar in the sect.


    "Did you guys hear? More than eight elders announced closed-seclusions after visiting a Martial Hall core disciple called Ye Yuan''s residence!"


    "How can we not hear about it? The news about Pill Hall elders frequently entering and exiting the Earth Barracks has already given rise to much debate in the sect. It will be hard to not hear it. Now, they are all saying that the disciple called Ye Yuan is a sorcerer! It''s rumored that those eight elders all went to find trouble with Ye Yuan. But they failed to daunt Ye Yuan. Instead, they chose closed-seclusion straightaway!"


    "What sorcerer?! Those elders have incredible powers. They are all late-stage Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses! How can they be hexed by a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?"


    "En? Can it be that you know some behind the scenes stuff?" This disciple was clearly also a gossipy person. Hearing the other party, he could not help probing curiously.


    The other disciple smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, talking about inside stories, I reckon that other than the parties involved, no one else knows. But I, a genius, discovered something fishy when I went through some careful deducing!"


    The gossipy disciple''s eyes lit up. This incident had already become the hottest topic in the sect these past few days. But nobody knew what happened in between, including those Pill Hall elders!


    Now, someone actually said that he knew the backstory. This was clearly enough to whet people''s appetites.


    "Quickly say! What did you find?"


    That disciple smirked smugly and said mysteriously, "Ever since the incident occurred, my initial view was the same as yours, which was Ye Yuan cast some spell! But after thinking about it, that''s not right. Those few elders have unparalleled abilities. Even if Ye Yuan''s enchantment was heaven-defying, it''s also impossible to cross two major realms to cast a curse, right?"


    That gossipy male thought about it and nodded, saying, "That''s true. This explanation is unreasonable."


    "Hence, I started to rack my brains to find what these eight elders have in common! To have made eight elders enter seclusion at the same time, Ye Yuan definitely prescribed the right medicine for the disease. Then what was this disease?" The disciple deliberately beat around the bush as he boasted.


    The gossipy man was indeed very cooperative. He asked puzzledly, "Yeah, what is the disease? My God, just tell me. Is it fun to whet people''s appetite?"


    "I noticed that . . . these eight elders all issued level eight missions in the Support Star Pavilion before!"


    "What? That''s the common area you talked about? Hahaha, are you kidding? You mean that Ye Yuan answered all those level eight missions? That''s how he made all eight elders enter closed-seclusion? Do you feel that it''s possible?" The gossipy man felt like he was tricked and mocked him.


    "Humph humph! You can''t choose not to believe it! At first, I was also taken aback by this thought of mine. But this was the only possibility that I could think of. So I went to the Support Star Pavilion to inquire. Heh, then guess what?"


    This time, the gossipy man was stupefied. He could not help asking, "What? Could it be . . . Ye Yuan really received all these level eight missions?"


    "Nah. But . . . the day before Elder Shao Yun went to find Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan went to the Support Star Pavilion and stayed for an entire afternoon! He did not take on any missions. He just kept looking through missions on the mission jade wall non-stop!"


    "Just based on this?"


    "Just based on that! You have to know that Ye Yuan even took on Grand Elder''s level nine mission previously! If he really completed the level nine mission, what does a few level eight missions even count as?"


    "But . . . is this possible?"


    "Uh . . . although I don''t believe it either, I seriously can''t find a more rational explanation."


    . . . . . .


    "Sect Master, this Ye Yuan is absolutely a sorcerer! You take a look at the Pill Hall now! How many elders are left?"


    In front of Luo Qingfeng, Ouyang Yu denounced Ye Yuan as a sorcerer with bitter resentment.


    Within two days, all the elders who went to Ye Yuan''s residence all announced closed-seclusion.


    Luo Qingfeng actually felt very uncertain in his heart too. But his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Ye Yuan is only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist while the elders are all Sea Transformation Realm experts. Furthermore, those few elders are all late-stage Sea Transformation Realm experts. How can Ye Yuan possibly cast any hex on them?"


    "Then how does Sect Master explain this incident? If this continues, our Pill Hall is going to collapse soon! Without those few elders refining Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, the Martial Hall elders are unable to cultivate! Sect Master, I suggest restraining Ye Yuan first to make him explain things clearly!" Ouyang Yu said furiously.


    While these words had some threatening intent, what Ouyang Yu said was the truth.


    These eight elders were all peak existences in the Pill Hall. Without them, they could not refine medicinal pills. If they kept staying in seclusion, problems would surface in the sect sooner or later!


    Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Better wait another two days. Ye Yuan is a nominal elder that Martial Uncle Skymaple recommended. Before making clear of the situation, we shouldn''t do anything rash."


    "Sect Master! Didn''t you notice that Martial Uncle Skymaple is also beguiled by Ye Yuan? He is a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm and low-rank Alchemy Master; what right does he have to be a nominal elder? Moreover, Martial Uncle Skymaple is currently in closed-seclusion too. Don''t Sect Master find it strange?"


    "This . . ." Being told of this by Ouyang Yu, Luo Qingfeng''s determination appeared to be somewhat wavering.


    "Sect Master! While I don''t know what means Ye Yuan used, but don''t tell me that you can carry on waiting in such a baffling situation right now? What if Ye Yuan really has ulterior motives towards the sect and we don''t do anything? When the time comes, we''ll be the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sinners!" Ouyang Yu pressed on tightly.


    Luo Qingfeng''s eyes glimmered. He nodded and said, "Alright then. This Sect Master will question Ye Yuan personally just what did he do to the elders! Come, men! Call Ye Yuan over for me!"


    Luo Qingfeng left a trace of leeway in the end. If Ye Yuan were really innocent, then when Grand Elder exits seclusion, it would really not be easy to account.


    . . . . . .


    "Haha . . . Indeed, it really was like this! Indeed like this! Truly fantastical! For the Lucidum Bloodgrass to have such miraculous use, it''s truly wondrous! I was saying why I keep being unable to refine the Spirit Wind Pill. Turns out that adding the Lucidum Bloodgrass together with the core ingredients can increase the circulation speed of essence energy!"


    Inside Shao Yun''s refinement room, he laughed madly.


    He refined the Spirit Wind Pill every time according to the pill formula. But each refinement, the Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, Spirit Wind Pill, would be low-grade or even worse.


    Shao Yun kept being unable to figure out where the problem lied the whole time. It turned out that the pill formula itself was incomplete!


    He had also tried to improve the pill formula, but it all ended in failure.


    Left with no other choice, he hung this as a mission in the Support Star Pavilion in hopes that other elders or genius disciples could help to reform the pill formula.


    But it had not been successful.


    After Shao Yun took Ye Yuan''s jade slip, it talked about the method to improve the Spirit Wind Pill. He was immediately hooked.


    Alchemists were all a bunch of madmen. They could research a type of pill formula tirelessly without rest.


    Shao Yun was troubled by this pill formula for many years. How would he be in the leisure mood to go bother about other things?


    Hence, he chose to enter closed-seclusion right away to refine the Spirit Wind Pill according to Ye Yuan''s method!


    Sure enough, it was a success!

 Chapter 252: Sharpening One’s Knife

    Chapter 252: Sharpening One��s Knife


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Spirit Wind Pill was a type of actual combat medicinal pill. Its applicability was very broad.


    After consuming a Spirit Wind Pill, the martial artist could muster essence energy at an increased rate. When unleashing the same move, a martial artist who consumed a Spirit Wind Pill could save half the time!


    At a realm like the Sea Transformation Realm, saving half the time to unleash a move meant holding an absolute initiative!


    Your move was already released while others were still accumulating power to unleash their move. Which martial artist did not wish to have such an advantage?


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sea Transformation Realm martial artists carried such a medicinal pill around with them, their combat power would undoubtedly soar!


    It was precisely so that Shao Yun expended such a huge amount of energy on this medicinal pill.


    But this sort of Tier 4 medicinal pills was really not so easy to refine.


    The defective products that he refined not only had extremely severe side effects, but the medicinal effects also were not obvious either. Such a medicinal pill was clearly unable to be used for actual battle.


    Now that he had resolved this difficult problem, Shao Yun felt reinvigorated, and his spirit refreshed. He decided to properly thank Ye Yuan!


    As for the matter of finding Ye Yuan to compete, it was long tossed beyond the ninth heaven by him.


    After exiting seclusion, Shao Yun ran straight to the Earth Barracks No. 72, but he just happened to bump into Ye Yuan leaving with a young man.


    "En? Ye Yuan, Guo Bin, where are you guys heading to?" Shao Yun asked with a face full of smiles.


    Ye Yuan was at a loss. He did not even recognize this person. He only remembered that Shao Yun seemed to be a Pill Hall elder. As for his name, he could not recall it.


    When Guo Bin saw Shao Yun, shock was written all over his face. He hurriedly went up to salute. "Disciple Guo Bin has seen Martial Uncle Shao. Replying martial uncle, Sect Master made me call Ye Yuan over to question him. Did Martial Uncle Shao exit seclusion?"


    "En? Question? Did something happen?" Shao Yun''s face fell as he asked.


    Guo Bin hesitated for a moment, but still summed up the incident simply. Speaking of which, Shao Yun was the first person sent to seclusion by Ye Yuan.


    But when Shao Yun heard him, he immediately flew into a great rage. "Utter nonsense! What sorcerer? Ye Yuan is someone who rendered meritorious service upon the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Aren''t I perfectly fine? When did I get hexed? Which bastard talked behind my back? Is this cursing this Elder? Come, I''ll go along with you to see Sect Master together!"


    He turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Ye Yuan, I''m called Shao Yun, the Pill Hall''s Fifth Seat Elder. Thanks to you, I finally successfully refined the Spirit Wind Pill!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he immediately knew who the other party was.


    Those few level eight missions were naturally incomparably easy to Ye Yuan. Therefore, he prepared over a dozen copies of jade slips.


    Whoever came, Lu-er would directly hand the jade slip to him after enquiring that person''s name.


    It was also under such a circumstance that after eight elders announced closed-seclusions, nobody came by anymore.


    Seeing Shao Yun express thanks, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just a simple matter that''s not worth mentioning."


    "Ugh, to you, it''s a simple matter. But to me and the sect, it''s a huge matter! Originally, when Grand Elder made you a nominal elder, I, Old Shao, was truthfully speaking unconvinced. But now, I''m sincerely convinced! Come, I''ll help you explain to the sect master!"


    Finishing, Shao Yun dragged Ye Yuan and walked off.


    Guo Bin by the side was shocked to the absolute limit!


    Nominal elder? What kind of situation was this?


    A Spirit Condensation Realm core disciple was actually a Pill Hall nominal elder?


    When he came to look for Ye Yuan just now, his attitude was quite arrogant and bossy. Fortunately, Ye Yuan was rather cooperative. Otherwise, he would have made a move.


    Thinking of how he nearly struck out against a Pill Hall elder, Guo Bin could not help breaking out in cold sweat.


    Offending one''s superior, such a crime was not what he could afford to bear!


    Guo Bin''s status in the sect was even higher than Mo Yuntian and Xin Lie because he was Sect Master Luo Qingfeng''s personal disciple.


    Even with this layer of identity there, if Ye Yuan were bent on pursuing it, he would also land himself in serious trouble!


    Moreover, Shao Yun even said just now that Ye Yuan''s nominal elder was personally conferred by Grand Elder. Grand Elder was Luo Qingfeng''s martial uncle!


    After just two steps, Shao Yun suddenly thought of something and turned around to say to Guo Bin, "If you heard that just now, then fine. But you''re not allowed to spread it around, got it?"


    Guo Bin nodded mechanically, somewhat spaced out. Not sure if he really heard it or pretended to.


    . . . . . .


    When Luo Qingfeng and Ouyang Yu saw Shao Yun arrived together with Ye Yuan, they were at a loss.


    "Why did you come, Shao Yun?" Ouyang Yu asked in puzzlement.


    Shao Yun gave the two a bow and directly said, "Sect Master, Hall Head, you two are mistaken! Ye Yuan did not cast any spells on us but performed deeds of valor for the sect! If you punish Ye Yuan, wouldn''t this disappoint the hearts of all the disciples and elders bitterly?"


    "Deeds of valor? What does that mean?" Luo Qingfeng asked uncertainly.


    Shao Yun recounted the process of the incident, leaving the pair staring with their mouth agape.


    No matter how they racked their brains, they could not figure out just how Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao level would be so high at such a young age? Could it be that he started learning alchemy skills in his mother''s womb?


    "If my conjectures are correct, the other elders should be the same as me. Ye Yuan helped them resolve a problem that had troubled them for many years. That''s also to say that our Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Alchemy Path strength will take a huge stride forward! You guys tell me, did Ye Yuan perform valorous deeds?" Shao Yun was all worked up.


    Luo Qingfeng and Ouyang Yu exchanged glances and saw the astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    "Ye Yuan, why didn''t you say earlier that you did something so big? We nearly wronged you!" Luo Qingfeng looked at Ye Yuan as he sighed emotionally.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Actually, Grand Elder purposely goaded everyone to find trouble with me on that day. I guessed Grand Elder''s intentions, so I also made preparations in advance. These few days, I avoided meeting people not because I want to put on airs in front of the elders, but because I was really training in closed-seclusion. The sect''s grand competition is about to begin. I had just broken through realms recently and needed to consolidate my cultivation realm."


    The sect grand competition was about to begin in another two or three days. Ye Yuan was also itching to give this competition a go.


    The reason why he entered the sect was in order to have exchanges in martial arts with all kinds of geniuses. This way, he could rise even quicker!


    Even though Ye Yuan was formerly a Divine King Realm powerhouse, his foundation on the martial path was too weak. He basically had no real combat experiences.


    While the horizons of these sect geniuses were not as high as Ye Yuan''s, they naturally had their forte to be called geniuses in the sect.


    Such a competition was also an extremely good opportunity for Ye Yuan to temper himself. Why would he miss it?


    In order to deal with Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan must experience countless bitter fights. How could he be able to temper himself for future battles without going through all these?


    Through some medicinal pills and cultivation these few days, Ye Yuan already thoroughly consolidated his realm.


    He was sharpening his knife just to deal with this upcoming grand competition.


    Luo Qingfeng had a look of realization when he heard that and said, "So that''s the case! It was us who wronged you! Just as Elder Shao said, you''ve performed meritorious deeds for the sect. The sect naturally would not be stingy either. With your abilities, I reckon that you''ll turn your nose up at Tier 2 medicinal pills. How about this, the sect will reward you a spirit artifact, a martial technique, and two types of medicinal herbs. You go and pick yourself. The points from these level eight missions will also be awarded to you accordingly. How''s that?"


    Towards something good like this, Ye Yuan obviously would not reject it. Hence, he nodded and accepted it.


    The following two days, Ye Yuan continued to make preparations for the sect grand competition while the elders in closed-seclusion all exited seclusion one after another!


    After they exited seclusion, they obviously heard all kinds of rumors and gossips. They all went to find Luo Qingfeng to explain for Ye Yuan. Luo Qingfeng had to expend a great deal of effort before he could explain it clearly.


    After two days, the sect grand competition was about to begin. But Ye Yuan welcomed a guest . . .

 Chapter 253: Analysis

    Chapter 253: Analysis


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A few days ago, he received Ye Yuan''s message asking him to make a trip back to the sect saying that he already collected enough points and could exchange for the lower half of the Purple Center Soul Incantation.


    Receiving this news, the shock in Jiang Yunhe''s heart could not be any greater.


    It was not even a month since Ye Yuan left the State of Qin. He already earned enough points?


    One had to know that he had already been the dean in the State of Qin for over ten years before barely scrimping 1 million points. He still lacked 400 thousand points.


    Ye Yuan actually earned 400 thousand points using less than a month!


    He told Ye Yuan that he had 1 million points, so he thought that Ye Yuan only had 400 thousand.


    But when Jiang Yunhe met Ye Yuan, and he directly transferred 1.4 million points into his identity token, he stared at Ye Yuan blankly for a long time unable to say anything.


    "This . . . This. . . It hasn''t even been a month since you entered the sect. Where did so many points come from?" Jiang Yunhe asked in astonishment.


    "Hur hur, extorted a small sum and also did some missions," Ye Yuan explained with a chuckle.


    Seeing Ye Yuan dismiss it lightly, Jiang Yunhe''s heart crumbled. Who did he extort to get so many points? Even elite disciples and them, these external staff members, could not possibly have so many points on them, right?"


    Jiang Yunhe''s brain could not quite wrap itself around this. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "No can do. I''ve already amassed roughly 1 million points these few years. I don''t need so much. Just 400 thousand will do. I''ll transfer the rest back to you. You''ve just entered the sect and don''t know the preciousness of points. Save these points to use for yourself."


    "After Dean Jiang exchanged for the Purple Center Soul Incantation, you still have to think of ways to raise your realm. There are still many areas you need to use points for. Keep your points for yourself. Don''t worry, Dean Jiang, I have plenty of points. Even cultivating to the Sea Transformation Realm inside the sect is enough," Ye Yuan said.


    Jiang Yunhe sucked in a cold breath instead. Enough even to cultivate to the Sea Transformation Realm? How many points was that?!


    Those dozen over jade slips that Ye Yuan prepared were all put to use in the end. The worst among these jade slips were level seven missions.


    The points from over a dozen missions added up virtually caught to up Skymaple''s level nine mission. It was close to 300 thousand points.


    In addition to the one million points from selling the pill formula and Skymaple''s 500 thousand points, Ye Yuan roughly had around three million points on hand!


    Even if he transferred 1.4 million to Jiang Yunhe, he still had 1.6 million points left. Even if he spent every day in an A-grade cultivation room, he could stay for 20 years!


    If he really did that, would Ye Yuan be limited to the Sea Transformation Realm?


    Of course, Ye Yuan naturally would not use such a clumsy training method. Sea Transformation Realm was not as distant as others imagined in Ye Yuan''s viewpoint.


    Ye Yuan would not spend these points like that . . . He would spend them even more extravagantly.


    The next few days, Ye Yuan already spent several tens of thousands of points. The vast majority of them were used to exchange for some rarer Tier 2 and Tier 3 medicinal herbs.


    To Ye Yuan, points were just numbers. The real thing was the most fundamental.


    When he was at the State of Qin, Tier 3 medicinal herbs were already extremely precious. Even if Ye Yuan had abilities to mount the heavens, he would also be like a clever wife unable to cook without any rice.


    But there were many precious medicinal herbs in the Tranquil Cloud Sect that were simply unseen in the secular world. Ye Yuan could use them to refine many medicinal pills in case of unexpected needs.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s words, Jiang Yunhe remained somewhat suspicious. But after he looked at his identity token, Jiang Yunhe finally accepted Ye Yuan''s aid.


    "I originally thought that I have to slog for another few more years in the State of Qin, but I didn''t expect happiness to come so quickly. Thank you, Ye Yuan!" Jiang Yunhe said sincerely.


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, to alchemists, Alchemy Grandmaster to Quasi-Alchemy King was an extremely huge threshold.


    Cross it, and one would be a sect elder and belong to the sect upper echelons. Fail to cross it, they could only fade away into the masses and become outer-circle people taking care of the sect.


    "Dean Jiang is too courteous. If not for you asking Teacher Huyan to protect me, I''d have already become a dead soul under Su Yubai''s palm. This minor thing is not worth mentioning," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Since that''s the case, I won''t give such a clich�� reaction. I''ll accept this big gift! Oh right, tomorrow is the sect grand competition. Ye Yuan, I know that you are extremely strong, but your realm is too low in the end. There are still a few people you have to take note of," Jiang Yunhe suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan also became interested after hearing that. It had been nearly a month since he came to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but he only had dealings with those Pill Hall elders. He really did not have the time to understand which formidable characters the Martial Hall had.


    "I''m willing to hear the details!" Ye Yuan revealed an eager look.


    Jiang Yunhe nodded and said, "In my opinion, although you''re in the Earth Barracks now, your strength is already not beneath the Heaven Barracks'' core disciples! Within the Heaven Barracks, there are several people whose strength is relatively heaven-defying. When you encounter them, you have to be careful. Of course, the reason why they are strong is that their realm is much higher than yours. If you guys were at the same level, I believe that you can instantly defeat them!"


    Jiang Yunhe''s judgment of Ye Yuan''s strength was actually roughly the same as Mo Yuntian''s.


    The Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan was most likely not inferior to those elites in the Heaven Barracks anymore. But when comparing to the pinnacle in the Heaven Barracks, Jiang Yunhe did not have much confidence.


    Ye Yuan''s current strength was likely no longer inferior to an ordinary Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    However, even Ceng Cheng could achieve crossing ranks to kill an ordinary Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The strength of Heaven Barracks disciples could be imagined!


    Don''t think that Ceng Cheng was very formidable in the Earth Barracks. In the Heaven Barracks, he was trash!


    Ye Yuan was obviously very clear about his own strength. However, as for how far he could go, he himself did not know how things stood.


    "Hur hur, Dean Jiang flatters me. Just which few are they?"


    "There are three people you need to pay attention to. The first is Luo Chengfeng. This person is only at the peak of the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, but his strength is already firmly in the top three of the Heaven Barracks. Many half-step Crystal Formation Realm Heaven Barracks disciples are not his match. It could be seen how great his strength is! This person is as his name implies, Chengfeng or riding wind; he specializes the most in swift attacks. His opponents tend to have difficulties in following his speed! If you match up with him, take care not to clash with him," Jiang Yunhe said.


    Ye Yuan nodded but did not say anything. He truly had no fear in comparing speed!


    Jiang Yunhe continued, "The second person is a girl, her name is Tang Yu-er. She has the extremely rare Innate Water Spirit Body. Only two years older than you but already a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert! The speed of her cultivation is number one in the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Without any accidents, she will probably be able to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm latest by next year!"


    When Jiang Yunhe finished talking, he suddenly felt that something was off and could not resist taking a look at Ye Yuan.


    To talk about the monstrosity of cultivation speed, most likely, nobody could compare with this person in front of him, right?


    This was not even a month yet, and this boy broke through two realms consecutively again!


    Jiang Yunhe knew that Ye Yuan only used three to four month''s time to go from First Level Essence Qi Realm to Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    No matter how monstrous that Tang Yu-er was, she would most likely need five years, right?

 Chapter 254: There Would Be No Stories Without Coincidences

    Chapter 254: There Would Be No Stories Without Coincidences


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan nodded inwardly and remembered Luo Chengfeng''s and Tang Yu-er''s names.


    For Jiang Yunhe to be so serious about this matter, these two people were definitely peak existences in the Heaven Barracks. Their combat power was likely no longer beneath Crystal Formation Realm experts.


    The sect grand competition was not a deathmatch. Ye Yuan naturally could not use all of his trump cards.


    Although his trumps cards were powerful, once they were unleashed, even he had difficulty controlling them.


    A move like Thousand Flowing Petals, once unleashed, would be to the death. It was truly very monstrous for a Spirit Condensation Realm to be able to mobilize Heaven & Earth essence energy. But once the move took form, he was also unable to control the power.


    As for the Tier 4 essence fire, once he released it, it would even instantly burn the other party into nothingness.


    While Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, it was still clearly extremely forceful for him to want to control the might of a Tier 4 essence fire at present.


    This way, the means Ye Yuan could threaten a late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm with was greatly reduced.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan''s present Spirit Void Shattering Space, First Level, was already trained to the Great Circle Realm. His speed was already not beneath a late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    Coupled with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s Mortal Chapter''s Second Skill, Essence Energy Ignition, he also had the capital to fight.


    As for win or lose, even he himself dare not guarantee anything. When the time came, it would have to depend on his live performance.


    "Who is the last person?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Jiang Yunhe revealed a grave face and said, "You have to be careful of this last person. His name is Tian Yu, Grand Elder Skymaple''s grandson. Among the core disciples, he is publicly acknowledged to be the most talented person!"


    Ye Yuan became interested when he heard that and asked, "Oh? What amazing aspects does this Tian Yu have?"


    "Tian Yu had abnormally high powers of comprehension since young. Like you, he also made it past the Nine Heavens Road! Although he did not pass the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm like you, he had only broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm not long before! Three years ago when he passed the Nine Heavens Road, he was only First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Now that three years have passed, he''s already a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert! Barring no accidents, he would surely advance to elite disciple this time. If you encounter him, you must be careful!"


    In Jiang Yunhe''s heart, his appraisal of Tian Yu was clearly extremely high.


    If Ye Yuan had not appeared, then Tian Yu would be the number one person among the young generation in Jiang Yunhe''s heart.


    Putting Ye Yuan aside, a cultivation speed of three minor realms a year was indeed sufficiently outrageous! Furthermore, he even took the crucial step to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm; half-step Crystal Formation!


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the earlier one passed the Nine Heavens Road, the greater the potential it signified. Mo Yuntian and Xin Lie were the same.


    And those who cleared the Nine Heavens Road all had extremely formidable combat strength. They could basically sweep across all martial artists of the same level!


    For Tian Yu to be able to clear the Nine Heavens Road at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it could be seen just how monstrous he was.


    "Many thanks for Dean Jiang''s tips," Ye Yuan said.


    Seeing off Jiang Yunhe, Ye Yuan did not choose to enter a closed-seclusion. Instead, he took a leisurely stroll around the sect.


    A great battle was nigh. Embracing Buddha''s feet to pray for help at the last minute was clearly useless. Might as well relax and adjust his state of mind.


    . . . . . .


    The second day, the curtains for the sect grand competition was finally drawn back!


    Victory Peak, the battle arena for the sect grand competition. Many platforms were set up on it.


    At the present moment, thousands of disciples were gathered at the peak. These disciples were all the future hope of the sect!


    These thousands of disciples were all selected very carefully from the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, all earth-shaking existences when placed in the secular world.


    But the vast majority of them could only become an outer-sect disciple and fade into the masses in the sect.


    The number of core disciples was 200 people while the number of elite disciples was only a scanty few 20 people!


    Elite disciples'', core disciples'', and outer-sect disciples'' competition sites were separated. And the one that was the focus of all was undoubtedly the elite disciples'' area.


    These 20 people represented the highest level among the younger generation. Regardless of whether they were core disciples or outer-sect disciples, they obviously would not miss out on watching their matches, hoping to comprehend something from within.


    However, the grand competition was carried out at the same time. Only by finishing one''s match in advance could one have the time to go watch other people''s match.


    It was very clear that due to there being too many outer-sect disciples, the arrangement of their schedule was the tightest.


    "Ye Yuan, what number did you draw? Do you know who you''re facing in your first match?" Nanfeng Ruoqing asked.


    The Pill Hall had a competition too. But the duration was much longer than the Martial Hall''s. Hence, the Nanfeng aunt and niece came to cheer Ye Yuan on.


    "I drew No. 52. But my opponent for the first match isn''t fixed yet," Ye Yuan said.


    He did not care who his opponent was. He would rather it was Tian Yu. Ye Yuan truly looked down on ordinary Seventh or Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.


    "Uh, that''s to say your opponent is No. 149. I wonder who No. 149 is?" Nanfeng Zhirou said.


    The core disciple numbers were fixed at 200 people. The disciples would draw lots to determine the opponent.


    After drawing lots, No. 1 would fight No. 200. No. 2 would fight No. 199, so on and so forth.


    Ye Yuan drew No. 52. His opponent was naturally No. 149.


    Of course, in order to not let the strongest core disciples meet in advance which would greatly deplete the later matches adversely, the top 10 in the previous competition automatically became seeded contestant.


    The strength of these ten people''s opponents was relatively weak. There was basically nothing to watch at the start. Their opponents would basically admit defeat right after coming up.


    However, special circumstances had naturally occurred in the past competitions before. Such as the rank 11th disciple being unfortunate enough to draw a number after No. 190. Then the first match would be exciting.


    But relatively speaking, such a situation was extremely rare.


    Ye Yuan drew No. 52. The chances of matching with a strong person were not great.


    "Screw it. Deal with it when it comes. Long Tang, what number did you draw?" Ye Yuan asked Long Tang who was beside him.


    When fighting, core disciples were not divided by Heaven or Earth Barracks.


    "No. 170," Long Tang said.


    "Oh? Like that huh. Against No. 31? It feels like a strong person!" Ye Yuan said.


    Long Tang replied nonchalantly, "Doesn''t matter. Deal with it when it comes."


    "Haha! That''s good then! With your strength, charging into the top 50 shouldn''t be any problem!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "I hope so!"


    Long Tang was also someone who made it past the Nine Heavens Road. It could be seen how great his perception was.


    This one to two months, Long Tang improved extremely quickly. It was just that he did not have the chance to display it.


    Ye Yuan believed that before long, he would surely stand out conspicuously!


    "All disciples listen up. The sect grand competition is about to begin. Quickly find your platforms according to your numbers!" a Martial Hall elder mustered up essence energy to shout loudly.


    Ye Yuan and Long Tang''s eyes met when they heard that and smiled. They each went to their platform.


    Ye Yuan was No. 52, which was also at platform No. 52.


    When he arrived at his platform, the No. 149 disciple was already there early.


    When Ye Yuan saw the other party, he was involuntarily stunned.


    There would really be no stories without coincidences!

 Chapter 255: No. 52

    Chapter 255: No. 52


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ceng Yu looked at Ye Yuan who was opposite with a green face.


    He never imagined that he would encounter this ominous star in the first round.


    After Ceng Cheng returned last time, he warned him to absolutely never provoke Ye Yuan again!


    You got to be kidding. A newbie disciple with over a million points on him. Who knew what kind of terrifying background he had?


    Even ordinary elders did not have so many points, but it was on a Spirit Condensation Realm disciple. This was too peculiar.


    Listening to his elder brother''s words, Ceng Yu also knew that Ye Yuan was not someone he could afford to offend.


    It was just that he never expected he would bump into Ye Yuan so coincidentally in the first round.


    "The sect''s grand competition begins now!"


    The Martial Hall elder''s voice resounded once more. The grand competition officially began.


    Fierce fighting sounds rose one after another, instantly enveloping the entire arena. However, some platforms were silent, such as platform No. 52.


    Ye Yuan did move. Neither did Ceng Yu.


    Ceng Yu was no fool. Ye Yuan could defeat him at Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, let alone now that he was already Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    "I concede!" Without much hesitation, Ceng Yu admitted defeat very decisively.


    "Platform No. 52, No. 52 wins," the elder''s voice sounded out again.


    Every platform had an array installed. The elder could understand the activity on the platforms at the first moment through the array center.


    The elder''s voice was slightly hesitant. He clearly did not think that the first to win would actually be the unknown No. 52.


    Normally, the first platform to win would either be No. 1 or No. 2, because the difference between both parties was too great.


    However, the sect grand competition was also hard to come by chance to temper one''s self. To be able to seek guidance from the number one or two ranked core disciple was something that other disciples wished for. Remarkably few people would concede.


    Ceng Yu admitting defeat directly also resulted in Ye Yuan become the first to win among the 100 platforms.


    "Who is on platform No. 52? The opponent didn''t purposely give up, right?"


    "Yeah! In the past grand competitions, it''s basically always No. 1 who wins first. The gap between Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s strength and ours is too far! What the hell is with this No. 52 who popped out this time?"


    "Who knows! Logically speaking, other than those few sickos in the top 10, the disparity in strength for those behind would not be too ridiculous. Even if they lose, it''s impossible to be faster than Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, right?"


    "Who cares? After this first round is over, we''ll naturally know which deity is this No. 52."


    The worst of the Heaven Barracks'' rank one was quasi-elite disciple strength. They were existences like cranes among chickens among the core disciples.


    Hence, every grand competition, it was basically always No. 1 who won first.


    But a little hiccup happened right from the start today. An unknown No. 52 was the first to win. This attracted quite a few curious eyes.


    Although winning first did not mean anything, this sort of hiccup that subverted the past could still add conversational topics for the grand competition.


    The disciples started the competition directly after drawing lots, so apart from the first ten who were predetermined, others did not know who had which number.


    Platform No. 1, Tian Yu was just about to attack when he heard the elder''s voice. His heart involuntarily jolted.


    I heard that two core disciples who made it through the Nine Heavens Road were brought over recently. One of them succeeded in clearing the challenge with Essence Qi Realm cultivation! Could it be that this No. 52 is one of them? Tian Yu thought to himself.


    Those who cleared the Nine Heavens Road all knew that one could obtain enormous rewards from there!


    To challenge the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm, the difficulty was far beyond imagination!


    Even Tian Yu himself only dared to challenge it after reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Without question, Ye Yuan''s emergence gave Tian Yu intangible pressure.


    Now that such a peculiar situation occurred in the grand competition, it really stirred Tian Yu''s curiosity.


    Tian Yu looked at his opponent opposite him and said coolly, "Sorry, let''s end like this!"


    Finishing, only to see a streak of sword beam flashed over. His opponent flew out.


    The No. 200 drawn today was not mediocre. He could not help that the disparity between him and Tian Yu was too great!


    He did not even get a clear look at how Tian Yu attacked just now as if he did not even move before!


    Such strength was too terrifying!


    No. 200 struggled to his feet and said respectfully, "Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu showing mercy. I lost!"


    Tian Yu nodded and walked down the platform. Such an opponent simply could not draw his interest.


    If he were willing, that move just now would have already killed the other party. However, this was the sect grand competition. The other party was only slightly injured.


    Within the Spirit Condensation Realm, Tian Yu was virtually invincible!


    His opponents had never been Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. Only those people among the elite disciples were his rivals.


    And in the not too distant future, he would also trample those people underfoot.


    However, that youth who challenged the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm still made him garner some curiosity.


    Although he did not think that the other party was stronger than him, he could not deny that the other party should not be inferior to him!


    In reality, Tian Yu was also prepared to challenge the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm. But at that time, he did not feel very confident, so he gave up.


    The other party being able to clear the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm at best only meant that his luck was slightly better than his.


    He heard that the State of Qin youth called Ye Yuan was forced to enter the Nine Heavens Road. He must have stimulated his potential in a hopeless situation before he could successfully clear it.


    Tian Yu strolled leisurely to the center of the array formation. He came to find the elder hosting the array formation.


    "It has been tough on you, Elder Feng," Tian Yu gave a bow and said.


    "Oh, it''s Tian Yu. How is it tough to serve the sect? Hur hur, you came to ask about that No. 52, right?" Elder Feng said with a chortle.


    Tian Yu did not conceal it and nodded slightly.


    "I thought that you wouldn''t pay attention to this sort of minor matter. After all, it''s only a matter of moments if you want to beat your opponent."


    Tian Yu smiled and said, "I only want to confirm something."


    Ye Yuan and Long Tang passed the Nine Heavens Road. While it was not considered confidential information, reports from the secular world dojos were generally straight to the top.


    Ordinary elders did not know nor were they interested in knowing this kind of stuff.


    Tian Yu was the grand elder''s grandson. His identity was extraordinary. This bit of special privilege was naturally there. Elder Feng would not refuse to give him this face either.


    He was just rather curious that this sort of small thing like No. 52 winning would actually draw Tian Yu''s concern.


    The way Elder Feng saw it, Tian Yu should be going over to the elite disciples'' platforms right now.


    The battle situation over there was very intense. It currently should not have ended yet.


    "No. 52 is called Ye Yuan, a newcomer core disciple. Speaking of which, it''s kind of strange. This boy is actually only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm while his opponent is already at the peak Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, yet he actually conceded straight away."


    Elder Feng talked about the situation he understood from the array formation but did not notice that Tian Yu''s expression became increasingly uglier.


    It was indeed this Ye Yuan! I didn''t think that he broke through to middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm so quickly already! Looks like the benefits he obtained on the Nine Heavens Road was even more than me! As expected, I should have challenged it at the Essence Qi Realm! Tian Yu sighed quietly to himself.

 Chapter 256: Future Strongest Powerhouse

    Chapter 256: Future Strongest Powerhouse


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    On the martial path, the earlier and the more Heavenly Daos comprehended, the greater one''s future accomplishments would naturally be too.


    All the myriad cultivation methods under the heavens all matched a certain area of understanding towards Heavenly Dao.


    The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was an extremely profound sword art. If he could have comprehended it at the Essence Qi Realm, Tian Yu''s future accomplishments could possibly be even higher!


    It was exactly because Tian Yu felt the sword intent on the Nine Heavens Road that his cultivation, later on, became increasingly faster.


    Because the Heavenly Dao that he comprehended far exceeded his present realm. It allowed his cultivation speed to far surpass ordinary people.


    Of course, this kind of cultivation speed was not limitless. As the speed he comprehended Heavenly Dao decreases with time, and his realm and comprehension of Heavenly Dao gradually reached an equilibrium; his cultivation speed would naturally drop too.


    This was a definite result no matter how much more monstrous Tian Yu was.


    The higher the realm, the more difficult it was to comprehend Heavenly Dao. Even those peak geniuses in the Divine Realm felt times where human effort just won''t do, let alone the Lower Realms.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not escape this fate either. But the Heavenly Dao that he comprehended was not even on the same level as the Endless World''s martial artists. Hence, he did not need to worry about this problem now.


    Furthermore, the reason why Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to raise his realm was that he was comprehending and understanding Heavenly Dao anew!


    Ji Qingyun''s realm was virtually piled up using medicinal pills. At that time, he did not use any effort to understand Heavenly Dao. He knew the how but not the why.


    Now that Ye Yuan was resolved to step onto the martial path, he obviously would not make this kind of mistake again.


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s Heavenly Dao realm, he could return to the pinnacle in just a few years using medicinal pills to pile on the entire way.


    But that way, he would become a power level 5 trash again.


    Ye Yuan''s improvement speed was already so rapid that it was implausible in other peoples'' eyes, but he himself knew just how slow it was!


    Ye Yuan was making up for the homework he did not do in his previous life at ''tortoise speed.''


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not imagine that Ceng Yu conceding straight away would cause a moderate disturbance. He arrived at platform No. 31 directly after winning.


    Since he was unoccupied and had nothing to do, he and the Nanfeng aunt and niece came to watch Long Tang''s match together.


    Right now, Long Tang was currently in the midst of a fierce battle with the other party on the platform!


    Ye Yuan''s opponent was the No. 31 Liu Fang, a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!


    Among the sect core disciples, a martial artist with such strength should by right crush a newcomer like Long Tang.


    But the reality was that although he held the initiative, he kept being unable to take down Long Tang.


    Long Tang was not those genius type martial artists. Instead, he was a tenacious and perceptive martial artist.


    Although signs of defeat gradually showed on the platform, he still held onto that last breath and refused to breathe his last. Liu Fang was also rather anxious after not taking him down despite attacking for so long.


    Ye Yuan''s worldview was amazingly high. He understood the situation in the arena with a single glance.


    "Sigh, it doesn''t look good for Senior Apprentice Brother Long anymore. This is his first battle after entering the sect. If he were defeated, it would be quite a huge blow to him, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou clearly also saw through Long Tang''s bad situation and said somewhat worriedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax. Long Tang''s strength should be greater than this. He''s definitely hiding some cards."


    "En? How do you know? Senior Apprentice Brother Long wouldn''t tell you what trump cards he has, right? Didn''t you guys not fight?"


    "I''m guessing," Ye Yuan said honestly.


    "Tch, guessing again! You can even guess that others have trump cards! That No. 31 is at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm! Whatever trump cards Senior Apprentice Brother Long has, it''s most likely all used up already. Could it be that he hasn''t even used his trumps cards despite fighting up to now?" Nanfeng Zhirou said somewhat disbelievingly.


    A very long time had already passed since the match started. It was long past the stage where they probed each other out.


    Encountering an opponent that was so much stronger than him, it was impossible for Long Tang to not use any trump cards, right?


    "Used is definitely used. But Long Tang definitely won''t expose his strength to his foe all at once. Carrying on watching and you''ll see." Ye Yuan no longer looked at Nanfeng Zhirou but focused on the match in the arena.


    Back then when Yao Qian warned Ye Yuan at the State of Qin, there was one thing which was right, and that was the strength of sect core disciples were indeed formidable.


    Long Tang''s combat strength was originally very powerful already. Leaping ranks to battle was like having a meal.


    Now that he made it past the Nine Heavens Road and was in seclusion to comprehend for more than a month, his strength increased by who knew how much.


    If it was the standard of the State of Qin''s Dan Wu Academy, Long Tang challenging a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm as Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was something that could be easily accomplished.


    But now, facing Liu Fang, Long Tang had exhausted virtually all of his moves, but could not gain any advantages.


    If Long Tang did not have any more moves, defeat was sooner or later.


    From this, it could be seen just how powerful sect core disciples were.


    Of course, this was Ye Yuan sensing on behalf of Long Tang. When he was facing his opponent, he really did not feel that the other party was very strong.


    After all, Ye Yuan was not even in the same world as these so-called geniuses.


    On the platform, Long Tang was already forced into a corner by Liu Fang. The situation looked very desperate, and there was the danger of losing any time.


    "Haha, what a troublesome newcomer! To actually be able to force me to such an extent. You can be amply proud! After this, go to the loser group! Burning Flame Palm!"


    Seeing as Long Tang''s defeat was imminent, Liu Fang decided to take the other party down in one fell swoop!


    This Burning Flame Palm was a fire attribute superior-grade Tier 2 martial technique. Its might was incredible! Under a single palm move, a stretch of red actually flooded Long Tang''s corner. It could be seen how high the temperature was.


    The way Liu Fang saw it, Long Tang absolutely only had the outcome of defeat under this palm!


    But right then, Liu Fang''s eyes revealed gaping astonishment!


    Long Tang shut his eyes and threw a punch forward just like that.


    A very ordinary punch that seemingly did not have the slightest bit of force.


    But it was this punch that easily crushed the high temperature created by his Burning Flame Palm.


    It was this simple punch that broke his defense with unstoppable momentum, smashing onto his chest!


    Bang!


    Liu Fang flew out backward and became unconscious . . .


    After several breaths of time, Elder Feng''s voice sounded again, "Platform No. 31, No. 170 wins!"


    Ye Yuan looked at this fist from Long Tang and could not help smiling faintly.


    This fellow''s comprehension abilities were truly not an ordinary kind of powerful! Long Tang actually comprehended some superficial knowledge from that finger he used to give pointers to Wu Luochen with!


    Furthermore, Long Tang successfully converted Ye Yuan''s sword intent into his fist intent, and he trudged out a path that belonged to himself!


    In future, if Long Tang could perfect this fist intent, his accomplishments would surely be extraordinary!


    However, this kind of self-created fist intent road was not easy to walk. The difficulty was ten times, even tens of times greater than ordinary people!


    But once he walked finish this road, Long Tang would surely be a powerhouse of a region in the future!


    At least, shattering the void and entering the Divine Realm should not be an issue.


    "Ah! Senior Apprentice Brother Long actually won under such a circumstance! Really amazing!" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.


    "Ye Yuan, Long Tang''s punch just now, why do I feel that it''s kind of like . . ." Nanfeng Ruoqing said uncertainly.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "That''s right. He indeed learned secretly and created a fist intent that belongs to him! Hehe, if Long Tang doesn''t fall, he could very well be the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse in the future!"

 Chapter 257: True Intent!

    Chapter 257: True Intent!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    When Ye Yuan said this, Nanfeng Ruoqing''s and Nanfeng Zhirou''s hair stood on its ends!


    What kind of concept was the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse?


    With their present realm, it was simply unimaginable!


    "Endless World''s strongest powerhouse? You actually dared to say that!" Cold laughter came from the side.


    Ye Yuan looked over only to see a young man with a handsome face like carved jade, around 18 or 19 years old. This person was precisely Tian Yu who had nothing better to do too.


    After he left Elder Feng''s place, he decided to come and take a look at the other challenger of the Nine Heavens Road, Long Tang. But he did not think that he would hear Ye Yuan talk nonsense right after reaching here.


    Ye Yuan only smiled and did not give any explanations. "Haha,this Senior Apprentice Brother, just take it as a joke."


    Since Ye Yuan said that, Tian Yu could not really pursue it.


    To become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse was the lifetime aspiration of all martial artists. Ye Yuan''s prediction sounded somewhat baffling, but in reality, it did not hurt the important essentials.


    Tian Yu sized up Ye Yuan. He seemed to feel something and asked, "You''re Ye Yuan?"


    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to be stunned. "Senior Apprentice Brother knows me?"


    "Looks like my guess was indeed correct. I''m called Tian Yu. You should have heard of me," Tian Yu said coolly.


    Such words that leaked overbearingness, only a genius like Tian Yu dared to say it.


    While it was rather wild, this was a fact. Ye Yuan had indeed heard of him before.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became slightly cold. He did not think that this young man in front of him was actually the number one on the core disciples'' rankings, Tian Yu!


    "So, it''s Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. Pardon me," Ye Yuan cupped his fists and greeted.


    Yesterday, he heard about this Tian Yu''s prowess, but he did not expect to encounter him today. Except, why did he come here?


    Towards Ye Yuan''s attitude, Tian Yu was slightly displeased.


    Normally speaking, when newcomer disciples met him for the first time, the majority would show an enthralled and admiring look. But Ye Yuan did not.


    This was an exchange of equals.


    Although he made it past the Nine Heavens Road and his talent was outstanding, he was only Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm after all. Did he think that he could already match him equally?


    As a newcomer, shouldn''t he be more humble?


    It will be hard for this person to amount to anything!


    Tian Yu gave Ye Yuan such an appraisal in his heart.


    Skymaple always taught Tian Yu to not be self-conceited because of his talent. Otherwise, his future accomplishments would definitely be limited!


    This was not talking about defects in personality affecting cultivation, but a personality where one acted in undue confidence of their own ability would easily look down on everything. Such a person would also easily suffer setbacks. Some people become braver in the face of setbacks, while extremely few geniuses who was conceited because of their talent would grow up. This was because they could not endure setbacks.


    While Tian Yu had an air of arrogance, he was never cavalier. When his strength was low, he knew how to respect seniors.


    Judging others with himself, Tian Yu naturally felt that Ye Yuan was relying on his talent to look down on others.


    Tian Yu only nodded and did not say much. Instead, he pointed at Long Tang and asked, "You said that he can become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse. Why? Just based on that one punch? I also saw that punch earlier. Although the power was decent, isn''t it too ridiculous to say that he can become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse based on that?"


    If Ye Yuan said that he could become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse, Tian Yu would definitely shrug it off with a laugh, and then leave with a flick of his sleeves.


    Such a wildly arrogant person was not worth his, Tian Yu''s, attention.


    But Ye Yuan talked about Long Tang earlier and not himself. This made Tian Yu rather curious.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu actually took it for real. He smiled and said, "Does Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu really want to know?"


    Tian Yu said, "Of course! I want to know whether or not you''re talking nonsense or can you back your words."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu also trains in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, right?"


    "That''s right. You''re not saying that my sword intent can''t be compared to his fist art, right?" Tian Yu heard the implied meaning behind Ye Yuan''s words.


    However, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "From a certain standpoint, I''m afraid that Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s sword intent really can''t match his fist intent!"


    When Ye Yuan said this, not only Tian Yu, even Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou felt that it was rather nonsensical.


    Tian Yu had a profound understanding of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. How could it possibly not compare to the Long Tang who had just cleared the Nine Heavens Road?


    Tian Yu did not become angry. Instead, he asked, "From what standpoint?"


    If what Ye Yuan said was reasonable, he would naturally be able to tell. If it was bullshit, then he had no need to continue chatting.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, ask yourself, how does your sword intent compare to Forefather You Wuya?"


    "Of course, it is far from comparable! Forefather You Wuya was a genius. The sword intent I have comprehended currently is at most 60% of his. Why? You''re not going to say that Long Tang can match Forefather You Wuya, right?"


    "Whether he can match or not, I don''t know. But in the future, he perhaps has the chance to reach Forefather You Wuya''s height! Don''t get anxious, Senior Apprentice Brother, listen to me. Although our predecessors'' ways are good, that which belongs to yourself is the strongest! Maybe Senior Apprentice Brother isn''t willing to listen to this, but your Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent will never reach Forefather You Wuya''s realm no matter how much you train! Because this sword intent was created by him! On the other hand for Long Tang, his fist intent has already broken off from the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, and he found a martial path which belongs to him alone! If he can continuously perfect this path, his future accomplishments would at least be Forefather You Wuya''s height!"


    Ye Yuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Long Tang''s fist intent already has the elementary form of true intent!"


    Tian Yu was still showing a disdainful expression before this. But towards the end, his face was completely solemn.


    All the way until he heard the two words, ''true intent.'' Tian Yu stared at Ye Yuan completely dumbstruck!


    In the entire Endless World, the number of martial artists who possessed true intent could be counted on one hand! That martial artists who possessed true intent were all legends!


    According to Tian Yu''s knowledge, only those few overwhelmingly powerful existences in the Northern Domain possessed their own true intent!


    But now, Ye Yuan was telling him that that plain-looking young man actually possessed true intent!


    Although it was only the elementary form, it was sufficiently terrifying in the entire Southern Domain!


    Nobody could clearly describe what Heavenly Dao was, but martial artists could understand the Heavenly Dao belonging to them through certain things!


    True intent was one of those things!


    The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent was actually a type of true intent! Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword was similarly a type of true intent!


    Once someone comprehended a true intent to the extremities, shattering the void and ascending to the Divine Realm was a simple matter.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan said that Long Tang could possibly become the Endless World''s most powerful person in the future!


    Although Tian Yu was powerful now, he was walking another person''s path.


    If he could not comprehend a true intent belonging to himself, then it was impossible for him to ever surpass You Wuya!


    The true intent that other people comprehended, no matter how profound one''s understanding of it was, it was impossible to surpass the predecessor.


    Learning other people''s stuff was actually a type of shortcut. But this kind of shortcut could easily bring one to a dead end.


    Of course, if one did not learn anything and wanted to comprehend true intent from thin air, it would be impossibly difficult. Unless they were a monstrous person like Ye Yuan who comprehended a type of true intent from watching the scene of falling petals filling the skies.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan obviously would not tell Tian Yu that the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Intent from fusing the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent and Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword Intent was already equipped with the elementary form of a Supreme True Intent!

 Chapter 258: Breaking Fantasy

    Chapter 258: Breaking Fantasy


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A supreme true intent was an even higher level existence than a true intent!


    Apart from a Divine King that was piled up using medicinal pills like Ji Qingyun, virtually every Divine King powerhouse had their own supreme true intent.


    Some Divine Kings even had more than one type of supreme true intent. Such as the Spirit Bristle Divine King. He alone had comprehended four kinds of supreme true intent!


    These four kinds of supreme true intent were comprehended from the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    Hence, when he displayed Nine Suns Burning Heaven, its might was so incredible that it was unimaginable!


    But the current Ye Yuan had not even comprehended a type of supreme true intent thoroughly. It could be seen just how great the disparity between him and those pinnacle level Divine Kings was.


    However, it was already very incredible for Ye Yuan to be able to comprehend the elementary form of a supreme true intent when he was re-cultivating the martial path.


    One had to know that he basically did not comprehend any dog-fart supreme true intent in his previous life.


    Just based on this point, he was no different from the other Endless World martial artists. To be able to comprehend a supreme true intent at the Essence Qi Realm was ultimately because of his monstrous perception.


    On this aspect, Long Tang''s comprehension ability was not even on the same level when compared to Ye Yuan.


    Of course, Tian Yu did not even know what supreme true intent was. Because nobody in the Endless World had ever comprehended a supreme true intent before!


    Perhaps there were some who comprehended supreme true intent in the Divine Realm after shattering the void. But those people were no longer in the Endless World. Furthermore, the chances of that were so meager that it was negligible.


    There were numerous Lower Planes. Every day, countless people ascended to the Divine Realm. However, there might not even be a single person who could comprehend a supreme true intent among 10 million people.


    From this, it could be seen how hard to come by supreme true intent was!


    If not for supreme true intent, how could Ye Yuan mobilize heaven and earth essence energy with Spirit Condensation Realm strength?


    That was resonance with Heavenly Dao!


    When Tian Yu heard Ye Yuan''s words, the shock in his heart could not be any greater!


    "How do you know that that is the elementary form of a true intent? Could you have comprehended it too?" Tian Yu could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan replied nonchalantly, "Of course."


    Even though he was already prepared, hearing Ye Yuan say it so naturally, Tian Yu still felt that it was too incredible.


    The tiny Tranquil Cloud Sect actually gave birth to two peerless geniuses who possessed the elementary form of a true intent at once!


    If they could completely comprehend true intent in the future, wouldn''t the Tranquil Cloud Sect become the number one great sect in the Endless World?


    Tian Yu instinctively felt that Ye Yuan only comprehended the elementary form of a true intent too. After all, true intent was too difficult to comprehend. With Ye Yuan''s age, comprehending the elementary form of a true intent was already very heaven-defying. How could it be possible to comprehend true intent fully?


    Tian Yu obviously did not know that the reason why Long Tang could comprehend the elementary form of a true intent was entirely because of that one finger before Ye Yuan left and not because of the Nine Heavens Road!


    Think up to here, Tian Yu could not help reproaching himself.


    He had always thought that he was an unrivaled peerless genius and would definitely succeed his grandfather''s will in the future, bringing the Tranquil Cloud Sect to rise.


    But now, the person who comprehended the elementary form of a true intent was actually not him but two disciples who came from the secular world''s dojo!


    "Walking my own path huh . . ." Tian Yu muttered to himself, his gaze gradually becoming resolved. He looked at Ye Yuan and said, "Alright. I look forward to the match with you two! When the time comes, let me see what is called trudging out your own path!


    "That was my wish to begin with," Ye Yuan said with a slight smile.


    . . . . . .


    After Tian Yu left, Long Tang also came down from the platform. When he saw Ye Yuan, a trace of embarrassment involuntarily showed on Long Tang''s face.


    Although his fist intent was comprehended by him, half of the credit fell onto Ye Yuan''s head.


    Ye Yuan''s finger had the intentions of guiding Wu Luochen like a master demonstrating for his disciple; a visual representation.


    Since Long Tang comprehended a fist intent belonging to himself from there, Ye Yuan could be considered half his master.


    While he knew that Ye Yuan was very monstrous, Long Tang obviously felt very awkward to treat him as his master.


    "Haha, that fist just now was pretty decent! To be able to comprehend the elementary form of a true intent is your own abilities. Don''t have to feel conflicted." Ye Yuan could evidently see Long Tang''s awkwardness and brushed over it with a laugh.


    Long Tang''s gaze condensed. That trace of embarrassment vanished, and he exclaimed in shock, "Elementary form of true intent? You''re saying . . . I comprehended true intent?"


    Up till now, Long Tang was still unaware that he had already stepped onto a broad path!


    But Long Tang could not be blamed for not knowing. It was that there were truly too few martial artists in the Endless World who possessed true intent. Moreover, martial artists who possessed true intent mostly cherished their possessions. It was naturally impossible for them to display it in public like Ye Yuan. It was also not strange that Long Tang did not know.


    However, Long Tang was crystal clear on what comprehending true intent meant to him!


    "Not bad! Although it''s still very shallow, that fist earlier indeed has the elementary form of true intent already!" Ye Yuan confirmed.


    Having received a definite answer, Long Tang''s entire body twinged as he started trembling with excitement.


    "Hur hur, just now, Ye Yuan was even saying that you can become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse in future!" Nanfeng Zhirou interjected with a giggle.


    Long Tang looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. He did not think that his appraisal of himself was actually so high!


    Then the problem came, if he was the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse, what about Ye Yuan?


    Just solely based on that one finger, Long Tang understood the disparity between him and Ye Yuan deeply. If he could even become the Endless World''s strongest powerhouse, then what heights would Ye Yuan reach?


    If he had already comprehended the elementary form of true intent, didn''t that mean that the finger Ye Yuan demonstrated was the real true intent?


    Thinking up to here, Long Tang sucked in a cold breath instead.


    "Haha, you guys, look how he''s so agitated that he can''t even talk." Nanfeng Zhirou scoffed.


    Long Tang blushed, but Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Comprehending the elementary form of true intent is only the beginning. The future road is still long. One must expend 10 times, 100 times, the effort of ordinary people if they want to create a complete true intent."


    Long Tang nodded and said, "En. No matter how tough this road gets, I will walk to the end!"


    Long Tang''s martial heart was very firm. Ye Yuan could see this point, so he naturally would not say too much.


    However, Long Tang was still kind of frustrated in his heart. Other people had to expend 10 times, 100 times, the effort before they could comprehend true intent. What about you?


    Truly, comparing people is odious, compare goods and you''ll have to toss them!


    "Oh, right, your fist intent should belong to a higher order. Got a name yet?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    Long Tang shook his head blankly. "I didn''t even know that I comprehended true intent. Why would there be a name?"


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll confer you a name." Ye Yuan said.


    Logically speaking, one''s true intent should be named by themselves. This request from Ye Yuan was rather presumptuous.


    But Long Tang knew that Ye Yuan was not a rash person. These words surely had a deeper meaning.


    Thinking about it, Long Tang nodded and said, "That''s all I could ask for."


    "Earlier, I saw that your fist intent easily shattered the miniature fire domain that your opponent constructed. Its might is extremely powerful. I think . . . just call it ''Breaking Fantasy''!" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "Breaking Fantasy Fist Intent . . ." Long Tang ruminated on this name. His eyes slowly became clear, and he said joyfully, "Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Brother Ye for bestowing the name!"


    Breaking Fantasy. These two words contained all of his comprehension! It also pointed out the direction he had to walk from today onwards!

 Chapter 259: Instant Victory!

    Chapter 259: Instant Victory!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In the second round, Ye Yuan''s opponent was No. 49.


    Due to Ye Yuan winning the first round, he automatically entered the victor''s group.


    The martial artists in the victor''s group established the position of core disciples.


    While the disciples who were defeated in the first round must undergo the duel in the loser''s group. The loser group likewise had to continue competing nonstop, all the way until five failures were produced in the final round. They would undergo a match with the top five outer-sect disciples!


    The victors continue to retain core disciple status while the losers would automatically be eliminated and become an outer-sect disciple.


    The victor''s group had to continue competing similarly, all the way until the top three were born.


    The top three disciples would carry out a duel with the last three among the elite disciples. The victor would advance to elite disciple, and the loser became core disciple.


    Such a cruel ranking system, no matter how talented you were, you would also not dare to slack off at all.


    Just ease up slightly, and you would be surpassed by others.


    Even a loafer type core disciple like Ceng Yu would also spend large amounts of time to cultivate. Or else there would come a day where they would be eliminated.


    If Ye Yuan won this round again, he would enter the top 50!


    Do not look at how there were 200 core disciples. All of those who could win two consecutive rounds and enter the top 50 were all formidable people.


    People who try to fish in muddied waters would basically be eliminated in the second round even if they were lucky enough to past the first round.


    Ye Yuan''s opponent was called Wang Dong, an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    The Pill Barracks'' Yang Hao was similarly at the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. But his strength was not even worth mentioning when compared to Wang Dong.


    Wang Dong''s strength was in the upper tier in the Earth Barracks. Other than those Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm experts, Wang Dong was basically considered the strongest.


    In the last grand competition, Wang Dong had a crushing defeat in the second round.


    Now that his strength had another substantial improvement, the goal he set for himself this grand competition was to enter the third round!


    When he saw the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Ye Yuan opposite, he could not help feeling greatly relieved.


    This was truly a gift from heaven!


    "Eh? You''re No. 52?" Wang Dong suddenly recalled. Wasn''t his opponent the No. 52 who was the first to win in the first round?


    Ye Yuan knew what he was thinking about and could not help chuckling and saying, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I be standing here?"


    Wang Dong could not help being greatly astonished as he said, "Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength. How were you the first to pass the first round? To actually be faster than Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu?"


    "My opponent just happened to have fought with me a few days ago. He knew that he was not my match, so he directly admitted defeat," Ye Yuan did not conceal it and answered honestly.


    "Ah? So that''s the case. Then your luck is really too good! I reckon that your opponent was one of the weakest few from the Human Barracks, right? Otherwise, with your strength, it would be very hard to win." Wang Dong involuntarily sighed emotionally.


    He was sighing that Ye Yuan''s luck was good and also that his own luck was good.


    To be able to meet such an opponent in the second round, wasn''t this heaven''s will?


    Wang Dong could not help fantasizing that if his luck was slightly better and the opponent he bumped into during the third round was slightly weaker than him, perhaps he could even enter the fourth round!


    This would be a historic moment in his life!


    Ye Yuan''s name was already wide-spread among the Pill Hall elders. But among the core disciples, he was not actually all that famous.


    While there were elders finding him non-stop these few days, Ye Yuan had never shown his face. Hence, there were not many people who really recognized Ye Yuan among the core disciples.


    Of course, even if Wang Dong knew Ye Yuan, it would not affect his judgment of Ye Yuan''s strength.


    Trash like Ceng Yu, Wang Dong could settle him with one hand. Although this junior apprentice brother''s strength was incredible and could cross ranks to battle, he was clearly still a little too unskilled to try to cross four minor realms to fight him.


    How could Ye Yuan not know Wang Dong''s little scheme? He did not expose it and just said with a smile, "Yeah. Luck is indeed not bad."


    The other party was happy that his luck was good. How was Ye Yuan not filled with emotions with his good luck too?


    There were a number of rounds for this sect grand competition. The opponents at the back would become increasingly stronger. If he directly bumped into an expert, the exhaustion would be huge.


    Those peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and half-step Crystal Formation Realm opponents were not so easy to defeat.


    And presently, Ye Yuan''s goal was none other than Tian Yu and the other two.


    Right at this moment, Elder Feng''s voice echoed once again, "Round two begins now!"


    Ye Yuan and Wang Dong saluted each other. The second round officially began!


    After saluting, Wang Dong did not move. He stood with his hands behind his back and said generously, "Junior Apprentice Brother, make a move first. I''m afraid that after I make a move, you won''t have the chance anymore."


    Perhaps he felt somewhat apologetic for coming across such a weak foe, Wang Dong felt that Ye Yuan should attack first.


    Ye Yuan did not expect Wang Dong to be so generous to pass the initiative to him. He could not help being stupefied as he asked, "You sure?"


    Wang Dong nodded. "Of course! I, Wang Dong, never go back on my words!"


    Ye Yuan said uncertainly, "Then, I won''t be courteous."


    As his voice fell, Ye Yuan''s figure instantly transformed into nine.


    "Nine Swords Stance!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. Nine streaks of swordlight flew out disorderly and headed straight for Wang Dong.


    Wang Dong still had the bearing of an expert in the beginning, but when he saw the nine sword beams blotting out the skies and earth as they flew over, he immediately cried bitterly.


    If he took the initiative, he could still tussle with Ye Yuan for a while.


    But how could Wang Dong ward off Ye Yuan''s big killing move from a defensive position?


    One had to know when Ye Yuan was still at the Essence Qi Realm back then, he once used this move to force Yuan Fei back!


    Now that Ye Yuan was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, how could the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm Wang Dong defend against the might of this stance?


    Wang Dong dodged three sword beams and used his weapon to block two sword beams before finally being hit by the sixth sword beam.


    Then, the seventh, eighth, and ninth sword beam opened up wounds on his body like easily breaking a dead branch from a tree. The enormous impact directly sent him flying out of the platform.


    If not for Ye Yuan showing mercy, he would already be a corpse now.


    In a twinkle, from the time Ye Yuan struck to Wang Dong flying out, not even a breath of time had passed.


    Crushing with one blow! Instant victory!


    "Platform No. 49, No. 52 wins!" Elder Feng''s voice was the first to sound out again.


    "No way? Who is this No. 52? Why is he the first to win again?"


    "If the first round was luck, then how do you explain the second round? Just where did this unknown No. 52 pop out from?"


    "Too peculiar! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er haven''t won yet, and this No. 52 won already?"


    Ye Yuan''s victory caused another uproar.


    Tian Yu''s expression fell slightly, and the sword in his hands accelerated.


    After three moves, Tian Yu sent his opponent flying.


    Victory!


    Tian Yu''s foe in the second round was a Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. His strength was quite good. He forcibly hung on until the tenth blow before being defeated.


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s victory in one move, he was naturally much slower.


    On Platform No. 2, a graceful silhouette danced along with the wind.


    But when she heard Elder Feng''s voice, her movements clearly lagged for an instant.


    Immediately after, only to see that lithe figure speed up multiple times!


    Similarly, after three moves, Tang Yu-er won!

 Chapter 260: Unexpected Opponent

    Chapter 260: Unexpected Opponent


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    If would be fine if Elder Feng did not call out, but since he did, it became tragic for those disciples who were challenging the top 10.


    Hearing this voice, the top 10 disciples'' combat power soared vertically like they were on stimulants!


    This was the second round. The opponents faced by the top 10 would not be too strong.


    Once they erupted, how could ordinary disciples withstand it? With a one and two count, they were all defeated.


    On Platform No. 1 and the adjacent Platform No. 2, the aloof Tang Yu-er took a rare trip over to Platform No. 1 and started chatting with Tian Yu.


    "Tian Yu, after the first round ended, I think I saw you go and look at the other matches?"


    Tang Yu-er had always wanted to surpass Tian Yu and viewed him as her sole rival. Hence, she never called him Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu.


    Tian Yu was currently recuperating with his eyes shut. Seeing that Tang Yu-er posed a question, he opened his eyes and looked at her, saying with a faint smile, "No. 52 is an interesting opponent. Perhaps, he will become the greatest dark horse in this grand competition! Junior Apprentice Sister Yu-er, you have to be careful."


    Honestly speaking, Tian Yu originally still looked down on Ye Yuan a little. But upon hearing that Ye Yuan comprehended the elementary form of true intent, this underestimation was naturally put away.


    All those who could comprehend the elementary form of true intent were remarkable geniuses!


    Furthermore, crossing ranks to battle were as easy as eating and drinking after comprehending true intent.


    He already learned from Elder Feng about Ye Yuan''s opponent this round. Although Wang Dong''s strength was not much, to be instantly defeated by Ye Yuan also indicated many issues from one side!


    Ye Yuan truly had the qualifications to sit and debate about Dao with him!


    Surprise flickered across Tang Yu-er''s eyes. She had never seen Tian Yu with such fighting intent.


    Didn''t that mean that Tian Yu was very much looking forward to fighting with that mysterious No. 52?


    But, was this possible?


    Everyone was clear on the strength of these sect disciples long ago. Those who could have emerged would have already emerged. Why would they wait until today?


    Could this No. 52 be new?


    With Tang Yu-er''s strength and status, her eyes would forever be fixated on the position of elite disciple only. As for whatever disciple that was new to the sect, she could not even be bothered to follow. She naturally did not know Ye Yuan and Long Tang.


    Except, how could newcomer disciples possibly be Tian Yu''s match?


    If a new half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert came, it was impossible for her to not hear anything about it, right?


    Tian Yu did not elaborate on his words, and Tang Yu-er remained puzzled.


    "You know this No. 52''s identity? Who is he?" Tang Yu could not help asking curiously.


    "He''s called Ye Yuan. As for what kind of person he is, I''m not sure either. But I believe that you and I will know very soon. To be able to defeat Wang Dong instantly, he might be a formidable foe to us!" Tian Yu said coolly.


    Tang Yu-er''s pretty eye became intent as she revealed an astonishment look.


    She had also suspected previously whether or not this No. 52 was lucky and bumped into rookies.


    Tang Yu-er knew Wang Dong''s name as well. His strength was exceptional among the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realms. To be able to instantly kill Wang Dong, he most likely had the strength to clash with her!


    "Alright. Go back and rest well. Adjust your condition to its peak! This grand competition will be more interesting than any others in the past!" Tian Yu said to Tang Yu-er with a faint smile.


    . . . . . .


    At the same time, many people were speculating who this No. 52 was. Some who were acquainted with Wang Dong went up to him.


    "Wang Dong, I remember that you''re No. 49? Then was your opponent No. 52? Who is this No. 52, to actually be the first person to win for two consecutive rounds?"


    Wang Dong had a gloomy face as he said, "How would I know who he is? Either way, his age is not old; younger than both you and I. Should be a newcomer. But his strength is absolutely formidable! In my opinion . . . he can at least enter the top 10!"


    That person had an incredulous look when he heard that and said, "Are you joking?! Who can shake the position of the top 10? You aren''t finding an excuse for your loss, right?"


    Wang Dong snickered coldly when he heard that and said, "Watch if you don''t believe! Putting aside other things, just based solely on that ultimate move of his, to instantly transform into nine silhouettes and unleash nine sword beams, each stronger than the other! Just based on that one move, he can also enter the top 10!"


    That disciple was greatly startled when he heard that and said, "No way? So incredible? Can it be a newly emerged half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert?"


    Wang Dong shook his head and said, "That''s a no. He''s only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm."


    That disciple burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Wang Dong, did he bash your brain? Did you lose to a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? And you even say that he can enter the top 10?"


    The corner of Wang Dong''s mouth twitched, but he said disdainfully, "Didn''t you lose in the second round too? Since you''ve nothing to do anyway, follow me to watch that No.52 compete and you''ll see."


    Having said that, that disciple became even more curiously and naturally would not reject. Hence, he went to find Ye Yuan''s competition platform together with Wang Dong.


    . . . . . .


    The third round was 50 going to 25. If one passed the third round, it would also mean that they could enter the top 25 rankings!


    Although there were some who were occasionally rather lucky earlier and encountered weaker opponents, after two rounds of filtering, the disciples who entered the third round were all rather powerful.


    Even if there were those with weaker strength who were fortunate enough to pass two rounds, the possibility of passing the third round again would be virtually nil.


    This third round was actually a dividing line. To be able to pass the third round meant that they belonged to the top echelon among the core disciples.


    While other disciples were no less outstanding, compared to the disciples who passed the third round, the disparity became very obvious.


    After two rounds of filtering, many disciples who were defeated no longer needed to take part in matches anymore. Quite a number of them gathered at some popular platforms to spectate the upcoming matches.


    And currently, the platform where Ye Yuan was about to start his match was already surrounded by many disciples. This made him somewhat baffled.


    Ye Yuan thought that the most popular platform should be Tian Yu''s. Why were there so many people gathered over on his side?


    Could it be that his opponent was very popular, that was why it attracted everyone to watch?


    Speaking of which, Ye Yuan''s opponent this round was No. 14. It should be an extremely powerful foe.


    "Hey, did you guys hear? This No.52 is that newcomer disciple who snatched Ceng Yu''s points right after entering the sect. He''s called Ye Yuan!"


    "En, I heard it too! I really did not think that a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm could actually pass two consecutive round! Furthermore, be the first to win! This fellow is truly perverse!"


    "Tch, still Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm? He was Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm long ago! Don''t you know yet? After he snatched Ceng Yu''s points, he went to the A-grade cultivation rooms to enter seclusion for five days. After he exited, he was Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "What? There''s really such a thing? Incredible! Truly incredible! I didn''t think that such a monster actually entered the sect this time! How are we going to survive? But, even if he broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, how was it possible to clear two rounds consecutively with such strength? Moreover, be the first to win?"


    "Hehe, weren''t we competing earlier? Now, I want to take a good look at what areas this No.52 surpasses others in! Do you know who his opponent this time is?"


    "En? Who?"


    "This opponent, No. 14, is the number one figure in the Earth Barracks, Zhang Jing!"

 Chapter 261: Purple Yang Clear Howl!

    Chapter 261: Purple Yang Clear Howl!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Do not look at how Ceng Cheng and Qiu Peng caused huge scenes normally. Zhang Jing sat firmly on the top seat of the Earth Barracks the whole time.


    Zhang Jing was also the disciple who arranged for Ye Yuan to stay in the Earth Barracks on the day he entered the sect.


    When Ye Yuan saw Zhang Jing on the platform, he was involuntarily dumbstruck. Zhang Jing was similarly stunned when he saw Ye Yuan.


    The two stared at each other speechlessly.


    After a while, Zhang Jing looked at Ye Yuan with a bitter smile and said, "I really didn''t expect the mysterious No. 52 to actually be you!"


    "En? What do you mean? When did I become the mysterious No. 52?" Ye Yuan felt baffled after listening to Zhang Jing''s words.


    Zhang Jing was stupefied and said, "You''ve already become everyone''s focal point after two rounds of competition. Don''t you know that? Look at all those seniors and juniors below the platform."


    "Ugh, I thought that they came here for Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang." Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    "Why would they? In the past competitions, it was always Platform No. 1 which won first. But you won the previous two rounds at virtually the first moment. It was tough for others to not pay attention!" Zhang Jing sighed admiringly.


    Zhang Jing never imagined that this mysterious No. 52 was actually Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm currently. To actually be able to win with ease in the previous two rounds, how great was his strength?


    Even though he was five minor realms higher than Ye Yuan, Zhang Jing unknowingly became rather guilty.


    Thinking back to how he still felt superior in front of Ye Yuan, it was ludicrous thinking about it now.


    However, Zhang Jing was also a magnanimous person. He felt at ease very quickly.


    Recalling Senior Apprentice Brother Mo''s actions back then, he actually noticed that there were some abnormalities.


    Most likely, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo already knew at that time that Ye Yuan''s strength had possibly already reached the level of Heaven Barracks, right? Otherwise, why would he hesitate on where to place Ye Yuan?


    However, didn''t that mean that when Ye Yuan was at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he was already not his match?


    This . . . was really something which made people miserable!


    Listening to Zhang Jing, Ye Yuan came to a realization. "So that''s the case! I thought that Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang has good relations with people and that they came to watch Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang."


    "Haha, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is teasing me. How could I have such capabilities? Actually, in past competitions, the place which had the most people gathering around was Junior Apprentice Sister Tang Yu-er''s platform. But the people below our platform this time is likely going to surpass hers," Zhang Jing also said smilingly.


    Within sects, the ones who attained first were the masters. Although Zhang Jing was older than Tang Yu-er, his strength was much poorer. Hence, he also addressed the other party as senior apprentice sister.


    Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that and said, "I hope that Senior Apprentice Sister Tang Yu-er doesn''t blame me for snatching her limelight."


    While talking, the third round officially began.


    After both parties saluted, Zhang Jing said, "When I saw Junior Apprentice Brother Ye back then, I really misjudged. To think that junior''s strength was actually so formidable! However, I''ll do my best later. I hope that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye won''t be stingy with guidance!"


    Ye Yuan naturally hoped strongly for this. He smiled and said, "I dare not. This Younger Brother will obviously go all out as well!"


    "Please!"


    "Please!"


    The pair each gestured to begin as their auras rose abruptly!


    "Purple Yang Clear Howl!"


    The sword in Zhang Jing''s hand shuddered violently and gave off waves of low cries. Countless azure sword qi extended out, heading straight for Ye Yuan!


    Right away, it was an extremely fierce and sharp move!


    "No way? Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang unleashed the Purple Yang Clear Howl right away. Isn''t this too ludicrous?"


    "Such a fierce and sharp sword qi, has Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang already trained the Purple Yang Clear Howl to the Great Circle Realm? The Purple Yang Clear Howl is an extremely formidable move in the second layer of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang actually trained it to the Great Circle Realm already without anyone knowing it. Truly worthy of being the top seat of the Earth Barracks!"


    "Just based on this move, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang might squeeze into the top 10 and become a Heaven Barracks disciple!"


    "Hehe, that''s really hard to say. That bunch of sickos in the Heaven Barracks can''t be measured using common sense. Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang is improving, but will they remain stagnant?"


    "Now that you mentioned it, you''re right! However, can this No. 52 receive this Purple Yang Clear Howl?"


    "This . . . Probably going to be hard? No. 52 is incredible, but both you and I know the power of this Great Circle Realm Purple Yang Clear Howl. Most likely, even that perverse bunch in the top 10 would choke on this!"


    This was Ye Yuan''s first time facing an Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art sword move face on!


    Him directly comprehending the sword intent on the Nine Heavens Road was equivalent to having a thorough understanding of this sword art. He did not need to exchange for the cultivation method in the sect.


    In reality, the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was a set of cultivation methods. It encompassed many martial techniques in it!


    The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art that the Tranquil Cloud Sect had comprised of a total of four layers. Each layer corresponded to a major realm!


    And several sets of sword martial skills were included in each layer of the cultivation method.


    This Purple Yang Clear Howl was an extremely powerful martial technique in the second layer. The training difficulty was high, and the power was incredible!


    To have been able to train this martial technique to the Great Circle Realm showed Zhang Jing''s remarkable strength.


    Except, it was still somewhat lacking to use this move to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan''s realm was way lower than Zhang Jing''s, when talking about comprehension towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent, Zhang Jing could not even catch up to Ye Yuan by whipping his horse!


    That final sword on the Nine Heavens Road was the full comprehension You Wuya had towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent!


    Ye Yuan fully comprehending that sword meant that he already stood on the same heights as You Wuya in terms of understanding of this sword intent!


    This Purple Yang Clear Howl move from Zhang Jing was at most the standards of the first 10% of the last 333 steps on the Nine Heavens Road. The difference with the final sword move was too far.


    Of course, Zhang Jing''s advantage was his cultivation realm!


    Unleashing a sword move with peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, even if it were a trash-like move, the damage to a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm would also be enormous; let alone the fact that the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art itself was extremely powerful!


    Now . . . it was only to see Ye Yuan spinning around and sweep his sword horizontally!


    What was released was not a single sword beam, but countless beams of sword qi!


    In the air, beams of azure sword qi clashed with faint yellow sword qi. After each streak of sword qi collided, it would turn into nothing!


    After several breaths, not a single one of the countless sword qi released by Zhang Jing actually bypassed Ye Yuan''s sword qi to reach Ye Yuan!


    "My . . . My God! H-How did he do it? No. 52 only unleashed one sword strike! The Purple Yang Clear Howl was broken just like this?"


    "Too inconceivable! Did you see that? That sword strike from No. 52 was not any even a technique. It was just a simple slash! But how can that sword strike possibly produce so much sword qi?"


    "Ah! I can''t take it anymore! I can''t take it anymore! This No. 52 is too perverse! The Purple Yang Clear Howl is ranked third among all the moves in the second layer, and it was actually broken by him so easily!"

 Chapter 262: Empty Alleys

    Chapter 262: Empty Alleys


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Purple Lighting Azure Frost!"


    On Platform No. 1, Tian Yu gave a low cry, and his opponent was defeated.


    The third round, the announcement of No. 1 winning was finally the first to sound out. Except, there was already nobody paying heed to such things.


    Even Tian Yu himself was not in the mood to listen to this voice. He walked down the platform directly and headed towards the platform where Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing were facing off.


    "Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens!"


    On Platform No. 2, Tang Yu-er similarly cried out, the red silk in her hands bounded up her foe in a peculiar manner, beating him down easily.


    The same thing happened to many disciples ranked in the top 10. They all wanted to rush to watch the platform that No. 52 was at. Just what kind of god was this mysterious No. 52?!


    . . . . . .


    At this very moment, the competition for elite disciples also reached the white-hot stage!


    The number of elite disciples was forever fixed like core disciples. Except, there were only 20 elite disciples at all times!


    These 20 people could be said to be the future hope of the sect!


    The competition for elite disciples was different from core disciples. Every grand competition, they all fought in revolving battles!


    20 people, that was also to say that each person had to experience 19 revolving battles!


    Whoever won the most matches at the end would be rank one. And the people in the bottom three rankings had to undergo a final match with the top three core disciples to determine who stays and who leaves.


    On Platform No. 3, a youth dressed in martial outfit unleashed a flurry of fist silhouettes, beating his opponent until he could only ward off the blows and without the slightest strength to retaliate!


    Only to see him withdraw his fist momentum and give a low cry, "Boundless Tyrant Fist!"


    Only to hear a boom, his opponent was sent flying out of the platform.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu, your fist art is really becoming more and more powerful! It''s simply flawless!" the youth who was defeated grumbled.


    When he was on the platform earlier, that Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu was incomparably tyrannical with an aura that disdained all life.


    But currently, Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu was meek like the boy-next-door.


    The before and after was huge. It was hard for others to believe that they were the same person.


    This Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu was called Ti Wujiu, the well-deserved leader of the elite disciples!


    This person was normally very easy to get along with. He did not put on any airs of a senior. Disciples who did not know him simply could not imagine that he was the leader of the elite disciples.


    But once the battle began, it was like Ti Wujiu was possessed by the god of war, going berserk on his opponent until they could not catch their breath.


    From the start of the grand competition until now, more than half of the matches for the elite disciples had passed. Ti Wujiu was number one in terms of battle results with complete victories.


    In reality, this was like a common occurrence to him.


    The one who fought with him just now was called Cheng Wu. His strength was somewhat lacking among the elite disciples. Now that he lost battles repeatedly today, barring no accidents, he should be one of the bottom three placings.


    Seeing Cheng Wu grumbled, Ti Wujiu smiled warmly and said, "How can there be a flawless fist art? It''s just that you didn''t find them. If it was Senior Apprentice Brother Mo or Senior Apprentice Brother Xin, this fist art of mine would be full of flaws."


    The corner of Cheng Wu''s mouth twitched slightly as he said, "They are both personal disciples who entered the sect much earlier than Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu. In future, Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu''s accomplishments will surely not be beneath theirs! Furthermore, Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu tread up the Dao of using fist arts. To have such accomplishments is truly hard to come by!"


    Mo Yuntian, Xin Lie, these people were accepted as personal disciples by the hall head. Although they were still disciples in title, they actually did not need to participate in the competition between disciples anymore.


    What personal disciples had to do was to follow their master to cultivate, and they would frequently be sent out to carry out some missions.


    And their status in the sect was actually no longer inferior to ordinary elders.


    Ti Wujiu chuckled and did not continue with this topic. Instead, he laughed and said, "Little Wu, you seem to be slacking off a little recently. You actually lost so many matches this grand competition."


    Cheng Wu had a bitter face when he heard that and said, "Sigh! Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu, it''s really not that I''m slacking, but because all of you improve too quickly! I already can''t quite follow your footsteps! I won''t talk about that any longer. Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu, there happens to be some time for us now; can I trouble you to accompany me to the core disciples'' area to take a look and scout out the enemy? I want to see to what extent Tian Yu that boy has improved."


    Ti Wujiu had a mild temperament and did not reject. He nodded his head and went with Cheng Wu to the core disciples'' area.


    "En? What''s the matter? Don''t tell me it has all ended? Where did all the people go to?"


    Cheng Wu came over to take a look. All the platforms were empty, leaving only one platform full of people beneath it.


    It actually gave people a feeling of empty alleys!


    "En? It''s rather odd. Who''s fighting on that platform? Why would there be so many onlookers?" Ti Wujiu was also curious.


    "Come, let''s go over and look too!" Cheng Wu said.


    When the two approached, Ti Wujiu''s gaze involuntarily turned sharp!


    On the platform, sword light radiated as sword qi ran wild!


    A youth who looked very unfamiliar was locked in battle with the Earth Barracks'' Zhang Jing!


    The most frightening thing was that the youth was actually only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm! But his attainments in sword art were so great that it simply took people''s breath away in amazement!


    To be able to fight so fiercely as a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm against a peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm showed the might of this youth!


    When did such a freakish youth appear in the Tranquil Cloud Sect?


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu, quickly look, Tian Yu is also there watching the fight! Tang Yu-er and Luo Chengfeng too! They are all actually watching this young man''s competition!" Cheng Wu exclaimed in shock like he discovered a new continent.


    Ti Wujiu nodded and said, "I wonder who this young man is. A Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually has such combat strength!"


    The people below the stage were already long mesmerized from watching.


    Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing already fought for over a hundred rounds and had yet to determine the victor!


    Ye Yuan''s understanding towards sword intent made everyone feel utterly ashamed of their inadequacy.


    No matter how unpredictable the sword moves Zhang Jing unleashed were, Ye Yuan could easily resolve them.


    However, Zhang Jing''s strength was also really very strong. Ye Yuan grasped an opportunity in between to display the Nine Swords Stance.


    Except, it was too rushed at that time. The power of the Nine Swords Stance did not achieve the most ideal outcome.


    Zhang Jing actually barely dodged the nine streaks of sword light!


    After that time, Zhang Jing broke out in cold sweat all over his body. Ever since then, he was abnormally cautious and absolutely did not give Ye Yuan any chance to display the Nine Swords Stance.


    Right now, Zhang Jing''s powerful performance was displayed in its entirety. Ye Yuan could not find any chance at all!


    Just like this, both parties sunk into a fierce exchange. All of Zhang Jing''s attacks had completely no effect, but he did not give Ye Yuan any chance to attack either. The two people actually fought all the way until now like this!


    All the matches had already ended, leaving only this match!


    However, the audience below the stage was not at all irritated. The majority of them cultivated the incomplete Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art and were very sensitive to sword intent.


    From the start of the battle until now, watching Ye Yuan''s unbelievably profound sword intent, the crowd all felt that they reaped no little benefits!


    Ye Yuan''s sword intent originally contained the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent within. Although these disciples felt that it was extremely abstruse, they could more or less perceive some things.

 Chapter 263: Admitting Defeat

    Chapter 263: Admitting Defeat


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Tian Yu, is this No. 52 using the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art? Why does it look like it seems to be, yet not really so?" Tang Yu-er''s pretty face was full of doubt.


    Tian Yu''s eyes were filled with astoundment at the moment!


    In terms of understanding towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, he had no equal among the younger generation.


    Although Ti Wujiu was ranked one among the elite disciples, what he specialized in was fist techniques, and not the sect''s foundations, the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art.


    In terms of this cultivation skill, Tian Yu was number one ever since returning from the Nine Heavens Road!


    It was just that due to cultivation realm limitations, his strength could not compare to elite disciples yet.


    Except, when he saw Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing''s faceoff, he actually had a deeply profound sensation.


    That sort of sensation was as if he was facing that final sword on the Nine Heavens Road. No, it seemed to be even more profound than that sword!


    Could this be the trudging out your own path that Ye Yuan referred to?


    Tian Yu shook his head and said, "I don''t know either! I only know that his understanding of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art has already reached the stage of having it at his fingertips! Since he started fighting with Zhang Jing until now, he did not even use any move, but it is formless winning moves!"


    "How is he compared to you?" Tang Yu-er asked.


    Tang Yu-er was not a sword cultivator and was not very sensitive towards sword intent.


    Tian Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Simply no way of comparing."


    Tang Yu-er did not notice Tian Yu''s expression and said in relief, "That''s what I said. How can a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm possibly be your match? Zhang Jing and he are pretty much evenly matched. There''s simply no comparison to you!"


    To a proud child of heaven, their greatest fear was nothing more than being replaced by a newcomer like Ye Yuan who suddenly appeared. Even a great beauty like Tang Yu-er was not immune to it.


    For geniuses like Tian Yu and Tang Yu-er, it had only been them surpassing others. Since when were they surpassed by others?


    Now that a mysterious No. 52 suddenly popped out, the impact it had on them was enormous.


    Instinctively, Tang Yu-er did not wish that Ye Yuan could surpass her.


    Even if she was surpassed, it at least had to be after some time later.


    Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Being surpassed by him like this in the first grand competition after he entered the sect was too humiliating!


    This was not that Tang Yu-er was narrow-minded but human nature.


    Not just her, but Tian Yu, Luo Chengfeng, and the rest actually also had this mentality. Otherwise, why would they think to finish their own match to come over and watch the fight?


    Tian Yu was stunned, then laughed wryly and said, "That''s not it! Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Sword Dao is way stronger than mine! Don''t look at how I''m stronger than Zhang Jing; if it were me on that platform right now, the battle situation would not be any better than his."


    Tang Yu-er''s eyes went wide as she said disbelievingly, "How''s that possible? You''re clearly way stronger than Zhang Jing!"


    Tang Yu-er''s meaning was that Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing''s strength were roughly the same while Tian Yu was much stronger than Zhang Jing. In that case, Tian Yu''s strength was naturally much stronger than Ye Yuan''s.


    Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan can fight Zhang Jing to a draw as a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, why do you think that is the case?"


    Tang Yu-er thought about it and said, "It should be his sword intent, right?"


    Tian Yu nodded and said, "I''m stronger than Zhang Jing because my comprehension towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art is deeper than his. But Ye Yuan''s understanding towards sword intent is way stronger than mine. Regardless of what sword move I use, it will be easily resolved by him! How do I fight like this?"


    Tang Yu-er said reluctantly, "Doesn''t that mean that everyone who cultivates the Sword Dao in the sect isn''t his match?"


    Tian Yu said, "At least among the disciples, that''s the case!"


    "This . . . How is this possible? Humph! I don''t believe it! I must defeat him!" Tang Yu-er refused to concede defeat.


    Tian Yu chuckled and did not say much. Honestly speaking, Tian Yu was also very much looking forward to the clash between Tang Yu-er and Ye Yuan.


    Tang Yu-er did not cultivate sword dao. No matter how strong Ye Yuan''s sword intent was, it could not affect Tang Yu-er''s performance.


    Tang Yu-er had half-step Crystal Formation Realm strength. How should Ye Yuan resolve that?


    . . . . . .


    On the platform, Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing''s fight had already progressed to a white-hot stage.


    Zhang Jing suddenly withdrew his sword and stood there, saying to Ye Yuan, "Wait!"


    Ye Yuan similarly stopped and said, "What guidance does Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang have?"


    Zhang Jing laughed calmly and said, "I didn''t think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s Sword Dao attainments were actually so great! Zhang Jing admits defeat! Next, I''ll unleash my strongest sword. If Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can receive it, then this Zhang will directly concede!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Please go ahead, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang!"


    Zhang Jing shut his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. He raised the sword in his hand.


    All of a sudden, purple lightning flashed around Zhang Jing''s sword. An extremely powerful aura rippled out!


    "It''s Purple Lightning Azure Frost! Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang mastered the Purple Lightning Azure Frost!" someone below the stage said agitatedly.


    "This is the second strongest move in the second layer. Very few people in the sect can comprehend it! Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang having comprehended the Purple Lightning Azure Frost should be charging for the top 10 this time!"


    "But . . . is this move effective against No. 52?"


    ". . . . . ."


    Collective speechlessness!


    Ye Yuan''s sword art which lifted the heavy as if it were light already shook everyone''s heart!


    Such a long fighting duration, Ye Yuan gave everyone a feeling that he could break apart any kind of sword move no matter what!


    He was undefeatable!


    "Purple Lightning Azure Frost!" Zhang Jing gave a low cry. Purple-colored lightning mixed within azure colored sword beams shot towards Ye Yuan.


    But the so-called strongest move in Zhang Jing''s mouth really did not pose much of a threat to Ye Yuan.


    All of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art''s sword moves were ineffective to Ye Yuan!


    Unless they were like Mo Yuntian, a martial artist who was a major realm higher than Ye Yuan. That way, they could use absolute strength to crush Ye Yuan.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan made a stabbing move straight on, receiving this attack directly.


    Under everyone''s stupefied gazes, the violent purple lightning and azure sword qi entered Ye Yuan''s sword tip and vanished.


    The strongest move actually did not even stir a single wave!


    Zhang Jing was not as dejected as imagined. Instead, he gave a faint smile and said, "I lost!"


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "Thanks for giving way, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang!"


    "Not at all! I didn''t give way at all! I already unleashed everything I had but could not do anything to you! If our cultivation realms were similar, I reckon that I would also be instantly trounced. I truly did not think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye was actually so formidable!" Zhang Jing said with a rather emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not follow up.


    Ye Yuan would not be wildly arrogant, but would not humble himself unduly either. If their realms were similar, he could easily defeat Zhang Jing instantly.


    But Ye Yuan naturally would not brag about something like that.


    "I had many gains during this battle. I''ll enter a closed-seclusion while the sensation from the battle earlier is still there! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I wish you all the best in your matches at the back! Farewell!"


    Finishing, Zhang Jing left floatingly without even turning his head back.


    "Platform No. 13, No. 52 win!" Elder Feng''s voice suddenly sounded, shattering the dead quiet scene.


    Ti Wujiu looked at the figure on the platform and said to Cheng Wu with a grin, "Looks like there''s another interesting opponent in this grand competition!"


    Cheng Wu pulled a bitter face and said, "How is this interesting? Why are there more and more freaks!"

 Chapter 264: Dao of Calligraphy!

    Chapter 264: Dao of Calligraphy!

    "Where the hell did this No. 52 pop out from? His sword arts are simply at the peak of perfection!"


    "Isn''t it so? Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang even used the Purple Lightning Azure Frost, but it was completely useless against No. 52!"


    "I heard that he just ascended from the secular world. How could that land of the mundane possibly give birth to such a freak?"


    "I heard that he isn''t even 16 years old yet. Even if he gained enlightenment on the Dao in his mother''s womb, it''s also impossible to reach such an extent, right?"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan defeating Zhang Jing caused a huge commotion among the sect disciples.


    Ye Yuan''s name was very quickly known by all the disciples.


    Ceng Cheng also saw the match between Ye Yuan and Zhang Jing. He rejoiced that he did not find trouble with Ye Yuan back then. Otherwise, he would have lost a great amount of face.


    He only knew now that Ye Yuan teaching his younger brother a lesson did not even count as an appetizer.


    Ye Yuan''s strength could aim for the top 3!


    Ceng Cheng was similarly a sword cultivator. He was deeply aware of Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao''s prowess. Even if Tian Yu up there, he might not gain any advantages.


    If not because Ceng Cheng passed the third round, he also wanted to enter seclusion like Zhang Jing did!


    Ceng Cheng believed that there was quite a number with the same thoughts as him. Among them even included Tian Yu!


    Ye Yuan did not let any ripples surface on his state of mind because of becoming a celebrity. Because this was not worth mentioning to him.


    With his aptitude, if he could not even catch people''s eyes in a Lower Realm''s tiny sect, then it would be an epic fail.


    Ye Yuan''s opponent in the fourth round was still a sword cultivator disciple. That disciple''s strength was much weaker than Zhang Jing''s. The result need not be said.


    Starting from the fourth round all the way until the top four elites were born, there would be a disciple who fell every round.


    After four rounds of battle, a day passed by just like that.


    The battle on the second day was of the utmost importance. The weak disciples were basically all eliminated during the first stage. Those remaining were all elites among the disciples.


    The battles during the second day were all basically the strong facing the strong! Such a competition was naturally 100% worth watching.


    Ye Yuan''s opponent in the fifth round was a top 10 expert, similarly a sword cultivator disciple.


    In reality, this disciple''s strength was roughly the same as Zhang Jing''s. His Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was likewise trained to the Purple Lightning Azure Frost.


    Originally, Zhang Jing wanted to rely on the Purple Lightning Azure Frost to assail the top 10 this time. But the result was that he was unexpectedly eliminated by Ye Yuan in the third round.


    The outcome was obviously no surprise. After a bout of struggle, Ye Yuan won once more!


    Nobody could have imagined that there would actually be a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm who entered the top seven this grand competition!


    However, there wasn''t really anyone who was unconvinced by this result. This was what Ye Yuan won round after round, without the slightest bit of trickery.


    In between, Ye Yuan defeated several experts whose strengths were sufficient to enter the top 10.


    Ye Yuan was well deserving of the top seven!


    "After winning another opponent, you can enter the top four! Initially, I thought that you would shock everyone in one move the next grand competition. I didn''t think that you would do it now." Long Tang look at Ye Yuan as he sighed emotionally.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re not bad too. To pass through three rounds consecutively with Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. That is already in the top 25!"


    Long Tang showed extraordinary splendor previously in the matches, overcoming all difficulties in succession, and charging all the way to the fourth round before being defeated by Luo Chengfeng.


    Putting Ye Yuan aside, Long Tang was absolutely the biggest dark horse in this competition!


    The might of his Breaking Fantasy Fist Intent virtually swept across all experts below the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Of course, Long Tang''s luck was still considered decent. Before meeting Luo Chengfeng, he did not really encounter any formidable contestants.


    Even so, to have walked to this step with Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, it was absolutely sufficiently strong!


    Long Tang grinned, clearly still very satisfied with this result.


    But after going through this grand competition, he also finally became conscious of how powerful the Breaking Fantasy Fist Intent that he comprehended was.


    Those disciples at a higher realm than him, although they could not compare to like Zhang Jing''s strength, they were absolutely not second-rate.


    To be able to charge into the fourth round among the core disciples where experts roamed like clouds, it unequivocally meant true ability.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, your opponent next round is Luo Chengfeng. I know that your sword intent is powerful, but you should still be careful when encountering him!"


    "En, I know. There are four half-step Crystal Formation Realms in the top 10. But for Luo Chengfeng to be able to beat down two half-step Crystal Formation Realms, his strength is clear at a glance," Ye Yuan nodded and said.


    Ye Yuan was not someone whose eyes were on top of their heads. His mind was very clear.


    At that time, the half-step Crystal Formation Realm Su Yubai could heavily injure Huyan Yong with a single palm until he vomited blood showed the gap between peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and half-step Crystal Formation Realm.


    Huyan Yong had more potential than Su Yubai, and his strength was also greater than ordinary Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Even so, he was still defeated in a single move!


    Although it was because he wanted to save Ye Yuan back then that Huyan Yong had no choice but to clash face on with Su Yubai, this was ample to show how powerful half-step Crystal Formation Realm was!


    And for Luo Chengfeng to suppress two half-step Crystal Formation Realms with peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation showed just what realm his comprehension towards a certain concept had reached!


    "How was it? The match with him? Disclose a little!" Ye Yuan asked with a laugh.


    Long Tang was somewhat surprised as he said, "Haha, I didn''t think that you would actually be concerned about your opponent. I thought that you would not pay attention to this!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can win a hundred battles! I''m not some Deity Realm powerhouse. It''s impossible to sweep across all adversaries."


    Long Tang nodded. He knew that Ye Yuan was very strong, but Ye Yuan''s realm was still too low in the end.


    It was still fine against those ordinary opponents, but he would naturally pay heed to opponents who had a much higher cultivation realm than him and who also had a strong concept comprehension.


    Recalling the match with Luo Chengfeng, a deep dread was reflected in Long Tang''s eyes.


    It was apparent that that match was not some beautiful memory.


    "Strong! Very strong! I didn''t even make it past five moves! Moreover, he didn''t even draw his weapon!" Long Tang said with trepidation.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes showed seriousness. He knew Long Tang''s strength. To be able to defeat him in five moves and not even use his weapon showed just how great Luo Chengfeng''s strength was!


    "En? Then do you know what weapon he uses?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Long Tang nodded and said, "I was rather unresigned, so I asked around fellow disciples afterward before finding out that Luo Chengfeng actually uses a judge pen! And the only one who can force him to use the judge pen is Tian Yu!"


    Surprised, Ye Yuan asked, "En? Why is that? Even Tang Yu-er can''t force his weapon out? But Tang Yu-er''s ranking is above his!"


    Long Tang said, "I was also quite surprised when I heard it at first, but I learned from others that Luo Chengfeng once said that he was a scholar. Unless it was a life and death match, he would not use his judge pen to deal with a woman."


    "Oh? This is an interesting person. That''s also to say that this Luo Chengfeng is walking the Dao of Calligraphy?"


    "That''s right! It''s said that half of his time every day is spent on writing and not cultivation."


    But Ye Yuan grinned and waved his hands when he heard that and said, "Writing is also a form of cultivation! The Dao of Calligraphy, Dao of Sword, and the Dao of Fist are all the same; all are a Great Dao! When cultivated to the limits, the power is exceedingly formidable!"

 Chapter 265: Strange Fight

    Chapter 265: Strange Fight


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Among martial artists, the Dao of Calligraphy was viewed as a mundane Dao, only a Minor Dao; something that scholars in the mundane world practiced.


    Many martial artists practiced the Dao of Calligraphy but failed to have any accomplishments. Many times, years would pass, but the gains would be extremely trivial.


    As time passed, there were fewer and fewer martial artists who practiced the Dao of Calligraphy.


    But in reality, if one had achievements in the Dao of Calligraphy, their strength would be much greater than ordinary martial artists!


    Among the ten supreme Divine Kings in the Divine Realm, there was a Heavenly Book Divine King. As a matter of fact, his strength was actually not weaker than the Spirit Bristle Divine King!


    It could be seen just how formidable the power of this Dao of Calligraphy was when comprehended to its limits!


    Except, wanting to step into the gates of the Dao of Calligraphy was too hard, way too hard! Furthermore, there were exceedingly few powerhouses of this Dao. The inspirations left behind from cultivation methods would naturally be scarce as well.


    The perception and lucky chances required to comprehend a supreme true intent based on one''s own inspiration was way too harsh.


    From Long Tang''s description, it looked like Luo Chengfeng most likely already grasped the basics of the Dao of Calligraphy. It was merely unknown to exactly what extent.


    Now that each of Ye Yuan''s battle was everyone''s focal point, his match with Luo Chengfeng became the main attraction this round!


    This match determined who could enter the top four. If Ye Yuan continued to upset the status quo, then Luo Chengfeng who initially could have firmly entered the top three would be stopped outside the gates of elite disciples!


    In the previous grand competition, Luo Chengfeng emerged out of nowhere, overcoming all challenges along the way, and charging into the top three. He even defeated a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert!


    But sadly, he lost to the last place of the elite disciples and remained among the core disciples.


    Now that several months had passed, Luo Chengfeng''s strength had made great strides forward again. If not for Ye Yuan this dark horse appearing, Luo Chengfeng was extremely likely to make it into the elite disciples.


    Whether or not Ye Yuan''s strength could shake the top three was also everyone''s focal point.


    If Ye Yuan could shake the top three Luo Chengfeng with Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, then the degree of his monstrousness was too terrifying!


    . . . . . .


    This was Ye Yuan''s first time seeing Luo Chengfeng. He was different from his domineering fame. His real person appeared very learned and refined.


    Luo Chengfeng had a silk headdress resembling a ridged roof on his head and azure colored long robes. He looked like a Confucian scholar rushing to take the exams and not a peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    Thinking about it, this kind of disposition was inseparable from him bitterly training calligraphy around the clock. But if anyone were to underestimate him because of this, they would come to regret it.


    Luo Chengfeng slowly drew his judge pen when he saw Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze sharpened slightly, saying, "I heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo doesn''t draw your weapon easily. What''s with this?"


    Luo Chengfeng said nonchalantly, "I saw Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s battle. You''re very strong!"


    The meaning of his words was that Ye Yuan''s might had already reached the extent where he had no choice but to draw his weapon!


    "So that''s the case. Then junior will seek guidance from Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s Dao of Calligraphy. Please!"


    Luo Chengfeng nodded and did not say anything redundant. He lifted his hand and pointed with his judge pen.


    A formless force tore through the air, heading straight for Ye Yuan!


    This move had had a powerful aura and force. It was like the formless force wanted to tear apart space!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s Force Penetrating Paperback! It''s a killing move right after coming up!"


    "With the heaven and earth as the paper, strength breaking 30 thousand catties! This move from Senior Apprentice Brother Luo is much stronger than the previous grand competition!"


    "Yeah! Senior Apprentice Brother Luo cultivated the Dao of Calligraphy. I wonder how Ye Yuan will deal with it?"


    Ye Yuan looked at this Force Penetrating Paperback and smiled. Only to see him wield his sword, pointing in midair too!


    Similarly, a streak of force shot out and collided with Luo Chengfeng''s force!


    Evidently, Luo Chengfeng''s force was a level stronger. It broke apart Ye Yuan''s force, attacking Ye Yuan again.


    It was just that after being blocked by Ye Yuan''s force, the remaining force was of no concern anymore.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was stupefied, including the Luo Chengfeng who used the Force Penetrating Paperback.


    "This . . . What happened just now? Ye Yuan, he . . . actually know the Dao of Calligraphy too? Was his move earlier Force Penetrating Paperback?"


    "Why do I have a sort of misconception that Ye Yuan''s understanding towards this move is actually above Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s!"


    "That''s not a misconception! Ye Yuan''s Force Penetrating Paperback is really stronger than Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s! It''s just that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s realm is much higher than his, that''s why Ye Yuan move cannot beat Luo Chengfeng''s."


    ". . . Doesn''t that mean that Ye Yuan is similarly immune to Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s move? Isn''t this fellow too heaven-defying? It''s fine if his Sword Dao realm was high, but his comprehension towards Calligraphy Dao is also so perverse!"


    That move earlier, Ye Yuan clearly used the sword as a pen to display Force Penetrating Paperback.


    Furthermore, in terms of power, it was actually above Luo Chengfeng! It was just that due to his realm being too low, he lost to Luo Chengfeng.


    Luo Chengfeng maintained that calm and composed appearance, but the seriousness and confusion in his eyes could not be wiped away.


    "This Imperial Law True Book is something I only managed to have some small gains in after bitterly cultivating for 10 years! I heard that you came from the State of Qin, so you should not have had the chance to see this cultivation method. Why is your move stronger than mine?"


    Ye Yuan did not get to open his mouth when Luo Chengfeng suddenly muttered to himself. "Wrong! That wasn''t Force Penetrating Paperback just now! Although it''s extremely alike, it''s missing a trace of Calligraphy Dao rhyme! But . . . but why is the power so strong?"


    The more he pondered, the more incomprehensible Luo Chengfeng felt.


    The comprehension of the Dao of Calligraphy was not built in a day. Luo Chengfeng immersed in this Dao for 10 years before he had some minor gains. That was why his strength in this past two years suddenly soared.


    But just how did Ye Yuan execute that move just now?


    Could it be that he could execute other people''s moves with just a glance? And the power would be greater than them?


    Luo Chengfeng''s gaze condensed and said, "Take another move from me! Iron Picture Silver Hook!"


    Luo Chengfeng''s judge pen drew a stroke in front of his chest. A sharp and fierce force was released once more.


    If the Force Penetrating Paperback earlier was a heavy atmosphere, then this Iron Picture Silver Hook would be abnormally sharp.


    It could attack when advancing and defend when retreating. This Imperial Law True Book was really a powerful cultivation method.


    Ye Yuan chuckled calmly and mimicked Luo Chengfeng''s actions, using the sword as a pen once again. An Iron Picture Silver Hook was unleashed again!


    The same thing happened once more. Luo Chengfeng''s attack was weakened after Ye Yuan''s move, becoming feeble and powerless, and was easily resolved by Ye Yuan.


    Luo Chengfeng''s gaze revealed solemnness.


    Previously, everyone wanted to see how the Sword Dao freak, Ye Yuan, would react when encountering fellow disciples with other concepts.


    But nobody could have imagined that the result would actually be like this!


    Whatever move Luo Chengfeng released, Ye Yuan would actually counterattack with the same move!


    Such a fighting style was too abnormal.


    The audience below the stage looked at each other, their eyes revealing deep astonishment.


    They had participated in many grand competitions before but had never encountered such a strange battle.


    Regardless of what move you use, the other person would give you a dose of your own medicine. How to fight like this?


    The main point was that it was fine if Ye Yuan''s paying back in one''s own coin only looked like the real deal, but his retaliation just had to be incomparably sharp.

    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "W-What''s going on here? Could Ye Yuan really have cultivated the Imperial Law True Book before?"


    "The Imperial Law True Book is extremely hard to train in. The hardships that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo had to suffer to cultivate it to its realm today is something that no one can compare to! But Ye Yuan actually just displayed it so casually!"


    "Could Ye Yuan be one of those people who is born with knowledge? Otherwise, with his age, how is it possible to have such accomplishments on Sword Dao and Calligraphy Dao at the same time?"


    The disciples below the stage did not know calligraphy dao and thought that Ye Yuan was bent on competing in Calligraphy Dao with Luo Chengfeng.


    Only Luo Chengfeng on the stage knew that what Ye Yuan executed was not the Dao of Calligraphy!


    But why did it have such great power if it was not the Dao of Calligraphy?


    Luo Chengfeng was also a proud person. Seeing Ye Yuan repeatedly tearing apart his move through replication, a refusal to concede defeat welled up from the bottom of his heart!


    "Pen Expressing Dragons and Snakes!"


    "Dragon Soar, Phoenix Dance!"


    "Permeating Three Parts Wood!"


    . . . . . .


    One move after another, the powerful force overflowed the platform, causing a colossal upheaval!


    If not for array formations protecting, the platform would already be destroyed several times over.


    But opposite Luo Chengfeng, Ye Yuan similarly used his sword to execute the exact same moves Luo Chengfeng did unhurriedly.


    "Pen Expressing Dragons and Snakes!"


    "Dragon Soar, Phoenix Dance!"


    "Permeating Three Parts Wood!"


    . . . . . .


    Blasts of energy collided together and were obliterated!


    Compared to the match with Zhang Jing yesterday, this match was even more soul-stirring!


    Yesterday''s match, Ye Yuan relied on his impressive sword intent to resolve them one by one.


    But today''s match with Luo Chengfeng, Ye Yuan clearly did not lift heavy like it was light like yesterday. But the exact same moves shook people to their core even more!


    Ye Yuan stood there like a mirror. No matter how Luo Chengfeng used his strength, he could reflect it.


    Such a battle gave Ye Yuan an added portion of power and awe.


    Luo Chengfeng was full of elegance but also became a little pissed currently.


    Each of his moves was stronger than the previous, and also more difficult. He wanted to see whether Ye Yuan could really replicate all of his moves!


    To be able to defeat a half-step Crystal Formation Realm with peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, it could be seen how great Luo Chengfeng''s strength was!


    Towards the end, Luo Chengfeng''s moves were so powerful that it made the audience below the stage feel stifled!


    "To think that after a few months, Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s strength already became so formidable! Compared to the last grand competition, it''s like his entire being was cast off and reborn anew!"


    "Yeah! He was still quite young and tender the previous grand competition. Now, he''s already very mature! Furthermore, he did not break through this half a year. Most likely, he can break through to half-step Crystal Formation Realm anytime, right?"


    "Isn''t that so? At Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s level, they are no longer in a rush to raise cultivation realms! The more concepts they can comprehend in the Spirit Condensation Realm, the greater the benefits in the future!"


    "Yeah. I wonder how Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s present strength is like compared to Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s? It seems like he was initially holding it back for a good confrontation with Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. But the result is that he''s obstructed by Ye Yuan currently."


    "Speaking of which, this Ye Yuan is really so powerful that it''s frightening! If he can break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he can most likely even clash with Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu, right?"


    "Hehe, I didn''t think that such a monster would appear in our sect! No matter what the result of this grand competition is, the next grand competition will be Ye Yuan''s world!"


    A genius like Luo Chengfeng, the duration between the grand competitions was enough for him to improve tremendously.


    For geniuses of their level, what they competed in had always been who improved more. If I improved more than you, that means that I''m more talented!


    Once improvement speed slowed down, they would naturally be eliminated.


    Just like the elite disciple Cheng Wu, his strength was very great, but compared to others, his improvement speed was slower, so he obviously became weaker.


    However, such rapid progress was actually unable to do anything to a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm newbie!


    "Profound Knowledge Akin to Divine Aid!"


    After a tumultuous and violent clash, Luo Chengfeng finally used his greatest trump card!


    This move was something that Luo Chengfeng comprehended only recently. Originally, this was his ultimate trump card meant to deal with Tian Yu, but it was unexpectedly forced out by Ye Yuan.


    Once it was executed, the wind and clouds suddenly changed. Powerful formless energy flooded the platform. A moment of carelessness and the outcome would definitely be being sent flying off the platform!


    But over on the other end, only to see Ye Yuan swing his sword calmly. Profound Knowledge Akin to Divine Aid was released in a twinkle!


    Except, everyone here, including Luo Chengfeng, did not detect that Ye Yuan added a little something extra into this move!


    Essence Energy Ignition!


    It was only to see Ye Yuan''s Profound Knowledge Akin to Divine Aid being executed. The battle situation on the platform became drastically different from before!


    Ye Yuan''s force was like a whirlwind sweeping away scattered clouds, devouring Luo Chengfeng''s attack unceasingly.


    Luo Chengfeng''s face changed. He did not think that such a situation would actually occur.


    Previously, it was always him bombarding wantonly, but this time, Ye Yuan retaliated, catching him completely off-guard!


    The attack after adding Essence Energy Ignition was unbelievably powerful. It was already too late for Luo Chengfeng to want to defend against it!


    He only saw countless blasts of formless energy besieging him, directly breaking through his protective essence energy and sending him flying.


    Luo Chengfeng was only hit down the platform and did not suffer major injuries.


    Ye Yuan had a sense of propriety when attacking and did not ignite too much essence energy.


    Luo Chengfeng adjusted his posture in midair and landed on the ground lightly.


    It was dead silent below the stage. Everyone did not know what to say.


    If this was like the result of Zhang Jing''s match, everybody could still barely accept it. The result of this match was really unexpected!


    The top three core disciples represented virtually the highest point in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    In the minds of all the core disciples, the only ones who could beat the top three people were only the top three, or core disciples.


    Others need not even think about it!


    Because for these three people to be able to occupy this position meant that their improvement speed surpassed all others.


    Once they were shaken off by such a genius, then they would only get cast even further behind.


    Nobody had ever thought that someone in the top three would lose in the hands of a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Just take Luo Chengfeng for example. His strength was sufficient to challenge ordinary Third Level Crystal Formation Realms!


    Someone like Su Yulin was not even Luo Chengfeng''s match.


    Doesn''t this mean that Ye Yuan''s strength could cross an entire major realm to defeat his opponent?


    This . . . This was too inconceivable!


    Luo Chengfeng sighed lightly and cupped his fists towards Ye Yuan and said, "Many thanks for Junior Apprentice Brother Ye showing mercy!"


    "Not at all! Senior Apprentice Brother Luo being able to walk so far on the Dao of Calligraphy, this Junior is full of admiration! In fact, this Junior won with somewhat unorthodox means," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Luo Chengfeng''s face changed slightly, and he could not help voicing the suspicions he had in his heart. "Where did Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s moves come from? Could Junior Apprentice Brother Ye really have trained in the Imperial Law True Book before?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a grin, "Nay! Those moves were all copied after I watched Senior Apprentice Brother Luo''s moves! This is called . . . mimicking concept!"

 Chapter 267: Dragon Among Men

    Chapter 267: Dragon Among Men


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Mimicking concept? What''s that?" Luo Chengfeng could not help being stupefied.


    "My move looks exactly the same as yours. But in reality, when talking about the contents, it differs in thousands of ways. Those moves of mine were mimicked using sword intent. It appeared right, but is really wrong," Ye Yuan said.


    "This . . . Concepts can actually be utilized like this?"


    Luo Chengfeng originally felt that something was off, but could not figure it out the whole time. Now that he heard Ye Yuan talk about it, the other party had actually been using sword intent to clash with him the entire time?


    But even if it was sword intent, wasn''t it too alike?


    No matter how Luo Chengfeng racked his brains, he could not figure out how sword intent could be used to mimic calligraphy intent so skillfully as to be indistinguishable from the original!


    Luo Chengfeng believed that the audience below the stage could not even see through that what Ye Yuan used was sword intent! Only him, someone who immersed himself in the Dao of Calligraphy for so many years could differentiate that minute trace of difference!


    Ignoring other things, just how high was Ye Yuan''s attainments on the Sword Dao?!


    This match was not lost unjustly!


    "Myriad Dao laws, all lead to the same destination! The concepts might be different in endless ways, but they also have many common aspects. Although I have yet to research in depth into the Dao of Calligraphy, I''ve seen before extremely powerful Calligraphy Dao experts, so I''m also rather familiar with the Dao of Calligraphy. Hence, that''s why I can mimic Calligraphy Dao with Sword Dao," Ye Yuan said.


    The extremely powerful calligraphy dao expert that Ye Yuan was talking about was actually the Heavenly Book Divine King.


    Except, no matter how big a hole Luo Chengfeng and the rest excavated in their brain, they could not imagine what kind of existence this so-called extremely powerful calligraphy dao expert was like.


    Ji Qingyun and his father had exceedingly high status in the Divine Realm. They were acquainted with most of the Divine King powerhouses.


    Although the Heavenly Book Divine King was a more eccentric member of the Ten Great Supreme Divine Kings, he used to have pretty good relations with Ye Yuan.


    And Ye Yuan had also witnessed with his own eyes the great battle between the Heavenly Book Divine King and other divine kings. It was truly heaven startling and caused the gods to weep!


    Compare to the Heavenly Book Divine King, this Imperial Law True Book of Luo Chengfeng was simply weak to the max!


    Ye Yuan originally had tremendously high perception and also comprehended a supreme true intent on Sword Dao. In addition to having witnessed the Heavenly Book Divine King''s Dao of Calligraphy before, wanting to mimic Luo Chengfeng''s moves was not something hard.


    Ye Yuan''s factors were much better than Luo Chengfeng''s. If he could not even mimic such a low-level concept, then he would really be too useless.


    "What a fine phrase: myriad Dao laws, all lead to the same destination! Junior Apprentice Brother''s perception is freakishly high. Even though it''s just mimicking my concept, if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s concept isn''t extremely high, I''m afraid that it''s also impossible to have such a battle result. This Luo is fully convinced of my loss!" Finishing, Luo Chengfeng cupped his fists and left.


    Far away, Xiao Jiang and Mo Yuntian stood with their hands behind their backs. They had just watched the battle between Ye Yuan and Luo Chengfeng."


    "Oh, Yuntian, what you said was right. A monster like Ye Yuan, my Tranquil Cloud Sect might not have the destiny to contain him! About his strength, how do you view it?" Xiao Jian suddenly asked.


    Mo Yuntian said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s sword intent most likely already surpassed mine by far too much. It even . . . uh, if my conjectures are right, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye probably already fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art on the Nine Heavens Road!"


    Xiao Jian turned to look at Mo Yuntian. He said with a chuckle, "If he surpassed me, then he surpassed me. What''s there to avoid saying? I wonder which rock this boy jumped out from, to actually have such monstrous talent! In the thousands of years since the establishment of my Tranquil Cloud Sect, there have only been a mere three individuals who can comprehend the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent in its entirety! This boy is only 15 years old and actually comprehended such a profound sword intent fully. Truly remarkable!"


    Mo Yuntian felt slightly awkward as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is a dragon among men. As long as he doesn''t plummet, he will surely be able to ascend to the Divine Realm in the future! Furthermore, I feel that his talent might even be stronger than Forefather You Wuya''s. Even after he arrives in the Divine Realm, he can most likely become the powerhouse of a domain!"


    Xiao Jian nodded. He clearly approved of Mo Yuntian''s view.


    To be able to fully comprehend a true intent at the age of 15, such a freak should not have appeared in the Endless World.


    "Yuntian, did you discover that Ye Yuan''s sword intent seems to have some different aspects?"


    Mo Yuntian was rather surprised. Although he also comprehended much of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent, he was obviously not as sensitive compared to Xiao Jian.


    If they talked about it, the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent that Tian Yu comprehended was even stronger than Mo Yuntian''s!


    Mo Yuntian shook his head. Xiao Jian''s gaze turned stern as he said, "Ye Yuan''s sword intent is not purely Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent! If my conjectures are correct, he even comprehended some other sword intent!"


    "Other sword intent?" Mo Yuntian had a baffled look. He did not know what this meant.


    Xiao Jian nodded and said, "It''s clear that Ye Yuan''s sword intent carries the shadow of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent, but there is a trace of nimbleness and elegance within the sword intent. In my opinion, Ye Yuan most likely already comprehended a type of sword intent before challenging the Nine Heavens Road. When he was challenging the Nine Heavens Road, he comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent too. The most terrifying thing is that he already fused these two types of sword intent into one!"


    Mo Yuntian revealed an astonished look. He knew that Ye Yuan''s sword intent was extremely powerful, but he did not think that Ye Yuan''s sword intent was already powerful to this sort of extent!


    As a sword cultivator, Mo Yuntian was deeply aware that fusing concepts was even harder than comprehending two kinds of concepts!


    "Ye Yuan fully comprehending the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art meant mastering a type of true intent. If he merged another kind of concept, then just what realm is he at?" Mo Yuntian felt that his mind could not quite wrap itself around it.


    Xiao Jian shook his head and said, "I don''t know either! But there is bound to be even higher realms above true intent! Those are realms belonging to the Divine Realm''s powerhouses! I wonder what the other sword intent Ye Yuan fused it with is like. If it''s also a type of true intent, then that would be terrifying!"


    Limited by own worldview, Xiao Jian did not know what realm was above true intent. He himself did not even fully comprehend a type of true intent. But he knew that there was surely even higher realms above true intent. Otherwise, what did those powerhouses in the Divine Realm cultivate?


    Xiao Jian was also not sure what realm fusing two kinds of true intent would reach, because in the Endless World, possessing one type of true intent already meant an immensely powerful expert!


    It was said that there were major powers in the Northern Domain who fused two types of true intent, but as for what kind of realm those major powers were at, Xiao Jian had completely no clue.


    In reality, under most circumstances, it was impossible to produce a supreme true intent even by merging two types of true intent.


    In the Divine Realm, there were many experts who fused two types of concepts, but very few of them could cultivate to the Divine King realm. The reason was that they could not comprehend a supreme true intent!


    Mo Yuntian sucked in a deep breath and said, "This shouldn''t be very likely, right? While Ye Yuan''s talent is astonishing, to merge two types of true intent at this age . . ."


    Mo Yuntian felt that this already exceeded his boundary of understanding and instinctively felt that it was impossible.


    Xiao Jian laughed wryly and said, "Haha, actually, I also feel that this is not very likely. True intent isn''t some cabbage that can be comprehended as you like. Ye Yuan could comprehend the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent primarily is still because he barged into the Nine Heavens Road under coincidence. I reckon that he only added in the nimble and elegance concept that he comprehended before that into the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent."

 Chapter 268: Battling Tang Yu-er!

    Chapter 268: Battling Tang Yu-er!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    As expected, yet also a complete surprise.


    Tian Yu, Tang Yu-er, and Ye Yuan entered the final four, while Luo Chengfeng was tragically eliminated, blocked outside the final four.


    It was expected because Tian Yu and Tang Yu-er entering the final four was within reason.


    But it was a surprise because before this grand competition, nobody would have thought that No. 52 could actually charge into the final four!


    The other person who made it into the final four was called Sui Liang, precisely the other one the two half-step Crystal Formation Realms.


    The face-off for the semi-finals was already out. Ye Yuan versus Tang Yu-er, and Tian Yu versus Sui Liang!


    There was basically no suspense for Tian Yu versus Sui Liang. Tang Yu-er and Ye Yuan''s match clearly became everyone''s focal point.


    Ye Yuan overcame all the obstacles along the way, and even Luo Chengfeng fell to him. This made the originally lifeless sect grand competition suddenly became lively.


    Everybody wanted to see what step Ye Yuan could walk to!


    Although Ye Yuan defeating Luo Chengfeng in the previous battle made everyone''s glasses fall off, everybody could sense that Ye Yuan''s fight with Luo Chengfeng was not as easy as with Zhang Jing.


    And Tang Yu-er''s strength was not because Luo Chengfeng did not use his weapon!


    Everyone knew that even if Luo Chengfeng used his weapon, the result would also be the same!


    Hence, Ye Yuan and Tang Yu-er''s match was even more anticipated than with Tian Yu.


    Tian Yu used the sword. Whether he could gain any advantages in a battle against Ye Yuan was another matter altogether. But Tang Yu-er did not use a sword. If Ye Yuan could even beat Tang Yu-er, he would only be a step away from number one.


    Yes, at the semi-finals, Tian Yu did not seem too promising instead!


    Not because he wasn''t strong enough, but because he used swords!


    Tian Yu was strong because of his sword. But facing Ye Yuan, his sword became his greatest shortcoming instead!


    The semi-finals were about to commence. Ye Yuan and Tang Yu-er''s platform was already surrounded until not even water could flow through!


    "Quickly look! Isn''t that Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu? There''s also Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng Wu and the rest! The elite disciples actually came to watch Ye Yuan''s match too!"


    "What''s so strange about that? The elite disciples'' matches have already ended. Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu won rank one without any contest! And Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng Wu is third from the bottom. He will be competing with our core disciples'' number one. Coming to check on his opponent''s strength is something very natural."


    "Then why did Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu come over?"


    "Hehe, with Ye Yuan''s degree of monstrousness, he''ll most probably cause a threat to Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu before long. Isn''t it very normal for him to come and take a look at his future adversary? I reckon that the number of elite disciples who came to watch the match is not small!"


    The elite disciples'' grand competition was already all finished at this time.


    Ti Wujiu became the number one elite disciple uncontestably with the battle result of 19 complete victories!


    But Cheng Wu ultimately could not shake off the bottom three rankings. According to the sect rules, he would have to undergo a final match with the number one core disciple to determine who stays and leaves.


    Hence, it was very crucial to Cheng Wu who obtains rank one.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu, who do you think can obtain rank one?" Cheng Wu asked rather flusteredly.


    Ti Wujiu shook his head however and said, "It has already been a very long time since the previous grand competition. Tian Yu and Tang Yu-er both made significant progress. But as for how much they improved, nobody knows. Moreover, there''s even a Ye Yuan who popped out this time. Whose hands the number one lands in is really still an unknown."


    Cheng Wu''s eyes lit up as he said with a smile, "Do you think Ye Yuan can beat both Tang Yu-er and Tian Yu? Heh heh, if he can get number one, then that would be great!"


    Ti Wujiu shot Cheng Wu a glance and said with a chuckle, "Hur hur, I, on the other hand, think that it''s best if you don''t bump into Ye Yuan."


    Cheng Wu asked in puzzlement, "No way! Although this Ye Yuan is impressive, I, Cheng Wu, can''t possibly lose to a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, right?"


    Cheng Wu was at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm. While his strength was near the bottom among the elite disciples, that was only relative to the elite disciples.


    Towards the vast majority of core disciples, his talent was absolutely those super strong types.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s talent was heaven-defying, Cheng Wu was a major realm higher than him. How could Ye Yuan possibly be his match?


    This sort of crushing in terms of cultivation realm could not be turned around with talent!


    Ti Wujiu said, "Ye Yuan''s might in sword intent realm surpasses everyone''s imagination! If my speculations are right, he might have already grasped the Azure Dipper Purple Yang True Intent! Even if he has not fully grasped it, it''s most likely more or less there already. If you really encounter him, it''s best to be careful. Take care not to be careless!"


    Cheng Wu sucked in a cold breath when he heard that. He knew that Ye Yuan''s sword intent was very strong, but did not think that it was powerful to such an extent!


    Even the sect master did not grasp the Azure Dipper Purple Yang True Intent. Ye Yuan already grasped it at this age?


    No wonder he could lift something heavy like it was light when fighting Zhang Jing.


    "Then Senior Apprentice Brother mean that . . . Tian Yu and Tang Yu-er are in danger this time?"


    Ti Wujiu shook his head and said, "I don''t know about that. Tian Yu and Tang Yu-er are both people who are outstandingly talented, and their realms are so much higher than Ye Yuan''s realm. They naturally have the strength to battle it out. What I want to see now is . . . what method Tian Yu will use to fight with Ye Yuan when he''s being suppressed in terms of Sword Dao!"


    Cheng Wu was speechless. He originally thought that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon who is easy to knead. Now, it seemed like nobody was a soft persimmon!


    Cheng Wu was aware of Sui Liang''s strength. Without any accidents, the top three would be Tian Yu, Tang Yu-er and Ye Yuan.


    Except, this final ranking was not easy to determine.


    Tian Yu who seemed to be the most promising at first had lesser advantages than Tang Yu-er now.


    Cheng Wu felt somewhat in a mess.


    . . . . . .


    On the platform, Tang Yu-er was dressed in a fiery-red fine gauze but appeared lofty and proud.


    That unparalleled appearance did not lose to the Nanfeng aunt and niece.


    However, those underestimate her because she was a peerless beauty would definitely suffer a huge loss!


    In the previous grand competition, Tian Yu once suffered a huge loss in Tang Yu-er''s hands and was nearly defeated!


    Tang Yu-er looked at Ye Yuan who was opposite coldly and said, "Ye Yuan, you''re indeed very strong! But, you''ll stop here!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that. He did not think that Tang Yu-er would be so overbearing right after coming up.


    "Haha, not only is Senior Apprentice Sister beautiful, but this aura is also so imposing!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Tang Yu-er''s face grew colder. Her impression of Ye Yuan became even worse. "Humph! Lecher! I''ll definitely make a fool out of you later!"


    Tang Yu-er''s heart was higher than the heavens. Ordinary disciples did not even enter her eyes. Therefore, there were many people who secretly had a crush on her, but not many who confessed their feelings.


    There was once somebody who was beaten up until he had to lie on the bed for two months after confessing to her. Ever since then, everyone could only put their affection and admiration away in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan calling her beautiful right after coming up naturally made her put him in the same category as lechers.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister is as beautiful as a flower, but won''t let others praise you. Isn''t it an insult to your beauty?"


    Tang Yu-er flew into a great rage when she heard that. "Humph! Indeed a conceited and insolent person! I hope that you can still laugh in a while!"

 Chapter 269: Crossing Swords with Illusions!

    Chapter 269: Crossing Swords with Illusions!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "To dare take liberties with Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er like this, Ye Yuan''s guts are really fat!"


    "Hehe, he has the strength. He might even be thinking of taking this opportunity to court Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er!"


    "Speaking of which, the two of them, their ages and strength are around the same. It''s really a perfect match between an able man and a fair maiden! Furthermore, with Ye Yuan''s potential, he''ll definitely surpass Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er in the future. If they were to become a pair, it would become a story that will be passed down!"


    "Bah! Is that snotty brat Ye Yuan even good enough for Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er?"


    "Haha, you''re envying and hating out of jealousy, right? I know that you''ve had a crush on Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er for a very long time already!"


    ". . . . . ."


    Actually, Ye Yuan was just purely praising. He did not think to incur Tang Yu-er''s wrath.


    But the way the other disciples saw it, Ye Yuan''s words like this were already blatant flirtation. It was just that Ye Yuan''s strength stood head and shoulders above all others, so he obviously had the qualifications to pursue Tang Yu-er.


    However, those disciples who had been secretly crushing on Tang Yu-er for a long time were naturally very displeased by this.


    Once the battle began, Tang Yu-er''s red ribbon shot towards Ye Yuan to tangle him up.


    Relying on Spirit Void Shattering Space, Ye Yuan''s speed was no longer beneath late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!


    Seeing the red ribbon snaking over, he easily evaded with a flash.


    But right then, Ye Yuan only felt his head sink, his entire body becoming sluggish.


    Divine soul mystic arts!


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tang Yu-er''s trump card was actually a divine soul mystic art!


    "Heh heh, Ye Yuan fell for it as expected! Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er is the strongest at illusionary arts. In the last grand competition, even Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu fell for it and nearly lost."


    "Ye Yuan has been enjoying too much success recently. He most likely didn''t inquire about Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er''s trump card! Under the same realm, virtually nobody can escape from Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er''s illusions. Ye Yuan is only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm; only a minor stage lower than Yu-er in divine soul realm. He''s doomed!"


    "Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er was already furious earlier, she''ll most definitely be ruthless to Ye Yuan! Even if she doesn''t screw with him until he becomes an idiot, he can''t escape lying in bed for several days!"


    "Haha, if Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er really has vicious intent, perhaps Senior Apprentice Brother Sui Liang still has a possibility for entering the top three!"


    On the platform, Tang Yu-er and Ye Yuan both stopped moving. Ye Yuan''s eyes became vacant holes as if his soul was charmed.


    Tang Yu-er closed her eyes however and did not move a muscle too.


    Ye Yuan only felt his mind sink just now, but his entire person was brought to a different place.


    . . . . . .


    In the secular world, Ye Yuan became a wealthy family''s scion. A graceful and beautiful body appeared in front of his eyes.


    The girl in front of him was beautiful to the extreme, but not a trace of clothing was on her!


    That body which made people nosebleed could make any man go berserk.


    Ye Yuan looked at the attire he was wearing and back at the nude woman on the other side, and could not help shaking his head and laughing.


    This Tang Yu-er really took him to be an extremely perverted lecher.


    ''Young Master, let this Servant serve you in bed."


    The woman''s sweet melodious voice rung beside Ye Yuan''s ear. A pair of water snake like jade arms twined around Ye Yuan''s neck. It was exceedingly alluring.


    Ye Yuan was not some sage. In front of a genuine beauty, he would naturally show the reaction that a man should display.


    Except that Tang Yu-er employing illusions in front of Ye Yuan was kind of like playing with a large saber in front of Guan Yu.


    Illusionary arts were actually an important branch of divine soul mystic arts. Its power was extremely great and could kill people imperceptibly.


    Illusionary arts were similarly a Great Dao. When cultivated to the limits, it could transform the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal!


    Powerful illusionary martial artists could kill their foes undetectably and also make the other party fall into an illusionary realm forever, becoming a living corpse!


    What''s more, the other party would be fully aware that they were inside an illusion world but could not escape no matter what!


    This sort of endless sinking was sometimes scarier than killing the opponent!


    If the caster did not release the illusion, the other party would never wake from the illusion, just like a samsara cycle, all the way until death!


    The first time Ye Yuan laid eyes on this woman, he knew what Tang Yu-er was trying to do.


    She wanted to make him immerse himself in the embrace of women inside the illusion and be unable to extricate himself!


    Once he wallowed in the pleasures of the flesh, the Ye Yuan in the real world would also do some repulsive actions.


    If that happened, Ye Yuan would become the joke of the entire sect.


    One had to say that this move by Tang Yu-er was certainly quite vicious. If Ye Yuan really succumbed to it, then no matter how talented he was, he would have no face to stay on in the sect after this.


    Women had always been incomprehensible creatures. Ye Yuan already had a taste of that many times. Although this move by Tang Yu-er was really deriding, Ye Yuan did not get too angry.


    But Ye Yuan was not some clay bodhisattva that could be kneaded however others liked.


    Ye Yuan decided to prank this Tang Yu-er good. It could be considered her punishment.


    Facing the woman''s teasing, Ye Yuan grabbed her arm and threw her ruthlessly to one side, saying with a cold sneer, "That won''t be necessary! Tell me who sent you here!"


    Ye Yuan rebuked with a stern countenance, but the woman kept silent like a cicada in winter. She said weakly, "N-No one! This Servant . . . This Servant only admires young master. That''s why . . . That''s why I took the initiative to offer my body! If Young Master can''t trust this Servant, then I''m willing to apologize with death! Sniff, sniff . . ."


    The woman cried pitifully and behaved like she wanted to run into the wall to commit suicide. But Ye Yuan just sneered and said, "Don''t pretend to be innocent in front of me! As the successor to the capital''s Ye Family, what kind of woman have this Young Master not seen before? How can you pass the test in front of me with your inferior acting? Go and hit! Just ahead!"


    That woman really stopped after hearing that.


    In the illusion world, Tang Yu-er who was concealed in a covert location secretly sniggered to herself coldly. "Didn''t think that this lecher has some capabilities. To actually not fall for it easily! However, you''ve already taken the place of your identity. Can you still escape from this Young Lady''s palm?"


    The nude woman put away her seductive expression and wore her garments. She said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "Young Master Ye indeed has great powers of concentration! Actually, I''m under the orders of my family''s missus to come and probe Young Master Ye!"


    Ye Yuan snickered to himself secretly, but looked doubtful on the surface as he asked, "You family''s missus is?"


    "My family''s missus is the Tang Family''s eldest miss. She has long heard that Mister is the number one scholar in the capital and has admired you for a long time. It''s just that she doesn''t know Mister''s nature, that''s why she sent me to test Mister. Having met today, Young Master indeed see things as clear as viewing a fire; an extremely wise and far-sighted person!" The woman sighed with admiration.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his expression eased up slightly, but he still pretended to be peeved as he said, "So, it''s the Tang Family''s eldest miss! This Ye has also long heard that the Tang Family''s eldest miss has national beauty and heavenly fragrance, and is even an erudite among women. It''s just that your family''s missus using this kind of method to test me is really going too far! A fair lady is a gentleman''s good mate, but this Ye is absolutely not those profligate and immoral people! Please return and inform Miss Tang that this Ye is unable to enjoy her admiration!"


    In secret, Tang Yu-er''s face changed when she heard that. If Ye Yuan were really impervious to everything, then her illusion would reveal flaws sooner or later, then Ye Yuan would be able to escape!


    Tang Yu-er could not accept such an outcome!

    "Humph! Looks like this lecher is definitely lusting after my looks; that''s why he is so indifferent to other people! Since that''s the case, this Young Lady will beat him at his own game and play tricks on this lecher!"


    Tang Yu-er had absolute faith in her looks and illusion skills. Wasn''t it effortless to deal with a young man who was impetuous like Ye Yuan?


    It was just that thinking about being taken advantage of by Ye Yuan in the illusion world made Tang Yu-er feel very disgusted even though she in the illusion world was not the real her.


    "Please calm your anger, Young Master Ye. My family''s missus said that if you can remain unperturbed by a woman in your lap, then the final wariness she has towards you would also be gone. In order to offer an apology, Miss Tang has set up a banquet in the VIP building and invited Young Master Ye to go there," the servant said serenely.


    A flicker of delight flashed across Ye Yuan''s eyes when he heard that, and this look was naturally caught by Tang Yu-er who was observing in the dark.


    "Humph! Indeed playing hard to get! Watch how this Young Lady plays with you in the palm of my hands!" Tang Yu-er cackled coldly.


    "I''ve long heard that Miss Tang is the most beautiful person in the capital, but I didn''t think that she was in love with this Ye. Since that''s the case, this Ye will proceed there! However, never use this kind of trick to mess with me again!" Ye Yuan said.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan only felt his eyes blur. Two days had already passed.


    In the illusion, the caster could freely switch time and space, but the person who was under the spell would be oblivious and think that it was as a matter of course instead.


    Except, to Ye Yuan, such an illusion was really too low-level.


    Although the previous life''s Ji Qingyun was a trash in the Martial Dao, he was an existence at the peak of perfection regarding the attainments on the divine soul.


    He had every kind of divine soul mystic arts at the tip of his fingers.


    How could a puny little half-step Crystal Formation Realm martial artist''s illusion make him fall for it?


    Not to mention, Ye Yuan''s present divine soul realm was already even stronger than high-rank Alchemy King. It was not any weaker compared to Tang Yu-er.


    Under the circumstances where the strength of the divine souls was around the same, Tang Yu-er was even less likely to make him fall under the spell.


    Ye Yuan was only messing with Tang Yu-er right now, that was why he pretended to be under the spell. If he was willing, he could leave this illusion at any time and also heavily injure Tang Yu-er''s divine soul.


    Inside the VIP building''s reserved room, Tang Yu-er was wearing a light green fine gauze clothing. Truly beautiful to the extreme.


    Compared to the Tang Yu-er on the platform who was in martial attire, this Tang Yu-er had a portion more of delicateness and good-naturedness, and less overbearingness.


    When Ye Yuan saw Tang Yu-er, he also became absent-minded for a split second. When this scene landed in Tang Yu-er''s eyes, there was naturally a few more parts of disgust.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tang Yu-er would actually have such a gentle and soft side. He wondered if the Tang Yu-er, in reality, would also have such a side.


    "A few days ago, Yu-er was somewhat brusque. Today, I''ve prepared some thin wine to specially make up to Young Master Ye. I hope that Young Master Ye won''t take to heart my prior transgressions and bury the hatchet with Yu-er."


    When the words came out of her mouth, Tang Yu-er was filled with the grace of a young lady from an eminent family.


    Ye Yuan secretly found it funny but was nonchalant on the surface as he said, "Miss Yu-er is too polite. As a real man, why would this Ye quibble with a celestial fairy-like miss like Yu-er?"


    Tang Yu-er raised her wine cup and showed a happy expression as she said, "Since that''s the case, how about Mister Ye please drink this toast with me?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and downed his cup in one go.


    After a cup of wine, the pair each with their own wicked plans started to chat like good friends of many years.


    Ye Yuan started chatting about distant lands randomly, making Tang Yu-er yearn for more.


    Ye Yuan talked from the mundane world to the martial artist world, from the Martial Dao to the Alchemy Dao. His encyclopedic knowledge and extensiveness of what he had seen and heard before made Tang Yu-er unconsciously forget that she was inside an illusion world.


    Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience were simply not what Tang Yu-er could hope to match. Even inside an illusion, that sort of faint feeling from being someone from a higher realm would also leak out unwittingly.


    Such disposition had absolute lethality towards women.


    The Tang Yu-er who cast the illusion was gradually substituted by Ye Yuan.


    Illusions were a type of very delicate divine soul mystic arts.


    Under most circumstances, the caster would be the absolute master of the illusion world. But if they encountered an expert with extremely powerful soul force, the pressure on the caster would be enormous.


    Take Tang Yu-er for example. With her divine soul realm plus the power of an illusionary divine soul mystic art, she could make the other party descend into an illusionary realm when facing ordinary Crystal Formation Realm experts.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party did not deliberately cultivate their divine soul.


    Tang Yu-er''s illusions were very easy to fall for, for martial artists. But if she faced an Alchemy Grandmaster, then it would not be so useful.


    All in all, Tang Yu-er''s illusions were very powerful and could even let her leap ranks to battle!


    But Ye Yuan''s understanding towards illusions and divine soul was simply not what Tang Yu-er could compare to.


    Having fallen into the illusionary realm for such a long time, it looked to be uninteresting like water, but in reality, it was the struggle between Ye Yuan and Tang Yu-er''s divine soul.


    It was just that Ye Yuan intentionally appeared weak in front of his opponent, so Tang Yu-er thought that she held the initiative the entire time.


    But in reality, Ye Yuan had already gotten the initiative unknowingly and also dragged Tang Yu-er into the illusion instead.


    At the current moment, the Tang Yu-er in green garment opposite Ye Yuan could be said to be Tang Yu-er in the flesh already.


    It was just that the Tang Yu-er who fell to the illusion was completely unaware.


    What was even more lethal was that Ye Yuan, through the disposition he unintentionally exhibited in addition to his young and handsome appearance, had already deep enthralled Tang Yu-er who was opposite him!


    Because in the illusion, Ye Yuan was still Ye Yuan himself, but Tang Yu-er was no longer Tang Yu-er.


    Tang Yu-er had already taken the place of her character. She was merely a secular beauty.


    Facing the young and abstruse Ye Yuan, Tang Yu-er had already inadvertently fallen in love.


    At this very moment, the one controlling the illusion was no longer Tang Yu-er but had silently changed to Ye Yuan.


    . . . . . .


    In the illusionary world, time flowed like water.


    Today, the Ye Family''s young master was taking the Tang Family''s daughter as his wife. A wedding ceremony was held in the capital, causing a sensation. A perfect match between an able man and a fair lady, everyone was envious.


    A year later, Tang Yu-er gave birth to Ye Yuan''s child. Holding her son in her hands, Tang Yu-er''s face was filled with bliss. This was the crystallization of Ye Yuan and her love. And that very year, Ye Yuan spurred his horse as he wielded his sword, becoming a military official of the empire.


    Five years later, Ye Yuan returned victoriously with illustrious achievements in war and was conferred as the youngest general in the empire. Tang Yu-er led the people to welcome him several miles outside of the city. Looking at her valiant and heroic husband, she was full of pride.


    15 years later, Ye Yuan became a different surnamed prince, holding enormous power in the court. Tang Yu-er became a princess consort. For many years, the husband and wife treated each other with respect and affection, helping each other in times of need.


    After 50 years, Ye Yuan and Tang Yu-er propagated for generations and had many children and grandchildren. The Ye Family became one of the major families in the empire.


    After 70 years, the pair leaned into each other while holding hands, their heads completely white, and fell asleep . . .


    Just like that, their entire life passed by.


    While in reality, two hours had gone by.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes remained vacant holes as if he was completely dominated by Tang Yu-er.


    While opposite him, Tang Yu-er had a blissful face at times, a flushed face at other times, all kinds of expressions varying.


    The audience below the platform clicked their tongues in surprise.

 Chapter 271: Big Brother Ye Yuan

    Chapter 271: Big Brother Ye Yuan


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "These two people have already been standing on the platform for over two hours. Just who has the advantage right now?"


    "I can''t figure it out! Ye Yuan had that lifeless expression from the start and seems to be controlled by Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er. But the victor hasn''t been decided until now. The expression on Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er''s face is very rich and looks like she is expending a great deal of effort. I just can''t figure out what the hell is going on."


    "A match like this is so boring. We can''t even see how they fight. The two of them are just staring at each other, staring for over two hours already."


    "A duel with illusions is sometimes even more perilous than a fight between martial artists! With your paltry strength, once you fall under Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er''s illusion, she can turn you into an idiot with a snap!"


    Speaking of which, the highly anticipated battle that everyone was originally looking forward to became utterly boring right now.


    The two people only made one move from the start till now, then fell into a situation where they just stared at each other.


    It was fine if they just stared at each other. If Ye Yuan was taken down by Tang Yu-er, he should show all sorts of ugly behaviors.


    Or if Tang Yu-er''s illusion could not do anything to Ye Yuan and he achieved victory instead. Everyone could accept these two kinds of result.


    But the pair just had to be in a stalemate the entire time. Furthermore, the two people''s conditions were very odd, leaving everyone unaware just who held the advantage until now.


    Suddenly, Tang Yu-er gave a muffled groan on the platform and flopped weakly onto the ground.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes also regained clarity at this time. He clasped his hands at Tang Yu-er and said with a smile, "Yu-er . . . Senior, thank you."


    Ye Yuan deliberately dragged out the intonation in saying Yu-er, making it sound weird when one heard it.


    Tang Yu-er''s soul force was overly exhausted currently and no longer had the strength to battle again.


    She lifted her head and looked at the grinning Ye Yuan with shame and rage filling her heart. Just now, inside the illusion world, she actually spent a lifetime with Ye Yuan and even helped to propagate his bloodline!


    This was simply unprecedented shame and humiliation!


    After the shame and anger, the hatred in Tang Yu-er''s heart grew massively, her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became filled with killing intent!


    Even though it was only inside the illusion world, that sort of feeling of her purity being sullied still trailed closely behind like a shadow!


    Tang Yu-er never imagined that this lecher also had such high attainments in terms of illusionary arts.


    She still could not figure out until now how both parties quietly swapped roles and also how Ye Yuan dragged her inside the board. This kind of method was simply unimaginable!


    One had to know that this illusion world was set up by Tang Yu-er! Ye Yuan actually took over the illusionary realm that she set unknowingly and even brought her inside, making her a target that the other party could freely manipulate as he liked!


    Tang Yu-er gritted her teeth in hatred and wished that she could grind Ye Yuan''s bones to dust and scatter them to the wind!


    "Ye Yuan, I''m warning you! If you dare to speak about the matters inside the illusion world, I''ll make you wish that you were dead! " Tang Yu-er transmitted her voice to warn.


    Ye Yuan replied, "Haha, I have an illness, which is that I can''t endure being frightened. Once you frighten me, my mouth will start to run and tell the outside world about anything. Yu-er . . . Senior . . . you see . . ."


    Tang Yu-er''s face changed. "You dare threaten me?"


    "How would I dare to threaten Yu-er . . . Senior, earlier, it was clearly Yu-er . . . Senior who was threatening me." Ye Yuan deliberately dragged out the intonation of the word Yu-er again.


    Tang Yu-er was on the verge of collapse. She said frostily, "Speak! What terms do you want?! I''m warning you, don''t go too overboard! Something like a toad wishing to eat swan meat, don''t even think about it!"


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "Hur hur, I''m not a toad, and you''re also not a swan. However . . . my ears are very soft, why not you call me Big Brother Ye Yuan once and I''ll erase this segment of memories. What do you think?"


    Big Brother Ye Yuan was precisely the term that Tang Yu-er used to address Ye Yuan inside the illusion world. At that time, the pair were as inseparable as glue and lacquer, closely attached to each other, and were extremely sticky together.


    But asking Tang Yu-er to say it out, in reality, was even worse than killing her.


    The first impression that Ye Yuan gave her was a lecher. Now that he also did such obscene things inside the illusion world, Tang Yu-er wished that she could kill him. How could she possibly call out such a mushy form of address?


    "You . . . Dream on!"


    "Oh, not calling? Then forget it, I couldn''t care less either. Later, I''ll find a few companions to have a conversation with. I believe that many people are dying to know just what happened on the stage today."


    "You! Fine, I . . . I''ll call!"


    "En, I''m listening."


    "B-Big . . . b-brother . . . Ye Yuan!"


    Although it was a voice transmission, Tang Yu-er''s voice was like a mosquito''s buzz.


    "Ah? What did you say? I didn''t hear it!"


    Tang Yu-er was so furious that her lovely body started to tremble, but she had no choice but to call out, "Big Brother Ye Yuan!"


    The voice this time was loud. Except, it completely did not sound like it.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Sigh . . . Completely lacking that sort of feeling already. Listening to it doesn''t give any flavor at all. Consider you pass then. I''ll keep my mouth shut."


    Ye Yuan just had a moment of mischievousness and played a prank on Tang Yu-er. They were in the same sect after all; Ye Yuan could not very well go too far, and so to just let it be at that.


    Ye Yuan obviously knew that Tang Yu-er would hate him ever since, but he did not really mind.


    To others, Tang Yu-er''s illusions were very powerful. But to Ye Yuan, her illusions did not have any threat at all.


    Tang Yu-er struggled to get up but still felt a little weak in her knees.


    However, she remained standing there stubbornly and stared at Ye Yuan coldly as she said, "A loss means a loss. What''s there to thank?"


    Finishing, Tang Yu-er walked down the platform with some difficulty.


    The audience looked at the obstinate Tang Yu-er and looked at Ye Yuan on the platform again. They gaped at each other speechlessly.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er who was ever triumphant by relying on illusionary arts actually lost just like this?


    It seemed like . . . Ye Yuan was completely fine.


    "Hey, Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er''s soul force exhaustion is so great. Why does Ye Yuan look completely fine? Even if he won Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er, it shouldn''t be without expending even a little bit of soul force, right?"


    "Yeah, I find it strange too! Ye Yuan clearly fell under the illusion. But other than his eyes becoming vacant during the middle portion, it seems like there was no difference between the start and end at all. Such a situation is seriously too peculiar."


    "Are you daft? I heard that Ye Yuan is even an alchemist! Perhaps his attainments on the divine soul are even more amazing than Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er!"


    "You''re the daft one! I''m also not blind and can see the badge Ye Yuan is wearing! It''s just that his badge is only low-rank Alchemy Master. Even if he broke through to middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm, his soul force would only be middle-rank Alchemy Master. Having fought a battle with Senior Apprentice Sister Yu-er, how is it possible to not have any consumption at all?"


    "This . . . This Ye Yuan is really leaking with peculiarity!"


    Indeed, Ye Yuan continued the momentum of his consecutive victories and once again, caused an ''upset'' in the status quo, defeating a top three opponent!


    Tang Yu-er who had transcendent illusionary arts lost to Ye Yuan inexplicably just like that.


    Nobody knew what kind of competition the pair experienced inside the illusion world. Both parties kept their mouth tightly sealed.


    On the other platform, Tian Yu and Sui Liang''s match had ended long ago.


    Without any surprises, Tian Yu defeated Sui Liang.


    The final round: Ye Yuan versus Tian Yu!

 Chapter 272: Heavenly Sky Sect

    Chapter 272: Heavenly Sky Sect


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The news about Ye Yuan entering the finals not only caused a huge uproar among the disciples, but the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons were also visibly stirred.


    But different from those disciples, these elders all knew that Ye Yuan''s accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao were tremendously remarkable.


    To have such stunning achievements in the Alchemy Dao and the Martial Dao at the same time, was this boy even human?


    "There are times when human strength just won''t do! I really have no idea what kind of existence that master behind Ye Yuan is like. To actually raise such a freakish existence like Ye Yuan!"


    "No matter what kind of existence he is, that is not an existence that our Tranquil Cloud Sect can afford to provoke! I feel that this master of Ye Yuan is most likely one of the pinnacle few beings in the Endless World! That Lord is probably going ascend to the Divine Realm before long, so that''s why he was seized with a sudden impulse to find a disciple to inherit his mantle. However, the master initiates the apprentice, but their skill depends on their own efforts. For Ye Yuan to have such startling improvement, it''s inseparable from his own bitter hard work," Xiao Jian chimed in.


    Luo Qingfeng nodded. It was clear that his judgment was roughly the same as Xiao Jian''s.


    Ye Yuan''s identity could not be clearer. He was a born and bred State of Qin citizen. Only those strongest few individuals in the Endless World had the ability to teach a genius like Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, the way this Lord taught disciples was different from others. He did not bring Ye Yuan along with him. He just taught him all of his abilities, then let Ye Yuan roam freely.


    Of course, it could also be that that lord was monitoring Ye Yuan at all times. But an existence that like, as long as he did not wish for others to discover him, other people would never find him!


    "What you are said is right. Even a more monstrous talent has to be vied for with one''s own efforts. With Ye Yuan''s performance in the State of Qin, this child''s talent and temperament are excellent. It''s no wonder that that lord would take fancy to him. However, for him to be able to soar to the skies with one move, the Nine Heavens Road contributed immensely! With Ye Yuan''s personality, I think he''ll surely remember my Tranquil Cloud Sect with some gratitude," Luo Qingfeng said.


    Xiao Jian said in agreement, "This child is not the slightest bit soft-handed towards enemies, but he uses his life to protect those close to him. As long as we don''t do something to chill his heart, when this child prospers in the future, he''ll definitely provide some help and guidance. It''s just that . . . the Heavenly Sky Sect seems to be increasingly restless recently! I also don''t know if we can wait until the day Ye Yuan grows up."


    Mentioning the Heavenly Sky Sect, Luo Qingfeng''s brows also knitted slightly, his eyes showing deep trepidation.


    Compared to the boundlessly vast expanse of the Northern Domain, the Southern Domain was not considered vast. Although sects stood in great numbers, on the whole, they were managed by eight great sects.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect was one of these eight great sects!


    It''s just that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s strength could only rank near the bottom of these eight great sects.


    While this Heavenly Sky Sect was the sect with the greatest strength among the eight great sects!


    Because they were the strongest, they were arrogant!


    All manners of the Heavenly Sky Sect''s overbearingness was renowned in the Southern Domain.


    Especially in the recent few years, the Heavenly Sky Sect''s various activities were gradually increasing in frequency. This made the sects with weaker strength like the Tranquil Cloud Sect naturally become nervous.


    As the master of a sect, the pressure on Luo Qingfeng''s shoulders was unimaginable by outsiders.


    With Ye Yuan''s monstrous talent, as long as he was given ten years, breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm should not be an issue.


    At that time, with such a heaven-defying Soul Sea Realm powerhouse like Ye Yuan holding the fort, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would probably become an upper-ranked force among the great sects with a single bound. Then, they obviously did not need to fear the threat from the Heavenly Sky Sect anymore.


    But the problem was whether or not the Heavenly Sky Sect would give Tranquil Cloud Sect time to develop peacefully for ten years!


    Luo Qingfeng gave a faint sigh and said, "The matter on hand is that our Tranquil Cloud Sect still needs another Soul Sea Realm powerhouse to appear as soon as possible. Or else, we probably can''t escape the outcome of being annexed!"


    Xiao Jian also gave a sigh when he heard that. He said helplessly, "Soul Sea Realm . . .Talking is easy, but doing it is as hard as ascending to the heavens! Even with Martial Uncle Skymaple''s outstanding talent, he only broke through to the Soul Sea Realm by a fluke. Back then when our Tranquil Cloud Sect migrated over from the Northern Domain, we were chased down by those fellows until there was no road to heaven and no gate into the earth, resulting in a loss of two volumes of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Otherwise, what has the present Southern Domain got to do with the Heavenly Sky Sect?"


    One''s starting point determines the height!


    A thousand years ago, the Tranquil Cloud Sect had a great migration, but lost two volumes of the sect forte cultivation method, resulting in the members today finding that breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Or else, with the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s foundations, even if they were chased to the Southern Domain, it would not be to such an extent where it was so dismal.


    And although the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was relatively complete, without the Martial Dao cultivation method to raise cultivation realm, one could only look at but not eat what was at the back.


    Fortunately, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s foundations were deep. There were those few geniuses in every generation who could forcibly breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm through comprehending the sword intent on the Nine Heavens Road or by relying on their own perception.


    Skymaple was one of them.


    Except, to want to completely comprehend the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent on the Nine Heavens Road was something that was virtually impossible.


    Cultivation methods and martial techniques were things that were expressed through texts. Comparatively, the clearer and easier it was to understand, the easier it would be to cultivate in as well.


    But to talk about the completeness of sword intent, one might as well directly comprehend it.


    When training in cultivation skills, regardless to what extent one trained to, it was impossible to fully comprehend You Wuya''s true intent!


    But on the Nine Heavens Road, one could completely grasp this true intent through that final sword!


    However, this sort of thing could only be understood and not described. Even if Ye Yuan fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent, there was no way for him to describe it.


    Otherwise, Xiao Jian and Luo Qingfeng would have long kidnapped Ye Yuan and forced him to write out the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art from memory every day.


    "Every generation can only do their best! Among this batch of children, there are really quite a few fine saplings! As long as they mature, our Tranquil Cloud Sect will definitely rise up once again! And what we, these old fellows, have to do is to provide for them an environment that they can grow up in!" Luo Qingfeng said.


    Xiao Jian nodded and said, ''Definitely!"


    Luo Qingfeng''s gaze landed on the platform in the distance again and asked, "What do you think about the match between Tian Yu and Ye Yuan?"


    With the thoughts circling back to the grand competition, Xiao Jian also felt much more relaxed. He smiled and said, "Tian Yu is absolutely not someone who would let others freely slaughter him. Even if his strongest Sword Dao was sealed shut, he will not fold his arms and wait to die."


    Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Martial Uncle Skymaple has a fine grandson! The speed of his improvement these two years is also something that I feel inferior to! Looks like the things he comprehended on the Nine Heavens Road back then was even more than me! Then your meaning is . . . you favor Tian Yu more?"


    When he was young, Luo Qingfeng was the number one genius in the Tranquil Cloud Sect then, around the same as the present Tian Yu and Ti Wujiu.


    But Tian Yu''s improvement was visible to Luo Qingfeng''s eyes. Compared to himself in those days, Luo Qingfeng was somewhat ashamed of his own inferiority.


    Xiao Jian shook his head and said, "No! In contrast, I think Ye Yuan is more promising instead!"


    "Oh? Why is that so? With my understanding of Tian Yu, this child should still have other trump cards!"


    But Xiao Jian smiled and said, "Very simple! Ye Yuan, this child, cannot be measured using common sense!"

 Chapter 273: Discarding Sword!

    Chapter 273: Discarding Sword!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The match had yet to begin, but the platform was already surrounded until not even water could trickle through.


    On the platform, Tian Yu was meditating on the ground, a longsword placed horizontally across his crossed legs.


    "Tsk tsk, this is the first time I''m seeing Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu taking a match so seriously. He actually arrived on scene an hour early!"


    "It''s nothing to wonder. Ye Yuan''s sword intent is extremely powerful. I reckon that it can completely restraint Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. Such a match is too stifling. There''s no way even if Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu doesn''t want to take it seriously!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s sword intent has already surpassed our imaginations. I''ve always chased after him as my goal. I didn''t think that a Ye Yuan would jump out this time! After seeing his sword intent, I feel that there''s no more hope in this lifetime,"


    ". . . That''s really true! The might of Ye Yuan''s sword intent can really make people despair!"


    "I truly don''t know how Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu plans on dealing with Ye Yuan''s sword intent. Actually, I still hope that Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu can win. After all, he''s the leader of us core disciples!"


    Tian Yu''s mind did not wander. He sat for an hour on the platform.


    Not that Tian Yu was deliberately mystifying things, but because he really took this match very seriously!


    Originally, it was just having a junior with tremendous power, but he did not think that in a blink of an eye, he became a powerful foe!


    Especially Ye Yuan''s words before moved Tian Yu''s heart to a large extent.


    Every martial artist knew the importance of walking their own path. But this was an extremely bumpy and arduous road! Not many dare to walk it!


    From birth, people started with copying. Talking and walking were merely so.


    The martial path was the same. From mimicking other people''s path to trudging out one''s own path.


    But what was different about the martial path was that trudging out one''s own path was too difficult. A single misstep and time would waste away, delaying cultivation time.


    This way, the loss outweighed the gains!


    Except, one''s potential would be used up very quickly if they did not walk their own path. Then their cultivation realm in this lifetime would also halt there.


    This was an optional question, but not every martial artist dared to make this decision.


    If Tian Yu chose to walk his own path, once there was no progress within a few years, then all of the advantages he possessed now would fade into nothing!


    Of course, if he carved out his own road, then he would walk much further in the future than he had walked now!


    Tian Yu wanted to make a choice through this match!


    Although he had watched a few of Ye Yuan''s matches, to truly experience Ye Yuan''s strength, it was naturally not as realistic as fighting him personally.


    He wanted to see just which step had Ye Yuan reached!


    "Ye Yuan arrived!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.


    The crowd automatically opened up a path to let Ye Yuan through.


    Looking at the Tian Yu who was currently meditation on the stage, Ye Yuan was also stunned.


    Tian Yu also opened his eyes at this time and looked at Ye Yuan as he said calmly, "I know that you cleared the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm, and I thought that you would be a powerful foe of mine sooner or later. It''s just that I didn''t think this day would arrive so quickly!"


    But Ye Yuan did not reply directly. Instead, he asked, "Did Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu reach long ago?"


    Tian Yu nodded and said, "For an hour already. This battle is of utmost importance to me! I want to find my own Dao!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Dao lies in the heart! With Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s talent, I believe that finding your own path won''t be hard."


    Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Those who know won''t find it hard, those who find it hard don''t know. It might perhaps be very easy to you, but not everybody has the courage to take this step!"


    Ye Yuan had already reincarnated for some time and had more or less adjusted to life in the Lower Realms. But that sort of worldview he had that exceeded this plane was still frequently out of tune with the people and matters around him.


    To people in the Divine Realm, grasping true intent was a very universal thing. But to people of the Lower Realms, true intent was far, far away.


    Ye Yuan''s words sounded like someone who did not try to see things from other people''s perspective.


    Tian Yu''s talent was absolutely second to none in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect, but when placed in the entire Southern Domain, it was not considered much. And the Southern Domain''s geniuses were nothing much when placed in the entire Endless World.


    In the entire Endless World, just how many people could grasp true intent?


    Even if Tian Yu''s talent was heaven-defying, grasping true intent was still something that was far from reach.


    However, Ye Yuan had another way of looking at things. He smiled and said, "That''s not right, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu! I feel that for Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, the saying that those who find it difficult don''t know, doesn''t exist. You should say that you''re playing the game! As the saying went, the spectators see the game better than the players. How can Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu know that you can''t if you don''t jump outside of the chessboard?"


    Tian Yu''s expression changed when he heard that!


    After chatting with Ye Yuan the previous time, Tian Yu had been reflecting on himself these two whole days. But Ye Yuan''s words earlier struck the core of his heart!


    Ye Yuan continued, "Cultivation is originally going against the heaven! Without a great dauntless heart, it''s impossible to walk far! If you don''t even have the courage to jump out of the chessboard, then your accomplishments in this lifetime would be limited to this!"


    Tian Yu''s body trembled when he heard this. The mental state that he adjusted for an hour was immediately shattered by Ye Yuan''s words.


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s words were right. But wanting to take this step really required enormous courage!


    Why could Long Tang comprehend the elementary form of true intent? It was because he sensed that fearless courage from Ye Yuan and cast away everything before finding his own path!


    Otherwise, Long Tang would only be a bird inside the cage, forever unaware of what the skies outside looked like!


    After keeping silent for a long time, Tian Yu held his sword and got up, saying, "Since that''s the case, let me see your Dao!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Please advise!"


    Tian Yu did not attack right away, but opened his mouth again to say, "I''ll only unleash one sword strike! Ye Yuan, let me see just how powerful your Sword Dao is!"


    When he finished, Tian Yu''s aura changed abruptly, as if his entire being became a sharp sword!


    Tian Yu wielded his sword in front of his chest and drew a full moon. Then, he put away his sword momentum. The full moon peeled away, becoming four streaks of azure-colored sword qi, hurtling towards Ye Yuan!


    "Luminous Moon High Above!" It''s actually Luminous Moon High Above! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s improvement in this half a year is truly so swift that it makes my blood run cold!"


    "Hiss . . . Luminous Moon High Above is an extremely powerful martial technique from the third layer of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Even Crystal Formation Realm disciples might not be able to comprehend this move! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is only half-step Crystal Formation Realm, but he actually comprehended this move already!"


    "Truly terrifying talent! If Ye Yuan did not appear, he would absolutely become a formidable foe for Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu! It''s just that . . . is this move effective against Ye Yuan?"


    Releasing the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art with four beams of sword qi, Tian Yu''s comprehension towards sword intent had already reached a very high level.


    Luminous Moon High Above, this move was exceedingly difficult to comprehend. Even among the sword cultivating elite disciples, only an extremely small number could comprehend it!


    For Tian Yu to be able to comprehend this move at half-step Crystal Formation Realm, his talent was clear at a glance!


    It was just that this move was still too weak towards Ye Yuan!


    The Ye Yuan who had grasped the Azure Dipper Purple Yang True Intent was virtually immune to such moves.


    Only to see him do a casual slash, four beams of sword qi similarly shot out, and actually reached first despite being released later, extinguishing Tian Yu''s four streaks of sword qi.


    Tian Yu gave a long sigh upon seeing the situation and directly discarded the sword in his hand!

 Chapter 274: The Legend Ends?

    Chapter 274: The Legend Ends?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "No . . . No way! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu actually abandoned his sword!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s skills all lie on his sword! Since he abandoned the sword, could this be conceding defeat?"


    "Sigh! A martial technique on the level of Luminous Moon High Above was snuffed out by Ye Yuan in the time it takes to raise a hand. What''s there to fight still? At least this was Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. If it were some other person, they most likely wouldn''t even have the courage to use their sword in front of Ye Yuan!"


    Seeing Tian Yu discarded his sword, it caused such a furor among the crowd.


    A sword user forsaking his sword was undoubtedly breaking off an arm themselves. Tian Yu''s action at this time made everyone think that he was going to admit defeat.


    There was actually quite a number of people who already predicted this scene.


    Ye Yuan''s sword intent was seriously too powerful. It was simply an insurmountably huge mountain!


    Ye Yuan stared at Tian Yu, but his expression became solemn.


    This was absolutely not Tian Yu conceding. On the contrary, he definitely had other trump cards!


    Because Tian Yu''s current expression in his eyes was not dim like a failure''s at all. Instead, it was brimming over with vigor and spirit, like the feeling of burning with eagerness to try.


    "Indeed, the disparity between you and me is huge in terms of Sword Dao! Originally, I thought that you only comprehended the elementary form of true intent. Now, it seems like you''ve already completely grasped the Azure Dipper Purple Yang True Intent!"


    When Tian Yu''s words came out, it caused another huge commotion among the crowd.


    Ti Wujiu who was always calm faltered slightly and said, "No wonder Ye Yuan is so formidable. Turns out he has already fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword intent! It looks like he comprehended it on the Nine Heavens Road. It''s just that in the thousands of years since the establishment of our Tranquil Cloud Sect, only a scathing few people could fully comprehend the true intent that Forefather left behind. And these people were all members during the Northern Domain era. The recent few thousand years, not a single one could comprehend it in its entirety! This Ye Yuan is truly remarkable!"


    Cheng Wu who was by the side was astounded long ago and sighed with a start, "True intent! Ye Yuan, he actually grasped true intent! That is true intent! How can it be grasped by people so easily? This . . . my opponent is actually somebody who grasped true intent?"


    Ti Wujiu shot him a glance and comforted him. "Little Wu, this is an opportunity for you. Cast aside your thoughts about gains or losses. You''ll reap great rewards."


    But Cheng Wu said in a beaten manner, "Sigh, each and every one of you are too perverse! I don''t have that level of perception. Exchanging blows with him is also futile."


    Ti Wujiu shook his head while smiling and did not say any more.


    He was aware of Cheng Wu''s talent. Although not outstandingly talented, he was not those sort of ordinary, mediocre people.


    It was just that his personality was reserved and he would easily flinch back when encountering problems. Such a personality was hard to accomplish anything great. Especially on the martial path, it was very difficult to have achievements.


    Cheng Wu falling to the bottom of the elite disciples was not unrelated to his personality.


    But it was useless for others to talk about this kind of thing no matter how much they try. He must realize it himself.


    True intent, the weight that these two words represented was seriously too great. When the audience below the stage heard Tian Yu''s words, they lost their cool.


    "Did you hear what Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu just said? He said that Ye Yuan grasped true intent! It''s grasped, not comprehended the elementary form of true intent!"


    "Impossible! Doesn''t this mean that Ye Yuan will surely become a powerhouse like Forefather You Wuya in the future? How many years has it been since a powerhouse like that has appeared in our Tranquil Cloud Sect?"


    "I refuse to believe it! How is this possible? How can something like comprehending true intent be so easy?"


    While debates ran wild below the stage, Ye Yuan who was opposite Tian Yu smiled and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu has sharp eyes. However . . . you''re probably not going to admit defeat so easily, right?"


    Tian Yu acknowledge it magnanimously, "Since you''ve already fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, then all of my sword moves are already useless to you. I can only use other methods. While using strength to crush others is a little unorthodox, I no longer have any other options. As a martial artist, I don''t wish to lose!"


    The meaning of these words from Tian Yu was that he was going to use cultivation realm to crush Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not feel that there was anything inappropriate about that. Standing on the platform, nobody wanted to lose, including him, Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan saw a thick fighting intent from Tian Yu''s eyes, and he involuntarily understood in his heart.


    Looks like the conversation previously had a huge impact on Tian Yu.


    This match held extraordinary meaning to Tian Yu.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Where did this come from, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu? Cultivation realm is originally a part of one''s strength. How is this winning through unorthodox means? But I''m afraid that it isn''t going to be so easy for Senior Apprentice Brother to win me!"


    Senior Apprentice Brother burst into laughter and said, "Since that''s the case, we''ll know after competing!"


    "Please, Senior Apprentice Brother!" Ye Yuan did an inviting gesture.


    Tian Yu nodded and released his full aura. The aura belonging to a half-step Crystal Formation Realm was exhibited in its entirety!


    "Careful, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye! I''m coming! Firecloud Finger!"


    Tian Yu had not even finished talking when his entire person already vanished from where he was!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze condensed. A sense of extreme danger descended!


    With his eyesight, he actually only saw a blurry silhouette of Tian Yu.


    No time left to think, Ye Yuan directly wielded his sword and stabbed at that figure.


    Only to hear a ding, the Canghua Sword which had never failed before actually slipped out his hand!


    The Canghua sword drew a lone arc in the air and stabbed into the ground outside of the platform with a clang.


    But Tian Yu did not give Ye Yuan more time to be astonished. With a turn, another finger attacked! Looking at Tian Yu''s stance, it was actually to have a close-ranged tussle with Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to delay. Displaying Spirit Void Shattering Space to its limits, he barely managed to evade this attack.


    However, this was merely the beginning! Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger attacked Ye Yuan like a furious tempest.


    For a moment, danger surrounded Ye Yuan!


    Below the stage, it was already dead silent long ago.


    When Tian Yu discarded his sword, they all thought that the outcome of this battle was already set, but they did not expect the situation to change so suddenly. Ye Yuan''s spirit artifact was actually blasted away from Tian Yu''s finger, and he fell into the midst of a crisis.


    The plot reversed too quickly. Everyone did not manage to react to it for some time.


    "This . . . What''s going on? Is that really Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu?"


    "Firecloud Finger is a Tier 3 fire attribute martial technique! I never knew that Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu was actually so strong in terms of the concept of fire!"


    "Yeah! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu had never used fire-attribute martial techniques before in front of others. Everybody thought that he only knew how to use the sword. Most likely, nobody would have thought that Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s fire attribute martial technique was actually so powerful!"


    "Although the Firecloud Finger is only a low-grade Tier 3 martial technique, for Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu to be able to blast away Ye Yuan''s spirit artifact, it''s most likely already trained to the Great Circle Realm, right? He is only 18 years old this year. Not only did he comprehend an extremely powerful sword intent, he even comprehended the concept of fire to such a level! Truly heaven-defying!"


    "Ye Yuan''s in danger now! The reason he could leap ranks to battle so exaggeratedly before was by relying on his sword intent. Now that his sword has left his hand, it''s equivalent to a bird losing its wings. Under such a situation where the gap in cultivation realm is so huge, defeat is something inevitable. However, his movement technique is incredibly swift. He can actually last so many moves under Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s attacks!"


    "I initially thought that Ye Yuan was going to take the place of Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu this time, but I didn''t think that the path through the mountain ridges would wind so. Looks like Ye Yuan''s legend is going to end here!"

 Chapter 275: Reversal!

    Chapter 275: Reversal!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Everyone did not think that Tian Yu actually trained fire attribute martial techniques to such a level.


    On the platform, Tian Yu and Ye Yuan''s movements were swift to the extreme. Only to see two afterimages flittering around over there.


    Within the afterimages, a red light drew a very peculiar line. That was Tian Yu''s fire-red finger.


    The Firecloud Finger was an extremely powerful type of close-combat skill. Its might was extremely great!


    Even if Ye Yuan were brushed by Tian Yu''s fingertips, he would most likely lose his ability to fight immediately. If he were struck directly by it, then the outcome would be really hard to say.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength was great, he was only at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm after all. His protective essence energy was much weaker compared to a half-step Crystal Formation Realm.


    Tian Yu did not treat Ye Yuan as an opponent who could not withstand a single blow. He was currently going all out and did not hold anything back!


    Once any accidents happened, then the outcome would really be up in the air.


    Xiao Jian and Luo Qingfeng who were presently spectating the battle from a distance were also filled with apprehension. With their vision, they could naturally see what was happening on the platform clearly.


    It was precisely so that these two people''s match appeared to be even more heart-startling and soul-stirring!


    Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger did not leave Ye Yuan''s vital points every move. Furthermore, his movements were very nimble. Each move was as swift as before, forcing Ye Yuan until he had no strength to retaliate!


    "Sect Master, if it goes on like this, I fear that an accident will happen! Ye Yuan, he . . ." said Xiao Jian with worry, seeing Ye Yuan in a treacherous situation.


    But Luo Qingfeng shook his head and said, "The clash between two great geniuses is something inevitable. This match holds extraordinary meaning. If you or I go out to prevent this match, it will be incredibly detrimental to them!"


    "But fists and kicks have no eyes; what if something were to happen to Ye Yuan?"


    "The birth of a peerless powerhouse is inevitably born from trampling on the shoulders of countless geniuses! If Ye Yuan doesn''t make it past this round, it shows that he lacks the potential to become a peerless powerhouse. Moreover, if we move to stop this, Ye Yuan would lose. Geniuses can lose, but I think that Ye Yuan definitely would not wish to lose in such a manner!"


    Seeing that Luo Qingfeng did not have any intention of stopping this, Xiao Jian was extremely worried. However, he also understood that what Luo Qingfeng said was very reasonable.


    When Tian Yu abandoned his sword, Ye Yuan probably already guessed that he had some other backup plans.


    Facing an expert like Tian Yu, Ye Yuan daring to continue the battle showed that he also wanted to win this match very much.


    Thinking up to here, Xiao Jian forcibly suppressed the impulse to stop this and continue watching the match.


    Tian Yu''s attack became increasingly quicker. Ye Yuan already activated Essence Energy Ignition, barely avoiding Tian Yu''s attacks by coupling it with Spirit Void Shattering Space!


    But this move, Essence Energy Ignition, had one flaw, which was that the consumption rate of essence energy would surge!


    In a match where the expenditure of essence energy was so titanic, how long could Ye Yuan''s essence energy sustain it?


    The situation was becoming progressively unfavorable to Ye Yuan! Once his essence energy was depleted, he could be in mortal danger!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is really too strong! The Firecloud Finger uses fire amplification concept to increase the attack power. He trained it to the Great Circle Realm. The attack power of his finger right now is probably no longer weaker than using his sword, right? Discarding the sword to use the finger. Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is truly a combat genius!"


    "Ye Yuan''s might is also unexpected! To think that even without a sword in his hand, he can actually forcibly withstand so many moves from Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu! Furthermore, I see that Ye Yuan''s movements seem to be faster than before. But in this short while, his essence energy has already depleted by nearly half. Most likely, he also has some ways of augmenting his movements, right?"


    "Yeah! But Ye Yuan is trying to seek temporary relief regardless of the consequences! Once his essence energy is exhausted, he''ll be in danger!"


    "What you said is right! En? Hang on! Did you notice that Ye Yuan''s speed seems to be increasing more and more, but the essence energy expenditure is gradually slowing?"


    "That''s true! If you didn''t say, I wouldn''t have noticed. Ye Yuan''s essence energy expenditure was very rapid just now, but it became slower now! Moreover, the speed of him evading Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s attacks is becoming increasingly faster. Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu almost can''t keep up with his speed anymore!"


    "This . . . What''s going on?"


    On the platform, the more Tian Yu fought, the more alarmed he became!


    Ye Yuan combusted his essence energy to raise his movement speed. The consumption of his essence energy increased several folds. Although it forcefully raised his speed for a period of time, just as that person said, it was a fighting style that sought temporary relief by disregarding consequences.


    Because his movement speed augmented by him igniting his essence energy simply could not shake off Tian Yu''s attacks.


    After several dozen moves, Ye Yuan''s essence energy could not quite support it anymore. His speed started to fall once more.


    But Tian Yu became fiercer the more he fought by relying on his high cultivation realm and immense essence energy. His attacking speed did not lower but increased instead!


    After waxing and waning, Ye Yuan''s situation became increasingly more perilous!


    Just a moment ago, Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger was virtually about to touch Ye Yuan already!


    Just that tiny last stretch!


    But who knew why, Ye Yuan''s movement speed suddenly increased again!


    Just now, Ye Yuan was clearly already at his limits. Why did it look like the last spurt of energy before collapsing?


    Tian Yu''s finger came closer and closer to Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan''s dodging also became increasingly relaxed, no longer as strenuous as before!


    Finally, the tip of Ye Yuan''s feet tapped lightly, and he dodged several dozen feet away, pulling apart the distance between him and Tian Yu!


    "Sword Driving Technique!"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan let out a light cry, and soul force undulated out!


    Not far away, Canghua Sword which was stabbed into the ground gave off a series of hums and actually moved by itself!


    Tian Yu''s expression changed drastically when he saw the situation. He pounced forward once more.


    But how could Ye Yuan give him another chance?


    Only to hear Canghua Sword pull out from the ground with a ding, then with a cold flash, it attacked Tian Yu directly!


    The Canghua Sword flew through the air. Its speed was much faster than Tian Yu.


    In only a blink of an eye, the Canghua Sword already arrived in front of Tian Yu!


    Tian Yu could only give up on attacking Ye Yuan and turned around to deal with Canghua Sword.


    Tian Yu''s vision was exceedingly good. His finger once again accurately tapped the sword''s body, blasting the Canghua Sword away.


    Except that this time, the Canghua Sword did not land on the ground like before. Instead, it drew a single arc through the air and attack Tian Yu once more.


    Just like this, one sword and a person actually tangled together!


    Canghua Sword could not break through Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger, while Tian Yu similarly could not break past the Canghua Sword to attack Ye Yuan.


    The pair entered a stalemate once again.


    "This . . . What sword art is this? To actually . . . actually remotely control the sword to attack! Such an attack method is seriously inconceivable!"


    "Just now, Ye Yuan clearly could not hold on anymore, why did his movements become increasingly faster all of a sudden like he was on stimulants?! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu nearly succeeded earlier, but he actually escaped just like that!"


    "Ye Yuan is truly too scary! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu holds all the advantages, but he still managed to pull it back. Furthermore, he even used such a profound sword driving skill!"


    "En? This sword driving technique is definitely a divine soul mystic art! Can you guys feel it? Ye Yuan''s soul force is actually even stronger than high-rank Alchemy Masters!"


    "Hiss . . . Just how on earth did this fellow cultivate? A 15-year-old Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm who grasped true intent and his soul force is even ridiculously powerful! Is this fellow really human?"

 Chapter 276: Opportunity!

    Chapter 276: Opportunity!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan''s current soul force could no longer be compared to the past. It could already sustain the Sword Driving Technique for some time.


    It was just that the requirement the Sword Driving Technique had towards soul force was too high. He could not keep it up for too long either.


    Furthermore, while the Sword Driving Technique was strong, when facing a half-step Crystal Formation Realm expert like Tian Yu, it was still unable to gain any advantages.


    After over a dozen rounds, Ye Yuan withdrew his soul force and brought the Canghua Sword back.


    This time, Tian Yu did not seize the opportunity to pursue. He understood that the same method was already useless towards Ye Yuan!


    Tian Yu looked at Ye Yuan with eyes like burning torches, appearing very excited.


    It was apparent that the battle earlier was to his heart''s content.


    "Looks like you had some kind of breakthrough during the exchange just now. Otherwise, it''s impossible to escape from my attack range!" Tian Yu said.


    Ye Yuan reached out to receive the Canghua Sword and nodded as he said, "Actually, I primarily cultivate a fire-attribute cultivation method. But, I keep being unable to learn the rudiments of the concept of fire. Just now, under your enormous pressure, I actually had some gains."


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing when he talked about.


    In fact, compared to sword intent, Ye Yuan''s first breakthrough should be the concept of fire. After all, he basically had contact with fire the whole of his previous life and was all too familiar with it.


    But the previous life''s Ji Qingyun was simply uninterested in cultivation and never comprehended the concept of fire.


    In this life, he stepped onto the Nine Heavens Road by chance. Ye Yuan relied on his own perception to directly fuse together the sword intents, forming the elementary form of a supreme true intent.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan naturally placed his emphasis on comprehending sword intent and also created two extremely powerful sword moves: the Nine Swords Stance and Thousand Flowing Petals.


    But he cultivated in the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art for such a long time and did not even comprehend a single type of fire attribute true intent.


    One must know that the Spirit Bristle Divine King relied on this one cultivation method to comprehend several types of supreme true intent!


    The might of this cultivation method was clear at a glance!


    But comprehending true intent required opportunities and needed fortuitous encounters. Ye Yuan was unable to find this opportunity and lucky chance this whole time.


    But today, Tian Yu used the Tier 3 fire attribute martial technique, Firecloud Finger, to push him into a desperate situation, and finally unlocked this opportunity!


    In reality, the Firecloud Finger and Ye Yuan''s Essence Energy Ignition had the same profundities of achieving the same results with different means. They both augmented the power of the martial technique through igniting the essence energy within the body.


    They encompassed a type of auxiliary concept of fire attribute concepts: Transmission True Intent!


    This was actually a kind of very obscure concept. Exceedingly few people would go and comprehend it.


    Fire had no constant form but was an existence that could transform its own energy into other forms.


    Such as boiling water where fire could transfer energy into the pot and water. This was actually a kind of energy transfer to the pot and water.


    In life, such examples were prevalent. The ignition of essence energy had the same principle.


    However, compared to a purely auxiliary martial technique like Essence Energy Ignition, there was still an offensive concept contained within the Firecloud Finger. That was why its power was so great.


    Although Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger was not on par with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, his comprehension of fire attribute concepts was above Ye Yuan!


    From this aspect, Tian Yu''s talent was indeed startling!


    And under the pressure from Tian Yu, Ye Yuan actually produced some sort of resonance with Tian Yu''s Firecloud Finger!


    It was precisely this sort of resonance that let Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards transmission true intent become even deeper. Essence Energy Ignition, this auxiliary martial technique instantly broke through its bottleneck and achieved the Great Circle Realm!


    When Essence Energy Ignition reached the Great Circle Rank, the essence energy that Essence Energy Ignition burned became very little, but the power increased dramatically!


    This was also why it was like Ye Yuan became another person; his movement speed becoming extremely quick.


    Ye Yuan had close contact with fire all his life and was extremely sensitive to fire from the start. He just lacked an opportunity.


    Now that this gate opened up, Ye Yuan would become completely unstoppable!


    Ye Yuan was presently also in a very excited state. Having Tian Yu who trained in fire attribute martial techniques was the most ideal opponent for Ye Yuan!


    He needed Tian Yu''s help to comprehend this true intent in one stroke!


    "Haha, excellent! Just now during this battle, I also had some gains and was just about to find you to test them out!" Tian Yu suddenly said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he was clearly surprised. He could not help asking, "Then do we continue?"


    Tian Yu nodded but said, "Just a moment."


    When he finished talking, Tian Yu slowly walked towards the sword that he threw away earlier.


    "En? What''s Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu doing? Why did he go over to pick up the sword?"


    "He''s not planning on continuing to compete in the sword with Ye Yuan, right?"


    "Are you kidding? Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu even used Luminous Moon High Above just now and it was completely useless against Ye Yuan! Isn''t competing using swords with Ye Yuan is looking for a brutal beating?"


    Under everyone''s stupefied eyes, Tian Yu picked up the sword on the ground and gave a light swing. He turned to Ye Yuan and said, "Let''s continue!"


    With a sword in his hands, Tian Yu''s entire aura transformed.


    Ye Yuan could clearly sense that the current Tian Yu was already completely different from the Tian Yu who was wielding the sword at the very beginning!


    When Tian Yu unleashed Luminous Moon High Above as his first move, he had no confidence at all back then. But now, Ye Yuan could sense Tian Yu''s powerful confidence!


    Could it be . . .


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly as he said with a smile, "Congratulations, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu! You seemed to have really found your own path!"


    Tian Yu was also rejoicing currently. He smiled and said, "I still have to thank Junior Apprentice Brother Ye! Without you, perhaps I may never stride out this step! In order to express my gratitude . . . I''ll personally defeat you!"


    "Haha, come on!" Ye Yuan said.


    Tian Yu did not use Luminous Moon High Above again. It was a plain and simple straight stab without any showy manner!


    But Ye Yuan felt an extremely strong pressure coming from the front of this simple stab!


    This strike, Tian Yu''s sword actually suffused with traces of red light.


    When Xiao Jian saw this scene, his pupils constricted!


    "Elementary form of true intent! Tian Yu, he . . . comprehended the elementary form of a true intent!"


    Luo Qingfeng was also quite flustered right now. "How many years has it been?! How many years has it been since a powerhouse who possesses true intent has appeared in our Tranquil Cloud Sect?! Looks like heaven is really protecting my Tranquil Cloud Sect! First, there''s Ye Yuan. Now, there Tian Yu! There''s hope for the resurgence of my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    They were still currently unaware that the Long Tang who entered the sect together with Ye Yuan also comprehended the elementary form of a true intent too.


    Luo Qingfeng was quite unsettled currently. When he knew that Ye Yuan had grasped true intent, although he was happy, he was not as agitated as right now.


    Because he knew that Ye Yuan''s monstrousness had already surpassed the boundaries of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He definitely would not stay in the Tranquil Cloud Sect contently in the future!


    There would come a day where Ye Yuan would leave the Tranquil Cloud Sect! And this day might not be too far away!


    Ye Yuan''s growth was too rapid, so quick that the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect could not keep up with his footsteps!


    But the significance of Tian Yu comprehending the elementary form of true intent was different!


    Tian Yu was Grand Elder Skymaple''s grandson. He was born in the Tranquil Cloud Sect and grew up in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. His root lied with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    As long as Tian Yu matures, he would absolutely lead the Tranquil Cloud Sect towards power!


    Moreover, different from Ye Yuan, Tian Yu''s road to maturity was still long.


    He had just comprehended the elementary form of true intent. There was still at least one to two hundred years to become a top powerhouse of the Endless World!

 Chapter 277: Let It Seethe!

    Chapter 277: Let It Seethe!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Due to the loss of cultivation methods, Tranquil Cloud Sect members found it challenging to even break through to the Soul Sea Realm. Their situation even deteriorated these few years steadily.


    If Tian Yu could rely on the true intent that he perceived himself to breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm and even higher realms, the significance would be too great to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Luo Qingfeng''s gaze suddenly turned towards Ye Yuan, and he said with a marveling sigh, "Xiao Jian, did you notice that ever since Ye Yuan entered the sect, there have been many changes happening silently in the sect?"


    Xiao Jian was stunned and could not help recalling the incidents that happened around Ye Yuan during this period of time.


    "Uh, it''s true. If Sect Master didn''t say, I wouldn''t even think of it! Martial Uncle Skymaple entering closed-seclusion, problems that troubled the various Pill Hall elders all resolved one after another, and now, Tian Yu actually comprehended the elementary form of a true intent! Thinking how it has been only slightly more than a month''s time since Ye Yuan entered the sect, so many changes actually happened in the sect!"


    Xiao Jian tallied the changes that Ye Yuan brought to the sect in detail and could not help being shocked.


    Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Someone like Ye Yuan can no longer be described with genius! He''s a person with a great destiny. The people around him can obtain enormous benefits! His master is surely an earthshaking figure who will also give off extraordinary splendor when he enters the Divine Realm in the future. And for my Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to take in Ye Yuan is also a turning point to change the sect''s destiny! Xiao Jian, you have the greatest contributions to have brought Ye Yuan into the sect! If Ye Yuan and the Tranquil Cloud Sect fell out because of Yao Qian, it would definitely be a catastrophic disaster in the future!"


    Xiao Jian was stricken with terror when he heard that!


    Back then, he had no understanding of Ye Yuan at all. It was only due to Lu Yan that he garnered interest.


    Even when Ye Yuan cleared the Nine Heavens Road at the Essence Qi Realm, he only felt that Ye Yuan had a lot of potentials and nothing more.


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan could actually have the power to transform the entire sect!


    Thinking about it now, he felt unbelievably blessed.


    . . . . . .


    On the platform, facing this sword from Tian Yu, Ye Yuan did not dare to slight him. Essence Energy Ignition was released fully.


    "Nine Swords Stance! Nine Swords as One!"


    Nine Swords as One was Ye Yuan''s strongest attack apart from Thousand Flowing Petals. Facing this astonishing attack from Tian Yu, Ye Yuan had to give it his all!


    Only to see a blinding yellow sword light and a fire-red sword light clash together!


    Boom!


    A violent explosion sound echoed out. An extremely powerful blast spread out.


    "Quickly dodge! The platform is about to give way!" someone suddenly cried out from the crowd.


    Actually, other people already spread out on their own accord without needing him to call out. A large stretch of no-man''s-land appeared around the platform.


    There were array formations protecting the surroundings of the platform which could defend against the full power attack of a middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!


    The strongest among the core disciples was only half-step Crystal Formation Realm. This defensive formation was already more than enough.


    But these two people''s powerful attacks had already far surpassed this scope. The platform''s defensive formation was currently cracking apart inch by inch and was finally blasted open by the force!


    Ye Yuan could already wound Yuan Fei when using the Nine Swords Stance at the Essence Qi Realm. Now that he was already at middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm, the power of the Nine Swords Stance increased by more than a level.


    But the power of Tian Yu''s sword who had comprehended the elementary form of a true intent was not worse off. When these two attacks collided together, how could a mere middle-rank Tier 3 defensive formation defend against it?


    Two silhouettes flew out backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.


    But the pair crawled up at the same time. Wiping the blood traces at the corner of their lips, they spoke unanimously, "Again!"


    As they said, the two people attacked each other with the same move once more without another word!


    "These two people have gone mad! Quickly dodge! Move further away!"


    "The defensive formation is already broken. We have to move further away to watch the battle, or else we''ll be the collateral damage!"


    A commotion immediately stirred from the crowd, but Ye Yuan and Tian Yu stood there like there was nobody around.


    Everyone had just evacuated a distance away when two attacks clashed together again!


    The two people no longer used any flashy martial techniques right now. It was purely the competition of sword intent, the clashing of strength in a barbaric manner!


    The sword intent that Tian Yu comprehended was naturally not as profound as Ye Yuan''s, but his cultivation realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s.


    Supplementing each other, the power of the two people''s sword moves were actually equally-matched!


    Another rumble, a blast billowed out again!


    Even when everyone had retreated far away, they also felt that formidable force gushing face-front.


    The two people flew backward again and crawled up together once more.


    "Hahaha! Invigorating! Again!" Tian Yu said gallantly.


    "I''ll accompany to the end!"


    Ye Yuan encountered a hard to come by opponent who was well-matched with him. This battle was also fought to his heart''s content.


    Most importantly, Ye Yuan already pushed Essence Energy Ignition to the limits. He had a feeling that comprehending the transmission true intent was not far away anymore!


    Battle was undoubtedly the best way to comprehend true intent.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Each time they clashed, the two people were blasted far apart, but they immediately crawled up stubbornly and faced-off again!


    "Are these two crazy? Their tank is already exhausted, and they''re still fighting!"


    "Yeah! Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s half-step Crystal Formation Realm strength also pretty much have very little essence energy left currently. I really don''t know Ye Yuan lasted until now!"


    "What''s even more maddening is that they already fought to such an extent and their attacks are still so fierce! The blasts produced from each clash is not a bit lesser than the previous clashes. How do they do it?"


    "Two demon-like existences. They seriously cannot be gauged using common sense!"


    The two people''s clashes shocked everyone until they were staring with mouths agape. Such a level of major battle was seldom seen in the sect.


    Even a showdown between two Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would not be so ferocious!


    Tian Yu could hang on until now purely by relying on his immense essence energy.


    But what Ye Yuan relied on to sustain until now was his comprehension towards true intent!


    Don''t look at how his attack power virtually did not drop, his essence energy consumption became lesser and lesser.


    Just a teensy bit more and he could comprehend another type of true intent!


    Ye Yuan was about to lose even the strength to lift his sword currently. He looked at Tian Yu who was on the other side wearily. He was not much better off than him.


    This was the last trace of essence energy in his Dantian!


    Just a little bit more! A little bit! I can''t lose! I still have to charge back to the Divine Realm, how can I lose here?


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out that last trace of essence energy.


    "Essence Energy Ignition! Let it seethe!"


    That final modicum of essence energy started rising like boiling water!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not feel any stagnation when revolving essence energy!


    That essence energy that was combusted away transformed into a waft of pure sword intent, entering the meridians from the Dantian, then from the meridians into the Canghua Sword!


    This instant, Ye Yuan felt unprecedentedly powerful!


    In the past, when using this Essence Energy Ignition, there would always be some diminution in essence energy which would be lost.


    What Ye Yuan pursued all this while was to convert this kind of essence energy, preserving it 100%, and releasing it using the Canghua Sword!


    But how could doing it 100% be easy?


    Each time he clashed with Tian Yu, Ye Yuan had been fumbling over how to reduce this sort of exhaustion to the minimum!


    Now, he finally did it!


    "Nine Swords Stance! Go for me!"


    Nine streaks of sword light combined into one. Those brilliant sword lights blinded everyone''s eyes!

 Chapter 278: The Rock That Fell!

    Chapter 278: The Rock That Fell!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    When he saw this final attack from Ye Yuan, a feeling of unable to overcome with force welled up in Tian Yu''s heart!


    Tian Yu planned to use the last bit of essence energy to continue to clash with Ye Yuan. But when he saw this move, he backed out right away.


    He used the last scrap of essence energy to push his movement martial technique, performing a dodging action with extreme speed!


    Screech!


    The sword light was impossibly swift. Tian Yu''s decision took only an instant.


    Just as Tian Yu''s body left the original spot, the sword light grazed past his ear and left behind a lock of hair.


    A second slower and this pinnacle genius who had just comprehended the elementary form of a true intent would have had his head separated from his body!


    Talking about it was slow, but all of this actually happened in an instant.


    In that instant earlier, everyone broke out in goosebumps and just felt a chill down their backs. Many people clenched their fists, and even their breathing became disorderly.


    This sword was too powerful!


    It would be certain death if forcefully receiving it head-on!


    When they saw Tian Yu dodge this sword, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.


    Tian Yu also breathed a sigh in relief. But when he reacted to it, he discovered that his back was already drenched.


    It was fortunate that his mind was sufficiently clear earlier. If he forcefully took this blow, he would be severely injured if not dead!


    But with this easing up, Tian Yu discovered that he did not even have the strength to lift his arms anymore. He plopped his bottom on the ground and panted heavily unceasingly.


    "Huu . . . Huu . . . You won, Ye Yuan!" Tian Yu said wheezily.


    His forehead was currently matted with sweat and his head propped on the sword hilt, simply unable to look up.


    It was just that there was no response for some time after he spoke and he could not help becoming puzzled.


    Straining to lift his head up, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently sitting cross-legged. He actually entered a meditative state!


    Did this fellow comprehend something else?


    Ye Yuan''s condition earlier was clearly even worse than his, but he released that unfathomable sword just for this comprehension?


    At this present moment, Tian Yu''s tiny bit of self-delight from comprehending the elementary form of a true intent already became non-existent.


    In front of Ye Yuan''s perception, he willingly acknowledged defeat!


    Just by looking at the power of that final sword and he knew that Ye Yuan comprehended something remarkable!


    Ka!


    Right then, a huge sound came from behind Tian Yu!


    Everyone turned their eyes over but were shocked until they were staring with their mouths agape.


    The rocky outcrop on Victory Peak not far behind Tian Yu was incomparably tough. At present, a huge chunk of rock actually slid down slowly!


    Chiii!


    Boom!


    That enormous mass of rock finally detached from Victory Peak and fell into the 100 thousand foot abyss behind the peak!


    After detaching, a bald patch was left on the main body. The cut was incredibly smooth.


    "This . . . This was left by Ye Yuan''s sword earlier?"


    "Ye Yuan''s sword just now actually sliced off this hunk of rock? That piece of rock that fell down just now was probably several thousand pounds in weight! It''s impossible, even for the average Crystal Formation Realm experts to slice it off with one swing, right?"


    "I thought that the slash released by Ye Yuan earlier was swallowed up by the mountain. Who knew that it actually left behind such a divine vestige!"


    The mountainous body which had a huge chunk shaved off looked especially glaring currently.


    Tian Yu stared at that level cut and his scalp involuntarily tingled! If he were impetuous just now and clashed with Ye Yuan''s move, would he still be standing here well and proper right now?


    Thinking up to here, Tian Yu''s cold sweat which had just stopped drenched his back once more.


    Not just Tian Yu, Luo Qingfeng and Xiao Jian were also stunned speechless for a long time when they saw this scene.


    When they recovered, they shuddered unceasingly after the event.


    If Tian Yu did not evade that attack at the last moment just now, what would be the outcome?


    Luo Qingfeng thought about it. Most likely, the best outcome was heavily injured or crippled. Furthermore, the chances of such an outcome occurring were exceedingly small.


    The greatest possibility was Tian Yu dropping dead!


    That way, they would really have rejoiced too soon. Furthermore, the troubles after the incident would be sufficient to give them a headache for a long time.


    "Ye Yuan is going to breakthrough again!" Luo Qingfeng was the first to recover. He looked at Ye Yuan who was sitting cross-legged far away and said.


    Except, he did not notice that his voice when speaking carried some trembling.


    Hearing Luo Qingfeng said so, Xiao Jian finally came around. He asked puzzledly, "He just broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm not long ago. Is he going to break through again?"


    Luo Qingfeng had a solemn face as he said, "He was already a spent force earlier, yet he released such a powerful attack. It''s evident that he comprehended something at the final juncture! Although Ye Yuan had not broken through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm for long, his realm is already very solid. Breaking through again is of no issue at all!"


    Xiao Jian''s mouth opened, but he did not know what to say.


    This Ye Yuan had truly surpassed the limits of his imaginations already.


    There were a good several hundred people spectating this final match. Currently, all eyes were focused on that slightly skinny figure in the center of the ruined platform.


    Indeed, before long, essence energy tempests howled on the initially calm and tranquil Victory Peak.


    "Essence energy storm! Ye Yuan, he . . . broke through!"


    "Turns out that breaking through realms can be so easy? I heard that when he just entered the sect, he was only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How long has it been only? He''s breaking through again!"


    "No, wait! This essence energy tempest is becoming bigger and bigger! Looks like it''s not just breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "Previously, he broke through two minor realms simultaneously, breaking through to the middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm directly. Can he also be breaking through two realms concurrently this time?"


    "Two realms? You got to be kidding! Look at this essence energy tempest! It''s even enough to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, right? What is this fellow trying to do?"


    Every time he broke through, Ye Yuan''s activities were much greater compared to others. Because the essence energy required for his breakthroughs were seriously too much.


    Activities that Ye Yuan felt were very normal appeared abnormally horrifying in other people''s eyes.


    The essence energy storm that he gathered was plenty to stuff a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm to death several times over!


    Before long, the essence energy that Ye Yuan had previously expended was already fully replenished, and he broke through smoothly to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    This to him was merely the lowest requirement. But to others, it was not the case.


    "En? Broke through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm so quickly? Why do I feel like he completely doesn''t have the feeling of breaking through a bottleneck?"


    ". . . Just based on that sword earlier, breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is just like a canal forming when water flows, right? Something like bottleneck is only used to encumber us. To geniuses like Ye Yuan, bottlenecks are simply just ornaments!"


    "True! Forget about Ye Yuan, even Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and the rest would have likely broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm already if not for comprehending concepts, right?"


    "That''s true! Comprehending concepts is laying a foundation. After comprehending concepts, breaking through realms will become much easier. Ye Yuan has already grasped true intent, so breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is indeed nothing much to him."


    Under everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan started advancing towards the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm successfully. This was also within everyone''s expectations.


    However . . . it was not over yet!

 Chapter 279: Uninvited Guest!

    Chapter 279: Uninvited Guest!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan previously broke through three minor realms in one breath on the Nine Heavens Road. At that time, it amazed everyone in the Dan Wu Academy.


    But compared to now, that time did not even count as anything.


    The difficulty of raising a minor realm in the Spirit Condensation Realm was more than ten times harder compared to the Essence Qi Realm!


    But even so, Ye Yuan still went and did it without any hesitation.


    To him, there was no so-called bottleneck. Furthermore, the current Ye Yuan had already comprehended the elementary form of supreme true intent and also comprehended the transmission true intent.


    Consecutively breaking through three minor realms was no longer considered much to Ye Yuan.


    One had to know that the vast majority of martial artists in the Endless World would never be able to comprehend a type of true intent throughout their entire lives. From this, it could be seen how high the starting point for true intent was.


    But the way others saw it, this was completely not the case.


    "This . . . Is he breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm already? Is there a mistake?"


    "Since when can breaking through realms be done in leaps and bounds like this?"


    "This is not a minor realm! Ye Yuan, he''s breaking through from middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm to late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm directly! Although Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and the rest emphasized on perceiving concepts, to let them break through in full force, it''s also impossible to be like Ye Yuan, right?"


    It was no wonder that they were amazed. For normal breakthroughs, it would probably take several months'' time even for geniuses like Tian Yu and Ti Wujiu.


    Breaking through like Ye Yuan, first, let''s not talk about whether they would be stuffed to death by the essence energy storm. Even if they broke through realms, they would probably spend even more time to consolidate it.


    This way, the losses outweigh the gains.


    . . . . . .


    At this precise moment, a disciple reported to Luo Qingfeng. "Sect Master, an envoy has arrived from the Heavenly Sky Sect! H-He already arrived at Victory Peak!"


    Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why are you showing such misconduct? Do you still need me to teach you all this?"


    When visiting other sects, most would wait for the host in the main hall and only meet after the disciple reported it. There was absolutely no such logic as roaming wildly.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s envoy''s actions were showing extreme impertinence to the host.


    When Luo Qingfeng heard that the Heavenly Sky Sect''s envoy had already arrived at Victory Peak, his first reaction was naturally that the reporting disciple was insensible and directly brought the person over here.


    That disciple said aggrievedly, "I asked the envoy to wait in the main hall for me to report to the sect master, but he followed here right away! He even said . . . even said . . ."


    "Said what?"


    "This disciple dare not say."


    "I asked you to say, so say it. What are you stammering for?"


    The disciple gritted his teeth and said, "He said that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is only slightly stronger than second-rate sects and is simply undeserving of the title of one of the Eight Great Sects. The Heavenly Sky Sect is the leader of the Southern Domain''s great sects. As the Heavenly Sky Sect''s envoy, having a look around is giving us Tranquil Cloud Sect face! I . . . I was afraid . . . so I brought him here directly."


    The disciple was filled with righteous indignation when talking. It was apparent that he was filled with pent-up anger.


    Xiao Jian flew into a rage when he heard that and said, "Heavenly Sky Sect is really going too far! Sect Master, in my view, just drive him out directly! Provoking our Tranquil Cloud Sect like this, we have the moral high ground no matter where we go!"


    The disciple also had a face full of righteous anger by the side. He was clearly very much in agreement with Hall Head Xiao''s opinion.


    Earlier, that envoy''s high and mighty appearance nearly made him give him a slap across the face.


    But Luo Qingfeng was not as agitated as Xiao Jian. He said to the disciple, "Didn''t he come with you? Where is he?"


    "The envoy seemed to have seen something interesting just now at the plaza, so he stayed. This disciple was afraid that I would bungle matters, so I rushed over to report to sect master," the disciple said.


    Luo Qingfeng''s expression already returned to normal currently. He nodded and said, "You did pretty well. I''m the one who wronged you. Bring me to see this envoy."


    "Sect Master! We''ve already suffered enough of the Heavenly Sky Sect''s bullying these few years. Now, even a measly little envoy dares to ride on top of our heads to take a dump!" Xiao Jian said indignantly.


    Luo Qingfeng looked at Xiao Jian and said with a sigh, "While it is of a noble character to die in glory rather than live on in dishonor, in my position, I must make considerations for the sect''s future! Regardless of whether it''s Ye Yuan, Ti Wujiu, or Tian Yu. They are all the sect''s future! And our mission is not to show bravery for a moment, but to ensure the growth of these geniuses!"


    Xiao Jian''s gaze turned intent as he said, "But . . . the Heavenly Sky Sect is too much of a bully! Even a puny little envoy dares to strut around in front of us now; let alone others! We''re at least the upper echelons of a sect, there''s no need to grovel before an envoy, right?"


    Luo Qingfeng''s face fell, and he said, "Xiao Jian! You''re too na?ve! In the martial arts world, it has always been the strong who reigns supreme! Don''t you have even this bit of understanding? Dignity isn''t given to you by others, but it''s you who award it to yourself! If you and I have the strength of Soul Sea Realm, why would we need to adapt to their mood? Now that several fine saplings have finally appeared in our sect, they mustn''t be ruined in our hands!"


    Luo Qingfeng''s words made Xiao Jian unbelievably dejected.


    It had always been the strong who reigned supreme in the martial arts world. Weaklings were only eliminated and not sympathized.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful, that was why their sect members dared to be so unbridled!


    Although Xiao Jian''s way of doing things could obtain a momentary comfort, the aftermath would be too serious.


    Once they were given a handle, the Heavenly Sky Sect might just use it as an opportunity to start a sect war with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    In that case, the consequences would be serious!


    This was not raising a false alarm. The Heavenly Sky Sect''s wild ambitions were already laid bare in the open. Initiating a sect war was a possibility.


    With the Heavenly Sky Sect''s strength, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be hard-pressed to escape the fate of having the sect annihilated.


    The disparity between the number one great sect and a bottom-tier sect was seriously too great!


    In the Heavenly Sky Sect, just the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses numbered quite a few! While the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had Skymaple this one Soul Sea Realm powerhouse.


    Grand Elder Skymaple was even just an alchemist. His combat power was negligible.


    With such a great disparity, the Heavenly Sky Sect being somewhat arrogant was within reason.


    As the master of a sect, Luo Qingfeng naturally could not be like Xiao Jian when considering problems. He had to consider the big picture.


    Especially after watching the fight earlier, Luo Qingfeng was even less willing to start a fight with the Heavenly Sky Sect easily.


    As long as Ye Yuan could rise rapidly, what did the Heavenly Sky Sect count as?


    Before the wings were fully feathered, forbearance was very necessary.


    Before long, the disciple led Luo Qingfeng and Xiao Jian to see the Heavenly Sky Sect''s envoy.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Yu, Sect Master Luo has arrived," the disciple introduced.


    The envoy shot a casual glance at Luo Qingfeng but did not have the slightest intention of greeting. His gaze returned to Ye Yuan who was currently breaking through.


    His haughty manner was completely unmasked!


    "Sect Master Luo, is there a need for so many people to surround and watch a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist breakthrough? When did your Tranquil Cloud Sect fall to such a plight?"


    The envoy watched Ye Yuan who was sitting cross-legged, his words filled with mockery.


    The envoy was a young man around 18 or 19 years old but already had a cultivation of Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Such an age, such strength, placed in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it was absolutely the status of a personal disciple!


    Except, the first sentence when meeting him made people very displeased.

 Chapter 280: Cutting In!

    Chapter 280: Cutting In!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Luo Qingfeng did not get angry. He just used a very peculiar expression to look at this young envoy.


    When the envoy saw that Luo Qingfeng had no reaction after a long time, he involuntarily became secretly displeased.


    When the envoy turned around and saw Luo Qingfeng''s expression, he could not help being stupefied. He asked in puzzlement, "Why? Did I say it wrong? Could this Spirit Condensation Realm fellow have anything special?"


    "Haha, not really all that special. It''s just that he just obtained victory and had some comprehension during the fight, so he took advantage of the opportunity to break through. That''s why there are so many people surrounding and watching," Luo Qingfeng explained with a smile.


    The envoy had a disdainful look when he heard that. "If I didn''t see wrongly, this boy seems to have gotten first place?"


    As he was talking, he shook his head and said pityingly, "Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is really declining with the passing of time. A Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm boy can actually obtain first place in the sect grand competition. What a joke!"


    Xiao Jian was originally standing by the side patiently. When he heard such words, he immediately wanted to step forward and lose it but was held back by Luo Qingfeng.


    "What? Hall Head Xiao seems to have some disgruntlement with me! Come, come, come! Just come! As long as you''re not afraid of my master coming over to take revenge!"


    Seeing Xiao Jian''s furious appearance, the envoy did not know what was called fear. Instead, he brought out his own master, and his arrogance became even more inflated.


    Luo Qingfeng was actually already furious to the limit in his heart, but as the sect master, he had no choice but to suppress this anger.


    This envoy clearly recognized him and Xiao Jian, but they had never met him, so they naturally did not know which mighty deity his master was.


    "Xiao Jian, you withdraw first!"


    "Sect Master!"


    "Withdraw!"


    Xiao Jian gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and left.


    Seeing Xiao Jian leave, Luo Qingfeng turned around and asked, "Your master is?"


    When the envoy saw that Luo Qingfeng did not even dare to let out a fart, he became even more pleased with himself secretly. That head of his was raised until it was about to reach the skies.


    "My master is Chi Zongtao. I am master''s personal disciple, Li Zhangyu," Li Zhangyu said with a proud beam.


    Luo Qingfeng naturally would not make a fool of himself in front of a junior, but he was alarmed in his heart.


    Of course, he knew this Chi Zongtao. He was one of the grand elders of the Heavenly Sky Sect: a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    Weighing things this way, this punk was the same generation as him?


    No wonder this punk dared to be so insolent. Turned out that he actually had such a backing.


    Pressing down the unhappiness in his heart, Luo Qingfeng asked, "What did your honored sect send you here for?"


    Li Zhangyu said, "Of course, it''s for something good! But this matter will have to wait for later. Right now, I just had a sudden burst of inspiration and feel like I''m about to break through realms right away. This place is pretty good. I''m going to break through here!"


    Finishing, without even waiting for Luo Qingfeng to agree, he scurried over to not far from Ye Yuan with a flash.


    Luo Qingfeng''s expression changed. It was already too late to try and stop this. Li Zhangyu''s essence energy storm had already started to gather.


    The two essence energy storms converged together very quickly. If Luo Qingfeng made a move to disrupt Li Zhangyu''s breakthrough, it would definitely also interrupt Ye Yuan''s breakthrough!


    Luo Qingfeng gnashed his teeth in hatred. Looks like this Li Zhangyu was spoiled rotten by Chi Zongtao. He was actually so willful when doing things.


    How was this Li Zhangyu going to break through? This was clearly him wanting to smack Tranquil Cloud Sect''s face!


    This Li Zhangyu was at Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. Now, he was going to break through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm. But Ye Yuan was only breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How could he compare to Li Zhangyu?


    The essence energy storm momentum would surely be devoured cleanly if Ye Yuan broke through beside a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!


    Li Zhangyu had wicked thoughts. This was him wanting to make Ye Yuan fail his breakthrough by breaking through himself at the same time!


    Once Ye Yuan failed his breakthrough, Tranquil Cloud Sect would have lost face completely!


    Moreover, failing the breakthrough this time would surely cast a very large shadow on Ye Yuan. Wanting to break through again would no longer be that easy!


    Li Zhangyu was evidently a clever person. Although Luo Qingfeng spoke vaguely earlier, he also guessed that Ye Yuan must have some aspects surpassing others.


    Furthermore, to be able to obtain the number one in the grand competition with Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, regardless whether it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect lacking successors or not, Ye Yuan unquestionably had some saving graces.


    Sweeping away the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s face in public and also ruining the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s genius disciple and even spreading the fame of the Heavenly Sky Sect. It was truly killing three birds with one arrow!


    When Luo Qingfeng thought up to here, he was so enraged that his complexion turned green, but he was powerless to do anything.


    Li Zhangyu might be arrogant, but he also indeed had the capital to be arrogant. The essence energy storm was gathered casually. This unhurried manner was ample to show his might.


    When martial artists broke through realms, which one of them would not make ample preparations?


    Li Zhangyu did it on the spot. Clearly, he was full of confidence. That was also to say, breaking through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm was not even considered much to Li Zhangyu.


    Such boldness, among the younger generation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, there was simply no one like it.


    Luo Qingfeng finally just let out a sigh. Now, in this kind of situation, Ye Yuan could only count on himself.


    Or perhaps, Ye Yuan could create a miracle.


    If it were another person, Luo Qingfeng might just really move to stop this. But Ye Yuan could never be measured using common sense.


    Some things that would never happen to others became uncertain with Ye Yuan.


    After all, there was simply no martial artist who grasped true intent in the Southern Domain.


    Ye Yuan was the sole person!


    In a blink, storms raged in the entire plaza. The two essence energy storms towered to the skies and meshed together.


    Initially, Ye Yuan''s essence energy tempest was already very exaggerated. But Li Zhangyu''s essence energy storm was more than a level stronger.


    Li Zhangyu was a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The commotion when breaking through was obviously different.


    With a fellow suddenly popping out to breakthrough, they naturally got a feast for their eyes.


    "Who''s this person? Why have I never heard that we had such a senior apprentice brother?"


    "What''s this person trying to do? Why does he have to squeeze with Ye Yuan if he wants to break through and not find a place to enter seclusion?"


    "The situation is not quite right! This person is a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The essence energy tempest that he created is so powerful! Essence energy storms are originally used to plunder the surrounding essence energy for one''s own use. The essence energy storm that he created is already starting to pillage Ye Yuan''s!"


    "Ye Yuan''s in danger! If his essence energy storm is looted, then his hope of breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm will be dashed to pieces! There might even be the danger of cultivation realm falling!"


    "What kind of mysterious person this is? Such a powerful aura! A Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist''s breakthrough actually has such great commotion!"


    Many people started to worry for Ye Yuan. Compared to a stranger, everyone naturally hoped for Ye Yuan to breakthrough.


    Except, everyone sensed that the essence energy storm on Ye Yuan''s side was becoming increasingly weaker. Ye Yuan''s breakthrough also fell into a precarious situation, as if there would be signs of stopping at any time.


    If Ye Yuan and Li Zhangyu competed in supreme true intent, these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples would absolutely not worry for him.


    Ye Yuan had grasped true intent. Forget that Li Zhangyu was just at Crystal Formation Realm, even if he was at the Sea Transformation Realm, or even the Soul Sea Realm, they did not think that Li Zhangyu could win.


    But they were breaking through cultivation realms currently, seizing essence energy.


    This way, Ye Yuan''s true intent would not come in handy at all. Instead, his cultivation realm became his greatest disadvantage.


    How could a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist possibly be a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist''s match in plundering essence energy?

 Chapter 281: Li Zhangyu’s Strength!

    Chapter 281: Li Zhangyu��s Strength!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan''s breakthrough at just reached a critical juncture when he suddenly felt the essence energy around him diminishing and was almost unable to support his breakthrough anymore.


    The occurrence of such a situation made him feel rather baffled.


    Opening his eyes slightly, he saw someone else besides him. This person was apparently breaking through too.


    The other person''s essence energy tempest was much stronger than his. It was clearly at the strength level that only a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist should have.


    Ye Yuan understood the situation very quickly.


    Although this person looked very unfamiliar, just by looking at the other party choosing to break through beside him, he clearly had malicious intentions!


    Towards guys like this, Ye Yuan would never be courteous.


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s lips curled slightly. He sneered coldly in his heart and thought to himself, Want to play a game of plundering essence energy? You''re going to cry!


    Since the other party wanted to play, then he would let him have his fill!


    Seemingly sensing Ye Yuan''s glance, Li Zhangyu also turned to look at Ye Yuan and did a thumbs down gesture. The provocation meaning was very thick.


    "Truly too arrogant! This fellow actually dares to do this sort of infuriating gesture. Does he really take it as if our Tranquil Cloud Sect has nobody?"


    "En? I remembered. He''s wearing the Heavenly Sky Sect uniform! He''s a Heavenly Sky Sect disciple!"


    "What? Why would a Heavenly Sky Sect disciple run all the way to our Tranquil Cloud Sect to breakthrough realms?"


    "Are you dumb? How is he coming here to break through realms? He''s simply here to show off! Seizing essence energy for his own breakthrough beside Ye Yuan, causing Ye Yuan''s breakthrough to fail, and even making such a hand gesture in front of so many of us, he''s really bullying our Tranquil Cloud Sect for having nobody!"


    "That might be so, but this Heavenly Sky Sect disciple is really very strong! We have to do a crazy lot of preparations before breaking through realms and then finding an isolated place to seclude ourselves. But him, he just ran over here directly to breakthrough! Furthermore, look at his appearance; he clearly still has a lot of strength leftover as if breaking through is like eating a common fare to him."


    "I say, can you stop boosting other people''s morale and diminishing our prestige? You''re also aware of Ye Yuan''s talent. Perhaps a miracle will happen!"


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples recognized Li Zhangyu''s background, they became bound by a common hatred for the enemy.


    Although most of them had never seen before Heavenly Sky Sect''s people, they all knew the Heavenly Sky Sect''s overbearingness.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan who was completely clueless about this. Facing Li Zhangyu''s provocation, he just smiled faintly and stood up.


    Ye Yuan was simply disinclined to bother with this sort of lame provocation.


    The way Ye Yuan saw it, this kind of provocation were simply like shrews shouting and cursing in public. You scolded me a sentence, so I have to scold you back?


    The best way to snuff out the other party''s arrogance was nothing better than to beat the other party down! Beat until they were genuinely convinced!


    "Spirit Gathering Seal!" Ye Yuan cried out.


    Only to see Ye Yuan''s hands move like phantoms. Seals fired out one by one.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s essence energy storm became violent again!


    Originally, Ye Yuan''s essence energy storm already became incomparably thin under Li Zhangyu''s pillaging with the danger of dissipating at any time.


    But now, it was like Ye Yuan''s essence energy tempest was injected with stimulants, forcefully snatching much essence energy from Li Zhangyu''s side, and was even strengthening continuously!


    As a high ranking alchemist, he needed to master countless seals.


    There would be times where an alchemist would gather essence energy in order to raise the quality of medicinal pills. This Spirit Gathering Seal was a more low-end seal among them.


    Ye Yuan would frequently use it when his realm was lower in his previous life. After his realm rose, he rarely used it.


    But when using it now, it was still incomparably fluent, and the effect was also extremely powerful.


    With the guidance of the seal, Ye Yuan''s essence energy storm was like a vortex, building up unendingly.


    "Haha, didn''t I say that Ye Yuan wouldn''t admit defeat so easily? So what if he''s a Heavenly Sky Sect''s Crystal Formation Realm? Displaying his paltry skills before an expert like Ye Yuan, he entrapped himself, right?"


    "That''s right! Wait until Ye Yuan loots the essence energy over at his side clean. See how he breaks through!"


    "No biggie! To be haughty, you also have to look at the other person! You''ll die a very miserable death if you posture in front of a genius who grasped true intent! Haha!"


    Looking at Ye Yuan turning the tides, Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples felt that they gained face.


    Although they were not very familiar with Ye Yuan yet, they already took him as their own people.


    Especially in front of outsiders'' provocation, this kind of recognition would magnify limitlessly!


    Li Zhangyu clearly also became conscious of this change and could not help being greatly astonished.


    There was an impassable gulf between middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm and middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm. The commotion caused by him breaking through realms was actually pulled back by a puny little middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm?


    No wonder Luo Qingfeng was so vague earlier, rather like treasuring his own belongings.


    Looking at it now, there was indeed something fishy!


    "Heh heh, you certainly have some measly capabilities. But if you think that you can win me like this, then you''re too na?ve! Return for me!"


    With a low cry, Li Zhangyu''s aura skyrocketed once again!


    Following that, his essence energy storm also became even more violent!


    The essence energy that was initially snatched over by Ye Yuan returned to Li Zhangyu'' essence energy storm once more!


    Ye Yuan''s efforts earlier were all in vain right now.


    But Li Zhangyu''s actions gave the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples a huge shock!


    "What? This fellow was actually holding back so much extra strength!"


    "No way? This commotion of his is probably catching up to breaking through Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm already! Could all the Heavenly Sky Sect''s disciples be powerful to this extent?"


    "What kind of joke is that?! Looking at his age, he''s even a few years younger than Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Yujiu, but his cultivation realm has already surpassed Senior Apprentice Brother Ti Wujiu! If breaking through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm can cause such a powerful momentum, his strength is likely close to our personal disciples already!"


    "Is this the strength of the Southern Domain''s number one great sect? No wonder they dare to be so arrogant. How can other sects compare to this strength?"


    "Ye Yuan is on his last legs! If it continues to get pillaged like this, Ye Yuan''s breakthrough failing is a minor matter; he might even injure his foundations!"


    To a certain degree, the strength of the essence energy tempest could represent a martial artist''s strength and potential.


    The essence energy storm when Ye Yuan broke through was several times stronger than ordinary people. This could reflect his strength to a certain extent.


    But Li Zhangyu''s essence energy storm being so powerful meant that his true strength was definitely much stronger than a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    As for how his true strength was, it was hard to gauge, but it was definitely ridiculously strong!


    Seeing this scene, Luo Qingfeng''s expression was also not too good.


    He reckoned that Li Zhangyu''s strength was roughly the same as Mo Yuntian, but his age was nearly ten years younger than Mo Yuntian!


    After ten years, what extent could Li Zhangyu reach?


    Furthermore, Luo Qingfeng dared to confirm that Li Zhangyu''s strength was absolutely not considered the peak among the personal disciples.


    Luo Qingfeng did not even dare to imagine anymore!


    The disparity was already so great between the junior generations. Where would the sect''s future lie?


    Could he really swallow humiliation and shoulder the burden to wait for the day the Tranquil Cloud Sect rose? Luo Qingfeng involuntarily started to doubt it.


    The gap between the two sects was currently widening with each step and not shrinking!


    Besides . . . could Ye Yuan still mature smoothly after experiencing such a setback today?

 Chapter 282: I’m Very Willful!

    Chapter 282: I��m Very Willful!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Under Li Zhangyu''s pillaging, Ye Yuan''s essence energy storm became smaller and smaller.


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples saw this scene, they unwittingly had the feeling of the fox mourning the death of a hare.


    This was the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s, no, the Southern Domain''s number one genius!


    Was he going to fail like this?


    Although they were unresigned to this, they also knew that this was not that their combat power was weak.


    It was the opponent who was too strong. No matter how much of a genius Ye Yuan was, he was only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, while his opponent was a genius martial artist from the Southern Domain''s number one great sect!


    Perhaps in terms of potential, Ye Yuan tossed Li Zhangyu several streets behind. But presently, Li Zhangyu was a whole major realm higher than Ye Yuan!


    If it were others, they did not even have the qualifications to force Li Zhangyu to use his full strength and would just directly lay down their arms and surrender.


    But Ye Yuan, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, forced out the other party''s full strength!


    Originally, Li Zhangyu had a relaxed look even when breaking through. But now, his entire body was tensed. He was clearly straining himself a lot more.


    Although Ye Yuan''s Spirit Gathering Seal was only a very low-level seal, Ye Yuan''s attainments were extremely profound. How could it be so easy to seize essence energy from him?


    Facing this situation, Ye Yuan had a composed face as if it had nothing to do with him at all.


    It was only to see him took out several essence crystals calmly and casually struck them out. They transformed into several rays of light that flew in multiple directions.


    Essence crystals were crystalline bodies formed from heaven and earth essence energy. There was powerful yet pure essence energy contained within. Sect disciples mostly used essence crystals when cultivating.


    In the martial arts world, essence crystals were also used as currency.


    Essence crystals were very precious. Even core disciples did not have the right to use them. Only elite disciples would have an extremely small number of low-grade essence crystals every month.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was also allotted some low-grade essence crystals every month with his nominal elder status.


    The few essence crystals that Ye Yuan just casually fired out were middle-grade essence crystals. This was given to him by Skymaple after completing the Level Nine mission previously.


    Nonchalantly firing out so many middle-grade essence crystals made everyone''s eyes pop out.


    This was really quite extravagant!


    "What''s Ye Yuan trying to do? Those seem to be middle-grade essence crystals earlier, right? Wasn''t he still core disciple status before this? Where did it come from?"


    "Who cares where it came from?! The Heavenly Sky Sect already bullied to our doorstep to smack our faces, and you''re still in the mood to mind this?"


    "Cough, cough, isn''t it because of momentary excitement? I say, what''s Ye Yuan doing here? Could it be that he still has a chance to turn the tide?"


    "Ye Yuan''s methods are inexhaustible. There might really be a chance to turn defeat into victory! Using so many middle-grade essence crystals at once, Ye Yuan can''t be throwing stones to play, right?"


    "En? What''s going on? Why do I feel like the surrounding essence energy seems to be drained?"


    Li Zhangyu currently had his full focus on seizing Ye Yuan''s essence energy and breaking through. He did not see Ye Yuan''s actions.


    But at this time, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The surrounding essence energy suddenly became much thicker, and there were increasingly more currents!


    Opening his eyes to take a look, Li Zhangyu immediately jumped in fright.


    As the few light spots around Ye Yuan sparkled, the surrounding essence energy became increasingly wild.


    "Spirit Gathering Formation! Are you mad, punk? Your Dantian will be stuffed until it explodes!" Li Zhangyu exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said with a faint smile, "No problem. Isn''t there you to be buried with me?"


    Li Zhangyu cried out weirdly, "Madman! You''re really a madman! Quickly stop!"


    Ye Yuan made use of middle-grade essence crystals as the eye of the formation to set up a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation.


    Originally, with Ye Yuan''s Spirit Condensation Realm strength, it was impossible to set up a Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation.


    But he borrowed Li Zhangyu''s essence energy storm ingeniously, leading the big with small, overcoming a greater force with only a small amount of strength, and successfully set up such an array formation.


    The formation had already activated. The essence energy in the surrounding dozen of mile radius was siphoned clean by the Spirit Gathering Formation.


    Such power, forget about Li Zhangyu, a puny little Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm, even if a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm were here, they would also not dare to borrow such an essence energy storm to breakthrough!


    No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yuan doing this was a way of perishing together. If the two of them continued to breakthrough here, the outcome would only be being stuffed to death by essence energy.


    Such a level of essence energy storm had clearly already exceeded the limits that Li Zhangyu could withstand.


    "Doesn''t this Senior Apprentice Brother like to join in the fun? I created even more fun for you; why aren''t you joining in now?" Ye Yuan still smiled faintly as he said.


    How could Li Zhangyu bother to bicker with Ye Yuan at this time? If this continued, his Dantian was going to explode from being bloated!


    "Let''s keep calm and talk. Just now, it was me who was rash. Remove your formation first then talk!" Li Zhangyu already had some hint of yielding in his words.


    Li Zhangyu was also like an arrow notched on the bow right now; it must fly.


    If he gave up on breaking through, he would definitely receive a backlash and affect his breakthrough after today. If he continued breaking through, how could he withstand such an essence energy storm?


    He was originally thinking of putting the Tranquil Cloud Sect on the spot, but now, it was hard to dismount the tiger.


    But Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I''m very willful. If others find me to play, I''ll definitely play to the end! You can choose to withdraw if you''re not playing."


    "You! Fine, I want to see just how you play yourself to death in a while!" Li Zhangyu gnashed his teeth and said.


    "That''s none of your concern," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Li Zhangyu already decided not to play anymore. He wanted to stop the breakthrough and withdraw out of the essence energy storm.


    The timing Li Zhangyu that retreated was perfect. The essence energy storm gathered by the Spirit Gathering Formation had already formed. Even if he pulled back right now, it was already too late for Ye Yuan to want to dismiss it.


    Li Zhangyu did not believe that Ye Yuan really dared to break through realms in this place!


    Li Zhangyu forcefully terminated his breakthrough and immediately suffered a backlash. He only felt a metallic taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood was about to spew out but was forcibly held back by him.


    He leaped with all his might and actually withstood the violent essence energy tempest and charged out of it.


    The essence energy storm was currently already virtually materialized, visible with the naked eye; just like a tornado.


    Li Zhangyu being able to withdraw leisurely also sufficiently showed that his strength was very great.


    After exiting, Li Zhangyu no longer had that arrogance from before. The Heavenly Sky Sect uniform on him was already torn into tattered rags by the essence energy storm.


    After leaving the essence energy storm, Li Zhangyu could not hold back any longer and spewed out a large mouthful of blood.


    He devoted all his power just now to break through but was forcefully stopped by him again. He clearly sustained extremely strong backlash and already suffered very severe internal injuries.


    Failing the breakthrough this time, the next time Li Zhangyu wanted to break through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm again, it would most likely not be so easy anymore.


    Of course, with Li Zhangyu''s talent, breaking through was inevitable. But this would surely delay him a very large amount of time!


    Thinking up to here, Li Zhangyu felt very depressed. This time, he really tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.


    But looking at Ye Yuan who was still in the heart of the essence energy storm, a trace of delight flashed across Li Zhangyu''s heart.


    "Hahaha, this punk is indeed willful! So willful until he played himself to death! With such a violent essence energy storm, I want to see just how you can break through! I really want to see right now just what kind of appearance you''ll have when your body explodes, and you die!" Li Zhangyu turned over and said manically.

 Chapter 283: Luo Qingfeng’s Fang!

    Chapter 283: Luo Qingfeng��s Fang!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan was in the eye of the storm, his clothes fluttering.


    Currently, the ferocity of the essence energy around him was practically suffocating.


    And Ye Yuan''s breakthrough also entered the critical juncture at this time already.


    Such violent essence energy, ordinary people could not even refine it; let alone say breaking through realms.


    But the essence energy flowing within Ye Yuan''s body outside of his body produced an intense contrast.


    Once the violent and condensed essence energy entered Ye Yuan''s body, it immediately became unbelievably docile.


    In front of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, this level of essence energy was seriously not worth mentioning.


    However, the essence energy was overly abundant currently. Ye Yuan refined non-stop and reached the critical point of the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm very soon.


    "About to break through! Just a little bit more! I hope that nothing happens to Ye Yuan!"


    "Why would something happen now? It''s the most dangerous after breaking through. Breaching the bottleneck requires large amounts of essence energy, just like flood water bursting open the water gate. But once this floodgate is opened, wanting to shut it would not be so easy!"


    "Yeah! Normally, when we break through, we would gather an essence energy storm matching our realm so that we can control it. But this essence energy storm has already greatly surpassed the limits that Ye Yuan can withstand. Once the floodgate opens, I''m afraid . . . it will collapse!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was on the verge of breaking through, the heavily injured Li Zhangyu said gloatingly, "A puny little Spirit Condensation Realm actually dares to break through within such a violent essence energy tempest. You truly don''t know how the word death is written! In a while, when they see you being blown to pieces, I wonder what kind of expression your Tranquil Cloud Sect people will have. Hehe."


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s aura swelled abruptly and became much stronger than before.


    It was very clear that he burst past the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm bottleneck in one go!


    Everyone''s hearts leaped to their throats. Many people even involuntarily shut their eyes. They did not wish to see the scene of Ye Yuan exploding.


    At the same time, the essence energy around Ye Yuan that became even more tempestuous had already transformed into a bundle of mist-like state. From this, it could be seen just how thick the essence energy in the center of the storm was!


    The thick fog covered up Ye Yuan''s figure. The outside could no longer see what was happening inside. But everyone knew that Ye Yuan was currently wrestling with the flood like essence energy.


    "Dead for sure! He''s definitely dead! This brat is also a talent, to actually set up such an incredible Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation. The essence energy in the eye of the formation practically became liquid state already. Even if I were the one breaking through in the eye of the formation, I probably would have exploded by now already, much less a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm." Li Zhangyu directly sentenced Ye Yuan to death.


    "Sect Master, Ye Yuan, he . . ." the disciple who received Li Zhangyu previously said anxiously.


    Luo Qingfeng sucked in a deep breath and sighed, "At this time, only Ye Yuan alone can help himself. Pray that he can come out alive."


    These words sounded that bit unconfident no matter how one heard it. Under such a situation, the possibility of escaping with his life was too minuscule!


    . . . . . .


    As time slowly ticked away, there was still no activity in the eye of the formation. Everyone''s hope evaporated bit by bit.


    If Ye Yuan could leave, he would have left long ago. Now, under such circumstances, most likely . . . it was more ominous than propitious.


    At present, Li Zhangyu consumed medicinal pills that controlled internal injuries and returned to Luo Qingfeng''s side.


    "Sect Master Luo, I think there''s no need to wait anymore. There''s no activity after such a long time, that boy most likely already exploded into a lump of meat by now," Li Zhangyu said delightedly.


    Hearing these words, Luo Qingfeng''s entire person became icy. Li Zhangyu immediately felt a powerful pressure crushing forth.


    "I exercised forbearance in every way possible on accounts of your master''s face. Do you think that my Tranquil Cloud Sect can be kneaded as you like? If your master were here, I''d still have some fear. You, a Crystal Formation Realm, reaching out for a yard after taking an inch, do you really take me to be made of clay?"


    Luo Qingfeng carried the powerful awe of a half-step Soul Sea Realm, crushing Li Zhangyu until he could not breathe.


    Li Zhangyu''s incessant provocation finally angered this master of a sect!


    To be able to become the master of a sect, Luo Qingfeng was absolutely not some goody two-shoes that could be sliced up anyhow. The reason why he accommodated for the general interest was only to hide one''s capability and bid one''s time, to strive for time to let the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s junior generation grow up.


    But now that Ye Yuan''s life or death was uncertain and the sect''s greatest hope about to be extinguished, this also made Luo Qingfeng lose his last trace of patience!


    Once a ferocious tiger bared its fangs, someone who assumed the majesty of the tiger like Li Zhangyu did not have much living space anymore!


    Luo Qingfeng released his aura fully. Li Zhangyu only felt like he was being crushed by a humongous mountain. Even his teeth were chattering.


    Li Zhangyu only understood at this moment that this seemingly weak and incompetent Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master actually had such formidable strength!


    Such a powerful pressure, Li Zhangyu only felt this from his own master before!


    Could it be that Luo Qingfeng''s strength was no longer beneath Master''s?


    How was this possible?


    "You . . . You dare to touch me? I-I''m the . . . Heavenly Sky Sect''s envoy! A-aren''t you scared of launching a sect war?" Li Zhangyu gritted his teeth and said.


    Luo Qingfeng sneered coldly and said, "You''d best pray that Ye Yuan''s fine. Otherwise, I''ll use you as a sacrificial item today! Sect war? Do you think that you can trigger a sect war with the likes of you? You''re overestimating yourself too much! If the Heavenly Sky Sect could eradicate my Tranquil Cloud Sect so easily, why would they wait until now?"


    It dawned onto Li Zhangyu when he heard it, and the color of his face turned deathly-white. He flopped weakly onto the ground.


    "The eight great sects each have their own forte, yet also restrain each other. My Tranquil Cloud Sect is not as powerful as your Heavenly Sky Sect, but a sect war will cause a domino effect. Isn''t your sect master scared of the other seven sects joining hands? After all, our today is their future! All of the sect masters are not dumb. How could they not understand this logic?"


    Luo Qingfeng''s words struck the core one by one, speaking until Li Zhangyu''s complexion became increasingly paler.


    Heavenly Sky Sect disciples were used to being arrogant while the Tranquil Cloud Sect was always very low profile, resulting in Li Zhangyu thinking that the Tranquil Cloud Sect was only a rotten persimmon, able to knead the latter as he wished and had no respect even for Luo Qingfeng.


    Looking at it now, he was only a clown. He was not even a fart in front of Luo Qingfeng.


    With the strength of Sea Transformation Realm, one simply had no say in the interactions between sects.


    Who could have thought that the Luo Qingfeng who had always been famously weak would also have such a ferocious side!


    Looking at that mass of thick fog, Li Zhangyu suddenly discovered that he made a fatal error today: he touched Luo Qingfeng''s reverse scale!


    And this brat called Ye Yuan was Luo Qingfeng''s reverse scale!


    How could Li Zhangyu know what Luo Qingfeng was thinking?


    Luo Qingfeng was currently thinking of how to give an account to that mysterious master of Ye Yuan!


    Once that unimaginably powerful existence came to ask for him, what awaited his Tranquil Cloud Sect was also an utter calamity!


    If Ye Yuan really died, why would he still fear a sect war?


    Compared to that mysterious expert, the Heavenly Sky Sect was nothing!


    At that time, the ones getting destroyed was likely not just his Tranquil Cloud Sect alone. The Heavenly Sky Sect likewise could not escape responsibility!

    "I''m also not afraid to tell you that Ye Yuan is a peerless genius that my Tranquil Cloud Sect discovered. He''s my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s future. If something happens to him today, you''re . . . dead for sure!" Luo Qingfeng said fiercely with a stern expression.


    Li Zhangyu felt his scalp tingle. He could sense Luo Qingfeng''s fury. These words were absolutely not just to scare him.


    "A-Are you mad? To incite a sect war at all cost for such a genius that had yet to mature?"


    Li Zhangyu felt that this world was too insane. Luo Qingfeng actually stopped at no expense to become enemies with the Heavenly Sky Sect for a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    Although Li Zhangyu was not the most powerful among the younger generation in the Heavenly Sky Sect, he was someone with extremely huge potential.


    Chi Zongtao doted on him very heavily. If he died, Chi Zongtao would definitely not let it go at that.


    Although a sect war might affect the situation as a whole, it was possible to erupt because of this!


    Li Zhangyu involuntarily looked towards that mass of thick fog. Alarm suddenly showed on his face!


    "S-Sect Master Luo, quickly look!" Li Zhangyu pointed in the direction of the essence energy storm and shouted.


    Luo Qingfeng''s heart jolted, and he looked over there, only to see that the essence energy storm was currently weakening at a visible rate.


    This kind of weakening was not dissipation, but converging towards the eye of the formation.


    It looked like it was sucked over by something.


    Luo Qingfeng''s expression became intent. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.


    Regardless of what situation occurred, at least it showed that Ye Yuan was still alive right now. Otherwise, the essence energy storm should be gradually dispersing and not being sucked over like this.


    As long as Ye Yuan did not die, anything was fine!


    The group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple clearly also noticed this chance. Although they were somewhat uncertain, didn''t it meant that Ye Yuan was at least still alive?


    "What happened? Ye Yuan, he did not die yet!"


    "Truly inconceivable! He actually lasted such a long time in the substantialized essence energy storm! What in the world did he do?"


    "The mystery should be unraveling very soon! You guys, look! That mass of thick fog is starting to dissipate!"


    The speed which essence energy was being absorbed was very swift. That mass of thick fog gradually became thin and revealed a blurry silhouette.


    Everyone stared fixedly at the eye of the storm. That silhouette became clearer and clearer.


    Everybody could see that that was Ye Yuan!


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not die, a wave of shouting and screaming came from the crowd.


    Unknowingly, they already took Ye Yuan as their own comrade and took him as the face of the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect was oppressed too heavily these few years. Every disciple felt as though they experienced this aspect themselves!


    Now that such a genius character appeared with such difficulty, it would really be too pitiful if he were to die like this.


    Just earlier, each one of them felt the Heavenly Sky Sect''s humiliation, but they were helpless!


    Touching their own hearts, no matter which of them took Ye Yuan''s place, they were also unable to perform like Ye Yuan.


    Even if the Tranquil Cloud Sect found a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciple and placed him beside Li Zhangyu, the final outcome would probably be suffering a defeat when victory was within reach.


    Ye Yuan regained face on all of their behalfs!


    Not only did Ye Yuan force Li Zhangyu until he had to withdraw with serious injuries with Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, he even survived completely unscathed!


    In their hearts, Ye Yuan had already become the hero of the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    "Quickly look! What''s Ye Yuan doing? Isn''t that his spirit artifact? Those essence energies seemed to have been absorbed by this sword!"


    "It really looks like it! But . . . how can a spirit artifact absorb so much essence energy? Hang on! Unless . . ."


    The two people exchanged a glanced and saw the shock in the other person''s eyes. They said in unison, "Spirit Artifact Sanctification!"


    Li Zhangyu similarly showed an astonished expression. He sucked in a cold breath and said, "He actually made use of the Spirit Gathering Formation to sanctify his spirit artifact! Is this boy . . . really just a teenager?"


    Luo Qingfeng was also incomparably shocked. He never imagined that Ye Yuan could actually utilize the Spirit Gathering Formation to sanctify the Canghua Sword!


    However, when he saw that gaping mouth look of Li Zhangyu, Luo Qingfeng felt pleased in his heart.


    Luo Qingfeng was feeling excellent, but his words were nonchalant as he said, "Through and through. Ye Yuan he . . . is still two months short of reaching 16! Congratulations to you. Your small life is secured."


    When he heard these words from Luo Qingfeng, Li Zhangyu had a feeling like a heavy load was lifted. His back was already drenched in sweat.


    Before long, the violent essence energy was already pretty much absorbed clean.


    Canghua Sword suspended in front of Ye Yuan quietly. But it was currently missing some parts of sharp air and was dimmer than before.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. Canghua Sword gave off a crisp clang and shot straight for the horizon!


    Everybody only saw a streak of flowing light dancing in mid-air, akin to a canary which broke free. That sort of carefree feeling infected everyone.


    "32 restrictions spirit artifact! In a twinkle, an 8 restrictions spirit artifact became a 32 restrictions spirit artifact! Ye Yuan, he is really too amazing!"


    "Spirit Artifact Sanctification is an incredibly challenging matter. Every additional restriction would be exceedingly difficult! One has to ensure that adding new restrictions will not clash with previous ones and also ensure the increase in power. Ordinary array formation masters would not dare to easily increase restrictions for spirit artifacts!"


    "Abnormal cultivation speed, grasped true intent, heard that his Alchemy Dao attainments are also exceedingly high. Now, even his Array Formation Dao attainments are so strong; is he still a human?"


    Sensing the power of restrictions coming off from the reborn Canghua Sword, everyone gasped in amazement.


    8 restrictions to 32 restrictions. This was an extremely huge jump!


    If spirit artifact could cultivate, then 8 restrictions to 32 restrictions would be rising two major realms consecutively!


    This kind of enormous crossing would greatly increase the power of a spirit artifact!


    One could say that the Canghua Sword had obtained a transformation that cast off its old self and be reborn again. It was no wonder that it was so excited.


    Seemingly bored of playing around, Canghua Sword''s luster was restrained, and it landed in Ye Yuan''s hands obediently.


    Lightly caressing the sword body, Ye Yuan was also very pleased with his own work.


    At his current realm, this was already the limits of what he could accomplish.


    The 32 restrictions Canghua Sword was enough to last him all the way to the Sea Transformation Realm.


    Ye Yuan''s Array Formation Dao attainments were incredible. Sanctifying a 32 restrictions spirit artifact was not much to him.


    It was just that it was quite taxing for him to do it due to limitations in realm.


    Li Zhangyu coincidentally came over to cause trouble. Ye Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and laid down this Spirit Gather Formation to sanctify the Canghua Sword.


    Along with Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Intent getting increasingly deeper, especially when using Thousand Flowing Petals, the 8 restrictions Canghua Sword was already gradually having difficulties coping.


    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Yuan successfully sanctified it in one go.


    Keeping the Canghua Sword, Ye Yuan walked towards Li Zhangyu and greet him. But he smiled at Li Zhangyu and said, "This Senior Apprentice Brother doesn''t seem to be someone from my Tranquil Cloud Sect. But you were also of a huge assistance to me this time. Ye Yuan give thanks here."


    Looking at the grinning Ye Yuan, Li Zhangyu felt even worse than swallowing a fly!

 Chapter 285: Unknown Mystic Realm

    Chapter 285: Unknown Mystic Realm

    Although Ye Yuan''s Tier 3 Spirit Gathering Formation was strong, it was also unable to gather so much essence energy.


    The reason why it could cause such a huge commotion before was that Ye Yuan used a maneuver to lift something heavy using only a little force. Using the two person''s essence energy storms as the base, it magnified the pair''s essence energy storms limitlessly.


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, he was only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. If he did not have the pair''s essence energy storms has the base, how could he plunder the essence energies in a ten-mile radius clean?


    Li Zhangyu tasted blood again in his throat. The internal injuries that were just suppressed relapsed again and he nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he endured it.


    "Li Zhangyu is an honored guest from the Heavenly Sky Sect. He indeed has the grace of a great sect disciple, deriving pleasure from helping others." Luo Qingfeng supplemented another blow right after.


    "Heavenly Sky Sect?" Ye Yuan looked perplexed. Clearly, he had not heard of this name before.


    Luo Qingfeng froze, and he could not help asking, "You don''t know the Heavenly Sky Sect?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head blankly and said, "This disciple came from a small place, and my knowledge is superficial. I really don''t know the Heavenly Sky Sect."


    Luo Qingfeng was speechless. He explained, "Heavenly Sky Sect is the Southern Domain''s number one great sect, the leader of the Eight Great Sects. Zhangyu is a Heavenly Sky Sect Grand Elder''s favored disciple. You''re my sect''s elder. Calling senior apprentice brother is acceptable."


    Li Zhangyu was secretly shocked. Ye Yuan was already a sect elder at this age?


    However, he had yet to be surprised by this when Ye Yuan was suddenly enlightened and said, "Ah! So that''s how it is! The Heavenly Sky Sect is as expected the Southern Domain''s number one great sect. Their grand elder''s disciple actually sacrificed his own interests for the sake of others and would rather his own realm fall just to help others. Ye Yuan is eternally grateful,"


    "Puhwark!"


    Li Zhangyu finally could not hold back, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. It was already injuries on top of injuries.


    The two people sang and chimed together. Li Zhangyu was ultimately young. How could he endure such stimulation?


    But Ye Yuan really did not know the Heavenly Sky Sect, not that he was singing a duet with Luo Qingfeng.


    But the effects were the same.


    . . . . . .


    After two days, Li Zhangyu''s injuries took a turn for the better. Luo Qingfeng summoned him.


    Presently, Li Zhangyu was much more restrained and was no longer as arrogant as when he had just arrived.


    Luo Qingfeng''s aura on that day thoroughly suppressed him.


    "Are your injuries better?" Luo Qingfeng asked like he was engaging in small talk.


    It was fine if he did not mention that. But once it was raised, Li Zhangyu''s inner heart felt as painful as his scar being reopened.


    "Already much better. Many thanks for Sect Master Luo''s concern," Li Zhangyu forced a smile and said.


    "En. It''s good that it''s much better. Zhangyu, for what matter did you come to my Tranquil Cloud Sect as an envoy this trip for?" Luo Qingfeng queried.


    Talking about official matters, Li Zhangyu hurriedly collected his emotions and said, "My Heavenly Sky Sect discovered a mystic realm not long ago within our borders and think that there should be some good stuff inside. Our Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sects has always been united. Sect Master specially dispatched seven disciples to leave for the seven sects to invite everyone to explore the mystic realm together so as to give fair treatment to all!"


    Luo Qingfeng was expressionless, but he started to deliberate on the intentions of this move by the Heavenly Sky Sect in his heart.


    Whatever united, what fair treatment, that could only hoodwink a three year old kid.


    The Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sects, including the Tranquil Cloud Sect, each had their own little plans.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect never had the heart to contend for hegemony in the Southern Domain.


    The sect members'' ambition was always to storm back to the Northern Domain.


    Of course, this was merely a distant dream.


    The reality was that the Tranquil Cloud Sect could only survive within the crevices of the various Southern Domain sects.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had always been very domineering. Forget about a mystic realm in their own territory; they would even think of ways to get a cup of soup from other people''s mystic realms.


    There must be something strange for things to be abnormal!


    If one were to say that the Heavenly Sky Sect was really that good-hearted, even a fool would not believe it.


    But one had to admit that the Heavenly Sky Sect tossed out a remarkably tempting bait. Luo Qingfengr reckoned that the other sects would likely be unable to refuse this invitation because even he himself was moved.


    What did the development of the sect rely on?


    Resources!


    Essence crystals, natural treasures, cultivation methods, artifacts, and so on. These things more or less determined the power of a sect.


    As the most powerful sect in the Southern Domain, the Heavenly Sky Sect occupied 40% of the Southern Domain''s resources!


    The other seven great sects added up only came up to 60% or so!


    It was precisely because of these resources that ensured that the Heavenly Sky Sect always looked down on the world.


    And among those, natural treasures were a very crucial part of resources.


    The sect disciples'' daily consumption, medicinal pills used in cultivation, and medicinal herbs were a huge expenditure. Without the accumulation of these resources, the sect would simply be unable to sustain, no matter how deep your foundations were.


    And where did these natural treasures come from?


    Mystic realms!


    Mystic realms were miniature spaces neighboring the Endless World. Because human footmarks were scarce and essence energy was abundant, it tends to give birth to many natural treasures.


    Within the various Southern Domain sect boundaries, they all had some mystic realms, and these mystic realms were all controlled by the various great sects.


    These mystic realms were all known mystic realms. The dangers within have already pretty much been eliminated by the various great sects.


    But the mystic realm discovered by the Heavenly Sky Sect this time was evidently an unknown mystic realm!


    Extremely few humans existed in mystic realms. But there were many demonic beasts as well as naturally formed dangers!


    Exploring mystic realms was an extremely perilous task!


    Ignoring other things, just the Heavenly Sky Sect inviting other sects to explore the mystic realm together most likely had the notion of bringing more cannon fodder.


    As for whether they had other plans, Luo Qingfeng could not determine it right now.


    "What kind of mystic realm? Give a description," Luo Qingfeng said while maintaining his composure.


    "An unknown mystic realm! We''ve already sent people in to investigate. The natural treasures inside are beyond counting. It''s said that there are many Tier 3, Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs inside. There are also quite a few Tier 4 herbs and some extremely rare herbs which can all be found inside!" Li Zhangyu said.


    Luo Qingfeng suddenly smiled and said, "I''m afraid that it isn''t so simple, right? What I want to hear isn''t this. What did you all encounter inside?"


    Li Zhangyu''s face changed but returned to normal very quickly. He said calmly, "We sent a total of three teams. They were completely wiped out!"


    Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "What kind of people did you send in?"


    Facing Luo Qingfeng, Li Zhangyu became very alert.


    This fellow was too astute. Every question hit the mark!


    In the past, everyone always thought that he was somebody weak and incompetent because he was low-profile and tolerant.


    Now, it looks like this fellow was simply an exceptionally clever and scheming person!


    Now that Luo Qingfeng already bared his fangs in front of Li Zhangyu, he naturally had no need to disguise himself anymore.


    Li Zhangyu cautiously said, "The first time, it was an early-stage Crystal Formation Realm leading the team. The second, the one leading was a middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm. The third time . . . it was a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!"


    "Oh? Since all your guys were wiped out, how do you know the news inside?" Luo Qingfeng asked composedly.


    Li Zhangyu secretly cursed sly fox and said, "In the end, that Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist risked death to charge out and brought back this information. And not long after he exited, he died too. This unknown mystic realm might be somewhat dangerous, but the things inside are seriously too alluring. That''s why Lord Sect Master ardently invites everyone to explore together."


    Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "You go back and rest first. Allow me to reconsider this."


    After Li Zhangyu took his leave, the door to the room suddenly opened. Ling Potian, Xiao Jian, and Ouyang Yu walked out.


    And behind them was Ye Yuan who had recently just broke through.

 Chapter 286: Opinion

    Chapter 286: Opinion


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What do you guys think of the Heavenly Sky Sect''s invitation?" Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth to ask after the few people sat down.


    Xiao Jian was the first to speak. "Would the Heavenly Sky Sect be so kind-hearted? I won''t believe that even if you beat me to death! In my opinion, this is a trap."


    Ling Potian valued each word like gold and said, "Yes, definitely it is a trap."


    Ouyang Yu mused for a while before saying, "I feel that the possibility of being a trap is not big. Rather, I think the likelihood of making us as the cannon fodders is greater."


    Luo Qingfeng was emotionless as he asked again, "How so?"


    "Exploring an unknown mystic realm such as this, it''s impossible for the great sects to send out a very powerful force. Wanting to diminish the sects'' existing strength through this is clearly not very likely. The way I see it, this unknown mystic realm might really be dangerous. The Heavenly Sky Sect hopes to drag everyone over to shoulder the dangers together to obtain the greatest benefits while at the same time, reducing their own casualties." Ouyang Yu analyzed the situation.


    Compared to Xiao Jian, Ouyang Yu was clearly much calmer. His analysis was also rather objective.


    "Humph! The Heavenly Sky Sect is just like an old miser. When they see mystic realms, it''s like they get injected with stimulants. How can they be so nice this time to invite us to explore together?" Xiao Jian disagreed.


    "Therefore, there must be something that we don''t know in between. All in all, the Heavenly Sky Sect definitely doesn''t have any good intentions. I feel that we can casually send some people over to brush them off," Ouyang Yu said.


    "I disagree! Casually sending some people over to be cannon fodder for others? Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples are all groomed by us through innumerable painstaking efforts. How can we send them to their death?" Xiao Jian said with irritation in his tone.


    About this point that the Heavenly Sky Sect did not have any good intentions, everybody did not have any disagreement, and it was also impossible to have differing opinions.


    It was just that whether or go or not was a problem. It clearly caused some discrepancies.


    Ouyang Yu still wanted to continue, but Luo Qingfeng made a hand gesture to indicate to them to stop arguing. He turned and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, share your perspective."


    After the incident with Li Zhangyu, Luo Qingfeng''s understanding of Ye Yuan went up another level.


    Ye Yuan could set up a Spirit Gathering Formation under that sort of abrupt situation and force Li Zhangyu away while he himself went along with the strategy to sanctify Canghua Sword. It was evident how meticulous his thoughts were!


    The way Luo Qingfeng saw things, Ye Yuan''s talent was without question. It was simply on a different level from his peers.


    But for him to even possess such meticulous thinking at this age, it was truly hard to come by.


    Hence, he intentionally called Ye Yuan over today to let him also listen to the purpose of the Heavenly Sky Sect sending an envoy. Perhaps he could come up with some constructive opinions.


    When Xiao Jian and the others saw Ye Yuan, they were also stupefied for a long time, and could not quite ascertain Luo Qingfeng''s thoughts.


    This action, could it be to let Ye Yuan participate in the Tranquil Cloud Sect upper echelons'' decision-making?


    Ye Yuan''s talent was unrivaled, this fact was already irrefutable by anyone. But he was so young; wasn''t it somewhat trifling to let him join in the sect upper echelon in decision making?


    Especially for Ouyang Yu. When Ye Yuan had just entered the sect, he even acceded to Ouyang Ming''s inciting and wanted to sentence Ye Yuan to death through the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing.


    But later on, a series of Ye Yuan''s actions thoroughly dispelled any thoughts of opposing Ye Yuan.


    Especially after Ye Yuan sold the Soul Driving Pill formula to the sect. Several elders from the Ouyang Family already obtained a breakthrough with help from the Soul Driving Pill.


    Under such circumstances, how could Ouyang Yu bring himself to oppose Ye Yuan again?


    Wouldn''t he become an ungrateful petty character?


    As for Ouyang Ming''s side, Ouyang Yu already issued a strict order to make him watch his woman well to not stir up any more shit. Otherwise, bear the consequences himself!


    A tiny little secular world family did not enter Ouyang Yu''s eyes yet; let alone the fact that this family clan was already wasted.


    Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "If it''s as Li Zhangyu said, then this mystic realm is similarly of utmost importance to our sect. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect simply can''t compare to these great sects in terms of resources. If we even give up on this chance as well, wouldn''t we lag behind with each step? I reckon that other sect masters also can''t resist this large cake that the Heavenly Sky Sect delivered and will send people forth."


    After that day, Luo Qingfeng gave Ye Yuan a crash course on the faction distribution in the Southern Domain. Now, he already had a preliminary understanding of the Southern Domain''s situation.


    "But this mystic realm is so dangerous. Even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm did not make it out alive after entering. Could it be that we all have to send Sea Transformation Realm elders in?" Xiao Jian threw out this question.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That isn''t necessary. Because I think that even if we send elders there, it''s useless too."


    "Oh? Why is that?" Luo Qingfeng asked.


    When Ye Yuan said this, not only Xiao Jian, even Luo Qingfeng revealed an attentive expression.


    It was very clear that Ye Yuan noticed some issues that they did not realize.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Sect Master and Hall Heads, think about it. With the Heavenly Sky Sect''s greed, how can they possibly send people to invite other sects to explore the mystic realm together unless they had no other alternatives?"


    "That''s why we were all guessing earlier whether the Heavenly Sky Sect is plotting some insidious scheme!" Xiao Jian.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Just as Hall Head Ouyang said, these sort of wiles and schemes don''t have much use. Even if our teams were all annihilated, it wouldn''t harm our sect''s foundations. Why do they need to take such a superfluous action?"


    "Then you say; just what is it?" Xiao Jian said anxiously.


    "Why did Li Zhangyu only say that they sent a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm into the mystic realm? Although Sea Transformation Realm is a mid-level pillar in the various great sects, the Heavenly Sky Sect wouldn''t treasure life to such an extent, right?" Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Luo Qingfeng was absorbed in his thoughts as he said, "You''re saying . . . they already sent a Sea Transformation Realm inside?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! Furthermore, that Sea Transformation Realm definitely did not come back alive!"


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Thinking it over, Ye Yuan''s analysis was plainly the most logical.


    It was just that when Li Zhangyu was talking, he deliberately clouded this area. That was why everybody did not think of it.


    After all, a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm was already very important to a sect. Even for a large sect like Heavenly Sky Sect, it was also impossible to abandon them at will. Hence, Luo Qingfeng did not think deeper into this problem either.


    But when they heard Ye Yuan say that even a Sea Transformation Realm did not make it out alive, their hearts would not stop pounding.


    Wasn''t this unknown mystic realm a little too perilous?


    "Even a Sea Transformation Realm died inside. Then even more so we must not go!" Xiao Jian said with a frown.


    To the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they could not afford the death of any Sea Transformation Realm expert.


    But Luo Qingfeng did not speak right away. He only spoke after thinking it over, "Ye Yuan, were your words unfinished? Should we go or not?"


    Towards this Luo Qingfeng, Ye Yuan also quite admired him. He was unquestionably a terrifying figure with meticulous thoughts.


    These few years, if not for him, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might be in even more arduous circumstances than now.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Go. Why shouldn''t we go? There are surely many natural treasures in this mystic realm. Otherwise, the Heavenly Sky Sect would have forsaken it themselves. This is also an opportunity for our sect!"

 Chapter 287: Skymaple Exits Seclusion!

    Chapter 287: Skymaple Exits Seclusion!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ye Yuan! Even a Sea Transformation Realm lost his life after entering! Do you want our elders to seek their own doom?"


    Ling Potian rarely said so many words. It was just that he was very stern currently. The average disciple would probably start stammering when they saw it.


    "Potian, let Ye Yuan finish talking," Luo Qingfeng said.


    Ling Potian was stunned. He immediately shut his mouth and kept quiet.


    Ye Yuan did not mind either. He continued, "If my conjectures are correct, it might be because the space isn''t stable or due to restrictions on laws. Sea Transformation Realm and above martial artists are unable to enter this mystic realm. It''s overly dangerous for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to enter; that''s why the Heavenly Sky Sect would join hands with the other seven sects to explore together in an unprecedented event."


    Luo Qingfeng was also very surprised. He said, "So that''s the case! This way, everything can be explained! It''s just that since this is the case, it''s surely very risky for Crystal Formation Realm martial artist to enter. Do we still join in the bustle?"


    "Wealth comes with danger! The dangers are all the same to us Eight Great Sects. The Heavenly Sky Sect is just looking for more cannon fodders. Then, let''s knock out one of their front teeth! Opportunities like this are not recurrent!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Ye Yuan, I know that you''re tremendously talented and your combat powers are also extremely great, but you mustn''t look down on the other sects'' junior generation! Especially the Heavenly Sky Sect. Their personal disciples are much stronger than Yuntian and the rest," Xiao Jian suddenly interjected and said gravely in a sincere tone.


    As the Southern Domain''s strongest sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect''s personal disciples'' strength was obviously the greatest!


    Although Li Zhangyu was accepted as a personal disciple by a grand elder, that was only because his potential was huge.


    In terms of real strength, he was not considered much in the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Those personal disciples with immense seniority were the existences with the greatest strength today.


    Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "I was only providing an opinion for Lord Sect Master. As for whether he accepts it or not, I dare not dispute. But if Sect Master decides to go ahead, I hope that I can be considered one of the members."


    "No way! Even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist died inside. You''re only at the Spirit Condensation Realm, going in is too dangerous! Ye Yuan, you''re our Tranquil Cloud Sect''s hope. I don''t wish for you to be in any danger!" Luo Qingfeng directly rejected it.


    You got to be kidding!


    When he broke through two days ago, Luo Qingfeng was so frightened that he nearly crocked.


    Exploring such a dangerous mystic realm this time, if anything were to happen, he would not be able to compensate even if he threw in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    But Ye Yuan did not act appropriately with Luo Qingfeng''s expectation. Luo Qingfeng knew that he could not convince Ye Yuan by looking at the expression in his eyes.


    Luo Qingfeng was crying bitterness in his heart!


    He initially already decided to go for it. But looking at this attitude from Ye Yuan, he started to hesitate again.


    This living ancestor was really willful!


    What did a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist run over to play with a bunch of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists for?


    "What''s happening?"


    Luo Qingfeng and the rest exchanged glances and suddenly thought of something. They could not help becoming wildly elated!


    "Martial Uncle! He-He broke through! That''s truly fantastic!" Xiao Jian said joyfully.


    "Go! Let''s go and take a look! Ye Yuan, you come too. You have great contributions for Martial Uncle to be able to break through!" Luo Qingfeng said.


    The few people rushed to Skymaple Court at fire-speed only to see black clouds gathering over the court.


    "It''s Soul Tribulation! Martial Uncle he''s starting to cross his Soul Tribulation!" Ouyang Yu exclaimed.


    As an alchemist, his greatest wish was to be able to cross a Soul Tribulation once.


    When martial artists open up the Sea Transformation Realm, Soul Sea Realm was going against the heavens. Hence, when martial artists cultivated to the Soul Sea Realm and beyond, they would face the test of heavenly tribulation!


    And when alchemists cultivate past the Soul Sea Realm, their soul force would have a qualitative leap. Every breakthrough will similarly cause heavenly tribulation to descend!


    However, the heavenly tribulation for alchemists was different from martial artists. It only targeted the divine soul. Hence, it was called soul tribulation!


    If Ouyang Yu could breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm and become an Alchemy King, he would experience the first soul tribulation in his life.


    Except . . . this step was way too difficult for him!


    That mass of dark clouds was not large, but the extremely horrifying energy was encompassed within it, filling people''s heart with trepidation.


    Before long, fine lightning began to fall, directly penetrating the residence, rumbling into the place that Skymaple was in seclusion.


    The lightning grew progressively more and increasingly dense. Just the awe could make Crystal Formation Realm martial artists feel asphyxiated!


    When Ye Yuan saw this familiar scene from far away, boundless emotions welled up in his heart.


    In his previous life, he had tided over dozens of soul tribulations and was all too familiar with this.


    But in this life, this was the first time Ye Yuan saw something like soul tribulation. It naturally aroused his boundless reminiscence.


    Since it was called soul tribulation, it was a calamity for the martial artist''s divine soul!


    Many alchemists fell to the soul tribulation, their souls dispersed to the wind.


    Alchemists who could cross dozens of soul tribulations and reach the pinnacle were all virtually invincible existences!


    Ye Yuan in his previous life walked towards the pinnacle step by step like this.


    But in this life, he believed that he would still walk like this step by step towards the pinnacle!


    No, in this life, he wanted to walk even further!


    The four people around him apparently did not notice Ye Yuan''s gallant feel. They watched this scene anxiously.


    Roughly an hour later, the lightning gradually lessened. The dark clouds in the sky also started to dissipate. The soul tribulation finally ended.


    "Everyone, come in." Skymaple''s words called them in. He had obviously discovered the people outside long ago.


    It was just that this voice was rather worn out. It looks like the Skymaple who had just crossed the soul tribulation was still quite weak.


    But Ye Yuan knew that this kind of weakness would not persist for long. Very soon, Skymaple''s soul force would increase explosively and truly reach the level of middle-rank Alchemy King.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Skymaple was also very surprised, but very happy.


    "Haha, I didn''t think that Ye Yuan you''re also here," Skymaple said jubilantly.


    It was all thanks to Ye Yuan that he could break through to middle-rank Alchemy King. He naturally felt close to Ye Yuan when he saw him.


    Ye Yuan went forward to give a bow and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Grand Elder for breaking through to the middle-rank Alchemy King!"


    "Sigh, what''s there to congratulate? Isn''t this middle-rank Alchemy King of mine all due to you?"


    "Haha, this is all Grand Elder''s profound fortunes. What has it got to do with this child? Grand Elder broke through to middle-rank Alchemy King. Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sky propping pillar is much more stable. This is naturally something worth congratulating," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not claim credit at all, Skymaple was even more pleased. Smiling gently, he said, "This is pretty good! After this old man recuperates for a few days, I''ll start refining Soul Luring Pills! Xiao Jian, Potian, the two of you also need to cultivate harder in the future and strive to break through to half-step Soul Sea Realm soon! This way, my Tranquil Cloud Sect will have three Soul Sea Realm experts, and our strength will increase tremendously! Let''s see if the Heavenly Sky Sect still dares to bully my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    When Skymaple said those words, the four people were so agitated that they trembled non-stop!


    Soul Luring Pill was a medicinal pill to help Sea Transformation Realm experts breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm. It required the cultivation of middle-rank Alchemy King to be able to refine.


    But how many years had it been since a middle-rank Alchemy King alchemist appeared in the Tranquil Cloud Sect?


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect could produce three Soul Sea Realm powerhouse all at once, then they could jump to the middle reaches of the Eight Great Sects.


    Other sects would have to reevaluate before thinking about bullying the Tranquil Cloud Sect again!

    Chapter 288: Sending Off


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The might of alchemists laid here!


    Back then, the reason Ouyang Tuotian could let the Tranquil Cloud Sect flourish at the top for a time was due to this.


    As long as they had ample resources, alchemists could forcibly use medicinal pills to pile up a bunch of powerhouses!


    Three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. Even if they were only three First Level Soul Sea Realm, they would also absolutely be a force that most could not overlook in the Southern Domain.


    "En? Ye Yuan, you already broke through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This . . . Isn''t this cultivation speed seriously a little too fast?" Skymaple suddenly noticed Ye Yuan''s change and exclaimed in surprise.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed, he had long heard about it too. These words were more of worrying that Ye Yuan''s foundation would be shaky.


    Ye Yuan detected Skymaple''s concern and said smilingly, "Disciple had some comprehensions when taking part in the sect grand competition a few days back, so I borrowed the momentum to break through."


    Skymaple nodded and said, "Then that''s good; that''s fine! With your talent, staying in my Tranquil Cloud Sect is kind of wasted. But don''t you worry, the sect will definitely support you with all our might!"


    Skymaple deeply sensed that the Tranquil Cloud Sect really did not have too great of an allure to Ye Yuan. He could only show his support on such a matter.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Where did this come from, Grand Elder? Walking all the way until here, I''ve received much grace from the sect. No matter where I walk to, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be my root."


    Ye Yuan''s words had two layers of meaning. One was to express that he would not forget the Tranquil Cloud Sect. The second was to give Skymaple an immunization jab that he would definitely leave the Tranquil Cloud Sect in the future.


    Having witnessed Ye Yuan''s talent and means, Skymaple obviously would not be na?ve enough to think that a tiny little Tranquil Cloud Sect could hold Ye Yuan.


    But this sentence from Ye Yuan was enough!


    "Good, good. It''s good that you have this heart. You all take your leave first. This seat will rest for a few days before summoning you all again," Skymaple said.


    Luo Qingfeng suddenly voiced out at this time, "Martial Uncle, since you''ve already exited seclusion, Martial Nephew just happens to have something to discuss with you here."


    "Oh? Let''s hear it."


    Skymaple knew that Luo Qingfeng was not someone weak and spineless. Since he wanted to discuss something with him at this time, it was surely something major.


    Luo Qingfeng recounted the matter of the Heavenly Sky Sect inviting the seven sects to explore the mystic realm together to Skymaple in detail and also talked about the few people''s deductions.


    Skymaple shot Ye Yuan a surprised look. He nodded and said, "Ye Yuan''s analysis is very logical. This trip, we certainly must go! This mystic realm is bound to be extraordinary. We can''t let go of this chance! I think that you guys have already made a decision?"


    Luo Qingfeng also gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, "Yes, Martial Uncle. I''ve decided to let Yuntian lead the team and also select several personal disciples and elite disciples to go there. It''s just that Ye Yuan, he . . . wants to tag along too."


    Skymaple flung his hand when he heard that and said totally unconcernedly, "If he wants to go, then let him go! How can young people grow without experiencing hardship?"


    "But . . ." Luo Qingfeng did not imagine that Skymaple''s attitude was actually like this. He could not help saying anxiously.


    But Skymaple waved his hands to stop him and said, "Alright. This matter is set like this. I have to enter a retreat."


    Seeing Skymaple''s insistence, Luo Qingfeng could only drop it.


    "Blockhead! Why did Ye Yuan''s master leave him unattended? Isn''t it to let him experience trials alone? You treat him like treasure and hide him within the sect; how can Ye Yuan possibly agree to it? Furthermore, even if you forbid him from descending the mountain, would he listen obediently and not go down the mountain?"


    When Luo Qingfeng walked to the entrance, Skymaple''s voice transmission suddenly reached. He came to a realization why Skymaple insisted on letting Ye Yuan go.


    Rather than protecting Ye Yuan cautiously, it would be better to let him run himself amuck.


    What Ye Yuan''s master wanted to see was the ascension of a powerhouse and not a flower in a greenhouse.


    This point, Skymaple saw it much clearer than him.


    "Thank you for Martial Uncle''s guidance," Luo Qingfeng replied and withdrew.


    . . . . . .


    The following few days, Ye Yuan remained in seclusion without leaving to make ample preparations for this journey.


    This trip was beset with danger. Even if Ye Yuan had the intention to brave it, he also needed to make ample preparations.


    Luo Qingfeng picked seven disciples this time. Among them, the most powerful one was personal disciple Mo Yuntian.


    Apart from Mo Yuntian and Ye Yuan, Ti Wujiu and Tian Yu were surprisingly among them. Among the other three people, there was an elder''s personal disciple as well as two elite disciples.


    Tian Yu entered seclusion to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm after the grand competition. He was already a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. His strength went up a level.


    Now, Ye Yuan, Tian Yu, and Tang Yu-er''s identities were already elite disciples.


    After the grand competition, Cheng Wu and another elite disciple directly forsake the match when they saw Tian Yu and Ye Yuan''s fight, while Tang Yu-er defeated her opponent in the final match and got promoted to elite disciple too.


    Apart from this, Luo Qingfeng even appointed a Sea Transformation Realm elder to hold the line and lead these people forth.


    In the territories of the Heavenly Sky Sect, it could hardly be justified without a Sea Transformation Realm expert holding the line.


    But Luo Qingfeng also warned him in advance to not enter the mystic realm.


    In the entire team, there was only Ye Yuan this one Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. But fellow sect members who saw his grand competition obviously would not treat him as an ordinary Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    At the very least, the Ye Yuan after breaking through three minor realms successively definitely had a strength above Tian Yu!


    The power of that final sword, even the Tian Yu after breaking through probably did not dare to receive it head-on either.


    Everything was set. Skymaple exited seclusion to personally see these eight people off.


    After Li Zhangyu got an answer, he already returned to his sect first. He did not wish to stay in this Tranquil Cloud Sect for another moment longer.


    "Mei Zhen, this journey is very perilous. Your number one priority is to bring them back wholly intact, understood?" Skymaple exhorted.


    The elder leading the team was called Mei Zhen, a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. He was a prudent person. Luo Qingfeng chose him because he liked this point.


    Mei Zhen said respectfully, "Don''t worry, Grand Elder, Mei Zhen definitely won''t fail this assignment! These few people are my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s future. Even if I have to risk this old life, I''ll also bring them back safely."


    Honestly speaking, Mei Zhen himself did not really have much confidence in retreating unscathed. But at this moment, he could only say so.


    Skymaple nodded, and it was considered to have tacitly acknowledged Mei Zhen''s promise.


    He also knew that there would most likely be some losses on this trip. But what needed to be faced had to be faced eventually.


    While this trip was dangerous, it might be Mei Zhen''s and the team''s lucky chance!


    For geniuses who wished to grow up and become a genuine powerhouse, it was impossible to not face death. This point, Skymaple was crystal clear.


    Skymaple exhorted Mei Zhen again, and then he went in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, I won''t say anything unnecessary. I wish you a safe return! My Tranquil Cloud Sect''s rise and fall all lie on you alone!" Skymaple said.


    If Skymaple said these words in the past, everyone would surely scoff at it. But now, nobody objected. This was an indisputable truth!


    Ye Yuan''s talent was already exaggerated to the extent that it was unimaginable. His significance to the sect was naturally different too.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow and said respectfully, "Rest assured, Grand Elder, it''s just exploring a mystic realm. Ye Yuan definitely will not return empty handed!"

 Chapter 289: Tier 3 Detoxification Pill

    Chapter 289: Tier 3 Detoxification Pill


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Watching the flying vessel disappear into the horizon, Nanfeng Zhirou felt a rare sense of loss.


    "Sigh, stop looking. He is destined to be a person from a different world from us." Nanfeng Ruoqing behind her sighed faintly.


    Nanfeng Zhirou turned around, her beautiful eyes already holding tears.


    Not knowing why, when she heard Nanfeng Ruoqing''s words, her tears flowed down against her will.


    "Aunt, I . . . I . . ." Nanfeng Zhirou choked on her words.


    Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou like this, Nanfeng Ruoqing also felt sour in her heart.


    Her niece was so, but how was she not too?


    It was just that her feelings were much more reserved compared to Nanfeng Zhirou and would not be as emotional as Nanfeng Zhirou.


    Who knew when it started, but Ye Yuan''s figure would surface in Nanfeng Ruoqing''s mind ceaselessly.


    But with the passing of time, Nanfeng Ruoqing suddenly became aware that there was already an impassable gulf between Ye Yuan and her!


    He was no longer that little rookie who nearly lost his life at Nanfeng Zhirou''s sword. He had already grown into a towering tree. Even the formidable Tian Yu suffered defeat at his hands.


    Now, the two of them aunt and niece were almost unable to see even Ye Yuan''s back view anymore!


    Nanfeng Zhirou leaned on her aunt''s shoulder and cried while Nanfeng Ruoqing gently patted her back, consoling her as she said, "I know, I know."


    "Sniff, sniff, then . . . then what about aunty?" Nanfeng Zhirou sniffled.


    Nanfeng Ruoqing froze. Her beautiful body let her down and started trembling.


    Nanfeng Zhirou pushed off her hug and said with tears running down her face, "I know that aunty likes him too. Do . . . Do we really have no chance at all?"


    Nanfeng Ruoqing sighed and shook her head, saying, "Bury this feeling in your heart and perhaps we can still maintain the relationship of friends. Otherwise, I''m afraid that . . . it will scare him off."


    Nanfeng Zhirou said stubbornly, "I . . . I''m unresigned!"


    Nanfeng Ruoqing sighed lightly and did not say anything else.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan and and the team rode the flying vessel, traveling 100 thousand miles a day. But the Tranquil Cloud Sect was too far away from the Heavenly Sky Sect. They needed ten days or so before they could reach.


    On the flying vessel, Ye Yuan meditated every day to cultivate and consolidate his realm. At this moment, he was already not far from the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Towards such a cultivation speed, the group of seniors could only sigh with admiration.


    "Elder Mei, ahead is the Cloud Dream Mountain Range. Let''s go down," Mo Yuntian said.


    Mei Zhen nodded, and the group of eight disembarked the flying vessel.


    The coordinates Li Zhangyu left behind for the Tranquil Cloud Sect was this Cloud Dream Mountain Range, which was also the entrance to that unknown mystic realm.


    Riding the flying vessel would easily startle the demonic beasts in the mountains. Hence, the Tranquil Cloud Sect party chose to disembark the flying vessel in advance and walk on foot.


    Up ahead, vast expanses of mountain ranges towered into the clouds. It looked very lofty and magnificent.


    "This Cloud Dream Mountain Range is a famous danger-zone within the Heavenly Sky Sect''s boundaries. Not only are there demonic beasts running wild inside, but there are also even all kinds of poisonous miasma in the mountains. Even a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist who recklessly goes deep inside might not return alive," Mei Zhen said.


    "We''ve already entered the mountain range. Everyone, consume this detoxification pill first to prevent succumbing to the toxin of this poisonous miasma," Mo Yuntian said to everyone.


    They were currently not deep into the mountains at the moment. This miasma did not pose much threat to them, but Mo Yuntian felt that it was better to be safe.


    After all, this was other people''s territory. As strangers in a strange land, it was best to not fail miserably here.


    "Wait a minute!" Just as they were about to swallow the pill, Ye Yuan opened his mouth to stop them.


    "What is it, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?" Mo Yuntian asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan fished out a bottle of pills and passed it to Mo Yuntian, saying, "Use my medicinal pills."


    "This . . ." Mo Yuntian involuntarily hesitated.


    What they were eating were Tier 3 Detoxification Pills, but Ye Yuan was at most an Alchemy Master. Could the medicinal pills that he refined be better than those refined by the Pill Hall elders?


    But Mo Yuntian knew that Ye Yuan would not do this kind of lame thing from his personality. He could not help hesitating.


    "Yuntian, open it up and take a look," at this time, Mei Zhen spoke.


    Mo Yuntian did as told and opened the medicinal bottle. Medicinal fragrance reached their noses.


    "These . . . These are Tier 3 Detoxification Pills? Where did you get this from, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?" Mo Yuntian could not help being astonished when he saw the pills in the medicinal bottle.


    Martial artists were no strangers to medicinal pills. This bottle of pills given by Ye Yuan were clearly Tier 3 Detoxification Pills as well but was completely different from the ones that they brought.


    Although they had not eaten it yet, Mo Yuntian could feel just from the medicinal fragrance that these detoxification pills were much better than those refined by the elders.


    Ye Yuan was only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. Where did his medicinal pills come from?


    Mo Yuntian and these disciple were unaware, but as an elder, Mei Zhen knew that Ye Yuan had the identity of nominal elder in the Pill Hall. That was why he made Mo Yuntian open it up to see.


    Except, when he saw these Tier 3 Detoxification Pills, Mei Zhen was speechlessly shocked!


    Could these medicinal pills be refined by Ye Yuan himself?


    Mei Zhen was very clear that it was impossible for the elders in the Pill Hall to refine such detoxification pills even if Grand Elder Skymaple took up the matter personally!


    Because the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not have the pill formula for this kind of detoxification pills!


    Mei Zhen was not surprised that Ye Yuan knew this sort of new pill formula. But if Ye Yuan refined Tier 3 medicinal pills with Alchemy Master status, that would be too shocking!


    Mei Zhen had lived to ripe old age and had seen many Spirit Condensation Realms crossing ranks to battle with Crystal Formation Realms, but had never seen Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists being able to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills!


    This was the first time Mei Zhen felt awe and reverence towards a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!


    This Ye Yuan was truly too shocking!


    Ye Yuan originally did not wish to draw too much attention either, but he faintly felt that this Cloud Dream Mountain Range did not seem very normal.


    For the sake of fellow members'' safety, he had better take out these detoxification pills.


    Not only could his detoxification pills resolve poison within the body, but it could also even resolve the poison miasma which affected the divine soul at the same time.


    Ye Yuan was the ancestor of using poison. With a sweeping glance, he knew that the poison miasma in the deep regions of this Cloud Dream Mountain Range most likely had an effect on the divine soul. That was why he took out his own detoxification pills.


    This was how the Cloud Dream Mountain Range got its name.


    Once a martial artist''s divine soul got infected by the poison miasma, they would probably fall into an illusion or insanity. If they were not treated in time, they would ultimately be tormented by this poison miasma till death.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said to Mo Yuntian, "Don''t ask anymore, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Will Junior harm you?"


    Mo Yuntian felt awkward and replied with a smile, "Where did that come from, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye? I was just overly surprised. Cough, cough . . . Juniors, let''s all consume Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s detoxification pill. His medicinal pills . . . seem to be much better than the ones we brought!"


    Mo Yuntian distributed the medicinal pills to the others and also swallowed one himself.


    Mo Yuntian only noticed that Ye Yuan did not eat any after consuming the medicinal pill. He could not help asking, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, why aren''t you eating?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I don''t need to. This miasma is ineffective against me."


    Mo Yuntian was stupefied. Indeed, he discovered that there was really some empty space around Ye Yuan. This miasma was actually unable to approach Ye Yuan!


    This . . . was too wonderous!

 Chapter 290: Humiliation

    Chapter 290: Humiliation


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "No way! Ye Yuan, why can''t this poisonous miasma touch you?" Mo Yuntian exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "I have a magic treasure on me that can ward off this poisonous miasma."


    Mo Yuntian had a look of realization. "That explains it!"


    Ye Yuan threw out a white lie. He did not have any magic treasure on him at all.


    Or should he say, his magic treasure was his divine soul!


    Ye Yuan once used his body to test poison countless times in his previous life and then resolve it himself. Regardless of whether it was his body or divine soul, there was incredible immunity against toxicity. One could say that he had reached the level of invulnerable to a hundred poisons.


    This poisonous miasma was just some low-level existence to Ye Yuan. It naturally could not harm him.


    Of course, if it were a Tier 9 poisonous miasma, even if Ye Yuan recovered to his peak state, he would not be able to withstand it.


    The horrors of a Tier 9 toxic miasma was something that ordinary people could not understand.


    "Alright, everyone already ate the pills. Let''s set off," Mei Zhen said.


    The group forcefully pressed down the astonishment in their hearts and started heading towards the depths of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, walking towards the coordinates given by Heavenly Sky Sect.


    The strength of this team was incredibly powerful. Normal low-tier demonic beasts were simply unable to come close.


    The group walked for some time without any obstacles but heard some human bustling indistinctly ahead.


    Walking closer to take a look, it turned out to be a group of burly men surrounding two girls in the center like they were demanding something.


    The two ladies, one was wearing a light-yellow tunic, and the other was wearing white-colored fitting robes. Their looks were very ordinary.


    Especially the female wearing a light-yellow tunic. She even had an ugly birthmark on her face, making people feel like puking when they see it. It was hideous.


    Furthermore, she had a pale, sickly look, and her face was waxen like she had some peculiar illness.


    But the two people''s realms were not low. They were around the Second or Third Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    "Hey, ugly girl. Why haven''t you surrendered the Crow Orchid Ganoderma? If you continue to not know what''s good for you, don''t blame us for not being polite!"


    That girl in white fitting robes said icily, "We discovered this Crow Orchid Ganoderma first. Why should we give you?"


    "Why should you? Because we''re stronger than you! This Crow Orchid Ganoderma is a Tier 4 spirit medicine. Letting the two of you uglies enjoy it is too much of a waste of God''s gift. Haha . . ."


    His laughter stopped abruptly because they discovered that another group of people showed up.


    "Elder Mei, it''s people from the High Clarity Sect," Mo Yuntian recognized the identities of these people very quickly and said to Mei Zhen.


    Mei Zhen nodded. It was clear that he recognized these people too.


    "The High Clarity Sect is really declining as time passes. As a member of the Eight Great Sects, they''re actually doing something dirty like committing highway robbery!" Mei Zhen said with contempt.


    "What should we do, Elder Mei?" Mo Yuntian asked worriedly.


    High Clarity Sect was ranked four among the Eight Great Sects; much stronger compared to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    There were roughly ten people in this group. The number of people was even slightly more than Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side. They were clearly going to participate in this unknown mystic realm exploration too.


    Both parties obviously did not imagine that they would actually bump into each other here beforehand. Furthermore, it was under such awkward circumstances.


    More than 10 guys bullying two frail girls. It was evidently not something honorable.


    Mei Zhen frowned slightly. He was obviously considering how to deal with this matter too.


    "So, it''s friends from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. I believe that you''re going to the unknown mystic realm too, right? These two ladies stole my High Clarity Sect''s item. I hope that none of you will intervene in this matter. Or else . . ." a Sea Transformation Realm expert from the High Clarity Sect said.


    These people were obviously the same as Mei Zhen; people leading the High Clarity Sect team.


    It was just that the High Clarity Sect''s team had two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists inside. This allowed their team''s strength to be much stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s.


    The other party had evidently seen the contrast in strength between both parties. Hence, they were fearless. There were even some hints of threatening when talking.


    "Pooh! This Crow Orchid Ganoderma was clearly obtained by us first. When did it become your High Clarity Sect''s item? Do you still want face or not?" The girl in fitting robes said scornfully.


    The ugly girl in yellow clothes appeared very calm instead and was not as agitated as the girl in white fitting robes. She pulled her sleeves and said, "Forget it, Yan-er."


    "Miss, I''m unwilling to give in!" Yan-er said unhappily.


    The ugly girl smiled but did not say anymore. Yan-er kept her mouth shut sensibly.


    It looks like this ugly girl was even the master of that Yan-er.


    "Haha, this ugly girl knows what''s good and bad. How is it, Tranquil Cloud Sect''s friends, are you going to sow a grudge against us?" the person from the High Clarity Sect said arrogantly.


    Mei Zhen let out a sigh and said to the people behind him, "Let''s go!"


    Finished talking, he brought the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s group and skirted around this area and continued walking towards the depths of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people all had bitterness on their faces. It was clear that they were very unwilling.


    People who practiced the sword tend to be righteous. Most of these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples practiced the sword. Encountering such an incident, they naturally wanted to draw their sword to help out.


    This group of people from the High Clarity Sect was really too shameless. To actually bully two weak girls and even maligned them.


    But with the present situation, even if the Tranquil Cloud Sect and the other party fought it out to the death, it would be hard to win in the end. After all, the other party had two Sea Transformation Realm experts.


    Ye Yuan''s expression flickered but did not say anything. He followed the main group step by step and left.


    "Tch! Indeed jackals from the same lair! There''s not a single good person from the sects! Turning around and leaving when they see this kind of situation, what difference is there from the culprits?"


    Yan-er''s cold laughter came from behind. Mei Zhen''s figure involuntary froze.


    After pausing for a split second, he strode out in large steps. Out of sight, and out of mind.


    Luo Qingfeng''s reminder sounded beside his ear. Mei Zhen did not wish to ruin the lives of the sect''s elites in vain just because of a momentary impulse.


    The ones he brought out this time were all the elite forces of the sect, especially Ye Yuan. If he lost his life because of two barely acquainted girls, how was he going to give an account to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng when he returned?


    "Hahaha, the Tranquil Cloud Sect are indeed a bunch of cowards, running away without even daring to let out a fart! I think once Skymaple that old fellow dies, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s signboard of one of the Eight Great Sects most likely can''t be preserved."


    "Such a group of cowards is also worthy of being called Eight Great Sects? Really dying of laughter!"


    "The mystic realm exploration this time is so dangerous and they actually only sent a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. I think they have no deployable personnel in the sect, right? There''re so many natural treasures in this mystic realm, yet they came to be bystanders. I wonder how many can return alive this time? Hahaha."


    The High Clarity Sect''s people did not deliberately conceal their voices. Brazen mocking laughter spread over from far away. The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s group could not resist wanting to go back to fight it out to the death.


    At this time, Tian Yu heard the other party cursing Skymaple and could not hold back anymore. He turned around and went back.


    "This bunch of grandsons. Do they really think that they are extraordinary? I''ll go kill that loudmouthed fellow!" Tian Yu said furiously.


    "Halt!" Mei Zhen stopped Tian Yu and said, "Tian Yu, if you dare to go back, I''ll immediately seal your essence energy!"


    "Elder Mei, they . . . they''re bullying us too far!"


    Mei Zhen said in a low voice, "Lack of forbearance in minor matters upsets great plans! You''re all the sect''s future. Don''t struggle for this sort of momentary relief! If you feel humiliated, then cultivate harder and claim this debt in the future!"


    "But . . ."


    Right then, Ye Yuan pulled Tian Yu but smiled at Mei Zhen and said, "Elder Mei, you guys go ahead first. I have something and need to leave for a while."

 Chapter 291: Scapegoat

    Chapter 291: Scapegoat


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "What? You want to go back alone? No way! Absolutely not!" Mei Zhen refused right away.


    The other side had two Sea Transformation Realm experts. What was Ye Yuan going back alone for other than courting death?


    Even if Ye Yuan was more monstrous, it was also impossible to be a Sea Transformation Realm expert''s match right now!


    Ye Yuan''s performance also made everyone feel very surprised. From earlier up until now, Ye Yuan had always been the calmest person.


    But now, Ye Yuan wanted to go back alone!


    Mo Yuntian also jumped in fright. He hurriedly urged, "What Elder Mei said was correct. We should know shame, and then be motivated, and so cultivate even harder. Ye Yuan, don''t fight for this momentary release. With your talent, wouldn''t crushing them be effortless in the future?"


    But Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Elder Mei and Senior Apprentice Brother Mo are worrying too much. I just have some other matters to attend to. I''m not going back to seek revenge. Don''t worry, everyone. You guys go on first. I''ll catch up later."


    Mei Zhen was stunned when he heard this. "You''re really not going back to find the High Clarity Sect?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Really not! Relax, Elder Mei. Ye Yuan still have some little tricks. Protecting myself in this Cloud Dream Mountain Range is not an issue."


    "This Cloud Dream Mountain Range is riddled with dangers. If you have something, why not say it? Best is if everybody moves together," Mei Zhen frowned and said.


    "Just something minor. I''ll be right back. Won''t delay much time. Elder Mei, bring the rest away first," Ye Yuan said.


    Mei Zhen thought about it and nodded, saying, "Alright then, catch up swiftly. You''re moving alone, so if you encounter any situation, make sure not to be rash. Protecting yourself is the most important!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Rest assured, Elder Mei. Ye Yuan is not somebody reckless like that. Farewell!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved and vanished from everyone''s sight.


    Mei Zhen sighed and said to the group, "Let''s go!"


    But Mo Yuntian said, "Elder Mei, Ye Yuan he is clearly going back to find the High Clarity Sect''s men. How can you let him go?"


    Mei Zhen looked at Mo Yuntian and said with a sigh, "Before setting off, Grand Elder informed me that although I''m the one in charge, if Ye Yuan wants to do something, let him do it. Do not stop him. Turns out that Grand Elder had already anticipated today''s situation long ago!"


    Mo Yuntian could not help being stifled when he heard this, but he did not know what to say either.


    Grand Elder had long predicted that Ye Yuan would not listen obediently and gave him maximum freedom. How could he forbid it?


    Mo Yuntian believed that Grand Elder was surely even clearer than him about Ye Yuan''s significance to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Since he dared to say so, it showed that he had full confidence in Ye Yuan.


    But Mo Yuntian just could not figure out how Ye Yuan was going to face two great Sea Transformation Realm experts along with other Crystal Formation Realm martial artists by himself.


    . . . . . .


    In the open field, the High Clarity Sect people were laughing at the Tranquil Cloud Sect. For a moment, there was actually nobody who paid attention to the two girls.


    In their eyes, those two girls were lambs awaiting slaughter. They could take action at any time.


    After mocking for a while and seeing that the Tranquil Cloud Sect group were already far away, they also felt bored and turned their attention to those two girls again.


    A High Clarity Sect''s Sea Transformation Realm elder took a few steps closer and reached his hand out to the ugly girl, saying, "Ugly girl, quickly hand over the Crow Orchid Ganoderma. If you still don''t know how to appreciate kindness, then don''t blame me for being impolite."


    That ugly girl shook her head and said, "It''s not that I''m not handing it over. It''s that this Crow Orchid Ganoderma is useful to me, so I can''t hand it to you."


    The elder''s face became frosty and said, "Don''t reject face when it''s given to you! What has it got to do with me whether it''s useful to you or not? Are you handing it over or not?"


    As he was talking, that elder released the pressure of a Sea Transformation Realm. It seemed like he was going to attack with a single word of disagreement.


    But Yan-er sneered coldly and said, "This is really a tiger landing in a plain being bullied by dogs. Some random stray cats and dogs also dare to bully people! I''m not going to surrender it today, what can you do about it?"


    Yan-er was just about to take action but was held back by the ugly girl.


    "Somebody from that batch of people came back. Hold your hand," the ugly girl transmitted her voice.


    When the elder heard Yan-er''s words, he was dazed. But he immediately became furious to the extreme and said with a laugh, "Good, good, good! What a razor tongue little lass! Old me have traversed unobstructed in the Southern Domain for so many years, but this is the first time somebody called me a stray animal. Watch if I don''t shred your mouth later!"


    Finished talking, that elder gathered up essence energy and wanted to make a move.


    But right then, a vast expanse of white fog suddenly rose around him.


    This fog came too quickly, directly submerging everyone inside. In a blink, one could not even see their hands in front of them. Even those two girls standing opposite could not be seen.


    That elder was secretly alarmed. But his hands did not slow. He still fired out an essence energy ball at the place where the two girls stood earlier.


    But sadly, he did not hear tragic cries coming from the opposite. It was as if this blow sunk into the sea like a rock without even stirring a wave.


    The elder turned around to look, but where was there still any shadows of his companions? The surroundings were all thick white fog. Nothing could be seen.


    "What''s going on? Why can''t we see anything all of a sudden?"


    "Ah! Who is it?! Who bumped into me?"


    "Ouch! Who kicked me?"


    Disorderly sounds came from behind. They were clearly all caught completely off guard by this unexpected white fog.


    The elder''s face fell, and he yelled out, "Everyone stay right where you are for me and don''t move! Face the fearful without fear, and its fearfulness disappears! This is but a tiny little entrapping formation. It''s very easy to break! Yu Feng, you work with me to break this formation!"


    "Okay," not far away, the other Sea Transformation Realm elder''s voice cried out.


    These two people did not know array formations, but their advantage laid in that their strength was formidable.


    The pair joined forces and wildly bombarded all directions. After 15 minutes, the array formation finally loosened. The vast expanse of white fog started to dissipate.


    The elder looked around, but the two girls were long gone. He was so furious that he slapped a palm on the large tree beside him. That huge tree collapsed at the sound of it.


    That elder called Yu Feng came up and said, "Brother Wang Fan, do you think this is that group of people from the Tranquil Cloud Sect playing tricks?"


    Wang Fan pulled a long face and said, "I know those cowards from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. To be able to set up such an entrapping formation imperceptibly under our eyes, they do not have that capability!"


    Yu Feng frowned and said, "But, if it isn''t Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people, then who is it?"


    Wang Fan gnashed his teeth hatefully and said, "Perhaps those two girls have reinforcements. Furthermore, he is an array formation expert! A duck that landed in our hands flew away. So vexing!"


    Yu Feng said, "Although the entrapping formation''s level was not high, it wasn''t simple! He took advantage of geographical conditions to lay out this miniature entrapping formation and even instantly gathered the fog in the mountains for his own use. With our wild attacks, it forcefully lasted for 15 minutes!"


    Wang Fan nodded and said, "This person''s strength shouldn''t be strong, but his Array Dao attainments cannot be underestimated! If he had Sea Transformation Realm strength, then you and I would probably have to die here! Let''s go. Later when we enter the mystic realm, I have to properly find trouble with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    The disciples could not help taking pity on them. The pitiful Tranquil Cloud Sect became the two girls'' scapegoat.

 Chapter 292: Diagnosis

    Chapter 292: Diagnosis


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    In a deep valley inside the Cloud Dream Mountain Range, three silhouettes moved up and down and stopped at an empty lot.


    The three people were none other than precisely Ye Yuan and the two girls.


    Yan-er sized up Ye Yuan''s young and handsome face and said with a smile, "A Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm who is not yet 16 years old. This rate of progress is considered decent."


    Ye Yuan smiled too and said, "Miss Yan-er flatters me."


    Yan-er said in surprise, "How rare that you actually remembered my name. And it''s also rare for the sects to actually have such a righteous, heroic youth like yourself. Truly out of my expectations. Those fellows who stood by and watched us die are all some cold-blood creatures. I hope that they get eaten by demonic beasts!"


    "Yan-er! Mister is our savior, how can you talk this way to him?" the ugly girl reproached.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "No harm. Miss Yan-er a straight talker, rather very alike to a friend of mine. It''s just that these words are kind of biased and a little vicious. It''s not that those seniors of mine didn''t wish to save you, but their strength is lacking even though their heart is willing. You saw it too, the High Clarity Sect has two Sea Transformation Realm experts. If we clash, our side will definitely lose out greatly. Also, our sect''s strength is beneath theirs. They are all part of the main forces of their sect. If there are any mishaps, the sect cannot bear it either."


    The friend that Ye Yuan referred to was naturally Nanfeng Zhirou. Except, this Yan-er and Nanfeng Zhirou had some differences. She was missing some princess temper.


    He could sense that this Yan-er''s anger was still primarily because the Tranquil Cloud Sect looked on indifferently without lending a hand in their matters.


    Actually, in the martial arts world, these sort of deploring was really not very logical.


    This Yan-er seemed like a fledgling who had just entered the world, ignorant towards everything.


    Yan-er sized up Ye Yuan and suddenly said, "Alright, I forgive them. I take back my words earlier. The demonic beasts won''t eat them."


    Hearing these words, even if it was Ye Yuan, he also could not quite refrain from laughing. He clasped his hands and said, "Then I''ll thank Miss Yan-er on behalf of my seniors."


    The ugly girl bobbed a curtsy and apologized, "Yan-er is insensible. Mister, please do not blame."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Miss Yan-er is forthright and is clear about what to love or hate. Why would I get angry with her?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan could not refrain from sizing up the ugly girl. She was really quite unsightly.


    But Ye Yuan would not discriminate against her because of this. Looks were determined by parents and the heaven. How could one make the decision?


    Furthermore, although this girl was hideous, she was highly cultured and sensible, gentle and generous. Her movements had the grace of an influential family. Presumably, her background should not be poor.


    "What are you looking at, punk? Don''t think that you can have any improper thoughts because you saved us! My family''s miss is out of your reach!"


    When Yan-er saw Ye Yuan''s eyes, she immediately became full of fighting spirit like a mother hen protecting her chicks as if her family''s miss was some matchless beauty.


    Ye Yuan inadvertently found it funny when he saw the situation and said, "Miss Yan-er is overanalyzing things. From what I see, your family''s miss''s body seems to be unwell, that''s why I took a few more looks at her."


    A trace of astonishment involuntarily flashed across Yan-er and that ugly girl''s faces. But Yan-er said cunningly, "My family''s miss''s complexion looks bad. Even a moron can tell that her body is unwell, right?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Your family''s miss''s illness is probably not something as simple as her complexion being pale and wan. This one is knowledgeable in medical knowledge, may I take a look at miss? Maybe I can be of help."


    Yan-er gave a doubtful look and thought to herself could it be that this fellow perceived something?


    "You, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. At the very best, you''re just an Alchemy Master too. What can you see?" Yan-er said vigilantly.


    But the ugly girl said, "Since Mister can see that my body is unwell, I believe that you learned from a renowned master. There''s no harm in taking a look. However, I''ve seen before many famed masters for this illness of mine, but they were all helpless about it."


    Though she said so, the ugly girl reached her dainty hand out and placed it in front of Ye Yuan.


    Yan-er was alarmed when she saw it and said, "Miss . . ."


    The ugly girl waved her hands and said, "There''s no harm. Mister just has good intentions. I guess that Mister came from a prominent master and when he saw this sickly body of mine, he began itching to try his skill."


    Ye Yuan could not help being stupefied when he heard this. He chortled and said, "Miss is very astute; this Ye Yuan is very impressed! With my visual prowess, I should be able to see through miss''s sickness with one glance. But I got nothing after looking for a long time. This one is indeed itching to test my skills."


    Ye Yuan thought to himself that although this lady''s looks were appalling, she was very clever and sensible as if she could see through people''s thoughts with one look.


    Alchemists were all medical practitioners. Helping people diagnose illness was usual practice.


    Ye Yuan''s abilities went without saying. For common illnesses, he only had to examine slightly before being able to determine it.


    But earlier, he stared at this ugly girl for a long time and got nothing. This really made him itch to have a go.


    But when Yan-er heard this, she said disdainfully, "You''re just a low-rank Alchemy Master, what are you pretending to be capable for? Even if an Alchemy Grandmaster or an Alchemy King came, they might not necessarily be as arrogant as you, right?"


    Ye Yuan shot Yan-er a brief glance and opened his mouth to say, "Miss Yan-er''s blood vitality has a slight deficit and your complexion a little pale. I think that you had just suffered very severe internal injuries several months back. Now, although your injuries have already healed, the lost blood essence has most likely yet to recover fully. The Crow Orchid Ganoderma that the High Clarity Sect was asking for was probably Miss giving Miss Yan-er to use to replenish her blood essence, right?"


    This time, Yan-er was truly shocked. What Ye Yuan said was actually not the tiniest bit off!


    If Yan-er''s injuries were not recovered yet, there was naturally nothing impressive about Ye Yuan perceiving it.


    But her injuries were already practically healed. The average person would absolutely be unable to see from the surface that she had suffered tremendous internal injuries a few months ago!


    The injury at that time was naturally to protect the young lady. She nearly died because of it.


    But several months had already passed since then. Her wounds were already pretty much healed, and her deficient blood essence was already largely recovered. This Crow Orchid Ganoderma was only used to consolidate her foundation and to replenish her spirit to prevent affecting future cultivation.


    Looking on the outside, she was no different from an ordinary person.


    But even so, Ye Yuan still saw through it at a single glance!


    A puny little low-rank Alchemy Master actually had such visual prowess!


    The ugly girl was also surprised as she said, "Mister actually have such visual prowess. What you said was completely on point! Looks like Yan-er and I judged people by their appearance and looked down on Mister. Li-er apologizes to Mister."


    As she spoke, she curtsied towards Ye Yuan again.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly performed a supporting hand gesture and said smilingly, "Miss need not be so polite! So, turns out that Miss''s name is called Li-er. What a nice name."


    "Mister is too kind. I still don''t know how to address mister," Li-er asked.


    Ye Yuan said, "This one is surnamed Ye. Given name is one word, Yuan."


    "So, it''s Mister Ye. Then please Mister ye, do a diagnosis for Li-er," as she said this, Li-er reached her delicate arm out again.


    "Miss Yan-er, now, can I help Miss Li-er take a look yet?" Ye Yuan did not reach out immediately. Instead, he faced Yan-er and asked.


    Yan-er pouted and said huffily, "Miss already agreed. What''s the use if I don''t agree?"


    Ye Yuan burst into laughter and reached two fingers out to put on Li-er''s wrist.

 Chapter 293: Two Types of Spirit Physique!

    Chapter 293: Two Types of Spirit Physique!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    When he saw Li-er''s slender and exquisite arm, Ye Yuan could not help being stunned.


    Her arm was glossy and clear, akin to fine white tallow jade as if it did not belong in the mortal realm.


    This arm could virtually be described using the word perfect.


    Looking at Li-er''s appalling looks again, Ye Yuan felt extremely strong contrast!


    Ye Yuan felt very suspicious. How could two of such extremes appear on a girl at the same time?


    "Mister Ye?" Li-er voiced out a reminder.


    Ye Yuan only recovered then and laughed awkwardly. "Apologies. I lost focus."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan shut his eyes and purged distracting thoughts. He began diagnosing Li-er.


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrow gradually knitted together, becoming increasingly creased and deep.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, Li-er asked, "Did Mister Ye make out something?"


    At this time, Ye Yuan let go of Li-er''s wrist. That creamy feel at his fingertips unwittingly made his mind wander.


    That sort of touching sensation actually led people to reminiscence endlessly!


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing inwardly. How could such a girl have a face like this? What a shame!


    Yan-er saw Ye Yuan''s reminiscing look and knew that his thoughts were running wild.


    Towards her own family''s miss''s charm, she knew deeply from experience.


    Seeing Ye Yuan keeping silent, Yan-er could not resist speaking first. "Can''t say it, right? I knew it. A puny little low-rank Alchemy Master imitating other great masters to read the pulse. Many divine doctors have taken a look at my family''s miss''s sickness and have no inkling at all. I really don''t know where your courage came from! I also don''t know how you duped us with those words earlier!"


    Ye Yuan did not bother with her. Instead, he asked Li-er, "Have Miss Li-er cultivated ocular arts before?"


    Li-er originally also thought that Ye Yuan was somebody with superficial knowledge. When she heard this, she involuntarily became alert and said with a nod, "That''s right. Li-er has cultivated ocular arts since young."


    Ye Yuan nodded and continued probing. "If my conjectures are correct, Miss Li-er must have advanced at a tremendous pace when cultivating ocular arts, right?"


    "That''s right. Mister Ye can actually even tell this? Could it be that . . . this strange illness of mine is related to cultivating ocular arts?" Li-er asked in puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan was only reading her pulse. Under the situation where Li-er did not take the initiative to release her ocular powers, Ye Yuan would simply be unable to detect it.


    In the past, those alchemists who diagnosed her all knew that she trained in ocular arts. But Ye Yuan was unaware.


    He actually discovered that she had cultivated ocular arts before just based on reading her pulse! He was clearly extraordinary!


    Moreover, hearing the meaning behind Ye Yuan''s words, it seemed like her illness had a strong correlation to cultivating ocular arts!


    Ye Yuan did not answer Li-er''s question but continued asking, "Does Miss Li-er feel dispirited every few months and become completely listless whenever you''re doing anything?"


    At this time, Li-er had already completely put away any form of underestimation and said solemnly, "That''s right! In the past, this sort of situation would happen every few months. It would last three to five days each time. But recently, the time between this symptom is becoming increasingly shorter, but the time it persists is getting progressively longer. My father had invited innumerable famed doctors because of this, but nobody could diagnose this illness! I didn''t think that Mister Ye actually has such capabilities at this young age!"


    By the side, where was there still any hint of despise from Yan-er? She had long perked her ears up to listen intently.


    She was right beside when those so-called famous doctors diagnosed Miss. But nobody could explain why.


    But this boy only diagnosed slightly and could actually perceive so many things!


    Compared to this Ye Yuan, those so-called famous doctors were truly beneath even trash!


    This period of time, watching Miss being tormented by her ailment, Yan-er also felt like she was experiencing it herself.


    But her concern was just concern. She was at a complete loss on what to do!


    Even Old Master was helpless, what could she do?


    Hearing Li-er''s praise, there was no pleased expression on Ye Yuan''s face. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Miss Li-er is really a person riddled with paradoxes!"


    Li-er was dumbstruck. She asked, "What does Mister Ye mean?"


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Forgive Ye Yuan for being brusque. I''ve observed that Miss Li has ice skin and jade bones, a sign of extreme nobility. Yet, your looks don''t match. I discern that Miss Li-er has Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, advancing at a tremendous pace when cultivating ocular arts. Yet, it just had to be the Innate Battle Soul Physique too."


    Li-er and Yan-er had blank looks on their faces. They clearly know nothing about this Innate Battle Soul Physique.


    "Mister Ye, what kind of spirit physique is this Innate Battle Soul Physique? Li-er has never heard of it before. Mister Ye, please enlighten us," Li-er opened her mouth to ask.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "In this age, when martial artists cultivate, they first accumulate essence, then cultivate the soul, and then gain enlightenment on Dao. This is associated with the Upper Three Realms, Middle Three Realms, and Lower Three Realms. This kind of cultivation system is already very complete. The vast majority of martial artists in the world would take this path."


    Ye Yuan rattled on. Li-er and Yan-er were all secretly astounded.


    They did not think that within a tiny little Southern Domain sect, there was actually somebody who could enumerate the Upper, Middle, and Lower three realm cultivation system like his family''s own inheritance.


    "But then, it was said that 100 thousand years ago, there was once a peerless powerhouse who possessed the Innate Battle Soul Physique. He walked the cultivation path of merging spirit and body and finally stepped into the Deity Realm! It was said that people who possessed this type of spirit physique, their bodies, and divine soul would gradually amalgamate, attaining the unparalleled Great Dao from there!" Ye Yuan continued.


    Li-er was unbelievably baffled when she heard this. She had never heard of such a horrifying spirit physique before. And she herself was actually the owner of this kind of spirit physique!


    "Your meaning is . . ." Li-er was nimble-minded. She had evidently already guessed what Ye Yuan was going to say.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right. The Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique is likewise a Deity Realm Physique. Furthermore, the cultivation of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique similarly requires the support of soul force! That''s also to say, this two types of spirit physiques are tearing your divine soul at the same time! All the way until one day, they will split your divine soul into two! Also, your current symptoms are not very obvious yet. You just feel dizzy and lethargic. Subsequently, the pain of your divine soul will become progressively stronger. That kind of ripping sensation will make you wish that you were dead!"


    When Ye Yuan was breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he personally had a taste of that sort of divine soul tearing agony. That kind of feeling of dying being better than living was still fresh in his mind right now.


    If a person suffered such torment every day, even a man of iron would collapse too, let alone a little girl.


    And Ye Yuan knew that even if one were a Divine King Realm powerhouse, under such torment, there would only be death in the end!


    Any one of these two types of spirit physiques would be incredibly terrifying. But gathering onto a person at the same time was lethal.


    When Yan-er listened to Ye Yuan''s words, her tears immediately flowed. "Nonsense! You''re definitely talking rubbish! This Innate Battle Soul Physique is simply unheard of. How do you know?"


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "I also didn''t imagine that I could chance upon such a spirit physique. But through Miss Li-er''s pulse earlier, I could indistinctly sense the strength of the ripping and the absorption her body has on the divine soul. Such a state is exactly the same as the Innate Battle Soul Physique!"


    Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive towards soul force. Although the absorbing force in Li-er''s body was very minute, he could still detect it.

 Chapter 294: Divine Soul Mystic Art and Tier 8 Pill Formula!

    Chapter 294: Divine Soul Mystic Art and Tier 8 Pill Formula!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Yan-er suddenly wiped her tears and said, "I know! You''re definitely hankering after my family''s miss''s beauty, that''s why you''re deliberately saying so! Yes? No? I''m telling you, give up on this idea! My family''s miss already likes someone else!"


    When Yan-er''s words came out, Li-er''s expression dimmed instead. Her eyes revealed a woeful look.


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. He looked at Li-er''s face but did not say anything.


    Towards this face, Ye Yuan was not disgusted by it, but it was not to an extent where he was coveting her beauty, right?


    What did that have to do with this?!


    This Miss Yan-er was really packed with confidence in her family''s miss!


    Forget about Li-er, even Yan-er herself had no relation to the word ''beauty,'' right?


    "Yan-er, stop talking nonsense. This appearance of mine, it''s already extremely hard to come by that Mister Ye is not repulsed by me. What beauty is there?" Li-er glared at Yan-er and said crossly.


    "But Miss, you didn''t see that lecherous look of his just now!" Yan-er refused to give in.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "Since Miss Yan-er suspects my motives, then just take it as if I didn''t say it. My seniors are still waiting for me. Farewell, ladies!"


    Ye Yuan not arguing did not mean that he really had no temper.


    This Yan-er is really too self-absorbed. Even if I have never met women before, it''s not to the extent where I will immediately be moved when I see a face like this, right?


    If he continued talking, wouldn''t he saving people out of goodwill become ulterior motives?


    "Wait a minute, Mister Ye! Keep your mouth shut for me, Yan-er!" Just as Ye Yuan turned around to leave, Li-er hurriedly stopped him.


    "Miss Li-er, this Ye was just shooting my mouth. Just take it as if you didn''t hear it," Ye Yuan said.


    Li-er shook her head and said, "Yan-er is insensible. Although mister''s realm is not high, the level of your medicinal skills is seldom seen in Li-er''s lifetime! Li-er boldly asks Mister, does this spirit physique problem of mine has a solution?"


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "You really want to hear?"


    Li-er nodded and said, "This matter concerns life and death. I naturally want to listen."


    "But we''re barely acquaintances. Can you really trust me?"


    "Mister Ye is chivalrous. Li-er already cannot thank you enough in my heart, how can I not trust mister? If others see this face of mine, they would surely keep a respectful distance away. But Mister Ye risked death to come back alone and save me. It can be seen that Mister is righteous; somebody who can be trusted!" Li-er said.


    If it were some other youth, they would surely get carried away with pride upon hearing such praise. But Ye Yuan was very composed.


    When he did things, he only sought to be able to live with himself. As for whether Li-er, the master and servant pair were grateful, he did not really mind.


    Except, forget that Yan-er was ungrateful, she even made baseless conjectures about him. This inevitably infuriated him.


    But Li-er''s words had a kind of spring breeze and rain magic. It felt very pleasing to Ye Yuan''s ears when listening. That bit of displeasure from earlier also dissipated like a cloud.


    This made Ye Yuan sigh with admiration once again. It seemed like apart from her face was a little ugly, this Miss Li-er could be said to be perfect in other areas!


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Alright then. Since Miss Li-er trusts me, I''ll talk about it."


    Li-er gave a beautiful bow and said with a gentle smile, "Li-er thanks Mister Ye."


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "Don''t be in such a rush to give thanks. Honestly speaking, a rarely seen dual spirit physique like yours is really very troublesome! The importance of the divine soul to a person need not be explained. If your divine soul is completely torn into two parts, what awaits can only be death!"


    Talking about life and death, Li-er was not really visibly moved. She asked calmly, "Then in mister''s opinion, how long more can Li-er still live?"


    Ye Yuan assessed for a moment and said, "This would have to depend on the awakening speed of your Innate Battle Soul Physique. If it''s fast, then three to five years. If slow, then around ten years or so."


    Li-er was dazed. "Awakening?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right. The time that this symptom of yours appeared should be these past few years, right?"


    Li-er nodded and said, "Yes. Roughly around three years'' time."


    "Then that''s right! This Innate Battle Soul Physique is not immediately obtained right after birth, but awakens through post-natal triggers! Once it awakens, this kind of spirit physique will automatically start fusing the divine soul, all the way until the spirit and flesh becomes one! This spirit physique is extremely heaven-defying. During the process of spirit and flesh merging, the cultivation speed of the person possessing the spirit physique will become increasingly faster and will not have any bottlenecks all the way until prior to breaking through to the Deity Realm!" Ye Yuan explained.


    Li-er sucked in a deep breath and said, "That''s also to say, even if I stop cultivating right now, this Innate Battle Soul Physique will still rip my divine soul?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If you''re not of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique but of some other spirit physiques, this sort of spirit and flesh union will not have a big impact on you. But the cultivation of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique requires the aid of soul force at the same time. You''ve already been through so many years of cultivation. Your soul force is already fully acclimatized to the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique. Hence . . ."


    Li-er gave a bitter smile when she heard this and said, "To think that such a thing would actually happen to me. Then Mister Ye . . . can I still be saved?"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I have a method which might be able to resolve Miss Li-er''s danger. But honestly, there''s not much difference between saying it or not, because I can''t help you now."


    Li-er''s eyes dimmed, but she still said, "Mister Ye, please enlighten!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I know a type of divine soul mystic art when supplemented by a type of Tier 8 medicinal pill, can split the divine soul into two for individual cultivation! As long as Miss Li-ern can divide the divine soul into two and integrate a part of the divine soul into both eyes, the crisis of the spirit and flesh will naturally be easily resolved."


    Yan-er''s eyes lit up when she heard this. "Since that''s the case, can''t you just teach us the divine soul mystic art and pill formula?"


    Li-er''s eyes glared and finally said subtle anger, "Yan-er!"


    No matter whether it was the divine soul mystic art or the Tier 8 medicinal pill''s formula, they were exceedingly precious items. Yan-er asking for it like this was clearly committing a taboo.


    This sort of matter, even people on close terms would find it hard to ask, let alone that they were strangers.


    Yan-er''s tears splashed on the ground, and she actually kneeled in front of Ye Yuan with a loud smack, crying, "Mister Ye, Yan-er apologizes to you! Yan-er knows that this sort of request is very abrupt, but Miss is also someone with a bitter life! Yan-er really doesn''t wish to see her pass away like this! I beg you, show some pity and save her!"


    Seeing Yan-er like so, Li-er''s tears also involuntarily fell.


    Ye Yuan sighed and supported Yan-er up, saying, "Miss Yan-er need not do this. Towards saving people, I, Ye Yuan, would never decline. There''s no harm in passing you the divine soul mystic art and Tier 8 pill formula. It''s just that I''m afraid that even if I hand them to you, you girls won''t be able to refine the medicinal pill either. And without the medicinal pill, cultivating this sort of divine soul mystic art is overly dangerous."


    "How so? As long as we have the pill formula, can''t we refine the medicinal pill?" Yan-er thought that Ye Yuan was finding an excuse and was unwilling to surrender the divine soul mystic art and pill formula.


    Ye Yuan hesitated for a while, but finally still said, "Alright then. Since Miss Yan-er doesn''t believe me, then I''ll hand the divine soul mystic art and pill formula to you guys. But Miss Li-er, you must keep in mind, you absolutely cannot cultivate the divine soul mystic art if you can''t refine the pill!"

 Chapter 295: Slander!

    Chapter 295: Slander!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Li-er and Yan-er did not quite dare believe their own ears. Ye Yuan really handed it over just like this?


    This was a divine soul mystic art and Tier 8 pill formula!


    Even in the Divine Realm, these two items could make countless people go nuts. Ye Yuan handed it over so easily?


    "Mister Ye, you aren''t . . . joking with us, right?" Li-er asked disbelievingly.


    Ye Yuan also knew the weight of these two items. The other party having this reaction was also something reasonable.


    Without wasting his breath, Ye Yuan retrieved two blank jade slips and imprinted the divine soul mystic art and Tier 8 pill formula into these two jade slips.


    "Not that Ye Yuan doesn''t trust you two ladies, it''s just that this matter is way too risky for Ye Yuan. I''d like you two ladies to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, please. The origin of these two jade slips must not be known by a fourth person!"


    This was also within reason. Li-er and Yan-er each swore a heavenly dao oath, then Ye Yuan passed the jade slip to Li-er.


    Li-er held the two jade slips in her hands and stared at Ye Yuan woodenly. She still did not dare to believe that this was real up until now!


    Ye Yuan also sighed inwardly and thought to himself that this old weakness indeed resurfaced again!


    Ye Yuan never had much resistance towards this sort of thing like curing diseases and saving people.


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun frequently did this sort of thing. Those who came to his place to beg, as long as they were not some heinous criminals, he would strive to cure them.


    On the one hand, it was because of his doctor''s benevolence. On the other hand, it was because he found it hard to resist testing his skills.


    At Ji Qingyun''s realm, subjugating a type of complicated or rare illness was something that came with an immense sense of accomplishment. And his Alchemy Dao level also advanced during this process.


    In this life, Ye Yuan''s personality already underwent a humongous change. But no matter how he changed, Ye Yuan was still Ji Qingyun.


    This master and servant pair had pure hearts. They were clearly not some heinous individuals. Ye Yuan naturally could not resist testing his abilities too.


    Moreover, facing this ugly looking Li-er, not knowing why, Ye Yuan''s compassion grew even thicker.


    It was just that even if he gave the pill formula to Li-er, it was also impossible for her to refine the medicinal pill.


    This medicinal pill was not some street-side formula, but his, Ye Yuan''s, self-created pill formula. It was called Rain Dew Soul Immersion Pill. It could only be refined by harmonizing with his unique technique.


    Furthermore, this pill formula had an extremely rare core ingredient. Even in the Divine Realm, it was also exceedingly scarce.


    With Ye Yuan''s present condition, his heart was willing, but his strength was obviously lacking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The items are already handed over to Miss Li-er. This Ye still have urgent matters on hand, so I''ll take my leave first. Miss Li-er can consume more divine soul nourishing medicinal pills in the future. This way, it can delay the time of the eruption of the divine soul tearing. I left a divine soul imprint on this jade slip. In the future, if my strength is sufficient, I''ll naturally go and find Miss Li-er."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around left without any reluctance.


    Mere acquaintances, doing to this extent was already his limit.


    As for whether Li-er could wait until the day he grew up, that was not something that Ye Yuan could control.


    Ye Yuan could tell that these two person''s identity was likely extraordinary. Their family might have some connections with the Divine Realm.


    If it were an ordinary person, upon hearing the name Tier 8 medicinal pill, they would most likely be deterred and step back already.


    "Miss, why not let''s hurry back? Your ailment mustn''t be delayed!" After Ye Yuan left, Yan-er urged.


    But Li-er shook her head and said, "Going back is walking right into the trap. I''d rather die outside!"


    "But . . ."


    "No buts! Also, didn''t you hear Ye Yuan say earlier? The pill formula he gave, other people simply cannot refine it! I feel that what he said is true!" Li-er said.


    "Then what do we do now?"


    "Follow him."


    "Merely a little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, follow him for what?"


    Li-er shook his head and said, "This young man is not simple! A Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually knows the pill formula for a Tier 8 medicinal pill. Don''t you find it strange?"


    "Ah! Now that miss said it, that''s true! Just now, I was only concerned about your illness and forgot about this point! Speaking of which, this boy is really leaking bizarreness!"


    "He can see through my Moonlight Heavenly Eye with one glance, so his diagnosis should be pretty much on the mark. Such a level, even when placed in the Divine Realm, it''s hardly ever seen.


    Either way, we have nothing to do in this Endless World either. Why not take a look at what kind of mysterious person this Ye Yuan is," Li-er said.


    "Alright. Then I''ll listen to miss."


    Li-er nodded. "But be careful this time. Don''t divulge our whereabouts."


    Just like this, under a situation where he knew nothing about it, two little tails followed behind Ye Yuan.


    . . . . . .


    When Ye Yuan found Mei Zhen and the rest according to the coordinates, they already reached the entrance to the mystic realm.


    And at this time, the seven out of the Eight Great Sects had already arrived. Only the closest Heavenly Sky Sect had yet to arrive.


    Seeing Ye Yuan return safely, Mei Zhen also let out a sigh of relief.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, are you alright?" Mo Yuntian hurried asked.


    Ye Yuan felt warmth in his heart and said, "Already said that it''s to handle some minor affairs. Senior Apprentice Brother Mo need not worry."


    "Haha, it''s good that things are fine, it''s good! Oh, Ye Yuan, you rest first. After the Heavenly Sky Sect people reach, we can enter the mystic realm already." Seeing Ye Yuan return, Mei Zhen''s mood was evidently pretty good.


    Ye Yuan nodded and was just about to find a place to sit and rest when a group of people blocked his path.


    Not others, it was precisely the High Clarity Sect group!


    "Why did this brat only come over now? Where did he go just now?" The one speaking was Wang Fan. He interrogated Mei Zhen.


    Mei Zhen originally already nested a stomach full of anger. Seeing Wang Fan grilling him, he sneered coldly and said, "What? Do I still have to report to your High Clarity Sect when my Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples do anything?"


    Initially, the various great sects each occupied a place to rest. The other sects'' people immediately looked over when these two people faced off.


    When Wang Fan saw that Mei Zhen''s attitude was unyielding, he was even more displeased as he said, "Originally, you don''t need to report to us. But the Crow Orchid Ganoderma that my High Clarity Sect had just gotten vanished suddenly. I suspect that it was stolen by this disciple of yours!"


    Actually, Wang Fan naturally did not think that Ye Yuan was that mysterious person. He was taking this opportunity to find trouble.


    A duck that landed in his hands flew off. This made Wang Fan very pissed. He also just happened to see Ye Yuan being the last to return to his team earlier, so he obviously seized the chance to take action.


    His goal was very simple, which was to extort a little something from the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Even if they did not have something as precious as the Crow Orchid Ganoderma, they at least had to take out a Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb, right?


    It was just that he could never have imagined that the one who ruined the High Clarity Sect''s affairs was Ye Yuan himself!


    His wild flurry of sticks actually hit the perpetrator!


    Except, he was talking nonsense about the whatever Crow Orchid Ganoderma already being in his hands but was stolen by someone. This was splashing dirty water on the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Mei Zhen and the rest did not know what was going on either. But they knew that Ye Yuan definitely succeeded.


    But towards Wang Fan''s drivel, Mei Zhen refused to believe it even if he was beaten to death.


    "What utter rubbish! You open your eyes well and take a look, Ye Yuan he is only a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. Can he steal away something in front of the two of you mighty Sea Transformation Realm experts?"


    But Wang Fan laughed sinisterly and said, "It''s true that he''s a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, but who knows if he specializes in thieving techniques and only knows how to steal things? If that''s the case, then everybody needs to be careful!"

 Chapter 296: Senior Mountain Shaker

    Chapter 296: Senior Mountain Shaker


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s men knew the truth, but other sects'' members did not know the truth.


    Hearing Wang Fan said so, many people revealed wariness.


    This thieving technique, when cultivated to an extremely high realm, was similarly very terrifying. Crossing realm to steal other people''s belongings was not something challenging.


    "You! This is slander!" Mei Zhen was so enraged that he was shaking.


    Being incited by Wang Fan like this, Tranquil Cloud Sect might end up becoming a target for public censure. The risks of this trip would increase dramatically.


    "Slander? Then you explain to me, where did this Spirit Condensation Realm disciple of yours go to before this? When we bumped into each other earlier, he was still on your team. But after we arrived here, we didn''t see him the entire time!" Wang Fan snickered coldly.


    "He . . . he went to attend to some matters." Mei Zhen faltered, but still tried to defend it.


    "Attend to matters? Attend to what matters? Stealing things?" Wang Fan continued on the offensive.


    Mei Zhen was an experienced and prudent person, but he did not have the gift of gab.


    Being forced by Wang Fan at this time, but stammering and unable to say anything that appearance appeared even more like a guilty conscience.


    At this time, Ye Yuan came forward and clasped his hands at Wang Fang, saying, "May I ask this senior if the primary cultivation method in your High Clarity Sect is the Mountain Shaking Divine Skill?"


    Wang Fan was stunned. He immediately said disdainfully, "Ignorant! In this Southern Domain, who doesn''t know that my High Clarity Sect''s primary cultivation method is the High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law?"


    Ye Yuan had a regretful look as he said, "Like this huh, then that''s really a pity. Senior''s skin can even shake this Cloud Dream Mountain Range, yet such a divine skill actually isn''t your High Clarity Sect''s primary cultivation method?"


    "Hahaha . . ."


    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, everyone hugged their bellies and roared with laughter.


    Just now, Wang Fan said that Ye Yuan cultivated thieving skills. This time, Ye Yuan retorted that the High Clarity Sect''s skin was thick. This retaliation was really sharp.


    Everybody actually had some idea about the High Clarity Sect''s conduct. They were people who bullied the kind and feared the wicked ones.


    Bluntly saying, it was just shameless.


    This description of Ye Yuan''s was seriously too apt.


    Wang Fan''s face became as black as the bottom of a pot. He said in a low voice, "Brat, are you courting death? To actually dare defame my High Clarity Sect?"


    "Defame? As one of the Eight Great Sects, you guys actually committed highway robbery against two weak girls. That is already shameless enough. But you seemed to have failed in the end, or maybe you succeeded and want to reap more benefits. Regardless of what situation it is, your Mountain Shaking Divine Skill is indeed cultivated powerful enough. After entering the mystic realm, you got to hold it back a little. Don''t collapse the mystic realm too," Ye Yuan said leisurely.


    The other six great sects were currently looking over here. Hearing Ye Yuan said this, many people broke into a snigger.


    These elders and disciples were all astute people. Ye Yuan''s essence energy was profound and unadulterated. He was completely not somebody who walked an unorthodox path.


    Rather, it was the High Clarity Sect whose reputation had never been good. Who was right and who was wrong, everyone had a guess in their hearts.


    Wang Fan flew into a great rage when he heard that and said, "Good! Truly excellent! A tough bone came out from the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Today, I''ll help you loosen up your tendons and bones!"


    "Halt!" Wang Fan was just about to make his move when a voice transmitted over icily.


    Everyone turned around to look. Turned out that the Heavenly Sky Sect''s people came.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect was indeed deserving of the Southern Domain''s number one great faction. They sent nearly 20 people on this trip. Just the Sea Transformation Realm elders were as many as three!


    Such a lineup could be called extravagant on this occasion today!


    Li Zhangyu who went to the Tranquil Cloud Sect as an envoy previously was shockingly present in the Heavenly Sky Sect team.


    Li Zhangyu saw Ye Yuan who was currently facing off with Wang Fan right away and killing intent involuntarily surged.


    But the eight sects were gathered right now. This was precisely the time for the Heavenly Sky Sect to demonstrate the grace of a great sect. It was obviously not a good opportunity to make his move.


    Once he entered the mystic realm, he definitely had to kill Ye Yuan!


    After the incident previously, Ye Yuan had already become Li Zhangyu''s heartdemon!


    Once a heartdemon was born, it would have a tremendous impact on a martial artist''s cultivation.


    Although Li Zhangyu''s strength already recovered to its original standards after a period of recuperation, the difficulty of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm rose dramatically.


    Of course, Li Zhangyu''s talent was outstanding. Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm could not stump him. But the problem was that Li Zhangyu''s goal was the Soul Sea Realm!


    If he did not eliminate Ye Yuan and uproot this heartdemon, when he broke through to the Soul Sea Realm in the future, he would simply be unable to cross the heavenly tribulation!


    So no matter what, Ye Yuan had to die!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect group arrived in front of everyone in a mighty formation. One of the elders came forward and said, "Your two sects came to the Cloud Dream Mountain Range to explore the mystic realm. Now, you''re exhausting each other before entering the mystic realm. This doesn''t seem to be very good, right? Give this old man face, regardless of what grudges the High Clarity Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect have, wait until after this."


    This person was the Heavenly Sky Sect''s elder with the highest seniority on this trip. His name was Wu Zhao. That ''halt'' earlier was him yelling.


    Not that he wished to meddle in other people''s business, but because he did not want to see internal frictions before entering the mystic realm.


    Finding so many other sects'' elites over was to get cannon fodders. If there were deaths and casualties outside, wouldn''t there be fewer cannon fodders?


    That way, the dangers their sect disciples faced would increase drastically.


    Among the younger generation, the Heavenly Sky Sect''s disciples'' strength and potential were absolutely the greatest. As long as there were these cannon fodders, their Heavenly Sky Sect could obtain the greatest benefits in the mystic realm. How could they be allowed to have internal conflicts?


    When Wang Fan saw Wu Zhao, he instantly changed face and said with a radiant smile, "So, this trip for the Heavenly Sky Sect is under Brother Wu''s charge. Brother Wu''s face must obviously be given!"


    As he spoke, Wang Fan turned to Ye Yuan again and snorted coldly, saying, "Consider yourself lucky, punk! After we come out of the mystic realm, watch if I don''t shred that mouth of yours! En . . . but you''ll have to come out from inside first!"


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Then I have to thank Senior Mountain Shaker very much for showing mercy! I don''t know whether I can exit or not, but . . . Senior really might not make it out."


    Wang Fan did not take it seriously. He guffawed, "I wonder when such a razor tongue boy appeared in your Tranquil Cloud Sect! I rather hope that you can come out; otherwise, who do I find to vent this anger?"


    Wu Zhao looked at the unfathomable smile of Ye Yuan''s and was involuntarily shocked inwardly. Was it possible that this brat knew something?


    "Zhangyu, when you went to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, you didn''t say anything superfluous, right? Why do I feel like this boy seems to know something?" Wu Zhao transmitted his voice to Li Zhangyu.


    Li Zhangyu replied, "How is that possible? I followed Sect Master''s words to the letter in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    "En, maybe I''m too sensitive!" Wu Zhao responded.


    This mystic realm did not permit the existence of power exceeding the Crystal Formation Realm. This was also a secret that the Heavenly Sky Sect only became informed of by sacrificing an elder. How could the other sects possibly know?


    The Heavenly Sky Sect sacrificed a Sea Transformation Realm elder but did not wish for the other sects to have an easy time either. Hence, they concealed this information and induced the other sects to send out Sea Transformation Realm elders to follow.


    As long as these Sea Transformation Realm elders used strength exceeding Crystal Formation Realm inside, they would die without a burial ground!

 Chapter 297: Entering the Mystic Realm

    Chapter 297: Entering the Mystic Realm


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had malicious intentions but did not know that they were already seen through by Ye Yuan long ago.


    Luo Qingfeng already reminded Mei Zhen long since before they set off.


    "But . . . Elder Wu still needs to be a little wary of this boy. After entering the mystic realm, we must kill him as long as there''s a chance!" Li Zhangyu transmitted his voice to remind Wu Zhao.


    "En? That Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm boy? Oh, right, that''s the kid that made you suffer a huge loss? I don''t see anything special about him."


    Wu Zhao did not mind. Even if he could only exert the strength of peak Crystal Formation Realm, killing a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm was still too easy.


    "This boy is very bizarre. Once he''s given an opportunity, he will surely be an enormous threat to my Heavenly Sky Sect in the future! Elder Wu must take care not to treat him lightly!" Li Zhangyu forcefully pressed down the discontent in his heart and reminded once more.


    But Wu Zhao responded, "Say no more, Zhangyu. I know what to do. You''re Grand Elder Chi''s disciples. How can you be so intimidated by a little Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm?"


    Li Zhangyu was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart and did not speak anymore.


    He was young, but his status was not beneath Wu Zhao''s. Under such circumstances, there were many elders sucking up to him in the Heavenly Sky Sect and also many elders who envied him. This Wu Zhao clearly belonged to the latter.


    Looks like killing Ye Yuan could only be as the circumstances dictate.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan was also disinclined to dispute with Wang Fan any longer. As long as they entered the mystic realm, Wang Fan would be a dead man sooner or later.


    Seeing that the High Clarity Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect had temporarily ceased fire, Wu Zhao was also very pleased.


    "Today, my Heavenly Sky Sect invites everyone here to explore the mystic realm together. I hope that everybody can cross the river in the same boat and support each other! The dangers of this mystic realm were already made known to everyone in advance. Take care not to drop your guard. After entering the mystic realm, each of you can seek out natural treasures on your own. Any item that you get will belong to you. My Heavenly Sky Sect will not take a single thing!" WU Zhao said loudly to everyone.


    Once these words went out, there was an uproar in the crowd.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had always taken advantage of every opportunity to benefit themselves. Especially this time in their territory, many sects had already made preparations to have a cut taken by the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    But they also made up their minds that if the cut were too big, they would withdraw and not do this.


    Furthermore, this time was the Heavenly Sky Sect taking the initiative to invite them. Presumably, they would not go overboard, that was why they agreed to explore the mystic realm together this time.


    Nobody could have thought that the Heavenly Sky Sect actually did not want a single thing!


    "Elder Wu, you aren''t joking with us, right?" someone asked doubtfully.


    "Yeah, Elder Wu. Don''t talk flowery words now but renege after we exit."


    "Elder Wu, if you want to take a cut, make it clear early on. At least everyone will have an estimate in their hearts. Stirring up trouble like this makes us uneasy instead."


    Wu Zhao suddenly pointed to the skies and swore, "I, Wu Zhao, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath now, the exploration of the mystic realm this time, my Heavenly Sky Sect will not ask for a cut from the other sects after exiting. If I break this vow, may I die a horrible death!"


    This unexpected move from Wu Zhao left everyone completely shocked.


    What was this? Could it be that the Heavenly Sky Sect really had a change in personality?


    No matter what, Wu Zhao''s Heavenly Dao Oath was already sworn. The crowd naturally would not have any more doubts.


    Over on this side, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people were also very surprised.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, what do you think is with the Heavenly Sky Sect? Could they really have changed for the better?" Mo Yuntian transmitted.


    Ye Yuan snickered coldly and said, "Change for the better? How is that possible? That Elder Wu only said not to take a cut. He didn''t say not to take the other sect''s properties! As long as the other sects'' disciples are dead, they can naturally collect their storage rings. At that time, wouldn''t those things still be theirs?"


    "While they have many people, everybody''s risk will be the same after entering. How can they guarantee that they can obtain the greatest benefits in the end?"


    "You take a look at the people from the Heavenly Sky Sect this time, the worst also has Third Level or Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm cultivation! If such a force will also be in danger, then let alone the other sects! Furthermore, talking in terms of understanding towards this mystic realm, nobody knows more than them! If they still had no gains under such circumstances, then they would really be a bunch of pigs."


    "So, it''s actually like this! Doesn''t that mean that many of us from the seven great sects all became their stepping stones?"


    "En, roughly this reasoning."


    "Then we''re in peril this trip! Talking about strength, our Tranquil Cloud Sect is probably the weakest, right?" Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Mo Yuntian involuntarily wanted to back out.


    Not that he was afraid of death, but because he felt that dying this way was not worth it.


    Obviously aware that they dug a pit to bury you yet you still jump inside. That was not courage but stupidity.


    But Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Perhaps after we enter the mystic realm, we''ll become a great faction second only to the Heavenly Sky Sect!"


    "En? How goes?" Mo Yuntian asked puzzledly.


    "Hur hur, don''t ask anymore, Senior Apprentice Brother. You''ll naturally know after entering the mystic realm," Ye Yuan said with a beam.


    Not that Ye Yuan was trying to be mysterious, but he was afraid of frightening Mo Yuntian until he gave himself away.


    Presently, the Eight Great Sects had over a dozen Sea Transformation Realm experts. After entering the mystic realm, it would be pretty decent if there were half left.


    Telling this sort of thing to Mo Yuntian would definitely make him jump in fright.


    The more people there were, the more tongues there would be. Luo Qingfeng only told Mei Zhen this matter and did not tell a single one of the Crystal Formation Realm disciples. It was also pointless if they knew.


    "Alright, since nobody has any objections, then let''s start entering the mystic realm!" Wu Zhao said loudly.


    At this time, a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse came out from the Heavenly Sky Sect and took out some middle-grade essence crystals and started arranging them at the entrance of the mystic realm.


    The entrances to mystic realms were mostly not very stable. They had to be reinforced through array formations, or else it would be very easy to be swept away into turbulent spatial currents.


    This Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse was evidently a Heavenly Sky Sect''s array formations master.


    Before long, another light door appeared at the mystic realm entrance.


    "Everyone, to show our sincerity, my Heavenly Sky Sect will enter the mystic realm first!"


    When Wu Zhao finished talking, he directly brought the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples and vanished from the light door, entering the mystic realm.


    With the Heavenly Sky Sect leading the way, the other sects would not hold back anymore either. They scrambled over each other to enter the mystic realm.


    Mei Zhen was not in a hurry. He waited for the other sects to enter one by one.


    When Wang Fan was passing by this side, he looked at Ye Yuan and said cockily, "Brat, start praying now! Pray that you don''t bump into me inside! Hahaha . . . !"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and could not care less about him.


    Only after the other sects entered the mystic realm did Mei Zhen turn to the group of disciples and said, "The Heavenly Sky Sect''s actions this time is seriously abnormal. Everybody take precaution after entering the mystic realm and try your best not to split up, understood?"


    "Understood!" the group of disciples nodded and shouted.


    "Okay, let''s go in!" Mei Zhen took the helm, and the others also followed one by one.


    But Ye Yuan intentionally ended up as the last one. Looking at those essence crystals at the mystic realm''s entrance, he smiled slightly and went forward to casually move it around a little before entering the light door.


    After Ye Yuan left, another two figures appeared in front of the light door.


    "Miss, this Ye Yuan is indeed very strange! The array formation set up by a Quasi-Tier 4 array formations master, but he casually altered it and seized control. We can''t enter through this light door anymore!" Yan-er said in amazement.


    Li-er smiled and said, "When he rescued us, didn''t he also casually lay an entrapment formation? This Ye Yuan''s origins is surely out of the ordinary! Come, let''s follow in to take a look."


    Finished talking, Li-er''s gaze flickered, and another light door actually opened up!


    It was shockingly easy!

 Chapter 298: Sea of Flowers

    Chapter 298: Sea of Flowers


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Such rich essence energy! If one can cultivate inside here, one will surely yield twice the result with half the effort!"


    When Ye Yuan entered the mystic realm, he heard waves of exclamations and astonishment.


    This mystic realm''s essence energy thickness was exceptionally high, most likely multiple times of the outside world. Cultivating in here could indeed achieve the effect of twice the result with half the effort.


    But the problem was, who dared to cultivate in here?


    However, under such rich essence energy, it was also within reason for the mystic realm to produce even more natural treasures.


    "Alright, everyone has already entered the mystic realm. Now, let''s all set off on our own. I wish everyone good luck!" Wu Zhao shouted loudly.


    Although he said this, he did not have any intention of moving.


    Right then, somebody suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Quickly look! There are actually layers upon layers of Orchid Heart Flower! That is an exceedingly rare Tier 2 medicinal herb! There are actually so many here! Quickly go harvest! However many we can get counts!"


    Everybody traced the direction his finger pointed at and looked over. Indeed, they saw a large sea of flowers.


    "Haha, we''re rich! This mystic realm is indeed extraordinary! There is actually such a large stretch of Orchid Heart Flowers in the outer regions!"


    "The Heavenly Sky Sect really didn''t lie! This mystic realm is truly lined with treasures everywhere!"


    Obtaining such a great benefit right after entering the mystic realm, everybody''s spirits naturally roused. Many people already started thanking the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Those with quicker reactions already sprinted over there frantically.


    Although this Orchid Heart Flower was a Tier 2 medicinal herb, it was exceedingly rare in the outside world, belonging to those incredibly valuable medicinal herbs. They were scarce resources to the various great sects.


    Seeing so many Orchid Heart Flowers, the crowd obviously could not resist wanting to harvest more.


    Mo Yuntian hastily said to Mei Zhen upon seeing the situation, "Martial Uncle, let''s hurry over too. Otherwise, it will all be snatched finished by them!"


    The Eight Great Sects added up to about a hundred people. Though that sea of flowers was large, it could not weather so many people harvesting either.


    Mei Zhen nodded and was just about to speak when he was stopped by Ye Yuan. "Don''t be anxious, Senior Apprentice Brother. Let''s wait and see first!"


    How could Mo Yuntian not be anxious? He urged, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye! This Orchid Heart Flower is a Tier 2 medicinal herb that the sect is in a huge shortage of! It''s of utmost importance to us! If we don''t move, then it will have nothing to do with us anymore!"


    But Ye Yuan smiled leisurely and said, "What''s the hurry for? Take a look, Senior Apprentice Brother, didn''t the Heavenly Sky Sect not move too?"


    Mo Yuntian was stunned and looked over at the Heavenly Sky Sect''s side. Indeed, none of them over there moved.


    Mo Yuntian''s heart plunged and instinctively sensed that someone bad was about to happen.


    "AHHH . . . !"


    Right then, a miserable cry sounded.


    Immediately following were several more tragic cries!


    Everyone was shocked currently, their gazes looking over in the direction of the sea of flowers.


    Turns out that there were already several people who ran into the sea of flowers and started harvesting Orchid Heart Flowers.


    Except, those earliest few who entered the sea of flowers currently all turned black. It was clearly the look of being inflicted by deadly poison!


    Those few people directly collapsed in the sea of flowers and rolled around endlessly, looking very anguished. It was apparent that they could not survive.


    The large group who were originally sprinting there frantically were frightened until they hurriedly stopped their footsteps when they saw how hideous those few people looked now.


    "This . . . What''s going on?"


    "What happened to those people? Isn''t this the Orchid Heart Flower? Why does it seem to contained deadly poison?"


    "Luckily I ran a little slower just now. If I were slightly faster, I''d definitely end up like them."


    There were people shocked and people scared. When they crowd watched the few people struggling in the sea of flowers, they all felt a chill down their spines.


    This poison was too horrifying. Those few people were all Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, but they got poisoned before they could even react.


    The struggles of those few in the sea of flowers gradually grew weaker. Finally, there was no more sound. Everyone''s comments also gradually died down.


    They only realized now that this mystic realm was not as simple as they imagined!


    Many people were only shocked awake now why the Heavenly Sky Sect wanted to find them to explore the mystic realm together!


    If this mystic realm was filled with treasures everywhere, would they still get to come and explore?


    When the group saw such a large sea of flowers earlier, they immediately tossed danger to the back of their minds and nearly perished.


    Greed was human nature. Plus, they did not have sufficient understanding of this mystic realm''s dangers, which was why they made such a low-level mistake!


    Over on this side, the Tranquil Cloud Sect people were also shaking in fear after the event when they saw this situation.


    If it were not for Ye Yuan just now, they would probably have rushed over thoughtlessly.


    This poison was clearly very powerful. Those few were all Crystal Formation Realm martial artist but died in a few breaths of time. Even if Mei Zhen was inflicted, he might not be able to retreat unscathed.


    "Ye Yuan, fortunately, there was you just now holding us back. Otherwise, we would likely have fallen victim to it too!" Mo Yuntian said with lingering fear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I saw that nobody from the Heavenly Sky Sect moved and guessed that there was some problem, that''s why I made you guys wait and see first. I didn''t think that a problem would really occur."


    Mo Yuntian silently felt ashamed. As everyone''s senior brother but without half of Ye Yuan''s focus, it was seriously quite shameful.


    Actually, Mo Yuntian was over thinking. Facing such a large stretch of Orchid Heart Flowers Sea, not many could keep their cool. Or else, they would not have dashed forward just now without anyone paying attention to Heavenly Sky Sect''s side.


    Moreover, the reason why the Heavenly Sky Sect did not move was clearly that they also suffered a loss before.


    Even if the Heavenly Sky Sect had many Crystal Formation Realm and Sea Transformation Realm experts, it was impossible for them not to be moved by a scarce medicinal herb like the Orchid Heart Flower.


    As for Ye Yuan, he saw that sea of flowers right after entering. Even if he did not see the Heavenly Sky Sect''s movements, he would not let his seniors go and pick those flowers either.


    Ye Yuan did not even need to move closer to observe, just by sniffing the scent in the air, he already knew that this sea of flowers was simply not Orchid Heart Flowers!


    Those flowers in the sea of flowers were the Mantu Flower which was extremely similar to the Orchid Heart Flower!


    The Mantu Flower was virtually the same as the Orchid Heart Flower. Furthermore, the fragrance it gave off was practically the same, but Ye Yuan could differentiate the minute differences within.


    The flower scent given off by the Mantu Flower had an extremely faint blood stench. It was just that the flower fragrance was enchanting. Ordinary people found it very hard to tell this sort of extremely minute differences.


    But in reality, the Mantu Flower used precisely this kind of method to attract humans to harvest it, poisoning them from there!


    Once humans succumbed to the poison and died, they would become the Mantu Flower''s fertilizer, nourishing the Mantu Flower!


    But most likely nobody here recognized the Mantu Flower. These people died bizarrely too, and no one knew what happened.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to be eye-catching, so he did not explain much. He just used the Heavenly Sky Sect as a shield.


    Mei Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Those fellows definitely knew that there was something shady but did not make a sound. They were waiting for people to be poisoned! Earlier, the few great sects practically all had somebody who succumbed to it. This fulfilled their wishes!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t the Heavenly Sky Sect get the other seven great sects to come for the purpose of finding more cannon fodders?"


    The other great sects'' elders only came around now. They ran in front of Wu Zhao and admonished, "Elder Wu, why didn''t anyone from your Heavenly Sky Sect move? Were you all already aware that these Orchid Heart Flowers have some problem?"

 Chapter 299: Reversing the Roles of Host and Guest!

    Chapter 299: Reversing the Roles of Host and Guest!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The sect elders were all burning with righteous indignation. They felt like they had fallen into a pit.


    Sustaining heavy casualties before the exploration of the mystic realm even began, the sect elders clearly could not quite accept it.


    When Wu Zhao saw several sects lose men, he secretly felt pleased. But he looked aggrieved as he said, "By heaven and hell, this Wu really didn''t know that this sea of Orchid Heart Flowers actually had such deadly poison! It''s just that my Heavenly Sky Sect has vast territory and abundant resources and we''re not lacking this bit of Orchid Heart Flowers, that''s why we were thinking of letting everyone go first. Who knew that this would happen?"


    "Humph! Stop pretending, Elder Wu! Only your Heavenly Sky Sect has come in here before, how can you possibly be oblivious?" an elder said furiously.


    Wu Zhao maintained an aggrieved look and said, "It isn''t just my Heavenly Sky Sect''s group that didn''t move here, the Tranquil Cloud Sect didn''t move too. Why does everyone come and interrogate my Heavenly Sky Sect?"


    When Wu Zhao said this, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group felt their hearts chill. He was trying to redirect the disaster!


    Indeed, those elders immediately turned their gun barrels!


    They were all wily foxes and knew that Wu Zhao was deliberately putting on a show here. But the Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful, so they obviously had to find a soft persimmon to knead!


    They had to find a channel to vent right? Then wasn''t the Tranquil Cloud Sect perfect?


    When Wang Fan saw the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he instantly became full of enthusiasm. He went forward and grilled them. "Mei Zhen, are you going to give us an explanation?"


    How could Mei Zhen not know what these people were thinking? His face darkened, and he said, "What explanation do you want? I wasn''t the one who made you all go harvest the Orchid Heart Flowers either. Now that something happened, can my Tranquil Cloud Sect be blamed for it? The Heavenly Sky Sect is the only sect who came in here before. You don''t go find them but come to find trouble with us instead, what''s the reasoning?"


    Wang Fan sneered coldly and said, "You can''t say it that way! The Heavenly Sky Sect has vast territory and abundant resources, your Tranquil Cloud Sect can''t also have vast territories and abundant resources too, right? Could it be that you guys aren''t lacking Orchid Heart Flowers? But you people didn''t make a move. Could there be no reason in between all this? Or perhaps you guys already secretly colluded with the Heavenly Sky Sect?"


    When Wang Fan said this, the other sects'' elders'' faces changed!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect was already formidable enough. If they add in a Tranquil Cloud Sect, swallowing up the other sects was something sooner or later!


    Although the Tranquil Cloud Sect was very weak, which one of the Eight Great Sects did not have any trumps cards? If they threw their lot in with the Heavenly Sky Sect, then the Southern Domain''s terrain would be hard to say!


    Mei Zhen panicked when he saw the situation and pointed at Wang Fan, saying, "Wang Fan, don''t slander people!"


    Wang Fan snorted coldly and said, "Slander people? If it''s not like this, you guys should have at least reminded us to not go over, right? Now, only you guys and the Heavenly Sky Sect are perfectly fine, how can this not make people suspicious?"


    Mei Zhen was so nervous that his forehead was matted with sweat and he felt like he could not explain this even with a hundred mouths.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s strength was originally weak. If they faced off with several great sects at the same time, then there was only death!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s strategy to sow discord was executed really viciously!


    "Senior Mountain Shaker, why did you come out again? Talking so much crap, isn''t it all your baseless speculations? You guys were greedy and suffered a loss when you went to harvest the Orchid Heart Flowers, but turn around now to blame others. Where''s the reasoning?" at this time, Ye Yuan came forward to say.


    When he said ''Senior Mountain Shaker,'' everybody simmered with laughter.


    But under such circumstances, they should not laugh. Each one of them was very uncomfortable holding it back.


    Wang Fan was so angry that he was huffing and glaring. He said in a great rage, "Honorable Nephew, looks like your Tranquil Cloud Sect is resolved to break away from us other six sects!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Senior Mountain Shaker, your Mountain Shaking Divine Skill is already cultivated to the acme of perfection! Since when can Senior Mountain Shaker alone represent the six sects? Forget about six sects, can you represent the High Clarity Sect?"


    "You!" Wang Fan could not help choking up.


    Did he dare to say represent? He was only some unimportant elder in the High Clarity Sect. How could he represent the High Clarity Sect''s opinion?


    "What about me? He''s sowing discord so obviously, and you can''t even see it; are you a pig? Or are you already bought over by the Heavenly Sky Sect to deliberately stir up hostility between us six sects?" Ye Yuan retorted, hitting the mark with each word.


    Mo Yuntian''s eyes lit up when he heard it. What a marvelous reversing the roles of host and guest!


    Just now, Wang Fan said that the Tranquil Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sky Sect were colluding. Now, Ye Yuan countered that Wang Fan was bribed by the Heavenly Sky Sect, reversing the situation in an instant!


    Regardless whether the other sects believed Ye Yuan''s words or not, they would not take any rash actions.


    "You! You''re maligning me!" It was Wang Fan''s turn to want to cough blood this time.


    But Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Senior Mountain Shaker, save it! In this mystic realm, the situation is incredibly delicate. Don''t become a tool for others! Properly seeking out natural treasures and leaving alive are the kingly way!"


    His words were clearly for Wang Fan to listen, but in reality, it was said for the other elders to hear.


    When the sect elders heard Ye Yuan''s words, they also calmed down.


    Now, inside the mystic realm, the Heavenly Sky Sect''s strength was undoubtedly the greatest. But their strength had limits.


    It was precisely because of this that everyone lowered their guard.


    But in truth, the Heavenly Sky Sect had advantages that other sects did not. If they became cannon fodders, they would lose more than they gain in the end.


    Each sect only had ten plus people now. Once they clashed, nobody would gain any advantage. Instead, it would benefit others.


    Not only Wang Fan, but the rest of them also could not represent their respective sects too!


    The goal of coming to this mystic realm was to bring back more natural treasures.


    The most important matter on hand was not to scheme but to preserve their strength to search for natural treasures!


    Ye Yuan''s words roused them from their sleep. These elders'' enmity also became much weaker.


    As for what happened here, they would report to the sect''s upper echelons after leaving. The higher ups would naturally make a decision.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect people had been watching the activities over here the entire time. When Wu Zhao saw that Ye Yuan resolved the crisis with just a few words, his face involuntarily fell.


    Although this boy''s realm isn''t high, his thoughts are very deep. His grasp of the situation is also very on point! Looks like what Zhangyu said was right; this boy really can''t be underestimated! En, I''ll just find a chance later on and kill him! Wu Zhao thought to himself.


    As for those words over there about colluding with the Heavenly Sky Sect, Wu Zhao did not mind in the slightest.


    The seven great sect masters were all wise people. As long as the Heavenly Sky Sect existed for a day, they would not be foolish enough to tear at each other. That would only benefit the Heavenly Sky Sect!


    "Alright, let''s go first." Seeing that there were no opportunities to take advantage of, Wu Zhao brought the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples and left first.


    The other elders also came around, and each brought their members to set off.


    But after this sea of flowers incident, the elders also had sufficient understanding of this mystic realm''s perils. They obviously would not dare to drop their guard again.


    Wang Fan shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare again and said, "Brat, you''d best pray that you don''t end up in my hands! Humph! Let''s go!"


    Finished talking, Wang Fan directly led a group of High Clarity Sect disciples and left.


    Mei Zhen also let out a long sigh. He said to Ye Yuan, "Oh, Ye Yuan, all thanks to you for getting us out of a fix this time. Otherwise, we would have suffered an undeserved calamity!"


    Ye Yuan smiled. Waving his hands, he said, "Nothing much. This is what I should do."


    Mei Zhen nodded and said, "Let''s go too."


    "Wait a minute!" Ye Yuan called out to stop him.

 Chapter 300: Harvesting Flowers

    Chapter 300: Harvesting Flowers


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Is there anything else, Ye Yuan? The other sects are already long gone!" Mei Zhen reminded.


    There were about a hundred people from the Eight Great Sects, neither too many nor too few in this mystic realm. Leaving later would mean having the good stuff taken away by others.


    Regarding Ye Yuan, Mei Zhen could not very well issue a command directly. He could only adviced in a roundabout manner.


    Ye Yuan said, "Rest assured, Elder Mei. Although there is a lot of good stuff in this mystic realm, it probably won''t be so easy to obtain. Reaching first doesn''t mean definitely obtaining first. Otherwise, the Heavenly Sky Sect would not have spent so much trouble to invite us over. Rather, since the other sects already left now, we can harvest the flowers at ease."


    When Ye Yuan said this, everyone jumped in fright.


    The toxicity of this sea of flowers was very strong. Everybody witnessed it with their own eyes just now. Now, Ye Yuan actually wanted to go harvest the flowers?


    "Stop kidding, Ye Yuan! That sea of flowers probably has thousands of Orchid Heart Flowers. The strength of the poison is something that even Crystal Formation Realms cannot withstand. You also saw those people earlier yet you still want to harvest the flowers. Isn''t this complaining that your lifespan is too long?" Mei Zhen said.


    That scene earlier was truly too shocking, leaving everyone with a lingering fear in their hearts even up till now.


    Towards this sea of flowers, everybody''s attitude was in accord; to keep a respectful distance away.


    Hence, upon hearing that Ye Yuan wanted to enter the sea of flowers to harvest flowers, Mei Zhen nearly jumped up.


    "These flowers are not Orchid Heart Flowers, but Mantu Flowers. This Mantu Flower''s outer appearance is extremely alike the Orchid Heart Flower, but it''s a highly toxic entity. Furthermore, the sea of Mantu Flowers grows together. This will have a superimposing effect on the poison, practically reaching Quasi-Tier 4 level. That''s why those people died upon contact," Ye Yuan explained.


    "Mantu Flower? Really never heard of it before! But since the toxicity is so powerful, then even more so you mustn''t go over!" Mo Yuntian said.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How can one return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain?"


    "Treasure mountain? What kind of treasure mountain is a bunch of poisonous objects?" Mo Yuntian asked doubtfully.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You''re uninformed of this Mantu Flower''s origins, that''s why you say so. This Mantu Flower is originally a poisonous item. Furthermore, its appearance also greatly differs from the Orchid Heart Flower. We see that the Mantu Flower looks exactly the same as Orchid Heart Flowers because it was formed through grafting."


    "Grafting?" Everyone said in surprise.


    "That''s right. After the Mantu Flower matures, cut off everything above the rhizome completely, then graft the Orchid Heart Flower on it. Then it becomes the current Mantu Flowers. In reality, it should be called Mantu Orchid Heart Flowers," Ye Yuan explained.


    "No way, right? Such a precious Tier 2 medicinal herb like the Orchid Heart Flower was actually used in grafting to become Mantu Flower. Isn''t it too much of a waste of God''s gift? It''s really too bad." Tian Yu could not help letting out an emotional sigh.


    He grew up by Skymaple''s side since young and was much more familiar with all kinds of medicinal herbs compared to other people. The preciousness of Orchid Heart Flowers was such that even the Heavenly Sky Sect would not regard it as unimportant, let alone the Tranquil Cloud Sect which was short on resources to begin with.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing to be sad about. The reason why this was done is naturally that there is a greater justification."


    "What reason? So many Orchid Heart Flowers, if we bring them all back, it''s enough to raise the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists'' strength collectively by a whole stage. But now . . . able to look but unable to eat. Such heartache!" Tian Yu sighed.


    "The rank of a medicinal herb is fixed. But under certain special environments, it can advance. No matter how precious the Orchid Heart Flower is, it''s also just a Tier 2 medicinal herb. It has profound meaning to Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, but to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, it''s of somewhat little value."


    "Ye Yuan, you mean to say . . . the reason for grafting this Mantu Flower is to let the Orchid Heart Flower evolve?" Mo Yuntian''s eyes became wide saucers as he asked in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "That''s right! The Orchid Heart Flower is an extremely pure and nourishing medicinal herb. Even if a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist swallowed an Orchid Heart Flower raw, it would have huge benefits towards cultivation. But to nurture Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers, it has to be in a highly toxic environment instead! After the Mantu Flower is grafted over by the Orchid Heart Flower, it converts the Orchid Heart Flower into an entity with even deadlier poison. But this toxicity can spur the true Orchid Heart Flower''s evolution!"


    Tian Yu asked in surprise when he heard this, "There''s actually such a miraculous technique in this world?"


    This grafting technique was not considered miraculous in the Divine Realm. Each major faction would have some of their own unique breeding methods.


    But in the Endless World, this was an extremely phenomenal technique.


    In Tian Yu''s mind, the ranks of medicinal herbs were all fixed. He had never heard of being able to evolve.


    Ye Yuan said, "Doesn''t count as miraculous. It''s just a problem of knowing it or not."


    "Then doesn''t that mean that there are Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers in this sea of flowers?" Mei Zhen said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s why I said that we can harvest flowers in peace after they left."


    "But this sea of flowers is so huge. Moreover, it''s all highly toxic, dying upon contact. How should we harvest?" Mei Zhen said with a frown.


    Even if they knew that there were treasures in the sea of flowers, it was futile if they could not go in!


    They had already witnessed the prowess of the Mantu Flower poison. They did not wish to risk their lives.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Very simple, just burn them all with fire!"


    "B-burn them? But the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers are inside too. What if the fire burns them all down? Furthermore . . . how to burn them? Ordinary fires cannot destroy Tier 2 medicinal herbs by burning," Mei Zhen said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone, follow me!"


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan headed straight for the sea of flowers. Everybody held suspicions in their hearts but still followed.


    Ye Yuan came to the borders of the sea of flowers, and with a flick of his hand, a pale yellow flame appeared.


    "Hiss . . . Essence fire! That . . . Is that Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame? H-How is that possible? You''re only at the Spirit Condensation Realm, how can you have a Tier 4 essence fire?" Mei Zhen cried out in shock.


    Ye Yuan gave a simple explanation, leaving the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples unbelievably envious.


    Tian Yu looked at the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame dancing in Ye Yuan''s palm and only knew now that Ye Yuan did not even go all out during the grand competition!


    If the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame were unleashed, without needing to unleash its full power, he would not be able to escape death too.


    Only to see Ye Yuan lightly thrust his palm forward. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame vanished with a swoosh.


    Immediately after, they saw the sea of flowers igniting area by area.


    "Ye Yuan, this . . . this is a Tier 4 essence fire! Wouldn''t the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers be burned down with you burning like this?" Mei Zhen asked with a frown.


    "Rest assured, Elder Mei Zhen. Just look on, and you''ll see. This sea of flowers have roughly three thousand plus Mantu Flowers, and nurturing one Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower requires the expenditure of 100 Mantu Flowers. That''s also to say that there are roughly more than 30 Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers in this sea of flowers. We won''t bring even one less away!" Ye Yuan said assuredly.


    Mei Zhen was half-believing, half-doubting. But he still waited patiently.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was extremely powerful. It quickly burnt this sea of flowers into nothing, not even leaving residue behind!


    When everyone focused their eyes over there, they indeed saw that there were a sparse number of plants left in the sea of flowers!


    Ye Yuan went forward and directly harvested five Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers. He turned around and said to Mei Zhen, "These Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers are useful to me, so I''ll take five. Elder Mei, please take the rest back to the sect."

 Chapter 301: Encounter on a Narrow Path

    Chapter 301: Encounter on a Narrow Path


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Mei Zhen looked at those stalks of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers and involuntarily frowned, showing a pondering look.


    "Elder Mei, if we didn''t have Ye Yuan, we wouldn''t even have gotten a single stalk of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower. He only took five stalks which isn''t considered much," Mo Yuntian saw Mei Zhen frown and hastily went up to say.


    Mei Zhen was stupefied, then smiled bitterly and said, "Where did that come from, Yuntian? I''m not grumbling that Ye Yuan got too many, but because I feel that it''s too little. It''s just that I can''t really make a decision on this, that''s why I hesitated."


    When he finished speaking, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, "How about this, I''ll keep the rest of the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers first. After returning, I''ll report to Sect Master about today''s events and request him to give you some more stalks."


    But Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "No need. Five stalks are enough. Quickly harvest them, Elder Mei; we should set off already."


    With Ye Yuan saying this, Mei Zhen continuing to insist appeared rather corny. He could only put away the remainder Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers.


    This Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower was a core ingredient in a Tier 3 cultivation medicinal pill, the Essence Stabilizing Pill. Five stalks of Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers were enough to refine a hundred pills to Ye Yuan. It was plenty to use in the short-term.


    Only after gathering the Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers did the Tranquil Cloud Sect group start advancing towards the depths of the mystic realm.


    Having gone through the Mantu Flower Sea incident, the group did not dare to lower their guard again. They were on high alert the entire way. Fortunately, nothing major happened.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan''s discerning eyes that discovered pearls. He even obtained some rather rare Tier 2 medicinal herbs along the way.


    But ever since the Orchid Heart Flower Sea, they did not encounter any more Tier 3 medicinal herbs.


    On the way, Ti Wujiu who was silent the whole time suddenly asked Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you previously said that this Mantu Flower is a grafting object. Doesn''t this mean that that sea of flowers has an owner? Could it be that this mystic realm . . ."


    With Ti Wujiu saying this, all of them include Mei Zhen was stunned speechless!


    Using Mantu Flowers to breed Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers, this was a huge expenditure! And this was even still the outer-most boundary of the mystic realm.


    Li Zhangyu also said that there were even many Tier 4 medicinal herbs in this mystic realm!


    If this mystic realm really had an owner, then everyone would be in danger. A faction that could create such a spectacle was likely even more powerful than the Heavenly Sky Sect!


    Previously when everybody was listening to Ye Yuan talk about this Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flower, their minds were in a state of shock, resulting in them overlooking this issue.


    Thinking about it now, the group could not stop breaking out in cold sweat.


    Could such a powerful influence actually be hidden in this Southern Domain territory?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu''s thinking is indeed meticulous. This place indeed had a master in the past! However, that should be something a long time ago."


    Listening to the first half of Ye Yuan''s sentence, everybody''s heart involuntarily jumped. They only relaxed after hearing the second half.


    Except, this strong contrast unwittingly left everyone feeling out of breath.


    "How do you know, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye?" Ti Wujiu enquired.


    "After ranked medicinal herbs absorb sufficient essence energy, they will reach a level of saturation. The essence energy in this place is abundant, that''s why it can sustain the medicinal herbs'' state of maturity. But those familiar with medicinal herbs can tell the difference in the herbs'' age. These Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers probably has the age of several thousand years already. If this place had an owner, it''s impossible to leave these Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers unchecked to fall into disuse for such a long time," Ye Yuan explained.


    Ye Yuan''s degree of familiarity towards medicinal herbs was hard to imagine by everyone. He only had to observe slightly to be able to tell the age of these Tier 3 Orchid Heart Flowers. That was why he was so certain.


    "Moreover, this place has clearly been deserted for a long time. It''s overgrown with all sorts of weed, and demonic beasts run wild. It''s absolutely not a land with a master. If my conjectures are correct, this place might be some sect''s medicinal garden back then. It''s just that who knows what kind of accident befall the sect, resulting in it being deserted like this. This sect should be much more powerful than the present Heavenly Sky Sect!" Ye Yuan uttered his own conjectures.


    Mei Zhen and the rest nodded their heads quietly when they heard it. This analysis was perfectly logical and reasonable, and it also dispelled their apprehension.


    Ever since entering the mystic realm, unknowingly, everyone had already regarded Ye Yuan as the backbone.


    When encountering anything, the first thing they thought of was not to seek advice from Mei Zhen but to ask Ye Yuan.


    But the strange thing was that nobody felt that this was inappropriate, including Mei Zhen himself.


    . . . . . .


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect group did not move quickly.


    After two days, they arrived at a dense forest.


    "Quickly look! Isn''t that a Tier 4 medicinal herb, the Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruit?" a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple cried out in surprise when he saw the bright red fruit not far away.


    Tier 4 medicinal herbs belonged to items of strategic significance to the major sects in the Southern Domain! Even the Heavenly Sky Sect would also have bloodshot eyes when seeing Tier 4 medicinal herbs.


    Previously, Skymaple practically expended all of Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Tier 4 medicinal herbs in order to refine the Seven Profound Soul Driving Pill. This was also the reason why the pressure on him was enormous like a mountain.


    Seeing the Tier 4 medicinal herb currently, it was hard for the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples to not feel agitated.


    That disciple was about to pluck it while talking when he was held back by Ye Yuan.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, don''t go over!" Ye Yuan said gravely.


    "What?" Senior Apprentice Brother Pang froze and involuntarily broke into a cold sweat.


    On the way, under Ye Yuan''s lead, they had already avoided several certain death scenarios!


    So upon seeing Ye Yuan stop him, Senior Apprentice Brother Pang instantly realized his recklessness as cold sweat poured unceasingly.


    This mystic realm was indeed just as the Heavenly Sky Sect said, there were natural treasures everywhere. But to want to obtain these natural treasures, one had to pay the price in blood!


    These two days, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group also encountered many Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs along the way. But not one of these medicinal herbs'' surroundings was not abnormally dangerous!


    Even for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, a moment of carelessness would result in death at the scene!


    But Ye Yuan lead everyone time and time again, avoiding the dangers. So up until now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not lose a single man!


    In the beginning, they were still somewhat disapproving of Ye Yuan stopping everyone from harvesting the medicinal herbs.


    Ye Yuan even utilized the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus avatar body because of this to probe multiple times. But the results made everybody''s hair stand on its ends.


    After several times, everyone knew just how great the significance of Ye Yuan''s existence was!


    If they did not have Ye Yuan, they would probably have to lose half their forces in just these two days. This would be an unbearable blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Ye Yuan was extremely familiar with these medicinal herbs'' characteristics. Some medicinal herbs had accompanying beasts, some had accompanying toxic entities. One careless move and they would succumb to it.


    When Senior Apprentice Brother Pan got excited seeing the Tier 4 medicinal herb just now, he almost forgot the dangers previously and threw himself headfirst.


    "Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruits have a type of accompanying demonic beasts called Seven-Colored Poison Spider. Its toxicity is extremely ferocious! Furthermore, the poison spider''s size is very small, exceedingly difficult to detect. If one were carelessly bitten by it, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would perish from the eruption of the poison within several breaths of time!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Senior Apprentice Brother Pan sucked in a cold breath. Cold sweat started pouring once more uncontrollably.


    "Who''s there?!" Right then, Mei Zhen suddenly roared.


    "This brat is indeed quite abnormal, to actually even know about this poison spider! Eh? You guys actually haven''t lost a single man until now. Looks like it''s all due to this boy''s credit! Heh heh, I already said before, boy, don''t bump into me in the mystic realm!"


    "Wang Fan!" Several silhouettes appeared from the neighboring forest.


    When Mei Zhen saw people coming, his brows involuntarily knitted together.

 Chapter 302: Pushing Too Far

    Chapter 302: Pushing Too Far


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Wang Fan and Yu Feng brought the High Clarity Sect group out of the dense forest, their faces showing amusement like they had the Tranquil Cloud Sect within their grasp.


    "To think that we met so soon! What a coincidence!" Wang Fan said with a cold laugh.


    Mei Zhen snorted and said, "Wang Fan, I advise you to better not clash with us. Otherwise, let''s fight to the bitter end! You guys won''t be able to get any benefits either!"


    But Wang Fan burst into laughter and said, "Bitter end? With the likes of you? Your Tranquil Cloud Sect even brought a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm disciple out to present a show. Are you even fit to fight to the bitter end with our High Clarity Sect? However . . . although this punk''s realm isn''t high, he is extremely abnormal, to even know about the Seven-Colored Poison Spider! Just a while back, we even lost a Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciple for the sake of harvesting this Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruit. But you all are actually completely unscathed up till now!"


    Wang Fan took it all into his eyes the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s group''s performance earlier.


    If not for Ye Yuan holding back that Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, his outcome now would definitely be the same as that disciple of theirs!


    The High Clarity Sect beat the Tranquil Cloud Sect to this place but lost a Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciple. One could call it heavy losses.


    They were currently thinking of ways to harvest the Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Flower when they just happened to see the Tranquil Cloud Sect people coming over. Hence, they found a place to hide, wanting to see the Tranquil Cloud Sect suffer a huge loss too.


    That Senior Apprentice Brother Pang was about to rush up when he was forcefully held back by Ye Yuan.


    These two days, two disciples already died on their side. It could be said to be heavy losses.


    In contrast, seeing how the Tranquil Cloud Sect team looked exactly the same as they were when they entered made Wang Fan inadvertently furious.


    This sort of contrast between expectations and reality made Wang Fan even more displeased when looking at Ye Yuan!


    Looking at the situation earlier, this boy truly had many abnormal areas.


    "Humph! After entering this mystic realm, life and death are up to fate! Your disciples died, but you can''t put this blame on our heads, right?" Mei Zhen snorted icily.


    "So what if we lay it on you? When we just entered the mystic realm, if this punk just gave a light reminder, we wouldn''t have lost a disciple in vain too! Do you feel whether we should put this score on your heads or not?"


    Mei Zhen involuntarily choked up, but Ye Yuan said, "What duty do I have to remind you? Even if I reminded you, will you be grateful to me? Will you not find trouble with me now?"


    Having experienced several interactions, Ye Yuan had long seen through this Wang Fan''s character. He was simply some loose-principle person without any bottom line.


    Even if he reminded the High Clarity Sect when he entered the mystic realm, it would also be the same situation right now.


    This type of people basically did not know what was called gratitude!


    "Hahaha . . . I said before, you, boy, your bones are very tough! Previously outside the mystic realm, I let you escape a calamity. Now, no one is going to step forward to mediate, right?" Wang Fan laughed maniacally.


    Mei Zhen''s expression turned grave, and he said somberly, "Wang Fan! Don''t push us too far!"


    But Wang Fan paid no attention. He said to Mei Zhen, "Mei Zhen, I give you all a chance. Hand over that boy, and I''ll let you leave. Otherwise . . . none of you shall escape!"


    In Wang Fan''s view, they had two Sea Transformation Realm experts over on their side while the other party only had Mei Zhen alone. The disparity between both party''s strength was too great!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect simply stood no chance at all!


    Mei Zhen''s realm was similar to his, both Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    As long as he delayed Mei Zhen, Yu Feng could freely reap the rest!


    Under such an enormous difference in strength, the Tranquil Cloud Sect team could only hand over Ye Yuan if they wanted to live.


    . . . . . .


    Wang Fan did not know that the target they previously robbed was currently observing everything not far off.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he probably would not be able to recognize that these two women with unparalleled looks were the two people he saved!


    How did the current Li-er and Yan-er still had any hint of ugliness right now?


    Ignoring Li-er, even Yan-er who was a servant was soul-stirringly beautiful.


    As for Li-er, it was simply impossible to find words to describe.


    If one had to describe it, they could only say ''such beauty should only belong to the heavens and not the mortal realm''?


    But currently, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious to this.


    "Miss, it seems like they are going to fight over there. Should we help save Mister Ye?" Yan-er transmitted.


    Li-er shook her head and said, "Watch a while more."


    "Still watching? Mister Ye is only at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Once they fight, he will be instantly killed in a single move!"


    Ye Yuan gave the divine soul mystic art and Tier 8 medicinal pill to Li-er with any hesitation. This improved Yan-er''s impression towards Ye Yuan tremendously and genuinely treating him as a savior.


    So when she saw that Ye Yuan was in danger, she could not wait to lend a helping hand.


    In truth, with the pair''s strength, they did not need Ye Yuan''s saving at all. On the contrary, Ye Yuan''s appearance saved Wang Fan and his group instead.


    If Ye Yuan did not show up at that time, this group from the High Clarity Sect would most likely already end up as a feast in the stomachs of the Cloud Dream Mountain Range right now.


    Li-er and Yan-er did not wish to reveal their strength. That was why they purposely pretended to be Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    Even the Sea Transformation Realm Wang Fan and Mei Zhen were unable to see through Li-er and Yan-er''s strength. One could see just how powerful they were.


    So when Ye Yuan saved them both, master and servant, Li-er was still alright, but Yan-er did not welcome it at all.


    One had to say that she was even more curious that a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually rescued them master and servant without any traces from a bunch of Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    But after Ye Yuan perceived Li-er''s ailment, Yan-er''s thoughts were completely turned around.


    "It''s fine. If Mister Ye is really in danger, I''ll make a move in time. Our identities are special. We mustn''t make a move easily unless there are no other alternatives. Moreover, I also really want to see just where Mister Ye''s limit lies," Li-er said composedly.


    But Yan-er was not very supportive as she said, "I know that Mister Ye is kind of special, but what kind of limits can a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist reach even if he''s strong?"


    Li-er broke into a smile, her beauty unequaled. "That might not be so! I keep feeling that he''s extraordinary!"


    "Alright, alright! Ever since that person left, it''s rare to see Miss pay so much attention to something. Do whatever that makes you happy then!"


    Yan-er realized that she misspoke after she finished talking and involuntarily stuck her tongue out playfully, appearing embarrassed.


    A hint of sorrow flickered across Li-er''s beautiful eyes. She shot Yan-er a fierce glare and no longer bothered with her.


    . . . . . .


    Mei Zhen gave Ye Yuan a glance and gritted his teeth as he said to Wang Fan, "Since that''s the case, then let''s fight to the bitter end!"


    Wang Fan was confused and even thought that he heard wrongly.


    He looked at Mei Zhen and the other Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples and saw that their faces actually revealed resolved looks!


    Mei Zhen actually wanted to turn violent without even thinking?


    One had to know that even though their High Clarity Sect lost two Crystal Formation Realm disciples, the power of Sea Transformation Realm was not something that Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could resist!


    Were this group of people from the Tranquil Cloud Sect daft? Everyone did not want their lives anymore for a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm?


    Wang Fan was completely ignorant of Ye Yuan''s significance to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!

    "I''ll delay them. Yuntian, you quickly bring them away!" Mei Zhen drew his sword and said without even turning his head back.


    Evidently, he already harbored the resolution to die and protect the others'' retreat!


    In Mei Zhen''s heart, these disciples were all the sect''s future. Any one of them was more important than him.


    He was only a sect elder without much room for improvement anymore, while these disciples were going to cause a stir in Southern Domain in the future!


    Ye Yuan was rather overcome with emotion when he saw such a situation. Although the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s strength was not great, their cohesiveness was very strong.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect had people like Luo Qingfeng, Xiao Jian, and Mei Zhen. What was there to worry about not being able to charge back to the Northern Domain?


    It was fine if the sect declined. As long as the peoples'' hearts did not scatter, there would eventually come a day where they would shine once again!


    "The High Clarity Sect is a bunch of motley crew; why is there a need to fight to the death?" Ye Yuan smiled calmly and wielded Canghua Sword with a wave of his hands.


    Once Wang Fan saw the Canghua Sword, the greed in his eyes could not be concealed anymore. "32 restrictions spirit artifact!"


    "Hur hur, Senior Mountain Shaker''s eyes are pretty good," Ye Yuan mocked.


    "Haha, misfortune may actually be a blessing! Losing a stalk of Crow Orchid Ganoderma but acquiring a 32 restrictions spirit artifact, Heaven really treats me well!" Wang Fan cackled.


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Don''t crack your old teeth!"


    "Humph! Razor-tongued brat. Watch if old me don''t take apart your bones today!" Wang Fan snorted coldly.


    Mei Zhen panicked in his heart when he saw Ye Yuan not leaving and said, "Ye Yuan, you guys quickly go! They have two Sea Transformation Realm experts. You all staying is courting death!"


    "Go? Can you leave?"


    How could Wang Fan give him the opportunity? With a wave of his hands, his disciples encircled the Tranquil Cloud Sect team.


    Mei Zhen was exasperated that they failed to live up to his expectation when he saw the situation and said angrily, "You guys! Sigh!"


    But Ye Yuan had a nonchalant look as he transmitted his voice, saying, "Calm down, Elder Mei Zhen, just keeping watching."


    "Sigh! Ye Yuan, I know that you''re relying on that this place doesn''t allow the existence of strength above the Crystal Formation Realm. But even if it''s peak Crystal Formation Realm, you''re also not a match!" Mei Zhen sighed.


    Ye Yuan smirked and said, "Not necessarily!"


    Ye Yuan took a step forward and said to Wang Fan, "Senior Mountain Shaker, aren''t you just trying to find trouble with me? How about this, let''s have a 1-on-1! If you win, this sword is yours, and I''ll be at your mercy. If you lose, let us leave!"


    Wang Fan was stunned when he heard this. A Spirit Condensation Realm challenging a Sea Transformation Realm?


    Just now, he was still thinking that this boy was rather abnormal. Now, it looks like he was simply a moron!


    Wang Fan did not even speak yet when Mei Zhen involuntarily became very anxious and said, "How can that do?! Wang Fan, I''ll duel with you!"


    But Wang Fan ignored Mei Zhen and guffawed loudly as he said, "Boy, did your brain crash from fear? 1-on-1 with me? You aren''t thinking that you''re invincible because you''re holding a 32 restrictions spirit artifact, right?"


    When he said this, the High Clarity Side laughed unceasingly.


    "Haha, so hilarious! I''ve grown so old, and this is still the first time that I''m hearing a Spirit Condensation Realm challenging a Sea Transformation Realm!"


    "Did the brains of Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons go bad? They actually handed a 32 restrictions spirit artifact to a fool like this!"


    "Hur hur, they are teeming with spirit artifacts and came to deliver a spirit artifact to Elder Wang. Do you want to stop them?"


    The group chimed in here and there and burst into laughter again.


    But Ye Yuan did not smile. His eyes were staunch as he said to Mei Zhen, "Elder Mei, just leave this place to me. You bring the seniors and retreat to the side."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s commanding gaze, not knowing why, Mei Zhen swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.


    "Then . . . Then you better be more careful!" Mei Zhen unexpectedly agreed.


    This whole trip, Ye Yuan had already unknowingly replaced Mei Zhen''s position, and became the backbone of this trip for the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Even Mei Zhen was unconsciously influenced too.


    Having convinced Mei Zhen, Ye Yuan turned to Wang Fan and said, "How is it? Do you dare?"


    Wang Fan ridiculed when he saw the situation, "Don''t look at me with those eyes, I''ll really be a little scared! But . . . since you''re so sincere, wouldn''t I be too unamenable to not agree?"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "Senior Mountain Shaker''s true color indeed doesn''t change. Your skin is as thick as always!"


    Wang Fan was already used to Ye Yuan''s tone and knew that he could not beat him in a contention of tongues, so he might as well not argue.


    He looked at Canghua Sword in Ye Yuan''s hands, his gaze sparkling.


    "Don''t say that I''m bullying you! I''ll only use 10% of my strength to fight with you. If you can beat me, then consider it your win!" Wang Fan said with a cold smile.


    This was not Wang Fan boasting. He was at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. Even 10% of his strength was greater than ordinary Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realms!


    Such strength was plenty to deal with a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm boy!


    If he were dealing with Mei Zhen, he would really need to fight seriously.


    But his opponent was Ye Yuan. Wang Fan honestly could not attach any importance to this.


    Even if he knew that Ye Yuan surely had areas where he excelled in, the enormous disparity in realms was simply insurmountable.


    Even if his opponent were a Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would win with certainty.


    As for dealing with a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm . . . there was basically no suspense, right?


    At this time, Wang Fan had the thought of playing cat and mouse.


    But Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard him and said elatedly, "You said it! Don''t regret it when the time comes! You said you''ll only use 10% strength!"


    Wang Fan became even more amused when he saw Ye Yuan''s appearance and deliberately assumed an expert''s demeanor, saying, "I''m a dignified High Clarity Sect elder. Why would I renege on my word against a puny Spirit Condensation Realm? You can rest assured. I said 10% means it''s 10%!"


    The people from the High Clarity Sect were whispering to each other on this side, full of pity towards Ye Yuan.


    "This fool, he isn''t na?ve enough to think that he can win just because Elder Wang is only using 10% of his strength, right?"


    "You look at his thrilled appearance, he definitely thinks so! When he experiences 10% of Elder Wang''s strength in a while, he''ll probably even have the intent to die, right?"


    "Hehe, there''s a good show to watch! I really can''t figure out why the Tranquil Cloud Sect would send such a fool to the mystic realm."


    The negotiations were set. Both parties each withdrew a distance away, clearing out a space for Ye Yuan and Wang Fan''s face off.


    Both parties stood there. Ye Yuan suddenly cracked a smile again and said, "Senior Mountain Shaker, help someone all the way! Why not you allow me a move too, how about that?"


    Wang Fan''s eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Ye Yuan disdainfully and said calmly, "Forget about one move. How about I allow you ten moves?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "No need, no need. Why would I need so many? Just one move is ample!"


    Ye Yuan''s display incurred another bout of mocking laughter. Even Yan-er who was hiding secretly could not help having suspicions about Ye Yuan''s I.Q.


    "Miss, I always felt that Mister Ye was a wise person. But looking at it now, why does he seem very foolish and very na?ve? The other person is a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert. Forget about allowing him one move, even if he stood there unmoving, Mister Ye''s attack might not be able to penetrate his protective essence energy, right?" Yan-er said.


    Li-er likewise had a doubtful look. But since Ye Yuan was not in danger, she also played along with him. "Watch a little longer. I feel that Mister Ye is not somebody who is foolish."

 Chapter 304: Goodbye, Not Seeing You Out!

    Chapter 304: Goodbye, Not Seeing You Out!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Mo Yuntian looked at Ye Yuan with scorching eyes. Only he knew Ye Yuan''s greatest trump card in here!


    After Ye Yuan entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he had never exposed his strongest trump card before.


    Mo Yuntian knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately appearing weak to the enemy in order to win with one blow.


    But the problem was, would Wang Fan really stand there honestly and wait for Ye Yuan to release a mighty blow?


    That was a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert; an existence who could instantly wipe out Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists with a wave of his hands!


    Wang Fan was not some rookie martial artist like Yao Qian. His combat strength was more than a level greater than Yao Qian''s.


    Where did Ye Yuan''s confidence come from?


    But the matter was already done. Thinking too much would not help. If Ye Yuan could not take him down, at the very most, everyone just fought to the death.


    "Senior Mountain Shaker, are you ready? I''m attacking!" Ye Yuan purposely shouted.


    "Attack then. Why would I need to prepare to deal with you?" Wang Fan scoffed.


    "Hur hur, since that''s the case, then I won''t be courteous. Senior Mountain Shaker, please receive this move!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan became solemn. Canghua Sword pointed at Wang Fan. The surrounding heaven and earth essence energy immediately produced a faint fluctuation!


    Wang Fan was initially still relaxed with a laid-back appearance. Sensing this sort of situation, his heart involuntarily jolted.


    "It''s not so sinister, right? Why would there be heaven and earth essence energy undulations? Could it be this boy''s sword move?" Wang Fan secretly pondered.


    Sea Transformation Realm experts'' were much more sensitive to heaven and earth essence energy ripples than those Crystal Formation Realms experts. That was why the other disciples had not reacted yet.


    When the High Clarity Sect disciples saw Ye Yuan put on a stance but there was no movement at all, there was another wave of mockery.


    "Is this guy a joke sent by monkeys? Putting on a false front to scare a Sea Transformation Realm expert?"


    "Haha, Elder Wang is also very happy from playing. This mystic realm is so dangerous; relieving a little is good too."


    "This fellow finally managed to win over the offensive and wasted it like this. Indeed, there are fools every year, but this year is especially plentiful!"


    "All shut up for me! The few of you are the fools!" Yu Feng''s heart also kept drumming. He seriously could not listen anymore; hence, he asked them to stop.


    Those disciples could not help being befuddled. They could not figure out why Elder Yu looked like he was confronted by a powerful enemy.


    But they understood very quickly!


    The heaven and earth essence energy undulations became increasingly stronger, gradually forming countless motes of light in midair. They looked like flowers raining down from the skies!


    Wang Fan stared until his eyes became wide saucers!


    How could such a horrifying sword move appear on a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?


    Also, why could a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist mobilize heaven and earth essence energy? Wasn''t this ability unique to Sea Transformation Realm experts?


    Although this move did not finish forming yet, Wang Fan dared to confirm that once this move was completed, it could absolutely cause tremendous injury to him!


    A Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists could hurt a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. What kind of joke was this?


    . . . . . .


    In the hidden place, when Li-er and Yan-er saw this scene, their faces similarly changed drastically; the astoundment in their hearts could not be any greater!


    Except, the reason for their astonishment was completely different from Wang Fan. Others could not see through the realm of this move from Ye Yuan, but Li-er and Yan-er could understand!


    "Supreme true intent! Miss, is that . . . is that . . . supreme true intent?"


    Yan-er cried out in shock first, then was somewhat uncertain towards the end.


    How could something like supreme true intent appear on a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?


    Li-er''s beautiful eyes wandered, shock likewise written all over her face. She only sucked in a deep breath after a long while and replied Yan-er, "It''s indeed the elementary form of supreme true intent! This sword move already took the form of power, showing that his comprehension towards supreme true intent has already taken not a small step! If Mister Ye and that person''s cultivation realm was similar, no, as long as he has late-stage Crystal Formation strength, instantly killing that person is not an issue!"


    There was an extremely huge gap between Crystal Formation Realm and Sea Transformation Realm. One could see how high Li-er''s appraisal of Ye Yuan was.


    "But, Mister Ye is only at the Crystal Formation Realm. How can he grasp supreme true intent?" Yan-er still felt that she did not dare quite believe it.


    Li-er sighed and said, "I guessed that Mister Ye surely had some trump card, but I didn''t think that his trump card was actually a supreme true intent! This trump card is too unexpected! Mister Ye, he . . . will definitely be a figure who shakes the Divine Realm in the future!"


    In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, supreme true intent was the paramount profound meaning!


    The earlier one grasped supreme true intent, the more supreme true intents one could grasp. The greater the accomplishments of the martial artist as well.


    But even among the Divine Realm''s major factions, it was already pretty impressive for those peerless geniuses to be able to comprehend the elementary form of supreme true intent in the Sea Transformation Realm. It was unheard of for Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists to be able to comprehend the elementary form of supreme true intent!


    . . . . . .


    The spots of light filling the skies caused everyone''s hearts to palpitate, especially those from the High Clarity Sect.


    They only knew now that they were the clowns!


    Just this move was sufficient to instantly kill any one beneath Sea Transformation Realm!


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, Thousand Flowing Petals, attack!"


    With a light cry from Ye Yuan, countless petals swept over towards Wang Fan.


    How could Wang Fan bother with whatever conduct of an expert right now? The petals-filled skies sealed all of his escape routes shut. If he still did not make a move, it would at the very least be the outcome of heavily wounded.


    10% strength? Screw his mother''s 10% strength!


    Wang Fan used his fingers as a sword, activating the High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law. He bellowed, "Five Lighting Dipper Law! Break for me!"


    Only to see electric arcs pervading around Wang Fan. The aura belonging to a Sea Transformation Realm was exhibited beyond doubt!


    When the floating petals touched those electric arcs, they vanished abruptly with any traces. It actually could not approach his body.


    Wang Fan sneered and said, "Boy, you really have some capabilities! If your realm is similar to mine, this move is sufficient to instantly kill me. But sadly, I won''t give you this chance!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically when he saw the situation, and he rebuked furiously, "You deceitful person! You said that you would only use 10% strength in front of so many people earlier. Now, you actually reneged!"


    Wang Fan roared with laughter and said, "Young man, you''re too na?ve! In the martial arts world, the victor becomes king and the loser a bandit. Only the victor can laugh to the very end! So . . . go and die! Five Lightning Dipper Law, go!"


    Wang Fan tapped with his sword finger. An extremely horrifying flow of electric current directly tore through the air and attacked Ye Yuan.


    But just when everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, the wind and clouds suddenly changed!


    It was originally a stretch of cloudless blue skies within the mystic realm. Presently, a stretch of dark clouds suddenly gathered on top of Wang Fan.


    And that electric arc he fired out dissipated into nothing just like that halfway through!


    Virtually in the same instant that the dark clouds amassed, an exceedingly terrifying pressure came from the skies. Even as a Sea Transformation Realm expert, Wang Fan felt asphyxiated too!


    "W-What''s going on? What happened? Why . . . Why did my attack vanish?"


    Not knowingly why, a foreboding premonition suddenly birthed in Wang Fan''s heart, resulting in him stammering even when talking.


    By the side, when Yu Feng saw that bundle of dark clouds, his expression changed even more. "H-Heavenly tribulation? Why did heavenly tribulation appear? Sh*t! Senior Apprentice Brother Wang, quickly dodge!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Wang Fan who was opposite and said with a slight smile, "Senior Mountain Shaker, goodbye! Ye Yuan won''t be seeing you out!"

 Chapter 305: Obliterated!

    Chapter 305: Obliterated!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The pressure in the air became increasingly more powerful. Wang Fan''s expression also became increasingly uglier.


    That mass of dark clouds clearly came for him!


    Especially when he saw Ye Yuan''s derisive eyes, he spontaneously had a feeling of being played.


    It was crystal clear that Ye Yuan surely knew something!


    This damnable fellow, talking about whatever 1-on-1, but in reality, he was digging a pit for him to jump in.


    Malicious motives!


    "Damn it! What did you do, punk?" Wang Fan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan spread his hands and said, "I didn''t do anything, you''re the one who did it."


    At this moment, the sense of crisis in Wang Fan''s heart became ever more intense. He looked at Ye Yuan as he said through gnashed teeth, "Who cares what you did; I''ll kill you first then talk!"


    As he spoke, Wang Fan''s figure moved and arrived in front of Ye Yuan instantaneously!


    The Five Lightning Dipper Law was already useless, then he might as well go closer.


    Rumble!


    A hint of ferociousness appeared on Wang Fan''s face as he smashed Ye Yuan into meat paste.


    "Haha! Asking for it! Now, can''t jump around anymore, right?" Wang Fan laughed madly.


    "En? What are you doing, Senior Mountain Shaker? If I were you, I''d better think of a way to extricate myself right now."


    Over on Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side, another Ye Yuan appeared. Turned out that that earlier was just an avatar body.


    Wang Fan''s face changed, and he said in a low voice, "Avatar body!"


    But he no longer had time to be surprised. Right then, a coarse bolt of lightning suddenly released from the clouds, landing straight on Wang Fan''s body.


    Everybody was dumbstruck by this scene. That bolt of lightning directly submerged Wang Fan.


    When the lightning disappeared, and they looked over again, Wang Fan had already turned into charcoal and became completely silent.


    Wang Fan was actually unable to even give a tragic cry and was instantly wiped out like that!


    After the lightning fell, that mass of dark clouds dispersed very swiftly, as if it had never appeared.


    Yu Feng could not help shuddering when he saw this scene. This scene was really too astounding.


    "This . . . What the hell happened here?" Yu Feng murmured.


    He still had not figured out just where this heavenly tribulation came from until now.


    Yu Feng''s gaze involuntarily turned towards Ye Yuan. That brat seemed to know something.


    Although Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals was strong, his realm was too low. It was simply impossible to threaten Wang Fan.


    Recalling everything that happened previously, Yu Feng deeply felt that this so-called 1-on-1 just now was just a large pit trap!


    "Ye Yuan, what did you do?" The eyes Yu Feng looked at Ye Yuan with were filled with fear.


    Yes, a Sea Transformation Realm expert was actually afraid of a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!


    This boy was seriously too abnormal!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Think about it yourself. I don''t have any duty to explain to you. Now, are you still going to take revenge for that Senior Mountain Shaker?"


    Yu Feng''s expression changed, the fear in his eyes became even thicker.


    He simply could not understand what just happened. This boy was so sinister. What if he also got targeted by heavenly tribulation?


    In addition, with Wang Fan''s death, their side''s strength fell drastically and was instead no longer Tranquil Cloud Sect''s match!


    Take revenge for Wang Fan?


    You got to be kidding!


    Yu Feng ground his teeth and said to the disciples, "Let''s go!"


    Seeing the High Clarity Sect people off with their gazes, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group also heaved a sigh in relief.


    Tian Yu pounded a fist on Ye Yuan''s chest and said delightedly, "Heh, punk, didn''t think you actually still had such a powerful killing move! If you used this move during the sect grand competition, even Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu would not be your match! You''re only at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm and can actually communicate with heaven and earth essence energy, truly too monstrous!"


    As the saying went, no discord, no concord. After the sect grand competition last time where Tian Yu and Ye Yuan battled bitterly to the last trace of essence energy, they fought out a comradery.


    It was just that Tian Yu could never have imagined that Ye Yuan actually still had such an incredible killing blow that he did not unleash.


    He thought that that final blow from Ye Yuan back then was already his strongest attack.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This move is flashy without substance. Although its power is great, the time it needs is too much. Unless it''s a specific environment, it can''t be used. If I want to use this move on the platform during the grand competition, will you give me the chance?"


    Tian Yu thought about it and nodded, saying, "Haha, that''s true! But even that final attack of yours was already sufficiently powerful! I, Tian Yu, have always praised myself as a genius. But today, I''m utterly convinced by you!"


    "To be able to comprehend the elementary form of true intent, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s future accomplishments are also limitless!"


    "Oh right, what in the world happened earlier? That was . . . heavenly tribulation?" Tian Yu asked rather uncertainly.


    With him asking, everybody perked up their ears. They also really wanted to know what happened just now.


    A Sea Transformation Realm expert was instantly trounced in front of them. That sight was overly shocking.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That wasn''t heavenly tribulation but the electrical energy released by a grand array."


    "What? Grand array?! You mean to say that we''re currently inside a grand array?" Tian Yu exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! I noticed it right after entering the mystic realm. This mystic realm is sealed off by a massive grand array. This grand array is called the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array, a type of high-grade Tier 5 grand array! Its power is immense!"


    Everybody sucked in a cold breath. High-grade Tier 5 grand array formations were even a level stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array!


    Mo Yuntian suddenly thought of something and asked, "You said to me before, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might become a team second only to the Heavenly Sky Sect. Could it be derived from this grand array?"


    Ye Yuan nodded. He recounted the previous speculations for everyone, saying, "Originally, I was only guessing. But after entering the mystic realm, I already confirmed it. That''s why I had no fear."


    They were all unbelievably shocked when they heard it. Ye Yuan actually deduced so much information from a couple of words from Li Zhangyu. It was evident how scrupulous his thoughts were!


    "What kind of grand array is this Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array? What did Wang Fan do to trigger the grand array just now?" Tian Yu asked.


    "The Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array can set up a corresponding realm. As long as there exists strength that surpasses this realm''s strength, it will be obliterated by the grand array! And now, the realm set by this grand array is . . . Crystal Formation Realm!" Ye Yuan explained.


    Everybody could not resist shooting another glance at the super dead Wang Fan after listening to Ye Yuan''s words.


    The power of this grand array was too terrifying!


    A Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was easily obliterated just like this.


    "So you deliberately challenged Wang Fan just now and then forced him to use strength exceeding the Crystal Formation Realm, and from there, eradicated by the grand array?" Tian Yu marveled.


    Such a foe was too terrifying. Ye Yuan practically included everything in his calculations, playing with a Sea Transformation Realm expert within the palm of his hands.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan really forced Wang Fan to use all of his strength!


    They could not help somewhat rejoicing that Ye Yuan was someone on their side.


    Having such an opponent was simply a nightmare!

    Chapter 306: Colluding

    "Miss, this Mister Ye is too scary! To actually comprehend the elementary form of supreme true intent at the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm! As long as he doesn''t fall, he''ll surely be a figure that shakes the Divine Realm in the future!"


    This battle just now, Yan-er watched for a long time with her mouth agape. The astonishment on her face would not fade away.


    Li-er was similarly shocked beyond words. She muttered, "Just who is he? Such talent, even in the Divine Realm, he''ll be a pinnacle existence. Why did he end up in a tiny little Endless World?"


    "Yeah! The Endless World is merely a very unremarkable one among the hundreds of millions of lower planes. Furthermore, how did Mister Ye comprehend supreme true intent in a Southern Domain''s tiny sect? This is simply something that cannot possibly happen!"


    Li-er smiled bitterly and said, "I daren''t believe it too, but this is the truth! Moreover, Mister Ye''s supreme true intent is rather powerful!"


    "This Mister Ye is really an enigmatic existence!" Yan-er sighed with admiration.


    "I didn''t think that we''d actually bump into such a figure when we came to the Endless World! Yan-er, we''re not going back anymore. I want to follow him to see what kind of secrets he has. If there''s a possibility, let''s form good relations with him. He''d be an extremely strong aid to the family clan in the future too!" Li-er seemed to have made some kind of resolution.


    "But Miss, your ailment . . ."


    Li-er waved her hands and said, "Doesn''t matter! I have a feeling that maybe for this illness of mine to cured, it will ultimately still fall on Mister Ye''s head."


    Yan-er opened her mouth wide and said, "How is that possible? That''s a Tier 8 pill formula! With Mister Ye''s realm, how long until he can refine it?"


    "Then how do you think Mister Ye acquired the Tier 8 pill formula with his age?" Li-er retorted.


    "This . . . How would Yan-er know?"


    "That''s why. This Mister Ye''s background is definitely complicated! Alright, enough talk, I''ve already decided!" Li-er said.


    . . . . . .


    With Wang Fan''s death, the High Clarity Sect''s strength was weakened severely.


    Yu Feng was only a First Level Sea Transformation Realm. His strength was much weaker than Mei Zhen.


    This entire journey here, the High Clarity Sect suffered heavy casualties and practically became a bottom-tier sect already.


    With the various great sects heading further in, the dangers they faced would become increasingly more.


    Progressing at this rate, the various great sects'' Sea Transformation Realm experts who did not know the inside story would more or less suffer some losses.


    In comparison, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s strength appeared stronger instead!


    "This matter is done. We''d better hurry up and leave this place," Mei Zhen opened his mouth to say.


    "Just a moment, Elder Mei. That Vermillion Lotus Iceheart Fruit is a Tier 4 medicinal herb; isn''t abandoning it like this too much of pity?" Ye Yuan said.


    Mei Zhen''s eyes lit up, and he asked, "You have a way, Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Did Elder Mei forget? I have an avatar body!"


    Mei Zhen slapped his head and said, "Look at my brain! Then I''ll have to trouble you, Ye Yuan."


    Ye Yuan smiled and nodded his head. His figure moved and suddenly split into two. Another Ye Yuan walked out from his body.


    When he was plucking the Vermilion Lotus Iceheart Fruit, indeed, a tiny multi-colored gorgeous spider jumped on ''Ye Yuan''s body.


    This poison spider was obviously here to attack Ye Yuan. Only to hear a ''fwoosh,'' that poison spider was instantly burnt and dropped on the ground.


    It only struggled a few times and stopped moving.


    That was the Tier 4 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Wasn''t it courting death for the Seven-Colored Poison Spider to go and bite him?


    Keeping the Vermilion Lotus Iceheart Fruit, the group continued walking towards the deep regions of the mystic realm.


    After three days, Yu Feng and his team who fled with their tails between their legs were very cautious the entire way and no longer dared to have the slightest bit of carelessness, preserving some strength to the best of their abilities.


    And Yu Feng also reflected a little at this time. When Wang Fan was confronting Ye Yuan, it seemed like his strength touched some taboo existence. That was why it triggered that ''heavenly tribulation''!


    They had also experienced a number of minor and major fights along the way. Nothing seemed to have happened to the Crystal Formation Realm disciples, while Wang Fan only used Sea Transformation Realm strength that one time with Ye Yuan.


    Could it be that this mystic realm did not permit the appearance of strength exceeding Crystal Formation Realm? Or else, it would trigger heavenly tribulation?


    Thinking up to here, Yu Feng inadvertently became more cautious. Every time he attacked, he suppressed his realm to the Crystal Formation Realm.


    "Elder Yu, over there seems to be Heavenly Sky Sect''s people!" a disciple suddenly said.


    "En?" Yu Feng looked over. Indeed, he saw the Heavenly Sky Sect group currently heading over here.


    "Haha, turns out that it''s High Clarity Sect''s Elder Yu. I wonder how Elder Yu''s gains are on this trip?" Wu Zhao greeted.


    Yu Feng''s expression did not look too good. But their present strength was too weak, so he obviously did not dare to put on any airs in front of the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    He looked at the Heavenly Sky Sect again and discovered that the Heavenly Sky Sect''s headcount did not drop by a single one. His complexion became even worse.


    "Still alright, still alright. But compared to the Heavenly Sky Sect, it''s definitely way worse." Yu Feng forced a smile.


    "Hmm? Didn''t Elder Wang lead the team in your High Clarity Sect? Where is he?" Wu Zhao feigned ignorance and asked.


    They already had a taste of the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array, so they naturally knew its power. Wang Fan was currently missing. Most likely, he was smitten by lightning.


    Seeing the High Clarity Sect again with heavy casualties, Wu Zhao was in a great mood.


    The route these few days were within the Heavenly Sky Sect''s grasp. They avoided some dangerous places and did not have serious losses.


    But Wu Zhao also knew that the true danger was only starting now.


    With Wu Zhao asking this, Yu Feng''s face turned even uglier.


    Yu Feng turned back to give the High Clarity Sect disciples a glance and suddenly made a decision. He gritted his teeth and cupped his hands towards Wu Zhao as he pled, "Elder Wu, my High Clarity Sect is willing to offer up our gains on this trip. We only implore Elder Wu to take revenge for my Senior Apprentice Brother Wang!"


    Wu Zhao was stunned when he heard this. He didn''t think that Yu Feng would actually say something like this.


    It looks like there was more than meets the eye to Wang Fan''s death!


    Putting away his smile, Wu Zhao said, "Elder Yu needs not do this. What happened to Elder Wang, tell me."


    Yu Feng gnashed his teeth hatefully and said, "It''s all thanks to that stinky brat called Ye Yuan from the Tranquil Cloud Sect! As long as Elder Wu help us take revenge, my High Clarity Sect group is willing to listen to Elder Wu''s orders within this mystic realm! Three days ago . . ."


    Yu Feng recounted the incident three days ago to Wu Zhao in detail.


    With Wang Fan''s death, Yu Feng could not do much single-handedly. He seriously did not have much confidence in walking out of the mystic realm. Rather than that, why not take a gamble and place his bets on the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    But Wu Zhao laughed when he heard this and said, "Is Elder Yu messing with me? He, Ye Yuan, is a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm, and you said that he mobilized heaven and earth essence energy and forced Elder Wang to use Sea Transformation Realm strength?"


    Yu Feng said anxiously, "Everything Yu Feng said earlier was the absolute truth! I swear in the name of Heavenly Dao, if there are any false statements, I''ll get struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"


    Only now did Wu Zhao reveal a grave expression. "But how is that possible? Forget about Spirit Condensation Realm, even Crystal Formation Realms cannot possibly maneuver heaven and earth essence energy!"


    "I also don''t know why he can mobilize heaven and earth essence energy, but I saw it with my own eyes! It''s undeniable!" Yu Feng was dead certain.


    "Hiss . . . If that''s the case, this child indeed cannot be let alive! Fine, I promise you; as long as I meet the Tranquil Cloud Sect group, I''ll help you eliminate that child!" Wu Zhao said ruthlessly.

 Chapter 307: Bringing Disaster to the Fish in the Moat

    Chapter 307: Bringing Disaster to the Fish in the Moat


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    After several days, seven to eight people walked out of a dense forest. Ahead was a large stretch of grass plain.


    The few people''s conditions were not very good. Many still had injuries on them. They had clearly just gone through a major battle.


    This group of people was precisely the Tranquil Cloud Sect team.


    "Elder Mei, that Tier 3 Nine Serene Ice Lion just now was rather powerful. We only barely managed to fight it to a draw after combining eight people''s strength! Why are the Tier 3 demonic beasts'' strength so high in this mystic realm?"


    From Tian Yu''s expression, one could see that he still had some lingering fear from that great battle earlier.


    Mei Zhen said, "The mystic realm doesn''t permit for existences above Tier 3. So these demonic beasts all suppressed their realms and not break through, putting all of their efforts on comprehending concepts. That''s why while they may only be Tier 3 demonic beasts, in terms of concept comprehension, they are much stronger than even me!"


    "Demonic beasts'' talent in comprehending concepts cannot compare to humans, but their advantage lies in that their lifespan is long. Accumulating bit by bit also becomes pretty impressive," Ye Yuan added on.


    In this mystic realm, there were surely many demonic beasts that attempted to break through to Tier 4 and were killed by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array.


    With things persisting that way, the demonic beasts naturally gave up on breaking through and placed all of their energy onto comprehending concepts.


    "Looks like this mystic realm is filled with dangers everywhere. Nobody knows what we''ll bump into in the future!" Tian Yu said rather worriedly.


    "This mystic realm is not that simple. It will probably be even more dangerous towards the back. Everyone, be more careful," Mei Zhen said.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but in truth, he also had a forewarning.


    Ye Yuan could skate around dangers related to natural treasures. But he was ultimately mortal and not a god. He had no way of grasping some unknown threats.


    Not knowing why, Ye Yuan kept having a feeling that he was being monitored.


    But no matter how he observed, he could not find any inkling of it. This sort of feeling like having a prickle on his back made him feel very uneasy.


    "Hehe, I wonder if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm inside this mystic realm. If he can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, our Tranquil Cloud Sect ''s strength will soar dramatically!" Tian Yu suddenly said with a laugh.


    "Yeah. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s cultivation speed is too freakish. He had just broken through three realms in the sect grand competition. It''s only been a dozen days or so, and he broke through again to the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    "If he can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, with the suppression of realms inside this mystic realm, even if he confronted a Sea Transformation Realm expert, he would have no fear."


    The essence energy inside this mystic realm was abundant. Ye Yuan originally reached the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm bottleneck already. After a few days of fighting and absorbing essence energy, he finally took advantage of an opportunity yesterday and broke through to the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.


    This was naturally good news to the Tranquil Cloud Sect group.


    Ye Yuan''s greatest shortfall was his realm. Once his realm could rise up, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would become much more confident.


    They chatted and laughed and were just about to head into the deep regions of the grass plain when alarm bells started going off.


    Their field of vision was suddenly filled with a dark mass as it surged over here.


    "W-What''s that?"


    In a blink of an eye, that dark mass showed itself in front of everybody. The Tranquil Cloud Sect group finally made out what those were.


    "Bloodthirsty Skywolf! It''s Bloodthirsty Skywolf! My god, there are so many Bloodthirsty Skywolves!" Somebody cried out.


    Mei Zhen evidently recognized them too as he said in a grave voice, "The Bloodthirsty Skywolf''s personality is extremely savage. Once tangled with them, it will be to the death! Our headcount is too little, best to not face them head-on. Quickly withdraw!"


    They were just about to turn around when they heard a holler, "Is that friends from the Tranquil Cloud Sect over there? I beg you all to lend us a hand! The Purple Mansion Sect will be indebted forever!"


    "Ah!"


    At virtually the same time, a disciple who lagged behind the Purple Mansion Sect was caught up by the wolf pack which chomped on his leg as he cried out miserably.


    The wolf pack completely did not give him any chance to retaliate. Several more Bloodthirsty Skywolves bit down on his four limbs. He could not shake them off no matter how he tried.


    In just a few short breaths of time, that Purple Mansion Sect disciple was torn into ribbons, alarming the Tranquil Cloud Sect group who was watching greatly.


    The group only saw clearly now that turns out this group of Bloodthirsty Skywolves was tracking down the Purple Mansion Sect people over here.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Too late, can''t leave anymore!"


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect people were stunned. Only now did they discover that many Bloodthirsty Skywolfs appeared all around from god knows where. They actually surrounded them!


    And at this time, the Purple Mansion Sect disciples had already converged with the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple. The two teams were encircled like prey by over a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolfs.


    Mei Zhen shot a glare at the person who shouted out just now. If not for his yell, the wolf pack would not have completed the encirclement, and the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples would not have gotten caught in danger.


    The person who yelled out was a young man, Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm cultivation, even higher than Mo Yuntian.


    Seemingly detecting Mei Zhen''s unfriendly eyes, he was fully apologetic as he said, "Elder Mei, this Junior is also at the end of my ropes; that''s why I did that! My Purple Mansion Sect had over ten people, but now, there are only these four or five people left. Even Elder Xu also died under heavenly tribulation. As long as Elder Mei can rescue us, we''ll definitely compensate you heavily! If we''re fortunate enough to escape this mystic realm, Junior Lin Chao will definitely report truthfully to Sect Master. I believe that Sect Master will express gratitude to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    Mei Zhen''s face was dark as he snorted coldly and said, "It already came to this, do we still have a way out? Eliminate these Bloodthirsty Skywolves first then talk!"


    Lin Chao was overjoyed when he heard this. "Many thanks to Elder Mei for saving us! Junior is eternally grateful! But later on, when Elder Mei is attacking, you must not use Sea Transformation Realm strength. Otherwise, it will bring down heavenly tribulation!"


    Mei Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I know that! Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple listen up! Set up the Eight Gates Gold Lock Formation. You all each guard one area. Take heed not to let the wolf pack break in. As for the Purple Mansion Sect people, you guys enter the formation first and rest a while, then come and assist us."


    Mei Zhen could tell at a glance that these remaining disciples from the Purple Mansion Sect were already a spent force and was unable to sustain much longer.


    Rather than letting them join the battle, might as well rest a while then join in.


    The Eight Gates Gold Lock Formation was only an ordinary joint attack formation. Most great sect disciples knew it.


    Although this formation''s strength was not great, it was very practical in such a messy fight so as to not get taken down one by one by the wolf pack.


    Of course, how long it could defend for was another question.


    After all, these Bloodthirsty Skywolves were all at the early-stage Tier 3 realm!


    A hundred early-stage Tier 3 Bloodthirsty Skywolfs was absolutely a nightmare-like existence. Otherwise, these Purple Mansion Sect disciples would not have fled so miserably.


    With Mei Zhen''s command, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples each laid out the formation to welcome the enemy.


    They also knew that this was an extremely dangerous juncture and must not be careless.


    But Ye Yuan''s attention was placed on that Lin Chao the entire time.


    Though it was only a few words from start to finish, Ye Yuan could sense that he was a guy with extremely deep schemes.


    From when the wolf pack showed up to now, it seemed very coincidental, but Ye Yuan had a feeling that this was all deliberately done with Lin Chao!


    No other reason. Just because that yell earlier was too coincidental.

 Chapter 308: Fierce Fight

    Chapter 308: Fierce Fight


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The timing of that yell was grasped perfectly, making the Tranquil Cloud Sect lose the last chance to escape.


    Of course, every man for himself. There was nothing wrong with Lin Chao purposely dragging the Tranquil Cloud Sect down into the water. But the reminder to Mei Zhen later on appeared too fake.


    They had already entered the mystic realm for such a long time. The dangers that each sect faced was too many to count.


    If Ye Yuan''s conjectures were right, each sect''s Sea Transformation Realm elder were pretty much all dead already.


    There were most likely only the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect these two sects who were fully intact.


    If it was just to stay alive, no harm in scheming a little. But Ye Yuan feared that this Lin Chao had malicious intentions.


    Compared to demonic beasts, humans were unmistakably scarier.


    The Purple Mansion Sect was the number two great sect in the Southern Domain, second only to the Heavenly Sky Sect. But they only sent one Sea Transformation Realm elder here this time. It more or less seemed somewhat odd.


    To this end, Ye Yuan naturally paid attention to it.


    The Bloodthirsty Skywolves did not immediately attack. They just surrounded everyone.


    Eight people were trapped by a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves. This sort of pressure was too intense. Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples could not help feeling a little parched.


    "Surrounding but not attacking. They are playing mental warfare! Hur hur, such clever demonic beasts!" Ye Yuan said calmly.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect group were shocked before recovering only now and could not help feeling deeply ashamed. Humans nearly falling for demonic beasts'' strategy. Saying it out loud was overly humiliating.


    Lin Chao who was presently meditating in the circle could not resist sizing up Ye Yuan while Ye Yuan''s gaze also just happened to look over at this time. The pair smiled when their eyes met.


    The two people''s smiles both had deep meaning behind it.


    Right then, the wolf pack automatically divided. A Bloodthirsty Skywolf that was fire-red from head to toe walked out of the wolf pack.


    Everyone''s pupils involuntarily constricted when they saw it.


    That was the wolf king, Bloodthirsty Wolf King!


    Peak Tier 3 existence!


    Everyone believed that if not for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array, this wolf king would absolutely be a Tier 4 existence!


    The Bloodthirsty Wolf King was awe-inspiring. The aura on his body was even stronger than Mei Zhen.


    But he did not bother with the Tranquil Cloud Sect group. He just stared fixedly at Lin Chao with scorching eyes.


    It was as if Lin Chao did not detect it at all. He was making the best use of his time as before to recover his strength.


    But this scene was taken in by the Tranquil Cloud Sect people. An unusual thought involuntarily birthed in the minds of the disciples.


    "Seniors, stop fantasizing. The Bloodthirsty Skywolves are naturally savage and will not let us go. Discuss the Purple Mansion Sect matters afterward. If we don''t exert our utmost effort, we''ll only end up in the wolves'' mouths eventually!" Ye Yuan raised his voice and said.


    Mo Yuntian and the rest only came around now and could not help being dumbstruck.


    This wolf king was simply even more cunning than humans. Just one look and it caused a chink to form between the two great sects!


    If there were no reminder from Ye Yuan, they would definitely have some misgivings during the battle. That look from the wolf king was clearly to make the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples think that the wolf pack was just here for the Purple Mansion Sect and had nothing to do with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    With this sort of psychological hint, would the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples still defend the Purple Mansion Sect to the death?


    The wolf king obviously heard Ye Yuan''s voice too, his gaze landing on this young Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist with unkind eyes.


    Both schemes were spoiled by this young man. This wolf clear had clearly become enraged too.


    Seeing the wolf king''s eyes, Mei Zhen secretly thought shit! He hurriedly said, "Leave the wolf king to me, each of you takes care of yourselves! You whelping from the Purple Mansion Sect, quickly take the time to recover your strength. If someone can''t endure it on our side, immediately help out!"


    Lin Chao nodded and said, "Rest assured, Elder Mei!"


    The wolf king saw that there were no opportunities to take advantage of and also gave up on scheming. He gave a long howl.


    This was apparently the signal for the wolf pack to attack!


    After those Bloodthirsty Skywolves heard this howl, each one of them was like on stimulants as they charged towards the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples without heed for their lives.


    Mei Zhen wielded his sword but rushed to the wolf king first to fight him.


    This wolf king was very sentient. He was worried about the wolf king retaliating Ye Yuan.


    But even so, Ye Yuan''s side was still being heavily taken care of by ordinary Bloodthirsty Skywolves!


    It was very obvious that the wolf king had issued an order to kill Ye Yuan first!


    Actually, at this time, the Tranquil Cloud Sect peoples'' conditions were not too good. They had just fought a great battle with the Nine Serene Ice Lion not long before, and some disciples were still wounded.


    But the Tranquil Cloud Sect fought with greater numbers previously. Everyone''s losses were not great.


    Lin Chao mediated to recover essence energy while secretly observing these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' strength.


    Although Tian Yu''s realm was the lowest inside, he had comprehended the elementary form of true intent. After breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm, his combat power was tremendous. One person handling seven to eight Bloodthirsty Skywolves was not an issue.


    Ti Wujiu was Third Level Crystal Formation Realm, but his fist intent realm was similarly very high!


    Only to see him throw fist after fist solidly. Those Bloodthirsty Skywolves were actually unable to approach him!


    As a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm expert, Mo Yuntian''s strength barred no questions.


    Rather, it was the other few Crystal Formation Realm martial artists who appeared to be struggling.


    His gaze finally stopped on Ye Yuan, and his expression involuntarily choked up.


    Although he guessed that Ye Yuan definitely had abilities surpassing others to enter the mystic realm with Spirit Condensation Realm strength, he could not have imagined that Ye Yuan was actually so strong!


    There were over a dozen Bloodthirsty Skywolves surrounding Ye Yuan alone, but he relied on one sword to slaughter his way in and out as he liked. Those dozen over Bloodthirsty Skywolves were unable to do anything to him.


    After a dozen over exchanges, Ye Yuan was perfectly fine, but quite a few of those Bloodthirsty Skywolves were wounded!


    These were Tier 3 demonic beasts!


    Each one of them was existences like human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!


    An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat could actually treat it like there was nobody in this place under these demonic beasts'' combined attacks!


    If one were to say that an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm crossed ranks to battle one or two Tier 3 demonic beasts, that was still passable. But being surrounded by over a dozen demonic beasts, that was absolutely a quantitative to qualitative change; pressure changed abruptly!


    Furthermore, a Bloodthirsty Skywolf''s speed was abnormally fast. Ordinary martial artists were simply unable to keep up. But Ye Yuan actually twisted and turned around inside effortlessly!


    When did such a monstrous existence appear in the Tranquil Cloud Sect?


    That Bloodthirsty Wolf King was in the midst of an intense battle with Mei Zhen. But when he detected the situation over on Ye Yuan''s side, he howled again.


    This time, even more Bloodthirsty Skywolves surged towards Ye Yuan''s side!


    With this, the pressure over at Ye Yuan''s seniors'' side inadvertently lessened.


    While on Ye Yuan''s side, the number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves increased to over twenty all at once!


    "Be careful, Ye Yuan!" Mo Yuntian could not help being worried when he saw the situation.


    He was fenced in by two middle-stage Bloodthirsty Skywolves and several early-stage Bloodthirsty Skywolves over here and could not extricate himself at all.


    Ti Wujiu''s and Tian Yu''s sides were the same. Though the Bloodthirsty Skywolves could not do anything to them, they were helpless against the Bloodthirsty Skywolves too.


    And Ye Yuan''s side was already completely flooded with Bloodthirsty Skywolves!


    When Mei Zhen saw this state of affairs, his forehead was full of sweat from anxiety, and he yelled at Lin Chao, "Lin Chao, how long do you want to wait to make a move?!"

 Chapter 309: Trouble!

    Chapter 309: Trouble!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The Bloodthirsty Wolf King''s combat strength was extraordinarily powerful. Mei Zhen was suppressed at peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm to battle it but was facing dangers everywhere!


    With this holler, he nearly let the wolf king grasp an opportunity to catch him with its claws.


    Bu Lin Chao smiled calmly and said, "Don''t get anxious, Elder Mei; this junior isn''t at the end of his ropes yet."


    "Lin Chao, you!"


    Mei Zhen was nearly infuriated until he coughed blood. He did not manage to avoid the wolf king''s metal claw this time, and his arm took a hit. Blood started flowing instantly.


    Mei Zhen clenched his jaws and really wanted to erupt with Sea Transformation Realm strength. But the warning left behind by Wang Fan was still vivid in his mind. Sea Transformation Realm strength simply could not be used!


    With this confusion, Mei Zhen was immediately suppressed by the wolf king and fell in a disadvantageous position in all aspects.


    Although this Bloodthirsty Wolf King''s strength could not compare to that Nine Serene Ice Lion from before, it was still slightly stronger than Mei Zhen who suppressed at the Crystal Formation Realm.


    Right then, Ye Yuan who was engulfed by the wolf pack suddenly exploded with multiple rays of pale yellow light!


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The sound of a series of sword beams piercing the skin spread out. Then, a number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves went flying out. The wolf pack''s siege crumbled all at once.


    "Ye Yuan! It''s great that you''re okay!" Mo Yuntian was elatedly seeing the situation.


    Ye Yuan called out, "Elder Mei and Senior Apprentice Brother do not need to worry about me. I have no problems protecting myself."


    While talking, Ye Yuan released several more sword beams again. A number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves were speared flying again.


    The eruption on Ye Yuan''s side finally stirred the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' fighting spirit. Each one of them released their combat strength to the fullest and actually suppressed a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves with only eight people''s strength!


    For a period of time, only whimperings and whinings were heard everywhere. Many Bloodthirsty Skywolves were injured.


    But the Bloodthirsty Skywolf had two notable characteristics. One was high speed and the second was coarse skin and thick flesh.


    Although many Bloodthirsty Skywolves were injured over here, barely any truly died.


    "Haha, everyone, double up! These Bloodthirsty Skywolves are nothing more than this!"


    "Yeah! Just a bunch of animals! Let''s kill them! So many Tier 3 demonic wolf inner cores! We''re going to be rich this time!"


    "Buck up, little wolves! I, Your Little Lord, haven''t fought to my heart''s content yet!"


    Due to Ye Yuan keeping in check quite a number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves alone, this bout of fighting was exceptionally carefree.


    Seeing as the combat strength of those Bloodthirsty Skywolves were becoming weaker and weaker, everybody''s mood eased up quite a bit.


    Right then, that wolf king howled again!


    "Haha, still howling?! It''s useless even if you howl again! After we take care of your offspring, we''ll pummel you together!" Senior Apprentice Brother Pang derided the wolf king with a loud laugh.


    But Ye Yuan''s face darkened as he said in a grave voice, "Seniors, be careful! These Bloodthirsty Skywolves are going to go into a frenzy! Bloodthirsty Skywolves will have a tremendous increase in speed after entering a frenzy! Don''t drop your guard, seniors!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when the eyes of these Bloodthirsty Skywolves suddenly turned scarlet red, looking utterly terrifying.


    Following that, those injured Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' wounds were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Those wolves had drool dribbling from their mouths looking extremely voracious as if they could shred anything into pieces!


    Only a Bloodthirsty Skywolf in such a state could be fit to bear the word ''Bloodthirsty.''


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Now it''s troublesome!"


    Senior Apprentice Brother Pang who was still guffawing earlier was thoroughly mute now. He stared at those Bloodthirsty Skywolves in a frenzied state blankly and could not resist swallowing hard.


    Those Bloodthirsty Skywolves had already stopped their attacks. Currently, the entire grass plain was dead quiet, leaving only the Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' panting.


    This was the quiet before the storm. Everyone held their breaths because they knew that the next round of attacks from the Bloodthirsty Skywolves would be even fiercer than before.


    Moreover, after that last round of melee, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' expenditure was also very great.


    But the Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' current state was like they were resuscitated with full vitality, filled with aggressiveness.


    The Bloodthirsty Skywolf gave another long howl. The hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves burst forth abruptly, like a hundred bolts of lightning charging towards the eight people.


    That speed was beyond twice as fast as before!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' figures only left behind a series of blurry shadows.


    Clank! Clank! Clank.


    Immediately after were waves of metal clashing sounds.


    After one wave of attack, everybody felt the pressure soar. Two disciples even suffered injuries to their bodies, including that Senior Apprentice Brother Pan.


    With a fierce bout of fighting, many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were already injured. Now, it could be said to be piling injuries on top of injuries.


    The scales of victory immediately tipped towards the Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' side after this frenzied transformation.


    After the frenzied transformation, the combat strength of ordinary Bloodthirsty Skywolves virtually surged twofold!


    Adding up a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves, this sort of increment would be extremely substantial.


    For a moment, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were unable to cope with the situation. There were some people who were unable to hold on very soon.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan with the lowest realm who still appeared to be doing it with ease presently by relying on the support from the transmission true intent to increase his speed after displaying Spirit Void Shattering Space.


    "Lin Chao, still not rushing up to support yet?!" Ye Yuan roared.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples had already fought for quite a bit of time for the few people from the Purple Mansion Sect. Their strength was roughly recovered 50% - 60%.


    Especially Lin Chao this Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm. Him participating in the battle would be a tremendous support to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side.


    Lin Chao saw that he could not hide from this. So he could only stand up and call for his fellow martial brothers and said, "Juniors, the Tranquil Cloud Sect seniors and juniors have already strived for a lot of time for us. Now, let''s switch with them!"


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples recalled the formation, the wolf pack would attack indiscriminately. At that time, it would also be hard for them to escape.


    They could clearly only go all out if they want to preserve their lives at this time.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Pang and Senior Apprentice Brother Du, you guys retreat inside the circle first to recover. Lin Chao, you bring a person forward to support first!" Ye Yuan said anxiously.


    "Okay!" Lin Chao did not say anything else and filled in the void left behind by Senior Apprentice Brother Du.


    But right at this moment, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    When Senior Apprentice Brother Pang was just about to withdraw, a middle-stage Tier 3 Bloodthirsty Skywolf bit down on his arm!


    "AHH!"


    A heartrending scream sounded, chilling the hearts of everyone who heard it.


    This whole trip, there had yet to be any Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple who met with an accident under Ye Yuan''s lead. So everyone was not mentally prepared too.


    Now, seeing Senior Apprentice Brother Pang falling into danger, they involuntarily panicked.


    Luckily, those Purple Mansion Sect disciples knew what to do. They rushed up to block the other wolfs.


    But after that Bloodthirsty Skywolf bit Senior Apprentice Brother Pang''s arm, it was like it went berserk and would not loosen its jaws no matter what.


    Only to hear a ripping sound. That Bloodthirsty Skywolf directly tore off Senior Apprentice Brother Pang''s entire arm.


    "AHH!"


    Senior Apprentice Brother Pang cried out again miserably, blood pouring out of his broken arm area!


    "Wannian!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Pang!"


    That tragic cry immediately roused the hearts of all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.


    "You bunch of damn beasts! I''ll exterminate all of you!" Mo Yuntian howled, his entire body''s aura erupting suddenly.


    Ti Wujiu did not say a word, but his fist wind also abruptly became violent. One could see the fury in his heart right now.


    And the same as him was Tian Yu.


    And Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 310: One Glance!

    Chapter 310: One Glance!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Ye Yuan appeared very calm on the surface, and his actions did not seem to have any major changes.


    But those familiar with him knew that Ye Yuan''s rage at this moment was getting greater and greater, just like that time when Lu-er was hurt!


    Before this mystic realm exploration, Ye Yuan and Pang Wannian were not acquainted. But during this half a month, everyone helped each other through hurdles and made deep friendships.


    Although Pang Wannian was somewhat reckless when things cropped up, he had no airs and could click with everyone.


    The reason why Ye Yuan put himself in the limelight the entire trip was in order to bring everyone back. But he did not think that such an incident would happen!


    He casually fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Senior Apprentice Brother Du who withdrew said while dealing with the wolf pack, "Quickly feed Senior Apprentice Brother Pang!"


    Senior Apprentice Brother Du was called Du Cheng, an elite disciple, same as Pang Wannian.


    They were both at the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm, but in terms of true combat strength, the two of them were ranked at the bottom.


    Even the First Level Crystal Formation Realm Tian Yu''s combat strength was much stronger than theirs. So the first ones to pull back were them.


    Du Cheng did not hesitate much and directly stuffed the medicinal pill into Pang Wannian''s mouth.


    When the medicinal pill entered his stomach, Du Cheng discovered that Pang Wannian''s injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    It was even faster than the recovery speed of those Bloodthirsty Skywolfs!


    And Pang Wannian''s complexion became a little rosier before long.


    Du Cheng was unbelievably dumbfounded in his heart. What medicinal pill is this, to actually have such effects?!


    Du Cheng was very clear on what effects the sect''s Tier 3 medicinal pills had.


    Comparing to this pill from Ye Yuan, it was simply trash!


    Recalling again to the detoxification pills that Ye Yuan took out, the effects were similarly much better than the sect ones.


    Could these medicinal pills all be refined by Ye Yuan himself? But he was only at the Spirit Condensation Realm!


    For a while, Du Cheng''s mind ran wild.


    Right at this time, he heard a splat, interrupting his thoughts.


    That sound came from over Ye Yuan''s side!


    Du Cheng looked over towards Ye Yuan''s side and saw a headless wolf corpse lying on the ground, while Ye Yuan had already put away Canghua Sword since god knows when.


    Right then, another wolf dashed towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed.


    Only to see Ye Yuan dodge slightly and lightly tap a finger on the wolf''s head.


    Without any unnecessary actions, that Bloodthirsty Skywolf scurried back.


    The next instant, Du Cheng''s pupils constricted!


    When that Bloodthirsty Skywolf landed on the ground, its head exploded with a bang.


    Another headless wolf corpse!


    Following that, he saw Ye Yuan''s profile shuttling back and forth within the wolf pack like a ghost, landing finger after finger on the Bloodthirsty Skywolves'' heads.


    Each finger Ye Yuan unleashed, a Bloodthirsty Skywolf would fall.


    In a blink of an eye, there were already over a dozen Bloodthirsty Skywolves that died in Ye Yuan''s hands!


    At this moment, it was as if Ye Yuan had become the incarnation of a god that descended upon the world. His might was without equal!


    Originally, those frenzied Bloodthirsty Skywolves did not fear death and were completely unaware of what being frightened was.


    But now, those Bloodthirsty Skywolves actually took the initiative to back away from the areas that Ye Yuan passed through!


    They were scared!


    But this sort of avoidance was futile. The areas that Ye Yuan passed through would surely leave behind one or two Bloodthirsty Skywolf carcasses.


    "En? What''s going on?"


    Mo Yuntian suddenly felt the pressure around him lighten. Initially, the frenzied Bloodthirsty Skywolves that were everywhere pressured him until he felt suffocated. But now, it suddenly lessened by quite a bit.


    There were Ti Wujiu and Tian Yu who also had the same feeling. They all noticed that the Bloodthirsty Skywolves seemed to be afraid of something.


    Now that their pressure reduced right now, they had spare energy to observe the other areas.


    It was alright if they did not look. But one look and they jumped in fright.


    The areas that Ye Yuan passed through left behind wolf carcasses everywhere!


    The Eight Gates Gold Lock Formation had already automatically dissolved following Ye Yuan''s departure.


    And each of Ye Yuan''s steps was heading over in the Bloodthirsty Wolf King''s direction!


    Those Bloodthirsty Skywolves no longer dared to go forward to provoke Ye Yuan anymore. But even so, their companions still died one after another.


    The Bloodthirsty Wolf King had already forced Mei Zhen into a desperate situation over on this side. Mei Zhen was covered in injuries right now, looking rather ghastly.


    Right then, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King seemed to have detected a thick animosity, and its movements also became sluggish.


    Seeing Ye Yuan who was walking towards it composedly, the Bloodthirsty Wolf King''s pupils shrunk. Forcing Mei Zhen back with one claw, it turned towards the direction where Ye Yuan was currently approaching him in.


    As Ye Yuan walked, he slaughtered the wolf king''s progenies.


    The originally wild and fearless Bloodthirsty Skywolves were like paper paste in Ye Yuan''s hands!


    The Bloodthirsty Wolf King''s eyes became blood-red when it saw its clansmen being massacred. An incomparably powerful aura surged towards Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan continued walking step by step towards it as if he could not feel it.


    The Wolf King actually had yet to enter the frenzied state from battling Mei Zhen until now!


    Mei Zhen was very fretful seeing the situation and shouted loudly, "Ye Yuan, quickly move aside! The Wolf King is entering frenzied state!"


    But it was like Ye Yuan did not hear it. He moved closer and closer to the Wolf King.


    Everybody''s hearts leaped to their throats. The Wolf King''s aura was too horrendous.


    The Wolf King without entering frenzied state could force Mei Zhen until he did not have the strength to retaliate. His strength after the frenzy transformation was totally not what the people present could withstand!


    But just as Ye Yuan was around ten steps from the Wolf King, a scene that nobody dared to believe occurred.


    That Bloodthirsty Wolf King actually took a step back!


    Ye Yuan casually finished off a Bloodthirsty Skywolves and took another step forward.


    The Wolf King backed up another step again!


    The Wolf King was actually afraid!


    Ye Yuan currently had a composed look without joy nor sorrow, looking just like a person who was harmless to humans and animals.


    But the incomparably powerful Wolf King was actually fearful of him!


    Ye Yuan advanced. The Wolf King retreated again!


    The Wolf King''s eyes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan. Even humans could see the fury within it. But he just did not dare to attack,


    Ye Yuan advanced. The Wolf King retreated once more!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not move. He just met eyes with the Wolf King like this, his expression calm and collected.


    The Wolf King only faced off with Ye Yuan for several breaths of time. Finally, it could not endure it and let out a long howl, then turned around and ran.


    With the Wolf King''s departure, the remaining Bloodthirsty Skywolfs naturally would not stay on anymore. They left the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples behind and also fleed.


    In a twinkle of an eye, the Bloodthirsty Skywolves that originally had powerful auras vanished to the ends of the grass plains.


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples looked at the corpse-strewn ground and looked at Ye Yuan again, their eyes showing fear.


    This person clearly only had Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, but even the Bloodthirsty Wolf King did not dare to clash with him!


    He forced the Bloodthirsty Wolf King back with one glance!


    Such a battle result was too inconceivable!


    "Ye Yuan, you''re really amazing! How did you do it?" Tian Yu asked Ye Yuan excitedly.


    But Ye Yuan did not reply him.


    Mo Yuntian suddenly noticed that something was not quite right. He walked up and patted Ye Yuan''s shoulder, asking, "You alright, Ye Yuan?"


    But what he did not expect was that Ye Yuan fell stiffly backward just like that.


    Mo Yuntian was alarmed and hurriedly went to support Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 311: Soul Jade!

    Chapter 311: Soul Jade!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Ye Yuan!"


    "YE YUAN!"


    "Are you okay, Ye Yuan?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan collapse suddenly, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were taken aback and quickly surrounded him.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, what happened to Ye Yuan? Is there any problem?" Tian Yu asked urgently.


    Mo Yuntian waved his hands to indicate to him not speak and reached for Ye Yuan''s pulse.


    After a long time, Mo Yuntian finally heaved a sigh in relief and said, "Shouldn''t be a major problem."


    Hearing Mo Yuntian said so, everyone also let out a sigh in relief.


    "Since he''s alright, then why is Ye Yuan unconscious?"


    The one asking was Pang Wannian. He ate Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill, and currently, his external injuries were mostly recovered already. It was just that that arm would not come back.


    Seeing Ye Yuan fall unconscious, he was also extremely worried.


    Previously, being together with Ye Yuan was fellow sect member relationship. But from today onwards, they were friends in adversity.


    Friendships that were tested through life and death could withstand ordeals better!


    Just now, Du Cheng roughly summarized what happened earlier. Pang Wannian had a feeling that Ye Yuan only erupted abruptly because of him.


    This could not help but move him.


    Mo Yuntian said to everybody, "Ye Yuan he used the Tier 3 strength of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame earlier, which exceeded the limits that his meridians could withstand. Just now when dealing with those Bloodthirsty Skywolves, Ye Yuan''s meridians were suffering the agony of being immolated the whole time. He actually endured it without showing the slightest trace!"


    Hearing Mo Yuntian said so, all of them were visibly moved.


    As martial artists, how could they not know the torment of meridians being burnt?


    That sort of anguish was something unimaginable by ordinary people.


    Even someone with remarkable willpower might not be able to endure it under the agony of meridians being immolated!


    Immolation of meridians, one could not faint even if they wanted to!


    Because even if they fainted, they would also wake up immediately from pain!


    But how did that nonchalant expression of Ye Yuan''s look like suffering the anguish of meridian immolation?


    Just now, Ye Yuan was like a fiendgod that had descended upon the world. That sort of overweening aura even shocked the peak Tier 3 Bloodthirsty Wolf King into retreating.


    The Ye Yuan under such a state was actually enduring the immolation of meridians the entire time?


    "Hiss . . . That''s also to say that Ye Yuan sang an empty city stratagem just now. Actually, he could no longer resist the Wolf King anymore earlier. He was just using strategy to scare him away?" Tian Yu asked in amazement.


    "Do you think that the Wolf King is so easy to deceive? That Wolf King''s intellect is completely not beneath humans. It might even be far more cunning than some humans. How could it be easy to want to fool it? When Ye Yuan was butchering the wolf pack earlier, he condensed his momentum to the limits. Even if the Wolf King entered a frenzied state, it would not dare to easily confront Ye Yuan. That''s why it chose to withdraw!" Mei Zhen consumed some healing medicinal pills and also recovered a little before saying this.


    Mo Yuntian nodded and said, "I have a feeling that even if the Wolf King really went for it just now, it might not be able to gain any advantages! Otherwise, how could that Wolf King retreat so easily given its immense intellect?"


    This conjecture from Mo Yuntian made everyone suck in a deep breath instead.


    Ye Yuan''s might had truly surpassed everyone''s understanding.


    Even the Wolf King that Mei Zhen this Sea Transformation Realm expert was helpless against was scared into retreating by Ye Yuan. This was an absolutely heaven-defying battle result.


    "Then . . . will Ye Yuan be alright?" Pang Wannian asked concernedly.


    Mo Yuntian said, "Don''t worry. Although his injuries are heavy, there is no threat to his life. After he regains consciousness, I think he''ll have ways to treat himself."


    Only then did they breathed a sigh of relief.


    Mei Zhen said, "Since that''s the case, find a place to rest for a while and wait for Ye Yuan to wake up before making a decision."


    . . . . . .


    Bright moon and few stars, there were many blurry outlines under the shadow of a tree.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. When he saw Pang Wannian''s familiar face, he forced a smile and said, "S-Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, are you alright?"


    Pang Wannian was overjoyed at first. When he heard finish Ye Yuan''s words, tears flowed instantly. "I''m alright, alright! It''s great that you woke up! You worried us to death! Elder Mei, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye woke up!"


    Everybody hurriedly surrounded over when they heard that, all trying to get in a word of concern.


    Sensing the worry from his fellow disciples, Ye Yuan felt a burst of emotion in his heart.


    "How long was I out?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "You were already unconscious for a day and two nights! Ye Yuan, are your meridians . . . okay?" Pang Wannian asked hurriedly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head, "Nothing major. Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, I''ll have to trouble you to support me up."


    Pang Wannian quickly used his remaining arm to lift Ye Yuan up. Ye Yuan retrieved a medicinal pill from his storage ring and started to regulate his breathing.


    At this time, the Tranquil Cloud Sect people spontaneously circled around him to protect him.


    While the Purple Mansion Sect''s remaining four disciples were not far away the whole time, Lin Chao''s gaze pierced through the crowd to look at Ye Yuan. Nobody knew what he was thinking of either.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan refined finish the medicinal pill. His complexion overall looked much better.


    Meridian injuries were a very troublesome matter. Under ordinary circumstances, even if there were assistance from medicinal pills, it was very hard to fully recover without several months of recovery and recuperation.


    But look at Ye Yuan''s present appearance, he seemed to have already recovered 60% - 70%.


    Furthermore, in such a short time, there was normally no way to fully refine the medicinal pill. That was also to say that he might recover as good as new very soon as the remaining 30% - 40% of medicinal pill continued to be refined inside Ye Yuan''s body!


    Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill was simply unheard of before.


    Towards such a situation, the Tranquil Cloud Sect group were already numb to it and did not have too big a reaction.


    But the Purple Mansion Sect people apparently found it very shocking. Other than Lin Chao, the other three were furtively whispering together.


    Ye Yuan got up but walked straight for Lin Chao.


    Lin Chao seemed to know that Ye Yuan would find him straight away and did not look too surprised.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye overturned the raging tides yesterday and saved the lives of the four of us. Lin Chao is deeply grateful!" Lin Chao bowed deeply towards Ye Yuan, looking rather sincere.


    Ye Yuan accepted it calmly, but said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, don''t you owe me an explanation?"


    Lin Chao was shaken inwardly, but had a confused look as he said, "Explanation? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye refers to?"


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Lin refuses to give in. Must I lay it bare?"


    Lin Chao shook his head and said, "I really don''t know what Senior Apprentice Brother Ye needs me to explain. Are you referring to the matter of deliberately dragging your honorable sect into the water? I''ve already apologized to Elder Mei and Senior Apprentice Brother Pang about this matter and compensated some natural treasures obtained during this trap as recompense. At that time, we were also at a life and death juncture and had no other alternatives but that. I hope that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye won''t take offense."


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and opened his mouth and said, "Although a Bloodthirsty Skywolf''s natural disposition is savage, it has a particular trait, and that is they are very prudent and will not leave their own territory without special circumstances! And the owner of this region is a Nine Serene Ice Lion. They chased you all the way here surely because you guys did something. Well, let me guess. Is it . . . soul jade?"

 Chapter 312: Demanding an Exorbitant Price

    Chapter 312: Demanding an Exorbitant Price


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Hearing the two words ''soul jade,'' Lin Chao''s face changed all of a sudden.


    But he remained stubborn as he said, "Haha, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I don''t know what''s the meaning of what you said. What soul jade?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly put away his smile and said frostily, "Is Senior Apprentice Brother Lin trying to use us as a shield then run off after getting benefits yourself? Originally, you guys obtaining any benefits has nothing to do with us. Even if I knew that you people obtained soul jades, I wouldn''t expose it either. It''s just that your scheming made us fall into a perilous situation and my Senior Apprentice Brother Pang nearly lost his life right there and then. You don''t think it''s over just like this, right?"


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect people were rather bewildered and did not know why Ye Yuan and Lin Chao were arguing.


    When Ye Yuan was unconscious, Lin Chao already showed his attitude adequately to Mei Zhen and Pang Wannian and apologized profusely, finally earning their understanding.


    After all, the Purple Mansion Sect group lost more than half of their people, leaving only four guys.


    Substituting anyone into that kind of situation, they would most likely choose to drag others into the water too.


    Plus, Lin Chao and the rest paid large amounts of natural treasures before the Tranquil Cloud Sect group finally agreed not to dispute anymore.


    But they did not imagine that the first thing Ye Yuan did after waking up was to find Lin Chao''s trouble.


    "Ye Yuan, what''s the soul jade you''re talking about? If it''s some inconsequential thing, then just forget about it," Mo Yuntian enquired.


    "Yeah, Ye Yuan. When you were out cold, Lin Chao already compensated us three stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs, ten stalks of Quasi-Tier 4 herbs, and many Tier 3 herbs. It''s more than enough to show his sincerity," Mei Zhen also added on.


    These things naturally could not bring back Pang Wannian''s arm, but it was already done. Even killing the four of them would not help the situation.


    Not that the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were goodie two shoes, but because the other party had Lin Chao this Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm present.


    Under the situation where Mei Zhen was injured, if he were bent on breaking out of the encirclement, it would also be very tough for the Tranquil Cloud Sect to make everyone stay.


    At that time, forget about not getting anything, they would even openly offend the Purple Mansion Sect that was second only to the Heavenly Sky Sect. At that time, it would not be fun.


    And the Tranquil Cloud Sect group including Mei Zhen did not know what item the soul jade was.


    Ye Yuan did not turn back but looked as Lin Chao as he said coolly, "Soul jades are a type of very special jade mineral, extremely rare. The reason why it''s named soul jade is that it has the effect of nourishing the divine soul! Especially to peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, this is simply an unrivaled miracle treasure! Because it can help peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists breakthrough their bottleneck and assault the Soul Sea Realm!"


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, they were all horrifyingly shocked.


    Such a treasure was way more precious than any Tier 4 medicinal herb!


    Why were there so few Soul Sea Realm powerhouses in the Southern Domain? It was because the advancement of soul force was too hard!


    Martial artists cultivated essence energy. Alchemists cultivated soul force.


    It was a paradox whether to primarily cultivate essence energy or soul force.


    To the vast majority of people in this world, cultivating both at the same time would only end up with accomplishing nothing.


    In reality, the difficulty of breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm was lower for alchemists compared to martial artists.


    But the problem was that alchemists needed to spend countless energy on the path of alchemy. There were far too many things they needed to grasp.


    Just the understanding of various kinds of medicinal herbs was an extremely profound study, plenty for a martial artist to research their entire lives.


    Alchemists still had to take into consideration the cultivation of essence energy under such circumstances. That was a virtually impossible thing.


    But to martial artists, raising soul force was too challenging.


    If the soul force did not reach a certain level, the divine soul would simply be inadequate to communicate with the essence energy sea and breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm from there!


    It was precisely because so that a treasure that could assist peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists to breakthrough their fetters would naturally be exceptionally valuable!


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, everyone from the Tranquil Cloud Sect showed heated gazes.


    What did this soul jade mean? It meant that the sect could have at least one more Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    Lin Chao''s complexion was ugly as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye must be joking. Where would we get such a treasure?"


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Each person has to pay the price for their actions! You lured the Bloodthirsty Skywolves over, and Senior Apprentice Brother Pang lost an arm because of this. Aren''t you taking it too easy to want to use some medicinal herbs to dismiss us?"


    "But . . . this is also the first time I''ve heard of such a wondrous item! We really don''t have it!" Lin Chao said awkwardly.


    But Ye Yuan pressed on harder. "Talking anymore is pointless. If Senior Apprentice Brother Lin wants to prove your innocence, please take out your storage rings to let us have a look."


    Lin Chao''s expression changed, and his face darkened at once. "Isn''t this request of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye going too far? Although my Purple Mansion Sect stumbled in this mystic realm, we''re still the number two great sect in the Southern Domain. Does Junior Apprentice Brother Ye really want to fall out with us?"


    This sort of thing like searching storage rings was a burning disgrace to a martial artist. Because hidden within one''s storage rings were secrets that many did not wish to divulge.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said, "If Senior Apprentice Brother Lin is confident that the four of you can escape, you can give it a shot. I, Ye Yuan, am not someone who indiscriminately slaughters innocent people. I can understand you drawing the wolf pack over to protect yourself. But if you think that I''m easy to bully, then you''re making a very grave mistake."


    An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist talking this way to an Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm. No matter how one listened to it, it sounded rather odd.


    But at this very moment, Lin Chao sensed an incredible pressure!


    The scene of Ye Yuan massacring the wolf pack was still fresh in Lin Chao''s memories. That sort of casual slaughtering, Lin Chao touched his heart and knew that he was unable to do it.


    Lin Chao suddenly felt a false impression, as if he was not facing an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, but a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!


    Lin Chao did not speak. He was clearly gauging his own strength whether he could disentangle himself or not.


    Finally, he still sighed disappointedly and said, "Forget it, forget it. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is more shrewd than others and is well-informed. This Lin admires! I''m afraid that barely anyone can recognize this soul jade in the entire Southern Domain. To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can guess it without even seeing it."


    As he spoke, Lin Chao retrieved a grey colored jade piece the size of a goose egg from his storage ring.


    But Ye Yuan did not reach out to take it. He spoke again, "Since Senior Apprentice Brother Lin already acknowledges it, why be so miserly? I don''t want all of it either, just half will do."


    Lin Chao''s face changed again, but he fished out another four pieces of soul jades from his storage ring, roughly the same sizes as before.


    "We only obtained a total of ten pieces of soul jades this trip. This is half already!" Lin Chao gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled but still did not reach his hand out.


    Lin Chao was on the verge of collapsing. His hands trembled as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn''t shooting a random number, right? This is really half of the amount already!"


    "Whether it is or not, I naturally have a clear idea in my mind. You just have to bother with taking them out. I definitely won''t take more!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Lin Chao examined himself that he was highly devious and was extremely intelligent. But when facing Ye Yuan, he always had a feeling of being unable to exert strength.


    From start to the end of this exchange, it was always Ye Yuan who grasped the initiative. He had never been so aggrieved before!


    With a clench of his jaw, Lin Chao took out another seven pieces of soul jades!


    "This time, it''s really half. There''s not a single piece more! If you still demand an exorbitant price, then let''s fight it out to the death!" Lin Chao was about to break down.


    But this time, Ye Yuan waved his long sleeves and put those 12 pieces of soul jades into his storage rings.

 Chapter 313: Eight Sects Gather

    Chapter 313: Eight Sects Gather


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Looking at Lin Chao''s grimacing look, Pang Wannian secretly felt satisfied.


    Previously, Lin Chao lowered himself to apologize ardently and pay compensation. Out of consideration for the overall situation, Pang Wannian grudgingly forgave him.


    But this matter of losing an arm had always been a knot in his heart.


    Plus, listening to Ye Yuan mention about the soul jade, Pang Wannian was naturally even more displeased in his heart.


    But looking at Lin Chao''s expression, this extortion by Ye Yuan was rather ruthless. Pang Wannian felt like he had gained back ground for himself and his spirit was invigorated.


    "This matter is settled. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin, are you guys going to leave on your own now, or . . ." Ye Yuan said.


    Lin Chao was dazed. He immediately shook his head and said, "Among the four of us, the one with the greatest strength is me. This mystic realm is seriously too dangerous. We''ll be eaten until not even remains are left if we move alone. I hope that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can let the four of us travel together!"


    As if afraid of Ye Yuan objecting, Lin Chao swiftly spoke again, "Rest assured, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, to be able to obtain soul jades this trip is already a tremendous harvest. We don''t want any of the natural treasures from here on. We only pray to be able to leave safely."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "We can travel together. But when we encounter problems, you must help out equally. If I find out that you guys are secretly conserving strength or purposely hindering us, I''ll invite you all to leave immediately."


    Lin Chao hurried said, "That''s of course!"


    Ye Yuan''s words directly cut off any possibilities of the four Purple Mansion Sect people fishing in troubled waters.


    Lin Chao knew that it was simply an impossible matter to want to play mind games in front of this person.


    Just like that, the party continued advancing towards the depths of the mystic realm.


    . . . . . .


    After several days, the party walked out of a dense fog forest.


    "Luckily Ye Yuan was here! Or else, we won''t be able to walk out of this ghastly place even if we walked until we die!"


    "This Confounding Mist Forest is boundless. We simply don''t know where the end lies. It''s actually an enormous entrapping formation. The person who laid out this entrapment formation truly has horrifying strength!"


    "Yeah. This mystic realm is very bizarre. Many places have man-made vestiges but at the same time seem like naturally formed. It makes people confounded whether it''s real or fact."


    This Confounding Mist Forest was an enormous entrapping formation. It was cut from the same cloth as the type that Ye Yuan previously set up to deal with the High Clarity Sect.


    If the average person got caught in this forest, they could never leave for the rest of their lives.


    Moreover, this Confounding Mist Forest was filled with jeopardies everywhere; it was a land of absolute perils. It was all thanks to Ye Yuan that all of them could walk out with only fear and no danger.


    And at this time, the eyes that Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with underwent another change.


    This young man was seriously too mysterious. He was simply even stranger than this mystic realm.


    This Confounding Mist Forest, even if that Heavenly Sky Sect Quasi-Tier 4 formation master were in here, it would not be possible to bring everyone out of there safe and sound like this. But Ye Yuan did it.


    Their group of 12 people walked for a day and night in this Confounding Miss Forest and did not even hurt a single strand of hair!


    Lin Chao did not believe that this was their luck being good. Nobody would have such good luck.


    To be able to do it to such an extent was definitely because Ye Yuan was extremely well-versed in array formations path!


    But Ye Yuan was clearly only 15 or 16 years old. How could he possibly have such profound Array Dao attainments?


    The doubts in Lin Chao''s heart grew ever more so!


    "En? You guys, look! There are people ahead! Eh, there is also a palace there!" Tian Yu suddenly said.


    Everyone looked over. Indeed, they saw a bunch of people surrounding before a gigantic palace in groups of twos and threes, discussing something. But nobody entered.


    "Looks like the Heavenly Sky Sect''s people!"


    "No, wait, it seems like the other sect''s people are all present! But . . . their Sea Transformation Realm experts all doesn''t seem to be here. I reckon . . ."


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect group exchanged glances. Especially Mo Yuntian, he was unbelievably shocked in his heart.


    He suddenly recalled the words that Ye Yuan said to him before entering the mystic realm. It actually came true!


    Sweeping a glance over, other than the Heavenly Sky Sect with all three Sea Transformation Realm experts present, there was only the High Clarity Sect''s Yu Feng left among the sects'' Sea Transformation Realm experts!


    And Yu Feng was only a First Level Sea Transformation Realm. In contrast, the Tranquil Cloud Sect really became the number two formidable sect in the mystic realm!


    And this result was entirely fomented single-handedly by Ye Yuan!


    If they did not have Ye Yuan, even if the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew that the existence of strength surpassing Crystal Formation Realm was not permitted within the mystic realm, it would also not be possible to walk until here.


    A single mishap and they might even be completely annihilated!


    And opposite, Wu Zhao had clearly discovered the Tranquil Cloud Sect group too. When he saw the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s lineup, he could not help being slightly amazed.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect brought twenty over people in here this time. Even if they made ample preparations, they had also lost five or six people.


    They even brought a Quasi-Tier 4 formation master over this trip. But even so, they still lost quite a few people when crossing the Confounding Mist Forest earlier.


    Of course, there were many people from the other sects inside. They were all brought over by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s formations master.


    But the Tranquil Cloud Sect team actually did not lose a single man!


    Not knowing why, thick jealousy welled up from the bottom of his heart!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect walked forward for some time and converged with the other sects.


    "Elder Mei has remarkable abilities, to actually bring all your disciples over here without losing a single one!" Anyone could hear the sourness in Wu Zhao''s words.


    But they could emphatize. Because the sourness in the other sect disciples'' hearts was not lesser than Wu Zhao.


    Mei Zhen said coolly, "Just good luck. Listening to the meaning of Elder Wu''s words, could it be that you''ll only be comfortable if our Tranquil Cloud Sect was completely wiped out?"


    Wu Zhao coughed dryly and said smilingly, "Not at all, not at all. I was looking at how the other sects suffered heavy casualties while only your Tranquil Cloud Sect is completely intact and felt rather surprised, that''s all. Could it be that your Tranquil Cloud Sect know some things about this mystic realm?"


    These words from Wu Zhao had the suspicions of driving a wedge between them. But this was also his habitual trick. He already used this when just having entered the mystic realm.


    But Mei Zhen replied, "Elder Wu is thinking too much. If we knew anything, this disciple of ours would not be missing an arm too."


    Everyone followed Mei Zhen''s gaze and looked over. Indeed, they saw Pang Wannian missing an arm and could not help being secretly shocked.


    Looking at things, the dangers that the Tranquil Cloud Sect experienced did not seem to be at all lesser than the other sects. Could it really be that they were only lucky?


    And right then, Yu Feng could not resist jumping out. "Elder Wu, you have to stand up for our High Clarity Sect! Ye Yuan that punk plotted and caused the death of my Senior Apprentice Brother Wang! Our hatred with him is absolutely irreconcilable!"


    Wu Zhao''s started to make his move and said solemnly, "Elder Mei, everyone should help each other in times of need after entering this mystic realm. How can you all do such a despicable thing? As the head of the Southern Domain, my Heavenly Sky Sect has to intervene a little in this matter! How about this, you cripple Ye Yuan''s Dantian, and this matter will drop here. Otherwise . . ."


    Wu Zhao still had half a sentence unsaid, but everyone was clear on his meaning.


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not cripple Ye Yuan, then that was becoming enemies with his Heavenly Sky Sect!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had three Sea Transformation Realm elders. Even if they could not exert Sea Transformation Realm strength, it was also not what the present Tranquil Cloud Sect could be on par with.

    Chapter 314: Changing Countenance!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Seeing the Heavenly Sky Sect show its stance, Yu Feng also secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    They were following behind others and serving them carefully this whole road in order to find Ye Yuan to take revenge today!


    Yu Feng knew that it was not very practical to take revenge on the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect. After all, the Heavenly Sky Sect still needed cannon fodders. But finding Ye Yuan alone for payback was nothing unjustifiable.


    Furthermore, Yu Feng could tell that Ye Yuan''s status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was exceptional for sure.


    If Ye Yuan could be eliminated, it would absolutely be a tremendous blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Upon seeing the Tranquil Cloud Sect appear in front of everyone without a single casualty, Yu Feng had a feeling that it would have been impossible for them to do it without Ye Yuan!


    With the Heavenly Sky Sect''s might, as long as they were willing to make a move, Ye Yuan would undoubtedly die!


    "Humph! What right does your Heavenly Sky Sect have to listen to their one-sided statement and cripple Ye Yuan? Wu Zhao, I''m telling you, it''s impossible to want me to hand Ye Yuan over!" Mei Zhen also had an unusually strong stance this time.


    Regardless whether it was the High Clarity Sect or Heavenly Sky Sect, they were indeed of the same virtues, wanting him to hand over the person at sight.


    If they did not have Ye Yuan this entire way, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would have been completely wiped out long ago. If he really handed Ye Yuan over, what kind of person would he, Mei Zhen, be?


    Wu Zhao flew into a great rage when he heard that. The Tranquil Cloud Sect had always lowered their eyes and been affable in front of his Heavenly Sky Sect. They had never been so domineering before.


    "Wow, grew some grit huh?! I want to see today just what you''re relying on to grow this grit! Also, your Tranquil Cloud Sect better be careful after leaving the mystic realm! Xu Jian, let''s weigh together just where Elder Mei''s resolve came from!"


    As he spoke, Wu Zhao and another elder called Xu Jian were about to join hands to deal with Mei Zhen.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s overbearingness was not without reason. Their strength was formidable, and they could send out three Sea Transformation Realm elders casually!


    To other sects, Sea Transformation Realm experts were remarkably precious. Hence, the vast majority of sects only sent one Sea Transformation Realm elder to explore the mystic realm this time.


    One of the reason was primarily still because they feared that this mystic realm would be too dangerous and that their Sea Transformation Realm elders would fall in here.


    After all, even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm died in this mystic realm. Sending Sea Transformation Realm elders over, they might not be able to retreat unscathed either.


    It was very evident that these sect masters'' cautiousness made sense. Because there were already five sects without Sea Transformation Realm elders now!


    With Wu Zhao and Xu Jiang joining hands, Mei Zhen immediately felt the pressure surge!


    How could he handle two people from the other side alone?


    Let alone the other side''s headcount was many more than this side.


    "Elder Wu, if you''re in the mood to throw your weight around here, why not rack your brain and think about how to enter this palace," Ye Yuan voiced out timely.


    Upon hearing these words, Wu Zhao''s expression involuntarily changed.


    Ye Yuan''s words had plainly pricked his sore spot.


    The reason why this large group of people were pacing around and not advancing was that they could not enter this main hall!


    Anyone could tell that there was definitely good stuff inside the main hall. But it was all futile if they could not enter!


    "You can actually see through the truth and false of this main hall?!" Wu Zhao exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What can''t be seen? Isn''t there a number of ash piles over there? It should have been left behind when you were forcefully barging into the main hall before, right?"


    Wu Zhao was shaken and thought to himself that this boy had a very scrupulous mind, to actually notice even this.


    "Humph! This main hall has an extremely powerful array formation guarding it. Even if we can utilize our full strength, we can''t enter too! Listening to what you mean, could it be that you have some means?" Wu Zhao said with a cold snort.


    Yu Feng panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Elder Wu, don''t listen to this punk''s nonsense! What method can he, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm have? Previously, Senior Apprentice Brother Wang listened to his flowery words, that''s how he fell for his wicked ruse!"


    Wu Zhao''s face turned icy as he said, "Does this old fellow need you to gesture here and there on how to do things?"


    Yu Feng''s words made Wu Zhao very displeased. Comparing him to a dead person, was this a good comparison?


    Lacking any judgment!


    He was foolish enough to be struck by lightning and still wanted to blame others for setting up a trap.


    Moreover, they were at a loss on what to do outside the main gate now. What if this boy really had a way? Wouldn''t it be severing their own prospects?


    The High Clarity Sect lost several more disciples on the way. Now, there was barely any left. Yu Feng obviously did not dare to argue with Wu Zhao. He could only shut his mouth sensibly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "What are you saying, Elder Wu? Just as this Elder Yu said, what method can I, a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, have?"


    At this time, the more Ye Yuan intentionally made himself easier to knead, the more Wu Zhao felt that Ye Yuan knew something. Because he simply had no way of entering!


    Finally reached here after much difficulty, he could not just turn back around, right?


    It was very clear that this palace was this mystic realm''s greatest treasure!


    Entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed?


    How would he explain to the sect master when he gets back?


    "Ye Yuan, if you really have a way to let us enter, my Heavenly Sky Sect can let bygones be bygones about the matter previously!"


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Don''t! You should just fuss about it. Cripple what needs to be crippled and kill what you want. Please don''t be courteous with me!"


    "You! Don''t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Wu Zhao was so enraged by Ye Yuan that his face turned green.


    With his status, talking like this was already conscientiously giving Ye Yuan a great deal of face. Who knew that this boy would not buy it at all!


    He was just about to blow his top when that formation master elder went up and whispered, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, perhaps this boy really knows something!"


    "En? How so?" Wu Zhao asked puzzledly.


    This grand array in front of their eyes had clearly already surpassed the limits of his junior''s abilities. Wanting to go in was impossible.


    Before this junior of his arrived in front of the main hall, he completely had not discovered that there was a grand array here!


    Everyone was only abruptly shocked awake when those few disciples were burnt to ashes by that grand array.


    "The Confound Mist Forest is also a humongous entrapment formation. It''s pure luck that we can walk out of there! But this group of people walked out completely without a scratch, which shows that there is definitely an able man among them. This boy has nothing to fear. I''m afraid that he has real ability!"


    Wu Zhao listened and thought to himself that this was really the case.


    When they had just entered the mystic realm, Li Zhangyu even reminded him to eliminate Ye Yuan. But he did not take it to heart.


    But such a long time after entering the mystic realm, Ye Yuan this brat was really quite odd.


    Could it be, the grand array that even a Quasi-Tier 4 formations master had no way of seeing, this boy really had a way?


    With his thought up to here, Wu Zhao sucked in a deep breath, eased his tone, and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, just now, it was me who didn''t make clear of the situation and was rather one-sided. I apologize to you!"


    Wu Zhao was advanced in years. His skin was already tempered into steel long ago, changing face faster than flipping a book!


    It was just that this face change of his also changed the color on Yu Feng''s face!


    "Elder Wu, we had a deal! Are you trying to break your word now?" Yu Feng said furiously.


    Wu Zhao shot him a nonchalant glance and said, "What deal did we have? Did I promise you anything? Wang Fan, that moron, failed to even handle a Spirit Condensation Realm. If he''s dead, then he''s dead. What''s there to feel pity for?!"

 Chapter 315: Absolute Blaze Barrier

    Chapter 315: Absolute Blaze Barrier


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Yu Feng was so incensed that his chest was about to explode!


    They followed and waited on the Heavenly Sky Sect carefully this entire trip to blaze a trail with no gains and even lost quite a number of disciples. What they exchanged for was this outcome!


    Cooperating with the Heavenly Sky Sect was indeed asking a tiger for its skin!


    "Elder Wu, are you trying to tear down the bridge after crossing the river?"


    Yu Feng had a dark face, his chest rising and falling like bellows. Evidently, this feeling of being cheated already enraged him to the limits!


    But Wu Zhao was indifferent as he said nonchalantly, "Tearing the bridge after crossing the river? Have we crossed the river yet?"


    "You!" Yu Feng nearly jumped up.


    The ''crossing the river'' that Wu Zhao was talking about was naturally referring to this palace before their eyes. However, were their contributions previously worth nothing?


    Yu Feng really wanted to fight it out with the Heavenly Sky Sect. But in the end, reason took the upper hand.


    Finding the Heavenly Sky Sect to risk his life for revenge was no different from courting death.


    Even if the seven great sects allied together, they might not gain an advantage either.


    "Good, very good! This loss, I, Yu Feng, accept it! But I''ve also remembered this grudge! Harrumph!"


    Yu Feng forcefully pressed down the rage in his heart and let out a fierce sentence.


    Except, even he himself did not believe he had any chances of avenging this grudge.


    There was no way in this mystic realm. It was even more out of the question after exiting the mystic realm!


    Although the High Clarity Sect was considerably stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect, compared to the Heavenly Sky Sect, it was much weaker.


    Wu Zhao was disinclined to bother with Yu Feng too. What was most pressing for him now was entering this palace.


    "Martial Nephew Ye, it was this Elder''s fault for any offense previously. If you have any way of entering the palace, please share!"


    Wu Zhao lowering his status like this and even his form of address towards Ye Yuan becoming so dear to the point it could be considered doing what others could not do.


    Ye Yuan saw that the heat was about there but said with a smile, "The Heavenly Sky Sect is indeed worthy of being the Southern Domain''s number one great sect. Elder Wu tolerance surpasses others. Ye Yuan admires you."


    Wu Zhao could obviously tell that Ye Yuan''s words had a hidden meaning, but he stroked his beard and said with a laugh, "Not at all, Martial Nephew Ye flatters me."


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not say anything. He slowly walked towards the main hall, scaring Wu Zhao and the rest until their face changed color!


    "Martial Nephew Ye, don''t walk forward anymore! Danger!" Wu Zhao cried out in shock.


    But Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to it and continued walking ahead.


    Wu Zhao and that formation master exchanged glances, thinking to themselves could this boy be a fool? Perfectly aware that there was a large array ahead and still colliding into it?


    But watching Ye Yuan gradually approach closer, their hearts also leaped to their throats.


    What was this boy trying to do?


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan suddenly stood still, while that initially calm air suddenly had ripples circulating with brilliance. An invisible barrier actually appeared.


    Wu Zhao''s and everyone''s pupils shrunk. Only now did they get a clear view of this large array''s true colors!


    A humongous light veil, an ambilight barrier, surrounded the main hall completely without any gaps at all!


    That light veil flowed with brilliant lights, looking very stunning. But everyone knew that an enormous danger was hidden behind this beauty!


    Through this ambilight barrier, Ye Yuan could see clearly that three large words ''Eternal Splendor Palace'' was written on that palace''s main gate.


    This palace''s aura was magnificent. Just by looking at the exterior, it appeared rather rundown. One look and you could tell that it had experienced the baptism of time.


    But this Eternal Splendor Palace was still seeping with an extraordinary aura all over the place. As long as a martial artist came here, they would surely not be able to resist that kind of temptation.


    And if they were not someone who was extremely proficient in array formations, they would not be able to even enter the gate.


    Ye Yuan turned around and looked at Wu Zhao with a smile as he said, "This grand array''s name is Absolute Blaze Barrier, a high-rank Tier 4 with extremely horrifying power. Even if a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse entered, it would be certain death too!"


    Wu Zhao and the rest were all dumbfounded with shock.


    Certain death for Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. What kind of concept was that?


    In the entire Southern Domain, the strongest person was only a Soul Sea Realm!


    That was also to say that no one in the entire Southern Domain could pass through this large array called Absolute Blaze Barrier!


    Just this large array completely cut off all of the Southern Domain''s martial artists outside!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had a Tier 4 formation master too. But even if he came here, it would probably be to no avail too.


    "Then . . . does Martial Nephew Ye have a way to pass through this grand array?" Wu Zhao asked on tenterhooks.


    High-rank Tier 4 grand array was also considered an extremely terrifying existence to the Southern Domain''s number one great sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. He turned around, raised his leg, and just took a step forward.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    Wu Zhao and Mei Zhen nearly jumped up. Because Ye Yuan''s figure entered that iridescent flowing light barrier just like that and disappeared!


    "Ah! He . . . he isn''t exterminated by the grand array, right?"


    "Isn''t this boy too rash? This is a Tier 4 grand array. He entered directly just like that?"


    "Wrong. When those people entered previously, they were burnt into ashes by extremely powerful flames. But there is no reaction at all from that boy entering!"


    The crowd who did not understand the inside story all started guessing. They did not know what happened.


    Wu Zhao really wanted to follow Ye Yuan and walk in like this. But he did not have the guts.


    Thinking back and forth, he was incessantly conflicted.


    But right then, that barrier moved again. Ye Yuan''s profile appeared in front of everyone once more!


    When everybody saw this scene, they were all clicking their tongue and marveling.


    "This Spirit Condensation Realm boy is really godly. That is a high Tier 4 grand array. He entered and exited like it was flat ground!"


    "Where did Tranquil Cloud Sect find such a monster? If they were to develop like this, what will the Southern Domain have to do with us?"


    "Hehe, I reckon that the ones who are the most worried aren''t us, right? The Heavenly Sky Sect will most likely think of ways to eliminate this boy after exiting this mystic realm! Of course, the prerequisite is that they can leave first!"


    It was evident that everyone also knew that this Eternal Splendor Palace was not an easy place. Barring no accidents, it was likely riddled with dangers!


    Ye Yuan called out to Wu Zhao, "The Absolute Blaze Barrier looks to be only one thin layer. In reality, there are innumerable twists and turns inside the array formation, far from as easy as it looks from the outside! This place is the Absolute Blaze Barrier''s sole life-gate. If you want to enter, follow in my footsteps. Don''t take a single misstep, or else, bear the consequences yourself!"


    Wu Zhao pondered for a moment and said to the formation master, "Junior Apprentice Brother Yuyang, I''ll have to trouble you to follow Ye Yuan closely. We''ll follow you and walk!"


    This formation master was called Zhao Yuyang, a Quasi-Tier 4 formation master from the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Formation masters normally had very high status in sects, because they all basically bore the mission of the sect''s final line of defense!


    Once the sect protecting grand formation was broken, the sect would not be far from annihilation either.


    Zhao Yuyang''s status in the Heavenly Sky Sect could be imagined.


    Letting him follow Ye Yuan and walk at this time was actually also taking on an enormous risk. Because Zhao Yuyang''s understanding of this array formation completely cannot compare to Ye Yuan!


    Once Ye Yuan played a dirty trick, he would naturally be the first to bear the brunt.


    But at this time, Wu Zhao could not think of any other method too.


    Musing for a moment, Zhao Yuyang nodded and followed Ye Yuan.


    But Wu Zhao said to Mei Zhen at this time, "Your Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples and our Heavenly Sky Sect disciples, one person follows another person! Elder Mei, the two of us cover the rear!"

 Chapter 316: Entering the Formation

    Chapter 316: Entering the Formation


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    This Wu Zhao was apparently a cautious person too, making the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples and the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples enter the grand array in turns. Even if Ye Yuan wanted to play any tricks, it was also impossible to bring everyone away.


    Sparing the rat to save the dishes. This was taking the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples as hostages.


    Everyone understood the prowess of the formation. As long as they took a single wrong step, they could be burnt to ashes.


    If Ye Yuan really played some tricks, the Heavenly Sky Sect could fling the fire on the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples too.


    Mei Zhen was just thinking of refuting when Ye Yuan''s voice transmitted into his mind.


    "Elder Mei, just do as they say. Otherwise, they won''t set their mind at ease to follow me."


    Regarding Ye Yuan, Mei Zhen already unconditionally trusted him. He just responded coolly with two words, "Got it."


    Then, he said to Mo Yuntian as if nothing had happened, "Just do as Elder Wu says. Otherwise, he would probably feel uneasy even when eating and sleeping! Yuntian, you follow Elder Zhao then. The rest all follow."


    Wu Zhao was also disinclined to haggle over the sarcasm in Mei Zhen''s words. He still had to do this kind of necessary precaution. Otherwise, wouldn''t he be counting money for others after being sold?


    Him being able to lower his stance to invite Ye Yuan to make a move did not represent that he could trust Ye Yuan.


    Let alone that the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect''s relation was far from amicable.


    But he already made the decision in his heart. He must find an opportunity to finish Ye Yuan off!


    Letting this boy continue developing, the future would definitely be the Heavenly Sky Sect''s nightmare!


    After the Heavenly Sky Sect''s side finished preparing, Ye Yuan lead the way in. His figure entered the Absolute Blaze Barrier once again and vanished from sight.


    Zhao Yuyan did not dare delay and followed closely behind, also disappearing in front of everyone.


    Next was Mo Yuntian, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples and Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Just like this, they entered the grand array one after another.


    The other sect disciples exchanged glances and also followed in after the two sects entered.


    They already had no other choices. They could only brave the jeopardies and the large formation!


    In front was the Absolute Blaze Barrier. Behind was the boundless Confounding Mist Forest.


    With Zhao Yuyan leading, there was simply no way for these people to walk out of the Confounding Mist Forest, let alone leaving the mystic realm!


    They could only follow Ye Yuan if they wanted to strive for this slim chance of survival!


    Yu Feng''s expression was very ugly. He had similarly fallen into a very awkward situation now.


    Seeing as the people became increasingly lesser, if everybody went in and he did not, then he could only wait to die here. Because they had no way of catching up to the footsteps of the person in front.


    Finally, Yu Feng gritted his teeth and said to the disciples, "Go!"


    . . . . . .


    Zhao Yuyang followed Ye Yuan closely and did not dare to even take a single wrong step.


    As a formation master, he could better understand the dangers of this large formation!


    As he followed Ye Yuan, he also studied this large formation.


    As a formation master, his infatuation with array formations was not beneath alchemists.


    And whether he could understand this grand array or not involved whether the Heavenly Sky Sect could leave this grand array safely or not. This also made Zhao Yuyang feel gravely responsible.


    Study it, just to understand and not crack the grand array!


    Zhao Yuyang had to follow according to the route Ye Yuan walked to deduce this grand array''s escape route!


    The reason why Wu Zhao made him follow Ye Yuan, the goal laid here.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not explain to him the mysteries of this grand array. He could only rely on himself.


    As Zhao Yuyang followed Ye Yuan''s footsteps tightly, the calculations in his brain were also operating at his limits!


    High Tier 4 grand array, it was simply impossible for him to understand if he did not risk his life.


    If he was outside the array formation, even if he was given three or five years, he might not be able to understand this grand array either.


    But now that Ye Yuan was leading the way in front, it was different.


    What Ye Yuan walked was indeed the life-gate. Zhao Yuyang could see this point when he entered the grand array.


    Hence, the process of Ye Yuan walking was also saving a portion of this grand array''s iceberg for Zhao Yuyang!


    Cracking the entire grand array, unless Zhao Yuyang could advance to become a Tier 4 formation master, otherwise, it was essentially impossible.


    But if it were just finding the life-gate, the difficulty would drop drastically.


    Of course, if Ye Yuan were not leading the way ahead, this would be an impossible task for Zhao Yuyang!


    Furthermore, this mission of following Ye Yuan to seek out the grand array''s life-gate, it also had tremendous benefits to Zhao Yuyang once he could complete it.


    Rays of light filled the skies of the grand array. Iridescent colors circulated, looking exquisitely beautiful.


    Ye Yuan strolled leisurely like in a courtyard, as if walking out of this grand array was a piece of cake to him.


    In truth, it was indeed a very simple matter.


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun was a Tier 9 formation master. Although it was only auxiliary, Tier 4 formations truly did not pose much difficulty to him.


    This Absolute Blaze Barrier might be extremely powerful in the Endless World''s Southern Domain. But placed in the Divine Realm, it was nothing.


    Tier 4 formation masters in the Divine Realm, one grab and there would be a large bunch. If Ye Yuan could not even crack this kind of array formations, then he might as well find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    Zhao Yuyang followed Ye Yuan at every step but did not notice that Ye Yuan''s footsteps were becoming progressively faster.


    His entire mind was placed on the Absolute Blaze Barrier, and he simply did not have spare time to consider other things. But the computing in his brain was clearly unable to keep up.


    Zhao Yuyang did not feel it, but the people behind clearly detected it!


    "Ye Yuan, why are you walking faster and faster?! Slow down!" Wu Zhao shouted at the top of his voice.


    Wu Zhao was shouting, but he had no choice but to increase his pace to catch up. If he got lost, then he could only wait to die.


    But Ye Yuan ignored him and walked faster and faster. After entering the Absolute Blaze Barrier, it was not up to Wu Zhao anymore.


    Zhao Yuyang had already entered an infatuated state currently and did not hear even Wu Zhao''s shouting.


    All the way until Ye Yuan vanished at the next node and Zhao Yuyang stepped on the footprint Ye Yuan left behind prior to this was he shocked awake!


    "En? What''s going on? Where''s Ye Yuan?" Zhao Yuyang looked left and right but could not find Ye Yuan''s silhouette anymore.


    Wu Zhao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said to Mei Zhen with a cold sneer, "Heh heh, that boy abandoned you all and escaped alone! Elder Mei, you all taught a fine disciple!"


    But Mei Zhen said composedly, "I think you can also tell that there''s no harm even if all of us die here. As long as Ye Yuan can exit alive, why would my Tranquil Cloud Sect need to fear your Heavenly Sky Sect in the future?"


    Evidently, Mei Zhen did not have much hope either.


    This was a Tier 4 array formation. It was already very impressive that Ye Yuan could. Trying to rescue everyone from the Tranquil Cloud Sect under the double-teaming from the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples was something virtually impossible!


    Wu Zhao''s expression involuntarily choked. His beard billowed as he glared and said, "Harrumph! Do you think that Sect Master will wait for the day that your Tranquil Cloud Sect rises? However, I''ll eradicate you all first before talking! With Yuyang here, we might not be unable to walk out of this grand array!"


    When Wu Zhao said this, every sect''s disciples were inwardly alarmed.


    Could this Heavenly Sky Sect be conniving something?


    Wu Zhao was just about to make a move when he noticed a blur in front of him. Mei Zhen''s figure actually vanished before his eyes just like that!


    Same as Mei Zhen, every single onf of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples vanished into thin air just like that!

 Chapter 317: Incurring Public Wrath

    Chapter 317: Incurring Public Wrath


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    With a swoosh, seven figures appeared in a stretch of empty space.


    "What happened? Ye Yuan, is that you?" Tian Yu shouted right after landing on the ground.


    Right at this moment, there was a blur before everyone''s eyes. Ye Yuan''s silhouette appeared out of the void in front of them.


    Tian Yu said in elation when he saw him, "Ye Yuan, it''s really you!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Who else can it be except me?"


    Mei Zhen asked in bafflement, "This array formation is abnormally profound. Being able to escape by yourself is already very hard. How did you do it?"


    Mei Zhen knew very well in his heart, for Zhao Yuyang to be able to lead everyone out of the Confounding Mist Forest, his Array Dao standards could be seen at a glance.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s Array Dao level was more impressive than Zhao Yuyang''s, being able to find the life-gate when facing a high Tier 4 grand array was already the limit, right?


    But looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, how was this his limit?


    "Great Master''s knowledge reaches the heaven. He is extremely proficient in Array Dao as well. Since I know the name of this Absolute Blaze Barrier, what difficulty is there in cracking it?" Ye Yuan said.


    Mei Zhen was thoroughly speechless. What looked to be extremely profound to him was treated as foundational studies to others.


    What was this called? This was called losing on the starting line!


    "Ye Yuan, then what about the other sects'' people?" Mei Zhen could not help asking.


    Ye Yuan said calmly, "They have no great enmity or deep-seated hatred with me, so I left them a slim chance of survival. As for whether or not they can walk out alive, that will have to depend on their fortunes. All right, we can exit the formation by walking over there. Let''s go."


    . . . . . .


    After Ye Yuan and the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people disappeared, the other people in the grand array were already all muddled up and in a mess.


    "That punk is truly too abominable! To actually leave so many of us in the grand array to run our own course!"


    "When did such a monster appear in the Tranquil Cloud Sect? If he can grow up, our Southern Domain''s setup will most likely have changes!"


    "Your mum! You''re still in the mood to bother with the Southern Domain''s setup?! We''re currently trapped in the grand array. As long as we move slightly, we''ll be burnt to ashes! You should think about how to get out! That punk better pray to not let me catch him. Otherwise, I''ll make him regret being born into this world!"


    ". . ."


    The one speaking was a Third Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. Everyone looked at him like he was an idiot.


    Even if Ye Yuan was an ordinary Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, that would have to wait until everybody got out first! Much less at this time, anyone was aware that Ye Yuan was not an ordinary Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist.


    "All shut up for me!" Wu Zhao bellowed with essence energy.


    With his shout, everyone indeed quietened down.


    Wu Zhao shouted to Zhao Yuyang from behind, "Yuyang, how is it? Can you find the way out?"


    Ever since discovering Ye Yuan''s disappearance, he had been in lost in thought.


    He only opened his mouth when he heard Wu Zhao''s yell at this time and said, "I can give it a shot. But . . . I don''t have absolute assurance."


    Hearing Zhao Yuyang''s words, everyone perked up their spirits. The hope of leaving was now all entrusted on Zhao Yuyang''s body.


    "Alright, everybody shut your mouth for me now! Yuyang, you lead the way. If you have any needs, just say!" Wu Zhao was also cutting off all means of retreat now.


    Yuyang nodded, but his mind started spinning at high speeds once again!


    His deduction of the grand array had never stopped since he followed Ye Yuan and walked until now. But currently, he already had some gains.


    One could say that Ye Yuan bringing him from the life-gate and walking until here was equivalent to revealing a corner of this grand array''s iceberg in front of him.


    And what he wanted to do now was to deduce the remaining portions!


    This job, Ye Yuan had already helped him do the better part of it.


    But even this lesser part was not so easy to complete for Zhao Yuyang.


    Indeed, after walking safely for over a dozen steps, Zhao Yuyang stopped. His brows were locked lightly as he pondered for a long time.


    Everybody held their breaths and stared at him. But Zhao Yuyang stood like this for an hour without moving.


    After an hour, Zhao Yuyang turned around and said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, it''s a crossroad ahead. One path is life, one path is death. With my abilities, I really can''t differentiate them! We . . . only have a 50% chance!"


    At this time, Zhao Yuyang was everyone''s hope. If he was exterminated from taking a wrong step, then everybody only had the option to wait and die.


    When Wu Zhao heard this, he asked, "How should the two paths be taken?"


    Zhao Yuyang casually gave an explanation about the crossroad. Wu Zhao lifted a low-level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist without a word and threw him over!


    Then, under everyone''s eyes, that martial artist was burnt to ashes!


    Everybody sucked in a cold breath. This move from Wu Zhao caught them unawares. Everyone did not react to it.


    That disciple was only at the early-stage Crystal Formation Realm. He simply had no way of resisting under Wu Zhao''s hands.


    "Wu Zhao! You . . . What right do you have to use my junior for pathfinding?!" The dead person''s senior was unbelievably furious.


    Wu Zhao looked at him coldly and said in a solemn voice, "Sacrificing him alone to exchange for a way out for so many of us. What inappropriate about it? If you feel unresigned about it, you can scout on your own! You can give it a shot how far out you can walk yourself!"


    That Senior involuntarily choked up. But he tried to argue through sophistry, "Then . . . what right do you have to grab my junior?!"


    But Wu Zhao said something that made everyone''s hearts chill. "From now onwards, if my Junior Apprentice Brother Yuyang encounters such things again, your six great sects will take turns to send someone out to scout ahead! Hence, you guys best pray that you can pick the survival path!"


    But right then, Yu Feng sneered coldly and said, "Why should our six sects all send people out except for your Heavenly Sky Sect?!"


    Wu Zhao looked at him indifferently and said, "A Junior Apprentice Brother Yuyang came from our sect, isn''t that enough? If there was no him, would you guys dare to take a single step forward? There is never a free lunch in this world! Of course, you people can also not send anyone out. But please don''t follow us! Otherwise, don''t blame me for being discourteous!"


    The great sects did not speak again this time. It was very clear that this was their only way out. They had no other alternatives!


    But Wu Zhao''s unyieldingness made the six great sects produce a mentality of being bound by a common hatred for the same enemy.


    Wu Zhao obviously knew this too. But he did not care. Now, there was only the Tranquil Cloud Sect that could threaten him. He did not mind what the other sects'' opinions were.


    . . . . . .


    A light flashed. The party of eight finally walked out from the Absolute Blaze Barrier grand array.


    Upon exiting, all the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples heaved a sigh of relief.


    Inside this high Tier 4 grand array, that sort of majestic pressure crushed them until they felt asphyxiated.


    Ye Yuan lifted his head and looked at ''Eternal Splendor Palace,'' these three words. An inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart.


    This sect was surely a very powerful sect in the Endless World in the past.


    But with the passing of time, the people were gone and the chambers empty; it was just like his father''s Medicine King Hall!


    "Be careful, seniors. This Eternal Splendor Palace is most likely not so easy to enter! This place is filled with dangers everywhere. I''m also unaware of what there is," Ye Yuan reminded.


    Finished talking, he took the lead and stepped up, pushing open the palace''s main gates!

 Chapter 318: Sword Puppets!

    Chapter 318: Sword Puppets!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    A desolate main hall, dim lighting, serene emptiness, and pressing cold air.


    "Sss . . . This grim place makes my hair stand on its ends!" Tian Yu spoke.


    A gust of icy wind blew over, making him shudder.


    "This main hall has array formations surrounding it. Although it''s deserted for a long time, it''s untouched by any specks of dust. I think that this sect had extraordinary foundations back then in the array formations path."


    From the inside to the outside of the entire mystic realm, there were virtually large formations guarding. Especially that Heavenly Thunder Gold Lock Formation. It was also an extremely powerful existence among Tier 5 grand arrays.


    "The Southern Domain is withered and decayed in terms of array formations path. Only a large sect like the Heavenly Sky Sect can nurture Tier 4 formation masters! But their Tier 4 formation masters are seriously too weak when compared to this sect." Mei Zhen sighed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Everyone, be more careful. Maybe some kind of danger also exists in this main hall."


    Actually, without needing Ye Yuan''s reminder, how could the others dare to lower their guard after experiencing so much in the mystic realm?


    "Ye Yuan, look over there! There''s a painting!" Tian Yu suddenly shouted.


    Ye Yuan nodded. He saw the painting too. On the outside, he was expressionless, but on the inside, a myriad of profanities coursed through his mind!


    He was all too familiar with the person in the painting!


    The person in the painting had a sage-like demeanor and was elegant and suave. It was just that the young man''s face had some discrepancies with the person Ye Yuan knew.


    However, Ye Yuan recognized him at a single glance. The person in the painting was precisely the younger version of the Tier 9 Formations Emperor, Lu Linfeng!


    And Lu Linfeng also had another title, which was one of the Divine Realm''s Ten Great Divine Kings: Grand Yan Divine King!


    The Ten Great Divine Kings were people who all developed their respective domains to the limits.


    Although each of their developmental directions was different, they had a common point, which was transcendent strength!


    Lu Linfeng could rely on the formations path to occupy a position in the Ten Great Divine Kings. One could see just how high his attainments in Array Dao was!


    "F*ck his grandmother! No wonder I had a familiar feeling when I entered the mystic realm! After screwing around for so long, this sect is actually the Dao teachings that Lu Linfeng that loser left behind! It''s just that he probably never imagined that his Dao teachings had already been eradicated for god knows how many years. Unexpected, oh, how unexpected. That loser actually came from the Endless World, while I reincarnated in his native land!"


    For a moment, Ye Yuan was filled with endless emotions in his heart.


    After causing a disturbance in this mystic realm for quite some time, turned out that this was the Dao teachings left behind by an old acquaintance!


    Such a pity. Your disciples and followers are no longer around. Otherwise, I''ll definitely discipline them properly on your behalf to vent this frustration in my chest. Ye Yuan thought to himself gloomily.


    The martial arts world never used age to determine seniority but used strength to rank seniority.


    Back then, Ji Qingyun was the youngest among the Divine Realm''s Divine King powerhouses. But his Alchemy Dao strength reigned supreme in that era!


    Only his father Ji Zhengyang and one or two of those old fellows from the Alchemist Association could suppress him by a head!


    Hence, Ye Yuan had always interacted with the Ten Great Divine Kings as the same generation.


    But this Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng was an old demon that had already lived for several thousand years.


    Speaking of it, Ye Yuan and Lu Linfeng even had a not too minor grudge!


    That old punk used his Formations Path Nine Scripts as a bet back then to goad Ye Yuan into competing in the Formations Path with him. The result was that Ye Yuan suffered a crushing defeat and obediently refined three Tier 9 medicinal pills for him!


    Three high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills!


    Ye Yuan refined until he was on the verge of vomiting blood back then before he managed to refine three high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills!


    In the end, that fellow sent over a sentence, "Haha, let''s bet again next time if we have the opportunity!"


    At that time, Ji Qingyun nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Although Ji Qingyun was also a Tier 9 formation master, compared to the Grand Yan Divine King, the gap was naturally not an ordinary kind of big.


    But Ye Yuan remembered this unprecedented shame until now.


    Now, he actually accidentally stumbled into Lu Linfeng''s old nest but had no way of bullying his disciples and followers; this made Ye Yuan very depressed.


    "Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan! What''s with you? Is it possible that you recognize the person in that painting?" Pang Wannian''s words interrupted Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    Ye Yuan came around and coughed dryly, saying, "That fellow looks so ugly. Why would I know him?"


    Pang Wannian looked at the painting and was somewhat puzzled.


    The person in the painting looked elegant and suave, how was this ugly?


    But he looked at Ye Yuan again. Hmm, seems like his looks was indeed slightly worse compared to Ye Yuan''s.


    Pretty boys all had such confidence!


    "This old punk, wait until I storm back to the Divine Realm, I''ll definitely find you to avenge my previous disgrace!" Ye Yuan said hatefully in his heart.


    But before he finished venting in his heart, he heard a creak. Du Cheng actually stepped on a stone board!


    That stone board sunk slightly. Everyone''s heart also sunk down!


    No one had yet to react when the 18 statues originally in the corners of the main hall actually moved at the same time!


    This time, the basket was really poked hard!


    Every person all saw these 18 statues right after entering the gate. They even thought that they were only stone sculptures.


    But currently, the outer appearances of those 18 statues actually all fell off, revealing brown skin.


    Apart from the skin being different from humans, these 18 statues were actually indistinguishable from humans!


    Ye Yuan initially also thought that these were ordinary statues. But at this present moment, another myriad of profanities coursed through his mind again!


    Sword puppets!


    18 sword puppets!


    Lu Linfeng that old punk loved to fiddle with such toys!


    When he saw these sword puppets, Ye Yuan knew that this was definitely left behind before that old punk ascended!


    The so-called sword puppets were actually doll puppets that used essence crystals to activate.


    Fortunately, these sword puppets should be the works from Lu Linfeng''s early years, only having Tier 3 strength.


    If it were the toys from after he had ascended, then it would be the end today. Everyone would have to die here!


    Ye Yuan had seen before some Tier 9 sword puppets at Lu Linfeng''s place. They were powerful!


    Furthermore, what Lu Linfeng was strongest in array formations. He could match Divine King powerhouses by using sword puppets to set up a sword formation!


    Ye Yuan even wanted to ask for a few to play with back then. But that old punk was stingy as hell and was unwilling to give even one.


    "Lu Linfeng, our grudge is growing bigger and bigger! You wait for me to head back to the Divine Realm to take care of you!" Ye Yuan was so furious that his face was contorted.


    The 18 sword puppets were swift in action and surrounded Ye Yuan''s group of eight together very quickly.


    Though these sword puppets only had Tier 3 strength, Ye Yuan knew that these 18 sword puppets definitely would not fight separately. Wanting to break them one by one was impossible!


    Want to destroy these sword puppets? The only way was to crack the formation!


    "Elder Mei, seniors, don''t move randomly. In a while when we fight, you all listen to my command. Please do not make your own decisions!" Ye Yuan said.


    Hearing Ye Yuan being so solemn, everyone also felt secretly alarmed.


    They originally thought that with Mei Zhen and Mo Yuntian around, these Tier 3 puppets were not much of a threat.


    But looking at it now, it seemed like that was not the case!

 Chapter 319: Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!

    Chapter 319: Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    The 18 sword puppets'' bodies shifted. Mei Zhen and the rest immediately felt a powerful pressure!


    But when Ye Yuan saw this scene, his expression changed.


    "Ye Yuan, i-is this sword formation? Why do I feel like each one of these guys suddenly became much stronger? But looking at their auras, it''s merely late-stage Crystal Formation Realm!" Tian Yu asked with a baffled look.


    Ye Yuan''s expression had a rarely seen somberness as he said solemnly, "Tier 3 Sword Formation, Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!"


    Tian Yu did not notice Ye Yuan''s face and only heard Tier 3 formation. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Turns out that it''s only a Tier 3 formation. That''s good, that''s good!"


    "Good my *ss!" Ye Yuan could not resist throwing out a curse word. He said, "Although these 18 sword puppets only have late-stage Crystal Formation Realm strength, under the augmentation of the sword formation, their combat strength definitely do not lose out to the full-powered Elder Mei!"


    "What did you say? You meant that these 18 sword puppets'' strength is comparable to Third Level Sea Transformation Realm? This . . . How is this possible?" Tian Yu had a look of disbelief.


    Sea Transformation Realm martial artists versus Crystal Formation Realm martial artists was complete crushing. It simply could not be made up for using numbers!


    Forget about 18 Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realms, even 28 or 38 could not possibly win a First Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist.


    But now, Ye Yuan said that the formation formed by these 18 sword puppets could clash head-on with a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist.


    Wasn''t such an increment a little too terrifying?


    But Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Heh heh, to a grandmaster of Array Dao, this is nothing impossible."


    Ye Yuan still had half a sentence he did not say out. If the present Lu Linfeng were called to set up the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, there would be nothing impressive about these 18 sword puppets directly crossing a major realm to face off with a Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    These sword puppets before their eyes were at most equivalent to Lu Linfeng''s standards several thousand years ago; weak to the max.


    Although Ye Yuan disliked Lu Linfeng in every way, Ye Yuan was still secretly convinced even though he would not agree verbally in terms of Array Dao.


    This person''s comprehension abilities in Array Dao was the absolute number one in the Divine Realm!


    His self-created Formations Path Nine Scripts was absolutely the dream treasure book of the array masters in the Divine Realm! Even Ye Yuan was unbelievably covetous. If not for this, why would he bet with Lu Linfeng?


    Ye Yuan was not a fool. He also knew that he was not Lu Linfeng''s match. But the Formations Path Nine Scripts was still tremendously alluring to Ye Yuan.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan''s attainments in the formations path were second only to his alchemy path. If he could advance another step in the formations path, perhaps he could go further along the alchemy path.


    "But . . . Ye Yuan, a Tier 3 formation should not stump you, right? After all, you even walked out of a high Tier 4 grand array easily," Mo Yuntian spoke.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I don''t have full confidence!"


    Everyone felt stifled when they heard this. Ye Yuan was like in his own home inside such a horrifying grand array like the Absolute Blaze Barrier. He actually said that he was not confident facing a Tier 3 array formation?


    This was seriously something inconceivable!


    Seemingly detecting everyone''s bewilderment, Ye Yuan said, "The comprehension of formations path is similarly divided into high and low. The same array formation can unleash completely different power in different people''s hands. Although this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation is not high rank, wanting to crack it is extremely difficult!"


    They all only came to a realization now that turns out this was the same logic as comprehending concepts.


    Except, even Ye Yuan was not confident in cracking the formation. Wouldn''t everybody be in danger?


    "Coming!"


    Everyone''s hearts tightened, only to see the long swords in those sword puppets'' hands tremble. Piercingly cold sword qi stung until everyone felt very uncomfortable.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The movements of these sword puppets were highly erratic, instantly destroying the Tranquil Cloud Sect eight people''s formation into pieces.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, dashing towards Pang Wannian''s side, pushing aside the long sword that came close to stabbing his back. But he yelled out, "Elder Mei, this place''s essence energy restriction is already gone. You can deal with these sword puppets without any shackles!"


    Mei Zhen was overjoyed when he heard that. His aura immediately skyrocketed, rising to Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength!


    Indeed, in this main hall, the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array was actually blocked!


    With Mei Zhen''s formidable strength keeping things in check, the pressure on the other disciples suddenly reduced by a great deal.


    But even so, dangers were constantly appearing everywhere around the others, including Mo Yuntian!


    Now, they finally know what Ye Yuan''s words meant. The might of this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was seriously too terrifying.


    Even Mo Yuntian this late-stage Crystal Formation Realm also felt that he was struggling hard when facing one sword puppet.


    After a few rounds, they were immediately unable to withstand it.


    These 18 sword puppets formed pairs. Each series of attack was interlinked, simply not giving their opponents any time to catch their breath.


    Moreover, the attacks of these nine teams of sword puppets actually had compounding effects. One blow was as strong as the other. Even Mei Zhen this Third Level Sea Transformation Realm did not dare to fight head-on too.


    This Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was simply infallible. Just like an integrated mass attack machine!


    From the start, Ye Yuan was running his legs off to help support his seniors.


    If not for Ye Yuan, most likely, there would already be quite a few people who lost their lives under the swords of the sword puppets.


    Currently, in Ye Yuan''s heart, he had already extended his greetings to Lu Linfeng''s ancestors countless times.


    However, this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation is incomparably profound. With Ye Yuan''s Array Dao attainments, he could also just protect himself inside the array formation.


    A sword puppet appeared behind Tian Yu expressionlessly, its long sword stabbing towards his back without any hesitation.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze grew intent. He arrived by his side with a flash and pulled hard, barely avoiding this fatal blow!


    Even so, Tian Yu was still stabbed in the shoulder by the sword puppet.


    Suffering this wound, Tian Yu''s strength would surely be heavily discounted.


    Ye Yuan was incredibly worried in his heart. At this rate, there would definitely be casualties!


    Ye Yuan''s mind spun like a drill and knew that being passive like this was not the way. He suddenly hollered at Mei Zhen, "Elder Mei, you defend the other seniors!"


    Although Mei Zhen''s combat strength was already full-blown at this time, he completely could not gain any advantage inside the array formation. Instead, he became more alarmed as he fought.


    He could sense that if he faced this array formation alone, the outcome would ultimately still be being defeated and killed!


    18 late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets could kill a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert. This was simply mindboggling!


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s howl, Mei Zhen immediately took Ye Yuan''s place without any word.


    While he did not know much about array formations, his realm was right there after all. Stepping in for others briefly was still feasible.


    "Ye Yuan, hurry up! I''m afraid that I can''t hold on for too long!" Mei Zhen said anxiously.


    The attacks of the 18 sword puppets made people''s eyes go blurry. Mei Zhen could still withstand for others temporarily, but it would be hard to avoid oversight as time passed.


    Ye Yuan dodged a sword puppet''s attack with a squat and said gravely, "Give me ten breaths of time!"


    Mei Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"


    Ten breaths, that was also the time needed to breath ten times. Wanting to find the flaw in this array formation was truly too challenging.


    But Ye Yuan had no other alternatives either. He could only burn his boats!


    Taking in a deep breath, Ye Yuan actually shut his eyes and instantly entered the Heart Like Still Water State!

 Chapter 320: Moving in and out Freely!

    Chapter 320: Moving in and out Freely!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Shutting his eyes, the surrounding happenings were imprinted within Ye Yuan''s divine soul as extremely fine details appeared!


    The orbit of the 18 sword puppets, Mei Zhen, Mo Yuntian, Ti Wujiu, Tian Yu, Pang Wannian . . .


    All of this and everything were so clear!


    The originally uncapturable traces looked so clear right now. It was just like the entire world slowed down.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yuan''s Heart Like Still Water Realm heightened again!


    One breath, two breaths, three breaths . . .


    Time trickled away. Only without Ye Yuan''s tying down did Mei Zhen feel the incredible pressure on him!


    His nerves were wounded tightly to the limits, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Because any easing up could cost a disciple''s life!


    Every breath, Mei Zhen felt like it was as drawn out as a century.


    Every breath, Mei Zhen was exhausted from running around. Saving this person the previous second, but the next second, dashing to another person''s side!


    Every breath was likewise felt endless to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s soul force spread out, capturing every movement of the 18 sword puppets.


    A sword attacked from behind. It was as if Ye Yuan grew eyes at the back, dodging easily with a slight tilt of his body.


    It was as if these 18 sword puppets formed an all-encompassing net within this area.


    What Ye Yuan wanted to do was to unravel this inescapable net!


    In a twinkle, eight breaths of time had passed. But Mei Zhen had already reached his limits in this short eight breaths of time.


    Clank!


    Mei Zhen helped Du Cheng deflect a sword, but his nerves suddenly tightened. Because another sword had already arrived in front of the one-armed Pang Wannian!


    This Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was unbelievably profound. Mei Zhen being able to sustain for eight breaths of time was already the limits. He was truly helpless against this sword.


    In Pang Wannian''s eyes, that sword enlarged continually. He used all the strength in his body to try to evade this sword, but it was already too late.


    "Am I still going to die here after all . . ." Pang Wannian closed his eyes in despair.


    Ding!


    A crisp sound sounded. The sword puppet''s sword was pushed aside.


    Pang Wannian was stunned. He opened his eyes to take a look. Turns out that it was Ye Yuan who charged out from the side and helped him deflect this sword!


    Ye Yuan saved his life again!


    "Three steps to the left, five steps forward! Follow me! Don''t walk incorrectly!"


    Pang Wannian did not have time to give thanks yet when Ye Yuan''s voice sounded beside his ears.


    No time to think too much, Pang Wannian instinctively followed Ye Yuan''s footsteps and walked.


    Three steps to the left and five steps forward. A total distance of merely eight steps, but the two of them suffered the attacks of over a dozen swords!


    During this process, Ye Yuan helped Pang Wannian resolve several incidences of danger again.


    After eight steps, Ye Yuan said again, "Move two steps back, three steps to the right!"


    Pang Wannian did not dare to delay. He continued following Ye Yuan.


    Just like that, after Pang Wannian twirled around with Ye Yuan six times, only to see his eyes blur. There was actually no more sword puppets around him!


    The two of them exited the sword formation just like that!


    "Go to one side and rest, Senior Apprentice Brother Pang. I''ll go and bring the other seniors out!"


    Ye Yuan did not wait for Pang Wannian''s reply. With a flash, he entered the formation again.


    With a few leaps and bounds, Ye Yuan arrived at Du Cheng''s side. Currently, Du Cheng''s body was full of sword wounds. If not for Mei Zhen protecting him fervently this whole time, he would probably be a dead soul claimed by a sword already.


    "Follow my footsteps, Senior Apprentice Brother Du! Take care not to get lost!" Ye Yuan said.


    Du Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"


    Ye Yuan brought Du Cheng and arrived beside Tian Yu in two or three steps. Then, he brought Tian Yu and arrived at Ti Wujiu''s side.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan finally gathered all the seniors together.


    "Seniors, follow me out of the formation first. Leave the rest to me!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought everyone to break out of the encirclement by following a set pattern.


    Fortunately, these sword puppets were lifeless objects and did not have their own will. Otherwise, it would not be so easy either for Ye Yuan to want to bring everyone out so smoothly.


    When Ye Yuan brought everybody out of the formation, the 18 sword puppets focused all of their attacks on Mei Zhen.


    Mei Zhen''s exhaustion earlier was also enormous. When everybody went out, he immediately felt the pressure rise significantly.


    "Seniors, go rest first, I''ll go and swap Elder Mei out!" Ye Yuan was about to enter the formation after he finished talking.


    "Hang on! Ye Yuan, you want to crack the formation alone? Even Elder Mei can''t handle these puppets, can you do it alone?" Mo Yuntian asked in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Not crack the formation. You''ll know in a while."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and clashed together with those sword puppets once more.


    "Elder Mei, you exit the formation first! Leave this place to me!" Ye Yuan shouted.


    "En? You alone?" Mei Zhen was flabbergasted when he heard that.


    "Don''t ask so much anymore! Follow my instructions and take your steps! Six steps to the right, one step back!" Ye Yuan said.


    Mei Zhen''s trust in Ye Yuan had already reached an unconditional extent. He immediately hesitated no more and moved his feet according to Ye Yuan''s instructions.


    With Mei Zhen''s Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength, wanting to charge outside was not hard as long as he knew the secret of leaving the formation.


    Indeed, under Ye Yuan''s directions, Mei Zhen''s eyes blurred, and he left the array formation.


    Now, there was only Ye Yuan alone left within the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!


    Ye Yuan looked at those expressionless sword puppets and said with a cold smile, "Lu Linfeng, you miser! Today, I''m going to take in all of these sword puppets of yours. Consider it collecting some interest first! And also this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, I won''t be courteous!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan shut his eyes once more and entered Heart Like Still Water State!


    Without the impediment from his seniors, Ye Yuan could experience this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation to his heart''s content.


    He only used eight breaths of time just now and barely managed to find the way out of the formation. But he was still far off from wanting to completely crack this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!


    Mei Zhen and the rest already witnessed the power of this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation but did not know how powerful this array formation was.


    But Ye Yuan knew that inside Lu Linfeng''s Formations Path Nine Scripts, there was an array formation called Greater Nine Revolutions Profound Heaven Interlocking Formation. It was evolved from this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    The power of the Great Nine Revolutions Profound Heaven Interlocking Formation was enough to slaughter over a dozen ordinary Divine Kings!


    Even when compared to the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s Nine Suns Burning Heaven, it was not any weaker!


    This array formation before their eyes was only a dead object. Ye Yuan knew that if Lu Linfeng were here presiding over it, their party would simply have no chance to escape.


    Forget about Sea Transformation Realm experts. Even Soul Sea Realm powerhouses might not be able to escape!


    That was the true strength of the Divine Realm''s Ten Great Divine Kings!


    And the current Ye Yuan was actually challenging the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng, when he was young.


    If Ye Yuan''s conjectures were correct, this array formation in front of him should have been created when Lu Linfeng was at the Sea Transformation Realm or Soul Sea Realm. Otherwise, these sword puppets would definitely not be limited to this power.


    Very evidently, the Lu Linfeng back then was not mature enough yet. The might of this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation also did not reach a heaven-defying degree.


    But even so, it was also an existence far beyond the reach of the vast majority of people.


    What Ye Yuan wanted to do now was to completely comprehend this array formation and control these 18 sword puppets!

 Chapter 321: Comprehending Formation!

    Chapter 321: Comprehending Formation!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    These 18 sword puppets were automatically controlled by the array formation, ownerless objects.


    Pang Wannian accidentally activated the array formation previously. That was why these 18 sword puppets attacked the Tranquil Cloud Sect group.


    As long as Ye Yuan comprehended the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation fully, he would be able to control these 18 sword puppets!


    If Ye Yuan had these 18 sword puppets, he would have the ability to protect himself in front of Sea Transformation Realm experts.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, facing early-stage and middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm martial artists should not pose a problem. But facing late-stage Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would be more challenging.


    As for Sea Transformation Realm experts, Ye Yuan virtually did not have any leeway to resist.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had confronted quite a few Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses. But regardless of whether it was Black Crow Old Man, Yao Qian, or Wang Fan, he drew support from environmental conditions and depended on his meticulous calculations in order to gain an advantage.


    If battling a Sea Transformation Realm head-on, Ye Yuan would have no chance of winning.


    But with these sword puppets, it would be different. Ye Yuan could even clash with Third Level Sea Transformation Realm experts by using the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation to control them.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was indeed not powerful. But under Heart Like Still Water Realm, he already had an initial glimpse into the door of this array formation.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s soul force was projected out and could capture every minute movement from the sword puppets clearly. Hence, it was very hard for these sword puppets to want to hurt him.


    Of course, the price of doing so was that his soul force was in the midst of being depleted rapidly!


    "No way right? It was unbelievably arduous for so many of us inside this array formation. Ye Yuan is doing this with ease alone inside instead?" Tian Yu exclaimed in shock.


    "Ye Yuan should have comprehended something. Otherwise, it''s impossible to be so," Mei Zhen said.


    "But what on earth is Ye Yuan trying to do? To actually bring Elder Mei out too. If there were him guiding by the side, cracking the formation with Elder Mei''s strength should be promising, right? Now, he is inside all alone. How is he going to crack the formation?" Tian Yu said puzzledly.


    "Now that it came to this, we can only believe in him. This array formation is truly exceptionally powerful. By relying on a bunch of Crystal Formation Realm puppets, even I am not a match!" Mei Zhen sighed with admiration.


    . . . . . .


    While Ye Yuan was trapped in the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, inside the Absolute Blaze Barrier, Zhao Yuyang''s entire head was covered in dense sweat beads.


    After such a long period of deduction, he was on the verge of collapsing!


    But he also knew that it was no longer far from the exit of the grand array. If he did not grit his teeth and persevere, all the benefits in the Eternal Splendor Palace would be acquired by the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Hence, he was clenching his teeth and pushing on!


    "Still missing a little more, just a little bit more! Deducing this Absolute Blaze Barrier this time has tremendous inspiration to my formation path! As long as I can tough it out, I might have hopes of becoming a Tier 4 array master in this life!" Zhao Yuyang kept on encouraging himself.


    Everyone held their breath as they looked at Zhao Yuyang.


    Walking until now, all the great sects paid a devastatingly heavy price!


    There were only two or three people left in some sects right now.


    Even the Purple Mansion Sect, one person also perished among the four of them, burnt to ashes by the grand array.


    Zhao Yuyang took another step forward. His every step affected everyone''s heart.


    The next instant, Zhao Yuyang''s face revealed wild elation!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I found the exit!" Zhao Yuyang exclaimed in joy.


    Everybody''s faces revealed wild excitement. This grand array was seriously too terrifying. One had to say that them being able to escape with their lives was by luck.


    Wu Zhao was similarly overjoyed as he said, "Haha . . . Ye Yuan that punk most likely never dreamt that we would find the exit so quickly, right? Wait until Your Father leaves, I''ll definitely hack that punk into pieces! Otherwise, I''ll find it hard to dispel the hatred in my heart! Junior Apprentice Brother Yuyang, quickly!"


    Zhao Yuyang nodded and said, "This is the final juncture. As long as we find the correct path, we only need at most two hours to be able to leave!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s soul force was being depleted rapidly. But his understanding of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was rising swiftly at the same time.


    He had the experience and knowledge of a Tier 9 array master. Although this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was extremely profound, it was merely Lu Linfeng''s work from several thousand years ago after all.


    Ye Yuan was operating from an advantageous position. Comprehending a set of Tier 3 array formation was not something very monstrous.


    In truth, his greatest obstacle was still these 18 sword puppets!


    These 18 sword puppets were too strong for Ye Yuan. Most of his energy still needed to be placed on the sword puppets.


    Otherwise, a moment of carelessness and it would be the outcome of perishing and his Dao dissipating.


    Fortunately, under the Heart Like Still Water State, Ye Yuan could take in all of the sword puppets'' actions into his divine soul to analyze and understanding, slowly comprehending the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    In reality, Ye Yuan perceived it right after entering the formation. These sword puppets'' attacks looked disorderly, but in truth, they were adherent to rules.


    These sword puppets paired up together, forming nine attack points.


    After one team finished attacking, the second team would follow up seamlessly, followed by the third team, fourth team.


    This kind of attacks formed a subtle compounding, making the attacks progressively stronger!


    When the ninth team released their attack, the augmentation of the attacks would have already reached a very horrifying degree.


    Logically speaking, when the first team unleashed their attack should be when the array formation was at its weakest. But the truth was not this case.


    These 18 sword puppets'' cooperation was unbelievably ingenious. Talking about it was slow. In fact, the time between their attacks was extremely minute. Hence, forming a perfect circle, making every attack look so powerful!


    Of course, seeing through it was one thing, comprehending the array formation was another.


    Even a more secretive array formation would have its weak points. Even a messier hemp rope would have its head. But what Ye Yuan wanted to do now was to find this head within this perfect circle!


    As the saying went, pull one hair and the entire body is affected. As long as he found where the end of this circle was, he could take control of this grand array!


    But the cleverness of Lu Linfeng''s array formation lied in that this ''rope head'' was hidden very deeply by him.


    Ye Yuan''s soul force already looked to be almost fully depleted, but he still had not found that rope head.


    Time trickled away, and Ye Yuan''s soul force was almost hitting rock bottom. His divine soul was already so fatigued that he was about to fall asleep.


    Once his soul force dried up, Ye Yuan only had the outcome of being dismembered by chaotic swords!


    "Not good! Ye Yuan, he can''t hold on much longer!" Mo Yuntian saw that Ye Yuan''s movements were somewhat irregular and immediately noticed that something was not right.


    Mei Zhen''s expression also changed greatly as he said solemnly, "Ye Yuan has only been evading up until now and did not exhaust much essence energy. Could it be . . . he has been using soul force the entire time?"


    "My god. Isn''t his control over soul force too precise? The radius it covers is only that small patch in the array formation?" Tian Yu cried out in shock.


    "What''s the point of talking about that now? No way, I have to go save Ye Yuan!" Mei Zhen could not sit still any longer. He could not watch Ye Yuan being dismembered by a mass of swords helplessly.


    Without any hesitation, Mei Zhen wielded his sword and was about to charge into the grand array.


    But just as he reached the borders of the grand array, Ye Yuan''s voice suddenly sounded out, "I''m fine! Don''t come over!"

 Chapter 322: Remnant Thought Message

    Chapter 322: Remnant Thought Message


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    Regarding array formations, fully comprehending it and cracking it were two entirely different concepts. The degree of difficulty was not even on the same order of magnitude.


    Cracking was knowing the hows. Comprehending was knowing the hows and the whys.


    Just like humans knew that it was going to rain right from the start. But understanding the reason wasted far too much time.


    One had to acknowledge that Lu Linfeng''s array formation was seriously incomparably profound.


    Even if it was an array formation that he created thousands of years ago, wanting to comprehend it was also so hard.


    Ye Yuan used Heart Like Still Water State and completely drained his soul force, but he still could not find that ''rope head.''


    Where is it? Where the hell is it?! Ye Yuan screamed inwardly.


    Following his soul force''s rapid consumption, Ye Yuan''s consciousness became increasingly blurry. All of his dodgings were now completely reliant on his body''s instinctive reactions.


    Ye Yuan felt anguished in his heart. Could this be it? Lu Linfeng, on the array formations path, I really still can''t beat you!


    Just as Ye Yuan''s soul force was about to be completely depleted, a golden text character suddenly lit up within Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    It was as if Ye Yuan''s divine soul was being stabbed by a needle and he abruptly woke with a start.


    Then, Ye Yuan discovered to his delight that his divine soul was in the midst of recovering rapidly!


    At this precise moment, Ye Yuan noticed that Mei Zhen was just about to dash into the formation to save him. That was why he hurried said, "I''m fine! Don''t come over!"


    That golden word was the simplest character in the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. For the past few months, Ye Yuan had always been contemplating this character. He only vaguely grasped some things which could not be explained clearly.


    Ye Yuan frequently felt like he had grasped something. But in the end, discovered that he did not capture anything at all.


    He did not think that the character would actually give rise to such a miraculous effect at this time!


    After several breaths, Ye Yuan discovered that his divine soul had never been so full before. It had actually reached the perfect state of Alchemy Master!


    Introspecting his own divine soul, Ye Yuan could not help being unbelievably astonished. Because his divine soul was even more perfect than his previous life''s Alchemy Master time, and even more condensed and pure!


    At this time, Ye Yuan unwittingly recalled the words his father, Ji Zhengyang, said before he left. Could this be the situation that Father experienced before his death?


    "Turns out that the divine soul of Alchemy Masters can still go a step further. Although my current divine soul''s strength is still inferior to early-stage Alchemy Grandmasters, it''s like the impurities were completely removed; being reborn anew! This is the true Alchemy Master perfection! In my previous life, I cultivated to the Alchemy Emperor realm and did not even know that the divine soul of Alchemy Masters can actually reach this step!" Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.


    "Heh, Lu Linfeng, I won''t be courteous with your sword puppets! I''ll take them all!"


    After breaking through, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Still Water State once again. And with the support of a perfect grade divine soul, Ye Yuan''s perception became even more acute this time.


    Sword shadows crisscrossed. Ye Yuan continuously stripped them, analyzed, and finally found some clues!


    "Turns out it''s like this! No wonder Lu Linfeng can affirm his Dao as the Grand Yan Divine King. Indeed, incomparable from normal people."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, his figure pouncing towards one of the sword puppets like lightning.


    This sword puppet was precisely where the crux of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation lied!


    With Ye Yuan''s formation path cultivation, he could discover the principle behind this array formation set very quickly. But finding this node expended far too much time.


    From a macroscopic view, this sword puppet was no different from other sword puppets.


    Sword art, moves, even the speed of unleashing its sword was exactly the same!


    But Ye Yuan discovered that when each round ended, the frequency pf which this sword puppet unleashed its sword would produce a trace of extremely minute fluctuation!


    It was precisely this hint of fluctuation that perfectly wrapped up the previous round of attacks and kick-started the next round of attacks.


    It looked simple, but wanting to find this hint of fluctuation within the limitless sword shadows was undoubtedly fishing for a needle in the ocean.


    Ye Yuan''s deduction abilities and perception strength was god know how many times stronger than Zhao Yuyang''s. But he nearly exhausted his soul force fully without finding this trace of fluctuation. One could tell how challenging that was.


    Ye Yuan dashed in front of that sword puppet very quickly, but that sword puppet did not detect it at all. It still brandished the long sword in its hands according to the routine.


    A series of overwhelmingly powerful attacks landed like raindrops where Ye Yuan stood but was dodged niftily by Ye Yuan.


    Right at this moment, that trace of fluctuation occurred once again.


    This was the time!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all. Canghua Sword stabbed towards the sword puppet like lightning!


    This strike was fast and accurate. But the goal was not the sword puppet''s main body, but the long sword in its hands.


    Only to hear a clank, the sword puppet''s long sword was sent flying by Ye Yuan''s sword!


    The other sword puppets were brewing the next round of ferocious attacks. At this time, all of their movements stopped abruptly, pausing in mid-air.


    "Huuu . . ." Ye Yuan put away Canghua Sword and let out a long breath.


    "What happened? Could it be that these sword puppets exhausted all of their essence energy and can''t move anymore?" Tian Yu asked in bafflement.


    "Wrong! Ye Yuan made a move earlier. That was his first time making a move. Is it possible that . . . this was caused by him?" Mo Yuntian said.


    "No way, right? The only time he attacked, and he made all of the puppets stop and cease movement?"


    "This . . . I don''t know either. Maybe he cracked this formation?"


    Mei Zhen was also very bewildered. He cautiously made his way across those sword puppets rooted to the ground like wooden chickens and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, are you alright?" Mei Zhen asked concernedly.


    "Still alright. Nearly bit off more than I can chew, haha." Ye Yuan laughed wryly.


    Ye Yuan was also holding a grudge and wanted to pit against Lu Linfeng, but nearly bit off more than he could chew.


    But looking at it now, taking this risk was still worth it. Not only did Ye Yuan control these sword puppets fully, but he also fully comprehended the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    With these sword puppets, even if Ye Yuan faced Sea Transformation Realm experts, he would also have no fear.


    Mei Zhen also heaved a sigh in relief and said, "It''s good that you''re okay, it''s good that you''re okay. Oh, right, what did you do earlier? What''s with these puppets?"


    Seeing Mei Zhen enquiring, Ye Yuan did not answer right away. Instead, he smiled and went in front of that sword puppet earlier and inserted his soul force inside.


    Although Lu Linfeng did not give Ye Yuan sword puppets, there was no shortage of bragging about it in front of him. Ye Yuan''s understanding towards sword puppets was also considerable.


    Controlling sword puppets was a task that exhausted the divine soul. Ye Yuan just had to leave his divine soul imprint inside the sword puppets to be able to control these sword puppets.


    But when Ye Yuan plunged his divine soul into the sword puppet''s sea of consciousness, his expression turned peculiar.


    A young apparition image appeared in front of Ye Yuan. Who could it be but Lu Linfeng that fellow?


    This virtual image was not Lu Linfeng''s divine soul imprint. It was only a remnant thought message that he left behind.


    It was very clear that Lu Linfeng wanted to tell his successor something through this remnant thought message.


    It was just that even if Lu Linfeng divined all of the heavens, he most likely could not have calculated that this successor would actually be the reincarnated Ji Qingyun!


    "Young friend, for you to be able to see me means that you have already acquired the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation''s true meaning and can be considered my legacy successor. If you can shatter the void and head to the Divine Realm in the future, you can come and find me to enter my tutelage. Remember, I''m Sage Grand Yan."


    Just a short message. After it finished talking, that virtual image dissipated into nothing.

 Chapter 323: Who Is Going to Die Horribly?

    Chapter 323: Who Is Going to Die Horribly?


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    "Young friend? Hehe, if you knew that it''s me who comprehended your Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, I wonder what kind of expression you''ll have!" Ye Yuan snickered to himself.


    Actually, calculating it, it was justifiable for the Grand Yan Divine King to call Ye Yuan young friend. Because he was several thousand years older than Ye Yuan.


    But in his previous life, Ji Qingyun''s Alchemy Path strength surpassed all others. He naturally had the qualifications to talk as equals with Lu Linfeng.


    But in this lifetime, Ji Qingyun had already changed his looks and face. Even if he stood in front of Lu Linfeng, he probably would not be able to recognize him.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help overflowing with a surge of mischievousness.


    If Ye Yuan really went to acknowledge master when the time came, who knew if that fellow would really pass the Formations Path Nine Scripts to him?


    But Ye Yuan was rather surprised. Lu Linfeng actually left behind these 18 sword puppets in order to seek out a successor.


    It was also uncertain whether it was a spur of the moment or deliberate.


    Back then when Lu Linfeng ascended, he probably did not think that he could attain such heights in the Divine Realm either, right?


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense moved, the 18 sword puppets stirred once again, making Mei Zhen who was by the side jump in fright as he hurriedly raised his sword to welcome the enemy.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "No need to get nervous, Elder Mei. These sword puppets won''t attack you."


    Mei Zhen was stupefied. He understood very quickly and said in surprise, "Is it possible that . . . you were manipulating these puppets just now?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I''ve already fully comprehended this array formation. Now, these sword puppets have already acknowledged me as master."


    "What? You only used four hours and already fully comprehended this array formations set?" Mei Zhen was terribly frightened by Ye Yuan''s words.


    In truth, Ye Yuan comprehending a set of array formations would not astound Mei Zhen to such an extent. But through comparison, he knew just how perverse this set of array formation was!


    The Absolute Blaze Barrier outside was a high Tier 4 grand array. Its might was unrivaled. Ye Yuan walked around inside such an array formation like it was flat ground.


    But Ye Yuan did not even have the confidence to crack the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation previously. One could imagine just how intricate this set of array formation was.


    Such a perverse array formation and Ye Yuan actually used only four hours to fully comprehend it. Wasn''t this sort of deduction ability overly perverse as well?


    One had to know that for an array master to want to comprehend a set of array formation, they would easily require several years'' time!


    Furthermore, the higher the array formation''s tier, the more time needed to perceive it.


    Using four hours to perceive a set of array formation even more complicated than a high Tier 4 grand array, this was simply not something that humans should be able to do!


    The others had also pretty much recovered at this time. Seeing Ye Yuan actually collect these sword puppets directly, they could not help being overjoyed.


    This was equivalent to their side having an additional Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!


    Everyone was just about to move a level down when a hubbub of voices sounded from outside the main hall.


    Mei Zhen involuntarily knitted his brows. "To think that they really walked out!"


    But Ye Yuan beamed and said, "They did come out. But I''m afraid that the price isn''t small either."


    Just as he was speaking, a large group of people poured into the main hall. The one leading was precisely Wu Zhao.


    Behind Wu Zhao, the other Heavenly Sky Sect''s elder was supporting Zhao Yuyang. Zhao Yuyang actually fainted already.


    Looking at this scene, it seemed that he already completely exhausted his mind in order to calculate the Absolute Blaze Barrie Grand Array.


    The moment Wu Zhao entered the main hall, he saw Ye Yuan currently sizing up their bunch composedly. The flames of fury in his heart immediately welled up.


    "Hehe, punk, you probably never imagined either that we could walk out alive from the grand array, right?" Wu Zhao laughed coldly as he said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not really. I just didn''t think that that elder from your family still has some capabilities, to be able to exit so quickly."


    Wu Zhao''s face fell. "Since we walked out of the grand array, today will be the day you die! Not only you have to die, but the rest of the people from your Tranquil Cloud Sect all also have to accompany you in death! Mei Zhen, if you want to blame, then blame Ye Yuan!"


    Finished talking, Wu Zhao turned again to the other six sects and said, "Ye Yuan gave us the slip and nearly caused you all to perish and your Dao to dissipate! Attack for me and kill these damnable guys from the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Our Heavenly Sky Sect doesn''t want a single item on their bodies!"


    However . . . nobody answered him at all.


    Ye Yuan laughed when he saw the situation and said, "Looks like you did something that infuriates both God and men in order to pass through the grand array! Now, your Heavenly Sky Sect lost all favor and still hope for them to help you?"


    Ye Yuan simply swept a glance over these group of people and knew what happened inside the Absolute Blaze Barrier Grand array.


    With Zhao Yuyang''s standards, wanting to find the exit so quickly was impossible. Unless he used human flesh to scout ahead.


    The numbers in the six sects were a bit lesser than before. This naturally affirmed Ye Yuan''s guesses.


    Wu Zhao''s expression was very ugly. He was so angry that his complexion turned green.


    He knew that he offended the other sects while he was inside the grand array. That was why he said that they did not want any of the items.


    But he clearly underestimated the severity of his actions. Not a single person actually responded.


    "Harrumph! So what? To deal with a bunch of dregs like you guys, my Heavenly Sky Sect this one sect is enough! Heavenly Sky Sect disciples listen up, follow me to kill all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples! Spare no one!"


    Presently, the Heavenly Sky Sect had the fewest losses apart from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. They still had 15 to 16 people now. The headcount was twice of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Two versus one. The Heavenly Sky Sect wanting to utterly annihilate the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not seem to be something challenging either.


    "Yes!"


    Each and every one of the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples was rolling up their sleeves for battle. Especially Li Zhangyu. He had wanted to exterminate Ye Yuan long ago!


    At this time, he took the initiative to request, "Elder Wu, leave this Ye Yuan to me!"


    Wu Zhao shot him a glance and nodded, saying, "Take good care of this punk. Otherwise, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!"


    "Hehe, rest assured, Elder Wu. I''ll make him live to regret it!" Li Zhangyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold sneer.


    Wu Zhao knew that Li Zhangyu had suffered a loss in Ye Yuan''s hands before. He naturally would not go easy.


    Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm against Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. No matter how one looked at it, it was completely the precursor to thrashing Ye Yuan!


    Although Wu Zhao had many complaints about Li Zhangyu, he knew that Li Zhangyu had real ability. His true combat strength was not inferior to late-stage Crystal Formation Realms!


    If not for this case, he would also not have been taken in as a disciple by Chi Zongtao.


    Among the junior generation, Li Zhangyu''s strength was absolutely extremely powerful!


    Except, their conversation sounded freaking hilarious to the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Many of them showed odd facial expressions.


    Finally, it was still Pang Wanniang who could not resist divulging it. "That guy over there, don''t blame me for not warning you, I advise that you better not provoke Ye Yuan anymore. Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly."


    Li Zhangyu snickered coldly and said, "Alright! I want to see just how he''s going to make me die horribly! I admit that he has some unorthodox ways, but as a martial artist, unorthodox paths will die very horribly sooner or later one day! Ye Yuan, I''m going to let you see what is called true strength today!"


    Ye Yuan was immediately ecstatic once he heard that. He said with a smile, "Alright. As it happens, I just acquired an unorthodox path toy. I''ll use you to test it out. I wonder if I''ll die horribly or not!"

 Chapter 324: Shocking Change!

    Chapter 324: Shocking Change!


    Translator: celefoata_Editor: RegiusProfessor


    While Ye Yuan was talking, disdain was written all over Li Zhangyu''s face.


    But in the next instant, his eyes blurred. 18 sword puppets appeared out of thin air in front of him.


    The expression on Li Zhangyu''s face became very interesting. That disdainful look became astonishment. Then, he noticed that his face was burning hot.


    Without looking, his face was surely red like an apple now.


    What did he say earlier?


    Unorthodox paths could not make the cut? Ask Ye Yuan to take a look at his strength?


    There were 18 puppets before his eyes. Each one of the puppets had the strength not beneath his!


    Dealing with these puppets, one or two was still fine. 18 all at once would definitely pummel him into a pig''s head!


    It was very clear that these sword puppets belonged to an unorthodox path. But this unorthodox path was much stronger than him!


    The words that Li Zhangyu said to Ye Yuan earlier sounded like he was smacking his own face right now.


    When the others saw the 18 sword puppets, they were also immensely shocked!


    18 late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets. This was absolutely an extremely powerful force. The Heavenly Sky Sect initially had the upper-hand in terms of numbers. But now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s numbers surpassed the Heavenly Sky Sect by as many as 10 in an instant!


    Seeing these sword puppets, Wu Zhao''s expression was also very ugly.


    Ye Yuan this brat''s means were truly inexhaustible, to actually take out so many late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets in an instant.


    Right at this time, Zhao Yuyang who had been unconscious the entire time gradually woke up. Seeing the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect''s swords drawn, and bows stretched, he could not help being very baffled.


    He even thought that the Tranquil Cloud Sect people already headed up long ago, but did not think that they were still at the first level after so long.


    But when his gaze landed on the 18 sword puppets, he was filled with shock and fear!


    He was a formation master. He naturally saw these sword puppets'' distinctness at a glance.


    Struggling over to Wu Zhao''s side, Zhao Yuyang said softly, "These puppets are most likely not ordinary puppets, but puppets that can execute array formations. Their combat strength most likely isn''t weak!"


    With Zhao Yuyang saying this, Wu Zhao''s expression became even uglier.


    But then, Zhao Yuyang''s face changed, and he said again, "Senior Apprentice Brother Wu, I can''t sense the grand array''s aura in this great hall! If my guesses are correct, you should be able to use Sea Transformation Realm strength now!"


    Along the way, Zhao Yuyang saw the scenes of other sects'' elders being smitten to death by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array. Only then did he sense that this mystic realm was shrouded by a mysterious grand array!


    This grand array was very covert. If not triggered, martial artists practically could not detect it!


    But Zhao Yuyang was an array master after all. As long as he sensed carefully, he could still feel a hint of array formation undulations.


    "For real?" Wu Zhao was overjoyed upon hearing that.


    Zhao Yuyang was not quite certain. He closed his eyes and felt again. Only then did he nod his head affirmatively and said, "I''m 80% sure!"


    Wu Zhao was wildly ecstatic as he said, "Haha . . . Who knows where you got a bunch of junk puppets from. Do you really think that you''re impressive? I''m going to smash those puppets of yours into smithereens today!"


    Towards Zhao Yuyang, his junior, Wu Zhao still had a lot of faith in him.


    To be able to bring them out of the Absolute Blaze Barrier, Zhao Yuyang''s standards could be seen at a glance.


    Finished talking, Wu Zhao released his aura. The might of Sea Transformation Realm was displayed fully!


    "Haha, this place really doesn''t restrict cultivation realms anymore! Ye Yuan, receive death!"


    Wu Zhao''s figure flashed and clashed together with the 18 sword puppets.


    When the other Heavenly Sky Sect disciple saw Wu Zhao attack, they obviously would not remain idle either. They charged over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side in unison.


    Wu Zhao''s aura was originally surging. He wanted to rely on his Sea Transformation Realm strength to directly blast these sword puppets into residues.


    But the moment he exchanged blows with these sword puppets, he was involuntarily dumbfounded!


    With his peak Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength, he actually did not gain the slightest bit of advantage over these sword puppets!


    "Do these puppets really only have late-stage Crystal Formation Realm strength? This . . . How is this possible?" The more Wu Zhao fought, the more alarmed he got.


    The astonished ones were not just Wu Zhao. Apart from the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples, everyone present here was speechless with shock!


    "No way! What am I seeing? 18 late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets fought to a draw with a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm expert?"


    "This is simply incredulous! I even thought that the Tranquil Cloud Sect people were dead for sure just now. I didn''t imagine that they actually had such an incredible way out!"


    "Look, you guys, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples are all faced up against these puppets! The number of these puppets are almost the same as the Heavenly Sky Sect''s headcount. Furthermore, the Heavenly Sky Sect even has a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. Both sides actually fought until they are evenly matched in strength! Is there a mistake?"


    Zhao Yuyang stared unblinkingly at the 18 sword puppets. His face turned increasingly solemn!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu, these puppets formed an extremely powerful array formation! You don''t bother with me anymore; quickly go help Senior Apprentice Brother Wu! Circle around from the sides. Be sure not to enter the array formation. As long as Ye Yuan is killed, these puppets will naturally become useless!"


    Because the other Sea Transformation Realm elder from the Heavenly Sky Sect needed to take care of Zhao Yuyang, he had not moved the entire time.


    Originally, they all thought that Wu Zhao alone attacking was ample. They did not think that such a situation would actually occur.


    Even if Elder Zhu was completely ignorant about array formations, he also knew the extraordinariness of these sword puppets.


    He nodded slightly and made use of the sword puppets and Heavenly Sky Sect disciples to block his line of vision, sneakily approaching Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan currently had all of his attention placed on manipulating the sword puppets. Wu Zhao''s strength was even stronger than Mei Zhen''s. Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to take him lightly.


    Elder Zhu circled one big round and finally pulled the distance between him and Ye Yuan closer!


    At this time, he suddenly exploded, wielding his sword as he stabbed straight at Ye Yuan''s flank!


    But the sad thing was that Mei Zhen had long paid attention to Elder Zhu!


    At the same time, Elder Zhu attacked, Mei Zhen''s figure also burst forth, using speed even faster than Elder Zhu''s to dash over!


    The two people quickly clashed together!


    Elder Zhu was also at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. It was just that he had clearly entered the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm not long ago and was slightly worse compared to Mei Zhen and Wu Zhao.


    Of course, it was clearly not very possible for Mei Zhen to want to take down Elder Zhu in a short period of time.


    But right at this moment, miserable wails from some Heavenly Sky Sect disciples whose strength were somewhat lacking sounded out unceasingly.


    Chi!


    A sword from a sword puppet pierced right through a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples!


    "AHH!"


    That disciple cried out miserably and looked like he would not make it.


    All the way until he died, he still looked at that sword puppet unbelievably. He probably never imagined that he would die at the hands of a puppet, right?


    The sword puppet had a frosty look the same as before because it was impossible for them to have any kind of expression.


    Throwing down a cold corpse, its long sword waved once more, slashing towards the others!


    Lu Linfeng''s Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was unbelievably profound. Human wave attacks were simply ineffective.


    After these Heavenly Sky Sect disciples entered the formation, apart from diverting some attacks, they were actually not very useful to Wu Zhao.


    With the first, there was a second!


    Very soon, another Heavenly Sky Sect disciple was killed by the sword puppets!


    For some time, miserably cries lingered on their ears!


    But right at this moment, an anomaly suddenly arose!


    A phantom flitted over from the grand array''s side. Its target was shockingly Ye Yuan!


    Mo Yuntian was taken by surprise, but it was already too late to try and rescue!


    "Careful, Ye Yuan!" Mo Yuntian cried out.

 325 Convinced Through Fighting!

    This afterimage''s speed was exceedingly quick. It was actually a Sea Transformation Realm expert!


    In this place, apart from Wu Zhao, Mei Zhen, Zhao Yuyang, and Elder Zhu, there was still one other Sea Transformation Realm expert!


    Yu Feng!


    Currently, Mei Zhen was held back by Elder Zhu. There was nobody else who could hinder the footsteps of Yu Feng assassinating Ye Yuan!


    Although Yu Feng was the weakest one among the Sea Transformation Realms present, he was still one of the important experts there.


    With the speed of a Sea Transformation Realm expert, no Crystal Formation Realm experts could not catch up even if they tried their best!


    A hint of ridicule flashed past the corner of Yu Feng''s mouth. He gave a low cry, "Ye Yuan, you didn''t think that you''d die at my hands, right?! High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law, Thunderous Nine Heavens! Go and die!"


    Yu Feng formed seals with both hands. Several streaks of lightning power surged towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed!


    Honestly, among so many people, Yu Feng''s hatred towards Ye Yuan was the deepest.


    Including him swallowing humiliation and taking on a heavy burden to ally with the Heavenly Sky Sect later on, as well as having Wu Zhao burning down the bridge after crossing the river, Yu Feng finally concentrated all of that resentment onto Ye Yuan!


    The way he saw it, if there weren''t any actions from Ye Yuan previously, he would not have needed to endure such humiliation.


    Hence, the instant the Tranquil Cloud Sect and Heavenly Sky Sect''s conflict erupted, he had been planning on how to ambush Ye Yuan!


    And now, he finally got the chance!


    Mo Yuntian and the rest all shut their eyes painfully. The full power attack of a Sea Transformation Realm, how could Ye Yuan evade it?


    Ye Yuan was currently thoroughly absorbed in manipulating the 18 sword puppets right now and seemed to be completely oblivious to this.


    His brows just furrowed slightly, then he continued operating the array formation as per normal.


    Yu Feng was very confident in his own deadly strike!


    Those streaks of lightning surged towards Ye Yuan, carrying an aura that made people feel asphyxiated. It arrived in front of Ye Yuan in virtually a blink of an eye.


    Just when everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, a scene which horrified everybody happened!


    Those powerful to the extreme lightning actually vanished around two feet away in front of Ye Yuan, as if it was swallowed up by something!


    And Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well.


    Yu Feng watched this scene dumbfoundedly as he muttered, "H-How is this possible? He clearly didn''t do anything at all. How can my Thunderous Nine Heavens be swallowed up? No way! Impossible! I don''t believe it!"


    Yu Feng''s murmuring became roars, then he flung caution to the winds and amassed heaven and earth essence energy!


    "High Clarity Imperial Reverence Law! Thunderous Nine Heavens!"


    Yu Feng wanted to unleash this powerful attack once more.


    However . . .


    Rumble!


    Yu Feng''s body flew out like a kite with a broken string.


    Everyone was stunned speechless once again!


    "This . . . What in the world happened?"


    "Too inconceivable! Did you see that just now? Yu Feng''s Thunderous Nine Heavens didn''t disappear, but appeared somehow from the void behind him and slammed directly onto him!"


    "You got to be shitting me, right? Yu Feng used the Thunderous Nine Heavens to cripple himself? This . . . What the hell is this called?!"


    "Yeah, I also feel like this is a joke! But that lightning power that appeared behind Yu Feng just now was clearly his own Thunderous Nine Heavens!"


    That scene earlier seriously looked rather ludicrous in everyone''s eyes. But it genuinely happened in front of them.


    Yu Feng suffered his own full-power attack while completely defenseless, heavily injuring himself!


    He coughed out a large mouthful of blood in mid-air, then fell onto the ground and was out cold.


    His ambush was out of everybody''s expectations and was also unbelievably swift and fierce. But nobody could have thought that it would actually be such a conclusion!


    Everyone used revering and fearful eyes to look at Ye Yuan, thinking that it was Ye Yuan''s means.


    But the most crucial thing was that they completely could not tell that Ye Yuan had any essence energy undulations that targeted Yu Feng!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan become mysterious and powerful in their eyes. Nobody treated Ye Yuan like an ordinary Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm anymore.


    Ye Yuan was currently controlling the 18 sword puppets with all his strength and simply could not care less about Yu Feng''s matter.


    Within the array formation, tragic cries filled the air. There were already four or five Heavenly Sky Sect disciples who were slightly weaker that died under the swords of the sword puppets.


    The more Wu Zhao fought, the more alarmed he became. He seriously could not figure out how a pair of late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets could be powerful to such an extent!


    Listening to the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples'' shrieks and wails, Wu Zhao''s heart was dripping blood.


    Having entered the mystic realm for over half a month''s time, the men that their Heavenly Sky Sect lost were not even as many as this short while!


    If this continued, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples would be slaughtered one by one by Ye Yuan!


    "You guys aren''t a match for these puppets! Quickly go out!" Wu Zhao bellowed.


    "Elder Wu, not that we don''t want to leave, but we totally cannot go out at all! Ah!" As that disciple was talking, he was stabbed by a sword puppet.


    "Elder Wu, I feel that the surroundings are all puppets, all sword shadows. We simply can''t find the way out!"


    "Elder Wu, quickly save us!"


    This was the formidable aspect of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!


    The number of puppets was clearly about the same as the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples. But each one of them would feel like there were many sword puppets surrounding them and beating them!


    This included Wu Zhao himself!


    All of the attacks interlocked, simply without any weak point to talk about. Those who did not know this array formation only had the outcome of being slowly ground to death by the sword puppets!


    Wu Zhao had already thoroughly crumbled. He originally thought that he could knead the Tranquil Cloud Sect as he pleased since he could unleash all of his strength.


    But who would thought that he did not succeed in kneading a single one from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but now, was being kneaded to an inch of his life by Ye Yuan!


    Another disciple fell in front of Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao could not bear it any longer.


    "Ye Yuan, stop!" Wu Zhao yelled out.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "You say fight, and we fight; you say stop, and I have to stop? How can something so good be true?"


    Wu Zhao completely had no temper as he hurriedly said, "Martial Nephew Ye, I, Wu Zhao, admits my fault to you, alright? As long as you''re willing to stop, any condition can be arranged!"


    "You''re the one who said it!" Ye Yuan said.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan had signs of easing up, Wu Zhao hastily said, "I said it, I said it! Quickly stop, quickly stop!"


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense stirred and the 18 sword puppets kept their sword potential and withdrew back to Ye Yuan''s side respectively.


    He was not worried about Wu Zhao going back on his words. If he reneged, then even if Wu Zhao could escape, the Heavenly Sky Sect disciples could not run!


    When the sword puppets retreated, those Heavenly Sky Sect disciples'' pressure immediately vanished, making them feel like collapsing!


    These remaining disciples were all elites among elites. Their strength among Crystal Formation Realms were very formidable.


    But facing the sword puppets, they did not even have the leeway to retaliate.


    Looking at their bodies again, the vast majority of them had injuries. Some people''s clothes were already shredded into ribbons, looking just like a beggar.


    There was no Tier 9 formation master like Ye Yuan among these people. When they faced the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, they could only deal with it passively.


    Previously, if not for Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' outcome would unequivocally be even more tragic than the current Heavenly Sky Sect!


    Wu Zhao''s expression was very ugly. His gaze when looking towards Ye Yuan actually carried a trace of fear.


    A puny Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist actually took on the entire Heavenly Sky Sect with his own strength!


    Breathing in deeply, Wu Zhao went forward and said, "Ye Yuan, state your terms!"

 326 Massive Hemorrhage!

    Inside the void, two stunningly beautiful figures stood there. They were precisely Li-er and Yan-er, master and servant.


    "Miss, you couldn''t resist making a move in the end," Yan-er said with a half-hearted smile.


    "That was a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist after all. Or perhaps I did something unnecessary," Li-er replied coolly.


    "What? You mean that . . . under that kind of situation, Mister Ye still has leeway to resist? How is that possible?" Yan-er said in surprise.


    "When I made my move earlier, I clearly felt Mister Ye''s breathing fluctuate. Although it was only that split second, I sense that Mister Ye he seemed to have detected me making a move, that''s why he didn''t react at all."


    Yan-er''s pretty eyes narrowed slightly. She clearly also felt that it was relatively far-fetched.


    "Hehe, this is really getting more and more fascinating. Even I''m also very interested in this Mister Ye now. Also, he can actually comprehend the array formation that the Grand Yan Divine King left behind. Truly an unrivaled prodigy!" Yan-er giggled.


    Li-er also smiled sweetly and said, "Yeah. I really didn''t expect that this Endless World was the land that the Grand Yan Divine King rose to power! En? Yan-er, what are you looking at?"


    Yan-er''s gaze pierced through the void and landed on Ye Yuan. She muttered, "Miss, do you feel that Mister Ye is very similar to that person?"


    Li-er''s heart jolted, her gaze also involuntarily landed on Ye Yuan''s body.


    It was fine if Yan-er did not mention it, but when she said it, she really had such a feeling.


    After a brief moment, Li-er smiled bitterly and said, "That person is already gone. How can he possibly be him?"


    "Aiya, my missus! You already said that that person is already gone. Why does it matter if he isn''t him? If we can get to the bottom of this Ye Yuan''s unknown background, I feel that he is a perfect match for you! Although he is only at the Spirit Condensation Realm now, he''ll definitely be a figure who will cause a stir in the Divine Realm in the future!" Yan-er said with a titter.


    Li-er''s gorgeous face was flushed red from what Yan-er said as she said annoyedly, "You''re not allowed to talk any more nonsense! Watch if you I don''t tear apart that mouth of yours!"


    . . . . . .


    In the great hall, everybody stared at Ye Yuan, very curious about what kind of conditions he would raise.


    To the other six sects, this sort of opportunity to watch the fun was probably the first and last time.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had always been tyrannical in the Southern Domain. It had always been them extorting the other sects.


    But today, the Tranquil Cloud Sect which ranked at the bottom actually thoroughly beat the Heavenly Sky Sect until they were convinced!


    "What conditions you have, just state them! But I warn you, don''t go too overboard! I''m only a Heavenly Sky Sect elder. I can''t decide anything for the sect!" Wu Zhao said with a solemn face.


    "Rest assured, I''m not foolish to that extent. My demand isn''t high either. Each person, 20 high-grade essence crystals according to the number of people. Additionally, I want three stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs, 30 stalks of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs. Don''t tell me that you don''t have it," Ye Yuan listed his terms in one breath.


    "What? You really dare to demand that?!" Wu Zhao nearly leaped up.


    It was no wonder that Wu Zhao''s reaction was so big. Ye Yuan''s conditions did not sound like a lot, but actually, it was demanding an exorbitant price.


    Among the Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sects, what was in circulation was primarily low-grade essence crystals.


    One piece of high-grade essence crystal was equivalent to 100 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals, while one piece of middle-grade essence crystal was equal to 100 low-grade essence crystals.


    The problem was that there were many low-grade essence crystals, but middle-grade essence crystals were much scarcer.


    As for high-grade essence crystals, there was basically demand for it but no market!


    There were still a total of ten people left in the Heavenly Sky Sect. That was also to say that they needed to pass Ye Yuan 200 pieces of high-grade essence crystals!


    This amount was plenty to purchase a 16 restrictions spirit artifact!


    One had to know that a sect hall head like Xiao Jian was merely using an 8 restrictions spirit artifact.


    For 16 restrictions and 32 restrictions spirit artifact, normally, only the sect''s sect master or grand elder level individuals had the qualifications to use them.


    But Ye Yuan said apathetically, "If you don''t have it, let''s carry on fighting all the way until we determine the victor!"


    Wu Zhao was immediately mum when he heard this. He said with a solemn face, "I''m only an elder, so how would I have so many high-grade essence crystals on me? As for them . . . even less likely!"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Doesn''t matter, just take out whatever you have. Using middle-grade essence crystals and low-grade essence crystals to write off the remainder also works. But if you''re making up for it, the quantity needs to be 20% more than normal."


    Calculating it this way, if using middle-grade essence crystals to make up for it, they would need 120 pieces; equivalent to buy five get one free.


    Ye Yuan obviously knew the scarcity of high-grade essence crystals. It was impossible for Wu Zhao to take them out.


    But as the number one great sect in the Southern Domain, the Heavenly Sky Sect was also the Southern Domain''s number one wealthiest sect. Their disciples were all obscenely rich.


    The quantity of 200 pieces of high-grade essence crystals, it shouldn''t be far off by scraping it together.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Wu Zhao''s expression eased up quite a bit. But he still grimaced in pain and said, "Then you wait a while. I have to go back and ask them if they can scrape together that amount or not."


    Wu Zhao was just about to turn around and leave but was halted by Ye Yuan. "Hang on! I said each person 20 pieces just now. It refers to each and every one of you who entered the main hall, including them."


    Ye Yuan''s finger pointed to those few Heavenly Sky Sect disciples'' corpses lying on the ground.


    Wu Zhao''s expression which had just taken a turn for the better became as black as the bottom of a pot again. He bellowed, "Ye Yuan! Don''t go too far!"


    Ye Yuan smirked and said, "I just stated my terms and conditions. You can choose not to accept. Furthermore . . . compared to their lives, I don''t feel that my terms are in anyway overboard."


    The conditions that Ye Yuan raised were naturally not spoken at random.


    He had long calculated that these terms would make Wu Zhao uncomfortable, but also able to tolerate the pain.


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the elite disciples and personal disciples would get five pieces of middle-grade essence crystals and 1000 pieces of low-grade essence crystals every month as an offering.


    But in reality, for pinnacle disciples like Ti Wujiu and Mo Yuntian, the amount of middle-grade essence crystals they had accumulated was still rather substantial.


    There was no other way. To a small sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they could only focus resources on a small number of extremely talented disciples.


    But when Luo Qingfeng introduced the Heavenly Sky Sect to Ye Yuan, he mentioned the disparity between both sides'' strength. Among it included the part about resource allocation.


    For disciples at the same level, the treatment for Heavenly Sky Sect disciples was ten times of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    That was also to say that the Heavenly Sky Sect''s elite disciples could get 50 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals and 10 thousand low-grade essence crystals every month!


    20 pieces of high-grade essence crystals each. Computing it, that was also 2400 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals per person.


    This figure, Wu Zhao and the rest could take it out, but it would absolutely slice off a very huge chunk of their flesh! Even if they still have some essence crystals left on them, it would also surely be rock-bottom.


    Adding in three stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs and 30 stalks of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs, the Heavenly Sky Sect would absolutely hemorrhage massively.


    Indeed, after some time, Wu Zhao brought back that face of his that was sullen enough that it was about to drop water and came in front of Ye Yuan once again.


    Wu Zhao casually threw a storage ring to Ye Yuan and said in an unkind tone, "This is the essence crystals and medicinal herbs you wanted! Such a large appetite, I hope that you don''t stuff yourself to death!"


    Ye Yuan smiled leisurely and said, "My appetite is perfectly fine. No need for Elder Wu to worry about it."

 327 Relying on Ones Own Ability

    Ye Yuan sunk his divine sense into that storage ring and checked over the number of essence crystals and medicinal herbs inside.


    "Only the three of us elders have high-grade essence crystals. Tallying it up is merely around 30. The remainder has all been converted into middle-grade essence crystals and low-grade essence crystals. Not a piece is missing!" Wu Zhao said with a somber look when he saw Ye Yuan checking over the inventory.


    Ye Yuan''s calculation abilities were very heaven-defying. He just briefly scanned and knew that what Wu Zhao said was not false.


    "The Heavenly Sky Sect is indeed loaded. Carrying so many essence crystals on a trip to a mystic realm. Hmm, looks like you''re short of ten pieces of low-grade essence crystals, but forget about it. Everyone says that the wealthier one is, the more miserly. It''s certainly true. Then. . . many thanks to Elder Wu for gifting these," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    Wu Zhao was stunned. He did not think that Ye Yuan just swept a glance over it and finished checking it. Furthermore, he actually even caught the missing ten pieces of low-grade essence crystals. One could see that Ye Yuan''s tallying earlier was not done carelessly.


    The essence crystals that they gave the Tranquil Cloud Sect was pooling together all the low-grade essence crystals, only using middle-grade essence crystals to make up for it if it was insufficient.


    But the number of low-grade essence crystals was just nice missing ten pieces. Wu Zhao obviously did not wish to use a piece of middle-grade essence crystal to substitute it. Moreover, it was also not possible for Ye Yuan to check so attentively.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan just scanned once and caught it.


    This punk really had some capabilities!


    Since Ye Yuan already said forget about it, Wu Zhao obviously could not really haggle over ten pieces of low-grade essence crystals with him. He snorted coldly and said, "Since that''s the case, can we discuss the issue regarding the distribution of treasures later?"


    On the surface, Ye Yuan did indeed thrash the Heavenly Sky Sect brutally just now.


    But in reality, both parties could only be considered evenly-matched in strength right now.


    If not for Ye Yuan being ruthless with his actions and reaped many Heavenly Sky Sect disciples'' lives, Wu Zhao probably would not have agreed to Ye Yuan''s terms either.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect had three Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses here!


    If he really forced their hand, Zhao Yuyang''s combat strength was not for show either, even if he was not a pure martial artist.


    But the combat strength of formation masters when compared to alchemists was much greater.


    If both sides really refused to stop unless they achieved their aim, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might not gain any advantages. This was also the reason why Ye Yuan agreed to stop.


    Although the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation was powerful, when facing the peak Third Level Sea Transformation Realm Wu Zhao, it was at best the conclusion of both sides suffering heavy losses.


    Hence, this negotiation also embodied the argumentation of the main topic.


    But Ye Yuan said, "No rush. There''s still one other thing not taken care of."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and went in front of Yu Feng.


    The present Yu Feng was already like a dead dog.


    That move previously, Yu Feng did not hold back at all, but it struck himself in full force. Now, he was on his dying breath.


    When Ye Yuan recalled that ripple in the void earlier, he involuntarily frowned a little.


    Since the beginning, he had a feeling like he was being watched. But he completely could not detect the other party at all!


    This sort of feeling made him very uncomfortable.


    However, Ye Yuan also did not expect that that person hidden in the dark would actually make a move to help him!


    The method of making use of spatial laws to draw the other party''s attack into the void was an exceedingly profound spatial concept. Its strength was definitely mighty beyond imagination!


    Why would such a character target him? Also, why would they help him?


    Ye Yuan could not figure it out no matter how he racked his brains. He had rebirthed for close to a year. The strongest person he met was merely Skymaple. When did he provoke such a formidable existence?


    But looking at it now, the other party did not seem to have any intention of being detrimental to himself. Otherwise, with his current pathetic bit of strength, he would not even be enough to fill the crevices between that person''s teeth.


    Since that mysterious person would not harm him for the time being, Ye Yuan did not think too much either. Anyway, thinking so much was also pointless.


    "Yu Feng, I originally have no grudge nor enmity with you, but your High Clarity Sect is bullying others too far. You reap what you sow. You only have yourself to blame for today; don''t blame me for it. Go in peace. As for the other disciples, I won''t do anything to them. As for whether or not they can walk out of this mystic realm, that will have to depend on their fortunes."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan spat out essence energy. A palm landed on the top of Yu Feng''s skull. He died straight away.


    Everyone''s hearts quivered. An exalted Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse was killed by an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm just like this.


    Although many Sea Transformation Realm experts already died inside this mystic realm, they were all struck to death by heavenly thunder.


    A Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse was killed in front of them. This sort of feeling that shook the soul was totally different.


    Sea Transformation Realm experts were the mid-level pillars in sects. Every one of them was very precious!


    And the might of Sea Transformation Realm was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    Sea Transformation Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm were two realms that simply could not be linked together. But now, a Spirit Condensation Realm killed a Sea Transformation Realm!


    Other than Ye Yuan, there was simply no one who detected Li-er making a move. The way others saw it, the one who used bizarre means to severely injure Yu Feng was precisely Ye Yuan!


    This also intensified their fear towards Ye Yuan.


    But when the High Clarity Sect disciples heard Ye Yuan''s words, they could not help letting out a sigh of relief.


    They did not tag along with Wang Fan and Yu Feng previously to find trouble with Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan settled the score with them, they could not get angry at all.


    Unknowingly, the only Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist present became the most terrifying existence!


    This was probably something that nobody thought of before entering the mystic realm.


    After dealing with Yu Feng, Ye Yuan dusted his hands and came in front of Wu Zhao. He said with a smile, "Elder Wu, we can talk now."


    Wu Zhao''s expression was clearly not very good. When he was trapped in the formation earlier, he completely did not notice that Yu Feng already ended up like this.


    He only found out what happened after enquiring about it just now and could not help becoming even more fearful of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was able to detect the minute ripples in space by relying on his knowledge and experience that surpassed this plane. He believed that apart from himself, it was simply impossible for the rest present here to perceive it.


    Hence, he went to finish off Yu Feng personally earlier just so to awe everyone. Especially Wu Zhao, to make him even more fearful of him.


    If he did not do so, how could he take the initiative during the negotiations?


    Wu Zhao''s face quivered, and he said, "I wonder what brilliant ideas Martial Nephew Ye has?"


    Wu Zhao originally already thought of a plan that was beneficial to the Heavenly Sky Sect and planned on saying it first.


    But seeing Ye Yuan kill Yu Feng with one palm, he somehow became slightly mortified. That was why he changed his words at the last moment.


    He asked Zhao Yuyang earlier, Yu Feng ended up like that due to being struck by his own attack. Such methods were seriously unthinkable, leaving him unable to grasp Ye Yuan''s foundation.


    If Ye Yuan really had such means and did this at a crucial moment, wouldn''t he also be beaten to death by himself?


    Looking at Yu Feng''s appearance, Wu Zhao felt that this sort of death was seriously too vexing.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Far from a brilliant idea. Everyone relies on their own abilities then! I feel that since everybody went through life and death to come here, we can''t very well let everyone return empty-handed, right? Therefore . . . after heading up to the second level, everyone will rely on your own means and own capabilities. Whoever finds anything will belong to them. What does Elder Wu think?"

 328 Restrictions Compass

    When Ye Yuan finished saying this, the faces of the other six sects could not help revealing great joy.


    Presently, only the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect had Sea Transformation Realms holding down the fort among the Eight Great Sects. They all thought that they no longer had anything to do with this. But they did not think that Ye Yuan was actually so kind-hearted to even give them a share of the broth!


    While they were thrilled, Wu Zhao was displeased. "How can that do! If that''s the case, what if they obtain some heaven-defying treasure? Wouldn''t there not be our share?"


    The six sects were originally unhappy with Wu Zhao already. With him saying these words, everyone greeted his ancestors all the more so in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since Elder Wu doesn''t agree, then you give your opinion."


    Wu Zhao hastily said, "Since only our two sects have Sea Transformation Realms now, then obviously the two of us split the treasures! In my opinion, let''s divide the treasures according to the number of Sea Transformation Realm."


    When Wu Zhao said this, he was even more so cussed quietly by the six sects'' disciples. Except, they did not have Sea Transformation Realm elders holding down the fort now. They dared to get angry, but dare not voice out.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is Elder Wu kidding me? Your Heavenly Sky Sect have three Sea Transformation Realms while my Tranquil Cloud Sect only has one. You mean that you get three parts while I get one?"


    "How so? Although you''re not a Sea Transformation Realm, these puppets you control have Sea Transformation Realm combat strength. Naturally, you also get a share!" Wu Zhao hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Elder Wu, don''t be too merciless when doing things. Since your Heavenly Sky Sect invited everyone to explore the mystic realm together, you got to give everybody an account. We eat the meat, but we got to at least give people some soup to drink. How about this, our two sects take 40% of the treasure obtained. The remainder 20% will be given to their six sects to divide equally. On choosing treasures, our two sects have priority."


    "No can do! We have three Sea Transformation Realms. If we really fought to the bitter end, you guys might not gain any advantage. Why should we split equally with you?" Wu Zhao immediately rejected.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed, but his tone became frosty. "Since that''s the case, then that means the negotiations fell out? Fine then. Let''s showcase our true abilities and talk after we finish fighting!"


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan really displayed a stance like he wanted to fight and mobilized the sword puppets again.


    Wu Zhao did not expect Ye Yuan to fight at once and was taken aback.


    Ye Yuan was fully confident while Wu Zhao was simply unable to grasp his foundation. How would he dare to make a move?


    "Hang on, hang on! Already at this time, what''s there to fight about? Wouldn''t we let others benefit if we cause heavy losses to both sides?" Wu Zhao hastily said.


    Him saying this was already showing weakness.


    But Ye Yuan still behaved like he wanted to risk his life and said icily, "Since Elder Wu say that we don''t have the qualifications to split the treasures evenly, then I obviously have to weigh up my own strength. If we really can''t beat you guys, then there''s no harm in you all taking a bit more!"


    Wu Zhao was thoroughly defeated. He could only say, "Alright then, alright, have it your way!"


    With Wu Zhao yielding, everyone also let out a long breath.


    Especially the six sects'' disciples who were ecstatic with joy. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with gratitude.


    They were certain that if not for Ye Yuan, forget about drinking soup, they would not even be able to drink the swill!


    Although they only had 20% of the treasures, it was more or less not considered returning empty-handed. This mystic realm was dangerous, but the good stuff should not be few. Perhaps they could dredge out some nice treasures.


    "Nice. Isn''t everybody happy like this? Why must you make everyone part on bad terms?" Ye Yuan grumbled as he put away the sword puppets.


    Wu Zhao was dejected and thought to himself, I was just fighting with you verbally, okay? Who knew that you would want to attack at a single disagreement?


    Wasn''t negotiations all done like this?


    You were the one who didn''t play your cards according to convention. Now, you''re actually blaming me?


    "But let''s make things clear first. If there are two treasures of the same grade, everyone split equally. But if there is only one, it will belong to whoever gets it. But they must compensate the party that didn''t get it!" Wu Zhao supplemented.


    Ye Yuan nodded. He naturally did not have any objection to this.


    Everything was set. Everyone naturally ceased fighting and regrouped.


    But nobody noticed that in the Purple Mansion Sect''s camp, there was already a person missing since who knew when . . .


    . . . . . .


    When Ye Yuan and the rest headed to the Eternal Splendor Palace''s second floor, a silhouette appeared in a hidden side-hall on the first level.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would instantly identify that this person was shockingly the Purple Mansion Sect''s Lin Chao!


    This side-hall was highly obscured. After Ye Yuan and the rest entered the Eternal Splendor Palace, they completely did not discover this place.


    But Lin Chao actually looked very familiar with this place.


    He was scanning left and right, looking everywhere in the side-hall, as if he was searching for something.


    Roughly the time it took to brew a pot of tea later, Lin Chao touched a landscape painting on the wall and discovered that it could not be shifted and was immediately elated.


    Lin Chao took a step back, both hands forming a peculiar seal, and fired it onto the landscape painting. The landscape painting actually reflected that seal onto the center of the floor of the side-hall.


    Creak.


    The next instant, a large hole actually fissured on the floor, revealing a passage!


    When Lin Chao saw the situation, his face revealed wild elation!


    "Hahaha! Our Purple Mansion Sect endured hardships to plan for retaliation for thousands of years! We finally found it!"


    As he spoke, Lin Chao''s figure leaped and entered that pitch-black passageway.


    . . . . . .


    Only after Ye Yuan and the rest headed up the second floor of the Eternal Splendor Palace did everyone discover that the second level''s space was much larger than the first floor. This was clearly the use of some spatial array formation.


    One could tell from this that this Eternal Splendor Place was undeniably an extremely powerful sect back then.


    In the Endless World, anything that touched upon spatial concept was all extremely powerful existences.


    What was different from the first level was that the second level had quite a number of rooms.


    Even if these more than 30 people split up to search, they would likely need two hours too.


    Due to the hidden nature of the rooms, the division of treasures was also a huge problem. If everyone placed the items inside their own storage rings and not hand it over, what freaking treasure was there to split at the end?


    "What do you think, Ye Yuan?" Wu Zhao looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Wu probably has a plan already, right? Just say it out."


    Wu Zhao nodded his head and fished out a compass-like thing from his storage ring. Ye Yuan fixed his eyes on it. It was actually a 16 restrictions spirit artifact!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect was indeed loaded as hell! 16 restriction spirit artifacts could be casually brought outside.


    Wu Zhao surveyed everyone and said, "This is my Heavenly Sky Sect''s 16 restrictions spirit artifact, the Restrictions Compass. It has a function, and that is to plant restrictions on objects. As long as this restriction is touched, the Restrictions Compass will react to a certain extent! Hence, everyone, please hand over your storage rings now to let the Restrictions Compass place a miniature restriction. If you put treasures in your storage rings, the Restrictions Compass will know. At that time, he will be everybody''s common enemy!"


    Ye Yuan looked at the Restrictions Compass rather amusedly. This highly obscure auxiliary spirit artifact truly had some capabilities.

 329 Tier 5 Medicinal Cauldron!

    The 16 restrictions spirit artifact should not be Wu Zhao''s own personal belonging.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect really took things into consideration very thoroughly for the sake of exploring this mystic realm. They actually even anticipated this kind of scenario.


    Seemed like the Heavenly Sky Sect was well-deserved to be the Southern Domain''s number one great sect. They had quite a few capable people.


    Wu Zhao finished talking and involuntarily looked at Ye Yuan. He was clearly seeking his opinion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and took out his three storage rings and tossed them to Wu Zhao. "Since Elder Wu already worked everything out so carefully, how can I disagree? I also feel that this way is rather fair."


    Wu Zhao reached over and received Ye Yuan''s storage rings, placing them one by one into the Restriction Compass''s opening.


    Very soon, those three storage rings were placed under restrictions and appeared in Wu Zhao''s hands once again.


    Wu Zhao threw the storage rings back to Ye Yuan and said, "Apart from placing the restriction, I didn''t touch your storage rings. Take a look yourself."


    Ye Yuan swept with his divine sense and said smilingly, "I can set my mind at ease when Elder Wu does things."


    With Ye Yuan leading, the others naturally would not say anything else. They took out their storage rings in succession and passed them to Wu Zhao.


    "Since this spirit artifact is called Restrictions Compass, it naturally has a search function other than placing restrictions. I''ve already set it up. If I find out that anyone secretly hid storage rings, don''t blame me for being discourteous!" Wu Zhao said solemnly as he placed restrictions for other people''s storage rings.


    With him saying that, many people''s faces changed and took out their hidden storage rings unwillingly.


    Majority of the sect disciples used magic artifact rank storage rings; not considered valuable. It was normal for a person to have quite a few.


    Spirit artifact rank storage rings would be extremely rare items.


    Ye Yuan only had three storage rings on him and were already all placed under restriction by Wu Zhao.


    But Wu Zhao probably never imagined that Ye Yuan still had a spatial spirit artifact on him apart from storage rings!


    The rank of the spatial spirit artifact was much higher than the Restrictions Compass. Even if the Restrictions Compass had a detecting function, it was also not possible to probe out.


    This Restrictions Compass of Wu Zhao indeed prevented everyone from secretly stashing treasures to the greatest extent. However . . . Ye Yuan was not subjected to the restrictions.


    Wu Zhao placed everyone''s storage rings under restriction very quickly. Then, he casually took out a stack of storage rings and distributed them to everybody.


    "These are all precious artifact grade storage rings. It''s sufficient for everybody to use this to store treasures. Now, everyone split up and go seek out treasures yourselves. In the end, you still have to gather back here. At that time, split according to the ratios that we agreed upon," Wu Zhao said.


    When Wu Zhao finished talking, they all nodded their heads.


    Such a distribution manner, the more treasures everybody found, the greater the amount each team naturally could get. Hence, no need to fear that they would not put in the effort.


    Ye Yuan spoke at this time, "Since the preparation works are all done, we can also start seeking treasures now. Elder Mei, I won''t follow you guys this time. You all be more careful. This sect has quite a bit of foundation in terms of the array formations path. Don''t be impatient when encountering any treasure. Always put safety first."


    Mei Zhen nodded and said, "Alright. You be careful too."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan left alone.


    . . . . . .


    Coming to a place with nobody, Ye Yuan''s finger twitched, and the cat-like White Light immediately appeared before him.


    White Light had not seen Ye Yuan for quite some time. He jumped on Ye Yuan''s shoulder directly and extended its tongue to lick Ye Yuan''s face.


    "Alright, alright, it wasn''t very convenient these few days, so I didn''t let you out. It''s now time for you to display your talents fully. There should be quite a few nice treasures here. Bring me to hunt them all out!" Ye Yuan pulled White Light off and said.


    White Light also perked up when it heard it. Roaring softly twice, it turned into a beam of light and ran off.


    Ye Yuan was also taken aback by White Light''s speed. This little fellow was indeed worthy of the name of White Light.


    With his current speed, ordinary Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists most likely could not catch up at all!


    And White Light''s cultivation speed was also highly outrageous. It was also middle-stage Tier 2, going to break through to late-stage Tier 2 very soon.


    But Ye Yuan''s movement technique was not slow either. Executing Spirit Void Shattering Space, he caught up very quickly.


    White Light arrived at a slightly hidden room with a couple of bounds.


    Ye Yuan pushed open the door cautiously and could not help showing a thrilled look.


    This place was actually a pill refining room!


    What made Ye Yuan excited was that a square medicinal cauldron was placed in the center of the refining room!


    Ye Yuan recognized with a single glance that this was a Tier 5 medicinal cauldron!


    He did not think that this inconspicuous room would actually have a Tier 5 item.


    To an alchemist, medicinal cauldrons were their lives.


    Ever since rebirth, Ye Yuan had never had a handy medicinal cauldron of his own. He was basically scraping around everywhere when refining pills.


    Without a good medicinal cauldron, refining medicinal pills would unsurprisingly be all the more exhausting too.


    Tier 5 medicinal cauldrons naturally did not even count as trash to the previous life''s Ye Yuan. But to the current him, it was an extremely hard to come by item.


    Although Ye Yuan could not unleash the full power of this medicinal cauldron now, refining pills or whatever in the future would obviously be much more convenient too.


    Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame coupled with a Tier 5 medicinal cauldron. What medicinal pills were there that he could not refine?


    Take medicinal cauldrons for instance; medicinal cauldrons below Tier 4 were very easy to find. But medicinal cauldrons Tier 4 and above were exceedingly rare.


    Because starting from refining Tier 4 medicinal pills, array formations would be inscribed within the medicinal pills. Ordinary medicinal cauldrons simply could not withstand it.


    Tier 4 and above medicinal cauldrons must be forged using special materials, and then have intricate array formations placed internally by Tier 4 and above formation masters before it could take form.


    As for the preciousness of Tier 5 medicinal cauldrons, that went even more without saying.


    At least in the land of the Southern Domain, it was impossible to have Tier 5 medicinal cauldrons. Because there was simply no one who could refine Tier 5 medicinal pills!


    Ye Yuan did not go to collect the Tier 5 medicinal cauldrons right away. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings.


    This refining room''s configuration was relatively complete. Ye Yuan just swept a glance and could tell that the owner of this place should have been a Tier 5 alchemist, which was also Alchemy Sovereign!


    In the Endless World, Alchemy Sovereign was already an extremely powerful existence!


    Ye Yuan unwittingly held his chin and started pondering.


    He could sense that the Dao teachings that Lu Linfeng left behind back then was definitely extremely powerful. But why did it end up in such dire straits?


    This Eternal Splendor Palace had an Alchemy Sovereign. It surely also had a Tier 5 Formation Sovereign existence!


    A sect possessing a Tier 5 Formation Sovereign. How could ordinary people dare to provoke the sect?


    Just based on that Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array outside, not many people would dare to come and aggravate them, right?


    The Divine Realm''s Grand Yan Divine King, even before he ascended, he would surely have been an Endless World legend already.


    Even if his disciples and followers were complete trash, there should also not be any problem to sustain for several thousand years.


    But looking at this Eternal Splendor Palace, why did it look like it vanished into thin air overnight?


    What in the world happened back then? What was with this mystic realm?


    Ye Yuan thought carefully and felt that there just seemed to be something not right.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s peripheral sight scanned and discovered a jade slip fragment on the operating platform!

 330 Nameless Black Bead

    Ye Yuan casually waved his hand, and that jade slip fragment flew into his hand.


    He sunk his divine sense into it but discovered that the information inside was incomplete.


    Especially the content towards the back tended to only be a few short words. It did not even form sentences.


    Only ''invasion,'' ''bloody battle,'' ''death,'' these simple few words attracted Ye Yuan''s attention.


    "Looks like this Eternal Splendor Palace seemed to have suffered a catastrophe back then. That''s why it met such an end. Or perhaps Lu Linfeng exhausted the sect''s destiny alone, resulting in the Eternal Splendor Palace bearing such an undeserved calamity," Ye Yuan sighed and muttered to himself.


    Ye Yuan put down the jade slip and came to the Tier 5 medicinal cauldron''s side, only to see the word ''Square'' on the side of the medicinal cauldron.


    "This should be the medicinal cauldron''s name, right? Square Cauldron. Very fitting," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan used divine sense to sweep over Square Cauldron and could not helping praising again. "Indeed well-deserved of the Dao teachings that Lu Linfeng left behind. The array formations inscribed on this medicinal cauldrons is also so extravagant!"


    The previous owner of this Square Cauldron had clearly already passed away a long time ago. Now, it was an ownerless object.


    Ye Yuan just had to leave his own divine sense imprint on it to be able to utilize the medicinal cauldron.


    But when Ye Yuan was planting his divine sense imprint, the Square Cauldron gave off a series of roars. It actually appeared to be rather opposed.


    This made Ye Yuan feel quite astonished. He sighed emotionally and said, "Profound artifact''s spirit link. Looks like you had very deep feelings with your previous owner! I wonder . . . How is that Limitless Cauldron of mine now. Sigh . . ."


    Above spirit artifacts were profound artifacts. This Square Cauldron was a profound artifact!


    Spirit artifact already had spirituality. Profound artifacts were naturally even more attuned.


    The owner of the Square Cauldron already passed away for several thousand years, but it still did not wish to acknowledge Ye Yuan as master. It could be seen just how deep its feelings for its former owner was.


    Seeing this reminded him of it. Medicinal cauldrons were no longer an artifact item but like their family members.


    A paltry Square Cauldron had such spirituality, let along Ye Yuan''s Tier 9 Limitless Cauldron.


    Seemingly sensing the sorrow in Ye Yuan''s heart, the Square Cauldron''s tremoring sounds became softer, sounding like whimpering. It actually produced a resonance with Ye Yuan.


    This made Ye Yuan stupefied. He smiled and said, "You staying here will only let a fine artifact be covered in dust. Do you want to lie in this place for thousands of years? I know that you have very deep feelings for your previous owner. But if you bump into another owner who treasures you, wouldn''t it be a hundred times better than you lying here? Rest assured, I''ll let you give off even more dazzling brilliance than before!"


    The Square Cauldron obviously could not understand Ye Yuan''s words. But it could understand Ye Yuan''s meaning through Ye Yuan''s divine sense.


    Ye Yuan''s confidence regarding the Alchemy Path simply did not need to be feigned. Because in this world, he was one of those strongest few people!


    Of course, if he was given time, he might perhaps be the strongest and not one of!


    Or maybe Ye Yuan''s lament before moved the Square Cauldron, or perhaps Ye Yuan''s powerful confidence infected the Square Cauldron.


    All in all, it did not resist this time and freely allowed Ye Yuan to leave an imprint on its body.


    All of a sudden, the Square Cauldron shone brilliantly. The dust on the cauldron body all fell off.


    A profound artifact that was covered in dust for thousands of years came into being once more!


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and put away the Square Cauldron into the spatial spirit artifact. Then, he patted White Light''s tiny head and said, "Come, let''s continue."


    To White Light, seeking treasure seemed to be a very enjoyable thing. He jumped up joyfully and led Ye Yuan to set off again.


    This time, White Light ran a very long distance and arrived at a room again.


    But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that he was just about to push the door and enter when the door opened from inside. It was actually Wu Zhao who walked out from inside.


    He did not think that this room was actually grabbed by Wu Zhao first.


    And just as Wu Zhao was about to appear, White Light vanished with a swoosh. He actually hid inside the spatial spirit artifact already.


    When Wu Zhao saw Ye Yuan, he was also stunned. Right after, he said delightedly, "So, it''s Martial Nephew Ye. You arrived a step late. I just found a 32 restrictions spirit artifact inside. You don''t need to go in anymore, haha!"


    Wu Zhao suffered losses at Ye Yuan''s hand repeatedly, but this time, he gained an edge over Ye Yuan. He immediately felt his spirit become refreshed.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Then I''ll have to congratulate Elder Wu. Since this place has already been searched by Elder Wu, I''ll go look elsewhere."


    Presumably, Wu Zhao would not leave him anything either. Entering again was naturally a wild goose chase.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that the Heavenly Sky Sect surely had their own method to retain treasures. It was just that he did not expose it earlier.


    Since everyone was relying on their own means anyway, whoever found it, would belong to that person.


    Ye Yuan believed that with White Light this treasure seeking expert, the things he found would naturally not be inferior to the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan left straight away.


    Wu Zhao saw that Ye Yuan had no reaction at all and unwittingly felt like his punch struck the air; incredibly depressed.


    Seeing Ye Yuan leave, Wu Zhao also left uninterestedly.


    But after Wu Zhao left, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared at the entrance of this room again.


    Ye Yuan also thought that this room already had nothing much to search for. But after he had just left, White Light appeared again, biting his pants as he dragged him over here.


    Could it be that this room still had some good stuff?


    But towards White Light''s judgment, Ye Yuan was still very confident.


    This room was rather like a utility room, piled full of all sorts of things inside messily.


    Sweeping a glance across, some places were already emptied out. Clearly, it was taken by Wu Zhao.


    White Light took three steps as two steps and came to the corner self against the wall, holding a shiny black bead, and came in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan reached out to receive the bead and involuntarily furrowed his brows slightly.


    This bead was too inconspicuous. At a glance, it was simply unranked. It was no wonder that Wu Zhao did not notice it at all.


    Ye Yuan could not refrain from playing with this black bead and tried inserting a trace of essence energy. But there was still no reaction at all.


    The unresigned Ye Yuan probed his divine sense inside again, but there was still no reaction at all.


    With this, Ye Yuan was completely bummed out.


    Presumably, the Eternal Splendor Palace person most likely tried all sorts of means after obtaining this bead as well but was fruitless in the end. That was why it was cast aside like an old shoe. Otherwise, it would also not be placed in a remote corner like this.


    With Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience, he was also unable to tell what on earth this bead was, let alone other people.


    Could it be that White Light made a mistake this time? This was just a very ordinary bead?


    Ye Yuan could not help looking over at White Light and noticed that he was currently wagging his tail to claim credit. He involuntarily laughed and said, "I''m afraid that you misjudged this time."


    White Light protested immediately when he heard that. He bounced up and down and bared his teeth, just short of roaring at Ye Yuan.


    Speaking of it was strange, White Light was already middle-stage Tier 2, but his physique actually did not change at all. He still looked like a kitten.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only put the black bead away in the spatial spirit artifact.


    But right at that instant, a wave of stabbing pain flooded Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    The golden characters gave off a blinding light, then that black bead vanished with a whoosh!

 331 Underground Sudden Change!

    Ye Yuan''s divine sense fell into a trace briefly but recovered swiftly.


    He was secretly alarmed and quickly inspected his own sea of consciousness and could not help being taken aback.


    That black bead was currently suspended within his sea of consciousness quietly!


    And those golden characters were revolving around the black bead, appearing very serene.


    What kind of situation was this?


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment. He had never encountered such a bizarre incident.


    What the hell was this black bead, to actually arouse the golden characters'' covetous eyes?


    It was very clear that the golden characters forcefully snatched away the black bead from his hands just now.


    Looking at it now, this black bead was more than just special; it was simply a heaven-defying object!


    But when Ye Yuan checked his body over, he did not discover any sort of changes. He could not help heaving a sigh of relief but was also somewhat faintly disappointed.


    If this bead were really some heaven-defying item, it would be good to bring some changes to his body!


    Letting out a long sigh, Ye Yuan brought White Light and exited the room.


    Different from the other people searching blindly, Ye Yuan had White Light''s help. Everything he found was top tier treasures.


    After two hours, apart from the Square Cauldron, Ye Yuan''s spatial spirit artifact gained many more things: large quantities of spirit medicine, over 20 sets of spirit artifacts, magic artifacts, as well as large quantities of essence crystals!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan felt like he became an overnight millionaire.


    White Light brought him to an herb storehouse. Inside the herb storehouse were spirit medicines of every rank. Just the Tier 4 medicinal herbs were over a dozen.


    But the most peculiar thing was that this second level actually had no danger whatsoever. Everybody returned to the gathering place perfectly all right, as if this second level was a place especially for people to seek treasures.


    Ye Yuan casually summoned the things in the storage ring. Only two or three spirit artifact and some medicinal herbs that he had no use of.


    When Wu Zhao saw the things Ye Yuan found, his face could not help showing an odd expression. "Martial Nephew Ye Yuan only found these?"


    Ye Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Yes. Luck wasn''t very good. I didn''t find anything good. The way I see it, there probably isn''t anything good here. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be no danger at all here."


    Wu Zhao was actually very dejected too. The best thing he found was that 32 restrictions spirit artifact. He even showed off in front of Ye Yuan.


    But this did not seem quite right no matter how one looked at it!


    This mysterious sect was plainly very powerful. A 32 restrictions spirit artifact should not be the best, right?


    Thinking up to here, Wu Zhao could not resist observing the Restrictions Compass secretly. But there was no reaction at all.


    That also meant that Ye Yuan did not cheat. It was really quite abnormal.


    He obviously did not know that the good stuff here were all lying inside Ye Yuan''s spatial spirit artifact quietly!


    Tallying up the final count, two 64 restrictions spirit artifacts and seven 32 restrictions spirit artifacts showed up.


    As for 8 restrictions and 16 restrictions, there was naturally plenty.


    Apart from this, the most that everyone found was still cultivation methods and martial techniques!


    Of course, that was because Ye Yuan did not take fancy to them . . .


    These were mostly Tier 3 or 4 cultivation methods and martial techniques. They were simply pretty useless to Ye Yuan.


    The final thing was the issue of distribution. The Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect two sects possessed the greatest right to speak!


    After a round of intense discussion, the two 64 restrictions spirit artifact were split evenly by the two sects. As for the 32 restrictions spirit artifacts, four to the Heavenly Sky Sect, and three to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Additionally, the Heavenly Sky Sect compensate the Tranquil Cloud Sect four pieces of 16 restrictions spirit artifact. Among that included the Restrictions Compass.


    This was fought for by Ye Yuan.


    This Restrictions Compass was rather interesting. It seemed to be able to replicate inhibition array formations. This made Ye Yuan rather interested.


    As for the other spirit artifacts, there were divided up by the other six great sects.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect turned their noses up on these low-rank spirit artifacts, while the Tranquil Cloud Sect was also considered to have gained enormous benefits. They obviously would not haggle over this either.


    Those cultivation methods and martial techniques, the Eight Great Sects followed the ratio discussed beforehand. The Tranquil Cloud Sect also got to pick several Tier 4 cultivation methods and martial techniques.


    So far, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be said to be the greatest winner this mystic realm trip!


    They did not lose a single man, but obtained the most natural treasures and riches!


    Looking at the Heavenly Sky Sect, on the other hand, the line-up sent out this time was the strongest, but presently, only a mere ten people were left.


    Although the three elders were all here, after they were extorted a sum by Ye Yuan, their gains probably did not even match the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Everything was distributed properly. A new problem appeared in front of everyone: where was the entrance to the third level?


    There were still around 30 people left among the eight sects. But these people all said that they did not see the entrance to the third level after returning!


    Now that things came to this, everyone each had their own judgment in their hearts. This Eternal Splendor Palace should be a sect possessing Tier 5 experts at its prime!


    But the things found by the eight sects now were basically all Tier 4 and below Tier 4.


    Then . . . where did the Tier 5 articles go?


    This was the key point!


    To the Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sects, Tier 5 was absolutely an enormous temptation!


    If they obtained a Tier 5 cultivation method, their sect''s strength would surely have a qualitative leap!


    One had to know that the Heavenly Sky Sect''s strongest expert at present was only at the Third Level Soul Sea Realm.


    "Martial Nephew Ye, I wonder if you have any way of entering the third level?" Wu Zhao was also at a loss as to what to do and could only ask Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan was also clueless at the moment and shook his head and said, "No idea. Or perhaps, there isn''t a third level at all."


    Wu Zhao said, "How is that possible? Tier 5 experts clearly existed in this Eternal Splendor Palace. And since we entered the mystic realm until now, all we saw were Tier 4 stuff. What about Tier 5 items then?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What''s surprising about that? The Eternal Splendor Palace had clearly suffered a severe blow. Or maybe the Tier 5 items were plundered away by their foes."


    In truth, Ye Yuan was just saying. Even he himself did not believe it either.


    The first level and second level items were preserved very completely. That at least showed that this great hall did not suffer heavy losses. Then, the third level definitely existed.


    Except . . . where on earth was the entrance to the third level?


    Evidently, all the rooms in the second level were searched through by everyone, and they did not find any obvious entrance.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s heart suddenly gave birth to a hint of ominous premonition, as if there was some danger currently approaching!


    But when he surveyed his surroundings, he did not find anything dangerous.


    Ye Yuan could not help recalling the contents of that jade slip fragment, could it be . . .


    But just as Ye Yuan was pondering, rumbling sounds suddenly came from beneath his feet!


    The entire Eternal Splendor Palace trembled at this very instant as if an earthquake was happening!


    Many people lost their footing and fell to the ground.


    "Ouch! What is it? What happened?"


    "Such a violent earthquake, the mystic realm isn''t collapsing, right?"


    "Touchwood! You crow''s beak! Saying anymore and Your Father will shred your mouth!"


    For a moment, the eight sect''s disciples fell into a disorderly mess.


    Deep beneath the earth, a light flashed, and several silhouettes appeared.


    These people''s looks were very rugged. Their attire was vastly different from Ye Yuan''s company!


    "Hahaha! It''s been several thousand years! Our Fierce Gale World finally descended upon the Endless World again!" A bushy-bearded burly fellow laughed wildly.

 332 Fierce Gale World Survivors!

    "Fierce Gale World survivor, Lin Chao, pays respect to Your Excellency!"


    After that bushy-bearded burly man burst into wild laughter, a person came forward to salute. It was precisely Lin Chao!


    And how was the present Lin Chao some Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? He was shockingly already a Sea Transformation Realm expert!


    Turned out that when he was traveling together with the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he had been concealing his strength all along. Even Ye Yuan surprisingly did not perceive it!


    That bushy-bearded burly man shot Lin Chao a glance and said in a booming voice, "Was this Six Extreme Seals Grand Array broken by you?"


    Lin Chao replied respectfully, "Yes! Us survivors have been lying low in this Endless World''s Southern Domain for thousands of years and finally found the way to crack the formation and the location of the seal! Today, the fortune of cracking the formation is truly my Purple Mansion Sect disciples'' several thousand years'' long-cherished wish!"


    The bushy-bearded burly man chortled with laughter and said, "Hahaha! Also considered that you guys have the heart! Back then, leaving you all in the Endless World was the divine stroke of the previous generation''s Wind Emperor! To think that it finally bore fruit today! You''re called Lin Chao, right? Good, I''ve remembered you. I''ll report your contributions to the higher-ups!"


    Lin Chao was overjoyed as he said, "Lin Chao dare not claim credit for himself! My Purple Mansion Sect all swallowed humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens to reside in the Southern Domain land just for today!"


    The bushy-bearded burly man nodded and said, "Alright, you don''t need to say anymore. I know well in my heart! Your strength is decent. It''s just that such an appearance completely became this Endless World''s wuss-like look!"


    Lin Chao smiled and said, "Didn''t our Fierce Gale World want to enter the Endless World in order to become like this?"


    The bushy-bearded burly man was stunned, but then he laughed loudly and said, "Haha, what you said is correct! Oh, right, I''m called Lan Bao. These three are my clansman, Lan Hu, Lan Feng, Lan Yun."


    Lin Chao clasped his hands and said with a salute, "I''ve seen the three lords!"


    Lan Bao waved his hands and said, "No need to be so formal. Your strength is equal to theirs. Just address each other as brothers will do! This Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is unbelievably powerful. Although you broke the formation''s base from this side, only Sea Transformation Realms can pass through right now. I''ve already informed the higher-ups. They will send people over very soon to continue cracking the grand array. Wanting to completely link the two worlds will probably still need half a year to a year''s time! During this period, we have to guard this passageway well."


    Lin Chao nodded and said, "What Big Brother Lan said is right! Actually, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is within a mystic realm in the Endless World''s Southern Domain. I snuck inside the team exploring the mystic realm and came together this time."


    As he spoke, Lin Chao briefly summarized the situation after entering the mystic realm to Lan Bao.


    Lan Bao was completely indifferent when he heard it and said, "Turns out it''s a bunch of Crystal Formation Realm little bastards. The few of us is enough! Brother Lin Chao, exterminate them together with the four of us brothers!"


    Lin Chao said respectfully, "Yes!"


    . . . . . .


    After a long while, the rocking Eternal Splendor Palace finally quietened down. But it was already in a big mess.


    The Eternal Splendor Palace had clearly been reinforced with array formations before. Although the swaying was extremely intense, it was not damaged at all.


    "This . . . What on earth happened? Why did it shake so violently just now?" Wu Zhao''s words were directed at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shook his head, but suddenly thought of something and his expression involuntarily changed drastically!


    His figure moved and came to a Purple Mansion Sect disciple''s side. Grabbing his collar, he asked, "Quickly say! Where is Lin Chao?"


    That Purple Mansion Sect disciple was first taken aback. Following that, he also had a sudden realization and said, "S-Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Ah! Y-Yes, where is Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? When did Senior Apprentice Brother Lin disappear?"


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and threw that Purple Mansion Sect disciple onto the ground.


    He had been eyeing that disciple''s eyes the entire time. If he lied, it definitely could not escape his eyes. That Purple Mansion Sect disciple also did not know when Lin Chao disappeared or what he went to do.


    This was even stranger. The things that Lin Chao was going to do, even his fellow sect members were actually unaware!


    No wonder the first time he laid eyes on Lin Chao, he had a very strange feeling. Seemed like this fellow had a problem from the start!


    When Wu Zhao saw Ye Yuan lose his composure like so, he was also greatly startled. He came forward and asked, "Martial Nephew Ye, what happened? Who is this Lin Chao?"


    With Wu Zhao''s status, he obviously would not pay attention to a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    Lin Chao''s disappearance made Ye Yuan''s heart give rise to an intense uneasiness. He had a feeling that the earthquake earlier definitely had a link to Lin Chao!


    What in the world did he do?


    Ye Yuan briefly described Lin Chao''s identity. In truth, he also did not know who on earth Lin Chao was.


    Looking at it now, Lin Chao most likely had some undisclosable identity. And his goal of entering the mystic realm was different from his group of people!


    When Wu Zhao heard Ye Yuan''s words, he also could not figure it out and was somewhat uncertain.


    "We''d better leave this place quickly. I keep feeling like something is about to happen." At this time, Wu Zhao clearly also sensed trouble.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Already too late. I''m afraid that our exit is already blocked off!"


    His words had yet to fade, only to see a flash of light. Five silhouettes appeared in front of everybody.


    When the eight sects'' disciples saw these five people, they all felt an intensely oppressive feeling. The visual shock that Lan Bao and his three brothers'' wild form gave everyone was too strong!


    When Wu Zhao saw Lan Bao, his eyes involuntarily became intent!


    "Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm!" Wu Zhao sucked in a cold breath.


    A Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was simply not somebody that they could contend with!


    One Lan Bao could take care of all of them!


    But Ye Yuan''s gaze stopped on Lin Chao''s body and similarly felt a wave of inconceivability!


    Turns out, presently, that the Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm Lin Chao was actually already Third Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    Lan Bao''s group of five. One Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm and four Third Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    How were they going to fight?


    Seeing such a line-up, everyone revealed despairing looks.


    "Brother Lin Chao, are these people the Endless World people that explored the mystic realm together with you?" Lan Bao asked as if there was nobody else present.


    Lin Chao nodded and said, "That''s right! A hundred of us came on this trip. The majority of the Sea Transformation Realm elders have already been smitten down by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array. Only these people are left."


    Lan Bao said with a disdainful face, "A bunch of ant-like existences! Are the Endless World''s people all this weak?"


    Lin Chao smiled and said, "How can the Endless World''s natives be our Fierce Gale World''s match? Back then, if not for the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect''s strength to seal the realm passageway, the Endless World would have been our Fierce Gale World''s long ago. How could they have the opportunity to wander these several thousand years freely?"


    Lan Bao guffawed when he heard that and said, "Hahaha! What Brother Lin said is right! But before long, the Endless World will be ours!"


    At this time, a Purple Mansion Sect disciple asked weakly, "Lin . . . Are you Senior Apprentice Brother Lin? Y-You said something about Fierce Gale World just now? What is happening here?"


    Lin Chao looked at him and said with a smile, "You probably don''t know yet, right? Our Purple Mansion Sect''s upper echelons are all Fierce Gale World survivors! Our mission for staying in the Endless World is to open up the two world''s passageway to welcome the Wind Emperor''s arrival! Junior Apprentice Brother Wang, you and I are fellow sect apprentices. If you pledge allegiance to my Fierce Gale World now, I can give you a way out."

 333 Battling Lin Chao!

    Junior Apprentice Brother Wang clearly did not know what Fierce Gale World was. But even if he was any dumber, he also knew that Lin Chao was not an Endless World native currently!


    Hearing Lin Chao''s words, Junior Apprentice Brother Wang''s face involuntarily became the color of dirt. For a moment, he did not know what he should do.


    But at the moment, Lin Chao''s gaze landed on Ye Yuan.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we meet again! This entire way, I''m really indebted to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s care!" Lin Chao said with a smile.


    Everything that was happening right now seriously far exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    Even if Ye Yuan calculated everything, it was also impossible to predict such a drastic change.


    During this trip, the greatest adversary from start to finish was the Heavenly Sky Sect. Ye Yuan''s focus would naturally be placed on Wu Zhao.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not think that an Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm could stir up such a large storm, let alone think that this mystic realm trip would actually involve the dispute between two worlds!


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan finally understood what the contents of that jade slip fragment meant!


    ''Invasion'' did not point to a powerful opponent in the Endless World, but the invasion of the Fierce Gale World!


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun was born in the Divine Realm and grew up in the Divine Realm. Most of what he knew about the Lower Realms were understood from records.


    There were countless lower planes. Some worlds did not intersect with other worlds, while there were worlds with a realm passageway to other worlds.


    Once this passageway opened up, the two worlds would frequently have a fierce battle!


    There were even realms that would have a large-scale war erupt every few hundred years if things continued this way!


    Living in such a world was unfortunate. Because they did not know when they would die.


    The origin of this sort of war was normally to plunder resources. But later on, it would become a mortal feud.


    Very clearly, the Fierce Gale World attempted to invade the Endless World several thousand years ago, but the passageway was sealed by the Endless World.


    And now, this seal was broken by Lin Chao!


    The passageway opening up again could mean that the Endless World would be plunged into an abyss of suffering from now on!


    Ye Yuan''s current expression was not too good either. Lin Chao suffered quite a loss at his hands. Looking at it now, seemed like he was enduring it patiently. His goal was in order to infiltrate the Eternal Splendor Palace!


    Right now, Lin Chao had already completed his mission and even displayed his true strength. Using one''s toes to think and one would also know that he wanted to regain face.


    In truth, Ye Yuan knew that not a single person here could escape. It was just that Lin Chao was probably going to place heavy emphasis on him, right?


    If it was Lin Chao alone, then things could be settled. But that bushy-bearded burly man was simply not who Ye Yuan could presently match, even if he possessed 18 sword puppets currently.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was already spinning the gears in his head at full speed to think of a strategy to escape. He quietly entered Heart Like Still Water State.


    Under Heart Like Still Water State, his thoughts would become even calmer and more acute!


    Ye Yuan had no way of making himself maintain the Heart Like Still Water State all the way. That would exhaust too much mental strength.


    But with the passing of time, Ye Yuan''s cultivation in heart realm already advanced further.


    The time he spent in Heart Like Still Water State now was already far longer compared to during the Dan Wu Academy''s time.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Lin concealed so deeply. If Senior Apprentice Brother Lin displayed your cultivation sooner, I also wouldn''t dare to show off my inadequacy in front of you. However . . ." Talking up to here, Ye Yuan''s gaze became sharp. "Since you concealed your cultivation back then, then Senior Apprentice Brother Pang''s score, I''ve noted it down!"


    Looking at it now, back then when Lin Chao lured the wolf pack over, it was clearly because he did not wish to expose his strength in front of his fellow sect members.


    No matter what objective Lin Chao wanted to achieve, since it was intentional and it harmed people close to him, then this was completely a different case!


    Lin Chao''s scheming was deep. Presently, their side had the absolute overwhelming strength. Why would he take to heart Ye Yuan''s threat?


    "Hur hur, what a coincidence. I also came to find Junior Apprentice Brother Ye to settle scores," Lin Chao said with a chuckle.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and put away his cold expression, changing into a smile and said, "Oh, right, I nearly forgot. Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Lin wants to take back the soul jade on me."


    But these words from Ye Yuan were said to Lan Bao.


    "Mm? Soul jade!"


    Lan Bao had clearly also heard of the name soul jade before. Hearing Ye Yuan mention it currently, he could not help showing a curious look.


    But Lin Chao was secretly alarmed and wished that he could tear Ye Yuan into pieces immediately.


    This move from Ye Yuan was too ruthless!


    To Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, soul jades were essentially an irresistible temptation!


    Even if Lan Bao did not know the function of soul jades, Ye Yuan would likely say it out too.


    This was a blatantly open plot, an undisguised sowing of dissension!


    But Lin Chao was also somebody with an exceedingly sharp mind. The expression on his face did not change at all as he said to Lan Bao unperturbedly, "Prior to this, I was fortunate enough to acquire some soul jades. But along the way, the greater part of it was extorted by this brat! I was just planning on killing this brat to retrieve the soul jades to offer up to Big Brother Lan Bao!"


    Although Lan Bao''s strength was powerful, in terms of mind games, he clearly could not compare with Lin Chao. He involuntarily nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Leaving such a priceless treasure like soul jade on a Spirit Condensation Realm brat''s body, isn''t that a waste of God''s good gift? Quickly kill him and be done with it!"


    This Lan Bao evidently had a violent and tyrannical personality. He could not even be bothered to waste any breath on these people.


    Lin Chao sniggered coldly and looked at Ye Yuan. Third Level Sea Transformation Realm aura was suddenly released as he attacked Ye Yuan!


    But what awaited him were sword puppets!


    18 sword puppets appeared abruptly. Lin Chao instantly fell into the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    Lin Chao was frightened by this scene at first and thought that Ye Yuan unleashed some mighty move. After he saw that these sword puppets only had late-stage Crystal Formation Realm strength, he involuntarily sneered coldly and said, "Paltry tricks!"


    But he discovered very soon that he was too na?ve!


    These dense sword shadows forced him until he simply did not have the strength to counterattack!


    Lan Bao''s aura locked onto Wu Zhao, Mei Zhen, and Elder Zhu, these three people the whole time. As long as the three of them dared to move, he would give a thunderbolt-like attack,


    In Lan Bao''s opinion, Lin Chao, a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm, dealing with an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was definitely gave an instant kill as the conclusion.


    Who knew that Lin Chao was actually blocked by a bunch of late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets?


    "Did Brother Lin Chao stay too long in the Endless World and your combat strength fell until you can''t even beat a group of Crystal Formation Realm puppets?" Lan Bao said with slight displeasure.


    Fierce Gale World martial artists all revered their own personal strength and completely did not understand profound things like array formations. Hence, he totally could not see through the actual situation with these sword puppets.


    Lin Chao was crying bitterness in his heart. There was simply no way of talking reason with this boorish fellow!


    Even a fool could tell that these puppets were extraordinary. Are you poking fun at me?


    "Big Brother Lan Bao, these puppets are controlled by Ye Yuan using an abstruse array formation. It''s very powerful! I . . . I can''t handle it alone!" Lin Chao said while dealing with the sword puppets.


    Although he really did not wish to admit it, he truly could not take down these sword puppets within a short period of time!


    Even if this was not Ye Yuan''s true combat strength, Lin Chao still felt very disgraced to ask Lan Bao for help.


    He originally even thought about showing a good performance. Who knew that he lifted up a stone to smash his own feet!

 334 Forcefully Withstanding Four Mighty Sea

    Lan Bao impression of Lin Chao was originally pretty good. After all, to the Fierce Gale World, he performed an outstanding service.


    But now, Lan Bao''s disdain towards Lin Chao came from the bottom of his heart!


    The Fierce Gale World''s martial era was extremely prosperous. Martial artists all had extremely strong faith in their own combat strength.


    Lin Chao, a Sea Transformation Realm, actually asked him for help to deal with a Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The way Lan Bao saw it, Lin Chao had stayed too long in the Endless World and already lost the pride that a Fierce Gale World martial artists should have!


    But Lan Bao also knew the severity of the matter and said to Lan Yun at the side, "Lan Yun, you go and test out what amazing aspects these lousy puppets have!"


    Lan Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Big Brother!"


    Mei Zhen saw these boorish men going to join the fight, and in a panic, he wanted to make a move.


    Lan Bao snorted coldly and said, "Whoever dares to move will be the first to die!"


    The words were brief, but the deterrent was impactful!


    That powerful aura from Lan Bao crushed the three people until they were completely out of breath.


    Mei Zhen also knew that once this Lan Bao attacked, it would surely be earth-shattering! He would certainly not be a match!


    But Ye Yuan was fighting two alone now. Could it be that he had to fold his arms and look on just like that?


    For a moment, Mei Zhen''s inner heart incomparably anguished.


    Lending a hand, he most likely would not even have the chance to make a move. Not lifting a finger, this ridge in his heart could not be cleared no matter what.


    "Calm down, Elder Mei. I can still hang on," Just then, Ye Yuan''s voice transmission arrived.


    Not knowing why, hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Mei Zhen''s anxious mood immediately calmed down.


    Lan Yun''s aura was the weakest among the four people, only the likes of early-stage Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    He came in front of the formation and released his aura. The faces of the eight sect''s people all changed!


    "This . . . Is this really the aura released by a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm?" Zhao Yuyang exclaimed in shock.


    Elder Zhu''s face was solemn as he said, "I feel that . . . I''m not his match! This person called Lan Yun is definitely someone who is a veteran in battle! His true combat strength is extremely strong!"


    Seeing this scene, Mei Zhen''s heart that had just calmed down surged great waves again.


    Lan Yun did not hesitate, charging into the formation directly.


    Lan Yun''s aura billowed, a set of fist technique struck until it was impermeable.


    For a moment, clanking sounds could be heard without end. Lan Yun actually forcefully clashed with those myriad sword shadows with a pair of iron fists!


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance!


    This Lan Yun''s strength was truly powerful to the extreme!


    Wu Zhao and Mei Zhen had all fallen into the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation before and was deeply aware of the prowess of this set of array formations. Just those sword shadows that might come out of nowhere at any time was enough to drive people insane.


    But this Lan Yun could react right away no matter which direction the longsword came from in the array formation and perform an accurate response!


    This was completely the instinct of fighting!


    Lan Yun''s actions totally did not need to be processed through his head, and his fist would arrive already!


    Such formidable fighting instinct made everyone draw a cold breath.


    Even Wu Zhao was also measuring himself with Lan Yun''s strength. His realm was that tiny bit higher than Lan Yun. But if they really faced-off, he might not be able to gain an advantage!


    Nobody noticed that among these Endless World folks, there was someone looking at Lan Yun inside the array formation with sparkling eyes as if he was absorbed in thought.


    Lan Yun''s fist art had an extremely strong personal style. Although he had not formed true intent yet, he was already not far from it.


    Ti Wujiu''s eyes were fixated dead at Lan Yun''s fists. A hint of comprehension was gradually born in his heart!


    "This . . . This Lan Yun is so strong! Ye Yuan . . . Can he hold on while fighting two alone?" Tian Yu could not help worrying.


    "No idea. But at present . . . I''m also at my wit''s end," Mei Zhen said with a bitter smile.


    "Ye Yuan, you definitely have to hang on! You must stay strong!" Tian Yu gritted his teeth and said.


    Ever since his divine soul reached the perfection of Alchemy Master, although Ye Yuan''s soul force did not increase much, his endurance soared tremendously.


    Presently, facing the two Third Level Sea Transformation Realms within the array formation, while it was somewhat taxing on Ye Yuan, it was still far from his limits.


    Lan Yun''s strength also amazed Ye Yuan quite a bit. But this fellow was clearly a moron who knew nothing about array formations.


    After he entered the array formation, he was of completely no help at all to Lin Chao. The two of them were fighting their own battles.


    If Lan Yun understood array formations slightly and joined hands with Lin Chao to break the formation, the pressure on Ye Yuan would immediately be much greater.


    Facing the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, there was basically only breaking the formation using strength this sole path.


    Though there were two people inside the array formation now, they were fighting separately and were unable to focus their attacks. The threat to Ye Yuan naturally also reduced quite a bit.


    But at this time, Lan Bao finally perceived that something was not quite right.


    He was very clear about Lan Yun''s combat strength. While his strength among the four brothers was the weakest, facing these few guys opposite should not pose an issue.


    But even so, after Lan Yun entered the puppet formation, he actually did not even stir up a single wave!


    In a twinkle of an eye, dozens of moves had passed, but the puppets were still as stable as Mount Tai!


    That Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat actually did not show the slightest hint of being defeated!


    Lan Bao''s face fell. He said to Lan Hu and Lan Feng, "You two go as well! I don''t believe that a puny little Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm can overturn the heavens!"


    Once Lan Bao''s words came out, Mei Zhen and the rest were greatly startled.


    "You people! You''re too shameless! Four Sea Transformation Realms fighting a Spirit Condensation Realm, do you guys still have shame?" Mei Zhen said in a great rage.


    Lan Bao grinned and said, "What? Are you very unresigned?"


    Mei Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I''m unresigned?"


    Lan Bao turned to Lan Hu and Lan Feng and signaled with his eyes to make them attack faster.


    Mei Zhen was very anxious and wanted to stop them. Suddenly, there was a blur in front of his eyes which involuntarily gave him a great shock. He hurriedly retreated!


    But that figure was even faster than him!


    "Too slow!" Lan Bao''s words sounded beside Mei Zhen''s ears like a nightmare. Then, he did not know anything anymore.


    Lan Bao lightly tapped Mei Zhen''s body. Mei Zhen''s vision went dark, and he collapsed gently on the ground.


    "ELDER MEI!"


    "Elder Mei!"


    . . . . . .


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples saw that Mei Zhen was subdued by Lan Bao in one move, they could not help being terrified; their faces turned pale as they all cried out in alarm.


    Lan Bao grinned and said, "Relax, he isn''t dead yet. You all don''t move. If you move again, my temper isn''t going to be so good anymore."


    Mo Yuntian and the rest felt indignant but did not dare to speak out. Lan Bao was seriously too powerful!


    When Mei Zhen saw that scene earlier, he felt he was about to suffocate. It was true that he was stronger than Mei Zhen, but it was not possible to be way more powerful.


    Since Lan Bao could defeat Mei Zhen in a single move, dealing with him naturally would not take too much work either!


    Although the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm was much stronger than the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm, it was not to such an extent that Mei Zhen did not even have the chance to retaliate, right?


    Could all these Fierce Gale World martial artists be this strong?


    At this moment, Wu Zhao and the rest revealed thick fear in their eyes and could not give rise to any hint of resisting in their hearts anymore.


    When Lan Bao saw such a situation, he was very pleased. The effect he wanted was achieved.


    And right then, Lan Hu and Lan Feng, these two Third Level Sea Transformation Realm experts had also already joined in the fight!

 335 Unmatched Scheming!

    "Miss, quickly make a move! If it continues like this, Mister Ye won''t be able to hold out much longer!"


    Yan-er watched Ye Yuan battle four Sea Transformation Realm powerhouses with his own strength and could not help becoming very anxious.


    But Li-er shook her head and said, "Mister Ye should have his own plans. We''d better not make a move rashly. Otherwise, he will be unhappy."


    "But there''s still a Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm glaring with hostility. It''s not possible for Ye Yuan to be lucky this time, right?" Yan-er asked.


    "That might not be so. Let''s watch first then say. Just a measly little Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm. He can''t stir much of a wave. If he really can''t, it won''t be too late for us to make a move then," Li-er said.


    Lan Bao was obviously unaware that the mantis stalks the cicada, being unaware of the oriole behind. But his present expression was not too good either.


    After Lan Hu and Lan Feng, the two of them, entered the battlefield, they still could not break the stalemate!


    An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat actually fought to a draw with four Third Level Sea Transformation Realm by controlling a group of late-stage Crystal Formation Realm puppets.


    What kind of joke was this?!


    If the Endless World were all as strong as this boy, then what the heck did the Fierce Gale World still had to fight for?!


    At this time, Lan Bao obviously would not really be dumb enough to think that Lin Chao''s strength was lacking.


    This brat was bizarre!


    Having been through these few rounds of great battles, Ye Yuan''s operation of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation also became even more proficient.


    When Ye Yuan himself was inside the array formation, the sword puppets were just lifeless objects which would not modify the array formation according to the opponent''s variation.


    But now that Ye Yuan was manipulating the array formation, it was completely different.


    Lin Chao still had slight knowledge in array formations, but the Lan Clan three brothers were completely ignorant.


    Hence, Ye Yuan mobilized the sword puppets to separate Lin Chao and the three of them completely and not let them have any chance to converge.


    As long as they could not come together, they would not be able to cause lethal damage to the sword puppets. The array formation would also naturally not be broken so easily.


    In a twinkle, another hundred over rounds passed. But Ye Yuan still had yet to show the slightest hint of being overpowered. The people from the Endless World who were watching had shock written all over their faces!


    "The Tranquil Cloud Sect really picked up a treasure, to actually groom such a monstrous youth! If Ye Yuan doesn''t die, the rise of the Tranquil Cloud Sect will be in the near future!"


    "Yeah! If I didn''t witness it with my own eyes, I simply dare not believe that this is real! He''s only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. After he reaches Crystal Formation Realm or Sea Transformation Realm, how horrifying would he become?"


    "What rise is there? No eggs can remain unbroken if the nest is overturned. This Fierce Gale World is going to attack soon. The sect masters are most likely still unaware of this matter! Furthermore, will Ye Yuan be lucky today? Sigh . . . It''s too bad for this unparalleled genius!" another person said.


    "This . . ."


    That person involuntarily shot a glance at Lan Bao; the despair in his heart welled up once again.


    This man was extremely powerful until it made people unable to give rise to the thought of resisting.


    And at the moment, Lan Bao''s eyes were staring at Ye Yuan like a cheetah. That unconcerned and leisurely feel was already gone!


    Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying performance finally made Lan Bao take him seriously.


    A peerless genius like this, once he let him mature, there would be countless Fierce Gale World martial artists who would die in his hands!


    Therefore . . .


    Lan Bao''s figure moved, vanishing instantly from where he stood!


    When he appeared again in the next instant, he already arrived beside Ye Yuan!


    Everyone watched this scene in terror. Especially the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Their eyes unwittingly revealed despair!


    "Ye Yuan!"


    "Careful, Ye Yuan!" the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples cried out.


    But their cries were not as fast as Lan Bao''s action. That deadly palm of his had already landed like lightning.


    Everything . . . seemed to have become a foregone conclusion!


    "Ah! No!" Yan-er covered her eyes in pain and could not bear to look at this scene.


    But Li-er''s pretty eyes flickered by the side. She still did not have any intention of making a move.


    An ugly sneer flashed across the corner of Lan Bao''s mouth. This sort of thing like destroying geniuses made people feel the greatest satisfaction. Especially a monstrous unrivaled genius like this!


    Clang!


    A dull colliding sound undulated out across the second level, vibrating everybody''s eardrums until it hurt.


    Under everyone''s disbelieving eyes, Ye Yuan''s figure flew out like a cannonball!


    And in his arms, he was hugging a large square cauldron!


    Ye Yuan did not die!


    Facing imminent danger, Ye Yuan actually released the Square Cauldron and defended against Lan Bao''s certain-kill palm move.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan even put away all of the sword puppets inside his storage ring!


    Very clearly, he had calculated that scene earlier long ago. Hence, he was ready long ago!


    Keeping the sword puppets and pulling out the Square Cauldrons were actions done in just a blink of an eye.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan escaped this calamity!


    Wu Zhao watched this scene dumbfoundedly and dare not believe that this was real. Even he could not quite follow Lan Bao''s actions earlier. Ye Yuan actually carried out a perfect defense!


    "Goodbye! Don''t bother to see me out!"


    In midair, Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out leisurely.


    Ye Yuan''s inverted flight speed was extremely quick. But he was evidently well-prepared. Putting away the Square Cauldron in midair, just as he was about to collide into a wall, he lightly tapped with the tip of his feet and turned toward a passageway. His figure disappeared!


    Lan Bao did not chase after right away. He placed his palm behind his back.


    If there were people standing behind him right now, they would notice that his palm was currently trembling faintly!


    Very clearly, he himself also suffered a tremendously powerful recoil from that palm just now!


    "Tier 5 Profound Artifact!" Lan Bao clenched his teeth and enunciated each word.


    His face was currently livid with rage. It was apparent that he still could not quite accept the truth. A Spirit Condensation Realm brat actually escaped from his hands!


    "Big Brother, what now?" Lan Hu asked.


    "Take care of these people first! The passageways here are all sealed off by us. He can''t escape!" Lan Bao said.


    "Yes!"


    Hearing Lan Bao''s words, the people from the eight sects all turned ashen.


    Lan Bao came in front of everybody and said in a solemn voice, "I''m very angry right now. So . . . all of you have to die!"


    "Hold your horses!" Lin Chao suddenly said.


    Lan Bao frowned and said, "What?"


    "Big Brother Lan Bao, weren''t you planning to turn into them slaves and send them to the Fierce Gale World previously? In my opinion, it''s best not to kill them. Ye Yuan that brat is extremely cunning. These are all his fellow disciples. Just in case we can''t find Ye Yuan, we can use them to force Ye Yuan to show himself!" Lin Chao said.


    Lan Bao pondered for a moment and nodded his head as he said, "What you said makes sense. Do as you say then!"


    Although it was just a brief single exchange, Lan Bao could deeply sense Ye Yuan''s boldness and cautiousness.


    But when Mo Yuntian heard that, his face spontaneously became ashen. That bit of joy from Ye Yuan escaping instantly vanished into thin air!


    "Want to take us as hostages? Dream on!"


    Mo Yuntian cried out and was about to commit suicide.


    But Lan Bao said coldly, "Want to die? Have you asked me?"


    He just casually tapped, but was even faster than Mo Yuntian''s own actions!


    Then, Mo Yuntian collapsed softly like Mei Zhen.


    "Lin Chao, seal off their dantians and escort them back to the Fierce Gale World!" Lan Bao said coldly.


    Following that, he came in front of Wu Zhao and the rest again, saying, "It''s your turn now. You people can choose to die, or . . . become slaves!"

 336 To Catch a Turtle in a Jar!

    Actually, the instant Lan Bao and company appeared, Ye Yuan was already racking his brains on how to escape.


    After he saw Lan Bao''s strength, he knew that wanting to bring everyone away was already something impossible.


    Ye Yuan was not a foolish person, being fully aware that he was outmatched. If he went on, it would be a certain death.


    That was not bravery, but stupidity!


    Staying behind to die together with Mei Zhen and the rest was the most stupid choice.


    Furthermore . . . if even he was sent inside too, then it would really be hopeless.


    As long as he, Ye Yuan, did not die, there would always be a chance to rescue everybody.


    Hence, from that time, Ye Yuan already made preparations to escape alone.


    Ye Yuan had made the decision long ago. If Mei Zhen, Mo Yuntian, or the rest suffered anything untoward, he would definitely bury the entire Fierce Gale World with them someday!


    This might perhaps be as hard as ascending to the heaven to others, but to Ye Yuan, it was not far off.


    Ye Yuan did not say any threatening words before leaving because him threatening at this time was overly feeble. Other than infuriating Lan Bao, it served no other use.


    Ye Yuan scuttled along. The entire second level''s rooms and passageways appeared clearly inside his mind.


    There was only one exit in the second level. Then where was his path to survival?


    There was only one life-road, which was the third level!


    From the beginning, Ye Yuan had never thought about leaving through the exit on the first level!


    After Lan Bao came up, Ye Yuan quietly entered Heart Like Still Water Realm. He wanted to find the third level''s entrance!


    Hence, Ye Yuan recalled the entire process of seeking treasure in the second level desperately. Finally, he discovered a clue!


    The second level had many big and small rooms. Naturally, there were also big and small aisles.


    When Ye Yuan mapped out all the roads he walked through in his mind clearly, he unwittingly came to a sudden realization!


    The setup of the second level was essentially an array formation!


    This array formation was not some entrapping formation or killing formation, but it was an array formation setup in order to conceal the third level''s entrance!


    Starting from the entrance, if one did not know array formations, no matter where the person walked, he would never find the third level''s entrance.


    Want to find the entrance leading to the third level? The only way was to cracked this array formation in order to find the correct route!


    Thinking this through, Ye Yuan also could not help sighing emotionally at the ingenious mind of the person who designed this Eternal Splendor Palace.


    And this Eternal Splendor Palace was a legacy that Lu Linfeng left behind. Using this sort of method to conceal the third level''s entrance also matched with the theme.


    It was just that there was no obstruction whatsoever entering the second level. Everybody entering the array formation was also equivalent to placing themselves inside the game.


    As the saying went, those closely involved could not see clearly. That was not said for fun.


    It was an exceedingly difficult matter for a person inside the game to want to see through the puzzle.


    Even for a Tier 9 array master like Ye Yuan, when he did not enter Heart Like Still Water realm, he was also completely clueless.


    Or maybe, the designer of this Eternal Splendor Palace was Lu Linfeng himself!


    Starting from then, Ye Yuan started to plan his escape!


    Ye Yuan did not run away immediately. Because he simply could not escape. Lan Bao''s movement techniques were definitely much quicker than him.


    Provoking Lin Chao to confront him, then luring the other three to attack, but the final goal was to bait Lan Bao to come and attack him!


    This was Ye Yuan''s method to force himself to his wit''s end, leaving no room for escape so that he would fight out of desperation and win. It was also a solution that was not a solution.


    When Lan Bao attacked, Ye Yuan was still inside Heart Like Still Water heart realm and could barely keep up with his movements.


    Hence, he released the Square Cauldron to forcefully withstand Lan Bao strike and to borrow the recoil strength of this blow from him to escape swiftly!


    The Square Cauldron was a profound artifact. Even if Lan Bao''s attack was stronger, it would also be hard to shake it in the slightest.


    Even the escape route was also planned out by Ye Yuan long ago. That strike from Lan Bao did not deviate, sending Ye Yuan exactly to his planned route leading to the entrance of the third level!


    And because of the backlash, it would definitely hinder Lan Bao''s speed of pursuit. In addition, he was wary of Wu Zhao and the rest and might not choose to chase after right away!


    All of this and everything was all within Ye Yuan''s calculations!


    He succeeded!


    Ye Yuan''s movements were extremely swift. He mustered up all the essence energy within his body and did not dare to rest at all. He was afraid of Lan Bao and co chasing after.


    With his present strength, he was completely not Lan Bao''s match.


    "Soon, almost there! Still a bit more left!"


    Ye Yuan tasted sweetness in his throat. A mouthful of blood surged to his chest but was forcefully suppressed by him.


    Lan Bao palm was no joke. That palm shocked his own hands until it went numb. One could imagine just how great the power was!


    Even if there was the Square Cauldron blocking in the middle neutralizing much of the force, that impact force still caused severe injuries to Ye Yuan!


    In truth, when he received that palm, Ye Yuan''s internal organs already suffered serious wounds. His viscera felt terrible as they had shifted positions.


    But Ye Yuan had no time to be in pain. He had to escape at the first moment. Therefore, he forcefully persevere all the way until now!


    The current Ye Yuan was relying completely on his last trace of willpower to forcefully hang on.


    However, mustering essence energy with full force aggravated Ye Yuan''s injuries even further. His consciousness had already become increasingly blurry.


    Ye Yuan already cracked the array formation in his mind previously and figured out the route. But walking toward it at this time felt so distant away.


    He did not have the opportunity to retry once more nor the time to fall unconscious. He must find the entrance to enter the third level!


    Finally, Ye Yuan saw a light pillar ahead. That was the third level''s entrance!


    But . . . the present Ye Yuan had already reached his limits.


    "Is this as far as I go . . ."


    Ye Yuan desperately wanted to move his feet, but they become increasingly heavier.


    The several dozen feet distance was a short distance away, yet poles apart.


    Phhsst!


    Ye Yuan''s injuries finally could not be suppressed anymore and erupted!


    Fresh blood wetted the clothing in front of his chest. The landscape before Ye Yuan became increasingly fuzzier.


    He reached out, desperately wanting to be able to reach the light pillar ahead. But . . . he collapsed in the end.


    In a trance, Ye Yuan saw a strikingly beautiful woman appeared out of the void and reach out a pair of elegant arms to support him. A wave of fragrance hit his nose.


    Then . . . he was out cold.


    Li-er sighed lightly and said, "You have done enough already!"


    . . . . . .


    Roughly an hour later, Wu Zhao and the rest had their dantians sealed, restricting their essence energy.


    And at this time, many more people appeared from the underground passageway again.


    These people were mostly Crystal Formation Realm martial artists. Lan Bao passed the eight sect captives to them and let Lan Yun lead the escort to send them into the Fierce Gale World!


    Once Lan Yun left, Lan Bao said in a grave voice, "Lan Hu, Lan Feng, you guys bring people to guard the entrance area. If Ye Yuan shows up, kill him on the spot!"


    "Yes!" Lan Hu and Lan Feng received the orders and blocked off the entrance completely.


    "Lin Chao, you follow me together with others to ransack this second level completely! I want to see where that brat can hide!" Lan Bao said.


    Since Ye Yuan fled, Lan Bao''s heart had been raging the whole time. If not because the passageway matter was important, he would have long brought people to seek Ye Yuan out.


    Now, everything was settled. He was going to catch a turtle in a jar.

 337 Grand Yan Space!

    Lan Bao brought his subordinates and launched a large manhunt. But after half a day passed, there was nothing.


    Bang!


    The irate Lan Bao slapped a palm on the wall. The wall was fine, but his hand vibrated until it tingled.


    The whole Eternal Splendor Palace had been reinforced with array formations before. It was incomparably sturdy. How could a Sea Transformation Realm damage it with one palm?


    Lan Bao did not wish to lose face in front of his subordinates. He held back the pain and said furiously, "Where on earth did that brat hide to?! Hmm?!"


    Finished talking, he turned to look at Lin Chao.


    Lin Chao smiled bitterly. How would he know where Ye Yuan went?


    The second level was only so big. Places that should be searched had been searched. One could really say that they dug three feet underground but did not even catch a shadow.


    They completely did not find another exit in the second level. Could it be that he could fly up to the skies?


    Lin Chao suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be that . . . he went up the third level?"


    Lan Bao''s face also changed as he asked, "The third level? Where''s the entrance?"


    Lin Chao shook his head and said, "I don''t know! We''ve already searched all the places here. We even scoured the corners of every room. We totally did not find the entrance!"


    With their knowledge, it was simply impossible to think that this second level itself was a large formation.


    Hence, they remained at a loss as to where the hell the third level''s entrance was!


    Just like this, another half a day passed. Lan Bao finally gave up.


    The passageway had just opened up. There were too many things to be done. Lan Bao also could not possibly place all of his energy here constantly.


    But he did not give up, leaving Lan Feng behind to guard the exit.


    . . . . . .


    "Miss, why did you not bring Mister Ye away but send him into the third level instead?" Yan-er asked, being somewhat puzzled.


    "This place is the Dao teachings that the Grand Yan Divine King left behind. Even I''m unable to pry into any secrets in the third level. Perhaps this might be a fortuitous encounter for Mister Ye," Li-er said.


    "So that''s the case . . . But Mister Ye really took every conceivable possibility into account and found a feeble thread of life in the middle of a hopeless situation! This second level is actually a large formation. We didn''t discover it before this, but not only did Mister Ye notice it, he even found the entrance to the third level. Truly remarkable! But sadly . . . he lacked just a tiny bit in the end. If he didn''t encounter Miss, he''d probably . . ."


    Li-er smiled beautifully and said, "Maybe it''s already foreordained by unseen forces for me to help him cross this tiny bit? This thing called fate, who can say it clearly? One can only say that Mister Ye was fated not to die."


    Yan-er''s eyes swirled around, and she asked with a slightly mischievous smile, "Miss, then do you think . . . it''s fate that guided the two of you to come together?"


    Li-er was secretly surprised but shook her head repeatedly and said, "You lass, keep spouting nonsense! Quickly follow those people. Otherwise, we''ll lose them!"


    As she spoke, Li-er ignored Yan-er and left first. Yan-er giggled and also followed.


    Turned out that the two of them master and servant actually followed the escorting team into the Fierce Gale World!


    . . . . . .


    Not knowingly how long had passed, Ye Yuan''s consciousness finally started to recover gradually.


    He struggled to open both eyes, but what he saw was a simple yet elegant study room.


    "This . . . What place is this? I . . . I didn''t die again, right?" Ye Yuan moved his dry lips and muttered to himself.


    "Young man, you aren''t dead yet."


    Right then, an elderly voice was heard.


    Ye Yuan recovered some strength and struggled to sit up. He discovered an elderly person currently sitting at the desk leafing through books.


    Except, his body was transparent. He was actually the same as Lu Yan, a soul body.


    Ye Yuan shook his head hard and tried his best to recall what happened previously. When he finally remembered what happened, he could not help exclaiming in surprise, "Old man, could this be . . . the Eternal Splendor Palace''s third level?"


    The old man ceased his actions of thumbing through books and said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "That''s right. This place is indeed the Eternal Splendor Palace''s third level. Its name is . . . Grand Yan Space."


    Hearing ''Grand Yan Space'' these three words, Ye Yuan nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood again.


    Lu Linfeng this fellow, he really . . .


    Seeing that Ye Yuan''s expression was odd, the old man was also rather perplexed.


    This reaction was not quite right, yeah?


    A Spirit Condensation Realm brat actually had no reaction at all seeing such a profound and mysterious place?


    "Senior, forgive Junior for being unable to get up to salute," Ye Yuan said.


    "It''s fine."


    "May I ask, Senior, did you . . . save me?" Ye Yuan asked rather uncertainly.


    Indeed, the old man shook his head and said, "I believe you can tell as well, I''m just a soul body. I can''t walk out of the Grand Yan Space. Only by entering yourself can you see me."


    Ye Yuan could not help ruminating when he heard this. A lithe and graceful image surfaced in his mind.


    Was it possible that . . . that was not a hallucination?


    I clearly remember that before losing consciousness, there was still several dozen feet distance away from that light pillar. But why did I already enter the third level after waking up?


    But . . . who was that girl? Why did she save me?


    Ye Yuan tried to recall with all his might, wanting to remember that face he saw before fainting.


    But no matter how he recalled, it was a very fuzzy face.


    But even if it was hazy, Ye Yuan could also tell from the outline that that was absolutely a kingdom-toppling beautiful face.


    Ye Yuan unwittingly remembered what happened when Yu Feng ambushed. Could it be that . . . the one who made a move back then was this woman?


    But . . . when he did know a major power like this?


    Ye Yuan thought for a long time and also could not figure out the reason why.


    No matter what, it was naturally a good thing that the woman saved him.


    Ye Yuan secretly remembered that blurry profile. The next time he met her, he definitely had to thank her properly.


    The old man saw that Ye Yuan was absorbed in his thoughts and did not interrupt him either. He just observed this young man quietly by the side.


    He noticed that Ye Yuan did not have the average young person''s rashness and had prudence unsuited with his age.


    Although his realm was not high, for his age, he was already a talented genius.


    After Ye Yuan recovered, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Senior. I was lost in thought just now."


    The old man smiled kindly and said, "It doesn''t matter. I''ve already been inside this Grand Yan Space for several thousand years already and have long polished my edges and corners. Why would I mind this sort of minor thing?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Senior. Talking like this is overly rude. Junior will consume some medicinal pills first to recover a bit of strength before talking with Senior properly. Please excuse me, Senior."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan fished out a medicinal pill from his storage ring to consume and began refining the medicinal strength.


    When that old man saw that medicinal pill, his pupils involuntarily constricted.


    Although the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan took was only Tier 3, its quality was exceedingly high. Furthermore, with his experience and knowledge, he actually could not tell the origin of the medicinal pill!


    One had to know that the Grand Yan True Sect was the Endless World''s strongest sect back then, not one of them!


    The Grand Yan True Sect had Alchemy Sovereign existences. What Endless World''s Tier 3 medicinal pills had he not seen before?


    Yet, he had not seen before the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan consumed!


    Then, something that made him even more flabbergasted and tongue-tied happened . . .

 338 The Two Worldss Secret!

    Under the old man''s perception, Ye Yuan''s aura was rapidly recovering!


    After an hour, Ye Yuan''s injuries were basically already under control.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s complexion go from pale white to rosy, the old man''s eyes were glued to him.


    He had lived for several thousand years and had yet to see such a heaven-defying medicinal pill before.


    Ye Yuan woke up to the old man''s expression and could not help asking, "Senior, what''s wrong with you?"


    "Ah? Oh! What medicinal pill did you consume earlier? To actually have such miraculous effects! Your injuries were very severe. Although you had already taken medicinal pills to treat internal injuries, it''s hard to recover without a month of quiet rest. But you actually recovered in an hour!" the old man exclaimed in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill. It has some effects in treating internal injuries. My master imparted me the pill formula."


    "Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill?" The old man searched his brain for a moment but apparently did not find the relevant content.


    In order to prevent this old man from thinking too much, Ye Yuan changed the topic and said, "How should I address Senior?"


    Only then did the old man return to the present and hurriedly said, "This old man is Wei Xiao. You can call me Old Wei."


    Ye Yuan went forward to greet, saying, "Junior has seen Old Wei. Is Old Wei somebody from the Grand Yan True Sect?"


    Wei Xiao nodded happily and said, "That''s right. You actually know the Grand Yan True Sect''s name. Could it be that my Grand Yan True Sect''s name is still circulating in the world?"


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Actually, I heard this name from the mouth of a Fierce Gale World''s martial artist."


    Wei Xiao''s smile instantly froze on his face. He said in bewilderment, "What are you talking about?! The passageway between the Fierce Gale World and Endless World has already been sealed off by my sect''s Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! How can you possibly have met a Fierce Gale World''s martial artist?"


    Ye Yuan recounted the events in the mystic realm for Wei Xiao to hear. Wei Xiao was silent for a long time after listening to it. Finally, he let out a long sigh.


    "My Grand Yan True Sect sealed off the realm passageway by sacrificing the entire sect as the price, but to think that it eventually fell short of success one day!" Finished talking, Wei Xiao''s tears already covered his old face.


    Ye Yuan thought to himself that it was indeed like so. But he asked curiously, "May I ask just what in the world happened back then, Old Wei? Why did the Grand Yan True Sect sacrifice the entire sect to seal off the passageway?"


    Wei Xiao sighed faintly, his eyes revealing a reminiscing look as he said pensively, "Recalling back then, when my Grand Yan True Sect was flourishing in its heyday, we awed the entire Endless World using the array formations path. Our limelight knew no equal. But the weather can change abruptly . . ."


    Turned out that roughly four thousand years ago, the Endless World and Fierce Gale World, these two worlds suddenly converged together and formed a spatial passageway!


    Ever since then, the Fierce Gale World launched a large-scale invasion from the spatial passageway!


    Different from the Endless World''s comfortable living conditions, the reason why the Fierce Gale World was named Fierce Gale was because over there, piercingly cold gales blew all year-around; four seasons a year!


    Harsh living conditions as well as scarce cultivation resources made each martial artist who matured very powerful!


    Some inklings about this point could also be somewhat seen from the Lan clan brothers.


    The Endless World had rich resources, and the living conditions were very mild. How could the Fierce Gale World let this chance pass by?


    Ye Yuan nodded when he heard that and said, "Fierce Gale World martial artists are indeed powerful. In the same realm, Endless World martial artists will most likely find it hard to contend with them."


    Ye Yuan''s judgment was exceedingly high and had long seen through the differences between the Lan clan brothers and the Endless World martial artists.


    But Wei Xiao said scornfully, "It''s true that Fierce Gale World martial artists are strong, but our Endless World''s resources are abundant. The overall strength of our martial artists is not weaker than theirs! Furthermore, when our Grand Yan True Sect was at its prime back then, exterminating the other side''s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses was a cinch!"


    Ye Yuan did not refute. Lu Linfeng that fellow''s character was somewhat wretchedly miserly, but he truly had the capabilities.


    The Dao teachings that he left behind was bound to be unbelievably powerful.


    Furthermore, calculating the time, Lu Linfeng should not have ascended for a long time back then. At most several hundred to a thousand years. Wei Xiao saying that they were at their prime was naturally within reason.


    Then that was odd. With the foundations that Lu Linfeng left behind, the Grand Yan True Sect should not go so far as to sacrifice the entire sect to seal off the passageway. Unless . . .


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he blurted out, "Is it possible that the Fierce Gale World . . . is actually a high-order small world?"


    This time, it was Wei Xiao''s turn to be perplexed. "Looks like you know quite a bit. To actually even know about high-order small worlds! That''s right, my Grand Yan True Sect only came to know later that the Fierce Gale World''s Realmlord is actually a Boundless Realm powerhouse know as Wind Emperor! If we allow the war to continue developing freely, the aftermath would be too ghastly to contemplate!"


    Putting aside the Divine Realm, there were countless lower realm small worlds. And they were split according to the small world''s degree of essence energy limitation, dividing into high-order, middle-order, and low-order, these three levels.


    The limit that high-order small worlds could withstand was Tier 6, Boundless Realm, while the limit for middle-order smalls worlds was at Tier 5, Divine Traversing Realm!


    Theoretically speaking, when martial artists surpassed this world''s essence energy limitations, they could shatter the void and ascend to the Divine Realm!


    Only then did Ye Yuan saw the light. He mumbled, "So that''s how it is!"


    Wei Xiao said with mixed feelings, "My Grand Yan True Sect reigned above the Endless World''s sects and enjoyed innumerable resources. Naturally, we also have to take on responsibilities! Hence, the sect master made an extremely tough decision. All six of the sect''s Formation Sovereign powerhouses cast the Tier 6 grand array, Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, by sacrificing their divine souls as the price, and moved the entire sect to the sealing area using a great arcane magic to hold down the seal!"


    Listening to Wei Xiao finish speaking, Ye Yuan also felt great respect.


    Sacrificing oneself to achieve a righteous cause. Speaking of such things was easy, but when it really came down to their turn, it would require immense resolution!


    Let alone back then, the ones sacrificing themselves were not just the sect master alone, but all of the sovereign level powerhouses in the Grand Yan True Sect!


    Lu Linfeng''s character had always been held in contempt by Ye Yuan. But his disciples and followers left Ye Yuan no choice but to hold great esteem for them.


    Not everyone could shoulder such a responsibility!


    It was precisely because of the Grand Yan True Sect''s sacrifice that exchanged for these several millennia of peace for the Endless World.


    Tier 6 grand array was a grand formation that surpassed the limitations of the Endless World. Divine Traversing Realm experts naturally had to pay a price if they wanted to cross this limit.


    And the price was their lives!


    Ye Yuan got up and bowed deeply towards Wei Xiao, saying, "Senior and the rest''s actions fill people with deep veneration. Please accept this bow from Junior."


    As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan''s soul was not an Endless World''s native. But he rebirthed in Ye Yuan''s body currently, so he naturally counted as a person from the Endless World too.


    Even so, Wei Xiao was not worthy of a bow from Ye Yuan anyway.


    This bow from Ye Yuan was done on behalf of Ye Hang and Ren Hongling.


    Without the Grand Yan True Sect''s sacrifice, there would also naturally not be Ye Hang and Ren Hongling, and there also would not be the present Ye Yuan.


    Wei Xiao waved his hands and said with a sigh, "You don''t need to bow to me. I just hate that my realm back then was insufficient and was unable to participate in the setting up of the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array. Otherwise, I also wouldn''t have let Sect Master personally join in no matter what! Sect Master was an incredible prodigy who would surely have been able to follow Founding Father''s footsteps and ascend to the Divine Realm. But he suffered such an undeserved catastrophe! Sigh . . ."


    Listening up to here, Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly.


    He could also tell from Wei Xiao''s words that the Grand Yan True Sect''s sect master back then was definitely extremely powerful.


    After ascending to the Divine Realm, he could probably have been able to follow by the Grand Yan Divine King''s side. Becoming a Divine King powerhouse would not be hard.

 339 Array Formations Three Volumes

    "Old Wei has guarded here for thousands of years. Just this loneliness can match the people who died in battle back then." Ye Yuan consoled him.


    It was unlikely that Wei Xiao holed himself up inside this Grand Yan Space in order to avoid the chaotic war. He definitely had a role to fulfill.


    Wei Xiao sighed again and said, "Since the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is already broken, the Endless World will surely fall into a chaotic war again. But in this time and age, who can execute the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array once again? Forget it, forget it. This is already matters after one''s death. Leave it to you young people to worry about!"


    His gaze turned to Ye Yuan and said again, "You''ve already seen through the second level''s array formation and found the Grand Yan Space''s entrance. This means that you''re a fated individual. My Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance needs to rely on you to carry forward!"


    Hearing Wei Xiao''s words, Ye Yuan''s expression unwittingly became odd again.


    Back then, he wanted to obtain Lu Linfeng''s Formations Path Nine Scripts but did not get it. Who knew that vicissitudes of the world would change? He actually became his successor now, becoming his disciple.


    If he met Lu Linfeng in the Divine Realm in the future, would he jeer at him or not?


    Once he thought of that smug smirk of Lu Linfeng''s, the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth involuntarily twitched.


    When Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he thought that Ye Yuan did not wish to receive the Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance. He urged, "What is it? Could it be that you''re unwilling? Young man, do you know what my Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance signifies?"


    Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Old Wei has already said before to Junior. How can Junior not know?"


    "Since that''s the case, what misgivings do you still have?" Wei Xiao''s facial expression became somewhat unhappy.


    When the Grand Yan True Sect was at its zenith, it was one sect with six sovereigns. Such a line-up was rarely seen since time immemorial too.


    Such an amazing inheritance, giving it to others, they would have already been moved long ago until they were wailing inordinately. This brat actually had a face full of unwillingness.


    Ye Yuan was filled with resentment in his heart. Even if you, old man, are a freaking genius, you also won''t be able to guess what scruples I have!


    When he met Lu Linfeng that old man in the Divine Realm next time, did he have to go forward and give a deep bow and call him ''Founding Father''?


    Just thinking about it felt absurd!


    If I dared to bow, would that old man dare to accept?


    Better not say that. He might really . . . No, he would definitely dare to accept it!


    Heh, screw him. If I behave shamelessly and refuse to acknowledge when the time comes, what can that old punk do to me?


    "Old Wei misunderstood. You don''t know this, but this Junior is one of the Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sect''s Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple; someone with a master. I''m afraid . . ." Ye Yuan casually found a reason.


    Old Wei did not become angry when he heard that. Instead, he nodded approvingly and said, "You respect your teachers and esteem truth, which shows that you, boy, are worthy of my entrustment! Don''t you worry, I don''t want you to enter the Grand Yan True Sect. But you have to promise me to definitely find a successor to pass on my Grand Yan True Sect''s Dao teachings!"


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "That''s of course! Junior thanks Old Wei first!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan flowing with true sentiments, Wei Xiao lauded even more in his heart. It was hard to come by that this young man actually respected his master and teachings so much. He was surely an honorable person!


    How could Wei Xiao know that Ye Yuan did not even have a sectarian bias in his heart at all?


    He was fine with acknowledging anyone as master. Just so long as he did not have to call Lu Linfeng that old fellow ''Founding Father.''


    At the thought of that proud look from Lu Linfeng, Ye Yuan would feel abhorrence in his heart.


    Since Ye Yuan did not need to enter the Grand Yan True Sect, then he naturally did not need to call him founding father. Ye Yuan obviously flowed with true sentiments.


    But Ye Yuan was not that kind of faithless person. Things that he promised Wei Xiao, he would naturally accomplish them.


    Wei Xiao waved his hands and said, "No need to thank me with words. For you to be able to pass through the layer upon layer of trials to arrive here means you''re the person selected by my Grand Yan True Sect. I waited for thousands of years here for your sake."


    "En? Old Wei''s meaning is that . . . the various types of array formations in this mystic realm was in order to select a successor?" Ye Yuan''s mind was astute. When he recollected everything that happened along the way, he involuntarily produced a hint of understanding.


    Wei Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "That is so, of course! After the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array was completed, the sect master set up this selection method before passing! One who is able to pass through the layers of tests to enter here will be my Grand Yan True Sect''s successor!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being filled with a vicissitude of emotions again. That generation''s Grand Yan True Sect Sect Master was indeed a prodigious talent. The ingenuity of his mind, the might of his strength, were matched by few.


    The entire mystic realm was enclosed by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array. Firstly, it could prevent high-level martial artists from entering and destroying the seal. Secondly, it could lower the age and realm of the selected individual.


    The Confounding Mist Forest was similarly extremely profound. Without exceedingly high array formation attainments, one would simply be unable to walk out of it. At the back, there was the even more powerful Absolute Blaze Barrier Grand Array, as well as seeking out the array formation for the third level''s entrance. Each layer was interlinked.


    Although this level of design was a little brutal, it could genuinely select the person that the Grand Yan True Sect needed.


    "It''s just that I never thought that the one who arrived here, in the end, would be a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist!" Wei Xiao shook his head and said with a smile.


    "Oh? Is Old Wei looking down on me, this Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist?" Ye Yuan also said with a smile.


    "Haha! You, boy, are quite persistent. I like that! But some things, you got to accept it even if you don''t want to. Your realm is too low. To be able to reach this place most likely has a large part to do with luck as well."


    Ye Yuan asked with a smile, "How so?"


    Wei Xiao ignored Ye Yuan''s deriding look and continued, "Don''t be unconvinced. I know that your attainments in the array formations path likely isn''t shallow. But my Grand Yan True Sect''s pinnacle inheritance is the Array Formations Three Volumes. Before Founding Father Grand Yan True Lord ascended to the Divine Realm, he left this within the Grand Yan Space. It''s not some secret cultivation law, but it requires you to comprehend it yourself. Sect Master''s talent back then was immensely high. But even with Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm cultivation, he only comprehended 50% of it. At your young age, do you want to challenge Sect Master?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled but did not dispute it.


    Although he knew that the sect master was a prodigious talent, Ye Yuan himself was likewise a peerless genius. This point, he had never humbled himself unduly before!


    One was a lower plane''s pinnacle genius, while the other was a Divine Realm''s pinnacle genius. The two people were not even on the same plane to begin with!


    Even if Ye Yuan refuted, Wei Xiao naturally would not believe either.


    But the name of this Array Formations Three Volumes drew Ye Yuan''s attention.


    He knew that Lu Linfeng''s greatest asset was the Formations Path Nine Scripts. Presumably, it was derived from this Array Formations Three Volumes!


    This Array Formations Three Volumes should be Lu Linfeng''s pinnacle work before ascending.


    It was just a pity that after he ascended, nobody else in the Grand Yan True Sect could reach his level anymore.


    Of course, this was also a normal phenomenon.


    After all, the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng, was an existence that could laugh proudly and wander the Divine Realm as he pleased. How many people could measure up to his talent?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s disapproving look, Wei Xing unwittingly shook his head inwardly.


    This Ye Yuan indeed had exceptional composure. But he was still young and spirited after all, and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!


    But . . . who was not young before?


    Even the sect master at that time, didn''t he also fear nothing and no one?


    Let this brat take a hit, then he will know and repent!

 340 Stone Book

    "Alright then. Since that''s the case, follow me," Wei Xiao said and exited the study room first.


    Walking out of the door, Ye Yuan''s eye suddenly lit up. It was as if he had arrived at an otherworldly paradise.


    A small bridge over a flowing stream; Pavilions, terraces, and towers. There was even a peach blossom forest in full bloom right beside.


    The stunning scenery gave people a completely relaxed and refreshing feeling.


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing in admiration. Lu Linfeng actually already had such strength before ascending. No wonder he could affirm his Dao as the Grand Yan Divine King.


    There was an open space not far from outside the door. Three stone book volumes were placed in that open space.


    "This is the Array Formations Three Volumes?" Ye Yuan asked uncertainly.


    Wei Xiao nodded and said, "That''s right. Insert your divine sense into one of the volumes, and you''ll naturally understand."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and sent his divine sense into the left-hand side stone book as told.


    Suddenly, a suction force appeared. It actually sucked all of Ye Yuan''s divine sense into the book volume.


    By the time he recovered, Ye Yuan had already plunged into limitless darkness.


    But Ye Yuan did not panic. With his experience and knowledge, he could obviously tell that this was a place that was the same as consciousness space.


    Looked like Lu Linfeng''s array formations realm before he ascended had already surpassed this plane by far too much.


    Without making Ye Yuan wait for too long, a smidgeon of light started to appear within the darkness. That was a light mote.


    Right after, more and more light motes begun appearing. The dots of light made Ye Yuan feel as though he was within a vast expanse of starry sky.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, but he shook his head and said with a laugh, "I didn''t think that a casual choice would hit the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation."


    If one did not understand array formations, they would naturally be unable to comprehend the meaning of these light motes.


    But Ye Yuan was a Tier 9 Formations Emperor. Comprehending it posed no difficulty at all.


    The array formation looked unbelievably profound. But any great Dao would go from simple to complex, from easy to difficult.


    Even more complicated array formations could be broken down into single individual small units.


    This small unit was known as an array element in the array formations path.


    And the meaning that these light motes represented was each array element of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    Formations path was the same as martial artists comprehending concepts. They were all stuff that could only be sensed, but not explained in words. There was simply no way of using words to describe them.


    Hence, Lu Linfeng set up such an Array Formations Three Volumes consciousness space to let descent disciples enter inside to comprehend.


    But Ye Yuan already fully comprehended this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, so he naturally did not need to waste any more time.


    But the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation here was quite a bit more profound than the one Ye Yuan comprehended.


    Evidently, Lu Linfeng''s comprehension of it before ascending went up another level.


    Ye Yuan spent an hour''s time to fully comprehend the improved Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    His divine sense willed and he withdrew out of this consciousness space.


    When Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan exit, he enquired with a smile, "How do you feel, young man? Comprehending formations is extremely time-consuming. There''s simply no way to accomplish it at one stroke. You''d better stay here to cultivate diligently and slowly comprehend it!"


    Ye Yuan flashed a brilliant beam and said, "Feels very simple! Old Wei, I''ll go comprehend the next array formation!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan came directly in front of the second stone volume and sunk his divine sense into it once again, leaving Wei Xiao with a frozen look on his face.


    The corner of Wei Xiao''s mouth twitched twice, and his expression became odd.


    Simple?


    This boy is putting up a front in order to look impressive, right?


    Originally, I still thought that this boy was rather reliable. Why does he look increasingly less trustworthy now?


    Would the things left behind by a heaven-defying character like Founding Father be simple?


    One had to know that Founding Father was only at the Divine Traversing Realm when he ascended. But he had already created a Tier 6 array formation like the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!


    Wei Xiao''s face unwittingly showed thick disappointment. Seemed like he still needed to use some means to make this boy study the Array Formations Three Volumes in a down-to-earth manner.


    But he had already stayed in the Grand Yan Space for thousands of year. There was no rush to do it now.


    After entering the second array formation, Ye Yuan''s pressure clearly became much greater.


    Of course, that was with respect to the first array formation.


    Comprehending the array formation in this consciousness space was vastly different from the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation comprehended previously.


    At that time, the pressure that those sword puppets gave Ye Yuan was huge. Ye Yuan needed to place most of his energy on dealing with the sword puppets.


    But in here, not only were there no threats from sword puppets, Lu Linfeng even broke down the array formation into each individual, most basic array element. Ye Yuan comprehending it was naturally twice the result with half the effort.


    This second array formation was none other than the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!


    To be able to seal off the passageway between two worlds, this Six Extreme Seals Grand Array was obviously impossibly powerful, and also exceptionally profound and complex!


    Ye Yuan spent a full half days'' time to fully comprehend it as well.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan only spent four hours on comprehending the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.


    This to others was a result to be extremely proud of. But to Ye Yuan, it was not something worth flaunting much.


    After all, this was only the array formation that Lu Linfeng left behind before ascending. While it was already powerful to the extreme in the lower planes, to Ye Yuan this Tier 9 formations master, the difficulty was not that great.


    If Ye Yuan was made to comprehend the Formations Path Nine Scripts, he reckoned that without one or two decades, it would be hard to have minor accomplishments in it.


    The Grand Yan Divine King''s present strength was far more than a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than when he ascended.


    The degree of complexity of the Formations Path Nine Scripts was simply incomparable to this Array Formation Three Volumes.


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense withdrew again. He noticed that the eyes Wei Xiao looked at him with became somewhat different; an exasperated look like he failed to live up to expectations.


    "What? The Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is also very simple? The time spent this time is a little longer eh?"


    Ye Yuan could noticeably tell that Wei Xiao''s words carried thick displeasure.


    He laughed and said, "En, en, also not too difficult either. Let''s talk again after I finish comprehending the third set of array formations first.


    Wei Xiao''s eyes opened wide as he said, "You''re not saying that you''ve already fully comprehended the first two array formations, right?"


    "Hur hur, yeah."


    With that, Ye Yuan''s divine sense sunk one more time into the third stone volume . . .


    Wei Xiao was so angered that he nearly cuffed Ye Yuan''s ears. He said huffily, "This child can''t be taught! If the Array Formations Three Volumes are so easy to comprehend, then wouldn''t my Grand Yan True Sect be a joke?!"


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s divine sense had already sunk into the stone book and could not hear his words.


    The third set of array formation, Ye Yuan spent an entire day!


    This was an illusionary array named Asura Confounding Formation.


    This Asura Confounding Formation was only a Tier 5 array formation. But the comprehending difficulty was even greater than the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!


    When he finished comprehending this set of array formation, Ye Yuan also felt like collapsing.


    Although this set of array formation was an illusionary array, the danger level was absolutely even greater than the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!


    It was just that with Ye Yuan''s current strength, he was simply unable to set it up.


    But having finished comprehending these three sets of array formations, Ye Yuan also had a clear understanding of Lu Linfeng''s array formation system.


    His Formations Path Nine Scripts should have been progressively developed and evolved from these three sets of array formations.


    Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan''s dog-tired appearance, he did not have the slightest hint of pity. He said in an icy tone, "Young man, already know how daunting it is? Don''t reach for what''s beyond your grasp as a person. This Array Formations Three Volumes is enough for you to digest for the rest of your life!"

 341 Being Enlightened

    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "But these three array formations really aren''t hard!"


    The disappointment on Wei Xiao''s face grew even thicker. "Still being stubborn! These three array formations are where the essence of Founding Father''s formation path lies. You, a tiny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, actually dare to outrageously say that it''s simple? Truly unaware of how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"


    Ye Yuan was helpless. He knew that no matter how he explained, this old fellow would not believe it either.


    Nonchalantly taking out a pile of low-grade essence crystals, Ye Yuan said to Wei Xiao with a smile, "Old Wei, look closely!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan casually struck out those low-grade essence crystals around the vicinity of a peach tree.


    As the last piece of essence crystal got in position, those essence crystals suddenly lit up, and actually flew on their own, surrounding that peach tree as they spun.


    Finally, the brilliant rays of light radiated by those essence crystals covered the peach tree.


    After a few moments, the luster dissipated completely. That peach tree did not exist anymore. It was actually utterly obliterated already!


    Wei Xiao''s face was filled with astoundment!


    His shock was obviously not because of the peach tree''s annihilation but due to the array formation that Ye Yuan laid out!


    "This is the simplified version of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation," Ye Yuan said.


    As he said, he took out another pile of low-grade essence crystals and casually struck them out.


    A huge commotion of light like before, but it thoroughly isolated the peach tree.


    "This is the simplified Six Extreme Seals Grand Array," Ye Yuan continued saying.


    Ye Yuan was still waiting to lay out the Asura Confounding Formation when he was halted by Wei Xiao. "No need, no need anymore! I-I believe you! But, h-how is this possible?"


    Wei Xiao''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was like he had seen a ghost. Wei Xiao had stayed in this place for thousands of years and was all too familiar with these three sets of array formations.


    Although the simplified array formations did not have such incredible might, the principle was the same.


    Ye Yuan''s technique when laying out the formation flowed smoothly and naturally. Clearly, he was already crystal clear with the array formations.


    Wei Xiao only gradually digested this outcome after a long while. Except, the bewildered look on his face grew even thicker.


    "Back then, the prodigious sect master took five hundred years to comprehend 50% - 60% of the Array Formations Three Volumes. You''re only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. You . . . How did you do it?" Wei Xiao was even somewhat tongue-tied when speaking.


    Ye Yuan put on an innocent face and said, "I don''t know either. I just looked at it like that and understood it."


    Ye Yuan was also not deliberately trying to anger Wei Xiao. He could not very well say that he was a Tier 9 array master in his previous life and understanding Tier 5 or Tier 6 array formations was not all that difficult, right?


    But Wei Xiao was still riled. The expression on his face right now was fascinating to the extreme. If he was not a soul body currently, he would probably spew out three liters of blood, right?


    What did he mean by just looked at it like that and understood it?


    Something that others might not necessarily comprehend even if they spent hundreds and thousands of years, you understood after looking for less than two days. Do you still want people to live?


    The one Wei Xiao admired most in this lifetime was Sect Master. But looking at it now, there was utterly no way of comparing Sect Master to this youth in front of him!


    This was too depressing!


    Nothing was more dismal than your idol being defeated!


    This sentence from Ye Yuan also blocked off all of Wei Xiao''s questions.


    I''m just this much of a genius. No other reason. Things that were as hard as climbing up to the sky to others was as simple as turning over my hand to me. What did you want to ask?


    At this instant, Wei Xiao really felt like he was an old person smacked down by the new generation.


    "Alright then, since you''ve already comprehended the Array Formations Three Volumes, follow me now."


    Ye Yuan followed Wei Xiao back to the study. Wei Xiao beckoned with one hand. A small and exquisite flag cut through the air into Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Wei Xiao said, "This is my Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master''s token. With it around, my Grand Yan True Sect''s legacy will never be extinguished! In the future, when you look for a successor, pass these three sets of array formations and this flag to him, and it will be considered as fulfilling my long-cherished wish!"


    Ye Yuan played around with the flag and exclaimed with some surprise, "This flag is actually a profound artifact!"


    Wei Xiao nodded and said, "That''s right. This is an array formation profound artifact named Profound Water Flag. Using it can raise the speed of you setting up array formations by 50%. Tier 3 and below array formations can be instantly formed through the flag!"


    The larger scale the array formation, the longer the set up time.


    It was already very heaven-defying for this flag to be able to raise the speed of setup by 50%.


    Ye Yuan said in delight, "Excellent stuff!"


    "Additionally, your realm is too low. This Grand Yan Space still has an array formation setup within it. Its name is Enlightening Formation. As for what realm you can break through to, that will have to depend on yourself," Wei Xiao explained.


    "En? That''s excellent! Thank you very much, Old Wei! Let''s hurry up and begin! My fellow disciples'' life and death are currently unknown. I''m very worried about their safety and want to go back quickly." Ye Yuan gave thanks to him.


    Wei Xiao nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, I''ll activate the array formation now!"


    Wei Xiao brought Ye Yuan to a hidden room and made Ye Yuan enter it. The array formation activated and then colossal amounts of essence energy began to gather within the secret room!


    Enlightening Formation was an array formation even higher rank than the Spirit Gathering Formation. It could amass enormous amounts of essence energy instantaneously and provide it for martial artists endlessly; just like swallowing cultivation medicinal pills non-stop!


    Soon enough, layers of fog appeared inside the hidden room. The thick essence energy had already condensed to form mist!


    Ye Yuan absorbed the essence energy greedily into his body and refined them.


    In truth, ever since divine soul perfection previously, Ye Yuan could have taken advantage of the momentum to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. But he kept lacking the opportunity.


    Now that he was refining essence energy unceasingly, the spirit liquid within his body condensed with exceptional speed. Very soon, he broke through the bottleneck for the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    Outside the formation, Wei Xiao was astonished once again. "Why would this boy absorb so much essence energy to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? Furthermore, his breakthrough to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually did not have any hints of a bottleneck! Looks like his cultivation realm comprehension had long surpassed the standards of Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This boy is truly remarkable!"


    At this time, Wei Xiao no longer doubted Ye Yuan''s degree of genius.


    And right then, the spirit liquid within Ye Yuan''s Dantian became increasingly more satiated and gradually reach a saturated state!


    Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!


    The next step was condensing and forming crystal!


    Right at this moment, the cultivation method that Ye Yuan was revolving changed quietly!


    The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s human chapter''s third level cultivation law revolved in full force! He actually wanted to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly!


    "What? Does he want to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm right away? Too reckless! He went from the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm to Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In between, he crossed an entire minor realm. He actually didn''t even consolidate his realm and didn''t cross it from Half-Step Crystal Formation Realm, breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly. Seriously too reckless!" Wei Xiao was frightened by Ye Yuan''s act.


    He made Ye Yuan enter this formation to let him break through to Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, not to let him break through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly.


    Who knew that this boy kept doing some unimaginable things? Without even catching his breath, he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly!


    Ye Yuan did not have so many misgivings and completely did not plan on crossing from Half-Step Crystal Formation Realm either. He planned on breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm right from the start!

 342 Nine-Nine Return to One, Crystal Formation Realm!

    Ye Yuan already laid his foundation extremely solid during the Spirit Condensation Realm. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm now was something that happened without effort.


    Sometimes, breaking through realms also needed to be done in a single vigorous effort. Being overly cautious would adversely affect the success rate of breaking through instead.


    When Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already accumulated this momentum to the peak condition.


    Choosing to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm right now was the best option!


    Nine-nine, 81 spirit liquid drops seethed inside Ye Yuan''s dantian. Ye Yuan''s aura rose continuously without pause!


    Under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, these nine-nine, 81 spirit liquid drops, actually started revolving in high speed inside Ye Yuan''s dantian!


    At this time, Ye Yuan did not compress the spirit liquid within his dantian but circulated these spirit liquid to let them swim inside his meridians!


    The revolving spirit liquid gradually formed a vortex. The more it revolved, the faster it went! The more it revolved, the lesser it became!


    That vortex shrunk at a speed discernible to the naked eye. All the spirit liquid transformed into essence energy inside Ye Yuan''s body and begun circulating.


    Finally, that vortex shrunk to the limit, virtually disappearing.


    "Nine-nine return to one! Condense!" Ye Yuan howled.


    An extremely soft splitting sound seemed to have come from inside the dantian.


    Looking over closely, Ye Yuan''s dantian actually had an additional extremely tiny crystal. And that crystal was still revolving at high speeds.


    Right at this moment, the essence energy within Ye Yuan''s body just happened to finish circulating one complete cycle, returning to the dantian once more.


    When the essence energy returned to the dantian, it was immediately drawn in by the crystal, circling one round around the crystal before flowing towards the meridians once again.


    And at this time, that tiny crystal expanded by a bit!


    "This brat, such a large commotion breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm?" Wei Xiao involuntarily furrowed his brows.


    The essence energy inside the array formation poured into Ye Yuan''s body crazily, but Ye Yuan took it all in.


    The essence energy was like floodwaters that opened the gate, filling Wei Xiao who was watching with apprehension.


    Ye Yuan''s body was akin to a bottomless pit. No matter how the floodwater poured in, it could not be filled!


    81 spirit liquid drops forming a crystal had probably never appeared before in the Endless World''s history. Therefore, Ye Yuan''s upheaval when breaking through appeared tpp outrageous in Wei Xiao''s eyes.


    The frenzied essence energy kept circulating a great circulatory cycle inside Ye Yuan''s body without stopping. That small crystal was also expanding continuously.


    Finally, after orbiting nine-nine, 81 great circulatory cycles, Ye Yuan''s aura withdrew abruptly, ceasing the frenzied absorption of essence energy.


    And presently, a pale yellow crystal suspended peacefully in the center of his dantian.


    Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm!


    Wei Xiao''s gaze grew intent, but he heaved a long sigh and muttered to himself, "Heh, this brat really succeeded! Seriously reckless!"


    Ye Yuan also breathed a slow breath of turbid air but did not ease up.


    To other martial artists, divine soul transformation was a very relaxed step. But to him, this was a deadly step!


    Before long, the essence energy which had just calmed down became agitated again.


    Ye Yuan''s mind suddenly burst in pain. The torment of the divine soul ripping apart came once again!


    This sort of perverse transformation manner really made Ye Yuan feel like going crazy.


    He knew that this kind of transformation was because of those golden texts inside his sea of consciousness. He also knew that he would obtain even greater benefits from such a transformation.


    But the anguish experienced during this process was unimaginable by ordinary people!


    This time, Ye Yuan was mentally prepared long ago. Clenching his teeth tightly, his pair of fists also balled up tightly.


    Even so, a series of muffled groans was still emitted from his throat.


    Right at this moment, that black bead which had been lying quietly inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness the entire time stirred!


    The black bead quivered slightly and actually shook off some black powder.


    When the black powder fell off, it instantly vanished.


    Immediately after, Ye Yuan felt a trace of cool refreshingness coming from within his sea of consciousness. His head which initially felt like it was exploding actually did not ache anymore!


    However, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that his divine soul was still being ripped apart.


    The present Ye Yuan was like a spectator observing his own divine soul being torn bit by bit coldly.


    Finally, those golden characters moved out!


    These golden characters were like exquisite tailors, sewing up Ye Yuan''s shredded divine soul again. But there were no fissures at all!


    "Huuuu . . ."


    Ye Yuan spat out a long breath of turbid air. The divine soul transformation finally ended!


    "What in the world is that black bead, to actually have such miraculous effects?"


    As a Divine Realm''s pinnacle existence once, Ye Yuan actually had not heard of such a miraculous black bead before. It was clear that its origins were absolutely extraordinary!


    It was just that from the surface, he simply could not tell this black bead''s value. It also did not have any unusual aspects.


    If it were not sucked inside his sea of consciousness by the golden characters, he would probably have treated it the same as garbage and threw it aside, right?


    Sensing the power belonging to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, Ye Yuan felt like he was brimming with strength!


    The crystal within Ye Yuan''s dantian was formed by the condensation of nine-nine, 81 drops of spirit liquid. The quality was much higher than the average First Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Disregarding all else, just talking about essence energy, Ye Yuan''s current First Level Crystal Formation Realm was not in any way weaker than the average Third Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    When Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan walk straight out of the hidden room, he could not help being stunned.


    "Why did you come out so soon? You just broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm. Aren''t you going to consolidate your realm?" Wei Xiao asked puzzledly.


    Most people would have to enter closed-seclusion for a period of time after newly breaking through realms to consolidate their realm. Who would exit seclusion directly like Ye Yuan?


    "No need. Old Wei, thank you for your care these two days, but I''m still worried about my fellow apprentices, so I''ll bid my farewell here. No matter what, I have to confirm their life and death!" Ye Yuan said.


    Wei Xiao said, "I can understand your feelings. But even if you broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, leaving also can''t change anything, right? In my opinion, you should stay here to raise your cultivation well, and leave after reaching the Soul Sea Realm. Only this way will you have the strength for self-preservation in the war between two worlds!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The Six Extreme Seals is unbelievably powerful. It can only be damaged further from Endless World''s side. But even if the seal was destroyed right now, the Fierce Gale World would not be able to launch a massive attack for some time too. Even if my fellow apprentices are no longer around, I also have to hurry back to the sect. I don''t wish for my friends to meet with any mishap!"


    Wei Xiao sighed and said, "Since your mind is made up, I won''t hold you anymore. But since the passageway between the two worlds is already linked together, you have to take care of yourself after leaving."


    Finished talking, Wei Xiao brought Ye Yuan to a transmission array.


    Ye Yuan bowed deeply in Wei Xiao''s direction and said his goodbyes, "Take care, Old Wei!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan stepped into the transmission array.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred, and when he reappeared, he returned to the second level of the Eternal Splendor Palace again!


    Currently, the Eternal Splendor Palace was devoid of people, looking rather bleak.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate and walked directly towards the direction of the exit.


    Ye Yuan was just about to go down one level when alarm bells suddenly sounded. A silhouette leaped out from the side. Who could it be but Lan Feng who was guarding here?


    "You finally came out! I''ve waited for you for very long!"This is nine by nine, so just nine-nine.

 343 Thousand Flowing Petals Showing Its Might Again!

    "Mm? Having not seen you for a few days, you actually broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm already!"


    Sensing the aura coming off of Ye Yuan''s body, Lan Feng felt rather surprised.


    But it was merely just a little surprised. The strength of a First Level Crystal Formation Realm was inadequate to make him take it to heart.


    What made Lan Feng truly wary was still those puppets. But he also figured out his plan too. As long as he did not enter the array formation, Ye Yuan would not be able to do anything to him.


    But when Ye Yuan saw Lan Feng, he grinned instead and said, "Your gall really isn''t small. To actually dare block me here alone."


    "Doesn''t matter. I''ve already asked my comrades for help. I just have to persevere until they arrive here! Although those puppets of yours are impressive, you''re still not qualified to defeat me quickly!" Lan Feng said derisively.


    Fierce Gale World martial artists advocated personal martial force most of all and disliked assistance from external items. They were very disdainful of Ye Yuan''s methods.


    Lan Feng hoped to see a panicky expression on Ye Yuan''s face, but he was disappointed.


    Not only was there not a trace of panic to be seen on his face, but Ye Yuan was also so composed that it made him a little flustered.


    Freaking absurd! Lan Feng cursed inwardly.


    "That''s also to say that as long as I finish you off before your comrades arrive, then it''s all good?" Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    "Harrumph! Wild arrogance!" Lan Feng was furious when he heard that.


    "Enough crap. Come on!" Ye Yuan extended a hand. Canghua Sword appeared in his hand.


    But Lan Feng did not make a move. He was afraid that Ye Yuan would suddenly release the sword puppets. Once he fell into the array formation, it would not be easy for him to want to free himself.


    This Lan Feng looked like he had a straightforward personality at first glance, but it did not mean that he was dumb.


    The anxious one right now was Ye Yuan, not him. He just had to waste time.


    And this was also all taught to him by Big Brother Lan Bao.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You''re not coming? Then I''m coming!"


    Ye Yuan wielded his sword and pointed at Lan Feng. Exquisite flower petals started appearing in the air!


    Seeing this scene, Lan Feng''s complexion changed drastically!


    This fellow was actually able to maneuver heaven and earth essence energy!


    He thought that what Ye Yuan was relying on were the sword puppets. He never thought that he still had such a fierce move!


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan was still only at the Crystal Formation Realm. How did he do it?


    But there was already no more time for him to think. If he pondered anymore, he was going to die!


    After breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm, Ye Yuan''s perception and affinity toward heaven and earth essence energy went up by a huge step. Executing Thousand Flowing Petals again was no longer as demanding as it was before at the Spirit Condensation Realm. The speed of execution naturally also sped up considerably.


    The Lan clan brothers were all the same type, exceptional speed and formidable fist strength.


    Only to see Lan Feng tap his feet and his figure moved explosively, shooting towards Ye Yuan.


    A cluster of flower petals blocked in front of Lan Feng like it floated along with the wind.


    Lan Feng clenched his jaws. "Break for me!"


    A fist smashed out. Essence energy surged, and an exploding noise actually sounded!


    The fist without any ostentatiousness was a fist with a crushing force that overwhelmed all!


    Lan Feng belonged to those type who were extremely powerful in close-combat. He did not mobilize large amounts of heaven and earth essence energy to face his opponents like Ye Yuan, but would condense heaven and earth essence energy onto his own fist to wield it as he pleased!


    This kind of brandishing method could muster heaven and earth essence energy the fastest and augment the might of his fist art to the maximum degree!


    In mid-air, Lan Feng''s fist collided with that cluster of flower petals!


    There was no intense impact sound.


    That cluster of flower petals slowly melted, finally vanishing. But Lan Feng''s fist force was already totally crumbled by Ye Yuan!


    Lan Feng was so greatly frightened that he turned pale. "How is that possible? You''re only at the Crystal Formation Realm! How can you be so proficient in the usage of heaven and earth essence energy?!"


    The reason why Lan Feng was astonished was because that clump of flower petals was not Ye Yuan''s full strength, but it was only a small tuft of the flower petals that Ye Yuan condensed!


    And this small cluster of flower petals was just enough to neutralize the fist force that Lan Feng invoked!


    Just how accurately did he grasp it?!


    It was as if Ye Yuan saw through it with one glance how much heaven and earth essence energy this fist of Lan Feng had amassed!


    Something that even he, this Sea Transformation Realm, could not do, but a First Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist could accomplish. How could Lan Feng not be astounded?


    For close-combat type martial artists like Lan Feng, the most important thing was momentum.


    And presently, he was completely unable to gather his own momentum. Ye Yuan would not give him the opportunity to accumulate any momentum!


    Ye Yuan did not pay attention to Lan Feng''s astonishment. All of his energy were placed on manipulating the Thousand Flowing Petals.


    Although he had already broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm, maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy was something that only martial artists at the Sea Transformation Realm and above could accomplish.


    Accurately speaking, only Soul Sea Realm martial artists could control heaven and earth essence energy as they wished!


    Sea Transformation Realms merely understood some superficial knowledge.


    Hence, manipulating Thousand Flowing Petals was still something tremendously difficult for Ye Yuan.


    It was just that compared to while being at the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was way easier now.


    Presently, a circumference of a hundred feet was already flooded with countless flower petals. Ye Yuan naturally would not give Lan Feng any chance at all!


    He moved another small cluster of flower petals which churned towards Lan Feng. Lan Feng''s expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Humph! So what if you can mobilize heaven and earth essence energy? How can I lose to a puny little Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? Torrential Pear Blossom Fist! Break for me!"


    All of a sudden, Lan Feng''s aura skyrocketed. A colossal aura swept away those flower petals.


    This was the true strength of a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!


    Only to see Lan Feng''s fist shadows cascade forth, negating Ye Yuan''s attack one after another.


    It was seemingly as if no matter how many flower petal attacks Ye Yuan mustered, they were unable to breach Lan Feng''s defense!


    Yes. After Lan Feng''s aura skyrocketed, he did not attack but defended passively!


    Because his surroundings were already jam-packed with flower petals. Even if he unleashed the full strength of Sea Transformation Realm, he would have no way of getting through these flower petals either!


    As a close-combat martial artist, he already lost the only chance to approach Ye Yuan!


    With his speed, if he struck first to gain the initiative, Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals would not have succeeded in launching so smoothly.


    But sadly, Lan Feng was cautious in taking action and did not attack first. By the time he felt that something was not right, there was already no chance left!


    Now, he could only take a beating passively!


    Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals was not some ordinary martial technique, but it was a supreme true intent''s sword move!


    When Ye Yuan was at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he could already use this move to injure the Sea Transformation Realm Yao Qian. One could imagine just how powerful the attack of this sword move was!


    Now that Ye Yuan already advanced an entire major realm, the might when displayed again could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.


    Even the formidable Lan Feng could only avoid contact when facing the Thousand Flowing Petals!


    Those withering flower petals looked like they were harmless to humans and animals, but in truth, killing intent was concealed!


    What Lan Feng could rely on presently was his thick essence energy!


    As long as he could persist until Ye Yuan''s essence energy ran out, he would have the chance to kill Ye Yuan.


    Lan Feng''s Torrential Pear Blossom Fist danced flawlessly. However . . . there was not a wall without a crack in this world and also no absolute defense.


    No matter how fast his fists were, it was also not possible to defend everywhere!


    One had to know that the Thousand Flowing Petals was not a straightforward attack, but flower petals that could flutter.


    All-pervasive!

 344 Infiltrating

    Regardless of how compact Lan Feng''s fist art was, how could it possibly block the limitless flying flowers?


    While Lan Feng did not detect it, a bunch of petals already flew into his defensive circle by following a path along his lower body.


    "Thousand Flowing Petals, explode!"


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry. Only to hear puffing sounds occurring everywhere. Countless tiny explosion sounds took place inside Lan Feng''s defensive radius.


    Each flower petal''s explosion was certainly not very strong. But the explosions from thousands and tens of thousands of flower petals, that was not something fun.


    Lan Feng''s body was blasted away until it quivered non-stop like he was dancing drunkenly.


    The protective essence energy of a Sea Transformation Realm was exceedingly powerful, especially for a close-combat martial artist like Lan Feng.


    But no matter how powerful it was, it could not contend with this petal rain that filled the entire sky.


    Ye Yuan manipulated more and more flower petals to fly toward Lan Feng. By the end of it, he was already submerged by the petals.


    Countless flower petals exploded. Lan Feng''s body trembled even more violently.


    Finally, that powerful protective essence energy was breached by these innumerable miniature explosions! Lan Feng''s main body started to receive the explosions!


    "Puwarkk!"


    Lan Feng violently vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and kneeled feebly onto the ground!


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan moved!


    Ye Yuan did not wait for Lan Feng to hit to the ground. With a flash, he arrived before him.


    "God Stunning Spike!"


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul force erupted abruptly, attacking Lan Feng''s sea of consciousness!


    Lan Feng evidently did not imagine that Ye Yuan would suddenly perform a sneak attack, using divine soul mystic arts to attack him.


    While completely caught off-guard and still at a loss as to what was happening, Lan Feng only felt his mind go blank, and the whites of his eyes could be seen. Then, he was out cold!


    But Ye Yuan''s means had not ended yet!


    He formed seals with both hands swiftly. His soul force was released once more, plunging into Lan Feng''s sea of consciousness!


    "Slave seal, form!"


    Currently, Lan Feng''s divine soul was viciously attacked by Ye Yuan''s God Stunning Spike and already sustained substantial injuries. It was also in a completely unprepared state.


    Making use of this time lag, Ye Yuan forcefully planted a slave seal in Lan Feng''s divine soul!


    Different from Yuan Fei''s soul contract, after having the slave seal planted, Lan Feng would lose his own consciousness. All actions must be taken from Ye Yuan.


    Moreover, due to Ye Yuan forcefully planting the slave seal, it would also cause irreversible damage to Lan Feng''s divine soul. Lan Feng''s cultivation in this life would also halt here.


    Seeing the slave seal form successfully, Ye Yuan also felt like collapsing.


    The series of attacks earlier were all completed in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Regardless whether to his essence energy or divine soul, it was all an enormous burden.


    A Crystal Formation Realm martial artist planted a slave seal on a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. This was something that others did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan did it!


    Sea Transformation Realm was not a major realm. Although the divine soul strength of Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was enhanced to a certain degree compared to Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, it was not that kind of major realm leap.


    Especially for a pure martial artist like Lan Feng. In terms of divine soul realm grinding, it barely reached the standards of middle to late-stage Alchemy Grandmaster.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, his divine soul realm had already leaped directly to the perfection of early-stage Alchemy Grandmaster; roughly around Lan Feng''s divine soul realm.


    It was precisely so that Ye Yuan dared to perform such a risky move; planting a slave seal in Lan Feng!


    Although Ye Yuan succeeded, the entire process was something incredibly perilous.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul realm was not as high as Lan Feng''s when all was said and done. If Lan Feng had any bit of precaution, not only would he fail to succeed, it would cause his divine soul to suffer a backlash instead.


    Therefore, before Ye Yuan made his move, he already took into consideration each and every step.


    Not that Ye Yuan liked the thrill, but because Ye Yuan wanted to understand Mei Zhen and the rest''s whereabouts through Lan Feng.


    Ye Yuan knew that no matter how he asked, Lan Feng would not tell him as well.


    Even if he told him, Ye Yuan would not dare believe it either.


    So the best way was to control Lan Feng!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan still had even longer-term considerations. If Mei Zhen and the rest died, everything was obviously too late. But if they did not die, he still had areas to use Lan Feng in.


    Ye Yuan did not waste too much time. Lan Feng already informed experts to come through secret methods previously. The more he delayed, the more dangerous it got.


    "Open up your divine soul! I want to search your memories!" Ye Yuan instructed.


    Lan Feng''s eyes recovered some light, but he disregarded the injuries on his body and struggled to his feet to give a bow towards Ye Yuan. "Yes, Master!"


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense entered Lan Feng''s sea of consciousness and read his memories.


    Seeing that Mei Zhen and the rest were fine, he could not help heaving a long sigh in relief.


    Speaking of which, he had to thank Lin Chao. If not for him interjecting, Mei Zhen and the rest would probably already be dead now.


    Ye Yuan fished out an Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill and threw it to Lin Chao. "Quickly eat it. But there isn''t time for you to refine the medicinal strength already. We leave now!"


    "Many thanks for master bestowing the pill!" Lan Feng said deferentially.


    . . . . . .


    Eternal Splendor Palace''s underground, the location of the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, also the place where the passageway between the Endless World and Fierce Gale World lied.


    Lan Feng who was covered in injuries walked in, detaining Ye Yuan whose essence energy was sealed.


    The Fierce Gale World already deployed a large number of troops underground. But they were all Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    It was just two to three days since the passageway was opened up. Large numbers of experts were still currently en route rushing over.


    "Lord Lan Feng!" When the guard saw Lan Feng, he bowed and said respectfully.


    Lan Feng nodded and said, "The person that Big Brother Lan Bao made me capture is already caught. This prisoner is highly important. I have to escort him personally back to the tribe!"


    "Yes! This way please, Lord Lan Feng!" The guard did not dare to obstruct and directly let him through.


    Lan Feng''s status was the highest in this place. They naturally did not dare to say anything else.


    Furthermore, the matter of Lan Feng staying behind to capture someone was known by all these guards.


    Lan Bao and the rest already returned to the Fierce Gale World to arrange for the matters concerning the invasion of the Endless World. After all, compared to Ye Yuan alone, the war of two worlds was the major event!


    But Lan Bao should have already received Lan Feng''s summons at this time and was currently hastening over.


    Ye Yuan glared at Lan Feng fiercely but refused to enter the passageway.


    "What are you looking at?! Move quickly!" Lan Feng shoved.


    "Just kill me if you have the capabilities!" Ye Yuan said wrathfully.


    "Hehe, you still have great use. How can I let you die so easily? Moreover, in order to catch you, I suffered heavy injuries. We have to settle this score properly later!" Lan Feng said with a cold sneer.


    The pair carried out a conversation, putting up enough of a show.


    Finally, being shoved by Lan Feng, Ye Yuan entered the passageway. Lan Feng also followed in after.


    "No way, right? That young man was only at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm. He actually beat Lord Lan Feng to that extent?! This combat strength is also too terrifying, yeah?" after the two people left, a guard exclaimed in surprise.


    "What do you know?! I heard previously that the Endless World martial artist that failed to be captured was only at the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. It''s definitely this punk! Just a few days of not seeing him, he actually broke through directly to the Crystal Formation Realm! If not because this punk is abnormal, why would Lord Lan Feng have to capture him alive?" the other person said.


    "Really too scary! Our Fierce Gale World martial artists have always been renowned for the might of our combat strength. But compared to this young man, the disparity isn''t an ordinary kind of big!" The guard then sighed with admiration.

 345 Back Thrust!

    Once he entered the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan felt the storm winds howl towards him like blades, slicing until his face hurt.


    Lan Feng noticed Ye Yuan''s discomfort and enquired, "Is Master not used to this gale?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and released his aura slightly. Those storm winds actually swept past his side automatically like he was filtered out.


    The might of this gale was roughly the same as the Nine Heavens Road. With Ye Yuan''s understanding of the concept of wind, these storm winds naturally could not hurt him.


    Lan Feng''s expression flickered. "To think that Master''s attainments in the concept of wind are so high. Our Fierce Gale World''s natives come into contact with this gale ever since birth. But scarcely anyone can reach Master''s boundary!"


    "This hurricane is not strong. I can still handle it. If my conjectures are right, the Fierce Gale World''s tempests should exceed this, right?" Ye Yuan waved his hand and said.


    Lan Feng nodded and said, "That''s right. The Fierce Gale World''s storms are the weakest in the Central Capital. The intensity of the gales radiates outwards with the Central Capital as the center. Places that are closer to the Central Capital have weaker storms, while places further from the Central Capital have more powerful hurricanes."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So, that''s the case. Then how strong is the place with the strongest gales?"


    Lan Feng said, "The Fierce Gale World is divided into nine regions according to the strength of the storms. Level One is the weakest, and Level Nine the strongest. The gales in the Level Nine region is exceptionally terrifying. Even Lord Wind Emperor also don''t dare to set foot in that region."


    When he mentioned this Level Nine region, Lan Feng''s face carried thick apprehension. Evidently, it was an extremely terrifying place.


    Ye Yuan could not help asking interestedly, "With your strength, what is the deepest region you can reach?"


    Lan Feng said, "This old slave''s strength is meager. I can only move about at most in the Level Five region. Any deeper in and I''ll be powerless."


    "Oh? With your Sea Transformation Realm strength, you can actually only reach the Level Five region. Looks like the Fierce Gale World''s storms are indeed very powerful! Then what level is this region we''re currently at now?"


    "The vast majority of the people all live in the Level Three region. Any further out and ordinary people will not be able to penetrate within. Only martial artists with formidable strength can do it. Hence, the struggle for land inside the Level Three region is very intense. Tribes will frequently slaughter each other because of land. The place we''re at right now is the location between the borders of the Level Three and Level Four regions."


    Ye Yuan asked puzzledly, "Just the members of your tribe that I''ve seen were four Sea Transformation Realm experts already. You''re actually only able to stay in such a remote area?"


    "Replying master, our Lan Family is not an ordinary tribe but a branch of the Tempest Guards under the Wind Emperor''s command. Four thousand years ago, the old Wind Emperor brought the Tempest Guards and planned on personally storming the Endless World. But the Grand Yan True Sect sealed the passageway between the two worlds using the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array. Hence, the old Wind Emperor left us Lan Family Clan behind here to guard the land of the seal."


    Ye Yuan came to a realization. "No wonder you guys arrived so quickly. It was actually this reason! Alright, this matter brooks no delay. Let''s hurry to your tribe. If we waited until Lan Bao discovers a problem, it would make it a lot more troublesome for nothing."


    "Yes, Master."


    . . . . . .


    Around an hour later, Lan Bao brought Lan Hu back to the passageway area.


    The two of them strolled leisurely around the second level but did not see a shadow. An ominous premonition involuntarily welled up in their hearts.


    "Did you all see Lan Feng?" Lan Bao came back and asked the guards.


    That guard thought that Lan Bao came back for some other matter. He only knew that it was for Lan Feng when he heard it at this time. He hurriedly said, "Replying Your Excellency, Lord Lan Feng already returned to the Fierce Gale World around an hour ago."


    Lan Bao was secretly alarmed and asked, "Mm? Why did he go back?"


    That guard was also baffled. Logically speaking, Lord Lan Feng and Lord Lan Bao should have met. Could it be they took different paths?


    The guard also felt that something was not quite right. Hence, he recounted the event of Lan Feng passing through the entrance from the very beginning to the end exactly as it was.


    Lan Bao''s face involuntarily changed drastically when he heard that. Sending that guard flying far away with a slap, he roared, "You moron! When that brat was at the Spirit Condensation Realm, the four of us couldn''t even take him down combined! Now that he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, how can Lan Feng possibly capture him alive alone?"


    Lan Bao did not deal a lethal blow. That guard spat out blood as he begged for mercy, "Have mercy, Your Excellency! Have mercy, Your Excellency!"


    "Humph! I''ll find you to settle the scores later! Lan Hu, let''s chase after!"


    Finished talking, Lan Bao led the charge into the Fierce Gale World. Lan Hu followed after.


    The group of guards was as silent as cicadas in cold weather. Nobody dared to make a sound.


    They all could not figure things out. Lord Lan Feng clearly detained that Endless World boy. What problem would there be?


    . . . . . .


    Fierce Gale World.


    On the way to the Lan Family Tribe, Lan Bao said in a low voice, "How do you see it, Lan Hu? Do you think that . . . there''s a possibility of Lan Feng turning traitor?"


    Lan Hu shook his head and said, "Lan Feng grew up together with me. I understand his character the best. His loyalty towards the tribe, maybe even we can''t compare! Furthermore . . . he has no reason whatsoever to defect!"


    "But . . . why did he help that brat enter the Fierce Gale World? Is it possible that . . . he really defeated that boy?" The more Lan Bao thought, the more perplexed he got.


    His understanding of Ye Yuan merely stopped at the sword puppets. As for his combat strength, he was utterly ignorant.


    But even if that boy broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, even if Ye Yuan used the sword puppets, it was also impossible to take Lan Feng down in such a short amount of time, right?


    What happened in-between all this?


    Lan Bao and Lan Hu did not even think in the area of slave seal. Because in their viewpoint, this was something that could not possibly occur.


    "Saying anything is pointless. We''ll know what happened after we return to the tribe," Lan Hu said.


    Lan Bao nodded and said unwillingly, "We''ll have to leave it at that!"


    . . . . . .


    The Lan Family Tribe was located at the borders between the Level Three Gale Region and the Level Four Gale Region. The environment was rather harsh.


    Yellow sand pervaded this area. The gale winds were piercingly cold. People who had slightly weaker strength would be slashed by the storm winds immediately.


    Not far away from the tribe, two silhouettes appeared. They were precisely Ye Yuan and Lan Feng.


    "With what you said earlier, I reckon that Lan Bao and the rest still have at most another hour before they are back. You only have an hour''s time to bring them out! Bring this spatial artifact with you. Once you have the opportunity, fit them inside according to the mantra that I recited. I''ll receive you outside!" Ye Yuan instructed Lan Feng.


    "Yes, Master!" Lan Feng said.


    Lan Feng already became Ye Yuan''s slave. All of his actions were done according to Ye Yuan''s will.


    Passing the spatial artifact to him naturally had nothing to be concerned of.


    Lan Feng''s current identity was not being suspected yet. He just had to come up with a reason to return to the tribe, and then bring Mei Zhen and the rest out, and that would do.


    Making use of this time difference, Ye Yuan could deal a back thrust and charge back to the realm passageway again!


    Although a large group of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists was stationed over there, with his strength plus Lan Feng and throw in his fellow apprentices, breaking through would be a cinch.


    This was Ye Yuan''s plan!


    And now, he had to see if Lan Feng could successfully bring out the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.


    Roughly the lesser part of an hour later, Lan Feng''s figure appeared in Ye Yuan''s sight . . .

 346 Lan Yu

    "You didn''t find them?"


    Seeing Lan Feng''s expression, Ye Yuan immediately felt a foreboding feeling.


    "This . . . Master had better ask him."


    As he spoke, a figure appeared in front of Ye Yuan. Who could it be but Pang Wannian?


    It was just that his body was currently covered in wounds. His face was already swollen. Clearly, these few days had not been very pleasant.


    The second Pang Wannian saw Ye Yuan, he felt a multitude of feelings surge up and tears gushed out.


    But there was no longer much time for them to catch up. Ye Yuan said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Pang, keep things short. Lan Bao might have already returned to the Lan Family Tribe. We don''t have much time! Where did Elder Mei and the rest of the apprentices go?"


    Pang Wannian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Elder Mei and the rest were escorted to the Central Capital. The Lan Family tribe members said that they were to be sold over there as slaves! Because I''m missing an arm, they felt that it''s unsightly. That''s why they left me in the tribe. Oh yeah, it''s the Lan Family Tribe''s patriarch who personally escorted them there!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted. This surprise thoroughly disrupted his plan.


    "Why were the Lan Family Tribe''s actions so quick? They shouldn''t know that I''m coming to save them, right?" Ye Yuan said bewilderedly.


    "Nothing to do with Master. It''s Lord Patriarch''s decision! The realm passageway is already linked together. He must report to Lord Wind Emperor at the first moment. Hence, he brought a portion of the tribe''s experts and master''s fellow apprentices and set off that very night to hasten to the Central Capital," Lan Feng explained.


    "Patriarch?"


    "Yes! The patriarch is the strongest expert in the Lan Family Tribe. The one and only Soul Sea Realm powerhouse! Our Lan Family''s mission is to guard the passageway between two worlds. Therefore, he dared not dawdle and had to report to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, as soon as possible about this matter."


    Ye Yuan felt a wave of helplessness. Truly, plans could not catch up changes.


    He thought that he could catch the Lan Family Tribe completely unawares and rescue his fellow apprentices away. Who knew that something like this would actually happen?


    This way, his plan to catch them off-guard completely fell through.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Can''t stay here too long then. Since Elder Mei and the rest of the disciples have already been brought to the Central Capital, we still need to talk about this at length."


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when a bugle call sounded from Lan Family Tribe a little way off!


    "Not good! Lan Bao''s movements are too fast! Looks like he already discovered that something''s wrong with Lan Feng and is chasing over right now! Let''s leave quickly!" Ye Yuan said.


    Lan Bao''s strength was a great deal stronger than Lan Feng''s. Even though Ye Yuan had broken through now, he still was not Lan Bao''s match.


    Direct confrontation right now was not the move of a wise man.


    Not far away, sand clouds billowed. The Lan Family Tribe was actually marching straight for Ye Yuan!


    Wang Pannian was also very anxious when he saw the situation and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, what should we do now? Flee in the direction of the Central Capital?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No. We''ll flee towards the Level Four Gale Region! Lan Feng, you and Senior Apprentice Brother Pan enter the spatial artifact first!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan transferred the pair into the spatial artifact. Tiptoeing, Spirit Void Shattering Space was executed, and he transformed into a streak of blue smoke that dashed towards the outer gale regions.


    . . . . . .


    15 minutes later, Lan Bao brought Lan Hu along with the rest and appeared at the place where Ye Yuan was at previously.


    Lan Bao spat viciously and said gloomily, "Truly didn''t think that Lan Feng really turned traitor! Why?!"


    Lan Hu remained silent. But another person beside Lan Bao said, "Lan Bao, there''s something I don''t know if I should say."


    That person was called Lan Yu; he was also a Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert like Lan Bao.


    The patriarch brought along the experts in the tribe and left the Lan Family Tribe. He and Lan Bao became the ones with the greatest strength in the tribe.


    "En? Lan Yu, what''s there not to say between us brothers?"


    Lan Yu nodded and said, "When I saw Lan Feng earlier, I felt that something was amiss. But it was not obvious, so I didn''t pay much attention either. Looking at it now, he seems to have really . . ."


    Lan Bao''s face darkened slightly. "Really what?"


    "He seems to be . . . controlled by somebody! Thinking about it now, his eyes back then were rather slack; without that energy before. Because he said that he was previously injured by that Endless World brat, I didn''t pay much attention too," Lan Yu said.


    "Are you saying that he had a slave seal planted by someone?!" Lan Bao was shocked and enraged.


    Lan Yu nodded his head and said, "Only that can explain why he would do such an abnormal action!"


    "Impossible! That brat just broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm. How can he possibly plant a slave seal on Lan Feng?" Lan Bao bellowed at Lan Yu.


    But the more he roared, the guilt-ridden he felt.


    Lan Bao, Lan Hu, Lan Feng, and Lan Yun were cousins who grew up together since young. Their relationship was very good.


    Now, hearing that Lan Feng actually had a slave seal planted by someone, how could he not be furious?


    Lan Yu did not speak. He knew that Lan Bao actually already believed it in his heart.


    Honestly speaking, he also did not think in this area when he saw Lan Feng.


    Although he heard Lan Bao say before that Ye Yuan was terribly cunning, in Lan Yu''s impression, Ye Yuan was merely just a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist after all. How could he possibly plant a slave seal on a martial artist two major realms higher than him?


    That was too preposterous!


    But right now, this was the only explanation that worked!


    Bang!


    Lan Bao half-kneeled on the ground and smashed a fist onto the ground. Yellow sand billowed up!


    "Ye Yuan! If I catch you, I''ll definitely peel off your skin and pull out your tendons!" Lan Bao gnashed his teeth hatefully and said.


    Lan Yu patted Lan Bao''s shoulder and said with a sigh, "Alright, now''s not the time to be saying this! Lan Feng''s aura vanished after he reached here. In my opinion, they are very likely to be carrying a spatial artifact on them. I asked the guards. When Lan Feng came out, he was alone. That one-armed slave is definitely hiding inside a spatial artifact!"


    Evidently, this Lan Yu was able and shrewd. He was certainly an existence like an intelligent military advisor in the Lan Family Tribe. Otherwise, the patriarch could not possibly have put his heart at ease by leaving the tribe to him too.


    In comparison, while Lan Bao''s combat strength was high, he was clearly slightly inferior in the wits aspect.


    Being spoken to like that by Lan Yu, Lan Bao was shocked awake abruptly. He hurriedly said, "Right! The matter on hand right now is to capture that brat! I will definitely hack him into tiny pieces! He should already know that that group of apprentices of his was already brought to the Central Capital. I''ll bring men to chase after in that direction right away!"


    As he spoke, Lan Bao was about to bring men and head in the direction of the Central Capital.


    "Hold your horses!" Lan Feng said.


    "En? What?" Lan Bao asked questioningly.


    Lan Yu said, "Although I''ve never met that Ye Yuan, but from what you said, this boy is bound to be crafty and resourceful! What we can think of, he can surely think of it too! If we head in the direction of the Central Capital, it might just be exactly what he wants!"


    "You mean . . . he''s headed for the Level Four Gale Region?" Lan Bao said puzzledly.


    Lan Yu nodded his head and said, "I''m 80% sure! At this time, smart men won''t go towards the direction of the Central Capital! That''s no different from seeking their own doom! How about this, I''ll go back and bring a Fierce Wind Vulture over. But, only you alone can pursue him."

 347 Bird Feather

    In the sky-filled yellow sand, a person and a vulture tore through the air as they traveled. Their speed was exceedingly fast.


    Fierce Wind Vultures were indigenous demonic beasts born in the Fierce Gale World. Not only could they fly in the gale winds, but they were also tracking experts.


    Fierce Wind Vultures were very rare. There were only two Fierce Wind Vultures in the Lan Family Tribe as well; this was one of them.


    It circled twice around the place that Ye Yuan stopped at previously, then it flew straight for the Level Four Gale Region. It was in perfect harmony with Lan Feng''s guess without prior consultation.


    Lan Bao sat on the back of the Fierce Wind Vulture, his two eyes looking around everywhere like a hawk wanting to find Ye Yuan''s figure.


    He already chased Ye Yuan for three days and night but did not find any trails at all.


    But he knew that with the Fierce Wind Vulture here, Ye Yuan could not escape!


    In these three days and nights, the Fierce Wind Vulture was brought around in circles several times. It nearly found him quite a few times but missed it by a narrow chance.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan already realized that somebody was tracking him!


    But it was precisely so that Lan Bao''s killing intent grew even stronger!


    Because Ye Yuan''s fleeing was highly targeted. They were all ways to easily lead the Fierce Wind Vulture astray.


    Ye Yuan could not have possibly known these methods in advance. He could only have learned them from Lan Feng!


    This fellow really treated Lan Feng as a slave to order about!


    "Punk, just you wait! As long as I find you, I''ll make you unable to wish for neither to live nor to die! I want to see just how long your essence energy can last. Or perhaps, you can try fleeing into the Level Five region!" Lan Bao said with a cold sneer.


    Right at this moment, Lan Bao''s face changed!


    Innumerable flower petals floated up into the skies from god knew when and encircled Lan Bao layer by layer!


    These flower petals actually did not scatter in the slightest within the Level Four gale wind and swept towards Lan Bao!


    Seeing this scene, Lan Bao was not startled but became pleased instead. "Heh heh, finally can''t resist making a move? Looks like you''ve already reached your limits, eh? If you continue running, you most likely won''t even have the strength to attack, right? However . . ."


    Lan Bao''s gaze grew intently as he said in a grave voice, "A newly broken through Crystal Formation Realm boy is actually able to mobilize heaven and earth essence energy. It truly makes me rather surprised! Lan Feng . . . should have fallen to this, right?"


    One had to say that Lan Bao''s combat talent was very strong.


    Just from this move, Thousand Flowing Petals, he could determine the reason that Lan Feng lost.


    "Trying to use this move to deal with me? Hehe, you''re still a little too inexperienced!"


    Finished talking, Lan Bao''s aura suddenly erupted. The powerful aura field actually swept away the flower petals that filled the skies!


    In a twinkle of an eye, Lan Bao already completed the mustering of heaven & earth essence energy!


    Only to see him tiptoed lightly, and his entire body soared high into the air, flying off the Fierce Wind Vulture.


    "Flood Dragon Goes to Sea!"


    Lan Bao roared fiercely. Smashing a fist out, a series of wind tearing sounds sounded, striking the sky-filled flower petals until they were pulverized!


    One punch from Lan Bao actually blasted apart the Thousand Flowing Petals that Ye Yuan condensed!


    The might of one fist was overwhelmingly powerful!


    "Still going to be a coward, Ye Yuan? Do you think that you can escape my Five-Finger Mountain?" Lan Bao gave a loud cry and exerted pressure on Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    Another punch smashed out. The acres of flower petals were sent scattering.


    "Hahaha! To be able to maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at the Crystal Formation Realm, I admit that you''re a one of a kind genius that I''ve ever seen! But . . . you must die today!" Lanbao roared loudly again as he punched out a first.


    Rumble!


    Another punch!


    "Lan Feng is my brother that grew up together with me since young! You actually dare to plant a slave seal on him?! I''ll make you wish you were dead!"


    Each time he punched out, Lan Bao would say a sentence.


    It was to incite Ye Yuan out and also in order to vent out the killing intent in his heart.


    But right then, Lan Bao''s expression changed drastically!


    The limitless flower petals actually abandoned him and engulfed towards that Fierce Wind Vulture!


    Turned out that Ye Yuan''s goal was not Lan Bao at all but the Fierce Wind Vulture!


    "Lad, you dare?!" Lan Bao was anxious and furious as he howled.


    Lan Bao''s three punches earlier were extremely powerful. The Fierce Wind Vulture was simply unable to withstand his attacks. That was why he flew off the Fierce Wind Vulture. But he did not expect to fall for Ye Yuan''s ploy to lure the tiger away!


    Now, no matter how swift his movements were, he would not be able to catch up either!


    The limitless flower petals already wrapped around the Fierce Wind Vulture. Even if his fist was stronger, how could it possibly blast away all the flower petals?


    But why would Ye Yuan bother with Lan Bao''s feelings?


    His goal was that Fierce Wind Vulture from the very beginning!


    The Fierce Wind Vulture was only a Tier 3 demonic beast. How could it be a match for the Thousand Flowing Petals?!


    "Thousand Flowing Petals, decapitate!" Ye Yuan shot out abruptly from the yellow sand and howled fiercely.


    The boundless flower petals were like myriad tiny blades, slicing towards that Fierce Wind Vulture!


    "Screech!!"


    The Fierce Wind Vulture cried out lightly and flapped its wings desperately, trying to chase away these flower petals.


    But sadly, these were not ordinary flower petals, but ones formed from heaven and earth essence energy!


    Each petal was extremely mesmerizing but also dangerous!


    In the fierce gales, only to hear slicing sounds coming over . . .


    When the flower petals scattered, only feathers that filled the sky and the Fierce Wind Vulture covered in bloodstains were left.


    The gale winds blew, and the bird feathers floated away with the wind, looking very spectacular.


    Immediately after, a splat was heard. The Fierce Wind Vulture''s corpse hit the ground.


    When Lan Bao saw this scene, his face had long become as black as the bottom of a pan!


    Each Fierce Wind Vulture was unbelievably precious. Ye Yuan actually killed it off just like killing a chicken!


    Lan Bao stood in the air, looking like an enraged demon god.


    "Do you think that you can escape by killing the Fierce Wind Vulture?" Lan Bao emphasized each word as he said to Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan cracked a smile and said, "Feel free to chase after and see!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan kept his longsword and turned around to flee!


    Spirit Void Shattering Space''s third layer was displayed in full force, vanishing instantly without a trace.


    When Lan Bao saw Ye Yuan''s speed, he was secretly startled. He immediately did not dare to be careless and pursue him at top speed.


    "This punk, is it possible that he relied on a pair of legs and circled around with me for three days and night?" Lan Bao thought of this possibility and was inwardly shocked.


    Although the Fierce Wind Vulture was a Tier 3 demonic beasts, its flying speed in the gale winds was not slower than Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. It was even faster than First Level and Second Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artists!


    But such a speed actually could not catch up to Ye Yuan''s pair of legs?


    Just how fast was this punk''s speed?


    Lan Bao''s speed was naturally needless to say. The Third Level Sea Transformation Realm Mei Zhen and Wu Zhao could not follow his speed. It could be seen how fast he was!


    Lan Bao saw that Ye Yuan''s speed was astonishing and also did not dare to hold back at this time. He pursued Ye Yuan with his own maximum speed.


    The Fierce Wind Vulture was already dead. If Lan Bao lost Ye Yuan, he probably could not find him again.


    While Ye Yuan''s present speed was extremely astounding, the two people''s distance was still shrinking continuously.


    Gradually, Lan Bao could already see Ye Yuan''s back view. A hint of smirk involuntarily flashed past the corner of his mouth!


    "Run then! Keep running! I''ll see where you can run to!" Lan Bao said with a hideous sneer.


    However, his smile instantly froze on his face!


    Not knowing how, he saw Ye Yuan pull apart the distance from him once more with a swoosh!

 348 Running Frantically!

    Although Lan Bao was a close-combat martial artist, his fist wind could attack from a distance.


    As long as Ye Yuan entered his attack range, Lan Bao did not even need to catch up to him to be able to strike him down.


    But just as Ye Yuan barely entered his attack range, he actually increased his speed!


    This made Lan Bao so dejected that he could choke on it!


    "This boy, just how many cards has he not played?! How is it possible for a First Level Crystal Formation Realm to have such swift speed?!" Lan Bao felt that it was beyond understanding.


    But this was a fact. He also had no choice even if he did not understand.


    Toward a character who was formerly an Alchemy Emperor, Lan Bao not comprehending the situation was not unexpected.


    Entering the mystic realm this time, Ye Yuan made ample preparations!


    Before setting off, he spent a full 500 thousand points and used all of it to exchange for Tier 3 medicinal herbs to refine medicinal pills!


    The three days and nights of pursuing previously, Ye Yuan was igniting his essence energy the entire time to execute Spirit Void Shattering Space.


    The most adequate preparation that he made this trip was essence energy recovering medicinal pills. Just like that, he swallowed medicinal pills and ran until now.


    Relying on Fierce Wind Vulture knowledge gleaned from Lan Feng, he forcefully spun around in circles with Lan Bao for three days and nights!


    But this was already the limit. The Fierce Wind Vulture''s speed was too fast. Even if Ye Yuan''s movement speed was heaven-defying, being able to sustain until now was already very extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan knew that he could not escape, so he laid in ambush and plotted to finish off the Fierce Wind Vulture!


    But after eliminating the Fierce Wind Vulture, Ye Yuan would have to directly confront Lan Bao.


    With his present strength, he was simply not Lan Bao''s match.


    That fight earlier also clearly showed many problems. The Thousand Flowing Petals that could overpower and finish off Lan Feng by surprise was ineffective against Lan Bao.


    So he only had one way: run!


    Comparing movement techniques, Ye Yuan was even slightly inferior to the Fierce Wind Vulture, let alone Lan Bao.


    Regardless of whether it was essence energy or comprehension towards the Concept of Wind, Ye Yuan could not match Lan Bao.


    But . . . Ye Yuan had medicinal pills!


    Tier 3 medicinal pill, Haste Pill!


    This Haste Pill was very heaven-defying among Tier 3 medicinal pills. It could double a martial artist''s speed by stimulating the meridians and acupoints in the martial artist''s body!


    Only Ye Yuan could refine out such a perverse medicinal effect too. Swapping an Alchemy Grandmaster in, he could probably only refine high-grade Haste Pills at the very most, which only had a 50% speed increase.


    Of course, a 50% speed increase was already very heaven-defying in the general sense.


    Except that the Haste Pills that Ye Yuan refined were all superior-grade medicinal pills!


    Essence Energy Ignition under the Transmission Concept, plus Spirit Void Shattering Space movement technique, plus superior-grade Haste Pills, made Ye Yuan''s speed directly multiply several times over compared to normal!


    He opened up the distance between Lan Bao all at once!


    Lan Bao currently had an impulse to vomit blood. He watched as Ye Yuan was about to enter his attack range, but was shaken off by him right away!


    And Lan Bao''s movement technique was already raised to the fastest. Looking on, the distance between him and Ye Yuan was actually widening evermore!


    A Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm going all out actually could not catch up to a First Level Crystal Formation Realm. No matter how one looked at this scene, it was somewhat comical.


    "This brat definitely cast some kind of mystic art. He absolutely can''t sustain it for long! I don''t believe that you can keep on maintaining this speed!" Lan Bao pondered to himself.


    However, the result disappointed Lan Bao greatly. Ye Yuan''s pair of legs ran like they never knew fatigue.


    Half a day passed, not only did Lan Bao fail to catch up to Ye Yuan, he opened up a huge distance instead!


    Lan Bao could not help becoming very anxious. If he lost his perception of Ye Yuan, under this situation without the Fierce Wind Vulture, he simply could not track Ye Yuan.


    "Damn it! What kind of evil art did this brat use?! He''s actually able to maintain this kind of speed for such a long time! No way, I''ll lose him if it continues like this! Go all out! I must kill this boy!"


    Lan Bao made his resolution. Biting his own tongue, he swallowed a drop of vital blood essence into his abdomen!


    "This damn brat! To actually cause me to burn my vital blood essence! When I catch you, I''ll definitely make you regret ever being born into this world!" Lan Bao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Martial artists'' vital blood essence was extremely precious. Once it was lost, it would be exceedingly difficult to replenish.


    And once vital blood essence loss exceeded a certain amount, the martial artist even faced the risk of cultivation realm falling!


    With the vital blood essence reaching his abdomen, Lan Bao''s speed immediately soared!


    Under a wild chase, he actually reduced the distance between him and Ye Yuan little by little!


    Moreover, Lan Bao discovered to his delight that Ye Yuan''s speed was gradually becoming slower! With these changes, catching up to Ye Yuan seemed to be something inevitable!


    "Brat, this time, you finally can''t endure any more, right?! Haha! Die!"


    Lan Bao secretly amassed strength and prepared to give Ye Yuan a fatal blow!


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s speed skyrocketed once again and actually recovered to the speed at the very start!


    The blood essence that Lan Bao immolated was in the midst of being slowly expended. His speed was also naturally becoming increasingly slower. The two people''s speed, one in front, the other at the back, was practically about the same!


    But this time, Lan Bao finally saw clearly. Ye Yuan swallowed two medicinal pills consecutively just now!


    This unwittingly made him have an impulse of cursing his mother. What the hell medicinal pill did this brat eat?! To actually have such a perverse effect?!


    Just like that, Ye Yuan and Lan Bao, one behind the other, ran speedily within the desolate and uninhabited Level Four Gale Region.


    At times, Ye Yuan''s speed was a little faster, throwing Lan Bao behind. Sometimes, Lan Bao''s speed was slightly faster, nearly catching up to Ye Yuan.


    One time, Lan Bao nearly entered the attack range, alarming Ye Yuan until he broke into a cold sweat as well.


    Ever since that time, Ye Yuan no longer dared to wait until the medicinal effect subsided to consume the Haste Pill. As long as his speed fell slightly, he would swallow one right away.


    The pair, racing each other, sprinted frenziedly like this for another three days and three nights!


    The specifics of how far they ran, the two of them already utterly could not recall exactly. But they could feel the gale winds getting stronger and stronger. They were about to enter the Level Five Gale Region soon!


    The Level Five Gale Region was a forbidden area to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    Even a Sea Transformation Realm expert like Lan Bao did not dare to go too deep in as well.


    Once it exceeded the limits of his ability, Lan Bao only had the outcome of being dismembered by the wind blades too!


    "Ye Yuan, ahead is the Level Five Gale Region! I''ll see where you can still run to! You should also know that the Level Five Gale Region is a forbidden area for Crystal Formation Realms! I advise you to allow yourself to be seized obediently without resisting! I''ll make it painless for you!" Lan Bao yelled out.


    "My *ss! Do you think I''m stupid? I''d rather be blown to death by the storms than stop! Just give up on this! If you have the capabilities, then chase after! I''ll see how much blood essence you can burn!" Ye Yuan''s voice came over from a long distance away.


    In truth, by this time, Ye Yuan and Lan Bao were already approaching their limits.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill was anymore heaven-defying, it was also impossible to keep eating endlessly. Moreover, the Haste Pills in his hands were already pretty much depleted!


    This kind of day and night running, Ye Yuan ate no less than 20 Haste Pills. The burden on his body was already at its limits.


    Lan Bao''s situation was not any better. He already burned almost 10% of his blood essence!


    This was already his limit. If he burnt anymore, he would be at risk of his realm falling.


    Furthermore, running frenziedly like this, he already reached his limit too!

 349 Where Did Ye Yuan Go?

    Presently, their speed were greatly reduced significantly compared to before.


    The burden on their bodies was already at the limits. Now, they were battling whose willpower was more tenacious.


    Whoever eased up, the other party would win!


    In comparison, Ye Yuan''s difficulty was a little greater.


    Because adding in the three days and night from before, he already ran non-stop for six days and night!


    Consuming 20 Haste Pills in succession not only made his body reach its limits, but it also greatly reduced the effects of the medicinal pills.


    But no matter what, he could not let out this sigh of relief. Because the price was . . . death.


    "Boy, do you really not want to live anymore? Ahead lies the Level Five Gale Region. With your strength, going in means certain death!" Lan Bao shouted again.


    "Stop yammering. Chase after if you have the capabilities. If you don''t have the abilities, then shut your mouth for this Little Lord! I won''t stop!" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that this Lan Bao was actually so stubborn, to actually chase until now in one breath. He could only grit his teeth and keep him company to the very end too.


    But this time, Lan Bao did not hurl a torrent of abuse. After keeping silent for a moment, he said again, "Kid, I admit that you''re a peerless talent. As long as you''re willing to join our Fierce Gale World, I can let bygones be bygones! Furthermore, I''ll recommend you to Lord Wind Emperor! With your talent, you might be taken in by Lord Wind Emperor as a disciple! At that time, you can enjoy limitless cultivation resources!"


    Ye Yuan also mused for a moment over on his side. He opened his mouth to ask, "Is what you said true?"


    When Lan Bao sensed that there was hope, he could not help rejoicing in his heart. "Of course it''s true! You can mobilize heaven and earth essence energy at the Crystal Formation Realm. In the future, you''ll definitely be a peerless powerhouse! Why do you have to end yourself here? Lord Wind Emperor is a Boundless Realm powerhouse! With his grooming, you might even have a possibility of becoming the next generation Wind Emperor! That is a Boundless Realm powerhouse!"


    In the Lower Realms, Boundless Realm these two words represented showing disdain for the world! It signified elegance and talent! It symbolized loneliness at the pinnacle!


    Nobody could resist the temptation of Boundless Realm!


    Especially Ye Yuan who was currently in a desperate situation. The allure of Boundless Realm could unleash an even greater effect.


    It was just that Lan Bao simply did not know that Boundless Realm was roughly the same as a fart in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    If he disregarded the comprehension of concepts, Ye Yuan would not spend too much time even to cultivate to the Divine King realm.


    Boundless Realm was too easy in his eyes!


    "Then . . . you swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. Only then, will I believe you!" Ye Yuan hesitated slightly.


    Lan Bao was overjoyed when he heard that. But he said indifferently, "That''s not a problem. How about we stop first? Going forward is the Level Five Gale Region already."


    "Alright. I''ll count to three. We stop together!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Fine!" Lan Bao''s glimmered with brilliant light. He did his best to restrain the killing intent in his heart, while he actually revolved all the essence energy in his body on the sly and prepared to deal Ye Yuan a certain kill blow.


    "One . . ."


    "Two . . ."


    Ye Yuan''s voice came over leisurely. Lan Bao already mustered up his fist momentum. He just had to wait for Ye Yuan to stop and he would immediately erupt and kill him!


    "Three!"


    But when he counted to three, Ye Yuan threw another two medicinal pills into his mouth. Not only did he not stop, but he also ran even faster!


    Lan Bao thought that Ye Yuan fell for it and had long charged up his fist might fully.


    Seeing this scene, Lan Bao''s eyes went wide and he hurriedly dissipated the amassed essence energy by force.


    Even so, the powerful backlash still made Lan Bao suffer some internal injuries.


    For this purpose, Lan Bao''s speed was affected too. The pair pulled apart the distance all at once again.


    This made Lan Bao so furious until his teeth made grinding sounds!


    This brat absolutely did it on purpose!


    "You tricked me!" Lan Bao roared angrily.


    "Didn''t you not stop as well? Why isn''t it you who tricked me?"


    "You ate medicinal pills again!"


    "How about you stop first? I''ll stop when you stop!"


    ". . . . . ."


    How could Lan Bao dare to stop?


    This brat was full of tricks who simply could not be trusted!


    But they were about to enter the Level Five Gale Region in a moment. In his present condition, entering the Level Five area was very dangerous.


    If Ye Yuan really paid no heed to his life and entered, then was he entering or not?


    Ye Yuan was currently sprinting frantically when all of a sudden, a gust of fierce wind blew over, choking him till he coughed and nearly overturned him on the ground.


    "Sss . . . this Level Five Gale Region''s storm winds are indeed not on the same level as before!"


    Finally, Ye Yuan stepped into the Level Five Gale Region!


    According to what Lan Feng said, the Level Four Gale Region to the Level Five Gale Region was a watershed!


    The strength of the Level Five gale winds was several times stronger than previously! Even Sea Transformation Realm did not dare to rashly go deep inside too!


    The Level Five storm wind''s wind blades were close to materializing. Martial artists being inside was as if they were placed in a boundless blade formation.


    Furthermore, the Level Five storm winds could even erode martial artists'' protective essence energy. If they stayed too long, they would undoubtedly die without a burial ground!


    With Lan Feng''s strength, he only dared to stay for a day''s time in the Level Five Gale Region too. Any longer and he would not be able to leave.


    Now that Ye Yuan experienced it for himself, it indeed had a feeling of repute was not as good as encounter!


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension of the Concept of Wind was not low. But even so, he also felt like he bit off more than he could chew.


    But, he could no longer turn back. He could only run deeper inside!


    Seeing Ye Yuan plunge headfirst into the Level Five Gale Region, Lan Bao''s expression flickered. Hesitating slightly, he also gritted his teeth and charged in!


    With his present body condition, he could at most stay for a day inside the Level Five Gale Region.


    If he could not kill off Ye Yuan within a day, the outcome would be too dreadful to contemplate!


    Stepping into the Level Five Gale Region, Lan Bao could only cut off all means of retreat!


    But the moment he entered the Level Five Gale Region, Lan Bao was taken aback!


    Ye Yuan disappeared!


    Ye Yuan actually vanished from his perception!


    How was this possible?


    He and Ye Yuan entering the Level Five Gale Region was only the time difference between the front foot and the back foot! How could Ye Yuan possibly shake him off in such a short time?


    All of a sudden, a type of emotion called panic welled up from the bottom of Lan Bao''s heart.


    Pursuing Ye Yuan these few days without rest and even losing nearly 10% of his vital blood essence, it could really be said to be shedding one''s heart blood.


    And now, he actually lost Ye Yuan!


    Lan Bao was like a gambler right now. During these few days and nights, he bet his own fortune bit by bit. Now, he suddenly discovered that he lost it all but did not gain anything.


    This sort of feeling was just like suddenly dropping into hell. That sort of hesitation and powerlessness made him feel terror from the bottom of his heart!


    "Ye Yuan!"


    "YE YUUUAANN!"


    Lan Bao roared in the fierce winds. But what answered him was only the whistling of the fierce gales.


    Lan Bao''s eyes turned red at once. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don''t believe this! You, a First Level Crystal Formation Realm, can go up to the skies in this Level Five Gale Region! Even if I have to dig three feet underground today, I''ll also dig you out! If you have the capabilities, don''t get sliced into pieces by the gale winds!"

 350 Comprehending True Intent Again!

    Lan Bao ran wildly as if he was crazy, wanting to find Ye Yuan''s silhouette.


    But it was as if Ye Yuan disappeared into thin air. No matter how he let out his sense, there was nobody all around.


    "Argh! Ye Yuan! Get out here for me!" Lan Bao howled like a wild beast.


    There was still nobody that answered him. It was as if he was the only person left in the entire world.


    Lan Bao gave up all hope!


    He racked his brains and also could not figure out how the hell Ye Yuan disappeared!


    Ye Yuan had clearly been inside his perception the entire time. Why did he vanish all of a sudden?


    "En?"


    From the corner of his eyes, Lan Bao seemed to have discovered something.


    Walking closer to take a look, he noticed that the ground was spotted with blood!


    "Haha! Turns out that he overestimated his own strength and was blown away by the gale winds! Really gave this Father of yours a fright! But . . . even if you''re dismembered by the gale winds, I also want to see your corpse!"


    The bloodstains on the ground had yet to dry. Clearly, it had just dripped. There were only Lan Bao and Ye Yuan, these two people. Who could the bloodstains be but Ye Yuan''s?


    Seeing this pool of bloodstains, Lan Bao finally heaved a great sigh in relief.


    This situation reversed too quickly, making a Sea Transformation Realm expert like Lan Bao feel very out of sorts.


    He was still waiting in hell earlier. Now, he flew to heaven all at once.


    Looking around, Lan Bao finally found another area of bloodstains and could not help being ecstatic. He started following the direction of the bloodstains and chased over!


    . . . . . .


    Those bloodstains were indeed left by Ye Yuan. His body was covered all over with wounds left by wind blades!


    His arms, legs, chest, back, and even his face had streaks of bloodstains. These were all wounds left by the wind blades.


    Ye Yuan''s clothes were already fully soaked in fresh blood, looking horrifyingly ghastly!


    But Ye Yuan seemed to be completely oblivious to all this; like he could not feel pain.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan was not running on land but was swept up into the air by the gale winds!


    Ye Yuan''s body drifted far along with the fierce winds just like a piece of paper, seemingly as if he already lost control of his body and could only submit to the whims of the wild storms.


    But looking over closely, Ye Yuan''s body seemed to be swaying slightly with a rhythm.


    Although that extent was very tiny, small until it could be overlooked, he was indeed moving!


    If Lan Bao was present, he would surely jump out of his skin!


    Because Ye Yuan already withdrew protective essence energy! He was currently completely unprotected! Taking off protective essence energy in the Level Five Gale Region, this was no different from suicide!


    The all-pervasive wind blades would mince martial artists into meat paste anytime.


    Even for Fierce Gale World martial artists who lived each day in the gale winds, nobody dared to do so too!


    But not only did Ye Yuan did it, he even stubbornly survived until now. Although the wounds on his body looked very dreadful and shocking, it was beyond all doubt that he was still alive!


    . . . . . .


    Lan Feng chased the bloodstains all the way. The initial exhilaration became doubt. Then, it turned into a foreboding feeling!


    The deeper in, the more intense that ominous feeling got.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan did not die!


    If Ye Yuan really lost resistance, he would be diced into pieces by these materialized wind blades very soon.


    And the bloodstains on the ground were only some flecks and spots. It looked rather like it dripped from some minor wounds.


    And along the way as he tracked, he discovered that the bloodstains on the ground were becoming lesser and lesser!


    When he had just started, there were bloodstains the size of two palms on the ground. Later, it gradually became one palm size. Then, to the back, there were only bloodstains the size of a chicken egg.


    What did this show?


    It showed that Ye Yuan''s wounds were currently healing!


    Lan Bao sucked in a deep breath and forcefully mustered up essence energy to increase speed and hunt him down!


    He wanted to see just what deceitful trick Ye Yuan was deliberately doing.


    Half a day after entering the Level Five Gale Region, Lan Bao finally saw Ye Yuan who was drifting in the air!


    When Ye Yuan appeared in front of Lan Bao, words were really unable to describe the astonishment in his heart.


    The bloodstains on Ye Yuan already dried up. But that miserable feel came from straight ahead.


    Except, Lan Bao could not become happy at all when he saw Ye Yuan''s tragic appearance.


    Because that was not the main point!


    The main point was that Ye Yuan was actually comprehending the Concept of Wind in the Level Five Gale Region!


    Comprehending the Concept of Wind by itself was not something impressive. One could say that Fierce Gale World martial artists have been comprehending the Concept of Wind without a moment''s pause since birth.


    But there had never been anyone who would use this sort of insane method to comprehend concepts!


    Removing protective essence energy to let their bodies be fully exposed to the gale winds. Nobody dared to try this kind of suicidal cultivation method!


    Ignoring that this was the Level Five Gale Region, even at the Level Four or even the Level Three Gale Region there would not be people doing this sort of thing!


    But Ye Yuan did it just like that!


    Not only did he do it, he even survived proper and well until now!


    This was truly something beyond understanding!


    Without essence energy protecting the body, how did Ye Yuan avoid those countless streaks of concentrated wind blades?


    When Lan Bao saw Ye Yuan''s movements clearly, his pupils involuntarily constricted!


    Ye Yuan''s body was swaying about in an extremely tiny range. And each time he swayed, he could evade the wind blades skillfully!


    With Lan Bao''s visual prowess, he actually could not see clearly just how Ye Yuan avoided it!


    But undoubtedly, the wind blades that were everywhere and that could only be withstood using protective essence energy in his eyes, Ye Yuan could avoid them niftily!


    Those wind blades could not harm Ye Yuan!


    Whoosh!


    A wind blade cut Ye Yuan''s body. Ye Yuan furrowed his brows in pain. Several drops of fresh blood flowed down his body!


    Seeing this scene, Lan Bao''s heart plummeted.


    He plainly saw earlier that when that wind blade arrived in front of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan already had nowhere to evade.


    But the final outcome was that . . . it just left a trivial wound on Ye Yuan''s arm!


    And just in that instant earlier, there were no less than several hundred wind blades that attacked Ye Yuan. But only this one wind blade left a shallow wound on Ye Yuan''s body!


    "No way! I can''t let him continue to comprehend! Take this chance to kill him!"


    Lan Bao had an ominous feeling. He decided to make a move!


    The next instant, Lan Bao''s Sea Transformation Realm aura abruptly erupted. Only to see his body transform into an afterimage, sweeping over towards Ye Yuan in mid-air!


    "Tumultuous Violent Wave! Go die, Ye Yuan!"


    An extremely violent punch, formidable until it made people feel stifled.


    But Ye Yuan in mid-air seemed to still be immersed in the world of comprehending the Concept of Wind and was oblivious to Lan Bao''s attack.


    Lan Bao''s explosive power was extremely strong and his speed was also exceedingly quick. His figure crossed a distance of several hundred feet in a blink of an eye and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Powerful essence energy undulations blasted away all those materialized wind blades, forming a vacuum zone without wind blades!


    One could imagine just how formidable the might of this fist from Lan Bao was!


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan who had his eyes shut the whole time suddenly snapped them open. Looking at Lan Bao, the corner of his mouth showed a derisive smile.


    Lan Bao was shocked inwardly and immediately felt that things were not going well.


    Indeed, he only felt a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from sight!


    "You came at such a perfect timing. I can test the Wind flow True Intent that I''d just comprehended!"


    It was as if Ye Yuan''s voice came from hell.

 351 Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!

    "True intent?! You''re saying that you comprehended true intent?!" Lan Bao''s gazed turned intent as he asked in disbelief.


    "What? You don''t believe it? You can come and give it a try!" Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Lan Bao''s eyes flickered. He was all too clear on what true intent meant.


    He was also way too clear on the difficulty of comprehending true intent.


    Just a short half days'' time and Ye Yuan actually comprehended a true intent. This was a seriously tremendous blow to him.


    He pursued Ye Yuan for seven days and seven nights and such a result appeared in the end. This really made him unable to quite accept it.


    Hence, he chose not to believe it!


    "Humph! Then I''ll give it a shot! Do you think that dodging my attack once by a fluke can scare me? True intent? Heh heh, is true intent that easy to comprehend?" Lan Bao said with a cold sneer.


    Finished talking, another punch struck forth!


    At practically the first moment he threw the punch, Ye Yuan''s figure floated away like a piece of paper. The punch hit nothing again!


    Lan Bao''s face fell. Ye Yuan''s movements were too bizarre; as if he knew what he was thinking!


    That punch just now, Ye Yuan accurately predicted his intent to attack and responded right away.


    Lan Bao''s speed was exceedingly swift. This was just something that took place in the time for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Ye Yuan''s speed was not fast, but he could respond to it in advance.


    "I still don''t believe it!"


    Lan Bao gritted his teeth, his fists smashing onto Ye Yuan''s body like a torrential squall.


    But Ye Yuan''s body was just like a falling leaf in the wind. The fiercer Lan Bao''s fist was, the harder it was to hit him.


    It was like Lan Bao''s punches spurred the air to forcefully push Ye Yuan aside. So no matter how Lan Bao attacked, he could not hit Ye Yuan!


    In a twinkle, over a hundred moves passed. But Lan Bao did not even touch the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeves!


    At this instant, Lan Bao faintly had a feeling that it was as if Ye Yuan had merged together with the surrounding wild winds, and he was fighting the entire storm.


    This sort of feeling was utterly preposterous, but it was so real too!


    "Give up! You can''t hit me! If it were you at full power, I might still have some fear. But the current you can''t even touch me at all!" Ye Yuan said lightly.


    "Shut your mouth for me! Go to hell!" Lan Bao already descended into a crazed state and completely turned a deaf ear to Ye Yuan''s words.


    Or perhaps, he did not wish to admit this fact at all.


    "Sigh . . ." Ye Yuan heaved a sigh. His figure swayed, vanishing from within Lan Bao''s fist silhouettes.


    When he appeared again, he was already over a hundred feet away.


    "Your attacks are much too inferior compared to these wind blades that cover the entire sky. Even these wind blades can''t hurt me anymore. How can you harm me?"


    Lan Bao''s expression was ugly to the max. He knew that Ye Yuan should have really comprehended the so-called Wind Flow True Intent!


    Not only did he fail to kill Ye Yuan, but he also let Ye Yuan obtain a tremendous harvest instead. Lan Bao''s gloominess now could be imagined.


    "No matter how fast your fist is, you just have to move, and the wind will flow along with it. Thanks to you, I grasped the law of wind flow in this Level Five gale region and comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Humph! So what if you grasped true intent? My Lan Family Tribe has already sent massive forces to guard the realm passageway. Do you think that you can still escape back to the Endless World safely?" Lan Bao said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "I don''t need you to worry about that! After I rescue my fellow apprentices, I naturally have ways to bring them back. I feel that it''s better if you worry about your own matters instead."


    "Even if I can''t do anything to you, you aren''t thinking that you can do anything to me, right? Don''t forget, you''re only at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm!"


    Although Lan Bao was not at his peak condition right now, he was a Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert after all.


    A lean camel was bigger than a horse. He did not believe that Ye Yuan could do anything to him!


    Ye Yuan said, "When I comprehended true intent earlier, I just happened to have some ideas that I can test out on you. If you can receive it, so what if I let you leave?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s fully confident appearance, Lan Bao was taken aback and instinctively felt that things were not good.


    He was currently suffering from severe blood essence loss and his strength was already greatly discounted. In addition to staying half a day in the Level Five gale region, he was already an arrow at the end of its flight long ago.


    On the other hand, although his body was riddled with injuries, Ye Yuan virtually did not use much essence energy in this half a day. Instead, he recovered quite substantially.


    With one weakening and the other strengthening, it already lessened the distance between the two considerably.


    Furthermore, Lan Bao had witnessed Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals. Its attack power was so strong that even he did not dare to be negligent.


    Thinking up to here, how could Lan Bao dare to continue clashing head-on with Ye Yuan?


    Losing face was better than losing his life!


    Lan Bao did think about anything else, turning around to flee!


    Ye Yuan had noticed his actions long ago. How could he give him a chance to escape?


    The seven days and seven nights pursuit had forced Ye Yuan into a hopeless situation! If not for having some inspiration at the eleventh hour and comprehending true intent, what condition he would be in right now would still be ambiguous.


    Moreover, in the Eternal Splendor Palace''s second level, that punch from Lan Bao nearly claimed Ye Yuan''s little life!


    New grudges together with old hatred. Now was the time to settle all scores!


    In Lan Bao''s eyes, Ye Yuan released his aura, and his entire being seemingly to have transformed into a mass of flames!


    Ye Yuan put both hands together. A gust of fierce wind rose up from the bottom of his feet. That bundle of flames flared sky-high with a roar!


    "Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon! Go!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry and sent it out with both palms. A colossal roaring dragon rushed out, hurtling at full speed towards the frenziedly running Lan Bao!


    Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Mortal Chapter''s third auxiliary skill!


    When he was at the State of Qin, Ye Hang once used this martial technique. Its power was matchless.


    And at this moment, the gigantic dragon that Ye Yuan fired out was many times larger than Ye Hang''s!


    The moment the fire dragon was unleashed, it actually caught up to Lan Bao in a blink of an eye.


    Lan Bao was in the midst of fleeing. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura from behind catching up and could not help getting a shock! He hurriedly turned around to face the enemy.


    "Tumultuous Violent Wave! Break for me!"


    Lan Bao smashed a fist out ferociously, clashing together with the fire dragon.


    With this collision, Lan Bao''s face changed drastically. The fire dragon actually directly coiled around his fist and snaked upwards!


    How could he have the time to change his move at this point? Only to hear a bang! The fire dragon collided viciously onto Lan Bao''s chest!


    "Puhwark!"


    The incredible impact force sent Lan Bao flying out and vomiting a large mouthful of blood in mid-air. It was just that Lan Bao had yet to tumble to the ground when he was swept away by a gust of fierce wind.


    "ARGH!"


    Lan Bao''s tragic cries came from the air. Countless gale wind penetrated his protective essence energy, slashing on his body like blades!


    After a dozen breaths later, not a sound could be heard from Lan Bao anymore.


    He was originally already at his limits and received Ye Yuan''s dreadful attack too. He was simply unable to maintain his own protective essence energy anymore.


    These storm winds did not have any sympathy and attacked Lan Bao indiscriminately. How could Lan Bao not die?


    Watching Lan Bao be swallowed up by the fierce storms, Ye Yuan also sucked in a breath deeply.


    The hardships along the way, only he alone knew . . .

 352 Objective - Central Capital!

    With Lan Bao''s death, Ye Yuan''s tightly wound nerves relaxed immediated.


    But it was only to see his legs turn to jelly. Even standing upright was actually quite strenuous.


    The few days of sprinting at his limits already wore Ye Yuan''s body and mind out immensely. At this moment, he could not sustain any longer.


    Lan Feng''s figure suddenly appeared. He was startled when he saw Ye Yuan''s condition and hurriedly supported him.


    Having the slave seal planted, all of Lan Feng''s words and actions centered around Ye Yuan and did not have his own personality.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s all scratched up appearance, Lan Feng felt concern from the bottom of his heart.


    "Are you alright, Master?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said weakly, "Bring me out."


    Lan Feng nodded and piggybacked Ye Yuan towards the Level Four Gale Region.


    . . . . . .


    Two days later, somewhere in the Level Four Gale Region, an essence energy tempest towered to the skies, isolating the biting cold gale winds.


    Around an hour later, the essence energy tempest dissipated, revealing a white-clothed youth with glimmering eyes and an imposing aura!


    This white-clothed youth was precisely Ye Yuan!


    Although these few days of pursuit was impossibly arduous for him, it was also a valuable gain.


    The pursuit-evasion journey these seven days and nights not only let him comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent, it even let his realm reached the Peak First Level Crystal Formation Realm inconspicuously.


    Hence, after he recuperated from his injuries, Ye Yuan chose to break through directly!


    The Ye Yuan who had just broken through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm had his essence, energy, and spirit reached peak condition, sweeping away the dispiritedness previously.


    The body that was initially riddled with injuries by the gale winds was also already completely recovered now.


    Those scars on his face had already vanished fully right now, he seemed the same as usual.


    But having been through such fierce consumption, Ye Yuan''s Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills were pretty much all expended entirely.


    A Condensed Fragrance Pill was a Tier 3 essence energy recovery medicinal pill. It was unbelievably marvelous, much stronger than ordinary Tier 3 Qi Returning Pill.


    If he did not have Condensed Fragrance Pills earlier to replenish essence energy, Ye Yuan would have been caught up by Lan Bao long ago.


    It was also relying precisely on the Condensed Fragrance Pills and Haste Pills, these two types of heaven-defying Tier 3 medicinal pills, that Ye Yuan dared to play such a great chasing game with Lan Bao; he won in the end.


    "To think that the Concept of Wind and Concept of Fire would actually have such formidable offensive power when combined! It''s just a pity that I only comprehended the Transmission True Intent for the Concept of Fire. If I comprehended the Scorching True Intent, the power should be able to rise another level! Indeed, the effects of merging true intent are even stronger!" Ye Yuan mused to himself.


    When facing off with Lan Bao previously, luck favored Ye Yuan as he had an inspiration and thought about incorporating the Concept of Wind into the Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon. He did not think that it would garner an unexpected effect!


    The so-called ''fire borrowed the power of wind, and wind aided the might of fire'' was this logic.


    The Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon''s offensive power during an instant was even stronger than the Thousand Flowing Petals!


    Thousand Flowing Petals combined both offense and defense, belonging to the pure killing people with blades type. Furthermore, Thousand Flowing Petals could attack in a variety of ways and was exceedingly hard to fend off.


    In comparison, Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was a pure offensive type martial technique!


    As long as Ye Yuan''s finished casting it, its instantaneous offensive might would be remarkably powerful. This point could be seen from Lan Bao''s end.


    "Looks like . . . much still remains to be accomplished on the road to comprehending concepts!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    Wanting to become a Divine Realm''s peak existence, comprehending concepts was a path that had to be taken!


    Ye Yuan knew for a fact that the Ten Great Divine Kings were all martial artists who comprehended at least three kinds of supreme true intent!


    And he only just comprehended one kind of supreme true intent''s elementary form up till now. Saying that much remained to be accomplished was expected.


    It was just that if Ye Yuan let the Ten Great Divine Kings hear his words, they would probably cough up blood on the spot.


    When they were at Ye Yuan''s age, forget about supreme true intent, they might not even have touched upon the boundaries of true intent.


    And Ye Yuan already comprehended four types of true intents, and fused two of them into the elementary form of a supreme true intent!


    Such monstrous talent, even the Ten Great Divine Kings would feel deeply ashamed.


    While Ye Yuan had knowledge surpassing this plane and also the experiences of a Divine Realm''s Alchemy Emperor, these were insufficient to let him comprehend true intent so quickly!


    Ye Yuan relied entirely on his effort and talent to be able to comprehend four kinds of true intents!


    . . . . . .


    Seeing Ye Yuan finish breaking through, Lan Feng who had been protecting by the side the whole time came forward and said, "Congratulations to Master on the breakthrough!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and asked Lan Feng, "How far is this place from the Central Capital?"


    Lan Feng said, "Replying master, this place is still the Level Four Gale Region. If without flying spirit artifacts, rushing to the Central Capital will probably need several years!"


    "En? Why is it so far? Lan Bao and I ran for six days and nights and finished running through the Level Four Gale Region. Reaching the Central Capital actually requires several years?" Ye Yuan asked puzzledly.


    He only used six days to finish running through the Level Four Gale Region. So he felt that the Fierce Gale World''s area should not be large.


    Looking at it now, it was not what he had actually imagined!


    "The Fierce Gale World''s broadest expansive regions are the Level One and Level Two Gale Regions, followed by Level Three Gale Region. The vast majority of the Fierce Gale World''s inhabitants also stay in these regions. In the Level Four Gale Region, there are virtually no signs of human inhabitation. And the Level Four to Level Nine Gale Regions added together is roughly the size of the first three Gale Regions. Moreover, the Level Four Gale Region is actually just a transition zone. The land area is not vast. Hence, Master only used six days to finish running it," Lan Feng explained.


    Ye Yuan only saw the light now. "So, that''s how it is! Then, are there any places nearby with transmission arrays leading to the Central Capital?"


    Since walking on foot took too long, they obviously could only go through transmission arrays.


    Lan Feng said, "Fierce Gale World''s formations path is undeveloped. The tribes in the vicinity with transmission arrays leading straight to the Central Capital, as far as I know, there''s only the Lan Family Tribe."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and was not surprised by this. Since the Lan Family Tribe was left here by the previous Wind Emperor to guard the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array, having a transmission array leading to the capital was very normal.


    "Since direct travel won''t work, do a layover then. Can''t be that there aren''t mid-way transmission arrays, right?"


    "Of course there are. Some of the slightly larger tribes nearby have transmission arrays leading to the Level One region."


    "Alright then. You bring me to a tribe that''s relatively easy to talk to. Hmm . . . should I disguise myself?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Ye Yuan''s outfit and skin color had a clear difference from Lan Feng''s. One look and they could tell that he was not a Fierce Gale World native. Ye Yuan naturally had this query.


    But Lan Feng said, "No need. The Level One Gale Region''s gale winds won''t be so strong like the outer boundaries. Everyone''s living conditions are comparatively much better. Many of the noble family''s juniors in the Central Capital are the same as master; all very refined people and won''t be rugged like us. Master just has to change into Fierce Gale World''s attires and other people won''t become suspicious."


    Ye Yuan caught on and changed into the clothes inside Lan Feng''s storage ring. His entire person''s demeanor took on a new feel; decreased a few parts of elegant air, increased in some unyielding feel.


    The two people got their belongings in order and were just about to set off for the Level Three region when all of a sudden, a battle cry sounded.

    The two people got their belongings in order and were just about to set off for the Level Three region when all of a sudden, a battle cry sounded.

 353 Saving People

    Human figures swarmed together, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.


    Five Crystal Formation Realm martial artists were currently in the midst of a fierce battle with a gigantic scorpion.


    The five martial artists were all late-stage Crystal Formation Realm; there were three Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, one Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm, and a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    But very clearly, the peak Tier 3 giant scorpion''s strength was above these five individuals.


    The five people fought while running. Their bodies all had injuries, appearing very pitiful.


    "Younger Sister Yan, you quickly bring the Violet Illusion Blood Ginseng back to the tribe! We''ll hold back this damn fellow!" said a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm with the greatest strength as he pushed a girl out of the battleground.


    The one called Sister Yan was the only female among these five people. This Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm clearly wanted to protect her.


    "How can that do! This Crimson Tailed Scorpion is almost about to evolve to become a Tier 4 demonic beast. You guys are completely not its match!" Sister Yan said in near tears.


    The Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist gritted his teeth and said, "Quickly leave! If all of us die here, what about Young Patriarch!"


    When Sister Yan heard these words, her face showed conflict as she stood on the spot at a loss on what to do.


    The young patriarch was the number one genius in the tribe. If he died because of her, then even a hundred deaths could hardly absolve her from the blame!


    But to let her abandon her comrades and flee for her life alone, Li Yan could not do it.


    That Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s strength was very powerful. Her four companions were all dancing with death. Even Li Hong who was the strongest could not fend it off either.


    "AHH!"


    A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm was struck in the chest by the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s giant pincers, flying out backward.


    When Li Yan saw this scene, she clenched her teeth and charged back in!


    When Li Hong saw Li Yan join the battlefield again, he could not help flying into a thunderous rage, roaring, "Li Yan! What are you doing?! Do you know that young patriarch''s life and death is all in your hands?!"


    Li Yan held back her tears as she said with a stubborn face, "I''m not leaving! Big Brother Hong, you cared for me since young and concerned yourself with me. Asking me to leave you guys and escape with my life alone, I can''t do it!"


    "You! I''m really exasperated to death by you! Be careful!" Li Hong swung his longsword, deflecting away the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s giant pincers, saving Li Yan''s life.


    Li Hong gave a sigh and said, "Forget it. Come on back then. Meet the attacks carefully! The three of you restrain it. I''ll circle around to it''s flank and attack it; I''ll strive to deal it a lethal strike!"


    . . . . . .


    The five people''s full attention was on fighting the Crimson Tailed Scorpion and was completely oblivious that not far away, there were two people currently observing them.


    "Lan Feng, quickly go and finish off that Crimson Tailed Scorpion," Ye Yuan commanded Lan Feng.


    "Yes, Master!" Lan Feng acknowledged with a bow and vanished like a gust of wind.


    And right at this moment, Li Hong finally reached around to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s side, looking for a gap to attack the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s soft spots.


    But just as Li Hong finished making an attack, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s tail appeared before Li Hong like ghosts and goblins!


    Li Hong''s expression changed drastically but wanting to change his move at this time was already too late.


    Li Yan and the rest also saw this scene and could not help but shout in despair, "Big Brother Hong!"


    The Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s tail was its strongest weapon. But up till now, this was the first time it used this lethal weapon.


    The result was predictable!


    Li Hong was aware that he could not escape this catastrophe and shut his eyes painfully.


    At virtually the same time, Li Hong felt an extremely powerful force graze past his ear. He snapped his eyes open, then saw that Crimson Tailed Scorpion being smashed flying into the air!


    Whoosh!


    A strong breeze swept by. A blurry silhouette passed by his body, dealing yet another punch to the Crimson Tailed Scorpion in the air!


    Bang!


    The Crimson Tailed Scorpion was sent flying again!


    Lan Feng followed up once more and punched again!


    This time, the Crimson Tailed Scorpion finally ceased any movement. It did not even let out a squawk before being disposed of by Lan Feng.


    When Li Hong saw this scene, he was first flabbergasted, following that was wild elation!


    At the life and death juncture, he was actually saved!


    "Thank you very much for Senior''s life-saving grave! This junior is Li Hong. These are my clansman. The five of us are people from the Cloud Prancing Tribe. I wonder which tribe senior came from. We''ll surely pay a visit and thank this favor!" Li Hong brought Li Yan and the rest to bow towards Lan Feng.


    Lan Feng had the air of an expert currently as he waved his hand and said, "You all don''t need to thank me. The one who saved you isn''t me; it''s my master."


    Li Hong was secretly taken aback. But verbally, he hastily said, "I wonder who is Senior''s master . . ."


    To be able to use a Sea Transformation Realm expert as a servant, he surely had a powerful background!


    Lan Feng said coolly, "Follow me."


    Li Hong and the rest naturally did not dare to defy and kept in pace with Lan Feng.


    Before long, a 15 to 16-year-old youth appeared in their sights.


    This Li Hong was evidently somebody who had experienced the world. Seeing Ye Yuan, he hurriedly bowed, "This lowly one, Li Hong and clansmen, give thanks to Young Master for your life-saving grace."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, "Just some simple help. Which tribe are you all from?"


    "Replying Young Master, we''re from the Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong said respectfully.


    When facing Ye Yuan, Li Hong did not know why, but he actually felt a powerful pressure.


    Originally, he revered out of gratitude. But now, it was awe that came from the depths of his heart.


    This feeling was very absurd. Why would a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm sense pressure in front of a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm?


    This young man was not simple!


    "Does your tribe have a transmission array?" Ye Yuan asked directly.


    Li Hong was stunned. Clearly, he did not think that Ye Yuan would have such an inquiry. But Ye Yuan was their savior. He naturally would not hide the truth.


    "Where does Savior want to go? Our Cloud Prancing Tribe is the largest tribe in the circumference of 10 thousand miles. We naturally have a transmission array," Li Hong said.


    "I came out from the Central Capital to temper myself. Now that the trial period is already over, I want to return close to the Central Capital. I wonder if your tribe can allow for this convenience?" Ye Yuan casually made up a reason.


    Li Hong hesitated slightly before saying, "Not hiding from Benefactor, only the patriarch can make the decision to allow outsiders to use the transmission array. The few of us dare not speak rashly. But Benefactor saved us, which is the same as saving Young Patriarch. I believe that the patriarch will definitely approve. I wonder if . . . Benefactor can come back to the Cloud Prancing Tribe with us?"


    "Oh? Why do you say that?" Ye Yuan asked out of curiosity.


    "Young Patriarch is the strongest person in our Cloud Prancing Tribe''s junior generation. Originally, his strength stood head and shoulders above all others with the air of a great general and was the idol and goal for our junior generation. But a month ago, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. He lost all appetite and shut himself in his room all day. Half a month later, he fell ill and was confined to his bed. Now, he''s already at death''s door. We set out on this trip in order to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng to refine for him the Blood Cleansing Pill. That''s how we got into this hunt and almost lost our lives. Benefactor saved the five of our lives which is naturally tantamount to saving Young Patriarch''s life!" Li Hong clarified.


    "Sudden temperament change? Lost all appetite?" Ye Yuan ruminated on the symptoms that Li Hong said.


    It was very clear that his old weakness surfaced again.


    "Yes. Is it possible that . . . Savior knows this illness?" Li Hong enquired.


    Ye Yuan diverted the topic by laughing and saying, "Since you guys are here for the sake of saving your family''s young patriarch, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"

 354 Trouble Comes Knocking!

    Reaching the Level Three region, the gale winds were noticeably weaker.


    The human martial artists living in this region were mostly living in a tribal manner.


    Ye Yuan rode on a miniature spirit boat. After two days of flying, he finally arrived at the Cloud Prancing Tribe.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan poked around and got the information that the Cloud Prancing Tribe was very far away from the Lan Family Tribe and completely could not extend here. This made him set his mind completely at ease.


    "Young Master Ji, ahead is our Cloud Prancing Tribe," Li Hong pointed a little way off and said.


    The Lan Family Tribe all knew Ye Yuan''s identity. Ye Yuan obviously would not use his real name and walk around. Hence, he gave Li Hong a fake name.


    Of course, it could not be counted as fake either, because Ji Qing, this name, was also considered Ye Yuan''s real name.


    Ye Yuan naturally saw the Cloud Prancing Tribe too, because this tribe was much bigger than the Lan Family Tribe, looking rather like a small town in the Endless World.


    Once they entered the tribe, a rather primeval aura reached his face. Ye Yuan had to admit that the Fierce Gale World''s living conditions were indeed overly grueling.


    Li Hong and the others brought Ye Yuan straight to the patriarch''s compound. But the scene before their eyes made them dazed. A foreboding feeling welled up in their hearts.


    Gazing over, white silk hung everywhere outside the compound. It was actually the manner of having a funeral.


    Li Yan''s tears already flowed down uncontrollably. "Sniff, sniff, is Young Patriarch . . ."


    "Shut up! Young Patriarch will step into the Soul Sea Realm in the future and inherit the patriarch position. How can he possibly die?" Li Hong said through clenched jaws.


    In truth, he already knew too. Holding a funeral procession at this time, it was almost certain that something happened to Young Patriarch. It was just that he was unwilling to admit it verbally.


    Right then, seven to eight people suddenly walked out of the mansion. All of them were in mourner attire.


    The face of an elderly person at the front darkened when he saw Li Hong and company. He said to the group of people behind him, "Come, men! Take down these five rebels for me!"


    "Yes!"


    The seven to eight people behind him acknowledged right away and was about to come forward to arrest Li Hong and the rest.


    Li Hong''s expression changed, and he said furiously, "Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us are loyal and steadfast to the tribe! When did we become rebels?!"


    Zhu Shan smirked coldly and said, "Loyal and steadfast? Harrumph! I think that you have ulterior motives! Young Patriarch was terminally ill, and we asked you all to go hunt for medicinal herbs separately. In the end, the other three groups all returned on time. Only the five of you took so long to come back, causing Young Patriarch to leave this mortal world! Li Hong, do you still dare to say that you''re not rebels?"


    "What?! It''s really young patriarch?! No way, impossible . . ." Li Hong muttered under his breath.


    Confirming the news of young patriarch''s death from Zhu Shan''s mouth, Li Hong''s entire person was overwhelmed.


    "Humph! What''s impossible?! Before the five of you set off, Master Dao Yuan repeatedly urged you all to absolutely bring back the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng within two days. But you actually delayed for a full two days! The Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng is one of the most crucial spirit medicines. Without it, Master Dao Yuan also can''t make something out of nothing! In the end, last night, Young Patriarch, he . . ."


    Talking up to here, tears also coursed down Zhu Shan''s old face. Clearly, he felt great pain towards Young Patriarch''s passing.


    An elderly man was already filled with such bitter grief, let alone the others. Li Hong and the others already had tears flowing down their faces long ago.


    This Zhu Shan''s excuse was impeccable from the very start. Even Ye Yuan was also hoodwinked.


    The lifesaving spirit medicine did not arrive. Zhu Shan arrested Li Hong and four in his rage. This was also human nature.


    After all, to the Cloud Prancing Tribe, Young Patriarch was their future, their hope.


    But right when tears were flowing down Zhu Shan''s old face, a young man behind him sold him out.


    The others were still fine, but the excitement and exhilaration on the youth''s face could not be concealed no matter what. To this end, he even lowered his head, fearful that others may discover it.


    It was just that this scene was captured by Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not say anything much. This was other people''s family affairs after all. He, an outsider, naturally could not poke his nose in. But it left a mark in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    After all, his goal was still to borrow the use of the transmission array.


    Li Hong, Li Yan, and the rest took a blow from this news. Their minds were already in kind of a stupor long ago.


    "We''re at fault, we''re really guilty! It''s all our fault that we didn''t bring the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng back in time! Except . . . Elder Zhu Shan, can you let us see the young patriarch for one last time?" Li Hong said agitatedly.


    But Zhu Shan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Young Patriarch was our Cloud Prancing Tribe''s future. You committed such a heinous crime against him and still have the face to see him? Aren''t you all afraid of profaning him and letting him unable to get peace in death?"


    Zhu Shan''s words struck the heart word by word. With him saying that, how could Li Hong have the face to go meet Young Patriarch a final time?


    Seeing that his words already took effect, Zhu Shan said to the people behind him again, "What are you all still standing there for? Quickly take them down! En? Hang on! Who are these two people?"


    Actually, Zhu Shan saw Ye Yuan and Lan Feng long ago. He only pointed the spearhead to Ye Yuan at this time.


    He did not pay heed to Ye Yuan. It was just that Li Hong they all actually brought a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm back. This made Zhu Shan rather fearful.


    Zhu Shan''s words made Li Hong feel frightened in his heart. He only remembered that Ye Yuan was still by the side at this time.


    Causing Young Patriarch''s death already made him unbelievably guilty. If he even implicated his savior, he would really find it hard to absolve his sins even with a hundred deaths.


    "Elder Zhu Shan, the five of us met a Crimson Tailed Scorpion on the brink of advancing in the Level Four gale region. Fortunately, Young Master Ji rescued us. I request for Elder Zhu Shan not to make things difficult for him." Li Hong hurriedly explained.


    Who knew that Zhu Shan''s face changed and he said grimly, "You all are clearly aware that the tribe is facing troubled times right now. You actually still dare to bring outsiders over?! In my view, they are highly suspicious! Did you all purposely collude with outsiders to harm Young Patriarch?"


    "How can Elder Zhu Shan say such things? The five of us are staunch and steadfast to Young Patriarch. This point, Patriarch can stand witness! Young Master Ji and us really just met coincidentally! I hope that Elder Zhu Shan can let them leave!" Li Hong was taken aback as he said.


    "Humph! Young Patriarch''s ailment is originally very odd already. The cause still hasn''t been found out up until now. Young Patriarch just passed away last night, and you guys brought outsiders to the tribe. It''s seriously too suspicious! The way I see it, it''s still better to keep the two of them here! If investigations reveal in the end that they really have nothing to do with Young Patriarch''s death, we''ll naturally let them leave!" Zhu Shan said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows furrowed. He did not find trouble, but he did not think that trouble still came knocking.


    Immediately, he said icily, "Keeping us here also has to depend on whether or not you have this capability!"


    Zhu Shan smiled coldly and said, "Heh heh, revealed your true colors? If you don''t have any ulterior motives, why would you be afraid of us investigating? Looking at your appearance, are you planning on resisting stubbornly to the end? Isn''t it just a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm? How can our Cloud Prancing Tribe be unable to even bring out a couple of Sea Transformation Realms?"


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak when Li Hong resolved his heart and blocked in front of Ye Yuan!

 355 You Canst Accompany Him Even If You Die

    "Elder Zhu Shan, Young Master Ji is my, Li Hong''s, savior! I can''t let you bring him away!" Li Hong said firmly.


    When these words from Li Hong came out, Li Yan and the others also slowly shifted their feet to block in front of Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this sight, Ye Yuan felt rather surprised.


    Originally, him saving Li Hong and the rest was just a matter of convenience. Li Hong agreed to bring him here to use the transmission array. It was also considered a fair deal for both sides.


    Ye Yuan and the Cloud Prancing Tribe had no connections at all. He naturally did not wish to be involved in their domestic affairs. Moreover, he was in a rush, so he was disinclined to bother with these things.


    He initially planned on teaching this Zhu Shan a lesson before leaving the Cloud Prancing Tribe. But he did not think that this Li Hong was so loyal.


    Since that was the case, there was no harm in him meddling in this side business.


    Seeing Li Hong''s actions, Zhu Shan did not get angry but was delighted instead. But his face had a furious look as he said, "Li Hong, is this you steeling your heart to revolt?"


    "Why does Elder Zhu Shan say so? I, Li Hong, am a member of the Cloud Prancing Tribe in life, and a ghost of the Cloud Prancing Tribe in death! It''s just that to let me watch helplessly as my savior is thrown into jail, I can''t do it!" Li Hong said without being servile or disrespectful.


    "Fine! Since that''s the case, then don''t blame me! All of you listen up! Li Hong colluded with outsiders and caused Young Patriarch''s death! In the name of elders, I command you all to execute the five of them!" Zhu Shan said grimly.


    Li Hong''s expression changed. He moved his lips wanting to explain but ultimately did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and said to Ye Yuan with a bitter smile, "I''m so sorry, Young Master Ji! I didn''t think that I''d implicate you two to be wronged unjustly! The deaths of the five of us are insufficient! Lord Ji Feng, please hurry up and bring Young Master Ji away from here!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You fools. Other people are exploiting your loyalty to eliminate dissidents and you all still stupidly deliver yourselves to the door to let them kill you."


    Li Hong was stunned and asked uncertainly, "What do Young Master Ji''s words mean?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hands but did not clarify his words. Instead, he said, "You don''t bother with what my words mean first. Bring us to see that young patriarch."


    Not that Ye Yuan did not wish to talk, but it was not convenient for him to say some things right now.


    The matter within a tribe, if he, an outsider, talked too much, he would invariably be suspected of sowing discord, and it would be hard to avoid drawing suspicions.


    In addition, Zhu Shan stated categorically that he and Li Hong conspired to cause young patriarch''s death. These words became even harder to say.


    "But Young Patriarch already . . ." Li Hong''s face dimmed.


    Ye Yuan patted Li Hong''s shoulder and said smilingly, "Take a look first, then talk! You guys and Young Patriarch were as close as brothers. Can''t be that you''re not even going to see him one last time, right?"


    Being patted by Ye Yuan, Li Hong finally mustered up his courage and nodded his head fiercely.


    "Even if I get smacked to death by Patriarch in one slap, I also have to give Young Patriarch a kowtow!" Li Hong said.


    Finished talking, he turned to Zhu Shan again and said, "Elder Zhu Shan, please let me go and give Young Patriarch a kowtow and admit my fault. I''ll commit suicide before him to apologize for my offense!"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied but did not say anything. With him making a move, Li Hong might not even get a chance to commit suicide!


    "Taking your own life to apologize for your crime? Bringing these two outsiders? You aren''t trying to wreak havoc in the mourning hall, are you?! What are you all waiting for; get to work!" Zhu Shan said.


    "Stop!" Just as everyone was about to make their move, a voice barked.


    When Li Hong saw the arrival, his face involuntarily showed great ecstasy. "Elder Li Min!"


    Li Min nodded slightly and said to Zhu Shan, "Patriarch asked them to go inside and explain the reason. If there really was an intentional delay, punishing them then won''t be too late."


    Finished talking, Li Min turned right around and went in.


    Li Hong was overjoyed when he heard this. With Patriarch''s order, he believed that Zhu Shan would not dare to say anything else.


    Zhu Shan''s face was green as he looked at Li Min. Clearly, he did not think that Patriarch already knew what transpired outside the door.


    . . . . . .


    The group entered the inner hall. A coffin was placed in the center of the inner hall. Inside should be the young patriarch.


    The moment Li Hong and the rest saw Young Patriarch''s coffin, they immediately lost control and burst into tears, kneeling in front of the coffin.


    "Young Patriarch, it''s all Li Hong''s incompetence! I killed you!" Li Hong, a grown man, cried like a baby.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he also knew that Li Hong and this young patriarch were as close as brothers.


    Zhu Shan also followed in at this time. But he smiled coldly when he saw this scene and said, "Li Hong! Stop acting! I''m afraid that Young Patriarch''s illness was caused by you from the start, right?!"


    "Zhu Shan, don''t jump to conclusions! Lord Patriarch will naturally make a decision!" Li Min frowned and said.


    Before Zhu Shan spoke again, an old man at the helm opened his mouth and said blankly, "Little Hong . . . you come over."


    This old man was shockingly a Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. It was just that his complexion was very haggard and he looked downcast.


    The voice was not loud, but Li Hong''s body suddenly trembled and he stopped crying too.


    "Lord Patriarch, Little Hong . . . is guilty! Little Hong came late!" Li Hong said as he kneeled onto the ground with a slam, choking through sobs as he took out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng.


    The patriarch sighed lightly but did not take the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng. Instead, he said, "Little Hong, I''m the one who watched you and Little Yang grow up. I know your feelings. It''s just that this time . . . sigh . . . tell me the process of how you guys obtained this Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng."


    Li Hong nodded and recounted the course of events on how they obtained this Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng, including the matter of Ye Yuan saving them.


    When Li Hong was talking, the old patriarch lifted his head slightly to take a look at Ye Yuan but did not say anything.


    "This means that you all didn''t delay even for a moment?"


    "Patriarch, Li Yang and I regard each other as brothers. He was gravely ill and on the verge of death. How can I dare to delay at all? It''s just, I didn''t think that . . . I was still a step too late in the end!" Li Hong said with a face full of self-condemnation.


    At this time, another elder sitting at the head snorted coldly and said, "Li Hong! This step too late of yours is so coincidental! Little Yang he just passed away last night, and you brought outsiders to the tribe today!"


    Li Hong eyebrows knitted when he heard that and was just about to speak. But he heard the patriarch let out a sigh and said, "Little Hong, after Little Yang breathed his last yesterday, the Elders Association made a decision . . ."


    The patriarch did not say the words at the back. But everyone present all knew what he was going to say.


    Evidently, the Elders Association already set his crime, pinning Li Yang''s death all on Li Hong''s head.


    Li Hong sucked in deeply, stood up, and slowly walked before Li Yang''s coffin, and said slowly, "Li Yang, we practiced swords together since young, stole Lord Patriarch''s medicinal pills together, and fought together. I didn''t think that you would leave first today! It''s all this Brother''s fault! I didn''t bring the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng back in time! But, I absolutely didn''t betray you! The sky and sun bear witness! Li Yang, I''m coming to accompany you!"


    Finished talking, Li Hong revolved essence energy and smacked a palm towards the top of his skull!


    When Zhu Shan and Zhu Tian watched this scene, the corner of their mouths showed a pleased sneer.


    But right when Li Hong''s palm was about to touch his crown, a figure appeared beside him like a ghost.


    Slap!


    Li Hong''s hand was hit away!


    "Young Master Ji! Why did you stop me?!" Li Hong exclaimed in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly. "You can''t accompany him even if you die."

 356 Eyes Are All Blind

    The shocked one was not Li Hong alone. Among the people present, most did not clearly see how Ye Yuan made his move!


    Ye Yuan was clearly still very far from Li Hong. But in the blink of an eye, he already reached Li Hong''s side.


    His movements were actually even quicker than Li Hong hitting himself!


    Only now did Li Hong know that he underestimated this Young Master Ji these few days. If Ye Yuan wanted to kill him just now, he would already be a dead man now!


    But Ye Yuan''s words made Li Hong rather befuddled.


    "Young Master Ji, what''s the meaning of your words?" Li Hong asked puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan''s words were rather baffling; they were without rhyme or reason, making it very hard for people to understand.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re dead, but he''s still alive. How will you accompany him? At that time, not only do you have to shoulder infamy for life, you make your close brother feel guilty for life. Why is there a need?"


    When Li Hong heard Ye Yuan''s words, he was first overjoyed but immediately smiled wryly and said, "Many thanks for Young Master Ji''s comforting. It''s just that Li Yang is indeed already dead. There are so many people here. They couldn''t all have misjudged, right?"


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak when an elderly man snorted coldly and said, "Where did this ignorant child come from?! Li Yang is already utterly without life and doesn''t have the slightest hint of a living person. You actually dare to shoot your mouth off here! Can it be that so many of us Sea Transformation Realm experts'' eyes are all blind?"


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "That''s right. Your eyes are indeed all blind!"


    Ye Yuan''s words caused a hubbub. There were seven to eight Sea Transformation Realm experts inside this inner hall.


    Especially the patriarch and another old man. They were both Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm existences.


    Ye Yuan was only a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm brat. To actually call a bunch of Sea Transformation Realms blind people, wasn''t his gall a little overly fat?


    Li Hong was greatly frightened when he heard this and hastily held back Ye Yuan, saying, "Young Master Ji, thank you very much for your good intentions. Li Hong appreciates it! Li Hong is unable to repay your great kindness in this life. I can only repay it in my next life! But Young Master Ji, take care not to offend Patriarch and the various elders because of Li Hong. Otherwise, Li Hong cannot die in peace!"


    This Li Hong was silly until it was cute. But he really was a loyal person. It was just that this sort of thing like dying to show consciousness had to be done meaningfully.


    "Truly laughable! If you say that Li Yang is not dead, why don''t you try calling him to make him reply?!" said the old man earlier, reproaching Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows and said smilingly, "What happens if I make him respond?"


    The elderly man sneered and said, "If you make him respond, I''ll kowtow to you on the spot to apologize!"


    "Then very well. You get ready to kowtow and apologize," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Hang on! What if you call and he doesn''t respond?" The old man pressured.


    "Want to play big, is it? Fine! I''ll play with you! How about this, if I call and he doesn''t answer, Li Hong and I will commit suicide together to offer an apology. But if I make him respond, you cripple your entire cultivation. Dare or not? You''re already in a highly advantageous position." Ye Yuan counter-checked and said.


    The old man''s face changed. Self-crippling cultivation was not something to joke about. Furthermore, looking at this boy''s fully confident appearance, it seemed like he really had some capabilities.


    At this time, an old man who sat at the helm stood up to denounce, "Utter nonsense! The deceased is the most important. What motives do you have, boy, to talk such drivel here? Come, men, take him down!"


    Li Hong''s expression changed drastically when he saw the situation and hurriedly said, "Vice-Patriarch Yun, Young Master Ji is doing it all for Li Hong. That''s why he did such a rash action. I beseech Vice-Patriarch Yun not to take offense!"


    That vice-patriarch Yun snorted coldly and said, "You, a traitor, still have the gall to talk! Come men, take them down!"


    Ye Yuan had a leisurely look and paid no notice to this. He just said coolly, "Lord Patriarch, somebody doesn''t wish for your beloved son to resurrect!"


    Patriarch''s originally lifeless eyes were abruptly shocked awake when he heard these words. He hurriedly said, "All stop for me!"


    Patriarch stood up unexpectedly and came before Ye Yuan, asking with an oppressive aura, "Is Little Yang really not dead?"


    When Lan Feng saw the situation, he quickly wanted to block in front of Ye Yuan but was stopped by the latter.


    "Not dead," Ye Yuan was not affected in the slightest bit and said indifferently.


    "Fine! You give it a shot! But if I discover that you''re using Little Yang for a joke, you know the consequences!" When the patriarch reached the latter part of his sentence, killing intent seethed.


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, Ye Yuan patted the patriarch''s shoulders and said casually, "Oh relax. I won''t wreck my own signboard."


    This sort of thing like joking with the patriarch''s son, nobody dared to laugh!


    Everyone felt that Ye Yuan went insane. Provoking the patriarch like this, was he really complaining that he had lived for too long?


    Li Yang was clearly a dead person already. How could he possibly revive? Could it be that so many elders could not even tell a person''s life and death?


    Especially Li Hon, seeing Ye Yuan pat the patriarch''s shoulder, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.


    This was their lord patriarch! A peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm existence! If he slapped a palm down, Ye Yuan would be smacked into minced paste.


    Li Hong had perceived Li Yang''s body long ago. It was simply without any vital energy. How could he possibly revive?


    He pulled on Ye Yuan''s sleeve desperately. But Ye Yuan directly ignored him.


    These people naturally could not hear that Ye Yuan was guaranteeing in the name of his Alchemy Emperor reputation!


    Nothing was more dependable than such a guarantee!


    Under everyone''s gaze, Ye Yuan leisurely went beside the coffin. Li Yang was lying inside with a peaceful look currently as if he was asleep.


    From his aura, one could sense that he was a Half-Step Sea Transformation Realm expert before his death.


    Li Yang''s age should be more or less around Mo Yuntian''s. But he already had half a foot into Sea Transformation Realm. Indeed a rarely seen genius. It was also no wonder that Li Hong was so devoted to him.


    Ye Yuan breathed in deeply and shut his eyes.


    "Looking at this young man''s confident look, Young Patriarch wouldn''t really be able to revive from the dead, right?"


    "What nonsense are you saying?! Young Patriarch''s breathing has already ceased; utterly without any vital energy. How can he possibly rise from the dead?"


    "But . . ."


    "But what? This punk is clearly kicking up a cloud of dust! I also don''t know where this wild boy came from, to actually boast so shamelessly and profane Young Patriarch''s remains!"


    Towards Ye Yuan''s words, the Cloud Prancing Tribe''s members all scoffed with upturned noses.


    Li Yan looked Li Hong''s sleeves and said softly, "Young Master Ji, he . . ."


    Li Hong heaved a sigh and said, "Sigh, I also don''t know what to do. Wait and see I guess."


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s eyes opened. A hand lightly smacked the coffin. Li Yang''s corpse stood up straight as a ramrod.


    Ye Yuan rose into the air, both hands swiftly prodded on Li yang''s various acupoints!


    With each jab, pale yellow essence energy would be sent into Li Yang''s acupoint, looking extremely dazzling.


    Except, Li Yang''s body did not react at all. Everyone could not sense his vital energy either.


    After a hundred breaths, Ye Yuan circled around in the air and arrived behind Li Yang, smacking a palm down viciously!


    Only to hear a spray. A mouthful of black blood spewed out of Li Yang''s mouth!


    Then, he fell back down into his coffin stiffly.


    Everyone held their breaths . . .

 357 Put Them All in a Bad Mood!

    "How is it? How is it? Did Young Patriarch wake up?"


    "No. I still don''t sense his life force! Look at this boy putting on such airs, he isn''t messing with us, right?"


    "Sigh! Young Patriarch was a good person, and his cultivation was powerful too. He was the indisputable choice for the next patriarch! Although I know that it''s impossible, I still hoped that this boy could bring him back to life. Looks like . . ."


    "Yeah! Truly heaven is envious of gifted talents! A favored child of heaven like Young Patriarch actually died young!"


    The clansmen were all discussing fervently. But most people would rather think that their own thoughts were wrong and hope that Ye Yuan could really revive Li Yang.


    One can tell from their clamors of comments that Li Yang''s relationship with people in the Cloud Prancing Tribe was really very good.


    It was just that looking at the vital energy in Li Yang''s body, Ye Yuan was indeed still deceiving everyone!


    The elderly man that was bickering with Ye Yuan previously was precisely Master Dao Yuan. He also secretly broke into a sweat earlier. After all, Ye Yuan''s ''acting'' was too authentic. It even frightened a master like this.


    Now, seeing that it was a false alarm, Master Dao Yuan hated Ye Yuan even more.


    When the vice-patriarch saw the situation, he looked at Ye Yuan with an icy smile and said, "Boy, what do you still have to say now? Little Yang has already passed away, and you actually profaned his remains. Truly the most atrocious of crimes!"


    The patriarch''s eyes looked straight at Ye Yuan, his entire body trembling. Anyone could tell his fury at this time.


    "Boy, you''re courting death!" The patriarch gritted his teeth as he spat each word out slowly.


    He was already bristling with rage!


    His son died, and the corpse still had to be fiddled by Ye Yuan for so long. Whoever encountered this sort of matter would also go nuts!


    The patriarch walked towards Ye Yuan one step at a time. With each step he took, his aura would rise a level!


    Lan Feng''s expression was also grim when he saw the situation. Facing a Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm with his strength was also the outcome of certain death.


    But even if he died, he could not allow Ye Yuan to suffer any harm at all!


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan who patted his hands with a very exhausted look. He was unperturbed by the patriarch''s fury as if the target of the patriarch''s wrath was not him.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, the patriarch was even more furious. His figure vanished suddenly. A palm with an irresistible force arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Cough, cough . . ."


    Right at this moment, a bout of intense coughing sounded from inside the coffin. The patriarch shuddered and halted this palm!


    And right then, his palm was only a distance of three inches away from Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan remained calm without batting an eyelid and said coolly to the patriarch, "Li Yang is awake. Aren''t you going to go say hi to him?"


    The patriarch was stupefied. Only now did he suddenly woke up to the reality of what had happened. He hurriedly sidestepped Ye Yuan and ran to Li Yang''s side.


    With this look, the patriarch''s tears involuntarily flowed down his old face. Li Yang, he . . . actually woke up!


    Li yang struggled a little to open both eyes. The scenery before him went from fuzzy to clear.


    "F-Father?" Li Yang called out feebly.


    "L-Little Yan . . . you really . . . you really woke up! Father . . . Father thought that I could never see you again!"


    At this moment, the patriarch felt that the entire world had returned!


    The feeling of losing a beloved child and finding him again was really stupendous!


    While on the other side, Li Hong''s entire being was dead tired when he saw that Ye Yuan was fine.


    That instant when Patriarch''s palm fell, he really even had the thought of dying. Li yang died because he did not arrive in time. Now, Ye Yuan also died because of him. Li Hong really felt like that there was no more need for him to live in this world!


    When Patriarch left to go over to his son, Li Hong hurriedly ran to Ye Yuan. "Young Master Ji, a-a-are . . . you okay?"


    Li Hong''s nervousness still had yet to fade away until now. He was stammering as he spoke.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "He didn''t get to hit me either. I''m fine."


    Only after getting an affirmative answer from Ye Yuan did Li Hong really set his mind at east. "Then that''s good! That''s good! If any mishap were to happen to you, I really wouldn''t know what to do. Ah, yes! What kind of magic did you cast, to actually revive Li Yan from the dead?!"


    Ye Yuan said huffily, "Revive my *ss! He wasn''t dead from the start. I just helped him to open up his blocked meridians to let him take a breath!"


    "Di-Didn''t die? How''s that possible? Even Master Dao Yuan, Patriarch, and Vice-Patriarch, all confirmed that Li Yang already died. I also really couldn''t sense his vital energy anymore. How was he possibly not dead?" Li Hong asked in confusion.


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "Even if I tell you, you won''t understand either. Humans are born with qi. Looking at whether a person is dead or not, you can''t just look at vital signs and his breathing. You still have to gaze at qi! Li Yang just died yesterday, and his qi was not cut off yet so it wasn''t considered genuine death. Any later, then even I would be powerless."


    Li Hong had a mystified look. He completely could not understand what Ye Yuan was saying.


    He grew up so big and had never heard of what was called ''qi'' before. He knew vital energy, but that was clearly an entirely different concept from the qi Ye Yuan said.


    It was also normal that Li Hong did not know. Because this talk of ''gazing at qi,'' it was simply impossible for the Lower Realms to know!


    Only alchemists with extremely high accomplishments and also cultivated related divine soul mystic arts could see qi.


    To alchemists, death was not by looking at vital energy, breathing, heartbeat, these things, but to look at qi.


    When Ye Yuan came in, he saw that some faint qi still existed on Li Yang''s body and knew that there was still hope of revival.


    And the finger technique that he just executed was called Tempered Profound Gold Finger; much higher end than that whatever Profound Phantom Finger that Wan Donghai displayed back then.


    Ye Yuan once used this set of finger technique to save innumerable people, and today, a Li Yang was added to it.


    This set of finger technique had a total of nine levels, corresponding respectively to the nine major realms. Ye Yuan was already Second Level Crystal Formation Realm currently. Displaying the third level of this finger technique was not overly strenuous.


    "Then . . . Li Yang will get well very soon, right?" Li Hong asked very ignorantly.


    Originally, he thought that he would get a definitive answer. Who knew that Ye Yuan would shake his head and say, "Well? Still early! I only helped him to tidy up his obstructed meridians. But that can only treat the symptoms, not the root. In a couple of days, he will still die!"


    "Ah! Then . . . Then what can we do?" Li Hong exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan said grumpily, "What can we do? Too bad! What has Li Yang''s life and death got the hell to do with me?! I was just in a bad mood looking at those few old men, so I put them all in a bad mood too!"


    Coincidentally, the patriarch also heard Ye Yuan''s words. He hurriedly supported Li Yang out of the coffin and arrived before Ye Yuan to give a deep bow, saying with an apologetic look, "Little Brother, this old man had a moment of rashness just now and almost hurt Little Brother. I really deserve death! This old man apologizes to Little Brother for this offense. I hope that Little Brother is magnanimous enough to forgive!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Was that you trying to hurt me? If your son didn''t cough a couple of times, I would have already croaked on the spot and accompanied your son in death, right?"


    The patriarch''s face went red. But he was someone who had experienced strong winds and big waves before. He hastily said, "It''s all this old man''s fault, it''s all this old man''s fault! Little Brother, on account of this old man being overly anxious about my beloved son, overlook this, alright?"

 358 Giving Advice

    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Not going to quibble with you."


    Without waiting for the patriarch to heave a sigh of relief, Ye Yuan said unhurriedly, "But . . ."


    Patriarch swallowed his saliva and carefully followed up, "But what, Little Brother?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes looked towards Master Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan with ill-intention and said with a grin, "But I want to nitpick with them!"


    When Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan heard Ye Yuan''s words, their expressions changed!


    The patriarch hurriedly said, "Little Brother, just now, it''s all us who have eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai! Why don''t a great man like you not stoop to harbor grievance for past wrongs? Master Dao Yuan and Elder Zhu Shan also did it with Li Yang in mind; that''s why they stopped you from touching him. How about this, whatever request you have, just state them, Little Brother. As long as our Cloud Prancing Tribe can take it out, we absolutely won''t say no!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes glimmered for a while, then he flashed a brilliant smile at the two people and said, "Since the two elders did it for Li Yan, then me pursuing it appears somewhat petty. Alright then, I''ll treat the incident earlier as if it never happened."


    Hearing that this Little Ancestor finally got over it, the patriarch also heaved a long sigh in relief. If Ye Yuan really quibbled over it, he also did not know what he should do.


    Ye Yuan''s words earlier were still ringing in his ears. If he offended this Little Ancestor and he washed his hands of this matter, then this son of his would be lost again after getting him back.


    With such a torment, he probably would not have many good years left.


    "Alright then, since Little Yang is fine, everybody, disperse! Quickly take down these white silk and the mourning hall; inauspicious!" the patriarch commanded.


    . . . . . .


    In the bedchambers, Li Yang laid on the bed sickly, unable to even speak. Ye Yuan was currently reading his pulse.


    After a long time, Ye Yuan removed his hand and stood up. Patriarch Li Teng hastily chased after and enquired cautiously, "Young Master Ji, Little Yang, he . . . What illness did he has?"


    "Not sick!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Li Teng said with a bitter face, "Young Master Ji, earlier was indeed this old man''s fault . . ."


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and interrupted his words, saying, "Li Yang is really not sick. He was poisoned!"


    "P-Poisoned?"


    Astonishment was written all over Li Teng''s face. Li Yang''s condition looked like he was sick from every angle. How could it be poison?


    "Don''t believe?"


    "W-Where did that come from? Young Master Ji''s words, this old man naturally believes it!"


    "But disbelief is written all over your face."


    ". . . . . ."


    Ye Yuan said, "The poison he''s inflicted with is called Mind Loss Powder. It''s colorless and tasteless. Even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles can''t detect it. Spirit artifact rank Profound Silver Needles . . . I reckon that you guys don''t have it, right?"


    "This . . ." Li Teng sucked in a cold breath when he heard it. A poison that even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles could not detect. That was exceptionally powerful.


    "Actually, when I bumped into Li Hong and the rest and heard them talk about Li Yang''s symptoms, I had some guesses. But diagnosing him earlier confirmed my conjectures. Mind Loss Powder doesn''t have any obvious symptoms after being inflicted by it. It''s just that one''s actions would become rather peculiar. And the flare-up duration is also roughly around a month. It''s an extremely powerful poison," Ye Yuan said.


    "Then . . . does this Mind Loss Powder have a cure?" Li Teng asked tremblingly.


    "There naturally is. It''s just that . . . I don''t seem to have a need to give it to you, right?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Li Teng was stunned when he heard this. But he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.


    He could also tell that Ye Yuan was indeed someone with abilities. It was just that the way he behaved was too arrogant.


    Even if he had offended Ye Yuan previously, he was, at any rate, a Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm existence. This brat actually did not give any face at all.


    To Li Teng who held a high position, he could not accept this sort of humiliation.


    If it were not for Li Yang, he would most likely have fallen out long ago.


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan seemed to have long seen through his displeasure and said with a smile, "Whatever you''re upset by, say it out. Don''t keep it in your heart. Later, the elderly one falls ill before the young one recovers. Those people would be overflowing with joy in their hearts."


    Li Hong was at the side the whole time and did not dare to make a sound. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words at this time, he finally could not resist urging, "Young Master Ji, you should say a little lesser."


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to speak! You blockhead, playing what expressing your will through death! Do you know that if you had died, you''d have played right into other people''s hands? If you died, not only would there be nobody who pities you, others would even stomp a few times on top of your corpse and spit twice!"


    Li Hong was a steadfast person and would not say anything to Ye Yuan''s words. But Li Teng completely erupted at this time!


    "You, this Junior, really don''t know what''s good for you! Do you really think that without you, the earth won''t rotate anymore? I''m grateful to you for saving Little Yang, but aren''t you going a little too overboard by acting so tyrannically?" Li Teng said furiously.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Old man, good advice is an unpleasant medicine! If not on account of Li Hong''s face, I wouldn''t even be bothered to care about these lousy matters in your tribe! Wait until you, father and son, get harmed and killed by others, you can then go to the underworld to reunite!"


    Li Teng snorted coldly and said, "Exaggerating things to scare people!"


    But Li Hong finally understood a little and quickly asked, "Young Master Ji, your meaning is . . ."


    Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Don''t you feel that the entire incident is very fishy?"


    "Ah? Not at all! Our tribe has always been harmonious. Patriarch and Vice-Patriarch, the two of them have several hundred years of friendship. Us junior generation also have a very good relationship! Young Master Ji, aren''t you . . . overthinking things?" Li Hong asked warily.


    Ye Yuan had an exasperated look like he failed to live up to expectations and said, "You being loyal to people is being loyal, but you''re too dumb! Think it over properly, why did your young patriarch get poisoned out of the blue? Why were you sent to the most dangerous place to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng? And does your family''s patriarch look much older than before you set off? Additionally, who was the one holding the authority over the tribe these few days? Start using your brain and think properly! Perhaps your family''s patriarch was close comrade-in-arms with the vice-patriarch formerly. But now . . . hehe."


    When Ye Yuan''s words were said finish, Li Teng and Li Hong ruminated over it.


    Li Hong said weakly, "You mean to say that Elder Dao Yuan deliberately made me unable to rush back in time?"


    Ye Yuan snickered and said, "At least you''re not too stupid!"


    "But . . . we calculated the travel route prior to this. How did he know that I won''t make it back in time?" Li Hong said perplexedly.


    "That''s too easy! The Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng is a prerequisite item for the Crimson Tailed Scorpion''s advancement. He just has to know beforehand that there is a Crimson Tailed Scorpion over there about to advance, then send you guys over. Can you all still make it back?" Ye Yuan said.


    Li Hong sucked in a cold breath. But he still felt that this was too unbelievable. "But the Cloud Prancing Tribe is flourishing with each passing day right now. If the young patriarch can advance to the Soul Sea Realm, we would become even more overpowering. Why did they do this?"


    "Because that way, they would have even less of a chance!"


    The one who spoke was not Ye Yuan, but it was Li Teng who had been keeping silent the entire time.

 359 Paying Back in His Own Coin

    Within Zhu Yun Manor''s hidden room, Vice-Patriarch Zhu Yun''s eyebrows were locked tightly, appearing very somber.


    "Oh, Dao Yuan, where did this boy come from? How can he have such capabilities? That Li Yang was clearly already dead. How can he possibly have resurrected?" Zhu Yun opened his mouth to ask.


    Master Dao Yuan similarly had knitted brows and was very gloomy. "That boy''s finger technique is unbelievably profound. It''s indeed rather odd! But . . . he only opened up the obstructed meridians in Li Yang''s body and let him revive for the time being. My Mind Loss Powder is incurable. Li Yang can last for at most another two days. He still has to die!"


    Zhu Yun''s eyebrows raised up. "Dao Yuan, is what you said true?"


    "Of course it''s true! Mind Loss Powder is colorless and tasteless, a type of poison that paralyzes a martial artist''s nerves. It''s simply incurable! I made Li Hong and the others go seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng just to find a scapegoat to help you all clear away some obstacles! In fact, what antidote is there?" Dao Yuan said, brimming with confidence.


    "Then that''s good, that''s good! As long as Li Yang dies, the title of number one genius in the tribe will fall on Little Tian''s head. The next patriarch will incontestably be him!" Zhu Yun let out a sigh in relief.


    Zhu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "It''s all that damn punk. Otherwise, our plan would have already succeeded. Now, many unexpected complications cropped up! After Li Yang dies, I must think of a way to kill him!"


    Dao Yuan immediately concurred, saying, "That''s right! That boy is sinister as hell. He mustn''t be kept! We have to think of a way to kill him!"


    Being threatened by a junior, Zhu Shan and Dao Yuan were both filled with pent-up anger. Furthermore, their plan was originally flawless but was ruined by Ye Yuan. How could this not infuriate them?


    Zhu Yun clearly did not have much of a favorable impression of Ye Yuan too. He said indifferently, "Relax. As long as Li Yang dies, Li Teng would completely not be in the mood to bother with tribe matters. At that time, wanting to deal with a brat, wouldn''t it be effortless?"


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The secret room''s door was knocked on violently.


    Zhu Yun''s brows furrowed, appearing rather annoyed.


    "Little Tian, this boy, is always so quick-tempered. How will he take on great responsibilities in the future?"


    As he spoke, Zhu Yun causally fired out a blast of essence energy. The secret room''s door opened on its own.


    The moment the door opened, a fretful looking Zhu Tian barged inside. "Father, disaster is imminent!"


    Zhu Yun said impatiently, "Talk slowly, what''s the hurry? The sky hasn''t fallen yet!"


    Zhu Tian said anxiously, "The sky has already fallen! Li Yang, he . . . he . . ."


    Zhu Yun frowned and said, "What about Li Yang? He died?"


    "Aiya! Li Yang didn''t die! He was saved by that punk!"


    "WHAT?!"


    "Li Yang was brought back to life by that punk!"


    Zhu Tian repeated again. Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan stood up.


    "How is that possible?! My Mind Loss Powder is absolutely foolproof! Even I don''t have the antidote. Where did they get the antidote? This is impossible!" Dao Yuan said incredulously.


    "What do you mean no antidote?! There''s news from over there that Li Yang has already completely recovered! Now, they are all praising Ji Qing that punk the miracle hand of god over there; a living divine doctor!"


    Zhu Tian was full of indignation. The young patriarch position that reached his hands was going to be handed over so quickly. How could he not be depressed?


    Zhu Yun did not speak. His eyebrows locked tightly as he paced around inside the room.


    After some time, he suddenly looked at Zhu Tian with shining eyes and asked, "You said just now that news came from over there. Is it not confirmed yet?"


    "It was said by the undercover that we arranged inside the Patriarch Manor. The news can''t be wrong!" Zhu Tian said.


    "Then, did he see Li Yang?" Zhu Yun pressed on.


    "Uh, that''s a no! But he said that he saw that after Li Teng and Li Hong walked out of Li Yang''s room, they were grinning from ear to ear. Following that, this news was announced. It shouldn''t be wrong! Now, Li Teng regards Ji Qing as a distinguished guest and nearly praised him to the skies! Looking at the momentum, it''s about to surpass Master Dao Yuan!"


    Zhu Yun did not say any more but exchanged a look with Dao Yuan and asked, "How do you see it, Dao Yuan?"


    Dao Yuan was originally very nervous too. But hearing Zhu Tian''s words, he relaxed.


    "In my view, Li Yang wasn''t revived at all! How can the poison of the Mind Loss Powder be so easy to resolve? Even if that child started learning the alchemic path in his mother''s womb, it''s also not possible to have the ability to resolve the Mind Loss Powder poison. If Li Yang is really fine, Li Teng should be taking care of him at this time, not entertaining Ji Qing with great fanfare! But . . . Li Teng might have already detected our affairs!" Dao Yuan said.


    Zhu Yun nodded and said with a sigh, "I was his assistant for so many years. Already reached this extent and he''s still unwilling to let go! Him doing this is forcing me to take action!"


    Zhu Tian was at a loss listening by the side. He totally did not know what these two were talking about.


    "Heh heh, he''s the one forcing us! Originally, I didn''t plan on taking action this early either. But since it already reached such an extent, the first to strike naturally has the advantage! Moreover, we have already been preparing for several years. How can he arrange anything appropriate in a short duration of time?" Zhu Shan said with burning eagerness.


    "Uh, Father, what are you all talking about? Are you going to make a move?" Zhu Tian had a baffled look.


    Zhu Yun looked at this son and did not know what he should say either.


    Zhu Tian was indeed preceded by Li Yang in terms of martial strength. But in terms of wits and stratagem, Li Yang tossed him several streets behind!


    Zhu Yun could only control his impatience and explained, "Li Yang wasn''t resuscitated at all! In fact, he''s already dead! The reason why Li Teng is entertaining Ye Yuan with such a great fanfare is because he became aware of our intentions and wants to soothe us first, and to make us not dare to take reckless actions so that he can arrange for a backup plan to deal with us!"


    Only then did Zhu Tian come to a realization. He said excitedly, "Turns out that Li Yang is dead already! Haha! From now onwards, I''m the number one person in the Cloud Prancing Tribe''s junior generation!"


    But Zhu Yun ignored him and said to Zhu Shan, "Gather all of our men. Tonight, at midnight, we''ll sneak into the Patriarch Manor silently and utterly crumble Li Teng''s forces!"


    "Yes!" Zhu Shan accepted the order and left.


    . . . . . .


    Midnight, a group of experts silently sneaked into the Patriarch Manor.


    Zhu Yun and Li Teng, the two of them established the Cloud Prancing Tribe together. Zhu Yun might even be more familiar with the Patriarch Manor than his own home.


    In terms of martial strength, Zhu Yun and Li Teng, the two of them were around the same; they were both at the Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    But tonight, Zhu Yun brought a number of experts forth. Just the Sea Transformation Realms had four people!


    Five versus one. With a sneak attack, he, Zhu Yun, could not possibly lose.


    As long as he took down Li Teng, the Cloud Prancing Tribe would naturally fall into his hands.


    The group of people sneakily entered the courtyard and started to creep towards Li Teng''s residence quietly.


    But as they walked, they discovered something off.


    Zhu Yun discovered that they had already walked for a very long period of time. Why was it still so far away from Li Teng''s residence?


    Zhu Yun turned back around and could not help being greatly startled. The few people that he brought here were all missing!


    "Sh*t! We walked into a trap!" Zhu Yun felt that things were bad.


    But right at this moment, Patriarch Manor suddenly became brightly lit. A large group of people appeared in front of him!


    "Lord Vice-Patriarch, why aren''t you sleeping at home late at night but come here to wander around instead?" Ye Yuan asked Zhu Yun with a grin on his face.

 360 Lesser Confounding Formation!

    Zhu Yun''s expression changed. He saw one familiar face after another.


    Li Teng, Li Hong, Li Min, so on and so forth. Of course, there was Ye Yuan.


    When his gaze landed on Li Yang''s body, it involuntarily shrunk! Ji Qing that punk really cured Li Yang!


    Also, no clue whether Ye Yuan did it deliberately or not, but he stood at the forefront; a certain distance away from the rest.


    Zhu Yun originally already despaired. But seeing this, he was secretly thrilled.


    "Seeking death!"


    Zhu Yun erupted suddenly and clawed at Ye Yuan''s throat. He wanted to hold Ye Yuan hostage!


    But when he arrived in front of Ye Yuan, he immediately felt that things were not good. It was as if Ye Yuan did not see him. He actually did not evade or dodge!


    There was a blur in front of Zhu Yun''s eye. He actually passed directly through Ye Yuan''s body and could not help being greatly alarmed!


    "Lord Vice-Patriarch is really composed in the hour of peril. To actually still think of taking me hostage. However . . . you won''t have the opportunity." Ye Yuan still stood at his original spot as he looked at Zhu Yun with a wide smile.


    How could the grand array that Ye Yuan spent a full day to set up be easily broken by Zhu Yun?


    To be able to make Ye Yuan spend an entire day to lay it out, the power of this grand array could be imagined.


    This array formation was born out of none other than precisely Lu Linfeng''s Asura Confounding Array!


    Ye Yuan called it, Lesser Confounding Formation!


    Although the name sounded very ordinary, its power was remarkably terrifying!


    The complete Asura Confounding Array was an illusionary killing formation. Forget about Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, even if the Fierce Gale World''s Wind Emperor, a Boundless Realm powerhouse, entered within, it would also be certain death!


    Back then, if the Grand Yan True Sect''s sect master could comprehend this set of array formation, he completely would not need to sacrifice the entire sect to protect the Endless World. He could directly use this grand array to trap the Fierce Gale World''s Wind Emperor to death!


    Although Ye Yuan comprehended this set of array formation, he could not even unleash 0.1% of its power.


    Hence, he blazed out a new trail, stripping away the illusion formation within this set of array formation and lowered the difficulty; that was this Lesser Confounding Formation before their eyes!


    Even so, this also took Ye Yuan one full day!


    Looking at it now, the effects were rather decent. The Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm Zhu Yun trapped within could not figure out the direction at all.


    This array formation did not have the effect of killing people. It was just a pure trapping formation. But wanting to come out was as hard as ascending to heaven!


    The terrifying aspect of this Lesser Confounding Array laid here: I stood right in front of you, but you could not see me!


    Zhu Yun gnashed his teeth hatefully and roared, "Stinking brat! I''ll kill you!"


    Zhu Yun pounced at Ye Yuan desperately. But Ye Yuan was like the moon reflected on the water; he was completely unable to touch Ye Yuan!


    The current Zhu Yun was just like a monkey being teased.


    "Stop wasting strength. You can''t hit me," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    After flopping around for a long time, Zhu Yun himself was dead exhausted. But he did not even touch Ye Yuan''s clothes and was unbelievably disheartened.


    At this time, Li Teng slowly walked out, came in front Zhu Yun, and said, "Sigh . . . old chap, why did you do this?!"


    Zhu Yun looked at Li Teng, his state like he was insane as he said, "Hahaha! Li Teng! Are you pitying me now with the attitude with a winner? I don''t need it!"


    Li Teng sighed again and said, "Old partner, the two of us have teamed up for several hundred years. How many trials and hardships have we experienced together? How many times have we braved untold danger? So many years of feelings, did you forget them all?"


    "Don''t give me that crap! Li Teng, you still have the nerve to say this to me! In terms of contribution to the Cloud Prancing Tribe, how am I, Zhu Yun, inferior to you in any way? Why is it that you can be the patriarch, while I can only listen to your commands by the side?"


    Li Teng shook his head and said, "If you wanted this patriarch position, you could have just told me. Why did you have to lay hands on Little Yang? You know that he is my lifeblood, but you resorted to such vicious means to your nephew! If not because Little Hong was fortunate enough to bring back Young Master Ji, Little Yang would have already been killed by you! You watched him grow up! How could you bear to do it?!"


    "Humph! Why? You suppressed me my entire life. Could it be that I even have to let my son be suppressed by your son his entire life? I don''t need to be the patriarch, but I cannot tolerate my son being beneath others too!" Zhu Yun bellowed.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan interjected, "That son of yours has great ambition but little talent, and lack morals and character. Wouldn''t let him be the patriarch be bringing the entire tribe towards the abyss? People can be selfish, but don''t tie others onto your selfishness! The other people in the tribe are innocent. Why should they be buried with the dead for your selfishness?"


    Ye Yuan''s words struck Zhu Yun''s sore spot. He howled at Ye Yuan, "Who do you think you are?! To dare come and lecture me?!"


    Slap!


    A crisp sound echoed!


    Zhu Yun''s face took the blow solidly!


    Although Ye Yuan''s slap was no different from scratching an itch to him, that sort of humiliation was even clearer than the sensation from the body.


    "Such a smelly mouth!" Ye Yuan said icily.


    "ARGH! I''m going to kill you, boy!" Zhu Yun howled at the skies.


    But it was all futile. He simply could not hit Ye Yuan.


    "Old Man Patriarch, finish him off. This fellow is unrepentant. There''s nothing much to be attached to," Ye Yuan said apathetically.


    But Li Teng furrowed his brows at this time, appearing to be hesitating.


    "Indecision invariably leads to trouble. Leaving this kind of person, apart from bringing your tribe towards decline, there''s no use at all!" Ye Yuan said.


    Li Teng mused for a long while. Sucking in a deep breath, he slowly walked towards Zhu Yun . . .


    . . . . . .


    Inside the Patriarch Manor''s inner hall, Li Teng brought Li Yang to give Ye Yuan a deep bow.


    "Many thanks for Young Master Ji''s great kindness! If not for Young Master Ji, us father and son would probably have met with an unexpected calamity!" Li Teng said.


    In his speech, Li Teng was filled with respect towards Ye Yuan.


    Disregarding other things, just that incomparably profound array formation filled Li Teng with endless dread.


    Zhu Yun and his strength did not have a very large difference. If without the Lesser Confounding Array, blood would surely flow in the Cloud Prancing Tribe like rivers this time.


    Now, to be able to resolve the infighting with unstained swords, it was naturally a happy ending.


    "Many thanks for Young Master Ji''s grace of resurrection! Speaking of which, our Li Family''s disciples, from top to bottom, owes Young Master Ji far too much! It truly makes Li Yang petrified!" Li Yang followed up.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said with a smile, "You all don''t need to thank me. If you want to thank, then thank Li Hong. Initially, I was disinclined to bother with this side business of yours. But that boy is very silly and very naive, which stirred my sympathetic heart."


    As a matter of fact, Li Hong was much older than Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan calling him boy actually had no unaccustomedness whatsoever.


    "Sigh! My Cloud Prancing Tribe''s lives from top to bottom were all saved by Young Master Ji. In future, as long as Young Master Ji has any instructions, our Cloud Prancing Tribe will definitely not hesitate to lay down our lives if need be!" Li Yang said.


    One had to acknowledge that this Li Yang was much stronger than Zhu Tian. When talking, he gave people a spring breeze-like feel. It was also no wonder that he could subdue the hearts of the Cloud Prancing Tribe''s junior generation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and waved his hands, saying, "There isn''t a need to lay down your lives. You just have to lend me the transmission array to use. I''m in a bit of a hurry so I won''t delay. Let''s depart now."

 361 Martial Competition to Find a Spouse

    The passageway between the two worlds was already at a state of heightened nervousness. There were constantly people patrolling.


    Lan Yu brought Lan Hu along and were currently making their rounds when Lan Yu suddenly said, "It''s been so many since Lan Bao left, but there''s no news. I''m a little worried."


    Lan Hu was taken aback and said, "No way, right? Big Brother Lan Bao''s strength is extremely great. How can he possibly lose to a brat that just broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm?"


    "I also don''t feel that it''s very likely. But if he dealt with that Ye Yuan, he should have returned long ago!" Lan Yu said with a frown.


    "Or maybe he was delayed by some matter along the way."


    Lan Yu shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be treated lightly! We''d better send people to the Central Capital to warn Lord Wind Emperor. I reckon that Lord Patriarch should have already brought the advance party over. That batch of slaves is most likely already sold off. Lan Hu, I''ll have to trouble you to make this trip."


    Lan Hu mused a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay. What should I say when I see Lord Wind Emperor?"


    "Tell the truth! But, you have to let Lord Wind Emperor know the formidability of this boy. With Lord Wind Emperor''s wisdom, catching a puny little Crystal Formation Realm is naturally nothing much!"


    "Fine. Then, I''ll depart right away!" Lan Hu did not drag either and left as he spoke.


    . . . . . .


    Wind Raising City.


    It was one of the four great cities surrounding and protecting the Central Capital!


    After entering the Level One region, there would be many cities that existed.


    Each city would have wind expelling formations. Martial artists living in the cities was not too different from the Endless World. It was just that inside the city, an inch of earth, an inch of gold. Ordinary martial artists simply could not bear the costs inside the city.


    The final destination of all the transmission arrays in the peripheral was these four great cities.


    Inside a restaurant in the Wind Raising City, a young man was currently eating while listening to the conversations of the surrounding martial artists.


    "Have you all heard? After four thousand years, the realm passageway between our Fierce Gale World and Endless World finally opened up!" A middle-aged martial artist flaunted this news to his companions.


    Indeed, once he said that, it immediately aroused everyone''s interest. "Endless World? What kind of place is that?"


    "Stupid! Since it''s called a world, it''s naturally a small world like our Fierce Gale World!"


    "Ah! It''s actually this case! Doesn''t that mean that we no longer need to live in this wind and sand anymore in the future?"


    "Hehe, that''s of course! Lord Wind Emperor allegedly already deployed forces to prepare to invade the Endless World en masse! At that time, not only do we no longer need to live in this wind and sand, we can enjoy limitless beauties and essence crystals!" The middle-aged man was already fantasizing about the beautiful life.


    "How do you know this news? Is it reliable?"


    "Absolutely trustworthy! My elder brother is a guard in the Central Capital''s Xiao Family. Two days ago, he just happened to come to Wind Raising City to settle some business and told me this news. Definitely won''t be wrong! My brother said that the Xiao Family even bought two Endless World slaves. Each one of them looked so delicate and tender; much better looking than our Fierce Gale World''s people!" The middle-aged martial artist bragged.


    Hearing these words, the eyes of the youth eating at one side involuntarily flickered.


    This youth was precisely Ye Yuan who had just entered the city not long ago!


    After leaving the Cloud Prancing Tribe, Ye Yuan and Lan Feng transited midway once more and had just arrived at Wind Raising City yesterday.


    Ye Yuan knew that teahouses were places where information converged. Hence, he came today to see if he could hear some news relating to Mei Zhen and the rest. To think that he really heard some juicy details.


    It was just that this bit of news was still too little of value to Ye Yuan.


    Approaching the capital, it was inconvenient for Ye Yuan to bring Lan Feng around. By any chance that there were Lan Family members who had not left and they discovered it, the problem would be huge.


    Ye Yuan savored a sip of tea and was somewhat gloomy.


    Experts roamed like clouds in this Central Capital. Wanting to rescue his fellow apprentices was really as hard as ascending to heaven!


    But for the Wind Emperor to launch a war between two worlds, he was bound to transfer large numbers of experts out. This was an opportunity to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was presently being dejected by himself when the people at that table conversed again.


    "Speaking of the Xiao Family, have you heard? The Xiao Family''s little princess, Xiao Ruyan, is about to hold a martial competition to find a husband. Our Wind Raising City has a registration venue. I heard that Xiao Ruyan is beautiful like a heavenly fairy. If I can get close to her, I can really even die willingly!" The middle-aged man had an idiotic look.


    "Save it! Their family''s martial competition to find a spouse, the first requirement is to be under the age of 30. You''re already out!" Another person dealt a blow.


    "Sigh, you''re not fun at all! I heard my brother say that he once saw Miss Xiao Ruyan and was immediately awestruck by her fairy-like looks! A beauty like that, don''t you wish to?"


    "Rubbish. Who doesn''t like beautiful women? But they and we are people from completely different worlds. It''s best to not have these rotten ideas. Either way, I''ll also join in the fun when the time comes!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly moved closer and asked, "This Elder Brother, such a formidable family like the Xiao Family, why would their own missus have to hold a martial competition to find a spouse?"


    That middle-aged martial artist shot a glance at Ye Yuan and said disdainfully, "What? Do you also want to join in the fun with this strength? I think you should forget it! Those participating in the spouse finding martial competition at the minimum requires Late-Stage Crystal Formation Realm strength. You, this Second Level Crystal Formation Realm, once you go up, you''ll be beaten to death by others right away."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Haha, Elder Brother is mistaken. This Younger Brother is from out of town and doesn''t know much about the capital''s matters. So I want to understand more. It also counts as seeing the world."


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan fished out a middle-grade essence crystal and stuffed it into the middle-aged martial artist''s hand.


    That middle-aged martial artist''s brows shot up, and he immediately switched to a smiley face as he said, "Haha, it''s indeed a good thing for young people to see the world more. You asking me also counts as asking the right person! The Xiao Family is just a second-rate family in the capital. In terms of power, they are inferior to the first-rate families, the Huang Family and Xue Family. A year ago, the Huang Family and Xue Family proposed marriage at the same time to the Xiao Family, wishing to marry this Xiao Ruyan. The Xiao Family didn''t dare to offend either one of them. They dragged until now where it really can''t be dragged anymore. So they could only come up with this strategy to organize a spouse finding martial competition. While it''s a spouse finding martial competition, in truth, isn''t it still the struggle between the two Huang and Xue families? How can ordinary martial artists be the two family''s match?''


    Ye Yuan saw the light and said, "Then judging by what elder brother said, didn''t this spouse finding martial competition become ornamental? There shouldn''t be anyone who goes to register, right?"


    "Heh heh, then you guessed wrong! Do you see this street filled with young men? They are all targeting Xiao Ruyan!" The middle-aged martial artist said with a snicker.


    "You don''t understand this, right? Xiao Ruyan is known as one of the two absolutes in the capital. Which man under the heavens doesn''t wish to obtain her beauty? Even if they know that they are just serving as a foil, as long as they are martial artists of the right age, they will chase after like a flock of ducks! Furthermore, for martial artists such as ourselves, once we marry Xiao Ruyan, it will be soaring to the sky with a single move! So, do you think they will participate or not?"

 362 Don’t Reveal One’s Wealth

    "Turns out that there''s still so many stuff to learn!" Ye Yuan had a face like he learned things.


    "Haha. Young man, you just entered the Jianghu. Although your strength is still decent, there are still many things to learn! Otherwise, you''ll even be counting money for people after being sold!" The middle-aged martial artist then chortled.


    Ye Yuan smiled and agreed. He did not feel like arguing. He already obtained all the information he wanted and also had a preliminary understanding of the capital''s faction division.


    Thinking now, this first-rate family should be the top tier major influence in the capital. As for those like the Xiao Family, they might be a level weaker.


    As for the spouse finding martial competition, Ye Yuan naturally did not have plans to participate. He did not wish to marry a woman he did not know.


    Although he knew that he would definitely get first place if he went.


    Martial artists under the age of 30 in the Fierce Gale World were at the very most First Level Sea Transformation Realm. With Ye Yuan''s present strength, it was still more than sufficient to defeat a First Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    Leaving the inn, Ye Yuan did not plan on staying in Wind Raising City any longer and headed directly out of the city in the direction of the capital.


    But before traveling for long, Ye Yuan''s path was obstructed by three martial artists.


    "Hehe, boy, didn''t think that we would meet again so soon, right?" It was precisely the middle-aged martial artist who took Ye Yuan''s middle-grade essence crystal.


    The three people were all Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But seeing that Ye Yuan was alone, evil intent welled up.


    Towards these three fellows, Ye Yuan naturally did not take this to heart. He said nonchalantly, "Yeah. This Elder Brother isn''t thinking of inviting me to drink wine by stopping me here, right?"


    "Hahaha, what is he saying? He said to let me invite him to drink wine? Boy, are you really stupid,or pretending to be dumb? Hand over all the essence crystals and treasures on your body, and I can leave you an intact corpse!" the middle-aged martial artist barked fiercely.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re going to kill me whether I hand them over or not. Why should I give them to you?"


    The middle-aged martial artist was stunned and thought it was true. This sort of threatening words seemed rather stupid when one heard them.


    "Heh heh, fine then. Today, your Grandpa Hao will show mercy and let you off! Quickly hand over all the essence crystals on you!" As he spoke, he extended his hand out and demanded from Ye Yuan.


    "Hur hur, that''s more like it!" Ye Yuan said. As he spoke, Ye Yuan touched his storage ring like he was really going to give them.


    The middle-aged martial artist had a pleased look as he said, "Boy, next time when you go out, make sure to remember the principle of not revealing your wealth. Understood? I already told you in the inn that there are still many things to learn!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Brother must be joking. If I were to learn like you, wouldn''t I become dumber as I learn?"


    "En?"


    The middle-aged martial artist was just about to get angry, only to see a blurry figure. A malicious looking silhouette appeared. It was precisely Lan Feng.


    Seeing Lan Feng appear, the three people''s expression changed.


    Three First Level Sea Transformation Realm versus a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm. They did not have the slightest hope of winning!


    Currently, the middle-aged martial artist''s face was as fascinating as you wanted it to be. He said with a wail, "L-Little Brother, we have eyes but can''t recognize Mt. Tai. We were wrong! W-We''ll get lost right away!"


    Lan Feng''s figure moved and blocked their path.


    Ye Yuan said leisurely, "Who permitted you to leave? You all are stupid but don''t think of me to be as dumb as you guys, alright? If you all leave and spread the news that I have a spatial spirit artifact, wouldn''t I be hunted down by everyone in the world?"


    "You . . . What do you want?" said the middle-aged martial artist as he stammered.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing much. This kind of thing like killing and robbing people, you people have done it quite a number of times, right? Just submit today!"


    The middle-aged martial artist''s had a savage look as he said, "Humph! I don''t believe that he can stop the three of us alone! Brothers, split up and move! Anybody that escapes counts! If I die, go to the capital to find my brother to help me take revenge!"


    Finished talking, the three people really fled separately. But Lan Feng''s movements were clearly much swifter than theirs. He held back the other two people the moment he made his move. Only that middle-aged martial artist escaped.


    The middle-aged martial artist could not help being overjoyed when he saw the situation and hastened his footsteps to escape.


    But right at this moment, alarm bells suddenly sounded!


    Only to see a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan actually ran in front of him from god knew when!


    "Y-Y-You, how did you catch up?" The middle-aged martial artist had an expression like he had seen a ghost.


    How could a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm''s speed be so quick?


    "Just caught up like this," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    The middle-aged martial artist gritted his teeth and said, "Seeking death!"


    Finished talking, a palm chopped towards Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan vanished before him just like that.


    "Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!"


    The middle-aged martial artist only heard a cry from behind him. Then he was out cold.


    Ye Yuan grasped the limits very well and did not kill him.


    He came in front of the middle-aged martial artist, released his divine sense, and forcefully plunged into the other party''s sea of consciousness!


    The middle-aged martial artist gave a muffled groan but had his soul searched by Ye Yuan without any resistance.


    Soul search was even more tyrannical than slave seals. After searching the soul, the martial artist''s divine soul would be shredded into fragments and become an idiot.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any intention of going easy. Looking at this middle-aged martial artist''s appearance, he had most likely done quite a few robberies. If he died, then he died. Nothing to feel pity about.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan saw that this fellow had done many bad things from his memories. It was enough to die ten times over.


    "En? His brother actually went to find alchemists. The Xiao Family is soliciting alchemists? Hmm . . . This is my old profession. I can give it a shot. This fellow sending himself to my gates saved me a bout of trouble," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    From the middle-aged martial artist''s memories, Ye Yuan roughly understood the faction distribution in the Central Capital. Although with the middle-aged martial artist''s identity, he did not understand things that were too detailed, this gave Ye Yuan more or less some baseline in his heart.


    The Central Capital''s factions were intricate and complex. But on the whole, they were divided into first-rate families, second-rate families, third-rate families, as well as some small families that did not make the mark.


    Apart from this, there were still some large factions that were not inferior to first-rate families, such as a major merchant like the Treasure Hoarding Tower.


    Of course, the influences that could not be provoked most of all was the military factions!


    The Wind Emperor had three major iron guards. The first was the Swift Wind Guards. The second was the Shadow Wind Guards. The third was the most mysterious Dark Wind Guards.


    But these three major iron guards normally seldom interfere with affairs in the city. They were mostly cultivating.


    Such a colossal framework was truly unbelievably powerful.


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing secretly. When the Fierce Gale World''s cavalry stepped into the Endless World, how could the Endless World withstand them?


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Endless World was not deep as well. Perhaps the Northern Domain also had very powerful factions.


    Either way, if the sky fell, the tall people will support it. He just had to rescue his fellow apprentices and bring them back to the Endless World.


    As for future matters, talk again in the future.


    When Ye Yuan finished dealing with the middle-aged martial artist here, Lan Feng had only just finished taking care of the two people.


    As for these two people, Ye Yuan obviously did not plan on leaving them alive. He directly killed them and burnt them into nothingness with fire.


    A day later, Ye Yuan finally arrived at the Central Capital by himself!

 363 White Light’s Individual Charisma

    Even Ye Yuan was also immensely shocked by the Central Capital''s magnificent atmosphere.


    Looking from afar, this was simply like a desolate ancient giant beast emitting an aura that made people revere and prostate in worship.


    This was the holy land for all the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists!


    Not because there was a city here, but also because this place had a Wind Emperor!


    Boundless Realm powerhouse was a godlike existence in the Fierce Gale World!


    Although Ye Yuan did not have much awe and veneration towards the Wind Emperor, he had to admit that he was an ant-like existence in front of the Wind Emperor.


    When he was about to reach the capital''s gate entrance, Ye Yuan quickly discovered that something was off.


    The martial artists entering the city were actually queueing up in a long, long line; it was more than several miles distance from the city.


    Ye Yuan''s vision was exceedingly good. He noticed that there seemed to be people examining thoroughly at the gate entrance!


    Ye Yuan also joined in the queue. He asked a martial artist softly, "This Elder Brother, this is Younger Brother''s first time coming to the capital. Has the inspection here always been so stringent? If they keep checking like this, we also can''t enter the city by nightfall!"


    That martial artist also had a discontent look as he said, "Sigh, don''t talk about it! How can it be so strict in the past? How many people come and go into the capital every day? Wouldn''t checking one by one tire the city guards to death? But god knows what happened these two days. It suddenly became strict. They say that another world''s spy sneaked inside. Don''t you think that this is nonsense? How much time do people such as us who frequently enter and leave the city have to waste?!"


    That martial artist complained fervently. But when Ye Yuan heard it, he was secretly greatly alarmed.


    Otherworld spy. Didn''t that mean him?


    Could it be . . . the Lan Family Tribe?


    Only the Lan Family Tribe knew that he, this fish that escaped the net, entered the Fierce Gale World. Naturally, only they would inform the capital''s side.


    Looking at it now, the news of Lan Bao''s death had already been sent back to the Lan Family Tribe. Otherwise, they would also not have mobilized so many people and specially informed the capital.


    Since the capital already knew that he came, continuing to queue was equivalent to walking into the trap.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not do this sort of foolish thing. He grumbled, "This queue is so long. I can''t enter the capital even if I queue until tomorrow! Forget it, forget it. Originally, I wanted to enter the capital to enrich my experience. Not going to waste this time anymore!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    Due to the queue being too long, there were many who complained and left like Ye Yuan. He naturally would not draw other people''s attention either.


    Ye Yuan walked leisurely in the direction away from the capital, and his head unwittingly started to ache.


    The inspection was so stringent. How should he enter the capital?


    Yet, Ye Yuan just happened to be the least proficient in disguising skills. Otherwise, if he changed his appearance, he believed that even the Lan Family Tribe''s members could not recognize him.


    But now, he only slightly altered his looks. Those sharp-eyed ones could surely identify him at a glance. Ye Yuan naturally could not take this risk.


    Right then, a horse carriage came over from a distance. One look and one could tell that it was a large family''s young lady that returned from her trip.


    The gears in Ye Yuan''s head rotated, and an idea came to his mind!


    He came to a deserted area and let White Light out. White Light clearly did not like staying inside the spatial spirit artifact. Every time he came out, he would frolic about.


    But Ye Yuan did not have time to play with him. Holding him still, he exhorted, "White Light, now''s the time for you to exercise your individual charisma! In a while, I''ll enter the spatial spirit artifact. You bring me along and jump inside that horse carriage. Think of ways to coax the lady inside to bring you into the city. Understood?"


    While White Light could not speak, he was very bright. He could understand all of Ye Yuan''s words and nodded his tiger head at once.


    Ye Yuan was afraid that White Light would not do his best and urged again, "Little thing, Big Brother''s life is all in your hands. If you screw up, Big Brother won''t be able to make any more candy for you to eat in the future!"


    Indeed, once Ye Yuan said that, White Light''s entire body shuddered.


    The candy that Ye Yuan spoke of was naturally medicinal pills.


    Ever since White Light followed Ye Yuan, he had been eating cultivation medicinal pills like candy all along. No matter how many he ate, he could digest them all.


    It was precisely because so that White Light''s cultivation speed was extremely shocking. He already reached late-stage Tier 2 and was going to break through to Tier 3 soon!


    Such cultivation speed was absolutely heaven-defying until it could not be defied anymore among demonic beasts.


    Hence, this threat from Ye Yuan immediately made White Light pluck his spirits up.


    Seeing as that horse carriage was about to drive into the city, Ye Yuan did not dare to delay. Muttering incantations, his figure vanished instantly and entered the spatial spirit artifact.


    White Light brought the dust-like spatial spirit artifact with him, transforming into a stream of flowing light and scurrying out.


    In a blink of an eye, White Light scuttled in from the horse carriage''s window lattice.


    "Ahh!"


    Inside the carriage were two ladies. Seeing a mass of white light scurrying in, they involuntarily shrieked in fear.


    When they saw clearly that it was a highly lovable and cute kitten, the two of them melted in an instant.


    Right at this moment, the carriage curtains were pulled aside with a swoosh. A handsome man reached his head in and asked, "Lingxue, you alright?"


    At this time, Shangguan Lingxue already hid White Light under her skirt. The guy did not see at all.


    The awful thing was that Ye Yuan was afraid that an accident would happen and was observing the situation outside from inside spatial spirit artifact the entire time.


    Currently, White Light was kept under Shangguan Lingxue''s skirt by her. Ye Yuan took in the full view inside the skirt. It was really too beautiful to be absorbed all at once, making Ye Yuan has to impulse to nosebleed.


    "Nothing. A bug flew in just now. It''s already scared away by Qing-er," Shangguan Lingxue said.


    "Oh. Then that''s fine. You girls sit tight. We''re about to enter the city," said the man who then drew the carriage curtains.


    Shangguan Lingxue only took White Light out from under her skirt at this time and was delighted to the extreme.


    "Where did this little white tiger come from? It''s really so cute!" Shangguan Lingxue used her face to rub against White Light.


    White Light instinctively wanted to dodge. But at the thought of Ye Yuan''s words, he steeled his heart and used his furry face to rub over too.


    At this time, White Light squeezed out a smile on his face with all his might, looking just like a kitten; one that was adorable to the max.


    Shangguan Lingxue was instantly swooned by White Light in a blink and hugged him, unwilling to part with him.


    She would kiss him for a while, rub him for a bit, and scratch him for a while, nearly making White Light have an impulse to break down.


    An exalted divine beast progeny was actually treated as a pet by others!


    How could a proud divine beast suffer this blow?!


    Right at this moment, conversing sounds came from outside.


    "This is our travel permit. Quickly let us pass!" said someone. It was the man earlier.


    "Yes!" The guard mused for a brief moment and directly let them pass.


    As the horse carriage gradually drove into the capital, Ye Yuan''s tightly wound nerves finally eased up.


    "What''s your name?"


    "Yelp!"


    "You follow me from now on, alright?"


    "Yelp!" White Light trembled.


    "Lingxue, we''ve reached!" Right then, the horse carriage suddenly stopped. A man''s shout was heard from outside.


    Shangguang Lingxue was engrossed in teasing White Light and could not help being dazed when she heard this call.


    But right when she was in a daze, White Light struggled free from her hands with a whoosh and leaped out of the window lattice once more.

 364 I’m Really an Alchemis

    "Oh no! That little white tiger''s movement was so fast. I actually couldn''t hold him!" Shangguang Lingxue was peeved.


    Right at this time, the carriage curtains were pulled aside, revealing a handsome man''s face.


    "Lingxue, we''ve arrived."


    Shangguan Lingxue had no time to bother with White Light right now. She could only bend down and dismount the carriage, giving a lady''s curtsy to the man.


    "Many thanks to Your Highness, Seventh Prince. Lingxue had a very pleasant time these few days," Shangguan Lingxue said.


    "Haha, to be able to go sight-seeing with one of the two absolutes in the capital, Shangguan Lingxue, it''s my honor!" Seventh Prince''s bearing was extraordinary, without the slightest hint of putting on airs.


    "Lingxue is but a common girl. How am I some dual beauty of the capital? It''s all some meddlesome people monkeying around," Shangguan Lingxue said magnanimously.


    But Seventh Prince laughed and said, "Lingxue is too modest! Since I''ve already sent Lingxue here, I won''t impose on you anymore. Help me send my regards to Uncle Shangguan."


    Shangguan Lingxue smiled sweetly. "Goodbye, Seventh Prince."


    Seeing off Seventh Prince with her eyes, Shangguan Lingxue''s gaze began to wander about. But how was there still White Light''s figure?


    . . . . . .


    In a deserted corner, Ye Yuan''s showed himself. He rubbed White Light''s tiny head hard and said with a smile, "When our family''s White Light acts cute, really nobody can resist!"


    White Light jumped aside and bared his teeth at Ye Yuan!


    Very clearly, that incident earlier already became his everlasting pain.


    He was a divine beast! A divine beast!


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I''m not messing with you anymore. Well done this time! I''ll give you candy to eat later! Heh heh!"


    Only then did White Light became pleased.


    It was just that when Ye Yuan made him go inside the spatial spirit artifact, he refused to enter no matter what.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only bring him along by his side.


    Ye Yuan had searched that middle-aged martial artist''s memories before. Following his memories, Ye Yuan finally found the Xiao Family''s Four Seas Building.


    Smelling the waves of herbal fragrance wafting over, Ye Yuan unwittingly recollected the days of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    "Not sure if Father and Mother are doing well now. I don''t know where they went to in the Northern Domain. Going back this time, it''s time to go find them in the Northern Domain," Ye Yuan murmured to himself.


    After musing for a brief moment, Ye Yuan stepped into the Four Seas Building.


    The Fierce Gale World''s martial age was extremely flourishing. But due to a shortage of resources, their alchemy path and formations path were all much declined.


    Compared to the Endless World, they were far weaker in these aspects.


    However, martial artists'' root was still the strength of their own bodies. Hence, the aggressive nature in the bones of the Fierce Gale World natives was still very strong.


    Therefore, when those martial artists heard that the realm passageway was linked together, their first reaction was to invade the Endless World and not to trade to make up for what they lacked.


    "Buying medicinal pills? Over there. Tier 3 medicinal pills are very expensive. Looking at your penniless appearance, do you have money?" said a shop assistant said to him with his head held high, right at the moment Ye Yuan entered the door.


    The clothes that Ye Yuan was wearing were clothes Lan Feng prepared for him. With the location that the Lan Family Tribe resided in, he naturally could not bring out any fine clothes.


    The shop assistants in the capital were all people whose eyes grew at the top of their heads. One look at Ye Yuan''s appearance and they knew that he came from the countryside. They naturally did not have a good attitude.


    Furthermore, precisely because the Fierce Gale World''s medicinal pills were in shortage, they appeared even more valuable. These shops that engaged in medicinal pills were naturally much sought after. As for their attitude . . . it was unsurprisingly not very good.


    Ye Yuan casually threw out a bronze token and said, "Is the manager here? I''m here to enlist for the Xiao Family''s guest retainer!"


    This bronze token was what Ye Yuan found in that middle-aged martial artist''s storage ring. It was the token to enlist as a guest retainer.


    "Guest retainer?" The assistance looked at Ye Yuan with suspicious eyes and said with a scornful look, "A brat whose hair isn''t even fully grown dares to come and enlist as a guest retainer? Do you know how to light a fire for pill furnaces? Do you think that you''re Miss Ruyan? Quickly go, quickly go! The manager is very busy and doesn''t have time to waste on a kid like you!"


    As he spoke, the assistant was about to push Ye Yuan.


    He exerted force but shoved empty space. Currently, Ye Yuan already arrived behind him and lightly pushed his back.


    Smack!


    The assistant''s face directly planted on the door.


    "Ouch! Brat, you dare to make a move in the Four Seas Building! I think that you''re tired of living, right?" said the assistant as he touched his face that was in pain.


    This assistant was Spirit Condensation Realm too. This bit of injury was naturally nothing much to him.


    But people came and went into the Four Seas Building. He, this haughty assistant, lost a huge amount of face.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Seems like you made a move first, right?"


    How could an Alchemy Emperor''s dignity be affronted by a little clerk? Ye Yuan was just doling out some small punishment. It was already considered showing mercy.


    But the commotion over this side already drew a large group of people to surround and watch. Evidently, it could not be resolved anymore.


    The assistant yelled out at the top of his voice, "Where are the guards? Where the hell did the guards go to? Somebody is making a scene! Why aren''t you taking him down?!"


    This yell, two Late-Stage Crystal Formation Realm guards suddenly appeared. But before they could make a move, a voice sounded from behind them.


    "What happened?" An elderly man came out unhurriedly.


    The assistant covered his face and said, "Manager Tong, this brat is intentionally here to cause trouble! I asked him to leave, but he didn''t and even attack me!"


    Manager Tong''s face fell, and he asked Ye Yuan, "Was there such a thing?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I came to enlist as Xiao Family''s retainer. He didn''t even test me before asking me to get lost. Isn''t that going too far?"


    The assistance said hesitantly, "Manager Tong, this brat is at most 16 years old. Even if he started learning alchemy in his mother''s womb, it''s also impossible to have great accomplishments, right? This punk thinks that he''s Miss Ruyan, having Alchemy Grandmaster standards at a young age? He''s clearly here to cause trouble!"


    The words that the assistance said gave no cause for much criticism. With Ye Yuan''s age, wanting to have major accomplishments in the Alchemy Path was basically impossible.


    "What say you, young man?"


    This Manager Tong was a composed person and did not jump to conclusions.


    Who would have expected Ye Yuan to take out a badge very calmly and wear it on his chest? It was shockingly that low-rank Alchemy Master badge!


    "I''m really an alchemist. I''m not here to pull your leg," Ye Yuan said composedly.


    "Puhwark!"


    When the surrounding spectators saw this scene, they involuntarily nearly vomited out a mouthful of blood.


    Was this young man here to play the fool? A low-rank Alchemy Master also dared to come to register for Xiao Family''s guest retainer?


    "Cough, cough, haven''t gone to the Alchemist Association for very long to take the test. I''m just indicating my identity. As for whether I have the qualifications or not, just test and you''ll know." Ye Yuan explained.


    "Hahaha! Manager Tong, I said that he came to cause trouble, right? A low-rank Alchemy Master actually dares to come to our Four Seas Building to register as a retainer! In my opinion, he''s definitely sent over by the Tong Family to intentionally create trouble!" The assistant jeered.


    The first thing an alchemist would do after advancing ranks would be to go to the Alchemist Association to pass the test for the badge pertaining to their rank.


    Hence, the way the clerk saw it, Ye Yuan was simply here to create a disturbance.


    But Manager Tong still ruminated for briefly before saying to Ye Yuan, "Young man, can you release your soul force?"

 365 All Had Been Said by You People

    "Of course I can. But . . . it doesn''t have to be here, right?"


    Ye Yuan did not wish to be watched like a monkey.


    Manager Tong nodded his head and brought Ye Yuan into a wing-room.


    "Is here alright, young man?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. A majestic soul force rippled out.


    Sensing Ye Yuan''s soul force, Manager Tong''s expression could not help changing.


    "Middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!" Manager Tong said in astonishment.


    Breaking through to the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm, Ye Yuan''s soul force already crossed the threshold of low-rank Alchemy Grandmaster and became middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!


    "Manager Tong, I wonder if I have the qualifications to enlist for the guest retainer position?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Only now did Manager Tong come back to his senses and said, "Of course! Even if you''re unable to pass the test, I also have to highlight to the family head to keep you!"


    You got to be kidding. A 16-year-old middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. If they did not rope in such a person, wouldn''t it be such a pity?


    As an alchemist, in truth, the hardest thing was the divine soul realm! Other aspects could be made up for through hard work, but the breakthrough of divine soul realm varied from person to person.


    Why was there nobody who could refine divine pills in the Divine Realm? It was because no alchemist could shatter the fetters of divine soul realm!


    Furthermore, a genius like this, if Ye Yuan turned to the Tong Family, wouldn''t there be an additional extremely terrifying opponent in the future?


    "Haha. Then that''s good."


    Ye Yuan stubbornly stayed here just to get close to those two slaves. Otherwise, he would have turned around and left long ago.


    "I wonder what Little Brother''s name is?" Manager Tong''s attitude underwent a 180-degree change and already addressed Ye Yuan as brothers.


    "Ji Qing!" Ye Yuan gave his fake name.


    "So, it''s Little Brother Ji Qing. You came just in the nick of time. Miss Ruyan is currently giving out the test to the alchemists who enlisted for guest retainer! Shall we go now?" Manager Tong consulted Ye Yuan''s opinion.


    Ye Yuan did not move right away. Instead, he asked curiously, "Manager Tong, pardon Junior for shooting my mouth off, but what is the Xiao Family recruiting retainers for? Such a large family business like the Four Seas Building shouldn''t lack alchemists, right?"


    Manager Tong sighed when he heard this and said, "Not hiding from Little Brother, the Xiao Family doesn''t lack alchemists, but lack powerful alchemists!"


    "Oh? Please enlighten, Manager Tong," Ye Yuan asked.


    "Actually, the recruitment of retainers this time is something which cannot be helped! In this capital, the biggest medicinal pill managing businesses are our Xiao Family and the Tong Family.


    It''s precisely so that our two families are practically sworn enemies! In order to vie for the medicinal pills market, the two families once came to blows. Just the Sea Transformation Realm experts that died were over a dozen. Later on, Lord Wind Emperor sent people to pass the word down to make the Xiao and Tong, these two families, stop fighting. Only then did the conflict stop."


    "What has this got to do with you guys finding guest retainers?" Ye Yuan asked with a confused look.


    "Afterwards, through His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s mediation, our two families set down rules. Every ten years, the two family''s juniors will undergo a Grand Pill Assembly once to determine the two family''s share of the medicinal pill market. And this year just happens to be the tenth year!" Manager Tong said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was odd as he said, "You all are finding guest retainers in order to participate in this Grand Pill Assembly? The Xiao Family''s junior generation can''t make the cut?"


    Manager Tong''s face changed, and he said furiously, "What do you mean can''t make the cut?! First Young Master, Xiao Rufeng, and Second Miss, Xiao Ruyan, are both extraordinary Alchemy Path prodigies! Especially Second Miss Ruyan. She already stepped into the high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster realm at the age of 20. You dare to say they can''t make the cut?"


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips but thought otherwise.


    20-year-old Alchemy Grandmaster. What was there to be proud of?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Manager Tong could not help being stunned and nearly had an impulse to slap his mouth.


    This young man was only 16 years old. By the time he was 20, he would probably be a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster already. Seemed like his household''s missus did not have anything worth showing off, right?


    Manager Tong coughed dryly twice to ease the awkward situation. He continued, "Actually, it''s First Young Master''s body that has a problem and is unable to take part in this Grand Pill Assembly. Miss Ruyan alone simply cannot defeat the Tong Family."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Like that huh. Then is it compliant with the rules for me to participate? After all, I''m not a Xiao Family member."


    Manager Tong said, "As long as you join the Xiao Family, it''s naturally compliant with the rules. Uh . . ."


    Halfway through his words, Manager Tong suddenly noticed something off.


    What do you mean did it adhere to the rules if you participate? Who told you to take part? Wasn''t this punk''s self-confidence a little too inflated?


    The test wasn''t even passed yet, and he wanted to represent the Xiao Family to fight?


    One had to know that among the alchemists who came to register this time, there was no lack of high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters. Ye Yuan had just entered the middle-rank not long ago. Wanting to pass most likely would not be that easy.


    The reason why Manager Tong took a fancy to Ye Yuan was because he was eyeing his potential, not his present strength.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Since it follows the rules, let''s go take the test then."


    Manager Tong had a gloomy look. This punk really took himself to be someone from the Xiao Family.


    . . . . . .


    When Manager Tong brought Ye Yuan out from the wing-room and Ye Yuan was invited upstairs, the assistant''s eyes went wide.


    Could it brat really be an alchemist?


    The clerk had a premonition that he seemed to have gotten into big trouble and provoked someone that he should not have.


    Don''t look at me, don''t look at me . . . the clerk repeated in his heart.


    But whatever one feared would come. Ye Yuan suddenly turned his head and flashed a slight smile at him. Then he went up slowly.


    The assistant''s legs went wobbly, and he nearly kneeled on the ground.


    "It''s over. This time, it''s really over," the assistant murmured to himself with a wail.


    . . . . . .


    Manager Tong brought Ye Yuan straight up to the third floor and arrived at a hall.


    There were already quite a few people in the hall and even a number of medicinal cauldrons laid out.


    At the far end, there was a partition. The partition was blocked by many layers of chiffon. But, one could faintly see a lithe and graceful silhouette inside.


    Manager Tong asked Ye Yuan to wait for a moment and walked over to the partition.


    Ye Yuan calmly sized up this hall and those alchemists.


    These few people were all the same: high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters. Seemed like only he alone was a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster.


    Mm, of course, in these peoples'' eyes, he most likely did not even count as an alchemist.


    There were still four alchemists apart from Ye Yuan. They clearly saw Ye Yuan too. Seeing the badge adorned on Ye Yuan''s chest, they could not help having a disdainful look.


    "Elder Brothers are all here to enlist for Xiao Family''s guest retainer?" Ye Yuan was warm and enthusiastic as he went forward with a flattering smile.


    "So what if yes? You aren''t the same as us, right?" said an alchemist among them, making a scornful look.


    "Ah? Haha, you even saw through this. Big Brother has really good eyesight!"


    That person said sneeringly, "You, a low-rank Alchemy Master, came to play the fool, right? This place isn''t suitable for you. Better get lost quickly so as to avoid incurring Miss Ruyan''s displeasure!"


    "Yeah. A little fellow who doesn''t know his own limitations. This bit of strength and you also dare to come out and lose face. I think you better go back home and drink milk!" said another person.


    "Without the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, don''t come out and make a spectacle of yourself! The few of us were chosen through layers upon layers of sifting! Who do you think you are?!"


    Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Why are all the stuff I wanted to say all had been said by you people?"

 366 Look at You All Play

    This sentence from Ye Yuan drew the aggro from all the alchemists.


    At this time, Manager Tong came before the five people and said, "Alright. The few of you were selected very carefully, and your strength goes without saying. I won''t say anything unnecessary. Let''s start the test now."


    "Hang on, Manager Tong!" said an alchemist, interrupting Manager Tong''s words.


    "En? You have something to say?" Manager Tong asked with a frown.


    That alchemist pointed at Ye Yuan and said, "Manager Tong letting a low-rank Alchemy Master compete together with us, isn''t this insulting us? I refuse to compete with him!"


    "Yes! We don''t want to compete together with a low-rank Alchemy Master!" The other three people immediately concurred.


    Manager Tong''s face darkened, and he said solemnly, "I''ve already tested. He''s not a low-rank Alchemy Master. He''s the same as you all, possessing Alchemy Grandmaster divine soul realm! It''s just that he hasn''t taken part in the Alchemist Association''s tests for a long time, that''s why he''s wearing low-rank Alchemy Master badge."


    The few people naturally did not believe it. Not everybody on this earth was Xiao Ruyan.


    A 16-year-old youth could become an Alchemy Grandmaster? Even if he became an Alchemy Grandmaster, could he become a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster?"


    "Possessing Alchemy Grandmaster divine soul realm doesn''t mean being able to refine Tier 3 medicinal pills. I think that Manager Tong is clearer than us on this point, right? If Manager Tong insists on letting him compete with us, I''ll withdraw!" The alchemist earlier pulled out the big guns.


    "Yes! I''ll withdraw too!"


    Manager Tong did not think that these few people would actually make things difficult for him. He involuntarily sneered coldly and said, "Withdraw? Heh heh, the way I see it, you people seem to feel that our Xiao Family is easy to bully, eh? But I''m telling you, a starving camel is larger than a horse!"


    The Xiao Family''s matters were not a secret. Now, the news that the Xiao Family was going to be thoroughly finished this time was circulating outside. These few alchemists naturally also heard some extent of it.


    It was just that they also did not think that if the Xiao Family was perfectly fine, why would they find them?


    Indeed, once Manager Tong said these words, these few people''s faces changed.


    At this time, Ye Yuan sat down carelessly on a chair and said, "Alright, alright, you guys just play. I won''t participate, alright? But . . . if you guys all can''t make it, it should eventually be my turn, right?"


    "You''re the one who said it!"


    "So what if I said it? This little lord, I, will sit right here and watch you guys play. I want to see what the hell you all can come up with!" Ye Yuan said.


    Manager Tong secretly heaved a sigh in relief. Ye Yuan taking the initiative to withdraw really resolved his imminent problem.


    Honestly speaking, the counter-attack by those people earlier was seriously quite devastating.


    He could indeed use the Xiao Family''s power to forcefully suppress them. But if they really chose someone and he intentionally went easy during the Grand Pill Assembly, that would not be amusing.


    Yet, Manager Tong did not have much hope in Ye Yuan. Hence, Ye Yuan taking the initiative to withdraw was naturally the best alternative.


    Earlier, he already clarified the situation to Miss Ruyan. Miss Ruyan also agreed to give Ye Yuan a chance. As long as Ye Yuan performed well, entering the Xiao Family was naturally not difficult.


    But the difficulty of this test was much, much tougher than the difficulty of the test to be given to Ye Yuan afterward.


    "Hehe, you still want to appear on the stage? There''s no more chance. Sit there properly!"


    . . . . . .


    The test officially began. Manager Tong said to the four people, "The content of the test is very simple. There are refined medicinal embryos in here. The content of your test is to refine these medicinal embryos into pills, and it will be considered as passing the test."


    Evidently, this pill formula was very precious and naturally could not be leaked out. If just the medicinal embryos were provided, even if these few people were even more powerful, they also could not possibly steal the pill formula.


    Of course, this did not include Ye Yuan.


    The four people were even happier when they heard it. This was too easy.


    One had to know that the process of refining pills was very complicated. Any single oversight could cause the pill refinement to fail.


    But now, even the medicinal embryos were refined. They were only responsible for the final refinement and forming the pill. It was practically something that was not troublesome.


    Although they knew that this medicinal pill was surely not very easy to refine, how could the few of them be simple people?


    The four of them held their cleavers and entered the battlefield, starting the refinement at the same time!


    Perhaps they deliberately wanted to show off in front of Xiao Ruyan; these few people''s refinement techniques were very resplendent, looking quite like the model of a respected grandmaster.


    Even Manager Tong also nodded secretly when he saw it. These people were indeed worthy of being strictly and carefully selected. Their strength was highly outstanding.


    Ye Yuan watched this scene composedly by the side, with a slightly ruminating expression on his face.


    Actually, same as martial artists, the ranks of alchemists and the true standards of alchemists could not be equated the same.


    An alchemist obtaining the title of high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster did not mean that he could refine all the Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pills.


    The same Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pills, but the refining difficulty varied greatly. Even high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters could not refine some Tier 3 middle-grade or even low-grade medicinal pills!


    Behind the partition, Xiao Ruyan was also watching these four alchemists refine medicinal pills in a perturbed mood. This concerned whether the Xiao Family could win at the Grand Pill Assembly or not!


    Truthfully speaking, even if selected, Xiao Ruyan did not have the confidence to win for certain. The strength of the Tong Family''s juniors was actually even stronger than the Xiao Family!


    But this matter was related to the Xiao Family''s development in the next decade. Xiao Ruyan was compelled to face the problem head-on.


    A pair of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at those four people, hoping that it was best if they did not make mistakes.


    But whatever one feared would come. Just seven and a half minutes later, only to hear a puff. Someone already failed. The medicinal pill was burned into black charcoal.


    That alchemist had a dejected look. "Why is this damn pill so hard to refine?"


    The other three people''s faces currently no longer had the composure from when they just started. The difficulty of this medicinal pill had indeed exceeded their imaginations.


    Their soul force was completely locked onto the medicinal pill, and they did not dare to slacken the slightest bit.


    However, this did not have any d*mn use!


    Another series of puffing sounds went on. A furnace of useless pills was refined out.


    When that person came to one side and saw Ye Yuan''s Cheshire cat smile, he wished that he could go up and rend his face.


    But their attention was very swiftly drawn over by the other two people.


    The two people''s foreheads were already drenched in sweat. Clearly, the difficulty of this medicinal pill was already on the verge of surpassing their limits.


    Before long, another person failed. Only one person was left still persevering.


    The three people who were defeated had their eyes glued on the last person, hoping that he could succeed.


    Because from their peripherals, they already saw the expression on Ye Yuan''s face.


    Earlier, each and every one of them looked down on Ye Yuan, thinking that they would definitely be the one who won. But now, there was only one final seedling left on the field.


    Manager Tong was also very nervous. In the blink of an eye, the four people who were carefully chosen only had one left. This unwittingly made him feel tremendous pressure.


    Fortunately, the strength of this remaining one was still considered decent. He actually already barely managed to finish refining the medicinal pill!


    "Condense!"


    Following his cry, everyone''s heart tightened. Did it succeed or not?

 367 Work like a Horse

    When the medicinal pill formed, everyone heaved a sigh in relief.


    Even the always composed Manager Tong also secretly wiped his sweat at this time.


    The other three people came forward as well, wanting to see what kind of medicinal pill was refined.


    "Qiu Zhi, how is it? Succeeded?" the three people asked, rather nervously.


    Qiu Zhi wiped away the sweat on his forehead and nodded, saying, "I''m exhausted to death! Finally I formed the pill!"


    Talking up to here, Qiu Zhi looked at Ye Yuan with a proud grin and said, "I said that you won''t have the chance, means you won''t have the chance! Well? Can you get lost now?"


    Ye Yuan was delighted when he heard that. "Isn''t the furnace not opened yet? Come, open it and have a look. See what kind of crap you refined."


    Qiu Zhi''s face darkened. He finished extremely forcefully earlier. He knew that the grade of the medicinal pill was definitely not high.


    But in front of so many people, he naturally had no reason to fear.


    "Have a look then! I''ll let you give up after this!"


    As he said, the medicinal cauldron opened. Fragrance suffused all around.


    The four people reached their heads over to take a look. Even Manager Tong could not resist moving closer to have a look too.


    With this look, Qiu Zhi''s face could not be preserved anymore.


    The medicinal pill was refined. But it was simply a defect good; unable to even enter the ranks.


    Qiu Zhi said to Manager Tong with a bitter face, "Manager Tong, you take a look . . ."


    Manager Tong was quite disappointed as well. But he also knew how great the difficulty this pill refinement was. Qiu Zhi being able to refine successfully was already fairly decent.


    Manager Tong sighed and said, "There''s already no more time. It''s you then."


    Qiu Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that. Being able to join the Xiao Family, he no longer needed to worry for the rest of his life.


    One had to know that alchemist was a profitable career but also a money-burning career. Without the support of a major faction behind, it was very hard to have improvements.


    Qiu Zhi being able to cultivate to High-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster Realm was already his limit. Any further, and he must find a backer. Otherwise, it would be like this for this life.


    "Hold on!" Right at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded.


    Xiao Ruyan spoke!


    The gauze curtains were pulled aside. A veil-covered girl walked out from behind the partition.


    Although there was a fine gauze covering the face, it could not conceal that lithe and graceful figure of hers, swaying until the four people were entranced.


    The four guys did not dare to slight her. They hastily gave a bow and said, "We pay respects to Miss Ruyan!"


    Xiao Ruyan nodded her head lightly, but said, "You all are also aware that the Grand Pill Assembly this time is of utmost importance to my Xiao Family. Qiu Zhi, although you refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, it''s only a defect good, not even entering the ranks. While your strength is not bad, you can''t win the Tong Family."


    Xiao Ruyan was clearly also slightly melancholic in her words.


    In truth, this sort of method like finding guest retainers from outside was a choice that could not be helped. The powerful alchemists were long divided up by the various large factions. The remaining ones were those who were rejected.


    These four people in front of her were considered passable among those who failed to meet the mark.


    Qiu Zhi was thunderstruck when he heard this. He said with a face full of indignation, "But just now, Manager Tong clearly said that we just have to succeed in the refinement and that will do! How can you all renege on your word?"


    "Snort!"


    A discordant snicker interrupted Qiu Zhi''s words. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Qiu Zhi had anger that he dare not flare towards Xiao Ruyan. But it did not mean that he dare not turn it towards Ye Yuan. He immediately said furiously, "What are you laughing about, stinking brat?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Sorry, I couldn''t hold it. If this is also considered as a successful refinement, then aren''t alchemists too easy to become?"


    "Humph! Making sarcastic remarks when you can''t understand the difficulty! You come and refine then if you have the capabilities! Weren''t you saying that you could refine very arrogantly just now? Why don''t you refine one for me to see?!" Qiu Zhi said with a cold smile.


    Xiao Ruyan''s mind was currently in a whirl. These two people''s endless bickering made her even more displeased, and she could not help saying, "Stop arguing! Although his soul force is not bad, wanting to refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is basically an impossible thing. The few of you leave first. I need some peace and quiet!"


    When these words were said, Ye Yuan was piqued. "Why is Miss Ruyan the same as these uncultured people, judging people by their outward appearance?"


    When these words came out, everyone perspired profusely.


    Xiao Ruyan was uncultured? Wasn''t this brat''s gall too fat?


    Indeed, Xiao Ruyan was so furious that her entire body was trembling. She was just about to blow her top when she heard Ye Yuan curl his mouth and say, "Isn''t it just Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill? Give me 15 minutes. I''ll refine for you to see."


    Xiao Ruyan sucked in a deep breath to calm her emotions. But her tone became cold. "What a high-sounding sentiment! 15 minutes to refine a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill? Do you think that you''re an Alchemy King? Fine. I''ll let you try it. If you can''t refine it . . ."


    "If I can''t refine it, I''ll sign my life away to work like a horse for Miss Ruyan for the rest of my life. How''s that?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Xiao Ruyan''s pretty face went red. Luckily, there was the fine gauze blocking her face. But when she saw that Ye Yuan''s smile did not have lecherous intent, she knew that she misunderstood.


    As one of the two beauties in the capital, there were too many men pursuing Xiao Ruyan. Even if she did not wish to, she still had immense skill in the aspect of examining a man''s words and observing his countenance.


    "What do I want you to work like a horse for? If you can''t refine it, then help our Xiao Family refine medicinal pills for life!" Xiao Ruyan said.


    Hearing these words, the four people all took pleasure in his misfortune.


    They knew deeply from experience the refining difficulty of this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill. This punk only had a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force. It was still uncertain if he could refine pills or not. It was essentially impossible to refine it.


    He was going to be a pill slave for the rest of his life for sure!


    Not everyone was Xiao Ruyan!


    Xiao Ruyan being able to reach such a realm was because her talent was good. More importantly, she had the powerful Xiao Family supporting her from behind.


    Look at what this punk was wearing. One look and they could tell that he came from the countryside. What kind of background could he have?


    At most, his natural talent was a little better, and his cultivation was a little quicker.


    "Refining a lifetime of medicinal pills. That''s also a blissful thing. Except . . . I still have other things I need to do," Ye Yuan said with a rather emotional sigh.


    Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan''s lifelong aspiration was to refine medicinal pills for life. But the god of destiny makes fools out of people. Now that he had transmigrated, he had no choice but to pursue the paramount of Martial Path to avenge his old hatred.


    Xiao Ruyan could not help being very puzzled when she saw Ye Yuan''s somewhat desolate eyes. How old was this young man? Why did it seem like he had experienced countless vicissitudes of life?


    But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, Xiao Ruyan refused to believe it no matter what.


    It was true that this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill was a Tier 3 high-rank medicinal pill, but barely any Alchemy Grandmasters could refine it.


    Even her own success rate was just 50%. This youth looked like he was even a few years younger than her. How could he possibly succeed?


    Xiao Ruyan merely had a momentary burst of anger just now. For this youth to have middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force, his potential was limitless.


    No matter what, the Xiao Family had to retain him. Perhaps in the not too distant future, an extremely powerful Alchemy Grandmaster might appear in the Xiao Family.


    "Enough crap. We''re still waiting to see how you refine the pill. Our skills are lacking, so we need to learn well!" Qiu Zhi said sarcastically.

 368 This Is Flaunting Skill

    Xiao Ruyan furrowed her eyebrows but did not say anything.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "One needs comprehension abilities to learn things. Your talent is too poor; you can''t learn anything."


    Qiu Zhi''s face darkened. "Smile; I hope that you can still smile in a while! When you can''t refine it, just wait to be a pill slave for the rest of your life then!"


    Ye Yuan could not be inclined to bother with him. He went to the medicinal cauldron''s side.


    Instantaneously, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body changed abruptly!


    Earlier, there was still some profligate juvenile aura. But now, it was as deep as the sea, as if everything in the outside world no longer had anything to do with him.


    Clearly not standing far from him, but it seemed to be two different worlds!


    Xiao Ruyan''s expression involuntarily changed and immediately put away her belittling heart.


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance! Xiao Ruyan touched her heart and asked herself when she refined pills, she could not reach Ye Yuan''s degree of focus either!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not carry out meditation but directly refined the pill. Such ability, among ten thousand alchemists, there might not even necessarily be one.


    Xiao Ruyan waved her hand to motion for everyone to move back and not disturb Ye Yuan''s pill refinement.


    Ye Yuan grabbed with one hand. A bundle of flames flew up from the bottom of the furnace, enveloping the entire medicinal cauldron!


    Immediately after, he formed seals with both hands. The temperature of the flames was rapidly rising.


    "Tch! Pretending to be profound! This level of fire controlling skill is also just a little nice to look at only," Qiu Zhi said disdainfully.


    "Yeah. Just showing off his skill. Pleasant to the eyes but of no use at all!" Another person concurred.


    They naturally would not remember that, as a matter of fact, they were also showing off their skills earlier. It was just that they did not parade for long before they could not sustain it anymore.


    And Ye Yuan was already very restrained currently. If he really showed off his skills, even he would be frightened.


    "Keep your mouth shut if you don''t understand! Use your soul force to take a look. The surrounding temperature around the medicinal cauldron is all exactly the same. This lets the medicinal pill receive heat extremely uniform! When refining a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, the most important thing is uniform heating!"


    When Xiao Ruyan spoke up, the rest naturally shut their mouths sensibly.


    And Xiao Ruyan herself was also extremely surprised. Could it be that this Ji Qing had refined Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pills before? Otherwise, how could he possibly know this crucial aspect?


    Was it just a coincidence?


    As they were talking, Ye Yuan already completed the heating. Gesturing with one hand, the medicinal embryo flew into the medicinal cauldron.


    Next, the dazzling display of technique that made everyone feel dizzy officially began!


    One seal after another was fired into the medicinal cauldron non-stop. Ye Yuan''s hands were like phantoms, intoxicating the people watching it.


    Even Qiu Zhi and the others who had been displeased with Ye Yuan all along was also spell bounded by Ye Yuan for a moment and kept their mouths shut.


    This was still Ye Yuan not wishing to be overly conspicuous, so he did not enter the Legendary Realm. Or else, it would not be as simple as flaunting his technique.


    15 minutes passed in a flash. Only to see Ye Yuan lightly cry out, "condense."


    The pill was formed!


    Only at this time did everyone feel as if they woke up from a dream.


    Manager Tong''s strength was the greatest and recovered from his stupor first. He murmured under his breath, "This is a genuinely a pompous display of one''s skill!"


    Qiu Zhi and the rest also recovered and could not help flushing crimson red.


    Apart from Ye Yuan''s realm being inferior to theirs, his other aspects were way stronger than them!


    Ye Yuan sniggered and said, "Just nice, around 15 minutes! Inspect the pill then, Miss Ruyan!"


    Xiao Ruyan took in a deep breath and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. She was astonished.


    "This is a Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pill. You''re actually not the least bit debilitated after finish refining it?"


    When Xiao Ruyan herself refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, every time she finished the refinement, it would be a little more than she could stand. Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was perfectly fine!


    Xiao Ruyan sensed it very clearly just now. Ye Yuan had only just broken through to the middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster!


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Still alright. As long as the control is a little more precise, you don''t need to expend so much soul force."


    Everyone felt depressed. How precise did one''s control have to be to be able to expend so little soul force!


    Earlier, when he finished the refinement, Qiu Zhi felt like he was on the verge of collapsing. He was a veteran high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, and it was more than he could bear. Ye Yuan, a newly advanced middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, could actually do it to such an extent?


    A little more precise? How much was this little more?


    Qiu Zhi felt like he had no more face to stay on. But he was still rather unwilling to give up. He wanted to see if Ye Yuan really refined out a medicinal pill.


    Qiu Zhi plucked up his courage and opened his mouth, "Who knows if you''re deliberately kicking up a cloud of dust? Or maybe, you wasted the pill long ago!"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I knew that you wouldn''t turn back without hitting the South Wall."


    "Open!"


    Ye Yuan pointed a finger. A medicinal pill flew out of the medicinal cauldron on its own and landed on the jade dish.


    Everyone rushed to look at that medicinal pill. With a single look, it caused them to involuntarily drew a cold breath.


    "H-High-grade medicinal pill!" Qiu Zhi could hardly believe it.


    Xiao Ruyan''s beautiful eyes also became intent, and she stared at Ye Yuan rather incredulously.


    She could refine out a high-grade Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, but the success rate was too low. Majority of the time, it was all middle-grade. When she performed below her usual standards, it would be low-grade pills.


    She never thought that this young man''s first refinement was actually directly a high-grade medicinal pill.


    "You . . . You must have cheated!" Qiu Zhi pointed at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop disgracing yourself here. Quickly get lost! Entering the Grand Pill Assembly with this standard of yours is no longer a matter of losing. It''s directly throwing away all faces of the Xiao Family members!"


    Xiao Ruyan''s patience was utterly worn out too. She said sombrely, "Scram for me! Lacking strength and still reproaching others! So many pairs of eyes were looking. Pray tell then, how did he cheat?"


    Qiu Zhi was so furious that his complexion turned green. He said with a cold snort, "Go, then go! This place doesn''t want to keep this Lord, there will naturally be a place to hold this Lord! Harrumph!"


    Finished talking, Qiu Zhi flicked his sleeves and left.


    Manager Tong''s face fell, but he looked towards Xiao Ruyan, clearly seeking her opinion on whether to take care of this fellow or not.


    He only dropped it when he saw Xiao Ruyan shake her head slightly.


    Only after Qiu Zhi and the other three people left, Manager Tong asked, "Those few people were so high and mighty. Why did Miss let them leave?"


    Xiao Ruyan let out a sigh and said, "If it were in the past, how could I tolerate them being so arrogant? How could they dare to be stuck-up in front of me? It''s just that they were publicly recruited by us. If a mishap happened to them in our place here, it would be even harder for this Four Seas Building to sustain."


    Manager Tong also sighed faintly when he heard that and did not say any more.


    Ye Yuan also made out some things by the side. The Xiao Family''s present situation seemed to be very bad. They actually did not even dare to offend these alchemists without backgrounds.


    Logically speaking, although a large family like the Xiao Family was not a pinnacle faction in the capital, wanting to take care of a few alchemists without backgrounds was still a piece of cake.


    But all these were not what he could bother about. His goal was to figure out who those two slaves were.


    At this time, Xiao Ruyan broke away from her pessimistic mood and returned to Ye Yuan once again.


    "Mister Ji, if my conjectures are correct, you should have refined the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill before in the past, right?" Xiao Ruyan asked Ye Yuan with glittering eyes.

 369 Xiao Family Guest Retainer

    "Ha! Of course I''ve refined it before. Such a simple medicinal pill." Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hiding it.


    To Ye Yuan, this Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill was indeed simple. The truly heaven-defying difficulty level Tier 3 medicinal pill were countless times more complicated than this!


    Except, Xiao Ruyan had an impulse to cough blood when she heard these words.


    "Mister Ji, can you enlighten Ruyan who you learned from?" Xiao Ruyan asked dejectedly.


    "Hehe, my master is just country folk. Miss Ruyan has definitely never heard the name before. Moreover, before I left, Master severely warned me not to use his name."


    Ye Yuan pulled out another master. This move was the best. The Fierce Gale World was so huge. Could Xiao Ruyan really dig his master out?


    But Xiao Ruyan was not someone who was so easy to dupe. She interrogated again, "Since you''re not willing to say, I won''t force you either. But how do you make me believe that you''re not somebody sent by the Tong Family?"


    "This . . . I really have no way of proving it," Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    "That means that there''s a possibility that the Tong Family sent you here?" Xiao Ruyan stared fixedly at Ye Yuan''s eyes, wanting to see if he was telling lies.


    Ye Yuan naturally had a composed look as he said with a smile, "I think that if the Tong Family wanted to do something, they wouldn''t be foolish enough to send an expert like me over, right? Just based on those dregs that you were recruiting just now, wouldn''t they winning you be as easy as turning over their hands?"


    "Urgh . . ." Xiao Ruyan was rendered speechless.


    Yeah, the Tong Family completely did not need to do anything now and was already sure to win this Grand Pill Assembly.


    Sending over one Ye Yuan to be a spy now was simply something superfluous.


    An alchemist that could refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill so casually was not some common good.


    At this time, Manager Tong moved close to Xiao Ruyan and said, "Second Miss, that''s the logic. Furthermore, there are only three days before the Grand Pill Assembly takes place. We have no other alternatives either. Even if he really is a spy, we can only use him!"


    Xiao Ruyan sighed and gave a limpid bow, saying, "Alright then, Mister Ji. From today onwards, you''re Xiao Family''s guest retainer alchemist. I hope that Mister Ji can go all out to help my Xiao Family win this match. As long as Mister Ji can win a match, my Xiao Family is willing to pay any price!"


    "For real? Does this any price include Miss Ruyan?" Ye Yuan''s eyebrows raised up.


    Once these words came out, two killing intents instantly locked onto Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan hastily chuckled and said, "Hahaha! Just making a joke, just making a joke! Don''t take it seriously, Miss Ruyan."


    "Humph! This sort of joke, I advise that you better not make them next time, so as to avoid you losing your small life! I still have things to do so I''ll head back to the Xiao Family first! About Mister Ji''s matters, Manager Tong, you arrange it." Xiao Ruyan then left without even turning her head back.


    Ye Yuan involuntarily stuck out his tongue. Cracking this kind of joke with women would indeed suffer a disastrous catastrophe!


    Manager Tong saw the situation and used his finger to poke Ye Yuan, "Oh you, what kind of joke did you have to crack? Why did you have to crack one with Second Miss? You''re already considered lucky that she didn''t kill you on the spot!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Oh, right, isn''t Miss Xiao Ruyan hosting a martial competition to find a spouse? What''s with that?"


    Manager Tong sighed heavily and said, "Sigh, Second Miss, she . . . has a bitter life! Spouse finding martial competition is also Xiao Family''s action that could not be helped. Truthfully, within this capital, how can it just be the two Huang and Xue Families that are coveting Second Miss''s beauty?"


    Since Ye Yuan already became Xiao Family''s guest retainer, Manager Tong naturally did not have anything much to hide from him. He briefly introduced the Xiao Family''s matters to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after he heard it.


    As a second-rate family, the Xiao Family''s and Tong Family''s strength had always been equally matched. In so many years of Grand Pill Assemblies, both sides had victories and defeat.


    But this sort of equilibrium situation was utterly shattered 30 years ago.


    30 years ago, the Tong Family''s Alchemy Path strength suddenly skyrocketed. Quite a number of top geniuses appeared in the junior generation in succession, winning the Grand Pill Assembly in one fell swoop!


    According to the agreement, the Xiao Family must hand over 50% of the medicinal pill market after defeat!


    This Grand Pill Assembly was actually the deciding factor on how many shares the two Xiao and Tong families occupied in the medicinal pill market. The victor occupied 70% of the medicinal pill market, while the loser only had 20%. The remaining 10% was allocated to the other small factions.


    For so many years, the two families had always been well-matched in strength. When one side lost, they would think of any way possible to win back too. Hence, it would practically replace once every ten years.


    But since 30 years ago, the Xiao Family had never won a match before, consecutively losing three periods!


    This year''s match was the fourth period. If the Xiao Family lost again, they could basically announce their withdrawal from the medicinal pill market.


    The Xiao Family was obviously unresigned to continuous defeats. These ten years, they piled virtually all of their resources on Xiao Rufeng and Xiao Ruyan.


    These two people did not let them down either. Especially Xiao Ruyan, who cultivated to the realm of a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at a young age!


    But there were unforeseen storms in nature. A while back, when Xiao Rufeng entered closed-seclusion, wanting to break through to the Soul Sea Realm in one stroke and to become a Quasi-Alchemy King, his breakthrough failed; he suffered a backlash!


    Now, Xiao Rufeng was bedridden with severe injuries and simply could not recover for the Grand Pill Assembly in three days'' time.


    Compelled against their will, the Xiao Family invited Qiu Zhi and the rest over.


    The medicinal pills refined at the Grand Pill Assembly were basically all Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill difficulty level. Qiu Zhi and the rest could not even refine the prepared medicinal embryos. At the Grand Pill Assembly, they would only serve as a stopgap.


    Xiao Ruyan was also very disheartened earlier behind the partition. Who would have expected Ye Yuan''s appearance would actually make her eyes light up.


    As for the spouse finding martial competition, it was also because the Xiao Family''s strength was weak. The Xiao Family had to consolidate their position through means of uniting in marriage.


    If the Xiao Family really lost the Grand Pill Assembly, they had to find a way out for themselves in advance.


    Except, the Xiao Family could not afford to offend either one of the Huang and Xue families. So, they could only use this kind of spouse finding martial competition method to determine who Xiao Ruyan belonged to.


    Speaking of that, Xiao Ruyan was a pitiful person.


    Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly after hearing the Xiao Family''s story.


    "Therefore, regardless where Mister Ji come from, please put your best effort forward and help the Xiao Family win the match! This old man is forever indebted!" Manager Tong said, giving Ye Yuan a deep bow.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly went to help him up and said with a smile, "Isn''t it just a Grand Pill Assembly? A piece of cake! Forget about one match, even three matches is not an issue! Ah, right, can I take on three matches by myself? This way, the Tong Family will lose for sure!"


    Manager Tong hurriedly said, "That''s naturally not permitted! This Grand Pill Assembly is competing in the composite strength of the two family''s juniors. How can they possibly allow one person to fight three matches?"


    "Like that huh? Then that''s too bad! Guess they got lucky!" Ye Yuan said with a face full of regret.


    Talking about alchemy, Ye Yuan was naturally excited. Forget about three matches, he would not mind even 30 matches.

 370 Xiao Changfeng

    "Ah! Where did this little white tiger come from? How adorable! Come, let Big Sister hug!"


    "Hehe, look, he got angry. Even his angry appearance is so cute!"


    "Hehe, this Sir, is this your little white tiger? Can you lend me to play for two days?"


    From yesterday onwards, White Light became a beautiful scenic spot in the Xiao Manor. No matter where Ye Yuan went, he would become the focal point of everyone.


    Especially these young ladies and maidservants, when they saw White Light, each and every one of them would be rooted to the ground and be unable to resist coming forward to tease him.


    But White Light did not like other people''s affection. Each time other people came over, he would put on a posture that kept people a thousand miles away and bared his fangs at them.


    However, the more he did so, the more lovable these young ladies and maidservants found him.


    Ye Yuan was obviously not wandering around with nothing to do. He wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the matter regarding the slaves. But he could not be so obvious with this kind of thing either. To prevent drawing suspicion, White Light naturally became the best cover-up.


    With White Light as a front, Ye Yuan could openly find these maidservants and young ladies to chat. In the long run, he really found out quite a bit of news.


    By approaching the subject in a roundabout manner, Ye Yuan still confirmed in the end that the Xiao Family really purchased two Endless World slaves recently!


    Speaking of it, those two slaves were not bought by the Xiao Family, but the Huang and Xue Family gifted one each.


    Evidently, these two families gifting slaves was in order to curry favor with Xiao Ruyan.


    As a second-rate family, the Xiao Family did not have the qualifications to buy such rare slaves yet.


    Ye Yuan still wanted to inquire about the looks of those two slaves. But regretfully, those two were sent to Xiao Ruyan''s manor directly. Other people totally did not get a chance to see.


    And the residences of women were all a part of the inner courtyards. There were experts guarding all around. With Ye Yuan''s present strength, wanting to intrude inside silently was not very probable.


    Seemed like to approach those two Endless World people, it ultimately still fell on Xiao Ruyan.


    With Ye Yuan''s present condition, he could only come into contact with these two people. The others should have been bought over by powerful factions. Wishing to figure it out in a short period of time was something not very easy.


    But Ye Yuan was not in a rush either. Ever since he knew that Mei Zhen and the rest were peddled to the Central Capital, Ye Yuan made the preparations for a long period of struggle.


    "Aiya, Ji Qing, I finally found you! I''ve been following behind you and asking around for quite some time!" Ye Yuan was currently ruminating when Manager Tong yelled out at the top of his voice.


    The Xiao Manor''s area was immensely vast. Wanting to find a person really needed to expend some effort.


    "En? Manager Tong is finding me for something? I figured out that I''ll have to live in Xiao Manor in the future, so I obviously have to familiarize myself. That''s why I''m looking around," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Manager Tong had an indignant look as he said, "I say, Little Brother Ji, there are only two days to the Grand Pill Assembly. You have to do some preparations, right? Wandering leisurely around like this . . . probably isn''t good, yeah?"


    Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes when he heard this. "Isn''t it just a Grand Pill Assembly? What''s there to prepare? Isn''t the Tong Family just sending a couple of juniors up? It''s not like we''re competing against their family''s old freaks."


    Seeing Ye Yuan pay no attention to it, Manager Tong was furious. "I say, Ji Qing, you''re our Xiao Family''s guest retainer now, and drawing our Xiao Family''s salary! The Grand Pill Assembly concerns the Xiao Family''s survival. You have to at least put in some effort, right? Although the Tong Family is sending their juniors, their strength is very formidable!"


    "How formidable?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Speaking of which, Ye Yuan was really completely clueless about that so-called Tong Family.


    "Tong Family . . . Sigh, forget it, forget it. Come with me, there''s somebody who wishes to see you! After you see him, you''ll naturally know."


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan followed Manager Tong to a quiet and secluded courtyard and entered a room.


    "It''s Tong Suan, right? Did you bring Ji Qing here?" A deep voice came from inside the house.


    "Yes. He''s right outside," Manager Tong said respectfully.


    "You withdraw first. Let him enter." The voice inside the house sounded again.


    "Yes!"


    Finished talking, Manager Tong turned around and said to Ye Yuan, "You enter alone. Remember, don''t be impudent."


    "Oh," Ye Yuan replied very carelessly.


    Manager Tong was depressed but did not say anything. He still withdrew.


    Ye Yuan entered the house, but it was a pill refinement room. A middle-aged man was currently meditating on the bed in the center of the refining room.


    Ye Yuan was just about to go forward to greet, only to see a majestic soul force attack him in a manner that blotted out heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes flickered but did not evade, allowing the other party to do as he pleased.


    The middle-aged man''s divine soul looked to have very strong offensive power, but when it landed on Ye Yuan''s body, it was incomparably gentle.


    The light soul force enveloped Ye Yuan as if it was seeking out something.


    After several breaths, the other party''s soul force retreated like tidewater.


    "Young man, you''re very poised! When my soul force attacked you, you were actually completely unruffled!" The middle-aged man''s deep voice sounded.


    It was just that although his voice was calm, it carried some astonishment. Clearly, Ye Yuan''s performance just now greatly exceeded his expectations.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Can''t dodge it. Why take a superfluous action? Ever since I entered this house, if Senior wanted to kill me, I can only be at your mercy."


    The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "Indeed, heroes come from the youngsters! Listening to the meaning in your words, if it were outside, you have the ability to escape?"


    Ye Yuan sad neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Might not be without assurance!"


    Evidently, the other party was a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    The possibility of trying to escape from the other party''s hands was trifling. But in Ye Yuan''s dictionary, there wasn''t the word impossible.


    If he made proper use of the environmental and human conditions, he might not have zero chance of escaping.


    Recalling back then, he was only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm, didn''t he still kill the Sea Transformation Realm Black Crow Old Man?


    Of course, the difference between Soul Sea Realm and Crystal Formation Realm was an entirely different concept from the disparity between Sea Transformation Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Hence, Ye Yuan just ''humbly'' said that he might not be without assurance.


    There was a heaven and earth difference between the lower three realms and middle three realms for martial artists. No matter how strong a Sea Transformation Realm was, they were only a lower three realm martial artist; completely incomparable from the middle three realm Soul Sea Realm.


    "Heh heh, Tong Suan said that you''re capable but doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Indeed not false. But . . . you really escaped a calamity just now," the middle-aged man said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan knew in his heart, but intentionally asked in confusion, "Oh? What do Senior''s words mean?"


    "News came from the realm passageway that an Endless World youth might have already silently infiltrated the capital. I was testing your divine soul just now. If your divine soul was different from us Fierce Gale World martial artists, I would have killed you without hesitation earlier!" said the middle-aged man indifferently.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback at the right level, asking in surprise, "There''s actually such a thing? Senior actually suspects that I''m a person from another world?"


    "Hur hur, just that your age matches the information report. Your appearance in the capital is also very sudden. I only tested you out of cautiousness. Oh, right, I''m called Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Family''s Family Head."

 371 Interacting a Little Is Good Too

    Towards the middle-aged man''s identity, Ye Yuan had already deduced it. Hence, there was not really anything surprising.


    In truth, when Xiao Changfeng''s soul force pounced towards Ye Yuan earlier, Ye Yuan''s first reaction was to retaliate.


    But he reacted very quickly. Xiao Changfeng most likely held suspicions towards his identity. Therefore, he might as well release his divine soul and let Xiao Changfeng examine freely.


    Ye Yuan did not have much attainments in disguising skills. But in the camouflaging of the divine soul, who in the Lower Realms could match him?


    Although they were all humans, on different planes, human souls still had some slight differences.


    This point, Xiao Changfeng knew. As an Alchemy Emperor, how could Ye Yuan be ignorant?


    Hence, ever since eliminating Lan Bao, Ye Yuan already camouflaged his own divine soul into the appearance of a Fierce Gale World''s martial artist through divine soul mystic arts.


    With Lan Feng''s divine soul as a reference, Ye Yuan''s camouflage was naturally flawless.


    Forget about Xiao Changfeng who only had Alchemy King level soul force, even if an Alchemy Sovereign was present, he would also have no way of seeing through Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s research in the divine soul surpassed the lower planes.


    Rather, if Xiao Changfeng really made a move against Ye Yuan, while Ye Yuan was far less powerful than his soul force, he could forget about gaining any advantage.


    Even if he really killed Ye Yuan, he himself would surely lose half his life as well.


    Ye Yuan did not make a fuss over it. If he was too fake, it would be easy to leave flaws instead.


    Though the Xiao Family was declining with day after day, to be able to become the head of a family, how many would be fools?


    Therefore, when Ye Yuan heard that Xiao Changfeng was the Xiao Family''s Family Head, not only was he not surprised, he had a furious look as he said, "Harrumph! Since Family Head doesn''t trust me, what did you make me a guest retainer for? I''ll resign from this guest retainer at once and leave the Xiao Family!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan really flapped his sleeves and left.


    Xiao Changfeng did not think that Ye Yuan was actually so staunch and knew that he went overboard. He hastily called out, "Wait a minute, Little Brother Ji!"


    But Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back as he said, "Other people give me an inch, I''ll return them tenfold! If people don''t trust me, why is there a need for me to snub despite showing good intentions? Farewell, Family Head Xiao!"


    Xiao Changfeng was so miserable that he nearly coughed blood. But he had no choice but to chase after.


    Xiao Rufeng was still bedbound, and they finally found a replacement with much difficulty. If this Ye Yuan ran, then how the hell were they going to fight in this Grand Pill Assembly?!


    A gust of wind blew past. Xiao Changfeng blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "What? Can it be that Family Head Xiao wants to use force?"


    Xiao Changfeng had never been forced to submit to a junior before. His old face was almost all lost.


    However, at this present moment, he had no choice but to control his temper and persuade Ye Yuan.


    That probing earlier already completely enraged Ye Yuan. Anymore and Ye Yuan would not help the Xiao Family fight even if he had to commit suicide.


    Xiao Changfeng already knew that Ye Yuan''s personality was very firm and persistent. How could he still dare to use force? He could only smile flatteringly and said, "Little Brother Ji is mistaken. I . . . I apologize to you for the matter earlier! I believe that Little Brother Ji has also heard that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is already preparing to invade the Endless World on a large-scale. We have no option but to be more cautious."


    But Ye Yuan did not buy it. "Then may I know if Family Head Xiao has probed out anything?"


    Xiao Changfeng had an embarrassed look as he said, "Little Brother Ji is a true-blue Fierce Gale World native for sure. You naturally can''t be a spy."


    "Humph! I can understand family head''s thoughts, but even if you want to feel me out, you can also let me know beforehand. Probing me without rhyme or reason like this is an unprecedented shame for me!" Ye Yuan said icily.


    "This Family Head was indeed overly impetuous with this matter. I hope that Little Brother Ji is magnanimous enough to forgive," said Xiao Changfeng, controlling his temper and apologized.


    Going over the limit was as bad as falling short. Ye Yuan obviously would not go overboard in kneading him. He waved his hands at once and said, "Forget it, forget it. You''re a senior no matter what. I''ll drop this matter at that. I wonder what Family Head is looking for me for?"


    As the saying went, only capable people dared to be arrogant.


    Ye Yuan was so.


    Ye Yuan was like a savior to the present Xiao Family. Even if Xiao Changfeng was any angrier, he also had to swallow it back into his stomach.


    While he was a Xiao Family guest retainer, it did not mean that anyone could command him as they pleased. If he did not teach Xiao Changfeng a lesson, he would definitely become smug from success in the future and go overboard.


    The two people sat down once more as guest and host before Xiao Changfeng opened his mouth to ask, "Little Brother Ji, do you know why Rufeng he failed his assault of the Soul Sea Realm?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Could it be due to overly anxious for success?"


    Assaulting a major realm was not something fun. Not everyone would be as smooth sailing as Ye Yuan as well.


    To the vast majority of martial artists, assaulting each major realm was a major threshold in their lives.


    Very clearly, Xiao Rufeng did not cross it.


    Xiao Changfeng revealed a slightly surprised look and nodded, saying, "He wanted to win this Grand Pill Assembly too badly. That''s why he forcefully broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, wanting to reach Quasi-Alchemy King Realm. But sadly, he failed on the verge of success."


    "Oh? Can it be that there''s actually a Quasi-Alchemy King among the Tong Family''s juniors?" Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    Quasi-Alchemy King was nothing much to him. But in a place like the Fierce Gale World, to be able to become a Quasi-Alchemy King at a young age, his talent could be deduced from that much.


    Xiao Changfeng suddenly felt like he was like a clown. He beat around the bush, wanting Ye Yuan to ask why.


    But Ye Yuan''s reaction was too quick. He just slightly hinted a bit and Ye Yuan guessed the truth of the matter.


    This boy was too clever! What a freak!


    "That''s right. Actually, I came to find you to give you a reminder not to underestimate your opponent! The Alchemy Path strength of the Tong Family''s junior generation is very strong!" Xiao Changfeng said with a grave face.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan''s haughty performance made Tong Suyan unable to rest easy. And after he reported it to Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Changfeng felt worried too.


    This Grand Pill Assembly completely did not matter to Ye Yuan. But to the Xiao Family, it was a major pinnacle event that determined the family''s destiny. It was even more important than the Fierce Gale World invading the Endless World!


    Ye Yuan''s expression involuntarily became odd. He would never take the enemy lightly. But in terms of Alchemy Path, there was really no opponent worthy of him attaching importance to in the Lower Realms.


    Especially the so-called junior generation.


    "So, Family Head came to find me for this matter huh. Isn''t it making a great fuss over nothing? There are still two days to the Grand Pill Assembly. No matter how seriously I take things now, it also makes no difference to the matter," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "You can''t say that. There are many things that you can do. How about this, making use of these two days, I''ll make Ruyan interact more with you to learn from each other''s strong points while making up your weak points. I know that your strength is very powerful, but the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is just an entry level medicinal pill in the Grand Pill Assembly. To want to obtain victory, one must refine medicinal pills with even great difficulty!" Xiao Changfeng exhorted.


    Hearing Xiao Changfeng''s words, Ye Yuan''s expression was normal, but he was overjoyed in his heart.


    He was just fretting about being unable to find a chance to get close to Xiao Ruyan, but Xiao Changfeng delivered it to his doorstep himself.


    Ye Yuan nodded immediately and said, "Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill is only an entry level medicinal pill huh. Then it seems like the challenge level is a little high. Mm, exchanging pointers with Miss Ruyan for a while is also good, in case I find myself at a loss when the time comes."

 372 Will It Be a Little Better?

    Second level, Four Seas Building.


    Xiao Ruyan lightly bit her lip; the tips of her hair carrying sweat beads about to drip at any moment as she had a very strained look.


    With a puff, a cloud of green smoke appeared in the medicinal cauldron. Evidently, a furnace of useless pills was refined.


    "Why? Where is the problem?!"


    Xiao Ruyan used the back of her hands to wipe away the sweat on her forehead as she looked restless with anxiety.


    "Second Miss, better not force it. This Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill has already been confirmed as a medicinal pill that cannot be refined. Even Family Head can''t refine it. Second Miss . . ." Manager Tong consoled her by the side.


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes welled up with tears, but it stubbornly refused to flow out.


    "Since this Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was handed down, it''s impossible that it can''t be refined! There must be something wrong! I''ll try again! I can definitely refine it!" Xiao Ruyan said obstinately.


    Manager Tong heaved a sigh and said, "I know that Second Miss wish to let First Young Master''s body recover before the Grand Pill Assembly begins. But Second Miss, if your own soul force is overdrawn in these two days, wouldn''t that affect the overall situation even more?"


    "Humph! Didn''t that Ji Qing say that he can take on three by himself? Let him go alone then!" Xiao Ruyan was not swayed but pointed the spearhead at Ye Yuan instead.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan''s jesting action made her very displeased.


    "Miss Ruyan, can I presume that you''re praising me?" Ye Yuan''s voice suddenly sounded out.


    Xiao Ruyan saw Ye Yuan, and she became even more incensed and said huffily, "Your skin is really thick! A punk that doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know how strong Tong Yongchang''s strength is? Don''t think that there''s anything impressive about you refining a Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill. When you''re in front of Tong Yongchang, you''re nothing!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "The Tong Yongchang that Miss Ruyan is talking about is the Quasi-Alchemy King known as the Tong Family''s junior generation''s number one genius, right? How about this? During the Grand Pill Assembly, I''ll handle him and leave the rest to you all. How does Miss Ruyan feel?"


    "Leave to you? Truly overrating your own abilities! Enough crap! Don''t hinder me refining pills!"


    Xiao Ruyan already completely lost patience with Ye Yuan''s arrogance. She did not have time to bicker here.


    A middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster dealing with a Quasi-Alchemy King?


    Was this insulting people''s intelligence?


    "Oh? So, Miss Ruyan is currently refining pills huh. Then I''ll have to learn well by the side!" Ye Yuan suddenly became interested.


    He also really wanted to know what kind of standard this Xiao Ruyan was at.


    20 years of age was merely around the same as Nanfeng Ruoqing, but her strength was a full major realm higher than Nanfeng Ruoqing.


    While there was the support of the Xiao Family in-between this, Xiao Ruyan''s monstrousness need not be mentioned.


    The Huang and Xue Family taking fancy on Xiao Ruyan were most likely not just because she was one of the two beauties in the capital, but probably because of her unlimited potential in the Alchemy Path.


    To marry a future Quasi-Alchemy King, maybe even Alchemy King back home, this deal was worthwhile no matter how one looked at it.


    But Xiao Ruyan did not buy it. "Stay far away from me!"


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "Do you think that I want to curry favor with you? Isn''t it still because that old man of yours asked me to interact more with you, saying that it can improve everybody''s alchemy standards. Honestly, I''m unwilling to do so. My level is so high; what if you secretly learn from me?"


    Xiao Ruyan nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    Your level was high? How high?


    Refined a Tier 3 high-grade medicinal pill and you really think that you''re invincible?


    Do you have shame or not?!


    Xiao Ruyan confirmed with Manager Tong''s opinion. Seeing Manager Tong nod his head slightly, she knew that the first half of what Ye Yuan said was true.


    Since it was Lord Father who made him come, then it was not good to chase him out.


    "Stay at one side and watch properly! Don''t interfere with my refining! If you ruin my furnace of medicinal pills, see how I take care of you!" Xiao Ruyan warned.


    As for the latter half of Ye Yuan''s words, she chose to directly ignore it.


    Her old man was an Alchemy King. Did she need to secretly learn from Ye Yuan?


    After saying this, Xiao Ruyan began refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill once more.


    This Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill''s refinement was extremely challenging. Not only did it have a humongous expenditure on soul force, but it was also an immense burden on the alchemist''s essence energy.


    Xiao Ruyan already refined two furnaces of useless pills prior to this. Hence, not long after this refinement started, she appeared to be struggling very hard.


    But it was as if Xiao Ruyan was at loggerheads with herself; gritting her teeth hard and persevering.


    Ye Yuan watched Xiao Ruyan calmly. With his vision, he could naturally see through Xiao Ruyan''s depth.


    Although it was just this short while, Ye Yuan was also able to see that Xiao Ruyan''s foundation was rather solid.


    Even under a situation where the expenditure was so huge, not the slightest bit of error appeared in her refining.


    Just from this aspect, Xiao Ruyan was a qualified alchemist.


    Though they were both high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster Realm, Xiao Ruyan was way stronger compared to Qiu Zhi and the like.


    But very soon Ye Yuan discovered some problems appeared in Xiao Ruyan''s refinement.


    The control of fire was of utmost importance to the refinement of the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. One needed to continuously control the changes in temperature of the medicinal cauldron to adapt to the medicinal pill''s transformation.


    But Xiao Ruyan''s refinement did not have such changes. The medicinal cauldron''s temperature was consistent from beginning to end.


    Even if her refining technique was not wrong, due to the control of the medicinal pill''s temperature being lacking, she simply could not refine the pill either.


    "Miss Ruyan, do you think that if this medicinal pill was refined this way, it would be a little better?" Ye Yuan suddenly interjected.


    At the same time as he spoke, Ye Yuan already fired out a seal, submerging into the medicinal cauldron.


    Xiao Ruyan was currently fully engrossed in the refining. Having the procedure being disordered by this seal that arrived unexpectedly, she instantly had an impulse to kill Ye Yuan.


    But the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was already being refined. Giving up at this time would cause everything to fall short of final completion. She could only forcefully suppress the fury in her heart and glare viciously at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan stuck out his tongue to show his innocence and retreated to one side embarrassedly.


    But right at this moment, Xiao Ruyan''s expression changed! Because she discovered that being disrupted by Ye Yuan, not only was the medicinal pill was damaged, it became even more solidified instead!


    Xiao Ruyan clearly remembered that during the refinement previously, it seemed like she would lose total control over the medicinal pill at this time. Why did it have signs of the pill forming instead this time?


    Xiao Ruyan unwittingly recalled that scene earlier. When that seal of Ye Yuan''s hit over, it did not seem to have any change towards the medicinal pill, but rather . . . it seemed to have offset a portion of her essence energy!


    It was precisely because this portion of essence energy was canceled off that it seemed to have made some changes happen to the cauldron''s temperature.


    Could it be that . . . when refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill, one needed to grasp the cauldron temperature at all times according to the process of the medicinal pill''s refinement?


    This discovery made Xiao Ruyan pleasantly surprised!


    She started to experiment with increasing or decreasing a portion of essence energy to control the temperature of the medicinal cauldron.


    Grasping the temperature of the cauldron was an alchemist''s basic skill. But those able to truly grasp the cauldron temperature well were very rare.


    Just a short while passed, and Xiao Ruyan was already drenched in sweat.

 373 You All Are Bullying Me!

    Controlling fire was like cooking. Cooking a dish was easy, but cooking a delicious dish was very hard, especially those complex dishes.


    The control towards fire needed to be precise to the extreme.


    The Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill inside the medicinal cauldron was like a dish with exceedingly complex procedures. Wanting to cook it required an enormous expenditure of mental strength to control the fire.


    Xiao Ruyan''s expenditure previously was already huge. Now, it was naturally even more taxing.


    But Xiao Ruyan''s willpower made Ye Yuan view her in a completely different light from before. Under the situation where both essence energy and soul force reached the limits, she forcefully persisted.


    "Condense pill!" Xiao Ruyan gave a lovely cry. Mild detonating sounds came from within the medicinal cauldron.


    "Second Miss!"


    "Miss Ruyan!"


    When the medicinal pill formed, Xiao Ruyan finally could not sustain anymore and collapsed weakly. Ye Yuan''s figure swayed, and he caught Xiao Ruyan.


    "Second Miss, are you alright?" Manager Tong asked.


    Being hugged by Ye Yuan, Xiao Ruyan seemed to be oblivious to it, her gaze glued on the medicinal cauldron.


    "Manager . . . Tong . . ." Xiao Ruyan was already faint and weak, barely able to speak.


    But Manager Tong understood and hurriedly went to retrieve the medicinal pill.


    It greatly startled Manager Tong. A formed medicinal pill laid inside the medicinal cauldron quietly. Xiao Ruyan actually really refined successfully?


    "Second Miss! You really refined it! It''s really the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill!" Manager Tong carried the medicinal pill with both hands as he said agitatedly.


    Although Xiao Ruyan was feeble, a satisfied smile finally showed on her face. Then, her eyes closed, and she fainted away.


    . . . . . .


    No idea how long had passed, Xiao Ruyan woke up abruptly and sat up at once.


    "You . . . Why are you here?!" Xiao Ruyan exclaimed in shock.


    She sat up to have a look. Ye Yuan was currently playing with the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill that she refined with a disdainful look.


    Not knowing why, the rage inside Xiao Ruyan''s heart surged up all at once.


    Ye Yuan turned his head over and looked at Xiao Ruyan with a smile as he said, "Hey, if it wasn''t for me helping you, you can forget about participating in that whatever Grand Pill Assembly the day after tomorrow. You''re not thanking me and still yell at me?"


    Xiao Ruyan had a doubtful look. She did not know what Ye Yuan was talking about.


    But she discovered very quickly that not only was her essence energy already fully recovered, but even her soul force had also already reached the peak state.


    This . . . How was this possible?


    What on earth did he, Ji Qing, do? She clearly already overdrew her soul force when refining. It simply could not be recovered from without several days of recuperation. Why was she completely fine right now?


    "Did . . . Did you help me? What did you do? Why are my soul force and essence energy both fully recovered?" Xiao Ruyan asked with a frown.


    "Nothing much either. I just happened to know a kind of divine soul mystic art that allows me to use my divine soul to nourish other people''s divine soul, achieving the effect of perfect harmony. I''ve never tried it before. Trying it out today, the effects are indeed pretty good!" Ye Yuan said with a rather satisfied smile.


    It was just that when Xiao Ruyan heard that, her pretty face immediately flushed scarlet red. A thick killing intent enveloped Ye Yuan.


    How was this divine soul mystic art that Ye Yuan said? It was simply defiling her!


    Dao companions would dual-cultivate through such means, so as to nourish each other''s divine soul.


    When Xiao Ruyan heard that Ye Yuan used this sort of method to help her recover her divine soul, the killing intent in her heart could not be any greater.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan flew aside, while the table he was originally sitting at already turned into fine powder.


    "You lecher! Go to hell!" Xiao Ruyan''s voice was somewhat quivering.


    "Hey, hey, just making a joke! There isn''t any need to be like this, alright?" Ye Yuan cried out weirdly as he ran for his life.


    "Making a joke? Is this also called a joke? Don''t run! I''m going to kill you!" Xiao Ruyan was already thoroughly rampaging.


    "Hey, I''m really joking! If you continue to be like this, I won''t be courteous anymore!" Ye Yuan dodged a palm and yelled out weirdly once again.


    "Alright then! I want to see just how discourteous you will be!"


    With Xiao Ruyan''s Late-Stage Crystal Formation Realm strength, how could she be afraid of Ye Yuan, a Second Level Crystal Formation Realm''s threat?


    But the next moment, she crumbled.


    Her palm whistled forth, heading straight for Ye Yuan''s face. But right at this moment, a medicinal pill suddenly appeared in front of her. It was precisely the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill that she painstakingly refined!


    This Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was used to help Xiao Rufeng recover his strength. She would rather overdraw her soul force and being unable to take part and also had to refine it. How could she bear to destroy it?


    No choice, Xiao Ruyan could only avoid the medicinal pill, and attack Ye Yuan from another place.


    But no matter how she attacked, that medicinal pill could accurately block her, making her simply unable to attack!


    Xiao Ruyan was quivering with rage. Finally, she could not help bursting into sobs.


    "Ah . . . I say, don''t cry! If you let other people see this, they might think that I really did something to you." Once Ye Yuan saw Xiao Ruyan cry, he immediately knew that he went overboard.


    What men could not stand the most were women''s tears. Ye Yuan was no exception either.


    He did not have much experience coaxing girls and was actually at a complete loss on what to do for a moment.


    It was fine if he did not talk. When he spoke, Xiao Ruyan cried even more miserably.


    "Sob, sob, all bullying me! Xiao Family elders bully me. Huang Family and Tong Family, those two bastards, also bully me. Now, even you this stinking brat also bully me! Sob, sob . . ."


    Ye Yuan had an embarrassed face. He was really only joking around. To think that Xiao Ruyan looked so strong but was actually a woman in the end!


    "Cough, cough! I . . . I really didn''t do anything to you. Actually I only let you eat two medicinal pills. If you don''t believe it, you can try refining the medicinal strength. It shouldn''t have dissipated yet at present," Ye Yuan said somewhat bewilderedly.


    Xiao Ruyan''s sobbing sound finally quietened a little. She looked at Ye Yuan doubtfully and said, "Is what you said true?"


    "Aiya, wouldn''t you know once you test the medicinal strength? One pill is an essence energy recovery medicinal pill. The other pill is a soul force recovery medicinal pill," Ye Yuan explained.


    Xiao Ruyan revolved her essence energy and soul force half-believingly. Indeed, she sensed that there were two strands of medicinal strength circulating within her body.


    The medicinal strength was very gentle, making her feel very comfortable.


    Xiao Ruyan could not help being very astonished. What medicinal pill could actually have such a miraculous effect?


    She suddenly recalled that move from Ye Yuan when she was refining. Xiao Ruyan even thought that Ye Yuan was intentionally interrupting back then. Could it be that there was a purpose to doing so?


    He knew that the way I was controlling the fire had a problem, so he was giving me pointers?


    This . . . How was this possible?


    The Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill''s formula did not mention how to control the fire inside. Therefore, even Lord Father could not refine this Tier 3 medicinal pill.


    And this pill formula was passed down by Xiao Family''s ancestors. Other factions were completely unaware of the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill''s formula. How did Ji Qing know?


    Looking at Ye Yuan once again, Xiao Ruyan suddenly felt like she could not quite see through this youngster.


    "That seal, was it intentional?" Xiao Ruyan asked probingly.


    Ye Yuan had a blank face as he said, "What seal? What are you talking about?"


    "When I was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. Didn''t you struck out a seal?"


    "You''re talking about that? Actually, I was thinking of pulling a prank. To think that it actually failed. How boring!" Ye Yuan said, seemingly as if he was annoyed.

 374 Being Ignored

    Xiao Ruyan stared at Ye Yuan with her beautiful eyes, wanting to see if Ye Yuan was lying.


    But how could she discern Ye Yuan intentionally masking it?


    "You really didn''t do it on purpose?" Xiao Ruyan heaved a sigh in relief but also felt somewhat disappointed.


    "Really unintentional. It''s just that your luck was good!" Ye Yuan said sulkily.


    "You!" Xiao Ruyan nearly broke down.


    "Alright, alright, I''ll give you the medicinal pill. Since you''re already fine, then I''ll leave first. Still want to make us interact more? Isn''t it just at this level? Refining a medicinal pill but nearly crippled yourself at the end."


    As Ye Yuan was talking, he exited the Four Seas Building and did not see the murderous gaze from behind.


    Ye Yuan naturally did it on purpose. This place was not the Endless World. He did not wish to stand out too much.


    If Ye Yuan was willing, he could refine a High-Grade Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. But Xiao Rufeng had nothing to do with him. Helping Xiao Ruyan up to this step was already doing what was humanly possible to help.


    Although he knew that Xiao Ruyan would surely cast her mind back to this, that was not important. He would just let her go and guess then.


    . . . . . .


    Two days later, the day of the Grand Pill Assembly finally arrived.


    What Ye Yuan never thought of was that the Grand Pill Assembly was actually held in the Fierce Gale World''s Alchemist Association Headquarters!


    Ever since going to the Alchemist Association once in the State of Qin, Ye Yuan had never stepped foot in here again.


    "Little Brother Ji, I''ll have to trouble you for the Grand Pill Assembly this time!" Xiao Rufeng clasped his hands towards Ye Yuan.


    This was still Ye Yuan''s first time meeting this Xiao Family''s number one genius. He looked well-mannered and soft-spoken with a rather refined demeanor, giving people a good impression at first sight.


    But Xiao Rufeng''s complexion was clearly not good. Although he consumed the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill, the low-grade Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was only barely able to help him consolidate his foundation and nurture his essence. It was only able to alleviate the sequela from failing to assault realm.


    If Ye Yuan made a move to help him refine a high-grade or even superior-grade medicinal pill, Xiao Rufeng would surely be able to recover to his peak condition right now.


    But Ye Yuan had no such plans. The Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was indeed an extremely hard to refine Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill. Compared to the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, the difficulty level was way higher.


    If Ye Yuan was freakish enough to be able to refine any medicinal pill, it would be hard to avoid drawing the suspicions of an observant and conscientious person.


    During this Grand Pill Assembly, Ye Yuan did not plan on going all out either. Just winning his own match was fine.


    Thinking about it, dealing with the Tong Family''s weakest genius, taking the other party down shouldn''t be something difficult, right?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "First Young Master is too kind. Since Ji Qing is Xiao Family''s guest retainer and is drawing Xiao Family''s salary, I naturally have to put forth my strength for the Xiao Family."


    Xiao Rufeng smile and said, "There''s no need to be so polite, Ji Qing. This foolish elder brother is a few years older. Brother Ji can just call me Brother Xiao."


    Ye Yuan did not decline either and said with cupped hands, "Brother Xiao!"


    At this time, an unfriendly gaze came from behind Xiao Rufeng. Who could it be but Xiao Ruyan?


    But today, within Xiao Ruyan''s eyes, other than displeasure towards Ye Yuan, there were a few parts additional of uncertainty.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan had became mysterious in her eyes.


    "Ruyan, your eyes are really discerning! To actually be able to find an Alchemy Path genius like Brother Ji. Truly, the heaven doesn''t want my Xiao Family to perish!" Xiao Rufeng said to his sister.


    Xiao Ruyan shook her head and said, "So what if I found him? We''re bound to lose the match with Tong Yongchang without any doubt. And I don''t have confidence in winning Tong Yongshou either. Even Tong Yonghui is also somebody with uncommon strength. Whether or not Ji Qing can win him is another matter altogether!"


    Very clearly, even if they had Ye Yuan, Xiao Ruyan was not optimistic about today''s match.


    Listening to Xiao Ruyan''s words, Xiao Rufeng''s brows were also locked tightly together. Regarding this match that gambled with their family''s destiny, the two of them could not afford to lose!


    In a twinkle, the people in front of the association''s gates gradually increased.


    This match today not only concerned just the two Xiao and Tong family''s fate, but it also involved the enormous change in the capital''s alchemy world arrangements in the days to come.


    Basically, there was already nobody who was optimistic about the Xiao Family.


    Now, many families were itching to have a go to try and replace the Xiao Family''s position.


    Medicinal pills was a business with even more extravagant profits in the Fierce Gale World.


    The Fierce Gale World''s resources were scarce. The price of medicinal pills was several times of the Endless World! There were even some rare medicinal pills that could sell at a sky-high price.


    Such a large market, how could everyone possibly watch it slip by them?


    "Oh? Isn''t this the Xiao Family''s number one genius, Xiao Rufeng? I thought that you''d be bedbound, unable to get up. Didn''t think that you actually came!" A haughty voice was heard.


    Xiao Rufeng''s face fell when he saw the arrival. He said with a cold snort, "Tong Yongchang, don''t get too smug!"


    This person was shockingly the Tong Family''s number genius, Tong Yongchang!


    But Tong Yongchang was even more pleased with himself as he said, "Hur hur, of course I am feeling smug! I say, you lying on the bed is already pretty good. You don''t have to come out and embarrass yourself. But now, you just have to run in front of me to make a spectacle of yourself. Do you think I will no feel smug? What''s this called? This is called delivering your face here for me to smack! Hahaha!"


    "You!" Xiao Rufeng was so enraged that his entire body was shaking.


    But because of his failed breakthrough, being able to step on stage today was already pretty good. It was simply impossible to be Tong Yongchang''s match.


    It unwittingly gave people a feeling of a hero being caught in difficult circumstances.


    In truth, with Xiao Rufeng''s talent, advancing to Quasi-Alchemy King was something inevitable. Watching helplessly as the Grand Pill Assembly got increasingly closer, and yet he still could not break through after so long. Finally, it made him unable to restrain himself from taking the plunge to forcefully break through.


    It was just that he did not receive divine favor and failed his breakthrough.


    "Oh, right. I heard that you all even went around recruiting guest retainers for this competition. Your Xiao Family is really too tragic, to actually not even be able to pool together three alchemists to come on stage. Mm? Is this brat the replacement you guys found? Looks only so-so . . ." Tong Yongchang looked at Ye Yuan with a half smile.


    But Ye Yuan did not take notice of Tong Yongchang''s derision. His attention was placed entirely on the person behind Tong Yongchang.


    That person''s eyes were somewhat dull, clearly different from normal people as if he did not have his own thoughts.


    This person was none other than precisely Ye Yuan''s senior, Du Cheng!


    Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed his own agitated emotions, with the expression on his face being as usual. His eyes did not look in Du Cheng''s direction either.


    But regarding Tong Yongchang''s words, not a single word sank in.


    But in Tong Yongchang''s perspective, his mockery was like a stone falling into the ocean; it was utterly disregarded.


    This made him unable to quite preserve his face.


    "I''m talking to you, punk. Didn''t you hear?" Tong Yongchang said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan ignored his words once again . . .


    "Hahaha! Xiao Rufeng, turns out that your family found a fool to take up the gauntlet! I think you all should just directly concede today. What''s there still to compete?" Tong Yongchang wanted to use laughter to resolve his embarrassment.


    Except . . . everyone looked at him like they were looking at a fool.


    Because no matter how foolish the Xiao Family was, they also would not find a fool to take part in such an important Grand Pill Assembly.


    Seeing nobody answer, Tong Yongchang''s face finally fell, and he made a move, grabbing towards Ye Yuan.


    This time, Ye Yuan moved . . .

 375 Tian Jis Horse Racing Strategy

    Tong Yongchang had the intentions of embarrassing Ye Yuan. The grab act was not held back at all.


    But his vision blurred and Ye Yuan disappeared without a trace.


    Tong Yongchang was secretly alarmed as a sense of impending danger assailed from behind. Turning around with a jerk, but there was nobody there.


    Still from the back, a sense of danger pounced once again!


    Tong Yongchang turned around once more. There was still nobody there!


    Everyone looked at him with strange looks, wanting to laugh but unable to laugh.


    Wanting to laugh was because Tong Yongchang looked like he was afraid of even his own shadow; it was very hilarious.


    They were unable to laugh was because Ye Yuan''s movements were like that of ghosts and goblins; it was entirely unlike the movements that a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist would have!


    While Tong Yongchang was an alchemist, he was a bona fide Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. He actually could not even touch Ye Yuan!


    "Are you looking for me?" With a flicker of his body, Ye Yuan appeared before Tong Yongchang''s once again.


    Tong Yongchang''s face fell and had a feeling like he was being toyed with. Within this capital, there were not many people who dared to play tricks on him!


    "Good! Excellent! You''ve successfully infuriated me! I''ll make the Xiao Family die very horribly! Who knows if when the time comes, should they be thanking you for fighting on their behalf, or hate you for making them not even have the slightest thread of hope!" Tong Yongchang laughed coldly and said to Ye Yuan.


    "Haha! Talk again about winning; what the use of talking big here?" Ye Yuan did not care a whit.


    Tong Yongchang snorted coldly, and then led Du Cheng and the Tong Family members into the association building.


    Ye Yuan did not turn around but felt quite a few eyes staring fixedly on him. Turning around to have a look, he indeed saw Xiao Ruyan looking at him with an unkind expression.


    "So your movements were actually so quick. Did you intentionally give way to me the day before?" Xiao Ruyan said.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Already said that I was just joking. Why take it seriously?"


    "You can still laugh?! You''ve already thoroughly infuriated Tong Yongchang just now. He''ll definitely exert all his effort this time. We have even less of a chance now!" Xiao Ruyan grumbled.


    "Ruyan! At this time, the Xiao Family should be even more united as one! How can you question Brother Ji? Brother Ji entered the Xiao Family at a time of crisis. It''s sufficient to show his sincerity. Even if the Xiao Family loses today, we should also treat Brother Ji kindly and generously!" Xiao Rufeng hurriedly stopped and glared fiercely at Xiao Ruyan.


    "Ruyan is insensible. Please don''t get angry, Brother Ji," said Xiao Ruyan, apologizing to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Haha, Brother Xiao is too kind. I joined the Xiao Family originally just to find a place to stay. I didn''t think so much. But since I''ve already joined, there''s naturally no reason to go back on my word."


    Although he suspected that Xiao Rufeng was just putting on a show, Ye Yuan did not mind.


    One should say that the anguish in Xiao Rufeng''s heart right now could only be more intense compared to Xiao Ruyan. But he could take the opportunity to rope in Ye Yuan so shrewdly and subtlety. It was truly the bearing of a fierce and ambitious person.


    Xiao Ruyan pursed her mouth but did not make a sound.


    Following this, the Xiao Family''s group too entered the association building.


    The Alchemist Association Headquarters occupied a huge territory. When the group of people arrived in a great hall, the place was already filled with distinguished guests.


    Ye Yuan took his seat and noticed several gazes looking over at him provocatively, and he could not help but to feel gloomy.


    You guys were clearly the ones stirring trouble. Why did you make it seem like I owed you guys?


    What the hell?!


    But thinking about it, those few people should be the Tong Family''s junior generation.


    And on that note, the strength of Tong Family''s junior generation was indeed way stronger than the Xiao Family''s.


    Ye Yuan slightly released his sense and discovered quite a number of high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters, far beyond those few currently stepping onto the stage.


    Looking at the Xiao Family''s side in contrast, apart from Xiao Rufeng and sister, there were barely any Alchemy Grandmasters. Thinking about it, their standards should not be much. Otherwise, they would not have needed to find Ye Yuan this guest retainer either.


    Ye Yuan''s attention was still on Du Cheng. He traveled thousands of miles, deep behind enemy lines, for the sake of saving this bunch of fellow apprentices.


    Now that he finally saw one of them after experiencing life and death, waves surged slightly within Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Right at this moment, the entire great hall suddenly quietened down. Evidently, an important figure had arrived.


    Ye Yuan did not recognize a single person here. He only knew one, and that was Xiao Changfeng.


    But Ye Yuan saw that he was currently escorting an elderly person. But that old man looked rather impatient.


    Similarly an Alchemy King powerhouse, Xiao Changfeng actually had a sort of groveling attitude, making Ye Yuan sigh unceasingly.


    When the family declined, even if one was an Alchemy King powerhouse, they also would not have a backbone!


    In the martial artist world, it had always been the powerhouses'' game. Nobody would pity the weak.


    On the other side, a middle-aged man with a similar age to Xiao Changfeng also accompanied an old man. But the two of them were laughing and talking, clearly the relation of equals.


    That person was naturally the Tong Family''s family head: Tong Fangshuo.


    After chatting a few sentences, Xiao Changfeng and Tong Fangshuo both returned to their family''s seats, while the two elderly men sat on the seats in the center.


    But a seat was still reserved in the middle of the row in the center. Clearly, there was still another even more important character that had not arrived.


    Xiao Changfeng sat between Xiao Rufeng and Ye Yuan, while the other family elders sat at the back.


    After taking his seat, Xiao Changfeng suddenly said to Ye Yuan, "Little Brother Ji, in this match, you will face Tong Wenchang. Rufeng and Ruyan will face Tong Wenshou and Tong Wenhui respectively! Facing Tong Wenchang, you just have to do your best. Victory or defeat isn''t important, alright?"


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart that this was clearly Xiao Changfeng not believing in his strength, wanting to use the method of Tian Ji''s horse racing strategy to win this competition.


    Towards Xiao Changfeng''s arrangements, Ye Yuan did not have any conflicting thoughts. After all, he did not wish to be too conspicuous.


    In this kind of life and death juncture grand competition, hoping for Xiao Changfeng to entrust all of his hopes onto an outsider like Ye Yuan was clearly not something very realistic.


    In comparison, Xiao Rufeng and Xiao Ruyan, the brother and sister pair were his biological children. They were naturally more dependable.


    Previously, the Xiao Family was finding guest retainers impatiently because Xiao Rufeng was confined to his bed. The Xiao Family only had Xiao Ruyan one person left. Now, since Xiao Ruyan refined the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill, Xiao Changfeng naturally believed in his own son more.


    Although Xiao Rufeng was not in his optimal condition right now, wanting to win Tong Wenshou should not be something hard.


    The Tong Family sent out three people to battle. Tong Wenhui''s strength was the weakest, leaving Xiao Ruyan to deal with him. The assurance was naturally much greater too.


    One should say that under the situation where Ye Yuan''s formidable strength was excluded, such an arrangement was the most rational!


    Ye Yuan did not have any mentality about not being able to get past losing to Tong Wenchang. He was a reincarnated Alchemy Emperor. What was he being serious for against a puny little Quasi-Alchemy King?


    Previously with Tong Wenchang, it was at most considered squabbling with words. Ye Yuan was not that petty to such an extent.


    Anyway, Xiao Changfeng did not place his hopes on him either. He just had to hoodwink him a little, and that would do.


    Thinking this through, Ye Yuan was even less serious about this Grand Pill Assembly. He was planning out in his mind on how to get close to Du Cheng.


    Ye Yuan just nodded his head slightly at Xiao Changfeng to indicate that he got it.

 376 The Forsaken Youth

    After a short while, an old man slowly walked out from the back and sat down on the centermost seat.


    Everybody stood up at this time and bowed. They said, "We pay respects to Sovereign Star Abyss!"


    The old man nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, have a seat. This old man, I, only wished to come and have a look at what genius descendants have appeared in our capital these few years. This matter about judging, old me won''t be taking part in. You all just decide it on your own. I''ll be watching everybody''s performance in today''s match and take one person as my disciple."


    When Sovereign Star Abyss''s words were spoken, everyone revealed ecstatic looks.


    "What did I hear? Sovereign Star Abyss is going to accept disciples! I didn''t hear wrongly, right?"


    "It has already been decades since Sovereign Star Abyss has accepted any disciples. Today, he actually wants to accept a disciple out of the blue! What on earth happened?"


    "A sovereign''s disciple! As long as one can step onto this track, they will have a meteoric rise!"


    When Ye Yuan saw this Sovereign Star Abyss, his eyes also shrunk slightly. This was the first sovereign level powerhouse that he met!


    When martial artists reached the Divine Traversing Realm, they could be titled as sovereigns. That was also a sovereign level powerhouse!


    The meaning of a sovereign level powerhouse was extraordinary. In regards to the Lower Realms, they were practically pinnacle existences!


    This old man was apparently a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse. More importantly, he was even an Alchemy Sovereign!


    An Alchemy Sovereign on the Alchemy Path was similarly considered as reaching a high level in proficiency.


    Only alchemy sovereign powerhouses had the minimum qualifications to enter Ye Yuan''s arcane eyes!


    Due to the disparity in strength between Ye Yuan and Sovereign Star Abyss being too great, he completely could not see through the other party''s depth.


    But Ye Yuan had a sort of feeling that this old man was not simple!


    Seemingly detecting Ye Yuan''s gaze, Sovereign Star Abyss''s gaze also looked towards Ye Yuan. That deeply profound gaze actually nearly made Ye Yuan collapse uncontrollably.


    Ye Yuan hastily moved his gaze, secretly sighing with vicissitudes of emotions.


    Right now, his soul force was still too weak. The other party just swept a glance lightly like that, and it practically made him lose his mind.


    "Rufeng, Ruyan, the two of you have to perform well this time. Even if you''re defeated, you also have to obtain Sovereign Star Abyss''s favor! As long as you become his disciple, our Xiao Family can likewise protect our family business!" Xiao Changfeng said softly with visible joy on his face.


    The pair nodded slightly. But Ye Yuan sighed lightly in his heart.


    This Xiao Changfeng was evidently an experienced and cunning person. But he was too conservative with this sort of major matter. It might not have a good outcome!


    Firstly, this method of Tian Jian racing horse strategy was actually a very negative way of dealing with things. It was equivalent to admitting that their own family was not as strong as the other party.


    Giving up fighting with the other party''s strongest person and letting the strongest person on their side deal with the Tong Family''s number two figure, even if they won in the end, there would not be anyone cheering for the Xiao Family either.


    Xiao Family would obtain victory, but lose the respect of others.


    And Xiao Changfeng making his own son and daughter perform well to draw the attention of Sovereign Star Abyss was similarly a method that lost one''s drive.


    The Xiao Family was in an inferior position to begin with; the family did not know how to risk it all to fight, but entrust their hopes onto another person instead. Ye Yuan could not agree with this way of doing things.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan had a feeling that that Tong Wenhui and Tong Wenshou might not be easy to deal with.


    Truly, the older the person was, the smaller the guts were.


    "Alright, the once in a decade Grand Pill Assembly is about to begin. Most of the people present here know this old man, but this old man better still introduces himself first. I''m the Alchemist Association''s First Elder, Yang Xiu. The Grand Pill Assembly this time will be hosted by me."


    Speaking up to here, Yang Xiu cleared his throat. Xiao Changfeng and Tong Fangshuo got up at the same time and said, "I''ll have to trouble Sovereign Star Abyss and Elder Yang."


    Yang Xiu nodded slightly and continued, "Sovereign Star Abyss has already spoken. The juniors of the Xiao and Tong families have good fortune. The sovereign has not taken in any disciples for close to 50 years already. This time can be considered as an epoch-making event! Alright, enough superfluous words. The two Xiao and Tong families have already sent the name list of the battles to my hands. I''ll now announce the battle sequence."


    Speaking up to here, Yang Xiu looked at the battle name list in his hands, his eyes involuntarily swept over Xiao Changfeng.


    Xiao Changfeng''s heart palpitated but did not say anything. He naturally knew that doing it this way was inappropriate. But this was also a solution that could not be helped.


    Yang Xiu was silent for a moment, and continued, "The first battle, Xiao Family''s Xiao Ruyan against the Tong Family''s Tong Wenhui!"


    When these words were uttered, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    "What? Xiao Ruyan is actually facing the Tong Family''s weakest Tong Wenhui? What kind of situation is this?"


    "Heh heh, to think that Xiao Changfeng actually pulled this sort of underhanded trick. Looks like the Xiao Family''s fortune is over."


    "Yeah. Looking at this, Xiao Family has already given up on the battle with Tong Wenchang, leaving Xiao Rufeng and sister to go deal with the weaker Tong Wenshou and Tong Wenhui."


    Tong Fangshuo was also a little stunned. But he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha! Xiao Changfeng, you''re really deteriorating the older you get! The Xiao Family declining in your hands is also something within reason! But if you think that victory is within your grasp like this, then you''re too na?ve!"


    Xiao Changfeng was aware that reason was not on his side and did not respond to Tong Fangshuo. He looked straight ahead, no idea where he was looking at.


    Yang Xiu coughed lightly and continued, "Silence, silence! The second match, Xiao Rufeng against Tong Wenshou. The third match, Ji Qing versus Tong Wenchang!"


    "That boy is really pitiable, to actually have to face Tong Wenchang. I reckon that he''ll be defeated horribly."


    "Hehe, what''s pitiful about him isn''t this! I heard that his strength isn''t bad. A middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster that can actually refine Tier 3 high-level medicinal pills. He joined the Xiao Family in their moment of crisis but was directly forsaken by Xiao Changfeng. That''s his pitiable part."


    "Using such a method, even if they won, it will also be winning through unorthodox means. It''s just sad for this young man."


    Many people felt sorry for Ye Yuan. A middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster battling a Quasi-Alchemy King. What chances of victory was there?


    There were also many who felt disappointed. They originally thought that they could see Xiao Rufeng and Tong Wenchang''s summit battle. Who knew that there was no opportunity?


    Although Tong Wenchang was a Quasi-Alchemy King, he had only just advanced to the realm of Quasi-Alchemy King not long ago. In truth, there was still a chance to win, though this chance was very minuscule.


    Xiao Rufeng had enjoyed Xiao Family''s limitless resources. Adding in his talent, he had always been keeping in pace with Tong Wenchang these few years.


    It was just that Tong Wenchang stepped into Quasi-Alchemy King Realm a step before Xiao Rufeng. That was why Xiao Rufeng appeared a level weaker.


    But now, the Xiao Family retreating without fighting made many people present feel disappointed.


    Yang Xiu continued and said, "The rules of the Grand Pill Assembly will be the same as past years. I won''t be repeating them. Now, starting the first match: Xiao Ruyan versus Tong Wenhui!"


    On the stage, the Xiao and Tong two families faced each other across a great distance. All sorts of alchemy medicinal herbs, wares, and medicinal cauldrons were also placed between them.


    Xiao Ruyan took in a deep breath and stepped up.


    Not knowing why, before Xiao Ruyan stepped onto the stage, her gaze unconsciously looked over towards Ye Yuan.


    And Ye Yuan was also presently looking at her and gave her a hand gesture, "Miss Ruyan, good luck!"

 377 Xiao Ruyan Lost?

    Although Ye Yuan''s words were cheers, no matter how she looked at it, it somewhat lacked some sincerity.


    But not knowing why, Xiao Ruyan''s originally rather nervous feelings actually calmed down under Ye Yuan''s encouragement.


    She shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan and came to the fighting area.


    "Tch. Good intentions taken for granted!" Ye Yuan muttered to himself resentfully.


    At this time, a quasi-alchemy king came to the arena. Clearly, he was the person maintaining order on-site, while the final ruling was still by Yang Xiu and the other six alchemy kings.


    As for Sovereign Star Abyss, he shut his eyes from the start just now, looking as if he was snoozing, like everything here had nothing to do with him at all.


    "The first match, constituting medicinal pills! There will be people delivering a hundred types of spirit medicines right away. The two of you need to differentiate these hundred types of spirit medicines and freely match these hundred kinds of spirit medicines together, forming pill formulas. Finally, the one who composes the most pill formulas win!" That quasi-alchemy king explained.


    There was a long table in the center. When the quasi-alchemy king finished talking, some apprentice looking people brought up stalk after stalk of spirit medicines. There were tier 2, tier 3, so on and so forth.


    Xiao Ruyan and Tong Wenhui each respectively went to one side of the arena and started to differentiate the spirit medicines.


    This was actually testing the fundamental skills of the alchemist. Speedily and accurately identifying spirit medicines was an essential skill for alchemists.


    But in this sort of Grand Pill Assembly that determined the fates of two families, identifying the spirit medicines were clearly not an easy matter.


    It was true that the two people could differentiate the vast majority of the spirit medicines. But there were definitely a handful of rarely seen spirit medicines that the pair had not even seen before.


    Under this sort of situation, one would have to see if the alchemist''s foundation was sturdy or not, and if they could identify them through the records in the books.


    "Old Liu, in your view, which of the two of them will win?" Yang Xiu asked an old man beside him.


    This old man was similarly an Alchemy King powerhouse; Alchemist Association''s Elder Liu Han.


    Liu Han said, "Ruyan''s, this lass''s, talent is exceedingly high. Her future accomplishments are boundless. It''s just too bad that she was dragged down by the Xiao Family. Tong Wenhui is seven to eight years old older than that lass, but his foundation is more solid than hers. In my opinion, the outcome should be around 50/50."


    Yang Xiu nodded and said, "Actually, I feel that the Xiao Family only has Ruyan, this lass, that can give Tong Wenchang a run for his money. Rufeng that boy is already beaten by Wenchang. If Ruyan this lass performs well, maybe she can let Lord Star Abyss take her in as his disciple."


    Liu Han concurred and said, "These two brats have been at loggerheads for so many years. This time, they finally will determine the winner. But I heard that Rufeng this boy was able to take part in the Grand Pill Assembly today because Ruyan that lass refined the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. Looks like this lass''s talent is even above her brother''s!"


    Yang Xiu exclaimed in surprise, "There''s actually such a thing? No wonder! Assaulting cultivation realm and failing is the most troublesome. Although the Xiao Family has the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill''s complete pill formula, they were missing the refinement method. To think Ruyan that lass actually successfully refined it!"


    When Xiao Ruyan and Tong Wenhui started, the others were all discussing fervently. There was a sound isolating formation around the arena. The two of them could not hear it.


    But quite a few people thought highly of Xiao Ruyan''s potential. Although, in terms of strength, Xiao Ruyan might not be able to beat Tong Wenhui.


    However, the Xiao Family could not afford to lose!


    They had to win the first two matches completely. Otherwise, there was only the outcome of being eliminated.


    The two people''s identifying speed was remarkably quick in the beginning. But towards the back, the two people''s speed visibly slowed down, especially Xiao Ruyan''s.


    Her speed was noticeably slower than Tong Wenhui.


    Of course, the most important thing was still the composition of medicinal pills!


    As long as the medicinal pills composed on one side was more than the other, even if the spirit medicines were not fully identified, they would still win.


    Xiao Ruyan deduced over and over again, repeatedly evaluating numerous times, before writing down the answers at the last moment.


    Tong Wenhui was not any better. The two people handed over their answers at practically the same time.


    The answers were sealed within jade slips. Both parties did not know how many answers the other person wrote.


    The quasi-alchemy king hosting passed the sealed answers to Yang Xiu. The seven judges started to examine and verify the answers.


    Yang Xiu placed the two person''s jade slips into a spirit artifact. Very quickly, the contents inside the jade slip were projected onto a wall.


    "Xiao Ruyan wrote 93 types of spirit medicine names. Tong Wenhui wrote 95 types of spirit medicine names. In the match regarding the spirit medicines'' names, Tong Wenhui wins by a small margin. Now, we''ll take a look at the pill formulas that the two of them have written." Yang Xiu''s voice sounded out sluggishly. Everyone held their breaths.


    While talking, Yang Xiu inserted another jade slip into the spirit artifact again. The contents of the jade slip likewise appeared on the wall.


    Yang Xiu pointed to the newly projected contents and said, "The newly projected contents are the model answers that the six elders present and I spent two nights to enact. All the possible combinations of these hundred types of spirit medicines are all on here. Next, let us cross-reference then one by one."


    Inferring pill formulas according to these one hundred types of spirit medicines, the pill formulas written out might not all be able to be refined out. It was just a theoretical answer.


    The creation of a type of pill formula needed to experience extremely complex experiments. It might only succeed through countless failures.


    There might even be the possibility that it would not succeed at all!


    These one hundred types of spirit medicines, with combinations of pairs and trios, it could theoretically infer out thousands upon thousands of answers.


    But because of the various spirit medicine''s attributes and differences in medicinal properties, there were but scarcely several dozen kinds that genuinely had the possibility of forming a pill formula.


    And among these scanty few dozen types, it was already pretty good for one type to be able to form a pill formula in the end after going through numerous tests.


    But even the pill formula that could ultimately be formed might not be a useful pill formula.


    Some pill formulas might be very heaven-defying, but there were pill formulas that had very insignificant effects on martial artists; utterly without value.


    Hence, each and every kind of ready-made pill formula was exceptionally precious.


    Other than those common pills, as long as it was a pill formula that had some slight value, each major faction would treasure it greatly.


    And each development of a new kind of pill formula was also riddled with difficulties.


    Especially the higher the rank of the medicinal pill, the more valuable the expended medicinal herbs naturally was. How could the average alchemist have that level of financial resources to develop new pill formulas?


    Only those titanic factions could have the possibility of developing new pill formulas.


    Just like the Tranquil Cloud Sect, a large group of Quasi-Alchemy Kings engaged in it for a long time, and only just developed some Tier 1 medicinal pills.


    The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out were roughly the same as the things that they developed. Back then, it was like stepping on their tails.


    "There are a total of 63 types of pills in our answer list. Xiao Ruyan wrote down 38 types of pills, and Tong Wenhui wrote 40 types. Now we''ll be comparing the correct answers now."


    Yang Xiu started to match Xiao Ruyan and Tong Wenhui''s answers with the correct answers one by one.


    The result was that Xiao Ruyan only got one pill formula wrong, while Tong Wenhui had three wrong. It was actually a draw in the end!


    And under the situation where it was a draw, they would look at who wrote the most spirit medicines.


    "Since the two of them wrote down the same number of pill formulas, then the one who wins in the end is . . ." Yang Xiu was about to announce the results.


    "Wait a minute!" Ye Yuan suddenly got up and interrupted Yang Xiu''s words.

 378 What He Said Is Right!

    Hearing Yang Xiu announced the results, the expressions of Xiao Changfeng and son were very ugly.


    Getting off on the wrong foot, the first match was already a loss. Clearly, it would be a tremendous blow to the Xiao Family.


    Furthermore, Xiao Ruyan only lost the match because of a slight disadvantage. It would be hard to avoid affecting her competition later at the back.


    But right then, Ye Yuan suddenly stood up.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Yang Xiu furrowed his brows and said unhappily, "Whatever it is, wait until after I announce the results, then talk. Sit down for me!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "My Lord, the winner of this match should be the Xiao Family!"


    Yang Xiu''s expression turned sullen. His tone became cold as he said, "Are you questioning if the seven of us are partial to the Tong Family?"


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m just taking the matter on its merits. Tong Wenhui got four answers wrong. Hence, this round should be his loss."


    "Harrumph! A load of crap! Just now, I matched it correspondingly to the model answers. How can it be wrong? Family Head Xiao didn''t even say anything, how can a junior like yourself be allowed to talk drivel here?" Yang Xiu said with a cold snort.


    Xiao Changfeng''s brows also knitted slightly. He did not understand why Ye Yuan was so extreme and could not help urging, "Little Brother Ji, I know that you hope for the Xiao Family to win, but it''s better to not say these sort of words."


    He naturally wished to see the Xiao Family win. But in front of so many people, the Alchemist Association could not possibly play favoritism and commit irregularities. Ye Yuan doing this was truly a bit unreasonable.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said coolly, "The path of alchemy is ever-changing. Even if the few of you are Alchemy King powerhouses, how can you dare say that the answers that you came up with are the model answers? I don''t even have the right to give my opinion?"


    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, the expressions of the few alchemy kings from the Alchemist Association changed, their faces revealing unhappiness.


    And that Sovereign Star Abyss''s eyelids quivered, then returned to normal right away.


    "Xiao Changfeng, is this person that you found intentionally here to cause trouble? Can it be that the seven of us Alchemy Kings added together can''t even match this Alchemy Grandmaster brat? Then what''s there still to compete in this Grand Pill Assembly for? Your Xiao Family can just directly win!" But Yang Xiu ignored Ye Yuan and directly questioned Xiao Changfeng.


    Xiao Changfeng''s expression changed. These words from Ye Yuan offended all of the judges. What was there to compete later at the back?


    "Ji Qing! Stop rambling blather! Sit down for me!" Xiao Changfeng said solemnly.


    At this time, he could not help suspecting Ye Yuan''s motives. Jumping out to challenge the judges at this time, wasn''t this deliberately ruining the Xiao Family?


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted and he turned his head to look at Xiao Changfeng, his eyes becoming cold.


    Not knowing why, when Xiao Changfeng saw Ye Yuan''s eyes, he involuntarily felt a chill from the bottom of his heart and actually did not dare to meet his gaze.


    "This boy . . ." Xiao Changfeng secretly broke into a sweat in fear.


    "If you use a man, don''t suspect him. If you suspect him, don''t use him! If Family Head feels that I''m messing around, I can withdraw right away!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, but his tone became icy.


    He was helping the Xiao Family fight for benefits, but Xiao Changfeng actually helped outsiders to reproach him.


    Even if he knew Xiao Changfeng''s concerns, Ye Yuan also involuntarily felt bitterly disappointed.


    Xiao Changfeng, an exalted Alchemy King, was actually pressed down by Ye Yuan''s aura for a short while.


    "Hahaha! Xiao Changfeng, you''re really deteriorating the longer you live! Did you find such a punk to amuse everybody? The answers derived by the seven strongest Alchemy King elders in the association are all not correct answers. Is there anything funnier than this?" Tong Fanshuo was also fanning the flames by the side.


    Just as the situation was quite in a stalemate, a rather weak voice sounded out, "Lord Father, I believe that Ji Qing he wouldn''t talk nonsense! I . . . I''d like to get an answer!"


    It was precisely Xiao Ruyan!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Ruyan rather surprisedly. He did not think that this lass would actually come forward to defend him at this time.


    Even if Xiao Ruyan was a rarely seen genius, being surrounded by a group of Alchemy Kings, she was still somewhat nervous in her heart.


    But having experienced the matters of these few days, especially Ye Yuan''s performance when refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill, Xiao Ruyan had a feeling that perhaps what Ye Yuan said was really not wrong!


    Originally, Ye Yuan was already planning on flicking his sleeves and leaving. But he dismissed that sort of thought at this moment.


    Xiao Ruyan''s words stirred up a huge commotion once more. Two Alchemy Grandmasters were questioning the Alchemist Association''s seven great Alchemy King elders; this . . . was way too astounding!


    Many people looked towards Xiao Ruyan with strange eyes. Could this lass already be subdued by the brat called Ji Qing?


    "Heh heh, this Grand Pill Assembly has been conducted for so many times. As per His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s instructions, it has always been our Alchemist Association hosting it. No problem had ever appeared before. To think that this time, we''d actually bump into two juniors who don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! This match is won by Tong Wenhui! If you''re unwilling to submit, you can go and lodge a complaint to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor! Now, carry on with the next match!" Yang Xiu announced the results very domineeringly.


    The Alchemist Association hosting the Grand Pill Assembly was the instructions of the Wind Emperor. Yang Xiu had the authority to decide the victor and loser.


    Moreover, he touched his heart and felt that what he did was unquestionable. He was not afraid of the Xiao Family going to the Wind Emperor to lodge a complaint.


    Furthermore, after today, whether or not the Xiao Family could survive in the capital was still unknown.


    Ye Yuan just sneered incessantly. This bunch of arrogant and overweening fellows was seriously hopeless.


    But what he did not expect was that right at this moment, the Sovereign Star Abyss who was about to fall asleep spoke unhurriedly, "Yang Xiu, listen to what this junior has to say."


    Yang Xiu''s expression changed, but he dare not defy, replying respectfully, "Yes."


    After that, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, "Since Lord Star Abyss wants you to talk, then you tell us. If you can''t say the reason why, it won''t be as simple as sentencing the Xiao Family''s loss. You''ll also be chased out of the Grand Pill Assembly!"


    Ye Yuan felt rather surprised but was disinclined to bother with Yang Xiu. He said coolly, "Washstar Grass and Vermillion Spirit Fruit as the main ingredients. Sky Southstar, Violent Flame Sand, and Autumn Pine Nut as supplementary materials. This combination is unable to refine out a medicinal pill. Hence, it simply cannot be considered a correct answer."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s gaze involuntarily looked towards the light curtain and found Tong Wenhui and the elders'' answers very quickly. Indeed, they were the exact same.


    "Ignorant child! The alchemic logic of these five types of medicinal herbs has been analyzed by us. If extensive experiments take place, it can absolutely form a pill formula. What right do you have to say that it can''t?" Yang Xiu said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan paid no heed to his questioning and continued, "From the surface, the alchemic logic of these few types of medicinal herbs doesn''t have any conflicting aspects, so it should be able to form a pill formula. But during the medicinal pill refining process, these three types of supplementary materials together will cause a series of changes, destroying the medicinal properties of the Washstar Grass and Vermillion Spirit Fruit. It utterly cannot form a pill."


    When Ye Yuan saw that Yang Xiu wanted to refute, he spoke again, "Don''t be in a hurry to refute me. If you don''t believe it, we can verify it right now."


    Yang Xiu was just about to speak when Sovereign Star Abyss suddenly opened his mouth and said, "There''s no need to verify. What he said is right."

 379 Ye Yuan’s Hin

    "What? This . . . How is this possible?"


    "Sovereign Star Abyss actually said that this punk is correct! Doesn''t that mean that the seven great elders were all wrong?"


    "It''s too subversive! Does this boy have good luck and randomly stumbled upon it, or is it true skill and genuine knowledge?"


    "This . . . I think it should be a random shot in the dark, right? Those . . . Those seven elders are all Alchemy King powerhouses! The depth of their understanding towards medicinal herbs is simply not what the likes of us can imagine! It''s possible that this punk saw some obscure knowledge before, and this knowledge just happened to be what the elders don''t know."


    "True. After all, the elders are not omniscient either. There is bound to be a dead angle in their alchemy knowledge."


    . . . . . .


    Sovereign Star Abyss''s words made everyone explode. What this boy said was actually correct.


    And the so-called correct answers that the seven great elders came up with together was actually wrong!


    These seven great elders were all old freaks that had been famous for over a hundred years. Each and every one of their strength was unfathomable. Their knowledge about the Alchemy Path was even more inconceivable by ordinary people.


    And Ye Yuan?


    He was only a 16-year-old little fellow. The time he lived was not even a scrap of the elders''. He actually pointed out the seven great elders'' mistakes right to their faces!


    No one suspected Sovereign Star Abyss''s words. Because in the Central Capital''s alchemy world, he was the absolute authority!


    He said that it was wrong, that means that the seven great elders were surely wrong. There was no need at all to go and doubt.


    Xiao Changfeng looked at Ye Yuan disbelievingly and involuntarily swallowed hard.


    He could not help recalling the eyes that Ye Yuan looked at him with earlier. That was a disheartened expression. How could he not tell?


    If not for Xiao Ruyan stepping up at the crucial moment, Ye Yuan most likely would have already flicked his sleeves and left at this moment, right?


    Thinking about it now, Xiao Changfeng could not help feeling fear after the event.


    Ye Yuan was sincerely helping the Xiao Family, while he was suspecting him . . .


    Sovereign Star Abyss finished saying that sentence and closed his eyes again as if he slept again.


    It seemed like that scene earlier was just him sleepwalking.


    Yang Xiu obviously knew that Sovereign Star Abyss was not sleepwalking. It was just that he still did not dare quite believe it.


    Initially, he thought that this youth was deliberately causing trouble. Who would have thought that there really was such a thing?


    After the Grand Pill Assembly, he would really have to go and verify to see if what this brat said was true or not.


    Although his face was swept away by a youngster in public, the Grand Pill Assembly still had to carry on.


    Yang Xiu could only open his mouth to say, "Since Lord Star Abyss says that this answer is wrong, the first match, Xiao Family''s Xiao Ruyan wins!"


    Tong Wenhui''s expression was rather ugly. He had clearly won already. Who would have expected to be thwarted by this brat?


    He could not help glaring viciously at Ye Yuan with a sort of murderous impulse.


    "The second round, deconstructing medicinal pills! The two of you will each receive three medicinal pills momentarily. These medicinal pills were refined according to the Alchemist Association''s pill formulas; they are absolutely impossible for the outside world to have. You need to discern the components of the medicinal pill through sight, smell, and taste. The one who analyzes it correctly wins!" The Quasi-Alchemy King directly brought everyone into the second round of competition.


    Tong Wenhui had no choice but to put away his thoughts and carry on with the second round of competition.


    Deconstructing medicinal pills was a very high-level skill. It required the alchemist to be exceedingly familiar with medicinal herbs. But the accuracy was hard to guarantee.


    Furthermore, even if the components of the medicinal pill was fully deconstructed, wanting to refine it was also something not very likely. Hence, that was why the Alchemist Association could rest assured in taking the medicinal pills out for the two families to deconstruct.


    Xiao Ruyan won the first round. Her confidence rose greatly!


    This second round of competition, she solved a total of 11 types of spirit medicines from the three kinds of medicinal pills, while Tong Wenhui only deconstructed nine types.


    Xiao Ruyan won again!


    But, the most critical was still the third round, which was pill refinement!


    As an alchemist, the most important was naturally pill refinement. Hence, the weight occupied by pill refinement in the Grand Pill Assembly was also very huge.


    In the Grand Pill Assembly, each person had to finish competing in the three rounds before the winner could be determined.


    And all of the variables surfaced in this third round of pill refinement!


    Even if the first two rounds were losses, as long as one completely thrashed their opponent in the third round of refining, they could similarly be victorious!


    The so-called complete thrash was one party completely crushing the other party in terms of medicinal pill quality. Or one side successful refined the medicinal pill while the other party failed.


    If the difference in quality between the two people was not great, it was naturally the one who won the two rounds consecutively prior to this that won.


    And during this process, the opinions of the judges were actually very important. Therefore, that was why the Wind Emperor appointed the neutral Alchemist Association to host it.


    Of course, everyone could see the quality of the medicinal pill. The use of the judges would only surface under the situation where the difference was extremely minute.


    "The medicinal pill that the two of you are going to refine is . . . Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill, Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill," said the Quasi-Alchemy King.


    Among the Tier 3 pill formulas, some pill formulas were made known to the public and also publicly acknowledged to be extremely hard to refine medicinal pills. This Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill was one of those.


    Seeing this pill formula, the expression on Xiao Ruyan''s face changed.


    The refining difficulty of this Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill was very high. Xiao Ruyan just happened to be weak in refining this sort of medicinal pill. At most, she only had 30% certainty of refining it out.


    And on the other side, a pleasantly surprised look appeared on Tong Wenhui''s face. Evidently, this medicinal pill suited his taste!


    Xiao Rufeng frowned and said, "Why did this topic come out? The Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill just happens to be a medicinal pill that Ruyan is weak at. This battle . . . is not going well!"


    Xiao Changfeng''s expression was also very grave as he said, "The Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill''s requirement towards fire control is very high. But Ruyan''s weak point is fire control. It''s really quite troublesome."


    Xiao Ruyan came before the medicinal cauldron and took in a deep breath. But her eyes involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was currently smiling at her.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s finger moved slightly, forming a seal.


    Xiao Ruyan could not help being stunned when she saw the situation. She thought to herself, "Wasn''t this the seal that he struck out when I was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill? What does he mean?''


    Xiao Ruyan suddenly thought back to the feeling on the day when she was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. Although she was dog-tired at that time, that sort of feeling was very subtle.


    "Could his meaning be . . . to let me find the feeling on that day when I was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill? But . . . I tried several times afterward and kept being unable to find that sort of state!" Xiao Ruyan thought to herself.


    Calming down her emotions, Xiao Ruyan finally started to move and refine the Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill.


    Preparing the herbs and refining the medicinal embryo, these were all not difficult things to Xiao Ruyan.


    On this step, she did an even more outstanding job than Tong Wenhui!


    What Xiao Ruyan was most worried about was the refinement. She really did not have much assurance.


    "I must refine the Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill! Even if it''s only a low-grade! Tong Wenhui''s level is most likely at most just refining out a middle-grade pill even if he''s adept at this kind of medicinal pills. As long as my medicinal pill isn''t too poor, I''ll win" Xiao Ruyan gritted her teeth and secretly made her resolve.


    Xiao Ruyan beckoned with one hand. The medicinal embryo flew into the medicinal cauldron.


    The flames gradually rose. Xiao Ruyan began the Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill''s refinement!

 380 Counterattack

    Although she pulled out all stops to refine the Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill, not long after it started, Xiao Ruyan''s rhythm became somewhat disorderly.


    Refining was a task that exhausted mental strength immensely. The aspects that needed to be taken care of was far too many.


    This was only refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill. When Ye Yuan was refining Tier 9 medicinal pills in his previous life, that was simply a colossal project. Refining a single medicinal pill for a month was something normal.


    But, to the present Xiao Ruyan, the Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill was still an enormous challenge to her.


    Everyone present was an expert. One look and they knew that Xiao Ruyan''s condition was not quite right.


    "Ruyan this little girl has talent, but she is still too young in the end!" An Alchemy King elder evaluated her skill.


    "Fire control requires very exquisite essence energy control. It isn''t the work of a single day. For Ruyan this lass to be able to perform to this step is already very not easy."


    "Yeah. The path of fire control doesn''t have shortcuts. One can only become very meticulous through large amounts of practice. Tong Wenhui is several years older than her in the end. In this aspect, he''s performing better than her."


    "Looks like the victor is already determined in this match."


    Those few elders clearly did not think optimistically of Xiao Ruyan, because signs of her defeat had already appeared.


    Alchemy King experts were Alchemy King experts after all. Even if they were questioned by Ye Yuan, their strength and vision were still right there.


    Xiao Ruyan felt that she was straining more and more. The medicinal pill inside the medicinal cauldron also became increasingly unstable, with the possibility of becoming a useless pill at any moment.


    But right at this time, she suddenly sensed a seal being struck into the medicinal cauldron unseen, making her jump in fright!


    In her panic, Xiao Ruyan nearly caused the medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron to be ruined.


    "En? What''s with Ruyan, this lass? The essence energy undulations earlier were so intense that it nearly ruined the medicinal pill."


    "Yeah, just a little more. But . . . even so, it would probably be very difficult for her to rescue this medicinal pill too, right? It''s almost certain that it will be refined into a useless pill."


    "I''ve seen this lass refine pills before. Although her skills are still lacking, a mistake like this shouldn''t have appeared. Could it be that the mental pressure is too great?"


    Xiao Ruyan''s little incident was enough to make many people choke up from fear.


    One had to acknowledge that everyone liked beautiful women.


    Not only was Xiao Ruyan beautiful, but her alchemy talent was also exceedingly high. Everyone naturally liked her even more.


    Although the Xiao Family''s influence was weak, it did not stop everyone from viewing her positively.


    For these Alchemy Kings to compare Xiao Ruyan to Tong Wenchang, it could be seen just how positively they viewed Xiao Ruyan.


    Hence, when they saw that Xiao Ruyan actually made such an error, quite a few people heaved a sigh while wringing their hands.


    However, Xiao Ruyan in the midst of refining not only did not have the slightest hint of remorse at this time, but she was also excited to the point she was about to scream out.


    "It''s this sort of feeling! It''s this sort of feeling! I found it! I found it!" Xiao Ruyan was wildly elated in her heart.


    This sort of feeling was precisely the sort of feeling when Ye Yuan injected the seal while she was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill.


    When she was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill previously, she was also in a total mess from the beginning, all the way until Ye Yuan threw in that seal, guiding her into a subtle rhythm.


    Later on, Xiao Ruyan also tried it out a few times, wanting to find that subtle feeling of fire control. But all of it failed.


    All the way until Ye Yuan gesticulated that hand sign at her just now, Xiao Ruyan finally ascertained that Ye Yuan''s seal was absolutely intentional!


    Her refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was no coincidence at all. Ye Yuan helped her to refine the pill!


    Therefore, she had been following the path from that day when she was refining the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill from the very beginning and kept wanting to find that feeling back then.


    Now, she finally found it!


    "Oh? Not only was Ruyan that lass not affected by that mistake just now, she gradually entered the most optimal state instead!"


    "It''s true! This lass seems to have gotten a knack for it. Her fire control ability seemed to have gone up a huge step!"


    "Hiss . . . The medicinal pill is on the verge of taking form soon. She''s actually about to refine successfully. Truly inconceivable!"


    According to past experiences, for such a major fault to happen during the refining, it could only refine a useless pill. Wanting to salvage the situation in the later stages was something virtually impossible.


    However, Xiao Ruyan did it!


    "Condense!"


    Xiao Ruyan gave a light cry. The medicinal pill formed!


    The result was that Xiao Ruyan actually finished earlier than Tong Wenhui!


    Xiao Rufeng could not conceal the euphoria in his heart and cried out, "Well done, Ruyan!"


    Although Xiao Changfeng did not speak, one could tell from his expression that he also felt very surprised and pleased by this result.


    Except that Xiao Ruyan was not looking at them but at Ye Yuan who was at the side instead; her eyes filled with gratitude.


    Ye Yuan raised a thumbs up at her and returned a faint smile.


    At this time, Xiao Ruyan did not have the cold haughtiness from a few days back but looked like a little girl who received a praise from her lover instead; her cheeks turned red.


    When Xiao Changfeng saw this scene, he involuntarily frowned. But he did not say anything.


    It was just that Xiao Changfeng could not help being secretly very puzzled. Could it be that Ruyan being able to refine this medicinal pill was also due to Ye Yuan''s credit?


    This boy . . . What on earth was his background?


    Before long, Tong Wenhui also refined successfully. The remainder was left to the seven Alchemy Kings to make a verdict.


    The two medicinal pills were placed before the seven Alchemy Kings. The few people consulted for a while. Yang Xiu opened his mouth to say, "What Tong Wenhui refined is middle-grade Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill, while Xiao Ruyan''s is low-grade. The third round, Tong Wenhui wins."


    Talking up to here, everyone held their breaths.


    Now, it would have to depend on whether or not Tong Wenhui''s medicinal pill could thoroughly suppress Xiao Ruyan''s. If it could completely crush hers, he still had a possibility of obtaining victory.


    Only to see Yang Xiu pause for a moment, then opened his mouth again to say, "But, the medicinal pill that Tong Wenhui refined just barely managed to reach the level of middle-grade, while Xiao Ruyan''s Jade Pith Ice Clear Pill is already infinitely close to middle-grade. Hence, collating the results of the three matches, Xiao Ruyan wins!"


    "What? How is that possible? Such a large mistake happened to Xiao Ruyan in the middle. The final completed medicinal pill actually infinitely approaches middle-grade?!" Tong Fangshuo blurted out.


    Yang Xiu''s brows knitted and he said unhappily, "Family Head Tong, are you also questioning us old fellows? If you don''t trust this elderly self, you can come and see yourself. You''re also an Alchemy King. It''s unlikely that you can''t even distinguish the grade of the medicinal pill, right?"


    Yang Xiu was filled with pent-up anger. Today, he was repeatedly questioned by people. As an Alchemist Association elder, since when had he suffered such treatment?


    But towards Xiao Ruyan''s performance, Yang Xiu was also very shocked inwardly.


    Such a large mistake happened, but not only did Xiao Ruyan not refine a useless pill, she even raised the quality of the medicinal pill to such an extent. It was truly mindboggling.


    Tong Fangshuo had an awkward look. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Elder Yang misunderstood. I''m not questioning the few of you, it''s just . . . it''s just . . ."


    Yang Xiu waved his sleeves and interrupted his words, saying, "Come, men, bring these two medicinal pills before Family Head Tong and let him see for himself whether this old man is lying through my teeth or not!"

 381 A Terrifying Opponen

    Tong Fangshuo looked at the two medicinal pills before his eyes and was silent for a long time.


    "Family Head Tong, I wonder if I, Yang Xiu, talked nonsense or not?" Yang Xiu asked in a voice dripping with sarcasm.


    Tong Fangshuo had an awkward look as he said, "It''s this Tong''s yardstick of a petty man. I hope that Elder Yang is magnanimous enough to forgive."


    "Humph!" Yang Xiu gave a cold snort and spoke no more.


    Over on this side, the Xiao Family members also heaved a long sigh in relief. The first battle was really won in a rather thrilling manner.


    If not for Ye Yuan coming forward at the crucial moment to point out the mistake of the seven great elders, Xiao Ruyan would have already been defeated now.


    The problem was that the Xiao Family simply could not afford to lose the first two matches. As long as they lose one, this Grand Pill Assembly would not have any need to continue either.


    "Well done, Ruyan!"


    "Ruyan, you''re truly my Xiao Family''s fine daughter!"


    . . . . . .


    For a moment, Xiao Family members'' praises gushed forward like floodwaters.


    But Xiao Ruyan was very indifferent. She did not have much good impression towards these family elders.


    "Ji Qing, thank you!" Xiao Ruyan came in front of Ye Yuan and gave thanks solemnly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "It''s Miss Ruyan that is impressive. What has it got to do with me? Alright, take a rest first. The match later is about to begin."


    Xiao Ruyan nodded slightly and sat back onto her seat.


    Xiao Family, many people''s complexions were ugly. The feeling of being disregarded by Xiao Ruyan made them very displeased.


    And this sort of unhappiness was also carried forward to Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, Yang Xiu said, "Alright, the second battle begins now. Xiao Family''s Xiao Rufeng versus Tong Family''s Tong Wenshou."


    Xiao Rufeng stood up. Xiao Changfeng instructed, "Keep cool. Take down this match and deny Tong Wenchang the opportunity to step onto the stage and we''ll win!"


    Xiao Rufeng nodded and stepped onto the stage directly.


    And on the other side, Tong Fangshuo similarly stopped Tong Wenshou and exhorted, "Wenshou, teach Xiao Rufeng a good lesson for me and let everybody see just how great your improvement is!"


    "Yes, Family Head!"


    Watching Tong Wenshou''s departing back view, Tong Fangshuo smiled coldly and said, "Xiao Changfeng, do you think that by marshaling soldiers in rank for battle like this can catch me off-guard? In front of absolute strength, you''re just a joke!"


    . . . . . .


    The second battle.


    The development of the battle situation exceeded everyone''s expectations!


    Xiao Rufeng was the Xiao Family''s number one genius. Even if he was not at his peak condition right now, his strength and experience should still surpass Tong Wenshou.


    Yet, when the battle started, Tong Wenshou was unbelievably powerful, making everyone drop their glasses.


    The first match, constituting medicinal pills, Tong Wenshou actually identified all of the spirit medicines and even wrote down three more answers than Xiao Rufeng in the constituting medicinal pills part.


    Everyone was staring openmouthed!


    The Xiao Family members were completely scared out of their wits. Even Xiao Changfeng had a grave expression too.


    Tong Wenshou''s strength surpassed everyone''s expectations.


    "A dark horse! This is absolutely a dark horse!"


    "Xiao Changfeng racked his brains in scheming, but he probably never expected that Tong Wenshou''s strength was actually formidable to such an extent!"


    "Even if Xiao Rufeng''s refining condition was not at his peak state, his foundation skills are still there. He''s actually totally suppressed by Tong Wenshou!"


    "There''s a good show to watch now! I wonder if Xiao Rufeng can salvage the situation at the back. If he can''t make a comeback, then the Xiao Family is utterly finished."


    For a moment, whisperings sounded out inside the hall. Tong Wenshou''s performance astounded everybody.


    The situation which should have been a one-sided win actually had a drama-like change appear.


    Xiao Rufeng was also unbelievably stunned. A deep sense of defeat came over.


    He was already completely beaten down by the Tong Family''s number one genius, Tong Wenchang. If he could not even win the number two Tong Wenshou, then wouldn''t he, the Xiao Family''s number one genius, become a joke in the capital?


    Xiao Rufeng gritted his teeth and thought to himself, I must make a comeback at the back! I can''t lose! If I lose, the Xiao Family will be utterly finished! I absolutely can''t lose!


    Indeed, Xiao Rufeng finally regained one round in the second match.


    Except, Xiao Rufeng''s advantage in the second match was negligible. He only wrote one more type of medicinal herb than Tong Wenshou.


    Not only did this sort of result fail to let everyone feel his spur, but it also affirmed Tong Wenshou''s might instead!


    "The final round. One can tell that Tong Wenshou''s basic skills are very solid. It''s just who knows what will happen when he really refine pills."


    "Looks like all these years, Tong Wenshou has been covered up by Tong Wenchang''s radiance the entire time! The Tong Family''s number two genius actually has such strength. Winning the Xiao Family twice in a row is also something within reason."


    "I feel that Tong Wenshou''s refining strength might not be weak. At the very least, it won''t be much weaker than the peak condition Xiao Rufeng. And now, Xiao Rufeng is not yet fully recovered. The victor is really hard to determine."


    If one said that a match was still luck, after two matches, nobody doubted Tong Wenshou''s strength anymore.


    The strength of this fellow who lived in the shadow of the genius Tong Wenchang was so powerful that it was terrifying!


    "Hahaha! Those fools from the Xiao Family still thought that they could win our Tong Family like this. What a freaking joke! Before I broke through, Wenshou''s strength was never much weaker than mine. They actually naively believed that they could win Wenshou by relying on an invalid! Too na?ve!" Tong Wenchang burst into laughter.


    "Haha! Big Brother Wenshou is unleashing everything he has after staying low profile. This time, he finally let the people of the capital see his brilliance!" Tong Wenhui did not suffer the effects of a setback and was full of smiles with Tong Wenchang.


    "Heh heh, but I also never thought that Xiao Changfeng actually arranged for that punk to fight with me. It really makes me very excited!" Tong Wenchang looked at Ye Yuan in the distance with unfriendly eyes.


    He had a feeling of being humiliated previously in front of the gates. This time, he was prepared to vent it out properly and thoroughly shatter Ye Yuan''s confidence.


    As he was talking, he beckoned with his finger. Du Chen who was behind with a vacant look carried tea water in front of him.


    Tong Wenchang received the tea and savored a sip. He pointed at his knee and said, "Endless World''s trash, quickly give me a massage to loosen up my joints."


    Du Cheng''s divine soul was being controlled and could only be at the mercy of Tong Wenchang. He bent his body to help massage.


    "Sss . . . You pig, what are you using so much strength for?! Want to die?"


    As he spoke, Tong Wenchang stomped a foot on Du Cheng''s chest, kicking him far away.


    Du Cheng was directly kicked until he vomited a large mouthful of blood. But he still struggled to his feet and returned to Tong Wenchang''s side to continue helping his loosen his muscles and bones.


    Tong Wenchang had an enjoying look this time and groaned, "This strength is more like it. Hur hur."


    "En? Ye Yuan? What wrong with you?" Ever since Xiao Ruyan came back, her attention had been on Ye Yuan all along.


    Right then, she suddenly sensed that Ye Yuan''s breathing was slightly disorderly and could not help being very curious.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was normal as he turned his head and said to Xiao Ruyan with a smile, "Nothing. It''s just that seeing the final decisive battle, my state of mind is in somewhat of an upsurge; that''s all."


    Tong Wenchang did not know how terrifying of an opponent he had provoked . . .

 382 Who Can’t Laugh?

    Xiao Rufeng and Tong Wenchang''s match starting to get everyone''s attention.


    Naturally, there would not be anybody who noticed Ye Yuan''s fury, which was constrained to the limits in a corner.


    The two people started refining. Tong Wenshou''s strength refreshed everyone''s understanding once again!


    His movements did not have any areas that were the slightest bit sluggish. He practically completed the medicinal pill''s refinement in one go!


    On the other hand, one could see from Xiao Rufeng''s refinement that he was indeed not at his optimal condition. Even so, he still completed the refinement splendidly.


    When the two medicinal pills were delivered in front of Yang Xiu, everyone held their breaths once again.


    This match was the crucial battle that determined who won and who lost for the two Xiao and Tong families!


    The seven great Alchemy King elders evaluated for some time. It was still Yang Xiu who spoke, saying, "What Xiao Rufeng refined is middle-grade. What Tong Wenshou refined is . . . high-grade! This match, the Tong Family wins!"


    Xiao Rufeng''s head exploded with a buzz.


    Lost just like this?


    Xiao Family . . .


    "Puhwark!" Xiao Rufeng''s emotions were too agitated which finally brought out his old injuries, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    "Big Brother!"


    "Rufeng!"


    Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Ruyan hurriedly supported Xiao Rufeng, only to see his complexion ashen white, looking extremely frail.


    "Father . . . Ruyan . . . s-sorry . . . I-It''s all . . . my fault!" The self-reproach in Xiao Rufeng''s heart could only be imagined.


    "Don''t speak anymore. I''ll send people to bring you back to rest properly!" Xiao Changfeng said.


    "Brother, don''t talk anymore. You''ve already done your best!" Xiao Ruyan''s tears streamed down.


    But Xiao Rufeng shook his head obstinately and said, "No . . . I''m not going back. I . . . I want to see . . . the conclusion!"


    "But . . . but . . ." Xiao Ruyan and her brother''s feelings were evidently very deep. Seeing Xiao Rufeng like this, her heart ached immensely.


    Right at this moment, a palm reached out in front of her. A medicinal pill was held in the center of the palm.


    Xiao Ruyan turned around to take a look. Who could it be but Ye Yuan?


    "Let him eat it," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Xiao Ruyan lowered her head to take a look and could not help being greatly shocked, saying, "High . . . High-Grade Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill! Where did you get it from, Ji Qing?!"


    "Don''t Xiao Family guest retainers have this authority? I went to ask for some medicinal herbs and took some time out these two days to refine it. Quickly let him eat it. If this continues, he''ll die," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Oh, okay, okay." Xiao Ruyan hurried fed the medicinal pill to Xiao Rufeng.


    Xiao Changfeng was also very astonished. The Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was a pill formula held only by his Xiao Family. Moreover, it was not a complete version. How did Ye Yuan know?


    Furthermore, this boy could actually refine a High-Grade Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill. This . . .


    When the Xiao Family recruited Ye Yuan, what Ye Yuan refined was the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill, while the refining difficulty of the Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill was way greater compared to the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill.


    With Xiao Ruyan''s strength, she only barely refined a low-grade. But Ye Yuan could refine a high-grade?


    Perhaps . . . the Xiao Family had not reached the end of their ropes yet!


    After Xiao Changfeng settled his son down, he came in front of Ye Yuan and said softly, "Little Brother Ji . . ."


    But Ye Yuan interrupted his words and said, "No need to promise me anything. This battle, I''ll beat Tong Wenchang until he doesn''t have the confidence to refine pills anymore in the future!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were very calm and did not sound like any heroic words. However, Xiao Changfeng felt a chill arise.


    He sensed that Ye Yuan was not joking.


    Except that . . . Ye Yuan, he was only a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. Could he beat the Quasi-Alchemy King Tong Wenchang until he had no confidence to refine pills in the future?


    This sounded rather comical no matter how one listened to it.


    But regardless of what, Xiao Changfeng saw the final trace of hope. This was much better than despair!


    To be able to refine a high-grade Vast Tuber Essence Stimulating Pill, maybe this Ji Qing could really contend with Tong Wenchang?


    Over on the Xiao Family''s side, it was deathly quiet. Everyone was like a defeated rooster.


    Towards Ye Yuan, they completely did not have any confidence at all. A Middle-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster versus a Quasi-Alchemy King. Are you kidding?


    While at the Tong Family''s side, there was jubilation all around. Both sides formed a powerful contrasting difference.


    "Hahaha! Well done, Wenshou!" Tong Wenchang hugged Tong Wenshou and said happily.


    "Haha, just lucky. Fortunately, Xiao Rufeng is not at his optimal condition right now because he failed his assault on the Sea Transformation Realm." Tong Wenshou was very low-profile.


    "Oh, Wenshou, you don''t need to belittle yourself! I''m all too clear about Xiao Rufeng''s level. Even if he''s at his peak condition, he might not be able to beat you. Even if he''s stronger than you, he''s also not much stronger."


    Tong Wenshou nodded and said, "En. Next, it will be up to you, Wenchang!"


    Tong Wenchang was delighted when he heard that. He said, "Heh heh, I already can''t wait to get up on stage! I''ve been annoyed at that punk long ago. This time, I''m going to let him know how medicinal pills are refined!"


    Tong Wenshou smiled and said, "I heard that that punk is just a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. With your strength, you can completely crush him! But Wenchang, you still have to be careful. The Xiao Family are not fools. Since they sent him out, he definitely has aspects surpassing others."


    But Tong Wenchang replied unconcernedly, "What aspects surpassing others can there be? I''ve long inquired clearly. This punk can only refine the Jade Dragon Heart Calming Pill. He can at most leap ranks to refine medicinal pills; it''s no big deal. If our realms were similar, I would really need to be a little careful. But he''s just a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster; he''s too weak!"


    Tong Wenshou smiled and did not refute. He knew that what Tong Wenchang said was right. He was also well aware of the degree of Tong Wenchang''s genius. It was impossible to lose to such a young middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster.


    Tong Wenshou''s talent was not poor. It could even be said to be very impressive.


    But in the Tong Family, he had always been steadily pressed down a notch by Tong Wenchang who was even younger than him. The disparity between the two could be seen.


    If Tong Wenchang could not even take care of a brat like this, then that would really be a joke.


    At this time, Tong Fangshuo came over as well and said to Tong Wenchang, "Wenchang, take down that boy in on go, and let the Xiao Family thoroughly scram out of the capital! We''ve prepared for so many years. Today, the day of harvest has finally arrived!"


    Tong Wenchang smiled and said, "Rest assured, Father. I''ll be right back!"


    As he said, he kicked aside Du Cheng who was beside with one leg and walked into the battle arena.


    And this scene similarly landed in Ye Yuan''s eyes!


    Ye Yuan was very calm right now. But the calmer he was, the more it showed just how great his rage was at this present moment!


    Tong Wenchang came before Ye Yuan and said with a wide grin, "Punk, when we were outside, you probably never even dreamt that your opponent would be me, right? Haha, don''t be afraid. I won''t leave any face for you!"


    But Ye Yuan''s expression was calm as he said, "Hope that you can still laugh in a while."


    "I can''t laugh? Hahaha! What a hilarious joke! If you''re just amusing me, congratulations to you; you''ve done it! But I want to see if it''s you who can''t laugh in a while, or me who can''t laugh!" Tong Wenchang said with a proud look.

 383 I’m Done

    When Yang Xiu saw Ye Yuan, his expression was rather unnatural.


    His authority was questioned by an unknown boy. Furthermore, he even questioned it successfully. No matter how one spun it, it was very humiliating.


    He reckoned that this matter would spread throughout the capital by tomorrow.


    But this was a matter that Sovereign Star Abyss personally took an interest in. He could not fly off the handle either.


    Yang Xiu thought to himself, don''t let me catch your handle in a while. Otherwise, I''ll make you die very horribly.


    Restraining his state of mind, Yang Xiu said, "The third match, Xiao Family''s Ji Qing versus Tong Family''s Tong Wenchang! Begin!"


    "The first match, constituting medicinal pills! Bring up the spirit medicines!" The Quasi-Alchemy King''s voice sounded out once again.


    When his voice fell, Tong Wenchao was like on stimulants, oddly excited.


    While Ye Yuan who was opposite him closed his eyes to recuperate as if everything happening here had nothing to do with him.


    "Tch! Deliberately mystifying things!" Tong Wenchang said disdainfully.


    Soon enough, a hundred types of spirit medicines were brought to the stage and packed to the brim.


    Tong Wenchang started immediately, entering information into the jade slip at high speed.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan still did not move yet.


    Tong Wenchang gave a cold laugh, and his speed of entering the stage did not stop.


    Identifying these spirit medicines was nothing hard to him. The real difficulty was constituting the medicinal pills.


    Tong Wenchang''s speed was exceedingly quick; it was faster than everyone prior to him! One could tell that Tong Wenchang''s basic skills were terrifyingly solid.


    Even the Xiao Family''s number one genius known as Xiao Rufeng was far from him.


    "En? Why hasn''t Ji Qing started yet? Could it be that he has already given up?"


    "I already said, he definitely just happened to know that obscure knowledge, that''s how he guessed it correctly. A teenage baby, how deep can his attainments in the Alchemy Path be?"


    "Sigh. This Ji Qing''s performance prior to this was so eye-catching. Originally, I still wanted to see if there are any surprises. Looking at it now, I was thinking too much."


    Ye Yuan''s abnormal actions made many people feel very disappointed.


    In this sort of time where every second needed to be seized, Ye Yuan was actually resting his mind with closed eyes. What was he playing at?


    Posturing was not done like this. No matter how beautifully you postured, what was the use if you lose in an utter mess in the end?


    When Xiao Changfeng saw this scene, he wished that he could jump up there and wind Ye Yuan up.


    What was he doing?


    "What on earth is Ji Qing this punk thinking about? Why hasn''t he moved yet?" Xiao Changfeng said anxiously.


    "Father, Ji Qing doing so should have some deep meaning," Xiao Ruyan said weakly. Actually, she did not dare to confirm either.


    But Ye Yuan this punk was indeed very mysterious. Maybe he really had his own plans.


    "What deep meaning can there be? I don''t freaking understand. Could it be he can use his nose to sniff out every type of spirit medicines? Or perhaps, he''s already deducing the pill formula in his head?" Xiao Changfeng said rather exasperatedly.


    "This . . ." Xiao Ruyan did not know how she should refute it as well.


    What father said was clearly not possible. Nobody could do something so heaven-defying.


    Although Xiao Ruyan had long viewed Ye Yuan in a completely different light, she also did not think that Ye Yuan could do that.


    "Haha! Punk, you just slowly posture there. I''ll see how you give an account to the Xiao Family in a while!" Tong Wenchang had a pleased look. He had already identified half of the spirit medicines.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.


    "Quickly look, Ji Qing is about to begin!"


    "Only starting at this time, doesn''t he feel that it''s too slow? Tong Wenchang has already identified half of the spirit medicines!"


    . . . . . .


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not start identifying the spirit medicines as they imagined. He directly pick up the jade slip and started entering the contents!


    This scene stunned everyone even more.


    "What is he doing here? Started logging in once he opened his eyes?"


    "Haha! He''s trying to defy the heavens here! He can''t have already identified all of the spirit medicines, right?"


    "I finally understood it. This boy is purely here to be funny. The matter of questioning the seven great elders earlier might be a blind cat catching a dead rat, bumped into it!"


    Ye Yuan''s abnormal actions made everyone''s glasses drop.


    Forget about a teenage youth, even those Alchemy Kings that have lived for several hundred years did not dare to answer questions like that either.


    After 15 minutes, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said, "I''m done."


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan handed the jade slip to that Quasi-Alchemy King.


    Tong Wenchang was stupefied by Ye Yuan''s move and involuntarily stopped.


    "No way, right? You''re already done? Are you challenging the elders'' bottom-line? Forget it, forget it. I can''t be bothered with you either." Tong Wenchang was thoroughly speechless.


    Outside the stage, there was an even greater commotion!


    "Oh my god! Where did this boy come from? I''ve already been wholly defeated."


    "Hur hur, does he think he''s a god? Swept a glance and all the answers are crystal clear in his heart?"


    . . . . . .


    All manners of ridicule came over. But there was a sound isolating formation in the stage. Ye Yuan could not hear at all.


    After he handed over the jade slip, he went to one side by himself to rest.


    Bang!


    The cup in Xiao Changfeng''s hand was crushed into powder by him.


    "Is this punk making fun of my Xiao Family? To actually be so half-hearted like this! Previously, he even said to me to make Tong Wenchang not have the confidence to refine pills in the future. Utter bullshit!" Xiao Changfeng gnashed his teeth angrily.


    ". . . . . ." Xiao Ruyan was speechless.


    Honestly speaking, she also felt that he was too slipshod in doing this.


    Could it be that the thing that happened previously was just her own misconception?


    . . . . . .


    After four hours, Tong Wenchang finally deduced all of the answers and handed it up.


    The Quasi-Alchemy King turned in the two people''s jade slips together.


    Yang Xiu received the two people''s jade slips and conveniently placed the model answers jade slip and Tong Wenchang''s jade slip into the spirit artifact. The light curtain appeared.


    The reason why he did so was that he already firmly believed that Ye Yuan was here to cause trouble.


    Answering all of the questions in a short 15 minutes? How was that possible?


    Previously, this brat actually guessed correctly. Heaven is really blind!


    Comparing it, Yang Xiu nodded secretly. This Tong Wenchang was still very reliable. Well deserving of being the first person among the juniors to advance to Quasi-Alchemy King.


    "Tong Wenchang, 100 types of spirit medicines, all correct! There are a total of 73 kinds of compositions that the seven of us inferred, and Tong Wenchang answered 56 kinds!" Yang Xiu announced.


    "Indeed worthy of being the number one person in the junior generation. He''s actually this impressive! In my opinion, even if Xiao Rufeng really broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, he probably won''t be Tong Wenchang''s match either!"


    "Yeah. This first match is purely on the understanding of medicinal effects, and it has nothing to do with cultivation realm. Tong Wenchang''s performance is way better than Xiao Rufeng''s!"


    "Don''t forget, there''s still that funny boy!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Yang Xiu gave Ye Yuan a ruminating look and placed his jade slip into the spirit artifact, saying, "Next, we''ll look at Ji Qing''s answers. Answering in just 15 minutes, he should have a well thought out plan, right?"


    These words sounded sarcastic upon hearing it. Finally, it was time for him to give vent to his anger!


    The light display was densely covered in words. What was written was even more than the model answers!


    With the mentality of poking fun, Yang Xiu swept a look at the light curtain. But the expression on his face now was exceedingly fascinating.

 384 Model Answer

    "Hahaha! You guys, look at that Ji Qing''s answer! It seems to be much longer than the judges'' answer!"


    "He''s amazing what! He can even point out the error in the seven great elders'' answer, so his level is naturally higher than the seven great elders added together. His answer is naturally longer too."


    "Pffft! You''re so bad! But this boy really did it over the top trying to please the public with hogwash, for fear that others don''t know that he''s a moron."


    Seeing the densely filled answers on the light curtain, everyone was ridiculing Ye Yuan.


    A contestant''s answer was way more than the model answer. Was this being funny?


    Did he really think that he was an Alchemy Sovereign that could overpower seven great Alchemy King experts?


    They did not notice that Sovereign Star Abyss''s eyes which had been closed all along opened slightly; his eyes emitting two rays of light as he looked at the light curtain!


    "What wrong, Elder Yang? Not announcing the results yet?" said an Alchemy King. Seeing Yang Xiu in a daze, the Alchemy King could not help but to urge him.


    He was completely disinclined to even look at the contents on the light curtain. Sheer nonsense also had to have a limit.


    Yang Xiu took in a deep breath and said slowly to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment. Allow us to discuss it."


    Finished talking, Yang Xiu said to the other six judges in a low voice, "The few of you, take a close look at Ji Qing''s answers!"


    The six Alchemy Kings were stupefied when they heard this; their gaze involuntarily turned to look at the light curtain.


    A single look, and they were all horrifyingly shocked!


    Ye Yuan''s answers were actually exactly the same as the answers that they deduced together!


    No, it could not be said to be exactly the same, because Ye Yuan''s answers were even more than their answers!


    "This . . . What is going on here? If one says that he is lucky, isn''t this too lucky?"


    "Then what''s with the extra answers?"


    "Hiss . . . The 73 kinds of answers that we''ve listed, Ji Qing''s answer have it all up there! The remainder is all answers that we didn''t list. How to calculate this?"


    The seven people gathered together and started to discuss urgently.


    And this scene made everyone feel bewildered.


    "What in the world is happening? Why aren''t they announcing the results yet?"


    "Seems like something is not quite right. Can it be that this Ji Qing''s answer really has quite a few correct?"


    "He didn''t blindly toss out so many answers, and he was lucky to guess correctly in the end, right?"


    "Wrong! I checked carefully just now. The medicinal pill combinations that the correct answers have, Ji Qing''s answer has all of them! That''s also to say that he answered all the questions correctly! But . . . what''s with the extra answers?"


    "What? All of them? How is this possible?!"


    A tossed stone caused a thousand ripples. Everyone checked the answers on the light curtain in succession.


    They discovered to their astonishment that the 73 kinds of answers the elders listed, Ye Yuan really answered all of them!


    Tong Wenchang was naturally checking them too. Along with the affirmation of each answer, his expression became exceedingly ugly.


    What did this count as?


    Ji Qing shut his eyes for a long time and wrote the answers right after opening his eyes. The result was that all of the answers were correct, and there were even so many more answers.


    Tong Wenchang suddenly had a very absurd thought. It was not to such an extent where these additional answers were also correct answers, right?


    Could it be that this boy was clairvoyant and could know the past, present, and future?


    This was too nonsensical!


    At this time, Yang Xiu and and others still had yet to figure out the result.


    To say that Ji Qing lost, he had indeed answered all of the questions. To say that Ji Qing won, his answers were several dozen more than the correct answers.


    What the hell was up with these extra answers?


    Helpless, Yang Xiu could only stand up and salute Sovereign Star Abyss, saying, "Lord Star Abyss, have a look at the result of this match. How should this be handled?"


    Star Abyss closed his eyes again at this time. He just lightly uttered three words, "Ji Qing wins."


    The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone''s ears clearly.


    Tong Wenchang''s entire body quivered, his eyes turning red instantaneously.


    Forcefully suppressing the rage in his heart, Tong Wenchang gave Star Abyss a bow and asked, "Lord Star Abyss, Wenchang boldly asks; Ji Qing he answered so many nonsensical answers, so why can he still win? Could it be just because he answered all of the model answers?"


    Tong Fangshuo was greatly startled and hurriedly yelled out, "Wenchang, shut your mouth for me! How can you dare to be rude to Lord Star Abyss?!"


    Who knew that Star Abyss waved his hands slightly to stop him and said coolly, "Model answer? Whence does the model answer come from? If one had to say that there is a model answer, then Ji Qing''s answer is the model answer!"


    Buzz!


    When Star Abyss''s words came out, there was a huge uproar!


    Ji Qing''s answer was the model answer?


    This . . . How was this possible?


    Ji Qing''s answer was several dozen more than the seven great Alchemy Kings'' answer!


    His answer was the model answer. Didn''t that mean that his individual strength was even stronger than the seven great Alchemy Kings added up together?


    This kind of result when heard was simply a fantasy tale!


    If these words came out from another person''s mouth, they would definitely treat it as bullshit. But these words were uttered out from Sovereign Star Abyss''s mouth!


    Who was Sovereign Star Abyss?


    He was the absolute authority in the Central Capital''s alchemy world!


    The words that he said, who dared to question them?


    "This Ji Qing is simply too heaven-defying! To actually list down so many medicinal pill combinations!"


    "Could it be that he already knew beforehand which spirit medicines could appear today? Otherwise, how can he possibly infer so many answers within such a short period of time?"


    "Yeah. This boy is too heaven-defying. When he wrote the answers from start to end without pause like he knew the answers long ago. Can it be that he really knew the answers in advance?"


    "Knew my *ss! Didn''t you see that the answers he has written are several dozen more than the model answers?"


    "I counted just now, Ji Qing wrote a total of 120 answers; more than twice of the answers that Tong Wenchang wrote! This . . . is really brutal enough!"


    Tong Wenchang looked around vacantly, battered out of his senses. His eyes could not quite find a focal point.


    The densely filled answers on Ji Qing''s light curtain were actually all correct answers!


    Could it be that this brat''s basic skills were even that much stronger than the seven great Alchemy Kings added up together?


    Comparing him with Ye Yuan was simply like comparing a firefly to the bright moon!


    At this time, Ye Yuan who had been sitting quietly the entire time uninterestedly suddenly got up and came beside Tong Wenchang. He said with a smile on his face, "This is only the beginning. It will be even more interesting at the back! You can continue to laugh. If you don''t laugh, it''s pointless."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan returned to his area and said to that Quasi-Alchemy King, "You can start the second round already."


    The Quasi-Alchemy King was stunned, "Ah? Oh . . . Oh!"


    As he said, his gaze turned to look at Yang Xiu, waiting for his command.


    Yang Xiu nodded and said, "The second match, deconstructing medicinal pills! Begin!"


    Overwhelming rage!


    Tong Wenchang pointed at Ye Yuan and snarled, "Punk, don''t think that you''ll win for certain like this! We still don''t know who will emerge victorious!"

 385 I’m Done Again

    Three medicinal pills were presented before Ye Yuan and Tong Wenchang respectively.


    That Quasi-Alchemy King was just about to announce the commencement when he was interrupted by Tong Wenchang.


    "Wait a minute!"


    The Quasi-Alchemy King frowned and asked, "What is it?"


    Tong Wenchang clasped his hands at Yang Xiu and said, "Elder Yang, I request to deconstruct ten medicinal pills! Furthermore, include three Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills among them!"


    When Yang Xiu heard that, his eyes narrowed. Clearly, he was weighing Tong Wenchang''s suggestion.


    Undoubtedly, this request of Tong Wenchang greatly increased the difficulty of deconstructing the medicinal pills.


    To Alchemy Grandmasters, they were the most familiar with Tier 3 medicinal pills.


    Before breaking through to Quasi-Alchemy King, them researching Tier 4 medicinal pills was simply meaningless; it was completely an action reaching for something beyond their grasp.


    And Tong Wenchang himself actually just broke through to Quasi-Alchemy King not long ago too. His proficiency level in Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills was not high.


    This request undoubtedly increased the difficulty for both sides.


    After musing for a moment, Yang Xiu slowly said, "I don''t have any objections. But this request of yours still has to get the Xiao Family''s approval. After all, this is the competition between your two families."


    "I disagree! The tradition of the Grand Pill Assembly has always been competing three Tier 3 medicinal pills. What qualifications does a junior like Tong Wenchang have to alter the rules?" Xiao Changfeng immediately rejected.


    Tong Wenchang sneered and said, "Humph! The Xiao Family are all a bunch of cowards! Don''t even dare to fight a fair and aboveboard competition and only know how to use some small tricks! Since this punk can write out so many correct answers, I reckon that deconstructing ten medicinal pills can''t stump him either, right? Why don''t you ask his opinion?"


    Finished talking, Tong Wenchang looked at Ye Yuan with a ridiculing face and said, "Boy, you''re not the same as the Xiao Family members; all cowards, right?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Tong Wenchang with a smile that was not a smile and answered with a question, "Do you really want to compete?"


    Not knowing why, when he saw Ye Yuan''s smile, Tong Wenchang suddenly had a bad feeling.


    But his words were already said. He naturally had no reason to withdraw them and smack his own face.


    Moreover, even if this punk was more powerful, it was also not possible to deconstruct Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, right?


    "Of course. Words that I, Tong Wenchang, said, how can there be the logic of taking them back? You just say whether you dare or not!"


    "Since that''s the case, then let''s play a little bigger. Change the ten medicinal pills all to Quasi-Tier 4, how about that?"


    Ye Yuan was still very indifferent. The words said were light as a feather, like Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills were the same as candy to him.


    Tong Wenchang''s face darkened, looking at Ye Yuan somewhat disbelievingly.


    "This punk isn''t deliberately forcing me, right? Ten Quasi-Tier 4 pills . . ."


    Ye Yuan''s words threw everyone into an uproar.


    A middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster actually wanted to deconstruct Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. Furthermore, it was ten pills!


    Although Ye Yuan''s performance previously was very monstrous, everyone just thought that he was already familiar with Tier 3 medicinal pills to a heaven-defying degree.


    It could not go so far as to even Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills . . .


    One had to know that Ye Yuan was only 16-years-old!


    Without repeated tempering, how could one possibly be familiar with medicinal pills to such a degree?


    Tong Wenchang gritted his teeth and said viciously, "Ten pills then! How can I, an exalted Quasi-Alchemy King, be afraid of you, a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster?"


    Yang Xiu also showed a slightly excited look. He wanted to see just where Ji Qing this brat''s limits lied!


    "Fine. Since both of you parties agree, then compete in deconstructing Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills!" Yang Xiu said.


    . . . . . .


    When the ten Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills were placed in front of Tong Wenchang, his expression became very ugly.


    In deconstructing medicinal pills, the core materials were relatively easier to deconstruct. But the supplementary materials were not so easy to deconstruct.


    He could not resist taking a look at Ye Yuan, and he could not help being stunned once more.


    Ye Yuan closed his eyes to rest again!


    Tong Wenchang was virtually about to break down! Where did this punk''s confidence come from?


    These were Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills!


    Could it be that he could also instantly answer these Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills?


    "This punk is definitely kicking up a cloud of dust to mess with my mind! Don''t look at him anymore. I just have to do my part well, and that will do!" Tong Wenchang forcefully dragged his gaze back.


    But when he had just started to deconstruct the first medicinal pill, before even determining a single type of the main ingredient, Ye Yuan''s nightmare like voice sounded out.


    "I''m done again," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    This time, the time that he used was even shorter than the previous time!


    Tong Wenchang opened and closed his mouth, feeling like his throat was somewhat dry.


    When he watched Ye Yuan hand the jade slip to the Quasi-Alchemy King, Tong Wenchang was practically about to crumble.


    But he had to control his impatience to finish deconstructing the ten medicinal pills!


    "What if . . . What if Ji Qing is deliberately messing me up? Yes, it''s definitely like this!"


    Tong Wenchang secretly encouraged himself and forcefully dragged back his perturbed state of mind.


    Outside, everyone was exchanging glances. They already did not know what kind of words to use to describe their astoundment.


    These medicinal pills were Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, and they were all medicinal pills owned solely by the Alchemist Association. Not one of them was a mass-produced stuff in the outside world.


    Ye Yuan did not even look at them and deconstructed all of the medicinal pills?


    "Hey, do you think that Ji Qing''s answer will be all correct again?"


    "This . . . Maybe? Deconstructing ten Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills so quickly, forget about Quasi-Alchemy Kings, even Alchemy Kings most likely can''t do it as well! Unless . . ."


    "Unless they know the pill formula beforehand! But . . . these ten medicinal pills are all the Alchemist Association''s exclusive pill formulas!"


    "This Grand Pill Assembly today is truly too surprising."


    . . . . . .


    Another long wait.


    Tong Wenchang finally finished deconstructing all of the medicinal pills.


    But at present, he was already covered in sweat.


    Putting aside the mental pressure, deconstructing ten Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills in such a short time was also an enormous challenge to him.


    When the Quasi-Alchemy King presented the two person''s jade slips before Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu practically snatched from him the two jade slips.


    But this time, Yang Xiu did not look at Tong Wenchang''s jade slips. He plunged his divine sense into Ye Yuan''s jade slip at the first moment.


    After several breaths, amazement was written all over Yang Xiu''s face!


    "Elder Yang, can it be that Ji Qing''s answer . . ."


    Yang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "You guys take a look yourselves."


    As he said, Yang Xiu passed Ye Yuan''s jade slip to that Alchemy King elder.


    After the Alchemy King elder finished looking at it, he murmured to himself, "This . . . How is this possible?"


    After the seven elders finished looking at it, the expression on their faces was practically identical.


    Everyone knew that Tong Wenchang''s jade slip completely did not need to be looked at anymore.


    But out of a responsible attitude, after being shocked for a long time, the seven elders still endured looking over Tong Wenchang''s jade slip.


    However, their expressions when they were looking at Tong Wenchang''s jade slip was with complete nonchalance.


    Evidently, after finish reading Ye Yuan''s jade slip, they already found it tasteless.


    "The second match, deconstructing medicinal pills, Ji Qing fully deconstructed the components of all ten medicinal pills, and he answered all the questions correctly! This match, Xiao Family''s Ji Qing, victorious!" Yang Xiu finally announced the results.

 386 Explosive Rising Dragon Pill

    Buzz!


    The word victorious was like a sledgehammer that smashed onto Tong Wenchang''s chest, making him feel stifled.


    All correct!


    How was this possible?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan knew the complete pill formula for these ten medicinal pills?


    If not for this case, how could he possibly deconstruct all of the components?


    Tong Wenchang''s mind was in a disorderly mess. Ye Yuan won two matches in a row like he performed extraordinarily well today. This was too great of a blow to him.


    He was the Tong Family''s number one genius, a legendary figure among the junior generation!


    Not that he could not take losses, but this manner of defeat really made him unable to accept it!


    The answers that he went through innumerable difficulties and racked his brains for did not even come close to him.


    Furthermore, from start to end, Ye Yuan did not even look at the questions and just directly submitted the answers!


    This way of winning was too abnormal and also too heavy of a blow!


    Right at this moment, it was only to hear Yang Xiu said slowly, "I know that everybody might have doubts about this result. So I''ll order someone to seal up all the medicinal pills present and these two jade slips. If anyone has objections, they can go to the Wind Emperor to request to open the seal or pay a sufficient price to the Alchemist Association."


    These ten medicinal pills were all exclusively owned by the Alchemist Association. In order to not let the pill formula leak out, one naturally had to pay an adequate price to be able to view it.


    If it were a normal circumstance, this price naturally would not be too great.


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan deconstructed all the components of the medicinal pills without missing a single one. This way, the possibility of the pill formulas leaking out would increase dramatically.


    Hence, if the Tong Family wished to view Ye Yuan''s jade slip, the price they had to pay would surely be hard to imagine.


    Up to this point, this crucial yet unsuspenseful competition actually had a drama-like change.


    Ye Yuan secured two matches like a wild wind sweeping away fallen leaves, beating the Tong Family''s number one genius, a low-rank Quasi-Alchemy King Tong Wenchang, until he could not even raise his head.


    Previously, everyone thought that the Xiao Family would become a bygone after today. But Ye Yuan''s sudden emergence forcefully dragged the Xiao Family back!


    Now, the Xiao Family already firmly suppressed the Tong Family by a head. As long as Ye Yuan did not lose too horribly in the final match, the Xiao Family could take back 70% of the medicinal pill market''s management rights anew!


    Xiao Changfeng looked at Ye Yuan''s back view and actually felt a chill run down his back.


    Yes. An Alchemy King expert shuddered at an Alchemy Grandmaster!


    He finally understood now what that sentence Ye Yuan said prior to this meant.


    To beat Tong Wenchang until he had no confidence to refine pills. This statement sounded very laughable, but looking at it now, Tong Wenchang might really get a psychological obstacle in alchemy.


    This kind of simple, yet crude winning method was enough to utterly crush the opponent''s confidence.


    If Tong Wenchang were unable to walk out from the shadow of today''s defeat, then his accomplishments in this lifetime would probably end here.


    But when a person''s confidence was completely crushed, how could it be easy to find it again?


    Such a method that destroyed one''s opponent was even crueler than killing him directly.


    How in the world did Tong Wenchang offend Ji Qing that the latter would actually use such a cruel manner to crush his confidence?


    Xiao Changfeng dared to confirm that Ye Yuan completely did not have this intention before coming. Deciding to do so should be a sudden thought.


    Xiao Changfeng remained puzzled after pondering over it!


    Just what kind of a freak did my girl find? Xiao Changfeng unwittingly laughed wryly in his heart.


    Xiao Changfeng was originally the most worried person among everyone about the final match.


    But now, he had inexplicable confidence in Ye Yuan!


    He felt that Ye Yuan could definitely defeat Tong Wenchang in refining pills!


    Because to want to thoroughly crush Tong Wenchang''s confidence, this third match was the most crucial one!


    . . . . . .


    "The third match, the medicinal pill that the two of you will be refining is the Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill, Explosive Rising Dragon Pill!" Yang Xiu said.


    When his voice fell, the surroundings burst into an uproar all at once.


    "Oh my God! It''s actually the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill! This . . . This is seriously crazy!"


    "The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is known as an emperor-like existence among Tier 3 medicinal pills. It was not because of its medicinal effect but because of its refining difficulty!"


    "Yeah. The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill''s requirement towards soul force is exceedingly high! Up until now, I''ve never heard of any Alchemy Grandmasters that refined the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill before!"


    "Tong Wenchang was utterly defeated in two matches. This match, he finally saw a bit of hope! In the case of the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill, the advantage that he has is too great!"


    The Explosive Rising Dragon Pill''s pill formula was not really precious. Many major factions had it. But its refining difficulty was seriously too high!


    Those who could refine the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill were all Quasi-Alchemy King strength and above!


    Even low-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings would also find it very taxing to refine this medicinal pill.


    As for an Alchemy Grandmaster, this medicinal pill was impossible to refine!


    "Hahaha!" When Tong Wenchang heard the contents of the final match, he started laughing madly. "Ji Qing, even the heaven is helping me! I want to see just how you''ll refine this medicinal pill that is unsolvable to Alchemy Grandmasters!"


    Ye Yuan did not pay attention to him. He still sat there with his eyes closed to rest his mind, with an appearance like this matter did not concern him.


    Tong Wenchang finally managed to find a bit of superiority sense and wanted to deal a good blow to Ye Yuan. But his fist landed on cotton, making him very depressed.


    Tong Fangshuo could not help frowning when he saw the situation and finally could not sit still anymore.


    "Wenchang, come over here!" Tong Fangshuo said solemnly.


    Tong Wenchang was startled and came before Tong Fangshuo. "Father!"


    "Wenchang, this boy is very abnormal, and his strength is formidable. You mustn''t lower your guard! This third match concerns our Tong Family''s next ten years'' fortunes. The load on your shoulders is very heavy!" Tong Fangshuo said.


    Tong Wenchang broke into a sweat and hurriedly said, "Wenchang knows. Father, please put your heart at ease!"


    Tong Fangshuo sighed lightly and said, "How do you want me to feel at ease when you''re like this? Didn''t you notice that you''ve been completely brought into his rhythm by that kid?"


    Tong Wenchang''s hairs stood on its ends from fear, and he broke into a cold sweat.


    "But . . . that punk . . ."


    "I know! That''s why I didn''t say anything when you lost the first two matches! This kid''s knowledge in the Alchemy Path is extremely solid. He probably grew up in a medicine garden from a young age! But no matter how amazing he is, he''s also just a 16-years-old youth! Do you . . . understand?" Tong Fangshuo said.


    "Father''s meaning is . . ."


    "Solid fundamental skills is Ji Qing''s greatest advantage but also his greatest disadvantage! The Alchemy Path has never had a shortcut that can be taken. Without copious amount of severe training and practice, there''s no way to have any sort of accomplishments! He''s only 16. How formidable do you think he can be when he''s truly refining pills?"


    Tong Wenchang''s eyes lit up and said in delight, "Father''s meaning is that this Ji Qing, his theoretical knowledge is extremely powerful, so it delayed actual practice instead?"


    Tong Fangshuo nodded slightly and said, "That''s right! If it was some other medicinal pill, then forget it. But this Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is immensely advantageous to you! You just have to refine the pill according to your own rhythm. Forget all about the first two match''s defeat. This match, you can definitely turn defeat into victory!"

 387 Legendary Realm Reappears!

    When he came back again, Tong Wenchang''s emotion was much more stable.


    Looking at Ye Yuan who was still closing his eyes and resting, he sneered coldly and returned back to his operating platform.


    "The third match, begin!"


    Tong Wenchang did not start right away but took a deep breath to calm his mind before he started to portion the medicine.


    The medicinal herbs were already prepared. The alchemist just needed to dispense it according to the pill formula, then refined it into a medicinal embryo, and that would do. This was naturally not something difficult for Tong Wenchang.


    Soon enough, Tong Wenchang finished dispensing the medicinal herbs but then he took a look at Ye Yuan on some devilish impulse.


    With this glance, he involuntarily had an impulse to spew blood again.


    Ye Yuan this fellow was actually closing his eyes to rest again!


    He had been bustling about for a long time, and Ye Yuan actually had not started work yet!


    My God, dp you really have to posture like that?


    The first time was like this, the second time like this, and the third time was still like this!


    "Ignore him! Ignore him! I just have to do things according to my own rhythm! He''s only a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, it''s impossible to refine the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill!" Tong Wenchang repeatedly exhorted himself.


    After reciting it silently for ten times, Tong Wenchang''s emotions finally stabilized somewhat.


    This time, he swore to never look at Ye Yuan again!


    . . . . . .


    Roughly an hour later, Tong Wenchang''s refinement of the medicine embryo was already drawing to an end.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan finally moved!


    He came before the operating platform and directly crushed and mixed the spirit medicines together. Then he started refining the medicinal embryo straight away!


    "T-There''s such dispensement of medicine? He . . . He doesn''t even weigh it out?"


    "F*ck me! Today, I''ve really broadened my horizons! If this Ji Qing can refine out the Explosive Rising Dragon Pill like this, then us, these Quasi-Alchemy Kings, really need to go jump into the river and kill ourselves!"


    "You should hold your words back a little. This Ji Qing has already consecutively created two miracles in a row. You''re certain that he can''t create another miracle?"


    . . . . . .


    Hand-grabbing style of medicine portioning once again astonished everyone.


    But Ye Yuan already fully entered a state at this time, and was utterly unconcerned with everything in the outside world.


    Next was refining the medicinal embryo. It was only to see Ye Yuan''s fingers moved like phantoms, completing the refinement of the medicinal embryo with extreme speed!


    Everyone was taken aback from shock. Ye Yuan actually completed refining the medicinal embryo at the same time as Tong Wenchang!


    This . . . What skill level was this?!


    "I''ve really increased my knowledge today! Turns out that prepping the medicine and refining the medicinal embryo can actually be done like this!"


    "Heh heh, previously, I was still worried that Ji Qing''s skill in actual practice would be lacking. Now, looks like this worry was totally undue."


    "Yeah. If preparing the materials and refining the medicinal embryo are both fine, then Ji Qing is really too heaven-defying!"


    "Whether there''s an issue or not, we''ll know in a while! If the portioning ratio is wrong, even if Ji Qing is the reincarnation of a divine Buddha, it''s also not possible to refine out a finished medicinal pill. En? He''s starting!"


    Everyone held their breaths, wanting to see if any shocking actions would appear once again when Ye Yuan was refining the pill.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not disappoint them!


    "Tri-Origins Samsara Art! Activate!"


    The furnace fire rose sharply. Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from the original spot!


    At the same time, Sovereign Star Abyss who had his eyes shut all along snapped open his eyes abruptly and stared fixedly in Ye Yuan''s direction!


    "What refining method is this? So formidable!"


    "Simply unheard of! How is this refining pills? This is simply performing movement technique!"


    "No, wait; I feel that Ji Qing''s refining method is very extraordinary! Did you guys see clearly? In the process of Ji Qing revolving his skill, he''s actually hitting out one seal after another constantly!"


    "Of course I saw that! But does firing out seals like this has any benefits in forming the pill?"


    "Don''t know. But have you noticed? When he circles one round around the medicinal cauldron, he only fires out seals at three fixed points!"


    "It really is true!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan already had a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster soul force at this time. Executing the Tri-Origins Samsara Art again was way easier compared to at the Spirit Condensation Realm.


    His current movement technique was faster compared to before. The seals were already grasped more soundly and accurately!


    Gradually, a peculiar atmosphere undulated out in the hall.


    Under everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan''s figure became increasingly slower and progressively clearer, just like the scene was playing in slow motion.


    Of course, even if it was in slow motion, Ye Yuan''s figure was still very swift. Because his movements were too quick.


    Everyone felt like it was pleasing to the eyes and mind. Ye Yuan''s refining process was as if a form of art in their perspective!


    They were rapt in the ecstasy of it; it was like they were drunk or dreaming.


    Under such a condition, time flew by swiftly.


    An hour went by in a flash. Then Ye Yuan cried out lightly, "Condense!"


    At this instant, the medicinal cauldron was actually enveloped by a multi-colored light; it was persisting for a long time without dissipating!


    The entire place was deathly quiet as if time had stopped. Only Tong Wenchang''s actions with sweat pouring down his face made people feel like time was still flowing.


    Except that compared to Ye Yuan''s refinement process, Tong Wenchang''s refinement was just like a clown act. It was without any aesthetic sense to speak of.


    For a good long while, no idea who said the word ''legendary,'' which shattered this death-like silence.


    "Legendary Realm! This is the Legendary Realm! My God, I didn''t think that I could actually see the Legendary Realm in my remaining years!"


    "Too marvelous! Refining pills, this sort of dry and dull thing was actually given such a wonderful sense of beauty by Ji Qing! Truly too unbelievable!"


    . . . . . .


    After the silence, sounds of exclamations sounded out all around.


    The few Alchemy King elders at the top seats all exchanged glances. They saw from the other party''s eyes amazement and . . . envy!


    Yes. As an alchemist, this was the realm that they chased after all their life!


    They never would have expected that such a realm would actually appear on a 16-year-old youth!


    "I''m done," Ye Yuan nonchalantly said a sentence. He then returned back to his seat to close his eyes and rest.


    While on the other side, Tong Wenchang was still risking his life to refine the pill.


    He had also entered his own state and was completely oblivious to Ye Yuan''s performance. He naturally did not know either that everyone was all using sympathetic eyes to look at him.


    After another hour, Tong Wenchang completed the pill refinement.


    "Hahaha! My Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is at the very least middle-grade! Maybe even possibly high-grade! Ji Qing, you''ll lose this match for sure!"


    Tong Wenchang clearly had yet to detect his own situation, laughing wildly after forming the pill.


    But he soon discovered that the atmosphere was not quite right.


    "En? What''s going on? Why are you all looking at me with those eyes? What I refined is a middle-grade, maybe even high-grade Explosive Rising Dragon Pill! Even among low-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings, only a few can refine it, right?" Tong Wenchang was rather baffled.


    "Present Ji Qing''s and Tong Wenchang''s medicinal pills. I think this match doesn''t have any suspense anymore. No, wait, I should say that the suspense is even greater! I think that everyone would want to know just what grade of Explosive Rising Dragon Pill Ji Qing refined, right?" Yang Xiu said with some slight agitation.

 388 After Today

    The medicinal pill fragrance had already permeated the entire hall. Everyone knew that this medicinal pill that Ye Yuan refined would certainly be extraordinary!


    As for Tong Wenchang''s despotic words, everyone overlooked it directly. At this time, there was already no one at all who paid attention to him.


    "Elder Yang, quickly unveil the mystery! I can''t wait anymore!"


    "Yeah. This Explosive Rising Dragon Pill, even if an Alchemy King expert came to refine it, they might not be able to guarantee high-grade every time; let alone superior grade."


    "I have a feeling that this Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is probably not limited to the level of superior-grade! My God, a Transcendent-Grade Explosive Rising Dragon Pill! I simply dare not believe my eyes!"


    Tong Wenchang looked perplexed. But when he heard everyone''s words, he finally understood a little.


    At the very least, he knew that he was already utterly disregarded by people . . .


    Ji Qing, he . . . What on earth did he do?


    Yang Xiu looked at Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill from left to right. The more he looked, the more he could not bear to part with it.


    Finally, Yang Xiu heaved a sigh in admiration and said, "You all guessed correctly. Ji Qing''s Explosive Rising Dragon Pill is beyond all doubt transcendent-grade! This is simply like an immortal medicine to martial artists who cultivates fire-attribute cultivation methods!"


    Tong Wenchang''s entire being was petrified there. Only two words repeatedly reverberated in his head.


    "Transcendent-grade . . . Transcendent-grade . . ."


    A transcendent-grade Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill, this . . .


    "I heard it wrongly! I must have heard it wrongly! A high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster refining a transcendent-grade Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill? Isn''t this insulting my intelligence?" Tong Wenchang repeatedly suggested to himself.


    Still, nobody paid attention to him. Everyone''s eyes were glued at the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan refined.


    "Really transcendent-grade! Really transcendent-grade! How many years has it been since a transcendent-grade Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill has appeared in our capital?!"


    "Yeah. This is simply the pinnacle work of Tier 3 medicinal pills! At least, among Alchemy Grandmasters, no, within Quasi-Alchemy King Realm, it''s impossible for anyone to refine such a medicinal pill!"


    "Legendary Realm! Transcendent-grade Tier 3 high-level medicinal pill! I''ve simply witnessed a miracle today!"


    Ye Yuan''s masterpiece made everyone lose themselves in the wonder.


    Yang Xiu already could not wait to end this Grand Pill Assembly. He wanted to have a good chat with this young man!


    "The results don''t need me to say it, right? This third match, the Xiao Family . . ."


    "Wait!"


    Yang Xiu''s words were said halfway when it was rudely interrupted by Tong Wenchang!


    Yang Xiu''s brows furrowed, his tone becoming cold as he said, "What do you have to say?"


    Tong Wenchang had a ferocious face as he said, "I feel that there''s something fishy going on with this match! That boy is only a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster! How can he possibly refine a transcendent-grade Explosive Rising Dragon Pill? And also, the previous two match, his answers were too strange!"


    Rumble!


    Yang Xiu''s Soul Sea Realm aura erupted completely. An overwhelmingly powerful aura crushed Tong Wenchang until he felt asphyxiated.


    Clearly, Yang Xiu really became enraged this time!


    "Your meaning is that . . . our Alchemist Association would collude with the Xiao Family to engage in fraud in this Grand Pill Assembly?" Yang Xiu said leisurely, but anyone could sense his fury.


    Everyone was horrifyingly shocked. These words from Tong Wenchang could be considered to have poked the hornet''s nest!


    Although the capital''s Alchemist Association Headquarters was under the rule of the Wind Emperor, it did not mean that the Wind Emperor could freely issue orders to the Alchemist Association.


    In reality, the Alchemist Association could entirely not listen to the Wind Emperor''s commands!


    It was just that because in the Fierce Gale World, the Wind Emperor was an extremely special existence. He was this small world''s one of a kind powerhouse.


    In order to express their respect, that was why the Alchemist Association was brought under the Wind Emperor''s rule.


    While the Alchemist Association organized all past sessions of the Grand Pill Assembly, this was not an order issued by the Wind Emperor, but the Wind Emperor inviting this neutral organization.


    In the Lower Realms, unless they were brain damaged, otherwise, nobody dared to provoke an organization like the Alchemist Association!


    If not for this case, with the Wind Emperor''s might, he could completely swallow up the Alchemist Association.


    However, did he dare?


    Tong Fangshuo was greatly frightened by Tong Wenchang''s words. He came forward to salute Yang Xiu and said, "Please don''t blame him, Elder Yang. Wenchang, he is momentarily confused; that''s why he would say such offending words. The Alchemist Association has hosted so many sessions of the Grand Pill Assembly and has always been impartial. How can we dare to question? Wenchang, why haven''t you apologized to Elder Yang?!"


    As he reached the end, Tong Fangshuo already had a stern tone and countenance!


    Yet, Tong Wenchang had already completely lost himself. How could he listen?


    "Why do I have to apologize? Father, don''t you feel that it''s very fishy? That boy didn''t even look and composed so many pill formulas. He even deconstructed all ten of the Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills! If not because he knew the answers beforehand, with him just being a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster . . ."


    Slap!


    Tong Wenchang had yet to finish talking when Tong Fangshuo sent a large slap over, directly sending him flying!


    When he crawled up again, Tong Wenchang''s entire face already swelled like a pig''s head; blood was everywhere on his face, looking extremely wretched.


    "Unfilial son! If you say any more nonsense, see if I don''t cripple you! Come, men! Bring this unfilial son of mine back for me, and watch him strictly! Without my permission, nobody is allowed to let him out!" Tong Fangshuo was so furious that blue veins throbbed.


    The Wind Emperor dreading the Alchemist Association was only because he feared the force behind it. But to the alchemist world''s Tong Family, the Alchemist Association was absolutely an existence which could not be offended!


    Tong Wenchang was missing a screw right now, to actually dare to rebut Yang Xiu! That wouldn''t be a problem of just losing a few percentages of shares of the medicinal pill market!


    While this move looked very ruthless, it protected Tong Wenchang very well.


    Bringing him back to lock him up, that was just the Tong Family''s internal affairs. If Yang Xiu really pursued this matter, whether Tong Wenchang''s puny life could be preserved or not was still another matter altogether.


    How could an old fox like Yang Xiu who lived for several hundred years not understand Tong Fangshuo''s intentions?


    But in the capital, the Alchemist Association also had the Alchemist Association''s difficulties. Tong Fangshuo already did it to this step. He could not very well pursue this matter further.


    "Alright, alright. Today''s matter ends here! Now, I''ll announce the results. This Grand Pill Assembly, the Xiao Family wins with 2 �C 1! If the Tong Family is unwilling to submit to this result, you can very well go and complain to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor," Yang Xiu said.


    Within these words already disclosed his thick displeasure.


    Although Yang Xiu was not a character whose words were as heavy as nine tripods, he was also a figure who carried weight.


    His words still had plenty of weight.


    Tong Fangshuo was having a headache. This was not Yang Xiu alone being unhappy. Tong Wenchang''s words already offended everyone in the Alchemist Association.


    This kind of chink, who knew how much effort was needed to be able to mend it later.


    In truth, Tong Fangshuo could not blame it on his son either. Anybody who encountered something like this would probably lose their sense of propriety as well.


    What he was worried about now was whether Tong Wenchang still had the confidence to stand before a medicinal cauldron again to refine pills after today.


    It took ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to raise a person. For Tong Wenchang to become hailed as the Tong Family''s number one genius, all the expended resources up until now was only more and not less than Xiao Rufeng.


    But after today . . .

 389 First-Rate Family

    Before today, Tong Wenchang was in high and vigorous spirits; his limelight covered everyone in the capital''s junior generation, tramping the Xiao Family''s junior, Xiao Rufeng, beneath his foot.


    But just as he was about to reach the summit, he was kicked down directly from the altar by Ye Yuan!


    There was no battle at the summit, not even evenly matched. Ye Yuan, this alchemist who was younger,and had even lower cultivation realm than him, had used absolute strength to crush Tong Wenchang!


    No glint and flash of cold steel but such a wound was even harder to heal compared to knife and sword injuries.


    Tong Fangshuo knew that after today, Tong Wenchang would probably fade away into the masses!


    But what he was worried about right now was not this. It was how the Tong Family should receive the wrath of the Alchemist Association as well as the suppression after the Xiao Family took their place.


    Once he thought of this, Tong Fangshuo could not help feeling incredibly vexed.


    Right at this moment, Sovereign Star Abyss opened his mouth and said, "Ji Qing."


    The hall quietened down straight away. Everyone guessed what this peak figure in the capital''s alchemy world was about to do next!


    Everyone''s eyes when looking toward Ye Yuan was filled with envy and congratulating intent.


    Yes! Nobody was jealous!


    Ye Yuan already used his strength to conquer everyone!


    They knew that they did not have the qualifications to be jealous!


    Ye Yuan bowed slightly and said, "Lord Star Abyss!"


    Star Abyss nodded his head slightly and said, "Are you willing to acknowledge this old man as your master?"


    If it were somebody else, they would likely be so agitated that they would jump up.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was rather laughable.


    After musing for a brief moment, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Junior is willing."


    Star Abyss naturally had no qualifications to be his master. Ye Yuan obviously did not wish to acknowledge him as master either. But Ye Yuan''s current situation was very special.


    Within this capital, one might say that he had enemies everywhere.


    Once someone discovered his identity, he would face certain death.


    In the capital, forget about Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses, Soul Sea Realm experts were simply as many as oxen fur. Any one of them randomly pops out, and he could die without a burial ground.


    Although he could use a divine soul mystic art to cover up his divine soul, his appearance could not be changed at all. If he was recognized by the Lan Family Tribe members, he would be dead for sure.


    Finding a backer such as Star Abyss, his safety would increase dramatically. Wanting to rescue people would also be way more convenient.


    Star Abyss nodded with a smile, clearly very pleased with this disciple.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan''s weight in everyone''s eyes naturally became different.


    People from factions all around hurriedly encircled around.


    "Congratulations to Little Brother Ji for acknowledging a famed master! Your future prospects are limitless!"


    "Congratulations to Little Brother Ji Qing. I''m the boss of the Dehua Hall. In future, if Little Brother Ji has any needs, you just have to instruct. What my Dehua Hall can take out, I''ll absolutely do it without demur."


    . . . . . .


    For a moment, Ye Yuan was totally swarmed.


    This process lasted roughly an hour before everyone gradually dispersed.


    At this time, the people in the hall were already pretty much all gone. Even the seven great Alchemy King elders and Sovereign Star Abyss had already left.


    Only now did Xiao Changfeng come forward and bowed deeply to Ye Yuan. "I represent the Xiao Family to give thanks to Little Brother Ji''s great kindness! This grace is the same as giving my Xiao Family a new lease on life! Originally, this Xiao was planning on giving Little Brother the position of Xiao Family''s guest retainer elder. Little Brother could demand the Xiao Family''s resources limitlessly. But since Little Brother became Sovereign Star Abyss''s brilliant pupil, I''m afraid you will turn your nose up in contempt at this tiny bit of reward. If Little Brother has any areas where you have use of this Xiao for, feel free to speak. This Xiao will not shrink from death to accomplish it!"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Family Head don''t need to be courteous. I have no request for the Xiao Family. If Family Head really wants to thank, help me thank Miss Ruyan then. If not for her, this Ji would probably have flicked my sleeves and left already."


    But these words sounded rather ambiguous. Xiao Ruyan who was behind Xiao Changfeng flushed red.


    Xiao Changfeng felt anguished in his heart. His actions previously indeed still infuriated this little ancestor.


    But he was also secretly rejoicing that this little ancestor seemed to have taken a fancy to his own daughter.


    Except that . . . the Xiao Family was going to hold the spouse finding martial competition very soon. The Xue and Huang two families were already glaring like a tiger with covetous eyes. Now, there was an additional Ji Qing. How should this be done?


    Xiao Changfeng felt a headache.


    He fished out a token from his body and passed it to Ye Yuan, saying, "Little Brother Ji, this is my Xiao Family''s highest level token. If you have any needs, you just have to bring this token to any business under the Xiao Family''s name, and they will collaborate with you."


    Ye Yuan nodded and was not courteous this time. This was what he deserved.


    In truth, if not because he was afraid that this old fox would become suspicious, Ye Yuan even wanted to directly open his mouth to ask for that two slaves from him.


    But Ye Yuan also knew that his origin was unknown. Even if he kept things as vague as possible, it would also be hard to prevent Xiao Changfeng becoming suspicious.


    How to approach those two people without leaving a trace would probably still have to be set about through Xiao Ruyan. That was why he deliberately mentioned Xiao Ruyan and not to show Xiao Changfeng any attitude.


    "Since that''s the case, then this Ji thanks Family Head." Ye Yuan extended his hand to receive the token.


    Seeing Ye Yuan accept the token, Xiao Changfeng also heaved a long sigh in relief.


    After today, Ye Yuan''s status would be extraordinary.


    Sovereign Star Abyss''s brilliant pupil and his own strength stood head and shoulders above all others too. Such a figure did not need long before he would be known to all in the capital.


    To be on friendly terms with him was absolutely beneficial to the Xiao Family.


    Xiao Changfeng chuckled and said, "Little Brother is too polite! That . . . You youngsters have common topics. I, this old fellow, won''t mingle together. This Xiao takes my leave first. Ruyan, you and Little Brother Ji interact together more. If Little Brother Ji has any requests, you do your best to agree to it. Rufeng''s old injuries relapsed and still needs to return to have a good rest to recuperate. He''ll be going back together with me."


    After Xiao Changfeng left, Xiao Ruyan finally loosened up a little. She said with a slightly flushed face, "Ji Qing, this time . . . it''s really all thanks to you!"


    But at this time, Ji Qing suddenly put on a teasing smile and said, "I thought that you would say something like ''unable to repay the kindness and can only offer myself in marriage.'' That way, I can just conveniently accept it."


    At this, Xiao Ruyan''s face blushed scarlet red, and she could not help saying disdainfully, "You! Why are you always not serious?"


    "Haha, a fair maiden is a gentleman''s good match! How is it not serious? I''m very serious right now!" While he verbally said serious, his face was not serious at all.


    If it were before, Xiao Ruyan would definitely have stomped off already.


    But this was not her first day coming into contact with Ye Yuan anymore. She knew that he was joking. Although it was quite unbearably embarrassing, she also forcefully endured it and did not cover her face and run.


    But Ye Yuan did not expect that Xiao Ruyan''s expression suddenly became downcast and she said, "A fair maiden is a gentleman''s good match? But I don''t have command over myself!"


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, "Now that the Xiao Family''s crisis is averted, this matter of martial competition to find a spouse still has to continue?"


    Xiao Ruyan shook her head dejectedly and said, "Martial reigns supreme in the Fierce Gale World. Apart from the Alchemist Association being able to isolate and safeguard themselves, alchemy families are all vassal existences. If not, with the Xiao Family and Tong Family''s financial power, we would have long ranked among first-rate families. In the capital, the truly powerful ones are still the first-rate families like the Huang Family, Xue Family, as well as the Shangguan Family!"

 390 Where His Confidence Lies!

    Ye Yuan came to a realization. Turned out that alchemy skills were not thought highly of at all in the Fierce Gale World.


    The Fierce Gale World martial artists mostly relied on their own talent and hard work to cultivate. Their reliance on medicinal pills was not as great as the Endless World.


    Of course, this was only comparatively speaking.


    Those large families, as well as the forces under the Wind Emperor''s command, would naturally enjoy more resources. Their cultivation would naturally be faster too.


    But to them, medicinal pills were just adding flowers to embroidery and not delivering fuel in the snow.


    Actually, Ye Yuan could tell that while the Fierce Gale World was deficient in resources, the environment itself was actually their most valuable resource.


    Fierce Gale World martial artists could be said to have a natural affinity with the concept of wind. Their cultivation along this path would also be quicker.


    If Ye Yuan''s conjectures were right, there were no shortage of martial artists who comprehended true intent in the Fierce Gale World.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the city, he came into contact with the alchemy world influences. He still did not have a direct understanding of the other forces.


    Looking at it now, the two Xiao and Tong families actually had a good deal of things that they had no control over.


    "Like that huh. Since you aren''t willing to marry, find a guy to beat those two fellows down and wouldn''t it be settled?" Ye Yuan said.


    Xiao Ruyan smiled bitterly and said, "Where is the Xiao Family going to find such a character? The Huang Family''s Huang Wenqiu and the Xue Family''s Xue Zaihe are the number two experts among the capital''s junior generation. Their strength is on par with each other. Wanting to find someone stronger than them, and still have to meet the age requirement? Easier said than done."


    "Oh? Number two experts? Then who''s the number one expert?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "The number one expert is similarly two people. They are the His Highness, the Seventh Prince, and the Shangguan Family''s Shangguan Lingyun!" When she spoke of these two people, Xiao Ruyan''s face also revealed solemnness.


    "Oh . . . So impressive huh. Then that''s a little hard to deal with. Why not I help you beat them off, and then you promise me one thing? How about that?" Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes lit up but immediately dimmed again. "I know that you''re incredibly powerful in the Alchemy Path. But in terms of martial strength, you can''t possibly beat those two people. Furthermore, if you need me to do anything, Father also had said earlier; you just have to speak freely."


    Ye Yuan snickered and said, "Really? Even wanting you is okay too?"


    Xiao Ruyan was already completely numbed. She said, "Of course you can. The prerequisite is that you can take me away."


    However, these words made Ye Yuan jump in fright. He gave a perfunctory laugh and said, "Just making a joke. I don''t want to be hunted down by the Huang and Xue, two great first-rate families."


    In truth, Ye Yuan really wanted to ask about the matter of the slaves. But he was unable to fully trust Xiao Ruyan, so he forcefully swallowed his words back down.


    The matter of Endless World''s slaves was too sensitive. He just had to open his mouth, and it would draw people''s suspicions.


    Xiao Ruyan was extremely intelligent. It was impossible to not have any notions at all.


    Even if he helped out the Xiao Family tremendously this time, on the matter involving the war between the two worlds, which side Xiao Ruyan would ultimately choose to stand on was really hard to say.


    As for Xiao Changfeng, Ye Yuan was even less hopeful of him. That old fox would definitely take him down immediately and deliver him in front of the Wind Emperor to claim credit.


    At this time, a youth walked into the hall slowly, heading straight for Ye Yuan.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ji, I''m master''s first disciple, Shi Haoran. Master asks you to go see him with me after you finished settling the stuff over here,"said the youth to Ye Yuan.


    This Shi Haoran was shockingly an Alchemy King expert!


    This person looked young, but his age was probably no longer that young.


    The aging of martial artists'' appearance would gradually slow down following the continuous increase in strength.


    This Shi Haoran was at most a hundred years old but had already stepped into the Soul Sea Realm and advanced to Alchemy King. In the Lower Realms, this was absolutely a prodigious talent!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could feel that Shi Haoran''s gaze was restrained and had quite the air of someone broad-minded. He was totally different from Tong Wenchang; it was such a contrast.


    Tong Wenchang''s title of Quasi-Alchemy King sounded scary, but actually his foundation was superficial. It was entirely in order to race against time that he forcefully broke through to the Soul Sea Realm.


    To alchemists, the greatest taboo was this point.


    Unstable foundation. The further back, the harder to break through!


    In spite of Tong Wenchang breaking through to Quasi-Alchemy King very early, if he wanted to break through to Alchemy King Realm, without one or two hundred years of accumulation, it simply could not be attained.


    But this Shi Haoran''s soul force was pure; it was clearly tempered out through severe training. Only by experiencing countless times of pill refinement could one refine their soul force to this sort of degree.


    This point, others could not tell, but Ye Yuan was perfectly clear.


    But what made Ye Yuan surprised was why did Star Abyss send his first disciple over to fetch him?


    Even if it was taking in a new disciple, wasn''t this too solemn?


    At Star Abyss''s place, he was but a newcomer. Making his first disciple fetch him, how great of a face was that?!


    "I''ve seen Alchemy King Shi!" Xiao Ruyan gave a bow to Shi Haoran, and then she said to Ye Yuan, "Ruyan dare not delay Lord Star Abyss''s affairs and will take my leave here. Today''s matter, Ruyan thanks Mister Ji on behalf of the Xiao Family!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Ruyan don''t need to mind. Take care."


    Looking at Xiao Ruyan''s supple back view, Shi Haoran smiled and said, "Miss Ruyan and the Shangguan Family''s Shangguan Lingxue are named the capital''s two beauties together. Till today, nobody can capture their hearts. To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ji has only entered the Xiao Family for a few days, and Miss Ruyan''s heart is already secretly pledged. Indeed formidable!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. Originally, he thought that this Shi Haoran was someone who was serious in speech and manner. Who knew that he would crack this sort of joke at first sight?


    "Haha, Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother is overthinking. Miss Ruyan just has feelings of gratitude towards me. How can a proud person like her take fancy upon an inexperienced greenhorn like me?" Ye Yuan said self-mockingly.


    But Shi Haoran thought otherwise and said with a smile, "I''m somebody who has been through this. I won''t misjudge! What you said is right. Miss Ruyan is indeed a proud person. But that''s because she hasn''t encountered a man deserving of her to fall in love with. And today, Junior Apprentice Brother Ji''s performance has already thoroughly subjugated her arrogance! Moreover . . . Junior Apprentice Brother Ji is already under Master''s tutelage. How can you call yourself an inexperienced greenhorn? As long as Junior Apprentice Brother is willing, ask Master to come out and intercede for you. How can the Huang and Xue families dare to say a single word of objection?


    When Ye Yuan listened, he thought to himself, shit!


    This Shi Haoran did not seem to be joking. Could it be that Xiao Ruyan really fell for him?


    But he and Xiao Ruyan are people from two different worlds and would surely become foes in the future. When the time came, how should they face each other?


    Cough, cough, thinking too much.


    Now was not the time to be thinking about this matter. Rescuing his fellow apprentices was the first order in this matter!


    Ye Yuan laughed perfunctorily and said, "Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother, don''t make fun of this Junior. Aren''t I still young? I haven''t considered this matter yet, so I won''t trouble Master to grace his presence."


    Shi Haoran burst into laughter and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother is really a strange person! In the capital, which man doesn''t wish to hold these two beauties in their embrace? Yet, you have this strength and opportunity but make excuses to decline. Fine as well. As long as Miss Ruyan has yet to wed, you have plenty of chances. Even if the spouse finding martial competition determined her spouse, as long as she is still of a chaste body, you can still marry her over! This . . . is where the confidence of those under Sovereign Star Abyss lies!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes flickered. This Shi Haoran . . . was to his liking.

 391 Hopeless Situation

    The dojo of Sovereign Star Abyss, Qixia Mountain.


    Ye Yuan and Shi Haoran were walking side by side.


    "Master Star Abyss took in a total of seven disciples. You''re the eighth person. But you''re the one with the greatest talent," Shi Haoran said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior''s tone when saying this is like two different people from earlier, without that sort of aura that disdained all beneath the heaven."


    Along the way, Ye Yuan and Shi Haoran chatted until now and felt that this person quite matched his disposition. Different from the seriousness in speech and manner, and solemn and mature eldest senior apprentice brother in his impression, Shi Haoran was with some hint of being quick to settle grudges and favor.


    Shi Haoran laughed and said, "Inferior means inferior. That has nothing to do with disdaining the world. Legendary Realm, forget about me, even master he can''t do it either. Just based on this point, I''m inferior to you."


    "Just luck."


    But Shi Haoran did not think so. "Luck is also a part of strength. Swap any middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster over; they can''t win Tong Wenchang. At least, when I was at your level, I can''t do it."


    As they were talking, the two people already arrived at the summit of the mountain. A magnificent great hall entered their sights.


    "Go in then. Master is already waiting for us," Shi Haoran said.


    Following Shi Haoran into the main hall, Star Abyss was already waiting for him.


    "Haoran, you take your leave first. I''ll talk alone with Ji Qing," Star Abyss said.


    Shi Haoran bowed and withdrew. Star Abyss slowly opened his eyes and sized Ye Yuan up. But Ye Yuan also measured Star Abyss with his eyes without any care.


    "Legendary Realm. Pretty good! To be able to reach such a realm at this young age, you''re bound to surpass me on the Alchemy Path in the future," Star Abyss suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan was a little perplexed and did not know what these words from Star Abyss meant. He could only say, "Lord Star Abyss is too kind. Ji Qing is embarrassed by undeserved praises."


    Star Abyss waved his hand and said, "You don''t have to be humble. Actually, I know that I can''t teach you anything at all. The reason why I called you over in the name of master and disciple is because of another reason."


    Ye Yuan''s heart palpitated. Could it be that this old man discovered his identity?


    That was not very likely!


    Ye Yuan''s heart was palpitating, but he said with a straight face, "This . . . I wonder what Lord Star Abyss is looking for me for?"


    Star Abyss did not answer but retorted with a question instead, "Where did you come from?"


    Ye Yuan''s heart palpitated again and secretly raised his guard, quietly revolving his essence energy.


    "This child is somebody from the wilderness. Lord Star Abyss won''t know even if I said it," Ye Yuan said.


    Star Abyss chuckled and said, "You aren''t a Fierce Gale World native, right? Allegedly, an Endless World spy might have infiltrated the capital. If my conjectures are right, that person is you, yes?"


    This time, Ye Yuan no longer had any thoughts of being lucky in his heart and already made the preparations to fight for his life.


    But right then, Star Abyss''s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, "Heart Like Still Water! What a fine lad! You really give people continuous surprises!"


    Turned out that Ye Yuan already quietly entered Heart Like Still Water Realm. But this point was actually seen through by Star Abyss!


    Ye Yuan was really depressed. He did not know where he revealed a flaw. With this old man''s strength, he was able to see past his divine soul mystic art?


    It was true that Star Abyss''s strength was very formidable. But Ye Yuan similarly had great confidence in his own divine soul mystic art.


    Sovereign Star Abyss should not be able to see through him!


    Could it be during the Grand Pill Assembly?


    Even though he made a showy display of his abilities, he did not divulge any flaws!


    Ye Yuan initially wanted to use Star Abyss as a backing. To think that he actually directly exposed the skeleton in his closet!


    At this point, Ye Yuan no longer had the need to cover up. There was only the path of risking his life that he could take.


    Ye Yuan already silently completed the accumulation of essence energy and secretly mobilized heaven and earth essence energy!


    Evidently, Star Abyss had long discovered Ye Yuan''s little actions. But, he did not stop Ye Yuan, letting him carry it out free.


    This was absolute confidence. He believed that Ye Yuan absolutely could not escape his Five-Finger Mountain!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous either. Essence energy erupted abruptly.


    "Thousand Flowing Petals! Explode for me!" Ye Yuan roared.


    Innumerable flower petals appeared out of thin air, enveloping Star Abyss thickly.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Exploding sounds constantly rang without pause, wanting to erode Star Abyss''s protective essence energy.


    But it was all futile.


    The Thousand Flowing Petals which had never failed him in previous battles was utterly useless this time. The flower petals which filled the skies vanished completely. Star Abyss still waited there perfectly unscathed. Not even a hair was hurt!


    But Star Abyss''s gaze right now was likewise filled with astonishment.


    "Such an impressive youngster! I originally thought that since you have such unmatched talent in the Alchemy Path, your Martial Path must surely be average. To think that your talent in the Martial Path is not at all inferior to your Alchemy Path! To actually be able to maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at the Crystal Formation Realm and cast such a powerful move!" Star Abyss said with amazement written all over his face.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very ugly. Nobody was clearer than him about the strength of Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses.


    In the Lower Realms, Soul Sea Realms were common, but Divine Traversing Realms were uncommon.


    Each sovereign level powerhouse was a peak existence in the Lower Realms, a god-like existence!


    One could say that all were ants beneath Divine Traversing!


    But Ye Yuan was only a Crystal Formation Realm expert now.


    No matter how monstrous he was, it was also not possible to cross two major realms to defeat Star Abyss.


    However, since it was death either way, Ye Yuan naturally would not submit to arrest without putting up resistance.


    Canghua Sword swept horizontally. Thousand Flowing Petals was used once more!


    But this time, Star Abyss did not take a beating passively. It was only to see the corner of his mouth give a wee smile; with a flick of his sleeves, the myriad falling flowers dissipated.


    But right at this time, another Ye Yuan appeared behind him!


    "Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!"


    Ye Yuan cried out. An enormous fire dragon coiled toward Star Abyss.


    Rumble!


    An intense explosion sounded out. Except that this explosion did not spread out as Ye Yuan imagined. Instead, it became smaller and smaller, increasingly smaller, and finally turned into nothingness!


    Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath.


    This Star Abyss was too powerful!


    The firelight vanished entirely, revealing that aged body of Star Abyss.


    Only that this time, he was no longer sitting but standing up!


    His eyes showed immense astoundment.


    "Two kinds of moves. It actually contained three kinds of true intent! Fine lad, you really let this old man broaden his horizons!" Star Abyss praised with a sigh.


    Star Abyss was only sighing with admiration, but Ye Yuan was already in despair.


    The Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon was already his strongest move. It actually only forced Star Abyss to stand up. He could only fold his arms and wait for death.


    If it were not under this sort of life and death crisis, Ye Yuan''s battle result was ample to be proud of.


    Divine Traversing versus Crystal Formation. Why would he need to get up to make a move?


    Standing there to let you hit. Even if you exhausted your essence energy fully, you could not harm a single hair of his too!


    But now, if he was captured by Star Abyss, he only had a road that led to death.


    Flee?


    Even if he comprehended the Wind Flow Concept, he also could not possibly escape Star Abyss''s hands.


    Ye Yuan unwittingly gave an agonized smile. Canghua Sword moved. Thousand Flowing Petals fluttered once again!


    Only that this time, the attack target of the Thousand Flowing Petals was himself!

 392 Therefore . . . Sorry

    This was the Thousand Flowing Petals ''Behead'' character formula.


    When Ye Yuan created this move, he never thought that he would one day use this move on himself.


    He also did not think that the originally seamless infiltration would actually be seen through unexpectedly.


    But if Ye Yuan were made to choose one more time, he would still infiltrate the Fierce Gale World without hesitation to rescue his fellow apprentices.


    Where justice lie, advance even if you face millions obstructing you!


    Watching himself being enveloped by the myriad flying petals, Ye Yuan unwittingly gave a bitter smile.


    To think that merely a year after reincarnation, he would have to die again.


    In his previous life, he was only fortunate enough to escape because he had his father, Ji Zhengyang, protecting him . . .


    Just as Ye Yuan closed his eyes to await death, a blast of wind blew over and actually scattered his Thousand Flowing Petals fully.


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help hardening as he said coldly, "What''s the meaning of this, Lord Star Abyss?"


    Star Abyss sat back down again at this time and said with a faint smile, "You''re mistaken. The other reason that I''m talking about is not to expose your identity. Now, can we sit down properly to have a chat?"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze flickered. He did not quite get Star Abyss''s thoughts.


    Not to expose his identity. Then what was all that crap earlier about?


    Ye Yuan had many doubts. He nodded flatly and sat down opposite of Star Abyss.


    Right at this moment, Shi Haoran''s voice came from outside the door, "Master, Disciple sensed intense essence energy undulations from here just now. Are you alright?"


    Star Abyss replied nonchalantly, "I was giving Ji Qing some pointers earlier; that''s why a small commotion was caused. You all don''t have to be alarmed over nothing. Without my permission, nobody is allowed to approach this place."


    "Yes, Master!"


    A moment later, there was indeed no more activity outside.


    Star Abyss looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "A Crystal Formation Realm martial artist actually caused such a massive commotion in my place. Truly terrifying. In my opinion, your talent can no longer be described using monstrous!"


    Ye Yuan knew that he could not escape and simply calmed his heart down, saying coolly, "Geniuses are nothing. Experts are the terrifying ones! If you can''t beat someone, you''ll still be a clump of yellow dirt in the end."


    Star Abyss nodded and said, "That''s right, that''s right. Neither arrogant nor rash. Being able to face difficult predicaments calmly. Decisive and daring. Resolute in killing. You''re a dragon among men and will surely soar above the skies in the future!"


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded. What did this zealous flattering mean as well?


    "What does Lord Star Abyss wish to say?"


    Star Abyss chuckled and said, "Legendary Realm. This old man has seen it twice in my life! Today is the second time! But to be able to cultivate the Tri-Origins Samara Art to the Legendary Realm, I''ve never seen that before in my life!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted. Could it be that he revealed flaws due to this Tri-Origins Samsara Art?


    This . . . made no sense, right?


    "Lord Star Abyss suspected me because of this?" Ye Yuan asked gloomily.


    Star Abyss had a smile as he nodded and said, "That''s right!"


    "Why so? Although the Tri-Origins Samsara Art is rare, it''s not really some impressive inheritance, right?" Getting a definite answer, Ye Yuan was even more depressed.


    "Haha, if the Tri-Origins Samara Art doesn''t even count as an impressive inheritance, then what kind of ability is considered an impressive inheritance? Looks like your origins are even more incredible than I imagined! This Tri-Origins Samara Art is my Dao Yan lineage''s unpropagated secret. Within the Fierce Gale World, apart from Haoran and me, nobody cultivated it before. But you were able to cultivate the Tri-Origins Samsara Art to such a level. Clearly, you aren''t my Fierce Gale World''s aboriginal," Star Abyss said with a profound significance.


    "The Fierce Gale World is so large. How can Lord Star Abyss come to a conclusion that there are no other people who know the Tri-Origins Samsara Art?" Ye Yuan asked puzzledly.


    "Although the Fierce Gale World is huge, its accomplishments in alchemy skills aren''t much. If my conjectures are correct, my standards when placed in the Endless World probably can''t even enter the top five, right? So, how many inheritances this Tri-Origins Samsara Art has in the Fierce Gale World, this old man is still well aware," Star Abyss stroked his beard and said.


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and declined to comment on Star Abyss''s conjectures.


    Ye Yuan was not too familiar with the Endless World. But according to his estimations, the Northern Domain should have several sovereign level powerhouses.


    Star Abyss''s strength might really not even rank in the top five when placed in the Endless World.


    It was precisely because the Fierce Gale World was too weak in the alchemy path, the inheritances were naturally pitiably scarce.


    Star Abyss saying that he had a good idea about the Tri-Origins Samsara Art inheritance was not false.


    It was just that Ye Yuan revealing a flaw because of such a matter was seriously something he had not expected.


    "Just based on this, you determined that I''m not a Fierce Gale World native?" Ye Yuan countered with a question.


    Star Abyss suddenly burst into laughter and said, "This old man originally only suspected, so I tricked you. To think that you''re really that Endless World spy. You, this Junior, is truly impressive. To actually be able to use divine soul mystic arts to change the characteristics of the divine soul. Even I can''t see through it with my realm! This round of exchange truly astonished me over again and again!"


    Ye Yuan nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood!


    Ever since he reincarnated, it had always been him plotting against others. To think that today, he was actually schemed by someone!


    But this honestly could not be blamed on Ye Yuan either. After all, in a different world like this, him entering deep inside alone, his mind was actually in a tightly wound up state all this while.


    Star Abyss this old fox was brimming with confidence all the way and directly exposed Ye Yuan''s identity. How could Ye Yuan doubt this?


    If it were some other person, they might really harbor hope in their hearts and insist that they are not someone from the Endless World.


    But with Ye Yuan''s temperament, how could he willingly place his life in the hands of others?


    Therefore, his identity being exposed was also within reason.


    "You''re so sly, old man!" Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Star Abyss stroked his beard and said, "This is called all''s fair in war. But you, this young man, is somebody with affection and faith! For the sake of your fellow apprentices, you actually risked your own life to enter deep inside the capital alone! I, this old man, have lived for many years and have only yielded to one person. But today, there''s one more."


    "Oh? I wonder who the other person is." Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "The other person is naturally my master, Sage Dao Yan! He affirmed his Dao with alchemy under such an environment like the Fierce Gale World and ascended to the Divine Realm! The first person since time immemorial in the Fierce Gale World! This Tri-Origins Samsara Art was passed down to me by his elderly self. And my lifetime aspiration is to follow in his footsteps and ascend to the Divine Realm!"


    Speaking of his own master, Star Abyss also had a look of admiration and fixation.


    This was the second time Ye Yuan heard of Dao Yan, this name, and could not help being stirred.


    "This Ye is unworthy of Lord Star Abyss''s admiration! Now, since I''ve already fallen into your hands, I wonder how you plan on dealing with me?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "So, your real name is surnamed Ye. If you were just a mere nobody, just based on your ties of comradery, this old man could let you off. But, with the talent that you just displayed, if I let you grow unchecked, you might be a catastrophic calamity to my Fierce Gale World! Although this old man is the association head of the Alchemist Association, I grew up in the Fierce Gale World after all. Therefore . . . sorry!" said Star Abyss. Talking up to here, Star Abyss also had a regrettable look.

 393 That Boy!

    A prodigious talent like Ye Yuan, anyone who met him would their talent cherishing heart stirred.


    But if such a genius was the enemy, that would be too scary!


    Undoubtedly, those few moves from Ye Yuan earlier already made Star Abyss sense immense threat.


    Ye Yuan''s potential was too great!


    As part of the Fierce Gale World, he could not let Ye Yuan mature!


    But Ye Yuan did not have any nervousness right now. Instead, he said coolly, "I can give you a reason not to kill me!"


    Star Abyss was stunned, but he shook his head and said, "It''s futile! Just based on those few moves that you displayed just now, you can''t be kept alive! Or else, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, might not even be your match in the future!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and asked, "The Sage Dao Yan that you mentioned earlier, was his name called Li Daohang?"


    Star Abyss''s entire body shuddered, his eyes full of astoundment. He asked tremblingly, "You . . . How do you know Master''s name?! The number of people in the entire Fierce Gale World who knows his name can be counted on one''s fingers! Furthermore, with your age, how is it possible . . ."


    Seeing Star Abyss''s reaction, Ye Yuan finally set his mind at ease.


    Star Abyss''s master, Sage Dao Yan, was really that Li Daohang that he knew!


    "Haha, it''s really Li Daohang huh!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    A Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse was quivering like an ordinary old man currently.


    Li Daohang was the master that influenced Star Abyss''s entire life. His status in his heart was akin to that of a god. Hearing news of him once again, how could Star Abyss not be agitated?


    "You . . . You know my master? But . . . how is this possible?" Star Abyss said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan was merely 16 years of age. When he was born, Li Daohang had ascended to the Divine Realm long ago. It was simply impossible for the two of them to have any interaction!


    Bu, Ye Yuan truly said Li Daohang this name. This left Star Abyss racking his brain for answers.


    Star Abyss''s mind was currently flooded with countless question marks. He urgently wanted to know Li Daohang''s present situation.


    But Ye Yuan just refused to say it. This involuntarily made him have an impulse to scratch his ears and face in anxiety.


    "I naturally know him. But if you want to know his recent developments, you need to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. The matter I speak of today will be said by me, enter your ears, and not a third person is permitted to know! Don''t you think about using some method like soul search to find what you want. Since I can hide from you when it comes to the divine soul, you should know my means," Ye Yuan said with an icy look.


    Star Abyss was secretly shocked. He really had that thought just now.


    But being reminded like this by Ye Yuan, he knew that he definitely had no chance of succeeding anymore.


    Ye Yuan could hide from his Divine Traversing Realm detection with Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. How powerful his divine soul mystic art was could be imagined!


    Even if Ye Yuan was not his match, him wanting to search the soul was something impossible.


    After struggling repeatedly, Star Abyss finally could not resist Ye Yuan''s temptation and swore the Heavenly Dao Oath.


    "Now, you can tell me, right?" Master, he . . . Is he well right now?" Star Abyss asked somewhat uneasily.


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan also had a rather complicated expression. He only spoke after musing for a moment, "Whether he''s well or not, I don''t know either. Maybe he''s okay, maybe he''s not okay."


    Star Abyss was stupefied and could not being saying furiously, "You made me swear a Heavenly Dao Oath just to give me such an answer?"


    Ye Yuan looked at him and gave a long sigh, saying, "How do you think a 16-year-old youth like me can have such incredible alchemy skills? Although the Tri-Origins Samsara Art isn''t considered some pinnacle ability, wanting to reach the Legendary Realm isn''t something easy either. Do you think that it can be executed by a 16-year-old youth?"


    Star Abyss was secretly alarmed and said in surprise, "Is it possible that you . . . But your body and divine soul is very compatible. How is this possible?"


    Ye Yuan naturally would not tell him that this was due to those golden characters. He just said indifferently, "The means of the Divine Realm is unimaginable to you. This isn''t considered much to me."


    "This . . . This . . . is indeed so! I suspected previously, but after using my divine soul to investigate for a long time, I didn''t discover any traces at all either. So I dispelled this sort of thought too. To think that . . ." Star Abyss said with an emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Actually before I took over, I was an Alchemy Emperor!"


    "What?!"


    How did Star Abyss have any demeanor of an expert right now? He nearly jumped up.


    "A-A-Alchemy Emperor! Y-Y-You''re actually an Alchemy Emperor! Oh my God!" Star Abyss stammered.


    To an alchemist, their lifelong aspiration was not to reach the Divine King Realm but the legendary Alchemy Emperor Realm!


    And to Star Abyss, forget about Alchemy Emperor, even Alchemy Ancestor was a realm that was far from his reach.


    Alchemy Emperor. The weight of these two words was too heavy!


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected Star Abyss''s reaction and said coolly, "That''s right! Li Daohang that boy still has some abilities. At that time, he wanted to enter my tutelage. I didn''t accept him. But he brazenly refused to leave and followed behind me to do a considerable period of chores. Later on, he became an Alchemy Venerable too."


    That boy . . .


    Star Abyss''s face twitched. His master was that boy. Then what was he?


    That grandson?


    F*ck me!


    A little kid scolding the locust while pointing at the mulberry, how to tolerate it?


    Star Abyss could not resist cursing in his heart.


    Ye Yuan clearly saw through his reaction and said nonchalantly, "You don''t have to feel unwilling to submit. You''re also aware that in the martial artist world, the strong reigns supreme. The alchemist world is likewise so! With your present accomplishments, you''ve just barely learned the rudiments. Li Daohang is also just barely considered to have gained a higher level of mastery later on. In front of me, if he isn''t a boy, then what?"


    Star Abyss said displeasedly, "Why don''t you talk about what traits and characteristics that Li Daohang has? Maybe it''s the same surname and same name!"


    Star Abyss was an old fox. He naturally would not be ushered in by Ye Yuan so easily. Just as he said, there were many people with the same surname and name. Also, Ye Yuan might be deliberately duping him.


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "That boy doesn''t have any other abilities. That shamelessly bold and hard to shake off ability is powerful enough! He spent a full three years in the main hall pestering before I grudgingly agreed to take him in. If you have to say what characteristics he has . . ."


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan casually struck out several seals. Star Abyss''s expression could not help changing when he saw the situation. "Wandering Seal!"


    Ye Yuan made a move again. Star Abyss was shocked once more. "Green Lotus Seal!"


    "Seven Evils Kindred Seal!"


    ". . . . . ."


    Each seal that Ye Yuan struck out, Star Abyss''s throat would raise an octave. At the back, he was practically about to use the Lion''s Roar.


    "I wonder if these can prove that the Li Daohang I know is your master?" Ye Yuan asked with an amused look.


    Star Abyss nodded like a chicken pecking for rice. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with awe and veneration!


    This 16-year-old youth before his eyes was really an Alchemy Emperor powerhouse that took over a body to rebirth?


    "These are all the seals that Master used to rise to fame. That person . . . is really Master!" Star Abyss no longer doubted.


    Ye Yuan said scornfully, "Relying on these lousy things and also being able to become famous. No wonder his level was so trash!It means veiled insults

 394 Shattering Fantasy

    "You! If you dare to speak impertinently about Master again, I won''t be courteous!"


    Ye Yuan repeatedly belittled Li Daohang over and over again. Finally, it made Star Abyss unable to bear it and explode.


    But how could Ye Yuan bother with his feelings?


    "How did Li Daohang that boy teach you? Don''t you have any consciousness of honoring and respecting your teachers?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Star Abyss crumbled and said, "Of course I respect and honor my teachers! But what has this got to do with you?"


    "Although I didn''t take Li Daohang in as my disciple, no matter what, he followed me for nearly a hundred years too. It''s not too much for me to say that I''m half a teacher to him. If you being impolite to me is not disrespecting your teacher, then what is it?"


    "This . . ."


    "En, now, I''m a tiger that landed in the plains. If you still wish to kill me, do as you please. But, if you ascend to the Divine Realm in the future, be sure not to go and find Li Daohang. If he knows that you killed me, he''ll smack you to death in one palm without hesitation at all. Of course, with your talent, ascending to the Divine Realm is probably also something very challenging."


    ". . . . . ."


    Star Abyss ruminated over it. Clearly he fell into a dilemma.


    The person that he respected the most in this life was Li Daohang, while this young man before his eyes actually said that he was Li Daohang''s half a teacher. Wouldn''t that mean that he was his grandteacher?


    If Ye Yuan really died in his hands, wouldn''t he really become someone who betrayed his master and forefathers?


    But this person was an Alchemy Emperor who took over a body to rebirth!


    How powerful an Alchemy Emperor was, Star Abyss completely had no notion at all. But he knew that it was very, very powerful. Powerful until he was simply unable to imagine it!


    The present Ye Yuan in front of him was akin to an ant, while if he was in front of an Alchemy Emperor, he did not even count as an ant; insignificant like a speck of dust.


    Such a figure was way more terrifying than any genius character!


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength was not formidable, his various kinds of means were inconceivable. Before long, he would become an extremely terrifying opponent of His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!


    To kill or not to kill?


    Ye Yuan just looked at Star Abyss like this and was not in a hurry to press him.


    He was not very clear about this Star Abyss''s disposition. But he was still very clear about Li Daohang''s moral character.


    Li Daohang was a very talented and very hardworking person. While he did not take in him as his disciple, Li Daohang treated him as his master all along, silently following by his side for close to a hundred years.


    Of course, in this hundred years, his harvest was also tremendous, growing from an Alchemy Ancestor to an Alchemy Venerable expert!


    As for Star Abyss, Ye Yuan actually still had some confidence.


    Previously, when he mentioned Li Daohang, that sort of revering and respectful expression did not seem to be fake.


    Indeed, after Star Abyss mused for quite a while, he sucked in a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, "I can let you off too. But you have to guarantee not to let my Fierce Gale World''s people plunge into misery and suffering."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re overthinking it! This sort of thing like a war between two worlds is a matter as big as the heavens to you all. But to me, it essentially counts for nothing. My horizons have never been on this plane! After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you''ll naturally understand the meaning of these words of mine."


    Star Abyss was dazed. Thinking about it, that was true too.


    To an Alchemy Emperor, the matters of the Lower Realms were too inconsequential.


    "That will be good!" Star Abyss heaved a sigh in relief.


    "If the war between two worlds can''t be avoided, I most likely won''t be able to detach myself from it. There are my present kin and friends over there. I have no way of watching them all become Fierce Gale World slaves! However, I can ensure you that I won''t help the Endless World invade the Fierce Gale World. Honestly speaking, if you have the capabilities, you can persuade the Wind Emperor not to invade the Endless World. This way, we can all be happy." Ye Yuan said.


    Star Abyss gave a bitter laugh. "Easier said than done. You''ve also seen the Fierce Gale World''s living conditions. It''s impossible for His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, to give up this war."


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Foolish! Once the war between two worlds launches, it will only plunge the people into an abyss of misery and suffering! Even if the Fierce Gale World wins, it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory too. He used improving living conditions as a pretense to invade another world, isn''t it in order to satisfy his own selfish interests? To plunder more cultivation resources? At that time, the ones dead will be his citizens, but the beneficiary will be him, this high and lofty Wind Emperor, His Majesty!"


    But Star Abyss disagreed. "Lord Wind Emperor is already standing at the pinnacle of the world. Why would he still have so much desire towards resources? Him doing so is of course for the millions of martial artists in the Fierce Gale World!"


    "Heh heh, you fool! Just a Boundless Realm. He''s standing at the top of the world? Still early! The greater one''s strength, the greater the requirements towards resources! Otherwise, he could have shattered the void and left long ago with his strength. Why is he still reluctant to leave the Lower Realms? Because he knows that if he went to the Divine Realm, he would only vanish into the faces of the crowd!" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    Star Abyss wanted to refute but felt that any words were very feeble.


    "This . . . Impossible!" Star Abyss said impossible, but he was already convinced in his heart.


    "Hur hur. Although you''re the Alchemist Association''s Association Head, your strength is not there yet. There are still many things that you don''t know. But he, as the ruler of a world, knows way more things than you do! Don''t look at how you can summon rain and clouds in the capital. After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you''re also just a servant. The intensity of the competition in the Divine Realm is what the current you simply cannot imagine! The vast majority of the martial artists who ascend would croak before even enduring pass the initial stage after going to the Divine Realm," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan spoke indifferently. But Star Abyss''s hair stood on its ends from shock after hearing it.


    To him, the Divine Realm was a holy and pure land; a paradise.


    There were limitless cultivation resources over there and countless powerhouses. It was the playground for martial artists and alchemists.


    But Ye Yuan''s words shattered all of his fantasies to smithereens.


    "But . . . I''m in charge of a world''s Alchemist Association. There''s also hard work even if I haven''t performed meritorious deeds, right? Can it be that the Alchemist Association completely doesn''t care about my life and death at all?" Star Abyss asked in bewilderment.


    "Of course they care! The Divine Realm''s resources are indeed abundant until you can''t imagine it. However, there are also so many martial artists that you can''t imagine it. Alchemists are similarly so many that you can''t imagine it! Especially in a place like the Alchemist Association. It has the strongest bunch of alchemists in the Divine Realm. The alchemists that ascend are also countless. If resources are distributed equally, then the Alchemist Association would not have been able to make ends meet. Although you also have some cleverness in trivial matters, you''re still a lot worse compared to Li Daohang. Do you feel that you can get the Alchemist Association''s emphasis?"


    Ye Yuan''s words were like a small hammer, shattering Star Abyss''s glass heart bit by bit.


    Star Abyss felt like his world outlook instantly disintegrated; his entire being lost his bearings.


    People were aware of their own affairs. Star Abyss''s talent in alchemy might be top-notch in the Fierce Gale World, but there were countless lower planes. He was nothing impressive among them and even less of a something after reaching the Divine Realm.


    Ye Yuan saying that he would go to the Alchemist Association to do menial labor was possibly already giving him face!


    "Then . . . Then what should I do?" Star Abyss was utterly confused.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Li Daohang was smarter than you and more talented than you. So he did not join the Alchemist Association. His skin was also thick enough to beg me to take him in. But you''ve already stuck on the Alchemist Association''s label and can only pave a bloody path for yourself. The prerequisite is that you have the capabilities!"

 395 Conflic

    Star Abyss was completely befuddled!


    In truth, the Fierce Gale World''s Alchemist Association basically had no relations with the Divine Realm.


    This seemed to be a forgotten land.


    Of course, this could not be blamed on others either. Who asked the Fierce Gale World''s Alchemy Path to be very underdeveloped?


    Hence, Star Abyss''s understanding of the Divine Realm was entirely fantasized by himself.


    He only knew how na?ve he was after listening to Ye Yuan''s words now.


    Star Abyss did not doubt Ye Yuan''s words, because his words were the most logical! It was just that he imagined it without basis to give himself an intense psychological hint that the Divine Realm was a beautiful place.


    Yet, this was simply impossible.


    Straightening out his thinking, Star Abyss suddenly bowed towards Ye Yuan and said respectfully, "Star Abyss is ignorant! Senior, please point out the right path!"


    Unknowingly, Star Abyss already took Ye Yuan to be an old monster like existence, and quietly changed his form of address.


    Ye Yuan reached out a hand to prop him up and said with a sigh, "You''re also aware of what happened to me now. How can I dare to receive your solemn grace? I think you also know that me saying this is actually just in order for you to let me off and to carry on living. This is far from showing you the right part, but I can still manage to let you ascend to the Divine Realm."


    Knowing when to stop and go over the limit was as bad as falling short.


    The disparity in strength between Ye Yuan and Star Abyss was too great. He wasted his breath talking until now in order to make Star Abyss open his mouth to beg him.


    As long as Star Abyss required Ye Yuan''s assistance, he naturally would not harm him.


    One must not have malicious intentions, but also must not be without caution against others. Although he had Li Daohang this layer of relationship between Star Abyss, Ye Yuan had to take precaution against him.


    Only by arousing the desire within Star Abyss''s heart could he guarantee complete success.


    Indeed, when Star Abyss heard these words, he became unbelievably agitated!


    "How will Senior teach me?" Star Abyss asked excitedly.


    "You''re Li Daohang''s disciple. I believe you do not lack in soul cultivation techniques. But you''re only at the middle-stage sovereign level today, indicating that it''s already very hard for you to break through again," Ye Yuan said.


    Star Abyss had an abashed look as he said, "I''ve lost face for Master."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Lost what face? That boy himself wasn''t much either. Followed me for a hundred years and didn''t even break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. That''s called losing face! The Fierce Gale World''s resources are sparse, and it''s indeed not suitable for alchemists to break through. For you to be able to cultivate to such a realm was already not very easy."


    This was not Ye Yuan deliberately posturing in front of Star Abyss. The Medicine King Hall truly had many Alchemy Emperor experts.


    The person that he brought along for a hundred years had yet to break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. This made him feel very ashamed.


    Alchemy Emperor Realm was not the pinnacle for alchemists. It was only another beginning. Similarly being an Alchemy Emperor expert, there was a distance of a heavenly chasm between Ye Yuan and the rest.


    From low-rank to peak Alchemy Emperor, this was a gulf that many people could not cross in their entire lives!


    Ye Yuan was famed as the person most likely to become an Alchemy God precisely because his speed when breaking through to peak Alchemy Emperor was too quick!


    So swift that it made those long renowned peak Alchemy Emperor powerhouses perspire from shame!


    Hearing Ye Yuan scold Li Daohang once again, Star Abyss wished that he did not hear it. Right now, he could only pretend to not have heard it and played possum as he said, "Could it be that Senior has a way to let me break through to Perfection Sovereign Level?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Have you ever heard of Soul Meld Pill?"


    Star Abyss''s entire body quivered, and he exclaimed in shock, "Senior can actually refine the Soul Meld Pill?! I''ve seen that before in the association''s records. That''s a legendary level Tier 5 medicinal pill!"


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "You should have thrown away those lousy records in the Fierce Gale World long ago. How does the Soul Meld Pill count as some legendary level medicinal pill? You don''t think that an Alchemy Emperor can''t even refine a Tier 5 medicinal pill, right?"


    "Cough, cough, cough . . ." Star Abyss nearly choked and said, "Star Abyss''s knowledge is shallow. I''ve incurred ridicule from Senior."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "But, I can only give you an empty promise. My current strength can''t refine it at all. After I have sufficient strength, I''ll come and find you."


    Star Abyss was overjoyed and said, "No worries, no worries! Star Abyss can afford to wait! Oh, right, Senior previously said that Master he . . . What does that mean?"


    Ye Yuan gave Star Abyss a look and said with an emotional sigh, "Looks like you still have some feelings toward Li Daohang that chap. At least his teachings were not in vain. However, I really don''t know how he''s like now. Back then, only a wisp of my soul escaped to the Endless World. I completely couldn''t care about other things."


    Li Daohang''s life and death was fully grasped in the hands of Ji Canglan.


    If Ji Canglang carried out a large-scale cleansing crazily, Li Daohang''s little life would probably be very hard to preserve. If Ji Canglan still took into consideration some old feelings, Li Daohang might survive.


    But Ye Yuan felt that the possibility of the latter was higher. It was just that he could not very well say it to Star Abyss.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s despondent expression, Star Abyss also knew that his question poked Ye Yuan''s sore spot. But he also secretly started worrying for Li Daohang.


    . . . . . .


    Coming out from Star Abyss''s place, Ye Yuan headed straight for Shi Haoran''s place. Before going in, he entrusted White Light to Shi Haoran.


    However, when Ye Yuan came to Shi Haoran''s place, he did not see Shi Haoran''s silhouette, while White Light was being hugged in the embrace of an extremely beautiful girl with a face full of grievance.


    Beside the girl stood a handsome and suave yellow shirt youth.


    "Hehe, you can''t escape from the palm of my hands this time, right, little white tiger?" Shangguan Lingxue said playfully.


    Shangguan Lingxue had Sea Transformation Realm strength. How could White Light contend with that?


    Under Shangguan Lingxue''s despotic power, White Light could only be in her embrace obediently.


    Ye Yuan jumped in fright when he saw the situation. Wasn''t this girl the one who brought him into the capital? Why would she appear here?


    The freaking thing was that Ye Yuan saw a boundless scenic view when he was kept under her skirt back then.


    Now that he saw her in the flesh, Ye Yuan felt very awkward in his heart.


    Ye Yuan instinctively wanted to dodge aside, but it was already too late. Shangguan Lingxue and that yellow shirt youth already saw him.


    "Why are you, a servant, so ignorant of the rules? This place is a restricted pill refinement place. How can you freely enter and leave?" said the yellow shirt youth with a frown.


    He knew all of Star Abyss''s seven great disciples. There wasn''t Ye Yuan at all. Plus, Ye Yuan''s strength was meager and his attire was ordinary. The yellow shirt youth subconsciously thought that Ye Yuan was a servant.


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. This yellow shirt youth''s overbearing attitude made him very displeased.


    Putting aside that Ye Yuan was not a servant, even if he really was a servant, there was no need to be like this either, right?


    This sort of ordering people about with a gesture attitude made it seem like everyone owed him something. Was there a need for that?


    Seeing Ye Yuan keeping silent, the yellow shirt youth was even more displeased. "What? Didn''t you hear what I said? Get lost!"


    As he said, he flicked his sleeves. An extremely powerful force hurtled towards Ye Yuan. It actually wanted to forcefully push Ye Yuan outside!


    This yellow shirt youth was at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm. In his view, this move was naturally more than ample to deal with the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm Ye Yuan.


    Yet, that force wind just howled past Ye Yuan''s body like this, while Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well without even moving a muscle!

 396 He Must Die Today!

    "En? You have quite a knack in doing things!"


    The yellow shirt youth was slightly stunned. He did not think that a mere Second Level Crystal Formation Realm could actually block the force of his flick so effortlessly.


    "White Light, come here. Let''s go," Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with this wildly arrogant youth and lightly called out.


    White Light gave a low roar and struggled free from Shangguan Lingxue''s embrace. In a blink of an eye, he arrived behind Ye Yuan, trying to hide.


    "Mm? He''s called White Light? A very nice name. Is he a little white tiger that you''re raising?" Shangguan Lingxue blinked her eyes and asked Ye Yuan curiously.


    "So what if yes?" Ye Yuan answered indecisively.


    The yellow shirt youth''s actions made Ye Yuan rather displeased. The hate for the house extended even to the birds perching on it. Ye Yuan naturally did not have much favorable impression towards Shangguan Lingxue too.


    Shangguan Lingxue had yet to speak when the yellow shirt youth reprimanded, "Insolence! Do you know who she is? To actually dare to be so impudent!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him indifferently and said, "Impudent? I wonder who''s the one shouting and wrangling here, reversing the order of host and guest? Still say that others are impudent?"


    The yellow shirt youth sneered coldly and said, "Reversing the order of host and guest? You mean that you''re the owner of this place? I wonder since when did Sovereign Star Abyss''s dojo become your territory?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don''t know? It''s something not long ago."


    Since when had the yellow shirt youth suffered such provocation? He laughed from extreme anger and said, "Good! I''ll lug you before Sovereign Star Abyss and ask him if this place is your territory!"


    Shangguan Lingxue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Seventh Prince, don''t!"


    But it was already too late. Seventh Prince arrived beside Ye Yuan at lightning speed!


    "Be careful! Ahh!" Shangguan Lingxue could not bear to see Ye Yuan''s tragic state and closed her eyes as if she was in pain.


    But it was only to hear a whistle. Then there was silence.


    Several breaths had passed, yet, Shangguan Lingxue did not hear any activities. She could not help opening her eyes curiously.


    With this look, Shangguan Lingxue could not help being greatly startled. Ye Yuan was currently standing and facing Seventh Price far away and actually looked like he was completely unscathed!


    My God. A Second Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist actually dodged an attack from the number one person in the capital''s junior generation!


    Who in the world was this young man?


    "Heh heh, indeed have some capabilities. No wonder you dare to be so impertinent in front of this prince! But, you''re still a little green in the end!" Seventh Prince snickered coldly.


    En? Could it be . . .


    Shangguang Lingxue looked towards Ye Yuan again. Indeed, she saw a trace of fresh blood flowing down along the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth. He sustained injuries in the end.


    But to be able to escape with his life from Seventh Prince''s hands, this young man was already very remarkable!


    In the entire capital, only big brother Shangguan Lingyun could contend with him. The effects of other people were only to serve as a foil to his might.


    "Roar!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan injured, the White Light beside Ye Yuan became restless with anxiety.


    Ye Yuan had the intention to stop, but his internal injuries were not light. It was already too late!


    Only to hear a whoosh, a streak of white light left an afterimage behind in midair as it pounced towards Seventh Prince!


    Seventh Price laughed coldly and struck with one hand, accurately hitting that streak of white light!


    Crash!


    White Light was sent flying out, crashing onto tea-table, smashing the tea-table into smithereens.


    "White Light! Puhwark!"


    Seeing White Light get injured, Ye Yuan could not help getting very anxious. With a jerk, it affected his wounds, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "Humph! A Tier 2 little beast. As overconfident as your master! Asking for trouble!" Seventh Prince said with a cold snort.


    Seeing White Light being wounded, Shangguan Lingxue also became anxious and said, "Your Highness, they didn''t intentionally offend you either. How can you deal such a heavy blow?"


    As she spoke, Shangguan Lingxue arrived at White Light''s side with a large stride, wanting to carry him up.


    But just as her hands were about to touch White Light, White Light suddenly vanished before her eyes!


    "Ah! You damn little animal! I''m going to kill you!"


    Following that, Shangguang Lingxue heard Seventh Princes''s shocked and furious voice.


    Turning around to look, she saw that Seventh Prince''s face had a few extra claw marks. Clearly, they were left behind by White Light.


    Shangguan Lingxue''s eyes involuntarily revealed astonishment. A Tier 2 little white tiger actually wounded Seventh Prince?


    What was the background of this one person and one beast? Each of them actually had such extraordinary skills!


    But White Light who succeeded in one try already returned to Ye Yuan''s embrace, dripping with fresh blood, looking horrifyingly ghastly. His injuries were clearly very severe.


    That slap from Seventh Prince earlier was really not light at all!


    Ye Yuan lightly caressed White Light. Taking in a deep breath, he said to Seventh Prince, "Seventh Prince, right? Very good. I''ve remembered this!"


    Ye Yuan and White Light were together day and night. He had long treated him as an indispensable part of his own life already.


    To talk about feelings, his feelings towards White Light was even deeper compared to Mo Yuntian and the rest!


    Seventh Prince actually beat White Light to such a manner. This was something that Ye Yuan could not accept. Hence . . . he had to suffer Ye Yuan''s wrath!


    This Seventh Prince was indeed well-deserving of being the number one expert among the capital''s junior generation. His strength was truly peerlessly powerful!


    Although his realm was similar to Lan Bao''s, his true combat power was not even on the same level as Lan Bao.


    This Seventh Prince similarly comprehended true intent!


    Hence, that one exchange earlier, Ye Yuan could not fully evade Seventh Prince''s attack and sustained considerable internal injuries.


    Under the situation where his movement technique could not gain any advantage, Ye Yuan''s realm became his greatest shortfall. There was a full major realm disparity between the two of them!


    Ye Yuan just sustaining injuries was already the best outcome.


    Seventh Prince who had always feared neither heaven nor earth actually could not help shuddering when he saw Ye Yuan''s ice cold eyes.


    En? What''s going on? I . . . actually feel fear? How is that possible? Seventh Prince could not quite believe it in his heart.


    "Heh heh, still want to take revenge? That will also have to see if you have that opportunity!" Seven Prince grinned hideously.


    This Seventh Prince was decisive in killing, taking action when he said so and completely did not say a word of rubbish!


    His voice had yet to fade when his person already arrived in front of Ye Yuan. His movement technique was swift to the extreme!


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and displayed his movement technique. At the same time, he condensed out a small handful of Thousand Flowing Petals to block in front of him.


    Bang!


    Even so, Ye Yuan was still sent flying out.


    Seventh Prince''s speed was too fast. Ye Yuan simply could not dodge in time!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan vomited blood again. But he adamantly safeguarded White Light in his bosom and did not let him sustain a single bit of shock.


    White Light''s injuries were already very severe. If he received damage again, he would die.


    If this were not the case, Ye Yuan would not clash head-on with Seventh Price either.


    "Enough, Your Highness, Seventh Prince!" Shangguan Lingxue admonished.


    Seventh Prince said flatly, "Lingxue, you should know my temperament. I absolutely won''t permit anyone or anything that threatens my existence! This boy is rather abnormal. If I let him grow unchecked, he might really be able to threaten me! Therefore, he must die today!"


    As he said, Seventh Prince placed his hands together. An extremely powerful essence energy undulation spread out!

 397 Scram!

    Seventh Prince''s personality was extremely overbearing. He probably only maintained his friendliness and smiles in front of Shangguan Lingxue.


    Towards some latent threats, Seventh Prince had always exterminated them while they were still in their budding state!


    Ye Yuan was actually able to evade two of his attacks consecutively with Second Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. This was something utterly inconceivable.


    Therefore, he decided to kill Ye Yuan!


    Even if Shangguan Lingxue barred the way, he also had to kill Ye Yuan!


    "Boy, in the capital, nobody dares to oppose me, Zhao Chenggan! All those who set themselves against me are already dead. You won''t be an exception too! Don''t blame me either. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for not growing eyes, to provoke an existence such as myself!" Seventh Prince said icily.


    Finished talking, his figure moved, and already arrived before Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    A huge explosion. Zhao Chenggan''s figure fell back over a dozen steps before barely managing to stop his body.


    His palm being returned, Zhao Chenggan''s internal organs were in a disorderly mess.


    "A-Alchemy King Shi!" Seeing the arrival clearly, Zhao Chenggan said in surprise.


    The arrival was precisely Shi Haoran!


    He turned around to take a look at the severely wounded Ye Yuan, his brows involuntarily knitted together.


    "Alright?"


    "Won''t die!"


    "Okay. Then you tend to your injuries. Leave the rest to me."


    "No. I won''t die. Borrow senior''s pill refinement room to use!"


    "En. Go ahead."


    Ye Yuan casually took out a medicinal pill to consume and carried White Light into the pill refinement room. He did not look at Zhao Chenggan from start to end.


    Zhao Chenggan''s brows furrowed. He said to Shi Haoran, "Alchemy King Shi, he''s your junior? Why haven''t I heard about it before?"


    Shi Haoran did not answer him. Raising one hand, a medicinal pill appeared in his hand.


    Only to see him release gently. The medicinal pill fell. He grabbed it in his hand and casually rubbed it. A pile of powder fell from the palm of his hand.


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingxue''s expression changed.


    They came to find Shi Haoran precisely for the sake of requesting a medicinal pill from him.


    Shi Haoran did not come out the entire time because he was refining the medicinal pill for them. That was why he did not detect the commotion outside.


    Now that the medicinal pill was already refined, Shi Haoran actually destroyed it in front of them!


    "You guys, leave. Don''t come back in the future. This place doesn''t welcome you! Of course, if Junior Apprentice Brother Ji forgives you, I won''t say much. Please!"


    Shi Haoran made a please leave gesture. The meaning of showing guests the door was already perfectly clear.


    Zhao Chenggan''s facial expression flickered erratically. Within this capital, he had always been high and lofty. Never had he suffered such treatment.


    Even prior to this, Shi Haoran was all smiles towards him. For the sake of this brat, Shi Haoran actually fell out with him!


    "Alchemy King Shi, it was this boy who offended me. That''s why I made a move to punish him. Furthermore, I wasn''t aware that he was your junior. That''s why there was this misunderstanding." Zhao Chenggang explained.


    Shi Haoran''s strength was extremely formidable. He also had exceedingly high status in the capital.


    Zhao Chenggan felt that there was the need to explain to him. After all, this sort of thing like offending the Alchemist Association was not something amusing.


    Although Shi Haoran could not represent the Alchemist Association, he was Sovereign Star Abyss''s strongest eldest disciple.


    To a very large degree, his attitude represented Sovereign Star Abyss''s attitude!


    Zhao Chenggan never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually Shi Haoran''s junior. It was a little troublesome this time.


    But, he also had immense faith towards his own identity and strength. He believed that Shi Haoran would not easily offend him either.


    One had to know that behind him stood the Fierce Gale World''s most powerful, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!


    Yet, he was too na?ve.


    "I have no interest in hearing which of you is right or wrong. I only saw you trying to kill him just now! So, you can scram now!" Shi Haoran said coolly.


    Zhao Chenggan was enraged upon hearing that and said, "Shi Haoran, me explaining to you is giving you face! You don''t fail to appreciate others'' kindness! Could it be that you wish to let the Alchemist Association break away from His Majesty, the Wind Emperor?"


    "Me making you scram is already taking into account His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s face. Otherwise, do you think that you can leave Qixia Mountain alive? Alright, if you still don''t get lost, I''m going to make a move!" Shi Haoran did not give face in the slightest.


    Zhao Chenggan''s expression changed again and again. Shi Haoran had always had a benign and uncontentious appearance. Today''s Shi Haoran was his first time seeing it.


    "Fine! I''ll leave! You''ll regret it, Shi Haoran! Lingxue, let''s go!" Zhao Chenggan gritted his teeth and said.


    Shi Haoran placed both hands behind his back and did not even look at them.


    . . . . . .


    Around an hour later, Ye Yuan walked out of the pill refinement room carrying White Light. Shi Haoran hurriedly went forward to greet him.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan''s complexion was very pale, Shi Haoran said with a frown, "You''re really messing around! Suffering such heavy injuries and still forcefully refining pills. Wouldn''t that pile injury on top of injuries?"


    Just now, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill whole and did not have time to refine the medicinal effect at all before entering seclusion to refine pills.


    Although it was only refining a Tier 2 demonic pill, Ye Yuan was heavily wounded. After vomiting blood several times in succession, it already added injuries on top of injuries.


    Seeing Shi Haoran being concerned, Ye Yuan felt his heart warm. He forced a smile and said, "No worries. I''m fine. White Light''s injuries are very severe. If I don''t help him refine medicinal pills, the outcome is hard to say."


    Shi Haoran heaved a sigh and said, "You''re somebody who values sentiments greatly. To actually do things to this extent for your contract beast! You, this Junior, I acknowledge you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "White Light and I don''t have a contractual relationship. We''re equals. We''re just like family. How can I watch him die?"


    Shi Haoran said in astonishment, "En? You guys actually don''t have a contractual relationship?! This little white tiger is only Tier 2, and he''s actually so capable of perceiving the thoughts of humans!"


    Under ordinary circumstances, humans could only own a contract beast by thoroughly subjugating a demonic beast and forcing it to sign a divine soul contract.


    But this little white tiger had no contractual relationship with Ye Yuan and actually even threw away its own life for him. This was something that Shi Haoran had never heard of before.


    "Indeed so," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    White Light this little fellow''s origins was very mysterious. Even Ye Yuan could not figure it out. Being intelligent was also not something rare.


    "En? What medicinal pill did you refine for him? Why doesn''t he have any reaction at all?"


    Shi Haoran noticed that White Light was not quite right. Logically speaking, after consuming medicinal pills, one''s spirit would be a little better. But White Light did not stir at all.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I don''t know what''s happening too. After he consumed the medicinal pill, he fell into a state of deep sleep. But I can sense that his aura is currently in the midst of gradual recovery. It should be fine."


    Shi Haoran observed closely and saw that it was indeed so. He could not help clicking his tongue in surprise.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of Zhao Chenggan and opened his mouth to ask, "Oh, right, where''s that Seventh Prince?"


    Shi Haoran curled his lips and said, "I made him get lost!"


    As he said, Shi Haoran briefly recounted the matter just now for Ye Yuan, making Ye Yuan stare with his mouth agape after hearing it.


    He only smiled bitterly after a long while and said, "Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. Why was there a need for that, senior?"

 398 Sanctions!

    "Junior, have you forgotten what I said to you? Us disciples under Sovereign Star Abyss don''t have to look at other people''s countenance when doing things. This is where our confidence lie! Seventh Prince injured you and even wanted to kill you. That''s provoking our Dao Yan lineage! Making him get lost is already on account of Wind Emperor''s face. Otherwise, I would definitely help Junior vent this anger!" Shi Haoran said coolly.


    Ye Yuan did not think that a mere Alchemy King actually had such courage!


    Speaking of which . . . it was really quite like Li Daohang that chap''s character!


    That boy, apart from being very cautious around him and treating him with the courtesy of a teacher from beginning to the end, he would speak brusquely to others; an appearance like Your Father was number one under the heaven.


    Seemed like this problem of his was successfully passed down to his disciple, which passed on to his grand-students.


    Although he had not seen this side of Star Abyss yet, it was presumably around the same.


    "Haha! I don''t need that! This sort of thing like taking revenge, I love to do it the most! Looks like . . . everybody thinks that my cultivation realm is low and easy to bully!" Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed. It was uncertain what he was thinking about.


    Shi Haoran thought that Ye Yuan was lamenting and could not help patting his shoulders as he consoled, "Junior, you''re only 16-years-old and already at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm. This speed is already very fast. When Seventh Prince was at your age, he was at most Spirit Condensation Realm. You''re way stronger than him! This sort of thing like raising realm can''t be rushed. It''s best to proceed steadily step by step."


    In Shi Haoran''s view, Ye Yuan had such accomplishments at a young age. He surely considered himself to be self-important.


    Yet he suffered a blow from Seventh Prince today. This was likely very hard for Ye Yuan to accept.


    If Ye Yuan ruined his foundation because he rushed to break through realms, that would be losing the main goal because of small gains.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much for Senior''s concern. I have a sense of propriety."


    Shi Haoran only relaxed after seeing that Ye Yuan''s eyes had regained tranquility. He said, "You recover from your injuries first. After two days, I''ll introduce the other fellow apprentices for you to get to know."


    Ye Yuan nodded and did not say anything else.


    . . . . . .


    On the second day, Ye Yuan was notified to gather at the main hall.


    By the time he reached, there were already six to seven people there. Each one of them sized up Ye Yuan curiously.


    Ye Yuan was also sizing them up curiously. Barring no accidents, these few people should be those new seniors of his.


    At this time, Shi Haoran also accompanied Star Abyss and slowly walked out.


    "Master!" Everyone greeted in unison.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not be a maverick. He could only bow along.


    Star Abyss nodded slightly and opened his mouth to say, "I believe that you''re all aware Master accepted a new disciple yesterday. It''s Ji Qing. Come, you all get to know each other. Haoran, give an introduction."


    Shi Haoran came to the center of everyone and said to Ji Qing, "Come, I''ll introduce to you a few seniors. This fatso is your Second Senior Brother, Tang Zhi."


    Ye Yuan said, "Ji Qing has seen Second Senior Brother."


    That fatty laughed and said, "Junior brother is indeed a fine-looking man! I heard that you were actually able to reach the Legendary Realm. Truly remarkable!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not at all. It was all luck yesterday."


    Shi Haoran smiled as he dragged a blue shirt youth over, introducing, "This is your Third Senior Brother, You Guang."


    Ye Yuan similarly gave a bow. You Guang smiled and said, "Junior brother is already a middle-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at such a young age. I think that in the future, you''ll surely surpass your predecessors!"


    Ye Yuan went along with a smile.


    Next, was the Fourth Senior Brother Zhu Liang, Fifth Senior Brother Cheng Su, Sixth Senior Brother Jiang Yu, as well as Seventh Senior Brother Wu Huilong.


    There were actually three Alchemy Kings among these seven people and four High-Rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings. The might of these few people were clear at a glance.


    Li Daohang''s lineage, while few in numbers, each one was able to hold a front.


    But through Shi Haoran''s introduction, only Third Senior Brother You Guang held a position in the Alchemist Association among these seven people. The rest had been following Star Abyss all along to cultivate and did not mingle with secular affairs.


    Seemed like this Star Abyss had quite the attainments in this aspect of teaching disciples.


    When Shi Haoran finished the introductions, Star Abyss suddenly opened his mouth to say, "You all don''t look at how number eight''s age is younger than yours. His alchemy strength is stronger than all of you! In the future, if you have any queries in alchemy that you don''t understand, feel free to consult him."


    "What? Consult little Junior Brother? Master, isn''t this statement used a little incorrectly?" said number four, Zhu Liang.


    "Yeah, Master. Not that we''re looking down on little junior brother, but we''ve followed you for so many years and have more or less learned some smatterings. It can''t be to such an extent where we can''t even match little Junior Brother, right?" Number Seven Wu Huilong was evidently quite reluctant to yield.


    Star Abyss narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Your little Junior Brother had a fortuitous encounter before entering my tutelage. His alchemy abilities are unfathomable; more than ample to be half your teacher. You all don''t have to make such a huge fuss over nothing and don''t need to argue with me either. Those who are unwilling to submit can very well challenge him. Of course, his age is young. You guys don''t use cultivation realm to bully him."


    Shi Haoran and Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi were still alright. But the other peoples'' faces more or less had a hint of unnatural expression. Clearly, they begged to differ on Star Abyss''s words.


    Ye Yuan''s performance yesterday in the Grand Pill Assembly, they had already heard a little to some extent.


    But what one heard might be false, while what one saw would be real. Ye Yuan was definitely remarkable, but it was also not remarkable to the extent where he could be their teacher, right?


    Ye Yuan kept quiet the entire time, but he had already cursed Star Abyss''s predecessors countless times over in his heart.


    This old punk actually made him help him teach his disciples without even giving him a heads-up!


    Asking an Alchemy Emperor to help guide his disciples. To think that this fellow could do it!


    Seemed like this old punk also came around a little and wanted to exploit his value.


    Sigh. Who asked him to owe this old fellow such a great favor?


    Yesterday, Ye Yuan already reached a consensus with Star Abyss. Star Abyss would help him inquire about his fellow apprentices'' news. If there was a possibility, Star Abyss would directly make a move to get that person out.


    Ye Yuan''s identity was not suited to get people, but Star Abyss was different. Nobody would suspect him!


    With Star Abyss making a move, wanting to rescue his fellow apprentices should be much easier.


    "Seniors, don''t listen to Master talking rubbish. If there are any queries, we fellow apprentices should have more exchanges. Everybody improve together," Ye Yuan said modestly.


    These few people''s expressions only became slightly better after hearing Ye Yuan''s words.


    They were all people who were hundreds of years old. Asking them to consult a little child, they really could not quite get past their psychological barrier!


    Star Abyss opened his mouth again at this time to say calmly, "There''s also an incident that happened yesterday. His Highness, the Seventh Prince, actually almost killed number eight in our Qixia Mountain! This made me very displeased! Looks like our Alchemist Association has been amicable for far too long. Nobody takes us seriously anymore!"


    "Sss . . . there''s actually such a thing?"


    "Zhao Chenggan this person is very overbearing. This really seems like something he would do."


    "Heh heh, looks like Master, his elderly self, is going to fly off the handle this time! It''s been so long since I saw Master go wild. Really looking forward to it!"


    Indeed, Star Abyss said slowly, "From today onwards, the Alchemist Association and my Dao Yan Lineage will stop helping everyone from the Imperial Family to refine medicinal pills, and we will carry out an all-around sanction on them!"

 399 Remembered Wrongly

    Jin Huanzhen was the Swift Wind Guards'' high-level commander, a Soul Sea Realm expert. These few days, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, mobilized the troops. Naturally, it could not do without the Swift Wind Guards.


    This team that Jin Huanzhen commanded was about to set off for the frontlines very soon.


    When soldiers go out to battle, medicinal pills and weapons naturally could not be dispensed with.


    Especially medicinal pills. It was far too important to a team. The quantity and quality of medicinal pills concerned their survival rate and ability to sustain in battle.


    A few days ago, the Swift Wind Guards ordered a batch of medicinal pills from the Alchemist Association.


    And today, it was precisely the date to collect the medicinal pills.


    Jin Huanzhen came to the Alchemist Association to find Yang Xiu but was stopped by his disciple outside the door.


    "Oh, Lin Yi huh? How have you been recently?"


    Jin Huanzhen frequently had dealings with Yang Xiu. He was naturally very familiar with his eldest disciple, Lin Yi.


    If it were before, Lin Yi would have bowed and greeted long ago. But today, his nose turned up towards the skies, looking like he could not see anyone.


    "Master is currently refining pills. If there''s something, come back another day," Lin Yi said very coldly.


    Jin Huanzhen''s brows furrowed, and he was rather unhappy in his heart.


    Putting aside the fact that his relationship with Yang Xiu was not shallow, he was the Alchemist Association''s big moneybag. Why was this Lin Yi''s words today so smelly and hard?


    "En. Elder Yang and I have made an arrangement long ago to come and collect medicinal pills today. Why would he just happen to be refining pills?" Jin Huanzhen said with a frown.


    "How should I know? I only know that Master made me guard here and not let some random shi*tty people come and interrupt his pill refinement!"


    Jin Huanzhen''s face darkened. He said unhappily, "What are you saying, Lin Yi? Elder Yang and I are old friends. I''m also some random sh*tty person? Like this; you go in and inform him. Just say that I came. It''s impossible that he won''t see me."


    Lin Yi was similarly displeased as he said, "Master is at the crucial moment of pill refinement. How can he be interrupted? If anything goes wrong with his pill refinement, can you shoulder this responsibility?"


    "You! Good, very good! Wait until I see Elder Yang. I''m going to ask him if I, Jin Huanzhen, am some random sh*tty person! Isn''t he refining pills? I''ll just wait here today!"


    Jin Huanzhen was furious to the extreme and decided to dawdle with this Lin Yi. But to really let him barge inside, he still did not have that gall.


    The Alchemist Association had the entire Fierce Gale World''s best alchemists. Furthermore, they were independent of the Wind Emperor''s jurisdiction. Nobody dared to provoke them.


    Lin Yi said that Yang Xiu was refining pills. If it really was some important medicinal pill, Jin Huanzhen really could not bear the responsibilities.


    Even in the Fierce Gale World where alchemy skills were undeveloped, while Jin Huanzhen and Yang Xiu were both Soul Sea Realms, Yang Xiu''s status was much higher than his.


    But Lin Yi said indifferently, "Go ahead!"


    Finished talking, Lin Yi ignored Jin Huanzhen and let him be.


    . . . . . .


    In a twinkle of an eye, eight hours passed. There was no activity inside at all.


    Jin Huanzhen paced about non-stop. Clearly, he was very restless and angry.


    He also did not know what was wrong with this Lin Yi today; the latter was purposely setting himself against him.


    He had waited here for many hours, but not only was there no cup of tea at all, Lin Yi even got people to remove all the chairs!


    Simple outrageous!


    Although to a Soul Sea Realm martial artist, standing for a couple of hours completely did not matter, this sort of contemptuous feel made him feel immense humiliation.


    Hard work did not let down the faithful. When the skies turned dark, Yang Xiu finally came out from the pill refinement room.


    Jin Huanzhen was overjoyed when he saw the situation and immediately switched to a smiley face as he went up to greet Yang Xiu. He said, "Elder Yang, this Jin has waited for you for a long time. You finally came out!"


    Yang Xiu smiled and said, "Oh, so, it''s Huanzhen huh? Looking for me for?"


    Jin Huanzhen was just about to speak when he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.


    Logically speaking, refining pills for such a long time, the alchemist''s soul force consumption would be tremendous. Even if it was not some important medicinal pill, it should also be somewhat exhausting.


    But Yang Xiu was full of spirit and energy, completely without the sense of any fatigue. Could this Lin Yi be lying to him?


    Right away, Jin Huanzhen probed with a sentence, "Elder Yang, were you . . . refining pills earlier?"


    Yang Xiu said puzzledly, "Refining pill? Not at all. I was researching some stuff in the pill refinement room. While researching, I lost track of time. To think that the sky already became dark."


    Jin Huanzhen gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Elder Yang, not that this Jin likes to rat on others, but this disciple of yours, Lin Yi, looks down on people way too much! When I came to find you, he actually said that you were refining pills, causing this Jin to wait bitterly outside for eight hours . . ."


    Jin Huanzhen poured out all the bitter water in his stomach and totally thought that Yang Xiu would reprimand Lin Yi fiercely. But, the development of the matter exceeded his expectations!


    Yang Xiu looked at Lin Yi and asked, "You told him that I was refining pills?"


    Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes."


    The conversation progressed until here. Jin Huanzhen was already prepared to watch the show by the side when Yang Xiu''s following words nearly made him vomit a mouthful of old blood.


    Only to see Yang Xiu slowly turned his head to Jin Huanzhen and said, "Oh, like that huh? It''s this old man who remembered wrongly just now. I was indeed refining medicinal pills the entire day! Sigh, getting old, becoming useless. If there''s anything, find me tomorrow. I have to head back to rest."


    Jin Huanzhen''s eyes became wide as saucers as he looked at Yang Xiu and did not recover for a long time. All the way until Yang Xiu left did he suddenly awaken and hastily chased after.


    "Wait a minute, Elder Yang! Wait a minute, Elder Yang!" Jin Huanzhen yelled out.


    Yang Xiu said impatiently, "Oh Huanzhen, today''s already very late. If there''s anything, talk again tomorrow!"


    Jin Huanzhen panicked as he said, "Don''t be like this, Elder Yang. The army is about to set out right away. I really can''t afford to delay! Elder Yang, that batch of medicinal pills of mine, is it . ."


    "Medicinal pills? What medicinal pills?" Yang Xiu said with a blank face.


    Seeing Yang Xiu''s expression, Jin Huanzhen''s heart palpitated. He hastily reminded, "Ten days ago, didn''t we agree to order a batch of medicinal pill from you?"


    "Is there such a thing? Why am I unaware? Old Brother, recently, our association''s orders are seriously too many. I can''t even manage it on my side. How about . . . you wait a while longer?" Yang Xiu reminded with good intentions.


    Jin Huanzhen was perfectly clear that Yang Xiu was deliberately troubling him here. But he was also utterly confused. He did not know how in the world he offended this mighty god.


    Yang Xiu''s status in the Alchemist Association was exceedingly high. Jin Huanzhen could not afford to offend. He could only urge, "Elder Yang, you''re clearly aware that our army is about to set off in a few days now. We . . . We can''t afford to wait!"


    Yang Xie spread his two hands out and said, "Then there''s no way about it. I''m really swamped over on this side. How about . . . Old Brother, you seek someone more qualified?"


    Jin Huanzhen cursed in his heart but had no choice but to ask cautiously. He said, "Elder Yang, I don''t know how Little Brother offended your elderly self. How about you express it a little?"


    Yang Xiu chuckled and said, "Not at all, not at all! Old Brother, you''re really thinking too much. I''m really busy over here! Alright, not talking anymore. My head is dizzy from refining pills. Heading back first to rest."


    The same scene played out everywhere in the alchemist capital . . .

 400 Admitting Fault!

    In a day and a night, several great commanders from the Swift Wind Guards gathered in a hall, each of them with tightly knitted eyebrows.


    "Old Jin, do you think that these group of people from the Alchemist Association went nuts? They don''t want to earn glimmering high-grade essence crystals. Is this shredding all pretenses of cordiality with us?" asked a commander bitterly.


    Jin Huanzhen was also green in the face and in dismal.


    "Yeah. Old Jin, among us, you''re the one with the oldest qualifications. You got to come up with an idea! We''re about to set off right away. If we don''t have the guarantee of this batch of medicinal pills, what will we use to fight with the Endless World martial artists?" said another commander.


    "Old Jin, do you think they detest that the essence crystals we gave are too few, and they wish to take this opportunity to viciously extort a sum from us?"


    Jin Huanzhen was vexed in his heart and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, stop making noise! Tomorrow morning, I''ll go and test Yang Xiu''s waters! I keep feeling that this matter isn''t that simple! Everyone, calm your horses down first. All go back and rest. Wait for my news tomorrow."


    . . . . . .


    The second day, early in the morning, Jin Huanzhen directly cut Yang Xiu off at his residence.


    "Elder Yang, we have worked together for so many years. You also know that this batch of medicinal pills concerns the life and death of our brothers. You can''t wash your hands off this matter!" Jin Huanzhen said with a grimace.


    "Aiya. Why is it you again, Old Brother? Didn''t I tell you, I''m really too busy recently. I really don''t have time to help you guys refine medicinal pills!" Yang Xiu similarly had a grimace.


    Jin Huanzhen grabbed hold of Yang Xiu''s sleeves and actually kneeled down directly!


    "Old Brother, what are you doing here?" Yang Xiu said with an astonished look.


    "Old Brother, I, Jin Huanzhen, am throwing out this old face today! If this batch of medicinal pill can''t be obtained and His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, investigates this, I, Old Jin, am still dead! Old Brother, you can''t stand aside and watch me die!" Jin Huanzhen was just short of sniveling in tears.


    Yang Xiu gave a sigh and said, "Old Brother, it''s really not that old brother is not helping you, but can''t help you!"


    Jin Huanzhen''s heart stirred. He still had a weeping face as he asked, "Old Brother, where did Younger Brother, I, offend you? You just say it out! But, you can''t wash your hands off this matter no matter what!"


    Yang Xiu''s eyebrows twitched, and he let out a sigh again and said, "Old Brother Jin, our friendship doesn''t need me to say anymore. You know it in your heart. But this time, Old Brother Jin, I really can''t help you! I''ll give you an explanation. But you must make sure not to sell me out!"


    Jin Huanzhen''s heart nearly jumped out. He hurriedly said, "Old Brother just say! If I sell Old Brother out, I''ll be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"


    Yang Xiu nodded and said slowly, "Actually, it''s this . . . meaning."


    Yang Xiu extended out a finger and pointed at the sky.


    Jin Huanzhen''s expression change. Although Yang Xiu did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear.


    Who else was there above Yang Xiu?


    It could only be Sovereign Star Abyss!


    If it was like this, then the problem was huge!


    Although Sovereign Star Abyss''s strength was not on the same level as His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, their statuses did not differ too much.


    "This . . . This . . . Old Brother, just what reason is it, to actually make the lord carry out such a decision?" Jin Huanzhen asked in shock.


    Yang Xiu sighed and said, "To be able to let the lord carry out such a decision, it''s naturally because somebody touched his reverse scale and offended his elderly self! Alright, I can only talk until here. I can''t say any more. Once that lord flares his temper, nobody can withstand it!"


    Jin Huanzhen seemed to have recalled something terrifying, his face revealing terror.


    . . . . . .


    "Ah? There was such a thing? That old man looks pretty amiable. To think that he''s so scary when he flies off the handle!" Ye Yuan was quite surprised.


    Third Senior Brother You Guang had an anticipating look as he said, "Isn''t that so! Back then, even Eldest Senior Brother hadn''t entered tutelage yet, not a single person in the entire capital was unaware of this matter. It was just that nobody dared to talk about it. Master was so awe-inspiring. He directly flew up to the royal palace and stood in midair, provokingly challenging His Majesty, the Wind Emperor. The third prince was forced by Lord Master to commit suicide! From start to finish, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, did not show his face. In truth, that was already a form of yielding!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Such a disgraceful matter, how could the Wind Emperor possibly make an appearance?


    The third prince coming out to commit suicide appeased Star Abyss''s fury and also preserved the royal family''s face. It was counted as a better ending.


    Back then, Shi Haoran had not entered his tutelage yet. Star Abyss took in a disciple. The result was that he clashed with the third prince and was killed by the third prince.


    Star Abyss was furious when he heard the news and directly charged up to the royal palace''s city walls and forced the third prince to commit suicide.


    Ever since then, the name of Star Abyss being protective of his people became utterly resounding in the capital.


    These two days, Ye Yuan had been guiding his few seniors constantly and became rather idle.


    Of course, this was also not something that could be accomplished in one stroke.


    Among the few seniors, the most unwilling to acquiesce was Third Senior Brother You Guang. He challenged Ye Yuan using exchange as the reason. The result was that he was utterly convinced with his loss.


    Ever since then, the seniors no longer doubted Star Abyss''s words.


    These two days, quite a few seniors came to Ye Yuan''s place to consult him on some problems. Ye Yuan naturally would not disappoint them either. The answers that he gave were all very exquisite.


    After the seniors went back to appreciate it in detail, they actually felt that it was even more exquisite than what Master Star Abyss said, and even more profound and simpler to understand!


    Although these few disciples that Star Abyss took on were different in personalities, they were all honest and frank people. Not only were they not jealous of Ye Yuan, but they also took him to be a good mentor and helpful friend instead.


    Speaking of which, they inherited the same ideology and behavior as that fellow Li Daohang.


    . . . . . .


    Different from happy thoughts on Ye Yuan''s side, Seventh Prince''s side descended into extreme chaos!


    These few days, storms raged in the capital. Everyone and everything were in a chaotic mess, investigating the matter of why Star Abyss would target the royal family.


    Other people did not know why, but he was all too clear!


    He initially thought that it was not something of a big deal. He did not kill Ye Yuan in the end as well; Shi Haoran would not do anything to him.


    But, he forgot that there was still an even more terrifying Sovereign Star Abyss above Shi Haoran!


    As a matter of fact, Zhao Chenggan had already forgotten the third prince''s matter. At that time, he wasn''t even born yet!


    Although he heard some extent of it later on, he did not take it to heart.


    All the way until the news of the Alchemist Association sanctioning the royal family spread over, only then Zhao Chenggan was shocked, recalling the incident of the third prince being forced to commit suicide.


    These two days, he was in a constant state of anxiety.


    After thinking it over and over again, Zhao Chenggan finally still decided to go and find His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, to admit his wrong!


    Within the deep and serene palace, it was void of people.


    Zhao Chenggan stood in the great hall but felt countless pairs of eyes staring at him.


    "This child, Zhao Chenggan, requests to meet Royal Father!" Zhao Chenggan forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and said.


    "What is it?" A voice came over serenely from the depths of the palace as if it sounded out from the underworld.


    "This child . . . child . . ." Zhao Chenggan kneeled onto the ground with a slam and said nervously, "This child deserves death! The matter with the Alchemist Association was caused by this child! I beg . . . beg Royal Father to mete out punishment!"


    There was no reply. Only Zhao Chenggan''s breathing sound was left in the entire great hall . . .

 401 Carrying a Rod and Asking for Punishmen

    Zhao Chenggan''s heart had never pounded so fiercely before!


    He felt like his own heart was about to explode!


    In the silence, every second felt like a year to Zhao Chenggan.


    "I already know." That cold voice sounded out again.


    Zhao Chenggan''s entire body shuddered. Cold sweat already drenched his entire body. "Please mete out punishment, Father! I didn''t think . . . didn''t think . . ."


    "This was a test that this Emperor gave you. For you to be able to arrive here, you''ve already passed the test!"


    When Zhao Chenggan heard these words, he felt like his divine soul was about to leave his body. No words were more pleasant to the ears than these few words.


    As the Fierce Gale World''s sole Boundless Realm powerhouse, even a fool knew the Wind Emperor''s terror!


    But Zhao Chenggan was even more deeply aware that the Wind Emperor''s terror was not just strength. This person himself was the most terrifying!


    "Thank you, Royal Father!" Zhao Chenggan said agitatedly.


    "Don''t be in a rush to give thanks. This matter was incited by you. You think of a way to resolve it. Even I don''t wish to provoke Old Man Star Abyss. You actually dare to yank his beard!"


    Although he sounded calm, Zhao Chenggan could hear the Wind Emperor''s fury.


    "Yes. This child knows his mistake! Ro-Royal Father, please point out the right path!" Zhao Chenggan perspired heavily.


    "You . . . Go think about it yourself. This is also a test for you. Alright, take your leave." When the voice faded, there wasn''t any sound in the great hall anymore.


    Coming out from the great hall, it was like Zhao Chenggan had experienced a life and death great battle. His entire person was like he was lugged out from the waters, utterly drenched.


    Returning to his residence, Zhao Chenggan secretly heaved a sigh in relief.


    Fortunately, he did not harbor any hopes of chance in his heart and admitted his fault to Royal Father. Or else, his outcome would surely be very tragic!


    The Wind Emperor had never had any consciousness of the saying ''a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs'' towards his own sons. He also never had a compassionate heart.


    He caused such a major problem this time, and it was even at the critical juncture of the great army moving out. If this matter could not be settled nicely, he would still die very horribly.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Chenggan could not help getting a headache.


    Just what should he do to make that old fellow, Star Abyss, rescind the sanctions on the royal family?


    These few days, Zhao Chenggan more or less understood Star Abyss''s personality through many inquiries.


    This old man was normally still very amiable. But once you touched his reverse scale, his terror was that even the Wind Emperor could not withstand it!


    Very clearly, he had already touched his reverse scale!


    Zhao Chenggan''s thought involuntarily turned to Ye Yuan. Could it be that he really had to apologize to that punk?


    But the moment he thought of Ye Yuan''s haughty look, Zhao Chenggan shrunk back again.


    He felt that even if he went to apologize, Ye Yuan definitely would not accept it either!


    Just how should this be gone about doing?


    In a blink, an entire night passed.


    Zhao Chenggan sat there woodenly for a night without moving a single muscle!


    The skies were about to brighten when Zhao Chenggan suddenly clenched his fists and stood up all at once, seemingly like he made some sort of resolution.


    . . . . . .


    It was already daytime. The streams of people in the Central Capital''s streets were bustling about. It was forever that busy.


    All of a sudden, everyone dropped whatever they were doing and turned to look towards a direction.


    Only to see a young man baring his upper body, carrying a bundle of thorns on his back, and walking forward step by step.


    This sort of thing that cut a wide swath was not frequently seen in the capital. It naturally drew the eyes of many people.


    "What''s this person doing? What''s he carrying a bundle of thorns on his back for? Is he sick? Those are Sawtooth Tree branches. The branches are covered in blades. Having it wrapped around the body, sinking into the flesh, is not much worse off than getting a thousand cuts!"


    "Shhh . . . Do you want to die? That is His Highness, the Seventh Prince! My God, who could make His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do such a thing to admit fault and ask for punishment? Doesn''t he wish to live anymore?"


    "Heh heh, who knows about this kind thing? The Seventh Prince is the person most likely to inherit the great position of the Wind Emperor. The person able to make him do such a thing is bound to be extremely formidable! Looking at the direction he''s walking in, it should be Qixia Mountain. Only that lord has the qualifications to make His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do this sort of thing like carrying a rod and asking for punishment."


    "You''re saying . . . Sovereign Star Abyss? What did His Highness, the Seventh Prince, do? To actually provoke and enrage that lord?"


    "Hehe, that isn''t what you and I can know."


    The people surrounding to watch were getting increasingly more. There was already an extremely large procession following behind Zhao Chenggan.


    But they all know the Seventh Prince''s prowess. They just followed far away and did not dare to get too close.


    While Zhao Chenggan himself looked steadily ahead, walking in the direction of Qixia Mountain step by step.


    By the time he walked to the foot of the mountain, there was already a sea of people behind him; one would be unable to see the end with a glance.


    "Ji Qing, I, Seventh Prince Zhao Chenggan, came bearing a rod today to ask you for punishment!"


    Zhao Chenggan enunciated each word, and he actually directly kneeled down!


    His voice, Zhao Chenggan revolved essence energy fully. The entire Qixia Mountain should be able to hear it.


    Behind him, the crowd let out a huge hubbub.


    The exalted Seventh Prince, His Highness, actually kneeled down!


    "Who is Ji Qing? I''ve never heard that there was such a character in our Central Capital?!"


    "I haven''t heard of him before as well. Doesn''t Sovereign Star Abyss only have seven disciples? There doesn''t seem to be Ji Qing this character, right?"


    "Ignorant and ill-informed. A few days ago, the Xiao Family and Tong Family organized the Grand Pill Assembly. Originally, the Xiao Family''s defeat was already set. It was precisely this Ji Qing who turned the raging tides, defeating the Tong Family''s number one genius, Tong Wenchang, saving the Xiao Family! Furthermore, this Ji Qing did not win by a narrow margin, but he crushed Tong Wenchang in an overwhelming manner until he could not even lift his head! I heard that he is already locked up by the Tong Family and completely became an invalid."


    "Ah? There was such a thing? I was just saying that recently, the Tong Family''s shops increased anew again. Such a major incident actually happened! Like this, this Ji Qing is truly a character! Could it be . . ."


    "That''s right. He''s already taken in by Sovereign Star Abyss under his tutelage, becoming his eighth disciple!"


    "But . . . why is His Highness, the Seventh Prince, doing such a thing to apologize to this Ji Qing?"


    "That I don''t know! Tsk tsk, the dignified Wind Emperor successor actually suffered such an unprecedented shame. The days to come in the capital will probably be very fun."


    . . . . . .


    On top of Qixia Mountain, Shi Haoran looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "Little Junior Brother, this move from Master is really ruthless. It actually forced the arrogant Seventh Prince to this state!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "He has nobody but himself to blame for it."


    Shi Haoran nodded, firmly agreeing.


    Ye Yuan had already explained the entire course of the incident to everyone. Making a move to kill somebody due to a single word of disagreement, only a person like the Seventh Prince could do it.


    Except, if he killed some people, then he killed them. But there were some people who were not those he could afford to offend.


    "Hur hur, this punk deserves it! But when are you planning on going down, Little Junior Brother?" asked the plump Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan also laughed and said, "What''s the hurry? Let him kneel for a while first. Let''s discuss alchemy skills in depth first."

 402 Losing One’s Wife as Well as One’s Soldiers

    Time slowly trickled past. Zhao Chenggan''s face became progressively darker.


    He had already kneeled for a full six hours!


    Qixia Mountain''s gates were still tightly shut. There wasn''t even a person who came out to say hello!


    He was the dignified seventh prince! Wasn''t Qixia Mountain this group of people taking him too lightly?


    Zhao Chenggan really want to stomp off right now and then gather the Swift Wind Guards to come and slaughter all of these guys!


    But when he thought of the Wind Emperor''s faint voice, a gust of cool air welled up from the bottom of his heart, instantly extinguishing all of the flames.


    Bearing the rod to come and ask for punishment was something that he made the painful decision to do after he thought for one night.


    Before coming, he already planned out well. No matter how much humiliation he suffered today, he had to push through it!


    Yet, when it really came down to it, he had no choice but to admit how great the difficulty was.


    "His Highness, the Seventh Prince, has already kneeled here for many hours. The skies are almost turning dark soon. I heard that the lord''s personality is very nice. What on earth did he do to make that lord on Qixia Mountain become so enraged?"


    "Hehe, ignorant and ill-informed much? That lord''s personality is pretty good, but once he truly becomes furious, even His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, has to make a concession!"


    "Oh? Is there still some story in between this?"


    That person briefly summarized the third prince''s incident and said, "My guess is that Seventh Prince likely had a conflict with that person called Ji Qing and nearly killed him!"


    "There was actually such a thing?! If that''s the case, then it all makes sense! Seventh Prince is famously tyrannical in the capital and frequently kills people because of some small issue. But this time, he kicked a metal plate!"


    "You can say that again!"


    . . . . . .


    There had never been a lack of meddlesome people in this world. No matter how long Zhao Chenggan kneeled there, they would crowd around to watch.


    After several hours passed, everyone pretty much guessed the entire sequence of events.


    Zhao Chenggan tried his best not to listen to these discussions. But the sounds of these comments still barged inside his ears ceaselessly, making it even more tormenting for him.


    If not because today''s matter was of utmost importance, he would definitely explode and kill people!


    Right at this time, a 16 to 17-year-old azure shirt youth appeared in everyone''s sight. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Zhao Chenggan, stretched his waist, and gave a yawn as he asked with a curious look, "Mm? Isn''t this His Highness, the Seventh Prince? What are you doing here?"


    Zhao Chenggan forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart and said solemnly, " This Zhao Chenggan specially came here to admit his fault and ask for punishment! Young Master Ji, please inflict punishment!"


    As he said, Zhao Chenggan pulled out a thorn from his back and delivered it before Ye Yuan with both hands.


    Ye Yuan received the thorn rather playfully and asked with a smile, "What fault does Your Highness have? Ji Qing doesn''t quite get it. That day, didn''t Your Highness say that those who oppose you are all already dead? I wonder how Your Highness can seek the forgiveness of a dead person?"


    "That day, it was this Little Prince who was momentarily muddled and offended Young Master Ji. So today, I specially came here to apologize and seek punishment!" Zhao Chenggan was long prepared for this and answered.


    "Oh, like this huh. Your Highness is unsurpassedly overbearing. I wonder if I''ll die in the streets tomorrow after I forgive you today?" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.


    Zhao Chenggan was secretly alarmed. He really had this thought!


    He was prepared to find a chance to finish Ye Yuan off after this matter blows over. Of course, he would not make a move himself.


    There were too many ways to kill people. Personally making a move to kill people was naturally the dumbest method; getting stench all over yourself for nothing.


    Who would have thought that his idea was seen through by Ye Yuan at a glance!


    "What is Young Master Ji talking about? This Little Prince really sees through his error. That''s why I''m apologizing today with such a serious attitude about this matter. I was truly too reckless on that day. It will never happen again in the future!" Zhao Chenggan hurriedly said.


    "Oh? Is that so? I''ve just arrived here and don''t really have any enemies in the capital yet. So, if anything happens to me in the future, this liability will be counted on Your Highness''s head!"


    Zhao Chenggan was full of hatred in his heart!


    Who said that you did not have enemies? You just offended the entire Tong Family a couple of days back, alright?


    These words from Ye Yuan was clearly borrowing his influence to suppress the Tong Family. Furthermore, whoever Ye Yuan provoked in the capital later on, he even had to make an appearance to settle it.


    What the hell was this?!


    But at this critical juncture, Zhao Chenggan had to swallow it too even if his teeth were shattered!


    "That''s of course! As long as anything happens of Young Master Ji in the capital, it can all be counted on my head! At that time, I''ll apologize for my crime with death!" Zhao Chenggan clenched his teeth and said.


    Such a major incident, it was naturally impossible for those surrounding and watching to be ordinary martial artists. There were bound to be many people from large families and large influences among them.


    Him making such a promise in front of so many people was virtually pinning a death-exemption medallion on Ye Yuan!


    No matter how large these factions were, how many dared to oppose the Wind Emperor?


    Even if the seventh prince could not represent the Wind Emperor, and even if the seventh prince lost such a tremendous amount of face today, he was still the strongest among the princes, and also the person with the greatest likelihood of inheriting the position of Wind Emperor!


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said in a clear voice, "There are so many people here today. Everybody be a witness. This small life of mine is all in the hands of His Highness, the Seventh Prince! If one day, any mishap happens to me, Ji Qing, it cannot be free of relation with His Highness, the Seventh Prince!"


    Obviously, no one dared to really answer. But Ye Yuan did not need their response.


    His objective was already accomplished when Zhao Chenggan said these words.


    "Haha, looks like Your Highness is indeed 100% sincere. I, Ji Qing, naturally can''t fail to appreciate kindness as well. Please return, Your Highness; this matter will end here," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Zhao Chenggan said hesitatingly, "Young Master Ji, then . . . the medicinal pill matter."


    "Medicinal pill? What medicinal pill?" Ye Yuan asked with a puzzled look.


    Zhao Chenggan was fuming inwardly. He did not believe that Ye Yuan was unaware of the Alchemist Association''s sanctions on the royal family. He was feigning ignorance right now!


    But, in front of so many people, he could not say it too obviously either. He was stifled until internal injuries were about to erupt.


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan would invite him in to talk. Who knew that Ye Yuan made him return right away?


    "Haha, n-nothing," Zhao Chenggan said embarrassedly.


    "Oh, nothing huh? Then I''ll head back first, Your Highness. Seniors are still waiting for me to learn alchemy," Ye Yuan said with a beam as if he and Zhao Chenggan were friends.


    "Ah? H-Haha, go ahead, go ahead."


    Zhao Chenggan did not know if this was considered completing the mission either; he also did not know what Ye Yuan planned on doing. His heart was still palpitating with uneasiness.


    If Star Abyss did not withdraw the sanctions, it would still be hard for him to escape death!


    . . . . . .


    After returning to the mountain, the group of seniors gave a round of fierce praises to Ye Yuan.


    "Hur hur, Little Junior Brother isn''t old, but you''re extremely adept in handling things! I think after that Zhao Chenggan goes back, he''ll also have no appetite for food and drinks these two days!" Shi Haoran said with a big laugh.


    "Yeah. That Zhao Chenggan is used to being rampant and domineering. Today, he lost face all the way home and even had to gift Little Junior Brother a death-exemption medallion! It''s truly losing one''s wife as well as one''s soldiers!" You Guang said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not at all. This matter is still ultimately Master''s sanctions that''s impressive!"

 403 Divine Art That Made People Depressed

    "Hehe, it''s true that Master''s sanctions are formidable, but the way Little Junior Brother dealt with things magnified the battle results to the extreme! Not only did it eliminate the hidden danger of the Tong Family, it even supplemented a death-exemption medallion for yourself! Truly impressive!" Second Senior Brother Tang Zhi said with a laugh.


    "Haha, Second Senior Brother is too kind. I was also just claiming some interest. I didn''t think that this Seventh Prince could actually endure such humiliation for an important goal and doing such a thing like bearing thorns to ask for punishment," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "En. It was indeed contrary to all expectations! That child knows when to yield and when not to, and his martial strength is also extremely formidable. Indeed not what the other princes can compare to. Absolutely the bearing of a fierce and ambitious person. Barring no accidents, the next Wind Emperor is very likely to be him! Hence, you should still be more careful in the future, Little Junior Brother, in case this boy uses some underhanded tricks," Shi Haoran warned him.


    The incident this time also let everyone have a brand new understanding of Zhao Chenggan.


    The high and mighty Wind Emperor successor actually did this sort of self-belittling thing, making entire capital drop their glasses.


    But thinking about it carefully, this method of doing things was the best way to handle things at present.


    Even if Ye Yuan was way less understanding of what was good or bad for him, it was also not possible to let this sanction carry on.


    Otherwise, the Qixia Mountain lineage would also become unreasonable even with justification.


    With Zhao Chenggan''s status, doing everything to this step was already his limits. If Ye Yuan still refused to budge, that was being unappreciative.


    If the Royal Family and the Alchemist Association, these two giants, really ruptured completely, neither side could bear the consequences.


    At that time, the one who would be put in an awkward situation would not be the Wind Emperor but Star Abyss himself.


    It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan''s way of handling things was grasped perfectly. It could gain the greatest benefits and also reflect a magnanimous heart.


    As for Zhao Chenggan''s apology, Ye Yuan simply paid no attention to it at all.


    How could he possibly be deceived by this sort of superficial act? The more sincere Zhao Chenggan''s apology was, the more intense his hatred towards him.


    This sort of high and lofty ambitious fierce person would never feel that they were wrong.


    "Rest assured, Eldest Senior Brother. I have a score in my heart. Oh, right, Seniors, from today onwards, I''m going to enter seclusion for a month and won''t be able to expound on the Alchemy Path with Seniors anymore," Ye Yuan said.


    "En? Entering a retreat so soon?"


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to enter seclusion, the few people felt a great sense of loss in their hearts.


    These few days, they truly reaped no little benefits by exchanging knowledge together with Ye Yuan. There were even more gains compared to listening to Star Abyss preaching the Dao.


    Carrying on at this speed, them having some breakthrough in alchemy were inevitable. But Ye Yuan actually entered seclusion at this time. They were naturally quite reluctant to let go.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Yes. I sense that I''m about to break through, so I''ve decided to enter a retreat to pour all my efforts into breaking through realms!"


    "Like that eh? Alright then," Shi Haoran said.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan returned to his own residence. A streak of white silhouette suddenly assaulted towards him.


    The white silhouette''s speed was exceedingly quickly. Ye Yuan was actually unable to evade with his movement technique!


    "Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!"


    In a hurry, Ye Yuan execute a Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon, colliding together with the white silhouette!


    Bang!


    The white silhouette directly flew out, while Ye Yuan also fell back two steps from the enormous collision force.


    But Ye Yuan was not astonished; he became overjoyed instead and said, "White Light! You actually broke through!"


    "Y-Yes . . . Big Brother . . ."


    A slightly choppy and tender voice transmitted into Ye Yuan''s mind. It was universal beast language!


    "En? Have you unlocked your inherited memories?" Ye Yuan was astonished again.


    "Yes." This time, White Light was clearly way smoother when talking.


    "Haha! You brat, your breakthrough speed is too rapid! It''s almost catching up to this young master!" Seeing White Light open his mouth to speak, Ye Yuan was also very glad.


    White Light smiled and said, "Big Brother, you''re the real freak. Your breakthrough speed is too fast, completely without bottlenecks!"


    "En? Just a few year old little kid, you''re actually calling me big brother?" Ye Yuan said huffily.


    "If I don''t call you big brother, what do I call you then? I don''t want to call you master. Proud divine beasts will never become a human''s lackey!" White Light raised his tiger head with a prideful look.


    Ye Yuan was also tickled by his appearance and said with a smile, "I didn''t ask you to call me master. But I can be your uncle with my age, right? Come, call uncle and let me hear!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, White Light nearly stumbled to the ground. He said sulkily, "Knock it off! Don''t you humans all address each other using cultivation realms? Now that I broke through to Tier 3 as well, what''s wrong with calling you big brother?"


    "Uh, this really does seem to be the case. Fine. Big brother then." Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he enquired, "Oh, right, do you know your origins now that you unlocked your inherited memories?"


    Ye Yuan was very curious about White Light''s origin. He was clearly a descendant of the Flowing Light White Tiger, yet he had treasure seeking abilities. It was too weird.


    But White Light shook his head and said, "Don''t know. I only unlocked a very small portion of inherited memories. The rest are still sealed and completely can''t be opened up yet."


    Ye Yuan said disappointedly, "Like this huh, that''s too bad. If we know your origin, we can maybe suit our methods to your situation. Who knows, you might be able to break through to Divine Beast Realm!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, White Light was also quite disappointed.


    Ye Yuan suddenly asked again, "Then, what kind of inherited memories have you awakened? Let''s have a look."


    To divine beasts, inherited memories were something extremely precious. Under normal circumstances, they would never tell it to humans.


    But ever since the death of his mother, White Light treated Ye Yuan as his only kin. Or else, he would also not have fought Zhao Chenggan to the death under the situation where he was aware he could not contend with him to protect Ye Yuan.


    "Uh . . . All some random and messy stuff. Such as this kind of thing like the universal beast language. To say the most useful one, it will be a cultivation method that was awakened. But, it''s only to the third level too," White Light said.


    "En? What kind of cultivation method?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "White Tiger Darklight Divine Art!" White Light said.


    "It''s actually a divine art!" Ye Yuan said in astonishment.


    Although Ye Yuan also cultivated in a divine art, this did not mean that divine arts were common wares.


    The birth of each divine art would stir up a bloody struggle in the Divine Realm.


    But a little white tiger that Ye Yuan found in the Lower Realms actually had a divine art in his inherited memories! This was too inconceivable!


    Although Ye Yuan had not heard of this set of divine art, its power was beyond all doubt!


    "Yeah! I didn''t know it myself, but actually I''ve already started cultivating this divine art long ago. It''s actually like a part of my body," White Light said.


    Ye Yuan suddenly remembered something and could not help being greatly astonished as he said, "Could it be that . . . when you swallowed those medicinal pills, your body automatically revolved the White Tiger Darklight Divine Art?"


    White Light nodded and said, "Yes."


    Ye Yuan''s expression became peculiar. "Then the third level that you awakened, it''s not that . . . you can also raise your realm by swallowing medicinal pills, right?"


    White Light had an innocent face as he said with a frank nod, "Big Brother is indeed incredible! Guessing it in one try!"


    "I guess . . . your head ah!" Ye Yuan forcefully stifled back a swear word.

 404 Pledging Allegiance to the Death

    Eating medicinal pills and sleeping, raising realm unconsciously.


    This was the cultivation process that so many martial artists dreamt about! But even if Ye Yuan''s cultivation did not have bottlenecks, it was also not possible to reach such a state!


    Cultivation was like sailing against the current, either advance or regress.


    On the matter of cultivation, no martial artists dared to slack off.


    But White Light''s cultivation method, any martial artist who saw it would have an impulse to beat him up. Ye Yuan was no exemption either.


    Seeing that dim gaze from Ye Yuan, all the fur on White Light''s body stood up.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s figure flashed, and he vanished.


    White Light immediately felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late. Ye Yuan caught hold of him.


    "What White Tiger Darklight Divine Art?! What can even cultivate when sleeping?! Maddening your big brother to death! How can there be such a perverse divine art in this world?"


    Ye Yuan rubbed White Light''s tiger head furiously, rubbing until he was dizzy.


    By the time Ye Yuan stopped, all White Light could see were stars.


    "Huff, huff . . ." Ye Yuan was also panting, dog tired.


    Messing around was messing around. Not that Ye Yuan was jealous of this cultivation method, it was just that he felt somewhat unfair.


    The cultivation method that White Light awakened should be a divine art that was tailor-made for the same kind of divine beast. Humans were unable to cultivate it. Even if Ye Yuan asked for it, it was useless too.


    "Doesn''t that mean that I''ll have to provide medicinal pills for you non-stop in the future to let you cultivate?" Ye Yuan looked at White Light from the corner of his eye.


    Hearing these words from Ye Yuan, White Light gave a flattering low roar and rubbed his face against Ye Yuan''s cheek, saying, "Haha! I know that Big Brother is the best!"


    "Best my *ss! Don''t kiss my *ss! Who did I provoke? To become a pill refining coolie?" Ye Yuan had a gloomy look.


    "Hehe, how can you say coolie? Big Brother''s alchemy skills are unparalleled in this world! Find happiness in it . . . Furthermore, I, White Light, still have some capabilities. I''ll definitely find more treasures for Big Brother!" White Light said fawningly.


    Ye Yuan said huffily, "I say, how did you know to follow me back then? Could it be that you already know that I knew alchemy back then?"


    "Uh . . . I don''t know either. I just felt especially cordial when I saw Big Brother, so I followed you in a daze," White Light said in confusion.


    "Alright! I''m scared of you! I''m going to begin closed-seclusion to cultivate. This time, I''m going to break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm in one stroke!" Ye Yuan said.


    White Light trembled and nearly slipped off from Ye Yuan''s shoulder.


    "S-Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm?! Big Brother, are you mistaken? You''re only at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm!" White Light was taken aback by Ye Yuan.


    "Not mistaken. It''s Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm! This time, Zhao Chenggan that punk almost killed us, making me very peeved! Each one of you all bullying that my realm is low, right? I''ll break through for them to see!" Ye Yuan said annoyedly.


    All along, Ye Yuan''s adversaries were all way stronger than him. This made it very disadvantageous for him every time he fought.


    Even if his essence energy was much thicker than other people, the disparity in realms could not be made up for.


    Although Ye Yuan defeated his opponents in the end, it had the feeling of walking on a tightrope practically every time.


    A few days back, if not for Shi Haoran making a move, he would already have been killed by Zhao Chenggan.


    While Zhao Chenggan''s strength was decent, it was still too far away compared to Ye Yuan. The reason why he was formidable was because of his realm!


    Zhao Chenggan comprehended true intent; for Ye Yuan to want to cross a major realm to win him, it was too difficult!


    Hence, Ye Yuan resolved his heart this time to enter closed-seclusion for a month and planned on breaking through five realms in succession!


    This was an impossible mission to others, but to Ye Yuan, it was merely a question of time.


    . . . . . .


    Day two, the rear of the mountains where Ye Yuan was in seclusion.


    Shi Haoran passed a storage ring to Ye Yuan and said, "These are the Tier 3 medicinal herbs that Little Junior Brother you requested. It''s all prepared properly."


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Eldest Senior Brother!"


    "What''s there to thank? Merely just some Tier 3 medicinal herbs, not a big deal. But you made me prepare so many portions for you; you''re not planning on refining pills alone, right? Could it be that this one month, you''re planning on refining a batch of Tier 3 medicinal pills?" Shi Haoran asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Wanting so many medicinal herbs is naturally to use to refine medicinal pills. But my closed-seclusion this time is in order to break through realms."


    Shi Haoran asked very curiously, "Even if Little Junior Brother, you, refine pills without sleep or rest, to refine so many medicinal herbs into medicinal pills, it would probably take more than a month. How will you have time to break through realms?"


    "Hur hur, Little Brother naturally has a plan," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile. Clearly, he was unwilling to say anymore.


    Shi Haoran suddenly recalled Little Junior Brother''s monstrousness and thought to himself, his pill refining speed should be faster than ordinary people, right?


    Or he did not even plan on refining finish these medicinal herbs, but to keep them for refining next time?


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not wish to speak, it was naturally inconvenient for Shi Haoran to ask anymore and he took his leave.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan casually waved a hand. The Square Cauldron and Yuan Fei appeared before his eyes at the same time.


    When Yuan Fei saw Ye Yuan, he bowed and greeted, "Young Master!"


    He had already followed Ye Yuan for close to a year. From the initial half-belief and half-skeptical, to now, it was already prostrating on all fours.


    This one year, he practically ate Demon Crystal Pills like candy. He was already Peak Tier 3 now and only a step away from Tier 4.


    A year ago, he did not even dare to think about it!


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "I plan to refine a batch of medicinal pills this closed-seclusion to breakthrough realms. You''re already not far away from Tier 4 at present. Back then, you promised to follow me for ten years, and I''ll refine the Demon Manor Pill for you. This promise can be fulfilled now."


    Yuan Fei''s entire body trembled, and his agitation could not be any greater. "I-Is what Young Master said true?"


    "When have I teased you before? The Demon Manor Pill isn''t some impressive medicinal pill to me. I can already refine it now. It was just that I always didn''t have the time. Uh . . . after refining finish the Demon Manor Pill, our debt is also considered settled. You can choose to leave me and return to the Endless Forest. Of course, the prerequisite is that I can return to the Endless World . . ."


    Evidently, Ye Yuan did not have huge confidence in returning.


    With the passing of time, the war between the two worlds would get closer and closer. There were bound to be even more powerful people guarding the realm passageway. Wanting to smoke his way through it like last time was already not very likely.


    Yet, when Yuan Fei heard these words, he shuddered and hastily asked, "Does Young Master not want Yuan Fei anymore?!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don''t overthink things. This one year, you have been following me. You should know my temperament as well. As long as I''ve acknowledged that person as one of my own, I absolutely won''t hold anything back from him. You rendered much help to me this one year. I''ve treated you as a friend in my heart. How can I not want you? It''s just that I still have to ask about your choice out of respect to you."


    Yuan Fei did not even think and directly said, "If not for following Young Master, Yuan Fei would still be in the Endless Forest right now living muddled and simple-minded days. How could I have the chance to advance to Tier 4? Following Young Master, the one who benefitted isn''t just Yuan Fei alone but the entire Long-arm Stone Ape Clan! Yuan Fei and clansmen are willing to pledge allegiance to Young Master to the death and to never forsake you!"

 405 Power of the Square Cauldron!

    After following Ye Yuan, the Long-Arm Stone Ape Clan could no longer be compared to the past.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan saw Yuan Fei, only he alone was a Tier 3 demonic beast. And now, there were already twenty to thirty Tier 3 Long-Arm Stone Apes.


    One could say that the collective strength of the Long-Arm Stone Ape clan went up a level!


    Such a huge transformation was something that Yuan Fei could never have imagined before following Ye Yuan.


    Now, asking Yuan Fei to leave Ye Yuan, he would not even know how to survive.


    "Haha, you willing to stay on, of course I welcome it!" Ye Yuan said with a smile. Yuan Fei''s answer did not exceed his expectations.


    In truth, he already predicted this outcome when he solicited Yuan Fei back then.


    "Old Yuan, want to keep on eating the food, right? Haha! Following Big Brother, forget about Tier 4, even taking form isn''t something hard!" White Light suddenly scoffed.


    Yuan Fei''s old face turned red first, then immediately turned pale with great shock as he said, "White Light, you . . . you . . . are actually Tier 3 already!"


    "How is it? Incredible, right? If you don''t work hard, I''m going to surpass you very soon!" White Light still had a child''s disposition as he said with a proud look.


    "Stop talking nonsense! The one who wants to keep on eating the food is yourself, right? Don''t bully Yuan Fei for being honest!" Ye Yuan taunted with a smile.


    "Cough, cough . . . Big Brother, can''t you just let me be happy for a while? Alright, alright, I know that we both owe it all to you, okay?" White Light said helplessly.


    "Good that you know! Alright. This matter brooks no delay. I''m going to start refining pills. You guys help to guard me by the side," Ye Yuan said.


    The Demon Manor Pill was a Tier 3 demonic pill. It was not much of a challenge to Ye Yuan, and he finished refining it very soon.


    The instant that Yuan Fei took the Demon Manor Pill, he was so agitated that he could not speak; he was stammering for some time, stifling until Yuan Fei''s face was black with a touch of red, getting ridiculed by White Light.


    "Hahaha! Old Yuan, one Demon Manor Pill can make you agitated until like this! Such a good for nothing!" White Light burst into laughter.


    Being interrupted by White Light like this, Yuan Fei cooled down a little instead. "You this brat''s bloodline is invincible. How can you know the significance of the Demon Manor Pill to me? Making irresponsible and sarcastic remarks when you don''t understand my plight!"


    White Light laughed and said, "Following Big Brother, this is just the beginning! Don''t talk about a puny little Demon Manor Pill. So what if it''s a Shapeshifting Pill? You''re like this now; wait until Big Brother refines a Shapeshifting Pill for you. Wouldn''t you be so agitated that you would breathe your last? Haha, then that would be fun."


    Hearing White Light''s words, Yuan Fei could not help shuddering.


    Shapeshifting Pill!


    He had truly never thought that he would one day successfully shapeshift and advance to a Tier 5 demonic beast?


    Tier 5 demonic beasts, which was also a sovereign level demonic beast. It was another beginning to demonic beasts.


    But now, he was about to step into the ranks of Tier 4 demonic beasts. Would Tier 5 . . . still be far away?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What White Light said is right. It''s just a Demon Manor Pill. You don''t have to be so agitated, Yuan Fei. Do you still remember what I said to you before? Tier 5 Demon Sovereign, Tier 6 Demon Ancestor, are all nothing difficult."


    Yuan Fei''s emotions finally calmed down a little. He clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "Yuan Fei understands! Encountering Young Master is Yuan Fei''s greatest fortune in this lifetime!"


    Yuan Fei naturally would not forget the words that Ye Yuan said back then. At that time, Ye Yuan was still just an Essence Qi Realm youth. Opening his mouth to say Tier 5, Tier 6, Yuan Fei still more or less doubted it.


    But, a year''s time had passed. That Essence Qi Realm youth already grew into a Crystal Formation Realm expert!


    Yuan Fei only knew what a fortunate thing it was to encounter Ye Yuan back then in retrospect!


    "Haha. What are we still talking about these between us for? You make your preparations. Make use of this one month to break through to Tier 4," Ye Yuan said with a big laugh.


    Yuan Fei acknowledged and went to another place to enter seclusion.


    When Yuan Fei left, Ye Yuan put out all the medicinal herbs in the storage ring. The originally sparse and empty room immediately became full.


    "Big Brother, there are so many medicinal herbs. How do you plan on refining?" White Light asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it''s refining all of them together!"


    As he said, all the essence energy in his body seethed, firing one seal after another into the Square Cauldron!


    The Square Cauldron initially looked like a metallic product. But at this time, it actually lit up gradually under Ye Yuan''s seals!


    That appearance actually looked like a divine object, dumbfounding White Light who was watching.


    After over a dozen breaths, Ye Yuan was also exhausted until he panted heavily, while the Square Cauldron''s luster gradually stabilized too.


    "Huff . . . With my present strength, activating an array formation inside a profound artifact is also so taxing!" said Ye Yuan powerly, while swallowing a Condensed Fragrance Pill.


    "Wow! This huge cauldron looks so impressive! Big Brother, what you doing here?" White Light asked doubtfully.


    Although this treasure was found by him, he was utterly clueless about the functions of this treasure and was filled with curiosity.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You look properly!"


    Only to see his essence energy seethe once again. A large pile of medicinal herbs actually flew inside the Square Cauldron just like that!


    The next instant, the Square Cauldron gave off an immense brilliance, releasing a dazzling radiance from the mouth of the cauldron. It was also uncertain what was happening inside the cauldron.


    After 15 minutes, the radiance dissipated. The Square Cauldron returned to normal again.


    White Light was very nosy and scurried to the mouth of the cauldron right away, a pair of tiger eyes becoming wide saucers.


    "This . . . This . . . Is this all medicinal embryos? My God, how did you do it?" White Light exclaimed in shock.


    "Haha, it wasn''t done by me. It was this profound artifact''s own array formation. As long as one activates the array formation, it can automatically extract and refine medicinal embryos!" Ye Yuan explained.


    "So amazing? Hehe, indeed, the treasures that I find are extraordinary!" White Light flattered himself again.


    "But so many medicinal embryos, you aren''t planning on refining them all at once as well, right?" White Light suddenly asked again.


    "Of course. How troublesome is it to refine one by one?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Tsk tsk, I''m really curious about Big Brother''s origins. Your alchemy skills completely roll over the Lower Realm alchemists! That Shi Haoran''s strength already seems to be very strong, but it isn''t even enough to refine so many medicinal pills in a month''s time. You''re only at the Alchemy Grandmaster Realm and can actually refine so many Tier 3 medicinal pills in minutes. Simply heaven-defying!" White Light sighed with admiration.


    "Haha, of course I have some background. When the time comes, I''ll naturally tell you. As for now, don''t inquire too much," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Not that Ye Yuan did not trust White Light, but this road to revenge of his was too arduous. A single misstep and it would be the outcome of eternal damnation.


    He did not even have any guarantee whether or not he could succeed in the end, so he did not wish to drag the innocent White Light in.


    "Fine then, fine then. I won''t inquire!" White Light curled his mouth and said.


    After Ye Yuan regulated his breathing for a while and his essence energy recovered to the peak condition, he started refining.


    The medicinal pill that he was refining this time was called Jade Spirit Pill. It was naturally a medicinal pill used for raising essence energy.


    The effects of this medicinal pill compared to the ones used by ordinary Lower Realm martial artists was way higher.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame spat out lightly, instantly igniting the Square Cauldron!


    But sadly, with Ye Yuan''s current strength, he simply had no way of unleashing the full functions of the Square Cauldron. Otherwise, he completely did not need to waste strength to refine this batch of medicinal pills.


    He was sill using the Tri-Origins Samsara Art!


    Following one seal after another being struck into the Square Cauldron, the body of the cauldron radiated splendor once again!

 406 Yuan Fei Breaks Through!

    "Condense for me!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. The Square Cauldron''s radiance gradually dimmed, recovering back to a metal lump.


    After finishing the refinement, Ye Yuan plopped onto the ground.


    Such a refinement was a tremendous test to both soul force and essence energy. There was basically nobody who could accomplish it in the Lower Realms!


    Only an existence like Ye Yuan whose control of soul force and essence energy was brilliant to the pinnacle could complete a refinement like this.


    "Big Brother, i-it''s done like this?" White Light asked in surprise.


    "Still . . . Still not done? Do you . . . want to tire me to death?" Ye Yuan said crossly.


    "Cough, cough, I didn''t mean that. But . . . this is only half a day''s time!" White Light felt like the scene before his eyes was not quite real.


    After breaking through to Tier 3, White Light awakened inherited memories and had a much greater understanding of this world.


    In his inherited memories was knowledge on the aspects of alchemy.


    Refining so many medicinal pills was absolutely a colossal project. But Ye Yuan completed it in half a day''s time!


    After resting for a bit, Ye Yuan finally caught his breath and said, "My present strength is still too weak. If I have Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm strength, refining these toys can be done in two hours."


    White Light gave a low roar and said scornfully, "You''re indeed a freak!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Go help me take a look. How''s the quality of the medicinal pills? My realm breakthrough this time is all on these toys."


    White Light scurried over to take a look. Inside the Square Cauldron was full of medicinal pills, probably hundreds!


    He observed those medicinal pills closely and was filled with astoundment in his heart.


    "How is it?" Ye Yuan asked impatiently.


    "You''re indeed a freak. Refining pills like this, and it still resulted to such high quality! The vast majority inside is all high-grade medicinal pills. There is still quite a fair portion which is superior-grade. Only a very tiny portion is middle-grade!"


    "Hah! Not even one transcendent-grade! Fail!" Ye Yuan said with a sigh.


    "Transcendent-grade . . . These are Tier 3 medicinal pills!" White Light was thoroughly defeated.


    Actually, the refinement this time, Ye Yuan''s greatest drawback was still essence energy.


    A refinement like this was a tremendous test of the alchemist''s essence energy. Without late-stage Crystal Formation Realm essence energy, it was very hard to sustain.


    Only Ye Yuan''s way of splitting one portion of essence energy into two halves to use could support his refinement to succeed. If there were even a trace of waste, it would also not be possible to have the present results.


    "Alright. I''ll recover my strength first. You play by yourself. Wait until I break through to late-stage Crystal Formation Realm, then I''ll help you refine Demon Crystal Pills," Ye Yuan said feebly.


    White Light was overjoyed upon hearing it and said, "Haha! It''s indeed Big Brother who dotes on me! Little Brother, I, will definitely break through to Tier 4 quickly. At that time, I''ll protect Big Brother!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "It will be pretty good if you don''t drag me down!"


    While he said that verbally, Ye Yuan knew that White Light''s strength could not be underestimated.


    Previously, when facing off against Zhao Chenggan, White Light actually wounded the Sea Transformation Realm Zhao Chenggan with Tier 2 strength. His might could be seen at a glance.


    If White Light had Tier 4 strength, dealing with Zhao Chenggan should be a cinch!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that White Light would explode with extraordinary strength under certain special conditions. His speed would be unbelievably quick!


    Regarding that final strike against Zhao Chenggan, even he did not see clearly what happened!


    Also, when White Light''s mother was on her deathbed, White Light dealing with the Seven Evils Flowing Cloud Python was like so too.


    Looking at this, White Light''s strength indeed could not be underestimated.


    . . . . . .


    The second day. Ye Yuan already recovered to his optimal condition and prepared to break through!


    He casually grabbed a bunch of Jade Spirit Pills and directly stuffed them into his mouth!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan started to revolve the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. Their medicinal properties were rapidly refined, flowing into the dantian!


    The small crystal in Ye Yuan''s dantian continuously expanded!


    After a day, Ye Yuan directly broke through to the Third Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    Another three days passed, Ye Yuan''s momentum met no resistance the entire way, directly smashing the barrier between early-stage Crystal Formation Realm and middle-stage Crystal Formation Realm, breaking through to Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    . . . . . .


    Time flowed like water. In a twinkle, a month had passed.


    On this day, the essence energy inside another secret room surged and was abnormally violent!


    "Haha, Yuan Fei has divine beast bloodline when all is said and done. His talent is actually not poor. It''s just that the Lower Realm''s resources and environment made it very hard for him to mature," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Tch. Isn''t it just breaking through to a Tier 4? What''s the big deal? As long as I have Big Brother providing Demon Crystal Pills, I can surely break through to Tier 4 within half a year!" White Light said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This fellow said it as if he owed him.


    "I say, don''t you feel ashamed? Yuan Fei''s improvement speed is indeed inferior to yours, but he didn''t spend much time to break through from middle-stage Tier 3 to peak Tier 3 either! If you didn''t have the support of medicinal pills, you might not even be faster than him!" Ye Yuan said huffily.


    "Cough, cough. This tiger is a descendant of the Four Great Divine Beasts. How can a stone ape with a dilute bloodline be compared with me? If he has the capabilities, you make him not eat medicinal pills and compare cultivation speed with me!"


    ". . . . . ."


    "Heh heh, actually, talking about improvement speed, we can''t catch up to Big Brother even if we whipped our horses! In a month, you already broke through four realms consecutively, reaching the peak Sixth Level Crystal Formation Realm!"


    Although White Light saying these words looked a little like licking his boots, he was really very astonished in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s bloodline did not have any special aspects; his body was not even the most ordinary spirit physique. But Ye Yuan''s breakthrough speed was not any bit slower than him, a divine beast progeny.


    This was the most freakish!


    While they were talking, the dulation of essence energy at the other secret room already calmed down. Yuan Fei walked out of the secret room.


    The aura of Yuan Fei who broke through to Tier 4 was already completely different!


    It was only to see him conceal his splendor inwards with not a trace of essence energy escaping his body. One clearly could not sense his essence energy, but it gave people an extremely powerful feeling!


    This was still him just after breaking through a realm and not able to release and withdraw it as he pleased. Wait until he finished consolidating his realm, that sort of soul-stirring threatening force would not emanate out, and he would look no different from ordinary demonic beasts.


    Yuan Fei was similarly a divine beast descendant. After breaking through to Tier 4, it was equivalent to stepping into the middle of the Three Realms. His divine beast bloodline would also trigger; his combat strength became exceedingly formidable.


    The stone ape clan was originally extremely skillful at fighting. Their combat strength even far surpassed same-rank demonic beasts!


    It was just that Yuan Fei''s divine beast bloodline was not activated in the past and was unable to unleash shocking combat strength.


    "Haha! Old Yuan, how''s the feeling of breaking through to Tier 4? Looking at your appearance, it''s like you''re going to totally destroy the room!" White Light said with a laugh.


    He and Yuan Fei were old friends already too. Seeing Yuan Fei broke through, he was naturally very happy as well.


    But Yuan Fei gave a silly smile and said, "Just broke through. Essence energy is still unable to be controlled freely. I''ve incurred Young Master''s ridicule. But the feeling of breaking through to Tier 4 is truly excellent! I feel like my entire body is filled with strength and that I can punch through a mountain in one fist!"


    Evidently, breaking through to Tier 4 made Yuan Fei very excited.


    After all, this was something he simply could not imagine before meeting Ye Yuan!

 407 Its Because Ism Scared That Foundation Will Be Unstable

    "Haha, looks like your divine beast bloodline awakened!" Ye Yuan saw through Yuan Fei''s transformation and said with a laugh.


    "Young Master has good eyes! After breaking through to Tier 4, I''ve awakened another part of inherited memories. Furthermore, I feel an extremely powerful bloodline strength hidden inside my body!" Yuan Fei said with joy.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed worthy of being the Equals Heaven Sage Ape''s progeny. As long as you can draw out this bloodline strength, you''ll surely be an extremely formidable existence in the future!"


    After a moment, Yuan Fei calmed down from basking in his joy and suddenly realized something not quite right.


    "En?" Yuan Fei gradually went from pleasantly surprised to astonishment.


    "Haha, Old Yuan''s reaction is really slow, only noticing now that something was off! You only broke through one level in a month''s time. Big Brother is going to break through the fifth level very soon and advance to the late-stage Crystal Formation Realm!" White Light said in derision.


    Yuan Fei was filled with shock. Breaking through five levels in a month''s time?


    Ye Yuan was at the Crystal Formation Realm now, not the Essence Qi Realm or Spirit Condensation Realm back then!


    Wasn''t such a breakthrough speed overly terrifying?


    Actually, logically speaking, the difficulty of this level that Yuan Fei broke through was far more challenging compared to Ye Yuan''s five levels added up.


    But the problem was that the time used was too short!


    To some ordinary martial artists, a month''s time was just barely enough for them to use to consolidate their realm.


    Even for those genius martial artists, wanting to break through a level in a month, that was something impossible!


    But Ye Yuan broke through five levels in succession within a month?


    "Alright. It''s late. Since Yuan Fei already broke through, you guys help to guard me. I''ll break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm right now!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Yuan Fei felt indescribable shock in his heart. At the rate of this speed, Ye Yuan catching up to him was just something soon!


    Although Yuan Fei had long known that Ye Yuan''s cultivation had virtually no bottlenecks, but to breakthrough five realms in a month, such a speed was too unbelievable.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan swallowed large quantities of Jade Spirit Pills again and started to break through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm in full force!


    Even if Ye Yuan did not comprehend so many realms in this lifetime, directly breaking through five realms was not a big deal.


    And his current realm comprehension already greatly exceeded the current standards.


    It was just that since he reincarnated, he had practically been on the run constantly all along. There had been completely no chance to rest properly and cultivate essence energy, resulting in his realm being too low.


    Now, him breaking through five realms was actually just water flowing unhindered when the conditions were right.


    When the medicinal pills entered the abdomen, an essence energy tempest gradually formed, plunging the entire hidden room into a violent storm!


    Yuan Fei was incomparably shocked when he saw this scene. "Did Young Master break through realms like this during this one month?"


    "Of course! Big Brother breaking through realms has this tiger grandpa''s, my, style; both of us eating medicinal pills like candy! Haha!" White Light said with a loud laugh.


    Thinking about these two freaks, Yuan Fei was speechless for a long time.


    The Stone-ape clan indeed had powerful physiques. But even he did not dare to consume medicinal pills like this. He would be stuffed to death!


    The joy from previously breaking through to Tier 4 was already struck down at this time and badly mangled.


    He was deeply aware that before long, he would be thoroughly surpassed by these two freaks!


    Moreover, Yuan Fei knew that even if he broke through to Tier 4 now and awakened divine beast bloodline strength, in a genuine life and death battle, he might not be Ye Yuan''s match either.


    After half a day, the essence energy inside the hidden room returned to serenity. Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    Currently, the aura from Ye Yuan''s body was much stronger compared to while being at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    "Hehe, how do you feel right now, Big Brother?" White Light asked with a flattering face.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "If I meet Zhao Chenggan again, even if I can''t kill him, giving him a violent thrashing should still be achievable!"


    White Light shook his head strongly and said unhappily, "Big Brother, you broke through five realms. Could it be that you still can''t take care of that fellow?"


    "Hur hur, I know that you''re pissed with him. But his strength is indeed very mighty! To be able to comprehend true intent at his age, this is not what ordinary people can accomplish. Even if I already broke through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm now, I''m still a major realm lower than him. To be able to defeat him is already pretty good," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Humph, humph! Anyway, I''m just very upset! I don''t care; Big Brother, you quickly refine candy for me. I want to break through to Tier 4 as soon as possible, then viciously trample that fellow to death and let him know that this tiger grandpa isn''t nice to provoke!" White Light said irately.


    "Haha, there are plenty of chances! My soul force has already reached Alchemy Grandmaster Perfection Realm now. Refining Demon Crystal Pill is but lifting a finger. I''ll find a time to refine medicinal pills for you! But I''ve already been in seclusion for a month. Star Abyss''s side should have some news too. We have to quickly exit seclusion. After all, we entered the Fierce Gale World in order to rescue Senior Apprentice Brother Yuntian and the rest," Ye Yuan said,


    Although White Light was playful, he still knew how to prioritize what was important and what was less urgent. He had already followed Ye Yuan for a very long time and knew Ye Yuan''s personality. So he stopped talking.


    Ye Yuan put Yuan Fei away in the spatial spirit artifact and exited the hidden room with White Light, but he saw that Shi Haoran was already waiting outside.


    When Shi Haoran saw Ye Yuan walk out, he came forward to greet with a smile.


    But when he saw Ye Yuan, his smile immediately froze on his face.


    "Little Junior Brother, you . . . you . . . Seventh Level! My god!" An Alchemy King expert like Shi Haoran was also somewhat incoherent in speech currently.


    "Haha, Little Brother was lucky to break through several realms. Elder Senior Brother doesn''t need to be so shocked," Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    He had long known that exiting seclusion would incur his seniors'' shock. But he could not be bothered with so much either.


    He could not not breakthrough in order not to let Shi Haoran and the rest get shocked, right?


    Furthermore, in the Fierce Gale World, it was riddled with dangers everywhere. If Ye Yuan still did not raise his realm, he would not even have the capital to protect himself.


    "Lucky . . . How . . . How can I not be shocked?! Little Junior Brother, I thought that you were in retreat to refine pills this one month. To think that you actually broke through five realms consecutively in one breath!" Shi Haoran said with a bitter smile.


    "Haha, refining pills is naturally for breaking through too," Ye Yuan said with a chortle.


    Shi Haoran''s expression because peculiar again. He said in surprise, "Those medicinal herbs, you can''t have . . . you can''t have . . ."


    Seeing Ye Yuan nod his head with a smile, Shi Haoran nearly bit his own tongue off.


    You''ve got to be kidding?


    One month''s time. Refining so many medicinal herbs into medicinal pills and even breaking through five realms? Was this making a joke?


    Facing Shi Haoran, Ye Yuan knew that he could not conceal it, so he might as well not hide it from him.


    "Little Junior Brother, you''re really a freak!" Shi Haoran heaved a long sigh and said, "I previously warned you not to be in a rush to break through realms, but you just wouldn''t listen. You breaking through like this will affect your future cultivation!"


    Although breaking through five realms in succession was very monstrous, but it would inevitably cause the foundation to be unstable. This point, Shi Haoran was very clear.


    Honestly speaking, when he saw Ye Yuan standing here perfectly well, he already felt that it was a miracle.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Eldest Senior Brother don''t need to worry. I won''t treat my own future as a joke. It was because I was scared that my foundation would be unstable that I only just broke through five realms."


    ". . . . . ." Shi Haoran was speechless.

 408 Xiao Ruyan Met with a Mishap!

    Shi Haoran really did not know how he should express his emotions.


    What was called scared that foundation would be unstable? What was called only broke through five realms?


    The cultivation of essence energy was a grinding process. Even more talented martial artists would not dare to break through realms like this!


    Shi Haoran decided not to argue with Ye Yuan anymore. He was going to report this matter to Master and let Master come and urge Little Junior Brother.


    "Fine then, you win!" Shi Haoran was speechless.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is there some matter for Eldest Senior Brother to wait here especially for me?"


    Shi Haoran nodded and said, "Master instructed a few days ago to ask you to go find him immediately after exiting seclusion, saying that there''s something important to discuss with you. I estimated that you should exit seclusion right about today, so I came here to wait for you."


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred. Could it be that there were clues about the matter regarding his seniors?


    "Thank you very much, Eldest Senior Brother. I''ll go see Master right away." Ye Yuan clasped his hand and gave thanks.


    "Wait a minute!" Shi Haoran suddenly said.


    "Does Eldest Senior Brother still have anything?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "Before meeting master, there''s somebody that you probably have to meet."


    "En? Who?"


    Ye Yuan was somewhat confused. He did not seem to know many people in the capital. Why would there be people coming to find him?


    "You''ll know when you go and see."


    . . . . . .


    When Ye Yuan saw the arrival, he could not help having a foreboding feeling.


    "Young Master Ji! I beg you to save Second Miss!" Manager Tong grabbed Ye Yuan''s arm and directly kneeled down, tears flowing down his old face.


    The arrival was precisely the Four Seas Building''s manager, Tong Suan. Seeing his sniveling look, Ye Yuan''s heart also involuntarily palpitated.


    He hurriedly supported Tong Suan and asked, "Don''t be anxious, Manager Tong. Talk slowly. What happened to Miss Ruyan?"


    Tong Suan choking through sobs said, "Second Miss she . . . she consumed the Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder this morning. At this time, already . . . already . . ."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said, "Go! Talk on the way!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan directly pulled Tong Suan and left like a gust of wind. Shi Haoran hesitated for a moment and tagged along too.


    Along the way, the three people moved as swift as the wind. But Ye Yuan more or less also understood the sequence of events.


    Ever since the Grand Pill Assembly, the Xiao Family acquired 70% of the management rights anew. The family situation also took a turn for the better.


    But the matter of the martial competition to find a spouse was already spilled water that could not be recovered. The Xiao Family did not have the confidence to withdraw the promise as well.


    Yet, Xiao Ruyan did not wish to marry at all. This one month, she was all moody and depressed.


    In between this, Xiao Ruyan even came to find Ye Yuan once. But Ye Yuan was in a closed-seclusion.


    Watching helplessly as the day of the spouse finding martial competition gradually approached, Xiao Ruyan also slowly became melancholic and low-spirited.


    Nobody would have thought that she would actually swallow the Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder tonight!


    The Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder was an extremely fierce Quasi-Tier 4 poison. It could be said to kill upon contact with blood. By the time a maidservant discovered Xiao Ruyan, she was already severely poisoned and incurable!


    Even Xiao Changfeng, an Alchemy King, was at a loss on what to do.


    But Tong Suan had a sudden inspiration and carried a just try it mindset to go and seek help at Qixia Mountain. To think that he just happened to bump into Ye Yuan who left seclusion.


    "This foolish woman!" Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth indignantly.


    Ever since Xiao Ruyan stood up to support him in the Grand Pill Assembly, Ye Yuan already treated her as a friend.


    Towards friends, Ye Yuan naturally would not watch her die passively.


    But he still felt very livid towards Xiao Ruyan''s foolish actions.


    Don''t wish to marry, you could run from the wedding, could run away from home, could pretend to go mad. Why did you have to use this sort of silly method?


    . . . . . .


    When Ye Yuan arrived at Xiao Ruyan''s chambers, the place was already in a chaotic mess.


    In truth, Xiao Ruyan''s alchemic talent was even stronger than Xiao Rufeng''s. Her accomplishments in the future were bound to be extraordinary.


    But now, an alchemy genius of her generation, one of the peerless beauties of the capital''s dual absolutes, actually passed away like this. This made many people sigh unceasingly.


    When Ye Yuan saw Xiao Changfeng, his eyes were red. Evidently, he was heartbroken too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Xiao Changfeng was rather surprised, but he still came forward to greet, "I''ve seen Young Master Ji!"


    That day, the matter of the seventh prince bearing a rod to ask for punishment already caused a sensation in the entire capital.


    Everyone knew that the face of the eighth disciple that Sovereign Star Abyss took in was so big that it poked the skies. He actually made the Seventh Prince bear a rod to ask for punishment and kneel down to admit his fault!


    While in the capital, the ones who understood Ye Yuan best was none other than the Xiao Family. Xiao Changfeng even held awe and veneration towards Ye Yuan in his heart.


    He, an Alchemy King, was nothing in front of Sovereign Star Abyss.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any good attitude. He sneered coldly and said, "You, as her father, are truly of the highest grade! To actually have forced your own daughter to death!"


    Xiao Changfeng''s expression dimmed, but he did not refute. He heaved a sigh and said, "Although I''m the family head, I don''t have much of a choice either! Who knew . . . Who knew that Ruyan she . . . would actually be so resolute?!"


    "Enough crap! Let me see Ruyan!" Ye Yuan was not in the mood to talk rubbish with him.


    Xiao Changfeng nodded slightly and opened up the path.


    Ye Yuan rushed inside like a gust of wind. On the jade bed, Xiao Ruyan wore an unadorned but elegant white outfit, lying there quietly as if she was asleep.


    Seeing Xiao Ruyan, Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh in relief. Her qi had yet to dissipate fully!


    As long as her qi was not cut off, Ye Yuan could bring her back!


    "All scram outside for me!" Ye Yuan went forward to prop Xiao Ruyan up and turned around to bellow.


    There were many Xiao Family elders crowding around the scene. Seeing the situation, their eyebrows all furrowed.


    "Ji Qing! Who the hell are you, to dare yell at us like this?"


    "That''s right! You''re no longer Xiao Family''s guest retainer. When was it your turn to meddle in my Xiao Family''s affairs?"


    "Put Ruyan down! Otherwise, we won''t be courteous!"


    "The dead is the most important! You even dare to touch Ruyan''s remains. Do you really take my Xiao Family to have no people?"


    Many Xiao Family elders immediately refused to comply and made a row.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly inwardly. He knew that the ones who forced Xiao Ruyan to death were precisely these hypocritical Xiao Family elders.


    Xiao Ruyan once complained tearfully in front of him that these Xiao Family elders all bullied her; selling her out like a commodity.


    Although Xiao Changfeng was a little weak and indecisive, he still cared deeply for Xiao Ruyan and would not go so far as to do this.


    But for the sake of the Xiao Family''s continuation, he did not say much either.


    Ye Yuan''s heart was like a clear mirror, which was why he did not have a good attitude towards Xiao Changfeng.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Xiao Changfeng''s difficulties. But in Ye Yuan''s viewpoint, even if the Xiao Family no longer existed tomorrow, he could not sacrifice his own daughter''s happiness as a father either!


    "Xiao Changfeng! If you wish to see your daughter die like this, then let those dregs continue clamoring here!" Ye Yuan voice carried unspeakable rage.


    Xiao Changfeng was stunned when he heard this. He said in surprise, "You . . . You can bring Ruyan back to life?"


    Ye Yuan did not answer him. He just said coldly, "I don''t wish for these flies to buzz around my ears non-stop!"


    "You! Ji Qing, you actually dare to call us dregs and flies?!"


    "Changfeng, don''t listen to this punk talk nonsense. Ruyan is already dead by being poisoned. Even if Sovereign Star Abyss came here, he can''t save her too!"


    "Changfeng, as the head of a family, are you going to watch an outsider raise a row here?"


    For a moment, the Xiao Family elders all exploded, reproaching Xiao Changfeng one after another.

 409 Ye Yuan Flaring Up

    Xiao Changfeng''s expression flickered non-stop.


    He was an Alchemy King expert; he could naturally tell that Xiao Ruyan was already without any vital activities, impossible to bring back.


    But Ye Yuan just had to say that he could bring her back. Should he believe Ye Yuan or not?


    So many elders were exerting pressure on him, demanding to chase Ye Yuan away. He could not disregard everybody''s opinions either.


    For a moment, Xiao Changfeng wavered.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and suddenly recalled Ye Yuan''s dazzling performance in the Grand Pill Assembly.


    Perhaps . . . he really could!


    The elders were still talking all at once, making Xiao Changfeng feel very irritated.


    "All shut your mouths for me!" Xiao Changfeng roared, silencing everyone.


    "All get out for me! Let Young Master Ji try!" Xiao Changfeng said.


    "Changfeng, how can you be so muddled? How can people revive after they die? This boy is clearly here to cause trouble!" said a Xiao Family elder.


    Xiao Changfeng glared and said, "The one lying on the bed is my daughter. Can''t I even make this decision? En? Am I still the Xiao Family''s Family Head or not?"


    Xiao Changfeng''s aura released. This time, no one dared to speak.


    These elders exchanged glances but finally still withdrew out of the room.


    Ye Yuan watched indifferently, thinking to himself that this fellow was still not considered hopeless.


    Ye Yuan casually threw Xiao Changfeng a jade slip and said, "At least you have a bit of consciousness towards Ruyan. Prepare the medicinal herbs well according to this formula. I''ll need to start a furnace to refine pills in a while."


    Xiao Changfeng nodded and did not say much as he left.


    Ye Yuan supported Xiao Ruyan well and executed the Tempered Profound Gold Finger once again.


    . . . . . .


    Roughly an hour later, the elders waiting outside the room were all quite impatient.


    "Oh Changfeng, that boy is messing around, you''re messing around with him too! You''re an Alchemy King! Even you''ve determined that Ruyan has died, how can he bring her back to life? Now, he chased all of us out here and stayed in Ruyan''s chambers alone. Where is the sense of propriety?"


    The one speaking was a Xiao Family elder with a rather high position, an exalted Quasi-Alchemy King too. His name was Xiao Changhong.


    Ever since the Xiao Family seized back the medicinal pill market, these elders'' confidence all swelled up one by one.


    They had immense faith that the Xiao Family could rely on these ten years to rise up once more.


    In the past, they felt a head shorter than others when they went out. But now, their heads all raised to the skies when they went outside.


    Hearing Xiao Changhong said so, Xiao Changfeng frowned but did not speak.


    The more Xiao Changhong talked, the angrier he got. He even pointed the spearhead at Xiao Ruyan and said recalcitrantly, "Ruyan this lass is seriously. . . The Xiao Family raised her up so big and even nurtured her to become a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. How many resources were expended? Now, when the Xiao Family needs her, she did something like this. It really chills our hearts greatly! Her death doesn''t matter, but how are you going to give an account to the Huang and Xue families?"


    "That''s right! Ruyan this lass is seriously outrageous!" With Xiao Changhong saying so, many elders immediately concurred.


    When Xiao Changhong saw that everyone stood on his side, he became even more zealous and continued, "As I said, Ruyan this lass doesn''t know what''s good for her! Isn''t it just marrying someone? Which girl doesn''t marry? Also, those two young masters from the Huang Family and Xue Family are dragons among men. Could it be that they are still undeserving of Ruyan?"


    Right at this moment, a piercingly cold killing intent suddenly attacked!


    Xiao Changhong had yet to figure out what was going on when his throat was already tightly grasped by a hand, unable to speak.


    Ye Yuan pinned Xiao Changhong onto the wall and said icily, "You just try saying another cynical word!"


    "Cough . . . Cough, cough! L-Let go of me!" Xiao Changhong''s two feet were straight but did not dare to resist.


    At this time, Ye Yuan just had to spit essence energy, and he could claim this old life of this.


    Seeing Ye Yuan overflowing with killing intent, the Xiao Family elders all felt chills.


    This boy . . . was only a Crystal Formation Realm martial artists. How could he be so strong?


    Although Xiao Changhong was an alchemist, he was, at any rate, a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. He did not even get to react and was pinned on the wall by Ye Yuan?


    "You bunch of fools! As elders, you don''t have any capabilities at all, and still need the juniors to sacrifice their own marital happiness to help achieve your selfish gains! Truly laughable! You all nurtured Ruyan. She has already done sufficiently well. These years, how much pressure was she, a little girl, shouldering? You these old fellows, other than gesticulating behind backs, what have you done? A bunch of opinionated things!" Ye Yuan words were filled with rage, making everyone feel a chill unceasingly.


    "Ji Qing! Here is the Xiao Family! How can we allow you to be so insolent! What we do is the Xiao Family''s own affairs! It''s not your turn to come and bother! Quickly let go of Elder Changhong!" another elder said grimly.


    Ye Yuan turned around and looked at that elder coldly. He suddenly smiled and said, "Is that so?"


    The elders were taken by Ye Yuan''s aura and could not resist backing away.


    "You . . . What are you trying to do?!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If I recall correctly, my Xiao Family''s guest retainer identity doesn''t seem to have been removed yet, right? Since I''m a Xiao Family guest retainer, why can''t I interfere with Xiao Family''s affairs?"


    As Ye Yuan said, his face suddenly darkened as he said, "I can''t be bothered with the Xiao Family''s matters either. But Ruyan''s matters are my matters. If you all dare to coerce her again in the future, your outcome will be like this rock!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan casually fired out a blast of essence energy. A fake mountain not far in the distant instantly turned into dust.


    The elders'' faces all changed. They were frightened by Ye Yuan''s aura.


    To be able to instantly defeat Xiao Changhong, Ye Yuan''s strength could be seen at a glance.


    The Xiao Family naturally had Soul Sea Realm martial artists too. But Ye Yuan was not alone by himself!


    Behind Ye Yuan stood Sovereign Star Abyss!


    To be able to make His Highness, the Seventh Prince, kowtowed and apologized for his mistake, who in the capital dare to provoke this malefic star?


    "Now, all scram far away from me, in case this Little Lord, I, get vexed when I see you!" Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    How could the elders dare to stay? Each one of them ran faster than rabbits. In the big courtyard, only Xiao Changfeng and Ye Yuan were left currently.


    Xiao Changfeng''s expression changed again, very astonished by Ye Yuan''s strength.


    He remembered that when Ye Yuan left the Xiao Family a month ago, he was still just Second Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. How long had it been only and he was already at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm?


    But now was clearly not the time to be asking this. Xiao Changfeng asked rather awkwardly, "Young Master Ji, Ruyan she . . ."


    Ye Yuan looked at him nonchalantly and responded with a question instead, "Are the medicinal herbs all prepared?"


    Xiao Changfeng hurried nodded and said, "All prepared. All inside my pill refinement room. Tong Suan is right outside. He''ll bring you in."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "You go inside then. Ruyan still has some time before she''ll wake up. I''ll go and prepare the Detoxification Pill right now. You look after her well!"


    Although he was long prepared, Xiao Changfeng''s entire body still trembled as he asked disbelievingly, "You . . . You really brought her back to life?"


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said coolly, "Could it be that you wanted to see your own daughter die?"

 410 Xiao Changfeng’s Scheme

    On the jade bed, the beauty opened both eyes weakly.


    Xiao Changfeng was overjoyed as he said, "Ruyan, you''re awake!"


    "F-Father?"


    Xiao Ruyan saw Xiao Changfeng when she opened her eyes, but she stubbornly turned her head over and was unwilling to take another look.


    Xiao Changfeng felt a heartache as he let out a feeble sigh and said, "Ruyan, Father knows that you have a grudge in your heart, but . . . Father is helpless too!"


    Xiao Ruyan still had her head turned and refused to say a word.


    Xiao Changfeng''s heart was like it was being sliced by blades. He knew that his daughter was already extremely disappointed in him.


    "Fine then. You aren''t willing to listen to father''s words, but you''re willing to listen to Ji Qing''s words, right?" Xiao Changfeng sighed heavily and said.


    Xiao Ruyan''s body quivered when she heard that and could not resist turning her head around, her eyes filled with doubt.


    Xiao Changfeng knew his daughter''s thoughts and explained, "Father is incapable. When I discovered that you were poisoned, Father was already powerless to do anything. It was Ji Qing''s miraculous skills that could revive the dead that actually brought you back to life miraculously!"


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes were filled with astoundment. She was clearly than anyone else about the toxicity of the Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder. It could be said to kill upon infliction.


    After being poisoned for several hours, it was basically beyond redemption. Ji Qing could actually bring her back. How brilliant medical skills were needed for this?!


    "W-Where is he?" Xiao Ruyan asked with a slight tremor.


    Xiao Changfeng sighed again and said, "Ruyan, I know that you might not like to hear some words, but the spouse finding martial competition is already unavoidable. Otherwise, it will be very hard for our Xiao Family to keep a foothold in the capital in the future if we offend the two Huang and Xue families at the same time."


    Seeing his daughter''s emotions becoming agitated, Xiao Changfeng hurriedly said, "You don''t get agitated first! Listen to me finish talking first! Perhaps, this unsolvable situation now has an opportunity to reverse!"


    Xiao Ruyan''s beautiful eyes swirled slightly, and she said in surprise, "Father''s meaning is . . ."


    Xiao Changfeng nodded and said, "That''s right! If you''re really unwilling to marry into the two Huang and Xue families, maybe you can land this matter on Ji Qing! I think . . . if it was Ji Qing, you . . . wouldn''t reject, right?"


    Hearing Xiao Changfeng''s words, Xiao Ruyan''s initially pallid and wan face because of weakness became flushed red.


    Seeing Xiao Ruyan putting on a posture to refute but blushed instad, Xiao Changfeng sighed faintly and said, "Actually, during the Grand Pill Assembly, I already saw through your thoughts. After Ji Qing was taken in by Sovereign Star Abyss as a disciple, his status was also sufficient to be mentioned in the same breath as the Huang and Xue families. If the two of you were brought together, it isn''t prohibited either. It''s just . . ."


    Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiao Ruyan was actually slightly gleeful in her heart.


    But when she heard the two words ''it''s just,'' Xiao Ruyan''s heart involuntarily plunged, and she asked weakly, "It''s just what?"


    "Sigh . . . I never would have thought that you would do something so resolute. I''m afraid . . . afraid that you drop flowers pining for love, while he, a heartless brook, babbles along!" Xiao Changfeng said with a sigh.


    Xiao Ruyan''s heart involuntarily jolted fiercely as she said unresignedly, "If he doesn''t have interest in me, why did he help me repeatedly?"


    "Father is somebody who has gone through it all. Ultimately, I can see things clearer than you. Although I don''t know why he entered the Xiao Family, Ji Qing definitely came harboring some kind of goal. That was why Father carried out an unwise decision to intentionally let him and Tong Wencahng face off. Who knew that unexpected sowing led to blooming in the garden? Ji Qing actually became the Xiao Family''s savior! Honestly, Father actually already completely infuriated him at that time with distrust. If not for you standing up to support him vehemently, he would probably have already flicked his sleeves and left."


    Hearing Xiao Changfeng''s words, Xiao Ruyan was even more puzzled. "Since that''s the case, doesn''t that show even more clearly . . ."


    Xiao Changfeng shook his head and said, "It''s precisely because of this that showed more clearly he doesn''t have feelings of man and women towards you but ties of friendship! If he entered the Xiao Family because of you, he definitely wouldn''t have gotten so angry because of father''s distrust. He also would not have performed so low-key in the Grand Pill Assembly but try to think of ways to make you and Father value him highly. Although I don''t know why, something must have happened during the Grand Pill Assembly to have utterly infuriated him, making him destroy Tong Wenchang completely!"


    Listening up to here, Xiao Ruyan''s complexion immediately became as pale as paper again.


    Those closely involved could not see clearly. Only with Xiao Changfeng analyzing like this, did Xiao Ruyan know that maybe it was her wishful thinking. A line of clear tears flowed down uncontrollably again.


    "Ruyan, you don''t have to be like this. This matter might still have a turnaround!" Xiao Changfeng said.


    Xiao Ruyan said in tears, "Father doesn''t need to console me . . ."


    "I''m not consoling you. Perhaps you can really fight on this matter. Previously, I didn''t have assurance. But now . . . I have 70% confidence," Xiao Changfeng said.


    "70% confidence?" Xiao Ruyan asked doubtfully.


    Xiao Changfeng nodded and said, "That''s right! Ji Qing should have his objectives coming to the Xiao Family, so I didn''t have any confidence at all. I was afraid of offending a future major figure, so I didn''t open my mouth all along. But today, through your affairs, I can conclude that Ji Qing is somebody who values brotherhood immensely! If . . . you''re really unwilling to marry into the two Huang and Xue family, maybe you can poke open this layer of windowpane paper to him. With his disposition, I believe that he wouldn''t wish to see you jump into a fire pit."


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes could not help lighting up but dimmed very quickly.


    To a girl, especially a peerless beauty like Xiao Ruyan, asking her to poke a hole through this layer of windowpane paper was too hard.


    This need enormous courage!


    Furthermore, Xiao Changfeng already made it very clear just now, Ye Yuan only had feelings of friendships towards her.


    What if . . . he rejected?


    By not poking a hole, maybe they could still be friends. Once she poked a hole through this windowpane paper, they might not even be friends anymore.


    This was not the outcome that Xiao Ruyan wanted!


    Despair was the greatest sorrow. At that time, she might feel even worse than dying!


    "I . . ." Xiao Ruyan clearly fell into an extreme internal conflict.


    "Sigh, I know that this is somewhat cruel to you too. But this is already the best plan that Father can think of. Most importantly, you''re in love with Ji Qing, isn''t it? Ji Qing has already waited outside for a long time. I''ll go call him in now. As for whether you tell him or not, that will have to depend on yourself." Xiao Changfeng sighed lightly and turned around and left.


    Xiao Ruyan did not notice that at the moment he turned around, a glimmer of light flashed across Xiao Changfeng''s eyes.


    It was true that Xiao Changfeng said this for the sake of his daughter. But more importantly, once Ye Yuan and Xiao Ruyan became a pair, it would be equivalent to the Xiao Family getting close to the Alchemist Association, this giant banner.


    With this layer of relation, nobody could shake the position of the Xiao Family in the capital anymore!


    Star Abyss actually dared to sanction the royal family for Ye Yuan. It could be seen how highly he valued this disciple.


    Once the two people tied the nuptial knot, the arrangement in the capital''s alchemy scene would undergo a change again, and the Grand Pill Assembly would not have the need to be carried out anymore!


    This was Xiao Changfeng''s deeper level scheme!


    Xiao Ruyan''s thoughts were pure. How could she see through Xiao Changfeng''s such deep thoughts?


    Speaking of which, even if she saw through it, she would most likely want to hold Ye Yuan''s heart without looking back as well, right?Expose the truth

 411 Take Me in as a Disciple

    Seeing Ye Yuan again, Xiao Ruyan''s tears once again flowed down with disappointment.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How big a matter was it? Was there a need to attempt suicide? Such a beautiful girl; so many people are fighting to have. Such a pity if you died. Putting yourself at home to be a flower vase is also pretty good!"


    "Puchi!"


    One sentence tickled Xiao Ruyan, turning tears into smiles. Rolling her eyes at Ye Yuan, she pouted and said, "Can''t you say something properly for once? Frivolous!"


    Her eyes were filled with amorous feelings, mesmerizing people to death. Putting Ye Yuan who was looking into a trace as well.


    "Haha, didn''t I see that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward and wanted to liven things up?" Ye Yuan said slightly awkwardly.


    But Xiao Ruyan''s eyes dimmed and she shouted begrudgingly, "You shouldn''t have saved me!"


    "Mm? Didn''t I already save you? Heh heh, you foolish girl, is it worth it to do this?" Ye Yuan said with a smile


    Xiao Ruyan sighed and said, "There''s no worth it or not, only willing or not. I don''t wish to go against Father''s intention and also don''t wish for myself to become another person''s accessory. This was the best option . . . Ah! What are you doing?"


    Xiao Ruyan was just bemoaning her fate vacantly when suddenly a face popped up in front of her, making her jump in fright and hastily backing away.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You''re lying!"


    That scene earlier made Xiao Ruyan''s little heart flutter, only to see her flustered expression, her eyes dodging like she did something guilty.


    "I . . . When did I?" Xiao Ruyan said softly.


    "Your eyes betrayed out! The eyes of a person whose heart is dead like ashes are utterly without a lease of life. But you . . . are filled with attachment towards this world!"


    "S-So what then? I have no other choice!" Having her thoughts exposed by Ye Yuan, Xiao Ruyan said with hints of embarrassment.


    Of course, she was filled with attachments towards this world!


    She was attached to her Alchemy Path. She was attached to her parents and her elder brother. She was attached to . . . Ye Yuan.


    The Xiao Ruyan at this time was very sensitive. She felt that Ye Yuan was well-disposed towards her, but Ye Yuan completely turned a blind eye to her. He clearly knew that the spouse finding martial competition was about to begin, yet he still entered closed-seclusion to cultivate.


    In her despair, she chose this sort of extreme way of doing things.


    "Haha, don''t wish to die, then don''t die," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Xiao Ruyan did not know where the courage came from. She suddenly yelled at Ye Yuan, "Easy talk for you! Do you know how powerful first-rate families are? Do you know the Xiao Family''s current predicament? Do you know my circumstances? Don''t want to die? What about the spouse finding martial competition? Could it be that you''re going to go defeat Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe and marry me?"


    Saying finish the words in one breath, Xiao Ruyan stared fixedly at Ye Yuan''s eyes, looking very furious, but in truth, her heart already leaped up to her throat.


    She was worried Ye Yuan would say no, worried that Ye Yuan would turn around and leave.


    The two people stared at each other. For a moment, there was only the sound of breathing in the room.


    "Fine," after a moment, Ye Yuan suddenly cracked a smile and said.


    "What?" Xiao Ruyan did not react right away and instinctively blurted out.


    "I''ll help you settle those two fellows. But . . . I have no way of marrying you." Ye Yuan felt that regarding this kind of matters, it was better not to do things sloppily.


    "You . . . What do you mean?"


    Xiao Ruyan was pleasantly surprised earlier, but the second-half of Ye Yuan''s sentence splashed down like a basin of cold water.


    "My meaning is that I''ll participate in the spouse finding martial competition and help you take care of those two punks. But . . . I have no way of marrying you . . ." Ye Yuan said.


    Although he knew that these words were rather hurtful, he had no choice but to say it.


    Ye Yuan only entered the Fierce Gale World in order to save people. Whether he could return to the Endless World alive was another matter altogether.


    Even if he returned to the Endless World, their two sides were also destined to be enemies.


    Could enemy and enemy be together?


    Ye Yuan naturally liked beauties. But he did not have the qualifications to enjoy beautiful women right now. He could only treat Xiao Ruyan as a friend.


    Since he treated Xiao Ruyan as a friend, he could not bring great harm to her.


    This was Ye Yuan''s principle!


    He did not agree to Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou back then also because of this reason.


    "Can you tell me why?"


    Not knowing why, Xiao Ruyan calmed down at this time instead.


    Ye Yuan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "I have my own difficulties. Sorry."


    Xiao Ruyan nodded and actually smiled sweetly, saying, "As long as you don''t let me marry those two fellows, that will do! Thank you, Ji Qing!"


    Seeing Xiao Ruyan like so, Ye Yuan''s heart eased up slightly. Honestly speaking, dealing with matters of the heart was really not his strong suit.


    Ye Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "What''s to thank? Being of service to Miss Ruyan is something that many men in the capital dream to have! Other people can''t even beg for it, but I gained a huge advantage! H-Haha."


    Ye Yuan himself felt that this joke was not funny at all, but Xiao Ruyan giggled non-stop.


    No matter how one looked at it, this laugh carried some misery and bitterness inside. But Ye Yuan did not know how to resolve it either.


    "Ah! Ji Qing, you . . . you''re actually Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm already?" Xiao Ruyan suddenly noticed something and the laughter stopped.


    "En. My closed-seclusion this one month was in order to break through realms," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "I . . . I really can''t see through you more and more! Your strength in the Alchemy Path is powerful until it makes people despair. You actually have such peerless talent in the Martial Path too! Just what kind of existence are you?"


    In Xiao Ruyan''s viewpoint, Ye Yuan was an enigmatic man. Or perhaps it was precisely this point which attracted her deeply.


    "Haha, I am me, a different colored firework."


    "Frivolous! But . . . even if you broke through to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, you''re still a lot worse than them. You . . . If you can''t do it, don''t force it!" Xiao Ruyan said worriedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax. Just two middle-stage Sea Transformation Realms. I think nothing of them!"


    "Really?" Xiao Ruyan said doubtfully.


    "Of course it''s true!" Ye Yuan said confidently.


    "Alright then. But I still have one matter to request of you. You mustn''t reject me!" Xiao Ruyan suddenly said seriously.


    "You say it first. I''ll definitely agree what I can promise!" Ye Yuan did not fall for it and decided to hear the contents first before deciding.


    Xiao Ruyan looked at Ye Yuan with a begrudging face and said, "You, this fellow, really don''t have the thoughts of being tender towards women!"


    "H-Haha." Ye Yuan gave a laugh.


    "If you can really defeat Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe, you don''t have to marry me, but . . . I want to follow you in the future!" Xiao Ruyan said.


    "Ah? Follow me?" Ye Yuan had an astonished look.


    "Yeah! You defeat them in front of the entire capital but refuse to marry me. How will I marry in the future? So . . . I''m going to stick to you in the future. I want to follow you! If you don''t agree, I''ll just die another round. Either way, I''m already somebody who died once!" Xiao Ruyan threatened.


    Ye Yuan felt his head swell and he waved his hands, saying, "What''s the deal with you following me? I already said that I have my own difficulties!"


    "That''s simple. You just take me in as a disciple, and that will do!" A hint of cunning flickered across Xiao Ruyan''s eyes.

 412 Return a Favor with a Favor

    Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Ruyan rather surprisedly and blurted out, "Take you in as a disciple?"


    "Yeah! I''m not forcing you to become Dao companions with me either. It''s just taking me in as a disciple. Not overboard, right?" Xiao Ruyan said.


    "This . . ."


    Ye Yuan could not help hesitating. He did not even officially take in disciples in his previous life. He really did not have the desire to be a teacher.


    Xiao Ruyan suddenly raising this condition made him unable to make a choice for a moment.


    Not that Ye Yuan was averse to take a disciple, it was just that he was not willing to waste time on something like teaching disciples in his previous life. So, he could not be bothered to take any disciples.


    People like Li Daohang belonged to those with better luck; they were people who were able to learn alchemy by his side.


    Even if he did not deliberately go and teach, Li Daohang also used just a hundred years to cultivate from Alchemy Ancestor to Alchemy Venerable Realm; only a step away from stepping into Alchemy Emperor.


    One could say that being beside Ye Yuan, even if it was just being a little medicine boy, it would also be endlessly beneficial.


    Xiao Ruyan could not help being anxious when she saw Ye Yuan hesitate and said, "Don''t say anything like you''re young and can''t teach me. I know the disparity between us! Your strength is more than enough to be my master! If you don''t even agree to this, I don''t need you to get on the stage either. At most, I''ll consume another portion of Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder."


    One had to acknowledge that when a woman like Xiao Ruyan acted like a spoiled girl, all men would find it hard to resist.


    First, cry; second, make a fuss; and third, hang oneself. Even knowing all these, Ye Yuan was just weak to this tactic. He instantly said helplessly, "Fine then. Be my disciple then. But I''ll say the nasty things first. I will leave the capital in the future!"


    Ye Yuan naturally would not stay here for a long time. As long as he rescued his fellow apprentices, he would leave immediately.


    Who knew that Xiao Ruyan became overjoyed and said, "Doesn''t matter. Wherever you are, I''ll be there! I have a feeling that by following you, I''ll get even closer to the magnificent Dao of Alchemy!"


    "En? If you go, what about your parents and brother?"


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes dimmed as she said, "The Xiao Family has seized back management rights. My mission is already completed. The Xiao Family doesn''t need me anymore. As for Father and Mother . . . they still have Big Brother and other children. One less person is fine."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes flickered, but he did not speak.


    He could sense the blow that this incident had on Xiao Ruyan was tremendous. The heartlessness of the Xiao Family elders already made Xiao Ruyan lose complete faith in the Xiao Family.


    Continuing to stay in the Xiao Family, as long as she could be the bargaining chip for their exchange of benefits, they would not care about Xiao Ruyan''s feelings.


    To the Xiao Ruyan who had already died once, she had already come to accept many things.


    These past 20 years, she lived for the Xiao Family.


    From today onwards, she would live for herself. She wanted to pursue her own path; her own happiness!


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not know if he told her that he was an Endless World native, would she leave with him or not?"


    . . . . . .


    Following Shi Haoran out of the Xiao Family, Ye Yuan kept feeling very odd in his heart.


    This female disciple was accepted somewhat awkwardly no matter how one looked at it.


    Other people took in disciples in order to continue their legacy, but why did it have the feeling that he took in Xiao Ruyan because of some ulterior motives?


    To Shi Haoran, Ye Yuan did not have much to hide and directly told him the agreement with Xiao Ruyan for him to hear.


    After Shi Haoran heard it, he first sized Ye Yuan up with a peculiar look in his eyes, and he finally raised a big thumbs up as he exclaimed with admiration, "Little Junior Brother is indeed extraordinary! Other people are all fighting to take the two absolutes back home to be Dao companions, but you actually blazed a new trail and started playing with teacher-student love affair!"


    Ye Yuan had an impulse to collapse. He said huffily, "What teacher-student love affair?! I didn''t want to take her in as a disciple. But she threatened to die. What can I do?"


    "Ha! Little Junior Brother doesn''t need to have any qualms. There''s nothing bad about teacher-student relationship either. Instead, it has another flavor! Little Junior Brother just has to be yourself. With Master and me backing you, what''s there to fear?" Shi Haoran said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and was utterly defeated by this dirty old man and just ignored him altogether.


    Returning to Qixia Mountain, Ye Yuan directly went to see Star Abyss.


    When Star Abyss saw Ye Yuan, he similarly had a look of astonishment.


    "Even if you took over a body to rebirth, isn''t this cultivation speed a little too fast?" Star Abyss said in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan was not willing to waste his breath on this. He waved his hands and said, "Relax, I know what I''m doing. Something like killing the chicken to retrieve the egg, I won''t do it. You came to find me; is there some news?"


    Star Abyss smiled faintly and waved his sleeves. Several human silhouettes appeared out of thin air!


    This Star Abyss actually had a spatial spirit artifact too!


    Seeing these few figures, Ye Yuan could not help lightly trembling all over.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo! Senior Apprentice Brother Wujiu! Senior Apprentice Brother Tianyu! Senior Apprentice Brother Du! Senior Apprentice Brother Chen! I-It''s really great that you''re all fine!" Ye Yuan said agitatedly.


    These few people were shockingly Mo Yuntian and the rest!


    Apart from Mei Zhen, everybody was all here!


    Ye Yuan did not think that Star Abyss was actually so extravagant; rescuing everyone in one shot!


    It was just that Mo Yuntian and the rest all had vacant eyes; they were similar as the Du Cheng that Ye Yuan saw that day. Clearly, the divine soul prohibitions had yet to be removed.


    "Their divine soul restrictions will be up to you to undo then. Otherwise, I can''t explain to them," Star Abyss said.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said with a nod, "You did very well. This time . . . thank you very much!"


    Star Abyss smiled and said, "With my status, asking for a few slaves is still not a problem. It''s just . . . that Mei Zhen whom you mentioned is quite troublesome."


    Ye Yuan frowned and asked, "How so?"


    Star Abyss said, "This batch of Endless World slaves, the highest strength is at the Sea Transformation Realm. And Sea Transformation Realm slaves are all kept by the royal family. Because that Mei Zhen is a Sea Transformation Realm expert, he was naturally kept behind by the royal family. Speaking of which, it''s a coincidence too; the one who took him in was none other than Seventh Prince, Zhao Chenggan! We were just at odds with the royal family. It isn''t convenient to open our mouths and ask for him at this time. Otherwise, it would be too obvious."


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows knitted together even tighter. If Mei Zhen was in Zhao Chenggan''s hands, then this matter was truly quite hard to deal with.


    After a long while, Ye Yuan finally slowly said, "This matter is indeed a little troublesome. But . . . I''ve remembered this favor! How about this? My present strength can''t help you much, but I''ll impart you a piece of soul cultivation formula."


    Star Abyss''s entire body trembled as he said disbelievingly, "W-What kind of soul cultivation formula?"


    As the chairman of the Alchemist Association, Star Abyss naturally did not lack soul cultivation formulas. Otherwise, he would have no way of becoming a sovereign either.


    But Star Abyss knew that the soul cultivation formula that Ye Yuan was imparting him would surely be extraordinary!


    At least, with his present strength and status, it was impossible to get!


    Star Abyss never dreamt that Ye Yuan''s recompense would actually be so generous!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "This soul cultivation formula is called Heavenly Luo Soul Refining Art; it is a Tier 9 cultivation method."


    "T-Tier 9 cultivation method!"


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan would not take some common ware to fool him, when he heard ''Tier 9 cultivation method'' these several words, Star Abyss''s heart still failed to live up to his expectations and pounded fiercely!

 413 Mounting the Stage in Full Regalia!

    "The Heavenly Luo Soul Refining Art is just an ordinary Tier 9 cultivation method. It can at most support your cultivation to the Alchemy Emperor Realm, not much of a big deal. But with your present realm, it''s more than plenty."


    To Ye Yuan, Tier 9 cultivation methods were really no big deal.


    In Ye Yuan''s brain, there were as many as over a dozen Tier 9 cultivation methods. The Heavenly Luo Soul Refining Art was just an inconspicuous one.


    Similarly, a Tier 9 cultivation method, the Heavenly Luo Soul Refining Art was way lousier than the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation


    One had to know that the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation was the cultivation method that supported Ji Zhengyang and Ji Qingyun to the peak Alchemy Emperor Realm; it was an absolutely a top-grade among top grades.


    In his previous life and this life, Ye Yuan only imparted this cultivation method to his father, Ye Hang. Even Li Daohang this half a disciple, Ye Yuan did not easily impart it too.


    "T-Thank you for Senior''s great grace!" Star Abyss was overwhelmed by emotions and gave thanks.


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said, "Disregarding that you''ve rendered such a great help to me, just the fact that you''re Li Daohang that boy''s disciple, imparting you a soul formula isn''t something of a big deal either. It''s just that this life . . . I also don''t know if I''ll have the opportunity to make up for it."


    Towards this sort of topic, Star Abyss felt unable to interject a single word in. He could only remain silent by the side.


    Ye Yuan imparted the Heavenly Luo Soul Refining Technique to Star Abyss; he no longer doubted Ye Yuan''s identity.


    How could a Crystal Formation Realm boy possibly know a Tier 9 cultivation method!


    This was a Tier 9 cultivation method!


    To Lower Realm martial artists, Tier 9 cultivation methods were paramount existences!


    Deity Realm? What did that have to do with Lower Realm martial artists?


    . . . . . .


    Two days later, at the largest plaza in the capital, the Wind Emperor Plaza.


    Perhaps the Xiao Family was not some peak major family clan, but as one of the capital''s two absolute beauties, Xiao Ruyan was practically a household name!


    Her spouse finding martial competition was naturally also the focus of everyone!


    At this moment, the Wind Emperor Plaza was swarming with people. It was virtually the situation of watertight.


    The Xiao Family completely did not anticipate such a spectacle.


    The spouse finding martial competition had already been in progress for several months now. The martial artists who met the requirement already reached the tens of thousands.


    Among these people, the vast majority were actually just in order to make a name for themselves.


    Because everyone in the world knew that this spouse finding martial competition match was carried out for the two Huang and Xue families,


    And the Huang Family''s Huang Wenqiu and the Xue Family''s Xue Zaihe were practically the cream of the crop of the Fierce Gale World''s junior generation. Under the circumstances where the other two great experts in the capital were absent, they virtually had victory in their grasp already!


    To the two Huang and Xue families, the Xiao Family was indeed not considered much. But to the tens of thousands of martial artists in the world, the Xiao Family was an exceedingly powerful existence.


    To martial artists of the junior generation, to be able to bring back the beauty and enter the Xiao Family, this temptation was seriously too great!


    Hence, even if everyone knew that there was no chance of success this time, the youngsters who registered were still bursting at the seams.


    In the center of the Wind Emperor Plaza, a high stage was established.


    The high stage was already fully occupied by eminent guests. Among them included the various large family''s upper echelons, as well as the distinguished members of the junior generation; both Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe were shockingly there.


    It was also uncertain whether it was deliberate or unintentional that these two leaders of the young generation sat together.


    The arena match had yet to begin, and the smell of gunpowder between the two became heavy!


    "Xue Zaihe, I urge you to better find a reason to withdraw now. After today, the capital won''t have whatever juxtaposed number two experts anymore." Huang Wenqiu''s words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.


    But when Xue Zaihe heard that, he just smiled faintly and said, "Haha, I think so too! Two number two experts, don''t you feel that it''s too many?"


    Huang Wenqiu''s face darkened, and he said, "Looks like you refuse to give up until all hope is lost! Fine! Today, I''ll let you have a taste of defeat and know what is called heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people!"


    Xiao Changfeng sat not far away from the two. Towards the dispute between these two people, he was deeply aware. He immediately smiled and said, "Two honorable nephews don''t need to be like this. You two are the capital''s top people and are bound to surpass us old fellows in the future. Today is just a martial competition to find a spouse, not some family clan''s desperate fight. Both of you mustn''t hurt your friendly relations because of this."


    These words sounded like mediating between fights, but recalling it carefully, it was always somewhat wrong.


    The two people''s shrewdness were still shallow after all. Seeing that Xiao Changfeng spoke, Huang Wenqiu took the lead to express his attitude, saying, "Father-in-law, have a seat for a moment. After Wenqiu sweeps away these stinky salted fish, I''ll come and marry Ruyan tomorrow!"


    Xue Zaihe sneered and said, "With the likes of you? Pass through my hurdle first before talking!"


    The two people chimed in one after another. Not only did Xiao Changfeng''s words not placid the two people, but it also intensified the situation instead.


    Right at this time, only to hear Tong Suan shout in a clear voice, "Shangguan Family Head, Shangguan Yi has arrived . . . His Highness, Seventh Prince, has arrived . . ."


    When his voice landed, the plaza instantly became much quieter.


    Shangguan Family Head, Shangguan Yi, slowly entered the high stage. Xiao Changfeng hastily got up to welcome.


    Behind Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Lingyun and Shangguan Lingxue followed closely behind.


    "Brother Shangguan and Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, personally made an appearance. It really graces the Xiao Family with your presence!" Xiao Changfeng hurriedly said.


    Shangguan Yi said coolly, "Haha, Family Head Xiao is too courteous. Family Head Xiao gave birth to a fine daughter. But today, she''s going to be a fish leaping over the dragon''s gate!"


    Xiao Changfeng took a look at Seventh Prince behind Shangguan Lingxue and said smilingly, "Not at all. To talk about fish leaping over the dragon''s gate, it should be Brother Shangguan! Has Your Highness, Seventh Prince, been well?"


    Xiao Changfeng greeted Zhao Chenggan again.


    Zhao Chenggan''s expression was cold but was clearly very sensitive to Xiao Changfeng''s words. He said with a smile, "These words from Family Head Xiao leaves Chenggan abashed!"


    Xiao Changfeng had an awkward look as he said, "Haha, Your Highness, Seventh Prince, is a man bestowed with great responsibility. Past matters, I can only impel Your Highness to scale new heights and not mention them!"


    Zhao Chenggan nodded slightly and said, "Haha, grateful for Family Head Xiao''s auspicious words."


    "Haha, everyone, please take your seats!" Xiao Changfeng said with a laugh.


    These few words sounded simple, but they crossed swords multiple times in secret.


    The Xiao Family could not shake off relations with Ye Yuan after all. The seventh prince becoming such a huge joke, Xiao Changfeng was naturally quite awkward.


    Zhao Chenggan''s words had a concealed blade too. But it was also skated over by a few sentences of Xiao Changfeng''s flattery; it was also considered to have passed the round.


    Regarding Zhao Chenggan, nobody dared to overlook him.


    Zhao Chenggan''s heart was poured on Shangguan Lingxue. Xiao Changfeng was naturally well aware. Those words earlier were also considered to have smoothed things over.


    Right at this moment, Tong Suan suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Under Sovereign Star Abyss, Shi Haoran has turned up with his seven fellow apprentices!"


    The excitement in Tong Suan''s words could not be concealed no matter what.


    And when his word left his mouth, the tens of thousands of people present were all taken aback with shock!


    Sovereign Star Abyss''s eight great disciples all attended at the same time. What kind of face was this?!

 414 Heroes Gather!

    "Family Head Xiao, this Shi wish you good luck in choosing a splendid son-in-law today!" Shi Haoran said with clasped hands.


    Although Shi Haoran did not come out independently and was just a disciple under Star Abyss, nobody dared to overlook his Alchemy King strength.


    Putting aside Star Abyss, Shi Haoran''s strength among the Alchemy Kings in the entire capital could also enter the top five!


    Even those veteran Alchemy Kings like Yang Xiu did not dare to say that they could guarantee a win against Shi Haoran in alchemy.


    Therefore, Shi Haoran''s position in the capital''s alchemy scene was actually very aloof!


    Him coming by himself already gave the Xiao Family sufficient face. Now that he led his seven juniors here together, it could be seen just how astounding this scene was!


    "The Xiao Family has such immense face! Alchemy King Shi generally don''t make an appearance in public activities. Today, he actually made an exception and arrived here. It''s truly out of the blue!"


    "Hehe, did you guys hear? Xiao Ruyan''s relationship with Alchemy King Shi''s little junior brother, who is Ji Qing, is not shallow! This time, Alchemy King Shi most likely came to escort his little junior brother!"


    "There''s such a thing? But with that Ji Qing''s strength, he probably can''t get on the stage at all, right? What''s being competed today isn''t alchemy but real swords and genuine spears; it''s about martial strength! He, a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, simply doesn''t have a chance, right?"


    "Haha, there''s no way of knowing that! However . . . Sovereign Star Abyss''s eight great disciples came as a group. No matter how one looks at it, it''s somewhat unusual! En? That . . . That . . ."


    "What is it?"


    "Wasn''t that Ji Qing Second Level Crystal Formation Realm? How long has it been? Why is he already Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm? What in the world happened?"


    "This . . . "


    Many people discovered Ye Yuan''s transformation and were unbelievably shocked!


    If, say, the Grand Pill assembly did not stir up much of a wave a month back, then the matter of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Chenggan, bearing a rod to ask for punishment already let everyone in the capital get to know Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s realm was naturally discussed by meddlesome people long ago.


    Yet, a month of not seeing him, Ye Yuan actually broke through five realms in succession. This was seriously too inconceivable!


    Xiao Changfeng laughed loudly and said, "Then, I''ll have to thank Alchemy King Shi for your blessings! Haha!"


    The two people exchanged glances and burst into laughter once again.


    "Alchemy King Shi and fellow masters, please, take your seats!"


    From Xiao Changfeng''s mouth, Shi Haoran''s juniors all became masters. This naturally included Ye Yuan too.


    Right after taking his seat, Ye Yuan felt multiple glances looking towards him. One of the gazes was very resentful. Who could it be except Zhao Chenggan?


    The matter of the sanction was already over. The main army already set off. Zhao Chenggan no longer had a need to suppress his anger anymore.


    The entire city knew that he hated Ye Yuan to the bone. This sort of thing did not need to be concealed, and it could not be masked as well.


    Of course, as long as it was within the capital, he truly did not dare to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Not that he really dreaded that day''s promise, what he feared was the Star Abyss behind Ye Yuan.


    That old fellow''s influence was too great!


    But Zhao Chenggan clearly already noticed that Ye Yuan broke through five realms consecutively. Apart from hatred in both eyes, there was even deep trepidation!


    There was another person sizing up Ye Yuan with thick curiosity.


    Seeing Ye Yuan look over, that person gave Ye Yuan a faint smile. Ye Yuan similarly responded with a smile.


    "That person is the Shangguan Lingyun who is on par with His Highness, the Seventh Prince. The position of Wind Emperor is only passed to the strongest person. Hence, the Seventh Prince''s great opponent is him!" said Shi haoran by the side.


    Ye Yuan asked in surprise, "Seventh Prince isn''t the first person in the line of succession?"


    Shi Haoran smiled and said, "If Shangguan Lingyun breaks through to the Boundless Realm, even if the Wind Emperor passed his position to the Seventh Prince, it will also make no difference to the matter, isn''t it so?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and nodded, saying, "It''s indeed this logic. But . . . the Wind Emperor can suppress the Shangguan Family and not let them rise up!"


    Shi Haoran shook his head and said, "The reason why the Wind Emperor''s position is stable is not just because he''s the only Boundless Realm powerhouse, but because he can maintain the capital''s stability. The first-rate families all practically has sovereign level powerhouses existing. Once the Wind Emperor deliberately suppresses a family, the capital will no longer know peace. The Wind Emperor ultimately has to ascend to the Divine Realm. If he incurred public indignant, his family clan will eventually be replaced or even exterminated!"


    Ye Yuan said with a realization, "So that''s the case. Looks like even invincible existences also have many things to take into consideration."


    "Haha, that''s natural! In this world, where are there invincible people? Even more powerful people have their soft spots. It''s just whether or not others can discover and make use of them. Oh, right, this Shangguan Family is the previous Wind Emperor''s family clan," Shi Haoran said with a smile.


    "No wonder the Shangguan Family is so strong! Sigh. Similarly one of the capital''s dual absolute beauties, that Shangguan Lingxue is much luckier, unlike Xiao Ruyan with no command over herself," Ye Yuan said in amazement.


    Speaking of which, Ye Yuan still had to give thanks to this other beauty to be able to enter the capital. It was just that this Shangguan Lingxue walked too closely with Zhao Chenggan and naturally kept Ye Yuan at a distance.


    "Similar people, different fate. No matter how heaven-defying a person is, they are also unable to choose their parents. Xiao Ruyan''s greatest misfortune was being born in the Xiao Family. But . . . her greatest fortune was meeting you! Haha!" Shi Haoran said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan unwittingly rolled his eyes. This eldest senior brother was at it again . . .


    "Eldest Senior Brother has such faith in me?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "If it were before, I would really not have much faith in you. But since master has such faith in you, I naturally believe his judgment too!" Shi Haoran said confidently.


    "En? How so?"


    Shi Haoran gave Ye Yuan a faint smile and explained it.


    Turned out that after Ye Yuan left Star Abyss''s place that day, Shi Haoran went to find Star Abyss to express his concern about Ye Yuan''s rapid breakthrough.


    But Star Abyss just said indifferently, "Your little junior brother''s talent is extraordinary. It''s just breaking through five realms; there''s no need to make such a fuss. That spouse finding martial competition, you accompany him and walk around. Don''t let people hurt him and just bring him back safe and sound."


    Very clearly, Star Abyss was brimming with confidence in Ye Yuan. Making him accompany Ye Yuan here was also just for the sake of preventing accidents from happening.


    "Haha, Little Junior Brother just need to care about letting yourself go. With me around, nobody dares to do anything to you!" Shi Haoran was also full of confidence in himself.


    "Haha, with these words from Eldest Senior Brother, I can rest at ease!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Right at this time, Xiao Changfeng came to the center of the platform, and he mustered up essence energy to cry out, "Today, is the red-letter day of my little girl''s spouse finding competition! This Xiao did not think beforehand that there would actually be so many people coming here to rally! This Xiao thanks everybody here and now!"


    "Family Head Xiao, enough with this. Let Miss Ruyan come out and let us broaden our horizons!"


    "Family Head Xiao, I''m Miss Ruyan''s loyal fan. My worship of her flows unceasingly!"


    "Yeah! This spouse finding competition, you got to let us see what the bride looks like, right?"


    For a moment, there was a hubbub of voices below the platform, causing a huge din. Evidently, everyone wished to witness the elegant demeanor of one of the capital''s dual absolutes.


    Xiao Changfeng smiled and said, "Everyone, hold your horses. My girl will be out right away."

 415 Battle All the Heroes Under the Heavens for You!

    As he spoke, a maidservant supporting a lithe and graceful figure came from the backstage.


    Xiao Ruyan was dressed in full red phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, looking like a heavenly maiden descending to the world.


    But sadly, a red bridal veil was on her head, and there was no way of witnessing her true appearance.


    But Ye Yuan could sense that behind that red bridal veil was definitely a face beautiful until it made people unable to extradite themselves.


    Whoever who could take off this red veil today would absolutely be the luckiest man in the world!


    "What the hell! We want to see the real person!"


    "Yeah! If we don''t see Miss Ruyan''s face, how do we know if that''s the actual person? What will we do if you get a fake one to hoodwink us?"


    "Quickly take off the head veil! Quickly take off the head veil!"


    Seeing that Xiao Ruyan actually covered her face and came out, everyone immediately became indignant and exploded.


    Xiao Changfeng said in a solemn voice, "Harrumph! Although the Xiao Family isn''t a first-rate family, we''re a respected family clan in the capital. There are so many people present here today. How could this Xiao crack such a joke? Gentleman, anyone who doesn''t wish to take part in this spouse finding martial competition can very well leave right now!"


    Seeing Xiao Changfeng fly off his handle, the martial artists present all remain silent. Offending their future father-in-law was not some wise move.


    Huang Wenqiu sneered when he saw the situation and said, "Just these trashes are also worthy of witnessing Miss Ruyan''s unrivaled looks? Truly toads lusting after a swan''s flesh!"


    "Heh heh, aren''t you one of the toads? What qualifications do you have to mock them?" Xue Zaihe said with a cold laugh.


    "Xue Zaihe, are you provoking me here? Humph! Flaunting eloquence! You''ll get it in a while!" Huang Wenqiu similarly said with a cold laugh.


    "Haha, today, I''m definitely marrying Miss Ruyan! Whoever dares to stop me, I''ll step over his corpse!'' Xue Zaihe said nonchalantly with a smile, but the words he said made people''s hair stand on its ends.


    The spouse finding competition had yet to start, but the smell of gunpowder already gradually becoming intense.


    "Ruyan, you go and sit properly at one side," Xiao Changfeng said to Xiao Ruyan.


    Xiao Ruyan nodded slightly and went to one side to sit down.


    Her position was very eye-catching. The entire plaza could see it.


    And as luck would have it, the place Ye Yuan was sitting at was the closest to her among the guests. It was also unknown if it was coincidental or Xiao Changfeng''s deliberate arrangements.


    Xiao Changfeng watched Xiao Ruyan sit down, but he took a very meaningful glance at Ye Yuan as if he had already internally decided that Ye Yuan was his son-in-law without officially announcing it.


    Xiao Changfeng''s eyes made Ye Yuan involuntarily feel a chill. But how could Ye Yuan not know Xiao Changfeng''s plan?


    It was just that . . . today''s outcome would probably disappoint him.


    "The spouse finding martial competition today doesn''t have any special rules. One just has to win on the platform in the end, and that will do! But once you step onto the platform, you''ll be responsible for your life and death. On this point, you all already signed the life and death agreement when you registered! The Xiao Family won''t force any one onto the platform. All of you can still back out now. This Xiao gives a word of advice here: young martial artists whose strength hasn''t reached Sea Transformation Realm, they better not go onto the stage. Cultivation isn''t easy. Why should a man worry about having no wife? Don''t err today!" Xiao Changfeng said.


    One had to say that this speech from Xiao Changfeng was still very useful. It was akin to a tub of cold water, splashing some people awake.


    Life or death on the stage was one''s own responsibility. If one died, then they died. Nobody would pity you!


    And this spouse finding competition had two final malefic stars waiting there!


    Snatching wives from those two malefic stars, the final outcome completely did not need much thinking. Those two people would definitely deal a killing blow!


    Hence, one had to properly deliberate on whether to get on stage or not.


    But . . . Xiao Ruyan''s reputation in the capital was seriously too great!


    Before this, there were already all sorts of editions of Xiao Ruyan''s portrait secretly leaking out. Although those drawings all differed from one another, they all had one distinguishing feature: she was overwhelmingly stunning!


    Adding the Xiao Family''s position in the capital, the vast majority of these martial artists was still like being on stimulants.


    Especially those martial artists below the age of thirty and had reached Sea Transformation Realm cultivation. How could they be willing to yield without giving it a shot?


    "Now, the spouse finding martial competition official begins!" Xiao Changfeng shouted in a clear voice.


    Right at this time, Xiao Ruyan suddenly heard a voice transmission coming from Ye Yuan. "Good Disciple, you''re the first disciple that master took in! Today, Master will battle all the heroes under the heavens for you! Treat it as a first-meeting gift for you, Disciple!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan left, gliding on air, and landed on the platform!


    With her face covered, nobody could see Xiao Ruyan''s expression. But her body started quivering lightly.


    "En? What''s happening? Who is that?"


    "You don''t even recognize him? Did you forget that His Highness, the Seventh Prince, previously kneeled down before him to admit his fault a month ago?!"


    "What?! He''s Ji Qing? What''s he doing here?"


    "Are you a pig?! Him coming out like this, of course he''s taking part in the spouse finding martial competition!"


    "Bullshit. Of course I know that he''s participating in the spouse finding martial competition. But, he''s only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. Isn''t this courting death?"


    "Heh heh, I heard that this Ji Qing''s alchemy skills have already reached the realm of perfection, utterly destroying Tong Wenchang in the two Xiao and Tong family''s Grand Pill Assembly! But who knew that he even has such confidence in his Martial Path!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance caused a huge commotion!


    Xiao Changfeng had yet to withdraw. When he saw this move from Ye Yuan, his complexion could not help turning livid.


    This spouse finding martial competition today had no rules at all. One just had to defeat their opponent, and that would do!


    And the youths present here today that satisfied the conditions. There were also 8 thousand, if not 10 thousand youths! Furthermore, those who dared to register, which one of them wasn''t an expert?


    The first martial artist that came onto the stage was at the greatest disadvantage!


    What he had to face was the non-stop battle against all the martial artists present!


    One person against 10 thousand people?


    You got to be kidding!


    Xiao Changfeng wished that he could let loose a torrent of abuse: If you don''t want to marry my daughter, you don''t need to use such a method to reject either!


    What the hell was this?


    Forget that Ye Yuan was only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, even Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan who were hailed as the number one among the capital''s younger generation probably did not dare to be the first on stage in such a situation, right?


    So many martial artists, by dawdling, it would exhaust them to death!


    The first one on stage clearly did not wish to marry Xiao Ruyan!


    Daughter must be very furious right now, yeah?


    Xiao Changfeng looked over in Xiao Ruyan direction. Indeed, he saw that his daughter''s body was trembling lightly, hatred seething in his heart!


    Xiao Ruyan marrying Ji Qing was undoubtedly the best choice. But this fellow actually stood Ruyan up!


    "Hahaha! Turns out that this boy is a moron! To actually be the first one to rush up to the stage! Who does he think he is? His Majesty, the Wind Emperor? Can it be that he wants to sweep away 10 thousand martial artists alone?"


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Chenggan really could not hold back and started mocking loudly.


    "Your Highness, since this punk is seeking death himself, then let''s not be courteous! Haha! Wait until he''s completely worn out, I''ll go up on your behalf to take care of him properly!" Huang Wenqiu said with a laugh.


    Huang Wenqiu''s words incurred a wave of contempt. This flattery was also too lacking standards!


    But Zhao Chenggan did not laugh anymore after he heard it; his eyes flickering instead. No one knew what he was thinking about.

 416 Shocking All Present!

    Disregarding Zhao Chenggan and the rest, even Shi Haoran and the other seniors were also at a loss on what to do after being caught by Ye Yuan''s sudden ambush.


    "No way, right? What is Little Junior Brother trying to do here? Isn''t the first one on the stage too risky?" You Guang said with a frown.


    "That''s right! Isn''t this messing around? Can it be that he wants to challenge 10 thousand martial artists with his own strength?" Tang Zhi also felt mindblown as he spoke.


    But Shi Haoran sighed and said, "Little Junior Brother tends to exceed all expectations when doing things; his behavior is not what we can guess. Him doing so should have a deep meaning. We should just watch."


    For a moment, the sounds of ridicule linked together; all saying that Ye Yuan overrated his own strength.


    Indeed, not long after, a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist jumped into the platform, cupping his fists as he said, "I''m Wang Jie. I specially came to challenge Young Master Ji!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Please!"


    The other party was courteous. Ye Yuan naturally would not put on a scowl.


    But he would not be courteous when making a move.


    Wang Jie knew that since this Ji Qing dared to be the first one on the stage, he definitely had some skill. But by relying on him being two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan, he was not too worried either.


    His hand suddenly had an spirit artifact longsword. He then cried out, "Shadowless Sword Art!"


    Wang Jie''s figure charged abruptly, stabbing towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed!


    This Shadowless Sword Art had lived up to its reputation.


    It was just that . . . who he encountered was Ye Yuan!


    "Argh!"


    The audience was just planning on watching an intense battle when a miserable cry suddenly sounded out. Wang Jie directly tumbled heavily onto the ground!


    Wang Jie''s speed was seriously too fast. Initially, some martial artists with slightly weaker strength already could not catch Wang Jie''s form.


    At this instant, it was like they saw Wang Jie fall down out of thin air; it was very bizarre.


    "This . . . What happened?"


    "I don''t know either! Ji Qing is clearly standing there motionlessly! Could it be that this Wang Jie was being funny and fell down himself?"


    "Being funny? You''re the one being funny, right? Showing the lower limits of his intelligence in front of so many people? Not unless this Wang Jie''s brain is damaged!"


    "But . . . Ji Qing clearly didn''t move! Could it be that his movements were too fast and we all didn''t see clearly?"


    "No! He really didn''t move!" All of a sudden, a gray-robed youth suddenly spoke.


    Those two people thought nothing of it either and asked curiously, "What''s going on?"


    "It''s divine soul attack! This Ji Qing''s soul art is so powerful!" the youth said solemnly.


    Marveling sighs suddenly sounded out all around!


    It was actually an extremely rare divine soul attack. This kind of method to Fierce Gale World martial artists was seriously too abnormal!


    The Fierce Gale World martial artists'' martial era was extremely flourishing. They all pursued the extremities of essence energy and concepts. Yet, very few people would use divine soul mystic arts to execute divine soul attacks.


    This aspect was the shortcoming of virtually all the Fierce Gale World martial artists!


    Right at this time, that Wang Jie slowly struggled to his feet on the platform and clasped his hands towards Ye Yuan, saying, "Many thanks to Brother Ji for showing mercy! Wang Jie is utterly convinced with my loss!"


    Wang Jie speed was indeed very quick. Even if Ye Yuan used a divine soul attack, wanting to accurately hit him was not something easy too.


    But during the process that Wang Jie was in motion, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his brain, and then he fell down. It could be seen how powerful Ye Yuan''s divine soul attack was!


    Furthermore, Wang Jie deeply sensed that Ye Yuan''s blow just now completely did not use full strength. Otherwise, he might already be an idiot now!


    If he did not know what was good for himself and made a move against Ye Yuan again, it would probably not be as simple as a sharp pain anymore.


    Hence, he conceded very straightforwardly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your speed is pretty good. But what Sword Dao pursues isn''t the extremities of speed. You . . . took a wrong turn."


    Wang Jie''s entire body shuddered as if he understood something. He bowed towards Ye Yuan and said, "Thank you very much for Brother Ji''s guidance! This Wang will never forget it!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and accepted it coolly.


    In Sword Dao, it was not over the top for Ye Yuan to say that he was the number one in the Lower Realms. His pointers, Wang Jie naturally received endless benefit.


    Ye Yuan saw through the drawbacks of this Shadowless Sword Art that Wang Jie cultivated at a glance and pointed it out.


    Training the sword, pursuing speed was correct. But speed was not the only thing.


    The sword was the gentleman among weapons. It strived for agile and grace, power and magnificence.


    Pursuing speed blindly would forfeit the fundamentals of the sword. Ultimately, one''s accomplishments would be limited.


    One sentence from Ye Yuan let Wang Jie walked countless lesser detours. Receiving a bow from him was naturally nothing inappropriate.


    In truth, Wang Jie only came out to travel the world after reaching a bottleneck state in his cultivation in concepts, seeking a chance to break through.


    Encountering the Xiao Family''s spouse finding martial competition this time, he did not come here for Xiao Ruyan but wanted to find opportunities to compete with young experts.


    He did not have any qualms, so he was the first enter the stage and was very polite to Ye Yuan.


    It was just that he did not expect Ye Yuan to see through the problem with his sword art in one glance and pointing it out.


    His gratitude towards Ye Yuan naturally could not be any greater!


    "Humph! Unorthodox paths ultimately can''t ascend to the higher levels!" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold smile.


    But Shangguan Lingyun had a rare laugh as he said, "My view differs from Brother Zhao. That attack from Ji Qing earlier was no trifling thing. It could be seen that his attainments in the divine soul are extremely profound. The divine soul cultivated to an exceedingly high realm can similarly compete with martial artists!"


    "He also has to cultivate to an exceedingly high realm for it to work! He merely encountered a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist this time. When he meets Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, I''ll see how he executes his divine soul attacks!" Zhao Chenggan said in annoyance.


    This time, Shangguan Lingyun did not refute. He knew that what Zhao Chenggan said was right.


    While divine soul attacks were bizarre and powerful, once one guarded to some extent, it was very hard to succeed.


    Moreover, for divine soul attacks to want to leap ranks to battle, the difficulty was even greater compared to martial artists!


    While the divine soul for Sea Transformation Realms did not produce qualitative changes, it was still much stronger compared to Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    Ye Yuan''s advantage could at most just reflect among Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    This spouse finding martial competition ultimately needed to rely on genuine martial strength to determine victory.


    If what this Ji Qing relied on was just divine soul attacks, he could not last for very long.


    "Big Brother, if it were you, can you block his divine soul attack?" Shangguan Lingxue asked curiously.


    "This . . . If I went up earlier, I might also suffer a huge loss. But now, the one who''s at a disadvantage should be him." Shangguan Lingyun mused for a moment and replied.


    Shangguan Lingxue said in astonishment, "His divine soul attack is actually so powerful?"


    When Zhao Chenggan saw Shangguan Lingxue praise Ye Yuan, he was very displeased in his heart as he said, "What''s powerful about it? It''s just a cheap ambushing trick! This kind of methods are extremely few, so everybody was unprepared. Once they are on guard, it''s practically equivalent to being useless. I want to see how he plans on coping at the back!"


    Shangguan Lingxue giggled as she said, "Last time, although Ji Qing was nearly killed by you, he was only at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm at that time. It could be seen that he''s also extremely formidable in martial strength! Now that he''s already Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, his combat strength most likely already approaches Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. It probably isn''t so easy for the average person to want to win him, right?"

 417 Nobody Dares to Go Up!

    Zhao Chenggan''s face became as black as the bottom of a pot. But he had no choice but to admit that what Shangguan Lingyun said was completely correct.


    In comparison to himself, apart from Ye Yuan''s realm being far lacking, he was simply powerful until he had no weakness to exploit!


    Zhao Chenggan could not quite dare to imagine if Ye Yuan and his realm were on par, what would the result of their battle be?


    If he let Ye Yuan continue maturing like this, that day might arrive very soon!


    Zhao Chenggan started to consider the idea and involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan on the stage.


    . . . . . .


    "Who else?" Ye Yuan looked steadily ahead as he said nonchalantly.


    Ye Yuan''s move against Wang Jie already suppressed many people. At the very least, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would not dare to easily enter the stage.


    Without even moving and instantly defeating Wang Jie this Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm. Wasn''t going up there looking for a thrashing?


    "I''ll go!"


    Right at this time, a well-built burly man dashed onto the platform.


    "Please!" Ye Yuan still did an inviting hand gesture.


    "Heh heh, your divine soul attack might perhaps be of some use against Crystal Formation Realm martial artists. But under my countermeasure in advance, it''s already useless!" said the burly man with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly, and he said, "Is that so?"


    When the burly man saw Ye Yuan''s nonchalant look, he could not help becoming enraged!


    "Courting death!" The burly man dashed in front of Ye Yuan with a sudden huge stride.


    Despite his stature being extremely tall and strong; very cumbersome, this move was exceptionally vigorous!


    His speed was much faster compared to Wang Jie.


    An enormous fist smashed down towards Ye Yuan''s head!


    However . . . only to hear a bang. The burly man collapsed with a loud bang, crashing downward until the stage quaked.


    Ye Yuan still did not move!


    "This . . . This was a divine soul attack again? This burly man is a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist! Furthermore . . . he even said that he took precautions . . ."


    "Too scary! This Ji Qing''s divine soul attack is too scary! Even a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist can''t force him to make a move?"


    "Make a move? Make a move for what? This divine soul attack of this completely doesn''t need to make a move, alright?"


    "What kind of divine soul attack did Ji Qing use? To actually be able to leap ranks and defeat a Sea Transformation Realm expert! This is too inconceivable!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan did not use some profound divine soul mystic art. It was still the God Stunning Spike.


    Using divine soul attacks to cross ranks and battle might perhaps be beset with difficulties for others, but to him, it was as simple as drinking water.


    Ye Yuan''s present divine soul realm already reached the Alchemy Grandmaster Perfection Realm!


    Same as Alchemy Master, his present perfection was completely different from his previous life''s perfection.


    In truth, his current divine soul was already not much weaker than Sea Transformation Realm.


    Using divine soul mystic arts to deal with Sea Transformation Realm martial artists was not some impressive matter.


    With Ye Yuan''s attainments in the divine soul, under the circumstances where the divine soul realm was roughly the same, even if the other party took precautions, so what?


    The Xiao Family''s judge still stood there looking left and right, uncertain if this burly man would stand up again.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop looking. He''s not getting up. Drag him away."


    "Ah? Oh, oh. Come men, drag this person down!" said the judge absentmindedly.


    Seeing that burly man fall to the ground, Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingyun all revealed astonished looks.


    Especially Zhao Chenggan who already did not know what to say.


    He had just said that Ye Yuan could not do anything to Sea Transformation Realms. The result was that the well-built burly man collapsed with a crash.


    Shangguan Lingyun smiled wryly when he saw the situation and said, "Looks like we still underestimated Brother Ji. His divine soul attack already has the capital to clash head-on with Sea Transformation Realm martial artists!"


    The Sea Transformation Realm that Shangguan Lingyun was talking about was naturally not that sort of rookie like the burly man.


    Although martial artists did not cultivate the divine soul, they should have methods to protect the divine soul.


    This burly man said verbally that he took precautions, but in truth, his precautions completely could not withstand a single blow. If it were Shangguan Lingyun, his defense would absolutely not be that easy to break through.


    Rather, Shangguan Lingxue suddenly became mischievous and said to Zhao Chenggan with a smile, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, why don''t you make a guess whether or not the next Sea Transformation Realm that enters the stage will be defeated by Ji Qing in a single blow?"


    Zhao Chenggan gave a cold snort and said, "I don''t believe that he can keep winning all the way by relying on this one move!"


    . . . . . .


    Cleaning things ups, Ye Yuan said indifferently again, "Is there anyone else coming up?"


    One had to acknowledge that this spouse finding martial competition gathered many young geniuses. There were a great number of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists present. That burly man was only one of the weakest.


    To be able to advance to Sea Transformation Realm before 30, this was already an extremely proud achievement.


    Therefore, these martial artists were all very confident in themselves. Even if that burly man collapsed instantaneously, they did not believe that Ye Yuan could take them down either!


    But the result was that the next few Sea Transformation Realms that went up were all brought down by Ye Yuan in one move without a single exception!


    From beginning to end, Ye Yuan did not move a single finger!


    And the strongest among these martial artists were already Third Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    After they collapsed, nobody dared to go up the stage again.


    For some time, the audience below the stage all exchanged glances with each other. There was actually nobody who dared to go up the stage!


    Even a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm could not survive one move under Ye Yuan''s hands. How to fight?


    "This Ji Qing is simply too monstrous; he is eating his fill with one specialty! A method like this, if there isn''t a powerful divine soul mystic art to protect the divine soul, who dares to go and fight with him?"


    "That''s right. This is freaking bullying people! I feel that in front of Ji Qing, these past 30 years of cultivation were all wasted on a dog''s body! Other people don''t even need a second to make you fall!"


    "So, alchemists can be powerful to this sort of extent. Truly widened my knowledge! I really want to see now, whether Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe can force Ye Yuan to make a move or not!"


    "Only now do I know where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from! Everybody was mocking him at the beginning. Now, it looks like we were the fools! With strength like his, so what if he is the first one on stage?"


    Below the stage was widespread comments. Clearly, many people already directly gave up on going up the stage.


    At least for the Early Stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, nobody dared to go up anymore.


    Xiao Changfeng only knew that his understanding of Ye Yuan was still too little when he saw this scene!


    This young man was truly unfathomable, making people pleasantly surprised unceasingly.


    "Young Master Ji already defeated seven people consecutively. Is there anyone else going up the stage to challenge? If there isn''t, I''m going to announce the results!" shouted the judge in a clear voice.


    The audience below the stage all looked at each other. Nobody dared to go up the stage.


    "Since that''s the case, I announce . . ."


    Huang Wenqiu could not sit still anymore. Although this Ji Qing was very strange, he could not possibly withdraw without fighting.


    Moreover, he was different from those rookies. He was confident that he could block Ye Yuan''s divine soul attack.


    Huang Wenqiu was just about to stand up when he heard a loud cry.


    "Wait a minute!"


    A gray figure floated up the stage, interrupting the judge''s words.


    ''This one is Xu Qing. I wish to experience Young Master Ji''s divine soul attack!" said the gray shirt youth while clasping his hands together to Ye Yuan.


    This Xu Qing was precisely the first one previously to perceive that Ye Yuan was attacking with divine soul attacks!

 418 Worn Out!

    "Who is this young man? His age doesn''t seem to be old either. Pretty gutsy!"


    "That''s right. He''s still only First Level Sea Transformation Realm. To actually dare go up and challenge Ji Qing, isn''t it overestimating his own strength a little?"


    "I think not! This young man''s eyes are radiating light, and he''s full of fighting intent. He doesn''t look like a foolish person. Perhaps he really has some reliance to count on!"


    Xu Qing entering the stage drew considerable attention. The people who went up the stage at the back were all stronger and stronger, such so that it reached the degree of Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    But Xu Qing was only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm. If he did not have some reliance, then he was only a fool.


    Ye Yuan sized up Xu Qing and suddenly smiled and said, "Turns out that it''s a soul martial artist. No wonder you''re so confident."


    Xu Qing''s expression became stern when he heard that and said, "Brother Ji''s discerning eyes are like a torch. Truly incredible! That''s right, I''m indeed a soul martial artist."


    "What? He''s actually a soul martial artist? No wonder he dares to challenge Ji Qing!"


    "There are exceedingly few soul martial artists in our Fierce Gale World. Only Sovereign Xishan alone reached the highest level in this area! It''s just that his elderly self has already vanished for several decades."


    "Ever since Sovereign Xishan, the name of soul martial artist has never been heard of again. To think that another one would appear today! It''s just that who knows how this young man''s strength is. And how it compares to Ji Qing."


    "But speaking of which, Ji Qing can also be considered a soul martial artist already. Except that his alchemist identity made everybody overlook this matter."


    The so-called soul martial artist was actually martial artists who primarily cultivated the divine soul.


    What soul martial artists were skilled in was not martial techniques but divine soul mystic arts. Their means were highly bizarre and powerful.


    Most martial artists cultivated the essence energy system. The execution of martial techniques was also mostly with essence energy as a basis, while soul martial artists'' attack methods relied completely on the divine soul.


    This kind of divine soul attacks was powerful and hard to defend. Furthermore, it was incredibly dangerous.


    Martial artists getting injured was a very normal thing. As long as they did not injure their divine soul, most could heal.


    However, soul martial artists'' attack measures directly affected the divine soul. Once they injured the other party, it would tend to be hard to heal. On the basis that the divine soul was injured, even if they did not die, it would have a tremendous impact on the martial artist''s future cultivation too.


    This was the terrifying aspect of soul martial artist!


    Hence, when Xu Qing admitted that he was a soul martial artist, it stirred quite a commotion.


    Sea Transformation Realm soul martial artists were already very powerful!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You facing off against my Alchemy Grandmaster Realm soul force with Alchemy King Realm soul force, isn''t this somewhat bullying people?"


    Xu Qing''s expression froze, and he forced a laugh, saying, "Don''t joke around, Brother Ji. Just based on the means that you displayed earlier, I don''t have much confidence in winning you. How is this bullying people?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Fine. I''ll witness the methods of a soul martial artist today! Come on!"


    "Here I come!"


    Once Xu Qing''s voice faded, Ye Yuan felt like flying needles that covered the skies pricked towards his divine soul!


    "Manifestation of soul force! Fine technique!" Ye Yuan had a rare bout of amazement.


    This soul force manifestation was totally different from essence energy martial techniques.


    The so-called manifestation was just materializing the attack. The naked eye completely could not see it. It could only be sensed through the divine soul.


    One could say that this was the faceoff between a divine soul and a divine soul!


    An invisible match!


    This showdown was incredibly perilous. But the outside world could not see any storm clouds surging.


    Yet, when those flying needles jabbed deeply into Ye Yuan''s divine soul like this, Ye Yuan actually did not perform the slightest bit of defense!


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes, his face revealing an anguished look, looking very unwell.


    Xu Qing had already made the preparation of an arduous battle. But he did not think that it would actually be such an outcome.


    "You were too careless! The Soul Force Flying Needles'' damage to the divine soul is permanent. Even Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists would also be severely wounded after receiving this attack head-on. You actually did not defend at all! Truly courting death!'' Xu Qing shook his head and was just about to walk down the platform.


    Being struck full-on by this attack of his, Ye Yuan would also be the outcome of heavily injured if not death.


    He only went up the stage to experience Ye Yuan''s means, and not for Xiao Ruyan.


    But Ye Yuan crumbling in one hit disappointed him greatly. Recalling how Ye Yuan swept across Sea Transformation Realm martial artists previously, what he relied on was really one specialty.


    "Leaving like this? You don''t think that you can win like this, right?" Xu Qing was just about to step down from the stage when Ye Yuan''s voice sounded over leisurely.


    Xu Qing''s entire body trembled. Turning around to look at Ye Yuan with incredulity, he exclaimed in shock, "You . . . You''re completely fine? How is this possible?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Trying to defeat me with Soul Force Flying Needles this sort of trifling means, isn''t your distinguished self looking down on me too much? Whatever methods you have, just execute them! Otherwise, once I make a move, you won''t have the opportunity anymore."


    Xu Qing was dazed for a very long time. He seriously could not imagine just what kind of method Ye Yuan used to resolve his Soul Force Flying Needles!


    Ye Yuan''s soul force completely did not have the slightest bit of undulation. Which was also to say that Ye Yuan forcefully received his divine soul attack.


    But . . . completely unscathed?


    Was this a joke?


    "How is this possible? I don''t believe it! Blade Light, Sword Shadows!"


    Xu Qing gritted his teeth and cast a divine soul attack at Ye Yuan once again!


    Yet, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean again. Ye Yuan did not have the appearance of being attacked at all and still stood there looking at him unperturbedly.


    Xu Qing refused to believe in heresy and virtually displayed all of his techniques. Divine soul mystic arts followed one after the other.


    Yet, despite him exhausting all the skills in his arsenal, it still did not cause a hint of damage to Ye Yuan''s divine soul!


    With a crash, Xu Qing tumbled to the ground.


    Xu Qing laid on the ground, his expression wan and sallow. It was clearly the indication of soul force being drained.


    This Xu Qing already wore himself out!


    The astoundment in everyone''s hearts could not be any greater! What was this?


    Wasn''t it said that the divine soul attacks of soul martial artists were incomparably powerful? Why did this Ye Yuan seem to be immune to divine soul attacks?


    "What kind of freak is this Ji Qing?! That soul martial artist used all the skills he learned in his life and actually did not cause any injuries to him at all? This is playing me, right?"


    "Yeah! Back then, Sovereign Xishan was the hardest sovereign level powerhouse to deal with in the capital. The other sovereign level powerhouses were all unwilling to provoke him. It could be seen just how terrifying soul martial artists'' strength is. But this Ji Qing actually did not even move, and his opponent exhausted himself to the extent he collapsed!''


    "Did you all notice that many of the divine soul mystic arts yelled out by Xu Qing were identical with Sovereign Xishan''s divine soul mystic arts back then? Could it be . . ."


    "No way, right?"


    Looking at the laying on the ground and already completely drained Xu Qing, Ye Yuan casually threw out a medicinal pill and said, "Take it. It can help you to recover your soul force."


    Xu Qing received the medicinal pill, hesitated for a moment, but then he still swallowed it.


    Soon, it was as if a timely rain irrigated his divine soul. Xu Qing''s divine soul was in the midst of rapid recovery!


    At this time, Xiao Changfeng suddenly got up and floated down to the platform. He clasped his hands towards Xu Qing and asked, "Could your distinguished self be Senior Xishan''s disciple?"

 419 Absolute Defense!

    Among the crowd, there were two unremarkable women.


    One of them looked at that figure on the platform with scorching eyes. It was also uncertain what she was thinking about.


    The other girl giggled as she transmitted her voice, "Hehe, seeing Mister Ye challenge the heroes under the heaven for Xiao Ruyan, I wonder what are your thoughts, Miss?"


    This girl actually knew Ye Yuan''s true identity. Who could it be but Yan-er?


    There was no need to talk about the other girl. It was naturally Li-er.


    Actually, these few days, they had been inside this capital the entire time. If not for this master and servant pair, Ye Yuan simply would not get to see his fellow apprentices.


    It was precisely because of the protection in the dark from the two of them that let those seniors of Ye Yuan survived safe and sound.


    On that day when Zhao Chenggan carried a rod to ask for punishment, it stirred up the entire capital. Li-er naturally also became aware that Ye Yuan actually quietly sneaked into the capital already.


    Of course, speaking of it, this was not considered quietly either.


    It was just that Li-er did not think that Ye Yuan would be the first to go up the stage today and challenge all the heroes in the world!


    Hearing Yan-er''s secret voice transmission, not knowing why, a hint of billow was produced in Li-er''s heart.


    This was simply an inconceivable matter to her.


    Didn''t Li-er''s heart only move for him?


    What''s with me . . .


    Towards this kind of near betrayal thing, Li-er was obviously unwilling to admit it. "What thoughts can I have? That Xiao Ruyan is known as the capital''s dual absolutes. She''s naturally as beautiful as a heavenly maiden. For Mister Ye to be able to come together in holy matrimony with her, I naturally have to congratulate him."


    Yan-er pouted her mouth and said, "Words don''t match the heart! Although Yan-er isn''t a roundworm in Miss''s stomach, to say who understands Miss best in this world, it has to be Yan-er! Miss painstakingly entered deep into the Fierce Gale World and did so much for Mister Ye. Don''t you have any thoughts about him at all?"


    Li-er was secretly startled, but she refuted, "What kind of thoughts? Don''t you know that this soul ripping illness of mine still has to fall on Mister Ye? I''m doing this just to return him sufficient favor to let him treat me seriously. That''s all."


    Yan-er waved her hands and said, "Alright then, alright then. Regardless of what kind of thoughts you have, it''s also useless. After today, he''ll be somebody with a wife!"


    Not knowing why, when Li-er heard these words, an intense unwillingness welled up in her heart.


    . . . . . .


    On another side, a similarly unremarkable person was staring fixedly at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing immense shock!


    "To think that this punk really sneaked into the capital! Not only did he infiltrate inside the capital, he even became Sovereign Star Abyss''s disciple, and even made an appearance in an imposing manner at such a grand occasion! Truly audacious to the extreme! I was saying why there hasn''t been news about him these two months all along. Turns out that he had long sneaked into the capital! However . . . Heh heh! Your good luck has come to an end today!"


    This person quietly withdrew out of the crowd and ran in the direction of the royal capital!


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize that this person was precisely the Lan Hu who tracked him down here!


    These two months, Lan Hu never left the capital the entire time. Everything comes to him who waits. He finally discovered Ye Yuan''s tracks!


    It was just that Lan Hu never thought that the carrying a rod to ask for punishment a couple of days back which rocked the capital, the target of Seventh Prince''s apology, was actually Ye Yuan!


    . . . . . .


    On the stage, Ye Yuan was utterly clueless about this.


    Xu Qing opposite him already recovered considerable soul force. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Sovereign Xishan . . . is precisely my master! This is this Xu''s first time coming out into the society after completing my studies. I didn''t think that . . . I would actually lose so miserably. Xu Qing''s skills are trivial. I''ve lost face for master today!"


    "He''s indeed Sovereign Xishan''s disciple! Sovereign Xishan has left the capital for so many years. He actually groomed a Sea Transformation Realm disciple!"


    "It''s just that this disciple seems to be somewhat of a failure. He faced the Crystal Formation Realm Ji Qing with Sea Transformation Realm soul force and collapsed from exhaustion without even touching the other party''s fingertips! Truly lost face for Sovereign Xishan!"


    "That''s right! Sovereign Xishan back then was ever triumphant. Even His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, showed him some respect. How high and mighty he was! But the disciple that he taught is actually unskilled to this sort of degree. It''s really a letdown!"


    The fame of Sovereign Xishan was too great. In everyone''s minds, apart from the Wind Emperor, he was the incarnation of invincibility.


    But his disciple actually lost with no part of his body unscathed today!


    Although everyone knew that Ye Yuan was very strong in terms of divine soul attacks. But Sovereign Xishan''s disciple, as a soul martial artist, shouldn''t he be stronger in the divine soul?


    Even if Ye Yuan was very monstrous, it was not to the extent where he would collapse from exhaustion, right?


    This was what they could not understand, nor forgive!


    Xiao Changfeng hearing Xu Qing admit it was also rather surprised in his heart. But verbally, he consoled, saying, "Young Master Xu doesn''t need to blame yourself. It''s not that you''re unskilled, but your opponent was too strong! Today''s loss was not due to lack of skill!"


    Xu Qing asked in surprise, "What does that mean?"


    Xiao Changfeng smiled and said, "Young Master Xu learned from Sovereign Xishan. I wonder if you''ve ever heard of divine soul absolute defense?"


    Xu Qing''s expression changed, and he nearly jumped up. "A-Absolute defense! You''re saying that what Brother Ji used earlier was . . . absolute defense?"


    Xiao Changfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I don''t know either. It''s just that other than absolute defense, I seriously don''t know what other means are there still that can accomplish to such an extent! Only . . . you still have to get a confirmation from Young Master Ji about the answer."


    When Xiao Changfeng guessed this answer, the astonishment in his heart was not any less than Xu Qing''s.


    Divine soul absolute defense. This term was just an existence of the legends. How could it possibly really appear on a human?


    Xiao Changfeng even suspected that this defense method was probably fabricated by somebody, or maybe hypothesized by some genius.


    How could such a perverse defense method possibly exist?


    But today, he really witnessed it!


    The so-called divine soul absolute defense was regardless what kind of divine soul attack the other party executed, as long as it was unable to break through extremum of one''s divine soul, it would have no way of causing damage to them!


    Such a defense measure was simply heaven-defying!


    Xu Qing''s gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Family Head Xiao is indeed experienced and knowledgeable, to actually even know about divine soul absolute defense. That''s right; the measure that this Ji used earlier was precisely divine soul absolute defense."


    The properties of the divine soul were completely different from essence energy. The cultivation system was also entirely different.


    The means of divine soul attacks was likewise ever-changing. But through a deep understanding of the divine soul, one could construct a defense measure that was a hundredfold, a thousandfold stronger than protective essence energy. That was absolute defense!


    Divine soul attacks were invisible and ethereal. It naturally would not have huge destructive power like that.


    The innate attribute of divine soul attacks was still formed using one''s soul force to damage the other party''s divine soul.


    As long as one''s comprehension of the divine soul was sufficiently deep, an absolute defense could theoretically be actualized!


    Of course, even with Ye Yuan''s profound understanding of the divine soul, it also expended a huge amount of time to learn this move in his previous life.


    Xu Qing was only at the Early Stage Sea Transformation Realm; he was not much stronger compared to Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    Wanting to hurt Ye Yuan under his absolute defense was undoubtedly a fool''s talk!

 420 Shameless Non-Stop Battles

    The moment he heard the term absolute defense, Shangguan Lingxue was also extremely shocked.


    "Divine soul absolute defense? Doesn''t that mean that there''s only Ji Qing hitting people, while others can only get hit passively? This move is simply too amazing!"


    Shangguan Lingyun nodded as well and said, "In the past, I only heard of absolute defense and even thought that it was just a rumor. I didn''t think that I would really witness it today! This Ji Qing is truly remarkable!"


    Zhao Chenggan sneered and said, "What absolute defense? He just didn''t encounter experts! As long as soul force is stronger than him, absolute defense would only be a joke!"


    "Is that so? I wonder if there''s anybody among you all that can break this absolute defense?" Shi Haoran suddenly said.


    But Zhao Chenggan was not embarrassed at all. With a haughty look, he said, "Soul martial artists is just a minor path in the end. The martial artist path is the major path! He has absolute defense in terms of divine soul, but I wonder if he can block my Tyrant Martial Howling Cloud Spear?"


    Shi Haoran smiled and said, "That might not be so!"


    Zhao Chenggan laughed when he heard that and said, "Alright, I won''t argue with Alchemy King Shi either. Just suffering a defeat in his hands, I haven''t taken it to heart yet. However . . . he has to pass the rounds with Wenqiu and Zaihe first. The two of them are not simple people."


    Although Zhao Chenggan lost tremendous face previously, his power and influence were still present. The title of number one in the capital was not for show.


    Getting Zhao Chenggan''s approval, Huang Wenqiu and Xue Ziahe appeared to be very enthusiastic.


    Of course, even if Zhao Chenggan did not sow discord here, these two people could not possibly let Ye Yuan off.


    But Huang Wenqiu gave a mysterious smile at this time and said, "Rest assured, Your Highness. I''ve already prepared a feast for Ji Qing. I believe that he''ll thank me."


    "Oh? Then I''ll be waiting to see it!'' Zhao Chenggan suddenly became interested.


    . . . . . .


    After settling Xu Qing down, this spouse finding martial competition naturally still had to continue.


    But Ye Yuan''s spectacular performance already made most people shrink back. For some time, there was actually nobody who went up the stage.


    Formidable divine soul attack plus daunting divine soul defense. How to deal with such a monster?


    Even a Third Level Sea Transformation Realm suffered a crushing defeat in front of him. Unless Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realms took part, or else, they would simply not be Ye Yuan''s match.


    "Is there anybody else going up the stage to challenge Young Master Ji?" Seeing nobody go up the stage, the judge opened his mouth to ask again.


    Right at this time, a youth sprung onto the stage and said, "I''m here to challenge you!"


    This youth''s strength was uncommon too; he was at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    It was just that this realm was somewhat lacking to Ye Yuan. This point, everyone knew full well in their hearts.


    "Is this lad''s brain damaged? Clearly aware that he isn''t Ye Yuan''s match and still run up to look for a thrashing?"


    "Heh heh, maybe he''s bored out of his mind and sent himself up to let people train!"


    "Really can''t understand why there are increasingly more idiots now!"


    Smart people always held the majority on this earth. Fully aware that they were not a match and still going up to seek a walloping would clearly be thought of as a moron by people.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan just used one God Stunning Spike, and that youth directly collapsed.


    Yet, when that youth buckled, another Third Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist directly went up to challenge. But was shot down by Ye Yuan again very quickly.


    What surprised everyone was that this was only the beginning!


    From then on, the young martial artists who went up the platform followed one after the other; all Second or Third Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    While they were dropped by Ye Yuan very quickly one by one, everyone discovered that it was not quite right.


    If it was said that one was a fool and two was a fool, it could not be that over ten in a row were morons, right?


    Ye Yuan''s brows could not help furrowing. He instantly defeated his opponents directly right after coming up. The goal was to awe the audience below the stage and make most people not dare to go up the stage.


    Thousands upon thousands of martial artists, even if he had three heads and six arms, it was also not possible to deal with all of them!


    In comparison to using martial techniques, the God Stunning Spike was evidently more awe-inspiring. Because he did not even need to make a move.


    Honestly speaking, he already achieved the effect. There was already not many people who dared to go up the stage.


    While there were still some Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm and above martial artists below the stage, they all had a wait and see attitude.


    These people were virtually all famed characters in the capital. Nobody was willing to come up and lose face.


    It was just that he did not expect a large group of fellows who did not fear death to suddenly appear, coming up here to look for a thrashing one after another. This made Ye Yuan feel very puzzled.


    His gaze involuntarily swept to Zhao Chenggan and and the others on the grandstands, and he quickly discovered that Huang Wenqiu''s expression was slightly pleased with himself. Ye Yuan understood the situation in no time.


    Want to use non-stop battles to exhaust my strength? Hur hur, really . . . a pig-like brain! Since you used this kind of despicable moves, then don''t blame me for being discourteous! I want to see how many people you can send up! Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart.


    At this time, there were clearly also some smart people below the stage who perceived that something was wrong. Their mouths involuntarily started ranting and cursing.


    "Truly shameless enough! To actually use continuous battles to exhaust Ji Qing''s strength!"


    "Hey, do they still want face or not? The spouse finding martial competition relies on true abilities. Using this kind of despicable moves will shorten one''s lifespan!"


    "Using this kind of methods, even if they win, it won''t be honorable either! If Miss Ruyan marries this kind of trash, I''m the first to be unconvinced!"


    Hearing the cursing sounds below, Huang Wenqiu had a very composed look.


    Evidently, he took no notice of these admonishment voices at all.


    "Hur hur, Young Master Huang really has nice means. The lofty number two expert in the capital actually use this kind of lowly method to expend your opponent''s strength. The surprise it gave us . . . really isn''t small!" The fatty Tang Zhi was very displeased by this action. He already carried a sting in his words when talking.


    But Huang Wenqiu smiled and said, "Those who dare to stand on this stage will have to accept the challenge of all the young heroes under the heavens. If one doesn''t have such awareness, I think it''s best to scram down the stage early."


    Tang Zhi snickered coldly and said, "I wonder if Young Master Huang heard the words of those martial artists below? Young heroes? Young Master Huang really likes to gild your face with gold!"


    But Zhao Chenggan said indifferently, "Since time immemorial, the victor becomes king, and the loser a bandit. I don''t feel that Wenqiu''s way of doing things is in any way inappropriate. Since one knows the rules of today''s spouse finding martial competition, one would need to plan out a strategy well in advance. Ji Qing dares to be the first one on the stage. Don''t tell me he''s still afraid of other people going up to challenge him?"


    "Humph! Really birds of a feather flock together!" When Tang Zhi saw that these two people were colluding together, he was so angry that he snorted coldly and did not speak anymore.


    "Eldest Senior Brother, these few fellows are called the capital''s number one and number two experts in vain! Simply shameless! Carrying like this, I''m afraid that Little Junior Brother he . . ." Tang Zhi''s transmitted his voice to Shi Haoran.


    But Shi Haoran smiled faintly and said, "You take a look at Little Junior Brother again."


    Tang Zhi was secretly startled and involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan. Indeed, he saw that some transformation took place on his body!


    Prior to this, although Ye Yuan''s body had that sort of aura which disdained all under the heavens the entire time, he did not have much killing intent.


    But now, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body already became fierce and sharp!


    "I''m afraid that they miscalculated; wanting to use this kind of method to deal with Little Junior Brother. Little Junior Brother isn''t some soft persimmon. This point can be seen from him using extreme measures to utterly destroy Tong Wenchang. This time, I''m afraid that Huang Wenqiu that boy''s flesh is going to hurt," Shi Haoran said with a smile.

 421 All Come Up!

    "Argh!"


    With a tragic cry, the young martial artist opposite collapsed with a loud crash!


    But this time, this martial artist did not even get to emit a tragic cry and immediately stopped breathing!


    Ye Yuan directly pulverized his opponent''s divine soul. Without a divine soul, the martial artist became a dead person too.


    Everyone was secretly alarmed and realized that the atmosphere seemed to have become different from before.


    "Next!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    This time, the next martial artist did not jump up right away.


    Huang Wenqiu''s expression also changed. He knew that his methods had already thoroughly infuriated Ye Yuan. Otherwise, he would not directly deal a killing blow.


    Ye Yuan''s attacks previously all just made his opponents lose their combat ability and did not kill.


    Those martial artists only had to recuperate their divine soul for a while after going back and would be able to recover very quickly.


    But now that Ye Yuan was aware of this kind of despicable means, he naturally would not go easy anymore.


    One comes, I''ll kill one!


    Two come, I''ll kill both!


    He really wanted to see how many Sea Transformation Realm martial artists Huang Wenqiu could prepare to send here to die!


    At this time, Huang Wenqiu said a few words in a low voice to a servant behind. That servant received the order and left.


    Before long, another martial artist jumped onto the platform.


    This time, there was an uproar below the stage!


    Fourth Level Sea Transformation!


    A heavyweight class martial artist finally went up!


    Up to this point, Ye Yuan had a manner of sweeping clean all along. Everyone did not know where his limits lied.


    And Third Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artists simply could not feel out Ye Yuan''s limits.


    Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm. Regardless whether it was essence energy realm or soul force realm, it all went up an entire step!


    Nothing more suited to use for testing Ye Yuan''s limits.


    Seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan flashed a grin and said, "Finally sent a decent one up. But . . . you''re still too weak!"


    The arrival said in a great rage, "Don''t belittle others! Clear my round first before talking!"


    This martial artist was naturally also aware of Ye Yuan''s prowess and did not let out any boasting.


    Up until now, Ye Yuan only used one move against everyone!


    One had to know that among these people, regardless of whether it was essence energy realm or divine soul realm, they were all much higher than Ye Yuan!


    Such a horrifying ability to leap ranks and battle seriously daunted people even from a distance.


    This young martial artist was already considered outstanding among those in the same generation. But in front of Ye Yuan, he seriously could not be arrogant.


    "Haha, clearing your round is it? Then . . . you have to receive it well!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The young martial artist''s expression changed, and he immediately felt that things were bad!


    However . . . it was already too late.


    He only felt a blur before his eyes. A streak of swordlight already penetrated through his heart.


    "H-How . . . is . . . this . . . possible?"


    Finished talking, this martial artist fell backward looking up at the sky, breathing his last. He did not dare to believe this scene before his eyes even till death.


    "No way, right? Ji Qing he didn''t use divine soul attacks, but used martial techniques to kill his opponent! Furthermore . . . it was still one move . . ."


    "Really freaking seeing ghosts! His divine soul attacks are so strong, and even his martial techniques are actually also so formidable! The opponent was at the Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm! He finished him off in one move!"


    "Too powerful! I completely did not see clearly how he attacked! Why do I feel like his martial technique is even stronger than his divine soul attack? Is he really an alchemist?"


    "This Ji Qing is simply without any chinks in his armor! Unparalleled alchemy skills. Overwhelming divine soul attacks. Even his martial techniques are so powerful! My God, how can there be such a genius in this world? Does he still want people to live?"


    Ye Yuan did not use very dazzling martial techniques. With his present concepts comprehension, a streak of casually released swordlight was already matchlessly powerful.


    That young martial artist earlier was at best equal to Lan Bao''s strength.


    Ye Yuan already finished off Lan Bao at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm. Now that he already broke through to Late-Stage Crystal Formation Realm, casually finishing off an ordinary Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was nothing amazing.


    However, his divine soul attack was already not very useful. So he gave it up immediately.


    If he could not even eliminate a cannon fodder like this, how could he get to maul the capital''s number one expert, Zhao Chenggan?


    Although they were both similarly at the Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm, Zhao Chenggan''s strength compared to that one just now was the difference of clouds and mud.


    This was the disparity in concepts.


    Seeing Ye Yuan finish off a Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm with a casual blow, Zhao Chenggan''s face could not help changing.


    He felt an immense threat!


    These few years, Zhao Chenggan had always viewed Shangguan Lingyun as his greatest adversary. But even Shangguan Lingyun could not give him such an enormous threat!


    Ji Qing this brat is only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    Being at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm and able to instantly kill someone at the Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm. Wait until he advanced to the Sea Transformation Realm, what can I do by then?


    Looks like I must find an opportunity to kill this brat. Otherwise, the position of wind emperor will probably never reach my turn no matter what!


    In Zhao Chenggan''s heart, nothing was more important than the position of wind emperor.


    For the position of wind emperor, he would do anything!


    But he naturally did not know that Ye Yuan completely did not care a whit about the so-called position of wind emperor, and Ye Yuan also could not possibly go and snatch whatever position of wind emperor from him.


    Zhao Chenggan treating Ye Yuan as an imaginary foe; Ye Yuan was seriously wronged.


    Yet . . . who asked Ye Yuan''s guise to be too good?


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly called out in a clear voice, "Huang Wenqiu, however many people you prepared at the back, let them come together!"


    The crowd was taken aback from shock. Only now did they know that the one working this never-ending battles was actually Huang Wenqiu.


    But Ye Yuan calling out Huang Wenqiu so cockily still gave everyone a great fright.


    Continuous battles were already shameless enough. Now, Ye Yuan actually asked the other party to come all together. This . . .


    One had to know that the ones coming up at the back were definitely powerhouses.


    That judge was also quite worried. He asked weakly, "Young Master Ji, this . . . doesn''t adhere to the rules, right?"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "What doesn''t adhere to the rules is there? Coming up one by one is too troublesome. When do we have to fight until? Coming up together, resolving it is faster too."


    "This . . . this . . ." The judge looked towards Xiao Changfeng with beseeching eyes.


    Xiao Changfeng mused for a moment and said with a nod, "As Young Master Ji says then!"


    Huang Wenqiu''s face fell as he said, "Since you want to seek death, then I''ll help you! Ask them all to go up!"


    In a short while, over ten silhouettes appeared up there vividly, surrounding Ye Yuan in the center.


    When the crowd looked over, they involuntarily sucked in a cold breath!


    These dozen over people were mostly Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivation. There were even three people who actually already reached the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    Such a lineup was seriously too strong.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan was only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm challenging a dozen over Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realms?


    "Young Master Ji, finish them off! We support you!"


    "Yeah! Utterly shameless! Come on, Young Master Ji! We''re all rooting for you!"


    "Young Master Ji, I want to marry you and become your concubine!" yelled out a female martial artist.


    "Hahaha!"


    This sort of unabashed measures already stirred up everyone''s sympathy towards Ye Yuan.


    For a moment, the shouting below the platform rose one after the other. They were all supporting Ye Yuan.

 422 Gorgeous Blossom

    Ye Yuan swept a cold glance across these Sea Transformation Realm martial artists and said coolly, "You all don''t blame me. If you want someone to blame . . . then blame Huang Wenqiu. Bon voyage."


    That apathetic attitude of Ye Yuan''s thoroughly infuriated these people.


    They were all talented individuals among those of the same generation. Although they attached themselves to the Huang Family, they had their own pride.


    But now, they were looked down by a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    "You''re too unbridled, boy! Do you really think that you''re invincible?"


    "You''re facing so many of us alone. Do you really take us to be made of paper?"


    "Hehe, so rampant now. In a while, there will be the time for you to cry!"


    These people were currently cursing when all of a sudden, their faces changed!


    The surrounding heaven and earth essence energy underwent some minute changes. Countless pink flower petals were currently forming together in midair!


    "Not good! This boy can actually mobilize heaven and earth essence energy! Quickly attack!"


    These people were not rookies and discovered what was wrong very soon. Each of them unleashed their own ultimate moves.


    Except, how could Ye Yuan give them the opportunity?


    Breaking through to Late-Stage Crystal Formation Realm, Ye Yuan was already not far away from Sea Transformation Realm. His affinity towards heaven and earth essence energy already had a qualitative increase.


    Him unleashing Thousand Flowing Petals again at this time, the power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as before.


    It was only to see the pink flower petals which covered the skies surround the entire platform. The martial artists below could not even see clearly what was happening on the stage!


    "This . . . What move is this? Too terrifying!"


    "Oh my God. He''s only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. His control over heaven and earth essence energy actually already reached such an outrageous degree! This move, even Late-Stage Sea Transformation Realms probably can''t execute it either, right?"


    Yet, a group of female martial artists was dazzled by this scenery.


    "Whoa! So gorgeous! Young Master Ji must be a very romantic person. To actually be able to execute such a resplendently beautiful move."


    When Shangguan Lingxue saw this scene, her eyes likewise roamed around. "I''m really somewhat envious of Younger Sister Ruyan now. To actually have such a phenomenal man battle all the heroes in the world for her. If there''s a man who does this for me, I''d even die happy! Getting such a husband, what else is there to seek?"


    When Zhao Chenggan heard these words, his face instantly turned green.


    Shangguan Lingxue was a very proud girl. He courted Shangguan Lingxue for several years and did not get such a praise from her either.


    Those words earlier, Shangguan Lingxue had clearly moved on already!


    However, Ji Qing that punk was still fighting for Xiao Ruyan!


    Zhao Chenggan''s heart suddenly became abnormally irritable; with an impulse to go down and kill Ye Yuan.


    "Thousand Flowing Petals! Slaughter!"


    Four words were lightly uttered out of Ye Yuan''s mouth. The flying petals which covered the skies were initially drifting about peacefully. But at this time, it became wild, charging towards the dozen over martial artists without care.


    "Ahh!"


    "Argh!"


    . . . . . .


    For some time, miserable cries lingered incessantly, making people''s scalp tingled.


    They could not see clearly what was happening inside the sea of flower petals. But just hearing those miserable cries, they also knew that behind these dazzling flower petals, something not beautiful was currently happening.


    After a dozen over breaths, the flower petals dissipated, and only a lonely silhouette was left on the platform. Who could it be but Ye Yuan?


    Those dozen over martial artists, including those few Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were already sprawled at random on the platform.


    "This . . . What kind of joke is this? A dozen over Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm experts were actually annihilated instantly in one move like this?"


    "I can''t stand it anymore! This Ji Qing is simply like a bottomless hole. You simply don''t know where his limits lie! Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm, he instantly defeats in one move. First Level Sea Transformation Realm, he instantly defeats in one move. Third Level Sea Transformation Realm is still insta-kill with one move! Now, a bunch of Fourth and Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm, he actually used just one move to insta-kill!"


    "But this move is really powerful until it makes people feel suffocated! Truly can''t imagine how a Crystal Formation Realm like him can actually muster up so much heaven and earth essence energy!"


    Exclamations sounded out all around. The shock that this scene brought everyone was too intense.


    Seeing this scene, Huang Wenqiu''s face became ghastly pale.


    These martial artists were all the elites of the Huang Family''s young generation. They actually died tragically in Ye Yuan''s hands just like this!


    When he returned, how should he give an account to Father?


    This time, he really played big!


    Originally, he thought that with a dozen over people ganging up on Ye Yuan, they would not lose too badly no matter what. He did not think that Ye Yuan instantly killed everyone with one move!


    This Ye Yuan was truly too monstrous!


    Huang Wenqiu looked at Ye Yuan; his eyes spewing fire.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan looked over. With a grin, he said, "Don''t waste time anymore. The two of you can come up together!"


    Both Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe''s expressions changed, but they involuntarily exchanged glances with each other.


    "You''re sure that you want to challenge the two of us?" Huang Wenqiu said with a cold smile.


    "So much crap. Did I not say clearly enough?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh heh, Huang Wenqiu, looks like the two of us are being looked down by people! Why don''t . . . we go up to right our names ourselves?" Xue Zaihe said with a light laugh.


    Huang Wenqiu nodded with a solemn look and said, "While I''m not quite willing to join hands with a fellow like you, but since he''s seeking death himself, we have to team up no matter what. If I don''t kill this punk today, it will be hard to sate the hatred in my heart!"


    "Haha, even being rampant has to have a limit, isn''t it so? Although we''re both Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm too, he doesn''t think that he can beat us for certain using just that one move, right?" Xue Zaihe''s smile gradually became cold.


    Among the junior generation in the entire capital, he only dreaded Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan.


    Today, he was actually disparaged by a Crystal Formation Realm boy. It truly displeased him greatly.


    "Fine! Then the two of us sworn enemies will cooperate well today! Ruyan''s matter, after settling this punk, we''ll fight a match properly again!" Huang Wenqiu said.


    Poking such a big hole, Huang Wenqiu must kill Ye Yuan today and marry Xiao Ruyan over. Or else, when he returned today, he would have no way of giving an account to his family.


    "Young Master Ji actually wants to challenge Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe joining hands. This act . . . is rather rash!''


    "I couldn''t agree more! These two people are known as the capital''s junior generation''s number two experts. It''s not an unearned reputation. Those people previously even if their realms were on par with theirs, their strength was also at a different league."


    "Although that move from Young Master Ji earlier was powerful, it''s only powerful in area-of-effect attacks. With Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe''s strength, wanting to crack it shouldn''t be tough. Young Master Ji fighting two alone, the difficulty is somewhat high!"


    Both Huang Wenqiu''s and Xue Zaihe''s strengths were already deeply entrenched in the hearts of the people. These martial artists all knew the terror of their strength.


    As for the number one Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan, they dared to imagine even less.


    However, Ye Yuan was only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm after all. Facing these two great experts, it was seriously at too much of a disadvantage.


    The two people stood up and jumped onto the platform. Huang Wenqiu grinned hideously and said, "Ji Qing! This is you courting death yourself! I''m not to blame! Killing you on the stage, I believe that Sovereign Star Abyss has no reason to put the blame on me too!"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "As long as you have the capabilities, there will naturally not be anybody who comes to find trouble with you."

 423 Evenly Matched!

    "Xue Zaihe, don''t you turn up for work but not put in the effort!" Huang Wenqiu said.


    "Relax. This bit of gains and losses relation, I can still differentiate it. Talk about other things after taking care of this punk first!'' Xue Zaihe replied.


    "Then that''s good. Go!"


    Once Huang Wenqiu''s voice faded, the two people''s figure instantly vanished from where they stood. The speed was swift beyond comprehension. Previously, Wang Jie''s speed during the earlier battle was as slow as a snail in front of these two!


    However, at that moment, Ye Yuan''s figure similarly vanished from its original spot!


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    A series of metal clashing sound echoed. The martial artists below the stage practically could not capture these three people''s actions. Only from the afterimages left behind occasionally did they know that these three were in the midst of an intense confrontation.


    Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe being so fast were within everyone''s expectations.


    But everyone did not think that Ye Yuan could actually keep up with the pair''s speed!


    Fighting two alone, they actually fought until neither could gain the upper hand!


    When did Crystal Formation Realm martial artists had such speed . . .


    "Too fast! I completely can''t make out their movements! Who holds the advantage right now?"


    "Don''t know! I can''t see clearly either! Is Ji Qing really a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? Did he hide his strength?"


    "Impossible! From the start to the end, his essence energy undulations was Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. It''s certain!"


    "If I were on the stage, I would have died a dozen times over long ago! Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe are indeed well-deserving of being the number two experts. Their comprehension of concepts is simply not what rookies like us can compare to!"


    In truth, Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe were both very wary of Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals.


    The shock that the scene prior to this gave the two of them was too great.


    Therefore, these two acted in concert without prior consultation and chose to attack directly; they adopted the method of hand-to-hand combat to not give Ye Yuan the chance to execute Thousand Flowing Petals.


    The two of them were at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm. Their realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. They decided to use realm to crush Ye Yuan to death!


    But the result of the matter did not develop as they imagined. The more Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe fought, the more alarmed they became.


    Ye Yuan''s Canghua Sword danced impenetrably. In the blink of an eye, a hundred moves were exchanged, but the two of them actually did not occupy a gleam of advantage at all!


    This . . . How was this possible?


    How could they know that Ye Yuan comprehended the Transmission Concept and the Wind Flow Concept? In terms of movement technique and in terms of offensive power, he was only stronger and not weaker.


    Apart from suffering some minor losses regarding essence energy, Ye Yuan tossed them several streets behind in other areas!


    It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan could just barely fight to a draw with them. Otherwise, their outcome would not be any better than those martial artists previously.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan continuously condensed a small mass of Thousand Flowing Petals in the process of fighting them to neutralize their all kinds of attack.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, just condensing such a small bundle of petals was basically something as swift as thought and completely did not require large-scale mobilizing of heaven and earth essence energy.


    "Ji Qing''s execution of his move already reached the extent of releasing and withdrawing as he pleases. Moreover, this move of his is like the flower petals dances along with his entire being. Truly a feast for the eyes and mind!" Shangguan Lingxue praised.


    Of course, not everybody was unable to capture these three people''s speed. There were many experts present and also plenty of people stronger than them. There were obviously people who could see it.


    But precisely because they could see it, their understanding of Ye Yuan''s prowess became even clearer instead.


    Having been through such a long period of fumbling and comprehension, Ye Yuan''s execution of the Thousand Flowing Petals already reached an extremely proficient degree.


    It was also to say that Ye Yuan''s comprehension of this supreme true intent took another large stride forward.


    Shangguan Lingyun nodded his head as well and said, "To wield this move to such a transcendent degree, this Ji Qing''s strength truly makes people sigh with admiration!"


    Shangguan Lingxue asked rather puzzledly, "Big Brother rarely commends people. You didn''t give rise to the thought of fighting with him, right?"


    Shangguan Lingyun smiled and said, "Younger Sister understands me. That''s right. An opponent like this is really hard to come by!"


    Shangguan Lingxue said in derision, "Then, did Big Brother take fancy on Ji Qing this rival or took fancy on Young Sister Ruyan?"


    "Haha! You and Sister Ruyan are hailed collectively as the capital''s dual absolutes. If I can marry her home, wouldn''t that be beautiful?" Shangguan Lingyun said with a loud laugh.


    "If that''s the case, then Big Brother will have to kill Ji Qing on the stage today. Or else, you''d establish a terrifying enemy for yourself," Shangguan Lingxue said with a smile.


    The smile on Shangguan Lingyun''s face froze. Evidently, he had not considered this problem.


    And this problem was really a dreadful issue.


    If he really killed Ye Yuan, the Shangguan Family would have thoroughly offended the Alchemist Association.


    As long as Star Abyss still sat on this position for a day, the Shangguan Family could forget about ever finding the Alchemist Association to refine a medicinal pill.


    Such a loss was not what the Shangguan Family could bear.


    And if he did not kill Ye Yuan, the grudge of snatching his wife was irreconcilable. How could Ji Qing be willing to drop the matter with him?


    Although Shangguan Lingyung had immense faith in himself, facing a monster like Ye Yuan, he still really did not wish to provoke.


    "Alright then . . . take it as if I never said it," Shangguan Lingyun said helplessly.


    "Hehe, I have really never seen such a Big Brother. I''m getting more and more interested in this Ji Qing," Shangguan Lingxue said with a beam.


    By the side, Zhao Chenggan''s complexion turned green once again.


    Ye Yuan already entered the Heart Like Still Water State currently. Each and every action of the two people were within grasp.


    Adding his subtle manipulation of the Thousand Flowing Petals, the more Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe fought, the more depressed they got.


    In a twinkle, several hundred moves passed. The two of them did not gain any advantage at all!


    The two number two experts in the capital''s junior generation were actually helpless against a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm when partnering up. Saying this out was an utter joke.


    What made them even gloomier was that fighting until now, Ye Yuan''s essence energy did not have the slightest hint of being drained; it was as if it totally could not be exhausted!


    Where did this fellow get so much essence energy?


    One had to know that Ye Yuan already fought with twenty to thirty Sea Transformation Realm martial artists prior to this. Could it be that he did not expend any essence energy at all?


    A massive area-of-effect move like the Thousand Flowing Petals should be extremely draining on essence energy. Why was Ye Yuan''s essence energy so abundant?


    These two people discovered to their sorrow that they could not gain any bit of advantage with such a fighting method!


    "Xue Zaihe!" Huang Wenqiu suddenly yelled out.


    "En!" Xue Zaihe understood tacitly. The two of them withdrew their moves at the same time, pulling apart the distance from Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not continue his victorious pursuit but remained calm and composed as he stared at the two of them.


    With his essence energy thickness, plus extremely precise control over essence energy, he did not fear the two of them fighting a consumption battle with him.


    "Ji Qing! I admit that you''re very strong! But it ends here!" Huang Wenqiu said with a cold snort.


    Clearly, he was very unsatisfied with this battle result.


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Whatever moves you have, just use them! I''ll receive it all!"


    Huang Wenqiu sneered coldly and said, "As you wish! Xue Zaihe, don''t hide it anymore. Bring out your true abilities!"


    Xue Zaihe nodded and said, "Okay!"

 424 Too Na?ve!

    Two great experts fighting two on one and were actually unable to takedown Ye Yuan. They both felt a loss of prestige.


    These first-rate family''s top disciples naturally all had their own powerful trump cards.


    It was just that there were a scant few people who could force out their trump cards.


    Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe''s trump cards were saved for each other. But now, they had no choice but to use them at the same time to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Because from them observing the matches until now, ordinary measures completely could not do anything to Ye Yuan!


    Although Ye Yuan was only at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm, his true combat power was already on the same level as the two of them!


    No, even so far as to say that it surpassed theirs!


    Because the two of them combining strength earlier only just barely fought to a draw with Ye Yuan too


    A heaven-defying genius like this, how could they possibly defeat without going all out?


    Huang Wenqiu used a saber. He raised long saber in his hand and said solemnly, "To be able to die under my Wind Rebelling Three Blades, it''s also considered your fortune!"


    But what Xue Zaihe relied on was a pair of naked palms. It was only to see him put his palms together. His aura increased explosively!


    His realm was actually rising continuously!


    Very soon, Xue Zaihe broke through to the Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm. But it did not end. His aura was still rising unceasingly!


    Before long, Xue Zaihe broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in one stroke!


    Everyone''s faces changed!


    "Origin Spirit Nine Transformations! Xue Zaihe actually learned the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!" Shi Haoran''s complexion turned pale from fear.


    "Origin Spirit Nine Transformations is a martial technique that uses the essence fire within the martial artist''s body as the foundation to stimulate the martial artist''s potential to let the martial artist temporarily break through realms! It''s the Xue Family''s ultimate martial technique. To think that Xue Zaihe actually already successfully planted an essence fire inside his body and even successfully cultivated this martial technique. Truly surprising!" Shangguan Lingyun gasped with admiration.


    "Looking at Xue Zaihe breaking through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, the essense fire in his body should be a Quasi-Tier 4 origin fire. Pretty decent already! Hehe, I really want to see how Ji Qing plans on dealing with these two people''s ultimate martial techniques," Shangguan Lingxue said with a giggle.


    The effects of this Origin Spirit Nine Transformations was actually similar to the Five Elements Spirit Link Pill that Ye Yuan took in the past. It could raise the martial artist''s realm briefly!


    At this time, Xiao Ruyan finally could not sit still anymore.


    She could not resist uncovering her head veil slightly and taking the scene on the stage all in.


    When she saw Xue Zaihe breaking through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, she could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.


    "Ji Qing, nothing must happen to you! Or else, I won''t be able to forgive myself for life either!" Xiao Ruyan said with tears in her eyes.


    "Heh heh, to think that you really held a move in reserve! If you suddenly used this move when fighting me, I would really not know how to deal with it!" Huang Wenqiu said with a snicker.


    He and Xue Zaihe had always been well-matched. Their strength was almost on par.


    Once Xue Zaihe directly broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm and reached late-stage Sea Transformation Realm, even if Huang Wenqiu were more powerful, he would also not be his match!


    Xue Zaihe grinned and said, "So what even if you know? I don''t believe that you can leap across two minor realms to defeat me!"


    There was already an exceedingly huge disparity between the Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm and Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, let alone Huang Wenqiu was only at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    Hence, Xue Zaihe was brimming with confidence!


    But Huang Wenqiu was very composed as he said, "Hur hur, I''m afraid that I''ll have to disappoint you! Even you had such a huge improvement, how can I dare to ease up?"


    Finished talking, Huang Wenqiu''s aura suddenly skyrocketed!


    But what he skyrocketed was not his realm; it was the sort of pressure pressing forward with indomitable will aura!


    Xue Zaihe''s expression changed. "Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade! You actually mastered the third move, Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade!"


    Huang Wenqiu grinned and said, "I wonder how the outcome will be if I use this to deal with you?"


    At this time, although Huang Wenqiu''s realm was still at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm, in terms of aura, he surpassed even Xue Zaihe''s!


    "Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade! Hahaha! This boy still has some capabilities! To actually mastered the Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade! This time, I want to see how Ji Qing deals with the Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade plus Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!" Zhao Chenggan burst into laughter.


    Below the stage were also exclamations of shock!


    The reason why the two Huang and Xue families were called first-rate families was because apart from their family''s foundation, these two martial techniques claimed enormous credit!


    "These two people are indeed worthy of being experts tied at number two. Such talent, how many people among the younger generation could measure up?"


    "Late-stage Sea Transformation Realm versus Late-stage Crystal Formation Realm. This difference is a bit too large. Let alone there''s still a Huang Wenqiu who mastered the third move of the Wind Rebelling Three Blades!"


    "Reaching the realm of Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade. This martial technique is already considered attaining a higher level of mastery! The power of the Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade is enough to let Huang Wenqiu rival the Xue Zaihe after raising his realm! This . . . How should Young Master Ji respond?"


    Wind Rebelling Three Blades. This martial technique only had a total of three stances. However, with the mastery of each move, the power would show exponential increase!


    The reason why Huang Wenqiu could be hailed as the number two expert was by relying on him mastering the second move and far in the lead among those of the same generation.


    And now, he actually even mastered the third move. This indicated that he already cast those in the Huang Family''s same generation far behind!


    Of course, each move of the Wind Rebelling Three Blades had three levels. Huang Wenqiu had not even reached Large Success in the first level.


    Even so, he was already sufficiently powerful!


    Everyone all knew that these two had very formidable cards up their sleeves, but did not think that these two trump cards were actually so powerful!


    "Ji Qing, to be able to force us to unleash our trump cards, you can already be sufficiently proud. But after today, the capital won''t have Ji Qing this person existing anymore!" Huang Wenqiu said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan watched the two of them perform as a bystander the entire time. But, he himself did not make the slightest movement.


    Hearing Huang Wenqiu''s cold laughter, Ye Yuan suddenly smiled. "Looks like the two of you still have some capabilities to be hailed together as the number two experts in the capital."


    "Haha, pretending to be calm? However . . . it''s futile!" Xue Zaihe said with a light laugh.


    The two of them used their trump cards. Their confidence naturally shot through the roof!


    Now, even if they were asked to go and challenge Zhao Chenggan, they would also not be the slightest bit fearful!


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No need to pretend. If you guys think that you can win me like this, I can only say . . . too na?ve!"


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan gently released the Canghua Sword in his hand. Canghua Sword plunged into the clouds and vanished from sight!


    "In the past, my realm was insufficient and my essence energy was lacking, so I was incapable of unleashing the Thousand Flowing Petals'' greatest power. But now, my essence energy can already support the full-powered execution of this move. Thus . . . you guys enjoy it to your heart''s content!"


    It was like Ye Yuan''s voice came from the netherworld, striking Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe''s hearts word for word.


    Such a large display earlier, killing over a dozen Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm experts in one move, was actually not going all-out yet?


    Then . . . how horrifying would the full-powered release of this move be?


    Very soon, they came to know how harrowing it was. Because flower petals which filled the entire sky already wafted up . . .


    This time, it was not just the entire platform!

 425 Come Down and Play?

    Petals after petals danced in the air as if flower petals rained down on the entire plaza!


    If they did not know beforehand that this was Ye Yuan''s sword move, people would be exclaiming in surprise at this beautiful scenery.


    In a place like the Fierce Gale World, it was very rare to be able to see this kind of falling flowers flying all around wondrous sight.


    Ye Yuan brought it to them!


    It was just that anybody was aware that behind this beauty, an immense danger was concealed.


    The flower petals which blotted out the skies and covered the earth gave people a hair-raising oppressive feeling instead.


    "Oh my God. Is this really a martial technique unleashed by a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm? It''s too preposterous, right?"


    "The quantity of these flower petals is probably several times of that move previously! He finished off over a dozen Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realms in one move just now. How horrifying will the power of this move be?"


    "This move is too heaven-defying! I really can''t imagine how a Seventh level Crystal Formation Realm can manipulate so much heaven and earth essence energy! How exquisite does one''s manipulation ability have to be?!"


    Indeed, Ye Yuan''s control over essence energy had already completely surpassed their imaginations.


    In terms of control of essence energy, Ye Yuan was Divine King level!


    And his abilities in this area were completely attributed to alchemy skills.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan was extremely meticulous in refining pills, and his requirement towards control of essence energy was harsh to the extreme. Only then did he have such exquisite control abilities.


    In the past, Ye Yuan was a housewife who could not cook a meal without rice. Now that his strength increased dramatically and his essence energy was ample, he could unleash this aspect to its pinnacle!


    Controlling heaven and earth essence energy was not having it at one''s beck and call, but to control the heaven and earth essence energy within a certain radius with the essence energy within the martial artist''s own body as the foundation.


    Now that Ye Yuan broke through five realms in succession, the essence energy in his body showed an exponential increase. The essence energy that he could control naturally also increased exponentially.


    Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe were still brimming with confidence earlier. But currently, their faces had a never before seen grimness.


    Such power was simply appalling!


    The pair exchanged glances, and understood each other without words!


    "Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade, Advancing With Indomitable Will!" Huang Wenqiu roared, charging at Ye Yuan with a lightning-like momentum.


    "Starfire Ablazing Prairie!" Xue Zaihe lightly flicked his finger. A small tuft of flames flew out swiftly, vanishing in a blink of an eye!


    The two people bore down menacingly. Ye Yuan mind stirred. Two clumps of flower petals blocked their incoming path.


    "Thousand Flowing Petals, explode!"


    Faint explosion sounds echoed in the air, wanting to stop the two people''s incoming path.


    However, the Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade and Origin Spirit Nine Transformations were not some common wares.


    Only to see Huang Wenqiu pressing forward like a hot knife cutting through butter the entire way, splitting the clumps of flower petals!


    While Xue Zaihe formed a no-mans-land for himself with formidable strength.


    At the same time, the small tuft of flames that he controlled suddenly appeared by Ye Yuan''s side!


    Yet, it did not have the Starfire Ablazing Prairie''s momentum as imagined. Because the instant that it appeared, there were already innumerable flower petals enveloping it.


    Inside that bundle of flames contained horrifying power. However, it was wrapped up by limitless flower petals.


    The petals exploded unceasingly, frittering away that mass of flames'' power.


    While on Huang Wenqiu''s side, only to see him split the sea of petals into two halves with one blade!


    A horrifying streak of saberlight passed through the flower petals sea, cleaving towards Ye Yuan!


    But Ye Yuan unhurriedly controlled the boundless petals to continuously explode around the surroundings of the saberlight.


    By the time the saberlight arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it was already just an ordinary attack.


    Ye Yuan casually flicked with his hand. The saberlight dissipated.


    Huang Wenqiu''s expression changed drastically. This was his Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade''s strongest attack. This streak of saberlight was enough to freaking cleave ordinary Late-Stage Sea Transformation Realms into two halves! It was actually effortlessly resolved by Ye Yuan just like this!


    Huang Wenqiu gritted his teeth, mustered up all the momentum of his saber, and slashed towards Ye Yuan once again!


    However, there were petals exploding non-stop around him, hindering his advancement. There were too many flower petals. Clumps after clumps exploded ceaselessly, seemingly without end.


    Ye Yuan was clearly not far away. But Huang Wenqiu felt that this bit of distance was a short distance away, but poles apart.


    Just like this, his speed became increasingly slower.


    This Wind Rebelling Frenzied Blade move stressed about accomplishing in one vigorous effort.


    But this one vigorous effort was forcefully worn down by Ye Yuan.


    Depleted by the second and exhausted by the third.


    Without that momentum of pressing forward with indomitable will, even if the saber technique was stronger, it would not be much stronger.


    The saber momentum that Huang Wenqiu accumulated for a long time dissipated to nothing like this.


    The saber momentum exhausted, Huang Wenqiu was instantaneously enveloped by infinite flower petals, going from offense to defense!


    While on this side, Xue Zaihe already sunk into the boundless flower sea.


    Although the flower petals were unable to break through his defense for the time being with him relying on his powerful Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivation, he could not do anything to those flower petals either.


    Just eradicated one batch, and there would immediately be a vast quantity of flower petals replenishing over.


    This sort of fighting method really made people have an impulse to vomit blood.


    And that bundle of flames that he fired out was already like a candle flame in the wind currently; tottering on the edge of extinguishing.


    Seeing the great battle on the platform, everyone below the stage all held their breaths.


    They had never seen before that martial artists could still fight like this!


    "Young Master Ji''s martial technique is simply unheard of! These flower petals look very weak. So many countless flower petals together give people a feeling of being unmatched!"


    "Yeah! Moreover, Young Master Ji''s attention is divided into three; he''s controlling those flower petals to deal with the two people and a bundle of flames. This feeling of releasing and withdrawing it as he pleases really makes people revere!"


    "No matter how powerful the attack, going through those countless petals'' self-detonation and erosion, it would rapidly become weak and feeble. This kind of feeling is like falling into a quagmire."


    The flower petals in the sky became increasingly sparse. Just as the petals were about to dissipate to nothing, Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe finally could not hold out anymore, and the flower petals breached their defenses!


    "Ahh!"


    "Argh!"


    Two miserable cries sounded out on the platform at the same time, making people''s hearts tightened when heard.


    "The two mighty number two experts were defeated like this?" The audience below the stage still did not dare quite believe this until now.


    How many years had it been since anyone from the capital''s junior generation dared to challenge Xuang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe?


    Apart from Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan, these two people could virtually be said to be invincible existences!


    But today, under their teaming up, they actually lost in the hands of a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist.


    The impact this conclusion gave people was seriously too great!


    Even if Ye Yuan killed so many Sea Transformation Realm martial artists previously, the impact it brought was also not as great as now!


    Ye Yuan stood at a corner of the platform dressed in white. Clearly quite young, yet gave people a feeling of insurmountable!


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to a heavenly deity descending upon the world; invincible!


    The shock that Ye Yuan gave everyone today could no longer be described using words.


    Crossing ranks to battle was every genius''s inherent skill.


    But crossing ranks to battle like Ye Yuan, the people completely could not imagine it!


    One had to know that Ye Yuan''s opponents could virtually be said to represent the highest standards of the entire Fierce Gale World''s junior generation!


    Such a victory was too soul-stirring.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly turned around to look at Zhao Chenggan, saying nonchalantly, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, want to come down and play?"

 426 Shangguan Lingyun’s Anticipation

    When Ye Yuan''s voice fell, everyone''s hearts plunged!


    "I''m a little hard of hearing. What did Ji Qing say just now?"


    "He . . . He wants to challenge His Highness, the Seventh Prince! I-I didn''t hear it wrongly, right?"


    "I really don''t know how to use words to describe my current emotion. In this world, apart from Shangguan Lingyun, there''s actually somebody who dares to challenge His Highness, the Seventh Prince!"


    "Yeah! Seventh Prince is a genius martial artist who comprehended true intent; on a completely different level from Huang Wenqiu and the rest! Ji Qing . . . actually dares to challenge even him!"


    "Why do I feel like something is not quite right? Isn''t this a spouse finding martial competition? Why did it suddenly become a martial arts tournament? The matter of His Highness, the Seventh Prince, courting Shangguan Lingxue is publicly known. As long as Ye Yuan doesn''t provoke him, it''s impossible for him to come down!"


    Ye Yuan''s words instantly ignited the entire plaza!


    Challenging the capital''s number one, the candidate for wind emperor, how formidable the strength and how much courage did this need?!


    "Heh, you''re sure that you want to challenge this prince?" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold snicker.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s courting death action, Zhao Chenggan was naturally very welcoming.


    He had long wanted to eliminate Ye Yuan. Now, with this open and above-board chance to kill Ye Yuan, he obviously did not wish to let it slip by.


    Even with Ye Yuan using a powerful move such as the Thousand Flowing Petals previously, Zhao Chenggan still had full confidence in eliminating Ye Yuan!


    "Little Junior Brother, don''t be reckless! I know that your strength improved greatly. But Zhao Chenggan''s strength is absolutely not as simple as you imagine!" Shi Haoran''s brows knitted and he transmitted his voice.


    Xiao Ruyan was so anxious that she almost wanted to jump down. She hurriedly transmitted her voice, "Young Master Ji, the pair''s strength earlier is much weaker compared to Zhao Chenggan. You . . . You better not provoke him!"


    But Ye Yuan smiled lightly and did not say any more. However, his meaning was understood by all.


    He was not joking but really wanted to challenge Seventh Prince!


    Zhao Chenggan sneered and said, "You aren''t thinking that you have the qualifications to challenge me after winning the two of them, right? Since you''re seeking death, then I''ll help you!"


    Finished talking, Zhao Chenggan floated down.


    Arriving on top of the platform, Zhao Chenggan''s long spear jerked and was full of overbearingness from start to end.


    "Haha, a vanquished opponent actually has the guts to challenge this Prince! This Prince admires your foolishness greatly! It''s just that even I kill you today, I won''t marry Xiao Ruyan either. Don''t you worry."


    Once he stood on the stage, Zhao Chenggan''s tyrannical aura could not be concealed anymore.


    Especially with that long spear in his hands, it raised his aura to the peak even more so.


    Every action carried a breath-taking power!


    The number one expert among the younger generation lived up to his reputation.


    Hearing Zhao Chenggan''s words, Xiao Ruyan heaved a sigh of relief. But she was also secretly worried for Ye Yuan.


    Zhao Chenggan already had not exhibited his strength in front of people for a long time. Most likely, even Shangguan Lingyun wasn''t sure of his current strength.


    But nobody doubted Zhao Chenggan''s present strength!


    "I will seek vengeance if there is a grudge. I entered a retreat for a month and broke through five realms consecutively. This was all for you. Hence, you should feel honored!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Last time, Zhao Chenggan not only nearly killed Ye Yuan, he even almost killed White Light too.


    This grudge was not what an apology could skate over.


    If Zhao Chenggan sincerely apologized, then forget it. But the entire capital all knew that Zhao Chenggan was only forced by the circumstances.


    If not for Star Abyss exerting pressure on the Wind Emperor, it was entirely impossible for him to come to apologize.


    Ye Yuan was about to leave the Fierce Gale World soon. With Ye Yuan''s personality of not leaving revenge through the night, how could he possibly wait until the future?


    Therefore, today, this fight was unavoidable!


    "Hahaha! So what if you consecutively broke through five realms? You''re not thinking that only you can break through, right? The reason why this Prince was only at the Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm was not because this Prince couldn''t break through, but it was because this Prince was deliberately suppressing my realm! Hence . . . open your eyes!" Zhao Chenggan laughed wildly.


    All of a sudden, Zhao Chenggan''s long spear shook. An absolutely powerful aura undulated out!


    On the platform, an essence energy tempest actually formed!


    "This . . . His Highness, the Seventh Prince, is actually breaking through! He''s going to break through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm! If he breaks through successfully, then Ji Qing won''t have any hope at all!"


    "What''s Ji Qing doing? Isn''t he going to go forward to interrupt Seventh Prince''s breakthrough? Watching him break through passively?"


    "Sigh . . . It''s useless. Since Seventh Prince dares to break through in front of him, he naturally isn''t afraid of him interrupting! This is a powerhouse''s absolute self-confidence! Furthermore, in that battle prior to this, Ji Qing''s essence energy is also pretty much depleted, right?"


    "But speaking of which, Seventh Prince actually broke through his bottleneck for Ye Yuan. This in itself should be an affirmation and placing importance on Ji Qing, right?"


    For a time, storms raged on the platform. Zhao Chenggan''s aura was in the midst of continuously rising!


    For geniuses like Zhao Chenggan, what was most important for them was not realm breakthrough, but it was comprehending concepts.


    When a martial artist was young, it was the most optimal time to comprehend concepts. Once their potential was exhausted, wanting to comprehend concepts again would be as hard as scaling to heaven.


    At that time, it also signified where the limits of a martial artist lay.


    Therefore, pinnacle geniuses never took breaking through realms to be of importance. Most of their time was used for comprehending concepts.


    Zhao Chenggan and Shangguan Lingyun, these people all did not deliberately cultivate essence energy but reached Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm at this age. It could be seen how great their talent was!


    Ye Yuan naturally also placed priority on comprehending concepts. Hence, his essence energy realm was not high all along.


    If he went all out to break through, he would be able to break through to the Soul Sea Realm in less than half a year.


    To an Alchemy Emperor, using medicinal pills to pile on realms was seriously too easy.


    Zhao Chenggan did not meditate to absorb essence energy. He just held his spear and stood there, but his aura was still in the midst of rising non-stop.


    Sixth Level Sea Transformation Realm to Seventh Level was not a small threshold. But in front of Zhao Chenggan, it was dismissed so easily.


    This was the number one person of the capital''s junior generation!


    Shangguan Lingxue''s face did not have any visible change in countenance. She looked at Shangguan Lingyun and said with a smile, "Big Brother seems to be regretting a little!"


    Shangguan Lingyun said with a regretful face, "Yeah. I thought of a really good idea just now to go down and fight with Ji Qing. But he actually challenged His Highness, the Seventh Prince. It makes me feel really dejected."


    Shangguan Lingxue raised her eyebrows and asked, "What idea?"


    "Hur hur, I just have to go down and defeat him, then fake defeat."


    "To think that you can think of that! But Ji Qing is already an arrow at the end of its flight, while His Highness is like the midday sun. Is there still anything worth competing in this match?"


    "You think this way? Too shallow! How can a shockingly brilliant character like Ji Qing challenge Seventh Prince under the circumstances where he doesn''t have room for maneuver?"


    "En? Could it be . . . that move earlier was still not his limit? But his essence energy has already reached its limits as well! Furthermore, His Highness even broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm. I seriously can''t think of how he should respond."


    "Heh heh, I''m also very much looking forward to it!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a laugh.

 427 How Unfortunate; I Know It Too

    Zhao Chenggan''s breakthrough did not last for too long. Very soon, the essence energy tempest dissipated. But Zhao Chenggan''s aura soared tremendously, stopping firmly at the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a cold smile and said, "Now, do you feel regret for your foolishness? But it''s already too late. Provoking this prince is your greatest sorrow in this lifetime!"


    Crossing ranks to battle were as simple as eating and drinking to Zhao Chenggan. Ordinary late-stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists completely did not have the strength to retaliate in front of him.


    Even peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, Zhao Chenggan could easily kill too.


    And today, this was his first time being crossed ranks to battle by somebody.


    Moreover, it was not one or two minor realms, but a full major realm!


    This was an immense humiliation to Zhao Chenggan.


    But Zhao Chenggan had to admit that Ye Yuan being able to beat Huang Wenqiu and Xue Zaihe''s team up showed that Ye Yuan absolutely had the qualifications to make him genuinely attach importance to him!


    Hence, he chose to break through without any hesitation!


    The Ye Yuan after breaking through five realms in succession was no longer the rookie that he could freely bully and humiliate on that day!


    Shangguan Lingyun was able to guess that Ye Yuan had a card up his sleeves; Zhao Chenggan could naturally guess that too.


    Ye Yuan still dared to issue a challenge to him under such a condition; it was impossiblefor him to be without preparations at all.


    Except that he was the same as Shangguan Lingyun, being unaware of what Ye Yuan''s card was.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Really don''t know where your confidence comes from. Is breaking through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm very impressive?"


    "Haha. The Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm is naturally nothing impressive. But to deal with you, it''s sufficient!" Zhao Chenggan said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Looks like you''re full of confidence. I really can''t bear to smash your confidence. But it''s such a shame; this sort of thing like breaking through realms, I''ve always been more adept. One realm is too little!"


    Zhao Chenggan''s face changed, and he asked, "What do you mean? You just broke through five realms. Could it be that you can still continue breaking through now? Stop joking!"


    Cultivating essence energy was a process that requires accumulation, especially after Crystal Formation Realm. For each breakthrough in a minor realm, the required essence energy was exceedingly horrifying.


    Ye Yuan entered seclusion for a month, consumed so many Jade Spirit Pills, and only broke through five realms.


    Making a last-ditch attempt at this juncture wanting to break through, that was virtually something impossible.


    The reason why Zhao Chenggan could break through was because he had already arrived at the bottleneck of the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm before and did not go and break through all along. It was why the breakthrough went so smoothly.


    But Ye Yuan''s present condition? He just had a breakthrough all the way to the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. Breaking through again was easier said than done.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "I''m not in the mood for joking. Didn''t that Xue Zaihe use an Origin Spirit Nine Transformations just now? How unfortunate; I know it too."


    Zhao Chenggan was stunned and had yet to react to what was going on, when Ye Yuan''s aura erupted abruptly, unwittingly making people feel asphyxiated.


    Then, Ye Yuan''s aura rose rapidly under everyone''s perception, directly breaking through the bottleneck for the Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    Shangguan Lingyun stood up abruptly and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief, muttering to himself, "How is this possible?"


    "This . . . Isn''t this Origin Spirits Nine Transformation? Why does Ji Qing know this move too? This is the Xue Family''s highly-guarded secret! He . . . Where did he learn it from?"


    "Why do I feel like Ye Yuan''s attainments in this move are even above Xue Zaihe? Look! He has already broken through passed the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm! This speed . . ."


    "Today''s surprises are really round after round, making it too much for the eyes to take in! This time, there''s another good show to watch!"


    Although Ye Yuan''s realm could not compare to Xue Zaihe, the upheaval from the breakthrough right now was only more and not less than his.


    Ye Yuan''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was a top tier among Tier 4 essence fires. Letting Ye Yuan use Origin Spirit Nine Transformation was overly putting fine timber to petty use.


    Soon enough, Ye Yuan''s realm broke through to peak Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    However, this was not over yet. Ye Yuan''s aura was still rising!


    Half-Step Sea Transformation!


    Ye Yuan''s realm finally stopped at the level of half-step Sea Transformation!


    Sadly, Ye Yuan did not have an essence energy sea within his body. Otherwise, his realm could still rise more.


    Half-step Sea Transformation was already the limits of his advancement.


    At this moment, how did Ye Yuan still had the appearance of essence energy being exhausted at all? Only to see him full of vigor and energy. He actually recovered to his peak condition again!


    "Hiss . . ."


    Everybody sucked in a cold breath!


    "Origin Spirit Nine Transformations is clearly the Xue Family''s ultimate trump card. But why do I feel that at this moment, the one Ye Yuan executed is the orthodox one! Could it be a misconception?" Shangguan Lingxue said with a frown.


    "Not a misconception! Ji Qing''s Origin Spirit Nine Transformation is indeed much stronger than Xue Zaihe''s! If not that his dantian is already unable to contain even more essence energy, he might really be able to rise a few more realms!" Shangguan Lingyun''s face had a never before solemnness.


    He previously even casually made the remark to go down and defeat Ye Yuan, then he would deliberately concede.


    Looking at it now, he was still too na?ve!


    Half-step Sea Transformation Ye Yuan and the current him, who was weak and who was strong was really hard to say.


    Zhao Chenggan''s expression was ugly to the max. He rose one realm, and Ye Yuan rose three realms. So freaking exasperating.


    However, Zhao Chenggan did not think that Ye Yuan could beat him like this. After all, he was still a major realm higher than him!


    Between half-step Sea Transformation and Sea Transformation Realm lied a heaven and earth difference.


    "Humph! Only a temporary increase in realm. I want to see how long you can last! Eat a spear from me first!"


    A black-colored long spear in Zhao Chenggan''s hands was extremely fierce. It was actually a 128 restrictions spirit artifact!


    In the past, when Ye Yuan fought with his opponents, he always held the advantage in weapons. But today, this was his first time losing out in weapons.


    However, this was not strange either. Zhao Chenggan was the son of the Wind Emperor. Forget about spirit artifacts, even profound artifacts would not be lacking.


    It was just that Zhao Chenggan''s present strength was still unable to unleash the might of profound artifacts. That was why he would use a spirit artifact rank weapon.


    Zhao Chenggan''s long spear danced. The tip of the spear actually swung out a crescent of light!


    The next instant, Zhao Chenggan''s figure vanished from sight without the slightest sign!


    Chi!


    When it appeared again, a spear already passed through Ye Yuan''s chest.


    Ye Yuan stood on the spot and actually did not react at all.


    "This . . . It''s over like this? Isn''t it too quick?"


    "Yeah. Ji Qing is so strong. Can''t be that he can''t even block one attack, right?"


    "No, wait . . . That was just an afterimage!"


    "What? Afterimage . . . why would it exist for such a long time?"


    "Too fast . . . Because it was too fast, so in our eyes, he simply did not move at all!"


    "But . . . the platform is only this big; where did he go?"


    Zhao Chenggan''s brow furrowed, and he turned around suddenly, swinging the long spear around!


    Only to hear a clank. The long spear directly smashed the ambushing sword light into dust.


    Ye Yuan''s figure finally appeared before everyone''s sight again.


    In an instant, everyone felt a very oppressive atmosphere undulating out.


    Although it was only a probing exchange, the two people''s might already made everyone have a clear understanding!

 428 Spear Shadow VS Sword Light!

    By the time Ye Yuan''s silhouette appeared again, only then did the afterimage gradually dissipate.


    Such speed was simply unheard of!


    "Indeed you have some capabilities. No wonder you dare to provoke me!"


    With this exchange, Zhao Chenggan''s expression also became grave.


    Very clearly, the Half-Step Sea Transformation Ye Yuan already had sufficient capital to pick a fight with him!


    "You want to drag the time?" Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Chenggan with a half-smile.


    Although the Origin Spirits Nine Transformations was powerful, it was clearly just a temporary increase in realm. When the time limit hit, one would recover to their initial realm and also have a series of sequela.


    Of course, even so, this martial technique was powerful all the same.


    Back then, there were countless records in the Medicine King Hall. Ji Qingyun also felt that this martial technique was rather interesting, and it needed to use essence fires too, which was why he took notice of it.


    To think that today in the Lower Realms, he would see other people use this martial technique.


    But Zhao Chenggan was not the slightest bit embarrassed having his thoughts seen through. "So what if yes?"


    "Hur hur, nothing. I just want to tell you that I can last for two hours at Half-Step Sea Transformation Realm. So . . . stop scheming in vain," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    This time, Zhao Chenggan''s expression finally changed. "Two hours?! Are you joking? The Xue Family''s Family Head using the Origin Spirits Nine Transformations can last for at most an hour''s time. You can actually last twice his time?"


    The Origins Spirit Nine Transformation, this technique, was actually rather heaven-defying. Even Xue Zaihe this dabbler could break through two minor realms consecutively, let alone the Xue Family''s Family Head.


    However, Xue Zaihe''s realm could only last for 15 minutes at most.


    Ye Yuan''s lasting duration was actually twice of the Xue Family''s Family Head. How could Zhao Chenggan not be astonished?


    "If you don''t believe, you can very well give it a try!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Humph! Try then try! Can you soar to the heaven?" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold snort.


    Zhao Chenggan kept his spear and stood there, putting on a ready-to-attack starting stance. An aura which made people feel stifled crept out in all directions.


    Clearly just a simple posture. People who used the spear would all display this pose. Yet, when Zhao Chenggan assumed it, it gave people a feeling of having no weakness to exploit.


    At this instant, Zhao Chenggan and the long spear fused into one.


    The next attack was an earth-shattering attack!


    "It''s . . . It''s Spear Shadow Carnage! My god. I heard that Seventh Prince has already not used this move in front of outsiders for many years!"


    "This was the self-created ultimate skill that Seventh Prince became famed for! I heard that back then, he merely relied on this one move to consecutively defeat over a dozen first-rate families'' pinnacle geniuses, and finally he fought to a draw with Shangguan Lingyun! Ever since then, the number one position of Shangguan Lingyun and him became established!"


    "Heh heh, today is really an eye-opener! This is the pinnacle battle of the Fierce Gale World''s junior generation! Missing out on today, one would have to wait until who knows when!"


    At this time, everyone seemed to have already forgotten what the original objective of this spouse finding martial competition was, and everyone was lost in this pinnacle battle.


    Facing someone such as Zhao Chenggan, Ye Yuan''s expression was also a never before as grave.


    Ye Yuan was self-confident but not conceited. Zhao Chenggan was indeed the most powerful foe that he had encountered up to this date!


    The current Zhao Chenggan was akin to a fiend god descending.


    A simple starting stance was actually utilized to such a miraculous realm by him. One could see that Zhao Chenggan''s comprehension towards the path of the spear had already reached an extremely profound realm.


    If his conjectures were correct, the true intent that Zhao Chenggan comprehended was precisely related to the spear.


    Ye Yuan knew the terror of this spear and would obviously not slight it.


    Only to see him pointing to the skies with his sword, his figure transforming into nine figures. It was precisely the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art: Nine Swords Stance!


    Ye Yuan had already not used the Nine Swords Stance for a long time. Compared to the Thousand Flowing Petals, its power was indeed slightly weaker.


    But the Nine Swords Stance also had merits that the Thousand Flowing Petals could not match up to, and that was hard to capture movement technique as well as powerful singular offensive might!


    The Thousand Flowing Petals was the sort of sneaking in during the nighttime without making any sound, while the Nine Swords Stance was that sort of explosive style powerful!


    Furthermore, with Ye Yuan''s comprehension of the supreme true intent growing deeper by the day, his application of the Nine Swords Stance had a new addition.


    Not only was the Nine Swords Stance not eliminated, but it also became another one of Ye Yuan''s killing move instead!


    And today, the Nine Swords Stance saw the light of day yet again!


    "Tyrant Martial Howling Cloud Spear! Spear! Shadow! Carnage!" Zhao Chenggan enunciated each word.


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art: Nine Swords Stance!" At practically the same instant, Ye Yuan''s also uttered nonchalantly.


    The next moment, a shocking scene which left everyone staring with their mouths agape happened!


    On the stage, there were spear shadows and sword lights everywhere, leaving everyone unable to feast their eyes fully on it!


    Zhao Chenggan''s spear shadows were grand and boundless, overwhelming power and might!


    Ye Yuan''s sword lights dotted the skies like stars, being all-pervasive!


    Spear shadows and sword lights continuously clashed in the air, dissipating. They were colliding and dispersing continuously.


    The spear shadows and sword lights each occupied half of the platform. For a time, it was actually evenly-matched!


    "S-So strong! Is this the strength of pinnacle geniuses . . . ? Seriously too strong! In one breath, how many swords and spears do they want to unleash?!"


    "Seventh Prince''s spear shadows, if anybody else were standing on the stage, they would probably have countless holes pierced through already, right? Also, Ji Qing''s sword lights, what kind of martial technique is this? To actually release sword lights with nine phantom images at the same time. Could it be that these nine phantasms are all real bodies . . ."


    "Actually, from a certain degree, Ji Qing has already won! He''s a full major realm lower than His Highness, the Seventh Prince, and he actually fought to a draw with His Highness, the Seventh Prince. This shows that in terms of concepts comprehension, Ji Qing surpassed His Highness far too much! However . . . His Highness, the Seventh Prince, already comprehended true intent. What on earth did he, Ji Qing, comprehend?"


    Ye Yuan''s performance already completely surpassed everyone''s understanding.


    Martial artists who comprehended true intent were invincible existences among those of the same generation! Unless the opponent likewise comprehended true intent, otherwise, one would only get mauled.


    All along, it had only been Zhao Chenggan leaping ranks to challenge others. But today, he was forced to such an extent by Ye Yuan with Half-Step Sea Transformation Realm strength.


    Indeed, from a certain degree, he was already utterly defeated.


    Except that the result from a fight was never something that can be determined with certainty. The strong would not possibly pity the weak either. Once they stepped onto the stage, one would only see the outcome and not look at the process.


    The advantage of Zhao Chenggan''s realm was reflected very quickly. He launched spear after spear wildly, squandering his essence energy.


    The balance on the stage was broken, only to see those power spear shadows gradually overshadow the sword lights!


    Zhao Chenggan actually became more valiant as he fought. The unleashing of spears became increasingly faster too!


    The spear shadows continuously engulfed the sword lights, gradually reducing Ye Yuan''s boundary!


    Seeing this scene, Xiao Ruyan was practically on the verge of suffocating. Her fingernails already sunk deep into the flesh, cutting into her palm. But she was oblivious.


    Very soon, spear shadows occupied the greater half of the platform. Ye Yuan''s defense radius only had an extremely small piece left!


    Everyone held their breaths. Once the spear shadows breached the sword lights, Ye Yuan''s outcome would be being impaled by spear shadows!


    "Mustn''t have anything happen! Mus . . ." Xiao Ruyan''s tears failed to live up to her expectations and flowed down once more.

 429 Nine Swords Return to One, Half-Moon Slash!

    On a corner tower at the far end of the plaza, two slightly aged silhouettes were currently watching the great battle on the stage.


    One person was poised and elegant, possessing a remarkable aura of kings. It was actually a peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artist!


    The other person''s strength was slightly inferior, but he also had middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm strength!


    Such characters naturally had exceedingly high statuses in the capital.


    If a character like Xiao Changfeng were present, they would surely be able to recognize that these two people were precisely two characters who could summon wind and call rain in the capital: Shangguan Family''s Family Head, Shangguan Wenrui, and the Xue Family''s Family Head, Xue Hongfei!


    "Hong Fei, what are your thoughts?" Shangguan Wenrui opened his mouth to ask as his gaze was staring intently at the spear shadows and sword lights in the distance.


    "Zhao Chenggan''s strength grows with each passing day. He''s already much stronger compared to the last time he publically made a move!" Xue Hongfei said.


    "I''m not asking about that. Ji Qing possesses the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations. Don''t you have any thoughts at all?" Shangguan Wenrui said coolly.


    Xue Hongfei sighed lightly and said, "I was also taken aback from shock when I saw earlier. But . . . this shouldn''t have been stolen from the Xue Family. Ji Qing''s attainments in the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations are even greater than mine! This disciple that Star Abyss took in is simply powerful until it makes people despair!"


    Shangguan Wenrui shot a nonchalant glance at Xue Honfei and said, "I heard that a young man from the Endless World infiltrated into the capital. And this young man once killed the Lan Family Tribe''s middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artist in the Level 5 gale region with First Level Crystal Formation Realm strength!"


    Xue Hongfei''s expression froze briefly. "You mean that . . . Ji Qing is that youth? Impossible! I also suspected this matter before. But the news from the Xiao Family says that Xiao Changfeng tested Ji Qing''s divine soul before. He''s indeed somebody from the Fierce Gale World!"


    "I naturally know that. But don''t you feel that this young man is very fishy? In our Fierce Gale World, other than the Wind Emperor, who else can groom such a monstrous genius?" Shangguan Wenrui said coolly.


    "This . . ." Xue Hongfei thought carefully. There really was something not quite right.


    Xue Hongfei pondered for a moment and seemed to have thought of something. He startled awake abruptly and looked at Shangguan Wenrui in disbelief.


    Shangguan Wenrui gave a faint smile and knew that Xue Hongfei understood his meaning.


    "Brother Wenrui is far-sighted, not what Hongfei can match up to!"


    Shangguan Wenrui said with a smile, "Zhao Tianyin has reigned for many years and is no longer far from ascending to the Divine Realm. The battle for the next Wind Emperor has already gradually surfaced. There is bound to be a fight between a dragon and a tiger between Yun-er and Zhao Chenggan. However, this suddenly emerged Ji Qing thoroughly upset the initially stalemated situation! If today, he . . ."


    Xue Hongfei took a look at the intense fighting in the distance. Ye Yuan''s situation was already in imminent danger.


    "However . . . this situation currently, it''s probably very hard for Ji Qing to be ascertained of victory, right?"


    "Hur hur, maybe not!"


    . . . . . .


    Spear shadows which blotted out the sky and earth repressed Ye Yuan''s nine figures into a very tiny radius area.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was akin to a small boat hanging by a thread in the ocean, possibly overturned by the tides and winds at any moment.


    But Ye Yuan''s sword lights were still not the slightest bit slow!


    Sword light versus spear shadow was at a disadvantage initially.


    The sword emphasized grace and agility, while the spear stressed on momentum akin to 30 thousand catties.


    Plus, Ye Yuan''s realm was not the same with Zhao Chenggan''s. Him being suppressed was also something very normal.


    "Haha! I''ll see how you will hide! Go and die!" Zhao Chenggan was unbelievably excited right now.


    As long as he broke Ye Yuan''s sword lights, he was dead for sure!


    While talking, Zhao Chenggan mustered essence energy even more feverishly. The spear shadows became even more frenzied!


    Just a little bit more and Ye Yuan''s sword lights were about to be broken. However, Ye Yuan was still expressionless, as if he was oblivious to the danger.


    The defense circle became increasingly smaller, tinier and tinier.


    Finally, those countless spear shadows finally broke the limits, stabbing ruthlessly towards Ye Yuan''s nine figures!


    "Ahh!"


    Many people gave a shocked exclamation as if seeing the outcome of Ye Yuan staining the stage in blood.


    Right at the critical moment, a dazzling light suddenly blasted out from the spear shadows!


    "Nine Swords Return to One, Half-Moon Slash!" Ye Yuan''s voice rang out faintly as if giving that streak of light an enormous power.


    The spear shadows which filled the skies actually could not inch forward anymore!


    Those overwhelmingly powerful spear shadows actually gradually subsided under this streak of light!


    Chi!


    A half-moon shaped sword light sweeping along with tremendous amounts of energy disperse those innumerable spear shadows.


    And not only did the charging momentum of the sword light not diminish, but it also became increasingly faster instead!


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Chenggan''s expression changed dramatically.


    How could he still live if he was slashed by this gigantic half-moon shaped sword light?


    In a panic, how could Zhao Chenggan still be bothered with displaying Spear Shadow Carnage? He hurriedly pulled back his spear and moved sideways!


    The sword light swept past his body with a whoosh. That threatening sword qi shredded Zhao Chenggan''s protective essence energy into tattered bits.


    It was also that Zhao Chenggan''s reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, he would be split into two parts right now already!


    Looking at the ground again, the platform already had a deep ravine slashed into it by this colossal half-moon shaped sword light with scattered pieces of rock everywhere, looking very horrific.


    Below the platform, it was dead quiet, as if they were hit by an immobility talisman.


    Zhao Chenggan''s body was stinging with fiery pain. Although that sword qi was unable to harm his foundation, it gave him considerable wounds.


    Each injury was reminding him that he had just brushed past the god of death.


    Zhao Chenggan was looking at Ye Yuan rather blankly, somewhat befuddled by the current situation.


    He clearly had victory in grasp already. Why did the situation suddenly had a 180-degree turnabout, hitting him from heaven to hell all at once?


    "Hey, did you see what happened just now clearly?"


    "D-Didn''t see clearly. My eyes were freaking blinded!"


    "This . . . Was this a freaking skill released by a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist? I think that this skill, even if Soul Sea Realm powerhouses were standing opposite, the person would also be cleaved into two halves, right?"


    After a long time, waves of commotions and exclamations sounded from below the platform.


    The shock that this attack dealt him was too intense!


    "Haha! Leaving no route for escape so that one would fight desperately to win! This absolute strike back is too beautiful!" Shangguan Wenrui praised.


    "Accumulating momentum with the sword, flourishing with extreme decline! This boy is truly monstrous! This path of amassing momentum is patented by spear users. But, it was unleashed by Ye Yuan! This slap is really resounding!" Xue Hongfei sighed with admiration.


    "If this child is really an Endless World native, he would truly be our Fierce Gale World''s calamitous disaster! No matter what, this child can''t be kept!" Shangguan Wenrui suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Zhao Chenggan who was still suffering from shock and said with a faint smile, "Ran pretty quick, eh? This move today, consider it as teaching you for free of charge. When you go back, you got to comprehend it well!"


    Even if Zhao Chenggan''s face was thick, he was flushing with shame currently.


    He naturally understood what Ye Yuan was talking about. This slap was really resounding in his ears!


    Ye Yuan''s Half-Moon Slash was actually born from that final attack when facing off against Tian Yu. Ye Yuan fused it into the Nine Swords Stance.


    But if he unleashed this attack right from the start, its power would be far from as powerful as right now.


    The process of sword light clashing against spear shadows was actually the process of Ye Yuan accumulating momentum all along.


    Only after waiting until the sword light was broken and Ye Yuan released all of the amassed sword intent, was there such a matchlessly powerful attack!

 430 Certain Death?

    Zhao Chenggan''s face turned red. He wanted to refute but did not know where to begin.


    The most important thing about using a spear was accumulating momentum. How could he possibly not know?


    Spear Shadow Carnage, the power of this move was extremely great. His starting stance was actually accumulating momentum.


    Yet, it was precisely because this move was extremely powerful that when Zhao Chenggan wanted to merged these innumerable spear ''momentums'' into the final spear, he could not do it no matter what.


    But something that he, this spear playing user, could not do, Ye Yuan who used a sword did it. This could not be said to not be a kind of irony.


    This match today undoubtedly gave Zhao Chenggan a genuine battle with immense referencing value.


    As long as he went back to study it in detail, perhaps he might really be able to fuse the accumulated momentum into Spear Shadow Carnage one day.


    "Ji Qing, don''t you get cocky! Our fight has only just begun! Just now . . . was only merely a warmup!" Zhao Chenggan said with a black face. Clearly, he was truly enraged this time.


    "Haha, of course I know that it''s only starting now. Earlier, I let you dodge that move. Next time . . . there won''t be such good luck," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    "Humph! That''s also what I want to say to you!" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold snort.


    This exchange made everyone became speechless.


    "That . . . That was just a warmup? If they really fought, wouldn''t it tear down this entire plaza?"


    "The might of geniuses is indeed not what the likes of us can make wild guesses about. Similarly, a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist, a hundred of me added together is not Seventh Prince''s match either."


    "Most importantly, a hundred of you added up is not even as powerful as that one Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!"


    "He''s a monster. I really want to see where his limits lie!"


    Ye Yuan''s potential was seemingly limitless. Each time you thought that this was his limit, he would break through his limits again the next fight, reaching a brand new height.


    Now, the surrounding spectators were long unconcerned about who would win and who would lose and was also indifferent to who Xiao Ruyan would marry in the end.


    What they were most concerned with was just what extent Ye Yuan could perform to!


    Could Ye Yuan defeat the number one expert, Zhao Chenggang, and replace him to become the Fierce Gale World''s rookie king?!


    In the foreseeable future, as long as Ye Yuan did not die today, the future position of Wind Emperor was his for sure!


    . . . . . .


    Under everyone''s eyes, Zhao Chenggan pointed his spear at Ye Yuan again!


    This time, he actually raised his spear with one hand over his head, while the other hand with his fingers as swords, pointing them at Ye Yuan!


    Very soon, an abnormal atmosphere started to undulate out.


    Everybody had yet to recover from Ye Yuan''s attack earlier. But at this time, was forcefully pulled back to reality by this sort of peculiar atmosphere.


    Zhao Chenggan stood there like a statue without moving a hint for a long time.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. Regarding Zhao Chenggan''s next attack, he instinctively felt out of the ordinary.


    Not just Ye Yuan, practically all the martial artists at the plaza could feel it!


    "What martial technique is this? Why does it make me feel like the air is about to solidify? Wasn''t His Highness, the Seventh Prince''s strongest move Spear Shadow Carnage? What martial technique is this?"


    "Are you a pig? How long has it already been since Seventh Prince used martial techniques in front of everyone? Such a long time, did you think that His Highness, the Seventh Prince, would remain marching on the spot?"


    "Yeah! Most likely, between Shangguan Lingyun and Seventh Prince, they are unaware of each other''s depths now. But without question, these two person''s strength is unfathomable right now!"


    In the plaza, martial artists with slightly weaker strength all felt that breathing was rather difficult. But that terror in their hearts could not be repressed no matter what.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan suddenly vanished from where he stood!


    Zhao Chenggan''s body which had not moved for a long while finally moved slightly.


    Only to see his upper body rotate slightly, but his sword finger turned to another position.


    The next instant, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared again, and Zhao Chenggan''s spear and sword finger were still pointing at Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together once more.


    This probing action earlier finally let Ye Yuan confirm that he was totally locked on by Zhao Chenggan!


    "Big Brother, what is this move of His Highness''s? Why does it give people such a repressing feeling?" Shangguan Lingxue''s brows were also tightly locked. Evidently, she felt rather uncomfortable too.


    Shangguan Lingyun''s expression was solemn as he said, "The last time I fought with him was already a matter of three years ago! Looks like these three years, he wasn''t idling either! Ji Qing is in danger!"


    "What?" Shangguan Lingxue exclaimed in shock. "How can you be so certain? Ji Qing he is so strong. He can''t possibly be in trouble, right?"


    Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said, "If Ji Qing had Sea Transformation Realm strength, even if it was only First Level Sea Transformation Realm, breaking this move isn''t hard. But sadly, even after using Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, he only has a strength at the half-step Sea Transformation Realm."


    "Why is this so? I feel that realm doesn''t seem to be that important to Ji Qing! Half-step Sea Transformation and Sea Transformation Realm might perhaps be a huge difference to others, but to Ji Qing, it doesn''t seem to make any difference, right?'' Shangguan Lingxue asked in puzzlement.


    Shangguan Linyun shook his head again. "The more so for showdowns between experts, the more important realm is! Zhao Chenggan and my realm have always been more or less the same. Neither shook the other off. Don''t you find that strange?"


    Only with Shangguan Lingyun saying that did Shangguan Lingxue felt rather odd.


    Although these two people''s strength were well-matched, it could not be that they were also walking together in terms of cultivation in essence energy, right?


    These few years, the two of them virtually always broke through realms at the same time!


    Recalling now, it was really quite strange.


    Shangguan Lingyun continued talking, "Martial artists'' realm is external. Everyone can see at a glance, and it simply can''t be concealed. But comprehension towards concepts is internal. Each day that we don''t face off, I''ll not know how much he comprehended. But I can confirm that even if there a gap between the two of us, it''s only just between millimeters too. Hence, the two of us would have a mutual understanding to maintain a similar realm. We all know that once one side''s breakthrough speeds up, the other side will also risk his life to breakthrough. Because as long as one side breaks through first, the other wouldn''t be a match at all!"


    "But even though Ji Qing''s realm isn''t high, he still hold the advantage earlier!" Shangguan Lingxue said uncertainly.


    Shangguan Lingyun said with a sigh, "Between Ji Qing and Zhao Chenggan, it is not as balanced as between Zhao Chenggan and me. The reason why Ji Qing can persist until now is by relying entirely on his concepts comprehension, which is a cut above the rest! And his greatest shortfall is his realm!"


    Pausing for a moment, Shangguan Lingyun continued again, "Just now, Ji Qing already probed Zhao Chenggan. He''s unable to shake off Zhao Chenggan''s vital energy lock-on! With Ye Yuan''s concepts comprehension, as long as he has a Sea Transformation Realm strength, he can absolutely get rid of Zhao Chenggan''s lock-on! But now . . . he must forcefully resist this blow from Zhao Chenggan head-on! And forcefully withstanding this attack face on, even I will die for sure!"


    "What? Even you''ll die for sure too? This . . . How is this possible?" Shangguan Lingxue turned pale with fright.


    Even the Shangguan Lingyun who was ranked equally with Zhao Chenggan said that it was a certain death. Just how horrifying was the power of this attack?!

 431 Terrifying Battle!

    "There''s nothing that is impossible! The offensive power of a spear is extremely strong in the first place. Zhao Chenggan comprehended true intent too. If my conjectures are right, this move should have encompassed all of his comprehension towards attack and is no trifling matter. Of course, if I were his opponent, I obviously wouldn''t wait foolishly for him to come and stab me. When it comes down to it, Ji Qing is still too disadvantageous in terms of realm," Shangguan Lingyun said confidently.


    "Then, do you think that Ji Qing can ward off this blow?" Shangguan Lingxue asked curiously.


    "I don''t know! I completely can''t figure out Ji Qing''s ins and outs. In comparison to Zhao Chenggan, this is a more terrifying adversary. Because you''ll never know what kind of surprise he''s going to bring you next!" Shangguan Lingyung said with a grave face.


    Although Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan had already not had a frontal battle for a long time, everyone grew up together and could more or less estimate each other''s strength.


    But Ji Qing was different. Since standing on the stage, Ye Yuan''s means had been emerging in an endless stream!


    Divine soul attack, absolute defense, Thousand Flowing Petals, and Half-Moon Slash. Even the Xue Family''s ultimate technique, Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, Ye Yuan used it even better than the Xue Family''s Family Head.


    No one knew what kind of perverse move Ye Yuan would use next.


    . . . . . .


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and actually closed his eyes!


    This scene gave everyone a huge shock.


    "What is Ji Qing doing here? Gave up on resisting?"


    "Maybe . . . he''s preparing some move?"


    "Prepare what ass move?! Don''t you see that he didn''t maneuver any essence energy at all? Seventh Prince''s next move is bound to be an extremely deadly attack. He''s still not launching any martial technique now. Isn''t this waiting for death?"


    Zhao Chenggan was also slightly stunned when he saw this scene. But this did not hamper him from continuing to strengthen his momentum!


    The essence of this move from Zhao Chenggan was momentum!


    He could not release Spear Shadow Carnage''s accumulated momentum, but it did not mean that his comprehension on momentum was a total mess.


    On the contrary, in comprehension on momentum, Zhao Chenggan was extremely formidable!


    It also because of this that he created this current move!


    The momentum of Spear Shadow Carnage was too hard to amass.


    "Heh heh, you know that you can''t avoid this hit so you gave up on resisting? But I won''t show mercy!" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold laugh in his heart.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. A majestic aura undulated out with him as the center!


    "Are you trying to force me to have a head-on confrontation with you here? Fine, as you wish!" Ye Yuan''s calm voice entered the ears of everyone present here.


    This voice was so composed that it made people feel hard to get close to as if Ye Yuan was a person from another world!


    "This . . . This is Heart Like Still Water! That''s right! This is absolutely Heart Like Still Water! The heart realm that even Zhao Chenggan is unable to comprehend, this boy actually comprehended it at the Crystal Formation Realm!" Shangguan Wenrui who had been calm the entire time finally showed an astonished look.


    "Truly unbelievable! He''s only sixteen. Heart Like Still Water, there might not even be one in a hundred million martial artists that can comprehend it! How on earth did he do it?" Xue Hongfei said with a vicissitude of emotion.


    Under anticipating eyes, Ye Yuan''s two palms was gradually brought up from the sides. Two distinctly different essence energy attributes extended out from his two palms!


    A miniature whirlwind was held in the palm of his left hand. The whirlwind was currently expanding rapidly, gradually taking on the features of a wind dragon!


    A small cluster of pale yellow flames was held in the center of his right hand. The flame grew increasingly vigorous as it blazed, gradually forming a fire dragon!


    Ye Yuan was currently mobilizing heaven and earth essence energy frenziedly right now!


    Half-step Sea Transformation could only mobilize heaven and earth essence energy in an extremely small radius area. But to Ye Yuan, Half-Step Sea Transformation was already enough to let his affinity towards heaven and earth essence energy reach an exceptionally terrifying extent.


    Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Still Water State in order to maximize this affinity to muster even more essence energy!


    At this instant, Ye Yuan was also already staking it all on one last throw!


    Zhao Chenggan''s momentum was still in the midst of rising rapidly!


    Right then, Zhao Chenggan''s aura finally rose to its peak!


    "Tyrant Martial Howling Cloud Spear, Glimpse . . . of . . . Heaven!" Zhao Chenggan gave a low cry.


    A spear pierced out, sweeping along with boundless heaven & earth essence energy; violent to the extreme!


    Where it passed by, sand and stone were flung all around! The entire stage was already pulverized to dust by his one spear!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s palms pushed. Two small dragons gushed forth, instantaneously tangling together!


    "Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon!" Ye Yuan roared.


    In the process of the intertwining, the two small dragons actually gradually merged into one, becoming a colossal dragon of wind and fire!


    The gigantic dragon roared as it swept over towards Zhao Chenggan. It actually gave off a series of dragon roars!


    Xiao Changfeng''s expression changed abruptly, and he yelled out, "Quick! Quickly dodge!"


    Actually, no need for him to shout. Everyone below the stage already noticed something off.


    These two people''s moves were overly terrifying. Once they clashed together, they completely dare not imagine what would happen!


    Current, the entire platform had already turned into fine powder. Blast waves rolled out in all directions wave after wave!


    Looking at the distinguished guests on the stand, they had long left their seats.


    While the audiences were thrown into confusion, the two people''s attacks collided together!


    Rumble!


    An explosion sound which reverberated through the skies sounded out, shocking until everyone''s eardrums hurt.


    A dazzling light spread out like the sun, blinding the people until they could not open their eyes at all!


    "Quickly run! Ahh!" A martial artists thought that he had retreated to a safe distance. But he quickly discovered something wrong and was sent flying by the enormous air blast.


    "Arggh!"


    "Arrhhh!"


    . . . . . .


    Miserable cries rose after one another. Only to see martial artists being sent flying by the enormous air blast one by one.


    The power of a single attack was utterly appalling!


    "What . . . What on earth happened? What the hell did those two people do?! Ouch! So painful!"


    "Is this freaking hell the battle of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists? When were Sea Transformation Realm martial artists powerful to this extent?"


    "What happened to those two people? Who in the world won?"


    "Don''t know. I completely can''t see at all! That blinding light has already persisted for over a dozen breaths and actually hasn''t dissipated yet!"


    Many people squinted, wanting to see what happened inside that bundle of light. But they only saw a vast expanse of white light and could not see anything at all.


    Several more breaths passed. The white light finally dissipated slowly. The first thing that reflected in the eyes of the audience was a stretch of ruins.


    The platform had already disappeared entirely, and what replaced it was a huge pit!


    In the huge pit, Zhao Chenggan stood with his spear. That appearance was very intimidating.


    And opposite him, Ye Yuan was struck out over a hundred feet away, his clothing tattered, and injuries all over his body, looking very alarming.


    Once Xiao Ruyan saw, her eyes immediately turned red!


    She pulled down the head veil with a grab and rushed in front of Ye Yuan like flying. Propping Ye Yuan up, tears flowed down with a pitter-patter.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were tightly shut, his complexion pale white, looking feeble to the extreme.


    "Young Master Ji, a-are you alright?"

 432 Recruiting Disciple!

    Ye Yuan had an anguished look and did not react in the slightest to Xiao Ruyan''s words.


    Xiao Ruyan was very anxious and was at a loss on what to do for a moment. Hugging Ye Yuan, she cried extremely heart-brokenly.


    "Little Junior Brother!" Shi Haoran also panicked when he saw the situation and hurriedly ran in front of Ye Yuan.


    Shi Haoran hastily searched for Ye Yuan''s pulse. Only seeing that Ye Yuan just fainted for the time being did he feel relieved and heaved a long breath.


    "Rest assured. Little Junior Brother just received a huge impact and fainted unconscious," Shi Haoran said with Xiao Ruyan.


    Concern led to panic. Xiao Ruyan herself was also an alchemist. Earlier, she actually forgot to read Ye Yuan''s pulse.


    "Al-Alright? That''s really great!" Xiao Ruyan cried from joy.


    But Shi Haoran frowned and said, "Alright? Does he look alright to you? This injury of his, he probably has to lie in bed for a period of time!"


    At present, Ye Yuan looked very miserable. Ignoring external wounds, his internal organs suffered a tremendous impact too.


    If there were no medicinal pills to assist in healing, a single mishap and he would die. How could he possibly be fine?


    Shi Haoran''s gaze involuntarily looked towards Zhao Chenggan hatefully. It was only to see that Zhao Chenggan was staring dead straight at Ye Yuan currently; his expression was without a modicum of joy.


    "Sigh . . . Ji Qing lost in the end! I even thought that the number one throne of the capital would be displaced today. Who knew that His Highness, the Seventh Prince, is actually powerful to such an extent already."


    "Ji Qing is still unable to create a miracle in the end! But for him to be able to perform to this step, it''s already very heaven-defying! Give him another one or two years, and he''ll surpass His Highness, the Seventh Prince, in all aspects!"


    "This battle, Ji Qing had a moral victory! That final blow from Seventh Prince, even Soul Sea Realm martial artists might not be able to receive it! Ji Qing is just a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, but he fought to such an extent with Seventh Prince! In my heart, he''s the victor!"


    Strong people always garnered people''s respect. Ye Yuan''s performance had already obtained the recognition of the vast majority of the people present.


    In their hearts, for Ye Yuan to lose out slightly to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Zhao Chenggan with strength a major realm lower, he did not count as a failure no matter what.


    Xiao Changfeng came close and took a look at the heavily wounded Ye Yuan, and looked at Zhao Chenggan again. For a time, he did not know how he should announce the results.


    "This match, Seventh Prince . . ."


    "Cough, cough, cough . . ."


    Xiao Changfeng said halfway but was interrupted by Ye Yuan''s violent coughing sounds.


    Xiao Ruyan was overjoyed seeing the situation and said, "Ji Qing! You finally woke up! Y-You scared me to death!"


    As she said, Xiao Ruyan cried again.


    Ye Yuan smiled dryly and said, "G-Good disciple, d-don''t cry anymore. Bawl your eyes out, and you won''t look pretty anymore! W-What Master promised you . . . is all accomplished!"


    Xiao Ruyan had a doubtful face as she said, "J-Ji Qing, you clearly already lost!"


    "H-Haha, I said that I was going to pummel him. H-How can I lose to him?" Ye Yuan''s laughing affected his wounds, hurting him until he contorted his face in agony.


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when the expression of Zhao Chenggan opposite changed. With a puff, a large mouthful of blood spewed out, and he fell down backward!


    This scene was too sudden. Everyone was caught unprepared!


    "This . . . What''s going on here?"


    "Didn''t His Highness, the Seventh Prince won? Isn''t this plot reversing too quickly?"


    "Can it be . . . Ji Qing really created a miracle and became the number one person among the capital''s junior generation from here on forth?"


    "My God! With his present realm, who can surpass him in the future?"


    All at once, the entire plaza exploded. Sounds of exclamations rose and fell.


    This scene was too inconceivable!


    Ji Qing was clearly already beaten until heavily injured and dying. In a twinkle, the Seventh Prince could not make it anymore. Instead, Ye Yuan laughed happily. Although he looked very tragic, he was not fearful for his life.


    And this match, as long as Ye Yuan won, he would be the right and proper capital''s number one person!


    The future position of wind emperor was without a doubt his!


    Such glory was not even worth mentioning to Ye Yuan. But to the Fierce Gale World martial artists, it was paramount!


    In everyone''s understanding, the Wind Emperor would surely be born between Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chenggan, the two of them.


    But now, Ye Yuan appeared and utterly upset the entire arrangement!


    Under Xiao Ruyan''s aid, Ye Yuan consumed a medicinal pill that he refined himself. His injuries took a turn for the better very swiftly.


    While he was still unable to stand up, his complexion already became rosy, and his essence energy was also in the midst of gradual recovery.


    Such recovery speed made everyone exclaim in shock again.


    "Family Head Xiao, announce the results!" Ye Yuan urged.


    "This . . ." Xiao Changfeng looked at the Zhao Chenggan lying on the ground and did not know what to do for a moment.


    Ye Yuan said with a slight pant, "His dantian is already damaged by me. It will be hard to have any advancement in this lifetime. So . . . you can announce the results now!"


    "What?! Dantian damaged?!" Xiao Changfeng nearly jumped up.


    Another thunderbolt out of the blue!


    The insufferably arrogant Seventh Prince actually became a cripple?


    This . . . Once His Majesty, the Wind Emperor knows of this matter, how enraged would he be?


    "Ji . . . Ji Qing! Y-You''re framing me up, digging a pit for the Xiao Family!" Xiao Changfeng stomped in a rage.


    But Ye Yuan did not care a hoot as he said, "With my Qixia Mountain backing you up, what are you scared of? Oh right, there''s still something I forgot to tell you."


    As he said, Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Ruyan and said with a faint smile, "Good disciple, come . . . I, Ji Qing, in front of the many heroes in the capital today, take you in as a disciple! Acknowledge Master now!"


    "What? A-Acknowledge you as her master?!" Xiao Changfeng felt like his brain was a little lacking.


    When did the agreed upon spouse finding martial competition suddenly become acknowledging master?


    Xiao Changfeng stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and was so furious that his entire body was trembling.


    This move from Ye Yuan was thoroughly cutting the Xiao Family away from the royal family!


    Henceforth, the Xiao Family would have to depend on the Qixia Mountain lineage. Or else, they would die without a burial ground!


    "What? Does Family Head Xiao think that I, Ji Qing, can''t teach your daughter?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiao Changfeng looked at Ye Yuan and was speechless for a long time. Only after a long while did he wave his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! My Xiao Family swore fealty to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, for generation after generation. Who knew that when it reached my, Xiao Changfeng''s, hands, it actually fell to such a plight! The story is played out, and the wood has become a boat. What else do I have to say? Ruyan . . . acknowledge . . . acknowledge him as your master then!"


    Xiao Changfeng took a deep look at his daughter and was filled with a vicissitude of emotions.


    He never would have thought that today''s spouse finding martial competition would actually develop into such a conclusion.


    Obtaining her father''s permission, the final trace of kink in Xiao Ruyan''s heart also vanished like mist and smoke. At once, she bowed solemnly towards Ye Yuan.


    "Master is high above. Receive disciple Xiao Ruyan''s bow!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Haha! Good disciple! To think that my, Ji Qing''s, first disciple, is actually a girl as exquisite as a flower! Master''s present strength is meager and doesn''t have anything good to give to you either. This jade slip is used as your master acknowledgment gift. Take it!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan passed Xiao Ruyan a jade slip.

 433 Identity Exposed!

    Xiao Ruyan received the jade slip hesitantly; her expression was rather vacant.


    She agreed to acknowledge Ye Yuan as her master with ulterior motives, and it was not to really learn something.


    She did not think that Ye Yuan really prepared a master acknowledgment gift for her.


    "Take a look. Master prepared a set of soul cultivation incantation and two sets of refining arts for you. You have to study them well in the future," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Xiao Ruyan sunk her divine sense into the jade slip as told and started to browse.


    This scene looked extremely comical in everyone''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul realm was more or less the same as Xiao Ruyan''s; both High-Rank Alchemy Grandmasters. Now, Ye Yuan wanted to take a girl whose strength was relative to his as his disciple. No matter how one looked at it, it was somewhat odd.


    "What do you guys Ye Yuan is playing at here? Xiao Ruyan is one of the capital''s dual absolutes. Furthermore, you all look at that concerned look of Xiao Ruyan''s when Ji Qing was injured just now. Clearly in love with him. He actually . . . only took her in to be a disciple?"


    "Aggravating me to death! Xiao Ruyan is my goddess! Ji Qing is already the capital''s number one now, and he actually dares to trample on my goddess''s dignity! I . . . I want to duel him!"


    "Screw off you! With that strength of yours, it isn''t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth! Still want to duel! However . . . Ji Qing''s action is really unimaginably weird. He himself is just a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster. How is he going to teach disciples?"


    "In my opinion, this Ji Qing thinks too highly of himself! Even though he''s Sovereign Star Abyss''s disciple, to talk about giving pointers in alchemy to the Alchemy Grandmaster Xiao Ruyan who is his peer, he probably isn''t qualified enough yet, right? I''m very curious though, about what are the things inside his jade slip."


    "Heh heh, what can there be? Simply his own cultivation methods and refining methods. Just that these things, his comprehension is already slightly stronger than Xiao Ruyan, right?"


    Master teaching disciples was not a simple imparting of cultivation methods. It was more so to clarify doubts for disciples and give pointers to various problems encountered during the process of cultivation.


    Especially alchemy skills. It was deep and profound; hard to learn and hard to be proficient.


    Everybody knew that Ye Yuan''s was amazing at alchemy. But regardless of how incredible he was, he was only an Alchemy Grandmaster. Regarding higher realm things, how much could he comprehend?


    Imparting soul cultivation methods and refining methods a little and being someone''s master was truly a bit too child''s play.


    And currently, Xiao Ruyan''s brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression gradually becoming solemn.


    "Ji . . . Ji . . ." Xiao Ruyan was clearly not yet used to called Ye Yuan master.


    "Call Master!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiao Ruyan sucked in a deep breath and called out, "Master, this . . . Master''s acknowledgment gift is too precious! I . . ."


    "Haha. You''re my disciple. Giving pointers in your cultivation is within Master''s duty, what precious? From today onwards, you''ll cultivate the soul cultivation method on the jade slip. But you must promise master that this method absolutely mustn''t be divulged! Only you alone can cultivate it! Otherwise . . . even its flouting teachings, Master . . . will clean the household!" Talking until the back, Ye Yuan''s voice became extremely stern.


    Actually, what Ye Yuan gave Xiao Ruyan was the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation as well as the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique and the Tri-Origins Samsara Art cultivation skills.


    But what he gave Xiao Ruyan was only the first five levels of the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation; enough for her to cultivate to Peak Alchemy Sovereign!


    Moreover, in the jade slip were extremely detailed annotations about the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantations and the two types of skills. They were all Ye Yuan''s notes of his understanding.


    With these things, no matter how poor one''s talent was, cultivating to Alchemy King Ream was not an issue at all.


    With Xiao Ruyan''s talent, cultivating to Peak Alchemy Sovereign was only a matter of time.


    In truth, this introduction gift, Ye Yuan considered it carefully too.


    Just talking about talent, while Xiao Ruyan was not considered at the zenith, she was already pretty decent.


    Xiao Ruyan''s intentions, Ye Yuan was naturally very clear. Furthermore, through this period of living together, Ye Yuan could also trust Xiao Ruyan''s character.


    Since that was the case, why not he be a bit more generous and pass down his mantle?


    Killing Ji Canglan was a near certain death mission. Even Ye Yuan did not dare guarantee that he could succeed for sure either.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was about to leave the Fierce Gale World right away. Towards this eldest disciple of his, he could not be shabby no matter what.


    Hence, he passed these three things to Xiao Ruyan.


    Presumably, with these things, Xiao Ruyan ascending to the Divine Realm in the future would not pose a problem.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s warning, Xiao Ruyan''s expression changed too and knew how great the weight of this jade slip in her hand was.


    Xiao Ruyan was an expert too. Sweeping the contents of the jade slip over, she knew the value of this jade slip.


    She acknowledged him as her master was to get close to Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan really took her to be his legacy successor.


    After musing, Xiao Ruyan nodded solemnly and said, "R-Rest assured, Master. Disciple will engrave the contents inside the jade slip into my divine soul to slowly understand and absolutely won''t reveal it to a third person to know!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, this matter is done. Master''s injuries aren''t light and still need to head back and recuperate a bout. You follow me back to Qixia Mountain then."


    Xiao Ruyan nodded slightly and actually really supported Ye Yuan like a disciple and left.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly at Shi Haoran. The party was just about to leave when all of a sudden, a dozen over figures descended from the skies and blocked their path.


    The one in front was an old man with age much alike Star Abyss''s.


    And looking from the aura coming off of this person''s body, he was actually a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist!


    "Ding Liang! What are you here for?" When Shi Haoran saw the arrival, his brows involuntarily knitted.


    The old man called Ding Liang did not pay attention to Shi Haoran and said indifferently, "The Dark Shadow Guards are handling affairs. Unrelated personnel quickly leave! Otherwise, kill without amnesty!"


    Ding Liang''s voice was not loud, but it spread out like a large bell. Every single person in the plaza heard it loud and clear!


    "Dark Shadow Guards! It''s actually the most mysterious Dark Shadow Guards under the Wind Emperor''s command!"


    "I-Is this the power of a sovereign level powerhouse? S-So powerful!"


    "What are you still standing there for? If you don''t want to die, quickly go! I heard that the Dark Shadow Guards have extremely high autonomy when handling matters and can execute on the spot before reporting! If we don''t leave, we''ll die a pointless death!"


    There were tens of thousands of people in the plaza. But currently, they retreated like tidewater.


    Very soon, in the vast plaza, only Ye Yuan''s group and Ding Liang''s group were left!


    "Ding Liang, what the hell are you doing?" Shi Haoran asked again unhappily.


    Although he was a full major realm lower than Ding Liang, in terms of status, he was not inferior to Ding Liang. Hence, he dared to directly call his name.


    Shi Haoran was the number one person under Star Abyss. Other than needing to give a disciple''s bow when facing the Wind Emperor, he could directly disregard other people.


    Ding Liang still did not answer. He took a look at the unconscious Zhao Chenggan not far away and his brows involuntarily furrowed. He asked Ye Yuan, "His Highness, the Seventh Prince, was defeated by you?"


    Not knowing why, since the beginning earlier, Ye Yuan''s eyelids kept twitching constantly and had an uneasy feeling.


    He had a feeling that this Ding Liang did not come with good intentions.


    Seeing Ding Liang pose a question, Ye Yuan said, "So what if yes? Can it be that you want to take revenge for him?"


    "Haha, taking revenge naturally won''t reach this old man''s turn! Ye Yuan, take a trip with me!" Ding Liang said with a light laugh.

 434 He’s My Little Junior Brother!

    Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed. But he had an indifferent look on his face as he said, "Are you talking to me? However, did you call the wrong name?"


    Ding Liang said expressionlessly, "I didn''t call the wrong name. You''re well aware in your heart. However . . . you actually defeated His Highness, the Seventh Prince, to this extent. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, most likely won''t let you return."


    Shi Haoran''s face fell as he said, "Ding Liang! You don''t say some things here that make neither head nor tails to confuse the public! Just spit out what you have to say! But if you want to touch Little Junior Brother, go past me first!"


    Ding Liang looked at Shi Haoran and said with a smile, "You call him as your little junior brother repeatedly. Do you know his true identity?"


    Shi Haoran said with a cold smile, "Your meaning is that Master Star Abyss is blind to take Little Junior Brother in as a disciple?"


    Ding Liang''s expression faltered slightly. Shi Haoran bringing out Star Abyss this great Buddha involuntarily made him have to reply carefully.


    Although Star Abyss''s realm was similar to his, he was a character that even the Wind Emperor dreaded!


    Moreover, Star Abyss being protective of his people was known to all. If one really infuriated him, he would do anything.


    "Of course I don''t have this meaning. But . . . maybe Lord Star Abyss is also kept in the dark?" Ding Liang obviously would not fall for it.


    "Humph! If Little Junior Brother really deceived Master Star Abyss, there will naturally be his elderly self to punish. When did it come to your Dark Shadow Guards to carry out a superfluous action? Little Junior Brother, let''s go!" Shi Haoran said with a cold snort.


    As he said, Shi Haoran brought his fellow apprentices and prepared to circle around Ding Liang to leave.


    How could Ding Ling let them go? With a slight shift in footsteps, he blocked in front of them again.


    Shi Haoran''s brows furrowed and his tone gradually chilled. "Ding Liang, are you bent on instigating antagonism between the Royal Family and the Alchemist Association?"


    Ding Liang shook his head and said, "Alchemy King Shi doesn''t need to be like this. Ding Liang is also here on orders. Your little junior brother is a spy who had infiltrated from the Endless World. This point is already conclusive beyond all doubt! If Alchemy King Shi doesn''t believe, you can ask him yourself!"


    Shi Haoran''s heart plummeted and was invariably caught in a dilemma.


    In truth, through Ding Liang''s words earlier, Shi Haoran already had some suspicions. But he was still not willing to believe that this was true from the bottom of his heart.


    After musing for a moment, Shi Haoran forcefully pressed down the doubts in his heart and said to Ding Liang, "This matter is much too important. Want to ask, it''s also not my turn to ask! I''ll bring Little Junior Brother back right now. Master Star Abyss he will handle it impartially!"


    Ding Liang''s face fell and wished that he could kill Shi Haoran with one palm!


    Handle my *ss impartially!


    If you bring this boy back, you all will close your doors to ''handle impartially.'' At that time, do I have to go before Star Abyss to ask for him?


    "No way! This matter is already investigated clearly! Alchemy King Shi has no need to go back and ask Lord Star Abyss! I''m bringing away Ye Yuan right now. When the time comes, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, will explain to Lord Star Abyss personally!" Ding Liang said immediately.


    "I said earlier, want to touch Little Junior Brother, pass me first! Ding Liang, if you have the capabilities, then kill me!" Shi Haoran said angrily.


    "You!" Ding Liang was so angered that he was spouting smoke from seven orifices.


    As they spoke, both party''s gunpowder smell gradually thickened, with the manner of a single word of disagreement and they would fight.


    But,if they really fought, Ye Yuan''s side would definitely be at a huge disadvantage!


    The other party not only had Ding Liang this Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse, but the others were also mostly Soul Sea Realm experts too.


    Ye Yuan''s side were all a bunch of alchemists. How could they be the Dark Shadow Guard''s match?


    "Fine! I''ll expose his identity in front of everybody! See how you still defend him! Lan Hu, come out for me!" Ding Liang howled.


    A figure appeared in front of everyone. When Ye Yuan saw the arrival, his face could not help changing too. That last trace of a fluke was also all gone.


    "Long time no see, Ye Yuan! In order to find you, I''ve flipped the entire capital over these past few months! I didn''t think that you''d actually be right under my eyelids, and even became Sovereign Star Abyss''s disciple! If not for today I was seized with a sudden impulse to come here and take a look at the spouse finding martial competition, I''m afraid that I wouldn''t even know when you escape back to the Endless World!"


    Although Lan Hu said it smilingly, anyone could tell the fury in his words.


    These words said by Lan Hu was not in any way exaggerated. These few months, he would go to the city gates and keep watch there, hoping to discover Ye Yuan.


    Yet, several months went by, and he did not even have any hint of information!


    He never would have thought that Ye Yuan not only entered the capital long ago, but Ye Yuan also even became Sovereign Star Abyss''s eighth disciple.


    This discovery made him depressed until he was about to vomit blood!


    Seeing Lan Hu, Ye Yuan knew that his tracks were ultimately still exposed.


    Knowing that he could not conceal it, Ye Yuan gave a faint sigh and said, "So, it''s Lan Hu huh. It''s really been a long time since we''ve met. I didn''t think that you''d actually pay such close attention to my affairs!"


    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, the facial expressions of Shi Haoran and the others changed drastically!


    This was equivalent to him acknowledging the matter of being a spy.


    "This . . . How is this possible? I clearly investigated your divine soul before. All of the characteristics were exactly identical with us Fierce Gale World martial artists!"


    By the side, Xiao Changfeng''s face already turned deathly pale and still did not dare to quite believe it until now.


    Hearing these words, Ding Liang had a doubtful look too. His realm was much higher than Xiao Changfeng''s and could sense that Ye Yuan''s divine soul was no different from Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    If not for Lan Hu seeing Ye Yuan before with his own eyes, it was utterly impossible for him to suspect Ye Yuan.


    In truth, if not for this point, perhaps Ye Yuan would have been exposed long ago. It was impossible to be arrogant under their eyelids until now!


    Among the people that Ye Yuan came into contact with, many were high tier martial artists and could very easily detect the abnormality of his divine soul.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Haha. That''s very simple!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s divine soul underwent a minute transformation. But everyone''s faces changed!


    "This . . . How is this possible?"


    Everybody''s eyes went wide and stared at Ye Yuan in disbelief. Even the sovereign level powerhouse, Ding Liang''s pupils constricted. He was evidently abnormally shocked.


    "Haha. Nothing is impossible. It''s just slightly altering the characteristics of the divine soul," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Only after a long while did everyone recover from the shock. Ding Liang said with a solemn voice, "Shi Haoran, you saw it too. What else is there to say? This child''s talent is even more monstrous than Shangguan Lingyun and His Highness, the Seventh Prince! He absolutely mustn''t be allowed to leave! Or else, he''s bound to be my Fierce Gale World''s mortal malady in the future!"


    Shi Haoran''s expression flickered ceaselessly. Clearly, his heart was endlessly conflicted.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Many thanks for Eldest Senior Brother''s and Seniors'' care these few days. Little brother is also helpless. That''s why I hid my identity. Today''s matter will be shouldered by Little Brother alone! Eldest Senior Brother, please return!"


    At this juncture, Shi Haoran falling out and becoming enemies with him was an extremely normal thing. Ye Yuan obviously would not bear enmity against him.


    On the contrary, he was very grateful for Shi Haoran''s care this period of time. Shi Haoran''s this sort of shielding one''s shortcomings very much matched Ye Yuan''s appetite.


    However, what made Ye Yuan surprised was that Shi Haoran suddenly blocked in front of him and said to Ding Liang, "No matter who he is, he''s my little junior brother! You want to bring him away, sure. But I have to bring him back to Qixia Mountain first and let Master Star Abyss deal with him first! Before anything else, he''s my little junior brother. Nobody can think about touching a hair of his!"

 435 Ye Yuan’s Charm

    "You! You''re really impervious to reason! Do you know what the consequences of protecting this boy are?" The words from Shi Haoran angered Ding Liang until he stomped his foot.


    Shi Haoran already thought it through currently and was no longer conflicted. He immediately said coolly, "I''m only saying to wait until he returns to Qixia Mountain. I didn''t say to let him back to the Fierce Gale World either. What are you kicking up a fuss for? You''re aware of Master Star Abyss''s character. If I hand Ye Yuan to you today, I''ll die very horribly when I return! While you . . . likewise won''t feel nice!"


    Ding Liang could not help choking up. Star Abyss''s sanctions were still fresh in everyone''s minds.


    "Humph! Let''s go!"


    Seeing Ding Liang waver, Shi Haoran gave a cold snort and was about to bring them away.


    "Wait a minute!" Ding Liang suddenly woke up and gave a loud cry, "Shi Haoran! Don''t you compel me to use force!"


    As he said, the aura of Divine Traversing Realm released. Everyone''s faces changed!


    The oppression of a Divine Traversing Realm was not a joke!


    Ding Liang did not even make a move yet, and everyone already had a feeling like the heaven was rent asunder and the earth cracked. Even breathing was very laborious as if somebody was clutching their throats.


    What was the notion of Divine Traversing Realm?


    This was basically the pinnacle existence for Lower Realm martial artists! A character that stood at the very peak of the food chain! An existence like the spire of a pyramid!


    Once such a character made a move, ordinary people utterly did not have the chance to resist.


    Even Soul Sea Realm martial artists were also ant-like existences in front of Divine Traversing Realms!


    When Ding Liang demonstrated his power, Shi Haoran''s face changed too.


    He was not an arrogant and conceited person. In front of Ding Liang, he did not have the leeway to retaliate at all. But in order to bring Little Junior Brother back to Qixia Mountain today, he was ready to risk it all!


    This was something that must be done by someone of the Star Abyss tutelage. Want to punish, it was also punishment by their own people. When was it other people''s turn to punish?


    Everyone had their own insistence, and Shi Haoran''s insistence was the pride of Star Abyss''s line as well as protection towards their own people!


    "Ding Liang! If you have the capabilities, then kill me!" Shi Haoran''s words revealed an icy-cold intent.


    Ding Liang suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Shi Haoran, His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, has already issued the order to be sure to bring Ye Yuan away! Apologies, I can only offend!"


    Only to see him wave his sleeves grandly. An enormous force sent Shi Haoran flying out.


    "Puhwark!"


    Shi Haoran crashed heavily onto the ground and vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "Eldest Senior Brother!" Seeing Shi Haoran sustain injuries, Ye Yuan''s expression changed.


    Ding Liang did not hesitate in the slightest and took this chance to directly reach his hand out and grab at Ye Yuan!


    A horrifying oppressive power directly shackled Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan actually could not move at all and could only let Ding Liang capture at his discretion.


    But at this time, a beautiful shadow suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan was taken aback from shock and yelled out, "Ruyan! Get away from me!"


    Xiao Ruyan''s hands stretched out and turned a deaf ear to Ye Yuan''s words. But she shut her eyes, a manner of waiting for death.


    "Regardless of who you are, you''re my, Xiao Ruyan''s, master! I can''t watch you die! Ding Liang! Want to kill, you kill me together too!" Xiao Ruyan reproached daintily.


    "Humph! Ignorant child! To actually help an enemy from another world! I still have some trepidation towards Shi Haoran, but just with a little baby girl who''s still wet behind her ears like yourself, do you really take me to not dare to kill you? Since you wish to die, I''ll help you achieve your aim!" Ding Liang said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat. He cursed, "You dumb*ss! Quickly get lost for me! Do you hear?"


    Ye Yuan was suppressed dead by Ding Liang''s aura and completely could not move at all. And that battle with Zhao Chenggan prior to this, his wounds were extremely severe. Now, he completely did not have the slightest bit of strength to retaliate.


    Ding Liang wanting to kill Xiao Ruyan was simply as easy as blowing away dust!


    Could it be that . . . he had to watch Xiao Ruyan die before him helplessly?


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred. Ding Liang''s figure was suddenly totally blocked.


    A large fatty suddenly appeared and blocked in front of Xiao Ruyan. It was precisely Second Senior Brother, Tang Zhi!


    Tang Zhi looked at Ding Liang calmly as he said coolly, "Ding Liang, kill me together too! I want to see how many people can you kill today!"


    As he said, the other five seniors blocked in front of Ye Yuan too, covering him solidly.


    At this instant, Ye Yuan''s eyes unwittingly became somewhat wet.


    These seniors clearly knew that he was someone from another world, yet they actually barricaded in front of him without any hesitation.


    This gratitude, Ye Yuan probably could not cut it off in this lifetime no matter what!


    "Humph! Who says that I must kill you guys? Just the likes of the few of you also wish to get in the way of me capturing this boy?"


    Ding Liang gave a cold snort and lightly slapped out a palm. Immediately, violent winds howled, sending everyone flying.


    The strength of a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist was simply inexorable!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan was originally already heavily injured. At this time, injuries piled on top of injuries, and he could not hold back the sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spewed out.


    A blur before his eyes. A silhouette appeared before him.


    "Really can''t tell that you, boy, actually have such charm to make so many people willingly die for you! However . . . I want to see who else can stop me from capturing you now!" Ding Liang said lightly with his hands behind his back.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was as pale as paper and was already very frail. He looked at Ding Liang cold and detachedly and said coolly, "Ding Liang, right? If I don''t die today, there will definitely come the day where you''ll regret it!"


    Ding Liang''s actions already touched Ye Yuan''s reverse scale.


    Ye Yuan spoke very calmly. But the calmer he was, the more enraged it meant he currently was!


    If not for Tang Zhi earlier, Xiao Ruyan would already be a dead person.


    Ding Liang was wary of the identities of Shi Haoran and the others, but he completely thought nothing of Xiao Ruyan.


    What capital''s dual absolutes. In the eyes of a character like Ding Liang, it was a joke.


    When needed, he did not mind ruthlessly destroying a flower at all!


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Ding Liang''s brows involuntarily knitted. He said with a cold smile, "Young man, you''re thinking too much! Don''t forget where you are right now! This place is the Fierce Gale World, not the Endless World! Even if I let you leave today, do you think that you can escape from the capital? In here, everyone is your enemy! You alone, are facing an entire small world! Hence, don''t hold any chances in your heart. You won''t have the opportunity to take revenge!"


    Ding Liang did not suspect Ye Yuan''s words and also did not feel that Ye Yuan''s words had any laughable areas.


    Ye Yuan defeated Zhao Chenggan who was a full major realm higher than him with Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. Such monstrous talent, surpassing him in the future was practically set in stone.


    Yet, the Wind Emperor would not give him the opportunity!


    Ye Yuan was dead for sure!


    Ye Yuan was extremely feeble right now and already could not be bothered to carry out meaningless arguments with Ding Liang.


    He shut his eyes and slowly revolved his skill to refine the medicinal strength.


    "Alright, it''s late. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is most likely already anxious from waiting. Take a trip with me!" Ding Lian said. His hand reached towards Ye Yuan once more.


    "Ding Lian, you treated my disciples in such a manner; have you made the preparations to receive my wrath?"


    Right then, a cold voice suddenly sounded out and transmitted into everyone''s ears.


    When Shi Haoran and the others heard this voice, they could not help becoming overjoyed!

 436 Wind Emperor Appears!

    A faint divine soul aura rippled out. Everyone only felt the pressure on their bodies ease up. That sort of stifling feeling previously instantly vanished with a trace.


    "Master!" Shi Haoran and the others called out in one voice.


    A figure stood in the air, facing Ding Liang across a distance. Who could it be but Star Abyss?


    "L-Lord Star Abyss!"


    Seeing Star Abyss, Ding Liang also involuntarily lowered his proud head.


    Regardless where, the status of alchemists was exceptionally venerated. Even in the Fierce Gale World where alchemy skills had declined, an Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse like Star Abyss still had a lofty status.


    The reason was none other than because the medicinal pills required by Divine Traversing Realm experts, only Star Abyss could refine them!


    This was the reason behind the pride of Shi Haoran and the others!


    What kind of existence Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses were, one just had to look at the medicinal theory class Ye Yuan studied back then at the Dan Wu Academy to understand this point.


    A theory foundation left behind by an Alchemy Sovereign became the holy scripture that the entire continent pursued.


    This was a character that could leave behind a legend on a plane!


    An era might have many, many Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses. But the number of Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses were scanty few!


    Star Abyss''s status in the entire Fierce Gale World could be seen at a glance.


    "Ding Liang, you beat up all of my eight disciples until heavy injuries today. This account, do I find you to settle it, or should I go and claim from Zhao Tianyin?" Star Abyss said coolly.


    Ding Liang sweated heavily. He did not think that Star Abyss would actually arrive so quickly. This time, it was not easy to wind this matter up.


    "This . . . Ding Liang was a little too rash. But Lord Star Abyss, this new disciple of yours is the Endless World''s spy! Lord Wind Emperor gave a death order to definitely bring him back to interrogate!" Ding Liang was helpless and could only bring out Wind Emperor.


    Star Abyss waved his hand and said, "Ye Yuan''s matter, I''ll go explain to Zhao Tianyin myself. Now, you can leave."


    "This . . . I''m afraid that this is . . . inappropriate, right?" Ding Liang did not think that Star Abyss was actually so unyielding. For a spy from another world, he actually did not even give face to the Wind Emperor.


    Star Abyss shot him an indifferent glance and said, "Then, are you prepared to take care of me together too?"


    Ding Liang was shocked and hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. Even if Ding Liang''s guts were any greater, I wouldn''t dare to make a move against Lord Star Abyss either!"


    But Star Abyss no longer bothered with him and said to his disciples directly, "Support your little junior brother and follow me."


    Ding Liang''s heart was gloomy!


    Indeed, like master, like disciple! This master and disciples'' way of handling things was simply carved from the same mold; they were directly treating him like air!


    But Ding Liang daring to make a move against Shi Haoran and the rest did not mean that he dared to attack Star Abyss.


    Making a move against Shi Haoran and the rest still had room for maneuver. But making a move against Star Abyss''s actual person was equivalent to the Royal Family and the Alchemist Association breaking away completely!


    With the Alchemist Association''s rallying power, forget about them, these Divine Traversing Realm experts, having to chance to have any medicinal pill to use in the future. Most likely, in the entire Fierce Gale World, no martial artists could get medicinal pills.


    Even the Xiao Family and Tong Family, these alchemy families who depended on the royal family, they would probably close down their stores very soon as well.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Star Abyss would actually shield him so domineeringly, making him feel a warmth in his heart.


    Although the current Ye Yuan was just a small character in the war between two worlds, his monstrous talent had already been revealed. The Wind Emperor would not let him leave easily.


    Star Abyss saying this was tantamount to falling out with the Wind Emperor.


    Such resolve, how could Ye Yuan not appreciate the kindness?


    "You caused an uproar in the capital actually just to take in a disciple?" Star Abyss transmitted his voice.


    Thick displeasure was revealed in his words. Very clearly, stirring up this situation was not what he wished to see.


    To be able to send Ye Yuan away noiselessly, that was the best outcome. Yet, Ye Yuan was simply not a law-abiding person and actually caused storms to rage throughout the entire capital for a girl.


    Even more damnable was that Ye Yuan defeated everyone, but the final outcome was not to hug a beauty back but just to accept a disciple.


    This sort of powerful and unconstrained style of doing things also made Star Abyss this titan thunderstruck until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "For real men, some things are necessary, while other things absolutely mustn''t be done. Since we''re friends, how can I watch her jump into a fire pit helplessly? It''s just that I never thought that thorough considerations would have an oversight. There was actually still somebody who recognizes me in the capital . . ."


    "Forget it, forget it! Don''t know what kind of fortune this little girl garnered in her previous life, to actually be able to encounter a person like you! Follow me back first. This matter still needs to be discussed at length. You actually wasted Zhao Chenggan. The Wind Emperor most likely won''t leave the matter at that!" Star Abyss heaved a sigh.


    "Great grace can''t be thanked with words. Today''s matter, I, Ye Yuan, remembered it." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "What''s there to thank? If you were really a spy, I wouldn''t care less about you! It''s just . . . who asked you to be somebody that Master, his elderly self, holds in high esteem?" Star Abyss said with a sigh.


    "Haha. Didn''t think that one day, I, Ye Yuan, would actually receive Li Daohang''s grace," Ye Yuan said with a self-ridiculing laugh.


    Star Abyss had just brought everyone and walked not far out when he discovered a silhouette blocking their path!


    This scene happened too unreal, making everyone unwittingly feel their eyes blurring.


    Because just earlier, there was clearly nobody there. But the next instant, a person suddenly popped up there, as if he appeared out of thin air.


    Such a bizarre thing involuntarily made people feel a chill down their spine.


    Looking at the arrival, Star Abyss''s expression had an indescribable graveness.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and already had some guesses about this person''s identity.


    "Star Abyss, although your Alchemist Association isn''t under my rule, harboring people from another world like this truly make Us bitterly disappointed," the person opened his mouth and said apathetically.


    This person that showed up bizarrely was actually the absolute sovereign of the Fierce Gale World: the Wind Emperor Zhao Tianyin!


    And he was also the Fierce Gale World''s one and only Boundless Realm martial artist! An existence that looked down upon myriad worlds!


    Zhao Tianyin''s age did not look old, still maintaining the appearance of a middle-age person. Seemed like in his younger days, he was already an extremely powerful existence.


    Of course, if he was not a peerlessly talented person, how could he possibly break through to the Boundless Realm in the Lower Realms and attain the position of the Wind Emperor?


    Zhao Tianyin wore a casual dragon robe. Apart from this, there were not too many ornaments, seemingly no different from an ordinary person. It actually gave people a feeling of returning to one''s original simplicity!


    Star Abyss sucked in a deep breath and said in a slightly low voice, "Since you know that the Alchemist Association isn''t under your jurisdiction, why did you dare to touch my disciples?"


    Even an existence like Star Abyss, when facing a Boundless Realm powerhouse, felt immense pressure too.


    One had to know that under such an environment like the Lower Realms, Boundless Realm represented invincibility!


    Even Peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were only just slightly stronger ants in front of the Boundless Realm Wind Emperor.


    If not for this, why would the Grand Yan True Sect need to sacrifice countless Divine Traversing Realm martial artists to cast the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array back then?


    Zhao Tianyin ruminated for a moment and said coolly, "Looks like . . . you knew his identity long ago!"

 437 Unprecedented Humiliation!

    "My own disciple, of course I know. If I didn''t know beforehand, why would I appear here now?" Star Abyss said.


    "Although you''re the Alchemist Association''s Chairman, you''re also born and bred in the Fierce Gale World. Is what you''re doing here treating this land that raised you fairly?"


    "One, I didn''t do anything that let down the Fierce Gale World. Second, my disciple also didn''t do anything to let down the Fierce Gale World. The so-called conspiracy theories are completely conceived out of your own imagination. My disciple only came to save his seniors. Being serious, my disciple came to the Fierce Gale World still because the Swift Wind Guards captured his seniors, isn''t it so?"


    "But you also saw this child''s strength. If We let him leave unchecked, he''ll be my Fierce Gale World''s mortal malady. Once he leaves, there will be many, many Fierce Gale World brave warriors that will die in his hands next time. You''re also a titan of a world. Don''t you consider for your people?"


    The two people had a lively conversation and were actually like old friends of many years chatting.


    These two people did not belong to the same group. Although they knew each other for many years, they were not some old friends. Star Abyss even once caused mayhem in the capital for his disciple''s matter and forced the third prince to death.


    But at their realm and status, every action had the demeanor of an expert and would naturally not look like lower level martial artists squabbling.


    Yet, from the contents of their conversation, their opinions clearly could not reach a consensus. The smell of gunpowder gradually thickened as well.


    This was absolutely not some good news to Ye Yuan''s side.


    And the Wind Emperor''s words clearly struck Star Abyss''s Achilles heel. If Ye Yuan returned to the Endless World, there would bound to be many Fierce Gale World martial artists who would die in his hands in the future.


    In such a war between two worlds, nobody could detach themselves from it.


    Ye Yuan could enter deep into the Fierce Gale World today for his seniors. He would surely have to kill people for his close ones in the future!


    And Ye Yuan''s potential was seriously too scary. This point, no one could refute.


    These words that the Wind Emperor said was actually equivalent to admitting that he dreaded Ye Yuan very much.


    "Humph! Posing as someone with high morals!" Ye Yuan suddenly said with a cold snort.


    Once these words came out, everyone''s countenance changed visibly.


    In this world, there was actually somebody who dared to provoke the Wind Emperor!


    Even if Ye Yuan''s talent was heaven-defying, this gall was also too fat!


    Even if Ye Yuan defeated Zhao Chenggan, before the Wind Emperor, he was still nothing at all. As long as the Wind Emperor was willing, he could kill Ye Yuan without even needing a finger!


    Soul Sea Realm. The divine soul communicating with one''s essence energy sea, one could manipulate heaven and earth essence energy.


    Divine Traversing Ream. The divine soul and essence energy sea merge into one, roaming the world freely. One could manipulate heaven and earth essence energy in a large scope.


    Boundless Realm. The divine soul gains a preliminary glimpse into the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. One could take control of heaven and earth essence energy within a fixed boundary. Saying that they were controllers was not over the top!


    Hence, the Wind Emperor wanting to kill Ye Yuan now was practically just a matter of a thought.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Zhao Tianyin glanced sideways slightly and looked at Ye Yuan.


    Everyone''s hearts were thumping and had no clue how the Wind Emperor would punish Ye Yuan.


    "Is there weight for you to speak here? Puny little Crystal Formation martial artist, saw Us and actually dare to not kneel!" Zhao Tianyin''s dignified voice sounded.


    Zhao Tianyin was not seen taking any action either. All of a sudden, the surrounding heaven and earth essence energy became berserk and actually squeezed towards Ye Yuan like a cage!


    This was too sudden. Everyone did not react in time.


    Immediately, Ye Yuan felt a weight of 30 thousand catties on his shoulders as if a pair of large hands was forcefully pressing him down to make him kneel!


    Ye Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and his knees gradually bending. All the bones in his body gave off creaking sounds as he used all the strength in his body to resist.


    "Who . . . the hell . . . are you, to also . . . also fit to make me . . . kneel down?"


    Ye Yuan''s face turned red, and he said this sentence word by word.


    Zhao Tianyin said emotionlessly, "We are the ruler of a world. Could it be that We cannot bear a kneel of yours?"


    "I, Ye Yuan . . . only kneel to parents and don''t kneel to . . . the heaven! Compared to the heaven . . . what do you even count as?"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s jaws were chattering. Each word needed to use his entire body''s strength.


    Ye Yuan''s back was already bent, both legs slightly curved, but he stubbornly refused to kneel down.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s faces including Zhao Tianyin''s all changed.


    What martial artists practiced was Heavenly Dao. What they feared most and held in reverence most was also Heavenly Dao!


    The might of Heavenly Dao was what humans simply could not surmise.


    Ye Yuan actually uttered words like this. Simply too unbridled!


    "Speaking recklessly of heaven! Truly don''t know life from death! With your strength, how do you know the terror of heaven?" Zhao Tianyin said.


    "Zhao Tianyin! You''re still not staying your hand yet?! Humiliating my disciple like today, you have to make preparations to receive my wrath!" Star Abyss saw Ye Yuan''s agonizing state, and his heart pounded.


    Speaking recklessly about heaven?


    Among the people present here, there was probably nobody who understood heaven better than Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan was burdened with a deeply-seated blood feud and had already long lost awe and veneration towards heaven.


    Alive again, he was going against heaven!


    The heaven wanted to exterminate him, Ye Yuan. Then he, Ye Yuan, was going to ask the heaven why it was so unjust!


    Although it was uncertain who Ye Yuan''s enemy was, a person that could kill a peak Alchemy Emperor was definitely among the peak existences in the Divine Realm.


    Compared to them, Zhao Tianyin truly did not count as anything.


    Moreover, with Ye Yuan former identity, how could he willingly kneel down towards a puny little Boundless Realm?


    If it were before, Boundless Realm was not even fit to lick Ye Yuan''s shoes!


    Star Abyss could understand Ye Yuan''s words. He did not feel surprised. But Zhao Tianyin humiliating Ye Yuan like this was what he could not accept.


    Who knew that this time, Zhao Tianyin was a never before unyielding. "Star Abyss, although I dread your identity, it''s not without a bottom line. Furthermore, not everyone by your side can scorn Our prestige! Even if he''s your disciple, making him kneel down to greet Us the first time meeting Us is not considered overboard, right? Moreover, he crippled Gan-er. This kneel serves as making an apology."


    With Zhao Tianyin saying it like this, Star Abyss really had nothing to say.


    If Ye Yuan was his eighth disciple, even if Ye Yuan was somebody from the Endless World, kneeling down to greet the Wind Emperor was nothing inappropriate.


    But the problem was that making an Alchemy Emperor kneel to the Wind Emperor was an unprecedented humiliation!


    Although Star Abyss did not interact much with Ye Yuan, regarding his temperament, he still had some understanding.


    Even if Ye Yuan were to die, it was also not possible to kneel towards the Wind Emperor!


    For a moment, Star Abyss fell into a dilemma and did not know what words he should use to rebut Zhao Tianyun.


    Right then, Xiao Ruyan suddenly scurried out from the crowd and kneeled to the Wind Emperor with a slam.


    "Your Majesty, the Wind Emperor, I beg you, let Master go! He . . . He only did it for the sake of saving his seniors and is really not a spy! If Your Majesty wishes to punish, Ruyan is willing to die in his place!" Xiao Ruyan''s face was smeared in tears, but her face had indescribable stubbornness.


    "Ruyan! You mustn''t be rude! Get back for me!" Xiao Changfeng hastily reproached in alarm when he saw the situation.


    Offending the Wind Emperor was not a burden that his Xiao Family could bear!

 438 Made You Suffer

    The Wind Emperor turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Ruyan. Ye Yuan could not help freaking out in his heart.


    He had long seen through that this Wind Emperor was not some good-natured person.


    To be able to kick off a war between two worlds for his own personal interests, such a person was a fierce and ambitious person no matter how one looked at him.


    How could such a character take pity on a frail little girl?


    "You, this baby girl, don''t know what''s good for you either! To actually help an aberrant person from another world plead for leniency! The Xiao Family received Our grace for generations, and this is how you repay Us? Alright then, since you want to die, then We will send you off!"


    The Wind Emperor''s words did not carry the slightest hint of emotion, making people feel a chill in their hearts when they heard them.


    "Don''t . . . !" Ye Yuan shouted.


    But it was as if Zhao Tianyin did not hear it at all. Only to see him raise his hand slightly, his index finger lightly flicked. A starlight flew towards Xiao Ruyan''s heart like a comet!


    Nobody had any suspicion that as long as this bit of starlight touched Xiao Ruyan, she would be dead for sure!


    But at this time, who could save her?


    The starlight arrived in front of Xiao Ruyan in the blink of an eye. But it was like Xiao Ruyan did not see it at all. She currently had her back turned to look at Ye Yuan, giving him a gentle smile!


    Swoosh! Bang!


    The starlight did not strike Xiao Ruyan, but flew towards the far-end, smashing onto the ground.


    An enormous rumble sounded. Rock fragments were smashed flying all around.


    Xiao Ruyan . . . disappeared!


    Regarding this surprise, the Wind Emperor was calm like before. He then turned to Ye Yuan. "Spatial spirit artifact? Looks like I still underestimated you."


    Turned out that in that critical juncture just now, Ye Yuan unleashed the spatial spirit artifact and transported Xiao Ruyan inside!


    This scene naturally could not escape the Wind Emperor''s eyes.


    "However . . . you can''t even protect yourself right now; you actually still have the thought to bother with others. I want to see to what extent you can hold out!"


    Zhao Tianyin''s voice had just faded when Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure around him immediately increased multiple folds!


    That horrifying pressure even squeezed the space until it morphed, giving people a very unreal feeling when looked at.


    And Ye Yuan''s body sunk down more than half under this kind of pressure. One knee was practically on the verge of touching the ground!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan spurred the essence energy in his body frenziedly, trying to straighten up his back desperately. Under the enormous pressure, Ye Yuan finally could not resist vomiting out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Not only so, under the compression of space, the skin on Ye Yuan''s entire body also cracked, oozing out blood, looking very wretched.


    "Zhao Tianyin! If you have the capabilities . . . kill me! Even if I''m . . . beaten until my bones are ground to dust, I also . . . won''t kneel down!" Ye Yuan practically snarled it out.


    "Kill you? Killing you is too easy! As long as I''m willing, what''s hard about grinding your bones to dust? But . . . I only want your kneel," Zhao Tianyin said coolly.


    Zhao Tianyin waved his hand once more. The pressure around Ye Yuan skyrocketed once more!


    Very clearly, as long as he was willing, he could crush Ye Yuan''s body into pieces with just this move. And the pressure that he was applying right now was just a drop in the bucket of his strength. The goal was to make Ye Yuan kneel down.


    Under the tremendous pressure, Ye Yuan''s consciousness gradually blurred, his body dropped bit by bit too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s wretched appearance, Star Abyss''s fury finally ignited too!


    However, he had yet to take action when he heard Zhao Tianyin say indifferently, "Star Abyss, I advise that you better not make a move. You''re aware, on the Martial Path, you''re too weak!"


    As he said, Zhao Tianyin casually pointed with a finger again. Heaven and earth essence energy immediately formed a thin membrane, wrapping Star Abyss inside.


    Star Abyss''s face changed and smacked out a palm at the thin membrane.


    Bang!


    The thin membrane did not move a hint, and Star Abyss was actually bounced back!


    This was the strength of a Boundless Realm martial artist!


    Even the sovereign level Star Abyss was so incapable of withstanding a single blow in front of Zhao Tianyin!


    "Alright, wait there obediently. After I take care of this brat, we''ll slowly chat," Zhao Tianyin said faintly.


    Star Abyss gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Tianyin, you . . . deserve death!"


    But Zhao Tianyin did not pay attention to Star Abyss anymore. He increased essence energy for Ye Yuan once more!


    "Argh!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s aura rose frenziedly. His eyes were blood-red as he stared at Zhao Tianyin icily.


    Zhao Tianyin said lightly, "Burning blood essence huh . . . Burning 50% of blood essence in one go, you''ve virtually already ruined your own foundation. Doing this . . . just in order to not kneel down before me? Truly an obstinate youth. But . . . the more this is the case, the more I want to make you kneel. Haha."


    Ye Yuan was heavily injured originally. Under Zhao Tianyin''s pressure, he had reached his limits long ago already.


    He could persist until now by relying entirely on a single conviction to hang in there.


    Ye Yuan was self-aware that he was certain to be killed and simply burnt 50% blood essence in one shot, instantly filling the essence energy in his body to the brim!


    Under such a condition, he actually slowly stood up a little!


    However . . . all of this was futile. Ye Yuan compared to Boundless Realm martial artists, the gap was too great!


    Just pushed back some and Zhao Tianyin slightly exerted pressure again, immediately pushing Ye Yuan down.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s feet actually trod the ground until it caved in!


    And at this time, Ye Yuan''s knee was only a mere couple of inches distance away from the ground!


    Burning 50% blood essence was also unable to resist even a tiny bit of time.


    Ye Yuan''s consciousness became increasingly blurry. Yet, there was a voice in his heart telling him non-stop: Don''t kneel! Don''t kneel!


    The current Ye Yuan was already dyed by his blood until he became a blood person, looking terrifyingly ghastly.


    When everyone saw this scene, their faces could not help showing a visible change in countenance.


    A Crystal Formation Realm youth actually displayed such a stubborn side in front of a Boundless Realm martial artist!


    Although these people were all Zhao Tianyin''s subjects, at this very instant, they unwittingly felt pity for Ye Yuan in his hearts.


    Why geniuses were called geniuses was not only because they needed to have outstanding talent, but they also needed unyielding belief and a tenacious personality even more.


    Ye Yuan possessed all the qualities that a genius should have and originally should soar to the skies in one move. But today, he was cruelly humiliated by Zhao Tianyin and ultimately could not escape death.


    Such a violent method rather made people hold in contempt.


    Killing people was merely the head hitting the ground. But, shaming like this hurt morals and conscious.


    Ye Yuan felt the strength in his body waning bit by bit. Resisting the spatial compression was progressively more abilities falling short of one''s will.


    "Up to here huh . . ."


    This was Ye Yuan''s final thought. Finally, he could not endure anymore, and he fainted.


    Seeing this scene, the corner of Wind Emperor Zhao Tianyin''s mouth revealed a trace of a victor''s smile.


    Yet . . . Ye Yuan''s body did not collapse. A beautiful figure walked out of the void and caught the Ye Yuan who was about to kneel down.


    The woman gave a melancholic sigh and said, "Apologies, Mister Ye. Li-er came a step late and made you suffer."


    This woman was precisely Li-er!


    Her appearance was as if a celestial fairy descending to the mortal world. There weren''t any signs in advance at all!


    Seeing Li-er, Zhao Tianyin''s expression underwent a change for the first time. A solemn expression actually appeared. With his strength, he actually did not discover that a person was hidden in the void!


    "Who are you?! To actually dare barge into the capital!" Zhao Tianyin said grimly.

 439 Instant Karma!

    Li-er completely did not bother with Zhao Tianyin at all.


    Only to see her slowly extend an exquisite arm, gently pressing her palm on Ye Yuan''s chest.


    A light halo spread out on Ye Yuan''s chest, and it actually gave people a peaceful feeling.


    Seeing that Li-er did not pay attention to him at all, the Wind Emperor''s face fell slightly, "Humph! Ignorant of what you''re saying! To actually dare offend Us. Deserve to die!"


    Zhao Tianyin flicked a finger with one hand. A stream of light instantly arrived before Li-er.


    Yet, right at that moment, a bizarre scene appeared!


    That stream of light actually vanished from sight inexplicably before Li-er. But no one saw Li-er make a move.


    Her hand was still pressing on Ye Yuan''s chest as if she was utterly oblivious to the matter of Zhao Tianyin attacking her.


    Zhao Tianyin''s expression had yet to change in time when all of a sudden, he felt all the hair on his body stand on its ends. An intense feeling of danger assaulted from behind.


    He turned around swiftly. A stream of light transported out from the void. In haste, Zhao Tianyin quickly unleashed another finger.


    Bang!


    Two streams of light collided together, giving off a violent explosion.


    Zhao Tianyin actually fell back several steps in a row. Everyone watched this scene in disbelief.


    The Wind Emperor was a Boundless Realm powerhouse. He actually could not deal with a girl?


    Zhao Tianyin sucked in a cold breath instead, "Concept of Space! You . . . Who on earth are you?"


    The Concept of Space was an exceedingly profound concept; extremely difficult to comprehend.


    The Wind Emperor was also considered someone with many experiences. But he had never heard of anybody who had comprehended the Concept of Space in the Lower Realms.


    Furthermore, looking at this girl''s move earlier, it was clearly comprehended to an extremely profound realm already.


    The Wind Emperor''s face was very ugly. After becoming the Wind Emperor, this was the first time he felt an immense threat.


    Right then, Ye Yuan suddenly gave a muffled groan. He was clearly in great anguish.


    But when Li-er saw this scene, the expression on her face eased up considerably.


    Only at this time, did she slowly raise her head. Looking at Zhao Tianyin indifferently, she said, "Your dog head will be left on your neck for the time being! Before long, Mister Ye will personally come to retrieve it. As for who I am, you don''t have the qualifications to know yet."


    Zhao Tianyin''s face fell, and he said with a frown, "Humph! Just know some Concept of Space, that''s all. You don''t really think that you''ve subdued Us, right?"


    But Li-er no longer bothered with him. Gently carrying Ye Yuan up, she said, "Mister Ye, I''ll bring you home right away."


    Seeing Li-er completely disregard him, Zhao Tianyu flew into a great rage. With a flash, he blocked in front of Li-er and said, "Pretending to be mysterious! You can leave, but this boy must stay!"


    Li-er''s eyelid raised slightly, and she said coolly, "With just you?"


    Zhao Tianyin said with a cold snort, "So what if just Us? If We let you bring him and swagger your way out of here, then how will We rule the Fierce Gale World''s citizens in the future?"


    "This is you inviting humiliation upon yourself. Can''t blame me."


    As she said, Li-er''s eyes suddenly released two beams of light. The light flashed and passed right away.


    Zhao Tianyin was just brewing up a big move when all of a sudden, he shuddered. His pair of eyes actually gradually became vacant!


    Li-er''s brows furrowed, but her divine soul was in pain. That sort of ripping pain transmitted over.


    "Your Majesty, the Wind Emperor!" Ding Liang instinctively felt something off and could not help yelling out.


    Yet, Zhao Tianyin seemed to not have heard it. He still stood there without moving a muscle, as if he was a wooden puppet.


    "Your Majesty, what''s wrong?"


    Ding Liang hurriedly came to Zhao Tianyin''s side and shook his body. But Zhao Tianyin did not have any reaction.


    "Demoness! What did you do to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor! Do you know what you''re doing? You''re making an enemy out of the entire Fierce Gale World!" Ding Liang admonished furiously.


    Although Ding Liang''s words were fierce, he did not dare to make a move against Li-er.


    This demoness actually cast a spell and froze the Wind Emperor in place. How could he possibly be her match?


    "Is that so? So what if I''m making an enemy out of the entire Fierce Gale World?" Li-er said indifferently.


    Having Zhao Tianyin kicking up a ruckus like this, Li-er was not in a hurry to leave. She slowly put Ye Yuan down and leaned him against her shoulder.


    Seeing this action of Li-er, not knowing why, Ding Liang''s heart pounded, and he had a foreboding feeling.


    Only to hear Li-er chide lightly, "Come over and kneel down for Mister Ye!"


    Everyone''s faces changed.


    Was this woman crazy? To actually make His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, kneel down to Ye Yuan?!


    But at this time right now, there was no longer anybody who took Li-er to be an ordinary person.


    This woman was too bizarre. She actually just gave Wind Emperor a look and inundated him completely.


    Boundless Realm was the strongest existence in the Lower Realms. He actually did not even have the chance to attack?


    Also, the Wind Emperor he . . . wouldn''t really kneel to Ye Yuan, right?


    Under everyone''s stares, the Wind Emperor actually really moved two steps in front and walked over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ding Liang was taken aback from fright. He hastily grabbed Zhao Tianyin''s arm and yelled, "Your Majesty, don''t!"


    But the Wind Emperor paid no heed at all. Instead, he waved a hand and sent Ding Liang flying out far away.


    Zhao Tianyin moved several more steps over and actually really kneeled down with a slam!


    This time, it really made the atmosphere blow up.


    Everyone watched this scene blankly, with a look of incredulity.


    What kind of magic did this woman cast on His Majesty, the Wind Emperor? To actually be able to make His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, so obedient!


    "Heh heh, this also counts as instant karma. Just earlier, Zhao Tianyin wanted to make Ye Yuan kneel down. In the end, Ye Yuan did not kneel, but he himself kneeled to Ye Yuan instead! This is the situation where those who like to disgrace others will frequently be humiliated by others!" Star Abyss said with a cold smile.


    Through today''s events, he had already completely fallen out with Zhao Tianyin. Now, seeing Zhao Tianyin actually kneel to Ye Yuan, he felt incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart.


    The only pitiable thing was that Ye Yuan was currently still in an unconscious state and was unable to feel the delight of revenge.


    "Today''s matter, it is you inviting humiliation upon yourself! I''ll claim a bit of interest on Mister Ye''s behalf first! Now, kowtow to him! I don''t say stop, you''re not allowed to get up!" Li-er admonished.


    Just like that, Zhao Tianyin really kowtowed to Ye Yuan non-stop and was incomparably obedient.


    Li-er''s finger moved slightly. Xiao Ruyan was actually released from the spatial spirit artifact.


    Seeing that the Wind Emperor was actually prostrating to Ye Yuan, Xiao Ruyan could not help jumping in fright. "This . . . What is going on here? H-His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, he . . ."


    "No need to make such a big fuss. It''s just carrying a slight punishment out on him. Just based on his actions today, it''s enough to kill him. But for the sake of Mister Ye to be able to personally take revenge in the future, temporarily let him off today," Li-er said coolly.


    Only then was Xiao Ruyan awakened abruptly. There was still a peerless beauty standing before her!


    Xiao Ruyan emboldened her courage to look Li-er up and down a couple of times. There was actually a feeling of being ashamed of one''s unseemliness!


    "This . . . Could it be that this woman is Ye Yuan''s beloved? No wonder . . . he turns his nose up at me. Turns out that the difficulty he talked about was this . . ." Xiao Ruyan could not help bemoaning her fate inwardly.


    "Alright. I''m about to bring Ye Yuan back to the Endless World at once. Everything that he did today was for you, so I let you out to ask you something. Are you staying here, or are you following Ye Yuan back?" Li-er asked emotionlessly.

 440 Return to the Endless World!

    Xiao Ruyan also did not think that she would actually have to face such a decision.


    Two small worlds. This was a distance the same as the two end points of the earth. Going to the Endless World, she might never be able to return here again in this lifetime.


    And at this place was her elder brother, her parents.


    The Wind Emperor was still groveling there non-stop, while Ding Liang was desperately trying to pull him up. But he refused to get up no matter what.


    Over on this side, Xiao Ruyan fell into a dilemma and had a conflicted face.


    "Ruyan, you mustn''t go with him! Or else, I, Xiao Changfeng, will break off all ties with you!" Xiao Changfeng said coldly.


    Xiao Ruyan''s entire body shuddered, and her gaze involuntarily turning to Xiao Changfeng.


    It was only to see Xiao Changfeng staring with furious eyes; he had a look of firm resolution. For a moment, countless memories welled up from the bottom of her heart.


    These years of diligent studies and bitter training, not daring to slack off the slightest bit.


    When the elders unanimously said to push her out as a bargaining chip, Xiao Changfeng kept silent and said nothing by the side.


    She was heartbroken and swallowed the Nine Nether Soul Shattering Powder; her consciousness dissipating bit by bit.


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes gradually became resolute!


    "Father, these past twenty years, Daughter has been living for the Xiao Family! And today, Daughter is already somebody who has died once. Daughter wishes to live for herself for once! Therefore . . . I want to follow Master!"


    Finished saying this sentence, Xiao Ruyan felt like all the strength in her body was drained.


    This was absolutely an earthshaking move for her.


    Xiao Ruyan had been instilled with the idea of existing for her family clan since young, and she herself was also a very filial girl. But today, she cut off everything from her past. This demanded immense courage.


    For a person to sever off all fetters and integrate into a new world anew, how powerful a conviction was needed to support this?!


    "You! Good, good, good!" Xiao Changfeng was so enraged that he was shaking.


    He did not think that his all along obedient daughter would actually do something so decisive.


    "From today onwards, I, Xiao Changfeng, will take it as if I never had you, this daughter! We break . . . off . . . all . . . ties!" Xiao Changfeng said while trembling.


    Xiao Ruyan''s whole body quivered, and she nearly fell to the ground.


    A strand of gentle essence energy instantly enveloped her; it was only then did she stabilize.


    Li-er said coolly, "I more or less understand your affairs and also understand you very much. Actually, in all honesty, I even envy you very much. You can dump everything to pursue your happiness. This is sufficient. Mister Ye is kind and just, daring and resolute; he''s absolutely worth it for you doing all these!"


    Li-er''s words were akin to injecting Xiao Ruyan with a cardiac tonic.


    Xiao Ruyan nodded and said, "Many thanks to Senior for advising!"


    Li-er nodded slightly and said to Star Abyss, "Your kindness, Mister Ye will surely repay it personally in the future. He''s currently heavily injured so he won''t bid farewell to you all."


    Star Abyss said, "Star Abyss''s strength is meager, that''s why Ye Yuan received such severe wounds. I am seriously ashamed. Senior, please take good care of Ye Yuan. Star Abyss is endlessly grateful."


    "That''s of course."


    Finished talking, Li-er swirled her long sleeves, bringing Ye Yuan and Xiao Ruyan and vanishing from sight. It was as if they had never appeared.


    The plaza was dead silent. Only Zhao Tianyin''s thumping kowtowing sounds echoed.


    . . . . . .


    It was also uncertain how long had passed. Zhao Tianyin suddenly trembled and some light finally returned to his eyes.


    Zhao Tianyin''s heart plunged, and his brows could not help furrowing.


    At this instant, the entire plaza seemed to have fallen in temperature drastically, unwittingly making people shudder.


    He was still maintaining a kneeling posture right now. Very clearly, something very nasty happened earlier.


    "Just now . . . what happened?" Zhao Tianyin asked Ding Liang.


    Even though Ding Liang was a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse, hearing this sentence, he also felt a chill come on.


    "This . . ." Ding Liang revealed a difficult look.


    "Speak!" Zhao Tianyin said somberly.


    Ding Liang was powerless, and could only recount the events earlier.


    Each word that he said, Zhao Tianyin''s face would darken a degree. By the time he finished talking, Zhao Tianyin''s face was not much different from black charcoal.


    "Apart from the Qixia Mountain lineage and the Xiao Family''s Xiao Changfeng, the people who are aware of this incident are already all dead. Before leaving, Lord Star Abyss said to me that he''ll keep his group of disciples and Xiao Changfeng in check, and they will absolutely not speak of today''s incident. Furthermore, he even said that the Alchemist Association will collaborate wholeheartedly with the royal family and provide all assistance with regard to medicinal pills!" Ding Liang added.


    Not far in the distance lied corpses all over the place. Among them was even two Soul Sea Realm martial artists.


    Zhao Tianyin''s complexion eased up a little. But he still said with a solemn face, "This matter, you did very well! Looks like Xiao Changfeng has already thrown himself under Star Abyss''s sect. This is a troublesome matter."


    To Zhao Tianyin, Star Abyss was indeed a porcupine that was not easy to touch.


    As the ruler of a world, Zhao Tianyin was deeply aware of the Alchemist Association''s formidability.


    Regardless of which plane, the Alchemist Association''s Chairman would always be an existence that was exceptionally revered.


    Although the Fierce Gale World was a place where even birds would not shit, if he really killed Star Abyss, the Divine Realm would surely pursue it.


    Boundless Realm martial artists were indeed pretty good in the Fierce Gale World. But placed in the Divine Realm, it was too ordinary.


    The Divine Realm''s Alchemist Association''s punishment was not what he, a puny little Boundless Realm martial artist, could withstand.


    Ding Liang said, "Since Star Abyss wants to cooperate sincerely with us, it shows that he doesn''t wish to cause the relationship to be too stiff. Furthermore, making today''s matter known to everyone has no benefits to him either. So . . ."


    The words behind, Ding Liang did not say. Deciding this sort of thing naturally had to be left to Wind Emperor himself.


    Zhao Tianyin nodded his head and said, "Today''s matter will end at this. If there are any rumors at all, kill regardless of who it is!"


    "Yes!"


    . . . . . .


    Fierce Gale World, Cloud Dream Mountain Range. Several figures quietly walked out of the void.


    "Senior, we are . . ."


    Towards this place that was covered in a dense fog, Ruyan was very perplexed.


    Li-er nodded and said, "This place is already the Endless World."


    "This place is the Endless World? Looks like it''s indeed much richer in resources than the Fierce Gale World" Xiao Ruyan sensed the thick spirit qi and said comfortably.


    But Li-er shook her head and said, "Although the Fierce Gale World is scarce in resources, the gale winds'' tempering to martial artists is what the Endless World martial artists can''t enjoy. From the start of birth, Fierce Gale World martial artists would train in an arduous environment at all times, and their accomplishments would also be much greater compared to the Endless World martial artists. To really talk about who''s better and who''s worse off, it''s really hard to evaluate."


    Xiao Ruyan said in surprise, "Then His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, he . . ."


    Li-er said coolly, "Just foolish concerns! The things that the Wind Emperor knows are much more than you people! The Divine Realm isn''t some nice place. He can call wind and summon rain in the Fierce Gale World. Arriving at the Divine Realm, he''ll truly be a bottom-tier martial artist. Invading the Endless World, giving it a nice-sounding name of thinking for the Fierce Gale World martial artists, actually, isn''t it for his own personal gains?"


    Xiao Ruyan widened her mouth and said, "I-It''s actually like this!"


    "Of course . . . ugh . . ."


    Just as Li-er was talking, her brows suddenly knitted together, showing a very anguished look.


    Xiao Ruyan asked in alarm, "Senior, a-are you alright?"

 441 Touched!

    Li-er''s head felt as if it was splitting. She grabbed her head and forcefully withstood the pain, but her attractive body was quivering endlessly.


    This scene made Xiao Ruyan turn pale with fright.


    In her eyes, Li-er was practically an invincible existence. Even the Wind Emperor was played around in the palm of her hands. How could she have a headache?


    "Ugh . . ."


    Right then, Ye Yuan at the side muttered in his sleep and similarly had his brows tightly locked, appearing very anguished.


    "Ye . . . Master, a-are you alright?"


    These two individuals were like this at the same time. Xiao Ruyan was at a complete loss and did not know what she should do.


    Ye Yuan opened both eyes with some difficulty and noticed that the surrounding environment was somewhat strange and familiar.


    "I . . . I''m not dead yet?" Ye Yuan said feebly.


    This time should be the time where he was the most severely injured since rebirth so far.


    In the past, no matter how severely he was wounded, as long as he consumed medicinal pills, he would recover back to usual in less than two days.


    But this time, if not for Li-er helping him to protect his heart pulse, Ye Yuan would probably have croaked already.


    "D-didn''t die! Master, you''re so amazing, why would you die?" Xiao Ruyan sobbed softly.


    "I-It''s Ruyan huh. En? W-Who is she?" Ye Yuan suddenly discovered a pained look Li-er and asked weakly.


    "Ah? Master, you actually don''t recognize this senior?"


    Xiao Ruyan even thought that these two people were surely on intimate terms. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not know her at all. This threw her into utter confusion.


    "Ugh . . ." At this time, Li-er suddenly gave off an agonized groan and actually collapsed.


    "Ah! Senior!"


    Xiao Ruyan jumped in fright and hurriedly support Li-er, lying her flat on the ground.


    "M-Master, what should I do now?" Xiao Ruyan was in a state of utter confusion and asked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said feebly, "N-No choice. All the essence energy in my body had fully dissipated. I completely . . . can''t muster any strength at all. Why . . . Why does this girl''s silhouette look . . . look somewhat familiar?"


    "Master, you really don''t recognize Senior?" Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Xiao Ruyan asked doubtfully.


    "Don''t . . . Don''t recognize means . . . don''t recognize. Why would I lie to you?" Ye Yuan was speechless.


    From Ye Yuan''s angle, he could just nice see Li-er''s appearance.


    This flawless face would absolutely make every male have a feeling of not bearing to defile. Even if Ye Yuan was currently severely wounded, he also had a feeling of palpitating with excitement. But Ye Yuan dared to confirm that this was absolutely his first time seeing this face.


    "But . . . But Senior she rescued you from the Wind Emperor''s hands. How is it possible that you don''t know her?" Xiao Ruyan said in puzzlement.


    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to be surprised. "So . . . it was her who saved me . . ."


    "Yeah! Senior is incredible! Even the Wind Emperor isn''t her match!"


    Xiao Ruyan recounted the events after Ye Yuan fainted for Ye Yuan to listen, making Ye Yuan extremely surprised after hearing too.


    "Ocular art? Could it be . . ." Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    "What ocular art?" Xiao Ruyan said blankly.


    "Nothing. I just thought of somebody. But . . ."


    Ye Yuan precisely thought of Li-er. But the difference between the two person''s looks was also too great.


    Ye Yuan did not have any trace of essence energy in his body right now at all and was utterly unable to perceive Li-er''s condition. So he dare not confirm either.


    But looking from Xiao Ruyan''s description, this was absolutely ocular arts without any doubt.


    And among the people that Ye Yuan knew, only this Li-er possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique.


    But the problem was that Li-er only had Crystal Formation Realm strength. Could it be that Li-er deliberately hid her strength?


    If Li-er could really play around with even Zhao Tianyi, then concealing her strength in front of him was not anything impressive as well.


    Furthermore, the profile of this girl before his eyes was very similar to Li-er''s. Was it possible . . . for the two of them to be the same person?


    "Master, what should I do now?" Xiao Ruyan felt that she should do something.


    "There are recovery medicinal pills in my storage ring. But I can''t use any essence energy at all right now. You help me take out!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Okay!" Xiao Ruyan agreed.


    Every martial artist had their own unique way of opening their storage rings. As long as Ye Yuan told Xiao Ruyan the way to open, she could open it very quickly.


    Xiao Ruyan followed Ye Yuan''s instructions and finally found the Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill and let Ye Yuan swallow one.


    This time, Ye Yuan''s injuries were seriously too severe. Even after he consumed the Azure Profound Heart Nourishing Pill, Ye Yuan''s recovery speed was still very slow.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan finally recovered some strength and could barely manage to stand up.


    He struggled to come before Li-er and reached for her pulse.


    Towards his savior, Ye Yuan naturally could not let her be in a coma unchecked.


    But with this reading of the pulse, Ye Yuan could not help being greatly alarmed. This gorgeous to the extreme girl was actually really that ugly girl, Li-er, whom he saved previously!


    With this, Ye Yuan could not help being somewhat baffled.


    Looking at this, him saving her back then was purely a superfluous action.


    With the strength that Li-er showed, annihilating that group of people was truly too easy.


    Ye Yuan suddenly recalled the instances in the Eternal Splendour Palace. Thinking about it now, it was actually Li-er protecting him in the dark!


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt that he was so silly. Wasn''t diverting attacks, this sort of Concept of Space, precisely one of the abilities of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye?


    It was just that the situation back then was too complicated and Ye Yuan did not think too deeply as well.


    Recalling it now, Ye Yuan''s gratitude towards Li-er truly could not be any greater.


    These many months, Li-er was actually lurking by his side the entire time and moved to assist when he was in peril.


    And this time, Li-er used the Moonlight Heavenly Eye once more, causing the two kinds of spirit physiques tearing at her divine soul to be even greater, resulting to her ailment to finally erupt.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was definitely the most painful time for Li-er''s divine soul!


    Zhao Tianyin was not some garbage opponent. Li-er inevitably exhausted considerable soul force to use the Moonlight Heavenly Eye to cast it on Zhao Tianyin. This was undoubtedly heaping one disaster on top of another to Li-er''s present medical condition!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan involuntarily blamed himself immensely and was touched.


    Looking at it now, Li-er most likely followed him and protected him because he saved her and help her diagnose her medical condition.


    How could this not move Ye Yuan?


    "Master, Senior . . . is she alright?" Xiao Ruyan asked worriedly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Won''t have any major issues for the time being. But . . ."


    "But what?" Xiao Ruyan asked puzzledly.


    "Nothing. I indeed know her. But, her current appearance is radically different from the first time I met her. So I didn''t recognize." Ye Yuan said."


    "Like I said, how can Master possibly not know Senior!"


    "Haha. She won''t have any major problem for the time being, but I still have to recover my strength as soon as possible to help her refine some things. Ruyan, I burned 50% blood essence at one go. My body is too weak right now and simply can''t refine medicinal pills. These two days, I''ll guide you by the side; you''ll be helping Master in recovering strength as soon as possible!" Ye Yuan said.

 442 Li-er’s Background

    After half a day, Xiao Ruyan was drenched in sweat, panting daintily by the Square Cauldron''s side.


    "M-Master, Disciple was fortunate to not have failed the assignment and finally refined the Essence Vigor Pill!"


    Although dead tired, Xiao Ruyan appeared rather excited.


    The use of the Essence Vigor Pill was to help martial artists recover blood essence. It was very hard to refine High-Level Tier 3 medicinal pill.


    To Xiao Ruyan, the Essence Vigor Pill was exceptionally difficult to refine. With her past standards, it was simply impossible to refine.


    Yet, during this half a day period, under Ye Yuan''s guidance, she actually refined successfully like water flowing when a channel was formed.


    Ye Yuan had quite a number of medicinal herbs left on hand. Scraping it all together, he pooled two portions of medicinal herbs to refine the Essence Vigor Pill.


    In order not to waste the medicinal herbs, Ye Yuan made Xiao Ruyan simulate many times before agreeing to her getting to work on refining.


    Not surprising, the first portion was refined into a wasted dreg by her.


    Later on, she simulated many more times. On the second refinement, Xiao Ruyan actually directly refined a Middle-Grade Essence Vigor Pill!


    Xiao Ruyan was still drenched in sweat and actually had an aberrant style charm, making Ye Yuan''s head swim.


    "Cough, cough. You''ve worked hard,"Ye Yuan said rather embarrassedly.


    But Xiao Ruyan was in a state of exhilaration right now and did not notice Ye Yuan''s embarrassment. Wiping the sweat on her forehead, she said, "Not hard, not hard! Through this half a day of refining, Disciple completely has a feeling of being suddenly enlightened all at once! The things that Disciple learned in this half a day is simply even more than the things I''ve learned in the past few years!"


    Xiao Ruyan was not praising Ye Yuan because she had affections for him, but because she really had this sort of feeling.


    With Ye Yuan''s horizons, he had long had a well thought out plan on Xiao Ruyan''s merits and shortcomings. Guiding Xiao Ruyan was naturally highly tailored to her needs.


    Quietly, Xiao Ruyan unconsciously took the place of the disciple character and really learned alchemy skills from Ye Yuan.


    Alchemists all had this neurotic trait. Once they immerse into alchemy skills, they would completely be unable to extricate themselves.


    Moreover, what Ye Yuan brought to Xiao Ruyan was a brand new world; it was a world that she had never imagined before in the past.


    "Haha. This isn''t considered much. You have to study the jade slip I gave you well. It will be of great assistance to you. But presently, we don''t have the time. After I alleviate Miss Li-er''s symptoms in a little while, we''ll immediately head back to the Tranquil Cloud Sect," Ye Yuan said.


    "Ugh . . ." Muttering and muffled groans sounded. Li-er finally slowly woke up.


    "Senior!" When Xiao Ruyan saw the situation, she immediately went to support her.


    Although she woke up, Li-er was still feeling groggy. A piercing pain would occasionally transmit from her brain.


    "I . . . How long was I unconscious?" Li-er supported her forehead with her hand and asked rather painfully.


    "Senior, you''ve already fainted for the greater part of a day already. Master and I were very worried about your safety. Are you better now?" Xiao Ruyan said.


    "Master?" Li-er did not quite react yet. Involuntarily lifting her head, she just happened to meet with Ye Yuan''s gaze.


    "So, you''re already awake . . ." Li-er suddenly did not quite know how to face Ye Yuan. After all, her appearance was rather unexpected.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. Fortunately, there was Miss Li-er helping to guard my heart meridian. Otherwise, I would probably have croaked long ago already. Great kindness can''t be thanked with words. Miss Li-er''s sickness, leave it to Ye Yuan."


    Li-er''s eyelids drooped slightly as she said, "So, you already know it''s me . . . But Li-er didn''t help Mister Ye for the sake of carrying out this transaction with you."


    Although Li-er''s words were quite calm, Ye Yuan still detected a hint of her sullen anger.


    "This Ye isn''t making a deal with Miss Li-er either. This is a promise. I''m true to my words. No matter how arduous this promise is, this Ye will definitely accomplish it!" Ye Yuan said composedly.


    Li-er trembled slightly. She could feel Ye Yuan''s sincerity and resolution.


    Accompanying along the way, she had a great understanding of what kind of person Ye Yuan was as well. Ye Yuan saying such words, even if he were to die, he would also fulfill his promise!


    This man was absolutely true to his words!


    "Thank you . . ." Li-er did not decline and just lightly said these two words.


    "Miss Yue accompanied all the way and moved to help out many times. This grace, Ye Yuan engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, if not for Miss Yue making a move this time, this Ye would surely be disgraced to death. Want to thank, it''s also me thanking Miss. Moreover . . . in order to save me, Miss did not stint on drawing on the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, resulting in your health condition deteriorating. If this Ye doesn''t cure Miss, even I myself won''t forgive myself!" Ye Yuan said.


    This shock that Li-er received was not small. She said in astonishment, "You . . . You actually know my surname?"


    Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "I should have guessed it long ago! The last time I met Miss Yue, you were just a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. This Ye even thought that the Lower Realms gave birth to such a monstrous spirit physique again. Thinking about it now, a natural-born Moonlight Heavenly Eye physique, apart from the Bright Moon City''s Yue Family, who else could have such an innate spirit physique?"


    With Ye Yuan said this, Li-er was even more shocked beyond belief. "You actually even know about Bright Moon City! You . . . Just who are you?"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "This Ye has my own difficulties. This point isn''t convenient to disclose."


    Li-er was unbelievably amazed and actually forgot about her headache for a moment. How did a Lower Realms'' puny little martial artist know about the Divine Realm''s Bright Moon City?


    The Bright Moon City''s Yue Family was renowned throughout the Divine Realm for their ocular arts. And the person who possesses the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, casting ocular arts would even be several times more powerful than ordinary people!


    And even for the Yue Family, those who possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye was extremely, extremely few too.


    These were all not secrets in the Divine Realm. But Ye Yuan was just a lower realm martial artist with an ordinary background. Just how in the world did he know this information?


    Li-er had a belly full of doubts and suspicions, but she also knew Ye Yuan''s character. Since he said that it was inconvenient to disclose, he clearly had things that he found hard to say. She naturally would not press on either.


    "Alright then . . . Since Mister Ye even knows about Bright Moon City, then I''ll re-introduce myself. I''m called Yue Mengli. I''m precisely a member of the Bright Moon City''s Yue Family," Yue Mengli sucked in a deep breath and said.


    "Yue Mengli . . . It is as the name suggests. It''s a fine name!" Ye Yuan reminisced this name.


    At this instant, Ye Yuan''s thoughts drifted back to the one and only time he went to Bright Moon City in his previous life.


    At that time, he answered Bright Moon City''s invitation and went to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill for the Bright Moon City Lord.


    During this trip, he happened to see a girl akin to rouge and jade once in Bright Moon City. And that girl''s name seemed to be called . . . Yue Mengli!


    Recalling it now, Ye Yuan finally superimposed that girl''s looks and the Yue Mengli before his eyes together.


    Were the transitions in life actually so coincidental . . .


    "Sigh . . . What''s the point of a good name either? Everyone says that beautiful girls often have tragic lives. To think that I can''t escape being strung along by fate either," Yue Mengli said with a dimmed expression.


    Ye Yuan recollected his thoughts and said, "Miss Yue doesn''t need to be like this. The word crisis conceals profound secrets. As long as you can resolve the conflict between these two kinds of spirit physiques, not only will Miss Yue be no different from ordinary people, you''ll even break out from the cocoon to become a butterfly, and become a peerlessly powerful existence!"

 443 Reuniting

    Ye Yuan''s words did not improve Yue Mengli''s mood much, looking as if she did not have much interest in becoming a peerless powerhouse.


    "Sigh. So what if invincible under the heaven? Forget it, forget it; don''t talk about this anymore. Didn''t you say that only by refining a Tier 8 Medicinal pill can you let my divine soul divide? But you . . ." Yue Mengli said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed so. Furthermore, you using the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye this time already hurt the divine soul further. This caused your condition''s flare-up to move forward some time. Right now, you . . . most likely only have two years left."


    Yue Mengli muttered under her breath, "Only two years huh . . ."


    Ye Yuan said, "Miss Yue don''t need to be disheartened. Although I''m unable to refine Tier 8 medicinal pills within two years, I have ways to delay the flare-up of the condition."


    "Oh? What ways?"


    "I wonder if Miss Yue has heard of the Azure Spirit Tree before?"


    Yue Mengli nodded and said, "It''s said that there''s a type of tree with a soul that can absorb the quintessence of heaven and earth. It can even give produce intelligence and cultivate like humans!"


    "That''s right! The Azure Spirit Tree''s tree trunk can secrete a kind of liquid named Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. This kind of fluid can nourish and repair the divine soul. Although it can''t eradicate your illness thoroughly, it can delay the time of flare up for your divine soul being torn apart, and lessen your pain. These two years'' time, I''ll think of ways to find the Azure Spirit Tree. If Miss Yue can mobilize the Yue Family''s forces to search for this tree, that would be for the best," Ye Yuan said.


    "Mobilize the Yue Family''s strength is it . . ." Yue Mengli seemed to be rather unwilling.


    Ye Yuan did not know what happened with Yue Mengli and the Yue Family. Presumably, there was some problems going around, so he advised, "Doesn''t matter. There are still two years. I''ll definitely find the Azure Spirit Tree for you!"


    Yue Mengli nodded and said, "Then, thank you very much, Mister Ye."


    Ye Yuan said, "Miss Yue wait for me for half a day first. I just happen to still have some medicinal herbs on hand that can help you make some medicinal soup. Although it''s not very effective against your condition, it can alleviate the agony of your divine soul ripping."


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan swallowed the Essence Vigor Pill that Xiao Ruyan refined and spent several hours on refining the medicinal strength. His injuries finally improved a little, and he could use some essence energy too.


    Ye Yuan came in front of the Square Cauldron and injected some essence energy inside. The Square Cauldron''s radiance showed slightly.


    Next, Ye Yuan retrieved several medicinal herbs from his storage ring and threw them into the Square Cauldron according to a fixed ratio.


    Very soon, those medicinal herbs turned into a pool of juice water.


    Ye Yuan used utensils to ladle the juice water and passed it to Yue Mengli.


    "This . . ." Yue Mengli said hesitantly.


    Martial artists were not foreign to alchemy. But this sort of mixed medicinal soup was not often seen.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This is Five Flower Heart Calming Soup. It''s refined using five types of Tier 4 medicinal herb flower petals. It has the effects of calming one''s nerves. While it''s not some miracle panacea, it can alleviate your headache symptom. You try it."


    Yue Mengli did not doubt Ye Yuan''s words and directly tilted her head back and drank it.


    Very soon, Yue Mengli felt like a gust of cool breeze blew past her divine soul; comfortable to the max. Her initially somewhat agitated emotions calmed down too at this time.


    Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan and exclaimed in shock, "A few stalks of Tier 4 medicinal herbs can actually formulate out such a miraculous medicinal soup! To think that Tier 4 medicinal herbs could actually have an effect on me! Truly inconceivable!"


    With Yue Mengli''s realm, Tier 4 medicinal pills were simply of not much effect at all.


    But Ye Yuan used five types of Tier 4 medicinal herb flower petals and could actually formulate out a medicinal soup that was effective on her. How could she not be astounded?


    "It just has the effect of calming one''s mind. It has no effect on your ailment at all," Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    His present realm was too low. At the very best, he could only refine Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. It did not have any effect on Yue Mengli at all.


    "This is already very impressive!" Yue Mengli sighed in admiration.


    "Yeah, Master! This is simply too miraculous! How did you do it? You must teach me later!" Xiao Ruyan also gasped with admiration.


    She was long stupefied from watching by the side!


    In this short while, Yue Mengli''s complexion was already much better compared to before.


    One had to know that Yue Mengli was a character who was even more powerful than the wind emperor. A couple of Tier 4 medicinal herb mixed together actually had an effect on her!


    "You want to learn, so I''ll just teach you later on. But you''d best not reach for what''s beyond your grasp. One step at a time. In here requires the use of the formations path. With your present standards, you''re unable to concoct it," Ye Yuan said.


    "Fine. I''ll just slowly learn! Stingy!" Xiao Ruyan pursed her lips and actually acted like a spoiled little girl.


    Facing two beauties, Ye Yuan also involuntarily had a feeling of being very fortunate in love affairs.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the energy to be immersed in love right now. He was rather worried about the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Ye Yuan released Mo Yuntian and the rest from the spatial spirit artifact. They still had vacant looks.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan did not undo their divine soul inhibitions all along.


    This sort of divine soul inhibitions was different from slave seals. It could be broken to restore one''s freedom.


    After planting a slave seal, the slave would not recognize other people as their master. Furthermore, there would also frequently be transactions and transfers between slaves. Placing slave seals clearly would not do.


    Hence, when selling slaves, most would set inhibitions on their divine souls to make it convenient for the owners to control.


    Ye Yuan reached his divine soul into Mo Yuntian''s sea of consciousness.


    Xiao Ruyan was taken aback from fright. She hurriedly said, "What are you doing, Master? Their divine souls had inhibitions placed by an extremely powerful figure. A moment of carelessness will damage their divine souls!"


    Ye Yuan cautiously helped Mo Yuntian remove the inhibitions while having enough strength to spare to say to Xiao Ruyan, "Just some trifling tricks."


    Indeed, in an instant, Mo Yuntian''s gaze gradually recovered its clarity.


    When he saw Ye Yuan in front of him, hot tears immediately flowed as he said, "Ju-Junior Brother! I didn''t think that I could still see you one day!"


    Seeing Mo Yuntian like this, Ye Yuan did not feel good in his heart either. This trip deep into the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan could be said to have nine chances to die and one chance to live, and nearly lost his life several times.


    In the end, if not for Yue Mengli making a move, he would even be humiliated by Zhao Tianyin to death!


    Thinking now, it was still riddled with tribulations.


    "Everything is over, all over . . ." Ye Yuan comforted.


    The two people made some small talk, and Ye Yuan started to remove the divine soul restrictions for the others.


    When the group of seniors saw Ye Yuan once again, they were all filled with a multitude of feelings, and immediately gave rise to the feeling of life after surviving a disaster.


    The few people made some small talk for a while when Ye Yuan suddenly said with a sigh, "Sadly, Elder Mei was imprisoned in the depths of the royal palace back then. I didn''t save him in time before my identity was discovered. Sigh . . ."


    Yue Mengli who had been silently watching these seniors thank Ye Yuan for the entire time by the side opened her mouth when she heard Ye Yuan mentioned Mei Zhen at this time, "I forgot to tell you. Elder Mei has already been rescued."


    As she said, Yue Mengli''s finger twitched. Two figures appeared in front of everyone.


    Very clearly, Yue Mengli also had an item similar to a spatial spirit artifact.


    One of them was precisely Mei Zhen who had not been seen for a long time!


    While the other person was naturally Yue Mengli''s maid, Yan-er.


    "Miss, why did you only let me out now! I was almost stifled to death!" Yan-er said unhappily.

 444 Sect Upheaval!

    "Elder Mei!"


    When everyone saw Mei Zhen, they were all overjoyed!


    Even Ye Yuan also looked at Yue Mengli with an astounded look, wanting to know what was going here.


    But he jumped in fright with this look. Yue Mengli changed into that sallow-faced ugly girl again. Furthermore, her realm became Crystal Formation Realm too.


    Ye Yuan had just reunited with his seniors and actually did not when Yue Mengli became like this.


    But Ye Yuan was well aware in his heart that Yue Mengli did not wish to expose her identity.


    And these seniors of Ye Yuan been through life and death several times and even had divine soul inhibitions placed by others. How would they still remember this ugly girl whom they had a chance encounter before?


    Yue Mengli said, "When Mister Ye was facing off with the Wind Emperor, that mysterious expert sneaked into the royal palace and rescued Elder Mei, and handed him to me."


    Yue Mengli turned herself into a mysterious expert, while she was just an ordinary martial artist. Furthermore, Ye Yuan even perceived the meaning behind these words. The reason why Yue Mengli arrived late was precisely in order to save Mei Zhen!


    It was just that she misgauged the situation and thought that Star Abyss could help Ye Yuan withstand for a while.


    Who knew that the Wind Emperor completely did not care about Star Abyss''s face and directly laid vicious hands on Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan immediately understood, and he followed up and said, "So that''s how it is! Really too grateful to that mysterious expert! Or else, none of us would be able to return this time!"


    Towards this woman whose looks were not in any way attractive, the group of seniors all did not pay much attention. Rather, it was Xiao Ruyan that made several people involuntarily look a couple more times. But their focus right now was still on Mei Zhen.


    Ye Yuan did not dawdle and very quickly helped Mei Zhen remove the divine soul inhibitions too.


    "I . . . I actually still have a day where I can see the light of day once more!" When Mei Zhen saw everyone, he was also overcome with emotions, and his entire being seemingly aged considerably. After a round of small talk, Mei Zhen suddenly said to Mo Yuntian and the rest, "Ye Yuan sneaked into the Fierce Gale World all alone. It was definitely near certain death! The ordeals experienced in-between this isn''t what we can imagine! And today, he actually rescued all of us. Within favor and reason, we should thank him!"


    As he said, Mei Zhen took the lead and gave a solemn bow to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had yet to support Mei Zhen up in time when the others followed with a solemn bow as well.


    "Elder Mei, Senior Brothers, rescuing you guys is something within my duty. We have to hurry back to Tranquil Cloud Sect and inform the matter of the Fierce Gale World invading to Lord Sect Master!" Ye Yuan said.


    Everyone naturally did not have reason to disagree. They packed up and headed towards Cloud Dream Mountain Range.


    . . . . . .


    A full day later, Ye Yuan''s group finally appeared outside the Cloud Dream Mountain Range.


    Looking at the blazing sun in the sky, everyone gave rise to a sigh in their hearts.


    "This entire way, we''ve already encountered quite a few waves of Fierce Gale World martial artists. Looks like the Cloud Dream Mountain Range has already become their base camp!" Mei Zhen said with a frown.


    "There has already been several months'' time since the passageway was linked. Fierce Gale World martial artists turning this place into the headquarters isn''t something strange."


    "Also don''t know what Tranquil Cloud Sect is like now. I''m very worried about Lord Sect Master and Master." Mo Yuntian said.


    "There is still several months'' time on foot needed from here to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Such a long time, I don''t know why kind of unforeseen event will happen either!" Mei Zhen said worriedly.


    The spirit boats on their bodies were long swiped clean by people. Now, they were virtually all on their own.


    Forget about spirit boats, even a single piece of essence crystal was a no.


    At this time, Xiao Ruyan who did not speak the entire time suddenly opened her mouth to say, "If it''s spirit boat, I still have one here. But, it''s just a low-grade spirit boat."


    Everybody was overjoyed hearing this.


    "That''s really great! Wonder if Miss Xiao''s spirit boat can be lent to us for use? Rest assured Miss Xiao, as long as we return to the sect, we''ll definitely give you sufficient recompense," Mei Zhen said.


    Along the way, everyone also came to know Xiao Ruyan''s origins and identity. As Ye Yuan''s presiding chief disciple, everyone would naturally give her sufficient respect.


    Furthermore, on the way, the blabbermouth Yan-er already uttered out the various kinds of things Ye Yuan did in the Fierce Gale World. It naturally shocked everyone until they were speechless for a long time.


    Ye Yuan was already at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm now. Just in terms of realm, he already caught up to Mo Yuntian, while his combat power even ditched everyone several streets behind.


    Even Mei Zhen this sect elder was far from being Ye Yuan''s match anymore.


    Just based on the match between Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan, apart from the sect master Luo Qingfeng, most likely, nobody in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect would dare to say that they could definitely win him.


    If they returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Ye Yuan''s position would naturally rise like how the boat rises when the water rise, and become the sect''s upper echelon.


    Everyone also knew that this meant that the day Ye Yuan left the Tranquil Cloud Sect was ever closer.


    Mei Zhen opened his mouth. It was naturally not nice for Xiao Ruyan to reject. The group rode the flying spirit boat and flew in the direction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Xiao Ruyan''s flying spirit boat''s quality was very high. The party only used seven to eight days'' time to arrive beyond Spirit Blessing Mountain.


    Through these few days of recuperation and assistance from medicinal pills, Ye Yuan''s injuries were already healed 70% - 80%.


    This remaining 20% - 30% was primarily making up for the deficit blood essence.


    This was awful for other martial artists. But Ye Yuan had his means to make up for these blood essence.


    It was just that he did not have the necessary medicinal herbs anymore, so he temporarily did not move to refine medicinal pills.


    Disembarking the spirit boat, everyone arrived outside the sect gates but discovered that there was nobody guarding outside the gates.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he immediately had a bad premonition.


    "Doesn''t seem right. Why would there be no disciples guarding the sect gates? Can''t . . . Can''t be that something happened, right?" Mei Zhen''s heart fluttered.


    "The sect protecting grand array is already broken. Looks like . . . an accident really happened to the sect. Go, let''s hurry over to take a look," Ye Yuan said sombrely.


    Seeing this sort of situation, everyone''s joy from surviving the disaster immediately evaporated into nothing.


    The group rushed over to the top of the mountain.


    Traveling to halfway up the mountain, everyone''s footsteps suddenly came to a halt and were stunned by the scene before their eyes.


    Within sight, were corpses wearing Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple outfits all around.


    The fresh blood already pooled to form small rivers, flowing quietly down the mountain, looking utterly ghastly.


    These disciples were all the sect''s outer-sect disciples. Their strength was not great, but massacring on a large-scale like this made Ye Yuan and co.''s fury ignite all at once!


    "Who . . . Who did this! Is this wanting to exterminate my Tranquil Cloud Sect to the last one?"


    Mo Yuntian''s entire body was trembling. This scene made his fury peak.


    "Blood debts to be paid in blood! If I find out who did this, I''ll definitely hack him into pieces!" Tian Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    The most composed Ti Wujiu was also livid at this time, tightly clenching both fists. Clearly, he was trying his best to curb his rage.


    "There seem to be essence energy undulations coming from the top of the mountain. There might be a fierce battle happening! Let''s hurry over!'' Ye Yuan suddenly said.

 445 Allow Me!

    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, everyone was filled with shock!


    Ye Yuan''s perception towards heaven and earth essence energy already reached such a level?


    Even Mei Zhen could not sense essence energy undulations coming from the top of the mountain too!


    But they did not have time to be astonished anymore. Since they returned at such an opportune moment, they naturally had to join the battle and protect the sect!


    "Go! Kill this pack of bastards and avenge these dead disciples!" Mei Zhen flashed his longsword and roared.


    "How can my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s thousands of years of inheritance be eradicated willy-nilly! Those who violate my sect, kill without pardon!" Tian Yu yelled.


    Ye Yuan did not speak and just quietly followed the group of seniors up the mountain.


    "Miss Yue, this matter, leave it to this Ye and my seniors to resolve ourselves. In the future, unless there are no other alternatives, Miss must not draw on soul force! If this continues, even immortals will find it hard to save as well," Ye Yuan transmitted his words.


    "Li-er knows. Many thanks for Mister Ye''s concern," Yue Mengli replied.


    Further up the mountain, there were increasingly more corpses. But among them also had enemy forces dead bodies mixed inside.


    Looking closely, everyone was even more taken aback with shock. On the bodies of these enemy forces'' disciples were actually wearing the Purple Mansion Sect''s attire!


    "This . . . What''s going on here? Could it be that the ones who invaded our Tranquil Cloud Sect are actually the Purple Mansion Sect?" Mei Zhen said in surprise.


    "If one were to say who has the greatest likelihood of invading our Tranquil Cloud Sect, it''s none other than the Heavenly Sky Sect! While the Purple Mansion Sect is strong, they actually dare to invade other sects under the Heavenly Sky Sect''s eyelids?" Mo Yuntian was also unbelievably shocked.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s might was indisputable. Only by combining the other seven sect''s strength could they maintain a delicate balance with the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    If the other seven sects had infighting, how could the Heavenly Sky Sect let go of such a good opportunity?


    Could the brains of the Purple Mansion Sect''s upper echelons all be damaged?


    "Did you all forget about Lin Feng?" Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Everyone was abruptly startled. How could they possibly forget Lin Feng?


    It was precisely Lin Feng''s masterpiece that threw them behind bars and even becoming slaves.


    "The Purple Mansion Sect endured patiently for many years. Their strength is most likely far from as simple as the surface! That Lin Feng''s age isn''t considered old and he actually has Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm cultivation. Not saying that they have large numbers of experts, but concealing a couple of Soul Sea Realm martial artists, it probably isn''t that easy for the Heavenly Sky Sect to want to discover," Ye Yuan said.


    With Ye Yuan saying this, everyone''s heart plummeted to rock bottom.


    The Purple Mansion Sect was a chess piece buried in the Endless World by the wind emperor. After so many years of secret development, their strength was most likely already unfathomable.


    Everyone had a feeling in their hearts that the Southern Domain''s situation right now most likely already underwent an earth-shaking change!


    But these were all for later. Mei Zhen and the others did not dare to dawdle and sped along the way and arrived at the mountain peak very soon.


    Within sight, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was already in an upheaval!


    There were fighting, and battle cries all around. Everywhere were dead bodies!


    The originally quiet and serene Spirit Blessing Mountain was already in an abyss of suffering right now.


    "Purple Mansion Sect bastards! You will all die a horrible death! Argh!" cried a Crystal Formation Realm disciple, giving a miserable cry and perished together with a Purple Mansion Sect disciple.


    Yet, this was just a minority situation. Regardless whether it was in numbers or strength, the Purple Mansion Sect disciples far surpassed the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Just the Purple Mansion Sect''s Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were as many as over a dozen. Although they were only low-stage Sea Transformation Realm, to deal with some Crystal Formation Realm disciples, it was ample.


    While on the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side, they actually did not see a single Sea Transformation Realm elder!


    The battle was simply a one-sided situation!


    Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were facing many people from the other side alone. How could they be these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' match?


    When Mei Zhen and the others saw such a tragic state, how could they hold back? They wielded their swords and were about to charge forward.


    But before his figure had yet to move, he was held back by someone from behind.


    Turning around to take a look, it was actually Ye Yuan.


    Only to hear Ye Yuan lightly leave behind two words as he walked past Mei Zhen, "Allow me."


    Ye Yuan''s figure drifted and arrived at the center of the battlefront.


    Immediately, there was a Purple Mansion Sect disciple who charged up without fear of death!


    An azure sword light instantly appeared. That Purple Mansion Sect disciple had yet to even react, and his head and body were separated.


    "Looks like this Purple Mansion Sect''s attack has already thoroughly infuriated Mister Ye!" Yue Mengli said calmly.


    "Truly a bunch of fellows who don''t know life from death! They probably don''t even know how terrifying Mister Ye will be once he becomes enraged!" Yan-er also had a cold smile at the corners of her mouth.


    Towards the Purple Mansion Sect''s sect annihilating conduct, Yan-er was very disdainful in her heart.


    "This . . . What''s Junior Apprentice Brother Ye going to do?" Tian Yu asked puzzledly.


    Mo Yuntian seemed to have guessed a little and said in shock, "He didn''t let us attack; could it be that he wants to deal with all of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples alone?"


    "W-What kind of joke is this?! There are several hundred Purple Mansion Sect disciples here. Furthermore, the vast majority of them are Crystal Formation Realm martial artists. Among them, there are even over a dozen Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye he . . . wants to deal with it alone?" Tian Yu almost jumped up.


    But Xiao Ruyan''s curled her mouth and said with a proud look, "You guys watch well. Master alone is enough!"


    The group of seniors all exchanged glances and looked at Ye Yuan with disbelief.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan pointed Canghua Sword at the sky. Countless flower petals started condensing in the air!


    "This . . . is this Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s Thousand Flowing Petals? Is there a mistake? How could he condense so much flower petals?"


    Tian Yu had seen Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals once. But back then, Ye Yuan was still just a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist. At that time, although the power of this move was great, it was not formidable to this sort of extent!


    There were increasingly more and more flower petals condensing in the air. It finally alarmed all of the martial artists present!


    "What''s going on here? Why would it rain flower petals from the sky?"


    "You dumb*ss. This is formed from heaven and earth essence energy. Somebody is casting a skill!"


    "W-Who actually has such formidable strength? Even First Elder probably can''t mobilize such horrifying heaven and earth essence energy either, right?"


    "Quick, look! It''s that boy casting it!"


    At this time, there were finally several Sea Transformation Realm martial artists who felt that something was wrong. Somebody shouted out, "Quickly! The few of you go together and finish off that punk! This move of that punk is somewhat sinister!"


    When these words were finished saying, over a dozen late-stage Crystal Formation Realm martial artists and several Sea Transformation Realm martial artists abandoned their original opponents and all converged towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene coldly, and from his mouth, he said coolly, "All of you dregs can go and die already."


    The flower petals which covered the entire sky seemed to have spirituality at this moment, churning towards the Purple Mansion Sect martial artists in clusters!


    The hundreds of Purple Mansion Sect experts present all suffered the assault of the flower petals. And those Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were heavily focused targets.


    The flower petals gathered on their side were multiple times of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!


    After two breaths, there were Purple Mansion Sect disciples starting to give off miserable cries.


    After five breaths, more and more Purple Mansion Sect disciple were giving off miserable cries.


    For a moment, innumerable tragic cries linked up, reverberating through the skies.


    Those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples who stopped could not resist shuddering when they heard their opponents'' wretched screams.

 446 Southern Domain’s Change

    Under the soaring flowers, it was akin to a meat grinder, wantonly reaping the lives of these Purple Mansion Sect disciples.


    After a hundred breaths, the entire mountain peak was already deathly silent.


    Apart from Yue Mengli and a small minority, everyone was struck dumb with amazement by this scene.


    All the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were staring fixedly at that young man''s figure in the center of the battlefield, speechless from shock.


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan was akin to a fiend god. Even the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were not able to easily recognize him.


    "I-Is it Ye Yuan?"


    After a long time, someone suddenly asked weakly, finally breaking the battlefield''s serenity.


    Ye Yuan turned around to look. It was actually someone familiar!


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Jing!" Ye Yuan also said with a faint smile.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Zhang Jing''s entire body trembled. "Y-Ye Yuan! It''s really you! So you''re alright! That''s really great!"


    As he was talking, Zhang Jing''s eyes actually welled up a little with hot tears.


    Zhang Jing was the person who led Ye Yuan in the sect. Although the two people did not have any deep friendship afterward, time passed and circumstances have changed. Everyone''s feelings were seemingly sublimated.


    Moreover, Zhang Jing had considerable comprehensions after the fight with Ye Yuan. At this time, he had long become a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!


    Hence, in his heart, Zhang Jing was still fairly grateful towards Ye Yuan.


    This time, Ye Yuan and the others entered deep into the mystic realm, and not a single one actually returned. Everybody no longer held hopes towards their survival.


    Now, when they met, the agitation in Zhang Jing''s heart could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Not just me alone. You look!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan pointed to Mo Yuntian and the rest. Mo Yuntian and the rest also moved closer at this time and gathered together with everyone.


    When Zhang Jing saw Mei Zhen, Mo Yuntian, and the rest, tears could not resist flowing again.


    "Elder Mei, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo . . . Everybody. . . Everybody came back! T-Truly excellent! We even thought . . . even thought . . ." Zhang Jing choked and did not even finish saying his words.


    Seeing Zhang Jing so agitated, Mo Yuntian and the rest had a multitude of feelings surge up too. They choked and said, "The mystic realm trip this time was indeed near-certain death. It was all thanks to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye that we could return safely."


    Zhang Jing was surprised, and his gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan again, his face showing disbelief.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you . . . you''re actually already at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm!"


    Ye Yuan''s extreme massacring move previously made everyone''s mind sustain a tremendous impact, and they forgot about his realm for a moment.


    Only at this time, did Zhang Jing suddenly notice that several months of not meeting, and Ye Yuan was actually at the Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm already; increased a full major realm higher than before he left.


    Such an improvement speed was seriously too outrageous.


    Furthermore, that move earlier . . .


    Was that really released by a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist?


    Zhang Jing''s eye was filled with doubt and felt tremendous curiosity towards Mo Yuntian and the others'' trip to the mystic realm.


    Ye Yuan saw through Zhang Jing''s uncertainty and said smilingly, "This matter is hard to say in a single sentence. I''ll tell in detail again later on with seniors. Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang''s improvement these few months isn''t small either!"


    Zhang Jing gave an odd expression and said could not help laughing, "Don''t ridicule me, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. Compared to you, what does mine even count as?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled, but then he enquired, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang, what in the world happened to the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Where are Sect Master, Hall Head Xiao, and the rest? Also, why is there not even a single Sea Transformation Realm elder in the sect?"


    Zhang Jing''s expression changed, and he said hatefully, "The Southern Domain''s skies have completely changed! This Purple Mansion Sect concealed too deeply!"


    Zhang Jing recounted the events that happened to the Southern Domain these few months briefly to everyone.


    Turned out that after Ye Yuan and the others left, Luo Qingfeng, Xiao Jian, and Ling Potian immediately entered closed-seclusion to cultivate, and planned on breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm in one go!


    Luo Qingfeng did not disappoint. A month later, under Skymaple''s assistance, he finally broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, becoming the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s second Soul Sea Realm martial artist!


    Furthermore, Luo Qingfeng was a martial artist. His combat power was much stronger compared to Skymaple''s!


    With Luo Qingfeng this Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be said to stand firmly on this title of Eight Great Sects.


    Xiao Jian and Ling Potian also both broke through and left seclusion not long after. The two of them broke through to half-step Soul Sea Realm at the same time!


    Regarding this news, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    Before he left, he knew that Skymaple was refining Soul Luring Pills and medicinal pills that could aid Sea Transformation Realm martial artists to break through. The few of them breaking through was naturally something within reason.


    Under such circumstances, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be said to be prospering with each passing day.


    Yet, over a month ago, all of this underwent a change!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect suddenly took the road to ruin by sending out hero invitations to the seven great sects, inviting the sect masters of the various great sects to carry out a Southern Domain Sect Great Meet.


    Even though Luo Qingfeng broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, the Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful after all. The sect masters of the seven great sects still kept the appointment and went to the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Yet, after half a month, news suddenly came from the seven great sects, saying that the Heavenly Sky Sect forced the seven great sect masters, requesting the seven great sects to be merged into the Heavenly Sky Sect. The seven great sect masters refused to obey even in death and were detained by the Heavenly Sky Sect!


    With this, the Southern Domain''s seven great sects completely exploded, all asking to send forces to suppress the Heavenly Sky Sect!


    Right at this time, the Purple Mansion Sect came out to raise their fist and shout, asking for the seven great sects to gather together to launch a crusade against the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect naturally had no reason to reject this. Grand Elder Skymaple and Xiao Jian brought a group of elders and elite disciples, and they joined the expedition''s great army.


    But Skymaple was wary before he departed, gathering twenty of the sect''s genius disciples with good prospects together, and letting a Sea Transformation Realm elder lead the team to quietly head for the Northern Domain.


    Yet, with this departure, they did not return anymore!


    A few days ago, only when an elder escaped back to the sect with heavy injuries, did the disciples know that turned out the entire Southern Domain was hoodwinked by the Purple Mansion Sect!


    The Heavenly Sky Sect convening this Southern Domain Sect Great Meet was truly an action seeking their own doom.


    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s Sect Master was very arrogant during the great meet and wanted to forcefully integrate the seven great sects into the Heavenly Sky Sect. These were all the truth.


    But the final result was that the Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master, He Mingde, suddenly rose in revolt and took control of the other seven sect''s sect masters!


    Only then did the seven great sect masters know that this normally very low-profile He Mingde was actually a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!


    In the Southern Domain, late-stage Soul Sea Realm was basically an invincible existence.


    Before the Southern Domain''s Sect Great Meet, He Mingde had long set up a backup plan and took control of the Heavenly Sky Sect very quickly, sealing off the news.


    The Purple Mansion Sect at this time, as the second strongest sect, lured out all of the six great sect''s elite forces under summons.


    In the end, when they were launching a collective attack, the Purple Mansion Sect suddenly launch an attack, catching the six sects completely unprepared!


    Only at this time did the six sects know of the Purple Mansion Sect''s terrifying strength!


    In this battle, over a dozen Soul Sea Realm powerhouses appeared all at once in the Purple Mansion Sect. Even if the six great sects joined hands, how could they possibly be the Purple Mansion Sect''s match?


    Let alone that the Purple Mansion Sect concealed so deeply, catching everybody completely off guard!


    With Sea Transformation Realm experts managing the array formation, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting great formation was already practically existing in name only. Under the teaming up of over a dozen Sea Transformation Realm experts, they attacked inside very quickly.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan and the others reached, saving a group of fellow apprentices.

 447 Venting Anger

    Mei Zhen and the rest sucked in a cold breath when they heard it. Over a dozen Soul Sea Realm powerhouses could virtually sweep across the Southern Domain!


    Even the so-called number one great sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect, did not have so many Soul Sea Realm powerhouses either!


    Let alone that the Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master was even a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse.


    The Southern Domain at this time was already the Purple Mansion Sect''s world!


    Ye Yuan also furrowed his brows when he heard and asked, "Sect Master they all . . ."


    Zhang Jing said, "The Purple Mansion Sect imprisoned all of the seven sect''s upper echelons in the Heavenly Sky Sect''s Towering Peak, and they have three Soul Sea Realm powerhouse standing guard!"


    When everyone heard that, they all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    As long as they were alive, there was hope.


    But Zhang Jing''s follow up words plunged their hearts to rock-bottom again. Zhang Jing said, "The Purple Mansion Sect seized a large batch of prisoners this time. I heard that they would kill a batch every day in front of the sect master and the various sect''s grand elders. The goal is in order to make them surrender. I heard that there were already quite a number of the six sect''s upper echelons that have surrendered. I don''t know . . . how long Grand Elder and Sect Master they all can endure."


    "Purple Mansion Sect this bunch of people is really too despicable! To actually be able to do this sort of inhuman thing! They will suffer the wrath of heaven!"


    When Mei Zhen and the rest heard these words, they all gnashed their teeth in hatred.


    Ye Yuan suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Looks like the Purple Mansion Sect has already been engineering this scheme for a very long time! Up until now, the Southern Domain''s people are still unaware of what happened!"


    Everyone''s faces changed. Only now did they became aware of the severity of the problem!


    Mei Zhen and the rest who went deep into the Fierce Gale World all knew that this was the Purple Mansion Sect being the vanguard!


    The Purple Mansion Sect was still using the identity as one of the Eight Great Sects right now to unite the Southern Domain. The opposition received would be much lower.


    But by the time the Fierce Gale World invaded and the upper echelons of the Eight Great Sects all surrendered, the Southern Domain could no longer muster up an effective resistance.


    At that time, the Southern Domain''s eight great sect''s land would instantly become the Fierce Gale World''s base area!


    They could easily gain a foothold in the Southern Domain and launch an attack on the Northern Domain!


    With the Fierce Gale World''s martial strength, attacking the Northern Domain was most likely something inevitable.


    Ye Yuan did not think that just three to four months'' time passed and the matter was already severe to this sort of extent.


    Zhang Jing perceived Ye Yuan''s overtones and noticed that there seemed to be some things that he did not know. He could not resist asking, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I wonder . . . what happened?"


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and recounted the matter of the Fierce Gale World invading to Zhang Jing. After Zhang Jing heard the details, his complexion was deathly pale.


    Even if he racked his brains, he never would have thought that the Purple Mansion Sect was actually a chess piece left in the Endless World by the Fierce Gale World!


    This way, the Southern Domain might become the Fierce Gale World''s territory at any moment!


    Could it be that they were all going to become another world''s martial artists'' slaves?


    Zhang Jing could not help shuddering.


    Right then, a large group of people suddenly rushed up from below the mountain. The one in the lead was actually a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm expert!


    What these people were wearing were shockingly Purple Mansion Sect outfits!


    "En? What a bunch of dunces. Sent them to come to take care of the wrap-up and they were actually killed off by a bunch of trash!" said the person with a frown.


    When Zhang Jing saw the arrival, his expression immediately changed drastically. The strongest here was Mei Zhen. But he was only Third Level Sea Transformation Realm strength as well.


    Facing a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist, no matter how they looked at these people, there was no possibility of survival either!


    Zhang Jing wielded his sword and blocked in front of Ye Yuan, saying with a grave face, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, when the fighting starts in a while, I''ll cover for you. You take advantage of the chaos to kill your way outside! With your strength, as long as you don''t face up against that Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, you should be able to escape."


    Zhang Jing saw Ye Yuan''s combat strength earlier. It was overwhelmingly shocking for a moment.


    But he did not think that Ye Yuan could win a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm. Between the two of them was an entire major realm difference.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan said lightly, "Relax. This kind of trash, I haven''t taken them seriously. Elder Mei, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, you bring the fellow apprentices to fall back. I''ll go and have a direct exchange with this bunch of dregs!"


    Mo Yuntian knew that he could not help and said with a nod, "Alright. Junior Apprentice Brother Zhang, let''s fall back. Don''t hinder Junior Apprentice Brother Ye venting his anger."


    Zhang Jing was stunned, and his mind was somewhat in a blur.


    Vent anger?


    Venting anger on a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?


    A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm venting anger on a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?


    Wasn''t this joke a little big?


    But did Senior Apprentice Brother Mo look like somebody who made jokes? Could it be that Ye Yuan really had this strength?


    Zhang Jing''s mind would not quite wrap itself around it for a moment.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was very strong. He also knew that Ye Yuan could cross realms to battle. But leaping an entire major realm to face the enemy was rather exaggerated, right?


    That move earlier was certainly very strong. But that was a large area slaughtering martial technique. Was it useful against a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm?


    Mei Zhen and Mo Yuntian brought everyone to move back, instantly highlighting Ye Yuan out.


    When that Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm saw this scene, he could not help bursting into laughter, saying, "Haha! Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is really pathetic! To actually let a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm boy come send himself to death? Hey, that Sea Transformation Realm, were you born in the Year of the Tortoise? To actually send such a boy to come and die?"


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said with a cold smile, "Dealing with you, I alone am sufficient. If you can touch me even a little, consider it my loss. Want me killed or dismembered, up to you."


    That Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was stunned, and then laughed even more exaggeratedly, while the Purple Mansion Sect disciples behind him also laughed loudly without stopping.


    The Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm turned around and said to the people behind him with a laugh, "Did you all hear that? He said that if I touched him even a little, it counts as his loss."


    "Hahaha! Of course I heard that! I even thought that I heard it wrong! Turns out that Elder Du heard the same thing as I did. Is this boy . . . an idiot?"


    "I''m dying of laughter! A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm said to a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm: If you touch me, consider it my loss . . . Hahaha! I can''t control myself anymore!"


    "The Tranquil Cloud Sect is too amazing. To actually send out such a joker. Is this to make us all die of laughter? Haha! I''m dying!"


    There were quite a few Sea Transformation Realm experts in this group of people. Their strength was uncommon. It was more than enough to deal with these Tranquil Cloud Sect''s stragglers and disbanded soldiers.


    And Ye Yuan''s words completely jabbed their funny bone.


    Towards these peoples mockery, Ye Yuan was expressionless. He said lightly, "I''ll give you a chance for ten moves. After ten moves, you won''t have any more chances . . ."


    "Haha! I, Du Yushan, roamed the Southern Domain freely for so many years. This is the first time I''ve met such a funny teenager like you! Killing you is somewhat pitiful. Leaving you behind to be a slave to entertain us brothers is something pretty good. However . . . you all killed so many people from the Purple Mansion Sect. I can only . . . send you to go meet King Yama!"


    Finished talking, Du Yushan raised a hand with a smile, striking out a palm towards Ye Yuan through the air.


    This palm seemed slow, but was in reality, fast; instantly mustering horrifying heaven & earth essence energy. Killing a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist was very much as he pleased.


    Yet . . . this blast of palm wind passed through Ye Yuan''s body just like this.


    Du Yucheng''s smile was frozen on his face, while the laughter of those behind him ceased abruptly.

 448 Despair!

    "Elder Du, you aren''t deliberately losing on purpose, right? A Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm boy, and you actually can''t even take care of him in one move?"


    "Yeah. Did you hear him talk about ten moves, so you want to play with him? That move earlier completely did not hurt nor itch!"


    Everyone behind clearly did not believe that Du Yushan could not handle a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    Yet, Du Yushan knew that he did not hold back in this attack. He used a full 30% strength!


    30% strength was not considered much. But it was plenty to kill a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    However, this boy before his eyes actually evaded easily. It was seriously rather abnormal.


    "Ha-Haha! This boy said ten moves earlier, so this elder thought about playing with him. I want to see how many times he can dodge my attacks," Du Yucheng said with a look of embarrassment.


    "Haha! Play then, play then. Just a bunch of dregs. Let them feel what is called despair!" Someone concurred.


    "Hehe. Again! I''m going to play around well with this little trash!" Du Yucheng said with a laugh.


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly with his face showing contempt. He extended his hand and beckoned with his finger. The intent of scorn was completely unmasked.


    Du Yucheng''s expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you''re looking for death!"


    As he said, Du Yucheng''s palm assaulted once again. This time, he used 70% strength. The power could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    One palm passed. Ye Yuan still stood with his hands behind his back, like that palm earlier completely did not happen.


    Ye Yuan was still beckoning his index finger with a disdainful look.


    This time, Du Yushan felt that his face could not hang in there. Gritting his teeth, his entire person vanished from where he stood.


    Bang!


    A huge hole was blasted out on the ground behind Ye Yuan. Du Yushan''s figure appeared.


    Only to see Ye Yuan slowly turn around and say coolly, "Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm only has this bit of capabilities? Double up!"


    "Stinking brat! It''s you yourself seeking death. You only hav your self to blame for this!" Du Yushan gnashed his teeth hatefully and said.


    Du Yushan erupted completely, staring at Ye Yuan and bombarding indiscriminately. Horrifying heaven and earth essence energy was mobilized, blasting towards Ye Yuan one move after another!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Dirt flew around the place Ye Yuan was standing at, kicking up clouds of dust, and blocking people''s sight.


    In a twinkle, ten moves passed. Du Yushan actually felt like collapsing. These ten moves earlier, he already used all of his strength. Under such an attack, Ye Yuan could not possibly survive!


    "Hahaha! Still be unbridled with me! This stinking brat really doesn''t know how the word ''death'' is written!" Du Yushan said with a loud laugh.


    "Heh heh, to actually dare infuriate Elder Du. This boy is really soft in the head! I reckon that he''s already blasted into meat paste now, right?"


    "However, this boy has some capabilities. To actually be able to evade Elder Du''s first three rounds of attacks. He can also be considered as quite capable!"


    "Just a self-conceited fool who was insolent because of his ability. Such a person is destined to not live long."


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s people were perfectly aware of Du Yucheng''s attacks. Those few moves earlier were his trump cards. How could Ye Yuan possibly survive under such horrifying attacks?


    Zhang Jing''s expression changed. Du Yushan''s attacks earlier were too terrifying. Separated so far away made him feel asphyxiated too.


    How could a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist possibly survive under such an attack?


    Zhang Jing was just about to take some action when he was halted by Mo Yuntian. "Relax. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn''t that kind of wildly arrogant person. Since he dared to receive his ten moves, he must have a grasp of the situation in his mind."


    Mo Yuntian''s voice had yet to fade when an ice-cold voice came from that disorderly patch of dust as if it came from the underworld!


    "Seriously weak! You dregs from the Fierce Gale World only have this bit of ability? Since that''s the case, then go and die!"


    Hearing this voice, Du Yucheng''s expression changed drastically. His scalp tingled and a feeling of terror welled up from the bottom of his heart.


    He instinctively felt that things were not good and turned around to flee!


    The sound of a dragon roar came from within the dust. The wind and fire colossal dragon carried a voice which made peoples'' heart palpitate charged over towards Du Yushan with extreme speed!


    "Ahh! Help!"


    Du Yushan had yet to run far when he was completely swallowed up by the colossal dragon!


    The wretched screams entered everyone''s ears. Regardless whether it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples or the people from the Purple Mansion Sect, they were all quaking in their boots with fear.


    Especially the Purple Mansion Sect. Each and every one of their faces showed immense shock.


    A kind of feeling called fear rose up from the bottom of everyone''s heart. Including those Sea Transformation Realm elders!


    Even the Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm Du Yushan crumbled in one blow like so, what did they . . . even count as?


    Only persisted for a few breaths of time, and then Du Yushan fell completely silent.


    The wind and fire colossal dragon dissipated. Only a mass of black smoke rose up. Du Yushan actually did not even leave behind a corpse!


    And right then, the dust that was stirred up by Du Yushan''s attacks gradually dispersed, revealing that slightly skinny looking profile of Ye Yuan''s.


    The eyes the Purple Mansion Sect disciples looked at Ye Yuan with was like looking at a primordial behemoth.


    "H-Half-step Sea Transformation! This . . . how is this possible?" A Purple Mansion Sect''s Sea Transformation Realm elder''s old eyes nearly dropped to the ground.


    A moment ago, he was still Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm. In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually became a Half-Step Sea Transformation existence.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s gaze also just happened to turn towards him, and actually flashed him a smile, saying, "Is it very despondent? Now . . . can you all understand the feelings of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples?"


    Ye Yuan''s smile looked like a completely harmless neighbor''s big boy. But who would really take him to be a big boy from next door?


    This young man was simply the God of Death descending upon the world!


    "R-R-Run! Quickly run!" That Sea Transformation Realm elder turned around and fled.


    Only then, did the group of Purple Mansion Sect disciple startle awake abruptly, scattering apart like birds and beasts.


    "Ah! Help!"


    "That''s a demon! Quickly flee!"


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples instantly fell into a chaotic mess.


    They wished that their parents had given them a couple more legs to let them run a little faster.


    Very soon, all of their figures stopped abruptly, as if they were fixed in place!


    Because in front of them, countless flower petals condensed and formed, sealing off all of their escape routes!


    That Sea Transformation Realm elder who was the first to run clenched his teeth and released his aura fully, wanting to charge past.


    Only to hear slashing sounds echo out. A badly mutilated corpse fell down from the air.


    This time, everyone despaired.


    Slam!


    A Purple Mansion Sect disciple kneeled down towards Ye Yuan and actually cried, "M-Mercy! I know my error! Spare my dog life! Sniff . . . Sniff . . ."


    This kneel of his was akin to a plague, instantly infecting all of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples.


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciple all kneel down towards Ye Yuan, repenting and begging for mercy.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "When you all were killing those fellow sect members of mine below the mountain, did you ever thought about showing mercy? If I didn''t make it over here in time today, most likely, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not have even fowls or dogs spared anymore, right? Therefore . . . all of you go and die!"

 449 Defending Tranquil Cloud Sect to the Death!

    Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, Zhang Jing was dumbfounded for a long time.


    Only a short three months or so had passed, and Ye Yuan was already an existence on a completely different level from them these fellow apprentices.


    Not only did he rise a full major realm, he even had the strength to instantly kill a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in terms of combat strength already!


    Crossing a major realm to battle. This was something that Zhang Jing did not even dare to imagine. But Ye Yuan accomplished it effortlessly.


    Recalling back when he left Ye Yuan into the sect, Zhang Jing had a feeling like it was a whole other life.


    That young man not far away was destined to be someone from a different world from them mere mortals!


    "A few months of not seeing him, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye actually already matured to such a level!" Zhang Jing muttered under his breath.


    In truth, the astonishment in Mo Yuntian''s heart was not much lesser than Zhang Jing''s. Although he knew that Ye Yuan''s present combat power was stunning, this was his first time truly seeing it!


    Killing a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm in one move, the shock from such an impact was too great.


    Hearing Zhang Jing''s emotional sigh, Mo Yuntian said in relief, "It was also thanks to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the few of us would have long died in a foreign land. These fellow sect apprentices would probably also die without a burial ground!"


    Mei Zhen and the rest crowded in front of Ye Yuan and asked concernedly, "Ye Yuan, your body still isn''t fully recovered. Are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not a big issue."


    Compared to the fight with Zhao Chenggan, this earlier could only be said to be a warm-up.


    Likewise, Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm, the disparity between the two was too great!


    Mei Zhen nodded and said, "Good that you''re fine! Ye Yuan, you''re the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s final hope now. You must take care not to force things."


    "Thank you for Elder Mei''s concern. I''ll take notice."


    "En. Now that the sect is already broken up, where . . . should we go?"


    When Mei Zhen said these words, everyone perked their ears up, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan would say.


    At this time now, Ye Yuan was already where all of Tranquil Cloud Sect''s hopes lay.


    Even Mei Zhen this Sea Transformation Realm elder also quietly took Ye Yuan as the person in charge of things.


    Ye Yuan ruminated for a moment and said, "Since Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, and the rest are not dead, we obviously have to think of ways to rescue them out! But we aren''t the Purple Mansion Sect''s match right now. Therefore . . . we can only wait!"


    "Wait? Wait for what?" Mei Zhen did not quite understand Ye Yuan''s intentions and asked in puzzlement.


    "Wait for an opportunity! I believe that the Purple Mansion Sect will discover that something unforeseen happened on here on the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side very soon. They are bound to send even stronger martial artists over here! And what we need to do is to stand fast at this final piece of locus of the Southern Domain and wait for the Northern Domain''s response!" Ye Yuan said.


    When these words of Ye Yuan came out, everyone''s faces changed.


    "You''re saying, we are to defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death?" Mei Zhen asked in surprise.


    "That''s right!"


    "But . . . Ye Yuan, I know that you''re very strong and that there are already very few Sea Transformation Realm martial artists that can threaten your existence. But you have to know that the Purple Mansion Sect has over a dozen Soul Sea Realm powerhouses!" Mei Zhen reminded.


    He did not know where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    Although it was hard to comprehend that Ye Yuan could deal with Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, the reality happened right before his eyes. He had no choice but to accept it.


    Yet to say that Ye Yuan could deal with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, he would not believe it even if he was pummeled to death either!


    Take ten thousand steps back to say, even if Ye Yuan could really deal with Soul Sea Realm martial artists, the Purple Mansion Sect had over a dozen Soul Sea Realms!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan could sweep them clean all at once?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Of course I won''t be foolish enough to clash head-on with Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. However . . . we still have the sect protecting grand array, don''t we?"


    "Sect protecting grand array?" Mei Zhen was stunned, and then he said in bewilderment, "Without Soul Sea Realm martial artists or a powerhouse with Sect Master''s level of strength, the sect protecting grand array simply can''t unleash power at all! Furthermore, even if they are here presiding over the array formation, they can at most withstand early-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists. But the Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master is a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!"


    Ye Yuan did not reply Mei Zhen''s words, but he swept a glance over the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s remaining disciples, saying coolly, "I wonder if my fellow seniors and juniors . . . can trust me, Ye Yuan?"


    These few hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples remaining could be said to all be the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s elite disciples. The majority of them were Crystal Formation Realm martial artists.


    These people all willingly stayed behind to share life and death together with the sect, for the sake of striving for time for that batch of elite disciples to escape.


    In truth, before this, they had the chance to flee helter-skelter. But they chose to stay behind to die without prior consultation!


    From this, it could be seen how great the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s cohesive strength was!


    It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan was unbelievably furious at those Purple Mansion Sect disciples who invaded and exterminated every last one of them.


    Seeing Ye Yuan raising a question, these disciples could not help exchanging glances.


    Actually, using one''s brain to think about it, standing fast and on defensive in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was a terrible plan. The Purple Mansion Sect practically already unified the Endless World''s Southern Domain. The Tranquil Cloud Sect was already a lone island.


    As long as the Purple Mansion Sect wanted, they could focus all of their firepowers to attack the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Relying on a sect protecting grand array at this time to withstand a bunch of Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, this was something that only a moron would do!


    Yet, the problem was that was Ye Yuan a moron? Or perhaps, Ye Yuan was deliberately making them jump into a fire pit?


    If Ye Yuan did it in order to send them to their deaths, why would he take such a superfluous action earlier and save them?


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I believe you!"


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, our lives were saved by you! You ask us to die, we absolutely won''t furrow our brows!"


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we''ll fight with you!"


    . . . . . .


    After a moment of silence, those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' supporting voices surged over like floodwaters!


    Ye Yuan already used strength and used action to thoroughly subjugate them!


    On the juncture that the Tranquil Cloud Sect was already to be annihilated, it was Ye Yuan who came forward and tried and turn back the tides. What right did they have to not trust Ye Yuan?


    Seeing this scene, everyone had a feeling of their hot blood boiling!


    In this instant, the Purple Mansion Sect which was powerful until it made people feel suffocated did not seem so scary anymore either!


    "Good! Since my fellow seniors and juniors all trust me, Ye Yuan, we''ll all fight a good one with the Purple Mansion Sect together! Let them see that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is not to be trifled with!" Ye Yuan yelled out loud and clear.


    "F*ck the Purple Mansion Sect! We want to make them pay blood for blood!"


    "Blood for blood!"


    "Blood for blood!"


    . . . . . .


    These people were not foreign to Ye Yuan. Ever since he entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he created once miracle after another.


    And today, who knew if he could create another miracle?


    Ye Yuan''s might already completely stirred up these peoples'' hot blood!


    These fellow apprentices did not lack the spirit of looking death calmly in the face. What they lacked was powerful confidence!


    And today, Ye Yuan gave them confidence!


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and pressed down, gesturing for everyone to quiet down.


    He called out in a clear voice, "From today onwards, our Tranquil Cloud Sect will activate the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, and we''ll completely seal the mountain! I''ll refine medicinal pills for everybody to raise everyone''s strength as quickly as possible! At that time, I''ll need to borrow every senior''s and junior''s strength. We''ll defend together the Southern Domain''s final lone island!"

 450 Restoring the Grand Array!

    The following few days, Ye Yuan sank into an extremely busy schedule.


    He first refined several transcendent-grade Essence Vigor Pills, and he finally replenished the lost blood essence fully.


    As one of the Eight Great Sects, although the Tranquil Cloud Sect had declined awfully, they still had a considerable reserve of Tier 3 spirit medicines. There were enough for Ye Yuan to refine.


    When Ye Yuan was refining pills, Xiao Ruyan acted as an assistant by the side. She took Ye Yuan''s entire pill refinement process fully into her eyes.


    Coming out from the pill refinement room, Xiao Ruyan''s entire person was in a state of stupor.


    Only when she observed Ye Yuan''s pill refinement in close distance did she finally know how formidable this Master she acknowledged.


    Ye Yuan was clearly refining Tier 3 medicinal pill, but Xiao Ruyan actually could not understand Ye Yuan''s refinement technique.


    Xiao Ruyan''s standards were not low. But it was precisely so that she had an even deeper understanding of how high Ye Yuan''s standards were.


    This could be said as unintentionally planting a willow tree, and the willow tree would become a shade. Xiao Ruyan suddenly felt that she was too fortunate. Not only could she be together with Ye Yuan, but she could also even raise her alchemy skills.


    Next, Ye Yuan made use of the Square Cauldron to refine a large batch of Tier 2 and Tier 3 medicinal pills and distributed them to the sect''s disciples.


    The result was that a few days later, columns of essence energy storms formed in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. There were disciples successfully breaking through everywhere.


    Many disciples were stuck in the state of Peak Spirit Condensation Realm. This batch of medicinal pills created a large batch of Crystal Formation Realm disciples.


    There were even a minority of Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm disciples who broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm without a hitch after consuming the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined!


    The strength of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples rose a level collectively!


    After the disciples noticed such a transformation, their admiration for Ye Yuan all reached a degree that could not be surpassed.


    For a moment, Ye Yuan''s prestige reached the pinnacle. His prestige among the disciples right now was most likely no longer inferior to Sect Master Luo Qingfeng.


    When the disciples there were all breaking through, Ye Yuan brought Mei Zhen to the center of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s array formation.


    "Ye Yuan, you say that you want to restart the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. Could it be that us, these remnant troops and defeated soldiers, can really rely on this grand array to resist those Soul Sea Realm powerhouses?" Mei Zhen still asked half believing, half doubtfully.


    The power of the array formation not only hinged on the rank of the array formation, it even relied on the level of the person controlling the array formation.


    Right now, the strongest among them was also Mei Zhen, this Sea Transformation Realm. Moreover, he was utterly ignorant about array formations and completely could not unleash the power of the grand array,


    Mei Zhen knew that Ye Yuan''s formation path attainments were exceedingly high. However, he was only Crystal Formation Realm, Even if he managed the array formation, could he withstand the wanton bombardment of Soul Sea Realms?


    This was not inside the mystic realm where Ye Yuan could play his opponent to death inside the array formation. Soul Sea Realm martial artists would definitely break the formation with force. When the time came, how should they withstand?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Of course I can''t sustain by myself. But don''t we still have so many seniors and juniors?"


    Mei Zhen said in surprise, "But these sect disciples all don''t know array formations!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Doesn''t matter if they don''t know. I just need to know."


    Mei Zhen was speechless. ". . . . . ."


    Up until now, Mei Zhen did not know what Ye Yuan wanted to do either.


    Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that Ye Yuan would not do reckless things and would not treat the lives of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples as a joke.


    "Fine then. Even if you have a way, the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array . . . seem to only be able to deal with Early-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists, right?" Mei Zhen said.


    "Haha. When I just entered the sect, I discovered that this array formation has many flaws, resulting in the power of the array formation to be greatly discounted. Fortunately, the Southern Domain still didn''t have any formidable adversaries at that time so the sect could protect itself," Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.


    Mei Zhen said with a frown, "You mean to say that . . . the power of this array formation far exceeds this?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right. The Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array is a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation; It is ample to withstand a Peak Soul Sea Realm''s full powered attack! What does a mere Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm even count as?"


    Mei Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "T-There''s actually such a thing? But the people in the sect thought that this is a Low-Rank Tier 4 array formation all along!"


    "If my conjectures are right, this array formation should have had some losses when the Tranquil Cloud Sect was forced to move southwards. Maybe the array formation was missing some necessary parts. Maybe even the array formation itself was lost, and the array master relied on his own comprehension to restore the array formation, but there were deficiencies within!" Ye Yuan said.


    In fact, Ye Yuan''s conjectures were already very close to the truth. Back then, when the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved southwards, large quantities of records all went missing to some extent.


    Even the two most important articles of the sect''s cultivation methods were lost, let alone an array formation.


    Back then, a Soul Sea Realm array master only comprehended this set of array formation to an 80% standard. He could only restore this set of array formation to this degree.


    The array master later attempted to complete the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But this set of array formation was rather profound. He did not restore it even till his own death.


    In a blink, a thousand years passed. The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people had long forgotten this segment of history and even thought that this set of array formation was a Low-Rank Tier 4 array formation.


    But the Southern Domain martial artists'' strength was not strong. This set of half-baked sect protecting grand array was also barely sufficient to use.


    However, a Late-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artist appeared in the Southern Domain now. This set of array formation was clearly inadequate already.


    "T-There was actually such a thing. I''m an elder and actually don''t know a whit as well," Mei Zhen said powerlessly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "With my present realm, I naturally can''t set up the Yin-yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But the sect protecting grand array is a complete grand array. If it''s just modifying a little and completing the array formation, I can still manage it. Unless the Fierce Gale World ''s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses can cross the passageway, nobody can break in!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s explanation, Mei Zhen was also brimming with confidence at this moment. But, he heaved a sigh and said, "For our Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to take in a disciple like you, it''s seriously the sect''s lucky stars!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Why does Elder Mei say that? Since I joined the sect, I''m naturally a part of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. When the sect is in trouble, I should offer a portion of strength. We just have to hold on to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, and the Purple Mansion Sect will be unable to set up the situation in the Southern Domain leisurely. As long as the Northern Domain reacts, the Purple Mansion Sect being destroyed is something inevitable! It''s just that we must hurry before the realm passageway completely links up and let the Northern Domain''s various sects know about the events that happened in the Southern Domain."


    Mei Zhen perceived the meaning in Ye Yuan''s word and said somberly, "Ye Yuan, don''t need to be so courteous with me. Whatever instructions you have, just say it."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Elder Mei knows the whole story about the matter. I''m thinking of letting you go to the Northern Domain to notify the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect, these three sects, and make them send people to aid the Southern Domain and eradicate the Purple Mansion Sect! This situation at present, only Elder Mei alone has the capabilities to take on this mission."


    Although he long had expectations, Mei Zhen''s expression still changed and he said, "Can''t another person be swapped to do this thing? I-I at least have some strength. Staying behind to offer up a portion of strength is good as well!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The onerousness of your mission is still above defending the sect! The Tranquil Cloud Sect is just a small plot of land, while what the Fierce Gale World wants to invade is the entire Endless World. If the Northern Domain is ill-informed about the news and doesn''t know the Fierce Gale World''s ambition, the outcome will be too dreadful to contemplate. Hence . . . you have to make this trip no matter what!"


    Mei Zhen''s expression flickered for a moment and said with Ye Yuan with clasped hands, "Mei Zhen definitely won''t fail the mission!"

 451 Power of the Sect Protecting Grand Array!

    On a wide plain, human figures moved about.


    Here was the Purple Mansion Sect''s forward position, specialized in being responsible for attacking the Tranquil Cloud Sect and two other sects.


    Ma Yi was the commander of this team of martial artists. He was a First Level Soul Sea Realm powerhouse and also the Purple Mansion Sect''s grand elder.


    At this time, the other two sects'' reports of success already came over. Only the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side had no news.


    Ma Yi''s brows were locked tightly at this time. Evidently, his mood was very bad.


    The other two sects'' strength was much stronger than the Tranquil Cloud Sect. They were all fine. Only the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side with the weakest strength seemed to have a problem.


    The Purple Mansion Sect sent out three commanders in order to exterminate the six great sects and unit the Southern Domain under the Purple Mansion Sect''s rule.


    The upper echelons of the six great sects were basically already under control. Attacking completely did not expend any effort.


    The three commanders all had a rivaling relationship and were also seizing every minute and second to strive to take down three sects first.


    But who knew that his side here just had to have a problem.


    "Du Yushan that moron wouldn''t really be unable to even take care of a Tranquil Cloud Sect, right?" Ma Yu gnashed his teeth hatefully.


    Right at this time, a disciple entered the tent and bowed to Ma Yi, and then he said, "Reporting to Grand Elder, news came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side. Elder Du''s party were completely annihilated. The Tranquil Cloud Sect re-activated the sect protecting grand array and sealed off the sect!"


    Ma Yi stood up at once. Grabbing that disciple''s collar, he said with a ferocious look. "What did you say? Du Yushan''s army was completely wiped out? Could it be that the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has Peak Sea Transformation or Soul Sea Realm experts?"


    Du Yushan was a Seventh Level Sea Transformation powerhouse. Unless the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Eighth Level Sea Transformation and above existences, how could they possibly have wiped out Du Yushan''s army completely?


    But that lousy place like the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not have many Sea Transformation Realm experts in total either. Now, they were basically all captured by the Purple Mansion Sect. How could the sect still have such a powerhouse existing inside?


    That disciple was taken aback with fright and spluttered, "D-Disciple isn''t clear either. Two days ago, Disciple brought the scout team and went to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to investigate the news. The result was that we discovered that Elder Du they . . . they were all decapitated and then being hung outside the sect gates! O-Over ten Sea Transformation Realm elders were all decapitated, and their corpses were displayed in public view!"


    Bang!


    A blast of force flew by that disciple''s ear, pulverizing a stone table behind him into pieces.


    "What. Did. You. Say?!" Ma Yi said word by word.


    That disciple nearly peed himself and said with a tremble, "G-Grand Elder calm your anger."


    "Calm your *ss anger! Tranquil Cloud Sect! Hehe, excellent! Excellent! Decapitating as a public warning. Their guts are really plenty fat!" Ma Yi suddenly looked at that disciple and asked, "What other news is there?"


    As he said, Ma Yi let go of that disciple''s collar and threw him out.


    That disciple hurriedly crawled up and said, "The Tranquil Cloud Sect even erected a stone plaque in front of the sect gates. Written on it . . . Trespassers, kill without amnesty!"


    "Heh heh, kill without amnesty? This Seat wants to see how you all kill with amnesty! Send the orders! The whole army is to decamp and set off for the Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Ma Yi said coldly.


    The disciple felt as if being relieved of immense pressure and scurried off.


    . . . . . .


    In front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s mountain gates, Ma Yi looked at Du Yushan''s and the others'' heads grimly, as well as that stone plaque written using brush-pen in red ink.


    "Come men. Go and retrieve their heads!" Ma Yi ordered.


    A small team dashed out very quickly, wanting to collect back Du Yushan''s head.


    Yet, when they had just crossed that stone plaque, several streaks of pale-yellow flowing light suddenly danced about.


    "Ahh!"


    "Argh!"


    . . . . . .


    Wretched screams echoed together.


    These streams of light were very formidable, willfully harvesting the lives of that small team of martial artists.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, the small team was completely wiped out.


    Ma Yi''s face was incomparably somber. He knew that this was the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array activated.


    With the power of the sect protecting grand array, killing these martial artists were too easy.


    But Ma Yi had a faint feeling that the power of this grand array seemed to be extraordinary!


    "Zhu Mingyu, you bring a few people to test out the power of that grand array. Remember, take care not to cross that stone plaque. Just feel out its power will do," Ma Yi reminded him.


    Zhu Mingyu was a general under him, a Peak Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse. Sending him to probe out the power of the grand array was perfect.


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Sea Transformation Realm experts there, at the very most, it could also just maintain the grand array at the standard of Peak Sea Transformation Realm. Zhu Mingyu adding in a few other Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were sufficient to shake the grand array.


    Zhu Mingyu obeyed the orders and marched out, bringing quite a few Sea Transformation Realm experts in front of the grand array.


    "Everybody, don''t hold back! All execute your strongest attack! We''ll join hands to crack this grand array!" Zhu Mingyu said.


    "Yes!"


    Everyone cried out in unison and started to muster heaven and earth essence energy in full force.


    In a moment, a terrifying aura creeped out in the air. The attack of a Peak Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was already extremely powerful, let alone multiple Late-Stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    The power of the combined attacks of these people was simply not what the average martial artist could withstand.


    "Everybody listen to my command! Focus the attacks on one point of the grand array! Go!" Zhu Mingyu hollered.


    Only to see that under his command, seven to eight immensely powerful attacks rumbled towards the grand array!


    The coordination of these people was clearly highly tacit. The place that they attacked was not the slightest bit off, and the timing was also grasped very well; practically arriving at the same time!


    Rumble!


    A huge sound!


    But the grand array did not budge an inch while Zhu Mingyu and the rest flew out backward!


    "Puhwark!"


    Several people vomited a mouthful of blood at the same time. They were actually wounded by the grand array''s backlash power!


    "This . . . How can this grand array be so strong? It actually didn''t budge an inch under the combined attacks of Elder Zhu they all!"


    "I heard that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s grand array is called the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. But this set of array formation is just a low-rank Tier 4 array formation. The Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn''t even have a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist right now. Why is the power of this sect protecting grand array so powerful?"


    "Could it be that it must need Grand Elder to personally take action to be able to crack this grand array?"


    Ma Yi''s expression was very ugly currently. Could it be that there was actually still a Soul Sea Realm expert hidden within the Tranquil Cloud Sect?


    If that was really the case, then it was going to be troublesome!


    But the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had Skymaple at the Soul Sea Realm all along. Luo Qingfeng just broke through not long ago. Apart from them, who else in the Tranquil Cloud Sect could be Soul Sea Realm?


    Ma Yi racked his brains and could not figure it out either.


    "Humph! Who cares what the hell you are. My Purple Mansion Sect''s grand momentum is already formed. Is it possible for a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect to still flip the heaven? I''ll give a try today, just what kind of power this lousy array formation has!"


    Ma Yi leaped high into the air and arrived before the grand array!


    Only to see him face his palm towards the sky, muttering verses from his mouth. Horrifying essence energy instantly converged around him!


    This was the formidable aspect of Soul Sea Realm martial artists. Maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy with the might of the divine soul cooperating with the essence energy sea was simply effortless!


    "Extreme Essence Heaven Axis Palm! Break for me!"


    Ma Yi mustered 80% essence energy in one breath. An extremely dreadful attack flew towards the grand array!

 452 Slaying Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist!

    "Grand Elder is so strong! If I were the one receiving this move, even a hundred, a thousand of me would all die too!"


    "Yeah. All are mortals below Soul Sea Realm. Grand Elder is on a completely different level from us!"


    "Luckily, there''s Grand Elder here. Otherwise, we would be completely helpless against this grand array. Now that Grand Elder personally took action, this grand array will break for sure!"


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect this bunch of trash actually became a retracted-head turtle! When we raid inside in a while, I''ll definitely pull their heads out from their turtle shell!"


    . . . . . .


    Ma Yi was well-deserving of being a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. This Extreme Essence Heaven Axis Palm move was exceedingly terrifying.


    Just that mighty power was enough to make other martial artists feel fear.


    A Soul Sea Realm martial artist''s attack could only be withstood by a Soul Sea Realm martial artist. This was general knowledge for martial artists.


    Zhao Chenggan, that kind of talented prodigy, crossed realms to battle as easily as drinking water. But to let him fight with a Soul Sea Realm martial artist, it was still certain death.


    Even the most ordinary Soul Sea Realm martial artist, their might was also not what Sea Transformation Realm martial artists could compare with.


    Compared to the fleshy body, the divine soul was evidently closer to heaven and earth and nature.


    Soul Sea Realm martial artists communicated with heaven and earth essence energy through the divine soul. The speed and quality mustered were far from comparable to Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    And it was precisely this sort of advantage combined together with even more powerful Tier 4 martial techniques, the power of Soul Sea Realm martial artists made practically all martial artists beneath Soul Sea Realm feel despair.


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples had blind faith in the Soul Sea Realm Ma Yi and thought that this attack could absolutely blast the grand array open.


    Soul Sea Realm in the hearts of the Southern Domain sect disciples was actually around the same as the position of the Wind Emperor in the hearts of the Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    Yet, the matter completely did not develop in the direction which the people hoped for in their hearts.


    Just as Ma Yi''s palm force was about to reach the grand array, the grand array erupted once more!


    All of a sudden, dozens of flowing light streams came out from the grand array, dashing for Ma Yi''s palm force.


    Ma Yi''s face carried a confident smile when he struck out the palm. But at this time, his expression changed drastically.


    Those dozens of flowing light streams eradicated his palm force like crushing dead leaves!


    But it was not over yet. After those flowing lights obliterated Ma Yi''s palm force, it actually came chasing after Ma Yi.


    Ma Yi did not think that such a change would actually occur and his expression changed dramatically!


    To be able to instantly obliterate his 80% essence energy attack, the might of this grand array was absolutely not what he could withstand!


    No time left to think. Under everyone''s eyes, Ma Yi turned around and ran.


    Yet, the speed of the flowing lights was exceptionally swift. Ma Yi just ran out not for long, and the flowing lights caught up to him.


    Boom!


    A huge sound rang out. Under the Purple Mansion Sect''s stupefied gazes, a silhouette dropped down from the air powerlessly.


    Slam!


    Ma Yi''s corpse slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    Everyone had blank faces, and there was actually no one who reached out to receive it!


    All the way until that mass of dust gradually dissipated did everyone finally woke up abruptly.


    "W-What happened?"


    "D-Don''t know! W-What''s with Grand Elder? Can''t have . . ."


    "Pooh! Grand Elder is a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. How can he be killed so easily by the grand array? H-He must have fainted!"


    At this time, Zhu Mingyu walked out from the crowd.


    He was blasted until severely wounded by the grand array''s backlash strength. At this time, he still held his chest, his steps somewhat wobbly.


    Zhu Mingyu''s face was solemn, his brows tightly knitted. It was also uncertain if it was due to injuries or because of Ma Yi.


    Zhu Mingyu came close, and his figure involuntarily came to a stop.


    "G-Grand Elder he . . . passed away!"


    Zhu Mingyu himself did not know how he said those words. He felt that his brain was a little lacking.


    Ma Yi already had no vital signs. He was clearly totally dead already.


    In front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates, it was deathly quiet. There were only the whimpering sounds of gusts of breeze.


    A Soul Sea Realm powerhouse of his generation was actually garrotted by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array!


    In the entire Southern Domain, how many years had it been since a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse die?


    Zhu Mingyu and the other Purple Mansion Sect disciples were unable to accept this outcome.


    But Ma Yi''s corpse repeatedly told them that this was a truth!


    . . . . . .


    In the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s grand array axis, all the disciples were covered from head to toe in sweat, appearing rather worn out. But the expression on their faces showed that they were very excited, It was as if they were injected with stimulants.


    Everyone''s faces were flushed red. Looking at that figure in front, their eyes revealed fervent idolizing looks.


    They all clearly wanted to speak, but they desperately suppressed their impulse, for fear that they would startle Ye Yuan who was currently directing the grand array.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan turned around slowly and said coolly, "The Purple Mansion Sect has already retreated. This battle, we''ve won!"


    "Woo!!"


    These Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples immediately erupted with thunderous laughter!


    Ever since Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng were detained, there had never been such cheering and laughter in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    This battle was too satisfactory to the heart''s content!


    "Long live Ye Yuan!"


    "Long live Ye Yuan!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan laughed too. He knew that these fellow sect members have been holding back for too long and very much needed a victory to release their emotions.


    Ye Yuan killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse with the aid of the grand array''s power. This was a victory with an extraordinary meaning!


    For a moment, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was seething!


    "This feeling is too great! What did we do? We actually slew a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!"


    "Hahaha! To be able to kill a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, this lifetime is also enough! In the future, even if it''s to die for the sect, I''ll also die without regrets!"


    "Hey! Did you know? That was a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse! Soul Sea Realm powerhouse! I actually killed a Soul Sea Realm! Hahaha!"


    "Haha! Next time, I''m going to tell my son that his old man once killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!"


    "So f*cking satisfying! I even thought that Ye Yuan activating the sect protecting grand array was just to huddle like a turtle and defend. Who knew that he would actually take the initiative to attack? A single attack and he killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!"


    These Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples all seemed to be in a state of madness, releasing their emotions to their heart''s content.


    These few days, Ye Yuan underwent a complete remake of the Yin-yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. Not only did he restore that missing portion of the grand array, he even connected several hundred miniature array formations at the grand array''s central.


    These hundreds of miniature array formations were presided by several hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. Ye Yuan could draw out these several hundred peoples'' essence energy through the array''s pivot, and provide a steady stream of support for the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.


    A Soul Sea Realm''s one move could instantly kill these several hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples. But the essence energy released by these disciples via the grand array could form a terrifying attack that could directly kill Soul Sea Realm martial artists!


    Even though this was the heroic feat accomplished by everyone making a concerted effort, the several hundred Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were deeply affected as if they experienced it personally!


    Slaying a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. This was something that they did not even dare to think about last time!


    Currently, the eyes that these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples looked at Ye Yuan with were filled with fanatical worship.


    This victory was brought to them by Ye Yuan!


    Without Ye Yuan, they might not even be able to ward off Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But with Ye Yuan, they killed a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!

 453 Inscribing ‘Sword’ Characters

    In a flash, two days passed. The residual heat from slaying a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse not only did not pass, but it also gradually firmly established itself within the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Receiving the stimulation from this incident, everyone cultivated frenziedly.


    In the past, many people would drift along. But now, not a single person slacked off!


    These two days, Ye Yuan did not idle either. Under the assistance of medicinal pills, his essence energy previously already reached peak Seventh Level Crystal Formation.


    Making use of these two days, Ye Yuan successfully broke through to the Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm!


    When Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Mo Yuntian was already standing guard outside the door.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Mo Yuntian''s eyebrows raised up. Heaving a sigh, he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, recalling back then when I received and welcomed you into the sect, you were only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation. But at present, you''ve already caught up to me. So much so that in terms of combat strength, you can already have a showdown with late-stage Sea Transformation Realms!"


    Although Mo Yuntian was a broad-minded person, seeing his little junior brother in the past surpass him in such a short time, he could not avoid being somewhat dejected still after being happy for Ye Yuan.


    Regarding such a situation, Ye Yuan knew that it was unavoidable as well.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo''s talent is not poor. Breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm in the future is already set in stone," Ye Yuan did not know how he should console either and could only say it as it was.


    Mo Yuntian gave a sigh and said, "The sect''s records are lost. Wanting to break through to Soul Sea Realm is easier said than done! Even Sect Master Luo was also stuck at peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation for many years, only barely managing to break through to Soul Sea after obtaining Grand Elder''s Soul Luring Pill. But at present, Grand Elder Skymaple has fallen behind bars . . ."


    Hearing Mo Yuntian''s words, Ye Yuan''s eyes flickered, and he said to Mo Yuntian, "Senior Apprentice Brother, come with me!"


    Mo Yuntian was somewhat bewildered, but still followed after.


    Before long, the two people arrived at Victory Peak.


    Ye Yuan sized up all around for a bit and arrived before a thousand-foot wide huge boulder.


    "Right here!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Mo Yuntian did not know what Ye Yuan had up his sleeves and could not resist asking, "Junior Brother, what are you trying to do?"


    "Hur hur, Senior Brother must watch well in a while!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    With a clink, Canghua Sword was drawn!


    Swish! Swash! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s longsword danced, sparks flying in all directions, and stone rubble falling profusely!


    After a moment, a ''sword'' character gradually took form!


    Mo Yuntian looked at that plain and unremarkable ''sword'' character but remained very baffled still.


    This sword did not seem to have many extraordinary aspects, right?


    Swapping Mo Yuntian to carve himself, he could similarly do it. It was at the very most the standards of Spirit Condensation Realm.


    Ye Yuan tiptoed and bounded up lightly. In an area ten feet above, he inscribed the next ''sword'' character once more!


    He did not pause, leaping up another ten foot, engraving another ''sword'' character again.


    Mo Yuntian still did not make out what remarkable aspects this character had. At most, it was slightly harder than before.


    Ye Yuan jumped higher and higher. The ''sword'' character on the huge boulder became increasingly more as well, while Mo Yuntian''s face gradually became solemn!


    By the time Ye Yuan carved the sixth ''sword'' character, Mo Yuntian finally knew what Ye Yuan wanted to do!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan wanted to use the method of inscribing characters to engrave his comprehension of the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art all onto this huge boulder?


    With a thought up to here, Mo Yuntian no longer dared to slight it, gluing his eyes on the sword in Ye Yuan''s hand!


    Although Mo Yuntian charged out of the Nine Heavens Road, his comprehension towards the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was not considered too profound. It was even inferior to Tian Yu''s to some extent.


    With such an opportunity to view and emulate, how could he possibly let it slip by?


    The ''sword'' character on the huge boulder became increasingly more, and also progressively more deep and profound. Mo Yuntian actually had a feeling of being unable to keep up!


    Ye Yuan was using the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to inscribe the characters. The concept within the characters, Mo Yuntian understood fully. But he suddenly discovered that in his understanding towards sword intent previously, many areas were actually wrong!


    By the time Ye Yuan carved the 21st ''sword'' character, Mo Yuntian''s head felt as if it had exploded, and he actually had a feeling of suddenly seeing it in a whole new light!


    Ye Yuan started engraving from Spirit Condensation Realm sword intent. By the time it reached the 21st word, it was already the Third Level Sea Transformation sword intent.


    And Mo Yuntian''s present sword intent comprehension was already stuck here for very long!


    When Ye Yuan''s 21st ''sword'' character''s final stroke was completed, Mo Yuntian actually felt his mind clear up, his chest incomparably free from inhibitions!


    The dense fog which was stuck there for a long time was like being dispelled and seeing the sun. It was as if suddenly seeing the light!


    At this time, Mo Yuntian''s eye did not even dare to blink, fearful of missing any one of Ye Yuan''s actions!


    But starting from the 22nd character, Mo Yuntian began to have a feeling of having difficulty comprehending. He gradually started to fall behind Ye Yuan''s rhythm.


    By the time Ye Yuan inscribed until the 24th character, Mo Yuntian already could not make head or tail of it.


    He only felt that each ''sword'' character had sword qi crisscrossing, giving people a very sharp feeling.


    By the time Ye Yuan carved the 28th character, Mo Yuntian suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood with a puff.


    This was a sword intent belonging to the Soul Sea Realm. It had already completely exceeded Mo Yuntian''s limits.


    Because Mo Yuntian had been moving up Ye Yuan''s sword intent the entire time, Soul Sea Realm''s sword intent was already fully not what he could endure.


    At this time, Mo Yuntian moved his eyes away quite reluctantly.


    He did not dare to look on. If he continued looking, he would be killed by Ye Yuan''s sword intent.


    Ye Yuan''s current realm was already about the same as his. If Ye Yuan really attacked him, he would not even need to draw his sword.


    This was the disparity between Ye Yuan and him!


    Even so, Mo Yuntian''s gains today was undoubtedly enormous!


    Clank!


    When the 45th ''sword'' character finished being inscribed, Ye Yuan floated down, landing in front of Mo Yuntian.


    Mo Yuntian took a look at Ye Yuan and could not resist sighing as he said, "To think that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s sword intent has actually reached such a terrifying extent already!"


    Towards Ye Yuan, Mo Yuntian felt admiration from the heart.


    He knew that he and Ye Yuan were people from entirely different worlds. Comparing simply did not hold meaning at all.


    Thinking this way, Mo Yuntian became open-minded instead.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I only have Eighth Level Crystal Formation strength at present. Sword intent after Crystal Formation Realm completely can''t reach a corresponding degree. But in the short run, it''s enough to let my fellow apprentices comprehend the concept."


    Actually, Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards sword intent was far from this. But with these ''sword'' characters, he only used the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to inscribe them.


    If Ye Yuan used the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Intent to inscribe, Mo Yuntian would most likely not be able to understand even at the Spirit Condensation Realm level.


    The concept of supreme true intents was simply not what Lower Realm martial artists could comprehend.


    Mo Yuntian''s gaze could not help looking towards those 45 ''sword'' characters again, only to see that each ''sword'' character was entirely different. It could be said to each have literary excellence.


    Mo Yuntian knew that this was caused by the concept contained in each character being different!


    Seemed like he was still a long way off on this road of comprehending true intent!


    "If my conjectures are correct, there are probably still two months before the realm passageway will link up together. During this period of time, you''ll let the seniors and juniors to come here to comprehend sword intent then," Ye Yuan said.

 454 Tier 4 Array Master Taking the Field!

    The Heavenly Sky Sect''s main hall already became the Purple Mansion Sect''s main hall now.


    Ever since the Southern Domain''s Sect Great Meet, the Purple Mansion Sect occupied another person''s land, treating here as their base camp.


    But at present, the atmosphere in the main hall was rather stifling.


    The death of Grand Elder Ma Yi caught everyone in the Purple Mansion Sect by surprise, including Sect Master He Mingde.


    He Mingde had the appearance of a middle-aged man. Each and every action had the air of a grandmaster.


    But he had a sinister and ruthless air at his glabella, which ruined his temperament.


    The Southern Domain today, everyone knew that He Mingde was somebody who was highly adept at enduring hardship and ridicule. Being in the position of sect master for so many years, he only showed others the visage of First Level Soul Sea Realm.


    All the way until that so-called Southern Domain Sect Great Meet, did he astound the world with a single brilliant feat, suppressing all the sect masters and grand elders.


    Today''s Southern Domain could be said to be his world alone.


    It was just that this present Southern Domain''s number one encountered a significant problem.


    At present, the remaining six great sects, there was already five great sects thoroughly devastated. Only the weakest Tranquil Cloud Sect dealt a head-on blow to the Purple Mansion Sect instead!


    "The matter of the Tranquil Cloud Sect killing Ma Yi using the sect protecting grand array, what views do all of you have?" He Mingde said calmly, unable to perceive his emotions currently.


    "If I had to say, Ma Yi was definitely careless. That''s why he was ambushed successfully by those Tranquil Cloud Sect trash! The sect protecting grand array easily exterminating a Soul Sea Realm martial artist. If this spreads, wouldn''t it become a joke?" said a Soul Sea Realm grand elder.


    "Yeah. The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array is a low-rank Tier 4 array formation. To say that Ma Yi could not breach it, I believe that. But to say that he was dispatched easily by the grand array, I won''t believe it even if I''m beaten to death! In-between this, something that we don''t know about must have happened!"


    "Sect Master, let me bring people there. We''ll crack that formation in no time and exterminate all of those little thieves!"


    A dozen over Soul Sea Realm elders all tried to get a word in. Most did not believe that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s grand array could easily kill Ma Yi.


    The prowess of Soul Sea Realm was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone was also well aware of the Eight Great Sect''s ins and outs.


    The eight sect''s sect protecting grand array could only defend the attacks of middle-stage Soul Sea at the most. But how could it be that easy to want to kill Ma Yi?


    Let alone that the Tranquil Cloud Sect did not even have Soul Sea Realm martial artists holding down the fort right now.


    But He Mingde was vexed hearing this and said with a wave of his hand, "All shut up for me! What impossible to kill? Could it be that Ma Yi''s corpse is molded out of clay by the disciples? Can you all use your brains to think properly? His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is about to open up the realm passageway soon to launch the holy war. If we can''t rule the Southern Domain, as the land of foundation for His Majesty to personally descend upon the Endless World, all of us are going to be in serious trouble!"


    Hearing these words, everyone immediately shut their mouths sensibly.


    The wind emperor laying blame was not some laughable matter.


    At this time, a blue-robed old man suddenly stood up and said with He Mingde with clasped hands, "I wonder if Sect Master has questioned Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng before whether or not the Tranquil Cloud Sect still has a third Soul Sea Realm expert?"


    He Mingde said, "That''s of course! I specially told this news to the two of them. After they heard it, they looked stunned too. It was absolutely not feigned. Very clearly, they were also very surprised by this incident happening! Then I''m puzzled. Who in the world is controlling the array formation? To actually have such might?"


    The blue-robed elder said with a frown, "Since the Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn''t have a third Soul Sea Realm martial artist, then could it be that . . . the Northern Domain''s Three Sects already discovered our true identities?"


    He Mingde shook his head and said, "Impossible! For the sake of this day, I''ve already made perfectly sound preparations! Long before taking action, I already sent people to the Myriad Sword Sect to bow our heads in submission and acquiesce, and also promised huge benefits. They won''t intervene in the Southern Domain''s affairs!"


    "Then . . . could it be that it was a wandering formation path expert who just happened to pass by the Tranquil Cloud Sect?" said the blue-robed elder with a frown.


    He Mingde let out a sigh and said, "Right now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect huddled up and refuses to come out. We completely can''t get any news! But no matter what, we also can''t let those stragglers and remnant troops from the Tranquil Cloud Sect to gain a firm foothold! Elder He Jun, the matter of cracking the formation is entrusted to you!"


    The blue-robed elder bowed and said, "To render service to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, He Jun will naturally do all I can! It is just a Tier 4 grand array. This old man will make them exist in name only!"


    He Mingde nodded his head and said with a faint smile, "With Elder He Jun''s strength, this He can still count on it! You''re a middle-rank Tier 4 Array Master. If even you are helpless, then nobody in the Southern Domain can crack this formation. However . . . for the sake of being conservative, let Liao Wenguang go together with you. You guys can also look after each other! Remember, as long as the grand array is broken, kill every person regardless!"


    Right then, another Soul Sea Realm elder stood up and said, "As you command!"


    This Soul Sea Realm elder was shockingly a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist!


    A middle-rank Tier 4 array master coupled with a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist, this line-up could be rated as luxurious to the Southern Domain.


    . . . . . .


    At Towering Peak, Heavenly Sky Sect.


    This was the place that imprisoned the various sect''s sect masters and grand elders.


    These people''s essence energy seas all had restrictions imposed and completely could not muster up essence energy. Right now, they were no different from a cripple.


    Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng were locked up together. The Purple Mansion Sect was not worried that they would do anything funny either.


    "Martial Uncle, who do you think . . . came to our Tranquil Cloud Sect?" Luo Qingfeng asked with a frown.


    "The sect''s upper echelons were practically caught in one fell swoop. I really can''t think of who has such capabilities in the sect still. To actually be able to obstruct the Purple Mansion Sect''s cavalry!" Skymaple was evidently unsure either.


    Luo Qingfeng said, "Although He Mingde only came to probe us and didn''t say what happened. From his expression, it can still be made out that something major must have occurred!"


    He Mingde only asked if the Tranquil Cloud Sect still had Soul Sea Realm experts existing and did not tell the two of them about Ma Yi''s death.


    But what kind of person was Luo Qingfeng?


    He already knew many things from examining the speech and behavior!


    Skymaple shook his head and said, "Even if something big happened, with He Mingde this Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm here, what use is there? My Tranquil Cloud Sect''s destruction is just something inevitable."


    Luo Qingfeng suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice as he said rather excitedly, "Martial Uncle, do you think that it''s . . . Ye Yuan returning?"


    Skymaple was also startled in his heart. He immediately shook his head and said, "If he wanted to come back, he would have returned long ago! Didn''t you hear during the Sect Great Meet? Not a single person who went to the mystic realm came back! Several months already passed by. The hope of Ye Yuan returning alive is too slim! Moreover, even if Ye Yuan really came back, he also can''t possibly be the Purple Mansion Sect''s match. He Mingde is a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse."


    Hearing Skymaple analyze like this, Luo Qingfeng was also very downcast.


    The two people exchanged a glance, and both revealed bitter remorse.


    As long as they were given a few years'' time, Ye Yuan would surely be able to grow up.


    But now . . . everything became empty!


    "Sigh . . . To think that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s thousand-year foundation was actually ruined in our hands! What face do we have to go and meet our forefathers?!" Skymaple said with an emotional sigh.

 455 Tranquil Cloud Sect Has a Soul!

    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye! A disaster is imminent!"


    A Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple ran into the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s main hall, looking very nervous.


    "It''s Junior Apprentice Brother Zhao Xin huh. Is there any news from outside?" Ye Yuan enquired.


    Zhao Xin said hurriedly, "The Purple Mansion Sect sent out several thousand martial artists and are marching for the Tranquil Cloud Sect in mighty contingents!"


    "Haha. Don''t Junior Apprentice Brother Zhao Xin have faith in the might of the grand array? Forget about thousands of martial artists. Even if tens of thousands of martial artists came, they would not return either!"


    "But . . . But this time, the commanders are a Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm, Grand Elder Liao Wenguang, and a Tier 4 Array Master, He Jun! I fear . . ."


    When Zhao Xin got hold of this news, he was terrified until his legs turned soft.


    Tier 4 array masters were very terrifying existences. They were the bane of a sect''s protective grand arrays!


    Even if they could not crack the formation, they could also find the grand array''s weak links, and they could even diminish the grand array''s power.


    Coupled with the brute force of a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, breaking the formation did not seem to be something so difficult.


    This way, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be in danger!


    No matter how powerful the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array was, it was also just a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. It did not transcend the category of Tier 4 array formations.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples never would have thought that the Purple Mansion Sect actually still had the existence of Tier 4 array masters.


    This Purple Mansion Sect truly concealed too deeply!


    Before this, while the Purple Mansion Sect was known as the Southern Domain''s number two great sect, they actually only had five or six Soul Sea Realm experts too. The strongest was just Third Level Soul Sea.


    This time, the Purple Mansion Sect displayed all of their might.


    Compared to the Purple Mansion Sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect was simply weak to the max!


    Not only were they completely surpassed by the Purple Mansion Sect in the number of martial artists, but in terms of quality, they were a great deal weaker too.


    And now, the Purple Mansion Sect even sent out a Tier 4 Array Master. This was truly hopeless until it made people go nuts.


    Tier 4 Array Masters were the same as Alchemy King experts. They were all exceedingly rare existences in the Southern Domain.


    Before this, only the Heavenly Sky Sect had a Tier 4 Array Master. The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples had never heard before that the Purple Mansion Sect had a Tier 4 Array Master!


    A few days back, Zhao Xin and the rest were sent out by Ye Yuan to fish for information. Who knew that they would get hold of such a heavyweight news all at once.


    The first thing that Zhao Xin did when he got the information was to return to the sect without stopping to report this matter to Ye Yuan.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not even furrow his eyebrows. He just said nonchalantly, "When soldiers arrive, send a general to block. When water floods, use dirt to keep it out. Junior Apprentice Brother don''t need to worry. A puny little Tier 4 Array Master still can''t stir up too big of a wave."


    Zhao Xin was stunned and immediately said excitedly, "A Tier 4 Array Master isn''t Senior Apprentice Brother''s match either? That''s fantastic! Senior Apprentice Brother, no matter what you do, we all support you fully!"


    After slaying Ma Yi, Ye Yuan was already an existence akin to a divinity in the eyes of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.


    As long as Ye Yuan did not fear, what did they have to fear as well?


    Furthermore, killing Ma Yi greatly boosted the confidence of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples too.


    In their hearts, Soul Sea Realm was no longer an undefeatable existence anymore. Wasn''t someone as powerful as Ma Yi finished off by Ye Yuan in one move too?


    Although a Tier 4 array master was scary, seeing that composed look on Ye Yuan''s face, Zhao Xix was instantly filled with confidence.


    So what if Tier 4 array master?


    With Senior Apprentice Brother Ye here, our Tranquil Cloud Sect could absolutely stand firm and not fall!


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Haha, it has been tiring for Junior Apprentice Brother. Go back and have a rest first. As long as us fellow apprentices unite and are of one mind, even if He Mingde personally came, what can he do to me?"


    After Zhao Xin left, Ye Yuan moved to Victory Peak.


    This place was originally the place where the sect grand competition took place. Currently, it had become a cultivation holy land.


    In the entire plaza, there were roughly around 200 over Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples currently.


    Among the remainder disciples, those who cultivated the sword were basically all here.


    These disciples, some were currently meditating to comprehend sword intent, some were currently practicing the sword, some were currently breaking down moves, so on and so forth.


    Ye Yuan briefly swept a glance around, but his gaze landed on Tian Yu.


    Tian Yu was currently meditating with his eyes shut. Although the outside world was very noisy, he seemed to be residing in a different world.


    Five days had already gone by since Ye Yuan inscribed the ''sword'' characters.


    In these five days, Ye Yuan would come here to observe the fellow apprentices'' situation every day.


    And in these five days, the one who improved the fastest was not Mo Yuntian, but it was Tian Yu!


    Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive to sword intent. Any hint of change to the seniors and juniors, he would take it all into sight.


    On the first day, Tian Yu stood in front of the huge boulder and did not move a muscle, looking at it for an entire day!


    On the second day, Tian Yu did not go and look at those ''sword'' characters anymore. He just meditated there the entire time.


    In four days, the sword intent on Tian Yu''s body condensed and did not dissipate, drawing the bow without discharging the arrow. It actually had the inclination of soaring to the skies.


    The fellow apprentices were all comprehending the ''sword'' characters on the huge boulders. But nobody approached within a hundred feet of Tian Yu''s surroundings.


    Mo Yuntian appeared beside Ye Yuan since God knew when, and likewise sized up Tian Yu in the distance.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s talent is exceedingly high. He just comprehended for a day''s time in front of the words you inscribed and actually had such a huge improvement," Mo Yuntian said with a gasp of admiration.


    Mo Yuntian was also a peerlessly talented individual. But compared to Tian Yu, he was still much worse off.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is indeed shockingly talented. But, for him to be able to have such a huge improvement, it was also due lucky chances."


    "Oh? What do you mean?"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu grew up with many admirers surrounding him like stars surrounding the moon and has never suffered huge setbacks. This mystic realm journey, he was captured to become a slave by Fierce Gale World martial artists. This to him was undoubtedly unprecedented shame. After returning, Grand Elder Skymaple was detained by the Purple Mansion Sect, which stimulated his staunch personality even more. Before this, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu had already comprehended the elementary form of true intent. Furthermore, his elementary form of true intent was born from the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. That''s why the words that I inscribed can have such great inspiration to him. Of course, there is still one point. My primary cultivation method is a fire-attribute cultivation method too. There is a trace of Concept of Fire contained inside the sword intent as well. Him reaping the greatest harvest is also something within reason," Ye Yuan explained.


    When Mo Yuntian heard these words, he immediately saw the light.


    "Sigh. To the present Tranquil Cloud Sect, what it lacks most of all is time! If Tian Yu and Wujiu this batch can grow up, our Tranquil Cloud Sect can rise up once again!" Mo Yuntian said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Passing down the flame. Tranquil Cloud Sect has a soul. It won''t be extinguished!"


    Ever since Ye Yuan entered the sect, while he had some unpleasantness with the Ouyang Family, he could sense the spirit that the Tranquil Cloud Sect passed down. The sect''s upper echelons were all people who carried ambition.


    From the State of Qin''s Nine Heavens Road''s Lu Yan, to Skymaple, to Luo Qingfeng, and Xiao Jian, they all had the spirit of lineal descent on them, which was the anticipation of the sect rising sharply anew!


    For the sake of this goal, they could sacrifice themselves without any hesitation at all!


    And this soul, unfolded likewise on the bodies of these disciples before his eyes most vividly.


    Facing the besiegement of the Purple Mansion Sect, they chose to sacrifice their lives for a just cause.


    With such a soul, Ye Yuan believed that the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not be destroyed.


    At this time, Tian Yu who had been sitting quietly for four days got up once more and came before the huge boulder again to contemplate on the inscribed words on the huge boulder.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan gave a gentle smile and said, "Looks like the sect has hopes for a revival."

 456 Cheerily Confiden

    "En? What''s the meaning of junior apprentice brother''s words?" Mo Yuntian asked in confusion.


    "You guess, which ''sword'' character is he contemplating on?"


    Mo Yuntian was stupefied briefly and looked at Tian Yu again, involuntarily shaking his head.


    Tian Yu''s head was facing very high upwards. But as for which ''sword'' character he was looking at in particular, Mo Yuntian could not guess it.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If my conjectures are correct, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is most likely already comprehending the 37th word."


    "What?! 37th word. Doesn''t that mean . . ." Mo Yuntian said in shock.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with certainty, "That''s right. He''s already comprehending the final nine words. As long as he can comprehend fully, his own true intent should be just about able to take form!"


    The words that Ye Yuan inscribed on the huge boulder, each one was a minor realm. Every nine was a major realm, advancing level by level gradually.


    Tian Yu was already comprehending the 37th word, meaning that he had already reached the final phase!


    Wasn''t such an improvement speed a little too fast?


    "If Junior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu can really fully comprehend his own true intent, then it will truly be the Heavens not forsaking our Tranquil Cloud Sect! So long as we cross this tribulation, we''ll surely soar to the skies at once!" Mo Yuntian was not dejected, but appeared very happy instead.


    "Actually, the ones who comprehended the elementary form of true intent in our Tranquil Cloud Sect isn''t just Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu alone. It''s just I wonder if they are doing okay now?" Ye Yuan suddenly lamented.


    "What? There''s still somebody who comprehended the elementary form of true intent? Who is it?" Mo Yuntian was truly shocked.


    "It''s precisely the Long Tang who entered the sect together with me. In the sect grand competition previously, he already comprehended the elementary form of true intent." Ye Yuan said.


    "Hiss . . . it''s actually him!" Mo Yuntian looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost.


    Mo Yuntian noticed one thing. People who were close to Ye Yuan all seemed to have obtained enormous benefits.


    Tian Yu was so, Long Tang was so, Nanfeng Ruoqing was so. Even he himself was similarly like so.


    Mo Yuntian did not know that even Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng''s breakthroughs had close ties to Ye Yuan.


    "Yes. Presumably, the sect has already discovered his talent. That''s why they would arrange for him to withdraw to the Northern Domain to preserve their strength." Ye Yuan said.


    Among these many seniors and juniors, to say who Ye Yuan was most worried about, it was naturally the Nanfeng aunt and niece, and Long Tang.


    But, he enquired about. Among the secret team headed for the Northern Domain this time, there was the three of them. This also put Ye Yuan''s mind at ease considerably.


    "If it''s like this, the Tranquil Cloud Sect can be said to have added a double insurance! Even if I have to risk this life, I, Mo Yuntian, will also have to ensure their safety!" Mo Yuntian said firmly.


    Mo Yuntian knew that the sect''s strongest genius was actually not Tian Yu, nor was it Long Tang, but this person before him.


    It was just that him being together with Ye Yuan, not only could he not be of any assistance, he would instead become a burden.


    Right now, it was Ye Yuan protecting the Tranquil Cloud Sect with his own strength, and not him, Mo Yuntian.


    Without Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would practically be utterly annihilated at this time, whence the resurgence?


    The small and weak Ye Yuan back then already grew into a towering tree current, sheltering the sect from the wind and rain!


    . . . . . .


    After several days, a shout akin to rolling thunder echoed throughout the entire sect.


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect''s trash listen up. Give you all two days to come out and surrender! Otherwise, when the formation is broken, nothing will be left intact!"


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were already in position long ago in the grand array''s center. They could clearly sense two extremely powerful auras outside the grand array.


    Very clearly, these two people were the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, Liao Wenguang and He Jun.


    Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples showed a nervous expression on their faces. Even though they were confident enough in Ye Yuan, facing Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, they still not could avoid feeling fear.


    Soul Sea Realm martial artist. Each minor realm had a tremendous difference.


    The strength of Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm was completely not what that Ma Yi could compare to.


    "Want to come, then come! So much crap! If you have the capabilities, break this grand array before talking!" Ye Yuan''s voice also transmitted out through the grand array.


    Liao Wenguang''s brows furrowed and said, "Humph! I want to see if this grand array of yours is really as powerful as rumored!"


    With Ma Yi''s failure serving as a warning, Liao Wenguang did not dare to be negligent. He directly took out his weapon --- a blood-colored long saber.


    "There''s a show to watch now. Grand Elder Liao''s Blood Drinking Saber is a 128 restrictions spirit artifact. Couple with his Tier 4 martial technique, Blood Drinking Soul Severing Blade, it can be said to be unstoppable!"


    "Yeah. I heard that when Grand Elder Liao was still at the Sea Transformation Realm, he once relied on this saber to cut down five experts of the same realm! Now that so many years have passed, this martial technique of his has probably attained perfection, right?"


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect this pack of morons. To actually dare kill Grand Elder Ma. Truly causing their own ruin! Provoking Grand Elder Liao to come out is the dumbest thing that they have done!"


    Liao Wenguang had already not come out of retirement for many years. These few years, he had been very low-profile as well, only appearing before people with First Level Soul Sea Realm cultivation.


    But now, he suddenly erupted with Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm strength. Nobody dared to disparage him.


    In all honesty, nobody dared to look down on Soul Sea Realm martial artists either.


    Liao Wenguang stood in the air, standing firm far away. The saber momentum rose, and at the same time, a crimson essence energy storm howled in front of Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates instantaneously!


    Boundless killing intent undulated out. That level of power gave people a feeling like the mountains were crumbling and the ground splitting; incomparably indomitable!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples in the center of the formation distinctly sensed this pressure!


    Compared to Ma Yi, this attack was more than a level stronger!


    Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple had cold sweat coming out of their palms in anxiety, uncertain if Ye Yuan could withstand this attack.


    "Blood Drinking Soul Severing Blade!"


    Liao Wenguang gave a low cry. Saber light towered to the skies, its momentum akin to rolling thunder, instantly slamming onto the grand array.


    Only to hear a rumble, as if the entire Spirit Blessing Mountain trembled a little.


    Everyone clearly sensed that an essence energy breach appeared on the grand array, but automatically recovered very soon.


    Seeing this scene, Liao Wenguang was not alarmed, but became excited instead. Saying with a cold laugh, "I was wondering how powerful this grand array was. Turns out that it''s merely on par with Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm! Another few more times and this grand array would most likely be collapsing, right?"


    "Grand Elder Liao is almighty!"


    "Grand Elder Liao is almighty!"


    . . . . . .


    When the Purple Mansion Sect disciples saw this scene, they were all highly excited.


    Many among them followed Ma Yi over here the previous time, including that Zhu Mingyu.


    On that day, they could be said to have experienced the most painful defeat in the history of the Purple Mansion Sect, and felt like the entire world was falling apart.


    A Soul Sea Realm martial artist was slain in front of the formation. This impact force was too intense.


    And today, they had a feeling of walking about with their chins held high, and finally felt like they regained a set.


    Hence, each and every one of them was like on stimulants, praising Liao Wenguang.


    Liao Wenguang also felt very comfortable regarding this stuff. The feeling of being worshiped by everyone was very wonderful.


    "Heh heh, I''m going to go one more time to see how many of my attacks this grand array of yours can withstand! You all prepare well for me. After I blast this grand array open, you all charge inside in one breath and leave nothing behind!" Liao Wenguang said with a loud laugh.

 457 Wretched Pligh

    Rumble!


    Another huge tremor.


    After a moment, the grand array recovered to normal once more.


    Liao Wenguang was very excited. He seemed to have seen the moment the grand array shattered.


    While by the side, He Jun was not as optimistic as Liao Wenguang.


    He stared at the grand array with heated eyes. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    He brandished the Blood Drinking Saber and was just about to attack again when he heard He Jun said, "Forget it, Old Liao. You can''t break this grand array."


    Liao Wenguang''s expression changed and he said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Old He, you aren''t afraid that I''d snatch credit from you, right?"


    He Jun shot him an indifferent glance and said, "Since you''re talking like this, just take it like I didn''t say anything. Go ahead and carry on trying."


    Liao Wenguang''s expression was not very good, and was somewhat caught in a dilemma for a moment.


    To talk about martial strength, he obviously flung He Jun several streets behind. But, to talk about understanding towards array formations, He Jun threw him more than ten streets behind.


    Looking at the realm passageway on the verge of opening up, these Purple Mansion Sect Soul Sea Realm experts all wished to render contributions in front of the wind emperor.


    If Liao Wenguang could crack the formation independently, the merit this time would be his alone. He was obviously not willing to give this credit to He Jun.


    But, he knew He Jun''s formations path attainments. If he was not exaggerating just to alarm people, then wouldn''t he be wasting his energy?


    Ruminating briefly for a moment, Liao Wenguang said with a cold snort, "Humph! Try it out then!"


    Liao Wenguang felt that his attack just now already caused considerable damage to the grand array. Redouble his effort and he could definitely crack this formation.


    He Jun smiled coldly at the corners of his mouth, but did not stop Liao Wenguang too much.


    There was not much nonsense. Liao Wenguang sent out another blade. This time, he even increased his strength a little.


    Another intense tremor. The grand array seemed to be tottering on the verge of collapse already.


    Liao Wenguang shot He Jun a glare like putting on a show of force and increased his strength even more again.


    Liao Wenguang was highly excited, chopping out blade after blade.


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples only heard the rumbling sounds lingering incessantly in their ears, as if the entire Spirit Blessing Mountain was crumbling.


    Yet, in a twinkle, Liao Wenguang slashed out over a dozen blades. The commotion caused was greater each time, and the grand array also quaked more intensely each time. But it just was not breached.


    Liao Wenguang was panting from exhaustion and finally became aware that something was not right.


    Unleashing over a dozen blades consecutively. Moreover, each blade was more powerful than the last, as if every blade reached the limits that the grand array could withstand.


    That was also to say that this sect protecting grand array''s limits was rising along with his attacks!


    Motherf*cker! Wasn''t this messing with Your Father?!


    Liao Wenguang gnashed his teeth hatefully, his gaze involuntarily glancing over at He Jun. But he discovered that He Jun was looking at him composedly, seemingly watching a good show.


    "To hell with it! A person has to have a backbone! I want to see just where this grand array''s limits lie!"


    Liao Wenguang was fairly stimulated by He Jun''s expression and his stubborn temper flared up all at once.


    In front of thousands of Purple Mansion Sect disciples, if Liao Wenguang yielded at this time, where would he put his face in the sect hereafter?


    Liao Wenguang at this time had already ridden on a tiger and found it hard to dismount. He could only toughen his scalp and continue attacking wildly.


    He could not care about saving whatever trump cards at this time too. Flinging caution to the wind, he used his strongest attacks all together.


    Yet, it did not have any freaking use.


    Apart from huge tremors, the grand array still did not have any signs of the slightest trace of damage.


    Liao Wenguang was already dog-tired until he was about to collapse. Such powerful attacks, even if he was a Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he was also unable to sustain for too long.


    "This . . . what the hell is this grand array? Why is it so strong?"


    "Earlier when I saw Elder Liao''s attacks, I even thought that this grand array nothing more than this. But, Elder Liao slashed out dozens of blades and it actually still did not crack the formation!"


    "Wasn''t it said that the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array was only a Low-Rank Tier 4 grand array? How can it possibly withstand Elder Liao''s attacks?"


    "You guys, look. Elder Liao is already tired until like this. To be able to exhaust a Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse to this extent, this grand array is really . . ."


    "Up until now, it was all Elder Liao attacking. I was present on that day. This grand array clearly has people controlling and can even taking the initiative to attack, releasing an extremely terrifying light stream which instantly killed Elder Ma!"


    Over on the Purple Mansion Sect''s side, discussions were running rampant. Especially those martial artists who experienced Ma Yi''s death. Currently, their dread towards the grand array was at the peak.


    Up until this moment, this sect protecting grand array had been taking on a defensive stance. That extraordinarily powerful light stream had yet to appear until now!


    What if . . .


    Truly whatever one feared would come. After sustaining one of Liao Wenguang''s attack, several streams of flowing light creeped out, chasing after Liao Wenguang!


    Liao Wenguang was practically at the extent of a nearly spent force already. The timing that these few streams of flowing light appeared was grasped very well too. It was precisely when Liao Wenguang''s old force was spent and new strength had yet to be produced!


    Liao Wenguang''s face changed drastically and hastily wanted to evade. But, his essence energy was depleted right now. How could he still have the strength to run?


    The speed of the light streams was much faster than him. It caught up to his figure instantaneously.


    "Bang!"


    A huge air blast pushed Liao Wenguang far out, slamming heavily onto the ground.


    Liao Wenguang rolled a long way out on the ground and struggled to crawl to his feet. Eating a mouthful of dust and in a very wretched state.


    The grand array restored its tranquillity once more, as if nothing happened earlier.


    But, Lian Wenguang had lingering fear. That life and death juncture just now, if not for He Jun taking action to disperse those few streams of flowing light, he would most likely be following in Ma Yi''s footsteps right now.


    "He Jun! You know that this grand array is formidable, why didn''t you make a move earlier?!" Liao Wenguang came in before He Jun and said crossly.


    Liao Wenguang could not remember how long had it been since he was so miserable anymore. Today''s encounter made him depressed to the max and he very much needed to find a channel to vent.


    But He Jun said calmly, "I warned you long ago. It was you who didn''t listen to my advice and had to forcefully crack the formation! I made a move to save you earlier, it was fine if you didn''t thank me, but you actually have the face to turn around and question me?"


    "You!" Liao Wenguang actually had no words to retort with.


    "This grand array is incredibly abstruse. It''s completely not a Low-Rank Tier 4 grand array. It''s very different from the news that we understood before!" He Jun said in a grave voice.


    Liao Wenguang''s expression changed and he said, "What? Not Low-Rank Tier 4? Then, what grade?"


    He Jun said, "If my conjectures are right, this grand array is at least High-Rank Tier 4 level! Even if Sect Master came personally, he might not be able to forcefully crack the formation!"


    Liao Wenguang''s shock this time was extraordinary. He actually forgot the embarrassment earlier for a moment and said in astonishment, "Even Sect Master can''t crack this grand array? Are you kidding?! My attacks earlier clearly almost breached it already. It was just slightly lacking some firepower."


    He Jun had a disdainful face as he said with a cold smile, "Drop it, you! Your attacks just now only scratched their itch for them! The person controlling the grand array had the grand array controlled at Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm level just for the sake of saving essence energy. That''s why your attacks can have that sort of effect. If not out of trepidation that the two of us were here, you would long be a dead body right now!"

 458 Who Is I

    "S-Such a shame! At the last moment, it actually fell a step short of success!" In the formation''s center, Tian Yu said with a look of pity.


    Tian Yu hated the Purple Mansion Sect people to the bone. If not for his strength being lacking, he would have long slaughtered up to the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Now, seeing that Liao Wenguang was actually rescued by people, he immediately lamented endlessly.


    "Sigh! Just a bit more and we could have killed that Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm expert! Just a little bit more!" A disciple hammered his chest and stomped his feet.


    The group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples all nodded their heads secretly. Evidently, they completely felt the same way.


    Previously, they were all still very nervous, fearful that the grand array would not be able to sustain, and wished that they could transfer all the essence energy in their bodies to Ye Yuan.


    But, after suffering several attacks, they discovered that the ever-triumphant Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse in their impression did not seem to be that scary either.


    Although the tremors that the grand array sustained was much greater than the previous time, the essence energy that Ye Yuan extracted from their bodies reduced a great deal instead.


    This aspect was because that their collective strength rose a huge step. The other aspect was because Ye Yuan intentionally preserved strength.


    But Ye Yuan turned around and said with a smile, "Haha. Don''t be anxious. The good show is just starting!"


    Tian Yu''s eyebrows shot up and he said rather excitedly, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, could it be that . . . you intended that earlier?"


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Kill one and the other''s alertness will become high. That array master would surely be very wary. Making him jump into the pit wouldn''t be too easy then. That''s a Tier 4 Array Master after all. He more or less still has some capabilities."


    "Haha! Like I said! Brilliant, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye! Truly brilliant!" Tian Yu was thrilled and unwittingly raised a big thumbs up to Ye Yuan.


    "Hahaha!"


    Seeing Tian Yu''s silly look, the disciple also could not help bursting into laughter. The jumpiness previously immediately vanished without a trace.


    . . . . . .


    Outside the sect''s gates, Liao Wenguang''s hair was standing on its end from shock. Only now did he know that he had already toured one round around the gates of hell and back.


    Recalling that scene earlier, Liao Wenguang had a bout of lingering fear and felt a swish of cold wind at the back too.


    Liao Wenguang swallowed his saliva and felt rather parched. "Old He, do as you say. I''ll listen to you!"


    This time, Liao Wenguang did not dare to show off his abilities and started to consult He Jun.


    He Jun was a Tier 4 Array Master after all. Liao Wenguang himself could not crack the formation. Evidently, there was only relying on He Jun.


    He Jun said with a smile, "Tier 4 and above grand arrays, even if it were me, cracking it is somewhat challenging too."


    Liao Wenguang saw that He Jun was deliberately keeping him in suspense and gnashed his teeth hatefully.


    But, at this point, Liao Wenguang had no choice either. He could only rely on He Jun entirely.


    They pledged solemnly in front of He Mingde before they departed to definitely crack the grand array and utterly eradicate the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Yet now, he nearly lost his little life just now. A round of tongue-lashing from He Mingde could not be dispensed with when they returned.


    Only by annihilating the Tranquil Cloud Sect could he look a little better in terms of face after returning.


    "Old He, everyone is serving the wind emperor. Don''t hold the suspense already, alright?" Liao Wenguang said unhappily.


    "Pooh! Know that you''re serving the wind emperor now? When you were snatching credit just now, where did you put the wind emperor?"


    Of course, He Jun did not say out these words. He just criticized in his heart. Liao Wenguang this fellow was too shameless.


    "I''ve researched all the Eight Great Sect''s sect protecting grand arrays before. The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array''s name is Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array. This array formation was originally a Quasi-Tier 5 array formation. Its power was extraordinary. It''s just don''t know what the reason was, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array seemed to have some imperfections. So it only had Low-Rank Tier 4 power." He Jun said slowly.


    From He Jun''s words, one could tell that the Purple Mansion Sect had wild ambitions towards the Southern Domain, and had long been making plans.


    He Jun had long researched the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array before, and more or less still had some understanding of the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.


    Liao Wenguang said in astonishment, "Could it be that . . . this array formation in front of us already has Quasi-Tier 5 grand array power? Doesn''t that mean that . . . unless a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse came, otherwise, we wouldn''t be able to crack this grand array no matter what?"


    He Jun shook his head and said, "How can a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array be so easy to set up? At least in the Southern Domain, there''s absolutely nobody who can lay down a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array! Furthermore, according to what I know, this Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array''s complete array formation was already lost. The Tranquil Cloud Sect themselves can''t set it up either."


    Liao Wenguang heaved a sigh and said, "Then your meaning is?"


    "Although this array formation can''t possibly reach Quasi-Tier 5 grand array standards, it has evidently been renewed and perfected by somebody. It should barely manage to reach High-Rank Tier 4 standards! Moreover, the strength of the person controlling the grand array is not beneath mine! Hence . . . wanting to directly crack the formation, I can''t do it too!" He Jun said with a grave face.


    "What? This grand array has someone controlling? Furthermore, strength isn''t beneath yours? In the land of the Southern Domain, other than the Heavenly Sky Sect''s Zhou Yun, who else can reach your level?" Liao Wenguang exclaimed in surprise.


    Liao Wenguang was utterly clueless about grand arrays and completely could not see through this array formation''s profundities. But He Jun could perceive some inkling.


    The Tier 4 Array Masters in the land of the Southern Domain only had two people. One was He Jun. The other person was a Heavenly Sky Sect grand elder called Zhou Yun.


    Before this, He Jun had secluded himself from society all along and did not come out. The Tier 4 array masters in the land of the Southern Domain was actually just this Zhou Yun alone.


    Hearing for the first time about this person whose formations path standards were not beneath He Jun''s controlling this grand array before their eyes, Liao Wenguang''s astoundment could be imagined.


    One had to know that Zhou Yun was still being detained at Towering Peak!


    Then who was inside the grand array?


    He Jun nodded his head slowly and his expression had unspeakable solemnness, "I also can''t figure it out after racking my brain! Logically speaking, the Tranquil Cloud Sect is the weakest sect among the Eight Great Sects. Counting in Luo Qingfeng, there are only just two Soul Sea Realms as well. I really want to know who on earth is controlling this sect protecting grand array inside right now!"


    Liao Wenguang felt rather parched. A Tier 4 Array Master whose strength was not inferior to He Ju controlling a High-Rank Tier 4 grand array. This was not something fun.


    His actions earlier were seriously too foolish.


    Thinking about it now, he was considered to have had a narrow escape.


    No wonder He Jun said previously that even if Sect Master came personally, he might not be able to crack this formation either.


    "Then . . . what should we do now? Go back first to report this matter to Sect Master?"


    Liao Wenguang no longer had the haughtiness of a Soul Sea Realm right now. Instead, he became somewhat timid.


    He Jun shook his head and said, "We mobilized a huge force and raised a big rumpus to come here. How can we return empty-handed? Hehe, encountering such an expert, Old He, I, am also itching to test my skills now! I really want to know who on earth is controlling the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array now! Although I can''t achieve directly cracking the formation, abating the power of this array formation and finding the vulnerable areas of this grand array, I can still accomplish it! Old Liao, in a while, I''ll go crack the formation. You help support me from the sides and wait for my news. When I let you attack, you launch your attack with all your might and completely break this formation!"


    As he said, He Jun flipped over his hand. His hand already had an additional bunch of multi-colored small flags in it.


    He took out a yellow small flag and his figure moved, arriving not far from the grand array.


    Only to see him casually wave his hand. Vast quantities of heaven & earth essence energy released from the small flag and sunk into the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array!

 459 Paying a Man Back in His Own Coin!

    He Jun''s actions did not cause a huge uproar like Liao Wenguang. But, it instantly boosted the confidence of the Purple Mansion Sect disciples considerably like a cardiac tonic.


    He Jun was the Southern Domain''s only two Tier 4 Array Master!


    Before today, Zhou Yun''s famous name resounded through the Southern Domain, because he was the only Tier 4 Array Master!


    But, Zhou Yun was just an Initial-Rank Tier 4 Array Master.


    While He Jun was a Middle-Rank Tier 4 Array Master!


    If even He Jun could not crack this grand array before them, then nobody could crack this formation in the Southern Domain!


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples all held their breaths, staring at He Jun''s actions fixedly, fearful of making any bit of noise and disturbing him cracking the formation.


    When the essence energy released by He Jun through the yellow tiny flag touched the grand array, it was the peaceful surface of a quiet lake having a rock tossed into it, immediately stirring up waves of ripples.


    The grand array suddenly exploded with light, seemingly wanting to shake off this strand of essence energy.


    He Jun had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth as he said, "The Prismatic Illusionary Moon Flags are a 128 restrictions spirit artifact and also my lifeblood spirit artifact. Even a High-Rank Tier 4 Array Master can''t possibly blast it off either! Be good. It will all be over very soon."


    He Jun continuously released essence energy, tightly entangling the grand array.


    After a moment, He Jun''s gaze turned intent, and he unleashed essence energy to shoot the yellow tiny flag out.


    "Clank!"


    A crisp sound came over. The yellow tiny flag inserted deep into a boulder not far away.


    The grand array seemed to have suffered damage. The light actually dimmed greatly in an instant!


    "Hahaha! Elder He is awesome!"


    "Elder He is indeed worthy of being a Tier 4 Array Master! Cracking this grand array in simply reaching out a hand to grab it!"


    "This Tranquil Cloud Sect has been too cocky in front of us! Did you see that stone plaque? This time, they finally got their faces smacked by Elder He, right? Wait until Elder He cracks the grand array. I''ll definitely smash that stone plaque into pieces!"


    When the Purple Mansion Sect disciples saw the grand array tottering, each and every one of them was unbelievably eager.


    Especially the disciples who came here last time. They were indeed suppressed too heavily these few days.


    The Purple Mansion Sect that swept away all resistance actually did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of the weakest Tranquil Cloud Sect. This was too humiliating!


    Now, seeing that the grand array had hopes of being cracked by He Jun, they all had an impulse to vent out their oppression.


    But He Jun himself was very composed. Only to see him take out another green tiny flag, casting it in the same manner, and nailing it onto a huge tree.


    This time, the grand array''s light dimmed some more.


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples were even more excited. Each one of them was like on stimulants.


    Only to see each and every one of them rub their fists and wipe their palms, all wishing to charge inside the Tranquil Cloud Sect at the first moment!


    Even Liao Wenguang had glittering eyes at this time and a feeling of eagerness to have a go.


    "Old He indeed has some skills. If I listened to him earlier, I wouldn''t have lost so much face too." Liao Wenguang was regretting secretly.


    While at this time, the expressions of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples in the center of the array were not too good.


    The array formation that they were in was adjoined into one with the grand array and could deeply sense that the grand array was currently being weakened. All of them were very worried.


    "J-Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, is . . . is this alright? Th-The grand array seems to have weakened again!"


    "Yeah, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. Don''t be miserly with our essence energy! Even if we are sucked dry, that''s fine too. As long as the grand array can be protected!"


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, we don''t fear death! If you need essence energy, feel free to use. My brows won''t furrow at all!"


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all trying to get a word in with Ye Yuan. Each and every one of their eyes looked death calmly in the face. All had the preparation to sacrifice their lives for the sect.


    Ye Yuan turned around and said with a faint smile, "Seniors and juniors, relax. When I need your essence energy, this Ye won''t hold back. But . . . it''s not to the point of the end of our ropes. Seniors and juniors don''t need to lose all hope like so either. Everything is within grasp."


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples exchanged glances, all seeing the excitement in the other person''s eyes.


    Not that they did not believe Ye Yuan, but because the Purple Mansion Sect''s strength was really too strong!


    Furthermore, they could clearly sense that the array formation was being weakened. That was why they were so anxious.


    But, Ye Yuan''s one sentence put all of their minds at ease.


    The present Ye Yuan had this capability.


    . . . . . .


    He Jun had a total of seven little flags in his hands. They were respectively seven types of colors.


    By the time the final blue flag stuck into place, the brilliance given off by the grand array was abated to the extreme all at once; like a person receiving heavy wounds.


    But, just seriously injured. The grand array did not collapse with a loud crash.


    Moreover, the grand array seemed to have spirituality. The radiance was bright at times, and dark at times. It seemed to be struggling even more intensely compared to before.


    Those seven little flags actually showed signs of loosening.


    He Jun did not dare to slight it. Pushing with both palms, seven streaks of essence energy strands flowed out from his palm, instantly connecting onto those seven little flags.


    The seven little flags stabilized very quickly.


    Seeing that Liao Wenguang was still in a daze, He Jun yelled out loudly, "What are you stoning there for? Quickly attack the grand array!"


    Liao Wenguang was shocked awake abruptly. Essence energy erupted in an instant.


    This time, Liao Wenguang maneuvered practically all the essence energy that could be mobilized in his entire body, pouring all of it into the Blood Drinking Saber.


    Blood Drinking Saber immediately emitted an extremely blinding red glow. An utterly horrifying aura undulated out.


    "Break for me!"


    Liao Wenguang swung his long saber. A terrifying attack surged forward towards the grand array!


    "Rumble!"


    Rock fragments flew all around. A large stretch of land outside the gates was practically flattened!


    The power of this one attack was too strong!


    "Elder Liao is almighty!"


    "Elder Liao is awesome!


    "Kill! Kill all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people! Take revenge for Elder Ma Yi!"


    The Purple Mansion Sect disciples all charged over towards the gates, wanting to charge inside the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    However, the expressions on He Jun and Liao Wenguang, the two of their faces, did not become eager. It turned grave instead.


    Liao Wenguang''s attack earlier did not receive any obstruction. It seemed to directly pass through the grand array!


    This . . . what was doing on here?


    It was still He Jun who reacted to it first. His expression unwittingly changed vividly, howling at Liao Wenguang, "Not good! Baited! Quickly run!"


    Liao Wenguang was stunned, then his expression immediately changed dramatically too.


    Because at this time, the grand array suddenly exploded with rays of light!


    Those dazzling rays of light was even more intense than before. How was there any hint of being restrained?


    Hundreds of light streams released from within the grand array, speeding towards He Jun and Liao Wenguang rapidly!


    Liao Wenguang was all too clear regarding the prowess of this flowing light. He nearly died under these light streams just now!


    There were only several streams of flowing light earlier, but now, there were hundreds!


    Because of cracking the formation, plus the effects of He Jun''s Prismatic Illusionary Moon Flags, the two people''s distance from the grand array was already very close.


    And Ye Yuan was waiting for this moment!


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    Violent explosion sounds sounded in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates. Those hundreds of light streams seemed like rolling thunder cascading down from the horizon, blasting what was in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates beyond recognition.


    After the explosions, before the Tranquil Cloud Sect gates, it was as still as death . . .

 460 Shocked Purple Mansion Sect!

    "What did you say?! Tell me again one more time!"


    Heavenly Sky Sect''s great hall. When He Mingde heard the Sea Transformation Realm Elder Zhu Mingyu''s report, he stood up with a start, a face full of disbelief.


    Zhu Mingyu was covered in wounds all over his body, looking very alarming.


    But, his injuries had clearly already been through treatment and was not a big deal.


    Seeing He Mingde question, Zhu Mingyu said through sobs, "L-Lord Sect Master! Grand Elder He and Elder Liao were killed on the spot by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array! The 1500 disciples this trip, the casualties exceed half! Just the Sea Transformation Realm elders, close to as many as 80 people were lost!"


    Zhu Mingyu still had fear in his eyes. He was already scared out of his wits by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array.


    First was personally witnessing the First Level Soul Sea Realm Ma Yi die before his eyes. Then, he witnessed with his own eyes the Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm He Jun and Liao Wenguang dying before him. This image would probably never be erased from his mind in this lifetime.


    After He Jun and Liao Wenguang died, he became the person with the highest strength in that team.


    If not for coming to deliver the news to He Mingde, he wished that he could immediately find a place to enter terminal seclusion and not come out even if he was beaten to death.


    Even now, his voice was still trembling unceasingly when speaking.


    Since the realm passageway was linked up, martial artists below the Soul Sea Realm could enter the Endless World.


    These few months'' time, there were already many Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists that entered the Endless World. They were all under He Mingde''s command.


    Otherwise, with the Purple Mansion Sect''s might alone, they had no way of attaining such horrifying strength either.


    With these reinforcements, the Purple Mansion Sect''s strength had long surpassed the Heavenly Sky Sect. That was why they could take down the entire Southern Domain without shedding a drop of blood.


    Yet, with each word that Zhu Mingyu said, He Mingde''s heart would drip a drop of blood.


    By the time Zhu Mingyu finished talking, He Mingde felt like the blood in his heart were almost drained dry already. He plopped his bottom back onto his seat, his face in a complete daze.


    The losses from the attack on the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time was too grievous!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s accident still made He Mingde attach importance to it. That was why attacking the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time, he practically sent nearly 40% of the Purple Mansion Sect''s martial artists!


    This trip, just the Sea Transformation Realm martial artists had over a hundred people!


    Yet, of these hundred over people, only fifty to sixty came back. Among them, many were laden with heavy injuries. They most likely would not have much endeavors in the future either.


    According to Zhu Mingyu''s description, He Jun and Liao Wenguang were slain on the spot by the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array.


    While the other disciples thought that the grand array was broken and charged inside the grand array''s range of fire crazily. In the end . . .


    Because Zhu Mingyu had to supervise, his actions were a step slow and just happened to rush to the peripherals of the sect protecting grand array, saving his life instead.


    He Mingde never would have dreamt that the Purple Mansion Sect would actually suffer such a calamitous defeat in the Southern Domain!


    Two Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm experts. This was absolutely a top beam like existence to the Purple Mansion Sect. Now, they actually perished together!


    "Puhwark!"


    He Mingde only felt sweetness in his throat, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    Even with He Mingde''s forbearance and wisdom, he also could not quite accept such a defeat at this time.


    "Lord Sect Master!"


    "Lord Sect Master!"


    . . . . . .


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s upper echelons were also in overwhelming shock earlier. Seeing He Mingde spew blood at this time, they could not help turning pale in alarm.


    He Mingde waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He opened his mouth and said to Zhu Mingyu, "Mingyu, you tell me the situation at that time. Don''t miss out anything at all!"


    Zhu Mingyu was seriously unwilling to recall the situation back then. But, the sect master raised it up. He had no choice but to force himself to look back upon it either.


    Right away, Zhu Mingyu described the situation back then in detail.


    Although they were not involved personally, when they heard Zhu Mingyu''s narrative, the Purple Mansion Sect''s upper echelons still felt a cold blast of wind hit them from behind.


    Zhu Mingyu said that he had yet to approach the grand array and he already ended up looking like this. Those Purple Mansion Sect disciples who charged inside the grand array''s attack range definitely died very miserably.


    He Mingde''s brows virtually knitted until they became one. He asked Zhu Mingyu, "He Jun said back then that even if I went, I can''t crack the grand array either?"


    Zhu Mingyu nodded and said, "Yes. Elder He said that at that time. Furthermore . . ."


    Seeing Zhu Mingyu wanting to speak but holding back, He Mingde said unhappily, "Whatever you have, say it!"


    "Yes! Disciple feels that . . . feels that even if sect master went to crack the formation personally, you''d most likely . . ."


    Zhu Mingyu still did not say finish the words at the back. But everyone understood his meaning and could not help drawing a cold breath.


    His meaning was that even if He Mingde personally went to crack the formation, he might not be able to retreat unscathed too!


    Looking from this, how strong was this grand array?


    He Mingde did not reveal a surprised expression. From Zhu Mingyu''s account just now, he already knew this point.


    The power of this grand array simply surpassed their imaginations!


    He Mingde muttered under his breath, "Just what happened to the Tranquil Cloud Sect? How could such a powerful existence suddenly pop out? Could it be that the Tranquil Cloud Sect has somebody who acquired the Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance back then?"


    At this time, a young profile stood up from the crowd.


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would recognize that this person was precisely the Lin Chao who he had not seen for a long time!


    Several months of not meeting, the present Lin Chao actually already cultivated to Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    He followed the Lan Family Tribe into the Central Capital back then. But at this time, he already returned to the Purple Mansion Sect.


    And those Fierce Gale World martial artists were precisely brought back by him.


    "Lord Sect Master, disciple has a bold conjecture. It''s just I don''t know if it''s right or not." Lin Chao had a profound look in his gaze.


    He Mingde''s eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "So, it''s Lin Chao. Is it possible that you know who this person controlling the grand array is?"


    Lin Chao shook his head and said, "Lin Chao dare not confirm. But, to say the person with the greatest possibility, nobody else is worthy except him!"


    He Mingde asked puzzledly, "Oh? Who?"


    "Ye Yuan!" Lin Chao said.


    He Mingde''s brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, he had not heard of this name before.


    Lin Chao did not waste his breath and recounted some of the events that happened within the mystic realm, greatly astonishing He Mingde and the other upper echelons.


    "You''re saying that this Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple Ye Yuan entered Tier 4 and Tier 5 grand arrays like it were flat ground? Moreover, he even relied on a set of Tier 3 array formation to battle four Sea Transformation Realms with Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation?"


    He Mingde felt that Lin Chao''s words were like a joke. But, he was deeply aware that it was impossible for Lin Chao to make a joke about this sort of thing.


    After Lin Chao completed the mission that the sect assigned, they started the grand plan of unifying the Southern Domain after coming back and simply did not have the time to report this matter to He Mingde.


    To think that over a month passed, such a huge pandemonium would actually appear!


    Furthermore, when Lin Chao came back, he already knew that Ye Yuan infiltrated the Fierce Gale World. He felt that it was simply impossible for Ye Yuan to return alive.


    Yet, the huge unforeseen accident at the Tranquil Cloud Sect now, Lin Chao seriously could not think of anybody more likely than Ye Yuan.


    Seeing He Mingde pose a question, Lin Chao clasped his hands and said, "Disciple dare not talk nonsense! If there wasn''t this Ye Yuan, perhaps disciple would not be able to pass through the array formation laid out by the Grand Yan True Sect either, and also could not have completed the mission at all!"

 461 Sea Expanding Pill!

    The group of upper echelons was exchanging glances. Clearly, this was their first time receiving information like this.


    And the shock that this news gave everyone was too overwhelming.


    According to what Lin Chao said, Ye Yuan only had a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation when he entered the mystic realm.


    He could actually traverse as easily as flat ground within Tier 4 and Tier 5 grand arrays at such a realm. Was this a joke?


    Yet, when placing this kind of unimaginable things on the present Tranquil Cloud Sect, it was also the most logical explanation!


    From Ye Yuan''s performance at that time, one could tell that his attainments in the formations path most likely surpassed the level of Tier 4 long ago.


    Without such strength, how could he control the sect protecting grand array and cut down three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses too?


    But, from then until now, merely a few short months had passed. This Ye Yuan could not go so far as to reach the level of Soul Sea Realm, right?


    This news was layered with contradictions within. There were many unexplainable issues. But looking at the outcome, it was also the most reasonable explanation.


    "The Tranquil Cloud Sect actually took in such a monstrous disciple? This is quite troublesome!" He Mingde said with a frown.


    He Mingde believed that Lin Chao would not joke around with this matter.


    Now, the Tranquil Cloud Sect was defending this grand array to the bitter end. I there were no Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse who came forth, the sect would be like a porcupine being covered in spikes everywhere. They would be completely helpless against the sect.


    This war really struck He Mingde until his flesh hurt. With the lesson this time, he no longer dared to storm the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Moreover, what kind of visual prowess did He Mingde had? He had long seen through that Zhu Mingyu who was already started dreading from the bottom of his heart.


    Even a peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm expert was frightened until like this, let alone ordinary disciples.


    Two middle-stage Soul Sea Realm grand elders perished under the grand array just like that. Most likely, there was nobody who dared to deliver themselves to death anymore either.


    Lin Chao''s eyes glimmered and said, "This boy''s talent can no longer be described using monstrous. But he has a huge Achilles heel. Maybe we can move in from this point!"


    He Mingde''s eyes narrowed and seemed to already know what Lin Chao was talking about. "You''re saying . . . Those prisoners on the Towering Peak?"


    Lin Chao nodded and said, "That''s right! This boy is somebody who values ties enormously! He originally had the chance to leave the mystic realm individually but infiltrated the Fierce Gale World without any hesitation. I''m thinking that since he has this weakness, why don''t we make use of it? As long as we force him out of the grand array, why would we need to worry about being unable to deal with him?"


    "What if he doesn''t come out?" asked a Soul Sea Realm elder.


    "Then we''ll kill one by one. Kill all the way until he comes out!"


    These words were said by Lin Chao with a smile. Except, his smile looked so cruel.


    . . . . . .


    These few days, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was in jubilation.


    This was a merry and hearty huge victory. The Tranquil Cloud Sect relied on the sect protecting grand array to cut down two middle-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouses!


    This was absolutely a one of a kind victory in the history of the Southern Domain!


    In the hearts of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples, Ye Yuan was already an existence that approached godlike.


    They knew fully well that even if Grand Elder Skymaple and Sect Master Luo were here, they completely could not do it to Ye Yuan''s extent either.


    Ye Yuan was simply sent by the heaven to save the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    With these two huge victories, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' fear towards the Purple Mansion Sect were long tossed to the back of their minds.


    Now, even if He Mingde came forth personally, they would also stand behind Ye Yuan without any signs of fear to transfer essence energy to him unceasingly.


    But Ye Yuan suddenly announced closed-seclusion ever since the great battle previously, leaving all of the sect''s matters to Mo Yuntian to manage.


    Everyone''s enthusiasm had nowhere to release, so they might as well busy with their own matters.


    Of course, even more disciples continued comprehending the inscribed characters that Ye Yuan left on Victory Peak, hoping to raise their mastery of concepts as soon as possible.


    The greatest improvement was naturally still Tian Yu. Now, there was already nobody who could approach the area of 200 feet around him!


    Apart from Tian Yu, Mo Yuntian''s improvement was also rather swift.


    Through a period of contemplating, Mo Yuntian already understood the profundities of the 30th sword character and was currently comprehending the 31st character.


    This period of time, Ye Yuan made use of the Square Cauldron to refine a large batch of Jade Spirit Pills too.


    Since returning from the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan had basically ceased comprehending concepts. As long as he had spare time, Ye Yuan would basically be cultivating essence energy.


    Before the great battle, Ye Yuan was only a step away from the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm.


    After that fight, Ye Yuan reckoned that the Purple Mansion Sect would most likely have to properly plan for a period of time. Hence, he announced closed-seclusion at the first instance he had.


    After three days, Ye Yuan directly burst past the Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm barrier!


    "Tsk tsk. Big Brother can indeed fight it out with me. His cultivation completely has no bottlenecks at all!" White Light was clicking his tongue as he said with a sigh.


    "Young Master''s concepts are much higher than his realm. Give him another one or two years, him breaking through to the Divine Traversing Realm directly isn''t anything much either," Yuan Fei said with a nod.


    "I really don''t know how he cultivates. He isn''t much older than me either. His comprehension of concepts is actually so high! Big Brother said that he was going to directly break through to the Sea Transformation Realm this closed-seclusion. When he exits, the expressions on those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples'' faces must be very fascinating."


    White Light was very excited, in a manner like desiring for the world to plunge into chaos.


    But Yuan Fei did not refute it. He also knew that what White Light said was correct.


    The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined, the medicinal efficacy was multiple, even over ten times of others. Plus his extremely heaven-defying cultivation method, he was totally unafraid of absorbing too much medicinal strength and could not withstand it. His cultivation speed was practically dozens of times of other ordinary people!


    Such a cultivation speed, these Lower-Realm martial artists could not be not astonished even if they wanted to.


    After entering seclusion, Ye Yuan was basically refining essence energy all the time. His realm was also rising extremely rapidly.


    Another eight days passed. Ye Yuan finally reached Peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm in one stroke!


    At this time, the insides of Ye Yuan''s dantian already swelled up. The fist-sized essence energy crystalline body practically filled up his dantian.


    Afterward, Ye Yuan spent another two days to consolidate his realm and started to break through to the Sea Transformation Realm directly!


    Sea Transformation Realm was just a transitionary realm but was an undeniably important realm.


    Shattering core, transforming sea. The size of the essence energy sea formed as well as the quality determined the heights that one would attain in the future to a very large degree.


    After shattering the core, the entire dantian would crumble. The original dantian would vanish. Within the martial artist''s body, a space will naturally form which was used to accommodate the essence energy sea.


    When ordinary four or five spirit liquid drops martial artists cultivated to the Sea Transformation Realm, they could basically only condense a fist-sized essence energy sea.


    In theory, the more spirit liquid the martial artist had, the larger the essence energy sea condensed.


    Furthermore, the size of the essence energy sea condensed for the first time also determined the limits of the martial artist in the future.


    That was why it was said that this realm that was not a major realm was of utmost importance!


    Ye Yuan condensed the perfect nine spirit liquid drops at that time. The essence energy crystalline body within his body at this time was much stronger compared to normal martial artists.


    Regarding how large an essence energy sea he could condense, Ye Yuan was very curious too.


    "Heh heh, I wonder how large an essence energy sea I can condense with my present state coupled with the Sea Expanding Pill. I''m really quite looking forward to this!" Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    As he said those words, Ye Yuan swallowed a dark medicinal pill. The essence energy within his body begun to seethe. His dantian area started collapsing!

 462 Shattering Core, Transforming Sea!

    "Hiss . . ."


    Ye Yuan took a deep, cold breath. The feeling of his dantian collapsing was not so easy to withstand.


    He felt like there was somebody using a 300 thousand catty hammer to pound his abdomen right now. That sort of agony practically made him unable to catch his breath.


    Shattering core, transforming sea; it was not something fun. There was no small number of martial artists who dared not take this step in their entire lives.


    A moment of carelessness and it was the outcome of the Dao dissipating and perishing!


    In truth, among myriad worlds, there were martial artists who died at this step every second!


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan likewise went through this process. That sort of hovering the line of life and death agony was still fresh in his memories up until now.


    But this lifetime''s shattering core seemed to be even more excruciating than the previous one!


    This time, Ye Yuan shattered the core under a virtually perfect condition. The essence energy in his body had already reached a saturated degree.


    The collapse of such thick essence energy was not something fun either for Ye Yuan.


    RUMBLE!


    Ye Yuan''s dantian cracked open inch by inch, seemingly like dried up earth, becoming full of fissures.


    What had fissured was not just the dantian. It also included the essence energy crystalline body within the dantian.


    The cracks became increasingly larger, bigger and bigger. Finally, it broke into pieces with a loud bang!


    "Argh!"


    Ye Yuan gave a long howl, venting out all of the anguish.


    At this moment, the torment reached its peak too!


    But this was only the beginning. The fragmented essence energy crystalline body still continued to splinter, and it was crumbling!


    Once this process of shattering the core started, it was akin to a world collapsing, all the way until everything turned into nothingness!


    Right then, a streak of gentle medicinal strength merged into Ye Yuan''s dantian area, splashing on those essence energy crystal bodies and the fragmented dantian.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan''s pain faded away considerably.


    This Sea Expanding Pill was a Divine Realm''s top-grade Tier 3 medicinal pill. It was used specifically to impact the Sea Transformation Realm. The Lower Realms did not have it at all.


    This period of time, Ye Yuan roamed many places and also had been collecting the various medicinal herbs that this Sea Expanding Pill required.


    Ye Yuan found several in the mystic realm. The remaining few medicinal herbs that were harder to find, Ye Yuan found them all at Star Abyss''s place.


    Although the Fierce Gale World was sparse in resources, the Alchemist Association was the pinnacle existence of the world after all. Finding several types of medicinal herbs still did not pose an issue.


    This Sea Expanding Pill was not an ordinary medicinal pill. Even in the Divine Realm, there were scanty few who knew it well enough.


    This kind of medicinal pill was what the various top factions in the Divine Realm used to groom junior disciples. Furthermore, only those true geniuses could obtain this medicinal pill.


    The reason was none other than because only the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association, the two great powers, had this pill formula!


    The Sea Expanding Pill could not only reduce the pain when the martial artist was breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, but it would also even help the martial artist expand their essence energy sea to the maximum limit!


    Such an effect would make any Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist go nuts!


    This was a medicinal pill that could raise a martial artist''s potential!


    Even if the martial artist''s essence energy sea only expanded a little bit, the martial artist would benefit for life too.


    Moreover, to apex geniuses, this tiny bit of difference might determine whose accomplishments would be higher!


    Very soon, those essence energy crystals crumbled into a powder-like state. But it was not over yet!


    Those powder-like crystal bodies finally turned into nothing.


    Ye Yuan''s dantian area was now stark empty; it was as if it was a black hole!


    "Wonder how large Big Brother''s essence energy sea will be!" White Light was also highly anticipating it.


    By the side, Yuan Fei''s expression became solemn too as he said in a grave voice, "It''s here!"


    His voice had yet to fade when the essence energy in the cultivation chamber was instantaneously siphoned empty!


    "Hiss . . ."


    Yuan Fei and White Light exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    This was the cultivation room that the Tranquil Cloud Sect elders normally used to cultivate. The density was twenty times of the outside world!


    Such thick heaven and earth essence energy was actually siphoned dry in an instant?


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan improved this cultivation room''s Spirit Gathering Formation before his retreat. Soon enough, large quantities of essence energy replenished inside again.


    But once these essence energies came in, it was immediately sucked dry by Ye Yuan again!


    Such an absorption speed made Yuan Fei and White Light unbelievably shocked.


    They were both demonic beasts with inherited memories and were very clear regarding the cultivation of human Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    When ordinary martial artists were breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was simply impossible to have such absorption rate.


    The speed of the absorption indicated that Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea still needed massive amounts of essence energy.


    These essence energies were just trying to put out a burning cartload of firewood with a cup of water to Ye Yuan!


    When the essence energy entered the body from all over Ye Yuan''s body, it was instantaneously sucked dry by the black hole inside his body!


    Soon enough, Ye Yuan ''s black hole-like dantian region had an additional pool of liquid state essence energy, suspended in the center of the black hole.


    This was the essence energy sea that had yet to take form!


    . . . . . .


    "En? What''s happening? The essence energy here seems to be draining away!"


    "Could it be that there''s somebody breaking through? But there are too many people breaking through these few days. Nobody caused such a commotion either!"


    "Oh, right, isn''t Junior Apprentice Brother Ye in closed-seclusion? Is it possible that he''s breaking through?"


    "There''s really that possibility! Bu, could it be that he''s breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm? Otherwise, why would there be such a huge bustle?"


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is in seclusion in the elders'' cultivation room. The essence energy density there is twenty times of the outside world. That still isn''t enough for him to absorb?"


    "Do you think that using common sense to gauge Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is reliable?"


    ". . . . . ."


    The essence energy around Ye Yuan''s cultivation room was sucked dry by the Spirit Gathering Formation; the absorption area began to widen out, alarming the other Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.


    Yet, nobody could have expected that this kind of situation persisted for as long as three days!


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea was just like a bottomless pit; it was seemingly unable to be filled no matter how one tried!


    "Old Yuan, will Big Brother be okay? This . . . He had already been absorbing essence energy for three days. Just how big is his essence energy sea?" White Light was somewhat filled with anxiety.


    Yuan Fei had a face full of astonishment too. These three days, he and White Light watched Ye Yuan absorbed essence energy the entire time. The essence energy in this cultivation room simply had not filled to the brim even up till now.


    Just how large did this essence energy sea had to be to be able to absorb at such a rate and amount?!


    "I don''t know either . . . But I reckon that Young Master''s essence energy sea is at least this big?" Yuan Fei gestured a bit, roughly the size of a bathtub.


    This was already massive for a First Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!


    The essence energy seas of the vast majority of Sea Transformation Realm martial artists when just broken through realm was only the size of a fist.


    Even for some genius martial artists, their essence energy seas were merely the size of a bowl.


    The Fierce Gale World''s Zhao Chenggan when just broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm was just the size of a face basin too.


    This was already the top existence within a world!


    At this time, Ye Yuan finally opened both eyes slowly.


    When Yuan Fei saw Ye Yuan''s eyes, he actually had a feeling of not daring to stare at it directly!


    His present realm was clearly around the same as Ye Yuan''s. But he felt immense pressure!


    "B-Boss, are you okay still?" White Light asked with somewhat of a parched mouth.


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile and said, "Never felt better!"


    "Then . . . just how large is your essence energy sea?" White Light still could not resist asking.

 463 Double Happiness

    "Around . . . a circumference of 10 feet," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "What?! T-Ten feet!" White Light and Yuan Fei''s eyes revealed immense shock at the same time.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. This breakthrough is still considered pretty good. A little better than imagined."


    Pretty good?


    It was simply heaven-defying, okay?!


    What kind of notion was a circumference of 10 feet? The essence energy sea of Third Level Sea Transformation Realms might not reach 10 feet either!


    After entering the Sea Transformation Realm, the focus of martial artists'' cultivation would be on the essence energy sea.


    Martial artists needed to expand the essence energy sea continuously to let the essence energy sea within their dantian space become increasingly more.


    Even for some powerful Third Level Sea Transformation Realms, very few among them would have essence energy sea that could reach a circumference of 10 feet!


    A circumference of 10 feet was the limit that Third Level Sea Transformation Realms could attain. Only those peerlessly talented geniuses could reach a circumference of 10 feet.


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan was only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    That was also to say that the essence energy reserves in Ye Yuan''s body right now was already more impressive compared to most Third Level Sea Transformation Realms!


    Seen before freaks, but never seen before such a freakish one!


    If this were to spread out, how would this let other martial artists live on?


    "Big . . . Big Brother, you''re really too perverse! Those pinnacle geniuses in the Divine Realm are but your standard too, right?"


    In White Light''s inherited memories, there were some records regarding the Divine Realm. Hence, he knew what kind of a freakish standard Ye Yuan''s breakthrough this time reached.


    A Lower Realm martial artist on the same level as a Divine Realm''s pinnacle genius. How monstrous of a talent did this need?!


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that Divine Realm''s standards. An essence energy sea with a circumference of 10 feet was also absolutely an outstanding existence when placed among those of the same generation in the Divine Realm.


    Those major factions'' junior generation that could reach a circumference of 10 feet when breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm absolutely did not surpass the number of fingers on one hand as well.


    How could the Crystal Formation Realms in the Divine Realm be limited to just millions upon millions?


    Not surpassing the number of fingers on one hand. It could be seen how immense the difficulty was.


    Ye Yuan had the perfect spirit condensation too. Adding on the effects of the Sea Expanding Pill, he reached such a degree.


    Hence, regarding the breakthrough this time, Ye Yuan was still rather pleased.


    At least, he knew that when Ji Canglan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm back then, he did not reach such a perfect state either.


    But Ye Yuan also knew that the factors affecting a martial artist''s growth were too numerous. Even if he surpassed the Sea Transformation Realm period Ji Canglan, he did not have any areas worthy of being prideful either.


    Because what he had to face was the Divine King Realm Ji Canglan!


    But, no matter what, this was a very good start.


    With his present state, he could basically sweep away Sea Transformation Realm martial artists in the Lower Realms.


    Even when facing a First Level Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, he had the strength to fight it out now too!


    "Haha. The Sea Transformation Realm is only the beginning. Haven''t even reached the middle three stages yet. There''s still a long way down the road. Not much of a big deal. Let''s go out to take a look first." Towards such a breakthrough, Ye Yuan himself took it very indifferently.


    He needed formidable strength right now and not to crush those in the same generation.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze had never been on those in the same generation. Because he and those in the same generation were not in the same world to begin with.


    One he stepped out, Mo Yuntian came forward to greet.


    The moment he saw Ye Yuan, his eyes could not help becoming intent as he said in shock, "J-Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you actually broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm already!"


    In truth, Ye Yuan breaking through to Sea Transformation Realm was not what he was most surprised by.


    What Mo Yuntian was most taken aback by was that when he faced Ye Yuan, he actually had a feeling of beholding a great mountain!


    He had only experienced this kind of feeling with Sect Master Luo Qingfeng before!


    How was this possible?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan already reached Sect Master''s height?


    But he was only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "En. The seclusion this time was in order to break through to the Sea Transformation Realm. Fortunately, the process went quite smoothly. Is Senior Apprentice Brother Mo looking for me for something?"


    Mo Yuntian nodded his head and said with a solemn look, "Zhao Xin they all sent news. Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master, He Mingde, personally led several thousand disciples to charge over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect in mighty contingents! They will reach the Tranquil Cloud Sect after five days!"


    Ye Yuan said, "There should be other news, right?"


    Mo Yuntian was stunned and said in surprise, "Uh, how does Junior Apprentice Brother know? This time, He Mingde . . . is escorting Grand Elder Skymaple, Sect Master, as well as Master, Hall Head Ling they all over here together! Looks like . . . they want to force us out of the grand array!"


    Ye Yuan did not show a surprised expression. It was as if he had long expected this matter.


    He did not go along with Mo Yuntian''s words to continue asking, but he enquired, "How''s Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu''s progress these few days?"


    Mo Yuntian could not quite follow Ye Yuan''s thought process. What was the meaning of asking about Tian Yu at this time?


    Could it be that Tian Yu breaking through realms had any impact on the battle situation?


    Mo Yuntian was just about to speak when all of a sudden, a streak of sword intent shot towards the skies. The entire Tranquil Cloud Sect could see it clearly!


    Looking at the direction, it was precisely the direction of Victory Peak!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu broke through. Come, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo. Let''s go take a look at Victory Peak together."


    . . . . . .


    On Victory Peak, sword intent pervaded all around. All the disciples did not dare to approach at all.


    Tian Yu''s clothes were flapping. His entire being was akin to a celestial god descending upon the mortal world!


    After a long while, that boundless sword intent all returned to Tian Yu''s body.


    The present Tian Yu was akin to a drawn sharp sword; incomparably fierce and sharp.


    Clap! Clap! Clap!


    Unexpected applause sounded. A voice was heard. "Haha. Congratulations to Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu for comprehending true intent. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect has hope for revival!"


    Tian Yu''s entire body quivered. Arriving before Ye Yuan with a flash, he gave a solemn bow as he said, "For Tian Yu to be able to have this day, it''s all due to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s credit! After today, I, Tian Yu, am willing to follow Junior Apprentice Brother Ye wherever you go so as to repay this kindness!"


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You got to be joking! You''re the sect''s future and even Grand Elder Skymaple''s lineal grandson. How can you follow by my side?"


    "After the sect tides over the crisis this time, Tian Yu is willing to serve beside Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, all the way until Junior Apprentice Brother Ye ascends to the Divine Realm!" said Tian Yu very obstinately.


    At present, Tian Yu had already comprehended true intent. Yet, it was precisely because of so that he was even more aware of Ye Yuan''s prowess!


    The concept that Ye Yuan comprehended was actually even more powerful than true intent!


    Hence, the day that Ye Yuan ascended to the Divine Realm would not too far away. Furthermore, it was definitely before him!


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would play this card and could not help saying with a chuckle, "Haha. Then, let''s wait until the sect passes this crisis first before talking."


    Tian Yu suddenly froze, the eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with revealed a disbelieving look.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm!" Tian Yu exclaimed in shock.


    Same as Mo Yuntian, what he was shocked by was not Ye Yuan breaking through realm.


    Tian Yu had just comprehended true intent. His sword intent could not be controlled as he willed yet. But he discovered to his amazement, the sword intent that was leaking out from his body actually dissipated on its own when it approached Ye Yuan''s body as if it had seen something terrifying!


    Tian Yu originally thought that with him comprehending true intent, he could more or less shrink some of the distance between Ye Yuan and him.


    But now, he knew that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan and was even greater!Looking at a great man with awe

 464 Profound Ice Flag

    With the approach of the Purple Mansion Sect''s great army, the atmosphere in the Tranquil Cloud Sect became tense once again.


    This time, it was different from before. The Purple Mansion Sect was bringing hostages over!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons were virtually all in the hands of the Purple Mansion Sect. The other party was threatening them with this. What should they do now?


    "Purple Mansion Sect this bunch of fellows is really too despicable! They can''t beat us head-on, so they actually used Grand Elder''s and Sect Master''s lives to come and coerce us!"


    "Heh heh, that bunch of fellows simply don''t know what face is. Isn''t being cunning and insidious what they are most skilled in? If it weren''t for them enduring patiently for many years and pushing the Heavenly Sky Sect to the teeth of the storm, how could the Southern Domain change hands so easy as well?"


    "I say, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, how about you guys go ask Senior Apprentice Brother Ye? We don''t have any confidence at all in our hearts!"


    One had to acknowledge that Lin Chao''s move was indeed vicious.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sole reliance was the sect protecting grand array. But with this move from Lin Chao, it was forcing people out of the grand array.


    This plan which severed any future offspring truly had no chink in the armor.


    Tian Yu and Mo Yuntian exchanged a look and nodded at the same time.


    Regardless of how great a breakthrough they obtained, facing the formidable Purple Mansion Sect, they simply did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Their only reliance was Ye Yuan!


    Yet, when they arrived at Ye Yuan''s residence, they discovered that Ye Yuan was not there at all.


    Asking around, nobody knew where Ye Yuan went either.


    . . . . . .


    Under the moonlight, two silhouettes appeared outside the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates.


    "Has Miss Yue been well recently?"


    "Being by Mister Ye''s side, Li-er''s pain has lessened considerably."


    "Sigh. It''s a shame that I can''t take time off to attend to something else right now. Or else, I can help you seek out the Azure Spirit Tree. The Endless Forest''s territory is vast, and resources are abundant. Perhaps the Azure Spirit Tree can be found in there!"


    "Endless Forest huh . . . That place seems very extraordinary. I went there once but only up to the 10 thousand mile region before not daring to go deeper in. A tiny little lower plane actually has such a terrifying place! If it is the Endless Forest, there might really be an Azure Spirit Tree. It''s just . . . that place is too dangerous. I don''t wish for you to take such a huge risk for me."


    "Miss Yue is treating me as an outsider with those words. If I remember correctly, the mystic realm trip this time, Miss Yue saved me three times, right? If I didn''t encounter Miss Yue, how would I, Ye Yuan, still have the life to speak here right now?"


    Yue Mengli covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Didn''t Mister Ye save me too?"


    Being together with Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli was meeting with her original looks.


    Looking at a beauty under the moon. This gentle smile from Yue Mengli seemingly stirred the moonlight, captivating even the moonlight!


    Ye Yuan actually stared at her somewhat dazedly.


    "So beautiful!" Ye Yuan was overcome by an irresistible impulse to give a praise.


    Yue Mengli was stunned and actually lowered her head with a blush all over her face.


    Ever since growing up, the men who flattered Yue Mengli was too many to count. But she did not even spare a glance at those men''s fawning.


    But, not knowing why, hearing Ye Yuan''s words today, she actually had a feeling of palpitation and excitement.


    For such a long time, Yue Mengli followed Ye Yuan on the quiet and was already very clear on his character.


    She knew that Ye Yuan''s words earlier was wholehearted praise and did not have the slightest intention of being frivolous.


    Ye Yuan was not that kind of lecherous individual. Or else, placing a kingdom-toppling great beauty like Xiao Ruyan in front of him, normal people would have long taken her into their harem. How would it become this sort of relationship now?


    It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan''s praises appeared even more precious.


    Ye Yuan also realized that he lost composure and said with an awkward smile, "Miss Yue . . ."


    "Mister Ye better call me Li-er. Or Mengli works too," Yue Mengli responded.


    Ye Yuan did not try to feign either and said with a nod, "Then I''d better call you Li-er. You don''t keep calling me Mister Ye either. Just say my name directly."


    Yue Mengli nodded her head. Ye Yuan continued, "How was that considered saving people? It was just displaying my meager skills before an expert."


    But Yue Mengli shook her head and said, "With my looks at that time, you and I were complete strangers, and you actually risked your life to save Li-er. Li-er has always engraved it in my heart. Furthermore, Ye Yuan, you have the compassionate heart of a doctor. Seeing that I had a strange ailment, you didn''t stint in sharing the pill formula and divine soul mystic art. Such breadth of mind is highly precious to Li-er."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, let''s not blow each other''s trumpets here. I have a score about everything in my heart. Li-er''s ailment, just count on me! After the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s matters settle, I''ll enter the Endless Forest to help you find this Azure Spirit Tree."


    Yue Mingli smiled sweetly and said, "Then Li-er give thanks in advance."


    Finished talking, the pair exchanged glances and smiled, but the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.


    As they walked, they actually fell silent.


    Finally, it was Yue Mengli who broke this silence. She said, "Ye Yuan, you''re really a prodigious talent. I observe that your current aura is only stronger and not weaker than those at the Third Level Sea Transformation Realm! In the Sea Transformation Realm, you''re nigh invincible! Moreover, when you were at the Crystal Formation Realm, you actually comprehended the elementary form of a supreme true intent! It is truly mind-boggling! With your talent, even when placed in the Divine Realm, you''re also a pinnacle existence. I really dare not believe that you came from a tiny little secular world kingdom."


    Yue Mengli''s horizons were absolutely not what Lower Realm martial artists could compare to. Things that many Lower Realm martial artists did not understand, Yue Mengli knew.


    But, the more so, the more Yue Mengli felt that Ye Yuan was an enigmatic existence.


    Or perhaps, it was precisely this sort of enigmatic disposition which deeply attracted her.


    "Haha. This Ye naturally had some fortuitous encounters. Furthermore, I''m not foreign to the Divine Realm''s matters either. But this Ye, I, has my own difficulties that are hard to disclose. When there''s a chance in the future, this Ye will definitely speak candidly," Ye Yuan said.


    Yue Mengli''s eyes flickered, and she gave a melancholic sigh as he said, "Which genius such as yourself doesn''t have their own secrets. I won''t ask then."


    Ye Yuan gave a slight smile, feeling that this Yue Mengli was really considerate.


    When speaking and doing things, she gave people a feeling of the spring breeze caressing one''s cheeks.


    "Thank you very much, Li-er," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yue Mengli said smilingly, "You didn''t invite me out of the sect at night just to chit-chat and admire the moon, right?"


    Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Of course not!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted. A sword finger shot over towards the jungle.


    Only to see an azure light flash, vanishing into the dense vegetation.


    "Ah!" A miserable cry was heard. There was actually somebody lying in wait there!


    Yue Mengli did not have any surprised expression towards this. Evidently, she had known long ago.


    Right then, two black shadows suddenly scurried not far away, fleeing helter-skelter.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and shot out another two streaks of sword qi!


    Another two tragic cries sounded.


    Ye Yuan dusted his hands and said, "Alright. Those spying little thieves are cleaned up. Now, we can get down to proper business!"


    As he said this, Ye Yuan took out a small flag from his storage ring. It was shockingly the Profound Ice Flag that Wei Xiao gave him back at the Grand Yan Space!


    Yue Mengli''s gaze turned intent, and she said, "It''s actually an array formation profound artifact!"


    "Hur hur, Li-er has sharp eyes!" Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    "You''re trying to . . ." Yue Mengli said curiously.


    "You''ll know in a while."


    As he said, Ye Yuan mustered up essence energy. The Profound Ice Flag emitted a dazzling light!

 465 Tian Yu’s Resolve

    The vast and mighty army gathered before the gates once more with He Mingde taking the lead. The air of an overlord was displayed fully beyond all doubt.


    Lin Chao came forward from the army. He yelled out in the direction of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, "Ye Yuan, an old friend came here to see you, and you don''t even come out to say hi. This isn''t the way to treat guests!"


    Finished talking, Lin Chao was not in a rush either, quietly waiting for Ye Yuan''s reply.


    Hearing Lin Chao''s yell, Mo Yuntian said in surprise, "We came back so secretively. How did the Purple Mansion Sect know that you''re directing the grand array?"


    Ye Yuan was also rather surprised. But he reacted to it very quickly and said with a smile, "Hur hur, this person, Senior Apprentice Brother Mo knows as well. It''s really an old friend!"


    "I know too? Ah! You''re saying . . . Lin Chao?" Mo Yuntian reacted to it too.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he nodded and said, "This person is full of schemes and has already witnessed my performance in the mystic realm. Him guessing that I had returned isn''t strange."


    Mo Yuntian''s brows knitted tightly. Evidently, his impression of this Lin Chao was very deep.


    One could say that the situation formed in the Southern Domain right now, the root all lay with this Lin Chao!


    "Looking at it, the idea of using Grand Elder they all to threaten us was surely came up by him. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you mustn''t fall for it!" Mo Yuntian said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Haha. I''ll go and meet with this Lin Chao!"


    "No way!"


    "Out of the question!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan was just about to leave the grand array when all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples actually blocked his exit without any prior consultation and refused to let him leave.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you''re the sect''s last hope. If anything were to happen to you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be thoroughly finished!"


    "Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. They are clearly trying to force you out in the open. You mustn''t fall for it!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, we can''t let you deliver yourself to death!"


    . . . . . .


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all clamoring to speak. All in all, the meaning that they were trying to bring across was to not let Ye Yuan go through dangers easily.


    Right then, Lin Chao''s voice came over once more.


    "Ye Yuan, are you not even going to honor an old friend''s invitation? I brought immense sincerity over here this time. You take a look. Grand Elder Skymaple, Sect Master Luo, Hall Head Xiao, Hall Head Ling, I brought all of them here for you!"


    When these words came out, everyone''s faces all changed.


    Ye Yuan said, "Haha, looks like whether I go out or not isn''t up to me!"


    The faces of those Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were all very conflicted but not a single one moved their foot away. Evidently, they were still unwilling to let Ye Yuan go out in their hearts.


    Yet, Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest, their lives were in danger. The disciples truly did not know what they should do.


    Right at that moment, Tian Yu suddenly came forward.


    Only to see his eyes crimson red throughout, his entire person like he was possessed.


    When Ye Yuan saw Tian Yu like this, he could not help being stunned too. "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu?"


    Tian Yu suddenly shut his eyes, took in a deep breath, and snapped open his eyes and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, don''t go out! Grandpa they . . . they all will understand!"


    This sentence, ten over words, Tian Yu seemed to have used all of his strength.


    Especially the latter half of the sentence. He practically choked it out through sobs.


    When he finished talking, his face was already covered in tears.


    Such a decision was too cruel to him.


    Tian Yu was practically brought up by Skymaple hand-in-hand. Their relationship, everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect knew.


    Yet now, Tian Yu actually said to give up on Grand Elder!


    Everyone''s gazes focused on Tian Yu, and their eyes actually turned red.


    Everybody fell silent. This decision was an extremely arduous decision for everyone.


    Yet, Lin Chao seemed to know what was happening here. His voice rang out untimely again. "Ye Yuan, I know that you can hear me! Look, I invited you out to meet up and have a chat properly, but you just have to make me resort to force. How about this? From now onwards, every 15 minutes, I''ll kill a Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoner all the way until you come out!"


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples heard this, they wished that they could go out and tear Lin Chao into shreds.


    But one had to acknowledge that Lin Chao''s words seemed to clamp down on their throats, making it extremely uncomfortable for them.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You all heard as well. We can''t very well look on passively as Grand Elder they all die in front of us, right? Everybody relax. I''ll be right back. Nothing will happen."


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved and passed the group of Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.


    Yet, right at this time, a figure blocked in front of him. It was precisely Tian Yu.


    "Ye Yuan, not that I fear death, but seeking death like this is really not worth it! Any one of us can go and die, only you alone can''t! Without you, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will thoroughly lose any hope for taking revenge!" Tian Yu said resolutely.


    Ye Yuan was touched in his heart, but he said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, rest assured. I''m not going to court death."


    Tian Yu was very clear about Ye Yuan''s character. Except, the sect protecting grand array was Ye Yuan''s final measure. How could he be willing to believe Ye Yuan''s words?


    Even if Ye Yuan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, it was also not possible to be He Mingde''s match!


    Going out like this, what was it but seeking death?


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, if you must go out, then kill me first! If you insist on leaving, I know that I can''t stop you, but I can kill myself!"


    As he said, Tian Yu raised his sword and put it against his neck.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tian Yu would actually be so decisive. He said helplessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I''m really not deceiving you. Time is of the essence. Explain to you again later. Going to have to offend!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s figure flashed, arriving in front of Tian Yu the next instant.


    Tian Yu did not even get to react and was brought down by Ye Yuan.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, help me take care of Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu. I''ll be right back," Ye Yuan said.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan flew away.


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan, looks like you don''t care about these Tranquil Cloud Sect people''s lives anymore. Then I''ll make a move! Remember to find somebody to help collect their corpses in a while! Do it!" Lin Chao''s voice resounded throughout the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "Halt!"


    A voice came over. Ye Yuan''s figure slowly appeared out from the grand array.


    When Lin Chao saw Ye Yuan, he could not help it but to show a smile because his scheme had succeeded.


    "Ye Yuan, it''s really been a long time we haven''t see each other!" Lin Chao said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Lin Chao, it''s really you!"


    "Huhu, these words should be said by me instead! I really didn''t think that you could actually escape from the Fierce Gale World! Truly inconceivable!'' Lin Chao said.


    "Zhao Tianyin is a fool. What''s so strange about escaping from his hands?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Lin Chao was stupefied when he heard that and said, "Who''s Zhao Tianyin?"


    "You don''t even know the Wind Emperor''s exalted name and actually work yourself to the bone for him. I really feel sad for you!" Ye Yuan said with a look of pity.


    "H-His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s name! You . . . You have met the Wind Emperor, His Excellency?"


    Lin Chao no longer had the composure from before. What replaced it was astonishment.


    He thought that Ye Yuan was being hunted down the entire time and that being able to escape was simply by luck.


    But now, Ye Yuan said that he met the Wind Emperor and even escaped from the Wind Emperor''s hands!


    How was this possible?


    Then he heard Ye Yuan nonchalantly said, "Haha, not only have I met him, his elderly self . . . even kowtowed before me to admit his fault!"

 466 Obliterated?

    When Ye Yuan''s words were heard, not just Lin Chao, all of the Purple Mansion Sect''s disciples were overwhelmed with indignation!


    They felt that this was Ye Yuan insulting His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!


    How could a puny little Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple make the high and mighty Wind Emperor kneel down?


    Lin Chao''s expression became very ugly, and he said with a cold grunt, "Ye Yuan, you''re challenging my baseline! Looks like if I don''t show you some colors, you''ll forever not know pain! Come, men! Bring Ling Potian up here for me and kill him!"


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master seemed to not have the intention of talking and left everything here to Lin Chao.


    Under Lin Chao''s command, Ling Potian was brought before the formation very quickly by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    Ling Potian still had that icy-cold look and was pushed and shoved by two Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. But his expression was one with stubbornness!


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his face changed, and he said, "Lin Chao, I already came out. What else do you want?"


    Lin Chao said with a cold smile, "His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is a paramount existence. You actually dare to defame him so! This is the result of you slandering him!"


    As he said, Lin Chao did a chopping action. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist raised his hand and lowered his blade without even furrowing his eyebrows. Ling Potian died just like this.


    Ye Yuan was livid with rage. Clearly, he did not think that Lin Chao would actually be so decisive to directly kill people.


    Lin Chao waved his hand. But this time, Xiao Jian was brought up!


    "Ye Yuan, I think that you still haven''t figure out just how is holding the initiative right now!" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with a proud look.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very ugly, and he said with a cold snort, "Lin Chao, don''t go too far!"


    "Haha. When you used the grand array to cut down our three grand elders, why didn''t you say words like this? I really never expected that you could actually rely on a grand array to perform to such an extent. Honestly speaking, if not for guessing that you had returned, I really wouldn''t have dared to recommend Sect Master to use such measures. I think that with your personality, you probably wouldn''t watch passively as the few of them died in front of you, right? Hahaha!"


    Talking about how he was proud of himself, Lin Chao laughed wildly unceasingly.


    "Lin Chao! I really regret not killing you back then in the mystic realm!" Ye Yuan said, through gnashed teeth.


    "There is no medicine that can be eaten for regret in this world! Speaking of which, if not for you bringing me past those grand arrays, I wouldn''t have a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! For my Fierce Gale World''s aboriginals to be able to appear in the sight of people once again, it''s truly all thanks to you!" Lin Chao became more delighted the more he talked.


    Speaking of which, Lin Chao also suffered a fair bit of losses in the hands of Ye Yuan too, and he almost died in Ye Yuan''s hands a number of times.


    Now that he could finally take revenge on Ye Yuan, Lin Chao was also incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart.


    Seeing that visage of Ye Yuan''s that was black like the bottom of a pot, Lin Chao felt liberating to the max.


    "Talk then. What terms do you want before you''re willing to let Grand Elder they all go!" Ye Yuan said.


    Lin Chao said smilingly, "Very simple. As long as you get rid of this sect protecting grand array and surrender to my Purple Mansion Sect, I can spare their lives!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he immediately refused, "That''s impossible! Keep dreaming!"


    Lin Chao had an amused look as he said, "Is that so . . ."


    As he spoke, Lin Chao''s hand slowly raised.


    Only to hear a spray. Xiao Jian was decapitated too!


    "Hall Head Xiao!" Ye Yuan clearly did not expect that Lin Chao would actually kill people like so without batting his eyes, as he said with a roar.


    "Huhu. I wonder . . . if I''m dreaming right now?" Lin Chao looked at Ye Yuan and said mockingly.


    He knew Ye Yuan''s temperament, which was why he used such intense measures to force Ye Yuan to submit.


    The first two was killed straightforwardly. But at the back, he would naturally take it slow.


    As long as he still had a person in his hands, he would not fear Ye Yuan not holding back when taking action.


    As long as Ye Yuan removed the grand array, then the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was equivalent to being annihilated.


    Or maybe, Ye Yuan himself walking out of the grand array.


    Lin Chao believed that so long as this sect protecting grand array did not have Ye Yuan presiding over it, with He Mingde''s strength, he could surely breach it easily!


    What he needed to do was to stun Ye Yuan''s state of mind, and make Ye Yuan lose his normal judgment.


    Now, his plan had basically half-succeeded already!


    Ye Yuan currently had furious eyes; far from that sort of cool and composed feeling normally.


    At this time, Lin Chao waved his hand again. The one brought up this time was precisely Sect Master Luo Qingfeng!


    "Ye Yuan, still want to do it?" Lin Chao said coolly.


    The current Lin Chao was like a sovereign who overlooked all life, holding the power of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelon''s life and death!


    Ye Yuan''s present complexion was already gloomy to be extreme. He enunciated word by word, "You''re . . . courting . . . death!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan walked out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array just like that, bringing along floating flower petals that filled the entire sky.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Chao was not alarmed, but became delighted instead!


    This Ye Yuan finally could not bear it and walked out of the grand array himself!


    Although he was alarmed due to the might of Ye Yuan''s attacks, with Lord Sect Master here, what could Ye Yuan do to him?


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were crimson red, looking as if he was completely possessed.


    Thousand Flowing Petals carried a soul-stirring deterring power as it gradually approached Lin Chao.


    He Mingde looked at Ye Yuan and Lin Chao''s conversation expressionlessly all the way until this moment, did his eyes show immense shock.


    The power of this move was too strong!


    This was still his first time seeing this genius from Lin Chao''s mouth. When he saw him for the first time earlier, he did not seem to have any extraordinary aspects either.


    But when he saw this scene, He Mingde finally understood that Lin Chao''s appraisal of Ye Yuan was not too high. It was actually too low!


    Just based on this move, Ye Yuan was simply without any match within the Sea Transformation Realm!


    Yet, this young man was just merely First Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    Such talent, such combat strength, it was overwhelming until it made people feel suffocated!


    However . . .


    A hint of a cruel smile flashed across He Mingde''s face. Even more talented geniuses would stop here today!


    Ye Yuan stood inside the grand array all along previously. He Mingde was wary of the grand array; that was why he observed by the side the entire time.


    Now that Ye Yuan already walked out of the sect protecting grand array, He Mingde no longer had anything to fear.


    Lin Chao was a peerless genius among the Purple Mansion Sect''s junior generation. Going to the Fierce Gale World this time and obtaining His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s bestowal, his strength improved at a tremendous pace even more so.


    But, even like this, he was still not Ye Yuan''s match!


    He Mingde naturally would not watch Ye Yuan kill Lin Chao passively. Hence, he took action. Ye Yuan was already increasingly closer to Lin Chao. The astonishment in Lin Chao''s could not be any greater as well.


    He felt immense pressure. The attack of a First Level Sea Transformation Realm could actually give him such tremendous pressure!


    But Lin Chao did not perform any defensive move. He knew that He Mingde would definitely make a move!


    As long as Ye Yuan exited the grand array, he did not have any chance to return anymore!


    "Lin Chao, it''s you who are seeking death; I can''t be blamed!" Ye Yuan said in a seemingly crazed-state.


    At present, Ye Yuan had advanced to the Sea Transformation Realm. The power of the Thousand Flowing Petals went further up another step.


    Those horrifying flying petals swept towards Lin Chao.


    At that very moment, a horrifying majesty descended abruptly. A white light roughly the size of a bowl plummeted from the sky, directly blasting onto Ye Yuan''s body!


    Ye Yuan did not even get to scream out and was obliterated by this move!


    Lin Chao looked at this scene with a look of self-delight and was incomparably satisfied.


    This fellow finally died!


    Yet, right at that moment, He Mingde''s expression changed. He yelled out, "Lin Chao, be careful!"

 467 Unable to Distinguish Real from Fake

    Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan being obliterated, his move would also dissipate right away.


    Yet, those flying petals that covered the sky actually did not have the slightest trace of dissipating. Instead, it sped up and churned over towards Lin Chao!


    When Lin Chao saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    He Mingde did not expect such an outcome either and could not help turning pale with fright.


    His figure swayed, and vanished from its original spot!


    Yet, it was already late!


    Even though the speed of a late-stage Soul Sea Realm was fast, him only moving at this time was clearly a beat slower already.


    Clusters of flower petals quickly encased Lin Chao!


    "Agh! Sect Master, save me!"


    He already sensed the power of this move just now. But he only realised how terrifying this move was when confronting it head-on right now!


    No matter how he unleashed his moves, it had no way of obstructing the flower petals'' encroachment!


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    In the blink of an eye, the flower petals broke through his protective essence energy and sliced his flesh body!


    "Lin Chao!"


    By the time He Mingde reached, Lin Chao already sprawled feebly onto the ground, his life and death unknown.


    He Mingde''s face was livid with rage as he looked at this scene in disbelief.


    A First Level Sea Transformation Realm actually succeeded in ambushing Lin Chao right under He Mingde''s eyes!


    That move of his earlier had clearly struck Ye Yuan already. Putting aside that Ye Yuan was just a First Level Sea Transformation Realm, even a First Level Soul Sea Realm should be deader than dead too.


    But why did Ye Yuan''s move not dissipate?


    He Mingde quickly raised his head, looking all around, trying to find Ye Yuan''s profile.


    However, where was Ye Yuan''s silhouette?


    It was as if he just blasted onto the air just now!


    This kind of feeling was extremely surreal. He Mingde had never encountered such a situation before.


    Suddenly, He Mingde''s expression changed.


    A figure gradually took form in front of him. It was precisely Ye Yuan that he obliterated previously!


    Ye Yuan shot an indifferent glance at Lin Chao collapsed on the ground and said with a sigh, "A pity. I expended too much essence energy in the end. Killing you now is a kind of ability falling short of my will. Consider it you''re having another life then."


    Looking at Ye Yuan not far away, He Mingde was very perplexed. Just how did Ye Yuan dodge his attack earlier?


    That sort of feeling earlier was absolutely unmistakable. He had indeed struck Ye Yuan.


    A First Level Sea Transformation Realm received an attack of his fully and actually stood before him without a scratch. What kind of situation was this?


    He Mingde was scheming and calculating by nature. Seeing Ye Yuan appear again, he did not immediately take action.


    He surveyed the surroundings but did not discover anything out of the ordinary.


    Just where did the problem occur?


    "Boy, how did you do it?" He Mingde suddenly opened his mouth to ask.


    Ye Yuan lifted his head slightly, looked at He Mingde, and he said, "Wanted to do it, so did it. Didn''t you take into account every conceivable possibility? Make a guess then what means I used to do it."


    He Mingde''s brows furrowed. Ye Yuan had a look as if he had nothing to fear. Very clearly, he did not fear He Mingde taking action.


    "Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Go to hell!"


    He Mingde struck out a palm and obliterated Ye Yuan again!


    The feeling was exactly the same as before. The Ye Yuan before his eyes was deader than dead.


    This time, he should be really dead, right?


    Looking around again, he totally did not sense Ye Yuan''s aura. Just a dead person in front of him.


    Not knowing why, He Mingde actually had a feeling of liberated from a heavy load.


    "Were you looking for me?" A cool voice was heard. It actually startled He Mingde until he broke into a cold sweat.


    Raising his head to look, Ye Yuan was standing there perfectly unscathed again, like nothing happened at all just now!


    "You . . . How are you still alive?!" He Mingde said as his expression changed.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You should feel lucky, lucky that my present realm is still low. Or else, you attacking the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time would be your time of death! Now, bring your men and quickly scram!"


    He Mingde was livid with rage. He finally confirmed that he had already fallen into an illusion!


    But . . . just when did he fall into an illusion?


    Could it be that there was an even more powerful existence behind this young man?


    He Mingde discovered to his shock that this illusion was too lifelike.


    If not for Ye Yuan this irrational existence, he wouldn''t even know that he had succumbed to an illusion!


    "Just how did you do it? You''re only at the First Level Sea Transformation Realm. How can you possibly set up such a formidable illusionary formation?" He Mingde asked grimly.


    Wanting to deceive a powerhouse whose realm was so much higher than his with an illusionary formation, this was simply impossible!


    Furthermore, this was not a small-scale illusionary formation. An extremely massive illusionary formation was needed to deceive everyone from the Purple Mansion Sect. The demand for energy and effort for an array master reached an even more terrifying extent.


    Ye Yuan flashed a smile and said, "Still remember Grand Yan True Sect?"


    This time, He Mingde was truly astounded. "You . . . You''re the Grand Yan True Sect''s successor?"


    "It''s also not wrong for you to think that way. Back then, in order to stop your Fierce Gale World from invading, the Grand Yan True Sect mustered the entire sect''s power to seal the realm passageway. Yet, you all destroyed that seal. Now, using this grand array to deal with you also counts as retribution!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Impossible! Although the Grand Yan True Sect''s array formation was incredible, there was no such illusionary array either!"


    He Mingde was clearly very clear about the Grand Yan True Sect and did not believe at all.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "If the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master had grasped this set of array formation back then, then there wouldn''t have anything to do with the Wind Emperor. If he dared to come, he would also have no chance to return alive!"


    The astonishment in He Mingde''s heart could not be any greater. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was not false.


    This set of array formation was too powerful. It actually made him, a late-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse, sink into it imperceptibly.


    If the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master had fully comprehended this set of array formation back then, crossing realms to trap His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, might not be impossible either!


    What made He Mingde even more shocked was that an array formation that even the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master was unable to comprehend, this young man before his eyes actually comprehended it!


    He Mingde was very clear about the Grand Yan True Sect and was deeply aware of what kind of genius the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master was.


    Just how monstrous was this youth before his eyes?!


    "Alright. Not much time left. Thank you very much for sending Sect Master Luo they all back over a long distance. Now, you all can get lost."


    Ye Yuan finished talking, and his profile vanished hazily where he stood.


    He Mingde''s hairs stood on its ends from feeling alarmed. Could it be that the array formation already vanished?


    But compared to just now, there didn''t seem to be anything different!


    No, wait!


    He Mingde''s face changed and was just about to check on the Tranquil Cloud Sect prisoners, but heard the Purple Mansion Sect disciples over there crying out already!


    "Ah! Where''s Skymaple?"


    "Luo Qingfeng disappeared too!"


    "Also Xiao Jian and Ling Potian!"


    "This . . . What''s going on here? I was still grabbing them earlier. Where are they?"


    All . . . All disappeared? Hang on, Xiao Jian? Ling Potian? Weren''t those two people dead already? He Mingde just now clearly saw Lin Chao give the orders to kill them!


    His gaze became intense and involuntarily looked over where those two people were beheaded earlier. But how was there any corpses there? There wasn''t even a drop of bloodstain!


    He Mingde was completely thrown off his bearings. His mind was in somewhat of a trance right now. Just what was real and what was fake?


    He suddenly took a look at the Lin Chao on the ground. Seemed like only this was real . . .

 468 Empty Fort Strategy!

    "L-Lord Sect Master, what happened?" Zhu Mingyu asked He Mingde hesitantly.


    This scene was too bizarre. In broad daylight, with thousands of pairs of eyes watching, the prisoners actually vanished without a trace.


    "Scram! Useless thing!" He Mingde snarled irately, sending Zhu Mingyu flying with a slap.


    He naturally knew that Zhu Mingyu could not be blamed for this. Even he, a late-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artist, fell into the grand array imperceptibly, let alone the Sea Transformation Realm Zhu Mingyu.


    But He Mingde was gloomy to the max right now and just happened to need an outlet to vent. At that moment, Zhu Mingyu came forward insensibly. Served him right to have a tough luck.


    Furthermore, this kind of thing needed somebody to take the blame. Zhu Mingyu was responsible for guarding the prisoners this time. Now that the prisoners were gone, he obviously became the best scapegoat.


    "You dunce! Can''t even watch the prisoners! What do I want you for?" He Mingde said in a deep voice.


    This blow of his directly beat Zhu Mingyu to heavy injuries, and he could not even speak.


    He Mingde looked at the sect protecting grand array before his eyes and mused for a long while because slowly spitting out several words, "Army, withdraw!"


    Ye Yuan was seriously too abnormal. Hence, He Mingde did not have the courage to challenge this grand array.


    Ma Yi''s, He Jun''s, and Liao Wenguang''s incidences were still vivid in his mind. If even he, the sect master, died to it as well, the Purple Mansion Sect would be in a complete disarray.


    Hence, He Mingde chose to withdraw in the end!


    It was just that He Mingde did not know he missed the one and only chance to breach the sect protecting grand array.


    . . . . . .


    When Skymaple and the rest were carried into the Tranquil Cloud Sect by the stone ape clan, they felt that this was like a dream.


    "Martial Uncle, are we . . . dreaming? We actually . . . returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect again!" Luo Qingfeng said tremblingly.


    Skymaple had a face full of shock as well as he said, "Yeah. It''s really like a dream! I even thought that we''d die horrible deaths this time. I didn''t expect that in a twinkle, we actually returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    "Just . . . Just what in the world happened? Why did those Purple Mansion Sect people have no reaction at all when we were brought out? This . . . This is too unbelievable!" Xiao Jian still did not dare to believe it until now.


    "And these stone apes . . . what''s going on?"


    Before long, they arrived at the central area of the formation. When Mo Yuntian and the rest of the disciples saw Skymaple and the rest, they immediately froze.


    "G-Grand Elder, Sect Master, Master . . . you all . . . you all . . ." Mo Yuntian had a look of disbelief.


    They were still worrying about Ye Yuan. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Skymaple and the rest actually showed up before their eyes. This gave them an extremely unreal feeling.


    "Yuntian . . . you . . . you''re actually still alive!"


    When Xiao Jian saw this eldest disciple, his eyes unwittingly turned red and was actually about to shed tears.


    Skymaple and the rest were similarly dumbfounded with shock. Originally, they thought that Mo Yuntian these people all died in the mystic realm. Now, they actually came back perfectly unscathed. Furthermore, their strength all had improved.


    "Yuntian, can it be that you saved us?" Xiao Jian said in astonishment.


    Mo Yuntian shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "How could we have such capabilities? This one month plus, it was Ye Yuan alone holding up the overall situation!"


    "Y-Ye Yuan? Where is he?" Xiao Jian exclaimed in surprise.


    Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng exchanged glances and thought the same thing. Indeed it''s Ye Yuan!


    Actually, at the Towering Peak, the two of them already had speculations in their hearts. But hearing Mo Yuntian''s reply personally right now, they still felt tongue-tied from the shock.


    "Ye Yuan he . . . " Mo Yuntian said somewhat hesitantly.


    He really did not know where Ye Yuan went. Logically speaking, having rescued Skymaple and the rest, Ye Yuan should have returned. But Ye Yuan did not make an appearance after so long.


    "Ye Yuan forcefully deployed the Greater Confounding Formation. Currently, his essence energy and soul force are consumed greatly, and he already fell into a coma."


    At this time, a gorgeous figure appeared in the sights of everybody. It was precisely Yue Mengli.


    Although Yue Mengli''s appearance was ugly, after coming into contact frequently, her every action had a noble grace. The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples actually could not give birth to any disgust towards her.


    "What? Ye Yuan he . . . is he alright?" Skymaple exclaimed.


    Yue Mengli shook her head and said, "Ye Yuan prepared long ago. There isn''t any major issue. But he probably can''t meet with anyone these few days. He asks you all to settle the sect''s internal affairs first. After he leaves seclusion, he''ll naturally meet with you guys. Oh, right, the Purple Mansion Sect has already retreated. The Tranquil Cloud Sect is safe for the time being."


    As she said, Yue Mengli was wonderstruck in her heart too.


    Ye Yuan took into account virtually everything. If He Mingde personally cracked the formation at this time, without Ye Yuan''s management, the grand array would simply not be able to endure.


    But after witnessing Ye Yuan''s bizarre means, He Mingde simply did not dare to easily attack the formation, and he actually led the Purple Mansion Sect disciples to withdraw!


    This empty fort strategy was simply sung unprecedented in history, and it was unrepeatable after!


    These few days, she had accompanied Ye Yuan to set up the formation constantly and also had many interactions with Ye Yuan.


    Yue Mengli discovered to her shock that Ye Yuan was simply a genius!


    From the day that he used the sect protecting grand array to defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death, he already predicted the situation today.


    Slaying two middle-stage Soul Sea Realms domineeringly before was for the sake of making He Mingde be in awe; it was to make him not dare to make any move rashly!


    Such scheming strategy was simply heaven-defying!


    Finished talking, Yue Mengli gave a graceful bow to everyone and left.


    The Greater Confounding Formation was born from the Asura Confounding Formation. But it was much more powerful than the Lesser Confounding Formation that Ye Yuan used in the Fierce Gale World.


    Just to set up this grand array, Ye Yuan used five days'' time. This was even the result of making use of the profound artifact, Profound Ice Flag.


    Ever since Ye Yuan exited seclusion, he would disappear for a period of time each day. It was to go in front of the gates to set up the Greater Confounding Formation!


    Ye Yuan linked up the sect protecting grand array and the Greater Confounding Formation ingeniously. Moreover, the setup range was massive.


    This Profound Ice Flag was really a supreme Formation Path treasure. It should be the treasure that Lu Linfeng left behind for the sect before ascending. Using it to set up the grand array was really twice the result with half the effort.


    It was also precisely due to the Profound Ice Flag''s assistance that Ye Yuan could complete the setup of this Greater Confounding Formation and deploy it.


    The Profound Ice Flag and the Greater Confounding Formation that came from the Asura Confounding Formation were well-deserving of being supreme lower realm treasures that the Grand Yan Divine King left behind. Furthermore, matching these two items together actually had indescribable might. It could make He Mingde, an expert of such level, fell into the grand array unknowingly.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, deploying and maintaining this grand array was still too forceful.


    Plus, he even forcefully used the Thousand Flowing Petals at the final juncture and severely injured Lin Chao. This caused his consumption to be even greater as well.


    After Yue Mengli left, Skymaple said with Mo Yuntian, "Come, come, Yuntian. Have a good chat with me about your experiences these few months."


    Mo Yuntian nodded to acknowledge and recounted the various events that happened during this period of time for Skymaple and the rest.


    Only then did Skymaple and the rest know just the sort of sky-rocking incident happened in these few months.


    Even though they were imprisoned in the Heavenly Sky Sect these few days, they were very perplexed the entire time. They were unaware how the Purple Mansion Sect had such strength.


    Only now, hearing that there was actually an existence like the Fierce Gale World, did they come to a realization.


    Hearing about how Ye Yuan actually slew three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses with the sect protecting grand array again, they were astounded until their jaws nearly fell off!

 469 Mysterious Visitor

    "Ye Yuan prevented the entire Southern Domain''s decline with his strength alone!? What a godly achievement!"


    Hearing Mo Yuntian''s narration, Skymaple gave a heartfelt gasp of admiration.


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s talent was immensely high. But he did not think that it was actually high to such an extent.


    When Skymaple and they all were imprisoned by the Purple Mansion Sect, each one of them thought that the Southern Domain was completely finished.


    Who knew that paths wound along mountain ridges, and things took a turn for the better. A Crystal Formation Realm Ye Yuan could actually force back the Purple Mansion Sect three times successively!


    "Yeah. If not for witnessing it with my own eyes, I wouldn''t dare to believe it at all." Mo Yuntian himself was overcome with emotions too.


    At this time, Skymaple''s face suddenly changed, and he said, "Yuntian, why . . . don''t I see Tian Yu?"


    His voice had yet to fade when Tian Yu suddenly appeared here and said agitatedly, "Grandpa!"


    Ye Yuan blow was not heavy. Tian Yu just happened to wake up in this short while. Hearing that Ye Yuan rescued everybody, he sprinted madly all the way over here.


    Seeing Skymaple, Tian Yu was unbelievably agitated and actually shed tears.


    When Skymaple saw Tian Yu, tears similarly coursed down his old face.


    These days, Skymaple thought that Tian Yu perished in the mystic realm, and his entire person was awfully haggard.


    Now, seeing his grandson returned safe and sound, it untied the knot in his heart.


    By the side, Luo Qingfeng, the sect''s upper echelons, as well as the disciples, could not help tearing when they saw this scene.


    This period of time, everyone''s inner heart was extremely anguished.


    The sect was destroyed. These people were all shouldering a tremendous psychological burden.


    Right after they returned to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they survived a calamity. They could at least guarantee that the sect''s teachings would not be wiped out.


    Luo Qingfeng and the rest heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts.


    After the small talk, Skymaple pulled Tian Yu over and sized him up carefully. The smile on his face gradually became astonishment.


    Skymaple discovered that Tian Yu''s eyes emitted radiance. Tian Yu standing there was just like a still sheathed sharp sword, seemingly vastly different from before!


    "Tian Yu, you . . ." Skymaple said in surprise.


    Tian Yu smiled blushingly; he could not quite blow his own trumpet. But Mo Yuntian said with a smile, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, Tian Yu has already comprehended a true intent. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect has hopes for revival!"


    Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng''s gaze turned intent as they looked at Tian Yu disbelievingly.


    "Tian Yu, is what your Senior Apprentice Brother Mo said true?" Skymaple said in shock.


    Tian Yu nodded with a smile. Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng exchanged a glance, the shock gradually becoming a pleasant surprise.


    "Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Truly, the heaven hasn''t forsaken my Tranquil Cloud Sect! To think that my Tranquil Cloud Sect could beget fortune from a disaster and actually let Little Yu comprehend a true intent! Heaven has really opened its eyes!"


    Skymaple said good three times in a row. It could be seen how elated he was in his heart.


    Tranquil Cloud Sect produced a junior who had comprehended a true intent. And this junior was even his lineal grandson!


    "Grand Elder misspoke about this. This has nothing to do with the heaven at all. I could comprehend a true intent entirely because of Ye Yuan!" Tian Yu said with a smile.


    Skymaple and the rest were stunned and could not help being curious.


    Why was it Ye Yuan again?


    Tian Yu recounted the incident of Ye Yuan engraving sword characters, leaving Skymaple and the rest speechless for a long time.


    . . . . . .


    Fierce Gale World, the depths of the Central Capital''s royal palace.


    A martial artist dressed in a black robe sat on the throne, while another person was prostrated before him.


    If there were people here, their jaws would surely hit the ground in shock.


    The exalted Wind Emperor, Zhao Tianyin, was actually kneeling in front of this man!


    "Zhao Tianyin, you''ve really disappointed This Seat greatly!" The black-robed man''s voice reverberated throughout the royal palace, giving people a very unreal sensation.


    The unparalleled, overbearing Zhao Tianyin was just like an obedient kitten at this time.


    Hearing the black-robed man''s words, Zhao Tianyin''s forehead sweat profusely as he said with profound respect and trepidation, "Lord Holy Envoy, please calm your fury! That Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is seriously too powerful. Even when the base of the formation is wrecked, it''s also very hard to link the realm passageway!"


    The black-robed man said with a cold smile, "How can the array formation left behind by the Grand Yan Divine King be what you, a puny little Boundless Realm, can perceive? Fortunately, his descendants were all some useless people. Or else, you all wouldn''t even know how you died! But I don''t want to listen to reasons. If you delay the matter, and the higher-ups lay down the blame, Shangguan Wuhui''s outcome, you''re aware of it!"


    Hearing these words, Zhao Tianyun involuntarily shuddered, sweat dripping like rain.


    "Lord Holy Envoy, please rest assured. I''ll set off right away to personally make a move to link together the realm passageway. However . . ."


    "Talk quickly if you have something to say! Don''t mince your words!" said the black-robed man with a cold grunt.


    "Yes, yes. It''s like this, a woman with extremely formidable strength came from the Endless World. Subordinate . . . Subordinate isn''t her match."


    Zhao Tianyin recounted the events on that day falteringly. But the black-robed man fell silent after hearing it.


    The black-robed man did not speak. Zhao Tianyin did not dare to interject either. He just kneeled there, waiting quietly for the black-robed man.


    After a long while, the black-robed man suddenly opened his mouth to say, "You''re saying that that girl knows ocular arts? She just gave you a glance, and you got controlled by her?"


    "Yes. Subordinate dare not deceive Holy Envoy. There are still other people who know about that day''s event."


    "Okay. What you said, I got it all. I''ll think of ways to resolve this matter. Everything carries on according to the original plan! If it delays again, you know the consequences! Also, you don''t go and provoke the Alchemist Association. So long as they don''t affect our plans, let them be," said the black-robed man with a cold grunt.


    "Yes. Subordinate will definitely do all I can to accomplish the task that Holy Envoy instructed!" Zhao Tianyin said.


    "Humph! I hope so! Alright, it''s inappropriate for me to stay for long in this place. All the best to you!"


    As he said, the black-robed man got up. A light door actually appeared in front of him.


    The black-robed man stepped forward and entered, vanishing completely.


    Seeing the black-robed man disappear, only then, did Zhao Tianyun heave a long sigh in relief. He discovered that it was as if he was hauled out of water, completely drenched thoroughly.


    Zhao Tianyin''s gaze looked towards the vacant space area. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    Only after a long while, did he grit his teeth and said, "Shangguan Wuhui, oh Shangguan Wuhui! You''re bringing a wolf into the house here! They raised the Fierce Gale World to a middle-order small world, but we became their dogs! No way! I mustn''t follow in Shangguan Wuhui''s footsteps!"


    The Wind Emperor was always high and lofty in front of everybody. Who would have thought that he could actually have such a side.


    Furthermore, most likely, nobody would have thought that the previous Wind Emperor, Shangguan Wuhui, did not ascend to the Divine Realm. Instead, he was obliterated by this mysterious organization!


    And the present Zhao Tianyin was stepping onto the same path as Shangguan Wuhui once more!


    . . . . . .


    Three days later, Ye Yuan finally walked out of the secret chamber. Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest, were waiting outside since long ago.


    "Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, Hall Head Xiao, long time no see!" Seeing these people, Ye Yuan was also quite overcome with emotion.


    Skymaple and the rest exchanged glances, and they actually bowed down towards Ye Yuan at the same time!


    Ye Yuan hurriedly support Skymaple and said, "Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, why are you all doing this?"


    Skymaple said with a sigh, "Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect could only preserve our Dao teachings from being annihilated by receiving your great grace. I, Skymaple, as the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Grand Elder, nearly caused the sect to be destroyed! I really can''t think of how to thank you, so I can only come here to give you a bow!"


    [0] In Chapter 338, the Fierce Gale World was supposed to be a high-order small world, while the Endless World was a middle-order small world. However, the author suddenly changed it. No freaking clue. Gonna translate as it is first.

 470 Entire Sect Moving North

    Among the Southern Domain''s Eight Great Sects, only the Purple Mansion Sect and the Tranquil Cloud Sect were left right now.


    For the Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to preserve their Dao teachings and preserve their sect from destruction, it could be said to be a miracle.


    Ye Yuan did so many things for the sect, yet the sect practically did not seem to have anything to repay him with. This had to be said to be a very embarrassing thing.


    Hence, Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest discussed it, and finally still decided to come and give Ye Yuan a big bow, to express gratitude on behalf of the sect.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Grand Elder is killing Ye Yuan. I''m just a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple. Since entering the sect, I''ve received the various elders'' and fellow apprentices'' care. How can I look on unconcernedly by the side when the sect is in trouble? This matter ends here. Grand Elder mustn''t mention it again!"


    Reaching the end, Ye Yuan''s tone became a little heavy, and he revealed some unhappiness.


    When Skymaple and the rest saw his reaction, their hearts all felt a chill.


    The power emitted from Ye Yuan''s body actually left them at a loss on what to do.


    Only now did Skymaple suddenly discover that this young man before him had already unknowingly grown into a great towering tree, and he could shelter the sect from the wind and rain.


    In the past, Ye Yuan was just an immensely talented junior disciple in their eyes. His future was bright, but his strength was a little lacking.


    But seeing Ye Yuan again today, Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng discovered to their shock that the aura on Ye Yuan''s body was actually not much weaker than theirs anymore.


    Especially Xiao Jian and Ling Potian, their thoughts and feelings were the most profound. Because that instance just now, they actually had a palpitating feeling.


    This made them realize that they could very well not be Ye Yuan''s match already!


    Recalling back when Ye Yuan had just entered the sect, the two of them really had a feeling like they were dreaming."Alright, alright, we won''t mention it! Ye Yuan, in your view, facing the Fierce Gale World''s invasion, what should we do?"


    Skymaple also realized the awkwardness and hastily switched the topic.


    Ye Yuan did not reply straight away. He invited them into the hidden chamber, before saying words that astonished everyone.


    "The Southern Domain can''t be defended. While the realm passageway has yet to link together fully, we should take advantage and move the entire sect to the north," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "What? Move the entire sect move? But . . ." Xiao Jian was taken aback in fright by Ye Yuan''s words.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect fought off the Purple Mansion Sect''s great armies thrice consecutively and barely managed to guard a piece of holy land. Now, they actually had to discard it!


    Although Xiao Jian and the rest''s ideals were to return to the Northern Domain, they grew up in the Southern Domain after all. Suddenly hearing this news, they still felt somewhat acclimatized.


    "Hall Head Xiao, don''t make a fuss over nothing. Listen to Ye Yuan is going to say till the end." Luo Qingfeng was much more composed as he voiced out to reproach Xiao Jian.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. Once there are Divine Traversing Realm experts appearing, the Tranquil Cloud Sect will be the first to bear the brunt. The Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array is only a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. It can''t withstand the attacks of a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse."


    "But . . . since that''s the case, why didn''t Ye Yuan you move north earlier? Why did you persist on holding fast to this land?" Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth to ask.


    "Those Northern Domain''s major powers most likely still don''t know the Purple Mansion Sect''s origin and think that the Southern Domain''s great change was just the Endless World''s internal affairs. The Fierce Gale World has been blocking off the news the entire time. The goal also lied here. It''s already late for the Northern Domain to prepare now. If the Purple Mansion Sect rules the Southern Domain and lays down a solid foundation for the Fierce Gale World''s invasion, the Northern Domain will be caught even more unprepared. At that time, with the Fierce Gale World using the Southern Domain as a springboard, the Endless World most likely wouldn''t even have the strength for a single battle. Furthermore . . . Grand Elder, Sect Master Luo, and the rest of you all were still in the Purple Mansion Sect''s hands. How could we move north without careful consideration?" Ye Yuan explained.


    It was hard to leave one''s homeland. Moreover, Skymaple and the rest still did not have a clear understanding of the Fierce Gale World''s might.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, they still said rather hesitatingly, "Didn''t you send Mei Zhen to the Northern Domain? When they get the news, they should attack in retaliation right away, no? Our Endless World is rich in resources. In terms of strength, we shouldn''t lose to the Fierce Gale World martial artists, right?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Although the Fierce Gale World is scarce in resources, the martial artists'' combat strength is extremely powerful! Same-rank martial artists, the Endless World might not be their match . . ."


    Ye Yuan picked out a few of the important information and knowledge from the Fierce Gale World for Skymaple they all to listen, including the matter of the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect''s six sovereign level powerhouses back then to lay down the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array.


    After listening finish, the facial expressions of Skymaple and the rest became grave.


    Moreover, the Fierce Gale World''s most thorny entity was still the Wind Emperor, Zhao Tianyin, after all!


    "Actually, I don''t hold much confidence in Elder Mei to be able to convince those Northern Domain''s heavyweights. That''s why counting on them to pull the Purple Mansion Sect up by the roots is simply impossible. The best situation right now is also just the two worlds'' martial artists confronting each other with the endless forest in-between," Ye Yuan said.


    Only then, did Skymaple and the rest realize the jeopardy of the situation. They exchanged glances, and Skymaple said, "Alright then. Ye Yuan, we''ll listen to you completely!"


    Ye Yuan did not decline, saying with a nod, "Okay. I estimate that the realm passageway linking together is just a matter of this half a month too. We should make preparations early. Hall Head Xiao, these few days, you should bring a batch of people and set off first to be the advance party for the sect''s retreat. The Northern Domain''s territories are all places with owners. Some conflicts are bound to be unavoidable when we migrate the whole sect. Hall Head Xiao, after you go, don''t pick those places rich in essence energy. The top priority is to find a place to settle down. Also, there is a need to send some people to find that batch of people from before."


    Towards Ye Yuan''s tone that carried a slightly commanding style, the few people did not say much.


    Ye Yuan had this qualification now.


    Most importantly, they all knew that Ye Yuan would not harm the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Xiao Jian nodded and said, "Okay. I''ll go and pick a batch of disciples right away and set off these two days."


    Ye Yuan said to Luo Qingfeng, "The other matters will have to trouble Sect Master Luo."


    Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Alright. I''ll go and handle them right away."


    Everyone was just about to leave when a disciple came forward to report in a slightly excited manner, "Grand Elder, Sect Master, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, news bearers came from the Northern Domain!"


    The eyes of Skymaple and the rest all lit up as they said excitedly, "Oh? Who came? Quickly bring us to meet them!"


    But Ye Yuan''s gaze flickered and did not seem to be interested in this.


    To Ye Yuan, he never placed hopes on those Northern Domain sects.


    In the world of martial artists, relying on others was pointless. Only one''s own strength being formidable could preserve oneself.


    But the Northern Domain reacting so swiftly had indeed exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    "Hang on!" Skymaple and the rest were just in a hurry to leave when they were halted by Ye Yuan.


    "What is it, Ye Yuan? A messenger came from the Northern Domain. It probably isn''t nice to neglect them, right?" Luo Qingfeng said.


    But Ye Yuan did not answer, asking that disciple instead, "Did Elder Mei come back together with him?"


    That disciple was stunned, shook his head, and said, "No. Didn''t see Elder Mei. A total of three people came, saying that they are the Northern Domain''s Myriad Sword Sect''s disciples!" Hearing this name, everybody''s faces including Tian Yu''s, all changed.

 471 Arrogant Messengers

    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to be stunned.


    "Grand Elder, this Myriad Sword Sect . . ."


    Skymaple''s expression was very ugly. But he still replied, "Back then, the ones who forced our Tranquil Cloud Sect out of the Northern Domain was precisely the Myriad Sword Sect!"


    Ye Yuan frowned when he heard that and said, "If the messengers are from the Myriad Sword Sect, Elder Mei he . . . It''s all my fault, only thinking to notify the Northern Domain and didn''t think that such a thing would happen."


    Mei Zhen and Ye Yuan went through thick and thin together along the way. If something really happened to Mei Zhen, Ye Yuan definitely would not let this Myriad Sword Sect off.


    "How can this be blamed on you? This matter, only I, Qingfeng, and the five of them know. Mei Zhen himself didn''t know either. Sigh. Hopefully, it''s just a coincidence. So many years have passed since the incident. Maybe this matter has already faded from the Myriad Sword Sect''s memories. After all, we don''t pose any threat to them at all right now," Skymaple said with a sigh.


    "Go. Let''s meet with these people," Ye Yuan said.


    . . . . . .


    The group came to the main hall. But the moment they entered, their expressions changed abruptly.


    Several Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were lying on the ground groaning endlessly. Three youngsters sat on the highest three positions in the center of the main hall.


    "The three of you. Insolence!"


    Xiao Jian was a forthright person. How could he tolerate it when he saw this sort of situation? He directly wielded his sword and stabbed towards that youth in the center.


    But the youth on the right seat curled his mouth and said with a sneer, "Violet Rain Cool Breeze is it? I know it too!"


    As he said, he leaped up and actually executed the exact same move as Xiao Jian!


    "Careful, Xiao Jian!" Luo Qingfeng was greatly alarmed and hurriedly yelled out. But it was already late. The two person''s attacks clashed together swiftly.


    That youth was a Seventh Level Sea Transformation Realm. Xiao Jian was already half-step Soul Sea Realm at present. Yet, that youth''s attack actually arrived first despite being executed later. The speed was even a little faster than Xiao Jian''s!


    Clank!


    The sound of metal colliding echoed. Xiao Jian actually gave a muffled groan and was sent flying out.


    Skymaple and the rest were greatly startled seeing the situation. Luo Qingfeng went up to catch Xiao Jian.


    Executed by Xiao Jian, a half-step Soul Sea Realm, he actually sustained injuries in one move!


    Entirely not on the same level! This young man was too strong!


    "You! How do you know the Violet Rain Cool Breeze?!" Luo Qingfeng asked gravely.


    Violet Rain Cool Breeze was an extremely powerful move in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art''s Sea Transformation Realm. This young man before him was actually even more skilled in it compared to Xiao Jian. This had to be said to be a kind of immense irony!


    The young man said with a faint smile when he heard that, "You''re the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master, right? Introducing myself, I''m Myriad Sword Sect disciple, Li Junjie. These two are my seniors. The one sitting on the left is Gu Tianyou. The one in the seat of honor is our eldest senior brother, Qin Yan. As for why I know Violet Rain Cool Breeze, very simple, because what I cultivate in is also the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art."


    A faint smile hung on the corner of Li Junjie''s mouth from start to end. Except, that smile had a somewhat mocking undertone no matter how one looked at it.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s foundation was the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. But Li Junjie defeated Xiao Jian with the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s cultivation martial technique. This was seriously a tremendous blow to the Tranquil Cloud Sect members.


    Indeed, hearing Li Junjie''s words, Skymaple and the rest''s faces revealed sorrow.


    How did Li Junjie know the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, this was not hard to guess.


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved south in a haste back then, many cultivation methods and martial technique were all lost.


    Very clearly, the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was obtained by the Myriad Sword Sect.


    The Myriad Sword Sect''s core cultivation method was not the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. But this did not impede their disciples from cultivating this cultivation method.


    One had to know that the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art was a true blue Tier 5 cultivation method. It could let martial artists train to Peak Divine Traversing Realm.


    The Myriad Sword Sect''s own core cultivation method was merely like so as well.


    "Tsk tsk. Back then, my Myriad Sword Sect did not exterminate your Tranquil Cloud Sect to the last person because of a variety of reasons. Originally, we thought that you all could progress a little coming to the Southern Domain. Who knew that you would deteriorate with each passing day!" Gu Tianyou said with a pitying look.


    "Yeah. Your own sect''s cultivation method actually can''t even beat me. That person just now seems to be your Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelon, right? To actually not even be my, this Disciple''s, match. Sigh . . ." Li Junjie said.


    "Recalling back then, the Tranquil Cloud Sect commanded the wind and clouds in the Northern Domain. Who dared to provoke the sect? Now, it actually declined to such a degree. Truly makes people feel regrettable," Gu Tianyou said.


    The two people chimed in one after the other. Hearing it sounded like pitying the Tranquil Cloud Sect, but actually it was simply picking a quarrel and completely thought nothing of the Tranquil Cloud Sect people.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect''s face was already thrown on the ground by these two, trampled again and again.


    While Luo Qingfeng was composed, how could he still endure at this time?


    Luo Qingfeng took a step forward and said with an ill-intent look, "You three are so unbridled in my Tranquil Cloud Sect. Do you really take my Tranquil Cloud Sect to have nobody?"


    Li Junjie seemed to have been frightened. He said in shock, "Senior Apprentice Brother Gu, turns out that the Tranquil Cloud Sect actually still has a Soul Sea Realm expert. How incredible!"


    Gu Tianyou said indifferently, "What do Soul Sea Realm experts count as? Just a First Level Soul Sea Realm. Our Myriad Sword Sect has a large bunch with one grab. If he dares to make a move against us, the Myriad Sword Sect will come to the Southern Domain to exterminate them right away! Furthermore . . . whether he is Eldest Senior Brother''s match or not, it''s really hard to say!" exclaimed Gu Tianyou.


    As Gu Tianyou said those words, his eyes looked over towards Eldest Senior Brother, Qin Yan.


    Qin Yan did not say a word from beginning to end. But since this Li Junjie was already so strong, their eldest senior brother naturally would not be too weak.


    Qin Yan was only at the Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm. Such strength was simply clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of a Soul Sea Realm expert.


    Stepping into the Soul Sea Realm was truly stepping into the rankings of the middle three Realms. It was completely not what Sea Transformation Realm martial artists could compare to.


    Any random Soul Sea Realm expert that came could freely crush Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm martial artists. Let alone that Luo Qingfeng''s strength was even considerably stronger compared to ordinary Soul Sea Realms.


    But Gu Tianyou said that Luo Qingfeng was not Qin Yan''s match. These words were truly a little too presumptuous.


    Luo Qingfeng''s expression changed, and he said with a cold smile, "Fine. Then today, I''ll have a direct confrontation with this Eldest Senior Brother of yours and take a look at how a Sea Transformation Realm surpasses a Soul Sea Realm!"


    At this time, a figure flashed, blocking in front of Luo Qingfeng.


    Luo Qingfeng was stunned, but saw Ye Yuan turn around. Ye Yuan said to him with a smile, "Is there a need to use a butcher''s knife to kill chickens? We, these disciples, haven''t gone up yet. How can we let Lord Sect Master take the stage personally? Our Tranquil Cloud Sect is also a former Northern Domain''s great sect no matter what. Where is the logic of bullying the weak with the strong? Better for me to square up against the Myriad Sword Sect''s three senior brothers then. It also counts as interacting a little with the present Northern Domain''s great sects."


    "Don''t horse around, Ye Yuan! Quickly come back for me!" Luo Qingfeng actually had a seldom seen reproach of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not have the intention of moving aside.


    He knew that Luo Qingfeng was worried about his safety. But how could he pay attention to three Sea Transformation Realms?


    After Luo Qingfeng returned to the sect, he had not witnessed Ye Yuan''s combat strength yet and simply could not imagine just what kind of realm Ye Yuan already reached right now.


    "Huhu, interesting, really interesting! To think that there''s still such a character in the Tranquil Cloud Sect currently. A First Level Sea Transformation Realm also dares to come out and provoke our eldest senior brother. Really too fascinating! Lord Sect Master, what this Junior Brother here said was, only a disciple versus another disciple can measure a sect''s strength," Li Junjie said with an amused look.

 472 You’re Not His Match

    At this time, Luo Qingfeng no longer held any hopes of fluke in his heart.


    Not only did the Myriad Sword Sect not forget the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it even wanted to find fault through the incident this time.


    Of course, the present Tranquil Cloud Sect was completely not in the Myriad Sword Sect''s sights. Otherwise, they would not just send a couple of disciples over.


    But the might of these three people before their eyes exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    That Li Junjie clearly had the weakest strength among the three people and actually wounded Xiao Jian with one sword. Qin Yan''s strength was really not easy to estimate.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with smilingly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Li is powerful. Younger brother admires it. In a while, you have to pull your punches!"


    "Haha. Rest your heart. I''ll definitely go easy!" Li Junjie said with a big laugh.


    Li Junjie placed all of his attention on Luo Qingfeng earlier and really did not notice Ye Yuan.


    Now, such a young Sea Transformation Realm jumped out abruptly. It really gave him a small shock.


    Such a young Sea Transformation Realm like Ye Yuan, when placed in the Myriad Sword Sect, was an existence like the feather of a phoenix and the horns of a Qilin too. To think that the Tranquil Cloud Sect actually groomed such a prodigious character.


    However . . . this sort of thing like crushing geniuses was too satisfying, feeling as if it was an accomplishment!


    Li Junjie thought about this in his heart sinisterly.


    Hearing the ill-intent in Li Junjie''s words, Luo Qingfeng hurried went forward and grabbed hold of Ye Yuan, saying in a low voice, "Ye Yuan, their strength is not a trivial matter. Most likely, among the Northern Domain''s junior generation, they are considered extremely formidable existences. You''d better not flaunt your superiority. If there''s a mishap . . ."


    But Ye Yuan interrupted Luo Qingfeng''s words with a smile and said, "How can that be? Senior Apprentice Brother Li even said that he will definitely pull his punches just now. Isn''t that so, Senior Apprentice Brother Li?"


    The latter half of the sentence was said to Li Junjie. Li Junjie said with a wide grin, "Of course, of course. Lord Sect Master, please rest assured."


    Luo Qingfeng shot a fierce glare at Li Junjie and said to Ye Yuan in a low voice, "Ye Yuan, you must act within the limits of your ability!"


    Ye Yuan gave a noncommittal smile. He then turned around and said to Li Junjie, "Earlier, I saw that Senior Apprentice Brother Li''s Violet Rain Cool Breeze seems to be very formidable. I learned that move too. I wonder if Senior Apprentice Brother Li can give a pointer or two?"


    In Li Junjie''s eyes, Ye Yuan was like a very silly, very na?ve dumbass.


    Could it be that this boy really thought that he would show mercy and found him to spar moves with?


    But this was also very easy to explain. How could geniuses that has broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm in their teenage years had any experiences? Merely flowers that grew up in a greenhouse.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan wanted to experience the Violet Rain Cool Breeze, Li Junjie was even more delighted in his heart.


    Li Junjie had outstanding talent in the cultivation method of Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Although he had not fully comprehended any true intent at present, he was already not far from this step. That was why he could defeat Xiao Jian with one sword.


    Ye Yuan actually wanted to compete in the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art with him. Ye Yuan was truly overestimating his own strength.


    "Haha! I''ll guide you well!" Li Junjie said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan cracked a smile, and Canghua Sword was displayed!


    At virtually the same instant, Ye Yuan and Li Junjie made a move.


    The same move, the same action; it was identical with the scene earlier.


    With this move, Li Junjie did not hold back. The Violet Rain Cool Breeze was even more powerful compared to the last time.


    His objective was to cripple Ye Yuan!


    Seeing this scene, Luo Qingfeng''s expression changed drastically, "Not good! This Li Junjie was actually still conserving strength!"


    Luo Qingfeng wanted to make a move to stop this fight. However, an exceedingly terrifying aura locked onto him!


    Luo Qingfeng was secretly alarmed. He discovered that Qin Yan had already arrived in front of him since who knew when!


    This young man actually gave him an exceedingly terrifying feeling. He . . . Was he really Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm?


    Compared to Li Junjie''s move, Ye Yuan''s Violet Rain Cool Breeze was freaking weak. It was like a little kid showing some gaudy display.


    "Ye Yuan, be careful!" Luo Qingfeng yelled out.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not seem to hear it at all. He still displayed this Violet Rain Cool Breeze.


    Gu Tianyou watched this scene calm and composedly as if he already saw the result of Ye Yuan this genius being ruined.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan was surely a genius that the Tranquil Cloud Sect expended immeasurable energy to groom.


    Destroying Ye Yuan, it was equivalent to ruining the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s future.


    "Hehe, my guidance is here! You have to receive it well!" Li Junjie said with a delighted smile, stabbing towards Ye Yuan.


    But, at this time, Ye Yuan''s Violet Rain Cool Breeze was already executed completely too, charging towards Li Junjie as well.


    The two moves intersected. Ye Yuan''s move was weak like a tiny tree in a fierce gale, a small boat in the boundless seas.


    Bang!


    The two people''s attacks finally collided together. Yet, Ye Yuan did not perish in one blow as everyone imagined.


    On the contrary, that very instant he collided with Ye Yuan''s attack, Li Junjie seemed to be hit by somebody with a huge hammer, flying out directly.


    Smash!


    Li Junjie just happened to be sent flying to where he sat originally, smashing the chair into smithereens.


    Gu Tianyou and Qin Yan both did not react to it and was actually dazed for some time.


    Of course, the stupefied ones were not just them. There were also Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng and the rest.


    "How is that possible? Junior Apprentice Brother Li''s Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art is already close to the degree of major accomplishment. How could he possibly lost to this brat?" Gu Tianyou said disbelievingly.


    Qin Yan did not speak. But his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became immensely grave.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Li''s Violet Rain Cool Breeze is indeed formidable. Even flying out is actually so cool, letting Ye Yuan benefit a great deal!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in admiration.


    Bang!


    At this time, Li Junjie crawled up swiftly, sending wood chips in front of him flying with a kick. He roared, "Stinking brat! I''ll kill you!"


    Li Junjie already went completely berserk, wanting to kill Ye Yuan at all costs.


    Even in the Myriad Sword Sect, there were also not many who could make Li Junjie so wretched looking. Now, he was actually beaten to this state by a Tranquil Cloud Sect brat who was still wet behind his ears. This was something that he could not accept.


    The Myriad Sword Sect had acquired the full set of Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. Li Junjie had immersed in this path for over twenty years and was also just a step away from comprehending sword intent. How could he possibly lose to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people?


    If he lost to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons, it was still alright. But Ye Yuan was just a Tranquil Cloud Sect''s junior disciple. How could he possibly lose to somebody like this?


    The Myriad Sword Sect was one of the three strongest sects in the Northern Domain. Li Junjie''s strength could also be ranked among the entire Endless World''s junior generation.


    Now, he actually lost to a small sect''s disciple?


    Li Junjie''s figure moved, but there was a blur before his eyes. Qin Yan blocked in front of him.


    "Senior Brother, you move aside! I''m going to kill this punk!" Li Junjie howled.


    But Qin Yan said coolly, "Forget it. You . . . are not his match!"


    When Qin Yan''s words came out, Li Junjie and Gu Tianyou were both dazed.


    Especially Li Junjie. He wondered if he heard wrongly and asked in incredulity, "S-Senior Apprentice Brother, what did you say?"


    Qin Yan turned around and said with a solemn expression, "This boy has already fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. You . . . are not his match!"

 473 Truth Coming to Ligh

    "C-Comprehended fully?"


    Li Junjie seemed to have a tub of cold water splash down; sobering up instantaneously.


    He looked at Qin Yan. The latter was nodding his head and said, "His Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Intent has already reached the state of returning to the origin. You can''t possibly beat him. I really didn''t think that after so many years passed, the Tranquil Cloud Sect actually produced such a character!"


    Finished talking, Qin Yan looked at Ye Yuan with an unkind expression and said, "Punk, ability to disguise as a pig to eat a tiger is pretty good!"


    "Disguising as a pig to eat a tiger? Huhu, is there a need to disguise as a pig to eat the tiger when dealing with you people?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile


    Qin Yan''s face fell slightly. Towards Ye Yuan''s attitude, he was very displeased.


    As the Myriad Sword Sect''s junior generation''s number one person, wherever Qin Yan walked, admiration and flattering voices would resound. Today, he was actually looked down upon by a kid.


    Qin Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Boy, don''t think that you can be cocky by comprehending true intent! You need to know that there is always somebody stronger!"


    "The three of you ran to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to make a big show of your prowess, and then injured my fellow sect members. Now you''re saying that I''m cocky? Your logic simply differs from ordinary people!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "Humph! What a sharp tongue! We are here on the sect''s orders to investigate the Southern Domain''s change. Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. We came here to rescue you all," Qin Yan said nonchalantly.


    Hearing Qin Yan''s words, the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth revealed a ridiculing smile. "Rescue? I think that your Myriad Sword Sect wants to swallow the Tranquil Cloud Sect, or are thinking of making us wag our tails to beg like a dog in front of you people to satisfy your ego a little?"


    Qin Yan was stunned when he heard it. He suddenly grinned and said, "Then so what? Could it be that you all still have other choices?"


    This time, the expression on the faces of Skymaple, Luo Qingfeng, and the rest became odd.


    "You all most likely don''t know it yet, right? The Purple Mansion Sect was already sent packing with a face full of dust previously at our sect, losing three Soul Sea Realm experts in succession. Right now, I reckon that He Mingde is probably still weeping at home, right?" Luo Qingfeng said with a cold smile.


    Luo Qingfeng''s words stunned the trio.


    They had just arrived in the Southern Domain too. The information grasped was still when they had just left the sect. They totally did not know what happened recently in the Southern Domain.


    Now, once they heard the news, it indeed made them feel very surprised.


    But it was merely just surprised. Qin Yan did not feel that Luo Qingfeng could kill martial artists with high cultivation realms.


    "Haha. Killing a couple of First Level Soul Sea Realms made all of you so happy? That Purple Mansion Sect probably saw that your strength was too weak, so they totally didn''t send experts over, right?" Gu Tianyou said with a chortle.


    Luo Qingfeng said with a disdainful look, "First Level Soul Sea Realm? Haha. The Purple Mansion Sect has already attacked the Tranquil Cloud Sect three times. The first time, a First Level Soul Sea Realm died. The second time, two Fourth Level Soul Sea Realms died. The third time, He Mingde came personally, and also returned in failure! Do you all think that we should be happy or not?"


    "Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm? Even two? Do you take us for rookies who don''t know anything? Just the likes of you people can kill two Fourth Level Soul Sea Realms?" Li Junjie said with a ridiculing smile.


    "Ignorant! The Purple Mansion Sect dispatched thousands of martial artists to come and attack the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Is there a need for me to deceive you on this matter? If you don''t believe it, you can try out the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array in person," Luo Qingfeng said with a cold smile.


    Luo Qingfeng was very proud of the sect protecting grand array right now. This kind of grand array that could instantly kill Soul Sea Realm experts was seriously satisfying.


    Beneath the Divine Traversing Realm, it was virtually invincible!


    "Sect protecting grand array? You''re talking about . . . the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array? Didn''t you all lose this set of array formation back then?" Qin Yan said with a frown.


    "No comments about that! Humph! If not for the sake of the entire Endless World''s safety, would we send people to the Northern Domain? So long as we defend the Tranquil Cloud Sect to the death, the Purple Mansion Sect can''t breach inside all their lives!" Luo Qingfeng said.


    "You''re saying that there is really another world trying to invade our Endless World?" Qin Yan said.


    "The Purple Mansion Sect is a chess piece left in the Endless World by the Fierce Gale World. Now that the realm passageway has already opened up, Fierce Gale World martial artists will attack over here very soon! This matter concerns the grand matter of the entire Endless World''s life and death! You people actually still have thoughts of internal conflicts here. Truly don''t know life from death!" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.


    Based on the attitudes of Qin Yan and the others, they completely did not believe that there was this matter of another world invading.


    After all, several thousand years had already passed since the previous great war. Even a sect like the Grand Yan True Sect was already buried in the annals of history.


    The Grand Yan True Sect was also to blame for being overly domineering back then; directly sealing the realm passageway, resulting in the great war between two worlds not clashing on a massive scale.


    The Endless World martial artists did not suffer a pain which cut deep. Their impression of the other world was not so deep as well.


    But Ye Yuan believed that those major powers in the Northern Domain should have heard of this segment of history.


    Except, Mei Zhen most likely did not meet those people when he went over this time.


    A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist might be powerful enough in the Southern Domain. But placed in the Northern Domain, it was nothing.


    "What a pack of nonsense! Why would there be another world invading for no reason? You said that the Purple Mansion Sect were the other world''s survivors. What proof is there?" Qin Yan said.


    Ye Yuan had long known that Qin Yan would have such an inquiry. His hands briefly kneaded a seal. A silhouette suddenly appeared before everyone.


    "Spatial spirit artifact!" Seeing this scene, Qin Yan trio were all startled.


    Spatial spirit artifacts were beloved treasures that everyone would want to get their hands on. Even them, the Northern Domain''s top disciples, did not have in their possessions.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually had a spatial spirit artifact, their gaze involuntarily became scorching.


    Ye Yuan shot a glance and said, "Put away your ideas. Or else, you might not be able to walk out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect! This is the slave that I captured in the Fierce Gale World. His name is Lan Feng. Let him talk to you about the Fierce Gale World''s matters."


    Ye Yuan already had Sea Transformation Realm strength at present. Even when facing Early-Stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists, he had sufficient self-preserving strength too. Hence, he did not mind exhibiting the spatial spirit artifact in front of these people.


    But Ye Yuan''s words astonished the trio tremendously. Qin Yan exclaimed in shock, "You . . . You''ve been to the other world?"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Naturally I''ve been there before. Lan Feng''s divine soul is slightly different from the Endless World martial artists. You guys investigate it slightly and should be able to discover some inklings."


    Qin Yan probed and discovered that Lan Feng''s divine soul was indeed slightly different from the Endless World martial artists!


    This shock was tremendous. In his heart, he already believed Ye Yuan''s words to a certain extent!


    "Lan Feng, you pick out a few important things about the Purple Mansion Sect and the Fierce Gale World''s past for them to hear," Ye Yuan instructed.


    "Yes, Master!" Lan Feng cupped his hands slightly and started talking.


    As time passed, the expressions on Qin Yan and the rest became increasingly grim.


    Turned out that things had already reached such a critical state. They were actually still harboring the mentality of watching the show coming over to the Tranquil Cloud Sect this time.


    After Lan Feng finished talking, Qin Yan trio exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a never-before astonishment.


    "Oh, right, Lan Feng did not say it just now. The Fierce Gale World is a middle-order small world. The wind emperor''s strength is . . . Boundless Realm!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

 474 Staying Behind to Be a Hostage

    The Qin Yan trio seemed to have something stuck in their throats and were not able to speak for a while.


    "B-Boundless Realm? You''re not joking, right?"


    After a long time, Li Junjie finally recovered but was still filled with incredulity.


    "Joking? Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect was ten times stronger than your Myriad Sword Sect. However, the Grand Yan True Sect hesitated at nothing to sacrifice the lives of six sovereign level array masters to deploy the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array! Do you think that they had the need to treat their lives jokingly?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    The present Endless World''s situation was different. Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect reigned supreme, overshadowing all of the sects.


    Although the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master''s status was not on par with Zhao Tianyin''s, it was not far from the latter either.


    Even such strength could not resist the previous generation Wind Emperor. What did the Myriad Sword Sect even count as?


    "Hiss . . ."


    The information that Ye Yuan uttered today, the shock it brought them was too intense.


    Mei Zhen had not spoken more than a few words at the Myriad Sword Sect and was detained. Those people did not take it seriously at all.


    Now, Ye Yuan spoke with definite evidence and even let Lan Feng out. It was not up to them to not believe.


    "Like this, isn''t our Endless World facing imminent danger?" Gu Tianyou muttered.


    "Hur hur, good that you know! But I still have something that I want to ask the three of you. Is my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Elder Mei Zhen detained by your Myriad Sword Sect?" Ye Yuan asked with gleaming eyes.


    One sentence and it dragged the three people back to reality.


    Qin Yan said with a sneer, "So what if yes?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said to Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie, "Good that it''s yes. The two of you can head back already. This whatever Eldest Senior Brother Qin Yan will stay in our Tranquil Cloud Sect to be a hostage then. Whenever you people release Elder Mei back, he can return to the sect."


    The three people were stunned when they heard these words. Wasn''t this punk overestimating his own strength too much?


    "Detaining Eldest Senior Brother? Haha! Really unafraid of the wind spraining your tongue if it blows hard! Do you think that you can keep Eldest Senior Brother with the likes of that First Level Soul Sea Realm Sect Master?" Li Junjie said with a cold laugh.


    "Haha! You all have stayed too long in the Southern Domain and already became frogs in a well, right? Do you know how formidable Eldest Senior Brother''s strength is?" Gu Tianyou seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and grinned from ear to ear.


    Even Qin Yan himself shook his head too and said with a smile, "Overconfident fool!"


    But Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "I already said, disciple versus disciple. How could the likes of you all have the qualifications to let Sect Master take action personally?"


    "You? You aren''t really thinking that by comprehending the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, you would be my match, right?" Qin Yan stood with his hands behind his back, with a face full of contempt.


    So what if Ye Yuan comprehended true intent?


    He likewise comprehended true intent. Furthermore, he was even almost a full major realm higher than Ye Yuan!


    Such a great disparity in strength and this brat was actually thinking of defeating him?


    Ye Yuan flashed a smile and said, "Give it a try then!"


    "Such a wildly arrogant boy! Don''t lose your life by trying!'' Gu Tianyou said with a cold snort.


    But Qin Yan said with a smile, "Interesting. I''ll give you this opportunity!"


    "Haha. It''s still Eldest Senior Brother magnanimity that is big. I''m going to make a move! You receive it well! Nine Swords Return to One, Half-Moon Slash!"


    Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, executing the Nine Swords Stance''s Half-Moon Slash instantaneously!


    Following Ye Yuan''s breakthrough to the Sea Transformation Realm, his Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword became even stronger!


    Regardless whether was it the Nine Swords Stance or the Thousand Flowing Petals, they all expended countless amounts of Ye Yuan''s energy. The greater one''s strength, the greater the might.


    Back then, Ye Yuan used this one move to place the powerful Zhao Chenggan in a wretched plight. No matter how powerful this Qin Yan''s strength was, it could not be stronger than Zhao Chenggan''s either.


    Once Ye Yuan''s move was unleashed, the smile on Qin Yan''s face was instantly replaced with solemnness!


    Not the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!


    When this brat was dealing with Li Junjie earlier, he was actually still holding back!


    "Thousand Sword Nebulous!"


    Qin Yan immediately put away his belittling heart, using an incomparably swift and fierce martial technique right away.


    This Thousand Sword Nebulous move was an extremely powerful martial technique in the Myriad Sword Sect. Coupled with the Myriad Sword Sect''s cultivation method, it was a top-notch sword move when placed in the Endless World too.


    The Sea Transformation Realm Ye Yuan displaying the Half-Moon Slash was much stronger than it was in the Fierce Gale World previously!


    The two attacks collided together instantly. Yet, the Half-Moon Slash breached Qin Yan''s Thousand Sword Nebulous like crushing dried twigs!


    Qin Yan''s face changed, and he immediately unleashed his movement technique and dodged this attack.


    "What?! Elder Senior Brother''s Thousand Sword Nebulous actually lost when dueling swords!" Li Junjie nearly jumped up when he saw this scene.


    "Eldest Senior Brother''s Thousand Sword Nebulous, even the Heavenly Martial Sect''s Guo Taoqun and the Profound Ice Sect''s Yin Yanhua can''t possibly resolve it so effortlessly, right?" An immense shock was seen in Gu Tianyou''s eyes.


    Qin Yan''s expression at present was very nasty. He never could have imagined that Ye Yuan was actually formidable to this sort of degree!


    Just now, if not for the Thousand Sword Nebulous offsetting a portion of the Half-Moon Slash''s power, whether or not he could evade was another matter altogether!


    "Ye Yuan! It''s you who forced me! I still can''t completely control this move with my present realm. Once this move is unleashed, be responsible for your own life and death!" Qin Yan''s voice divulged an ice-cold intent.


    Qin Yan pointed his sword at Ye Yuan. The single sword actually miraculously transformed into countless ones!


    "Myriad Swords Return to Origin! Go to hell!"


    Qin Yan did not have the composure from before anymore. His face even carried some ferociousness at this moment.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan''s Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon similarly finished casting too. The colossal dragon roared as it swept over towards Qin Yan!


    This massive dragon was incomparably powerful, instantly engulfing those sword figures clean!


    But it was not over yet. The massive dragon hastened over towards Qin Yan.


    With a rumble, Qin Yan''s entire person was blasted flying out, collapsing weakly onto the ground.


    "Eldest Senior Brother!" Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie shouted.


    When they saw this scene, they were both greatly taken aback from shock and hurriedly went up to support Qin Yan.


    The pair exchanged a glance, both feeling that it was beyond comprehension.


    The undefeated Eldest Senior Brother in their eyes was actually defeated in the hands of an unknown brat!


    "Relax. He won''t die. I still need him to be a hostage!" Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice came over.


    Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie were both startled in their hearts. Their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again was like they had seen a ghost.


    This youth was seriously too scary!


    "Y-Ye Yuan''s strength is actually formidable to this extent already! Even I''m . . . probably not his match for certain either!" Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple exchanged glances at this time as well. The astonishment in their gazes was not the slightest bit less than the Myriad Sword Sect disciples.


    Skymaple was very relieved. Stroking his beard, he said with a smile, "I''d long foreseen that there would be this day. But I never could have imagined that this day would arrive so quickly! For my Tranquil Cloud Sect to be able to obtain Ye Yuan, it''s truly the heaven showing sympathy!"


    "You all . . . Do you all really want to set yourselves against my Myriad Sword Sect?" Gu Tianyou''s voice carried some quivering.


    The reason why they dared to come was that they felt that they had the strength to preserve themselves.


    But looking at it now, this sort of self-confidence was really a joke!


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You all don''t be mistaken. Elder Mei went to the Northern Domain to deliver news with good intentions but was detained by you people. This is you people forcing me. I don''t wish to cross anybody for no reason."

 475 That Young Man, Isn’t Simple!

    "You! Do you really dare to imprison Eldest Senior Brother for a puny little Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!"


    Li Junjie felt rather incredulous. This Ye Yuan seemed hell-bent on opposing the Myriad Sword Sect.


    This was simply something that could not be explained by reason!


    There was actually somebody who dared to fall out with the Myriad Sword Sect!


    Qin Yan''s significance to the Myriad Sword Sect went without saying. If the Tranquil Cloud Sect dared to touch a hair of Qin Yan''s, an apocalyptic calamity was definitely unavoidable.


    Did this boy eat the wrong medicine?


    Uhh . . . Seemed like he already harmed quite a few hairs.


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "Puny little Sea Transformation Realm? Aren''t you just a Sea Transformation Realm too? Moreover . . . your eldest senior brother might be very important in your eyes, but in my eyes, he isn''t worth a fart! Elder Mei''s life is way more important than his!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s aura pressed on and actually made Li Junjie and Gu Tianyou feel chilly.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, these few fellows clearly looked down on everybody snobbishly.


    Mei Zhen might not be considered much in front of them. But to Ye Yuan, he was a very important senior.


    Ye Yuan experienced hardships before rescuing Mei Zhen from the Fierce Gale World. He could not very well fall in the Myriad Sword Sect.


    "Madman! You''re a madman!" Li Junjie turned to Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng and said, "Could it be that you all want to go crazy together with this boy? If you all dare to detain Eldest Senior Brother today, you have to make the preparations of receiving the wrath of my Myriad Sword Sect! At that time, your Tranquil Cloud Sect will really not have fowls or dogs spared!"


    Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng''s expression both changed. This consequence, they really could not quite bear it!


    Although Mei Zhen was important but compared to the entire sect . . .


    However, Ye Yuan did not give them the opportunity to hesitate. He took a step forward and said with narrowed eyes, "Are you threatening me here?"


    Li Junjie was taken aback by Ye Yuan''s aura and actually took a step back instinctively.


    But he reacted very quickly, and his face involuntarily reddened slightly.


    I . . . What''s with me? I''m actually frightened? I, a dignified Myriad Sword Sect''s disciple, would actually fear this punk? A wave of shame hit in Li Junjie''s heart.


    However, he really had no confidence against Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan could even defeat Qin Yan. Defeating him was simply like lifting a finger.


    "N-No, I . . . didn''t . . . mean that." Li Junjie was even somewhat stammering when talking.


    But Ye Yuan did not care. He took another step forward and said coldly, "Then what did you mean? En?"


    "I was . . ." Li Junjie moved back again but just happened to trip over something, planting his bottom onto the ground.


    "Humph! My Tranquil Cloud Sect sent people to the Northern Domain to notify your three great sects with public interests in mind, to warn you all to guard against the invasion of another world! Yet, you held a grudge and detained Elder Mai! If I don''t keep a hostage today, Elder Mei would surely find it hard to die with peace of mind. The two of you head back today. If Elder Mei receives a trace of injury, I''ll definitely make Qin Yan''s life worse than death!" Ye Yuan said with a cold grunt.


    Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie were forced by Ye Yuan''s aura and actually mumbled and did not dare to rebuke.


    The main hall fell into a dead silence. Nobody dared to make a sound.


    The Gu Tianyou pair stood there, unable to leave nor stay; it was very awkward.


    Meanwhile, Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng and the rest actually felt very liberating in their hearts. During these more than thousand years, they withdrew and stood in the Southern Domain''s land, living very aggrievedly.


    Especially just now, Li Junjie actually used the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art to deal with Xiao Jian, making their dignity suffer tremendous devastation even more so.


    Back then, the Myriad Sword Sect virtually annihilated the Tranquil Cloud Sect. The Tranquil Cloud Sect also greatly damaged their vitality in that battle. That was why they were unable to recover from the setback ever since.


    Truthfully talking about it, the two sect''s enmity could be said to be irreconcilable under the same sky!


    But the problem was that the Myriad Sword Sect was one of the strongest three sects in the entire Endless World. The strength was too great!


    A tiny sect like the Tranquil Cloud Sect simply could not afford to provoke!


    They did not know how Ye Yuan had such tremendous gall to actually dare yank on the Myriad Sword Sect''s whiskers.


    However, through that fight earlier, Luo Qingfeng already had a clear realization that Ye Yuan''s true combat strength was most likely no longer beneath his.


    Furthermore, the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect was saved by Ye Yuan. Whatever Ye Yuan wanted to do now, they were willing to be the backup for Ye Yuan!


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said icily, "Since some friends have arrived, why not show yourselves? If it spreads out, others might think that my Tranquil Cloud Sect doesn''t know how to receive guests."


    The expressions of Luo Qingfeng and the rest changed. Somebody snuck into the main hall, and they were actually completely oblivious!


    A girl dressed in light-blue gauze floated down from the roof, making people feel like the temperature in the entire great hall suddenly fell by a few degrees.


    The girl as cold as frost, but had a beauty that could topple down a nation, and with heavenly fragrance too. Standing there, she gave people a cold and detachment vibe which kept people a thousand miles away. This was an ice mountain beauty in its true sense!


    Seeing this woman, Qin Yan trio''s faces changed!


    "Yin Yanhua!"


    When Ye Yuan saw this girl, he could not help being rather surprised. The Tranquil Cloud Sect had the sect protecting grand array defending. This woman could actually silently sneak into the main hall.


    Yin Yanhua gave Ye Yuan a graceful bow but did not open her mouth to speak.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said in a clear voice, "Is your distinguished self still hoping for a fluke in your heart? Since you came, might as well get together. Wouldn''t it be lively?"


    Luo Qingfeng could not help being secretly alarmed. There was actually still somebody!


    Indeed, when Ye Yuan''s voice faded, a young man dressed in long black robes flashed out from the corner.


    "Guo Taoqun! You all!" When Qin Yan saw these two people, he wished that he could find a hole to crawl into.


    Guo Taoqun took a few more glances at Ye Yuan, but his gaze finally fell on Qin Yan, and said smilingly, "Huhu, the Myriad Sword Sect''s number one disciple actually suffered a crushing defeat in the desolate land of the Southern Domain. I think sending this news back to the Northern Domain will create a considerable stir!"


    But Qin Yan said with a cold smile, ''Guo Taoqun, stop delighting in my misfortune here! If you have the capabilities, you go and size yourself up with that punk!"


    Guo Taoqin froze, his gaze involuntarily turning towards Ye Yuan. He chuckled and said, "Messing around for so long, you were actually defeated in the hands of this boy?"


    Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun had just reached the main hall not long and did not see Ye Yuan and Qin Yan''s confrontation at all.


    Guo Taoqun even thought that it was Luo Qingfeng who beat Qin Yan to heavy injuries and came out just in time to ridicule.


    Right then, the Yin Yanhua who did not talk the entire time had a seldom-seen dialogue, "That young man isn''t simple!"


    Guo Taoqun was stunned once again and finally sized up Ye Yuan properly.


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan could call out Yin Yanhua and himself because there was some array formation inside this main hall.


    Looking at it now, it did not seem to be that simple.


    This youth whose age was not past 16 seemed to be rather extraordinary.


    Qin Yan''s strength, Guo Taoqun was all too familiar. Even when encountering ordinary First Level Soul Sea Realms, he might not be at a disadvantage.


    Guo Taoqun previously even thought that this Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect master was very strong, that was why Qin Yan was defeated. He did not think that it was actually because of this young man in front of him.


    This young man was only at the First Level Sea Transformation realm. Didn''t this mean that . . . he could cross a major realm to defeat his opponent?


    This shock was no trivial matter!

 476 Unexpected Invitation

    "Qin Yan was really injured by you?" Guo Taoqun asked with a blank look.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "So what if yes? So what if not?"


    "Cough, cough. This . . . If yes, I want to say . . . nicely done!" Guo Taoqun suddenly changed his tone.


    Even Ye Yuan did not quite come around hearing his words.


    When Qin Yan heard these words, he was so furious that he felt a sweetness in his throat. His injuries actually flared up again.


    He looked at Guo Taoqun, wishing that he could eat him alive.


    "This Qin Yan, I''ve long been displeased by him. It''s just that sadly, I couldn''t find the chance all along. Now, Little Brother actually accomplished this wish of mine. It really makes me feel even more cordial!" Guo Taoqun said with a broad grin. Everybody was stunned.


    As he spoke, Guo Taoqun actually put his arm around Ye Yuan''s shoulder. That appearance looked like brothers who had been acquainted for many years.


    Ye Yuan was still very vigilant at the start. Later, he discovered that this Guo Taoqun did not have any ill-intent towards him, and so he let him be.


    Guo Taoqun pulled Ye Yuan along and talked a whole bunch. On the whole, they were more or less words which besmirched Qin Yan. Ye Yuan could not tell the truth from false either.


    Qin Yan listened by the side, his entire face was black like the bottom of a wok.


    But he was already fish on the chopping block right now, and simply dare not make any movements.


    This Ye Yuan was a nutcase. He actually dared to provoke the Myriad Sword Sect. If he really offended him hard, there was no guarantee that he would not do anything.


    "Oh, right, I seemed to have heard that you guys want to keep Qin Yan behind to be a hostage?"


    Ye Yuan gave Guo Taoqun a glance and nodded.


    "Haha! Brother, you really have guts! The people that I, Guo Taoqun, admire in this lifetime aren''t many. You''re one of them!"


    Looking at Guo Taoqun''s manner, it rather looked like being admired by him was so laudable.


    Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with him and retorted with a question, "Who the hell are you? Barging into my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s main hall without authorization, I''m afraid that it''s a little inappropriate, right?"


    Guo Taoqun was not embarrassed either. He said proudly, "I''m the Heavenly Martial Sect''s Eldest Disciple, Guo Taoqun. This great beauty is the Profound Ice Sect''s well-renown Ice Cloud Fairy, Yin Yanhua!"


    When Guo Taoqun introduced Yin Yanhua, his eyes were filled with an ingratiating manner. That appearance was even somewhat fawning.


    But Yin Yanhua did not buy it at all. She still had an icy appearance, like she totally did not hear Guo Taoqun''s words at all.


    But hearing Guo Taoqun''s introduction, Ye Yuan came to a realization. As it turned out, the Northern Domain''s three great sect''s head disciples actually all converged in the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    Seemed like Mei Zhen''s trip wasn''t entirely without gains. At least, it made the three great sects send people over to investigate it.


    Ye Yuan took a look at the three people and said with a sigh, "You great sect disciples are really leisurely and carefree. Death is already knocking on the door, and you''re still playing infighting! Looks like the Endless World has been peaceful for too long. Everyone no longer has any gallantness anymore!"


    These words made Guo Taoqun stupefied. He asked curiously, "Little Brother, what''s the meaning of your words? Isn''t it somewhat exaggerating just to raise the alarm?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, the ice-cold Yin Yanhua also revealed a curious look, uncertain of the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words.


    When Ye Yuan saw the duo''s expressions, he knew that Mei Zhen''s first stop was at the Myriad Sword Sect. Moreover, he was even detained, and simply did not have the time to notify the other two sects.


    He shot a fierce glare at Qin Yan and co. and said in a cold voice, "Humph! The Myriad Sword Sect is really a bunch of fellows who are unable to accomplish anything but adept at ruining things!"


    Ever since becoming aware that the Fierce Gale World had a Boundless Realm powerhouse, Qin Yan trio knew just how critical the Endless World''s situation was.


    Being glared at by Ye Yuan at this time, they simply did not dare to retort.


    If because of detaining Mei Zhen resulted in the Endless World''s overall defeat, the Myriad Sword Sect would be the entire Endless World''s sinners.


    Seeing the expression of Qin Yan and the others, Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua became even more suspicious.


    Was it possible that something big really happened in the Southern Domain?


    The Purple Mansion Sect unifying the Southern Domain did not seem to be something serious either, right?


    Right away, Ye Yuan recounted the matter of the Fierce Gale World invading briefly to the two. The two people''s expression both became unbelievably solemn.


    They never would have thought that such a thing would actually happen to the Endless World!


    But in front of the steel-like evidence, it was not up to them to not believe.


    They finally knew now why Ye Yuan scolded the Myriad Sword Sect for being unable to accomplish anything, but good at spoiling things.


    "Little Brother, if the matter is really as you say, then isn''t the Endless World in imminent danger?" At this time, Guo Taoqun''s face no longer had any debauch look. What replaced it was indescribable graveness.


    "It''s not to the extent of on the verge of destruction. Because even if the realm passageway is linked together, it can''t withstand Boundless Realm experts passing through either. If the Wind Emperor wishes to cross the realm passageway, he must have sovereign level array masters reinforcing the realm passageway''s barrier continuously, all the way until it stabilizes fully. At least, in the short run, the Fierce Gale World and the Endless World are still in the situation of being evenly-matched in strength. But if the Endless World is still a pile of loose sand, then this world''s destruction is just a matter of time," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Guo Taoqun revealed a look of realization. The logic that Ye Yuan said was very simple, which was for the Endless World to resist the foreign enemy with a united spirit.


    But Guo Taoqun who resided in the Northern Domain was deeply aware that this was simply something impossible!


    The Northern Domain''s sects stood in great numbers. Apart from the three great sects, there were still many large and small sects of varying sizes.


    These sects'' thoughts were all different. Without a person who could rally hundreds with a single call, there was simply no way of making them put their strength together.


    If each fought their own battles when the time came, the Endless World would really not be far from complete destruction.


    "Hiss . . . Fortunately, our Heavenly Martial Sect and the Profound Ice Sect obtained some information, sending the two of us to follow Qin Yan all the way here. Or else, we would really not know that such an earth-shaking major event actually happened to the Endless World! No can do. This matter is much too important. I have to return to inform Lord Sect Master straight away to make plans early!"


    As he said, Guo Taoqun turned around and wanted to leave. When he passed by Yin Yanhua, Guo Taoqun suddenly switched to a smiling face and asked, "Ice Cloud Fairy, why not . . . we head back together?"


    Yin Yanhua did not even spare him a glance, but took light steps and walked towards Ye Yuan.


    "I wonder what junior brother''s name is?" Yin Yanhua asked.


    "Ye Yuan."


    "So, it''s Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. If it''s in accordance with what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye said, the Northern Domain has no tenable defensive position anymore. The Tranquil Cloud Sect is already a lone island. Doesn''t your Tranquil Cloud Sect have plans to move north?"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised. This Ice Cloud Fairy was evidently someone with a nimble mind. He did not have the need to hide either, and said with a nod, "That''s right. We''re currently planning to move north!"


    Yin Yanhua nodded her head slightly when she heard this. She said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye detained Qin Yan to be a hostage. The Myriad Sword Sect definitely won''t let things go. How about my Profound Ice Sect provide for shelter for you guys. I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s thoughts are?"


    When Yin Yanhua said this, Qin Yan''s expression became even uglier.


    "Fairy Maiden, my Myriad Sword Sect has good relations with the Profound Ice Sect all along. How can you take such an action arbitrarily?!" Qin Yan nearly spewed out another mouthful of old blood.


    At this time, Guo Taoqun smacked his head and interjected too. He slung his arm around Ye Yuan again and said, "Haha! I hit it off with Junior Apprentice Brother Ye on first sight! How about . . . you come to our Heavenly Martial Sect!"


    Hearing these words, Qin Yan''s two eyes finally rolled back, and he fainted.

 477 He’s Called Ye Yuan!

    Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun invited Ye Yuan naturally because they took a fancy on his potential.


    Ye Yuan could defeat Qin Yan, sufficiently showing how great his strength was.


    With Ye Yuan''s age, his accomplishments would surely be boundless in the future. Such a figure naturally had to be roped in early.


    Seeing Guo Taoqun cutting in, Yin Yanhua''s surrounding temperature fell several degrees once more.


    Guo Taoqun''s face changed, and he said obsequiously, "Haha, kidding, just kidding. How can our Heavenly Martial Sect have a place to house such a large sect?"


    Yin Yanhua could not be bothered with Guo Taoqun. She said to Ye Yuan, "I wonder what Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s opinion is like?"


    The few people present were all the distinguished leaders of the Endless World''s junior generation. They were all sharp-minded people.


    Although those few standing by the sides were the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons, the one truly making the decisions was this young man before their eyes.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with Yin Yanhua with a faint smile, "Thank you very much for Ice Cloud Fairy''s good intentions. But about the place to settle down, my Tranquil Cloud Sect already has arrangements."


    A tinge of disappointment flickered across Yin Yanhua''s eyes as she said with a sigh, "Alright then. Since that''s the case, Yanhua will take her leave."


    Finished talking, Yin Yanhua''s figure moved, vanishing before everyone.


    Guo Taoqun yelled out, "Ice Cloud Fairy, wait for me! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, when you go to the Northern Domain, you have to come to my Heavenly Martial Sect to take a look! I''m leaving too!"


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. This Guo Taoqun was really a funny fellow.


    At this time, there were only the Myriad Sword Sect''s three people left in the main hall. Ye Yuan said coolly, "What? Could it be that you all are still planning on staying behind to have a meal?"


    Gu Tianyou looked at Ye Yuan and looked at the unconscious Qin Yan again. For a moment, he was actually at a loss on what to do.


    "Eldest Senior Brother he . . ." Gu Tianyou gave a smile that was even uglier than crying.


    "Do you feel like I''m joking with you all?" Ye Yuan''s tone became cold.


    "N-No."


    "Then not scramming yet?"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan inclining to fly off the handle, Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie went out of the main hall step by step.


    At this time, Luo Qingfeng came in front of Ye Yuan and asked worriedly, "The Myriad Sword Sect is one of the three strongest great sects in the Northern Domain. Just the Divine Traversing Realm experts in their sect numbers quite a few. We captured their eldest disciple. They probably won''t take things lying down, right?"


    Ye Yuan said with a frown, "I''m the one who sent Elder Mei over. I have to rescue him back! Sect Master rest assured; the matter of the realm passageway linking together is also just in these few days. At that time, the Myriad Sword Sect most likely won''t have the energy to come and bother with us, a tiny little Tranquil Cloud Sect."


    Luo Qingfeng had no alternatives. He could only say, "Fine then. It''s up to you to do whatever you want. Grand Elder and I will always be standing behind you to support you!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Many thanks for Grand Elder''s and Sect Master''s understanding. Sect Master, the time left to us isn''t much already. We have to make the best use of our time to move north."


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, beneath the unknown mystic realm''s Eternal Splendor Palace.


    Rumble!


    With an enormous rumble, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array fragmented inch by inch.


    The grand array that guarded the Endless World for several thousand years finally collapsed with a loud bang.


    At the same time, the entire Endless World felt an intense tremor. Everyone all felt like something major was about to happen!


    He Mingde stood respectfully at one side. Five figures took the lead to enter, crossing the realm passageway.


    Seeing these five people, He Mingde bowed all the way down, "Fierce Gale World''s survivor, He Mingde, pay respects to five sovereigns!"


    These five people were shocking all Peak Divine Traversing Realm existences!


    The one at the helm nodded slightly and said, "Arise! You did very well. His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, is very pleased with you. This is the reward that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, entrusted me to give you before setting off."


    This elderly person was actually the Shangguan Family Head who observed Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan''s battle from a corner of the plaza back then, Shangguan Wenrui!


    He Mingde was overjoyed seeing the situation and said, "Many thanks for His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s, bestowal. Although we have lied low in the Endless World for thousands of years, we dare not forget the great duty that His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, tasked us to do even for a moment! Having gone through thousands of years, it finally let us find a way to crack the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!"


    Shangguan Wenrui nodded and suddenly asked, "The Endless World''s Southern Domain is very important to us. It should have culminated under your Purple Mansion Sect, right?"


    But He Mingde''s expression changed as he said, "Sovereign Shangguan, forgive my mistake. Originally, the Southern Domain was already in the bag. But a remarkably monstrous youth came from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He actually raised the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array to Quasi-Tier 5 level. We . . ."


    The air instantly chilled. Shangguan Wenrui was clearly very displeased by this news.


    He Mingde stood by the side and did not dare to even exhale loudly.


    This one before his eyes was a Peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse. Huffing a breath could doom him eternally.


    That boy called Ye Yuan really screwed him over badly!


    "You, an exalted Seventh Level Soul Sea Realm martial artist, is actually powerless against a youngster? His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, placed such high hopes on you; is this how you repay him?" Shangguan Wenrui said coldly.


    He Mingde sweat profusely and hurriedly explain, "Sovereign Shangguan, calm your anger. That . . . That young man is indeed too monstrous. Furthermore . . . Furthermore, I heard that he escaped back to the Endless World from the Fierce Gale World!"


    Shangguan Wenrui''s expression changed, and he immediately thought of Ye Yuan.


    This Endless World youth entered deep into the Fierce Gale World by himself, throwing the Fierce Gale World into an upheaval, and even retreated in one piece!


    Speaking of which, it was really inconceivable.


    After Zhao Tianyun appeared in the plaza on that day, in order to avoid arousing suspicions, Shangguan Wenrui and Xue Hongfei left directly and did not see what happened later.


    Shangguan Wenrui looked into it afterward as well. But those who stayed at the plaza afterward were practically all dead.


    Only Ding Liang and Star Abyss''s group of people were alive. But all of them did not dare to breathe a word to another soul about what happened on that day.


    But Shangguan Wenrui speculated that some earth-shaking major thing must have happened for Ye Yuan to be able to escape from Zhao Tianyin''s hands.


    Otherwise, how could a Crystal Formation Realm brat possibly escape from the hands of the Boundless Realm Wind Emperor?


    Shangguan Wenrui''s complexion was slightly better, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Oh? There''s still such a monstrous youth? What''s his name called?"


    He Mingde said quaking in fear, "He . . . He''s called Ye Yuan!"


    Indeed!


    Even though he guessed it long ago, Shangguan Wenrui still felt unbelievably shocked.


    This boy called Ye Yuan was covered in secrets all over.


    Looks like not just his personal strength was incomparably formidable, he had startling talent in the path of formations too!


    He Mingde sneaked a glance at Shangguan Wenrui''s face. After seeing that he did not show an enraged expression, He Mingde gathered his courage and said, "On that day, I personally escorted the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s hostages, wanting to force this punk out of the grand array. Who knew that he actually set up an extremely powerful illusionary array outside the gates, and he rescued the people away instead! Furthermore, I heard him saying that his array formation . . . actually came from the Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance! He even said . . . even said . . ."


    Shangguan Wenrui narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak!"


    "He even said . . . If the Grand Yan True Sect''s Sect Master had grasped that set of illusionary formation back then, even if His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, came personally, he would return with failure too!" He Mingde mopped the cold sweat on his forehead.

 478 Cicada Casting off Its Shell

    How could He Mingde know how great a wave Ye Yuan stirred up in the Fierce Gale World?


    He was still desperately absolving his charges, hoping to gain Shangguan Wenrui''s understanding.


    In truth, Shangguan Wenrui did not blame him long ago.


    But Shangguan Wenrui did not tell He Mingde either. The matter of Ye Yuan causing mayhem in the Central Capital was not very glorious after all.


    Shangguan Wenrui did not speak, seemingly contemplating something.


    After a long time, he finally said slowly, "You said that . . . that Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array is a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array?"


    He Mingde hurriedly said "Yes! Subordinate also doesn''t know how he, a Sea Transformation Realm brat, can deploy a Quasi-Tier 5 grand array. But we really suffered considerably on this grand array."


    Shangguan Wenrui nodded slightly and was not very surprised by Ye Yuan''s monstrousness.


    "This period of time, have you been sending people to watch the Tranquil Cloud Sect all along? Don''t let them escape!" Shangguan Wenrui said.


    "Sovereign Shangguan, rest assured. Subordinate arranged countless informants around the vicinity of the Tranquil Cloud Sect. If there''s any bit of rustle of leaves in the wind, they will report promptly!" He Mingde hurriedly said.


    Shangguan Wenrui said, "Since that''s the case, send a Divine Traversing Realm expert over, and you can crack this grand array."


    As he said, Shangguan Wenrui turned around and said to a First Level Divine Traversing martial artist, "Yunrong, you make a trip with Sect Master He! If there''s a possibility, bring that boy back for me to see if he really has three heads and six arms!"


    That Yunrong bowed and said, "Yes, Family Head."


    He Mingde was overjoyed when he saw the situation. He had suffered a huge loss in Ye Yuan''s hands. Now that there was a Divine Traversing Realm expert backing him up, what was he still afraid of?


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates, Shangguan Yunrong stood in the air.


    Behind him stood He Mingde.


    "It''s this grand array that you all couldn''t crack even by mustering up the entire sect''s strength?" Shangguan Yunrong said coolly.


    He Mingde sweated heavily and said, "Yes. Subordinate is incompetent! Ye Yuan that boy is incredibly sinister. He really isn''t easy to deal with!"


    Shangguan Yunrong nodded slightly but did not say anything.


    Ye Yuan''s great name, he had naturally heard of it before as well. Ever since the great battle between Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan, Shangguan Lingyun seemed to have suffered a tremendous shock, cultivating day and night continuously.


    As Shangguan Lingyun''s senior, Shangguan Yunrong naturally took it all into his eyes.


    This battle, Shangguan Lingyun took the initiative to request for it and was already on the way here.


    Presumably, hearing Ye Yuan this name once more, Shangguan Lingyun would be very excited.


    But he heard that Ye Yuan already broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. This made Shangguan Yunrong rather surprised.


    Ye Yuan had immensely powerful combat strength at the Crystal Formation Realm. Now that he broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, even if Shangguan Lingyun bumped into Ye Yuan, he was most likely not his match either!


    With such an unsurpassable opponent, it was truly terrifying!


    Hence, the best method was to . . . destroy this opponent!


    Shangguan Yunrong extended his hand and gestured. Horrifying essence energy instantly concentrated on his palm.


    When He Mingde behind him saw this scene, his pupils could not help constricting.


    This was the power of a Divine Traversing Realm expert. Clearly it was not targeting him, yet it made his heart palpitate.


    "Go!"


    Shangguan Yunrong lightly spat out a word from his mouth. His attack instantly landed on the Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array.


    It was only to hear a loud bang. The grand array actually gave off a series of cracking sounds.


    Shangguan Yunrong had a calm and collected look the entire time. However, at this time, his face slightly revealed astonishment.


    "Quasi-Tier 5 grand array is it . . . Indeed! Quite capable!"


    This attack of his looked played down, but how could a Divine Traversing Realm expert''s attack be simple?


    This attack virtually employed 70% of Shangguan Yunrong''s powers and it actually did not breach the grand array in one blow. It could be seen how great this grand array''s power was!


    Rumble!


    Shangguan Yunrong attacked again. This time, the grand array collapsed with a loud bang!


    When those Purple Mansion Sect disciples saw this scene, each and every one of them was flushed red with excitement.


    They had already waited far too long for this day!


    When the grand array broke, those Purple Mansion Sect disciples were like pumped with blood, rushing over towards Spirit Blessing Mountain.


    He Mingde who was standing behind Shangguan Yunrong was similarly very eager. This time, he would definitely flay the skin and tear out the tendons of Ye Yuan that punk, could he dispel the hatred in his heart!


    Shangguan Yunrong did not move. He was only responsible for breaking the formation. He naturally would not lower his dignity and charge ahead.


    Roughly an hour later, a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse flew before the two people; his expression was very ugly.


    When He Mingde saw this scene, his heart involuntarily thumped. Could it be that something unforeseen happened again?


    "Lord Yunrong, Sect Master, inside the Tranquil Cloud Sect is void of people. All of the records and medicinal pills are all gone! We already turned the Spirit Blessing Mountain inside out and didn''t even see a ghost!"


    "What?! How is that possible?" He Mingde became agitated and nearly fell down.


    That Soul Sea Realm''s expression was ugly as he said, "We already sent people to search all of the mountain peaks over. There are indeed not a soul inside!"


    "This . . . This . . . Lord Yunrong . . . I clearly arranged countless informants. Why didn''t a single one of them see people leaving the Tranquil Cloud Sect?" He Mingde was shocked beyond words.


    Could this group of people fly to the skies and tunnel underground?


    Shangguan Yunrong did not look too surprised. When he heard this, he gave a chuckle instead and said, "Sect Master He asked me, but who do I ask? Alright, since this Tranquil Cloud Sect is already uninhabited, then let''s head back home."


    As he said, Shangguan Yunrong directly turned around and flew away, leaving behind the He Mingde who had yet to recover.


    Regarding this result, although Shangguan Yunrong was surprised, he felt that it was within reason too.


    To be able to throw the Central Capital into upheaval and even startle the Wind Emperor, and he could even swagger back to the Endless World.


    How could such a character be captured so easily?


    . . . . . .


    At this time, in Breaking Dawn City tens of thousands of miles away from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, several young martial artists dressed in plain clothing slowly entered the city.


    Breaking Dawn City was a frontier town in the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations'' State of Yan, contiguous to the Endless Forest. Since ancient times, it was the gathering place for countless martial artists.


    "Heh heh, once I think about those Purple Mansion Sect fellows'' faces, I get incredibly excited!" said a young martial artist excitedly.


    "Haha! This cicada casting off its shell of Junior Apprentice Brother Ye was indeed executed beautifully! Those Fierce Gale World fellows expended such a great price to charge into the Tranquil Cloud Sect. In the end, they didn''t even get to gain a single hair. There''s probably no need to mention how gloomy they are," said another young martial artist.


    "Those Fierce Gale World trash probably never even dreamed that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye could actually construct a miniature transmission array! Although it''s only a short hundred-mile distance, but to dodge those informers, it''s more than sufficient! Those whistle-blowers'' eyes were polished until they shone, but they didn''t know that we left the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago!


    These few people were shockingly Ye Yuan and company who escaped from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    This group of people included Tian Yu, Mo Yuntian, Ti Wujiu, and the rest. Except, the outfits on them were very plain. People would mistaken them to be ordinary demonic beast hunters.

 479 A Hundred Pieces Means A Hundred!

    Although the realm passageway did not link up, large numbers of low-level martial artists had already flooded in from the Fierce Gale World.


    The Purple Mansion Sect already controlled virtually all of the secular world nations in the Southern Domain through these low-level martial artists.


    After the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples escaped out of the Tranquil Cloud Sect through the miniature transmission array, under Ye Yuan''s arrangements, they organized themselves into multiple groups. They disguised themselves as the bottommost level ordinary martial artists and scattered around, rushing to some frontier cities.


    And Ye Yuan''s batch of people was the final batch.


    The transmission arrays connecting to and fro the Southern Domain and the Northern Domain were mostly built in these border cities.


    Of course, these transmission arrays were already controlled by the Purple Mansion Sect now without exception.


    What the Tranquil Cloud Sect could defend was just the sect gates. The mortal world kingdoms, they already had no strength to attend to.


    After the realm passageway linked up, large numbers of low-level martial artists flooded in. This kind of a strategic point, it was naturally impossible for the Purple Mansion Sect to let it go. Even the out-of-the-way Breaking Dawn City was no exception.


    Basically, these cities all had Sea Transformation Realm experts holding the fort now, controlling the transmission arrays tightly.


    Right now, these frontier cities'' characteristics were all the same: easy to enter, hard to leave. Those who came in from the Northern Domain through the transmission array were totally ignored. But them wanting to return was extremely difficult.


    Every frontier town had high-level Sea Transformation Realms holding the fort. Ordinary people simply could not cross!


    If not because Soul Sea Realm martial artists were too rare, the Purple Mansion Sect would even send Soul Sea Realm martial artists to hold down the fort in these frontier towns.


    However, high-level Sea Transformation Realms were already immensely powerful existences in the Southern Domain. Apart from those big sects'' upper echelons, ordinary martial artists that could beat them were in the minority.


    Even one of the Eight Great Sects like the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had extremely few people who could forcefully carve out a path too. Moreover, they could not guarantee that the high-level Sea Transformation Realms would not destroy the transmission arrays.


    It was also this cicada shedding its shell move by Ye Yuan which surprised the Purple Mansion Sect greatly. These border towns'' garrison had yet to come around to it. Or else, them wanting to break through these obstacles would be extremely arduous.


    During these few days'' time, the Tranquil Cloud Sect had already split into a number of batches and sneaked into these border towns, as well as scheduling to take action today together to forcefully break through!


    Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng, these two people, were Soul Sea Realm martial artists. Dealing with Sea Transformation Realms was naturally a cinch.


    Breaking Dawn City had Ye Yuan holding the fort here. Dealing with a late-stage Sea Transformation Realm was naturally not a big issue as well.


    "Many people think that setting up transmission arrays is a colossal project. Actually, setting up a miniature transmission array that can only accommodate three to five people passing through, furthermore, just transmitting a hundred miles away, isn''t something difficult. But the usage of this sort of transmission arrays is very limited. Martial artists who move fast can reach before two hours. Hence, the uses of this kind of transmission array are exceptionally few and remarkably easy to overlook. This is also considered a shadow under the light, I guess," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "Hehe, what a fine shadow under the light! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, not only is your strength outstanding, this boldness and breadth of spirit are even a cut above others! If there weren''t you around, even if we had guarded the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it would still be hard to escape death in the end!" Tian Yu said.


    "Yeah! If not for this strategy of a cicada shedding its shell, the Purple Mansion Sect would definitely react right away, informing the frontier towns to intercept us. Once they wreck the transmission array, it will also be hard to fly even with wings!" Mo Yuntian said.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and changed the topic. He said, "We''d best go to the transmission array area to take a look first. We arranged to make a move tonight with sect master they all. Figuring out the transmission array''s surrounding situation first is better."


    Everyone nodded in agreement and headed in the direction of the transmission array together.


    Although Breaking Dawn City was remote, heaven was high in this place, and the emperor far away. The State of Yan''s control over here was very weak instead.


    Due to there being many demonic beast hunters going in and out of the Endless Forest here, the Breaking Dawn City was very prosperous.


    It was precisely under such a situation that the Breaking Dawn City''s martial artists'' strength was quite formidable. Everywhere on the streets, Crystal Formation Realm martial artists could be seen. There were even a small number of early-stage Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    Hence, Ye Yuan and these people wandering around in the city would not draw many people''s eyes.


    There were marketplaces everywhere here. Martial artists set up stalls spontaneously on the streets.


    Ye Yuan and the others passed through two streets. Ye Yuan suddenly stopped his footsteps in front of a stall.


    The stall owner was a Crystal Formation Realm old man, looking rather plain with nothing attractive.


    "Old man, how is this herbal grass of yours sold?" Ye Yuan pointed to a stalk of grass on the stall and enquired.


    That old man was currently bored to death. Seeing that somebody came over to buy stuff, he shot a glance at Ye Yuan faintly and said, "50 pieces of middle-grade essence crystals. I don''t take low-grade essence crystals!"


    "What? A stalk of Quasi-Tier 4 herb, you''re selling for 50 middle-grade essence crystals? Why don''t you go and rob people?" Tian Yu nearly jumped up hearing that.


    That old man was disinclined to even spare Tian Yu a glance as he said indifferently, "Up to you to buy or not! Get lost if you''re not buying! Don''t interfere with this old man''s sleep!"


    But Ye Yuan casually retrieved 50 middle-grade essence crystals and said, "This is 50 middle-grade essence crystals. Your elderly self can do the counting."


    When that old man saw Ye Yuan fish out fifty middle-grade essence crystals without even blinking, his eyes involuntarily glinted, and he immediately perked up.


    There were quite a few stall owners who saw this scene and could not help commenting respectively.


    "Truly, fools are wealthy. This herb''s origins are unknown, and nobody can name it at all; let alone anybody who knows its usage. This boy isn''t buying it back to feed pigs, right?"


    "Hehe, Qi Hai this old fellow already asked all the high-rank alchemists in the city. Nobody can recognize this herb at all. This boy is still so young. Don''t tell me that he recognizes this herb''s use!"


    "Might be some wealthy family''s disciple from somewhere with too much money to burn! This kind of dummies, I''ve seen plenty!"


    "You looked at the badge on his chest. Still just an Alchemy Master. Wonder what is he buying this Quasi-Tier 4 herbal grass back for. These days, there are really all kinds of idiots!"


    The name of the herb couldn''t even be called out. Naturally, there was no one who knew what kind of medicinal pill it could be used to refine.


    Furthermore, this herb only had one stalk. Even if somebody wanted to use to experiment, it was not possible to experiment out anything either.


    This old fellow called Qi Hai already put up a stall here for a month. But this herb could not sell at all.


    A stalk of herbal grass that simply had no usage, no matter how cheaply he sold it, it was not possible to spend this wrongful money too.


    Earlier, seeing Ye Yuan enquire about this stalk of herbal grass, Qi Hai anyhow gave a price; 50 middle-grade essence crystals. It could already almost purchase a stalk of Tier 4 medicinal herb!


    He totally did not think that Ye Yuan would buy. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not even furrow his brows, pulling out 50 middle-grade essence crystals instead!


    Qi Hai sat up and could not help sizing up Ye Yuan. A while later, this old man suddenly gave a smile and said, "I was muddled with sleep just now. This stalk of herbal grass should be 100 middle-grade essence crystals!"


    When these words came out, those fellow apprentices around Ye Yuan were immediately filled with killing intent.


    This old man was completely setting price on the spot. How was this doing business?


    This was simply robbing money!


    In just a short while, the price doubled!


    Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Done! A hundred pieces mean a hundred!"

 480 250

    This unknown Tier 4 herbal grass was called Dodder Green Grass.


    This kind of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb was naturally not some rare object. But it was a rare thing in the Endless World.


    In some medicinal theory records including the Herbal Compendium, there were simply no records regarding the Dodder Green Grass. Those so-called high-rank alchemists not recognizing it was also normal.


    The reason why Ye Yuan took a fancy on this Dodder Green Grass was that this was one of the core ingredients for a Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, the Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill.


    This Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill was precisely the upgraded version of the Soul Luring Pill. It was used to break through to the Soul Sea Realm.


    Except, this Purple Heart Soul Luring Pill''s medicinal effects was on an entirely different level from the Soul Luring Pill.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not just use the garbage Soul Luring Pill for his own breakthrough. Encountering the Dodder Green Grass was just perfect at this time; he obviously had to put it in his bag.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan more or less knew some things about the Endless World''s alchemy world. The value of this Dodder Green Grass was absolutely worth a hundred middle-grade essence crystals.


    This thing was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to ordinary Tier 4 medicinal herbs.


    Furthermore, due to this Dodder Green Grass being exceptionally scarce in the Endless World, an object was valued in proportion to its rarity. Ye Yuan did not feel that this price was too ridiculous.


    It was just that the way others saw it, Ye Yuan naturally became a sucker who was foolish but wealthy.


    When Qi Hai saw the hundred middle-grade essence crystals, his eyes immediately lit up, and his entire person became alert, becoming like a different person from that previously lethargic appearance.


    One had to know that 100 middle-grade essence crystals was roughly equivalent to the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb already.


    Yet, how could Tier 4 medicinal herbs be so easy to acquire?


    A Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb selling at the price of a Tier 4 medicinal herb. Where should one go to find this kind of bargain?


    "Heh heh. Young man, I see that you have such cultivation at a young age. Definitely a prodigious talent with discerning eyes like burning torches! This herbal grass of mine was snatched from the mouth of a Tier 4 demonic beast. I nearly died in its belly. Fortunately, this old man, I, ran fast. So 100 middle-grade essence crystals really isn''t considered expensive!" Qi Hai said in all smiles.


    But when everyone saw Qi Hai''s manner, they had a contemptuous look.


    This fellow was only Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. How could he possibly snatch such a herbal grass from the hands of a Tier 4 demonic beast?


    Even a fool also knew that this was bluffing that youngster!


    However . . . Wasn''t that young man a fool?


    Indeed, Ye Yuan actually nodded his head and said, "Huhu, elderly person, I believe you."


    A series of snickers sounded all around. But Ye Yuan thought otherwise in his heart.


    But towards these ignorant people, he obviously would not go and explain anything either.


    Ye Yuan knew that the Dodder Green Grass indeed had a kind of companion beast whose strength was comparable to middle-stage Sea Transformation human martial artists.


    This old man Qi Hai being able to return alive was already very fortunate.


    People become shrewd as they get older. Even though this old man only had Crystal Formation Realm strength, he might have some special life-preserving means.


    Therefore, 100 middle-grade essence crystals was indeed not considered expensive!


    "Since that''s the case, then let''s close the deal?" Qi Hai was afraid that Ye Yuan would renege and hastily said.


    "Haha. Done!"


    The two people concluded it. Ye Yuan was just about to collect that Dodder Green Grass when all of a sudden, a discordant voice sound out.


    "This medicinal herb, I want it! 150 middle-grade essence crystals!"


    A young man suddenly cut in rudely and directly raised fifty middle-grade essence crystals.


    Seeing this young man, the other stall owners all sensibly shut their mouths, feeling like he was like a plague.


    But Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed when he saw the situation. This punk was clearly making things difficult for him.


    "Elderly person, I offer 200!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Competing in essence crystals, Ye Yuan really did not fear anyone.


    Previously in the unknown mystic realm, Ye Yuan extorted a large sum of essence crystals from the Heavenly Sky Sect.


    Later on in the Fierce Gale World, the Xiao Family also gifted a large sum of essence crystals in order to thank Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan basically did not touch them.


    This punk was competing in wealth with him?


    He was going to freaking regret it!


    "250!" the youth spoke again.


    At this, the people watching the show by the side could not hold back and unwittingly burst into laughter abruptly.


    Ye Yuan was thrilled when he heard that. Was this punk a joker here to amuse everyone?


    Seeing everyone snickering, the youth failed to react to it for some time. A Fourth Level Sea Transformation guard behind him hurriedly moved closer and whispered a few words beside his ear.


    The youth came to realize the truth abruptly, and he could not help flushing with shame.


    He shot a vicious glare at the surroundings and said angrily, "Laughing at what? Do you believe I''ll smash all of your stalls if you keep laughing? Make my father take in your stalls and make you all unable to have a foothold in Breaking Dawn City?"


    Those stall owners seemed to really submit to this and immediately put away their smiles.


    That youth smiled proudly seeing the situation and shot Ye Yuan a glance like he was demonstrating his power.


    Ye Yuan guessed that this young man''s identity was special too. But he himself was born a silkpants. Could it be that he was still afraid of a silkpants loafing around?


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Elderly person, we can''t afford to offer 250. We''ll offer 300. Haha."


    "I offer 500! This medicinal herb is rich in essence energy. I think it''s pretty good. Going back and eating it should increase a fair amount of essence energy!" said the young man said haughtily.


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This punk actually wanted to eat the Dodder Green Grass raw! Truly a wanton waste of God''s good gifts!


    The majority of medicinal herb could actually be eaten raw. But extremely few people would do that. Because it was just too wasteful!


    Furthermore, according to the attribute differences in essence energy that martial artists cultivate, some medicinal herbs could even clash with the cultivation method trained in, getting half the results with twice the effort, and even affecting cultivation.


    This punk was full of shit. He was purely finding trouble!


    Ye Yuan obviously did not know that this youth just liked to find things to do when he was idle.


    Speaking of which, it was slightly similar to Ye Yuan''s predecessor.


    This young man was called Jin Peng, and he was the Breaking Dawn City''s City Lord''s , Jin Feng''s, son.


    This Breaking Dawn City''s City Lord was at the Seventh Level Sea Transformation cultivation. This was already rather impressive in a mortal world''s country. It was even more powerful than some great sects'' elders.


    In truth, although this Breaking Dawn City belong to the State of Yan in name, actually, it was simply a country within a country. Jin Feng always listened to orders but did not serve.


    If there wasn''t the Tranquil Cloud Sect this leviathan pressuring here, this Jin Feng even had the possibility of crowning himself as king.


    This Jin Peng relied on his old man''s power and frequently engaged in lawlessness, harming martial artists.


    In the course of time, he became notorious.


    And his old man, Jin Feng, also indeed had a card to play, These martial artists who set up stalls had to go through the City Lord Manor''s consent and get a piece of plaque before they were permitted to operate.


    This plaque was very low quality. Moreover, the effective period was only a month. But it needed to collect fees of 50 low-grade essence crystals to 50 middle-grade essence crystals according to the differences in the stall owner''s realm.


    How could the martial artists that come here to set up stalls number less than 100 thousand?


    Just the costs of purchasing the plaque was a rather terrifying figure!


    But Jin Feng''s strength was extremely formidable. These stall owners could only endure the fate of being exploited.


    Hearing this Jin Peng''s offer, Ye Yuan''s brows unwittingly furrowed.


    This punk increased the price without even thinking about it. He was intentionally causing trouble.


    Doing it this way, regardless of how much he called out, he would probably keep on increasing too.


    Could it be that . . . he had to resort to force?


    "Young Master Jin, this medicinal herb, I''ve already sold it to him. No matter how high the price you offer, I won''t sell it either!"


    What everyone did not expect was that Qi Hai this old fellow actually opened his mouth to speak at this time.

 481 Ancestor of Silkpants

    "What? Old man, you say it one more time!"


    Jin Peng even thought that he heard wrongly. In this Breaking Dawn City, there were actually still people who dared to not sell things to him?


    Qi Hai said with a faint smile, "Young Master Jin, really sorry about it. Before you came just now, I''ve already agreed upon a price with this little brother. According to the rules, the transaction between us is already considered complete. It isn''t nice to renege. If the rules are broken, this old man, I, won''t have the face to keep a foothold in this line in the future."


    Hearing Qi Hai''s words, even Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    This old man''s performance before this was enough to leave people an impression that he only sought profits.


    But the two of them already raised the price to 500 middle-grade essence crystals right now, and this old man still wanted to sell to him instead?


    Jin Peng''s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze when looking at Qi Hai revealed killing intent.


    "You''re afraid that you won''t have the face to keep a foothold? Do you believe that I will take away your plaque right now and make you have no way of having a foothold here?" Jin Peng gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    But Qi Hai had an indifferent look as he said, "Hehe, this place doesn''t want to keep this Lord; there will naturally be a place that will. Although I, Qi Hai, love essence crystals, I cherish my feathers more."


    As he spoke, Qi Hai ignored the sullen Jin Peng, turned to Ye Yuan and said, "This Little Brother, these essence crystals, I''ll accept them. You take the medicinal herb."


    But Ye Yuan''s impression of this old man was overhauled, and he said with a smile, "Alright. This herbal grass, I''ll keep it. As for the price . . . I''ll give you 500 middle-grade essence crystals as it is appropriate."


    Qi Hai waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. Since we''ve already settled on the price, then it''s a done deal. This old man, I, won''t take an additional piece of essence crystal! A hundred means a hundred!"


    Ye Yuan did not think that this old fellow was actually a person with such principles. He actually really just took 100 middle-grade essence crystals.


    Since the old man himself insisted on it, Ye Yuan could not very well force the other party to take extra.


    But Ye Yuan knew that Qi Hai had already thoroughly offended this silkpants. This silkpants probably would not let Qi Hai walk out of Breaking Dawn City alive.


    Ye Yuan was such a person. Others gave him an inch of respect, he would return them a foot.


    He already made the decision to ensure this old man''s safety.


    Qi Hai, this Crystal Formation Realm powerhouse, was still a little weak in the Breaking Dawn City.


    Yet, when Jin Peng saw that these two people completely paid him no heed and directly completed the transaction, he had long flown into a great rage.


    He smiled coldly at this time and said, "Good! Excellent! In this Breaking Dawn City, this is actually my first time encountering such ballsy people! Yu Qing, take this old man down for me! I want to see if he''s really so principled!"


    Yu Qing was naturally the Fourth Level Sea Transformation guard behind him.


    This was Jin Peng''s gold medal hired thug. Following Jin Peng, he naturally committed substantial crimes.


    Of course, he obtained considerable benefits too, acquiring quite a bit of cultivation resources. That was how he broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation.


    Yu Qing''s strength was enough to place in the top ten when looking at the entire Breaking Dawn City as well.


    Among the people present, there was only him, one middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm. Who would Jin Peng fear?


    Yu Qing was just about to make a move when Ye Yuan took a light step, blocking perfectly between Yu Qing and Qi Hai.


    "This old man, I''m protecting him!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    A hint of sneer flashed across the corner of Jin Peng''s mouth as he said, "Take care both of them!"


    "Yes!" Yu Qing was likewise itching for a fight.


    He had already gradually become fond of this feeling of abusing people. Following Jin Peng, he could do as he pleased in this Breaking Dawn City!


    "Sigh . . . This boy is foolish and rich. To think that he''s still quite loyal to friends. It''s just that he''s kind of dumb. What a pity . . ."


    "This Jin Peng is a little overlord. Who in the Breaking Dawn City dares to provoke him? Beat the young one, and the old one will come. This is the scariest part!"


    "Where is there a need for the old one to come out? This checkpoint right in front might not be passable! I reckon that this boy cracked himself up to have some strength and thinks that he can cross boundaries to battle. But the person he''s facing is someone at the middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm!"


    "This boy definitely comes from a silkpants background too. The experts in the family all humored him, that''s why he thinks that he''s impressive. In truth, they are all completely flowers grown in a greenhouse; snapping once they come out."


    Seeing that the scene was gradually losing control a little, many stall owners started discussing.


    Evidently, nobody was optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    In their eyes, Ye Yuan and Jin Peng should be around the same; both were with a silkpants background.


    It was just that . . . Jin Peng brought along a middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm! Was Ye Yuan dumb?


    Of course, they guessed the opening but could not guess the ending.


    Ye Yuan indeed came from a silkpants background, but he, this silkpants, was a heaven-defying silkpants.


    Yu Qing snickered, the strength of middle-stage Sea Transformation Realm erupted entirely. A punch smashed towards Ye Yuan''s face.


    This kind of direct abusing was even more satisfying for people!


    Ye Yuan''s seniors and juniors watched this scene calmly all the way. The instant Yu Qing punched out, Tian Yu curled his mouth disdainfully and spat out a word from his mouth, "Dumb*ss!"


    A Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm dared to posture in front of Ye Yuan. It was purely the action of courting doom!


    Ye Yuan did not move all along. He just quietly watched Yu Qing, watching him display that garish punch.


    Just as that violent storm-like punch was about to smash onto Ye Yuan''s face, Ye Yuan lightly extended a finger.


    Yu Qing did not think that a First Level Sea Transformation dared to be so overbearingly haughty in front of him. In his mind, this Ye Yuan was truly courting death to the extreme.


    "Go and die!" Yu Qing said with a hideous grin.


    One punch and one finger would bump together just like this. This sight in everybody''s imagination did not appear.


    Yu Qing''s violent aura instantly vanished into nothing the moment it came into contact with Ye Yuan''s finger.


    The expression on Yu Qing''s face froze there, not daring to believe everything happening before his eyes.


    "Ah!


    Yu Qing suddenly gave a miserably cry, his entire person crumbling softly onto the ground.


    Everyone stared fixedly and saw that Yu Qing''s chest was already covered in fresh blood.


    "This . . . What kind of situation is this? A finger crippled a Fourth Level Sea Transformation?"


    "My eyes aren''t blurry, right? That boy, is he really First Level Sea Transformation?"


    "So . . . So strong!"


    "I''ve seen that Yu Qing attack before. He''s very strong! He was actually defeated by that boy''s one finger?"


    Many people all felt that their eyes were blurry. Ye Yuan''s body clearly did not undulate any aura. He just used his finger to lightly poke Yu Qing''s fist, and Yu Qing ended up like this?


    This was a Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm!


    Why did he look like cotton candy?


    The eyes that these people looked towards Ye Yuan with again all carried thick fear.


    Ye Yuan did not bother with the Yu Qing on the ground. His gaze turned towards Jin Peng.


    Jin Peng was already dumbfounded with shock by this scene. At this time, he suddenly detected Ye Yuan''s gaze, and could not help shuddering all over.


    "D-D-Don''t, you . . . You don''t come over!" Jin Peng repeatedly retreated in fear.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jin Peng and suddenly beamed and said, "Silkpants is it? Hur hur . . . I''m the ancestor of silkpants!"


    Seeing that ill-intent smile of Ye Yuan''s, Jin Peng felt very ominous.


    "You . . . You . . . What are you trying to do?"


    "Haha. You''ll know very soon," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

 482 Didnst You Say It?

    At the City Lord Manor.


    A semi-clad woman in extremely thick makeup was panting endlessly in the embrace of a man in luxurious black robes.


    "Ah! City Lord Your Excellency, you''re so naughty!"


    "Haha! This is called naughty? There are still naughtier things at the back!"


    "Hehe. I just like you to be bad!"


    Jin Feng was just about to go further when he was interrupted by an extremely disharmonious sound.


    "Reporting!" A manservant barged inside dragging his tone, kneeling on the ground with a slam.


    "City Lord, Your Excellency, things are bad!"


    Jin Feng''s face fell, and he said, "What is it? Kicking up such a fuss! This Breaking Dawn City is already under the rule of the Purple Mansion Sect at present. What major thing can there be?"


    "City . . . City Lord, Your Excellency! Young Master he . . . he . . ." said the manservant as he panted heavily.


    Jin Feng''s expression changed. Pushing away the woman in his arms, he stood up and asked, "What happened to Young Master? Is it possible that there are still people who dare to touch Peng-er in this Breaking Dawn City?"


    "Young Master he . . . His essence energy got sealed by someone and then hung on the city gates! A strip of cloth is even hung on him. On it was written . . . written . . ."


    "Can you f*cking say finish in one breath or not? Quickly speak! What was written?" Jin Feng grabbed the manservant''s collar and asked.


    "This lowly one dare not say," said the manservant timidly.


    "Talk! Otherwise, I''ll smack you to death in one palm!" Jin Feng roared.


    "Ah! Don''t, don''t! I''ll talk! On it was written . . . I''m a tortoise''s son!"


    Bang!


    Jin Feng clapped that manservant into minced meat with one palm!


    "I want to take a look if there''s anybody more arrogant than me in this Breaking Dawn City! Saying that Peng-er is a tortoise''s son, doesn''t that rope Your Father together into the scolding? Hehe, looks like my, Jin Feng''s, temper these two years has been too good. There are already people that dare to not appreciate it and become unbridled!"


    Finished talking, Jin Feng rushed out with a swoosh.


    . . . . . .


    There were streams of people below the city gates. Many people were gesturing and pointing.


    "Who''s that young man? Such great nerves to actually dare make fun of Jin Peng, this little overlord?"


    "Hehe, don''t care who it is. Either way, it really vents our anger this time! This punk normally played the tyrant. Finally, there''s somebody who came out to control him!"


    "Haha! That''s true! This father and son pair are like vampires; cheating us of how many essence crystals in the past?! You look at what''s written there. Haha! An old tortoise! A tortoise''s son! Really vivid!"


    Jin Feng was powerful. The City Lord Manor had as many experts as clouds. These bottom level martial artists normally dare not resist at all.


    Today, there was someone helping them vent their anger. They naturally felt liberating in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan stood on top of the city gates, one leg stepping on a rope. The other end of the rope was tied onto a leg of Jin Peng''s, looking really like some silkpants playing around.


    Jin Peng was still reluctant to admit fault in the beginning. But his essence energy was sealed by Ye Yuan. Currently, he was no different from normal people.


    Being yoyo-ed up and down by Ye Yuan a couple of times, all the blood in his body rushed to his head. At the end, his entire person fainted and was now unconscious.


    The martial artists below were all incomparably excited when they saw this scene and gave off a series of praises.


    All of a sudden, an extremely strong pressure pounced from face-front. Everyone chose to shut their mouths sensibly. They all knew who came.


    "Peng-er!" Jin Feng saw Jin Peng being dangled on the city walls from a long way and was so furious that he was blowing smoke from all seven orifices.


    He came to not far away from Ye Yuan and stood in the air, saying in a cold voice, "Punk, you really have such great gall!" To actually dare provoke somebody who is far superior in power?"


    Ye Yuan smirked and said, "It''s your son who provoked me first. Sorry, I hate others being even more silkpants than me the most!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan so arrogant, Jin Feng flared up even more.


    "Brat, quickly let Peng-er down. Or else, I''ll make you die without a complete corpse!" Jin Feng''s killing intent was already not concealed in the slightest.


    The next scene made everyone dumbfounded from shock. Ye Yuan gave an oh, and then he actually lifted up his leg!


    Breaking Dawn City was a massive frontier town. Hence, the city gates were constructed very grandly.


    Earlier, Jin Peng was moved by Ye Yuan to the highest point of the city gates and was several hundred feet away from the ground.


    In just a blink of an eye, after Ye Yuan lifted his leg, everyone could hear a huge slam. Jin Peng''s head smashed straight onto the ground!


    With this, even Jin Peng, a Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse, did not react to it!


    Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan would have a verbal exchange with Jin Feng and say a few fierce words.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan would actually be so obedient and directly let go of the rope!


    "You! Why did you release the rope?!" Jin Feng said, currently enraged.


    But Ye Yuan said blankly, "Huh? Didn''t you say to let me release him just now?"


    "Puff!" Jin Feng nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    I asked you to release, but I didn''t ask you release him that way!


    Jin Peng''s essence energy was sealed and totally could not muster essence energy to protect the body. Hence, Jin Peng directly had intimate contact with the ground through his fragile fleshy body.


    Although martial artists'' bodies were extremely robust under the nourishment of essence energy, it was still a flesh and blood human body in the end.


    He directly tumbled down from a height of several hundred feet; moreover, it was even head landing on the ground . . .


    "Oh, forgot to tell you. I poured in quite a bit of essence energy just now into the ropes. That''s why it fell so quickly. You quickly take a look at him. Don''t let him fall to his death." Ye Yuan''s words were hell-bent on shocking people to death.


    Jin Feng''s figure swayed, and he nearly fell down from the air.


    This punk was absolutely deliberate!


    "You''ve got guts, boy! You''ll regret the things that you did today!" Jin Feng gnashed his teeth in hatred as he glared at Ye Yuan


    Finished talking, he leaped, arriving by Jin Peng''s side instantaneously.


    The ground was stone bricks. Currently, the stone bricks were already smashed to dust by Jin Peng''s head.


    Jin Peng''s head directly entered the ground, leaving only half of his body still on the surface; a reverse living onion.


    Since the start earlier, Jin Peng did not even give off a mumble. This made Jin Feng''s heart give birth to a hint of foreboding premonition.


    If it were a normal fall, Jin Peng would not be in a situation to the extent where he could not even give off a wail.


    But that boy actually poured essence energy into the ropes!


    That speed earlier was exceedingly swift. Even he was not able react to it; by then, Jin Peng already dropped down.


    Jin Feng raised his hand to pull his son out from the ground but saw that Jin Peng''s entire head was a bloody mess. Clearly, he had sustained severe injuries.


    Seeing his son in such a wretched state, Jin Feng''s killing intent surged towards the skies.


    "Come, men!" Jin Feng yelled out.


    Two martial artists rushed out from the crowd very soon.


    "City Lord, Your Excellency!"


    "Send Peng-er back to the City Lord Manor for me. Find people to treat him at once!" Jin Feng said in a low voice.


    "Yes!"


    Those two martial artists carried Jin Peng away very quickly. Jin Feng''s expression became even more somber too.


    From start to end, Ye Yuan did not stop them.


    Seeing Jin Feng come in front of him again, Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Why the superfluous action? Actually, I dealt my blow very properly. Jin Peng can just be an idiot from now on. There''s no need for him to come out and harm people."


    "You! Puhwark . . ." This time, Jin Feng was really angered until he vomited blood.


    He had been the Breaking Dawn City''s City Lord for so many years. Today, he was actually being toyed around in the hands of this boy before his eyes!


    How could people accept this?!


    "Boy, you''re digging your own grave here!" Jin Feng said word by word.

 483 Toying With

    "Haha. I am digging a grave. But . . . it''s dug for you," said Ye Yuan with a smile. He took no heed of Jin Feng''s threat.


    "What a sharp tongue! I want to see if you can still be stubborn in a while!"


    Jin Feng''s hand suddenly appeared a ringed great saber. Killing intent surged towards the skies without being concealed at all.


    When those martial artists below were enveloped by this immense killing intent, they withdrew one after another.


    Ye Yuan who was opposite of Jin Feng was seemingly oblivious to the intent. Jin Feng''s killing intent seemed to directly pass through Ye Yuan without any effect.


    Seeing this scene, Jin Feng''s expression suddenly became grave.


    Jin Feng being able to become the Breaking Dawn City''s City Lord was by fighting it out with his own strength and real swords and spears.


    "This youngster might be remarkable, but he''s still a little too reckless! Jin Feng has killed countless people in his life. This killing intent is already on the verge of materializing; it''s on a completely different level from that Yu Qing!"


    "I heard that before Jin Feng became the Breaking Dawn City''s City Lord, he killed countless people. Back then, when he was still at the Sixth Level Sea Transformation, he wielded the ringed great saber in his hands alone to come and challenge the previous city lord. The previous city lord was a Seventh Level Sea Transformation expert! Jin Feng actually crossed realms and killed his opponent, becoming the new city lord. It could be seen how formidable his strength is!"


    "Now that Jin Feng has already broken through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation for so many years, his strength is already on an entirely different level from back then. Against the present Jin Feng, most likely even Ninth Level Sea Transformations might not be his match!"


    "Yeah. He has already not personally taken action in the Breaking Dawn City for many years. Nobody knows just how powerful he is now. But just based on this killing intent, it can make ordinary martial artists'' minds waver and not even unleash their martial techniques, right?"


    Crossing a small stage to battle was as easy as eating and drinking to Ye Yuan. But among normal martial artists, it was as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    For Jin Feng to be able to cross realms and kill a Seventh Level Sea Transformation when he was at the Sixth Level Sea Transformation, it could be seen that his concepts comprehension was already tremendously powerful.


    However, concepts comprehension this sort of thing, Ye Yuan transcended the entire Endless World.


    "Boy, I couldn''t tell that you still have some capabilities. To actually be immune to the killing intent that I''m releasing! However . . . My Ravaging Heaven''s Melody Saber isn''t that easy to resolve! Die obediently!"


    Jin Feng gave a cold smile. The saber quaked, and a series of clashing metal sounds emitted from the blade''s body.


    As soon as this sound emitted, it was like a demonic melody, tunneling into every martial artists'' ears.


    Those martial artists down below did not think that such a situation would occur. Each and every one of them desperately used their hands to cover their eyes.


    But even so, the expressions on their faces were still incomparably as if in agony.


    Even Ye Yuan''s mind fell into a trance after hearing this bizarre demonic melody.


    Once Jin Feng saw this state, he cleaved towards Ye Yuan with a blade!


    Yet, Jin Feng''s eyes blurred, and Ye Yuan''s figure vanished!


    He was inwardly alarmed and suddenly felt like his blade was being blocked by something. It actually could not slash downwards!


    Focusing his eyes to look, Jin Feng''s three spiritual and seven physical souls were frightened away.


    He saw that Ye Yuan had actually arrived before him since who knew when, using two fingers to clasp hold on his ringed great saber!


    The saber momentum stopped, and the sound wave attack immediately dissipated. Those martial artists below recovered to normal very quickly. But when they saw the scene of Ye Yuan using his fingers to grab hold of Jin Feng''s saber, every one of them was astounded until their jaws all hit the ground.


    "You got to kidding, right? Such sharp and fierce saber momentum, he . . . he actually used his fingers to grab it, and he is still perfectly unscathed?"


    "Just who in the world is this youth? Why is he so powerful? Using one''s fingers to grab Jin Feng''s ringed great saber, even Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation won''t dare to do so as well, right?"


    "Too . . . Too strong! Totally not on the same level! Completely crushed! A First Level Sea Transformation crushing a Seventh Level Sea Transformation . . . Such a thing actually happened?"


    The sword intent on Ye Yuan''s body was much stronger than Jin Feng''s saber intent. Jin Feng''s saber intent could not harm Ye Yuan at all.


    Things that other people dare not do, Ye Yuan did it without impediment.


    "H-H-How can you not be affected by the sound wave attack?" Jin Feng was alarmed until he was stammering when he talked.


    "For that lousy thing of yours to want to hurt me, training another thousand years isn''t enough either!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, but his body surged with sword intent.


    With a smash, Jin Feng was sent flying out.


    Ye Yuan had indeed received the influence of the sound wave earlier. This sound wave attack not only acted on the martial artist''s sense of hearing, but it also applied to the martial artist''s divine soul even more, making it impossible to guard against.


    But once that attack reached Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the nameless black bead suspended in Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness lightly vibrated and dissipated the attack. Ye Yuan did not even have time to take the initiative to defend.


    What this sound wave attack was most powerful at was divine soul attack. Once the divine soul attack was broken, one just had to use essence energy to close off their hearing, and the sound wave attack would be useless.


    Jin Feng was struck by the sword intent released from Ye Yuan''s body. His innards were like being overturned, instantaneously sustaining extremely severe internal injuries.


    "Just what is this boy''s background? How can he be so strong? Up until now, he hasn''t even released a proper attack!" Jin Feng was shocked beyond words in his heart.


    He could sense that Ye Yuan was completely toying with him. Or else, with that blow earlier, he would already have croaked!


    You got to kidding. Just using the powerful sword intent emitted from his body and he could cross boundaries to wound a Seventh Level Sea Transformation martial artist. If he were to unleash martial techniques, then how strong would that be?


    Thinking up to here, Jin Feng unwittingly shuddered.


    How could such a powerful existence suddenly appear in Breaking Dawn City?


    Seeing Ye Yuan walk over towards him, Jin Feng crawled to his feet and flew in the direction of the City Lord Manor.


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile and followed after.


    His speed was much faster than Jin Feng''s and caught up to him very quickly.


    Slam!


    Sword intent clashed with sabre intent. Jin Feng was sent flying by Ye Yuan again.


    Just like this, Ye Yuan chased Jin Feng all the way to the City Lord Manor.


    "Lord Dai, help! Lord Dai . . ." Jin Feng''s shrill cry reverberated throughout the City Lord Manor.


    Bang!


    Jin Feng''s body directly broke the City Lord Manor''s front gate, flying inside.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked inside the City Lord Manor. Looking at the Jin Feng lying on the ground covered entirely in blood, he said coolly, "You father and son pair committed all sorts of crime in Breaking Dawn City. You complied to the Tranquil Cloud Sect in public while opposing in private, and actually even willingly become the Purple Mansion Sect''s lackeys! Death isn''t regrettable!"


    Jin Feng was alarmed in his heart, and he looked at Ye Yuan disbelievingly as he said, "Y-Y-You are . . . How is this possible? Why didn''t I receive any news at all that you came to Breaking Dawn City?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If you got the news, how could I make it to Breaking Dawn City? Alright, thanks for leading the way. Now . . . You can go die already."


    "Ahh! Don''t!" Jin Feng yelled out in despair.


    But Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with him. Forming a sword with his fingers, a streak of sword qi sped like the wind towards Jin Feng.


    Right then, a figure suddenly appeared between the two people.


    The person lightly flapped his sleeves. That streak of sword qi was scattered!


    When Jin Feng saw this person''s back view, he immediately said agitatedly, "Lo-Lord Dai! Many thanks for Lord Dai''s life-saving grace!


    But when Ye Yuan stared at the person before his eyes, his expression became solemn.

 484 If I Want to Kill Him, You Canst Prevent I

    "I didn''t think that the Purple Mansion Sect actually sent a Soul Sea Realm over to station at Breaking Dawn City!"


    This person in front of Ye Yuan wearing the Purple Mansion Sect''s outfit was shockingly a Soul Sea Realm expert!


    Ye Yuan even thought that the Purple Mansion Sect would at most send a Ninth Level Sea Transformation here. To think that it would actually be a Soul Sea Realm!


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s Soul Sea Realms appeared to be many, but when distributed across the entire Southern Domain, it was not enough.


    Since the Purple Mansion Sect eradicated the six great sects until now, it had merely been several months'' time. There were still many places that were not very stable, requiring Soul Sea Realm experts to hold down the fort.


    Ye Yuan never would have thought that the Purple Mansion Sect would send a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse here to hold down the fort at Breaking Dawn City; it was a remote place.


    The Purple Mansion Sect grand elder had a middle-aged appearance. Among Soul Sea Realm experts, he was also considered an up-and-coming star.


    After the middle-aged man saw Ye Yuan, he was observing Ye Yuan the entire time but did not speak.


    Seeing Ye Yuan talk at this time, he gave a faint smile too and said, "Looking at your appearance, you''re that Ye Yuan from the Tranquil Cloud Sect. This Seat is the Purple Mansion Sect''s Dai Yuhen."


    From the initial shock, Ye Yuan recovered too and said coolly, "That''s right. I''m precisely Ye Yuan. To think that Elder Dai actually recognized me at a glance."


    Dai Yuhen said smilingly, "Stopping my Purple Mansion Sect with your strength alone. Wanting to not recognize you is out of the question as well! Furthermore, you have such skills at such an age. I thought about it, in the land of the Southern Domain, there''s only you."


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "I''m quite surprised though. Why is Elder Dai here in Breaking Dawn City?"


    This Dai Yuhen was actually not in a rush to take action against Ye Yuan either. He actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Yuan, appearing like everything was under control.


    Seeing Ye Yuan asking, Dai Yuhen did not hide anything either, and he said with a smile, "Speaking of it, me being here is still because of you!"


    Ye Yuan was said bewilderedly, "Because of me?"


    Dai Yuhen nodded and said, "That''s right. Because you''ve done too many inconceivable things! In order to prevent for contingencies, Sect Master went out of the way to transfer me over from another place to garrison this place! It''s just I didn''t think that this contingency . . . actually really happened."


    Ye Yuan could not help smilingly bitterly when he heard that. The one who drew this Soul Sea Realm expert over was actually still himself.


    But Ye Yuan became curious again very soon and enquired, "There are many frontier cities that can lead to the Northern Domain. How did you know that I''d definitely go through this Breaking Dawn City?"


    Dai Yuhen said, "About this . . . Martial Nephew Lin Chao is still quite far-sighted. He once said that if the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved north, they would definitely break down into parts, and choose an extremely remote city to leave. And with your personality, you''re bound to choose the most complicated circumstances Breaking Dawn City. To think that his words really hit the mark."


    Ye Yuan could not help being slightly amazed. This Lin Chao''s thoughts were meticulous; he was definitely an adversary that was extremely hard to deal with.


    Including the previous time He Mingde led a team to besiege the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it was also Lin Chao guessing that it was him presiding over the grand array.


    This Lin Chao''s understanding of his character was very thorough. He was also exceptionally skilled in grabbing other people''s soft spots to do things, and his actions were remarkably ruthless.


    If not that he had some measures, he would really still have to suffer a huge deal the previous time.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s face revealed a look of realization, Dai Yuhen then asked, "Martial Nephew Lin said that there was a need to guard against you guys. I previously even thought that he was making a big deal over nothing. Looking at it now, your means are truly fantastic. Before meeting you, I actually did not even get wind of any news at all. Sect Master laid down countless informers at the Tranquil Cloud Sect. How did you all escape?"


    Ye Yuan did not conceal anything either, briefly recounting the matter of him constructing a miniature transmission array, leaving Dai Yuhen staring wide-eyed and mouth agape.


    After a long time, Dai Yuhen finally heaved a long sigh and said, "What Martial Nephew Lin said was correct. Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple escaping to the Northern Domain are but stray dogs. You''re my Fierce Gale World''s mortal malady! Ye Yuan, I actually focus wholeheartedly on Dao and dislike these strifes. But you and I each serve a different master. I can''t let you leave today."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. He also saw through that this Dai Yuhen was rather different from the Purple Mansion Sect''s other people. Or else, it was not possible to talk so much crap with him.


    But since Da Yuhen showed up here, this fight was destined to be unavoidable.


    "Come on!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Dai Yuhen was stupefied as he asked weirdly, "You want to fight with me?"


    "What? Can it be that you want me to surrender?" Ye Yuan replied with a question instead.


    "Isn''t that so? I know that your strength is very formidable and can cross realms to battle. But, against me, you don''t have any chance of winning!" Dai Yuhen shook his head and said.


    Ye Yuan was rather amused and said, "How will one know without trying?"


    At this time, Jin Feng who had been watching the two people converse by the side the entire time said with a loud laugh, "Punk, what are you thinking? Lord Dai is a Soul Sea Realm expert. You, a puny little Sea Transformation Realm, actually dare challenge him with no notion of how high the heaven, and how deep the earth is?"


    Soul Sea Realm was an invincible existence to Sea Transformation Realms. This was common sense.


    Ye Yuan''s actions were actually subverting common sense in itself. Jin Feng finding it absurd was within reason too.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s existence had always been smashing common sense!


    Seeing Jin Feng rear his head, Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Just now that interruption, I forgot that there was still you, a trash. Alright then, before fighting, I''ll send you to heaven first. There''s no need to thank me."


    Ye Yuan already had an understanding of the conduct of Jin Feng this father and son pair. Jin Feng this person had complete disregard for human life. Using his position as a city lord, who knew how many people he had exploited. The martial artists all dared to be angry but dared not voice out.


    Regarding such a scourge, Ye Yuan would never show leniency.


    However, Dai Yuhen clearly did not plan on letting Ye Yuan kill Jin Feng. He said indifferently, "Jin Feng has already pledged allegiance to my Purple Mansion Sect. I won''t let you kill him!"


    Jin Feng was overjoyed hearing that and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Dai! Jin Feng will definitely slog it out for the Purple Mansion Sect!"


    Finished talking, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Punk, in front of Lord Dai, you still dare to be so arrogant! The Southern Domain being unified by the Purple Mansion Sect is already something which cannot be stopped. You all these Tranquil Cloud Sect''s remaining spawns still not going to obediently submit to arrest with folded arms?"


    With Dao Yuhen backing him, Jin Feng felt like his waist could be straightened even more.


    But Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with Jin Feng. Instead, he said to Dai Yuhen nonchalantly, "If I want to kill him, you can''t prevent it."


    His voice had yet to fade when innumerable flower petals instantly appeared in the City Lord Manor!


    It was precisely Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals!


    Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen''s brows furrowed slightly. The power of this move was rather formidable!


    Although it was not worth mentioning to him, to Jin Feng, it was plenty to kill him several times over.


    Dao Yuhen flicked his sleeves grandly. Majestic essence energy partitioned those flower petals far away.


    When Jin Feng saw such a horrifying move, his eyes revealed a stunned expression. But, seeing Dai Yuhen resolving it casually, he could not help becoming even cockier.


    "Haha! You! Just a boy who is overestimating his own strength! I''m standing right here! You come and kill me! Come and kill me!" Jin Feng said to Ye Yuan with a big laugh.


    All of a sudden, Jin Feng''s laughter ceased abruptly. Because he felt a chill behind his back.


    Two fingers pressed at the center of his back since who knew when!


    "As you wish!"


    Ye Yuan voice seemingly came from the underworld. Force was released. A sharp and fierce sword intent instantly pierced Jin Feng''s heart.

 485 Battling Soul Sea!

    Dai Yuhen reacted at the first moment. But it was already too late for him to save people.


    "Avatar body!"


    Seeing the two Ye Yuans �� one at the front and one at the back �D Dai Yuhen''s expression became somber.


    Seemed like this Ye Yuan was even harder to deal with than imagined!


    As for Jin Feng''s life and death, Dai Yuhen actually was not overly concerned.


    Jin Feng used his final consciousness to lower his head and look at his own chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    Finally, his consciousness dissipated entirely, and his body collapsed weakly onto the ground.


    "Looks like I still underestimated you!" Dai Yuhen heaved a sigh and said.


    The avatar body was not the least bit threatening to him at all. But to Jin Feng, it was deadly.


    Ye Yuan''s means were inexhaustible. It really made it impossible to guard against.


    Dai Yuhen could not help sizing up this youth before his eyes once more as if the latter had limitless methods.


    It was not to the extent where Ye Yuan really had the qualifications to fight with him, right?


    Dao Yuhen very quickly denied this idea. How was this possible?


    Between Soul Sea Realm and Sea Transformation Realm, there was a giant chasm. It was impossible to cross, let alone that Ye Yuan was still only First Level Sea Transformation.


    What was happening to him? He was actually frightened from a teenage youth. Truly declining as he aged.


    Dai Yuhen laughed self-deprecatingly in his heart.


    "Alright. That hindering fellow is already eliminated. There won''t be people hampering us anymore!"


    When Ye Yuan was talking, he was actually brimming with fighting intent!


    "You''re sure that you really want to fight with me? I know that your strength isn''t weak, but, it''s precisely so that I might not be able to grasp the limits properly. A genius like you falling is seriously too pitiable," Dai Yuhen asked once more.


    Ye Yuan did not think that this Da Yuhen actually still had a heart that cherished talents, and he was rather surprised.


    But since Ye Yuan broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, he had yet to unleash his full strength.


    He was already matchless among Sea Transformation Realms. Only Soul Sea Realm experts were worthy to be his opponent.


    This Dai Yuhen was clearly an opponent tailor-made for Ye Yuan!


    "Haha! Elder Dai is indeed quite different from He Mingde those scumbags. But you don''t have to worry about me. Just come at me with your best shot! Even if I beat you today, I''ll let you leave as well," Ye Yuan said with a huge laugh.


    Arrogance!


    In Dai Yuhen''s eyes, this Ye Yuan was too arrogant!


    A Sea Transformation Realm saying to let a Soul Sea Realm live. This sounded somewhat comical no matter how one listened to it.


    Dai Yuhen''s face sunk slightly and he said, "Humph! What a rampant boy! I want to see just how you''ll beat me!"


    Finished talking, the two people arrived in mid-air without prior consultation. With their strength, fighting in the City Lord Manor would probably exterminate even fowls and dogs at the side.


    "You guys, look! There are two people facing off over there! That purple shirt man has such a powerful pressure. Doesn''t seem like what Sea Transformation Realm experts can have. Could that be a Soul Sea Realm expert?"


    "My God! Is this Soul Sea Realm? Indeed ridiculously powerful! Separated so far away and I''m even somewhat stifled. Moreover, I feel that he isn''t even intentionally giving off the pressure of a Soul Sea Realm expert!"


    "Who''s that young man opposite him? Seems like only First Level Sea Transformation! These two people facing off in the air aren''t about to have a fight, right?"


    "Are you kidding? First Level Sea Transformation versus First Level Soul Sea. Is that boy a moron?"


    "You''re the moron! That young man is the youth who used his fingers to grab Jin Feng''s great ringed-saber just now on top of the city gates. His strength is terrifyingly powerful! He was chasing Jin Feng to the City Lord Manor and actually provoked a Soul Sea Realm expert! But, no matter how great his strength is, squaring off against Soul Sea Realm . . . it is most likely a hopeless action!"


    "What? Using his fingers to grab City Lord''s great ringed-saber? Holy sh*t! Are the youths now all powerful to such a degree? Indeed, we, these front waves, are all smacked to death on the beach."


    Once Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen appeared, they drew a large number of martial artist to crowd around and spectate.


    But Dai Yuhen''s aura was too strong. Those martial artists all crowded around far away to watch self-consciously. Nobody dared to approach the two people.


    "Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!"


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry and directly activated Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!


    Facing Soul Sea Realm experts, his present realm was seriously too low. Hence, Ye Yuan did not hesitate, using Origin Spirit Nine Transformations straight away.


    Dao Yuhen''s expression changed. He saw Ye Yuan''s aura rise with rapid speed and actually broke through the Second Level Sea Transformation very quickly!


    Ye Yuan''s aura surged all the way, finally stopping at the Fourth Level Sea Transformation.


    Ye Yuan borrowed the power of the essence energy in his body first to instantly break through three minor realms, arriving at the Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm!


    Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen''s expression could not help changing drastically!


    "This . . . This . . . This . . . Could it be that what you just used is Origin Spirit Nine Transformations?" Dai Yuhen exclaimed in shock.


    "You actually know the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations?" Hearing Dai Yuhen saw through it right away, Ye Yuan was also quite surprised.


    "Hiss . . . It''s really Origin Spirit Nine Transformations! I heard that you silently sneaked into the Fierce Gale World. Could it be that you stole the Xue Family''s martial art manuals away?" Dai Yuhen''s brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    "Stole away? You''re thinking too much! Xue Family those dunces, most likely, there has yet to be anyone who can use it to my level," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Dai Yuhen was involuntarily shocked, and he thought to himself that was true as well.


    It had only been a few months'' time. If Ye Yuan really stole the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, it was absolutely impossible to cultivate to such a level.


    Directly breaking through from early-stage Sea Transformation to middle-stage Sea Transformation, such a span was too outrageous!


    Dai Yuhen naturally did not know that the reason why Ye Yuan only broke through three minor realms was that his essence energy sea was too large!


    With Ye Yuan''s foundation, advancing three minor realms was already the limit.


    But the way those martial artists below them saw it, that was entirely not the case!


    "What martial technique did that youth use just now? He actually broke through to middle-stage Sea Transformation in the blink of an eye! Too sick!"


    "Never heard before that there''s still such a perverse martial technique! With such a martial technique, wouldn''t crossing realms to battle be as simple as eating and drinking?"


    "Hehe. Initially thought that it was just a lopsided fight. Now, it looks like there''s a good show to watch! That young man''s strength was very formidable to begin with. Now, he actually broke through three minor realms in succession. While I don''t know how much distance it can pull closer to Soul Sea Realm, there is more or less something worth watching! Such a battle is hard to come across in a hundred years in the Breaking Dawn City!"


    These martial artists'' blood were all boiling. They were looking forward to this great fight.


    Soul Sea Realm experts were extremely rare in the Southern Domain. Except for the Eight Great Sects, there were extremely few Soul Sea Realm experts that existed.


    Just like the disparity between strength, wanting to break through to Soul Sea Realm from Sea Transformation Realm was similarly a heavenly chasm.


    Being able to watch a Soul Sea Realm expert level great battle today was perhaps a turning point for them too!


    "Thousand Flowing Petals!"


    Ye Yuan''s Canghua Sword shook. Countless flying petals swept over!


    Now that Ye Yuan broke through to Sea Transformation Realm, his execution of Thousand Flowing Petals was already at the extent of being athis fingertips. Executing this martial technique virtually did not require any time at all.


    Ye Yuan leaped lightly. The Canghua Sword wrapped around by countless flying petals slashed towards Dai Yuhen!

 486 Defea

    "Fine lad! Watch this!"


    Even though Dai Yuhen had confidence, he did not dare to belittle Ye Yuan at this time either.


    Ye Yuan''s combat strength greatly surpassed his level itself. Consecutively jumping three minor realms at this moment, God knew how formidable his strength was!


    Such an increase in strength was already very terrifying for ordinary martial artists, let alone it happening to a top genius?


    Ye Yuan''s speed was seemingly slow, but in reality, it was fast. Furthermore, it was erratic, just like a specter.


    Moreover, the places that he reached all had large quantities of flower petals following, looking like countless large flower petals had bloomed in the air.


    "Crane Dance Seven Absolute Palms!"


    Dai Yuhen''s palm force spat out. It was akin to immortal cranes dancing, graceful and agile.


    At this instance, the power of a Soul Sea Realm martial artist was displayed beyond all doubt!


    The places that Dai Yuhen''s palm wind reached, Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals would be dissipated instantly.


    Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals was nigh-invincible in the Sea Transformation Realm. But in front of Dai Yuhen, it could not gain any advantage at all.


    "This is Soul Sea Realm? Really powerful! A casual move can explode with such horrifying power. It''s completely not what Sea Transformation Realms can contend with!"


    "F*ck you; are you blind? Isn''t the youth that''s fighting with him a Sea Transformation Realm? If not for seeing with my own eyes, I truly dare not believe that there is really a Sea Transformation Realm that can fight to such a level with a Soul Sea Realm!"


    "That young man is indeed powerful! But he totally cannot approach that purple shirt expert. Carrying on like this, a defeat is something inevitable."


    Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen exchanged a hundred moves in the blink of an eye. But Ye Yuan simply could not even enter a 50 feet radius around Dai Yuhen.


    Moreover, Dai Yuhen had been on defensive the entire time and had yet to take the initiative to attack once.


    Hence, in the other martial artists'' view, Ye Yuan''s strength much too weak.


    Actually, they did not know that it was not that Dai Yuhen did not want to counterattack, but it was because he simply could not find the opportunity to counterattack.


    Ye Yuan''s figure was erratic, leaving upon hitting. He seemed to be completely without any desire to continue fighting aggresively.


    Dai Yuhen simply could not figure out where Ye Yuan''s next attack would appear at. Only by waiting for Ye Yuan to take the initiative to show himself that he could passively counterattack.


    From start to end, it was all Ye Yuan holding the initiative.


    Ye Yuan''s attack might not be able to pose a threat to Dai Yuhen; likewise, Dai Yuhen had no way of causing any harm to Ye Yuan.


    By fusing the Wind Flow concept into his movement technique, it made Ye Yuan''s movements become extremely bizarre.


    For Dai Yuhen to want to catch Ye Yuan, he had to give up on his defensive circle and let Ye Yuan approach.


    But Dai Yuhen who had already borne witness to Ye Yuan''s methods did not dare to do so at this time.


    Who knew if this boy had some powerful attack that could breach the protective essence energy of a Soul Sea Realm expert?


    Therefore, Dai Yuhen also decided to play it safely, executing probing attacks with Ye Yuan first.


    Fighting up until now looked like flowers cascading from the skies. Actually, it was just the two people warming up.


    It was just that the way the other martial artists saw it, this was already a peak battle.


    Because among them, there was no one at all who could withstand a casual blow from the two people.


    In the crowd, Tian Yu and the rest were watching the fight too.


    When they saw Ye Yuan suddenly face off with a Soul Sea Realm expert, their hearts leaped to their throats.


    As disciples of the Eight Great Sects, they were deeply aware of the might of Soul Sea Realm martial artists.


    Tian Yu they all knew that Ye Yuan had once defeated the Myriad Sword Sect''s Qin Yan. But, just what the chances of victory was like facing off against a Soul Sea Realm expert, they really had no score in their hearts.


    Seeing Ye Yuan locked in battle with Dai Yuhen at this time, they were a little calm in their hearts instead.


    However, they were also aware that the real fight was only starting now.


    "Ye Yuan, do you plan on dragging it out like this all the way? I can afford to drag on, but can you do so? Carrying on probing like this, you won''t be able to figure out just where the limits of my strength lie either." Dai Yuhen clearly had plenty of strength left over, even talking while he was defending.


    "Alright then. Thousand Flowing Petals, arise!" Ye Yuan''s voice came over faintly.


    All of a sudden, essence energy flower petals that blotted out the skies and covered the earth condensed in the sky above Breaking Dawn City, practically covering the sun!


    Horrifying essence energy undulations crushed the martial artists below until they could not catch their breath.


    Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen was not alarmed but became delighted instead.


    Ye Yuan was finally going to have a frontal battle with him!


    Under the powerful strength of Soul Sea Realm, everything was nothingness!


    With the strength of Fourth Level Sea Transformation, the Thousand Flowing Petals that Ye Yuan used was unbelievably horrifying from beginning to end.


    Right now, the entire sky was a sea of flower petals, looking extremely torrential and grandiose.


    If Ye Yuan could battle with Zhao Chenggan in his present state, it was ample to one-shot him!


    "Haha! This should be the move that you created yourself, right? Indeed prodigious! If I didn''t have Soul Sea Realm strength, I would most likely be one-shotted by you instantly! Truly impressive! However . . . using this move to deal with me is still too tender! Crane Dance Nine Heavens!"


    When Dai Yuhen''s move was released, it instantaneously amassed massive quantities of heaven and earth essence energy!


    The aura belonging to a Soul Sea Realm pushed aside the petals which filled the skies.


    "F*ck me! So, this is their true strength! I already have no way of describing using words! These two people are really powerful until it makes people despair!"


    "Yeah! If this is the true strength of a Soul Sea Realm, then I feel that I''ll probably have no way of striding out this step for the rest of my life!"


    "That young man only has Fourth Level Sea Transformation boundary right now and can actually unleash such a terrifying move. In my view, this move of his might really not be beneath that Soul Sea Realm''s!"


    "The two people''s moves are both extremely terrifying. Who wins and who loses . . . It is really hard to say!"


    Dai Yuhen struck out a palm, compressing the air until it exploded! Ye Yuan sensed a harrowing aura coming from the front.


    Facing a Soul Sea Realm expert''s powerful martial technique, Ye Yuan did not dare to slight it. Mobilizing those countless flower petals, it charged at Dai Yuhen frantically!


    "Thousand Flowing Petals, explode!"


    Yet, the Thousand Flowing Petals which had never failed finally lost its edge this time.


    Even with the Thousand Flowing Petals'' detonation producing massive obstruction, Dai Yuhen''s palm wind still pressed forward irresistibly like a hot knife through butter!


    Talking about it was as if things happened slowly, but in reality, it was only in a twinkle.


    Dai Yuhen''s Crane Dance Nine Heavens finally still landed on Ye Yuan''s body!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was blasted out several hundred feet away!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan tasted sweetness in his throat and spurted out a mouthful of blood.


    "Sigh. Still lost in the end! But for a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist to be able to accomplish to such an extent, it''s already plenty to be proud of!"


    "Yeah! A First Level Sea Transformation could actually cross a major realm to fight with a First Level Soul Sea to such an extent! Before this, I simply dare not imagine it!"


    "Also don''t know how that Soul Sea Realm expert plan on dealing with him. Such a genius perishing is truly too pitiable."


    A series of sighs was emitted from the crowd. But regarding Ye Yuan''s performance, they were all immensely shocked.


    If it were an ordinary First Level Sea Transformation, they probably would not have the courage to attack at all in front of a Soul Sea Realm expert, right?


    Dai Yuhen flew to not far away from Ye Yuan, his face carrying solemnness as he said, "Really didn''t expect that you could actually force me to use Crane Dance Nine Heavens. Furthermore, even dissipating most of Crane Dance Nine Heavens'' force. Truly widened my horizons greatly! However . . . it ends here. Follow me back to the Purple Mansion Sect!"

 487 Yousre Very Strong!

    Hearing Dai Yuhen''s words, Ye Yuan suddenly wiped away the fresh blood hanging from the corner of his mouth and gave a grin.


    "Soul Sea Realm is indeed powerful! Looks like I still underestimated Elder Dai! Elder Dai''s strength, among First Level Soul Sea Realms, is also considered very strong! But wanting to bring me away just based on this is still not quite enough!"


    Dai Yuhen shook his head and said with a sigh, "I know that geniuses all have their pride. But you being able to perform to such an extent is already very impressive! Even if you lost, there''s nothing to be ashamed of either."


    The way Dai Yuhen saw it, Ye Yuan was a dead duck being stubborn and could not bear a loss.


    In the case of geniuses, their talents were greater compared to normal people. But they also found it very hard to accept failure without misgivings.


    Ye Yuan forcing him to this extent with First Level Sea Transformation boundary was truly very remarkable already.


    "Lost? Haha! I can''t afford to lose! Hence . . . my only way out is to keep winning all the way!" Ye Yuan laughed self-mockingly.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan released his aura fully once more. Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon condensed and formed in his hands rapidly!


    Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen''s face changed!


    This move had yet to be released, and it already made even him, this Soul Sea Realm expert, feel somewhat daunted! Presumably, the power was extraordinary!


    Just how many trump cards in his hands has this boy not used yet? The power of that move earlier was freakish enough already. This current move is actually even more perverse than the move just now!


    Dai Yuhen silently cussed in his heart.


    But grumbling was grumbling. Dai Yuhen''s speed of executing his move was not slow.


    "Crane Dance Nine Heavens!"


    It was still the previous move, Crane Dance Nine Heavens. But this time, Dai Yuhen used 90% of his power!


    Under normal circumstances, not at a life-and-death juncture, martial artists would not employ all of their essence energy.


    If the essence energy that one martial technique move expended were too much, it would make the martial artist lack strength to carry on. Once they could not dispose of their opponent, then it would be them perishing.


    Hence, martial artists only used 60% - 70% of their strength under most circumstances when fighting.


    That Crane Dance Nine Heavens move earlier, Dai Yuhen already wielded 70% strength.


    It was not to be underestimated how this 70% strength did not seem to be much. To a First Level Sea Transformation like Ye Yuan, it was already tremendous respect.


    One had to know that if Dai Yuhen''s opponent were swapped, he probably would not even use 10% of his strength!


    First Level Soul Sea and Fourth Level Sea Transformation was simply not a fight on the same level.


    But this time, Dai Yuhen used 90% power in one go. It was practically already his full power!


    Before this, Dai Yuhen simply had not thought of this possibility that Ye Yuan would actually forced him to this sort of degree!


    90% power Crane Dance Nine Heavens! It actually carried the faint cries of immortal cranes in the palm wind. It could be seen that Dai Yuhen already displayed this move to the ultimate.


    The roaring sounds of the wind and fire colossal dragon and the faint cries of immortal cranes surged to the skies, colliding together fiercely.


    Rumble!


    A massive impact, stirring up waves of air billows, sending the City Lord Manor''s rubble flying.


    The martial artists below already deliberately maintained distances. But there were still many martial artists who were knocked over by this bout of air blast.


    The shock wave of Soul Sea Realm level battle was too great.


    "Hiss . . . That young man is too scary! This time, the two people are actually evenly-matched!"


    "He is still First Level Sea Transformation and has such terrifying combat strength already! By the time his strength reaches Soul Sea Realm, how terrifying would it be?!"


    "This young man seems to have limitless trump cards. I even thought that move just now was already his greatest trump card. To think that this move is even more terrifying!"


    This time, Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen fought to a draw. Dai Yuhen was actually blasted flying out!


    But Dai Yuhen''s realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. So he only suffered some light injuries.


    However, this was already plenty to shock Dai Yuhen to his core!


    The attack of a Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm could actually hurt a Soul Sea Realm?


    Furthermore, the attack this time was even under the prerequisite of him using 90% power!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan''s combat strength was already infinitely close to his!


    "Ye Yuan, I must admit now that you have enough qualifications to be my opponent! You''re very strong!" Dai Yuhen declared to Ye Yuan earnestly.


    Ye Yuan was similarly blasted flying out. But his injuries were much heavier compared to Dai Yuhen''s.


    However, Ye Yuan''s facial expression did not have the slightest hint of pain. He was abnormally excited instead!


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that he actually gradually developed a liking for this feeling of fighting.


    Previous life, all of his time and energy was spent on alchemy skills, and he virtually did not experience the joy of fighting.


    But in this life, he walked the path of vengeance and experienced countless instances of great life-and-death battles. He actually gradually developed a liking for this sort of feeling!


    This feeling of treading the borders of life and death made Ye Yuan incomparably stimulated!


    Fighting formidable foes one after another also made Ye Yuan unbelievably free from inhibitions!


    This feeling of liberation was exactly the same as refining pills!


    Originally, Ye Yuan was only passively walking the martial path. But now, he quite enjoyed this joy of growing.


    Ye Yuan was deeply aware that only by falling in love madly with something could people have the chance to reach the top.


    Previously, he had always been forcing himself to cultivate the martial path. Actually, it was not enough to sustain him to reach Ji Canglan''s height.


    But now, Ye Yuan had the confidence to surpass everything!


    "Haha! Elder Dai, you''re very strong too! Truly to my heart''s content! Let''s fight again!" Ye Yuan said heroically.


    Dai Yuhen''s life goal was likewise the Martial Path. In this battle, fighting until now had great inspiration to him!


    Saying it out was even quite inconceivable!


    A Soul Sea Realm expert actually obtained enormous harvests through a fight with a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!


    Yet, this was not something that was unthinkable. Ye Yuan''s moves contained the of the great Dao, much greater than Dai Yuhen''s own comprehensions.


    It was precisely due to this that Dai Yuhen could glean much insights from this battle.


    He believed that if he went back to seclude and comprehend things this time, he was bound to have huge harvests!


    But the fight was not over yet!


    "Haha! Good! It''s hard to meet an opponent like you. The next attack, you have to be careful! This is where the essence of my life''s work lie, and also my final trump card! If that was your limits just now, I advice you to best not fight anymore and surrender without resistance!"


    Dai Yuhen was also stimulated by Ye Yuan''s heroicness and wanted to have a final great battle with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "I said before, I''ll keep winning all the way! Elder Dai, you''d better return to the Purple Mansion Sect and devote yourself to the Martial Path! This kind of thing like invading the Endless World is unsuited for you!"


    "Haha! Ye Yuan, you see it clearly! But, I, Dai Yuhen, received His Majesty, the Wind Emperor''s, great grace. How can I watch with folded arms to this sort of thing? Enough crap. Come and fight!" Dai Yuhen said with a loud laugh.


    "Alright. Since that''s the case, then I''ll send you packing! I recently comprehended a sword move. I myself have not tested its power either. Elder Dai, you have to be careful!"


    After the laughter, the two people''s expressions were both a never-before solemness.


    Both knew that the other party''s next attack would be an earth-shattering blow!

 488 Myriad Rain Sword Blades

    "What are they talking about? Invade the Endless World?"


    "Seems like that''s the meaning! However . . . what in the world is going on? Who would invade the Endless World for no reason?"


    "No idea. Their conversation is rather baffling."


    Ye Yuan''s words caused a considerable stir among the crowd.


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s true face had yet to be exposed up until now. These martial artists still thought that the Southern Domain''s great change was just the Endless World''s internal affairs.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not put the cards on the table, he actually already stated it very obviously. As to how much these people would believe, it would be up to their fortunes.


    If possible, Ye Yuan naturally wanted to bring everyone in the Southern Domain and move north. But time was pressing, and where would he find the time to convince these people one by one?


    And at this time, the atmosphere between the two in the air already become somewhat strange.


    The two people were still talking in a jovial manner just now. At this moment, the expressions on the two people''s faces were a never-before solemn.


    It even led to the surrounding atmosphere to be somewhat different.


    Some slightly stronger martial artists were affected by this atmosphere and sensibly distanced away from the two once more.


    Very soon, somebody guessed that this might be Ye Yuan or Dai Yuhen going to unleash their move!


    Right then, Dai Yuhen moved.


    This time, Dai Yuhen no longer held anything back. His full strength erupted abruptly. The surrounding essence energy gathered around him frenziedly.


    "Quickly look! What''s that?!"


    "My God! He actually condensed gathered essence into materialization. How much heaven and earth essence energy did he needed to gather?!"


    "Immortal crane phantom! The power of this move truly demonstrates the disparity between Soul Sea Realm and Sea Transformation Realm! Wonder how that young man will respond!"


    Where Dai Yuhen''s palm force rose, a faint phantom of an immortal crane actually formed gradually.


    That was to say that Dai Yuhen already condensed essence energy to materialization. It could be seen how great the power of this move was!


    And the condensed form of the amassed essence was precisely the prominent characteristic of Soul Sea Realm experts!


    Soul Sea Realm experts could gather very terrifying essence energy with a wave of their hands. It was already on an entirely different level from Sea Transformation Realm experts.


    This essence energy that was gathered could become corporeal. It could be seen just how powerful a martial technique move that they could use was.


    But to the early-stage Soul Sea Dai Yuhen, condensing gathered essence was still somewhat too forceful. That was why he saved this move for the last.


    Even so, that faint immortal crane phantom was also sufficient to astonish people!


    On the other side, after Ye Yuan prepared for a long time, he finally moved too!


    But this movement left everyone dumbstruck in amazement!


    "What? This . . . This . . . This young man can actually condensed gathered essence into materialization too! Isn''t he just Sea Transformation Realm?"


    "What the f*ck! This is too perverse! He actually condensed out so many sword blades!"


    "Just who the hell is this young man? His talent is too terrifying as well! Since ancient times, I''ve never heard of anybody who could condense gathered essence into materialization at the Sea Transformation Realm!"


    Ye Yuan used Canghua Sword as a guide, and then around them were condensed myriad tiny sword blades!


    The sword blades were not large; it was like fragments of a sword. Regardless of so, Ye Yuan succeeded in condensing beyond all doubt!


    Those martial artists down below did not know Ye Yuan''s past. If they knew that Ye Yuan could already maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at the Spirit Condensation Realm, perhaps they would feel that him condensing gathered essence in the Sea Transformation Realm was nothing much.


    Of course, the difficulty of condensing gathered essence was completely not on the same level as maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy. Otherwise, Dai Yuhen would not treat it as his final ace in the hole either.


    However, Ye Yuan''s realm was still a little low in the end. So his control over essence energy reached an extremely minute degree, only condensing out tiny sword blades. This way, the difficulty would lessen greatly.


    Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen''s face also had indescribable solemness.


    The impact that Ye Yuan gave him today was seriously too great!


    "I truly didn''t think that you can actually perform to such an extent. You really made this Dai widen his horizons! Then let us use this move to determine the victor! With Cranes, Immortal Comes! Go!"


    Dai Yuhen''s palm force pressed on. That faint immortal crane phantom attacked Ye Yuan with a light cry!


    Seeing that aggressive immortal crane phantom, Ye Yuan launched this martial technique unhurriedly.


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword . . . Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    Sword blades whirled towards the immortal crane with extreme speed. It actually somewhat had the hint of reaching first despite launching later.


    In that instance, in the eyes of the martial artists below, an immortal crane and a massive cluster of sword rain collided together violently, seemingly like a celestial phenomenon.


    Rumble!


    A violent explosion sound emitted in the air. Two figures plummeted from the skies respectively.


    When Tian Yu saw the situation, he hurriedly leaped up and caught the Ye Yuan who fell down.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, are you alright?"


    When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples saw the situation, they hurriedly crowded around and showed great concern about his well-being.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was very pale. The corners of his mouth and his body dripped with a considerable amount of blood, his condition looking very poor.


    Seeing his seniors and juniors express concern, Ye Yuan waved his hands feebly and said, "It''s fine. Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I''ll have to trouble you to help me over."


    Dai Yuhen did not have Ye Yuan''s treatment. His body slammed fiercely onto the ground.


    But this degree of impact was not considered much to Soul Sea Realm martial artists.


    Dai Yuhen''s injuries were primarily from the fight earlier.


    He was covered in wounds all over his body. That appearance was just like being stabbed by swords. They were evidently wounds left behind by Ye Yuan''s move just now.


    Seeing Ye Yuan came over, Dai Yuhen could not help forcing a smile and said, "To think that I actually lost to a Sea Transformation Realm today! However . . . you''re really very strong! Being able to condense gathered essence into materialization at the Sea Transformation Realm, not saying never to be seen again, it''s absolutely without any precedence, right?"


    This sentence from Dai Yuhen immediately brought on a storm.


    This Soul Sea Realm actually lost?


    Because Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen both sustained very severe injuries, those martial artists could not figure out for a moment just who won and who lost either.


    Only hearing Dai Yuhen admit it personally now did they know that this Sea Transformation Realm youth actually really triumphed over a Soul Sea Realm expert!


    They had long borne witness to Ye Yuan''s might and were also already aware that Ye Yuan had the strength to contend with a Soul Sea Realm expert. Even after Dai Yuhen used a martial technique that condensed gathered essence into materialization, Ye Yuan still defeated him. This made those martial artists all feel like they were dreaming.


    Turns out that Soul Sea Realm experts were not undefeatable!


    Dai Yuhen''s With Cranes, Immortal comes was very strong. But during that battle earlier, Ye Yuan''s sword blades ultimately still had a small number of them that broke through, landing on Dai Yuhen''s body!


    Hence, even though the two people both received severe injuries, it was actually still Ye Yuan whose skill was a level higher.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was white as a sheet. This was not just suffering the tremendous impact of With Cranes, Immortal Comes. It was even because of essence energy expenditure being too exorbitant.


    This move, Myriad Rain Sword Blades, seriously expended too much essence energy. Even if Ye Yuan''s control of essence energy reached an extremely subtle level, it was also somewhat struggling to make ends meet.


    Ye Yuan retrieved a medicinal pill from his storage ring and threw it to Dai Yuhen, saying with a forced smile, "Elder Dai is a true gentleman. Today, I won''t start a slaughter. Hope that you conduct yourself well and don''t associate with those Fierce Gale World''s peoples'' vile deeds!"


    [0] Not important for those who aren''t reading the chinese raws. Author has decided to change the name from Sword Rain Myriad Ren to Myriad Rain Sword Blades arbitrarily from Chapter 559 onwards. The Ren was an ancient unit of measurement. But I think author typed the wrong Ren (blade). Us puny mortals are at the whim of author-sama. This Ren (unit of measurement) was used several times up until it changed to Ren (blade) in Chapter 559. So, to avoid confusion later on, the technique will be standardized as Myriad Rain Sword Blades in accordance to the more recent chapters. Just in case some of you cross-reference to the raws and start flaming me.

 489 No Greater Merit!

    "Cough, cough, cough . . . I''m originally a Fierce Gale World''s native. Whence the don''t associate with their vile deeds? You''ve been to the Fierce Gale World before and should know that I have no command over myself."


    Dai Yuhen also had a doleful look. Clearly, on the matter of invading the Endless World, he was quite conflicted too.


    The war between two worlds signified endless massacre withe the dead souls being countless.


    "No command over yourself? Your life is your own, not others''! Zhao Tianyin is a paramount existence in your eyes, an existence that brooks no desecration! But do you know what you all are in his eyes? You people are . . . just a bunch of tools for him to order around!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Dai Yuhen''s gaze sunk slightly, his complexion suddenly flushing crimson as he said furiously, "How can His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, be profaned by you like this! If you have the capabilities, just kill me! Or else, I''ll surely make you pay the price for today''s affront!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Pedant! Zhao Tianyin is just a Boundless Realm expert! He''s only a mortal too! Look at him assuming solemn airs normally. When he kneeled before me, wasn''t he like a dog too?"


    "Cough, cough, cough . . . Y-You''re courting death!"


    Dai Yuhen struggled, wanting to stand up. But he could not even do so after trying several times.


    "Sigh . . . Heavenly Dao is boundless, humans are insignificant. In front of Heavenly Dao, we''re but merely ants! Elder Dai, if not on account of you and I were having this battle today, why would I waste my breath on you? You feel that I''m insulting Zhao Tianyin, but let me tell you something. Zhao Tianyin doesn''t have the qualifications to make me insult him at all. Place your horizons further. There is still the Divine Realm . . ."


    Dai Yuhen''s expression froze. Divine Realm these two words naturally aroused his desires.


    Dai Yuhen suddenly recalled that Ye Yuan had once entered deep into the Fierce Gale World to rescue his fellow apprentices, but he returned to the Endless World without a scratch.


    What in the world happened in between this? Why did His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, actually not keep this boy behind?


    There seemed to be many stories in between this!


    After this fight, Dai Yuhen and Ye Yuan could even be said to have some appreciation of each other.


    Dai Yuhen could feel Ye Yuan''s sincerity. Otherwise, he could very well just kill him and be done with it.


    Ye Yuan did not show any mercy when cutting down Liao Wenguang, He Jun, and the rest.


    The reason why he did not kill him today was probably still because of this standing aloof from the world mentality of his.


    Was it possible that . . . he was really wrong?


    "Also, although I don''t know just why two generations of your Wind Emperor invaded the Endless World back to back, I have a feeling that they have some kind of ulterior objective. But, no matter what, Zhao Tianyin . . . I''ll definitely kill him with my own hands!"


    Speaking up to here, Ye Yuan suddenly seethed with killing intent.


    Zhao Tianyin''s humiliation that day, Ye Yuan will ultimately claim it back one day!


    "Alright. My words end here. As for how you choose, that''s your matter. Nothing to do with me. However . . . If I bump into you next time on the battlefield, then I won''t show mercy! Senior Apprentice Brother, let''s go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Dai Yuhen silently watched Ye Yuan''s back view, but storms were brewing in his heart.


    The ideology that he had been inculcated with since young was to give allegiance to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor. And the cultivation method he trained in, medicinal pills used in cultivation, were all bestowed by His Majesty, the Wind Emperor.


    So in Dai Yuhen''s mind, pledging allegiance to His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, was something that came very naturally.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s words today silently opened up a window in his sealed mind.


    . . . . . .


    Northern Domain, Xiuming Mountain Peak.


    Two elderly men and a middle-aged woman who had lost some of her charms were drinking tea at the stone table under the pine tree. A youth each stood behind the middle-aged woman and one of the old men respectively.


    The two youths, one male, one female, were shockingly the Yin Yanhua and Guo Taoqun who returned to the Northern Domain from the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    With two of them appearing here, these three people''s identities were also obvious.


    These three people were precisely the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect''s old ancestors, and also the Northern Domain''s and even the entire Endless World''s three most powerful people!


    It was just that these three people had knitted brows which did not relax at the present, and were not in the mood to drink tea at all.


    The Myriad Sword Sect''s old ancestor was called Qin Hongtao. At present, he currently had an enraged look as he said, "That punk called Ye Yuan is too arrogant! To actually dare detain Yan-er! I think he''s tired of living! Ning Yixian, you actually even made me spare that brat. You''re simply too ridiculous!"


    The Ning Yixian in Qin Hongtao''s words was precisely the Heavenly Martial Sect''s old ancestor.


    "According to what Taoqun they all said, this child''s talent is exceedingly freakish. He''s already matchless among the young generation! Now that the Endless World is about to fall into a catastrophe, if you kill Ye Yuan, wouldn''t it aggrieve our own and gladden the enemy?" Ning Yixian urged.


    Ning Yixian knew that Qin Yan was Qin Hongtao''s lineage grandson; the person to inherit his mantle in the future.


    Now that Qin Yan was held captive by Ye Yuan, how could Qin Hongtao not be furious?


    But at this time right now, it was totally not the time to have internal strife.


    If the Tranquil Cloud Sect was just an inconspicuous little sect, then forget it. But, Ye Yuan''s talent was too startling. Such a genius being killed by their own people, wouldn''t it be the biggest joke in the world?


    But Qin Hongtao did not think this way. Ye Yuan''s actions were simply plucking his whiskers!


    When he heard this news, Qin Hongtao wanted to go and kill people at that time but was held back by the Ning Yixian who had arrived first.


    The result was that Qin Hongtao was forcefully hurled up at Xiuming Mountain by Ning Yixian.


    "Humph! No matter how great that punk''s talent is, taking Yan-er as hostage won''t do! Unless he personally goes to the Myriad Sword Sect to kowtow and offer an apology to this old self, otherwise, this grudge isn''t over! Letting this Tranquil Cloud Sect off back then was a mistake. Now, this old man I will mend the fold after the sheep is lost, and go through the trouble of making this trip to eradicate this Tranquil Cloud Sect!" Qin Hongtao said in a towering rage.


    Ning Yixian said, "Heh, you, this old man, still have such a fiery temper! What will you do to eradicate their Tranquil Cloud Sect? You don''t wish for that beloved grandson of yours to live anymore? That boy is clearly somebody who is decisive in killing. You dare to go and exterminate his sect, he will dare to kill your grandson! Could it be that you dare to lose all decorum with him?"


    Qin Hongtao''s expression froze. Ning Yixian''s words evidently struck his soft spot.


    Yes. Ye Yuan''s move was too ruthless!


    He, Qin Hongtao, was formidable, but Qin Yan was a hostage in his hands!


    "Sigh . . . As a matter of fact, you and I both still have to thank this boy called Ye Yuan. If not for him withstanding the entire Purple Mansion Sect with his strength alone, the Fierce Gale World''s army would probably have crossed the Endless Forest already!


    Speaking up to here, Ning Yixian''s eyes revealed thick admiration too.


    If not for Ye Yuan''s appearance messing up the Purple Mansion Sect''s arrangements, after the realm passageway linked up, the Fierce Gale World would be able to march straight in, directly crossing the Endless Forest!


    "Ye Yuan this child''s merits are the greatest! Qin Hongtao, you''re a character on the level of being as weighty as Mount Tai and as brilliant as the Big Dipper. Why stoop to the level of a junior? Moreover, Qin Yan being detained was originally you all provoking first. Ye Yuan doing so was also just for the sake of self-preservation. This period at present, our three sects still need to put the interests of the whole above all else!"


    The Profound Ice Sect old ancestor, Immortal Jing Xuan, who did not speak the entire time finally opened her mouth.


    [0] The ''Immortal'' used for Immortal Jing Xuan is to describe a middle-aged fairy maiden. Just a tidbit.

 490 This Place Has Been Taken over by Us

    Jing Xuan''s evaluation of Ye Yuan could not be said to be not high.


    And in reality, Ye Yuan could live up to this appraisal as well.


    If it weren''t Ye Yuan defeating the Purple Mansion Sect thrice at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they would already have firmly controlled the Southern Domain''s situation.


    After the Fierce Gale World''s Divine Traversing Realm experts show up, the Southern Domain''s overall situation would be a foregone conclusion. They would just have to place their sights on the Northern Domain, and that would be it.


    And at that time, these people in the Northern Domain would still be unaware that the Purple Mansion Sect was the Fierce Gale World''s survivors.


    "Humph! Yan-er is still in their hands right now. How will this account be settled?"


    Not knowing why, once this Jing Xuan spoke, Qin Hongtao''s bluster fell in an instant.


    "How else can it be settled? Didn''t you detain a Sea Transformation Realm elder from the Tranquil Cloud Sect? Just send him back for them!" Ning Yixian said.


    "Fine! Send him back then! But I''ll say the nasty things first. If Yan-er has any injuries, I''m going to send an army to denounce them!" Qin Hongtao said with a black face.


    Ning Yixian waved her hand and said, "Enough nonsense! Let us discuss how to deal with the Fierce Gale World martial artists! Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect sealed off the realm passageway, and the future generations gradually forgot about this matter. To think that after several thousand years, the Fierce Gale World had yet to give up hope and staged a comeback again! Sigh . . . Speaking of which, it''s our oversight too!"


    Jing Xuan said, "Those few seniors from the Grand Yan True Sect back then deserves our admiration. Now that this heavy responsibility has fallen on our shoulders, the martial artists of our generation should follow the example of our predecessors: possess the will to die and to resist foreign enemies!"


    Although this Jing Xuan preserved her looks exceedingly well and only had the appearance of a middle-aged woman, she was actually a figure from the same generation as Qin Hongtao and Ning Yixian. She also had Peak Divine Traversing Realm strength.


    This Jing Xuan was as cold as ice, a cut from the same cloth as Yin Yanhua.


    But the words that she said had the breadth of spirit of rather to break than to bend.


    But Qin Hongtao said with frowned brows, "That might be the case, but the Fierce Gale World has a Boundless Realm expert! Once the realm passageway stabilizes fully, the Endless World will . . ."


    Speaking of Zhao Tianyin, the three people felt a heavy burden like a 30 thousand catties crushing down.


    "There''s still an issue. The Purple Mansion Sect has already laid low in the Endless World for several thousand years, experiencing countless generations of people, and already know the Endless World like the back of their hands. But we''re completely clueless about the Fierce Gale World!"


    One had to admit that the Endless World was passive everywhere right now, and virtually could not see any hope.


    These three people conversed here for a long time and also had a woebegone look.


    "Old ancestors, to say who in the Endless World understands the Fierce Gale World best, it''s none other than that Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Ye Yuan! He''d once entered deep into the Fierce Gale World and even captured a Sea Transformation Realm slave," Yin Yanhua suddenly voiced out.


    "Heh, this boy is truly an enigmatic character. No idea which hole in a rock he jumped out from either. Oh, right, speaking of this boy, has their Tranquil Cloud Sect completed their migration already?" Ning Yixian asked Guo Taoqun.


    Guo Taoqun nodded and said, "Three days ago, they already gathered in Fallen Rain City. They already sent news before coming here. Everyone from the Tranquil Cloud Sect will be gathering in Spirit Sealing City."


    Ning Yixian said with a frown, "Spirit Sealing City? That seems to be the Heavenly Evil Sect''s territory, right? What are they going there for?"


    "This . . . I don''t know," Guo Taoqun shook his head and said.


    But at this time, Yin Yanhua''s eyes glimmered slightly and voiced out, "The Heavenly Evil Sect is notorious. Burning, killing, raping, pillaging; committing all kinds of atrocities. They just happen to lack a place to settle down. Could it be . . ."


    "Not to that extent, right? Although the Heavenly Evil Sect''s strength isn''t considered much in the Northern Domain, at any rate, they have a Soul Sea Realm expert holding down the fort too. The Tranquil Cloud Sect going to do battle at an opponent''s home ground, I think taking down the Heavenly Evil Sect wouldn''t be that easy, right?"


    "Heh heh, this boy really makes people rather look forward to it! In this Northern Domain land right now, the most eye-catching is most likely this Tranquil Cloud Sect group''s movements, right? Since they have this intention, then let''s just sit tight and watch. If they really can''t, then giving them a hand is good too. That Heavenly Evil Sect, I''ve long found them an eyesore. If not for the sake of Wu Fang City, I''d have long exterminated them!"


    Speaking until the back, Ning Yixian''s tone became icy-cold. Evidently, he disliked this Heavenly Evil Sect too.


    Hearing these words, Jing Xuan nodded slightly, while Qin Hongtao snorted coldly.


    "Taoqun, Yanhua, inform the various Northern Domain''s major faction''s old ancestors as soon as possible. They are all to hurry to Wu Fang City to meet in half a month! In addition, since the Tranquil Cloud Sect has already moved north, then shut down all the transmission arrays leading to the Southern Domain! Sigh . . . This important juncture . . ." Ning Yixian instructed.


    . . . . . .


    Different from the Southern Domain, the Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and the Profound Ice Sect were not all of the Northern Domain''s forces.


    These three great sects all had peak Divine Traversing Realm old ancestors holding down the fort. So they were the strongest three great sects.


    Apart from this, there were still many forces with late-stage Divine Traversing Realm holding down the fort.


    These factions were all the Northern Domain''s peak forces!


    As for middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm and early-stage Divine Traversing Realm forces, there were many too.


    Of course, like the Heavenly Evil Sect, small sects with only a Soul Sea Realm martial artist holding down the fort were as many as oxen hair.


    This Heavenly Evil Sect''s strength was not strong. But the sect''s only Soul Sea Realm expert, Mao Yuanji, cozied up to the number one Alchemy Path faction in the Northern Domain through some means somehow.


    Hence, even though this Heavenly Evil Sect''s evil doings knew no limits, nobody dared to do anything to them either.


    At the Heavenly Evil Sect''s main peak, two silhouettes stood in the air.


    "Who are you people? Such audacity! To actually dare barge forcefully into my Heavenly Evil Sect''s main peak!"


    The one talking was a Heavenly Evil Sect elder. But his round of questioning was without any confidence whatsoever.


    These two people appeared too suddenly. There was actually not a bit of news which came from the gates.


    Furthermore, the Heavenly Evil Sect still had the sect protecting grand array guarding. If enemies came to attack, how could there possibly be no reaction at all?


    This elder instinctively sensed that these two people were not easy to deal with!


    Ye Yuan stood in the air with his hands behind his back. Lightly sweeping a glance down below, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "From today onwards, this world will no longer have the name ''Heavenly Evil Sect''! This place has been taken over by us!"


    "What? What did he say? Taken over? Hahaha! A Sea Transformation Realm brat uttering such wild ravings to take over our Heavenly Evil Sect?"


    "He even said to let our Heavenly Evil Sect''s name be removed just now! Hahaha! Is this boy soft in the head?"


    "Yeah! Our Heavenly Evil Sect is the Wu Fang City''s subordinate power. Who dares to provoke us? Heh heh, these years, how many people wanted to take down my Heavenly Evil Sect? Didn''t each and every one of them still ended up dusty and dirty in appearance?"


    Ye Yuan''s words drew a wave of guffawing.


    In their viewpoint, Ye Yuan and Luo Qingfeng were here to be a joke.


    If two people could wipe out the Heavenly Evil Sect, they would have been exterminated countless times over long ago!


    Moreover, these two people, one was First Level Soul Sea, one was Second Level Sea Transformation, which were also equivalent to the Heavenly Evil Sect''s Sect Master plus the lowest level elder''s strength.


    Remove their name?


    Being dumb, right?


    Right at this time, a black-robed man flew out from the main hall and came before Ye Yuan pair.


    "The two of you are guests from far away. But isn''t wanting to remove my Heavenly Evil Sect''s name right after coming a bit too arrogant?" said the black-robed man coldly.

 491 Your Opponent Is Him

    This black-robed man was First Level Soul Sea strength. Very clearly, he was the Heavenly Evil Sect''s sect master, Mao Yuanji.


    But the meaning in his words was some trepidation towards Luo Qingfeng.


    These two people could appear on the main peak without any signs. Presumably, they had some capabilities.


    "You''re Mao Yuanji?" Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and asked indifferently.


    When Mao Yuanji saw a Sea Transformation Realm brat being so arrogant, he was very displeased in his heart.


    "Humph! This is a conversation between Soul Sea Realms; since when it is your turn, a junior, to be presumptuous here?"


    As he said, Mao Yuanji flicked his sleeves grandly. A burst of tremendous force pushed over towards Ye Yuan, wanting to push Ye Yuan aside.


    He did this to firstly, demonstrate his means and let the other party know his power. Secondly, it was to probe just where Luo Qingfeng''s baseline lay.


    Mao Yuanji completely thought that Ye Yuan would be knocked until he was muddled by the force of this flick of his and fell down from the air. Who knew that Ye Yuan stood there without moving a muscle!


    Mao Yuanji''s eyes became wide as saucers, staring at Ye Yuan somewhat disbelievingly.


    The force of his push just now, forget about First Level Sea Transformation, even late-stage Sea Transformation would not dare say will not budge an inch either!


    This boy . . . was abnormal!


    But Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with Mao Yuanji. He said indifferently, "Ten years ago, you took fancy on West Ridge City''s Wang Family''s eldest daughter. You forcefully asked for her. The Wang Family''s eldest daughter was ready to die to preserve her chastity; she committed suicide and died. The result was that you vented your anger on the Wang Family, and you exterminated every last one of the Wang Family. Was there such a thing?"


    Mao Yuanji''s expression darkened.


    This matter naturally happened. It was not some secret in the Heavenly Evil Sect either.


    The Heavenly Evil Sect''s conduct from top to bottom when doing things had always been based on one''s own desires. Taking action to kill people at a word of disagreement was the norm.


    Back then, he took fancy on that Wang Family''s eldest daughter and made the Wang Family send their daughter over using the name of the Heavenly Evil Sect. Who knew that little girl would actually be so staunch and directly hanged herself and ended her life.


    In his rage, Mao Yuanji sent people to slaughter the Wang Family down to the last person.


    "Humph! Who the hell are you? To also be worthy of me answering?" Mao Yuanji said with a cold snort.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s performance earlier made him somewhat amazed, he still thought nothing of a First Level Sea Transformation.


    The way Mao Yuanji saw it, Luo Qingfeng was his formidable enemy.


    And Ye Yuan''s speaking tone completely made light of him. This made Mao Yuanji even more infuriated.


    If not for dreading Luo Qingfeng''s strength, Mao Yuanji would have long finished off Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not bother with Mao Yuanji and continued; he said, "Seven years ago, a Ninth Level Sea Transformation called Zhang Dongyu peddled a high-ranking spirit artifact in Spirit Sealing City. After you got the news, you snatched the treasure and killed him."


    "Five years ago . . ."


    "Four years ago . . ."


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan counted each one of Mao Yuanji''s wicked deeds in detail as if he was engaging in small talk. But everyone present could sense the cold intent in Ye Yuan''s words.


    This Mao Yuanji was simply up to the neck in crimes and misdeeds. He did not need a reason at all to murder and commit arson. Many people simply suffered an undeserved calamity.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan already had killing intent.


    Furthermore, in front of Mao Yuanji this Soul Sea Realm expert, Ye Yuan did not conceal his killing intent in the slightest!


    Could it be that this boy''s state of mind had some problems?


    "All these, should be done by you, right? You can choose not to answer. But I''ve already investigated the matters clearly. Hence, you must die today!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, there was no big deal about martial artists killing people. The martial arts world was a world where the strong feasted on the weak in the first place.


    But concerning such a character who was utterly devoid of conscience like Mao Yuanji, Ye Yuan would have a killing intent that could not be restrained when he saw them.


    This might be related to his identity as an Alchemy Emperor in his previous life. Of course, it also had to do with Ji Zhengyang''s teachings.


    Hence, in the previous life of Ye Yuan, he saved people in various situations.


    A lifetime of several hundred years, the people that Ye Yuan treated and helped simply could not be counted.


    Even though he came back to life again, this kind of thing in Ye Yuan''s bones still had no way of being erased.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Mao Yuanji laughed from extreme rage. He said, "Boy, so what if your Grandpa Mao killed a few people? Messing around for so long, you''re here to be chivalrous? Alright. Your Grandpa Mao, I, will be standing right here. You come and kill for me to see! A brat still wet behind his ears running in front of your Grandpa Mao to posture, you have to see if you have that capability or not too!"


    By now, Mao Yuanji also knew that these people came with ill-intentions. This matter most likely could not be settled.


    But if it was just a Soul Sea Realm, he could still handle it.


    This punk did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. The Heavenly Evil Sect still had quite a few high-level Sea Transformation Realms waiting for him.


    Furthermore, the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples'' methods were extremely bizarre, impossible to guard against. Such a young brat dared to run over here to learn how to be chivalrous from others, seemed to be really kicked in the head by a donkey!


    Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "Whether I have the capability or not, you''ll know right away! Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!"


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s aura released fully, and he broke through to Fifth Level Sea Transformation very swiftly!


    After the fight with Dai Yuhen, Ye Yuan likewise benefited a great deal and consolidated his realm very quickly.


    After coming to the Northern Domain, Ye Yuan''s cultivation progress was not the slightest bit slow as well. He finally broke through to Second Level Sea Transformation yesterday!


    Battling a Soul Sea Realm expert again today, Ye Yuan clearly had more assurance!


    Seeing Ye Yuan break through three minor realms instantly, Mao Yuanji''s pupils involuntarily constricted. But very soon, he said with a cold laugh, "This is your reliance? Hahaha! You''re not thinking that by bringing along a Fifth Level Sea Transformation, you can wipe out my Heavenly Evil Sect, right?"


    The latter half of the sentence, Mao Yuanji directed it to Luo Qingfeng.


    In his opinion, Luo Qingfeng was going to assist Ye Yuan to fight with him here.


    But they were wrong, right? Could it be they think that the Heavenly Evil Sect only had him alone?


    However, Luo Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, "Your opponent is him. As long as others don''t intervene, I won''t be taking action."


    When Luo Qingfeng''s voice faded, the crowd was shocked!


    "Are these two people morons? To let a Sea Transformation Realm challenge a Soul Sea Realm?"


    "Even if it was to temper juniors, there''s no need to send him to death either, right? This boy is the same; he''s a complete idiot. A senior made him go and challenge a Soul Sea Realm, and he really went to challenge the person?"


    "I''m already in a mess. Hahaha! Too hilarious! I''m dying of laughter!"


    After the astonishment, it was a series of mockery.


    In these peoples'' view, these two were purely madmen.


    But Mao Yuanji narrowed his eyes slightly as he said with a cold smile, "You''re sure to only let him take action?"


    Luo Qingfeng chuckled, and his figure flashed but withdrew several hundred feet away, expressing his stance.


    Such a distance, if Ye Yuan was really in any danger, Luo Qingfeng simply could not rescue in time.


    This attitude was already very clear!


    He really did not care about these two people''s fight!


    Mao Yuanji grinned hideously and said, "To think that Grandpa Mao, I, am actually being belittled by a Sea Transformation Realm brat. Hahaha! However . . . I like your ignorance! I''ll let you know what is called despair!"


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, raising the Canghua Sword in his hand. A bout of terrifying power undulated out!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!

 492 Ridding of Evil

    "What? That . . . That''s condensed form of gathered essence? I-isn''t he Sea Transformation Realm?"


    "Is this messing with me? How can Sea Transformation Realm martial artists possibly achieve condensing form of gathered essence?"


    "No wonder this boy dared to be so arrogant. Turns out that he actually already learned how to condense form of gathered essence!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s Myriad Rain Sword Blades being initiated, the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples all burst into an uproar.


    Same as during incident at Breaking Dawn City, this unexpected scene made everyone draw in a cold breath.


    A Sea Transformation Realm being able to achieve condensing form of gathered essence, it was truly too freakish!


    Mao Yuanji''s expression changed greatly, and he hastily employed his cultivation method to the extreme!


    Although Mao Yuanji was a Soul Sea Realm expert, he was just the lowest level existence among Soul Sea Realms. He had not even grasped condensing form of gathered essence.


    Something that he, a Soul Sea Realm, did not grasp, this Sea Transformation Realm youth before him actually grasped it!


    This was too unbelievable!


    However, Mao Yuanji simply had no time to think so much. He could only erupt with all of his strength and crush Ye Yuan''s condensed form of gathered essence using his powerful cultivation realm.


    "Fire Immolating Heretic Cloud!"


    Mao Yuanji gave an explosive roar. The entire stretch of the sky seemed to be burning. The horrifying flames swept towards Ye Yuan like a fire snake, wanting to devour Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort. Myriad Rain Sword Blades erupted abruptly!


    Although the sword blade phantoms were not large, its power was unparalleled.


    Those myriad sword blades actually sliced the fire snake to a disorderly mess. By the time it arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it simply had not much power left already.


    Compared to Dai Yuhen''s With Cranes, Immortal Comes, this Fire Immolating Heretic Cloud technique simply paled in comparison.


    But Mao Yuanji was a Soul Sea Realm expert after all. His attack still annihilated quite a number of sword blades.


    It was just that the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Ye Yuan was much greater in strength again compared to the last time.


    When one aspect was weaker, the others will be stronger. How could Mao Yuanji neutralize this attack fully?


    There was still a large portion of the sword blades that penetrated Mao Yuanji''s attack, stabbing directly on Mao Yuanji''s body!


    "Argh!"


    Mao Yuanji''s protective essence energy could not withstand a single blow at all under the condensed sword blades of gathered essence. He was being stabbed full of holes like a wasp nest in an instant.


    After the tragic cry, Mao Yuanji''s corpse dropped down from the air, landing heavily on the ground.


    Killed in one blow!


    The Heavenly Evil Sect disciples had yet to understand what was going on, and Ye Yuan already killed Mao Yuanji!


    "I . . . My eyesight isn''t failing, right? Sect . . . Sect Master he was actually killed by a Sea Transformation Realm brat?"


    "Sect Master he actually lost for real! We were still ridiculing the two of them for being fools just now. To think that they actually really had the strength to crush the Heavenly Evil Sect!"


    "This boy is truly too terrifying! A Sea Transformation Realm could actually unleash such a horrifying attack! It could even cut down a Soul Sea Realm expert!"


    "He . . . He''s not going to kill all of us, right?"


    The Heavenly Evil Sect disciples still did not dare to believe it until now. The Lord Sect Master who was ever-victorious in their eyes was actually killed by a Sea Transformation Realm brat that popped out from god knows where!


    By the time they understood it, their first reaction was boundless fear.


    Like the saying: a crooked stick would have a crooked shadow. Mao Yuanji this person was not some good person. How could they, these people, be any better?


    After the one move finished casting, Ye Yuan''s complexion was rather pale. But compared to that time with Dai Yuhen, it was quite a lot better.


    Seeing this scene, Luo Qingfeng felt overcome by a vicissitude of emotions too.


    After arriving at the Northern Domain, hearing Tian Yu they all mention that Ye Yuan actually defeated a Soul Sea Realm expert in Breaking Dawn City, they were shocked until their eyeballs nearly fell out.


    Only after seeing Ye Yuan slew a Soul Sea Realm expert by condensing form of gathered essence with his own eyes today, did Luo Qingfeng truly witness Ye Yuan''s strength.


    In combat power, Ye Yuan already surpassed him, this Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master!


    Which was also to say that the Second Level Sea Transformation Ye Yuan was already the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s most powerful existence!


    Although Luo Qingfeng was not an ordinary First Level Soul Sea too, he had yet to grasp condensing form of gathered essence as well.


    Even though he speculated that he could defeat this Mao Yuanji, he absolutely could not achieve a kill so clean and neat like Ye Yuan!


    He came today only for the sake of cheering Ye Yuan on and to awe the rest of the Heavenly Evil Sect a little.


    "Young hero, spare us! T-Those things were all Mao Yuanji instigated us to do! We couldn''t help ourselves too!"


    "Yeah! It was all Mao Yuanji! We had no choice but to do as compelled too!"


    "Young hero, spare us!"


    Now, it was only to hear thudding sounds echoing everywhere. Those Heavenly Evil Sect disciples with things to hide all kneeled down, begging Ye Yuan to let them go. The wailing sounds joined together.


    These people saw that Mao Yuanji died. They just pushed all of the wrongdoings to him altogether, condemning in speech and writing for a time, gushing until Mao Yuanji this dead person wasn''t worth a cent.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh, "Heh heh, what a fine ''could not help being forced.'' Rest assured, as long as your crimes don''t deserve death, I won''t pursue it. But those fiendish monsters who perpetrate every conceivable crime better end yourselves early. Or else . . . there will be suffering!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, some people shuddered all over.


    ''There will be suffering,'' these four words was like a sharp sword, stabbing into their hearts all at once.


    That taste of being unable to pray for life nor beg for death, they had made others experience it in the past. Now . . . was it going to be their turn?


    Who cares. As long as they insisted that they did not do misdeeds before, could it be that he could even search souls one by one?


    Ye Yuan seemed to know what these people were thinking of and said with a cold smile, "Don''t think about telling lies to deceive me! It''s useless!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan fished out several medicinal pills and said, "These are Truth Pills. After eating, whatever I ask you, you will say it. Therefore . . . better give up on this."


    Many Heavenly Evil Sect disciples'' faces all changed. There was still such a miraculous medicinal pill in this world?


    When they heard this kind of effect, most people''s faces all had disbelief.


    But there were ultimately still people who could not resist Ye Yuan''s pressure and exploded!


    "Everybody quickly run! It''s death either way! One being able to escape counts as one! I don''t believe that he can kill all of us!" A Sea Transformation Realm elder cried out.


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. What he wanted was this kind of situation.


    Interrogating one by one was so bothersome. This saved a great deal of trouble.


    Seeing those recklessly fleeing figures, flower petals swiftly formed in the air.


    "Argh!"


    "Argh!"


    "Argh!"


    Miserable cries linked up together. Each and every one of the Heavenly Evil Sect disciples either fell from the air or were directly killed on the ground.


    The Thousand Flowing Petals were like a bunch of sickles, easily reaping these martial artists'' lives.


    These people were all people who deserved to be killed!


    After several dozen breaths, the Heavenly Evil Sect''s main peak suddenly quietened down.


    There were already not many people left. As long as they stood still without moving, none of them died.


    "Alright. From today onwards, the Heavenly Evil Sect''s name will be expunged from the Northern Domain! And this place will serve as my Tranquil Cloud Sect''s stronghold! I still have that sentence: as long as your crimes don''t deserve death, I won''t do anything to you. So much so that if you all didn''t join in their vile deeds, the Tranquil Cloud Sect can even take you all in!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

 493 Let Him Wait!

    At the early phase of the Tranquil Cloud Sect being established, a thousand things needed to be done.


    These days, on the one hand, the Tranquil Cloud Sect was so busy from top to bottom that their feet did not seem to touch the ground.


    On the other hand, the Tranquil Cloud Sect needed to take over the Heavenly Evil Sect''s zone of influence. They also needed to contact the various major subordinate forces.


    For another, inside the sect reeked of a foul atmosphere caused by Mao Yuanji. There were too many things that needed to be tidied up anew.


    Mao Yuanji''s residence was like a palace. When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples went over to search, there was actually still a large group of concubines, each one of them beautiful as a flower.


    These women were mostly forcefully abducted by Mao Yuanji. They naturally had to let them go.


    And Ye Yuan was generally unconcerned with these mundane affairs. He revamped the Heavenly Evil Sect''s original sect protecting grand array and then entered closed-seclusion to cultivate by himself.


    Although the Heavenly Evil Sect''s sect protecting grand array could not compare to the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Yin-Yang Turbid Heaven Grand Array, the former was a middle-grade Tier 4 grand array.


    Through Ye Yuan''s improvement, it could still accomplish withstanding middle-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists.


    While Ye Yuan busied these few days, there was a pair of eyes silently observing him from behind from start to end.


    "Clearly two people. But why . . . do I keep on superimposing the two of them together?"


    Yue Mengli frequently watched that back view, staring in a daze. Her thoughts drifted god knows where too.


    But being together with Ye Yuan these few days, Ye Yuan frequently helped her to concoct some divine soul nourishing medication. Her illness did not flare up again.


    Unknowingly, Yue Mengli developed a liking for the feeling from staying by Ye Yuan''s side. This made her very at ease.


    Yue Mengli even felt that it would be good if this kind of days could carry on continuously.


    However, busy yet peaceful days like this was very quickly shattered.


    Just several days after the Tranquil Cloud Sect replaced the Heavenly Evil Sect, an uninvited guest came to the new Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "Wu Fang City''s patrolling inspector, Bao Sangui is here! Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people quickly come and welcome!"


    Outside the gates, a voice penetrated the grand array, reverberating throughout the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "Wu Fang City? Actually came so quickly? Martial Uncle, what should we do?" Hearing this voice, Luo Qingfeng said with a frown.


    Skymaple just happened to be present too. Hearing that, he knitted his brows as well and said, "The Heavenly Evil Sect was the Wu Fang City''s subordinate faction to begin with. I heard that Mao Yuanji and Wu Fang City even has a thousand and one links. Originally, I still thought that with the Fierce Gale World''s invasion near at hand, they have no time to bother with us. To think that they actually came so quickly! This is quite troublesome! Quickly send people to inform Ye Yuan!"


    "No need. I''m already here." Ye Yuan''s voice came from the main hall''s entrance.


    There were too many trivial matters recently. Ye Yuan was not in terminal seclusion either. That Bao Sangui''s voice could obviously be heard.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple both heaved a sigh in relief.


    No idea since when, they actually already started looking to Ye Yuan for instructions.


    This kind of shift was unconsciously influenced. Even they themselves were not aware of it either.


    Ever since after Ye Yuan came back from the Fierce Gale World, his status in the Tranquil Cloud Sect could no longer be replaced by anyone.


    From then until now, all the major and minor matters in the sect, Ye Yuan practically had the final say in all.


    Even exterminating the Heavenly Evil Sect this time, it was also the location chosen by Ye Yuan.


    Actually, Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple both proposed to find a slightly weaker sect to replace. But Ye Yuan stubbornly clung to his view. The reason was that the Heavenly Evil Sect committed many evil deeds. Heaven did not take care of the Heavenly Evil Sect, then the Tranquil Cloud Sect would do it!


    Right now, even though Luo Qingfeng returned, this kind of momentum carried on as well.


    Compared to Luo Qingfeng, Ye Yuan was a little more like a sect master right now.


    But regarding Ye Yuan''s special kind of status, Luo Qingfeng and the rest did not grumble about anything.


    Because they all knew that Ye Yuan totally did not belong to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. The talk of him fighting for power and money simply did not exist.


    Everything that Ye Yuan did right now was all for the sake of the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "Ye Yuan, this Wu Fang City''s patrolling inspector . . ." Luo Qingfeng asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Whatever nonsense patrolling inspector. Since our Tranquil Cloud Sect replaced the Heavenly Evil Sect, we''ll be an independent sect in the future! Being vassals to anyone doesn''t exist!"


    "But . . . what about that Bao Sangui?"


    "Just let him wait! He likes to throw his weight around and then give it a good throw outside the sect gates. Ignore him. Just a lousy whatever patrolling inspector and he wants us to go out of the sect to welcome him? Who does he think he is?"


    Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple exchanged glances, both unconsciously sucking in a deep breath.


    Only Ye Yuan dare to say such doughty words.


    This patrolling inspector wasn''t much. But the Wu Fang City behind him was the Northern Domain''s top major faction!


    They could exterminate the Tranquil Cloud Sect down to the last person by casually sending out an expert.


    Seemingly detecting Luo Qingfeng and the rest''s worries, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Grand Elder and Sect Master need not worry. While Wu Fang City is powerful, to the present Endless World, my status is irreplaceable. So, this little matter, Wu Fang City won''t blame us. Even if they really placed blame, there will also be people blocking on our behalf."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan left the main hall.


    Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple exchanged looks, both did not understand.


    Although Ye Yuan was monstrous, he was also just a Sea Transformation Realm. Even if he could defeat Soul Sea Realm experts, in this war which engulfed the two worlds, what part could he play?


    . . . . . .


    Bao Sangui waited outside the gates for an hour and shouted many more times again. The Tranquil Cloud Sect actually did not even have a reply!


    As the Wu Fang City''s patrolling inspector, no matter where Bao Sangui walked to, he was always waited upon as a distinguished guest.


    In the past when coming to the Heavenly Evil Sect, Mao Yuanji would come out to greet him personally from far away.


    But now, this whatever dog f*rt Tranquil Cloud Sect actually dared to shove him to one side!


    Utterly preposterous!


    A few days ago, Bao Sangui was patrolling right around the area and just happened to hear the news of the Heavenly Evil Sect being wiped out. He was taken aback with shock right then.


    This Heavenly Evil Sect had been around for quite a long time. Under Wu Fang City''s protection, although they did many things which went against heaven and reason, nobody dared to touch them either.


    Mao Yuanji knew how to get along with people very well. It was also uncertain what relations he went through to become acquainted with the Third Young Master.


    These few years, the complaints to Wu Fang City were not few in number but were suppressed by the Third Young Master.


    Who would have thought that a tiny sect which popped out from God knows where actually eradicated the Heavenly Evil Sect!


    Exterminated then let them be exterminated. He himself already made his identity clear, but those bunch of fellows actually did not have a single person come out to welcome!


    Utterly preposterous!


    Preposterous!


    Bao Sangui berated countless times over fiercely in his heart!


    "Humph! Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Today, I''ll carry out the duty of this patrolling inspector and destroy this tiny sect of yours!"


    Bao Sangui was a Fifth Level Soul Sea expert. He already inquired about it before coming. The strongest in this Tranquil Cloud Sect was but a First Level Soul Sea.


    With his strength, destroying this sect was something effortless.


    The Heavenly Evil Sect''s sect protecting grand array, Bao Sangui knew in his heart too that it was basically the same as nothing to him.


    Bao Sangui arrived in front of the grand array, mustered up the essence energy in his entire body, and launched an attack abruptly!


    Boom!


    A tremendous backlash blasted Bao Sangui flying out several thousand feet!

 494 Hero Invitation

    "Puhwark!"


    Bao Sangui spurted a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs were actually wounded by the enormous backlash power.


    "This grand array . . . how can it be so strong?" Bao Sangui muttered under his breath.


    Originally he thought to take this Tranquil Cloud Sect down a notch. Who knew that he would be knocked out a mouthful of his teeth?


    Bao Sangui stood outside the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates but was unbelievably embarrassed.


    He, a distinguished patrolling inspector, acting out a play outside other people''s gates alone. Simply disgraced all the way home.


    But for him to return to Wu Fang City like this, how would he give an account to his higher-ups?


    The Heavenly Evil Sect was destroyed, and he, this patrolling inspector, did not even know who destroyed it. There was no way to report after returning. After all, his duty was to give an account to Wu Fang City at all times about its subordinate forces'' matters.


    Although the Heavenly Evil Sect was replaced by such a tiny sect, it was not something of a big deal to Wu Fang City. But he, Bao Sangui, ultimately could not avoid a crime of oversight.


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people, listen up! You people offending me, this patrolling inspector, is equivalent to offending Wu Fang City! Within the next few days, Wu Fang City will send experts over and exterminate you bunch of fools who don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Bao Sangui felt disgraced, and he could not resist leaving a vicious sentence.


    But this was not threatening the Tranquil Cloud Sect either. This place was in the scope of Wu Fang City''s influence after all. They could not possibly passively watch a disobedient sect gain a foothold here.


    Bao Sangui had sufficient confidence to return and request for even stronger martial artists forward, and wipe out the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    However, there was still nobody who responded to Bao Sangui''s ruthless words.


    Courting a rebuff, Bao Sangui also knew that he could not do anything to the Tranquil Cloud Sect and could only plan on leaving with a dejected face.


    "Reckon that it''s a bunch of hillbillies from the countryside, right? Wu Fang City''s might, you probably can''t imagine it! Humph! Just wait for death, you all!"


    Bao Sangui cursed and swore, then turned around and wanted to leave.


    "Bao Sangui, why are you here?"


    Bao Sangui was just about to leave but ran into a person straight ahead.


    Seeing the arrival, Bao Sangui could not help being overjoyed!


    "Brother Zihui, you came just in time!"


    Wu Fang City''s sphere of influence was very large. So the patrolling inspectors were also divided into levels.


    Bao Sangui''s middle-stage Soul Sea Realm strength was already considered not bad. But, he was just a second-class patrolling inspector as well. While this Xu Zihui in front of him was Wu Fang City''s first-class patrolling inspector!


    This Xu Zihui''s Ninth Level Soul Sea strength was an exceedingly powerful existence when looking at the Northern Domain too.


    With him and Xu Zihui joining hands, he had faith that breaking this Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sect protecting grand array should be nothing difficult.


    Seeing Bao Sangui''s appearance, Xu Zihui frowned and said, "Sangui, why are you hurt? Within my Wu Fang City''s sphere of influence, is it possible that there are still people who dare to attack you?"


    Mentioning this, Bao Sangui said with an enraged look, "Who else can there be? It''s this Tranquil Cloud Sect that popped out from god knows where!"


    Seeing Xu Zihui, Bao Sangui''s stomach full of grievance finally had a target to vent.


    Hence, he described the process of his ''humiliation,'' becoming more indignant as he talked.


    "Brother Zihui, luckily, I ran into you today. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t know how to make a report this trip back! This Tranquil Cloud Sect has absolutely zero respect for my Wu Fang City! Today, you and I brothers will join forces, and we will bathe this Tranquil Cloud Sect in blood!" Bao Sangui said indignantly.


    Bao Sangui said it enthusiastically. But he could not help looking over to Xu Zihui; he noticed Xu Zihui was currently looking at him with strange eyes.


    "What, Brother Zihui? Is there anything wrong?" Bao Sangui finally discovered a hint of something wrong.


    Xu Zihui patted Bao Sangui''s shoulder and heaved a sigh, saying, "You haven''t returned to Wu Fang City recently and don''t know what major issue happened in the Northern Domain."


    Bao Sangui was dazed and could not help asking, "Major issue? What major thing happened? Could it be . . . related to that earthquake and mountains shaking from a while back?"


    This matter of the Fierce Gale World invading, at present, was still only limited to those top figures in the Northern Domain who knew.


    Bao Sangui was always patrolling outside. Although he felt that the tremor that time was very seldom seen, he did not take it to heart either.


    Xu Zihui nodded and said, "Actually, that earthquake was because the realm passageway between the Endless World and the Fierce Gale World had completely linked together. Now, Fierce Gale World martial artists already occupy the entire Southern Domain. This time, the three sects, Myriad Sword Sect, Heavenly Martial Sect, and Profound Ice Sect, sent out rarely-seen, jointly-signed hero invitations to convene the Northern Domain''s various major forces'' chiefs to gather in Wu Fang City and discuss ways to deal with the Fierce Gale World."


    "What?! S-Such a major thing actually happened?!"


    Bao Sangui was taken aback with shock by Xu Zihui''s words. This kind of thing like another world invading could be said to not be encountered for several thousand years to ordinary martial artists. How could Bao Sangui not be shocked?


    Xu Zihui nodded his head with a grave expression and said, "Just looking at the present circumstances, the situation is very unfavorable to our Endless World!"


    "Hiss . . ." Bao Sangui drew in a cold breath. His mind was somewhat in a disorderly mess.


    Suddenly, he recalled something and asked Xu Zihui, "But what has this got to do with Tranquil Cloud Sect?"


    Xu Zihui gave a bitter smile and said, "I''m here this time to issue a hero invitation to Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    "WHAT?!"


    Bao Sangui really jumped up this time.


    This news astonished him even more than another world''s invasion.


    A tiny sect with only First Level Soul Sea Realms, what could issuing them a hero invitation do?


    Thinking up to here, Bao Sangui could not help sweating profusely.


    "B-Brother Zihui, as far as I know, this Tranquil Cloud Sect only has two Soul Sea Realm experts. Among them, there''s even an Alchemy King. Why would the three sects issue hero invitations to such a tiny faction?"


    Xu Zihui forced another smile and shrugged his hands, saying, "You ask me, but who do I ask? The name list was drawn up by the three sects and is issued under the three sects plus Wu Fang City''s name. How much of what goes on behind the scenes do you think that minor characters like us can understand? Such a major matter, even early-stage Divine Traversing Realm experts might not have the right to speak either!"


    Bao Sangui was somewhat dejected as he said, "Then . . . Then the Heavenly Evil Sect''s matters are dropped just like this? But . . . how should Third Young Master''s side be given an account?"


    Xu Zihui said crossly, "What kind of time is it already, still talking about Heavenly Evil Sect? If the Fierce Gale World attacks, even Wu Fang City might not be able to be defended. What the h*ll does a puny little Heavenly Evil Sect count as?! Moreover, this hero invitation is already given out. No matter how great Third Young Master is, he isn''t greater than City Lord, His Excellency, either, right? Characters able to receive this hero invitation aren''t who you and I can afford to offend!"


    Bao Sangui opened his mouth but did not speak in the end too.


    Yeah. Characters that could receive the hero invitation were not who a minor character like him can afford to offend!


    "Fine then. This time, I, Old Bao, admit to my bad luck! However . . . since you''re delivering the hero invitation, how about I go in together with you? I''m really curious right now just who in his tiny sect actually has such tremendous capabilities!" Bao Sangui said.


    Xu Zihui nodded and said, "Alright. But you must remember, regardless of what kind of person the other party is, apologize first when you see the master! Otherwise, screwing up this errand isn''t what you and I can afford to bear! The matter concerns the entire Endless World''s safety. You and I are merely minor characters in this!"


    Bao Sangui struggled for a bit but still nodded his head.

 495 Those Who Should Be Here Are Here

    "Wu Fang City''s first-class patrolling inspector, Xu Zihui, specially came here to request an audience with Lord Ye Yuan under City Lord''s orders, and to deliver the three sects and Wu Fang City''s jointly signed and issued hero invitation," Xu Zihui came in front of the gates and called out in a clear voice.


    After finished talking, Xu Zihui stood with his hands by the side, silently waiting for Tranquil Cloud Sect''s response.


    "Lord Ye Yuan? Who is that? Never heard before that the Northern Domain has such a character. Is he the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master?" Bao Sangui asked curiously.


    But Xu Zihui shook his head and said, "I don''t know either. Before coming, City Lord, His Excellency, personally passed the hero invitation to my hands, and told me this name Ye Yuan, making sure that I invite him cordially. As for who this Ye Yuan is, what he looks like, what kind of strength he has, I''m clueless."


    The more Xu Zihui said so, the more curious Bao Sangui was.


    But in his view now, this Tranquil Cloud Sect being so unbridled had the capital to be unbridled too.


    A character that could let City Lord, His Excellency, personally instructed to invite cordially was bound to not be an ordinary person. Him meeting a rebuff was also something within reason.


    Thinking up to here, Bao Sangui made up his mind with even more certainty to apologize properly in a while.


    . . . . . .


    Before long, a Crystal Formation Realm disciple welcomed the two people in.


    Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui entered the main hall. On the left-hand side sat an old man and a middle-aged man. A youth sat on the right side.


    Xu Zihui swept a glance at the few people''s cultivations. The elderly person and middle-aged man were both Soul Sea Realm experts, while that young man was only Sea Transformation Realm Sea Transformation.


    Seeing such a line-up, Xu Zihui''s heart unwittingly thumped.


    Could the ones City Lord made him find be these several people?


    But what part could such strength play in the war between two worlds?


    However, he also asked Bao Sangui before coming in. The strongest in the Tranquil Cloud Sect was merely First Level Soul Sea. Seeing these three people now, it was not too unexpected either.


    Be that as it may, Xu Zihui did not dare to slight them and still gave a bow towards Luo Qingfeng and said, "First-class patrolling inspector under Wu Fang City Lord''s command, Xu Zihui, pays respect to Lord Ye Yuan!"


    "Second-class patrolling inspector under Wu Fang City Lord''s command, Bao Sangui, pays respect to Lord Ye Yuan. That . . . This Bao didn''t know the inside story earlier and offended Lord Ye Yuan. I hope that Lord Ye Yuan can pardon my offense!" Bao Sangui gave a bow too and said.


    Luo Qingfeng''s face was somewhat unnatural, but it was not because these two people identified the wrong person!


    A Ninth Level Soul Sea and a Fourth Level Soul Sea bowing towards him seriously made him feel immense pressure!


    But Ye Yuan gave him a meaningful look to calm down. Luo Qingfeng could only just do his best to keep a calm exterior.


    "Haha. The two of you identified the wrong person. He is Ye Yuan," Luo Qingfeng forced a smile and said.


    Honestly speaking, facing Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui, especially Xu Zihui, even if he did not deliberately give off the power of a Ninth Level Soul Sea, it still made Luo Qingfeng feel fidgety.


    Such an existence could blot them out with just one hand.


    The reason why the other party was standing here talking to them courteously was entirely that of Ye Yuan.


    Once Luo Qingfeng''s words were said, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were both greatly startled.


    The person that City Lord, His Excellency, made him invite cordially was actually this young man who did not look older than 16 to 17 years old. His strength was not beyond Second Level Sea Transformation?


    This . . . This was too absurd, right?


    Xu Zihui was a little more dignified in the end and hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Xu Zihui has seen Lord Ye Yuan!"


    Only then did Bao Sangui react and hastily gave a bow too. He gave an apology to Ye Yuan once more.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand, indicating that this incident was considered over. But he asked Xu Zihui, "That hero invitation that you mentioned, what''s the deal?"


    Xu Zihui hurriedly retrieved a bright red invitation and handed it up. Ye Yuan opened it, swept a glance over, then closed it.


    "You go back and tell City Lord, His Excellency, say that Ye Yuan can go, but the sect''s elder is still imprisoned and is truly not in the mood to bother with other things. Gentlemen, please return," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "This . . ." Xu Zihui did not think that Ye Yuan would actually reply like this.


    Xu Zihui was somewhat baffled, uncertain what Ye Yuan was doing here.


    Wu Fang City Lord personally issued an invitation to invite a Sea Transformation Realm. This was such unparalleled glory. This boy was unexpectedly still putting on airs!


    A sect elder of yours was actually even more important than City Lord, His Excellency''s invitation?


    Looking at this small sect, the elders were also merely Sea Transformation Realm too.


    Could a minor character like this compare to the great matter of the Endless World''s survival or downfall?


    Xu Zihui was rather displeased in his heart. But, recalling City Lord, His Excellency''s reminding him previously, he still forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.


    Furthermore, Xu Zihui was a shrewd person too. He had long seen that the actual person in charge of the Tranquil Cloud Sect was actually this young man called Ye Yuan before his eyes!


    A Second Level Sea Transformation was actually so assuming in front of two Soul Sea Realms. And those two people still had a look of not a single grumble. This youth called Ye Yuan was indeed not that simple.


    Actually, seeing Ye Yuan being so assertive, Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple''s hearts were both thumping.


    It was not that they were unconcerned about Mei Zhen''s safety. It was just that their Tranquil Cloud Sect seriously did not have much capital to bargain within the Northern Domain.


    Experts roamed like clouds here. A random one that came could wipe out the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    "Zihui is slow-witted. Can Lord Ye Yuan express things clearly? Not afraid of Lord Ye Yuan laughing, but City Lord, His Excellency, repeatedly exhorted before coming to definitely invite you over. But now . . ." Xu Zihui revealed a difficult intent.


    When he was talking, Xu Zihui could clearly sense Luo Qingfeng and Skymaple''s nervousness. But this young man called Ye Yuan actually treated him like air!


    Such composure was absolutely not feigned!


    It was just that Xu Zihui could not figure out even after racking his brain just where this young man''s confidence lie!


    Ye Yuan shot Xu Zihui a nonchalant glance and was suddenly a little clearer as he said, "Since that''s the case, both of you stay here for a few days first. After this Ye welcomes back the sect elder, I''ll go together with the two of you."


    "This . . . The meet will be happening in a couple of days. Delaying several days like this isn''t good, right?" Xu Zihui said depressedly.


    He discovered that in front of this Sea Transformation Realm, he actually could not grasp the slightest initiative to speak.


    Right at this time, another voice sounded out again.


    "Myriad Sword Sect''s envoy, Fu Zonghu, requests an audience!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned, then became delighted right away, "Heh heh, really just so happened that what should come, came together today. Saved quite a bit of trouble too. Brother Xu, since this Myriad Sword Sect envoy came, it can be assumed that I can leave with you guys today."


    Xu Zihui was uncertain what it meant. Why did it strike up a relation with Myriad Sword Sect too?


    But that name Fu Zonghu, Xu Zihui had heard it before. When he heard this voice earlier, he was startled in his heart, and his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan underwent a transformation once more.


    This Fu Zonghu was a Myriad Sword Sect''s Divine Traversing Realm expert!


    What matters actually troubled his grand presence?


    Even though the Northern Domain had many Divine Traversing Realm experts, the status of Divine Traversing Realm experts was exceedingly high. They generally did not show face easily.


    One had to know that Divine Traversing Realm experts had sufficient strength to establish a sect!

 496 Unrivaled

    Returning to the Tranquil Cloud Sect once again, Mei Zhen truly felt like a lifetime had passed.


    It was only after being detained by the Myriad Sword Sect that Mei Zhen know that the ones who nearly caused the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s destruction back then was actually this Myriad Sword Sect!


    Him reporting the name of his sect was simply sending sheep to the tiger''s maw.


    Those few days when he was just detained, his essence energy was sealed, and he did the lowest chores in the Myriad Sword Sect. Whatever dirty work or tiring work would be done by him.


    He originally thought that he would be tormented to death like this very soon. Who knew that after several days, the Myriad Sword Sect people not only removed his essence energy seal, they even provided good food and drinks for him.


    Although he had no way to leaving the Myriad Sword Sect, compared to the days before, it was simply immortal-like.


    All the way until a couple of days ago, Fu Zonghu found him and told him with a mild tone that he was going to send him back to the sect personally.


    Mei Zhen first thought that he heard wrongly. When he confirmed that this was not a hallucination, it brought him great agitation.


    Furthermore, this in front of him was a Divine Traversing Realm expert!


    Fu Zonghu actually used a consulting manner of speaking when talking to him.


    What was this playing at?


    But on this trip, Fu Zonghu did not say why they released him back either.


    Although he was very courteous when talking, upon mention of this matter, he was always vague.


    But Mei Zhen did not haggle over this either. To be able to return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he was already very satisfied.


    "Grand Elder! Sect Master! You . . . You guys actually came back!"


    When Mei Zhen saw Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng, he was stunned speechless.


    These two people were thrown in jail. With the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s strength, how could they possibly be rescued?


    Even if Ye Yuan''s present combat strength was astonishing, it was not possible to charge all the way to the Heavenly Sky Sect''s Towering Peak either and rescue these two people, right?


    "Huhu, same as you, we could return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect all due to Ye Yuan''s credit!" Skymaple said with a faint smile.


    "Ye . . . Ye Yuan!"


    It was really Ye Yuan!


    But how on earth did he accomplish it? Mei Zhen was even more perplexed.


    "Alright. We''ll talk in detail later. There are still guests around," Skymaple said smilingly.


    Mei Zhen was dazed, then nodded his head and retreated to one side.


    There were still Gu Tianyou and Li Junjie standing behind Fu Zonghu. They were familiar with the situation here, so Fu Zonghu brought them along.


    Fu Zonghu came before Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "You''re Ye Yuan, right? Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! This Heavenly Evil Sect''s matters, I heard about it. You actually directly killed the First Level Soul Sea Realm Mao Yuanji with Second Level Sea Transformation Realm strength! Truly inconceivable!"


    Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were greatly taken aback with shock when they heard these words!


    Sea Transformation Realm killing Soul Sea Realm?


    This . . . Was this really accomplished by the teenage youth before their eyes?


    The pair exchanged looks, both reading the astonishment in the other party''s eyes!


    No wonder the City Lord, His Excellency, attached such importance to this Ye Yuan. Such terrifying talent, not regarding him highly would be weird!


    Those top juniors in the Northern Domain might not be on par with this young man before their eyes either!


    But Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Senior is too kind. Ye Yuan''s meager strength is most likely not worth mentioning in front of Senior."


    Fu Zonghu smiled slightly and opened his mouth and said, "We''ve already sent him back. Shouldn''t you keep your word as well?"


    "That is so, of course."


    Ye Yuan was not melodramatic too. He lightly formed seals, releasing Qin Yan.


    Seeing Qin Yan, the others were still fine, but Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were so shocked that their eyeballs nearly popped out.


    They finally knew what those incomprehensible words of Ye Yuan''s meant just now.


    This boy actually detained the Myriad Sword Sect''s old ancestor''s lineage grandson as a hostage to use to exchange for a puny little elder from his own sect!


    How was this touching the tiger''s whiskers? This was simply directly plucking out the tiger''s whiskers!


    Although that Myriad Sword Sect''s old ancestor was elusive in his whereabouts, his legends in the Northern Domain were still plenty.


    It was said that that old ancestor''s temper was very explosive. But now, he actually swallowed his pride and endured in silence, and he really sent the person back!


    Xu Zihui sucked in a deep breath. He finally knew why the City Lord valued Ye Yuan so highly.


    This young man was simply heaven-defying!


    Since the three sects and Wu Fang City jointly issued hero invitations, it meant that the Myriad Sword Sect''s old ancestor already let bygones be bygones regarding this matter.


    Did this boy stumble randomly, making use of the Fierce Gale World invading this node? Or did he plotted long ago?


    If he schemed long ago, then this boy''s mind was also too monstrous!


    Fu Zonghu saw that Qin Yan only had his essence energy sealed and did not have any injuries other than that. A boulder in his heart finally landed too.


    According to Qin Hongtao''s intentions, as long as Qin Yan had any hint of injury, he would definitely make Tranquil Cloud Sect pay the price!


    But before he came, Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan both came to find him and made him to never take action against the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    This put him in an incredibly awkward predicament.


    There was no choice. He could only take it one step at a time and come to the Tranquil Cloud Sect and take a look at the situation first before deciding.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not make things difficult for Qin Yan, Fu Zonghu finally put his heart at ease.


    When Qin Yan saw Fu Zonghu, he could not help flushing red as he gave a respectful bow and said, "Grandpa Fu."


    Fu Zonghu and Qin Hongtao were in the same generation. Their relationship was pretty decent too. That was why Qin Hongtao could be at ease sending him over.


    When Qin Yan met Fu Zonghu, he would have to respectfully call him as Grandpa Fu.


    Fu Zonghu smiled slightly and said with a nod, "Yan-er, don''t need to be like this. You lost to Ye Yuan. There''s nothing to be embarrassed about. Know humiliation, then strive harder; that is how a man should be."


    Although Qin Yan was haughty, he was not that sort of ignorant silkpants.


    Hearing Fu Zonghu saying this, he could not help being dazed as he said, "I''ve embarrassed Grandfather! Grandfather he, doesn''t blame me?"


    Fu Zonghu shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan''s strength is already unrivaled among the young generation. You losing to him isn''t injustice."


    Qin Yan''s gaze turned intent as he exclaimed, "Unrivaled?"


    Fu Zonghu nodded and said, "That''s right! Ye Yuan''s present strength can already kill a First Level Soul Sea independently! Regardless whether it is you, or Guo Taoqun, or even Yin Yanhua, you are all not his match."


    "Hiss . . ." Qin Yan drew a cold breath. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with astonishment.


    Protecting himself in front of a Soul Sea Realm, he could accomplish that when he examined himself. Even some slightly weaker Soul Sea Realms, there was a possibility of him defeating them too.


    But to talk about killing, that absolutely could not be accomplished!


    And this youth before his eyes who was seven minor realms lower than him could actually accomplish that!


    "Huuu . . . Grandpa Fu, I know what to do already," Qin Yan exhaled deeply and said.


    Seeing Qin Yan''s gaze, Fu Zonghu nodded slightly. Looks like the setback this time was not a bad thing to Qin Yan.


    "Come, I''ll remove the seals for you first. Let''s return to the sect together."


    As Fu Zonghu was talking, he plunged a strand of essence energy into Qin Yan''s essence energy sea. But very soon, his brows furrowed together.


    He was actually unable to remove the seal!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he saw the situation and said, "Better let me. If forcefully breaking the seal, it will cause damage to his essence energy sea."


    As he said, Ye Yuan came before Qin Yan and similarly fired a strand of essence energy into his essence energy sea. The seal was removed very quickly.


    When Fu Zonghu saw Ye Yuan''s actions from the sides, the amazement in his eyes was incomparable.

 497 Alchemy Holy Land

    Seeing off Fu Zonghu, Ye Yuan then followed Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui to Wu Fang City together with Skymaple.


    Along the way, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui accompanied very cautiously.


    The current Ye Yuan in their eyes was not as simple as just a Sea Transformation Realm.


    Second Level Sea Transformation killing First Level Soul Sea Realm. A casually laid down essence energy seal actually could not be removed even by a Divine Traversing Realm expert.


    Pray tell, which young genius could do it to such an extent?


    Just as Fu Zonghu said, Ye Yuan already widened the gap between him and the young generation geniuses!


    Forget about Bao Sangui, even Xu Zihui looked incredibly cautious. But Skymaple felt even prouder by the side.


    Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were very respectful when speaking with him as well. Skymaple knew that this was all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, forget about going to participate in the highest meet in the Northern Domain this time, Xu Zihui probably would have destroyed the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago.


    Actually, regarding Ye Yuan''s growth, Skymaple had long expected it. Hence, being surpassed by a disciple, not only did he not feel ashamed, he felt very proud instead.


    Because Ye Yuan this rare talent was Tranquil Cloud Sect''s disciple.


    Apart from Skymaple, Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan followed along too.


    Yue Mengli could no longer do without Ye Yuan now, while Xiao Ruyan wanted to experience the Endless World''s alchemy world holy land too.


    Wu Fang City was a sacred city to the Endless World''s alchemists. So, being informed that Ye Yuan was going to Wu Fang City, Skymaple wanted to tag along as well to take a look no matter what.


    In the Endless World, this Wu Fang City could be said to be the place where alchemy skills were the most flourishing. Virtually all of the top alchemists all gathered here.


    Of course, this so-called flourishing was completely not worth mentioning in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    On the path of alchemy, other than that fleeting and ephemeral Alchemy God Realm, there was really nothing that could move him.


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, the party of six finally arrived at Wu Fang City.


    Upon seeing this majestic city, Skymaple actually trembled all over excitedly.


    To him, this trip to Wu Fang City was no different from a pilgrimage. As for the meeting that practically gathered all the peak powerhouses in the Northern Domain, it did not hold much of a meaning to him.


    Because he purely came here this time as a companion. In front of those people, he could not chime in at all.


    "Wu Fang City! Indeed well-deserving to be my Endless World''s alchemy holy land!" Skymaple was overwhelmed by his emotions and said.


    Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui were proud too and said, "That''s natural! In terms of martial power, my Wu Fang City might not be able to compete with the three sects. But even those three great sects have to show some courtesy to City Lord, His Excellency! Because my Wu Fang City doesn''t have medicinal pills that can''t be refined!"


    Hearing these words, Skymaple deeply felt that way too. But Ye Yuan could not hold back it and let out a snigger.


    These two fellows, being conceited had to have a limit too, right?


    Even the previous life''s Ji father and son did not dare to boast such big talk either, let alone a tiny little lower plane''s city.


    A frog at the bottom of a well was the most genuine portrayal of these two people.


    Xu Zihui was experienced and coolheaded, but Bao Sangui''s temper was quite explosive. Seeing that Ye Yuan was actually so disdainful towards this, he could not refrain from saying, "Young Master Ye came to the Northern Domain for the first time. Most likely, you''re still unaware of my Wu Fang City''s prowess! As long as you stay here for a couple of days, you''ll be able to experience how great my Wu Fang City''s Alchemy Path strength is!"


    Although Bao Sangui was unhappy, he did not dare to offend Ye Yuan as well. Back at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Ye Yuan not pursuing his crime of offending already made Bao Sangui very grateful.


    Hence, while his words right now had resentment, it was said very tactfully.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not feel like stooping to his level, and he said with a smile, "Alright, alright. I''ll experience it well these few days."


    Said experience, but there was no sincerity at all.


    Bao Sangui was helpless but did not really dare to argue with Ye Yuan either.


    The present Ye Yuan in their eyes, his status was already extraordinary.


    "Heh heh, the two of you don''t look down on Ye Yuan. His attainments in the Alchemy Path are much greater than this old man!"


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but Skymaple could not resist voicing out.


    The two people were alarmed. "Young Master Ye is actually still an alchemist?"


    Ye Yuan smiled as he fished out that Alchemy Master badge and wore it, saying with a laugh, "Haha! Yeah. If you guys didn''t say, I almost forgot that I still had this thing!"


    This badge was a supreme honor to others. But Ye Yuan simply did not care about this thing. So under normal circumstances, it was thrown in the storage ring to rot.


    "Alchemy . . . Alchemy Master . . ."


    Xu Zihui was dazed. This was also considered an alchemist?


    In Wu Fang City, not talking about Alchemy Masters, even Alchemy Grandmasters were apprentice level too.


    Only by reaching Quasi-Alchemy King could one barely strike the fancy of some small forces. Only by going a step further to reach the Alchemy King Realm, could one be considered attaining a higher level, becoming guest elders for various major factions.


    But Alchemy King Realm wasn''t considered much in Wu Fang City either. Middle-rank Alchemy Kings like Skymaple could be easily found in Wu Fang City.


    When Skymaple saw Ye Yuan take out the badge, he could not help scolding with a laugh, "You punk. Seriously. Such a long time and you don''t know how to take part in an Alchemist Association test too. Is taking out an Alchemy Master badge everyday very fun?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The badge is just a mark. Having it doesn''t represent a high level. Lacking it doesn''t represent low level as well. The Alchemist Association test is only the most basic. It''s not accurate."


    "Be that as it may, with the Alchemist Association''s acknowledgment, it can avoid many unnecessary troubles too, no?" Skymaple urged.


    To the vast majority of alchemists, taking tests and getting badges were something universally accepted. Skymaple was no exception either. That was why he tried his best to advice Ye Yuan to join the next test.


    After all, the position of alchemist was very revered.


    Under unnecessary circumstances, nobody was willing to offend alchemists, especially high tier alchemists.


    Ye Yuan thought about it, but he still shook his head and said, "Heh, forget about it still. I''m afraid that if I go to the Alchemist Association, this Alchemy King, that Alchemy Sovereign, will want to take me in as a disciple again, stirring up considerable problems instead."


    Skymaple could not help being speechless when he heard that. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.


    Ye Yuan''s attainments on the Alchemy Path threw him more than several streets behind. If he really went to take part in the alchemist test, striking the fancy of some important people was something very normal.


    However, these words sounded unbelievably arrogant to Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui.


    They admit that Ye Yuan''s Martial Path was very strong. But Alchemy Path took time and effort. Even if one''s perception was any higher, it was also very hard to train up a true Alchemy Path powerhouse within a short period of time.


    Ye Yuan''s age was merely 16, and he had exceptionally high attainments on the Martial Path too. How could he possibly stand out above the rest on the Alchemy Path as well?


    But they knew that Ye Yuan''s identity was extraordinary. They also knew to consider Ye Yuan''s posturing attitude.


    Young people, cherishing face and being a little arrogant could be understood too. Moreover, he had sufficient qualifications to be arrogant as well, right?


    "Clearly afraid of not passing, but still want to find this kind of lousy reason to avoid the test. Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!. This place is Wu Fang City! Who knows how many young geniuses there are. Who the hell are you to let an Alchemy Sovereign take you in as a disciple?"


    At this time, a cold grunt sounded out, the words were filled with contempt.

 498 Beautiful Women Canst Be Offended

    A discordant voice sounded from the side. Ye Yuan and other three turned around to look and saw a young man currently looking over at them coldly.


    This young man had a displeased look. Clearly, he took all of Ye Yuan''s arrogant words earlier into his ears.


    Seeing this young man, Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui''s faces both changed. "Young Master Ren Dong!"


    "So, it''s you guys. Where did you guys find this country bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world, spouting drivel here?" Ren Dong gave Xu Zihui and Bao Sangui a nonchalant glance. Clearly, he knew the two.


    "This is . . ." Xu Zihui was just about to explain but was cut off by Ren Dong waving his hand.


    "Forget it. This sort of trash, I''m not interested in knowing too." Ren Dong took a look at Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Master badge coolly with a scornful look.


    "Puny little Alchemy Master. It''s best to be more low-profile in this Wu Fang City. The Alchemist Association''s test is not what some random nobody can pass."


    Finished talking, Ren Dong left with large strides. Xu Zihui pair actually did not even get to explain it.


    "Hey, why do you, this fellow, talk like this? Just your alchemy skills aren''t even fit to carry shoes for my master. To actually dare lecture my master here!"


    Ye Yuan did not say anything regarding Ren Dong''s contempt. But Xiao Ruyan could not put up with it by the side, yelling out to stop Ren Dong.


    This period of time, Xiao Ruyan had been cultivating the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation and Tri-Origins Samsara Art all along.


    Yet, only as her training went deeper and deeper did she realised the extensiveness and profoundness of these two things. She finally knew just how terrifying Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills were!


    In the past, she only wanted to be his disciple in order to get close to Ye Yuan. But now, Ye Yuan already became god-like existence in Xiao Ruyan''s heart.


    This Ren Dong''s badge indicated he was at the middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King standards. Compared to Ye Yuan, they were totally not on the same level.


    Now, somebody was actually disrespectful towards Ye Yuan.


    Ren Dong just took a few steps. Hearing Xiao Ruyan shout like this, he could not help turning his head back and looked at Xiao Ruyan with an unkind face.


    "You''re certain that you weren''t joking earlier? Do you know who am I?" Ren Dong said with narrowed eyes.


    In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yue Mengli imparted the face-altering skill to Xiao Ruyan. At present, the two of their faces were very ordinary, so as not to let people stare covetously.


    "I don''t care who you are! Aren''t you just a middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King? You might not even beat me, and you still dare to insult my master? Let me tell you, my master just can''t be bothered to go take part in the alchemist test. Or else, you wouldn''t even be fit to carry shoes for him!'' Xiao Ruyan puffed up her chest and said with righteous indignation.


    She was all too clear about Ye Yuan''s level. Back at the Central Capital, he beat the Tong Family''s Tong Wenchang until he had not one iota of confidence left.


    Now that his strength advanced another step, forget about ordinary middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings, even high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings could not possibly be his match either.


    Regarding Xiao Ruyan''s fervent supporting actions, Ye Yuan could only smile bitterly in his heart.


    He really did not have any intention of haggling over Ren Dong''s insult. But Xiao Ruyan seemed to have received a tremendous stimulation.


    This little lass really could not tolerate anything unreasonable.


    "Heh heh, such high-sounding sentiments! In this Wu Fang City, other than those veteran Alchemy Kings and Alchemy Sovereign experts, there really aren''t many who dare to speak to me this way! Boy, since you''re this lass''s master, do you dare to compete in a match with me? I want to take a look just who carries shoes for whom!" Ren Dong pressed Ye Yuan.


    At this time, Xu Zihui whispered in Ye Yuan''s ear to warn, "Young Master Ren Dong is the strongest person in the Ren Family''s junior generation. His age is not past 30, and he already has middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King strength. It''s said that he is already fully qualified to challenge high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings. Young Master Ye, it is best not to act without due consideration."


    Xu Zihui had stayed in Wu Fang City for many years and was deeply aware just how difficult it was for a top alchemist to be born.


    Based on Ye Yuan''s age, he absolutely had no possibility of winning Ren Dong.


    Rather than everybody looking bad, he might as well remind Ye Yuan a bit, to avoid this unnecessary conflict.


    Ye Yuan''s current soul force already reached middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King standards. Within Quasi-Alchemy King this realm, it was not possible for anybody to be his match.


    Towards such competition, he really could not arouse much interest.


    Hearing Xu Zihui''s high praise, Ren Dong could not help being pleased with himself in his heart.


    Competing with Ye Yuan, he did not have any psychological burden at all. Could a teenage youth be his match?


    As for the master in Xiao Ruyan''s mouth, Ren Dong just took it as a joke to listen to.


    It was also unknown what kind of relation was between these two people. Saying these words was merely just raising Ye Yuan''s status.


    "Haha. Turns out that this Elder Brother is actually so amazing. Younger Brother admires greatly. As for this match . . . I think it''s better to forget about it," Ye Yuan said perfunctorily with a smile.


    The present circumstances were different from before. The reason why he took action against Tong Wenchang was that Tong Wenchang''s actions had infuriated him thoroughly.


    While this Ren Dong was just a little haughty and did not do anything to him either. Ye Yuan naturally would not strike down the other party''s confidence.


    "Hahaha! Boy, looks like you still know your limits pretty well! However . . ." Ren Dong took a look at Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan, heaved a sigh, and said, "This taste . . . is really a little poor. Hehe."


    Ren Dong was dripping with sarcasm when speaking. Evidently, he was very contemptuous of Yue Mengli''s and Xiao Ruyan''s looks.


    Hearing these words, Xiao Ruyan was enraged until smoke came out of her nostrils.


    Women, especially beautiful woman, what they could not stand the most was other people saying that they were not beautiful!


    Moreover, Xiao Ruyan was one of the capital''s dual absolutes in the Fierce Gale World. Her beauty could be imagined.


    "Master, this punk needs a beating! Why are you avoiding a fight?" Xiao Ruyan stomped her feet angrily.


    Ye Yuan was just about to say a few words of consolation when the Yue Mengli who did not say a word the entire time actually opened her mouth to speak too. "Ye Yuan, I know that your alchemy skill attainments are exceedingly high. But I still have yet to see before. How about you let me witness it today, alright?"


    Goodness gracious! The good-natured Yue Mengli was enraged too!


    Ren Dong this brat''s one sentence really lit the firecracker!


    Looks like this alchemist test, he had to take part no matter what.


    Women, especially beautiful women, were never to be offended.


    When Ye Yuan heard Yue Mengli''s words, he unwittingly sweated profusely too.


    In his eyes, Yue Mengli was forever that quiet and elegant.


    Although she was very calm when speaking just now, the faint fury in those words already radiated out.


    Furthermore, this was still Yue Mengli''s first time opening her mouth to beg Ye Yuan. This made Ye Yuan completely not know how he should reject.


    "Fine then, fine then. Isn''t it just refining a medicinal pill? How big of an issue is it?!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    "Not refining a pill that simple! Master, you mustn''t stint on materials! If you are competing with him, you have to let him know what true alchemy skills are!" Xiao Ruyan pointed at Ren Dong and said.


    Ye Yuan could not resist turning back to take a look at Yue Mengli. Yue Mengli did not speak, but the expression in her eyes seemed to be able to talk.


    That meaning was like saying, properly teach this naive child how to behave!


    Ye Yuan could not help shooting Ren Dong a sympathetic glance and said, "Brother, it''s not that this Younger Brother, I, am not helping you. It''s that you really shouldn''t have provoked them!"

 499 Too Simple

    Ren Dong was very displeased. These people treated him utterly as they pleased!


    Regardless where he walked to in Wu Fang City, he was always the center of attention. When had he been underestimated by people like so before?


    "Heh, just two ugly girls. I can''t even say it? Want to challenge me is it? Fine, I''ll give you this opportunity! Today, I just happen to be going to take part in the Alchemist Association''s test as well. Let''s compete to see whose medicinal pill is more outstanding!"


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look as he said, "How to compete?"


    "When taking the test, we''ll refine the same medicinal pill. Whoever''s quality is higher, he wins! If the grade is the same, I''ll invite the Alchemist Association''s elders to judge whose medicinal pill is better!"


    Ren Dong said it very haughtily, as if fearful that others did not know he knew the Alchemist Association''s elders.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Do it as you say then."


    . . . . . .


    The Fierce Gale World''s Alchemist Association''s headquarters was at Central Capital, while the Endless World''s Alchemist Association headquarters was at Wu Fang City.


    But comparing Star Abyss''s status in the Fierce Gale World, the Endless World''s Alchemist Association''s chairman''s status was evidently not as high as Star Abyss''s.


    This is because the Endless World had many sovereign level alchemists. Just within this Wu Fang City, there were two Peak Alchemy Sovereign alchemists.


    One of them was this Alchemist Association''s chairman.


    Of course, the Endless World''s alchemy standards were much higher than the Fierce Gale World''s.


    Star Abyss''s level, when placed in the Endless World, could not rank in the top five.


    The party came to the Alchemist Association. The association''s personnel clearly all knew Ren Dong. Many people came up to greet him.


    "Honorable Nephew Ren Dong, what breeze blew you here today?"


    Ren Dong bought Ye Yuan and the rest into a side hall. An old man immediately greeted warmly when he saw Ren Dong.


    "So, today is Master Wu Xuan managing things. Little Nephew has seen Master." Ren Dong gave a bow respectfully.


    This elderly man was an early-stage Alchemy Sovereign. He could naturally receive Ren Dong''s courtesy.


    Wu Xuan waved his hand and said, "What are you still being so courteous with me for? I heard that you were in closed-seclusion for very long. Coming today, could it be to assault high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King?"


    "Heh, Master Wu Xuan knows me better than anyone. I came today precisely to participate in this high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King test. However . . ." Ren Dong took a look at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Taking care of some inexperienced fellow while I''m at it. This is to let him know what''s called the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Wu Xuan followed Ren Dong''s gaze and looked at Ye Yuan, and he could not help being a little amazed.


    This youth was so young and was actually already Second Level Sea Transformation strength. How extraordinary.


    He saw Xu Zihui standing with his hands by the side respectfully too and could not help being even more astonished.


    A second-class patrolling inspector like Bao Sangui completely could not enter Wu Xuan''s eyes. But a Ninth Level Soul Sea expert like Xu Zihui, Wu Xuan naturally knew.


    He was the City Lord Manor''s first-class patrolling inspector. Why would he be so respectful towards a teenager?


    Looks like this youth had some background!


    "Honorable Nephew, what''s with this talk?"


    In front of Ren Dong, Wu Xuan did not put on any senior''s airs. Clearly, he regarded him quite highly.


    "I came to find Master Wu Xuan, to boldly request Master to be a witness for us. In a while, during the test, we''ll refine the same medicinal pill, and ultimately determine the victor with the medicinal pill''s quality," Ren Dong said with a cold grunt.


    This time, Wu Xuan was really astonished. He said in surprise, "You and him? Quasi-Alchemy King versus low-rank Alchemy Master? Honorable Nephew, aren''t you being a little too much of a bully here?"


    "Heh heh, Master didn''t hear how arrogant this boy''s words were. He said that as long as he randomly took part in the test, whatever Alchemy King and Alchemy Sovereign would be contending to snatch him to be a disciple. Furthermore . . . he would even find it troublesome!" Ren Dong said with a cold smile.


    When Wu Xuan heard these words, his expression could not help darkening too. A puny little Alchemy Master uttered such wild ravings. Indeed, this person was unaware of how high the heaven was and how deep the earth was.


    "You really said that before?" Wu Xuan asked in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, counted as admitting it.


    Actually, he just casually said it to use to placate Skymaple. Who knew that it just so happened to be heard by Ren Dong.


    But the words were already said. Ye Yuan naturally would not deny it.


    Furthermore, what he said was only the truth. How could those Alchemy Kings and Alchemy Sovereigns be worthy of being his, Ye Yuan''s, master?


    "Hehe, what an unbridled brat! Fine! Today, I''ll help you guys be this witness, and I''ll see if a puny little Alchemy Master really has such heaven-defying talent that can make me view him in a different light too!"


    Ye Yuan admitting it so shamelessly made Wu Xuan very furious too.


    Ye Yuan just shrugged when he heard this. He did not have the intention of disputing those words.


    . . . . . .


    The place for this test did not seem to be any different from back then when Ye Yuan was at the State of Qin.


    It was just that the pill refining rooms here were of much higher quality compared to the State of Qin''s. All manners of decorations and equipments were much more extensive too.


    In the hall, one could likewise see everything in the pill refining rooms from the light screen projection.


    "Alright, the test will begin soon. What kind of medicinal pill do you guys want to refine?" Wu Xuan asked.


    Ye Yuan had yet to speak when Ren Dong jumped in and said, "Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that, his eyes looking at Ren Dong rather strangely.


    Ren Dong clearly saw Ye Yuan''s gaze too and thought that Ye Yuan could not refine it. He could not help saying delightedly, "What? Can''t refine it? Or completely never heard before? There''s still time to back out now, but there has to be some punishment, don''t you agree?"


    Ye Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head as he said, "Alright then. Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill then."


    Ye Yuan''s surprise was obviously not because he could not refine it, and even less because he never heard of it before. But because this Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was seriously too easy for him.


    He originally still thought that Ren Dong being so aggressive should have picked even more formidable Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. Who knew that he actually picked one without any difficulty.


    However, Ye Yuan was a well-fed person who did not know how the starving people had suffered. This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was already the highest-ranking medicinal pill that Ren Dong could refine.


    The Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was a high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill, but it was also just an entry-level medicinal pill. It could at most only be considered slightly difficult among the entry-levels.


    Most of those who came to join the alchemist test just barely reached this level. They would naturally choose other entry-level medicinal pills for the test.


    Ren Dong being able to refine out high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills at this age was already very impressive. To make him pick some highly challenging high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills was naturally something impossible.


    But Ye Yuan''s expression in the eyes of those who did not know the inside story naturally thought that he could not refine it.


    But Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan, even Skymaple, all of them knew that this should not stump Ye Yuan.


    This expression of Ye Yuan''s could only say . . . this medicinal pill was too simple.


    Wu Xuan saw Ye Yuan''s expression, and he could not help shaking his head secretly in his heart.


    This youngster''s strength was decent, but his temperament was too poor. Unable to refine, then why he pretended to know?


    Even if a puny little Alchemy Master really could refine some Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, how could he possibly refine those high-level medicinal pills of the same tier?


    Now, the true colors were revealed, and the jig was up, right?

 500 Young Man, Do You Have a Master?

    "Alright. Since the two of you don''t have any objections, then begin!" Wu Xuan said.,


    "Hang on!" Xiao Ruyan suddenly interjected.


    "What? You this ugly girl want to go back on your words?" Ren Dong said with a grin.


    The temperature in the hall instantly dropped several degrees. This Ren Dong really had no idea of death.


    Xiao Ruyan said with a cold smile, "Since it''s an alchemy duel, there has to be some stake, right?"


    Ren Dong could not help being stunned when he heard these words. The smile on his face became even brighter straight away. "Haha! What kind of stake do you want? Just say it out!"


    "Just bet essence crystals then! 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals. Dare to wager?" Xiao Ruyan had a compelling look.


    Once these words were said, everyone drew in a cold breath.


    Although Ye Yuan still had some wealth right now, to take out 100 thousand essence crystals in one go, he really could not do it.


    100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals. No matter where it was, it was a huge sum of money.


    After the shock, Ren Dong calmed down very quickly, and looked at Xiao Ruyan with a half-smile as he said, "Heh! You this ugly girl talk so big! 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals, can you take it out?"


    Xiao Ruyan flipped her hand over. A storage ring appeared in her hand.


    "There are 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals in this storage ring. Since this lord sovereign is the judge, let him confirm it."


    As she said, Xiao Ruyan very casually threw the storage ring to Wu Xuan.


    Wu Xuan was also slightly astonished when he saw the situation. He inserted his divine sense into the storage ring and counted them; indeed, there were 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals.


    This little lady, such a grand display of one''s wealth!


    100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals were not considered much to him as an Alchemy Sovereign. But to ordinary people, it was absolutely a tremendous amount of wealth.


    Even for Ren Dong as the eldest young master in his family, adding up all of his possessions, it was most likely just this amount too.


    "That''s right. It''s indeed 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals," Wu Xuan nodded slightly and said.


    Hearing the affirmative answer, Ren Dong could not help looking at Xiao Ruyan in slight amazement.


    This ugly girl''s looks were far from attractive. To think that she was actually so wealthy. People really could not be judged by their looks!


    But Ren Dong naturally did not mind this as well. He only treated it as a little girl in a fit of pique.


    "Hehe, with money, one can be willful, but one also has to bear the consequences brought about from being willful! Deal! I''ll wager with you!"


    Ren Dong likewise threw Wu Xuan a storage ring and said, "Master, this storage ring has high-grade, middle-grade, and low-grade essence crystals. The total sum should be 100 thousand. I have to trouble you to do a check."


    Wu Xuan briefly counted, and he then nodded his head slightly and said, "Only a few dozen pieces short. Not a big problem. Since both parties have agreed to this wager, then this Seat will be the intermediary party. These two storage rings will belong to the final victor. Now, we can start the test."


    Ye Yuan and Ren Dong entered the medicine warehouse. They chose the medicinal herbs the Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill required, and then they entered the pill refining rooms respectively to refine the medicinal pill.


    Seizing this opportunity, Wu Xuan pulled Xu Zihui to one side and asked softly, "What background does this boy have? Are you sure that he isn''t here to cause trouble?"


    Xu Zihui had a bitter look when he heard that and said, "This . . . This lowly one doesn''t know either! Young Master Ye''s talent in the Martial Path is unparalleled. But whether he knows how to alchemy or not, I really don''t know!"


    As he said this, Xu Zihui briefly recounted the matter of inviting Ye Yuan to join the Northern Domain''s upper echelons'' meeting, leaving Wu Xuan with shock in his heart.


    This Ye Yuan was actually even stronger than the three sect''s head disciples. Truly inconceivable.


    But his complexion became dark very quickly as he said in a low voice, "Martial Path talent being so heaven-defying, but at his age, how could he have the time to learn alchemy skills too? He''s truly messing around!"


    Xu Zihui clearly did not feel that Ye Yuan could refine out a high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill either and said with a forced smile, "Master Wu Xuan, this lowly one has interacted with Young Master Ye for several days, and more or less has some understanding regarding his temperament. A young man''s character can be understood. Since Young Master Ye has the badge that the Alchemist Association issued, he presumably isn''t utterly clueless about alchemy skills. Since he wants to mess around, just let him run wild. Or else, if he really gets offended and walks away, City Lord, His Excellency, will flay my skin for sure when I go back."


    Wu Xuan said with a long face, "This old man, an exalted Alchemy Sovereign, is actually accompanying two juniors to mess around. Seriously preposterous!"


    Xu Zihui smiled obsequiously and said, "Huhu, at any rate, Young Master Ren Dong''s standards are not for show. To think that he can actually refine high-level Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills so soon! At this speed, he''ll most likely become our Wu Fang City''s youngest Alchemy King expert!"


    After Xi Zihui mentioned Ren Dong, Wu Xuan''s expression became a little better as he said with a nod, "This boy''s talent in alchemy is indeed exceptionally strong. The Ren Family finally produced a decent junior again after Hongling that lass. Forget it, forget it; today, I''ll just take it as witnessing Ren Dong this boy''s growth then."


    Wu Xuan pair chatted for a while and were just about to go to the light screen to watch Ren Dong''s refinement when the door of the pill refining room that Ye Yuan was in suddenly opened. Ye Yuan slowly walked out from inside.


    When Wu Xuan saw the situation, his expression involuntarily darkened as he said, "Young man, alchemy skills are not as simple as you imagine. A day''s work cannot refine out high tier medicinal pills! If your strength can''t compare to others, you have to accept it with an open mind. A momentary dispute caused by personal feelings will do no good for your growth!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually came out so quickly, Wu Xuan already confirmed that this Ye Yuan was making a fool out of him, and could not resist lecturing a few sentences with a senior''s capacity.


    Ye Yuan was disinclined to refute as well and just gave an apathetic ''orh'' and retreated to one side.


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes lit up, and she asked Ye Yuan in a whisper, "Master, what grade?"


    The composed Yue Mengli also could not resist moving closer at this time.


    But Ye Yuan made a mystery out of it as he said with a smile, "Leave a bit of suspense. Making it known now won''t have any meaning anymore."


    After 2 hours plus, Ren Dong finally came out from the pill refining room. It was only to see him drenched in sweat all over, as if he was hurled out from a river.


    This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill was still a little too forceful to Ren Dong.


    But Ren Dong''s face seemed to be looking very excited. Clearly, the refinement succeeded.


    Ren Dong saw Ye Yuan sitting there calm and composedly, looking as if his soul force and essence energy both virtually had no expenditure. Ren Dong could not help giving a disdainful smile.


    "Huhu, resigned yourself to your fate, right? Alchemy isn''t as easy as you imagine! Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills are not Tier 2 medicinal pills that can be refined as long as one''s realm is sufficient," Ren Dong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and was not in the mood to argue with him.


    Before long, the employees submitted the medicinal pills refined by the two.


    Wu Xuan already had no interest to look at the medicinal pill Ye Yuan refined at this time. He directly unveiled the vessel used to place Ren Dong''s medicinal pill, his face revealing a satisfied look.


    "Not bad, not bad! Actually able to refine a middle-grade Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill already. Looks like you didn''t slack off in the slightest recently!" Wu Xuan said in satisfaction.


    "Master Wu Xuan is too kind. Little Nephew is somebody who has the resolve to assault the realm of peak Alchemy Sovereign. How can I dare have the slightest hint of remiss?" Ren Dong was pleased with himself in his heart but spoke humbly on the surface.


    Wu Xuan nodded his head and unveiled Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill carelessly. His expression involuntarily changed drastically!


    "This . . . This Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill. Hiss . . . Young man, do you have a master?" Wu Xuan asked.

 501 Ren Xingchun

    Everyone was stupefied by this question from Wu Xuan. What was going on?


    Wu Xuan was not talking about the medicinal pill''s quality, but he asked about Ye Yuan''s master first?


    But everyone understood it very quickly. Wu Xuan was trying to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple here!


    Understanding this subtle question, Ren Dong''s face was already black like a pot''s bottom.


    He still clearly remembered that he just happened to bump into the sight of Ye Yuan saying that Alchemy Kings and Alchemy Sovereigns would be fighting to take him in as a disciple.


    Wasn''t this scene right now exactly verifying Ye Yuan''s words back then?


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan did not even expend much essence energy and soul force. How could he possibly refine out a high quality Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill?


    "Master Wu Xuan, the medicinal pill that he refined?" Ren Dong clenched his teeth and asked.


    Only when Wu Xuan looked at Ren Dong did he realize his loss of composure. But very soon, he took pity on Ren Dong.


    Ren Dong''s talent absolutely bore no complaints. But compared to this Ye Yuan, it was simply a world of difference!


    He passed the medicinal pill to Ren Dong and said with a sigh, "You take a look yourself."


    Ren Dong received the medicinal pill in puzzlement and swept over the medicinal pill with soul force. His expression became even uglier.


    Transcendent-grade!


    It was absolutely transcendent-grade!


    A transcendent-grade Dragon Buddha Jade Void Pill. This . . . How was this possible?"


    Yet, the reality was right before his eyes and not up to Ren Dong to believe or not.


    Everything in the pill refining room could be projected on the light screen and be recorded down. Ye Yuan''s refinement completely could not be faked.


    Could it be that this boy''s alchemy standards actually already reached such a monstrous degree?


    As an alchemist, Ren Dong was all too clear about the disparity between middle-grade and transcendent-grade!


    Comparing using a firefly and the bright moon was not overboard at all!


    "Hehe, Master is Master! Indeed amazing! How is it, great Young Master Ren? Convinced now?"


    Xiao Ruyan clearly identified the transcendent-grade medicinal pill too, and she could not help striking down Ren Dong with a proud look.


    Yet, Ren Dong completely did not hear Xiao Ruyan''s words. He was currently still battered out of his senses at present.


    The eyes of Yue Mengli behind Ye Yuan glimmered at this time, staring hard at Ye Yuan''s back view. It was also uncertain what she was thinking about.


    "You''re called Ye Yuan, right? I wonder if you''re willing to enter this old man''s tutelage? This old man will exhaust everything I have to aid you to reach the Divine Realm!'' Wu Xuan also said somewhat agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly. As expected, it still went back to this topic.


    "Is the test considered passed now?" Ye Yuan''s reply avoided the question.


    "Uh, of course! Of course, it''s passed!" Wu Xuan was dazed for a bit and replied.


    "Then . . . give it!"


    "Give it? Give what it?" Wu Xuan discovered that he completely could not follow Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    "The badge! I came to take the test for high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King. Now that I''ve passed the test, shouldn''t you give me the badge? Oh, those two storage rings as well!" Ye Yuan said crossly.


    In Ye Yuan''s eyes, he totally did not have any awe towards an Alchemy Sovereign.


    Only then, did Wu Xuan come to a realization. He hurriedly instructed, "Come, men! Make haste to produce Ye Yuan''s badge! Uh, these two storage rings are yours. Ye Yuan, I wonder if . . ."


    "Master Wu Xuan, actually, I have a master. If it''s acknowledging a master, I think forget about it." Ye Yuan received the storage rings and interrupted Wu Xuan''s words rudely.


    "This . . . Having a master doesn''t matter as well! Wu Fang City is the alchemy holy land! And Lord Chairman is even a Peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse! If this old man isn''t qualified enough, I believe he has the qualifications. With Lord Chairman coming forward, I believe that your master won''t say much either! With your talent, with the Alchemist Association''s fostering, ascending to the Divine Realm in the future is practically a shoo-in!"


    Wu Xuan was clearly unwilling to give up and still wanted to convince Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan felt his head swell up and he waved his hands and said, "Master his elder self treats me very well. I don''t have plans to change factions. Lord Wu Xuan, I still have important matters on hand so I won''t stay any longer. Brother Zihui, after the badge finishes manufacturing, I''ll have to trouble you to send somebody to collect it and send it to my residence."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan left without even turning his head back.


    . . . . . .


    In a tranquil courtyard inside City Lord Manor, an old man with a fierce glare was currently drinking tea in the pavilion.


    This old man was precisely the person with the highest authority in Wu Fang City. City Lord Ren Xingchun!


    Opposite Ren Xingchun said a middle-aged man. Between the latter''s forehead had some alikeness with Ren Xingchun.


    "Yujie, these few days, Wu Fang City will have a meeting of wind and clouds. You have to be more wary. Especially those few old fellows from the three sects, they have to be entertained upon carefully. Best to not have any trouble occur," Ren Xingchun said.


    "Father, rest assured. I''ve already prepared everything. This time, the state of affairs is extraordinary. Those few most likely won''t intentionally stir up trouble too," Ren Yujie said.


    Ren Xingchun nodded and said, "I really didn''t expect that my Endless World would actually suffer such an undeserved calamity! If those few old fellows still don''t cease at this time, they will be the Endless World''s sinners! Other than their three schools, have the others all arrived?"


    "There are still several people not yet here. But we''ve already received the news that they are already on the way. It''s also a matter of these two days," Ren Yujie said.


    "En. Then that''s good. Oh right, that boy called Ye Yuan will be of vital importance to this meeting. What kind of strategy we take against the Fierce Gale World will all fall onto his brain. I made Xu Zihui go and invite him. I wonder if he''s here yet or not?"


    "Already here. I''ve already arranged for him to be at Fengya Pavilion. Speaking of this boy, he''s really impressive too!'' Ren Yujie said with glistening eyes.


    "Oh? Impressive in what way?"


    "Yesterday, Ye Yuan just entered the city. No idea how, he bumped onto Dong-er. The two of them actually carried out a pill fighting match!"


    With this, Ren Xingchun''s interest was aroused as he asked curiously, "Oh? There is still this incident? I heard that this boy''s Martial Path is exceedingly formidable, even detaining Qin Hongtao''s grandson. Could it be that he also has exceptionally high attainments in the Alchemy Path? What''s the result of the two of their face-off?"


    Ren Yujie snickered and said, "Why don''t Father make a guess?"


    "Hiss . . . Hearing your tone, could it be that Dong-er lost? Dong-er''s talent is not at all inferior to Hongling''s. It can''t be to the extent where he lost to a boy from the countryside, right?"


    Ren Yujie nodded his head; his eyes were clearly still carrying disbelief. "En. How is it just lost? It was simply an utter defeat! When I heard this news, I suspected that I heard wrongly myself too. For this, I even specially sent people to the Alchemist Association to inquire about it from Lord Wu Xuan, only to hear that this is true!"


    Ren Xingchun briefly recounted the matter of Ye Yuan and Ren Dong battling on refining pills. Ren Xingchun drew a cold breath when he heard the story.


    "Transcendent-grade medicinal pill? Even if this boy started cultivating in his mother''s womb, it''s also not possible to be monstrous to such a degree, right?" Ren Xingchun said in disbelief.


    "That I don''t know. But this youngster called Ye Yuan, his background is indeed filled with mysteries," Ren Yujie said.


    Ren Xingchun nodded and said, "This matter, I got it. You go and console Dong-er properly. He has been arrogant at heart and haughty in manner since young. He has never suffered such a setback before. If he make use of this setback properly, it will be a facilitation for him instead. Hongling is already thoroughly crippled. Our Ren Family''s future hope is all on Dong-er. We must make sure that nothing goes wrong."


    Hearing that, Ren Yujie''s expression dimmed, wanting to speak. But he said nothing.

 502 Finding People

    "Whatever you want to say, just say it. Don''t act like I''m a target for venting!'' Ren Xingchun said unhappily.


    Ren Yujie heaved a sigh and said, "So many years have passed already. The wood has become a boat. Father, you still can''t let it go of it in your heart? You doing this, Younger Sister will hate you for the rest of your life!"


    Boom!


    Ren Xingchun slapped a palm down. The stone table in the pavilion immediately turned into a pile of powder.


    "Hongling was originally the successor of my mantle with outstanding talent, but she was abducted by that stinking brat! Now, Hongling became a cripple because of that stinking brat. How do you want me to not be angry?"


    Ren Xingchun suddenly seemed to have become another person, stern in voice and countenance.


    "Father, it has already been so many years since the incident. Our Ren Family has Dong-er too. Brother-in-law brought Younger Sister back to apologize for their mistake. Isn''t it good enough for our family to reunite together? Why must it be a life-and-death struggle?" Ren Yujie said carefully.


    Although Ren Yujie already reached middle-age, he still did not dare to talk loudly in front of Ren Xingchun.


    Ren Xingchun flicked his sleeves and said with a cold grunt, "It will be hard to vent the hatred in my heart for so many years without killing that stinking brat! Don''t mention this matter again! After the meet this time passes, immediately carry out the death sentence on that punk!"


    Ren Yujie shook his head and sighed again. Then turned around and left the courtyard.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan the four of them stayed at Feng Ya Pavilion. The next day, Skymaple was too impatient to wait and left the house on his own to look around Wu Fang City.


    Of course, a part of the reason for him doing so was because he did not wish to hinder Ye Yuan and the two beauties'' privacy.


    Him, an old man, always hanging around young people, it seriously could not quite be justified.


    "Master, let''s go out to take a look too! Although this Wu Fang City isn''t as big as our Central Capital, in terms of bustling degree, it''s only greater and not lesser! Furthermore, I heard that just the Alchemy Sovereign experts here are close to as many as ten. This level of strength truly makes our Fierce Gale World look up to it!"


    Ever since Xiao Ruyan broke away from her family''s fetters, her entire person became much more cheerful. This happy look suited her age more.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any interest in Wu Fang City. However, Xiao Ruyan, his eldest disciple, was in such a mood to enjoy things. It was not nice of him to brush off Xiao Ruyan''s intention either.


    As for Yue Mengli, she had an indifferent look. As long as it was accompanying by Ye Yuan''s side, it would do.


    The trio were just about to leave when Xu Zihui just happened to stop them.


    "Young Master Ye, this is your high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King badge. I sent people early in the morning to help you retrieve it."


    Xu Zihui already used honorifics when speaking. This trip here, he was already prostrating on all fours in admiration before Ye Yuan.


    At a young age, not only could he cross a major realm to battle in terms of the Martial Path, he could even refine a high-level transcendent-grade Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pill.


    Such monstrous talent, just thinking about it made people despair!


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and received the badge. The three and a half stars on it twinkled.


    Because Quasi-Alchemy King was similarly a special realm, being in-between Alchemy King and Alchemy Grandmaster, the Alchemist Association''s badge had three and a half stars on it.


    Ye Yuan casually threw the badge into the storage ring and did not have the intention of adorning it.


    When Xu Zihui saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.


    Alchemists being so casual with their badges . . . It was most likely just this guy, right?


    In other people''s view, after getting this badge, they would absolutely be like obtaining a supreme treasure, carefully pinning it on their chest and finding it hard to take it down again.


    But this Lord actually spurned it!


    Ye Yuan kept the badge, but then he fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Xu Zihui. He said to him, "These few days, I''ve troubled Brother Zihui. Younger Brother isn''t able to refine Tier 4 medicinal pills right now, so I can only use this medicinal pill to express my thanks. If Brother Zihui has any son or nephew descendant, it can come in handy."


    These few days, Xu Zihui fussed around as if Ye Yuan was his master, serving him very meticulously.


    Although he came here because he received Wu Fang City Lord''s orders, Ye Yuan appreciated it too. Moreover, Ye Yuan gifting the pill was naturally because he still had a request.


    Xu Zihui received the pill and took a look, and he could not help drawing a cold breath!


    Transcendent-grade medicinal pill again!


    "Young Master Ye, this medicinal pill . . ." Xu Zihui completely did not recognize this medicinal pill at all.


    Ye Yuan smiled and explained, "This is a Sea Gathering Pill. It can allow someone to advance one minor realm in the Sea Transformation Realm unconditionally. If Brother Zihui has any Sea Transformation Realm son or nephew, why not let him give it a try."


    "This . . . This medicinal pill is too valuable! I can''t take it!" Hearing Ye Yuan''s explanation, Xu Zihui immediately realized just how precious this medicinal pill was and hurriedly passed the medicinal pill back.


    But Ye Yuan did not take it and said with a smile, "Brother Zihui, keep it. I still have a matter to request Brother Zihui."


    Xu Zihui struggled briefly but still could not resist keeping the medicinal pill.


    His son just broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. This medicinal pill came perfectly in time for him to use. Xu Zihui naturally could not bear to part with it and return it to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill was given with perfect timing.


    "Then Zihui thanks Young Master Ye very much! My son just broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm and could just happen to use this Sea Gathering Pill. If Young Master Ye has any request, just say it. Zihui is incapable, but I can still say a few words in this Wu Fang City." Xu Zihui was already shedding tears of gratitude right now towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Haha, then I''ll thank Brother Zihui first. Actually, I wish to ask Brother Zihui to help me find two people."


    "Who?"


    "These two people are a husband and wife pair. One is called Ye Hang. The other is called Ren Hongling."


    Ever since Ye Hang and Ren Hongling left after leaving behind the letter, although Ye Yuan did not show it, he kept it in his heart all along.


    Now that the Tranquil Cloud Sect moved north, Ye Yuan naturally had to inquire about his parents'' news.


    Wu Fang City''s sphere of influence in the Northern Domain was massive. Requesting Xu Zihui to inquire about his parents'' news was perfect.


    When Xu Zihui heard ''Ren Hongling'' these three words, his expression could not help changing.


    But Ye Yuan took in Xu Zihui''s expression into his sight and could not help but be surprised. He asked, "Is it possible that Brother Zihui knows these two?"


    Xu Zihui lowered his voice and said, "It''s really a coincidence. City Lord, His Excellency, has a daughter. Her name is called Ren Hongling too!"


    Ye Yuan''s mind flashed like lightning when he heard that. His parents had never talked about their backgrounds. Was it possible that Mother actually still had such a startling background?


    Thinking of this, Ye Yuan was even more overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Then where is that City Lord''s daughter now?"


    Xu Zihui sighed and said, "City Lord''s daughter came to a premature end long ago already. It''s too bad for an alchemy genius!"


    "Oh? Why is this so?" Ye Yuan could not help becoming curious.


    "Back that, City Lord''s daughter had peerless talent. At the age of 18, she was already a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster, greatly surpassing those of the same age! But sadly, the heaven is envious of the gifted. That Ren Hongling actually got inflicted with a terminal disease and left this world. City Lord, His Excellency, was even heartbroken over this for a long time."


    Listening up to here, Ye Yuan already basically confirmed that this Ren Hongling was not the other Ren Hongling.


    Because his mother did not have any trace of essence energy undulation in her body and was only a normal person. She naturally could not possibly be the City Lord''s daughter in Xu Zihui''s story.

 503 Teach Me Alchemy

    "Then it''s really quite a pity," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    Xiao Ruyan was a high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster at 20 years old and was already a peak existence in the Fierce Gale World.


    An 18 years old high-rank Alchemy Grandmaster was absolutely a peak existence in the Endless World.


    Such monstrous talent but passed away young, it was indeed quite pitiful.


    "Yeah. But the heaven does not cut off all paths. City Lord, His Excellency, later got another grandson that is Ren Dong. His talent is similarly a top existence when looking at the junior generation," Xu Zihui said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Regarding Ren Dong''s talent, Ye Yuan did not have any disagreement.


    To the Lower Realms, Ren Dong''s talent was already rather decent.


    Ye Yuan described Ye Hang''s and Ren Hongling''s looks and characteristics to Xu Zihui in detail, and he instructed, "These two people''s news will be entrusted to Brother Zihui. If your son needs any medicinal pills, Brother Zihui doesn''t need to be courteous. Just come and find me will do."


    Xu Zihui was overjoyed when he heard it and hurriedly said, "I''ll thank Young Master Ye on behalf of my son first."


    Martial artists'' cultivation could not do without medicinal pills. With Xu Zihui''s strength and status, he naturally did not lack medicinal pills. But just looking from Ye Yuan casually taking out the Sea Gathering Pill, his Alchemy Path strength absolutely could not be compared to ordinary high-rank Quasi-Alchemy Kings.


    Xu Zihui was Ninth-Level Soul Sea Realm strength and had mingled in Wu Fang City for so many years. His horizons were absolutely exceedingly high.


    But he had never heard before a kind of medicinal pill which could unconditionally raise the level of Sea Transformation Realm by a minor realm.


    This Ye Yuan''s background was absolutely not ordinary!


    Building up a good relationship with a future peerless powerhouse like this was absolutely worth it.


    Seeing off Xu Zihui, Ye Yuan was just about to bring Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan out, but then he saw somebody was pacing around outside Feng Ya Pavilion''s gates with a conflicted look.


    Looking closely, who could it be but Ren Dong?


    "Great Young Master Ren, it''s not that you can''t take a loss and want to take back the essence crystals, right?" Xiao Ruyan said derisively.


    It was uncertain what Ren Dong was thinking about earlier and completely did not see Ye Yuan trio come out. Hearing Xiao Ruyan''s words at this time, he involuntarily lifted his head and looked over.


    With this look, Ren Dong could not help drawing in a deep breath.


    This woman before his eyes was seriously absurdly beautiful. That exquisite face took Ren Dong''s breath away.


    Taking a look at Ye Yuan''s side again, Yue Mengli''s beauty was actually a level above Xiao Ruyan''s!


    Ren Dong''s mind could not help short-circuiting. "This Miss, you are? Ah! You''re not . . . not . . . that ugly girl yesterday, right?"


    "Hey! You try saying that one more time!'' Xiao Ruyan''s expression instantly became cold.


    Only then did Ren Dong come around to his senses and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Ah, no, Miss, I don''t mean that. I was saying . . . was saying . . ."


    Ren Dong thought for a long time and could not figure out how he should organize his words.


    Those two ugly girls yesterday actually became celestial deity-like girls today with a sway of their bodies!


    These two beauties before his eyes were simply even more gorgeous than all the women he had seen before added up!


    He was still criticizing Ye Yuan''s taste yesterday. He only discovered now that he was the real blind man!


    Such remarkable beauties, being able to get one was already incredible fortune. Ye Yuan actually embraced one left and one right, enjoying the bliss of dual company to the max. Was this wanting to make every man in the world feel ashamed of their unworthiness?


    No wonder these two beauties changed their looks to that appearance yesterday. Turns out that they were afraid of trouble.


    Ren Dong did not know that his words yesterday thoroughly stimulated Yue Mengli and Xiao Ruyan.


    Going out today, the two of them refused to disguise themselves no matter what. Xiao Ruyan even took care of her looks today meticulously, appearing ephemerally beautiful; such beauty was not what the mortal realm should possess.


    The other girl, Yue Mengli, was a born beauty. She just recovered to her original appearance, and that already made the entire city''s women fade in color.


    Ye Yuan felt an endless headache too. Ignoring Xiao Ruyan, Yue Mengli''s original disposition was very quiet and elegant and never cared about other people''s view.


    No idea what wrong medicine she took today to actually mess around together with Xiao Ruyan.


    Actually, even Yue Mengli herself probably did not understand either why she would care about her image so much.


    "Say what? You dare to say that you didn''t say it just now?" Xiao Ruyan pressed on the point to death.


    Ren Dong forehead was covered in sweat. In front of Xiao Ruyan, he actually did not have that imposing manner yesterday.


    "Sorry, sorry. It was me who have eyes but failed to see. To actually treat a mortal realm''s absolute beauty like Miss as a commonplace girl. Truly a sin! Such a sin!"


    "Enough! Look at how your eyes are glued! Knew that you aren''t anything good! Must be an exceptionally lecherous person!"


    ". . . . . ."


    Ye Yuan really could not carry on watching by the side, and he could only speak up, "Alright, Ruyan. Yesterday, you guys altered your looks to that extend; Young Master Ren''s misunderstanding is normal too. You don''t keep harping on the matter."


    Xiao Ruyan pursed her mouth and actually did not dispute, retreating behind Ye Yuan unwillingly.


    Ren Dong was even more stupefied when he saw the situation. This woman looked to be so fierce and unreasonable, but she actually did not dare to say a word back to Ye Yuan!


    This Ye Yuan''s methods to control women was truly remarkable!


    "Young Master Ren, you aren''t really finding me to ask for essence crystals, right?" Ye Yuan looked at Ren Dong and said with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    Ren Dong hastily shook his hands and said, "No, no, the essence crystals is just a small matter. That . . . Can we go in for a talk?"


    Ren Dong looked around for a bit, his expression somewhat embarrassed.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and knew that he was afraid of him losing face being seen by people, and he nodded his head.


    Coming to the inner hall and sitting down, Ye Yuan could not help being very helpless too. Looks like wanting to go out to take a stroll around wasn''t very likely.


    "What you have to say, you can say it now, right?" Ye Yuan said.


    "That . . . is it possible to . . . teach me how to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills?" Ren Dong rubbed his hands, appearing very embarrassed.


    Evidently, these words took immense courage to come out of his mouth.


    But Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard these words. He could tell that Ren Dong was the kind of person who viewed himself very highly and was extremely haughty. To think that he would actually say something like that.


    "Young Master Ren, according to what I know, your grandfather is a Peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse. Alchemy this sort of thing, seems like you shouldn''t be coming over to ask me, right?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    But Rendong shook his head when he heard that and said, "Even though my grandfather is a Peak Alchemy Sovereign, he has no way of refining transcendent-grade medicinal pills when he was at your level. The way I see it, you should have some special skill that can refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills, right?"


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help becoming strange, and he said with a cold smile, "Even if I have ways to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills, why should I teach you? The process of us becoming acquainted didn''t seem to be very merry, right?"


    Ren Dong''s expression was rather ugly. Him suddenly dropping in to find Ye Yuan to teach him alchemy was indeed very brusque.


    But he thought about it for an entire day after he went back yesterday and did not sleep the entire night. He was extremely curious about Ye Yuan''s pill refining techniques.


    Today, not knowing why, he actually came to Feng Ya Pavilion at the behest of supernatural powers.


    Ren Dong looked at Ye Yuan and stood up abruptly.


    But this action gave Xiao Ruyan a fright. She hastily blocked in front of Ye Yuan, like a tigress protecting its cubs, and she said fiercely, "What do you want to do to Master?"


    Ren Dong did not bother with Xiao Ruyan, and suddenly he kneeled down with a thud!

 504 Refining Pills Bare-handedly

    This action of Ren Dong threw Ye Yuan trio into a confusion.


    "What are you doing?" Ye Yuan asked in surprise.


    "I''m willing to acknowledge you as Master. Please teach me how to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills!" Ren Dong said with a stubborn look.


    This action from Ren Dong made Ye Yuan view him in a different light.


    He did not look down on Ren Dong because of this. Rather, he felt that only such a person was worthy of bearing the word ''alchemist.''


    Ye Yuan could feel Ren Dong''s intense thirst for knowledge. That sort of extreme desire, Ye Yuan himself had it before too.


    Alchemist was an occupation held in great esteem. Many people lost their original goals during the process of growing stronger, indulging in the opulence of the secular world and being unable to extricate themselves.


    Those kinds of people, even if overflowing with talent, their accomplishments would be extremely limited too.


    "What if yesterday, I happened to refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill by chance?" Ye Yuan said.


    Of course, Ye Yuan would not take him in as a disciple so easily.


    Ye Yuan had always prioritized quality over quantity when taking in disciples. Even if he did not take any disciples in his previous life, his followers were all carefully selected through a strict process.


    Regardless whether it was talent or conduct, Xiao Ruyan was a top choice. That was why Ye Yuan agreed.


    The first impression that this Ren Dong gave Ye Yuan was not good. Ye Yuan obviously would not relent so easy.


    "Early this morning, I went to the Alchemist Association and examined your refining process yesterday. It''s simply a magnificent work of art! Although we''re both Quasi-Alchemy Kings, your alchemy skills flung me more than several streets behind!" Ren Dong said.


    The refining process that the Alchemist Association recorded, normal people naturally could not view it. But Ren Dong''s identity was extraordinary. Wanting to check it was not hard.


    "Master, who knows what intentions this fellow has. You mustn''t fall for his trick!" Xiao Ruyan slandered him by the side.


    "You''re really his disciple?" Ren Dong suddenly asked.


    "Otherwise, what do you think?! I''m Master''s eldest disciple!" Xiao Ruyan said with a proud look.


    Xiao Ruyan was increasingly convinced by Ye Yuan when following him to refine pills now.


    This period of time, although Xiao Ruyan did not break through realms, her alchemy skills level had a qualitative leap, and her foundation was much sturdier compared to before.


    Hence, she admitted to being Ye Yuan''s disciple now was without any pressure at all. In fact, she felt very proud.


    This master, she acknowledged correctly!


    Ren Dong mused for a moment and suddenly did a loud kowtow towards Ye Yuan and said, "Master Ye Yuan, please take me in as a disciple no matter what!"


    Ren Dong perceived some things from Xiao Ruyan''s expression and strengthened his resolve to acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master even more.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I don''t have any method that can refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills. So . . . you don''t need to acknowledge me as master."


    Ren Dong became anxious when he heard that and hurriedly said, "Is Master still blaming me for yesterday''s incident? Me apologizing to you for my offense still won''t do?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You''re thinking too much. I really don''t have any technique to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills. No alchemist has such a technique!"


    "But, I saw Master''s alchemy skills! Too amazing! There were many areas where I couldn''t understand at all!" Ren Dong said.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ren Dong and suddenly asked, "There''s already a peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse at your home. Why do you go so far as to barter the trunk for the branches, and you come to acknowledge me as your master?"


    Ren Dong suddenly heaved a sigh and said, "Although I haven''t learned Grandfather''s alchemy skills fully, I''ve already gotten 50% - 60% of the essence. What''s left is just the polishing of time, as well as the accumulation of experience. Following the prescribed order like this, I believe that I can also cultivate to peak Alchemy Sovereign one day."


    Ren Dong paused a bit, and he suddenly became somewhat agitated, "But I know that Grandfather''s alchemy skills are already at his limits and is incapable of ascending to the Divine Realm! If I walk along his old path, it''s simply impossible to surpass him. All the way until I saw the image of you refining pills, then only did I know how great the gap between us was!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. This boy''s ambition wasn''t small!


    But if one could not even achieve ascending to the Divine Realm, where lies the talk of walking to the extremes of the Alchemy Path?


    Ye Yuan took a look at the Ren Dong with a face full of anticipation and suddenly said with a smile, "Do you really want to acknowledge me as master?"


    Ren Dong was overjoyed when he heard this. "Master is willing to take me in?"


    "Huhu, you want to enter my tutelage, it''s not prohibited too. However . . . you have to pass my test."


    "No matter what kind of test it is, Ren Dong will definitely accomplish it!" Ren Don was still fully confident in himself.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t you want to know why I can refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills?"


    Ren Dong nodded his head fiercely but showed a difficult expression.


    If Ye Yuan''s test was to refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill, he could not accomplish that.


    "Haha. Don''t need to worry. I''m not making you refine a Quasi-Tier 4 transcendent-grade medicinal pill. Lesser Phaseless Art, you should know, right?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Ren Dong was dazed. Lesser Phaseless Art was the most basic refining technique. Even for a puny little Alchemy Apprentice, it was impossible to not know either.


    Ren Dong was a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King. How could he possibly not know the Lesser Phaseless Art?


    Ye Yuan smiled, and suddenly took out a stalk of Tier 1 herbal grass, his fingers moving like phantoms!


    At this movement, Ren Dong''s expression could not help changing dramatically!


    "Refining pills bare-handedly! This . . . This is Lesser Phaseless Art? No, wait! His fingers technique and seals are indeed the Lesser Phaseless Art without mistake, but . . . why can it be performed to such a level?" Ren Dong muttered under his breath.


    It was only to see that the medicinal herb bounced up and down non-stop in Ye Yuan''s hand as if it was alive.


    And the one who gave it life was precisely Ye Yuan!


    After twenty breaths, a tiny medicinal pellet appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    "T-Transcendent-grade! Using the Lesser Phaseless Art to refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill bare-handedly! Even though it''s only a Tier 1 medicinal pill, but . . . how is this possible?"


    Ren Dong was in a complete mess, speaking incoherently. But the astoundment in his heart was written on his face currently.


    As everyone knew, alchemists all needed to borrow medicinal cauldrons and flames to refine pills.


    Refining pills bare-handedly were completely forsaking these two, directing with essence energy and bare-handedly refining finished product medicinal pill.


    The degree of difficulty of doing this was hard to imagine for ordinary people!


    Don''t simply look at how Ren Dong was a Quasi-Alchemy King. To make him refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill bare-handedly, he simply could not do it!


    "I don''t need you to refine pills bare-handedly. You just have to use the Lesser Phaseless Art to refine out a Tier 1 transcendent-grade medicinal pill, and I''ll take you in as a disciple."


    Ye Yuan''s voice shocked Ren Dong awake abruptly. Only now did he recover to his sense. Surprised, he said, "Using the Lesser Phaseless Art to refine a Tier 1 transcendent-grade medicinal pill? How is that possible?"


    The moment he said that, Ren Dong wanted to smack his own mouth.


    Didn''t Ye Yuan just refine out a transcendent-grade medicinal pill just now? How was it impossible?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan even use bare-handed alchemy technique to refine it.


    Although it was a Tier 1 medicinal pill, the degree of difficulty in it, Ren Dong felt despair just thinking about it.


    "Whether it''s possible or not, that''s your business. This is my initiation test. If you can''t do it, don''t mention this matter again," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    With Ren Dong''s standards, going to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill, he naturally could refine out a transcendent-grade medicinal pill.


    But to let him use the Lesser Phaseless Art to refine a Tier 1 medicinal pill, it was impossible to refine no matter what.


    The Lesser Phaseless Art was the most basic refining technique, being extremely simple. There had never been anybody who could use such a simple technique to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills!


    This test was too hard!


    Ren Dong''s expression flickered, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I''ll definitely do it!"

 505 Thousand Query Wall

    Ren Dong immediately went back to practice the Lesser Phaseless Art after leaving Feng Ya Pavilion.


    Only after witnessing Ye Yuan''s methods did Ren Dong suddenly become aware that he seemed to have found a different sky.


    He, a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, was too undeserving.


    This strengthened his resolve to acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master even more!


    But with this disturbance, the mood of Ye Yuan and the two girls going out to sight-see dulled as well.


    Yet, right at this time, Xu Zihui came back after leaving not long ago. His expression was very ugly.


    "Young Master Ye, not good! Elder Skymaple he . . . he got detained by Exquisite Jade Pavilion!" Xu Zihui said somewhat anxiously.


    Ye Yuan knitted his brows when he heard that and asked, "What happened?"


    Xu Zihui hurriedly explained, "Elder Skymaple challenged the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s Thousand Query Wall. The result was that he failed. Elder Skymaple was unresigned and disputed a couple of words with them, and he got detained by Exquisite Jade Pavilion. I went to Exquisite Jade Pavilion after being informed of the news to ask for him. Also don''t know what wrong medicine they ate, to actually not give me face and held Elder Skymaple in custody, refusing to release him no matter what."


    "In this Wu Fang City, there are actually still things that your City Lord Manor can''t settle?" Ye Yuan said curiously


    This was Ye Yuan''s first time here. His head was covered in a fog about Wu Fang City''s forces distribution.


    In his view, although Xu Zihui was not a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse, a Ninth-Level Soul Sea Realm expert absolutely could be considered a famed and prestigious character in Wu Fang City.


    Furthermore, Xu Zihui was even the City Lord Manor''s first-class patrolling inspector. There were actually people who dared to not give him face!


    Xu Zihui forced a smile and said, "Young Master Ye is unaware. Although City Lord, His Excellency, is one of Wu Fang City''s strongest alchemists, Wu Fang City''s forces are intricate and complex. Some families, their forces are only slightly inferior compared to City Lord Manor, and can fully not give me any face."


    Xu Zihui briefly introduced the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s situation. Ye Yuan became absorbed in his thoughts.


    This Exquisite Jade Pavilion was a force belonging to Wu Fang City''s Cao Family. This Cao Family''s strength was exceedingly powerful too. The old patriarch in their family was middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign strength.


    While it was not as strong as City Lord Manor, it was also an extremely powerful faction in this Wu Fang City.


    If the City Lord or other Divine Traversing Realm experts in the City Lord Manor came forward, Exquisite Jade Pavilion would of course sell them the face.


    But Xu Zihui''s identity was a little inferior.


    Except that it was kind of weird thinking about it. Even though Xu Zihui was not considered the City Lord Manor''s upper echelon, if it were just causing some small dispute, the Exquisite Jade Pavilion would not go so far as to be so domineering.


    In between this, there should have some other reason.


    "How about . . . I go to City Lord, His Excellency, to report it and request his elderly self to come forward?" Xu Zihui asked probingly.


    But Ye Yuan did not speak and was pondering about something.


    Only after some time, did Ye Yuan look at Xu Zihui and ask, "What relationship does the Heavenly Evil Sect and Cao Family have?"


    With Ye Yuan saying this, Xu Zihui was dazed, and then immediately revealed a look of sudden realization.


    "Sigh! Look at this pig brain of mine! The Heavenly Evil Sect precisely belongs to the Cao Family''s sphere of influence. The Cao Family''s Third Young Master, Cao Fang, has close ties with the Heavenly Evil Sect''s Mao Yuanji! Oh, Cao Fang is the person with the greatest alchemy strength in the Cao Family''s junior generation; he is just slightly inferior compared to Young Master Ren Dong. He is also already middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King right now," Xu Zihui said.


    Xu Zihui''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with admiration. He himself had yet to even think of this aspect, and Ye Yuan an outsider actually guessed to such an extent already.


    Ye Yuan nodded after listening and said, "What is this Thousand Query Wall?"


    "This Thousand Query Wall is one of the Cao Family''s main attraction. Countless alchemists come to Wu Fang City, and many of them come for this Thousand Query Wall . . ." Xu Zihui explained.


    Turns out that in the history of Wu Fang City, the Cao Family had been glorious before too, even producing many generations of city lords. Among them, one of the city lords set up a Thousand Query Wall right in this Wu Fang City. The specific era was already unverifiable.


    The so-called Thousand Query Wall was where alchemists placed their own queries on this wall, offering a reward for other alchemists to come and answer.


    Through so many years'' accumulation, the questions on the Thousand Query Wall were already more than a thousand long ago.


    The questions on the Thousand Query Wall, as long as it was answered, it would be removed from the wall.


    But the queries raised by alchemists were far more than the queries resolved. With the accumulation of months and days, the questions on this Thousand Query Wall was already rather sizable.


    Furthermore, through the countless years of filtering, the difficulty of the questions on the Thousand Query Wall also became increasingly greater. Many of the problems, even peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses could not answer them either.


    Challenging the Thousand Query Wall, one first had to pay a certain amount of essence crystals. These essence crystals would belong to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion, which was owned by the Cao Family.


    If answered correctly, the alchemist would be able to take away the reward. If unable to answer, they could naturally only return empty-handed. Even the essence crystals from before were gone too.


    With so many years, the Cao Family relied on this Thousand Query Wall to earn countless riches.


    But even so, there were still countless alchemists advancing wave after wave to come to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to challenge the Thousand Query Wall.


    One could say that the reason why this Wu Fang City could become the Endless World''s alchemy holy land, this Thousand Query Wall''s contributions could not be forgone!


    Hearing Xu Zihui''s explanation, even Ye Yuan had no choice but to gasp in admiration at that generation''s city lord''s outstanding wisdom and resourcefulness as well.


    Such exchanges absolutely had tremendous advantages towards the heightening of alchemy skills.


    This Thousand Query Wall could be said to be an immensely valuable asset left behind by that generation''s city lord.


    Through so many years, many people who raised the query were no longer around anymore. Those questions naturally become ownerless objects.


    And these questions, each one of it being answered had tremendously important meaning in promoting the development of alchemy skills.


    And the Cao Family guarding such a treasure mountain could actually decline! It could be seen that this Cao Family was really rotten mud that could not even stick to a wall!


    "Want to challenge Thousand Query Wall, one must leave their background on the contract. The contract won''t be publicized. But the Cao Family''s people most likely have ways to see it. If this matter is really Cao Fang playing tricks behind, it''s rather troublesome," Xu Zihui said worriedly.


    "Looks like that Cao Third Young Master dug a pit for Grand Elder to jump into! Hehe, really thinking my Tranquil Cloud Sect is easy to bully?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    When Xu Zihui heard Ye Yuan''s tone, he knew that things were not good.


    The upper echelon meeting had yet to begin. Once Ye Yuan had a conflict with the Cao Family, it would probably incur many unnecessary problems.


    "Young Master Ye, how about . . . I still report this matter to City Lord, His Excellency? I think that in consideration of City Lord, His Excellency''s prestige, Cao Fang wouldn''t dare to not give you any face," Xu Zihui urged.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "City Lord, His Excellency, has to attend to a myriad of state affairs every day. This kind of minor thing, there''s no need to trouble his elderly self. This matter, I''ll settle it myself! Brother Zihui, bring me to Exquisite Jade Pavilion right now. I want to experience just how incredible this Thousand Query Wall is!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, directly leaving Feng Ya Pavilion!


    Xu Zihui could not stop in time and could only bemoan and follow after Ye Yuan.

 506 Afraid That You All Won’t Have Enough to Pay

    "I wonder what does this Sir needs? Medicinal pills, weaponry, martial techniques, cultivation methods, our Exquisite Jade Pavilion has everything that one desires."


    Ye Yuan walked into Exquisite Jade Pavilion slowly. It was really befitting of its name. There was a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits here. It could really be said to have everything that one desires.


    Many things that could not be seen in the outside world, this place basically had it all. It was just that their prices were too outrageous.


    Ye Yuan toured for a bit after entering the door, and a very beautiful female came up to greet him.


    Within the words actually carried a slight bewitching ring.


    Ye Yuan virtually confirmed right away that this woman definitely cultivated bewitching arts before. Furthermore, her attainments were not low.


    Ordinary people who enter would probably succumb to it unknowingly and willingly buy some things to go.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul was incomparably tempered. How could ordinary bewitching skills enter his all-discerning eyes?


    "I heard that inside this Exquisite Jade Pavilion, the most incredible thing is the Thousand Query Wall. It''s my first visit to Wu Fang City, but I came because of its fame too," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    When the girl saw that Ye Yuan''s eyes did not have any turbidness at all, she could not help being very surprised.


    Such a young age and actually had such powers of concentration. Presumably, he was not simple!


    This woman had read countless people and virtually saw through Ye Yuan''s uncommonness at first glance.


    "So, Sir wants to challenge the Thousand Query Wall. Ling-er could not tell. This way please, Sir."


    Ling-er brought Ye Yuan straight to the rear hall. After a few turns, it actually became bright and open.


    An enormous temple was in front of Ye Yuan. And in this huge temple, the most eye-catching were several hundred feet tall racks.


    The shelves had a total of seven levels. On each level, there were many tags sorted into categories.


    However, the further up it went, the lesser the tags on the shelves.


    Very clearly, the further up, the harder the problems that those tags represented.


    Ye Yuan swept simply. On the highest level shelf, there were only a hundred over tags.


    "Miss Ling-er, I wish to challenge this Thousand Query Wall. I wonder if there are any restrictive conditions?" Ye Yuan enquired.


    Ling-er smiled sweetly and said with a thousand charms, "Challenging the Thousand Query Wall doesn''t have restrictions. As long as you have sufficient essence crystals, you can even challenge all of the problems."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said smilingly, "Then that''s good. I wonder how much essence crystals are required to challenge once?"


    Ling-er said with a smile, "According to the different levels challenged, the fees are not the same as well."


    "Oh? I wonder how many essence crystals does challenging the seventh level require?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Ling-er smile could not help freezing. This boy had such a big tone! Opening his mouth and it was the seventh level right away!


    One had to know that those problems on the seventh level were all getting dusty, year in year out. Some problems were even placed there for several thousand years already.


    During these several thousand years'' time, how many Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses had Wu Fang City given birth to?


    But not a single one of these Alchemy Sovereign experts could answer those questions. It could be seen just how perverse this seventh level was.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength was not bad, his age was too young after all. Ling-er did not feel that Ye Yuan could answer the seventh level''s questions.


    "Hehe. It''s not that Ling-er is belittling Sir, but it''s just that the problems on the seventh level are a little too difficult. Sir is at the Sea Transformation Realm. The corresponding ones are the fourth level''s tags. If Sir wishes to challenge the fourth level, it''s 500 middle-grade essence crystals," Ling-er said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "I have essence crystals. Miss Ling-er doesn''t have to be courteous with me. I came today just to witness the Thousand Query Wall of the legends. Spending a few essence crystals to experience the most difficult problems, I''m willing to."


    Ling-er criticized him in her heart. This boy really has too much money with nowhere to spend, in a flurry to burn!


    But on the surface, Ling-er would not say it out. Deceiving a person on account of his generosity to spend unnecessary money, she would be more than willing to take them.


    Furthermore, Ling-er knew that while such extravagant wealthy people were rare, there were still that one or two who appear every period of time.


    "The further up, it naturally becomes more expensive. But the rewards are even more plentiful as well. If it''s the seventh level, 100 high-grade essence crystals per tag!" Ling-er said.


    Even for Ye Yuan, his face changed when he heard it too.


    The fourth level was 500 middle-grade essence crystals, which was also five pieces of high-grade essence crystals. But, at the seventh level, the prices actually flipped twenty times over!


    This was simply robbing essence crystals!


    No wonder Xu Zihui said that the Cao Family was wealthy until they flowed like water. Such fees, it was hard to not be wealthy!


    He just won 100 thousand middle-grade essence crystals from Ren Dong there. Adding it up, it was also just enough to exchange for ten tags. It was really such a scam.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Ling-er was contemptuous in her heart.


    A bumpkin from the countryside. Scared silly by the price already, right?


    100 high-grade essence crystals was not a small sum. Using it to take a look at the seventh level''s problems was truly a bit too wasteful.


    But Ling-er had really seen before people throwing out money just for the sake of taking a look at the seventh level''s problems.


    But very clearly, this boy before her eyes did not have that level of strength.


    "Hehe. I see that Sir is a man of striking appearance. Maybe you can really resolve the seventh level''s problems? How about you exchange for two to give it a shot?"


    Ling-er''s words sounded like flattery. Actually, it was a mockery.


    Although Ling-er felt that Ye Yuan was not ordinary, conversing to this extent, she already placed Ye Yuan in the ranks of morons.


    Maybe only morons would have no reaction to her bewitching arts, right?


    How could Ye Yuan not perceive the meaning in Ling-er''s words? But he really did not care.


    "If I answer the question, can I exchange for the reward on the spot?" Ye Yuan asked again.


    Hehe, this boy is an idiot, right? Really think that you could answer the seventh level''s questions?


    But a wealthy fool, not earning from you would be a waste!


    Straight away, Ling-er smiled sweetly and said, "That is of course. The owners of the questions deposited the rewards with our Exquisite Jade Pavilion. As long as people can answer the question, the rewards will be theirs."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Then that''s good. Give me ten tags first then."


    As he said, Ye Yuan casually threw out the storage ring he won from Ren Dong.


    "T-Ten? That''s a thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    Ling-er''s brain was a little short-circuited. She had seen before alchemists who spent money just for the sake of taking a look at the seventh level''s problems. But she had never encountered a customer who opened their mouths to ask for ten tags right away.


    Wasn''t such a way of burning money too profligate?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The essence crystals in this storage ring when added up should be around one thousand high-grade essence crystals. You can do an inventory check."


    Ling-er inserted her divine sense into it and briefly did a count. Indeed, it was a thousand high-grade essence crystals.


    Ling-er could not help drawing a cold breath and thought to herself: Extravagant. This was really extravagant.


    Earning a thousand high-grade essence crystals in one go, the commission today was not small. Ling-er gloated to herself endlessly in her heart too.


    Ling-er beamed widely and said, "Sir indeed carries yourself in an imposing manner. Come over here first to register your alchemist badge, then you can choose the tags."


    Ye Yuan nodded and followed Ling-er to one side to register.


    When she saw Ye Yuan take out the high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King badge, Ling-er expression could not help becoming stiff once more.


    Such a young high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King?


    Ye Yuan finished registering, and he seemed to have thought of something. He said to Ling-er with a smile, "Oh, right, forgot to tell you. Hurry up and notify the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s manager to let him prepare a bit more essence crystals. Otherwise, I''m afraid that you all won''t have enough to pay in a while."

 507 Does This Old Man Have the Qualifications?

    Ling-er gave Ye Yuan a strange look with her eyes. Now, she finally confirmed that this person was a moron.


    Or perhaps, this Ye Yuan was an impetuous person who did not understand the other person''s meaning!


    On the seventh level, over half were questions left behind for a thousand years.


    The other half questions were also left by some top alchemy path powerhouses within a thousand years.


    Without having peak Alchemy Sovereign strength and realm, it was simply impossible to resolve!


    This boy in front was merely 16 or 17 years of age. Putting aside resolving it, whether he could understand them or not was also an issue.


    Prepare essence crystals?


    You have got to be kidding!


    These one thousand high-grade essence crystals, Big Sister will accept it in your place!


    All of a sudden, the expression of the staff responsible for registration changed and gave Ling-er a look.


    Ling-er understood and moved closer.


    "You look, this boy and that old fellow are from the same sect!"


    Skymaple''s matters had just died down. The Exquisite Jade Pavilion was very sensitive to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, these three words. Hence, that staff noticed something wrong right away.


    When Ling-er checked, Ye Yuan''s background was indeed the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    With this, Ling-er was even more filled with disdain in her heart. Even the Alchemy King was taken care of, what could a Sea Transformation Realm brat do?


    Ling-er shot that staff a look. The staff understood and left. But Ling-er herself came in front of Ye Yuan in all smiles.


    "I wonder which tags sir is going to choose? There are a total of 136 tags on the seventh level, from No.1 to No.136. No.1 is the question left on the Thousand Query Wall for the longest time, and also the question universally acknowledged to have the greatest difficulty. The most recent one is No.136. It''s already five years since then and was issued by the Alchemist Association''s Chairman, Lord Dan Chenzi. The reward is 1500 high-grade essence crystals!" Ling-er explained to Ye Yuan with a smile.


    Ling-er''s and that staff''s behaviors, Ye Yuan noticed it all. But Ye Yuan pretended to not know.


    "Like that huh? Doesn''t that mean that the tags closer to the front, the greater the reward money?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "That''s how it is! The reward for the No.1 tag has already reached a sum of 5 million high-grade essence crystals to this date! This is an astronomical figure to martial artists! It''s just . . . the No.1 tag has already been there for several thousand years, but nobody could crack it all these while," Ling-er said smilingly.


    Ling-er was incredibly disdainful in her heart. It was really a toad lusting after a swan''s meat!


    Since ancient times, how many major powers wished to crack the problem in the No.1 tag. Among them, there was no shortage of some major powers who ascended to the Divine Realm.


    But up until today, the No.1 tag still was on the rack quietly.


    How could wanting to crack the No.1 tag be that easy?


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly when he heard and said, "Then give me tags No.126 to No.136 first. I''ll solve them for fun first."


    For fun?


    Hehe, don''t snivel in a while!


    Brat still wet behind your years, to actually dare run to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to act wildly!


    These one thousand high-grade essence crystals are probably not a small sum to your sect as well, right?


    Ling-er started gloating at others'' misfortune inwardly.


    Ever since she knew Ye Yuan''s identity, Ling-er was unwilling to give even the tiniest bit of favorable impression towards Ye Yuan.


    Before long, there was a staff who took down the last ten tags from the seventh rack and presented it before Ye Yuan.


    And this action caused a considerable stir as well.


    This main hall was very large and could accommodate up to ten thousand people. And the alchemists present at the scene was probably in the thousands as well.


    Furthermore, those who dare to come to the Thousand Query Wall for a challenge were mostly arrogant at heart and haughty in manner too; they were people with some strength to begin with.


    Of course, these people would pick the tags corresponding to their own strength.


    On the tags would have a summary of the corresponding problem. These alchemists would all select problems according to these summaries.


    Nobody dared to be like Ye Yuan, crossing levels to challenge problems. After all, anyone''s essence crystals were not cabbages too, to simply use to throw at the Exquisite Jade Pavilion.


    Among the alchemists present, the highest was also just a peak Alchemy King. If Alchemy Sovereigns did not have the need to, they would not come here.


    Hence, to these people, the seventh level was virtually a forbidden area-like existence.


    Apart from wanting to experience it a little, there was simply no one who dared to challenge the seventh level.


    And Ye Yuan drawing ten tags in one go immediately caused a sensation among the crowd.


    "Ten seventh level tags, is he crazy? Even Dan Chenzi and City Lord wouldn''t dare to challenge ten seventh level tags in one go too, right?"


    "Hehe, also don''t know which wealthy and influential family''s young master is this? This is gambling at high stakes! Ten tags, can he understand?"


    "Sigh. This boy is so young. Maybe he doesn''t even know what alchemy skills are at all. Such a pity. How great would it be to let me enrich my knowledge with these ten tags!"


    "So what if let you experience it a little? Isn''t it still pointless?"


    . . . . . .


    For a moment, many people''s gazes all looked towards Ye Yuan. But majority of the people all had disdainful looks.


    After all, a wealthy person spending large sums of money lavishly like this was the target for other people''s envy everywhere.


    Actually, Ye Yuan was really not a magnate. But since the Cao Family dared to dig the ground on top of his head, he would make the Cao Family pay a corresponding price!


    As an overlord of Wu Fang City, Ye Yuan did not believe that the Cao Family did not know that he received the City Lord''s invitation.


    Even so, the Cao Family still dared to provoke him. Then he did not have the need to give face to the other party anymore!


    "Sir, these are the ten tags that you chose. There is a jade slip in the box stuck to the tag, and the question that the employer raised is inside the jade slip. You just have to inscribe the answer in the blank jade slip inside. Our Exquisite Jade Pavilion has a consultant team made up of three Alchemy Sovereign powerhouses, specialized in being responsible for evaluating the answers. As long as your answer gets a pass from the consultant team, you''ll obtain the reward of essence crystals! We''ve prepared a quiet guest room for you. Sir can go to the guest room to slowly answer the questions," Ling-er explained with a smile.


    Although in Ling-er viewpoint, this sort of explanation wasn''t necessary at all, running into such a sucker, it was still better to provide a corresponding service.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ling-er and said with a smile that wasn''t a smile, "That''s to say that even if I answer correctly, this consultation team can say that I''m wrong?"


    Ling-er facial expression changed, the smile on her face becoming rather stiff.


    Ye Yuan''s words were clearly directed at Skymaple.


    In reality, Skymaple had indeed answered the question. But the consultation team still denied his answer. That was why Skymaple would have a dispute with the Exquisite Jade Pavilion in a moment of anger.


    "What is Sir saying here? The reputation of our Exquisite Jade Pavilion is well-known in the entire Endless World. Or else, how can there be so many experts who issue rewards at our place? There has never been anybody who dared to question our Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s reputation!" Ling-er''s words already carried some threat.


    But Ye Yuan did not care a whit and said with a smile, "Hehe, this is my first time here. I really don''t dare to believe your Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s reputation that much. So, I wish to add one more person to your consultation group."


    When Ling-er heard that, her face could not help darkening, "This Sir, is it possible that you''re here to cause trouble? Our consultation team has three Alchemy Sovereign experts. Who has the qualifications to join them?"


    Ling-er voice had yet to fate when an aged voice sounded out, "I wonder if this old man has this qualification?"


    [0] As some of you who are more astute, no.126 to no.136 is a total of 11 tags, not 10. Author fail math. I''ll leave it as it is because it affects the other chapters when they go through.

 508 Cao Fangs Grievance

    "It''s Master Wu Xuan. Why is he here?"


    "Master Wu Xuan is an Alchemist Association''s elder. Other than being on duty in the association, he rarely makes an appearance. Why did he show up here?"


    "Could it be that he''s here for this youth? Who on earth is this youth?"


    The arrival was precisely Wu Xuan!


    Ye Yuan obviously could not run to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion alone foolish. This was other people''s territory after all. Other people had the final say no matter what.


    The Alchemist Association was above worldly considerations. Coming here was all too perfect.


    Before coming, Ye Yuan told Xu Zihui to invite Wu Xuan here to back him up.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s attitude that day was not very good, looking at Wu Xuan''s thirsting after talent appearance, most likely, he was willing to provide this help.


    As expected, Wu Xuan really came.


    But this favor, Ye Yuan would remember it. In the future, there would naturally be reciprocation.


    "M-Master Wu Xuan, why are you here?" When Ling-er saw Wu Xuan, her expression became somewhat unnatural.


    The Alchemist Association meddling in the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s matters, this was not some good omen.


    Furthermore, Wu Xuan''s status was extremely high; he was not what a little lass like her could cope with.


    "This old man heard that there was somebody challenging the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level. Such a grand event naturally cannot be missed," Wu Xuan said coolly.


    "But . . . But . . ." Ling-er did not know what to say.


    Right at this moment, a voice sounded out, "Master Wu Xuan gracing us with your grand presence, it really honors the Exquisite Jade Pavilion tremendously! However . . . Master said that you wanted to join the consultation team earlier, isn''t that rather inappropriate?"


    The arrival was dressed in black robes, his appearance looking rather young. A badge was pinned on his chest. He was shockingly a middle-rank Quasi-Alchemy King!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed. Barring no accidents, this person was most probably that whatever Third Young Master Cao.


    Wu Xuan stroked his beard and said smilingly, "I''m only here to be a witness. Nobody has challenged the seventh level''s questions for very long. This old man is only here to join in the fun today."


    Cao Fang''s face fell slightly. With Wu Xuan holding down the fort here, some things were not nice to be done in a flagrant manner.


    He shot Ye Yuan at vicious glare, but then he said to Wu Xuan with a pleasant countenance, "Isn''t Master Wu Xuan stirring too much of a commotion? The seventh level already had no activity for five years. How old is this youth only? Merely here to take a stroll. Could he really stir up anything?"


    Wu Xuan gave Ye Yuan a look with a deep meaning and said with a smile, "Although this old man isn''t harboring any hopes either, I''m also looking forward to some pleasant surprise. I''m just here to be a spectator. I believe that the Cao Family won''t forbid it, right?"


    Cao Fang hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. Master Wu Xuan normally can''t even be invited. How will our Cao Family dare to shut the door in your face? Welcome, welcome to the utmost degree!"


    Cao Fang was very depressed. Every Alchemy Sovereign''s status was incredibly extraordinary, even if Wu Xuan was only a low-rank Alchemy Sovereign.


    An Alchemy Sovereign expert coming over to be a spectator, Cao Fang seriously could not find any reason to refuse.


    Furthermore, he was just Cao Family''s junior and completely did not have the qualifications to refuse either.


    But with Wu Xuan here, it was not very good to play tricks.


    It was true that the Cao Family''s consultation realm was famed for being impartial. But on this earth, what place were there that could really achieve true fairness?


    Within a very small boundary, Cao Fang could still make use of the Cao Family''s prestige to do some things.


    But if Wu Xuan was here, Cao Fang would be unable to do that anymore. That would ruin the Cao Family''s reputation.


    With reputation, the Cao Family''s Thousand Query Wall would not be able to carry on running too.


    This would be a catastrophic blow to the Cao Family.


    Of course, Cao Fang did not believe that a puny little Sea Transformation Realm like Ye Yuan could really answer the seventh level''s questions too.


    Cao Fang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a playful smile, "This distinguished one is really so courageous, taking on ten tags in one go. Even City Lord and Lord Chairman don''t have such breadth of spirit either!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Merely just one thousand high-grade essence crystals. Just playing around. Maybe among these ten questions, I''ll happen to know that one or two maybe by chance?"


    "You really dare to say that?! The questions on the seventh level, even the one published by Lord Chairman five years ago, nobody has answered them successfully to this date. You, a little Sea Transformation Realm, actually dare to engage in such wild talk!" Cao Fang was very displeased by Ye Yuan''s disparaging attitude.


    Hearing these words, Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Honorable Nephew Cao is looking down on Ye Yuan here. He already passed the high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King test at the Alchemist Association yesterday. Now, he''s already officially a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King! Moreover . . . he defeated Ren Dong yesterday!"


    When Wu Xuan''s words came out, everyone was amazed.


    A 16 years old high-rank Alchemy King? What kind of concept was this?


    Even Cao Fang was stunned too. He only heard his subordinate say that a Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple came, but he was unaware that Ye Yuan actually had such strength in alchemy.


    Ren Dong was the rival of his lifetime; he was an opponent that Cao Fang was unable to defeat even when he used all of his might too.


    But the target that he had no way of surpassing was actually defeated by this 16 years old youth before his eyes!


    This . . . was a little too jarring.


    But it was precisely so that he knew why Wu Xuan would make an appearance here today.


    "This youth is actually a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King! My God! How does he train alchemy? Isn''t this too monstrous as well? Furthermore, he even defeated the City Lord Manor''s Ren Dong. This . . . doesn''t this mean that he''s already the current junior generation''s number one person?"


    "Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! Looking at these young people, I instantly feel that I''m old!"


    "16 years old high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King. In the future, he''s bound to be a peak Alchemy Sovereign existence! Perhaps, he even has the possibility of shattering the void and assaulting the Divine Realm!"


    Wu Xuan''s words caused a huge stir among the crowd.


    Wu Xuan looked at Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "Ye Yuan, since you''ve already obtained the badge, why aren''t you wearing it?"


    After Ye Yuan just registered his badge for a bit, he kept it again.


    Hearing Wu Xuan say so now, it was not good to conceal it anymore. He could only take the badge out and wear it.


    "Hehe, this kid really doesn''t have the habit of wearing badges. Master Wu Xuan, please don''t take offense," Ye Yuan said with a flattering smile.


    "You this punk! Really left me speechless at what to say! Other people treat it like a treasure when getting the badge, but only you cast it away like a pair of worn out shoes! Sigh . . ." Wu Xuan scolded while smiling.


    Ye Yuan slightly lightly and did not explain either, and he said, "Better not waste anymore time. Let me take a look at what kind of questions are inside these ten jade slips."


    As he said, Ye Yuan came right in front of box No.136 and swept over that jade slip with divine sense.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s actions, even Wu Xuan held his breath too.


    Tag No.136. It was the contents that Lord Chairman published. As the Alchemist Association''s chairman, Wu Xuan was all too clear about the contents inside the jade slip.


    Ye Yuan''s speed of checking the jade slip was very quick. He only used several breaths of time and then placed it back.


    "How is it? Any confidence?" Wu Xuan could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Let me take a look at the others first."

 509 Ye Yuans Sick Plan!

    When Wu Xuan saw the situation, he could not help laughing in spite of himself and said, "You this punk are even keeping people in suspense. I''m really helpless against you! Forget it, forget it! You take a look first."


    "Tch, don''t know means don''t know; pretending rather well! Even if you''re a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, so what? These five years, a total of dozen over Alchemy Sovereign experts had challenged the No.136 question. Among them even included Lord Chairman. But not a single one succeeded. With the likes of you, can you even answer it?" Cao Fang laughed mockingly.


    Although Cao Fang''s words were not pleasant to the ears, the alchemists present all secretly approved of it.


    Ren Xingchun and Dan Chenzi, the two of them practically represented the Endless World''s Alchemy Path''s highest standards.


    Questions that even they could not answer basically meant that it was unsolvable and could belong to the conjecture category.


    This kind of conjectures, with the Endless World''s standard, there was simply no way of answering.


    Except, they were unaware that Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards surpassed the Endless World''s standards in the first place.


    Ye Yuan gave Cao Fang a look, but then he said with a faint smile, "Third Young Master Cao, if I can answer this question No.136, I won''t take a single penny of Lord Chairman''s essence crystal reward. All for your Cao Family, how about that?"


    Cao Fang''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that and asked, "What terms do you have?"


    "Release Elder Skymaple, and you offer an apology to him. How about that?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cao Fang had long foreseen that Ye Yuan would say this, and said with a cold smile, "Heh, that old fellow failed the challenge and even slandered my Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s reputation. He naturally can''t be forgiven easily. My Cao Family has stood in Wu Fang City for several thousand years. What we rely on is reputation this word. How can wanting to let him go be so easy? Unless that old fellow is willing to come forward himself and admit that he slandered the Cao Family."


    Cao Fang saw that Ye Yuan looked like he had a well-thought-out plan, but Cao Fang was reluctant to give in, shoving reputation this word over.


    He initially thought that Ye Yuan would fly into a great rage. But Ye Yuan just nodded his head lightly and said, "Then that can''t be helped. Third Young Master better hurry and go raise the essence crystals now. I''m afraid that your Cao Family can''t bring out so many essence crystals in a while."


    Ye Yuan''s calm and collected manner was as if everything was under control.


    Looking at his manner, this seventh level''s question No.136 was like a pile of crap in his eyes.


    Of course, this was not how others saw it.


    In reality, these questions were indeed a pile of crap in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s objective was very simple, which was to challenge the Thousand Query Wall; he wanted to challenge them all the way until the Cao Family went bankrupt!


    These essence crystal rewards were under the Cao Family''s charge, but they would not lie there untouched. The Cao Family naturally wasn''t willing to do something so silly. Those essence crystals, they would definitely use to do other things.


    But these several thousand years, all of the alchemists who answered the questions, the Cao Family would pay out the full sum according to the reward amount. There had never been a missing sum.


    Even if the person who raised the question was already a dead person.


    It was also precisely because of this that the Cao Family could ensure it''s powerful reputation.


    Ye Yuan had long known that the Cao Family''s reputation was already deeply engraved in people''s hearts along the way. So he did not clash head-on, coming out to question Cao Family''s prestige issue.


    That way, other people simply would not believe. He would instead become a vile character who defamed the Cao Family.


    Even someone as powerful as Wu Xuan would not come out to question the Cao Family''s prestige either, let alone Ye Yuan whose words carried little weight.


    Hence, Ye Yuan found another path. He was going to keep challenging question after question. He was going to make the Cao Family be unable to take out so many available essence crystals!


    Ye Yuan did not believe that at the end, the Cao Family still dared to not release people!


    Ye Yuan dared to do this entirely because of his incomparably formidable strength in alchemy!


    If it were another person, how would they dare to use this kind of extreme method?


    When Cao Fang heard Ye Yuan''s words, he just took it for a joke and said indifferently, "If you have the capabilities, then make my Cao Family be unable to take out so many essence crystals! So many alchemists are watching here. Don''t be all talk and no action. Who doesn''t know how to talk big?"


    Many people saw Ye Yuan say such arrogant words, and all could not stifle their laughter.


    "Haha! Still young and impetuous! Even if he can really answer Lord Dan Chenzi''s question, how can the problems in front be that easy to resolve?"


    "That''s right! Being arrogant has to have a limit too, no? These several thousand years, the Thousand Query Wall only accumulated this hundred over questions. If he answered all of them, wouldn''t the alchemy powerhouses in these thousands of year all be unfit to carry shoes for him?"


    "Haha! Young people don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. His attitude can still be understood!"


    Ye Yuan did not refute. He just nodded his head slightly and started examining the No.135 jade slip.


    Ye Yuan''s examining speed was very fast. He practically just gave a brief scan and placed it down.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s actions, the others felt even more that Ye Yuan was out to posture.


    The Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level''s questions were all incomparable profound. Even understanding it needed to expend a very long time.


    Ye Yuan just used several breaths of time before putting the jade slip down. He did not even think about it at all. How could he answer them?


    Even Wu Xuan was also rather disappointed seeing Ye Yuan''s actions.


    In his heart, he naturally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer these questions. But at the thought of Ye Yuan''s performance yesterday, he somehow had some more anticipation in his heart.


    This was the fundamental reason why he was willing to come!


    Same as Ren Dong, Wu Xuan also viewed the video which recorded Ye Yuan refining pills anew. Using marvelous work of art was insufficient to describe it!


    Refining standards such as this, even he, an Alchemy Sovereign, was unable to achieve them at all.


    Wu Xuan was very curious; what kind of person could nurture such a heaven-defying junior?


    Very soon, Ye Yuan put down the No.126 jade slip. This was considered him reading finish all the questions.


    "Boy, these ten questions are all unbelievably difficult. You probably can''t even study in detail within a short period of time. The Exquisite Jade Pavilion has individual rooms and pill refining rooms. You can experiment while you answer," Wu Xuan reminded.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer these questions in such a short time.


    Him asking Ye Yuan before was just wanting to ask if Ye Yuan had any hopes of answering, and not to answer right away.


    The Chairman''s question, he himself studied it for a very long time too. He would even take it out to study for a bit occasionally, but he still was unable to find the correct approach.


    Even if Ye Yuan was any more monstrous, it was not possible to answer so quickly either.


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No need. Third Young Master Cao, invite the consultation team here. I''ll answer finish in one shot. Saves the trouble too. As it happens, Master Wu Xuan is here too. Be a witness for me then."


    "What? You want to answer right now? There are over a thousand alchemists watching here. Don''t make a fool out of so many people!" Cao Fang was taken aback with shock by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I just want to answer in front of so many people''s faces. Otherwise, wouldn''t everybody miss out on a great show? Enough nonsense, I''m going to inscribe the jade slips right now. They still need a very long time to evaluate it. Don''t drag the time."

 510 So Thats How It Is!

    The jade slips were prepared ready. Ye Yuan casually picked up a jade slip and started inscribing the solution to No.136.


    This kind of inscribing did not need to use up too much time. Ye Yuan finished inscribing the jade slip soon enough.


    Ye Yuan did not delay either, directly picking up the second jade slip to inscribe.


    When Cao Fang saw this scene, he sneered coldly inwardly.


    Even if you are heaven-defying, could you really answer all ten of these questions?


    If this was really the case, wouldn''t my Cao Family putting up this Thousand Query Wall become a joke?


    "Come, men. Invite the consultation team''s three elders here!" Cao Fang instructed.


    Since Ye Yuan wished to be embarrassed, then just let him be disgraced!


    When the three elders directly rejected his answer, see what else he has to say.


    Very soon, three Alchemy Sovereign experts were invited into the main hall.


    Like this, there were four Alchemy Sovereign experts in the main hall. Furthermore, in the consultation team, there was even a middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign. Such a line-up could be rated as extravagant.


    "Yii? Wu Xuan, why are you here as well?" asked one of the Alchemy Sovereign experts in surprise.


    "Hehe, Liu Yun, I''m here today for this boy." Wu Xuan pointed at the Ye Yuan who was currently inscribing jade slips.


    Liu Yan trio took a look at Ye Yuan, and their gaze involuntarily turned intense. "Who is this young man? To actually challenge ten seventh level problems in one go?"


    What they were surprised by was Ye Yuan''s lavishness and not Ye Yuan''s courage.


    In these three people''s perspective, Ye Yuan was simply being comical. Except, they could not figure out why Wu Xuan who was an Alchemy Sovereign expert would accompany a child to mess around here.


    "Three elders, he''s called Ye Yuan. Merely someone talking big to impress people. It was only on account of Elder Wu Xuan''s face that I invited three elders to move your grand presence to the main hall."


    "Uh, that''s fine. We received Cao Family''s appointment, so we naturally have to put in some effort. Old Brother Wu Xuan is worthy of us moving here. It''s just that which family''s child is this young man? Playing around too much. Old Brother Wu Xuan, why are you accompanying him to kick up a row too?" said the middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign.


    "Hehe, Old Brother Zhu Jiang don''t make an error of judgment. This youth has some capabilities. Answering ten in one go might be messing around a little, but if one of them, I feel that there is a possibility!" Wu Xuan said.


    When Zhu Jiang heard Wu Xuan''s words, he could not help being slightly stunned.


    What kind of person Wu Xuan was, he was very clear.


    Wu Xuan''s conduct was prudent and was also very experienced and vigorous when refining pills. He never did frivolous things.


    Today, he actually praised a youngster in front of everyone like so. Could it be that this youngster was really out of the ordinary?


    The other two could not help sizing up Ye Yuan too, but they could not perceive the slightest extraordinary aspect.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan''s speed of inscribing the jade slips was too fast. No matter how one looked, it was also like being mischievous.


    To answer the seventh level''s questions, any one of them would need a person to expend massive amount of time and energy. Who would answer the way he did?


    If Ye Yuan challenged one before and went back to do enormous amounts of research, then came back to challenge again now, that would give no cause for criticism.


    But answering ten in one go, was there any other explanation other than messing around?


    "Old Brother Wu Xuan, this joke cannot be made! What kind of degree the seventh level''s questions reached, you''re aware. He, a youth still wet behind his ears, can answer them?" Zhu Jiang said in disbelief.


    Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Whether he can answer or not, I''m not certain either. But I have a feeling that maybe he can really answer?"


    "Done!"


    Zhu Jiang had yet to ask again, and Ye Yuan''s voice came over.


    "Hiss . . ."


    The alchemists present all drew a cold breath. Wasn''t this answering speed a little too quick?


    "Heh, this boy is really gutsy enough, to make four Alchemy Sovereign experts mess around with him! Wonder what kind of expression Master Zhu Jiang, the three of them, will have in a moment."


    "Such a fast speed is completely fooling people! How can the seventh level''s questions be answered so quickly?"


    "Although this youngster''s strength isn''t bad, his temperament still needs tempering! Such a way of trying to impress people by sensationalizing things is really too disgracing."


    Seeing Ye Yuan finish inscribing the jade slip so quickly, those alchemists basically already lost interest in continuing to watch.


    If not for several Alchemy Sovereign experts being here, they probably wouldn''t even be bothered to look.


    "Young man, are you sure that you''re not making a fool out of us few old fellows? Although Old Brother Wu Xuan regards you very highly, you yourself need to have a sense of propriety as well!" Zhu Jiang said with a deep meaning.


    "Huhu, how can Ye Yuan dare to beguile Seniors? Whether I answered correctly or not, Seniors will know after evaluating it for a bit. It''s just . . . Seniors don''t go against your conscience to judge them, and that will do," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    When Ye Yuan''s words came out, Zhu Jiang trio were startled in their hearts.


    The three of them actually were not subordinate to the Cao Family. They were only holding down the fort at this Thousand Query Wall on behalf of the Cao Family.


    This was already the Cao Family''s custom. The consultation team would change once every five years. The Alchemy Sovereign experts invited over had no relations whatsoever with the Cao Family.


    This way, it would ensure the fairness to the greatest limit.


    It was also precisely because of this relationship that although the Cao Family had declined now, it was an immensely powerful faction in this Wu Fang City and even in the entire Endless World.


    This kind of approach was not wrong. It was just that Zhu Jiang trio received the Cao Family''s appointment all year round, they would naturally have to take away quite a bit of benefits from the Cao Family.


    Cao Fang troubling them for a bit because of some minor thing, they naturally found it hard to decline.


    Ye Yuan''s words earlier were lightly pointing it out to them.


    But these few people were all experienced and shrewd with age. They naturally would not show it on their faces.


    "Haha, good. Indeed, heroes come from youngsters. This old man will take a look first to see if your answer makes sense or not.


    As he said, Zhu Jiang was about to go take the No.136 answer.


    "Old Brother Zhu Jiang, this question No.136 was issued by Lord Chairman. Wu Xuan is incapable, but I wonder if I can cut in front to examine it first?" Wu Xuan suddenly called out.


    Zhu Jiang was stunned, but he nodded and said, "Since Old Brother Wu Xuan is in such a mood, what''s the harm in letting you look first?"


    Zhu Jiang did not care at all. Because he totally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer it.


    "Haha, then I thank Old Brother Zhu Jiang!"


    As he said, Wu Xuan gave Ye Yuan a long meaningful look and took up the No.136 answer that Ye Yuan inscribed.


    Wu Xuan''s divine sense sunk into the jade slip. In the beginning, he still looked calm and composed.


    But with the passing of time, Wu Xuan''s brows gradually knitted tightly together!


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help becoming curious. Could it be that this boy''s answers really still had some knack to it?


    But Cao Fang sneered coldly inside. These two people''s two-man act was really realistic. Even he was fooled too.


    It was just that, one still needed to speak with the truth in the end!


    "What? Old Brother Wu Xuan, is it possible that this answer really still has some knack to it?" Although Zhu Jiang was asking Wu Xuan, he clearly still did not believe.


    Actually, his thoughts were roughly the same as Cao Fang''s. It was that Wu Xuan and Ye Yuan were acting out a two-man show.


    "Hahaha! So that''s how it is! So that''s how it is!" All of a sudden, Wu Xuan started laughing maniacally, his entire person appearing extremely excited.

 511 All Correct!

    "No wonder! No wonder it couldn''t be refined no matter what! So that''s how it is! Hahaha! When Lord Chairman sees this jade slip, he''ll surely be very delighted!"


    Wu Xuan suddenly took out a communication talisman and inserted some essence energy. The communication talisman vanished with a swoosh.


    Seeing Wu Xuan''s expression, Cao Fang''s heart involuntarily palpitated.


    Could it be that this boy really answered the question No.136?


    "Old Brother Wu Xuan, is it possible that . . ." Zhu Jiang asked in puzzlement.


    Only now did Wu Xuan come to a realization. He passed the jade slip to Zhu Jiang and said, "Dear me, Old Brother Zhu Jiang, apologies, apologies. This question is from Lord Chairman. I''ve researched it for a very long time too. But I keep feeling that there are some places which I don''t understand, and it cannot be solved no matter what. Now that I suddenly have a clear understanding, I''m seriously too excited!"


    "Hiss . . . It was really answered?" Zhu Jiang was still somewhat suspicious.


    "Hehe, you''ll know when you take a look." Wu Xuan could not be bothered to be long-winded with him too. Let him verify himself, and he would naturally know.


    Zhu Jiang started checking the contents inside the jade slip doubtfully, his brows similarly becoming increasingly tighter.


    After a long while, Zhu Jiang silently passed the jade slip to Liu Yun. Liu Yun passed the jade slip to the other Alchemy Sovereign after checking it.


    After the three people finished looking, they exchanged glances, and none of them spoke.


    Cao Fang was long sitting on pins and needles by the side. At this time, how could he still endure it? He could not help opening his mouth and asked, "Three masters, just what is the result?"


    Zhu Jiang looked at Cao Fang deeply and slowly opened his mouth to say, "Lord Dan Chenzi''s question is rather famous. This elderly self had researched it before too. Just as Old Brother Wu Xuan said, it was just unsolvable in a certain area, unable to break through it. Just now, seeing the description inside this jade slip, we finally see the light! This question No.136 is finally resolved after a time interval of five years!"


    Cao Fang''s heart seemed to seize violently for a bit as he looked at Ye Yuan disbelievingly.


    This boy actually really answered it!


    If Wu Xuan still had the possibility of playing out a carefully choreographed dance with Ye Yuan, the consultation team''s three Alchemy Sovereign experts absolutely would not lie!


    How could this boy be so monstrous? A question that even peak Alchemy Sovereign experts could not answer, he could actually answer it so easily!


    Although alchemists had no restrictions in realm regarding the stockpiling of knowledge, a person''s energy was limited. The corresponding level could generally only understand the alchemy knowledge at the same level.


    Even if somebody had spare energy to learn other things, it was also at most just a little exceeding the present level.


    But this Ye Yuan was just a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, and yet, he crossed two major realms to answer a peak Alchemy King level question. Just how perverse was this?!


    Cao Fang''s expression was incomparably ugly. He knew that regardless whether Ye Yuan''s questions at the back was answered correctly or not, Ye Yuan''s name would shake Wu Fang City with the help of today''s events!


    "Third Young Master Cao, how much is the reward for this question No.136?" Ye Yuan asked with a half-smile.


    Cao Fang looked like he ate a fly right now. He squeezed out a few words from the crevices between his teeth, "10 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, "Like this huh, doesn''t that mean that not only are my essence crystals back already, I even earned nine thousand high-grade essence crystals instead? Huhu, this transaction is worth it. This money, keep it on the tab first. After these ten questions are all assessed finish, pay it to me together. Three seniors, continue then."


    Zhu Jiang could not refrain from sizing Ye Yuan up a couple of times. He was speculating if Ye Yuan guessed this question or relied on true ability to answer it.


    If it was relying on genuine capability, then this youth was too terrifying.


    High-rank Quasi-Alchemy King strength and he actually already possessed knowledge surpassing peak Alchemy Sovereign.


    If this was really the case, then alchemist ranks simply had no bottlenecks to him at all!


    As long as he practiced a powerful soul incantation, he could advance all the way free and unimpeded.


    Seeing how Ye Yuan had such strength at this young age, the soul incantation that he cultivated could not be lousy too no matter what.


    "Okay. This old man will take a look at this question No.135!"


    As he said, Zhu Jiang sunk his divine sense into the jade slip once more.


    . . . . . .


    At the same time, inside a hidden chamber in the Alchemist Association, a communication talisman suddenly lit up.


    The eyes of Dan Chenzi who was currently in closed-seclusion lit up, and he muttered, "The Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill that I researched for so many years, I could not find the right approach all along. Now, there is actually somebody who could crack that barrier! I want to see just where this youngster comes from!"


    Finished talking, Dan Chenzi''s figure moved, vanishing from within the hidden chamber.


    . . . . . .


    At the Exquisite Jade Pavilion, the crowd already descended into a frenzy at this time.


    "Question No.135 is correct too! Oh my God! Just what kind of background does this youngster have! To actually have such skill!"


    "If question No.136 were like a dead rat falling into the clutches of a blind cat, then this question No.135 couldn''t be described using luck, right?"


    "The Thousand Query Wall has stood erect in Wu Fang City for a history of several thousand years. Such a grand occasion most likely has never appeared before! You guys, do you think that he can resolve all ten of these questions?"


    "Are you joking? Answering all ten questions, just extensive to what kind of degree does this youth''s alchemy knowledge have to be?!"


    Ten questions being all correct!


    Seeing Ye Yuan answer two questions correctly in succession, this idea popped up uncontrollably in many people''s head.


    Not knowing why, although reason told them that this was something impossible, they kept on harboring some hope in their hearts and felt that Ye Yuan might really be able to complete them!


    Time passed by the minute. The expression on Zhu Jiang''s face became increasingly solemn.


    Even that initially constantly jolly Wu Xuan, the expression on his face right now became extremely fascinating too.


    "No.134, correct! Reward money, 12 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    "No.133, correct! Reward money, 14 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    . . . . . .


    "No. 126, correct! Reward money, 15 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    Roughly six hours later, Cao Fang''s complexion was already deathly pale.


    "This . . . How is this possible? Question No.126 has already existed for over a decade. A number of middle-rank Alchemy Sovereigns and above major powers came forward to challenge it before. But not a single person succeeded. How on earth did this brat accomplish it?"


    Cao Fang''s brain blanked out. Ye Yuan''s performance smashed his confidence bit by bit!


    "Third Young Master Cao, the total is 136 thousand and five hundred high-grade essence crystals. Now . . . can the bill be settled?" Ye Yuan looked at Cao Fang and said nonchalantly.


    When these words came out, everyone looked at Ye Yuan very astoundedly.


    In these alchemists'' view, the significance of answering these ten questions was far greater than the importance of this 130 thousand high-grade essence crystals.


    This Ye Yuan actually asked Cao Fang for essence crystals at the first moment. This manner of eating him up . . .


    Looking at that indifferent look of Ye Yuan''s, Cao Fang swore in his heart and said through clenched jaws, "Terrific boy! You really came prepared! Come, men! Pay the essence crystals to him!"


    The Exquisite Jade Pavilion was indeed immensely wealthy. They gathered 136 thousand and five hundred high-grade essence crystals very quickly.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out to receive the storage ring while saying to Ling-er with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Ling-er. I''m going to challenge question No.125 now. I''ll have to trouble Miss Ling-er to help out deduct the fees from inside."


    Ling-er was frightened until her hands trembled when she heard that, and the storage ring slipped off her hands.

 512 Alarming Big Shots!

    "What? He still wants to challenge No.125?"


    "Today is really an eye-opener! When did such a heaven-defying junior appear in our Endless World?"


    "Hehe, still junior? Your alchemy standards aren''t even fit to carry shoes for him, right?"


    ". . . . . ."


    Ye Yuan used essence energy to grab it gently. Then storage ring then landed in his hand gently.


    "Miss Ling-er is a person who trains in martial arts too. Why can''t you even hold a storage ring firmly?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "I . . . I . . ."


    Ling-er was long shocked dizzy by Ye Yuan''s performance already. Hearing that Ye Yuan still wanted to continue challenging now, she cried even more bitterly without ceasing in her heart.


    Still want commission huh. This time, she definitely was going to be beaten up to death by the Third Young Master!


    When Cao Fang heard Ye Yuan''s words, his expression flickered irregularly.


    At this moment, he finally confirmed that Ye Yuan was not joking with him.


    This fellow was really going to win away all of the Cao Family''s available essence crystals!


    Before this, Cao Fang felt that Ye Yuan was talking big. But now, he was already utterly without confidence.


    Ye Yuan already answered all ten questions. Who dared to guarantee that he could not answer the eleventh one, or the twelve one?


    "Come men. Take down box No.125!" Cao Fang said in a grim voice.


    A staff brought box No.125 in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan smiled faintly and casually took up the jade slip. He then sunk his divine sense inside.


    Everyone held their breaths, looking at the Ye Yuan with shut eyes.


    Same as before, Ye Yuan finished browsing the contents in the jade slip very quickly, and started inscribing.


    Before long, through Zhu Jiang and the four of their evaluations, Ye Yuan was correct once again!


    "Question No.125, correct! Reward money, 20 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    Looking from the reward money, the difficulty of question No.125 clearly went up another level!


    The reward monies previously all increased by a thousand or five hundred. But this time, it swelled by 5 thousand high-grade essence crystals in one shot!


    But, this did not seem to be any different to Ye Yuan from before. He practically used the same amount of time to answer it.


    Instead, it was Zhu Jiang the four of them who spent increasingly longer time to assess it.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not stop. He chose to continue challenging No.124!


    A period of time later, Zhu Jiang''s voice sounded once more, "Question No.124, correct! Reward money, 21 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    "Question No.123, correct! Reward money, 22 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    . . . . . .


    Question No.116, correct! Reward money, 33 thousand high-grade essence crystals!"


    Every period of time, Zhu Jiang''s voice was like a heavy hammer, pounding everyone''s chest, and making them practically feel asphyxiated.


    This Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level, each time a question was answered, it would cause a stir in the entire city.


    The alchemists present were all extremely excited in the beginning. But by this time, they felt a chill deep down in their hearts.


    Question No.116 had already been placed there for close to a hundred years. Nobody answered it all this while.


    This question''s degree of difficulty was already not on the same level as Dan Chenzi''s problem.


    But Ye Yuan took his time to answer it from start to end, as if all of the questions were at the tip of his fingers.


    This youth . . . was too scary!


    After these ten questions, Ye Yuan''s reward money already accumulated to a terrifying sum of 260 thousand high-grade essence crystals!


    Under normal circumstances, alchemists were all comparatively wealthy. But an Alchemy King''s total net worth was at most just several tens of thousands of high-grade essence crystals too.


    The prize money that Ye Yuan won right now was already ten times of an ordinary Alchemy King!


    Furthermore . . . Ye Yuan was still continuing answering!


    Cao Fang''s expression was already black like the bottom of a pot. He truly found it hard to dismount the tiger now.


    Previously, Ye Yuan said to use the monetary reward to exchange for Skymaple, and he was unwilling to. Now, in front of so many people''s faces, did he have to beg Ye Yuan to take Skymaple?


    This slap of his slapping down, how would he have a foothold in Wu Fang City in the future?


    But if he did not release Skymaple, Ye Yuan would really bankrupt the Cao Family!


    400 thousand high-grade essence crystals was merely a hair from nine oxen to the entire Cao Family. But the problem was that the monetary reward at the back was increasingly terrifying. Continuing like this, the Cao Family really would not have available essence crystals to pay it off.


    Moreover, if Ye Yuan really kept winning all the way, it would be a tremendous blow to the Thousand Query Wall''s fame and prestige.


    This was an outcome that the Cao Family could not bear!


    If Old Patriarch knew what happened here, he would surely fly into a great rage!


    What to do right now?


    Right at this time, a hoarse and aged voice reverberated throughout the entire main hall.


    "Apologies. The Thousand Query Wall is temporarily closed today. Fellow men of the same line present, each person can draw ten pieces of high-grade essence crystals from the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s front door to show my Cao Family''s apologies."


    A figure suddenly appeared beside Cao Fang. When those alchemists saw that figure, their pupils involuntarily constricted.


    This person was none other than precisely the Cao Family''s old patriarch, a middle-rank Alchemy Sovereign, Cao Zheng!


    "Grandfather!" When Cao Fang saw the arrival, he could not help being overjoyed.


    Cao Zheng showing up, those alchemists knew that this show today could not carry on anymore.


    These alchemists were just about to bow-out when Ye Yuan said leisurely, "I heard that the Cao Family keeps a foothold on this earth with the word impartial. But why are you carrying out this bias matter today?"


    Cao Zheng did not think that Ye Yuan would dare to be so unbridled in front of him too. His expression could not help darkening as he said, "The Exquisite Jade Pavilion is only closing for a day. How is it something bias?"


    When those alchemists sensed the thick smell of gunpowder, they could not help stopping.


    Ye Yuan looked at Cao Zheng and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily, "Although the Thousand Query Wall originated from the Cao Family, through thousands of years of development, it has already become the Wu Fang City and even the Endless World''s symbol. Hence, even though this Thousand Query Wall is still maintained by the Cao Family, it''s no longer owned by the Cao Family. Every alchemist has the right to raise and answer questions here! Presumably, there has never been such an act of closing shop since the Thousand Query Wall was established until today, right? Could it be just because this junior answered a few seventh level''s questions, senior is going to close shop? Isn''t an action such as this, depriving all the alchemists in the world of their right to a pilgrimage? Isn''t it something bias?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, all the alchemists secretly cheered in their hearts.


    They were different from the Cao Family. They naturally wished to see these seventh level''s questions be breached one by one.


    Such a grand occasion was hard to encounter even once in a thousand years. How could they miss it?


    Although they all knew that this was the Cao Family wanting to ensure the Thousand Query Wall''s prestige and stature, this indeed damaged everybody''s interests.


    Cao Zheng''s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that. A faintly discernible killing intent gradually washed over towards Ye Yuan.


    "This Ren will be a peacemaker today. Everybody all disperse!" Right then, another voice sounded out.


    An elderly man appeared in the crowd. Everyone''s faces changed.


    Cao Zheng looked at the arrival rather surprisedly, and he gave a slight bow, saying, "To think that today''s matter actually alarmed City Lord. It''s this Cao''s fault."


    But Ren Xingchun did not bother with Cao Zheng and yelled, "Since Lord Chairman came as well, why not show yourself?"


    All the alchemists were shocked inwardly. This line-up today really became progressively greater.

 513 Just Want an Apology!

    "Hur hur, to think that City Lord actually came here personally."


    A figure floated down and landed. Who could it be but Dan Chenzi?


    Ren Xingchun did not follow up, but he said in a solemn voice, "You guys aren''t withdrawing yet. Could it be that you want me to make a move personally?"


    Those alchemists were startled when they heard that and hastily withdrew from the main hall.


    The irrelevant people all left. The atmosphere here became rather odd.


    Ren Xingchun, Dan Chenzi, Cao Zhen, Zhu Jiang, and the rest, their gazes all gathered on Ye Yuan as if trying to see through Ye Yuan.


    Facing the gazes from a group of leviathans, Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit fearful and said indifferently, "Is it possible that Seniors want to join hands to bully a junior like me?"


    The expression on everyone''s faces became strange. Junior was it . . .


    To be able to answer 20 questions from the seventh level so effortlessly, could such an individual really be considered a junior?


    "Huhu, where did that come from? Little Brother Ye, I received Wu Xuan''s summons and specially came here to express thanks to you. This Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill, I''ve researched it for several decades but keep on being unable to find the breakthrough point. Didn''t think that I would actually get the solution from your hands today," Dan Chenzi said with a gentle smile.


    "Lord Chairman don''t need to be polite. You raised the question, I received the reward. We''re both even. No need to say the word thanks," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When these words came out, everyone drew a cold breath.


    Daring to speak like this to Dan Chenzi, apart from Ren Xingchun, there was probably only this one before their eyes, right?


    But Ye Yuan did not care. His gaze looked towards Ren Xingchun heatedly, but his tone became cold, "City Lord invited me to come to Wu Fang City, but couldn''t even protect my sect''s elder properly. Now that I came to ask for people, City Lord came to cause trouble. Is this your Wu Fang City''s hospitality?"


    But Ren Xingchun was not a good-natured one. Hearing Ye Yuan said so, he immediately became enraged, "You, this punk, are exceedingly rude! The Thousand Query Wall is my Wu Fang City''s totem-like existence. Your way of doing things is a little too over the top!"


    "Heh, over the top is it? I gave him a chance. It''s he who didn''t want it! Since that''s the case, he will have to pay a corresponding price for this! I, Ye Yuan, don''t stir up trouble for nothing, but I''m not afraid of trouble either!" Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.


    When the other early-rank Alchemy Sovereigns and middle-rank Alchemy Sovereigns heard Ye Yuan''s tone of speaking, they all secretly broke into a sweat.


    Dan Chenzi and Ren Xingchun were both the Endless World''s peak existences. Ye Yuan offending all of them, how coarse a nerve did this need?!


    "What a fine not afraid of trouble! Your Tranquil Cloud Sect forcibly occupied my Wu Fang City''s territory. I didn''t even find you to settle the score and you come to be unbridled with me instead!" Ren Xingchun''s fury became greater and greater. As he spoke, it deviated off topic already.


    Wu Xuan saw the situation and felt anything but reassuring, so he hurriedly urged, "City Lord, this matter is still within the scope of control. The both of you each take a step back!"


    "Humph! This punk is conceited and insolent on account of his ability! Even making light of this old man! Seriously too arrogant! I treat him as an honored guest, and he''s actually so overbearing! Truly a brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Heavenly Evil Sect committed evil deeds everywhere, but your Wu Fang City turned a blind eye to it. That''s helping the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds! I helped you guys eliminate the evil and were in the wrong instead? People who train in alchemy should have benevolent thoughts. This Wu Fang City is hailed as the alchemy holy city. Hehe, isn''t it overshooting the truth?!"


    Cao Zheng was stupefied listening by the side. Their Cao Family did not say a word, but City Lord and this brat started seizing each other by the throat. What was going on here?


    Everyone was rather bewildered too, not knowing why these two people were so hot-tempered.


    Finally, it was still Dan Chenzi who came forward to be a peacemaker, "Gentlemen, calm your anger first. Actually, the 20 problems that Little Brother Ye resolved has immense contributions to my Wu Fang City''s Alchemy Path''s prosperity. It''s just that the sense of propriety was not grasped well. Little Brother Ye, facing a great enemy at the moment, isn''t us having internal strifes aggrieving our own and gladdening the enemy? In my opinion, the Cao Family let that Tranquil Cloud Sect elder go, and consider this matter passed too."


    "Heh, how can it be so easy? The Cao Family must apologize to Grand Elder Skymaple!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "No way! He can be released. But an apology is impossible!" Cao Zheng refused straight away.


    What a joke. How could a colossal family clan like the Cao Family apologize to a third-grade tiny sect''s elder?


    "Hehe, not apologizing works too. I don''t need you to release the person. You all can close shop today, could it be that it will be closed every day in the future? From today onwards, I''ll come here to solve questions every day, all the way until all of the questions on the seventh level are all solved finish!" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    "Shameless boasting! Do you really think that by answering 20 questions, you will be able to answer all of the questions? Questions ranked further to the front, the greater the degree of difficulty! Conundrums that nobody could resolve in several thousand years can be resolved with just the likes of you?" Cao Fang said disdainfully when he heard that.


    "You can very well give it a try!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    This sentence directly aggravate internal injuries in Cao Fang.


    He questioned Ye Yuan previously. The result was that Ye Yuan directly answered all of the final 20 questions.


    Now, Ye Yuan was still brimming with confidence. Was it possible that he really had such capabilities?


    Impossible!


    Question No.1 was simply heaven-defying to the max. Even Lord Chairman and City Lord were at a complete loss when they looked at it, let alone Ye Yuan.


    Dan Chenzi and the rest naturally did not believe that Ye Yuan could answer all of the questions as well. But, being deadlocked here right now wasn''t a solution either!


    "Little Brother Ye, everybody each takes a step back. The Cao Family releases the person, and compensate your household''s elder 100 thousand high-grade essence crystals. This got to be ok, right?" Dan Chenzi said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I only want an apology! Essence crystals, as long as I want, I can have countless!"


    Everyone was directly speechless. This Ye Yuan was simply impervious to neither hard nor soft tactics!


    "That Skymaple answered the question wrongly and even slandered my Cao Family''s reputation. I didn''t kill him directly is already showing leniency! You actually still want us to apologize?" Cao Fang challenged.


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said, "Is that so? Then how about we invite grand elder out to confront in court? If Elder Skymaple answered wrongly, I, Ye Yuan, will return this 400 thousand essence crystals intact, and apologize to your Cao Family! But, if Elder Skymaple''s answer was correct, what then?"


    With this, Cao Fang was thrown into a fluster.


    He never would have imagined that the matter would develop to such a state. Now, it could not be controlled any longer.


    Right then, Zhu Jiang suddenly sighed with melancholy and said, "Sigh, Brother Cao Zheng, this matter is the fault of the three of us. To think that it would stir up such a mighty uproar. This Thousand Query Wall''s consultation team elder, I, Zhu Jiang, have no face to carry on holding the post. Brother Cao better finds somebody more competent."


    With Zhu Jiang saying this, Liu Yun and the other person also requested to resign from Cao Zheng.


    The news that Cao Zheng got was that somebody was causing trouble in Exquisite Jade Pavilion. But he was not clear about the whole story of the incident.


    Hearing Zhu Jiang''s words at this time, how could he still not understand what was going on?


    Only to see him casually fling a hand, landing a slap on Cao Fang''s face as he said coldly, "You wicked son! Turns out that everything was stirred up by you! You actually used the Cao Family''s reputation to do this kind of low-grade thing! I''ll exterminate you!"

 514 Storming out of the Room

    Cao Fang was sent flying out directly. By the time he crawled up, half of his face was swollen like a pig''s head.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene with a cold smile and was very disdainful in his heart.


    That slap looked very impressive. Actually, it did not employ essence energy at all. Cao Zheng merely used the strength of the physical body.


    Hence, Cao Fang''s face looked scary, but it was just receiving some superficial wounds.


    Of course, not only Ye Yuan saw through it, the other big shots naturally could discern it too.


    It was just that at this sort of time, there was obviously no one who would come forward to expose it.


    "Grandfather, I . . ."


    Cao Fang hugged his face and was just about to speak, but he was cut off by Cao Zheng who said, "Why aren''t you quickly releasing the person yet and apologizing to Little Brother Ye? The Heavenly Evil Sect''s matters, even City Lord didn''t say anything. Is there a need for you to care about other people liking salty carrots? Go back and face the wall to reflect. Cause trouble for me again and you better be careful; I''ll waste you!"


    Same as Ren Dong, Cao Fang grew up under Cao Zheng''s protection since young. Cao Zheng had never hit him like this before. This made Cao Fang feel very wronged.


    However, although Cao Zheng''s words were said out very viciously, it actually did not hurt nor itched. It even sowed discord between Ren Xingchun and Ye Yuan''s relationship a little without leaving any traces.


    Ren Xingchun this person as the City Lord, what he relied on was not scheming and plotting, but it was incomparably tyrannical methods.


    Not only was his Alchemy Path strength preeminent, but his attainments in the Martial Path were also exceedingly high. He belonged to a different class of existence among alchemists.


    In Wu Fang City, all those who refused to give in to him, he had always used bloody methods to suppress them.


    Actually, he originally planned on being a mediator coming here today. Little did he think that because of his fiery temper, he would actually clash with Ye Yuan.


    In truth, Ye Yuan being able to answer the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level''s questions was immensely beneficial to them, fellow alchemists.


    But Ye Yuan''s means were too domineering. This kind of directly dropping in to smash the place action would directly affect the Wu Fang City''s position in the alchemists'' hearts.


    Ren Xingchun as the City Lord had no choice but to come forward to stop Ye Yuan.


    But how could Ye Yuan be so easy to get along with? It was fine if he talked nicely. Yet, Ren Xingchun just had to have a commanding tone, directly aggravating Ye Yuan''s opinion of him.


    . . . . . .


    Before long, Skymaple was finally brought out.


    When Ye Yuan saw Skymaple''s slightly miserable looking appearance, he knew that Skymaple most likely suffered considerable hardships in this short while. The fury in his heart involuntarily soared higher.


    When Skymaple saw a bunch of Alchemy Sovereign experts present, he could not help sucking in a deep breath and came to Ye Yuan''s side.


    "Hehe, my Tranquil Cloud Sect came to Wu Fang City for the sake of the Endless World''s safety, but we received such a treatment! Looks like we were hallucinating that the other party is willing! Forget it! Your Cao Family''s apology, I don''t need it either. Grand Elder and I will leave Wu Fang City right away to avoid being an eyesore to everyone! Grand Elder, let''s go!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan pulled Skymaple and was just about to leave.


    When Ren Xingchun saw this scene, he wanted to stop Ye Yuan but was stopped by Dan Chenzi.


    Dan Chenzi shot Wu Xuan a look, signaling him to make a move. Dan Chenzi then said to Ren Xingchun, "Old Man Ren, you don''t add more to the discord. This boy is clearly somebody who can be persuaded by reason, but he''s not a person to be cowed by force. You continue like this and the Endless Meet in two days most likely can''t commence anymore."


    Hearing these words, Ren Xingchun''s slowly rising fury was ultimately pressed down.


    And in this short while, Ye Yuan already left the Exquisite Jade Pavilion. Wu Xuan followed out closely behind too.


    He darted a look at Dan Chenzi and said vigilantly, "You this old punk, what devious ideas are you planning again? Your Alchemist Association stands aloof above worldly considerations. Even if the Fierce Gale World really attacked over here, they wouldn''t dare to do anything to you either. Don''t say that you''re doing this for the sake of the Endless World too!"


    Dan Chenzi let go of Ren Xingchun and said with a faint smile, "For it is good, not for it is fine as well. Could it be that you aren''t interested in this young man? In my opinion, his knowledge in alchemy likely far surpasses yours and mine!"


    Ren Xingchun gave a cold snort and said, "If now isn''t extraordinary times, this old man would definitely interrogate this stinking brat with torture well! Even if his alchemy knowledge is any greater, he''s merely a Sea Transformation Realm. Could he still overturn the heaven?"


    Dan Chenzi said with a smile, "You this old fellow, always being hot-tempered. You don''t just look at this boy being unbelievably obstinate. If it wasn''t this special period at present, he might not be so high-profile either. This boy is soft and gentle even with his rough ways that he showed us; at the same time, he isn''t easy to get along with."


    Ren Xingchun snorted coldly, but then he turned to Cao Zheng and said, "What a splendid thing your Cao Family did! I don''t care about you guys smashing your signboards. But if it threatens Wu Fang City, don''t blame this old man for turning hostile on you!"


    Cao Zheng''s expression was slightly kind of ugly as he nodded and said, "City Lord rest assured. This incident, the Cao Family will definitely deal with it well!"


    Although the Cao Family''s bedrock was incomparably solid, under Ren Xingchun''s rule, Cao Zheng had to tuck his tail between his legs to behave properly too.


    Infuriating Ren Xingchun, nobody would gain anything good out of it.


    In this Wu Fang City, it had already been very, very long since anyone dared to challenge Ren Xingchun''s authority. Looking from this angle, Ye Yuan could already be considered Wu Fang City''s number one person.


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan! Please wait! Please wait!" Wu Xuan chased after Ye Yuan out as he yelled at the top of his voice.


    Ye Yuan halted his footsteps when he heard that and gave Wu Xuan and bow and said, "Today, many thanks to Master Wu Xuan for helping me out of my predicament. This kid bears it in my heart. Next time, if there''s the opportunity, this kid will definitely repay generously."


    Today, if not for Wu Xuan being present, how the outcome would be was really hard to say.


    Wu Xuan laughed and said, "Huhu, you''re too serious with your words. If not for coming to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion today, I''ll most likely regret it for the rest of my life! Seeing you refined pills yesterday, I even gave rise to the thought of taking a disciple. Only seeing your means today did I know that I was rash. In front of you, how can I bear the word master?"


    Only when he saw Ye Yuan''s performance today, did Wu Xuan know why Ye Yuan was completely uninterested in him yesterday.


    What he knew, Ye Yuan knew all. What he did not know, Ye Yuan knew too.


    What would he use to teach Ye Yuan?


    Recalling it now, yesterday was really making a really big joke.


    "Master Wu Xuan is an Alchemy Sovereign experts. Master this word is naturally deserving," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Actually, in front of Ye Yuan, who could be deserving of this word? It was just that Wu Xuan helped Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan would naturally show appreciation.


    Wu Xuan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Haha, if you don''t mind, just call me elder brother. Master this word is absolutely undeserving!"


    Ye Yuan was not pretentious either and nodded with a smile as he said, "Since that''s the case, Ye Yuan will accept deferentially than to decline courteously. Elder Brother Wu Xuan, Grand Elder and I will return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect right away. If you have time, you can come and visit often."


    Wu Xuan hurriedly said, "Younger Brother Ye, City Lord just has this temper. You don''t try to gain face back with him! Speaking of which, he made Xu Zihui fuss around you these few days. It''s also considered to be very considerate already. Moreover, if it wasn''t for Xu Zihui coming to find me today, I couldn''t have arrived in time either, don''t you agree?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. He was actually just putting on a show to take that old man down a notch. He obviously would not really leave.


    "Fine then. This is on account of Elder Brother''s face here!" Ye Yuan hesitated for a bit and said.

 515 Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew

    "Haha! That''s how it should be! Come, come to my place to have a chat. Elder Brother there has the highest grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. Today, us brothers shall not return without getting drunk!"


    Wu Xuan put his arm around Ye Yuan and pulled him hard, like really becoming good friends despite a great difference in age.


    Ye Yuan had no choice and could only say goodbye to Skymaple and leave with Wu Xuan.


    As an Alchemy Sovereign expert, Wu Xuan''s residence was naturally very luxurious.


    Wu Xuan brought Ye Yuan to a small courtyard, took out two jade small wine bottles, and showed them off. He said, "This Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is of the highest grade among wine. In this city, only Fu Yunjing that old man knows how to brew it. I pestered him endlessly before getting six bottles from him. Today, if not to entertain this Younger Brother, Elder Brother, I, wouldn''t bear to drink!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Brother entertaining like this, wouldn''t it put Ye Yuan to shame?"


    "Hey, what''s there to be ashamed around? To be able to make friends with Younger Brother, I''m more than happy! Come, come, come! Quickly taste it!"


    As he said, Wu Xuan was just about to pour the wine for Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was stupefied and said, "Uh, drinking it like this?"


    This time, it was Wu Xuan''s turn to be in a daze. He asked, "Not drinking like this? How else can it be drunk?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Old Brother secured this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, but you don''t know it''s drinking method. Isn''t it a waste?"


    Wu Xuan said in surprise, "Eh? Hearing the meaning of Younger Brother''s words, you''ve drunk this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew before? According to what I know, in this Endless World, it seems like only Fu Yunjing that old man knows how to brew this wine! Hang on, you talk about how this wine should be drunk first."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew has a total of five grades: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, top-grade, as well as the highest level heaven-grade. According to the difference in level, the wine ware will not be entirely the same too."


    Ye Yuan brought the tiny wine bottle to his nose and sniffed before continuing, "This bottle of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew should be a low-grade. It should be matched with wine cups made from Southern Sandalwood to be able to bring out the taste."


    "Oh? Why is this so?" Wu Xuan had a curious look as if he had discovered a new continent.


    As far as he knew, Fu Yunjing that old punk indeed still had even better Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, but had never been willing to take it out to show others, let alone say asking for it.


    After Wu Xuan drank a low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew once at Fu Yunjing''s place, he could not forget that taste anymore. Hence, he ran over daily to beg Fu Yunjing for a few bottles.


    At first, Fu Yunjing still did not agree. Later, through Wu Xuan''s hard and soft tactics and his incessant pestering, he finally could not take it and Wu Xuan six bottles.


    Yet, he had never heard before that drinking this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew actually had so many details to pay attention to.


    "The fragrance that southern sandalwood gives off when mingled together with this wine will make the flavor even stronger when it enters your mouth. Furthermore, low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew still has some impurities. Cups constructed out of Southern Sandalwood can slightly cleanse these impurities, making the taste of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew even more fragrant," Ye Yuan explained.


    "There''s actually such attention to detail? Cups made from Southern Sandalwood, I actually have them here. It''s just that I thought all along that jade material wine cups are more suited for the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, and that wood material cups will spoil the taste of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. Hence, I''ve never used it to drink. Today, hearing Younger Brother say this, I really have to give it a try."


    Wu Xuan ran into the room. Soon enough, he really brought out two wooden cups.


    Pouring the wine in, Wu Xuan moved the cup in front of his face and sniffed. His eyes involuntarily lit up, "It''s really more fragrant compared to before!"


    Following that, he sipped a mouthful of wine. A look as if he was walking on clouds immediately appeared on his face, like he was really comfortable to the max.


    Wu Xuan did not speak. He just took a sip one after another in this manner and drank this cup of wine entirely in just a short while.


    Ye Yuan smiled. Likewise, he picked up his cup but downed it all at once.


    This low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Liquid, Ye Yuan simply could not be bothered to savor the wine.


    In his previous life, what Ye Yuan drank were all heaven-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Liquid. The taste was on a completely different level from this low-grade one.


    He placed the cup on the table, and gave Ye Yuan a big thumbs up as he praised, "Using southern sandalwood cups to hold the wine, the taste and flavor improved at least 10% from before! Younger Brother, you''re truly impressive!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Elder Brother don''t make fun of me. Little Brother, I, merely just happened to know it, that''s all."


    But Wu Xuan said with a laugh, "As far as I know it, in this Endless Forest, only Fu Yunjing alone knows how to brew this wine. He also accidentally obtained this secret recipe in a cave somewhere when he was wandering the Endless Forest in his early years. That secret formula also stated that the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is divided into five grades. It''s just that the secret recipe only had the brewing method for the low-grade on it. The middle-grade''s brewing method was incomplete. I see that Younger Brother seems to be very familiar with this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. Could it be that . . . you''ve drunk this wine before in the past?"


    Ye Yuan knew that Wu Xuan was trying to understand his background by beating around the bush, so he said with a smile, "Not only have I drank it before, I even know how to brew it. If Elder Brother is interested, I can pass this low-grade brewing method to Elder Brother."


    Wu Xuan nearly jumped up when he heard that and said excitedly, "Is Younger Brother for real?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Look at what you''re saying. Would I scam Elder Brother?"


    "That''s great! Haha! Fu Yunjing that old fellow is always showing off his Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew in front of me. Wait until I brew this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. See if he still dares to show off in front of me!"


    Wu Xuan was like a kid in a fit of pique right now, wishing to run in front of Fu Yunjing to posture a round right away.


    Seems like Wu Xuan had most likely been nursing grievances in front of that Fu Yunjing for a very long time!


    Thinking about it, that was right. This low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was naturally not considered much in Ye Yuan''s eyes. But in the Endless World, it was a top-grade fine wine.


    Fu Yunjing possessing such a secret recipe and showing it off a bit in front of his companions was also human nature.


    Furthermore, it seemed like that Fu Yunjing and Wu Xuan were both people who loved alcohol greatly. Otherwise, Wu Xuan could not possibly have southern sandalwood wine cups here.


    "This low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew''s brewing method seems to have some flaws. The taste doesn''t seem to be very orthodox. Elder Brother, when you use my method to brew this wine, I presume that the taste should be able to be improved tremendously," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    . . . . . .


    While Ye Yuan and Wu Xuan, the two of them were drinking wine and having a good talk, Cao Fang currently had his nose pointed at by Cao Zheng, and the former was being scolded severely.


    "You fool! You knew perfectly well that that boy is the honored guest that the Three Sects and Ren Xingchun invited, and you actually dared to use this kind of method to provoke him! Are you going to squander away all the reputation that my Cao Family has garnered for thousands of years? If the Thousand Query Wall collapses, my Cao Family will no longer have the opportunity to rise up again! Do you understand?! How many times have I told you, don''t hang out with those riffraff friends! Place your sights on Ren Dong! If you''re unable to surpass him, my Cao Family will continue to be suppressed by the Ren Family!"


    Cao Zheng had a face like he had expected better from him. Clearly, he was greatly exasperated by Cao Fang.


    The swelling on Cao Fang''s face had long subsided. But that five fingerprint mark still remained on his face.


    Being reproached badly by Cao Zheng at this time, how could he dare to talk back?


    Cao Zheng scolded for a long time before saying fiercely, "Tomorrow, you bring along gifts and personally go to Feng Ya Pavilion to apologize to Ye Yuan! You must get his forgiveness! Otherwise, if he throws a tantrum and doesn''t take part in the Endless Meet the day after tomorrow, you''ll be smacked to death by Qin Hongtao the three of them!"

 516 Not Allowed to Vie for Masters with Me

    At the City Lord Manor.


    A bout of wild laughter came from inside Ren Dong''s pill refining room.


    "Hahaha! I finally succeeded! I finally succeeded!"


    Ren Dong looked at a transcendent-grade Tier 1 medicinal pill in his hand in a frenzied state.


    "Turns out that Lesser Phaseless Art can really refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills! Looks like I, this high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King, am utterly unworthy of the title! Even the Lesser Phaseless Art can refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills. It can be seen that along the way, I''ve missed out too many things! Ye Yuan, you this master, I''m acknowledging you for sure!" Ren Dong sucked in a deep breath and muttered under his breath.


    Bang!


    Ren Dong opened the pill refining room''s door and ran out like a gust of wind.


    "Little Dong, where are you doing?" A kind sounding voice was heard, stopping Ren Dong.


    "Aunt, I''m going out to do something important. I''ll come and pay respects to Aunt after I return! I''m going first!" Ren Dong''s footsteps did not even stop and directly dashed out far away.


    "This child!" The woman gave a melancholic sigh.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would surely be happy. This woman was exactly the mother that he yearned for day and night, Ren Hongling!


    "Sigh. I also don''t know how Yuan-er is like as of late. He''s no longer who he was now. He should be living very well, right?" Ren Hongling murmured to herself.


    Ren Hongling was grounded by Ren Xingchun and was only permitted to move about within the tall walls.


    There were only two people on her mind. One was the Ye Hang who was imprisoned by Ren Xingchun. The other was naturally her son, Ye Yuan.


    In her home, the person Ren Hongling liked the most was Ren Dong this nephew. Because every time she saw Ren Dong, it was as if seeing Ye Yuan.


    She came to find Ren Dong today because she wanted to make him go and beg her father, Ren Xingchun, again, to let him spare Ye Hang.


    Who knew that Ren Dong was in a rush and directly ran off.


    Ren Hongling was helpless and could only go back.


    . . . . . .


    Cao Fang followed the servants into Feng Ya Pavilion one step at a time. When he had just entered the backyard, he heard a hearty laughter.


    "Hahaha! With this recipe, the expression on Fu Yunjing that old punk''s face will definitely be very interesting to look at! He keeps the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew recipe like a treasure, showing off in front of me every day. This time, I''ll see how he still show off!" Wu Xuan said with a big laugh.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say that he had the recipe, Wu Xuan directly drank and finished the six bottles of low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew with Ye Yuan yesterday.


    He came to find Ye Yuan today to get the recipe.


    "Elder Brother, this low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew isn''t considered much. It only needs half a month to finish fermenting. But it won''t do for brewing the middle-grade one. For the middle-grade quality, it needs half a year. Anyhow, you gather the ingredients according to the recipes that I gave you. After half a year, forget about that Fu Yunjing, even Lord Chairman will probably come to request from you as well," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Upon hearing this middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, Wu Xuan''s saliva almost drooled down.


    According to what Ye Yuan said, the taste of the middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew surpassed the low-grade one by ten times!


    The low-grade was already so delicious. What will the taste of that middle-grade be like?


    Thinking about it made people long for it endlessly!


    "Young Master Ye Yuan, the Cao Family''s Third Young Master is here."


    "En. Let him come in then. Call Grand Elder Skymaple over too," Ye Yuan casually instructed.


    Cao Fang came before Ye Yuan with a nasty look. He never could have thought that Ye Yuan would actually address Master Wu Xuan with such great familiarity.


    Wu Fang City was an Alchemy Sovereign expert. His status in Wu Fang City carried weight.


    He himself always observed a pupil''s manners in front of Wu Xuan, but Ye Yuan could already address him like brothers.


    "Ye . . . Ye Yuan, yesterday . . . yesterday''s matters, it was my wrong! Please . . . Please forgive me!" Cao Fang contorted his face and stammered as he said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said indifferently, "You didn''t do anything to me. Whether I forgive or not doesn''t matter. As long as Grand Elder Skymaple can forgive you, I have nothing to say."


    Every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. Ye Yuan was not a petty person. He only wanted to get justice on Skymaple''s behalf.


    If Skymaple really suffered some serious injuries, Ye Yuan naturally would not let Cao Fang off easily. But Skymaple only suffered some hardships yesterday and did not receive any substantial wounds. Since Cao Fang paid a visit to apologize, this matter was also considered to have passed.


    Of course, it was also Ye Yuan reaching there in a timely manner. Or else, if he were too late, what would have happened was really hard to say.


    While talking, Skymaple just happened to be called out too.


    "The main guy is here. Whether he forgives you or not will depend on your sincerity," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Skymaple immediately understood what was going on. He could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    A colossal giant like the Cao Family would actually apologize to a little Alchemy King like him! This had to be said to be immense face for Skymaple.


    Cao Fang gritted his teeth and lowered his head as he bowed towards Skymaple. He said, "Cao Fang was impulsive yesterday and offended Elder Skymaple. Elder, please don''t blame."


    As he said, Cao Fang held a storage ring in his palm and said, "Inside this storage ring are 100 thousand high-grade essence crystals and also some healing medicinal pills. Cao Fang hopes to compensate for the mistake made yesterday."


    Skymaple looked at Ye Yuan. He saw Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Skymaple then said, "Forget it, forget it; this matter is over."


    Cao Fang was overjoyed when he heard that and could not help turning his head to look at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan took over the storage ring from Cao Fang''s hands and said, "Third Young Master Cao, don''t blame me for shooting my mouth. People like Mao Yuanji, you''d best hang out with them less. Otherwise, there will come a day where you''ll suffer a huge loss."


    Cao Fang nodded repeatedly and was just about to withdraw, but he saw Ren Dong dash inside like a gust of wind.


    "Master! I did it, Master!" Ren Dong''s person had yet to arrive, and his voice reached already.


    While talking, Ren Dong already came before Ye Yuan and said with an excited look, "Master, I did it! I did it! Now, you can take me in as a disciple, right?"


    Cao Fang could not help jumping in fright when he heard Ren Dong''s words, "What? You . . . You want to acknowledge him as your master?"


    When Ren Dong heard that, he was stunned too, "Mm? Cao Fang, why are you here too?"


    "I . . ."


    Cao Fang had yet to speak when Ren Dong''s expression changed as he said, "You aren''t trying to acknowledge Ye Yuan as your master too, right? You''re not allowed to vie for Master with me! Humph, I''m telling you, even if Master agrees to take you in, I''m also your senior!"


    Cao Fang was thrown in confusion by Ren Dong. Even his brain was somewhat short-circuited.


    Ren Dong''s strength was even greater than his, and he even had a peak Alchemy Sovereign grandfather. He actually wanted to acknowledge Ye Yuan as master?


    Ye Yuan scolded with a smile when he heard that, "What nonsense is this? Cao Fang came to find me for other matters. You said that you can do it but seeing is believing. However, this Feng Ya Pavilion doesn''t seem to have pill refining rooms. Elder Brother Wu Xuan, is it fine to borrow your pill refining room to use?"


    Wu Xuan was also secretly alarmed by the side. A few days ago, Ren Dong was still at loggerheads with Ye Yuan. Now, he actually wanted to acknowledge him as his master.


    Wu Xuan''s thinking was around the same as Cao Fang''s. Although Ye Yuan''s talent seemed to be very monstrous, Ren Dong had a peak Alchemy Sovereign grandfather behind him. Could it be that he still needed to acknowledge other people as his master?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s request, Wu Xuan nodded and said, "No problem."


    Wu Xuan was also very curious how Ye Yuan was going to test Ren Dong.

 517 Establishing Rules

    Inside Wu Xuan''s pill refining room, it was already packed with people currently.


    When Xiao Ruyan heard that Ye Yuan was going to test Ren Dong, she was full of reluctance but insisted on following over no matter what.


    Meanwhile, Cao Fang was also very curious, following over at the behest of supernatural power, causing him unable to resist.


    Ye Yuan naturally noticed it but did not say anything either.


    When Wu Xuan saw the materials Ren Dong picked, he could not help being stupefied. He said, "Younger Brother Ye, why did he choose all Tier 1 medicinal herbs? Isn''t the threshold of your acceptance test too low?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Brother, you watch first. You''ll know in a while. This Ren Dong still has some comprehension abilities. To think that he could achieve it so quickly. Looking at how both of his eyes are bloodshot, presumably, he didn''t even shut his eyes these few days."


    How could the acceptance test that Ye Yuan set up be achieved so easily?


    Even for the lowest level Lesser Phaseless Art, wanting to reach the standards of refining transcendent-grade Tier 1 medicinal pills, those with slightly better talent also needed around half a month''s time of bitter training. Those with poorer natural endowments might not even find the knack to refining at all.


    Just as Ye Yuan predicted, Ren Dong did not rest for a single second these few days. From morning to night, he was immersed in the pill refining room, for the sake of completing the acceptance test as soon as possible.


    Furthermore, for this Lesser Phaseless Art to reach the level of refining transcendent-grade medicinal pills, it was not achievable with just bitter training as well.


    If there were not Ye Yuan''s demonstration, Ren Dong could not possibly find the trick to it so quickly either. He had been recalling the scenario of Ye Yuan refining pills bare-handedly these few days, contrasting it continuously. That was why he could understand the secret so quickly.


    It was just because the Lesser Phaseless Art was too simple and practically did not have much skill content; that was why Ren Dong could reach such standard in a few days.


    But for Ren Dong to be able to reach this level, it also showed that his talent surpassed others.


    In Ye Yuan''s perspective, Ren Dong''s alchemy talent should be even higher than Xiao Ruyan''s.


    Everyone all looked at Ren Dong very curiously, wanting to see just what of thing this acceptance test was.


    Although Ren Dong was very tired, he was currently in a state of extreme stimulation.


    Ye Yuan opened a window for him, letting him see a great path linking to the heaven. To alchemists, there was nothing more exciting than this.


    All the preparations were in place. Ren Dong said to Ye Yuan with an excited face, "Master, watch closely!"


    When Ren Dong made his move, everybody could not help staring wide-eyed.


    "Lesser Phaseless Art? Younger Brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd here?" Wu Xuan was completely baffled.


    Using the Lesser Phaseless Art as the acceptance test. How low was this threshold?!


    Even Alchemy Grandmasters when taking disciples could not possibly use this as the evaluation too.


    "Huhu, Elder Brother carry on watching. This boy is quite interesting," Ye Yuan said as he behaved like a senior.


    It was naturally quite interesting. Ren Dong only used three days and actually touched upon the threshold of the Legendary Realm. Looks like his conditions were really decent.


    The Legendary Realm was only normal to Ye Yuan.


    But to others, it was not something that simple.


    Furthermore, it was simply not possible for there to be people who would devote time and energy into the Lesser Phaseless Art to reach the Legendary Realm.


    Any refining technique would have very impressive effects after reaching the Legendary Realm. The Lesser Phaseless Art was no exception either.


    Of course, that effect was only aimed at Tier 1 medicinal pills.


    Cao Fang looked at Ren Dong with a face full of contempt.


    This fellow''s brain isn''t spoiled, right? That Ye Yuan is clearly fooling him. He actually took it seriously! A Quasi-Alchemy King acknowledging another Quasi-Alchemy King as his master. Hehe, really comedic enough! Cao Fang was criticizing Ren Dong incessantly in his heart.


    Cao Fang did not doubt Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards. Because his performance in front of the Thousand Query Wall already indicated everything.


    At least, Ye Yuan''s theoretical standards were pretty high.


    Making disciple acceptance test Tier 1 medicinal pills and Tier 1 alchemy techniques, what was this if not being a joke?


    Refinement of Tier 1 medicinal pills did not take too much time. Ren Dong finished refining very quickly.


    "Condense!"


    Ren Dong gave a light cry. The medicinal pill was done.


    "Hehe, master, you come and evaluate it?" Ren Dong came in front of Ye Yuan and said fawningly.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Not too bad. But the Lesser Phaseless Art is just an entry-level alchemy skill. There are still many areas that you need to learn. Next, your task is to use the Greater Phaseless Art to refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill."


    "Ah? G-Greater Phaseless Art?" Ren Dong still did not come around for a moment.


    But Xiao Ruyan could not carry on watching by the side silently. She reproached Ren Dong daintily, "You dunce-head! Still not hurrying over to acknowledge Master?!"


    Ren Dong came to a realization. His face revealed wild elation as he kneeled on the ground with a thud. He exclaimed, "Master is high above. Please accept a bow from Disciple!"


    "Get up. In the future, Ruyan is your senior apprentice sister. I don''t have many rules under me. But there are several points that you have to remember," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Master, please say!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mustn''t defy orders and be unfilial! Mustn''t commit crimes in violation of the law! Other things, free rein. If I discover that you all did something that goes against the heaven and reason, I''ll personally cripple you guys! Ruyan, same for you too!"


    "Yes, Master! Disciple will definitely bear it in mind!" Ren Dong hurriedly said.


    "Disciple understands!" Xiao Ruyan also did not dare to have a cheeky smile when she saw how solemn Ye Yuan said it.


    Being around Ye Yuan for a long time, Xiao Ruyan more or less also grasped Ye Yuan''s disposition a little clearer.


    Majority of the time, it was fine no matter how she joked around. But once Ye Yuan became serious, then it was not that fun anymore.


    However, Xiao Ruyan did not have much evil thoughts in her heart. Such rules were actually dispensable to her. She did not take it to heart too much either.


    "Younger Brother Ye, you were saying earlier . . . using the Lesser Phaseless Art to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills?" It was only after seeing that they finished acknowledging master-disciple relationship did Wu Xuan ask Ye Yuan in amazement.


    "That''s right. This was the entry test that I gave Ren Dong," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "Hiss . . . Let me take a look."


    Wu Xuan opened the medicinal cauldron and took out that medicinal pill. It was indeed transcendent-grade without a sham.


    "Using Lesser Phaseless Art can actually refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills! Except . . . what use does this have?" Wu Xuan asked puzzledly.


    Transcendent-grade Tier 1 medicinal pills could be refined using high tier alchemy skills too. There wasn''t anything impressive.


    Although using Lesser Phaseless Art to refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills exceeded Wu Xuan''s expectations, in his view here, it was pointless.


    With so much time to research a Tier 1 alchemy skill, why not spent the time on higher tier alchemy skills?


    Cao Fang was also very disdainful inwardly. It was just that he did not dare to make a sound. Hearing Wu Xuan question at this time, he perked his ears up too, wanting to hear how Ye Yuan was going to explain.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "One will never achieve their goals without doing things one step at a time. This lineage of mine, what it attaches the highest importance to isn''t garish alchemy skills, but it is laying a solid foundation! Don''t look down on Tier 1, Tier 2 alchemy skills. Even high tier alchemy skills were born from these low tier alchemy skills too. Researching low tier alchemy skills thoroughly, then cultivating high tier alchemy skills, will have the effect of half the effort and twice the results."


    Wu Xuan shook his head and said, "It just that this way, it will expend huge effort. The loss outweighs the gain!"


    Ye Yuan did not answer Wu Xuan''s words, but he asked Ren Dong, "Do you feel that the loss outweighs the gain?"


    Ren Dong shook his head very affirmatively and said, "Absolutely not!"

 518 Meeting Begins

    Ren Dong was not sucking up.


    When he trained the Lesser Phaseless Art close to the Legendary Realm, he actually discovered that he had many new comprehensions.


    Back then, when he had just come into contact with alchemy, he had many things that he did not notice.


    All the way until today where it suddenly dawned upon him. he discovered just how unstable his own foundation was.


    Ye Yuan being able to freely refine transcendent-grade medicinal pills was indeed not coincidental.


    Recalling the words that Ye Yuan said when he was acknowledging him as his master, Ren Dong only came to realize the truth now.


    Ren Dong believed that as long as he continued walking down the path which Ye Yuan designated, he would definitely discover a new continent.


    Of course, to most people, doing this was a pointless effort. Because they did not have a master like Ye Yuan.


    Without Ye Yuan''s personal demonstration, Ren Dong could not possibly have touched upon the threshold of the Legendary Realm too.


    The Lesser Phaseless Art was just the most basic entry-level refining technique. The higher the tier of the refining technique, the more challenging it naturally was to want to reach this step as well.


    Without the guidance of a great teacher who had a profound understanding, they might never find where the Legendary Realm was throughout their lives.


    Cao Fang curled his mouth. He was clearly very condescending towards Ren Dong''s excuse.


    Wu Xuan knew that it was not that there weren''t people who wanted to train the basic alchemy skills to an extremely high realm. But without any exception, they all took too many detours.


    Those alchemists who were originally around the same realm as them had flung those people who researched alchemy skills that way several streets behind.


    Wu Xuan initially wanted to persuade Ye Yuan a little. But upon recalling Ye Yuan''s performance, he swallowed the words at this throat back down.


    Ye Yuan this Alchemy Emperor naturally had more authority to speak regarding laying down a foundation or speed-walking this sort of issue.


    He knew that Wu Xuan and the rest all did not believe. But the moment when Ren Dong soared to the skies in a single leap, they would surely have a completely new appraisal of this matter.


    With Ren Dong''s talent, this day might not need too long.


    . . . . . .


    The following two days, Ren Dong practically immersed in studying beside Ye Yuan, while Ye Yuan did not hide anything either. He demonstrated the Greater Phaseless Art''s Legendary Realm once for Ren Dong to see.


    Ren Dong''s talent was indeed remarkable. He actually comprehended some knack to it very quickly.


    But, very clearly, the speed of him comprehending the Greater Phaseless Art was no longer as quick as the Lesser Phaseless Art.


    And right at this time, all the titans in the Northern Domain finally gathered at Wu Fang City. The Endless Meet officially convened in the City Lord Manor.


    In the main hall, all seats were occupied, and those people who were seated, the weakest had middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm strength.


    Four seats were arranged on the left-hand most side. Sitting there were respectively Ren Xingchun and the Three Sects'' old ancestors.


    They were evidently the Northern Domain''s pinnacle existences!


    And sitting to their right were not those late-stage Divine Traversing Realm experts but an unknown Sea Transformation Realm youth.


    This youth was naturally Ye Yuan.


    The big shots present, quite a few people brought the juniors that they were most proud of over. It was just that those juniors all stood behind them with their hands by the sides.


    Very clearly, in such an apex meeting they did not have a chance to speak.


    Even Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua were all by the side too.


    Only Ye Yuan this young person sat very conspicuous.


    Many people had not met nor heard of Ye Yuan before either. Him sitting naturally incurred many interested gazes.


    Regarding this kind of focused looks, Ye Yuan was very calm.


    The previous life''s Ji Qingyun had experienced countless great spectacles. Such a small occasion was simply too substandard to show in public.


    Everyone got in their seats. Ning Yixian was the first to speak. "Everyone, time is tight. This Ning won''t blabber any more nonsense either. Today, we convened everybody to discuss the major issue of how to respond to the Fierce Gale World''s invasion. Several thousand years ago, the Endless World had the Grand Yan True Sect this extraordinarily powerful sect to seal the realm passageway. But now, not that this Ning is belittling our capabilities, but we might not be the Grand Yan True Sect''s match even by combining our Three Sects'' power! Hence . . . our situation has already reached an extremely grim state! And the most terrifying thing is that we know absolutely nothing about the Fierce Gale World! Their strength, their plans, their habits, we don''t understand anything at all! Now, everybody state their views."


    "Heh, what else can be done? When soldiers come, use a general to hold them off. When the water rises, use dirt to keep it back. I don''t believe that their Fierce Gale World martial artists can still have three heads and six arms?" exclaimed someone immediately the moment Ning Yixian''s voice faded.


    And those with such views were not in the minority. Once these words came out, there were people concurring straight away.


    "I''ve seen before some Fierce Gale World records in some ancient records. It''s said that that small world has gale winds blowing all year round. It''s completely a place where not even grass would grow. This kind of barbaric land, how many experts could there even be?"


    "That''s right. Our Endless World is abundant in resources. The martial artists'' strength and realm are also extremely formidable. To really compete in martial strength, it''s impossible for us to lose to them!"


    "Haha! Just a bunch of motley crew! In my view, our Northern Domain''s various sects should join hands and send a group of elite forces and directly take down the Southern Domain! Don''t they have a Boundless Realm expert? As long as we take down the Southern Domain and send array masters to secure the realm passageway and not let them reinforce the array formation, the Endless World will be safe and sound!"


    Speaking to the back, the Fierce Gale World martial artists directly became a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. It was seemingly like slashing a blade over and everyone''s heads would hit the ground.


    When Ye Yuan heard these words, he seriously could not hold back and let out a snigger.


    With this snigger, there were immediately people who were unhappy.


    "Where are you from, boy? To actually dare jeer at us?" said a middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm sect master with an unkind look.


    He also knew that such an occasion absolutely would not arrange the seats wrongly. This Sea Transformation Realm boy surely had an extraordinary background.


    But being derided by a junior like this, he was still rather displeased. It was just that he was more reserved when speaking and did not dare to overly offend those four on top.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a laugh, "Earlier, Old Ancestor Ning already said, we''re absolutely ignorant about the Fierce Gale World. Also don''t know where your confidence came from, to dare belittle them like so? If there weren''t an Endless Forest obstructing there, we''d probably have lost half of the world already! You guys are actually still in the mood to brag here. Truly don''t know what you''re talking about!"


    That sect master being mocked by Ye Yuan could not quite preserve his face. If it weren''t because of the faces of the four people on top, he would most likely fly off the handle long ago.


    But at this time, he said solemnly, "This war has yet to be fought, and you''re boosting other people''s morale and lowering your own? According to what you say, could those Fierce Gale World people really have three heads and six arms?"


    "Not to the extent of three heads and six arms. However, to talk about combat strength, they mustn''t be underestimated! If it''s as you all said earlier, the Endless World won''t be far from annihilation either," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Heh, talking as if you''ve seen it with your own eyes! Doesn''t that Fierce Gale World have just one Boundless Realm expert? As long as we don''t let him come over, how strong can they get?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You nailed it. Not only have I seen before Fierce Gale World martial artists, but I''ve also even been to the Fierce Gale World!"


    "Not even preparing a draft when you brag! With just your meager strength, you can still return unscathed after really going to the Fierce Gale World?" said that sect master with a cold smile.


    Those four on top did not seem to hear anything and let Ye Yuan and the rest bicker at their own discretion.

 519 Lan Fengs Strength!

    Everybody seemed to have discovered the four titans'' unparticipative attitudes. They all could not refrain from criticizing Ye Yuan one after another.


    "Don''t know what you''re talking about! The two worlds'' only passageway is guarded by the Fierce Gale World. With just the likes of your strength, you can escape from the Fierce Gale World?"


    "Young man, don''t come out to posture just because you have some strength. Some bragging shouldn''t be done. It''s easy to unravel the truth!"


    "Turns out that you''ve been to the Fierce Gale World. I wonder if you brought back some local specialties from the Fierce Gale World? Hahaha!"


    The group of people chortled loudly, mocking Ye Yuan bragging too substandardly in succession.


    When they saw Ye Yuan sitting in that position, they originally felt displeased already. At this time, they happened to catch one of Ye Yuan''s slip-ups and was naturally unwilling to let it go.


    Right then, the Profound Sun Sect''s Sect Master, Wu Rong, opposite Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This Little Brother, one mustn''t joke around in this occasion today. You said that you''ve been to the Fierce Gale World. You got to prove it a little, right? Mere lip service, I can also say that I''ve been to the Fierce Gale World. Would you believe me?"


    The Profound Sun Sect was a great sect second only to the Three Sects. Wu Rong''s strength was extremely daunting as well.


    If Ye Yuan were not here today, it should be Wu Rong sitting in his position.


    The one who previously found fault with Ye Yuan was actually the Profound Sun Sect''s subsidiary faction.


    The Northern Domain''s sects stood in great numbers. There tend to be subsidiaries between factions.


    To want to cast off the fate of being a subsidiary, there had to at least be a late-stage Divine Traversing Realm expert holding down the fort in the sect.


    And this Wu Rong was a Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm experts. Compared to the Great Circle Divine Traversing Realm old ancestors from the Three Sects, he was also just marginally weaker.


    But this difference of a margin was as far apart as heaven and earth.


    In a small world like the Endless World, after cultivating to the Divine Traversing Realm, every step trod out was tremendously arduous. From the Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm to the Great Circle of Divine Traversing Realm did not seem to have a big gap, but this step was immensely hard to stride out.


    This was the restrictions of heaven and earth regulations. Mortals had no way of transcending.


    And from the Great Circle of Divine Traversing Realm to shattering the void and achieving Boundless, this step was even as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    Hence, while the Endless World''s Divine Traversing Realm experts were many, those who could genuinely ascend to the Divine Traversing Realm was scanty few.


    Even for the level of experts like the Three Sects'' old ancestors, wanting to stride out this step was extremely difficult too.


    Wu Rong not daring to say much to the Three Sects'' old ancestors and Ren Xingchun did not mean that he did not dare to make things difficult for Ye Yuan.


    Just a junior. Could it be that the Three Sects really dared to make a move on him?


    Let alone, this junior simply had no idea what he was saying.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You guys laugh at me for saying nonsense, but I laugh at you for being innocent and clueless! If they didn''t have confidence, how could the Fierce Gale World dare to take such actions? You people want proof, right? I''ll show you!"


    Lan Feng''s figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan. Everyone''s faces changed when they saw the situation.


    "Spatial spirit artifact!"


    Even Wu Rong, when seeing this action of Ye Yuan''s, his gaze revealed a burning heat.


    However, his fervent heat subsided very quickly.


    Since Ye Yuan dared to take this out in a flagrant manner, he was obviously not afraid of them snatching it away.


    There was even the possibility that this spatial spirit artifact was given by one of those four beside him.


    "This person is the slave I took in when I was in the Fierce Gale World. Everyone is a Divine Traversing Realm expert. You just have to slightly inspect his divine soul, and you''ll know," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    These people investigated Lan Feng''s divine soul and discovered that it was indeed slightly different from Endless World martial artists. They could not help becoming astonished.


    Although these people knew that the Fierce Gale World already occupied the Southern Domain, they had yet to see Fierce Gale World martial artists before.


    Seeing Lan Feng at this time, they all could not help sizing him up curiously.


    "Is this a Fierce Gale World martial artist? Looks very normal what!"


    "Yeah. What can a puny little Fourth Level Sea Transformation show?"


    "Huhu, look at his manner of dressing up. Simply bumpkin to the max. If Fierce Gale World martial artists are all like this, then wouldn''t our Endless World win for sure?"


    Another wave of loud laughter.


    But Ye Yuan did not smile. He just said nonchalantly, "Everybody is a leader of a sect and naturally look down upon a puny little Fierce Gale World Sea Transformation. However . . . I released Lan Feng out to let you all witness the strength of a Fierce Gale World martial artist!"


    Ye Yuan briefly swept a glance over these Divine Traversing Realm experts and asked, "I wonder which senior''s progeny just happens to be at the Fourth Level Sea Transformation Realm? You can come up to exchange moves with Lan Feng!


    Ye Yuan''s momentum was pressuring. The intent of provocation was very clear.


    Fourth Level Sea Transformation versus Fourth Level Sea Transformation. Nobody could find fault.


    Wu Rong saw the situation and gave a look to a middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm subordinate influence.


    That person understood and opened his mouth to say, "Fei-er, you go up to accompany him to play then. Remember, go easy."


    A young man behind him fell out of the ranks and said with a haughty look, "Yes, Martial Ancestor."


    Finishing talking, the young man came before Lan Feng with a bound.


    This youth''s name was called Song Fei, similarly a Fourth Level Sea Transformation. His strength was also at the top of the list within his sect.


    To be able to be brought by Old Ancestor by his side this time, his position could be imagined.


    Lan Feng still had that attire from the Fierce Gale World; vastly different from the Endless World.


    Furthermore, just as those people said: simply a bumpkin to the max. One look and it was like from an unorthodox background. How could he be comparable to a sect''s elite disciple like Song Fei.


    "Hehe, I want to take a look if the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists are really as formidable as he says!" Song Fei said with a cold laugh.


    Lan Feng had a blank look and completely did not take Song Fei''s provocation to heart. He said indifferently, "Just try, and you''ll know!"


    Finished talking, Lan Feng''s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.


    Song Fei''s expression changed. He did not think that Lan Feng''s speed was actually so swift. He wanted to make a move, but it was already too late. He could only hastily put up a passive defense.


    Boom!


    Song Fei was smashed flying out several hundred feet by Lan Feng''s one punch.


    No long-winded words nor any complacency either.


    Lan Feng was unforgiving when he gained the momentum, his fists pummeling towards Song Fei like a torrential storm.


    The match between Sea Transformation Realm was totally not worth mentioning in the eyes of these big shots. But at this very moment, their brows involuntarily knitted together tightly.


    Although Lan Feng had the suspicion of surprise attacking, those skills were not fake.


    His speed was abnormal, and his fist art was exceedingly swift and fierce and bizarre! Absolutely proficient in combat!


    The two people exchanged over a hundred moves in a twinkle. The more these big shots watched, the more alarmed they became, including those four people above.


    This was also Ning Yixian''s and the others'' first time seeing Lan Feng. They didn''t think that a slave which Ye Yuan brought under control actually had such combat power.


    These people''s horizons were usually high. Through these two person''s face-off, they could tell that Lan Feng''s concept comprehension was a little worse off compared to Song Fei. But, his combat experience was exceptionally abundant. Moreover, regarding the utilization of concepts, the concepts were integrated into his bones.


    After a hundred moves, Lan Feng relied on that initial-most advantage and steadily took the upper-hand.


    Lan Feng''s combat experience was exceedingly plentiful and totally did not give Song Fei any chance at all. Compared to Lan Feng, Song Fei was like a fledgling who was still lacking some level of attainment towards combat.


    Boom!


    Another hundred over moves passed. Lan Feng finally caught one of Song Fei''s dead spots and blasted Song Fei flying with one punch.

 520 Fame Spread Far and Wide

    All those present were dead silent.


    Lan Feng''s performance utterly shocked these Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    That match earlier, apart from that surprise attack in the beginning, there was not the slightest bit of resorting to trickery.


    And Song Fei himself not being focused was a great taboo in combat by itself. Nobody would pity failures.


    Song Fei was an elite from a very formidable sect in the Northern Domain. He actually lost to this bumpkin to the max Fierce Gale World martial artist. Could it be that the strength of the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists were all so formidable?


    These big shots all had tightly locked eyebrows. The expression on their faces had unspeakable graveness.


    "Huhu, can''t even beat my slave, just who is boasting? Are you people sure that you can beat back those Divine Traversing Realms from the Fierce Gale World with just the likes of you people?"Ye Yuan derided.


    This time, that group of people who taunted the most enthusiastically at first all sensibly shut their mouths.


    They were still clamoring previously, saying that the Fierce Gale World martial artists would crumble in one blow.


    And now, this slap was flung really resoundingly!


    But Wu Rong was unresigned and said in a solemn voice, "Was this slave of yours tampered with, or perhaps he''s an extremely powerful existence among the Fierce Gale World martial artists?"


    Wu Rong''s question was also the question that everybody was concerned with. A martial artist being powerful was not scary. What was frightening was everyone being this powerful!


    If the Fierce Gale World martial artists were all this formidable, then the Endless World was really in danger.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Although this slave of mine has some strength, within the same realm, he''s absolutely not considered powerful. At the very most, he''s also just average standard. If you don''t believe, you can feel free to carry on with those plans earlier and directly charge over to exterminate the Southern Domain''s Fierce Gale World martial artists."


    Ye Yuan''s words were like a series of thunders, extinguishing everybody''s hopes.


    Ye Yuan was not exaggerating just to scare people. Lan Feng''s strength did not count as too impressive in the Fierce Gale World.


    The Lan Family Brothers not being able to withstand a single hit in front of Ye Yuan did not mean that they could also be finished off in one blow in front of the other Endless World martial artists.


    Back then, in the mystic realm, Mei Zhen and the Heavenly Sky Sect''s Wu Zhao were both not the Lan Brothers'' match.


    And Mei Zhen''s and Wu Zhao''s strength were absolutely not the slightest bit inferior compared to this Song Fei.


    Hence, Song Fei losing was also something within reason.


    "Ye Yuan, your meaning is that . . . the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' strength as a whole is a level higher compared to our Endless World?" Ning Yixian asked gravely.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "What everyone said earlier wasn''t wrong. The Fierce Gale World is scarce in resources. Regions with powerful gale winds, even the Wind Emperor won''t dare to enter. But it''s also precisely because of this kind of environment that resulted to the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' might . . ."


    Ye Yuan spoke with fervor and assurance, picking out some of the Fierce Gale World information to say, leaving their brows locked even tighter.


    In accordance with what Ye Yuan said, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' comprehension towards the Concept of Wind was innate. Practically every martial artist would have very deep comprehension in the Concept of Wind.


    Hence, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' movement speed was much greater than the Endless World''s.


    Furthermore, with the tempering of the gale winds, the martial artists'' essence energy were purer. Adding in the barbarousness, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' collective strength was much stronger compared to the Endless World.


    Under such circumstances, if the Endless World chose to clash head-on, it was simply without any chances of success.


    Ning Yixian the four of them exchanged glances, and all saw the seriousness in the other party''s eyes.


    They had a simple exchange with Ye Yuan yesterday and knew that the Fierce Gale World power was great. But it was also just a rough idea, far from as great as the impact from Lan Feng and Song Fei''s match earlier.


    It was precisely because they knew that the Fierce Gale World was formidable that the four of them deliberately let Ye Yuan stir up these sects'' leaders a little to make them not underestimate the enemy.


    Who knew that even they themselves were astonished too.


    For Song Fei to be able to become a sect''s elite, his strength was not considered weak. But he still lost to Lan Feng.


    Lan Feng grasped the battle situation precisely, making everyone feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.


    This martial artist was simply born for fighting. If the Fierce Gale World''s folks were all like this . . .


    The matters at the back, they somewhat did not dare to carry on thinking.


    "The Fierce Gale World martial artists'' strength, I believe that everybody already has a very direct understanding. Ye Yuan did not deceive everyone. He really entered deep into the Fierce Gale World before in order to rescue his fellow sect members. Now, to talk about who understands the Fierce Gale World best in the entire Endless World, it''s none other than him! Moreover, I know that many of you view the Southern Domain as a barbaric land and are completely indifferent to the state of affairs there. But, I want to tell you that Ye Yuan once led the Southern Domain''s Tranquil Cloud Sect and defeated the Purple Mansion Sect thrice, killing three of the Purple Mansion Sect''s Soul Sea Realms! This effectively slow down their invasion! Only because of this that we managed to have our Northern Domain''s meet! Or else . . . some of those present would probably have their sects eradicated already!" Ning Yixian''s voice enlightened the benighted, striking everyone''s hearts.


    Only now, did these sect leaders knew that there were still so many twists and turns in between all this, and also knew what kind of person Ye Yuan was.


    The Southern Domain''s matters, they might be unconcerned, but the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s great name, many among them already came to hear of it.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect eradicating the Heavenly Evil Sect domineeringly and a Sea Transformation Realm boy killing the Soul Sea Realm Mao Yuanji, this news already spread like wildfire.


    Those present were all the Northern Domain''s respected figures who were very well-informed. They naturally knew this information.


    It was just that they never thought that that Tranquil Cloud Sect''s youth was actually this one before their eyes!


    It never occurred to them that Ye Yuan already did many things for the Endless World without them knowing.


    Defeating the Purple Mansion Sect thrice. How did this boy accomplish it?


    Truly an enigmatic existence!


    But Wu Rong frowned and said, "Isn''t this talk a little too alarming to cause a sensation? Even if the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' strength is formidable, we have our advantages too. Us these sects aren''t soft persimmons that they can knead as they want either!"


    In truth, Wu Rong''s words were lacking some confidence. But a Sea Transformation Realm boy riding on top of his head still made him brood over it.


    But this time, Jing Xuan said coldly, "Alarming to cause a sensation? Old Man Wu, do you believe these words that you said? As far as I know, the Fierce Gale World already sent out five peak Divine Traversing Realm experts into the Southern Domain! Whether it''s exaggerating things to raise the alarm or not, everybody weighs it yourselves!"


    "What? Five peak Divine Traversing Realms?! How is that possible?"


    Jing Xuan''s words immediately caused a stir in the crowd. Wu Rong looked at Jing Xuan with a face full of disbelief.


    Five peak Divine Traversing Realms. Such strength was too scary!


    One had to know that the Northern Domain only had the Three Sects'' old ancestors who were peak Divine Traversing Realms.


    Was the current situation three versus five?


    Ning Yixian gave Wu Rong a scornful look and said coolly, "Not possible? Do you think that these few days, the three of us were sitting at home doing nothing? Furthermore, the Southern Domain did not blockade information. Wanting to investigate this news isn''t hard. It''s just a pity that Old Hai has already been missing for a long time and there''s no news up until now. While Old Man Duan is a recluse with no fixed abode and also secretive about his whereabouts. If the two of them are present, our chances of success will be much higher."

 521 Old Hai

    Hearing Ning Yixian''s emotional sigh, everyone''s mind quivered.


    The Old Hai and Old Man Duan from his words were peak Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    With them around, the Endless World''s confidence would be much greater.


    Although bottom-level martial artists could unleash tremendous effects in a great war between two worlds, the high-level combat strength was the deciding factor which determined the direction of the war.


    If the Fierce Gale World did not have Zhao Tianyin, the Endless World would not be so fearful of the Fierce Gale World either.


    Zhao Tianyin alone could sweep across the entire Endless World.


    Such combat power simply made people despair.


    This was Ye Yuan''s first time hearing that the Endless World still had two of such experts who existed. He could not help becoming very curious.


    If the Endless World really had five peak Divine Traversing Realm experts, it more or less could be considered to have some self-preserving strength.


    Talking about this, Ye Yuan suddenly recalled a matter.


    In a small world, every world had a Realmlord who existed. Zhao Tianyin was naturally the Fierce Gale World''s Realmlord.


    Ye Yuan had stayed in the Endless World for such a long time but did not know who this Endless World''s Realmlord was.


    Was it possible that he was one of these two?


    "These years, most of Old Hai''s time was spent in the Endless Forest. Also, I don''t know what is he busy with. Now that such a major incident happened, he can''t possibly watch indifferently without lending a hand, right?" Jing Xuan said.


    "Yeah, Old Hai has always stayed away from scenes of contention. But the incident this time concerns the entire Endless World''s safety. If he deserts us on the eve of battle, that will chill the heart too bitterly," Ning Yixian said.


    Right at this time, an aged voice sounded out faintly, reverberating throughout the main hall.


    "You punks. Talking behind people''s backs all day long! No wonder this old man, I, am always sneezing! Achoo!" As he said this, that old man really gave a sneeze.


    Upon hearing this voice, everyone guessed who came.


    Who could it be but this Old Hai?


    It was truly speaking of the devil!


    An old man wearing tattered hemp clothing walked into the main hall like this slowly, looking very much like an ordinary old man.


    When the four people on the seats of honor saw this old man, they exchanged glances, and all became extremely excited.


    This old man''s appearance gave everybody''s mind a shock.


    "Haha! Old Hai, it''s really you!" saidQin Hongtao once he saw Old Hai. He laughed loudly.


    "Old Hai, you finally came back in the nick of time. Otherwise, the few of us really can''t quite support the situation!" Ning Yixian said.


    Jing Xuan and Ren Xingchun did not speak. But these four people''s behavior actually faintly treated Old Hai as superior!


    And these people did not notice that at this moment, Ye Yuan was still in a state of immense shock and did not recover for a very long time.


    When Old Hai entered, his gaze darted at Ye Yuan imperceptibly and even gave him a faint smile.


    At that time, Ye Yuan was dumbfounded. Because he had seen this old man before!


    This old man was none other than precisely the stall vendor old man, Qi Hai, that Ye Yuan encountered in Breaking Dawn City!


    At this point, Ye Yuan could virtually confirm that Qi Hai was definitely the Endless World''s Realmlord!


    Ye Yuan''s sense was very sharp. He could faintly sense that the power emitting from this Qi Hai''s body was even stronger than the power from Ning Yixian trio.


    Only the ruler of a world could reach such an extent by gathering the destiny of a world.


    Very likely, this old man Qi Hai already had half a foot into the Boundless Realm and was only a final goal shot away.


    Ning Yixian trio actually faintly regarded themselves as juniors.


    Looks like this Qi Hai''s seniority wasn''t an ordinary kind of big!


    "Come, men! Add a seat for Old Hai in the center of the left-hand side!" Ren Xingchun instructed.


    Qi Hai waved his hand and said, "No need to be so troublesome. I, this old man, am not that particular after many things. That . . . I''ll just seat here. Young chap, we meet again. You''re fine if we squeeze a little, right?"


    When these words came out, everyone''s faces changed.


    Old Hai actually knew Ye Yuan!


    These Divine Traversing Realm experts present, each one of them wanted to cozy up to Old Hai. But his elderly self''s whereabouts were elusive. So they completely could not cozy up to him!


    Just how many days had Ye Yuan been in the Northern Domain? He actually knew Old Hai!


    Furthermore, Old Hai actually lowered himself to squeeze together with Ye Yuan. It could be seen that his impression of Ye Yuan was pretty decent.


    Just what was going on here?


    Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, "Old Hai''s instructions, how can Ye Yuan dare to refuse? It''s just that Old Hai really concealed too deeply! Back then, when Old Hai saw us in peril, you actually did not even extend a hand to rescue!"


    Qi Hai sat down beside Ye Yuan carelessly and said smilingly, "Back then, when I sold the Dodder Green Grass to you, I already saw your extraordinariness. In this Endless World, I''ve yet to encounter anybody who recognized the Dodder Green Grass. Later, when I saw you exterminate the Jin Family father and son ruthlessly, I regarded you even more highly. That Soul Sea Realm, I was originally planning on finishing him off conveniently when leaving. But I didn''t expect that you actually forced him out. I was watching the fight all along back then. If any accidents were to really happen, I''d naturally lend a help. Except, I never expected you could actually already execute condensing gathered essence into form at such a young age. It was truly an eye-opener for me!"


    When Ye Yuan heard these words, he exclaimed in surprise instead, "So you knew that that was Dodder Green Grass long ago?"


    Qi Hai burst into laughter and said, "Haha! Of course I knew! Otherwise, do you really take me for a black-hearted merchant? One stalk of Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herb selling for one hundred middle-grade essence crystals?"


    "The Dodder Green Grass is extremely rare. You could actually bear to sell it to me?" Ye Yuan asked doubtfully.


    "Huhu, quasi-tier 4 medicinal herbs, no matter how rare, doesn''t have much use to me either. Rather, you clearly needed it more. I''m very curious though, what were you planning on using the Dodder Green Grass for?" Qi Hai asked with a smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled too and replied, "Buying medicinal herb is naturally in order to refine pills. Can''t be like that Jin Peng, swallowing it down, right?"


    Finished talking, the two people exchanged a look, and both chortled with laughter.


    On the left-hand side, Ning Yixian cursed inwardly, "These two people, one old fox, one young fox. Both people who are not to be trifled with! Old Hai wanted to feel Ye Yuan out, but Ye Yuan lightly skated over it. This boy is really astute!"


    However, these two people revealed a great amount of information!


    Turns out that when the Tranquil Cloud Sect was moving north, such a major thing actually happened before.


    And Old Hai personally witnessed Ye Yuan battling a Soul Sea Realm. Towards such a monstrous youth, he naturally kept him in mind.


    "Didn''t think that Old Hai had long taken action already, touring one round to the Southern Domain and back!" Ning Yixian said with an emotional sigh.


    Qi Hai scolded with a smile, "You little punks, wagging your tongues all day behind people''s backs! Such a major thing happened to the Endless World, how can I, this old man, only care about myself without care for others? This trip to the Southern Domain, not only did I inquire some information, I even dragged Old Man Duan here as well. That old punk, at first, he was still unwilling to leave retirement. After being pummeled by me, he finally yielded."


    Qi Hai said it carelessly, but everyone was secretly alarmed when they heard it.


    Old Man Duan was a peak Divine Traversing Realm experts. Old Hai actually beat him up as he liked to.

 522 Seeking Counsel

    "Old Man Duan, you''re not coming out yet? Could it be that you still want me to invite you out?" Qi Hai called out in a clear voice.


    A very lean old man appeared before everyone. He was naturally the Old Man Duan that everyone was talking about.


    Qi Hai smiled and said to Ye Yuan, "Don''t look at how Old Man Duan is very unassuming. His strength is pretty decent and should be even above the three of them. It''s just that his natural disposition is lazy and was unwilling to stick a hand in secular affairs. Hence, he found a secluded place in the Southern Domain and lived there quietly."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. For an itinerant cultivator to cultivate to such a realm, it was truly not easy.


    This Old Man Duan seemed to be not too willing either. He just sat down beside Qi Hai and did not speak from start to end.


    Qi Hai did not seem to mind and said to everyone, "Alright. Everybody continue to discuss as you all should. Don''t bother about us old people."


    With him saying this, everyone did not know how to discuss though.


    But Wu Rong was unresigned and asked Qi Hai, "Old Hai, you made a trip to the Southern Domain. Did they really send out five peak Divine Traversing Realm experts?"


    Qi Hai nodded and said, "That''s right. Before returning this time, I took a tour around the Heavenly Sky Sect before and almost came to blows with one of the five."


    "Then . . . And then what?"


    With this, nobody suspected the authenticity of this information anymore.


    "Hehe, later on, each of us was wary of the other, so this fight did not take place."


    Qi Hai said it very apathetically, but the others had a different feeling when they heard it.


    Hearing Qi Hai said so, Ning Yixian could not sit still either and asked, "The other side''s peak Divine Traversing Realms actually had somebody who could threaten Old Hai?"


    Qi Hai''s strength, everyone present was very clear. Hence, the way these people saw it, Qi Hai was their greatest reliance.


    But now, a random peak Divine Traversing Realm that the other side sent out was actually on par with Old Hai. Could it be that the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists were really all formidable to such an extent?


    "Not so far as threatening me. But that person''s strength shouldn''t be much weaker than mine. Once the fight began, if we alarmed the others, it would probably not be that easy for me to want to get away," Qi Hai said.


    The sect leaders present all exchanged glances. Immediately, they felt like the pressure was akin to Mt. Tai crushing down.


    Looks like the Fierce Gale World''s might greatly exceeded everyone''s imaginations!


    Qi Hai looked at everyone and said coolly, "You bunch of brats aren''t still holding onto thoughts of leaving it to chance right now, are you? If the Fierce Gale World wasn''t powerful to such an extent, how could such a powerful sect like the Grand Yan True Sect back then pay such a terrible price to seal the realm passageway? Just that battle, how were the sacrifices just the Grand Yan True Sect alone? After that battle, our Endless World''s vitality was greatly sapped, resulting in this current declining trend situation."


    Hearing Qi Hai''s words, everyone''s gaze involuntarily turned towards Ye Yuan.


    Looks like what this youth said previously was not the slightest bit false!


    Ning Yixian trio did not think that the situation was already severe to such an extent already either and said, "Old Hai, you enjoy high prestige and command universal respect. This situation still needs you to manage!"


    Very clearly, there was nobody more suitable than Qi Hai to lead the group of heroes among the people present.


    Who knew that Qi Hai smiled and shook his head as he said, "I, this old man, am used to being lazy. How can I be the leader? Ning Yixian, you''re experienced and prudent and can take on this responsibility. However, this old man, I, will say the nasty things first. I normally don''t bother too much, but if anyone dares to trip people up at this sort of time, this old man, I, will be the first to exterminate him!"


    Qi Hai''s words did not seethe with killing intent, looking like having a heart-to-heart talk. But everyone felt a chill arise when they heard it.


    Then Ning Yixian said with difficulty, "Old Hai, I . . ."


    Qin Hongtao interrupted him and said, "Don''t decline at this sort of time. This burden, you have to shoulder it. Nobody is more suited than you. This old man, I, still have other things to do. Qin Hongtao and Jing Xuan, the both of you have to support Ning Yixian with all your strength. At this time, don''t have any ideas about sects. If the Endless World is gone, your Dao teachings will naturally be gone too."


    The three people''s faces turned intent and acknowledged it in a solemn voice.


    Qi Hai nodded, but then he looked towards Ye Yuan and said, "Little Brother Ye, I wonder what thoughts you have regarding the present situation?"


    Hearing these words, everyone looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    Ning Yixian was the person that Qi Hai personally recommended to take charge of the overall situation. He did not ask Ning Yixian''s opinion, but he actually sought a junior''s opinion!


    Furthermore, those who were attentive noticed that Qi Hai actually addressed Ye Yuan as ''Little Brother Ye.'' About this, there had to be some stories that they did not know.


    Could it be that Qi Hai already treated Ye Yuan as an equal to interact with?


    Ye Yuan was stunned too and said, "Old Hai, this . . . isn''t appropriate, right?"


    Ye Yuan actually came today just to plan on letting these people know the Fierce Gale World''s might and not to underestimate the enemy.


    As for how to come up with stratagems and give advice, he did not plan on talking out of place.


    So many Divine Traversing Realm experts present, how could it be his turn to interject?


    It was just that he did not expect Qi Hai would actually be the first to ask for his opinion.


    "Nothing inappropriate! They are completely clueless about the Fierce Gale World. Letting them talk is shooting blindly too. You go ahead and talk. I''ll see who dares to say a word!" Qi Hai said coolly.


    In truth, there really were quite a number of people who were rather displeased secretly and planned on finding fault when Ye Yuan was speaking in a while. Now that Qi Hai said that, these people immediately swallowed those words back into their stomach.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. He was not a coy and shy person either. Since Qi Hai thought highly of him, he would not decline either.


    "Alright then. Since Old Hai thinks highly of Ye Yuan, then I''ll say a few more words. Whether you listen or not is all up to everybody," Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan stood up and said without caring about others, "In my opinion, the Fierce Gale World has several advantages which we have no way of competing with. Firstly, they all have a common faith, and that is the Wind Emperor. The Purple Mansion Sect is still loyal and devoted to the Wind Emperor after many generations. A lot can be deduced from this. Because of this point, they can achieve a unified rule. In comparison, we''re a pile of loose sand. Secondly, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' collective combat strength is greater than ours. If engaging in close-quarters, we''ll surely suffer a huge deal. Thirdly, although the Southern Domain''s resources can''t compare to the Northern Domain, it''s much better than the Fierce Gale World''s. With these resources, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' strength as a whole might even advance a level. Fourthly, the Fierce Gale World''s high tier combat strength is way stronger than ours. As far as I know, the Fierce Gale World''s peak Divine Traversing Realm experts are not just five people!"


    "What?! You mean that these five are just the vanguard?" Ning Yixian exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The Fierce Gale World''s peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, according to what I know, have as many as seven people! Counting in some itinerant and some secluded old monsters, I reckon that it might not be below ten people! As for how many among these ten has Old Hai''s level of strength, I can''t confirm."


    Following these people''s understanding of the Fierce Gale World becoming increasingly deeper, they noticed more and more that for the Endless World to want to defeat the Fierce Gale World, the hope was simply too bleak.

 523 Severe Punishments Should Be Dealt in Troubled Times!

    Ye Yuan was not simply shooting his words out. If Lan Feng was not very clear about the Fierce Gale World''s upper echelons, Xiao Ruyan was a true-blue capital nobility.


    The three commanders under Zhao Tianyin''s command were peak Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    Apart from this, a super faction like the Shangguan Family, their leader was peak Divine Traversing Realm too.


    Just within the Central Capital, there were as many as seven peak Divine Traversing Realms.


    To say that these five people were the vanguard was not over the top at all.


    "Heh, aren''t such words a bit much? How can so many experts be born in a place lacking in resources like the Fierce Gale World?" Wu Rong said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan shot him an indifferent look and said, "The Fierce Gale World is indeed poor in resources, but it doesn''t mean that there aren''t resources. Comparatively speaking, to the Endless World''s resources decentralization, the Fierce Gale World''s resources are basically all gathered in the Central Capital. Plus, the Fierce Gale World resides in gale winds constantly. The martial artists can be said to be cultivating at all times. Their cultivation speed is naturally faster than our Endless World''s martial artists. What''s strange about giving birth to so many experts? Also, whether I say it or not is up to me. Whether to listen or not is up to you. If you don''t want to listen, you can close off your ears! The truth and false of what I said, Old Hai and Senior Ning they all will naturally screen through. When is it your turn to cut in?"


    This Wu Rong repeatedly caused trouble. Ye Yuan was disinclined to haggle over it with him. This fellow even went from bad to worse.


    These words were said without any consideration for face, directly turning Wu Rong''s face red.


    Ning Yixian frowned as well and said, "Old Man Wu, you''re an overlord of a region too. Why are you always making things difficult for Ye Yuan? Ignoring that Ye Yuan is the only one among us who understands the Fierce Gale World''s situation, just based on the contributions that he made for the Endless World, what''s the harm in us listening to his opinion?"


    Ning Yixian''s words were not severe. But talking this way to Wu Rong in front of so many big shots, it was actually already considered giving him a slap.


    Wu Rong was crimson red with rage. But due to Qi Hai being present, he could not blow up and just snorted coldly and said, "Heh, can''t even give opinions? Fine, fine, fine! I''ll just shut my mouth!"


    Qi Hai had his head lowered, looking straight down the entire time as if he paid no heed to both party''s dispute.


    At this time, seeing that Wu Rong finished speaking, Qi Hai asked again, "Ye Yuan, you carry on speaking."


    A simple six words already completely stood on Ye Yuan''s side.


    The other sects'' big shots all kept their mouths shut sensibly. At this sort of time, regardless of what was to be said, it was clearly all not a wise move.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Just as I said earlier, the things that we can bring out are seriously too little. Hence, if we want to turn the situation around, we must make drastic reforms! Otherwise, the Endless World being swallowed is just a matter of time."


    "What kind of reforms?" Ning Yixian asked.


    Ye Yuan spoke confidently and with composure, "Actually, the things that we can do now are not much. But there are three things that we can still make it in time!"


    Ning Yixian''s eyes lit up, and she asked rather interestedly, "Oh? Quickly say, what three things?"


    Ye Yuan extended a finger and said, "The first thing is that the concept of being a sect must be stop, unifying all under one management, and concentrating all of the elite forces! Each fighting their own battles will only be broken easily! One must know that the Fierce Gale World martial artists are akin to the mortal world''s army with extremely daunting combat strength."


    Ye Yuan extended a second finger and said, "The second thing is to raise our martial artists'' strength. Our Endless World''s greatest advantage is abundant resources. Furthermore, the standards of alchemy skills are more than a level higher than the Fierce Gale World''s. And these resources are grasped in the hands of the various great sects. Now, these resources have reached the time where it needs to be put to good use. Using them to raise the martial artists'' strength is a pressing issue! In addition, the various great sects still have to select elite disciples to gather together and develop them heavily. These people clearly have greater room for improvement. All in all, this point is to make use of all the resources that can be utilized rationally, to make our Endless World martial artists'' strength improve to the greatest extent."


    Ye Yuan reached out a third finger and continued, "Thirdly, to concentrate all of the Northern Domain''s array masters. Although the present Endless World''s formations path standards are inferior to back at the Grand Yan True Sect''s time, our formations path standards are still much higher compared to the Fierce Gale World. In the war, with the support of array formations, it can unleash the martial artists'' strength to the greatest limit. This point, we have to utilize well!"


    Ye Yuan''s words poured out with ease and fluency. Qi Hai nodded slightly by the side. Clearly, he was very pleased with Ye Yuan''s three views.


    When Ning Yixian listened, his face also revealed an expression of suddenly seeing the light.


    However, the faces of these sects'' big shots were not that nice.


    Ye Yuan''s way of doing things was the same as they all forsaking all of their sect''s Dao teachings. This Northern Domain would only have one colossal sect in the future.


    These guys were all people who act in an arbitrary manner in their own sects. But in the future, they had to become other people''s subsidiaries.


    Such a change was unacceptable to them.


    "Old Hai, we absolutely cannot agree to this way of doing things! Our Sky Illumination Sect''s legacy already has several thousand years of history. Is it going to be wiped out like this?" shouted the Sky Illumination Sect''s old ancestor, immediately jumping out to object.


    "Yeah! Although our sect isn''t big, our legacy to this date is already close to ten thousand years of history. Surely it can''t be gone like this?"


    "Disagree!"


    "I disagree too!"


    For a moment, the objecting voices rose one after another.


    Wu Rong did not speak this time but kept on smiling coldly by the side.


    As the saying went: it was hard for the law to punish the collective. No matter how formidable Old Hai was, it was not possible to kill all of these Divine Traversing Realm experts, right?


    If they were really killed, who would deal with those experts from the Fierce Gale World?


    Among these Divine Traversing Realm experts present, the vast majority were major sects that had several thousand years of legacy, and also a number of new sects which rose up in recent years.


    Regardless of what kind of sect, they all did not hope for their Dao teachings to be lost in oblivion.


    Wu Rong was very delighted in his heart. He gave a few meaningful looks to several people just now. Those few immediately understood and came forward to object to Ye Yuan''s plans.


    Moreover, this kind of approach had indeed touched these people''s baseline. As long as there was somebody coming forward, it would immediately spread like a plague.


    Everybody stepped forward to object. Heh heh, I want to see how this plan of yours will be implemented! Wu Rong thought in his heart delightedly.


    Old Hai who had both eyes slightly closed the entire time suddenly spoke. He said it to Ye Yuan.


    "Little Brother Ye, looks like everybody objects to your plan. What do you think should be done?" Qi Hai asked nonchalantly.


    These words in Wu Rong''s perspective was Qi Hai choosing to compromise, hoping that Ye Yuan could take back the words said earlier.


    Wu Rong was very pleased with himself inwardly. Look at you, this boy, being unbridled! Fighting with this old man, you''re still a little too inexperienced!


    Except that these words had another layer of meaning the way Ye Yuan heard it.


    Only to see Ye Yuan grin widely and said, "Severe punishments should be dealt in troubled times! Since there are people not willing to submit, just kill and be done with it!"


    "Hahaha!" Qi Hai suddenly guffawed with laughter and said, "What a fine ''severe punishments should be dealt in troubled times!''"

 524 Endless Alliance

    A moment ago, it was still cloudless for thousands of miles. The next instant, it was a torrential squall.


    After Qi Hai laughed loudly, the situation suddenly changed inside the main hall.


    A horrifying pressure enveloped everybody, and the center of this pressure was precisely Wu Rong!


    When Ye Yuan sensed this pressure, he unwittingly nodded his head secretly. Qi Hai was indeed well-deserving of being the Endless World''s Realmlord. This strength most likely already had half a foot into the threshold of Boundless Realm.


    He just had to wait for heavenly tribulation to arrive and then Qi Hai would be able to shatter the void and ascend to the Divine Realm.


    Except, this ascension heavenly tribulation was not so easy to cross. A moment of carelessness would be perishing, and one''s Dao dissipating.


    When Wu Rong felt this pressure, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    "Old Hai, what are you trying to do here!"


    Qi Hai did not explain a thing, gently lifting a hand and smacking it towards Wu Rong directly!


    Wu Rong gritted his teeth and said with a savage look, "Old Man Qi Hai, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    As he said this, Wu Rong attempted to retaliate too.


    Yet, it was all futile. In front of a Half-Step Boundless Realm expert, the Ninth Level Divine Traversing Wu Rong could not take a single hit as well.


    Bang!


    Wu Rong''s body collided heavily onto the wall and dropped down feebly. He was already dead.


    Everyone''s expressions became fearful, looking at Qi Hai in disbelief.


    They all knew that Qi Hai was very strong, but never knew that he was actually indomitable to such an extent!


    Qi Hai had not exhibited his strength in front of everyone for many years already. Regarding conjectures about his strength, it was also just hearsay.


    Today, only after seeing Qi Hai striking Wu Rong dead in one palm did they know just how terrifying Qi Hai''s strength was.


    A Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm was already an extremely formidable existence in the Endless World. But he was actually unable to survive a single move from Qi Hai!


    "At this point, you all are actually still harboring hopes of getting lucky, each with your own ulterior motives. Truly don''t know life from death! Little Brother Ye illuminated a path for you guys, but you all insist on disregarding the consequences and persist in carrying on. At this point, Wu Rong still wants to mislead the masses for his personal gains. Deserves to die!"


    The main hall was dead silent. Nobody dared to come out to refute Qi Hai.


    Qi Hai continued, "We''ll establish the Endless Alliance here today. Ning Yixian will assume the post of Alliance Head. Qin Hongtao and Jing Xuan will hold the posts of Vice-Alliance Heads. Me killing Wu Rong doesn''t mean to force you all to join the alliance. If you feel that you can only care about yourselves and disregard other people, feel free to not join. But your sect must withdraw to the extreme northern lands!"


    Qi Hai''s tone suddenly eased up, and he said, "Establishing the Endless Alliance doesn''t mean that you all have to forsake your sects'' legacies. If the Endless World can tide over this calamity, you can still establish your own factions later on to inherit your Dao teachings. If the Endless World is annexed, everything is naturally for naught. But I''ll say the nasty things first; if anyone dares to be half-hearted, Wu Rong is the best example! Alright, this old man will talk only until here. Good luck to everybody."


    Hearing Qi Hai''s words, everyone finally set their minds at ease.


    As long as they could preserve their sect''s legacies, everything could naturally be discussed.


    But these people also knew that after the war, how many sects among them that could still preserve their legacies was something up in the air.


    However, just as Qi Hai said, the Fierce Gale World bore down menacingly. If the Endless World completely fell into the enemy''s hands, their sects would no longer exist as well.


    Furthermore, if they were to shrink back at this time, they would become the common target for scorn. Even if their sect was not destroyed, migrating to the extreme northern lands was a tremendous blow to the sect as well.


    The essence energy in the extreme northern lands was sparse and completely could not support martial artists'' cultivation.


    Going there, what kind of future would the sect still have?


    "Old Hai, my Sacred Fire Sect is willing to join the alliance." At this time, a Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm was the first to come forward to express his stance.


    With someone taking the lead, the others all acceded to it one after another. This matter of establishing the alliance was finally settled.


    "The specific arrangements, Ning Yixian, the three of you are in charge of handling. Set the condition: those who made contributions will be rewarded, and those at fault will be punished. Every order must be executed without fail!" Qi Hai instructed.


    Ning Yixian trio clasped their hands and answered, "Yes!"


    These three people had also not seen Qi Hai take action for a long time. They were shocked to the core seeing it today too.


    Before the three of them became renowned, Qi Hai was already at the peak Divine Traversing Realm. His strength at present had indeed already reached an unfathomable degree.


    Qi Hai nodded his head and carried on, "In addition, it''s considered a coincidence too. The Vast Heaven Pagoda is going to open very soon. This time, your three sects shouldn''t treasure your own belongings too highly. As long as they are martial artists under the skeletal age of 60, including those itinerant cultivators, they can all enter it. Maybe seizing this opportunity, we can unearth some promising talents."


    Ning Yixian trio exchanged glances. Although they were somewhat hesitant, they also knew that now was not the time to be miserly, and they could only nod and agree.


    Seeing Ning Yixian trio nod their heads, those sect leaders were all extremely excited, putting Ye Yuan at a loss.


    Looks like this Vast Heaven Pagoda was some remarkable place that was monopolized by the Three Sects all along.


    Opening to the public this time, the other sects should be able to obtain considerable benefits.


    Ye Yuan could not help admiring Qi Hai inwardly in his heart too. Although this old man was rather unruly, he was experienced and shrewd with age after all. This tactic of a large stick in one hand and a carrot in the other was executed rather magnificently.


    These sect leaders obtaining sufficient benefits would naturally put aside some prejudices and risk their lives to fight the enemy.


    Except, after such a sharing of resources, if the Endless World could tide over this catastrophe, the Northern Domain''s setup would probably undergo a titanic change.


    . . . . . .


    In a side hall, Qi Hai and Ye Yuan sat facing each other.


    "Little Brother Ye, your talent surpasses the Endless World too much. Your background . . . probably isn''t simple, right?" Qi Hai looked at Ye Yuan with scorching eyes and asked.


    The specific matters, Qi Hai handed them to Nine Yixian they all to do. But he pulled Ye Yuan inside a side hall and asked about Ye Yuan''s origins right away.


    Ye Yuan knew that the things a Realmlord of a world understood was far from comparable to others.


    Many things in front of other people would be over just by fooling them a little. But in front of Qi Hai, wanting to casually brush him off probably would not work.


    "Senior Qi Hai . . ."


    "If Little Brother Ye doesn''t mind, just call me elder brother will do. If the Endless World can make it through this disaster, maybe Elder Brother, I, still have areas where I still need to rely on Little Brother Ye for!" Qi Hai cut off Ye Yuan''s words and said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I accept deferentially than to stand on ceremony! Elder Brother Qi Hai should be the Endless World''s Realmlord, right?"


    Qi Hai was not surprised. Instead, he chortled and said, "Haha! Little Brother Ye''s horizons are really high! To actually even know about Realmlords! That''s right. This old man is indeed this Endless World''s Realmlord!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, "Younger Brother''s Master is indeed not somebody from the Endless World. It''s just that due to master''s orders, it''s not convenient for Younger Brother to express some things. Elder Brother, please forgive me."


    Qi Hai did not reveal a surprised look. Ye Yuan''s such heaven-defying talent, it was absolutely impossible for the Endless World to give birth to.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not tell him that he possessed a body that had gone a rebirth either. Although people of the Divine Realm rarely descended to the Lower Realms, it was not unheard either.


    Taking in a disciple in the Lower Realms was actually not something of a big deal.

 525 Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance

    "Heh heh, looks like Little Brother''s fortunes run deep, to actually obtain a Divine Realm major power''s good graces. Truly the envy of Elder Brother, me!"


    Even though Qi Hai was the Endless World''s Realmlord, in the eyes of the Divine Realm''s major powers, he was still just an impoverished person.


    Ye Yuan''s talent was so monstrous. In Qi Hai''s view, his master was bound to be a character in the Divine Realm too.


    Of course, as for how powerful, Qi Hai did not have a clue either.


    Although he knew some matters related to the Divine Realm, his knowledge was very limited.


    "Elder Brother already has half a foot stepped into the Boundless Realm. The day of ascending to the Divine Realm is not far off too. Why is there a need to be envious of me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "This distance of half a step is as hard as ascending to the heaven! If I had the confidence, I''d have long gone to cross the heavenly tribulation. Why would I remain in the Endless World, idling my time away bitterly? I lingered in the Endless Forest these few years just for the sake of finding that feeble thread of hope too!" Qi Hai sighed emotionally.


    To the Lower Realms'' martial artists, the ascension through heavenly tribulation was a life and death juncture.


    What Qi Hai had to face was not just the heavenly tribulation of Boundless Realm, there was also the boundary pressure when shattering the void of the small world.


    Superimposing the two, ordinary martial artists simply could not survive it.


    Unless it was people who were heaven-defyingly talented or those who had immense good luck, the success rate was truly very low.


    Hence, breaking through to the Boundless Realm in a small world like this Endless World was actually even harder than the Divine Realm!


    And a small world''s essence energy and resources were simply a heavenly chasm-like difference compared to the Divine Realm. This increased the difficulty of martial artists ascending even more.


    "Elder Brother doesn''t need to lose heart. Heavenly Dao will always leave a ray of hope. As long as Senior doesn''t give up, you''ll eventually be able to find this ray of hope someday," Ye Yuan consoled him.


    Actually, with Ye Yuan''s capabilities, wanting to aid Qi Hai to pull through the heavenly tribulation was not something hard.


    It was just that the days he spent with Qi Hai was few, and he did not have much understanding of this person at all. He naturally would not say such sincere words to a mere acquaintance.


    Furthermore, if he helped Qi Hai ascend now, the Endless World would basically not have hope anymore.


    Without the need for Zhao Tianyin to come, just the Shangguan Family and those few first-rate families could destroy the Endless World.


    In the future, if he confirmed that Qi Hai was worth trusting, giving him a hand then was not late either.


    "Heh, then I''ll thank Little Brother for your blessings! If Elder Brother, I, can ascend to the Divine Realm by chance in the future, I hope that Little Brother can look after me well!" Qi Hai said with a smile.


    The reason why he was so courteous to Ye Yuan was actually because of this.


    Qi Hai had drifted with the tides in the Endless World for so many years. Although he did not have great confidence regarding crossing the heavenly tribulation, he more or less had some too.


    If he passed the heavenly tribulation by chance in the future, without anyone looking after him when he reached the Divine Realm, it was very hard to keep going.


    This point, Zhao Tianyin knew, Qi Hai naturally knew as well.


    Ye Yuan was curious and asked, "Why does Elder Brother Qi Hai say that? Our Endless World should belong to a certain faction too, right? When Elder Brother, you, ascend to the Divine Realm in the future, there will naturally be that faction coming to receive you, no?"


    There were countless Lower Realms'' small worlds, but they were not ownerless objects.


    These small worlds more or less had countless intricate ties with the Divine Realm.


    For Qi Hai to be able to become the Realmlord, it was not because he was the Endless World''s strongest person, but he was a person designated by some faction in the Divine Realm.


    In his previous life, the Medicine King Hall, this super major faction that Ji Qingyun was at, had jurisdiction over countless planes in the lower realms too.


    It was just that these affairs, Ye Yuan never concerned himself with. It was all Ji Canglan''s responsibility.


    However, even though Ye Yuan had come to the Endless World for some time, he did not know which Divine Realm faction this Endless World belonged to.


    But the Divine Realm''s various major factions all would not bother about the Lower Realms'' affairs. Because descending from the Divine Realm was exceedingly difficult. Even in the Divine Realm, there were very few who could accomplish this as well. Yue Mengli being able to come down was definitely by using Bright Moon City''s strength.


    It was also precisely because of this reason that Qi Hai ascertained that the person behind Ye Yuan was definitely very powerful.


    These factions would mostly have special channels of communication with the lower planes. This point was much easier.


    And the inheritance of a Realmlord was also the small world''s internal affairs under most circumstances. As long as the previous Realmlord chose a successor and report it to the Divine Realm to be approved, it would do.


    But Qi Hai said with a bitter smile, "Actually . . . I don''t know which faction in the Divine Realm the Endless World belongs to either. In reality, since the start from the previous Realmlord, we lost contact with the Divine Realm completely. Roughly around . . . a thousand years already?"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. He did not think that there was actually such a thing.


    Seems like the Divine Realm faction which the Endless World belonged to might have suffered some major unforeseen event.


    "Alright then. Elder Brother''s matters, I''ve noted it down. It''s just that I don''t dare to promise you at this time. After all, after that master of mine imparted to me knowledge, he brushed his hands off and no longer bothered about me again."


    But Ye Yuan''s promise that was not a promise sounded like a heavenly melody to Qi Hai. He said elatedly, "That''s of course, that''s of course! Oh, right, within half a month, the Vast Heaven Pagoda will be opened. At that time, you must go and take part. Perhaps you might have some unexpected gains too?"


    "Oh? The Vast Heaven Pagoda? What''s that?"


    Ye Yuan was still really curious about this Vast Heaven Pagoda. Something that could visibly move so many Divine Traversing Realm experts was bound to not be an ordinary thing.


    "The Vast Heaven Pagoda is an inheritance mystic realm; It is communally owned by the Three Sects and Wu Fang City. This Vast Heaven Pagoda has a total of nine levels. Every level passed, one would obtain unimaginable benefits. It''s a superb place that the Three Sects and Wu Fang City foster their young disciples at. Ever since discovering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, countless powerhouses walked out from there in the Endless World! Back then, the Grand Yan True Sect''s Forefather, Grand Yan True Lord, walked out from there too. You don''t know how terrifying Grand Yan True Lord''s strength was back then. Even though he wasn''t the Realmlord, in front of him, the Realmlord at that time wasn''t even fit to carry his shoes! Hence, these four major factions have been monopolizing the Vast Heaven Pagoda all along, not allowing the other factions to dip their fingers in. The Vast Heaven Pagoda opens up once every ten years. Half a month later just happens to be the ten year date, which so happened as well." Qi Hai''s words poured out smoothly.


    Qi Hai did not know that not only did Ye Yuan know the Grand Yan True Lord, Lu Linfeng, he even had close ties with him.


    But with Qi Hai saying this, Ye Yuan became even more interested in this Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    To be able to give birth to such a supremely powerful character, this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s prowess was clear at a glance.


    "Oh? There''s still such a thing? I wonder how many levels did that Grand Yan True Lord pass through back then?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, a heaven-defying character like the Grand Yan Divine King should have made it to the ninth level back then.


    Except, Qi Hai''s answer was very far from Ye Yuan''s view. Only to hear Qi Hai say, "The seventh level! Since remote antiquity, there were only a mere three individuals who made it to the seventh level! And the Grand Yan True Lord was one of them!"


    This time, Ye Yuan was truly taken aback from shock.


    How heaven-defying Lu Linfeng this fellow was, Ye Yuan was well aware.


    With his strength, he actually just made it to the seventh level too? Then how perverse did the eighth level and ninth level had to be?


    "Doesn''t that mean that this eighth level and ninth level, there was nobody who made it there at all?" Ye Yuan said in astonishment.

 526 Ye Hangs Crisis

    In Ye Yuan''s understanding, Lu Linfeng was already among the Divine Realm''s apex level of a powerhouse.


    If even he merely reached the seventh level too, then the two levels at the back, were there still anyone who could make it through?


    Ye Yuan was not being unduly humble. He knew that his comprehension abilities were actually very high. But as for how high, he did not have a definite answer either. Because he did not walk to the pinnacle of the Martial Path.


    But Ye Yuan himself felt that even if he was stronger than Lu Linfeng, he was probably not much stronger than the latter as well.


    After all, the comprehension abilities of characters who could stand at the peak of the Divine Realm would not be too poor no matter how bad it was.


    Of course, reaching Lu Linfeng''s level of realm, comprehension ability was not absolute. Destiny, comprehension ability, natural endowments, hard-work, not one of them could be lacking!


    But Qi Hai''s answer somewhat exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    Only to see Qi Hai shake his head and said, "That''s not it. This eighth level, there was somebody who made it there before."


    Ye Yuan was greatly shocked when he heard that and asked, "Who?"


    "He''s called Li Fantian. As for who he was, I don''t know," Qi Hai said.


    "Oh? Even you don''t know too? Then how did you know that he made it to the eighth level?" Ye Yuan inquired curiously.


    "The Vast Heaven Pagoda area has a wall. Anyone who makes it to the fifth level will be recorded up there. But during this recent hundred years, no one could make it to the fifth level," Qi Hai said rather regretfully.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. He more or less had some understanding of the Vast Heaven Pagoda already.


    Looks like wanting to clear this Vast Heaven Pagoda was not an easy matter.


    Guo Taoqun, Yin Yanhua, and Qin Yan, Ye Yuan was still aware of their talent. Even they could not make it into the fifth level. Looks like this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s difficulty level was indeed rather high.


    Only a heaven-defying genius like Lu Linfeng could make it to the seventh level.


    "Alright. Half a month later, I''ll head to the Vast Heaven Pagoda," Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said.


    Since there was such a mystical place, Ye Yuan obviously could not miss it.


    . . . . . .


    At the City Lord Manor''s backyard.


    Ren Honglin was currently by the window with her head on her hands, unsure what she was thinking about either.


    "Hongling, are you thinking of your son again?" A voice suddenly sounded out at the entrance.


    Ren Hongling did not turn around. She knew that it was her older brother, Ren Yujie.


    "So what if yes? Are you going to release me to go find him?'' Ren Hongling said rather resentfully.


    Ren Yujie heaved a sigh and said, "Sister, you lost all of your abilities now. Even if I let you out, where can you go? Furthermore, if you leave, what about Brother-in-Law? You''re aware of Father''s temper."


    Ren Hongling turned around slightly, her gaze looking at Ren Yujie rather vacantly; she said coldly, "Father? He''s not worthy of being my father at all! And you are not fit to be my brother either! If not for my husband stubbornly insisting on returning, wanting to seek for his forgiveness, it''s impossible for me to return to this place which makes me feel disgusted for the rest of my life! In all of your hearts, there is no kinship, only benefits!"


    Ren Hongling''s eyes gradually welled up. She did not think that so many years had already passed, her father was actually still so unreasonable!


    When the two of them appeared in front of Ren Xingchun, Ren Xingchun detained Ye Hang without a word and grounded her.


    And he, this big brother, was very timid and incapable. He completely did not dare to say anything in front of Ren Xingchun.


    Ren Hongling begged Ren Yujie multiple times to let him release her to go see Ye Hang. But Ren Yujie refused to no matter what.


    Gradually, Ren Hongling perished the thought too.


    In this backyard, only Ren Dong this junior could stir up a hint of ripple in Ren Hongling''s heart.


    Ren Yujie heaved a sigh again and said, "Hongling, not that Big Brother isn''t willing to help you, but I seriously can''t help you! You''re aware of Father''s temper. If he knew that you met Brother-in-Law, Brother-in-Law''s life would probably be long gone! I''m doing this for your own good too!"


    But Ren Hongling did not appreciate the kindness and said with a cold smile, "I just want to see my husband once and not bringing him away either. If you don''t tell him, how would he know?"


    Ren Yujie shook his head and said, "You''re belittling Father too much. He could reach today''s position, so how could it be that simple? Forget about this City Lord Manor, even a hint of the rustling of leaves in the wind in the entire Wu Fang City can''t possibly escape his eyes either."


    Hearing these words, Ren Hongling''s face calmed down slightly.


    She also knew that her big brother''s personality was weak and hard to take on great responsibility. Counting on him was hopeless.


    If he could have a little backbone back then, she would not have gone so far as to slip away to distant lands with Ye Hang either. She would not have lost her essence energy and be unable to refine pills anymore.


    Of course, Ren Yujie''s personality could not be separated from Ren Xingchun''s dominance.


    "Then you coming to find me today is for my own good too?" Ren Hongling said sarcastically.


    But Ren Yujie''s expression dimmed as he heaved a sigh again and said, "Sister, actually, I came today wanting to tell you that, Father is going to take action against Brother-in-Law already! You . . . Sigh . . ."


    Ren Hongling''s entire person was like struck by lightning, immediately freezing there. This news was truly a bolt out of the blue to her!


    Originally, she and Ye Hang returning was to acknowledge their roots and ancestors. Who would have thought that it would actually end up in such a plight!


    "You . . . What did you say?" Ren Hongling''s entire person felt worn out.


    "These few days, you had been grounded at home all along. There are many things in the outside world that you don''t know. An earth-shaking major incident happened to the Endless World recently. These two days, many Divine Traversing Realm experts assembled in Wu Fang City to discuss on dealing with the great matter of another world invading us. And Father already gave the instructions two days ago that after the meeting this time passes, Brother-in-Law will be put to death."


    Hearing this news, Ren Hongling could not withstand the blow anymore. Her two eyes went dark, and she fainted away.


    Ren Yujie hurriedly supported her and inserted a trace of essence energy into Ren Hongling''s body.


    Ren Hongling slowly regained consciousness. Grabbing hold of Ren Yujie''s arm, she said tearfully, "Big Brother, I''m begging you, save him! Now, the only one who can save Ye Hang is you!"


    Ren Yujie had a conflicted face, "I . . ."


    "Big Brother, back then, I made you plead with Father. You didn''t dare to say a word! Now that over a decade has passed, Ye Hang and my feelings are all the more deeper. Could it be that you''re still going to treat us the same as back then? If my husband dies, I absolutely won''t live alone! If Yuan-er comes to know of this matter, he definitely comes to find Father to seek revenge. Do you want this kind of human relations tragedy to happen in the Ren Family?" Ren Hongling already became tear-stricken with tears.


    Ye Hang and Ren Hongling watched Ye Yuan''s growth and were very clear about his temperament.


    Once Ye Yuan found out about the news of Ye Hang and her perishing, he would definitely come to find Ren Xingchun to take revenge at all costs.


    At that time, grandson versus grandfather, regardless of what the result was, it would be a human world''s tragedy.


    "Yuan-er? That''s your and Brother-in-Law''s child? You guys refused to say any news about that child. Turns out that he''s actually called Ye Yuan? Ye Yuan . . . Why is this name so familiar?" Ren Xingchun suddenly felt like he seemed to have heard this name before somewhere.


    Except that how could Ren Hongling still be in the mood to listen to this right now. She implored, "Big Brother, you make Ren Hongling go and beg Father! He''ll definitely agree! I beg you!"


    Ren Yujie said with difficulty, "But . . . Father already made people bring Brother-in-Law out of the city to execute him in secret!"

 527 Execution

    This time, Ren Hongling forcefully resisted and did not faint.


    Because she knew that Ye Hang''s life was suspended on a thread right now. She must go and save Ye Hang.


    No idea where her strength came from, Ren Hongling pushed aside Ren Yujie and forced her way out of the door.


    "Ah! Isn''t Ye Yuan that Tranquil Cloud Sect youth who took part in the Endless Meet? Could it be that . . . Sister''s son is really him? But . . . how is that possible?"


    Ren Yujie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and finally recalled who Ye Yuan was.


    After yesterday''s meet, the Endless Alliance was established, and Ye Yuan was a very popular figure among the Northern Domain''s upper echelons.


    Could such a monstrous prodigy actually be his own nephew?


    His figure moved and caught up to Ren Hongling very quickly, grabbing hold of her.


    "You let go of me! I''m going to save my husband!" Ren Hongling struggled desperately.


    "Hang on! You said that your son is called Ye Yuan. Is he from a small sect called Tranquil Cloud Sect?" Ren Yujie asked.


    "How did you know?" Ren Hongline froze and stopped struggling too. Her heart started pounding even faster. How did Ren Yujie know?


    Could they have . . .


    Seeing Ren Hongling''s expression, Ren Yujie knew that she misunderstood and hurriedly said, "Set your mind at ease. Not only is Nephew fine, but his reputation is also awe-inspiring now. Even the Three Sects have areas they rely on him for right now. If Nephew is really that youth called Ye Yuan from the Tranquil Cloud Sect, Brother-in-Law might still be saved! It''s just . . . I wonder if we can still make it!"


    Ren Yujie knew that time was of the essence and could only cut his words short.


    Ren Hongling was startled and hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly bring me to go find Yuan-er!"


    Ren Yujie had a look of dilemma again. Ren Xingchun''s accumulated pressure in his heart was too overpowering. He completely did not dare to have any disobedience.


    Coming to inform Ren Hongling today was already a tremendous breakthrough.


    "If you''re not going, I''ll die right now for you to see!"


    Ren Hongling fished out a small dagger from God knows where and was about to stab it toward her heart.


    Except, how could she possibly have the chance to commit suicide in front of a Soul Sea Realm martial artist such as Ren Yujie?


    Ren Yujie snatched away the dagger in Ren Hongling''s hands. His expression flickered, and he said, "Fine! I''ll bring you!"


    Ren Hongling stared at Ren Yujie somewhat disbelievingly as her face revealed wild elation.


    Actually, what moved Ren Yujie ultimately was still that human relations tragedy which Ren Hongling said before.


    Previously Ren Yujie did not pay attention. But after knowing that Ye Yuan was his own nephew, he knew that this was not some laughable joke.


    That Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Ye Yuan absolutely had the strength to overturn Wu Fang City in the future and even butcher his own maternal grandfather!


    And did Ren Xingchun have the capabilities to kill Ye Yuan?


    The answer was uncertain!


    Behind Ye Yuan stood Qi Hai now. Even if Ren Xingchun were any more rampant, he would not dare to behave atrociously in front of Qi Hai either!


    Which was also to say that in the future, after Ye Yuan matures, Wu Fang City would truly suffer the human relations tragedy which Ren Hongling predicted.


    . . . . . .


    "Master, Master Wu Xuan, you two have some tea. This is a top-grade spirit tea that I brought from the City Lord Manor. Not only is it sweet and mellow, but it also has the effect of increasing essence energy," Ren Dong explained to Ye Yuan with a respectful look.


    Wu Xuan was Feng Ya Pavilion''s frequent guest now. He would run here when he had nothing to do.


    These few days, he had been having a nice heart to heart talk with Ye Yuan, rambling away, but receiving substantial benefits.


    They hardly said three sentences without talking about their line of work. What Wu Xuan and Ye Yuan chattered about the most was naturally still alchemy. In fact, some of Ye Yuan''s views and experiences had tremendous inspiration to Wu Xuan.


    Like this, Wu Xuan liked to immerse himself at Feng Ya Pavilion every day even more.


    Wu Xuan said with a smile, "You, this boy, always had your eyes on top of your head. To think that you''d actually submit fully to others one day. City Lord with his temper, if he knew that you stole his spirit tea, I reckon that he''d fly into a thunderous rage."


    Ye Yuan drank a mouth of the spirit tea and said smilingly, "Heh heh, City Lord''s temperament is really arrogant and explosive!"


    When he recalled the conflict with Ren Xingchun in Exquisite Jade Pavilion, he was speechless too.


    Ren Xingchun clearly came to be a mediator. In the end, he quarreled with him. This temper was also unparalleled.


    "Huhu, if City Lord didn''t have such breadth of spirit, how could he overpower the Cao Family and manage this Wu Fang City like an iron bucket?" Wu Xuan said with a smile.


    The three people were just conversing when a servant came in to inform, "Young Master Ye, City Lord Manor''s Lord Ren Yujie brought a woman to request an audience."


    Ren Dong was stunned when he heard that, "En? What did Father come here for? Could it be to find me for something?"


    Ye Yuan came to a realization and nodded his head and said, "Invite them in then!"


    Before long, Ren Yujie led Ren Hongling in. Ye Yuan and Wu Xuan were currently engrossed in conversation and did not seem to have noticed the two people.


    Ye Yuan also thought that Ren Yujie came to find his son and had nothing to do with him. He naturally would not pay attention too.


    And when Ren Hongling saw that familiar face, her entire body trembled agitated and her tears gushed out from her eyes uncontrollably.


    Ren Yuejie was stunned when he saw Ren Dong as well, "Dong-er, why are you here too?"


    Ren Dong was likewise stupefied. "Eh? Father, Aunt, didn''t you guys come to find me?"


    Ren Yujie shook his head and pointed at Ye Yuan and said, "We came to find him."


    "Ah? What are you all finding Master for?" Ren Dong asked in bewilderment.


    "Master?" Ren Yujie was likewise confused.


    When Ye Yuan heard the conversation over here, his head involuntarily turned over.


    With this turn, his entire person was immediately frozen in place, and he revealed a look of wild elation soon after.


    "Mother! Why are you here?! Haha! Truly wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search and finding it by chance without even looking for it! I even made Brother Zihui go and find you and Father. To think that you actually came here yourself!" Ye Yuan came in front of Ren Hongling with a flash and held her hand as he said warmly.


    But Ren Hongling''s expression changed drastically as she grabbed hold of Ye Yuan''s hand and said, "Quick! Quickly go and save your father! Any later and it''ll be too late!"


    . . . . . .


    In a forest outside the city, Ye Hang was escorted by several martial artists to an open space.


    The martial artist leading was shockingly a Ninth Level Soul Sea Realm expert!


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would immediately recognize that the person presiding over Ye Hang''s execution was actually Xu Zihui.


    Xu Zihui received Ren Xingchun''s orders this morning to make him bring several people and escort a criminal outside the city to carry out the death penalty.


    Xu Zihui paid little attention to it too and brought several people over.


    As for what kind of offense this criminal committed, Xu Zihui did not know at all.


    Of course, he was not interested to find out either.


    Just a late-stage Crystal Formation martial artist; this person completely could not enter Xu Zihui''s eyes.


    He was even rather resentful in his heart that City Lord was really using a butcher''s knife to kill a chicken. Carrying out an execution against a late-stage Crystal Formation Realm, he actually even made him, this Ninth Level Soul Sea, to come and hold the line.


    Really took him to have nothing to do after eating his fill?


    How could he have known that this was Ren Xingchun not wishing for a family scandal to get out? That was why Ren Xingchun did not even bring up charges against this person.


    Even Ren Hongling and Ye Hang eloping back then, Ren Xingchun blockaded all of the news too. Xu Zihui only knew that Ren Hongling fell ill and died.


    "Alright, just do it here. Be a bit neater," Xu Zihui said rather annoyedly.

 528 Release

    Ye Hang revealed despair. He did not think that Ren Xingchun was actually impervious to reason to such an extent and actually really hardened his heart to want to kill his own son-in-law.


    The incident back then, he was forced by circumstances too. He and Ren Hongling loved each other, but Ren Xingchun refused to consent no matter what. The reason was just that his background was too lowly.


    Ye Hang''s talent was not poor. It was just that he did not have sufficient resources and powerful cultivation methods.


    Hence, compared to Ren Hongling, Ye Hang was completely not worth mentioning.


    But Ye Hang''s tenacity and sincerity moved Ren Hongling''s maiden heart. From there, she fell hopelessly in love with this penniless little alchemist.


    Ye Hang lifted his head and gave a long sigh as he said, "I, Ye Hang, did things all my life with a clear conscious. To think that I still ended up like this! Forget it, forget it. This life, give it back to that unreasonable Ren Xingchun. Also, count it as settling a grudge."


    As he said, Ye Hang shut his eyes and said, "Do it!"


    Xu Zihui was originally still quite impatient, feeling that this punk was still babbling on and on before dying.


    Suddenly, he felt that Ye Hang this name was rather familiar to the ear. When he thought again, he was suddenly shocked awake.


    Wasn''t Ye Hang the person that Young Master Ye entrusted him to find?


    Wouldn''t be so coincidental, right?


    "Halt!"


    Xu Zihui roared. A finger''s essence energy flicked out, sending that long sword in that executioner martial artist''s hands flying.


    And at this time, that long sword was already less than half a centimeter away from Ye Hang''s chest.


    Ye Hang looked at Xu Zihui rather uncertainly and did not know what this person was trying to do.


    Xu Zihui stared at Ye Hang and asked solemnly, "You''re called Ye Hang?"


    "You don''t know who I am?" Ye Hang was stupefied. Then he immediately understood and said with a self-ridiculing laugh, "That''s true. My existence is a disgrace to the Ren Family. How could he let servants know of my existence? That''s right, I''m called Ye Hang."


    Getting an affirmative answer, Xu Zihui''s heart pounded. He stared fixedly at Ye Hang and asked, "Then . . . who''s Ye Yuan to you?"


    Although Ye Yuan did not say who Ye Hang and Ren Hongling was to him, as long as one had some brain cells, they could guess their relationship.


    When Ye Hang heard Ye Yuan''s name, his entire body involuntarily quivered, "You know Yuan-er?"


    Xu Zihui thought to himself, damn! There is really no story without coincidences!


    He actually nearly killed Ye Yuan''s father!


    Earlier, if that sword were to really go down, he would not have the face to see Ye Yuan again thereafter.


    Xu Zihui''s son already successfully broke through realms after consuming the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan conferred.


    To a martial artist, one minor realm was a small matter. But the time saved from this was hard to be exchanged using money.


    He received Ye Yuan''s grace but killed Ye Yuan''s father. That would truly be a classical reciprocating kindness with ingratitude.


    But . . . Ye Hang was a person that City Lord mentioned by name to kill. How . . . How should this be done?


    Xu Zihui had a conflicted look and fell into a dilemma for a moment.


    Kill? Or not to kill?


    Ye Hang looked at Xu Zihui full of doubts and suspicions.


    The strength of this person before his eyes was too formidable. He did not have the leeway to resist at all. But, hearing his tone, he actually knew Ye Yuan.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was also in Wu Fang City right now?


    Thinking up till here, Ye Hang could not help being agitated.


    But he became downcast again very soon. He was almost dead. Even if Ye Yuan were really in Wu Fang City, how could he go and meet him?


    Ye Hang was all too familiar with Ren Xingchun this person. It was impossible for this expert before his eyes to defy his wishes.


    "You, leave!" Ye Hang was just letting his imagination run wild when Xu Zihui suddenly spoke.


    "Ah?" Ye Hang was dazed and could not quite react.


    "I said, leave!" Xu Zihui said in a solemn voice.


    With him saying this, the few subordinates immediately became anxious.


    "My lord, he''s a person that City Lord named to kill! If you release him, City Lord won''t let you off!"


    "Yeah. City Lord''s temper, are you still unaware?"


    "You mustn''t let him go!"


    Xu Zihui felt irritated and roared, "I said let him go! Are you all deaf? This matter, if City Lord lays down the blame, I''ll bear it alone!"


    Those few subordinates still wanted to urge again. Xu Zihui glared fiercely and said in anger, "Say any more, and I''ll exterminate the few of you!"


    Seeing that Xu Zihui''s expression did not seem to be joking, these few subordinates finally did not speak again.


    But Ye Hang had a blank look as he said, "Senior, you took on such a heavy responsibility in order to let me go. May I ask why?"


    Xu Zihui waved his hand and said, "I received kindness from Young Master Ye and seriously can''t bring myself to take action. You should go!"


    Ye Hang roused himself and said in great joy, "Yuan-er is really in Wu Fang City?"


    Xu Zihui nodded his head and said, "Young Master Ye is indeed in the city! He previously entrusted me to find a husband and wife pair, but I didn''t have any leads all along. To think that you were actually imprisoned in City Lord Manor by City Lord."


    "Yuan-er, is he . . . well?" Ye Hang was somewhat anxious, yet fearful that he would lose it for a time.


    "Huhu, Young Master Ye is a great character at the peak of his height right now in the entire Wu Fang City! Of course he''s well." Xu Zihui briefly recounted the matter of him inviting Ye Yuan to Wu Fang City.


    These two days, the Endless World''s upper echelons were all discussing the matter of establishing the Endless Alliance. Many news had not spread out yet. With Xu Zihui''s status, he still did not know what happened during the meet.


    If he knew that Ye Yuan''s current status could be comparable to those sect leaders, he would probably not be so worried either.


    Ye Hang also felt rather unreal when he heard it. He had already not had Ye Yuan''s news for over a year.


    This one year plus, Ye Yuan actually grew to such an extent?


    But thinking about Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying performance in the State of Qin, perhaps he could really achieve it?


    Musing for a moment, Ye Hang clasped his hands and said to Xu Zihui, "Junior has a presumptuous request. Can Senior please bring me to meet Yuan-er?"


    Xu Zihui looked at Ye Hang and asked, "City Lord''s control over Wu Fang City is extremely tight. You''ll probably fall into his sights once you go there. Do you really want to go back?"


    Ye Hang nodded and said, "My wife and son are both in the city. How can I leave alone?"


    . . . . . .


    Outside Wu Fang City, Ye Yuan pushed his movement technique to the limits. Behind him, Ren Yujie was secretly alarmed. He actually felt rather taxing following Ye Yuan!


    Ren Yujie''s talent was inadequate. Up till now, he was just early-rank Alchemy King strength too. But even so, he was also a true-blue Second Level Soul Sea.


    With his realm, he actually could not keep up with a Second Level Sea Transformation?


    No wonder this nephew of his could stir up the wind and rain in the Endless World''s upper echelons meeting. His strength was actually so formidable!


    Younger sister Ren Hongling lost the ability to become an alchemist. To think that she actually gave birth to such a heaven-defying son.


    Truly, misfortune might be a blessing in disguise!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan stopped.


    "What is it?" Ren Yujie halted his footsteps too and asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan heaved a long sigh and said, "Heaven has eyes. It was actually Xu Zihui in charge of carrying out the sentence. Looks like I''m going to owe Brother Zihui a massive favor."


    As he was talking, a group of people walked out from the jungle . . .

 529 Forsaken by Loved Ones and Followers

    At Feng Ya Pavilion.


    Ye Hang and Ren Hongling hugged tearfully.


    Ye Yuan watched this scene, feeling his heart ache very much too.


    Along the way, Ye Hang already told everything to Ye Yuan, infuriating Ye Yuan greatly.


    He never would have thought that Ren Xingchun was actually his blood-related maternal grandfather!


    Furthermore, this old man was actually so unreasonable and impervious to reason!


    Making a connection to Ren Xingchun''s conduct in the Exquisite Jade Pavilion back then, Ye Yuan felt that this old man was simply incapable of being reasoned with!


    Ye Yuan had occupied this body for a long time and had long taken Ye Hang and Ren Hongling to be his closest loved ones.


    Ren Xingchun that old stick in the mud actually sentenced his own son-in-law to death because of this kind of laughable reason. It was simply preposterous to the max!


    If Ye Yuan did not request Xu Zihui previously, if the one carrying out the sentence this time was not Xu Zihui, Ye Yuan would really have to part forever with his father.


    With Ren Hongling and Ye Hang''s love, she absolutely would not live on alone.


    He already lost an Alchemy Emperor father. He did not wish to lose a lower realms father again!


    With the scare after the incident, Ye Yuan''s hatred of Ren Xingchun already reached the verge of erupting.


    "Father, Mother, Yuan-er is incapable and made you two suffer!" Ye Yuan reproached himself.


    Ye Yuan also sighed deeply in his heart. His current strength was still too weak!


    If he had sufficient strength, Ye Hang and Ren Xingchun absolutely wouldn''t have left by themselves, and also would not have feared that Ren Xingchun would harm him and not dare to even reveal his name.


    Ren Hongling already recollected her emotions at this time and said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "Silly child. We can have today, your father and I are already with joy. Returning to Wu Fang City is your father and my decision. How can it be blamed on you?"


    Ye Hang pulled a long face and said, "You rascally boy, don''t take everything upon yourself!"


    As he said, Ye Hang gave a sigh and said, "To really talk about incapable, Father is the most useless! Back then, I couldn''t protect your mother and you well, and almost caused you mother and son pair to lose your lives. Father-in-law he couldn''t accept his daughter becoming a cripple. I can understand that too."


    These years, Ye Hang blamed himself very much secretly too.


    Although he and Ren Hongling loved each other very much, he had indeed eloped with Ren Xingchun''s daughter. And Ren Hongling back then was even Wu Fang City''s future and hope.


    When they escaped to the Southern Domain back then, they did not expect to run into a group of martial artists with malicious intentions.


    Ren Hongling was pregnant at the time and accidentally affected the fetal circulation flow. At that time, Ye Yuan who was still in her womb was already in danger of dying.


    In order to preserve Ye Yuan at that time, she poured all of her essence energy into her womb. But because her dantian was damaged, she herself became incapable of amassing essence energy again.


    This increased the guilt in Ye Hang''s heart even more.


    It was precisely because so that he would think of returning to the Northern Domain and get Ren Xingchun''s forgiveness.


    But they never expected that Ren Xingchun was actually extreme to such a degree.


    Seeing Ye Hang''s expression, Ye Yuan''s heart winced in pain, and he said solemnly, "Who said that Father is useless? Isn''t it just a Peak Alchemy Sovereign? Father, your future accomplishments will surely be above his!"


    Ye Hang laughed in spite of himself and said, "Silly boy, your grandfather is already standing at the pinnacle of the Endless World. Surpassing him, wouldn''t I ascend to the Divine Realm?"


    Ye Yuan laughed too and said, "What does ascending to the Divine Realm even count as? I''ve already realized now that the legacy I obtained absolutely far exceeds the Endless World''s standards. Ascending to the Divine Realm is but a matter of time too."


    Right at this time, an immensely powerful pressure enveloped the entire Feng Ya Pavilion. Everyone''s faces changed.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened, and he said to Ye Hang and Ren Hongling, "Father, Mother, just stay here. I''ll face-off with this old fellow!


    To be able to release such a powerful pressure, who else could it be but Ren Xingchun?


    Towards Ren Xingchun, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of a favorable impression.


    Ye Yuan casually laid down a set of restrictions to stop the two of them from coming out, but he himself then turned around and went out. He wanted to have a look at just how much of a scoundrel this old fellow was!


    Ye Yuan came out from inside the house. A slightly aged looking silhouette appeared in the courtyard. Who could it be but Ren Xingchun?


    Bang!


    At first sight, Ren Xingchun directly slapped a palm at Xu Zihui.


    Xu Zihui, Ren Yujie, and Ren Dong were all in the courtyard waiting for Ye Yuan. Ren Xingchun actually did not say a word and directly made a move!


    Disregarding that Xu Zihui did not dare to resist, even if he really resisted, it was impossible to be Ren Xingchun''s match too.


    This palm directly beat Xu Zihui to heavy injuries.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan was already enraged to the extreme and reproached indignantly, "Old fogey, you dare to make a move and hurt people!"


    Ren Xingchun''s temper was clearly not good either, and he likewise rebuked furiously, "Humph! Living off me but secretly helping others! Leaving him his wretched life is already showing mercy! Boy, isn''t your hand extending a bit too long? Don''t think that with Old Hai backing you up, I won''t dare to do anything to you! You actually dared to interfere with my family affairs, even if I killed you, I believe that Old Hai would have nothing to say either!"


    "Father, he is . . ." Ren Yujie anxiously tried to explain.


    "You shut your mouth for this old man! Your gall is getting bigger and bigger now, to actually dare defy my orders! After I take care of this brat, I''ll deal with you after!"


    "Old fogey, if you have the capabilities, kill me together with them today too!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "Humph! Do you really take this old man to be made out of clay? Since you want to die, this old man will fulfill your wish!"


    As he said, Ren Xingchun actually really lifted his palm and struck towards Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, Ren Dong stepped forward bravely and blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Grandfather, if you want to kill Master, then kill me off too!" Ren Dong said with cold eyes.


    Ren Xingchun''s expression choked up, and he said furiously, "You! Each and every one of you is rebelling! You move to one side for me!"


    At this time, a beautiful profile slowly appeared in front of Ye Yuan and said coolly, "Apologies, Mister Ye. Originally, I didn''t want to disturb you. But this place is too noisy."


    Once Yue Mengli appeared, the power emitting faintly from her body immediately scattered Ren Xingchun''s pressure in all directions.


    Ren Xingchun''s expression became apprehensive. Everything in this courtyard was under his control. But he actually did not discover just how this woman showed up!


    Furthermore, the aura emanating off from this woman''s body unexpectedly made him feel daunted!


    There was actually such a powerful martial artist around Ye Yuan still?


    What background did this boy have? He was seriously too mysterious!


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "This old man only knows how to be fierce all day long. I want to see if his bones are really that tough! Li-er, help me take good care of this old fogey!"


    Yue Mengli said apathetically, "Alright."


    As she said, Yue Mengli gently lifted her finger. The situation in the entire courtyard changed drastically!


    Ren Xingchun''s expression changed dramatically when he saw the situation; his mouth was unable to close no matter what.


    "Boundless Realm! This . . . This is absolutely the power belonging to Boundless Realm! This . . . How is this possible?"

 530 Yousre Regretting!

    With Ren Xingchun''s shout, everyone was taken aback from shock.


    What kind of boundary Boundless Realm was, everyone present was all too clear.


    This was power not belonging to the Endless World. How could it possibly appear on such a young girl?


    But with Ren Xingchun''s realm, how could he possibly identify wrongly?


    With this, the gazes that everyone looked at Ye Yuan with underwent a change again.


    A Boundless Realm expert actually willingly followed by Ye Yuan''s side. What kind of concept was this?


    Ren Dong was the first to react and begged Ye Yuan, "Master, although Grandfather he''s rather overbearing, his offense doesn''t deserve death! You . . . You let him go, alright?"


    Ren Xingchun''s mouth moved, wanting to say something, but he ultimately did not speak.


    Facing a Boundless Realm experts, he seriously did not have any confidence to continue being arrogant.


    Seeing Ren Xingchun''s deflated look, Ye Yuan could not help feeling secretly pleased inwardly.


    Yue Mengli could not really make a move. But using her move to deter a little was still very effective.


    This kind of stirring up heaven and earth essence energy was just the effort of lifting a finger to Yue Mengli. But in the eyes of Divine Traversing Realms, it was a god-like realm.


    A Boundless Realm in the Lower Realms represented invincibility!


    Even with Ren Xingchun''s domineering character, he did not dare to act rashly in front of Yue Mengli either.


    "Forget it, forget it. Li-er, put it away. Who asked me to take in such an obedient disciple. If I killed his blood-related grandfather, this master and disciple relation wouldn''t carry on well in the future," Ye Yuan deliberately said with an emotional sigh.


    Yue Mengli nodded and kept her aura, becoming a harmless little girl again. She then stood behind Ye Yuan.


    Ren Dong was ''sold'' by Ye Yuan without even him knowing it. Seeing Yue Mengli cease, he could not help being overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"


    Ren Xingchun also recovered at this point. Hearing Ren Dong calling master over and over again, he could not refrain from saying angrily, "Dong-er, what are you calling him? What right does he, a Sea Transformation Realm brat, have to be your master?"


    Ren Dong shook his head and said, "He''s not my Martial Path master but my Alchemy Path master!"


    Ren Xingchun was stunned. The flames which were just suppressed shot up all at once with a roar again.


    "With Grandpa teaching you alchemy skills, you actually still acknowledged others as your master? Ignoring that you acknowledged a master, Ye Yuan is at the very most just a Quasi-Alchemy King too. What right does he have to be your master? Have you lost your mind?"


    "Grandfather, I''m very clear about what I''m doing! Although Master he can only refine Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills, the profoundness of his Alchemy Path knowledge far exceeds yours! As the saying goes, those who reached first can teach! He can naturally be my master!" Ren Dong said.


    Only now did Ren Xingchun recall Ye Yuan''s performance at the Thousand Query Wall. Back then, he stopped Ye Yuan from continuing to challenge. If he really carried on, how many questions Ye Yuan could answer was really hard to say.


    Looking from this, Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Path standards actually far surpassed his present realm.


    As long as his boundary reached, the standards of the medicinal pills refined would greatly surpass those of the same rank.


    Like this, Ye Yuan being Ren Dong''s master did not seem to be unjustifiable.


    Ren Xingchun discovered that he could not do anything to this youth before his eyes at all.


    He had a Boundless Realm fighter, and his own alchemy knowledge was also very heaven-defying.


    Martial Path and Alchemy Path, he actually could not match up to a brat who was still wet behind the ears. This made the arrogance in heart and haughty in manner Ren Xingchun feel very aggrieved.


    "Stinking brat! Quickly hand over Ye Hang and my daughter! This is my family matter! It isn''t your turn to interfere!"


    Ren Xingchun talking right now was not as confident as earlier. He did not even dare to say threatening words.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "They are right inside this house behind me. If you have the capabilities, you go and bring them out yourself."


    "You!"


    Ren Xingchun took a look at the Yue Mengli behind Yue Mengli and nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    If I could beat her, I would have long brought them out! Why would I waste my breath with you?


    Ren Xingchun sucked in a deep breath and reined in his impatience as he asked Ye Yuan, "Fine. Then I ask you, what is your relationship with them? Why do you want to save them?!"


    But Ye Yuan did not answer. He just looked at him with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    When these words came out, Ren Xingchun himself was stunned for a bit too.


    He was originally in the midst of anger and did not think deeply about this matter.


    Now that he asked, he thought of a possibility.


    Ye Yuan was surnamed Ye. Ye Hang was surnamed Ye too. Moreover, calculating according to the time, Ye Hang and Ren Hongling had also left the Northern Domain for 18 to 19 years already; just nice coinciding with Ye Yuan''s age.


    Shouldn''t be . . .


    Ren Xingchun seemed to have thought of something and abruptly turned his head to asked Ren Yujie, "You all knew long ago?"


    Ren Yujie forced a smile and said, "I only knew today as well! It was Sister''s one sentence which shocked me awake thoroughly. That''s why I took the risk of Father laying down punishment to bring her to find Ye Yuan."


    Ren Xingchun was stupefied and asked, "What did Hongling she say?"


    "She said, if Brother-in-Law died, she absolutely wouldn''t live on alone! And if Ye Yuan knew that they died in your hands, he''ll surely come to find you to take revenge in the future! She didn''t hope to see this kind of human relations tragedy to happen to our Ren Family! When I knew that Sister''s son was Ye Yuan, I knew that he completely had this capability to come and find you to take revenge in the future!"


    Hearing these words, Ren Xingchun was secretly alarmed.


    Was there a need to wait for the future?


    Ye Yuan had a seemingly Boundless Realm expert beside him right now. He wanting to kill him was simply something effortless!


    Even if he did not rely on this Boundless Realm, with Ye Yuan''s degree of monstrousness, maybe in less than five years, he would not be his match anymore!


    He had such a heaven-defying maternal grandson, but he also almost killed his son-in-law. Why did this sort of thing seem so absurd?


    Except that Ren Xingchun never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan this gradually rising genius martial artist was actually his own maternal grandson!


    This grandson should originally have been the entire Wu Fang City''s pride. But now . . .


    This was the first time in his life that Ren Xingchun felt somewhat regretful.


    For so many years, he stood by his words. He wanted the entire Wu Fang City to all listen to him.


    His daughter fell for a bottom-level alchemist; he wanted to use forceful means to separate them.


    Now, that alchemist brought sincerity and brought his wife to come and apologize to him; instead, he wanted to kill that alchemist.


    "You''re regretting!" Ye Yuan''s voice suddenly rang out.


    Ren Xingchun was startled. This boy actually saw through his thoughts?


    "You''re regretting that a junior which even Old Hai regards highly was actually your own grandson, but you didn''t know!"


    "You''re regretting that this grandson can give your Wu Fang City, can give your Ren Family limitless reverence and benefits, but you wanted to kill his father!"


    "You''re regretting that such an outstanding grandson, but you offended him thoroughly!"


    "But have you thought about that if I was just an ordinary person, would you still regret the things that you did last time?"


    "If I were just an ordinary person, my corpse would probably be lying in this courtyard right now already, right?"


    "Therefore . . . you''re just an utter and complete self-centered person! In your eyes, only your paramount status is the most important!"

 531 Hitting the Nail on the Head

    Each sentence that Ye Yuan had uttered struck Ren Xingchun''s heart like a heavy punch.


    Such an outstanding junior was absolutely what every family clan were extremely eager for.


    Even using one''s heel to think about it, one would also know that Ye Yuan''s future accomplishments would surely be extraordinary.


    But now, Ren Xingchun had offended this descendant thoroughly.


    Of course, offended means offended. If it were an ordinary person, Ren Xingchun could capture him back to discipline him strictly.


    But the problem was that he could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all!


    "Humph! What do you know at your young age? Everything that I do is for the sake of the Ren Family! If there wasn''t me, how could the Ren Family quash the Cao Family and firmly occupy this Wu Fang City''s highest position?"


    Ren Xingchun was very conceited. Even if he felt regret over Ye Yuan in his heart, it was also not possible to lower his head to Ye Yuan this junior.


    Furthermore, he did not feel that what he did was in any way wrong.


    This was the most crucial!


    "Hahaha! You, this old man, are really amusing! Is this game of deceiving yourself and others very fun?" Hearing Ren Xingchun''s words, Ye Yuan burst into laughter.


    The mockery in the laugh was revealed completely.


    Ren Xingchun said with a black face, "Deceiving myself and others? Wu Fang City is already managed by me tight like an iron bucket. Who dares to say a word of no to my orders?"


    "Like an iron bucket is it? Maybe! It''s just that, this is only temporary! If your words are really the law in this Wu Fang City, on that day when I challenged the Thousand Query Wall, you shouldn''t have been standing on the Cao Family''s side. You should have been kicking them while they are down to pull the Cao Family up by the roots! You didn''t dare to do this because the Cao Family''s bedrock is too deep. And this Wu Fang City''s prestige still needs the Cao Family to maintain it, and not you, this City Lord!"


    Ye Yuan continued with a cold smile and said, "The Cao Family is just on the decline temporarily. Their foundation is right there. Sooner or later, there will come a day when they will rise up once more. And you . . . are just an upstart. Without a bedrock, without any future! After you pass your peak period, Wu Fang City will change hands once more! Actually, you yourself realized this point too, right?"


    "Humph! Dong-er talent greatly surpasses that Cao Fang. You saw it yourself too. As long as Dong-er matures, the Cao Family still will be trampled underfoot by our Ren Family!" Ren Xingchun continued to be stubborn.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I don''t deny this point. But do you really feel that Ren Dong can take on the heavy responsibility all by himself? What can you leave for him? A powerful family? Cao Family is indeed inferior to Ren Dong, but they are just Quasi-Alchemy Kings after all. At Alchemy King this level? Alchemy Sovereign this level? The Cao Family can invite so many Alchemy Sovereign experts every five years. Those people didn''t come on account of your face. They came for the Cao Family! In terms of foundation, in terms of connections, in terms of talents, the Ren Family doesn''t have a single one that can beat the Cao Family!"


    Ye Yuan''s words shattered Ren Xingchun''s sense of superiority to dust.


    Ren Xingchun opened his mouth but did not know how to refute.


    His entire person seemed to have been sapped dry. It was as if his whole person aged greatly instantaneously.


    Ye Yuan''s words hit the nail on the head. He had no way of refuting at all.


    The Ren Family''s few years of flashiness were just on the exterior. Ren Xingchun had long realized the Ren Family''s crisis. Hence, he groomed Ren Hongling and the Ren Dong later on without sparing any effort.


    But just as Ye Yuan said, the Ren Family''s foundation was too shallow and simply could not be compared with the Cao Family.


    Within the Cao Family''s third generation, indeed, there was nobody who could surpass Ren Dong. But the Cao Family''s second generation was much stronger than the Ren Family''s!


    In the Cao Family''s second generation, just the Alchemy Sovereign experts numbered quite a few. Who dared to guarantee that among these people, there wouldn''t be a peak Alchemy Sovereign being born in the future?


    As long as a peak Alchemy Sovereign appears in the Cao Family, his position as the City Lord would be in imminent danger!


    And the Ren Family only had Ren Yujie this early-rank Alchemy King.


    Ren Yujie was quite talented in the area of managing the city. But, on the alchemy path, it was rather forceful for him.


    Ren Xingchun spared no effort to quash the Cao Family on the one hand. On the other hand, he had no choice but to borrow the Cao Family''s prestige to strengthen Wu Fang City''s rule.


    The hardships in between this, only he himself knew.


    Who could have thought that such a young youth actually saw through the Ren Family''s peril at one glance?


    It was precisely because of so that after Ren Xingchun knew Ye Yuan''s identity, he became even more dejected.


    Ren Xingchun very much wished that Ye Yuan could become a member of the Ren Family. But his personality was like this. He would not lower his pride to say some submissive words. His attitude was still very unyielding.


    Ye Yuan ignored Ren Xingchun''s awkwardness. He went to Xu Zihui''s side and poured essence energy from his palm into Xu Zihui''s body.


    Ye Yuan could only refine Tier 4 medicinal pills right now. It could not have much of an effect on Xu Zihui at all.


    But Ye Yuan had many ways of treating people. Although his realm was not high, using essence energy to help Xu Zihui ease his wounds was still doable.


    Before long, Xu Zihui''s complexion became a little rosier. Although his wounds were not healed yet, he could still labor to say some words.


    The conversation between this grandfather and grandson, although Xu Zihui was unable to stick a word in, he still took it all in.


    Honestly speaking, he felt that City Lord was very impressive all along. But he did not think that the City Lord Manor''s crisis actually already reached such a state.


    It was precisely because of so that he admired Ye Yuan even more.


    This boy was so young. Not only was his strength and means extremely formidable, but his visual prowess also greatly surpassed ordinary people. His future accomplishments were boundless!


    "Thank . . . Thank you very much, Young Master Ye!"


    Xu Zihui forcefully propped himself to stand up and wanted to give a bow to Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan stopped him and said unhappily, "Disregarding that you got injured because of me, just based on our friendship, is there a need to say a word of thanks?"


    Xu Zihui went blank and could not help being overjoyed in his heart.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s tone, he took him as a sworn friend for life or death!


    Although his realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s, to be able to be recognized by Ye Yuan at this time, he could not contain the joy in his heart.


    To be able to become friends with a peerless prodigy like Ye Yuan, others could not accomplish this even if they were envious!


    Xu Zihui nodded hard at Ye Yuan to express that he understood.


    Seeing this scene, Ren Xingchun''s face became even blacker.


    This brat was so polite to his own subordinate. But to himself, Ye Yuan had the manner of keeping him a thousand miles away.


    Definitely did it intentionally for him to see!


    Xu Zihui saw Ren Xingchun''s face too and could not help smiling bitterly as he said, "Young Master Ye . . ."


    "Brother Zihui don''t need to be courteous with me. Directly call my name, or call me younger brother." Ye Yuan interrupted him


    Xu Zihui was blank. He nodded and said, "Then I won''t be melodramatic. Ye Yuan, I know that I''m an outsider, but can you allow me to say a few words?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slowly. The meaning was clearly permitting it.


    Xu Zihui was secretly relieved, and he opened his mouth to say, "I never would have dreamed that you''re actually City Lord''s grandson! I''ve followed City Lord for many years. His grace to me is as heavy as a mountain! Even if he really killed me, I wouldn''t have any complaints either. But seeing you grandfather and grandson wrangling until like this, I really feel very upset!"

 532 Lowering Ones Head

    Talking up to here, Xu Zihui sneaked a glance at Ye Yuan, only seeing that he did not have a displeased look.


    Xu Zihui pluck his courage and said, "You are blood-related kin in the end. Even if City Lord has all kinds of faults, the fact that he''s your grandfather can''t be changed. Since you''re all one family, why is there a need to cause a scene to such an extent? Regardless of what he has done, his original intention was for the Ren Family, no?"


    But Ren Xingchun was enraged when he heard that, "Xu Zihui, do I need you to poke your nose into other people''s business? How can this City Lord''s merits and faults be appraised by you?!"


    Ren Xingchun thought very highly of Xu Zihui all along. Otherwise, that blow just now, Xu Zihui would have already gone to the western paradise.


    But no matter how highly he regarded him, Xu Zihui was also just a subordinate of his.


    A subordinate saying his master had ''all kinds of faults'' in front of his face, with Ren Xingchun''x temperament, how could he preserve face?


    Ye Yuan said with Xu Zihui with a smile, "You see, he doesn''t care about your kindness!"


    But Xu Zihui did not have any embarrassed look and shook his head as he said, "City Lord''s temper, I''m aware. This life of mine was given by City Lord. Whether he accepts my grace or not is his problem. But whether I do it or not is mine! Since Ye Yuan you have a good opinion of me and call my Brother Zihui, then even if I die, I''m also not willing to see you grandfather and grandson fall out and become enemies."


    Ye Yuan glanced at Xu Zihui and shook his head as he said with a sigh, "Brother Zihui is very loyal. To be able to make friends with Brother Zihui is truly Ye Yuan''s fortune!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were naturally not said for fun. If there weren''t Xu Zihui, Ye Hang would probably be long dead at this time already. And the current situation would also definitely not be how it was right now.


    If Ye Hang really died, Ye Yuan would surely go into a frenzied state. Even if Ren Xingchun were Ye Yuan''s grandfather, he would definitely kill him personally too.


    Ye Yuan recognized Ye Hang this father, but it did not mean that he recognized Ren Xingchun this ''grandfather''!


    If he really killed Ren Xingchun, Ye Yuan would not have any psychological burden at all.


    If not for Xu Zihui this person being so upright, even if he knew Ye Yuan and Ye Hang''s relationship, he might not be able to withstand Ren Xingchun''s pressure and take a principled action.


    Ren Xingchun''s prestige all these years in Wu Fang City was still exceedingly terrifying.


    This situation currently, although Ye Yuan was extremely displeased, it was still not at the extent of falling out entirely. Especially under the circumstances where he held the initiative.


    Ye Yuan slowly came in front of Ren Xingchun and extended his hand to say, "Give it!"


    Ren Xingchun was stunned. "Give what?"


    "Healing medicinal pills!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ren Xingchun looked at Ye Yuan and glanced at Xu Zihui again, his expression flickering continuously.


    He knew that this was the last chance Ye Yuan was giving him. If he refused to give the medicinal pills, his relationship with Ye Yuan would most likely be unable to be mitigated forever.


    Ren Xingchun could sense that Ye Yuan''s stubbornness was absolutely not beneath his.


    But handing over the medicinal pills was equivalent to him lowering his head to Ye Yuan.


    He injured his subordinate but used his own medicinal pills to heal. This by itself was a form of submission. Yet, Ren Xingchun was an extremely tyrannical person. There had only ever been others lowering their heads to him. Where was there the part of him submitting to others?


    Everyone held their breaths, awaiting Ren Xingchun''s choice.


    With this falling out, Ye Yuan and the Ren Family would probably have no way of getting together again.


    Xu Zihui did not say anything by the side. He had interacted with Ye Yuan for a period of time too and more or less understood a bit of Ye Yuan''s personality.


    He was extremely domineering facing a leviathan like the Myriad Sword Sect and directly detained Qin Hongtao''s grandson.


    Now, facing a Ren Xingchun, Ye Yuan being able to do it to such a step was already giving him tremendous face.


    As for how he chose, it would be up to Ren Xingchun himself.


    Ren Xingchun felt his heart beat very fiercely. He froze there without moving for a long time.


    He never thought that he would actually be checkmated by his own grandson.


    Facing Ye Yuan''s overbearingness, Ren Xingchun actually had dread in his heart!


    Ren Xingchun was perfectly clear about Ye Yuan''s ability. Once the Ren Family had Ye Yuan, it was far from as simple as having a descendant with an exceptionally promising future.


    Ye Yuan''s prowess by itself was already ample to astonish everyone!


    The Cao Family''s dread towards Ye Yuan right now simply could not be described using words.


    Originally, Ren Xingchun was also extremely wary of Ye Yuan. But if Ye Yuan joined the Ren Family, the Cao Family was completely nothing to be scared of!


    With Ye Yuan, the Ren Family would have an additional living Thousand Query Wall!


    "Faster! My patience has a limit!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Ren Xingchun drew a deep breath and took out a Tier 4 healing medicinal pill from his storage ring. He slammed it sullenly on Ye Yuan''s palm.


    Seeing this scene, everyone heaved a long sigh in relief.


    Ye Yuan lightly swept a glance over the medicinal pill in his palm and said disdainfully, "A dignified peak Alchemy Sovereign can only refine this sort of rubbish medicinal pill? Forget it, who ask me to be unable to refine Tier 4 medicinal pills. Brother Zihui, you make do with these and take them."


    As he said this, Ye Yuan casually threw the medicinal pill to Xu Zihui.


    Ren Xingchun''s face went black, and he said furiously, "Stinking brat, this Azure Flower Jade Dew Pill is the highest grade healing medicinal pill in Wu Fang City! You actually say that it''s rubbish?"


    Ye Yuan said crossly, "An exalted peak Alchemy Sovereign refining a Tier 4 medicinal pill can only come out with just high-grade. You have the face to take them out?!"


    Ren Xingchun said with a cold smile, "Who doesn''t know how to brag?! If you have the capabilities, refine one yourself for me to see!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled but did not speak. But the contempt in his expression stimulated Ren Xingchun greatly.


    He had yet to flare up when Ren Dong interjected, "Grandfather, if Master he broke through to the Alchemy King Realm, refining transcendent-grade Azure Flower Jade Dew Pills should be not an issue!"


    "You rascal! Why are you helping outsiders? Also, he''s your cousin! What are you calling him master for?!"


    Hearing Ren Dong cut in, Ren Xingchun immediately blew up and directly shouted.


    But Ren Dong grinned cheekily and said, "You already said that he''s my cousin. How is it helping outsiders? Furthermore . . . we''re each involved differently. It doesn''t affect any thing! Since I acknowledged Cousin as my master, he''ll be my master in this lifetime!"


    Ren Xingchun''s face went black, and his figure moved, carrying Ren Dong in his arm.


    "Stinking brat! Still being stubborn! Watch if I don''t take care of you properly when we return! Also, you, Yujie! Go back and face the wall to reflect!"


    As he said, Ren Xingchun''s figure moved, vanishing from inside Feng Ya Pavilion.


    Seeing Ren Xingchun''s distant back view, Xu Zihui said gratefully, "Young Master saved face for City Lord. Zihui is endlessly grateful!"


    Xu Zihui perceived that after Ye Yuan took the medicinal pill earlier, he deliberately displayed a disdainful look as an impromptu jest. This way, everyone would not appear to be overly awkward.


    Although Ye Yuan forced Ren Xingchun to lower his head, he was after all one of the top alchemists in this small world.


    This face still had to be given.


    Ye Yuan had a black face as he said unhappily, "What young master? Why are you at it again? Just call me Ye Yuan in future! Over here at my place, you''re not a subordinate but a friend!"

 533 The Cao Familys Distress

    "What did you say? Ye Yuan is Ren Xingchun''s grandson?"


    These two days, the news that Ye Yuan was Ren Xingchun''s grandson slowly spread out within Wu Fang City. The Cao Family was naturally among the first batch of family clans who were informed of this news.


    When Cao Zheng heard this news, alarm and panic were all over his face.


    This news was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue to him.


    How monstrous Ye Yuan was, Cao Zheng already had a taste of it.


    His performance at the Thousand Query Wall made Cao Zheng unbelievably panic-stricken.


    Originally, Ren Xingchun falling out with Ye Yuan at Exquisite Jade Pavilion even delighted Cao Zheng endlessly. Who knew that the situation would change drastically. News suddenly came from the Ren Family that Ye Yuan actually was Ren Xingchun''s grandson!


    Ye Yuan''s realm was not high but was an exceptionally troublesome character. Not only was his alchemy knowledge extremely terrifying, he even had the support of the Three Sects and Qi Hai behind him. He was simply unshakable by anyone.


    Such an existence became a member of the Ren Family. This simply could be said to be a catastrophic disaster for the Cao Family!


    The Cao Family''s greatest confidence and reliance right now were the Thousand Query Wall. Yet, this confidence in front of Ye Yuan could not withstand a single blow.


    If Ye Yuan was not a Ren Family member, for the sake of Wu Fang City''s collective interest, Ren Xingchun had no choice but to stand on the Cao Family''s side.


    But, if Ye Yuan became a Ren Family member, the situation would be entirely different.


    With Ye Yuan''s alchemy knowledge, he could completely come and challenge the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level directly. Even if the challenge was not successful, as long as Ye Yuan''s performance was sufficiently heaven-defying, he could also push the Ren Family''s prestige to another height.


    At that time, the Ren Family completely did not need to rely on the Cao Family''s prestige anymore.


    Because Ye Yuan was another Thousand Query Wall!


    Ren Xingchun had long viewed the Cao Family as a thorn in the side. If he had a living Thousand Query Wall like Ye Yuan, it was impossible for him to let go of the chance to suppress the Cao Family!


    "Yes! The information is already confirmed! Back then, Ren Xingchun''s youngest daughter eloped to the Southern Domain with an Alchemy Master without any background, and she gave birth to a boy in a mortal kingdom. That boy is Ye Yuan!"


    The one talking was Cao Zheng''s eldest son, Cao Kun. At present, he was already an early-rank Alchemy Sovereign expert.


    Entirely different from Cao Fang being utterly suppressed by Ren Dong, Cao Kun was an elite among the Cao Family''s second generation, standing out above the entire city!


    Apart from Cao Kun, the Cao Family still had a number of sons who were all Alchemy King experts.


    Compared to Ren Yujie, it was seriously way stronger!


    These few sons of Cao Zheng were the people Ren Xingchun was wariest of. Especially Cao Kun. It was very likely for him to impact through the realm of peak Alchemy Sovereign in the future.


    As long as the Cao Family gave birth to another peak Alchemy Sovereign expert, the Cao Family''s declining trend would gradually turn around.


    These few years, Cao Zheng had always been enduring silently. It was for the sake of waiting for Cao Kun to rise up.


    But Ye Yuan''s appearance completely ruined his plans.


    Cao Zheng sucked in a deep breath. He sat back down onto his seat with tightly knitted brows.


    This news was too shocking. He was caught somewhat off-guard.


    "Any other news?"


    Cao Kun''s expression was not too good either as he said, "Some news even came out of City Lord Manor. It''s just that I don''t know if it''s true or false."


    "Speak!"


    "It''s said that Ren Xingchun will send out a public notice two days later to announce an important issue! Although it''s uncertain what it is, it may be assumed that it can''t be not related to that Ye Yuan!"


    Cao Zheng felt an incredible headache. Originally, in this Wu Fang City, the momentum of all of the luck was gradually leaning towards the Cao Family.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s appearance completely turned the situation around.


    After a long time, Cao Zheng looked his son and asked, "How much strength . . . do you feel that Ye Yuan really has? I''m talking about . . . Thousand Query Wall!"


    That day when Ye Yuan challenged the Thousand Query Wall, although Cao Kun wasn''t present, he researched Ye Yuan''s answers carefully after the incident too, and it actually gave him a feeling of suddenly seeing the light.


    As a Cao Family descendant, the most important thing was to study the Thousand Query Wall.


    Cao Kun as an Alchemy Sovereign expert was very clear about the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level''s questions.


    Ye Yuan''s answers made him have a feeling of sighing at his own inferiority.


    This youth was too strong!


    Cao Kun mused for a moment and smiled bitterly as he shook his head and said, "I really have no way of estimating! Although Ye Yuan only answered 20 questions, these 20 questions, he answered all of them directly; virtually without even thinking time! More importantly, all of his answers leave no room for criticism and completely can''t pick out any fault! This shows that these 20 questions were very easy for him. As for where his limit lies, most likely, nobody knows! Unless . . ."


    Cao Kun did not finish saying. But Cao Zheng understood his meaning.


    Unless Ye Yuan continued challenging the questions in front, otherwise, nobody knew where his limit lies!


    The Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level could be said to be a deity-like existence. Even though these 20 questions were only ranked at the back of the seventh level, the difficulty involved already represented the Endless World''s pinnacle standard.


    But it was this pinnacle standard that was like child''s play in front of Ye Yuan, utterly without any difficulty in the slightest.


    So where Ye Yuan''s limits lay, nobody knew either.


    But the problem was, did the Cao Family dare to let Ye Yuan continue challenging their Thousand Query Wall?


    When the mysterious veil of a holy land was uncovered layer by layer, then it could no longer be hailed as a holy land.


    After a long while, Cao Zheng gave a sigh and said, "The Cao Family has lasted several thousand years and been through several times of prosperity and decline, but we pulled through all of it. These several decades, the Cao Family was suppressed by the Ren Family all along. Father has never given up before either. But now, sigh . . . You take your leave first. Let Father think about it properly . . ."


    Seeing Cao Zheng''s look, Cao Kun was downcast too.


    His painstaking efforts these few years was for the sake of quashing the Ren Family. But now, because of the appearance of a Sea Transformation Realm youth, it vanished like soap bubbles. This made him have intense unwillingness in his heart.


    It was just that so what even if he was any more unwilling?


    What Cao Zheng wanted to think about, Cao Kun naturally knew. He wanted to think about how to let the Cao Family carry on surviving!


    Was a colossal family clan with a lineage of several thousand years actually facing annihilation?


    . . . . . .


    City Lord Manor, Ren Yujie was currently a guest at Ren Hongling''s residence.


    Ren Yujie said with a smile, "Hongling, you and Brother-in-Law lived a vagrant life outside these few years. You must have really suffered considerable hardships! Now, Father finally thought it through. Our family can finally sit down properly and have a chat."


    But Ren Hongling was displeased as she said, "What thought things through?! If it wasn''t for Yuan-er, how could he have possibly thought it through? Furthermore, my husband and I have already treated the State of Qin as our home these few years. Where is there suffering hardships?"


    Ren Yujie was a goody-two-shoes. Hearing that Ren Yujie was still full of grievances, he was feeling rather awkward.


    Ye Hang could only come forward to smooth things over. He said, "Hongling, although our family went through quite a lot of twists and turns during this period, it also considered a happy ending right now. Past matters, just let it go."


    In truth, how could Ye Hang not have resentment in his heart?


    But Ye Hang''s disposition was magnanimous, and his tolerance was outstanding. He had long come to accept everything.


    In Ye Hang''s heart, Ye Yuan''s current accomplishments were extraordinary. Ren Hongling could return to the Ren Family too. He no longer had any worries in his heart.


    The various things in the past, he did not have anything he could not get over too.

 534 Announcing to the Entire City

    Hearing Ye Hang said so, Ren Hongling had nothing much to say as well.


    Although Ren Hongling was resentful towards Ren Xingchun in her heart, she was Ren Xingchun''s daughter after all.


    With this matter being able to be resolved perfectly, Ren Hongling was naturally very happy in her heart too.


    "Actually, Ye Yuan''s words that day shook Father up greatly. These two days, his attitude when speaking to me was much better than before. Intentionally in his words and in a roundabout manner, he had remorse towards the two of you. It''s just that due to pride, he couldn''t come over to find you guys," Ren Yujie said.


    Ye Hang waved his hand and said, "Past matters are already over. City Lord is a senior after all. How can we let him come and apologize?"


    Ren Yujie nodded his head and said, "I wonder what plans Brother-in-Law have from here on?"


    Ye Hang said, "I''ve already discussed with Hongling. After some time, we''ll return with Grand Elder Skymaple back to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. That is Yuan-er''s home. It''s naturally our home too."


    Ren Yujie smiled bitterly and said, "Are you guys still harboring resentment towards Father in your hearts?"


    Ye Hang shook his head and said, "What''s Elder Brother talking about? Now that my wish is fulfilled, there isn''t any resentment. It''s just that we understand Yuan-er. He definitely won''t be some young patriarch in this Wu Fang City. He will return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Hongling''s and my greatest worry is Yuan-er. We''re naturally unwilling to leave him."


    Ren Yujie came to a realization. He said, "Actually, me coming to find you guys today was Father''s intentions. He has an idea and wants to seek your opinions."


    Ye Hang and Ren Hongling exchanged glances and were slightly a bit surprised.


    Ren Yujie would actually seek the two of their opinions when doing things. It made them very surprised.


    "Elder Brother, please say," Ye Hang said.


    "Actually, Father felt that he owes you guys too much these few years and wants to hold a make-up wedding for you. At the appointed time, he will announce to the entire Wu Fang City and apologize to you guys for the incident back then! It''s just that he was embarrassed to ask you. So he sent me to consult your opinions," Ren Yujie said.


    Ye Hang could not help being stunned when he heard that. He did not quite dare to believe that Ren Xingchun would actually do something like this.


    Back then, he had experienced Ren Xingchun''s high-handed personality many times. Coming to Wu Fang City this time, Ren Xingchun''s behavior went from bad to worse.


    To think that after experiencing the incident two days back, Ren Xingchun would actually undergo such a huge transformation!


    Ye Hang knew that this was all changes which Ye Yuan brought to him.


    One had to admit that this suggestion of Ren Xingchun still made his heart palpitate with excitement.


    He brought Ren Hongling and traveled far away to the Southern Domain back then. But Ren Hongling conceived Ye Yuan along the way. Then, later on, they settled down in the State of Qin. He and Ren Hongling actually never held a presentable ceremony between them before.


    Although Ren Hongling followed him out of her own free will, he still felt like he owed her in his heart throughout.


    With a time interval of many years, if he could hold a grand and spectacular ceremony, it could also be considered a compensation to Ren Hongling, right?


    Especially this time. It was going to be held with Ren Xingchun''s blessings. The significance was naturally extraordinary.


    Except, making Ren Xingchun inform the entire city, this sort of thing was a bit too damaging to one''s face. This point made Ye Hang hesitate.


    Ye Hang looked dearly at Ren Hongling. Ren Hongling smiled gently and said, "All up to Husband to make the decision."


    The two of them had helped each other in humble circumstances and had long known what the other was thinking. Just one look and Ren Hongling knew what Ye Hang was worried about.


    Ye Hang felt grateful inwardly and said, "Hongling, after we return to the Tranquil Cloud Sect, I''ll invite Grand Elder Skymaple to take charge and hold a make-up ceremony.


    But Ren Yujie''s expression changed and he said, "You''d rather go back to the Tranquil Cloud Sect than be willing to accept Father''s apology? Isn''t doing this too overboard!"


    Ye Hang shook his head and said, "Elder Brother, you''re mistaken! City Lord is the ruler of a city. His status is comparable to the Three Sects'' old ancestors. How can we let him do such a thing?"


    "Uncle, you go and tell that old man. About this matter, I''ll agree on Father''s behalf." Right then, Ye Yuan''s voice came over from outside the door.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked into the room and came before Ye Hang and said, "This is what that old man owes you, and it is also what you deserve! Heh heh, looks like that old man isn''t stupid. He knows to use you guys to tie me down! But I have to admit that him doing this thing is quite in line with what I want."


    Ye Hang was stupefied by what Ye Yuan said. This boy was too impolite to his elders when talking.


    But Ye Yuan was no longer the former Ye Yuan. He was already a great figure who could command a region!


    Although that face was still somewhat childish and tender, he had already grown into a towering tree.


    Towards Ye Yuan, Ye Hang had long not used the mentality of treating little children to treat him.


    Although he felt that Ye Yuan''s attitude was rather inappropriate, he did not say anything either.


    "Yuan-er, this isn''t very good, right? After all, he''s your grandfather," Ye Hang used a consulting tone and said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Heh heh, I didn''t acknowledge that he''s my grandfather. The Ren Family doesn''t have anything to do with me at all! To me, you and mother are the most important people! That old man harmed you guys and even almost killed you. Although I didn''t haggle over it, it doesn''t mean that he doesn''t need to pay a bit of a price! Furthermore, do you think that informing the entire city is very detrimental to him?"


    Ye Hang was dazed as he said, "Isn''t that so?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "The martial artist world has always been talking using strength. Although alchemists are slightly different from martial artists, they similarly use strength to talk! That old man''s strength is formidable enough. Even if there are nastier scandals, what loss is there to him? But for him announcing to the entire city and acknowledging you as his son-in-law, is equivalent to acknowledging me as his maternal grandson. This will only make his position, the City Lord, be even more secure!"


    This was not Ye Yuan blowing his own trumpet, but it was a fact.


    Ye Yuan''s alchemy strength was a sea-stabilizing divine needle to the future Ren Family!


    So what if the second generation had a declining trend? So what if the Cao Family''s foundation was deep?


    These things were all too weak to take a single blow in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Hang was not a foolish person. Hearing Ye Yuan say this, he immediately understood what was happening.


    But he did not have any resentment towards Ren Xingchun. For Ren Xingchun to do so, the price paid was also big enough.


    A character who stood at the pinnacle of a world''s Alchemy Path like Ren Xingchun, making him come forward to openly admit his fault seriously needed immense courage.


    Let alone a person with Ren Xingchun''s character. Wanting to do such a thing required even greater courage.


    For Ren Xingchun to be able to do it to such an extent, it could be said that he was sincerely repentant. It could also be said that he was genuinely considering for the Ren Family''s future.


    Once Ye Hang figured it out, he was no longer conflicted. He nodded and said, "Alright then. You make the call for this matter. Oh, right, weren''t you in closed-seclusion? Why did you exit seclusion so quickly?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You''re going to host a grand wedding ceremony here. How can I, as your son, not present a lavish gift?"


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out two small medicinal bottles and placed them in Ye Hang''s hand.

 535 Resplendent Jade Pill

    Ye Yuan pointed at one of the small bottles and said, "Father is already at the peak Crystal Formation Realm. This Sea Expanding Pill can help you to open up an essence energy sea and advance to the Sea Transformation Realm!"


    Ye Hang was overjoyed when he heard that. He knew that Ye Yuan had a mysterious master who taught him and had countless pill formulas in his brain.


    He had never heard of this Sea Expanding Pill before. But since Ye Yuan took it out to give to him, it was likely not an ordinary medicinal pill.


    Ever since cultivating in the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, Ye Hang''s cultivation advanced with giant strides. In this short year, he already cultivated to the peak of Crystal Formation Realm.


    Shattering the core and forming the sea was a crucial step to martial artists. This Sea Expanding Pill was naturally the most suitable for Ye Hang.


    "Then the other bottle?" Ye Hang asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The medicinal pill inside the other bottle is called Resplendent Jade Pill. This medicinal pill can directly act on the martial artist''s dantian, repairing the dantian''s damage. This medicinal pill is quite troublesome to refine, so it was delayed for some time."


    Ren Hongling was slightly dazed and looked at the medicinal pill in Ye Hang''s hands in disbelief.


    Ye Hang sucked in a deep breath too and looked at Ye Yuan as he said, "You mean that this medicinal pill can repair your mother''s dantian and let her amass essence energy anew?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head with a smile and said, "That''s right. In the past, I overlooked it and never thought that Mother was actually a martial artist too! Since I''m already aware of it now, I naturally have to think of ways to remedy it."


    After rebirth, Ye Yuan practically spent all of his time being busy and completely did not notice Ren Hongling''s dantian damage.


    Seeing that her body did not have the slightest trace of essence energy undulations, he even thought that she was just a normal person.


    Hence, when he heard that Ren Hongling lost her essence energy completely as a result of saving him, apart from being moved, Ye Yuan wanted to think of ways to help her recover even more.


    Although who Ren Hongling saved was just his predecessor, the previous Ye Yuan, to the present Ye Yuan, it was not any different.


    By the side, Ren Yujie had shock written all over his face too. The dantian was where the foundation of martial artists lied but was also the most sensitive and fragile place.


    Once the dantian was damaged, it could be said to be a catastrophic blow to martial artists. Unless there were some heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, otherwise, it would basically be ruined in this lifetime.


    Pill formulas which restored the dantian were exceedingly rare. Furthermore, the refining difficulty were all extremely great.


    In the Endless World, there were simply no dantian restoring pill formulas. Or else, with Ren Xingchun''s cultivation, he would definitely have long refined it for Ren Hongling.


    At Ye Yuan''s level, refining this Resplendent Jade Pill took such a long time too. It could be seen just how hard it was to refine this sort of medicinal pills.


    Ordinary alchemists, even if they had the pill formula, might not be able to refine it either.


    Hence, the astonishment in Ren Yujie''s heart could be imagined.


    Ren Hongling''s entire body trembled all over with agitation. She looked at Ye Hang with tears in her eyes and said, "Husband, to think that I can actually become an alchemist again one day!"


    Ye Hang burst into laughter and said, "Hongling, you gave birth to a fine son! Hahaha!"


    Although Ren Hongling assisted her husband and brought up her son with a mortal''s identity for over a decade, this did not mean that she had no attachments towards alchemy skills.


    One could only say that Ye Hang''s and Ye Yuan''s importance to Ren Hongling far surpassed her attachment toward alchemy skills. It was because of this that she could suppress her dreams so composedly for so many years.


    But it was merely suppressed. Back then, Ren Hongling only got together with Ye Hang because of alchemy skills. Her feelings towards alchemy skills were naturally needless to say.


    Now, she could actually become an alchemist once again. The agitation in Ren Hongling''s heart could be imagined.


    Although it was delayed for over a decade''s time, Ren Hongling''s age to martial artists was not considered too old. She still had hoped to climb to the summit of the Alchemy Path.


    Ren Yujie heaved a sigh and said, "It''s you guys who gave birth to a fine son together!"


    . . . . . .


    Four hours later, in Ren Xingchun''s study room.


    "What?! You said that Ye Yuan refined a dantian restoring medicinal pill? Not only did Hongling recover essence energy now, she even broke through to Alchemy Grandmaster?" Ren Xingchun nearly jumped up when he heard this news.


    Ren Yujie nodded and said, "Yes. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Hongling consumed the Resplendent Jade Pill that Ye Yuan refined and started closed-seclusion. When she came out again, she was already Alchemy Grandmaster realm!"


    "Huuu . . ." Ren Xingchun sucked in a deep breath. He was digesting this news.


    "Oh right, after Hongling exited seclusion, Brother-in-Law had entered closed-seclusion too. Ye Yuan refined a type of medicinal pill for him called Sea Expanding Pill. It''s said to be able to help him breakthrough to Sea Transformation, and become a Quasi-Alchemy King!" Ren Yujie said again.


    Ren Xingchun looked at Ren Yujie and seriously did not know what he should say.


    The formidability of this grandson of his still greatly exceeded his expectations.


    No wonder Old Hai viewed Ye Yuan so importantly. Looks like Ye Yuan obtained some heaven-defying lucky chance and had already far surpassed the Endless World this small world.


    With Ren Xingchun''s strength and status, he could naturally discern what level Ye Yuan''s talent was at.


    At the very least, this Endless World''s standards was unable to groom such a freak.


    Like this, then Ye Yuan''s lucky chance could only be inherited from . . . the Divine Realm!


    Associating it to that exceptionally powerful woman around Ye Yuan again, it seemed like the various clues all pointed to the Divine Realm hazily.


    To lower realm martial artists, the Divine Realm was an extremely mysterious world. That place represented power and limitless possibilities.


    Only after a long time, did Ren Xingchun give a deep sigh and said, "I really didn''t think that Ye Hang and Hongling actually gave birth to such an amazing son! That . . . The matter of hosting a make-up wedding ceremony for them, have they agreed?"


    Ren Yujie recounted Ye Yuan''s words exactly as it was, leaving Ren Xingchun at a loss whether to cry or laugh.


    "This boy is really sharp! Looks like it was indeed not a coincidence that he could have today''s accomplishments! Forget it, forget it. As long as it can make this brat satisfied, I''ll throw out this old face! Yujie, you declare an announcement tomorrow. Say that I, Ren Xingchun, found my long-lost daughter, and I want to hold a make-up wedding for her. The entire city will celebrate together!"


    . . . . . .


    The next two days, this matter become the hottest topic in the entire city.


    Especially among the major factions, they placed immensely close attention to this matter.


    At the Alchemist Association, Dan Chenzi looked at Wu Xuan and said, "I really didn''t expect that Ye Yuan is actually Ren Xingchun that old fellow''s grandson! He really picked up a treasure! Looks like this Wu Fang City''s power arrangement will thoroughly change. Wu Xuan, your relationship with that Ye Yuan isn''t bad. You must maintain it well! This boy''s origin is definitely not simple. Presumably, he has countless intricate ties with the Divine Realm."


    Wu Xuan forced a smile and said, "I also didn''t think that Ye Yuan actually still had such an identity! But through these few days of interaction with him, I discovered that Ye Yuan is a person who differentiates kindness and grudges clearly. As long as our Alchemist Association doesn''t take the initiative to provoke him, he won''t have any ill intentions towards us."


    Dan Chenzi nodded and said, "It''s also thanks to Ye Yuan that I can finally refine the Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill! With this Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill, it can be assumed that the day of me ascending to the Divine Realm won''t be far off! I''ll start my closed-seclusion from tomorrow onwards. The matter of that wedding, it will be you making an appearance then. Remember to help me send a big gift over."

 536 Congratulatory Gif

    On this day, the City Lord Manor was decorated with lanterns and decorations, bustling with a jubilant air.


    Under Ren Xingchun''s overbearing nature, City Lord Manor had always been filled with a lifeless atmosphere. There wasn''t even a person who would dare to talk loudly.


    It had already been God knows how many years since this City Lord Manor was so crowded.


    The City Lord Manor''s entrance was crowded with people. Those watching the show and delivering congratulatory gifts practically blocked up the entire street in front of the entrance.


    "City Lord actually issued a self-admonishing edict! This is truly unprecedented!"


    "Yeah. City Lord has a paramount position, dictating the world. He had always been very domineering. This time, he actually issued a self-admonishing edict for the sake of his daughter and son-in-law. It really comes as a huge surprise!"


    "Heh, you aren''t aware yet, right? City Lord issuing a self-admonishing edict was not because of his daughter and son-in-law. It was because of his maternal grandson! There, it''s that young man receiving guests at the entrance!"


    "How did you know?"


    "My brother-in-law''s wife''s younger sister''s third aunt is a maidservant in City Lord Manor. This matter had long spread in the City Lord Manor! This grandson of City Lord is very formidable. I heard that he nearly overturned the Cao Family''s Thousand Query Wall! With City Lord accepting this grandson, the City Lord Manor''s strength will become even greater!"


    There were no walls without any cracks in this world. Moreover, Ren Xingchun did not plan on controlling these rumors this time. Hence, it slowly spread out from the City Lord Manor as well.


    Furthermore, broadcasting Ye Yuan''s reputation would only be more beneficial to the City Lord Manor.


    Today, Ye Yuan took the initiative to be together with Xu Zihui and took on the task of welcoming guests.


    For Father and Mother''s big wedding, him, as the son, naturally had to wait upon cautiously.


    "Alchemist Association, Elder Wu Xuan has arrived!"


    The voice had yet to fade, and Wu Xuan came forward to Ye Yuan with a big laugh. He said, "Younger Brother Ye, congratulations, congratulations!"


    "Haha! Elder Brother came really early! Quickly have a seat inside!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh too.


    "No rush to sit! No rush to sit! Younger Brother, today is your father''s joyous day! This congratulatory gift from Elder Brother can''t be missing! But this gift of mine is offering a present provided by somebody else. Younger Brother, please don''t get mad," Wu Xuan said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "What is Elder Brother saying here? You being able to come is already giving me tremendous face! How can I dare to get mad?"


    "Haha! Then that''s good! Young Brother, clear away all the wine at the main banquet! Change to mine!" Wu Xuan said with a mysterious smile.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that. Could it be that this old man fermented the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew so quickly?


    Wu Xuan saw Ye Yuan''s eyes and knew that the latter already guessed it. He immediately no longer held Ye Yuan in suspense. Extending a hand and waving, he said, "Come, men. Carry all of the wine inside!"


    A group of servants carried loads and walked out from the crowd. Ye Yuan''s eyes swept over. There were actually as many as 20 barrels!


    20 barrels of wine was nothing. But, 20 barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was sufficient to cause a stir throughout the entire Wu Fang City!


    These wooden barrels were all made from Southern Sandalwood. Although they were all sealed off, the fragrance overflowed, immediately intoxicating a stretch of people.


    "What alcohol is this? So fragrant!"


    "It''s already so fragrant without breaking the seal. If I can have a taste, I''d be willing to even die!"


    "Heh, ignorant and ill-informed much? I smell this alcohol fragrance, it must be that legendary Alchemy Sovereign, Fu Yunjing''s Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew! I had once smelled before the alcohol fragrance several hundred feet away. It made me reminiscence for several days!"


    "It''s actually Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew! My God! Isn''t this the fine wine that Alchemy Sovereign Fu Yunjing hoards? Why is there so many all at once? Furthermore . . . why would it be delivered by Master Wu Xuan?"


    "That, I don''t know! Moreover, I smell that this alcohol fragrance is actually even more aromatic than the last time. The quality of these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is probably even above the wine brewed by Alchemy Sovereign Fu Yunjing!"


    Twenty barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. It immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding crowd.


    The Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was very renowned in Wu Fang City. Many people had only heard of its name but never seen it. Being able to have the opportunity to smell the alcohol fragrance from far away once was already the good fortune of three lifetimes.


    But today, Wu Xuan brought out 20 barrels in one go. It was seriously too astonishing.


    Many martial artists were drooling ceaselessly, envious to death of those who could take a seat at the banquet and drink this wine.


    Ye Yuan saw the situation and could not help laughing in spite of himself and said, "Elder Brother is so ostentatious! Alright, then I''ll take it first. Thank you, Elder Brother!"


    "Haha! What''s still there to thank between us? Furthermore, I''m just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers here. I''m only responsible for providing the ingredients! Oh, right, I still have a congratulatory gift over here. It''s Chairman''s. He''s currently in closed-seclusion right now refining pills, so he can''t come here personally. But he made me bring his gratitude over!"


    Wu Xuan smiled and took out a long sword. Chilly air overflowed from it.


    Those onlooking martial artists could feel that oppressive freezing air separated by a distance of several hundred feet away. This was still under the circumstance where Wu Xuan did not use essence energy.


    Ye Yuan took over the long sword from Wu Xuan''s hands and praised, "Fine sword!"


    Wu Xuan said with a smile, "This sword''s name is called Xuanying Sword; it is a low-grade profound artifact."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with clasped hands, "Elder Brother help me thank Lord Chairman on my behalf when you return!"


    This congratulatory gift from Dan Chenzi was given to Ye Hang and wife in name. Actually, it was prepared for Ye Yuan.


    Profound artifacts were different from spirit artifacts; two entirely different concepts.


    Spirit artifacts that were any more expensive could also be bought on the market using essence crystals. However, profound artifacts had the demand but no supply. Even if you had plenty of essence crystals, it''s still very hard to buy them from some trading companies.


    Profound artifacts were basically all weapons used by Divine Traversing Realm experts. They were extremely rare in the Endless World.


    Dan Chenzi gave a low-grade profound artifact with his opening move. It could be said to be extravagant.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burden. Because he helped Dan Chenzi complete the Dragon Tiger Mighty Soul Pill!


    The value of this medicinal pill, others were unaware, but how could Ye Yuan not know?


    Accepting a profound artifact of his was already him suffering a loss.


    But Dan Chenzi being able to remember to give him a gift counted that he had the heart too.


    Furthermore, following the rise in Ye Yuan''s strength, Canghua Sword was already gradually becoming somewhat lacking. And Canghua Sword''s quality already reached the limit. If more restrictions were added, there was the risk of shattering.


    Although he was unable to unleash the full power of the Xuanying Sword right now, it was much more powerful than Canghua Sword.


    This was also just Ye Yuan. Taking another Sea Transformation Realm martial artist, they could only just use some high-level spirit artifact.


    But Ye Yuan''s martial techniques were overly heaven-defying. Ordinary spirit artifacts could not unleash the true power of his sword moves.


    Ye Yuan and Wu Xuan had some small talk for a while, then Wu Xuan went inside to take a seat.


    Before long, the servant called out once again, "Cao Family''s Family Head has arrived!"


    The expression on Cao Zheng''s face was rather dim. He saw Ye Yuan and forced a smile to congratulate, "Little Brother Ye, congratulations! Congratulations!"


    Arrivals were guests. Ye Yuan obviously would not reach his hand out to smack a smiling person. He replied with a smile, "Thank you very much."


    Ye Yuan knew that Cao Zheng did not spend these few days very well. But he did not care about it much either.


    Since Ren Xingchun was still technically his grandfather, Ye Yuan naturally had to lean towards the Ren Family. As for how the Cao Family would be, Ye Yuan was unconcerned.


    However, Ye Yuan knew that Cao Zheng definitely would not come empty-handed today. He had to at least show a little something.


    Indeed, Cao Zhen fished out a slip of paper from inside his sleeves and passed it to Ye Yuan, saying, "This old man slightly prepared a modest gift. I hope that Little Brother Ye can kindly accept it."


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out to take the slip of paper and could not help being slightly stunned.

 537 Opening a Forum and Giving a Sermon

    "The Cao Family''s big gift is rather weighty!" Ye Yuan looked at Cao Zheng and said with a half-smile.


    The corners of Cao Zheng''s mouth twitched, and he forced a smile as he said, "Little Brother Ye is too kind! Your father''s grand wedding, as a part of Wu Fang City, my Cao Family naturally have to prepare something presentable."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and passed the slip of paper to Xu Zihui and said, "Brother Zihui, I''m overwhelmed by this big gift from the Cao Family. You''d better present it to Old Master directly."


    Xu Zihui was rather baffled listening to the two people''s conversation earlier.


    The thing that Cao Zheng handed over seemed to be a contract. Was it possible that the City Lord Manor was directly giving business to City Lord Manor?


    Such a gift definitely could not be said to be simple.


    He received the contract from Ye Yuan''s hands doubtfully and gave it a brief glance. His entire person trembled involuntarily and almost threw the slip of paper away.


    Xu Zihui took a look at Cao Zheng and glanced at Ye Yuan again. The astonishment in his heart could not be any greater.


    What was in his hands was indeed a contract. Except that this contract was not some ordinary business from the Cao Family, but the Exquisite Jade Pavilion which was renowned throughout the entire Northern Domain!


    This was the Cao Family''s largest business. It was also the most profitable business!


    However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that inside the Exquisite Jade Pavilion had the Thousand Query Wall!


    The Thousand Query Wall''s significance to the Cao Family simply could not be converted using essence crystals!


    That was where the foundation of the Cao Family lied. It was also the foundation which the Cao Family relied on to survive!


    Without the Thousand Query Wall, the Cao Family was just an ordinary alchemy family too. They will be no different from the Ren Family.


    Moreover, without the Thousand Query Wall, it was simply impossible for the Cao Family to be City Lord''s match. They would be completely suppressed very soon.


    Was Cao Zheng''s brain damaged? Or else, why would he use this sort of thing for a congratulatory gift?


    "This . . . This . . ." Xu Zihui wanted to say something but did not know what he should say.


    Cao Zheng looked intently at Ye Yuan and suddenly turned around to say to everyone in a loud and clear voice, "Everybody, today, borrowing City Lord daughter''s grand wedding date, my Cao Family will be giving the Exquisite Jade Pavilion as a gift. From today onwards, Thousand Query Wall will be officially owned by City Lord Manor!"


    The flesh on Cao Zheng''s face was twitching. But he still said firmly, "Thousand Query Wall had never been the Cao Family''s Thousand Query Wall, but all of the Endless World''s alchemists'' Thousand Query Wall. The Cao Family had always treated the Thousand Query Wall as our private property. Truly an injustice to everyone! Wu Fang City being the Endless World''s alchemy holy land, the Thousand Query Wall ought to be managed by City Lord Manor!"


    Finished talking, Cao Zheng''s entire person seemed to have aged greatly.


    The Cao Family''s painstaking work for several thousand years, he gave it away with both hands just like this. This was a tremendous test to him.


    Even Ye Yuan did not expect that Cao Zheng would actually have such great breadth of spirit either, directly giving Exquisite Jade Pavilion to City Lord Manor.


    The Thousand Query Wall indeed did not post much of a challenge to Ye Yuan.


    But when Ye Yuan was challenging the Thousand Query Wall, he also deeply experienced the Thousand Query Wall''s prowess.


    Although he only answered the last twenty questions, not one of these twenty questions did not represent extremely high standards.


    The crystallization of the Endless World''s Alchemy Path powerhouses'' wisdom these several thousand years was absolutely not an undeserved reputation.


    Cao Zheng''s words shocked all the martial artists present until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    "What? The Cao Family can actually bear to hand the Thousand Query Wall to City Lord Manor! This . . . Just why is this?"


    "This is a major epoch event to the Endless World''s alchemy world! How is the Cao Family still going to compete with City Lord Manor without the Thousand Query Wall?"


    "This Cao Zheng isn''t an impersonator, right? This kind of thing mustn''t be joked around!"


    Everyone was speculating the intentions behind this action of Cao Zheng. But no one could have guessed that Cao Zheng was actually fearful of the youth in front of him!


    Although some people also guessed clues from Ye Yuan challenging the Thousand Query Wall, it was still very hard for them to link this kind of major thing to Ye Yuan.


    This was an insane move!


    What in the world was Cao Zheng afraid of?


    Cao Zheng had fought in the dark with Ren Xingchun for so long. How could he possibly make such a move?


    Ye Yuan glanced at Cao Zheng and was also slightly in admiration of his breadth of spirit.


    This kind of swift and opportune decisiveness was not what everybody could have.


    "Since Cao Family Head is so generous, my City Lord Manor naturally won''t be stingy either! From tomorrow onwards, I will open a forum and give a lecture in Exquisite Jade Pavilion for five consecutive days. As long as they are alchemists, they can come and listen to the lecture!" Ye Yuan suddenly said in a loud voice.


    "What? That young man wants to open a forum and give a lecture? Who is he? So arrogant!"


    "Are you kidding? That''s the City Lord''s grandson. He challenged twenty questions from the seventh level at the Thousand Query Wall a few days back. Moreover, all of them were answered correctly!"


    "No way, right? Looking at his age, he''s just 17 to 18 years old. How can he have such profound and deep alchemy knowledge?"


    "Heh, that, I don''t know! But you mustn''t underestimate him because of his young age! I heard a story that City Lord issuing a self-admonishing edict this time was because of this grandson of his! Perhaps . . . this action of the Cao Family is due to him too!"


    "This . . . How is this possible? A 17 year old youth can actually caused such earth-shattering impact?"


    "I only heard it. Up to you to believe it or not. But in my opinion, it''s not far off!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s words stirred up a great disturbance in the crowd. The Thousand Query Wall changed owners; the one opening a forum and giving a lecture was actually not the City Lord but his grandson!


    Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying performance mostly circulated around the Endless World''s upper echelons.


    And these ordinary martial artists'' and alchemists'' understanding of Ye Yuan was extremely limited.


    But one could also tell from the news that had spread out that this youth was absolutely out of the ordinary.


    It was just that opening a forum and giving a lecture was not something that normal people dared to do. Today, in front of so many people, Ye Yuan made such a promise. Did he have the ability to keep it?


    A minority of the people believed it. But the vast majority of the people did not believe this.


    A 17 years old youth saying to open a forum and give a lecture. This was simply a joke.


    Many people believed that Ye Yuan would definitely be replaced by the City Lord a few days later; the City Lord would be the one giving the lecture.


    The Thousand Query Wall changing owners and then the City Lord, His Excellency, coming forward to open a forum and give a lecture was something justifiable.


    Ye Yuan''s experience was too shallow and was simply incapable of suppressing the scene.


    The reason why Ye Yuan did this was naturally that he had his own ideas.


    Now that the Fierce Gale World was glaring at them like a ravenous tiger, to the Endless World''s alchemists, even if they could increase a tiny bit of strength, it was still good.


    Hence, he would rather waste five days to host a forum and give a lecture. Perhaps it might let some alchemists glean considerable gains?


    Furthermore, since the City Lord Manor took over the Thousand Query Wall, they had to at least have some indications, to let these alchemists submit wholeheartedly.


    Ye Yuan did not like Ren Xingchun that old man. But Ye Yuan still had another plan.


    The position of the next City Lord, he would accept it on Ye Hang''s behalf!


    With him around, Ye Hang would surely break through to Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years. There was nobody more suitable than him to take over Wu Fang City.


    Father had been nursing grievances for so many years. He got to at least hold his head up high!

 538 Everyone Presen

    Cao Zheng looked deeply at Ye Yuan and said with clasped hands, "Then I''ll have to trouble Little Brother Ye. Tomorrow, this Cao will definitely be there to listen to Little Brother Ye''s lecture!"


    Cao Zheng''s words were equivalent to tacitly acknowledging the reality of Ye Yuan opening a forum and giving a lecture.


    His attitude caused a stir in the crowd once again.


    With the Cao Family''s foundation, he was actually going to listen to Ye Yuan''s lecture!


    Those onlooking martial artists and alchemists all looked at Ye Yuan with amazed eyes.


    Right at this time, a servant called out loudly again, "Heavenly Martial Sect''s Old Ancestor Ning, Myriad Sword Sect''s Old Ancestor Qin, and Profound Ice Sect''s Old Ancestor Jing Xuan, has arrived!"


    "No way, right? The Three Sects'' old ancestors are actually all here! What kind of status do they have? To actually turn up personally for the City Lord''s daughter''s wedding event!"


    "Weren''t the three old ancestors all preparing the matters concerning the establishment of the alliance? To actually find time out of their busy schedule to attend the wedding!"


    "These three old ancestors aren''t here on account of City Lord''s grandson too, right?


    Ning Yixian trio''s arrival caused a commotion.


    Their identities were too high. Furthermore, when they were busy with official affairs, logically speaking, sending a Divine Traversing Realm expert from each sect over should be enough. No one could have thought that they would actually come here personally.


    At this time, many people were already guessing that these three people came for Ye Yuan too.


    "Hahaha! Younger Brother Ye, this old man came here to congratulate!"


    Qin Hongtao''s voice was like a great bell and actually had a very happy appearance. He grabbed hold of Ye Yuan''s arm and appeared very close.


    Ye Yuan was bewildered by this action of Qin Hongtao. He thought to himself if it was possible that this old man ate the wrong medicine?


    If Ning Yixian took this kind of action, he would not be too surprised. But Qin Hongtao still had a considerable grudge with him. How could he have such an attitude?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s dubious eyes, Ning Yixian explained with a smile, "Ever since Qin Yan returned from the Tranquil Cloud Sect trip, he reflected on the bitter lesson. A few days ago, he already broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm, becoming a Soul Sea Realm expert! After Qin Yan exited seclusion, he said that for him to be able to break through successfully this time, the person he was most grateful to was you! Huhu, for this matter, Old Man Qin even showed off in front of us for several days!"


    Ye Yuan came to understand only when he heard that. It was just that he never expected that Qin Yan would actually break through so quickly.


    From the Sea Transformation Realm to the Soul Sea Realm, there was an incredible barrier. It was the checkpoint of transitioning from the Lower Three Realms to the Middle Three Realms.


    Even for Qin Yan, these peerless heaven''s chosen, wanting to cross this hurdle required the accumulation of a very long period of time too.


    Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua, these three people were originally running neck to neck. To think that it was actually Qin Yan who strode out this step first.


    "Huhu, so that''s how it is! Then I''ll have to congratulate Old Ancestor Qin!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and congratulated.


    "Haha! Both of us together! Younger Brother Ye, don''t need to be courteous with me. In the future, call me Elder Brother as well will do. Your father and mother returning to their family clan and getting married blissfully. I, as the elder brother, have to come and congratulate no matter what. This Goose Plume Treasure Armor was used by me in my early days. It''s already infinitely close to a profound artifact," Qin Hongtao said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s heart was moved. Defensive spirit artifacts were extremely hard to come by and tend to be much greater in value compared to offensive ones.


    Although this Goose Plume Treasure Armor had not yet reached the level of a profound artifact, its value was already not beneath the Xuanying Sword which Dan Chenzi gifted.


    This Qin Hongtao making a move was rather extravagant.


    "You, this old man''s opening move is the Goose Plume Treasure Armor. Doesn''t that make it hard for the two of us? Fortunately, this old man, I, have preparations. Come, Ye Yuan. This is Earthcore Spirit Essence Milk. With your knowledge, you should know its value. It''s absolutely not beneath that Goose Plume Treasure Armor of Old Man Qin!" Ning Yixian said with a smile.


    "Ye Yuan, this is our Profound Ice Sect''s specialty product, Iceheart Tranquil Lotus. This lotus will only bloom once every hundred years. Even in my Profound Ice Sect, it''s an extremely rare object too," Jing Xuan said.


    When Ye Yuan saw this Iceheart Tranquil Lotus, he could not help becoming wildly ecstatic in his heart.


    He truly did not expect that the Iceheart Tranquil Lotus actually really existed in the Endless World!


    This Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was a Tier 5 item. To people who cultivated in ice-attribute cultivation laws, it was a greatly beneficial item.


    Even when swallowing it whole, it could also be comparable to ten years of bitter cultivation! To the Profound Ice Sect''s martial artists, it was absolutely an extremely precious spirit medicine.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not concerned by this.


    The reason why he was so elated was that this Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was a type of Tier 5 medicinal herb. It was also the mandatory material to refine the Tier 5 medicinal pill, Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill!


    This Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill was a miracle elixir to treat the chronic disease in Lu-er''s body!


    For such a long time, Lu-er had been staying inside Ye Yuan''s spatial spirit artifact all this while because she was unable to cultivate.


    But Ye Yuan''s current realm was unable to help Lu-er uproot the chronic disease. This had always been a worry for Ye Yuan.


    This Iceheart Tranquil Lotus was very seldom seen. Ye Yuan even thought that it probably could not be found in the Endless World. Who knew that it was acquired without any effort at all! This was actually the Profound Ice Sect''s specialty product!


    As long as Ye Yuan broke through to Divine Traversing Realm, refining this Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill would naturally be easily accomplished.


    Ye Yuan contained the joy in his heart and said to the three people with clasped hands, "Many thanks to three old ancestors! Elder Brother Wu Xuan prepared Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew for everybody! Three old ancestors, please head inside to have a taste!"


    Qin Hongtao''s eyes lit up, and he said in ecstasy, "I''ve drunk the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew once at Fu Yunjing''s place. Until now, it still brings back endless aftertastes. Didn''t expect that Wu Xuan that old fellow actually knows how to brew it too? Old Man Ning, Jing Xuan, hurry, hurry! I want to go and have a taste!"


    Ning Yixian had clearly heard of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew''s great name before. At this time, his alcohol addiction flared up too. He said goodbye to Ye Yuan and went inside with Jing Xuan.


    "Hahaha! Little Brother Ye, this old man came without an invitation. You mustn''t blame me!"


    Ye Yuan hurriedly went up to greet with clasped hands as he said with a smile, "What''s Old Hai saying here? You''re working hard for the common people in the world. How can Ye Yuan dare to blame you? Furthermore, my parents are just holding a make-up wedding. How can we dare to trouble Old Hai to grace us with your grand presence?"


    Qi Hai said with a laugh, "Even if I''m any busier, Little Brother Ye''s parents'' great event, I have to rush over too! Here, this is an Ancient Tiger Bone which I acquired some years back in the Endless Forest. I don''t have much use for it keeping it either. I''ll give it to you as a gift then!"


    Qi Hai''s voice had yet to fade when a streak of white light flashed past and snatched away the tiger bone from Qi Hai''s hands. It was precisely White Light.


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "White Light! Don''t be rude!"


    Qi Hai laughed and said, "Haha! No worries, no worries! This little white tiger of your is really smart. Presumably, this tiger bone is very useful to him."


    Qi Hai had seen before White Light around Ye Yuan long ago. He faintly sensed this little white tiger''s extraordinariness.


    If not for this, how could White Light possibly snatch away things from Qi Hai''s hands with his present strength?


    "Heh heh, Big Brother, I was too agitated just now! This tiger bone is very useful to me! I''ll accept it on your behalf!"


    As he said, White Light''s figure moved, vanishing from everyone''s sights.


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling wryly. This fellow was so impolite to his elders.


    Seeing that the time was almost right, Ye Yuan said to Qi Hai, "Old Hai, the auspicious hour is drawing near. I, as the son, can''t screw up my parent''s great event. Let''s go in!"

 539 Immense Popularity

    Wine cups clanged, and wine flowed freely in the main hall. The guests were already utterly conquered by the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew long ago.


    "Wu Xuan, just based on our friendship, you have got to give me a flask of this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew later. Oh, no, ten flasks!" By Wu Xuan''s side, a Divine Traversing Realm expert slung his arm around Wu Xuan.


    "Wu Xuan, our relationship is solid enough, right? If you give him ten flasks, I can''t get lesser than ten flasks no matter what, right?" said another person.


    Wu Xuan''s head was already long messed up by these fellows who tried to curry favor. Flinging his hand, he said, "Shoo shoo shoo! Do you all think that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is some jug wine by the roadside? With your ways of giving out, no matter how many I have, it will all be given away too! Telling you all honestly, this old man, I, only took these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew out for everybody to sample because today is Younger Brother Ye''s parents'' wedding day! After today huh, whoever wants it will have to splurge!"


    When Wu Xuan brewed the low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, he already anticipated today''s situation.


    He already discussed it with Ye Yuan to place this low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew onto the market to sell. It would definitely earn a hefty amount!


    Wu Xuan bringing these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew over today was naturally in order to boost Ye Yuan''s face. But it was not without the intention of promoting this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew either.


    Those who could enter the main hall today were all upper echelons in Wu Fang City. They were either wealthy or with connections.


    As soon as the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew rolled out into the market, only these people could afford it.


    Fu Yunjing''s Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew definitely had some parts omitted in the brewing process. Hence, the production output had always not been high.


    This was also the reason why Fu Yunjing cherished his own belongings all along.


    Wu Xuan cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Today, everybody could drink this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew all thanks to Younger Brother Ye Yuan. However, this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew wasn''t picked up from the streets. Just the materials expended in brewing the alcohol is a huge sum of money! After today, if everybody wishes to drink this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, you can go to Drunken Immortal Restaurant."


    With Wu Xuan saying this, everyone came to understand as well.


    Why, this Wu Xuan came today to cast a long line to cast a big fish!


    But those present were all respected figures. Regarding Wu Xuan''s way of doing things, there was no cause for much criticism.


    Such a delicious vintage wine like the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was naturally not what some lousy common street-ware could compare to.


    Yet, the most important thing was that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew could actually be mass produced!


    "Wu Xuan, you mean that . . . we can all drink such a delicious vintage wine any time in the future?"


    Wu Xuan smiled faintly and said, "That might not be the case! Such a vintage brew, the materials needed are extremely precious! Don''t look at how I brought so much here today. Actually, it already expended close to 20% of this old man''s assets! Therefore . . . although Drunken Immortal Restaurant will provide this wine all year round, it''s only limited to ten flasks per day! First come, first serve!"


    Everyone all drew a cold breath. Twenty barrels of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew actually cost Wu Xuan 20% of his assets!


    Wu Xuan as an Alchemy Sovereign expert, his assets definitely surpassed ordinary martial artists by a great deal!


    20% of his assets was absolutely a huge sum of wealth.


    One could see from this just how terrifying the expenditure to brew this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was!


    Originally, those who were still savoring it in large mouthfuls already could not bear to lift their cups now. This wine, drinking a mouthful was one lesser!


    Actually, Wu Xuan''s words had areas of exaggeration. He did indeed spend a huge sum of money on brewing this alcohol. But it was naturally impossible to be just twenty barrels.


    Furthermore, the most costly expenditure was not this low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, but it was the middle-grade.


    The middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was on an entirely different level from the low-grade.


    The low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that Wu Xuan brought here today was just half of what he brewed this time. And adding up the costs of these forty barrels of low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, it was not even half of the middle-grade.


    The middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was still in the process of brewing. But, the output was merely one barrel.


    Such an expenditure, even with Wu Xuan''s massive wealth, it was also somewhat unbearable.


    However, with the recipe that Ye Yuan gave, Wu Xuan''s future wealth could be predicted.


    Don''t look at how alchemists were all very rich. Actually, their expenditures were immense too.


    Following the increase in their strength, the expended essence crystals and medicinal herbs also soared exponentially.


    Hence, nobody would complain about having too much money.


    "Isn''t ten flasks too little? Wu Xuan, essence crystals are not an issue. This alcohol, I''ll reserve a barrel first. The next time it''s out, give it to our Zhang Family first, alright?" Wu Fang City''s Zhang Family Head yelled out.


    Wu Xuan shook his head and said, "Old Man Zhang, not that I, Wu Xuan, am miserly. The process of brewing this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew is extremely troublesome. There''s simply no way of providing a large supply. Otherwise, I wouldn''t limit it to ten flasks daily too. This old man indeed still has some remaining stock. But giving this inventory to you, the other families will shred me up!"


    With Wu Xuan saying this, there were immediately people from the other families who were indignant.


    "That''s right. Old Man Zhang, are you the only rich one? Our Sun Family can still afford this bit of essence crystals! You want a barrel, this father of yours wants ten barrels!"


    "The City Lord Manor hasn''t even spoken yet. What capabilities does your Zhang Family have to dare swallow a barrel all at once!"


    "In my opinion, it''s still Wu Xuan''s method that is good. Ten flasks daily. First come first serve. This way, it''s fair to everyone!"


    Seeing this scene, Wu Xuan was also secretly delighted in his heart.


    Actually, the low-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew really did not have many troublesome aspects. He originally also planned on selling barrel by barrel.


    But after he told his plans to Ye Yuan, it was denied by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s idea was very simple. An object was valued relative to its rarity!


    If it were supplied unlimitedly, when everybody drank a ton of it, this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would not be valuable anymore either.


    But if it was just supplying ten flasks a day, everyone could not drink to their heart''s content each time. Hence, they would all break their heads every day fighting to snatch those ten flasks of wine.


    In just a few days, these ten flasks of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would be raised to a sky-high price!


    This wine, ordinary people and factions simply could not drink it. At that time, it would become a symbol of identity and status.


    After waiting for a suitable time, Wu Xuan would then roll out the middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. That way, the middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would become a supreme level of immortal brew. Regardless of how the price was set, it would be up to Wu Xuan''s call.


    In a corner of the main hall, Fu Yunjing had a depressed look.


    Wu Xuan this old man pestered him daily in the past for the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. He himself put on a nonchalant appearance too.


    Finally, Wu Xuan paid a very large price before getting six flasks from his place.


    Who knew that in a twinkle, this old man produced Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew himself. Not only was the quality much better than his, but it could also actually be mass-produced!


    His opening move was twenty barrels! What a big play!


    Fu Yunjing himself sampled a mouthful earlier. The taste was indeed much better than his.


    Furthermore, he actually did not know that drinking the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew unexpectedly needed Southern Sandalwood to be the cup!


    Just where on earth did this old fellow learn it?


    How could Fu Yunjing not wish to mass-produce the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew? But, the success rate of his brewing was too low and simply had no way of satisfying the market demand.


    The source of income which landed in his hands was given away with both hands just like this. Fu Yunjing''s gloominess would be imagined.


    He picked up the wine cup and slowly walked towards Wu Xuan.

 540 Unyielding

    "Wu Xuan, I wish to ask you. Where did this recipe of yours come from?" Fu Yunjing inquired.


    Wu Xuan saw that it was Fu Yunjing and said, "This recipe . . . it was naturally taught by an expert. Fu Yunjing, what''s the meaning of you asking this?"


    "Heh, can it be that you still don''t know what the meaning of my words is? Everybody knows that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew''s recipe, only I have it. Isn''t you doing this too dishonest?" Fu Yunjing said with an unkind expression.


    Actually, Wu Xuan and Fu Yunjing still had some friendship between them. But it was still not that close. However, it was still because of this friendship that Wu Xuan was able to get Fu Yunjing''s wine after begging many times.


    But Wu Xuan''s actions now infringed upon Fu Yunjing''s interests. Fu Yunjing could not swallow this insult despite reconsidering repeatedly. That was why he came up to question.


    Once the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew could be mass-produced, that was cold, hard cash. Each drop would be extremely valuable.


    Fu Yunjing''s expenses for the sake of brewing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was rather dear too.


    Seeing his own Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew become worthless, he was seriously stifled in his heart.


    "Fu Yunjing, today is the City Lord Manor''s day of great joy. Must you cause trouble? My Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew doesn''t have anything to do with you. This point, people who have drunk the wine before should all be aware, right?" Wu Xuan said with a cold grunt.


    "Heh heh, actually, I''ve been researching on improving the brewing method of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew all along and finally managed to have some progress. Right at this juncture, your Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew actually appeared. Is there such a coincidental thing? Previously, you were at my place for roughly right around half a year''s time or so. But it''s just nice the time to brew these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew!" Fu Yunjing said with a cold smile.


    The meaning of these words was already very obvious. It was that Wu Xuan stole a peep at the results of his development and brewed the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew himself.


    Although Fu Yunjing was lying through his teeth, the reasoning was infallible, making many people look towards Wu Xuan in suspicion.


    Once this sort of thing was confirmed, Wu Xuan would no longer have the face to keep a foothold in Wu Fang City.


    But how could Wu Xuan be so easy to hoodwink? He said with a cold smile, "Not that you can''t slander me, but you have got to bring out the evidence, right? Your Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew clearly isn''t as good as mine. This point, as long as one knows their liquor, they can probably discern it, right? All talk without substance, aren''t you afraid of your teeth falling out by saying this?"


    Fu Yunjing said with a faint smile, "Huhu, I don''t have proof. I''m just very curious. Everybody in the city knows that my recipe was obtained from the Endless Forest; just this one copy in the entire Wu Fang City. Then . . . where did you get your recipe from? An expert? Hur hur, such words can only fool little children, right?"


    One had to admit that this Fu Yunjing was born with an eloquent tongue.


    Hearing his words, many people became even more skeptical towards Wu Xuan.


    This sort of thing like stealing formulas was held in extreme contempt, let alone that it was exposed on the spot by the original owner.


    "Yeah. I really didn''t think of this. Wu Xuan''s recipe wouldn''t really have been stolen from Fu Yunjing there, right?"


    "This recipe, Fu Yunjing has always kept it as a treasure. It''s impossible for people to know. Unless it''s really as Fu Yunjing said, Wu Xuan plagiarized it while he was not paying attention?"


    "Stolen things, just be satisfied with secretly brewing a few flasks to drink. To actually take it out to sell, isn''t this disgraceful?"


    Hearing some people''s whispering, Wu Xuan''s face became livid.


    Fear of incurring gossip!


    He was wholeheartedly focused on bringing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew out to make money but forgot that Fu Yunjing would make a false counter-charge.


    However, after today''s matter, Wu Xuan could also be considered to have a new understanding of Fu Yunjing.


    But Fu Yunjing said it as if it was true. This already aroused most people''s suspicions. How should he explain?


    Could it be that he had to compare formulas with him?


    That way, wouldn''t the recipe be divulged? How should he explain to Ye Yuan?


    Just as Wu Xuan caught in a difficult dilemma, Ye Yuan and Qi Hai entered the main hall.


    "This formula was given to him by this old man. What complaints do you have?" Qi Hai said in a slightly low voice.


    As a matter of fact, it had already been a while since they entered the main hall. Ye Yuan briefly recounted the event through voice transmission to invite him to come forward to uphold justice.


    Qi Hai did not have much hesitation and directly agreed.


    Ye Yuan occupied a 50% share in this business too. Fu Yunjing causing trouble here was directly spoiling his business. How could Ye Yuan turn a blind eye to it?


    Although Ye Yuan was very wealthy right now, as an alchemist himself, he was deeply aware of the importance of essence crystals this thing.


    In his previous life, if there weren''t the Medicine King Hall this colossal titan supporting, no matter how high his talent was, he would have no way of reaching that level too.


    Alchemist was an occupation which burned money.


    Wanting to refine a type of medicinal pill had to refine countless medicinal herbs to waste. The higher the rank of the medicinal herb, the greater the expenditure.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s success rate of refining medicinal pills was exceptionally high, with his current consumption speed, no matter how much essence crystals there were, it was also insufficient to use.


    Regardless which major faction it was, it was impossible to treat medicinal pills like candy to eat like him too.


    Putting aside whether or not one could bear the expenses, how could the average martial artist dare to swallow so many medicinal pills?


    Furthermore, the medicinal pills which Ye Yuan refined, the medicinal effects were all extremely tyrannical. They were on a completely different level from the Endless World''s medicinal pills.


    But Ye Yuan did not plan on coming forward himself. Firstly, he did not wish to overly expose himself. Secondly, he was young after all. The words he said might not be enough to convince everyone.


    Qi Hai stepping forward was naturally the most appropriate.


    With his status, who dared to say a word of no?


    Indeed, once Fu Yunjing saw Qi Hai speak, he could not help being alarmed inwardly.


    He never would have thought that the person behind Wu Xuan was actually Qi Hai. This time, he poked the hornet''s nest.


    "Ah! Turns out that it''s Old Hai''s recipe. I was still perplexed. Could this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew of Wu Xuan be pulled out of thin air? It''s just that I wonder where Old Hai obtained this recipe from?" Fu Yunjing still did not give up and asked sarcastically.


    In front of so many people, moreover, it was City Lord Manor''s great joyous day, he did not believe that Qi Hai dared to do anything to him.


    Qi Hai said with an icy look, "Does this old man still need to explain to you when doing things? Mm?"


    Fu Yunjing instantly felt a tremendous pressure coming at him head-on, crushing him until he could not catch his breath.


    He gritted his teeth and said obstinately, "Old Hai naturally doesn''t need to explain to me. But don''t you feel that suppressing people with force is inadequate to convince the masses? Justice lies in the hearts of people! Old Hai can kill me, but it''s hard to shut the mouths of everybody!"


    Qi Hai did not expect that this Fu Yunjing still had some backbone. Facing his pressure, he actually did not back down in the slightest.


    He could, of course, kill Fu Yunjing with one palm. But Wu Xuan would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.


    Fu Yunjing was precisely eyeing this point; that was why he dared to be so unyielding.


    Today was different than the time with Wu Rong. At that time, Qi Hai was standing on the standpoint of a righteous cause. Others did not dare to say much about killing people.


    Now, Fu Yunjing stirred up the situation. If Qi Hai really killed him, then Wu Xuan would ascertain the label of plagiarism and would also have no way of keeping a foothold in Wu Fang City in the future.


    For a moment, Qi Hai could not help being at the dilemma to advance or retreat.

 541 Instructing Secretly

    Ye Yuan also did not think that Fu Yunjing was so persistent, to actually dare to lock horns with Qi Hai.


    Fu Yunjing had also grabbed Qi Hai''s soft spot, making it rather hard for Qi Hai to do things.


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense moved and transmitted his voice to Qi Hai.


    Fu Yunjing saw the situation and knew that the two were transmitting voices through divine sense. His heart involuntarily pounded.


    But, on second thought, as long as Wu Xuan did not dare to publicize the formula, his words would have no weakness to exploit. And if Wu Xuan dared to make the recipe known, even though he would lose reputation, Wu Xuan would have no way of monopolizing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew either. The losses in between this would be huge.


    At this point, even if it harmed others without benefits, he had to push on as well.


    Asking him to swallow this insult, he was unable to do it.


    But not knowing why, the youth beside Qi Hai kept on giving him an unfathomable feel.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s voice transmission, Qi Hai''s eyes gradually lit up. Looking at Fu Yunjing, he said in an oppressive manner, "You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew''s formula. Then, do you know what you lack in your formula, resulting in the taste to be inferior to the one brewed by Wu Xuan?"


    Fu Yunjing was stupefied. He immediately said with a cold smile, "Hearing Old Hai''s meaning, you actually know my recipe? You''re . . . confessing everything without duress here!"


    Fu Yunjing''s words immediately caused a stir.


    Just as Fu Yunjing said, wasn''t Qi Hai confessing everything without being pressed here?


    Fu Yunjing''s formula, only he himself knew. How did Qi Hai know what Fu Yunjing''s recipe lacked?


    Between Qi Hai and Wu Xuan, there had to be someone who plagiarized Fu Yunjing''s formula.


    And between the two of them, everyone would naturally think that it was done by Wu Xuan, and Qi Hai was just stepping forward to defend Wu Xuan on account of Ye Yuan''s face.


    Qi Hai was not startled nor in panic as he said coolly, "That''s right. Last time, when I went to Wu Xuan''s place, he invited me to drink a flask of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that he got from you. I discerned that it was not right with one taste. As luck would have it, I had some research regarding this stuff. It''s just that I never had the time to make it. So, I gave the formula to Wu Xuan. This formula . . . came from the Divine Realm."


    Fu Yunjing already had a stance like a dead pig not being afraid of boiling water being scaling right now. He might as well act all the way shamelessly.


    Hearing Qi Hai said so, he said with a cold sneer, "I know that Old Hai has all kinds of connections with the Divine Realm. But I''m afraid that you''re thinking too simply by wanting to use ''Divine Realm'' these two words to shut everybody''s mouths, right? Hearing Old Hai''s words, you just drank a mouthful and then knew my formula inside-out. Isn''t this too laughable?"


    "Huhu, I''ll report the formula. You see if it''s correct."


    As he said, Qi Hai started to report the materials used to brew the wine one by one. Altogether there were actually a hundred over types.


    And Fu Yunjing''s expression became increasingly uglier along with Qi Hai''s reporting.


    The recipe that Qi Hai reported was actually the exact same as the one he obtained! Even the quantity used for these ingredients were not the slightest bit off; just like he saw the recipe with his own eyes.


    With this, even Fu Yunjing himself could not help somewhat doubting as well if Qi Hai and Wu Xuan really plagiarized his recipe.


    Of course, those with the same thinking as him was not in the minority. There were even some people already starting to whisper under their breaths.


    "Could Old Hai have really plagiarized Fu Yunjing''s recipe? You guys look at Fu Yunjing''s expression. What Old Hai said is definitely not far off the mark."


    "Yeah. What is Old Hai playing at here? Even if he really stole Fu Yunjing''s formula, he doesn''t need to go so far as to say it out so generously, right? Even though he''s a senior, doing so would destroy his reputation too!"


    "Isn''t Old Hai bullying people with his power here? Doing this is also too overboard!"


    Qi Hai''s strength was indeed formidable. But if he used his power to bully people like this, it was impossible for others to be convinced either.


    Other people did not dare to do anything to Qi Hai. But Wu Xuan''s reputation would be rotten in the future.


    After Qi Hai reported all of the ingredients, Fu Yunjing''s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    Qi Hai saying this was equivalent to making his recipe known to the public. In the future, he would have no way of using the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew to keep a foothold in this Wu Fang City anymore either.


    Even though he was already replaced by Wu Xuan now.


    "Heh heh, really didn''t expect that Old Hai''s face was actually so thick! Stole my formula and actually even admitted it swaggeringly! Truly shameless to the extreme!"


    Qi Hai said with a smile, "When did I admit that I stole your formula?"


    Fu Yunjing was stunned. Wasn''t he too shameless?


    Already at such an extent and still not admitting it?


    "Hearing what you said earlier, you''re admitting that the formula I said was correct? No need to deny. Other people are not fools either. They could tell long ago," Qi Hai still said coolly.


    Fu Yunjing''s expression became black, and he suddenly had a foreboding premonition.


    Indeed, Qi Hai continued, "You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew recipe. I wonder how did you improve it?"


    Fu Yunjing''s heart plummeted. Turns out that it was waiting here!


    "Heh, why do I have to tell you?" Fu Yunjing said, appearing tough outwardly, but timid inside.


    Qi Hai said, "I can tell you that in your recipe, five kinds of ingredients are missing. As long as you can say out the names of these five kinds of ingredients, Wu Xuan would naturally have plagiarized your formula. But if you can''t say it, then scram right now for this old man! Otherwise . . . don''t blame this old man for being impolite!"


    Fu Yunjing''s expression changed repeatedly. When did he really improve the formula?


    This Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, even in the Divine Realm, it was a top-grade immortal brew that not everyone could drink. If Fu Yunjing really had this capability, he would have long ascended to the Divine Realm. Why was there a need to fool around in this Wu Fang City still?


    But if he did not say a thing, wouldn''t it be admitting that he was finding fault for no reason?


    Heh, I''ll just casually report five kinds of ingredients. Could it be that you really dare to make the recipe known to all?


    Fu Yunjing snickered coldly inwardly and casually reported five kinds of materials. They were all ingredients frequently used in brewing alcohol. Listening to it seemed well-grounded and reasonable.


    Qi Hai gave a cold laugh and said, "Utter nonsense! Don''t know what you''re talking about! Truly shameless enough!"


    Fu Yunjing said delightedly, "Since Old Hai say that I''m uttering nonsense, then you say out those five kinds of materials!"


    "Don''t need five kinds. One is enough! In my recipe has Seven Star Grass. Seven Star Grass will become lilac color when coming into contact with Sulfur Flame Powder. Come, men! Go and retrieve some Sulfur Flame Powder over. One try, and it will be clear!" Qi Hai said coolly.


    Fu Yunjing was still cheerily confident earlier. But at this time, his face was deathly pale.


    Wu Fang City was the alchemy holy land. Many families present were all alchemy families. They were naturally not foreign to this Seven Star Grass.


    He never would have thought that Qi Hai pressed hard at every step; finally, it was actually using this sort of method to make him reveal his true colors!


    At this time, he could not resist turning his eyes towards Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing hatred.


    Fu Yunjing had never heard before that Qi Hai knew alchemy. He had never heard before that Qi Hai knew how to brew alcohol, let alone believe that Qi Hai could report out all of the ingredients just by sampling a taste of his wine!


    Earlier, Ye Yuan clearly said something to Qi Hai with voice transmission. Could it be that everything that Qi Hai said was this young man''s scheme?

 542 Insist on Not Accepting

    "Changed! Changed! It really changed!"


    "The Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew really has Seven Star Grass inside!"


    "Fu Yunjing is too much! To actually slander Wu Xuan like this! This fellow is really shameless!"


    . . . . . .


    Following placing a small amount of white colored powder into a cup of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, the originally clear liquor became lilac color very quickly.


    With this, just who caused a disturbance first was perfectly clear.


    Many people had a feeling of being duped and became indignant right away, cursing Fu Yunjing''s shamelessness.


    This fellow was clearly envious that Wu Xuan brewed better Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew than what he could. That was why he vilified Wu Xuan.


    What improve the formula! Utter bullshit!


    "What are you still standing there for? Could it be you still want this old man to invite you to leave? Get lost!" Qi Hai said coldly.


    If today wasn''t Ye Yuan''s parents'' joyous day, Qi Hai might have made a move and injured people.


    This fellow actually forced him into a very awkward situation earlier. If not for Ye Yuan instructing him secretly on how to break the deadlock, he would really be stuck today.


    Although Qi Hai was very easy-going, this did not mean that anyone could trample on his reputation.


    Although Fu Yunjing''s strength was decent, it was still lacking in front of Qi Hai, and he did not have the qualifications to pick a fight with him either.


    Being forced into a dilemma by such a person, the fury in Qi Hai''s heart could be imagined.


    The lie was exposed. Fu Yunjing naturally had no face to stay here anymore either. In truth, he already incurred public wrath today. In the future, he would probably have no way of even staying in this Wu Fang City.


    Fu Yunjing shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare and said with a cold snort, "Leave then leave! This old man admits to his bad luck today! Boy, we''ll wait and see! I, Fu Yunjing, will officially break away from Wu Fang City starting from today!"


    Leaving behind a few fierce words, Fu Yunjing flicked his sleeves grandly and hastened out of the entrance like fleeing.


    Seeing this scene, Qi Hai''s expression darkened slightly. He said to Ning Yixian, "Send people to keep an eye on this old punk. Today isn''t suited to get into a fight. After today passes, take good care of him for me!"


    "Yes, Old Hai!"


    Ning Yixian was also fooled by Fu Yunjing just now and even thought that Wu Xuan really stole the recipe.


    To talk about taking care of Fu Yunjing, he had no problems at all, nodding his head at once and consenting to this.


    Fu Yunjing was just an itinerant Alchemy Sovereign in Wu Fang City. Even though his strength was passable, he did not have too great of a background.


    In the past, he still had some status among Wu Fang City''s upper echelons relying on the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. But his actions today truly offended many people. Everybody naturally did not have much of a favorable impression towards him anymore either.


    "Alright, alright! The time is almost here. Don''t dampen everybody''s spirits because of a stinky bug like this. Fine wine and delicacies are ahead. Everyone best savors it to your heart''s content!" Qi Hai said coolly.


    With this reminder, everyone all came back to their senses as well.


    There was free Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew to savor today. There wouldn''t be this stall anymore after passing this village.


    While the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew which Wu Xuan brought here today was a lot, with so many people getting a share, there was actually not much left either.


    Hence, the more these people drank, the more they treasured it. The more they drank, they more they would reminisce the aftertaste.


    There were some people present who had drunk before Fu Yunjing''s Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. But this wine drank today was even more fragrant than his.


    Before long, Ren Yujie walked into the main hall and called out in a clear voice, "The auspicious hour has arrived! Please welcome, the City Lord, His Excellency!"


    Ren Xingchun walked out in slow strides. He walked to the highest seat of honor and took his seat.


    "Please welcome, the groom and the bride!"


    The groom Ye Hang, all dressed in red-robes, led Ren Hongling who was wearing phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes and walked out too.


    Next, was bowing to heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan looked at his blissful looking parents from below. A warm current brimmed in his heart too.


    Actually, in his mother''s heart, she still worried about this unreasonable father of hers. This point, Ye Yuan was naturally clear in his heart as somebody with two lifetimes. Otherwise, he would not give Ren Xingchun a chance either.


    With Ren Xingchun this backing, Ye Yuan could put his mind completely at ease when going out to make a break in the future.


    The remaining thing was to deal with the Fierce Gale World''s invasion.


    Ye Yuan kept feeling that the Fierce Gale World''s invasion had some areas which were not right. But he could never figure out what was wrong.


    This feeling of losing control made him very uncomfortable.


    But this kind of thing, unless Zhao Tianyin told him personally, otherwise, there was simply no way of knowing. Now, he could only just take it one step at a time too.


    The most important thing now was still to increase his strength as soon as possible. Only through his way could he have the strength to protect himself facing these Fierce Gale World''s experts.


    Even though his current strength far surpassed martial artists at the same rank, in front of a real expert in a true battle, he still could not take a single blow.


    Hence, Ye Yuan was still harboring considerable hope towards the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance this time.


    After the ceremony ended, Ren Xingchun suddenly got up and said in a clear voice, "Thank you all for coming to support. This Ren is endlessly grateful. Taking advantage of this joyous day today, this Ren still has something to announce."


    Ren Xingchun paused for a bit, glanced at Ye Yuan, and said, "This old man did a wrong thing back then. This matter, everybody is already aware. This old man won''t hide it from everyone either. Today, it''s all thanks to this grandson of mine that I was able to see the error of my ways and repent! Therefore, today, I want to appoint Ye Yuan as Wu Fang City''s Young Lord. I wonder what are everyone''s opinions?"


    Although City Lord Manor had the final say in Wu Fang City, the Ren Family was not the fixed city lord.


    Back then, the Cao Family dominated the city lord position for a very long time but was replaced by Ren Xingchun.


    Hence, for Ren Xingchun to want to appoint a young lord, it still needed to go through everyone''s approval.


    Ye Yuan, regardless whether was it talent or strength, there was probably not a single person who dared to say a word of objection.


    Ye Yuan being this young lord was naturally also getting what was deserved.


    "Ye Yuan is a young hero. He can naturally take on this great responsibility!"


    "I have no objections. City Lord, you make the call!"


    "This Cao represents the Cao Family and firmly endorses Young Lord Ye Yuan!"


    When Ren Xingchun''s words were spoken, everyone all clamored to respond.


    Seeing this scene, Ren Xingchun nodded his head slightly too and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, from now onwards, you''ll be . . ."


    "Hold on!" Ye Yuan extended a hand and interrupted Ren Xingchun''s words, saying, "This status of a young lord, I''m not interested!"


    Ren Xingchun''s face went black. Wasn''t this punk too uncivil?


    Wu Fang City''s Young Lord was an existence on the same level as the Three Sect''s head disciples. It was already the highest position among the Endless World''s junior generation.


    This boy actually refused!


    Could it be that this boy was still harboring hatred in his heart and wanted to make him look bad in front of everyone?


    How could he know that how could Ye Yuan settle on a puny little Wu Fang City Young Lord?


    Among the people present, probably only Qi Hai could slightly understand Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    But even he was unable to understand how great Ye Yuan''s horizons were either.


    "Not just me, Ren Dong that boy, I''m bringing away too!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    It was fine if this boy did not accept the position of City Lord himself, he actually forbid Ren Xingchun''s most favored grandson to be City Lord too.


    This time, it was really overboard!


    "Ye Yuan, this old man already issued a self-admonishing edict. You should understand what this means. Are you going to ruin my Ren Family''s future in front of so many people?"


    Rivers and mountains may be changed, but it''s hard to alter a man''s nature.


    Ye Yuan slapped his face in public. The fury in his heart could be imagined.

 543 The Road Underfoo

    Ye Yuan looked at Ren Xingchun, feeling very amused in his heart.


    If it were in the past, this old fellow would have long sent a palm howling over. But now, he was talking reason with him. It was also aggrieving enough.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have plans on changing his thinking.


    The vast sky allowed a bird to fly, and the wide sea allowed a fish to leap about. It was naturally impossible for him to stay in a tiny little Wu Fang City to be some young lord.


    "I have my own plans for the future. It''s impossible to keep on staying in Wu Fang City. And Ren Dong already acknowledged me as his master. I naturally have to guide him well. As for this young lord position, I can recommend a person to you," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ren Xingchun was rather curious. Apart from Ye Yuan and Ren Dong, who else had the capabilities to be qualified for this young lord position.


    "Say it."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze landed on Ye Hang, and he said with a smile, "Far away on the horizon, and yet right before your eyes!"


    Ye Hang was stupefied and pointed to himself and said, "Me? What kind of joke is this?!"


    Ren Xingchun''s expression darkened once more. This punk was purely making a laughing stock out of him!


    How much capabilities Ye Hang had that he could still not be aware of? If Ye Hang had this capability, why would he object to Ren Hongling being together with him so determinedly back then?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m not joking! Father, you don''t need to belittle yourself either. Within ten years, you can definitely surpass Old Man Ren!"


    Ye Yuan did not approve of Ren Xingchun up until now either, so he kept calling him Old Man Ren.


    Of course, Old Man Ren''s mind was completely not focused on this. He was currently burning with rage.


    This punk was getting more preposterous as he spoke!


    Ye Hang surpassing him within ten years? Wasn''t this a fantasy tale?


    "Ye Yuan! Messing around got to have a limit too! Even if you don''t acknowledge this old man, there isn''t a need to make this sort of joke in front of so many people either!" Ren Xingchun said furiously.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I already said, I''m not joking around! Like this, how about we make a bet? If Father is unable to surpass you within ten years, I''ll come back and be the Young Lord for you!"


    What Ye Yuan was implying was Ye Hang being the City Lord and not Young Lord!


    This sort of ''big talk,'' probably only Ye Yuan dared to say it.


    Actually, Ye Yuan naturally had full confidence in Ye Hang. He cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, these two cultivation methods. If he still could not break through to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years, then that would be unbelievable!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that Ye Hang''s talent was not bad.


    Back then, the reason why he was inferior to Ren Hongling was entirely that of family background and resources problem.


    Now that Ye Hang''s back was leaning on City Lord Manor this big tree, and he had the Divine Realm''s pinnacle level cultivation methods, cultivating to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years was absolutely as easy as turning over one''s hand.


    It was just that these people had no way of understanding.


    But Ye Yuan believed that before long, Ye Han''s improvement speed would leave everyone dumbfounded.


    "Fine! This old man will bet with you!" Ren Xingchun agreed without any hesitation.


    Ten years time was not considered long to him. He could totally wait.


    At that time, if Ye Hang did not have the qualifications, wouldn''t Ye Yuan still come back obediently to take over Wu Fang City?


    How could he know that how could Ye Yuan possibly stay in the Lower Realms for ten years?


    . . . . . .


    The next day, a high platform was built in the Exquisite Jade Pavilion''s Thousand Query Wall''s main hall.


    A youth was currently sitting upright solemnly, with the air of a great master.


    But all the people below the stage were older than him, looking rather incongruous.


    This sort of thing like hosting a forum and giving a lecture, without reaching a certain level, nobody dared to do it. Especially in Wu Fang City, the alchemy holy land.


    The level of the alchemists'' standards here practically assembled all of Endless World''s alchemy path elites.


    Without Alchemy Sovereign strength, how could the average person dare to open a forum and give a lecture?


    But Ye Yuan this Quasi-Alchemy King Realm youth actually did it.


    Even though Ye Yuan was at the height of his popularity right now in Wu Fang City, it was not enough. The people who came to watch him make a fool of himself today was actually not the minority.


    Ye Yuan was seriously too young. As the saying went: young people couldn''t be trusted with important tasks.


    Many people only heard rumors of the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level''s questions being answered by someone. But not many people believed it.


    Of course, among the people here today, there were many who were alchemists present on that day. They all witnessed Ye Yuan''s spectacular performance.


    Today was the first day the Ren Family took over the Thousand Query Wall. Many people were also skeptical about whether or not the Ren Family had the foundation to take over.


    Ye Yuan sat at the top very composedly, without the slightest hint of stage fright.


    In his previous life, he had opened forums and given lectures more than once. Regarding such spectacles, he was all too familiar. It was simply far from getting stage fright.


    Compared to his previous life, the levels of these people in front of him was seriously too low.


    One had to know that each time Ji Qingyun hosted a forum and gave a lecture in his previous life, there were even quite a number of Alchemy Emperor powerhouses who came upon hearing the news!


    Likewise, an Alchemy Emperor, Ye Yuan''s strength was much stronger compared to those people!


    Now, facing this small scene, it was simply child''s play to Ye Yuan.


    After everybody settled down, Ye Yuan''s first words made everyone''s glasses fall off.


    "The Alchemy Path and Martial Path are the same; they are also a kind of Great Dao! The direction of Dao is formed by accumulating it step by step! As the saying goes: without the accumulations of small steps, it''s impossible to walk and finish a journey of a thousand miles; without accumulating small, trickling streams, it''s unable to form a great sea. There is no lack of Quasi-Alchemy Kings, Alchemy Kings, and even Alchemy Sovereign experts among you all. But touch your heart and ask yourselves, this road underneath your foot, was it really walked properly? This first day today, what I''ll be narrating to you all is the refinement of Tier 1 medicinal pills!"


    "What did he say just now? At the start, hearing it was still quite interesting. But why did the style change as he spoke? With our strength, do we still need to listen to the refining methods of Tier 1 medicinal pills? Simply ludicrous!"


    "Yeah! What kind of bullshit hosting a forum and giving a lecture! Simply courting people''s favor by talking big to impress! City Lord Manor actually sent a small child here to host a forum and give a lecture. What a joke!"


    "Let''s leave, leave! We came all the way here; could it be to just listen to a child talk about refining Tier 1 medicinal pills? Isn''t this wasting time?!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately incurred everyone''s intense backlash.


    Even those who had seen before Ye Yuan''s spectacular performance were also very disappointed by Ye Yuan''s performance today.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan came prepared that day? That was why he was so mind-boggling?


    Today, in front of everyone, his true colors were revealed?


    Ye Yuan finished saying the first sentence, and there were already many people starting to walk out.


    Regardless of whether they were martial artists or alchemists, their eyes were forever looking up. There would never be anyone who would think much of martial artists lower rank than themselves.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was an exception.


    The way these people saw it, Tier 1 medicinal pills utterly did not even count as learning the rudiments. Was there still a need to pretend and host a forum to give a lecture?


    But the reason why Ye Yuan could have such great accomplishments in his previous life was that his foundation was laid down too solidly!


    Wait until his boundary became high; it was merely just piecing together the originally simple things.


    The refining methods which looked to be extremely unfathomable in other people''s eyes was very simple in Ye Yuan''s view.


    Ye Yuan did not bother with those people who left but continued to speak with fervor and confidence.


    Some people left, but some people reined in their impatience and stayed behind.


    And the expression on their faces also changed to become fervor from the initial disdain and finally became enthrallment.

 544 Master Ye

    High-rise buildings were raised from the ground up!


    For Ye Yuan to be able to reach Peak Alchemy Emperor Realm, it was absolutely not by chance.


    The sturdiness of his basic skills in alchemy could make everyone all perspire from embarrassment, let alone that the ones with the highest strength among these alchemists in front of him were Alchemy Sovereign?


    Ye Yuan''s elucidation explained profound theories in simple terms, making those alchemists all have a feeling of suddenly becoming enlightened.


    Only after these alchemists listened to his words did they know that their path all the way over here was like a large funnel.


    Leaking as they walked.


    Reaching their boundary now, they already missed God knows how many things.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s sermon, they wished that they could immediately go back to study Tier 1 medicinal pills, systems, and learn once more!


    With Ye Yuan''s realm, narrating these basic theories was enough to make these people glean considerable gains.


    In the beginning, it was still quite noisy inside the entire main hall.


    But later on, the entire main hall became perfectly silent. Only Ye Yuan''s voice was reverberating.


    Those alchemists, including Cao Zheng who came with the mood of attending the event, all became devout believers at this time.


    The faces of these people would reveal a ''so that''s how it is'' look every now and then.


    "Alright. The sermon today will end here. Now is the time to raise questions. I can answer ten of your questions. Starting now then."


    Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out. Only now, did the audience startle awake.


    Many people still had a look of recollecting the aftertaste. Evidently, they had not yet recovered from Ye Yuan''s sermon earlier.


    Only at this time, did they abruptly wake up. The one giving them a sermon was merely a 17 year old youth!


    How monstrous was this youth? To actually have such profound understanding of Tier 1 medicinal pills?


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s lecture earlier, the Herbal Compendium was simply like a child''s play; too shallow!


    They all could not understand how a 17 year old youth''s understanding of alchemy reached such a level.


    "Master Ye, I have a question to ask!"


    An Alchemy King was the first to react and was the first to raise his hand.


    And in his words, Ye Yuan already became ''Master Ye.''


    Seeing that Alchemy King raise his hand, everyone was lamenting with regret in their hearts that they missed such a precious opportunity to clarify their doubts.


    But they all secretly made up their minds to definitely be the first one to raise their hands next time!


    Ren Dong was already standing on the platform at this time, helping Ye Yuan to maintain order.


    He was listening to the lecture below the stage the entire time before this and also received considerable gains.


    These few days, he had been researching Tier 1 medicinal pills the entire time and had long trained the Greater Phaseless Art to the Legendary Realm under Ye Yuan''s guidance.


    Ren Dong felt that his understanding towards Tier 1 medicinal pills was already quite okay.


    But after hearing Ye Yuan''s talk today, he discovered that he seemed to have only touched the tip of the iceberg. Although these Tier 1 medicinal pills were simple, the things that he needed to studied in-depth were way too many.


    Standing on the platform at this time to help Ye Yuan maintain order and hearing these people call Master Ye one after the other, he had indescribable pride in his heart.


    This master of his was considered acknowledged correctly!


    Even though Ye Yuan was his cousin, the disparity between the two of them was too great.


    "It''s you then! Ask away!" Ren Dong said.


    But when that Alchemy King heard Ren Dong''s words, he became hesitant and actually did not open his mouth for a time.


    Ren Dong said unhappily, "Is there a question or not? If there isn''t, switch to somebody else! Master''s time is very precious! Where does he have the time to dawdle with you here?"


    Only then did the Alchemy King said hesitatingly, "Master Ye, my question concerns Tier 4 medicinal pills. I wonder . . ."


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Doesn''t matter. Ask away."


    This person was clearly afraid that he could not answer Tier 4 medicinal pills problems. Furthermore, the question asked was not too conforming with the contents of the sermon. Hence, he would appear hesitant.


    That Alchemy King was immediately overjoyed when he heard and said, "Master Ye, recently when I''ve been refining the Phoenix Flame Pill, I noticed a problem. When the Phoenix Cry Grass and Bamboo Filament Azure Yellow are together, they keep on being unable to fuse together perfectly. From there, it caused my pill refinement success rate and quality unable to improve. I tried countless ways but always failed to resolve this issue. Master Ye, please resolve my doubt."


    When this Alchemy King expert was raising his problem, he was like a student asking a teacher questions, very devoutly.


    But towards his attitude, nobody questioned it.


    Ye Yuan already used his broad and profound alchemy knowledge to subdue everyone.


    Among the people present, there were quite a few people who were among the group present when Ye Yuan challenged the Thousand Query Wall.


    Regarding whether or not Ye Yuan could answer an Alchemy King''s question, they were not worried in the slightest.


    Very uncoincidentally, this Alchemy King was not present the previous time. Hence, he was still somewhat doubtful about Ye Yuan''s ability.


    After all, even if a person researched more thoroughly into Tier 1 medicinal pills, it did not have the slightest thing to do with Tier 4 medicinal pills either.


    Ye Yuan said without any need to think, "The Phoenix Flame Grass and the Bamboo Filament Azure Yellow, their attributes clash. If you forcefully try to fuse them together, it naturally can''t do so perfectly. Each time you were refining the Phoenix Flame Pill, was there a feeling of losing control of the fire, the medicinal pill about to jump out of your palm, around 15 minutes before forming the pill?"


    The Alchemy King''s eyes lit up, and he nodded his head like a chicken pecking for rice as he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! It''s like that! Master Ye is really like a deity, to actually even know when my problem occurs as if you''ve seen it with your own eyes! May I ask Master, why is this so? Is there any way to resolve?"


    Seeing this scene, everyone all revealed looks of admiration.


    Ye Yuan was able to guess when this Alchemy King''s problem occurred when he was refining pills just based on his simple description. Moreover, even the timing was said so accurately. This was simply godly skill!


    Even Peak Alchemy Sovereign experts probably had no way of making such a judgment under the circumstance where they did not witness personally, right?


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Is there a type of medicinal herb in the Phoenix Flame Pill called the Wood Immortal Root? Presumably, when you were refining pills, you should have overlooked its existence, right?"


    The Alchemy King was stunned and said with a nod, "Master, please explain! Could it be that this Wood Immortal Root still has some special effect? I''ve also thought before in this direction, but after trying several times, I still can''t resolve the issue. So I thought that this Wood Immortal Root completely had no use."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The forming of a pill formula is through repeatedly tempering. Each type of pill formula is the crystallization of the predecessors'' wisdom. As long as the pill formula doesn''t have mistakes, how can the medicinal herbs inside be useless? Refining the Phoenix Flame Pill, this Wood Immortal Root''s effect is indeed not big. But to want to refine high quality Phoenix Flame Pill, this Wood Immortal Root''s effect is indispensable . . ."


    Ye Yuan spoke with fervor and assurance, saying the refining method of this Wood Immortal Root detailedly once.


    That Alchemy King became more excited as he listened. Towards the end, he was simply about to jump up.


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, that Alchemy King bowed almost to the ground. He exclaimed, "Thankful for Master Ye''s guidance! Yan Mu will remember firmly in my heart!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Next one."


    "Master, I have questions."


    "Master Ye, I have questions too!"


    "Master, there''s still me."


    "Me!"


    ". . . . . ."

 545 Alchemy Gods Reincarnation

    "You still have the time to drink alcohol here? Master Ye''s lecture is about to start right away! If you still don''t go, there won''t be any seat anymore!"


    "Master Ye? Who''s that?"


    That person looked at the other party with eyes like he was looking at an alien, with a face full of contempt.


    "You don''t even know who Master Ye is? He''s City Lord Manor''s grandson, Ye Yuan, Master Ye! Master Ye''s hosting a forum and giving lectures for five consecutive days at the Thousand Query Wall to answer any doubts. Once you pass this village, there won''t be this temple anymore!"


    "Ah? It''s that grandson of the City Lord, His Excellency, that just got recently acknowledged? Isn''t he just a teenager? How can he host a forum and give lectures?"


    "I say, what have you been busy with these few days? Master Ye''s lectures have already swept throughout the entire Wu Fang City! You actually don''t know?! Master Ye is simply like the reincarnation of an Alchemy God! If one can get Master Ye''s guidance, it beats 10 years of bitter cultivation! Now, even Alchemy Sovereign experts have started posing questions to Master Ye too!"


    "Hiss . . . A teenage youth guiding Alchemy Sovereigns? Oh my, heaven . . ."


    "Forget it, I can''t be bothered with you. You continue to idle away here then. I''m going to the Exquisite Jade Pavilion!"


    As he said, that person left like a gust of wind.


    Today was already the fifth day, the last day, that Ye Yuan was hosting a forum and giving a lecture. During the previous four days, Ye Yuan''s reputation already resounded throughout the entire Wu Fang City.


    Master Ye''s name was practically already a household name in Wu Fang City.


    As long as one was an alchemist, regardless whether was it a little Alchemy Apprentice, Alchemy Master, or even a high and lofty Alchemy Sovereign expert, they all took pride in getting Master Ye''s guidance.


    The Thousand Query Wall''s main hall was already close to bursting. Every time it reached this time, the inside would be densely packed with practically full of people.


    Wu Fang City''s Alchemy Path was extremely flourishing. The number of alchemists in the city was immense.


    Yet, these few days, every time it reached the time Ye Yuan was hosting a forum and giving a lecture, the streets inside the city were practically deserted.


    The originally extremely bustling markets actually had nobody patronizing anymore.


    After the first time, those alchemists who stayed behind to listen to the talk all became Ye Yuan''s loyal followers one by one. They all started to propagate Master Ye''s name without sparing any effort.


    On the second day, the headcount in Exquisite Jade Pavilion already soared. It was actually ten times of the previous day''s.


    But among these people, the majority was still harboring half-skeptical attitudes to come and take a look.


    Ye Yuan carried on as before. What he talked about was all some very basic stuff.


    But after the second day, none among these alchemists doubted Ye Yuan''s strength anymore.


    Just like this, spreading from person to person, by the time it was the third day, Ye Yuan hosting a forum and giving a lecture already swept throughout the entire Wu Fang City.


    Now, even those Alchemy Sovereign experts in the city came due to its fame as well.


    Among them included Wu Xuan, Cao Zheng, these people.


    Only until today did Cao Zheng know how brilliant this decision of presenting the Exquisite Jade Pavilion to the City Lord Manor was.


    With Ye Yuan around, the Thousand Query Wall was simply a joke!


    In these few days, there were many formidable people raising all manners of questions to Ye Yuan.


    Yet, regardless whether their strength was high or low, how crafty the questions asked was, Ye Yuan''s answer was undeniably accurate and detailed, leaving no fault for people to pick out at all.


    This prowess simply exceeded the people''s imaginations.


    Even Dan Chenzi and Ren Xingchun could not possibly do it to such an extent either.


    Most importantly was that when Ye Yuan answered these questions, it was practically blurted out without any effort as if it did not require any thinking process at all.


    In the views of these alchemists, this already reached a god-like realm.


    These alchemists simply did not know what the concept of an Alchemy God was. Just like this, the title of ''Alchemy God''s reincarnation'' was attached to Ye Yuan.


    Actually, to them, Ye Yuan was indeed a god-like existence.


    At least in alchemy, the level Ye Yuan surpassed them simply could not be measured using realms.


    Regarding unknown existences, people tend to be willing to throw ''god'' this title on top.


    Ye Yuan''s present situation was like so.


    "Alright. Everybody quiet down," Ye Yuan''s voice spread out faintly.


    This instant, it was as if the entire world''s sounds was voided. The great hall that could accommodate 100 thousand people suddenly became dead silent.


    Everyone held their breaths, fearful of missing out any word that Ye Yuan uttered.


    "What we''re going to talk about today is . . ."


    Ye Yuan started today''s lecture unhurriedly. In the entire main hall, only Ye Yuan''s voice was echoing still.


    Originally, there were only several thousand people. Being able to maintain silence was very easy.


    But now, the number of people already broke through to 100 thousand people. To still be able to maintain this kind of status, it could be seen how great the attraction of Ye Yuan''s lecture contents was to them!


    Same as the previous few days, Ye Yuan''s talk was still just some of the most basic stuff.


    These contents, those alchemists themselves were already familiar until they could not be any more familiar. But Ye Yuan talked for five consecutive days, and they still listened with great gusto.


    The same kind of medicinal herbs, the same kind of refining methods, Ye Yuan''s narration was entirely different from their understanding.


    Not only did it uttered out new meanings, it even showed them heights and depths in alchemy.


    There was no lack of alchemists present who were here from day one. After they went back, they refined medicinal pills according to Ye Yuan''s method too.


    They discovered to their amazement that some of the very simple things Ye Yuan talked about, even when applied to refining high tier medicinal pills, was similarly applicable!


    The quality of the medicinal pills they refined had a considerable raise!


    This was also the reason why they held Ye Yuan in increasingly greater esteem.


    The contents Ye Yuan narrated today were a lot, talking all the way from morning till dusk, before it finally ended.


    "Alright. The lecture ends here. The Thousand Query Wall will be opened as usual from hereafter. If everyone has any question, you can come here to pose them," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Only now, did everyone realize that the five days of lectures had already passed. Ye Yuan would not be giving lectures to everybody anymore.


    "Master Ye, can you please expound to us for another three days! No, even just one day is fine as well!"


    "Yeah, Master Ye! Listening to your talks these few days, I''ve gotten considerable gains. It simply beats closed-seclusion for ten years! I beseech you, just lecture for one more day!"


    "Master Ye, just talk some more!"


    . . . . . .


    Ren Dong was indignant at this time. He stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "You all stop kicking up a row! Master he has to cultivate too! How can he possibly spend the whole day on giving you all talks? You people make him add one more day today, are you still going to make him add another day tomorrow? Like this, when will it end?"


    Following Ye Yuan''s status rising, Ren Dong this apprentice also became an immensely popular figure in Wu Fang City.


    In a daze, Ren Dong had a feeling of being apprenticed to a sage.


    This feeling of lording above countless lives was what he simply had no way of experiencing when he was City Lord Manor''s Young Lord in the past.


    Now, thanks to his new identity, Ren Dong instead had the liberating feeling of flying in the vast skies.


    Being rebuked by Ren Dong like this, there was actually not a single person in the crowd below the stage who dared to refute.


    But they still looked at Ye Yuan with heated eyes, hoping that he could change his decision.


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, "It''s not that I''m unwilling to continue giving lectures. I''ll be heading to the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm tomorrow to challenge the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance. I seriously can''t do anything about this."

 546 Monopoly

    Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to challenge the Vast Heaven Pagoda, the originally clamoring shouting voices gradually ceased.


    It was true. Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Path strength was indeed formidable. But his boundary was too low after all.


    If they delayed Master Ye''s cultivation for more lectures, then that would be too sinful.


    Master Ye was destined to be a sky-rocking figure in the future. How could he possibly waste time here to give talks to them constantly?


    But a series of lamenting still sounded out in the crowd. They were clearly all very regretful.


    At this time, a person suddenly shouted in a clear voice, "Master Ye, Yan Mu is willing to wait upon you carefully. Even if it''s just to be a little medicine boy. Master Ye, please grant my wish!"


    Looking carefully, it was precisely that Alchemy King who was the first to pose a question to Ye Yuan on the first day.


    This Yan Mu was a peak Alchemy King expert. Among so many alchemists here, he was an extremely daunting existence too. He actually requested to be a little medicine boy for Ye Yuan. It was truly rather ludicrous.


    Yet, not a single one out of the 100 thousand alchemists present felt that it was unexpected as if it was something so natural.


    But Yan Mu''s actions also reminded everyone. For a time, many people followed him to do so.


    "Master Ye, I''m willing to slave for you as well!"


    "My skin is solid and thick and can take lugging. Master Ye, please take me in!"


    "I''m willing to be a bed-warmer little maid for Master Ye! Master Ye, please take me in!" shouted a female alchemist shrilly.


    This woman already reached middle-age but had some good looks.


    Except that her saying this incurred a bout of loud laughter.


    "Hahaha! Old Hag Ding, you''re too old to even be Master Ye''s grandmother. To actually still want to be his bed-warming maid!"


    "Even if this old lady is any older, I''m a woman too! Moreover, I''m a woman who ages pretty well! Master Ye is full of vigor and vitality and is clearly still a virgin boy. He just needs a maid like me to warm his bed! How can those little girls wait upon him be better than me?"


    This old lady Ding had no qualms and restrictions at all, daring to say anything.


    Ye Yuan also sweat profusely in his heart when he heard it. Finding such a bed-warming lass, he could not endure it.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Everybody''s good intentions, this Ye appreciates it. But this Ye is not used to being served by people. This matter of a medicine boy, better forget about it. Now that a formidable enemy lies ahead, it''s precisely the time for everyone to render your services. This Ye hosted a forum to give sermons in order to raise everybody''s strength. If everyone has the heart, you can join the City Lord Manor and offer help for the Endless Alliance. Since everybody regards this Ye highly, this Ye can promise everybody that each time this Ye returns to Wu Fang City next time, I''ll host a forum and give a lecture once. As for the time gap, this Ye dare not guarantee."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, these alchemists could not help feeling disappointed.


    But many people also secretly made up their minds to definitely join the City Lord Manor tomorrow. At least this way, they could be a little closer to Master Ye. Perhaps there might be the opportunity to consult Master Ye on problems.


    Ye Yuan''s requirement towards accepting disciples was extremely high. Although there were some among these people whose talents were not bad, it was still too far away from Ye Yuan''s requirement.


    Wanting to become Ye Yuan''s disciple, one at the bare minimum had to reach Xiao Ruyan''s and Ren Dong''s level.


    With these people''s talent, they were clearly not just a level inferior.


    Among these people, just the Alchemy King experts were a large bunch. But the accomplishments of the vast majority among them would halt here.


    Such strength, how could Ye Yuan possibly expend painstaking effort on them?


    But Ye Yuan not needing them did not mean that the City Lord Manor did not require them.


    His old man was now the City Lord Manor''s Young Lord. He was bound to inherit Wu Fang City in the future. Ye Yuan naturally have to gather some forces for Ye Hang.


    One could only imagine that the City Lord Manor''s door''s bottom frame would be trampled broken tomorrow.


    In the past, the Cao Family could use the Thousand Query Wall to gather alchemists. Now, Ye Yuan''s status actually already surpassed the status of the Thousand Query Wall.


    After all, no matter how strong the Thousand Query Wall was, it had no way of letting 100 thousand people''s strength increase either. But Ye Yuan accomplished this.


    After these alchemists listened to five days of his lectures, their strength more or less had some improvement.


    One individual''s strength increase might not have much use. But 100 thousand alchemists'' strength all increasing, this was a very terrifying force.


    In the crowd, Cao Zheng gave a melancholic sigh. He said, "With this boy around, there is no longer the chance for my Cao Family to rise up within a thousand years! After this, Wu Fang City will be monopolized by the Ren Family! But offering the Thousand Query Wall to the Ren Family was the most correct thing that this old man did! This boy''s alchemy strength is too terrifying. He definitely had some staggering fortuitous encounter!"


    "Father, after today, I plan to enter closed-seclusion for a period of time. My gains these few days have been considerable. Ye Yuan''s lectures opened up a brand new Alchemy Path for me. After the seclusion this time, I''ll definitely have breakthroughs!" Cao Kun said.


    Cao Zheng''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Good, good! Kun-er, whether or not my Cao Family can persist, will be up to you! As long as you can break through to become a peak Alchemy Sovereign, you can definitely protect my Cao Family''s legacy for a thousand years! Of course, the prerequisite is not to have conflicts with the City Lord Manor, understood?"


    Cao Kun nodded and said, "Father, rest assured. Your child has engraved the matter in his heart. For as long as your child lives, I absolutely won''t have any hint of conflict with the Ren Family! Furthermore, I have a feeling that Ye Yuan insisting on rejecting the position of Young Lord, his father Ye Hang''s, future accomplishments definitely won''t be beneath mine!"


    "En? You have this feeling too? This boy seems to be impulsive when doing things. Actually, in the end, you''ll discover that everything is within his grasp! That Ye Hang''s age is still much younger than yours. His potential isn''t exhausted yet. How his future accomplishments will be is really hard to say!" Cao Zheng said with a grim expression.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan stirred up a storm in the entire Wu Fang City these few days. The astonished ones were not just those alchemists. The shock in Ren Xingchun''s heart was not the slightest bit lesser than the others.


    He thought over and over again and still decided to come and find Ye Hang to inquire about Ye Yuan''s affairs.


    "Honorable Son-in-Law, did Ye Yuan he . . . have some lucky encounter before?"


    After talking aimlessly for a long time, Ren Xingchun finally turned the topic to Ye Yuan.


    But his form of address towards Ye Hang had already unknowingly changed into ''Honorable Son-in-Law.''


    Ye Hang was a clever man too. He obviously knew that his position today was all given to him by Ye Yuan.


    But there was no logic of a father being jealous of his son in this world. His son being promising, he was more than happy.


    As for Ren Xingchun''s change in attitude, Ye Hang was naturally happy to see it.


    Wasn''t the reason why he came back to Wu Fang City for the sake of this situation today? It was just that Ye Hang never expected that the one who helped him to fulfill his wish was not himself but his son.


    However, Ye Hang secretly resolved his heart too, to definitely cultivate well from now on. He must break through to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years.


    Otherwise, he would become Wu Fang City''s biggest joke.


    "Lord Father-in-Law, Ye Yuan he told me before that he once obtained a pinnacle major power''s legacy in his dream before! I originally thought that he just obtained the Northern Domain''s, a certain major power like Father-in-law''s inheritance. I even suspected for a period of time that it was Lord Father-in-law yourself. But looking at it now, it''s probably not that simple," Ye Hang said.


    Ren Xingchun''s eyes glimmered, and he said solemnly, "Looks like Ye Yuan''s fortuitous encounter already surpassed the Endless World this small world!"

 547 Vast Heaven Pagoda

    "Lord Father-in-Law''s meaning is . . . the Divine Realm?"


    Even though Ye Hang already had surmises it long ago, it still felt immensely heavy to say out these two words.


    His own son actually obtained the inheritance of a Divine Realm major power. This lucky encounter was sufficiently heaven-defying!


    However, thinking about his son rising up from the tiny little State of Qin, probably only such an explanation made sense too.


    Ren Xingchun nodded his head and said with a solemn expression, "In my view, that powerhouse who taught in the dream is likely an extremely formidable existence in the Divine Realm too! Ye Yuan''s alchemy level is not just as simple as surpassing Alchemy Sovereign!"


    Ye Hang was slightly apprehensive in his heart. How powerful was extremely formidable, he really could not gauge.


    In Ye Hang''s view, Ren Xingchun was already powerful until it made people feel suffocated. How powerful did that Divine Realm major power''s strength have to be?


    The interactions between small worlds and the Divine Realm was too little. The Lower Realms simply had no way to obtain the Divine Realm''s news.


    The more this was so, the more the Lower Realm martial artists felt that the Divine Realm was incomparably mysterious.


    But it was indisputable that the strength of those Divine Realm major powers was totally not what they could imagine.


    "About Old Hai''s evaluation of Ye Yuan being so high, it is most likely he''s eyeing that major power behind Ye Yuan too. Otherwise, with his boundary, even if Ye Yuan was any more talented, it''s also impossible to address him as brothers."


    Ren Xingchun was no fool. After knowing Ye Yuan''s details, he was not far off from Qi Hai''s thinking as well.


    Ye Hang was not concerned about these though. As long as Ye Yuan could be safe and sound, he would be satisfied.


    Of course, his son becoming a Divine Realm major power''s successor, Ye Hang was naturally very proud.


    His son was so outstanding. Ye Hang as a father naturally could not lose face for his son either. At the very least, he had to stand at the pinnacle of this Endless World!


    And now, Ye Hang finally knew how heaven-defying the two cultivation methods Ye Yuan imparted him was.


    That was absolutely the Divine Realm''s powerful cultivation methods. If he still could not reach the pinnacle with a treasure mountain, then that would be too useless.


    "This matter, the lesser people know, the better. Or else, I''m afraid there will be people with ill-intent towards him. But I reckon that those few old fellows from the Three Sects more or less have some conjectures. It''s just that they don''t dare to confirm it. Tomorrow, I''ll personally bring Ye Yuan to Vast Heaven Mystic Realm. The City Lord Manor''s affairs will be passed to Yujie and you," Ren Xingchun said.


    Ye Hang nodded his head and said, "Lord Father-in-Law, rest assured. Ye Hang knows what to do."


    . . . . . .


    The next day early morning, Ye Yuan bid farewell to his parents and headed for the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm with Ren Xingchun.


    In the past, this Vast Heaven Mystic Realm was monopolized by the Three Sects. Even Wu Fang City did not dare to stick their fingers in.


    But this time, the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm was opened up to everybody. It let those martial artists who originally did not see hope have the chance to advance shoulder to shoulder with the geniuses.


    And this time, Wu Fang City''s young talents, including Ren Dong and Cao Fang, had the qualifications to join in too.


    The Vast Heaven Mystic Realm was at a place adjacent to the Three Sect''s forces. There was still a considerable distance away from Wu Fang City.


    But Ren Xingchun rode on a profound artifact ranking spirit boat and only used three days to reach.


    The Vast Heaven Mystic Realm had long already become an item kept in the Three Sects'' bags. Hence, there was completely no danger in here.


    By the time Ye Yuan''s party arrived, there were already several hundred people waiting in the mystic realm.


    Each time Vast Heaven Pagoda opened, there were merely 300 slots.


    Actually, each time it opened, the slots of the Three Sects were all not used up. Only this time, did the Three Sects fill the slots to the brim, which was also 300 people.


    This time, the Three Sects opened up the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Many of the itinerant cultivators who fulfilled the conditions naturally did not wish to miss it either. The Three Sects underwent a round of screening and selected 50 itinerant cultivators who fit the requirements.


    The various Northern Domain major factions excluding the Three Sects also picked 100 genius martial artists. Ye Yuan and the others, their names were naturally among the 100 too.


    The remainder 150 slots, the Three Sects had 50 people each.


    Counting it, it was actually still the Three Sects that occupied the absolute position.


    But this could not be blamed on them either. Who asked the Three Sects'' might to be the greatest in the entire Endless World?


    To be able to enter the mystic realm was already the greatest grace to other people.


    Upon entering the mystic realm, Ye Yuan saw a huge pagoda far away, towering and grandiose.


    Such a great distance away and Ye Yuan could clearly sense the archaic and mysterious aura coming from the pagoda.


    Ye Yuan was slightly apprehensive in his heart. This Vast Heaven Pagoda was absolutely not ordinary!


    It was just uncertain what on earth was inside this inheritance, to actually be able to let Lu Linfeng that old punk reach such a boundary!


    Ren Xingchun seemed to have perceived Ye Yuan''s puzzlement and explained, "Nobody knows this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s origins. It was if before this Endless World formed, it was already standing here. For close to ten thousand years, this Vast Heaven Pagoda has experienced several dozen factions, but it ultimately stood firm and immovable. For close to ten thousand years, the talented martial artists who entered inside were as many as several hundred thousand. But just a mere one individual could make it to the eighth level! And the vast majority of the martial artists can''t even make it past the fifth level! However, just by completing the fifth level one can already obtain unimaginable benefits."


    Ye Yuan became interested when he heard and asked, "Oh? What kind of benefits are there?"


    "Cultivation methods, martial techniques, medicinal pills, weapons, so on and so forth. The more levels passed, the more generous the rewards obtained. The martial techniques obtained from Vast Heaven Pagoda, even if it''s just a Tier 1 martial technique, are all very heaven-defying! After cultivating them, it''s virtually sweeping across those of the same rank!" Ren Xingchun said.


    These things, Ye Yuan actually paid no attention to it. His cultivation methods and martial techniques are already sufficiently heaven-defying. Without the need for the cultivation methods and martial techniques inside, he could also full well sweep across those of the same rank.


    "Apart from this?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s reaction, Ren Xingchun was not surprised. He was aware of Ye Yuan''s strength. These things simply had no attraction to him.


    "Concept comprehension!" Ren Xingchun said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. "En? How so?"


    "What the specifics are like, I have no knowledge as well. But I know that any martial artist who make it past the fifth level and entered the sixth level virtually all ascended to the Divine Realm later! But in these recent thousand years, there has yet to be anyone who made it to the sixth level. There are quite a number of people who made it to the fifth level though. But they ultimately still failed on the verge of success. These recent hundred years, there''s not even a single person who made it to the fourth level!" Ren Xingchun said with a bitter smile.


    The Endless World''s these hundred years was too disgraceful as well. To actually not even have a single person who made it to the fourth level. No wonder their strength was weak until like this.


    But this had to do with the Three Sects monopolizing resources and all as well. If these slots had been evenly distributed to the other factions and itinerant cultivators, perhaps there might be awe-inspiring geniuses that appeared.


    This method of closing their doors to the world ultimately cause talents to drop to zero.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Presumably, that Lu Linfeng should have comprehended the Concept of Formations Path in this Vast Heaven Pagoda. That was why he soared to the heaven in one leap.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was curious about what kind of existence created this Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    When Lu Linfeng was in the Lower Realms, his comprehension of concepts already far surpassed the Endless World, this small world. And he only made it to the seventh level. Then, the things in the eighth level and ninth level should be able to reach the level of the Divine Realm!


    Why would such an existence show up in the Endless World and leave a legacy?

 548 Not Someone You Can Afford to Offend

    Along the way, Ye Yuan continuously sized up the huge pagoda. The more he looked at it, the more extraordinary he felt it was.


    Approaching the front, Ye Yuan said to Ren Xingchun, "Old man, you go and say hi to them. I''ll stroll around myself."


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s form of address, Ren Xingchun was already used to it long ago.


    If he tried to gain back face with Ye Yuan, Ren Xingchun would have long exploded in anger.


    Ren Xingchun also discovered that Ye Yuan was very interested in Vast Heaven Pagoda. He nodded his head and said, "Alright. You go alone then. There are a few of my old friends over there. I''ll go and say hi to them. Dong-er, Cao Fang, you guys follow me to greet several seniors."


    After Ren Xingchun left, Ye Yuan strolled around the Vast Heaven Pagoda by himself.


    Only after staring in close vicinity did Ye Yuan discover that he actually had no way of discerning what kind of material this pagoda was forged with!


    Although Ye Yuan did not dabble much in the path of refining, with his horizons, he still knew most of the materials in the Divine Realm.


    Yet, he was actually unable to discern this building''s material. This involuntarily made Ye Yuan even more curious about this Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Spirit Gathering Formations are laid down around this Vast Heaven Pagoda to supply essence energy ceaselessly into the pagoda body. Countless array formations are inscribed onto the pagoda body. The usage of many array formations, even I actually can''t understand any of them!"


    Ye Yuan could not help drawing a cold breath. This Vast Heaven Pagoda was truly very abnormal.


    One had to know that although Ye Yuan''s Formations Path attainments could not compare to Lu Linfeng, he himself was a Tier 9 Array Emperor. Furthermore, he obtained Lu Linfeng''s legacy at the Grand Yan True Sect too. His attainments in the Formations Path were already exceedingly high!


    With his present visual prowess, he actually could not figure out the array formations inscribed on the pagoda body!


    "Just what is this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s origin?" Ye Yuan could not help muttering under his breath.


    Ye Yuan initially thought that everything should be under his control in the Lower Realms. But only now did he discover that within this Endless World, actually there were a lot of secrets that even he could not understand.


    Not just this Vast Heaven Pagoda, even that incomparably mysterious Endless Forest as well.


    Yue Mengli said that she had once entered deep into the Endless Forest. But with her strength, she actually did not dare to enter into the deepest parts!


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that this world seemed to be even more complex than he had imagined!


    A tiny little Endless World had so many things that could not be figured out. Then what about the Divine Realm?


    Just how many secrets were hidden in the Divine Realm? Where did those Deity Realm powerhouses all go to? Why were the current martial artists unable to affirm their Dao and become deities?


    Ye Yuan discovered that he was too absorbed in alchemy in his previous life, resulting in overlooking many things.


    Only through this reincarnation did he realize that his understanding of this world was too little.


    "Heh, I wonder which hillbilly who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth? Even the Three Sects are unable to fully understand this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s secrets, let alone you, a Sea Transformation Realm boy?"


    Ye Yuan was currently lost in thought when a disdainful voice came from behind.


    Turning around to look, it was a young man around thirty.


    This person wore the Myriad Sword Sect''s outfit. Clearly, he was a Myriad Sword Sect disciple.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly. Each and every one of the Three Sects'' disciples was indeed very arrogant!


    Although this person had a Soul Sea Realm strength, his pair of eyes were practically growing on top of his head.


    Opening up Vast Heaven Pagoda to everyone this time, the Three Sects'' disciples were clearly very displeased.


    In their eyes, the young disciples apart from the Three Sects were probably all good-for-nothings, right?


    Ye Yuan was disinclined to dispute with him as well. He went to another place without even paying notice to him.


    When that person saw Ye Yuan''s attitude, he immediately had a feeling of being disregarded. Rage welled up in his heart.


    "Stinking brat, I''m talking to you! Did you hear or not?!"


    While talking, he reached his hand out to grab at Ye Yuan. He wanted to teach this cocky brat a bit of a lesson!


    A puny little Sea Transformation Realm martial artist actually had this kind of attitude when seeing him. How arrogant!


    But then in his vision, Ye Yuan became a blurry figure and then disappeared without a trace.


    Looking again, Ye Yuan already arrived at several dozen feet away, currently sizing him up with unkind eyes.


    That young man''s expression changed, his face revealing disbelief.


    He, a Soul Sea Realm, was going to grab an early-stage Sea Transformation boy, but he actually failed?


    A feeling of humiliation welled up in his heart uncontrollably.


    The young man was just about to make a move again to wash away the disgrace earlier when a voice suddenly was heard. "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhou Ye, turns out you''re here."


    Zhou Ye turned around and said with an unhappy look, "Junior Apprentice Brother Qin Yan, you hang on for a bit. Wait until I take care of this condescending stinking brat!"


    The arrival was precisely the Qin Yan who had already broken through to Soul Sea Realm.


    Qin Yan followed Zhou Ye''s gaze and could not help saying in surprise, "Ye Yuan!"


    But he changed to another expression very quickly and circled around Zhou Ye to come before Ye Yuan. Qin Yan said with a respectful bow, "Any offense committed against Junior Apprentice Brother Ye previously, Qin Yan apologizes for it here."


    When Ye Yuan saw that Qin Yan had indeed broken through to the Soul Sea Realm, he was also rather surprised.


    When he captured Qin Yan to be a hostage last time, Qin Yan was still some distance away from Soul Sea Realm. To think that he grew wiser with each setback, and he actually broke through to Soul Sea Realm at the end.


    Zhou Ye''s eyes went wide at the side. The Myriad Sword Sect''s proud son of heaven, Qin Yan, actually bowed towards this Sea Transformation Realm little rookie?


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Qin Yan, are you mistaken? To actually bow towards this brat?" Zhou Ye was full of doubt.


    Qin Yan said in a slightly solemn voice, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhou Ye, although I don''t know what''s going on, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye isn''t someone you can afford to offend. You head back quickly. Old Ancestor is finding you for something."


    Zhou Ye''s expression was seemingly apprehensive, and he could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    He understood Qin Yan very well. In the sect, he was extremely haughty. But such a haughty Qin Yan actually lowered his proud head in front of this teenage youth!


    Who on earth was this youth?


    "What are you still in a daze for? You''re aware of Old Ancestor''s temper. If you''re late, I don''t dare to say what consequences there are!" Qin Yan frowned and said.


    Zhou Ye shuddered, nodded his head rigidly, and he hurriedly turned around and left.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Yan and said with a smile, "With your present strength, you shouldn''t fear me. Why do this?"


    Qin Yan breaking through to Soul Sea was different from those ordinary martial artists. Although similarly First Level Soul Sea, his strength was much greater.


    To Qin Yan, breaking through to Soul Sea was a qualitative leap. In this realm, it was the period for his potentially greatest burst to go forward.


    Even the current Ye Yuan did not dare say to be able to beat Qin Yan as well.


    Qin Yan said rather embarrassedly, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye and I are destined to not be opponents on the same level. Don''t make fun of me anymore! I''m aware that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye slew a Soul Sea Realm expert by yourself. The Vast Heaven Inheritance this time, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can probably charge into the sixth level. At that time, you''ll definitely soar to the heaven in one move!"


    Ye Yuan was rather curious when he heard that and asked, "Oh? How do you know that I can charge into the sixth level?"


    "The Vast Heaven Pagoda is a place that tests potential and strength. With Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s talent, charging into the sixth level should be highly certain!" Qin Yan said.


    "Then what about yourself?" Ye Yuan enquired.


    Qin Yan seemed to have long had a prediction regarding this and said, "I have the confidence to charge into the fifth level. But I don''t have much confidence in passing the fifth level."

 549 Prediction

    "Oh? I heard that the Three Sects already had no one make it to the fifth level for close to a hundred years. You''re actually so confident?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "Heh, although this Qin can''t match up to Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, I still have some confidence after I look at myself. If it were before breaking through to Soul Sea, I really wouldn''t dare to say this. But now . . ."


    Qin Yan''s words at the back were not said finish. But it was very clear he had absolute confidence in himself passing through the fourth level.


    In the case of genius martial artists, they all had full confidence in themselves. This was the essential condition to become a powerhouse.


    Qin Yan was indeed an outstanding figure among the Endless World''s junior generation. Him having this confidence was nothing inappropriate either.


    If he did not have such confidence in himself, it was not possible to break through to the Soul Sea Realm very quickly after receiving stimulation from the incident with Ye Yuan.


    "Huhu, then I''ll have to congratulate Senior Apprentice Brother Qin in becoming the number one person in a hundred years!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Dare not, dare not. With Junior Apprentice Brother Ye around, how can I dare to call myself the number one person? Furthermore, Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua are definitely unwilling to be left behind as well," Qin Yan hurriedly said.


    "En?"


    "Turns out that Junior Apprentice Brother Ye doesn''t know yet. The two of them already broke through to the Soul Sea Realm before coming to Vast Heaven Mystic Realm." Qin Yan knew that he had yet to receive the news when he saw Ye Yuan''s expression.


    Regarding news of this aspect, Ye Yuan had always been slow.


    Ye Yuan could not help chuckling when he heard this. "The three of you are following really tightly behind. But this way is good as well. Walking alone at the front is a bit too lonely."


    Qin Yan nodded and felt that what Ye Yuan said was correct as well.


    But he came to his senses very soon. Wasn''t this person before his eyes the one walking alone at the front?


    Even the current him did not dare say to surely beat Ye Yuan, let alone talked about going after the Vast Heaven Inheritance.


    Second Level Sea Transformation and able to kill a Soul Sea Realm expert. This Ye Yuan was simply monstrous until it made people feel dread.


    Actually, after being captured to be a hostage by Ye Yuan, Qin Yan was still very unresigned.


    He was holding on to this grievance too; that was why he could break through to Soul Sea Realm so quickly.


    But when he heard the news of Ye Yuan slaying a Soul Sea Realm expert alone, he could not invoke the thought of finding Ye Yuan to take revenge anymore.


    His disparity with Ye Yuan was too great. Furthermore, this disparity would only become increasingly bigger.


    Him suppressing Ye Yuan by a major realm did not seem to have the slightest hint of advantage to talk about at all.


    Moreover, with Ye Yuan''s potential, his cultivation speed would only be faster than him!


    . . . . . .


    Accompanying Ye Yuan to tour one round, Qin Yan followed Ye Yuan back to the place where those major powers gathered.


    When Guo Taoqun saw Ye Yuan, he immediately came up to greet warmly. He sai, "Haha! Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, you actually came together with Qin Yan. I just asked City Lord, His Excellency, and was just about to go find you!"


    Ye Yuan''s impression of this easy-going Guo Taoqun was not bad. He said with a smile, "Having not met for several days, Senior Apprentice Brother Guo improved again. Congratulations!"


    "Sigh, isn''t this still all thanks to you? If not for you stimulating Qin Yan, Fairy Ice Cloud and I wouldn''t be stimulated by him either! I, Guo Taoqun, only submit to you, Ye Yuan, alone. Qin Yan this punk beating me, I''m not convinced!" Guo Taoqun said smilingly.


    "Humph! No matter what, I won this time too!" Qin Yan said with a cold snort.


    These two people were natural foes. Being together, they would argue within three sentences.


    "So what then? Now, everybody is about the same again. If you''re not convinced, let''s just come and compete for one round!" Guo Taoqun said without yielding at all.


    "Alright. What''s the use of fighting and showing off? If you have the strength, why not spend it on the Fierce Gale World martial artists!" Yin Yanhua came over here at this time too and broke off the pair''s intense confrontation.


    With Yin Yanhua opening her mouth, the two people both shut their mouths sensibly and did not argue anymore.


    Ye Yuan naturally perceived the delicate relationship between these three people and did not expose it either. He said with Yin Yanhua with clasped hands, "Congratulations to Fairy Ice Cloud for breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm."


    This Yin Yanhua had an icy appearance. Ye Yuan could not be too polite with her either and just lightly congratulated.


    Yin Yanhua greeted with folded hands at the lower right side and said icily, "I''ve incurred Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s ridicule."


    "Hahaha! Little Brother Ye came. I was just betting with Old Ren earlier saying that you can definitely charge to the sixth level!"


    Qin Hongtao came over to welcome with a loud laugh. Coming over together with him was still Ning Yixian, Jing Xuan, as well as Ren Xingchun and the rest.


    These people were all the sects'' old ancestor level figures. For the sake of their juniors, they all put down the important things in their hands and came to the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm.


    The matter of the alliance, these old ancestors determined the general direction. The remaining stuff naturally had other people to do.


    Their most important thing apart from their own cultivation was to groom junior descendants.


    Behind Qin Hongtao even tagged along that Zhou Ye. When he heard Qin Hongtao''s words, his face swelled to a purple color, secretly looking at Ye Yuan from time to time.


    What kind of situation was this?


    His own old ancestor was actually calling this boy his little brother?


    Wasn''t this messing up the seniority?


    Zhou Ye was thrown into confusion. But there was one point which he was very clear about. Qin Yan really was not joking around with him earlier!


    This Ye Yuan was really not someone he could afford to offend!


    These several old ancestor level figures were on such close terms with Ye Yuan, calling him little brother one after another. The more Zhou Ye listened, the more intense the chill deep in his heart.


    He was quietly praying for Ye Yuan to not rat on him to his old ancestor. Otherwise, with his old ancestor''s temper, he probably would not spare him.


    Zhou Ye started to listen to the few people converse on tenterhooks.


    "Huhu, Old Ancestor Qin views me so high. If I don''t make it to the sixth level, I wouldn''t have the face to come out of the pagoda," Ye Yuan responded with a laugh.


    "Heh, Little Brother Ye don''t need to be humble anymore. My family''s stinking brat already said that he can make it to the fifth level. You charging to the sixth level is absolutely fine!" Qin Hongtao said with a guffaw.


    Ye Yuan just smiled. Instead, he turned to Ren Xingchun and said, "Old Ancestor Qin guessed that I can reach the sixth level. I wonder what City Lord, Your Excellency, was saying earlier?"


    Ren Xingchun smiled too and did not reply to Ye Yuan''s words.


    Ning Yixian interjected, saying, "This Old Man Ren is shrewd and planning something bad. Just now, we forced him to take a stance. But he just won''t say. Maybe in his heart, Little Brother Ye making it to the seventh level isn''t without the possibility too!"


    Of course, this was just Ning Yixian''s joking words.


    In his heart, even though Ye Yuan was monstrous, this Vast Heaven Inheritance was even more monstrous.


    To be able to make it to the sixth level was already the number one person in a thousand years for the Endless World.


    How could the seventh level be barged inside that easily?


    One had to know that up until today, just a mere scanty three people made it into the seventh level.


    It was not that he did not believe in Ye Yuan, but this was the Vast Heaven Pagoda! It was too perverse!


    Zhou ye was filled with fear listening to these few people chatting all this while, but Ye Yuan did not give him a single glance from start to finish as if he was like air.


    After chatting for a period of time, Zhou Ye discovered that Ye Yuan seemed to have really forgotten about him. His tightly wound nerves finally eased up slightly.


    Right at this time, an enormous rumbling sound suddenly came from the pagoda body. The dark pagoda body suddenly gave off a hundred thousand foot light, blinding until everyone could not open their eyes at all!


    Creak.


    Vast Heaven Pagoda''s bottom-most level gigantic door slowly pulled open . . .

 550 The First Level

    "The Vast Heaven Pagoda opened!"


    "Haha! To think that I still have the opportunity to enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda in this life! Thinking about it really makes people agitated!"


    "Success or failure hinges on this one action! I must stand out above the masses!"


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda''s abnormal activity aroused commotion from those sects and itinerant cultivators who were taking part for the first time.


    Compared to them, the Three Sects'' disciples appeared rather calm.


    A light screen poured down from the top of the pagoda, akin to quicksilver spilling over the ground; it was an incredibly grand sight.


    The pagoda body being swept by this light screen, it actually displayed out rows of names!


    Ye Yuan focused his gaze. It was only to see a name inscribed at the most conspicuous place: Li Fantian.


    Affixed on top of this name was the eighth level. He was also the one and only martial artist who made it past the seventh level and entered the eighth level in these ten thousand years.


    Ye Yuan continued looking down. There were three names under the seventh level.


    The first name was called Luo Yanqing. The second name was called Zhuo Fei.


    And the third name was shockingly Lu Linfeng!


    "This old punk was likely a legendary figure in the Endless World back then too. It''s just that with the passing of time, his legend has already been gradually forgotten by the later generations." Ye Yuan sighed in his heart.


    Actually, the primary reason why Lu Linfeng was forgotten by the Endless World was still that of the Grand Yan True Sect''s destruction.


    Otherwise, with the Grand Yan True Sect''s legacy, no matter how useless, they would also be the overlord of a region in the Endless World too.


    As for after the sixth level, the names were densely packed. It was also uncertain how many there were. Ye Yuan was no longer interested in looking anymore.


    Ye Yuan coming to the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, the lowest target was also the seventh level!


    If he could not even match up to Lu Linfeng, then what right did he have to get involved with those turbulent waves in the Divine Realm?


    But Ye Yuan was also very curious about which era those figures Luo Yanqing and Zhuo Fei were from. Ye Yuan unexpectedly had not heard of them before.


    Logically speaking, they could make it to the seventh level, they should absolutely not be unrecorded nameless people.


    "Looks like the mighty current of time buried countless geniuses in oblivion! Even if Lu Linfeng roams unobstructed in the Divine Realm right now, there might not be people who can remember him years later." Ye Yuan sighed quietly.


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that beside the names, there was still a patch of blank light screen, but he did not know what use it had.


    "After you all enter, the light screen will display your names and the level you are at. This Vast Heaven Mystic Realm doesn''t have any danger. But once the mission fails, you''ll be transported out by the pagoda. Your names will disappear with it too. Furthermore, inside the mystic realm, all the pain is real, even if it''s death!"


    Ye Yuan looked sideways. Qi Hai already arrived beside him since who knew when.


    "Old Hai, why did you come?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    "Huhu, Little Brother Ye clearing the Vast Heaven Pagoda, how can I not come and bear witness to this historical moment? In this thousand years, you''re the martial artist with the greatest hope of charging to the sixth level! But sadly, time waits for no one. If your boundary could increase some more, you might have hopes of making it to the seventh level!" Qi Hai said with a slight pity.


    In the end, it was still that Ye Yuan''s current boundary was too low.


    His present strength was at best also just around the strength of Qin Yan and the others. If counting in potential, Qi Hai''s judgment of Ye Yuan was the same; it was entering the sixth level.


    If Ye Yuan could break through a few more realms, Qi Hai''s judgment of Ye Yuan would naturally be much higher.


    But this Vast Heaven Pagoda was clearly harder the further back. The seventh level was already the limits that everyone could understand!


    Except that everybody including Qi Hai all did not know that the lowest target Ye Yuan set for himself was the seventh level!


    "Haha! Since Old Hai thinks so highly of Ye Yuan, I have to take on this sixth level no matter what!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Huhu, this old man will wait and see! Alright, it''s almost time. You guys should enter!" Qi Hai said.


    Ning Yixian said in a loud and clear voice, "The Vast Heaven Pagoda is already open. Everybody has to put in more effort when you''re inside! My Endless World''s future is resting on you all! But this old man will get the unpleasant things out of the way first. Opening up the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time is for the sake of my Endless World''s future and in order to resist the Fierce Gale World''s invasion. After you guys come out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda, you must join the Endless Alliance and serve the alliance! In the future, when the Fierce Gale World is defeated, we''ll naturally give you guys back your freedom!"


    "Alliance Chief Ning, we''ll definitely put our best foot forward and serve the alliance!"


    To these itinerant cultivator martial artists, this was an opportunity that only came once in a lifetime.


    Once someone''s talent showed itself, founding a sect in the future was something easily accomplished too.


    Ning Yixian said, "Alright, you all enter from the entrance by yourselves!"


    Under Ning Yixian''s command, the group of martial artists all flew over to the entrance scrambling over each other, especially those itinerant cultivator martial artists.


    To them, this was a great opportunity for the carp to leap over the dragon gate.


    Furthermore, to be able to get selected, these people''s strength were all preeminent among the itinerant cultivator martial artists. There were people with exceptional talents. They were naturally unwilling to fall behind others.


    Ye Yuan bid farewell to the group of old ancestors and also followed the group and flew into the pagoda.


    . . . . . .


    Entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, the scenery before Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly changed. It was as if he had arrived at a different world.


    Ye Yuan had yet to land on his feet, and he saw a blur in front of him. A shadow attacked towards him.


    But the speed of this shadow was as slow as a snail in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan casually pointed a finger, and that shadow collapsed to the ground with a bang.


    Looking closely, it was a Tier 2 demonic beast.


    "Huhu, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye''s luck is really booming. To actually bump into a demonic beast right after entering," said Guo Taoqun who came to Ye Yuan''s side with a wide grin.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just a Tier 2 demonic beast. Not worth mentioning. It''s just . . . the mission of this first level isn''t to hunt demonic beasts, right?"


    Guo Taoqun smiled too and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is indeed astute. Actually, the missions in the first three levels are all to hunt down demonic beasts. It''s just that the ranks of the demonic beasts are different. This first level only has Peak Tier 2 demonic beasts. What we need to do is to breach the blockade of the Tier 2 demonic beasts, and then we are to find the entrance leading to the second level to reach the next level!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. "So simple?"


    Guo Taoqun burst into laughter and said, "Simple? Haha! It''s Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is thinking of things too simply! Don''t look at how we have 300 people who entered this Vast Heaven Mystic Realm. In this first level, close to half of the martial artists will be eliminated! We''re only at the entrance area right now, so the number of demonic beasts is not many. When reaching the deep regions of the first level, the numbers of these Tier 2 demonic beasts will reach an extremely terrifying number! Even Sea Transformation Realm experts might not be able to retreat unscathed! Although I broke through to the Soul Sea Realm now, I don''t dare to keep on fighting in the beast horde either. Otherwise, my essence energy will be exhausted sooner or later and be eliminated."


    Only now did Ye Yuan come to understand. If it was just vanquishing Tier 2 demonic beasts, then that was truly too simple.


    Although the strength of Tier 2 demonic beasts was not powerful, once the numbers reach a certain level, it would produce a qualitative change.


    No matter how high your boundary was, it could not withstand the exhaustion from confronting too many demonic beasts!


    High tier martial artists were hailed as invincible. In real life situation, that was the case too.


    But in theory, low ranking martial artists could completely use numbers to exhaust high-tier martial artists to death!


    Ye Yuan thought about it and asked, "Could it be that the demonic beasts in this first level can''t all be killed completely?"

 551 Why Did You Only Just Arrive?

    Hearing Ye Yuan''s query, Guo Taoqun could not help being stupefied.


    "This . . . I really don''t know. Probably, no one will be dumb enough to kill off all the demonic beasts here, right? Although these demonic beasts are not corporeal bodies, their strength is not the slightest bit inferior to real demonic beasts. Those endless demonic beasts, unless one has a Divine Traversing Realm strength, otherwise, nobody dares to stay here to kill off all the demonic beasts."


    Guo Taoqun felt that this question of Ye Yuan''s was somewhat hard to answer, so he replied it like this.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.


    He killed a demonic beast earlier and also felt that these demonic beasts were not corporeal, but it seemed to be formed from some type of energy.


    But the strength of that demonic beast just now was not the slightest bit inferior to Tier 2 demonic beasts.


    If these demonic beasts reached a certain number, even Soul Sea Realm experts would not dare to clash head-on either.


    "They all went to the inner region. Let''s go too," Ye Yuan said.


    Guo Taoqun hurriedly followed after and said to Ye Yuan, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, it''s very easy to pass through this first level. How about we compete on who passes the first level first?"


    To the current Guo Taoqun, Tier 2 demonic beasts truly had no way of threatening him. As long as he charged over with all his might, those demonic beasts could not stop him.


    With the desire to win stirring inside him, Guo Taoqun gave birth to the thought of competing with Ye Yuan for a bit.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard and said, "If it''s battling you, I really don''t have much assurance in beating you. But to compete in speed with you, you''ll definitely lose."


    Guo Taoqun had a face full of disbelief and said, "Might not be so, right?"


    He was at the Soul Sea Realm now. Even if he did not have full assurance in winning Ye Yuan, in terms of battle endurance and explosive power, he was confident that he could surpass Ye Yuan.


    The reason why Ye Yuan could cross boundaries to battle and his greatest reliance were that terrifying concept comprehension of his.


    If it was competing in speed, with Ye Yuan facing so many Tier 2 demonic beasts'' obstruction, for him wanting to be faster than Guo Taoqun, it was virtually impossible.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you don''t believe me, let''s just compete. But we don''t need to compete until the finish point. Just determining the victor will do."


    "Fine! Compete away then! Starting now!"


    Guo Taoqun''s voice had yet to fade, and his entire person already dashed out like an arrow discharging.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly. His movement technique activated, and he followed after too.


    At the start, this stretch of area was practically a vast expanse of flat land. What these two people competed in was naturally leg strength.


    Yet, Guo Taoqun discovered to his dismay that no matter how hard he exerted his strength to speed up his movement technique, Ye Yuan was around not far from him from start to end. Ye Yuan was like a dog-skin plaster sticking to him.


    Ye Yuan''s current movement technique was still Spirit Void Shattering Space. But ever since comprehending the Concept of Wind, Ye Yuan applied the Concept of Wind into his movement technique.


    The two superimposed. Although Ye Yuan was only Second Level Sea Transformation right now, his speed was not the slightest bit slower than Guo Taoqun''s.


    Along the way, the two people casually slew the Tier 2 demonic beasts around them, running neck to neck all the way.


    After two hours, Guo Taoqun stopped gloomily and said to Ye Yuan, "I say, aren''t you too freakish? Offensive power so formidable, even movement technique is also so freakish! I broke through to Soul Sea Realm now and cultivated Tier 4 movement technique and actually can''t shake you off!"


    Ye Yuan stopped too and said smilingly, "This movement technique of yours isn''t bad. If you can train it to the Great Circle Stage, I won''t be able to keep up."


    Guo Taoqun involuntarily rolled his eyes. He just broke through to Soul Sea Realm not long ago. How could he possibly train the Tier 4 movement technique to the Great Circle Stage?


    "Heh heh, even if your movement technique is any faster, it''s useless too! Starting from now, the number of demonic beasts will get increasingly more. Although movement technique is important, endurance and essence energy are the key to determining victory!"


    Guo Taoqun finished talking and dashed out once more.


    Before long, sure enough, as Guo Taoqun said, the number of demonic beasts became increasingly more, virtually surrounding the two people.


    Everyone''s destination was pretty much the same. With 300 people in this first level, the chances of everyone bumping was still very high.


    But as they got deeper and deeper in, martial artists'' miserable cries would sound out from time to time from the two people''s surroundings and then disappear. Clearly, they were transported out of Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    But those being transported out were basically all Sea Transformation Realm martial artists.


    Like Guo Taoqun said, this first level was going to eliminate a large batch of martial artists.


    Guo Taoqun was a peak existence among the junior generation himself. Now, especially after breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm, his strength was incomparably daunting.


    Demonic beasts that approached him practically all had the outcome of being instantly killed.


    But along with the increasing number of demonic beasts, Guo Taoqun also gradually put away his mentality of playing around and started to treat things seriously.


    Failing miserably at a simple task was not something fun.


    Around another two hours passed. Guo Taoqun finally could not resist darting a glance to the back with his eyes. He was delighted inwardly. Because there was already no sign of Ye Yuan.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan was already blocked by the demonic beasts.


    Even though he overwhelmed Ye Yuan with the advantage of cultivation realm, Guo Taoqun still felt very accomplished.


    Ye Yuan''s monstrousness virtually made people despair.


    Regardless of winning him under any kind of circumstances, it was all something to be very thrilled about.


    Being besieged by so many demonic beasts, the consumption speed of a Sea Transformation Realm''s essence energy was much faster than a Soul Sea Realm''s.


    In order to reduce this kind of expenditure, the martial artist must carefully utilize their own essence energy. This way, the speed of killing demonic beasts was bound to slow down.


    Charging ahead blindly, the speed of essence energy consumption would shoot up by several folds.


    With Ye Yuan''s Second Level Sea Transformation essence energy level, it would be exhausted entirely very quickly.


    How could such a clever person like Ye Yuan possibly do this kind of foolish thing because of a small competition?


    "Heh heh, charge ahead for a distance, then wait for Ye Yuan and tell him that I won! Haha! I really want to see the expression of him losing the competition!"


    Guo Taoqun was talking, but his hands were not slow. In a blink of an eye, another dozen over demonic beasts were killed, and he charged forward once again.


    After a while, Guo Taoqun suddenly discovered that the demonic beasts ahead seemed to be increasingly lesser.


    "En? What''s going on? Logically speaking, the further in one goes, there should be more demonic beasts. Could it be that I had too much fun killing and actually lost my way? That''s wrong, the direction should be correct. Really weird!" Guo Taoqun could not figure it out.


    He continued dashing ahead but discovered that the demonic beasts around became lesser and lesser. The puzzlement in his heart grew.


    All of a sudden, ahead of him was clear and spacious, without even a single demonic beast.


    And in front of him, Ye Yuan was currently looking at him calmly, with a wide grin on his face.


    "Why are you only here now? I''ve already waited for a long time! With nothing to do, I cleared away the surrounding demonic beasts and finally can have a break," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    ". . . . . ." Guo Taoqun stared at Ye Yuan with wide-saucers for eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.


    "You . . . Just how did you do it? You''re only at the Sea Transformation Realm. How can you possibly be so much faster than me?" It was only after some time did Guo Taoqun come back to his senses and ask out this question.

 552 Nameless Energy

    Of course, Ye Yuan would be that much faster than him!


    The number of these demonic beasts looked to be extremely horrifying. But to talk about crowd-control measures, was there any martial technique more powerful than Ye Yuan''s Thousand Flowing Petals?


    At least in this Endless World, such a martial technique probably could not be found.


    If these demonic beasts'' ranks were high, then forget it. If it were just Tier 2 demonic beasts, Ye Yuan could casually summon a cluster of petals and it would basically be an instant kill.


    More importantly, Thousand Flowing Petals was a type of perpetual martial technique. As long as Ye Yuan''s essence energy was not exhausted, he could constantly summon more petals by his side.


    Guo Taoqun naturally had crowd-control type martial techniques too. But firstly, crowd-control type martial techniques had tremendous expenditure. Secondly, unleashing it takes time. The losses outweighed the gains.


    To the vast majority of the people in the Vast Heaven Pagoda right now, charging into the second level was the most important thing. Guo Taoqun was clearly not an exception too.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan displayed the Thousand Flowing Petals. His advancement speed was not much slower compared to when without demonic beasts.


    In comparison, the demonic beasts in front of Guo Taoqun got increasingly more. His speed naturally slowed down.


    "Huhu, I said that you''d definitely lose. You just had to insist on a pummeling. Alright, you go to the second level by yourself. I''ll circle around the first level some more," said Ye Yuan. As he said this, he was making his move to leave.


    Guo Taoqun was stunned. "What''s there to circle around in the first level? The first level had long been cleared countless times. If there were any hidden rewards, it would have long been discovered by people. But up till today, there was simply nobody who discovered any additional rewards."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It''s fine. I''m just curious. You go on first."


    As he said this, Ye Yuan''s figure leaped, vanishing inside the demonic beast herd.


    Guo Taoqun saw Ye Yuan moving freely among the demonic beasts. It was as if it was an uninhabited land. His eye could not help becoming wide-saucers.


    Only at this time did he know why Ye Yuan''s speed was much faster than his.


    The demonic beasts here completely did not have their own consciousness and attacked martial artists with no fear of death at all. But those demonic beasts simply could not approach Ye Yuan''s body.


    Clusters of petals willfully reaped the lives of those demonic beasts.


    "Hiss . . . Monsters are monsters. Indeed not what mortals like us can compare to!"


    After a long while, Guo Taoqun gave a sigh and turned around, rushing to the depths of the first level.


    . . . . . .


    After half a day, in a remote corner of the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s first level, Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes.


    "These demonic beasts are all formed from a type of energy. Slaying these demonic beasts can actually acquire a trace of this type of energy! And this type of energy can actually convert into essence energy, promoting the advancement of cultivation! Truly unbelievably miraculous!" Ye Yuan muttered under his breath.


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan did not notice yet. But when he was competing with Guo Taoqun, Ye Yuan slaughtered large numbers of demonic beasts and finally noticed a hint of something wrong.


    After those demonic beasts were killed, there was a strand of extremely minute energy that entered inside Ye Yuan''s body.


    This wisp of energy was extremely minute; it was virtually undetectable.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Ye Yuan killed a large number of demonic beasts within a period of time and those energies converged to form a small tuft, Ye Yuan would not be able to discover it at all.


    Ye Yuan was also uncertain if this type of energy was harmful to the body or not. So he bid farewell to Guo Taoqun and found a covert place to investigate.


    He casually laid down a set of array formation. Those Tier 2 demonic beasts were simply incapable of barging inside. Then he started to study this small tuft of energy.


    But with this investigation, Ye Yuan discovered that with his experience and knowledge, he actually could not recognize what this energy was!


    After failing to glean anything with numerous attempts, Ye Yuan simply mustered essence energy and attempted to force that trace of energy out of the body.


    But Ye Yuan did not expect that once the energy came into contact with essence energy, it actually merged into the essence energy with a whoosh.


    This was no trifling matter. Ye Yuan hurriedly wanted to expel the nameless energy. But after that tuft of energy fused into his own essence energy, it was like a poisonous sore inflicted deep into the bones, no longer able to separate.


    Ye Yuan unleashed all of his skills to the utmost and could not do anything to that mass of nameless energy.


    But that mass of energy just quietly lay within his essence energy sea and did not have make any excessive action. Only then did this let Ye Yuan be slightly at ease.


    Later on, Ye Yuan might as well just circulate the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and started to refine that mass of essence energy.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that the nameless energy really reacted!


    Before long, the nameless energy was actually refined into essence energy. It made Ye Yuan''s boundary loosen up a trace. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Although Ye Yuan had killed many demonic beasts, the nameless energy obtained was an extremely, extremely tiny speck.


    Ye Yuan internally viewed that trace of essence energy. It seemed to be a little different from the essence energy that he originally cultivated. But just how was it different, Ye Yuan could not determine it.


    To really say it out, Ye Yuan had a feeling that this kind of essence energy seemed to be even more powerful than the essence energy which he previously cultivated!


    "This type of energy can actually promote essence energy. Then wouldn''t I be able to use this energy to undergo cultivation? Guo Taoqun said that this first level did not have any additional rewards. Could it be that this is the first level''s hidden boon? It''s just that this type of energy . . Just what in the world is it? Why is it that even I haven''t heard of it before?"


    Ye Yuan thought for a long time and could not figure out the reason why either.


    But he felt that this energy should not be harmful to the human body. Hence, he made a bold decision: kill off all the demonic beasts in the first level!


    Since this type of energy could increase cultivation, how could Ye Yuan let it slip by?


    "When soldiers arrive, use a general to keep them off. When water rises, build a dam with earth. If some problem were to really occur, just think of ways to resolve it in the future!"


    . . . . . .


    Outside the Vast Heaven pagoda, those sects'' old ancestors all stared at the light screen, wanting to see to what extent their own juniors had progressed to.


    "Somebody entered the second level!"


    "En? Who is Liu Hong? He''s actually the first one to enter the second level!"


    "The first to rush into the second level is actually not the Three Sects'' head disciples? Where did this Liu Hong pop out from?"


    . . . . . .


    The second level was totally empty right now. Therefore, Liu Hong''s name was very conspicuous.


    This name appeared abruptly, making everyone all feel somewhat caught off-guard. Because before this, simply no one had heard of this name.


    The expressions of the Three Sects'' old ancestors were very ugly. They had a feeling of getting their faces slapped.


    It was fine if Ye Yuan was monstrous. Where did this Liu Hong pop out from? To actually prevail over the Three Sects?


    One had to know that Qin Yan and Guo Taoqun they all were at the Soul Sea Realm now. Among the junior generation, they should be sweeping away everyone else. But now, they were actually surpassed by an unknown boy!


    "I have some impression of this Liu Hong. Seems to be an itinerant cultivator. During the itinerant martial artists'' selection, this person''s performance was remarkably astonishing; he directly overwhelmed everybody and obtained the right to enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda with the status of the first place! To think that he still held back during the selections. His strength is actually so formidable!"said a Heavenly Martial Sect''s grand elder.


    He was the main examiner-in-charge of the itinerant cultivators'' selection and had some impression of this Liu Hong.


    "Quickly look! Qin Yan the three of them virtually rushed into the second level at the same time!" At this time, somebody exclaimed.


    Only after seeing Qin Yan trio entering the second level closely behind Liu Hong did the expressions on the three old ancestors'' faces become slightly better.

 553 Blunder

    Although the first one to rush into the second level might not mean that he was definitely the strongest one, to a certain extent, it also illustrated many problems.


    Hence, for that Liu Hong to be able to be the first one to rush into the second level, it at least showed that his strength was very formidable.


    "I didn''t think that among the itinerant cultivators, a genius junior actually appeared too!" Qi Hai stroked his beard and smiled.


    To the present Endless World, the more geniuses like this, the better things would be.


    "Humph! Might just be a moment of luck!" Qin Hongtao said with a cold snort.


    More and more names vanished from the first level. Ren Xingchun''s eyebrows could not help knitting together.


    He kept on staring at Ye Yuan''s name. But Ye Yuan''s name did not have any signs of moving throughout. Regardless of how the other people''s names moved, Ye Yuan''s name remained in the first level from start to end.


    At this time, somebody reacted to it as well and asked, "En? Where''s Ye Yuan? With his strength, he should have entered the second level long ago, right?"


    "His name is still at the first level. I wonder what happened," Ning Yixian said.


    "No way, right? Ye Yuan is able to kill a Soul Sea Realm expert on his own. How can he possibly be trapped at the first level?"


    "Maybe he got delayed because of some matter?"


    "There''s nothing in the first level. Can be held up by what? Is it possible that . . . Ye Yuan can kill Soul Sea Realm experts because his explosive power is very great. But to charge into the second level, what''s required is abundant essence energy and lasting endurance. On this aspect, Ye Yuan is just a Second Level Sea Transformation. He''ll probably be at a disadvantage!"


    What this person said was reasonable. Many people could not help falling silent when they heard that.


    Ren Xingchun''s expression was very ugly. He thought very highly of Ye Yuan and felt that Ye Yuan would bring him a tremendous surprise.


    If Ye Yuan already fell behind in the first level, the difficulty of the levels at the back would be increasingly greater. How was Ye Yuan going to pass through?


    Ren Xingchun looked previously already. Cao Fang was already eliminated in the first level. Although Ren Dong made it into the second level, he was placed rather behind in terms of timing.


    If even Ye Yuan failed, then Wu Fang City would be utterly disgraced!


    "Sigh. In the end, this Vast Heaven Pagoda is still too much for Sea Transformation Realms!"


    "Passing through this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s checkpoints need to be done in one breath! The more one drags, the less favorable! If Ye Yuan he continues dawdling, once his essence energy is exhausted, it will likely be very tough to push through the first level!"


    "I really didn''t expect that a heaven''s chosen like Ye Yuan would actually suffer a crushing defeat in the first level!"


    For a time, the people surrounding and spectating all discussed in low voices. With the passing of time, they were clearly less and less optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    People''s hearts were always like this. Ye Yuan rose up extremely fast like a comet. Some of the sects'' old ancestors more or less still had some jealousy in their hearts.


    Now, seeing Ye Yuan about to be eliminated in the first level, although they would not express it too obviously, there was still some gloating in their words and between the lines.


    How could Ren Xingchun not discern the gloating over other people''s misfortunes in these people''s words? He was even more panicky in his heart.


    Ye Yuan, what the hell are you doing?! Could it be that with your strength, you can''t even make it past the first level? Ren Xingchun said anxiously in his heart.


    Time slowly trickled by. The names remaining in the first level became progressively lesser.


    But among these people, practically nobody could charge into the second level. The names all directly vanished. Evidently, they were already sent out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Finally, the last name in the first level apart from Ye Yuan''s vanished, kicked out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    In the first level, only Ye Yuan alone was left!


    At this time, the second level was densely covered with people, while in the first level, Ye Yuan''s name became extremely eye-catching.


    "Ye Yuan''s strength is still very powerful among Sea Transformation Realms. He actually persisted for a day and night already! It''s just that, who knows how long he can sustain in the end! The first level has a time restriction of only three days. If one is unable to make it to the second level within three days, they will still get kicked out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda."


    "The demonic beasts around the entrance to the second level will become increasingly more. For Ye Yuan to want to make it through, it''s probably riddled with numerous difficulties!"


    . . . . . .


    Different from how these people imagined, the demonic beasts around the entrance to the second level was already less than lesser!


    In the first level, only Ye Yuan alone was left. He had free rein and unleashed the Thousand Flowing Petals, willfully reaping the lives of those demonic beasts.


    The petals which filled the sky were like locusts. Areas they passed through, no living thing was spared!


    Ye Yuan initially thought that these demonic beasts could not be killed completely. But after he slaughtered for an entire day, he finally noticed that these demonic beasts became thinly scattered.


    Very clearly, the number of the demonic beasts was reducing!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that these demonic beasts would automatically converge at the entrance to the second level to attempt to stop him from entering the second level.


    However, Ye Yuan''s goal was not the second level at all. It was to kill these demonic beasts to obtain that nameless energy.


    "I wonder what kind of effect there will be by killing all the demonic beasts in the first level!" Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    Of course, increasingly lesser was just relatively speaking.


    Around Ye Yuan, there were still countless demonic beasts surrounding him now. Even if Ye Yuan wanted to break out of the encirclement now, it was already impractical.


    At this time, there were already no other martial artists in the first level. Just Ye Yuan alone left.


    And these demonic beasts seemed to sense it, converging around Ye Yuan unceasingly.


    Even though the total number of demonic beasts was reducing, in the radius of the local area, the demonic beasts were increasingly more!


    But Ye Yuan did not mind at all. These demonic beasts were entirely unable to approach his body.


    . . . . . .


    Just like this, Ye Yuan spent two days constantly in the midst of slaughter!


    Only Ye Yuan could sustain for two days under such a high-intensity essence energy consumption.


    If it were others, they would have died long ago from essence energy exhaustion.


    Since he wanted to kill off all the demonic beasts, Ye Yuan naturally made preparations long ago. Hence, he was very sparing when using essence energy.


    But, even so, his essence energy was already close to rock-bottom at the end of these two days.


    The demonic beasts became lesser and lesser, but Ye Yuan''s attacks clearly became sluggish too.


    "Huff . . . Looks like I still have to expend one medicinal pill!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    He initially thought that he could rely on his body''s essence energy to sustain. Who knew that the number of demonic beasts in this first level was too terrifying. Slaughtered for two days and did not finish killing either!


    At this time, if Ye Yuan still did not consume medicinal pills to restore essence energy, he was already unable to carry on sustaining.


    Ye Yuan''s finger twitched. A medicinal pill appeared in his hand.


    Yet, just as Ye Yuan was planning on swallowing the medicinal pill, a scene which left him dumbfounded occurred!


    That medicinal pill was actually like weathered away by the wind, breaking down into powder!


    A light breeze blew, and it vanished.


    "F*ck me! No way, right? Could it be that inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda, usage of medicinal pills isn''t allowed? Why didn''t anyone tell me before!" Ye Yuan could not refrain from cursing.


    Unreconciled, Ye Yuan took out a medicinal pill again. Indeed, it was immediately eroded by the wind!


    "This time, I really made a blunder!" Ye Yuan stared wide-eyed and his mouth agape at the thing that happened before his eyes as he said with a bitter smile.

 554 Instant-Cast Martial Technique!

    Ye Yuan daring to fight a battle of attrition here, his greatest reliance was medicinal pills.


    But Ye Yuan never would have expected that this Vast Heaven Pagoda could actually erode the medicinal pills that he refined with just the wind.


    This was simply something unheard of!


    Without medicinal pills to replenish essence energy, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was going to be depleted very soon.


    This was still his first time encountering such a bizarre thing. For a moment, he did not know what he should do either.


    Could it be that he was really going to be killed by these Tier 2 demonic beasts because of essence energy exhaustion?


    If he was transported outside, wouldn''t it become the entire Endless World''s joke?


    Even though Ye Yuan did not care about other people''s views, this kind of failing method, even he himself was unable to accept it too.


    "Damn it! Fight it out!"


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and completely erupted all of his remaining essence energy!


    For a time, innumerable petals enveloped Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan pushed the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to the limits, refining the nameless energy that was absorbed into his body!


    The process of martial artists'' cultivation was actually the process of splitting open the dantian.


    When not using martial techniques, the circulation of the essence energy in the body would form a circulatory cycle, reaching a delicate equilibrium with the outside world''s heaven and earth quintessence.


    But once martial techniques were used, the expenditure of essence energy within the martial artist''s body would increase drastically. The speed of converting the outside world''s quintessence to become the essence energy within the body simply could not catch up to the speed of consumption.


    The more powerful the martial technique, the more enormous the expenditure on essence energy. Replenishing it would become slower.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s control regarding essence energy was extremely great, for a martial technique like the Thousand Flowing Petals, the consumption was very large too.


    Only Ye Yuan could utilize this martial technique for two days straight.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s absorption speed already could not keep up with the consumption speed. Only by refining these nameless energies into essence energy could he resolve the imminent danger.


    Through two days of absorbing, inside Ye Yuan''s body already accumulated considerable nameless energy.


    But in comparison to Ye Yuan''s current expenditure, the nameless energy converted to become essence energy was just as if trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.


    But right now, Ye Yuan already did not have other alternatives. He could only make a last attempt to remedy a hopeless situation. Lasting a while longer was a while. At least it was better than being exhausted to death, right?


    It was better than being kicked out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda, and then him explaining to others that he postured, wanting to kill finish all the demonic beasts in the first level. And that this resulted to his essence energy being depleted and him getting killed by demonic beasts


    Under Ye Yuan''s frenzied refining, those nameless energies were finally converted to become essence energy bit by bit, flowing into the essence energy sea.


    These essence energies entered the essence energy sea arbitrarily, fusing together with that trace of essence energy which Ye Yuan refined previously. Adding it up, it was merely as big as the rim of a bowl.


    Seeing this sort of situation, Ye Yuan could not help smiling bitterly.


    This tiny bit of essence energy wasn''t enough for him to sustain a while at all!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he slaughtered demonic beasts for two days and two nights, and he actually just accumulated this tiny bit of nameless energy.


    Wasn''t this thing too precious?


    Before long, the Thousand Flowing Petals which Ye Yuan cast before this was finally depleted.


    Those demonic beasts charged forward once again without fear of death. Ye Yuan was helpless and could only revolve his cultivation method, mustering up the essence energy in his essence energy sea which was converted from that tiny bit of nameless energy.


    Yet, something which made Ye Yuan awkward happened once more. He revolved his cultivation method and actually only mustered a tiny drop of nameless essence energy!


    "The f*ck? No way, right? This is too much of a scam! What can one drop of essence energy do?" Ye Yuan nearly broke down.


    He killed demonic beasts so painstakingly until now just for the sake of collecting this nameless energy.


    In the end, he could actually only mobilize a drop of essence energy. This was simply such irony.


    If he were eliminated like this, Ye Yuan would really have to find a place to enter closed-seclusion for twenty years and be too embarrassed to exit seclusion.


    But at the next instant, Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted.


    After that drop of essence energy entered the meridians, it suddenly vanished.


    Ye Yuan had yet to react when an even more horrifying Thousand Flowing Petals when compared to before appeared without any signs just like this.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The Thousand Flowing Petals erupted abruptly, practically sweeping away clean the surrounding demonic beasts instantaneously.


    "This . . . What kind of situation is this?"


    This time, Ye Yuan was struck utterly senseless.


    Ever since entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, too many things that exceeded his expectations happened, virtually more than what he could handle.


    And everything that happened before his eyes clearly made him unable to understand too.


    One drop of essence energy could actually erupt out such a terrifying attack?


    Furthermore, him unleashing the Thousand Flowing Petals this time was practically completed instantly.


    Could it be that this type of essence energy could instant-cast martial techniques?


    Moreover, the Thousand Flowing Petals this time, regardless of whether was it power or range, it was all much more powerful than what he used previously.


    Even though it was somewhat incomprehensible, without any doubt, Ye Yuan picked up a treasure!


    One had to know that when martial artists used martial techniques, no matter how pure and simple, it was also impossible to achieve instant-cast.


    Essence energy exit the essence energy sea and circulate within the meridians according to the martial technique''s method, working in concert with heaven and earth quintessence, and then releasing them out. In-between this, it had to go through a series of transformations.


    And this sort of transformations naturally needed time to be executed.


    The more powerful the martial technique, the more time required as well.


    Very clearly, under the situation where the power of the martial technique was the same, the shorter the time taken to cast the skill, the more advantageous!


    And this type of essence energy could not only achieve instant-cast martial techniques, but it also seemed to have the effects of promoting and strengthening the martial technique. It was seriously too perverse.


    "Heh. Looks like expending such a long time wasn''t a waste at long last," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    As he said, he deployed that nameless essence energy again. Thousand Flowing Petals erupted abruptly once more, massacring a mass of demonic beasts!


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan is indeed formidable. To actually be able to last until three days! Even though he can''t pass through the first level, it''s also sufficient to be proud."


    "Still have two hours, and it will be three whole days. Even if he''s still unscathed, he''ll still get kicked out automatically by the Vast Heaven Pagoda."


    "Looks like he also knows that he can''t clear it, so he found a place to rest and rehabilitate to quietly wait for three days'' time to be up."


    "Such a pity. A genius like this actually didn''t even clear the first level."


    In the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm, everyone was discussing excitedly.


    Some really felt pity for Ye Yuan, while others were gloating over his misfortune.


    But no matter what, they all did not think that Ye Yuan could pass through the first level.


    Regardless of what reason Ye Yuan had to hold-up in the first level, three days'' time was also plenty for him to finish settling it.


    Those martial artists who were in the second level now, there was a small portion who was at the Sea Transformation Realm too. Even they were able to clear the first level, but Ye Yuan was unable to clear it. That could only show that Ye Yuan''s strength was lacking.


    Ren Xingchun''s old face was black as the bottom of a pot. He never would have thought that the Vast Heaven Pagoda journey this time, they came in a jolly mood but returned home disappointed. They were going to head back home so soon.


    And the Ye Yuan he pinned high hopes on actually could not even clear the first level!


    "About to hit three days right away. It''s already hopeless for Ye Yuan!"


    "Yeah. Such a pity! En? You guys, look! Ye Yuan''s name disappeared! Three day''s time is up!"


    "Ye Yuan is probably already transported out. Let''s go find him then."


    "Hang on, you guys look, Ye Yuan''s name appeared in the second level! He . . . He actually passed through at the last moment!"

 555 Continue Killing Finish!

    "This stinking brat! Gave me a fright!" Ren Xingchun finally heaved a sigh in relief secretly in his heart.


    Even if he had experienced countless great storms and waves, his heart still leaped to his throat earlier.


    If Ye Yuan were to be kicked out like this, then his face would be trashed badly.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan finally charged into the second level at the final juncture!


    "What kind of situation is this? Ye Yuan he actually charged into the second level at the last moment!"


    "Yeah. If he long had this strength, why not enter earlier? But if he didn''t have this strength, how did he charge inside ultimately?"


    "This Ye Yuan is really . . . He''s clearing the Vast Heaven Pagoda while actually teasing with this kind of thrill . . ."


    One had to acknowledge that Ye Yuan teasing with this roller-coaster ride had indeed made many people have a feeling of plummeting from above the clouds, exhilarating to the max.


    Actually, many people were already prepared to watch the spectacle. In the end, Ye Yuan just had to clear the first level.


    This made those people preparing to watch a show suddenly feel very bored.


    "That''s not right. Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan''s strength, it''s impossible to not clear the first level. But why did he only rush in at the last moment? Just what on earth is he doing inside?" Qin Hongtao was similarly very convoluted by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    Their thinking previously was also all very simple. They thought that Ye Yuan''s essence energy was not abundant enough, or that only his explosive power was great and actually his endurance was lacking.


    Thinking carefully about it now, Ye Yuan should not be like this.


    But for such a long time, what in the world was Ye Yuan doing in the first level?


    Qi Hai''s gaze was glued fixedly on Ye Yuan''s name. All of a sudden, he had some guesses.


    "This boy wouldn''t be tempering himself inside, right?"


    . . . . . .


    Somewhere in the second level, Ye Yuan pointed a finger and killed a lion-form demonic beast. His brows could not help furrowing.


    "Is the second level''s guardian demonic beasts the Aurora Electric Lion? That''s pretty hard to deal with!"


    The Aurora Electric Lion is a kind of Tier 3 demonic beasts. Not only was its speed unbelievable abnormal, its attacks even carried lightning-attribute, rather nasty.


    An Aurora Electric Lion was naturally nothing much to Ye Yuan. But at the thought of that horrifying number in the first level, even Ye Yuan could not help shuddering.


    Although the demonic beasts in the Vast Heaven Pagoda were not corporeal bodies, their attributes and strength were no different from the outside world.


    Fortunately, the multiple Aurora Electric Lions that Ye Yuan killed were all just initial-stage Tier 3. If this level was all initial-stage Tier 3 Aurora Electric Lions, it might not be without the possibility of duking it out.


    Even so, the difficulty of this second level threw the first level behind by several grades.


    Tier 3 demonic beasts and Peak Tier 2 demonic beasts were on an entirely different level!


    "No wonder Lu Linfeng only made it to the seventh level too. Advancing upwards at this degree of difficulty, how terrifying would it be when arriving at the ninth level!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    Thinking it over, Ye Yuan still decided to enter the third level after killing off all the demonic beasts.


    The allure of the nameless essence energy was seriously too great to Ye Yuan.


    Previously at the first level, he only used several drops of nameless essence energy and killed all of the demonic beasts.


    After absorbing those demonic beasts'' nameless energy, Ye Yuan discovered that his own realm could no longer be kept in check, so he went with the momentum and chose to broke through.


    With this breakthrough, Ye Yuan directly charged to peak Third Level Sea Transformation, just a bit more to reach First Level Sea Transformation.


    Ye Yuan shockingly discovered that this nameless essence energy actually had the effect of hewing open his essence energy sea!


    Originally, according to his estimations, Third Level Sea Transformation should have a 90 feet essence energy sea. But now, Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea already opened up to 100 feet circumference!


    One should not look at how it was just a circumference of ten feet. For Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea to open up and to form perfect spirit condensation, even just opening up a fraction more was also extremely, extremely difficult.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea previously was already around the same as the Divine Realm''s pinnacle young geniuses.


    Now, cleaving open a circumference of ten feet more, it already surpassed those geniuses with absolute certainty!


    Ye Yuan discovered that this nameless essence energy was truly incomparably mysterious.


    Apart from instant-casting martial techniques and amplifying martial techniques, it actually had the effect of opening up his essence energy sea!


    He had no idea just what was the origin of this nameless essence energy, and what other functions did it still have. But Ye Yuan dared to assume that this type of essence energy was absolutely a heaven-defying level treasure!


    At least in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan had never heard before any kind of special essence energy that could have so many enhancement effects!


    Ye Yuan was increasingly curious about this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s origin. It was simply a treasure vault!


    Ignoring other things, just this nameless essence energy was enough to make all martial artists go crazy.


    After musing for a moment, Ye Yuan started making his way to the second level''s inner region.


    Due to the others entering two days earlier than him, they were probably about to rush into the third level at this time. This entrance area was naturally already void of people.


    But Ye Yuan learned to be more cautious this time. He absorbed and refined the nameless essence energy while killing the Aurora Electric Lions so as to maintain sufficient essence energy.


    With the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s prowess, as long as Ye Yuan did not over expend it like at the first level, the problem of essence energy drying up would not arise.


    Ye Yuan planned to kill a batch of Aurora Electric Lions first, then absorb a portion of nameless energy and make use of the momentum to break through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation. He would then head for the entrance to the third level.


    These Aurora Electric Lion contained a trace of nameless energy too. Moreover, it was much stronger compared to the first level''s demonic beasts. If he could kill off all the Aurora Electric Lions in the second level, Ye Yuan could refine a lot of this type of nameless energy even while expending them.


    . . . . . .


    At the third level''s entrance area, dozens of martial artists were surrounded by numerous Aurora Electric Lion. The battle situation was very alarming.


    In the fight, there were martial artists killed by the Aurora Electric Lions every now and then and transported out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    At this second level, the martial artists were all feeling increasingly pressured. Even Soul Sea Realm experts were no exception.


    Even though these Aurora Electric Lion could not threaten them, for them to want to be as leisure as in the first level was not doable.


    Qin Yan casually slashed out a sword and killed multiple Aurora Electric Lions. But his gaze was looking at the Liu Hong ahead.


    "I don''t know where this person popped out from. His strength is actually so formidable! An itinerant cultivator can actually cultivate to such a level too?" Qin Yan said.


    "I have a feeling that he''s still preserving strength now. He should be planning on using it at the back!" By the side, Guo Taoqun had a solemn look too.


    "Heh heh, which of the three of us don''t have our own trump cards? When the time comes, we might have to use them in order to charge into the fifth level!" Qin Yan said smilingly.


    Guo Taoqun nodded slightly and suddenly said, "Oh, right, after I separated from Ye Yuan at the first level, I never saw him all this while. Have you seen him?"


    Qin Yan was stunned and only came back to his senses now. He shook his head and said, "I''ve really not seen him. With his strength, he should have reached here long ago!"


    "Yeah. I looked for trouble competing in the speed of killing demonic beasts one time at the first level with him. The result was utter defeat! I feel that even that Liu Hong might not be faster than Ye Yuan either!" Guo Taoqun said.


    Qin Yan laughed in spite of himself and said, "You were really taking the road to ruin! Ye Yuan''s prowess isn''t just reflected by killing a Soul Sea Realm! Forget it, he shouldn''t need us to worry. Let''s enter the next level quickly. The demonic beasts here are getting more and more now."

 556 Indeed Deliberate

    "It''s that Liu Hong again. He''s the first one to enter the third level!"


    "This Liu Hong is so strong. To actually overpower the Three Sects'' head disciples twice and be the first one to charge into the next level!"


    "Just what is this Liu Hong''s background? To actually be so powerful?"


    "Allegedly, he came from a small sect. But the sect he was from was destroyed later on. He should have obtained some fortuitous encounter afterward. That''s how he can have his current strength."


    Fame can be a double-edged sword. The originally unrecorded and nameless Liu Hong shot to fame in just one move this time. His history was naturally dug out very quickly too.


    The Three Sects choosing these itinerant martial artists naturally would not select them casually. They would definitely impose stringent screening on these martial artists, including their past.


    No matter what, overpowering the Three Sects'' head disciples twice in a row was plenty for him to become the subject of everyone''s talk.


    One time could be said to be a coincidence. If it was twice, then it probably was not what a coincidence or luck could explain.


    In comparison, Ye Yuan who was the hottest topic in the beginning was no longer popular at this time.


    Nobody would pay attention to a failure. Ye Yuan entering the second level with a buzzer beater was already not viewed optimistically by many people.


    This Vast Heaven Pagoda had always been about fighting for number one. It had yet to be heard of who wanted to fight for the last place.


    Originally, everyone was all anticipating Ye Yuan creating a miracle. But now, they focused their gazes on Liu Hong.


    Actually, the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s first three levels did not have much worth to see.


    There was not the slightest bit of suspense about prodigious talents like Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua passing through the first three levels.


    If one had to say what was worth watching, it was only who would be the first one to charge into the next level.


    Originally, everyone was the most optimistic about Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan actually stayed in the first level alone for three whole days!


    Later on, everyone focused their eyes on the Three Sects'' head disciples and did not expect a huge dark horse to actually charge out, overpowering the Three Sects'' disciples.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda''s trial this time could be said to among the most exciting and exhilarating times. It was opened for others outside the Three Sects.


    To the Three Sects, they obviously did not wish for their own disciples to lose in their own territory.


    But to the itinerant cultivators and the other sects, they did not say it verbally. They earnestly wished for somebody to step forward and wreck the Three Sects.


    This mentality of sour grapes, many people had it.


    Hence, when everyone saw that Liu Hong was the first one to charge into the third level, each and every one of them was like being injected with stimulants, praising him to the skies.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan was currently following a routine: killing monsters and training, continuously absorbing and converting the nameless essence energy.


    After a day, a horrifying essence energy storm howled within the beast horde.


    The essence energy storm was extremely turbulent, strangling the nearby demonic beasts to death in succession.


    After a day of slaughter, the nameless essence energy in Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea already accumulated to the size of two bowls.


    The nameless energy contained within the Aurora Electric Lions'' bodies were clearly much more than the first level''s demonic beasts. Ye Yuan only used a day''s time and accumulated to around the first level''s nameless essence energy.


    After a period of time, Ye Yuan broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation smoothly. His essence energy sea surged once again, reaching a circumference of 150 feet!


    "This nameless essence energy is indeed incredible! With my current essence energy potency, winning, even killing Second Level Soul Seas, shouldn''t be any problem! But there is an extremely wide gap between each Soul Sea Realm''s small boundary. Although I broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation now and I might have the power to contend with Third Level Soul Seas, to match up against Fourth Level Soul Seas, it''s absolutely impossible to win." Ye Yuan estimated his current strength.


    All along, Ye Yuan could basically cross a major realm to fight the enemy.


    Even when facing the disparity between the Lower Three Realms and Middle Three Realms, he could completely ignore it too.


    But with the increase in realm, his limitations of crossing boundaries to battle clearly became increasingly more too.


    The huge disparity between Soul Sea Realm and Sea Transformation Realm was seriously too great. Ye Yuan wanting to match up against Fourth Level Soul Seas with Fourth Level Sea Transformation basically did not have too much hope.


    "This nameless essence energy is extremely powerful. If it can erupt instantaneously, it might be able to severely wound those at the Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm. But the nameless essence energy, using a bit, will make them a bit lesser. Unless it''s a last resort, best to not use it," Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Although the nameless essence energy was powerful, the biggest issue was that it could not be produced again.


    Regardless of how Ye Yuan absorbed the outside world''s essence energy, it had no way of converting into the nameless essence energy.


    The nameless essence energy could only be a trump card. Unless there were no other alternatives, it could not be used.


    Previously, Ye Yuan used over a dozen drops in the first level. That already gave him unbelievable heartache.


    "With my present strength, I should be able to sweep away these Aurora Electric Lions! Other people entered the third level two days before me. In addition to yesterday''s one day, three days have passed. They should all have already entered the third level. It''s time to go to the entrance area to the third level. This second level''s time limit is the same: three days. I still have two day''s time."


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved. Thousand Flowing Petals was executed along, and he rushed over towards the entrance area to the third level.


    After breaking through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation, Ye Yuan''s spirit, qi, and vitality all reached the peak state. His essence energy sea was three times bigger when compared to at the Second Level Sea Transformation!


    In his current state, even if he did not utilize essence energy, it was also sufficient to kill off all the Aurora Electric Lions!


    . . . . . .


    Two days later, Ye Yuan became the topic of discussion once more. Because he stayed a full three days in the second level one more time.


    The other people already charged into the second level on the first day and used two days to charge into the third level. Which was also to say that Ye Yuan was now three whole days slower than them now!


    "What is it with this Ye Yuan? Stayed a full three days in the second level again. He wouldn''t be treating clearing the checkpoints like a vacation, right?"


    "Wonder if he can charge to the third level at the last moment this time or not."


    "This . . . It''s really hard to say. If he can still rush in at the last moment this time, then it should be deliberate. It''s just, I don''t know why he needs to stay a full three days."


    "Who knows. The time is about to arrive! En? Name disappeared. Quickly see if he entered the third level or not!"


    "There! Indeed there! What is he trying to do? Why must he insist on staying a full three day''s time on each level?"


    This time, nobody doubted if Ye Yuan had the strength to pass through anymore.


    The first time could be said to be a fluke. But entering at the same time the second time, it was clearly intentional.


    Except that nobody could figure out what Ye Yuan was trying to do.


    "This stinking brat. What the hell is he doing? Teasing with this sort of thrill each time! What if it just missed by a bit? Wouldn''t it waste all the previous efforts?" Ren Xingchun panted heavily once again and could not refrain from grumbling.


    They could not be blamed for this either. After all, there had never been anybody who would do this sort of foolish thing, killing off all the demonic beasts at each level.


    Even now, nobody thought that Ye Yuan was actually doing such a thing as well.


    They felt that Ye Yuan definitely found a place to hide and made use of the eleventh hour to spurt towards the next level.


    "Huhu, City Lord Ren, calm down. Ye Yuan isn''t a frivolous person. Him doing this surely has his reasons. In this Vast Heaven Pagoda, it''s also not whoever clears the round fastest can walk to the end," Qi Hai reminded Ren Xingchun, suddenly appearing beside him.

 557 Hes Different from You Guys

    "Oh? Old Hai, is it possible that you know what Ye Yuan is doing inside?" Seeing Qi Hai''s attitude, Ren Xingchun was slightly surprised.


    Qi Hai smiled slightly and said, "Ye Yuan''s level is different from the others. The things that he sees are naturally different too. There are countless demonic beasts in the first level and second level. Furthermore, these demonic beasts are not corporeal bodies, an excellent venue for training and tempering. If my conjectures are correct, he should be borrowing these demonic beasts to temper himself. That''s why he would hang on to enter the next level each time."


    Ren Xingchun''s eyes went wide. Even though he was very confident in Ye Yuan, wasn''t this too exaggerated?


    Even Soul Sea Realm martial artists did not dare to stay in a level for too long. Ye Yuan dared to stay alone until the time was almost up?


    Furthermore, without other people pinning them down, how did he charge past alone?


    "Old Hai, even though Ye Yuan''s strength is pretty good, he''s at the Sea Transformation Realm after all. Training inside like this, I''m afraid that his essence energy can''t sustain!" Ren Xingchun said tactfully.


    These words sounded like concern on the surface, but actually, it was reproaching that Ye Yuan was messing around too much.


    So many demonic beasts inside, if his essence energy were exhausted and he got eliminated, just how unjust of a matter would that have to be!


    If he was really eliminated, forget about him, this City Lord; even Ye Yuan himself would not be able to preserve his face either!


    "Huhu, you this old man are losing yourself in concern. Furthermore, this grandson of yours, you yourself probably still don''t have much understanding. Ye Yuan appears very impetuous when doing this, even somewhat disregarding consequence. But after the matter, you''ll discover that he already calculated every single thing. Him stopping the Purple Mansion Sect, detaining Qin Hongtao''s grandson, eradicating the Heavenly Evil Sect, which incident wasn''t carried out after scheming? Relax, this boy will be fine!" Qin Hongtao said very affirmatively.


    Ren Xingchun thought about it. It seemed to be truly as Qi Hai said.


    His understanding of this grandson of his was really pitiably little. Of course, this was also related to Ye Yuan deliberately keeping him at a distance.


    This boy''s temper was even worse than his. The two people frequently could not even see eye to eye. If he did not yield in the end, this boy could even poke a hole in the sky!


    Qi Hai was very confident in his judgment. But he could not dare dream that Ye Yuan''s final goal was actually to kill off all the demonic beasts in a level either!


    If he knew what Ye Yuan was doing inside, it was uncertain if he could still be so composed.


    . . . . . .


    After entering the third level, Ye Yuan suddenly noticed that it was much more spacious.


    Within the first level and the second level, it was densely populated with demonic beasts. Especially the first level, that sort of density simply gave people a feeling of their scalp tingling. Just those numbers made people feel despair.


    But after Ye Yuan entered the third level, he suddenly discovered that the demonic beasts did not seem to be as many as before.


    He had already entered this level for some time and actually did not even see a single demonic beast!


    It could not be to the extent where these demonic beasts were all killed by other people, right?


    Ye Yuan was three days behind the rest. So, at this time, the third level should have already been void of other people long ago.


    The other martial artists should have already cleared the third round or were already kicked out.


    Which was also to say that currently in the third level, there was only Ye Yuan alone!


    The one and only person!


    "Strange. Even if this third level''s demonic beasts would have some reduction, it can''t be diminished to such an extent either, right? Just what on earth happened?" Ye Yuan said depressedly.


    Since he could not meet demonic beasts, Ye Yuan simply just flew towards the entrance to the fourth level.


    Ye Yuan was also rather looking forward to it now. Because after clearing the third level, there would be an interim reward.


    If it was before coming in, Ye Yuan absolutely would not be looking forward to it like so. Because cultivation methods and martial techniques and whatnot, he really was not lacking any of them.


    Just the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was enough for him to cultivate to the Divine King Realm. Why would there be a need to take such a superfluous action to learn other cultivation methods?


    Even if he knew that Lu Linfeng soared from here, Lu Linfeng''s level was merely just slightly stronger than him.


    To really talk about interest, Ye Yuan was just interested in the things after the sixth level.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s thinking completely changed.


    This Vast Heaven Pagoda was too mystical, to actually have this sort of thing like the nameless energy. Then what would the rewards for the first three levels be?


    Because the path was free and unobstructed, Ye Yuan''s speed was exceptionally fast. He only used two hour''s time and was about to reach the fourth level''s entrance already.


    However, everything before his eyes left Ye Yuan staring wide-eyed and his mouth agape.


    "F*ck me. Are you shitting me?" Ye Yuan looked at the scene before his eyes and could not help rolling his eyes.


    . . . . . .


    At the same time, in a nameless space, a group of martial artists was currently discussing fervently.


    "Finally passed the third level and can obtain the first stage''s reward!"


    "Yeah. Although the demonic beasts'' rank only increased a small boundary with each round cleared, it feels more than several times more powerful! This fourth level, I can''t clear it no matter what!"


    "Those Blue Sand Beasts were really hard to tangle with! I almost succumbed in the third level! If I couldn''t even pass the third level, this trip would be considered wasted."


    "Yeah. The Blue Sand Beasts are extremely formidable existences among Tier 3 demonic beasts too. Although the few of us are Soul Sea Realms, being surrounded by so many Blue Sand Beasts was really enough for us to die."


    Very clearly, the third level gave considerable pressure to these Soul Sea Realms.


    One should not look at how each level''s demonic beasts only raised by a small boundary. The increase in the degree of difficulty was not simple.


    Facing never-ending attacks, no matter how powerful the martial artist, they would be exhausted to death too.


    Ye Yuan''s control over essence energy was so subtle and he nearly screwed himself to death, let alone other people.


    Furthermore, these demonic beasts were not ordinary demonic beasts. Their strength in the same rank was very formidable too. If one did not have the corresponding strength, they would simply be unable to breach through the encirclement.


    Entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, a total of 300 people entered. Yet, only less than 20 people were still inside this nameless space right now.


    These people were all the same; they were all all Soul Sea Realm experts. Sea Transformation Realm martial artists were already wrecked by those demonic beasts until not even dregs were left.


    The only Sea Transformation Realm martial artist surviving was just Ye Yuan alone.


    Right at this time, an archaic voice suddenly sounded out, "Welcome to the inheritance space. Congratulations to everyone for successfully clearing the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s first three levels. I''ll give you each your corresponding rewards according to your performances in the first three levels."


    Guo Taoqun was the second to enter the nameless space. After entering the nameless space, he had been staring at the entrance all this while, wanting to see Ye Yuan''s silhouette.


    But sadly, he did not even see a freaking shadow all the way until this voice sounded out!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan really failed?


    But how was this possible?


    Guo Taoqun and Qin Yan exchanged glances, both looking absent-minded.


    Just what in the world happened to Ye Yuan, to actually fail?


    "May we ask Senior, there should still be one of us who hasn''t arrived yet, right?" at this time, Yin Yanhua suddenly spoke.


    Everybody fell silent. They all knew who Yin Yanhua was talking about.


    "He''s different from you guys," said the voice, after musing for a moment.

 558 Different in What Way

    "Damn. Is this to let I, Little Lord, to review the troops? So many Armored Diamond Bulls are here just to wait for me?"


    Only seeing the scene before his eyes did Ye Yuan finally know why he did not run into demonic beasts along the way.


    All the demonic beasts were already gathered here, waiting in battle formation!


    In front of Ye Yuan, it was all herds of large black bulls as far as the eyes could see, stretching to infinity.


    These big black bulls were blazing with anger and seething with killing intent as if they had long been awaiting him.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was still currently unaware that what those people previously encountered were all Blue Sand Beasts and not the Armored Diamond Bulls!


    This Armored Diamond Bulls belonged to the category of extremely formidable existences among Tier 3 demonic beasts.


    The skins of these large black bulls were coarse. They had thick flesh. Ordinary attacks simply had no way of penetrating their defense!


    Under normal circumstances, even peak Crystal Formation Realm human martial artists had no way of breaching middle-stage Tier 3 Armored Diamond Bulls'' defense too!


    One could imagine just how freakish this demonic beast was.


    More importantly, this type of demonic beasts even had the bull-species'' savageness. Its offensive power was extremely formidable.


    Ordinary martial artists, even if they got grazed, the outcome would be exceedingly wretched too.


    Of course, no matter how powerful the Armored Diamond Bull was, it was merely just a Tier 3 demonic beast. To those at the Sea Transformation Realms and Soul Sea Realms, they were not worth mentioning at all.


    Yet, Armored Diamond Bulls which blotted out the skies and covered the earth was an entirely different matter!


    If what those people previously encountered were Armored Diamond Bulls, it would be pretty good to have five people managing to get past it.


    It was precisely because he knew these Armored Diamond Bulls'' prowess that Ye Yuan could not resist swearing and have a myriad of profanities running through his head.


    If he could use medicinal pills, Ye Yuan would not fear these savage bulls at all. But without the support of medicinal pills, the result was hard to say.


    This was a very spectacular image. On one side were massive black bull herds blotting out the skies and covering the earth. On the other was a frail youth.


    The visual impact of this image was incredibly intense. The two sides formed a strong contrast!


    Ye Yuan in front of this sea of Armored Diamond Bulls was a feeble existence like a small rowboat, possible to capsize at any moment.


    "However . . . killing these large raging bulls should be able to obtain considerable nameless essence energy, right?"


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out the Xuanying Sword and accumulated his power, waiting to make a move.


    "Come on, large raging bulls!"


    Ye Yuan gave a clear cry. A Half-Moon Slash cleaved out domineeringly!


    "Roar!"


    Roaring sounds that reverberated throughout the skies emitted from these bulls'' mouth, vibrating until Ye Yuan''s eardrums hurt.


    At the same time Ye Yuan raised his sword, those Armored Diamond Bulls moved too!


    They charged towards Ye Yuan without heed for anything. That imposing manner could really topple mountains and overturn the seas!


    Rumble!


    Half-Moon Slash stuck close to the ground and flew over towards the Armored Diamond Bulls, cleaving a large gouge in the ground!


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The places where the Half-Moon Slash passed through, the Armored Diamond Bulls were completely decimated and wiped out.


    Just one move and several hundred Armored Diamond Bulls were killed.


    But sadly, several hundreds did not even count as a single hair from nine oxen to such a massive bull herd.


    Ye Yuan was very unsatisfied at the effects of this attack. The defense of these large savage bulls was not ordinary at all. If they were to be other demonic beasts, this attack should be able to cut down up to a thousand.


    If he attacked like this, his essence energy expenditure would be much fiercer!


    Even though his present essence energy sea already expanded to a circumference of 150 feet, the strength of the demonic beasts rose by a lot too.


    If he continued expending essence energy like this, he would not be able to take it either.


    "Coarse skin and thick flesh. Indeed, not easy to deal with!" Ye Yuan sighed with a vicissitude of emotion.


    The attacks of these large black bulls, Ye Yuan was not very concerned. He had comprehended the Concept of Wind Flow. Under such circumstances, it was even easier to avoid those large black bulls'' attacks. These large black bulls simply could not touch him.


    The problem was how much consumption could his essence energy take?


    Unless there were no other alternatives, Ye Yuan did not wish to employ the nameless essence energy. Expending the nameless essence energy in such a place was truly too regretful.


    He was not worried about these large black bulls'' attacks now. But once his essence energy ran out, the attacks of these large black bulls would be terrifying.


    Ye Yuan slaughtered the Armored Diamond Bulls non-stop while he was coming up with countermeasures.


    . . . . . .


    In the inheritance space, those martial artists had blank looks.


    "Different from us? What does that mean?"


    "Could it be that Ye Yuan still hasn''t been eliminated now, and he''s still in the midst of clearing the rounds?"


    "No way, right? Already six, seven days have passed here. He should be in the third level right now. His clearing speed is so slow. He''s not even equal to us!"


    Very clearly, these people all knew that the mysterious person and Yin Yanhua were talking about the same person; it was Ye Yuan.


    However, the mysterious person''s appraisal made these people all very displeased.


    If Ye Yuan entered ahead of them, then forget it. But it was very clear right now that Ye Yuan was inferior to them.


    Even if he was not eliminated, what could such slow clearing speed explain?


    In these people''s thinking derived from experience, it was still whoever entered the next level faster, the better. Nobody would be foolish enough to stay behind to kill off all the demonic beasts in a level.


    Hearing the mysterious person''s appraisal, Liu Hong frowned slightly too.


    Before coming to the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he already planned properly. This time, he must shock everyone in one move, and to overpower the Three Sects'' head disciples!


    Now, he accomplished it!


    Clearing the rounds twice consecutively, he was the first person to enter the next level!


    And the competition at the back, he believed that he would not lose as well.


    But now, what did this mean?


    That punk called Ye Yuan was not here at all. Could it be that Ye Yuan was even more incredible than him?


    Liu Hong was a shockingly talented itinerant cultivator. After his sect was destroyed, he obtained a peak Divine Traversing Realm expert''s inheritance by chance.


    During the past years, he had been cultivating bitterly in closed-seclusion all along and finally acquired a certain level of achievement.


    Coincidentally, the Three Sects opened up the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time. Liu Hong naturally had to come and give it a shot in order to advance further.


    His horizons were exceedingly high now and were long already not that small sect''s disciple back then.


    Liu Hong''s current goal was very clear. He wanted to ascend to the Divine Realm!


    Right at this time, the Three Sects opened up the Vast Heaven Pagoda too. This was simply a god-sent opportunity!


    "Even the heaven wants me, Liu Hong, to soar to the skies with one leap! What reason do I, Liu Hong, have to refuse?" This was Liu Hong''s first reaction after getting this news.


    In Liu Hong''s view, this Vast Heaven Pagoda was specifically opened up for him.


    Otherwise, why was it not opened up sooner or later, but it was opened to the public right at the critical juncture of him exiting seclusion?


    Troubled times create heroes. He was surely the hero created by this era!


    But what was the meaning of the words said by this mysterious person?


    Could it be that this Ye Yuan was actually even more special than him?


    Liu Hong had been in closed-seclusion all along. He was very uninformed about news and completely did not know just what kind of existence Ye Yuan was.


    In his eyes, the Three Sects'' head disciples were the targets that he had to surpass.


    "Senior, I wonder how is he different from us?"


    Even since entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Liu Hong had been moving alone the entire time. But this time, he finally could not resist voicing out.


    Yet, when he opened his mouth, the Qin Yan trio all looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.

 559 Vast Heaven Stele

    Different how?


    Too different!


    Only the Qin Yan trio who had personally experienced Ye Yuan''s terror knew how monstrous Ye Yuan was!


    The other people, including all the Soul Sea Realms present, only heard about Ye Yuan from other people''s mouths.


    These people were all proud children of heaven. Who would truly be convinced by a genius that they had only heard of before?


    Let alone that this so-called genius was even so much slower than them to enter the inheritance space!


    "You all don''t need to ask anymore. When the time comes, you''ll naturally know. Now, prepare to receive the rewards."


    The mysterious person''s hollow voice sounded out once more as if it was not interested in replying Liu Hong''s question at all.


    Right at this time, several dozen streams of light shot down from the air, suspending in front of everybody.


    After a short while, the light faded away. All kinds of rewards suspended before their eyes quietly.


    The other people tossed Ye Yuan''s problem to the back of their minds very quickly. No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, it had nothing to do with them in the slightest either. But these rewards were real.


    "Hahaha! This is a Tier 5 cultivation method! It can cultivate all the way to Peak Divine Traversing Realm! This cultivation method is way stronger compared to our sect''s main cultivation method! It can be used as the sect''s supreme treasure!"


    "This . . . This is . . . Three Gods Nine Cries Pill! The effect is . . . improving the meridians, increasing 10% cultivation speed! Hahaha! Really picked up a treasure! A medicinal pill with such effects is simply unheard of! Too heaven-defying!"


    "This . . . This is a profound artifact? Even though it''s a low-grade profound artifact, the quality is exceedingly high!"


    . . . . . .


    On these treasures, all of them had simple inscriptions, telling these martial artists the functions.


    The way these people saw it, these rewards were already very incredible. Just a cultivation method was already much stronger than their sect''s.


    These things were all very heaven-defying existences when brought outside. No wonder the final accomplishments of the people who walked out from here were all extraordinary!


    But these treasures clearly had the distinction of good and bad too.


    In comparison, cultivation methods were the best, medicinal pills were second, and finally, weapons were the lousiest.


    Cultivation methods could be regarded as a legacy treasure. This martial artist taking it out could even establish a sect!


    Medicinal pills could aid cultivation, especially medicinal pills which improved the meridians. This was simply a heaven-defying treasure.


    As for weapons, it was merely just external objects. Even though it could improve strength in a short time, it was ultimately just an assistance.


    Martial artists'' prowess ultimately relied on oneself.


    Of course, if one was so powerful, having a heaven-defying weapon was naturally something superfluous.


    "Qin Yan, what''s that of yours?" Guo Taoqun asked.


    "Martial technique! You?"


    "Mine is martial technique too! Moreover, it seems to be a martial technique custom-made for me!" Guo Taoqun said rather excitedly.


    For them, unless it was a heaven-defying class cultivation method, otherwise, they would not take fancy of it at all.


    But martial techniques were different. A powerful martial technique could even boost their combat power several times over!


    And the four of them including Liu Hong all obtained a martial technique!


    Even though Liu Hong overwhelmed Guo Taoqun they all, the disparity was very small.


    Even though Liu Hong was formidable, in terms of combat power, he might not be much stronger than Guo Taoqun they all. As for the specifics, without going through a fight, there was simply no way to speculate.


    Bang!


    A gigantic stone stele descended from the sky and landed in the inheritance space.


    "The Vast Heaven Stele! It''s the Vast Heaven Stele! It finally came out!" seeing that stele, a martial artist immediately cried out agitatedly.


    When Qin Yan trio saw this stele, they were rather excited too.


    "Alright. The time flow rate here is one-fifteenth of the outside world''s. You all have one day''s time to contemplate the Vast Heaven Stele! How much you can comprehend will be up to your fortune. After fifteen days, you all will automatically enter the fourth level. If you want to study the Vast Heaven Stele again, you must clear the sixth level. You guys try your best!"


    When the mysterious person finished talking, he did not make any more sound again.


    But the others were already not interested to bother with him. The time to contemplate on the Vast Heaven Stele was too precious. Not a single second could be wasted!


    For a time, the inheritance space was dead silent. They all started contemplating on the Vast Heaven Stele.


    . . . . . .


    When the others were currently studying the Vast Heaven Stele, Ye Yuan was currently in the heat of battle in the third level!


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword: Myriad Rain Sword Blades!" Ye Yuan growled. Ten thousand sword blades rushed towards the black bull herds like raindrops!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The power of the Myriad Rain Sword Blades was seriously too strong. This one move down was akin to the wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Waves of Armored Diamond Bulls turned into flying ash.


    Ye Yuan''s current essence energy sea was already three times bigger than before. But this move still expended close to one-third of his essence energy!


    This move was powerful. It just cost too much essence energy.


    One-third essence energy was even more than the total essence energy when he was fighting Dai Yuhen!


    The power of this move could be seen at a glance!


    Those Armored Diamond Bulls were hailed as impervious to swords and spears. But under this move of Ye Yuan, it was like paper; they were utterly unable to withstand it even in the slightest.


    The sword blades directly pierced through far into the distance before gradually vanishing.


    The power of condensed form of gathered essence was not what these Tier 3 demonic beasts could withstand.


    This sword slashing down, most probably tens of thousands of Armored Diamond Bulls were instantly killed.


    But the problem was that these Armored Diamond Bulls did not have their own consciousness at all. They totally did not know what was called being afraid!


    The place of those large black bulls killed were very quickly filled in by their companions that charged at Ye Yuan once more without fear of death.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and did not attack either. His figure moved, fluttering like a piece of paper.


    No matter how ferocious those raging bulls'' attacks were, it could not touch the corners of his sleeves!


    Even though the Armored Diamond Bulls'' natural endowments were extraordinary, in terms of dodging, how could they be mentioned in the same breath with the Ye Yuan who comprehended the True Intent of Wind Flow?


    Ye Yuan shuttled back and forth within the bull herd, like fish in water.


    At this time, Ye Yuan used the Wind Flow True Intent in the Concept of Wind and the Transmission True Intent in the Concept of Fire at the same time, lowering the essence energy consumption to the minimum.


    At the same time, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art within his body was revolved to the limits, recovering essence energy frenziedly!


    Just like this, Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea was slowly recovering!


    Roughly the greater part of an hour later, Ye Yuan''s expenditure previously was finally finished replenishing!


    Hence, Ye Yuan wielded Xuanying Sword. Myriad Rain Sword Blades was released once more!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Waves of Armored Diamond Bulls collapsed again!


    This was the method that Ye Yuan thought of in the end. Since medicinal pills were unable to be used, then he would absorb essence energy himself to recover!


    At this time, the powerful aspect of Ye Yuan''s cultivation method was manifested!


    How could ordinary cultivation methods possibly replenish the expended essence energy in such a short time?


    Furthermore, at the same time that Ye Yuan was replenishing essence energy, he was still expending a portion of it to maintain his movement technique.


    The essence energy within this Vast Heaven Pagoda was very plentiful. Ye Yuan absorbing it was accomplished with high proficiency. Just within a greater part of an hour and it would replenish completely.


    Just like this, every greater part of an hour passed, Ye Yuan would fire out Myriad Rain Sword Blades once, killing large groups of Armored Diamond Bulls.

 560 Gold-Colored Name!

    During these three days, Ye Yuan''s nerves have been in an extremely tense state the entire time.


    He was maintaining non-stop operation of two kinds of true intents under Heart Like Still Water heart realm, and he was also revolving the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to the limit!


    This burden was not an ordinary kind of difficulty; it was more than just being difficult!


    If he did not have the support of Heart Like Still Water heart realm, he would have given up long ago.


    Seeing as the three days limit was about to reach, the Armored Diamond Bulls in front of Ye Yuan were finally only left with the last batch.


    "Bye bye, big raging bulls!"


    At this instant, Ye Yuan pushed the Myriad Rain Sword Blades to the limits, directly expending the greater half of his essence energy!


    Rumble!


    After a series of slaughtering, the entire third level finally quieten down!


    "Huff . . . These large raging bulls were really hard to tangle with. But my harvest this time was also not an ordinary kind of big!"


    Apart from those nameless energies, Ye Yuan operated so many skills at such high-intensity; the benefits gained were naturally not few either.


    Ignoring the two true intents, his comprehension became even deeper.


    What made Ye Yuan wildly ecstatic was still heart realm!


    He felt that his Heart Like Still Water Realm was already approaching the bottleneck. Advancing a step further and it would be the Heart Like Monolith Realm!


    "Heart realm breakthroughs are extremely, extremely difficult. If without suitable opportunities, not breaking through for life is also a possibility. This bottleneck isn''t that easy to cross!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    One would become insatiably greedy upon tasting the benefits. Heart Like Still Water Realm had brought too many benefits and assistance to Ye Yuan.


    Hence, when he saw hopes to reach the Heart Like Monolith Realm now, he naturally very much hoped to be able to break through.


    However, even though Heart Like Still Water Realm to Heart Like Monolith looked to be a step away, many Divine Kings were not able to cross it!


    This step was way too difficult!


    "Forget it, let nature takes its course. This kind of thing can''t be imposed on. When the opportunity arrives, one will naturally break through. To be able to cultivate Heart Like Still Water Realm to this stage, it''s already very lucky."


    Following the breakthrough in heart realm, Ye Yuan became more open-minded about such things too.


    Resting slightly for a short while, Ye Yuan headed for the entrance leading to the inheritance space.


    . . . . . .


    "Quickly look! Ye Yuan entered the inheritance space too!"


    Following the disappearance of Ye Yuan''s name, somebody shouted.


    They were originally already not optimistic about Ye Yuan and did not think that Ye Yuan actually would reached this step by persisting alone!


    Unrivaled geniuses were unrivaled geniuses. Regardless of where, one should not look down on him! Otherwise, one''s face would get slapped!


    Those people initially planning to watch the joke were secretly gloomy in their hearts too.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s clearing speed was slow, he would always succeed in passing through at the last moment. This was clearly done intentionally by him.


    "Want to enter, then enter. The other people already came out from the inheritance space long ago and entered the fourth level! With Ye Yuan''s strength, clearing the first three rounds isn''t something impressive, right?" Some people said scornfully.


    Ever since they knew that Ye Yuan did it deliberately, those people originally skeptical no longer doubted Ye Yuan''s strength.


    What they were curious about was why Ye Yuan wanted to do this.


    When Ren Xingchun saw this scene, the smile on his face could not be held back anymore. The corners of his mouth curled by a small arc.


    The City Lord Manor''s people were already eliminated finish. Now, there was only Ye Yuan alone.


    But Ye Yuan was the City Lord Manor''s biggest chip!


    Ever since hearing Qi Hai''s words, Ren Xingchun already firmly believed that Ye Yuan was the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance''s biggest dark horse this time!


    No, how could Ye Yuan be a dark horse?


    He was originally that strongest one!


    You people praise that whatever Liu Hong to the skies. Give it another few days and watch Ye Yuan slap your faces one by one for you to see. Let you all see what was called a true genius!


    Ren Xingchun was just beaming proudly to himself when all of a sudden, somebody exclaimed, "Quickly look! Ye Yuan''s name became golden color! What''s going on here?"


    This cry immediately startled everyone!


    Name becoming golden. This was something that had never happened before.


    What in the world did Ye Yuan do, for his name to actually become golden?


    The crowd looked towards Ye Yuan''s name. Indeed, they discovered that Ye Yuan''s name became gilded gold color; it was remarkably dazzling!


    Even if he was still in the inheritance space right now and was in the last place, that light could not be concealed either!


    This unexpected change made everyone extremely shocked. Especially the Three Sects'' old ancestors. Their faces all showed immense shock.


    From the Three Sects being established until today, they had sent many genius disciples over to this Vast Heaven Pagoda. But such a situation had never occurred before.


    Ning Yixian, Qin Hongtao, and Jing Xuan, the three of them exchanged glances. Evidently, they did not know what was happening as well.


    Finally, the three people focused their gaze on Qi Hai.


    Qi Hai''s seniority was even older than them. Furthermore, Qi Hai''s understanding of the Endless World was absolutely above the three of them. If even Qi Hai did not know what happened, then nobody knew.


    Qi Hai''s expression turned into a never-before solemness as he muttered, "This . . . This . . . can''t be, right? This . . . How is this possible?"


    "Old Hai, what in the world happened? What''s going on with Ye Yuan''s name?" Qin Hongtao asked anxiously.


    Everyone stared at Qi Hai, wanting to hear what kind of answer he would give.


    This sort of bizarre event, only Old Hai, this kind of accomplished master level expert, knew what was happening.


    Qi Hai did not answer them, but he fell silent for a long time, seemingly digesting this matter.


    Only after some time, did Qi Hai draw a deep breath and said slowly, "I didn''t expect, didn''t expect! Didn''t expect that the legend was actually true!"


    The people at the sides were already beyond anxious. Could your elderly self not pause when talking? Would saying things till the end in one breath kill you?


    Qi Hai looked at everyone and said rather disbelieving still, "Legend has it that this Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance''s rewards are given out according to the challenger''s completion rate. The higher the completion rate, the greater the rewards obtained too!"


    "Ah? There''s actually still such a saying? This Vast Heaven Pagoda''s round clearings wasn''t competing in who is the first to rush into the next level? All along, we''ve been competing like this!" said a Three Sects'' grand elder in surprise.


    Actually, it was not just him; everybody present here all thought that way.


    Hence, seeing that Ye Yuan was always the last one to successfully clear the round each time, they had long been pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    The reason why these people chased Liu Hong like so was precisely because he was the first one to rush into the next level each time.


    In normal understanding, Liu Hong was the number one person in this batch of people. Even the Three Sects'' head disciples could not compare either!


    But hearing Qi Hai said so now, they discovered that it seemed to completely not be the case!


    Even Qi Hai said that it was a legend. Who knew if it was real or fake?


    Qi Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I thought that way all along as well. But I somehow feel that the clearing method we thought of is a very grave error now!"


    "Old Hai, can you clear it up? This was all passed down by our forefathers. How can it be wrong? Since this is wrong, then what kind of clearing method is correct?" Ning Yixian said perplexedly too.


    Qi Hai''s expression froze, and he said solemnly, "The correct clearing method isn''t competing in speed but competing in . . . the number of demonic beasts killed!"

 561 Perfect Completion!

    "What?! Old Hai, you aren''t making a joke, right?"


    "Yeah! Old Hai, is there a mistake? The numbers of the demonic beasts in this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s first three levels are extremely terrifying. How can a bunch of Sea Transformation Realm and Soul Sea Realm juniors compete in killing Demonic beasts inside?"


    "Medicinal pills can''t be used to replenish essence energy inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Even the Three Sects'' head disciples will die from essence energy exhaustion from constantly killing inside the first level."


    Qi Hai''s statement was seriously too subverting; it was completely exceeding everyone''s understanding.


    Forget about the third level, just in the first level, it was also impossible for these sect disciples to stay inside for a long time.


    If they had that capability, the Three Sects'' disciples would have long slaughtered the first level clean. How could they possibly wait until today?


    "Heh heh, this old man just stated his view. Why is there a need for you all to approve? As for to believe it or not, it''s naturally up to you all," Qi Hai said with a cold snicker.


    Actually, he himself spent a very long time to digest this news as well. He obviously did not hope to convince these people with a few sentences.


    The reason why legends were legends was that it was practically impossible to accomplish.


    Hence, once a legend became a reality, it was basically very hard to make ordinary people believe.


    Because within the scope of their understanding, it was simply impossible for something like this to happen.


    "Old Hai, calm your anger. Old Hai''s meaning is that . . . actually, we got it wrong all along?" Ning Yixian saw Qi Hai flare up and hurriedly voiced out to advise.


    Qi Hai nodded and said, "In truth, these things, I came to know of it but naturally I don''t believe it either. With our age, it''s obviously impossible to enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda again to ascertain things for sure. But without a doubt, the average Sea Transformation Realm and Soul Sea Realm absolutely don''t dare to make extra stopovers in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Once they fall into a tight encirclement, it would basically be the outcome of getting kicked out. The Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance''s chance is extremely hard to come by. Nobody dares to make this sort of bet. And martial artists who were able to be the first one to charge into the next level were all the strongest one among them under normal circumstances. The number of demonic beasts killed was naturally the most as well. Hence, the reward they obtained was naturally the most generous. In the course of time, we fell into a misconception and think that the martial artist who enters the next level earlier would obtain more rewards."


    Even though the others did not believe, they were also listening to Qi Hai''s explanation very attentively.


    Qi Hai''s analysis was very on point. It essentially restored the truth of history to its original state and had immense convincing power too.


    While these people present still did not dare believe it, subconsciously, they still felt that Qi Hai''s analysis was not wrong.


    Ning Yixian''s eyes showed deep pondering, and he said, "So, it''s actually like this! But what does this have to do with Ye Yuan''s name turning golden?"


    Qi Hai drew a deep breath and said, "I heard the previous generation Realmlord said before, legend has it that in this Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance, there is a kind of completion rate called . . . Perfect Completion!"


    Ning Yixian''s pupils constricted slightly as he drew a cold breath and said, "Old Hai''s meaning is that . . ."


    The others had yet to react, but Ning Yixian''s brain spun the fastest. He virtually knew at the first moment what the Perfect Completion Qi Hai was talking about was.


    Previously, Qi Hai kept saying that the clearing rewards was related to the completion rate. The so-called completion rate was the number of demonic beasts killed. Then, what Perfect Completion meant did not need to be verbalized any further to understand it!


    Qi Hai nodded his head and said, "That''s right! If the legends are true, Ye Yuan he must have killed all the demonic beasts in the first three levels and obtained the Perfect Completion''s reward. Hence, that''s why his name would turn into gold-color!"


    "What? Ye Yuan killed off all of the demonic beasts?"


    "This . . . Is this what a Sea Transformation Realm can accomplish? The demonic beasts in each level are absolutely not beneath millions in number. Ye Yuan, a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist, how can his essence energy possibly sustain until killing off all the demonic beasts?"


    "Yeah! Moreover, all of this have to be achieved within three days! Which is also to say that Ye Yuan must expend essence energy constantly every second! Under the circumstances where he had no medicinal pills to replenish, this is simply something impossible!"


    Qi Hai''s words made everyone all burst into a discussion.


    Not that they did not believe Qi Hai''s words, but that his words were too outrageous.


    If Ye Yuan had Soul Sea Realm strength now, they would not feel that the so-called Perfect Completion was that impossible either.


    But Ye Yuan was only at the Sea Transformation Realm currently!


    Especially the third level. Those demonic beasts were only a major boundary lower than Ye Yuan. Numbers in the millions was an exceedingly terrifying force. How could Ye Yuan possibly kill finish alone?


    If they knew that what Ye Yuan killed was the extremely hard to tangle with, the Armored Diamond Bulls, it was uncertain what thoughts they would have.


    . . . . . .


    In the inheritance space, a light flashed. Ye Yuan was transported inside.


    "Young man, congratulations to you! You''ve become the first martial artist to achieve Perfect Completion in this ten thousand years and will obtain tremendously generous clearing rewards!" The mysterious person''s voice sounded out right away.


    At this time, the others had already entered the fourth level. In this inheritance space was just Ye Yuan alone.


    "Perfect Completion?" Ye Yuan could not help being stupefied when he heard that.


    "That''s right! You annihilated all of the demonic beasts in the first three levels. In the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance, it''s called Perfect Completion!" explained the mysterious person.


    Ye Yuan was enlightened. He only killed finish all the demonic beasts because he wanted to collect the nameless energy. To think that a Perfect Completion actually came from stumbling about blindly.


    However . . . he was the first one in this ten thousand years?


    Speaking of this, the difficulty of this Perfect Completion was really not an ordinary kind of big!


    Especially the third level. Those Armored Diamond Bulls were simply powerful until it could be said to be perverse. Even when the Spirit Bristle Divine King was young, he might not be able to clear it either!


    "So that''s how it is! May I ask Senior, what the reward of Perfect Completion is? Uh . . . cultivation methods and the likes of medicinal pills, forget it," Ye Yuan said.


    The mysterious person was clearly stunned by Ye Yuan''s such insolent and wildly arrogant attitude. The other people clearing three rounds consecutively, which one of them did not overflow with gratitude when seeing these rewards?


    Yet, just this punk was actually still so picky!


    "Young man, what high-sounding sentiments! Do you know what kind of heaven-defying items the cultivation methods and medicinal pills in this Vast Heaven Pagoda are?" The mysterious person''s words carried a hint of anger.


    In fact, the mysterious person truly did not plan on giving Ye Yuan cultivation methods and medicinal pills. But Ye Yuan''s attitude made him very displeased.


    However, Ye Yuan paid no attention to his displeasure. He said, "I know. But I''m really not lacking in cultivation methods and medicinal pills. Therefore . . . can it be exchanged for other things? If there seriously isn''t, changing medicinal pills to some precious medicinal herbs works too."


    "Is that so? If I insist on giving you cultivation methods and medicinal pills?" said the mysterious person, somewhat irately.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it''s like this, Senior better keep it for yourself. These two really don''t have much effect on me."


    Ye Yuan could also guess with his eyes closed that even if he achieved Perfect Completion in the first three levels, the cultivation methods and medicinal pills obtained also could not possibly be very heaven-defying items.


    At least, it was not possible to be more powerful than his Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, and it was also impossible to surpass his alchemy skills.


    Since that was the case, why did he need to waste time?

 562 Nine Characters True Word Formula

    A long, long silence . . .


    Ye Yuan did not rush that mysterious person. He just waited quietly.


    All of a sudden, several beams of light descended from the sky. Three talismans suspended in front of Ye Yuan quietly.


    "This is your reward. Three Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talismans! Each Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman is equivalent to a Peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artist''s all-out attack once! Additionally, there is still a martial technique. You open up your sea of consciousness now. The Vast Heaven Pagoda will imprint it into your sea of consciousness. You can slowly comprehend it," said mysterious person after falling silent for a long time.


    Seeing those three Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talismans, Ye Yuan''s eyes could not help lighting up.


    This was good stuff. If used well, it could even kill a Peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artist!


    Such a talisman was absolutely a heaven-defying class treasure in the Endless World.


    Ye Yuan''s research into talismans was not much. But he also knew that this kind of one-time attack talisman was exceedingly valuable. It was equal to storing an extremely powerful martial technique.


    This was undoubtedly an additional major killing tool to the current Ye Yuan!


    As long as he did not battle against peak Divine Traversing Realm experts, he could practically do whatever he wanted in the Endless World.


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, off-handedly keeping the three talismans into the spatial spirit artifact.


    But what made Ye Yuan even more curious was still this martial technique.


    Regarding imprinting in the sea of consciousness this sort of inheritance method, Ye Yuan was naturally not foreign.


    Any and all things passed down through this sort of method, the power was all extremely formidable. Furthermore, they were incredibly abstruse and hard to understand. It was because this sort of martial technique could only be understood but not expressed in words. It was simply unable to be inscribed into jade slips.


    "Now, you can begin receiving the inheritance!"


    Once the mysterious person''s voice faded, a stream of light shot out from the firmament and directly entered into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not fully open up his sea of consciousness. He shielded the golden characters and the black bead these things using mystic arts.


    One could not be without vigilance against others. Ye Yuan did not wish for his secrets to be pried by people.


    The light flashed, then faded. Ye Yuan instantly felt that inside his sea of consciousness had additional nine words: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Lie, Zhen, Qian, Xing!


    "This is the Nine Characters True Word Formula. Each word encompasses the maxim of the Great Dao. You should study it well! This martial technique is not some earth-shaking great skills, but it can develop the potential in the human body to the extreme. It is far from what ordinary martial techniques can be equated to.


    The mysterious person seemed to be worried that Ye Yuan did not know about the goods. That was why he talked a whole bunch to explain it.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled!


    He was an Alchemy Emperor of his generation in his previous life. His understanding of Heavenly Dao was exceedingly profound. How could he not tell that these nine characters contained the maxim of the Great Dao?


    With his horizons, he was actually unable to fully understand a single word!


    Just as the mysterious person said, this martial technique was not some earth-shaking great skill. But it was even more incredible than those things.


    Cultivating them to the peak, he would most probably have the capability of obliterating heaven and earth, even affirming one''s Dao and becoming a deity!


    The item rewarded from this Perfect Clear was indeed incomparable from normal rewards.


    Ye Yuan knew that this Nine Characters True Word Formula, even when placed in the Divine Realm, would probably stir up a bloody slaughter among martial artists too.


    "Thank you very much for Senior''s present! Ye Yuan is endlessly grateful!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said gratefully to the void.


    Yet, the mysterious person ignored him. The Vast Heaven Stele directly descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Yuan.


    "You cleared the first three levels perfectly. The time for comprehending the Vast Heaven Stele is three times of others, which is also 45 days'' time. Grasp it well!" sait the mysterious person coldly, and then no longer made a sound.


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling wryly. This mysterious person seemed to be throwing a little tantrum because of his contempt previously and did not want to respond to him.


    But Ye Yuan did not think too much either. His attention was very quickly drawn by the Vast Heaven Stele.


    The first impression that the Vast Heaven Stele gave Ye Yuan was . . . all-encompassing!


    As if this small stone tablet was the crystallization of myriad life on earth.


    Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Dao was far from what those rookies could compare to. But even he could not discern this Vast Heaven Stele''s origin.


    "This Vast Heaven Inheritance is truly unbelievably mystical. Could it actually be . . . an item left behind by a Deity Realm powerhouse? Disregarding this Vast Heaven Stele, even the Nine Characters True Word Formula and that nameless energy are top-notch inheritances when placed in the Divine Realm too!" Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    However, he had a feeling that within this Vast Heaven Stele, the most powerful object was none other than this stele before his eyes!


    On it was teeming with the aura of the Dao. It was simply a heaven-defying treasure.


    Ye Yuan put away his thoughts very quickly and entered Heart Like Still Water heart realm, sinking his divine sense into the Vast Heaven Stele.


    45 days'' time looked to be a lot, but to contemplate this stele, it''s something in the course of a twinkle. Having such a precious opportunity, Ye Yuan did not wish to waste it.


    Bang!


    Instantaneously, Ye Yuan was seemingly placed within a boundless sea of fire. His entire person seemed to be about to combust.


    Ye Yuan was dragged into this space right as his consciousness came into contact with the Vast Heaven Stele.


    This stretch of space, apart from flames, did not have anything!


    "Didn''t expect that what I will contemplate in is the Concept of Fire. It''s just who knows how much can be comprehended from the visualization this time!" Ye Yuan was also somewhat secretly looking forward to it.


    The Concept of Fire was actually the concept that Ye Yuan wanted to comprehend the most. In his previous life and this, he had a baffling affinity with fire.


    But yet, he used essence fire to an exceptionally profound realm but did not comprehend any kind of true intent involving fire.


    To think that this Vast Heaven Stele was actually this mystical, knowing what he needed, directly bringing him to a flame world.


    It''s just that these flames don''t seem to be that powerful. How should I comprehend true intent?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that the surrounding flames were not as powerful as imagined. It could not cause any harm to him at all.


    Under such circumstances, how should he comprehend concepts?


    "En? No, wait! The temperature of these flames is slowly rising. If one doesn''t pay attention, it won''t be detected at all!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered the abnormality and became alert.


    The surrounding flames suddenly became violent. Tongues of flames wantonly extended, as if it was going to devour everything!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan was engulfed by countless flame tongues, burning him to ashes fully.


    Coming back to his senses again, Ye Yuan was actually standing there perfectly well again, as if the same as when he just came in!


    The neither warm nor violent flames were currently blazing as if it was completely harmless to man and beast. But all of a sudden, the flames erupted abruptly, leaping up once more!


    "Is this wanting to burn me to death countless times to let me experience the flames'' Scorching True Intent personally? Heh heh, indeed a fine method! This Vast Heaven Stele is indeed mystical!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    That taste of being burned to death, Ye Yuan felt like he had experienced it in person. If he did not wish to be burned to death, then he had to comprehend the Scorching True Intent as soon as possible to be able to be spared from the torture of being immolated.


    Fortunately, although it was the consciousness which entered into the space inside the Vast Heaven Stele, Heart Like Still Water heart realm could still be used.


    Ye Yuan was not careless either, directly entering into the state of Heart Like Still Water Realm and started comprehending the Concept of Scorching Flames!

 563 Flame Movement Carnage!

    "This is already Ye Yuan''s third day inside this inheritance space, right? The reward of this Perfect Clear is truly incomparably bountiful!"


    "Yeah. The quintessence of this Vast Heaven Pagoda is the Vast Heaven Stele''s comprehension. Ye Yuan obtained Perfect Clear. The time is actually three times of others! I really don''t know what level Ye Yuan will reach after coming out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda!"


    "The inheritance space''s time flow rate is 15 times slower compared to the outside world. Which is also to say that Ye Yuan has 45 days'' time to go and comprehend the Vast Heaven Stele! With his talent, I really don''t know to what degree he can comprehend to!"


    Seeing that gilded name on the light projection, the audience all felt envious.


    To the vast majority of martial artists, the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance only had the opportunity to comprehend the Vast Heaven Stele once. It was because they simply could not make it past the sixth level.


    Which was also to say that how much could be comprehended after clearing the third level would be up to the martial artist''s own comprehension abilities.


    The time was only 15 days. Some people would be able to rely on this opportunity to soar to the heavens in one move, while others still remain lost in the masses.


    But without any doubt, to be able to obtain the chance to contemplate the Vast Heaven Stele, one would at least be a notable figure in a region!


    "City Lord Ren, congratulations! Your grandson is actually able to achieve the Perfect Completion in the legends. His gains this time is bound to be unbelievably startling. Wu Fang City''s position, nobody in the entire Endless World can replace it!" Ning Yixian went forward to congratulate.


    "Haha, not at all, not at all! This boy''s temper is stubborn as hell. This old man can''t tame him at all. I only hope that he doesn''t add more problems for me!"


    Although Ren Xingchun kept only grumbling in his words, the expression on his face betrayed him. Anyone also knew the delight in his heart right now.


    As it went, when one man attained the Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too. It was roughly this meaning.


    At this point, nobody suspected Qi Hai''s words anymore.


    The reward of this Perfect Completion was absolutely incomparably lavish!


    Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan possibly stop for three day''s time in the inheritance space?


    The momentum of Wu Fang City''s rise was already unstoppable. In the future, it might even overpower the Three Sects.


    Therefore, starting from just now, there were many people going forward to congratulate to express goodwill to Ren Xingchun, so as to establish a relationship with Wu Fang City.


    But toward this situation, the Three Sects'' old ancestors did not seem to have any displeasure.


    In truth, when they knew that Ye Yuan was Ren Xingchun''s grandson, the Three Sects knew that Wu Fang City was likely about to become the Endless World''s most special existence already.


    It was just that they did not expect that this day would actually arrive so quickly.


    If there weren''t the Fierce Gale World''s invasion, these three sects would surely think of ways to suppress Ye Yuan and not let Wu Fang City rise up.


    But being forced by the current situation, internal strife would only let the Endless World fall apart to pieces. The Three Sects'' old ancestors naturally did not dare to make a move without careful consideration. They were even the same as other people, going to build a connection with Ren Xingchun as well.


    In truth, everyone had a score in their hearts. If the Endless World were able to beat back the Fierce Gale World by luck this time, the Northern Domain''s topographical arrangements would undergo titanic changes too.


    . . . . . .


    Within the Vast Heaven Stele''s consciousness space, Ye Yuan was already the embodiment of a flame person at this time.


    Over 30 days had already passed from the very first time being ''burnt to death.'' And in these 30 plus days, he already ''died'' several hundred times.


    From the earlier survival of just at most few breaths of time, now he could already persevere for an entire day!


    The surrounding flame temperature was unbelievably high. If one did not know the Scorching True Intent, one would simply not be able to make it through very long.


    And the Scorching True Intent was also an extremely profound and powerful true intent. It was even harder to comprehend than Ye Yuan''s own Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword Intent.


    For ordinary martial artists, even for martial artists that cultivated fire-attribute cultivation methods, wanting to comprehend the Scorching True Intent was exceedingly difficult too.


    And the supreme true intent that evolved from the Scorching True Intent was even more absurdly daunting.


    This supreme true intent was also one of the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s greatest reliance to roam the Divine Realm unhindered. It could be seen how hard this true intent was to comprehend.


    If Ye Yuan could comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent, its power would be much more daunting compared to the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword!


    This was also one of the reasons why Ye Yuan was so interested in the Scorching True Intent.


    Another reason was naturally that he liked to play with fire inherently.


    As an alchemist, he naturally sowed inseparable destiny with fire.


    But an alchemist''s fire control and comprehending true intent were two entirely different concepts.


    Controlling fire was the manipulation of essence fire. As long as one had the corresponding seals, it would do.


    But comprehending true intent required understanding the original source of flames. What one comprehended was the Great Dao maxim of the fire element.


    Although fire control was also an extremely profound study to alchemists, compared to comprehending concepts, the degree of difficulty was still a little lower.


    If not like so, Ye Yuan would also not possibly have not comprehended Scorching True Intent until now.


    But within this Vast Heaven Stele''s consciousness space, Ye Yuan finally found the turning point for comprehension!


    Experiencing over 30 days of tempering, Ye Yuan finally fumbled out some knack to it.


    "Looks like this fire control and the True Intent of Fire are completely two extremes! The art of fire control is to produce a resonance with the essence energy within the body and essence fire, and from there, drive the essence energy for one''s own use. While the True Intent of Fire is to convert essence energy into the most fundamental form of fire to immolate the opponent with an exceptionally terrifying temperature! No wonder I couldn''t find the entrance threshold of the Scorching True Intent all this while. Looks like it was alchemist this occupation which misdirected me! If not for contemplating the Vast Heaven Stele this time, I''m afraid that I would still have to wander around inside this mistaken area for a long time! But looking at it now, 45 days should be enough!" Ye Yuan said with a vicissitude of emotion.


    Ye Yuan being ''burnt to death'' so many times was naturally also not dying for naught.


    Gradually, he touched upon some Scorching True Intent''s tricks as well and started to maneuver the essence energy within the body to simulate the Concept of Scorching Heat.


    "Argh!" Ye Yuan gave a miserable cry and was burnt to death by the flames once more.


    Very quickly, he obtained new life again and endured the broiling of this limitless flames once more.


    For so many days, Ye Yuan''s path of comprehension was not that simple. He went through a torment that the average person could not imagine!


    Even though this immolation would not really cause death, that kind of anguish made people go insane.


    This method of comprehension was for the sake of letting the martial artist clearly sense the Scorching True Intent with every inch of their flesh and skin. That kind of torment was even harder to bear.


    Furthermore, this kind of agony became clearer along with the true intent Ye Yuan comprehended becoming increasingly profound.


    Because in pace with the survival time extending, this agony was magnified limitlessly.


    If it were a normal person, they would long have been unable to bear it. They would withdraw out of this consciousness space themselves.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not ease up for even a moment, repeating this process of revival after death, and dying again after living, for hundreds of times!


    On the 45th day, Ye Yuan who had been standing still freely allowing the flames to burn finally had some movement!


    It was only to see him tightly clenching both fists, bending his body slightly, then abruptly blasting both fists out, akin to a flood dragon heading out to sea!


    "Flame Movement Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. All of a sudden, the entire consciousness space trembled. The flames which originally filled the entire consciousness space actually scattered and disappeared into nothingness under Ye Yuan''s one punch!

 564 Illusionary Spirits Killing Array!

    Inside the inheritance space, the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly. His consciousness had already withdrawn out of the Vast Heaven Stele.


    It could be discerned from Ye Yuan''s expression that he was still pretty satisfied with the power of that one punch earlier.


    "My sword moves are mostly long-distance attacks. Close-combat has always been the weakest link. But with the Flame Movement Carnage, my close-combat abilities now are rather impressive as well! This Vast Heaven Stele is indeed mystical, to actually be able to let people comprehend true intent with this kind of method. Truly remarkable!" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Ye Yuan comprehended the Scorching True Intent and created this Flame Movement Carnage move in these 45 days. This was what he completely did not expect before this.


    Ye Yuan had close ties with the Spirit Bristle Divine King in his previous life and had a clear understanding of both the Scorching True Intent''s comprehension difficulty and power.


    Therefore, prior to this, Ye Yuan actually did not have confidence in comprehending true intent at all.


    It was just that he did not expect that this consciousness space was very mystical, to actually be able to let people comprehend concepts through such a method of experiencing true intent personally.


    This Flame Movement Carnage was a martial technique that Ye Yuan created himself. He formed his own style.


    In terms of power, this move, apart from Myriad Rain Sword Blades, was already not weaker than his other martial techniques!


    Listening to it did not seem to be anything impressive, but one had to know that this move was still a move released with the Scorching True Intent.


    Once Ye Yuan made further progress and comprehended the Scorching Supreme True Intent, how terrifying would the power of his moves be?!


    Although this move was not as outrageous as the Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon, the power could not be underestimated either. More importantly, this move compensated for Ye Yuan''s close-combat weak point, making his combat abilities even more comprehensive!


    Flame Movement Carnage this move was executed by converting the essence energy into Scorching True Intent and storing it in the fist. Once it landed on the other party, it could pour in the extremely scorching energy into the other party''s body, causing tremendous damage from there!


    With Ye Yuan''s bizarre and agile movement technique, coupling it with the Flame Movement Carnage was absolutely formidable to the extreme!


    Furthermore, the area-of-effect of this move is extremely small, so the essence energy expended was very little. Ye Yuan''s control over essence energy was extremely precise in the first place. Using this move could entirely be sustained for a very long time.


    If he had comprehended this move before this, the first three levels would not need to be so taxing at all.


    "It''s time to go to the fourth level!"


    Three days was almost already up. Ye Yuan had comprehended the Scorching True Intent too. He obviously would not stay here on top of that.


    All of a sudden, the inheritance space trembled abruptly. A vortex suddenly appeared behind Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was sucked into the vortex without the slightest precaution.


    "This brat, to actually dare look down on this venerated self. Serves you right to suffer some hardship!" at this time, within a nameless space, a faint black shadow said with a cold snort.


    Hearing the voice, who could it be but that mysterious person?


    Looks like he was still very displeased with Ye Yuan''s haughty attitude!


    "However . . . this boy actually comprehended the Scorching True Intent within such a short time. Truly staggering talent! His talent is not at all inferior to Master''s!" muttered the mysterious person to himself again.


    The mysterious person also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually directly visualized out the Scorching True Intent.


    In the beginning, he still felt that Ye Yuan was reaching too far beyond his grasp. After all, this Scorching True Intent was famed for being hard to comprehend.


    Even for some normal true intent, comprehending them requires more than ten years as well. And this standard was still applicable to Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, their level of geniuses.


    To ordinary martial artists, they would not be able to comprehend even an extremely simple true intent for all their lives.


    To ordinary people, true intent was a height that they would be unable to reach for all their lives.


    The Scorching True Intent was an extremely high-end existence among true intents. Even if one''s talent was startling, comprehension time was also calculated in units of decades.


    Unless one''s talent was heaven-defying until the mysterious person''s master''s height, otherwise, it was absolutely reaching beyond one''s grasp.


    Even though the mysterious person was very pleased with Ye Yuan''s performance in the first three rounds, he was still not optimistic about Ye Yuan being able to fully comprehend the Scorching True Intent within a short 45 days!


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s performance made him wide-eyed and dumbfounded with shock!


    Right at the beginning, Ye Yuan was burnt to death by the flames very quickly. The mysterious person was still secretly taking delight in his misfortune by the side.


    But a few days later, he could not laugh anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s improvement speed was too rapid!


    From several breaths to several dozen breaths. Then to 15 minutes, an hour, two hours. Ye Yuan''s improvement speed practically climbed vertically!


    Over a dozen days later, the mysterious person was long already staring woodenly with his jaw slack.


    At the rate of this improvement speed, maybe Ye Yuan could really comprehend the Scorching True Intent within 45 days!


    When Ye Yuan''s Flame Movement Carnage was executed, the mysterious person almost jumped up.


    Ye Yuan really did it!


    He completely comprehended the Scorching True Intent!


    Within 45 days, from being instantly killed to fully comprehending the Scorching True Intent; just how heaven-defying a talent did this require?!


    How could there be such a freak in this world?


    "Heh, this brat is really interesting! I increased a bit of difficulty for him previously in the third level. To think that he still finished perfectly. Now, he even fully comprehended the Scorching True Intent during the first reward. Truly remarkable! Looks like he really cares not for cultivation methods and medicinal pills. This brat''s soul force isn''t weak. Could he be an alchemist still? If that''s true, then this boy will really be heaven-defying! This venerable has guarded here for countless years. Finally, I encountered an interesting youth! In these countless years, this is still the first time that I''m so looking forward to a youth!" said the mysterious person to himself.


    . . . . . .


    "Ouch!"


    Ye Yuan gave a miserable cry, landing heavily onto the ground.


    "This fellow is actually so petty! I merely just didn''t want his cultivation methods and medicinal pills, and he actually restrained my essence energy, directly throwing me into the fourth level!" Ye Yuan rubbed his buttocks and stood up.


    Right away, Ye Yuan guessed that it was the mysterious person playing tricks.


    But this fall was really heavy. Even with Ye Yuan''s physique, he cried out in pain too.


    However, after entering the fourth level, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was already recovered. Slightly circulating essence energy a bit, the pain instantly disappeared.


    "En? The fifth level''s entrance is actually right there? What the hell is with this fourth level? Why isn''t there anything at all? Could it be that that mysterious person saw that this Young Master is incomparably talented and that the fourth level couldn''t stump me, so he directly guaranteed me to enter the fifth level?" Ye Yuan guessed very cockily.


    This fourth level was greatly different from the first three levels. It could be seen through at a glance. The fifth level''s entrance was not far ahead. Ye Yuan could go over with a few leaps.


    Furthermore, this fourth level''s layout was different from before. It seemed to be an illusionary space. The surrounding was void of anything.


    "Who cares. Head over first before talking!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan opened up his footsteps and directly walked over towards the fifth level''s entrance.


    Yet, he had just walked for not very far when all of a sudden, several dozen phantoms descended from the sky, encircling Ye Yuan in the center.


    "Illusionary Spirits Killing Array, activate now!" said one of the phantoms faintly.

 565 Cracking the Formation with Migh

    Seeing those phantoms, Ye Yuan could not help turning solemn.


    "Illusionary spirit bodies!"


    That middle-aged man at the helm was stunned hearing that as well and said rather surprisedly, "Young man, you actually know about the illusionary spirit body. Indeed, you have some knowledge and experience. No wonder you could perfectly clear the first three level."


    The so-called illusionary spirit body was created by refining the divine soul spiritual body with an extremely special method into a virtually undying, imperishable state.


    This sort of illusionary spirit body was exceedingly hard to tangle with. Because they were very difficult to kill.


    Even when blasting them into dregs, they could still restore their original appearance very quickly.


    Unless the martial artist''s realm was much higher than the illusionary spirit body''s and used a mighty arcane ability to utterly annihilate them, that was how one could kill them.


    Ye Yuan had very in-depth research into the divine soul before and saw through at one glance that these people were illusionary spirit bodies.


    "Uh . . . Senior, you actually have your own consciousness!"


    Hearing this middle-aged man actually speak to him, Ye Yuan was stunned as well.


    As far as he knew, illusionary spirit bodies generally had their consciousness wiped by others, becoming an unfeeling killing machine.


    Yet, these people in front of him had intelligent eyes. Clearly, they had their own consciousness. This unwittingly made Ye Yuan greatly surprised.


    "Looks like you know quite a bit! Relax, we were refined to become illusionary spirit bodies out of our own accords and at the same time preserving our own consciousness," said the middle-aged man.


    "Willingly?" Ye Yuan could not help being amazed.


    The process of refining an illusionary spirit body was exceedingly tortuous. Even for the divine soul spirit body, that anguish could also overwhelm people until they wished for death.


    Moreover, to refine an illusionary spirit body, one must kill the other party in front of them, and extract the soul to undergo refinement. The method was exceptionally cruel.


    It was precisely because of so that this sort of method was classified as a forbidden art in the Divine Realm. Once it was discovered that somebody refined an illusionary spirit body, they would be rallied upon and attacked together.


    These illusionary spirit bodies before his eyes were all actually refined out of their own free will. This truly gave Ye Yuan a surprise.


    "That''s right! We received the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner''s great grace while we were still living. But because of an accident, all of us fell. The Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner made it at the last moment and killed the adversary. That''s how we were spared from the outcome of our souls dissipating." The middle-aged man seemed to be very spirited and actually chatted with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan only came to a realization after hearing it. But he said doubtfully again, "With the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner''s means, even if he couldn''t revive you guys, finding a couple of bodies to let you all take possession to revive should still be achievable, right?"


    The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Certainly! It''s just that we weren''t willing, that''s all. Back then, the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner gave us two options. One was to let us take possession and revive. The other was to become this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s guardian spirits. The few of us discussed it and finally still decided to become the guardian spirits!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Since these people were willing, then he was naturally disinclined to poke a finger into other people''s affairs as well.


    "Senior, just what kind of person is this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner?" Ye Yuan could not hold back the puzzlement in his heart, and he inquired.


    "I can''t talk about this. If you have an affinity with this Vast Heaven Pagoda, you''ll naturally know in the future," said the middle-aged man.


    Looking at the middle-aged man''s appearance, Ye Yuan knew that he could not inquire anything either. He clasped his hands and said, "Make a move then, Senior."


    The middle-aged man looked at Ye Yuan and said smilingly, "Even though I find you, this brat, rather pleasing to the eye, we won''t pull our punches!"


    "Senior just feel free to take action will do!" Ye Yuan did not care a whit.


    These illusionary spirit bodies before his eyes were clearly not just Sea Transformation Realm strength. But they suppressed their realms at the middle-stage Sea Transformation without exception, matching theirs with Ye Yuan''s realm.


    The power of the array was released, and Ye Yuan sensed a pressure blotting out the heaven and earth approaching.


    With Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience, he could naturally discern that these illusionary spirit bodies formed a set of array formation!


    Furthermore, this set of array formation, Ye Yuan actually had not seen before!


    But using his butt to think, even he could also figure out that the power of this array formation was bound to be extraordinary.


    "Young man, take this!"


    A cold light flashed. Countless streaks of sword light assailed towards Ye Yuan.


    With this attack, Ye Yuan knew that the difficulty of this round rose more than just a tiny bit compared to the first three levels.


    Even though it was much lesser in numbers, in terms of quality, it was more than a level stronger.


    Although the first three levels were challenging, that was only in terms of demonic beasts numbers. On a small-scale, it simply had no way of stopping Liu Hong and Qin Yan these people.


    But wanting to charge out of the formation in this fourth round, without some capabilities, one probably could not pass it.


    However, Ye Yuan''s current goal was not just to make it through, but it was to thoroughly crack the array formation, even going as far as to kill all of these illusionary spirit bodies!


    Having tasted the benefits of Perfect Clear, Ye Yuan was naturally unresigned to just simply succeed in clearing the round.


    The fourth, fifth, and sixth level, these three levels, he wanted to perfectly clear them too!


    The allure of the Vast Heaven Stele was seriously too great!


    "Heh heh, just comprehended the Flame Movement Carnage. Perfect for trying it this time!" Ye Yuan chuckled lightly, his figure instantly becoming strange.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan unleashed three punches in succession, directly scattering aside all of the sword shadows!


    "Scorching True Intent! Fine lad!" The middle-aged man''s shock was by no means small.


    This array formation of theirs killing middle-stage Sea Transformations was no different from pinching an ant to death. But now, it actually could not form an effective attack in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan just relied on the Flame Movement Carnage and actually utterly suppressed all of them!


    This involuntarily made the middle-aged man feel very aggrieved. This fourth level''s mission was to make them suppress their boundaries to the same level as the challenger. They were simply unable to unleash the strength that they should have.


    Initially, with their Martial Path cultivation and coupled with this set of array formation, suppressing opponents at the same realm was simply like playing around.


    But he never could have expected that Ye Yuan''s true combat strength far surpassed his own realm. Moreover, Flame Movement Carnage this move was extremely powerful. It was simply unrivaled in front of those at the same realm!


    If not for their Martial Path experience being very abundant, that strike just now would already have let Ye Yuan directly crack the array formation.


    With the middle-aged man''s visual prowess, he could obviously tell that with their present strength, they were simply incapable of stopping Ye Yuan from entering the next level.


    Right at this time, a voice sounded by the middle-aged man''s ear, "Kuai Liang, raise the threshold to the late-stage Sea Transformation!"


    Kuai Liang''s eyes lit up, and his face could not help showing an amused look.


    This voice came from none other than precisely that mysterious person.


    "Okay!"


    Very clearly, the others received the same order too.


    In an instant, these people''s auras skyrocketed, instantly breaking through the middle-stage Sea Transformation, and rising to the late-stage Sea Transformation!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not refrain from saying disdainfully, "Senior, can you all still be like this when guarding the pass? Isn''t it too shameless?"


    Kuai Liang chortled with laughter and said, "Young man, we can''t be blamed for this. Want to blame, blame for yourself for being too monstrous! Come on!"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said with a laugh, "Senior is thinking too much. Do you think that by advancing to late-stage Sea Transformation, you can stop me from cracking the formation? Are you ready? I''m coming!"


    Kuai Liang''s smile froze abruptly on his face.


    "Quick! Combine attacks and kill this boy!"


    This blow of Ye Yuan''s carried tremendous power. The might of one punch actually made even him feel somewhat of a shudder!


    Bang!


    Just one punch shattered the grand array which Kuai Liang presided over into smithereens!

 566 Fifth Level

    The might of that fist was dreadfully powerful!


    In the past, when Ye Yuan encountered array formations, he would think of cracking them first.


    But this time, he did not!


    In order to test out the power of the Flame Movement Carnage, he threw a punch over crudely just like this!


    This punch collided head-on with Kuai Liang without the slightest bit of gaudiness.


    The result was Ye Yuan''s complete victory!


    One had to know that behind Kuai Liang there was the support of an array formation. What Ye Yuan faced was not him alone, but it was the entire array formation.


    Yet, this punch directly blasted everyone flying!


    "Apologies for offending, Senior. This Ye wants to clear the round perfectly and have no choice but to kill you all!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, and a punch rumbled towards Kuai Liang once more.


    "Fine lad! I''ll wait for you at the next level!"


    At this time, the grand array was simply unable to finish forming. The late-stage Sea Transformation Kuai Liang when facing Ye Yuan only had the chance to close his eyes and await death.


    "Okay. Let''s meet at the fifth level!"


    Ye Yuan said verbally, but his attack was not careless at all, directly blasting Kuai Liang into residue with a punch.


    Regarding the other people, Ye Yuan followed suit as well, disposing them one by one.


    Without the combined power of the array formation, these late-stage Sea Transformation illusionary spirits simply could not cause any threat to Ye Yuan.


    After these illusionary spirits were killed by Ye Yuan, they did not appear again. They vanished.


    Since Kuai Liang said to meet again in the next level, it naturally showed that the next level was even harder and that he would not appear again.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either and directly entered the fifth level from the passageway.


    . . . . . .


    "Quickly look! Ye Yuan entered the fifth level! Why is it so quick?"


    "Hiss . . . He spent three days in all the first three levels before making it through. But in this fourth level, he actually didn''t even use 15 minutes? Isn''t this too exaggerated?"


    "Right now in the fifth level, there''s only Liu Hong the four of them. They stayed in the fourth level for quite a few days. Ye Yuan he . . . actually passed through instantly!"


    Ye Yuan''s name only stopped in the fourth level for a very short time before directly showing up in the fifth level. This gave everyone a huge shock.


    About Ye Yuan being able to clear the fourth level, these people already did not have objections long ago. But nobody could have expected that Ye Yuan''s clearing speed would actually be so swift.


    "What''s this boy . . . playing at again?" Ren Xingchun said somewhat perplexedly.


    "Huhu, if my conjectures are right, Ye Yuan might have reaped considerable gains in the inheritance space, and his strength had a very great improvement. Hence, his clearing speed is this quick," Qi Hai said.


    "I think so too. But doesn''t this boy want to clear the round perfectly anymore?" Ren Xingchun said.


    "How can Perfect Completion be that easy? After the fourth level, the difficulty will get increasingly greater. Wanting to clear the round perfectly is practically impossible. Looking from Ye Yuan''s performance previously, him clearing perfectly in the first three levels was probably very strenuous as well. Or else, he would not have passed through right on the time limit each time either. Now, he definitely knows that he''s incapable of clearing perfectly. Hence, that''s why he would choose to charge through directly," Qi Hai said.


    Ren Xingchun nodded his head and rather approved of this notion as well.


    It was true that Ye Yuan was impressive. But to let him perfectly cleared another three rounds again, that was virtually something impossible.


    This fourth round already had close to a hundred years since someone passed it. The level of difficulty could be imagined.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s strength stood head and shoulders above others, if he wanted to clear the rounds perfectly again like before, the likelihood was not big.


    And truthfully, wanting to clear Kuai Liang this round was not something that easy.


    If Ye Yuan did not glean tremendous harvests in the first three levels and in the inheritance space, it was also impossible for him to want to pass through this round so effortlessly.


    Perhaps, he would have to employ the Myriad Rain Sword Blades.


    But with Ye Yuan''s present control over the Myriad Rain Sword Blades, unless he made use of the nameless essence energy, otherwise, Kuai Liang would not give him the time to execute the skill.


    . . . . . .


    In the fifth level, light flashed at the entrance area. Ye Yuan''s silhouette appeared.


    Not far away, three people were currently looking at the Liu Hong within the array formation with ghostly pale expressions.


    Within the array formation, Liu Hong was teetering on his feet. How was there still any hint of the demeanor of an expert?


    "He''s about to die," Ye Yuan judged the outcome indifferently.


    Qin Yan trio watched too nervously, so they did not notice Ye Yuan''s appearance at all.


    With Ye Yuan talking, the three of them were startled awake abruptly.


    Turning around to look, Guo Taoqun said in astonishment, "Ye Yuan! You actually really made it here!"


    The three of them were still unaware of the matter of Ye Yuan clearing the rounds perfectly. Although they heard the mysterious person said that Ye Yuan was different from them, but specifically in what way, they did not know.


    Seeing Ye Yuan at this time, Guo Taoqun blurted it out right away.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "You guys all made it over. Can''t I make it through?"


    Guo Taoqun was stunned, then he said with a forced smile, "Makes sense. It''s just, why were you so slow? With your strength, you should have entered even earlier than us!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not answer, but looked at Liu Hong and said rather surprisedly, "Who is this person? To actually be able to make it here with you all?"


    Qin Yan said with a disdainful look, "He''s called Liu Hong. A very cocky fellow! He kept on posturing in front of us and actually even wanted to clear the fifth level. You look . . . He can''t hold on anymore, right?"


    Even though Qin Yan was very displeased with this Liu Hong, his strength was not the ordinary kind of strong!


    During the fourth level, Liu Hong finally revealed his true strength, and he was again the first one to charge into the fifth level!


    And Liu Hong''s battle finally made Qin Yan trio realize that this boy''s strength was indeed above theirs!


    Now, Liu Hong had already fought for a day and night inside this array formation!


    To be able to persevere in the fifth level until now, it could be seen that this Liu Hong''s strength was rather uncommon.


    "En? How many days has it just been? You''re actually already Fourth Level Sea Transformation, almost Fifth Level Sea Transformation?" Qin Yan said in amazement.


    Although just a few days had passed in reality, Ye Yuan already stayed for 45 days inside the inheritance space.


    Experiencing this period of accumulation, Ye Yuan was only a step away from the Fifth Level Sea Transformation.


    "Huhu, I had some gains in the first few levels, that''s how I was lucky to break through. That Liu Hong almost can''t hold on anymore. At most five moves, he''s dead for sure," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    The three people being led by Ye Yuan like this, unconsciously looked towards Liu Hong.


    Once five moves passed, Liu Hong was indeed stabbed by a sword with a moment of carelessness.


    Following that, he was very quickly killed by a flurry of swords.


    Afterward, Liu Hong''s body disappeared just like this and was transported out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Alright. You guys came first. I won''t snatch with you guys. You all discuss for a bit who goes first then," Ye Yuan said faintly.


    Qin Yan and Guo Taoqun exchanged glances, both having some fear.


    These people were too strong. They made no pretense to be stronger than Liu Hong and simply could not make it through at all.


    Including Yin Yanhua, they all did not move after hearing Ye Yuan''s words.


    Ye Yuan gave them a glance and said smilingly, "Since you all are declining so modestly, then I won''t be courteous."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and directly stepped into the array formation.

 567 Really Different!

    Liu Hong was transported out just like this. But he did not feel dejected at all.


    During the Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time, he felt that he perfectly accomplished the objectives he targeted and would definitely make the Three sects gave him a sidelong glance.


    He would surely receive the Three Sects'' attention this time and become an immensely popular figure!


    Yet, when he arrived at the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s main entrance, he discovered that there was not a single person paying attention to him.


    Everyone was staring at the light screen, as if they could make out what was happening inside from those scanty few remaining names on it.


    Weird. I already came out. What are they still looking at? No matter how impressive those Three Sects'' head disciples are, they can''t possibly last longer than me in the fifth level either! Liu Hong thought perplexedly to himself.


    Liu Hong was very curious. Him being transported out, everyone should already be aware of it. But why was there not a single person paying attention to him?


    According to what he had in mind previously, he should already be encircled by the various major sects now, and he would be warmly invited to join the Endless Alliance by Ning Yixian they all.


    But everything happening before his eyes was too different from what he predicted previously.


    Not a single person seemed to pay attention to his appearance. Everyone''s attention was still on the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance.


    As for what the mysterious person said before, Ye Yuan being different from them these words, Liu Hong had flung it to the back of his mind long ago.


    He did not feel that there was anybody who could obtain even more dazzling results than him in the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time!


    His, Liu Hong''s, opponents, were only the Three Sects'' head disciples!


    But what kind of situation was this right now?


    Unable to hold back the puzzlement in his heart, Liu Hong grabbed an itinerant cultivator disciple who was kicked out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda long ago.


    "This Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance is also about to end soon, right? What are they still looking at?" Liu Hong inquired.


    That person turned back to take a look. Seeing that it was Liu Hong, he was a little agitated.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time, Liu Hong had indeed achieved very dazzling results. And his itinerant cultivator identity also made him be idolized by many itinerant cultivators.


    "Turns out it''s Senior Apprentice Brother Liu. You''re already out! Senior Apprentice Brother Liu shocked everyone with one move! Truly the role model of my generation''s itinerant cultivators!"


    Being buttered up by this person, Liu Hong instantly found a sense of existence. Holding back the wild elation in his heart, he feigned indifference and said, "Not at all, not at all. We all came from itinerant cultivators background and should naturally advance and withdraw together."


    That person had a pleasantly surprised look when he heard. Even though he was selected to enter this Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance too, compared to Liu Hong, it was undoubtedly one in the heaven, the other on the ground. To be able to establish such a relationship, it was very useful to him in the future as well.


    After all, everybody was about to all join the Endless Alliance. With Liu Hong''s strength, he was bound to be able to receive an important post.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Liu is indeed modest, with the demeanor of a major sect''s disciple! After the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance this time, Senior Apprentice Brother Liu is most likely the younger generation''s number two person already. Truly remarkable!" That itinerant cultivator sighed with admiration.


    These words of his were originally flattery, but to Liu Hong, it sounded very grating on the ears.


    He was clearly the number one person, alright? Why was he the number two person?


    Could it be that among those three people, there was still somebody who could break through the fifth level?


    "Oh, right, why is everybody still staring at the Vast Heaven Pagoda? If barring no accidents, the inheritance this time should be ending latest by tomorrow, right? Everybody should be preparing to leave," said Liu Hong, pressed down the unhappiness within.


    "Uh, ending? It''s still early, right? You look at that light screen. On it has a scalding gold name! That person is incredible! Those old ancestors all don''t dare to blink their eyes right now, fearful of missing this historical moment!" The person clicked his tongue in admiration.


    Liu Hong followed the direction he pointed at and looked over. Indeed, he saw that there was a gilded name in the fifth level. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    This astonishment was not small. Apart from himself and the Three Sects'' head disciples, there was actually still somebody who made it into the fifth level?


    How was this possible?


    He was trapped inside the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array previously and did not notice that Ye Yuan had already entered the fifth level at all.


    "What special meaning does this gilded name have?" Liu Hong frowned and asked.


    "It naturally has special meaning! That gilded name represents perfectly completing the first three levels! Oh, Perfect Completion means killing all of the demonic beasts in the first three levels!"


    That person was scared that Liu Hong did not know what Perfect Completion meant and even specially explained it to him.


    "What? Killing all of them? How is that possible?" Liu Hong almost leaped up.


    This shout of his immediately attracted many gazes to look at him.


    Yet, not a single one of those old ancestors turn around; their gazes still staring fixedly at the light screen.


    The itinerant cultivator saw Liu Hong''s eyeballs pop out and could not help saying with a smile, "Actually, when I heard those old ancestors say this, my reaction was the same as Senior Apprentice Brother Liu''s. But looking at it now, that Ye Yuan should have really done it. Because the time he stayed in the inheritance space was three times compared to you guys!"


    Liu Hong drew a cold breath. This news was seriously too staggering to him.


    All of a sudden, he recalled the words said by that mysterious person inside the inheritance space, and could not help quivering.


    "He''s different from you guys!"


    Turns out that he was really different!


    Liu Hong did not know where this Ye Yuan popped out from, to actually crush him until he had not a single patch of skin unscathed!


    His gaze was also glued tightly on that gilded name on the light screen and was speechless for a long time.


    . . . . . .


    "Hey, do you guys think that Ye Yuan can pass through this round or not?" Guo Taoqun asked the other two.


    Yin Yanhua said icily, "I''ve never doubted Ye Yuan being able to clear the fifth round before!"


    Qin Yan said, "Ye Yuan has clearly experienced some things that we don''t know about down below. Otherwise, how can his realm possibly rise so quickly? When he was at the First Level Sea Transformation, he already killed a Soul Sea Realm expert. Now that he broke through to the peak Fourth Level Sea Transformation, his strength is truly hard to gauge already."


    "En? That''s odd! Doesn''t these spirit bodies match according to the level of the martial artist that enters?" Guo Taoqun suddenly said.


    The two people''s expression changed when they heard that and also discovered what was amiss.


    Previously when these illusionary spirits killed Liu Hong, they were First Level Soul Sea boundary.


    Now that Ye Yuan entered the array formation, they actually did not suppress their boundary, but maintained First Level Soul Sea Realm!


    "Hiss . . . Could it be that these illusionary bodies want to battle with Ye Yuan with Soul Sea Realm strength? This . . . Isn''t this too much of a bully?" Qin Yan said in astoundment.


    Yin Yanhua''s eyebrows knitted slightly and said, "Looks like . . . these spirit bodies'' judgment of Ye Yuan''s strength has already placed him in the same class as Soul Sea Realm!"


    The three people drew a cold breath at the same time . . .


    In this fifth level, these illusionary spirits'' concepts and martial techniques were much stronger compared to at the fourth level!


    Under such circumstances, they were actually still going to use Soul Sea Realm strength to deal with Ye Yuan. This was simply . . . too much of a bully.


    It was also to say that the difficulty of Ye Yuan passing this round was several times of theirs!


    Could Ye Yuan really make it through this round?


    "Young man, at the fourth level, our strength was only 30% of the same boundary. But now . . . we possess 70% of our original body''s strength! You have to be careful!" Kuai Liang said.

 568 Meet Again in the Next Level

    The 70% strength that Kuai Liang talked about was naturally not referring to his cultivation, but the concept strength at the same realm.


    Which was also to say that originally, Kuai Liang comprehended 100% of the concepts. But at the fourth level, he only used these concepts'' 30%.


    Even 30% was stronger than the vast majority of the martial artists that came to challenge the rounds.


    With 70% strength, even if it was just First Level Soul Sea, it was not what a martial artist like Liu Hong could resist. Let alone that there were still several martial artists at the same boundary adding on with an array formation.


    Liu Hong and Qin Yan they all may well be facing numerous difficulties to want to pass through this fifth level.


    "Senior doesn''t have to be courteous. Just bring it on!"


    Ye Yuan fully released his aura. The surroundings faintly had a red glow revolving around, but condensed and did not dissipate. This was precisely the mark of the Scorching True Intent showing outside.


    Seeing this scene, Kuai Liang''s expression was slightly apprehensive as he said, "Essence energy is converting to become Scorching True Intent. To actually be able to achieve condensing and not dissipating, looks like your control over essence energy has already reached an extremely profound boundary! Even my original body is incapable of achieving your level! Young man, you''ve really brought us too many surprises!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Just displaying my slight skill before an expert. Senior''s strength should greatly surpass mine. If not for adhering to the rules, killing me is probably just a matter of a twinkle."


    Kuai Liang waved his hands and said, "That''s different. Me being stronger than you is just in terms of realm. Your concepts comprehension and control over essence energy are much stronger than mine! I truly dare not imagine that you''re only 17 years old!"


    "Huhu, Senior is too kind. Ye Yuan is making a move!"


    "Come on!"


    Ye Yuan''s fist momentum erupted abruptly, his entire person entering a frenzied state. It could be said that each fist landed solidly on the flesh, suppressing the array formation formed by these illusionary spirits.


    These illusionary spirits were all First Level Soul Sea boundary. Ye Yuan, a Fourth Level Sea Transformation, actually suppressed so many people!


    Seeing this scene, the three people by the sides were dumbstruck.


    They never would have thought that just around ten days or so of not meeting, Ye Yuan was actually formidable to such a level already!


    "I originally thought that I had considerable gains myself in this Vast Heaven Pagoda and should have shrunk the distance between Ye Yuan by a little. Never expected that . . . the gap between us is becoming greater and greater!" Qin Yan said with a bitter smile.


    "He . . . This set of fist arts of his seems to have Scorching True Intent! My God! This level of true intent, Ye Yuan actually fully comprehended it!" Guo Taoqun''s jaws nearly fell off from shock.


    Yin Yanhua''s expression was grave as she said with a nod, "It''s indeed the Scorching True Intent! Being so far away, the essence energy within my body actually feels discomfort! Ye Yuan''s current strength is seriously too terrifying! The three of us most likely can''t even exchange a single blow with him!"


    "No wonder that mysterious person said that Ye Yuan was different from us. Looks like his harvests in the earlier few rounds was far more than we imagined!" Qin Yan said.


    "What''s laughable was that I still thought that Ye Yuan tripped and stumbled previously. Thinking about it now, he was long not on the same level as us!" Guo Taoqun said speechlessly.


    "Yeah. Disregarding other things, just this combat strength of his right now is likely plenty to overpower Third Level Soul Seas! Crossing boundaries to fight to his sort of degree is also considered a wonder," Qin Yan said helplessly.


    . . . . . .


    Inside the array formation, Ye Yuan was akin to entering an uninhabited zone. Places where his fists passed by, those illusionary spirits all clamored to evade.


    But one could tell that this group of people''s cooperation had a very tacit understanding. Furthermore, their fighting experience was very abundant.


    Under Kuai Liang''s guidance, they did not clash head-on with Ye Yuan at all.


    With their present strength, they simply had no way of counter-pressuring Ye Yuan. They could only drag the time patiently with Ye Yuan, looking for the opportunity.


    And the primary target of Ye Yuan''s attacks was placed on Kuai Liang. He was the core of this array formation, guiding the cooperation of the entire array formation and acting as a middleman, being highly important.


    But Kuai Liang was very smart. He lay low within the array formation all along and did not come into direct contact with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s fists were always blocked by the combined power of the array formation.


    This set of array formation could not be said to not be strong. A bunch of First Level Soul Seas teaming up together virtually had the strength of a peak Third Level Soul Sea already.


    But even so, they were still domineeringly suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said, "Senior, do you think that by hiding for a moment, you can still hide for life?"


    Kuai Liang was concealed within the array formation as he called out in a clear voice, "If you have the capabilities, then drag me out!"


    "Haha! Senior, look closely!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly shot out but did not rush for Kuai Liang.


    Bang!


    Another illusionary spirit was sent flying out. But his position immediately had people covering. That illusionary spirit was fine and returned to the array formation again very quickly. This was the formidable aspect of array formations.


    "Huhu, young man, it''s useless!" Kuai Liang said with a laugh when he saw this scene.


    "Is that so?" Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. His figure moved, but he rushed towards another person.


    Bang!


    That person was blasted flying out too.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    For a time, there were people blasted flying out without pause.


    In the beginning, Kuai Liang still did not take it seriously. But very soon, he discovered something amiss. The entire array formation seemed to have a feeling of sluggishness and was not operating as smoothly as before.


    But by the time he came around, it was already too late!


    How could Ye Yuan possibly give him the opportunity?


    Kuai Liang''s eyes blurred. Ye Yuan actually appeared before him from god knows when.


    "Heh heh, apologies, Senior! Let''s meet again at the next level!"


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan did not pull his punches in the slightest. He mustered essence energy fully and gathered it onto his fist, then blasted Kuai Liang into residue with one punch.


    In terms of combat power alone, none of these illusionary spirits was Ye Yuan''s match. As long as Ye Yuan grabbed hold of a weakness, wanting to kill them was not something difficult.


    The core of this set of array formation was at Kuai Liang''s place. The most vulnerable link was here too!


    Even though Ye Yuan had never seen before this array formation, his Formations Path attainments were exceptionally high.


    Those fights previously, Ye Yuan was not lashing out blindly like a headless fly, but he as actually feeling out this array formation''s method to crack it.


    But sadly, how could Kuai Liang know. Not only was Ye Yuan''s combat strength astonishing, but he was also even a Level Nine Formations Path expert!


    Although this set of array formation was profound, as long as Ye Yuan worked hard to find the flaw, how could Kuai Liang conceal it?


    He only practiced this set of array formation to the point he became proficient in it. But he did not understand the principle of the array formation after all.


    Unless they could finish off Ye Yuan very quickly, otherwise, the final outcome could only be having the formation cracked by Ye Yuan, then routed each of them one by one.


    Once Kuai Liang died, the entire array formation clearly became too weak to withstand a single blow.


    Ye Yuan followed suit, killing these illusionary spirits one by one, and perfectly clearing the fifth level very quickly!


    Qin Yan and the others were long already staring wide-eyed and their jaws slack!


    What kind of situation was this?


    Them attempting to challenge this level was by breaching the constraints of the array formation at all costs and rushing towards the next level''s entrance.


    But Ye Yuan?


    Not only did he crack the array formation, he even killed all of the illusionary spirits!


    One had to know that these illusionary spirits, each one of them in terms of strength alone was not beneath theirs!

 569 Whos Bullying Who?

    "Everyone, I''m making a move first," Ye Yuan greeted the Qin Yan trio and directly entered the sixth level.


    Qin Yan and the others exchanged glances and already did not know what they should say.


    At this time, the illusionary spirits that were already ''killed'' by Ye Yuan emerged once more one by one.


    "Do you guys still plan on challenging the round? Seems like . . . we don''t have any hope at all!" Qin Yan said rather dispiritedly.


    Guo Taoqun gritted his teeth and side, "Already came here. We can''t retreat without fighting! I''ll go first!"


    As he said those words, Guo Taoqun entered inside the array formation with a leap.


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan he really entered the sixth level! He has produced the best result in this one thousand years!"


    "After entering the fourth level, his speed became fast instead! The fourth level only used 15 minutes to clear it. This fifth level is also merely just using the lesser part of a day''s time. Truly inconceivable!"


    "Wonder just where this fellow''s limits lie! I don''t know if he can clear the sixth level or not. If he can even make it past the sixth level, then he''ll be the fifth martial artist who charges into the seventh level in this ten thousand years! Such monstrousness simply surpasses ancient and modern times!"


    "This . . . isn''t very likely, right? I heard that this sixth level''s guardian''s strength is even a cut above the challenger''s own strength. Adding the supplementation of the array formation, it''s simply impossible to make it through!"


    "Who knows . . . Ignoring the differences in strength, just talking about what happened inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda, how many miracles has Ye Yuan created already?"


    The other person did not reply.


    Yeah. Just within this Vast Heaven Pagoda, how many turning points had Ye Yuan already created?


    The first three levels cleared perfectly, obtaining three times the inheritance time of others.


    Other people all got increasingly slower as they challenged the rounds. But after Ye Yuan entered the fourth level, his speed became faster instead. Consecutively clearing two levels actually only used half a day''s time.


    Who could ascertain that Ye Yuan definitely could not clear the sixth level?


    Liu Hong stared at that gold-colored name blankly. The sense of defeat in his heart was incomparably intense.


    He originally thought that he was the most talented youngster in this Endless World. Who knew that there were people beyond people. This Ye Yuan''s talent flung him more than several streets behind!


    What was laughable was that he still prided himself on being exceptional previously, and he even shrugged off that mysterious person''s words.


    Ye Yuan''s performance in this Vast Heaven Pagoda was much more dazzling than his.


    Forget about the third level, even in the first level, Liu Hong did not dare to remain behind to kill off all the demonic beasts!


    And at this time, each step that Ye Yuan advanced trampled on his self-esteem once.


    Soon . . . it was going to be crushed.


    . . . . . .


    At the sixth level, Kuai Liang was already waiting in full battle formation.


    "Young man, what''s your name called? This seat is called Kuai Liang. You just call me Elder Brother Kuai will do."


    This was Kuai Liang''s first time telling Ye Yuan his own name.


    In this ten thousand years, he had just spoken to a scanty few people before.


    But Ye Yuan was clearly the one that he spoke the most to.


    "Junior Ye Yuan has seen Elder Brother Kuai!" Ye Yuan reported his family name.


    Kuai Liang nodded and said, "Ye Yuan, you''re very decent! This sixth level, it''s already been a thousand years since anybody entered. Even if this ten thousand years, not many people could barge into the sixth level too. Furthermore, perfectly clearing these first five levels is just you alone!"


    "Oh? But previously, someone made it to the eighth level, right? Could it be that he didn''t clear perfectly?" Ye Yuan asked rather curiously.


    That person called Li Fantian walked even further than Lu Linfeng. Logically speaking, he should be a world-shaking figure.


    Such a genius should logically have the possibility of completing each level perfectly.


    But it was only to see Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "He did indeed achieve Perfect Completion in the first four levels. But he fell short of success at the fifth level. Hence, your talent is still above his!"


    Successfully clearing and perfectly clearing, the difficulty was not even on the same level. The fifth level''s degree of difficulty was indeed not an ordinary kind of great.


    If Ye Yuan did not comprehend a number of true intents, wanting to perfectly clear this round was likely not that easy as well.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, but he said with a forced smile, "But Elder Brother Kuai, isn''t it somewhat high-handed for you guys to guard this level with the strength of Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm?"


    Kuai Liang laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Your true combat power can''t be measured using realms at all. The hurdles that the Vast Heaven Pagoda set up are used to test the martial artist''s potential. You are able to clear the round perfectly at the fifth level and kill our First Level Soul Sea doppelgangers. The might of your combat strength is thus obvious. Furthermore, I have a feeling that you didn''t go all out when you were at the fifth level!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Fine then. In a while, Elder Brother Kuai have to show leniency!"


    "Heh heh, showing leniency can''t be done! The stronger you are, the more we can''t pull our punches! This time, we''re going to unleash 100% of your concepts'' strength!" Kuai Liang said with a laugh.


    "Tsk tsk, how ruthless! Since Elder Brother Kuai regards me so highly, then I naturally also have to strive with all my might this time! But before this, can Elder Brother Kuai allow me to break through realm first?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Kuai Liang was startled. "Oh? You''re going to break through again so quickly? Fine. What''s the harm in letting you break through?"


    Ye Yuan said with clasped hands, "Thank you very much, Elder Brother Kuai!"


    Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense either, directly amassing immense heaven and earth essence energy, and started to break through to the Fifth Level Sea Transformation!


    . . . . . .


    Roughly two hours later, the storm ceased. Ye Yuan''s aura rose by a level once more, and finally broke through to the Fifth Level Sea Transformation!


    "Elder Brother Kuai, thanks for waiting!" Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    Kuai Liang looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealed astonishment. "You, a puny little Sea Transformation Realm, actually have such impact when breaking through a minor boundary! If not for witnessing with my own eyes, I even thought that you were assaulting the Soul Sea Realm!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I''ve incurred Elder Brother Kuai''s ridicule. The cultivation method that I cultivate in is rather special. The essence energy required is very massive. So the commotion when breaking through is a bit big."


    It was more than just a bit big. It was very huge, alright?


    Kuai Liang nodded and said, "You strength is so formidable; the cultivation method that you cultivate naturally can''t be too lousy. Looks like your inheritance isn''t simple. It probably isn''t what this small world can have!"


    Ye Yuan smiled. He knew that this could not hide from Kuai Liang''s eyes either, and he could only change the topic. "Elder Brother Kuai, let''s begin!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and was about to land inside the array formation.


    At the same time, the essence fire within Ye Yuan''s body erupted abruptly. During the process of him leaping, the aura in his body erupted once more, and his boundary soared up mightily.


    By the time he landed inside the array formation, he already directly broke through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation!


    Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!


    Following Ye Yuan''s boundary slowly advancing, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was already unable to sustain him breaking through three minor boundaries. Even breaking through to late-stage Sea Transformation this time was quite forceful.


    Fortunately, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was very powerful among Tier 4 essence fires. Only then, did it forcibly support his breakthrough.


    When Kuai Liang saw this scene, his eyes became wide-saucers, "Fine lad. To actually still have this card up your sleeves! This martial technique is remarkably powerful! To actually directly aid you to break through to the late-stage Sea Transformation! I originally thought that I could bully you properly this time. Now, why do I feel like it''s still you bullying me?"

 570 Two Great Concepts of Fire

    "Haha! Elder Brother Kuai, I''m coming!" Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    "Bring it on!"


    Facing Ye Yuan bearing down menacingly, Kuai Liang awaited in full battle array.


    Presently, Ye Yuan broke through to the late-stage Sea Transformation Realm. His strength soared fiercely once more!


    Flame Movement Carnage was brandished; it was on a completely different level than before.


    Kuai Liang these people used all of their power. Their concepts were clearly all true intent level and above.


    But Ye Yuan''s Scorching True Intent overwhelmingly crushed them!


    Flame Movement Carnage was just created, and its power was already not worse off compared to the Nine Swords Stance and Thousand Flowing Petals, these martial techniques. It could be imagined how formidable the might of Scorching True Intent was!


    Even in terms of instantaneous explosive power, Flame Movement Carnage was even stronger than the move Ye Yuan created using supreme true intent.


    What was even deadlier was that Ye Yuan''s control over essence energy was very precise. One should not look at how each punch of his seemed to use all the strength in his body, it actually did not expend much essence energy.


    With his present essence energy density, even if he fought non-stop for a day and a night, he would not exhaust all the essence energy within his body at all.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations could sustain for such a long time.


    For a time, the situation inside the array formation was actually the same as in the fifth level; Kuai Liang''s side was completely suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    "Heh heh, Elder Brother Kuai, this array formation of yours is already useless against me. If you don''t wish to lose, quickly think of a way," Ye Yuan said to Kuai Liang as he punched out.


    Kuai Liang was also someone who was a veteran of a hundred battles. Looking at Ye Yuan''s performance in the fifth level, he knew that the array formation was already useless.


    Rumble!


    After a violent collision, Kuai Liang and Ye Yuan both separated.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re indeed formidable! This array formation, we brothers practiced for a very long time before slowly understanding it well. You merely entered the array for half a day and actually already have a thorough understanding of the array formation!" Kuai Liang said with an emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan''s monstrousness totally exceeded his expectations. This boy seemed to have limitless means.


    He had already guarded this pass here for God knows how many years and had yet to be suppressed to this extent by a junior.


    Although he admired Ye Yuan''s talent, Kuai Liang still felt very aggrieved.


    He was a powerhouse that controlled a region while he was still alive. Even if he became an illusionary spirit guarding this pass now, his pride still remained.


    Being beaten by Ye Yuan for three consecutive rounds like this, it brought out his temper!


    "However . . . we brothers are not easy to bully! What I want to tell you is that not using array formations can instead increase our combat strength even more! Brothers, go full power!"


    Kuai Liang roared.


    Each and every one of those illusionary spirits was like injected with stimulants, instantly erupting with a powerful aura!


    Even though their boundaries were still Fourth Level Soul Sea, Ye Yuan suddenly felt that these illusionary spirits became somewhat different!


    As if all of a sudden, these illusionary spirits became gods of war one by one, giving people a feeling of peerlessness.


    "Hahaha! How many years has it been since this feeling of hot blood boiling! Thank you, Ye Yuan! If it wasn''t for you, we''d probably all remain as emotionless walking corpses!" Kuai Liang said with a loud laugh.


    The Kuai Liang at this time was akin to a god of war; his eyes radiating a brilliant light as if two different persons from that previous lifelessness.


    Seeing Kuai Liang brimming with fighting spirit, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Looks like these few years, Elder Brother Kuai was shackled by the rules and became overly cautious and didn''t dare to act boldly! Since that''s the case, I''ll consult Elder Brother Kuai''s true strength then!"


    "Good! Ye Yuan, I''ll put forth my best effort to defeat you! This round isn''t that easy to clear! Go!"


    Under Kuai Liang''s command, those 30 over illusionary spirits rushed towards Ye Yuan without any pattern at all. It was entirely different from that strict order previously.


    But Ye Yuan''s face became solemn. These people became completely different!


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not show weakness either. His figure moved, and he charged towards those illusionary spirits.


    With his current late-stage Sea Transformation strength used in conjunction with the Scorching True Intent and Concept of Wind flow, it was not too difficult to contend with Fourth Level Soul Seas.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan fell into these 30 over people''s encirclement.


    Different from landing in the array formation prior to this, these illusionary spirits'' attacks were without any order to speak of. It was completely each fighting their own battles.


    But not knowing why, these people''s combat power suddenly soared by a level!


    Furthermore, even though they were each fighting separate battle, the cooperation between each other was extremely well-coordinated.


    Frequently, as Ye Yuan''s fist was just thinking of hitting towards a person, he would suffer the pincer attacks of multiple people at the same time. Helpless, Ye Yuan could only give up the attack and switch to defense.


    The teamwork between these people was absolutely not as simple as one plus one equals two!


    Although there was no array formation''s augmentation, the pressure that Ye Yuan felt was much stronger than when they formed an array formation.


    Ye Yuan crisscrossed among the illusionary spirits and displayed the Wind Flow True Intent to the limits. There was actually a feeling of beyond one''s power!


    This made Ye Yuan very baffled.


    Just what in the world happened to these people?


    "Haha! Back then, we were all a mercenary team. Every fight was all acting in concert together. For close to a thousand years, we ourselves can''t remember clearly how many times we''ve fought together either! This sort of fighting instinct has long been assimilated into your blood already! Without the constraints of array formations, the teamwork between us will become even closer instead! Ye Yuan, if you can defeat us under this condition, you''ll have the qualifications to accept the challenge of the final three levels!" Kuai Liang said loudly.


    Ye Yuan was enlightened in his heart when he heard that!


    No wonder he had a feeling of being unable to carry out every time he attacked. Turns out that these people had long taken team fights as their own instincts.


    The incomparable trust between each other. Even communicating with their eyes was not needed; it was simply accomplishing things with a thought!


    Fighting instinctively like this was undoubtedly extremely formidable.


    "So that''s how it is! Elder Brother and everyone else are indeed very strong. Your trust between each other also makes Ye Yuan visibly moved. However . . . this seventh level, I must go!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s aura likewise erupted abruptly, soaring tremendously once more!


    "Essence Energy Ignition! Flame Movement Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan gave a roar. The essence energy within his body instantly ignited!


    Instantaneously, Ye Yuan''s fist exploded with a dazzling red light. An appalling aura forced those illusionary spirits back!


    Following that, Ye Yuan swung out a fist, smashing it towards that group of illusionary spirits like a tempestuous storm!


    Rumble!


    The Transmission True Intent coupled with the Scorching True Intent, two types of true intents added together for the first time, making the power of Flame Movement Carnage soar explosively!


    Even though what Ye Yuan was facing a group of Fourth Level Soul Sea experts, this punch still beat the opponent down to the mortal world like breaking a dead branch off a tree!


    Those dozen over illusionary spirits at the forefront were practically obliterated by Ye Yuan at the first moment.


    Those illusionary spirits at the back also received injuries to varying degrees!


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intent of stopping. A punch smashed over again, annihilating quite a few illusionary spirits once more.


    Two punches down, only a scanty few illusionary spirits remained in good condition.


    Seeing this scene, Kuai Liang''s complexion was white as a sheet . . .

 571 Creating History!

    This Ye Yuan was actually someone who had become stronger when encountering strong enemies!


    Regarding the strength of these brothers of his, Kuai Liang was all too clear.


    But even so, they were still crushed by Ye Yuan domineeringly!


    Those two punches earlier, even he felt terror.


    Too strong!


    Could it be that this boy had no limits?


    This group of people was all Fourth Level Soul Sea strength. What did this illustrate?


    This showed that when they, these people, were at the Fourth Level Soul Sea, as a team still could not triumph over Ye Yuan this Fifth Level Sea Transformation!


    Furthermore, when they were at the Fourth Level Soul Sea, they did not have their current concepts comprehension at all.


    Ye Yuan using these two punches perfectly elucidated what was called powerful!


    Kuai Liang looked at Ye Yuan and suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha! How many years has it been? The Vast Heaven Pagoda finally welcomed an interesting youth! Ye Yuan, you''re excellent! This Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance, the final three rounds are the most important. You have to put in great effort. Don''t let me down!"


    As he said, Kuai Liang swung his sword in a circle, then swiped towards his own neck.


    The other illusionary spirits all followed suit, all choosing to commit suicide!


    Very soon, Kuai Liang and the rest all revived from the dead, appearing in front of Ye Yuan once again.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Elder Brother Kuai!"


    "Huhu, thank for what? There has never been compassion in the martial artists'' world, only strength! If you don''t have adequate strength, how can you be qualified to let me view you in a different light? Who knows how many martial artists came to this Vast Heaven Pagoda. But barely any had the qualifications to let me a word more. And you, have this qualification. Alright, you go to the inheritance space then," Kuai Liang said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Farewell!"


    . . . . . .


    "Cleared! Really made it through! The seventh level! Seventh level!"


    Outside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, everyone''s emotion was boiling over!


    The seventh level!


    This was a result which created history!


    Since Lu Linfeng made it into the seventh level, several thousand years had already passed. During this period, nobody ever made it inside.


    Lu Linfeng''s prowess, nobody dared to dispute it.


    After a time interval of several thousand years, was another Grand Yan True Lord such existence going to appear again?


    Entering the seventh level meant that Ye Yuan at least made it into the top five in this ten thousand years!


    Ten thousand years. How many geniuses slowly rose up, then vanished in the long process of history again?


    To be able to rank in the top five of all the geniuses in ten thousand years, this glory, just thinking about it made people feel excited.


    "Quickly look! You guys, quickly look! Ye Yuan''s name is changing again!"


    On the light screen, the originally gilded ''Ye Yuan'' two characters were gradually plated with a layer of purple halo.


    The initially gold-colored name, after adding this layer of purple halo, actually became sacred.


    When the surrounding martial artists saw that name, a feeling of prostrating in worship actually birthed in their hearts!


    "Ye Yuan''s name actually became purple-gold colored! This . . . What does this represent?" Ning Yixian said in astonishment.


    Ning Yixian, Qin Hongtao, and Jing Xuan exchanged glances. Their hearts all had a conjecture which shocked them to the core!


    "Ye Yuan should have perfectly cleared the round once again!" Qi Hai''s voice suddenly rang out.


    "Hiss . . ."


    Although they had surmised it in their hearts, hearing Qi Hai say it out, the shock in their hearts was still beyond words.


    The Grand Yan True Lord swept across the Endless World after coming out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda back then. This legend was passed down all the way until now. But Ning Yixian they all had never heard before that the Grand Yan True Lord had once perfectly cleared the rounds.


    How many times greater was the difficulty of the middle three levels compared to the first three levels?


    But under such circumstances, Ye Yuan still cleared the rounds perfectly?


    "What in the world did Ye Yuan do inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda? If he can even perfectly clear the sixth level, what kind of realm has his present strength already reached?" Ning Yixian felt rather hard to wrap his mind around it.


    "The middle three levels all configure the opponents according to the martial artist''s own boundary. Ye Yuan''s realm is only Sea Transformation Realm, but his true combat power can cross a major boundary. If it''s like this, he has a huge advantage in clearing these middle three levels," Qin Hongtao said.


    "Not so! When Ye Yuan was at the fifth level, the opponents he faced were all First Level Soul Sea! I witnessed with my own eyes that those opponents were all killed by Ye Yuan!"


    Qin Hongtao had just finished talking when a voice immediately jumped out to refute.


    Everyone turned around to look. It was precisely the Guo Taoqun who was already kicked out of the fifth level.


    Guo Taoqun''s words stirred up an intense wave once again.


    "What? You said that Ye Yuan''s opponents in the fifth level were actually all First Level Soul Sea?" Ning Yixian''s eyes became round as a ball.


    Guo Taoqun nodded and said, "That''s right! Furthermore, there was the augmentation of array formation. The power of the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array is very strong! Even if I have Third Level Soul Sea strength right now, I might not be able to pass through the fifth level either! And I personally witnessed that Ye Yuan carried out a complete suppression against the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array right from the start, all the way until they were all killed!"


    Silence! Deathly silent!


    The news that Guo Taoqun brought was even more astounding than Ye Yuan''s name becoming purple-gold earlier.


    A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist actually suppressed a group of Soul Sea Realm illusionary spirits across the board, and he even killed all of them!


    How horrifying a combat power did this required?!


    "En? Oh, right, what does this Perfect Completion that you guys talked about mean?"


    Guo Taoqun had just come out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda and was still unaware of what Perfect Clear signified.


    Ning Yixian briefly explained to Guo Taoqun. Guo Taoqun was not as shocked as imagined. Because he already personally witnessed Ye Yuan''s prowess in the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Except that after hearing Ning Yixian''s explanation, Guo Taoqun could not help saying with a bitter smile, "Looks like at the fifth level, Ye Yuan did not use his full strength! I reckon that the opponents in the sixth level are at least at the Third Level Soul Sea Realm! Maybe even Fourth Level Soul Sea! He actually still killed all the opponents same as before. This shows that the fifth level was just an appetizer to him!"


    Guo Taoqun never could have expected that the Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time actually pulled apart the distance between him and Ye Yuan so greatly.


    The present Ye Yuan was already on an entirely different level from them, these juniors!


    Ren Xingchun''s entire body was somewhat trembling right now. How many years has it been since he was so agitated?


    Even when he became Wu Fang City Lord back then, he had not been so agitated before too.


    The worry in the beginning to the pride and arrogance now, this sort of situation made him, this old man who had experienced the hardships of life, somewhat surging with agitation in his heart.


    At present, Ren Xingchun involuntarily recalled the scene of him forcing Ye Hang and Ren Hongling husband and wife out of Wu Fang City back then. Thinking about it, he truly did something extremely foolish back then.


    If one person''s willpower was not staunch enough between the two of them, how could he have such a remarkable grandson now?


    If his separation of the loving couple back then succeeded . . . Ren Xingchun even did not quite dare to imagine right now.


    Ye Yuan''s rising momentum was too strong!


    With Ye Yuan around, Wu Fang City would become the entire Endless World''s pinnacle existence for at least a thousand years!


    Before long, Wu Fang City would completely quash the Three Sects, becoming the number one major faction in this Endless World!


    Ren Xingchun was an ambitious old man. Thinking about Wu Fang City''s future, he was rather agitated.

 572 True Dragons Blood!

    In the inheritance space, Ye Yuan appeared, but his expression froze.


    A black-clothed man was currently standing with his hands behind his back, and his back facing Ye Yuan.


    "You''re very decent! In this recent ten thousand years, you''re the first young genius to perfectly clear the first six levels!"


    This black-clothed person was clearly that mysterious person in the inheritance space previously.


    Regarding this mysterious person making an appearance in person, Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    He even thought that this person would be like before, remotely controlling here from some hidden place.


    Looks like consecutively clearing the rounds perfectly twice had already made this black-clothed person have a completely new appraisal of him.


    "So, you felt that I have the qualifications to let you show up and meet in person?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile and was not very overwhelmed by the grace.


    The black-clothed person was clearly quite surprised. This boy seemed to forever be this calm and collected. Nothing could visibly move him; he was completely not unlike a Lower Realm''s youth.


    This boy actually even haggled with him previously, angering him plenty.


    Now that he showed up in person to meet, this boy still had a punchable look. Really makes people displeased!


    The black-clothed person did not speak. He just casually waved his hand. A small bottle appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    "This is the reward for your second Perfect Clear!" The black-clothed person said.


    Ye Yuan checked his palm and could not help sizing up this small bottle.


    Inside the bottle was stark empty and only had a drop of fresh blood!


    This drop of blood was clearly not quite the same as ordinary blood. It was not bright red in color but revealed a golden color in the bright red.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression changed!


    "This . . . Could this be . . . a divine beast blood essence?" Ye Yuan evidently recognized this item and said in amazement.


    The black-clothed person turned around rather surprisedly. But his profile remained hidden in the black robes. Ye Yuan could not see at all.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan felt that this black-clothed person before his eyes had a quite unreal sensation; he was clearly standing in front of him, but seemed to be very distant away.


    This made him slightly apprehensive in his heart. The black-clothed person''s strength was most likely not an ordinary kind of strong!


    "You actually know about divine beast blood essence? Looks like your background isn''t normal!" said the black-clothed person in surprise.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and forcefully pressed down the shock in his heart and said, "You must be kidding, Senior. Within this fresh blood, it faintly exudes a golden-color. This is the hallmark of demonic beasts starting to evolve to become divine beasts!"


    This second Perfect Clear''s reward was simply too generous!


    Ye Yuan could not help quivering in his heart as well when he recognized this drop of blood essence.


    What was the concept of a divine beast?


    Every divine beast was all genuine Deity Realm powerhouses!


    The so-called divine beasts under this stretch of heaven now were actually all rubbish.


    At the very most, they could only be hailed as divine beast progenies.


    True divine beasts no longer existed in this world.


    Hence, how precious this drop of blood essence in Ye Yuan''s hands could not be imagined at all.


    Ye Yuan knew that there were that few demonic beasts in the Divine Realm; their blood was this sort of color as well. However, those few demonic beasts were all the Divine Realm''s peak existences.


    Among the human martial artists, only existences like the Ten Great Divine Kings could be on par with them!


    Wanting to obtain their blood was simply nothing more than wishful thinking.


    Ye Yuan never could have imagined that he could actually obtain a drop of blood like this inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Heh heh, you, this boy, are indeed interesting. To actually even know about this sort of thing! That''s right, this is a drop of true dragon''s blood. Since you know that this is a divine beast blood essence, about its usage you don''t need me to say any further, right?" the black-clothed person said smilingly.


    The black-clothed person played it down, but Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. His eyes revealed a look of disbelief as he said, "What did you say? This . . . This is a true dragon''s blood?"


    This time, Ye Yuan was really astonished.


    Although Deity Realm powerhouses were already gone like clouds dissipating, the footsteps of martial artists'' pursuit of the Deity Realm had never stopped. The legend of Deity Realm powerhouses also circulated on in the Divine Realm all along.


    Divine beasts were undoubtedly extremely formidable existences. But among divine beasts there were distinction of superiority and inferiority too. The Four Great Divine Beasts were clearly the pinnacle-most existences among divine beasts.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually obtained a drop of true dragon''s blood. Even if this drop of blood essence came from one that had yet to completely evolve to become a divine beast, it was still an extremely valuable item!


    "Heh heh, brat, are you still going to say that the things which this Seat gives you are worthless now?" said the black-clothed person with some ridicule.


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This fellow still remembered this matter until now!


    This person''s strength was unfathomable. To think that he was actually so narrow-minded, involuntarily making Ye Yuan feel contempt in his heart.


    But he gave away so many valuable things. Ye Yuan could not very well give him a blow. He just clasped his hands and said, "Many thanks for Senior''s gift!"


    Ye Yuan was not some hillbilly who had not seen the world after all. After the shock, Ye Yuan adjusted his state of mind very quickly and recovered.


    When the black-clothed person saw that Ye Yuan actually recovered back to normal so quickly, he was also rather surprised secretly.


    Even a fellow who did not know about the goods also knew just how precious an item like true dragon''s blood was, let alone Ye Yuan who recognized it at a glance.


    Facing such temptation, this fellow could actually remain so composed. This involuntarily made the black-clothed person''s appraisal of Ye Yuan rise up a level once again.


    "No need to thank me. These are the rules that fellow set. Since you cleared perfectly the second time, this is the reward that you deserve. But I have to warn you, true dragon''s blood is abnormally tyrannical. Your current boundary is still too low. I advise that you better wait until after Divine Traversing Realm before taking it. Or else, if you explode from being loaded up by the true dragon''s blood, I''m not responsible!" the black-clothed person said.


    True dragon''s blood was extremely tyrannical and violent. Ordinary martial artists were unable to harness it at all.


    Even if ordinary martial artists obtained true dragon''s blood, they would not dare easily consume it either.


    But Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Although taking the true dragon''s blood at the Divine Traversing Realm is safe, the benefits to me won''t be that great anymore. At present, my essence energy sea has just opened up not long ago. Consuming this true dragon''s blood is precisely the ideal period."


    When Ye Yuan knew that this was true dragon''s blood, he already made up his mind to immediately consume it!


    Ye Yuan naturally knew the overbearingness of true dragon''s blood. But he also knew that his condition at the moment was precisely the ideal period for consuming the true dragon''s blood.


    Sea Transformation Realm was a new beginning, and it was also the foundation of all the boundaries in the future.


    The Four Great Divine Beasts were all the beloved of heaven and earth. True dragon''s blood had the powerful effect of remolding a martial artist''s bloodline. Not only could it let the martial artist increase their boundary within a short period of time, but also it could even let the martial artist''s affinity with heaven and earth essence energy rise multiple levels, greatly increasing the martial artist''s cultivation speed!


    This, to martial artists, was simply a priceless treasure!


    The black-clothed man snickered coldly when he heard that and said, "Brat, I admit that you''re extraordinarily talented. But don''t be arrogant and overweening too! Arrogant people never have any good endings! Even though you are aware of divine beast bloodlines, you''ve never experienced before how powerful divine beast bloodlines are, right? True dragon''s blood is an extremely powerful existence among divine beast bloodlines too. If you swallow it with your present boundary, you''ll die for sure!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Senior, since this true dragon''s blood is my reward, then I''m the one who makes the call, right?"

 573 Slaughtering Cities

    The black-clothed person''s expression involuntarily choked up as he said indignantly, "Fine! I see that you''re a talent, that''s why I''m giving you a piece of advice. Since you''re courting death yourself, then I''m not to be blamed for it! Although your talent is decent, your disposition is terrible! Even if you don''t die today, you''ll die sooner or later in the future due to your wild arrogance!"


    However, Ye Yuan was neither anxious nor worried as he said with a smile, "Many thanks for Senior''s concern. But Ye Yuan''s matters, I have a score in my heart. True dragon''s blood is so powerful. If I can''t bring out its full might, wouldn''t it be a wanton waste of God''s good gifts? Don''t you agree, Senior?"


    "Humph! All the best to you!" said the black-clothed person with a cold snort and vanished with that.


    Ye Yuan looked at the true dragon''s blood in his hand and could not help being out of sorts.


    He also did not expect that the Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time, the gains would actually be so bountiful!


    Regardless whether was it the nameless essence energy, or the Vast Heaven Stele, or the Nine Characters True Word Formula, they were all top-notch treasures. Even when placed in the Divine Realm, it was very hard to come by as well.


    And the sixth level''s Perfect Completion would actually reward him with a drop of true dragon''s blood. This was truly an unexpected surprise.


    To say such words, it was not exaggerated at all; martial artists who got their hands on true dragon''s blood and used it could be said to cast off their old self and be reborn anew!


    Even if it were a pig, his cultivation speed would also be swift to the extent where it made ordinary people despair.


    Cultivating essence energy had always been painstaking work. Even though Ye Yuan could pop pills, along with his boundary getting increasingly higher, the requirements towards medicinal herbs also became progressively greater.


    He did not have a Medicine King Hall behind him to support his cultivation now. Even if he could bear the costs of medicinal herbs, he could not find so many high tier medicinal herbs either.


    Furthermore, frankly speaking, this body''s talent honestly was not much. It had tremendously huge constraints on Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed as well.


    Ye Yuan''s boundary rising until now was basically all relying on medicinal pills and lucky encounters. Strictly following the routine cultivation time was really not much.


    With this true dragon''s blood, he would not need to worry about cultivation speed this problem anymore in the future.


    Right away, Ye Yuan sat down with his legs crossed without any hesitation and entered Heart Like Still Water heart realm to adjust his body''s condition to the prime.


    True dragon''s blood was powerful, but just as the black-clothed person said, a moment of carelessness and it would stuff the martial artist until they exploded.


    Even though Ye Yuan had confidence in subjugating this true dragon''s blood, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest either.


    This was a tempo of playing with one''s life!


    Ye Yuan carefully opened up the small bottle. A peerlessly tyrannical aura gushed out, seemingly wanted to rip this entire stretch of space to shreds.


    Instantly, Ye Yuan seemed to have seen a true dragon rush out of the small bottle, circling around in the air.


    "Indeed well-deserving of being a true dragon''s blood. Even if it''s just one drop of blood essence, it has such power too!" Ye Yuan praised with a sigh.


    Without hesitation, Ye Yuan directly swallowed the blood essence into his abdomen. Immediately, he felt like his internal body was like being immolated.


    Only at this instant, did Ye Yuan know what was genuinely called viscera burning up!


    "Argh!"


    Ye Yuan could not hold back a long cry, reverberating around the entire inheritance space.


    Inside the void, the black-clothed person watched this scene indifferently as he said coldly, "A brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Originally thought that you were somewhat different from the others. Didn''t think that you''re still a fool! Refining true dragon''s blood, the most terrifying thing isn''t the energy contained within the true dragon''s blood, but the dreadful true dragon''s will. Even for Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, a moment of carelessness and they would have their will obliterated by the true dragon''s will as well, becoming a walking corpse! Forget it. A fool like this, if he''s dead, then he''s dead. Nothing to feel regret about either."


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth till it chattered. Every inch of skin and flesh on his body was immolating.


    The surface skin and flash actually gradually cracked open, looking very awful.


    Ye Yuan was still under the Heart Like Still Water heart realm right now. All of the pain all appeared especially vivid. That anguish gave people an impulse to want to commit suicide.


    True dragon''s blood was indeed abnormally tyrannical. It actually wanted to forcibly load Ye Yuan up to death!


    Within all of Ye Yuan''s meridians at the moment, violent energy was teeming everywhere. Even when Ye Yuan revolved the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to the limits, it was unable to digest those violent energies either.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan fell into an extreme crisis!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s wretched appearance, the black-clothed person could not help rebuking him again, "Heh heh, tasted the hardships, right? Who ask you to be arrogant! Even though this true dragon''s blood isn''t a genuine divine beast''s blood essence, the energy contained within is also not what a puny little Sea Transformation Realm like you can subjugate! Truly a fool!"


    As the black-clothed person said this, he suddenly gave a melancholic sigh. He said, "Finally managed to found a peerlessly talented genius. Didn''t think that he would actually die just like this. That fellow is seriously . . . Why did he have to freaking give some true dragon''s blood? It''s great now, isn''t it? To wait for another genius like this, no idea how many years it will take either!"


    . . . . . .


    Outside of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, a commotion suddenly arose.


    A Soul Sea Realm martial artist barged into the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm and sprinted straight for Ning Yixian.


    "Alliance Chief, things are bad!" That martial artist had a manner of utmost urgency.


    Ning Yixian''s heart thumped. But he still asked in a low voice, "What happened?"


    This martial artist was his confidant. He stayed in Wu Fang City to assist a Heavenly Martial Sect''s grand elder in dealing with alliance matters.


    Looking at his appearance, something extraordinary most likely happened.


    Indeed, that martial artist said with a look of righteous indignation, "Fierce Gale World''s five great titans personally moved out, directly storming and capturing the Northern Domain''s south-eastern strategic city, Cloud Iron City, and activated the transmission array! Now, Fierce Gale World martial artists already invaded the Northern Domain on a large scale, attacking and occupying the south-eastern side''s three cities in one move! Furthermore . . ."


    With this, everybody''s expressions changed.


    The Fierce Gale World''s five great titans personally moving out. This was terrible!


    The Fierce Gale World did not have any activities all along after entering the Southern Domain for so many. To think that once they moved out, it was so swift, precise, and fierce!


    Ning Yixian they all originally thought that with the Endless Forest this natural protective defense, the Fierce Gale World wanting to invade en masse could not be accomplished within a short period.


    Who knew that these five titans would actually be so decisive in going for the kill, directly attack over.


    The Endless Forest. Those beneath Divine Traversing Realm were incapable of flying over directly. Only by entering the Divine Traversing Realm could one have sufficient capabilities to preserve themselves.


    The five great titans personally moved out to seize the transmission array. This was what Ning Yixian did not expect prior to this.


    "Furthermore what? Don''t be like a woman! Quickly say!" Ning Yixian said anxiously.


    That martial artists said with a look of grief and anger, "Furthermore, after the Fierce Gale World occupied those three cities, they actually . . . actually issued the order to slaughter the people, killing all of the Endless World martial artists in those three cities! The count . . . The count is most likely as massive as in the millions!"


    "What? What did you say?! Slaughter everyone in the three cities?"


    Ning Yixian doubted his own ears a little. Could it be that those people were all madmen?


    According to what Ye Yuan said and looking from the situation that they came to learn about now, the Fierce Gale World only came for the Endless World''s resources.


    If they adopted conciliatory strategies, the Endless World would definitely have many people whose determination was not firm cross over to the other side.


    But once this sort of tactic like slaughtering the city was implemented, it would undoubtedly arouse all the Endless World''s martial artists'' frenzied resistance!


    Such a simple logic, could it be that those Fierce Gale World martial artists did not know?

 574 Slaying True Dragon Will!

    A million martial artists were just a small figure to the Endless World. But the influence of the massacring of the cities'' occupants this time towards this war was massive.


    This was forcing all the Endless World''s martial artists to rise up in resistance: either you die or I perish!


    The Fierce Gale World''s way of doing things left everyone very perplexed.


    "We planted quite a few hidden agents in the Southern Domain. Nearby the Endless Forest has a lot of hidden sentries too. Could it be that they did not detect anything in advance?" Ning Yixian said furiously.


    Although both ends of the Endless Forest basically broke off contact, as the Alliance Chief, how could Ning Yixian possibly not think of ways to plant some informants in the Southern Domain?


    If one was oblivious to the situation, this war did not need to be fought either.


    That martial artist shook his head and said, "No news was sent back from the southern side. The hidden agents in the Endless Forest detected it. But the five great peak Sovereigns'' speed was too fast. They simply could not transmit the information in time.


    Ning Yixian felt a headache. The three cities were just a small area of land to the Ning Yixian. But once this hole opened up, the Fierce Gale World could send in reinforcements endlessly through these three cities.


    This realm war was also considered to have officially started!


    "Huuuu . . . Old Hai, how do you view it?" Ning Yixian was also rather ruffled at this time and could only ask Qi Hai.


    Qi Hai had his brows tightly locked all this while as well. Seeing Ning Yixian inquire, he waved his hand and said, "You lead the others back first. I''ll wait here for Ye Yuan and the other two to come out. Gauge out the intention of the other party massacring the cities first before deciding again. Additionally, spread this information around the world. Let every martial artist in the Endless World all know that they already don''t have a way out! If it''s not the Fierce Gale World''s defeat, then it''s our own death!"


    Qi Hai clearly could not figure out what the other party was playing at either. Ever since the realm passageway linked together, the information that the Endless World knew about the Fierce Gale World was seriously too little. They were simply unable to have any effective response.


    Ning Yixian heaved a sigh when he heard that and said, "There''s only this as well! Then I have to trouble Old Hai with Ye Yuan. I''ll bring them back right away!"


    Qi Hai''s brows were tightly locked. He nodded his head but did not speak, lifting his head to look at that purple-gold name on the light screen.


    Only after Ning Yixian brought everyone away, did Qi Hai look at Ye Yuan''s name and said with a long sigh, "Ye Yuan, you''re the Endless World''s final hope. Quickly get stronger!"


    . . . . . .


    Inside the inheritance space, Ye Yuan''s breath became weaker and weaker.


    The boundless energy contained in the true dragon''s blood looked to be loading him up until he was about to explode.


    Right at this time, a majestic consciousness instantly intruded inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness and turned into an azure dragon''s appearance!


    "Boy, you actually dare to refine this noble true dragon''s blood! Pay the price for your ignorance!"


    The azure dragon was very haughty inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    At this time, although Ye Yuan was in unbearable pain, under Heart Like Still Water heart realm, he could still preserve his own consciousness.


    "In front of this Young Master, you dare to call yourself noble?!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    "Hahaha! You are but a Sea Transformation Realm little bastard. To also dare be arrogant in front of our noble dragon race! Wait until I thoroughly obliterate your consciousness and turn you into a walking corpse. See what you still have to be arrogant in front of this dragon!" said the azure dragon with a roaring laugh.


    "With the likes of you?" Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look.


    "Humph! Ignorant child! Still being stubborn on your deathbed! Although this dragon is just a tiny bit of remnant consciousness, to deal with a Sea Transformation Realm brat like you, isn''t it still defeating you with ease? Watch closely, this dragon will completely wipe away your consciousness right now!"


    Finished talking, the azure dragon gave a dragon roar, shocking until Ye Yuan''s consciousness nearly collapsed and almost dissipated.


    "Damn it! Why isn''t there any activity from the golden characters yet? If this carries on, this lousy dragon is really going to disintegrate my consciousness!"


    The will of an azure dragon was no joke. They were the proudest existence beneath this sky, and also the most overbearing existence.


    Even just a tiny hint of remnant will was extremely proud and powerful too.


    Ye Yuan waited without fear. What he relied on was naturally the golden characters in his sea of consciousness. But until now, they did not have any movements at all!


    "Damn it! In the end, I still have to rely on myself! Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, break for me!"


    Ye Yuan''s condensed his own consciousness to become a sword, stabbing towards that azure dragon!


    "Haha! Paltry tricks! Want to deal with this dragon with just the likes of this?"


    The azure dragon extended a dragon claw, lightly grabbing towards that sword.


    Yet, right at this time, the black bead within Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness suddenly quivered.


    The next instant, that colossal azure dragon illusion seemed to be struck by lighting, actually unable to move his entire body. The dragon claw that he extended froze there too, unable to advance an inch!


    Swish!


    The soul sword that Ye Yuan condensed penetrated through the azure dragon illusion just like this!


    The confrontation between consciousnesses was the most perilous. Ye Yuan''s soul sword condensed all of his attainments on the divine soul. This attack was by no means insignificant!


    "Argh! How can this dragon be killed by a Sea Transformation Realm brat? Impossible! Imposs . . ."


    The azure dragon''s roars gradually became weaker, all the way until that phantom turned into nothing, and finally vanishing.


    "Huuuu . . ."


    Ye Yuan let out a long breath, looking at that black bead in his sea of consciousness with an astonished gaze.


    "Just what is this black bead''s origin? To actually be able to produce such power to restrain a true dragon''s will?"


    If not for the black bead remedying the situation today, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to finish off the azure dragon with such ease.


    This black bead was too mysterious. Also don''t know just what was its origins.


    But through today''s matters, Ye Yuan could confirm that this black bead''s origin was absolutely extraordinary!


    One had to know that a true dragon had one of the strongest types of will in this world. Even Ye Yuan did not dare say he had full confidence in dealing with it either.


    But that black bead just quivered slightly and that azure dragon formed from that strand of will actually become incapable of moving.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan discovered to his dismay that he had many staggering secrets on him; yet, he could not control even a single one of them.


    "No time to think too much. Better absorb the true dragon''s blood fast!" Ye Yuan calmed his mind very quickly and absorbed the true dragon''s blood in full force.


    Without the true dragon will''s guiding, this true dragon''s blood became much more obedient; it was not as tyrannical and brutal as before.


    The powerful energy in the dragon blood continuously baptized Ye Yuan''s body, strengthening his essence energy.


    Ye Yuan''s aura could be seen with the naked eye to be strengthening rapidly.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan successfully broke through to the Sixth Level Sea Transformation!


    "En? What''s going on? That boy . . . is actually breaking through?"


    When the black-clothed person saw that Ye Yuan was already severely injured and on the verge of dying, he was disinclined to pay attention to him again any longer.


    At this time, suddenly detecting somebody breaking through, he hurriedly paid close attention to Ye Yuan. With this look, he could not help jumping in fright.


    The flesh and skin on Ye Yuan''s body covered in cracks not only recovered as good as new at this time, it even became brass colored, faintly exuding powerful strength!


    Not only did Ye Yuan not show the slightest hint of being injured, but his aura also was terrifyingly powerful!


    "He . . . Did he really succeed in refining the true dragon''s blood? This . . . How is this possible? True dragon will is abnormally ruthless and tyrannical. He''s only Sea Transformation Realm. How can he possibly beat the true dragon will?" This time, the black-clothed person was really stunned.

 575 Half-Dragon Physique, Eighth Level Sea Transformation!

    Ye Yuan''s aura rose without ceasing. After breaking through to the Sixth Level Sea Transformation, the momentum still did not reduce; instead, surging towards the Seventh Level Sea Transformation.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s skeleton was also rattling. His body was still undergoing the dragon blood''s baptism!


    When the black-clothed person saw this scene, he was truly astonished until he could not speak.


    Ye Yuan was breaking through boundaries while tempering his physique on the side. What kind of freak was this fellow?


    One had to know that although there was no true dragon will, tempering the physique was something extremely perilous. A single mishap and one would run amok.


    Breaking through boundaries was likewise something which did not tolerate any hint of mistakes and was also exceptionally easy for the person to become deranged.


    These two matters doing at the same time, the risk of running amok would increase tremendously.


    But Ye Yuan this psycho was actually carrying it out in a systematic order!


    Ye Yuan''s aura rose without stopping and arrived at the Seventh Level Sea Transformation''s boundary very soon.


    This was the moment which was the most exhilarating for martial artists, but it was also the most dangerous moment.


    The black-clothed person watched until his heart leaped to his throat!


    How could he know that Ye Yuan under Heart Like Still Water Realm doing something like dual-tasking was not something that was hard?


    The process of breaking through to the Seventh Level Sea Transformation was not as perilous as the black-clothed person imagined. It was completed easily like water flowing when a channel was formed.


    Ye Yuan''s body at present already underwent a thorough remolding transformation. Breaking through was even less of a burden.


    But the boundless energy contained within the dragon blood still did not end like this, all the way until Ye Yuan broke through to the Eighth Level Sea Transformation, did it finally stop.


    When a brand new Ye Yuan appeared before the black-clothed person''s eyes, his entire person was in a complete daze.


    "This boy . . . he really succeeded! His original talent was already very startling. Having experienced the dragon blood''s remolding at this time, it''s simply going to be heaven-defying!" The black-clothed person sucked in a cold breath.


    Ye Yuan was very pleased with his current body. Even if he did not use essence energy, his entire body was filled with the feeling of strength too.


    He had a feeling that even if he did not make use of essence energy, he could sweep away Sea Transformation Realm martial artists too!


    "The power of dragon blood is indeed heaven-defying. My physical body actually became formidable to such a degree! A large quantity of true dragon aura is held within my essence energy right now. It can at least increase the power of my martial techniques by 30%! Furthermore, the power of the dragon blood did not dissipated but actually fused into my blood, creating a sort of bloodline. One could say that I''m currently already a Half-Dragon Physique!"


    Ye Yuan examined his own body and was inexplicably thrilled too.


    This true dragon''s blood was too terrifying. What it brought to him was simply a completely remolding transformation.


    The original Ye Yuan with mediocre talent was now a genius in its true sense at present!


    Ye Yuan felt like he had a sensation of teeming with power, and he could not refrain from lifting his head up and giving a long howl, unleashing a punch abruptly!


    "Flame Movement Carnage!"


    Once the fiery-red fist shadow appeared, the entire space seemed to be trembling. Intense trembling as well as detonation sounds emitted in the air.


    "This boy!" The black-clothed person was also very alarmed when he saw this punch of Ye Yuan''s.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, ordinary late-stage Soul Seas were completely not his match!


    Breaking through boundaries, Ye Yuan current mood was excellent. He cupped his fists and said to the void, "Many thanks to Senior for gifting dragon blood! Ye Yuan is endlessly grateful!"


    The black-clothed person could not help choking up. He previously swore that Ye Yuan was dead for sure. But now, not only was Ye Yuan standing in front of him perfectly well, his strength even soared by leaps and bounds.


    At present, Ye Yuan gave thanks. Although there was no intention of mocking him, the black-clothed person''s face was burning hot.


    The black-clothed person was embarrassed to acknowledge this. He just casually waved his hand. The Vast Heaven Stele landed in the inheritance space with a bang.


    Ye Yuan saw that the black-clothed person did not seem to have the intention of opening his mouth, so he just smiled and walked towards the Vast Heaven Stele.


    When Ye Yuan''s divine sense probed into the Vast Heaven Stele, he could not help being greatly taken aback.


    "What I visualize is still the Scorching True Intent. Why would I come to a stretch of frozen and snow-covered land? Is there a mistake? No way, right? The Vast Heaven Stele can make mistakes too?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    As far as the eye could see, it was entirely a vast expanse of whiteness; not a single crap to do with fire at all.


    Ye Yuan''s thinking was very simple. No matter how many true intents one comprehended, it was also not as practical as specializing in one true intent.


    Rather than wasting time to visualize other true intents, might as well cultivate the Scorching True Intent to supreme level!


    True intent to supreme true intent was a massive chasm of difference. Crossing it would be a boundless plain. Unable to cross it and one could only fade into the crowd.


    In the Divine Realm, one could not tell how many martial artists could grasp true intent; but it was far from what those at the Lower Realms could compare to.


    Yet, those able to grasp supreme true intent were in the minority.


    Ye Yuan had never been satisfied with grasping true intent. His goal was supreme true intent!


    Only by grasping supreme true intent could he have the qualifications to contend with Ji Canglan, to have the capital to avenge his hatred.


    Although the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Sword intent was powerful, it was still unable to defeat Ji Canglan. As the number one expert of the Medicine King Hall, how could Ji Canglan possibly not have supreme true intent?


    Ji Canglan was indeed a rarely seen genius of the Martial Path. Even if his strength were inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings, the disparity would not be too great either.


    Wanting to surpass Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan needed to become even stronger!


    Ye Yuan could roam unhindered in the Lower Realms, but he himself knew that after going to the Divine Realm, his advantage would not be that big anymore.


    He could even disregard the immense disparity of a major boundary to cross boundaries and challenge others in the Endless World. But reaching the Divine Realm, even if he could cross boundaries to challenge, it was also impossible to ignore the gap between levels.


    There were large numbers of martial artists in the Divine Realm who could grasp true intent. Among them, there was no lack of martial artists who grasped some extremely powerful true intents.


    So much so that the Divine Realm''s young generation already comprehended the elementary form of supreme true intent at this current realm of his!


    Compared to those people, Ye Yuan''s advantage was naturally all gone as well.


    Therefore, right now, Ye Yuan could only become even stronger. Only then would he have the capital to gain a foothold when arriving at the Divine Realm!


    But comprehending true intents simply had no way of letting him become stronger. Only supreme true intents could let him walk further.


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, him casually comprehending multiple true intents in this Vast Heaven Stele was not an issue. But supreme true intent was different.


    Comprehending true intent was with decades and centuries as a unit of measurement. And many Divine Kings in the Divine Realm only comprehended one supreme true intent throughout their lifetime. It could be seen how hard it was to comprehend supreme true intent.


    Furthermore, the Scorching True Intent was even a kind that was extremely hard to comprehend among them. Even if Ye Yuan was brimming with confidence, it was also impossible to succeed in comprehending entirely inside this Vast Heaven Stele within a short period of time.


    But without any doubt, this Vast Heaven Stele could let his comprehension road shrink tremendously!


    But what the hell was this right now?


    What Ye Yuan wanted to comprehend was the Scorching Supreme True Intent, not the Extreme Cold Supreme True Intent. Why would the Vast Heaven Stele send him to such an environment?


    "But . . . what the hell is this place? It''s really cold!"


    In this space, Ye Yuan''s consciousness was seemingly about to be frozen. This also involuntarily made him release the Scorching True Intent to resist this kind of extreme cold weather.

 576 Endless Benefits

    Very soon, Ye Yuan discovered that his own essence energy expenditure speed was very rapid!


    Even with Ye Yuan''s control over essence energy reaching a very subtle degree, he only persisted for half a day''s time before being completely frozen into a popsicle.


    Extreme Cold Concept and Scorching Concept were two kinds of diametrically opposed concepts. Ye Yuan determined that this was not the Vast Heaven Stele''s blunder very soon, but it wanted him to temper his Scorching True Intent through this sort of method!


    This degree of extreme cold, Ye Yuan was completely unable to comprehend.


    Extreme Cold True Intent belonged to the ice-attribute true intent. And ice-attribute true intents belonged to an important branch of Concept of Water.


    Ye Yuan had not even learned the rudiments of the Concept of Water, let alone say comprehending the Extreme Cold True Intent.


    This was like a Soul Sea Realm martial artist telling an Essence Qi Realm martial artist how Soul Sea Realms cultivated; those at the Essence Qi Realm were simply unable to comprehend.


    Hence, this way of tempering true intent was surely for the sake of the Scorching True Intent.


    It was just that how to go and comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent, Ye Yuan did not have any clues at all.


    However, he was not in a rush either. The Scorching Supreme True Intent was too hard to comprehend. He had never thought of accomplishing it in one stroke.


    Since the Vast Heaven Stele space had a shortcut to walk, he actually saved a lot of time already.


    If placed in the outside world, who knows how much time he had to spend before he could find a way to learn the basics.


    Scorching True Intent to supreme true intent, the Scorching Supreme True Intent, there was a massive ridge. Even the Spirit Bristle Divine King also spent several hundred years back then before succeeding in comprehending.


    If Ye Yuan could comprehend successfully within a few days, then it would really be a joke.


    To be able to achieve a position among the Ten Great Divine Kings, which one of them wasn''t somebody with unparalleled talent? Though Ye Yuan''s comprehension abilities were high, to talk about being hundreds, thousands of times greater than the Spirit Bristle Divine King, that was too exaggerated as well.


    The black-clothed person stared at Ye Yuan from inside the void and muttered to himself, "This boy is indeed a self-aware person; he knows the logic of biting off more than one can chew. Looks like his horizons are much greater compared to the other Endless World martial artists! True intent is but the start of cultivation. What''s truly powerful is still supreme true intent! If this boy can comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent, then the next three rounds most likely won''t be able to stump him."


    The black-clothed person thought about it, and he could not help laughing in spite of himself and said, "I''m really muddled up by this punk. The Scorching Supreme True Intent is one of the pinnacle few kinds of supreme true intents. Even if his talent is monstrous, without a hundred, eighty years, one can also forget about having some accomplishments. Right now, inside the inheritance space, the time flow is 30 to 1. The second Perfect Clear has a reward of six days, which is also to say that he only has 180 day''s time. 180 days to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent isn''t even enough to fill the gaps between one''s teeth, right?"


    A hundred, eighty years to have some accomplishments, this was already a tremendously high appraisal of Ye Yuan.


    One had to know that for a Divine King powerhouse in the Divine Realm, if he could comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent during his lifetime, his strength would be an immensely powerful existence among Divine Kings.


    Ye Yuan being able to have some accomplishments in eighty to a hundred years, such an appraisal could not be said to not be high.


    180 days in comparison to a hundred, eighty years, was truly just a twinkle. Even wanting to cross the threshold was very challenging.


    . . . . . .


    Time flew by quickly in the inheritance space for Ye Yuan. In the outside world, only a few short days had passed.


    As expected, Qin Yan and Yin Yanhua were both killed in the fifth level by the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array and kicked out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    When they heard that Ye Yuan cleared the first six levels perfectly, each one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Apart from the two of them, Qi Hai even let Liu Hong and Guo Taoqun stay.


    These four strongest people of the junior generation were all now beside Qi Hai.


    "The four of you, just cultivate in seclusion here. I''ll safeguard you guys. You all should have much comprehension and benefits in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Entering seclusion at this time is the most optimum period. The outside world''s matters naturally have those Divine Traversing Realm experts to go and worry over. Having the few of you more to join them won''t have much impact," Qi Hai said to the four people.


    "Yes, Old Hai." The four people acknowledged in unison.


    "Old Hai, did you keep us behind for the sake of cultivation?" Guo Taoqun plucked up his courage and asked weakly.


    Although they were the strongest ones among the junior generation, in front of Qi Hai, they were still out-and-out juniors.


    This Old Hai before their eyes was a legendary-class expert; he was an existence even more powerful than their old ancestors.


    Qi Hai said coolly, "It''s naturally not just for cultivation. I kept you guys behind in order to wait for Ye Yuan to come out."


    Qi Hai did not hide it either, directly saying out his true intentions.


    "Wait for Ye Yuan?" Liu Hong was a bit stunned.


    Guo Taoqun and the others were not surprised at all. They had clearly expected it to some extent long ago.


    Actually, Liu Hong was still extremely dejected in his heart right now. Although he achieved the goal of shocking everyone with one move this Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time, he never would have thought that an existence a hundred times, a thousand times more monstrous than him would actually emerge too.


    Under Ye Yuan''s halo, his sense of existence was weakened to the extreme.


    This kind of psychological depression, he could not talk to others either. He could only be depressed by himself secretly.


    In the end, he was held back by Qi Hai and was even chuckling to himself for a bit secretly, thinking that he was going to get Old Hai''s heavy grooming.


    Who knew that he would hear Qi Hai say so right now, that he only let the few of them stayed behind for the sake of Ye Yuan.


    This made the little bit of hope that just sprung up for him be extinguished again mercilessly.


    Qi Hai was shrewd and experienced with age. How could he not perceive Liu Hong''s emotions?


    But he just treated as if he did not see and said coolly, "Ye Yuan''s gains in this Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time is definitely more than what we imagine. After he comes out this time, he''ll become the indisputable leader of your junior generation! I believe that in the near future, he might become the entire Endless World''s young people''s idol! This point, you all need to have a clear understanding yourselves. I know that the four of you are all proud individuals and arrogant at heart. But in front of Ye Yuan, you guys don''t have the capital to be arrogant in the least bit! Do you understand?"


    The Qin Yan trio all nodded their heads slightly when they heard that. They had long already accepted this fact.


    Ye Yuan''s rising speed was seriously too fast. They could not catch up even by whipping their horses.


    The martial artist world had always been a world which talked using strength. Ye Yuan already used his strength to utterly conquer these so-called strongest people in the junior generation.


    Especially when they saw that scene of Ye Yuan killing the illusionary spirits in the fifth level. It simply made them unable to give rise to the desire to chase after.


    Yet, before entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Liu Hong had not heard of Ye Yuan before at all. This made him feel in his heart some difficulties to adapt to things.


    Qi Hai''s words were actually primarily said for him to hear.


    "En?"


    Qi Hai frowned slightly. Liu Hong involuntarily shuddered and hurriedly said, "Old Hai, Liu Hong understands!"


    Qi Hai nodded his head and continued, "The purpose of me making you guys stay behind is very simple. The realm war has already started in full-scale now. From now onwards, the four of you have to keep on following by Ye Yuan''s side, and listen to his instructions! You don''t need to look at me with those eyes. I''m not asking you guys to break away from your own sects, but I am taking into consideration for the sake of your futures, and for the sake of the Endless World''s future! Following by his side, you will receive endless benefits!"

 577 Be Proud of Todays Choice

    "Of course, I won''t force you guys to stay by his side. If you yourselves aren''t willing, you can leave right now."


    Finished talking, Qi Hai pulled out a flask of wine calmly and went to the stone table by the side to start pouring himself a cup to drink on his own.


    This was the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that Ye Yuan gave him. This time, he specially brought it along with him.


    He knew that these four people would definitely be very conflicted and surely would not have an answer for a short while.


    Forget about Liu Hong; the other three people were all the top proud children of heaven of a world, gathering millions of gazes on them.


    Even if they admired Ye Yuan very much right now, it also did not represent that they were willing to be Ye Yuan''s underlings, listening to Ye Yuan''s assignment for every matter.


    But Qi Hai had his own considerations. Ye Yuan had never belonged to the Endless World. He was destined to radiate splendor in the Divine Realm!


    With Ye Yuan''s current improvement speed, he believed that this day would not be too distant.


    Maybe 10 years, but even so, the maximum would not exceed 20 years!


    However, to talk about where the Endless World''s final hope lay, that was absolutely Ye Yuan!


    Zhao Tianyin this Boundless Realm existence was akin to a gigantic mountain pressing down on Qi Hai''s heart.


    Once the realm passageway was completely stabilized and the Wind Emperor personally descended upon the Endless World, it would probably be hard for him, a Realmlord, to survive as well.


    Initially, he was constantly worrying about this matter, all the way until he saw Ye Yuan''s spectacular performance in the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time!


    Yes! Qi Hai was completely awe-inspired!


    Perfect Completion two consecutive times and directly making it into the seventh level!


    Such a result, not say that it would never be seen again, but it was absolutely unprecedented!


    Moreover, in just this half a month''s time, Ye Yuan already broke through multiple realms in a row, breaking through to middle-stage Sea Transformation.


    Such cultivation speed, who could guarantee that he would be incapable of having the strength to contend with the Wind Emperor before he descended?


    An Endless World youth being able to obtain a Divine Realm''s inheritance was no doubt impressive. But Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness was clearly not due to this. The most remarkable thing about Ye Yuan was not the Divine Realm inheritance, but that remarkable talent of his! It was himself!


    Qi Hai dared to confirmed that even if the Divine Realm''s legacies landed on these four people before his eyes, they absolutely could not reach Ye Yuan''s level either!


    After all, no matter how incredible the legacy, it also needed the martial artist to go and comprehend concepts bit by bit, to go and cultivate essence energy.


    Essence energy cultivation was hard to say. But this sort of thing like concepts comprehension, it required talent.


    The reason why Ye Yuan was powerful was that his concepts comprehension threw these few people in front of him multiple streets behind!


    And to make these four people follow Ye Yuan was also hoping that they could become the Endless World''s future hope; it was to let them mature even faster and become even stronger!


    If they could not let go of the pride in their hearts, Qi Hai could not help them either.


    "Okay! I''ll stay behind to follow Ye Yuan!"


    What made Qi Hai rather surprised was that the first one to speak up was actually the Qin Yan who had a grudge with Ye Yuan.


    "I''m staying!"


    "I''m staying too!"


    Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua practically followed right after. But Liu Hong became rather hesitant.


    This sort of situation now was far too drastically different from what he predicted before coming to the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    He did not think that he actually had to be a lackey for a youth much younger than him now.


    "I . . ." Liu Hong revealed a difficult look and became hesitant to speak.


    Qi Hai gave him a sidelong glance and said coolly, "No need to be conflicted. Willing means willing. Unwilling means unwilling. I won''t make things difficult for you just because you choose to leave. Furthermore, I came up with this idea at the last minute as well and still haven''t discussed it with Ye Yuan yet. Whether he''s willing to or not is still another matter altogether!"


    This matter was indeed what he conceived impromptu. The Fierce Gale World''s abnormal activities made him rather uneasy.


    No matter which angle one analyzed from, the move of massacring cities was the dumbest one. But were the Fierce Gale World folks really a bunch of fools?


    This Liu Hong''s talent was indeed decent. That was why Qi Hai had the thought of keeping him behind together with the others.


    "Actually, you don''t need to feel wronged. I believe you''ve perceived it too; Ye Yuan''s talent and strength, you won''t be able to catch up for the rest of your life too. When he cleared the fifth level, he already had that kind of strength. The second Perfect Clear this time, it''s still uncertain what kind of heaven-defying rewards he obtained. Coming out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, he''s already on a completely different level of martial artist from us. Following him won''t bring disgrace to you. Maybe there might come a day where you would even be proud because of today''s choice!" At this time, Qin Yan suddenly voiced out to urge.


    Qi Hai glugged a mouthful of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew and said with a smile, "Not maybe. It''s definitely!"


    Liu Hong finally sighed slightly and said to Qi Hai, "Okay, I''ll stay behind!"


    "Alright. Since that''s the case, you guys each enter seclusion to comprehend then."


    Regarding Liu Hong''s choice, Qi Hai was not very surprised.


    This person was not someone stupid. Or else, he would not have his present accomplishments either. How he should choose, he was actually very clear in his heart. It was just that he could not cross this hurdle in his heart.


    As long as the gains and losses were analyzed clearly, he could make a wise choice.


    . . . . . .


    In a blink, Ye Yuan had already spent over five months in the snow-covered land of ice.


    In these five months plus, Ye Yuan was frozen to death many times. Each time was death because of depleting essence energy.


    In order to not freeze to death, Ye Yuan thought of countless ways. Yet, it yielded very little success.


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan released the Scorching True Intent to maintain his body temperature. He discovered that this way would exhaust essence energy very quickly and die.


    Later on, Ye Yuan became wiser. He only maintained the released true intent at a very low level to barely ensure that he would not be frozen to death. But that sort of extremely cold feeling made him exceptionally clear-minded.


    That bone-piercing chill made him have limitless despair!


    But Ye Yuan still toughed it out!


    Under Heart Like Still Water heart realm, Ye Yuan gingerly maintained the feeble true intent to resist the freezing cold.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan finally touched upon some know-how!


    Ye Yuan discovered that he could sense the Scorching True Intent''s true essence more clearly under such a condition!


    Even though this sort of feeling was still extremely fuzzy, at least he had a direction to strive towards; it was not hazy like before.


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been fastidiously experiencing the Scorching True Intent all along, and he gradually had some understanding in his heart.


    Heat was a kind of energy release. When the temperature was not high, this sort of release would not produce too much destructive power.


    But once the temperature rose to an extremely terrifying level, the destructive force of that Scorching True Intent would be very alarming!


    In the end, it was still how high a degree the martial artist could raise the temperature of the Scorching True Intent to!


    The higher the temperature of the martial technique released, the greater the destructive power evidently caused!


    Just like the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s Nine Suns Burning Heaven, its horrifying destructive power was not due to its large area-of-effect, but it was because he could raise the temperature within a certain sphere of influence to an extremely terrifying level.


    A level that was able to obliterate Divine King powerhouses!


    How profound a concept did that have to be?!


    The present Ye Yuan was clearly still far off!


    Figuring out this link, Ye Yuan no longer used the Scorching Concept to maintain his own body temperature anymore!

 578 Preliminary Peep at the Door

    "Flame Movement Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan released all of his essence energy, wanting to shatter this world of ice and snow.


    Yet, everything was futile. His Flame Movement Carnage was incapable of stirring up even a drop of sea spray.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of giving up. He swung his fists like this over and over again, repeatedly like a moth flying into the fire, all the way until he froze to death.


    Then once more!


    Ye Yuan already could not remember how many times he had died and how many punches he had swung.


    Either way, every time he swung his fists, he had to go all out to release the Scorching True Intent to the limits!


    "Still a little bit more! Just a tiny bit!"


    These countless times of swinging his fists was not a wasted effort. Continuously persisting in the state of his limits, this made his utilization of the Scorching True Intent become even more practiced. The understanding became deeper too.


    And now, Ye Yuan finally felt that he was gradually going to touch that threshold!


    This feeling made him excited, yet dejected. He was excited that the Scorching Supreme True Intent''s gate was right in front of him; but feeling dejected that this step kept on being distant just like the end of the world for very long, unable to break through for a long time.


    How could the gate to a supreme true intent be so easy to step inside?


    But what Ye Yuan lacked the least was patience. In his previous life, in order to research a type of medicinal pill, he would even perform up to a million dreary experiments.


    If there were not this sort of grinding process, he could not possibly have become the Divine Realm''s youngest peak Alchemy Emperor either.


    This bit right now was simply just child''s play to him.


    Just like this, his fists danced about over and over again, seeking that sensation of breakthrough bit by bit.


    By the time it was the 170th day, Ye Yuan finally found a spark of inspiration!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan struck out a punch with all his might. The snowy-ice space finally underwent a trace of change!


    It was this trace of change that made Ye Yuan inexplicably excited.


    That punch earlier shattered that extreme cold very briefly!


    Even though it was only for an extremely brief time, Ye Yuan sensed it clearly!


    But this punch, likewise, exhausted all of his essence energy. Ye Yuan would be frozen to death very soon.


    Reviving again, Ye Yuan did not attack randomly right away, but he meticulously visualized that sort of feeling just now.


    Mustering strength, punching out, shattering space!


    It was this sort of feeling!


    Ye Yuan once again sensed that the instant the extreme cold was smashed, the extreme cold weather had that tiny hint of loosening up.


    Although this sort of extreme cold was very stubborn and recaptured the position immediately, that kind of feeling absolutely would not be wrong!


    "Heh heh, hard work pays off! Finally got a preliminary peep at the door!"


    Even Ye Yuan himself could not help being proud of himself for a while either.


    He only used a short 170 day''s time to get a preliminary peep at the door of the Scorching Supreme True Intent. This was absolutely a very remarkable achievement.


    Even the Spirit Bristle Divine King back them spent at least several decades time to get a preliminary peep at the door of this supreme true intent.


    As it was said: the first step was the hardest for everything. The hardest thing about comprehending concepts was not the process of comprehension, but finding the way to cross the threshold.


    Even if Ye Yuan already comprehended the Scorching True Intent, to go a step further and achieve supreme true intent, it was another world.


    This degree of difficulty was no less than an aboriginal ascending to the Divine Realm from the Endless World.


    Apart from Ye Yuan this exception, for an aboriginal to want to ascend to the Divine Realm from the Endless World, there might not be one in several hundred years either. The level of difficulty could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan could get a preliminary peep at the door in a short 170 days. This was absolutely an incredible heroic undertaking.


    Of course, even if Ye Yuan got a preliminary peep at the door, the road at the back was extremely hard to walk too. But once this step was taken out, it was the most solid step.


    The astonishment in the black-clothed person''s heart could be imagined. "This boy, just where did this freak pop out from? This is the Scorching Supreme True Intent, not some lousy common-ware. 170 days! He only used 170 days to get a preliminary peep at the door!"


    The black-clothed person''s pride was already beaten completely battered and bruised by Ye Yuan under the circumstances where he knew nothing of.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan completed far too many impossible to complete tasks. The black-clothed person already felt that he was numb. But he was still shocked by Ye Yuan once more without any surprise.


    Even though the black-clothed person did not tell him the time he remained in the inheritance space this time, he reckoned that it was almost up as well.


    Even if there were still time left, there definitely wouldn''t be much left either. To want to get any progress in the Scorching Concept, the time was simply insufficient. Hence, Ye Yuan thought of the Nine Characters True Word Formula.


    Ye Yuan decided to use this bit of time remaining to research this Nine Characters True Word Formula for a bit.


    This Nine Characters True Word Formula was vastly different from ordinary martial techniques. There was no general outline, no cultivation method, just nine very blurry words, giving people a feeling of having no way to start.


    Ye Yuan mustered up Heart Like Still Water and started to visualize the ''Lin'' character formula. This already became a habit of Ye Yuan''s. Under Heart Like Still Water heart realm, regardless whether was it cultivation or battle for Ye Yuan, the efficiency was very high. Yet, in the next moment, Ye Yuan''s entire body suddenly trembled!


    This Heart Like Still Water Realm actually produced an inexplicable resonance with the ''Lin'' character!


    "Could it be that these two have some connection?" Ye Yuan said in great surprise.


    This Heart Like Still Water was successfully comprehended by chance when he was at the Nine Heavens Road. It was completely unrelated to this ''Lin'' character.


    But he clearly sensed that the heart realm which was stuck at the bottleneck all along seemed to have that tiny hint of loosening.


    On the other side, the originally extremely fuzzy ''Lin'' character in the sea of consciousness, under Ye Yuan''s visualization, seemed to gradually become clearer.


    The two, heart realm and the ''Lin'' character, seemingly like dry wood meeting raging flames, instantaneously producing a resonance!


    Under this resonance, luck came as Ye Yuan''s mind became more agile, and he actually involuntarily formed a strange hand seal.


    This hand seal was not complicated. But not knowing why, when Ye Yuan formed the seal, it was unbelievably strenuous.


    The method to form the seals was clearly in Ye Yuan''s head. However, even the first hand seal, he was unable to form it even by mustering all of his might!


    It was as if within this seal, it contained tremendous repulsive force, separating his both hands.


    Ye Yuan was a stubborn person too. This first seal, he already formed more than half of it. Just the final step and it was going to succeed.


    At this time, he absolutely did not wish to give up.


    Hence, he used all the essence energy in his body, wanting to complete the seal.


    Puhwark!


    Ye Yuan finally could not hold back the sweetness in his throat. A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.


    "This seal is exceedingly overbearing! It actually shocked me till internal injuries! Even the first seal is so profound. How terrifying must the seals at the back be?!" Ye Yuan wiped the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth and could not help saying with an emotional sigh.


    Even though he did not succeed, Ye Yuan could confirm that this ''Lin'' character and heart realm most likely had some kind of connection.


    Ye Yuan already had not broken through in heart realm for very long, constantly marching on the spot. Evidently, he had reached a bottleneck.


    But through the visualization this time, Ye Yuan clearly sensed Heart Like Still Water heart realm loosening up again.


    As long as he continued visualizing, Ye Yuan''s heart realm was bound to have some breakthrough!


    However, what excited Ye Yuan even more was that if visualizing the ''Lin'' character could aid heart realm breakthrough, then didn''t he obtained a method to cultivate heart realm?

 579 Three Palms!

    Heart realm did not have a direct enhancement to a person when it came to combat power. But its auxiliary function was too powerful!


    Along the way, this Heart Like Still Water already helped him for God knows how many times.


    Essence energy realm increase was not something hard to Ye Yuan. But heart realm was different.


    He knew that if there wasn''t any heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, wanting to breakthrough to Heart Like Monolith Realm was too difficult.


    If this Nine Characters True Word Formula could really advance heart realm, then its benefit was huge.


    But this was all just Ye Yuan''s deductions. He only visualized the ''Lin'' character once and could not even form the first hand seal. How could wanting to break through be that easy?


    However, as long as there was a direction to work towards, Ye Yuan believed that he could fumble it out someday.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s vision suddenly blurred, and he was directly kicked out of the inheritance space. It turned out that time was already up.


    His visualization this time, ten days'' time actually passed in a twinkle.


    When Ye Yuan recovered to his senses, he could not help feeling surprised.


    This seventh level''s space was not large but was totally bare. There was only a silhouette that appeared before him. It was precisely that black-clothed person!


    "Is it possible that Senior you''re this seventh level''s guardian?" Ye Yuan figured out the connection very quickly.


    The black-clothed person turned around and said indifferently, "That''s right! This seventh round is very simple. You just have to receive three of my palms and still be able to stand up will do!"


    Simple? Probably wasn''t that simple, right?


    It was only unless this Vast Heaven Pagoda owner was a fool that he would place a simple hurdle at the seventh level.


    This black-clothed person was clearly an expert who was extremely powerful. With Ye Yuan''s present strength, he could not fathom the other party at all.


    If these three palms were so easy to receive, Lu Linfeng would also not have suffered a crushing defeat at this round.


    That was a freak-like existence. Even he could not clear this round. The might of these three palms could be imagined.


    "Senior''s strength is unfathomable. You hitting me with three palms, how can I not die?" Ye Yuan said.


    "Don''t you worry. I''ll suppress my boundary to the level corresponding to yours. You''re Eighth Level Sea Transformation right now. I''ll face you with Eighth Level Sea Transformation!" said the black-clothed person coolly, his tone revealing extreme self-confidence.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became apprehensive. Could it be that Lu Linfeng was the same as him?


    If it was really like this, how formidable did this black-clothed person''s strength have to be?


    Ever since Ye Yuan reincarnated, this was still the first time hearing that somebody dared to battle him with the same realm. Furthermore, what black-clothing said was . . . three palms!


    Three palms and still being able to stand!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan just had to endure these three palms and he could enter the next level successfully!


    This black-clothed person was either a moron, or he had absolute confidence in his own strength.


    Ye Yuan believed that his own performance, this black-clothed person definitely took it all into consideration. He actually still dared to say so under the circumstances where he knew Ye Yuan''s strength. He definitely had full confidence that Ye Yuan was not his match.


    Seemingly discerning Ye Yuan''s worry, the black-clothed person said with a cold smile, "What? Scared?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not so far as to be scared. The worst outcome is merely just losing the qualifications to continue challenging, that''s all. I was just trying to guess Senior''s strength."


    The black-clothed person did not seem to be joking as he said coldly, "You''re wrong! The first six levels indeed didn''t have the possibility of being injured or causing death. But these three levels behind, one might lose their lives at any time! Therefore, don''t you dare to have the mentality of passing by a fluke."


    The black-clothed person paused for a bit and explained, "It''s genuine death!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being startled inwardly. This black-clothed person was clearly not joking. Could it be that the next three levels would really have injury and death accompanying?


    If this was the case, then wasn''t Lu Linfeng . . . beaten down by this fellow?


    Ye Yuan could not imagine the sight of Lu Linfeng being beaten down to the ground by this person and being unable to get up.


    The black-clothed person clearly did not know that Ye Yuan was still in the mood to scoff at Lu Linfeng at this time. He said coolly, "You still have the chance to choose to withdraw now. But once you decide, you don''t have the opportunity anymore."


    Ye Yuan did not have much hesitation as he said straightforwardly, "I choose to challenge!"


    The black-clothed person was a little surprised. Ye Yuan''s reply was too quick as if he did not go through detailed deliberation at all.


    Was this boy brave because of of his superb techniques? Or was he simply missing a few things in his head??


    Although there were few who were able to make it to the seventh round, there was not a single exception; previously, those people all went through a very long mental struggle without exception before mustering up the courage to agree to it.


    Not everyone could face the challenge of death calmly. No matter how overflowing you were with talent.


    Only Ye Yuan seemed to say it without hesitation.


    "You''re sure that you don''t need to reconsider? You should know that in this ten thousand years, there were a total of four people who entered the seventh level. But only a single person could endure my three palms! And the other three people, there was even one who was killed on the spot by me!"


    The black-clothed person was not telling lies. The names on the light screen only showed that there were three people who entered the seventh level. As for their life and death, it could not illustrate.


    Actually, the black-clothed person being made fun of by Ye Yuan time and again, he more or less still had some thoughts of taking revenge in his heart.


    He very much wanted to see fear, this emotion, on Ye Yuan''s face. But this time, he was still disappointed.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look as he said without any fear, "Dying at Senior''s hands only shows that Ye Yuan''s skill was lacking. If I die, then I die. No big deal!"


    Ye Yuan was a person who had died once. He was clearer than anybody in this world the implication of death.


    But it was precisely because so that Ye Yuan yearned even more to obtain more powerful strength!


    After reincarnation, Ye Yuan''s greatest obsession was revenge. Even after going through Ji Zhengyang''s enlightenment, this obsession of Ye Yuan''s did not change. However, he was still able to think rationally; he was still rational enough not to become an emotionless machine controlled by vengeance. He was slowly making his preparation and building up his strength.


    Ye Yuan''s conviction to desire strength was greater than anyone!


    Ji Canglan was too strong. Without absolute strength, Ye Yuan was simply incapable of defeating him.


    With this conviction, Ye Yuan had never lacked courage!


    He dared to challenge everything in this world!


    If he did not even dare to receive the black-clothed person''s three palms, what courage would he have to go find Ji Canglan for revenge?


    All along, facing people much more powerful than him, Ye Yuan had never retreated.


    If gods blocked, kill gods! Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!


    This was the path of a powerhouse!


    Seeing the expression on Ye Yuan''s face, the black-clothed person knew that he belittled him too much.


    True powerhouses absolutely would not fear death!


    Their only fear was . . . fear that they were not strong enough!


    Two Perfect Completions in a row, Ye Yuan naturally knew that there were even greater rewards waiting for him behind this.


    And the current Ye Yuan made no effort to conceal the yearning for this reward as well.


    This desire of becoming strong had long surpassed life and death already!


    The black-clothed person fell silent for a long time before heaving a sigh and saying, "Looks like I''ve underestimated you! These three palms are extraordinary. You have to be careful!"


    As he said, the black-clothed person''s realm dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. But the aura on his body was rising steadily instead!


    Ye Yuan and the black-clothed person faced each other from a distance, but their faces had never-before seen solemnness!

 580 Counterattack

    Seeing the black-clothed person''s harrowing aura, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless in the slightest, mobilizing all the essence energy in his body and gathering it onto his fist!


    The palm wind was too fast. Ye Yuan simply could not cast Myriad Rain Sword Blades in time at all.


    The aura was astonishing. But the black-clothed person''s actions were not shocking.


    He raised his palm slightly and just pushed out three palms in succession in a casual manner.


    Three azure dragons carried a series of dragon roars as they galloped at full speed towards Ye Yuan!


    The palm force had yet to arrive, and a sensation which made Ye Yuan feel suffocated was already transmitted in front of him.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan felt an unprecedented pressure!


    "Essence Energy Ignition! Flame Movement Carnage!"


    At this moment, Ye Yuan used the most powerful Flame Movement Carnage without holding anything back, pouring the trace of concept which he comprehended in the inheritance space into it as well.


    Instantaneously, Ye Yuan swung out a myriad of uncountable punches. The entire sky was all Ye Yuan''s fists shadows.


    Yet, those three azure dragons completely disregarded Ye Yuan''s fists shadows, breaching the defense Ye Yuan laid out at the forefront. It was as if breaking a dead branch from a tree.


    They broke through Ye Yuan''s fist shadows savagely, instantly tearing those red-colored fist shadows to shreds.


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to see it. He still brandished his fists frenziedly, striking towards the three azure dragons unceasingly.


    These three azure dragons seemed to be like living things, destroying everything that obstructed them exceedingly tyrannically.


    Ye Yuan in front of them was frail like a little kitty.


    If such tyrannical three palms landed on Ye Yuan''s body, the outcome could not be imagined!


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to be aware of the approach of danger. His fist speed became faster and faster. The fist shadows became increasingly concentrated!


    Initially, the black-clothed person still looked at Ye Yuan''s struggle calmly. But his expression at this time involuntarily became somber!


    The advancement speed of those three azure dragons actually became progressively slower!


    The concentrated fist shadows landed on the azure dragons'' bodies. Even if it only scratched an itch for him, Ye Yuan''s fist shadows were swift to the extreme. It would cause considerable obstruction to them as well.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan already struck out uncountable punches. Moreover, his speed was still becoming faster!


    Through the true dragon''s blood reforming, Ye Yuan''s current body was already extremely powerful and could fully withstand this sort of taxing punching speed!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Countless fist shadows exploding sounds reverberated in the air, looking very spectacular!


    The bodies of the three azure dragons actually gradually became illusionary. This was a sign of their energy about to be depleted!


    "Hiss . . . This boy actually received three palms with such a method!"


    When seeing the azure dragons'' bodies gradually becoming faint, the black-clothed person knew that Ye Yuan clearing this seventh level was already almost guaranteed!


    Actually, the black-clothed person had never thought that Ye Yuan could not pass through the seventh level at all. Ye Yuan could clear the rounds perfectly twice. His concepts comprehension was far from what other martial artists could compare to.


    Even that Li Fantian was much worse compared to Ye Yuan!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan had gone through the true dragon''s blood''s remolding. Within his essence energy now contained the qi of a true dragon.


    The power of the Flame Movement Carnage that Ye Yuan fired out now was already much more powerful compared to previously.


    If such a Ye Yuan could not pass the seventh level, he could directly find a piece of tofu to commit suicide.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan punched out a fist one after another. The three azure dragons'' silhouettes already became fainter and fainter. That sort of initial savageness and pride were already completely gone at this time.


    Finally, with a bang, the three azure dragons directly exploded in the air, and they were already less than 30 feet distance away from Ye Yuan.


    "En? What''s this boy doing?"


    The black-clothed person suddenly felt puzzled. After Ye Yuan utterly annihilated the three azure dragons, he was still punching non-stop!


    The air gave off dense, yet dull detonating sounds, making people feel incredibly stifled.


    "Awoo!"


    Suddenly, a fiery-red colossal dragon rushed out from Ye Yuan''s fist shadows, hurtling straight at the black-clothed person!


    The black-clothed person''s pupils constricted, and he sucked in a cold breath, "Hiss . . . This boy . . . is truly a freak!"


    Talking was talking. The black-clothed person''s hand movements were not slow.


    It was only to see him slowly reached out with his palm and grabbed hold of the dragon''s head quite leisurely, and then pinched lightly just like that. The originally violent red dragon immediately dissipated into nothing!


    "Huu . . . Huu . . . Huu . . ."


    Ye Yuan finally stopped and collapsed onto the ground straight away, panting heavily.


    He was already totally drained of strength and could not even move even a finger at this time.


    "How many years has it been? You''re the first person who still has the strength to spare to counterattack me. Truly remarkable!" The black-clothed person finally did not stint with his praises.


    Even though he had long guessed that the seventh level could not stump Ye Yuan, he never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually still had strength left over to counterattack after neutralizing his attacks!


    Those three palms of his earlier were not really sent out casually. It was just that he had long already had full control over palm force. That was why it appeared to be effortless.


    In his view, Ye Yuan being able to barely receive these three palms was already considered not bad.


    The matter developed just as he expected in the beginning too. He estimated that Ye Yuan''s limits were also just barely making it through these three palms.


    But he never would have thought that Ye Yuan''s limits far exceeded his expectations!


    No, it should be said that Ye Yuan''s limits were just that much. But when he used Flame Movement Carnage earlier, he seemed to have found some inspiration. Hence, he clenched his teeth and persisted longer than he initially could!


    The first half segment was Ye Yuan''s strength, while the latter half segment . . . was entirely Ye Yuan using willpower to grit his teeth and persevere on!


    In this countless years, geniuses that the black-clothed person had seen were like schools of carps crossing the river; they were too many to enumerate! Yet, he had never seen before any genius with Ye Yuan''s willpower!


    When one''s physical abilities exceeded the limits, it would be immensely agonizing. Furthermore, all kinds of discordance would appear in one''s movements.


    Without staggering willpower, there was just no way to control one''s strength.


    But just now, each of Ye Yuan''s fist was controlled very perfectly, all the way until that final earth-shaking blow.


    In the end, that fire dragon crumbled in a single blow in front of the black-clothed person only because he was too strong!


    The power of that blow was already not beneath the Myriad Rain Sword Blades in the slightest!


    "No wonder you could refine the true dragon''s blood. Just based on this willpower of yours, your future accomplishments are already limitless!" the black-clothed person praised.


    Ye Yuan did not wish to speak nor did he have the strength to talk. He was already dead-exhausted.


    Seeing the situation casually, the black-clothed person fired out a streak of essence energy into Ye Yuan''s body.


    Ye Yuan shuddered slightly and finally recovered some strength.


    He sat up and said to the black-clothed person, "This . . . Is it considered successful?"


    The black-clothed person was dazed, and he could not help laughing as he said, "Of course! These three levels don''t have any Perfect Completion. If there was, you already cleared the round perfectly just now!"


    Ye Yuan struck out the final punch and directly laid on the ground. According to what the black-clothed person said previously, it should be failing the challenge.


    But even a moron could tell that Ye Yuan had indeed cleared the round. Furthermore, he cleared the round very beautifully!


    Ye Yuan lifted his head slightly and forced a smile and said, "Huhu, then that''s good."

 581 Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!

    Only now did Ye Yuan know that these three levels actually did not have the talk of Perfect Clear.


    But just from those three palms earlier, there was indeed no need for the so-called Perfect Completion.


    Scattering those three azure dragons just now, he already used up all of his strength. If not for stubbornly holding onto one last breath, he would have fainted long ago.


    To be able to last all the way until the final blow, on the one hand, stemmed from his powerful willpower. On the other hand, it was because his body was reformed by a true dragon''s blood before.


    "You''re really a genius. To actually grasp the strength of a true dragon so quickly and fuse it into the Scorching True Intent! Tsk tsk, boy, I think very highly of you!" the black-clothed person praised.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, I''m a little confused myself. When I went all out to deal with Senior''s palm force, the true dragon strength incubating in my body actually stirred, and it entered my fists bit by bit."


    The black-clothed person nodded slightly and said, "Looks like you''re a natural martial artist. Your future accomplishments might be above that fellow''s!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being absent-minded when he heard that. From his previous life to this life, this was still the first time somebody gave him such an appraisal.


    The previous life''s Ye Yuan likewise grew up in the midst of countless praises. But everyone all did not pay attention to his martial talent. Because his alchemy talent was too dazzling, so much so that it made everyone all overlook his talent in the Martial Path.


    All the way until this lifetime, Ye Yuan resolved to become a Martial Path powerhouse. The more he placed effort in the Martial Path, the more did he discover that he seemed to have similarly tremendous potential in it.


    Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword, Heart Like Still Water, Concept of Wind, Concept of Fire. These things all required martial artists to spend immense effort to go and comprehend. But he did not seem to have expended much time comprehending them.


    Even though quite a few among these were because of coincidences, one had to admit that his talent played a very huge part.


    Without talent, even if lucky chances came, one could only enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed.


    "Since you have some comprehensions, then regulate your breathing and digest your gains earlier right here for a bit. At the eighth level, I''ll only unleash two palms. You have to try your best!" Finished talking, the black-clothed person vanished.


    "Huu . . . Finally going to enter the eighth level huh . . ." Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and muttered to himself.


    The lowest goal which Ye Yuan set for himself was the seventh level. Except, he did not expect that the gains he had in this Vast Heaven Pagoda far surpassed his own imaginations.


    Now, his strength soared rapidly. He totally had the qualifications to challenge the eighth level.


    Ye Yuan even somewhat suspected if this was set up by the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner beforehand, and that he was currently walking step by step until now according to the route planned out by the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner.


    Otherwise, it was simply impossible for an ordinary genius to walk to this step!


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that this was a systematic training to nurture geniuses!


    Courage and insight, comprehension abilities, and strength. Not one could be missing!


    That fellow mentioned by the black-clothed person, Ye Yuan felt that he was very likely to be this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner.


    This person was truly an enigmatic existence!


    Ye Yuan felt like this Vast Heaven Pagoda owner might even be much stronger compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings. Could he be a Deity Realm existence?


    But right now in this world, how could it possibly give birth to Deity Realm powerhouses?


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda was something that only appeared in these ten thousand years. Could it be that within this ten thousand years, there were really Deity Realm powerhouses born?


    If the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner was really a Deity Realm powerhouse, where did he go?


    Deity Realm powerhouses had long lifespans. Living for ten thousand years was absolutely not an issue.


    Ye Yuan felt that the riddles in his heart were getting more and more.


    "Huhu, who cares. Want to attain Deity Realm, I first have to kill Ji Canglan!"


    Ye Yuan chased this messy stuff out of his mind and started to meditate to recover essence energy.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan opened both eyes. His body already recovered to its optimum state.


    "Heh heh, if Lu Linfeng that old thing knows that I made it past the seventh level, who knows what expression he would have?" Ye Yuan suddenly remembered Lu Linfeng and could not help finding it funny.


    Looks like Lu Linfeng should have comprehended the Formations Path in the Vast Heaven Stele. That was how he had today''s accomplishments.


    But this old punk''s talent was indeed astonishing too. To actually be able to rely on the Formations Path to achieve Ten Great Divine Kings.


    However, Ye Yuan knew that this Vast Heaven Mystic Realm only opened up a window for Lu Linfeng. His true rise was still after exiting the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm.


    . . . . . .


    Snap!


    Outside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Qi Hai''s hand trembled, crushing the southern sandalwood cup filled with Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew into pieces.


    This action of his startled Qin Yan and the others who were currently in closed-seclusion.


    "Old Hai, what''s wrong?"


    Qi Hai drew a deep breath and said, "You guys see for yourselves!"


    The four people were stunned and followed Qi Hai''s gaze to look at the light screen. It was only to see that Ye Yuan''s name already appeared in the eighth level!


    "Hiss . . . " The four people sucked in a cold breath.


    The eighth level. What kind of concept was this?


    Ye Yuan already tied with the number one person in this ten thousand years, Li Fantian!


    "Now, do you guys still have any opinions about following him?" Qi Hai asked leisurely.


    The four people could not help exchanging glances and shook their heads at the same time.


    What damn opinion was there still?!


    No matter how talented the four of them were, it was impossible to reach this sort of level too!


    Compared to Ye Yuan, they were like fireflies compared to the bright moon; too great a disparity!


    "You all cultivate properly. Don''t lose even the qualifications to follow him!" Qi Hai said with a long sigh.


    . . . . . .


    In the eighth level, Ye Yuan and the black-clothed person faced each other from a distance.


    "Ready? This time, I''ll only unleash two palms, and I will still maintain the same realm as you!" said the black-clothed person.


    Ye Yuan said, "Senior, this palm technique of yours seems to be unleashed with true dragon strength too. Although I didn''t sense a supreme true intent, the power isn''t the slightest bit inferior to supreme true intents. I wonder why?"


    The black-clothed person said, "What''s strange about that? The strength of true dragons escapes the Five Elements in the first place. What the Four Great Divine Beasts relied on came from their bloodline power. And within their bloodline contains the Great Dao of heaven and earth in itself; this is not what humans can compare to. In terms of power, it''s naturally not worse off than supreme true intents. You had refined true dragon''s blood now, and the power of a true dragon is contained within your body too. You should be able to experience the might of bloodline power."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and understood very quickly.


    Divine beasts were all the favored children of heaven. They were born with their might, especially the Four Great Divine Beasts. Their strength was even much stronger compared to many human Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that the Four Great Divine Beasts'' level of divine beasts virtually did not need to cultivate. As long as they matured to become adult divine beasts, they could achieve the divine path. The whole process from beginning to end was unbelievably heaven-defying.


    Hence, divine beasts were all extremely proud races. Even a drop of blood essence contained an exceptionally tyrannical will inside.


    "I got it. Senior, make your move!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The black-clothed person was not long-winded either. This time, he placed both hands together. Immediately, a violent wind howled along with a series of dragon roars emitting!


    "This set of palm technique is named Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. Training to an advanced level can shatter the firmament with force! You have to receive it well!"

 582 Ten Days Time

    Two azure dragons!


    Except that this time, the two azure dragons appeared much more robust compared to the three previously.


    Very clearly, the true dragon strength contained inside was way stronger than before!


    Facing these two azure dragons, Ye Yuan actually had a feeling of his scalp tingling.


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan''s dual fists were like flood dragons heading out to the seas. Two red dragons came out with a roar too!


    This Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was precisely the final attack that Ye Yuan comprehended in the seventh level!


    This attack fused the true dragon strength in Ye Yuan''s body, augmenting the power of Ye Yuan''s Flame Movement Carnage multiple times. It already reached the level of condensed form of gathered essence!


    Virtually instantly, two azure dragons and two red dragons collided together just like this!


    Rumble!


    The collision aftershocks seemingly made the entire space shudder.


    Under this shock wave, the black-clothed person was as firm as a mountain. But Ye Yuan was pushed out far away before he barely managed to stabilize himself.


    Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yuan revolved the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art with all his might to recover essence energy.


    He knew that his Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was not the black-clothed person''s match at all. He had to seize all the opportunity he could to restore his strength so as to respond to the follow-up clash!


    With Ye Yuan''s current essence energy magnitude coupled with this move, Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage, instant-killing Late-stage Soul Sea experts were nothing difficult.


    But in front of the black-clothed person, it appeared too weak to stand up to a single blow!


    The two red dragons only blocked for several breaths of time and were smashed into smithereens by those two azure dragons.


    Those two azure dragons'' remaining momentum was not diminished, hurtling towards Ye Yuan!


    "Thousand Flowing Petals! Explode!"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan already finished preparing the second wave of attacks!


    From the beginning, Ye Yuan had never planned on being able to surpass the black-clothed person''s two palms.


    In the seventh level, he already experienced the might of this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. And this eighth level, he would only unleash two palms. The difficulty would surely surge!


    Otherwise, how could that Li Fantian with such talent possibly lose in this eighth level?


    This Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was already one of his strongest trump cards right now. But it still could not resist the two azure dragons for a short while.


    Since facing attack with attack could not do anything to these two azure dragons, then he could only defend.


    The Thousand Flowing Petals'' offensive power was not strong. But using to defend was an excellent move.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to the Eighth Level Sea Transformation, his essence energy sea already reached a very exaggerated 400 feet. While the average Eighth Level Sea Transformation was also just around 150 feet essence energy sea at the very most.


    His current essence energy thickness was already nearly three times of ordinary martial artists!


    While for most ordinary Soul Sea experts, their essence energy seas were 1000 feet in circumference; merely over twice of Ye Yuan''s.


    One had to know that when Sea Transformation Realm martial artists broke through to Soul Sea, their essence energy sea would snowball up to ten times!


    Wait until Ye Yuan broke through to Soul Sea. How horrifying an extent would the area of his essence energy sea expand to?


    Executing Thousand Flowing Petals with Ye Yuan''s current strength, the power and area of attack were all not what it could be compared to previously.


    Flying petals in the count of hundreds of millions rushed towards the two azure dragons. They attached onto the azure dragons'' bodies and carried out mild explosions unceasingly!


    If it were an ordinary attack, it would have long been totally worn away by this move of Ye Yuan''s and could not arrive in front of him at all.


    But these two azure dragons were too strong!


    They easily defeated Ye Yuan''s two red dragons. How could these petals stop them?


    However, Thousand Flowing Petals was the martial technique which Ye Yuan was most skilled in after all. Its powerful attrition abilities still played a huge part!


    Puff, puff, puff!


    The sounds of petals exploding non-stop transmitted from the air. The two azure dragons'' speed fell abruptly, becoming sluggish.


    Those countless flying petals were like a marsh, making the two azure dragons sank deeper and deeper.


    When the black-clothed person saw this scene, he could not help saying with a smile, "This boy, his means are indeed inexhaustible. So young and he actually comprehended a supreme true intent to this extent. Truly remarkable! If it were a complete supreme true intent, just relying on these two palms really would not be able to do anything against him. But if it''s just this level, it''s still inadequate!"


    Indeed, those two azure dragons were not exploded to death by the Thousand Flowing Petals. Soon they broke out of the layer upon layer of obstacles, charging at Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s expression became intent, and he took out the Xuanying Sword. The starting stance of Myriad Rain Sword Blades was displayed.


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    Thousand Flowing Petals strove for time for Myriad Rain Sword Blades'' casting. This was also Ye Yuan''s final trump card measure!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not hold back, but maneuvered all the remaining essence energy in his body, pouring it into the Myriad Rain Sword Blades in one go!


    The two azure dragons were wrapped in large quantities of petals and rushed for Ye Yuan.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan''s body was akin to a kite with a broken string, flying out.


    And those two azure dragons finally dissipated into thin air too!


    Under this blow, Ye Yuan was finally injured.


    But under his struggling, he finally still stood up.


    Ye Yuan''s innards received tremendous impact. Presently, the wounds sustained were not light.


    The black-clothed person said coolly, "You indeed didn''t let me down! I think you should have guessed it. This ninth level, I''ll only unleash one palm, which is also the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s ultimate palm! The Vast Heaven Pagoda will treat your wounds. You have ten day''s time to be in closed-seclusion here. Perhaps you will have some gains. After ten days, whether or not you can become the first genius to clear the ninth level in this ten thousand years will be up to you!"


    Leaving behind this sentence, the black-clothed person left without even turning his head back.


    Right at this time, a beam of light shot down from the air, enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    This light beam actually had the effects of healing injuries. Ye Yuan''s shrugged off the disorderly emotions and meditated with his legs crossed, recovering injuries with all his strength.


    Less than an hour, Ye Yuan''s injuries were healed.


    "The black-clothed person said that what I''m given is ten day''s time. But this treatment only used an hour''s time? He made me enter seclusion in these ten days. What kind of gains can there be in ten day''s time? But since he said it, it shouldn''t be talking nonsense, right? This eighth level, I''ve virtually already used all of my strength. With my current strength, even if I employ the nameless energy, it''s impossible to pass through the ninth level too!"


    Once his injuries healed, Ye Yuan started to deliberate.


    The words that the black-clothed person said seemed to have profound meaning. Ten day''s time was too short. To say that one''s strength could make staggering progress, that simply could not be accomplished.


    But with Ye Yuan''s present strength, he was likely unable to clear the ninth level at all.


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s ultimate palm. Ye Yuan felt fearful just thinking about it.


    Unless his current strength broke through to Soul Sea, or else, there was simply no way to contend with this so-called ultimate palm.


    But even if Ye Yuan broke through to Soul Sea Realm, this black-clothed person would definitely execute this move with Soul Sea Realm. The outcome was still the same.


    Putting it bluntly, this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s guardian suppressing his boundary to around the same as the challengers all along was for the sake of testing the challengers'' talent and strength.


    Cultivation this thing was too easy for geniuses. There was simply no challenge.


    But concepts comprehension was different. There was simply no way to achieve it in one step.


    "Ten days'' time . . . Just what is it enough to use for?" Ye Yuan unwittingly began to ruminate.

 583 Mobilizing Strength of a True Dragon

    The eighth level''s difficulty could be said to have already reached Ye Yuan''s limits.


    A fraction stronger and Ye Yuan would likely be unable to bear it.


    But the difficulty of this ninth level was most likely not just a tiny bit harder than the eighth level''s.


    With Ye Yuan''s attainments in concepts, even he was unable to pass it. Could it be that there were still people able to pass it?


    Most likely, only unless it was those Divine King powerhouses suppressing their cultivation to enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda could there be a possibility of clearing it, right?


    Designing such a level that was impossible to clear, what on earth was the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner thinking?


    Although it was to test talent and strength, surpassing the limits of geniuses would have no meaning at all, right?


    Ye Yuan could not help being at a loss. He ran over all of his trump cards and discovered that he completely could not see the hope of passing through!


    "Just what does this black-clothed person want me to comprehend in seclusion here? Could it be . . ." Ye Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and seemed to have thought of something.


    The black-clothed person said that what the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm used was the strength of a true dragon. And the power of a true dragon''s strength was an existence on the same level as a supreme true intent!


    Supreme true intents required martial artists to go and comprehend, while true dragon''s strength only needed powerful bloodline power!


    Ye Yuan refined the blood of a true dragon that was already about to evolve to divine beast level. The bloodline power was already very strong.


    If he used the strength of a true dragon to deal with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm . . .


    The black-clothed person even said that when the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was trained to an extremely high level, it could practically shatter the firmament with force. The might of the power could be seen.


    If he successfully cultivated this martial technique . . .


    Ye Yuan was quite excited just thinking about it. What the black-clothed person want to let him comprehend was definitely the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Figuring out the links in between this, Ye Yuan calmed down instead.


    How could him wanting to comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm be something that easy?


    "Ten day''s time . . . This black-clothed person is also thinking too highly of me!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. The black-clothed person used it for a total of two times. Ye Yuan wanting to rely on his own impression to comprehend this martial technique, the degree of difficulty was too great.


    This was simply an impossible to complete mission!


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of giving up. He settled down to focus very quickly, carefully recollecting the black-clothed person''s every action.


    Ye Yuan started to imitate the black-clothed person''s actions and executed the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Rumble!


    A very feeble attack. Without the least bit of threat at all.


    Ye Yuan even suspected whether or not this palm of his earlier could kill a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist.


    Of course, this was only the beginning. This martial technique was so powerful. It was obviously not so easy to comprehend.


    One palm, two palms, three palms . . .


    In a flash, Ye Yuan unleashed ten palms. But there was no progress at all.


    He attempted to copy the black-clothed person''s movements, firing out the true dragon''s strength. But he discovered that wanting to accomplish this was too difficult.


    Even though Ye Yuan had the strength of a true dragon inside his body, it was very hard to utilize.


    Even with Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage, the true dragon''s strength he could mobilize was extremely, extremely little. The might of this move was primarily still depending on the Scorching True Intent. True dragon''s strength only had the function of adding flowers to embroidery.


    And it was very challenging for Ye Yuan to want to use the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to mobilize true dragon''s strength.


    Firstly, he did not get to the bottom of the true dragon''s strength''s application method. Secondly, he was accustomed to using essence energy. It was very hard to adjust his habit right away.


    "Odd. I still have no way of mobilizing the strength of a true dragon. Just how can it be done?"


    Ye Yuan stopped to think for a bit and unleashed a palm once more. But he still could not find the feeling.


    Ye Yuan application of true dragon''s strength was like a piece of blank paper, not even knowing the rudiments.


    The black-clothed person looked at the Ye Yuan in the middle of non-stop attempts and could not help heaving a sigh and saying, "You this fellow actually set up such a perverse round. How are people going to clear it? True dragon''s strength is an extremely powerful bloodline power. Even the dragon race themselves have to put in tremendous amounts of effort to want to truly grasp the application method of bloodline power. How can a youth who just refined the strength of a true dragon possibly comprehend it? I seriously can''t think of anyone else who can clear this perverse ninth level once Ye Yuan this punk fails."


    Turns out that this ninth level round was set up by the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner.


    Listening to the black-clothed person''s meaning, clearly, he himself did not understand this ninth level''s setting as well.


    Such a challenging round. Even martial artists any more talented could not possibly clear it either, right?


    To talk about comprehending supreme true intent, the skeletal age restriction determined that it was impossible for the concepts and cultivation of the martial artists who enter to be very high.


    For so many years, Ye Yuan''s concepts were one of the most freakish ones.


    But even with his current level, it was impossible to pass through the ninth level as well.


    To talk about comprehending the strength of a true dragon, how could a youth who had just refined dragon blood possibly comprehend successfully in such a short time?


    To clear the ninth level, one must contend against the powerful with power!


    After refining dragon blood, it was to counter a true dragon''s strength with another true dragon''s strength; otherwise, there were no chances of victory at all!


    Unless Ye Yuan could completely master a supreme true intent. Or else, he could only be a vanquished opponent of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    But to Ye Yuan, true dragon''s strength was entirely foreign. And grasping the strength of a true dragon was only the first step. He still had to be able to execute the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm before he had the qualifications to endure the final palm!


    Three days passed in a twinkle. Ye Yuan had long given up on directly comprehending out the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    He was thinking of ways to mobilize true dragon strength!


    And right now, the only way he could mobilize true dragon''s strength was to employ the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!


    These three days, he had been using the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage constantly, comprehending the application method of true dragon''s strength unceasingly.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan finally got a bit of the knack to it.


    When he executed the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage, it relied entirely on a kind of instinct to merge a trace of true dragon''s strength into the Flame Movement Carnage.


    However, he only just knew how, but not why.


    But now, he must find the reason why he could utilize the strength of a true dragon.


    These three days, he had been searching for this reason all along!


    Ye Yuan used the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage over and over again, and finally found a tiny bit of reason!


    He discovered that the reason why he could mobilize the strength of a true dragon was because when he used the Flame Movement Carnage, his body''s amplitude and the amplitude of the true dragon''s strength achieved synchronization. That was when he could sense a trace of true dragon strength entering inside his meridians and be released along with the martial technique.


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered a problem. That was that he still treated himself as a human all along. Hence, the true dragon strength within his body did not buy it at all!


    Which was also to say that to want to draw on the strength of a true dragon, one must first of all turn themselves into a dragon, and not a person!


    Using human martial artists methods to initiate a dragon race martial technique. This was naturally something nonsensical!


    Straightening out this point, everything was easy to handle.


    Ye Yuan sat down with his legs crossed and both eyes tightly shut. Inside his brain, he simulated the scene of when he executed the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage endlessly.


    Gradually, the muscles in Ye Yuan''s entire body started to convulse. This sort of convulsion became increasingly intense!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan snapped open both eyes and pushed a palm out with all his might. A faint dragon roar emitted from the center of his palm.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan revealed excitement on his face.

 584 Advancing a Step, Endless Blue Skies

    "Ninth level! Ye Yuan he entered the ninth level! He . . . He surpassed Li Fantian, becoming the number one person in these ten thousand years!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s name appear at the ninth level on the light screen, Guo Taoqun suddenly exclaimed.


    Ever since they knew that Ye Yuan entered the eighth level, these few people were no longer in the mood to be in closed-seclusion.


    Especially when Ye Yuan actually stayed for ten days at the eighth level. This whetted their appetites even more.


    Even Qi Hai raised his head to look at the light screen every now and then too, wanting to see if Ye Yuan entered the ninth level or not.


    But Ye Yuan seemed to stagnate at the eighth level and did not have any activities all along.


    Guo Taoqun they all simply talked it over; each one of them took turn to keep watch daily to see if Ye Yuan entered the ninth level or not.


    All the way until today, Guo Taoqun finally saw Ye Yuan''s name appear in the ninth level!


    With him crying out, everyone all stood up with a start.


    What the ninth level signified, these few people were all too clear!


    Not knowing when it started, Li Fantian''s name had always been crowned with the title of ''Number one talent in ten thousand years.''


    And now, this title was going to be crowned on Ye Yuan!


    Even though the Endless World was just a small world, how many geniuses would be born in ten thousand years?


    Among these geniuses, there was no lack of some astounding to the max characters, such as the Grand Yan True Lord, Lu Linfeng!


    But now, these so-called geniuses all had to bow their heads in submission at Ye Yuan''s feet!


    These few former strongest people among the junior generation, witnessing this historical moment, the agitation and admiration in their hearts were naturally hard to express with words.


    Ever since Ye Yuan made it into the eighth level, these four people including Liu Hong already let go of all of their pride.


    Even if they were any more rampant and any prouder, they examined their consciousness and knew that it was impossible for them to make it to the eighth level, this sort of level, as well.


    The fifth level and the eighth level. The gap in-between this could not be measured with distance.


    Now that Ye Yuan stepped into the final level, this already made them prostrate on all fours in admiration.


    Just as Qi Hai said back then, maybe someday, they would be proud because of following Ye Yuan!


    "Even though it''s just a legend, these last three levels'' difficulties are definitely what we can''t imagine. Ye Yuan he could actually clear two rounds consecutively under such a difficulty level. Truly astonishing!" Qin Yan said.


    "Back then, the Grand Yan True Lord, that astonishingly talented figure, only made it into the seventh level. Ye Yuan charged into the ninth level now. His accomplishments at the minimum also won''t be lower than his, right?" Guo Taoqun said.


    "That''s for certain! Since ancient times, there has never been anyone who made it into the ninth level. At least, Ye Yuan can''t possibly be worse than Grand Yan True Lord either!" Qin Yan said.


    "Heh, I wonder how many years Ye Yuan''s legend will circulate in our Endless World! I now feel that being his follower isn''t anything bad. Perhaps after he ascends to the Divine Realm, we can be fowls and dogs riding on his coattails too!" Guo Taoqun said.


    "Pooh! You''re the fowl and dog! But right now, I really feel that Ye Yuan is somebody with a great destiny. Following by his side, we might receive endless benefits!" Qin Yan said.


    By the side, Yin Yanhua nodded her head silently. Clearly, she very much approved of these words too.


    And even though Liu Hong did not speak, it could be seen from his expression as well that he already did not have any opinion about becoming Ye Yuan''s follower.


    Qi Hai did not speak all along, staring at the light screen blankly. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about . . .


    . . . . . .


    The ninth level''s space. The black-clothed person stared at Ye Yuan opposite and said with an emotional sigh, "You finally still came here. I thought that you''d choose to quit!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I don''t have the habit of giving up halfway."


    "Do you feel that you can make it through this ninth level with your current strength? With your wit, you should be able to guess how powerful this palm will be. With your present strength, it''s simply impossible to be able to pass it! And the outcome of failing to pass it . . . is death! You''re the most talented youth in these ten thousand years. Killing you personally, I can''t really bear to," said the black-clothed person.


    The black-clothed person witnessed Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying talent along the way. He was naturally unwilling to destroy such a genius in his heart.


    "Huhu, how will one know without trying? Senior, make your move!" Ye Yuan said indifferently without a care in this world.


    The black-clothed person kept quiet and did not speak. The reason why he judged that Ye Yuan could not clear the ninth level was actually that Ye Yuan did not do anything in the later five days. He meditated in seclusion at the eighth level for five days!


    Previously, Ye Yuan using three days to find the method to maneuver the strength of a true dragon, it truly astonished the black-clothed person for a bit.


    But what made him puzzled was that Ye Yuan actually meditated in seclusion the entire time in the later five days!


    Martial technique and comprehending concepts were different. The former needed one to constantly train.


    Especially the dragon race''s martial technique, it needed time to polish even more so.


    Ye Yuan did not think that he could clear the ninth level by being able to maneuver the strength of a true dragon, right?


    Maneuvering true dragon''s strength to unleash a palm and using the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to unleash a palm were two entirely different concepts!


    Or perhaps, Ye Yuan was comprehending the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm during these five days, but he had no gains?


    No matter which angle one looked at, Ye Yuan did not have hopes of making it through the ninth level.


    "I advise that you better give up! The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm ultimate palm, although I''m only using 20% strength, it''s also not what the current you can contend with. If you can comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, then there''s still hope. Although you can''t score a victory, you at least have the strength to protect yourself. But you only comprehended the method to maneuver the strength of a true dragon and have not learned the rudiments regarding the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. It''s simply impossible to survive!" musing briefly, the black-clothed person still exhorted him.


    It was not that the black-clothed person was pessimistic about Ye Yuan. On the contrary, he was too optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    But he was even clearer about the might of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    The might of this martial technique, Ye Yuan was simply unable to experience.


    The difficulty of this ninth level was too perverse!


    "You should withdraw out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda first. You''re still young. Come again to the Vast Heaven Pagoda after ten years, this ninth level wouldn''t be considered much to you either! At that time, you will be able to experience the feeling of an awe-inspiring view from a high place! Young man, sometimes, take a step back, and it''s endless blue skies!" urged the black-clothed person.


    Ye Yuan looked at the black-clothed person and suddenly grinned and said, "Many thanks for Senior''s concern. But this ninth level, I still want to challenge! In my world, behind are all sheer precipices and overhanging rocks. Only in front of me there are endless blue skies!"


    It was not some heroic words, but the powerful self-confidence Ye Yuan exuded moved the black-clothed person visibly.


    Yet, the way the black-clothed person saw it, he was still unable to understand Ye Yuan''s thinking.


    A step back, endless blue skies; this was the black-clothed person''s understanding of life.


    But advancing a step, endless blue skies, this was Ye Yuan''s understanding towards life!


    Regardless of whether it was the previous life or this life, there was no ''backing down,'' these two words in Ye Yuan''s dictionary!


    Furthermore, to Ye Yuan, he truly could not wait for the next ten years!


    Ten years were too long for Ye Yuan!


    "Heh, you this boy, are really quite different! However . . . this is you asking for it yourself. if you die in my hands, you mustn''t have any grievances!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No complaints nor regrets!"

 585 A Geniuss Unyielding Pride!

    "Fine. Since it''s like this, I''ll fulfill your wish!"


    The black-clothed person finished talking. The entire ninth level space became dim.


    Now, it was only to see he lifted his palm up. An exceedingly violent aura spread out in all directions.


    A colossal azure dragon gradually became distinct, coiling around behind the black-clothed person, with its face showing savageness as it looked at Ye Yuan.


    Although he knew that this was just a dharma idol, Ye Yuan still felt tremendous pressure.


    A fierce wind blew past, lifting the corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeves.


    The palm force had yet to be released. There was already an imposing momentum that blotted out the skies and covered the earth engulfing everything.


    "This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is hailed as able to shatter the firmament with force! Indeed, well-deserving of its reputation! He suppressed his cultivation to the Eighth Level Sea Transformation and only used 20% true dragon''s strength. This final palm actually has such power!"


    This palm of the black-clothed person''s was much more powerful than Ye Yuan imagined!


    The ninth level''s and eighth level''s difficulties were indeed not on the same level with this current level.


    No wonder the black-clothed person kept on urging him to withdraw out of the ninth level. This level of difficulty was really not an ordinary kind of freakish!


    He really did not know if this Vast Heaven Pagoda owner was a psychopath or not, to actually set up such a level of difficulty as a hurdle? How could this possibly be cleared?


    Furthermore, without any doubt, this black-clothed person''s true dragon strength was clearly already cultivated to an extremely high level. Just 20% true dragon''s strength could actually generate such a horrifying move.


    Ye Yuan stared at the black-clothed person without moving his gaze, mapping each one of his movements into his brain.


    Suddenly, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, "So that''s how it is!"


    He slowly closed his eyes. The muscles on his body started to shake with a kind of strange tempo.


    Ye Yuan learned from the black-clothed person''s manner, lifting his palm and maneuvering the true dragon strength in his entire body!


    A faint phantom appeared behind Ye Yuan. It was actually a dharma idol azure dragon too!


    When the black-clothed person saw this scene, his pupils constricted and his gaze revealed unbelievable shock.


    "This boy . . . Just how did he accomplish it? This is my first time casting the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s ultimate palm. He . . . He actually learned it? How is this possible?


    At this moment, the astonishment in the black-clothed person''s heart simply could not be described using words.


    He was really incapable of imagining how monstrous a talent could comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm in such a short time!


    There was actually such a heaven-defyingly talented youth in this world?


    The black-clothed already arrived at the critical juncture of casting his skills at this time. He forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and continued casting the skill.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm: Shattering Stars!"


    The black-clothed person gave a sharp cry. The dharma idol true dragon was released with a roar.


    That momentum was truly startling heaven and earth and making gods and ghosts weep!


    A dharma idol true dragon flew towards Ye Yuan with baring its fangs and brandishing its claws!


    To be able to condense a dharma idol, it indicated that the bloodline power was very strong.


    And a true dragon dharma idol was all the more an extremely difficult dharma idol to condense. Even in the true dragon race, very few people could condense it as well.


    Hence, this azure dragon before his eyes was on an entirely different level from the previous two levels.


    At this time, Ye Yuan snapped opened both eyes, seemingly exerting all the strength in his body, pushing out the dharma idol behind him.


    Compared to the black-clothed person''s dharma idol azure dragon, Ye Yuan''s dharma idol azure dragon was much more illusory and a size smaller too. Clearly, it was way lousier.


    But this was not the key. The critical thing was that a little rookie like Ye Yuan could actually condense a dharma idol azure dragon!


    Rumble!


    Two dharma idol azure dragon collided together fiercely. The shock wave produced practically affected the entire ninth level!


    The black-clothed person did not budge an inch in this tempest. Such an intense collision actually did not have any effect on him.


    But Ye Yuan could not. He directly vomited a large mouthful of blood, receiving a tremendous impact.


    If not that his current body went through the dragon blood''s remolding and was already no longer what it was, this blow could claim his life!


    However, it was not over yet!


    The black-clothed person''s dharma idol azure dragon directly smashed Ye Yuan''s dharma idol and continued charging towards Ye Yuan!


    But the dharma idol azure dragon at this time was only left with a faint image. Clearly, a large portion of the true dragon strength was expended.


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation. He forcefully suppressed the injuries on his body and maneuvered all the essence energy in his body, executing the Myriad Rain Sword Blades without holding anything back!


    Rumble!


    Another violent collision!


    But the commotion this time was far from as intense as before.


    Ye Yuan vomited a large mouthful of blood again, collapsing weakly onto the ground.


    Although the dharma idol azure dragon only had a faint phantom left, the power was still extremely strong.


    Ye Yuan forcefully deployed essence energy under the circumstances where he was injured. It originally already caused his injuries to pile on. Suffering an intense impact once more, he was already very weak at this time.


    However, the black-clothed person''s dharma idol azure dragon was completely exhausted by Ye Yuan in the end.


    The black-clothed person looked at this scene and was speechless for a long time. He finally still heaved a sigh and said, "I really have no way of imagining just how did you comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm! Such a pity . . . According to that fellow''s requirements, you must stand up in the end! But you''re heavily injured right now and your essence energy depleted. Forget about standing up, even moving a bit is probably impossible!"


    The black-clothed person was indeed shocked. But he was incapable of going against the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner''s requirements.


    If Ye Yuan could not stand up, he would still fail in the end!


    "But you don''t need to feel sorry either. You''ve already done very well! Vast Heaven Pagoda doesn''t forbid martial artists from entering a second time. With your talent, the ninth level would simply be unworthy of mentioning in front of you ten years later!" The black-clothed person consoled.


    Ye Yuan lying on the ground seemed to be stimulated and started to struggle to his feet.


    "Not . . . It''s not over yet!"


    Ye Yuan''s fists clenched tightly as he used all the strength in the body, wanting to get up!


    The black-clothed person''s expression changed. His judgment regarding Ye Yuan''s injuries should not be wrong.


    Logically speaking, it was simply impossible for Ye Yuan to stand up. But . . .


    This boy . . .


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan struggled a bit but still fell to the ground again.


    "Don''t struggle anymore. You''ll die if this continues! Admit defeat. The Vast Heaven Pagoda can treat your wounds!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan being so stubborn, the black-clothed person could not help being quite worried as well.


    This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s final palm was nothing to be trifled with. Ye Yuan had injuries piling on top of injuries right now. Even if his body had undergone the dragon blood''s remolding, it already reached the limit too.


    Ye Yuan messing around like this would really be putting his life at risk!


    "No! I . . . I can . . . stand up!" Ye Yuan said obstinately.


    He panted very heavily like puffing bellows. Clearly, his body already reached the limit.


    Yet, he still stubbornly propped his body up and slowly got up!


    The black-clothed person was visibly moved looking at this scene too. He wished that he could go forward and give Ye Yuan a hand.


    But the black-clothed person knew that if he really did that, not only would Ye Yuan not thank him, he would hate him instead.


    Because that way would not only make Ye Yuan''s challenge fail, it even trampled on Ye Yuan''s dignity!


    This was a peerless genius''s pride. Ye Yuan could die, but he absolutely did not need other people''s charity!


    "I finally understand why you want to set up such a stage! He and you . . . are really alike!" the black-clothed person murmured to himself. He seemed to have understood something. They were too similar.

 586 Dragon Wave

    Bang!


    Ye Yuan fell to the ground once more. This was already the fourth time he failed.


    During these attempts, his wounds were affected and became worse each time. He had vomited quite a few mouthfuls of blood. His complexion became increasingly paler, and his breathing progressively weaker. But he still stubbornly attempted to stand up once again.


    "Argh!"


    Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body to howl.


    This time, he finally stood up!


    But his two legs already did not have the slightest bit of strength. He stood up and his legs went weak, and he almost fell down again.


    Only after staggering quite a few steps did Ye Yuan barely stabilize his figure.


    "Huff . . . Huff . . ."


    Ye Yuan was panting non-stop. He was already weary to the limit. His body kept on swaying but did not fall down from start to finish.


    Seeing this scene, the black-clothed person''s countenance finally changed.


    If it was said that he purely had the appreciation of a genius towards Ye Yuan previously, at this moment, he was filled with admiration towards Ye Yuan.


    He had long seen through that Ye Yuan had already reached his limits. To be able to stand up, Ye Yuan relied entirely on one breath to forcefully hang in there.


    Without immense willpower, it simply could not be done!


    The black-clothed person came before Ye Yuan and said, "Boy, you''re bound to be a world-shaking figure in the future. To be able to wait for you, my 50 thousand years of bitter guarding this place were not in vain either!"


    Ye Yuan paid no attention to him. He still swayed constantly there with his head lowered.


    "En?"


    The black-clothed person suddenly discovered something amiss. Looking close, Ye Yuan actually had both eyes tightly shut. He had already fainted dead away.


    Seeing the situation, the black-clothed person gave a long sigh and beckoned with one hand. A beam of light shone down from the air, enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    The aura on Ye Yuan''s body was already very weak. If it were still not treated, he would really die!


    But the black-clothed person was really unable to imagine just what kind of willpower Ye Yuan relied on to stand up.


    The black-clothed person looked at the Ye Yuan in the middle of the light halo; his expression and emotion were complicated.


    How many years had it been since his emotions were so worked up?


    He waited for 50 thousand years in his Vast Heaven Pagoda. Yet, there was not a single one who could truly enter his sights.


    Several thousand years ago, when that youth called Li Fantian appeared before him, it finally made his eyes lit up.


    However, Li Fantian ultimately still could not make it through the eighth level. This even made him feel regret for a very long time back then.


    All the way until Ye Yuan''s appearance, finally this youth gave him a real shock.


    In truth, back at the first three levels, the black-clothed person did not feel that Ye Yuan was much stronger than Li Fantian yet. But when Ye Yuan had the second Perfect Completion, the black-clothed person finally realized Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness.


    Especially Ye Yuan had refined the dragon blood. This gave him a tremendous impact.


    And now, the black-clothed person was filled with admiration towards this youth.


    This youth dad talent, had willpower, and had lucky chances. Ye Yuan possessed virtually all the qualities to become a powerhouse.


    More importantly, he saw that person''s shadow on Ye Yuan.


    Stubbornness! An unyielding spirit!


    All the way until this moment did the black-clothed person finally understand the purpose of the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner setting up this ninth level hurdle!


    What this ninth level tested was not just comprehension abilities, it tested a person''s character even more.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and discovered that he was at an unknown space.


    "You''re awake? Here is the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s central space. You''ve already successfully cleared the ninth level," an aged voice said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes gradually focused. In his sight was a thin and emaciated old man.


    "You''re . . . the black-clothed person?" Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked.


    This old man''s appearance was very scary. The wrinkles on his face were practically bunching together already, looking very hideous.


    "This old man is Long Teng."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he asked, "Could Senior be a member of the dragon race?"


    Long Teng''s face revealed surprise, and he came to a realization right after, "You, this boy, are indeed astute. However . . . this old man has never taken himself to be a member of the dragon race."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Senior''s dragon race martial techniques are at the acme of perfection and also crowned with the surname of Long (dragon). If I can''t even guess this, then I''d also be too stupid!"


    There were many people with the surname of Long. But to be able to cultivate the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, such a heaven-defying martial technique, to such a level, he was absolutely not an ordinary person.


    The Divine Realm''s dragon race was a very powerful race. Ye Yuan naturally linked this old man in front of him to this race.


    It was just that from Long Teng''s words, one could also guess that his direct relationship with the dragon race was probably not that simple.


    Even though Ye Yuan was very curious, he did not plan on rashly posing questions either. This violated taboos greatly.


    "Fine lad, I''m very curious just how did you comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm?"


    This period of time where Ye Yuan was unconscious, what Long Teng could not figure out after racking his brains was this problem.


    One had to know that he spent far more than several thousand years of effort on this martial technique.


    But Ye Yuan only used a few short days and comprehended it.


    Furthermore, he knew that Ye Yuan did not rehearse the palm art at all. He meditated in the eighth level the entire time.


    This was too strange!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The last three levels were all guarded with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. Moreover, when Senior Long was using the move, you were very deliberate, as if intentionally letting me have a clear view. Then, the turning point to clearing the ninth level could naturally only be on this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm."


    With this Long Teng''s strength, that level of Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm at the seventh level and eighth level could only be to demonstrate the rudiments of the skill.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Long Teng nodded his head slightly and said, "You punk, such a keen mind. But these few days, I saw that you have been meditating all along and did not rehearse at all."


    Ye Yuan smiled and pointed at his head and said, "All of the rehearsing was all in here!"


    Seeing Long Teng''s puzzled look, Ye Yuan continued, "Actually, after I found the method to maneuver true dragon''s strength, I''ve been pondering on how to grasp the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm the entire time. Later on, I discovered that when Senior execute your moves, you will release a kind of special undulation at specific times. So I guessed that the key to this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was here. And my seclusion these few days was constantly seeking this sort of undulation."


    Long Teng''s gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, "You . . . You can actually perceive dragon wave?"


    "Turns out that is called dragon wave? It''s very appropriate!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Long Teng sucked in a deep breath and said, "All of the dragon race''s martial techniques are all released with dragon wave. It''s just according to the differences in strength and weakness of the martial technique, the dragon wave''s vibration frequency would be different, that''s all. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is an extremely powerful martial technique in the dragon race too. The magnitude of the dragon wave even reaches Heaven Rank. The first time you used dragon wave, you''re actually able to infinitely approach Heaven Rank magnitude!"


    But these words made Ye Yuan stunned, "Uh . . . Is it very difficult?"


    Hearing these words, Long Teng choked up, and the words at the back were forcefully swallowed back down.


    Seeing that conflicted face of Long Teng''s becoming even more troubled, Ye Yuan also realized that this seemed to be pretty hard.


    "Do you know how many years I used to cultivate dragon wave to Heaven Rank?" Long Teng said with a black face.


    Ye Yuan replied weakly, "Five years?"


    Long Teng choked up again and almost could not breathe.


    He only recovered to his senses after some time and said to Ye Yuan with a glare, "One hundred years!"

 587 Final Inheritance!

    Ye Yuan himself was very muddled as well.


    He only sought out the method to execute the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm according to Long Teng''s demonstration. He completely did not know what was called dragon wave and also did not know how hard dragon wave was to practice.


    It was only after hearing Long Teng said so did Ye Yuan finally know why the other party had this sort of want to strangle him to death expression.


    This was the first time he used dragon wave, and it actually reached a standard of infinitely approaching Heaven Rank, while a pinnacle expert like Long Teng actually used a hundred years!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was slightly awkward as he said, "H-Haha, Senior Long, I''m a blind cat bumping into a dead rat. To really let me train, I''d probably need to train for a hundred years too."


    Who knew that Long Teng''s face became black again. He billowed his beard and glared as he said huffily, "Don''t give this old man that crap! Do you think that attaining Heaven Rank dragon wave in one hundred years is already very noob?"


    Ye Yuan gave an awkward smile. But Long Teng could tell what he thought from his expression too.


    "When this old man was younger, I was known as the dragon race''s number one genius! For ordinary people to want to cultivate dragon wave to Heaven Rank, they need at least 300 years! If not for . . . forget it, not talking about those stale topics of conversation," Long Teng said and waved his hand.


    "Cough cough, Senior Long, I didn''t mean that," Ye Yuan said embarrassedly.


    "Forget it, forget it. What you mean, do I still not know? You''re a freak! But it doesn''t mean that everyone is a freak! Let me tell you; this dragon wave is divided into six boundaries. Yellow Rank, Mystic Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Spirit Rank, and Divine Rank. Although your Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is nondescript, the dragon wave had indeed reached the boundary of Peak Earth Rank. With this level, you cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm will yield twice the results with half the effort," Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan was completely ignorant about the dragon race''s cultivation methods. Hearing Long Teng''s words at this time, he became interested.


    That nondescript Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm that he executed previously already reached that kind of power. Then how powerful did the true Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm have to be?


    This point, one could tell by looking at the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm Long Teng unleashed.


    Although Ye Yuan could not reach that level within a short time, if he learned it, then that would absolutely be one of his greatest trumps now. It would even surpass the Myriad Rain Sword Blades!


    Furthermore . . . Hearing Long Teng''s meaning, he had decent talent in cultivating the dragon race''s martial techniques.


    This moved Ye Yuan even more.


    One had to know that this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm cultivated to the highest level was absolutely not worse than supreme true intents.


    "Senior Long, this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm . . ." Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Long Teng gave an ugly smile and said, "Relax, this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level! If it''s not taught to you, then what would I expend so much effort for?"


    "One of . . . the rewards?" Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was already a very formidable martial technique. At least with Ye Yuan''s understanding, training this move to the pinnacle level was absolutely not worse compared to the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s Nine Suns Burning Heaven.


    If this was just one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level, then what was the final reward?


    Long Teng clearly guessed Ye Yuan''s thoughts and said with a nod, "That''s right, this is just one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level! As for this final reward . . . aren''t you very bright? You can make a guess."


    No idea where this old man''s mood to play came from, to actually play a guessing game with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was thrown into a daze by this old man too and started ruminating.


    After a dozen over breaths, Ye Yuan lifted his head abruptly and looked at Long Teng with exceedingly doubtful eyes.


    "Senior Long, it can''t be . . ." Ye Yuan did not quite dare to trust his own judgment himself.


    He had kept on thinking of how to clear these final three levels all along, so he simply did not think in this direction.


    But now, Long Teng was being vague. Under Ye Yuan''s contemplating, he thought of a certain possibility.


    Except, this kind of possibility, even he himself did not quite dare believe it.


    But thinking it over and over again, only this possibility was the most likely too!


    Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "It can''t be what? Say it out for me to hear."


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and asked probingly, "V-Vast Heaven Pagoda?"


    Long Teng shot Ye Yuan an approving look and said smilingly, "You only guessed half of it correctly! This ninth level''s true reward is the Vast Heaven Stele!"


    "Vast Heaven Stele?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, the Vast Heaven Stele was just a part of the Vast Heaven Pagoda. At the very most, it was just a very critical component.


    The reason why the Vast Heaven Stele had the effect of aiding martial artists in enhancing their concepts was only that the Vast Heaven Pagoda endowed it this ability.


    "That''s right! People all think that the Vast Heaven Pagoda is a profound and mystical object, but don''t know that this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s true core is the Vast Heaven Stele and not this pagoda. This Vast Heaven Pagoda was actually only forged in order to conceal the Vast Heaven Stele!" Long Teng said words which surprised Ye Yuan greatly.


    In Ye Yuan''s understanding, the Vast Heaven Stele was just a part of the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The effects of the Vast Heaven Stele were all granted by the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    But hearing Long Teng''s meaning, could it be that it was not like this?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s doubtful eyes, Long Teng said coolly, "Let me tell you a story then."


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Pray tell!"


    One could also know without the need to guess that this story was related to the Vast Heaven Pagoda and Vast Heaven Stele''s origins.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s knowledge seeking appearance, Long Teng nodded his head contently and started to talk tirelessly.


    The story happened over 50 thousand years ago. And the main character of that story likewise appeared in the Endless World.


    That youth was called Fang Tian. In an accident, he obtained a piece of rock.


    Ever since then, he started to soar up into the sky with a start, becoming this small world''s king very quickly.


    After ascending to the Divine Realm, Fang Tian still advanced with rapid strides and songs on his lips, becoming a peak powerhouse in the Divine Realm very quickly.


    At that time, a heaven-defying treasure appeared in the Divine Realm. Its name was Vast Heaven Pagoda!


    Fang Tian relied on this treasure to roam the Divine Realm unhindered; undefeatable by anyone!


    Yet, the rise of a powerhouse was bound to be accompanied by blood and slaughter.


    During this process, Fang Tian rescued a severely wounded azure dragon on the verge of death in an accident arising from many causes.


    Ever since then, the one dragon and one human threw the entire Divine Realm into an upheaval.


    Finally, Fang Tian provoked an extremely powerful fiend path faction at that time. And this faction''s strongest person was known as the Heavenly Fiendgod.


    50 thousand years ago, a great paramount battle unfolded between Fang Tian and the Heavenly Fiendgod.


    That battle could be said to astound heaven and earth and make gods and ghosts weep, throwing the entire Divine Realm into pandemonium.


    Except that both sides'' battle concluded with both parties suffering great losses. The Heavenly Fiendgod fled with heavy injuries, his whereabouts unknown.


    While Fang Tian with severe injuries vanished from the Divine Realm ever since.


    Then 40 thousand years later, a heaven-defying inheritance space appeared in the Endless World. That was the Vast Heaven Inheritance!


    Ever since, countless geniuses fell over each other to enter the Vast Heaven Inheritance, in hopes of obtaining the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s ultimate inheritance.


    It was just that the so-called geniuses in this small world were simply unable to complete the nine-level hurdles which the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner set.


    All the way until today, Ye Yuan''s appearance finally completed this task which nobody had ever accomplished before, obtaining the final inheritance!

 588 Vast Heaven Pagodas New Owner

    This story lasted for 50 thousand years, all the way till today.


    Long Teng said it very briefly, but Ye Yuan did not find it brief at all when he listened.


    Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience were far from this. So he could totally discern just how soul-stirring Long Teng''s sketched over contents were.


    "Then Senior Fang Tian he . . ." Ye Yuan inquired.


    Long Teng shook his head and said, "That fellow threw the Vast Heaven Stele here, and his whereabouts became unknown. And I was afflicted with a deadly poison during that battle as well, that''s why I turned into this manner. If not for hiding inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda, I''d have already become a withered skeleton long ago."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Looks like that great battle 50 thousand years ago was really abnormally cruel. Even Long Teng, this level of expert, ended up in this miserable state.


    "Then Senior Fang Tian . . . was he a Deity Realm powerhouse?" Ye Yuan carried some agitation as he asked.


    "Huhu, how can Deity Realm be so easy to reach? Under this stretch of heaven, it is already incapable of giving birth to Deity Realm powerhouses again!" Long Teng said with a sigh/


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he inquired, "May I ask Senior why is this so?"


    Long Teng shook his head and said, "Divine Realm powerhouses disappeared from the Divine Realm overnight. Since then, only legends of the Divine Realm was left behind. To talk about the reason, probably only they know it, right?"


    Hearing this answer, Ye Yuan was quite disappointed too.


    Deity Realm was his life''s aspiration. Barely managed to see a trace of hope, and it was shattered again.


    But he was still unresigned as he said, "This Vast Heaven Stele should exceed Divine King standards, right? Furthermore, that Vast Heaven Stele has an extraordinary background. Could it be that such an existence still couldn''t reach the level of Deity Realm?"


    Long Teng shook his head and said, "Can''t reach! Deity Realm is far more powerful than you imagine. Fang Tian thought that he already reached Deity Realm back then too. But later on, he discovered that that was simply not the case."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and suddenly recalled the words that father, Ji Zhengyang, said to him on his deathbed.


    Because he obtained the Medicine God''s Soul Canon when he was still living, his divine soul reached a very abstruse boundary.


    Could it be that for martial artists'' cultivation, there were still even stronger realms above Divine King?


    The more Ye Yuan thought, the more baffled he became and felt that he was less and less able to see through this world.


    Long Teng saw Ye Yuan''s look of dilemma and said smilingly, "No need to be bewildered on this sort of thing. You only have Sea Transformation Realm strength right now. Thinking about this is a bit too distant. Being down-to-earth is still better."


    Ye Yuan was stunned and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "What senior said is right. Ye Yuan was impetuous. Senior Long, could your meaning previously be that this Vast Heaven Stele will belong to me from now on?"


    "That''s right!"


    Long Teng reached his hand out and beckoned. The Vast Heaven Stele appeared before Ye Yuan.


    "Before that fellow left, he already removed his own brand. You only have to drip your own blood essence on it, and you can refine it to acknowledge an owner." Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan was stupefied as he said, "So simple?"


    "En, it''s that simple. Logically speaking, such a heaven-defying treasure should be very hard to refine. But it''s just this simple! When you grasp the Vast Heaven Stele, you can control the Vast Heaven Pagoda. But with your current realm, you can''t unleash its power at all." Long Teng said.


    "Heh, no matter what, collect first before talking!"


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either. He dripped a drop of blood essence on the Vast Heaven Stele. The Vast Heaven Stele immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan felt that he had established a kind of inexplicable connection with the Vast Heaven Stele.


    Evidently, he had already become this Vast Heaven Stele''s owner.


    Except that Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that even though he became the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner, he was still utterly clueless about it.


    "Even though you''ve dripped your blood and got it to acknowledge an owner now, with your current realm, you''re simply unable to deploy the Vast Heaven Stele and Vast Heaven Pagoda. If you forcefully deploy them, you''ll only be drained dry," Long Teng warned him.


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless when he heard that. He said helplessly, "Then isn''t it the same effect as not getting it?"


    Long Teng said with a laugh, "Of course it''s different! With the Vast Heaven Stele, you can enter inside the stele''s space to comprehend concepts at any time. This is a treatment that nobody is able to enjoy!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. This Vast Heaven Stele was absolutely a heaven-defying treasure, to be able to aid martial artists in comprehending concepts.


    If he could meditate on the Vast Heaven Stele as he wished, then Ye Yuan would really be taking the expressway.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked again, "Oh, right, can this Vast Heaven Pagoda change the flow of time?"


    "You don''t need to think about this! In order to slow down my aging, Fang Tian changed the flow of time around my physical body. The instant that you cleared the ninth level, the inheritance space was also utterly destroyed already. Now, this Vast Heaven Inheritance is no longer an inheritance item. It belongs to you! Alright, I know that you still have many queries, but I''m unable to answer you one by one either. My exhaustion the round clearing this time is too great. I''m about to fall in a deep sleep right away."


    As he said, Long Teng fired out a seal, imprinting directly between Ye Yuan''s eyebrows and vanished.


    "This is the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and dragon wave''s cultivation methods. Train well. If you can enter the dragon race in the future, help me teach them a good lesson!"


    Finished talking, Long Teng directly disappeared right before Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not very surprised. He had long seen through that this Long Teng was just an incarnation. His true physical body was still inside some space within this Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    This Long Teng being able to live up to 50 thousand years, he was probably asleep the vast majority of the time. Of course, it definitely had a lot to do with Fang Tian changing the flow of time around him.


    Speaking of this Fang Tian, he was truly a world-shaking figure. His means were most likely transcendent.


    Except that, sadly, it was unknown where he was at now. He might had even perished, and his Dao dissipated already. One had to admit that it was something which made people lament.


    He left both the Vast Heaven Pagoda and Vast Heaven Stele here, all for the sake of seeking a successor.


    Looking from this, the possibility of him alive right now was probably very tiny already.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he came to a grassland.


    This place seemed to be another world; it was not very different from the outside world.


    Both hands lightly forming a seal, a large group of people appeared before him.


    "Young Master Ye!"


    "Young Master!"


    Yuan Fei and Lu-er were both excited to see Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan rubbed Lu-er''s head guiltily and said, "Lu-er, give young master a bit more time. Young master will be able to let you become like a normal person very soon."


    But Lu-er said without a care, "As long as Lu-er can follow by Young Master''s side, Lu-er doesn''t mind. Eh? Where is this place? So beautiful! Much better than inside that spatial spirit artifact!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Do you like it?"


    Lu-er nodded her head obediently and excitedly, "Yes!"


    "Huhu, then you and Yuan Fei they all will all stay here from now on! This is a treasure that young master newly acquired. This place, apart from having no people, it''s already no different from the outside world," Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    "Ah? Really? Then that''s really great!" Lu-er said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled. His gaze suddenly fixed onto White Light and he could not help being surprised.

 589 Four Mighty Followers

    This little fellow fell asleep again since who knew when, unshakable by any circumstances.


    But Ye Yuan discovered to his surprise that White Light actually already broke through to Tier 4 since goodness knows when!


    "Young Master Ye, ever since White Light refined that tiger bone, he has been in a deep sleep the entire time. He already broke through to Tier 4 the other day and seems to be going to break through to middle-stage Tier 4 soon."


    Middle-stage Tier 4 was basically equivalent to late-stage Sea Transformation already.


    Ye Yuan only broke through to late-stage Sea Transformation when he obtained the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s inheritance. To think that this little fellow used such a method to break through again. Truly making others envied this little fellow to death.


    "Looks like that tiger bone was very beneficial to White Light. No wonder he was so agitated back then. Just let him break through here then. I have to stay here to enter a retreat for several days as well. If you guys have any matter, just face the void and call for me will do," Ye Yuan said.


    . . . . . .


    "Ye Yuan has already entered the ninth level for quite a few days. Why isn''t there any activities until now? Something wouldn''t have happened, right?'' Guo Taoqun said.


    "You jinx! Ye Yuan is somebody with a great destiny. Since he already made it to the ninth level, how can a problem possibly occur?" Qin Yan spat.


    "Haha, that''s true. Aren''t I being worried here? Ah, it''s Ye Yuan! He''s out!" Guo Taoqun suddenly said agitatedly.


    Everyone was shocked and hurriedly turned out to look. Indeed, they saw Ye Yuan coming out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Right at this time, the five people saw a scene that they found unforgettable in this lifetime.


    The originally towering into the clouds Vast Heaven Pagoda was actually rapidly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Very soon, a massive pagoda became like a small and exquisite pagoda, lying in Ye Yuan''s palm.


    "This . . . This . . . What happened here? W-Why did the Vast Heaven Pagoda become like this?" Guo Taoqun watched this scene and was shocked until his jaw nearly fell off.


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan arrived before the few of them.


    Qi Hai was the first to recover to his senses from the shock and looked at Ye Yuan with a face full of disbelief as he said, "Y-Ye Yuan, you . . ."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Old Hai, from today onwards, this Endless World will no longer have the Vast Heaven Pagoda Inheritance. This matter is of utmost importance. The few of you, please help to keep this secret for me."


    Although Ye Yuan said it with a consulting tone, the powerful aura emitting off his body made the other four people''s expressions tighten.


    Just the aura Ye Yuan was emitting made them unable to give rise to feelings of resistance.


    These few people were all proud children of heaven. Among those in the same generation, how could there possibly be people who could make them produce this sort of emotion?


    Looking at him again, Ye Yuan was actually already at the Eighth Level Sea Transformation Realm.


    This shock was by no mean insignificant!


    If it were an ordinary Eighth Level Sea Transformation, it would not enter their sights at all. But these few people were deeply aware of what Ye Yuan breaking through to the Eighth Level Sea Transformation signified!


    "Rest assured. We won''t say it out!" the four people said in unison.


    Qi Hai voiced out and said, "Relax. The four of them won''t say it out."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If this matter leaks out, I''ll find you guys to settle scores! Also, Vast Heaven Pagoda detached from the ground and flew off on its own. Got it?"


    The four people nodded and said, "Understood!"


    Following Ye Yuan''s power increasing with each day, his imposing momentum of a past sovereign gradually projected out too, making people submit.


    Actually, regarding these few people''s instructions, he was just making provisions for contingencies, afraid that their tongues would wag.


    Ten years later when the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm really opened up once more, Ye Yuan would probably long already not be in the Endless World. Who cares about the surging flood by then?


    Ye Yuan nodded and no longer bothered with those four. Looking around, he asked Qi Hai, "Old Hai, what''s with this?"


    Qi Hai briefly recounted the situation, making Ye Yuan''s eyebrows furrow slightly when he heard.


    "I previously already suspected that Zhao Tianyin has impure motives. Looking at it now, whatever for the sake of the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' welfare, it''s simply rubbish!"


    Ye Yuan smelled the thick scent of a conspiracy from the massacring of cities this incident.


    "En, I think so too. It''s just, we have no idea what the Fierce Gale World is doing this for," Qi Hai said.


    "Forget about him. A fox''s tail will be revealed one day!'' Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    Qi Hai nodded and said, "Now, we can only wait and see. Ye Yuan, what''s with this Vast Heaven Pagoda?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I cleared the ninth level, and this Vast Heaven Pagoda''s final reward is the Vast Heaven Pagoda itself!"


    Ye Yuan briefly recounted the process of clearing the rounds but left out some crucial information in-between.


    But, even so, the five people including Qi Hai felt their hearts quiver from excitement when they heard too.


    Especially those four youngsters. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan currently were filled with admiration.


    Ye Yuan''s age was much younger than theirs. But the achievements he clinched made them look up to him.


    "The Vast Heaven Pagoda has stood for tens of thousands of years. To think that it was actually for the sake of selecting a new master! It''s just that even if one knew, probably nobody can accomplish it either. Ye Yuan, as the saying goes: the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Our Endless World''s hope is all on you," Qi Hai said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Old Hai rest assured. Zhao Tianyin and I will ultimately have a battle one day. Furthermore, my family and friends are all in the Endless World. It''s naturally impossible to watch them seek their doom passively."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Qi Hai was secretly fearful inside.


    What on earth did Ye Yuan experience during the Fierce Gale World trip, to actually give rise to such a huge grudge with that Boundless Realm powerhouse?


    But if Ye Yuan had a conflict with the Fierce Gale World''s Realmlord before, how did he escape?


    This Ye Yuan was indeed full of riddles all over!


    But to Qi Hai, this was enough.


    "Ye Yuan. I took the liberty to make the decision to keep the four of them behind. If you like them, then let them stay to be your followers. If you don''t take fancy on them, I''ll send them away right now," Qi Hai said.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "The few of them to be my followers? This isn''t appropriate, right?"


    These few people were all extremely haughty characters. Putting them by his side to be followers, he did not have the luck to enjoy it.


    "Nothing inappropriate about it. Seeing your performance in the Vast Heaven Pagoda, they had long already straightened out their own positions. If they have any disrespect to you in the future, you can make them get lost at any time!" Qi Hai said it very sternly, but his gaze looked towards the four people.


    The four people understood the meaning and hurriedly said, "Us four are willing to follow by Lord Ye Yuan''s side, following on the heels of Your Excellency!"


    Ye Yuan briefly swept a glance over the four but did not agree right away.


    When Qi Hai saw the situation, he quickly said, "Ye Yuan, my intentions, I believe that you''re very clear as well. The realm passageway is about to be completely linked up soon. The war between the two worlds might last for a very long time. The four of them are all the Endless World''s future pillars of society. I want to place them by your side to experience and toughen up."


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a nod, "Alright then. Since Old Hai said it to such an extent, I''d be too unreasonable if I disagree as well. But I''ll say the nasty stuff first, following by my side, everything you have to listen to me. If anybody wants to throw a young master''s tantrum, I won''t be courteous!"


    The four people were overjoyed when they heard and said, "Yes, Lord Ye Yuan!"

 590 Utterly Routed

    Wu Fang City was the Endless Alliance''s headquarters right now. After returning from the Vast Heaven Pagoda, the various sect''s leaders all gathered here, organizing the entire Endless Alliance martial artists.


    And right now, inside City Lord Manor was a complete mess.


    "Are your Blackflame Sect members all a bunch of pigs? The Fierce Gale World''s numbers were half of yours, and you guys actually didn''t even persist for three days!"


    "Stop making cynical remarks here! Talked as if your Heavenly Eagle Sect is so impressive; didn''t you guys just persist for one day more than us?"


    "Persevering a day more is also persevering! Do you know how many of our Heavenly Eagle Sect''s people died for the sake of this one day? Unlike your Blackflame Sect sect, immediately withdrawing once you saw that the situation was bad!"


    "Pooh! Who withdrew immediately? The great battle this time, many of our elders died and our losses grievous! If you say any more rubbish, this old man won''t be finished with you!"


    Another sect''s heavyweight was just about to speak when Qin Hongtao who had long been exasperated already roared furiously, "All shut your mouths for this old man! The Fierce Gale World''s five-way great army is already gradually closing in on Crimsonlight City. Once Crimsonlight City is captured, it will be a flat stretch of land at the back. It will be immensely detrimental to our Endless Alliance! You guys are actually still in the mood to bicker here!"


    With him roaring, everyone all kept quiet.


    Right now, the Fierce Gale World was akin to autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping across the entire Endless World''s southeastern side.


    Right now, once the Endless World''s martial artists heard the Fierce Gale World''s name, it could be said to be trembling with fear upon hearing.


    The Fierce Gale World did not seem to be anxious in expanding outwards. But every area they have been to, the butcher''s knife would surely be raised up, killing off all of the martial artists.


    Hence, places where the Fierce Gale World''s great army passed through, the Endless World martial artists were all utterly routed.


    Now, large numbers of the southeastern area martial artists all escaped to Crimsonlight City.


    And this Crimsonlight City was an extremely crucial strategic pass. Once it was occupied by the Fierce Gale World, the Endless World would become very passive.


    Alliance Chief Ning Yixian sat at the helm, his brows knitted tightly as if he did not hear those few people''s arguing. It was also unknown what he was thinking about.


    At this time, seeing the group of people quieten down, Ning Yixian finally said slowly, "I won''t talk more about Crimsonlight City''s importance. Crimsonlight City''s City Lord, Su Hu, has already sent an emergency request for assistance to the alliance to request for the alliance to send people forward to reinforce. I wonder if there''s anybody that all of you can recommend?"


    The group of old ancestors exchanged glances, their faces all showing hesitation. But nobody was willing to make a sound.


    Right now, mutual hostilities had already gradually developed in full swing. But both parties still maintained that final trace of restraint; both parties'' Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses had not joined the battles yet.


    Once Divine Traversing Realm experts participated in the fights, it would signify that the war would escalate overall. Both sides'' zero hour would also not be far.


    These several old ancestors had already sent out considerable strength to clash head-on with the Fierce Gale World. But the frontal battlefields were all crushing defeats. This made them treasure their own strength even more, unwilling to send people for the front lines.


    "Humph! Our Three Sects have already sent out elite forces to the southeastern four cities! Us few old fellows didn''t even say anything, and each and every one of you guys is frightened?"


    Seeing that these people still wished to conserve strength at this time, that icy-cold Jing Xuan finally flew off the handle.


    The other sects'' old ancestors were all silent as cicadas in cold weather. No one dared to make a sound.


    Jing Xuan would not speak under normal circumstances. But once she spoke, that weight was rather heavy.


    Although the alliance was founded, the Endless World''s these few sects still had their own interests and legacies to preserve in the end. How could they bear to let their own people go to their deaths?


    Ning Yixian swept a glance over everyone and said indifferently, "All not speaking right? Then I''ll name the names."


    All of a sudden, the entire assembly hall''s atmosphere tensed up.


    Ning Yixian''s gaze swept over everyone''s faces one by one. With each people it swept to, their breathing would become nervous.


    Ning Yixian finally fixed his gaze on that Blackflame Sect''s old ancestor who spoke previously. That person immediately felt his scalp tingle.


    This Crimsonlight City was a hot potato. It was virtually a mission with little chance of returning. Sending their Blackflame Sect people over, how could they still return?


    Just as the Blackflame Sect''s old ancestor had a look of bitterness, suddenly, a servant came in to send word, "Alliance Chief, Lord Ye Yuan has already returned. He''s currently outside the hall right now."


    Ning Yixian stood up in a flash and said, "Quick! Quickly invite him inside!"


    Blackflame Sect''s old ancestor only heaved a long sigh in relief when he saw Ning Yixian''s expression.


    No matter what, this round at present was considered passed.


    Before long, Ye Yuan brought Liu Hong, the four of them, and slowly entered the assembly hall.


    Ning Yixian''s gaze locked onto Ye Yuan firmly, his gaze revealing astonishment.


    "Alliance chiefs, are you all well?" Ye Yuan said.


    Ning Yixian came back to his senses. Grabbing hold of Ye Yuan''s arm, he said in delight, "Younger Brother Ye Yuan, this improvement speed of yours is too exaggerated! Before entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, you were only Second Level Sea Transformation. Not even a month''s time has passed and you actually already broke through to Eighth Level Sea Transformation. Truly giving Elder Brother, I, a shock!"


    The originally tense atmosphere in the hall was thoroughly broken by Ye Yuan''s return, letting them all loosen up considerably.


    Yet, only at this time when they heard Ning Yixian say so, did everyone finally startle awake abruptly.


    Taking part in the trial once, less than a month''s time from start to finish, and actually broke through six boundaries all at once! This was also too exaggerated!


    But Ye Yuan said carelessly, "Huhu, obtained some lucky chances in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. That''s why I had some breakthroughs."


    Ning Yixian''s expression became nervous as he asked, "Which level did Younger Brother Ye reach in the end?"


    With him asking, everyone perked their ears up.


    They were all very curious what level Ye Yuan reached in the end.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The eighth level."


    The sound of drawing in cold breaths immediately sounded out inside the assembly hall.


    "This . . . This isn''t a joke, right? The eighth level! In these ten thousand years, only one person made it to the eighth level!"


    "Doesn''t that mean that Ye Yuan is on par with the number one genius in ten thousand years? My God, this is also too inconceivable!"


    "Do you guys think that he is bragging? The seventh level is already very heaven-defying. The eighth level . . ."


    "Brag your head! Before Ye Yuan came out, he had two consecutive Perfect Completions. Making it to the eighth level is fame following credit, right? Furthermore, with Old Hai and those four great geniuses present, this sort of lie would be exposed straight away, okay?"


    How could they know that Ye Yuan was not boasting but was too reserved?


    Ning Yixian said in excitement when he heard that, "Younger Brother Ye is truly a genius among geniuses. To actually have even greater talent than the Grand Yan True Lord several thousand years ago! Congratulations, Younger Brother! With Younger Brother''s talent, ascending to the Divine Realm will be close at hand!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Rice has to be eaten mouthful by mouthful. I''m only Sea Transformation Realm right now. There still a very long way to go before ascension!"


    Hearing these words, Ning Yixian''s appraisal of Ye Yuan in his heart grew considerably.


    Compared to Guo Taoqun they all, although Ye Yuan was young, he was much more level-headed.


    "Oh, right, there''s something that I want to tell everybody. Everyone has to be mentally prepared. The Vast Heaven Pagoda . . . is already gone!"

 591 Taking the Initiative to Volunteer!

    "What did you say?! The Vast Heaven Pagoda . . . is gone?" Qin Hongtao nearly jumped up.


    Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan''s expressions changed drastically too. Their gazes looked towards Ye Yuan heatedly, waiting for his explanation.


    In contrast, although the others present there were also shocked, their reactions were not as exaggerated as Ning Yixian the three of them.


    There was even a bit of gloating over others'' misfortunes in the eyes of a small portion of the people. After all, the Vast Heaven Pagoda belonged to the Three Sects. Whether it disappeared or not did not have too big a relation with them.


    "Grandfather, not long after Ye Yuan came out and we were just about to leave the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm, all of a sudden, the earth trembled, and the mountains swayed. The Vast Heaven Mystic Realm actually detached from the ground and flew away!" Qin Yan spoke before the others could.


    Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan both looked at their disciples. Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua both nodded slightly.


    The three great head disciples testifying together, the convincingness was already rather strong.


    After a long while, Ning Yixian finally heaved a sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it, it''s also not what we can control. At the moment, it''s not the time to pursue this either. Let''s continue discussing how to resolve the matter of Crimsonlight City. Ye Yuan, you came back just in time. The Fierce Gale World has been advancing all the way like splitting bamboo, and they already fought until almost reaching Crimsonlight City. You come up with ideas too. Oh yeah, where''s Old Hai?"


    Ye Yuan gave a slight smile and said, "Old Hai said that he had other matters. You make the call here will do."


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan sat down at the seat closest to the right-hand seat, while Liu Hong, the four of them, actually followed and stood behind him, rather like followers.


    The four people''s actions made all the old ancestors greatly surprised.


    These four people''s statuses were extremely high. Even when compared to some sects'' Divine Traversing Realm elders, they were about the same too.


    Because with these four people''s talents, they were bound to become Divine Traversing Realms in the future, even Peak Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    These four people actually stood behind Ye Yuan like underlings. The astonishment in their hearts could be imagined.


    Ning Yixian trio faintly had some guesses but did not change their expressions, treating it like they did not see it.


    As for the others, they all knew that Qi Hai kept these four people behind independently, but did not know why such a sight would appear now.


    "Ahem!" Ning Yixian coughed lightly and said, "Younger Brother Ye is able and resourceful. Since he came back as well, I''ll briefly explain the current Northern Domain situation for him and let him give ideas too!"


    Ye Yuan was not courteous and said with a nod, "I''ll have to trouble Alliance Chief Ning!"


    To let the Endless Alliance''s Alliance Chief personally repeat the war situation, Ye Yuan could also be considered a special one.


    Although Ye Yuan was still Sea Transformation Realm, among the people present, there was already nobody who saw him as a junior anymore.


    This young man''s potential was too great!


    Even though several thousand years had passed, the Grand Yan True Lord''s name was still very resounding.


    Ye Yuan walked even further in the Vast Heaven Pagoda than the Grand Yan True Lord. One could imagine just how great his future accomplishments would be.


    Furthermore, behind Ye Yuan still stood leviathans like Wu Fang City and Qi Hai. Unless one could kill Ye Yuan soundlessly, otherwise, he was bound to be a god-like figure in the Endless World in the future.


    These old ancestors were not fools. How could they possibly do something like digging their own graves?


    Ning Yixian did not find it troublesome either, roughly repeating the current situation.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. He just listened the whole time quietly.


    Although what Ning Yixian said was not considered detailed, Ye Yuan discerned that the Endless World was currently in a very unfavorable situation right now too.


    Moreover, from the information that Ning Yixian revealed by accident, Ye Yuan discovered that these heavyweights still underestimated the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists, resulting in immensely grievous losses.


    These old ancestors each had selfish motives. How could they band together like strands of rope to resist the Fierce Gale World?


    Actually, this sort of situation, Ye Yuan had long predicted it. He was naturally not surprised either.


    "Younger Brother Ye Yuan, I wonder what views you have regarding the present war situation?" In the end, Ning Yixian asked Ye Yuan for advice.


    Everyone''s gaze focused on Ye Yuan, all wanting to hear his thoughts.


    Fighting a month''s war with the Fierce Gale World muddle-headedly, other than knowing that the Fierce Gale World martial artists were very strong, these people really did not know much about other information.


    Each time Fierce Gale World martial artists reached a place, not even fowls and dogs would be left. There was simply not much information transmitted out.


    Hence, while the Endless Alliance looked to be powerful, they actually have not really fought in close quarters much with the Fierce Gale World up until now.


    But Crimsonlight City''s situation at present did not permit the Endless Alliance to shrink back anymore.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said coolly, "Crimsonlight City this battle must be fought no matter what!"


    Ning Yixian was not surprised. He nodded and said, "I think so too. I was just about to send the Blackflame Sect to go and assist, and you came back."


    Blackflame Sect''s old ancestor''s heart thumped as he thought to himself, it''s here again!


    At this time now, if anyone were to step forward to sing a different tune, then that person would be the entire Endless World''s public enemy; he would come to no good end.


    Ye Yuan shot an indifferent glance at the Blackflame Sect old ancestor''s expression and shook his head and said, "I''ll go."


    Everyone was first stunned, then taken aback!


    This action of Ye Yuan''s seriously exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    "You? This . . . This isn''t appropriate, right?" Ning Yixian said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan was Ren Xingchun''s grandson and a junior that Qi Hai regarded highly and more so, the Endless World''s future hope.


    Such an important character, how could he possibly go to the front lines personally to fight in the war? Furthermore, it was going to the most dangerous place?


    The Fierce Gale World''s five-way great army had besieged Crimsonlight City. It was the place in the most desperate situation among all the front lines.


    The Fierce Gale World was so powerful, how could Crimsonlight City be that easy to defend?


    What if Ye Yuan died there? Ren Xingchun and Qi Hai would both fly off the handle!


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Nothing inappropriate about it. Crimsonlight City mustn''t be lost. Once it''s lost, half of the Northern Domain will be lost too. At that time, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. None of us can shoulder this responsibility! Furthermore, the Fierce Gale World''s five-way great army has already surrounded Crimsonlight City until not a drop of water can leak through right now. Once the city is breached, countless martial artists will suffer! So no matter what, Crimsonlight City has to be defended! I see that everyone doesn''t have the intention of going. Then what''s wrong with me going? You all don''t need to be worried about Old Man Ren and Old Hai. My matters, I''ll make the call myself. When something happens, they won''t find you!"


    Having their thoughts exposed by Ye Yuan, Ning Yixian said rather awkwardly, "Younger Brother Ye, you''re mistaken. You''re our Endless World''s hope. What you need to do now should be to increase your strength as fast as possible. Risking danger yourself isn''t a wise move!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "What can increase strength faster than fighting? Alright, my decision is set. Lord Alliance Chief, there is no need to argue on this."


    "This . . . Alright then. I''ll send more experts to follow you. At that time, there will be people to look after too. If the matter can''t be accomplished, you still have to do your best to protect yourself! In my eyes, ten Crimsonlight Cities are not as important as one Ye Yuan!" Ning Yixian said firmly.


    This was not Ning Yixian saying flattery. Ever since knowing that Ye Yuan made it to the eighth level, his view was already the same as Qi Hai.


    Whether the Endless World could drive back the Fierce Gale World or not might fall onto Ye Yuan!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need. Just need the four of them to follow me will do."

 592 Bidding Farewell

    "Just the five of them go? What''s the difference from nobody going?"


    "What can five people do? Ye Yuan his strength is strong, but when placed among thousands upon thousands of soldiers and horses, it probably won''t have any much impact either, right?"


    "It can''t be that after making it to the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s eighth level, he doesn''t know what''s his own surname already, right? No matter how powerful he is now, he''s merely just a Sea Transformation Realm. Even if he can cross boundaries to battle, the Soul Sea Realms in Crimsonlight City are as many as carps crossing the river! Just the Peak Soul Sea Realm martial artists are not in the minority too!"


    With Ye Yuan saying this, below immediately discussed animatedly.


    Although everybody had long accepted Ye Yuan''s might, the war between two worlds and individual battles were a whole other thing.


    Regardless of how powerful the martial artist, when placed among thousands of martial artists, it was still insignificant.


    Even Peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses could not endure the exhaustion of large numbers of martial artists too!


    Ye Yuan saying to use the five of them to go there and assist. Wasn''t this a joke?


    "Ye Yuan, one mustn''t act without due consideration! I know that you''re very confident in yourself, but Crimsonlight City''s situation now is very unfavorable. It''s best for you to bring some more people along. The five of you going simply makes no difference to the war situation at all!" Ning Yixian urged earnestly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This trip, I have a pretty clear idea in mind. Having more people will be inconvenient instead. Lord Alliance Chief rest assured, Ye Yuan absolutely won''t treat his own life as a joke. However, there are a few things that I hope Alliance Chief will promise me."


    Seeing Ye Yuan very persistent appearance, Ning Yixian knew that he could not sway him either and could only say, "Just say those things you need."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Most of the cities in the vicinity of Crimsonlight City had already fallen. It has pretty much become a lone city already. But behind Crimsonlight City, there are still two important cities. One is Fairsun City, the other Perpetual Peace City. If the Fierce Gale World''s great army fails to conquer Crimsonlight City for a long time, it''s very likely to leave Crimsonlight City aside to go and attack those two cities. These two cities must be guarded heavily. Once something happens, Crimsonlight City will completely fall into the Fierce Gale World''s scope of influence. Then it will really be a lone city."


    Ning Yixian nodded and said, "I got it. What else is there?"


    "Additionally, prepare a batch of medicinal herbs for me. I have a use for it. As for the specifics of what medicinal herbs to prepare, I''ll send people to deliver here later. It must be prepared completely before tomorrow morning!" Ye Yuan said.


    "The alliance''s alchemy arrangements are all in charge by City Lord Ren. However many medicinal herbs you require, just directly get them from him will do," Ning Yixian said.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I won''t go through that trouble. I assume that he''s very busy right now too. Alright, Ye Yuan still hasn''t paid respects to parents after returning to Wu Fang City. I''ll head back to City Lord Manor first."


    Finished talking, he said to the four people behind, "You three stay behind for the time being. Liu Hong follow me back to City Lord Manor. Tomorrow morning, the three of you bring the medicinal herbs and gather at City Lord Manor''s entrance."


    "Yes!" The four people acknowledged his words.


    Leaving behind Qin Yan trio was naturally for the sake of letting them bid farewell to their family elders.


    From now onwards, they would have the identities of being his followers, and not those proud children of heaven enjoying myriad of adorations in the past.


    After Ye Yuan left, this meeting had no way of continuing either.


    Originally, they were discussing who to send to Crimsonlight City. Who knew that Ye Yuan actually charged out and directly took on this assignment.


    Especially the Blackflame Sect''s old ancestor who was secretly whistling lucky at this time and had some gratitude towards Ye Yuan.


    Ning Yixian made a few more arrangements, and then let these old ancestors go prepare by themselves.


    After everyone all dispersed, Qin Hongtao''s face fell as he asked Qin Yan, "Yan-er, what actually happened to the Vast Heaven Pagoda?"


    Qin Hongtao''s expression was unkind. Clearly, he really got angry at this grandson of his.


    His own grandson was actually helping outsiders to deceive him. This was something that he could not tolerate.


    Although Ning Yixian and Jing Xuan did not speak, they clearly did not believe the words Qin Yan trio said either.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda had already stood there firmly for tens of thousands of years already. If there weren''t any special circumstances, how could it possibly fly away by itself without rhyme or reason?


    Seeing Qin Hongtao flare up, Qin Hongtao did not have any surprised look.


    "Grandfather, calm your anger. Grandson is not deceiving intentionally. It''s truly inadvisable to be high-profile at this time. Actually, the Vast Heaven Pagoda didn''t fly off by itself but was collected by Ye Yuan. From now on, the Vast Heaven Pagoda belongs to Ye Yuan alone!"


    Qin Yan took his time to recount the events of Ye Yuan clearing the ninth level and collecting the Vast Heaven Pagoda, shocking the three old ancestors to their core.


    Even if they had thought of innumerable possibilities, they did not expect that this Vast Heaven Pagoda was actually the reward for clearing the ninth level either!


    The three people only recovered from their shock after taking a very long time.


    But right now, the three of their faces all had looks of dilemma. The Vast Heaven Pagoda was originally their Three Sects''s object. But now, it was appropriated by Ye Yuan for himself. This was something that they were unable to tolerate.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda was an immensely valuable fortune. How could it be gone just like this?


    But Guo Taoqun heaved a sigh and said, "Old Ancestor, don''t be thinking too much. Old Hai made me bring a few words to you all."


    Ning Yixian''s expression became intent as he said with a nod, "Speak!"


    "Old Hai said, the Vast Heaven Pagoda is just a dead object. Placing it there, you all can''t even make it through the sixth level! But Ye Yuan is somebody with a great destiny. The four of us following him will receive endless benefits! With him around, the Endless World won''t perish! Don''t think about harming Ye Yuan. Otherwise, he''ll go to the Three Sects personally to find you guys and have a discussion! The urgent matter on hand is to integrate the various sects'' strength to cope with the Fierce Gale World''s invasion!" Qin Yan said slowly.


    Qin Yan''s words made the three old ancestors'' hearts tensed up.


    Qi Hai seemed to have long guessed what they were thinking. That was why he instructed these three juniors to relay his words. Furthermore, even though he was not in the alliance, his guess was not far off the mark regarding the alliance''s matters. He knew that right now, they were still a pile of loose sand.


    This warning could not be said to not be severe. If the three of them really dare to act rashly without careful thought, Old Hai might really do something.


    Ning Yixian was the most prudent and already broke out from that sort of restless emotion earlier. He looked at Guo Taoqun and said, "Are the three of you already prepared to follow wherever Ye Yuan goes?"


    Guo Taoqun suddenly kneeled and did a kowtow towards Ning Yixian, saying in a solemn voice, "Taoqun is a Heavenly Martial Sect member in life and a Heavenly Martial Sect''s ghost in death! In the future, when I have some accomplishments, Taoqun will definitely bring the Heavenly Martial Sect to greater heights, becoming my Endless World''s number one faction! From the moment Ye Yuan came out of the pagoda, Taoqun knew that he''s a target whom I''m unable to surpass all my life. Following him, perhaps I can obtain unimaginable achievements!"


    Ning Yixian looked at Guo Taoqun with a complicated look. He only gave a long sigh after some time and said, "Forget it, forget it, you go then! But I hope that you''ll remember today''s words. Don''t let me down!"


    Guo Taoqun said with a steadfast gaze, "Old Ancestor rest assured; Guo Taoqun absolutely dare not to forget!"


    Qin Hongtao looked at his own grandson and said helplessly, "Seems like you have this idea too?"


    Qin Yan nodded and gave Qin Hongtao a solemn kneel. Yin Yanhua imitated the two as well, paying obeisance to Jing Xuan.

 593 The First Hand Seal!

    City Lord Manor was also a scene of bustle right now.


    Following the war between two worlds drawing back the curtains, the front line martial artists'' demand for medicinal pills skyrocketed too.


    Ren Xingchun has been leading the pill refinements all along these days and did not participate even in the upper echelons'' meetings.


    Ye Yuan went to pay respects to his parents. What surprised him was that his mother, Ren Hongling, was actually cultivating in closed-seclusion. Instead, it was his father who was idle.


    He only knew after asking that ever since Ren Hongling regained essence energy, she started to cultivate frenziedly. In this period of time where Ye Yuan was at the Vast Heaven Mystic Realm, she had been in closed-seclusion all along.


    Regarding his mother''s situation, Ye Yuan could only smile helplessly. Looks like these few years, the desire that his mother suppressed in her heart finally erupted.


    After meeting, the father and son pair could not dispense with a round of showing great concern. Ye Yuan briefly recounted the Vast Heaven Pagoda journey, making Ye Hang very excited.


    An artifact which made the entire Endless World crazy was actually taken into possession by his own son. This sense of accomplishment was huge.


    Being informed that his son had to leave again tomorrow, Ye Hang said with a loud laugh, "Go on, go on! Fine men have to be ready to realize their aspirations all over the world! But now, the situation has changed drastically. This Crimsonlight City is an extremely dangerous place. Take utmost precaution!"


    Ye Yuan perceived unwillingness to part and concern from Father''s eyes. But Ye Hang put on an appearance of not caring at all. It was hilarious. But Ye Yuan was touched in his heart even more.


    Although Ye Yuan''s current strength had long surpassed Ye Hang, in Ye Hang''s heart, Ye Yuan was forever a child.


    But Ye Hang''s support regarding Ye Yuan''s decision already became unconditional. Because he believed in his own son.


    Apart from this, Ye Hang had unbounded confidence in his son.


    If one was to say the name of the Endless World''s savior, then this savior was definitely Ye Yuan!


    "Father, put your mind at ease. Yuan-er has a score in his heart and won''t mess around. Moreover, in the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, I obtained a type of very powerful talisman. Even when facing Peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, I have the strength to protect myself too," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    The reason why Ye Yuan took on this mission which everyone was unwilling to take was that Crimsonlight City was too important.


    Unless they sent out Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses, other people going would only be courting death.


    Furthermore, the martial artists of a dozen over southeastern cities were gathered in Crimsonlight City. The number was huge. Once the city was breached, then the people would be plunged into an abyss of suffering.


    Ye Yuan had long treated the Endless World as his own home already. How could he bear to watch such a thing happen?


    Of course, Ye Yuan going this time still had another objective, and that was to see what were these Fierce Gale World folks were planning. Why would they carry out this sort of heartless act like massacring the people in these cities?


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, although the Fierce Gale World''s people were warmongers, they were not bloodthirsty.


    There were definitely reasons for doing such a thing.


    Indeed, once Ye Hang heard Ye Yuan say so, his heart was immediately set at ease.


    . . . . . .


    "What? Ye Yuan he actually wants so many medicinal herbs in one go? He . . . Even if he''s taking these medicinal herbs to eat for food, he doesn''t need so many either, right?"


    Ning Yixian saw the inventory in his hand and was shocked until his jaws nearly hit the ground.


    The grades of these medicinal herbs were not high. The highest was also just Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal herbs. But the quantity marked on the list was seriously too massive.


    "You mustn''t forget, this boy is still an alchemist!" Jing Xuan reminded.


    Ning Yixian was stunned, but he still shook his head and said, "Of course I know that he''s an alchemist. But there aren''t that many alchemists inside Crimsonlight City either. What does he want to do with so many low-level medicinal herbs? Him refining medicinal pills alone, even if he refined till the year after next, he can''t finish refining either, right?"


    "Ye Yuan tends to exceed all expectations when doing things. Him doing so should have his own intentions. Going to Crimsonlight City this time, he''s only bringing the four of us. Then this big play naturally has to fall on these medicinal herbs. Although I don''t know how he will refine medicinal pills, I think that he wouldn''t go so far as to do this because he''s bored," Yin Yanhua said.


    Ning Yixian was stunned. Thinking carefully, it seemed to be like this. He then ordered people to prepare the medicinal herbs.


    "Do the three of you have anything in mind? Ye Yuan playing a lone hand this time, how on earth is he planning on resolving Crimsonlight City''s crisis?" Ning Yixian suddenly asked.


    The three people all shook their heads blankly. Guo Taoqun said, "Honestly speaking, starting from the first time I laid eyes on Ye Yuan, I''ve never figured out his thoughts at all! My thoughts simply can''t keep in pace with his. When I calculate ten steps, he probably already calculated a hundred steps long ago."


    Ning Yixian smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "Putting aside you guys, even this old man has never figured out his thoughts before either. Forget it, forget it, let him toss and turn himself. Us, these old fellows, just have to ensure the logistical work will do! Old Man Qin, our two families each send out a team again, and head towards Fairsun and Perpetual Peace, these two cities, respectively!"


    Qin Hongtao nodded and said, "Alright. No problem!"


    "Since the three of you are going follow Ye Yuan in the future, keep in mind to not give in to personal feelings. His strength has already surpassed yours by far too much now. You guys have to double up yourselves. Not just anyone has the qualifications to follow by a powerhouse''s side!" Ning Yixian said solemnly.


    The three people''s expression tensed up, and they all nodded their heads somberly.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan and Ye Hang conversed all the way till midnight before returning to their own rooms.


    In is room, with just a will of his mind, he arrived inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "This Nine Characters True Word Formula is truly incomparably profound. The ''Lin'' character''s first hand seal, I''m unable to form it to this day. But through such a long time of fumbling about, I''m only missing one final step as well. I wonder if my Heart Realm can break through after forming this first hand seal."


    This period of time, apart from cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan was comprehending the ''Lin'' character.


    Except that this rate of progress was even slower than he imagined.


    Ye Yuan had been anticipating all this while that he could have some breakthrough in Heart Realm after this ''Lin'' character had some breakthrough.


    Ye Yuan closed his eyes slightly and started visualizing the ''Lin'' character.


    Through this period of visualization, Ye Yuan could faintly sense that this ''Lin'' character had a total of nine hand seals. But what he could visualize clearly right now was only this first hand seal.


    These nine hand seals formed a complete seal. If one could completely acquaint themselves with these nine hand seals, the power would likely be unimaginable!


    In a twinkle, a night passed. Dawn was breaking.


    All of a sudden, a rather mysterious sensation poured into Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Ye Yuan opened both eyes abruptly, both hands swiftly forming a seal!


    Ye Yuan who was initially just lacking one final step actually successfully formed it this time!


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s heart rate suddenly sped up. The Heart Realm which had already reached a bottleneck originally actually burst through directly!


    Except, this final result made Ye Yuan rather disappointed.


    "Sigh . . . I thought that I''d already reached the threshold of Heart Like Monolith. Turns out that it''s just the Heart Like Still Water''s bottleneck! No wonder Heart Realm boundaries are so hard to break through. Just the first level of Heart Like Still Water is so challenging already. If I didn''t acquire this Nine Characters True Word Formula, I''m afraid I don''t know how long I''d have to be stuck at this bottleneck," Ye Yuan said helplessly.

 594 Slaughter Our Way In!

    Heart Realm this sort of thing was a mystery even among mysteries. Even in the Divine Realm, nobody could give the accurate minor boundaries divisions either.


    All along, Ye Yuan had half-baked knowledge regarding Heart Realm as well.


    Along with the time of him entering Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm getting increasingly longer, he thought that he had already walked very far along the path of Heart Realm.


    But looking at it now, it was not the case at all!


    Ye Yuan realized that he probably only stayed for a time on a Heart Like Still Water''s minor boundary up until now.


    And succeeding in the ''Lin'' character''s first hand seal, Ye Yuan finally broke through this minor boundary.


    Ye Yuan entered into Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm and fastidiously sensed the changes after breaking through.


    However, he discovered to his dismay that there did not seem to be too obvious a change.


    "Could it be that apart from reducing the expenditure on heart force, there aren''t other changes? The advancement in Heart Realm is a kind of auxiliary realm. There must still be other effects! Oh right! Comprehending concepts!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and started to comprehend concepts.


    At this time, Ye Yuan discovered to his joy that his speed when comprehending concepts actually obtained a substantial increase!


    This sort of enhancement was not worth mentioning when relatively speaking about the entire concept''s comprehension duration, but accumulating months and years, this sort of enhancement margin would be very terrifying!


    Ye Yuan attempted to comprehend the Scorching Concept earlier. He discovered that the short while of comprehension efficiency just now was twofold than before!


    In the past, Ye Yuan already noticed that under Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm, the speed of comprehending concepts was slightly faster compared to normal.


    But breaking through the bottleneck now, he did not expect that the extent of the increase would actually be so great!


    "Heh, so that''s how it is! Really looking forward to what kind of changes Heart Realm will have after comprehending the second hand seal!"


    Ye Yuan who tasted the benefits gave rise to a strong interest in the eight hand seals at the back of the ''Lin'' character.


    If he were to fully comprehend the nine hand seals, then wouldn''t the comprehension speed of concepts be ridiculous?


    But, on this point, Ye Yuan also deeply sensed the powerful aspect of this Nine Characters True Word Formula.


    Just a ''Lin'' character had such formidable might.


    One had to know that the speed of comprehending concepts was entirely dependent on talent. If there wasn''t any heaven-defying lucky chance, it was simply impossible to have any change.


    And the ''Lin'' character could actually cultivate and advance his Heart Realm. It could even promote the speed of concepts comprehension through Heart Realm. This was simply unheard of!


    This was equivalent to saying that a martial artist''s cultivation could totally disregard talent!


    Such an effect was simply too heaven-defying!


    However, cultivating the Nine Characters True Word Formula with Ye Yuan''s talent, the effects were clearly more prominent!


    This made Ye Yuan having immense interest in the other eight characters too. When he had time, he must study them well.


    Right at this time, Xu Zihui''s lowered voice came from outside the door, "Younger Brother Ye, Qin Yan the three of them have already been waiting for a long time."


    Ye Yuan went out and said to Xu Zihui, "I''ve made Elder Brother wait for long. I''ll head over right now."


    Walking a few steps, Ye Yuan suddenly turned around again and said, "Oh yeah, Elder Brother, after coming back from this trip, I''ll assist you to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm! This period of time, you think of ways to gather these few kinds of medicinal herbs. Wait till I come back, I''ll help you refine medicinal pills!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan threw Xu Zihui a jade slip.


    Xu Zihui practically received the jade slip quiveringly. He had already been stuck at the Ninth Level Soul Sea Realm for a very long time but kept on failing to find the opportunity to breakthrough.


    To the Endless World''s martial artists, Divine Traversing Realm was a massive threshold. The vast majority of martial artists were unable to cross it.


    One should not look at how those Divine Traversing Realm experts in the various Northern Domain''s great sects were as many as dogs. In comparison to the entire number Endless World''s martial artists, Divine Traversing Realm experts were truly very rare.


    It was unknown how many Soul Sea Realm experts harbored grievances in front of this massive threshold.


    Xu Zihui''s age was not considered young either. His hope of breaking through was already increasingly bleak. He himself was almost giving up all hope.


    So these few years, he had his thoughts placed on grooming his son all along and was rather negligent with his own cultivation instead.


    He never would have thought that he could actually really break through to Divine Traversing Realm one day. How could this not agitate him?


    As for the words Ye Yuan said, he never doubted them before.


    Ye Yuan opening a forum and giving a sermon in Wu Fang City caused a huge sensation. Xu Zihui already knew that.


    He knew that even City Lord, His Excellency, could not possibly reach such a level too!


    What Ye Yuan was lacking right now was just cultivation realm!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan had confidence in breaking through to Soul Sea Realm before coming back this time!


    Xu Zihui was just about to say a whole bunch of appreciative words only to hear Ye Yuan say, "Alright, is there still a need for such formalities between us? Swallow the words in your stomach back down!"


    Xu Zihui was stupefied, then immediately smiled fatuously and said, "This favor, Elder Brother accepts it!"


    "Huhu, that''s right!" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    . . . . . .


    Roughly ten days later, Ye Yuan, the five of them, put away the spirit boat they used and descended on a mountain range ten thousand miles outside of Crimsonlight City.


    "Brother Ye, a fiendish aura is surging to the skies in the direction of Crimsonlight City. Looks like these Fierce Gale World martial artists all lost their mind in the slaughtering! Just how long has it been to actually accumulate such a horrifying fiendish air?!" Qin Yan said.


    Ye Yuan also knew that these few people were following him just for the sake of seeking a lucky chance. So he did not go overboard either and let them address him Brother Ye would suffice.


    Although it was rather weird, it sounded much better than master or whatever.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened slightly too, and he said, "Even though Fierce Gale World martial artists are intrepid, they shouldn''t fall so low to the extent of becoming butchers. This Zhao Tianyin truly deserves death!"


    Separated by a distance of ten thousand miles, Ye Yuan they all could feel the fiendish aura surging to the skies. It could be seen just how many people those Fierce Gale World martial artists killed in this period of time.


    The dozen over southeastern cities were probably already reduced to savage battlefields!


    "Brother Ye, then what should we do now?" Liu Hong asked.


    These four people were uncertain what Ye Yuan planned on doing as well.


    Five people coming to support such a large city. This was simply a fantastical tale.


    And Ye Yuan kept his mouth tightly shut along the way too as if he did not have the intention of explaining. This made the intense itch in their hearts even harder to endure.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Enter the city!"


    The four people were stunned. Guo Taoqun said in surprise, "Brother Ye, according to the reports, in order to prevent spies from sneaking in, all the transmission arrays in the city has long been destroyed already. Without transmission arrays, how do we enter the city?"


    After Crimsonlight City sent out the courier to request reinforcements, they destroyed all of the transmission arrays.


    Now, Crimsonlight City''s grand array was activated, and the city gates tightly shut. It was simply impossible to go in.


    So when Ye Yuan said to enter the city, the four people all felt very surprised.


    Under such circumstances, how should they enter the city?


    Ye Yuan did not reply, but countered with a question, "The array formation that I taught you guys, how''s the rehearsal?"


    Upon hearing that, Guo Taoqun said excitedly, "Heh, Brother Ye''s Four Symbols Battle Formation is indeed formidable! With the four of our strength coordinating with the array formation, being evenly-matched with late-stage Soul Sea martial artists is nothing difficult too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he heard and said, "Very good. Then let''s . . . slaughter our way in!"

 595 Seeing Shangguan Lingyun Again

    "S-Slaughter our way in?"


    Guo Taoqun almost sprained his tongue. The other three people clearly had choked up expressions too. They did not think that Ye Yuan would actually say such crazy words.


    Liu Hong swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Ye, the Fierce Gale World''s five-way great army, the martial artists are probably as many as in the millions. Among them, there are no shortage of late-stage Soul Sea Realm experts! Slaughter our way in . . . That isn''t too likely to work, right?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "What? Scared? There''s still time now. You guys return first then. I''ll just go in alone."


    With this, the four proud children of heaven got stimulated.


    Guo Taoqun said stammeringly, "S-Scared of what?! Men have to die heroically! I''ll fight with you!"


    Yin Yanhua''s beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "I''m going too!"


    Ye Yuan looked at the other two with a half-smile and said, "What about you guys?"


    The two gritted their teeth and said, "Go!"


    "The four of you just need to bother with slaughtering a path in. Don''t need to care about anything else. Leave the rest to me. Remember, don''t break away from the array formation no matter what!" Ye Yuan warned.


    The four people''s expressions became severe, and they nodded their heads to acknowledge one after another.


    . . . . . .


    A distance of ten thousand miles was not far for these people. After half a day, four people appeared in front of the Fierce Gale World''s great army.


    As far as the eye could see, the dense mass were all human heads, striking terror into the hearts of Liu Hong, the four people.


    These were all powerful martial artists and not mortal armies!


    So many people, each person spitting a mouthful of spittle was also sufficient to drown the four of them!


    But Ye Yuan did not show too much expression on his face. He said indifferently, "You all just treat it like you''re still inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Most of these martial artists are also just Crystal Formation and Sea Transformation. Soul Sea Realm experts are only the minority comparatively speaking. With your strength coordinating through the Four Symbols Battle Formation, slaughtering our way in shouldn''t be hard."


    The Four Symbols Battle Formation was a Tier 4 array formation with immense might. It was especially suited for battle.


    Not only could this array formation reduce the four people''s essence energy consumption, but it could also increase the four people''s average combat power even more so!


    Liu Hong, the four of them, were originally the Endless World''s pinnacle geniuses. After coming out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, they had each already broken through to Second Level Soul Sea.


    With their strength, dealing with ordinary middle-stage Soul Seas was absolutely not an issue.


    With the Four Symbols Battle Formation, the four of them working together to deal with ordinary late-stage Soul Seas was also no object.


    Along the way, the mission that Ye Yuan assigned to them was to rehearse this Four Symbols Battle Formation.


    These four people were all talented and brilliant people. Though the time was short on this trip, they were already considered to have learned the rudiments of this set of array formation.


    The five people''s appearance immediately alarmed the Fierce Gale World''s great army. A large group of martial artists came up and fenced the few of them in a tight ring.


    "It''s Endless World martial artists! Kill without mercy!"


    These Fierce Gale World martial artists clearly lost their minds with the killing already. Upon seeing the five people, they were going to take action and kill people without a word.


    When Liu Hong the four people saw the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' actions, fury surged in their hearts with a fwoom.


    The four people went into battle formation and started killing!


    Liu Hong, the four people, were all Soul Sea Realm experts. They were originally cranes standing among chickens in front of these ordinary martial artists to begin with. Coordinating with the Four Symbols Battle Formation, the four of them were akin to tigers entering a flock of sheep. They immediately cut a large swath. Wailing sound rose from all directions.


    But these Fierce Gale World martial artists all did not fear death. Seeing this sort of situation, not only did they not retreat, they became even more frenzied instead.


    Ye Yuan deployed a small cluster of Thousand Flowing Petals and followed behind the four step by step, like strolling idly in a courtyard.


    Occasionally, some who did not have eyesight came in front of him, and the petals directly reaped their lives.


    Ye Yuan discovered that each one of these Fierce Gale World martial artists all had immensely heavy fiendish aura, their state akin to insanity. Evidently, there were considerable Endless World martial artists'' fresh blood on their hands.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan also discovered that he had somewhat underestimated Zhao Tianyin''s charisma in the Fierce Gale World.


    No wonder the Purple Mansion Sect did not hesitate to destroy the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array to link together the realm passageway after lurking in the Endless World for several thousand years.


    The power of faith was truly frightening!


    Continuing according to this sort of situation, these martial artists would most likely lose themselves in the end, becoming a machine that only knew slaughter.


    "What on earth does this Zhao Tianyin want to do?" Ye Yuan''s brows could not help furrowing.


    . . . . . .


    The disturbance stirred in this corner spread to the central army''s main tent very quickly.


    A young man with a dignified bearing stood in the air and looked towards that corner.


    "Lord Shangguan, no idea where several fellows who don''t fear death popped out from. To actually dare rush at our great army. This subordinate will send people to exterminate them right now!"


    The person speaking was called Deng Sheng; he was one of the main commanders in the five-way great army with a Ninth Level Soul Sea strength!


    This young man in front of him was only Seventh Level Soul Sea strength, but Deng Sheng was extremely deferential towards him.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would recognize this young man. He was precisely the Shangguan Lingyun who had not fought with him when he was at the Fierce Gale World!


    Since Ye Yuan returned from the Fierce Gale World, not a year''s time was up. This Shangguan Lingyun actually broke through a full major realm, becoming the commander-in-chief for the five-way great army!


    Shangguan Lingyun nodded and said, "You make a trip personally then. Bring a few more people over. Among the five people over there, four have Soul Sea Realm strength. Furthermore, the four of them seem to be rehearsing some kind of array formation. The power is quite strong! Additionally, one person seems to only have Sea Transformation Realm strength. But I have a feeling that this Sea Transformation Realm is the strongest among them!"


    Deng Sheng was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect that Shangguan Lingyun would actually give such an evaluation.


    He sensed that Sea Transformation Realm existence too. But the commotion caused by that Sea Transformation Realm was clearly not as big as those Soul Sea Realm experts.


    Shangguan Lingyun actually gave such a high appraisal of that Sea Transformation Realm. This made him rather disapproving.


    No matter how powerful a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was, how strong could they get?


    However, regarding Shangguan Lingyun''s orders, Deng Sheng did not dare to defy. He would not dare to look at how this person in front of him was just Seventh Level Soul Sea, his true combat strength was even stronger than peak Soul Sea Realm!


    Deng Sheng picked ten middle-stage Soul Sea Realm martial artists and directly flew to Ye Yuan there.


    Liu Hong the four people charged all the way over. Most were Sea Transformation Realm and Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, dying upon touching.


    Occasionally, there were a few initial-stage Soul Sea Realm experts that surrounded over. It was basically also the outcome of them getting instantly wiped.


    Deng Sheng the few of them flew over to this side very quickly. Deng Sheng yelled out, "All back off for me!"


    Those martial artists were not as undisciplined as the Endless World martial artists. Upon hearing these words, they vacated a large piece of open space very quickly.


    Deng Sheng''s group of people landed in front of Ye Yuan''s five people, blocking their path.


    "A few punks who don''t know life from death. To dare bully my Fierce Gale World for having no one?" Deng Sheng said ferociously.


    In this short while, the Fierce Gale World could be said to have massive casualties.


    Ye Yuan''s figure flashed, blocking in front of the four people, and said coolly, "You guys walk around the side. Leave these dregs to me."


    "Yes, Brother Ye!"


    Facing Ye Yuan''s order, the four people did not hesitate at all, directly killing over towards the side.


    How haughty a person was Deng Sheng? Hearing that Ye Yuan, a puny little Sea Transformation Realm, actually dared to look down upon him, he could not help blowing a fuse.


    "Boy, you''re courting death! The few of you, attack for me! Hack this brat into pieces!"


    Under Deng Sheng''s command, ten middle-stage Soul Sea Realm experts joined forces and attacked Ye Yuan!


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan blasted a fist out nonchalantly. Deng Sheng''s expression suddenly changed!

 596 Yousre Differen

    A single punch, and ten middle-stage Soul Sea experts flew out like heavenly maidens scattering blossoms!


    Ye Yuan''s application regarding true dragon strength was even more skillful now. The power of this move already could not be mentioned in the same breath as well.


    With Ye Yuan''s current combat power, middle-stage Soul Seas were basically opponents that could not last a single exchange with him!


    "T-This is a joke, right? This Sea Transformation Realm martial artist''s strength is actually so formidable!"


    "Those few are all Lord Officers. They actually couldn''t even block a punch of his?"


    "Where did this boy pop out from? Too terrifying!"


    The shock that this scene brought to those Fierce Gale World martial artists was too intense. They were staring with their mouths gaping for a time.


    A Sea Transformation Realm sending ten middle-stage Soul Sea experts flying directly with one punch. This violated common sense too much!


    Finished striking out that one punch, Ye Yuan did not stop in the slightest. He still walked forward unhurriedly, gradually nearing to Deng Sheng.


    This sort of attitude was as if this was not among thousands of soldiers and horses but Ye Yuan''s own residence''s backyard.


    Being unsettled by Ye Yuan''s imposing manner, Deng Sheng actually took a step back unconsciously.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan arrived in front of Deng Sheng and stopped to say calmly, "Get lost. I only want to enter the city."


    Everyone drew a cold breath. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist actually said "get lost" to the commander of an army. Furthermore, that commander actually retreated a step!


    Deng Sheng''s face flushed scarlet red and felt that he lost face in front of so many subordinates.


    "Boy, you''re too rampant! Just the likes of you alone wish to enter the city too? Do you really treat us like we don''t exist?" Deng Sheng was threatening in manner but inwardly shaky.


    Honestly speaking, he was shocked by that scene earlier too!


    One punch sending ten middle-stage Soul Seas flying. He touched his heart and felt that he could accomplish it too. But it absolutely could not be accomplished like lifting something heavy as if it was light like Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, he did not need to look and also knew that those ten officials at this time were already left with less than half.


    Ye Yuan directly smashed half of the people to death with one punch!


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You said it like you exist. If you still don''t scram, I''m going to attack!"


    Deng Sheng''s expression changed. The pressure that this Sea Transformation Realm gave him was seriously too great. Even he felt it was rather preposterous.


    All along, they all felt that the Endless World martial artists were all soft persimmons. But today, he finally ran into a formidable character!


    Except that this formidable character seemed to be extremely tough!


    This was in the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses! This boy was actually thinking of slaughtering his way into the city directly!


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either. Raising his hand, it was a Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage punch.


    Deng Sheng also did not think that Ye Yuan actually really made a move against him directly.


    Caught off guard, he could only hastily withstand it.


    Rumble!


    Deng Sheng''s body was directly smashed flying out!


    But Deng Sheng''s strength was clearly much stronger compared to those middle-stage Soul Seas. This punch from Ye Yuan did not cause much substantial damage to him.


    Except . . . in front of so many subordinates, it was a tremendous loss of face.


    However, it was not over yet. Ye Yuan''s figure flashed. With a rumble, it was another punch!


    Deng Sheng was smashed flying out once again.


    When the two punches smashed, Ye Yuan pounced ahead and already advanced a thousand feet away. He actually caught up to the Liu Hong four people who were killing enemies vigorously.


    Rumble!


    An imposing momentum that toppled mountains and overturned the seas engulfed everything and swept over, sending the surrounding bunch of Fierce Gale World martial artists directly flying out.


    Deng Sheng''s aura instantly rose to the peak, his two eyes fully red. Clearly, he was already enraged to the max!


    A main commander of an army like him was actually pressed against the wall and had his face smacked today. How could this not infuriate him?


    "Stinking brat! You''re dead for sure!"


    A horrifying aura spread out. Deng Sheng was going to be serious!


    However, facing this scene, Ye Yuan was still very calm, as if the target that Deng Sheng was attacking was not him.


    Right at this time, a silhouette suddenly appeared in the air in front of Deng Sheng.


    "Put it away. You''re not his match!"


    The arrival was precisely Shangguan Lingyun!


    Seeing Shangguan Lingyun, Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too.


    He knew that this Shangguan Lingyun was the number one genius on par with Zhao Chenggan, but had never fought before. To think that not seeing for a period of time, the other party was actually late-stage Soul Sea already!


    "Ye Yuan, long time no see! Didn''t expect that when we meet once again, it would actually be at such an occasion!" Shangguan Lingyun greeted with a smile as if he ran into an old friend of many years.


    Even though Shangguan Lingyun''s strength advanced considerably, Ye Yuan''s current strength was also incomparable with the past. He naturally would not mind.


    "You didn''t expect it? But I expected it long ago," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Shangguan Lingyun was dazed, but he understood Ye Yuan''s meaning very quickly and said smilingly, "The martial artist world is where the weak are prey and the strong feasts in the first place. The Endless World is on a declining trend but enjoys such excellent resources. My Fierce Gale World is powerful but suffers the anguish of gale winds all year round. Therefore, this excellent territory should naturally be enjoyed by us!"


    "Is that so? Then what''s with the massacring of cities?" Ye Yuan did not argue but countered with a question.


    Towards such an excuse, Ye Yuan was too clear, and he also could not be bothered to dispute anything.


    Shangguan Lingyun said, "Weaklings should have the manner of weaklings! Your Endless World sealed the realm passageway for thousands of years. How much of our time have you wasted? This is the punishment that Wind Emperor, His Majesty, gave the Endless World!"


    "I underestimated Zhao Tianyin that old dog. Looks like he still has some capabilities! At least, this method of obscurantism, he used it to the acme of perfection. However . . . do you believe this sort of reason?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Hearing Ye Yuan scold Zhao Tianyin old dog, Shangguan Lingyun did not display a look of anger. Instead, he smiled and said, "Wind Emperor, His Majesty, is our paramount ruler. Whatever he says is naturally all correct! As his citizens, we only need to do things according to what he says."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed as he sized Shangguan Lingyun up curiously.


    Shangguan Lingyun had a smile on his face; the words he said seemed to be as a matter of course.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s not right. Logically speaking, your Shangguan Family and Zhao Tianyin should be implacable enemies. It''s fine if he''s deceiving some fools, but you all, these first-rate families, shouldn''t be to the extent of being deluded by his words, right?"


    Shangguan Lingyun said smilingly, "You don''t need to rack your brains either. Wind Emperor, His Majesty, is Wind Emperor, His Majesty. His word is the imperial edict. Ye Yuan, you''re different from these Endless World''s lowly martial artists. Why not join our Fierce Gale World? With your strength, becoming the wind emperor in the future is a certainty!"


    This Shangguan Lingyun was a clever man. He saw through that Ye Yuan was trying to worm facts out of him.


    Seeing that there was no success, Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don''t give me that! Zhao Tianyin that old dog must die! The next time you see him, help me tell him to wash his dog head clean and wait for me to chop it!"


    Shangguan Lingyun''s face was still smiling as he said coolly, "Honestly speaking, I don''t wish to be enemies with you. But it looks like we still can''t avoid crossing swords! How about this, let''s only use one move. If you win, I''ll let you enter the city. How''s that?"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "I thought that you''d use your subordinates'' lives to hold down the fort. Didn''t think that you still quite cherish these subordinates!"


    Shangguan Lingyun smiled and said, "If it was somebody else, they are naturally undeserving of me making a move. But you . . . are different!"

 597 Grant You a Battle

    That scene of Ye Yuan wasting Zhao Chenggan was still fresh in Shangguan Lingyun''s memory.


    Although his strength improved greatly now, he still did not dare to look down on Ye Yuan.


    Let alone that the combat strength Ye Yuan displayed earlier was plenty to make people feel shocked.


    Toward Ye Yuan, Shangguan Lingyun maintained the mentality of fear from start to end.


    This was not just because Ye Yuan''s strength was super strong. How he escaped out of the Fierce Gale World on that day was a mystery all along as well.


    Reportedly, Lord Wind Emperor personally showed up at the scene that day, but Ye Yuan was still standing here perfectly well right now. That by itself indicated a lot of problems.


    Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun and suddenly smiled and said, "Fine. Bring it!"


    Even though these martial artists were clay chickens and pottery dogs to Ye Yuan; him killing in and out as he wished ten times over was not an issue, these martial artists were different from those demonic beasts in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. They would not collide into the tip of his spear without heed for their lives.


    Even if Ye Yuan did what he did inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and used the Myriad Rain Sword Blades, the effects would be greatly discounted too.


    Furthermore, just the Ninth Level Soul Seas here were quite a few. Ye Yuan naturally could not possibly kill off every single one.


    His goal was very simple, which was in order to enter the city.


    Since Shangguan Lingyun was willing to let him pass, that was naturally for the best.


    As for losing to Shangguan Lingyun . . . Ye Yuan never thought of this possibility!


    Shangguan Lingyun lifted his hand slightly. Those Fierce Gale World martial artists immediately vacated a large area. The battle that originally encircled Liu Hong, the four of them, also stopped at this time.


    "Actually, back at the Fierce Gale World, I''ve been looking forward to a fight with you. Today, I finally got my wish! It''s just that sadly . . . I probably can''t enjoy to my heart''s content today." Shangguan Lingyun made a move with a faint smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I''ll grant you a battle!"


    Ye Yuan did not see Shangguan Lingyun take any other action, but the surrounding essence energy closed in around the latter crazily.


    That imposing momentum was actually even stronger than Deng Sheng''s previously!


    Gradually, a bright full moon condensed and formed in front of Shangguan Lingyun, looking rather lustrous and serene and moving.


    Yet, the killing intent emitting off from that full moon made everyone''s blood run cold!


    Seeing this scene, Liu Hong, the four of them, were stricken with terror too.


    This young man''s age was more or less the same as theirs, but his strength was actually much more stronger!


    Could it be that the strength of the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists were all formidable to such an extent?


    They could not help becoming worried about Ye Yuan. Although they all knew that Ye Yuan''s strength was very strong, this young man was a major realm higher than him after all.


    Furthermore, this youth''s combat strength was exceptionally formidable. Could Ye Yuan resist or not?


    The four people exchanged glances and could not help becoming worried about Ye Yuan.


    Facing the powerful Shangguan Lingyun, Ye Yuan was unconcerned.


    When Xuanying Sword was drawn, ten thousand streaks of sword blades condensed and formed very quickly.


    Seeing this scene, Shangguan Lingyun''s expression changed and he said somberly, "Condensing the form of gathered essence! Heh, a Sea Transformation Realm can actually achieve condensed form of gathered essence. You truly are a peerless genius! Full Moon Slash!"


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    It was only to see that bright moon rotated with extreme speed, slicing over toward Ye Yuan. It collided against those ten thousand streaks of sword blades very quickly.


    That bright full moon was like an extremely swift blade, slicing those sword blades into fragments one after another instantly!


    Streaks of sword blades were annihilated like this by the bright moon. But that bright moon was also becoming faint at an incredible speed.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    Finally, it was still the sword blades which depleted the Full Moon Slash first. The remaining bits and pieces streaks of sword blades flew towards Shangguan Lingyun.


    Except, these remaining sword blades were nothing to be feared to Shangguan Lingyun.


    Only to see him wave his hand casually. Those sword blades dissipated into nothingness.


    "You won," Shangguan Lingyun said with a faint smile, as if he had long predicted the outcome.


    "Something within expectations," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Huhu, I originally thought that my improvement in this one year was already huge. Didn''t expect that your improvement was even greater! You''re only at the Sea Transformation Realm and can actually achieve condensing the form of gathered essence already. Truly remarkable!" Shangguan Lingyun said.


    "Is that very hard? I could already do it when I was Second Level Sea Transformation," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said with a smile, "To a genius like you, it''s naturally simple. But to mediocre talents like us, it''s something that''s impossible to accomplish."


    From birth until now, Shangguan Lingyun had always been crowned with the title of genius.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, he simply did not have the capital to be called a genius.


    However, him admitting this fact so calmly and declaring himself mediocre still made Ye Yuan rather surprised.


    Ye Yuan said with a slight smile, "You''re stronger than Zhao Chenggan. No wonder you can stand here, while he can only become a good-for-nothing."


    Shangguan Lingyun suddenly looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that wasn''t a smile and said, "A good-for-nothing huh? I afraid not!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, "What do you mean?"


    "Huhu, nothing. I just want to say that Brother Ye might still have the chance to meet Zhao Chenggan. Furthermore, that day shouldn''t be too far away."


    "Even if he stands before me again, he''s still a good-for-nothing," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    His heart was far from as calm as on the surface. He was distinguishing the true and false of Shangguan Lingyun''s words.


    He already damaged Zhao Chenggan''s dantian at that time. With Zhao Tianyin''s means, it was impossible to help Zhao Chenggan restore his dantian.


    What the hell was happening here?


    Moreover, logically speaking, it was impossible for Shangguan Lingyun to have such rapid improvement speed. Yet, he rose a full major realm. How did he accomplish it?


    Ye Yuan felt more and more that the Fierce Gale World''s invasion this time was not quite normal; exuding strangeness all over.


    "Brother Ye''s talent stands above others. But better don''t look down on Zhao Chenggan. When he comes out this time, he''ll probably become different! Alright, one must be willing to lose if they bet. You guys enter the city then."


    Shangguan Lingyun moved aside and actually really opened up a path.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and walked towards the city gates unhurriedly.


    "L-Lord Shangguan was actually defeated? This . . . How is this possible?"


    "Who in the world is that youth? To actually be able to defeat the ever-victorious Lord Shangguan with Sea Transformation Realm strength?"


    "Yeah. The last time Lord Shangguan personally took action, he killed three late-stage Sea Transformation experts with one move! I thought that he was already invincible beneath Divine Traversing Realm. Didn''t expect that . . . he actually lost!"


    "I thought that the Endless World was all a bunch of trash. Didn''t think that there was actually still such a strong youth! He''s not yet 18 years old, right? His strength is actually even stronger than Lord Shangguan''s!"


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed made the countenance of all the Fierce Gale World martial artists change.


    In their view, Shangguan Lingyun''s strength was already formidable until he was unbeatable. Unless it was a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse who came, otherwise, there was simply no possibility of losing.


    Along the way, Shangguan Lingyun very rarely made a move. But each time he took action, it was killing in one move no matter how powerful the opponent was.


    But today, the invincible Lord Shangguan actually lost to a youth a full major realm lower than him! This was too subverting!


    Under everyone''s stupefied gazes, Ye Yuan walked towards Crimsonlight City slowly.


    As he made his move, the Fierce Gale World martial artists automatically moved aside, creating a path for him.

 598 Questioning

    Above Crimsonlight City''s tall city gates, there were several silhouettes currently looking into the distance, taking everything that happened below the city gates into their sights.


    "City Lord, this youth is incredible. Even the Fierce Gale World''s commander isn''t this match!"


    The one speaking was called Ding Qi, City Lord Su Hu''s confidant; he was an Eighth Level Soul Sea Realm expert.


    Su Hu''s expression was as per normal. But that hint of surprise in his eyes could not be wiped away.


    Hearing Ding Qi appraise that youth, he nodded and said, "No idea where this youth popped out from. His strength is truly terrifyingly daunting! He''s only at the Sea Transformation Realm and can actually cross a major realm to battle!"


    Ding Qi''s eyes flickered, and he said, "City Lord, could this youth be the reinforcements that the alliance sent us?"


    Su Hu was stunned and said with a nod, "We''re cut off from all information with the outside world right now and don''t know the arrangements of the alliance at all. Hearing you say this, there''s really that possibility. But . . . what if it''s a ploy?"


    Ding Qi was secretly startled and said, "With City Lord saying this, I''m really quite worried. Ever since that Fierce Gale World''s young commander led the great army, they have always mowed down all resistance. Many troublesome opponents were all personally disposed of by him. Furthermore, I heard that they were all killed with one move. That youth is strong, but it is truly a bit too ridiculous."


    With Ding Qi''s analysis, the suspicion in Su Hu''s heart grew even more, "With you saying this, I''m really starting to doubt! This youth is a bit too ridiculously powerful. Those ten middle-stage Soul Sea experts earlier actually could not survive one exchange with him! Although that punch of his looked to be very terrifying, it might truly have the suspicion of acting out a play!"


    "Also, that young commander clearly did not go all out. So many martial artists facing five people, why should they make way?"


    "En. Also! Even if this youth''s strength is really that powerful, he''s one person after all. What help is there to the war situation by coming here? Even if he can come and leave as he pleased, how will be lead so many people to escape with their lives?"


    Ding Qi and Su Hu exchanged a glance and said, "Could it be that this youth is really here to trick us? Once we open up a gap in the grand array, those Fierce Gale World martial artists below will have the opportunity to take advantage! I''m not worried about others, but that young commander''s strength is too formidable. To say that he''s the number one person beneath Divine Traversing is also not over the top! Once he''s been given a hint of an opportunity, behind us are the lives of all the people in the city!"


    The pair chipped in a word each and finally concluded Ye Yuan''s ''true identity.''


    And at this time, Ye Yuan already arrived below the city gates too.


    While Shangguan Lingyun at this time was looking at them from a place not far away, his face still carrying a smile.


    "City Lord Su Hu, we''re the reinforcements that the alliance sent! Please open up the grand array and let us go in!" Qin Yan mustered up essence energy and shouted in a clear voice.


    Su Hu''s brows furrowed and he gave Ding Qi a look.


    Ding Qi understood and called out, "Do you all have any proof?"


    Qin Yan took out a silk-like object and fired a seal at it. That silk vanished directly and appeared in front of Su Hu.


    Su Hu took a look at the silk. Indeed, it was an item issued with the alliance''s name. But Su Hu''s expression still did not take a turn for the better.


    The time the Endless Alliance has been established was too short. Many systems had all yet to be perfected.


    Crimsonlight City was too distant from Wu Fang City and was not familiar with many of the alliance''s things.


    A tiny piece of silk, they were simply unable to differentiate the truth from the false.


    "This thing is too easy to copy. We can''t open the array formation!" Ding Qi called out in a clear voice.


    Qin Yan was stunned. He did not think that these fellows were actually so inflexible. He was someone quite arrogant at heart and haughty in manner after all. Coming to assist this city and they actually did not believe him. This made his young master temper flare up.


    "Open your dog eyes and look! I''m the Myriad Sword Sect''s Old Ancestor, Qin Hongtao''s, grandson! Can it still be fake?" Qin Hongtao said furiously


    Once Su Hu heard this, the suspicion in his heart grew even more. He said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, would Old Ancestor Qin send his own grandson here? Don''t joke with me! Looks like you guys are indeed sent by the Fierce Gale World to trick us!"


    "You!" Qin Yan could not help choking up but did not know how he should refute.


    Yeah, logically speaking, Qin Hongtao indeed would not send his own grandson here to this sort of dangerous place, let alone that they still directly charged towards the city very arrogantly just now.


    Seeing this scene, Su Hu could not help shaking his head very disappointedly and said, "Sigh, looks like over at the alliance there can''t be counted on. Can it be that this city full of Endless World martial artists all can''t escape the vicious killing?"


    Inside the city was packed full of martial artists right now. As the city lord, Su Hu had immense pressure too.


    Facing everything outside the city, he had no choice but to be cautious. One careless move and the price was not what he could bear.


    "Huhu, looks like your own people aren''t very trusting of you guys!" Shangguan Lingyun gloated over their misfortune.


    Ye Yuan turned out and gave him a nonchalant glance and said, "Seems like you''re very pleased!"


    Shangguan Lingyun smiled and said, "Shouldn''t I be pleased? Even if I let you guys go over, you all can''t enter the city too, isn''t it so?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "The four of you stick close to me. We''re entering the city."


    "Ah?" The four people were dazed, and they had not yet reacted when Ye Yuan''s figure already moved and arrived at the edge of the grand array.


    "What are you still in a daze for?" Ye Yuan urged.


    The four people hurriedly caught up.


    Ye Yuan''s stepped out and directly crossed into the grand array.


    Seeing this scene, the smile on Shangguan Lingyun''s face immediately froze there.


    This grand array which obstructed thousands of soldiers and horse was actually regarded as nothing by Ye Yuan?


    The reason why the Fierce Gale World''s five-way great army did not have any incident all along, surrounding and but not attacking, was because of this grand array before their eyes!


    This grand array was called Mystic Crystal Iron Chain Array; it was a true-blue Tier 5 low-grade grand array. Unless Divine Traversing Realm experts came here, there was simply no way to crack it.


    All this time, Shangguan Lingyun was not in a hurry and only surrounded and did not attack. As long as this place became a lone city, they would take it down sooner or later.


    Who could have thought that this grand array which even Soul Sea Realm experts were powerless against, Ye Yuan entered with a lift of his leg!


    Qin Yan four people could not help being overjoyed when they saw the situation and hurriedly followed Ye Yuan into the grand array.


    When the Su Hu on top of the city gates saw this scene, his countenance likewise changed abruptly. He hurriedly said to Ding Qi, "Quick! Deploy the grand array and kill the five of them for me!"


    Ding Qi was also startled inwardly and hastily took out a talisman and fired essence energy into it, transmitting back to the center of the grand array controlling the array formation.


    The one presiding over the grand array was a young Tier 4 array master. His name was Shao Siqi.


    Although he was unable to unleash the grand array''s full power, deploying the grand array to resist martial artists beneath the Divine Traversing Realm was still achievable.


    Receiving the message in the talisman, he did not dare to delay and hurriedly deployed the grand array, wanting to kill Ye Yuan five people.


    Yet, with this deployment, Shao Siqi''s expression changed, "What''s going on? This . . . Why is this Mystic Crystal Iron Chain Array out of my control?"

 599 Yet to Go All Ou

    When Ye Yuan appeared in front of Su Hu, he could not suppress the shock in his heart.


    This young man actually crossed over directly into the array formation, and then flew on top of the city walls and stood in front of him.


    Su Hu very much wanted to slap this youth before his eyes to death with one palm. However, not knowing why, he actually could not raise his hand.


    "You''re City Lord Su Hu?" Ye Yuan looked quietly at Su Hu and asked.


    "Insolence! You actually dare to be disrespectful towards City Lord, His Excellency!" Ding Qi reproached.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and still looked at Su Hu quietly, waiting for his reply.


    Su Hu discovered that he actually had a feeling of being short on breath in front of this youth!


    Finally, he could not endure this sort of stifling atmosphere and said with a nod, "That''s right, I''m Su Hu! Could it be . . . that you are really here to reinforce Crimsonlight City?"


    When Qin Yan saw this Su Hu, he immediately felt irate. He was just about to fly off the handle when he was pulled by Yin Yanhua from behind, shaking her head at him.


    Qin Yan was startled. Glancing at Ye Yuan, he kept his mouth shut.


    "It''s naturally true. Otherwise, do you think that I''ll still stand here perfectly well speaking to you?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Su Hu was secretly alarmed and knew what the words Ye Yuan said meant.


    Since he could bring these four people into the grand array, he could naturally bring others into the grand array.


    If Ye Yuan was really a spy sent by the Fierce Gale World, why would he need to waste this time talking crap with him?


    Even though he did not know just what problem occurred over at the grand array''s central, Ye Yuan''s might had clearly already exceeded their understanding.


    An out-and-out Tier 5 grand array actually could not block Ye Yuan the slightest!


    Thinking this through, Su Hu had a look of embarrassment as he clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "This Sir, truly sorry. There are too many irrational aspects with the appearance of you people, so I''m a little careful too. Didn''t think that it nearly led to a disaster!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No worries. City Lord is burdened with heavy responsibilities. Being a little careful is as ought to be. Rather, this Ye directly barging into the formation was quite brusque. Hope that Your Excellency won''t blame us."


    Ye Yuan really did not blame Su Hu. Or else, with his personality, he would definitely not be so polite.


    This Su Hu being able to guard Crimsonlight City until now was already very not easy.


    Shangguan Lingyun was an extremely intelligent person. There was most likely more than one bluff used in between this. If Su Hu did not handle carefully, he would probably have fallen for it long ago.


    To be able to persevere until now, this Su Hu was worthy of Ye Yuan''s respect.


    When Su Hu saw that Ye Yuan was so easy to talk so, he relaxed greatly in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s fame had already spread far and wide long ago at Wu Fang City, but Su Hu did not recognize him.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was definitely some big shot''s junior. That was how he had such strength.


    With a young man''s arrogance plus such strength, he should have thought nothing of him. To think that he was actually so easygoing.


    Earlier, that young man behind Ye Yuan was clearly going to fly off the handle but forcefully suppressed it. Rather like a young master.


    Hang on, could it be that he was really Old Ancestor Qin''s grandson?


    Thinking up to here, Su Hu''s heart involuntarily thumped.


    Those four people behind Ye Yuan all had extraordinary bearings. Furthermore, they were all Second Level Soul Sea strength. At this age, it was absolutely top-notch strength.


    If looking at it like this, the likelihood of this young man being Old Ancestor Qin''s grandson was very high!


    But the problem was, these four people clearly looked to Ye Yuan for instructions, even looking like followers.


    Then just what was the identity of this 17, 18 years old youth before his eyes?


    With Old Ancestor Qin''s status, how could he let his own grandson be a youngster''s follower?


    Su Hu felt that he was rather confused. Just what was the background of this youth before him?


    These five people combination was seriously too strange. It made him unable to understand what it was all about.


    But one thing was very clear, and that was that these few youngsters could not be offended!


    Disregarding the powers behind them, just talking about Ye Yuan blasting ten middle-stage Soul Sea experts flying with a punch, their own strength could not be ignored!


    Thinking this through, Su Hu panted a little unwittingly.


    "Dare not, dare not. You came to rescue us from the siege, but I slammed the door in your faces. No matter what, It''s my fault! It''s just . . ." Su Hu looked at Ye Yuan, just five people, and could not help revealing a difficult look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and followed up, "It''s just that why is it only the five of us, right?"


    Su Hu gave an awkward smile.


    Ye Yuan continued saying, "Because the five of us are enough!"


    Su Hu''s impression of Ye Yuan was pretty good. But hearing Ye Yuan say such raving words at this time, he could not help criticizing inwardly.


    "I saw Sir''s strength earlier. Even the Fierce Gale World''s main commander was helpless against you. But for us, these people, are not the Fierce Gale World''s match!" Su Hu said in a roundabout manner.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Here isn''t the place to talk. Can we go to City Lord Manor to chat?"


    Su Hu was stunned and smacked his head and said, "Look at this brain of mine, my fault, my fault! Sir, please."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed Su Hu to the city lord manor.


    . . . . . .


    "Lord Shangguan, just what kind of person was that youth? To actually have such terrifying strength?"


    The central army''s main tent, Deng Sheng still had a look of astonishment on his face. The impact that Ye Yuan''s performance earlier brought him was too intense.


    Shangguan Lingyun gave him a glance and said indifferently, "Are you aware that a year ago, there was an Endless World youth who infiltrated into the Central Capital, and he threw the capital into an upheaval?"


    Deng Sheng''s expression changed drastically when he heard that and exclaimed in shock, "It''s actually him! No wonder! No wonder! Even Seventh Prince, His Highness, suffered defeat at his hands. No wonder he had such formidable strength! It''s just that . . . I heard that when he fought with Seventh Prince, he was still only a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. How long has it been . . . He''s actually already approaching Soul Sea Realm?"


    Such cultivation speed was simply unheard of.


    Furthermore, even though Ye Yuan''s breakthrough speed was fast, the increase in strength was even faster!


    He was just Sea Transformation Realm and could actually already wield condensing the form of gathered essence to such a level. Truly terrifying!


    That attack previously was luckily Shangguan Lingyun fighting with Ye Yuan. If it were him, he would probably be a dead soul claimed under Ye Yuan''s sword already.


    "I initially thought that my improvement this one year was already very great. When I met him once again, I should be able to win him for certain. Didn''t expect that running into him today, it''s still hard to say who will be the victor." Shangguan Lingyun said with a sigh.


    Deng Sheng could not help choking up when he heard that, feeling that he was completely not on the same level as these peerless geniuses at all.


    Their improvement speed, he could not catch up to it even by whipping the horse.


    "Lord Shangguan, although that Ye Yuan is formidable, in the battle previously, Lord Shangguan didn''t use your full power, right? If Lord Shangguan went all out, how can that punk be milord''s match?" Deng Sheng gave a compliment without leaving a trace.


    But Shangguan Lingyun said with a smile, "Did you think that Ye Yuan went all out?"


    Deng Sheng''s expression changed, and he said, "The might of that one move, even I don''t dare to clash head-on either. Could it be that that still wasn''t his full strength?"


    Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said, "I don''t know. That exchange previously, we just merely just both parties probing out the other party''s strength. But I think that his strength should be more than that!"

 600 Preserving Strength

    A puny little Sea Transformation Realm with strength daunting to such a degree. This was something that Deng Sheng could not understand.


    In his view, a person like Shangguan Lingyun was already monstrous to the peak.


    An existence even more monstrous than him already surpassed the boundaries of his understanding.


    The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of crossing boundaries to battle.


    Reaching the Soul Sea Realm, the difference between each minor boundary was huge.


    Shangguan Lingyun was only Seventh Level Soul Sea and already hailed as the number one person beneath Divine Traversing. This was already very heaven-defying.


    A Sea Transformation Realm brat was also so daunting. What kind of situation did this count as?


    "Lord Shangguan, then what should we do now?" Deng Sheng could not refrain from asking.


    The Endless World sent a boy with strength on par with Shangguan Lingyun. It was really quite troublesome.


    Shangguan Lingyun only said coolly, "Wait!"


    Deng Sheng was stunned as he said, "Wait?"


    Shangguan Lingyun''s gaze penetrated the central army''s main tent and looked in the direction of Crimsonlight City and said, "Looks like, the war is going to escalate!"


    . . . . . .


    "Mister Ye, I wonder what means you have to preserve City Lord Manor?" Su Hu asked. In City Lord Manor, right after taking their seats, Su Hu started inquiring.


    These few days, Su Hu had been like an ant on a hot pan all along. The suffering in his heart, probably only he himself could understand.


    He had always been extremely cautious, sitting on pins and needles, anticipating that the alliance could resolve Crimsonlight City''s crisis every day.


    But he never would have thought that the alliance actually just sent five people over.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have guessed what Su Hu was thinking in his heart and said smilingly, "City Lord''s capital sunk these days, this Ye feels indebted as if I received it in person. It''s just that . . . even though this Crimsonlight City is important, it''s also a bottomless pit. The people inside the city are people. Aren''t the people outside the city people too?"


    Su Hu was stunned and asked perplexedly, "What do Mister Ye''s words mean?"


    "The Fierce Gale World''s great army besieging Crimsonlight City, why do they surround and not attack all along?"


    "Of course it''s because we have a Tier 5 grand array protecting!" Su Hu said without thinking.


    He felt more and more that Ye Yuan was unreliable. Such an obvious thing, was there still a need to ask?


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Although a Tier 5 grand array is powerful, it isn''t invincible. This Mystic Crystal Iron Chain Array is an array formation that prioritizes defense. Furthermore, you guys only have a Tier 4 array master presiding over the grand array. There is simply no way to unleash the power of this grand array. Even if Divine Traversing Realm experts don''t take part in the battle, with the numbers of this five-way great army concentrating attacks on the grand array every day, how long can your essence crystals withstand for?"


    No matter how powerful the grand array, it needed to expend essence energy too.


    Even though Crimsonlight City was large, under the circumstances without assistance, how many essence crystals could there be to expend?


    One had to know that to maintain a colossal array formation like this, especially under the circumstances where there were powerful attacks outside, the essence crystals expended every day was a very terrifying sum.


    But why did the Fierce Gale World great army not do this?


    Su Hu''s heart thumped and had a feeling of falling into a pit.


    "Although it''s said that the strong reigns supreme in the martial artist world, and that as long as one''s strength is strong enough, they could disregard everything. In a war like this, everyone''s strength hasn''t pulled apart to such a ridiculous degree. Sometimes, schemes are very effective! Using a fighting style of besieging a city to strike at their reinforcements at this time most likely proves effective every time!"


    Ye Yuan''s words crumbled Su Hu''s mental line of defense bit by bit.


    Sects stood in great numbers in the Endless World. This sort of large scale martial artist war, they had never experienced before.


    But the Fierce Gale World was different. Their martial artists had absolute loyalty and were not much different from mortal world armies.


    Plus, the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' strengths were a notch stronger to begin with. The Endless World being utterly routed was also something within expectations.


    And Crimsonlight City was merely just a small blade of grass along the advancement path of the Fierce Gale World; it was able to be uprooted at any time!


    What the Fierce Gale World great army wanted was even greater results of battle!


    Once the alliance sent a big army over to support Crimsonlight City, what awaited them would be a deadly blow!


    This was also one of the reasons why Ye Yuan did not bring people over.


    It was true that Crimsonlight City was important, but if countless martial artists that came to aid died because of Crimsonlight City, then the loss outweighed the gain.


    "There''s even a possibility that those cities'' martial artists from before were deliberately released by the Fierce Gale World. The goal was in order to let them rush to Crimsonlight City and form this present sort of stranded situation!" Ye Yuan''s gaze looked deeply towards the distance, seemingly wanting to see through just who was guiding this war.


    Su Hu drew a cold breath. He discovered that his back was already drenched.


    If it was really as Ye Yuan said, then the entire Endless World was being toyed with in the palm right now!


    This person behind was too terrifying!


    Furthermore, Su Hu increasingly felt that Ye Yuan''s theory was very likely. Except, if it was him who was thinking, he could not figure it out no matter what.


    At this time, how could Su Hu still have any doubt towards Ye Yuan? He even had a feeling of admiration.


    This young man''s strength was not only formidable, but the set-up was also not an ordinary kind of big!


    Those old ancestors at the alliance probably could not think of this level either, right?


    Using a very long time, Su Hu finally subsided the astonishment in his heart. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again became not quite the same.


    "Then . . . what should we do now, Mister Ye? Could it be to let the martial artists in the entire city all die here?" Su Hu sought advice.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "If the alliance planned to give up on Crimsonlight City, then I wouldn''t have come! Since I came, I naturally have to bring you all out safely!"


    Su Hu was also a clever person. It was just that those too involved could not see clearly. Many things were unable to be seen clearly.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so at this time, he immediately understood Ye Yuan''s meaning and could not help saying in surprise, "Mister Ye''s meaning is that . . . we break out of the encirclement? No way, no way! You don''t know how strong the Fierce Gale World martial artists are! We''re simply not their match! Once we break out, even if we can escape, probably not many will survive as well."


    "Hur hur, you fool! Brother Ye has been to the Fierce Gale World''s Central Capital before. Do you think that he''s familiar with Fierce Gale World martial artists or not?"


    Qin Yan was enraged badly prior to this and could not find a place to vent all along. At this time, finally catching a topic, he retaliated without any hesitation.


    Even though the few of them were followers, the pride in their bones were still there.


    Them submitting to Ye Yuan did not represent that they were also willing to submit to a puny little Soul Sea Realm city lord.


    Indeed, once Su Hu heard that Ye Yuan had been to the Fierce Gale World''s Central Capital before, the expression on his face immediately changed.


    "M-Mister Ye has truly been to the Central Capital before?" Su Hu said in amazement.


    The war progressing until now, the Endless World martial artists more or less also knew some things about the Fierce Gale World.


    And this Central Capital was precisely one of it. Because it was too famous!


    At the thought that Ye Yuan could still return safely after going to the Central Capital, how could Su Hu not be shocked?


    Ye Yuan smiled as he nodded and said, "The Fierce Gale World martial artists are not insurmountable. When we came in, didn''t we litter the ground with the bodies of their men and horses too? As long as our forces are strong enough, why should we fear them?"


    Su Hu''s expression changed several times and finally heaved a long sigh and said, "Mister Ye, is there no other way?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The Fierce Gale World''s goal is in order to kill people. So our best response right now is to not let them kill! We will preserve our strength for now. There will come a day to counterattack!"

 601 Counter-Controlling Array Formation

    "Then . . . when should we withdraw?" Su Hu asked powerlessly.


    Him, as the city lord of a region, was naturally unwilling to leave his own territory.


    Actually, in the end, he was still harboring some mentality of a fluke, hoping to be able to preserve Crimsonlight City.


    How could Ye Yuan not perceive his thoughts? He said, "The sooner, the better. However . . . Wee have to make some preparations. Otherwise, leaving the city will be equivalent to courting death."


    Su Hu became spirited when he heard that and asked, "What kind of preparations does Mister Ye need to do?"


    "City Lord, Your Excellency, arrange all the martial artists in the city sorted out according to their respective realms. Three days later, gather all the martial artists above Crystal Formation Realm together. Is there any difficulty?" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan originally thought that Su Hu would reveal a difficult look. Who knew that he answered without even thinking about it, "Okay, no problem! Three days later, practicing field north of the city, I''ll gather everyone together."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Su Hu said rather proudly, "When these martial artists entered the city, I already ordered people to register all the martial artists that swarmed into the city. What needs to be done now is merely sorting them out into categories. These few days, there were naturally also some people causing trouble in the city. They were all suppressed by me with strong means. Now, they all know my prowess, and nobody dares to cause trouble either."


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "Huhu, City Lord has such skill! Since that''s the case, I''ll start my closed-seclusion now. Three days later, meet at the practicing field north of the city!"


    Right at this time, a young man barged into City Lord Manor unceremoniously and yelled out at the top of his voice, "City Lord, things are bad! The grand array has lost control!"


    Su Hu''s complexion darkened, and he reproached the youth who rush inside, "What''s the shouting and wrangling for? Didn''t you see there are guests present? The grand array is fine. No need for you to worry!"


    This young man was precisely the young array master, Shao Siqi, who was managing the city protecting grand array. Only upon hearing Su Hu say so, did he notice the existence of Ye Yuan, the few of them.


    But he still said in bafflement, "City Lord, how do you know that the grand array is fine? You sent a message earlier to let me mobilize the grand array to kill the people who barged into the formation. But I discovered that I simply couldn''t control the array formation anymore! Ah . . . These people can''t be . . . can''t be . . ."


    Shao Siqi suddenly understood something, his gaze looking at Ye Yuan oddly.


    Ye Yuan said, "That''s right. It''s me."


    Shao Siqi''s eyes went wide, and he said in disbelief, "You? How is that possible? You''re only Sea Transformation Realm! How can you possibly make me lose control of the array formation? Those four people behind you are more like it!"


    "Shao Siqi, you shut your mouth for me! Do you know that . . ."


    Su Hu had a face full of awkwardness. This Shao Siqi dragged his skeleton out of his closet, making him very embarrassed.


    Although Ye Yuan definitely knew long ago this order of his, saying it out was not too nice.


    Now, this Shao Siqi was bumbling about too. Offending Ye Yuan, this little ancestor, was not something fun.


    He was just about to reprimand Shao Siqi but was stopped by Ye Yuan with a gesture.


    Ye Yuan said to Shao Siqi, "Don''t believe? We can give it a try! As long as your array formation can touch a corner of my sleeves, count it as me boasting earlier. I''ll apologize to you. How about it?"


    Shao Siqi also had the temperament of a young man. Moreover, he was a Tier 4 array master and a Soul Sea Realm existence. How could he possibly be afraid of Ye Yuan, a Sea Transformation Realm?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan actually dared to look down on him like so. This made him even more displeased.


    "Fine. Try it out then. Am I scared of you?"


    Shao Siqi got cracking right away, directly taking out a black-colored flag and was going to set up an array.


    When Ye Yuan saw this black-colored flag, his expression could not help turning intent. This was actually a low-grade profound artifact!


    A Tier 4 array master actually had a low-grade profound artifact in his hands. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    "Scarlet Fire Formation!"


    Shao Siqi gave a light cry. A miniature array formation immediately condensed and formed. Clusters of fire instantly engulfed Ye Yuan.


    The might of a profound artifact! Instantly completing an array!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces changed, while Shao Siqi had a look of being pleased with himself.


    Shao Siqi was just angry and wanted to embarrass Ye Yuan. This fire naturally could not burn people to death. It was only to make Ye Yuan a little ragged.


    "What are you smiling for?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Shao Siqi jump in fright. Earlier, everyone''s attention was focused on the center of that bundle of flames, but they did not know since when Ye Yuan already changed his position.


    Ye Yuan walked in front of the array formation and casually tapped a few times on the array formation. The Scarlet Fire Formation directly dissipated into nothing.


    Shao Siqi''s expression changed, and he deployed the black-colored flag once again, yelling out, "Dragon Trapping Formation!"


    "Seven Carnage Formation!"


    "Mystic Moon Formation!"


    . . . . . .


    Shao Siqi instant-casted over a dozen array formations in succession, each one more formidable than the other. But he simply could not touch Ye Yuan at all!


    One had to know that instantly casting array formations would be very sudden to martial artists, catching them off guard. It was simply impossible to guard against.


    Furthermore, Shao Siqi could also make out that actually Ye Yuan waited for his array formations to form each time, and then instantly cracking the formation and exiting, and not avoiding the array formations!


    Looking at it this way, Ye Yuan''s Formations Path attainments was very terrifying!


    He instant-casted array formations, while Ye Yuan instantly cracked the formations!


    Even Master, his elderly self, can not do it with such ease either, right?


    Shao Siqi gritted his teeth and yelled out once more, "Roaming Dragon Golden Sword Formation!"


    It was still instantly forming the formation, but the power of the array formation this time was clearly much stronger compared to that Scarlet Fire Formation from before.


    This was a Quasi-Tier 4 array formation. A Tier 4 array master instant-casting a Quasi-Tier 4 array formation, even if it was relying on the power of a profound artifact, was already very heaven-defying.


    Ye Yuan was only a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist. If following logical sense, this Roaming Dragon Golden Sword Formation was sufficient to trap Ye Yuan in the formation and kill him. At least, it would also severely injure Ye Yuan.


    When the array formation formed, Shao Siqi entire person was like drained, panting heavily in exhaustion.


    However, Shao Siqi''s pupils suddenly constricted, as if he saw something beyond comprehension.


    Only to see several streaks of golden light radiate out from inside the array formation, shooting towards Shao Siqi!


    "Argh!"


    Shao Siqi''s rear end plopped onto the ground in fright, looking miserable.


    Focusing his eyes and looking at those several streaks of golden light already vanished in the air long ago. Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hurting him at all.


    But Shao Siqi still felt that it was beyond logic and above reason. Because the array formation that he laid down was actually seized control of by Ye Yuan instantly and launched an attack towards him!


    Such means were truly inconceivable!


    Even though Su Hu had long known that Ye Yuan came by passing through the array formation, witnessing him counter-control the array formations with his own eyes still blew his mind.


    "Humph! Overestimating your own ability! Why haven''t you left? Making a spectacle of yourself here?" Su Hu said to Shao Siqi fiercely, but gave him a look, indicating to him to quickly leave.


    Shao Siqi final move clearly already crossed the boundaries of probing. Su Hu was afraid that it angered Ye Yuan and made him quickly leave for the best.


    But Ye Yuan stopped it and said smilingly, "You''re called Shao Siqi?"


    Shao Siqi was still in a mess right now. Hearing Ye Yuan question, he nodded his head subconsciously.


    "Your Formations Path level isn''t bad. To actually be able to instantly cast a Quasi-Tier 4 array formation. I wonder if you have a master?" Ye Yuan asked once more.

 602 Plucking Heads

    "My . . . My master is Yu Yichen, a Tier 5 high-rank array master," Shao Siqi said stammeringly.


    By the side, Su Hu seemed to have understood something and hurriedly explained, "Master Yichen has already passed on ten years ago. Siqi he cultivates alone now."


    Ye Yuan sized up Shao Siqi and said with a nod, "Since that''s the case, I''ll impart you a set of array formation. If you can comprehend it fully within ten days, I''ll give you a good fortune. How about that?"


    Shao Siqi was stunned. He still had not recovered to his senses yet now. A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist said that he was going to give him good fortune. No matter how one listened, it sounded somewhat comical.


    Su Hu saw that he was in a daze and hurriedly ran over to slap the back of his head and said, "What are you still in a daze for? Quickly agree!"


    "Ah?" Shao Siqi finally reacted and shook his head and said, "No. Master''s grace to me is as weighty as a mountain. I won''t switch to other factions!"


    Su Hu was enraged when he heard that. He had a look of expecting better from someone as he said, "You simpleton! Master Yichen he has already passed on. Now that there''s a better opportunity, you actually don''t know how to cherish it!"


    Shao Siqi said stubbornly, "Even though Master, his elderly self, is no longer around, I don''t have plans to take on any more masters at all!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No need you to go under my tutelage. I''m only doing this for the sake of completing other people''s entrustment and giving you good fortune. As for how much you can comprehend, it''ll be up to you. However . . . you only have ten day''s time. If you still haven''t comprehended after ten days, it shows that you don''t have this qualification. City Lord, lend me your honorable manor''s training room for use."


    Shao Siqi was stupefied. He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually say such a thing.


    In the training room, when 18 sword puppets appeared in front of Shao Siqi, he had a feeling of being punked.


    "Tier . . . Tier 3 array formation?"


    "You go and enter the formation and give it a try. But cracking the formation doesn''t count. It must be fully comprehending the array formation," Ye Yuan said.


    Cracking the formation and comprehending the array formation were two completely different concepts. With Shao Siqi''s Soul Sea Realm strength, cracking the formation with force was also not an issue.


    But to want to comprehend the Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, that was not so simple.


    "Tch, a puny little Tier 3 array formation. What''s the big deal? Don''t need ten days. Three days are sufficient!" Shao Siqi said disdainfully.


    He could instantly cast Quasi-Tier 4 array formations. He touched his heart and examined himself that comprehending a set of Tier 3 array formation was naturally nothing difficult. No matter how complicated this Tier 3 array formation was.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I''ve already lowered the degree of difficulty of this array formation a lot. But for you to want to comprehend within three days, it''s still impossible."


    With his Tier 9 array master Formations Path attainments back then, even he comprehended for quite a few hours. For a puny little Tier 4 array master to want to comprehend the complete version Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, it was virtually impossible.


    When Ye Yuan was in the city protecting grand array, he already felt that this array master was not ordinary. Hence, that was why he had the thought of feeling him out.


    Seeing that he could actually achieve instant-casting Quasi-Tier 4 array formations, it made Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, before deciding to fulfill Wei Xiao''s entrustment and planned to pass Lu Linfeng''s inheritance to Shao Siqi.


    Furthermore, looking at it at present, Shao Siqi''s character was still pretty good.


    Shao Siqi had a face full of contempt and got up and landed in the array formation.


    But once he entered the array formation, Shao Siqi immediately felt different. The contempt on his face immediately faded.


    "This . . . Is this really a Tier 3 array formation? How can a Tier 3 array formation be so profound?" Shao Siqi immersed in comprehending the array formation very quickly.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he said with a smile, "Let him suffer here then. We have to go do proper stuff too."


    Su Hu forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and followed Ye Yuan out.


    Level-headed disposition, formidable strength, exceedingly high Formations Path attainments. Just what kind of monster was a youth like this?!


    . . . . . .


    Three days later, practicing field north of the city. Tens of thousands of martial artists made a miraculous trip. The scene was spectacular.


    On the stage, Su Hu looked down with an awe-inspiring appearance. He said in a clear voice, "I believe that everybody also knows that Crimsonlight City is already a lone city. It simply can''t be defended for more than a few days! The alliance sent Mister Ye forward to Crimsonlight City to lead everyone to break out of the encirclement!"


    With this introduction of Su Hu''s, below immediately broke out into a noisy mess.


    "What? Sent a Sea Transformation Realm baby here to save us? Has the alliance already abandoned us?"


    "A Sea Transformation Realm brat can still lead us to break out of the encirclement? What a joke!"


    "A baby who''s hair hasn''t even finished growing yet. What can he do? City Lord, we''ll fight with you, Let this baby get lost!"


    "Hey, you all don''t say that. Since the alliance sent this boy over, this boy must have aspects surpassing others in. Boy, if you have the ability, go outside the city and pluck some heads over for us to see. You coming here to bring us to break out of the encirclement, you got to at least let us see your strength, right?"


    When this person spoke, it immediately incurred loud laughter.


    Forget about Sea Transformation Realm, even a Peak Ninth Level Soul Sea strength like Su Hu did not dare to go out of the city to pluck a few heads either!


    Ye Yuan beside Su Hu seemed to have long expected this sort of situation. He looked at that martial artist and said with a faint smile, "If I go out and pluck a few heads back, will you guys listen to me or not?"


    "Oh? Really going for it? Hahaha! Sure. As long as you can pluck a few heads back, we''ll all listen to you! What say you guys?" That martial artist said with a big laugh.


    "Yes!"


    "Yes!"


    . . . . . .


    The other martial artists obviously did not believe that a Sea Transformation Realm brat dared to go out of the city to pluck a few heads back and all hooted one by one.


    The vast majority among these martial artists were all itinerant cultivators. Each and every one of then was used to being undisciplined and carefree. To subdue them was really not something that easy.


    Even though Su Hu this city lord had done pretty well, he only used martial strength to suppress them and not really made them obedient.


    Ye Yuan looked at that martial artist and said with a smile, "What''s your name?"


    "What? Remembering Your Father''s name to find fault? Your Father does not change his name whether I travel or stay at home. I''m Chu Shi!" said that martial artist with his head held high.


    This Chu Shi''s strength was decent. It had already reached the Fifth Level Soul Sea Realm.


    Just a Sea Transformation Realm brat, he naturally thought little of him.


    There were so many people here. Could Su Hu really dare to kill people to their faces? If a riot really happened, Su Hu would be unable to bear the consequences of failure as well.


    These itinerant cultivators were mostly stubborn and unruly people. Among them, greater attention was paid on the weak being prey and the strong feasting.


    Want to let them submit, you must take out true strength.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Chu Shi, is it? I''ve memorized it!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, vanishing before Chu Shi.


    Those martial artists below all exchanged glances. There was actually nobody who saw clearly how Ye Yuan left!


    Seeing this scene, Chu Shi''s expression darkened. He said to the martial artist beside him, "I say, do you guys think that this boy really went outside the city to pluck heads?"


    "Huhu, how is that possible? This brat''s movement technique is just a bit more powerful. Just that bit of strength of his, how is that possible?" That martial artist replied.


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan''s figure already appeared on the stage once again.


    And in his hands, he was currently grabbing a Fierce Gale World martial artist.


    But when everyone looked over, their expressions changed!

 603 Distributing Medicinal Pills

    "F-Fifth Level Soul Sea? My eyes aren''t seeing things, right?"


    "Less than a hundred breaths of time altogether, he actually went down to catch a Fifth Level Soul Sea Fierce Gale World martial artist?"


    "This isn''t a prop prepared in advance, right? Is that person really a Fierce Gale World martial artist?"


    At first glance, when those martial artists saw this scene, it was in disbelief.


    A Sea Transformation Realm capturing a Fifth Level Soul Sea back in such a short time. This was simply a joke.


    But they abruptly came to realize the truth about one thing. The transmission arrays in the city were already totally destroyed. Outside had the Fierce Gale World''s great army surrounding. How did Ye Yuan come in?


    Inside the city was basically in the state of being sealed off. These martial artists simply did not know the commotion that happened outside the city a few days back.


    Only at this time, did Su Hu voice out, "You all are probably still unaware. Several days ago, Mister Ye killed in all the way from outside! You all know the Fierce Gale World great army''s main commander, right? Mister Ye fought a great battle with him outside the city, ending in a draw!"


    With this, below immediately burst into an uproar.


    "Killing all the way in? How is that possible? Could it be that this youth brought a large army over? But . . . where''s the large army?"


    "I heard before that that Fierce Gale World main commander is hailed as invincible under Divine Traversing Realm. This Sea Transformation Realm youth can actually fight to a draw with him?"


    "I . . . I still don''t believe it! This is too fake!"


    That Fierce Gale World commander only had his essence energy sealed currently and was not dead.


    Ye Yuan''s palm force lightly spat. He was killed immediately!


    "Looks like everybody still has doubts about my strength. Chu Shi, you get ready. I''m coming!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    In the crowd, when Chu Shi heard these words, his entire body tensed up, and his hair stood on its ends.


    Actually, he already believed 70% of it. It was just that he never thought that Ye Yuan would actually really make an example out of him!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Shi used his strongest attack.


    Yet, right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly vanished in front of him.


    "You''re already dead," Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out behind Chu Shi.


    Chu Shi was taken aback with fright by Ye Yuan and turned backward, moving back several steps in a row. He saw that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a grin on his head and did not have the intention of making a move.


    The originally clamoring practice field quietened down at this time.


    The impact that Ye Yuan''s strength brought to them was too strong!


    Chu Shi''s forehead was matted in cold sweat. He finally could not endure Ye Yuan''s powerful aura and gave a bow and said, "Mister Ye, please forgive Chu Shi''s offense earlier!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "No worries. I''m young; my cultivation realm is low. You guys looking down on me is normal too. But the reason why I captured this Fierce Gale World martial artist, apart from proving to you all that I have this capability to bring you guys out, is to tell you that the Fierce Gale World martial artists are not undefeatable!"


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan leaped and went on the stage.


    "Mister Ye, your strength is formidable. You''re naturally not afraid of the Fierce Gale World martial artists. But we have all seen the Fierce Gale World martial artists. They are simply utter lunatics! We''re really not a match!"


    "Yeah. I''ve seen before from far away. The Fierce Gale World martial artists killed anyone they saw. Simply a bunch of butchers!"


    "Their strength is really very strong. At the same realm, we''re not their match at all!"


    These people were all clearly frightened by the Fierce Gale World martial artists. Going out like this, they did not need to fight at all and would directly crumble.


    "So, you all hide in Crimsonlight City, planning to be cowards for all your lives? Although you all are willing to be cowards, will the Fierce Gale World let you be? You guys don''t really think that the Fierce Gale World won''t send out Divine Traversing Realm experts forever, right? You are waiting for the alliance to send a large army to save you guys constantly. But do you all know that the alliance is also in an absolutely inferior position right now?! You guys are all martial artists! You should know the rule of the martial artist world! There is no savior in this world that can save you guys! Only yourselves!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Everybody kept quiet. Ye Yuan''s words undoubtedly shattered their hopes completely.


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was very clear. The alliance was unable to even fend for itself right now. It was simply impossible to send a large army over to support.


    Want to survive, they could only go and fight themselves!


    However . . . the Fierce Gale World martial artists were so powerful. Their numbers had an absolute advantage too. How could they possibly break out of the encirclement?


    At this time, Ye Yuan took out a storage ring and showed it in front of everyone, "In this storage ring, there are tens of thousands of Tier 3 and Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills. Now, each one of you gets one medicinal pill. These medicinal pills will help you all increase your strength greatly within a short period of time! Qin Yan, distribute the medicinal pills!"


    Ye Yuan threw the storage ring to Qin Yan. Qin Yan received the order and went.


    These medicinal pills were refined by Ye Yuan along the way. His current strength was already able to barely mobilize the Square Cauldron.


    Along the way, the vast majority of Ye Yuan''s time was all on refining medicinal pills.


    Among these medicinal pills had Sea Expanding Pills, Sea Gathering Pills, so on and so forth. Ye Yuan already instructed Qin Yan to distribute the medicinal pills according to the martial artist''s realm, letting them increase their cultivation realms to the greatest degree from there.


    Ye Yuan had done this thing when he was at the Tranquil Cloud Sect. But his current strength was much more powerful compared to that time. Ten day''s time refining tens of thousands of medicinal pills was nothing difficult.


    Of course, this was also borrowing the power of the profound artifact, Square Cauldron.


    "Medicinal pill? This is the straw that Mister Ye gave us to clutch at? What can one medicinal pill do?"


    "Yeah. A medicinal pill can at most increase a little bit of cultivation. It''s simply no use to the matter!"


    "Normally, I''d definitely be overflowing with gratitude towards Mister Ye. But now . . . what freaking use does one medicinal pill have?!"


    Those martial artists were all clearly unaware of how formidable the Sea Expanding Pill and Sea Gathering Pill was. Regarding Ye Yuan''s ''taken for granted'' action, they were very disapproving.


    Ye Yuan did not explain either. He quietly waited for Qin Yan to distribute the medicinal pills.


    According to Ye Yuan''s instructions, the first to get the medicinal pills were those Ninth Level Crystal Formation martial artists.


    After they got the medicinal pill, they directly swallowed it.


    Before long, a series of essence energy storms howled in the practicing field. Those initially disdainful martial artists were finally visibly moved!


    "Hahaha! I''ve already been stuck at Peak Crystal Formation Realm for many years! To think that I actually have a day where I break through to the Sea Transformation Realm!"


    "I''m going to breakthrough too! This old man thought that it''s hopeless for the rest of my life. Didn''t expect that it can actually shatter the core and form the sea!"


    "This medicinal pills is too miraculous! Turns out that shattering the core and forming the sea is actually so easy!"


    . . . . . .


    Those martial artists who obtained the Sea Expanding Pill were all excited beyond words, shouting crazily.


    Among these people, there were many martial artists who were stuck at Peak Crystal Formation Realm for many years. Their potential had already been exhausted, and there was simply no hopes of breaking through.


    But the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan refined could naturally transform something rotten into something magical. Helping them breakthrough a puny little Sea Transformation Realm was still not an issue.


    When those martial artists who had yet to get the medicinal pills saw this scene, they could not help exchanging glances.


    The expression on their faces changed from the initial disdain to looks of anticipation.

 604 Special Training

    "Lord Shangguan, what in the world happened over at Crimsonlight City? The nearby essence energies are gathering over there unceasingly. Seems like there is somebody breaking through cultivation realm. But such a colossal essence energy undulation, it''s probably impossible for a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse''s breakthrough, right?"


    The abnormal activity in the city alarmed the Fierce Gale World central army''s main tent very quickly.


    And a subordinate just reported that Ye Yuan suddenly flew out of the city just now and directly captured a Fifth Level Soul Sea commander. This made Shangguan Lingyun''s brows furrow even more.


    "This sort of situation should be a lot of people breaking through at the same time! Although I don''t know why, I think . . . it shouldn''t be unrelated to Ye Yuan!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a grave look.


    "What? Such a massive commotion, there are probably hundreds or thousands of people breaking through. What capabilities does he have to actually let so many people broke through at the same time?" Deng Sheng exclaimed in shock.


    "Heh, you are only aware of one aspect but ignorant of others. Not only is Ye Yuan''s Martial Path extremely strong, but his alchemy abilities are also unparalleled! He is Sovereign Star Abyss''s accomplished disciple. Furthermore, looking from all kinds of signs, Ye Yuan''s alchemy level is probably even above Sovereign Star Abyss''s eldest disciple, Shi Haoran!" Shangguan Lingyun said.


    "How is that possible? Shi Haoran is an Alchemy King expert!" Deng Sheng said in amazement.


    "Huhu, Ye Yuan is just Sea Transformation Realm, and even you aren''t his match. What''s strange about him surpassing Alchemy Kings in alchemy?" Shangguan Lingyun seemed to already be unfazed by the unusual regarding Ye Yuan''s monstrousness.


    Deng Sheng was stunned and wanted to find some words to refute. But he could not find any reasonable rebuttal after thinking for a long time too.


    Clearly, this sort of explanation did not make sense. But just why could he not find a reason to rebut?


    Shangguan Lingyun''s aura suddenly became fierce and sharp as he said coldly, "Ye Yuan''s growth is too quick. If this continues, he will surely be our Fierce Gale World''s mortal malady! Looks like . . . the war has no choice but to escalate now. When will Lord Yunrong reach?"


    Deng Sheng''s expression was slightly apprehensive, immediately understanding Shangguan Lingyun''s meaning.


    Once Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses got involved, the war would be much more miserable.


    "The preparation over there is already almost done. Lord Yunrong will reach the latest half a month later!" Deng Sheng said.


    But Shangguan Lingyun frowned slightly and said, "You go and send a message to Lord Yunrong again. Make him be sure to reach within ten days! Besieging Crimsonlight City was originally a guaranteed success. The only variable now is Ye Yuan!"


    Deng Sheng''s expression changed, and he bowed and said, "I obey your command!"


    . . . . . .


    There were people breaking through non-stop in the practicing field. Very soon, the place was overcrowded.


    Those who had yet to consume the medicinal pills could only withdraw to one side and quietly await the others to break through.


    Martial artists require a certain area when breaking through. Who knew what would happen if they broke through together?


    Very soon, a large batch of Sea Transformation Realm experts was born from these martial artists.


    And those Sea Transformation Realm martial artists also had a large batch that broke through their original levels.


    All in all, these martial artists'' strength collectively went up a level.


    Chu Shi rubbed his hands and came before Ye Yuan, looking like a girl being bashful as he said, "That . . . Mister Ye, although Old Chu, I, offend you earlier, I''ve also turned over a new leaf now. Can I . . ."


    Looking at those Sea Transformation Realm experts, Crystal Formation Realm experts broke through one after another, Chu Shi was very envious.


    It was just that earlier, they, these Soul Sea Realm martial artists, shouted the most ferociously. Chu Shi thought that Ye Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for them, so he did not take out medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan gave him a look and said smilingly, "Can''t!"


    Chu Shi''s expression changed, and he was just about to speak but heard Ye Yuan continue, "Because I''m unable to refine Tier 4 medicinal pills right now. Sorry."


    Chu Shi could not help being stunned as he said, "You''re saying that . . . these medicinal pills were all refined by you alone?"


    "Otherwise, what do you think?" Ye Yuan replied with a question.


    Chu Shi''s eyes became round balls. He looked at Ye Yuan as he said speechlessly, "There are tens of thousands of medicinal pills. Even for a powerful alchemist, to refine all of it would probably need around a year''s time as well, right? Could it be that you already predicted today''s situation one year ago?"


    Ordinary alchemist''s exhaustion when refining pills were tremendous. To be able to refine dozens to a hundred pills a day was already incredible.


    But Ye Yuan could refine medicinal pills in large quantities by borrowing the Square Cauldron. The efficiency was ten times, even a hundred times of ordinary alchemists!


    So the way Chu Shi saw this, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to refine so many medicinal pills within a few days.


    Furthermore, these medicinal pills were not average with one look. It needed even more time to polish.


    Then there was only one explanation. Ye Yuan was a prophet. That was why he started preparing these medicinal pills a year ago.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and could not be bothered to explain either. If he explained, they might not believe either.


    Except, his disdain in Chu Shi''s perspective became all the more unfathomable.


    . . . . . .


    The process of martial artists breaking through lasted for around an entire day''s time.


    Virtually everybody all rose a level. The impact of this change on people''s senses was immense.


    These two days, Su Hu was completely astounded by this ''Mister Ye'' who popped out from who knows where.


    He finally knew why the alliance sent such a youth over to assist Crimsonlight City.


    These medicinal pills that Ye Yuan brought over were virtually equivalent to bringing a powerful martial artist great army here!


    This sort of transformation was not just in terms of strength, but it was more on confidence!


    Originally, these martial artists'' fear towards the Fierce Gale World was already deep to the marrow. But now, in pace with the breakthroughs in cultivation realms, their self-confidence picked up anew.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the martial artists on the practicing field and said coolly, "Now, do you all have confidence in having a battle with the Fierce Gale World great army outside?"


    "Yes!"


    "Of course we have!"


    "Screw them to death! Take revenge for those dead companions!"


    . . . . . .


    When people''s confidence swelled up sometimes, they would not know which direction it was.


    Especially those martial artists who broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm. They all felt that they were almost becoming an invincible state.


    Of course, if one person broke through, it was absolutely incapable of giving them such great confidence.


    But several tens of thousands of people breaking through at once would let this sort of confidence swell to a terrifying extent.


    Ye Yuan raised his hand to motion to everyone to be quiet. The people below instantly quietened down.


    Martial power deterrence plus gifting medicinal pills. Ye Yuan had already become these people''s spiritual leader unknowingly.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the audience below the stage and said in a cold voice, "With your current states, wanting to battle the great army outside is still a long way off! Therefore, in order to let your combat strength become even stronger, I''ve specially set up a grand array. Now . . . enjoy this grand array''s special training to your heart''s content!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly brought out the Profound Water Flag. A colossal light veil enveloped the entire practicing field!


    "En? What happened? Where are the others?" Chu Shi frowned and said.


    There were only two Soul Sea Realm martial artists left by his side. The other people on the practicing field vanished instantly as if the three of them were isolated the others.


    "Ouch! Who hit me?" Chu Shi was kicked brutally by somebody from behind.

 605 Leave Your Back to Us

    Very soon, wails sounded out everywhere in the grand array.


    This was the Tier 4 grand array that Ye Yuan relied on the power of the Profound Water Flag and spent three day''s time to set up: the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation!


    Hearing wailing sounds coming out from the array formation every now and then, the flesh on Su Hu''s face convulsed.


    "Mister Ye, this . . . something bad won''t happen, right?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The biggest problem with our Endless World''s martial artists is that they are too undisciplined and carefree and are totally incapable of joining forces. The greatest use of this array formation is to train their teamwork ability. Wanting to let them comprehend all sorts of grand arrays within a short time, that is impossible. Furthermore, with their temperament, it''s also not possible to accomplish that. The function of this Asura Tri-Pronged Formation is to let them form into a unit for every three people, forming exceptionally powerful combat strength within a small radius. As long as they can complete the training, their combat power will have a qualitative increase!"


    Su Hu''s gaze could not help looking over towards the grand array, only to see those martial artists in a disorderly mess. Where was there any consciousness of teamwork?


    In the grand array, they were all fighting their own battles and were beaten by their opponents until they did not have the slightest bit of strength to retaliate.


    Seeing this sort of situation, Su Hu could not help shaking his head.


    "What Mister Ye said is correct. The reason why the Fierce Gale World martial artists are powerful is that they are of one heart and mind. While the martial artists on our side, each time they encounter a large-scale battle, they would basically throw away their helmets and armor instantly. It''s just that . . . I fear that time is too short. They simply can''t complete this training!" Su Hu said.


    "Relax. Human potential is limitless. According to the intensity of the training, I designed for them, these people will comprehend out some things eventually. But just as you said, our time isn''t much. At most ten days, we must break out of the encirclement." Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that the one leading the Fierce Gale World great army this time was actually Shangguan Lingyun this person.


    His contact with Shangguan Lingyun was not much, but he specially found Xiao Ruyan to understand this person before.


    Compared to Zhao Chenggan, this Shangguan Lingyun was more level-headed and intelligent; very hard to deal with.


    Furthermore, looking at the situation of both parties'' probing that day, this person''s strength was likely not beneath his own.


    If really matched up, the outcome was really hard to say.


    "Alright, time is pressing. I have to make the best use of time to cultivate as well, to strive to break through to the Ninth Level Sea Transformation within ten days!" Ye Yuan said.


    Su Hu could not help choking up when he heard that. Breaking through to Ninth Level Sea Transformation within ten days. Such words, only this one in front of him dared to say so, right?


    Thinking back, when he broke through from the Eighth Level Sea Transformation to Ninth Level Sea Transformation, he used a full five years!


    . . . . . .


    "Ouch! Kicked my butt again! F*cking hell! Your Father will fight it out with you!"


    "Old Zhu, don''t be a hindrance! Scram to one side for me! If you continue to give trouble, I''ll beat you together!"


    "Also you, Old Qian, grow some eyes. That sword of yours earlier almost cut me. If there''s a next time, you''re dead for sure!"


    In the grand array, Chu Shi was like a mad dog; whoever he caught, he would have a go crazily.


    Trapped in the grand array together with him, one was called Zhu Changzhi, the other was called Qian Si. They happened to know each other beforehand.


    Actually, Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si''s strength were evenly matched with Chu Shi. He was also just getting an upper-hand verbally. If they really had internal strife, the one getting beaten could only be him.


    Most importantly, those martial artists materialized by the grand array already kicked his butt quite a few times. Each time, they kicked him until he face-planted, cutting a sorry figure.


    Chu Shi''s temper was not good to begin with. At this time, he was even more pent-up with anger.


    "Old Chu, don''t be foul-mouthed! Although these people are formed by the grand array, each of their strength is very formidable. We''re simply not their match! If this continues, we''ll be played to death!" Zhu Changzhi said.


    "Bah! Just an array formation that brat set up wants to play Your Father to death? Your Father doesn''t believe this shit! Those few people are also roughly the same as our strength. It''s just that their numbers are a little more than us. I don''t believe that I can''t bring them down!" Chu Shi refused to give in.


    Very clearly, he was very displeased with this grand array Ye Yuan set up.


    Of course, what he was most displeased with was that these illusionary martial artists kept on chasing his butt and kicking.


    Too humiliating!


    On the first day, Chu Shi was the same as everyone trapped within the array formation, being kicked leg after leg by those illusionary martial artists; life was very miserable.


    But this grand array could not keep operating all the way. Whenever their essence energy were roughly depleted, those martial artists would automatically disappear for some time.


    After waiting for their essence energy to recover to a certain extent, those martial artists would automatically appear again.


    The second day passed very quickly. The martial artists in the array formations were still exhausted from dealing with it and could not find a way to defeat those illusionary martial artists at all.


    But they discovered one thing. The attacks of those martial artists on the second day were much more ferocious compared to the first day. Many martial artists all suffered differing degrees of injuries.


    The third day, Liu Hong''s voice suddenly transmitted into the grand array, saying, "Brother Ye said that the power of the grand array will get stronger day by day. If you guys are still fighting by your own separate battles today . . . there will be deaths!"


    Finished talking, the voice cut off abruptly.


    Everybody all shuddered. ''There will be deaths,'' these four words were like a heavy hammer smashing onto their chest, making them feel out of breath.


    Chu Shi''s expression was very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "I feel like that boy isn''t scaring us. If we continue like this, there might really be people dying!"


    Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si both felt that way strongly too and nodded their heads.


    "Old Zhu, Old Qin, I, this person, hate to work together with others the most. But at this time, it''s not up to us either!" Chu Shi said.


    "Heh, you think that Your Father is willing to cooperate with trash like you? But for the sake of living, we might have to cooperate for once," Zhu Changzhi said.


    "I have no objections." Qian Si''s character was clearly very unsociable and was also unwilling to cooperate with others.


    Indeed, when the grand array activated, everyone''s pressure increased suddenly. Those illusionary martial artists'' offensive power suddenly rose a level.


    Even though there was Liu Hong''s warning, to really want to achieve good teamwork, how could it be that easy?


    "Old Zhu, careful behind!"


    "Old Qian, flank!"


    "F*ck! You guys revealed my back to the outside!" Chu Shi suddenly flew out with a miserable cry.


    "Be careful!"


    Qian Si flew with his sword, resolving that illusionary martial artist''s lethal blow.


    Chu Shi sweated profusely, struggling up with a grunt to continue fighting.


    "Old Qian, I owe you a favor!" Chu Shi yelled.


    "You die, we won''t survive either!" Qian Si was precise and to the point.


    "These illusionary martial artists'' cooperation is too exquisite. This is not the way to go on. Our teamwork must be stronger than theirs to be able to beat them!" Chu Shi said.


    "Heh heh, looks like you aren''t too dumb. Finally made out some trick to it. I, Zhu Changzhi, don''t believe that the three of us living people can''t even compare to a couple of illusionary martial artists! Old Chu, Old Qian, starting from now, my back will be left to you guys!'' Zhu Changzhi said.

 606 Chu Shi Trio

    Ye Yuan was not joking with them.


    On the third day, the casualties neared three thousand people!


    This number was rather high!


    And this figure, Liu Hong did not hide it either, telling everybody through the grand array.


    The array formation already ceased operating at this time. Chu Shi three people''s expressions were never-before solemn.


    "According to what that brat says, the difficulty of the fourth day will be greater than today! Barring no accidents, tomorrow''s casualties will probably be even higher!" Chu Shi said gravely.


    Zhu Changzhi said in agreement, "That''s inevitable! This boy is truly detestable. We haven''t died at the hands of the Fierce Gale World martial artists yet, but are actually going to die in his hands first! If I can go out of this grand array, I''ll definitely put him on the spot!"


    Chu Shi said with a cold smile, "Keep bragging, you! That boy can set up such a formidable Tier 4 grand array with Sea Transformation Realm cultivation. Can you be his match? Could it be that you forgot how that commander died?"


    When Zhu Changzhi heard that, he could not help shuddering.


    Even if they did not borrow the power of the grand array, they could not possibly be Ye Yuan''s match either.


    That Fierce Gale World commander simply did not have leeway to resist at all in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Their strength was at best the same as that commander too. If they really fought, they were probably still not that commander''s match.


    What the outcome of challenging Ye Yuan was, there was already no need to say.


    "There are so many of us. I don''t believe that he dares to kill off all of us!" Zhu Changzhi said threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky.


    Chu Shi rolled his eyes and was disinclined to bother with this fellow.


    And right then, the Qian Si who had been silent the entire time suddenly opened his mouth, "Could it be that you guys didn''t notice that our three people''s combat power as a whole has been gradually increasing?"


    Chu Shi and Zhu Changzhi exchanged a glance and could not help being startled inwardly.


    It really seemed to be like this!


    Two days ago, they each fought their own battles separately and were basically all brutally wrecked by the illusionary martial artists. There was simply no leeway to retaliate.


    All the way until this morning, they would still be completely walloped.


    But later, after they put down their so-called dignity and joined hands to face the enemy, they seemed to have gradually adapted to battles like this.


    Even though they were still brutally pummeled constantly, when it reached night time, they had already gradually regained some of the declining trends.


    This undoubtedly indicated that Chu Shi, the three of their combat power was gradually rising!


    This discovery gave the three of them a big surprise.


    "Turns out that that boy set up this grand array for the sake of increasing our teamwork ability!" Chu Shi was suddenly enlightened.


    "Our strength did not increase much, but the three of us teaming up, the overall strength rose considerably!" Zhu Changzhi said.


    "Continue tomorrow!" Qian Si said it simply.


    . . . . . .


    Very soon, the fourth day''s training had begun.


    The difficulty of the fourth day clearly had an increase compared to the first three days!


    However, Chu Shi trio had already gradually touched upon some knack to it.


    Without any doubt, the adaptive ability of humans was very powerful.


    Those illusionary martial artists'' teamwork was quite ingenious. Chu Shi, the three of them, learned many things from that teamwork in countless times of battle.


    Such high-intensity battles, they had already gradually turned these things they learned into their ability.


    Just as they said, once the three of them found the feeling of this sort of cooperation, their changes compared to those illusionary martial artists were much more.


    Reaching nightfall, these three people actually already gradually overpowered those illusionary martial artists!


    From day one until they, the opponents the three of them faced had always been five.


    From the brutal pummeling in the beginning until now, they had already gradually gained the upper-hand!


    "Old Chu! Old Qian!" Zhu Changzhi roared loudly.


    "Understood!" Zhu Changzhi did not say what to do, but Chu Shi understood the other party''s intentions instantly.


    At this time, Zhu Changzhi tied down three illusionary martial artists alone and was already surrounded by perils.


    Chu Shi and Qian Si seemed to know what the other party was thinking, sweeping aside their opponents with a sword, and directly headed for the center person Zhu Changzhi was battling.


    Right at this time, Zhu Changzhi''s attack also followed after and arrived!


    Under the three people''s pincer attack, that illusionary martial artist was instantly penetrated through!


    Right then, those two illusionary martial artists that were pushed aside previously rushed here anew. Chu Shi and Qian Si exchanged positions bizarrely, but left the empty space for Zhu Changzhi!


    One of the illusionary martial artists was pierced through by Zhu Changzhi again!


    Just like this, the three of their cooperation became increasingly proficient and finished off all of the illusionary martial artists very quickly.


    The three people threw their swords aside and sat on the ground exhaustedly.


    "Really freaking tired! We killed all five illusionary martial artists. Can''t go out yet?" Chu Shi said unhappily.


    "Heh heh, really exciting! I truly didn''t expect that turns out the three of us cooperating together will actually have such strength!" Zhu Changzhi said rather excitedly.


    Chu Shi rolled his eyes and could not help uttering his innermost feelings, "Old Zhu, don''t be mistaken. In this grand array, Your Father is only cooperating with you for the sake of living. After we leave, you take the open road, and I''ll walk my single log bridge!"


    "Tch, who wants to work together with you?" Zhu Changzhi said unhappily.


    "If you guys want to die, you can tell him that after going out," Qian Si interjected untimely.


    When these words came out, Chu Shi and Zhu Changzhi immediately became mute.


    Ye Yuan setting up this array formation was in order to train their teamwork ability.


    If they did not follow Ye Yuan''s intentions after leaving, the outcome could be imagined.


    . . . . . .


    The fourth day''s casualties were even higher than the third day''s! It reached a horrifying five thousand people!


    And Chu Shi, their team, was the first group to finish killing the illusionary martial artists.


    Starting from the fifth day, Chu Shi they all had an impulse to curse and swear.


    Because this training did not end at all but added another two illusionary martial artists again!


    This way, the illusionary martial artists count became seven people!


    "What the hell? Is this boy messing with us? Dealing with five is already awful. How can seven possibly be killed?" Chu Shi grumbled.


    "Don''t talk rubbish. He''s playing with you. What can you do?" Zhu Changzhi said.


    "I''m unhappy in my heart and venting a little; can''t I? Be careful!"


    The increase in illusionary martial artists count brought Chu Shi trio considerable trouble.


    But right now, Chu Shi trio''s strength was already no longer what it was before. Although they were straining, the three people made it through the fifth day by relying on incomparably ingenious cooperation.


    When it reached the sixth day''s noon, Chu Shi trio finally killed the seven illusionary martial artists and succeeded in clearing the round once more.


    But it still did not end. After resting for several hours, nine illusionary martial artists appeared!


    Except that this time, Chu Shi trio finished off these nine illusionary martial artists that very day!


    When it reached the seventh day, Ye Yuan finally exited seclusion!


    When he appeared in everyone''s sights once more, he was already Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation!


    When he saw the Chu Shi trio in the array formation, he could not help being surprised.


    These three people could actually deal with eleven illusionary martial artists already.

 607 All the Way North

    Starting from the fifth day, a substantial decline in casualty rate suddenly appeared in the grand array.


    When it reached the tenth day, the martial artists'' casualty count was merely just several hundred people.


    Which was also to say that the vast majority of the people already adapted to this sort of battles.


    But to most people, they could only clear the earlier hurdles. Three people facing five should not be too much of a problem.


    For a small number of elites like Chu Shi trio, their improvement was very evident.


    When it reached the tenth day, Chu Shi trio could already deal with nineteen illusionary martial artists and not be defeated.


    This sort of improvement speed made Ye Yuan quite surprised too.


    On the tenth day, Ye Yuan finally removed the grand array. Each and every one of those martial artists felt like being relieved of a heavy burden, all having a feeling of seeing the light of day once more.


    This ten days'' time was simply even more arduous than ten years.


    The majority of them were all itinerant cultivators. When had they experienced such perverse training before?


    Ten day''s time, the martial artists lost neared ten thousand people.


    But coming out of the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation, these martial artists'' aura underwent an earthshaking change.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked at everyone glitteringly and said coldly, "I know that many among you people all feel that I''m very cruel. But when we break out of the encirclement, you''ll know how merciful I am. I don''t wish to say superfluous words. The break out operation officially begins today at 11am. At that time, you''ll feel just how worthwhile this training was. Now, you all have a rest on the spot and recover essence energy."


    . . . . . .


    "Kill!"


    Earth-shaking war cries suddenly sounded. Tens of thousands of martial artists poured out from Crimsonlight City''s northern gate.


    However, the Fierce Gale World great army was not as disorderly as imagined. They actually carried out defense in an orderly manner!


    "Not good! We''ve fallen into the Fierce Gale World great army''s encirclement!"


    "Ah! They''ve long been prepared! We''re screwed now!"


    "F*ck me! Isn''t this delivering the sheep to the tiger''s maws? We were all tricked by that brat!"


    Under Ye Yuan''s order, the martial artists in Crimsonlight City all thought that they could catch the Fierce Gale World great army unprepared.


    Who could have thought that the Fierce Gale World great army seemed to have been long prepared and surrounded these tens of thousands of people very quickly.


    This sort of situation exceeded these martial artists'' expectations too much. They all felt that they were duped by Ye Yuan this brat and started cursing one by one.


    Very soon, both side''s great army fought in close quarters. The Fierce Gale World martial artists took the initiative very quickly.


    Their combat strength was very strong. Adding in the advantage in numbers, it made the Endless World martial artists feel despair very quickly.


    In the central army''s main tent, Deng Sheng said with a loud laugh, "Lord Shangguan is brilliant and knew that they will surely break out of the encirclement these two days! With this, Crimsonlight City''s these cowards finally can''t avoid our blades!"


    Shangguan Lingyun said smilingly, "With Ye Yuan''s intelligence, he absolutely would not resign himself to death in the city. Lord Yunrong will reach here latest by these two days. If they didn''t break out, they wouldn''t have the chance anymore."


    "Heh heh, with our strength, as long as these people exit the city, it will be equivalent to being fish on the chopping board. All free for us to slice up. Ye Yuan that brat thinks himself to be smart. In the end, isn''t he still Lord Shangguan''s vanquished opponent?" Deng Sheng said with a wave of delight.


    "Huhu, don''t be happy so early. Ye Yuan''s strength is very formidable. In our great army, probably only I can deal with him. The other martial artists will be left to you. Once Ye Yuan takes action, I''ll intercept him. As long as Lord Yunrong arrives, he''s dead for sure!" Shangguan Lingyun said.


    Shangguan Lingyun did not have plans to clash head-on with Ye Yuan. What he wanted to do was to delay the time and wait for Shangguan Yunrong to reach.


    . . . . . .


    Although inside the array formation these Endless World martial artists had already gone through high-intensity training, when truly facing the Fierce Gale World martial artists, each of their hearts still pounded.


    After all, people were different from illusionary martial artists. Humans had their own thoughts and feelings and were totally different from training.


    Very soon, the Fierce Gale World great army occupied the absolute initiative, cutting up the Endless World martial artists into a disorderly mess.


    "Haha! You fools! You actually walked into a trap!"


    "Just your bit of strength is only fit to be cowards!"


    "Go and die with your minds at ease. Want to blame, then blame that brat called Ye Yuan. It was him who pushed you guys into the fire pit!"


    The Fierce Gale World martial artists occupied the absolute initiative. Their strength was very formidable.


    Under the confusion, the Endless World martial artists were in complete disarray very soon.


    However, the grand array''s training still had some effect after all.


    Through ten days of high-intensity training, these people already produced a feeling called fetters towards each other.


    No matter how ferocious the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' attacks were, three people small groups still maintained from start to end.


    Even elites like the Chu Shi trio were also helter-skelter in the beginning.


    But after experiencing the initial-most flurry, Chu Shi finally recovered to his senses.


    "Old Zhu, Old Qian, are you all dreaming? Did you guys forget how we trained in the grand array?" Chu Shi roared.


    "Old Chu, you shut your mouth for Your Father! What Your Father does, do I still need you to teach?" Zhu Changzhi said.


    "So much crap! Kill!" Qian Si was concise and to the point.


    Chu Shi, the three of them, their performances in the grand array training were the most outstanding. This trio''s strength was actually very terrifying already.


    When the three of them became serious, they discovered very quickly that the surrounding Fierce Gale World martial artists became unable to withstand a single hit!


    Through ten days of training, the three of them already did not need words to communicate at all.


    Even in the night, they could also feel their partner''s intent through each other''s aura.


    "Kill!"


    Chu Shi gave a roar and directly cleaved the two middle-stage Soul Sea experts by his side.


    All of a sudden, Chu Shi trio discovered that those originally incomparably powerful Fierce Gale World martial artists became unbelievably fragile at this time.


    Chu Shi trio took the lead, charging over like cutting melons and cabbages along the way.


    And their actions also let the other teams produce a resonance.


    Just like this, Chu Shi trio was like sparks of fire, instantly lighting up the entire battlefield!


    Endless World''s side, every three people formed a small team. Their combat strength suddenly skyrocketed.


    "Hahaha! Your Father still thought how powerful you trash were! Turns out that you collapse at the first blow like so!" Chu Shi laughed wildly.


    Zhu Changzhi chopped a Soul Sea Realm expert and said liberatingly, "F*cking hell, Your Father has been oppressed for so long and can finally kill to my heart''s content! You bastards killed how many of our companions? Today, I''m going to take revenge for them!"


    Qian Si was silent without words, but his hands were not slow in the slightest, directly cleaving two Soul Sea Realm martial artists.


    "Brothers, kill! Mister Ye said, all the way north! Don''t turn back! We''ll kill all the way over!" Chu Shi mustered up essence energy, his voice resounding throughout the entire battlefield.


    The originally densely packed encirclement forcefully had a massive opening hewed out.

 608 Floating Light Blood Shadow Array

    At this time, the inside of the Fierce Gale World central army''s main tent was shrouded by a ball of blood-red light.


    Shangguan Lingyun looked at the small flask suspending quietly. A hint of a strange smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    "Kill then, kill. The more freely you all kill, the faster my cultivation improves! Hahaha!"


    Shangguan Lingyun''s face had a crazed look. How was there any hint of the calm bearing previously?


    In the central army''s main tent, array formations revolved around. Massive amounts of sanguine aura were sucked over frenziedly by the grand array and poured into the small flask.


    In the grand array, Shangguan Lingyun greedily absorbed the sanguine qi spilling outside. His cultivation was increasing with speed visible to the naked eye.


    "Hahaha! This Blood Carnage Demonic Art is indeed formidable. Continue cultivating at this speed, at most two months, and I will be able to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm! With this Blood Carnage Demonic Art, even ascending to the Divine Realm is close at hand!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a wild laugh.


    Rumble!


    Shangguan Lingyun''s aura skyrocketed abruptly and actually broke through the Eighth Level Soul Sea threshold directly under the colossal sanguine qi.


    "Congratulations to Lord Shangguan for breaking through to the Eighth Level Soul Sea!" at a corner of the main tent, Deng Sheng said with an envious look.


    Shangguan Lingyun opened both eyes and recovered to that sort of calm look before. It was just that a hint of blood-red color was at the recesses of his eyes, but it made him appear somewhat surly.


    "En. How''s the battle situation outside?" Shangguan Lingyun inquired.


    But Deng Sheng said with an embarrassed look, "Not very good!"


    "En? What''s wrong?" Shangguan Lingyun said rather unhappily.


    The Fierce Gale World great army''s numbers were ten times the number of martial artists in Crimsonlight City. Logically speaking, the fighting should have already pretty much ended. But Deng Sheng told him that it was not very good. This naturally made Deng Sheng very displeased.


    Deng Sheng hurriedly said when he saw the situation, "Lord Shangguan, please calm your anger. These Crimsonlight City martial artists, I don''t know why, but their combat strength suddenly soared greatly. Our great army simply can''t gain any bit of advantage within a small radius. If not for our numbers being massive, they would probably already have successfully broken out of the encirclement at this time!"


    Shangguan Lingyun''s brows furrowed slightly. He pondered for a while and said, "Seems like . . . this is related to Ye Yuan! This fellow is really troublesome. This time, we must finish him off! Or else, there will be no end of trouble for the future! When will Lord Yunrong reach?"


    "Looking at the news given from there, Lord Yunrong can make it latest by today!" Deng Sheng said.


    Shangguan Lingyun nodded and said, "I''ll go and tie down Ye Yuan. As long as Lord Yunrong arrives, there will naturally be him to take care of Ye Yuan."


    Deng Sheng said in surprise, "Lord Shangguan already broke through to Eighth Level Soul Sea. Could it be that you still can''t deal with that brat?"


    Shangguan Lingyun shook his head and said, "I cannot be certain! Ye Yuan''s might virtually disregards the disparity of levels. I only broke through one minor boundary. To him, it''s practically dispensable. Unless I can break through to the Divine Traversing Realm, only then, will there be sufficient assurance to kill him."


    Deng Sheng was taken aback with shock. A minor realm in the Soul Sea Realm, but the disparity was still huge. The difficulty of leaping realms to battle was very great.


    Shangguan Lingyun broke through to the Eighth Level Soul Sea and actually even said that he did not have certainty in being able to deal with Ye Yuan!


    Rumble!


    The two people were just speaking when a powerful attack arrived with a howl.


    Shangguan Lingyun''s expression changed. Waving his hand, a blow struck back too.


    Two powerful attacks collided, instantly shredding the central army''s main tent into ribbons.


    The sanguine light in the big tent could no longer be hidden and was exposed.


    But Shangguan Lingyun had long vacated all the nearby personnel. The Fierce Gale World great army was currently obstructing and intercepting the Crimsonlight City martial artists right now. There would not be anybody paying attention to here either.


    A figure stood in the air. Who could it be but Ye Yuan?


    Seeing that blood-colored grand array, Ye Yuan''s brows involuntarily knitted together.


    "You all launched this war and would massacre all the residents of the city every time you reached a city. Turns out that it''s actually for the sake of this Floating Light Blood Shadow Array!" Ye Yuan''s words exuded thick killing intent in them.


    This Floating Light Blood Shadow Array was a very wicked grand array. It was an array formation specially for the sake of collecting and refining sanguine qi.


    And to absorb sanguine qi, it must be accompanied by a bloody massacre.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that the Fierce Gale World launching the war was actually for the sake of collecting sanguine qi.


    What on earth were they trying to do?


    Being unmasked by Ye Yuan, Shangguan Lingyun did not have the slightest hint of panic and said with a smile, "Never thought that you actually even know about Floating Light Blood Shadow Array. You truly surprised me."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, "Looks like you were making use of these sanguine qi to cultivate earlier. I was still thinking about how can you possibly break through a major boundary within a year. So, it''s this reason. Really didn''t expect that a genius like you will also actually abandon yourself to vice."


    Shangguan Lingyun had just broken through not long ago. The sanguine qi on his body had yet to dissipate completely. Ye Yuan saw through that he was utilizing the sanguine qi to cultivate with one glance.


    Shangguan Lingyun suddenly gave a self-mocking laugh and said, "Genius? You using this term to evaluate others, why does it sound very sarcastic even when listening to it? In front of you, who dares to claim to be a genius? Ever since you wasted Zhao Chenggan, I knew that you were a great mountain that I have no way of surpassing in this life!"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer, "So you wallowed in degeneration and cultivated this sort of demonic path cultivation method? Do you know that even though demonic path cultivation methods advance quickly, likewise, the hidden dangers are also very great!"


    "So what? As long as I can defeat you and Zhao Chenggan, however much I have to pay, I''m willing too do so!" Shangguan Lingyun said coldly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Looks like you''re already hopeless! You guys actually did not scruple in launching a realm war in order to collect this sanguine qi and let your own people come to the Endless World to send themselves to death. Just what is it for?"


    Shangguan Lingyun suddenly said with an evil smile, "If you want to know, you can go and ask the Wind Emperor, His Majesty, personally."


    Ye Yuan stared at Shangguan Lingyun for a long time before saying, "Looks like you''re just a dog under Zhao Tianyin too; you don''t know anything at all. Rest assure, I''ll go and ask him personally."


    Shangguan Lingyun''s air became cold as he said in a deep voice, "You''re courting death!"


    As he spoke, Shangguan Lingyun hurled a punch towards Ye Yuan.


    This punch carried extremely intense sanguine qi. Forget about ordinary martial artists receiving this punch, just this sanguine qi was also plenty more than they could bear.


    But Ye Yuan refined the blood of a true dragon in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. That was an extreme yang and indomitable tyrannical bloodline under this sky. It restrained this sanguine qi the most.


    Although this attack was powerful, it did not pose much of a threat to Ye Yuan.


    A Flame Movement Carnage rushed over, directly dissipating this fist intent.


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, directly returning a punch.


    Except that this punch was not targeting Shangguan Lingyun; it targeted that Floating Light Blood Shadow Array.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that Shangguan Lingyun did not have the intention of saving the array formation. He let Ye Yuan''s Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage rumble over at his discretion.


    Yet, at this time, that gray-black small flash suddenly surged with a blood-colored glow. A blood dragon flew out of the small flask''s opening and directly devoured Ye Yuan''s Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression darkened.

 609 Dawn

    &lt;p&gt;"It''s useless. Once the Floating Light Blood Shadow Array activates, it''s impossible to stop without absorbing enough sanguine qi. With your strength, you simply can''t crack this array formation," Shangguan Lingyun said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Looks like this Floating Light Blood Shadow Array wasn''t set up by you, but it is an array formation built into this small flask," Ye Yuan suddenly said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You''re too clever. Clever people tend to not live for long." It was the same as Shangguan Lingyun tacitly acknowledging Ye Yuan''s statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"My fate is up to me, not up to Heaven. It naturally is even less up to you," Ye Yuan said coolly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Arrogant! Heavenly Dao is the greatest! Even if you can reach Deity Realm, you''re also unable to surpass the constraints of Heavenly Dao!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Martial artists held Heavenly Dao in the greatest reverence. In front of Heavenly Dao, no matter how formidable the martial artist, they were also just ants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if Shangguan Lingyun were anymore arrogant, he would not dare to comment recklessly about Heavenly Dao either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Ye Yuan was someone who had already died once. He felt that this Heavenly Dao was unjust. If there were a chance in this lifetime, he would definitely surpass the constraints of Heavenly Dao!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan was not angry. He said with a smile, "What does a swallow know of the aims of a swan?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun''s face darkened. Ye Yuan''s words struck his sore spot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though he kept repeatedly saying that he was inferior to Ye Yuan, it did not mean that he really resigned himself to fate. Otherwise, he would not have cultivated this Blood Carnage Demonic Art either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan''s appearance brought a tremendous impact on his life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All along, Shangguan Lingyun felt that he was the most talented!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even with Zhao Chenggan, Shangguan Lingyun could gain a slight edge over him too. But Ye Yuan''s appearance thoroughly shattered his understanding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back then, Ye Yuan beat Zhao Chenggan to such an extent with just a Crystal Formation Realm cultivation. The impact that it brought to Shangguan Lingyun was seriously too intense.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For a very long time after, Shangguan Lingyun lived in Ye Yuan''s shadow, unable to extricate himself, all the way until Zhao Tianyin appeared in front of him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hence, there was this scene today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In front of Ye Yuan, he was indeed only just an insignificant swallow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignoring Ye Yuan''s previous life''s identity, Ye Yuan''s talent in this life had absolutely reached the Divine Realm''s pinnacle standards.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Shangguan Lingyun was merely just a Lower Realms'' top genius; that was all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even if he was stronger, he was still just a tiny little swallow in front of Ye Yuan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Then I''ll take a look and see if you, this swan, are really that powerful!" Shangguan Lingyun gritted his teeth and said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Shaoyang Demonic Palm!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun cried out. A large blood-red handprint smacked over towards Ye Yuan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though Ye Yuan''s dragon blood had restraining effects towards this sort of demonic art, Shangguan Lingyun was a major boundary higher than him after all. For Ye Yuan to want to win with ease, it was naturally something impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The power of this large handprint was incredible. In it carried thick sanguine qi; it was very ferocious.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan''s expression fell slightly. Flame Movement Carnage instantly came out, directly dissipating that large handprint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Go to hell!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun threw palm after palm, clashing a hundred moves with Ye Yuan instantly. Both parties actually came out evenly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By the side, Deng Sheng was dazed watching it. Only now did he know just how powerful Ye Yuan was.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Battling Shangguan Lingyun with strength a major boundary lower and not be at a disadvantageous position in the slightest, such combat strength was too outrageous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking from both party''s battle, Ye Yuan did not seem like a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist at all. He actually resembled a Soul Sea Realm expert instead!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan''s moves were so daunting, but a situation where his essence energy dried up actually did not arise at all for him. This was simply something beyond comprehension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How could a Sea Transformation Realm expert''s essence energy possibly support such powerful martial techniques?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a drawn-out fight, Ye Yuan planned on taking the initiative to gain the upper hand and was the first to use a certain-kill technique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Different from the probing the last time, this time, Ye Yuan brought out true capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He upgraded the dragon wave''s amplitude to Peak Earth Rank level. This was already the limit that Ye Yuan could accomplish with this Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage technique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This move merged together with the Scorching True Intent and the power of dragon wave. Its might was even stronger than the Myriad Rain Sword Blades!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Bloodmoon Wheel!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun was not careless at all either, returning Ye Yuan''s attack with his move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This move was identical on the surface as the previous time when both parties were feeling out. What was different was just that the pure white full moon became blood-red in color.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this was clearly just the difference on the surface. The power of Bloodmoon Wheel was much more powerful compared to Full Moon Slash.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun was worthy of being a genius martial artist. He integrated the sanguine power into his own martial technique, causing his own martial technique to become even more powerful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rumble!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fire dragon and blood moon collided together intensely, causing an immense quake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Puhwark!"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These two people attacked too suddenly. By the side, Deng Sheng was directly shocked flying out by the attacks this time completely unprepared. He directly spewed out a mouthful of blood in the air.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The two people''s battle was daunting to the max!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deng Sheng was a Ninth Level Soul Sea expert. In cultivation realm, he was even higher than Shangguan Lingyun. He actually could not even withstand the aftershocks of their battle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this were a frontal battle, he would have already died until not even dregs were left long ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After one attack, Ye Yuan and Shangguan Lingyun were each blasted flying out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This attack was actually neck and neck!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun put his palm behind him, his expression livid as he looked at Ye Yuan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clash this time looked to be evenly matched, but actually, he still lost by half a move.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This palm of Ye Yuan''s was very bizarre. It actually carried extremely intense vibration, shocking until his palm tingled!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun had intense unwillingness in his heart. He had already gotten such great improvement, and he was actually still not Ye Yuan''s match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could it be that there was no way of surpassing this fellow?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun and said coolly, "You''re indeed very strong. You''re even that tinge stronger than Zhao Chenggan. If you didn''t walk an evil path, you would have a high chance of ascending to the Divine Realm. Repent, and salvation is at hand. You can still make it if you stop now!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It''s too late! Furthermore, I don''t feel that there''s anything wrong with me doing this. I don''t need to you preach!" Shangguan Lingyun said with a cold snort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Then there''s no choice! Depraved heretics, anybody has the right to punish them!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As he said, Ye Yuan condensed essence energy and prepared to execute Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage once again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;. . . . . .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chu Shi trio was at the forefront, akin to a sharp blade thrust into the Fierce Gale World''s great army, sweeping away all resistance along the way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the surrounding Fierce Gale World martial artists were a lot, none could last one exchange at the hands of the three of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though the others were not as strong as Chu Shi trio, through the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation''s training, their combat strength had a tremendous increase too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unless they bumped into martial artists whose cultivation realms were much higher than theirs, otherwise, they likewise smashed all resistance and advanced victoriously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Day was about to break. Over the course of hours of killing, Chu Shi trio suddenly discovered that they could break out of the encirclement not far away ahead!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This discovery made them unbelievably excited. They never would have thought that after that brat''s training, their strength would actually be formidable to such an extent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier, a Seventh Level Soul Sea martial artist was fighting with them. One careless move and he was actually cleaved apart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was what he dare not think at all in the past!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Brothers! Follow me and charge forward! We''re about to succeed in breaking out right away!" Chu Shi shouted at the top of his voice.&lt;/p&gt;

 610 One Man Guarding the Pass!

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pierce!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After Chu Shi stabbed a Fierce Gale World martial artist in front of him, there was suddenly a stretch of brightness before his eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chu Shi knew that he finally charged out of the encirclement!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this instant, his heart was filled with a vicissitude of emotion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That instant when he was trapped in Crimsonlight City, he thought about the alliance sending a great army over to rescue, and also thought of being slaughtered by the Fierce Gale World.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But he did not even dare to think that he could rely on his own strength to carve out a bloody path.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But now, he really did it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recalling that brat who was cussed countless times by him in the open and in secret, thick gratitude was reverberating in his heart at this time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But this was not over yet. He did not have that much time to go and be overwhelmed by emotions. That was the privilege of a victor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now, they were still very far away from victory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He had the strength to kill outside, but it did not mean that the others had the strength to slaughter out too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fighting along the way, it was still unknown how many companions died.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If according to Chu Shi''s personality in the past, he would definitely run away without even turning his head back according to what Ye Yuan said: all the way north, and absolutely do not turn back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But at this time, Chu Shi turned his head back at the behest of supernatural powers and asked Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si, "Brothers, still got strength?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From entering the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation until now, it was but a short ten days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yet, this ten days'' time changed far too much.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although Chu Shi, Zhu Changzhi, and Qian Si, the three people still bickered, their tacit understanding between each other did not even need eyes to communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Heh heh,&lt;/em&gt; Elder Brother, I, haven''t killed to my heart''s fill yet!" Zhu Changzhi snickered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Charge back!" Qian Si said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chu Shi chortled with laughter and yelled out, "Brothers who charged out, let''s kill back in! Brothers who are still alive, we must bring them out without missing one!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Yes!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Let''s kill back in!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;". . . . . ."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indistinctly, Chu Shi trio had already become these martial artists'' leaders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To be able to come out from the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation, these remaining groups were all not weak.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Chu Shi trio was even the outstanding ones among these. Towards their three people group, the others felt a greater sense of identity and belongingness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Su Hu was currently facing off against a Ninth Level Soul Sea commander. Seeing this scene, he could not help being surprised inwardly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In his impression, these itinerant cultivators were all self-centered, stubborn, and unruly people. Today, they actually did something like that. It seriously made people surprised.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Su Hu''s notion was not that much. One able to escape was one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chu Shi trio had clearly already charged out and actually still thought about returning to save the others. Such behavior was too incomprehensible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But no matter what, Chu Shi''s actions still lessened the pressure on his shoulders considerably.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;. . . . . .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Rumble!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage of Ye Yuan''s rumbled over. But Shangguan Lingyun did not receive the move at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The materialized colossal red dragon chased after Shangguan Lingyun and finally exhausted its essence energy, vanishing into nothingness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the situation where both parties'' strength were around the same, it was actually very hard to kill the other party.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How could Ye Yuan not tell yet that Shangguan Lingyun was simply buying time?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why was he dragging the time, Ye Yuan did not need to guess at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse was about to reach soon!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Figuring out this link, Ye Yuan immediately ceased attacking and looked at Shangguan Lingyun with narrowed eyes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Huhu,&lt;/em&gt; why did you stop? This move of yours is very bizarre. It actually carries a violent vibration. With my current strength, I actually can''t quite withstand it!" Shangguan Lingyun said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Stop acting. Want to buy time, is it? Do you think that I''ll give you the chance?" Ye Yuan said coolly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So what if yes? Not giving me the chance? I admit that I''m not your match, but for you to want to kill me, it probably isn''t something that easy as well, right?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan did not speak; he fell silent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun knew that Ye Yuan was pondering countermeasures. He folded his arms and looked at Ye Yuan quietly and was not in a rush either.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any scheme was too weak to stand in front of absolute strength.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As long as he could drag until Shangguan Yunrong arrived, Ye Yuan was dead for sure!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the others ran, then they ran. They had no influence on the overall situation at all. But this time, Ye Yuan must die!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was Shangguan Lingyun''s opinion!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan''s potential was too terrifying. No need to wait until the future. He already became a terrifying opponent for the Fierce Gale World now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Originally, the Endless World martial artists trapped in the city were already bound for death. Who knew that Ye Yuan only came for ten days and made these people''s strength rise to a terrifying degree, forcefully carving out a bloody road.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan''s own might was already sufficiently terrifying. What was even scarier was that he could make all the Endless World martial artists become powerful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like this, the Fierce Gale World''s advantage would become non-existent!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Such an opponent, they had to eradicate him at all costs!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his head slightly, his eyes emitting rays of brilliance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun knew that Ye Yuan definitely had a plan already!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Huhu,&lt;/em&gt; thought of a countermeasure? It''s useless! I just have to cope with shifting events by sticking to a fundamental policy! You can''t run!" Shangguan Lingyun said brimming with confidence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "Is that so? I''ll come and take care of you again later!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As he said, Ye Yuan suddenly turned back and turned into a stream of light, charging into the battlefield.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the battlefield with thousands of soldiers and horses, this attack struck too unexpectedly. Those Fierce Gale World martial artists were caught off guard and immediately sustained heavy casualties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a blink of an eye, corpses filled the land!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan was not a bloodthirsty person. But at this stage, he could only stop the killing with killing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shangguan Lingyun followed closely behind. But seeing this scene, his expression did not even change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This is the countermeasure that you came up with? Want to use this move to force me to give in huh? &lt;em&gt;Huhu,&lt;/em&gt; you''re overthinking it! What the Floating Light Blood Shadow Array absorbs isn''t just your Endless World martial artists'' sanguine qi, it likewise absorbs our Floating Light Blood Shadow Array martial artists'' sanguine qi too. The more you kill, the merrier the Blood Refining Flask absorbs!" Shangguan Lingyun said cold-bloodedly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Towards Shangguan Lingyun''s words, it was as if Ye Yuan did not hear them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thousand Flowing Petals surged instantly and started to suffuse in the battlefield.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The areas Ye Yuan passed by, those Fierce Gale World martial artists all collapsed weakly one by one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Shangguan Lingyun saw this scene, he was still unmoved. He just kept following not far away from Ye Yuan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every place Ye Yuan went to, the Crimsonlight City martial artists over there instantly obtained relief.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This action of his was actually in order to let the other Crimsonlight City martial artists break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before long, Ye Yuan actually bumped into the Chu Shi trio who killed their way back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Chu Shi saw Ye Yuan, he could not help being elated, "Mister Ye, you finally took action! Fortunately, Old Chu, I, didn''t fail you and already slaughtered a path out! At this time, I''m back to deal a back thrust!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Tch,&lt;/em&gt; making it seem like you did it alone!" Zhu Changzhi said disdainfully.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Ye Yuan heard Chu Shi''s words, he could not help being surprised too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His thinking was the same as Su Hu. He also thought that these people would flee for their lives selfishly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who knew that such a big change actually happened to Chu Shi trio; dealing an unexpected blow!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, "Almost there. You bring the others and leave. I''ll cover your retreat!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chu Shi was long aware of Ye Yuan''s strength, so he did not worry at all. He nodded his head and very quickly brought the others to break away from the encirclement and depart for the north.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those Fierce Gale World martial artists were still going to chase, but Ye Yuan descended from the sky and blocked in front of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Those who cross this line shall be killed without mercy!" Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent.&lt;/p&gt;

 611 Divine Traversing Realm Appears!

    Those martial artists were already crazed with killing. How could they care about Ye Yuan''s warning?


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan punched out without hesitation, directly decimating a large throng!


    With this, those martial artists finally knew his power. They came to a standstill one by one, looking at Ye Yuan fearfully.


    "Heh. Do you think that by using this sort of method, you can let them escape alive? I''ll hold him down. You all carry on chasing them! Kill off all of them for me! Leave no one!" Shangguan Lingyun issued the order.


    When those Fierce Gale World martial artists heard Shangguan Lingyun''s words, they were all stirring to take action.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Those who aren''t afraid to die, feel free to chase."


    His voice was not loud, but it transmitted into everyone''s ears clearly. Everyone unwittingly shuddered, and they involuntarily stopped their footsteps.


    Shangguan Lingyun''s expression darkened. He directly grabbed a martial artist and pinched him to death and said in a solemn voice, "All didn''t hear me? Chase after them for me! Could it be that you guys forgot the Wind Emperor, His Majesty''s, teachings?"


    Upon mentioning the wind emperor, those martial artists were like injected with stimulants one after another, and became abnormally excited.


    They actually forgot fear and really charged over.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan punched again, decimating a large swarm once more.


    Yet, this time, his deterrence actually did not have any effect. Those martial artists still chased after crazily.


    But when those martial artists were chasing, they intentionally circled around Ye Yuan, as if he, this person, did not exist.


    Shangguan Lingyun looked at Ye Yuan in delight and said, "Saw that? This is the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' might! Even if I let you kill, how many can you kill?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed. Killing intent was revealed towards Shangguan Lingyun!


    Shangguan Lingyun naturally perceived Ye Yuan''s killing intent, but he was not bothered.


    Although he examined himself and felt that he was not Ye Yuan''s match, for Ye Yuan to want to kill him, it was not something that easy.


    "Huhu, want to kill me? Bring it on!" Seeing Ye Yuan in an awkward position, Shangguan Lingyun was very satisfied in his heart too.


    Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun and said coldly, "Do you really think that I can''t kill you?"


    "Ye Yuan, I know that you''re very formidable. But as long as I don''t clash head-on with you, what basis do you have to kill me?"


    "Is that so? Then watch closely!"


    Ye Yuan''s starting stance was still the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage. Shangguan Lingyun was already very familiar with this move.


    The Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was indeed unbelievably powerful. But Shangguan Lingyun naturally would not be foolish enough to clash with Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan made his move, Shangguan Lingyun''s movement technique was already swiftly displayed.


    All of a sudden, Shangguan Lingyun''s expression changed drastically!


    Because his movement technique had just activated and that colossal red dragon was already right before his eyes! Shangguan Lingyun did not even see clearly how in the world Ye Yuan made his move!


    Instant-cast martial technique!


    This thought just flashed past Shangguan Lingyun''s mind, but he only had time to muster up all the essence energy in the body to guard his heart channels.


    Rumble!


    The massive red dragon collided viciously onto Shangguan Lingyun''s body. He took a Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage from Ye Yuan in all its glory!


    The power of the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage did not need to be said. Even with Shangguan Lingyun''s Eighth Level Soul Sea protective essence energy, it totally could not guard against this move as well.


    Phhsst!


    Fresh blood sprayed wildly from Shangguan Lingyun''s mouth! His entire person was hit flying out high up in the air!


    After those Fierce Gale World martial artists who were currently chasing saw this scene, they all involuntarily came to a halt and was at a loss on what to do for a time.


    Their main commander was actually beaten to this state by Ye Yuan in one exchange!


    "Lord Shangguan!"


    At this time, Deng Sheng was the very first to react, directly flying up to catch Shangguan Lingyun.


    "Lord Shangguan, are you alright?"


    Deng Sheng hurriedly stuffed a medicinal pill into Shangguan Lingyun''s mouth and revolved essence energy to help him refine the medicinal strength.


    Ye Yuan caught up at this time as well and did not prevent this scene with Deng Sheng.


    With the Fierce Gale World''s alchemy standards, how good a medicinal pill could be brought out?


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Shangguan Lingyun. Everybody all held their breaths.


    Deng Sheng hurriedly stood in front of Ye Yuan, blocking his path and said in a grave voice, "If you dare to kill Lord Shangguan, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    "Fighting it out with me, you don''t have this qualification!" Ye Yuan continued walking forward as he spoke.


    Deng Sheng was taken in by Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum and fell back repeatedly.


    Even Shangguan Lingyun was not Ye Yuan''s match. How could he possibly be Ye Yuan''s match?


    He did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move earlier at all. He only saw a red light flash and Shangguan Lingyun was already struck by Ye Yuan.


    Instant-cast martial technique!


    It was definitely an instant-cast martial technique!


    This youth could actually get hold of an instant-cast martial technique. It was simply impossible to guard against!


    Except, Deng Sheng could not figure out even if he scratched his scalp raw. How could such a powerful martial technique possibly achieve instant-cast?


    The incomparably powerful Shangguan Lingyun in his eyes was actually finished off by Ye Yuan instantly!


    This move earlier, Ye Yuan finally employed the nameless essence energy in his body. Forget about Shangguan Lingyun not being prepared, even if he had made ample preparations, it was also not possible to be Ye Yuan''s match.


    After experiencing the addition of nameless essence energy, the power of the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was even greater. Adding in instant-cast martial technique, Shangguan Lingyun''s defeat was already an inevitable situation.


    Deng Sheng suddenly paused and halted his footsteps.


    Behind him was Shangguan Lingyun already. He could not retreat anymore already.


    "Y-Ye Yuan, you kill me then. I beg you, let Lord Shangguan off!" Deng Sheng suddenly begged.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. His essence energy was already in the midst of being mustered frenziedly.


    Shangguan Lingyun had to die. He was this great army''s spirit.


    As long as he died, this great army was nothing to be feared. Only this way could give those Crimsonlight City martial artists sufficient time to escape.


    Hence, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to let Shangguan Lingyun off.


    "D-Don''t beg him! I-If you have the capabilities, t-then kill me! Puhwark!" As Shangguan Lingyun spoke, another mouthful of blood spewed out again.


    Even though that blow earlier did not claim his life, his wounds were extremely heavily currently, and he was already not far from death as well.


    If not for Deng Sheng feeding him a medicinal pill earlier, he would not even be able to speak right now.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of stalling for time. He knew that at present, time was pressing and already could not allow him to be indecisive.


    Looking at Shangguan Lingyun''s actions, a Divine Traversing Realm expert was definitely on the way already. There was simply no time for him to delay!


    And towards a person like Shangguan Lingyun, he would not be soft-hearted as well.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s aura rose to the peak once more. A massive red dragon rumbled over towards Deng Sheng once more, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.


    Deng Sheng clenched his jaws tightly and already planned on giving a last-ditch struggle.


    But right at this time, a horrifying pressure descended from the sky!


    Sensing this pressure, Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically, and his figure moved back explosively!


    A light halo appeared. Ye Yuan''s red colossal dragon was directly eradicated!


    Two figures appeared at Shangguan Lingyun''s sides. One of them was dignified and elegant; of noble birth at one glance.


    But the other was rather boorish, quite like the Lan Family Clan''s style.


    These two people were shockingly both Divine Traversing Realm experts!


    When Deng Sheng saw the arrivals, his face revealed wild elation!


    "Lord Yunrong! Lord Lan Shun! You . . . You finally came!"

 612 Keep Cool and Work Things Ou

    "You bring Lingyun to treat his injuries. Leave this place to me," Shangguan Yunrong said coolly.


    Deng Sheng already held the determination of dying for sure earlier. Who knew that there would be a turnabout. Shangguan Yunrong actually made it at the last moment, saving his life.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with complicated eyes, uncertain if he should be happy or mournful too.


    Happy was that Lord Yunrong made it, and Ye Yuan was certain to die.


    Mournful was that such a staggering genius martial artist was actually going to perish here. Such a pity.


    "You''re Ye Yuan?" Shangguan Yunrong sized him up for a bit and asked.


    "Aren''t you talking rubbish here?" Ye Yuan replied.


    Shangguan Yunrong did not mind and said smilingly, "I''m called Shangguan Yunrong, Lingyun''s clan uncle. The last time, I brushed past you at the Tranquil Cloud Sect. This time, I finally met you. You''re indeed the same as the story goes. You''re definitely a peerless genius hard to come by in ten thousand years. Just peak Sea Transformation Realm and you actually have the strength to kill Lingyun. Truly remarkable."


    Divine Traversing Realm experts might be paramount existences to other people.


    But in Ye Yuan''s eyes, it was also just like that.


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s current strength was clearly still a long way off from dealing with Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    But mentally, he did not have any reverence.


    Hearing Shangguan Yunrong said so, Ye Yuan said coolly, "What the hell does Shangguan Lingyun count as? Killing him, what''s there worthy of being proud of?"


    "Heh, what a rampant boy! I heard that a few juniors from our Lan Family all died at your hands?" Lan Shun suddenly said coldly.


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows went up when he heard that. No wonder this person was so alike those Lan Family Tribe people''s style. Turns out that it was the Lan Family Tribe''s old ancestor.


    "So what if yes?" Ye Yuan admitted it very scoundrelly.


    Today''s matter was clearly unable to be resolved. Ye Yuan could only go through with it now too.


    Ye Yuan could not retreat right now. The Crimsonlight City martial artists had not gone far yet. If he fled by himself, those people would surely die without a burial ground.


    So he had to delay the time now to strive for sufficient time for those people to flee.


    Lan Shun had always been a lofty and exalted Divine Traversing Realm expert. Anyone was reverent and respectful towards him.


    But this brat in front of him actually did not think much of him at all. This made him greatly enraged.


    Even though the Lan Family Tribe guarding the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array was just a branch of their Lan Clan, they were a member of his Lan Clan no matter what.


    This boy killed his juniors and was even so arrogant in front of him. How could he endure it?


    "Good! Since you admitted it, then let''s settle this score properly today! This old man will strip down your bones one by one later and sacrifice them to those juniors of mine!" Lan Shun said.


    Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look, "There are plenty of people who want to strip down my bones. But nobody has yet to succeed. With just the likes of you, you want to strip down my bones too?"


    Shangguan Yunrong''s brows furrowed slightly. He had a foreboding premonition in his heart.


    Ye Yuan was too composed as if he did not place him and Lan Shun in his sights at all.


    Did he really have some reliance, or was he putting on an empty fort strategy to scare him?


    "What a fine lad who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! I hope that you can still smile in a while! Yunrong, leave this brat to me. I''ll leave him unable to beg to live nor pray to die!" Lan Shun said.


    Although this Lan Shun and Shangguan Yunrong were both Divine Traversing Realm experts, between the two people, it was clear that Shangguan Yunrong was the leader.


    He wanted to touch Yunrong, but he needed to seek for Shangguan Yunrong''s opinion.


    Shangguan Yunrong nodded slightly and said, "Fine. I kept hearing that Ye Yuan is peerlessly talented, but I have never seen with my own eyes before. Lan Shun, you assess him and see just how formidable his strength is!"


    Getting an affirmative reply, Lan Shun''s face revealed a malicious smile, pressing on towards Ye Yuan step by step.


    The pressure belonging to a Divine Traversing Realm was released without holding anything back, crushing the others until everyone could not catch their breath.


    Divine Traversing Realm was a pinnacle existence in the Lower Realms'' martial artists.


    Every Divine Traversing Realm expert was incomparably exalted.


    In the eyes of Divine Traversing Realm experts, martial artists beneath the Divine Traversing Realm were existences like ants.


    Lan Shun knew that Ye Yuan was very strong. But no matter how strong, he was merely just a slightly larger ant as well.


    "Boy, you''ll pay the price for your arrogance!"


    Facing Lan Shun''s domineering pressure, Ye Yuan appeared very indifferent.


    He suddenly took out a purple-colored talisman and said coolly, "Whether I have to pay the price or not, I don''t know. But if you take another step forward, the price paid will be turning into ashes."


    The instant Yunrong took out the purple talisman, Shangguan Yunrong''s expression instantly changed drastically. His gaze was glued to the talisman in Yunrong''s hands. A cold drought surged unceasingly.


    But Lan Shun was totally unaware and said with a cold smile, "I was wondering where your confidence came from to be cocky with me. So, it''s this lousy thing! You don''t think that a lousy talisman is able to scare me, right?"


    "Lan Shun, stop! Don''t move forward anymore!" Shangguan Yunrong said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan sneered when he saw the situation and said, "Turns out that there is still somebody who recognizes the goods. Looks like don''t need me to waste my saliva."


    Lan Shun''s figure involuntarily froze, and he said in puzzlement, "Yunrong, just a lousy talisman. What''s the fuss about?"


    Cold sweat already broke out on Shangguan Yunrong''s forehead as he said somberly, "You shut your mouth for me! The purple talisman in his hand is called Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman. Once it''s unleashed, it''s equivalent to a peak Divine Traversing Realm expert''s all-out attack! Do you feel that you can survive under such an attack?"


    This purple talisman in Ye Yuan''s hand was precisely the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman from the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Even though using it to kill a First Level Divine Traversing was somewhat a waste of God''s good gift, at this time right now, Ye Yuan could not be bothered too much.


    "P-Peak Divine Traversing Realm''s . . . all-out attack . . ."


    With this, Lan Shun was dumbfounded too.


    That imposing momentum that disdained all under the heavens originally vanished without a trace. Large beads of sweat dripped down his forehead.


    How was that thing in Ye Yuan''s hand just some talismans? It was simply a time bomb!


    If by any chance he rushed over impulsively earlier, he would probably really have turned into ashes already at this moment.


    Looking at Lan Shun''s expression, Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Weren''t you very cocky just now? Aren''t you going to strip down all of my bones? Come on! I''m standing right now! Come and strip them!"


    Lan Shun could not resist swallowing his saliva and was actually tongue-tied for a moment.


    He thought nothing of Ye Yuan at all earlier. But who knew that he actually had such a major killing tool in his hands?


    Peak Divine Traversing Realm and First Level Divine Traversing Realm were two entirely different concepts.


    The disparity between the two could not be measured with distance.


    No matter how powerful he, Lan Shun, was, he could not possibly withstand the full power attack of a peak Divine Traversing Realm experts too!


    No wonder this boy was so arrogant. Turns out that this was waiting here!


    Lan Shun could not refrain from taking a step back, but Ye Yuan noticed it and said with a cold smile, "Try taking another step back!"


    Lan Shun choked up again, not knowing what should he do.


    His distance away from Ye Yuan right now was extremely awkward. It was right within Ye Yuan''s attack range. He wished to back away, but how could Ye Yuan possibly give him this chance?


    "B-Brat, you don''t be impulsive. Keep cool and work things out!" Lan Shun said dryly.

 613 Detonate!

    Ye Yuan was tickled when he heard that and said smilingly, "Keep cool and work things out? Your tone when speaking to me earlier wasn''t like this."


    Lan Shun had an awkward look as he said, "I . . . That was me having eyes, but not recognizing Mount Tai. Brat, er no, Little Brother Ye, I . . . I apologize."


    His back was already drenched in sweat, standing there and not daring to even move.


    Throughout his life until now, this was his first time feeling that he was so close to death.


    "Huhu, apologize? Do you feel that I''ll accept your apology?" Ye Yuan smiled as he responded with a question.


    "Then . . . Then what do you want?"


    "What do I want? How you guys came, scram back for me! Otherwise, you all have to die today!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    As he said, Ye Yuan raised the talisman in his hand up. Lan Shun''s heart lifted along as well and almost leaped out.


    At this instant, his scalp nearly exploded.


    However, Ye Yuan spun around lightly. The Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman returned to its original place again.


    Drip!


    Lan Shun heaved a sigh in relief. Sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped down.


    By the side, Shangguan Yunrong did not speak all along. At this time, he suddenly voiced out, "Ye Yuan, you don''t need to pretend to be relax! Your Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman can only be used once, right?"


    Ye Yuan was secretly startled, but his face was composed as he said, "Huhu, you can come and give it a try. Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman, I have a total of three; plenty to kill the two of you!"


    But Shangguan Yunrong shook his head and said, "The used once that I said wasn''t this meaning. Unleashing the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman with your current strength, you''ll most likely be sapped completely of essence energy instantaneously. So you won''t have the opportunity to unleash a second one at all! Even though it''s my first time meeting you, I still more or less know a little about your way of handling things. With your character, if you can unleash the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman many times, you would probably already have killed off Lan Shun without the slightest hesitation earlier. Tell me, is what I said right or wrong?"


    The more Shangguan Yunrong spoke, he more collected he became. He had clearly walked out of that panic-stricken emotion earlier already.


    Furthermore, one could discern from his tone that he was rather confident in his analysis.


    Ye Yuan did not think that this Shangguan Yunrong was actually so troublesome. He saw through that he was just making an empty show of strength so quickly.


    What Shangguan Yunrong said was totally right!


    When Long Teng handed these Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talismans to him, he also told Ye Yuan the method of application.


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was still somewhat lacking right now. He was simply unable to unleash the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman many times.


    Which was also to say that the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman in his hands could only kill Lan Shun alone!


    And once he unleashed the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman, he only had waiting helplessly for the end, this one path, to walk.


    Ye Yuan was originally thinking of using the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman to threaten the other party, then retreat leisurely. He did not expect that this Shangguan Yunrong was someone with a sharp mind. Wanting to smoke this through was not that easy!


    "Huhu, is that so? Since you say so, then I''ll come and give it a try." Ye Yuan turned towards Lan Shun and said, "Hey, that Lan Shun or whatever, sorry about it. In order to verify whether his words are correct or not, I''ll use you as an experiment first."


    As he said, Ye Yuan''s body radiated with a brilliant splendor and was about to pour essence energy into the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman.


    Lan Shun had a myriad of profanities galloping across his mind right now, but he hastily yelled out, "Don''t, don''t don''t! Little Brother Ye, don''t be rash! I believe you! I believe you!"


    Everyone says that the older the person, the more cowardly they get. This was not false at all.


    For Lan Shun to be able to have today''s accomplishments, he could be said to have gone through countless violent storms and waves. So he valued life the most as well. But how could he expect that he would fall at the hands of a junior today?


    The most hateful thing was that Shangguan Yunrong''s words openly and implied meaning were baiting Ye Yuan to finish him off. This fellow simply had malicious intents!


    Even if what Shangguan Yunrong said was true, what right did he have to make him be the scapegoat?


    "Shangguan Yunrong! What the meaning of this?" Lan Shun simmered with anger.


    Shangguan Yunrong said coolly, "His Majesty had warned us about this Ye Yuan! As long as we come across him, we are to capture and execute him right away! You saw it too, how great Ye Yuan''s potential is! Wait until he advances to the Soul Sea Realm, even you and I might not be his match too! For the sake of His Majesty''s grand plan, you sacrifice a bit."


    "Pooh! Talk is cheap! Why aren''t you the one sacrificing? If you have the capabilities, we swap positions. You go and sacrifice. I''ll complete His Majesty''s grand plan!" Lan Shun snarled.


    Shangguan Yunrong did not bother with Lan Shun. He said to Ye Yuan, "You don''t need to sow discord here. Today, I won''t let you leave no matter what! Your growth is too rapid. It''s already threatening His Majesty''s plan. Hence, you must die today!"


    Ye Yuan did not think that Shangguan Yunrong was so resolute; wanting to kill him by not stinting to sacrifice Lan Shun as well!


    Like this, the matter was somewhat troublesome.


    Even though he was very fretful in his heart, Ye Yuan''s face was still showing a smile, as if he thought nothing of it in the slightest.


    He smiled and said to Lan Shun, "Huhu, looks like your companion doesn''t care about life or death at all! Alright then, since that''s the case, then I''ll send you to the western paradise. But when you''re dead, don''t blame me. Want to blame, blame your companion for being heartless and cold-blooded.


    The talisman in Ye Yuan''s hand radiated even more brilliantly. Lan Shun was sweating profusely as he cursed, "Shangguan Yunrong, I f*ck your grandma! You''ll die a horrible death! May you be the last in your family line . . . Little Brother Ye, you mustn''t, mustn''t be rash!"


    Toward Lan Shun''s cursing, Shangguan Yunrong was unmoved. With a whizz, Shangguan Yunrong gathered a titanic quantity of heaven and earth essence energy.


    He was actually going to unleash an attack against Ye Yuan to force Ye Yuan to submit!


    Divine Traversing Realm experts'' control over heaven and earth essence energy already reached a very exaggerated level.


    Shangguan Yunrong deliberately pulled apart the distance from Ye Yuan. At this distance, although Ye Yuan''s Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman could hit him, it definitely would not be fatal.


    Conversely, it was likewise the same!


    But the attack of a Divine Traversing Realm expert, how could Ye Yuan dare to really withstand head-on?


    Therefore, Ye Yuan''s only option was to use the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman to kill Lan Shun!


    This Shangguan Yunrong, what ruthless means!


    In order to kill him, he did not scruple to use the life of another Divine Traversing Realm expert as the price!


    "Proud Snow Silver Frost Finger!"


    Shangguan Yunrong gave a light cry. An extremely tyrannical finger light tore through the air and arrived!


    "Shangguan Yunrong, I f*ck your eighteen generations of ancestors! Argh! Your Father will risk it! Dark Wind Divine Palm!"


    This Lan Shun was also someone decisive in killing and knew that at this time, it was no longer up to him!


    Even though he cursed Shangguan Yunrong verbally, this palm was not targeted at him but was unleashed towards Ye Yuan.


    At this time, he could only bet that the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion in Ye Yuan''s hand was a gray-market product and was totally useless.


    Two mighty Divine Traversing Realm experts unleashed moves at Ye Yuan at the same time. The commotion caused was truly earth-shaking.


    A colossal pressure engulfed the entire battlefield, crushing the other martial artists until they could not breathe.


    At this sort of stage, Ye Yuan no longer had any hopes of leaving things to chance. He poured all the essence energy in his body into the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman.


    The purple talisman instantly bloomed with a dazzling light. Several streaks of purple thunderbolts appeared from the void, wantonly bombarding at Lan Shun!

 614 Cat and Mouse?

    Purple electric snakes danced wildly in the air. A colossal energy pressure crushed everyone until they could not breathe, including Ye Yuan himself.


    The power of this Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman seriously somewhat exceeded his expectations.


    Lan Shun only struggled for a bit slightly and was engulfed by the frenzied electric snakes.


    The attacks of the two Divine Traversing Realm experts were annihilated like this by the electric snakes. It did not even stir up a wave.


    The corners of Shangguan Yunrong''s mouth involuntarily twitched a little. Clearly, he was intimidated by the scene before his eyes too.


    If he had swapped places with Lan Shun earlier, then the one being electrocuted to charcoal right now would be him!


    Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman was indeed well-deserving of its reputation!


    Right at this time, the Crimsonlight great army that already escaped very far away was startled right now as well.


    "En? This . . . What''s going on? What a powerful undulation!" Chu Shi''s expression changed as he said.


    Chu Shi and the others exchanged glances and guessed the answer very quickly.


    Such a powerful undulation, it definitely was not done by a Soul Sea Realm experts. Then it could only be . . . Divine Traversing Realm!


    "Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse! A Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse definitely arrived! M-Mister Ye he . . ." Zhu Changzhi somewhat choked up even when speaking.


    Liu Hong, the four people, similarly exchanged glances. They all saw thick worry from the other party''s eyes.


    "City Lord Su, you bring the others away. The four of us will go back and have a look at the situation!" Qin Yan said solemnly.


    "No way! Want to go back, it should be me too! The strength of the few of you is still weak. Facing Divine Traversing Realm experts, you simply don''t have the power to resist. I''m at any rate a peak Ninth Level Soul Sea. I more or less still have some chance to escape alive. I''ll return!" Su Hu directly refused.


    "We don''t care about other people. The three of us must go back! Mister Ye''s grace towards us is tantamount to giving us a new lease on life. Even if we die, we have to return too!" Zhu Changzhi said resolutely.


    "I''m going back too!"


    "I''m returning as well!"


    . . . . . .


    For a time, the Crimsonlight great army''s upper echelons were locked in a fierce dispute, all fighting to go back.


    "Alright! Stop arguing! Ding Qi, you bring the others and continue heading north towards Fairsun City to deliver the news. Tell them that the Fierce Gale World''s Divine Traversing Realm experts have already joined the war. Let the alliance make preparations early! City Lord, four sirs, since everybody is concerned with Mister Ye''s safety, then how about we go back together?"


    At this time, Chu Shi was steady and composed, and he actually had a demeanor of a commander-in-chief; simply like two different person from that sort of ruffian manner previously.


    Even though Su Hu''s strength was the greatest among these people, but faintly, Chu Shi actually became the person whose words had the heaviest weight.


    "Fine. Since that''s the case, then let''s go back together!" Su Hu nodded and said.


    Qin Yan nodded his head too, expressing agreement.


    . . . . . .


    "This Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman, I''ve only heard of its name as well. I didn''t expect that its power is actually so terrifying! Truly didn''t think that you actually still had such a major killing tool! It''s also fortunate that two people came together this time. Otherwise, we''d really be powerless against you!" Shangguan Yunron looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    Indeed, as he expected, Ye Yuan was sapped dry of essence energy by the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman. At this time, he became incomparably weak.


    In Shangguan Yunrong''s eyes, Ye Yuan was already a lamb awaiting slaughter.


    A martial artist without essence energy, what actions could he still take?


    He could tell that Ye Yuan was recovering essence energy on the sly. Furthermore, the speed was very swift. But he was not in a hurry at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s recovering speed was any faster, it was also not possible to recover to his peak state within a short time.


    During this process, he had plenty of time to kill Ye Yuan.


    As long as Ye Yuan was unable to unleash the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman again, so what if he let him fully recover essence energy?


    Shangguan Yunrong was a Third Level Divine Traversing Realm super expert. Even if Ye Yuan recovered essence energy, how could he possibly be his match?


    "Heh, do you think that . . . you can do anything to me now?" Ye Yuan panted and said.


    It was just that these words in Shangguan Yunrong''s view were entirely a dead duck having a stubborn mouth.


    Martial artists in battle, the greatest taboo was fully expending all of their essence energy. That way, he would not have any capital to protect himself anymore.


    Without the support of essence energy, no matter how powerful the martial technique, it was no use too.


    "Huhu, stop doing futile things. Do you think that I''ll give you the chance to recover essence energy?" Shangguan Yunrong suddenly unleashed a palm as he was speaking.


    This palm was very casual. But it did not have the intention of putting Ye Yuan to death.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was struck flying out, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    The essence energy that he had just amassed was directly dissipated by this palm.


    Shangguan Yunrong came in front of Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "Do you know how cats catching mice are done? After they catch the mouse, they will set the mouse free, then catch again, and release again. Repeating like this over and over again, all the way until the mouse is completely drained of energy. I know that you''re unresigned. But right now . . . you''re just a mouse that''s being toyed with by me."


    As he said, Shangguan Yunrong unleashed another palm, sending Ye Yuan flying out.


    Ye Yuan stood up, wiped away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth, and looked at Shangguan Yunrong as he said with a miserable smile, "Looks like your Shangguan Family are all a bunch of psychos! Do you feel that you, a dignified Divine Traversing Realm expert, having your life threatened by me, a Sea Transformation Realm junior, is very humiliating? So you want to find a mental equilibrium like this right now?"


    Shangguan Yunrong''s expression froze. Flinging his hand, it was another palm strike!


    He had his thoughts laid bare by Ye Yuan and could not help becoming enraged from embarrassment.


    Just as Ye Yuan predicted, he was indeed very furious earlier. That feeling of his life being held in the hands of others made him very displeased.


    Even though he maintained quite a distance away from Ye Yuan just now, If Ye Yuan really threw the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman at him, he did not dare say that he could withdraw unscathed either.


    The power of the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman was too strong!


    Lan Shun did not even leave behind bone ashes under the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman!


    If not for Ye Yuan doing it for the sake of ensuring that he could kill a Divine Traversing Realm expert, he, Shangguan Yunrong''s, most optimistic state right now would also be the outcome of severe injuries.


    Hence, when Ye Yuan exhausted his essence energy, he was not in a hurry to kill Ye Yuan but wanted to give vent to the resentment in his heart for a bit.


    "So what if yes? You already can''t use the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman now. I just want to mess with you to death. What can you do to me?" Shangguan Yunrong suddenly became savage.


    As Shangguan Yunrong was talking, his palm struck again. He did not mind going through the trouble to play this game.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was sent flying once more, his entire body covered in blood, looking very miserable.


    Seeing Ye Yuan like this, Shangguan Yunrong was very delighted in his heart.


    "Do you feel that you''re a genius; you feel that nobody in this world is your match? Don''t you know that killing a genius is something with a great sense of accomplishment? Hahaha! Beg me! Beg me to let you off! Maybe I''m in a good mood and will really spare you from death!" Shangguan Yunrong said in a crazed state.


    As he said, Shangguan Yunrong lifted his hand, and it was another palm strike.


    Yet, right at this time, he suddenly saw Ye Yuan smiling at him.


    That smile seemed to be mocking his ignorance and woe.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s expression changed, and all the hairs on his body stood on its ends. A feeling of immense danger came with a surge.

 615 Take It Easy, Its Just Starting!

    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan gave a fierce cry, sweeping over towards Shangguan Yunrong with a colossal azure dragon.


    The huge dragon''s roar reverberated throughout the skies and collided onto Shangguan Yunrong with a loud crash.


    This change was too sudden. Shangguan Yunrong was caught off guard and took a solid hit!


    Everyone shockingly discovered that the azure dragon actually broke apart the protective essence energy on Shangguan Yunrong and attacked his main body!


    "Puhwark!"


    Shangguan Yunrong was actually beaten until he vomited blood by this blow of Ye Yuan''s!


    Talking about it was slow, but all of this actually just happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Even Shangguan Yunrong did not react to it.


    Ye Yuan appeared to be weak all along for the sake of this attack!


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was Ye Yuan''s current true killing move!


    Under normal circumstances, Ye Yuan simply had no chance to use this move. Even if he used it, it was also not possible to cause the slightest bit of harm to Shangguan Yunrong.


    But it did not mean that this move could not harm Divine Traversing Realm experts.


    Ye Yuan''s talent with the cultivation of dragon wave, likewise, had reached a very monstrous degree.


    Not long ago, he already broke through Earth Rank and advanced into Heaven Rank boundary.


    Executing Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm with Heaven Rank boundary, this blow of Ye Yuan''s was already not much weaker compared to that final palm of Long Teng''s back then.


    This degree of attack, even if it could not kill a Divine Traversing Realm expert, making them sustain injuries was still achievable.


    Just when everyone all thought that Ye Yuan did not have the possibility of counter-attacking at all, it was the moment for Ye Yuan''s all-out blow.


    Hence, Ye Yuan succeeded!


    However, this was not over!


    Just as everyone was staring wide-eyed and their mouths agape, Ye Yuan erupted abruptly, speeding towards the Shangguan Yunrong who was still in the air!


    Ye Yuan sprinted all the way crazily, but his aura was in the midst of rising frenziedly.


    The Shangguan Yunrong who lost balance in the air had yet to understand what was happening when a sense of immense danger attacked once again.


    The sense of danger this time was even much stronger compared to the last time!


    Rumble!


    Just as Ye Yuan''s aura was soaring madly, the clouds and winds in the sky suddenly changed!


    The originally clear blue skies for thousands of miles up to the Ninth Heaven actually became covered with dense dark clouds. The sky instantly dimmed.


    This series of changes were too quick and also too sudden. Everybody failed to react to it, including Shangguan Yunrong!


    By the time they all reacted to it, a series of rolling thunder already resounded in the skies. Lightning flashed faintly in the clouds.


    That apocalyptic-like pressure made everyone unable to breathe.


    This scene made all the people startled inwardly.


    Ye Yuan was going to transcend the tribulation!


    Divine soul entering the sea was an action which defied the heavens. One would be subjected to the punishment of heavenly tribulation!


    Cross it and endless blue skies where birds could fly freely.


    Fail to cross, and one would perish; their Dao would vanish without anybody caring.


    Assaulting Soul Sea needed to expend ten years, even decades of time to prepare for other people. However, Ye Yuan did not need to.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul was incomparably powerful. It had long already reached the boundary of Quasi-Alchemy King perfection!


    Communicating with the essence energy sea with his current divine soul boundary was just something that flowed naturally when a channel was formed.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan experienced breaking through to Soul Sea in his previous life and was way too familiar with this process.


    Divine soul entering the sea, this process needed a very long period of adaptation to others.


    During the process of breaking through, one would even need to undergo failure many times.


    But this process, Ye Yuan already completed it during the process of sprinting earlier!


    Hence, that was why the heavenly tribulation arrived so quickly, catching everyone unprepared.


    And what Ye Yuan needed was precisely everybody to be caught by surprise.


    Just now, when Ye Yuan was erupting, he already stuffed a large amount of essence energy recovery medicinal pills into his mouth. At present, his essence energy was also in the midst of rapid recovery.


    After refining the dragon blood, Ye Yuan''s physique was already extremely daunting.


    Even though he did not have the support of essence energy, his explosive power was still extremely powerful!


    Just a matter of a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan already approached Shangguan Yunrong. Dashing behind him with a large stride, Ye Yuan reverse-latched onto him tightly!


    Shangguan Yunrong was frightened immensely by this and struggled desperately!


    "Are you crazy? What are you trying to do? Quickly let me go!"


    Even though Shangguan Yunrong was a Divine Traversing Realm expert, in terms of fleshy body strength, he was way inferior to Ye Yuan.


    In his panic, Shangguan Yunrong desperately wanted to use essence energy to shake Ye Yuan away. But Ye Yuan''s two arms buckled him down like iron hoops.


    Even if he was shocked until his entire body was covered in wounds, Ye Yuan did not plan on easing up a little either!


    "As repayment for your game of cat and mouse earlier, cross this heavenly tribulation together with me!" Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and said.


    "Argh! Let me go! I''ll kill you!" Shangguan Yunrong roared.


    At this time, Shangguan Yunrong finally came to his senses.


    Massive essence energy gathered onto his palm very quickly, and he was going to press on Ye Yuan''s body with a backhand.


    However, right then, a huge lightning bolt fell straight to the mortal world from above the heavens, slamming heavily onto the two person''s bodies!


    Rumble!


    The essence energy which Shangguan Yunrong had just coalesced was directly dissipated by this lightning.


    Only to see him with disheveled hair. How was there still any hint of the demeanor of an expert?


    Sustaining this blow, the aura on Shangguan Yunrong''s entire person waned considerably.


    The power of heavenly tribulation, even if he was a Divine Traversing Realm expert, it was not that nice to endure either.


    In contrast, when this bolt of lightning smote onto Ye Yuan''s body, he was perfectly fine. It looked like his aura even strengthened a little!


    However, Ye Yuan''s two arms still latched onto Shangguan Yunrong tightly, not giving him any opportunity to escape.


    Following the first bolt of lightning falling, the bolts of lightning in the air were like falling rain, crashing down onto the place where Ye Yuan and Shangguan Yunrong were at.


    For a time, rock fragments scattered all around. One could not see the two people''s figures in the outside world at all.


    "Argh! Ye Yuan! You''ll die a horrible death! Let go! Quickly let me go!"


    Shangguan Yunrong roared with all his might. However, Ye Yuan ignored him completely. He just hugged Shangguan Yunrong tightly, letting the heavenly tribulation slam onto the two of their bodies.


    This degree of heavenly tribulation did not matter to Ye Yuan at all.


    Ye Yuan refined the blood of a true dragon, and the strength of his fleshy body was very fearsome. Not only did this degree of heavenly tribulation not have the slightest effect on him, it even let his fleshy body obtain tempering, becoming even stronger.


    Furthermore, under the catalyzation caused by the heavenly tribulation, the large pile of medicinal pills that he consumed previously were currently being refined slowly. His aura recovered to the peak state very quickly!


    On the other hand, Shangguan Yunrong he did not have Ye Yuan''s freakish fleshy body. Furthermore, he did not have sufficient preparations to deal with heavenly tribulation at all in the first place in his panic.


    Under a bout of wanton bombarding, the aura on his body became increasingly withered.


    Before long, there was finally no more lightning falling in the sky. The others could finally see clearly the situation of the two people inside.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s body looked very tragic, his aura had actually already recovered to the peak state.


    While the high and mighty Shangguan Yunrong had a head of disheveled hair at this time, looking very savage.


    Most importantly, he was actually forcefully cut down a minor boundary by the heavenly tribulation!


    "Take it easy, it''s just starting!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when the clouds in the sky seemed to have become a little thicker again. It seemed to be preparing an even stronger heavenly tribulation!

 616 Forcefully Withstanding Heavenly Tribulation!

    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when a lightning bolt even thicker than before struck the bodies of the two.


    "Argh!"


    Shangguan Yunrong cried out miserably.


    Heavenly tribulation was the thing martial artists feared the most. After entering the Soul Sea Realm, they had the possibility of perishing under heavenly tribulation at any one breakthrough.


    "Ye Yuan, you madman! You''re only just breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm! Why is the power of the heavenly tribulation so strong?" Shangguan Yunrong howled.


    It was also that Divine Traversing Realm experts were too powerful. Swapping any other Soul Sea Realm martial artist to cross the heavenly tribulation together with Ye Yuan, they would probably have long been smitten to ashes at this time already.


    Changing another point of view to look at it, if not for the power of Ye Yuan''s heavenly tribulation being too strong, Shangguan Yunrong would also have killed Ye Yuan long ago. How could he give him the chance to transcend the tribulation?


    The power of heavenly tribulation was normally set according to the martial artist''s strength. Before this, Ye Yuan had virtually already reached the limits that Sea Transformation Realm could attain.


    The power of his heavenly tribulation right now was already powerful to a degree where even Shangguan Yunrong, this Divine Traversing Realm expert, was fearful of.


    It was just that no matter how he struggled, Ye Yuan just hugged him and did not loosen up.


    Shangguan Yunrong suffered the bombardment of the heavenly tribulation endlessly and did not have the time to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Dense lightning tribulation rumbled down unceasingly, blasting fragments of rock flying all around.


    The second wave of heavenly tribulation came down. Ye Yuan still withstood it with great ease same as before, while Shangguan Yunrong was blasted a minor boundary down once more!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan suddenly let go of Shangguan Yunrong and kicked him out abruptly.


    This kick, Shangguan Yunrong was likewise caught by surprise, and directly face-planted from Ye Yuan''s kick.


    But with this, it also kicked Shangguan Yunrong out of the range of the heavenly tribulation.


    Following that, Ye Yuan sat with his legs crossed, the expression on his face becoming solemn.


    The power of this heavenly tribulation seriously exceeded his imaginations somewhat. Although for the first two waves, he cleared it with ease, the power was way stronger compared to when he crossed the heavenly tribulation in his previous life!


    Ye Yuan was originally thinking of taking advantage of the heavenly tribulation to exhaust Shangguan Yunrong to death. Who knew that the power of this heavenly tribulation was actually so formidable.


    Rumble!


    The clouds in the sky became thick once more. Without any doubt, the next wave of heavenly tribulation would be even fiercer.


    Everyone stared at Ye Yuan in the center of the storm. They were all hoping for Ye Yuan to fail to transcend the tribulation and be struck to death by the lightning tribulation.


    But their eyes revealed thick alarm and terror because they had never seen such a berserk heavenly tribulation before.


    "Hahaha! Indeed well-deserving of being an unequaled genius! Even your method of transcending the tribulation is different from others! Looking at this sort of situation, you''ll have to cross at least four of the nine heavenly tribulations, right? Even if you can endure past three heavenly tribulations, I want to see just how you transcend four heavenly tribulations!"


    Shangguan Yunrong bore out of the mud with a filthy face.


    But at this time, he could not be bothered with his face anymore. He was laughing at Ye Yuan as he gloated over his misfortune.


    This fellow simply deserved death, to actually use him to block the heavenly tribulation and actually let the heavenly tribulation forcefully smite him down two minor cultivation realms!


    This was simply a sort of disgrace to Shangguan Yunrong!


    Hence, he hoped for Ye Yuan to be struck to death by the lightning tribulation right now more than anybody.


    Of course, these words still carried thick jealousy.


    Heavenly tribulation was divided into a total of nine levels. Every time they crossed a level of heavenly tribulation, the martial artist''s strength would strengthen a portion.


    Although tremendous risks existed with transcending tribulations, it also contained huge lucky chances.


    Heavenly tribulations were products of Heavenly Dao. It by itself carried many Heavenly Dao fragments. Even though most of these Heavenly Dao fragments would dissipate, there would still be a considerable portion remaining in the martial artist''s body.


    And these Heavenly Dao fragments could aid martial artists to comprehend concepts even faster.


    The more levels of heavenly tribulations crossed, the more Heavenly Dao fragments obtained. The benefits obtained by the martial artist was naturally greater too.


    For ordinary martial artists transcending tribulations, at most, it was crossing two of the nine heavenly tribulations.


    When Shangguan Yunrong crossed the heavenly tribulation back then, he only crossed three heavenly tribulations and already obtained immense benefits.


    But looking at Ye Yuan''s current momentum, he had to cross four heavenly tribulations at the very least. It might even be five heavenly tribulations!


    Then once Ye Yuan successfully transcended the tribulation, his strength would surely have a huge advancement!


    This was not a situation that Shangguan Yunrong wished to see. In his view, it was best for Ye Yuan to be smitten to death by the lightning tribulation!


    According to the magnitude of this heavenly tribulation right now, it was also not without the possibility!


    Every round of heavenly tribulation had a total of nine by nine, 81 lightning tribulations in each heavenly tribulation. There would not be intervals between this. The martial artist must endure through all of it before they could enter the next round.


    And how many rounds of heavenly tribulation every martial artist had, only the heaven itself knew this.


    Of course, the vast majority of the people were all below three levels of heavenly tribulations.


    Swoosh!


    Bang!


    Finally, the third heavenly tribulation was starting.


    Ye Yuan still sat with his legs crossed, as if he did not have the intention of resisting the heavenly tribulation.


    The violent lightning directly blasted onto his body. But Ye Yuan was unscathed.


    And on his body, there was actually still traces of current revolving around.


    Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yunrong''s expression changed greatly!


    "You . . . You this fellow, are actually using heavenly tribulation to temper your fleshy body?! You . . . You''re simply a madman!" Shangguan Yunrong finally witnessed what was called freakish today.


    When he was reverse-latched down by Ye Yuan, he did not notice what Ye Yuan was doing at all.


    Only when looking at Ye Yuan transcending the tribulations from outside the heavenly tribulation did he know what Ye Yuan was doing.


    Other people transcending tribulations, which one of them was not trembling with fear as if treading on thin ice.


    Ye Yuan had the nerve to actually make use of the heavenly tribulation to temper his fleshy body instead!


    A martial artist''s fleshy body was the weakest link. Generally, all could not keep up with their cultivation realms.


    Although under the catalyzing of essence energy, martial artists'' fleshy bodies were much stronger compared to ordinary people; it would generally be one to two major cultivation realms lower than themselves.


    Hence, when most people were transcending tribulations, they would strive with all their might to use protective essence energy to resist the heavenly tribulation. It was simply impossible to be like Ye Yuan to use the fleshy body to forcefully withstand the heavenly tribulations. This was simply no different from courting death.


    Bolts of heavenly tribulations fell down. Ye Yuan''s body radiated with a red glow. His aura was gradually becoming stronger.


    The reason why he dared to forcefully withstand the heavenly tribulation was actually that the dragon blood in his body was not fully absorbed. Utilizing the heavenly tribulation to temper the fleshy body could stimulate his body''s potential, refining the dragon blood that had not been refined once more.


    The power of Ye Yuan''s vitality was increasingly stronger. By the time the final streak of heavenly tribulation fell, Ye Yuan finally broke through the bottleneck with one stroke!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan felt unbelievably great. He already reached Soul Sea Realm just by relying on the strength of his physical body now.


    Coupled with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, he could virtually sweep away Soul Sea Realms!


    "Uncle Rong, what happened? Why is Ye Yuan . . . transcending the tribulation? Furthermore, the power of this heavenly tribulation . . . seems to be a little too strong as well, right? En? Uncle Rong, your cultivation realm . . ."


    Shangguan Lingyun regulated his breathing for a while, and his injuries were finally brought under control a little.


    He sensed that the commotion over here was huge and it seemed like the situation was not too optimistic, so he rushed over to take a look. Shocked, he saw Ye Yuan currently transcending the tribulation.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s face was completely black as he gritted his teeth and said, "It''s all Ye Yuan that brat''s tricks! Lingyun, I feel that it''s not going too well right now. We''d better ask for help from Family Head!"

 617 Dispersing Tribulation Clouds!

    Shangguan Lingyun''s heart pounded.


    He initially thought that by calling Shangguan Yunrong, a Third Level Divine Traversing expert, over, Ye Yuan would die for sure.


    Who knew that in just this short while, the two mighty Divine Traversing Realm experts, one died, and one was injured, while Ye Yuan was transcending the tribulation over there perfectly fine.


    Once he succeeds in transcending the tribulation, Ye Yuan''s strength would advance another step further. There was really nobody who could control him here anymore.


    Shangguan Lingyun and Shangguan Yunrong both felt that Ye Yuan''s threat was too great. They had to thoroughly kill him this time; otherwise, there would be no end of trouble for the future.


    "Deng Sheng, immediately send news to Family Head, and let them send experts over right away!" Shangguan Lingyun instructed.


    "Yes! This subordinate will go right away!" Deng Sheng immediately received the order and left.


    Shangguan Yunrong and Shangguan Lingyun watched Ye Yuan in the heavenly tribulation, their faces had indescribable solemness.


    Before long, the fourth of the nine heavenly tribulation came as promised.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body already broke through its fetters and entered a brand-new boundary.


    In the sky, the tribulation clouds were increasingly thicker. The area was also getting bigger and bigger.


    A pressure exuded from within the clouds, crushing everyone until they could hardly breathe.


    Everyone realized one point. The power of this fourth heavenly tribulation would probably be even more terrifying!


    "The power of this fourth heavenly tribulation, with my current strength, I most likely can''t make it through at all! This Ye Yuan is truly too scary! He can actually summon such a horrifying fourth heavenly tribulation!" Shangguan Yunrong said somberly.


    "This fourth heavenly tribulations seems to be more than twice stronger than the third heavenly tribulation. No matter how powerful Ye Yuan is, he won''t dare to forcefully withstand it either, right? Hopefully, he gets struck to death by this fourth heavenly tribulation!" Shangguan Lingyun said hatefully.


    But Shangguan Yunrong shook his head and said, "Although this fourth heavenly tribulation is strong, to want to kill him, it probably still can''t accomplish that. If . . . he can draw a fifth heavenly tribulation, then there might be some hope. En? What''s he trying to do?"


    Shangguan Yunrong, uncle and nephew, were currently talking when Ye Yuan suddenly stood up.


    It was only to see him tilting his head. He looked up at the rolling thunder in the sky. He was actually brimming with fighting intent!


    "He . . . He can''t be . . ." Shangguan Yunrong faintly had some conjectures in his heart, but he felt that this was simply nonsense.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s action the next instant gave him a resounding slap.


    Chiii!


    The first bolt of the fourth heavenly tribulation descended from the sky. At the same time, Ye Yuan''s body gave off an extremely powerful aura!


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    In the sky, an electric snake descended very rapidly. On the ground, an azure dragon rose high into the air!


    This scene shocked everyone until they could not speak.


    Since time immemorial, there had yet to be anyone so wildly arrogant when transcending tribulations; to actually attempt to scatter the heavenly tribulation in vain!


    In the eyes of Shangguan Yunrong and his nephew, Ye Yuan was an out-and-out madman.


    In this world, there did not seem to be things that he did not dare to do!


    Rumble!


    Experiencing three rounds of heavenly tribulations'' tempering, Ye Yuan''s current state had already reached the peak!


    Plus, going a step further and refining the dragon''s blood, the true dragon strength in his body became even more boundless.


    The power of this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm move was much, much stronger compared to that palm previously!


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gazes, the azure dragon directly dispersed that bolt of lightning tribulation!


    However, this was not over yet. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s remaining momentum had yet to be exhausted. It actually went directly for the firmament!


    "N-No way, right?"


    There were already no words that could express Shangguan Yunrong''s emotions at this instant. Heavenly tribulation . . . could actually be transcended like this?


    Rumble!


    In the wake of a great dragon roar, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm directly blasted toward the tribulation clouds!


    The tribulations clouds that were currently brewing the fourth heavenly tribulation was actually forcefully scattered away!


    "The fourth . . . heavenly tribulation . . . actually didn''t descend? I . . . I didn''t see wrongly, right?" Shangguan Yunrong said blankly.


    "Just what kind of monster were we fighting with?! He . . . He actually dispersed the heavenly tribulation! Is this what humans can accomplish?" Shangguan Lingyun was already unable to describe his emotions at this moment.


    At this instant, everyone seemed to have all forgotten that this place was a battlefield. A place where hundreds of thousands of people gathered was actually deathly silent.


    Ye Yuan dispersing the heavenly tribulation with one palm. The visual impact that this brought to them was seriously too intense.


    Shangguan Yunrong had stayed in the heavenly tribulation before previously. He knew how powerful Ye Yuan''s heavenly tribulation was!


    This fourth heavenly tribulation absolutely had the power to exterminate a First Level Divine Traversing expert.


    But such a horrifying heavenly tribulation was actually directly dispersed by Ye Yuan!


    . . . . . .


    At present, in a hidden place outside the battlefield, Chu Shi and the others were currently secretly spectating everything in the battlefield.


    The fighting had already stopped. Hundreds of thousands of people were all watching Ye Yuan breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm by himself.


    Such a large battlefield actually became Ye Yuan''s individual performance stage. This made the few people who came back to rescue all feel somewhat taking a superfluous action.


    That Divine Traversing Realm expert was actually dragged into the heavenly tribulation by Mister Ye, injuring the former and causing his strength to be blasted down to the First Level Divine Traversing Realm from the Third Level.


    Such a horrifying fourth heavenly tribulation was actually scattered in one palm by Mister Ye.


    What did they come back for?


    Uh . . . Perhaps it was in order to witness a miracle!


    Yeah. They probably would not see such a magnificent feat ever again in this lifetime!


    "Hahaha! I already said that Mister Ye would definitely be fine!" Chu Shi suppressed his voice and said with a big laugh.


    "You didn''t say before!" Qian Si exposed it without any hesitation.


    "Yeah! If I have to say, we, these people, are like men filled with apprehension that the sky would fall! Mister Ye he is so strong. How can something possibly happen?! Forget about Divine Traversing Realm, even if it''s a Boundless Realm, he''d surely be fine too!" Zhu Changzhi said.


    Witnessing the scene of Ye Yuan dissipating the tribulation clouds, everyone''s idolization of Ye Yuan now already reached a blind degree.


    This could not be blamed on them either. It was truly that Ye Yuan''s actions made people feel that it was too fantastical.


    This was simply not what an ordinary person could do!


    "Before you came, you were even sniveling," Qian Si interjected again emotionlessly.


    One should not look at Qian Si as just a person who did not talk much. This sharp tongue skill was not an ordinary kind of strong. Furthermore, it was short and concise, making you unable to refute at all.


    But Zhu Changzhi was indifferent as he said, "Haha! As long as Mister Ye is fine, even if I go blind from crying, it''s okay! Now that he dispersed the tribulation clouds, he should be able to break through to the Soul Sea Realm, right?"


    "No, wait! You guys, look! The dispersed tribulation clouds seem to have condensed together again! Furthermore, this time . . . it seems to be . . . terrifyingly powerful!" Guo Taoqun suddenly said.


    Everyone was alarmed inwardly and hurriedly looked over in Ye Yuan''s direction. Indeed, they discovered that those tribulations clouds that were scattered away actually condensed together again anew.


    Furthermore, this time, they actually all felt rattled separated by an entire battlefield.


    It could be seen that the lightning tribulation this time was probably unusual compared to those previously!


    When Shangguan Yunrong saw this scene, he could not help bursting into laughter, "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, you wouldn''t die if you weren''t taking the road to ruin! Who asked you to be rampant! To be arrogant! Aren''t you very capable? Didn''t you disperse the tribulation clouds? Now, you''re going to suffer the retribution of Heavenly Dao, right? Hahaha! This is lightning tribulation plus soul tribulation, both tribulations arriving together! I''ll see how you resist it!"

 618 Dual-Colored Heavenly Tribulation!

    Puff, puff, puff.


    A large group of Fierce Gale World martial artists with slightly weaker strength, because they could not withstand the pressure of these dual-tribulations arriving together, their bodies exploded directly, turning into a mass of blood mist.


    Even some of the Sea Transformation Realm martial artists also suffered varying degrees of injuries.


    The pressure of these dual-tribulations arriving together was seriously too horrifying.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his expression became solemn too.


    Both tribulations arriving together, this had indeed exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations a little too much.


    Just earlier, after dispersing the tribulations clouds with one palm, Ye Yuan suddenly felt that his divine soul could no longer be suppressed. It was actually going to break through to the Alchemy King Realm!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; it was like drawing the bow but not discharging the arrow.


    It was precisely such a situation that made people feel even more stifled.


    "Ye Yuan, I admit that you''re a genius. But your genius has already aroused the heaven''s'' jealousy! Lightning and soul dual-tribulation. I''ll see how you transcend them!" Shangguan Yunrong was very excited by the side.


    Such a horrifying heavenly tribulation. Even for him, this Divine Traversing Realm expert, being inside would only lead to the outcome of disintegrating into ashes.


    Even if Ye Yuan was any more monstrous, it was not possible to transcend it either.


    Ye Yuan in the heavenly tribulation shot Shangguan Yunrong a cold glance and said disdainfully, "A fool like you will never know what''s called a genius! True geniuses have to go against the heaven! I''ll let you see what''s called a true genius today!"


    Right then, the heavenly tribulation in the tribulations clouds which had been brewing for a long time finally fell abruptly!


    Ka!


    "You guys, look! It''s actually a dual-colored heavenly tribulation! My god! Is this really a heavenly tribulation that humans have to cross?" Chu Shi said.


    "Mister Ye''s talent truly makes even the heaven jealous! White heavenly tribulation should be the heavenly tribulation of martial artists. Purple heavenly tribulation should be the divine soul''s heavenly tribulation! I even feel my heart palpitate over here. En . . . Mister Ye can definitely transcend the tribulations successfully!" Zhu Changzhi said.


    "How can he possibly fail?" Qian Si said.


    Right at that instance, the dual-colored heavenly tribulation fell. Ye Yuan suddenly swung his fist. A fire dragon surged out!


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s divine soul turned into a sharp sword and rushed out from the essence energy sea!


    "Soul Driving Flying Sword!"


    One martial technique, one divine soul mystic art. Two attacks welcomed the dual-colored lightning tribulation at the same time!


    Rumble!


    A huge brilliance radiated. Ye Yuan''s attack and the dual-colored heavenly tribulation collided together violently. A massive air billow crept out, sweeping the Fierce Gale World martial artists that had already retreated very far away flying.


    Ye Yuan stood at the center of this storm without budging an inch, akin to an ever-victorious divinity!


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation as he swallowed a pile of medicinal pills again.


    The power of this heavenly tribulation was too strong. He had to strive with all his might and did not dare to hold back in the slightest at all.


    This degree of attacks, he did not know how long he could sustain either.


    But Ye Yuan knew that enduring the dual-tribulation passively, regardless whether was it the body or divine soul, he would surely have to suffer injuries to a very large extent.


    Like that, even if he transcended both tribulations, he probably would not have the ability to deal with the Shangguan Yunrong who was glaring like a ravening tiger either.


    Crack! Crack!


    Another two bolts of dual-colored lightning tribulation rumbled down. Ye Yuan swung his fists once more. Two Flame Movement True Dragon Carnages and Soul Driving Flying Swords were unleashed at the same time, offsetting the two bolts of lightning tribulation once again.


    The tribulation clouds'' pressure in the sky was getting increasingly greater. It seemed to be enraged and seemed to be mocking Ye Yuan''s overestimation of his own ability.


    This time, five bolts of dual-colored heavenly tribulation landed at the same time. Even the Shangguan Yunrong outside of the heavenly tribulation felt somewhat unable to withstand this pressure and retreated very far out together with Shangguan Lingyun.


    "Hiss . . . Uncle Rong, do you think Ye Yuan he . . ."


    Shangguan Lingyun was shocked by Ye Yuan''s fierceness. Initially, he thought that Ye Yuan absolutely could not possibly transcend this sort of dual-colored lightning tribulation. Because that simply exceeded the boundaries of human strength.


    The power of a fifth heavenly tribulation, logically speaking, it was simply impossible for Soul Sea Realm martial artists to make it through, let alone adding in a soul tribulation that was even harder to deal with?


    Actually, soul tribulations were even harder to transcend than lightning tribulations. Furthermore, this soul tribulation of Ye Yuan''s was even more extraordinary.


    Soul tribulations acted on the divine soul directly. Martial artists'' weakest area was the divine soul.


    To the vast majority of alchemists, apart from forcefully resisting the soul tribulation, they had no other way.


    Who could have thought that Ye Yuan actually still had such a formidable divine soul mystic art that could actually deal with soul tribulations!


    This Ye Yuan virtually did not have any bit of dead angle from head to toe. He was simply powerful until it made people despair.


    Living in the same era with a genius like this seemed to be destined to be a tragedy.


    At this moment, Shangguan Lingyun finally understood that regardless of what kind of path he took; he would forever not be Ye Yuan''s match.


    Except, it was unknown whether or not that Zhao Chenggan who was nurtured and protected by Zhao Tianyin could obstruct Ye Yuan''s path of growing up.


    "Impossible! You look at those tribulation clouds in the sky! Ye Yuan''s arrogance has already thoroughly infuriated the Heavenly Dao! Don''t look at him being very arrogant right now, the further back this heavenly tribulation goes, the greater the power and greater the density! He can''t possibly make it through!" Shangguan Yunrong said.


    Indeed, just as Shangguan Yunrong predicted, the heavenly tribulations descending from inside the tribulation clouds became increasingly denser, practically not giving Ye Yuan the slightest opportunity to catch his breath.


    Ye Yuan''s martial technique was released like raindrops, colliding together with those dense heavenly tribulations.


    Even if Shangguan Yunrong did not believe that Ye Yuan could transcend these dual-colored lightning tribulations, he was still astounded by this scene before his eyes.


    Was the magnitude of this sort of attacks truly unleashed by a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist who was currently transcending tribulation?


    In a twinkle, over half of the nine by nine, 81 lightning tribulations, had already passed. Ye Yuan''s essence energy and soul force were being depleted rapidly.


    Such consumption speed was too rapid. Even if Ye Yuan swallowed a large quantity of medicinal pills, he felt very taxing too.


    Even more d*mnable was that the expenditure of soul force was greater than the expenditure of essence energy. If this continued, once the divine soul received damage, it would be a very troublesome matter.


    Ye Yuan also never expected that the soul tribulation would actually become the greatest bottleneck restricting him from transcending the tribulation right now.


    "Hahaha! What did I say? You see, his way of transcending the tribulation is no different from courting death! Look, his soul force is going to be depleted very soon. When his divine soul directly suffers the bombardment of the purple lightning, that will be the instant of him perishing and his Dao vanishing!" Shangguan Yunrong said with a hideous grin.


    "Heh heh, it''s still Uncle Rong who is impressive! Ye Yuan''s soul force has already reached rock-bottom. But at the back, there are still over a dozen bolts of purple soul tribulations. These final dozen over purple soul tribulations are even stronger. He can only withstand seven to eight bolts at most. Those few bolts of soul tribulations at the back, he can''t push through no matter what!" Shangguan Lingyun also had a look of thrill.


    At this time, the excitement on Chu Shi''s and the others'' faces were long already replaced by solemness.


    Although they were separated very far away, they could also feel that Ye Yuan was not quite right.


    Such high-intensity execution of martial techniques, even if Ye Yuan''s essence energy was a bottomless pit, it should also be seeing the bottom at this time.


    Under the heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan''s aura was being diminished unceasingly.


    Very clearly, transcending the tribulation had already reached the critical juncture.


    "M-Mister Ye he . . ." Zhu Changzhi said worriedly.


    "Shut your stinky mouth up! Mister Ye''s fortunes run deep! How can he possibly not even transcend past the heavenly tribulation of Soul Sea Realm?" Chu Shi reproached.

 619 A Blow in Anger

    "Puhwark!"


    Finally, a bolt of dual-colored heavenly tribulation landed heavily on Ye Yuan''s body. Ye Yuan directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    Even if his fleshy body was very powerful right now, facing such a heavenly tribulation, his body suffered damage instantly too.


    His essence energy was already depleted, and his soul force had also been exhausted. This hit made his aura nosedive to the limit.


    This was the 78th dual-colored heavenly tribulation. There were just three bolts remaining at the back!


    But these three bolts of heavenly tribulations were the most deadly three bolts of heavenly tribulation.


    The nameless essence energy within Ye Yuan''s body had yet to be employed. He could expend this essence energy to resist the lightning tribulation.


    But his soul force was already dried up. There was simply no way to endure the damage of the purple lightning soul tribulation anymore.


    Seeing Ye Yuan spitting out blood from severe injuries, Shangguan Yunrong and his nephew were both abnormally excited.


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, didn''t you say earlier to let us take a look at what''s called a true genius? If you have the capabilities, transcend this lightning tribulation for us to see! Your essence energy and soul force are both consumed entirely already. Even though there are only three bolts of heavenly tribulation left, these three bolts of heavenly tribulation are the heavenly tribulation that will claim your life! Hahaha!"


    Shangguan Yunrong was exhilarated!


    Just prior to this, he did not know where Ye Yuan''s limits lay either.


    He clearly saw that Ye Yuan''s essence energy was already depleted, but Ye Yuan still persevered for a very long time. This made him very baffled.


    All the way until Ye Yuan spat blood from heavy injuries, he finally confirmed that Ye Yuan already could not make it.


    Shangguan Yunrong believed that Ye Yuan''s spirit and physical strength at this time had already reached the limit. If he broke down Ye Yuan''s confidence with words, Ye Yuan would be even less likely to transcend this dual-colored heavenly tribulation.


    "Yeah! If you want to prove that you''re a genius, transcend past these final three bolts of heavenly tribulation! I really want to see the birth of an unrivaled genius! Sigh . . . an unrivaled genius who came to an untimely end. Such a pity. Hahaha!" Shangguan Lingyun got the hint and also voiced out.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s attainments in Heart Realm towered over them by God knows how much. How could their verbal attacks possibly shake Ye Yuan''s confidence?


    Ye Yuan was burning with anxiety right now as well. He was desperately using his divine soul to communicate with those golden words and the black bead, but they did not have any reaction at all.


    Kak!


    The 79th bolt of heavenly tribulation carried an exceedingly horrifying pressure and fell down.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and mustered up the nameless essence energy. A Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage punch was unleashed once more.


    The white lightning tribulation was successfully neutralized by Ye Yuan''s attack. But the purple lightning tribulation disregarded his attack and bombarded onto his divine soul directly.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul was incomparably powerful. But being struck directly by this bolt of purple lightning tribulation, he suffered severe injuries this time as well, spitting out a mouthful of blood again.


    But the black bead and golden characters in his sea of consciousness did not have any reaction at all.


    When Ye Yuan unleashed an attack once more, Shangguan Yunrong taken aback with fright.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy was clearly exhausted already. Where did he have the essence energy to execute martial techniques?


    "Instant-cast martial technique! Just now, that was an instant-cast martial technique! Uncle Rong, I was defeated by his instant-cast martial technique earlier! This Ye Yuan definitely still has other trump cards that can achieve instant-cast martial technique!" Shangguan Lingyun suddenly cried out.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s face fell slightly. Ye Yuan''s instant-cast martial technique earlier, how could he not perceive it?


    He never would not have thought that at this time, Ye Yuan still had cards up his sleeves!


    "Relax. He''s definitely at his wit''s end already with divine soul defense. Looking at the current situation, he absolutely can''t make it through the final two bolts of purple lightning! Even if he really made it through, he will be heavily injured as well. At that time, it will be his time of death!" Shangguan Yunrong said.


    Right at this time, the 80th bolt of heavenly tribulation finally fell.


    Ye Yuan struggled to crawl up. Looking up at the sky and giving a long howl, a punch rumbled over once more.


    Rumble!


    The purple lightning tribulation blasted onto his divine soul without any suspense, piling on injuries on top of his injuries.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul had utterly wilted at this time. It already suffered extremely severe injuries.


    In light of his injuries right now, it was absolutely impossible for him to transcend the final bolt of dual-colored heavenly tribulation!


    After the 80th bolt of heavenly tribulation, the final bolt dual-colored heavenly tribulation did not fall right away.


    The tribulation clouds up in the sky seemed to have become a little thicker again. It was brewing an even more powerful heavenly tribulation!


    Swoosh!


    Zhu Changzhi was going to charge towards Ye Yuan with a lunge but was held back by Chu Shi.


    "What are you doing?" Chu Shi said angrily.


    "Going to save Mister Ye! This life of mine was given by Mister Ye! Even if I die, I have to save him too!" Zhu Changzhi said almost in tears.


    Snap!


    Chu Shi directly gave him a slap and said furiously, "You fool! If you go, not only will you not be able to help Mister Ye, you''ll bring him even greater trouble instead! It doesn''t matter if you die. What if you didn''t die? There''s a Divine Traversing Realm expert over there. If you go over there, fumble and get caught, wouldn''t you become Mister Ye''s burden?"


    Zhu Changzhi''s expression froze, and he wailed, "Then what to do? We can''t just watch Mister Ye be killed by them, right?"


    "Wait a while more. I know Brother Ye''s disposition. He won''t admit defeat so easily. Perhaps there is still a turnaround! About heavenly tribulation, he can only rely on himself. It''s futile even if we go over. Wait until Brother Ye transcends the heavenly tribulation. We''ll charge over together!" At this time, the Yin Yanhua who did not speak the entire time opened her mouth.


    Looking at the current situation, even if Ye Yuan transcended the heavenly tribulation, he would definitely be severely injured too.


    At that time, he definitely needed their help.


    Even if it was delaying a Divine Traversing Realm expert for a moment, their payout was worth it too.


    Ye Yuan''s injuries at this time were very severe. It was severe until he could not even stand up.


    He tried several times in a row and did not crawl up.


    Could it be that I gained a new lease on life again and actually can''t even transcend the heavenly tribulation of Soul Sea Realm? No! I''m unresigned! Ye Yuan roared in his heart.


    In his previous life, he did good deeds for hundreds of years. In the end, what it exchanged for was the outcome of perishing and his Dao vanishing.


    Reviving in this life, Ye Yuan had long made up his mind to go against the heaven!


    Today, it was his first time standing in front of Heavenly Dao and challenging it!


    Almost. Just the last bit left!


    Only the final lightning tribulation!


    "ARGHHH . . . !"


    Ye Yuan roared and used all the strength in his body to stand up. Pointing his finger to the sky, he said, "Villainous old heaven! Bring it! If you have the balls, smite me to death!"


    Seemingly replying Ye Yuan''s words, finally, the 81st bolt of heavenly tribulation that had been brewing for a long time finally fell down!


    "Coiling Dragon . . . Heaven . . . Devastating . . . Palm!"


    Ye Yuan used the last of his strength and unleashed his final blow! It was also an attack containing his wrath, an attack challenging Heavenly Dao!


    This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm broke through the limits of his body. It was more powerful than any of his palms previously.


    The azure dragon carried along a sorrowful and resentful roar as it galloped towards the firmament. It was as if it was the roar in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm directly annihilated the final bolt of heavenly tribulation, and then it charged straight for the skies, charging over towards the tribulation clouds.


    Rumble!


    That thick tribulation cloud was actually dispersed by Ye Yuan once again!


    However, this attack of Ye Yuan''s . . . was still unable to stem the descent of the purple lightning!

 620 Great Turnabout!

    The purple lightning tribulation landed right on Ye Yuan''s body just like this!


    After being hit by the soul tribulation, Ye Yuan''s entire body was paralyzed, unmoving.


    Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yunrong laughed wildly and said, "Ye Yuan, so what even if you transcended the heavenly tribulation? Aren''t you still going to die at my hands?! Tsk tsk, you transcended the dual-colored lightning tribulation. You proved to us that you''re a true genius. So what? To be able to kill a true genius, I feel even more honored too! Hahaha!"


    Bearing this bolt of purple lightning, although Ye Yuan was still breathing, it was already impossible to fight anymore. He naturally became fish on a chopping board, being at the mercy of Shangguan Yunrong.


    "Brothers! Charge!"


    Chu Shi gave a shout. Those people who came back charged out without any hesitation, slaughtering into the Fierce Gale World''s great army.


    For a moment, war cries filled the air.


    When Shangguan Yunrong saw this scene, he had a disdainful look as he said, "Couldn''t tell that you still have some capability of winning people''s hearts. These trash all killed their way out already. In order to save you, they actually came back again. But how large a wave can these small fries stir?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were tightly shut. He did not have the intention of responding to Shangguan Yunrong at all.


    Shangguan Yunrong said with a hideous grin, "Ye Yuan, you''re too outstanding. Out of fear where a long night is fraught with many dreams, I''ll send you on your way right now!"


    By the side, Shangguan Lingyun was very excited at this time as well. Finally could kill Ye Yuan. After today, there wasn''t going to be anybody obstructing in front of him no more!


    "Uncle Rong, quickly do it!" Shangguan Lingyun urged.


    Shangguan Yunrong nodded his head and was going to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    Right then, a streak of white light appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Yuan and attacked Shangguan Yunrong abruptly.


    This scene was too sudden. Everyone could not react in time.


    "Courting death!"


    Shangguan Yunrong''s expression changed, and he changed direction at the last minute to attack that streak of white light.


    That streak of white light''s speed was too swift. It was so fast that Shangguan Yunrong''s martial technique had yet to fully form and White Light already arrived in front of him.


    Bang!


    Shangguan Yunrong was directly knocked flying out.


    Only when he struggled to his feet did he discover that that streak of white light was actually a white tiger. Who could it be but White Light?


    The current White Light was no longer that little kitty in the past, but he truly matured into a white tiger!


    White color velvet fur lined with black stripes. A pair of tiger eyes glared at Shangguan Yunrong, looking awe-inspiring.


    This was the true bearing of a divine beast!


    "Roar!"


    White Light raised his head and gave a long roar. A powerful aura instantly spread across the entire battlefield.


    At this moment, White Light''s might of a divine beast was displayed beyond all doubt!


    "Peak Tier 4 demonic beast!"


    Seeing White Light, Shangguan Yunrong sucked in a cold breath.


    Peak Tier 4 demonic beasts were equivalent to humans'' Peak Soul Sea Realm.


    And looking at that attack earlier, the offensive power of this white tiger was likely not beneath his!


    The most damnable thing was that . . . this fellow''s speed was too fast!


    Shangguan Yunrong only felt his vision blurred just now and White Light already arrived in front of him.


    Such horrifying speed, his attacks could not hit at all!


    There was actually still such a heaven-defying demonic beast existing around Ye Yuan?


    Peak Tier 4 demonic beasts were extremely rare in human territories. They would only be inside the Endless Forest.


    One had to know that when Peak Tier 4 demonic beasts advanced another step, they would be able to transcend tribulation and take form!


    Even though this white tiger in front of him was only Peak Tier 4, it could fight to a draw with him. It could be seen that it was absolutely not a common demonic beast.


    Shangguan Yunrong changed expressions several times. No matter how he calculated, it was also impossible to have calculated that Ye Yuan actually still had such a powerful existence by his side!


    "Leave this white tiger to me! You guys attack together and kill Ye Yuan with a flurry of blades!" Shangguan Yunrong instructed the great army.


    But right then, a dense pack of white apes suddenly appeared around Ye Yuan. They were precisely the Long-arm Stone Ape clan!


    The Long-arm Stone Ape clan''s current strength was already no longer what it was in the past. Just the Tier 4 demonic beasts, a large batch was born. Tier 3 demonic beasts were even too many to enumerate.


    Furthermore, for quite a long time, they rehearsed the Seven Star Ephemeris Grand Array incomparably proficiently. Their combat strengths were very daunting.


    "White Light, Yuan Fei, give me a hundred breaths of time. I''ll kill him then!" Ye Yuan said calmly.


    "Roar! Leave it to me, Big Brother!"


    "Yes, Young Master!"


    Shangguan Yunrong never would have thought that both side''s situation would undergo so many changes in a twinkle.


    Originally, his situation was a certain win. In this twinkle of an eye, Ye Yuan let out a large crowd of demonic beasts, instantly reversing the plot.


    He was still solemnly swearing to kill Ye Yuan prior to this. Just how long had it been? It was actually Ye Yuan going to kill him!


    Shangguan Yunrong suddenly discovered a problem and said in terror, "Your . . . Your divine soul actually . . . actually recovered!"


    Shangguan Yunrong was fully immersed in the shock of White Light appearing prior this and did not pay attention to Ye Yuan at all.


    Who knew that in this short while, Ye Yuan''s divine soul already fully recovered!


    Although the present Ye Yuan still had injuries, his entire person''s aura had totally changed!


    He was already a genuine Soul Sea Realm expert!


    This discovery made Shangguan Yunrong dumbstruck with amazement. Wasn''t Ye Yuan already severely wounded and on the verge of death previously?


    Why was it that in a twinkle, he was actually as good as new?


    Furthermore, the divine soul getting injured was the most troublesome. It was exceedingly hard to heal!


    What kind of miracle elixir could fully restore the divine soul in this short while?


    Shangguan Yunrong felt that his brain could not quite wrap itself around it. The things that happen to Ye Yuan were forever that inconceivable.


    How could he know that right at that moment the final bolt of purple lightning descended, the black bead and the golden characters in Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness finally reacted.


    The attack which originally had an irresistible force was directly absorbed by the black bead when it reached Ye Yuan''s divine soul!


    Then, the black bead quivered slightly and dropped a few powder-state black particles.


    The golden characters carried along those few grains of black powder and started treating Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul was like being bathed in the spring breeze, recovering to its peak state very quickly!


    Ye Yuan did not bother with Shangguan Yunrong''s astonishment. He sat down on the spot, consolidating his cultivation realm with all his strength!


    As a result of the heavenly tribulation''s baptism, Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea expanded rapidly. It finally formed an essence energy sea with a circumference of 3000 feet!


    When Shangguan Yunrong saw this scene, the expression on his face became exceedingly fascinating.


    At this moment, his mind only had one word, and that was ''run''!


    Shangguan Yunrong flicked his sleeves and brought Shangguan Lingyun along, wanting to flee.


    However, White Light already broke through to Peak Tier 4 now. His speed was already unbelievably fast.


    The reason why Flowing Light White Tigers were called Flowing Light White Tigers was that their speed was unparalleled in the world.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s figure had just moved, and White Light already arrived in front of him.


    Shangguan Yunrong was secretly startled and had no choice but to turn back and face the enemy.


    Bang!


    Another intense clash. The one human and one tiger both fell back several steps.


    "Roar!"


    White Light roared angrily again, as if he was mocking Shangguan Yunrong.


    If Shangguan Yunrong knew the universal beast language, he would understand what White Light was saying.


    "My big brother says that he wants to kill you, so you must die!"

 621 Obliterating with a Punch!

    Shangguan Yunrong was terrified. But no matter how far he ran, he could not escape out of White Light''s palm either.


    That terrifying speed of White Light made Shangguan Yunrong at a loss on what to do.


    His attacks could not even touch White Light''s skin and fur at all. But White Light kept on tangling with him, making him not have the chance to escape at all.


    White Light was actually still a notch weaker than Shangguan Yunrong in terms of strength. After all, he was formerly a Third Level Divine Traversing expert, even though now his strength was at the First Level Divine Traversing Realm.


    But White Light did not come into direct contact with him at all. He just adopted harassment tactics.


    His goal was to delay for a hundred breaths.


    Presently, Chu Shi and the others became more enthusiastic the more they killed. They initially came harboring the resolve to die. Who knew that so many demonic beasts suddenly appeared in front to help. This made them suddenly feel that happiness came too suddenly.


    "Haha! Didn''t I say that Mister Ye will be fine? Following Mister Ye, eating meat and drinking soup are a cinch!" Chu Shi said with a big laugh.


    "Too awesome! Did you guys hear earlier or not? Mister Ye said to take his life in a hundred breaths of time. That is a high and lofty Divine Traversing Realm expert. Mister Ye just broke through to Soul Sea and is going to f*ck a Divine Traversing Realm expert!" Zhu Changzhi was excited too as he said this.


    "Impressive!" Qian Si pierced through a Soul Sea Realm martial artist with a stab. He still did not forget to jab in verbally as a supporter role.


    All of a sudden, Shangguan Yunrong said with a roar, "You d*mn tiger! No end to it, is it? It''s you who forced me!"


    Rumble!


    Shangguan Yunrong''s aura suddenly erupted. His body radiated an aura of red light.


    "Bloodthirsty Art!"


    Shangguan Yunrong''s aura suddenly skyrocketed. His speed and offensive power rose tremendously!


    Although his cultivation realm did not break through, his combat power increased greatly.


    What was more damnable was that his speed actually soared in a blink of an eye and caught up to White Light''s speed!


    White Light also did not expect that this Shangguan Yunrong actually still had a card to play. For a while, he was forced to fall back repeatedly.


    The two people''s exchange was like sparks flying off a flint. Ordinary people''s visual prowess simply could not catch up to the two people''s speed.


    Bang!


    Shangguan Yunrong sent White Light flying out with a punch but did not continue following after to exploit the victory. Instead, he borrowed the rebound force of this blow to escape with even greater speed.


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, we''ll have a chance to meet again! In the future, when my condition recovers to the peak, I''ll come and find you again!" Shangguan Yunrong''s figure flew away, only leaving behind this one sentence.


    White Light looked at Shangguan Yunrong''s distant back view and could not help being vexed.


    With this tussle, even if his speed was any faster, he could not catch up to Shangguan Yunrong either.


    Shangguan Yunrong was just being pleased with himself when a voice sounded out beside his ear, seemingly transmitting from the netherworld.


    "Why so anxious to leave? I transcended the dual-colored lightning tribulations and haven''t had the time to greet you!"


    Shangguan Yunrong felt his scalp tingle. Whose voice could it be if not Ye Yuan''s?


    His figure stopped abruptly, and he turned around to look. But he did not even see a soul.


    "Stop searching already. I''m over here," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s heart thumped. Turning back once more, indeed, he saw Ye Yuan standing right in front of him.


    No idea since when, Ye Yuan actually ran in front of him.


    Shangguan Yunrong''s heart sunk to the bottom. Since Ye Yuan could run in front of him, that meant that his movement was even faster than his!


    Wanting to run, there was probably no chance already!


    Except, he could not figure out no matter how he racked his brains, Ye Yuan had merely just broken through to the First Level Soul Sea . . .


    En? No, wait!


    Ye Yuan actually directly reached Third Level Soul Sea!


    Shangguan Yunrong suddenly remembered something. His expression changed and he said solemnly, "Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!"


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Looks like you''re still quite knowledgeable. That''s right, it''s precisely Origin Spirit Nine Transformations. Now, do you still have any last words? En . . . either way, I won''t help you to fulfill them either."


    Shangguan Yunrong''s face turned back, and he said ferociously, "Want to kill me? That will also have to shatter a mouthful of your teeth!"


    Shangguan Yunrong was naturally unwilling to resign himself to fate. He instantly gathered a titanic amount of heaven and earth essence energy.


    Even if his cultivation realm had been blasted down, Shangguan Yunrong was still a Divine Traversing Realm expert. This commotion was truly outrageous!


    "Bloodthirsty Demonic Palm!"


    A terrifying attack howled towards Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan similarly unleashed his move unhurriedly, as if he did not care about Shangguan Yunrong''s move at all.


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    The fiery-red colossal dragon carried along a terrifying power and attacked Shangguan Yunrong.


    This punch was God knows how many times stronger than when Ye Yuan was at the Sea Transformation Realm. It was even more powerful than the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Under Shangguan Yunrong''s terrified gaze, the colossal dragon directly gobbled up his palm force, and then pounced towards him.


    Rumble!


    "Ahh! Ye Yuan, it''s not so easy for you to want to escape this easily!" At death''s door, Shangguan Yunrong struggled to yell out.


    Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage landed on Shangguan Yunrong''s body without any suspense, directly blasting him into mince!


    The might of one fist was terrifying to the max!


    Right at this time, a wisp of black air floated in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he waved his hand, wanting to flick it away.


    Yet, that wisp of black air ignored his essence energy and directly bore into his palm, forming a black mark.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he muttered to himself, "The power of a curse! This Shangguan Yunrong really leaves no peace behind even if he died!"


    "Big Brother! I . . . Sorry about that." White Light already came to Ye Yuan''s side at this time and said embarrassedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s fine. Just nice one hundred breaths of time. You already did very well! Really didn''t think that refining one tiger bone can actually let you directly broke through to peak Tier 4! Advancing another step and you''ll be able to transcend the tribulation and take form!"


    "Haha! You don''t know how agitated I was when I saw that tiger bone back then! That was a peak Tier 4 Blackflame Tiger''s tiger bone. To you humans, it can just refine some medicinal pills. But to me, it''s a priceless natural treasure! When I saw it, I snatched it over without hesitation," White Light said.


    Ye Yuan recalled the scenario of White Light snatching the tiger bone back then and could not help laughing heartily.


    "Alright. Since you''ve already broken through to peak Tier 4, wait until I gather up the medicinal herbs for a Shapeshifting Pill. Then I''ll help you refine a Shapeshifting Pill and aid you to break through to Tier 5!" Ye Yuan said.


    White Light jumped up excitedly when he heard that, "Haha! I knew that Big Brother is the best! Thanks a lot, Big Brother!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "What are you still being courteous with me for? Just now, if not for you just happens to break through, I probably wouldn''t have any way of standing here perfectly fine now!"


    Ye Yuan and White Light, the two people, were currently chatting. When those Fierce Gale World martial artists saw their side''s Divine Traversing Realm expert being killed off with a punch, how could they still have the thoughts of fighting? They immediately fled helter-skelter.


    Chu Shi and and the others also gathered around at this time. Ye Yuan clasped his hands when he saw them and said, "Thank you very much, everyone."


    Chu Shi repeatedly said dare not, "What''s Mister Ye saying here? Our lives were all saved by Mister Ye. Without you, we couldn''t possibly have escaped from Crimsonlight City at all! Moreover, we didn''t really help by coming either. Rather, we''ve let Mister Ye seen a joke."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Alright everyone, do away with the polite remarks. We shouldn''t stay for long in this place. City Lord, Chu Shi, you guys hurry up and bring the Crimsonlight City martial artists and leave!"

 622 Forbidden Death Zone

    Ye Yuan''s words made Chu Shi and the others stupefied.


    "Mister Ye, what do you mean? Aren''t you going back together with us?" Chu Shi said puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan revealed the black mark in his hand for everyone to see, shook his head, and then said, "That Shangguan Yunrong planted a divine soul curse on me before dying. The Fierce Gale World''s Divine Traversing Realm experts can definitely track me based on this curse. Those Divine Traversing Realm expert are probably on their way already. If I follow you guys, you can''t escape. Their target is me. As long as I''m not together with you, you all should be able to escape successfully."


    When everyone saw that black mark in Ye Yuan''s hand, they involuntarily drew a cold breath.


    "This . . . Then you going by yourself, isn''t it too dangerous?" Zhu Changzhi said worriedly.


    "Yeah. Let''s also quickly notify the alliance and let them send experts to rendezvous with us!" Qin Yan said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It''s too late! Alright, don''t be long-winded. You guys hurry up and leave. I have my own ways to avoid their pursuit."


    Zhu Changzhi was still going to say something but was held back by Chu Shi who said, "We''ll only be Mister Ye''s burden by following him. If he goes alone, he might be safer instead. Alright, let''s go."


    After everyone left, Yuan Fei carried Shangguan Lingyun in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Young Master, how to deal with this fellow?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Kill him!"


    Shangguan Lingyun''s expression changed, and he said savagely, "Ye Yuan, even if you kill me, you''ll die a horrible death too! Uncle Rong has already planted a divine soul curse! Even if you flee to the ends of the world, you''ll be killed by Family Head too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "You''re thinking too much. Just a tiny little divine soul curse, that''s all. It''s a little troublesome, but to take my life, it''s still lacking!"


    Very quickly, Yuan Fei disposed of Shangguan Lingyun. A Fierce Gale World''s young genius of his generation fell just like that.


    "Big Brother, where are you going now?" White Light asked.


    "The Endless Forest!" Ye Yuan said without any hesitation.


    . . . . . .


    On a spirit boat several million miles away from Crimsonlight City, a black mark suddenly appeared on Ding Liang''s palm.


    Seeing this black mark, Ding Liang''s brows could not help furrowing.


    "This is Shangguan Yunrong''s divine soul curse. He knew that Shangguan Wenrui sent me to hunt down Ye Yuan, so he sent the mark over to me! Looks like Shangguan Yunrong and Lan Shun have both fallen already. Could it be that Ye Yuan killed them? That isn''t very likely, right? According to the news sent over previously, Ye Yuan should be transcending the tribulation to break through to the Soul Sea Realm. Even if he succeeds in breaking through, it''s also not possible to be Shangguan Yunrong''s match! Could it be that there are even stronger people in Crimsonlight City? But if it''s really like that, why wasn''t there any news sent over from there?"


    Ding Liang could not figure out after racking his brains and was at a loss regarding Crimsonlight City''s situation.


    This curse mark was only a fuzzy response. It would not send over all of the information.


    Based on this curse mark, Ding Liang could find Ye Yuan. But he did not know if this pursuit target was Ye Yuan or not.


    But looking at the intel currently grasped, clearly, Ye Yuan''s suspicion was the greatest.


    "Screw it. As long as I catch this fellow, I''ll naturally know who he is! Hopefully, this person is really Ye Yuan. That will save me a great deal of trouble! It''s a pity that the set-up over there has already reached a critical time but keeps on transferring manpower out non-stop. It''s really troublesome! Ye Yuan, oh, Ye Yuan, I knew that you weren''t something that belongs in a pond back then. But isn''t your rise up a little too rapid as well?"


    All of a sudden, Ding Liang''s brows furrowed. He discovered that Ye Yuan was currently speeding towards the southern direction with extreme speed.


    "Heh, thinking of running? How can it be so easy? With this curse mark, even if you run to the ends of the world, how can you escape my palm?"


    Ding Liang deployed the profound artifact spirit boat with a gesture and chased after in the southern direction with tremendous speed.


    . . . . . .


    To humans, the Endless Forest was very perilous. But as long as one''s strength was sufficiently strong, they could still rely on their own strength to fly over.


    But in the Endless Forest, there was a region known as Forbidden Death Zone. Even peak Divine Traversing Realm experts did not dare to cut across either, regardless whether was it through the land or via the sky.


    The total area of this region was very vast, but it had borders.


    Head south ten thousand miles from the Northern Domain was the borders of this Forbidden Death Zone.


    This Forbidden Death Zone extended for a hundred thousand miles. Only outside of this hundred thousand mile radius was the area that humans could move about in.


    Of course, the Endless Forest''s size was far from just a hundred thousand miles. So the area that humans could enter was still very huge.


    Otherwise, the South and North, two regions, were really going to be isolated for life.


    And Ye Yuan''s current destination was precisely this Forbidden Death Zone!


    Although he did not know who the Fierce Gale World would send to hunt him down, Ye Yuan dared to confirm that it should be at least a middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm expert.


    Such an expert, he could not defeat the person no matter what.


    If he wanted to live, he could only force himself into a hopeless situation with no way out so that he would fight back desperately.


    By the time Ye Yuan came to the three thousand mile region, he already put away the spirit boat and went on foot.


    Because spirit boats pursued speed, their defensive strengths were generally very weak. Once they entered the territories of high ranking demonic beasts, it was very easy to suffer the attacks of flying-type demonic beasts. If the spirit boat was damaged because of this, then the loss outweighed the gain.


    But along the way, Ye Yuan''s progress was rather fast.


    With White Light following him and giving off the power of a divine beast, the beasts all submitted along the way.


    That power intimidated the forest like a tiger''s roar throughout the whole journey!


    "Haha! Sweet!"


    Although White Light''s body became large, he still had a child''s disposition.


    Teasing those low ranking demonic beasts, he felt very good about himself at present.


    Ye Yuan chuckled when he saw the situation and said, "Your white tiger clan is the king of all beasts! Look at you, so childish!"


    "Heh heh, Big Brother, you don''t know how arduous it was for my mother and me to survive in the Endless Forest. If not for running into you, I wouldn''t even be able to beat that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python, let alone talk about being whatever king of all beasts! Now that my strength is powerful, coming back to the Endless Forest again is to let those fellows who bullied my family before to prostrate!"


    Although White Light said these while grinning, in his words revealed some forlornness.


    When Ye Yuan hear White Light say so, he was filled with a vicissitude of emotions too.


    Recalling when he met White Light back then, White Light was young and immature like a kitten.


    Now, several years had passed. White Light already grew into a true king of all beasts.


    Him returning to the Endless Forest again to regain face was also something within reason.


    "En. In the future, us brothers will mature together. We''re going to let everyone who bullies us come and prostrate before us!" Ye Yuan also said with a grand, lofty sentiment.


    "Haha! That''s of course! Me, this divine beast, plus Big Brother, this freakish monster, whoever runs into us have to submit too!" White Light said with a big laugh.


    "Ye Yuan, it''s actually really you! You actually killed Shangguan Yunrong! Truly remarkable! However, today, you won''t have that good fortune like during the previous time!"


    Right at this time, Ding Liang who had been in hot pursuit finally made it!

 623 Great Pursuit and Escape

    Towards Ding Liang''s arrival, Ye Yuan was not too flustered.


    Not that he was not worried, but he was pretending to be unconcerned.


    If he was not worried, why would he barge into this freaking Forbidden Death Zone?


    "Huhu, truly, enemies meet on a narrow path. Didn''t expect that Shangguan Yunrong''s curse mark was actually passed to you!" Ye Yuan said very nonchalantly.


    When Ding Liang saw Ye Yuan''s manner, he said coolly, "Are you pretending to be relaxed? You don''t think that you can still escape from my hands this time, right?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Even Zhao Tianyin couldn''t hold me back and even needed to kowtow and admit his fault in front of me. Just the likes of you wish to make me stay?""


    Ding Liang''s expression changed, his face instantly becoming as black as the bottom of a pot.


    The Central Capital battle, the ones who knew the outcome were only him, Ding Liang, and people of Star Abyss''s lineage.


    That battle was not just the Wind Emperor, His Majesty''s disgrace, it was also all the Fierce Gale World martial artists'' shame!


    The invincible Wind Emperor actually kowtowed towards a Crystal Formation Realm brat. That was simply unprecedented humiliation!


    "You shut your mouth for me! If I don''t kill you today, I''m lesser than human!"


    "Heh heh, then you''ll really not be able to be human today! You were present on that day. You should know that I have a powerful helper, right?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Ding Liang''s expression changed as he recalled that terrifying woman on that day.


    Even the Wind Emperor did not have the slightest strength to resist under her hands. That woman''s horror could be imagined.


    But he remembered the Wind Emperor''s words again; the Wind Emperor had said that woman naturally had people to deal with her. This actually caused his nerves to ease up a little.


    "Humph! Is she really around? Why don''t you call her out for me to take a look!" Ding Liang said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan was secretly startled. Could it be that this Ding Liang knew something?


    How could he have known that in an accident arising from many causes, Ding Liang was also considered to have hit the mark by a fluke?


    Yue Mengli''s present condition was just coming out to intimidate people a bit. He did not expect that this Ding Liang did not fall for it at all!


    But Ye Yuan obviously would not give up hope so easily. He said coolly, "Li-er, somebody wants to meet you. Show yourself for an appearance then!"


    Under Ding Liang''s horrified gaze, Yue Mengli really appeared!


    "Last time, I spared your life. Didn''t think that you still don''t know how what''s good for you!" Yue Mengli glared angrily and said, and she was about to muster heaven and earth essence energy.


    Seeing Yue Mengli, Ding Liang''s scalp really exploded. How could he still care about killing Ye Yuan? He turned around and fled desperately with all his might.


    Ding Liang wished that his parents had given him a pair of wings to let him be able to fly a bit faster.


    Ding Liang was an Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm expert. In a twinkle, he already flew out several hundred miles away.


    All of a sudden, Ding Liang was startled with a jerk and discovered that something was not quite right!


    If that striking beauty really wanted to kill him, how could he possibly escape?


    Also, if that woman was really that powerful, why would Ye Yuan go deep into a dangerous place as well?


    Played by this fellow!


    Although he did not know what happened, that woman definitely had no way of helping Ye Yuan!


    Otherwise just now, a hundred of him would be dead too!


    Sensing the curse mark again, Ye Yuan had indeed sped like the wind in the opposite direction.


    Ding Liang, as an upper echelon of the Fierce Gale World, was not foreign to the Endless World. He knew that the place around two thousand miles ahead was the Forbidden Death Zone.


    He understood that this was Ye Yuan wanting to force himself into a desperate situation so that he could risk it all. With this tussle, both parties instantly pulled apart close to a thousand miles!


    "Damn brat!"


    Ding Liang gritted his teeth and raise his speed to the limits, chasing after Ye Yuan.


    "Big Brother, this fellow''s movement speed is too fast!" White Light said anxiously as he ran.


    Although Flowing Light White Tigers'' forte was speed, Ding Liang''s cultivation realm was much higher than theirs. His movement speed was naturally a great deal faster compared to theirs as well.


    Although Ye Yuan used a trick to scare Ding Liang away, this fellow''s reaction speed was still pretty fast. He actually chased after so quickly.


    "You just care about running forward. Leave the rest to me!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Big Brother, you have to be careful!"


    The two people sped like the wind while communicating how to deal with it. In a blink, they sprinted for several hundred miles.


    But how fast was Ding Liang''s speed? In just this short while, he already shrunk the distance between both parties to only a distance of two hundred miles!


    Both parties'' strengths were too powerful. The places that they pass through, even Tier 4 demonic beasts had to give a wide berth!


    "Ye Yuan! Wait until this old man catches up to you! I must flay your skin and pull out your tendons to be able to dispel the hatred in my heart!"


    Ding Liang had long been enraged to the limits. Being fooled by Ye Yuan this brat, how could he, this old monster, not be furious?


    "Old fogey, if you have the capabilities, then chase all the way into the Forbidden Death Zone!" Ye Yuan replied.


    "Boy, you don''t be cocky! If you have the capabilities, run inside first before talking!"


    "Old fogey, you don''t be cocky! If you have the capabilities, catch up first before talking!"


    The two people''s feet did not ease up for a second, but their mouths started quarreling.


    Seeing as both parties'' gap was getting smaller and smaller, Ding Liang''s aura already rose to the peak!


    Even when separated by such a great distance, Ye Yuan could also feel the other party''s horrifying pressure.


    Looks like this old punk was really infuriated by him!


    Two hundred miles . . .


    One hundred miles . . .


    Fifty miles . . .


    Both party''s gap was getting increasingly smaller, while Ye Yuan''s distance away from the Forbidden Death Zone was also getting lesser and lesser!


    Finally, when there were still several miles away from the Forbidden Death Zone, Ding Liang caught up to Ye Yuan!


    "White Light, go!"


    Ye Yuan already had no time to keep White Light into the Vast Heaven Pagoda at this time. He could only let him enter the Forbidden Death Zone first.


    As for what this Forbidden Death Zone had, Ye Yuan did not know either!


    Perhaps this was his survival path, or maybe it was actually his death gate!


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long thought it out clearly. Since he revived, he was indeed intertwined with a great destiny. Several incidences of hopeless situations, he turned the dangers all into safety.


    Perhaps this so-called Forbidden Death Zone was his survival path too!


    Therefore, that was why Ye Yuan was willing to take his chances!


    Under Ye Yuan''s instructions, White Light leaped and vanished.


    And Ye Yuan himself turned around abruptly and faced Ding Liang coldly.


    "Stinking brat, prepare to die!"


    Ding Liang did not have the slightest hesitation. Straight away, it was his strongest attack!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all as well. He directly fished out a Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman and threw it over at Ding Liang.


    Ding Liang originally attacked in rage and already calculated that Ye Yuan was dead for sure. Who knew that Ye Yuan suddenly pulled out such a powerful weapon!


    This Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman was equivalent to a peak Divine Traversing Realm''s attack. The might of its power could be imagined!


    But Ye Yuan also knew that this Ding Liang was an Eighth Level Divine Traversing expert after all. For this Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman to want to kill him, it was still a little lacking.


    So after he threw out the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman, Ye Yuan immediately turned around and ran madly.


    There was not much essence energy left in his body at this time. But Ye Yuan''s present physical body was extremely formidable too. Even without the support of essence energy, running for a few days and nights was not an issue either.


    Rumble!


    A massive impact sounded out. Ding Liang muffled groan came from behind Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back, running over towards the Forbidden Death Zone!


    Ahead was a mass of dense fog.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate the slightest bit, plunging headlong inside . . .

 624 A Gamble!

    Bang!


    Ding Liang suddenly struck a palm out, shattering a large tree by the side into smithereens. It could be seen just how immense the fury in his heart was.


    Calculated everything and he still could not predict that Ye Yuan actually had a Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman!


    This time, not only did he not catch Ye Yuan, he even let himself suffer considerable injuries instead.


    To think that he was still swearing solemnly before, saying that Ye Yuan could not escape this time. In the end, he still ran away.


    Facing the layers upon layers of dense fog ahead, Ding Liang was somewhat shrinking back.


    He knew that behind this dense fog was human martial artists'' forbidden land. Even peak Divine Traversing Realm experts would also not come out again when entering this Forbidden Death Zone.


    En . . . Accurately speaking, they did come back. It was just that what came back was just a corpse.


    According to the information that the Fierce Gale World collected, this Forbidden Death Zone was the Endless World''s most terrifying place. Even His Majesty did not dare to step foot inside too.


    Before departing, Zhao Tianyin repeated exhorted the few of them just two matters.


    One of it was to not provoke the Endless Forest''s demonic beasts. Most importantly, to absolutely not enter the Forbidden Death Zone!


    The other matter was to be sure to kill Ye Yuan!


    Now, these two matters actually miraculously overlapped together.


    Then . . . could this Forbidden Death Zone kill Ye Yuan or not?


    Ding Liang pondered, a place where even His Majesty did not dare to step foot into, Ye Yuan could not possibly survive, right?


    Ding Liang suddenly recalled something. Reaching his hand out and taking a look at the curse mark in his hand, his expression could not help changing. He actually lost connection to Ye Yuan''s curse mark!


    This Forbidden Death Zone was truly abnormal. To actually be able to cut off the response between the curse marks!


    This divine soul curse was extremely malicious. It was like a bone infesting maggot. As long as the person inflicted by the curse did not die, this curse would never ever be removed.


    Even Ding Liang, this Eighth Level Divine Traversing expert, was unable to accomplish cutting off this response. But this Forbidden Death Zone could!


    "Screw it. I''ll just wait here and do nothing! This boy is bloody freaky. If he can really come out from there, then it won''t be easy to handle! Either way, as long as he leaves the Forbidden Death Zone, no matter where he walks to, I''ll be able to sense it!"


    Ding Liang made a decision very quickly.


    . . . . . .


    "White Light, where are you?"


    In the dense fog, Ye Yuan called out White Light''s name repeatedly. But did not get any response.


    In front of his eyes was completely a stretch of haziness. Nothing could be seen at all.


    All the way until Ye Yuan walked for an entire day''s time in this dense fog did he finally confirmed two things.


    One of it was that he got separated from White Light!


    The other thing was that . . . he was lost!


    This dense fog was seemingly expansive. No matter how he walked, he could not reach the end too.


    With Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience, he did not know what the hell this dense fog was either.


    But Ye Yuan could confirm one thing; this dense fog was currently devouring the essence energy within his body!


    This one day and one night, Ye Yuan did not do anything at all, but the essence energy in his body was actually only left with two-thirds of the original!


    At this rate, there was still three days'' time, and then the essence energy in his body would be completely fully exhausted.


    This bit, Ye Yuan was not very worried. Coming out this time, he brought sufficient medicinal pills on him and was totally able to sustain for a very long time.


    What Ye Yuan was worried about was that he would be lost in this dense fog all the way.


    That was the most terrifying thing!


    This dense fog did not seem to have anything at all; it was deathly still, as if there was only Ye Yuan alone left in the entire world . . . and this dense fog.


    This sort of feeling virtually made people feel despair!


    No wonder the Endless World''s people all called this place as the Forbidden Death Zone. Even if peak Divine Traversing Realm experts entered, facing this boundless gray fog, they would probably go crazy in the end too.


    Even if you had unparalleled magical abilities, you could not find a passageway to give vent either.


    Furthermore, it was very clear that the more you expend essence energy, the faster you die!


    In the gray fog, regardless where you walk to, all of the scenery was the exact same; all a stretch of haziness. There was completely no way of differentiating what place you walked through just now.


    Under such an environment, wanting to walk out of the dense fog was simply an impossible matter!


    Two whole days, Ye Yuan just walked like this, seemingly aimlessly. As he walked, before his eyes were forever a stretch of gray haziness.


    During this period, Ye Yuan consumed a medicinal pill, restoring his essence energy to the optimum state.


    But at this time, his essence energy was only left with two-thirds again.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan finally could not walk anymore.


    He suddenly stopped, crossed his legs and sat down, and actually started visualizing the ''Lin'' word formula!


    "This dense fog isn''t an array formation. But I feel that I''m walking around in circles continuously! It looks like I''ve walked for two days and nights and seemed to have walked very far, but actually, I didn''t walk out very far at all! Even with my heart realm maintaining Heart Like Still Water state, it also can''t see through this dense fog. Since that''s the case, then I can only break through Heart Realm to be rescued from the hopeless situation!"


    Although this place did not have fighting, this dense fog was Ye Yuan''s greatest adversary!


    Forbidden Death Zone was truly not an undeserved reputation!


    With Ye Yuan''s knowledge and experience, he actually could not find the slightest clue after walking for two days and nights.


    But Ye Yuan had a faint supernatural feeling, and that was that he had been walking in circles all along!


    This was only faintly detected by him while under the Heart Like Still Water Realm.


    It could be seen that if there wasn''t extremely high Heart Realm boundary, even if your cultivation was any higher, there was only waiting for death here!


    Even if Ye Yuan''s Heart Realm already reached an extremely high level, it also took two whole days to have that tiny hint of fuzzy awareness!


    It could be seen that the fame of this perilous land was truly not a joke.


    The terror of this Forbidden Death Zone absolutely surpassed all of the predicaments that Ye Yuan had encountered since he revived!


    Because the predicament that he met with this time was something he had no way of resolving even with the knowledge that he carried over from reviving!


    What people were most terrified of was the unknown. It was no exception to Ye Yuan as well!


    When all of his knowledge could not be put to use, this was naturally his most difficult time.


    Even if Ye Yuan faintly had a feeling, he did not know whether his feeling was right or not either.


    Even if his feeling was correct, Ye Yuan also did not know if he could break through Heart Realm before his recovery medicinal pills were consumed entirely!


    Everything was not definite!


    Ye Yuan did not have the choice right now. He could only go and gamble!


    Gamble that his hint of inspiration was not wrong!


    Of course, this was also just Ye Yuan. If it were other martial artists, even if Zhao Tianyin came personally, he might not have this chance to gamble.


    No matter how high their cultivation realms were, who could reach the height of Ye Yuan''s Heart Realm boundary?


    According to Ye Yuan''s deduction, if he wanted to see through this dense fog, Heart Like Still Water was already inadequate.


    Which was also to say that he had to break through to Heart Like Monolith Realm!


    This Heart Realm boundary, even in the Divine Realm, it was a realm of the legends too!


    However, Ye Yuan really did not know if his current Heart Like Still Water had really reached the pinnacle or not.


    If he really succeeded in breaking through but did not reach Heart Like Monolith Realm, then that would really be fun.


    All in all, everything was a gamble!

 625 Heart Like Monolith, Immovable by the Eight Winds!

    Ye Yuan was racing against time!


    He had to successfully form the ''Lin'' character''s second hand seal before his medicinal pills were depleted!


    The difficulty of the first form was already so great, much less than the second form.


    Furthermore, different from the visualization previously, Ye Yuan had to interrupt the visualization every two to three days to stop and consume medicinal pills to restore essence energy.


    Essence energy depleted for a long time would cause irreversible damage to the martial artist''s essence energy sea and would cause their cultivation realm to fall. Ye Yuan did not wish to take such a risk.


    The second hand seal form was a continuation of the first hand seal form. But Ye Yuan''s attempt in forming the seal was not that smooth.


    Two days passed and Ye Yuan could not even achieve the most minimum seal.


    What Ye Yuan visualized was only a fuzzy hand seal. There was simply no way of forming the seal.


    The condensation of a hand seal, even if it were just off by a fraction, the final outcome would also be a failure.


    But Ye Yuan did not even cross the threshold yet right now!


    Condensing hand seals like this required him to expend large amounts of essence energy too. This sped up Ye Yuan''s essence energy consumption even more.


    This gray fog did not have the slightest essence energy replenishment. Ye Yuan could only continuously recover his essence energy through medicinal pills.


    This way, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills expenditure speed clearly hastened considerably.


    When it reached the fifth day, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills was already depleted by half!


    At the rate of such consumption speed, Ye Yuan could at most still last for five day''s time!


    Experiencing so many great storms and waves, Ye Yuan''s heart realm had long become incomparable from the past.


    Expending these medicinal pills, Ye Yuan did not even blink his eyes. It was as if his medicinal pills were unlimited.


    And all of his energy was placed on visualizing the ''Lin'' character!


    On the fifth day, Ye Yuan finally had a breakthrough in condensing the hand seal!


    In these five days, Ye Yuan was more focused than any time in the past.


    The second hand seal of the ''Lin'' character that Ye Yuan was visualizing finally became clear.


    But this was only the beginning. The remainder of the time, Ye Yuan had to strive with all his might to condense this hand seal. This was the most crucial step!


    Condensing the hand seal was not such an easy process. Every attempt to from it, there was seemingly a kind of invisible energy pushing his two hands apart.


    Ye Yuan was not baffled by these troubles. Because he could clearly sense it now, his Heart Realm was rising.


    First day, second day, third day . . .


    When it reached the fourth day, Ye Yuan finally broke through the barrier and completed the second hand seal!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s Heart Realm seemed to have opened a floodgate, suddenly becoming enlightened.


    At this instant, Ye Yuan felt like his divine soul was seemingly going to leave his body.


    That sort of feeling was as if he was placed high in the clouds, completely relaxed and carefree!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan suddenly felt like the entire world became different.


    This sort of feeling simply could not be described using words!


    If one must use a term to describe it, that was ''viewing the mountain, as not a mountain."


    "So, this is Heart Like Monolith? Heart Like Monolith, immovable by the eight winds! Indifferent to benefits, decline, ruin, fame, praise, mockery, bitterness, and joy. Heart Realm will not be moved by external things!"


    Ye Yuan felt that his understanding of this world transcended far too much compared to previously.


    This was a brand new realm!


    Ye Yuan opened both eyes. The dense fog before his eyes was still that dense fog and did not seem to be any different.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and shut his eyes again.


    Since his eyes could not see through this dense fog, then he should use his heart to look!


    Ye Yuan strode forward, only following his heart to walk.


    On the tenth day, when Ye Yuan opened both eyes once more, the dense fog before his eyes actually disappeared. He was actually situated in a forest again.


    "En? This is . . . the Endless Forest? No, wait, could it be . . . the Endless Forest after the dense fog?"


    Although the scenery almost the same as the Endless Forest, Ye Yuan discovered very soon the aspects which were different here. That was that the thickness of heaven and earth essence energy was on a completely different level from outside!


    One could say that the heaven and earth essence energy at any place in the Endless World could not compare to here!


    With Ye Yuan''s experience and knowledge, he could still confirm one point, that was that any small world''s heaven and earth essence energy could not possibly reach the level here as well!


    Cultivating here, the speed would absolutely be multiple times of the outside world''s!


    Ye Yuan never would have thought that the Endless World actually still had such a place.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked forward but was clicking his tongue in marvel inwardly.


    He did not walk far, but he already saw quite a few kinds of Tier 4 spirit medicines. Furthermore, they were all extremely valuable spirit medicines. This place was simply a treasure land!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous, conveniently keeping those Tier 4 spirit medicines into his bag.


    Tier 4 spirit medicines, it just nice came in handy for him right now.


    Tier 4 spirit medicines were also precious items in the outside world. It was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to cast it away like some worn out shoes like before.


    Moreover, as an experienced alchemist, conveniently harvesting spirit medicines was a professional behavior.


    Yet, right when Ye Yuan was harvesting, alarm bells sounded!


    A sharp and fierce bolt of silk cloth appeared at his back bizarrely and was actually going to ambush him!


    Coming to a foreign place, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to lower his guard.


    In truth, he had been maintaining Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm all along. Any hint of subtle activity in the surroundings could not escape his observation.


    Not that Ye Yuan did not wish to stay in Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm, but he had just broken through not long ago. Walking out of that mass of dense fog previously already exhausted too much heart force. He was simply unable to maintain Heart Like Monolith state for a long time.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan seemed to have grown eyes at his back, abruptly shifting his position and avoiding this certain kill attack.


    Yet, that bolt of silk was akin to a shadow trailing close behind. It turned an odd angle in the air and came to pester Ye Yuan once more.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart. Although he had yet to see clearly who was ambushing him, he could confirm that the strength of this person ambushing was absolutely not beneath his!


    But Ye Yuan clearly did not have the intention of giving in. Borrowing the space opened up by the dodging, a sudden punch rumbled over.


    Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage carried a huge air billow and directly blew away the bolt of silk.


    "Yii?" From the forest, a faint puzzled voice came over. The person clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful.


    After this one blow, Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together too and he murmured under his breath, "Taking Form demons?"


    The so-called Taking Form demons were naturally referring to the Tier 5 demonic beast who were able to transformed into human form!


    Demonic beasts that transformed into human form, if they did not take the initiative to release demonic essence, it could not be seen from the outward appearance. They were no different from ordinary humans when they mix among humans and live.


    But once they executed martial techniques, their true form would be revealed.


    Although demonic beasts and humans both cultivated essence energy, the system of cultivation was entirely different.


    Demonic beasts integrated heaven and earth essence energy into the demonic core. The essence energy extracted and refined was known as demonic essence. There was a very big difference from human martial artists'' essence energy; it was very easy to differentiate.


    Ye Yuan was secretly depressed in his heart. Couldn''t be so lucky, right? Running into a Taking Form Stage demonic beast right after coming in?


    "This one has erroneously entered your honorable land. It''s truly unintentional. I hope that this Dao Friend can show yourself!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said towards a direction.


    Clearly, through that attack earlier, Ye Yuan had already determined the other party''s position.


    [Translator''s Note] Tidbit for ''immovable by the eight winds.'' It''s a Buddhist thing where if someone''s emotions are not stirred by any of the winds, they are immovable by the eight winds. The eight winds(things) are essentially being unmoved by benefits which follows success, decline that follows failure, ruin from slandering behind your back, fame from complimenting behind your back, praise from commending to your face, mockery from verbal abuse, bitterness from pain, joy from happiness.

 626 Repeated Provocation

    Three gorgeous figures floated down from the huge towering tree, making Ye Yuan unable to refrain from giving a sidelong glance.


    Each one of these three people was all kingdom toppling beauties. Mortals when seeing would surely be captivated by them.


    Even when Ye Yuan saw them, he also did not quite dare to believe that they were actually demonic beast who achieved Taking Form.


    The unparalleled beauty at the front said to Ye Yuan with glaring eyes, "Human who dares to break into my God Prohibited Demon Region, die!"


    But Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed when he heard that. Coming into here in order to avoid Ding Liang''s pursuit, Ye Yuan was aware that he was in the wrong. But yelling to kill right upon encounter made Ye Yuan very displeased.


    Furthermore, looking at these three people''s attitudes, it clearly would not be good. Most likely, no matter how he explained, the other party would not listen either, right?


    "Can the three ladies listen to a word from this one?" Ye Yuan still did not give up hope and held back his anger and said.


    He had barged into other people''s territory after all. If he could not attack, then it was best to not make a move.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly on alert in his heart. He ran into three Taking Form demons right after entering. Was his luck good, or were the strength of the demonic beasts here all this formidable?


    "No need to talk! No matter what reason you have, to dare barge into the God Prohibited Demon Region only leads to death! I''ll give you a chance. End yourself!" said the woman.


    When Ye Yuan heard, his brows involuntarily knitted together even tighter.


    This woman was beautiful; it was just that that high and mighty appearance made Ye Yuan very displeased.


    Ye Yuan did not have a good temper either. The other party already told him to end himself. Could this matter still be settled?


    He was just about to fly off the handle when a slightly younger girl revealed an expression of being unable to bear it and urged, "Elder Sister Yu Leng, maybe this human really has something that he can''t say. Why don''t we hear him out?"


    That beautiful girl called Yu Leng reproached, "What''s hard to say? Yu Shu, did you forget the ancestors'' teachings? As long as humans enter the God Prohibited Demon Region, summarily execute them without exception!"


    "This . . . "


    "Humph! Although we don''t know how he made it through the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog, since he entered here, we must follow the ancestors'' teachings and kill him!"


    The woman called Yu Leng was clearly unreasonable, prating on and on about killing, which also stoked Ye Yuan''s temper.


    "Heh heh, what a fine immediate execution without exception! I want to see just how you want to kill me!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Yu Leng looked at Ye Yuan disdainfully and said with a cold smile, "Do you think that by evading my attack just now, you can escape with your life from under my hands? You''re merely a little brat who just entered Soul Sea. Truly don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Forget it, since you aren''t willing to do it yourself, then I''ll send you on your way!"


    He did not even see Yu Leng take any action. But bolts of silk actually headed towards Ye Yuan once again bizarrely.


    Except that this time, regardless whether was it the angle or speed, it rose a great deal compared to before.


    Evidently, she also acknowledged Ye Yuan''s strength and pulled no punches.


    Ye Yuan just smiled coldly. Xuanying Sword was directly swung out!


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    Ten thousand long swords instantly formed and directly chopped down on the bolt of silk!


    Now that Ye Yuan broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, condensing the form of gathered essence was already effortless to him. Executing the Myriad Rain Sword Blades, this level of martial technique again, could naturally be done as he wished.


    And the power of the sword blades increased tremendously too. This could be seen a little from the outer appearance of the condensed form.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    The strength of a Tier 5 demon was naturally daunting to the extreme. Although Ye Yuan''s Myriad Rain Sword Blades was strong, it could not sever Yu Leng''s bolt of silk, but emitted the sounds of metal clashing.


    But even though it could not chop the silk into two, Ye Yuan''s Myriad Rain Sword Blades beat it back repeatedly.


    Seeing that the martial technique Ye Yuan casually unleashed was actually so formidable, Yu Leng''s expression finally became solemn.


    This human youth in front of her seemed to be somewhat extraordinary!


    She originally thought that Ye Yuan was just an ordinary genius martial artists; the kind that could cross boundaries to battle.


    But looking at it now, it was completely not the case.


    She still did not employ full strength earlier. But that attack just now, casually exterminating a Ninth Level Soul Sea martial artist would still be with ease. Using it to deal with a First Level Soul Sea brat, shouldn''t capturing him be also the same?


    Who knew that this boy was only First Level Soul Sea, but he actually beat her back repeatedly!


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "You, lass, are so unreasonable. Keep forcing me, and I won''t be courteous anymore!"


    This Yu Leng had merely just entered Taking Form too. In fact, she was even worse than the Shangguan Yunrong whose cultivation realm had fallen. Ye Yuan dealing with her was still plenty to spare.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was currently a stranger in a strange place right now, and he did not wish to stir up trouble. Moreover, although these three people were demons, they were dazzling beauties. Ye Yuan exercised forbearance time and again too. Otherwise, this Yu Leng provoking Ye Yuan repeatedly, Ye Yuan would have killed her long ago.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s words sounded laughable to the max to Yu Leng.


    She admitted that Ye Yuan''s strength was very formidable; much more formidable than she imagined.


    But to talk about him crossing a major cultivation realm to defeat her, Yu Leng would not believe even if she was beaten to death either.


    "Insolence! Lowly human, to actually dare utter wild ravings! Die!"


    Yu Leng cried out daintily. The bolt of silk attacked once more!


    "Jadesilk Flying Sword!"


    This time, Yu Leng really brought out the strength of a Tier 5. That bolt of silk was flooded with extremely powerful demonic essence, stretching out perfectly straight and stabbed towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan decided to give this little lass a little lesson and let her know that Young Master Ye was not to be trifled with!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s aura erupted abruptly, directly soaring to Third Level Soul Sea!


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Once Ye Yuan became serious, Yu Leng''s expression immediately changed drastically.


    This palm was too powerful!


    It was powerful until the extent where it could directly exterminate her!


    She never could have thought that a First Level Soul Sea youth could actually achieve the level of killing Tier 5 demons!


    What kind of concept was this?


    Tier 5 Taking Form was called demon race, while Tier 4 and below were called demonic beasts. From this, it could be seen how great the disparity between the two boundaries was!


    This was a mighty chasm that was difficult to cross!


    Yet, this youth before her eyes directly crossed this huge chasm!


    Strong!


    Too strong!


    The azure dragon struck the bolt of silk until it fragmented inch by inch like breaking a dead branch from a tree, then swept over directly towards Yu Leng.


    "Ah! Don''t hurt Elder Sister Yu Leng!"


    That girlie called Yu Shu actually blocked directly in front of Yu Leng, wanting to block this blow for her!


    Ye Yuan was also taken aback by this sudden unforeseen change and hurriedly flipped the palm force. The azure dragon headed for a massive tree that ten people could circle around with their arms and smashed over.


    Rumble!


    That towering great tree''s trunk was directly snapped. The huge tree fell down immediately.


    Seeing this scene, Yu Leng had long been frightened until her face was ashen already. How was there still any hint of the high and mighty wild arrogance?


    If this palm landed on her earlier, it was not to the extent of killing her. But severe injuries, that was a must.


    How could she know that this was still Ye Yuan holding back a bit? Or else, she would directly be the outcome of a beauty perishing.


    It was also that that little girl called Yu Shu helped Ye Yuan say a few words previously and made Ye Yuan have a pretty good impression of her, that was why he changed the direction of the attack at the last moment.


    If not, he would have to make that little lass called Yu Leng end up with a result of severe injuries no matter what.


    "D-Dragon race?" Yu Leng said somewhat disbelievingly.

 627 Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan

    Yu Leng still had a lingering fear in her heart at the moment. She looked at Ye Yuan, her face filled with astonishment.


    But Yu Shu had a muddled look. Her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with gratitude.


    She knew that Ye Yuan shifted the palm force just now. Otherwise, she would already be a corpse now.


    "Elder Sister Yu Leng, what did you say just now? Dragon race?" Yu Shu inquired curiously.


    Since just now, Yu Leng had been in a state of shock all along. All the way until Yu Shu inquired, did she come back to her senses.


    There was no way for her sense to be wrong. Ye Yuan''s attack just now was absolutely the strength of a true dragon!


    But how could a human brat possibly unleash the strength of a true dragon?


    The demon race had a strict hierarchy. The Four Great Divine Beasts were the races belonging at the top of the food chain.


    In front of the dragon race, low ranking demonic beasts would not even dare to raise their heads either, even if their cultivation realm was higher than the demonic race''s.


    Just like White Light, no matter where he walked to in the Endless Forest, he virtually did not need to attack, and myriad beasts would submit. The reason was the divine beast bloodline in his body!


    In the demon race, the compulsion of bloodline was at times even more effective than cultivation realm.


    "C-Can''t be wrong! I''d entered the Holy Land once before with First Elder and felt the pressure of the dragon race before. It was exactly the same as his earlier! But . . . But he''s just a human race brat. How can he possibly be of the dragon race?" Yu Leng already lost her bearings at this time, muttering under her breath.


    Yu Shu looked at Ye Yuan weirdly and asked, "Big Brother, you . . . you''re actually of the dragon race? If you''re of the dragon race, you naturally have the qualifications to enter God Prohibited Demon Region."


    Ye Yuan''s impressive of Yu Shu was pretty good, and she was not as cold and apathetic as Yu Leng. Or else, he would not have held back earlier.


    Seeing Yu Shu asking about it, Ye Yuan said very candidly, "To say that I''m of the dragon race, that''s fine. To say that I''m not, that works too. As for what it''s like, up to you all to decide. But if you want to kill me, I won''t show mercy!"


    Among these three people, Yu Leng was the out-and-out female leader. How the matter would be decided naturally needed her to give the order.


    After being shocked for a long time, Yu Leng finally came back to her senses and said to Ye Yuan, "This . . . This Brother, your matter, Yu Leng is unable to make the decision. The incident just now, I''ve offended you greatly. I hope that you won''t take offense. According to the rules of my God Prohibited Demon Region, humans are absolutely forbidden from taking a single step in. And you entering here, the elders in the clan are already aware. As for what course to follow, it will still have to wait for them to decide. Why not . . . Little Brother, you follow us back to the clan?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s show of strength earlier, she knew that she was far from being Ye Yuan''s match. Just now, if not for Ye Yuan showing leniency, how could she still be alive at this time?


    But the matter of Ye Yuan entering the God Prohibited Demon Region, the elders in the clan naturally knew already. Hence, that was why Yu Leng gave such an invitation.


    Ye Yuan was also very interested in this so-called God Prohibited Demon Region. He nodded his head at once and said, "Okay, I''ll follow you guys there!"


    . . . . . .


    The atmosphere along the way was very odd. Yu Leng was apprehensive and also on guard against Ye Yuan. Her entire person was wound up tightly, akin to facing a great enemy.


    Ye Yuan obviously knew her thoughts but paid no attention to it either.


    Rather, Yu Shu seemed to be filled with curiosity towards the outside world stuff, constantly asking this and that along the way.


    Ye Yuan did not refuse anything either, giving an account of the world outside for Yu Shu.


    Yu Leng wanted to interrupt the conversation between the two people several times but was stopped by Ye Yuan''s fierce look in his eyes.


    Only after entering Yu Leng trio sisters'' clan, did Ye Yuan know what the three people''s primary form was.


    Upon entering the clan, Ye Yuan was immediately surrounded by a large group of foxes.


    Towards this sort of foxes, Ye Yuan was not foreign at all. Their name was Jade Faced Fairy Foxes!


    "Elder Sister Yu Leng, who''s this man? He''s so good-looking!"


    "Elder Sister Yu Leng, this man seems to be a human? According to the stipulations of our God Prohibited Demon Region, doesn''t it say that when seeing humans, immediately execute them? But such a handsome man, killing is too much of a pity!"


    "Elder Sister Yu Leng, this man is so handsome. Why don''t you give him to me!"


    These Jade Faced Fairy Foxes had yet to take human form. But they were basically all Tier 4 demonic beasts; not far from Taking Form either.


    Seeing these Jade Faced Fairy Foxes, Ye Yuan was amazed in his heart too.


    Wasn''t the strength of this Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan too powerful? A group of little foxes that came out willy-nilly were all late-stage Tier 4 cultivation, being just a step away from taking form.


    Ye Yuan''s experience and knowledge were extraordinary. He knew that these Jade Faced Fairy Foxes'' age was not considered old in the demonic fox clan.


    Looking at it like this, the strength of this Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was likely more powerful compared to the entire Endless World!


    This way, Ye Yuan became somewhat curious about those so-called elders.


    Just what kind of strength were those people?


    "Heh heh, there''s no problem with you all liking Big Brother. But come and find Big Brother again after taking form! You guys are too tender and can''t bear it!" Ye Yuan used universal beast language and said with a broad smile.


    Once these words came out, everybody, including Yu Leng and Yu Shu, was all stunned.


    Turns out that these demon foxes only saw that Ye Yuan was good-looking and jested with Yu Leng. They completely did not count on Ye Yuan being able to understand.


    Who knew that not only did Ye Yuan understand the words they said, he even used universal beast language to give a reply!


    The chattering originally surrounding Ye Yuan were collectively petrified now.


    A blush actually suffused on the faces of some foxes. Clearly, they were very embarrassed.


    "You . . . You actually even know the universal beast language!" Yu Leng said in amazement.


    "Just universal beast language. Huhu, I even know that you guys are the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan!" Ye Yuan said with a wide grin.


    ". . . . . ." Yu Leng was utterly speechless.


    Apart from this young man giving off the smell of a human all over his body, he seemed to be no different from demonic beasts!


    The fox race had many branches. Their Jade Faced Fairy Fox was just one of the branch.


    Ye Yuan could actually accurately call out the name of their clan. Clearly, he was very familiar with the demon race!


    Just what kind of person was this young man?


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be concerned with Yu Leng''s and their guesses. He was sizing up this village.


    This was a very lively village. Foxes and ''people'' mixed around and lived together.


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that in this village, there were actually quite a number of humans!


    Which was also to say that the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan had many Tier 5 existences!


    What the hell was going on here?


    In a place like the Endless World, how could there possibly be such a terrifying force?


    Once this village was placed in the Endless World, it could virtually sweep across the entire Endless World, even more neatly than the Fierce Gale World!


    Even these peripheral villagers all had such considerable strength. Then what kind of strength did those so-called elders have?


    Ye Yuan was becoming more and more curious about this God Prohibited Demon Region!


    Under Yu Leng''s lead, Ye Yuan passed through over half of the village and came to an ancestral hall-like place.


    "Here is where the elders are located at. I know that your strength is very decent. But entering this place, whether you live or die will be up to you!" before entering Yu Leng suddenly said this, warning him.

 628 Illusionary Arts? Haha!

    Ye Yuan never thought about escaping, and he also knew that he could not run.


    Yu Leng, these three people, clearly came prepared. Evidently, they had long known about his appearance.


    Although Ye Yuan did not know how this Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan knew, without any doubt, they just knew it.


    Yu Leng trio''s strength was not bad. But presumably, they were definitely not considered the most powerful.


    Once those old fellows came out, Ye Yuan naturally would not get any benefits.


    Even if Ye Yuan could escape back to the Endless Forest, at that time, he still had to face Ding Liang''s pursuit. In comparison, Ye Yuan felt that this place was still a little safer.


    Yu Leng led Ye Yuan into the inner-hall. Ye Yuan instantly felt waves of powerful aura coming from head-on!


    Ye Yuan was slightly apprehensive in his heart. He never would have thought that in this God Prohibited Demon Region actually had a Tier 6 demon!


    The aura exuded by that old lady at the seat of honor was unbelievably powerful. It was even stronger than Zhao Tianyin''s. What could it be if not a Tier 6 demon?


    But according to Ye Yuan''s understanding, this God Prohibited Demon Region was just a core region in the Endless Forest and also a part of the Endless World. How could Tier 6 powerhouses possibly appear?


    "Yu Leng, this is the intruder?" That old woman was the first to speak.


    When Yu Leng saw this old woman, her expression was unbelievably respectful as she bowed and answered, "Yes, Old Ancestor Yu Huan!"


    Ye Yuan had been sizing up that Old Ancestor Yu Huan the entire time. Only to see that her entire face was covered in wrinkles, holding a cane with a bent body, appearing very old.


    But the aura faintly exuding from her body was absolutely not simple!


    Yu Huan''s gaze also looked towards Ye Yuan at this time, but she made a move suddenly!


    She lightly tapped the crutch in her hand. A streak of incomparably powerful azure light attacked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened slightly. Lifting his hand and the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm returned the salute.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was directly sent flying out!


    The power of a Tier 6 powerhouses was not what Ye Yuan could contend with no matter what.


    This attack of Yu Huan''s was just probing Ye Yuan''s limits. If she really attacked, Ye Yuan would not have the leeway to resist at all.


    It was just that Yu Huan''s face revealed a trace of imperceptible astonishment. She originally thought that this attack could also let Ye Yuan suffer a bit of injury no matter what. Who knew that Ye Yuan dusted off the dirt on his body and stood up right away.


    "If Old Ancestor Yu Huan wishes to feel me out, just say frankly. Isn''t such boorishness failing to treat guests with hospitality?" Ye Yuan said crossly.


    Yu Huan was definitely already aware that he had the dragon race''s bloodline. Otherwise, she would have killed him straight away and be done with it. That move earlier was definitely just in order to probe Ye Yuan out.


    Ye Yuan was aware in heart, so his opening move was the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s strongest strike.


    He already sensed that this God Prohibited Demon Region seemed to be very adverse towards humans. Ye Yuan displaying his own dragon race bloodline, Yu Huan was likely to not do anything to him.


    If she had any malicious ideas towards him, she would have just directly killed him just now. Why was there a need to go through the trouble of probing him?


    Yu Huan raised her eyelids slightly and asked, "You refined the blood essence of a true dragon?"


    Ye Yuan knew that it could not be concealed from the other party and said with a smile, "Senior''s discerning eyes are like burning torches!"


    Getting an affirmative reply, Yu Huan''s aura suddenly became fierce as she pressed Ye Yuan, "Where did your true dragon''s blood essence come from?!"


    "Uh . . . Senior, please forgive me. This isn''t convenient to reveal to Senior."


    Vast Heaven Pagoda was Ye Yuan''s secret. It was naturally impossible for him to divulge it to Yu Huan.


    Such an unparalleled treasure, even Tier 6 powerhouses would be moved too.


    Ye Yuan was not acquainted with this Yu Huan too. It was hard to guarantee that she would not have any wicked intentions.


    Facing a Tier 6 expert, Ye Yuan did not have any excess strength to resist.


    But Ye Yuan''s words had clearly infuriated Yu Huan. She suddenly became abnormally irritable. A powerful aura enveloped Ye Yuan.


    "You don''t seem to have realized your circumstances! Whether you say or not isn''t up to you!" Yu Huan said coldly.


    Ye Yuan was crushed until he almost could not breathe. But he still said obstinately, "Hehe, whether you kill or not is up to you. But to say or not lies with me! I don''t wish to say. Even if you kill me, I won''t say either!"


    Yu Huan''s expression turned cold. The imposing momentum on her body became even more powerful. The pressure on Ye Yuan''s body became increasingly greater, directly crushing him until his bones made creaking sounds.


    This sort of environment, Ye Yuan seemed to have a deja vu. It was exactly the same as when Zhao Tianyin forced him to kneel down back then. Except, Yu Huan did not have the intention of making Ye Yuan kneel. She just used essence energy to pressure him to compel him to say the origins of the dragon blood.


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth tightly. Dense beads of sweat exuded on his forehead, and his expression became very contorted. Clearly, he was in great agony.


    By the side, when Yu Shu saw Ye Yuan''s pained appearance, she pleaded, "Old Ancestor Yu Huan, he doesn''t have any ill intentions! Better to not kill him! Earlier, if not for this big brother showing mercy, Yu Shu would already be a dead person."


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure on his body ease up. The essence energy confining him instantly vanished into nothing. Evidently, it was pulled back by Yu Huan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Shu and said with a miserable smile, "Haha! Little lass, you''re too kind-hearted! Helping to speak up for outsiders, aren''t you afraid of your family''s old granny punishing you?"


    When Yu Shu saw Yu Huan pull back the essence energy, she relaxed slightly in her heart.


    Seeing Ye Yuan ask, Yu Shu blushed red and said shyly, "I''m just taking the matter on its merits! Earlier, if not for Big Brother you showing leniency, Yu Shu would definitely be dead already. This shows that Big Brother you''re not a bad person!"


    Actually, in terms of age, Yu Shu was goodness knows how much older than Ye Yuan. But her calling big brother over and over again, Ye Yuan''s bones were about to turn limp as he listened.


    Ye Yuan was just about to say a few words to tease Yu Shu when he suddenly felt his divine soul quiver. He was actually sneak attacked by Yu Huan this old woman!


    "Let me ask you, what''s your name called. Where are you from?" Yu Huan seemed to think that she had controlled Ye Yuan and asked.


    "I''m called Ye Yuan. I''m from a mortal country in the Endless World''s Southern Domain." Ye Yuan''s two eyes were lifeless as if he was really controlled by Yu Huan as he replied.


    Heh heh, the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s forte is illusionary arts. But using it on me is showing off in the presence of an expert! Little Lord, I, have comprehended Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm. Even if your illusionary arts were any greater, what can it do to me? Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart.


    Yu Huan''s brows knitted. She clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan''s background was actually so ordinary and mundane.


    "Why did you barge into the God Prohibited Demon Region?"


    "I was being hunted down by someone in the outside world and had no choice but to escape in here."


    "How did you pass through the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog?"


    "I . . . I don''t know either. I just walked and walked, and I came out."


    "Where did the true dragon blood essence in your body come from?"


    "I unintentionally broke into an abode for fairies and immortals and obtained a drop of blood essence there and directly swallowed it. Didn''t expect that it was actually true dragon''s blood essence," Ye Yuan blabbered nonsense.


    Yu Huan''s brows furrowed once more. Clearly, she was very unsatisfied with this answer.


    Following that, Yu Huan asked another large bunch of questions and finally got to the bottom of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan answered every question like this, but there weren''t much truthful words. Either way, this old lady could not tell either.


    By the time Yu Huan discovered that she could not query out anything, she waved a hand. Ye Yuan''s eyes immediately recovered its clarity.


    "En? What happened just now? What happened?" Ye Yuan asked with a bewildered look.

 629 Young Lord

    "Although you refined dragon''s blood and are considered half of the dragon race, in the end, you''re still a human. The God Prohibited Demon Region forbids humans from stepping foot inside. Your death sentence can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment. For the rest of your life, you''ll spend it in my clan''s dungeons!" Yu Huan did not care about Ye Yuan''s performance at all and was actually going to directly imprison Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was dejected in his heart. He already acted until like this. Why didn''t this old woman have any bit of compassionate heart at all?


    This old woman asking this and that, wasn''t it because she wished to find the whereabouts of dragon blood?


    But Ye Yuan really did not lie. The dragon blood really only had one drop!


    "Hey, you, this old lady, are so unreasonable! I''ve already explained it! Why are you still like this?" Ye Yuan said gloomily.


    "Humph! You should be rejoicing that you landed in the hands of our Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan. If you showed up in the territories of the Blackwind Demonic Wolves, they''ll definitely kill you straight away, then refine your bloodline!" Yu Huan said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan was covered in goosebumps by what she said. But he also knew that what Yu Huan said was true.


    The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was still a little amiable in the end. But the Blackwind Demonic Wolves were different.


    Although the hierarchy in the demon race was very strict, it was hard to break free from the natural instincts of demonic beasts in the end.


    Even though Ye Yuan already refined the true dragon blood essence and there was no way for other people to use it anymore, as long as one refined Ye Yuan''s bloodline, they could likewise obtain a high-concentration level dragon race bloodline.


    Even if such a bloodline could not compare to genuine true dragon blood essence, the Blackwind Demonic Wolves would not care so much!


    One had to know that the dragon race''s bloodline was incomparably precious. It had tremendous usage to all of the demon races.


    Yu Huan expended such great effort was in order to find the whereabouts of dragon blood.


    But Ye Yuan''s reply made her very disappointed.


    Through Yu Huan''s words, Ye Yuan even discerned a little of something.


    Seems like this God Prohibited Demon Region was not some otherworldly paradise either. When Yu Huan mentioned the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan, in her words evidently carried thick fear and hatred.


    These two clans were probably not that harmonious.


    Right at this time, a little white fox hurriedly entered the main hall and said anxiously, "Old Ancestor! Old Ancestor! Things are bad! Young Lord she . . . Young Lord she''s on her last legs already!"


    When these words came out, Yu Leng and Yu Shu they all turned pale with fear. Yu Huan''s expression changed drastically too, vanishing like a gust of wind. She actually did not even bother with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Ye Yuan noticed that when they heard this news, Yu Leng''s entire person became unwell, slumping onto the ground dejectedly, her entire person battered out of her senses.


    She gnashed her teeth at times but was downcast at times. The expression on her face became very fascinating.


    Ye Yuan could not help becoming curious and asked Yu Shu softly, "Little Sister Yu Shu, that Young Lord of yours . . . what''s wrong?"


    Yu Shu started crying all along since earlier. At this time, she already cried until she was covered in tears. The rims of her eyes were already red from crying.


    Seeing Ye Yuan question, Yu Shu choked through sobs and said, "Young Lord she was wounded by Wolf Fang in order to protect us! It''s all us failing to live up to expectations. If our strength were slightly stronger, Young Lord also wouldn''t have . . ."


    But Ye Yuan also figured out a general idea through Yu Shu''s words.


    Turns out that this region the Jade Faced Fairy Foxes were at was called Azure Mountain Region. And the strongest clan in this Azure Mountain Region was this Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan.


    In comparison, the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was weaker. The Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan frequently bullied weak races like them, making them offer resources in tribute.


    Some time back, the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan''s young lord, Wolf Fang, brought a large group of people to the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan. They actually wanted them to offer up a Taking Form Stage Jade Faced Fairy Fox every year to become the other party''s concubine.


    Furthermore, Wolf Fang wanted to bring one away on the spot!


    The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s young lord was naturally unwilling to agree. Hence, a clash happened between both sides.


    As a result, Wolf Fang beat the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s young lord to serious injuries.


    Earlier when that little fox came over, it was clearly because their young lord''s wounds worsened. Looks like her days were numbered.


    When Ye Yuan heard the incident''s whole story, he could not help sighing too.


    The demon race was actually even crueler than the human race. It had always been the weak as prey and the strong feasting. Whoever''s fist was larger, they would be the boss.


    The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was merely just a bunch of small foxes that the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan were rearing in pens.


    "Oh, right, your family''s old ancestor is a Tier 6 powerhouse. How could she have let that whatever Wolf Fang come and mess around?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Yu Shu wept and said, "At that time, Old Ancestor just happened to be in life-and-death seclusion. So she didn''t know about this incident. Wolf Fang definitely knew that Old Ancestor was in closed-seclusion. That''s why he chose that opportune moment to come. Otherwise, Old Ancestor won''t let anything happen to Young Lord!"


    Only then, was Ye Yuan enlightened. Looks like they totally calculated this chance accurately and came.


    But Ye Yuan was secretly surprised too. The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan had a Tier 6 old ancestor holding down the fort. Then how formidable did the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan have to be?


    At the very least, they also had to have a Tier 6 old ancestor holding down the fort, right?


    Ye Yuan patted Yu Shu''s lovely shoulder and said smilingly, "Alright, alright, don''t cry anymore. If you keep crying, you won''t be pretty anymore! How about this, you bring me over to your young lord''s place. I''ll have a look whether I can save her or not, alright?"


    Yu Shu''s tears finally turned into a smile when she heard. Grabbing hold of Ye Yuan''s arm, she asked agitatedly, "Really? Big Brother Ye Yuan, you can really save Young Lord?"


    Yu Shu''s little hand was very soft. Ye Yuan felt a fragrance hit his nose, enjoying it very much.


    "About that . . . I don''t dare to guarantee either. But it should be doable!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Who knew that at this time, Yu Leng stood up with a jump and pressed Ye Yuan, "You''re really able to save Young Lord?"


    Ye Yuan was taken aback by Yu Leng''s actions. He did not expect that her reaction would be so big. But he still nodded and said, "As long as she hasn''t died, there''s always the chance to save her. Uh . . . But you still have to let me see her first before it can be done!"


    Yu Leng''s eyes glared, and she said, "If you dare to deceive you, I''ll definitely kill you personally!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed when he heard that and was just about to fly off the handle, but he was stopped by Yu Shu.


    "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you don''t get angry. Elder Sister Yu Leng is only like this because she''s agitated for a moment! The last time Wolf Fang came here, the person he chose was precisely Elder Sister Yu Leng. So she blames herself more than any one of us! Actually, Elder Sister Yu Leng wasn''t like this last time. Ever since Young Lord met with the mishap, her entire personality changed. She cultivates day and night because she wants to increase her strength." Yu Shu explained.


    Yu Leng shot a glare at Yu Shu and reprimanded, "What are you telling him that for?"


    Yu Shu stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, not daring to rebut.


    Ye Yuan originally disliked Yu Leng a lot. But hearing Yu Shu''s words, he forgave Yu Leng.


    Anyone who encountered such a thing, their temperament would change greatly too.


    Hearing them say so much, Ye Yuan unwittingly somewhat took pity on the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head at Yu Leng and said, "Fine then. I promise you all to definitely save your young lord! Heh, I don''t believe that in this world, there are still people that I, Ye Yuan, can''t bring back to life . . . Uh, no, it should be demon!"

 630 Bringing Back from the Dead

    Ye Yuan entered a shabby thatched house. Mournful weeping sounds came from inside.


    "Make way, quickly make way! That little fox hasn''t died yet. What are each one of you wailing like it''s a funeral for?" Ye Yuan raised a hue upon entering the house.


    Ye Yuan parted the crowd and saw a snow-white little fox lying on the bed. It was just that the fox''s fur was stained with a fair bit of blackish-red colors. Clearly, it suffered very heavy injuries.


    That little fox was severely wounded and on the verge of death at this time. Clearly, it was already unable to maintain human form and transformed back to its original body''s appearance.


    Yu Huan was currently sitting by the bedside. Seeing Ye Yuan shouting and wrangling, her brows involuntarily furrowed, "Xin-er is already on her deathbed. You shouting and wrangling like this, are you tired of living?"


    If not that she was holding Yu Xin in her hands and was inconvenient to get angry, she would probably have killed Ye Yuan directly already at this time.


    Ye Yuan shot a glance at Yu Huan and said unhappily, "Old lady, if you don''t wish to let her die, then move aside obediently for me! I''ll give you three breath''s time to consider. If you don''t move aside, then I''ll wash my hands off this and leave!"


    When Yu Huan saw Ye Yuan''s appearance, she could not help being stunned too. She did not think that Ye Yuan was so domineering and did not give her the chance to speak at all!


    Her facial expression flickered irregularly, but Ye Yuan already started to countdown.


    "Three breaths!"


    "Two breaths!"


    When Yu Shu saw that Yu Huan was still hesitating, she could not refrain from saying anxiously, "Old Ancestor Yu Huan, let Big Brother Ye Yuan give it a try?"


    "One breath!"


    "Wait!" Yu Huan finally spoke.


    She put down that little fox gently and came in front of Ye Yuan, saying fiercely, "If I find out that you''re fooling me, I''ll make you wish you were dead!"


    Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with her. He directly circled around Yu Huan and came in front of the bed to inspect that little fox''s wounds.


    He suddenly turned his head around and said, "What are you looking at? Why haven''t you brought them to scram outside? Don''t stand here and hinder me! Uh . . . Let Yu Shu stay behind. The rest all get lost!"


    "You!" Yu Huan wanted to flare up, but she forcefully held it in and said to everyone, "All go outside for me!"


    Although she went out as well, Yu Huan was very displeased with Ye Yuan.


    This brat actually dared to tell her to get lost. Truly tired of living!


    If he could really save Xin-er, it could naturally be settled. If he could not save, then he would have to suffer her thunderous rage.


    "Old Ancestor, wasn''t that person just now human? He can treat Young Lord''s injuries?"


    "Yeah. Old Ancestor, how can a human martial artist possibly treat our demon race''s injuries? Furthermore, Young Lord''s injuries, even you yourself personally taking action are helpless too."


    "Old Ancestor, in my view, that human definitely doesn''t have good intentions! He knows that he can''t live already, so he''s deliberately here to cause trouble!"


    . . . . . .


    Everyone''s tongues were wagging. All in all, they all did not believe that Ye Yuan could treat Yu Xin''s injuries.


    The demon race''s alchemy skills and human race''s alchemy skills were two entirely different systems.


    Extremely few human alchemists knew the treatment of the demon race.


    This human race youth was at most just in his teenage years. How could he possibly know the demon race''s treatment ways?


    Moreover, after Yu Xin suffered injuries, Old Ancestor Yu Huan used many methods before she could sustain her life until now. The shamans in the clan already used all of their power and were all unable to preserve Yu Xin''s life.


    Just based on this human who came from God knows where, was it possible?


    Actually, how could Yu Huan not know this logic?


    It was just that Yu Xin was her only granddaughter. Looking helplessly as she was going to breathe her last, the agony in Yu Huan''s heart was simply hard to describe.


    Hence, though Ye Yuan''s words earlier were unbridled, it gave her the last strand of straw to clutch at.


    "All shut up for me!" Yu Huan''s mind was also in a whirl right now and could not refrain from blowing her top.


    "Ah! Young Lord!" Yu Shu suddenly exclaimed with a cry.


    The moment Yu Huan heard this voice, her expression involuntarily changed drastically!


    "Boy, I''ll kill you!"


    Yu Huan rushed straight into the thatched house, bringing a pressure that made people feel asphyxiated. Yet, once she entered, her entire person was paralyzed there. A jade-like beauty was lying on the bed. That frail little fox was already gone.


    Who could that beauty be if not Yu Xin?


    To be able to take human form indicated that Yu Xin already recovered some vitality.


    "Who do you want to kill?" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily.


    Yu Huan could not help choking up. That outrageously imposing momentum on her body instantly dissipated away into nothing. What replaced it was incomparable awkwardness on her face.


    She did not even figure out the situation and was going to kill people. It would be weird if Ye Yuan would be happy.


    Actually, in her subconscious, Yu Huan did not think that Ye Yuan had the capabilities to treat Yu Xin either. So when Yu Shu cried out just now, she instinctively thought that something happened.


    Who knew that Yu Shu''s exclamation earlier was because she felt that it was too unimaginable.


    "You this old granny. Don''t yell about killing at every turn, alright? If you have the capabilities, you go and find that whatever Blackwind Demonic Wolves'' old ancestor to throw your weight around. Is it interesting to play this with a junior like me?" Ye Yuan put away the gold needle in his hands and said huffily.


    This set of golden needles was swiped from Ren Xingchun there. Although it did not quite meet the requirement, it was also barely passable to use.


    What he employed to treat Yu Xin was precisely his self-created 72 Cycle Path Needling Technique.


    Now, Ye Yuan''s strength could no longer be compared to the past. Executing this set of needle technique again, it truly had abilities that even gods and devils could not predict.


    Being scolded by Ye Yuan like this, Yu Huan actually had nothing to say in response.


    Ye Yuan''s words were coarse, but the logic was not. How could she dare to find the Blackwind Demonic Wolves'' old ancestor to go and throw her weight around? What difference was there from courting death?


    "You . . . You treated Xin-er?" Yu Huan was still worried about Yu Xin''s safety, so she could only toughen her scalp and asked.


    "Treated? How can it be that easy? Not that I''m lecturing you, but what kind of messed-up fellows are the shamans in your clan? Your young lord was already injured until like this and they actually still used Nishang Fruit to extend her life. Isn''t this quenching a thirst with poison? Do you understand the logic of frailness can''t withstand nourishment or not? Although this thing is very nourishing, it''s no different from poison to this young lord of yours! Really messing around!" Ye Yuan fired a volley of scolding to her face.


    He diagnosed for Yu Xin earlier and discovered that this bunch of people, in order to extend her life, they used every kind of crap.


    Originally, her injuries could still drag for a while. But Nishang Fruit this kind of great tonic nearly took Yu Xin''s life directly.


    Yu Huan was very concerned about Yu Xin''s injuries at this time but did not dare to raise her voice at Ye Yuan. She could only keep her cool and ask, "Xin-er she . . ."


    Ye Yuan glanced at Yu Huan and said coolly, "The person is fine for the time being. But to want to recover to her peak condition, it still needs to work with medicinal pills! This is an inventory list of materials. Collect fully within ten days for me. Additionally, arrange for me a quiet place. I need to enter closed-seclusion! Ten days later, I''ll come and refine the medicinal pills."


    Although the 72 Cycle Path Needling Technique was incomparably profound, it could not fully replace medicinal pills.


    For ordinary injuries and ailments, Ye Yuan could completely treat using the needle technique. But if the injuries were too severe, it was impossible to recover without the assistance of medicinal pills.


    This Yu Xin already had one foot into the gates of hell previously already. Ye Yuan using the needle technique naturally had no way of letting her recover. It could only let her slightly recover some vitality.


    To want to recover fully, medicinal pills must be used!

 631 Four Symbols Phantoms!

    The medicinal pill that Ye Yuan wanted to refine was named Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill, a Tier 5 low-grade demonic pill!


    Without any doubt, this kind of medicinal pill that Ye Yuan wanted to refine needed to expend a considerable price.


    The refining difficulty of Tier 5 medicinal pills was on completely different levels from the medicinal pills he refined in the past. Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s pill formulas, which one was easy to refine?


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not have any connections with Yu Xin. But Ye Yuan finally still decided to help her refine the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill.


    Just as Yu Huan said, this Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was indeed good-natured. If it were some other demon race, it probably would not be that easy for him to want to go through such ordeal.


    Furthermore, for Ye Yuan to want to survive in this God Prohibited Demon Region, he had to attach to a faction. Otherwise, with his human race identity, he would really become a rat running across the streets that everyone cries out to kill.


    It was also uncertain what kind of existence this God Prohibited Demon Region was. There were actually Tier 6 powerhouses in here!


    Moreover, looking at the current circumstances, Tier 6 experts were bound to not be as simple as just one or two.


    With many considerations, Ye Yuan still decided to refine the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill.


    Of course, in this still had Yu Shu, that innocent little lass''s contribution.


    After Ye Yuan went into closed-seclusion, he refined the Tier 4 cultivation medicinal pills, Heavenly Sea Essence Increasing Pill.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan really stored up quite a bit of Tier 4 spirit medicines. Relying on the resources at hand, refining some Heavenly Sea Essence Increasing Pills were more than sufficient.


    Ye Yuan planned on making use of this ten day''s time to impact the Second Level Soul Sea.


    Although his essence energy was much thicker compared to ordinary martial artists right now, to want to refine Tier 5 medicinal pills, it was still somewhat struggling to make ends meet. To be able to increase a bit was a bit.


    After ten days, under the assistance of the Heavenly Sea Essence Increasing Pills, Ye Yuan broke through to the Second Level Soul Sea in one stroke!


    Right then, the spirit medicine inventory Ye Yuan wanted had arrived too. It was delivered personally by Yu Huan.


    "These are all Tier 5 spirit medicines. You can refine medicinal pills?" Yu Huan said doubtfully.


    "If you don''t believe me, you can take them away. Do you think that I want to refine medicinal pills for you all?" Ye Yuan replied unreservedly.


    Yu Huan could not help choking up when she heard that. As the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s old ancestor, when had anybody dared to speak this way to her before?


    Yet, this brat in front of her, his temper was unusually bad. As luck would have it, she still had the need for his help and could not do anything to him.


    The gloominess in Yu Huan''s heart could only be imagined.


    "Alright then. I''ll have to trouble you with this matter. If you can really treat Xin-er, you''ll be our Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s honored guest! Whatever request you have, just state them." Yu Huan compromised.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I don''t have other requests. You just don''t imprison me in the dungeons for the rest of my life will do!"


    Yu Huan was embarrassed again. She discovered that she forever could not gain any advantage in front of Ye Yuan, so she could only leave.


    Ye Yuan kept the spirit medicines and entered closed-seclusion again.


    Ye Yuan took out the Square Cauldron, got everything ready, and started to prepare to refine the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill.


    But before this, Ye Yuan let Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong out.


    Towards his disciples, Ye Yuan would never hoard. His serious attitude towards refining pills, there was a need for them to experience it. It was beneficial to their growth.


    "I''m going to refine a Tier 5 medicinal pills, Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill. You guys watch closely," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong exchanged a glance and were shocked to their core.


    Wasn''t their master too monstrous? Just initial-stage Alchemy King Realm and he was going to refine a Tier 5 medicinal pill?


    Ye Yuan did not explain too much and started to refine the pill straight away. Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong did not dare to delay, staring at Ye Yuan without moving their gazes.


    "Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Art, activate!" Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and cried out lightly.


    Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, displaying this alchemy skill seen again after a long absence.


    This Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Art was not considered a very profound alchemy skill to Ye Yuan. But to the current him, the strain was still quite big.


    If not for Ye Yuan refining dragon''s blood and the blood vitality of his physical body being exuberant, he might not even be able to hang in there.


    Even so, Ye Yuan did not dare to spurn it the slightest bit either.


    Refining Tier 5 medicinal pills with his current cultivation realm, he must pull out all stops!


    When Ye Yuan was at the Sea Transformation Realm, it was actually very awkward, because he had no way of crossing realms to refine Tier 4 medicinal pills.


    Because after breaking through to the Sea Transformation Realm, soul force did not increase much. Refining Tier 4 medicinal pills were actually equivalent to crossing two major cultivation realms to refine. This was simply impossible.


    But in the wake of his cultivation realm breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm and transcending the soul tribulation, his divine soul already had a qualitative leap!


    Even though Ye Yuan''s current soul force was only Peak initial-stage Alchemy King Realm, it was much thicker compared to normal people.


    Adding in his unpredictable alchemy skills, could it be possible to transform the rotten into something magical, refining a Tier 5 medicinal pill!


    Under the astonished gazes of the two disciples, the originally incohesive medicinal embryo gradually condensed and formed!


    "Master, this is simply god-like alchemy skills! When I was in the Xiao Family before, I always thought that I was very incredible already. Only now do I know that I haven''t even learned the rudiments!" Xiao Ruyan did not dare to interrupt Ye Yuan and transmitted her voice to Ren Dong.


    Ren Dong nodded and said, "Simply a marvelous work of art! I truly have no way of imagining that alchemy skills can actually be trained to such a realm! I feel that with my natural endowments, cultivating for another thousand years and I won''t reach Master''s level either!"


    "Actually, we don''t need to belittle our capabilities either! With Master''s alchemy skills, him willingly taking us in in itself already indicated many problems. Maybe we won''t reach his realm in our entire lives. But compared to other alchemists, we''re already much stronger," Xiao Ruyan said.


    "En, that''s true! This period of time following Master, my alchemy skills already advanced with astonishing progress. I even have a feeling that I absolutely won''t be worse than Grandfather when refining Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills now!"


    Ren Xingchun followed Ren Xingchun to refine pills since young and had a clear understanding of Ren Xingchun''s standards.


    He could already cultivate a Tier 2 alchemy skill to the Legendary Realm right now. His foundation skills were god knows how many times more solid than before.


    Quantitative change to qualitative change. Ren Dong''s present alchemy skills already could not be compared to in the past already.


    Although he was still a high-rank Quasi-Alchemy King now, he was already on a completely different level from before.


    "That . . ."


    Xiao Ruyan suddenly saw something and nearly exclaimed in shock. Luckily, Ren Dong reacted fast and hurriedly used his hand to cover her mouth.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, do you want to die?! Master''s pill refinement reached the most critical time. You yelling out like this, he''ll kill you!" Ren Dong''s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he transmitted his voice.


    Actually, the shock in his heart was not any bit lesser than Xiao Ruyan''s. It was just that he did not jump and freak out like Xiao Ruyan.


    Only when Xiao Ruyan looked at Ren Dong and nodded her head to signal that she got it, did Ren Dong loosen his hand.


    "Those were . . . Four Symbols Phantoms! Master he actually brought out Four Symbols Phantoms when he''s refining pills!" Xiao Ruyan said, not daring to believe it.


    At this time, on the four bearings of the Square Cauldron, four faint phantoms were currently slowly forming!


    These four phantoms were none other than precisely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuan Wu, the Four Divine Beasts!


    And among them, the Azure Dragon phantom was the most distinct!

 632 Tier 5 Transcendent-Grade!

    The Four Symbols were the spirits of heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan being able to condense the Four Symbols Phantoms when refining medicinal pills indicated that he produced some sort of resonance with heaven and earth.


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong were both not rookies. They were naturally aware of how profound a level condensing the Four Symbols Phantoms represented!


    Although the Four Symbols Spirit Gathering Art''s nomenclature was the Four Symbols, barely any people who could coalesce the Four Symbols Phantoms could be found in the entire Divine Realm too.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly brought out the Profound Water Flag!


    "Profound Spirit Nine Aperture Formation, form!"


    Ye Yuan''s hands were akin to weavers at this moment. That sort of exquisiteness was brilliant to the max.


    Try thinking about it, inscribing an array formation into such a small medicinal pill, how nimble a pair of hands did that require?


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong were long mesmerized from looking already. Ye Yuan''s pill refinement this time refreshed their understanding towards the alchemy path once more!


    They both had a feeling currently: Turns out that medicinal pills can be refined like this!


    "Four symbols condense, medicinal pill form! Condense for me!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. The Four Symbols Phantoms emitted a series of light cries and sunk into the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill!


    Finally, dust settled.


    Same as crossing realms to refine medicinal pills in the past, Ye Yuan was already exhausted until he could not take it anymore at this time. He hurriedly consumed the medicinal pills prepared ready and started adjusting his breathing.


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong, the two of them, were still standing there in a daze and did not come back to their senses for a while.


    The impact of the scene during Ye Yuan condensing the pill brought to them was seriously too great!


    With Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong, the two people''s identities, they had naturally seen before Alchemy Sovereign experts refining pills. Especially Ren Dong. He followed by Ren Xingchun''s side since young. That was a peak Alchemy Sovereign expert!


    But they had never seen before any pill refinement where the commotion would be so big.


    Integrating the Four Symbols Phantoms into the medicinal pills. What did that signify?


    That signified that this medicinal pill obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao! It represented a kind of resonance between Ye Yuan and heaven and earth!


    What kind of grade would a medicinal pill like this reach?


    "Go . . . Go and take a look?" Xiao Ruyan swallowed her saliva and asked Ren Dong.


    Ren Dong had an expression of yearning and nodded his head deeply.


    The two people plucked up their courage and came to the Square Cauldron''s side, opening the cauldron dexterously and retrieved the pill.


    When they saw that sparkling and crystal-clear, without any impurities medicinal pill in the jade tray, they involuntarily drew a deep breath once more.


    Transcendent-grade! Transcendent-grade again!


    An alchemist at the Alchemy King Realm actually refined a Tier 5 transcendent-grade medicinal pills!


    This was simply an accomplishment that surpassed ancient and modern times!


    The two people surrounded that medicinal pill and walked around in circles like this, as if they were looking at a work of art. Tongue-clicking sounds and sighs of admirations came out of their mouths every now and then.


    "The refinement this time, any inspiration?"


    The two people were currently wishing to dissect the medicinal pill when Ye Yuan''s voice suddenly sounded beside their ears. Ye Yuan had already finished adjusting his breathing since god knows when and was standing behind them.


    Ren Dong was startled and hurriedly straightened his body. He nodded his head, thought about it, and then shook his head.


    "Master, I seemed to have grasped a little something, but . . . it''s like I didn''t grasp anything. Like the reflection of the moon in water," Ren Dong said honestly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and looked at Xiao Ruyan and said, "You too?"


    Xiao Ruyan''s face turned red, and she nodded her head.


    This way of saying it sounded perfunctory no matter how one listened to it.


    Did not understand means did not understand. Pretending for?


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your understanding towards the alchemy path is still too shallow! The Alchemy Dao is a Great Dao. When cultivated to an exceedingly high realm, it can reach the gods too! It''s just that the Alchemy Path is overly arduous and intricate. The time and energy expended are a few times, even dozens of times that of the Martial Path. So there are extremely few people who can walk to the pinnacle. The Alchemy Path and the Martial Path are the same; They both contain the maxim of heaven and earth within. The alchemy skills that you guys practice are all the crystallization of the forefathers'' wisdom. No matter how low rank the alchemy skill, in them has some hard to describe things. This is also the reason why I made you start over from the basics! A myriad of Great Daos, all lead to the same goal. Understand?"


    Ye Yuan finished talking. The two people both revealed ruminating looks.


    The things that Ye Yuan talked about already came into contact with the core of the Alchemy Dao.


    Ever since following Ye Yuan, the two of them had been polishing foundational alchemy skills all along and did not study any profound alchemy skills intensively.


    Previously, they knew the how but not the why all along. Today, through Ye Yuan''s tiny bit of pointer, they finally saw the light!


    Ren Dong seemed to have understood something and said excitedly, "No wonder! No wonder I''m getting more and more proficient when I''m refining high-rank Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills now. Turns out that it''s this reason! Master, I understand!"


    Xiao Ruyan had a look of excitement too as she said, "Ah! So that''s how it is! Master, I got it!"


    . . . . . .


    When Yu Huan received the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill, her mouth could not close together for a while. Her jaws nearly drop the ground.


    Even though she prepared these spirit medicines for Ye Yuan, she did not really count on him being able to refine it.


    Ignoring other things, just Ye Yuan bringing Yu Xin back to life this regard, she would not really do anything to Ye Yuan either.


    But when she saw this transcendent-grade medicinal pill in her hands, her opinion of Ye Yuan was completely subverted already!


    This was a transcendent-grade Tier 5 medicinal pill!


    Could those shamans in the clan refine transcendent-grade Tier 5 medicinal pills?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was even a human!


    More importantly, Ye Yuan was only Alchemy King Realm!


    Crossing realms to refine a transcendent-grade Tier 5 medicinal pill. Was this what humans could accomplish?


    Ye Yuan was stared at by Yu Huan until his scalp tingled a little. He could not refrain from saying, "What are you looking at? Are there flowers on my face?"


    Only then did Yu Huan startle awake. She coughed dryly twice to cover up her embarrassment and said to a young girl by the side, "Yu Xin, it was Little Brother Ye who saved you. Why haven''t you quickly give thanks?"


    After ten over days, this Yu Xin could already get down and walk. It was just that the aura on her body was still very feeble. Most likely, even a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist that came over could easily defeat her.


    This Yu Xin''s two eyes were like water; she had delicate and dainty fingers, and cream-like skin. She was truly an all-around beauty.


    But Ye Yuan knew that the fox race was innately seductive. After taking form, they were all unparalleled beauties. It was just that this Yu Xin clearly stood out more among the rest.


    Yu Xin got Yu Huan''s pointer and gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said, "Yu Xin thanks Mister Ye''s life-saving grace very much!"


    These ten days, Yu Xin''s ear nearly had calluses rubbed out by ''Ye Yuan,'' these two words.


    She had originally given up on the hope of surviving already. But this man before her eyes forcefully pulled her back from the gates of hell!


    Not just that, this man was actually even helping her to refine a medicinal pill to help her recover her strength.


    All along, it had only been hearing the name but never seeing the person. Today, she finally saw his real face.


    Except, hearing that Ye Yuan was just a Soul Sea Realm martial artist previously, this matter of refining medicinal pills was treated by her as a joke to listen to.


    A Tier 4 martial artist refining Tier 5 medicinal pills? You''ve got to be kidding!


    It was just that she never could have dreamed that not only did Ye Yuan refine it, but it was also even a transcendent-grade Tier 5 medicinal pill!


    This sort of thing simply surpassed her understanding!


    "Haha! Miss Yu Xin don''t need to be polite. If you want to thank, then go and thank Little Sister Yu Shu. I only refined a medicinal pill for you on account of her face!" Ye Yuan waved his hand and said.

 633 Azure Spirit Trees Information

    Yu Xin finished cultivating. She had never felt this great before!


    Consuming the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill that Ye Yuan refined for her, not only did Yu Xin''s body recover fully, her strength advanced a step further too, reaching Peak Tier 5 initial-stage!


    Recalling the wording when Ye Yuan gave her the medicinal pill, Yu Xin could not help smiling bitterly.


    This man was so senseless about other people''s feelings!


    She was the young lord of the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan. Other people could not even wait to suck up to her.


    Ye Yuan rendered such a great service and actually brushed it over with an ''on account of Yu Shu''s face.''


    "This Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill is too miraculous. I really don''t know where he got the pill formula from."


    "Just what kind of person is this Ye Yuan?"


    Yu Xin discovered that she seemed to be full of interest towards this man who suddenly appeared.


    "Yu Xin, have you finished refining the Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill?"


    Right at this time, Yu Huan''s voice suddenly sounded out.


    "Yes, Grandmother. Yu Xin has already finish refining. Please come in."


    Yu Huan pushed the door and entered. When she discovered that Yu Xin''s cultivation had actually advanced, her feet involuntarily stopped.


    "Yu Xin, you . . . you actually broke through!"


    Astonishment was written all over Yu Huan''s face. She never would have thought that this Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pill was actually so powerful, letting Yu Xin break through directly!


    Yu Xin said with a bitter smile, "This life of Xin-er''s is considered to have been sold to Mister Ye."


    Yu Huan''s expression changed several times, and she finally heaved a long sigh and said, "Really didn''t expect that a foreign human who suddenly barged into my clan''s territory actually became your savior. Perhaps, this is fate."


    . . . . . .


    "You guys are saying, let me casually state the terms?" Ye Yuan looked at Yu Huan and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Yu Huan was deeply affected by Ye Yuan''s attitude. This expression was clearly looking down on the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan!


    "That''s right. I already don''t have many years left. Xin-er is my clan''s most outstanding junior. You saving her is equivalent to saving our entire Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan. Therefore, no matter what requests you have, I can satisfy them," Yu Huan said.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s attitude, Yu Huan was very disdainful.


    She was, at any rate, a Tier 6 expert too. Could it be that she still could not satisfy a Soul Sea Realm brat''s request?


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "What I want, you really can''t give. I wonder if your Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan has an Azure Spirit Tree?"


    When Yu Huan heard, her brows involuntarily furrowed, "Azure Spirit Tree? Are you messing with me? Azure Spirit Tree is a spirit flora of heaven and earth; it is elusive with its whereabouts. Where will I find an Azure Spirit Tree for you?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You see, I said that you can''t take it out, right?"


    Actually, Ye Yuan entering deep into the Endless Forest, apart from avoiding Ding Liang''s pursuit, there was still an objective, which was in order to find the Azure Spirit Tree and relieve Yue Mengli''s divine soul tearing agony.


    Seeing as the two year date was gradually approaching, the medicinal herbs that Ye Yuan concocted were almost unable to suppress her ailment already.


    If he still did not find the Azure Spirit Tree, Yue Mengli''s life would be in danger at any time.


    Yu Huan was just about to fly off the handle when Yu Xin by the side suddenly spoke up, "Grandmother, don''t get angry first. Could it be that Grandmother forgot the news that Dongming Region sent over ten years ago?"


    Ye Yuan was just randomly saying and did not think that there was really something. He could not resist asking, "What news? Quickly say!"


    Ye Yuan naturally knew how difficult the Azure Spirit Tree was to find. So he did not harbor any hope at all.


    Azure Spirit Tree was one of heaven and earth''s spiritual roots. Since birth, it would have spirituality. When it matured to a certain degree, it could even soar to the skies and tunnel underground. Its whereabouts are unpredictable and extremely hard to find.


    Yu Xin said, "Mister Ye, don''t be anxious. This news is still from ten years ago; we also don''t know if it''s true or fake."


    "Forget whether it''s true or fake, quickly say what''s it about!" Ye Yuan urged.


    Yu Xin nodded and said, "Ten years ago, Dongming Region''s Moyun Mountain, the story goes that somebody saw an Azure Spirit Tree before. But that person tracked the Azure Spirit Tree for three days and night and still lost it in the end."


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "Just this? Can you say a little more in detail?"


    "It was said that that person used all kinds of methods, but not only did he not catch the Azure Spirit Tree, but he was also hurt by the Azure Spirit Tree instead."


    "Who''s that person?"


    "Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s incumbent Clan Head!"


    Mentioning this Darkfiend Tiger Clan Head, Yu Xin''s words carried thick awe and veneration.


    Very clearly, this clan head was not someone easy to deal with.


    Ye Yuan nodded when he heard that and said, "Okay, I got it. Thank you very much, Miss Yu Xin."


    "Does Mister Ye wish to go to Dongming City?" Yu Xin suddenly asked.


    "En? Why? Is there anything wrong?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    "The Darkfiend Tiger Clan is one of the overlords of the entire God Prohibited Demon Region. They are very averse to outsiders, much less humans. Mister Ye . . ."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not hiding from Miss Yu Xin, I''m finding this Azure Spirit Tree for the sake of saving a friend. No matter how difficult, I must go too!"


    Ye Yuan said it very nonchalantly, but Yu Xin''s heart trembled.


    Martial artists were mostly selfish. Those able to do their utmost for friends were not many.


    Disregarding how strong the Darkfiend Tiger Clan was, just talking about this Azure Spirit Tree itself, it was extremely hard to deal with already.


    "Mister Ye is very honorable!" Yu Xin praised.


    "Huhu, I merely owe her a favor, far from being honorable or whatever. Oh, right, I have a question to ask you two. If it''s not convenient to answer, just forget it," Ye Yuan said.


    "En, you ask away. What I can say, I''ll naturally say."


    Yu Huan hearing that Ye Yuan dared to take this risk for the sake of a friend, she was slightly moved in her heart too.


    She had a sharp tongue but soft at heart personality, and she had actually long regarded Ye Yuan as one of them already.


    "This God Prohibited Demon Region is just a tiny region in the Endless World. But the territory inside is so vast. Could it be that this place formed a world on its own? The Endless World is only a middle-order small world and is completely unable to accommodate Tier 6 experts. Why are there actually so many Tier 6 experts here?" Ye Yuan asked his doubt.


    With Ye Yuan''s present cultivation realm, he could not sense the power of space at all.


    But he could faintly sense that this place was probably not such a simple place.


    Once the experts here were placed outside, forget about the Endless World, even the Fierce Gale World, they could sweep across too!


    Even the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan, a small clan like this, had a Tier 6 expert, let alone the other clans.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was very curious why inside the Endless World, such a small world would be adjoined.


    "This . . ." Yu Huan could not help hesitating when she heard Ye Yuan''s words.


    "Haha, I was just casually asking. If it isn''t convenient to speak, just leave it at that," Ye Yuan said without a care.


    "Not that it isn''t convenient to tell, but I''m unable to answer you at all. Because I don''t know the origins of the God Prohibited Demon Region as well. Our demon race has all lived here for generations, and our Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan is just a bottommost faction. I heard that those powerful factions even have Tier 7 experts existing," Yu Huan said.


    Even though Yu Huan was a Tier 6 demon, she was just an existence at the bottom rung of the God Prohibited Demon Region; simply could not come into contact with many secrets.


    When Ye Yuan heard Yu Huan''s words, he was greatly startled inwardly too.


    This place actually had Tier 7 experts!

 634 Thunder Essence Fruit Grove

    Tier 7 powerhouses!


    Just how stable did this space have to be to be able to accommodate Tier 7 powerhouse existences?!


    At least, Ye Yuan knew that other than an extremely few numbers of several highly stable special worlds, it was simply impossible for Tier 7 experts to exist in the Lower Realms.


    And those worlds, Ye Yuan knew all of them. It was definitely not the Endless World.


    Then just what kind of existence was this God Prohibited Demon Region before his eyes?


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that this Endless World was really a mystical place. Although the world-order was not high and the aboriginals did not have much strength either, it hid numerous secrets.


    Even him, a Divine Realm''s former pinnacle existence, could not figure out this small world''s actual situation too.


    A special space like the God Prohibited Demon Region absolutely had its own secrets!


    It was just that looking at Yu Huan''s appearance, she was probably unaware.


    "Fine then. Looks like there is a need to make a trip to Dongming Region."


    Ye Yuan was also filled with curiosity towards this God Prohibited Demon Region. At the same time he was seeking out the Azure Spirit Tree, he naturally had to explore a bit too.


    He had a feeling that this God Prohibited Demon Region was probably not formed naturally but created by people.


    If not for this, it was impossible for humans to not exist here and would also not kill humans when they see them.


    Which was also to say that somebody deliberately passed down this ancestral teaching in order to isolate here from the outside world.


    And in truth, it was also impossible for the Endless World to have humans able to pass through the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog and enter here, apart from Ye Yuan.


    Then to be able to split open such a space that could accommodate the God Prohibited Demon Region, how formidable a strength did that person have to be?


    But Ye Yuan knew that even existences like the Ten Great Divine Kings could not possibly achieve this either!


    This way, then there was only one explanation: Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Only Deity Realm powerhouses had the strength to split open such a special space!


    Any and all things that touched upon Deity Realm, Ye Yuan was naturally very interested.


    To want to reach the Deity Realm, one must unravel the secrets of Deity Realm vanishing.


    And these secrets, so many experts in the Divine Realm searched for so many years, but no one was able to unravel its secret.


    Ye Yuan attempted to understand a little in the past too. But the things that he discovered in his past life was not even as many as this life.


    Regardless whether was it the Divine Script, or the mysterious black bead, or the Vast Heaven Pagoda, or even this God Prohibited Demon Region, this Endless World seemed to be linked in countless intricate ways with Deity Realm.


    Him reincarnating into the Endless World, was it also an arrangement foreordained by the heaven?


    Yu Huan and Yu Xin naturally did not know Ye Yuan''s thoughts. Seeing Ye Yuan say that he wanted to go to Dongming Region, Yu Huan said, "It''s too dangerous for you to go to Dongming Region by yourself. This elderly self still has to hold down the fort in the clan and isn''t convenient to travel with you. Since you saved Yu Xin, let her follow you. At least she can also be a guide for you."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, then thank you very much, Old Ancestor!"


    Ye Yuan did not refuse. This God Prohibited Demon Region, he was completely blind to the situation, and indeed he needed a guide. If he walked by himself, who knows how much unnecessarily long way he would have to walk.


    The three people were currently chatting away when Yu Shu ran in in a flustered manner and said urgently, "Old Ancestor, not good, not good! Elder Sister Yu Leng and the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan people had a clash, and they were injured by them!"


    Yu Xin''s expression changed abruptly, and she said, "What? What happened? Why would Yu Leng get into a conflict with the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan for no reason?"


    Yu Shu said, "Elder Sister Yu Leng brought us to patrol outside. The result was that we discovered an area of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove! Except, that stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove is situated right at the borders of our land and the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan''s boundary, and they also discovered that fruit grove as luck would have it. The Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan people were very overbearing and insisted that the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove was discovered by them. Elder Sister Yu Leng argued strongly on just grounds, in the end . . . in the end . . ."


    In the end, she was naturally wounded!


    Ye Yuan listened carefully by the side and knew that this result was bound to happen too.


    With Yu Leng''s personality, there was bound to be a conflict with the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan.


    However, when Ye Yuan heard ''Thunder Essence Fruit'' three words, his eyes involuntarily radiated a light too.


    This Thunder Essence Fruit was a rare thing. It inherently had the power of lightning and could help martial artists cultivate out the Concept of Thunder!


    The incredible aspect of this Thunder Essence Fruit was that it did not require comprehension. One just had to directly swallow it down and refine it, and it could let their essence energy carry the Concept of Thunder; an extremely heaven-defying heaven and earth spirit fruit.


    To think that upon entering the God Prohibited Demon Region, he encountered such a treasure.


    Heaven and earth treasures, those fated would get them.


    Since Ye Yuan heard about this thing, it was naturally impossible for him to treat it like he did not see.


    Of course, even if it were not for this Thunder Essence Fruit, Ye Yuan would not possibly turn a cold shoulder to the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s matters too.


    "This bunch of hateful bad snakes! Only know how to bully us all day long! If they have the capabilities, go be overbearing with the Blackwind Demonic Wolves!" Yu Xin said huffily.


    Actually, Yu Xin''s cultivation realm was not much lower than the other races'' junior generation.


    But the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s combat strength was seriously terrible.


    In comparison, the snake race and the wolf race''s combat strength were very daunting.


    Yu Shu was also indignant as she said, "The Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan only knows how to suck up to the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan. How can they dare to be arrogant to them?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly spoke to Yu Huan, "Old Ancestor Yu Huan, they already bullied to your doorsteps, Aren''t you going to take action?"


    Yu Huan''s expression changed, and she said with a bitter smile, "Our Azure Mountain Region''s various clans have an unwritten rule: Tier 6 experts are not to interfere with the young generation''s matters. Once I take action, it will surely stir their old ancestor. At that time, it will be even harder to resolve."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Let''s go then. I''ll accompany you all to take a look."


    "You?" Yu Xin said in puzzlement.


    But Yu Shu was overjoyed when she heard and said, "It''s really great that Big Brother Ye Yuan is willing to help! Young Lord, Big Brother Ye Yuan is very strong! Elder Sister Yu Leng can''t even last one exchange under his hands!"


    What Yu Shu was talking about was still when Ye Yuan was at the First Level Soul Sea. Now that Ye Yuan broke through to the Second Level Soul Sea, he could one-shot Yu Leng without using the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations too.


    Yu Xin could not help being startled inwardly when she heard that. She really did not know that Ye Yuan''s Martial Path strength was actually so powerful.


    These few days, she had been hearing how incredible Ye Yuan''s pill refinement was all along, and how brilliant his medical skills were. But Ye Yuan''s Soul Sea Realm cultivation boundary made her subconsciously feel that Ye Yuan was inadequate.


    To think that Ye Yuan''s combat strength was actually so powerful!


    . . . . . .


    Under Yu Shu''s lead, Ye Yuan''s party arrived at that Thunder Essence Fruit Grove very soon.


    Far, far away, Ye Yuan could already sense the power of thunder and lightning emitting from inside the fruit grove.


    Outside the fruit grove, two parties were currently facing each other. They were precisely the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan and the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan.


    "Yu Xin was already beaten to heavy injuries by Young Lord Wolf Fang. Yu Leng, you''re your clan''s strongest person already. Just now, that young lass secretly slipped away. Could it be that she could still bring any powerful reinforcements? Could it be that she went to call Yu Huan that old thing out? Heh heh," said a young man dressed in black with a cold smile.


    "An Bing, don''t be impudent! Let me tell you, Young Lord has already obtained an expert''s treatment and has already recovered her strength now!" Yu Leng held her injury and said.


    "Hahaha! Young Lord Wolf Fang taking action, it''s already pretty good if Yu Xin that girl can survive! Putting aside that Yu Xin is badly wounded, even if she were perfectly fine, she would also be my vanquished opponent if she came!" An Bing said arrogantly.


    "Is that so?" Yu Xin''s aura changed and blocked in front of Yu Leng.

 635 Head Held High

    "Young Lord!"


    When Yu Leng and the rest of the fox clan saw Yu Xin, they were all thrilled.


    Yu Xin turned around and gave Yu Leng a light smile and said, "It''s been hard on you, Yu Leng. Leave the rest to me."


    Yu Leng was covered in wounds currently, looking very miserable.


    But she forgot about her injuries at this time and said in astonishment, "Y-Young Lord, you actually broke through!"


    Yu Xin said smilingly, "It was all thanks to Mister Ye''s medicinal pill!"


    Finished talking, Yu Xin turned around, and she switched to an icy-cold countenance and said, "An Bing, didn''t you say earlier that even if I came, I''m your vanquished opponent too? Now that I''m here, why don''t you try defeating me!"


    An Bing was the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan''s second strongest person and originally around the same as Yu Xin. If they really exchanged blows, Yu Xin was most likely not his match.


    It was just that he never could have thought that Yu Xin actually obtained a breakthrough and reached Peak initial-stage Tier 5!


    But he already uttered his words earlier. At this time, it was not nice to retract them no matter what. He could only toughen his scalp and said, "Humph! A tiny little fox clan dares to be arrogant in front of our Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan too?! Those words were said by me. What can you do to me?"


    "Since you said them, then I''ll make you swallow them back!"


    Yu Xin was the young lord of a clan after all and carried a very domineering side to her.


    Flaring up at this time, she was a woman not inferior to any men.


    As she spoke, Yu Xin slapped a palm towards An Bin. An Bing obviously would not allow himself to be captured without putting up a fight, clashing together with Yu Xin.


    The disparity between the demon race cultivation realms was not that obvious. Even though Yu Xin obtained a breakthrough, to want to take down An Bin within a short time, that was not possible.


    Yu Leng was sweating profusely. Just now, she was forcefully hanging in there. When Yu Xin arrived, she could not persevere anymore.


    Right at this time, a medicinal pill was delivered in front of her.


    Yu Leng lifted her head and looked. Who could it be but Ye Yuan?


    "Eat it. Your injuries will heal very soon." Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Yu Leng was still hesitating when Ye Yuan said again, "Quite a number of your injuries are in hidden places. Actually, you couldn''t battle long ago. You were forcefully hanging in there all along just now, and your injuries have already deteriorated very severely. If you don''t carry out treatment, there''s a high likelihood of harming your foundation and affecting your cultivation in the future."


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Yu Leng''s expression changed, and she snatched the medicinal pill over from Ye Yuan''s hand and swallowed straight away.


    When the medicinal pill reached her abdomen, Yu Leng''s injuries saw an immediate effect and took a turn for the better.


    Yu Leng''s expression changed, and she could not help looking towards Ye Yuan.


    "Huhu, don''t need doubt. This medicinal pill is the same as the one your family''s young lord ate. I managed to find time these few days and refined a few more," Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    Ye Yuan was currently living in the God Prohibited Demon Region. Those human martial artists'' medicinal pills he had on him were naturally of not much use.


    Hence, he found time these two days and refined a few more Skandha Ancient Spirit Demonic Pills and other medicinal pills in case of an emergency. It was just that he did not expect it would be put to use so quickly.


    Yu Huan naturally satisfied all demands that Ye Yuan had currently.


    Yu Leng was cold as ice on the surface, but in her heart, she was shocked to her core.


    This was a transcendent-grade medicinal pill. Giving it to people so casually?


    No wait, even if it was given to her, he did not even blink his eyes?


    Just what kind of realm did this fellow''s alchemy skills reach?


    Yu Leng was aware that those Tier 5 shamans in the clan if they refined any high-grade medicinal pills, each one of them treated it like a treasure to keep.


    Transcendent-grade Tier 5 medicinal pills, Yu Leng had not even seen before too. This fellow actually took it out and gave it to her just like this!


    Since when was her relationship with him good to this sort of extent?


    One had to know that ten over days ago, she even wanted to kill him!


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Leng and said with a cold smile, "Don''t need to look at me with that kind of eyes. Actually, I only treated your injuries on account of Little Sister Yu Shu''s face. I think that if you died, she''d definitely cry very broken-heartedly."


    Yu Leng''s expression darkened, and she was just about to fly off the handle at the scene but was held back by Yu Shu.


    Yu Shu''s small face was flushed red. The words earlier, she heard all of it. She said to Yu Leng blushingly, "Big Brother Ye Yuan is kidding with you, can''t you tell yet? Such a valuable medicinal pill, how can he possibly give it to you on account of my face?"


    But Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Heh, Little Sister Yu Shu don''t be unduly humble. If not for the sake of your face, I''d rather have killed the three of you back then, and then roamed the world! Forget about Yu Leng, even helping your family''s young lord refine medicinal pills, I was also taking into account your face. Although giving Yu Leng a medicinal pill wasn''t entirely on account of your face, it occupied half the reason too. Whoever I, Ye Yuan, treat as a friend, I''ll naturally help all the way. But if anyone provokes me, I''ll be sure to kill and be merry too!"


    Yu Shu''s small face got even redder. She really did not expect that she was so important in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Even when Yu Leng heard it, she was taken aback too.


    What Ye Yuan said was not wrong. He did indeed have the strength to kill the three of them back then but did not do so. Turns out that it was actually on account of Yu Shu''s face!


    But what Yu Leng was even more curious about was Ye Yuan''s other half of the reason.


    "Then the other half of the reason?" Yu Leng could not resist asking.


    "The other half of the reason . . . you can fight to the bitter end for your clansman, this courage is worthy of my respect. Seems like you''re not as unreasonable as I imagined as well," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    When Yu Leng heard these words, her face involuntarily reddened. She did not think that Ye Yuan giving her such a precious medicinal pill was actually just for this sort of reason.


    And right then, Yu Xin and An Bing''s battle already reached a white-hot stage. Yu Leng and Yu Shu''s attention was also attracted by the battle cries over there.


    "Relax. Your family''s young lord has already occupied the absolute initiative. They will be able to determine the victor very soon," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Actually, Ye Yuan already discerned the victor not long after the two engaged in fighting. Hence, that was why he chatted with the two girls calmly.


    Yu Leng and Yu Shu were very excited when they heard Ye Yuan''s words too.


    Indeed, within Ye Yuan''s expectations, after ten moves, Yu Xin''s advantage was getting increasingly obvious, pressuring Ab Bing until he felt smothered.


    Another ten moves passed. Yu Xin caught one of An Bing''s carelessness and went straight for the target, smacking An Bing flying with one palm!


    "An Bin, see if you still dare to act wildly in my clan''s territory! Quickly bring your people and scram back for me! The vast majority of this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove are all on our Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s territory. Even if you guys want, you''re only permitted to take your share!" Yu Xin said majestically.


    Yu Xin felt a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment at this time. She had always been just a bit weaker than An Bing in the past. This made the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan unable to hold their heads up high.


    The strongest person in a clan could not even beat other people''s second strongest person. This was too humiliating.


    Of course, losing face was a small matter. Being constantly bullied by people was a major issue!


    This time, she borrowed Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill and took advantage of the opportunity to breakthrough, finally surpassing An Bing!


    Who knew that An Bing was totally unmoved and said with a loud laugh, "Yu Xin, you don''t think that by defeating me, everything will be fine, right? Let me tell you, we''ve notified Young Lord An Xuan long ago. He''s going to reach in a minute! At that time, I''ll see if you still dare to say this sort of big talk or not! This stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove, our Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan is hell-bent on it!"


    When these words came out, the expressions of the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s side here all changed drastically!

 636 With Just the Likes of Me!

    An Xuan, the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan''s young lord, is also one of the strongest person among the young generation.


    Yu Xin naturally knew that even if she broke through, she could not possibly be An Xuan''s match too.


    "Hahaha! Scared, right? Just with this bit of strength of yours, you also wish to occupy the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove too? Our Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan cultivates the power of thunder and lightning innately. Obtaining these Thunder Essence Fruits is like adding wings to a tiger. A bunch of little foxes also have wishful thinking of getting a share of the Thunder Essence Fruits too?" An Bing said cockily.


    Yu Xun''s expression changed several times but did not know how she should refute.


    The demon race world was even more particular about the prey being food and the strong feasting. Whoever''s strength was greater, they would be the boss!


    The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was weak. Even if this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove were fully in their territory, the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan would not give them the slightest opportunity either.


    Unless when the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan discovered this stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove and the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan did not discover it at all.


    This sort of situation currently, it was too hard for them to want to take a share of the loot!


    Seeing Yu Xin''s expression, An Bing got even haughtier. Crawling up with a grunt, he did not care about the injuries on his body either and ordered his companions, "The few of you, put up a warning line for me. I want to see if these little foxes really dare to provoke our Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan or not!"


    "Yes, Lord An Bing!"


    "Haha, truly, heaven is watching! A stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove actually appeared here! With this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove, Young Lord An Xuan''s strength will surely advance a step further! Before long, Young Lord An Xuan''s strength might be able to catch up to, even surpass Wolf Fang''s. At that time, it will be the opportunity for my Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan to truly rise up!"


    An Bing seemed to have already seen the day the clan rose up, the flesh on his face somewhat started quivering excitedly.


    "Heh heh, aren''t you, these little foxes, leaving yet? When Young Lord An Xuan arrives, it probably won''t be that easy even if you all wish to leave!" An Bing said with a snicker.


    The expression on Yu Xin''s face was very ugly. This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove was within the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s domain. Could it be that they could only give up?


    How could she be willing?


    Yu Shu''s dainty fists were tightly clenched too as she said with an indignant look, "This bunch of fellows is so unreasonable! This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove is clearly in our territory. They actually want to occupy it as their own! It''s fine if they bully us normally. But such an immense lucky chance, they are actually not giving us even a little bit!"


    Ye Yuan smiled secretly in his heart. This Yu Shu little lass was really innocent.


    Thunder Essence Fruit, this lucky chance, forget that it was in the demon race, even if it appeared among human martial artists, it was also impossible to talk reason with you.


    Whoever''s fist was big, whoever could get a share of the loot.


    Without strength, sorry, please go to one side and play!


    It was also that this Thunder Essence Fruit did not have much use to Tier 6 experts. Otherwise, how could the old fellows in the two clans sit still?


    But the Thunder Essence Fruit to martial artists Tier 5 and below was absolutely a heaven-defying treasure!


    This thing could directly increase combat strength!


    Even Ye Yuan was also palpitating with excitement towards it.


    "Do these guys frequently bully you guys?" Ye Yuan asked curiously?


    Yu Shu said huffily, "Yeah! Our fox clan and their territory are the closest, and our strength is the weakest too. They don''t dare to challenge the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan, so they often come to bully us."


    "Like this huh? Is that An Xuan, or whatever, very strong?"


    "En, An Xuan is a middle-stage Tier 5 expert. Even if Young Lord''s strength improved greatly, she''s not his match either," Yu Shu said.


    The two people were currently talking when a sharp and fierce aura arrived in a twinkle. A young and cold man appeared in front of everyone.


    "Young Lord, you finally arrived!" An Bing could not help being overjoyed when he saw someone arrived.


    An Xuan took a look at An Bing and said with a frown, "You actually sustained injuries?"


    An Bing could not help choking up and explaining, "No idea what kind of lucky chance Yu Xin that little fox acquired. Not only are her injuries healed, her strength even advanced by leaps and bounds. Young Brother . . . Younger Brother isn''t a match."


    "Oh?" An Xuan only noticed Yu Xin at this time. Indeed, her strength increased greatly.


    "Didn''t expect that a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes. You, this little fox, actually broke through to peak initial-stage Tier 5 already." An Xuan was rather surprised.


    But he did not really pay it any heed in his words. Ignoring that Yu Xin was only peak initial-stage Tier 5, even if she was at the middle-stage Tier 5, she was not his match either.


    Yu Xin frowned and said, "An Xuan, enough crap. Let''s still talk about the main topic! This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove can be given to you guys, but my clan wants one-fifth of the Thunder Essence Fruits!"


    Yu Xin''s words were already making incredible concession.


    This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove only had a small piece in the snake clan''s territory, but they only wanted one-fifth of the Thunder Essence Fruits. It could be said to be swallowing humiliation to shoulder a heavy load.


    But when Ye Yuan heard Yu Xin''s words, he shook his head secretly.


    At this time, either let the person get lost or they themselves scram.


    Saying such words was undoubtedly asking for humiliation.


    Indeed, after An Xuan heard Yu Xin''s words, he immediately burst into laughter. That laughter was filled with disdain and mockery.


    "One-fifth? Sure, as long as you have the capabilities to take it away from my hands, so what if it''s all given to you? Or . . ." When An Xuan spoke until here, he paused for a bit.


    When Yu Xin heard, she still thought that An Xuan was planning on stating terms and could not resist asking, "Or what?"


    An Xuan suddenly switched his expression and laughed lewdly and said, "Or you come and be my concubine. This one-fifth of the Thunder Essence Fruits will be the betrothal gift."


    When Yu Xin heard, her lovely body could not help trembling in anger, "You! Shameless!"


    Only at this time, did she know that she was fooled by An Xuan. How could she still endure it? Raising her hand, she was going to deal with An Xuan.


    "Heh, overestimating your own ability!" An Xuan forced Yu Xin back with a very casual palm.


    He was unforgiving when getting the upper-hand, following up with another palm and pressing on towards Yu Xin.


    Yu Xin met the attack calmly and could still resist for a few rounds. Her head was still heated up for a time earlier. How could she still be An Xuan''s match


    "Ahh!"


    In a panic, Yu Xin cried out and was already prepared to bear this palm of An Xuan''s.


    But right at this time, there was a blur in front of her eyes. A big and tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan and An Xuan each fell back several steps!


    An Xuan''s face fell as he said, "Human?"


    He looked at Yu Xin with ill-intent and said, "The rule in the God Prohibited Demon Region is to immediately execute humans when seen. Your fox clan actually dares to take in humans. Are you really not afraid of your clan being exterminated?"


    Yu Xin''s expression changed, and she was just about to speak but was stopped by Ye Yuan''s hand gesture.


    "A bunch of grown man bullying women. You guys really have the nerve too! This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove is in their territory, and you all actually seized it openly. Truly shameless!" Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.


    "Humph! When is it your turn to meddle in our God Prohibited Demon Region''s affairs? The strong becomes the king. My fist is big, so what I say naturally goes!" An Xuan said with a cold smile.


    "Is that so? Then if my fist is bigger than yours, does this piece of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove belong to me?" Ye Yuan said smilingly


    An Xuan gave Ye Yuan a measuring glance and said with a cold smile, "With just the likes of you, a Tier 4 human?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, with just the likes of me!"

 637 Bloodline Suppression!

    "Ye Yuan, you''re not his match! Quickly move aside!" Yu Xin hurriedly said when she saw Ye Yuan coming forward.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Fighting is a man''s affair. Women should go to the side to watch! These Thunder Essence Fruits, I''m determined to have them! At that time, I''ll split one-fifth with you all."


    These words were said . . . without any reservation!


    It was just that in An Xuan''s and the other''s ears, it was simply a joke.


    "Haha! You''re not afraid of twisting your tongue when bragging! A puny little Tier 4 human also dares to utter such words. Who gave you the courage?" An Xuan said with a loud laugh.


    Although that clash Ye Yuan had with him earlier was very fierce, that was only his momentary carelessness. Furthermore, he had not used much strength yet.


    If Ye Yuan thought that he had the qualifications to challenge him just like this, then Ye Yuan really did not know how the word ''death'' was written.


    "Hahaha! Where did this joker come from? To actually dare challenge Young Lord! He''s really complaining that he lived for too long."


    "Are humans all this stupid? This kind of brain, how did he cultivate to Tier 4?"


    "Human, we''re so afraid! These Thunder Essence Fruits, you take them all. Make sure not to be courteous with us! Don''t hit me! Don''t hit me!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Ye Yuan''s words incurred a wave of guffaws. In their view, Ye Yuan was simply here to be a joke.


    How could Tier 4 martial artists possibly beat Young Lord?


    Towards this sort of mocking, Ye Yuan naturally did not take it to heart. He just hooked his finger at An Xuan. That sort of disdain was laid bare thoroughly.


    An Xuan''s expression darkened. "If you''re courting death yourself, then I can''t be blamed! Darkshadow Thunder Kill!"


    An Xuan extended his hand and beckoned. A horrifying power of lightning and thunder instantly enveloped the entire place.


    And Ye Yuan was situated in the heart of this lightning field!


    "Darkshadow Thunder Kill as the opening move. Looks like Young Lord was really enraged by this fellow!"


    "Heh heh, this fellow is really a joke. He doesn''t know what a terrifying thing it is to infuriate Young Lord."


    "Tsk tsk, nothing to see anymore. Once Darkshadow Thunder Kill is unleashed, this fellow is dead for sure."


    Facing this horrifying lightning field, Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious. His aura suddenly erupted abruptly, soaring straight to peak Fourth Level Soul Sea!


    Crossing a minor stage, Ye Yuan''s aura became totally different!


    Those Darkshadow Lightning Snake clansmen who were still mocking Ye Yuan earlier all had their mouths gaping wide open at this time.


    Ye Yuan''s current aura was actually not the slightest bit inferior to An Xuan!


    "Oppression of the dragon race! This . . . This is the oppression of the dragon race! Could it be that . . . this brat is a dragon race progeny?" An Bing suddenly exclaimed, sensing that oppressive power belonging to the dragon race bloodline.


    At this current moment, Ye Yuan fully exhibited the dragon race bloodline in his body.


    The Darkshadow Lightning Snake clansmen whose strength were slightly weaker actually could not resist and bowed down!


    The hierarchy of the demon race was stringent. This sort of bloodline oppression was simply unable to resist!


    Without needing An Bing to say, An Xuan naturally perceived it long ago.


    The dragon pressure that Ye Yuan released actually made the demonic essence in his body had a feeling of going out of control. If not for his strength was much higher than Ye Yuan''s, he would probably have followed the others at this time and bowed down.


    This was absolutely the purest dragon race bloodline. Otherwise, how could it possibly make his demonic essence be on the verge of losing control?


    Could this brat really be a dragon race progeny?


    But . . . this brat did not have any traces of a demon from top to bottom!


    Seeing this scene, Yu Shu''s small face was flushed red from agitation; it was like a fully-ripe red little apple.


    "Turns out that Big Brother Ye Yuan is so incredible! Back then when he fought with us, he didn''t release all of the dragon pressure at all. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have the chance to attack in front of him!" Yu Shu said agitatedly.


    By the side, Yu Leng was taken aback from shock too. Only now did she know how great Ye Yuan''s strength was!


    Just this dragon pressure, a demon with her strength could not give rise to the thought of resisting at all.


    "This . . . Ye Yuan, is he a human or demon?" Yu Xin also unwittingly started to question her eyes.


    The dragon pressure that Ye Yuan displayed was too pure. If this dragon pressure were released towards the fox clan, they would not be able to withstand it at all.


    This point, one would know just by taking a look at those Darkshadow Lightning Snakes.


    Ye Yuan looked at An Xuan indifferently and said, "You said just now that whoever''s fist is bigger makes the call. Then let''s measure whose fist is bigger!"


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    The moment Ye Yuan attacked, it was his strongest attack!


    An Xuan''s expression was indescribably nasty. Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, he attacked without hesitation as well.


    "Darkshadow Thunder Kill! Suppress for me!"


    An Xuan roared. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled within this area, facing off with the fiery-red colossal dragon Ye Yuan fired out!


    Except, the lightning which looked fierce and sharp could not shake Ye Yuan''s red dragon at all.


    Rumble!


    A huge rumbling sound was heard. An Xuan directly vomited blood from being beaten to severe injuries.


    "Young Lord!"


    "Young Lord, are you alright?"


    The one move being exhausted, the dragon pressure on Ye Yuan''s body converged following that too, before those Darkshadow Lightning Snakes could recover.


    With one attack, An Xuan was already severely wounded and unable to battle anymore. The eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with was filled with hatred and fear.


    This human Tier 4 martial artist actually beat him to severe injuries!


    "Now, can I take over this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Looking at Ye Yuan, An Xuan even had the heart to die.


    This time, it was really trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice. Not only could he not gain one Thunder Essence Fruit, but he was also even beaten until severely injured.


    An Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Consider yourself ruthless! Let''s go!"


    "No way! You guys can''t leave!" Yu Xin was just about to stop them but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    Under An Bing''s assistance, An Xuan and the rest ran away with their tails between their legs.


    Yu Xin stomped her feet angrily and said begrudgingly, "You barely managed to beat An Xuan until he was severely injured. How can you let him go easily?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Although this Thunder Essence Fruit doesn''t have great use to Tier 6 experts, it''s absolutely a rare treasure. You think that with An Xuan here, their old ancestor won''t pay attention to this incident? Beating up An Xuan with just severe injuries is fine. But if you want to kill him, the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan will have to receive the wrath of the snake clan''s old ancestor. Can you guys . . . receive it?"


    Ye Yuan had long seen through that the strength of this Azure Mountain Region''s Tier 6 old ancestors were roughly the same and were wary of each other. That was why they tacitly agreed to let the juniors go and clash.


    Although Yu Huan''s strength was a little weaker, she definitely had her own trump card too.


    An Xuan''s strength was not bad. The snake clan''s old ancestor definitely regarded him very highly.


    If they really killed An Xuan, the snake clan''s old ancestor would definitely blow his top off.


    At that time, the two clans fighting it out, Azure Mountain Region''s balance would be broken. It was likely very hard for the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan to win and they might be in danger of being annihilated.


    "This . . . "


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yu Xin could not help being taken aback.


    The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was currently on its last legs. How could they endure the wrath of the snake clan''s old ancestor?


    "If you want to kill An Xuan, you''ll have to let your own strength become strong. With these Thunder Essence Fruits, why fret that you won''t be An Xuan''s match in the future? That fellow is nothing to be feared," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Only after Yu Xin heard this did her worry turn to joy as she said happily, "Mister Ye, by right, this fruit grove belongs to you now. Could it be that you''re really going to five one-fifth to us?"


    [0] Thunder is basically a synonym for lightning in CN novels, unless specified otherwise.

 638 Maturing Overnigh

    "That is, of course!" Ye Yuan agreed without any hesitation.


    Getting an affirmative answer, even with Yu Xin''s composure, she almost jumped up too.


    Although she held back a little in order to uphold the identity of a young lord, the feelings of excitement was written on the face.


    "That''s great! Big Brother Ye Yuan is really a very nice person!"


    Yu Shu could not care that much and directly grabbed Ye Yuan''s arm and started swinging.


    This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove was not small. Even one-fifth was also not a small number.


    With these Thunder Essence Fruits, the fox clan''s strength would surely have a substantial increase. Those like Yu Xin might even be able to surpass An Xuan within a short time.


    Even the ice-cold Yu Leng had a grateful smile hanging on her face at this time too.


    "Really great! These Thunder Essence Fruits at most still have a month to maturity. At that time, see who still dares to bully our fox clan!" Yu Xin said agitatedly.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A month? Too long! Do you feel that the snake clan will let us wait a month here peacefully?"


    Yu Xin''s heart thumped, "You''re saying . . ."


    "If they can''t obtain the Thunder Essence Fruits, how can they possibly watch us wait here for the Thunder Essence Fruits to mature? Once they return to the clan, they will definitely spread this news out. At that time, the fox clan will become a target for all," Ye Yuan said.


    "Then . . . Then what to do? My fox clan is only the weakest existence among the Tier 6 demon races. We simply can''t beat the other demon races! If . . . if the Blackwind Demonic Wolves get this intel . . ."


    Yu Xin did not dare to continue thinking.


    According to Ye Yuan''s deductions, the fox clan was in an extremely perilous situation.


    Initially thought that they picked up a treasure. Who knew that it turned into a hot potato in a blink of an eye.


    Sometimes, obtaining a treasure was a huge lucky chance, and one could soar to the heavens in one bound because of it. However, if one did not have sufficient strength to protect these treasures, it would attract trouble, even a fatal calamity.


    "Heh heh, simple. As long as you harvest these Thunder Essence Fruits before others come, that will do."


    Ye Yuan was totally unconcerned as if he was talking about something trivial and ordinary.


    Except, Yu Xin was unable to understand, "Harvest now? But these Thunder Essence Fruits are not matured yet right now. The effects are not even 10% of the matured period!"


    Such a weak effect, eating it and not eating it was also not much different.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not ripe, we can make it ripen! Go, follow me back to the clan."


    Yu Xin carried thick doubt and followed Ye Yuan back to the clan.


    Although she was brimming with curiosity, Ye Yuan not talking, she also sensibly did not ask.


    . . . . . .


    At the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan territory, An Xuan''s complexion was deathly white but with unwillingness and rage written all over.


    "An Bing, spread the news of the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove out for me! Now, immediately, right away! Remember, you must let Wolf Fang know!" An Xuan said furiously.


    "This . . . let Wolf Fang know, and we won''t get a single Thunder Essence Fruit," An Bing said hesitantly.


    "Humph! Do you think that we can get them now? I really didn''t expect that that brat actually possesses such pure dragon race bloodline. If not for so, how could I have been defeated by him?" An Xuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan only defeated An Xuan flawlessly by relying on the suppression of bloodline power.


    Although Ye Yuan could temporarily breakthrough to Fourth Level Soul Sea by relying on Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, to want to defeat the middle-stage Tier 4 An Xuan, it was still a little lacking.


    Speaking of this, An Bing felt depressed.


    Even though he was a bit better than the rest, he was also not much better.


    Previously, under Ye Yuan''s dragon race oppression, he was practically in a half-kneeling state already.


    Only his strength could barely withstand the dragon race oppression.


    "Young Lord, if it really can''t be done, we better invite Old Ancestor to come out," An Bing said.


    An Xuan''s expression changed, and he rebuked, "Don''t mention this matter anymore! Do you want to make the Azure Mountain Region descend into a great war? Go now and spread the news about the Thunder Essence Fruits."


    After An Bing left, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.


    "Apologies, Old Ancestor. Xuan-er was incompetent."


    An Xuan was not surprised by the arrival. This person was the Darkshadow Lightning Snake Clan''s old ancestor, An Rong.


    "That boy''s strength indeed somewhat exceeded expectations. He actually possesses extremely pure dragon race bloodline. I was not far away back then. This matter can''t be blamed on you," An Rong said coolly.


    An Xuan raised his head to take a look at An Rong wanting to speak but stopped.


    "Anything you want to ask, just ask away," An Rong said.


    "The fox clan harboring humans, can''t we use this as an excuse to exterminate them? With Old Ancestor''s strength, that Yu Huan should not be a match."


    Actually, An Xuan was very puzzled too. Why was his own old ancestor present but did not take any action?


    "Huhu, to be able to become a Tier 6 demon clan, which one would be a pushover? It''s true that my strength is stronger than Yu Huan''s. But the fox clan definitely has hidden cards that we don''t know about. Unless it''s a last resort, we won''t make a move," An Rong said with a smile.


    An Xuan''s gaze turned intent, and he revealed an apprehensive expression.


    The snake clan naturally had their own hidden cards too. But to be able to make Old Ancestor wary as well, seems like every Tier 6 demon clan was not to be underestimated!


    . . . . . .


    After Ye Yuan returned to the tribe, he paid a visit to several high-level shamans in the clan.


    After coming out of their places, he started closed-seclusion.


    That evening, Ye Yuan exited seclusion. There was already a large group of people packed at the entrance.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Yu Xin went forward and asked fidgety, "How is it?"


    Ye Yuan threw her a large bag and said smilingly, "Of course it succeeded! This thing is called Jingyan Powder. Dissolve it with water, then sprinkle it on the roots of the Thunder Essence Fruit Trees.


    Yu Xin''s expression became strict, and she said to Yu Leng, "Heard Mister Ye''s words? Bring people to handle it right now!"


    "Yes!" Yu Leng received the order and left.


    "Come, let''s go to the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove. It should be roughly done tomorrow morning," Ye Yuan said.


    Yu Leng was still very capable and experienced when doing things. Very soon, she finished watering all of the Thunder Essence Fruit Trees.


    "Alright, everyone has toiled for a day. All take a rest yourself. Tomorrow morning, we''ll see the outcome," Ye Yuan said.


    The next morning, that power of thunder and lightning which was terrifying until it made people feel asphyxiated, startling everyone awake.


    "My God, how is this possible? Overnight, these Thunder Essence Fruits actually all matured!"


    "Too inconceivable! Mister Ye is truly god-like. To actually be able to turn something rotten into something magical!"


    Yu Shu leaped up happily. "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you''re really too incredible! That whatever Jingyan Powder, I couldn''t discern any mystical aspect. But it actually produced such an inconceivable effect!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is just the lowest grade Jingyan powder. If the materials were sufficient, making these Thunder Essence Fruits ripen instantaneously isn''t impossible either. But sadly, the conditions were limited. This Jingyan Powder''s grade was still a little low. The Thunder Essence Fruits matured through acceleration, they will still lose around 10% of the effect."


    As an alchemist, it was coming into contact with these spirit medicines year in year out.


    Forget about the Thunder Essence Fruit, even those Tier 8, Tier 9 spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had ways to accelerate their maturing too.


    But with the current conditions, to be able to achieve this step was already extremely not easy.

 639 Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!

    "I don''t even dare to imagine that these Thunder Essence Fruit could actually all ripen overnight! This is simply an ability that gods and devils can''t fathom! Some trifling flaws, Mister Ye don''t need to take it to heart."


    By the side, Yu Xin had already been dazed long ago. The scene that happened before her eyes was seriously too miraculous.


    As for the 10% loss, she did not care at all.


    These many Thunder Essence Fruits was enough to make up for that bit of loss.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop looking. Everybody go in and harvest the Thunder Essence Fruits. This stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove isn''t small. One-fifth of the Thunder Essence Fruits should be plenty for you all to use. Move a bit faster. I reckon that there are already people on the way."


    Yu Xin nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Mister Ye."


    The allure that these Thunder Essence Fruits had towards the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was seriously too great. Their combat strength leaned to the weak side originally. These Thunder Essence Fruits was an opportunity for them to become strong!


    Ye Yuan also entered the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove but did not immediately harvest the Thunder Essence Fruits.


    Previously, Ye Yuan already estimated the Thunder Essence Fruits visually before. One Thunder Essence Fruit Tree had around a hundred Thunder Essence Fruits. This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove had roughly a hundred over Thunder Essence Fruit Trees. Adding them up, there was roughly ten thousand and two to three hundred Thunder Essence Fruits.


    Splitting one-fifth and giving to the fox clan, Ye Yuan himself had around close to ten thousand in quantity.


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not need so many Thunder Essence Fruits. When just starting to refine the Thunder Essence Fruits, one could indeed receive excellent effects and could rapidly increase the power of thunder and lightning.


    But consuming too much, the effects would be greatly discounted, all the way until at the back, there would be virtually no effects.


    According to Ye Yuan''s estimation, him refining three thousand Thunder Essence Fruits alone was about there.


    But Ye Yuan was not very concerned about these. He started strolling around the grove, looking in all directions constantly, seemingly searching for something.


    The grove was not big. Ye Yuan looped once very quickly, but his brows started to furrow, "Could it be that my conjectures were wrong? This Thunder Essence Fruit Grove''s appearance was just a coincidence? Impossible. These Thunder Essence Fruits'' quality is pretty good. There must be a thunder-attribute treasure nearby!"


    Ye Yuan did not give up, sauntering around the grove again.


    But circling around several times, Ye Yuan still did not have any discovery.


    Just as he was almost giving up, he suddenly glimpsed an inconspicuous Thunder Essence Fruit Tree out of the corner of his eyes.


    That Thunder Essence Fruit Tree was exactly the same as the other trees and did not seem to have any difference. But Ye Yuan accidentally noticed just now that that Thunder Essence Fruit Tree grew a small flower on it.


    The small flower was not big. If one did not look carefully, they would not notice at all.


    It was just that this small flower on the tree branch appeared very disharmonious.


    But it not being harmonious, Ye Yuan did not mind. Because with Ye Yuan''s understanding towards heaven and earth spiritual forms, this little flower by itself was sufficient.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth as he muttered to himself, "Huhu, nearly got fooled by you! Didn''t expect that this stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove was actually catalyzed and formed from an Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood! No wonder it has such quality! Your disguise was indeed flawless. But no matter how you disguise, this Origin Magnetism Spirit Flower can''t be concealed. Because that''s where the quintessence of your lifeblood lies."


    Ye Yuan was astonished and pleasantly surprised at this time. He had long guessed that this stretch of Thunder Essence Fruit Grove definitely had a thunder-attribute treasure. But he never thought that this treasure was actually an Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was a thunder-attribute supreme treasure. After a martial artist refined it, not only could they possess the power of thunder and lightning, they could even evolve along with the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s evolution.


    This Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was the jinx of all corrupt and wicked things in the world!


    Possessing the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, a hundred evils could not invade!


    Such a treasure, even Ye Yuan could not resist being moved too!


    This Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was a psychic thing. When Ye Yuan slowly approached, a chunk of wood separated from that Thunder Essence Fruit Tree and was going to escape far away.


    Ye Yuan was prepared long ago. How could he give him the chance to escape?


    Straight away, Ye Yuan''s finger moved lightly. A tuft of flames instantly surrounded the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. That was precisely the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s original body!


    Under Ye Yuan''s painstaking nurturing, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame already infinitely approached Tier 5. Its power was even less comparable from in the past.


    What the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood feared most was fire. Now that Ye Yuan''s essence fire came out, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood immediately froze there, not daring to even move.


    Thunder belonged to Metal. What it feared the most was fire, let alone Ye Yuan''s essence fire.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate. Using the essence fire to confine the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he started refining directly.


    This Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s rank was not high. It was merely just a Tier 5 object.


    It was also fortunate that it was like this that those Tier 6 old monsters were not moved. If this Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood matured a little more, the Thunder Essence Fruits catalyzed would probably not be that simple anymore.


    If even those Tier 6 old monsters were moved too, then it naturally had no business to do with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Around two hours later, Ye Yuan finally finished refining the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    During the process of refining, Ye Yuan obtained tremendous benefits too. The most straightforward reaction was breaking through a minor realm right away, reaching peak Third Level Soul Sea!


    Just one more step and Ye Yuan could break through to middle-stage Soul Sea.


    Ye Yuan breaking through, the commotion caused would naturally not be small.


    Yu Xin did not think that Ye Yuan would actually break through here. Afraid of her clansmen disturbing Ye Yuan, she commanded that people were absolutely not permitted to go over and disturb Ye Yuan.


    All the way until Ye Yuan finished refining the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, then only did Yu Xin go over to say hi.


    "Congratulations to Mister Ye for breaking through! Mister Ye is truly a cultivation genius. Just how long has it been and you actually broke through to the Third Level Soul Sea already!"


    At the same time she was congratulating, Yu Xin was overwhelmed with a vicissitude of emotion too.


    Don''t look at how Yu Xin''s age did not seem old. Actually, she was already over a hundred years old.


    It was just that her age was not considered old in the demon race.


    But Ye Yuan was a true-blue teenager. Such improvement speed truly made people perspire from shame.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Huhu, just a minor boundary. Doesn''t count as much. Are the Thunder Essence Fruits all harvested finish?"


    Yu Xin nodded and said, "Earlier, I saw that Mister Ye was breaking through over here, so I didn''t let them come here to collect. The other places'' Thunder Essence Fruits are already harvested finish."


    As she was talking, Yu Xin passed Ye Yuan a storage ring. "Mister Ye, these are your Thunder Essence Fruits. There are a total of ten thousand. Please check."


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, directly receiving the storage ring and saying, "Alright. I''m going to refine the Thunder Essence Fruits on the spot. You help to guard me."


    Yu Xin gave Ye Yuan a somewhat surprised glance, but nodded her head and did not say anything.


    A thunder-attribute treasure like this, whoever saw it would not be able to resist refining directly as well. Ye Yuan''s conduct was within reason too.


    Actually, after Ye Yuan refined the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, the enhancement that these Thunder Essence Fruits had to the power of thunder and lightning within his body was already very limited.


    The reason why he chose to refine in front of Yu Xin was only just in order to pull the wool over people''s eyes.


    If he did not refine the Thunder Essence Fruits, using the power of thunder and lightning at that time would appear too unexpected.


    One could not be without vigilance against others. The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood this kind of treasure, even Tier 6 experts would be moved when they saw too.


    One had to know that this thing could evolve. As long as one slowly nurtured with their essence energy, evolving to Tier 6 was also just a matter of time.


    God knows if Yu Huan would have any malicious intent aroused if she saw this Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.Just a tidbit. The five elements are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Some may ask, what about wind, or lightning. They actually belong to one of the five elements. Through my intense googling, wind belongs to wood. Certain novels like RMIJ, I believe wind/lightning spiritual roots are mutated from two elements combining or something. The author is god and pulls whatever he wants.

 640 Wolf Fang!

    At present, rays of brilliance appeared on Ye Yuan''s body, his imposing momentum looking very appalling.


    This was not a false impression that Ye Yuan constructed. Different from the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s internal effect, the effects of the Thunder Essence Fruit manifested outwards.


    Ye Yuan swallowed over a thousand Thunder Essence Fruits in one go. It was also no wonder he would have such a powerful aura.


    Yu Xin was long stunned by the side. There were actually people who refine Thunder Essence Fruits like this. If it were her, she would have long been directly stuffed to death by the powerful thunder and lightning force.


    It was just that Ye Yuan had the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood as the base and his physical body was exceedingly formidable too. So these Thunder Essence Fruits were nothing much to him.


    "Not good! Young Lord, we''re surrounded by the Crimsonwater Nether Scorpion Clan and the Flux Gold Rat Clan! They said to let us hand over the Thunder Essence Fruits!"


    Ye Yuan was currently refining the Thunder Essence Fruits when a fox clan''s member came in front of Yu Xin in a fluster.


    Yu Xin''s expression changed, and she said, "Came so quickly!"


    "Go, head outside and sweep away these cannon fodders first, and the main guy will most likely have to come out."


    Yu Xin turned her head around and discovered that Ye Yuan already finished the refinement and walked behind her.


    Ye Yuan brought Yu Xin along and exited the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove together, and discovered that a large group of people already arrived outside at present, encircling the fox clan tightly.


    "Gu Xie, Goldsun, you guys actually came to my fox clan''s territory to act wildly. Do you really take us to be easy to bully?" Yu Xin said furiously to the two at the front.


    Ye Yuan gave that Gu Xie and Goldsun a measuring gaze and discovered that their strength was actually not weaker than An Xuan.


    But very clearly, these two people were only here to spearhead the attack. The true opponent had yet to appear.


    Ye Yuan was rather curious how powerful that Wolf Fang''s strength was, to actually be able to order this Crimsonwater Nether Scorpion Clan and the Flux Gold Rat Clan.


    That Gu Xie took a glance at Yu Xin and said with a cold smile, "Thunder Essence Fruit this sort of heaven-defying treasure, could it be that your fox clan wishes to pocket without sharing? Our Crimsonwater Nether Scorpion Clan doesn''t want much either. Just three thousand will do!"


    Goldsun was shifty-eyed, but said with a sinister look, "Those who see has a share! Our Flux Gold Rat Clan only want three thousand Thunder Essence Fruits as well!"


    Yu Xin was just about to fly off the handle when Ye Yuan stepped forward and said coolly, "Those who see has a share? Did you guys saw it?"


    Goldsun could not help stopping. Taking a look at the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove behind Ye Yuan, how was there still any hint of the Thunder Essence Fruits?


    Very clearly, those Thunder Essence Fruits were long harvested clean by the fox clan.


    "Heh, you''re the human brat that the fox clan took in? Yu Xin, your fox clan truly has such incredible nerve, to actually dare to risk universal condemnation and take in a human!"


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s identity, Yu Xin was not worried long ago. She said indifferently, "Mister Ye possesses extremely strong dragon race bloodline and is one family with our demon race. What''s the meaning of your words?"


    "Enough nonsense! The essence energy that this brat cultivates is exceptionally pure. If he isn''t human, can he be of the demon race?" Gu Xie said disdainfully.


    "Humph! It''s true that the essence energy Mister Ye cultivates is extremely pure. But the dragon blood in his body is even purer! Didn''t An Xuan tell you guys that he nearly kneeled down under Mister Ye''s dragon pressure?" Yu Xin said without yielding in the slightest.


    Gu Xie and Goldsun were both taken aback inwardly when they heard. They only knew that the fox clan took in a human boy and truly did not know that Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline was actually so powerful.


    An Xuan''s strength was not weaker when compared to any one of them, and he actually could not endure Ye Yuan''s dragon pressure. How pure did the bloodline on this brat''s body have to be?


    "Humph! Boasting, you got to prepare a draft too! How can a puny little human possibly possess such pure dragon race bloodline? Yu Xin, you''re too naive! You don''t think that you can scare us away with just a few words, right?" Goldsun said with a cold sneer.


    Evidently, Goldsun did not believe that Ye Yuan could possess such pure dragon race bloodline at all.


    How was this possible?


    Forget about Ye Yuan, even in the entire God Prohibited Demon Region, there was no one with such pure dragon race bloodline!


    Ye Yuan looked at Goldsun and Gu Xie. Giving a light snort, he said disdainfully, "Two morons!"


    Gu Xie and Goldsun''s faces both changed. Their eyes became sharp, and they said in chorus, "Boy, are you courting death?"


    "The ones courting death are you guys!"


    As he said this, Ye Yuan''s dragon might was released fully. The imposing momentum on his body rose to the peak!


    Gu Xie''s and Goldsun''s expressions changed drastically. Only at this time did they know that Yu Xin''s words earlier was not exaggerated in any aspect at all.


    This Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline was too daunting!


    The current Ye Yuan in their eyes was like a lofty celestial deity, while they themselves were two ants.


    Similar with An Xuan, the demonic essence in Gu Xie and Goldsun''s body became restless and unsettled. That sort of desire to submit sprouted out uncontrollably.


    While the clansmen behind them all kneeled down one by one as if paying respects to a sovereign.


    "Two morons. Being exploited as cannon fodders by people and are still gleeful like children! The Thunder Essence Fruits are right here. If you have the capabilities, come and take them yourselves!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Each time Ye Yuan broke through a minor boundary, the dragon blood within his body would be stimulated even further. The dragon race''s pressure on his body would be even more as well!


    The dragon pressure that he released now was even stronger than what An Xuan felt back then!


    Gu Xie and Goldsun did their utmost best to resist Ye Yuan''s dragon pressure. Complicated expressions appeared on their faces.


    They discovered that what Ye Yuan said was not wrong at all. They did not know anything and came running to the fox clan to raise a hue.


    They originally thought that the fox clan was just a soft persimmon, and under their two clans'' partnering up, the fox clan would surely suffer a great deal.


    In the end, only after they arrived here did they discover that this human brat was actually this powerful!


    An Xuan that punk definitely suffered a huge loss at Ye Yuan''s hands. Otherwise, why would he be so nice to reveal the news about the Thunder Essence Fruits?


    Gu Xie''s and Goldsun''s bowels turned green from regret!


    "Still not scramming off for me?!" Ye Yuan glared and said fiercely.


    "Heh, what an arrogant tone! Even if you possess dragon race bloodline, you''re merely just a Tier 4 trash, that''s all! A hero isn''t so easy to be!"


    Right then, a voice suddenly was heard.


    Right on the heels, a figure charged towards Ye Yuan with incredible speed!


    "Ah! Mister Ye, be careful!"


    Yu Xin had just finished shouting to warn him, but that figure arrived in front of Ye Yuan long ago.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    In a blink of an eye, that figure already exchanged several dozen moves with Ye Yuan like lightning!


    By the time everyone came to their senses, Ye Yuan and that figure already separated.


    Such an exchange simply made people feel out of breath!


    All the way until now did everyone finally see clearly who the arrival was. When the fox clan saw the arrival, their faces all changed drastically, especially Yu Xin.


    This person was the Wolf Fang who nearly killed her!


    This man was the strongest person in the entire Azure Mountain Region''s junior generation. Standing there, an overwhelming aura emitted out.


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, his aura could actually contend with Ye Yuan''s dragon pressure as equals!


    Indeed, Wolf Fang was still powerful, same as before.


    "Can''t even take me, this trash, down. Looks like you, this dumb wolf, are nothing more than just a trash as well," Ye Yuan looked at the Wolf Fang opposite and said coolly.

 641 Demonic Transformation

    Wolf Fang''s expression darkened, and he looked towards Ye Yuan and said, "A sharp tongue. You don''t know life from death! Hand over the Thunder Essence Fruits, and I''ll spare you from death!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Said that you''re dumb and you''re still unwilling to concede. Now, I''ll tell you to hand over your inner core. Will you hand it over or not?"


    "What a sharp tongue. As long as you have this capability, no harm in taking it away either," Wolf Fang said with a cold smile.


    "I''ll return these words to you as well. If you have the capabilities, take the Thunder Essence Fruits away," Ye Yuan said without any reservation.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan had constantly been hearing how incredible and powerful Wolf Fang was and really wanted to experience it a little.


    With that round of testing the waters earlier, although both parties knew that the other guy''s strength was not weak, they both did not feel that they would lose.


    Geniuses all had their own pride and absolute self-confidence. How could they admit defeat that easily?


    But Wolf Fang''s strength was indeed very formidable. He could actually rely on his own strength to cut off the dragon pressure. This was absolutely not what ordinary demons could do.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that this Wolf Fang should have awakened divine beast bloodline. Even though it was extremely faint, his cultivation realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. Using it to withstand the dragon pressure was still achievable.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not plan on relying on the dragon pressure to be able to make myriad beasts submit either. In the end, he still had to rely on his own fist.


    "Alright then. I''ll come and take it myself!"


    Wolf Fang finished talking and swept over towards Ye Yuan directly like a fierce gale.


    "Illusionary Wolf Fang Fist!"


    In midair, Wolf Fang suddenly manifested countless incarnations, covering the sky and earth as he attacked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just gave a vacant smile when he saw the situation. He then slowly closed his eyes.


    Heart Like Monolith!


    Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!


    Ye Yuan directly entered into Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm and broke through to Fifth Level Soul Sea.


    Even the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog could not confuse Ye Yuan. How could merely illusions hoodwink Ye Yuan''s eyes?


    Under Heart Like Monolith, all activities in the surroundings were all within Ye Yuan''s grasp.


    Talking about it was slow, but all of this was actually something that happened in a blink of an eye.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan turned around abruptly and unleashed a punch at Wolf Fang!


    Bang!


    The illusions which filled the skies scattered. Ye Yuan and Wolf Fang were both blasted flying out by each other.


    The exchange this time, they were evenly-matched!


    Yet, this was completely not the case the way others saw it.


    Wolf Fang was practically the synonym for invincibility in the Azure Mountain Region.


    There was nobody who could view his back in the young generation at all.


    But this opening move earlier was actually unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    When Gu Xie and Goldsun saw this scene, their faces had unspeakable solemness.


    "Did this fellow make a wild guess? This move of Wolf Fang''s can be said to be unsolvable. How did he know that was Wolf Fang''s true self?" Gu Xie said in astonishment.


    Wolf Fang''s Illusionary Wolf Fang Fist was very famous in the entire Azure Mountain Region. Gu Xie naturally knew its power.


    But it was precisely because he knew that the shock in his heart was even greater.


    Those illusions were all condensed and formed by Wolf Fang with essence energy. Each one had Wolf Fang''s aura, and this caused an immensely confusing situation. Differentiating which one was real was exceedingly difficult.


    But those illusions did not seem to have any effect at all in front of Ye Yuan. In just a twinkle, Ye Yuan found the main body.


    Illusion-type martial techniques had a trait. As long as one found the main body, this move was basically useless already.


    But the problem was, did Ye Yuan really see through it, or was his luck good?


    "Should be . . . a wild guess, right? How can this move of Wolf Fang''s be that easy to crack?" Goldsun had shock written all over his face too.


    Wolf Fang''s expression was as dark as water. He similarly did not believe that Ye Yuan cracked his martial technique that easily.


    "Illusionary Wolf Fang Fist!"


    Wolf Fang unleashed this martial technique once more, and the commotion this time was even more massive than before!


    For a moment, the sky was filled with Wolf Fang''s illusions!


    This time, Wolf Fang hid even more carefully. He was confident that Ye Yuan absolutely could not see through.


    Yet, things did not develop like he imagined. Ye Yuan accurately found him once again!


    Rumble!


    The two people were evenly-matched again!


    "It''s not a wild guess! This . . . How did he find the real body?" Gu Xie''s face had shock written all over it.


    "How can this fellow be so strong? Luckily, we didn''t fight with him just now. Otherwise . . ."


    Goldsun recalled how arrogant they were to Ye Yuan just now and was filled with fear after the incident at this time.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan only pressured them with dragon pressure earlier and did not really attack. Otherwise, they would definitely be too miserable to look at right now.


    Yu Shu had an excited face currently. She grabbed hold of Yu Leng''s hand and said agitatedly, "Big Brother Ye Yuan is so incredible! Big Brother Ye Yuan is so incredible! Did you see that, Big Sister Yu Leng? That is Wolf Fang! Wolf Fang is actually helpless against Big Brother Ye Yuan!"


    Even though the shock that Ye Yuan brought to Yu Leng was already a lot, it was far from as intense as this time.


    Wolf Fang was practically an undefeatable existence in their hearts. But facing Ye Yuan, he actually could not do anything at all!


    Yu Leng believed that as long as the fox clan protected the Thunder Essence Fruits, they would surely rise up!


    "I saw it! I saw it! Mister Ye he is really formidable! Maybe . . . maybe encountering Mister Ye is our fox clan''s enormous lucky chance!"


    The current Yu Leng actually swept away the frost manner she had previously and became like Yu Shu; becoming Ye Yuan''s loyal admirers.


    "Hehe, Big Sister Yu Leng, you were still saying to definitely kill Big Brother Ye Yuan back then. Now, you''re actually also . . ."


    "Shut up! You, this lass, asking for a beating is it? I, that . . . that . . ."


    "Hehe, just kidding! I know that Big Sister Ye Leng was also for the sake of the fox clan," Yu Shu said with a giggle.


    "Terrific lad. Indeed rather capable. No wonder you''re so rampant!" Wolf Fang said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "It''s not that I''m capable, but you, this dumb wolf, are too stupid. Illusions this sort of hollow display is only good for fooling some rookies, that''s all. You aren''t relying on this to be so unbridled in the Azure Mountain Region, right?"


    When Ye Yuan''s words were said, everyone had an impulse to spew blood.


    Was this a hollow, empty display of skill? Then what was genuine ability?


    "Humph! So what if you''ve broken my illusions? Now, I''ll let you take a look at what I''m relying on to be so unbridled in the Azure Mountain Region!"


    When Wolf Fang finished talking, his entire person''s aura transformed. His body gave off thick black gas.


    "Young Lord Wolf Fang actually demonized!"


    "This fellow is truly terrifying. I''ve been at the Azure Mountain Region for so long and have yet to see anybody who can force Young Lord to demonize!"


    "Young Lord possesses the Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline. After demonic transformation, his strength will have a huge increase. This fellow is dead for sure!"


    Wolf Fang''s demonic transformation caused a stir. Very clearly, this sort of demonic transformation was very rarely seen.


    After demons take form, maintaining human form was beneficial to their cultivation. But their truly powerful state was still demonic transformation state!


    Under the black gas''s embrace, a savage black demon wolf appeared in front of everyone.


    The demon wolf revealed sharp wolf fangs and sharp claws, looking very harrowing.


    Wolf Fang''s pair of pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Yuan ferociously, his gaze revealing a murderous gleam.


    But when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he laughed without any care and said, "I say, turns out that you, this dumb wolf, still has some capabilities. To actually possess the divine beast Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline. But . . . isn''t this bloodline of yours a little too faint?"


    The demonized Wolf Fang actually uttered human words out of his mouth. He said, "I hope that you can still laugh in a while."

 642 Origin Magnetic Field!

    Swoosh!


    Wolf Fang had just finished speaking, and he instantly vanished from sight!


    Bang!


    An intense collision. Ye Yuan was knocked flying out directly.


    After the demonic transformation, Wolf Fang''s speed was simply unfathomable.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, practically no one could see Wolf Fang''s trajectory trails clearly.


    "Ah! Big Brother Ye Yuan!" When Yu Shu saw this scene, she could not help getting a huge shock and was going to dash towards Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    It was only to hear the sound of the air howling. Wolf Fang actually headed for Yu Shu!


    But at this time, there was already nobody who could react to it.


    Except for Ye Yuan!


    Bang!


    Under the situation where no one saw how he made his move, Ye Yuan was sent flying out hugging Yu Shu.


    "What happened just now? Wasn''t that brat injured? How did he save that little fox?"


    "No idea! Couldn''t see it clearly at all! The two of their speed is too fast!"


    "Too scary! After Wolf Fang demonized, his speed and strength most likely increased a fold. This brat could actually still react to it! If it were me, I''d have been directly killed in a single move by Wolf Fang!"


    Just now, in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, Ye Yuan reached Yu Shu''s side instantly, and he blocked the attack of Wolf Fang whose strength had skyrocketed.


    But the scene that happened earlier was seriously too fast. Ye Yuan could only just save Yu Shu. Therefore, Wolf Fang still succeeded, wounding Ye Yuan.


    "Puhwark!"


    A mouthful of blood spewed from Ye Yuan''s mouth. Fresh blood dyed Yu Shu''s clothes red.


    "Ahh! Big Brother Ye Yuan, it''s all my fault! Sniff, sniff . . . If not in order to save me, you wouldn''t have suffered injuries! Sniff, sniff . . ." Yu Shu started crying in Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    Ye Yuan received a blow from Wolf Fang; his insides were experiencing indescribable pain.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan avoided the attack from reaching his vitals by a hair earlier. Or else, he would already be a dead person now.


    This Wolf Fang was truly unscrupulous. When fighting with him, he actually still dared to harm the innocent!


    If it were others, then forget it. But Ye Yuan''s impression towards Yu Shu was pretty good. He naturally could not bear to watch her be killed by Wolf Fang passively.


    Succeeding in one blow, Wolf Fang finally revealed his figure.


    "Boy, you indeed have some skills. Under my demonized state, you can actually barely manage to keep up with my speed! But your heart is too soft and not suitable for this world where the prey is food and the strong feast. A person like you is bound to not walk far!" Wolf Fang said delightedly with a gaping, savage-looking mouth.


    Just now, Yu Shu suddenly ran out. Wolf Fang had a flash of inspiration and thought of sneak attacking Yu Shu.


    In the end, Ye Yuan really fell for it, using his own body to help Yu Shu block this attack.


    Nobody felt that Wolf Fang doing this was in any way inappropriate. The demon world was this cruel. Whoever could live, whoever would be the victor.


    Ye Yuan slowly stood up but did not pay attention to Wolf Fang''s taunts. He forced a smile at Yu Shu and said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan is fine. Big Brother Ye Yuan will help you all slaughter these fellows, alright?"


    "Sniff, sniff, don''t, don''t! You''re already hurt and definitely not Wolf Fang''s match! We''d better give the Thunder Essence Fruits to them," Yu Shu said sobbingly.


    If it were others, Ye Yuan would surely think that this was being afraid of Wolf Fang. But Ye Yuan knew that this little lass was thinking about his safety.


    If Yu Shu clung to life and feared death, she would not have run out suddenly just now as well.


    Even a fool knew that that kind of situation was very dangerous.


    "Hahaha! What shameless boasting! You couldn''t even keep up with my speed when you were at full power! Now that you suffered heavy injuries, what''s your basis for killing me? Boy, just based on this sentence of yours, I''ll let you die a horrible death!" Wolf Fang said savagely.


    Ye Yuan pushed lightly, sending Yu Shu to Yu Xin''s side.


    "Take good care of Yu Shu. If anything happens, you''ll be held responsible!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yu Xin''s expression changed, and she said with a nod, "Rest assured. With me around, she''ll be fine!"


    Yu Xin had thought that Ye Yuan was using Yu Shu as an excuse all along. She did not think that Ye Yuan actually disregarded his well-being and almost lost his life under Wolf Fang''s claws earlier for Yu Shu''s sake.


    Could it be that . . . Ye Yuan was interested in Yu Shu?


    Otherwise, why would he strive so desperately?


    To talk about looks, she was only above Yu Shu''s. Ye Yuan had no reason to take fancy on Yu Shu!


    Yu Xin obviously did not know that as long as Ye Yuan acknowledged a friend, he would do this for all.


    Settling Yu Shu down, Ye Yuan involuntarily looked at Wolf Fang and said, "You, a dumb wolf, court death yourself. Then don''t blame me!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished!


    But Wolf Fang gave a cold snort and said, "Shameless boasting! Overestimating your own ability!"


    Finished talking, his figure unexpectedly vanished too!


    Bang!


    The two people clashed once more. But this time, Wolf Fang was sent flying out directly!


    The Wolf Fang after the demonic transformation, his skin was coarse, and his flesh was thick. Ye Yuan''s attack did not cause much damage to him.


    He crawled up with a grunt, a look of disbelief revealed in his wolf gaze.


    "How is that possible? What my Blacksky Divine Wolf Bloodline specializes most in is speed. How can you possibly be even faster than me?"


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Dumb wolf! Ignoring that your bloodline is pitiably thin, even if you''re really of the Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline, do you really think that you''re unbeatable? Get ready to take a beating!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from sight once again!


    "Impossible! It must be a fluke just now!"


    Wolf Fang vanished once more as well!


    Bang!


    Without any surprise, Wolf Fang was beaten flying by Ye Yuan once more!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not give Wolf Fang the chance to talk anymore, directly pouncing over!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    . . . . . .


    Other people could not see how the two people attacked at all. But they all saw that during every exchange, Wolf Fang was beaten flying by Ye Yuan.


    Very clearly, Wolf Fang could not keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed!


    Each hit was like a heavy hammer smashing onto everyone''s heart.


    Gu Xie was shocked to his core. "How is this possible? Wolf Fang''s scariest thing is his speed. But he actually trounced Wolf Fang utterly in speed!"


    "Just how did this fellow accomplish it? I clearly feel that his speed isn''t as fast as Wolf Fang''s. But each time, it''s Wolf Fang getting beaten. Why is this so?" Goldsun said in bewilderment.


    "En? Seems like it''s really what you said! But . . . just why is this so?"


    Wolf Fang was depressed until he wanted to vomit blood right now!


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan''s speed was clearly slower than his. But every time he was almost going to touch Ye Yuan, it was like sinking into a quagmire; his speed slowed down instantaneously.


    Then afterward, he helplessly watched Ye Yuan pummel him brutally!


    "Awoo . . . Awoo . . . Awoo . . ."


    The surroundings did not have much noise. Only howling sounds sounded over from time to time.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan used his feet to kick, directly kicking Wolf Fang into the ground.


    Ye Yuan stood in the air, just like a war-god.


    Rumble!


    Wolf Fang directly tunneled out from the mud and snarled, "You . . . Just what kind of heretic skill did you use? Why is it that once I arrive in front of you, it''s like entering a marsh?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Dumb wolf, I''ll let die with a clear understanding then. This is called Origin Magnetic Field! Alright, enough fun. I can send you on your way now!"

 643 Divine Beast Oppression!

    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was a thunder-attribute supreme treasure, possessing power that ordinary people could not imagine.


    The Thunder Essence Fruits were catalyzed by the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, and these could already make the demon races wanted to snatch them. Even Wolf Fang, the strongest person of their generation, could not resist showing up. Then how powerful the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood itself was, one could only imagine it.


    Ye Yuan''s research regarding floras had already reached the standard of acme of perfection and was not foreign to this Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    And the Origin Magnetic Field was one of the strongest attributes of the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!


    This Origin Magnetic Field was an existence similar to a gravity field. But it was goodness knows how many times stronger than ordinary gravity fields. Unless the martial artist''s strength was much stronger than the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s rank, otherwise, it was simply impossible to break free from the Origin Magnetic Field.


    Unfortunately, Wolf Fang could not reach such a standard. So once he entered the Origin Magnetic Field, he could only be at the mercy of Ye Yuan.


    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was extremely rare. Furthermore, its elusiveness was very high.


    If it were somebody else, they could not possibly discover that within this Thunder Essence Fruit Grove, there was still an even higher grade treasure existing.


    Hence, Wolf Fang was unable to comprehend why he was being pummeled by Ye Yuan, and this was also within reason.


    Actually, Ye Yuan was not planning on killing Wolf Fang originally. Because he did not wish to offend the Tier 6 old ancestor behind Wolf Fang.


    But just now, Wolf Fang almost killed Yu Shu. This made Ye Yuan really give rise to killing intent.


    Ye Yuan''s aura erupted abruptly, sweeping towards Wolf Fang with incredible speed. Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage accumulated strength for release!


    As long as Wolf Fang entered the Origin Magnetic Field, he would be at the mercy of Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was greatly taken aback.


    They did not think that Ye Yuan really dared to take his life. One had to know that that mighty entity behind Wolf Fang was the Azure Mountain Region''s pinnacle existence!


    If he killed Wolf Fang, Ye Yuan would not be far from death as well.


    The might of a Tier 6 powerhouse was not what ordinary people could imagine.


    "Boy, if you dare to kill me, you''ll die without a burial ground!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan dashed over, this time, Wolf Fang was truly frightened.


    He had always commanded the wind and rain in the Azure Mountain Region and had never been so close to death before.


    He had also never thought that someone would dare to kill him.


    But now, when this person really showed up, Wolf Fang discovered that he was actually indescribably terrified.


    He struggled to crawl up and ran for his life. But he was already severely wounded right now. How could he run still?


    "Then you give it a try and see if I dare to kill you or not!"


    Ye Yuan was talking, but his hands did not slow down the slightest bit. He caught up to Wolf Fang in a blink of an eye and launched a punch over!


    Right at this instant, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Ye Yuan''s red colossal dragon was actually halted in midair forcefully, unable to advance an inch!


    An extremely terrifying strength instantly shackled Ye Yuan up!


    Crack!


    Under this strength, the colossal red dragon was actually crushed to smithereens directly!


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. "A Tier 6 expert!"


    This power, Ye Yuan was all too familiar. This was the power belonging to a Tier 6 Boundless Realm powerhouse!


    Back then, Zhao Tianyin used this move to crush Ye Yuan until he practically kneeled onto the ground!


    But at that time, Ye Yuan was just a puny little Crystal Formation Realm who had no leeway to resist at all.


    The current Ye Yuan was already more than a hundred times stronger than back then!


    Even if he was not a Tier 6 expert''s match, it was also not without the slightest chance to struggle.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. An unparalleled aura instantly erupted.


    This time, he did not scruple to employ the nameless essence energy!


    Crack!


    The surrounding space seemed to be shattered. Ye Yuan actually shook off that shackling force directly!


    Right then, a figure silently appeared in front of Wolf Fang.


    "Human boy, you indeed have some capabilities! Just at the Soul Sea Realm and you can actually shake off a Tier 6''s essence energy confinement!" said the figure coolly.


    It was also that Ye Yuan was very opposed to this sort of essence energy restraint. Because it made him remember the humiliation back then. That was why he stopped at no expense and employed the nameless essence energy.


    Before his eyes was a middle-aged man dressed in black. His body gave off a faintly discernible power, making people have a feeling of being unable to grasp it.


    But without any doubt, he was that Tier 6 powerhouse who had made a move!


    "Looks like you are the Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan''s old ancestor, Lang Hun." Ye Yuan looked at the other party, his expression slightly darken.


    The pressure that this Lang Hun gave him was too great!


    Ye Yuan could sense that even though this Lang Hun was only initial-stage Tier 6, he was much stronger than Zhao Tianyin!


    Lang Hun did not seem to be mind Ye Yuan''s ''rudeness.'' He said coolly, "That''s right. This old man is precisely Lang Hun. You almost killed Wolf Fang just now. This score, how should we settle it?"


    Ye Yuan seemed to be indifferent to this and said coolly, "Wolf Fang, he deserves to be killed!"


    His reply was only several simple words but sonorous and forceful.


    Ye Yuan would never explain that he did not wish to kill people. That way seemed to show that he was apprehensive of the other party.


    Forget about facing a Tier 6 expert. Even if a Tier 9 powerhouse were standing in front of Ye Yuan, he would not lower his head either!


    This was the pride of a peak Alchemy Emperor, and this was also Ye Yuan''s own lofty and unyielding character!


    If he wanted to kill people, then he would kill!


    Towards Ye Yuan''s attitude of not even feeling like explaining, a flicker of amazement flashed across Lang Hun''s eyes too, and even . . . a trace of wariness.


    This point, probably even he himself did not detect it too.


    In the Azure Mountain Region, whoever dared to climb on top of his head had to explain a little no matter what, right?


    But this boy in front of him actually dared to be so unbridled!


    Was this fellow really a hothead? Or was he ignorant of how the world works?


    But being scorned by a junior like this, Lang Hun also felt that his face had nowhere to put. His tone deepened slightly as he said, "Boy, don''t say that this old man didn''t give you the opportunity. Wolf Fang is my Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan''s successor. You touched him, so you must pay a corresponding price!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, and he said nonchalantly, "Make a move then!"


    Ye Yuan decided that even if he had to unleash all of his trump cards, he would also have to chop off a wolf''s leg!


    Lang Hun was stunned again. This brat . . . really made people speechless!


    He clearly did not have the intention of killing people. Could this brat really not tell?


    If he really wanted to kill people, why would he talk so much crap with Ye Yuan?


    It was naturally not that Ye Yuan could not see it. He also knew that the other party was waiting for him to give a stage to step down.


    But in Ye Yuan''s eyes, the other party was not worthy at all!


    Nobody could make him, Ye Yuan, lower his head!


    "Humph! Brat, I know that you have extremely pure dragon race bloodline and must also be proud because of this. Since that''s the case, I''ll punish you with divine beast bloodline! I''ll let you know that someone from the dragon race that has not matured is nothing!" Lang Huan said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan was stunned and had not reacted yet when a pressure that blotted out the sky and earth engulfed everything swept over towards him.


    This sort of pressure was very similar to the dragon pressure that he released previously. But without any question, this divine beast oppression was much, much stronger than his!


    This was a true divine beast oppression!


    When the Blacksky Divine Wolf''s bloodline emerged, who could compete with such being!


    The next instant, all the demon races present were all brought deeply into submission, not even having the courage to raise their heads!


    And the true dragon bloodline within Ye Yuan''s body actually automatically welled up under this divine beast oppression!

 644 Dragon Lord!

    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan felt his entire body was burning hot.


    He felt like every cell in his body seemed to be burning.


    And all of this was not under his control at all. It was all guided by the dragon blood in his body itself!


    But Ye Yuan did not intentionally try to suppress it. Instead, he left it entirely to its discretion.


    Ye Yuan knew that even though he already wiped away the dragon blood''s original will, the proud dragon race bloodline was still unable to tolerate the oppression of the Blacksky Divine Wolf, this sort of trash bloodline!


    Therefore, it activated by itself!


    The Blacksky Demonic Wolf bloodline in Lang Hun''s body was extremely thick. Adding in the suppression of rank, Ye Yuan''s bones were rattling from being crushed.


    But the proud dragon race bloodline could not tolerate any bit of insult at all!


    One had to admit that Lang Hun''s Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline was truly incomparably pure; it was entirely not what Wolf Fang that half-baked demon could compare to.


    Ye Yuan on the other hand, although his dragon race bloodline was very pure, there was still a large portion that had yet to be digested by his body.


    It was not that Ye Yuan did not wish to, but Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was seriously too low.


    A half divine beast rank dragon blood, even if a Tier 7 or Tier 8 powerhouse came to refine it, they would not be able to fully digest it either.


    The road of Ye Yuan refining the dragon blood still had a long way remaining.


    The majority of the dragon blood''s power was hidden in Ye Yuan''s blood vessels. Being stimulated by the Blacksky Divine Wolf''s pressure at this time, it seethed uncontrollably.


    "ARGH!!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan lifted his head and gave a long howl. An unparalleled dragon race oppression erupted from his body.


    Lang Hun had that sort of calm and collected expression all along. But at this moment, his expression became incomparably ugly!


    An azure light indistinctly appeared and faded on Ye Yuan''s body and actually isolated him completely from his divine beast oppression!


    No matter how Lang Hun powered his divine beast oppression, he discovered to his dismay that he could not advance an inch at all!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan snapped opened both eyes. An extremely shocking gaze burst forth from his eyes.


    Puchi!


    Ye Yuan''s upper-garment broke off inch by inch!


    Under Lang Hun''s horrified gaze, a white scale actually faintly emerged on Ye Yuan''s body!


    This white scale presented as a crescent moon shape, giving people a soul-stirring pressure!


    "R-Reverse scale!"


    Lang Hun sucked in a cold breath. Clearly, he was immensely shocked by the scene before his eyes.


    Dragons had a reverse scale that must not be touched!


    Lang Hun initially only wanted to give Ye Yuan a lesson. He did not expect that it actually stimulated the dragon race bloodline within Ye Yuan''s body, making Ye Yuan''s body give birth to a reverse scale.


    Body manifesting a reverse scale! Ye Yuan''s true dragon bloodline advanced a step further!


    Boom!


    Lang Hun was actually frightened by Ye Yuan''s aura and directly fell back several steps!


    And that originally soul-stirring Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline was directly scattered into a mess by Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum.


    Those demon races were still kneeling submissively on the ground. But the expression on their faces became different.


    Previously, each and every one of them clenched their jaws tightly. Clearly, it was caused by the divine beast bloodline suppression.


    But now, each of their faces was all incomparably pious. That was worship coming from the heart!


    A true king did not cow all living creatures into submission with martial power but made all life look up to him from the bottom of their hearts.


    The Blacksky Divine Wolf clearly did not possess this sort of qualifications!


    And the ones possessing this sort of qualifications was probably only the Four Great Divine Beasts, that sort of level of a powerhouse!


    "What were you saying just now? A dragon that has not matured is nothing?" Ye Yuan already recovered to normal at this time, looking at the befuddled Lang Hun and said coolly.


    Lang Hun''s expression had indescribably ugliness. Being questioned by Ye Yuan like this, his old face could not help reddening.


    Earlier, he was still thinking of using bloodline to suppress Ye Yuan. Who knew that he overreached himself and was actually counter-suppressed by Ye Yuan!


    This face smacking act, it was really resounding.


    Only at this instant did Lang Huan deeply experience what was called a true dragon race bloodline.


    The reason why Lang Hun was wary of Ye Yuan was because of his dragon race identity.


    The dragon race. This was a race that made all the demon races apprehensive!


    Possessing a powerful divine beast bloodline, Lang Hun could understand the might of the dragon race bloodline even more.


    With Ye Yuan''s dragon blood purity, he definitely had extremely deep connections with the dragon race. If they really touched Ye Yuan, once the dragon race retaliated, the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan was inadequate.


    If what flowed in Ye Yuan''s body was the bloodline of other races, Lang Hun would have slapped him to death long ago. Why would he talk so much rubbish with him?


    "This . . . It was this old man''s fault. This old man apologizes to Mister Ye on behalf of the Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan!"


    With this, everyone was stunned!


    Ye Yuan already put away the dragon race oppression on his body at this time. Those demon races also raised their heads one by one, and then they saw this scene.


    The Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan old ancestor standing at the pinnacle of the Azure Mountain Region actually lowered his head to a youth two major cultivation realms lower than him!


    This scene was simply too unbelievable!


    Just as everyone had stupefied looks, an aged figure floated down. It was precisely Yu Huan!


    "Yu Xin and Wolf Fang stay behind. The rest all disperse for me! Those who stay, kill without mercy!"


    Yu Huan''s Tier 6 expert aura undulated out. Everyone shivered in fear secretly!


    At this time, Lang Hun opened his mouth too, "All get lost for me!"


    Two mighty Tier 6 powerhouses present, it was not up to the others to dare say anything else. They could only disperse by themselves.


    Very soon, there were only five people outside of the Thunder Essence Fruit Grove; wolf clan''s two people, fox clan''s two people, and Ye Yuan.


    Actually, up until now, Ye Yuan was also very puzzled the entire time as well.


    He could not figure out why Lang Hun''s change of attitude would be so apparent.


    But the following scene made Ye Yuan even more amazed.


    Yu Huan and Wolf Fang exchanged a look and actually bowed down towards Ye Yuan at the same time.


    "Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan, Lang Hun (Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan, Yu Huan), pays respect to Dragon Lord!" The two people both gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan, making Ye Yuan have a bewildered look.


    "Hang on, what are you guys talking about? Why don''t I understand anything at all? Dragon Lord . . . What''s a Dragon Lord?" Ye Yuan waved his hands and asked.


    It was not just Ye Yuan, but Yu Xin and Wolf Fang both also had blank looks on their face.


    They could not figure out at all why their own old ancestor would have this attitude towards Ye Yuan!


    One had to know that the two old ancestors were both Tier 6 experts; they were existences that could do whatever they wished in the Azure Mountain Region!


    But such experts actually bowed down towards a human Tier 4 martial artist!


    Lang Hun hesitated for a bit and said, "Dragon Lord has just given birth to your reverse scale. There are probably still many things that you don''t know. Wait until Dragon Lord''s strength becomes powerful and you''ll naturally know everything. The matters of the dragon race are not what our lesser races can meddle in. Lang Hun and Wolf Fang have offended Dragon Lord previously. Dragon Lord, please forgive!"


    Ye Yuan felt at a loss on what to do. At the behest of supernatural powers, he followed with a sentence, "If I don''t forgive?"


    Bang!


    Lang Hun directly slapped a palm onto Wolf Fang''s body, sending him flying.


    Except that his gaze did not have any hint of pity at all. He bowed towards Ye Yuan again and said, "This old man has wasted ten years of Wolf Fang''s cultivation. I hope that Dragon Lord forgives his actions prior to this! Wolf Fang possesses the Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline after all. Dragon Lord, please show leniency!"


    That scene earlier happened too quickly, resulting in Ye Yuan not reacting at all.


    He only asked a sentence probingly just now and did not expect that Lang Hun directly took action and wasted ten years of Wolf Fang''s cultivation.


    This identity of Dragon Lord . . . seemed to be pretty decent!

 645 Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Ar

    Inside a deep hall in the Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan, Wolf Fang had a look of indignation.


    "Old Ancestor! With your strength, killing that brat is as easy as blowing away dust! Why do this?! Ten years of cultivation!" Wolf Fang roared.


    Slap!


    One slap from Lang Hun directly smacked Wolf Fang flying out.


    "Who gave you the nerve to speak to me like that?" Lang Hun expression fell slightly as he said.


    Half of Wolf Fang''s face was swollen high up. He covered his face, disbelief was written all over his face.


    He was the Blackwind Demonic Wolves Clan''s darling. Old Ancestor had always valued him highly. But this time, Old Ancestor actually wasted ten years of his cultivation because of Ye Yuan. This made him unable to comprehend.


    Only at this instance did Wolf Fang recall that his own old ancestor was not a nice person to deal with.


    It was just that so many years of indulgence towards him made him forget this fact.


    Now that Old Ancestor was enraged, Wolf Fang was also thoroughly startled awake.


    "O-Old Ancestor, I . . . I was just agitated for a moment and forgot my sense of propriety. Old Ancestor, please forgive!" Wolf Fang said aggrievedly.


    "Humph! This old man doing this naturally have the reason for doing so! You, as the Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan''s Young Lord, if you can''t even understand this point as well, what do I want you for?" Lang Hun said with a cold snort.


    Wolf Fang was startled inwardly. He lost his head in his anger just now, that was why he lost his presence of mind.


    Ten years of bitter cultivation ruined in a day. How could Wolf Fang be calm in his heart?


    "Among our demon races, many possess the dragon race bloodline. But in this God Prohibited Demon Region, those possessing true dragon bloodline are as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns! That brat birthing a reverse scale, he is of the genuine dragon race! And genuine dragons only came out from inside there. Understood?"


    When mentioning ''inside there,'' these two words, Lang Hun seemed to have recalled something terrifying and was incomparably fearful.


    Same as Lang Hun, Wolf Fang was similarly greatly surprised.


    Seeing Wolf Fang''s expression, Lang Hun knew that he understood and said coolly, "Now, you understand why this old man did that, right?"


    Wolf Fang nodded his head solemnly and said, "Old Ancestor, it was all Wolf Fang being rash and nearly ruined an important affair. Old Ancestor, please punish!"


    "Not to the extent of punishing. I also didn''t expect that that brat called Ye Yuan actually possesses orthodox true dragon bloodline. Initially, I was just thinking of teaching him a lesson. Didn''t expect that I actually helped him to advance a step further!"


    "But that Ye Yuan is clearly a human. Why would he possess orthodox true dragon bloodline?" Wolf Fang said in puzzlement.


    "I''m not sure about this either. But no matter what, this brat definitely has extremely deep connections with the dragon race! At any rate, it''s also not what we, the lesser races, can meddle in."


    As he said, Lang Hun supported a fruit from underneath in his palm and threw it to Wolf Fang, saying, "Eat it. It''s enough to compensate ten years of your cultivation! You have the strongest Blacksky Divine Wolf bloodline in my Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan. When doing things in the future, don''t be so rash!"


    Wolf Fang received that fruit, his face revealed an expression of wild elation as he hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, Old Ancestor!"


    . . . . . .


    A similar scene likewise happened in the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s domain. What was different was that Ye Yuan was present too.


    "Every few hundred years, a young dragon race expert will come out from that place. We refer to him as Dragon Lord! Every generation''s Dragon Lord''s appearance would all leave behind a legend! Their bloodline power is too strong. Once they mature, they are virtually unrivaled! We suspect that Dragon Lord is the young dragon race expert sent out from there to be tempered. Calculating according to the time, there should roughly be a dragon lord appearing as well," Yu Huan said.


    Ye Yuan asked curiously after listening, "I''m just a human, not some dragon lord. That Lang Hun can''t even see this point?"


    Yu Huan shook her head and said, "Of course he could tell. But this doesn''t stop him from feeling wary of you! The dragon race''s might is simply not what we, the lesser races, are able to imagine. Even if you''re human, your ties with the dragon race are definitely very deep too. Lang Hun he dare not take this risk! Furthermore, the Dragon Lord birthing a reverse scale, would be a real dragon. Saying that you''re the Dragon Lord, nobody dares to not believe it either."


    "Like this huh . . . Is that whatever Dragon Lord really so powerful?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    "More than just powerful. Every generation''s dragon lord''s appearance would stir up a sanguinary slaughter in the God Prohibited Demon Region. And among them, the vast majority all became invincible existences in the God Prohibited Demon Region!" Yu Huan said.


    "Alright then. Since Lang Hun is mistaken, then let him be mistaken to the end. Either way, I''m not some dragon lord. Old Ancestor Yu Huan doesn''t need to address me like so as well. En . . . I''ll enter closed-seclusion for a few days first, then set off for Dongming Region," Ye Yuan said.


    "This . . ." Yu Huan wanted to speak but stopped herself.


    "What? If there''s anything, just say. Hesitate for what?" Ye Yuan said perplexedly.


    "Dragon Lord, you are going to Dongming Region this time, so make sure to be careful of the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan. Don''t get into a conflict with them."


    "En? Why?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "On the path of the previous generation dragon lord''s rise up, he directly annihilated the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s Young Lord. They have an irreconcilable death feud with the dragon race. The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan are also divine beast progenies. Their dragon race bloodline is extremely strong, and they do not fear the dragon race."


    Ye Yuan came to understand, but he said without any care, "My goal this trip is in order to find the Azure Spirit Tree. As long as they don''t come and provoke me, I naturally won''t go and provoke them."


    After obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree, Ye Yuan should be thinking of ways to leave the God Prohibited Demon Region too.


    The outside world''s war, the Endless World''s situation was probably not looking good. Ye Yuan could not quite set his mind at ease as well.


    . . . . . .


    In the dense forest, lightning revolved around Ye Yuan''s body. A cool breeze followed.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from sight!


    When he appeared again, Ye Yuan''s figure was already several tens of thousands of feet away.


    And this was merely just something which happened in a blink of an eye.


    "Huuu . . . This Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art is really hard to train. In three days, I''ve only just learned the fundamentals. But even if it''s just learning the basics, if I run into Wolf Fang now, I can also completely trounce him in speed!" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    These three day''s time, Ye Yuan had been training this Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art all along.


    This was an extremely formidable martial technique. But the cultivation conditions and difficulty were extremely harsh. One needed to comprehend wind and thunder, two kinds of concepts, at the same time. Furthermore, it needed to reach the level of true intent simultaneously!


    Ye Yuan had long comprehended the True Intent of Wind Flow. But to want to train in this martial technique, he lacked the True Intent of Thunder.


    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was a natural thunder-attribute supreme treasure, carrying the Concept of Thunder itself. With Ye Yuan refining the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he could muster the Concept of Thunder at the same time; it was no different from comprehending it himself.


    Now that the wind and thunder true intents were already mastered, Ye Yuan could finally cultivate this martial technique!


    The formidable aspect of this martial technique was that it could advance in the wake of the martial artist''s concepts comprehension advancing. If Ye Yuan grasped a supreme true intent, then his speed would be heaven-defying.


    But the training difficulty of this Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art still somewhat exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    Three day''s time, Ye Yuan merely cultivated this skill to the Entry Level.


    Although it was just entry level, Ye Yuan''s current speed was much greater than before too!


    "Ugh . . . absorbing the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and consuming the Thunder Essence Fruits, me breaking through to the Fourth Level Soul Sea now is already something that happens naturally as the channels are formed!" Ye Yuan said.

 646 Misunderstanding

    "Quickly look! Someone is transcending tribulation!"


    "Yii? That direction, isn''t it where Mister Ye is cultivating at? Could it be Mister Ye is transcending the tribulation?"


    "Isn''t Mister Ye initial-stage Tier 4? You look at how terrifying the tribulation clouds in the sky are. Why does it look like transcending a Greater Heavenly Tribulation?"


    All of a sudden, the tribulation clouds suddenly arrived. Inside the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan immediately became lively.


    Many people all knew that Ye Yuan went into the dense forest to cultivate, but did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually going to break through to middle-stage Soul Sea Realm so quickly.


    After human martial artists broke through to the Soul Sea Realm, every minor stage breakthrough would likewise invoke a heavenly tribulation.


    It was just that this sort of heavenly tribulation, compared to the 5-in-9 heavenly tribulation Ye Yuan transcended previously, was way lacking.


    Such a heavenly tribulation was called Lesser Heavenly Tribulation.


    Although the might could not be compared to a Greater Heavenly Tribulation, the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation similarly appeared according to the martial artist''s strength. A moment of carelessness and one would still lose their lives and go to the netherworld.


    Ye Yuan''s Lesser Heavenly Tribulation was terrifyingly powerful; it was completely not like a Tier 4 martial artist transcending tribulation.


    Yu Xin looked at the tribulation clouds far away and murmured, "Mister Ye''s strength in itself is too powerful. The heavenly tribulation brought down is too terrifying. Even if it''s me, I don''t dare to say that I can transcend this heavenly tribulation either. Is this . . . really a Lesser Heavenly Tribulation? Such a heavenly tribulation, can Mister Ye . . . transcends the tribulation successfully?"


    "Big Brother Ye Yuan is so incredible even when transcending tribulations! I believe that with Big Brother Ye Yuan''s strength, he can definitely transcend past it!" Yu Shu had long become Ye Yuan''s brain-dead fan already.


    "You, this lass, are really heartless! I know that Mister Ye is incredible. But this heavenly tribulation isn''t a joke! No, wait . . . In that heavenly tribulation, there still seems to be a soul tribulation! Dual-tribulations arriving together! Mister Ye he . . . he''s actually transcending the heavenly tribulation and soul tribulation at the same time . . ." Yu Xin drew a cold breath.


    Yu Xin felt that her brain somewhat could not quite wrap itself around it.


    Regardless who transcended tribulations, they would all choose to transcend the heavenly tribulation and soul tribulation separately.


    But Ye Yuan actually wanted to transcend simultaneously! How powerful a self-confidence did this need?!


    When Yu Shu heard Yu Xin say so, her tiny fists clenched tightly too. Clearly, she was very worried, but she still said stubbornly, "No matter what, Big Brother Ye Yuan will definitely be fine!"


    Yu Xin looked at Yu Shu and could not help being at a loss for words.


    If it were before, she would definitely reproach Yu Shu for being insensible. But now, she knew that Ye Yuan regarded Yu Shu with special attention. No matter what, she did not dare to say this sort of words to Yu Shu anymore.


    The audience were currently discussing animatedly when suddenly, a clear sound of a dragon roar came from the distance.


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, a colossal red dragon surged upwards, heading straight for the skies!


    Boom!


    The massive dragon directly dispersed the tribulation clouds, leaving everyone staring with a dumbfounded look and agape mouths.


    "This . . . Isn''t this too exaggerated as well?"


    "I''ve never seen before that one could still transcend tribulations like this!"


    "Mister Ye is indeed well-deserving of someone possessing the dragon race bloodline. This strength . . . is too heaven-defying!"


    . . . . . .


    After roughly ten days, three figures passed through a broad path.


    "Big Brother Ye Yuan, I . . . I can''t anymore! You and Young Lord''s movement speed are seriously too fast! I . . . I . . ." behind Ye Yuan, Yu Shu said while gasping for air.


    Originally, Yu Huan was only planning on letting Yu Xin accompany Ye Yuan alone. Who knew that Yu Shu sneaked out directly and tailed behind Ye Yuan and Yu Xin, the two of them, along the way.


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, how could Yu Shu possibly conceal it?


    Before long, Yu Shu was ferreted out.


    But Ye Yuan did not say much and brought her along straight away.


    In comparison to Yu Xin, Ye Yuan still liked Yu Shu, this innocent and radiant little lass, more. With her accompanying along the way, it was pretty good too.


    The three people passed through multiple regions along the way. Yu Xin brought to play a fair bit of effect.


    She was very clear about the distribution of the topography and avoided those clans who were slightly stronger. This whole trip, they did not run into any danger.


    Occasionally, there were some blind clans, that could not even withstand Ye Yuan''s true dragon oppression.


    "En. Rushing on the journey these two days was tough. Let''s rest here for a bit then," Ye Yuan said.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was not idle either. He could just make use of the journeying time to train. He had been cultivating the Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art constantly.


    These ten over days, this martial technique was already cultivated to minor accomplishment realm!


    If not for the sake of waiting for Yu Xin and Yu Shu, he would have reached long ago.


    The three people directly took a rest by the roadside. Yu Xin said, "Ahead along this road, there''s still half a day''s journey, and we''ll be able to enter the Dongming Region''s boundary. The Azure Mountain Region is only a place which is next to the border. Dongming Region is the God Prohibited Demon Region true core region. The races here, regardless whether it is the numbers or individual strength, are on entirely different levels from the Azure Mountain Region. The Blackwind Demonic Wolf Clan, when placed here, are merely just among the below-average to average clans."


    Towards the might of this God Prohibited Demon Region, Ye Yuan had long gotten used to it.


    Any single one of the clans that randomly walked out of here could sweep across a small world!


    "En. When you send me to the Darkfiend Tiger''s domain, bring Yu Shu along and head back. At that time, I''ll naturally have compensation," Ye Yuan said.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Yu Xin and Yu Shu both revealed expressions of reluctance.


    But they also knew that this here was not their world. The Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan was too weak and completely could not adapt to the law of the jungle here.


    Ye Yuan making them go back was actually protecting them.


    The three people rested for a bit, then set off for Dongming Region.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that once they entered Dongming Region''s boundary, they got surrounded by a group of burly men.


    The strength of the dark-faced brawny man leading the group was not ordinary; he was at the peak initial-stage Tier 5 cultivation.


    It was just that he indiscriminately said, "Heh heh, you spies. Want to secretly infiltrate my Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan? Dream on! Brothers, pummel them!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression fell. This bunch of fellows said that they were spies without rhyme or reason. Truly courting death.


    When a brawny man brandished a hammer that was just about to land on Ye Yuan''s head, Ye Yuan''s figure unexpectedly vanished!


    "ARGH!!"


    It was only to hear a miserable cry. The dark-faced brawny man leading was directly lifted up by Ye Yuan and slammed onto a large tree.


    Peak initial-stage Tier 5 expert actually did not have the slightest leeway to resist under Ye Yuan''s might!


    The Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art coupled with the Origin Magnetic Field, his strength mowed down all resistance!


    Those big, stupid bears did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made a move at all.


    "You, these fellows, are so unreasonable! We only want to borrow the path here. Provoked you and you want to viciously kill us?" Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    That dark-faced burly man''s build was extremely large but was pinned onto the tree by Ye Yuan. No matter how he struggled, he could not shake free either. His face grew black and red.


    "Cough . . . cough, cough . . . If you have . . . If you have the capabilities, kill me! Young Lord will definitely take revenge for me! You spies, want to infiltrate our territory to fish for information, no way!" The dark-faced burly man said chokingly.


    Ye Yuan had a baffled look and said crossly, "We just want to go to the Darkfiend Tiger''s territory and need to pass through from your place here, that''s all. What spies and whatnots?"


    The burly man was stunned too and said, "You guys . . . you guys aren''t here for the Firesource Crystal?"

 647 Easing up the Line to Reel in More Easily

    "Firesource Crystals?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed as he said.


    "Ah! I . . . I didn''t say anything!"


    The dark-faced burly man realized that his tongue slipped and hurriedly covered up his mouth.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was a misunderstanding and naturally could not kill people randomly as well.


    This dark-faced burly man was slow in the head. Although he transformed into human form, he was still a big, dumb bear.


    Ye Yuan still had not figured out the situation yet, and this big, dumb bear let his tongue slip himself.


    But the Firesource Crystals that this big dumb bear mentioned really moved Ye Yuan somewhat.


    Firesource Crystal was a kind of ore crystal containing extremely rich firesource power. To fire-attribute martial artists, it was greatly beneficial to cultivation.


    But what Ye Yuan minded was not this. His Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had already reached the juncture of advancing ranks. This Firesource Crystal just happened to able to help the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame evolve.


    Ye Yuan loosened his grip and said coolly, "I already said, we''re just passing through. If you still harass unreasonably, I won''t be courteous."


    He was easing up the line here to reel him in later. Although the big dumb bear was stupid, if Ye Yuan expressed interest in the Firesource Crystals, the big dumb bear would definitely be able to discern something.


    So when he expressed no interest in the Firesource Crystals at all, this brawny man indeed fell for it.


    That brawny man was very surprised when he saw Ye Yuan loosening his grip and said, "You guys . . . You guys really aren''t here for the Firesource Crystals?"


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "What Firesource Crystals and whatnot? How many times do you want me to say to you, we''re only passing through!"


    When the brawny man saw that Ye Yuan was not interested in the Firesource Crystals at all, he also felt that he was too rash earlier and hurriedly apologized in embarrassment. He said, "Sorry about that, this little brother. It was I, Xiong Hui, who didn''t figure out the situation. Seriously sorry about it. Yii, no, wait, you''re a human!"


    Only at this time, did this brawny man react to it, and his expression could not help changing as his expression darkened once more.


    "Hump! Big Brother Ye Yuan possesses true dragon bloodline! Much nobler than you, this big dumb bear!" Yu Shu said indignantly.


    The brawny man turned his head and looked at Ye Yuan suspiciously.


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile. The dragon pressure on his body emitted out was faintly discernible. The brawny man could not help being taken aback.


    This dragon pressure was extremely orthodox and was no joke.


    "So, it''s the dragon race''s successor. Xiong Hui was impolite," Xiong Hui hastily said humbly.


    "En, looking at your flustered manner, seems like you''ve run into some problems. Just a few pieces of Firesource Crystals. It''s not so serious until you guys have to kick up such a fuss, right? It''s also that you ran into me. If it were other people, they would have already killed all of you just now!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "This . . . "


    Xiong Hui revealed a hesitant look. Clearly, he was in a dilemma on whether to tell Ye Yuan or not.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently when he saw the situation, "Since you have something awkward to disclose, it''s fine to not say either. We still have to hurry on our way. Let''s say our farewells here. Uh . . . but I have to remind you, although Firesource Crystals are greatly beneficial to your Firesource True Dipper Bear clan, the fire poison in the Firesource Crystals are exceedingly hard to remove. When using, be a little more careful. Yu Xin, Yu Shu, let''s go."


    This Firesource Crystal was indeed very rare. The fire-attribute was already very powerful. But those who knew that it contained fire poison within were not many.


    Because when ordinary people absorbed Firesource Crystals, they could not possibly absorb in large quantities. Because they could not withstand the firesource power in the Firesource Crystals at all.


    But the Firesource True Dipper Bears were different. They were innately a fire-attribute demon race and had a very strong affinity towards firesource power. The more Firesource Crystals they absorb, the better.


    Yet, when absorbing the firesource power in the Firesource Crystals, one would not sense anything for a short while. But following the Firesource Crystals absorbed getting increasingly more, the accumulation of fire poison would get progressively deeper. By the time it was discovered, the poison would basically have attacked the vitals already.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan walked forward without even turning his head back.


    Ye Yuan''s words directly breached Xiong Hui''s mental line of defense.


    Ye Yuan had just walked out a couple of steps when Xiong Hui yelled out from behind, "Please wait, Little Brother!"


    "En? Is there anything else? We still have to hurry along our way and don''t have time to waste on you all." Ye Yuan pretended to be impatient and said.


    Xiong Hui hurriedly said, "Little Brother has wide experience and extensive knowledge. To actually know the drawbacks of Firesource Crystals! It''s just, I wonder if Little Brother has ways to remove the poison?"


    "So what if I do, so what if I don''t? Weren''t you not even willing to say anything earlier? As it happens, I''m not willing to listen as well. So don''t be long-winded." Ye Yuan turned around once more and wanted to go.


    Xiong Hui seeing Ye Yuan so steadfast felt even more certain. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little Brother, Xiong Hui has given offense just now! Given offense! I''ll tell Little Brother the matter exactly as it is. If Little Brother can provide a way to eradicate the poison, I believe that Young Lord and Clan Head will definitely be endlessly grateful!"


    Actually, Ye Yuan already guessed some things long ago through Xiong Hui''s attitude.


    This Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan definitely had somebody who refined and absorb Firesource Crystals without heed for their lives, resulting in poisoning themselves.


    But the incident should not end here. Otherwise, this Xiong Hui also would not go so far as to get alarmed over nothing, killing on sight.


    Only upon hearing Xiong Hui''s words did Ye Yuan finally know what happened to the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan.


    Turns out that some time ago, a Firesource Crystal ore vein was discovered within the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s territory. This made the bear clan thrilled to death.


    They mined a batch of Firesource Crystals, and the Clan Head, Xiong Zhan, started refining and absorbing them in a hurry.


    This Xiong Zhan was peak initial-stage Tier 6. After absorbing this batch of Firesource Crystals, he would surely be able to break through to middle-stage Tier 6!


    The allure of advancing ranks was seriously too great!


    Of course, the reason why Xiong Zhan was in a hurry to increase his strength was actually in order to let the bear clan suppress the adjacent Purple Flood Dragon Clan.


    Xiong Zhan was completely unaware that refining Firesource Crystals still had this sort of negative effect. The result was that he overreached himself. Now, not only was he unable to break through, he instead became tangled with fire poison and was completely unable to eradicate it,


    Even though the bear clan locked down the news immediately, the Purple Flood Dragon Clan seemed to have perceived a little something. This period of time, they kept on testing the bear clan non-stop.


    Xiong Zhan was in closed-seclusion right now. The Young Lord, Xiong Tie, could only order people to seal off all gateways to the territory to prevent the Purple Flood Dragons from doing anything fishy.


    The result was this scene earlier happening.


    Ye Yuan could not help finding it funny in his heart when he heard. He was even somewhat puzzled how these big dumb bears contended with the Purple Flood Dragon Clan until now.


    Sending people to seal off all entrances and exits. Wasn''t this making it more conspicuous the more they tried to conceal it?


    Even if the Purple Flood Dragon Clan did not know anything, they could also guess that something must have happened to the bear clan.


    It would be weird if they did not plunder a burning house at this time!


    Furthermore, Xiong Hui this kind of big dumb bear, Ye Yuan had not even asked anything yet, and he confessed himself. Ye Yuan really did not know what he should say.


    "Little Brother, if you can help Clan head remove the fire poison, my Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan will definitely thank you generously!" Xiong Hui said.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and opened his mouth, "No problem with letting me help your Clan Head remove the fire poison. But I have a condition!"


    Xiong Hui said, "As long as you can let Clan Head recover anew, forget about one condition, even a hundred conditions won''t be an issue!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, actually this condition is also in line with saving your Clan Head. I want 50 pieces of Firesource Crystals!"

 648 Refining Firesource Crystals!

    "50 pieces?! Firesource Crystals?! Why don''t you go and rob us?!"


    Xiong Hui jumped up immediately. This was simply demanding an exorbitant price. Could it be that this fellow did not know the preciousness of Firesource Crystals?


    But with Ye Yuan opening his mouth here, Xiong Hui''s eyes became alert too.


    Messing around for so long, this Ye Yuan was aiming for the Firesource Crystals still!


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I have Tier 5, or even Tier 6 strength right now, I would naturally have no need of Firesource Crystals. Forget it, forget it. Since you feel that I''m plotting for your Firesource Crystals, then just take it as I never said it. Let''s go."


    Xiong Hui was stupefied by Ye Yuan and could not differentiate the truth from the false at all.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was going to leave, he hurriedly stopped Ye Yuan. "Little Brother, don''t go! Dear me, Little Brother, don''t go! This matter, I can''t make the decision either. I need to have our Young Lord make the final call. How about . . . Little Brother take a trip back to the clan with me?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Nah, nah. I''m rushing for the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s territory for an urgent matter. Let''s say goodbye here!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan really brought Yu Xin and Yu Shi and left without even turning his head back. No matter how Xiong Hui shouted, he no longer turned back either.


    Xiong Hui watched Ye Yuan''s distant back view, gritted his teeth, and said to a subordinate, "You go and keep an eye on those three. Make sure not to lose them! I''ll report to Young Lord right away. If that little brother can really cure the poison, then he''ll be our Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s savior!"


    . . . . . .


    "Big Brother Ye Yuan, are we really leaving just like this?" Yu Shu asked curiously.


    She could sense that Ye Yuan was definitely very interested in that Firesource Crystal. Otherwise, he would not have rambled so much with that big dumb bear either.


    But she never expected that Ye Yuan actually really left. Wasn''t this going to pass by the Firesource Crystals by a narrow chance?


    "You dumb lass. Mister Ye is easing up the line to reel in more easily later!" Yu Xin clearly thought deeper than Yu Shu and perceived it long ago.


    Ye Yuan did not mind and said smilingly, "If I behave too zealously, those big dumb bears will feel that I have other motives instead. But if I behave like it was not worth a single glance, they would definitely feel that I really have the ability. Their clan head got inflicted with fire poison. If it isn''t removed, it will be like bone-infesting maggots, making his life worse than death. At that time, the bear clan will be in danger. Hence, they will definitely come and find me."


    Yu Shu opened her mouth wide and said with a worshiping look, "Big Brother Ye Yuan is incredible! To actually even deduce what those big dumb bears were thinking about!"


    Ye Yuan could not help sweating profusely when he heard that. What was what?


    If he could not even plot against these big dumb bears, then wouldn''t he be too dumb as well?


    Moreover, this was not considered as scheming, right? Those Firesource Crystals were just the consultation fees for treating the ailment; each took what they needed.


    It was just that those big dumb bears were too dense. Saying too directly with them, they would heighten vigilance instead.


    The few people were just speaking when several figures blocked the path of the three people with a swoosh.


    Out of Ye Yuan''s expectations, this Xiong Tie actually looked handsome with well-chiseled features, not at all fitting with his name.


    "Little Brother, this is our family''s young lord," by the side, Xiong Hui introduced.


    Xiong Tie clasped his hands and said, "Brother Ye, Xiong Hui has offended greatly previously. I hope that Brother Ye can be magnanimous enough to forgive."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Just a misunderstanding. No harm. The three of us still have to hurry on with our journey. We''ll have to trouble Young Lord Xiong Tie to make way."


    Xiong Tie hurriedly said, "May I ask Brother Ye if you can really treat Clan Head''s fire poison?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Heh, regardless whether I can treat it or not, does Young Lord Xiong Tie still have other alternatives? I still say that same sentence: Want me to take action, there must be 50 pieces of Firesource Crystals. It''s not that I''m asking for a preposterous price. But to want to remove fire poison, one must have Firesource Crystals. If you guys can''t part with it, then take it as I never said it."


    Xiong Tie hurriedly said, "As long as it can treat Clan Head''s fire poison, don''t talk about 50 pieces, even 80 pieces are fine too!"


    Ye Yuan glanced at Xiong Tie and said with a nod, "Alright, deal! However . . . 50 pieces of Firesource Crystals must be given to me first!"


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan followed Xiong Tie to the bear clan''s main camp. Before long, Xiong Tie placed 50 pieces of bright yellow crystal stones in front of Ye Yuan.


    Looking at these Firesource Crystals, Xiong Tie felt his flesh hurt too.


    These Firesource Crystals'' mining was not easy. Close to one year''s time, their bear clan also just extracted two to three hundred pieces.


    Clan Head alone used a hundred over pieces already. What was left in the clan right now was also just seventy to eighty pieces.


    The 80 pieces he told Ye Yuan previously was already all of the existing stock in the clan.


    "Brother Ye, the 50 pieces of Firesource Crystals, I''ve already handed to you. I wonder when can Brother Ye help Clan Head remove the poison?" Xiong Tie said.


    Actually, he was still very dubious about Ye Yuan. After all, Ye Yuan only had Tier 4 cultivation. If not for Xiong Hui saying that Ye Yuan''s combat strength was astonishing; far surpassing ordinary Tier 5 experts, moreover, even possessing dragon race bloodline, Xiong Tie would not take this risk either.


    Even so, Xiong Tie was still guarded against Ye Yuan and already laid down a tight encirclement in the clan. If Ye Yuan only came to swindle Firesource Crystals, he would kill Ye Yuan mercilessly!


    Xiong Tie could not think of any ways at all right now, and only chose to trust Ye Yuan in his helplessness. The shamans in the clan have already convened together for many days and examined many records. But no one could remove the fire poison at all.


    Ye Yuan took up a piece of Firesource Crystal and said smilingly, "No hurry, no hurry. Wait until after I refine all of these Firesource Crystals, then I can take action."


    Xiong Tie''s expression darkened slightly as he said, "Brother Ye don''t joke around. How long would it take to wait until you refine all of these Firesource Crystals? By that time, wouldn''t Clan Head be tormented to death by this fire poison? Furthermore, the Purple Flood Dragon Clan is glaring like a ravening tiger and wouldn''t give us such a long time at all!"


    Xiong Tie could not be blamed for turning hostile. Xiong Zhan refining these Firesource Crystals, it was basically a piece every three days. By the time Ye Yuan finished refining all of these 50 pieces of Firesource Crystals, wouldn''t it need several month''s time?


    Moreover, refining these Firesource Crystals had fire poison! With Ye Yuan''s strength, 50 pieces were enough to claim his life!


    At that time, it would be too late!


    Ye Yuan did not answer Xiong Tie. Lightly supporting the Firesource Crystal in his palm, a lotus flower crept out from his palm.


    This lotus flower was precisely the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus!


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus seeing the Firesource Crystal was immediately like being injected with stimulants, directly entangling over.


    Under Xiong Tie''s astonished gaze, the bright yellow Firesource Crystal faded at a speed visible to the naked eye! All the way until it became a piece of plain old stone!


    "Turns out that Brother Ye wanting these Firesource Crystals was actually in order to nurture essence fire! It''s just that this sort of absorbing process, can Brother Ye endure it?" Xiong Tie said in surprise.


    The firesource power in Firesource Crystals was extremely tyrannical. Even if a Tier 6 expert was refining, he needed to be very cautious too. A moment of carelessness and one would damage their meridians.


    But Ye Yuan did not take this to heart at all. Using less than 15 minutes to refine an entire piece of Firesource Crystal, was this any different from courting death?


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Young Lord Xiong Tie rest assured. This Ye naturally won''t treat his own life as a joke. I want these Firesource Crystals precisely for the sake of letting the essence fire advance. And removing the clan head''s fire poison also requires borrowing the power of a Tier 5 essence fire. With this, has Young Lord''s mind been put at ease?"

 649 Essence Fire Abnormal Change

    Xiong Tie naturally did not have anything to feel worried about. He exited Ye Yuan''s room fully satisfied and contented and instructed that no one was allowed to come and disturb Ye Yuan.


    Of course, the tight encirclement laid down previously, he did not recall it.


    As the young lord, Xiong Tie''s intellect was much better compared to Xiong Hui''s.


    Without seeing the hare, why would he release the falcon?


    After Xiong Tie left, Ye Yuan started to let the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame absorb the firesource power.


    Ye Yuan was an expert in playing with fire. The speed of him absorbing the firesource power was completely not what Xiong Zhang could compare to.


    Basically, he could finish absorbing a piece of Firesource Crystal roughly every 15 minutes or so.


    At the rate of this absorbing speed, logically speaking, the fire poison would flare up very quickly. But to Ye Yuan, this was not an issue at all.


    Ye Yuan had refined the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and was already impervious to a hundred poisons. Even if he did not have the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, refining the fire poison was also just something which expended a little effort.


    If Ye Yuan could be corroded by some puny little fire poison, then he, an Alchemy Emperor, would also be a waste.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus greedily absorbed the firesource power. Its aura became increasingly stronger.


    Originally, there were only four petals on the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus. But at this time, the fifth petal was currently faintly discernible. This was precisely the hallmark of it evolving to become Tier 5.


    In the entire secret chamber, a pale-yellow light halo dispersed. Furthermore, there was a trend of getting increasingly flourishing.


    All of a sudden, an extremely blinding light filled the entire secret chamber, shining until people could not open their eyes at all.


    When the light faded away, Ye Yuan knew that the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus finally advanced ranks!


    After advancing ranks, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus came onto Ye Yuan''s palm with a slight flash. Only to see it bowed its body slightly at Ye Yuan. That manner actually seemed like thanking Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had heart-to-heart telepathy with the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus long ago and naturally knew what meaning it was expressing.


    "Don''t need to be like this. You and I have long become one already. I naturally won''t abandon you and leave. Helping you advance ranks was also the promise that I gave you back then. Now, it can also be considered as fulfilling the promise. In the future, if there is the chance, I''ll naturally help you to go even further!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was a psychic object. Back then, when the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was subdued with Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan only had Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation.


    And now, several years had passed. The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually could not quite keep up with Ye Yuan''s footsteps. It invariably worried a little that Ye Yuan would forsake it.


    Although it did not have human intelligence, following Ye Yuan for so long, its instincts told it that following Ye Yuan would have different encounters.


    In reality, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s evolution speed these few years was far more rapid than it cultivating itself.


    A short two to three years time and it evolved from a Tier 4 essence fire to become a Tier 5 essence fire.


    If the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus slowly evolved itself, it also might not even be able to finish evolving in several decades to a hundred years.


    Therefore, its dependent relationship with Ye Yuan had already completely switched positions; becoming it clinging completely onto Ye Yuan.


    The current Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus already could not do without Ye Yuan.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus startled trembling slightly, as if it was restraining itself from jumping with joy. If not for it having a lotus flower form, Ye Yuan would even feel that this was a small child.


    This discovery involuntarily startled Ye Yuan. Could it be . . .


    "Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, release the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!" Ye Yuan said to the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus.


    "Huuuu . . ."


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus immediately puffed out a bundle of flames, scaring Ye Yuan until he stepped back promptly, almost burning his eyebrows to a char.


    "Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, fly one round around the secret chamber!" Ye Yuan said again.


    Indeed, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus started flying around the secret chamber very obediently.


    Following that, Ye Yuan tried out several commands again. The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually completed them without exception!


    This discovery made Ye Yuan pleasantly surprised!


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus after advancing ranks actually unlocked intellect!


    Although the intellect right now was still very weak, without any doubt, it really gave birth to intelligence!


    In the past, although Ye Yuan could control the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, that was because he refined the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus and the flame lotus was like his servant that must do things according to his commands.


    But just now, Ye Yuan did not deploy the flame lotus. He only used words to communicate with the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, and the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus completely understood his commands!


    This indicated that the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus already had its own consciousness!


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that essence fires could give birth to intellect under coincidental lucky chances. But it required an extremely heaven-defying fortuitous encounter.


    The vast majority of Tier 9 essence fire, though the power was heaven-defying, was just a killing or pill refining machine too. They were without intellect.


    Ye Yuan did not think that him helping the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus evolve actually let it to have an intellect!


    Essence fires with intellect and essence fires without intellect were two entirely different concepts.


    Essence fires with intellect would cultivate consciously, just like humans, and not rely entirely on instincts.


    This way, the cultivation speed would increase tremendously, and the evolution speed would also get faster.


    The Divine Realm and hundreds of millions of small worlds, the number of essence fires they had were too many to count. But only an extremely few numbers of essence fires could evolve successfully. And the vast majority of essence fires would all dissipate between heaven and earth in the end.


    Although the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was an existence that stood out above the masses among Tier 4 essence fires, without Ye Yuan''s diligent nurturing these few years, its final outcome would also just be returning to nature.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus giving birth to intellect made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    He only felt that with the current conditions, chances of obtaining a new essence fire again was very low. Hence, he focused on nurturing all along, hoping to nurture the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus to become Tier 5.


    He did not expect that with an unintentional sowing, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually unlocked intelligence on its own.


    "Heh heh, since you''ve already unlocked intelligence, then you''ll be my vital essence fire in the future. From today onwards, you''ll be called Fiery. I hope that you''ll give birth to a primordial spirit soon and achieve a primordial spirit body!" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus''s petals opened and closed. Clearly, it was very happy with Ye Yuan''s words.


    When essence fires unlocked intelligence, after it evolved to a certain stage, it would give birth to a primordial spirit. This primordial spirit was similar to a human''s divine soul, while the flame lotus''s main body would be equivalent to the physical body.


    At that time, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus would be roughly the same as a human. Furthermore, it also had the chance to assault the Deity Realm!


    In the Divine Dao Era, although instances of essence fires becoming deities were few, it was also not without.


    Moreover, once essence fires became deities, the might of their strength was unimaginable.


    To Ye Yuan, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus becoming his vital essence fire was undoubtedly the best option.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s powerful purifying power was an alchemist''s greatest assistance. Once it evolved to become a Tier 9 essence fire, that might would be inconceivable; absolutely the essence fire that all alchemists yearned for even in their sleep!


    "Come. Since you''ve already advanced, let''s go and remove poison for that bear clan''s clan head! There is nothing more suitable than using your purifying power to treat fire poison!" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Regarding Xiong Zhan''s fire poison, if not because he had an existence like the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, Ye Yuan would really be at a loss on what to do.


    No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he could not possibly refine Tier 6 medicinal pills too. But with the formidable purifying power of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, that was why Ye Yuan dared to guarantee this.


    When Ye Yuan came out, Xiong Tie had already waited for a long time outside. Seeing Ye Yuan come out so quickly, Xiong Tie was also slightly surprised.


    This was only less than a day''s time, and he already completed refining that many Firesource Crystals?

 650 No Other Choice

    "Brother Ye, we . . . Can we start?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Xiong Tie was thinking whether or not he was being funny, to actually place such stake on this brat who had not even reached Tier 5.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En. We can begin at any time."


    "This . . . Brother Ye has just absorbed the Firesource Crystals. Are you not going to . . . rest for a bit?"


    Xiong Tie was somewhat suspicious now whether Ye Yuan really refined those Firesource Crystals, or he kept it himself.


    Refining 80 pieces of Firesource Crystals within a day, was this sheer nonsense?


    Even if Ye Yuan''s speed was really that fast, could it be that he did not care about the fire poison? Could it be that he did not care about the tyrannical firesource power?


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak when Xiong Hui ran over flusteredly and said, "Young Lord, things are bad! The Purple Flood Dragon Clan seems to have discovered something! Zi Feng has already brought the Purple Flood Dragon Clan and moved out in full force, heading for our territory!"


    Xiong Tie''s expression changed drastically when he heard that and hurriedly said to Ye Yuan, "Brother Ye, I''ll bring you to see Clan Head right away! Our Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s hope is all on you! I hope that you won''t deceive me!"


    Ye Yuan did not show much surprise when he heard this news. Even though Xiong Tie''s mind was sharper than Xiong Hui''s, he was still a big dumb bear in the end. This point, inklings could be seen from his arrangements after Xiong Zhan got poisoned.


    The flood dragon clan was innately insidious and skeptical. The bear clan having so many suspicious movements, how could they not have any happenings at all?


    At this time, Xiong Tie already had no time to hesitate. He could only stake all hope on Ye Yuan.


    Even if Ye Yuan was really a great swindler, he had to pinch his nose and to acknowledge what had to be done. And the price if it failed was the lives of all of their bear clan!


    Zi Feng was the Purple Flood Dragon Clan''s Clan Head, whose strength was on par with Xiong Zhan. If Xiong Zhan was unable to recover his strength, then the bear clan only had the path of collapse they could walk.


    "Young Lord Xiong Tie rest assured. Leave the clan head to me," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiong Tie nodded his head and said, "Xiong Hui, go and invite First Elder over! After I bring Brother Ye to see Clan Head, we''ll go and stop Zi Feng together with you guys!"


    The bear clan''s strength was much stronger than the Jade Faced Fairy Fox Clan''s. Not only did they have a peak initial-stage Tier 6 clan head, they even had an initial-stage Tier 6 First Elder. Except, that First Elder did not meddle with worldly affairs. The matters in the clan were basically all passed to Xiong Tie to manage.


    Seeing Xiong Tie instructed this, Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Young Lord Xiong Tie, you mustn''t!"


    "En? What do Brother Ye''s words mean?" Xiong Tie said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said, "Young Lord mustn''t assume an appearance like facing a great enemy, and also don''t invite your First Elder to come out of retirement. As long as you let him pay attention to the development of the situation at all times will do. When Young Lord comes across that Zi Feng, just say that Clan Head Xiong Zhan is currently in closed-seclusion and will be ready to leave seclusion in a few days. Make sure not to reveal nervousness. The Purple Flood Dragon Clan are definitely still unable to verify the news right now. That''s why they would put on such a great fanfare. It''s in order to demonstrate their might to cow the tiger. You guys reacting too intensely will fit right in with their wishes. When the situation is detrimental, pretend to be very powerful to deter the enemy. When you''re very powerful, put on a weak appearance to bait the enemy. Understood?"


    Xiong Tie seemed to have understood, but he also seemed to not understand. But he felt that what Ye Yuan said was very reasonable.


    But at this time, Xiong Tie could not think too much. He nodded his head and brought Ye Yuan to go see Xiong Zhan.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help sighing in his heart too. This big dumb bear clan was really enough to choke on.


    But this Xiong Tie more or less should be able to comprehend some of his ideas. Presumably, delaying for a while was doable. But he had to ramp up the speed a little over on his side. Otherwise, if the Purple Flood Dragon Clan really raided in, that would not be fun.


    . . . . . .


    When Ye Yuan saw Xiong Zhan, he could not help being secretly alarmed too. Just how many Firesource Crystals did this fellow absorb? To actually be poisoned so deeply.


    The Xiong Zhang before his eyes had an emaciated appearance, his expression haggard, looking just like a crazed person. How was there any demeanor of a Tier 6 expert?


    When Xiong Tie saw Xiong Zhan, he knelt in front of him with tears in his eyes and said, "Clan Head, for the sake of our Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan, you must hold up! I brought Brother Ye here. He can definitely cure your fire poison!"


    Xiong Zhan had a listless look. Only after hearing Xiong Tie''s words did he barely manage to open both eyes and briefly sweep a glance over Ye Yuan. He said feebly, "What . . . What means does a Tier . . . Tier 4 brat have?"


    "This . . . Brother Ye he is the best shaman. He absolutely has ways to save you!" Xiong Tie was uncertain too. He already did not have any methods right now.


    Xiong Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "It . . . It''s useless. Let . . . Let him leave! This fire poison . . . even I have . . . no way around it. How . . . how can he do?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Regardless whether or not I have any means, I''m afraid it''s no longer up to Clan Head Xiong Zhan anymore! Their Purple Flood Dragon Clan has already attacked and now at the entrance. If you continue to be like this, the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan, this lineage, will probably be terminated!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Xiong Zhan abruptly opened both eyes. A seldom seen glimmer radiated from both eyes as he asked Xiong Tie, "Is what he said . . . true?"


    Xiong Tie froze and nodded his head slightly.


    Ye Yuan said, "Alright, no time to waste. Your descendants are going to fight for the bear clan right now. You, this old fellow, got to at least do a little something, right?"


    "Want . . . want me to do what?" Xiong Zhan was startled inwardly and muttered.


    Ye Yuan did not bother with him, but he said to Xiong Tie, "Young Lord, you leave first. The clan still needs you to preside over the overall situation! Remember what I said before!"


    Xiong Tie looked at Ye Yuan and nodded his head hard and said, "Brother Ye, this place will be entrusted over to you! Clan Head, if I don''t return this time, you must help me kill Zi Feng and take revenge for me!"


    As he said, Xiong Tie left resolutely.


    Xiong Zhan looked at Xiong Tie''s back view and could not help knitting his brows together. Ye Yuan knew that Xiong Zhan''s fire poison flared up again and was currently incinerating his meridians.


    Suddenly, Xiong Zhan shut his eyes and said, "Want me to do what, say it!"


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly revealed hints of a smile. He knew that the fighting spirit in Xiong Zhan''s heart had already lifted up.


    As an Alchemy Emperor, Ye Yuan had saved god knows how many people before in his previous life. He knew his patients'' thoughts like the back of his hand and knew what kind of method to use to stimulate the patient''s desire to live.


    Without any doubt, this Xiong Zhan''s soft spot was his clansmen!


    His descendants were all fighting a bloody battle outside, while he was powerless to do anything. Nothing could stimulate him more than this.


    "What you have to do is to give up control of your meridians and allow me to free rein! I will enter your meridians using essence fire and refine away all the fire poison in your body!" Ye Yuan said.


    Xiong Zhan snapped open both eyes abruptly and stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and said, "Young man, what capabilities do you have to dare carry out such conduct?"


    Entering other people''s meridians with essence fire. This was an extremely dangerous action. Even though Xiong Zhan was a Tier 6 expert, a moment of carelessness and he would be burned to death by the essence fire too!


    Ye Yuan''s way to treat fire poison was seriously too dangerous!


    Even if Xiong Zhang very much wanted to go out and fight side by side with his descendants right now, he could not help doubting Ye Yuan''s motives at this time too.


    Towards Xiong Zhan''s intent gaze, Ye Yuan was indifferent. Meeting Xiong Zhan''s gaze head-on, he said coolly, "Right now, do you still have other options?"

 651 Removing Poison

    "On what basis should I believe you?" Xiong Zhan showed a pained expression as he said.


    Ye Yuan took at look at Xiong Zhan and said smilingly, "Every second more you delay here, your clansmen will have a bit more danger. I''m indifferent. But can you . . . afford to dawdle?"


    Xiong Zhan''s expression changed, and his face revealed a struggling look. He finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I''ll cooperate with you!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and began to feel Xiong Zhan''s pulse.


    "My essence energy is going to wander inside your meridians. Do not resist!" Ye Yuan said.


    Xiong Zhan nodded his head. The expression on his face was somewhat ugly.


    On the one hand, it was because of the fire poison''s anguish. On the other hand, it was because him doing this was equivalent to handing his life over to Ye Yuan.


    To a Tier 6 experts, they believed in their own strength more. It was only under such a circumstance whether he had no other alternatives, that he would hand his life over to another person.


    However, when Ye Yuan''s essence energy entered Xiong Zhan''s meridians, Xiong Zhan''s expression changed.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy was like a clear flow, slowly flowing within his meridians. Not only was there not the slightest sense of discordance, it even made him have a very comfortable feeling.


    The shamans in the clan had taken his pulse before too. But had never given him this sort of sensation before.


    This could only mean one thing: Ye Yuan''s medical skills were much stronger than those shamans in the clan!


    Xiong Zhan involuntarily opened his eyes and sized Ye Yuan up curiously.


    It was only to see that on a young and handsome face, unswerving determination and experiences of the many vicissitudes of life were revealed.


    "Focus! Don''t get distracted!" Ye Yuan said with his eyes shut.


    Xiong Zhan was startled inwardly and hurriedly reined in his mind. And at this time, his confidence in Ye Yuan increased several times inexplicably.


    Before long, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his expression revealing solemness.


    Initially, Xiong Zhan was still worried that Ye Yuan was so young, and that his treatment would be unreliable. But now, he was already utterly convinced by Ye Yuan.


    Don''t look at how he was young. He had genuine ability! Just this pulse reading skill, which shaman in the clan could compare?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Xiong Zhan could not help being on tenterhooks. He asked probingly, "Little Brother, could it be that it''s no good?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not that it won''t work. It''s just much more troublesome than I imagined. I might need to expend some time."


    Through a round of diagnosis just now, Ye Yuan discovered that the fire poison had already gradually mixed together with Xiong Zhan''s demonic essence. When fire poison reached this step, it was exceedingly hard to remove. A single mishap and it would damage Xiong Zhan''s meridians.


    Not that Ye Yuan was concerned his ability was lacking, but he was worried that the time stalled over on Xiong Tie''s side would not be sufficient.


    When Xiong Zhan heard, his face could not help revealing wild elation as he said, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly begin!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright. But how long Xiong Tie can stall for over there will be up to him. Over here, I can only do my best. Starting now, you have to give your whole attention and open up all of your meridians. During the process of me removing the poison, you mustn''t use the slightest bit of essence energy. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"


    Xiong Zhan was like an obedient little child currently. He nodded and said, "Okay! I definitely won''t use! Definitely won''t use!"


    Ye Yuan held out his palm. Fiery appeared in his hand.


    "Fiery, when you enter his meridians in a while, you have to coordinate well with me. You must be doubly prudent to make sure not to hurt his meridians!" Ye Yuan used his consciousness to communicate with Fiery.


    The matter of Fiery unlocking intellect, Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to let Xiong Zhan know.


    One had to know that the valuableness of an essence fire that unlocked intellect was not beneath an ordinary divine art! If Xiong Zhan knew, who knows if he would have wicked designs or not?


    Finished instructing Fiery, Ye Yuan tapped onto Xiong Zhan''s palm with his fingertip.


    . . . . . .


    Outside the borders of the bear clan and Purple Flood Dragon Clan''s domain, swords were drawn, and bows were pulled.


    Xiong Tie obeyed Ye Yuan''s suggestion and did not bring the remaining First Elder in the clan over here.


    When Zi Feng saw Xiong Tie, his face showed slight surprise.


    Xiong Tie was not too stupid either. Right away, he said with a threatening aura, "Clan Head Zi Feng, you come bearing down so menacingly, could it be that you want to start a war across the board with our bear clan?"


    When Zi Feng saw Xiong Tie''s composed manner, he could not help doubting in his mind.


    Could it be that the intel obtained was not accurate? Xiong Zhan was not poisoned at all?


    But he naturally would not let it show on his face. He said with a big laugh, "Haha! What is Honorable Nephew saying here? I was just incredibly bored recently and came to find Old Man Xiong to chit-chat. I just happened to bring some youngsters over too. Our two clans are neighbors. We should also be on more intimate terms, isn''t that so? Where''s Old Man Xiong? Such a haughty manner! Old man, I, already came over personally. Doesn''t you know how to come out and welcome me?"


    The group of bears inclusive of Xiong Hui all revealed indignation on their faces.


    This old man, Zi Feng, was truly shameless. Clearly harboring ill-intent and was wary of Xiong Zhan too. Yet, he just had to feign the appearance of an old friend.


    Usually, Xiong Tie would have long swung a hammer over. Why would he talk so much crap with him?


    The members of the bear clan were proficient in battle, but they were not good with words. How could they understand this kind of beating around the bush thing?


    But before coming, Ye Yuan repeatedly exhorted Xiong Tie to pretend as if Xiong Zhang was fine.


    Xiong Tie''s unenlightened brain finally started to set in motion too.


    Speaking of which, Xiong Tie was not dumb either; he was much better than Xiong Hui, that straightforward person.


    Xiong Tie had a look of sudden realization and said, "Oh! Turns out that Clan Head Zi Feng is here to reminiscence the old days! Our family''s clan head is currently in closed-seclusion. Calculating it, he should exit seclusion these two days? If Clan Head Zi Feng can wait, why not come into the clan and wait a bit for one or two days?"


    Hearing Xiong Tie said so, Zi Feng became even more doubtful.


    Could it be that the intel was really wrong? Xiong Zhan that old man was really only in closed-seclusion?


    Zi Feng''s eyeballs swirled around, but his gaze landed on the Xiong Hui behind Xiong Tie.


    Xiong Hui was not as composed as Xiong Tie. That nervous expression was practically written all over his face.


    Once Zi Feng saw it, he immediately understood in his heart and thought to himself, Xiong Tie this little bastard, he actually learned to play scheming and intrigues with Your Father too! But sadly, it''s useless for you alone to be smart. The others are still a bunch of dumb bears!


    When Xiong Tie initially saw Zi Feng''s expression, he thought that his own performance already hoodwinked the other party''s eyes.


    But who knew that Zi Feng suddenly laughed faintly and said, "Since Honorable Nephew invited so cordially, then this old man will accept deferentially than to decline courteously. Go, I''ll follow you all into the clan together. I''ll drink a glass or two with Honorable Nephew, you, first!"


    Xiong Tie''s expression changed but stood there without moving.


    Zi Feng laughed coldly in his heart, but his mouth said, "What is it? Could it be that Honorable Nephew has anything awkward to disclose? Or . . . this old man isn''t welcomed?"


    "A-Are you jesting? Why would . . . Why would I have anything awkward to disclose?"


    Xiong Tie was just half-baked too. How could he be Zi Feng, this sly old fox''s match?


    Previously, it was just acting in accordance with Ye Yuan''s instructions and thinking of some strategies to respond.


    But at this time, being shaken by Zi Feng, Xiong Tie immediately gave himself away.


    "Humph! Looks like Xiong Zhan that old fellow really succumbed this time! Haha! Truly, the heaven is helping me! Little bastard, to dare play mind games with this old man, you''re too inexperienced! I''ll slaughter you right here, then go and give my best wishes to Old Man Xiong! Hahaha!" Zi Feng roared with laughter.


    "Stinking flood dragon, you''re very cocky huh?! You just try touching a single hair of Tie-er''s!"


    [0] Flood dragon versus dragon. Flood dragons are snake-like, live long-term in water, suck blood, delicious. Dragons are auspicious (considered bad luck if killed), proud, divine. In a western context, it will be similar to wyvern versus dragon.

 652 Two Clans Great Battle!

    Just earlier, the bear clan''s side were all prepared to die already.


    When Zi Feng suddenly flew off the handle, they knew that it could not be dragged any longer.


    But this voice, clearly very boorish, yet was akin to a heavenly melody.


    However, when Zi Feng heard this voice, his expression changed. Focusing his eyes and looking over, only to see two silhouettes appearing in front of everyone.


    "Heh. You stinking purple flood dragon. Pretty adept at looting a burning house!"


    Xiong Zhan came in front of Zi Feng, his aura seemingly threatening.


    How did he still have the slightest hint being in a sickly state currently? His entire person''s spirit, qi, and vitality all reached the peak state! Apart from being a little thinner than before, his state was indescribably good.


    Seeing this scene, Xiong Tie could not help looking at Ye Yuan beside Xiong Zhan in amazement, his eyes filled with admiration.


    This fellow actually really did it! Furthermore, it was so fast!


    If it was 15 minutes later, their this group of people would all have to lose their lives at Zi Feng''s hands.


    This old man Zi Feng was not some goody-two-shoes. Confirming that something happened to Xiong Zhan, he would not show the slightest bit of mercy.


    Zi Feng''s face turned black as he said solemnly, "Old Man Xiong, you''re actually really fine? This is impossible! Could it be that you guys have been deliberately laying down a labyrinth in order to draw me out? When did you all have this head for it?"


    Xiong Zhan did not just have high martial prowess; his brain was very nimble too. Different from the other big dumb bears'' straightforwardness, Xiong Zhan''s brain worked very well still.


    These few years, if not for Xiong Zhan devising strategies in the command tent, the bear clan would have long been played to death by Zi Feng.


    This point, Ye Yuan had long seen through some inkling through his conversation with Xiong Zhan.


    Xiong Zhan suddenly guffawed with laughter. He was incomparably free from inhibitions in his heart too.


    Seeing Xiong Zhan laugh non-stop, Zi Feng said with a black face, "Old Man Xiong, what the hell are you laughing at?"


    Xiong Zhan said with a big laugh, "Stinking purple flood dragon, if you knew the truth of the matter, you''d definitely wish to give yourself a few slaps. Just when you arrived, I was still tangled up with a deadly poison. My entire person was almost ruined. If not for your suspicious frame of mind being too strong, I''d really be powerless against you if you attacked over earlier! Hahaha!"


    Xiong Zhan chortled very happily right now. But when Ye Yuan was helping him remove the poison, he could not laugh at all.


    He originally thought that the trouble Ye Yuan said would require at least half a day to even a day''s time. Who knew that it only needed a short two hours plus.


    Ye Yuan''s Tier 5 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame using to cleanse the fire poison, the effect was unexpectedly good.


    The process of eradicating the poison was like floating clouds and flowing water; the areas that the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame passed by, the fire poison got instantaneously cleansed.


    Back then, Xiong Zhan was thinking that if there was no trouble, how fast would the speed of this brat removing the fire poison have to be?


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan''s speed was really very fast. He rushed over here in time too. If it were any later, the outcome would be too terrible to imagine.


    With this, Zi Feng''s face immediately became like a chameleon; all sorts of colors repeatedly changing.


    He finally understood why Xiong Tie kept on dawdling with him earlier. Turns out that he was stalling for time! What was more hateful was that because he was filled with suspicions, he really fell for it and missed the optimum timing!


    Coincidence or not, right at this crucial time, Xiong Zhan actually recovered!


    This timing was really grasped too brilliantly!


    Even if he came a bit later, it would also not be as depressing as right now.


    Yet, it was only missing just this one step!


    A discrepancy of a hair''s breadth could lead to an error of a thousand miles! This situation right now, the difference was huge!


    Seeing Zi Feng''s expression, Xiong Zhan laughed even more delightedly.


    Both sides had fought for so many years, and they had always been suppressed by the purple flood dragons. Today, seeing Zi Feng deflated, there was no need to mention how liberating Xiong Zhan felt in his heart.


    Zi Feng''s gaze suddenly drifted onto Ye Yuan, and he asked with a solemn face, "Don''t tell me that it was this boy who treated the poison in your body?"


    "So what if yes? With me, Xiong Zhan, around, can you still harm a hair of his?" Xiong Zhan said arrogantly.


    Zi Feng looked at Ye Yuan hatefully and said, "Boy, you''re very gutsy. To actually dare make an enemy out of our Purple Flood Dragon Clan!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''m just an alchemist. I saw that there was a patient and just treated him. If it offended Lord Zi Feng because of this, then come and beat me!"


    When he was saying the first half of the sentence, everyone, including Xiong Zhan, all thought that Ye Yuan was afraid and conceded.


    All the way until the final sentence came out, each and every one of the bear clan all could not resist laughing loudly.


    Why did these words sound so liberating!


    While Zi Feng''s face was already black like the bottom of a pot already. He looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Fine lad! You''re courting death!"


    Boom!


    The aura belonging to a Tier 6 expert suddenly erupted. Zi Feng was going to kill Ye Yuan with one palm.


    "Old Man Zi Feng, your opponent is me! What capability does it count as to bully juniors?"


    How could Xiong Zhan possibly let Zi Feng prevail? He directly made a move and stopped him. The two people instantly tangled up in battle together.


    Two great Tier 6 experts fighting. That might was truly earth-shaking. The others hurriedly backed away to avoid being affected.


    While Zi Feng was tangled up with Xiong Zhan, he roared, "Zi Lin, what are you still in a daze for? Kill that boy for me!"


    Zi Lin was precisely the Purple Flood Dragon Clan''s Young Lord.


    With this roar, how could the bear clan and purple flood dragon clan still sit still? The two clans officially started the great battle!


    The Purple Flood Dragon Clan also brought another Tier 6 first elder over here this time, while the bear clan''s Tier 6 first elder also showed up at this time, tangling together with him.


    When Zi Lin got Zi Feng''s order, he dashed straight for Ye Yuan.


    Yet, Xiong Tie had long viewed Ye Yuan as his benefactor. How could he possibly give him the opportunity to approach Ye Yuan? He directly attacked too to stop him.


    For a moment, the two clan''s battle cries rend the air.


    Such a scale of fighting was not often seen in the outside world.


    A great battle with so many Tier 5 experts and Tier 6 experts, even when adding the Endless World and Fierce Gale World, two worlds together, there was also not such a scale.


    Ye Yuan became the idlest one in the battlefield instead and actually became weary with boredom.


    Occasionally, there were blind ones who came to find trouble with him and were all casually disposed of by him.


    Apart from a few Tier 6 experts, there were really not many who could threaten him here.


    Even if that Zi Lin really found him, he would not attach importance to him either.


    Ye Yuan''s attention right now was placed on that great battle in the sky.


    Xiong Zhan refined a hundred over pieces of Firesource Crystals. Originally, his strength should advance with leaps and bounds. But due to the fire poison, he was unable to break through to middle-stage Tier 6 all along.


    But after Ye Yuan helped him remove the fire poison, the effects of Xiong Zhan absorbing the firesource power started to showcase.


    The Firesource True Dipper Bears were originally fire-attribute demons. Xiong Zhan absorbed that many Firesource Crystals, breaking through to middle-stage Tier 6 was already something in due course.


    Even if he had not broken through right now, Zi Feng was no longer his match as well.


    In the air, Zi Feng became more alarmed the more he fought. When did this Xiong Zhan''s strength become so powerful?


    "You . . . You''re going to break through soon?" Zi Feng said in shock.


    Xiong Zhan laughed wildly and said, "Thanks to you. After crippling you, I''ll be able to break through with a peace of mind!"

 653 Roc Clan Young Lord

    "Hahaha! I''ve fought with you, this stinking purple flood dragon for so many years. There has yet to be such a liberating time once before! Wait until Your Father breaks through to the middle-stage Tier 6, I''ll definitely beat you until your mom can''t recognize you!" Xiong Zhan said as he laughed wildly in the air.


    Xiong Zhan broke the stalemate very quickly, chasing Zi Feng and beating him up in an overwhelming ferocity.


    But the two people''s cultivation realms did not have a great difference. There was not such a great disparity in terms of strength. For Xiong Zhan to want to take down Zi Feng in a short time, it was not something easy.


    In reality, Ye Yuan also knew that the current Xiong Zhan could not kill Zi Feng at all. Unless he could break through to middle-stage Tier 6.


    "Old Man Xiong, don''t get cocky! Do you really think that you''ve stumped me?" Zi Feng yelled at the top of his voice as he fled.


    "So what if stumped you? This old man being stronger than you right now is stumping you! Hahaha! See if you dare to be rampant in front of Your Father again!" Xiong Zhan said.


    Xiong Zhan decided to definitely thank Ye Yuan properly after the matter. If not for Ye Yuan, the bear clan would be in danger right now.


    Currently, not only was the bear clan''s crisis fully resolved, he even utterly suppressed his old foe of many years. This sort of liberating feeling, Xiong Zhan had never encountered before in so many years of cultivation.


    Zi Feng warded off Xiong Zhan''s pursuit and attack while being secretly anxious. Why hasn''t the roc clan''s young lord here? Still not coming? This old man really won''t be able to withstand it! Taking everything to considerations, I didn''t calculate that such a brat would pop out and could actually completely resolve the poison in Xiong Zhan''s body.


    The two people''s battle commotion in the air was extremely great. But under Xiong Zhan''s wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, Zi Feng already sustained a fair bit of injuries on his body.


    Xiong Zhan was currently fighting fervently and did not think so much at all. But Ye Yuan''s brows gradually furrowed together.


    Zi Feng clearly had the ability to escape, but he forcefully endured it and did not leave. If this continued, he would not even have the chance to escape.


    This Zi Feng was evidently a cunning old fox. Logically speaking, he should value his life infinitely. But why did he remain behind?


    There must be something strange for things to be abnormal!


    This Zi Feng would rather sustain heavy injuries and also wanted to stay behind. There must be an even greater scheme.


    Could it be that the Purple Flood Dragon Clan still had some way out?


    A foreboding premonition gradually welled up in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Just as Ye Yuan was wondering on his own, a small black dot appeared far away on the horizons. Ye Yuan discovered this tiny black dot right away. His heart could not help sinking gradually.


    The small black dot gradually enlarged. Ye Yuan strained his eyes to look at the distance. Turns out that it was a flying carriage.


    The flying carriage was pulled along by nine Tier 4 flying demonic beasts. The spectacle was extremely grand.


    This ostentatious display was not an ordinary kind of extravagant.


    Following the approach of the flying carriage, Xiong Zhan and Zi Feng clearly noticed it too.


    When Zi Feng saw the flying carriage arriving, his face could not help revealing wild elation. "Hahaha! Xiong Zhan, Young Lord Peng Yun has arrived! I''ll see how you still be arrogant! Today will be the day of extermination of your Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan!"


    The moment Xiong Zhan heard the name Peng Yun, his expression involuntarily changed greatly. With a gloomy look, he looked at Zi Feng and said, "You, this fellow, actually dared to betray Lord Hu Yan and call in the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan!"


    "Bah! Hu Yan that fellow might have long be dead already! These dozen over years, their Darkfiend Tiger Clan did not look after us the tiniest bit at all. On what basis should my Purple Flood Dragon Clan still work ourselves to the bone for them for?" Zi Feng said.


    "You shut your jinx mouth! Lord Hu Yan''s might is immensely formidable! How can he possibly die?! You dared to betray Lord Hu Yan! Prepare to have an awareness of death then!" Xiong Zhan said in an uncontrollable rage.


    "Heh heh, you this dumb bear! Who knows how many demon races in the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s territory have already given rise to the thought. Do you think that there''s only my Purple Flood Dragon Clan? Only you, this dumb bear, would be foolishly loyal to Hu Yan that fellow! Today, exterminating you, this big dumb bear, there will naturally be the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan to back me up!'' Zi Feng said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan listened to the two people''s conversation and could not help recalling Yu Huan''s repeated warnings. He also did not think that he would bump into the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan so quickly.


    If he let them knew that he possessed the dragon race''s bloodline, his outcome would probably not be good.


    Listening to it, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan seemed to be sworn enemies. And the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s boss'' life or death was unknown currently, resulting in the thoughts of the various subordinate demon clans to drift.


    The bear clan was all very simple and honest and did not give rise to this thought at all. But the Purple Flood Dragon Clan adjacent to them probably had the intent to rebel long ago already. That was why they threw their lots in with the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan in secret.


    Ye Yuan saw that an old man accompanied by that flying carriage''s side. His strength was unfathomable. He was probably still even stronger than Xiong Zhan.


    This matter today was likely unable to be settled already.


    That flying carriage came close in front very quickly. A hawk-nosed young man sat in the carriage, looking very haughty; as if everyone in his eyes were like ants.


    This person was naturally the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s Young Lord, Peng Yun.


    At this time, a youth on the other side of the carriage came in front and said to everybody very arrogantly, "Young Lord Peng Yun has arrived! Why haven''t you all paid respects?"


    Zi Feng disregarded the wounds on his body and hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Lesser clan''s Zi Feng, pays respects to Young Lord Peng Yun, Elder Peng Hai!"


    The clan head of a clan, that attitude was unbelievably obsequious.


    While Xiong Zhan had a somber look and did not have the intention of paying respects at all.


    That youth said in a great rage when he saw the situation, ''You, this lowly bear clan! Saw Young Lord Peng Yun and still not paying respects?!"


    The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan also possessed the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. Their divine beast bloodline was extremely thick; it was much stronger than the Purple Flood Dragons, Firesource True Dipper Bears, and the others.


    Xiong Zhan expression changed, and he said with a cold snort, "I, Xiong Zhan, only recognizes Lord Hu Yan, and I don''t recognize any Young Lord Peng Yun! Want to make me, Old Xiong, pay respects? Dream on!"


    When Ye Yuan heard Xiong Zhan''s words, he nodded his head slightly too.


    Among the demon clans, to have such integrity was not easy.


    One had to know that offending Peng Yun now was risking the danger of clan extermination. But Xiong Zhan did not even furrow his brows.


    The youth exclaimed in a great rage, "Creature that refuses face when given! To actually dare be disrespectful towards Young Lord! The Darkfiend Tiger Clan is already nearing its end! In the future, this Dongming Region, only my Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan have the final say! You still don''t know how to appreciate favors?! We''ll exterminate your clan!"


    "F*ck your bullshit! Lord Hu Yan''s means are immensely formidable! You all dare to jump around, you''ll be taken care of by him sooner or later one day!" Xiong Zhan said.


    "Hahaha! You this dumb bear! To actually still harbor illusions about Hu Yan! Let me tell you, Hu Yan was hurt by the Azure Spirit Tree over ten years ago. Right now, even if he''s not dead, he''s pretty much a cripple too! This Young Lord will give you a chance right now. If you''re still impervious to sense, today will be the day of your Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s extermination!" The Peng Yun who had not spoken the entire time finally opened his mouth.


    Xiong Zhan''s expression changed, and he could not help looking at the clansmen behind him, his face showing a look of reluctance.


    "Huhu, that''s it. You, as the clan head, if all your clansmen die at your hands, then you''ll be the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s eternal sinner! Can you . . . accept that?" Peng Yun seemed to be able to see through thoughts, guiding gently.


    Xiong Zhan suddenly turned around. Ye Yuan saw it plainly. A drop of tear water actually flowed down from his eye!


    "Children . . . do you all . . . fear death or not?" Xiong Zhan asked sonorously and imposingly.


    "Not afraid!"

 654 Borrowing Name to Challenge!

    "Not afraid!"


    These two words, those bears virtually uttered it in unison from different mouths without the slightest hesitation.


    Bringing along a moving and tragic aura surging towards the sky!


    The moment these two words came out, it was expressing their will with death!


    Don''t look at how each and every one of these bears was all slow-witted normally. At this time, all of them had lofty and unyielding characters that reached the clouds. To say that they were doomsday heroes was not over the top too.


    Each and every one of that expression, in Ye Yuan''s view . . . was actually somewhat cute.


    When Xiong Zhan saw this scene, tears involuntarily coursed down his old face. He nodded and said, "Good! Good children! Lord Hu Yan''s debt of gratitude towards our bear clan is as weighty as a mountain! Today, we''ll repay the favor with death!"


    Xiong Zhan turned around abruptly, stared at Peng Yun, and said, "Did you hear that, brat? Want to make my bear clan surrender? Can''t. . . do . . . that!"


    Peng Yun originally had a look like everything was under control. But the expression currently was frighteningly grim.


    Xiong Zhan''s actions were truly flinging a resounding slap on his face, making him lose all face.


    "Since that''s the case, this Young Lord will fulfill your wishes! Peng Hai, exterminate them for me!" Peng Yun said each word slowly.


    "Young Lord Peng Yun, Zi Feng has a presumptuous request!" Peng Hai was just about to make a move when Zi Feng suddenly came forward and said.


    Peng Yun did not even give him a glance and said coldly, "Speak!"


    But Zi Feng''s gaze was looking at Ye Yuan as he said with a cold smile, "Young Lord, can you hand that punk over to me? Xiong Zhan he was originally inflicted with a deadly poison. My Purple Flood Dragon Clan could have originally taken down the bear clan as easy as overturning one''s hands. Yet, this punk opposed Young Lord and cured Xiong Zhan!"


    Hearing Zi Feng''s words, Xiong Zhan''s expression could not help changing drastically.


    Ye Yuan was his benefactor. It was fine if they died. But if they implicated Ye Yuan, he would die with endless regrets.


    "Zi Feng, don''t you sow discord here! Ye Yuan doesn''t know our two clans'' matters at all! He only came to help out of goodwill! If you dare to touch a single hair of his, I won''t let you off even if I become a ghost!" Xiong Zhan glared fiercely at Zi Feng and said.


    Peng Yun hearing Zi Feng''s words, looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, and he said, "Oh? Human? This boy only has merely Tier 4 strength, and he could actually resolve the poison in the body of a Tier 6 demon? Looks like he''s quite capable! Uh . . . A pity that he''s a human. Otherwise, he could work for me. Since that''s the case, kill him them!"


    When Zi Feng heard the first half of the sentence, his heart leaped to his throat. He even thought that Peng Yun took fancy upon Ye Yuan''s capability.


    Only upon hearing the last sentence did he finally set his mind at ease.


    Getting the order, Zi Feng had indescribable satisfaction in his heart as he looked at Ye Yuan with a hideous grin and said, "Boy, didn''t you want me to come and beat you earlier? Now, I''ll see what you have to be stubborn! I''m going to tear this mouth of yours to shreds today and see if it''s really that hard!"


    Xiong Zhan was secretly anxious when he saw the situation. He was just about to make a move when he felt an extremely powerful aura lock onto him!


    This Peng Hai''s strength was middle-stage Tier 6. Moreover, the roc clan''s bloodline strength was exceptionally formidable. Xiong Zhan was not a match at all!


    Xiong Zhan hated in his heart. If he could break through to middle-stage Tier 6 earlier, he wouldn''t be at the extent of being so helpless right now too!


    Xiong Zhan had the resolve to die long ago. But seeing that Zi Feng actually implicated Ye YUan at this time, the remorse in his heart was indescribable.


    If he knew that it was this kind of situation long ago, he should have let him leave first after Ye Yuan treated him!


    "Ye Yuan! Quickly leave! What Old Xiong, I, owe you, I''ll definitely pay back in my next life!" Xiong Zhan shouted.


    "Run? Running where? With this old man here, can he still run? Hahaha!" Zi Feng chuckled madly.


    Ye Yuan did not move there the whole time and did not speak either.


    But at this time, he shot Zi Feng a nonchalant glance and said, "Lowly purple flood dragon bloodline is fit to be my opponent too?"


    Even if Zi Feng was cunning and experienced with age, he was also infuriated by Ye Yuan''s scornful attitude.


    His purple flood dragon bloodline was one of the branches of the dragon race''s bloodlines. Even though the bloodline was very impure, he had the chance to transform from a flood dragon to become a dragon too!


    Even though this chance was very slim, it did not seem to have any relations with ''lowly,'' this word, right?


    "Lowly? You, a puny little human, actually dare to utter such wild ravings!"


    Ye Yuan was completely disinclined to even give him a glance. His body suddenly erupted with an overwhelming dragon pressure!


    The expressions of all the people present, after witnessing Ye Yuan''s dragon pressure, changed drastically.


    "Now . . . do you still have complaints about me saying that your bloodline is lowly?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zi Feng''s expression changed. The embarrassment on his face could not be concealed no matter what.


    In front of Ye Yuan, wasn''t his, this Purple Flood Dragon Race, a lowly bloodline?


    Flood dragon race, no matter how pure a bloodline flood dragon race, could not compare to the tiniest speck of the dragon race at all!


    In front of the dragon race, the flood dragon race bloodline was trash!


    Ye Yuan calling his bloodline lowly was not wrong at all!


    All of the demon races present, nobody could refute this sentence of Ye Yuan''s, including Peng Yung.


    Zi Feng''s face flushed scarlet, wanting to say something, but discovered how feeble words were currently.


    Ye Yuan did not bother with him but slowly pulled aside his collar, revealing that piece of reverse scale below his neck.


    Seeing that piece of emerald-green reverse scale, Peng Yun and Xiong Zhan''s expression changed once more as they cried out in concert, "Dragon Lord!"


    Xiong Zhan did not think that Ye Yuan was actually this generation''s dragon lord. He cursed secretly in his heart.


    The dragon lord and the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan were incompatible like water and fire. The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan had once sent out the news that as long as the next dragon lord came into being, they would kill the dragon lord at all costs!


    Now, Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to expose his own status as dragon lord. This . . . Wasn''t this courting death?


    Indeed, Peng Yun''s and Peng Hai''s expressions currently both changed, becoming rather terrifying.


    Very clearly, the current Ye Yuan''s weight in their eyes had already far surpassed Xiong Zhan''s.


    Seeing this scene, Xiong Zhan heart involuntarily pounded.


    Ye Yuan wasn''t doing this in order to save the bear clan, right? But his strength was only Tier 4. Wasn''t doing so striking a rock with an egg?


    It was just that no matter what the result was, the favor that Xiong Zhan owed Ye Yuan this time was massive.


    "I heard that my predecessor once killed a roc young lord. Didn''t think that I''d run into the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan again today. Really quite fated. Huhu, it''s just that I don''t know if you have the guts to have a battle with me?" Ye Yuan looked straight at Peng Yun.


    Under everyone''s gaze, Ye Yuan was actually going to challenge Peng Yun!


    One had to know that Peng Yun was late-stage Tier 5, while Ye Yuan was only middle-stage Tier 4. This huge disparity in strength was also too great.


    Even if Ye Yuan was the dragon lord and possessed true dragon bloodline, the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s bloodline power was extremely formidable too.


    Even though it could not compare to the dragon race''s, it still belonged to a first-rate bloodline.


    Adding in that his strength was a major realm higher than Ye Yuan''s, there was simply no fight between the two!


    When Peng Hai saw Ye Yuan challenge Peng Yun, he could not help knitting his brows together slightly. Taking a step forward, he said, "Young Lord, this old man will go and kill him!"


    "Hang on!" Peng Yun slowly got up from the flying carriage, walked in front of Peng Hai with his hands behind his back, and said, "The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s humiliation must be washed away by the roc clan''s Young Lord! You''re called Ye Yuan, right? This Young Lord will fulfill your wish today!"

 655 Challenging the Other Partys Forte

    "Young Lord, you mustn''t fall for this boy''s trickery! He laid everything bare and challenged you. He probably has ill-intent!" Peng Hai warned.


    Peng Yun smiled confidently and said, "Uncle Hai, you''re also too cautious. My strength, could you still not be aware? With my strength, if I can''t even take down a puny little Tier 4 Dragon Lord, how will I command the Dongming Region in the future? If I don''t even dare to accept the challenge of the Dragon Lord, what qualifications do I still have to inherit the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan? Whatever moves he has, just unleash them. This Young Lord will receive it all!"


    Indeed, this was a certain-win battle. Peng Yun had no reason to refuse.


    Tier 5 against Tier 4; there was a difference of a major boundary. If he could still lose like this, then him, this Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan successor, would also have no face to come out and mix around in the future.


    Ye Yuan highlighting his dragon lord identity, he, Peng Yun, would have to accept this challenge.


    The entire Dongming Region all knew that the Thousand Mountain Great Roc''s Young Lord had died at the hands of the previous generation''s dragon lord before. If he did not accept Ye Yuan''s challenge, he would be a complete and utter wuss.


    Ye Yuan was forcing him to the bitter end here!


    Of course, in Peng Yun''s view, Ye Yuan was forcing himself to the bitter end!


    When Peng Hai heard Peng Yun say so, he naturally knew that he could not very well stop this either. But he would be sure to keep an eye tightly on Ye Yuan. As long as Ye Yuan had any weird ideas, he must deal a lightning-quick blow!


    Peng Yun got down from the flying carriage and came before Ye Yuan. Shaking his head disdainfully, he said, "Didn''t expect that this generation''s dragon lord''s strength is actually so lousy. If not for you flashing the reverse scale, I''d even somewhat suspect that you''re a fake."


    Ye Yuan was obviously fake. How was he some dragon lord?


    But at this time, Ye Yuan was very grateful for this dragon lord identity.


    This Peng Yun''s appearance was too sudden. Ye Yuan did not have time to prepare anything. Hence, ever since Peng Yun appeared, Ye Yuan had been pondering on how to respond the entire time.


    And the dragon lord identity was his only choice!


    "Huhu, your predecessor was slaughtered by my predecessor. And today''s results won''t have any difference. Although the great roc clan has some skill, they are at the very best just an upstart too, forever too inferior to show in public," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    To the Four Divine Beasts, this level of divine beast, the other demon races were all upstarts.


    The dragon race had this confidence and also this pride.


    Ye Yuan''s performance made Peng Yun believe his identity even more. Because the previous generation dragon lord was as rampant as Ye Yuan.


    Peng Yun''s expression was dark as he said, "Creature who don''t know life from death. To actually dare goad this Young Lord''s baseline. You''ll die very horribly!"


    Even though the dragon race''s might was universally acknowledged, in this God Prohibited Demon Region, apart from the appearance of a dragon lord every few years, there were no dragons existing.


    Of course, there might be inside there. It was just that inside there was cut off from the world. Regardless of what happened in the outside world, they would not intervene either.


    Even though they did not know where on earth the dragon lord came from, the greatest possibility was there!


    Because that place, it was the most mysterious place! As mysterious as the dragon lord!


    There had been records of dragon lords being killed before in history. But there had been no reaction from that place.


    It was precisely because of this that the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan had the confidence to raise a hue and cry.


    If from inside there had been any stirrings, what did the dragon lord killing the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s young lord count for?


    Peng Yun''s Tier 5 aura was released fully. The pressure of the great roc bloodline was released, instantaneously enveloping everybody inside.


    When Xiong Zhan saw this scene, his heart could not help sinking. He also did not expect that Peng Yun''s divine beast Kun Peng bloodline would actually be so thick. It had most probably . . . already surpassed the previous generation''s great roc young lord.


    Peng Yun''s strength was much stronger compared to ordinary late-stage Tier 5''s!


    Xiong Zhan''s gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan and starting worrying for him.


    Compare to Peng Yun, Ye Yuan''s strength was seriously too weak!


    Furthermore . . . demons possessing Kun Peng bloodline, their speed were all very heaven-defying. Xiong Zhan could not see the tiniest bit of hope of Ye Yuan obtaining victory at all.


    Boom!


    At virtually the same instance, Ye Yuan''s aura suddenly skyrocketed too, directly breaking through to peak Sixth Level!


    Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!


    Initially, Fiery was only Tier 4 and already did not have much effect on the present Ye Yuan. But now, Fiery broke through to Tier 5. The power of Ye Yuan''s Origin Spirit Nine Transformations was manifested once again.


    Seeing this scene, Peng Hai''s brows involuntarily knitted slightly. Clearly, he was very surprised by this move of Ye Yuan and also could not help worrying for Peng Yun.


    Not knowing why, Peng Hai kept feeling that this Ye Yuan was not simple.


    Peng Yun himself was only slightly surprised. He gave a cold smile indifferently soon after and said, "Indeed have some capabilities. It''s just that like this . . . is still inadequate!"


    Finished talking, everyone had not reacted to it, but Peng Yun''s entire person already vanished from sight.


    Boom!


    Peng Yun struck Ye Yuan directly with a palm!


    Everyone was greatly frightened. This scene seriously happened too suddenly.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was finished off effortlessly like this?


    Yet, only when everyone came to their senses, did they notice something amiss.


    Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly fine. A faint smile was still hanging at the corners of his mouth.


    Then . . . Ye Yuan''s figure gradually dissipated. It was actually an afterimage!


    "Heh, everyone says that the Kun Peng divine beast''s speed in unparalleled under the heavens. In my opinion, it''s also nothing more than this."


    Ye Yuan''s faint voice drifted over, filled with contempt.


    Peng Yun''s expression fell slightly as he said, "No wonder you dared to challenge this young lord. Turns out that you''re quite capable in terms of speed. However . . . do you think that this is enough? Too naive!"


    Peng Yun''s bloodline power undulated out. His speed instantly rose to the peak, dashing straight for Ye Yuan.


    With this, his speed was several times swifter than just now!


    This was a deadly tempo!


    Apart from the few Tier 6 experts present, there was nobody who could see Peng Yun''s trajectory clearly at all.


    The roc clan''s speed claimed to be unparalleled under the heavens. It was indeed not for show.


    Yet, the next instant, something that made everyone''s jaws drop even more happened.


    Ye Yuan''s figure also suddenly vanished from sight. The two people were actually like air; disappeared!


    "This . . . How swift a speed does this need?! These two people''s speed are simply unimaginable!"


    "Young Lord Peng Yun''s speed being fast is something within expectations. But what''s going on with that Ye Yuan? When has the dragon race''s speed be this swift too?"


    "Young Lord Peng Yun''s bloodline power absolutely surpassed the previous generation''s! This speed is heaven-defying level! This Ye Yuan could actually draw with Young Lord Peng Yun in terms of speed! To be able to clash head-on in speed with the roc clan, it''s still my first time seeing!"


    Everyone was amazed by Ye Yuan''s speed. It was too terrifying!


    These two people''s competition in speed, compared to Ye Yuan''s competition in speed with Wolf Fang back then, was simply a great sorcerer meeting a small apprentice.


    Yet, Peng Yun''s speed being fast was within reason. But Ye Yuan''s speed made everyone all feel very astounded.


    Battling with the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan, it basically needed to rely on absolute strength to overwhelm. To want to catch up to them in terms of speed was simply a pipe dream.


    But now, Ye Yuan swept away the faces of all the rocs resplendently in terms of speed.

 656 Sole Victor

    Peng Yun''s mood right now was extremely similar to Wolf Fang''s back then.


    Clearly, his speed was a bit faster than Ye Yuan''s. But each time he caught up to Ye Yuan, his body would always sink without rhyme or reason, slowing a tiny bit of speed.


    Except, just this tiny bit made him forever unable to catch up to Ye Yuan.


    This sort of feeling, there was no need to talk about how depressing it was.


    Kun Peng bloodline was well-deserving of being the most skilled in speed among the divine beast bloodlines. Even with Ye Yuan''s Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art cultivated to minor accomplishment realm, it was still slightly inferior to Peng Yun.


    But adding in the Origin Magnetic Field, Peng Yun could forget about catching up to him.


    With a swoosh, Ye Yuan directly dashed out several miles away.


    "Want to run? How can it be that easy?!"


    Peng Yu brought out his true power too, chasing after without any hesitation.


    The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan was also an extremely proud race. With his most proficient speed being unable to obtain victory, this made Peng Yun feel an utter loss of face.


    Yet, when Peng Hai saw this scene, his expression changed greatly. "Young Lord, careful!"


    At the same time, Peng Hai attacked like lightning!


    But even if he was a Tier 6 expert, going from being stationary to movement still needed some time.


    However, Ye Yuan and Peng Yun were in the midst of high speed movement. This slight time difference was sufficient!


    What Ye Yuan was waiting for was this moment!


    "Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman! Explode for me!"


    Ye Yuan roared, directly throwing the last remaining Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman on him at Peng Yun!


    This change was too sudden. Peng Yun could not react at all.


    Originally, it was a one-sided situation. How could Peng Yun think that Ye Yuan could release such a horrifying attack?


    Caught by surprise with this, how could he parry it in time?


    Only to see dozens of bolts of terrifying lightning land, blasted right onto Peng Yun''s body.


    "ARGH!!"


    Peng Yun suffered heavy injuries straight away, falling down.


    "Young Lord!"


    Right then, Peng Hai arrived!


    However, how could Ye Yuan give him any chance?


    Right from the beginning, Ye Yuan already planned out every segment. That far escape earlier seemed to be casual. Actually, the distance was planned out long ago!


    Even though this Peng Hai''s speed was fast, Ye Yuan was only a hundred feet away from Peng Yun.


    The moment he, Peng Yun, got hit, Ye Yuan already sped over with extreme speed.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan grabbed hold of the Peng Yun who was currently falling down rapidly, a finger pointed at the middle of his back!


    "Stop!" Ye Yuan grabbed hold of Peng Yun and shouted.


    Peng Hai''s figure stopped abruptly, and he said sternly, "If you dare to harm a hair of Young Lord Peng Yun''s, I''ll make you die without a burial ground!"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "I''ve already inserted essence fire into his meridians. As long as you dare to take another step forward, I''ll burn him into a roasted great roc first, do you believe or not?"


    Peng Hai''s expression was frighteningly grim but really did not dare to come forward.


    Meridians were not just humans'' most fragile area, it was likewise demons'' most fragile area. Once the essence fire erupted, it was not a joking matter.


    "Boy, you have such deep scheme!"


    At this time, how could Peng Hai still not tell that the situation in front of him was all cooked up by Ye Yuan single-handedly?


    To be able to find this ray of hope under such an adverse circumstance, this boy was indeed someone who had great wisdom.


    If it were other times, Peng Hai would surely have to praise Ye Yuan''s performance highly.


    But right now, he was hostile with Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan even captured Peng Yun to be a hostage. Peng Hai wished that he could eat his flesh.


    "Is that so? You guys looting a burning house isn''t considered deep scheming?" Ye Yuan refuted without any hesitation.


    Truthfully speaking, today''s situation was practically a lost game. Ye Yuan also stumbled upon a dragon lord identity by chance, to be able to provoke Peng Yun into taking action.


    Otherwise, even if he had the Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talisman, how could he possibly be Peng Yun''s match too?


    Towards this Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan, Ye Yuan obviously did not have any favorable impression.


    "Enough crap! Quickly let Young Lord go! I can spare your life!" Peng Hai said.


    Ye Yuan snickered and said, "Do you take me for a fool? If I released him, would you let me leave alive?"


    Peng Hai''s brows furrowed and he said, "Then what do you want?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "You kill Zi Feng first, then bring your men and get lost from here!"


    By the side, Zi Feng was already dazed from watching long ago. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words at this time, he involuntarily shuddered.


    He never could have thought that the situation would turn around so quickly. Just now, it was still him wanting to kill Ye Yuan. In this short while, it became Ye Yuan wanting to kill him.


    "Lord Peng Hai, don''t listen to that brat talking rubbish! Zi Feng is loyal and devoted to Lord Peng Tian! The heaven can bear witness!" Zi Feng said with a mournful face.


    "Hahaha! Zi Feng, since you say that you''re loyal and devoted, then you naturally have to use your life to exchange for Young Lord Peng Yun''s life, isn''t it?" Ye Yuan said with a big laugh.


    Zi Feng''s face immediately became black like the bottom of a pot as he cursed inwardly. This boy is really hard to tangle with; digging a pit for Your Father to jump!


    "Punk, don''t sow discord here! If you don''t release Young Lord Peng Yun, you can forget about leaving here today!" Zi Feng said furiously.


    Facing this sort of non-threatening threat, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart at all. He said with a snigger, "Looks like in your heart, this old life of yours is still more precious than Young Lord Peng Yun''s! Sigh . . ."


    As Ye Yuan said, he even shook his head and sighed. That appearance was simply asking for a beating to the max.


    Zi Feng cursed fervently in his heart, yet, he was helpless against Ye Yuan.


    Forget about him, right now, even Peng Hai was holding back from taking action out of fear. They did not have the capital to bargain at all.


    As long as Ye Yuan lightly spat out force, Peng Yun would croak right away!


    "Boy, you . . ."


    Zi Feng was just about to curse angrily but was stopped by Peng Hai with a hand gesture.


    Peng Hai shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan, as long as you release Young Lord, any condition is open for discussion! My Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan has everything you desire. As long as you open your mouth, we will be able to take it out!"


    Once Zi Feng heard that Peng Hai did not have the intention of killing him, he was also considerably more at ease in his heart and shut his mouth sensibly.


    Yet, right at this time, a wave of powerful demonic essence erupted out suddenly.


    That instant just now, was precisely the instant that Zi Feng was the most relaxed. He completely did not think that Peng Hai would suddenly launch an attack. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.


    Bang!


    An immensely huge palm force directly imprinted onto Zi Feng''s forehead!


    Before dying, Zi Feng was still glaring with wide, round eyes, not daring to believe everything happening before his eyes.


    "Clan Head!"


    "Lord Clan Head!"


    . . . . . .


    How could the Purple Flood Dragon Clan''s clansmen expect such a change to happen? Each and every one of them looked at Zi Feng''s corpse with deep hatred and resentment, still not daring to believe everything that happened in front of them.


    What in the world happened? Wasn''t coming today to exterminate the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan? Why did Clan Head die first instead?


    The entire incident struck one snag after another. From the Purple Flood Dragon Clan''s great army bearing down on the border, to Xiong Zhan showing up and overturning the raging tides, then to Peng Yun showing up and overpowering Xiong Zhan, then to Ye Yuan trigger Young Lord and capturing Peng Yun alive. The development of today''s situation seriously made everyone unable to take it all in with their eyes.


    However, Zi Feng''s death made everyone all understand that today''s victor was only one person!


    That person was Ye Yuan!

 657 Displaying Meager Skill Before an Exper

    Ye Yuan did not think that this Peng Hai would actually be so decisive either, killing right away.


    But Ye Yuan was clear in his heart, this sly old fox knew that Zi Feng must die today, that was why he killed ruthlessly.


    Ye Yuan was also someone extremely decisive and could not possibly tolerate Zi Feng, such a Tier 6 expert, to live in the world. This was an immense threat to him.


    In addition, Peng Hai wanted to use this sort of method to shock him, wishing to make him not act rashly without careful thought.


    However . . . he seemed to be overthinking it.


    Could this bit of method stun him with awe?


    "Zi Feng is already dead. Can you release Young Lord yet? You should know that even if you really killed Young Lord, you''ll also with buried with him! Not just you. All the people present would all have to be buried with Young Lord! Including me!"


    If Peng Yun were killed by people under Peng Hai''s protection, it would surely be hard for Peng Hai to absolve himself from the blame. Then the final outcome was Peng Hai killing all of the people, then committing suicide himself.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly at looked at Peng Hai as if he was in the middle of struggling inside his heart.


    "I can hand over to you. But how will you ensure my safety? You also know that Peng Yun is my only trump card. If after I release him, you don''t acknowledge what you said, won''t I have to stretch my neck out to be chopped off?" Ye Yuan said.


    Peng Hai seeing that Ye Yuan seemed to be loosening up, could not help being overjoyed in his heart.


    He was still too young in the end. Even though he was decisive in going for the kill and highly intelligent, slightly scaring him a bit and his confidence spilled out.


    But Peng Hai did not show the slightest hint on his face and said seriously, "That''s easy. I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. This way, you can put your mind at ease, right?"


    Once Ye Yuan heard, the expression on his face involuntarily eased up and said, "You swear a Heavenly Dao Oath first, then talk!"


    Peng Hai seemed to be eager to save his master, and he did not hesitate either, directly swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath, "I, Peng Hai, take an oath in the name of Heavenly Dao, as long as Ye Yuan releases Young Lord Peng Yun, I, Peng Hai, absolutely won''t kill him! If I violate this oath, Heavenly Dao, please rain down punishment!"


    Finished talking, Peng Hai looked at Ye Yuan and said, "How is it? Now, you can relax, right?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and seemed to have finally set his mind at ease towards Peng Hai.


    He was just about to hand Peng Yun to Peng Hai, but heard Xiong Zhan yell out, "Ye Yuan, don''t believe him! This fellow definitely has ill intentions!"


    Peng Hai did not expect for Xiong Zhan to cut in rudely at this time. His expression could not help darkening slightly as he said, "Xiong Zhan, you don''t slander people! I''ve already sworn the Heavenly Dao Oath. What else do you still want? Could it be that you want me to commit suicide before you''re satisfied?"


    Xiong Zhan could not help choking up when he heard this. He could not find words to refute.


    He only faintly sensed that there was something amiss, that was why he voiced out to warn. But to really want him to say, he also could not say what was amiss.


    In the end, the bear clan''s head was still not too useful.


    Ye Yuan just said with a faint smile, "Senior Peng Hai even swore a deadly oath and Zi Feng was killed too. Of course he can be trusted. Catch well!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan pushed lightly, pushing Peng Yun to Peng Hai.


    Peng Hai gently received the unconscious Peng Yun, his expression instantly becoming grim.


    He handed Peng Yun to that youth behind him and said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, you''re still too young, believing people so easily! To dare hurt Young Lord Peng Yun, everyone present today, apart from Ye Yuan, all have to die!"


    Peng Hai was a notable figure of a region too. When had he been coerced by people like this before?


    Regarding Ye Yuan, he wished that he could kill and be merry after. But due to the Heavenly Dao Oath just now, he did not dare to make a move.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "Senior, you already swore the Heavenly Dao Oath! How can you go against it?"


    Peng Hai said with a loud guffaw, "Young man, I only said to not kill you, but didn''t say to not harm you! As long as I don''t kill you and capture you back to slowly torture, the Heavenly Dao Oath won''t descend punishment! Hahaha!"


    At the thought of being proud of himself, Peng Hai could not help bursting into laughter but did not detect a hint of sneer flash across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    The laughter gradually stopped. Peng Hai seethed with killing intent and said, "Boy, you have much to learn!"


    Peng Hai''s overwhelming aura was released, making everyone''s faces all change color, including Xiong Zhan.


    But right at this time, a tragic cry broke apart this abnormal atmosphere. Peng Hai''s imposing momentum suddenly ceased, instantly vanishing without a trace. The pressure on everyone''s body suddenly lightened.


    This miserable cry was naturally emitted out of Peng Yun.


    When Peng Hai saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically!


    "Boy, what did you do to him?!" Peng Hai questioned.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I already gave you a chance. But you yourself don''t know how to grasp it well. This time, I even showed leniency. His injuries still have a chance to be treated. However . . . there won''t be a next chance!"


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan''s tone gradually became icy, killing intent seething.


    How could Peng Hai''s tiny trick possibly hoodwink Ye Yuan?


    This sort of hole to crawl through in a Heavenly Dao Oath, it was long played rotten at the Divine Realm. This Peng Hai actually still used this sort of small trick to bluff him. Simply courting death.


    Ye Yuan and Fiery''s thoughts were already interconnected. Earlier, Ye Yuan inserted a wisp of Fiery''s clone into Peng Yun''s meridians.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could take Peng Yun''s little life at any time.


    Hence, whether or not Peng Yun was in Ye Yuan''s hands, it was actually all the same.


    Peng Hai took back Peng Yun and thought that he deceived Ye Yuan, but never dreamed that he was actually being toyed with within Ye Yuan''s palm all along.


    As long as Peng Yun did not die, even if Peng Hai had greater fury, he had to force it back too!


    "You! What a terrific lad! What a fine dragon lord! Today''s matter, this Peng has remembered it! Make sure not to fall into this peng''s hands! Let''s go!"


    Finished talking, Peng Hai brought Peng Yun and left without even turning back.


    After Peng Hai left, the Purple Flood Dragon Clan immediately scattered like birds and animals.


    They had already betrayed the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and could not possibly be accepted by the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan too. In the future, they could only find a place to tuck their tails and live.


    Xiong Zhan came to Ye Yuan''s side. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan again was filled with veneration!


    Yes! A Tier 6 expert, produced a mentality called veneration towards a Tier 4 Soul Sea Realm martial artist!


    Today''s matter''s unforeseen accidents were too great. Xiong Zhan had already made the preparations for his entire clan to die.


    But this Tier 4 youth before his eyes actually relied on his own strength to overturn the raging tides! Truly heaven-defying!


    The entire Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan only survived thanks to Ye Yuan!


    Counting in Ye Yuan helping him to remove fire poison prior to this, within one short day, Ye Yuan already saved him, this Tier 6 powerhouse, twice!


    This favor was massive.


    "Xiong Zhan represents the entire Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan to thank Dragon Lord, Your Excellency!"


    Xiong Zhan came in front of Ye Yuan and bowed deeply.


    Ye Yuan supported Xiong Zhan and said smilingly, "Clan Head Xiong Zhan don''t need to be courteous. I''m not some Dragon Lord, Your Excellency. Just now, I only passed off as the dragon lord due to circumstances."


    Xiong Zhan said in amazement, "You possess orthodox dragon race bloodline and also have a reverse scale on your body. How could you possibly not be Dragon Lord, His Excellency?"


    Ye Yuan said with a chuckle, "Yes means yes, no means no. Why would I need to be pretentious? Alright, this matter is over. I should move out and head for the Darkfiend Tiger Clan."

 658 Real and Fake Dragon Lord!

    "This . . . Will the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan stage a comeback and take revenge on us or not?" Xiong Zhan said with a heart loaded with anxiety.


    The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan was famed for being domineering. Losing such an immense amount of face here today, it was impossible for it to be dropped like this.


    Once they came to take revenge, the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan would be the first to bear the brunt.


    With the bear clan''s present strength, they could not even resist a Peng Hai. It was completely impossible to be their match.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need to worry. If that great roc clan really cares about this whatever Young Lord Peng Yun''s life, they shouldn''t come over in the short term."


    Xiong Zhan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What''s the meaning of that, Dragon Lord?"


    "Having the meridians burned by my essence fire, how can wanting to treat it be that easy? If the great roc clan doesn''t have a shaman with superb Alchemy Path strength, they would most likely still have to come and beg me in the end," Ye Yuan said confidently.


    Burning the meridians could be divided into many different types. Since Ye Yuan took action, how could he finish the job carelessly and leave behind future trouble for himself?


    After that Peng Yun returned, he more or less had to suffer for a while too. How could the great roc clan be in the mood to deal with a puny little bear clan?


    The moment Xiong Zhan recalled Ye Yuan''s fire controlling measures that reached the acme of perfection, he could not help shuddering.


    This essence fire could treat people. It could naturally also ruin people. If Ye Yuan gave him a shot when he was treating him, he would have long been burned to ashes now.


    With Ye Yuan''s ability, wanting to perform a bit of trickery in Peng Yun''s meridians was simply too easy.


    "Dragon Lord indeed has great skills. Xiong Zhan admires! However . . . since Dragon Lord wants to go to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan, I''ll travel together with you then. The roc clan is concocting a sinister plot. I must inform Lord Hu Yan. Additionally . . . I''m also a little worried about Lord Hu Yan," Xiong Zhan said.


    Peng Yun''s words made Xiong Zhan very concerned about Hu Yan''s safety. He definitely would not be at ease without going to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan to take a look.


    Regarding Xiong Zhan insisting on addressing him as Dragon Lord, Ye Yuan did not rectify. He already explained it before. Whether Xiong Zhan believed or not was his matter.


    As for Xiong Zhan accompanying him to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan, Ye Yuan naturally did not have any objections.


    With Xiong Zhan, this head clan''s recommendation, presumably, going to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan would be much easier.


    At this time, Yu Xin and Yu Shu''s guide mission was naturally considered completed too. Under Ye Yuan''s request, Xiong Zhan arranged for Xiong Tie to personally send the two of them back to the clan.


    In-between this naturally still could not dispense with reluctance to part. But the two of them were considered sensible too and knew that the matters at the back were not what they could get involved in.


    Of course, Ye Yuan refined a few kinds of medicinal pills for the two of them. Guaranteeing them to breakthrough to middle-stage Tier 5 naturally did not have too big an issue.


    Settling everything, Ye Yuan headed for the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s territory together with Xiong Zhan.


    . . . . . .


    "Argh!! Pain! It hurts to death! Let me die! C-Clan Head, kill me!"


    In the roc clan, a series of miserable wails transmitted out from time to time, sounding incomparably pitiful and shrill.


    These miserable wails were naturally from none other than precisely the Peng Yun whose meridians were burned by Ye Yuan.


    Seeing that wretched appearance of Peng Yun''s, Clan Head Peng Tian''s brows involuntarily knitted together.


    "What are you all getting paid for? Yun-er only had his meridians burned by a Tier 5 essence fire. You guys are all Tier 6 shamans and are actually at a loss on what to do?"


    The Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan was one of the two strongest demon clans in Dongming Region. Among them, Tier 6 powerhouses were plenty. There was naturally no lack of Tier 6 shamans.


    It was just that among these Tier 6 shamans, there was actually not a single one who could treat Peng Yun''s injuries, leaving him no choice but to be furious.


    Peng Yun''s Kun Peng bloodline was hard to come by in hundreds of years. If there were any mishap, Peng Tian would really rampage.


    A Tier 6 shaman among them came forward and said, "Clan Head, Peng Yun''s meridian burns are extraordinary. The methods of the person who executed the skill are extremely ingenious. The positions of some burns are very sensitive. A careless move and not only will it not treat his injuries, but it might also even damage his meridians instead; making a fool of oneself by trying to be clever. Currently, this sort of situation, we can only suppress his injuries with medicinal pills to prevent them from deteriorating."


    Peng Tian''s expression was dark. Clearly, he was very displeased towards such an excuse.


    "Then your meaning is to . . . let Yun-er carry on like this all the way?"


    That shaman hurriedly said, "This . . . In order to untie the knot, the one who tied it is required. This person''s skills is exceedingly exquisite and understands the meridians of demons extremely well. His Shamanic Path strength is absolutely above ours! If he came, he would surely be able to treat Young Lord''s meridians."


    The Alchemy Path was called the Shamanic Path among demons. But it was merely the form of address that was different. The principle was all interlinked.


    What was different was that the division of the demon race''s meridians was vastly different from the human race.


    In the entire Divine Realm, those able to cultivate both the human race''s and demon race''s Alchemy Path to this sort of realm was also just Ye Yuan.


    During his previous life, Ji Qingyun had no shortage of being invited by the demon race''s major powers to refine pills to save people. He had a massive number of connections among the demon races too.


    Peng Tian suddenly waved his hand, indicating for those shamans to withdraw.


    After they left, Peng Tian suddenly said, "Peng Hai, you''re certain that the one you guys ran into was the Dragon Lord?"


    Peng Hai had been standing at one side with his hands by the sides all along, not daring to speak. Only seeing Peng Tian question at this time, did he answer. He said, "Yes, Clan Head. This subordinate saw the reverse scale on his body with my own eyes. I absolutely won''t be mistaken!"


    Peng Tian said with a cold smile, "Is that so? Then why have I already received news on my side that the Dragon Lord has already appeared at the Darkfiend Tiger Clan?"


    Peng Hai could not help being greatly surprised when he heard. Calculating according to the time, Ye Yuan should just be reaching the Darkfiend Tiger Clan right now.


    But the news Peng Tian received was clearly already several days ago.


    Didn''t that mean that two dragon lords appeared at the same time?


    This . . . What in the world was going on here?


    "Clan Head, this . . ." Peng Hai knew that Peng Tian absolutely would not be joking with him, and could not help becoming absent-minded.


    "Heh heh, looks like the Dragon Lord coming into being this time . . . will be quite fun! Peng Hai, you immediately depart for the Darkfiend Tiger Clan now and find that boy called Ye Yuan. No matter how great a price you expend, you must make him treat Peng Yun," Peng Tian said.


    "This . . ." Peng Hai said worriedly.


    "Rest assured. Even if Hu Yan isn''t dead right now, he definitely can''t even fend for himself too. They won''t dare to do anything to you! I''ll only give you four words: act according to circumstances! Got it?" Peng Tian said.


    Peng Hai knew that this calamity could not be avoided and could only nod his head and said, "Yes! Subordinate understands!"


    . . . . . .


    "Halt! Who are you people?"


    Ye Yuan and Xiong Zhan arrived at the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and was stopped by people very quickly.


    Xiong Zhan took a step forward and reported his family clan, "I''m the Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan''s Clan Head, Xiong Zhan. I have important matters to request an audience with Lord Hu Rong! This one beside me is this generation''s Dragon Lord, Ye Yuan!"


    But who knew that that tiger clan member''s expression changed and he said, "Xiong Zhan! Such immense gall you have! What are your motives for bringing a fake dragon lord forward to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan!"


    Xiong Zhan could not help being stupefied when he heard that. Taking a look at the Ye Yuan beside him, then glancing at that tiger clan member, he said, "You don''t make slanderous remarks! Ye Yuan possesses true dragon bloodline and has a reverse scale on him too! Who is he if not the Dragon Lord?"

 659 Tiger Clans Call into Question

    "Then that''s strange. The Dragon Lord is clearly a guest inside my tiger clan currently. Why would another Dragon Lord appear out of thin air? Come, men. Take down these two people concocting a sinister plot for me, and await disposal!" the tiger clan member said with a cold smile.


    In his view, this Xiong Zhan fabricating a dragon lord definitely had malicious motives.


    Right then, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You see. I said that I wasn''t the Dragon Lord, right. But you just didn''t believe. Now, we''ve made a fool out of ourselves, right?"


    When Ye Yuan said these words, the tiger clan member naturally felt that he was weaseling his way out.


    Wicked plot failed to prevail, so he wanted to use such a method to escape. How could it be that easy?


    "Heh, thinking of going back on your words now? Too late!" The tiger clan member''s expression changed as he extended his hand like capturing Ye Yuan away.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. The dragon pressure in his body erupted out abruptly.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan''s palm directly sent that tiger clan member flying.


    This tiger was an initial-stage Tier 5 who originally thought that taking down Ye Yuan, wasn''t it still easily done?


    But who knew that Ye Yuan actually defeated him in one move.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan did not wish to blow the matter up and already pulled his punches.


    Ye Yuan''s attack was not heavy. The injuries on this tiger''s body were not severe. It was just that the dragon pressure Ye Yuan emitted made him greatly astonished.


    This dragon pressure was extremely pure. What was this if not orthodox dragon race bloodline?


    This . . . How could there be two dragon lords showing up?


    "Who is it? To actually dare act wildly in my Darkfiend Tiger Clan!" The commotion here finally attracted quite a number of tiger clan members. A youth took the lead and came forward to rebuke.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "We came to deliver news out of goodwill, and your tiger clan wants to capture people right away. Is this your way of treating guests?"


    "En? Human?" said that youth in surprise.


    "Young Lord Hu Xiao, this person possess extremely pure dragon blood. Just now, he even . . . called himself a dragon lord!" That tiger who was beaten down by Ye Yuan already recovered at this time and came forward to clarify the situation.


    This youth was actually the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s Young Lord!


    Hearing his clansman say so, Hu Xiao''s brows raised up, and he said with a mocking laugh, "Dragon Lord? What a joke!"


    Ye Yuan took a look at Hu Xiao and said coolly, "Young Lord Hu Xiao, is it? It''s just a misunderstanding! I possess dragon blood and gave birth to a reverse scale. Previously, I was forced to impersonate as the dragon lord and fought a great battle with Peng Yun. That''s why Senior Xiong Zhan would be mistaken about me."


    "You exchanged blows with Peng Yun? Haha! What a colossal joke! How could your bit of strength possibly be Peng Yun''s match?"


    Hu Xiao seemed to have heard some hilarious joke. Ye Yuan was merely just middle-stage Tier 4. How could he possibly be Peng Yun''s match?


    When boasting, one needed to boast something a bit more believable too!


    Xiong Zhan did not speak the entire time. But hearing Hu Xiao be so contemptuous towards Ye Yuan at this time, he was displeased.


    "Young Lord Hu Xiao, this matter is absolutely true! My entire Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan can bear witness for him! If not for Ye Yuan, my Firesource True Dipper Bear Clan would have been fully exterminated already! Old Xiong, I, came here today in order to report this matter to Lord Hu Rong. Didn''t expect that I was actually taken to have ulterior motives! Humph! Ye Yuan, let''s go! Didn''t think that after my bear clan resisted foreign enemies with a will to die, what it exchanged for was such a result! Lord Hu Yan had no news for many years. Looks like the Darkfiend Tiger Clan has really gone sour!"


    The tiger clan''s attitude also deeply hurt Xiong Zhan''s heart, making him, a high elder, feel bitterly disappointed.


    Recalling back then when Lord Hu Yan was around, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan quashed the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan until they could not even lift their heads.


    Now . . . haha . . .


    Xiong Zhan did not bother with Hu Xiao either, turning right around and left.


    Xiong Zhan was, at any rate, a Tier 6 expert. There were really not many people able to stop him.


    Right then, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Xiong Zhan since who knows when and blocked his path.


    "Younger Brother Xiong Zhan, don''t get angry. Young people are insensible. Don''t haggle about it with them! You''re my Darkfiend Tiger Clan domain''s high elder. Anyone might have ulterior motives, but you won''t even have any," the person said to Xiong Zhan with a smile, like old friends catching up.


    When Xiong Zhan saw the arrival, his eyes involuntarily reddened as he said, "Lord . . . Hu Rong, long . . . long time no see!"


    Hu Rong sighed lightly and said, "Sigh . . . yes, really long time no see!"


    . . . . . .


    Inside the clan, when Hu Rong heard Xiong Zhan''s battle report, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan deeply.


    He was seriously unable to imagine how this Tier 4 youth before his eyes accomplished to this step.


    Xiong Zhan''s words sounded just like talking about a book from the heaven; there was no proof whatsoever.


    In the middle of a bunch of Tier 5 and Tier 6 experts, a Tier 4 youth led the battle situation, making use of another person''s hands to kill a Tier 6 expert and severely injuring Peng Yun.


    This series of events sounded somewhat preposterous no matter what!


    When Xiong Zhan finished talking, Hu Rong nodded his head and said, "Turns out that in-between this, so many things actually happened! Younger Brother Xiong Zhan has worked hard. It''s getting late today. You and this little brother rest in the clan first. I''ll reward the two of you tomorrow with a feast tomorrow."


    Xiong Zhan was not a fool and naturally could tell that Hu Rong did not believe the words he said.


    But Xiong Zhan also knew that all of this that he said was seriously somewhat too fantastical to imagine. Listening to it really seemed like weaving a story.


    If he did not see with his own eyes but was relayed to him by other people, he definitely would not believe it.


    Xiong Zhan nodded his head and turned around and left with Ye Yuan.


    After the two left, Hu Rong suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Xiao-er, how much of Xiong Zhan''s words do you think can be trusted?"


    Hu Xiao scurried out from inside and shook his head and said, "This child feels that there isn''t an iota of credibility! That Ye Yuan only has Tier 4 strength. Even if he really had the ability to cross boundaries to battle, how could he possibly defeat Peng Yun? Furthermore, what the roc clan is most proficient in is speed. To let a Tier 4 martial artist go and compete in speed with a late-stage Tier 5 Peng Yun . . . isn''t this a joke?"


    Hu Rong nodded his head, but he did not comment anything. He then asked, "Is the person sent out already?"


    Hu Xiao nodded and said, "Already sent out. But the quickest most likely also needs three to four days'' time before it can be thoroughly investigated."


    "En. Xiong Zhan is our Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s elder. Back then, he received Big Brother''s great grace. Presumably, he won''t betray the tiger clan. Rather, that youth has unclear origins. There''s no choice but to guard against him! If there''s really any problem, it''s almost certain to have been planned by that youth. Sigh . . . If Big Brother could take a turn for the better, we wouldn''t be at an extent of quaking in our boots these few years either, akin to treading on thin ice!" Hu Rong said.


    "Sigh . . . That''s also something that can''t be helped." Hu Xiao followed up with a sigh. Suddenly, his eyeballs swiveled around, and he moved closer to Hu Rong and said, "Uncle Rong, why not send somebody to go and test that boy a bit? Whether he''s really capable or bragging, wouldn''t it be out with a probe?"


    "You''re saying . . ."


    "Didn''t that boy claim to be the Dragon Lord? Then let''s make the real Dragon Lord exchange blows with him and see who''s the real Dragon Lord!" Hu Xiao felt that this idea was pretty good and said proudly.


    Hu Rong''s eyes lit up, and he said, "This idea is not bad! The Dragon Lord''s identity is extraordinary. Once he knows that somebody impersonated him, he probably won''t tolerate the other party''s existence!"

 660 Long Tengs Unexpected Invitation

    "Ye Yuan, you''re really not the Dragon Lord?"


    After settling down, the first question Xiong Zhan asked was ascertaining the issue of Ye Yuan''s identity.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I said that I wasn''t the Dragon Lord long ago."


    "But . . . you clearly have a reverse scale on you! Apart from the Dragon Lord, how can a reverse scale possibly appear on the bodies of other people?" Xiong Zhan could not figure it out even after racking his brain.


    In this God Prohibited Demon Region, a reverse scale would only appear on the bodies of the genuine dragon race.


    If Ye Yuan was not the Dragon Lord, who on earth was he?


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who said that having a reverse scale is the dragon lord? Anyway, I''m indeed not the Dragon Lord."


    ". . . . . ." Xiong Zhan was speechless and only said after a long time, "Alright then. Drop this matter for now. The news that we brought, Lord Hu Rong doesn''t believe it at all! Sigh, talking about it is vexing too. If Lord Hu Yan was around, why would there be a need for me, this puny little bear race, to worry about this matter? What do you think we should do now?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "One word, wait!"


    "Wait?" Xiong Zhan said, baffled.


    "That''s right! Just set your mind at ease and stay here will do. After a few days, we''ll naturally see the outcome," Ye Yuan said coolly, seemingly indifferent.


    . . . . . .


    Returning to his residence, Ye Yuan''s mind suddenly stirred, and he entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Senior Long Teng, you''re looking for me?"


    A person appeared before Ye Yuan''s eyes. It was precisely Long Teng.


    Ever since Ye Yuan obtained the Vast Heaven Pagoda, this fellow had always been deep in slumber. This was still his first time coming out to speak but did not know for what.


    But Long Teng frowned slightly and said, "There''s a dragon race''s little bastard nearby!"


    Ye Yuan gave Long Teng a glance rather surprisedly, thinking to himself why did this fellow have such a great grievance towards the dragon race?


    Long Teng normally appeared to be unwilling to expend the tiniest speck of energy. That was why he was in a state of deep sleep all along. Today, for the sake of a nearby dragon, he actually materialized a clone out.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that this Dragon Lord was roughly similar in strength with that Hu Xiao and Peng Yun too. To Long Teng, he was just a junior. Was there a need to raise such a big ruckus?


    "Senior is impressive. There is indeed a dragon nearby. He claims to be the Dragon Lord," Ye Yuan said honestly.


    Even though he had not met the dragon lord, without a doubt, that fellow was definitely a dragon.


    Long Teng''s expression turned cold, and he said to Ye Yuan, "Dragon Lord? Heh heh, a creature who has an unduly high opinion of himself. What high-sounding sentiments! Ye Yuan, I don''t care what method you use, you must thrash this fellow brutally for me! Beat him until he cries for his daddy and mummy!"


    What a terrific fellow. Ye Yuan had not even met with him yet, and Long Teng made him be so ruthless. How great an enmity was this?


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Hu hu, this doesn''t need much work. If my conjectures are right, that Dragon Lord will probably come to find trouble with me tomorrow."


    This Dragon Lord clearly had pretty good relations with the tiger clan. With Xiong Zhan''s protection, the tiger clan could not very well make a move on him too.


    Want to ascertain his actual situation, the Dragon Lord was undoubtedly the best option.


    As long as they disclosed the matter of Ye Yuan impersonating the Dragon Lord, most likely, the dragon lord definitely would not take things lying down.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Leng Teng''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Like that huh, then that''s for the best! That punk''s strength is a little stronger than yours. Let''s begin special training now. You train properly for me! You must beat him down for me!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being confused when he heard and said, "Making a frantic last-minute effort, there''s no time, right?"


    But Ye Yuan was still secretly quite startled in his heart. Long Teng should be very clear about his strength. He actually said that he was not that Dragon Lord''s match. Looks like this Dragon Lord truly had a well-deserved reputation.


    No wonder every generation''s Dragon Lord could all leave behind a legend in the God Prohibited Demon Region. Looks like their strength could not be underestimated.


    The Void Escape Thunderous Explosion Talismans in Ye Yuan''s hands were already used up. Dealing with late-stage Tier 5 demons was still rather taxing.


    Long Teng casually fished out a piece of crystal stone and said, "I say can make it, means can make it!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing when he saw the crystal stone in Long Teng''s hand. "A chaos gem!"


    "Huhu, you, this brat, really knows quite a bit! To actually even recognize chaos gems! One piece of chaos gem can make the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s time flow slow down 60 times. Furthermore, it can last for three days. Therefore, you still have a night''s time, which is also roughly 20 day''s time!" Long Teng said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan''s face could not help turning black when he heard that and said, "You said before previously that there''s no way to make time flow become slow!"


    Long Teng appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, "Hehe, the chaos gems I have on hand are not many already. I naturally have to use them sparingly. Since you know about the chaos gem, you should also know its preciousness. Furthermore, with your comprehension abilities, you actually don''t need to control time flow, isn''t it so?"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Is that so? Does senior feel that I''m so easy to . . . hoodwink? Apologies, I don''t wish to establish a powerful foe for no reason at all. This match, can I not fight?"


    Long Teng hurriedly said when he heard that, "Don''t, don''t, don''t! I''m really not bluffing you! The chaos gems I have on hand are really not many already!"


    Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "Huhu, is that so?"


    Long Teng could not help choking up as he said dejectedly, "Speak then. What terms do you want?"


    Ye Yuan was thrilled when he heard and said smilingly, "Wouldn''t it be done if you were so straightforward in advance? I don''t want much either, just ten pieces are enough!"


    "No way! At most two pieces!"


    "Eight pieces! Any lesser and there''s nothing to talk about!"


    "Consider yourself ruthless! Five pieces! Can''t be any higher! I also just have a total of 20 pieces of chaos gems on hand. You know that I still have use for it myself!"


    "Fine. Deal!" Ye Yuan agreed without any hesitation.


    Long Teng felt his flesh hurt. The muscles on his face were all spasming.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan held the chaos gem in his hand and asked, "How to use this thing?"


    Long Teng said with a black face, "Insert the chaos gem into the Vast Heaven Stele will do. You''re the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner now. This 180 days, you can use them freely!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and inserted the chaos gem into the Vast Heaven Stele according to what was said.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan very quickly sensed the time flow around him become slow.


    Right then, Long Teng fished out another small bottle and threw it to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan received it, took a look, and in delight he said, "Heaven''s Heart Earth Nether Milk!"


    "You only have 20 day''s time. Break through to the Sixth Level Soul Sea for me, then bash that fellow down for me! With this, there''s no issue, right?" Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "If I can''t even beat down the Dragon Lord like this, then what face do I still have to come and see senior? You just wait here for my good news!"


    Heaven''s Heart Earth Nether Milk contained incomparably, extremely titanic amounts of essence energy. It was a superb item to use for cultivation.


    This one small bottle of Heaven''s Heart Earth Nether Milk was extremely precious. To think that Long Teng actually brought it out casually.


    Looks like the treasures on this fellow''s body was really quite a fair bit. In the past, what was given to those geniuses was most likely some trash goods.


    The genuinely good stuff was all stashed away himself!


    Looks like in the future, got to find a time to properly squeeze this old fellow!

 661 Brutally Clobbering the Dragon Lord!

    In the Vast Heaven Pagoda, 20 days passed in a flash.


    In these 20 days, Ye Yuan relied on the Heaven''s Heart Earth Nether Milk to successfully break through two levels in a row, finally breaking through to the Sixth Level Soul Sea.


    As long as he had sufficient essence energy to support, Ye Yuan''s breakthroughs would only follow as a matter of course.


    But the Heaven''s Heart Earth Nether Milk that Ye Yuan expended was also rather considerable. The essence energy he required to break through was too terrifying!


    "Do you remember all that I''ve told you?" Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan shot Long Teng a strange look and said, "Senior is really going through painstaking efforts! You already said this much. If I don''t pummel that fellow to a pig''s head, wouldn''t I let you down too much?"


    Long Teng did not have any intention of being embarrassed. He burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Hahaha! What I want is this sentence of yours!"


    This time that Long Teng came out, Ye Yuan discovered that his temperament simply changed drastically; there was no hint at all of that sort of taciturn and steadiness from before.


    One could tell that Long Teng did not want to kill that dragon lord either. Just purely harboring the thought of beating up and humiliating the other party.


    Unfortunately, Ye Yuan became his hired thug!


    Of course, regardless of whether Ye Yuan was willing or not, he, this hired thug, could not run away.


    . . . . . .


    The next day early morning, Ye Yuan just came out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda and heard a loud roar from outside the house.


    "Little thief Ye Yuan! Scram outside for this Dragon Lord! A mere human actually dares to pass off as the Dragon Lord? I think that you''re tired of living!"


    Ye Yuan left the house but just happened to bump into Xiong Zhan.


    When Xiong Zhan saw Ye Yuan, he was so shocked that his jaw almost hit the ground.


    "You . . . You broke through . . . two minor boundaries?"


    Breaking through two minor boundaries overnight. This . . . This was simply heaven-defying!


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not explain anything.


    This sort of thing, the more one explained, the more confusing it became. Might as well make it a mystery.


    Ye Yuan came outside the house and saw a young man in azure clothing. He said coolly, "Where is this dog from? Barking madly here early in the morning and disturbing people''s sweet dreams?"


    The azure clothing youth snorted coldly and said, "I was wondering what kind of expert he was, to actually dare impersonate the name of Dragon Lord. Turns out that it''s just a Tier 4 rookie! I''ll give you one chance. Kneel before this Dragon Lord, and I can spare you from death!"


    Ye Yuan''s face revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "So, you''re this generation''s v? Previously, I kept hearing how every generation''s Dragon Lord is a hero of the world. Seeing it today, it really makes me too disappointed."


    The Dragon Lord''s face darkened, and he said in a solemn voice, "How this Dragon Lord is, isn''t up to you, this sort of trash, to comment! Looking at your appearance, you aren''t planning on giving this Dragon Lord an account?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Want me to give an account, sure. That will have to see if you have that capability."


    "Heh, truly not shedding tears until you see the coffin! Since that''s the case, I''ll send you off!"


    The Dragon Lord did not say another word. An outrageous dragon pressure directly erupted out, truly incomparably stunning.


    The two people''s commotion was so great that there had already been quite a number of Darkfiend Tiger Clan members crowding over long ago.


    Even though the Darkfiend Tiger Clan had divine beast bloodline too, furthermore, considered a very powerful clan in the God Prohibited Demon Region, compared to the Dragon Lord, it was still far too lacking!


    It was precisely because dragon''s bloodline was extremely pure that they could become every generation''s king.


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling coldly when he saw the situation. The dragon pressure in his body abruptly erupted out at the same time!


    With this, everyone''s faces all changed.


    Ye Yuan''s bloodline power was actually even stronger than the Dragon Lord''s!


    "This . . . What''s going on here? The dragon race bloodline power in this boy''s body is actually even stronger than the Dragon Lord''s!"


    "Really seeing ghosts! This boy is clearly a human. How can his bloodline power possibly be stronger than the Dragon Lord''s?"


    "Could it be that the Dragon Lord in our clan all along was fake?"


    The Darkfiend Tiger Clan members were discussing animatedly. It naturally could not hide from Dragon Lord''s ears.


    These commenting sounds sounded so ear-piercing to him.


    He seriously could not figure out why the bloodline power in the body of a human would be even more powerful than his!


    How could he know that the dragon blood Ye Yuan refined was a half-divine beast blood essence?


    What kind of notion was a half-divine beast?


    That was an existence whose bloodline had already evolved towards the divine beast. The might and power were already formidable to an unimaginable extent.


    Their bloodline power already infinitely approached divine beast.


    Forget about him, a puny little Dragon Lord. Even if those dragon race major powers in the Divine Realm came, they might not be more powerful than Ye Yuan''s bloodline power.


    If not for Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm being too low, just based on his bloodline power, he would be able to crush this Dragon Lord until he could not lift his head!


    Furthermore, the dragon blood that Ye Yuan refined, there was still a large portion of energy incubating within his body.


    Following Ye Yuan''s strength becoming increasingly stronger, the bloodline power in his body would also get more and more powerful.


    Ye Yuan broke through two minor boundaries overnight and stimulated another portion of dragon blood out. To want to suppress the Dragon Lord in terms of bloodline power, wasn''t it still like playing?


    "A mere human actually dares to steal dragon race bloodline? Death penalty!"


    The Dragon Lord roared furiously and directly transformed into a phantom, attacking Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s aura abruptly erupted, directly breaking through the bottleneck of late-stage Soul Sea, reaching Eighth Level Soul Sea!


    Boom!


    The Dragon Lord who had a tumultuous imposing momentum was directly struck flying out.


    Then . . . the entire battle became Ye Yuan''s solo performance.


    The insufferably arrogant Dragon Lord was directly reduced to Ye Yuan''s sandbag, being beaten until he did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Each and every one of the surrounding Darkfiend Tiger Clan all had wide gaping mouths. Clearly, they were dumbfounded by this scene.


    In their view, the Dragon Lord was an ever-victorious existence. This battle should be a one-sided one.


    En, right now, it was indeed one-sided. It was just that the winning and losing sides . . . were reversed.


    The Dragon Lord really wanted to explode. Yet, he already lost the initiative and did not even have the leeway to retaliate.


    How terrifying was Ye Yuan''s strength?


    Disregarding others, just solely on the subject of speed, the Dragon Lord could not even catch up by whipping his horse!


    Ye Yuan''s speed was what even Peng Yun was powerless against, let alone the Dragon Lord.


    Though the dragon race''s strength was formidable, speed was not their strong point.


    Just in terms of speed, Ye Yuan was established in an undefeatable position.


    Often, when Ye Yuan''s attack landed, the Dragon Lord had yet to hit the ground and was directly intercepted in midair by Ye Yuan already.


    Under such a speed, it was practically something impossible for the Dragon Lord to want to counterattack.


    When experts exchanged moves, losing the initiative was equivalent to losing one''s life.


    The Dragon Lord''s evaluation of Ye Yuan''s strength in the beginning was severely lacking, resulting in somewhat underestimating the opponent.


    Who could have thought that once Ye Yuan made a move, it would be earth-shattering?


    Actually, even if Ye Yuan broke through two minor boundaries originally, adding in the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, it was also not possible to beat the Dragon Lord until like this.


    In-between this naturally still had some matters that had no need to let others know.


    At the same time that the Dragon lord was getting a beating, he was unbelievably perplexed.


    He was puzzled why Ye Yuan was so clear about his weak points.


    He just stuck his butt out, and Ye Yuan knew what was going to come out.


    In addition, losing the initiative right from the beginning, the Dragon Lord was passive in all respects right now, getting a beating all over.


    It was also uncertain how long had passed. Ye Yuan''s attacks suddenly ceased. Only then did those surrounding tiger clan members finally come back to their sense. Their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with awe and veneration.


    Looking at the Dragon Lord again . . . he was already pummeled until looking like a pig''s head!

 662 Who Dares to Touch My Big Brother!

    Everyone looked at this scene in horror. They were speechless for a long while.


    Each generation''s Dragon Lord were all legends. This was a sentence passed down in the God Prohibited Demon Region.


    However, what happened . . . here now?


    Too subverting!


    If let''s say the Dragon Lord and Ye Yuan fought until neither could gain an upper-hand, they could accept it. To say that the Dragon Lord and Ye Yuan had a great battle for hundreds of rounds, then was defeated, they could accept that too.


    However, how was this some fight? It was simply Ye Yuan''s one-sided abusing!


    When did dragon lords become so noob?


    "Bloodline power can''t match up to this Little Lord, so you say that Little Lord''s dragon race bloodline power was stolen. If you have the capabilities, steal one for me to see!" Ye Yuan looked at the pighead-like Dragon Lord and said with a cold smile.


    Yeah. To talk about stealing inferior dragon blood, that was not impossible.


    But the dragon blood in Ye Yuan''s body was too pure; even purer than the Dragon Lord''s!


    Dragon blood like this, regardless of whether it was placed, it would be a supreme treasure. Wanting to steal was simply impossible.


    Such slandering was way too groundless.


    "Uncle Rong, i-isn''t this Ye Yuan''s strength too formidable? The Dragon Lord didn''t have the strength to counterattack in front of him at all!" Hu Xiao''s tone was somewhat quivering. Clearly, he was alarmed by Ye Yuan''s strength.


    Hu Xiao''s strength and the Dragon Lord''s were also almost the same. Ye Yuan could easily defeat the Dragon Lord, indicating that his strength was definitely above his.


    Previously, he doubted if Ye Yuan had this strength to defeat Peng Yun or not. But now, Ye Yuan used strength to prove everything.


    Hu Rong had a look of astonishment too. But he shook his head and said, "This Ye Yuan''s fighting style seems to curb the Dragon Lord quite a lot. Plus, his own strength is super strong. That''s why the Dragon Lord could not not use the slightest strength to retaliate. If judging according to both party''s strength, the Dragon Lord might not lose to him much. It''s just that . . . Ye Yuan seems to be intentionally humiliating the dragon lord. This isn''t some good sign! This fellow, isn''t deliberately sowing dissension between the Dragon Lord and our Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s relationship, right?"


    Hu Xiao''s expression changed, and he said, "When he came yesterday, he was clearly only Fourth Level Soul Sea. He actually broke through two minor realms overnight. Too bizarre! This fellow''s origins are unclear, and his strength is formidable. We must be on guard!"


    Xu Rong frowned and said, "Could it be . . . the bear clan really betrayed us?"


    "Uncle Rong, people''s heart is hard to fathom! Him not betraying in the past doesn''t mean not betraying now! This boy called Ye Yuan, the timing he appeared is too coincidental! In my view, he''s definitely here for the Azure Spirit Tree! Our tiger clan has been plotting all along for these ten years in order to capture this Azure Spirit Tree. Now, when it''s finally time to draw the net in, not the tiniest bit of accident can be tolerated!"


    Hu Rong nodded and said, "Xiao-er, what you said is right! This boy''s origins are unclear. Even if we don''t kill him, we also have to detain him first before talking! Wait until we capture the Azure Spirit Tree and save Big Brother, it''s not too late to release him then!"


    Finished talking, Hu Rong''s figure flashed and stared at Ye Yuan with a dark expression as he said, "Boy, you actually dare to beat our tiger clan''s esteemed guest until like this. What intentions do you have?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, but he had yet to speak when Xiong Zhan came forward and beat him to it, "It was this fellow himself who provoked first! It was plain for everybody to see! Who can be blamed for his strength to be lacking himself and getting beaten until like this by Ye Yuan? Hu Rong, aren''t you going too far like this?"


    Unknowingly, Xiong Zhan''s address towards Hu Rong also quietly underwent a change.


    Very clearly, he felt very disappointed by the tiger clan''s current sort of situation.


    Otherwise, with Xiong Zhan''s forthrightness, a personality that would rather sacrifice the entire clan than be willing to surrender, he definitely would not be this way.


    Hu Rong clearly also did not expect that the all along staunch and steadfast Xiong Zhan would actually take the lead to rebuke him. His expression involuntarily darkened as he reproached, "Xiong Zhan! Looks if you''ve really changed! Say then, just what intentions do you have for entering the tiger clan in collusion with this boy this time!"


    Hu Rong''s words were like a knife, cutting viciously on Xiong Zhan''s heart. That sort of pain, there was no way of using words to describe it.


    "Senior Xiong Zhan, no need to waste your breath. This person is prone to suspicion. The more you explain, the more he feels that you have ulterior motives. Since this place doesn''t welcome us, let''s go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Showed your true colors, right? Heh, brat who overestimated his own ability! You don''t think that you can leave this place by relying on the strength of you two, right?" Hu Rong said with a cold smile.


    As he said, Hu Rong''s powerful aura enveloped Ye Yuan duo inside fully.


    This Hu Rong was late-stage Tier 6 strength; it was totally not what Ye Yuan duo could withstand.


    Right at this time, a pure, yet powerful pressure crept over. Everyone''s faces changed!


    Those tiger clan members whose strength slightly weaker all knelt down in submission without prior consultation!


    This was the divine beast pressure belonging to the tiger race. It was not strong; only initial-stage Tier 5 strength. But this pressure was much more unadulterated compared to Hu Rong, this sort of inferior brand.


    Hu Rong''s face changed as he said, "This . . . This is Tiger Lord, His Excellency''s pressure! Why is he here?"


    A young profile slowly appeared in everyone''s sights. This young man looked rather like a half-grown child; he was dignified and strong, but with an appearance still possessing childish innocence.


    Once this tiger race pressure descended, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred.


    This pressure actually seemed familiar!


    But when this young man appeared, Ye Yuan could not help being uncertain. Because he had never seen this young man before.


    "Who dares to touch my Big Brother!" the youth said with a rather childish voice.


    Hearing these words, everyone''s reaction was all very different.


    Hu Rong''s expression changed, and his face revealed a look of dread. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became different.


    While Ye Yuan''s eyes gleamed with light as he looked at that dignified and strong-looking young man.


    The youth had his back facing Ye Yuan currently. He suddenly turned out and flashed Ye Yuan a bright smile.


    Ye Yuan started smiling too, his laughter becoming increasingly bigger.


    Until the back, the two people laughed loud and long and had a fierce embrace.


    Who was this youth, if not the White Light after taking form?


    "Stinking brat! A few days of not seeing and you actually took form successfully already!"


    Ye Yuan chortled with laughter as he slammed a fist onto the youth''s chest with indescribable excitement.


    He was still worried about White Light''s safety previously, afraid that he was stuck in the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog. Ye Yuan originally planned on coming to the tiger clan to inquire about it. Who knew that he actually stirred up such trouble with the tiger clan.


    He did not expect that White Light was actually at the Darkfiend Tiger clan. Furthermore, he succeeded in taking form.


    "Haha! If I don''t hurry up and take form, I wouldn''t be able to keep up with Big Brother''s speed! I''m an exalted divine beast progeny. I can''t drag Big Brother down no matter what!" White Light said with a big laugh.


    The two people started chatting like no one else was around. But Hu Rong''s expression became increasingly uglier.


    He never would have thought that the Tiger Lord would actually think of Ye Yuan as his brother. Looking at the appearance, the two people''s relationship was good enough until they could wear one pair of trousers.


    What to do?


    Right then, another figure appeared inside the tiger clan.


    "Haha! The Darkfiend Tiger Clan is so lively! Looks like I came really just in time!"

 663 Looting a Burning House

    Once this person appeared, the atmosphere immediately became tense.


    The tiger clan members had a look akin to facing a great enemy. They were clearly very fearful of the arrival.


    The moment that person saw the tiger clan members'' appearances, he could not help laughing, "Haha! Everyone, I don''t have ill-intentions. I''m here to find Mister Ye!"


    Hu Rong''s expression changed once more, his gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan on alert.


    The arrival was none other than precisely the Peng Hai who was sent over by Peng Tian!


    "Ye Yuan, aren''t you going to give us an explanation? Tiger Lord, this person is harboring malicious intent, colluding with the roc clan with intent to attack the tiger clan!" Hu Rong gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised looking by the side. White Light was clearly only Tier 5 cultivation, but Hu Rong seemed to be very fearful of him.


    Already to this sort of extent and he actually had not fallen out with White Light yet.


    White Light snorted coldly and said, "Explain about what? Whatever my big brother says, that''s how it is! With me around, how can my big brother be detrimental towards the tiger clan? Shut your mouth up and listen to what he has to say!"


    White Light had a childish voice when talking, but was imposing and domineering, making Ye Yuan keep on wanting to laugh.


    Ye Yuan shot Peng Hai a nonchalant look and said, "Since you came, you still dare to play this sort of petty tricks with me? I think you''re complaining that Peng Yun has lived for too long, right?"


    Peng Hai was still snickering just now. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, his expression suddenly changed.


    Indeed, he was rash just now and purely wanted to implicate Ye Yuan a bit.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually guessed his purpose for coming long ago.


    Looks like the injuries on Peng Yun''s body was totally intentional by Ye Yuan.


    Having such a precise grasp on Peng Yun''s injuries, this Ye Yuan was simply too terrifying!


    "Cough, cough, that . . . Didn''t I not have chance to say yet? H-Haha," Peng Hai landed in the field as he said awkwardly.


    Hu Rong and the others still had a manner as if they were facing a great enemy. Furthermore, they became even more cautious.


    Although Hu Rong''s strength was above Peng Hai''s, who knew if he had brought numerous roc clan experts over behind him or not.


    Moreover, they did not receive any news beforehand. This was the scariest.


    "Since Lord Hu Rong wants an explanation, then you give it to him."


    Ye Yuan said it coolly, but everyone was anxious and uncertain.


    Hu Rong and the others were not fools either. They could also tell from Peng Hai''s look that he was very wary of Ye Yuan.


    Hearing the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words, Peng Yun''s small life seemed to be grasped in the hands of Ye Yuan.


    That was to say . . . Ye Yuan and Peng Hai were not together?


    Could it be that those words Ye Yuan said previously were all true?


    Once the thought hit, Hu Rong''s entire person was somewhat ruffled.


    Peng Hai smiled awkwardly and said, "Hu Rong, you don''t need to be like this. I''m here to make peace with your tiger clan on behalf of the roc clan."


    "Make peace?" Hu Rong doubted if his own ears heard wrongly or not.


    Now at this time, it was precisely when the tiger clan was the weakest, and the roc clan the stronger. Peng Hai actually came to find him to negotiate peace.


    This bunch of fellows wouldn''t have eaten the wrong medicine, right?


    Hu Rong unwittingly looked over towards Ye Yuan once more. What in the world did this fellow do, to actually be able to let the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan make peace at any cost?


    "That''s right! It''s make peace! Mister Ye, I wonder if you''re still satisfied with this explanation?" Peng Hai looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "What has it got to do with me whether you guys make peace or not? What I want isn''t this explanation!"


    Peng Hai''s heart went slightly cold. Could it be that kissing ass kissed onto the foot?


    He saw that Ye Yuan and that tiger lord''s relationship was very intimate and would definitely stand on the tiger clan''s standpoint, that was why he gave rise to this idea. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not buy it at all.


    Looks like the tiger clan offended Ye Yuan badly!


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s words made Hu Rong''s heart quiver.


    This peace negotiation that had come to an agreement was gone just like that?


    Honestly speaking, the roc clan suggesting peace negotiations right now, they were more than happy to welcome it. Why would they refuse?


    But Ye Yuan this fellow actually messed up the peace negotiations with one sentence!


    Like the saying went, don''t wash dirty linen in public. Actually, Peng Hai also did not wish to let the tiger clan know about the news of Peng Yun almost getting crippled.


    But at this time, he clearly could not hide it anymore, and could only come clean.


    "Actually, I came here this time to invite Mister Ye to be a guest at our roc clan, and treat our Young Lord Peng Yun''s injuries with you''re at it! Previously, we had understandings between us, resulting in causing some unnecessary trouble . . ."


    Peng Hai spoke with fervor and assurance, briefly describing the events that happened on that day. It was actually not much different from Xiong Zhan''s.


    "Forget about being a guest. I don''t wish to cross the Rubicon! Anyway. . . why should I treat Peng Yun''s injuries? If you didn''t harbor devious thoughts back then, you also wouldn''t have ended up coming to beg me in an obsequious manner now," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Peng Hai had an awkward look as he said, "Whatever terms Mister Ye has, feel free to state them. As long as my roc clan can accomplish it, we absolutely won''t shirk!"


    Ye Yuan smiled rather wickedly as he said, "Really?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s smile, Peng Hai''s heart involuntarily palpitated a bit and had a foreboding premonition.


    But upon recalling Peng Tian''s words before setting off, Peng Hai could not help nodding his head fiercely.


    Ye Yuan said, "I want three drops of Kun Peng blood essence. Don''t tell me you don''t have!"


    Peng Hai nearly jumped up. He pointed at Ye Yuan and said, "You! You''re looting a burning house here!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I knew that you''d have this reaction. I only stated the price. Whether you agree or not is up to you. Furthermore, I feel that using three drops of Kun Peng blood essence to exchange for Peng Yun''s life, it''s still you guys who got off real cheap. You think about it; the Kun Peng blood essence that you all expended on him far surpassed three drops, right?"


    Ye Yuan understood quite a bit about the demon races'' situation and knew that in demonic beasts progeny clans, they generally had their own sacred ground. That was the place to enshrine and worship forefathers.


    Before demons died, they would normally all enter the sacred ground and contribute a portion of their own blood essence.


    Inside the sacred ground had this power that could cleanse and purify bloodline, letting the blood essence rank rise.


    But this process was exceedingly slow. Furthermore, every generation''s demon clan would expend blood essence. Hence, the blood essence that every clan stored in reserve was not considered much.


    Actually, Ye Yuan only want to probe a bit just now. Because what he understood was just the Divine Realm''s demon clans'' situation. He did not think that the demon clans inside the God Prohibited Demon Region really had blood essence reserves.


    Kun Peng blood essence was an extremely valuable divine beast bloodline too. Although it could not compare to dragon race bloodline, it was also an exceptionally high-grade bloodline.


    Of course, the Kun Peng blood essence that the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan stored was definitely unable to compare to the dragon blood that Ye Yuan swallowed. The two were not on the same level at all.


    Peng Hai''s expression changed several times, and he said, "This matter''s stake is too significant. I can''t make the decision and must ask for instructions from the clan head. If Clan Head agrees, the Kun Peng blood essence should be able to be delivered within three days!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright. I''ll wait for your news! Uh . . . Our matter is settled. You guys continue. How it should be, let it happen. Make sure not to give me face!"


    Hu Rong''s expression changed when he heard that. His gaze involuntarily looked towards White Light embarrassedly and said, "Tiger Lord . . ."


    White Light turned the whites of his eyes up at him and said crossly, "Who asked you all to not know good from bad and offended my big brother! Now you know his prowess, right?"Crossing the Rubicon is a historical idiom or saying that is referring to an act that is something fateful or leading to a final outcome that will set a person''s life till the end. It can also refer to something if done, cannot be changed later on. It has an irreversible outcome.

 664 Dark Fores

    White Light''s words made Hu Rong have an embarrassed look.


    "This . . . Tiger Lord, you also know that the tiger clan right now is experiencing extraordinary times . . ."


    White Light waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, so much crap! The matters in the past, I won''t care about them. But you remember it now, anybody can be provoked, but make sure not to provoke my big brother!"


    White Light paused for a bit and said, "Because . . . you can''t afford to provoke him!"


    White Light''s words made everyone shocked.


    But at this time, there was already nobody who doubted this sentence.


    Ye Yuan''s origins were mysterious, beat Peng Yun to heavy injuries when it was impossible, and kept the entire roc clan in check.


    Now, Peng Hai was begging in front of Ye Yuan like a grandson.


    The Dragon Lord ran in front of Ye Yuan and raised a racket. In the end, he was bashed until turning into a pig''s head.


    The tiger clan wanted to make things difficult for Ye Yuan. Who knew that he and the Tiger Lord were actually bosom friends.


    Looking at it now, if they made White Light choose between Ye Yuan and the tiger clan, he would definitely choose Ye Yuan without the slightest hesitation.


    Such a person, who could afford to provoke?


    Ye Yuan''s strength was clearly not strong. Yet, anyone present was all unable to do anything to him.


    Hu Rong showed a difficult look and said, "But . . . this way, we''re bound to offend the Dragon Lord."


    "Dragon Lord? The Dragon Lord is nothing in front of my big brother! Also, if you guys don''t want to offend the Dragon Lord, you''ll have to offend me, this Tiger Lord! Up to yourself!" White Light said disdainfully.


    "This . . . "


    "This what this! Why haven''t you apologized to my big brother yet?! If not for my sake, just based on your actions, do you think that my big brother would be willing to let it go?"


    Currently, the tiger clan''s fate depended on just a word from Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan joined hands with the roc clan to attack the tiger clan, the outcome would be too terrible to imagine.


    Hence, White Light''s words did not have areas that were the slightest bit exaggerating things to raise an alarm.


    Hu Rong was not a fool either. After struggling with it for a while, he finally still lowered his head.


    He came before Ye Yuan and said, "Mister Ye, it was all Hu Rong measuring the stature of a great man by the yardstick of a petty man. Mister Ye, please stay your hand in mercy."


    With White Light around, Ye Yuan naturally would not really do anything to the tiger clan.


    Furthermore, the present situation, it was clearly better for both sides to keep each other in check than for one side be annihilated.


    The card in other people''s hands and on his own hand was of course different.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Today, I was taking into consideration on account of White Light''s face. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t mind going to the roc clan to be a guest."


    When Peng Hai heard, he was naturally filled with unwillingness in his heart. But at this time, there was nothing he could do to Ye Yuan as well.


    He had planned out well in his heart long ago. Once Young Lord Peng Yun''s injuries recover, he would definitely show Ye Yuan some colors!


    But Peng Hai obviously would not bring it out on the surface. He went forward and said, "Mister Ye, Young Lord Peng Yun''s injuries . . ."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "As long as you all bring the Kun Peng blood essence here, there''s naturally no issue. I''ll start a furnace and refine pills in a while to refine the medicinal pills to treat Peng Yun''s wounds."


    Peng Hai could not help being overjoyed when he heard those words and said, "I''ll send a message to Clan Head right away!"


    "Hang on!" Peng Hai was just about to leave when Ye Yuan stopped him.


    "Does Mister Ye still have any instructions?" Peng Hai inquired cautiously.


    "En, I haven''t finished talking yet."


    When Peng Hai heard, his heart thumped, and he cried out inwardly: not good.


    Indeed, he heard Ye Yuan say leisurely, "Previously, my attack wasn''t light nor heavy, resulting in Peng Yun''s injuries to be somewhat severe. Although my medicinal pills can treat him. The medicinal effect of one medicinal pill is definitely not enough."


    When Peng Hai heard, his expression was indescribably nasty.


    What was called one medicinal pill was not enough?


    To be able to hurt Peng Yun until like that, but not cripple him, how precise did the attack have to be?!


    Ye Yuan even calculated him coming before he came!


    Such precise skill, he would be neither light nor heavy?


    Only a ghost would believe you!


    However . . . that did not seem to have any use at all.


    Whatever Ye Yuan said now was what it was.


    "Then . . . roughly how long is needed before he can recover?" Peng Hai asked with a quivering voice.


    "Uh . . . Roughly half a year or so I guess. Take a medicinal pill once every two months. Three pills should be sufficient."


    ". . . . . ."


    Peng Hai left with a dispirited look.


    . . . . . .


    Inside the tiger clan''s hidden chamber, Ye Yuan and White Light had another bear hug. The two people were clearly both very agitated.


    "Haha! Big Brother, really didn''t expect to be able to see you here! I just broke through not long ago and was just thinking of deploying the tiger clan''s strength to go find you! I knew that with your capabilities, you could definitely walk out of the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog!" White Light said rather excitedly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I also didn''t expect it! How did you walk out of the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog and also become the Tiger Lord?"


    Ye Yuan guessed that a tiger lord should be an existence similar to a dragon lord.


    It was just that no idea why Hu Rong would be so fearful towards the White Light who was only Tier 5.


    Only under White Light''s explanation did Ye Yuan came to a realization.


    Turns out that after White Light entered the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog, the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog actually did not have any effect on him at all.


    Ye Yuan had exhausted all the essence energy recovery medicinal pills back then and broke through to Heart Like Monolith realm before barely managing to charge out.


    Listening to White Light''s encounters, Ye Yuan was also speechless.


    But after White Light walked out of the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog, he went rather far away from Ye Yuan and actually appeared in the vicinity of the tiger clan directly.


    White Light''s bloodline power made all of the tiger clan fall head over heels.


    White Light''s tiger race bloodline was even much more powerful and pure compared to that Dragon Lord who got beaten up.


    Not only that, White Light''s bloodline power was even purer than the blood essence in the tiger clan''s sacred ground.


    Such pure White Tiger bloodline, he was naturally deified as a god by the tiger clan, thinking that White Light came out from there.


    The Dragon Lord coming to the tiger clan was at most just a friend. But White Light in the tiger clan, his position was entirely different.


    He was like a prince descending to the mortal realm, revered by the tiger clan.


    "Ever since I entered the God Prohibited Demon Region, I kept on hearing about that place. Only now do I know that that place is called the Dark Forest. No idea just what kind of place this Dark Forest is. To actually make all of the demon clans guard the secret so closely," Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    One had to know that in this God Prohibited Demon Region, Tier 6 experts were everywhere. Legends had it that there were even Tier 7 powerhouses.


    Such powerful existence was actually all very fearful of the Dark Forest.


    White Light shook his head and said, "This, I don''t know either! But I heard Hu Rong they all say that the Dark Forest is the God Prohibited Demon Region''s forbidden land. Nobody can get close. Even if one''s strength were any greater, one would also die mysteriously when approaching there."


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "Even Tier 7 powerhouses can''t enter?"


    White Light shook his head and said, "Can''t enter! But under my curiosity, I once ran to the peripherals of the Dark Forest. At that time, the bloodline within my body actually faintly stirred. It seems like that place and my origins have a great relation!"


    Hearing White Light''s words, Ye Yuan was also slightly startled in his heart.


    Could it be that White Light actually walked out from the forbidden land in the Endless Forest''s forbidden land?


    But White Light also said that once he came close to the Dark Forest, a dangerous aura came with it too. It seemed to be a warning to him. Hence, he did not dare to enter too deep as well.


    Ye Yuan was also incomparably shocked in his heart. Looks like this Endless World was truly hiding secrets everywhere!

 665 The Azure Spirit Tree Belongs to Me!

    Listening to what White Light said, this Dark Forest was simply even more perilous than the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog!


    With their present strength, they were simply unable to enter.


    Perhaps that Dragon Lord, that fellow, knew some things. But he probably would not say over his dead body.


    If the Dragon Lord would disclose information, then the God Prohibited Demon Region would definitely have long known some of the state of affairs inside.


    However, it looked like the Dark Forest was an enigma to the God Prohibited Demon Region.


    "Since that''s the case, then let''s better not attempt to enter that Dark Forest. Wait until our strength is sufficient someday, then go exploring it isn''t too late either," Ye Yuan said.


    This Dark Forest definitely held in store a massive secret. But with Ye Yuan''s current strength, he was unable to explore it at all.


    Ye Yuan was curious. But these curiosities needed for his deep hatred to be avenged, before it could be fulfilled.


    "Big Brother, you should have come to the tiger clan for the Azure Spirit Tree, right?"


    White Light walked all the way along with Ye Yuan and was very clear about Ye Yuan''s affairs.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right. I originally wanted to pay a visit to Hu Yan. Looks like his situation isn''t so great."


    "I''m not very concerned about this either, that''s why I didn''t inquire much as well. But looks like he''s indeed not doing too good. But I know that the tiger clan has been plotting to deal with the Azure Spirit Tree all along these few years. Now, it''s just about time to reel in the net already," White Light said.


    White Light knew that Ye Yuan wanted to find the Azure Spirit Tree, so he would obviously inquire about news in this area.


    With his status, inquiring about these was not hard.


    Ye Yuan sighed emotionally and said, "Good brother, you are so considerate."


    "Haha. Traveling the entire way until now, it was all big brother helping me. Now that I finally managed to have a chance to help big brother, what are you being courteous with me for?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, then I won''t be melodramatic. But the tiger clan could actually ascertain the Azure Spirit Tree''s position under the situation where Hu Yan isn''t around?"


    Not that Ye Yuan was looking down on the tiger clan. But the Azure Spirit Tree''s whereabouts were erratic and extremely hard to grasp.


    Knowing the approximate position, Ye Yuan could naturally determine the Azure Spirit Tree''s position. But to say that the tiger clan had this ability, Ye Yuan did not believe.


    "The place nearby the Dark Forest in the tiger clan''s territory has a piece of wood-attribute spirit vein. The Azure Spirit Tree seemed to have taken fancy on that piece of land. Hence, it has been lingering in that area all along," White Light said.


    Only then did Ye Yuan suddenly came to a realization. This Azure Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spirit wood. What it needed the most was wood-attribute heaven and earth quintessence.


    In the tiger clan''s territory, there was actually a chunk of wood-attribute spirit vein. No wonder it hung around there and did not leave.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said to White Light, "I''ll have a talk with Hu Rong."


    . . . . . .


    "What? You want to take part in rounding up the Azure Spirit Tree?! Heh, you''re indeed here for the Azure Spirit Tree! Even though you''re Tiger Lord''s brother, our Darkfiend Tiger Clan has already plotted for a full ten years for the sake of this day! Why should we give you a cut of the loot?"


    When Hu Rong heard Ye Yuan''s request, he nearly jumped up.


    If not for White Light by the side, he would have long made a move against Ye Yuan.


    He previously judged that Ye Yuan came for the Azure Spirit Tree. Looking at it now, it was indeed like so!


    Hu Rong was still puzzled previously, why the tiger lord would be especially interested in the Azure Spirit Tree. Looking at it now, it was actually for the sake of this boy in front of him.


    Ye Yuan had long guessed Hu Rong''s reaction and said with a faint smile, "Ten years and only laid down Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array?"


    Ye Yuan''s smile carried thick mockery, greatly stimulating Hu Rong.


    Hu Rong gave a cold snort and said furiously, "What do you know? That Azure Spirit Tree''s strength is incomparably powerful! Even Big Brother Hu Yan isn''t a match either! We have to be very wary when laying down the array. Once we let it find out, all the effort would be all for naught. Now, the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is only missing one final step. As long as the grand array is formed, the Azure Spirit Tree will be an item in our bags! You, a foreign boy, wants to sit idly and enjoy the fruits of others'' labor with just a sentence. Do you really take our tiger clan to be easy to bully?"


    In Hu Rong''s view, Ye Yuan was relying on his ties with White Light to demand an exorbitant price.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was pretty good. But surrounding and sieging the Azure Spirit Tree, that was Tier 6 experts'' matters. Tier 5 experts did not even have the qualifications to take part.


    What was Ye Yuan worming his way in at this time for other than reaping what he had not sown?


    Ye Yuan said, "It''s true that the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is powerful. But wanting to trap the Azure Spirit Tree, it''s still a little inadequate. With the likes of your strength right now, to want to capture the Azure Spirit Tree, that''s impossible. Don''t blame me for not warning and you fail to beat the tiger and get hurt instead when the time comes. Even if I have Peng Yun, this chip right now, it most likely can''t protect the Darkfiend Tiger Clan either."


    Hu Rong''s expression changed, and he immediately snorted coldly and said, "Exaggerating to scare people! The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is a peak Tier 6 grand array. Furthermore, it has immensely great restraining effects towards wood-attribute spiritual objects. On what basis can it not subdue the Azure Spirit Tree?"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "What you said is right. But you''ve neglected one point."


    Hu Rong gave a cold laugh but did not follow up.


    Ye Yuan continued, "The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is a fire-attribute grand array. I do indeed have extremely powerful restraining effects towards wood-attribute spiritual objects. If it were changed to another place, you guys would definitely be able to succeed. But sadly . . . what the Azure Spirit Tree took over is a wood-attribute spirit vein! It''s true that myriad things under the heavens reinforce and counteract each other, but that''s not absolute! On this chunk of wood-attribute spirit vein, the Azure Spirit Tree can draw out an inexhaustible flow of wood essence power. When the power of the wood essence exceeds the limits that the grand array can withstand, your grand array will collapse all the same! At the minimum, the Azure Spirit Tree can also draw on the immense wood essence power to deplete the grand array''s constraints. You all are likewise not its match."


    Ye Yuan spoke with confidence and composure. Hu Rong''s expression changed again and again.


    The matter that was originally almost in the bag, now with Ye Yuan saying this, many issues were added on.


    Every word of Ye Yuan''s was reasonable. They really had not thought about this point.


    "Humph! Even if it''s like this, what can you do if you went?" Hu Rong said stubbornly.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "This, you don''t need to care. I naturally have my ways. However, I can help you all catch the Azure Spirit Tree and help you guys treat Hu Yan''s injuries. But the Azure Spirit Tree belongs to me!"


    Hu Rong''s expression changed, "In your dreams!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I''ve already stated the terms. Whether you agree or not is up to you. If you don''t believe in heresy and insist on giving it a shot, it''s also up to you. But the Azure Spirit Tree, I''m determined to get it! If you come to find me again when the time comes, the price will be raised."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan directly turned around and went out, leaving behind Hu Rong with that angry expression flickering incessantly.


    . . . . . .


    The moonlight was obscured. Hu Rong''s figure quietly appeared in the tiger clan''s sacred ground.


    In an empty hall, a slightly aged looking figure was seated on the ground.


    A blood light revolved around him, carrying a thick tiger race aura.


    It was just that his two eyes were tightly shut, seemingly oblivious to the outside world''s situation.


    This person was precisely the Hu Yan who had already vanished for ten years in front of outsiders!


    Hu Rong looked at Hu Yan and said, "Big Brother, the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array will be set up complete tomorrow. This time, I''ll definitely bring the Azure Spirit Tree back for you . . ."


    As Hu Rong said, Hu Yan did not respond, as if he did not hear what he was saying at all.


    Before long, Hu Rong turned around and left.


    However, what he did not notice was that not long after he left, Hu Yan''s eyes actually silently opened.

 666 Return in Defea

    Ahead, was a stretch of lush green forest. The wood essence power emitting out of there made people feel refreshed.


    Hu Rong looked at the clansmen currently bustling about, his gaze filled with anticipation.


    Ye Yuan said that the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array could not deal with the Azure Spirit Tree. But Hu Rong did not believe in this heresy.


    How could ten years of effort be handed over on a platter?


    Today, he brought over ten Darkfiend Tiger Clan Tier 6 experts. Apart from a few staying in the clan to hold down the fort, it could be said to be moving out in full force.


    "Lord Hu Rong, the array formation is done!"


    A clansman came in front of Hu Rong, with a face full of wild elation.


    This array formation was laid down for ten years. Today, it was finally completed. How could they not be excited?


    The demon race was not skilled in the path of formations. Plus, laying down the formation needed to avoid the Azure Spirit Tree''s eyes and ears. The progress of this array formation was naturally very slow.


    When Hu Rong heard, he was thrilled in his heart too. But he forcefully suppressed it.


    "Prepare to activate the array formation! Don''t lower your guard! This Azure Spirit Tree''s strength is extraordinary, and no mistakes can be tolerated!" Hu Rong instructed.


    Even though Hu Rong did not believe Ye Yuan''s words, he was also not as optimistic at this time. Instead, he bucked all the spirits up.


    "Yes, Lord Hu Rong!" The clansman received the order and left.


    When all the preparations were ready, Hu Rong waved his hand and said, "Activate the array formation!"


    Rumble!


    A violent sound spread throughout the entire forest very quickly. A grand array instantly enveloped this wood-attribute spirit vein.


    In an instant, a boundless fire essence power pervaded inside the grand array.


    Those lush green trees drooped and withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Hu Rong took this spectacle fully into his eyes and was excited and worried.


    Honestly speaking, he was really very afraid that Ye Yuan''s words would come true.


    Although Ye Yuan this youth was young, he completely could not be measured with common sense.


    But looking at the current situation, Ye Yuan''s concern was clearly uncalled for!


    The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array perfectly restrained those plants inside. Hu Rong did not see the slightest possibility of the Azure Spirit Tree retaliating at all.


    "Hahaha! The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is indeed powerful! The Azure Spirit Tree is already an object in our Tiger Clan''s bags!"


    "It was not in vain for us to spend the price of ten years to set up the formation. Today, we''ve indeed achieved the effects!"


    "When we capture the Azure Spirit Tree, Lord Hu Yan will be able to recover to his peak state! Our Darkfiend Tiger Clan will be able to roam the God Prohibited Demon Region unhindered again!"


    These Darkfiend Tiger Clan members were all unbelievably agitated. When it was time for ten years of plowing and weeding to receive the harvest, agitation was hard to avoid too.


    Hu Rong was a little calmer than them. But this sort of composure was also gradually being whittled away to nothing by the might of the grand array.


    But he was not anxious. Because the Azure Spirit Tree had not shown itself yet.


    It was definitely impossible for the Azure Spirit Tree, this sort of powerful spirit tree, to resign itself to death like this. He would definitely come out.


    As was expected, before long, a great towering tree suddenly grew up in the grand array.


    This tree was originally inconspicuous among all of the trees. But at this time, it covered everything.


    To be able to still have such vibrant energies within the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisonment Array, there was only the Azure Spirit Tree!


    It was only to see the Azure Spirit Tree extended out many vines and violently bombarded the grand array.


    But the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was indeed extraordinary. Those vines had yet to come into contact with the grand array when they were suddenly ignited by flames.


    Those vines danced in the air just like humans waving their hands and stomping their feet when in pain.


    "Hahaha! This Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array is indeed extraordinary! Even if here is the wood-attribute spirit vein, so what? Isn''t the Azure Spirit Tree still going to submit to us without resistance obediently?" Hu Rong said ecstatically when he saw the situation.


    At this time, the last trace of worry in his heart also melted away into nothing along with it.


    "Deploy the grand array! Beat the Azure Spirit Tree to heavy injuries first!" Hu Rong immediately gave the order.


    "Yes!"


    The clansman presiding over the grand array received the order and immediately went forward to deploy the grand array.


    Thick fire essence power crept towards the Azure Spirit Tree very quickly. The Azure Spirit Tree suddenly radiated a resplendent azure light, wanting to isolate these fire essence power.


    Yet, all of this was a futile effort. This azure light only resisted for a little whole and was breached by the great fire.


    The flames ignited the great towering tree very quickly!


    This scene made all of the Darkfiend Tiger Clan members'' hot blood boil over while they watched.


    The Azure Spirit Tree inside the grand array was peak Tier 6. This fire looked to be incomparably powerful. But to talk about burning it to death, that was impossible.


    What Hu Rong they all wanted was for the Azure Spirit Tree to be severely injured.


    This moment did not let them wait for too long. That Azure Spirit Tree wilted away very quickly under the attack of the flames.


    Right at this moment, Hu Rong gave the order!


    "Charge inside! Capture the Azure Spirit Tree!"


    The Darkfiend Tiger Clan members had long been raring to have a go. Under Hu Rong''s command, over ten figure leaped, directly entering inside the grand array.


    These ten over figures were all Tier 6 experts. Their movements were extremely swift, arriving in the proximity of the Azure Spirit Tree in a blink of an eye.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred!


    The Azure Spirit Tree suddenly gave off a dazzling azure light. Thick wood essence power welled up from under the ground, surging to an extent where it was practically going to burst forth.


    Sensing such thick wood essence power, Hu Rong''s expression changed drastically and he roared madly, "Quickly retreat! We fell into a trap! This fellow wasn''t tricked at all!"


    At this moment, Ye Yuan''s words suddenly flashed across Hu Rong''s mind, regretting until his intestines went green.


    But at this sort of critical moment, he could not be allowed to think too much at all, bringing his clansmen far away immediately.


    Yet, how could the Azure Spirit Tree be easy to bully?


    How was there still any hint of waning on the Azure Spirit Tree''s body? It was even more powerful than before!


    Countless rows of vines zigzagged out from the Azure Spirit Tree, intertwining over towards those dozen over figures with extreme speed.


    Boom!


    This attack, Hu Rong brought out all of his might!


    Luckily, he was a late-stage Tie 6 expert too. Even though he could not compare to the Azure Spirit Tree, slightly withstanding a bit was still achievable.


    This attack of Hu Rong''s proved effective, delaying those vines a moment of time.


    But even so, there were still three or four clansmen with slightly weaker strength who were tangled up by the vines.


    They did not even get to yell out a cry for help and were drowned by countless vines.


    How could Hu Rong still dare to remain at this time? He brought the remaining clansmen and charged right out of the grand array.


    Once out of the grand array, Hu Rong''s entire person was dead-exhausted, directly kneeling onto the ground.


    Bang!


    Hu Rong''s fist smashed onto the ground with unspeakable remorse and vexation.


    Looking at the other clansmen again, how was there still any trace of excitement from before?


    . . . . . .


    In the tiger clan, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and spat out a long breath of turbid air.


    "This Kun Peng blood essence can''t compare to the dragon blood refined previously in the end. The difference between the two is too great!" Ye Yuan sighed.


    "Big Brother, can your cultivation speed be a little slower? Your speed, I can''t catch up even by whipping my horse!" by the side, White Light said gloomily.


    Ye Yuan had just refined the Kun Peng blood essence the roc clan sent over and directly broke through to the Seventh Level Soul Sea!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re a Tier 5, Taking Form, expert now. Why are you saying that my cultivation speed is fast instead?"


    White Light said huffily, "Even though I succeeded in taking form, the strength disparity between us became even greater instead! Forget it, forget it, not talking about this anymore. Big Brother, could it be that you''re not worried at all?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I''m indeed quite worried. Worried that not one of them will return."

 667 A Lis

    "Cough, cough, is Mister Ye around?"


    Ye Yuan and White Light were currently chatting when Hu Rong''s embarrassed voice came from outside the door.


    White Light gave Ye Yuan an odd look. Very clearly, Ye Yuan''s prophecy had, unfortunately, came true once again.


    "Come in," Ye Yuan did not seem to be very surprised and said nonchalantly.


    After Hu Rong entered, his entire person was somewhat bashful and his gaze dodging non-stop, not daring to look straight at Ye Yuan. His face was even somewhat burning.


    A late-stage Tier 6 powerhouse was rather like a girl, shy to meet people at this time, making people''s jaws drop.


    After entering, Hu Rong did not speak. Ye Yuan naturally would not open his mouth first either. For a moment, the atmosphere became quite awkward.


    Finally, it was still Hu Rong who could not endure this awkward atmosphere and broke the silence, "I wonder if . . . Mister Ye has any ways to be able to capture the Azure Spirit Tree?"


    Uttering this sentence was equivalent to admitting his mistake from before.


    A Tier 6 powerhouse lowering his head to a Tier 4 martial artist. This was not a scene that should appear under normal circumstances.


    Evidently, Hu Rong was already utterly helpless about the Azure Spirit Tree.


    The Azure Spirit Tree''s might far surpassed his imaginations. It was no wonder that Lord Hu Yan also suffered a huge loss at his hands.


    Ye Yuan took a look at Hu Yan and said coolly, "You should remember the words that I said before, right?"


    Hu Rong''s face revealed a struggling look. The function of the Azure Spirit Tree was not just able to treat Hu Yan''s wounds.


    Otherwise, why would Hu Yan expend such a great price to capture him back then?


    The Azure Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spirit wood. The wood essence power was incomparably powerful.


    Wood-attribute''s cardinal characteristic was life. Regardless of whether it was for humans or demonic beasts, it had immensely beneficial aspects.


    And the Azure Spirit Tree was even different from ordinary spirit woods. It had extremely great nourishing effects on martial artists'' divine soul.


    Tier 6 breaking through to Tier 7, there was a massive barrier!


    That was the huge bottleneck from the middle three realms breaking through to the upper three realms. Regardless of whether human or demon, there were countless people stopped by this barrier.


    This degree of difficulty was much, much harder compared to the difficulty of Sea Transformation Realm breaking through to Soul Sea Realm.


    And the crux of breaking through this step was the divine soul!


    Therefore, Hu Yan wanting to catch the Azure Spirit Tree back then was surely in order to break through to Tier 7!


    It was just that he never expected that the Azure Spirit Tree''s strength was so formidable. It could truly be called tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.


    This point, Hu Rong was definitely aware as well.


    Hence, to make him give up on the Azure Spirit Tree, he really could not do it.


    "This . . . Can Mister Ye change to another condition? The Azure Spirit Tree has immense significance to my clan, and we really can''t yield. Mister Ye can state other terms. Even if the price is equal to the Azure Spirit Tree, it''s fine," Hu Rong said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard and said, "The Azure Spirit Tree is useless to me. But it''s a life-saving item to a friend of mine. If you all insist on the Azure Spirit Tree, then think of a way yourself."


    Towards Hu Rong''s attitude, Ye Yuan was not concerned.


    Even the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was powerless. The Darkfiend Tiger Clan already had no other tricks left to play. Hence, he was not worried about Hu Rong refusing to give in.


    As long as he did not make a move, Hu Rong could forget about getting the Azure Spirit Tree.


    Hu Rong was incredibly aggrieved right now. He very much wanted to subdue Ye Yuan and force him to go capture the Azure Spirit Tree.


    But White Light''s existence made him very wary.


    White Light''s strength was not powerful. But his bloodline was too noble!


    To their Darkfiend Tiger Clan, White Light''s identity was not much different from their master.


    And what made Hu Rong most fearful was about what happened that day when he accompanied White Light together to the outer-regions of the Dark Forest.


    When White Light went near the Dark Forest, that aura emitting off of his body actually echoed together with the Dark Forest across a great distance!


    Furthermore, White Light himself did not know that there were no demons in the God Prohibited Demon Region who dared to walk so near like him at all!


    To say that White Light did not have any relations with inside there at all, Hu Rong would not believe even if he was beaten to death!


    Losing the Azure Spirit Tree, Hu Yan would only lose the chance to become Tier 7.


    But if any mishap happened to White Light, his Darkfiend Tiger Clan would probably be at risk of clan extermination!


    To divine beast progenies, they, these lesser clans with impure bloodlines, were existences that could be blotted out at will.


    This point was determined from before they were born!


    If not for this case, even if the Tiger Lord appeared, on what basis should he, Hu Rong, be so respectful towards a junior?


    Divine beast progenies were born proud!


    "This . . . Alright then! But you must promise me to treat Big Brother Hu Yan''s injuries!"


    Struggling for a long time, Hu Rong still made this difficult decision.


    Because he discovered that he could not do anything to this Tier 4 brat at all.


    His background was too tough!


    Ownself possessing terrifying dragon race bloodline, even pummeling the Dragon Lord to a pig''s head, and was even a life-or-death good brother of Tiger Lord, His Excellency.


    Such a person, who among the demon clans dared to provoke?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Rest assured about that. The Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid will naturally distribute to you guys some."


    Hu Rong felt his flesh hurt as he nodded and said, "Alright, deal!"


    "Hang on, I never said deal. Did you forget the words that I said before?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Hu Rong froze and could not help recalling Ye Yuan''s words the last time. His expression became even uglier.


    Ye Yuan said that if they came to find him again, he would raise the price!


    "This . . . Mister Ye, you and Lord Tiger Lord are life-and-death good brothers and are also considered the tiger clan''s honored guest. We already plotted for as long as ten years for the sake of this Azure Spirit Tree! Losing the Azure Spirit Tree is already a great loss of vitality to our tiger clan. If you list any more conditions. . ."


    Hu Rong showed a difficult look but turned his imploring gaze towards White Light.


    White Light said huffily, "You, this fellow, are really forgetful! That day when you wanted to be detrimental to Big Brother, what did I warn you?"


    Hu Rong could not help sweating profusely when he heard, secretly protesting against the injustice in his heart.


    Not that I wished to provoke this great deity, but he demanded an exorbitant price!


    Moreover, the tiger clan plotted for ten years for the Azure Spirit Tree. How could he possibly give up hope without giving it a shot?


    Ye Yuan said, "On account of White Light''s face, I won''t make things difficult for you. This is a spirit medicine list. You take it and help me prepare it will do."


    Hu Rong was overjoyed when he heard and said, "Just preparing some spirit medicines? My tiger clan still has some forces in the God Prohibited Demon Region. Preparing some spirit medicines is naturally nothing difficult."


    Ye Yuan just smiled. After Hu Rong checked the list, the smile on his face instantly became stiff.


    The spirit medicines on the list had a large stack written densely. Among them even had quite a number that he had not even heard of the names before.


    Some were Tier 5 spirit medicines, some were Tier 6 spirit medicines. Moreover, the quantity asked for was quite a bit.


    This . . . This was simply robbery!


    "What? Just now, you were still saying that it''s nothing difficult. Regretting so fast?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    Hu Rong wished that he could give himself a tight slap. Clearly aware that this boy was a great robber, why did he still brag?


    Now, it was great. He could not smack his own mouth, right?


    Furthermore, with this boy''s personality, if he refused, he might even do something!


    "H-Haha, n-no problem. I . . . I''ll do my best to prepare!" Hu Rong said with an awkward look.

 668 Because Ism Handsome

    Ye Yuan''s temper was like this.


    Other people give him a unit of respect, he would return them ten.


    If Hu Rong did not repeatedly make things difficult for him back then, not only would he not put Hu Rong in an awkward situation right now, he would even give Hu Yan a pointer or two after treating him to help him break through to Tier 7.


    But now, everything was naturally off the table.


    Actually, what Ye Yuan made Hu Rong prepare was primarily still the spirit medicines to refine the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill.


    Even though Ye Yuan had obtained the Iceheart Tranquil Lotus, the spirit medicines needed for the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill was very rare. Ye Yuan had not managed to gather them up.


    As it happened, making use of this chance, Ye Yuan could gather up these spirit medicines in the tiger clan and extort a sum while he was at it. Where was the sense in not doing this?


    But Ye Yuan did not go to capture the Azure Spirit Tree right away. He waited for Hu Rong and asked for another large amount of materials, and only exited seclusion after fiddling around alone in his room for two days.


    Upon leaving seclusion, Ye Yuan discovered a large group of people surrounding his entrance. They were all Tier 6 experts.


    Very clearly, these Darkfiend Tiger Clan members were all waiting for him to go to the spirit vein together to catch the Azure Spirit Tree. Furthermore, quite a number of them were still carrying injuries on them. It was clearly caused by catching the Azure Spirit Tree the last time.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "No need for so many people. All rest at home. Hu Rong, you bring three to five people along will do."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not care about everyone''s reactions either, bringing White Light along and left right away.


    Hu Rong was helpless and could only pick out a few clansmen whose strength were the strongest and followed after.


    The party came to the spirit vein area once more. The scene before their eyes involuntarily made their expressions change drastically.


    The Azure Spirit Tree was surrounded by a magnificent azure light, attacking the grand array non-stop.


    Under the Azure Spirit Tree''s attacks, the grand array actually had a feeling of teetering on edge!


    This Azure Spirit Tree''s strength was actually daunting to such an extent already!


    Hu Rong and the others all sucked in a cold breath. Recalling the scene that day, they still had some lingering fear.


    "Heh, looks like this Azure Spirit Tree is already just a step away from breaking through. The might of his strength is likely much more daunting than even peak Tier 6! If not for the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array having restraining effects on him, a mere peak Tier 6 grand array would likely still be powerless against him. Even so, this grand array can''t sustain for much longer too," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The few people by the side looked at him like looking at a monster. This fellow was really calm!


    One had to know that Ye Yuan himself was merely just Tier 6. Facing the peak Tier 6 Azure Spirit Tree, he actually did not reveal the slightest hint of fear. Did this fellow not care about anything?


    To face such a spectacle and keep a straight face, other than not caring about anything, it could only be that his own strength was already powerful until there was no need to fear.


    Ye Yuan''s understanding towards these heaven and earth spiritual objects was entirely not what the Darkfiend Tiger Clan people could imagine. In the entire Divine Realm, no one was worthy of being placed alongside him too!


    His knowledge and experience in the field of alchemy were not just limited to those low-ranking medicinal herbs.


    "Mister Ye, quickly take action! I''m afraid that the grand array almost can''t hold on anymore!" Hu Rong could not refrain from urging.


    The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was already tottering on the verge of collapse and could be breached by the Azure Spirit Tree at any time. How could Hu Rong still be in the mood to listen to Ye Yuan sigh with admiration at the Azure Spirit Tree''s might here?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and casually pulled out a small bottle. In the bottle was some powder-like stuff.


    "Sprinkle this powder on your bodies. Those vines naturally won''t come and harass you guys." Ye Yuan said.


    "Is . . . Is this reliable?"


    A Darkfiend Tiger Clan member looked at the powder in the small bottle with a face full of disbelief.


    He had witnessed the prowess of those vines. Even a Tier 6 power like him could not resist. A tiny bottle of powder could shield against those vines?


    Wasn''t this joke a little too big as well?


    Ye Yuan darted him a nonchalant glance and said, "If you''re self-confident in being able to avoid those vines, you can choose not to sprinkle. Don''t blame me for not warning you. Those vines can secrete poison which can damage the divine soul. Once tangled up, it is a certain death."


    The few people''s expressions all changed when they heard. They really did not know that these vines were actually able to secrete poison.


    Wasn''t this Azure Spirit Tree able to secrete Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid? Why was it able to secrete poison still?


    But Hu Rong''s expression became apprehensive and he said, "No wonder! No wonder! After Big Brother Hu Yan returned, he became dispirited and inert, and could not even speak. Turns out that he was actually inflicted by this Azure Spirit Tree''s poison!"


    Back then, after Hu Yan came back, he only said a few words, "Catch Azure Spirit Tree! Save me!"


    Ever since then, he never woke up again either.


    However, when the shamans in the clan inspected Hu Yan''s body, they could not find the reason at all. They only knew that Hu Yan''s divine soul was low-spirited and inert. Clearly, he had suffered very severe injuries.


    Only with no other alternatives did the tiger clan lay down the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array, planning on catching the Azure Spirit Tree in one stroke. Who knew that it still fell short of success at the last stage.


    Ye Yuan said, "How can this sort of heaven and earth spiritual object possibly not have any ace-in-the-hole measures? The poison of the Azure Spirit Tree is named Traceless Soul Poison. It specifically targets the divine soul. Using ordinary methods simply can''t detect it. Once the Azure Spirit Tree reaches the borders of life and death, it''s able to force the Traceless Soul Poison out of its body and let the air be filled with this toxin everywhere. This toxin has no color or smell and is extremely hard to be on guard for. Presumably, Clan Head Hu Yan must have forced it into a crisis back then. As a result, he fell into the trap himself instead."


    Even though Ye Yuan had never met Hu Yan, he had surmises about his illness long ago.


    Hearing Hu Rong said so at this time, it was naturally not far off.


    This Traceless Soul Poison was the trump card means of the Azure Spirit Tree. It was extremely formidable. If one was unfamiliar with the Azure Spirit Tree, it was very easy to succumb to the move.


    But this sort of heaven and earth spiritual objects were extremely rare to begin with. How many really understood it?


    However, Ye Yuan also knew that once the Azure Spirit Tree forced the Traceless Soul Poison out of its body, it''s strength would also be greatly diminished.


    Fortunately, this place was a wood-attribute spirit vein. At present, not only did the Azure Spirit Tree''s strength recover to its peak state, it even advanced a step further!


    Now, if that Hu Yan came again, the Azure Spirit Tree would not need to employ this trump card move at all.


    The few people were all taken aback with shock after listening to Ye Yuan''s words.


    This Azure Spirit Tree was really not easy to deal with!


    If the Azure Spirit Tree also used this move on that day, none of them would be able to escape, and all would have to die here.


    Fortunately, their strength was not strong enough and could not force the Azure Spirit Tree to use its ultimate move at all.


    "That''s all I have. Up to you all to sprinkle. The grand array can''t hold on much longer already. I don''t have the time to waste with you guys. If you guys still don''t make a move, I''m going to go in myself!'' Ye Yuan said impatiently.


    Hu Rong knew that this little lord was not to be provoked and instructed with a solemn face, "Tell you all to sprinkle, then sprinkle. What''s with all the crap?"


    After the few people heard Ye Yuan''s words, they had an even deeper understanding towards the Azure Spirit Tree''s might. But it was precisely because so that they were even less confident in this powder of Ye Yuan''s.


    But with Hu Rong''s order, they could only act accordingly and scattered quite a bit of powder on their own bodies.


    The powder carried an intensely pungent smell, making them feel dizzy and their eyes blurry for a while.


    "This powder is poisonous, but the toxicity isn''t high. Just get used to it for a while will do. You all don''t circulate your powers to force the poison out. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"


    These people were just about to circulate their skills to force the poison out when Ye Yuan''s words arrived already.


    Hu Rong''s expression flickered incessantly as he said, "Why . . . why are you perfectly fine?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said coolly, "Because I''m handsome!"

 669 Battling the Azure Spirit Tree

    Ye Yuan was good-looking, but it was definitely not because he was good-looking that there was no reaction.


    But Ye Yuan naturally would not tell them about the matter of him possessing the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. This bit of poison was not considered much to Tier 6 experts. Endure a bit, and it would pass.


    It was just that they still held a distrustful attitude towards the effects of this powder. When they entered the grand array, each and every one of them was standing by with their full power, fearful of those vines intertwining over towards them.


    But Ye Yuan walked very confidently, swaggering his way into the grand array.


    When they approached the Azure Spirit Tree, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan members discovered that not only did those vines not harass then, they avoided like the plague instead.


    Seeing this scene, these few people finally knew that Ye Yuan was not bragging.


    He had genuine ability!


    No wonder a Tier 4 boy dared to boast shamelessly and came to capture the Azure Spirit Tree. Just a tiny bottle of power resolved the thing which gave them, these Tier 6 experts, a huge headache.


    "Big Brother, this power of yours is really magical. Those vines actually really ignored us!" White Light clicked his tongue in wonder too.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Myriad things in the world reinforce and counteract each other. It''s true that this Azure Spirit Tree is formidable. But there are some things that he is fearful of. This powder was refined and formed with Deer Birth Grass as the lead and mixing together some other materials. Its name is Deer Birth Powder, precisely one of the things that the Azure Spirit Tree dreads. The Deer Birth Grass''s rank isn''t high; it is just Tier 5. But once its toxins enter the Azure Spirit Tree, it will be like a plague, curbing the wood essence power in his body. These vines are all the Azure Spirit Tree''s children bodies and are naturally very fearful towards the scent of the Deer Birth Powder."


    Hu Rong and the clansmen were all dazed from listening by the side. Didn''t this Ye Yuan understand the Azure Spirit Tree a little too much?


    The logic of myriad things in the world reinforcing and counteracting each other, anybody understood. But who could know the natural enemy of the Azure Spirit Tree, this sort of seldom-seen object?


    Could this boy be a living dictionary?


    White Light extended his thumb and sighed with admiration, "Big Brother is Big Brother! Really impressive!"


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, "Is this your first day knowing me? What does this small thing count as?"


    Hu Rong and the clansmen exchanged glances, all feeling very speechless.


    The matter than the tiger clan set up for ten years and did not settle, Ye Yuan got it done with a bottle of powder. This also did not count as much?


    Then what kind of thing could be considered remarkable in Ye Yuan''s eyes?


    "Almost approaching the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body already. You all be a little careful. This stretch of spirit vein is already completely occupied by the Azure Spirit Tree. His tentacles can extend to every corner. In a while, you guys help me to tie down these children bodies. I''ll deal with the main body," Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "You deal with the main body?" Hu Rong''s eyes turned into wide-saucers, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    Hu Rong knew that Ye Yuan''s capabilities was not small and should be able to restrain a very large portion of the Azure Spirit Tree''s energy.


    But according to Hu Rong''s envisage, the main attack still needed him to carry out. After all, Ye Yuan''s strength was too meager.


    But what the hell was going on now? Why was it the other way round from his envisage?


    "I wanted to let you go. But are you his match? The Azure Spirit Tree is attacking the grand array with all its strength right now. These children bodies are relying completely on instincts to act. Once the main body comes back to its senses, it''s also useless no matter how powerful this Deer Birth Powder is," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Hu Rong was rendered speechless by the question. He did not have the slightest strength to counterattack in front of the Azure Spirit Tree at all.


    "Alright, don''t waste any more time. In a while, the bigger the commotion you all stir up, the better. Draw his attention and leave the rest to me."


    "Big Brother, you be careful!" White Light said concernedly.


    "En. Relax, I''ll be fine."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped, approaching towards the Azure Spirit Tree''s body with extreme speed.


    With this, Hu Rong and the rest were not as relaxed as before anymore. Each one of them heightened their vigilance akin to facing a great enemy.


    Ye Yuan''s swift approach finally startled the Azure Spirit Tree!


    But the Azure Spirit Tree did not pay much attention to Ye Yuan. It just sent all of the vines to intertwine over towards Ye Yuan, while it itself continued attacking the grand array.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan this Tier 4 brat, was also not much different from ants.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s Concept of Wind Flow was released fully, avoiding those vines extremely dexterously, and still headed towards the Azure Spirit Tree at high speed.


    By the time the Azure Spirit Tree reacted, Ye Yuan was less than a thousand feet away from the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body.


    A thousand feet''s distance was merely a blink of an eye to the present Ye Yuan.


    With this, the Azure Spirit Tree finally took this ant-like Ye Yuan seriously and ceased attacking the grand array. It placed its focus on Ye Yuan.


    With the Azure Spirit Tree shifting his focus here, the grand array finally got a breather and directly suppressed the Azure Spirit Tree''s azure light down a lot.


    Even so, with the Azure Spirit Tree''s strength, it was still plenty to deal with Ye Yuan!


    It was only to see the main body radiate a brilliant azure light once more. After that, countless vines tore out of the ground, flooding the entire stretch of space.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s movement technique was at the zenith, it was also impossible to charge over in a place without gaps.


    In front of Ye Yuan right now was like a high wall. No matter how it strove, it was also unable to leap over.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. Waving a hand, countless fire lotuses suddenly appeared around him, wrapping Ye Yuan up tightly.


    Once those fire lotuses appeared, they burned towards those vines without any hesitation.


    Fiery was already a Tier 5 essence fire at this time. The power of its flames was incomparably daunting.


    Those vines were all the Azure Spirit Tree''s children bodies and also just around Tier 5 strength.


    But in terms of attributes, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus completely restrained those vines!


    It was only to hear crackling sounds coming from those vines. They were burned to ashes by Ye Yuan''s essence fire very quickly.


    But the headache was that this region was the wood-attribute spirit vein. Those vines were completely grass that could not be burned out by a prairie fire, growing again with the spring breeze.


    They grew frenziedly, then they were burned entirely by Fiery without mercy afterward.


    Hu Rong and the others were also terribly busy at this time, tangled in battle with those vines.


    But their few people''s commotions over here was also not as great as what Ye Yuan caused when added up together.


    Even though these few people were all Tier 6 experts, facing such frenziedly growing vines, they were at a loss on what to do as well.


    Originally, the Azure Spirit Tree placed his focus on Hu Rong they all. But at this time, how could he still have the time to bother with Hu Rong, those few people. He directly placed all of his energy on Ye Yuan.


    With this, the vines over on Hu Rong''s side lost control, making the pressure on them lessen abruptly.


    Hu Rong could not help being flabbergasted with his mouth gaping when he saw the huge commotion over at Ye Yuan''s side.


    What he was shocked by was not that Ye Yuan possessed essence fire, but that Ye Yuan''s degree of control towards the essence fire had already reached the acme of perfection!


    Even if ordinary martial artists owned essence fire, they absolutely could not do it to the extent of completely isolating the vine attacks too!


    Furthermore, this place was the wood-attribute spirit vein. Even if ordinary essence fires could stop the vines, it was also impossible to burn them into ashes instantaneously.


    This essence fire was not simple too!


    This young man was really too terrifying!


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s speed was also slowed down by these frenziedly growing vines.


    The distance of a thousand feet was not that easy to rush over.

 670 Spirit Sealing Needle

    Ye Yuan''s footsteps forward were very slow but moved very solidly.


    On this stretch of spirit vein, the Azure Spirit Tree''s wood essence power was virtually limitless. Hence, it was able to deploy vines to attack Ye Yuan endlessly.


    But Ye Yuan''s essence fire was seemingly limitless too. No matter how many came, Ye Yuan could still burn it all away!


    Utilizing essence fire to this sort of degree, Ye Yuan''s essence energy expenditure was also extremely rapid.


    But coming here this time, Ye Yuan made ample preparations and replenished quite a number of medicinal pills.


    At this time, he was downing pills crazily; there was no worry about essence energy drying up.


    At this time, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s powerful purifying power was manifested beyond all doubt!


    Those incomparably sturdy vines were directly burned cleanly by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. This speed of burning was absolutely much more powerful than ordinary Tier 5 essence fires.


    Fiery gave birth to intelligence after evolving. The power of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame naturally became much stronger compared to ordinary Tier 5 essence fires too.


    This was, for instance, a grand array controlled consciously by people versus operating automatically. The power was absolutely different.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan crossed a distance of 500 feet and was increasingly closer to the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body!


    All of a sudden, the Azure Spirit Tree vines around Ye Yuan retreated like tidewater. Looks like it was thoroughly frightened by Ye Yuan.


    Over at Hu Rong''s side, the pressure was reduced tremendously now. Seeing this scene, he could not help being overjoyed.


    Looks like the Azure Spirit Tree could not hold on anymore!


    This Ye Yuan was truly incomparably formidable, to actually be able to kill until the Azure Spirit Tree threw away its helmet and coat of mail!


    "Lord Hu Rong, what''s he doing? Why isn''t he moving?"


    "Yeah. Such an opportune chance, how can one let it slip by?"


    After the vines retreated, Ye Yuan did not continue the triumphant pursuit. Previously, he was still advancing forward. But at this time, he stopped completely, making the Darkfiend Tiger Clan members all very puzzled.


    "You pig heads! The Azure Spirit Tree is a peak Tier 6 spirit wood. How can it be so easy to deal with? Shut your mouths and stir up a bigger commotion. Make the Azure Spirit Tree get a little more distracted, and you''ll all have rendered merits!" White Light suddenly roared.


    White Light''s speed was extremely quick. Shuttling back and forth between the vines was accomplished with ease. Those vines could not catch his figure at all.


    Hu Rong''s and the others'' hearts tightened when they heard this. The strength in their hands increased a few more parts.


    They all understood that it had reached a critical moment at this time and must go all-out!


    Ye Yuan stood there without moving a muscle, but not that he did not do anything.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan''s pressure currently was even greater than before!


    Only Ye Yuan knew that the Azure Spirit Tree''s most powerful aspect was not those pestering vines, but the divine soul attack which was as elusive as a ghost!


    The Azure Spirit Tree to martial artists was like a piece of rare treasure. Because it could nourish the martial artist''s divine soul, helping the martial artist to break through realms!


    But likewise, the Azure Spirit Tree regarding divine soul attacks was similarly incomparably daunting too.


    Disregarding the Traceless Soul Poison which Hu Yan was inflicted with, the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body could even secrete a type of colorless, scentless, and formless substance, which specifically attacked the martial artist''s divine soul.


    This sort of means was kind of similar to human martial artists'' divine soul mystic art, but also somewhat different.


    Because the Azure Spirit Tree had no divine soul. This sort of attack method, it was just born with it.


    But this kind of attack method was even harder to defend than divine soul attacks, let alone that this Azure Spirit Tree in front of him was a Tier 6 existence.


    Ye Yuan was in full gear at this time, fully immersed in the Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm!


    Any trace of undulation in the surroundings was unable to escape his perception!


    "Coming!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry, his figure suddenly vanishing from sight!


    With Ye Yuan''s current soul force. He was unable to withstand this kind of attack at all. So he could only evade.


    Regarding those golden characters and the black bead, Ye Yuan seriously did not have much confidence.


    Attack missed target every time, the Azure Spirit Tree unleashed frenzied attacks.


    Ye Yuan''s Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art was unleashed to the limits, continuously moving in a wide area, avoiding the Azure Spirit Tree''s attacks.


    But Ye Yuan was not fleeing in disorder aimlessly. He was advancing forward in a roundabout manner consciously!


    This point, probably even the Azure Spirit Tree did not notice.


    The Azure Spirit Tree was not only a heaven and earth spiritual object, but also an object without intellect. It was just that it had clearly already unlocked wisdom cultivating until now. Furthermore, its intellect was rather high.


    Hu Rong they all activated the grand array wanting to trap the Azure Spirit Tree, but was schemed and ambushed by the Azure Spirit Tree instead, and nearly got completely annihilated.


    From this point, one could tell how high the Azure Spirit Tree''s intelligence was.


    It discovered to its dismay at this time that the ant which it looked down on the most actually really had the strength to threaten it!!


    This time, the Azure Spirit Tree really became anxious!


    All of a sudden, the Azure Spirit Tree stopped the divine soul attacks towards Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, some faintly perceptible things seemed to have started brewing in the air.


    "Now is the time!"


    Ye Yuan had grasped the timing long ago. Right when the Azure Spirit Tree was about to release its final ultimate move, throwing the Traceless Soul Poison into the air, Ye Yuan stimulated his speed to the limits!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan activated the Kun Peng bloodline in his body frenziedly. Coupled with the Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art, his speed immediately surged immensely!


    In practically a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan arrived near the front of the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body!


    It was not certain when, Ye Yuan had an additional dozen over silver needles in his hands. He fired them into the positions of the Azure Spirit Tree''s roots without hesitation at this time.


    "Huff, huff, huff . . ."


    Hu Rong and and the others all suddenly panted heavily for air.


    Right then, their scalps all tingled. An extremely dangerous aura came from the air, making each and every one of them hold their breaths.


    But this dangerous aura vanished without a trace under Ye Yuan''s dozen over silver needles.


    Hu Rong looked towards that back view in the distance, his gaze filled with fear.


    This young man was too powerful!


    The Azure Spirit Tree which made the entire tiger clan wring their hands in dismay was actually locked down by him just like this!


    "Lord Hu Rong, the Azure . . . Azure Spirit Tree got captured?" A clansman asked rather disbelievingly.


    Hu Rong nodded his head solemnly and said, "Definitely so! If he weren''t caught, we would already be dead men just now!"


    "Don''t need to doubt it! Big Brother said that he could capture him, means he definitely can capture!" White Light had a proud look like this Azure Spirit Tree was caught by him.


    Hu Rong and the others came close. Seeing the few silver needles inserted in the tree roots area, they could not help marveling, "Really hard to imagine that such a great towering tree was actually locked down by a few tiny little silver needles!"


    Just as they were speaking, this massive tree that towered into the clouds actually shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming a small tree the size of the rim of a bowl very quickly.


    "The Azure Spirit Tree cultivating to this sort of level, changing size is naturally as easy as overturning one''s hands. He got hit by my Spirit Sealing Needle. The wood essence power within his body is already hard to be maneuvered," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "If not for seeing with my own eyes, I really wouldn''t dare to believe that a peak Tier 6 Azure Spirit Tree was actually subdued by a Tier 4 youth!" Hu Rong sighed with admiration.


    He could be said to have his horizons broadened today. The Azure Spirit Tree which even Clan Head Hu Yan could do nothing about was actually defeated at Ye Yuan''s hands just like that.


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak when his expression changed greatly!


    A terrifying aura arrived close from far away in a blink, heading towards them.


    That speed was inconceivably swift!

 671 The Oriole Behind

    "White Light, quickly retreat!"


    Without time to think much at all, Ye Yuan''s figure retreated explosively.


    White Light''s reaction was not slow either, following Ye Yuan and retreating.


    Very clearly, that person''s target was the Azure Spirit Tree!


    The person''s strength was too strong. Hu Rong and the others did not dare to clash head-on with him either, and they also chose to yield one after another.


    In front of the Azure Spirit Tree, a figure gradually emerged. When Hu Rong and the others saw the arrival, their faces all changed greatly.


    "Hahaha! It''s been hard on the few of you! This gift isn''t bad! I''ll accept it," the person said with a big laugh.


    "Peng Tian! You''re so despicable!" Hu Rong simmered with anger.


    The arrival was none other than precisely the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s Clan Head, Peng Tian!


    This fellow was actually lurking nearby the entire time. After waiting for Ye Yuan they all to succeed, he then seized the Azure Spirit Tree with a momentum as forceful as a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering the ears!


    Peng Tian said with a delighted look, "Despicable? Spiritual objects under the heavens, fated ones get it! Very clearly, you guys aren''t that fated one!"


    As he said this, his gaze actually looked towards Ye Yuan and said, "Boy, you really didn''t let me down. To actually really restrain the Azure Spirit Tree! But you never would have thought that your actions would become other people''s wedding dress, right? Hahaha!"


    Talking about how he was pleased with himself, Peng Tian could not resist chortling with laughter.


    Hu Rong and the others, their expressions were indescribably ugly. This Azure Spirit Tree landing in Peng Tian''s hands, Hu Yan would be dead for certain.


    This outcome was what they could not bear.


    Ye Yuan''s face did not have an overly dejected expression, but he asked calmly, "Clan Head Peng Tian, nice scheming. This Ye admires you. I wonder how you knew that I could restrain the Azure Spirit Tree?"


    Peng Tian said delightedly, "I initially wasn''t fully certain either. But the timing that you appeared was too coincidental. Coming to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan at this time, the goal can only be the Azure Spirit Tree. Even though your strength is meager, you''re able to turn something rotten into magical and are bound to have areas surpassing others in. Therefore, I decided to let you give it a try. I didn''t expect that you really succeeded! Even if you didn''t succeed, with the Darkfiend Tiger Clan to be cannon fodders for me isn''t bad as well. Hahaha!"


    Peng Tian had evidently known the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s activities long ago. Yet, the Darkfiend Tiger Clan still pretended to be mysterious. It was simply a joke.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Looks like you sending Peng Hai to the Darkfiend Tiger Clan and satisfying my every request was in order to lower our guard, right? And these few years, you''ve actually long investigated the tiger clan''s situation clearly in the dark. Halting the troops and not moving all along was because you were not confident in dealing with the Azure Spirit Tree, so you wanted to let the tiger clan charge in front to be cannon fodders?"


    Peng Tian said with a loud laugh, "Haha! You, this boy, are too clever! What you said is perfectly accurate! This old man is a figure as famous as Hu Yan in this Dongming Region. How could I not even be a match for Hu Rong, this fool? This fellow fancied himself clever and used all kinds of measures to delude the roc clan, and even thought that his plans were seamless. But he didn''t know that I was just meeting one ruse with another, letting the tiger clan be the scapegoat, that''s all!"


    Hearing Peng Tian''s words, Hu Rong''s expression was indescribably ugly.


    These ten years, he spared no efforts. Who knew that in the end, he actually became a clown!


    Now that it fell just short of complete success, how could he be worthy of Clan Head Hu Yan? Once Peng Tian acquires the Azure Spirit Tree, he was bound to break through to Tier 7.


    At that time, who else could be his match in the entire Dongming Region?


    When his thought reached here, Hu Rong even had the intention to fight to the death!


    If the final outcome was the tiger clan''s destruction, then he, was the entire Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s eternal sinner!


    "Clan Head Peng Tian is indeed impressive. Truly took every conceivable possibility into account! However . . . Peng Yun''s small life, could it be that you don''t care?" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    Peng Tian said with a cold snort, "As long as I break through to Tier 7, what do Yun-er''s injuries count as? Furthermore, do you think that it''s still up to you at this time? Boy, hand over the medicinal pills!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Peng Tian with a smile that wasn''t a smile and said, "If I don''t hand them over?"


    "If you don''t hand them over, you''ll be unable to pray for life nor beg for death!" Peng Tian threatened.


    "Like that huh. Looks like I must hand over no matter what?"


    "Enough nonsense. Quickly hand over!"


    Ye Yuan had a look of helplessness and fished out two medicinal pills from his storage ring. It was precisely those remaining two to treat Peng Yun.


    Peng Tian seeing Ye Yuan submit, his face involuntarily revealed a smug smile and reached his hand out in preparation to receive the medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan raised his hand but did not throw the medicinal pills out. His right hand suddenly clenched in a fist, holding the two medicinal pills in the center of his palm, and kneaded a few times hard.


    Ye Yuan had a smile on his face as he looked at Peng Tian. Slowly opening up his hand, a light breeze blew. Wisps of powder went with the wind.


    Ye Yuan destroyed the medicinal pills just like this.


    Hu Rong and and the others, their expressions changed when they saw the situation and secretly thought to themselves that Ye Yuan was indeed gutsy, to actually dare provoke Peng Tian at this time.


    Peng Tian''s smile froze on his face. The hand that extended out was incomparably awkward, clenching into a fist shape, displaying his fury currently.


    "Fine lad. You dare to fool me?" Peng Tian gnashed his teeth as he said it word by word.


    Ye Yuan smiled unconcernedly and said, "Little Lord, I, have a problem, that is I can be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. If you talk to me nicely, this Little Lord might just give them you if my mood becomes happy. But your attitude makes me very displeased!"


    "Hahaha! It''s really been so long since anybody dared to speak to this clan head like this! Boy, you''re excellent! Since you dare to say so, you probably have some sort of understanding what will happen, right?" Peng Tian laughed out of extreme rage.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look as he said, "Understanding? What understanding? This Little Lord''s, my, understanding is very limited and can''t understand your words."


    "Can''t understand, is it? Then this clan head will let you understand what''s called understanding right now!"


    Finished talking, Peng Tian''s entire person''s aura directly rose to the peak, crushing over towards Ye Yuan in a manner that blotted out the skies and covered the earth.


    The Peng Tian currently was already infuriated to the extreme. The joy of obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree was completely swept away by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    His palm smacked towards Ye Yuan. This palm could topple mountains and overturn the seas during the whole process, displaying the strength of a peak Tier 6 demon completely.


    This palm movement, Peng Tian did not hold back in the slightest. He wanted to crush Ye Yuan into dregs, only then could it get rid of the hatred in his heart.


    Towards Peng Tian''s actions, Ye Yuan seemingly did not see it and did not have the intention of dodging at all.


    Just as Peng Tian''s palm was about to slap out, his scalp tingled all of a sudden. All the pores on his body shuddered. A sense of extreme danger welled up from the bottom of his heart.


    Right then, an even more violent attack arrived with a howl, aiming right at the center of Peng Tian''s back!


    Even though Peng Tian had his back facing this attack, he could feel that this attack could absolutely deal lethal damage to him!


    That aura was even above his!


    How could Peng Tian still care about dealing with Ye Yuan? He immediately pushed his Kun Peng bloodline to the limits, wanting to receive this attack!


    At present, Peng Tian''s greatest reliance was his speed. He wanted to use speed to receive this attack.


    That attack''s speed was exceedingly fast. It arrived at Peng Tian''s back in a blink of an eye.


    But Peng Tian''s reaction speed could not be said to not be fast. His figure had already fuzzily vanished from where he was.


    However, right at this time, a strange force attacked by surprise, and it actually made Peng Tian''s figure stagnate for a tiny bit of time!

 672 Hypocritical Hu Yan

    Rumble!


    This short bit of time was sufficient!


    That attack made it just in time currently, slamming right onto Peng Tian''s back.


    Peng Tian spat out a large mouthful of blood with a cough, his figure flying forward like a kite with a broken string.


    But Ye Yuan did not turn his head to look at Peng Tian''s wretched appearance but looked towards that figure standing beside the Azure Spirit Tree at present.


    There stood a well-built middle-aged man with a full beard on his face, looking awe-inspiring.


    Ye Yuan had yet to speak when Hu Rong and the others cried out in surprise.


    "Big Brother Hu Yan!"


    "Clan Head Hu Yan!"


    "Lord Hu Yan! You . . . You''re alright! That''s really great!"


    This burly middle-aged man was actually the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s Clan Head, Hu Yan!


    This was truly the mantis stalking the cicada, being unaware of the oriole behind!


    Peng Tian never would have dreamed that Hu Yan would actually appear here in perfectly good condition!


    Without Hu Yan, Peng Tian was the Dongming Region''s most powerful existence.


    These ten years, under subtle influence, Peng Tian regarded it this way!


    If not for the sake of obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree, how could he wait patiently until now?


    It was just that this way, the lowering of one''s vigilance with Peng Tian''s thoughts was unavoidable. Especially after obtaining the Azure Spirit Tree, Peng Tian was complacent with success. How could he still take any precaution?


    Therefore, Hu Yan''s sneak attack succeeded!


    Actually, it was not considered a success either. If there weren''t Ye Yuan''s last bit there, even if Peng Tian was injured, it would not be so severe either.


    Ye Yuan did not even need to turn his head back to look and also knew that this blow of Hu Yan''s was absolutely not light. Even if Peng Tian did not die, he absolutely could not crawl with his feet either.


    This fellow''s attack was not an ordinary kind of ruthless.


    Of course, regarding Peng Tian, Ye Yuan did not have much of a favorable impression too, and obviously would not have any compassion towards him.


    Hu Yan said coolly, "Hu Rong, it''s been hard on you these few years."


    Just one sentence, made Hu Rong''s tears flow down his aged face. He felt that the efforts expended these few years were all worth it!


    All along, Hu Yan had been the Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s spiritual pillar. Even when he had no news for ten years, this point did not change either.


    The moment he appeared, Hu Rong felt the heavy load on his shoulders lift off completely. Because Hu Yan was the tiger clan''s backbone.


    "As long as Big Brother Hu Yan is well, what does this bit of hardship count as?" Hu Rong said tearfully.


    Hu Yan gave him an encouraging smile, but his gaze turned towards Ye Yuan.


    "Truly quite interesting. So many Tier 6 experts present all did not detect my existence. You, a puny little Tier 4 martial artist, could actually sense me!" Hu Yan asked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was expressionless and did not have the intention of responding. He perked his spirits up fully too.


    Very clearly, to talk about the most scheming person, it was none other than Hu Yan.


    Peng Tian was not some individual with an undeserved reputation but was played by Hu Yan in the palm of his hands. He lacked power far too much.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that Hu Yan''s strength seemed to be even above Peng Tian''s; already touching the threshold of Tier 7.


    Under the circumstances where his strength was stronger than the other party and still waited patiently the entire time until now, waiting for when Peng Tian''s guard was at the lowest to make a move, the depth of his schemes could be seen at a glance.


    Towards such a person, Ye Yuan had no choice but to take precaution. Maybe he was still laughing and talking with you the previous moment, and the next instant, he would suddenly deal a killing move.


    Such a person, Ye Yuan did not feel that White Light could ensure his safety.


    But Ye Yuan had indeed discovered Hu Yan''s existence long ago. Ignoring his divine soul being powerful, being under Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm all along just now, everything in his surroundings was fully grasped under control.


    Even though Hu Yan hid very covertly that even Peng Tian did not detect, Ye Yuan had long perceived that there was a very powerful existence in the vicinity.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s vigilant appearance, Hu Yan smiled and said, "Relax a little. No need to be so nervous. You''re Tiger Lord''s good brother, so naturally my Darkfiend Tiger Clan''s friend too. To be able to capture the Azure Spirit Tree today, it was all thanks to you as well."


    The meaning in Hu Yan''s words was actually wanting to directly take the Azure Spirit Tree for his own and did not have the intention of seeking Ye Yuan''s opinion at all.


    Ye Yuan was not surprised. Hu Yan had schemed for so many years. Wasn''t the objective for the sake of the Azure Spirit Tree?


    For him to hand over the Azure Spirit Tree without misgivings, that was obviously impossible.


    "I''m very curious though. According to Hu Rong''s description, you should have been hit by the Traceless Soul Poison at that time. But looking at your appearance, not only did your divine soul not deteriorate, your strength advanced a step further instead. Could it be that you only acted out a show for your clansmen to see back then, and the goal was in order to implicate Peng Tian inside, to let him spearhead the attack for you?" Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said.


    Hu Yan did not have much of a surprised look on his face when he heard. But a gleam of cold light flashed past his eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s words had some ulterior motives. They were clearly to drive a wedge on the relationship between him and his clansmen.


    Indeed, after Hu Rong and the others heard Ye Yuan''s words, their faces all changed, revealing a complicated look on their faces.


    "Your words are only half correct. I did indeed plan on making Peng Tian spearhead the attack for me. But I had also indeed been hit by the Traceless Soul Poison back then. It''s just that I myself didn''t expect either that not only did I pull through, my strength even advanced a step further because of the Traceless Soul Poison''s persecution. This process lasted for roughly four year''s time. In these four years, I was suffering the tormenting agony of the divine soul daily. It could be said to be days of darkness without sun." Hu Yan explained.


    Hearing Hu Yan''s explanation, Hu Rong and the rest revealed expressions of relief very quickly.


    "Clan Head Hu Yan, it was all us who were incapable and had no way to help you!"


    "Yeah. We used ten year''s time to lay down the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array. Didn''t expect that in the end, we were still not the Azure Spirit Tree''s match."


    "Big Brother Hu Yan, I . . ."


    After a round of words, Hu Rong and the rest all condemned themselves deeply.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly in his heart.


    This fellow''s methods to win people''s hearts was unexpectedly impressive.


    It was just that Hu Yan''s words, Ye Yuan would not believe even if he was beaten to death.


    It might be true that Hu Yan got inflicted by the poison. But it was definitely not as severe as imagined.


    The prowess of the Traceless Soul Poison, Ye Yuan was perfectly clear. Even if Hu Yan were a Tier 6 powerhouse, if he were poisoned thoroughly, he would not be able to hold on either.


    Spending four years living in darkness without light, these words could only hoodwink Hu Rong, these naive rookies.


    The only explanation was that Hu Yan was not poisoned deeply. Even though small quantities of Traceless Soul Poison was powerful, Hu Yan advancing a step further because of this turning point was instead something that happened without extra effort.


    If it were really like he had said, Hu Yan would have croaked long ago!


    But Ye Yuan did not plan on exposing Hu Yan. Because he knew that this was without meaning at all.


    This sowing of discord that he used just now, the goal was just to take a look at Hu Yan''s character.


    As expected, very hypocritical!


    "No matter. You guys have already done well enough! Your hard work these few years, I''ve taken it all into sight. Really, thank everybody so much. Alright, this isn''t the place to talk. Let''s talk again after returning to the clan."


    As Hu Yan said, he was just about to go collect the Azure Spirit Tree.


    But Ye Yuan yelled out untimely, "Clan Head Hu Yan is really not courteous! Hu Rong and I had an agreement long ago. This Azure Spirit Tree belongs to me. Don''t tell me that you don''t know this arrangement!"

 673 Entangled in Ones Own Web

    A single sentence, and the atmosphere which had just eased up immediately became dangerously explosive again.


    Ye Yuan''s words could be said to be touching the sore spot.


    It was just that to Ye Yuan, the Azure Spirit Tree was Yue Mengli''s life-saving item. He was hell-bent on it!


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Hu Yan''s expression turned cold.


    "Young man, I''ve already given you a way out. Are you rejecting face when it''s given here?" Hu Yan said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Heh, given me a way out? Clan Head Hu Yan''s meaning is to renege on the agreement?"


    "So what if reneging on the agreement? Hu Rong isn''t the clan head either. His agreement with you naturally doesn''t count! Furthermore, the time and manpower that my Darkfiend Tiger Clan expended for the Azure Spirit Tree are already incalculable. What right do you have to demand for the Azure Spirit Tree?"


    By the side, White Light seriously could not carry on listening. He reproached, "Hu Yan, you''re really shameless enough! I''ll tell you what right my big brother has to dare ask for the Azure Spirit Tree! Without my big brother taking action, forget that you prepared for ten years, even if you prepared for a hundred years, you could forget about subduing the Azure Spirit Tree too!"


    One sentence, said until Hu Yan was rendered speechless.


    He dared to extort the Azure Spirit Tree was still relying on that his strength was powerful in the end, and he felt that Ye Yuan did not dare to make a sound.


    Yet, once Ye Yuan made a sound, any reason of his had no footing.


    The reason was just as White Light said. This Azure Spirit Tree was subdued by Ye Yuan. It did not have any relation to do with his Darkfiend Tiger Clan at all!


    Even Hu Rong, the few of them, were merely just supporting roles too.


    Hu Yan pulled a long face and said, "Tiger Lord, don''t forget about your identity!"


    The undertone meaning Hu Yan wanted to express in his words was that: you''re a member of the tiger clan. Why are you helping outsiders?


    It was just that White Light''s words just now were already said very nastily. Hu Yan could not very well say bluntly.


    Who knew that White Light suddenly flashed a bright smile and said, "I didn''t forget my identity. I''m my big brother''s good brother! This point will never change till the end of my life!"


    It was true that White Light was from the tiger race. But at his lowest, when he needed help the most, where was the tiger race?


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would have long become the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python''s meal in its abdomen. How could there still be this powerful divine beast progeny, White Light, today?


    It could be said that everything of White Light''s today was all given by Ye Yuan and not the tiger race!


    These few years, White Light and Ye Yuan depended on each other for survival. He had long treated him as his own kin.


    Forget that the Darkfiend Tiger Clan was just a lesser race with thin bloodline, even if the true white tiger race were here, White Light would also choose to stand on Ye Yuan''s side without any hesitation.


    Hu Yan''s expression became increasingly ugly. White Light''s actions were no different from betrayal in his view.


    "Good! Very good! Want the Azure Spirit Tree is it? It''s right here. If you have the capabilities, you guys take it back yourselves!" Hu Yan said with a sneer.


    Finishing off Peng Tian, forget about this stretch of spirit vein, even in the entire Dongming Region, nobody was his match either.


    These two brats in front of him who were still wet behind their ears. Could it be that they could still overturn the heavens?


    "Huhu, are you going to carry on being shameless all the way here?" Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.


    At this time, both parties clearly did not have the possibility of reconciling already.


    The Azure Spirit Tree, both parties were determined to get it.


    "The Azure Spirit Tree was originally my tiger clan''s item. Where''s the talk about being shameless?! Heaven and earth spiritual objects, fated ones get them. If you''re fated with him, you can very well bring it away!"


    Hu Yan had a mocking look. Clearly, he did not feel that Ye Yuan had this capability.


    It was true that Ye Yuan could deal with the Azure Spirit Tree. But that was just a special case. If the opponent changed to him, Hu Yan, Ye Yuan absolutely had no chances of victory.


    If a peak Tier 6 demon could not even beat a Tier 4 brat, he could immediately find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head as if approving of Hu Yan''s words. Who knew that he changed the topic, "On account of White Light''s face, I''ve already been tolerating enough of your Darkfiend Tiger Clan. Civil means before resorting to force. Since you guys don''t know how to appreciate favors, then it can''t be blamed on me either."


    Hu Yan could not refrain from bursting into laughter when he heard these words, "Shameless boasting! What qualifications do you have to say civil means before resorting to force in front of me? What a joke!"


    Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "I''ll tell you right away what qualifications I have to put civil means before resorting to force!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had just faded when an intense tremor suddenly came from under Hu Yan''s foot. Hu Yan''s expression changed abruptly, directly fleeing far away.


    Yet, how could Ye Yuan give him this chance? His Origin Magnetic Field was unleashed instantly!


    The effect of Ye Yuan''s Origin Magnetic Field was next to nothing to peak Tier 6 powerhouses. If it was during an actual battle, it could be ignored entirely.


    However, when two peak Tier 6 experts were facing off, this tiny bit of effect might even have the possibility of becoming the last straw that crushed the camel''s back.


    Previously, Peng Tian falling prey to a plot, fell for this!


    Under Ye Yuan''s Heart Like Monolith heart realm. His grasp regarding timing could be said to be accurate to the pinnacle.


    Bang!


    Countless vines broke out of the earth from beneath the ground and intertwined over towards Hu Yan and Hu Rong they all frenziedly.


    This came too suddenly. Hu Rong they all completely did not expect that the Azure Spirit Tree which was restrained would actually attack once more. Their reactions were a little slow and were bounded up tightly by those innumerable vines instantaneously.


    While Hu Yan was just that little bit sluggish, and both his feet got wrapped around by a vine.


    But Hu Yan''s reaction was also exceedingly quick. He directly chopped off the vine with a palm-hand and fled towards the distance.


    Hu Yan was floating on air when a strange kind of feeling suddenly came from within his body.


    This sort of feeling, he was very familiar. What could it be if not the Traceless Soul Poison?


    The time was very short. He was not poisoned deeply; much lighter than even the last time he got poisoned.


    But being poisoned at this time right now was clearly not any good omen.


    The might of the Azure Spirit Tree, he had experienced profoundly. Being accidentally poisoned again, his chances of winning became even bleaker.


    It was just that he could not figure it out no matter. The Azure Spirit Tree''s main body was clearly restrained by Ye Yuan. How did he break free?


    He already confirmed it earlier. The Azure Spirit Tree''s wood essence power had indeed stopped circulating. Logically speaking, he could not possibly attack again.


    What was this?


    Hu Yan looked towards Ye Yuan with a loathing gaze.


    Although he did not know what trick this punk used, without a doubt, it was him playing tricks!


    Once the Azure Spirit Tree broke free, Hu Yan did not have assurance in dealing with him at all. If he had that capability, how could he possibly wait until now?


    "Boy, consider yourself ruthless! Hope that you don''t land in my hands! We''ll meet again another day!"


    As he said, Hu Yan''s figure moved and was going to escape far away.


    Ye Yuan watched his back view, a hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    Hu Yan''s figure did not escape out very far when a powerful flame force attacked straight towards him.


    Hu Yan''s expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged.


    "What''s the matter? The clan member presiding over the grand array was already killed by Peng Tian. Who''s controlling the grand array to stop me?" Hu Yan''s expression became very ugly.


    "Clan Head Hu Yan, what''s the hurry to leave for? There''s still an old friend here wanting to catch up with you!" Ye Yuan caught up at this time too, saying to Hu Yan with a smile.


    And behind Ye Yuan, apart from White Light, there was youth wearing azure colored shirt standing there. No one knew since when he was there.

 674 Deceiving Everyone

    How could Hu Yan expect that the grand array which the tiger clan set up for ten years actually became his stumbling block?!


    Speaking of which, this was really a situation where a person was getting entangled in one''s own web.


    The Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array was a kind of trapping formation. Trapping formations'' lethality was not great. But under the situation where there were people managing the grand array, wanting to shake off the grand array within a short time was very difficult.


    Around Ye Yuan were all a bunch of Tier 6 experts. How could he possibly not hold some trick in reserve? He did not have the habit of handing his own fate over to other people''s hands.


    As far back as when he entered the grand array, he already controlled the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array in secret. It was just that he did not launch it all along.


    Hence, even if Hu Yan did not appear, Ye Yuan had ample confidence to escape too.


    For this grand array to want to kill Peng Tian was naturally not easy. But under Ye Yuan''s control, for Peng Tian to want to escape was also hard.


    But at this time, Hu Yan''s attention was not placed on Ye Yuan but placed on that azure shirt youth behind him. His expression was indescribably ugly.


    "I didn''t think that the Azure Spirit Tree actually gave birth to a primordial spirit!" Hu Yan said word by word.


    The old friend Ye Yuan talked about was naturally this azure shirt youth.


    And this azure shirt youth was transformed by none other than precisely the Azure Spirit Tree!


    Even Hu Yan also did not expect that the Azure Spirit Tree had actually cultivated out a primordial spirit already and was able to take human form!


    This unforeseen event was what he did not anticipate from start to end.


    Cultivating out a primordial spirit meant that the Azure Spirit Tree''s intelligence did not lose to humans already.


    He was originally a heaven and earth spirit wood, with strength far surpassing same ranks. Now that he had intelligence that did not lose to humans, he was even harder to deal with.


    The gaze that the azure shirt youth looked at Hu Yan with were very unfriendly. Back then, his strength was not as strong as now. It was even slightly inferior to Hu Yan''s.


    If not for him relying on his own powerful Traceless Soul Poison, he would probably have been captured by Hu Yan long ago.


    Even so, the Azure Spirit Tree also cultivated for a very long time on this stretch of spirit vein before recovering.


    This grudge between the two people was a big one.


    "You, this stinking old tiger. Let''s settle this score properly today!" the Azure Spirit Tree said candidly.


    Hu Yan''s expression was rather ugly. He was very fearful of the Azure Spirit Tree. Seeing his hostile look at this time, it was clearly unable to be reconciled today.


    "This . . . Azure Spirit Tree, it was all a misunderstanding between us! Back then, even though I almost caught you, I also nearly perished, my Dao dispersed because of the incident too, isn''t it so? You should know, you''re a heaven and earth spirit wood. Moreover, you have a tremendous effect on us demons breaking through to Tier 7. So the people hankering after you isn''t just me alone. That Peng Tian, wasn''t he like that too? Don''t get hoodwinked by this brat!"


    Hu Yan explained as he wanted to redirect the troubled waters, pointing the spearhead at Ye Yuan.


    He knew that this sort of situation appearing today, they definitely could not dispensed with Ye Yuan''s doing in-between. But to talk about a glib tongue, he was confident that he was not lousy either.


    Furthermore, even though the Azure Spirit Tree gave birth to a primordial spirit, the time was definitely not long. At the very most, it was equivalent to a human teenage youth; very easy to bluff.


    Ye Yuan could deceive the Azure Spirit Tree. He definitely could too.


    Indeed, once the Azure Spirit Tree heard, he could not help turning his head towards Ye Yuan and asked, "Ye Yuan, did you hear that? He says that you''re bluffing me."


    The moment Hu Yan heard that there was a chance, he immediately added embellishment, "Yeah, he must be bluffing you! He''s a human! Humans are much craftier than our demon race! Furthermore, compared to me, he has the strength to threaten you! He wants to make use of you to deal with me right now, then deal with you later! Do you feel that a human can resist the allure of the Azure Spirit Tree? His final goal is definitely still you!"


    The Azure Spirit Tree looked at Ye Yuan and asked, "Ye Yuan, he said that you''re making use of me!"


    Hu Yan originally thought that Ye Yuan would deny it outright. He already prepared a whole bunch of incisive words to vilify Ye Yuan.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan just flashed a brilliant smile and admitted it very scoundrelly, "Haha! Saying it like that isn''t wrong too. I indeed can''t beat him, so I can only rely on you."


    Hu Yan was stunned. His stomach full of words had no place to showcase its skill for a moment and nearly stifled out internal injuries.


    But Hu Yan recovered very quickly and said with an excited look, "You hear, he admitted it himself! Humans, there aren''t any good ones!"


    The Azure Spirit Tree did not take notice of Hu Yan. Looking at Ye Yuan without paying heed to other things, he said, "Ye Yuan, why do you think there''s such a dumb old tiger?"


    Ye Yuan said laughingly, "Some fellows just like to fancy themselves clever. But you should be a little understanding too. After all, when death is at hand, one would always jump around a little."


    The Azure Spirit Tree nodded his head, seemingly approving of Ye Yuan''s words very much, and said, "Alright then. I really can''t understand. He himself is dumb, and even thinks that the entire world is as foolish as him."


    Hu Yan still had an excited look just now. But as he listened, it felt amiss.


    These two people were totally making a fool out of him!


    He talked for so long, and the Azure Spirit Tree did not even listen to a word?


    But why?


    Hu Yan was certain that this was the Azure Spirit Tree''s first time meeting Ye Yuan. On what basis did he trust Ye Yuan so much and feel that Ye Yuan would not be detrimental to him?


    "Alright. The nonsense has already been said enough. I can send you on your way now!" the Azure Spirit Tree said coolly.


    Hu Yan still did not give up hope and yelled loudly to the Azure Spirit Tree, "This boy is clearly harboring ill intentions! Why do you trust him so?"


    The Azure Spirit Tree rolled his eyes and said to him, "I''ve already drawn up a divine soul agreement with Ye Yuan. Stop wasting your energy in vain."


    Hu Yan''s pupils constricted when he heard that, revealing a disbelieving expression. He had been lying in concealment all along nearby and took all of Ye Yuan''s actions into his sights.


    But Ye Yuan actually completed a divine soul contract with the Azure Spirit Tree under his eyes? How was this possible?


    Hu Yan obviously did not know that right from the first glance Ye Yuan saw the Azure Spirit Tree, he knew that he already gave birth to a primordial spirit.


    Since he gave birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan obviously would not use extreme measures to subdue the Azure Spirit Tree.


    Moreover, after Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm, he discovered that there were two very powerful auras lurking nearby.


    If he really subdued the Azure Spirit Tree, wouldn''t he be seeking death himself?


    Therefore, Ye Yuan cast a divine soul mystic art at that time and started communicating with the Azure Spirit Tree.


    Ye Yuan analyzed the current situation for the Azure Spirit Tree to listen, and promised the Azure Spirit Tree that as long as he guarded Yue Mengli for ten years'' time, he would surely aid him to break through to Tier 9!


    This kind of heavy promise, only Ye Yuan dared to make.


    But Ye Yuan was not bragging. The Tier 9 spiritual objects that he had seen before were too many to enumerate. He was also very familiar with the Azure Spirit Tree. Helping him to break through to Tier 9 was not something impossible.


    In order to demonstrate his strength, Ye Yuan used the Spirit Sealing Needle and inserted them into the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body.


    Except, the function of the Spirit Sealing Needle was not to shackle the Azure Spirit Tree''s wood essence power, but to stimulate the Azure Spirit Tree''s potential, to let him absorb the wood essence power on this stretch of spirit vein even faster!


    The wood essence power ceasing revolving was just the Azure Spirit Tree doing it on purpose.


    Ye Yuan and the Azure Spirit Tree joined hands and deceived everybody here!


    [0] Starting now, instead of using ''it'' to refer to the Azure Spirit Tree, we will be using ''he'' as he already took form and have intelligence.

 675 Killing Hu Yan!

    "Heh heh, didn''t think that I, Hu Yan, would actually have a day where I would succumb at the hands of a brat still wet behind his ears!"


    Hu Yan looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with hatred.


    Ten years of forbearance was for the sake of today. Who knew that it would actually fail on the verge of success.


    This disgrace filled his heart with unwillingness!


    "I already warned Hu Rong at the Darkfiend Tiger Clan. No idea if you heard it or not, that is to not provoke my big brother. Because . . . you can''t afford to provoke him at all!" White Light said coldly.


    "You shut your mouth for this old man! A creature that lives off people while secretly helping others! What qualifications do you have to lecture this old man? Don''t think that you''re really something by calling you tiger lord!"


    The current Hu Yan had already lost his reason. How could he still care what identity White Light had?


    But White Light said with a cold smile, "Being cocky in front of this Little Lord? Heh heh, isn''t it just relying on your cultivation realm being a little higher? Do you really think that you''re very impressive? Little Lord, I, will tell you today, in less than three years, this Little Lord will be able to eradicate you with a flip of my hand! It''s just that you can''t wait for that day!"


    White Light was extremely confident in both his cultivation speed and strength. As long as he followed Ye Yuan, killing Hu Yan three years later would be akin to killing a dog.


    But this sort of situation today was already unable to be reconciled. Ye Yuan would not let Hu Yan off.


    Releasing a Tier 6 powerhouse out there was too dangerous.


    Hu Yan naturally knew that White Light was not joking. His bloodline was too powerful. Cultivation was like playing around.


    After White Light arrived at the tiger clan, Hu Yan had observed White Light before and discovered that his cultivation speed was really too terrifying.


    After the shock, Hu Yan was deeply jealous in his heart.


    This was the disparity between bloodline grades. He was unable to make up for it forever.


    Unless he could rely on his own strength to affirm his Dao and become a deity, otherwise, he could only look up to White Light forever.


    And in this world, which demon could still become a divine beast?


    Inferiority complex, unwillingness, envy, resentment, all kinds of negative emotions mingled together. Hu Yan''s entire person was almost exploding.


    He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Even if I can''t wait until that day, I''ll have to exterminate you guys, these two little bastards, today!"


    As he said, Hu Yan directly transformed into a powerful and magnificent large tiger!


    This fellow chose demonic transformation right away!


    After the Azure Spirit Tree took form, it could naturally fight same as humans as well. This made his combat power increase greatly too.


    Seeing Hu Yan demonize at this time, he unleashed a divine soul attack without any hesitation!


    The peak Tier 6 Hu Yan was also not somebody easy to deal with. He could actually judge these attacks accurately and dodge them.


    And Hu Yan''s target was not the Azure Spirit Tree, but the Ye Yuan and White Light opposite!


    Hu Yan was a peak Tier 6 powerhouse. His strength was god knows how many times more powerful than Zhao Tianyin''s.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not care at all facing Hu Yan''s attack.


    Ye Yuan''s current formations path attainments were even more powerful than his previous life. Now that there was a ready-made grand array for him to control, how could it be something that easy for Hu Yan to want to hit Ye Yuan?


    Boom!


    Hu Yan''s formidable attack passed right through Ye Yuan, slamming onto the ground behind Ye Yuan. A large pit appeared immediately.


    Yet, Ye Yuan and White Light were perfectly unscathed.


    While at this time, the Azure Spirit Tree''s attack had arrived once more.


    Only to see him gesture with both hands. Countless vines broke out of the ground and intertwined over towards Hu Yan!


    Hu Yan''s expression changed. He was just thinking of moving when he was caught unawares by the Origin Magnetic Field again.


    In the end, he avoided the entanglement of the vines by a narrow escape repeatedly.


    Hu Yan hated immensely in his heart right now. These two little fellows were clearly right under his noses, but he just could not do anything to them.


    Not just so, that bizarre forcefield was really damnable sometimes.


    Originally, when he ambushed Peng Tian, he did not hope for that attack to be able to cripple Peng Tian.


    At that time, after it went smoothly, he was still very suspicious. Only now did he know that it was actually Ye Yuan who gave him a helping hand back then.


    It was just that Hu Yan could never have thought that this sort of bizarre forcefield would be used on him so soon.


    Ye Yuan looked at Hu Yan from a distance and said smilingly, "Inside the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array, for you to want to kill me, it''s even harder than ascending to heaven. But for the Azure Spirit Tree and me to kill you, it''s effortless! Now, I''ll let you take a look at the Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array''s true power!"


    Hu Yan''s expression could not help changing drastically once he heard. But he had yet to have time to take any action when the grand array was unleashed already!


    Countless flames flooded towards Hu Yan from all directions, directly wrapping him up tightly.


    These flames formed a cage, directly binding Hu Yan up inside!


    How could Hu Yan be willing to submit? Mustering up essence energy fully, he slapped a palm out directly.


    But right at this time, the flame cage similarly burst forth with powerful energy, obliterating Hu Yan''s attack immediately!


    "Stop wasting energy. This flame cage maneuvered the entire grand array''s energy to besiege you alone. For you to want to crack it, without a few days, it simply can''t be done! Therefore, wait to die inside there obediently!" Ye Yuan sentenced Hu Yan''s death penalty very indifferently.


    Hu Yan''s entire person was almost crazy. How could he be willing to believe it? He roared furiously. "Want to trap me to death, no way! Argh . . . !"


    Hu Yan was like a lunatic, unleashing all of his energy, and attacking the flame cage crazily.


    But no matter how he attacked, this flame cage did not budge an inch!


    The words that Ye Yuan said, when did he go back on his words before?


    Ye Yuan looked towards the Azure Spirit Tree and said with a smile, "The rest is up to you!"


    The Azure Spirit Tree had a stomach full of animosity towards Hu Yan. Seeing Hu Yan''s crazed appearance at present, he was euphoric in his heart too.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, he said rather excitedly, "Thanks. This time, count it as I owe you a favor! Otherwise, it would really be rather hard for me to want to kill him!"


    Hu Yan''s cultivation realm was more or less the same as the Azure Spirit Tree''s. Even though the Azure Spirit Tree''s was innately incomparably powerful, if Hu Yan risked everything to escape, wanting to kill him would really not be too easy.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "No need to be courteous. You look at his appearance. He''s bound to want to come and kill me as well. I''m just protecting myself."


    The Azure Spirit Tree was no longer long-winded and directly condensed a powerful divine soul attack!


    "Soul Exterminating Sword!"


    The Azure Spirit Tree condensed an invisible sword that could not be seen with the naked eye at all. Yet, Ye Yuan could sense how terrifying this attack was!


    The moment the invisible sword moved, it pierced through the flame cage instantly, shooting right onto Hu Yan''s divine soul!


    "ARGH!!"


    A miserable cry sounded out.


    Afterward, there was no longer any activity inside the flame cage.


    A fierce and ambitious person of his generation in the Dongming Region died in the end under the partnering-up of the Azure Spirit Tree and Ye Yuan.


    The Azure Spirit Tree looked at Ye Yuan and said, "I really didn''t expect that a puny little Tier 4 human actually possessed such heaven-defying abilities!"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "If I didn''t have heaven-defying abilities, how could I dare to promise to let you break through to Tier 9 too?"


    The Azure Spirit Tree was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately burst into laughter, and said, "Haha! Makes sense! Initially, I was still somewhat doubtful about your words. But now, my misgivings are all gone, and I have unbounded confidence in you instead! Ye Yuan, I hope that you won''t disappoint me!"

 676 Stealthy Kiss

    "Naturally, I won''t let you down! These few days, I''ll use the Spirit Sealing Needle to help you tidy up your meridians and let your speed of absorbing wood essence power increase ten times. This way, you breaking through to Tier 7 would probably be during these few days as well," Ye Yuan said.


    The so-called Spirit Sealing Needle was actually that set of profound artifact gold needles which Ye Yuan brought out from Ren Xingchun''s place.


    It was just that in order to deal with the Azure Spirit Tree, he sanctified it with special means again.


    Azure Spirit Tree could not help being overjoyed when he heard, "Truly?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You already had half a foot stepped into Tier 7 in the first place. Me using the needles now is just pushing the boat along with the current. You don''t need to be so happy. With my current strength, what I can help you with is also just this much."


    The Azure Spirit Tree hurriedly said, "How can I not be happy? I''ve already been stuck at this step for a very long time but did not break through for so long. Once my speed of absorbing wood essence power increases ten times, breaking through the Tier 7 bottleneck will be an effortless matter!"


    Bottlenecks to all cultivators was a hard to surmount chasm.


    Especially from Tier 6 to Tier 7, there was a huge threshold. Even though the Azure Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spirit wood, wanting to cross this hurdle was also absolutely not something that easy.


    The Azure Spirit Tree''s cultivation could be calculated in units of centuries.


    Don''t look at how the Azure Spirit Tree was just a half-grown child appearance. Actually, he was totally an old tree demon!


    It was just that the time he gave birth to a primordial spirit was not long, so his mind was not very mature.


    Absorbing wood essence power to break through bottlenecks was actually about the same as martial artists breaking through bottlenecks.


    When martial artists were breaking through this sort of major checkpoint, they needed titanic amounts of essence energy as support. Otherwise, it was very easy to fail the breakthrough.


    This was also the reason why medicinal pills were so important when breaking through bottlenecks.


    If Ye Yuan did not help the Azure Spirit Tree apply the needles, this distance of half a step, the Azure Spirit Tree might not even break through for dozens of years, even a century.


    But his speed of absorbing wood essence power increasing ten times, this difficult problem would be easily resolved.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This stretch of spirit vein is indeed your optimal place to breakthrough bottlenecks. It''s also no wonder that you entrenched here all along and not leave. The matter should not be delayed. Let''s begin."


    Ye Yuan did not plan on wasting time. It had been roughly over half a year''s time since he was out. No idea what situation the Endless World was in right now either. He must make the best use of his time to get out.


    . . . . . .


    The following few days, Ye Yuan frequently used the needles on the Azure Spirit Tree''s main body.


    Indeed, the Azure Spirit Tree''s aura gradually became violent, looking like it was going to break through to Tier 7 soon!


    On the eighth day, tribulation clouds rolled in the sky. The Azure Spirit Tree finally welcomed the heavenly tribulation!


    "The heavenly tribulation came. You be careful yourself! You''re a heaven and earth spirit wood. The might of this heavenly tribulation is bound to be extraordinary. Even though this Wood Spirit Dragon Imprisoning Array''s offensive power isn''t high, using it to defend is pretty decent. I''ll control the grand array to help you block a portion of the heavenly tribulation''s power. The rest will be up to yourself!" Ye Yuan said.


    Sensing the horrifying aura coming from the tribulation clouds, the Azure Spirit Tree''s expression was also a never-before solemn.


    "Good brother! I promise you that after I transcend this tribulation, I''ll definitely guard your friend for ten years!"


    This heavenly tribulation was not so easy to transcend for the Azure Spirit Tree.


    He finally managed to cultivate out a primordial spirit, unlike when he was muddle-headed back then, relying entirely on instinct to do things.


    The present Azure Spirit Tree was filled with yearning and curiosity towards this world and did not wish to fall under the heavenly tribulation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Talk again after this. You don''t have to be so nervous either. This isn''t beneficial to you transcending the tribulation instead. This place is a land of spirit vein. Not only is it your optimal location to cultivate, but it''s also likewise your ideal place to transcend tribulations. Unceasing wood essence power, what can the heavenly tribulation do to you?"


    The Azure Spirit Tree''s eyes lit up as he said in annoyance, "This stupid brain of mine, why didn''t I think of that!"


    Before long, the heavenly tribulation descended. The commotion was indeed extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan controlled the grand array to resist the heavenly tribulation only withstood for one round, and the grand array collapsed with a loud bang. Ye Yuan even sustained considerable injuries for this.


    But on this stretch of spirit vein, the Azure Spirit Tree''s strength was truly by no means insignificant.


    No matter how the heavenly tribulation wreaked havoc, the Azure Spirit Tree could recover rapidly.


    Furthermore, through Ye Yuan helping him to tidy up his meridians, the Azure Spirit Tree''s speed of drawing on the wood essence power was ten times than before.


    Under such circumstances, virtually nothing could destroy him. Even the heavenly tribulation could not as well!


    Finally, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the Azure Spirit Tree successfully broke through to Tier 7!


    "Hahaha! To think that I feared the heavenly tribulation like a tiger! Looking at it now, it''s also nothing much!" the Azure Spirit Tree chortled loudly and arrived beside Ye Yuan with a leap.


    Tier 7 was already an extremely daunting existence in this expanse of heaven and earth.


    Even in the Divine Realm, Tier 7 powerhouses could also own a piece of small territory and lord over a region.


    The Azure Spirit Tree crossing this threshold, how could it not be happy?


    "Haha, congratulations to Brother Qing," Ye Yuan congratulated as well.


    Although Ye Yuan''s injuries were already healed at this time, the Azure Spirit Tree knew that he played a role of vital importance during the process of him breaking through this time.


    "Ye Yuan, we''re good brothers from hereafter. My promise to you will definitely be fulfilled! Here, this is the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. Take it!"


    The Azure Spirit Tree casually threw toward Ye Yuan a wood-material vessel. Inside was filled with some azure-colored liquid. It was precisely the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid!


    Ye Yuan was ecstatic when he saw and said, "High-grade Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid! Brother Qing, thanks a lot! My friend is inside the space I carry on me. If Brother Qing doesn''t mind, stay inside there from now on as well."


    The Azure Spirit Tree nodded his head as a show of agreement.


    Ye Yuan said, "Brother Qing, don''t resist. I''ll put you inside."


    Ye Yuan''s mind willed and directly placed the Azure Spirit Tree and himself inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan and the Azure Spirit Tree appeared in front of Yue Mengli and the rest.


    Ye Yuan passed the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid to Yue Mengli and said, "Li-er, this is the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid. You consume it directly will do!"


    Yue Mengli said in astonishment, "You . . . You really found the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Brother Qing and I agreed on a divine soul contract lasting ten years. For the next ten year, he''ll guard by your side constantly and provide Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid for you. In the future, consume this quantity of Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid every month, and you can continuously recover the divine soul being torn. As long as you don''t employ the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, it can keep you worry-free for ten years."


    Yue Mengli''s eyes were wet long ago already. Ye Yuan deliberately cut off the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s connection with the outside world and not let the people inside know what was happening outside.


    But it was precisely because so that Yue Mengli was even more aware of this trip''s danger.


    Putting aside other things, just looking at the Azure Spirit Tree''s Tier 7 aura, unimaginable dangers must have been experienced in between this.


    But Ye Yuan actually really found the Azure Spirit Tree for the sake of a promise back then.


    Furthermore, making such a divine soul contract with a powerhouse like the Azure Spirit Tree, Ye Yuan definitely paid an immense price too.


    The emotions in Yue Mengli''s heart at present was long unable to be described using words already.


    "Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Yue Mengli did not hold back, swiftly planted a light kiss on Ye Yuan''s face, then she turned her head over. Her entire face was burning as if it was on fire.

 677 Divine Realms Anecdote!

    Ye Yuan was somewhat dazed, caught off guard by Yue Mengli''s unexpected action.


    A hint of lingering fragrance reverberated beside his face. The moist red lips were very soft and very exquisite and actually made him somewhat reluctant to part with that action just now.


    In his past life and this life, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time having such intimate actions with a girl.


    Even he, this Alchemy Emperor, was kind of at a loss on what to do right now as well.


    As for Yue Mengli, she buried her head into her chest quickly, bashful until she wished that she could find a hole in the ground to tunnel in.


    It was Ye Yuan''s first time, but how was it not her first time too?


    Yue Mengli herself also did not think why she would kiss Ye Yuan earlier at the behest of supernatural powers.


    This to her, this reserved lady, was simply unimaginable.


    In the Divine Realm, how many men were enthralled with longing for her, but she had always turned her nose up at them.


    But now, why was she so deplorable in front of Ye Yuan?


    Who she liked was Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi. How could she possibly be interested in this boy?


    Won''t, definitely won''t!


    En, she was purely expressing her gratitude!


    That''s it!


    But why could she always see Qingyun Zi''s shadow on Ye Yuan''s body?


    Yue Mengli''s mind ran wild, her entire person was in a mess.


    The atmosphere seemed rather heavy and kind of stifling. Of course, there was still some ambiguity.


    Yet, there was still a person with a dumbfounded look by the side. The Azure Spirit Tree did not know what the two of them were doing at all.


    "What''s with you guys? You were still perfectly fine just now. Why aren''t you speaking all of a sudden?" the Azure Spirit Tree asked very stupidly and very naively.


    Even though the Azure Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spirit wood, it had only cultivated out a primordial spirit for a few short years. It was even more clueless about the feelings between humans.


    About Yue Mengli''s actions just now, he did not feel that there was any inappropriate area.


    "Cough, cough, nothing. Brother Qing, I''ll have to trouble you in the future!" Ye Yuan also came back to his senses at this time and said rather awkwardly.


    The Azure Spirit Tree who did not care about anything at all did not suspect anything else and said with a smile, "This space you carry with you is really quite good. It''s good enough to compare to a small world! Looks like Ye Yuan, you, indeed have encountered immense fortunes. It''s also pretty good for me to stay here. It''s just, I wonder where will we be going next?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I still have a matter to handle. After settling this matter, we''ll leave the God Prohibited Demon Region and return to the Endless World."


    . . . . . .


    On the second day, Ye Yuan left seclusion and carried an ice-blue medicinal pill in his hand to see Lu-er.


    This day, Ye Yuan had waited for far too long. Even he himself was somewhat worked up.


    It was Ye Yuan who brought Lu-er onto the path of cultivation but did not think that it would harm her because of this.


    All along, who Ye Yuan felt he owed the most to was Lu-er.


    But him walking out of a small little Tranquil Cloud Sect, his strength was seriously too weak. Even refining a medicinal pill could not be done as well.


    Now, he finally had the strength to refine the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill and gathered up the medicinal herbs to refine the medicinal pill. He naturally refined it right away.


    "Lu-er, what Young Master promised you is finally accomplished! You eat this medicinal pill, then circulate your skill and give it a try!" Ye Yuan said rather agitatedly.


    Actually, these few years, Lu-er''s days following by Ye Yuan''s side were tough.


    She knew that Ye Yuan was caught in dangerous situations countless times, but she was a good-for-nothing who could not even cultivate and could not help Young Master. This made her very anguished inwardly.


    Looking at the medicinal pill Ye Yuan passed over, that mopey face of Lu-er''s finally glowed with luster anew!


    She received the medicinal pill and said tearfully, "Thank you, Young Master!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Silly girl, what are you being courteous with Young Master for? Eat the medicinal pill, circulate the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, and take a look at how the effects are like!"


    Lu-er nodded her head like a chicken pecking for rice, swallowed the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill accordingly, and started revolving the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul.


    "Ugh . . ."


    Very soon, a pained expression appeared on Lu-er''s face, while the surrounding temperature also dropped instantly. Lu-er''s body and face actually started to condense a layer of thin frost.


    Very clearly, Lu-er''s frost poison flared up!


    But Lu-er was very stubborn, forcefully enduring it.


    Before long, the Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill finally started to take effect!


    That Five-Revolutions Iceheart Pill actually formed an ice-blue cyclone inside Lu-er''s dantian, gathering all the frost poison in her body inside the cyclone.


    Gradually, the frost on Lu-er''s body started to dissipate and finally vanished away.


    Ye Yuan was very happy when he saw this scene and knew that the frost poison in Lu-er''s body was already thoroughly suppressed inside the dantian cyclone!


    Now, not only was Lu-er fully recovered, the frost poison was even stored in the dantian.


    As long as Lu-er executed a martial technique, not only would it carry the power of ice, it would even carry frost poison in it.


    Once invaded into the enemy''s body, it would make the opponent be worse off than dying!


    Not only was this frost poison unable to threaten Lu-er, it even became a major killing tool of her''s.


    All of a sudden, a violent aura suddenly appeared on Lu-er''s body.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, "This little girl, pretty obstinate. She actually started breaking through right away!"


    The commotion of this breakthrough was by no means insignificant!


    The violent essence energy engulfed a huge area, making the temperature in this region fall.


    Very soon, this area actually started fluttering down pieces of snowflakes!


    This startled Yue Mengli and the rest to gather around one after another.


    When Yue Mengli saw that Lu-er was actually cultivating, she could not help getting a huge shock.


    Looking at the cultivation method Lu-er was cultivating, she could not help exclaiming in shock. "Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul! Lu-er is actually cultivating in the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul!"


    She said it to Ye Yuan. Very clearly, this cultivation method could only be Ye Yuan imparting it to Lu-er.


    Yue Mengli knew that the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul was the Divine Realm''s Spirit Snow Divine King''s main cultivation method; it was extremely powerful!


    "That''s right. It''s precisely the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The present Ye Yuan seemed to have already forgotten about yesterday''s incident and faced Yue Mengli very calmly.


    Seeing Yue Mengli''s gaze, Yue Mengli''s face flushed to the tip of her ears, but she calmed down.


    Her exquisite eyes suddenly swiveled, and she stared at Ye Yuan and said, "Speaking of this Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, it reminds me of an anecdote in the Divine Realm. I wonder if Brother Ye wants to hear or not?"


    Ye Yuan said with a slight smile, "I''m all ears!"


    Yue Mengli nodded her head and murmured to herself, "The number one beauty in the Divine Realm back then, Spirit Snow Divine King, Mu Lingxue, adored the peerless Alchemy Emperor of his generation, Qingyun Zi. The two people''s feelings had been entangled all along for dozens of years, but in the end, the heartless brook babbles on while the dropping flowers pine for love. Later on, the Spirit Snow Divine King was severely injured by an enemy and almost perished, her Dao dissipating. When Qingyun Zi got the news, he led ten mighty Divine King experts from the Medicine King Hall and attacked like lightning, directly annihilating the enemy, and saving the Spirit Snow Divine King! The Spirit Snow Divine King''s injuries were extremely severe at that time and virtually did not have the possibility of surviving. But Qingyun Zi transformed the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal, expending nine days and nine nights to refine a transcendent-grade high-level spirit pill for the Spirit Snow Divine King, forcefully dragging the Spirit Snow Divine King back from King Yama''s hall!"


    As Yue Mengli said, she observed Ye Yuan''s expression.


    However, Ye Yuan was unperturbed, as if listening to a story not related to him. This discovery made her very disappointed.King Yama is a judge in hell in East Asian mythology. Basically means dragged her back from hell.

 678 To Guard a Tree Stump and Wait for Rabbits

    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not have any indication, Yue Mengli continued talking.


    "The peerless Alchemy Emperor, Qingyun Zi, became furious for a beauty. This became a beautiful story in the entire Divine Realm. It''s just no idea why, after the Spirit Snow Divine King stayed for a month at the Medicine King Hall, she still left. Later on, the Spirit Snow Divine King let out the word, saying that she paid the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul as remuneration to Lord Qingyun Zi. The two people did not owe each other from then on! Ever since then, the Spirit Snow Divine King went into closed-seclusion and did not exit the entire time, all the way until today."


    Yue Mengli wanted to test Ye Yuan''s reaction and kept on staring at Ye Yuan''s eyes. But there was still no changes at all as if listening to a story completely unrelated to him.


    This made Yue Mengli very disappointed.


    If Ye Yuan was Qingyun Zi, how great would that be!


    But if he was not Qingyun Zi, the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul this level of top-tier cultivation method, where did he get it?


    Yue Mengli had never heard of anyone else who knew this cultivation method in the Divine Realm apart from the Spirit Snow Divine King and her disciples.


    The only possibility was Lord Qingyun Zi!


    Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "A Qingyun Zi who is so oblivious to amorous feelings! Haha, the story is pretty good."


    Yue Mengli was stunned. It was over like this?


    Right then, Lu-er stopped cultivating; the breakthrough had completed!


    She jumped right into Ye Yuan''s embrace and said with an exhilarated look, "Young Master, I can finally cultivate again!"


    Seeing Lu-er''s cheerful appearance, Ye Yuan was very happy too. Rubbing Lu-er''s head dotingly, he said with a smile, "Huhu, looks like you had a lot pent up. With this, you directly broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!"


    Lu-er said happily, "Yeah. Lu-er doesn''t wish to become a good-for-nothing. Even if Lu-er can''t ever catch up to Young Master, I also hope to have the ability to protect myself. At least that way, I won''t become Young Master''s burden."


    Ye Yuan knocked Lu-er''s head when he heard that and said with a laugh, "What burden? If you carry on talking like this, Young Master will really get angry!"


    Lu-er stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "I won''t say anymore!"


    But her eyes revealed a fierce desire. That was the desire to become strong.


    This gentle and sweet scene fell into Yue Mengli''s sights, but she was in a trance.


    Could it be that she really guessed wrongly? This Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul was just a coincidence?


    In Yue Mengli''s impression, Lord Qingyun Zi was a high and lofty divinity. He always had a very proud and cold character.


    But the current Ye Yuan was poles apart from that person in her impression.


    Alright, no matter what, as long as she kept on following Ye Yuan, there would always be the chance to probe it out.


    With Ye Yuan''s heart realm boundary, how could it be that easy for Yue Mengli to feel Ye Yuan out?


    Not that Ye Yuan did not trust Yue Mengli, but he did not wish to drag Yue Mengli into the dispute.


    The Medicine King Hall was one of the pinnacle forces in the Divine Realm. Even though Bright Moon City was powerful, it was still far too lacking compared to the Medicine King Hall; let alone Yue Mengli who was a weak woman.


    The more she knew, the more dangerous it actually was for Yue Mengli.


    Ignoring yesterday''s matter, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli had gone through life and death together. Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to drag her in.


    Lu-er''s matter being settled, Ye Yuan was already eager to return home.


    But inside the God Prohibited Demon Region, Ye Yuan still had some matters that must be dealt with.


    There was still something that happened during this period. The Azure Spirit Tree this fellow said that he had no name, so he gave himself a name called Ye Qing.


    Ye Yuan brought Ye Qing and charged right up to the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan''s lair, and gave the roc clan a stern warning.


    If the roc clan dared to touch a hair of the bear clan and fox clan, he would definitely bathe the Thousand Mountain Great Roc Clan in blood.


    With Ye Qing this Tier 7 expert present, the roc clan did not even dare to make a chirp.


    The same thing also happened at the tiger clan.


    Even though the tiger clan''s strength fell drastically after this incident, it was also stronger than the bear clan and fox clan no matter what. Giving a bit of warning was a must too.


    After settling everything, Ye Yuan brought everyone and set off for the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog once more!


    . . . . . .


    "Haha! Big Brother, we''re finally out!" White Light said with an excitedly look.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with an odd look and said, "This Essence Devouring Confounding Fog actually doesn''t have any effect on you at all! When I just entered back then, I almost succumbed inside there. If not for breaking through Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm at the eleventh hour, I''d probably have become a skeleton right now already!"


    "Huhu, Big Brother, you''re a person whose fortunes run deep. How can a puny little Essence Devouring Confounding Fog possibly stump you?" White Light said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and did not say anything.


    Talking about it was simple, but at that time, it was really life hanging by a thread.


    Whatever fortunes run deep, Ye Yuan did not really believe all along. When it really came down to the wire, what he relied on was still himself.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred. Yue Mengli, Yan-er, and Ye Qing appeared beside.


    These two people had been kicking up a racket to come out and to take a breather when at the God Prohibited Demon Region. Exiting the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog at this time, Ye Yuan let them out.


    Now that Yue Mengli consumed the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid, her entire person''s vigor and condition were much better.


    Even though she was unable to use ocular powers, occasionally using essence energy was achievable.


    As expected, Ye Qing was filled with curiosity towards the outside world, making a huge fuss about wanting to come out and take a look.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only promise him.


    As for Lu-er and Yuan Fei they all, they still stayed in the Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate.


    Especially Lu-er. These few days, she cultivated desperately like she went mad. Moreover, her breakthrough speed was unbelievably odd. She was already almost breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm now.


    But Ye Yuan also warned Ye Qing that after coming out, he must not use essence energy surpassing Tier 5. Otherwise, it would make the entire Endless World''s space collapse.


    Tier 7 strength was sufficient to destroy a small world like the Endless World!


    Each small world had operation rules belonging to their own. The indigenous martial artists here would receive the restrictions of these rules.


    But to powerhouses that surpassed this world''s rules, some of the rules here were not applicable.


    If Zhao Tianyin came to the Endless World, what he could bring would only be destruction, and would not be able to ascend from here. Because he carried the brand of the Fierce Gale World since birth.


    And Yue Mengli was born in the Divine Realm. What she carried on her was the Divine Realm''s regulations power.


    But the Divine Realm''s regulations power was clearly higher level than the Endless World''s regulations power. Hence, Yue Mengli would not transcend tribulations here but could rip space and enter the Divine Realm.


    Before this, Ye Yuan repeatedly exhorted Ye Qing. This place was Ye Yuan''s hometown. He did not wish for his parents to die and be destroyed together with the small world.


    "Big Brother, since we''re already out, let''s quickly go back. With half a year''s time already passed, I reckon that the war between two worlds has already gotten out of hand!" White Light urged.


    Ye Yuan took a look at the black mark on his palm and said with a smile, "No rush. There''s still a small trash fish that wants to come over and seek his own doom. Let''s send him along his way first."


    White Light was stunned, then smacked his head immediately and said, "Sigh, look at this memory of mine. I nearly forgot about that mutt trash! Now that both of our strength have improved greatly, we have to wait for this trash well!"

 679 Bring About Ones Own Destruction

    Somewhere in the Endless Forest, a martial artist was currently sitting quietly and meditating.


    All of a sudden, his heart stirred. Snapping open his eyes abruptly, his gaze revealed a look of wild elation.


    He looked at that black mark on his hand and laughed wildly as he said, "Hahaha! Everything comes to him who waits! Finally! I waited until you came! This boy really has the devil''s luck, entering this Forbidden Death Zone and actually not even dying! Looks like the rumors had much falsehood. This so-called Forbidden Death Zone is nothing more than this!"


    This martial artist was precisely the Ding Liang who had guarded bitterly here for over half a year!


    When Ye Yuan just came out of the Essence Devouring Confounding Fog, the divine soul curse mark which had no activity for half a year finally had a reaction!


    Even though Ye Yuan entered the Forbidden Death Zone, Ding Liang was still quite worried in the end.


    Ye Yuan''s growth was too quick. If this fellow entered the Forbidden Death Zone but did not die, wanting to kill him at that time would be hard!


    Ye Yuan already had the strength to kill Shangguan Yunrong half a year ago. If he was given a bit more time, who knows to what extent he would grow to?


    Hence, Ding Lian ultimately decided to stay behind. Want to see the person if alive, the corpse if dead.


    During this half a year, Ding Liang wanted to enter the Forbidden Death Zone under impulse a number of times.


    But each time he arrived in front of it, that death aura came from head-on, practically making him feel asphyxiated.


    In the end, he still did not have the courage to charge in.


    Did not expect that after half a year, Ye Yuan actually really came out from inside!


    Swoosh!


    Ding Liang directly vanished on the spot and headed in the direction of the mark with rapid speed.


    The distance of the mark was not far. With his speed, he only needed an hour to reach.


    But as the distance got increasingly nearer, the uneasiness in Ding Liang''s heart became all the more intense.


    "What''s going on? This boy is actually stationary and did not move all along. Could it be that he''s waiting for me to go find him? But half a year''s time, even if his improvement is any quicker, it''s also just middle-stage Soul Sea strength. Even if he can cross boundaries to battle, it''s impossible to be my match too!"


    He thought this way in his heart, but Ding Liang''s speed slowed down. His heart was hit with a wave of anxiousness and doubt.


    "This boy is most adept at scheming. Is it having something secure to rely on, or he deliberately putting up an empty-fort strategy?"


    Right now, the distance away from Ye Yuan''s place would only take merely 15 minutes to reach. Should he go or stay?


    After Ding Liang struggled for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and made the decision. " I don''t believe that he has the strength to threaten me after half a year! When he went in, he was just First Level Soul Sea! If I let Ye Yuan off this time, I can''t escape the word, death, over at the Wind Emperor, His Majesty''s side too!"


    Thinking up to here, Ding Liang revolved his skill, his figure speeding in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    After 15 minutes, several black dots came into view in the distance.


    These few black dots gradually magnified. Ding Lian''s heart sunk with a thud.


    Half a year of not seeing, Ye Yuan actually really broke through to late-stage Soul Sea!


    At the rate of this speed, wouldn''t he be going to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm very soon?


    Would Ye Yuan have the strength to threaten the Wind Emperor, His Majesty, when he broke through to the Divine Traversing Realm?


    Thinking up to here, Ding Liang could not resist shuddering. But he then quickly expelled this notion out of his head.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ding Liang with a grin on his face and said smilingly, "Why are you only here now? I''ve already waited for you for a very long time!"


    Ding Liang did not speak but swept a glance over the few people beside Ye Yuan with a solemn face.


    Yue Mengli and White Light, he did not pay any heed to them. Rather, that azure shirt youth actually made him have a feeling of being unable to fathom!


    But the aura that Ye Qing exhibited out was faintly discernible, somewhat erratic.


    Ding Liang just took a few glances, then placed his gaze on Ye Yuan anew.


    Ye Yuan was the target that Ding Liang was the most vigilant of!


    Ding Liang never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan leaving this time, he would actually rise two minor stages when he came back, and already advanced to late-stage Soul Sea!


    But even so, Ding Liang did not feel that he would lose either.


    "Deliberately being mysterious! You called this woman out again. You can''t be thinking that I would fall for it again and let you all escape?" Ding Liang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile.


    Ding Liang had suffered a loss once previously. If not for Ye Yuan calling Yue Mengli out at that time, he definitely could not escape back then!


    This matter also made Ding Liang gloomy for very long afterward.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Huhu, letting you, this old dog, live until now, is already letting you get off cheap. Back then, you actually dared to touch my senior brothers at the Fierce Gale World, and then you chased me down. This score, we have to settle it properly today!"


    Although Ye Yuan had a smile on his face, the words that he uttered were seething with killing intent.


    Towards Ding Liang, he had indeed endured patiently for too long!


    As Zhao Tianyin''s accomplice in crime, this fellow''s sin was unforgivable!


    Even if Ding Liang did not come to find him today, he would also drop in on him and eradicate him. But with Shangguan Yunrong''s divine soul curse mark, it saved Ye Yuan some trouble.


    Ding Liang burst into laughter and said, "You aren''t thinking that you''re invincible after breaking through to late-stage Soul Sea, right? Or is your reliance this woman? Could it be that you forever only know how to hide behind women? It was like this at the Fierce Gale World, it was like this when I was hunting you down the last time, and it''s still like this now! Hahaha . . ."


    Ding Liang laughed wildly without fear and did not attach importance to Yue Mengli at all.


    However, these words of his did not infuriate Ye Yuan but utterly enraged the Yue Mengli by the side.


    Slap!


    Yue Mengli''s dainty palm waved. Essence energy instantly condensed and formed a slap, directly smacking Ding Liang flying.


    Under Yue Mengli''s attack, Ding Liang did not even have time to react!


    Even if she did not employ ocular powers, Yue Mengli killing Ding Liang was also not much different from killing a dog.


    If not for leaving Ding Liang for Ye Yuan, Ding Liang would already be a dead man now!


    "Putuu! Putuu!"


    Ding Liang crawled to his feet very quickly. Even though he was hugging his face with his hand, he spat teeth out non-stop.


    Turns out that this slap of Yue Mengli''s directly smacked out half of his teeth.


    "If you say any more rubbish, no need for Ye Yuan to make a move and I''ll annihilate you first!" Yue Mengli warned.


    To the current Yue Mengli, insulting Ye Yuan was no different from insulting her.


    How did Ding Liang still have any hint of the imposing air from earlier at this time?


    Only now did he know that this woman''s strength was still that strong!


    Just based on that one move from Yue Mengli earlier, killing him was simply as easy as blowing away dust!


    But if Ye Yuan had such a helper, why was he still chased down by him the last time?


    Ding Liang really even had the heart to die now. Messing with people shouldn''t be done like this!


    Ye Yuan looked at Ding Liang, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You were asking for it. Can''t be blamed on me."


    Right then, the Ye Qing by the side said impatiently, "This sort of trash, I''ll just annihilate him directly. Talk so much rubbish with him for what?"


    As he said, he raised his hand too. A slap smacked over.


    If previously Ding Liang was not prepared at all that time just now, he absolutely made ample preparations this time!


    However . . . the result was still the same!


    Slap!


    An extremely resounding slap!


    The slapped Ding Liang''s mouth was full of blood. There was already not a single tooth remaining . . .


    Only now, did Ding Liang discovered that these two helpers Ye Yuan brought, any one of them could easily exterminate him.


    Yet, it was already too late . . .

 680 Meeting Old Friend

    Looking at Ding Liang''s flat-shaped face, Ye Yuan had a look of helplessness.


    He was initially still thinking of having a big fight. Who knew that Ding Liang looked for trouble himself and actually went to provoke Yue Mengli.


    Ye Qing was clearly not some good-natured person either. Ye Yuan had yet to stop it, but Ye Qing already directly sent a slap howling over already.


    The pitiful Ding Liang already lost his teeth before even starting.


    These two people attacking, Ye Yuan could not stop it at all!


    "Originally thinking of giving you a chance to have a fair fight. Who knew that you took the road to ruin yourself. Forget it, directly send you on your way then. Consider yourself getting off lightly," Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Ding Liang still wanted to say something, but he mumbled for a long time and did not say it out.


    Ye Qing seemed to not have the patience to dawdle too, directly slapping a palm over.


    Ding Liang did not even have time to resist and was smashed into meat paste.


    This move of Ye Qing''s earlier was merely employing peak Tier 5 strength. But Ding Liang could not even receive a single move.


    A Tier 7 powerhouse, even if only employing Tier 5 strength, was also not what a Tier 5 martial artist could withstand.


    With Ding Liang''s death, the divine soul curse on Ye Yuan''s hand also gradually dissipated.


    This curse could only be used once. Once the host dies, the curse would also dissipate along with it.


    It was a pity that Shangguan Yunrong still arranged a killer for Ye Yuan before dying. But in the end, it dragged Ding Liang in as well.


    To the current Ye Yuan, Ding Liang was just a small interlude.


    With Yue Mengli and Ye Qing by his side, Ye Yuan could already sweep across any small world!


    Even if he faced off with Ding Liang now, it was also absolutely a certain victory.


    "Big Brother, what should we do now?" White Light asked.


    "Exit the Endless Forest first. I''ll find a person first to ask about the Endless World''s situation currently. Fierce Gale World that bunch of fellows, they are all being mysterious. I keep having a bad premonition," Ye Yuan said.


    White Light''s eyes suddenly swiveled around, and he said, "Okay! Big Brother, I see that your current speed is incomparably strange. Why not we compete with distance and see whose speed is faster?"


    Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "You really want to compete?"


    White Light was stimulated by Ye Yuan''s expression, raised his head, and said, "Don''t look down on people! After I broke through to Tier 5, my speed is several times faster than before! Even a late-stage Tier 5 expert, I can also completely suppress him in speed! I don''t believe that I can''t beat you!"


    "Alright then. Actually, you as a Flowing Light White Tiger''s progeny, I really don''t wish to strike down your confidence," Ye Yuan said with a look of helplessness.


    "Ahh! Don''t be cocky! I absolutely won''t lose to you! I bet my pride as a divine beast progeny!" White Light went ballistic straight away.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Alright then, alright. So . . . begin?"


    "Hang on, I''m coming too!" Ye Qing had a child''s temperament too. Seeing these two people enjoying themselves, he could not resist joining in too.


    Ye Yuan and White Light could not help rolling their eyes at him and saying, " You, a Tier 7 powerhouse, competing in leg strength with us. Isn''t that bullying people?"


    Ye Qing said, "I''ll suppress my cultivation realm to late-stage Tier 5!"


    Ye Yuan said powerlessly, "Fine then. I hope that you guys won''t cry in a while!"


    This time, Ye Qing could not stand it, "Punk, don''t pretend to be capable! Even if I suppress my realm to late-stage Tier 5, you can''t possibly win me either!"


    Suppressing his realm to late-stage Tier 5, but Ye Qing had the Heavenly Dao comprehensions of Tier 7.


    This sort of transcendence was all-round. It was likewise the same in terms of movement technique.


    This was also the reason why the Eighth Level Soul Sea Ding Liang could not even block a single move when Ye Qing suppressed his strength to Tier 5.


    Ye Yuan just smiled, looked at Yue Mengli, and said, "Li-er, you and Yan-er be judges together then."


    Yue Mengli smiled sweetly and said, "No problem!"


    The three people got their preparations in order. When Yue Mengli said "start," the three people dashed out like arrows leaving the bow.


    For a moment, the three people were actually running neck to neck; they were evenly matched!


    "Hahaha! Big Brother, do you only have this bit of speed? Since that''s the case, then I won''t be courteous!"


    White Light gave a big laugh and actually increased speed once more, directly shaking Ye Qing and Ye Yuan off.


    "Punk, this is your strength? If you only have this bit of strength, I won''t accompany you to play either."


    Ye Qing''s figure moved. A green silhouette immediately ditched Ye Yuan behind.


    Seeing the two people''s actions, the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly as he said with a laugh, "This bit of strength? You guys are also looking down on me too much! Kun Peng bloodline, activate! Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art, full release!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure was akin to a rainbow cutting across the sky, chasing after the two people ahead with extreme speed!


    The three people''s speed were all extremely fast. Martial artists whose strength were slightly lacking could not keep up with their speed at all.


    But the Ye Yuan at this time reached first despite launching later, and actually gradually reduced the gap!


    His current leg strength was actually a bit faster than White Light and Ye Qing!


    This small disparity was enough to determine the final result.


    Ye Yuan caught up to Ye Qing very quickly, and then he surpassed White Light. Finally, their gaps became increasingly wider.


    Clearly, Ye Qing and White Light already could not catch up to Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan wins!" Yue Mengli announced the final result. The three people stopped too.


    White Light had a downcast look as he said, "You cheated, Big Brother! That day when you were fighting with Ye Qing, your speed was clearly not so fast!"


    Ye Qing also said, "Yeah. Your speed today seems to have increased a great deal compared to that day. What''s going on?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Martial techniques, of course, it''s the more and more proficient. My Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art is already at perfection! Unless it''s peak Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, otherwise, it''s very hard to catch up to my speed already!"


    "No way, right? Isn''t the cultivation of this martial technique of yours too fast?" White Light was shocked until his mouth of gaping wide-open.


    He knew Ye Yuan''s Wind-Thunder Extreme Light Shuttling Art and also knew how hard it was to train this martial technique.


    If it was somebody else who cultivated it, without eight to ten years, they could forget about reaching major accomplishment. But just how long did Ye Yuan use from start to end? To actually cultivate it to perfection already?


    "I comprehended the Wind Flow True Intent and possess the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. This martial technique won''t be too difficult to train to me," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Other people cultivating this cultivation method was comprehending true intent bit by bit. But Ye Yuan was already armed with two kinds of true intent. Cultivating it was naturally especially fast.


    "That might be the case, but even so, this cultivation speed of yours is still too perverse!" White Light grumbled.


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak but heard some noise coming from a distance. He involuntarily furrowed his brows and said, "There seems to be people fighting. Let''s go over and take a look, and inquire about the outside world news while we''re at it."


    Everyone naturally would not have any objections. The few people arrived at that fighting place with a leap.


    That bunch of people''s strength, they were not that strong, being only around Sea Transformation Realm strength. This bit of strength naturally could not possibly discover Ye Yuan they all.


    But the disparity between these two party''s strength was huge. It was clearly one side fleeing until here, then getting surrounded.


    One side only had around ten people, while the other side had dozens!


    Ye Yuan''s vision was extremely good. Looking over, his expression could not help darkening.


    "Ye Yuan, you know them?" Yue Mengli detected Ye Yuan''s oddness and opened her mouth to ask.

 681 Grievous News

    Both parties were currently in the heat of battle over there. But that side which only had ten plus people was already a spent force. Each and every one of their bodies carried serious injuries.


    Especially that youth in the lead. He virtually did not have an unscathed area on his body; practically at the state of dying already.


    Yet, his gaze was unbelievably fierce; he seemed unwilling to retreat even a single step!


    This imposing momentum suppressed the other party. For a moment, there was actually no one who dared to step forward.


    "Attack together! Kill him for me! I want to see how long you can persevere till!" the person in the lead roared.


    That youth was long already an arrow at the end of its flight. But at this time, he still unleashed out a punch obstinately!


    Boom!


    A Sea Transformation Realm martial artist in the front ranks was decimated by him immediately!


    However, there was more than one person coming forward at this time. Only to hear a few slashing sounds. That youth''s body actually suffered several more cuts!


    Once the other party saw that it succeeded, countless blade edges chopped towards that young man!


    "Ah! Don''t!" a girl screamed.


    Right at this time, a terrifying aura engulfed this battlefield.


    It was only to see a light breeze drift past. Those Sea Transformation Realm martial artists wielding blades all froze there. Some blades already slashed right in front of that youth''s face.


    But currently, their blade edges had no way of advancing another inch.


    Because they already became dead men!


    Dong dong dong!


    Only after several breaths did those people topple to the ground one by one, even though they were already not breathing moments ago.


    While right then, a figure gradually appeared beside that youth, sending a medicinal pill into his mouth.


    "Long time no see, Long Tang!"


    This figure was naturally none other than Ye Yuan!


    While this powerful Sea Transformation Realm martial artist was the Long Tang that Ye Yuan had not seen for a long time!


    Ever since the Southern Domain''s huge change and the Tranquil Cloud Sect secretly sent a batch of geniuses into the Northern Domain, Ye Yuan never saw Long Tang and Nanfeng Ruoqing aunt and niece again.


    He did not expect to actually meet them here today.


    That girl who screamed just now was Nanfeng Zhirou.


    The others were also mostly Ye Yuan''s Tranquil Cloud Sect seniors in the past.


    Long Tang''s injuries were extremely severe currently. He already lost consciousness.


    Nanfeng Zhirou aunt and niece pair stared fixedly at that figure but did not dare to identify each other.


    This person in front of them was too powerful!


    The opponents that they used all of their might and were also unable to defeat, this person before their eyes actually exterminated all of them with a wave of his hand!


    But that face, that profile, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan did not change. It was just a few years of not seeing, the immaturity on Ye Yuan''s face faded considerably. What replaced it was maturity . . . and might!


    While right then, Ye Yuan suddenly lifted his head and looked at them. Smiling warmly, he said, "What? You don''t recognize me anymore?"


    This sentence was like knocking out a crack on ice, instantly shattering the entire ice surface.


    Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly wept. Pouncing into Ye Yuan''s embrace all of a sudden, she sobbed, "It''s really you! I even thought that I would never see you again! Sniff, sniff . . ."


    Not far away, Nanfeng Ruoqing had tears flowing down her face too. How were her thoughts different from this niece?


    Ye Yuan knew that Nanfeng aunt and niece definitely suffered considerable hardships these few years and did not speak either. He just allowed her to cry in his embrace.


    "Alright, everything is over," Ye Yuan patted Nanfeng Zhirou lightly and consoled them.


    After a long time, Nanfeng Zhirou''s crying sounds finally gradually stopped. But she still could not refrain from sniveling.


    While at this time, Long Tang also slowly woke up. The injuries on his body were also much better.


    When he saw Ye Yuan, he likewise had a look of shock.


    He already harbored the determination of certain death earlier. Did not expect that he would actually be rescued at the eleventh hour.


    And the person who saved him was actually Ye Yuan!


    After small talk, the group of people found an open space to sit down, and Ye Yuan inquired about Long Tang and the others, concerning their situation these few years.


    Turns out that after they entered the Northern Domain back then, it was not smooth. They could not even find a place to settle down.


    Later on, because they offended a Northern Domain faction, the Sea Transformation Realm elder who was with them also succumbed in order to protect their retreat.


    No choice, Long Tang and the rest could only find a remote place to hide.


    But fortunately, Long Tang comprehended true intent. The speed of his rise up was very fast, and he quickly became this group of people''s leader.


    Experiencing considerable ordeals in the Northern Domain also accelerated Long Tang''s growth even further.


    The present Long Tang, his strength even reached late-stage Sea Transformation already. It was also not far from breaking through to Soul Sea Realm already.


    Afterward, Long Tang brought a group of fellow apprentices to a very remote place and rebuilt the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    But the place that they were at was seriously too out-of-the-way, resulting in information being inaccessible. They did not hear about the news of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s entire sect moving north at all.


    Following the Fierce Gale World''s large-scale invasion, there were no intact eggs under overturned nests. Long Tang and the others were naturally swept in too.


    They were taken in by the nearest faction and joined the Endless Alliance before knowing that it turned out Ye Yuan already became an earth-shaking big shot in the Northern Domain.


    It was just that the statuses of their group of people were seriously too low. Wanting to come into contact with the upper echelons was impossible.


    Of course, it was also something from several months ago.


    "We were originally being sent to the front-lines to stop the Fierce Gale World''s great army. But when we just walked halfway, grievous news suddenly came from the northern side. Wu Fang City was actually besieged by ten great peak Divine Traversing Realm Fierce Gale World experts, and the city protecting grand array was broken through. Wu Fang City was breached, and the Endless Alliance crumbled!"


    "What? You said that Wu Fang City was actually breached?!" Ye Yuan''s face paled greatly from shock when he heard that, grabbing Long Tang''s arm as he asked.


    "Yeah. Fierce Gale World''s ten peak Divine Traversing Realm experts directly teleported to outside Wu Fang City through no idea what sort of means, and they joined hands to breach the city protecting grand array! What? Could it be that you have some old friends and acquaintances in Wu Fang City?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression was incredibly grim. His heart hit rock bottom, and his heart was in a turmoil all of a sudden.


    He had long foreseen that the Endless World''s situation right now was probably not too good. But did not think that it was actually terrible to such an extent!


    Surprise raiding Wu Fang City. The Fierce Gale World, this bunch of fellows, truly had methods that sprung up one after another.


    Once Wu Fang City was breached, the Endless Alliance instantly crumbled. It would also be hard for the entire Endless World to muster an effective defense.


    This way, it was simply impossible to have major factions to come and deal with the Fierce Gale World''s great army.


    Then the Endless World martial artists became lambs awaiting slaughter one by one!


    The war between the two worlds developed to become the Fierce Gale World''s one-sided massacre!


    If he came a moment late, Long Tang their group of people would probably have been murdered in cold blood too.


    Of course, all these were not what Ye Yuan was concerned with.


    What Ye Yuan was truly concerned with was how his parents were right now!


    They were both at Wu Fang City. The city being breached, they all . . .


    Ye Yuan did not even dare to carry on thinking. If . . . If his parents really had some accident, Ye Yuan would definitely pull out Zhao Tianyin''s bones and refine his soul, and let him never be reincarnated for all of eternity!


    Ye Yuan originally thought that his parents in the Endless World''s main camp should be the safest.


    Who could have thought that in just half a year''s time, such a serious change would actually occur?


    "Good, very good! Zhao Tianyin, looks like you really won''t shed tears until you see the coffin!" Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred as he seethed with killing intent.

 682 Raise Ones Arm in a Call for Action

    The current Ye Yuan was unbelievably agitated. The killing intent on his body was virtually condensed to materialization, making Long Tang and the rest nearly suffocate.


    A gentle force lightly wrapped them up inside. Only then did Long Tang and the others loosen up, but they still panted heavily for air.


    "Ye Yuan''s parents and grandfather are all in Wu Fang City. They are his close kins. This trip of his only took around half a year, but I did not expect that the Endless World was actually occupied without even holding on for half a year."


    A pleasant-sounding voice transmitted over. It was precisely Yue Mengli.


    Ever since the first time they laid eyes on Yue Mengli, Nanfeng aunt and niece were already startled into taking her to be a fairy by her looks and disposition, with a feeling of shame at their own inferiority.


    Several years of not seeing him, they did not expect that such a goddess-like beautiful bosom friend would actually appear around Ye Yuan.


    The distress and inferiority-complex in the Nanfeng aunt''s and niece''s hearts were really unable to let people know about it.


    Between them and Ye Yuan were like two crisscrossed lines; going further apart.


    But right now, they were not in the mood to be jealous either. Hearing Yue Mengli''s words, they could not help worrying for Ye Yuan''s parents.


    "Do you guys have Wu Fang City''s news? Wu Fang City has gathered the pinnacle experts in the entire Endless World. Even if the city was breached, it''s also impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, right?" Ye Yuan asked with his heart filled with expectations.


    Back then, Wu Fang City had gathered countless powerhouses. Even if the Fierce Gale World''s ten great powerhouses laid siege to it, it''s impossible to round everyone up too.


    Yet, Long Tang''s reply disappointed Ye Yuan.


    "This . . . I only heard that Wu Fang City had a crushing defeat and countless powerhouses died. As for what exactly happened in the city, I have no clue."


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh lightly. Even though he knew that Long Tang could not possibly know some crucial information, he still held onto a trace of hope for a chance.


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes but silently entered into Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm.


    Everyone all knew that Ye Yuan was thinking of strategies. There was naturally nobody who dared to disturb him either.


    The others held their breaths, fearful of interrupting Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    Before long, Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes and said to everyone, "I''m going to slaughter my way towards Wu Fang City. Who amongst you all are willing to come along with me?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone stunned, with a feeling of burning with righteous indignation.


    The current Endless World was gloomy and lifeless and already at the borders of destruction. Even if some people had the will, they also had no strength to organize an effective resistance at all.


    Ye Yuan just said a simple sentence, but it was filled with powerful self-confidence and strength, instantly infecting Long Tang.


    "Fine! I''ll fight it out with you! This bunch of animals killed countless of our people. Even if I die, I also have to drag a few down with me!" Long Tang clenched his fists tightly and said.


    These days, Long Tang and these fellow apprentices had been lingering on their last breath the entire time, spending it too aggrievedly.


    Even if he poured his heart and soul, there were still over half of the fellow apprentices who were lost.


    Watching as his fellow apprentices died in front of him one by one, Long Tang''s hatred towards the Fierce Gale World martial artists had also reached the peak!


    But his strength was too weak and could not even stir up a single wave at all. This made him very anguished in his heart too.


    Now with Ye Yuan taking the lead, even if it was being a mere nobody charging forward, he was perfectly willing too.


    Because his accomplishments today were all given by Ye Yuan.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, we''re all willing to follow you!"


    "Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Ye. You''re our Tranquil Cloud Sect''s Sect Master now. If you say to head east, we absolutely won''t head west!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Ye, we''re all at your disposal!"


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately obtained these former allies'' response.


    The Fierce Gale World plunged the people into the depths of suffering. Each and every one of the Endless World martial artists all felt like they had experienced it personally. These fellow apprentices'' hatreds toward the Fierce Gale World were not any less than Long Tang''s.


    Furthermore, they have an immensely strong sense of identity with Ye Yuan. Therefore, when Ye Yuan raised his arm in a call for action, they immediately agreed virtually without hesitation.


    Under this current sort of circumstances, they needed a person to preside over the overall situation too much!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Fine! Since that''s the case, let''s erect the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s banner once more! Let the Fierce Gale World those fellows know our Tranquil Cloud Sect''s prowess!"


    If talking about which faction Ye Yuan had the strongest sense of identity with, it was none other than the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not erect the Wu Fang City''s banner, but led a bunch of fellow apprentices whose strength were not strong to raise a counteroffensive!


    "Long live the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    "Long live the Tranquil Cloud Sect!"


    . . . . . .


    Even though these fellow apprentices had experienced hardships, they still had a fierce sense of belonging towards the sect.


    Re-establishing the sect at this time, each and every one of them was unbelievably excited.


    After the excitement, Long Tang said, "Ye Yuan, since we''re re-establishing the Tranquil Cloud Sect, the choice of person for this sect master has to be you!"


    Long Tang saying this immediately got the fellow apprentices'' approval.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "How about this, I''ll temporarily take on the position of sect master. We''ll set off for Wu Fang City while inquiring about the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s news at the same time. In the future, when Sect Master Luo returns, this position of sect master is better for him to take on!"


    Since Wu Fang City was already breached, the Tranquil Cloud Sect that was rebuilt not long ago would probably also be hard to be spared.


    Ye Yuan could only pray in his heart right now that the fellow apprentices of the old days could be safe and sound.


    As long as they did not die, he believed that they would definitely come to seek refuge when they hear news about the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Including those Wu Fang City and the three sects'' factions, they all knew that his relationship with the Tranquil Cloud Sect was not shallow.


    Once the new Tranquil Cloud Sect''s reputation builds up, the Endless World''s powerhouses would definitely come over to join very soon.


    At that time, trickles of water would converge to become a boundless ocean!


    This sort of outcome was also considered reestablishing after getting broken.


    Long Tang nodded and said, "Alright, let''s do it that way! Lord Sect Master, I wonder what our first step should be? Although we all have the will to kill the enemy, we cannot help that our strength is still too weak!"


    Long Tang was a very calm person and did not lose his head with Ye Yuan''s return.


    Ye Yuan was merely just an individual, but the Fierce Gale World''s martial artists were numbered in the hundreds of millions.


    No matter how strong he was, it was also not possible to kill off all of the Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The first step is naturally to raise our strength! Long Tang, I see that you''re only a step away from Soul Sea Realm. I have some medicinal pills here. You take them and distribute them to fellow apprentices and strive to break through as soon as possible. Ye Qing, you come and protect me. I''m also going to enter closed-seclusion for two days!"


    "Okay, no problem!" Ye Qing said.


    Ye Yuan took out some medicinal pills and handed them to Long Tang. Then his mind stirred, and he entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    This action naturally aroused a wave of amazement. After Yue Mengli explained, everyone set their minds at ease. But also inexplicably had a bit more faith in Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s means were forever that inexhaustible!


    Ye Yuan built a pill refining room in the Vast Heaven Pagoda to provide for Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan''s cultivation usage.


    After Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he came straight to the pill refinement room. Casually waving his hand, a large batch of spirit medicines appeared.


    He was not some goody-two-shoes. Before coming out of the God Prohibited Demon Region this time, he had extorted large quantities of spirit medicines from the tiger clan and roc clan.


    Currently, his strength was still rather weak. He planned on refining a batch of medicinal pills and directly rushing to peak Ninth Level Soul Sea!


    Moreover, using the chaos gem the last time, there was still two-thirds of the time not used.


    Ye Yuan could just nice make use of this period of time to break through cultivation realms in one stroke!

 683 Joining from All Around

    Two days later, Ye Yuan exiting seclusion. This immediately stirred up an uproar.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Master, you . . . you actually used two day to break through two minor boundaries!"


    "Too inconceivable! From the first moment Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Master entered the sect, he has been continuously creating miracles. This point has yet to change until now either!"


    "This cultivation speed is too heaven-defying! I still remember when Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Master entered the sect, he was just Spirit Condensation Realm. Just how long has it been? He''s actually only half a step away from Divine Traversing Realm already!


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed simply could not be measured using common sense. Right off the bat when he entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect, he had been the fellow apprentices'' target of envy all along.


    In the beginning, there were still people who felt unconvinced by his domineering rise up. But later, they did not have the qualifications to be unconvinced already.


    Especially after the sect great competition, there was already no one who could replace Ye Yuan, this sect''s position of strongest talent.


    His talent, no one in the entire Endless World could surpass, let alone a tiny little Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    Now at this time, these fellow apprentices only had gasps of admirations left.


    Ye Yuan found Long Tang and asked, "Right now, which Fierce Gale World force is the closest to us? Uh . . . Forget about those under Divine Traversing Realm. Destroying them is also not very useful."


    Long Tang was slightly shocked. Musing for a moment, he said, "If above Divine Traversing Realm, the closest influence should be the Eminent Sky Sect ten thousand miles away. A Third Level Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse came from the Fierce Gale World some time ago and directly killed the Eminent Sky Sect''s old ancestor. I heard that this person''s measures are extremely cruel. The Eminent Sky Sect''s old ancestor died very miserably."


    A hint of a cold intent flashed across Ye Yuan''s eyes. He nodded his head and said, "Alright. It''s him!"


    Starting from this day, Ye Yuan started crazy retaliatory operations!


    One day later, he eradicated that Fierce Gale World powerhouse at the Eminent Sky Sect and directly had his cut-off head displayed to the public, hanging outside the gates!


    All the Fierce Gale World martial artists in the Eminent Sky Sect were killed. Not one remained!


    Five days later, the Deer Cry City ten thousand miles away from the Eminent Sky Sect suffered an attack. All the Fierce Gale World martial artists died. A Fifth Level Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse was annihilated!


    Ten days later, Ying Feng City, Che Lei Sect, and Windfiend Sect were destroyed at the same time. Several Fierce Gale World Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were killed!"


    . . . . . .


    One by one, the news of Fierce Gale World forces being destroyed spread out, very quickly alarming the entire Endless World.


    When the Endless World martial artists scattered all over the land heard this news, all of them were greatly encouraged and were all inquiring what kind of force rose up heaven-defyingly and carried out counter-attacks against the Fierce Gale World.


    "Really f*cking venting! Ever since the Fierce Gale World invaded, I''ve only heard of Crimsonlight City gaining a complete victory while the others were all bad news. Later, even our old nest was raided by people. Simply made Your Father depressed to the max! Now, this force that suddenly appeared actually destroyed so many Fierce Gale World forces in one breath and finally brought out my Endless World''s might!"


    "Yeah! The Fierce Gale World invaded for so long, the news heard were more grave than the last. I even felt that life had no more meaning! Also, don''t know which influence did it. Really vents one''s anger!"


    "Heard that it was done by a sect called Tranquil Cloud Sect. But since when was there such a powerful sect in our Endless World? One has to know that among those forces that were destroyed, there was even a Sixth Level Divine Traversing Realm existence. Wanting to destroy such an influence at the very least also needs a late-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse to be able to accomplish, right?"


    "Tranquil Cloud Sect? I never heard of them before! But since they made a name for themselves, we naturally have to go and join them! Just us, these few people, once we run into the Fierce Gale World''s great army, we wouldn''t even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!"


    "What you said is right! Our Endless World right now is a pile of loose sand and very much needs a genuine hero to come out and unite everybody! Go, let''s go and join them!"


    In a small faction, two leaders were currently discussing about throwing their lot in with the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    And this scene was currently happening in all corners of the Northern Domain''s southern part.


    This Tranquil Cloud Sect was like a last piece of straw that a person about to sink into the water grabbed hold on, giving them a final glimmer of hope.


    Even though this hope was very slim, without any doubt, this was far stronger than resigning themselves to death.


    For a moment, many big and small forces converged in Deer Cry City.


    This was the stronghold that Ye Yuan chose. This city was very large and could accommodate many martial artists. Furthermore, all sorts of resources were very abundant.


    The Fierce Gale World martial artists had yet to get to enjoy and were directly obliterated by Ye Yuan.


    In a short half a month''s time, 100 thousand martial artists gathered here!


    On this day, a massive army gathered at Deer Cry City. This army had roughly 30 thousand people!


    This was one of the most massive army currently gathered Deer Cry City among the forces.


    This force, even in the present chaotic age, was also a power that could not be underestimated.


    "Hey, you guys are that whatever Tranquil Cloud Sect''s people, right? Call your sect master out for me. I want to meet him!" the person at the helm said very haughtily.


    The one who received him was precisely Long Tang.


    The current Long Tang had also broken through to Soul Sea Realm already with the help of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills.


    The strength of this person before his eyes was very strong; he was already at the peak Ninth Level Soul Sea.


    Such strength, bringing along such a colossal army, was clearly also not some easy to deal with people.


    But his attitude still made Long Tang very displeased.


    "Coming to Deer Cry City, one has to adhere to Deer Cry City''s rules! Senior Apprentice Brother Sect Master is Deer Cry City''s leader. How can there be the logic of moving to receive you? If you wish to meet him, you should naturally go to his door to request an audience!" Long Tang frowned and said.


    Long Tang had sufficient reason to be proud now. The might of Ye Yuan''s strength far surpassed his imaginations.


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan being able to defeat middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses was already very decent. Who knew that his strength was ridiculously formidable.


    Regardless of how powerful the Fierce Gale World forces were, him and several companions heading forward by themselves were all slaughtering the enemies directly, leaving none behind.


    They, these fellow apprentices, were actually just supporting casts by the side and did not even have the qualifications to take action.


    No choice, their strength was too weak.


    Long Tang was clear that if not on account of being in the same sect, Ye Yuan would not even be inclined to give them a glance.


    The current Ye Yuan was already a figure from an entirely different world from them.


    But it was also precisely because so that Long Tang and they all, these fellow apprentices, felt incredibly proud.


    Because even until now, Ye Yuan still acknowledged that he was a member of the Tranquil Cloud Sect!


    "Yo! Didn''t you see how many people we brought here? Don''t think that you guys eradicating a few forces is impressive! Even though there are no Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses among us, these people, we''ve killed a middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse before! In terms of strength, we''re also not much worse off compared to your school''s sect master! What''s wrong with making him come see me?" the brawny man said disdainfully.


    Long Tang''s eyes narrowed. Clearly, he did not believe this guy''s words.


    A middle-Stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse adopting hit-and-run strategy was enough to wipe out this army of tens of thousands.


    This guy did not even make a draft before he bragged!


    Right at this time, a voice sounded out, "Chu Shi, half a year of not seeing, you''re really becoming even cockier!"

 684 Ye Family Army

    This brawny man was precisely the Chu Shi who was not seen for half a year already.


    And these tens of thousands of people that he brought here were naturally that bunch of martial artists Ye Yuan rescued from Crimsonlight City back then.


    It was just that the numbers seemed to have reduced considerably.


    "This Lord is cocky, so . . . what?"


    Chu Shi turned his head as he said arrogantly at the same time. But when he turned his head around, the word ''what'' was uttered quiveringly.


    The previous moment, he was still a powerful and majestic tiger. The next instant, he became a sickly cat; he shriveled up to the max.


    "Lord . . . Lord Ye Yuan! H-Haha, why is it you? You . . . Why would you appear here?" Chu Shi stammered, his tongue knotting as he spoke.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t you want to see me? Now that I came, why do you think I showed up here?"


    Chu Shi sweated profusely, his pair of eyes swiveled sneakily. Clearly, he wanted to find a reason to brush it over.


    Bang!


    Chu Shi was directly sent flying by a person. Who could it be if not Zhu Changzhi?


    Zhu Changzhi gave Ye Yuan a deep bow and said, "I warned this guy to not be cocky long ago, but he wouldn''t listen! It''s just that we never thought that the Tranquil Cloud Sect whose fame rose rapidly recently was actually chaired by Lord Ye Yuan!"


    When Ye Yuan saw old friends come to join, he was very happy too and said with a smile, "I came from the mortal world and entered the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Now that we''ve renewed our efforts after failure, I naturally have to carry my sect''s banner."


    Chu Shi they all were all itinerant cultivators back then. They only knew that Ye Yuan''s background was very powerful, but did not know at all that he actually came from an unremarkable small sect.


    The special characteristics of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, this sect, only those pinnacle upper echelons in the Northern Domain knew.


    "H-Haha, Lord Ye Yuan, us brothers really missed you to death! This period of time, we couldn''t sleep at night, worrying about you day in, day out. But didn''t expect that you actually came into being suddenly and became this Deer Cry City''s owner!" Chu Shi ran over submissively, thickened his face and said.


    Zhu Changzhi scolded laughingly, "I''ve long said that Lord Ye Yuan is a blessed fellow. How can the mere power of a curse possibly stump him?"


    Chu Shi pursed his lips and said, "No idea who moped and sighed in the middle of the night, praying to heaven for Lord Ye Yuan to be safe and sound!"


    "Scram! You rebuked His Excellency just now. Why haven''t you knelt down and admitted your fault?" Zhu Changzhi said with a furious roar.


    "I . . . I . . ."


    Chu Shi darted Zhu Changzhi a fierce glare, blaming him for rubbing his nose in.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he felt especially warm.


    Although these brawny men were uncouth, their concern towards him was genuine.


    Even though these people''s origins were lowly, they valued the code of brotherhood the most.


    This kind of people could shed their blood and lay down their lives for you and absolutely would not betray.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Forget it, forget it, the ignorant can be forgiven! Rather, you guys, why are only so few people left?"


    Before coming, Ye Yuan already saw that this big army was only numbered less than 30 thousand. Compared to back then, it was lesser by half.


    Chu Shi''s expression dimmed, and he fell silent.


    Zhu Changzhi let out a sigh too and recounted everyone''s encounter after separating from Ye Yuan.


    Turns out that after Ye Yuan left back then, Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and the others accompanied City Lord Su Hu and returned to Wu Fang City together.


    They wanted to bring Chu Shi they all, these martial artists, back together at that time, but Chu Shi and the rest were not willing.


    These people were all itinerant cultivators and used to freedom and no discipline, and were not used to a restrained life. Hence, they did not travel together.


    Logically speaking, these people were originally just some itinerant cultivators unacquainted with each other.


    But what made Chu Shi trio feel surprised was that these tens of thousands of martial artists, the vast majority of the people actually chose to stay. Only a small portion of the people chose to leave.


    Finally, roughly 50 thousand people chose to remain behind, while they elected Chu Shi trio to be the commanders.


    These people''s objectives were very simple, their lives were given by Ye Yuan, in the future, they would follow Ye Yuan''s dictates.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan left by himself and was chased down by a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse. Each and every one of them was all worried and must wait for the news of Ye Yuan''s safe return.


    Hence, these people formed a guerrilla warfare team specialized in making things difficult for the Fierce Gale World''s great army.


    What surprised people was that the great army that the Endless Alliance sent out were virtually routed on all fronts, while this guerrilla warfare team scored victory after victory, slaughtering countless Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    But Chu Shi, the three of them, were selective in their raids too. Places with Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses, they absolutely did not dare to go.


    Except, their existence ultimately still incurred the Fierce Gale World upper echelons'' attention.


    After Wu Fang City was breached, the Fierce Gale World finally got around to sending out those Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses to catch and kill the Endless World''s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses without restraint.


    And to deal with Chu Shi, their big army, the Fierce Gale World actually sent a Fierce Gale World Divine Traversing powerhouse forward.


    As a result, both parties carried out a brutal killing.


    Except . . . that Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse never could have dreamed that the combat strength of this great army was actually so formidable!


    He fell into the sea of people and actually did not have the chance to escape!


    Finally, after Chu Shi they all paid the price of 20 thousand casualties, they slew this Fourth Level Divine Traversing powerhouse!


    This battle result was what Chu Shi and the rest did not expect at all.


    Even they themselves were not aware that the training Ye Yuan gave them would actually produce such tremendous effect!


    To make a great army which did not even have a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse kill a Fourth Level Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse!


    But after this, Chu Shi trio also realized a problem. That was that the next time would absolutely not be so lucky!


    If the Fierce Gale World sent a late-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse over again, they would still not escape the outcome of the entire army being wiped out.


    Right at this time, they heard the news of the Tranquil Cloud Sect crazily annihilating Fierce Gale World forces. Chu Shi trio thought it over and decided to seek refuge with the Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    It was just that they never thought that this Tranquil Cloud Sect was actually established by Ye Yuan single-handedly.


    And Chu Shi recognized that they had killed a middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse before, so they wanted to take the Tranquil Cloud Sect down a notch, so as to protect their own independence.


    Who knew that Chu Shi set up a huge blunder for himself and nearly offended Ye Yuan.


    "Oh, right, Lord Ye Yuan, the designation of this great army of ours, just call it Ye Family Army!" Zhu Changzhi added.


    Ye Yuan was also rather surprised when he heard their encounter in this half a year.


    Looks like the growth of this great army was still outside of his expectations.


    This half a year''s time, Chu Shi they all experienced countless battles. The tempering between life and death also made their strength have a substantial rise.


    Now, Chu Shi trio actually broke through to peak Ninth Level Soul Sea already; there was only only one more step to take to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm.


    "Since you guys all came, stay here then. But your strength is still a little weak. I''ll refine some medicinal pills for you guys these two days to help you all break through to Divine Traversing Realm. With your current combat strength, as long as you break through to Divine Traversing Realm, your strength will surge substantially. Even late-stage Divine Traversing powerhouse might not be able to gain an advantage," Ye Yuan said.


    The people coming to seek refuge these few days were a lot. But those who genuinely had strength were not many.


    Chu Shi and the others, their appearance finally added the much needed help for Ye Yuan.

 685 Large Enemy Force Bearing down upon the Border

    "My lord, are . . . are you for real?" Chu Shi immediately said agitatedly upon hearing Ye Yuan''s words.


    The Qian Si who was silent the entire time by the side also became agitated at this time.


    The medicinal pills which Ye Yuan refined, they had all witnessed with their own eyes before. They had the effects of immediate results!


    Back then, Ye Yuan said that he could not refine medicinal pills for their use. But now, Ye Yuan was going to spend time to refine these medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan said with a half-smile, "When have I joked around with you all before?"


    When the three people saw Ye Yuan''s smile, they could not resist shuddering.


    They could not help automatically recalling the scenario of Ye Yuan throwing them into the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation.


    Originally they thought that it was just a one-time simple training, but they did not expect that this training really claimed lives.


    The three people bowed their heads to the ground and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency! The Ye Family Army will follow Your Excellency to the death!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and accepted it calmly.


    Towards the Ye Family Army''s arrival, Ye Yuan still felt quite relieved.


    To want to recapture the Endless World, Ye Yuan''s strength alone was clearly inadequate.


    Even if he was already invincible in the Endless World, there were too many people in the Fierce Gale World. If he slaughtered all the way over, he would probably have to kill for several decades as well.


    Ye Yuan erecting the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s banner was in order to solicit these scattered Endless World martial artists.


    Of course, if the Wu Fang City folks could hear the news and find their way over, that was for the best.


    Just what in the world happened to Wu Fang City on that day, where on earth did the people in Wu Fang City go to, was also a mystery to the current Ye Yuan.


    But right now, for Ye Yuan to go find his parents, where would he need to go to search among the sea of faces?


    Ye Yuan stirred up such a huge commotion, the primary objective was still for the sake of drawing the Fierce Gale World''s big shots'' attention, to make them place their primary efforts on him.


    Moreover, to inquire about his parents'' news, it was clearly more effective to get from the other party.


    . . . . . .


    With the Ye Family Army''s participation, Deer Cry City''s commotion was boosted considerably all at once.


    Ye Yuan also discovered to his delight that Chu Shi was really adept in the area of leadership.


    In the wake of martial artists coming to Deer Cry City getting increasingly more, management became a big issue.


    One had to acknowledge that Ye Yuan was not very skilled in this area.


    Rather, after Chu Shi they all joined and took the initiative to serve as the city guards, they only used a few day''s time to subdue those martial artists into obedience.


    Towards this sort of situation, Ye Yuan was naturally happy to see it happen.


    Furthermore, the Ye Family Army being established for such a long time, they had also built a complete intelligence system. Hence, Ye Yuan let Chu Shi extend his antennas out and inquire about Wu Fang City and Tranquil Cloud Sect''s news.


    Ye Yuan also inquired from Chu Shi about Wu Fang City''s news before. But sadly, they were similarly too far away from Wu Fang City and also not very clear.


    Arranging everything properly, Ye Yuan was just planning on marching the troops northwards when Chu Shi obtained an intel.


    An Eighth Level Divine Traversing powerhouse from the Fierce Gale World led over ten Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses and a million strong great army and were coming towards Deer Cry City in mighty contingents.


    "My lord, the Fierce Gale World''s great army is bearing down menacingly this time. Should we . . . temporarily avoid the spearhead?" Chu Shi asked probingly.


    Actually, Chu Shi did not have a clear understanding of just how powerful Ye Yuan''s current strength was right now either.


    But what kind of concept Eighth Level Divine Traversing was, he was perfectly clear.


    Such strength, even among the Endless World''s titans in the past was also sufficient to enter the top eight!


    Let alone that there were even over twenty Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses accompanying.


    In contrast, Deer Cry City''s side apart from Ye Yuan''s individual strength being unfathomable, there were virtually no powerhouses that were presentable.


    While Chu Shi, the few of them, had also just broken through to the Divine Traversing Realm. To make them deal with twenty over Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses in one go was still a little too forceful.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Leave all the Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses to me. The others . . . can you guys handle them or not?"


    "Hiss . . ." Chu Shi drew a cold breath when he heard.


    Looking at Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si again, their faces were both rather shocked.


    One person squaring off with twenty over Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses. Among them still had an Eighth Level Divine Traversing powerhouse. Wasn''t this a little too exaggerated?


    Hesitating for a moment, Chu Shi gritted his teeth and thumped his chest, saying, "How can we let Your Excellency take on so many powerhouses alone? Even though us brothers are lacking in strength, we can still accomplish storming the enemy lines! Those Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses, leave them to the Ye Family Army!"


    Although Chu Shi normally had quite a cynical attitude towards life, once he got serious, he still had quite an imposing manner.


    But the meaning in his words was also very clear. That was preparing to heap on human lives.


    Twenty over Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses. Definitely not all would be initial-stage Divine Traversing Realm. There was bound to be some that were middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm or even late-stage powerhouses!


    To make the Ye Family Army go and handle these people was indeed somewhat far-fetched.


    A Fourth Level Divine Traversing martial artist squandered 20 thousand Ye Family Army martial artists.


    The might of an expert Divine Traversing Realm was needless to say.


    Zhu Changzhi also said, "Yeah, my lord. You saying this is simply smacking our faces! The Ye Family Army''s lives were given by Your Excellency. We won''t hesitate to lay down our lives if need be!"


    Qian Si did not speak, but his firm look indicated everything.


    But Ye Yuan laughed when he saw the situation and said, "What are each and every one of you in such a hurry to seek your doom for? Huhu, just an Eighth Level Divine Traversing. How is it worth you all using your lives to suppress him? Are your lives so worthless?"


    ". . . . . ."


    Chu Shi and the two were speechless too. Dismissing an Eighth Level Divine Traversing so lightly, only Lord Ye Yuan dared to speak this way.


    But Ye Yuan''s words warmed their hearts.


    The meaning in Ye Yuan''s words was that their lives were even more valuable than an Eighth Level Divine Traversing powerhouse''s life!


    At least in Lord Ye Yuan''s heart, he felt this way!


    It was true that their lives were given by Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan did not use them as cannon fodders, but treated them as brothers instead!


    He would rather charge forward himself than treat the lives of his brothers as a joke!


    Chu Shi and the two secretly resolved in their hearts that even if they died, they would also not let Lord Ye Yuan suffered any bit of harm!


    Ye Yuan looked at them a little and said coolly, "Alright, don''t have this sort of expression. A million strong great army is not so easy to deal with either. Each and every one of you has to buck up for me! Since you guys call this great army Ye Family Army, don''t bring shame upon my face!"


    Chu Shi was startled inwardly when he heard. Straightening both legs, he clenched his teeth and said, "My lord, rest assured, we''ll let you take a look this time at the might of this Ye Family Army that you personally built!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright, I''ll have a look. These few days, how are the others training inside the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation?"


    The moment Chu Shi heard, he immediately grumbled, "My lord, not that I''m complaining about them, but these fellows are making too little progress! Their casualty rates are much higher than ours! In the end, who knows how many will be left. They have already been training for half a month and only trained 10 thousand plus people."


    These few days, Ye Yuan set up the Asura Tri-Pronged Formation anew to train those motley crew.


    But looking at it now, the effects were not very good.

 686 Absolute Strength

    However, this was also within Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    Back then, Ye Yuan''s drilling effects being that good at Crimsonlight City was because everyone was in a hopeless situation.


    Now that Ye Yuan secured a very large piece of area, there were quite a number of people who actually came to seek refuge with a mentality of being contented to retain sovereignty over a part of the country.


    Under such circumstances, how could there be that kind of effect?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head when he heard that and said, "Put in some effort. For those sitting around waiting to die, it''s fine to let them be as well. Soldiers depend on quality, not quantity."


    "Yes, my lord!"


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, the two realms'' great army were facing each other outside the borders of the new Tranquil Cloud Sect''s sphere of influence.


    The Fierce Gale World''s side was densely packed. As far as the eyes could see, it was all Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    In contrast, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s side only had a mere several tens of thousands of people, looking just like a small boat in a vast expanse of water; incomparably weak.


    The Fierce Gale World''s great army was orderly, displaying power and grandeur. One look and it was clear that they were well-trained.


    While the Endless World''s side, each and every one of them was very undisciplined and carefree, with a listless appearance; rather like a bunch of motley crew.


    No matter how one viewed it, the Endless World did not look like it had any chances of victory either.


    In the Fierce Gale World''s great army, there was person at the front that had long hair and a broad chest, elegant and poised. It was none other than the Fierce Gale World Xue Family''s family head, Xue Hongfei!


    When he saw Ye Yuan in the opposing party''s camp, his eyes involuntarily turned intent!


    "I didn''t think that the so-called Tranquil Cloud Sect whose limelight is currently in full bloom recently was actually egged on by this boy!" Xue Hongfei said rather surprisedly.


    "Commander actually knows this boy?" behind Xue Hongfei, a Seventh Level Divine Traversing powerhouse said in surprise.


    Xue Hongfei nodded and said, "If I point it out, you''ll naturally be aware too. This boy was that Ye Yuan who wreaked havoc in the capital that very day! When he was facing off with His Highness, the Seventh Price, I had observed him from far away before. Didn''t think that just a few years of not seeing, this boy has actually reached peak Soul Sea Realm already!"


    "It''s actually this boy! Back then when he was squaring off with the seventh price, he was merely just Crystal Formation Realm. Just how long has it been? He actually cultivated to peak Soul Sea Realm already!" exclaimed the Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses in shock.


    "En. This boy''s talent is indeed heaven-defying. Furthermore, his combat strength is staggering. According to our intel, even though this boy is just peak Soul Sea Realm, he possesses at least the strength to kill middle-stage Divine Traversing Realms!" Xue Hongfei said.


    Towards Ye Yuan''s combat strength, Xue Hongfei was not overly surprised.


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, if he could not cross boundaries to battle, that would be absurd!


    But Xue Hongfei did not take it to heart too much either. Even though he was only Eighth Level Divine Traversing, he still had the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, this level of unique trump card.


    To really talk about combat strength, he was even stronger than peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing!


    If he could not even take down a Ninth Level Soul Sea, that would also be too disgraceful.


    "En, so what if he can cross boundaries to battle? In front of Commander and our great army, everything collapses at the first blow! This time, we''ve dispatched all of our elites. If we can''t even take down these tens of thousands of people, that would simply be a joke!" said the subordinate with a contemptuous look.


    Xue Hongfei stroked his beard and smiled as he said, "What you said is right! Speaking of which, this Ye Yuan is also considered to have been a great help to us. Truly, wanting to take a nap even had somebody send a pillow. As long as we wipe out all of them in this fight, there would probably be no one else who dares to jump around in the Endless World!"


    "En. This boy''s reputation is so renowned. Didn''t think that he was a fool too! With his potential, properly find a place and enter a retreat and a few years'' time, he would be able to ascend to the Divine Realm. What do the matters of the Endless World have to do with him? Moreover, our great army is pressing down on the border this time. If he knows what''s good for him, he should also avoid the spearhead and slowly find a solution. Perhaps there might still be some hope. Now, he actually chose to strike the rock with an egg. Really foolish to the max!"


    Xue Hongfei said with a laugh, "You don''t look down on this boy. He most likely has some way of escape since he dares to fight with us head-on. In a moment, I''ll deal with him. You bring the other Divine Traversing Realms together and directly storm over! No matter what kind of schemes or intrigues he has, in front of absolute strength, it''s also useless!"


    "Yes, Commander!"


    Finished talking, Xue Hongfei''s figure moved as he flew out.


    Ye Yuan seeing the situation, flew out too, facing Xue Hongfei across a distance.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re a talented person. Do you still not have a clear understanding of the situation at this time until now? Why not you forsake darkness for the light now and I can spare you from death today!" Xue Hongfei said coolly, carrying the attitude of condescension.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that. No idea of life or death was talking about this guy in front of him, right?


    "You know me?"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised by him being able to call out his name readily. In his impression, he had not seen this person before.


    "On that day you had a great battle with His Highness, the Seventh Price, I was watching the fight far away on the sidelines," Xue Hongfei said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan came to a sudden realization when he heard that. He saw Xue Hongfei making frivolous remarks about his appearance with another person just now. Clearly, he had recognized him.


    Looks like there were still quite a number of people observing him in the shadows on that day in the capital.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, indicating that he understand the situation. He then said, "Old fellow, I''m giving you one last chance now. You can choose to forsake the darkness for the light. Don''t help the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds anymore. Zhao Tianyin''s days are already numbered and can''t jump around for many more days."


    Ye Yuan''s voice was very loud, spreading out directly.


    The Fierce Gale World''s million strong great army immediately gave off a burst of deafening jeering laughter when they heard this sentence of Ye Yuan''s.


    In their view, Ye Yuan''s brain was simply spoiled and could not figure out the situation at all.


    Such a person could actually become the commander-in-chief too?


    "Hahaha! He''s making us forsake the darkness for the light! Hahaha! I''m dying of laughter!"


    "To make a million strong great army surrender to tens of thousands of people. Is this guy sure that his brain is fine?"


    "You guys, look at their great army. Just a few lousy First Level Divine Traversings actually dare to spout such wild drivel! I really admire his courage!"


    Those Fierce Gale World''s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses all grinned from ear to ear.


    Before the big battle, having a bit of this kind of joke was also a kind of relief.


    Actually, not only them but even Chu Shi they all also felt embarrassed.


    Even though he had plenty of confidence in Ye Yuan, he seriously could not guess what kind of means Ye Yuan could use to win this great war between two worlds.


    Even if Ye Yuan could finish off the other party''s Eighth Level Divine Traversing, it was defeat with victory!


    If another person was swapped to stand in front of the formation, Chu Shi would have long brought his great army to run away.


    Only Ye Yuan could make him stand behind firmly.


    Xue Hongfei naturally just treated it as a joke to listen as well. He said to Ye Yuan with a chortle, "You also saw everybody''s reactions. But have you taken a look at the expressions of those martial artists behind you looking death calmly in the face? Looks like your own great army doesn''t harbor any hope in you as well!"


    Ye Yuan did not mind and said nonchalantly, "Looks like you''re choosing to resist stubbornly to the end? I already gave you the chance. It''s you yourself who didn''t know how to cherish it. Since that''s the case, then it can''t be blamed on me."


    Xue Hongfei burst into laughter and said, "Ye Yuan, I know that you have the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations. But even if your Origin Spirit Nine Transformations is any more powerful, it''s also unable to break through the fetters of Soul Sea Realm! While I . . ."


    Boom!


    Xue Hongfei''s aura erupted abruptly, his imposing momentum surging towards the clouds!


    Under everyone''s gaze, it actually broke right through to peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing!

 687 Your Turn to Perform

    "Turns out that you''re that whatever Xue Family''s family head."


    Regarding Xue Honghei knowing how to use the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, Ye Yuan felt a slight surprise, revealing an expression of coming to understand suddenly.


    Of course, he would not mind Xue Hongfei''s increase in strength too much.


    But Ye Yuan''s look of surprise was misread by Xue Hongfei as panic.


    "Huhu, only aware of it now huh . . . Too late!" Xue Hongfei had a look like everything was under control.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Is it too late? Why don''t I feel so . . . In this world, there are always some people who feel good about themselves."


    Xue Hongfei said with a cold smile, "Alright, enough jabbering. Do you think that I would fall for your trick?"


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "I forget that Zhao Chenggan that fellow said before, you can only last for an hour''s time using the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations. Huhu, however . . . this won''t even take an hour!"


    As he said this, Ye Yuan''s aura erupted abruptly, and used the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations at the same time!


    Very soon, his aura broke through to half-step Divine Traversing!


    "Half-step Divine Traversing is it . . . Maybe you''re still unaware of the disparity between peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing and half-step Divine Traversing, right? Forget it, I''ll send you on your way!"


    As he said, Xue Hongfei flicked his sleeves grandly and yelled out in a powerful and majestic voice, "Attack for me! Leave . . . nothing behind!"


    "Charge!"


    "Charge!"


    For a moment, the Fierce Gale World''s million strong great army''s battle-cry rose one after another, galloping towards Chu Shi they all.


    Those twenty over Divine Traversing Realm experts lined up in a row and entered first!


    These twenty over people joining hands was truly an irresistible onslaught.


    Yet, right at this time, two figures, one azure and one white, suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield, facing the Fierce Gale World''s assault head-on.


    This one azure one white figures were naturally Ye Qing and Yue Mengli.


    The earth-shaking million strong great army in other people''s eyes was not much different from ants in the eyes of these two people.


    It was only to see the two striked out two palms lightly, wrapped with enormous energy as it whirled away towards the Fierce Gale World''s great army!


    Boom!


    Those twenty over Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses were instantly killed without even letting out a miserable scream!


    And the pair''s palm force''s residual force had yet to reduce, blasting directly into the great army.


    For a moment, tragic cries rose one after another. It was also unknown how many lives were lost under these two palms.


    Xue Hongfei was just planning on making a move to deal with Ye Yuan. Seeing this scene, his eyes could not help becoming wide-saucers.


    This scene was too shocking!


    With a wave of a hand, twenty over Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses turned to ashes!


    How formidable a strength did this need?


    Those were Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses! The Endless World''s most powerful existences!


    Among them, there were even two Seventh Level Divine Traversings, and seven to eight middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses. Even if he confronted himself, under the circumstances of not using the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, it was also very hard to obtain victory.


    Those two people slaughtered them just like this?


    "What are you still in a daze for? Your turn to perform!" Seeing Chu Shi and the rest in a trance, Ye Yuan reminded them.


    "Ah? O-Oh . . . Alright!"


    Chu Shi''s expression was exactly the same as Xue Hongfei''s: mouth opened widely, staring at this scene disbelievingly.


    "All in a daze for what?! Attack together with this father of yours and screw these bunch of animals to death! Kill!"


    Chu Shi yelled out excitedly and took the lead to pounce over towards the Fierce Gale World''s great army.


    Zhu Changzhi and Qian Si had their thoughts linked up long ago and followed closely behind.


    With these three people helming, the others also recovered to their senses. Tens of thousands of people charged over towards the Fierce Gale World''s great army in mighty contingents.


    Saying that it was mighty contingents, actually, it did not even reach the other side''s fraction.


    In front of the million strong great army, their headcount was still pitifully little.


    It was just that at this time, the imposing momentum of these tens of thousands of people utterly outstripped the million strong great army.


    Ye Qing and Yue Mengli''s attack scared the crap out of the Fierce Gale World''s great army!


    The moment both sides came into contact, it became a one-sided massacre!


    Chu Shi they all, these people could be said to be veterans of a hundred battles already. Their cooperation with each other was already tacit to the extent that made people''s hair stand on end.


    These 30 thousand people that he brought over was absolutely even more powerful than 300 thousand, even a 500 thousand strong great army!


    Timing, geography, and human conditions all favored the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s great army. How could they not win?


    Rather, after Ye Qing and Yue Mengli''s one attack, they already lost interest in attacking once more and retreated to one side very conscientiously.


    This was also Ye Yuan intentionally instructing before. They only needed to take action once and leave the rest to him and the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s great army.


    Being oppressed for a long time, the Endless World needed a huge victory to raise morale.


    And a victory fought out with their own hands versus through other people''s hands, that sort of feeling was completely different!


    Moreover, an invincible master required countless battles to temper.


    The Fierce Gale World''s million strong great army was undoubtedly the best whetstone.


    Chu Shi trio group already broke through to Divine Traversing Realm originally. After both sides engaged in battle, it was akin to entering a place where no one puts up resistance. Places they passed through was like locusts passing through; not even fowls and dogs were spared.


    Even though the others did not reach their level, they were likewise incomparably incisive.


    Only that batch which was trained the most recently slightly appeared to be straining a bit.


    But their imposing momentum was already spurred on. Even though there were casualties, they likewise overshadowed their opponents.


    The moral of the troops was already lost. The million strong great army very quickly collapsed, clamoring to escape north. Who would be in the mood to carry on fighting?


    With this, the Fierce Gale World''s great army''s declining trend was even more beyond recovery.


    The great battle which originally had a great disparity in strength became a one-sided massacre!


    When Xue Hongfei saw this scene, he even had the thought to die.


    The previous moment, he was still smug with his own success and thought that he was an elephant, and that stepping the Tranquil Cloud Sect, this ant, to death, was as easy as blowing off dust.


    But in just an instant, both sides switched!


    How could Xue Hongfei still be in the mood to fight with Ye Yuan? Releasing his ssence energy, he wanted to flee away.


    Yet, how could his speed compare to Ye Yuan''s? He had yet to make a move, and he had his path cut off by Ye Yuan.


    "Since it''s a battle, you have to be attentive. You will suffer a huge loss with your mind being preoccupied with other things!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xue Hongfei''s expression flickered erratically. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly roared, "Starfire Ablazing Prairie! Go to hell!"


    This move, Ye Yuan had experienced before from his son, Xue Zaihe.


    However, when Xue Hongfei unleashed it at this time, the power could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Xue Hongfei compressed the essence fire within his body to the extreme, then abruptly exploded it. It was sufficient to eradicate any powerhouse under Ninth Level Divine Traversing!


    But sadly, Ye Yuan was half-step Divine Traversing Realm right now!


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan already utilized this move to the extent of mastery. Unleashing with half-step Divine Traversing strength, it actually scattered Xue Hongfei''s Starfire Ablazing Prairie in all directions instantly!


    Bang!


    This punch smashed heavily onto Xue Hongfei''s body!


    A peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing powerhouse actually could not last one move under Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Xue Hongfei who received this punch was already severely wounded.


    Ye Yuan floated down gently beside him and flashed him a grin. An incomparably overbearing divine soul attack abruptly attacked towards Xue Hongfei''s sea of consciousness!


    "Soul Searching Art!"


    Ye Yuan tore open Xue Hongfei''s sea of consciousness tyrannically, wanting to carry out a soul search on Xue Hongfei.


    But right then, Xue Hongfei suddenly gave a wretched cry!I have no idea what the author means. Sufficient to kill anyone under Ninth Level Divine Traversing but Ye Yuan is half-step Divine Traversing? Even if I interpret it as a typo and put eradicate anyone under Ninth Level Soul Sea, doesn''t make sense since Xue Hongfei is peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing, and he should be able to easily kill anyone Sixth Level and below. Just, er, go along with it, kay?

 688 Zhou Yan

    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and instantly pulled back his divine sense.


    Xue Hongfei gave a miserable cry, then his legs went stiff and did not move any longer.


    Evidently, Xue Hongfei was already deader than dead.


    That moment just now, Ye Yuan wanted to use Soul Searching Art on Xue Hongfei, but Xue Hongfei''s divine soul gave off an extremely terrifying aura.


    Following that, his divine soul was directly ground up.


    If not for Ye Yuan retreating in time, he would probably be affected too.


    "Ye Yuan, what is it?" Ye Qing and Yue Mengli also detected Ye Yuan''s oddness and came forward to ask.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "I originally wanted to search his soul, wanting to see if there''s information about my parents. I didn''t expect that his divine soul had restrictions placed by people. The moment I executed the Soul Searching Art, it immediately triggered the restrictions, and his soul disintegrated."


    Yue Mengli was slightly surprised as she said, "This person''s strength absolutely belongs to the apex existences in the Lower Realms. How could he possibly willingly have people lay down such restrictions?"


    Soul disintegrating was being unable to enter the natural cycle of samsara. Even if there were only a glimmer of hope to survive, the martial artist would also not possibly be willing to have people lay down such restrictions.


    Furthermore, Xue Hongfei''s strength was even stronger than ordinary Ninth Level Divine Traversings. Who could compel him to have this kind of restriction laid down?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "He should have had the restrictions placed by people under circumstances where he was unaware! This sort of method is very covert. With his strength, he''s simply unable to detect it."


    Yue Mengli could not help being surprised when she heard that, "To be able to place restrictions on the divine soul of an Eighth Level Divine Traversing, even that Zhao Tianyin can''t accomplish that either, right?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and silently acknowledged Yue Mengli''s conjecture.


    Even though Zhao Tianyin was a Boundless Realm powerhouse, to want to place such restrictions on the divine soul of Xue Hongfei without a sound, it simply could not be done.


    "Heh, looks like this Fierce Gale World''s upper echelons was most likely controlled by people behind the scenes long ago! If my conjectures are right, Zhao Tianyin is also merely a chess piece," Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "This . . . Zhao Tianyin is a Boundless Realm martial artist. If even he is being controlled . . ." Yue Mengli was very astonished by Ye Yuan''s conjecture.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This matter probably can''t shake off relations with the Divine Realm. It''s just that, no idea what force is manipulating behind, and also what kind of objective there is. These people stirring up so many things in the Lower Realms, what they are coveting is probably huge. Looks like these few years, the Divine Realm isn''t that calm either!"


    Those years during the previous life''s Ye Yuan was at the Divine Realm, the various top forces were basically all in a state of equilibrium.


    Even if there were clashes occasionally, it was also just some small issues.


    The Medicine King Hall''s destruction was likely the most sensational thing that happened these few years in the Divine Realm.


    Yet, there were people inciting a war between two worlds and collecting sanguine power. What they were coveting was probably not small!


    Ye Yuan guessed that such an incident happening between the Fierce Gale World and Endless World was likely not an exception.


    In the other small worlds, there were probably also quite a number of such incidents that happened.


    But even if he had some conjectures, Ye Yuan was also strong in will, only lacking in power right now.


    His strength had already roughly reached the pinnacle in the Lower Realms. But when placed in the Divine Realm, it was just the start.


    Much still remained to be done!


    . . . . . .


    Three days later, the great battle was concluded!


    Chu Shi led the Tranquil Cloud Sect great army and pursued for a distance of ten thousand miles, eliminating nearly half of the Fierce Gale World martial artists!


    The moment a sovereign was enraged, corpses floated for ten thousand miles!


    The present Ye Yuan was already the Endless World''s well-deserving sovereign!


    Through this battle, the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s fame exploded in the entire Endless World, immediately spreading throughout the entire Endless World.


    Fully exterminating twenty over Fierce Gale World Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses! Defeating the Fierce Gale World''s million strong great army with a 40 thousand army!


    Who else in the Endless World could create such glorious military exploits apart from Ye Yuan?


    And just as Ye Yuan expected, through this campaign, the Endless World martial artists'' confidence was established once again. Major and minor forces everywhere emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.


    These forces carried out frenzied counterattacks on the Fierce Gale World. For some time, the Endless World became battlefronts everywhere.


    Of course, this battle made the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s reputation soar even more. The forces and itinerant cultivators that came forth to join the Tranquil Cloud Sect were too many to count.


    But Ye Yuan was not concerned with these mundane affairs. There were naturally people like Chu Shi they all to go and manage.


    This Deer Cry City was just a temporary residential place. Ye Yuan''s thoughts were still placed on Wu Fang City.


    Recuperating for a few days, Ye Yuan gave the order for the army to set off and rush straight for Wu Fang City!


    The night before the army moved out, the moon was bright with few stars. Ye Yuan was currently enjoying this hard to come by peace.


    "Ye Yuan, you don''t have to worry. Uncle and Aunty, they are good people who will be blessed by heaven. They will be fine!"


    Yue Mengli was a quick-witted girl. Even though Ye Yuan did not show it all along these few days, she knew that Ye Yuan''s inner heart was anxious constantly.


    If not for this, with Ye Yuan''s disposition, he would not let Chu Shi they all be so heavy-handed towards the Fierce Gale World''s great army either.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed as he said, "I secretly swore in my heart before, to not let my kin suffer any harm again. Yet . . . I still didn''t accomplish it in the end."


    Yue Mengli said, "You''ve already done sufficiently well! Zhao Tianyin they all are the main culprits! It was all my fault. If I knew it would be like this long ago, I should have directly killed him back then!"


    Ye Yuan turned around to look at Yue Mengli. He said with a smile, "Li-er, you''re thoughtful and understanding. How can this matter be blamed on you? I know that you wanted to leave Zhao Tianyin for me to dispose of personally. I can''t even wait to thank you, why would I blame you?"


    Yue Mengli''s face turned red, but said, "These few days, I see that you have no appetite for food and drinks. I''m really quite worried about you. Some things, saying it out might be a little more alleviating instead."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Thanks a lot for Li-er''s concern. I''m fine."


    Ye Yuan looked straight at Yue Mengli, but it made a blush appear on her face, and she could not resist nodding and lowering her eyebrows in an obeisant manner.


    Under the contrast of the moonlight, Yue Mengli''s beauty was unparalleled.


    Even Ye Yuan also had no choice but to admit that this woman made him somewhat moved.


    For a moment, the atmosphere became rather ambiguous.


    "Heh, to dare snatch my, Zhou Yan''s, woman, really tired of living!"


    Not far away, a youth tore apart the void directly and revealed his figure, thoroughly shattering this ambiguous atmosphere.


    And that thick jealousy and killing intent in his words could not be concealed no matter what.


    Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli''s expressions changed at the same time. Someone was spying on them in the void, and not a single one of them actually discovered it!


    "Zhou Yan! Why is it you?!" Yue Mengli turned pale with fear.


    Zhou Yan did not pay attention to Yue Mengli. Instead, his gaze stared dead at Ye Yuan.


    Facing this Zhou Yan, Ye Yuan practically felt like he was almost asphyxiating. The other party''s might was simply not what the present Ye Yuan could contend with!


    Zhou Yan looked at Ye Yuan. A bundle of flames suddenly leaped out from his eyes!


    "Don''t!"


    Yue Mengli screamed in fear and unleashed the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye without any hesitation!


    Boom!


    Even with the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye neutralizing, it still did not block this attack of Zhou Yan''s. The air around Ye Yuan suddenly exploded, blasting him flying out directly.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.

 689 Todays Humiliation

    Yue Mengli already blocked most of the attack for Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan was still beaten to heavy injuries!


    "Vastsun Flameheart Pupil! Very good! I''ll remember this!" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Zhou Yan gave Ye Yuan a glance rather surprisedly and said coolly, "A measly little aboriginal actually knows the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil. Looks like the things Li-er told you are really quite a fair bit! But do you think that your threat is effective on me?"


    Zhou Yan was filled with enmity towards Ye Yuan, revealing his killing intent!


    "Ugh . . ."


    Yue Mengli suddenly held her face with her hand, her expression revealing a pained state.


    Zhou Yan could not help being greatly alarmed when he saw the situation and hurriedly said, "Li-er, what''s wrong with you?"


    "Don''t come over!" Yue Mengli reproached lightly.


    But Zhou Yan completely ignored Yue Mengli''s warning and wanting to come over and support her very overbearingly.


    Suddenly, a cold light flashed. A sharp dagger was already pressed on Yue Mengli''s neck, but the hand holding the dagger was her own.


    Zhou Yan only stopped his footsteps when he saw. Her expression was dark as she said, "Zhou Yan, if you dare touch him, I''ll die in front of you!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression fell, and he said, "Li-er, what''s the meaning of this? Our engagement was fixed by the two Zhou and Yue family''s family heads!"


    "That''s their problem. What has it got to do with me?!" Yue Mengli said with an obstinate look.


    Seeing Yue Mengli''s attitude, Zhou Yan was unable to contain his anger and said, "Yue Mengli! How am I, Zhou Yan, not good enough for you? In terms of background, I''m the noble son of a Rank One Holyland. In terms of strength, I''m also sufficient to rank in the top 10 among the Divine Realm''s young generation! Could it be that I still can''t compare to a Lower Realm''s aboriginal in your heart?"


    The ambiguity between Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli earlier, Zhou Yan took it all into his eyes.


    Nothing gave him a greater blow than such a scene.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was merely an aboriginal. At most, he was a genius martial artists among aboriginals.


    But in his perspective as a Divine Realm''s young generation''s pinnacle powerhouse, Ye Yuan was a trash, the lowest among the lowest!


    Zhou Yan was simply unable to accept Yue Mengli liking an aboriginal rather than him, this fact.


    Hence, he wanted to kill Ye Yuan virtually without giving the chance to explain at all just now.


    Hearing Zhou Yan''s words, Yue Mengli could not help looking at Ye Yuan, her face flushed red.


    How was there that sort of relation that Zhou Yan said between her and Ye Yuan?


    But this scene landing in Zhou Yan''s eyes was a tremendous mockery!


    "I''m going to kill this aboriginal today and sever this notion of yours!"


    As he said, the look in Zhou Yan''s eyes danced once again. Clearly, he was going to unleash the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil''s move.


    "You dare?!"


    The dagger in Yue Mengli''s hand pierced a little deeper. A wisp of fresh blood ran down along the dagger, dripping onto her blouse, appearing shocking.


    Zhou Yan''s expression involuntarily changed, but the flames in his eyes died down.


    Yue Mengli''s action put him at a complete loss on what to do.


    Zhou Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Li-er, even if you''re able to stop me from making a move today, you also can''t possibly guard against me for a lifetime! You should know our Zhou Family''s strength. Wanting to kill a Lower Realm''s aboriginal is too easy! Also, even if I don''t take action today, do you think that Uncle Yue will freely allow his own daughter to fall for an aboriginal? You should be clear, it''s impossible . . . between you guys! If Uncle Yue knows your affairs, even if I don''t take action, he would probably not leave it unchecked either, right?"


    Li-er''s entire body involuntarily trembled when she heard that!


    Li-er turned her head and gave Ye Yuan a complicated look, then suddenly say, "Zhou Yan, actually, there isn''t anything between Ye Yuan and me. You misunderstood yourself!"


    Zhou Yan''s eyes narrowed. Clearly, he did not believe Li-er''s words, "Li-er, are you insulting my intelligence?"


    Li-er suddenly shook her head with a stern countenance and said, "I''m not insulting your intelligence. It''s you yourself who didn''t figure out the situation! Ye Yuan, he, is my good friend that I got acquainted with in the Lower Realms, and also the only alchemist who can treat the terminal illness in my body! If you kill him, it will be equivalent to killing me!"


    Zhou Yan said with a cold sneer, "Just the alchemy emperors in the Divine Realm are abundant. Could it be that they all added up still can''t compare to an aboriginal brat?"


    Li-er said, "They really can''t compare! I believe that you''ve already heard, these few years, my body''s condition has been deteriorating steadily. For this, Father invited many alchemy emperors to treat me, but not a single one was able to diagnose where my ailment lied! Nevertheless, I encountered Ye Yuan. Not only did he diagnose where my ailment lied, he even gave the treatment method! In this world, there might only be him alone who can treat my illness! You killing him is no different from killing me!"


    Zhou Yan clearly did not believe Yue Mengli''s words and said with a cold laugh, "He, an aboriginal brat, is actually even more formidable than those alchemy emperors?"


    But Li-er did not put down the dagger in her hand and said coolly, "Zhou Yan, I''ll go back with you! I''ll tell you now, my malady is caused by two kinds of spirit physiques tearing my divine soul. After returning to the Divine Realm, you can invite an alchemy emperor to come forward and diagnose me. If anyone is able to treat my illness, I have nothing to say either if you touch Ye Yuan again! But if you kill him, I''d also lose the hope to live on. But before dying, I''ll tell Father that you caused my death! This aftermath, you bear it yourself!"


    Hearing Li-er''s words, Zhou Yan''s expression changed, and he said, "Are you threatening me?"


    Li-er said with a cold smile, "What a joke! You want to kill the person who is saving my life, but say that I''m threatening you. Zhou Yan, aren''t you too overbearing?"


    Zhou Yan''s expression flickered incessantly as he looked at Ye Yuan. But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I promise you not to kill him for the time being! After returning, I''ll let Father invite Master Quan Xingzi to come and treat you. If I discover that you''re bluffing me today, you should know the consequences!"


    When Yue Mengli heard Quan Xingzi''s name, her heart involuntarily palpitated.


    This Quan Xingzi was the Divine Realm Alchemist Association''s Lord Vice-Chairman. His Alchemy Path strength was exceedingly high.


    Yue Mengli did not think that Zhou Yan would actually lay down such capital.


    She could not resist looking over at Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan gave her a steady glance.


    Not knowing why, this glance instantly calmed Yue Mengli''s heart right down.


    Zhou Yan looked at Ye Yuan with unspeakable jealousy and fury.


    Even since the first time he laid eyes on Yue Mengli, he was awestruck by her fairy-like looks.


    But all the way until now, Yue Mengli had not given him a kind expression before.


    What was given to him was all precaution and vigilance.


    But the thing that he did not obtain, Ye Yuan actually obtained all of it!


    As for Yue Mengli''s words, Zhou Yan did not believe at all.


    Master Quan Xingzi was a peak Alchemy Emperor. He did not believe that Master Quan Xingzi personally taking action would be unable to treat the so-called terminal illness on Yue Mengli''s body!


    At that time, see what reasons Yue Mengli still had to prevent him from killing him!


    Zhou Yan looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Brat, you best pray that Master Quan Xingzi can''t treat Li-er''s injuries! Otherwise, you''ll die very miserably!"


    Ye Yuan did not speak the entire time. Before having sufficient strength, all threats were nonsense.


    But the humiliation that Zhou Yan brought to him today, he remembered it profoundly!

 690 Wait for Me in the Divine Realm!

    Regarding Zhou Yan''s threat, Ye Yuan did not have too much of an indication.


    His mind stirred, and he let Ye Qing out.


    "Ye Qing, Li-er needs some Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid," Ye Yuan said to Ye Qing.


    "Oh, here."


    Ye Qing took out some Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid very generously but became very vigilant against the Zhou Yan whose depths could not be perceived.


    Ye Yuan received the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid and came right in front of Yue Mengli, saying, "Thank you very much for your life-saving grace. However . . . I assure you, this is the last time! Open up!"


    Yue Mengli took a look at Ye Yuan, opening her mouth very obediently.


    Ye Yuan did not say much. He just poured the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid into her mouth.


    The Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid entered her abdomen, but Yue Mengli''s divine soul which was being torn just now became much better off. Her expression also became rosy.


    From start to end, Ye Yuan''s expression was calm.


    But Yue Mengli knew that Zhou Yan''s actions earlier had thoroughly infuriated Ye Yuan.


    Perhaps in Zhou Yan''s eyes, Ye Yuan was only an aboriginal. But Yue Mengli knew that he possessed even more heaven-defying talent that the Divine Realm''s geniuses.


    Today''s setback would only make Ye Yuan rise up more quickly.


    Zhou Yan took all of this into his eyes but did not stop anything.


    He was no fool. Earlier, after Yue Mengli employed the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, her entire person became worn-out, and her complexion became very pale.


    Drinking the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid that Ye Yuan brought over at this time, Yue Mengli''s complexion immediately became much better.


    Looks like Yue Mengli seemed to have really gotten some disease and was unable to make use of the power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye.


    At this moment, he could not help believing Yue Mengli''s words a little more.


    "Boy, I''m speaking to you. Didn''t you hear?" Ye Yuan''s disregard made Zhou Yan feel very enraged.


    In his view, when Ye Yuan faced him, it should be trembling in fear and trepidation, even kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s reaction was too quiet. Quiet until . . . it made him actually get a little indescribably flustered!


    This sort of feeling was seriously too bizarre.


    Ye Yuan still did not pay attention to Zhou Yan. He turned his head and said to Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, from today onwards, you''ll go to the Divine Realm together with Li-er! Remember, you mustn''t let her out of your sight!"


    Ye Qing was very ignorant about worldly affairs. But he had also detected that the present atmosphere was kind of odd.


    This young man in front of him was too powerful!


    He had already evolved to Tier 7 but still felt that the other party was unfathomable.


    Seeing Ye Yuan say it solemnly, Ye Qing nodded and said, "You set your mind at ease. What I promised you, I''ll definitely accomplish it!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Although the time they stayed together was not long, he was still very trusting of Ye Qing.


    Following that, Ye Yuan suddenly turned his head around and said to Zhou Yan, "Carefully put away that arrogance of yours! If you want the Yue Family and Zhou Family to have an all-out war, you can feel free to kill me now!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression changed, and he said with a snicker, "What a laughable aboriginal! Do you think that you can make this young master scared with a few words?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not only does Li-er possess the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, but she''s also even burdened with the Innate Battle Soul Physique! You killing me is equal to ruining the only hope the Yue Family has to rise up! Do you think that the Yue Family will have an all-out war with your Zhou Family or not?"


    "What Innate Battle Soul Physique? Truly absurd nonsense!"


    Even in the Divine Realm, the Innate Battle Soul Physique was only known by an extremely small number of people as well.


    And this extremely small number of people clearly did not include Zhou Yan.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "Ignorant and ill-informed! You can go back and ask Zhou Jia what the Innate Battle Soul Physique is! Even though Quan Xingzi that fellow is a little pedantic, he can still discern the Innate Battle Soul Physique!"


    A terrifying aura undulated out. Zhou Yan had yet to make a move, and the entire space actually started to warp!


    "How can an aboriginal like you dare to address my father''s name directly without honorifics?" Zhou Yan said it word by word.


    Ye Yuan felt like he was almost suffocating. But his face still had an indifferent look as he said nonchalantly, "People adopt names to be called. What do I call him if not Zhou Jia? If you have the capabilities, kill me right now. Otherwise . . . put that away for me!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yue Mengli was so anxious that her heart was almost about to leap out.


    She really did not expect that Ye Yuan actually dared to incite Zhou Yan like this.


    Once Zhou Yan really got angry, even at her prime, she could not stop him too.


    Ye Yuan''s pride was even above her expectations!


    Facing Zhou Yan this sort of peerless powerhouse, Yue Mengli thought that Ye Yuan would have some restraint and tolerate for some time.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of tolerating at all, but chose to give tit for tat!


    Zhou Yan''s expression flickered erratically. The entire space started twisting and warping under his aura.


    He was seriously unable to tolerate an aboriginal actually being so insolent in front of him.


    But if what Ye Yuan said was true, he really could not handle the two families having an all-out war, this sort of thing.


    The Divine Realm''s various forces mutually restricted each other and could not tolerate the slightest bit of mistake.


    Even his father, Zhou Jia, also tread as if on thin ice.


    Suddenly, the aura on Zhou Yan''s body was put away, and he said with Ye Yuan with a cold voice, "Today, I''ll spare your little life on account of Li-er''s face! Wait until we return to the Divine Realm, we''ll naturally know if what you said is true or false! At that time, you wouldn''t be able to fly away even if you had wings!"


    Finished talking, Zhou Yan suddenly unleashed the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was sent flying out directly, spewing out a mouthful of blood once more.


    "Ye Yuan!" Yue Mengli and Ye Qing cried out in a chorus.


    "Relax, he won''t die! I just planted the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil''s mark on his body. If there are other people who can treat your illness, he naturally doesn''t have the need to remain in this world anymore! Li-er, we should go!" Zhou Yan said coldly.


    Finished talking, Zhou Yan rend with one hand and actually broke apart space directly, manifesting a huge door.


    Yue Mengli was worried about Ye Yuan''s safety, but Zhou Yan did not give her time to stay.


    Ye Yuan clutched his chest and stood up. Gasping for air, he said, "Relax, I won''t die! Wait for me in the Divine Realm!"


    Yue Mengli had tears running down her face as she nodded her hand and following Zhou Yan into the spatial passageway.


    Ye Qing gave Ye Yuan a glance rather worriedly and said somberly, "Take care, Ye Yuan!"


    After the three people entered the spatial passageway, that huge door disappeared along with it too, as if Zhou Yan had never appeared before. Ye Yuan stared at the space which had already recovered back to how it was and was silent for a long time.


    "My lord, are you alright?"


    "My lord, you . . . you''re injured!"


    "Who is it? To actually be able to heavily wound His Excellency?"


    Chu Shi and the rest had an after-sensation and felt that this place seemed to have some activities, so they hurried over.


    Who knew that upon looking, Ye Yuan was actually beaten to severe injuries and they could not help turning pale with fright.


    They all knew Ye Yuan''s strength now. To be able to beat Ye Yuan until like this and cause such a small commotion, how powerful a strength did the other party have to have?


    Being struck by the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil in succession, Ye Yuan was also faint and weak at this time.


    "I-It''s fine. Help me to the hidden chamber! The army, postpone departure for three days!"

 691 Ism Coming Right In!

    "Family Head, that Ye Yuan has been pressing on with an overwhelming momentum the entire way. He is already closing in on Wu Fang City!"


    At the City Lord Manor of Wu Fang City, Shangguan Wenrui was sitting composedly. A Shangguan Family''s Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse was currently reporting the movements of Ye Yuan''s great army at this time.


    Shangguan Wenrui smiled and said, "Just a puny little Ye Yuan. No matter how strong he is, can he still match our ten great half-step Boundless powerhouses?"


    That subordinate was rather perplexed. Family Head was clearly still burning with anxiety yesterday. Why did he have an indifferent appearance today?


    The news of the million strong great army being defeated was transmitted over. The entire Wu Fang City was on tenterhooks.


    As the main commander invading the Endless World, Shangguan Wenrui was like an ant on a hot pan a few days back, pacing around anxiously.


    In Ye Yuan''s great army had two powerhouses with unfathomable strength. Just using one attack, they obliterated all the Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses.


    This was the news brought back by the great army which came back in defeat.


    In comparison, the news of Ye Yuan killing Xue Hongfei alone did not appear that astounding.


    Very clearly, what Shangguan Wenrui dreaded were those two mighty powerhouses!


    But what kind of situation was this today?


    "Family Head, according to what the troops who came back in defeat said, those two powerhouses'' strength were overwhelming. Annihilating Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses doesn''t need the slightest effort at all. Could it be that . . . Family Head isn''t worried at all?" The subordinate could not help asking curiously.


    Shangguan Wenrui stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Powerhouse? What powerhouse? Hahaha . . ."


    ". . . . . ."


    The subordinate was speechless. He really could not figure out where Family Head''s confidence came from.


    "Alright, you set your mind at ease! Wait until Ye Yuan comes, I''ll definitely make him never return!" Shangguan Wenrui said with a loud chortle.


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, Ye Yuan pressed on all the way like splitting a bamboo, routing the Fierce Gale World great army along the way utterly. Finally, the army approached Wu Fang City.


    Currently, this grand and magnificent large city was still the same city, but no longer held by the same people.


    Ye Yuan initially thought that along the way, there would be experts from the Three Sects coming over to join him.


    However, such a long time passed, but Ye Yuan did not encounter a single person. This made a trace of foreboding premonition arise in his heart.


    His commotion along the way was massive. Logically speaking, there had to be some powerhouses who heard the news and came over.


    Then there were only two types of possibilities. One was that they went to hide in an extremely remote place and were unable to obtain the Endless World''s news. The other type was . . . These people were already completely wiped out, maybe even . . .


    The last type of outcome, Ye Yuan did not even dare to go and think.


    If it really happened, then even if he skinned Zhao Tianyin alive, it made no difference too.


    The top of Wu Fang City''s walls, an elderly person was facing Ye Yuan across a distance. It was precisely Shangguan Wenrui.


    "Ye Yuan, I really didn''t expect that in just a short two to three year''s time, you actually have the qualifications to be on equal footing with me already! Even though I don''t know why His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, wanted to let you go back then, without a doubt, that was the greatest mistake that he made!" Shangguan Wenrui said.


    "Oh? Looks like my battle with Zhao Chenggan back then, you were watching the fight by the side too?" Ye Yuan figured out the links in-between very quickly.


    Shangguan Wenrui did not have the intention of hiding either. He nodded his head and said, "That''s right! With your talent, if we can''t become friends, you must be erased! I thought that with His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, moving out personally, you were dead for sure. Who knew that later on, news actually spread out that you escaped alive, making me quite astonished!"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Not that Zhao Tianyin didn''t want to, but he couldn''t accomplish it! However . . . wait until I take care of you all. I''ll naturally go and find him to settle this score!"


    Shangguan Wenrui laughed and said, "Huhu, at this sort of time, do you still want to assume the majesty of the tiger? Your natural endowments are pretty good, but your cultivation realm is still a little low in the end. Do you think that you can contend with the entire Fierce Gale World by yourself?"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied and said rather bewilderedly, "Assuming the majesty of the tiger?"


    Shangguan Wenrui only took it as Ye Yuan playing the fool and said with a smile, "Those two mighty experts by your side are already not around. Just the likes of you, a peak Ninth Level Soul Sea, want to overturn the raging tides? Heroes are not that easy to be!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "So, in between this still had Zhao Tianyin playing tricks! And I was wondering . . . Looks like this feud is growing deeper!"


    These few days, Ye Yuan found it odd all along how Zhou Yan found Yue Mengli.


    Didn''t think that there was actually still Zhao Tianyin''s work in-between this!


    Looks like he was fearful of Yue Mengli, so he thought of a way to inform the Divine Realm first.


    Yue Mengli''s Moonlight Heavenly Eye was too conspicuous and very easy to identify.


    Even if Zhao Tianyin did not recognize the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, the Divine Realm people behind him definitely knew.


    Therefore, there was that spectacle several days back!


    This Zhao Tianyin was truly abominable to the extreme!


    Shangguan Wenrui smiled and said, "Truly, the young ones are unbridled! Just based on your current strength, could it be that you wish to contend with a Boundless Realm powerhouse?"


    Ye Yuan already recovered his cool at this time and said nonchalantly, "That isn''t what you should worry about. You better think about how to cross this hurdle today!"


    Shangguan Wenrui burst into laughter and said, "Without those two super powerhouses, I really don''t know where your self-confidence comes from, to dare be so cocky in front of me! You take a look at who they are!"


    Shangguan Wenrui showed a hand gesture. A group of people was brought up to the top of the city walls.


    When Ye Yuan saw that group of people, his expression involuntarily darkened!


    Ren Xingchun, Qin Hongtao, Ning Yixian, Jing Xuan . . . One familiar face after another made Ye Yuan''s face unable to resist convulsing.


    When his gaze landed on the last person, he could not help being stunned.


    Qi Hai!


    Qi Hai was a half-step Boundless Realm powerhouse. He actually fell into the enemy''s hands in Wu Fang City too?


    Was the Fierce Gale World''s strength this formidable?


    But Ye Yuan knew that Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless Realm!


    Ye Yuan looked at those formerly high and mighty Endless World powerhouses on the top of city walls. They actually all ended up as the Fierce Gale World''s captives!


    Each and every one of them had their dantians sealed currently and were trussed up tightly. Don''t talk about how embarrassing that appearance was.


    Shangguan Lingyun pointed at those people behind and said coolly, "Shangguan Yunrong and Shangguan Lingyun both died at your hands. Because of you, my Shangguan Family''s strength had heavy losses. The heaven has eyes, to send you in front of me!"


    Shangguan Wenrui was clearly that sort of people with extremely scheming minds. Even though he hated Ye Yuan tremendously already, he was calm and collected when speaking. One could not perceive the rage in his heart at all.


    Only now did Ye Yuan know that turns out this old man in front of him was the Shangguan Family''s Family Head.


    Shangguan Wenrui said with a smile, "Ye Yuan, do you see this Wu Fang City''s grand array? Why don''t we play a game, how about that?"


    Ye Yuan did not speak, quietly waiting for what followed, wanting to take a look at what this fellow was trying to accomplish.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not reply, Shangguan Wenrui continued, "This Wu Fang City''s grand array was left by the Grand Yan True Sect who sealed the realm passageway back then. Its might is incomparably powerful! Starting from now, I''ll kill a person every ten breaths of time, all the way until you breach the grand array. How is it?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. Was this guy a moron . . .


    "You don''t need to count. I''m coming right in!" Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out.

 692 Pummeling All the Same

    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished on the spot. When it appeared again, it actually arrived in front of Ren Xingchun they all already!


    The city protecting grand array which Shangguan Wenrui pinned high hopes on actually did not have the slightest effect!


    The falling petals which covered the skies drifted about. Those Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses guarding the prisoners were directly obliterated by Ye Yuan like this!


    Then, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, putting these people away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    All of this was done in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Shangguan Wenrui was still in shock and actually did not react in time.


    One had to know that in order to crack this Wu Fang City''s grand array, they had prepared for a very long time. Furthermore, they did not leak any information at all beforehand, dispatching ten great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses for a surprise raid, before breaching the grand array.


    After the matter, they mobilized over ten Tier 5 array masters before restoring this grand array.


    Even though it did not reach the power when it was at its peak, it at least had 80% power too!


    But this grand array actually could not even accomplish stopping Ye Yuan for a moment?


    This . . . Surely this is all a dream, right?


    "People have to pay the price for their own stupidity! The thing that you rely on is utterly worthless before me!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "This . . . How is this possible?" Shangguan Wenrui was still unbelievably shocked right now.


    Ye Yuan said, "You know that this grand array was left behind by the Grand Yan True Sect, but you don''t know that the Grand Yan True Sect''s legacy is in my hands! How can a mere city protecting grand array stop me?"


    "What? You . . . You acquired the Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance!" Shangguan Wenrui exclaimed in shock.


    The Shangguan Wenrui at this moment was like a clown.


    He wanted to let Ye Yuan see his kin and friends die one by one in front of him, that sort of pain. But then he discovered that he was actually lifting a rock to smash his own feet.


    This sect protecting grand array was even worse than paper!


    How could Shangguan Wenrui have thought that all of the Grand Yan True Sect''s grand arrays were born from the Array Formations Three Volumes?


    Although this city protecting grand array was a Quasi-Tier 6 grand array, it was still only a part of the Array Formations Three Volumes.


    How could such a thing stop Ye Yuan''s footsteps?


    Shangguan Wenrui had the bearing of a fierce and ambitious person too. After the shock, he calmed down very quickly and said with a cold snort, "Humph! So what even if you acquired the Grand Yan True Sect''s inheritance? Today, this Wu Fang City will be your burial ground! All come out for me!"


    Nine figures suddenly flew out from inside the city, bringing an outrageous aura.


    These nine figures were actually all half-step Boundless Realm!


    Half-step Boundless was absolutely an existence which showed disdain on all life in the Endless World. This point, just think about how powerful Qi Hai was back then and one would know.


    But now, ten of such half-step Boundless powerhouses actually came out all at once. Such a line-up was seriously too extravagant.


    Only at this time did Ye Yuan know why even Qi Hai could not escape.


    Previously, he heard that it was ten great peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing powerhouses who suddenly raided Wu Fang City. Ye Yuan was still rather uncertain.


    Looking at it now, it was simply an error in the rumors!


    Wu Fang City''s fall was too sudden. The titans in the city were rounded up in one fell sweep. No accurate news was spread out at all.


    The intel spread out were all derived through countless times of development.


    In the eyes of the Endless World martial artists, ten peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses were already absolutely powerful existences under this heaven.


    How could they imagine that the Fierce Gale World actually had ten half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses?


    Such a line-up, those martial artists passing on the message did not even dare to think about it.


    Ten half-step Boundless Realms joining hands to crack the array, how was there the logic of this Wu Fang City''s city protecting grand array not cracking?


    Wu Fang City''s history was even longer than the Grand Yan True Sect''s. In the era where the Grand Yan True Sect dominated the Endless World, Wu Fang City spent a huge sum to invite the Grand Yan True Sect to lay down the city protecting grand array anew.


    However, even though this city protecting grand array was powerful, it could not possibly stop ten half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses too.


    Even in the Grand Yan True Sect''s era, the Endless World could not bring out such a horrifying line-up either.


    "Ye Yuan, looks like I still really underestimated you! However, it ends here too!" Shangguan Wenrui said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I already said, you have to pay the price for your stupidity! Do you think that I''m able to stand here merely by relying on the strength of those two friends? Today, I''ll let you know how much more you''ve bitten off than you can chew!"


    "Hahaha . . . I want to see just how you let me know that I''ve bitten off more than I can chew! Do you think that you can beat our ten half-step Boundless Realms with your strength alone?"


    Ten half-step Boundless Realms. Even this was an absolutely powerful force when placed in the Fierce Gale World, let alone to talk about dealing with a peak Ninth Level Soul Sea brat.


    Ye Yuan''s heroic words, in his view, was synonymous with not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.


    "Heh heh, a couple of half-step Boundless Realms that relied on sanguine power to train. What difference is there from paper tigers?"


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile. His figure vanished on the spot once more, speeding towards one of the half-step Boundless Realm with extreme speed!


    While revolving his skill, Ye Yuan suddenly released his aura fully. Origin Spirit Nine Transformations instantly erupted, breaking through to half-step Divine Traversing Realm!


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    Ye Yuan roared; his fist already arrived!


    Ye Yuan''s momentum was immensely great. But half-step Boundless Realms were half-step Boundless Realms. Their reactions naturally could not be compared to ordinary people either.


    That half-step Boundless Realm likewise hurled a fist out. The two attacks underwent a frontal collision directly in the air!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s figure abruptly stopped like a fixed spring, while that half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses was actually smacked down by Ye Yuan from the air directly, smashing heavily onto the ground.


    The might of one fist was overwhelming to the max!


    Seeing this punch of Ye Yuan, Shangguan Wenrui''s expression could not help changing.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually daunting to this sort of extent!


    Just Ninth Level Soul Sea and he could actually occupy the absolute initiative in a showdown with a half-step Boundless Realm powerhouse already!


    Only at this time did Shangguan Wenrui realize that this young man before his eyes truly had the strength to threaten his life!


    If he faced off with him directly just now, what the outcome would be like was really hard to tell!


    Ye Yuan looked at Shangguan Wenrui and said coolly, "These few fellows all forcefully promoted their strength. Only essence energy reached the realm of half-step Boundless. Concepts comprehension doesn''t reach the standard at all. Doing this not only diminishes longevity, but their cultivation in this lifetime will also end here. If I can''t even beat this sort of trash, how could I dare to enter the grand array alone?"


    Shangguan Wenrui''s expression flickered erratically.


    He really did not think that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually even stronger than half-step Boundless!


    In his view, Ye Yuan was at most able to deal with Ninth Level Divine Traversing martial artists. Half-step Boundless and Ninth Level Divine Traversing were two entirely different concepts.


    Ye Yuan''s glorious military exploits previously were all borrowing Ye Qing and Yue Mengli, the two people''s strength and completely not his own true power.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s strength with his own eyes now, how could he not be alarmed?


    "Is that so? Even if they forcefully increased their strength, they are also authentic half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses! Even if one can''t beat you, then how about . . . the ten of us?" Shangguan Wenrui said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan flashed a bright grin and said, "Beat you all up the same!"

 693 Blood Prison Cage

    "A creature who doesn''t know life from death! I''ll let you see what''s called a genuine half-step Boundless Realm!"


    Shangguan Wenrui gave a cold laugh. His aura was fully released abruptly.


    Different from those nine people, Shangguan Wenrui was a genuine half-step Boundless Realm expert whose strength was on par with Qi Hai''s.


    Back then when Qi Hai sneaked into the Shangguan Wenrui, he was wary of Shangguan Wenrui''s existence.


    Boundless Realm powerhouses controlled a small area of heaven and earth!


    Even though a half-step Boundless Realm could not achieve control, in this small area of heaven and earth, they were a demi-god like existence too.


    With a wave of a hand, the essence energy quantity that Shangguan Wenrui mustered was entirely not what ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artists could compare to!


    "The nine of you, attack together with me and crush this brat directly!" Shangguan Wenrui said in a solemn voice.


    Right at this present moment, how could he still dare to look down on Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan already used his own actions to prove his might.


    "Yes, Lord Shangguan!"


    Even though those nine people were half-step Boundless Realm experts, they seemed to obey Shangguan Wenrui''s every word.


    Under Shangguan Wenrui''s command, the nine people surrounded Ye Yuan from different directions, blocking all of Ye Yuan''s escape routes.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not move.


    With his speed, wanting to escape these nine people''s containment was still very easy to accomplish.


    Although these nine people were all half-step Boundless Realm, in terms of speed, they simply could not reach Ye Yuan''s speed. Rather, even Shangguan Wenrui could barely contend with Ye Yuan a little in speed.


    Of course, that was also because he was an authentic half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses. In terms of cultivation realm, he was a major realm higher than Ye Yuan!


    "Huhu, these sort of trash, what difference is there between one and nine?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    It was only to see his figure move, attacking like lightning!


    Ye Yuan''s movements were incomparably strange. In a blink of an eye, he unleashed over ten punches!


    Nine great half-step Boundless Realms were actually being held down and beaten by Ye Yuan alone!


    Ye Yuan''s Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage was incomparably savage. Each blow had overwhelming momentum and immense power.


    If not for those nine great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses relying on their essence energy being thick, they would have long been beaten into minced meat by Ye Yuan!


    Seeing this sort of situation, how could Shangguan Wenrui still put up with it?


    "Sovereign Extreme Sword Art!"


    The moment the sword came out, a fierce and sharp sword qi headed straight for Ye Yuan''s back.


    Ye Yuan was currently in the midst of a fierce battle with nine great half-step Boundless Realms but had some vigilance towards Shangguan Wenrui constantly.


    Seeing him sneak attack, he silently cursed shameless in his heart, but drew the Xuanying Sword abruptly, turning around and stabbing over with a sword!


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    Ye Yuan already had not used this move for a long time. But it did not mean that this move''s power was not strong!


    On the contrary, along with the increase in his strength, the power of this Myriad Rain Sword Blades got increasingly more powerful!


    Boom!


    It was an intense collision. The two attacks were actually evenly-matched!


    "Heh, is this the pride of half-step Boundless? Hiding at the back and resorting to underhanded means?" Ye Yuan mocked.


    Shangguan Wenrui''s face was already long cultivated to be thicker than a city wall. Hearing those words, he only said nonchalantly, "The victor becomes king and the loser a bandit. As long as I kill you, what does it matter what method was used?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Truly, villains work in cahoots with each other! You people and Zhao Tianyin are simply a perfect match! I heard that your Shangguan Family was the previous generation''s Wind Emperor. Now, being a lackey is also done with no qualms of conscience either!"


    Shangguan Wenrui''s expression fell. Ye Yuan''s words clearly struck him where it hurt.


    The Shangguan Family was a family that was abandoned. He was totally unable to resist Zhao Tianyin''s domineeringness.


    If the Shangguan Family really had any intentions of not submitting, Zhao Tianyin would absolutely exterminate the Shangguan Family''s entire clan with merciless means!


    Therefore, what Shangguan Wenrui could do was to nurture the next generation to the best of his abilities and make him win in the competition for the Wind Emperor, and seize back the position of wind emperor.


    Who knew that the Shangguan Lingyun he groomed painstakingly actually died at Ye Yuan''s hands. How could he not hate?


    "Enough nonsense! Do you think that the nine of them are really as feeble as you imagine? Heh heh, bring out your true capabilities and let this brat have a look!" Shangguan Wenrui suddenly grinned hideously and said.


    Once those nine half-step Boundless Realm experts received the order, the sanguine power in their bodies suddenly erupted.


    Each person was giving off a sinister red light all around their bodies. Those red light actually condensed to form a complete entity in the air, forming an enormous ball-shaped barrier, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside!


    Thick sanguine power leaked out, corroding over straight towards Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing. He sensed that the circulation of essence energy within his body seemed to have become stagnant!


    "Hahaha! Enjoy the Blood Prison Cage well! Do you feel that your essence energy is somewhat not listening to your orders? Not only can this Blood Prison Cage resonate with the surrounding essence energy and the essence energy within your body, but it can also even boost the nine of their strength tremendously! To be able to force them to use this move, you can also be sufficiently proud!" Shangguan Wenrui said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened. His figure moved, wanting to break free from this area of red domain.


    Yet, he suddenly discovered that his speed actually could not be mustered up!


    Three figures were actually even faster than his speed, directly sealing off his exits shut!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan directly engaged in a blow with the three people and was actually struck until his innards were in a turmoil!


    These nine people''s strength seemed to have really rose a great deal!


    This Blood Prison Cage was indeed incomparably bizarre!


    Ye Yuan fastidiously sensed it a bit. Indeed, he discovered that his connection with the surrounding heaven & earth essence energy became much weaker.


    This also signified that his offensive power would weaken substantially!


    As for movement technique, without the support of essence energy, it would naturally be much weaker as well.


    Looks like these nine people were also not absolutely without merit. This move was indeed unbelievably daunting. Falling into it was practically a certain death situation.


    "Ye Yuan, this taste of waiting for death, how is it?" Shangguan Wenrui said delightedly.


    Ye Yuan gave him an indifferent glance and said, "You all invaded the Endless World, collected sanguine power, to use for raising your own powers! This kind of utterly devoid of conscience actions, heaven won''t take you guys in, I, Ye Yuan, will put you away!"


    "Humph! Stubborn fellow! I want to see just what you rely on to take us away! Kill him for me!" Shangguan Wenrui said.


    The nine people received the order and attacked Ye Yuan once more.


    But this time, under their teamwork, their power increased greatly, and actually forced Ye Yuan back repeatedly!


    If not for Ye Yuan comprehending the Concept of Wind Flow, he would probably be a corpse at this time already.


    These nine people were seemingly nine devils who came from hell; filled with sanguine qi.


    Even so, Ye Yuan was also in perilous danger all around and almost got hit many times.


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, the taste of this Blood Prison Cage is nice, right? Even if your methods are immensely formidable, without strength to unleash them, aren''t you still a good-for-nothing? Yun-er was our Shangguan Family''s hope, and you actually dare to kill him! Today, I''ll send you off to be buried with Yun-er!"


    Shangguan Wenrui unleashed his martial technique once more without any hesitation outside the Blood Prison Cage.


    "Sovereign Extreme Sword Art!"


    Still that martial technique. But this time, the power could not be mentioned in the same breath!


    This was the Sovereign Extreme Sword Art''s ultimate move. Being executed by Shangguan Wenrui''s hands, the power was formidable until it made people feel asphyxiated!

 694 Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!

    A stream of flowing light tore through the sky, entering right into the Blood Prison Cage!


    The might of this sword, even through the city protecting grand array, Chu Shi they all could clearly sense it too!


    The full power attack of a half-step Boundless Realm powerhouse, the might was unimaginable!


    Those people viewing the fight even felt the entire space trembling.


    "Lord Ye Yuan!" When Chu Shi saw Ye Yuan in a hopeless situation, he yelled out at the top of his voice.


    He leaped, wanting to rush into the grand array.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred inside the Blood Prison Cage!


    An azure streak of light gradually lit up from weak to strong. The red-colored light which originally suppressed Ye Yuan to the extreme actually became dim under this streak of azure light!


    "Roar!"


    The sound of a clear dragon roar reverberated throughout the entire Wu Fang City!


    Boom!


    A close-to-materializing azure colossal dragon soared up into the air, directly smashing the nine great half-step Boundless Realm experts surrounding Ye Yuan into meat paste!


    But these nine people''s death were simply unable to stop this azure dragon in the slightest.


    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, that azure dragon met directly with that stream of light which tore through the sky, then collided fiercely together!


    Boom!


    At this instant, the surrounding space virtually started to distort!


    A massive aftershock spread out like a roaring wave, restraining all of the sounds in this world!


    Those Fierce Gale World martial artists slightly closer were directly obliterated by this powerful aftershock without even letting out a tragic cry.


    While the martial artists slightly further away were overturned by waves of air billows and did not have the strength to resist at all!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    All of a sudden, cracking sounds came from the city protecting grand array.


    The power of these two attacks colliding actually made even the city protecting grand array fragment inch by inch!


    Boom!


    The city protecting grand array finally collapsed with a loud bang under the impact of the shockwave!


    The city protecting grand array which had lasted for thousands of years turned into dust just like this.


    Yet, the contest between these two attacks had not ended yet.


    The azure dragon was released by Ye Yuan after. But at this time, it pushed Shangguan Wenrui''s attack back!


    Finally, this almost materialized azure dragon thoroughly crushed Shangguan Wenrui''s attack. Then, wrapped in a formidable power, it galloped towards Shangguan Wenrui!


    Shangguan Wenrui was long frightened silly by Ye Yuan''s attack already!


    This attack was too powerful!


    Powerful until it made him, his half-step Boundless Realm give birth to fear in his heart!


    Virtually without any hesitation, Shangguan Wenrui turned around and fled!


    However, how could his speed compete against the azure dragon''s?


    This azure dragon was seemingly something with a soul. It actually attacked Shangguan Wenrui with an even greater speed.


    Bang!


    Shangguan Wenrui was directly ploughed into by the azure dragon''s colossal head!


    He spat out a mouthful of blood with a cough, his body falling down weakly.


    The nine great half-step Boundless Realms being killed, that terrifying Blood Prison Cage naturally collapsed on itself too.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, arriving in front of Shangguan Wenrui.


    "Give you a chance. Say my parents'' whereabouts, and I''ll make it painless for you! Don''t harbor any hopes of getting lucky in your heart. My methods of torturing people are absolutely much more horrifying than you imagine!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Hearing that voice of Ye Yuan''s which seemed to have come from the underworld, Shangguan Wenrui could not help shuddering.


    He could discern that thick killing intent in Ye Yuan''s words.


    However, Shangguan Wenrui was aware that he was certain to be killed, so he did not really mind Ye Yuan''s killing intent.


    He never could have thought that Ye Yuan could unleash such a peerlessly powerful blow!


    That attack earlier already infinitely approached Boundless Realm!


    Right then just now, Shangguan Wenrui clearly perceived that the Heavenly Dao had a trace of undulation and almost rained down heavenly tribulation!


    Shangguan Wenrui even felt that it was not that the might of this palm stopped here, but Ye Yuan deliberately suppressing the power and not letting it break through the limits of the Endless World?


    If it was really like this, then Ye Yuan''s strength was simply too terrifying!


    One could say that he was an invincible existence under Boundless Realm!


    How could a Soul Sea Realm martial artist possibly unleash such a horrifying martial technique?


    Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    That move earlier was precisely the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm released with spirit rank dragon wave that Ye Yuan comprehended recently.


    Even before Ye Yuan comprehended it, he also did not expect that the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm would actually be so powerful!


    Indeed, for the dragon race to be able to become the leader racial group among the demon races, they were not an ordinary kind of strong!


    Ye Yuan seemed to have extraordinary talent in the comprehension of dragon wave.


    Just before the army moved out this time, after Ye Yuan''s injuries healed, he finally broke through the shackles of Heaven Rank, achieving Spirit Rank dragon wave!


    And Ye Yuan had a feeling that this spirit rank dragon wave seemed to be a watershed.


    Between heaven rank and spirit rank was seemingly the division between immortal and mortal; the disparity was too great!


    Earlier, Ye Yuan had indeed intentionally suppressed the power of the dragon wave. Otherwise, it would likely really draw the heavenly tribulation!


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, calling down the heavenly tribulation was no different from seeking death.


    "H-Haha, what''s the harm in telling you. Your parents have already been sent to the Central Capital! If you have the capabilities, go to the Fierce Gale World and rescue them back!" Shangguan Wenrui said with his mouth full of blood.


    Ye Yuan''s expression fell, and he thought to himself that it was indeed so!


    "Looks like Zhao Tianyin had long guessed that I wouldn''t die that easily and wanted to use my parents to threaten me!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "Zhao Tianyin isn''t as simple as you think! Moreover, with your parents in his hands, you''re not his match at all! H-Haha, I know that you''ll definitely go and save your parents. Even if I can''t kill you, Zhao Tianyin will also kill you! Ye Yuan, you can''t escape the word, death, in the end!" Shangguan Wenrui cursed venomously.


    "Noisy!"


    Ye Yuan slapped a palm over again, ending Shangguan Wenrui''s life.


    This fellow still did not forget to curse him when facing imminent death. Really did not know life from death.


    But Ye Yuan had no choice but to admit that the current situation was rather troublesome, and he was also very worried about Ye Hang and Ren Hongling''s safety.


    Zhao Tianyin this fellow indeed had the demeanor of a fierce and ambitious person!


    Once he faced his adversary squarely, it was simply taking every conceivable possibility into account!


    Now that Ye Hang and Ren Hongling landed in his hands, Ye Yuan was somewhat hesitant in taking action.


    . . . . . .


    In the City Lord Manor, Ye Yuan released all the saved people from inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and removed the restrictions on their bodies one by one.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, even if Qi Hai they all knew that the Vast Heaven Pagoda was in his hands, he did not need to worry about anything either.


    This bit of restrictions was naturally not worth mentioning to him.


    When Qi Hai and the rest saw Ye Yuan again, the shock in their hearts could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan saved them on top of city walls and faced off with those ten great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses.


    Now that Ye Yuan appeared in the City Lord Manor, that was enough to explain everything!


    Ye Yuan actually relied on his own strength and triumphed over ten great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses?


    This sort of battle result was seriously too astonishing!


    Even by pouring in all of the Endless World''s strength, they were also unable to defeat those ten people.


    But Ye Yuan was merely just at the peak Ninth Level Soul Sea right now, and he actually did it!


    Just how formidable to what degree was the current Ye Yuan?!

 695 True Dragon Heavenly Lord!

    "Ye Yuan, apologies! I didn''t protect your father and mother well!"


    Qi Hai''s words revealed thick self-condemnation in it.


    He was the Endless World''s strongest person and also the Realmlord. He actually did not even detect the enemy''s intentions, and the old nest was wiped out all at once. It was indeed an action that was very derelict of one''s duties.


    If it were in the past, even if Qi Hai had some self-reproach, he would not say it out like this either.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually already matured into a martial artist much more powerful than him.


    When facing Ye Yuan, Qi Hai''s tiny bit of superiority feeling already vanished without a trace.


    The present Ye Yuan was the Endless World''s strongest person!


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it. Worrying over these now is not very useful either. Zhao Tianyin intentionally schemed against those who had no intention of doing so. Wu Fang City being breached is also something within expectations."


    Even Ye Yuan himself also did not think that Zhao Tianyin could actually create nine half-step Boundless Realm experts!


    So from the very beginning, the outcome of Wu Fang City falling into the enemy''s hands was destined.


    After everyone sat down, Ye Yuan sat at the seat of honor position.


    There, represented the position of the strongest person!


    "Now that the Fierce Gale World''s great army had severe losses in the Endless World, they already can''t stir up much of a wave anymore. From today onwards, you all start to proceed with counterattacks! But the Fierce Gale World''s loss is already fixed, and they have already suffered due punishment. So don''t commit too many killings. Those who are willing to surrender, gather them together first. Then group them up and send them back to the Fierce Gale World!'' Ye Yuan instructed with the bearing of a sovereign.


    "Yes, Lord Ye Yuan!'' Ning Yixian clasped his hands and said.


    Unknowingly, a change also occurred with Ning Yixian''s attitude towards Ye Yuan. Even the term of address changed.


    This was the pressure that a true powerhouse gave people!


    In the world of martial artists, it has always been the strong who reigned supreme.


    Your strength is powerful, other people will submit to you wholeheartedly. Your strength is weak, others won''t even be inclined to give you a glance.


    Regardless whether it was looking at strength or achievements, Ye Yuan was fully deserving of the word, ''Lord.''


    Before Ye Yuan exited the God Prohibited Demon Region, the Endless World could be said to have already been fully occupied by the enemy.


    It was Ye Yuan overturning the raging tides alone, killing off all the strongest Fierce Gale World people in the Endless World!


    This kind of strength, even thinking about it made people give rise to awe and reverence in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan was not that sort of authentic aboriginal. He was formerly a high and lofty Alchemy Emperor. Towards these people''s changes in mentality, he did not have any discomfort, getting into character very naturally.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that along with the increase in his strength, many friends that he could originally converse with would also gradually drift apart.


    Loneliness at the peak was this logic.


    Just like Long Tang, Nanfeng aunt and niece they all, they were originally all fellow apprentices at the same sect.


    But now, even if Ye Yuan wanted to drop his attitude and get close to them, they would also feel unnatural.


    This was the change in status brought by strength.


    Even though Ye Yuan knew that Nanfeng aunt and niece already had their hearts committed to him, the disparity between their strength ordained that they were not people of the same world.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not that sort of people who forget their roots.


    Since they were friends, Ye Yuan would definitely guide them a bit and let them have even more space to advance in the future.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, "The places that the Fierce Gale World passed through were virtually all massacring the cities. But why was there not much killing when they breached Wu Fang City?"


    Ye Yuan had a few simple glances in the city and discovered that Wu Fang City''s preservation was still considered pretty intact as if it did not get into a war. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Also, these people in front of him, Ye Yuan originally thought that they were pretty much done for. Who knew that they were only controlled.


    That dumb Shangguan Wenrui actually even wanted to use them to threaten him.


    "I''ve heard them talk about this before. They were planning on gathering us, these people, together, and choose a time to carry out a collective sacrifice! Originally, it was also going to be carried out these few days, but didn''t expect that Ye Yuan, you, actually killed your way back." Qi Hai answered.


    Ye Yuan was enlightened. Turns out that it wasn''t not taking action, it was just not yet started.


    Wu Fang City here were all the big shots of the Endless World. Each and every one of their strength was unfathomable.


    Once they died, using that sort of crude way to collect the sanguine power was truly too much of a waste. Therefore, that was why they had the thought of gathering them together to sacrifice.


    It was just that Shangguan Wenrui did not think that Ye Yuan would return domineeringly, directly crushing ten mighty half-step Boundless Realms, and freeing Wu Fang City.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone''s faces and suddenly asked rather worriedly, "Is Brother Zihui . . . still around?"


    Hearing ''Brother Zihui'' this name, the expression on everyone''s faces could not help becoming absent-minded and did not recall who ''Brother Zihui'' was for a moment.


    It was still Ren Xingchun who recovered first and hurriedly said, "Xu Zihui should be fine! Soul Sea Realm martial artists were imprisoned by them in the dungeons east of the city."


    Only after hearing Ren Xingchun''s words, was Ye Yuan''s suspended heart put back in its original spot.


    Xu Zihui was Father''s savior. Ye Yuan owed him a huge favor. If he died, he would be very upset.


    Only after hearing Ren Xingchun''s words, did everyone know that this Xu Zihui was merely a Soul Sea Realm martial artist.


    But everybody could not help becoming very envious. This Xu Zihui could actually obtain Lord Ye Yuan''s good graces.


    Following that, Ye Yuan personally went to the city-east dungeons and released Xu Zihui, and removing the restrictions on his body.


    When Xu Zihui knew Ye Yuan''s current status and strength but lowered himself to let him out of the dungeons personally, it moved him to the extreme.


    Later, this interlude was leaked out by goodness knows who, passing on with approbation.


    Lord Ye Yuan''s high morality reached the clouds and did not forget old friends.


    This added the halo of a trace of humanity on the Ye Yuan who was later deified.


    After this battle, Ye Yuan gradually became the figure on top of the Endless World''s altar. His fame was even greater than the Grand Yan True Sect''s back then.


    While the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect''s strength to protect the Endless World''s peace was touching and deserving of a song, Ye Yuan turned the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal, utterly crushing the Fierce Gale World with his own strength.


    Such an achievement could be said to be unprecedented and unrepeatable.


    The martial artists who witnessed Wu Fang City''s great battle gave Ye Yuan a daoist title, named ''True Dragon Heavenly Lord!"


    After Ye Yuan ascended to the Divine Realm, the Endless World''s martial artists spontaneously forged a monument of Ye Yuan in Wu Fang City, in order to commemorate ''True Dragon Heavenly Lord'' Ye Yuan!


    Ever since then, Ye Yuan''s name of ''True Dragon Heavenly Lord'' was passed down for as long as ten thousand years in the Endless World!


    His achievement was engraved in people''s minds for generations to come!


    Of course, these were all the afterword.


    After Ye Yuan rescued Xu Zihui, he gave him a large batch of medicinal pills, enough for him to cultivate to peak Divine Traversing Realm.


    Following that, Ye Yuan commanded people to search everywhere for the news of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s disciples.


    At the same time, the Endless World''s counteroffensive also officially raised the curtains.


    But all of this had nothing to do with Ye Yuan already.


    Instructing everything properly, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion!


    The Endless World''s matters were already settled. But the Fierce Gale World''s matters had not ended yet.


    Not eliminating Zhao Tianyin, the Fierce Gale World and Endless World would never know peace!


    Before going to the Fierce Gale World, Ye Yuan must break through to the Divine Traversing Realm!

 696 Divine Soul Condensing

    On a spacious field a thousand miles outside of Wu Fang City, over ten martial artists were waiting in full battle formation.


    Qi Hai, Qin Hongtao, Ning Yixian, and so on. These pinnacle powerhouses of the Endless World were currently standing guard for a young man.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were tightly shut, calming his spirit and focusing his mind, currently making the final preparations before breaking through.


    Ye Yuan had a calm expression, facing the breakthrough that was about to arrive very indifferently. However, Qi Hai and the rest each had solemn looks on their faces, as if they were the ones transcending the tribulation.


    The war had not ended now, Ye Yuan was the Endless World''s greatest hope. There must not be any accidents.


    Crack!


    All of a sudden, a bolt out of the blue echoed. The sky that was originally clear without clouds for thousands of miles actually started to have dark clouds gathering overhead.


    Seeing this commotion, Qi Hai and co.''s expressions changed.


    "Ye Yuan is only breaking through to the Divine Traversing Realm here. Why would there be such a huge tumult?"


    "Even though that heavenly tribulation has yet to form completely, looking at this spectacle, it''s simply even stronger than other people transcending the heavenly tribulation of Boundless Realm!"


    "No wonder Ye Yuan possessed such horrifying strength at the Soul Sea Realm. His heavenly tribulation when breaking through is too outrageous!"


    The commotion of Ye Yuan transcending tribulation was naturally incomparably outrageous. If not for so, how was he able to rely on the heavenly tribulation back then to smite the Third Level Divine Traversing Shangguan Yunrong down two minor realms?"


    But in Ye Yuan''s view, the heavenly tribulation this time was still a little weaker compared to the last time.


    After all, he was breaking through the Lower Three Realm''s great threshold the last time. The Heavenly Dao''s obstruction to him was much greater than this time.


    Such a thing was bound to still happen when breaking through from the Middle Three Realms to the Upper Three Realms.


    This point, Ye Yuan had long been mentally prepared.


    This sort of advancement from breaking through the fetters of Heavenly Dao was a one-time wide margin leap in life. One was bound to suffer the Heavenly Dao''s merciless lashing.


    And Ye Yuan''s strength was much greater compared to ordinary martial artists. The obstruction he received would definitely be much greater than ordinary people.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Frenzied lightning snakes descended in a wild dance, bombarding the place Ye Yuan was at violently.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s place did not have any bit of essence energy undulation.


    "Hiss . . . Ye Yuan is actually using his physical body to forcefully withstand the heavenly tribulation! No, wait! He . . . He''s using the heavenly tribulation to temper his fleshy body?" Qi Hai muttered when he saw this scene.


    The way Ye Yuan transcended tribulations, the impact it brought to him was too great.


    He had never thought before that transcending tribulations could actually be done in this fashion.


    The first round of heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan actually even could not be bothered to use essence energy!


    Within those berserk lightning snakes, Ye Yuan was seemingly a small rowboat. But this small rowboat was as if nailed to the sea surface; not budging an inch!


    In the blue-violet lightning, a streak of azure light gradually lit up. Layers of azure dragon scale actually faintly birthed on Ye Yuan''s skin!


    The lightning tribulation was getting stronger and stronger. But Ye Yuan felt that it had the trend of getting increasingly weaker. Bombarding on his body actually had less and less of a feeling.


    "Tsk tsk, the might of the dragon race''s physical body is indeed extraordinary! I wonder to what degree this fleshy body of mine can attain if I keep on strengthening it!" In the heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan gasped with admiration.


    Very soon, the first round of heavenly tribulation passed. Ye Yuan was completely unscathed.


    This scene left the guarding Qi Hai and the rest speechless for a long time. They even forgot their mission for coming here today for some time.


    Under such a horrifying heavenly tribulation, there were actually people who could be completely unscathed!


    Ye Yuan this fellow was truly a freak!


    This was the thought that everyone had right now without prior consultation.


    That day when Ye Yuan slew ten great half-step Boundless Realm powerhouses, they were put away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda by Ye Yuan and did not see Ye Yuan take action at all.


    Ye Yuan''s might was only imagined by them.


    But Ye Yuan transcending tribulation today, they finally saw with their own eyes that soul-stirring might of Ye Yuan!


    Especially Qi Hai. He was already not far away from transcending tribulation and ascending. Regarding the might of heavenly tribulation, he even had a feeling faintly from forces beyond his control.


    He judged himself that under such a heavenly tribulation, even if he was able to transcend it, it was also very hard to do it as lightheartedly as Ye Yuan.


    Very soon, the second round, third round, fourth round, each wave of heavenly tribulation was fiercer than the last. But Ye Yuan transcended through all of them very easily.


    When it reached the fifth round, dual-colored lightning tribulation arrived as scheduled.


    "5-in-9 heavenly tribulation! Lightning and soul dual tribulations! Hiss . . ." Seeing that scene which awed the heart, Qi Hai drew a cold breath.


    Qi Hai once again deeply felt that might of Ye Yuan''s strength!


    The dual-colored lightning tribulation at this time was much more powerful than when Ye Yuan was breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm. But Ye Yuan''s growth in this major boundary was even more!


    The dual-colored lightning tribulation which heavily wounded Ye Yuan at that time did not bring him too much trouble at this time. He did not even make use of that black bead.


    The heavenly tribulation dissipated. The sky restored clarity again.


    "You guys, look! What''s that!" Somebody suddenly screamed, as if he saw something inconceivable.


    Everyone was still immersed in that horrifying dual-colored lightning tribulation earlier at this time and did not pay attention.


    Hearing that person speak, everyone could not help focusing their gazes over, but saw a faint phantom spilling out from the top of Ye Yuan''s head!


    That faint phantom looked exactly the same as Ye Yuan!


    "This . . . Divine soul condensing . . . How is this possible? He . . . He only just broke through to the Divine Traversing Realm!" Qi Hai screamed.


    "Really didn''t expect that Ye Yuan''s divine soul was actually condensed to such a degree already! Just broke through to Divine Traversing Realm and his divine soul can actually condense a form!" Ning Yixian was also unbelievably shocked.


    "How is this possible? I''ve never heard before of Divine Traversing Realm martial artists being able to condense and form their divine souls! How consolidated must Ye Yuan''s divine soul be?!" Qin Hongtao said in amazement.


    "No wonder he was so relaxed when crossing the soul tribulation earlier. Such a consolidated divine soul, how could that degree of soul tribulation possibly shake it?" Qi Hai said.


    Everyone looked over, only to see that phantom Ye Yuan was seemingly a newborn child; filled with curiosity towards this world, wandering in the air, incomparably free from inhibitions.


    The so-called Divine Traversing Realm was that the martial artist''s divine soul was able to roam the world and be even closer to heaven & earth. Only this way, were they able to muster even more powerful heaven & earth essence energy.


    But for ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artists, the divine soul was an intangible thing. Even if it could separate from the physical body and roam in the world, it was also unable to sustain for long.


    But Ye Yuan''s divine soul actually condensed to take form already. This was much more powerful compared to ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artists!


    What Middle Three Realm martial artists emphasized on cultivating was the divine soul.


    The more consolidated the divine soul was, the stronger the affinity with heaven & earth essence energy.


    Even if they were Boundless Realm martial artists, they might not be able to cultivate the divine soul to the extent of condensing to take form.


    But Ye Yuan had just entered the Divine Traversing Realm now, and he actually did it already!


    It was also no wonder that when Qi Hai they all saw this scene, it was like seeing a ghost.


    Not that their experiences were few. It was truly that this sort of situation was too rare. They had never heard of it before at all.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul played around in the air for a while. Only when it seemed to be rather tired out, did it return to Ye Yuan''s body.


    Only at this time, did Ye Yuan slowly open both eyes. The corners of his mouth could not refrain from revealing a trace of a smile.


    The feeling of the divine soul leaving the body, it had already been so long since he experienced it.

 697 Wait for Me to Come and Chop!

    Heavenly Sky Mountain Rage, the place where the Heavenly Sky Sect in the past was, and where the Purple Mansion Sect was today.


    The Purple Mansion Sect''s Sect Master, He Mingde, could be said to be riding on the crest of success these two years!


    The Purple Mansion Sect endured patiently for generations. At his generation, they were finally able to welcome back the powerful Wind Emperor.


    He Mingde was rewarded substantially by the Wind Emperor because he made huge contributions.


    These two to three year''s time, he used the Wind Emperor''s rewards to breakthrough two minor realms in a row. He was already a half-step Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse!


    Furthermore, in the medicinal pills rewarded by the wind emperor, there were even medicinal pills to help him break through to the Divine Traversing Realm!


    He Mingde never would have dreamed that he was actually able to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm in his remaining years!


    Divine Traversing Realm. That was that pinnacle-most group of people in the Endless World.


    Even when placed in the Northern Domain, it was also sufficient to establish a sect.


    But He Mingde naturally did not have any thoughts regarding the Northern Domain. After Lord Shangguan went to the Northern Domain, this Southern Domain''s affairs were up to him to manage.


    "The State of Qin those fellows. How''s the greeting?" He Mingde asked an elder down below.


    That elder said, "Replying Sect Master, the State of Qin''s Imperial Family have all been taken down already. The males were sent to the mines to dig for ores, and the women were thrown into the Entertainment Academy as slaves, never to recover for life! The Dan Wu Academy was sealed, and the instructors with relations to Ye Yuan were all sent to dig ores together with the State of Qin''s Imperial Family. Also, that whatever Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, it was removed as well!"


    He Mingde''s face revealed a delighted smile and said with a loud laugh, "Hahaha . . . Pretty well done! That brat called Ye Yuan actually made us have such a stumble and even nearly crippled Lin Chao. Truly deserves death! Now, this boy naturally has Lord Shangguan to go and deal with. We can''t stick a hand inside, but can entertain that group of relatives and friends of his properly!"


    The elder was naturally aware of the fury in He Mingde''s heart. The Purple Mansion Sect endured patiently for thousands of years. Erupting in one day, they originally thought that they could unify the Southern Domain.


    Who knew that at this time, this brat called Ye Yuan would actually pop out, and make the Purple Mansion Sect have a huge stumble, and also disrupted the Wind Emperor''s original set up.


    At that time, He Mingde was fearful and trembling in his heart. Every day, he could not even sleep well, afraid that the wind emperor would kill him in a rage.


    But who knew that not only did the wind emperor not kill him, he even let him be in charge of all matters concerning the Southern Domain perfectly fine.


    However, even though the matter had passed, the fury in He Mingde''s heart did not pass.


    Some time ago, He Mingde finally straightened out all the things in the Southern Domain. Right away, he pointed the spearhead at the State of Qin whose relations were not shallow with Ye Yuan.


    "Looks like you''re laughing very happily!" He Mingde was currently chuckling to himself when a voice suddenly sounded out in the great hall.


    He Mingde''s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, "Who? Pretending to be mysterious! If you have the capabilities, reveal your true face!"


    He Mingde was currently incomparably shocked in his heart. There was actually someone who could enter the Purple Mansion Sect''s main hall noiselessly, and not a single person in the entire sect discovered it, including him!


    When was there such a powerful existence in the Southern Domain?


    A youth clothed in white walked into the great hall neither hurriedly nor slowly. When He Mingde saw him, his knees went weak in fright, and he nearly toppled down from his chair.


    This youth was none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who came from the Northern Domain!


    Leaving the Southern Domain for such a long time, Ye Yuan still could not quite put his mind at ease regarding the State of Qin.


    Although his parents had already left the State of Qin for a long time, Ye Yuan still had quite a number of people worthy of care remaining in the State of Qin.


    Such as Manager Feng San, such as Huyan Yong, Jiang Yunhe, and so on.


    Him returning to the Southern Domain this time was to enter the Fierce Gale World through the Grand Yan True Sect''s ruins and conveniently dropped in on the State of Qin. Who knew that the State of Qin was actually taken out altogether.


    Manager Feng San died horribly, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was thoroughly dissolved. Huyan Yong, Jiang Yunhe, and the Nanfeng Family were all sent to dig in the mines.


    He Mingde''s actions thoroughly infuriated Ye Yuan.


    He Mingde could cover the skies with one hand in the Southern Domain now. Doing this sort of thing naturally would not have any misgivings. Ye Yuan just inquired a little and knew that it was the Purple Mansion Sect playing tricks at the back.


    Ye Yuan sent White Light to rescue Huyan Yong and the rest, while simultaneously dropping in to visit over here.


    Actually, Ye Yuan only came a step late. When he rushed to the Purple Mansion Sect, the elder handling the affairs had also just happened to return to the sect. Hence, there was that scene just now.


    What made He Mingde astounded was that just two to three years of not seeing, Ye Yuan was actually a Divine Traversing Realm powerhouse already!


    He Mingde knew that Ye Yuan''s talent was heaven-defying, but also did not think that it was actually heaven-defying to this kind of degree!


    Seeing Ye Yuan, He Mingde knelt down with a thud and begged for mercy, "Y-Ye Yuan, I . . . I . . . All of this is all the wind emperor''s orders! I''m only carrying out the orders! I beg you, don''t kill me!"


    Ye Yuan looked at He Mingde and suddenly grinned and said, "Is that so? I''m going to meet Zhao Tianyin very soon. Why not . . . I bring you to confront him face-to-face?"


    Ye Yuan did not tolerate his explanation at all. Pointing lightly with his finger, violent essence energy directly shackled He Mingde up.


    While that elder was blasted into residue immediately.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved and arrived in front of He Mingde. Extending his hand and smacking on his head, with a lug, he directly pulled out his divine soul, throwing it into a small bottle prepared in advance.


    "Fiery, attend to this fellow well!"


    Finishing all of this, Ye Yuan gave an order to Fiery. A wisp of essence fire also silently entered inside the small bottle.


    Ye Yuan casually sealed the small bottle shut, but heard clamoring sounds coming from inside.


    This kind of divine soul refining method was exceedingly cruel. He Mingde''s divine soul could even survive for as long as a hundred years inside this small bottle. He would have to suffer the agony of essence fire burning the body at all times. In the end, he would be refined finished, never to reincarnate forever.


    Ye Yuan never tend to be like this towards enemies. But this He Mingde touched his bottom-line!


    Feng San''s death made him give rise to thick killing intent towards He Mingde.


    Furthermore, the Endless World suffering this kind of apocalyptic calamity, the chief culprit was He Mingde!


    Even though he was just a minor character, this minor character changed the moving direction of the two small worlds!


    Towards the entire Purple Mansion Sect, Ye Yuan obviously would not be softhearted as well, directly choosing to eradicate the sect, slaughtering the Purple Mansion Sect from top to bottom cleanly.


    But what surprised Ye Yuan was that he actually did not find Lin Chao''s figure in the Purple Mansion Sect. It also counted as having let him escape a calamity.


    Ye Yuan did not have much time to waste on this as well. The pressing issue was that he still had to hurry to the Fierce Gale World. Therefore, he did not stop over for long too.


    . . . . . .


    Several days later, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared at the ruins of the Grand Yan True Sect.


    Time passed, and circumstances had changed. Ye Yuan also sighed incessantly in his heart coming to this place again.


    At that time, the Eight Great Sects came to explore the mystic realm. Who knew that it actually triggered such a tragic war between two worlds. Those martial artists who came to explore the mystic realm at that time, only Ye Yuan was left now.


    Even those Tranquil Cloud Sect''s fellow apprentices still did not have any news now as well.


    The present ruins were long teeming with Fierce Gale World martial artists already. Ye Yuan obviously would not be polite, killing all the way into the realm passageway''s area.


    The one guarding the realm passageway was a Divine Traversing Realm expert. However, he was not an enemy capable of exchanging a single blow with Ye Yuan at all.


    "Scram back and tell Zhao Tianyin to ask him to wash his neck clean and wait for me to come and chop!" Ye Yuan did not kill that Divine Traversing Realm martial artist but said to him.

 698 Zhao Tianyin, You Deserve Death!

    "Zhao Tianyin, come out for me!"


    In the sky above the Central Capital, a figure stood in the air!


    Ye Yuan''s voice was like rolling thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire Central Capital.


    Ye Yuan passed right through the city protecting grand array and entered inside the capital.


    This time, he did not have the need to be sneaky like last time. He had the strength to confront Zhao Tianyin now!


    This howl of Ye Yuan''s immediately drew everyone''s attention.


    "This . . . Who is this person? To actually dare address His Majesty''s name directly without honorifics. Does he want to die?"


    "You idiot! This boy is clearly coming with ill-intentions! If he isn''t a fool, then he has genuine ability. Do you think he wants to die or not?"


    "You''re the idiot! Who can be His Majesty''s match in this world? He''s a Boundless Realm powerhouse! Even though this boy''s strength is pretty good, he''s at the very most also just a First Level Divine Traversing Realm only!"


    ". . . . . ."


    The person actually had no words to retort!


    In these Fierce Gale World martial artists'' view, Ye Yuan was purely here to seek death.


    Because at this time, it was simply impossible for anyone to be the Wind Emperor, His Majesty''s match!


    In their hearts, His Majesty was an invincible existence!


    Except . . . . Ye Yuan came here today in order to devastate that invincible king in their hearts!


    On Qixia Mountain, Star Abyss was currently giving a sermon to his disciples. Hearing this voice, his expression could not help changing.


    "Who has such nerve? To actually dare provoke His Majesty! Uh . . . This voice is so familiar!"


    "It''s Little Junior Brother''s voice! Master, it''s Little Junior Brother returning!" Shi Haoran recognized this voice very quickly, half-exclaiming and half-overjoyed.


    Star Abyss recognized Ye Yuan''s voice right away. His face revealed a complicated look at this time as he said with a sigh, "Ye Yuan coming back, how can he still be your Little Junior Brother? Most likely, even Master also have no choice but to address him ''Your Excellency'' already!"


    Shi Haoran''s expression changed, and he said, "What do Master''s words mean?"


    Star Abyss waved his hand and said, "Don''t ask anymore. Follow Master out to take a look, and you''ll know!"


    Finished talking, Star Abyss got up and headed out of the door.


    The group of disciples were all surprised and bewildered and followed him out of the door too.


    At the same time, countless family clans in the city were alarmed, all leaving their homes to watch one after another.


    But what made their jaws hit the ground was that the youth who appeared slightly skinny in the air was only a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist.


    This kind of strength was still considered pretty good when placed outside the Central Capital. But even if the elites in the Central Capital were all brought out, he could not be ranked in too.


    This kind of strength, how could he dare to challenge Lord Wind Emperor?


    Two years ago, Ye Yuan overpowered everyone in the Central Capital. But at that time, Ye Yuan''s strength was still weak after all.


    In these two years, regardless of whether in terms of disposition or strength, Ye Yuan was worlds apart from at that time. There were naturally very few people who could remember that this youth before their eyes was the Ye Yuan who wreaked havoc in the capital on that day.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s commotion today was much, much greater compared to that time when he came back then.


    On that day, it was only in the plaza. But this time, Ye Yuan''s roar startled all the experts in the Central Capital!


    The current Ye Yuan shut his eyes, hands folded across his chest, quietly waiting for Zhao Tianyin''s response.


    However, Zhao Tianyin''s status in the Fierce Gale World was still paramount.


    Ye Yuan roaring so impudently like this naturally incurred the displeasure of many experts.


    Very soon, there were those who did not fear death rushing forward.


    "Where did this boy who doesn''t know life from death come from? To actually dare address Lord Wind Emperor''s name directly without honorifics! Courting death!"


    This was a Third Level Divine Traversing powerhouse, going over to ''greet'' Ye Yuan without allowing any explanations.


    Ye Yuan did not move, but a faint phantom separated from his body and came out.


    That faint phantom just lightly tapped a finger out and that Third Level Divine Traversing powerhouse dropped down straight from the sky just like this.


    Seeing this scene, everyone drew a cold breath.


    "That . . . That is divine soul condensing and taking form! This . . . How is this possible?"


    Shi Haoran they all had just come out from Qixia Mountain when he saw this scene, shocking Shi Haoran until he was stammering when speaking.


    Star Abyss''s gaze sharpened too. He did not think that two years of not seeing, Ye Yuan was actually formidable to such an extent already!


    First Level Divine Traversing dealing with Third Level Divine Traversing, and the former actually did not even unleash a move, only using the condensed divine soul to directly one-shot the latter!


    Furthermore . . . the divine soul condensing and taking form at the First Level Divine Traversing, what kind of concept was this?


    Even if Star Abyss was aware of Ye Yuan''s former Alchemy Emperor identity, seeing this scene, he was unbelievably shocked too.


    But speaking of which, if Ye Yuan did not have sufficient strength, it was also impossible to wantonly challenge Zhao Tianyin publicly like this.


    Boundless Realm. These two words were not said for fun!


    "Now, you all know what my words earlier meant, right?" Star Abyss said with an emotional sigh.


    Shi Haoran and the group of apprentices exchanged glances, each seeing the astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    Two years of not seeing, Ye Yuan was no longer that Little Junior Brother who needed their protection!


    That youth who used to seek protection under Master''s feathers already truly grew up to become a peerless powerhouse!


    Right then, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said indifferently, "I came here today for a personal grudge with Zhao Tianyin. If there are those who don''t fear death, feel free to come up. I''ll just treat it as a warm-up."


    The voice was not loud, but it transmitted into everybody''s ears clearly.


    These words were very arrogant!


    Very, freaking, arrogant!


    But this youth in front of them absolutely had the capital to be arrogant!


    Relying solely on the divine soul to one-shot a Third Level Divine Traversing powerhouse. Very clearly, this fellow was really here for the Wind Emperor, Zhao Tianyin!


    A single sentence awed everyone!


    The Divine Traversing Realm experts who were originally raring to have a go, all sensibly pressed down the desire to provoke.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help shutting his eyes once more.


    Him attacking like thunderbolt was in order to stun everyone. Otherwise, some flies coming up repeatedly was also quite irritating.


    As for Star Abyss''s lineage, Ye Yuan naturally discovered long ago. But at present, it was clearly not a good time to identify each other. So he could only treat it as if he did not see.


    With the passing of time, quite a number of people below could not refrain from commenting.


    "Why hasn''t Lord Wind Emperor appeared yet? Could it be that . . . he''s really afraid?"


    "Shhh . . . Keep it down, are you courting death?! Lord Wind Emperor is a Boundless Realm powerhouse. How can he possibly be afraid of this brat? Him not coming out definitely has his reason! Even though this boy''s abilities are considerable, it''s not possible to be Lord Wind Emperor''s match either!"


    "En, what you said makes sense. Lord Wind Emperor is a Boundless Realm powerhouse after all. How can he possibly fear a First Level Divine Traversing brat?"


    Everyone was currently discussing animatedly when a disturbance suddenly arose in the distance.


    Clatter . . . Clatter . . .


    A middle-aged man in fine clothing slowly walked out from the crowd. But in his hands, he was pulling a very thick iron chain.


    The other end of the iron chain was connected to a cage forged from profound iron.


    There was a male and female pair in the cage. The two people were thin and pallid, their faces without color.


    The Ye Yuan in the air suddenly snapped open his eyes. Starting hard at those two figures in the metal cage, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Zhao Tianyin, you . . . deserve . . . death!"

 699 Hatred Billowing to the Sky!

    Ye Yuan right now had blood-red eyes with his killing intent billowing to the sky!


    The male and female in the cage were none other than precisely Ye Hang and Ren Hongling husband and wife!


    Ever since reincarnating, Ye Yuan had never wanted to kill a person this intense before.


    Today, was the first time!


    Apart from Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan truly became enraged for the first time today!


    At this time, Zhao Tianyin carried the Profound Iron Cage and soared into the air. The iron cage in excess of a thousand pounds was like nothing in his hands.


    And him moving, Ye Hang and Ren Hongling immediately tumbled around inside. Their heads bumped directly onto the iron cage, giving off banging sounds.


    Zhao Tianyin looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, "Are you furious? But I advise that you better not lose your temper. This metal cage was forged from Profound Iron. Its strength is comparable to a profound artifact''s! On it is already stuck full of Tier 5 Pyroblast Talismans. As long as I activate it, they will immediately be blown to dust!"


    Ye Yuan was just thinking of making a move but was forcefully stopped by Zhao Tianyin''s words.


    "Zhao Tianyin! If they have any mishap, I dare to assure you that you won''t even get to be buried with them even if you want to!" Ye Yuan''s words seemed to be carrying ice. It could be seen that he was already furious to the extreme at present.


    "Huhu, you''re confident! Even if I don''t have them as hostages in my hands, just the likes of you, and you want to find me for revenge? Still a little young in the end. You simply can''t imagine the disparity between Boundless Realm and Divine Traversing Realm!" Zhao Tianyin thought nothing of Ye Yuan at all.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was just a brat overestimating his own ability.


    The further to the back the path of Martial Dao, the harder it was to leap realms and battle. Because the distance between each minor boundary also got increasingly greater.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan indeed had the ability to cross boundaries and battle. But it was absolutely impossible to cross a major boundary and defeat the Boundless Realm him.


    However, to the inherently cautious Zhao Tianyin, he would rather have a card grasped in his hands.


    After all, the current Ye Yuan had already matured to the degree that did not allow him to ignore.


    Lions would go all out to hunt a rabbit. Zhao Tianyin would not make light of this boy who rose up heaven-defyingly.


    One had to know that many things that he arranged single-handedly were all wrecked at this boy''s hands.


    Looking at the present situation, most likely over at the Endless World, it was also more ominous than propitious already.


    Shangguan Wenrui had brought ten half-step Boundless Realms over. If they had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan before, then Ye Yuan''s current strength really could not be underestimated.


    Of course, Zhao Tianyin was simply unable to imagine that Ye Yuan was all too clear on the gap between Boundless Realm and Divine Traversing Realm!


    If he did not have 100% certainty, how could he possibly come to the Central Capital alone?


    Ye Yuan clenched his fists tightly, giving off cracking sounds. His nails were already embedded in the flesh, piercing his palm open.


    Fresh blood flowed down along the palm, but he was seemingly oblivious!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and slowly shut his eyes.


    Soundlessly, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm.


    When Ye Yuan opened both eyes once more, that scarlet red color already disappeared. But the cold intent in his gaze still did not fade away.


    "Speak then. What conditions do you want before you''re willing to release them?!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Taking Ye Yuan''s transformation entirely into his sights, Zhao Tianyin was also very amazed in his heart. This boy indeed could not be underestimated, to actually recover his cool so quickly!


    If it were others, they would probably have rushed forward without heed for anything already.


    Martial artists in the midst of rage were scary. But martial artists that lost proper restraint, no matter how furious, could only be played with on the palms of others.


    The reason why Zhao Tianyin did this was in order to infuriate Ye Yuan.


    Earlier, he did it. But now . . . he failed.


    From the look in Ye Yuan''s eyes, Zhao Tianyin judged that he absolutely would not commit that kind of low-level mistake.


    However . . . so what then?


    As long as Ye Hang husband and wife were in his hands, Ye Yuan would have to be cautious in taking action.


    "Huhu, recovered your cool so quickly. Rather somewhat exceeded my expectations. Looks like you''re really quite different from those who think themselves to be geniuses!" Zhao Tianyin said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "Enough crap. State your terms!"


    Zhao Tianyin shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, "Relax a little. The terms can be discussed! If you cripple your cultivation, I''ll release them!"


    The moment these words came out, a wave of hubbub involuntarily came from below.


    In the Fierce Gale World, Zhao Tianyin was a paramount existence. He normally very rarely appeared in the eyes of the public.


    But his actions today made quite a number of people all feel somewhat subverted.


    Although in the martial artist world, the victor was king, using this kind of method to deal with a youth who was a major boundary lower than him was truly a little too shameless.


    When Shi Haoran heard these words, he could not resist cursing, "Utterly contemptible! Zhao Tianyin is truly too shameless! To actually even utter this sort of words!"


    "Yesh! If Little Junior Brother crippled his own cultivation, wouldn''t he be a fish on the chopping board, free to be sliced up at will?" Second Senior Apprentice Brother Tang Zhi said furiously.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly when he heard that and said, "Are you insulting my intelligence? Such an absurd condition, do you think that I''d agree? Get to work then. But you''ll have to be prepared to receive my wrath!"


    Actually, now that it came to this, Zhao Tianyin really became somewhat fearful of Ye Yuan.


    Because Ye Yuan was too calm!


    How could such a calm person do something without any assurance at all?


    Ye Yuan daring to barge into the Central Capital alone indicated that he at least thought that he had the strength to have a showdown with him!


    Adding in some conjectures from before, perhaps Ye Yuan really had the strength to threaten Boundless Realms.


    Zhao Tianyin obviously knew that Ye Yuan would not agree to this kind of terms. He was only testing the waters just now. The result was that Ye Yuan was still terrifyingly calm!


    "Alright then. Since you''re not willing to cripple your cultivation. Then . . . beating yourself to severe injuries . . . this condition shouldn''t be hard, right?" Zhao Tianyin said.


    Ye Yuan did not answer right away but fell silent. He was thinking of countermeasures.


    But with Zhao Tianyin''s cunningness, how could he give him this opportunity?


    He shook the metal chain in his hand immediately. That metal cage being shaken like this swayed tremendously in the air.


    Ye Hang husband and wife were knocked around everywhere by the swaying. Very soon, their foreheads had blackish-red bloodstains bumped out.


    Even though they, husband and wife couple, were martial artists and their bodies were very powerful, the hardness of this metal cage was comparable to profound artifacts. How could they withstand it?


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Hold it! I . . . accede to you!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan raised his hand. A palm smacked onto his chest without holding back at all!


    Puhwark!


    Ye Yuan''s blow did not show leniency. A mouthful of blood sprayed out immediately.


    Zhao Tianyin was cunning like a fox. He could not fool him at all.


    Being knocked like this, Ye Hang actually slowly woke up.


    His eyes looked around for a while rather vacantly and just happened to see the scene where Ye Yuan beat himself to severe injuries, gluing his eyes onto Ye Yuan''s body.


    Ye Hang''s tears flowed out from his eyes. Using all the strength in his body, he shouted to Ye Yuan, "Yuan-er! Quickly leave! Don''t bother about us! With a son like you, your mother and I are incomparably proud!"

 700 The Words sFilial Pietys!

    Ye Yuan receiving a palm of his own, his innards were like rivers and seas being overturned.


    Hearing Ye Hang''s yell, Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, "Rest assured, Father. Your child will definitely bring you guys back safely!"


    "Haha! You can''t even fend for yourself anymore, and you''re still talking big here! I want to see just how you bring them out today!" Zhao Tianyin chortled with laughter delightedly.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, and he said icily, "I already did it in accordance with what you said. Could it be that you''re going to go back on your words?"


    But Zhao Tianyin shook his head and said with a laugh, "Do you take me for a fool? Even though that palm wasn''t light, it was still within the scope that you can endure. This bit of injury doesn''t have much impact on you."


    Ye Yuan''s current physical body was incomparably powerful. This palm looked very powerful, but Ye Yuan''s injuries were indeed still within a controllable limit.


    But that palm earlier was absolutely not light. He did not think that Zhao Tianyin this fellow was actually still unsatisfied!


    "Then what do you want before you''re happy?!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    "Hit until I''m happy!" Zhao Tianyin said coolly.


    "Yuan-er, don''t listen to him! If you beat yourself to severe injuries, wouldn''t you be at his mercy?" Ye Hang said with a quivering voice.


    Ye Yuan gave Zhao Tianyin a glance icily and took a look at his father in the cage again. Clenching his teeth, another palm smacked onto his own chest.


    This palm was even heavier compared to that palm earlier. Ye Yuan spewed out a mouthful of blood again.


    But Zhao Tianyin shook his head and said, "Still not enough!"


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, smashing another palm onto his chest.


    This palm, he sent himself flying out directly!


    Ye Yuan forcefully propped himself to stand up, but could not even stand steadily anymore.


    When Ye Hang saw his son being injured until like this for him, veins popped out all over his body.


    He shouted to Ye Yuan at the top of his voice, "Yuan-er, don''t hit anymore! Father has let you down. You must kill this fiend!"


    Finished talking, Ye Hang raised his hand and was about to smack towards the top of his skull!


    Seeing this scene, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of Zhao Tianyin''s mouth.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly howled, "If you dare to commit suicide, your child will die right here for you to see!"


    That palm of Ye Hang''s already reached in front of his head. But hearing this sentence, it was forcefully stopped!


    Seeing Ye Hang stop, Ye Yuan yelled out, "Father, don''t you trust your child?"


    Ye Hang''s tears poured out like tidewater. He was incredibly remorseful towards Ye Yuan in his heart as he wept and said, "Yuan-er, Father trusts you!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Father with a firm gaze, nodded his head, and said, "Father just watch! If I don''t kill this beast today, your child is lesser than human!"


    "Hahaha! What a touching scene! However . . . you''re already like this now. What do you have to come and kill me? Looks like your wounds are still not severe enough. Continue hitting! Hit until you can''t speak!" Zhao Tianyin laughed loudly and said.


    Ye Yuan glared at Zhao Tianyin viciously. Lifting his hand, it was another palm!


    One palm followed another. Even if Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was powerful, it also sustained extremely severe injuries at this time!


    His clothes were already soaked by his own fresh blood, looking gruesomely terrible.


    "Little Junior Brother, don''t hit anymore! If you carry on hitting, you''ll die!" Shi Haoran seriously could not carry on watching, and could not refrain from coming forward and yelled loudly to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan turned his head around and gave Shi Haoran a grateful smile. But that smile somewhat had the taste of a hero in his sunset years.


    Ye Yuan''s miserable condition also made the countenance of those Fierce Gale World martial artists below changed.


    Even if they were the hostile side, they also gave rise to sympathy for Ye Yuan at this time.


    Ye Yuan''s filial piety moved every single one present.


    Regardless of which world they were born in, the meaning of the words ''filial piety'' were all the same.


    Ye Yuan clearly knew that this was extremely detrimental to him, but he did this to himself without hesitation.


    Martial artists cultivating the Dao were extremely self-centered, which was also relatively selfish. Ye Yuan doing this to this sort of degree for his parents, how many people among them were able to do it?


    How could Ye Yuan''s filial piety not visibly move them?


    Zhao Tianyin''s methods were overly beneath contempt. Making use of Ye Yuan''s filial piety and doing this kind of actions, but did not dare to confront head-on.


    Was this person really their king?


    For countless years, the people of the Fierce Gale World had doubts towards their own faith for the first time.


    However, no matter how miserably Ye Yuan hit himself, he would always crawl to his feet stubbornly.


    This time, he dragged his weary body and asked Zhao Tianyin, "S-Satisfied?"


    Zhao Tianyin lifted his head to the sky and laughed as he said, "Hahaha . . . haha . . . Ye Yuan, I admit that you''re an upstanding man! However, the path of Martial Dao is destined to be lonely. A person like you is doomed to not live long! Hahaha . . . on account of you having such sincerity, I''ll return them to you!"


    Zhao Tianyin shook the iron chain in his hand. That metal cage flew straight in Ye Yuan''s direction!


    Ye Yuan resisted the intense pain all over his body, gritting his teeth as he reached his hand out to receive that metal cage.


    Right then, a hint of a hideous grin flashed across the corners of Zhao Tianyin''s mouth. Muttering incantations from his mouth, he cried out, "Detonate!"


    This sound reverberated throughout the sky, stunning everybody!


    Those martial artists had never thought before that a person could be shameless to such a degree!


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s arms had just touched that Profound Iron Cage. He grabbed hold of Ye Hang and Ren Hongling''s arms. Boundless essence energy gushed forth, instantly enveloping the two of them tightly!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Over a hundred Tier 5 Pyroblast Talismans exploded at the same time. The power was unimaginable!


    With Ye Hang husband and wife''s strength, if they got caught even just by a bit of the explosion, they would also be blown to dust!


    Ye Yuan maneuvered out all of his essence energy to protect his parents, while he himself used his physical body to forcefully withstand these hundreds of Pyroblast Talismans'' explosion!


    Ye Yuan was directly blasted flying out ten thousand feet away.


    However, his hands grabbed hold of the metal cage tightly, his entire person being blown flying out together along with the metal cage.


    The instant he landed, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, putting the metal cage away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, while he himself fell heavily onto the ground.


    This time, Ye Yuan did not crawl to his feet again!


    "Hahaha! Foolish boy! In this world, is there anything more important than your own life? For others, you''d actually rather go die yourself. Couldn''t be more foolish! But precisely because of your foolishness that it also saved me the trouble! Now . . . I''ll send you on your way!" Zhao Tianyin flew to not far away from Ye Yuan and roared with laughter.


    His palm raised up and was just about to smack towards Ye Yuan''s body when Star Abyss finally could not hold back from making a move!


    "Zhao Tianyin! You''re simply shameless to the max! Don''t think about touching Ye Yuan!"


    Zhao Tianyin gave him a glance coldly and casually swung a palm out, sending Star Abyss flying out immediately!


    "Humph! A puny little Alchemy Sovereign being insolent in front of this Monarch time and again. Do you really take it as I don''t dare to do anything to you? Our Fierce Gale World, this sort of remote land, presumably even if I kill you, the Alchemist Association wouldn''t look into it either!" Towards Star Abyss, Zhao Tianyin finally could not tolerate him any longer.


    "Master!" Shi Haoran they all caught Star Abyss.


    Just one blow made Star Abyss suffer heavy injuries!


    But Zhao Tianyin placed the target on Ye Yuan again very quickly, saying with a hideous grin, "Weren''t you very cocky just now? Didn''t you say that you were going to kill me? Now, I want to see just who is killing who!"


    Zhao Tianyin waved a hand and condensed out a sword of essence energy, stabbing towards Ye Yuan!

 701 This Punch!

    Boom!


    Dirt sprayed around, debris flying everywhere. The place where Ye Yuan was at had a huge pit blasted out directly by violent essence energy, kicking up enormous amounts of dust.


    Star Abyss and the others, they all turned their heads aside painfully, unable to bear looking at the appearance of Ye Yuan being blasted into residue.


    Under this blow of Zhao Tianyin''s, Ye Yuan absolutely did not have the possibility of surviving.


    This blow going down, the entire world seemingly restored its tranquility. There were only those flying sand and rolling pebbles still surging in the air.


    Many martial artists'' faces all revealed looks of unable to bear it.


    Ye Yuan''s actions touched that softest heart-chord in the hearts of every martial artists present.


    No matter how stone-hearted martial artists were, their hearts were made out of flesh too.


    "Hahaha . . . Foolish boy! A weak and irresolute guy like you actually dares to come and kill me! Really foolish to the max!" Zhao Tianyin let out a burst of roaring laughter.


    He was currently being pleased with himself and did not notice that there were quite a few martial artists shooting contemptuous gazes at him.


    "What a shame. Such a formidable young genius actually fell just like this!


    "Yeah. Having such strength at a tender age, truly remarkable! More importantly, he''s bold and forthright. Once he grows up in the future, he would absolutely be a mighty world-shaking figure!"


    "Not even daring to have a direct confrontation with such an opponent who''s worthy of respect, sigh . . ."


    In the capital, there were quite a number of people commenting at length softly.


    Zhao Tianyin was still that most exalted king. But a change silently occurred regarding his status in the hearts of his subject.


    Just as everyone all relaxed their efforts, an extremely wild energy undulation suddenly came from inside that enormous dust-cloud!


    Zhao Tianyin''s expression changed drastically. A feeling of immense danger instantly enveloped his entire body!


    "Eight Desolate Skyfiend Palm!"


    In a flurry, Zhao Tianyin directly mustered up a Boundless Realm''s horrifying essence energy, blasting it over towards inside the dust cloud!


    Right at this time, a massive azure dragon tore open the dust cloud directly. Bringing a dragon roar that resounded to the skies, it rumbled directly towards Zhao Tianyin!


    This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was far more than a hundred times more powerful than when annihilating Shangguan Wenrui back then.


    The Fierce Gale World was a high-order small world. The degree of stableness of the space was much stronger compared to the Endless World.


    And this blow of Ye Yuan''s actually compressed space until cracks appeared!


    When Ye Yuan was at the Soul Sea Realm, he was already infinitely close to Boundless Realm when using the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Now that he broke through a major boundary, the power of this move was naturally a level higher!


    The might of this palm already surpassed the limits that space could bear!


    The places it passed through, space was fragmented inch by inch!


    Zhao Tianyin''s attack had yet to be fully executed, and he was already struck by the azure dragon solidly already!


    "Puhwark!"


    Zhao Tianyin directly spouted out a mouthful of blood in the air, his body flying out like a kite with a broken string.


    A figure dashed out of the dust like lightning and actually caught up to Zhao Tianyin with even swifter speed!


    Boom!


    The force of the one palm had not dissipated fully yet. That silhouette followed up with another punch!


    "This punch is a hit for all life under the heaven!"


    Thick killing intent leaked out from Ye Yuan''s words, reverberating throughout the entire capital.


    Who else could this figure be but Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan''s current physical body was incomparably formidable. This punch was also unleashed using the fist force of the Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage. The lethality was extremely strong, but would not be fatal too.


    The punch reaching flesh, Zhao Tianyin spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood again with a cough, his body flying out backward once more!


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved once more, instantly arriving at Zhao Tianyin in the air, and punched right in his abdomen with a rumble!


    "Puhwark!"


    Zhao Tianyin spat a mouthful of blood out. He was hit until his eyeballs protruded out.


    "This punch is a hit for myself! Receive well!"


    Zhao Tianyin suffering this punch, his body dropped down with extreme speed.


    However, Ye Yuan''s speed was even faster than his, arriving under him like teleporting. A hook punch hit Zhao Tianyin''s lumbar spine directly, hitting him up to the sky again!


    "This punch is for my father!"


    "This punch is for my mother!"


    "This punch is for Star Abyss!"


    "This punch is for Shi Haoran!"


    . . . . . .


    The current Ye Yuan was like a rampaging wild beast. Each punch was filled with violent strength.


    Furthermore, each punch he struck out, Ye Yuan could say out a name.


    In the end, Ye Yuan practically said all the names of people that he could think of once. Even he himself could not remember clearly how many fists he punched either.


    The pent-up rage previously obtained a release in these punches after punches.


    Everyone started dumbfoundedly at this time, uncertain why the situation would reverse so quickly.


    Ye Yuan clearly did not have the strength to retaliate previously already. In a blink of an eye, he actually came back to life with full health?


    But Ye Yuan beating the king in their hearts until like this, not knowing why, they actually felt quite thrilled in their hearts!


    Maybe they were too disappointed with Zhao Tianyin today, right?


    "I have nothing more to say either!"


    Finally, Ye Yuan seriously could not think of who he should hit for, so he smashed a punch onto Zhao Tianyin''s chest directly, hitting him down from the air.


    Zhao Tianyin''s body was like a cannonball, smashing heavily onto the ground, blasting out a huge pit in the ground!


    Some martial artists saw from far away that a peerless powerhouse of his generation was actually beaten until he did not have human form anymore.


    However, Zhao Tianyin was a Boundless Realm powerhouse in the end. Being beaten until like this by Ye Yuan, he actually still had one breath hanging in there.


    Ye Yuan landed slowly from the air, landing beside Zhao Tianyin.


    The cause of the bulk of Ye Yuan''s wrath was due to his parents. Zhao Tianyin treating Ye Hang husband and wife like that previously, it made him unable to endure it.


    This round of beating, Ye Yuan did not pull his punches the slightest bit, unleashing all the strength in his body, and also venting a greater part of the rage in his heart.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan''s actions were extremely swift. Everyone did not see clearly Ye Yuan''s condition at all.


    Only with Ye Yuan standing still at this time did everyone discover that he did not come back to life with full health.


    Zhao Tianyin''s shamelessness from before still caused Ye Yuan tremendous damage.


    Ye Yuan was currently covered in wounds all over, his essence energy expended to the limit, looking very frail.


    It was very hard for everyone to imagine just how he achieved that sort of high-intensity attacks earlier!


    "W-Why . . . is it . . . like this?" Zhao Tianyin hung onto one last breath. Until now, he still did not dare to believe everything that happened prior to this.


    Ye Yuan''s wounds were absolutely not fake. That simply could not deceive his eyes at all.


    Moreover, the final explosion, Ye Yuan used all of his essence energy to protect Ye Hang husband and wife, and he himself forcefully suffered the explosive power of hundreds of Tier 5 Pyroblast Talismans.


    If it were others, they would already be deader than dead long ago!


    Yet, Ye Yuan actually still had the strength to retaliate under such severe injuries!


    Could it be that this fellow . . . was a freak?


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Do you think that I have the need to tell you? A person like you is only fit to be a muddled ghost! A person like you, exploiting your subjects'' loyalty to you, and you made them become other people''s nutrients. Deplorable! A person like you, plunging the people into an abyss of suffering for your own selfish desires. Selfish! A person like you, stopping at nothing for the sake of victory. Despicable! Therefore, you''re not fit at all to know why you would fail!"

 702 New Wind Emperor

    "I . . . I''m . . . I''m unresigned!"


    Zhao Tianyin was already on his dying breath. But that desire to live on in his eyes was incomparably intense.


    Facing death, even if he was a high and mighty king, he could not achieve composure either.


    Ye Yuan had to thank Long Teng for being able to strike back.


    The last time he helped to pummel the dragon lord brutally, Long Teng became happy and taught Ye Yuan a dragon race cultivation method again. The name was Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art!


    This was a cultivation method which exerted the dragon race''s physical body to the extreme!


    Ye Yuan cultivating this cultivation method could stimulate the dragon blood power in his body, making his physical body possess a powerful recovery ability!


    The present Ye Yuan still only had an initial glimpse of the door.


    Wait until he trained this cultivation method to the extreme, and it could virtually make his fleshy body reach the degree of undying and eternal!


    Of course, Long Teng told Ye Yuan that unless one was able to reach the Deity Realm, otherwise, it was simply impossible to train to that sort of level.


    This was the limitation of a bloodline. A divine beast''s bloodline was two completely different concepts from ordinary dragon race bloodline.


    Even so, this move was also extremely formidable.


    When Ye Yuan was suffering the Pyroblast Talismans'' explosions, he mustered up all the dragon blood power in his entire body, going all out to restore his body''s wounds!


    Although the Pyroblast Talismans were powerful, they were only Tier 5 talismans in the end. The injuries dealt to Ye Yuan from the explosive power, he finished recovering very quickly.


    "Unresigned huh? Then those people killed by you, which one of them were willing?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Although Zhao Tianyin''s injuries were extremely severe, he was conscious.


    At this time, the corners of his eyes actually had tears flowing down. No idea if he was regretting deeply or mourning for himself either.


    But his tears did not obtain a single trace of pity.


    Ye Yuan was still revolving the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art at this time, restoring the injuries on his body continuously.


    "I can give you a chance. Say out the person instigating behind you, and I can consider giving you a way out!" Ye Yuan suddenly changed his tune and said.


    In comparison to Zhao Tianyin, Ye Yuan was actually more wary of the person, or force behind him.


    Not that Ye Yuan was kind and soft-hearted. It was just that toward people like Zhao Tianyin, if Ye Yuan did not give him something sweet, he absolutely would not be willing to say it out.


    Ye Yuan naturally very much wanted to kill Zhao Tianyin too. But he was even more interested in the force behind Zhao Tianyin.


    But Ye Yuan obviously would not do something like letting the tiger return to the mountains. Him not killing Zhao Tianyin did not mean not turning him into a cripple!


    Indeed, when Zhao Tianyin heard Ye Yuan''s words, his gaze involuntarily turned intent. Clearly, he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually knew so much. But his expression became complicated very quickly. Evidently, he was struggling incessantly in his heart.


    "You''ve done so much for them. But aren''t you just a dog in their eyes? You, a First Level Boundless Realm, being stagnant for such a long time. With their strength, they could have let you ascend to the Divine Realm long ago. But in the end?" Ye Yuan said.


    The moment Zhao Tianyin heard, his body involuntarily started to tremble slightly.


    Evidently, Ye Yuan''s words touched the most painful place in his heart.


    Ye Yuan seeing that he was loosening up, carried on and said, "Hence, stop having some unrealistic dreams already. Maybe in their eyes, you''re even less than a dog! Or, do you really think that you''re irreplaceable? As long as they are willing, they can swap other people to be this Wind Emperor anytime!"


    When Ye Yuan was saying this, he clearly felt Zhao Tianyin''s body becoming stiff.


    "F-Fine . . ." Zhao Tianyin barely squeezed out a word.


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he asked, "You say. I''ll listen."


    "Blood . . ."


    Zhao Tianyin only said one word and a horrifying aura came from a distance!


    Ye Yuan had a sudden premonition. Only to see a black stream of light arriving in front of him in a blink of an eye!


    This horrifying aura absolutely belonged to Boundless Realm!


    Ye Yuan was astonished in his heart but did not have time to think too much, hurriedly dodging aside.


    The black stream of light had a force akin to 30 thousand catties. Its speed was unbelievably fast.


    Ye Yuan wanted to go and save Zhao Tianyin, but it was essentially too late already.


    Puchi!


    The black flowing light stabbed into Zhao Tianyin''s body without deviating, instantly wrecking all chances of survival.


    And only at this time did the people realise that that black stream of light was actually a black-colored heavy spear!


    Black qi revolved around the black spear. Just by looking, it made people feel a chill deep in their hearts.


    Zhao Tianyin clenched his jaws tightly, both eyes protruding out, staring dead at that black figure in the air. Till death, he did not believe that this person would make a move to eradicate him.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze also locked onto that silhouette, his expression darkening slightly.


    That person was swathed in black qi all around his body and could not make out his features at all. But Ye Yuan had a sensation of deja vu.


    The feeling that this person gave him was exceedingly dangerous, even more dangerous than Zhao Tianyin!


    He never would have expected that the Fierce Gale World was actually still hiding another Boundless Realm powerhouse!


    Under everyone''s gazes, the person slowly landed from the air, landing beside Zhao Tianyin.


    Clank!


    He pulled the heavy spear straight out of Zhao Tianyin''s body. Fresh blood sprayed right out. Zhao Tianyin''s head slanted, already deader than dead.


    It was just that his eyes were still wide-open at this time. Clearly, he died with injustice unredressed.


    "Ye Yuan, you didn''t expect this, right? We meet again!" That person swung the long spear and said coldly.


    Black silhouette, long spear!


    Ye Yuan finally connected this image in front of him with a person!


    "Zhao Chenggan!"


    "Heh heh, to think that you still remember me! Didn''t expect it right, that I could still stand in front of you one day and wash away my former disgrace!"


    This person being surrounded by black qi was actually Seventh Prince, Zhao Chenggan!


    "His Highness, the Seventh Prince! It''s actually His Highness, the Seventh Prince! He . . . Didn''t he had his dantian crippled by Ye Yuan? This . . . What''s going on here?"


    "Seventh Prince''s temperament changed drastically. He must have experienced something that we have no way of imagining! But looking at his aura now, he actually became a Boundless Realm powerhouse already! How is this possible?"


    "Seventh Prince actually killed his own father with his own hands! This father and son pair, they are seriously . . ."


    "All shut up for me! Starting from today onwards, I''m the new Wind Emperor! Zhao Tianyin''s era has already completely become the past!" Zhao Chenggan suddenly roared, saying to everyone in the capital.


    Those martial artists were originally discussing animatedly. But at this time, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    Zhao Chenggan''s imposing momentum was too powerful. They simply could not muster up the courage to resist.


    "Huhu, you killed your own father in front of so many subjects. Could it be that you''re hoping they would submit to a person like you?"


    Ye Yuan''s swept a glance over. Seeing that most people had an indignant expression but did not dare to speak up, he could not help laughing mockingly.


    But Zhao Chenggan did not become angry. He still said coldly, "Could it be that in this world, only he is permitted to murder his children, while I''m not allowed to murder my father? Are you aware of how the royal descendants spent so many years? Starting from the moment we were born, we would engage in a cruel competition between us brothers! In the end, only the most outstanding person will be able to live on! Third Elder Brother was like so, I''m like that too! Third Elder Brother was forsaken by him without any hesitation just because he offended Star Abyss! The last time, being crippled by you, I''d already thought that I was certain to die. Who knew that God opened his eyes and made me have another fortuitous encounter! Hahaha! Let me ask you, should a father like that not be killed?"

 703 Frontal Clash

    Within Zhao Tianyin''s words, his resentment soared to the heaven but gave people a feeling of pity.


    Born in a royal family, one had no free will.


    The mortal world was like so, let alone a monarch who was in control of a world.


    With Zhao Tianyin''s character, it was naturally impossible to have any gentle measures.


    As his son, it was also considered a tragedy for Zhao Chenggan.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any sympathy for him. Zhao Chenggan here was a typical case of wallowing in degeneration, selling his soul for strength; not worth sympathy at all.


    "He deserves to be killed, but he shouldn''t be killed by you! You want to be this Wind Emperor, but what can you convince the masses with?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhao Tianyin said in a cold voice, "With what? Of course, it''s with my strength! I''m a Boundless Realm powerhouse now, whose strength is even more powerful than Zhao Tianyin''s! They all . . . Who dares to not yield?!"


    As he said, Zhao Chenggan swept a glance over everyone. Places that his gaze reached, those people all lowered their heads one after another.


    "Je je je, you saw that? The martial artist world, only by possessing strength, can one obtain respect! I''m the Fierce Gale World''s number one person! Who dares to not submit!" Zhao Chenggan laughed sinisterly.


    Ye Yuan gave him a rather pitiful glance and said coolly, "Respect? You''re thinking too much. You don''t understand the significance of this word at all. Forget it. Looking at your appearance, rambling about these with you is also useless. Looks like the support behind you all have already forsaken Zhao Tianyin, but switched to choosing you. Since you killed Zhao Tianyin, then it will be up to you to tell me the identity of your master then."


    Zhao Chenggan killing Zhao Tianyin with a spear was clearly in order to silence a man in order to keep a secret, afraid that he would divulge the secret.


    But sadly, Zhao Tianyin only said a word, ''blood,'' and was killed with Zhao Chenggan.


    The forces carrying the word ''blood'' in the Divine Realm were too many to enumerate. One word was simply unable to determine just which force it was.


    "Je je je, do you think that you can be arrogant in front of me by defeating Zhao Tianyin? Let me tell you, even if he was at his prime, me killing him is also as easy is flipping my hands!" Zhao Chenggan said with a cold laugh.


    The current Zhao Chenggan was very different from Ye Yuan''s impression back then. It could be said to be two entirely different people.


    Although the Zhao Chenggan back then was overbearing, he had an aura of disdaining all under the heavens. But the present Zhao Chenggan was ghastly like a ghost, giving people a chill without even speaking a word.


    No one knew what kind of remolding he experienced these few years.


    "Whether or not I have the qualifications to be arrogant in front of you, wouldn''t you know after fighting?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh, I had a full view of your battle with Zhao Tianyin. That palm was indeed incomparably daunting. But that should be your ace in the hole, right? However . . . just based on that one palm, you can''t win me!"


    Zhao Chenggan''s voice had yet to fade, and his entire person already vanished from where he was!


    "Blood Carnage Fiendshadow Spear!


    A terrifying sanguine power spread out, instantly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    The black qi on the spear body also carried an exceedingly gloomy cold aura, charging towards Ye Yuan.


    Of course, the scariest thing was still that heavy spear!


    A straightforward spear, without the slightest trace of flashiness. But like Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, it made the space unable to withstand and fragment.


    It was just that the powerful restoration ability of the space patched up these cracks very quickly.


    "So powerful! When did Seventh Prince possess such formidable strength?"


    "Seventh Prince''s cultivation method and martial technique are all vastly different from before; this is akin to casting off his old self and being reborn!"


    "Yeah. His attack clearly isn''t targeted at me. But I feel discomfort all over my body! However . . . his attack is really very strong! Absolutely not beneath that palm of Ye Yuan''s!"


    "Could it be that . . . such a person will be our king in the future? Then how will our days be after this?!"


    On this very day, all of the Fierce Gale World''s royal family''s filthiness was all laid bare in front of the world.


    Looking at Zhao Chenggan''s character now, if he were to become the wind emperor, there probably would not be good days to live in the future either.


    Facing this spear comparable to the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan did not dare to slight it either, directly utilizing the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, blocking the sanguine power completely outside his body.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan unleashed a palm without any hesitation!


    An azure and a black, two attacks, collided together fiercely, slamming out a massive shockwave directly.


    Rumble!


    The buildings in the vicinity of Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan were directly shocked to dust by the aftershock, collapsing with a loud bang!


    Those martial artists were long prepared and already retreated very far away. But there were still quite a number of people being affected.


    Those whose strength were slightly weaker were even shocked to death immediately!


    The first round, evenly-matched in strength!


    "Je je je, didn''t expect that my sanguine power actually can''t influence you! Ye Yuan, your methods are truly quite a lot!'' Zhao Chenggan said with a strange laugh.


    The essence energy within Ye Yuan''s body surged. It was very unpleasant under this blow.


    It was not that his strength was lacking, but the injuries he sustained previously were too severe. Even if he had consumed essence energy recovery medicinal pills and the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, it was also not possible to recover to his peak state in a short duration.


    And Zhao Chenggan attacking at this time was in his prime condition. He naturally held a very dominant position.


    It was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would have no strength at all to battle again at this time.


    Facing such a peerlessly formidable blow, who could still have the strength to counterattack?


    But Zhao Chenggan''s strength indeed could not be mentioned in the same breath anymore.


    Putting aside other things, just the might of this one spear, was far, far more powerful compared to when he fought with Ye Yuan back then.


    If he cultivated normally to the Boundless Realm, there was absolutely no way to attain this kind of strength!


    "Heretic and unorthodox path! Just this bit of means and you want to deal with me?"


    This spear of Zhao Chenggan, integrating together, was absolutely formidable to the extreme. But losing the threat of the sanguine power, its might would have to be greatly discounted.


    The effect of sanguine power on ordinary martial artists was huge. In a battle, it could even determine victory or defeat.


    But this move did not work on Ye Yuan, No matter how powerful it was, it was useless too.


    "Ha! Truly shameless boasting! If I didn''t guess it wrongly, that palm move earlier was already your limit, right? But that spear move just now, I can unleash it limitlessly! I want to see how many times you can use that level of palm force!"


    Finished talking, Zhao Chenggan actually lifted his spear once again!


    It was still the exact same attack!


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. He had no choice but to use the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm once more.


    The power of this spear of Zhao Chenggan''s was extremely strong. Other martial techniques probably could not receive it at all!


    This fellow was forcing him to clash head-on with him!


    Relying on his condition being at the peak, he wanted to use the strongest martial technique to clash head-on with him.


    Powerful martial techniques were immensely taxing on the body. With Ye Yuan''s current body condition, he was unable to hold up at all.


    This kind of confrontation way was a little too shameless.


    Boom!


    Another clash. The area in the vicinity of Ye Yuan and Zhao Chenggan were already fully rubble and rock fragments, becoming a wasteland.


    Receiving this blow, Ye Yuan tasted sweetness in his throat, and finally could not bear it and spat blood.


    "Haha! Liberating! Again!" Zhao Chenggan said with a big laugh.


    As he said, Zhao Chenggan held his spear and went forward again!

 704 Rending the Sky!

    One spear followed another. Zhao Chenggan''s vigor was seemingly inexhaustible!


    If Ye Yuan was at his peak condition, there was naturally no harm in fighting it out with him. But this sort of situation right now already made him pile injury on top of injuries.


    "Haha, Ye Yuan, why are you getting weaker and weaker? I regarded you as an adversary of a lifetime. Your performance disappoints me greatly!'' Zhao Chenggan said haughtily.


    Clashing five to six times in a row, Ye Yuan''s body was already reaching its limits.


    It was true that the dragon race''s physical body was powerful. But no matter how powerful, it had to have a limit as well.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was not considered high. It was too far away from the degree of undying and imperishable.


    The two people fought from land to the air. Each impact would make the entire capital tremble.


    These two people, their offensive power were seriously too formidable!


    "Master, the situation is not good! If this continues, Little Junior Brother is going to lose!" Shi Haoran still called Ye Yuan little junior brother out of habit.


    Star Abyss''s injuries had yet to heal at this time. He could only heave a sigh and say, "This degree of fighting, is simply not what we are able to get involved in! Now that it came to this, we can only hope that Ye Yuan can have a miraculous move to win."


    Shi Haoran could not help choking up when he heard that.


    Yeah. Boundless Realm level great battle, he did not have the qualifications of joining in at all.


    If he got close, the aftershocks of the two people''s battle were able to instantly kill him.


    Shi Haoran looked at his little junior brother falling back repeatedly in the air, looking forward for a miracle to happen in his heart anxiously.


    Boom!


    Another clash. Ye Yuan was directly knocked back 10 thousand feet away, fresh blood spurting out crazily.


    "Tsk tsk, Ye Yuan, aren''t you known as an unparalleled genius hard to come across in 10 thousand years? Why do you only have this bit of strength? I became this manner today all for the sake of having a showdown with you once more! Can''t you bring out a little of some special skill and let me witness the power and prestige of an unparalleled genius?" Zhao Chenggan said with a smug look.


    Ye Yuan wiped the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth and suddenly said with a smile, "Zhao Chenggan, you''re equally as worthless as your old man! Even if you''ve fallen into depravity and forcefully increased your strength, you''re a craven rat too!"


    The moment Zhao Chenggan heard this, his entire person suddenly flew into a violent rage and said, "Don''t put me in the same category as that fellow! In front of me, he isn''t even fit to carry my shoes!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so? You prate on and one about how I''m your adversary of a lifetime. But you don''t even have the courage to have a frontal battle! Isn''t it that . . . you still have some fear towards me in your heart? Looks like that battle last time still left an indelible shadow in your heart."


    Ye Yuan clearly made Zhao Chenggan lose his composure.


    "You shut your mouth for me! I''m a high and mighty Boundless Realm powerhouse! Whence the fear in my heart? Are you trying to use words to mess up my state of mind, and seek an opportunity to exploit? Haha, dream on!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Merely a vanquished foe. Why do I need to upset your state of mind? Being at the Boundless Realm let you find this sort of illusionary sense of satisfaction. Really ignorant! A person like you is simply unable to understand what''s called genuine might! However, it looks like your mental demon is planted deeply and you''re simply unable to transcend the tribulation of ascension already."


    "I asked you shut your mouth, didn''t you hear?! After I kill you, I''ll be able to transcend the tribulation of ascension all the same! Just the likes of you also wish to stop my path of ascension?" Zhao Chenggan suddenly became berserk.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred. Xuanying Sword appeared in his hand.


    All of a sudden, there was a turn of events!


    Ye Yuan held the Xuanying Sword, looking at Zhao Chenggan from a distance and said, "Zhao Chenggan, before you die, I''ll give you a lesson! Being a dog, you will forever be unable to obtain powerful strength! Today, I''ll let you have a look at what''s called a genuine powerhouse!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan waved the longsword. A stirring and majestic aura spread out.


    Storms suddenly started raging in the originally calm and peaceful capital.


    Above the firmament, no idea where the dark clouds came from either, it actually blotted out the sky and obscured the sun!


    The sword intent on Ye Yuan''s body surged towards the skies!


    His entire being seemed to have become the embodiment of heaven and earth. And within this stretch of heaven and earth, there were intangible sword intent wandering about everywhere!


    "W-What a powerful aura! This . . . Is this sword intent? How can an individual''s sword intent possibly be powerful to such an extent?"


    "This degree of sword intent probably far surpassed true intent already, right? Why do I have the feeling that what Zhao Chenggan is facing is the entire world of sword intent?"


    "Truly too terrifying! Is this a genuine powerhouse? A sovereign descending upon the world, but not tyrannical. Eclipsing this present age, but not riding roughshod over others! This Ye Yuan actually made me have an impulse to prostrate in worship!"


    "Yeah. This is a true king; this is totally different from the feeling Zhao Chenggan gives people!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword move had yet to be released, but it already made the world change color because of it!


    The Fierce Gale World martial artists were actually brought into submission by him!


    Ye Yuan''s might made people give birth to the feeling of being unrivaled!


    No matter how powerful a person was, there was also no way to be more powerful than a world. But Ye Yuan right now became the incarnation of the entire world!


    When Zhao Chenggan saw this scene, his countenance could not help changing abruptly.


    He never could have dreamed that Ye Yuan actually still had strength left over to execute such a horrifying martial technique.


    Even though this move was not released yet, without needing to think, one would also know that this was bound to be an earth-shattering blow!


    Zhao Chenggan gnashed his teeth until it made grinding sounds. In a cold voice, he said, "He who strikes first prevails; he who strikes late fails! The greatest drawback of this move is that the time to unleash it takes too long!"


    Figuring out this link, Zhao Chenggan no longer hesitated. Sanguine power immediately erupted!


    "Bloodflame billowing to the skies, Spear of Absolute Tyrannism!"


    At this instant, Zhao Chenggan seemingly became the incarnation of a fiendgod.


    That bloody qi which surged to the skies all gathered onto the tip of the spear!


    He knew that sanguine power was completely useless to Ye Yuan. Hence, he directly used it to amplify his martial technique!


    And this move, it was also the most powerful attack that he was able to unleash right now!


    If it were in normal times, this move of his would absolutely be earthshaking.


    But at this time, in front of Ye Yuan, it was like a clown showing off.


    Zhao Chenggan''s aura was simply unable to shake Ye Yuan the least bit!


    But Zhao Chenggan did not care at all. He wanted to kill Ye Yuan before Ye Yuan unleashed this move.


    A spear unleashing, carried an aura which advanced with an indomitable spirit. The area it passed through, space fragmented inch by inch!


    "Go to hell!"


    Zhao Chenggan seemed to have fused into one body with the heavy spear. The might of this one spear could not be underestimated.


    He seemingly teleported, arriving directly in the place over a hundred feet in front of Ye Yuan.


    Yet . . . this distance was also his limit!


    "ARGHHH . . . !"


    Zhao Chenggan''s roared at the top of his voice, concentrating all the essence energy and sanguine power in his body all onto the tip of the spear.


    However, his spear tip was actually no longer able to advance forward even an inch anymore.


    The hundred feet radius around Ye Yuan actually had like a barrier activated. No matter how transcendent your means were, you were also unable to breach this barrier!


    Right then, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. Looking pitifully at the Zhao Chenggan who was giving it his all, he said indifferently, "One sword breaking heaven and earth, one thought shaking the firmament! Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword, Rending . . . the . . . Sky!"


    One sword out, the entire world fell silent!

 705 A Heart Which Leans Towards the Dao

    No fancy usage of essence energy, no flashy actions!


    What it was, was just a simple and unadorned sword!


    What there was, was only sword intent condensed to the limit!


    The heavy spear in Zhao Chenggan''s hand was a mid-grade profound artifact level weapon. It could be said to be indestructible.


    However, the instant Ye Yuan unleashed his sword, it actually split into two-halves directly from the spearhead!


    "Puchi!"


    The place where Zhao Chenggan was at already did not have his figure.


    The place he stood at, space at that area had a massive spatial crack slashed out!


    This spatial crack was a full thousand feet long!


    What created this spatial crack was naturally that sword of Ye Yuan''s.


    And Zhao Chenggan''s entire person was already buried in oblivion by Ye Yuan''s sword intent!


    This enormous spatial crack seemingly had an opening tore open by someone in the air. Inside was filled with violent spatial turbulent flow.


    Zhao Chenggan''s long spear was devoured by the turbulent spatial flow directly.


    It was as if that violent spatial turbulent flow wanted to swallow all of the surroundings, sucking the surrounding things towards the limitless darkness.


    Ye Yuan was merely a hundred over feet away from that spatial crack. But no matter how powerful that spatial turbulent flow''s suction force was, he was completely unmoved like a pine tree!


    The recovery ability of the space was very formidable. Very soon, that thousand feet long massive gouge was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    After several dozen breaths, the spatial crack was completely finished restoring.


    Everything returned to tranquility!


    And in this world, there was no longer Zhao Chenggan this person.


    The entire capital seemed to be an empty city at this time. Starting from just now, there had not been the slightest bit of sound.


    The shock that this one sword gave them was incomparably intense.


    So much so that after everything vanished into thin air, all of them still had not come back to their senses.


    This one sword gave them endless recollection of the aftertaste.


    This kind of sword intent which surpassed a small world was not what everyone had the opportunity to see!


    After this, who knows how many martial artists in the Fierce Gale World attained the dao because of this, their strength advancing greatly.


    "W-Wind Emperor, Your Majesty!"


    No idea how long passed, finally, there was someone who came back to his senses. And his first reaction was to bow down towards Ye Yuan.


    With one person leading, there were others concurring.


    They all bowed down one after another and actually wanted to let Ye Yuan be their Wind Emperor!


    Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there, overlooking all life. He did not do it deliberately, but he had the demeanor of a king.


    "I won''t become your wind emperor. You all don''t need a wind emperor either! Martial artists believing in others, will never ever become a powerhouse. A martial artist''s faith can only be their own heart: A heart which leans towards the Dao!"


    "Tear down the Central Capital . . . This capital is your Fierce Gale World martial artists'' cage. Break it and you guys will discover another world!"


    "The Fierce Gale World''s living conditions indeed cannot compare to the Endless World''s. However, those raging gale winds are actually a superb venue for cultivation!"


    "As long as one''s heart which leans towards the Dao is firm, one day, you''ll surely be able to shatter the void and ascend to the Divine Realm!"


    Ye Yuan''s faint voice echoed throughout the entire capital''s air, enlightening the benighted.


    Ye Yuan''s statement was an entirely new concept to the Fierce Gale World martial artists.


    No idea since when, they were already used to being ruled by the Wind Emperor.


    The old Wind Emperor died, there naturally needed to be a new Wind Emperor to succeed the throne.


    Zhao Chenggan became a Boundless Realm powerhouse. Even though he did not enjoy popular support, if there weren''t Ye Yuan''s existence, they would still hail him as king and carry on living.


    Ye Yuan killed the Zhao Tianyin, father and son. He was the Fierce Gale World''s strongest person. Therefore, it stood to reason that he should become the next Wind Emperor.


    Today''s battle, Ye Yuan''s character was plain for everybody to see.


    There was no one better than such a person becoming the Wind Emperor.


    But now, Ye Yuan pointed out a brand new road for them.


    In truth, ever since after being ruled by the Wind Emperor, extremely few people in the Fierce Gale World were able to ascend.


    These several thousand years, only Li Daohang this one person appeared. It was still breaking down the barrier and ascending with the power of Alchemy Dao.


    With the Wind Emperor, this massive mountain spanning across in front, what they thought in their hearts were more of submitting themselves to the rule, and not ascension.


    "Alright, that''s all I have. Everyone, take care!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan immediately vanished in front of everybody.


    . . . . . .


    In Qixia Mountain''s great hall, Ye Yuan sat at the highest seat of honor, while Star Abyss brought the group of disciples and sat at the lower seats.


    "Little Junior Brother, you . . ."


    Senior Apprentice Brother Tang Zhi was also used to calling him as his little junior brother and was unable to correct it for a moment too. The moment the words came out of his mouth, he immediately felt that it was not right and hurriedly shut his mouth and did not speak.


    The pressure which the current Ye Yuan gave them was seriously too great.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Senior brothers, don''t need to be so reserved! You guys were Ye Yuan''s senior brothers in the past. In the future, you''ll likewise be my senior brothers! Senior brothers, just address me as your little junior brother, and that will do."


    "Ha, like I said, Little Junior Brother isn''t that kind of person! But you all just wouldn''t listen! Oh, right, Little Junior Brother, that final sword of yours was truly too terrifying! I still have a lingering fear in my heart when recalling it now. That one sword, should have far surpassed true intent, right?"


    Tang Zhi had an alarmed appearance. Clearly, he was really frightened by it.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said smilingly, "Above true intent is supreme true intent! That sword was precisely unleashed with supreme true intent."


    For such a long time, although Ye Yuan had been using the Scorching True Intent and Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm all along, he had not put down his comprehension towards sword intent for even a moment.


    His Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword was already approaching major accomplishment. Therefore, comprehension was increasingly slower.


    Even so, Ye Yuan still comprehended his strongest form to this date after breaking through to the Divine Traversing Realm: Rending the Sky!


    It was just that the time needed to execute this move was too long. Plus, Zhao Tianyin threatened with Ye Hang husband and wife. So he did not have the chance to exhibit this move at all.


    Actually, before Ye Yuan came, he did not think that he would use this move either.


    This was his true final trump card martial technique at present. Unless there were no other alternatives, he absolutely would not use it.


    But nobody could have thought that the current Zhao Chenggan would actually be so powerful.


    Just based on that final spear of his, even if Ye Yuan used the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, it was also impossible to be his match.


    Rather, supreme true intent this term, it was still everyone''s first time hearing it. They could not help inquiring about it from Ye Yuan very curiously.


    Towards this group of senior brothers, Ye Yuan was also on very intimate terms with. He naturally did not hold much back from them either.


    When they understood how hard it was to comprehend supreme true intents, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan become extremely odd.


    Ye Yuan was long used to these sort of eyes. He just smiled faintly and did not mind it.


    When Ye Yuan finished dealing with the group of senior brothers, Star Abyss made them withdraw. There were only two of them left in the great hall.


    Some words were hard to say in front of their faces.


    "Star Abyss, looks like your cultivation recently had results and already broke through to late-stage Alchemy Sovereign," Ye Yuan said with Star Abyss with a smile.


    Star Abyss sweated profusely. He only broke through a minor boundary, but Ye Yuan already crossed several major cultivation realms. He even finished off the Boundless Realm Zhao Chenggan with one sword.


    All of this still made him have a feeling that he was dreaming.

 706 Giving a Plum in Return for a Peach

    In the Central Capital''s royal family, a ghostly black shadow stood in the depths of the dark void.


    Thick sanguine qi pervaded all around him, giving people a kind of extremely bizarre sensation.


    Even though the sanguine power in Zhao Chenggan''s body was thick, compared to this, it paled in comparison.


    Those sanguine qi all flowed out from one small flask after another, converging onto that black shadow''s hand.


    Looking over closely, that black shadow''s hand was actually holding a clear bead. And that bead, because large quantities of sanguine power came together, it gradually became a dark red color.


    After a long while, that bead became a blood bead.


    While those sanguine power inside each one of those small bottles were already absorbed clean!


    Those small bottles were precisely that kind which Ye Yuan saw outside of Crimsonlight City.


    It was just that the small flasks around the dark shadow had a full 10 thousand of them. It could be seen how much sanguine power was stored inside!


    "Je je . . . The Bloodsoul Bead is finally refined successfully! In order to refine this one Bloodsoul Bead, it was really troublesome!" The black shadow looked at the blood-colored bead in his hand and said with a strange laugh.


    "That Zhao Tianyin father and son, truly two fools. To not even able to manage this small matter well! But that brat indeed has some skill. At a young age, he could actually comprehend a supreme true intent to such a boundary. Most likely, it also belongs to the apex in the Divine Realm, right? It''s a shame that those few old fellows are keeping an eye too closely. I could only have a clone come down. Otherwise, I''ll definitely erase that brat first! But with Master''s strength, even if this brat was any more heaven-defying, it''s impossible to be his match either. Just let him live a few more years then. Wait until Master''s grand matter has succeeded, then coming to eliminate this brat wouldn''t be late either!"


    The black shadow clearly knew everything that happened in the Central Capital like the palm of his own hand. It was just that limited to certain circumstances, he was unable to take action, and let Zhao Tianyin father and son take action.


    Except, he never thought that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so formidable. The might of that final sword, even he admired it very much as well.


    That was completely the overwhelming of concepts; it was unrelated to cultivation realm!


    Those able to achieve this could be counted on one''s fingers in the Divine Realm too.


    The most important thing was that Ye Yuan was still an aboriginal. To be able to achieve this point was even more praiseworthy of his amazing skill!


    "Forget it. Bringing the Bloodsoul Bead back to report completion of the task is the urgent matter on hand. That boy''s affairs, just put it aside to think about it in the future."


    Finished talking, that black shadow''s figure moved, merging into the darkness immediately.


    . . . . . .


    Inside Qixia Mountain''s great hall, Star Abyss was sweating profusely.


    "Senior must be joking. If not for Senior''s guidance, Star Abyss''s achievements in this lifetime would probably end here too," Star Abyss said in trepidation.


    When Ye Yuan was staying at Qixia Mountain, he had indeed given Star Abyss pointers a few times.


    Even though the number of times was not many, Star Abyss had gleaned considerable benefits.


    For Star Abyss to be able to reach middle-stage sovereign level under such an environment like the Fierce Gale World, he himself was this world''s pinnacle figure.


    With his comprehension ability plus Ye Yuan''s pointers which came from a strategically advantageous position, breaking through was obviously also something which happened naturally without extra effort.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Your talent isn''t bad. But it still a little inferior compared to Li Daohang''s. But with me around, what difficulty is there in you surpassing Li Daohang in the future?"


    Star Abyss sweated heavily and hurriedly said, "Master he is highly gifted. How can Junior dare have extravagant hopes of surpassing his elderly self?"


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "Bullshit! Highly gifted?! His talent is also just ordinary when placed in the Divine Realm! Only putting a pretense in front of you all. Forget it, don''t talk about him anymore. That day, I promised you to help you refine the Soul Meld Pill. Are the spirit medicines prepared?"


    Star Abyss''s entire body trembled when he heard that and said agitatedly, "The spirit medicines were prepared long ago. When is Senior . . . going to start work to refine the pill?"


    The Soul Meld Pill was a transcendent divine medicine to Star Abyss. Whether or not he could break through to the Alchemy Ancestor Realm would be up to the Soul Meld Pill.


    It was just that if Ye Yuan did not take the initiative to mention it, Star Abyss did not dare to ask either.


    The current Ye Yuan was no longer that brat at his mercy back then. He already grew into a genuine powerhouse.


    Now, Ye Yuan taking the initiate to mention it, Star Abyss was naturally beside himself with excitement.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly when he heard that, "Any time works. Right now then. Just command people to deliver the spirit medicines over will do."


    Star Abyss was stunned, "Uh . . . right here?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En, just right here. You just care about sending the spirit medicines over will do. Don''t need to bother about other things."


    ". . . . . ."


    Star Abyss was helpless and could only order people to deliver the spirit medicines prepared beforehand over.


    Ye Yuan did not avoid either, refining finish the Soul Meld Pill in front of Star Abyss. From start to end, it did not expend much time either.


    The pill refinement finishing, Star Abyss by the side was long enthralled from watching already.


    Back then when Ye Yuan helped the Xiao Family battle in alchemy, what he refined was still only Quasi-Tier 4 medicinal pills.


    It was impressive, but compared to Tier 5 medicinal pills, the difference was like heaven and earth.


    However, Ye Yuan refined a high-level Tier 5 medicinal pill in front of him right now. This was truly a marvelous work of art.


    "This . . . Is this the strength of an Alchemy Emperor?" Star Abyss muttered to himself under his breath.


    But Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Stop guessing on your own. The boundary of Alchemy Emperor is simply not what the current you are able to imagine. The refinement just now was merely just the tip of the iceberg of an Alchemy Emperor''s strength."


    Star Abyss came back to his senses. His face could not help looking embarrassed.


    His boundary from Alchemy Emperor had a difference of quite a few major boundaries. These words of Ye Yuan was already giving consideration of his face.


    The strength of Alchemy Emperor Realm, he had no way of imagining at all.


    But when he saw the Soul Meld Pill that Ye Yuan handed over, he lost composure once again!


    "T-Transcendent grade!" Star Abyss''s hand trembled, and he nearly dropped the medicinal pill on the floor.


    A transcendent-grade Soul Meld Pill was absolutely able to ensure him breaking through to the Alchemy Ancestor Realm!


    This casual refinement of Ye Yuan''s practically guaranteed his advancement to Alchemy Ancestor!


    This kind of strength was simply inconceivable!


    "En. The spirit medicines that you prepared were still comparatively abundant, so I refined another two more. In the future, after you ascend to the Divine Realm, pass those two transcendent-grade Soul Meld Pills to Shi Haoran they all." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Star Abyss was still a bit more cautious when doing things. Even though he knew that Ye Yuan''s strength was unfathomable, refining pills always had the issue of percentage of error.


    Hence, when he got people to prepare, he prepared two more sets of spirit medicines.


    It was just that Star Abyss never expected that Ye Yuan actually cooked it all in one pot directly. Furthermore, he refined out three transcendent-grade Soul Meld Pills.


    "Many thanks to Senior for bestowing the pills!" Star Abyss said with his heart full of gratitude.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "On that day, if not for you guys, master and disciples, protecting my safety, I might have been killed by Zhao Tianyin long ago. Just a few medicinal pills. It isn''t considered much to me. Just take it as repaying you all the grace of caring. Moreover, you''re Li Daohang''s disciple. You''re also considered my progeny disciple."


    Star Abyss nodded his head and already threw himself down at Ye Yuan''s feet in admiration.


    He was an apex-like figure in the Fierce Gale World. But in front of Ye Yuan, he was not even fit to carry his shoes!


    "Now that the Zhao Family father and son are removed, I wonder what plans Senior has in the future?" Star Abyss asked.


    Ye Yuan said, "I''ll stay for a few days in the capital and guide you guys, master and disciples, for training. After a few days, I''ll return to the Endless World and prepare to ascend to the Divine Realm!"

 707 Unexpected Refusal

    "M-My lord, you aren''t joking, right? The Grand Yan True Sect exhausted their entire sect''s power before barely managing to seal the realm passageway!"


    Ning Yixian could not help turning pale with fright when he heard Ye Yuan''s words.


    Half a month ago, Ye Yuan surprisingly came back to the Endless World.


    After that, everyone all knew the Boundless Realm powerhouse in the Fierce Gale World already succumbed under Ye Yuan''s sword.


    For some time, the entire Wu Fang City fell into jubilation!


    These few years, they had lived too stiflingly. Especially after Wu Fang City was breached, they could be said to be living in dire suffering.


    Including Ning Yixian they all, these peerless powerhouses nearly suffered an annihilation level of calamity.


    Even with Ye Yuan overturning the raging tides alone and recapturing the Endless World, that Boundless Realm powerhouse who had never shown his face also brought tremendous psychological pressure on them.


    However, Ye Yuan relied on his Divine Traversing Realm cultivation and cut down that Boundless Realm powerhouse.


    He forcefully destroyed this great mountain with his strength alone!


    How valiant of an achievement was this?!


    Ye Yuan did not give much explanation. What he killed was not just one Boundless Realm powerhouse. There was even a Zhao Chenggan who was even stronger than Zhao Tianyin!


    But this did not hamper the Endless World martial artists'' idolization towards Ye Yuan!


    This sort of thing did not require much propaganda. It spread throughout the entire Endless World very quickly.


    For some time, Ye Yuan''s status in the Endless World was akin to a divinity!


    Ning Yixian and the others, their attitude towards Ye Yuan underwent a transformation once more.


    Ever since Ye Yuan rescued them, they harbored feelings of reverence towards Ye Yuan.


    But now, they admired Ye Yuan from the bottom of their hearts, even worshiped!


    However, Ning Yixian did not expect that after a time interval of half a month, Ye Yuan actually called him over suddenly, saying that he wanted to seal the realm passageway. This gave him a fright.


    Not that he did not trust Ye Yuan''s ability. But the price that the Grand Yan True Sect expended in order to seal the realm passageway was seriously too great!


    If it were him, he was probably also unable to do this sort of sacrificing one''s interests for the sake of others thing.


    The Grand Yan True Sect''s sect master was absolutely a noble king of great talent and bold vision.


    Did Ye Yuan also have to expend such a huge price to seal the realm passageway? Did he require peak Divine Traversing Realm powerhouses to be sacrificed too? These were all things that Ning Yixian was concerned about.


    But Ye Yuan did not pay attention to Ning Yixian''s panic. He nodded his head and said, "You send out a notice to the entire Endless World. All Fierce Gale World martial artists must return to their homeland within a month! Otherwise, they will never ever be able to return! Additionally, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array''s expenditure is massive. These few days, you have to gather sufficient quantities of high-grade essence crystals for me."


    Ye Yuan said these words with a commanding tone. He was naturally aware of Ning Yixian''s concerns, but he would not explain much either.


    Seeing Ye Yuan say it solemnly, Ning Yixian did not dare to ask any question. He acknowledged Ye Yuan''s words and withdrew.


    . . . . . .


    A month later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion and brought a mighty army of experts to the Grand Yan True Sect''s ruins, the Eternal Splendor Palace.


    "You guys make the preparations outside. I''ll be right back."


    Ye Yuan gave a command simply, then headed straight for the Eternal Splendor Palace''s third level.


    This array formation to enter the third level was too profound. Even though the Fierce Gale World occupied this passageway for such a long time, they were unable to crack the method to enter the third level at all.


    A light flashing, Ye Yuan appeared in the Grand Yan Space once more.


    "Old Wei!"


    Seeing Wei Xiao once again, Ye Yuan still gave him a bow.


    This old man guarded the Grand Yan Space bitterly for thousands of years; he was worthy of Ye Yuan respecting him.


    Except, seeing Wei Xiao this time, his body became even more transparent, seemingly about to dissipate gradually already.


    When Wei Xiao saw that someone actually arrived in the Grand Yan Space again, he could not help revealing an amazed look.


    But seeing that familiar face, Wei Xiao''s expression became fascinating.


    "You . . . You actually came to the Grand Yan Space again. Is it possible . . ." Wei Xiao said in surprise.


    Through the exchange with Ye Yuan last time, Wei Xiao knew that this Eternal Splendor Palace was already seized by the Fierce Gale World.


    But Ye Yuan appearing here now, the matter clearly took a turn for the better. It was also no wonder that he was so excited.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile as he said, "Old Wei guessed correctly. The Fierce Gale World has already been driven back by us. Our Endless World has occupied this realm passageway anew."


    "Hahaha, that''s great! Heaven rewards the faithful! We finally still won!"


    Hearing the news Ye Yuan brought, Wei Xiao was in high spirits.


    As he said, tears actually coursed down Wei Xiao''s face. With a thud, he knelt down towards the consecration of the Grand Yan True Sect''s sect master in the hall. "Sect Master, did you hear that? The heaven didn''t fail our Endless World in the end! To think that these youngsters in the later generations actually had such strength, defeating a high-order small world!"


    As he said, Wei Xiao seemed to have discovered something amiss. Turning his head around suddenly, he asked Ye Yuan, "Brat, you aren''t lying to me, right? The Fierce Gale World has a Boundless Realm powerhouse. How can you all possibly win?"


    Ye Yuan smiled as he briefly recounted the events of these two years, leaving Wei Xiao unbelievably shocked.


    "You''re saying that you came to seal the realm passageway?" Wei Xiao exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! The Fierce Gale World is a high-order small world in the end. If I don''t seal the realm passageway, it''s hard to guarantee that another Zhao Tianyin won''t appear in the Fierce Gale World again."


    "But . . . But you''re alone. How can you possibly achieve it?" Wei Xiao clearly still did not quite believe the words Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Rest assured, Old Wei. Ye Yuan has already grasped the Grand Yan True Lord true inheritance fully since coming out from inside the stone books. Just a measly little Six Extreme Seals Grand Array. It still can''t stump Junior."


    Wei Xiao was speechless when he heard "A measly little Six Extreme Seals Grand Array."


    If it was measly little, would they need to sacrifice the entire sect''s strength back then?


    But Ye Yuan''s words still had some trustworthiness. After all, he also used an inconceivable speed to comprehend the Array Formations Three Volumes back then.


    Moreover, although Ye Yuan said it reservedly, he could also discern that the reason why the Endless World was able to repel the Fierce Gale World''s invasion was definitely because Ye Yuan exerted immense effort in it.


    At least, Ye Yuan current strength likely would not be weaker than Sect Master''s back then.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly when he saw Wei Xiao''s appearance of still not daring to believe and said, "Old Wei, I''ve already ordered people to gather some materials and can refine a body for you. Although it''s not able to let you recover to your peak condition, seeing the light of day once more is still achievable. If Old Wei doesn''t believe Ye Yuan''s words, you can very well go out yourself to take a look."


    Wei Xiao''s entire body involuntarily shuddered when he heard these words. His face revealed a look of wild elation.


    He guarded here bitterly for several thousand years and naturally had a deep longing for the outside world.


    Now that he heard that there was actually an opportunity to go out, how could he not be agitated?


    Yet, after the agitation, Wei Xiao calmed down very quickly.


    He looked at Ye Yuan, shook his head, and said, "Boy, I know that you have good intentions. But . . . I still won''t be going out! Now that the Fierce Gale World has retreated and you also want to seal the realm passageway, my mission . . . is also considered completed. Actually, I was already a dead man long ago. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I can also go and meet Sect Master they all wearing a smile!"

 708 Prepare to Transcend Tribulation!

    Rumble!


    Beneath the Eternal Splendor Palace where the realm passageway was, there were six colors of light interweaved together, looking extremely vibrant and gorgeous.


    That very large hole originally expanded by the Fierce Gale World''s array masters was actually gradually healing!


    Very soon, the iridescent rays of light thoroughly plugged up that enormous hole.


    After a time interval of several years, Ye Yuan sealed the realm passageway once more with his own power.


    However, the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array which Ye Yuan laid down anew was even sturdier than the grand array set up by the Grand Yan True Sect sacrificing the entire sect''s power back then!


    The Grand Yan True Sect did not fully comprehend the Array Formations Three Volumes. But Ye Yuan already grasped all of the contents in the stone books fully.


    This Six Extreme Seals Grand Array was exceedingly profound and abstruse to others, but it did not have much difficulty to him.


    Seeing the realm passageway being sealed shut once more, Qi Hai, Ning Yixian, and the rest were all incredibly agitated.


    With this, it was considered severing future troubles forever.


    Qi Hai''s strength was the closest to the Boundless Realm. He was able to sense the staggering energy coming from the grand array. So he was also groveling at Ye Yuan''s feet in admiration too.


    "Ye Yuan, your valiant and heroic deeds are unparalleled in history and never to be surpassed. If not for you, the entire Endless World would probably have to be reduced to a bloody, savage battlefield! I know that I, this Realmlord, am a little unworthy of the title. But I still have to express my thanks to you on behalf of all the martial artists in the Endless World!" Qi Hai said with endless vicissitude of emotions.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Old Hai don''t need to blame yourself. This was originally a war with a mismatch in strength. Furthermore, Zhao Tianyin they all had plotted for a long time. The Endless World being routed was also something within reason. Alright, this matter has concluded. We should return."


    Qi Hai hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Ye Yuan, your combat strength has already far surpassed the limits of the Endless World, and you already have adequate strength to ascend. I wonder . . . when do you plan on ascending?"


    "Uh . . . Wait a while more. I''ve already arranged for White Light to enter seclusion and cultivate hard. I plan on waiting for him to cultivate to peak Tier 5 and ascend to the Divine Realm together with him. It''s just right. I can make use of this period of time to accompany my parents well. I''ve always been drifting around outside these few years and lacked many opportunities to show my filial piety," Ye Yuan said.


    . . . . . .


    Half a year''s time passed in a flash. In this half a year, Ye Yuan rarely cultivated diligently but spent more time on accompanying his parents.


    Ever since he reincarnated, he really did not spend much time to accompany Ye Hang and Ren Hongling. Insteady, he had let them suffer considerable hardships.


    Spending half a year''s time to accompany them was also considered carrying out filial piety for his predecessor.


    In this half a year, the Endless World''s situation also underwent titanic changes.


    A sect called the Tranquil Cloud Sect became the sect with the highest position in the Northern Domain. Its fame even overshadowed the three great sects.


    And this Tranquil Cloud Sect actually did not have many experts. But their sect master was a figure standing at the pinnacle of this small world.


    That person was Ye Yuan!


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect reestablished their sect anew at their former site in the Northern Domain!


    This action fulfilled the long-cherished wish of all the Tranquil Cloud Sect members!


    Except, in this war between two worlds, Luo Qingfeng and all of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s upper echelons died in battle in order to protect the sect''s effective strength.


    Later, only after Ye Yuan quelled the war between two worlds did Tian Yu, Ti Wujiu, these pinnacle geniuses of the sect dare to come out and join Ye Yuan.


    Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that Ye Yuan became the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s new sect master.


    Therefore, this sect which only had one Divine Traversing Realm martial artist became the Endless World''s number one sect!


    Ye Yuan set up a Quasi-Tier 6 grand array for the new Tranquil Cloud Sect. Its power reigned supreme throughout the entire Endless World. Even with Qi Hai''s strength, it was impossible to breach this grand array too.


    This grand array naturally became the capital for the Tranquil Cloud Sect to be established.


    Afterward, Ye Yuan even fully duplicated the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, finally completing the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s ultimate skill.


    Ye Yuan also carved another row of ''sword'' characters on the mountain top. It was just that this time, there were only seven characters. And each word was incomparably profound.


    These seven ''sword'' characters were the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword''s sword intent.


    Ye Yuan left behind the command that if anyone fully comprehended the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art, they could come to this mountain peak to comprehend the seven sword intents!


    Later on, this mountain peak became the holy land which all the Endless World people yearned for!


    Because being able to comprehend one of the sword intent among these seven sword intents, one could sweep across the present age!


    A hundred years later, a brilliant genius appeared in the Tranquil Cloud Sect. He actually comprehended five of the sword intents Ye Yuan left behind and truly made the Tranquil Cloud Sect become the number one powerful sect in the current era. The Tranquil Cloud Sect finally truly became the number one sect in name as well as in reality!


    The latter Tranquil Cloud Sect was even stronger than the Grand Yan True Sect back then!


    And along with the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s rise, the Endless World entered a glorious era anew as well. Countless powerhouses rose up in that era.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan answered all of the questions on the Thousand Query Wall''s seventh level and opened it to the public.


    Wu Fang City also became the Alchemy Path''s number one holy land in name as well as in reality!


    Eight years later, Ye Hang became a peak Alchemy Sovereign powerhouse, and he inherited Ren Xingchun''s mantle, becoming Wu Fang City''s city lord.


    The Tranquil Cloud Sect and Wu Fang City, one south and one north, one alchemy and one martial, cooperated with each other across a great distance.


    . . . . . .


    Half a year later, White Light finally cultivated to peak Tier 5!


    "Heh heh, Big Brother, I''ve kept you waiting!"


    They were about to ascend to the Divine Realm. It was no wonder White Light was very excited.


    "Huhu, you didn''t really kept me waiting. This half a year''s time was a kind of spiritual sublimation to me. Since I rose up in the State of Qin, along the way, my cultivation speed was too fast. Even though I already tried my best to suppress it, there were still quite a lot of hidden dangers. This half a year, no fighting, no cultivation, frequently accompanying by my parents'' side. There wasn''t much different from being an ordinary son. But in this half a year, it had a critically important effect on my cultivation road after today!" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    The best path of cultivation was not advancing leaps and bounds all the way.


    At times, settling down and recuperating for a while could instead let the path to walk hereafter be even more solid.


    This half a year, Ye Yuan had practically given up on cultivation. But his comprehension towards cultivation realms became even more solid and steady instead.


    "Big Brother, what you said is so abstruse. I didn''t understand a word! However, shouldn''t we be ascending?" White Light said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En. You prepare for a bit first. This ascension tribulation isn''t that easy to ascend!"


    Only half a month later did White Light know what what Ye Yuan meant by it was not easy to ascend. He was actually going to bring Ren Dong, Xiao Ruyan, and Lu-er to transcend the tribulation together!


    The three of them all did not have the qualifications to transcend the tribulation. Bringing the three of them along to transcend the tribulation, the heavenly tribulation would be much more powerful compared to ordinary tribulations of ascension!


    The difficulty in this soared by multiple times!


    Adding in White Light, the might of this heavenly tribulation was sufficient to destroy the world!


    "Big Brother, are you joking? This . . . This is a deadly deal!" White Light swallowed his saliva and said.


    Even with his arrogance, he also felt that Ye Yuan''s way of doing things was too presumptuous!Don''t know why the author said Tranquil Cloud Sect and Wu Fang City, one south and one north, when Tranquil Cloud Sect was set up again in their former Northern Domain site.

 709 Sword Qi Surging to the Clouds!

    The tribulation of ascension was an entirely different concept from the heavenly tribulation of breaking through cultivation realms!


    In terms of power, the power of ascension tribulation was a level higher!


    Qi Hai kept on not daring to take this step was because he did not dare to face the tribulation of ascension.


    Since time immemorial, there were numerous similar cases of martial artists falling in the ascension tribulations.


    Of course, with Ye Yuan''s strength, transcending this tribulation of ascension was not something hard.


    But if he brought three people along, then it was completely different!


    Once the three of them were at the center where Ye Yuan was transcending the tribulation, the heavenly tribulation would think that these people had the intention of ascending to the Divine Realm!


    At that time, the might of the heavenly tribulation would be over a dozen times more powerful than under normal circumstances!


    This degree of heavenly tribulation, even with White Light''s strength, just thinking about it made his scalp somewhat tingle too.


    "Huhu, there is naturally me to withstand the heavenly tribulation. You just need to take care of yourself!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    White Light was speechless for a while when he heard that. But since Ye Yuan insisted on it, he would also go along even if he had to offer up his life!


    The friendship between White Light and Ye Yuan had long surpassed life and death already.


    "Young Master, why not . . . I don''t transcend the tribulation? Just let Lu-er cultivate in the Endless World. I believe that before long, I''ll be able to ascend too!" Lu-er was rather worried and also quite unwilling to part as she said.


    To make her and Ye Yuan separate, she was naturally full of unwillingness.


    But her existence greatly increased Ye Yuan''s danger.


    Lu-er''s thinking was very simple. It was fine if she died under the heavenly tribulation. But if it implicated Ye Yuan because of this, then she would not forgive herself even if she died.


    Furthermore, Lu-er was not boasting. She only used half a year, and she already broke through to the Sea Transformation Realm.


    Ever since after she could cultivate, Lu-er''s cultivation speed could be described using terrifying. Even Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed paled in comparison to her too.


    At the rate of her cultivation speed, it did not need more than a few year''s time to reach peak Divine Traversing Realm either.


    "Yeah, Master. How about . . . you ascend by yourself first," Xiao Ruyan also urged.


    Ren Dong wanted to speak too, but Ye Yuan pulled a long face and said, "Following your opinions or listening to mine? You guys just have to follow me. When the time comes, I naturally have ways to transcend the heavenly tribulation!"


    The moment Ye Yuan flared up, the three people all did not dare to make a sound.


    Actually, they were all worried for Ye Yuan. To really make them leave Ye Yuan, they could not bear to part in their hearts either.


    The five people''s deliberation was settled. It was naturally up to Ye Yuan''s call.


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s location to transcend the tribulation was ultimately chosen at an enormous basin ten thousand miles away from the new Tranquil Cloud Sect.


    On this day, countless Endless World martial artists gathered around the basin. They were all here to attend the event.


    Transcending tribulation and ascending. This was a scene hard to come across in a thousand years in the Endless World.


    Many martial artists might not be able to see such a spectacle once in their entire lives.


    How could they miss such a grand occasion?


    Of course, the ones who were concerned with transcending the tribulation were those late-stage Divine Traversing Realm martial artists.


    There were still some people among them with hopes of transcending their tribulation in the future. Coming forward to observe the rites, they could watch the might of the heavenly tribulation at close quarters.


    At least, they would also have a benchmark in their hearts.


    Hence, Ye Yuan transcending the tribulation this time virtually attracted all the powerhouses in the Endless World over!


    The transcending of tribulation had yet to begin, and the surroundings were already densely packed with countless martial artists.


    Ye Yuan knew the other martial artists'' reverence and desire toward heavenly tribulation. He was not someone unreasonable and did not curb such a situation.


    "Father, Mother, Yuan-er''s tribulation crossing is near at hand. After today, we''ll be separated by two worlds. Meeting again would hardly be easy. These medicinal pills are prepared for Younger Sister by me. Mother, take one every day during the last three months before giving birth. Not only can it ensure Young Sister to be safe and sound, but it''s also highly beneficial to her future cultivation," said Ye Yuan who passed a bottle of medicinal pills to Ye Hang''s hand.


    Ye Hang and Ren Hongling were at the prime of their lives. In the past, because they needed to take care of Ye Yuan whole-heartedly, so they did not have time to spare for other things.


    Some time ago, under Ye Yuan''s egging on, Ren Hongling finally became pregnant. Like this, his parents would also have someone to keep them company after Ye Yuan ascended.


    Ye Yuan had long felt Ren Hongling''s pulse before. This pregnancy was a girl. That was why Ye Yuan addressed the yet to be born baby as his younger sister.


    Ye Hang received the medicinal pills but still said worriedly, "Yuan-er, you bringing Lu-er they all to transcend the tribulation will be very dangerous. How about you reconsider a bit?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Rest assured, Father. Yuan-er knows what to do!"


    Ye Hang bemoaned when he heard that, "You''re already an unrivaled powerhouse now. Father naturally won''t control you strictly. It''s just that after you ascend to the Divine Realm, you still have to be more careful in all matters. Presumably, that Divine Realm''s powerhouses are as many as clouds. Some things shouldn''t be done without qualms and as you wish."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Many thanks for Father''s reminder. Yuan-er is going!"


    Ye Hang''s heart could not help quivering when he heard that. His eyes were already wet since who knows when.


    Recalling the encounters these few years, Ye Hang still somewhat felt like he was dreaming.


    But this remarkable youth before his eyes was undoubtedly his son!


    His son was the entire Endless World''s legend!


    . . . . . .


    Ye Yuan''s group of people floated down, arriving at the center of the basin.


    "Ruyan, Little Dong, Lu-er, in a while, the three of you have to stand within the 30 feet around me. Make sure not to move by yourself. Do you understand?" Ye Yuan instructed solemnly.


    The three people nodded their heads when they heard that, "Yes!"


    Ye Yuan turned to White Light again and said smilingly, "White Light, scared?"


    White Light was already done with preparations long ago. Hearing Ye Yuan asking, he immediately said, "Scared my *ss! If the heaven wants to exterminate me, then I''ll destroy the heaven! Just a lousy heavenly tribulation. I don''t believe that I, this divine beast progeny, can''t even pass through this hurdle!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Good! Today, us brothers will stir up this heaven!"


    Finished talking, a streak of sword qi rose from ground level, and surged straight to the clouds!


    Even if those martial artists were hundreds of thousands of feet away, they still felt that the sword qi was oppressive!


    Rumble!


    The heaven seemed to feel that it was being provoked. In an instant, the winds changed, and dark clouds covered the skies above the basic densely.


    "I . . . I''m almost suffocating! Is this really the ascension heavenly tribulation? Why do I feel like it''s going to be the apocalypse?"


    "This heavenly tribulation practically formed instantly. Even though it hasn''t descended yet, it''s absolutely powerful until it makes people feel smothered!"


    "Too scary! Such a level of heavenly tribulation, even half-step Boundless Realms would face certain death too, right? Lord Ye Yuan. . . How on earth is he going to transcend the tribulation?"


    The powerful pressure in the sky made these martial artists have a feeling of an apocalyptic calamity.


    They had never seen before that heavenly tribulations could actually be daunting to such an extent!


    Crack!


    An incomparably thick white lightning descended without any signs, giving everybody a fright!


    This heavenly tribulation was too abnormal. It did not give Ye Yuan they all any time to prepare at all!


    Yet, right at this time, Ye Yuan''s sword finger pointed out. A streak of sword qi even more powerful than before opposed the momentum and surged up, colliding together with the heavenly tribulation directly!


    Heavenly tribulation, annihilated!


    This finger of Ye Yuan''s was as if dripping a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil; exploding all at once!


    Over a dozen bolts of lightning fell down savagely and unreasonably, without giving people the slightest opportunity to catch their breaths at all!


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he raised his head to the sky and howled, "Came right on time!"


    For a moment, sword qi crisscrossed, slicing the entire space into pieces of shards!


    Those dozen over bolts of lightning, not a single one was actually able to pass through Ye Yuan''s sword qi!


    Those martial artists watching the rites were all besotted from watching already.


    Such a deeply shocking scene, it would probably be hard for them to see it again in this lifetime!


    That level of lightning, forget about a dozen over bolts, even if one bolt came down, it was also plenty enough to instantly kill everyone present.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, they appeared so small and weak!


    Another few dozen bolts of lightning rained down at the same time. However, Ye Yuan''s sword qi became even wilder!


    "Hahaha! Big Brother, you''re really too strong! Awesome!" White Light burst into laughter when he saw this scene.


    Also, no idea how long had passed and uncertain how many heavenly tribulations had rained down too. The tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to have finally been worn out.


    Because it discovered that no matter what, it could not break through Ye Yuan''s sword qi.


    Finally, the heavenly tribulation gradually dispersed.


    Right then, a pale-yellow light pillar descended from the sky, directly enveloping Ye Yuan''s group of five inside.


    After that, they saw Ye Yuan''s group of five slowly rise up, enter straight into the clouds, and gradually vanished from sight!


    "Take care, Yuan-er!"


    Seeing this scene, Ye Hang and Ren Hongling shouted with tears covering their faces.

 710 Merely a First Level Boundless Realm

    The vast Divine Realm, boundless and limitless.


    Even if one was a Divine King boundary powerhouse, they were unable to glean a complete picture of the Divine Realm too.


    The composition of space here was exceedingly stable, and essence energy was exceptionally abundant. It was a paradise for martial artists to cultivate!


    The Divine Realm''s territory was exceedingly vast. Just the regions that humans lived in was divided up to a thousand regions of all sizes.


    And among them, the boundary of the smallest territory was also larger than 100 thousand Endless Worlds!


    Therefore, in the Divine Realm, the vast majority of martial artists could only stay in one region for all their lives.


    The Divine Realm was too huge. Hence, all sorts of forces were also messy and convoluted.


    But in the Divine Realm, there were universally acknowledged Eight Great Super Holy Lands!


    The areas which the Eight Great Super Holy Lands had jurisdiction over spanned across several major regions.


    And those with the qualifications to become a super holy land, at the minimum, needed to possess over ten Divine King Realm powerhouses as well!


    Divine King Realm was not a cultivation realm, but it was a form of address.


    After the Boundless Realm, the Upper Three Realms were namely, Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Phaseless Realm, and Dao Profound Realm.


    The so-called Divine King Realm was referring to Ninth Level Dao Profound Realm powerhouses in particular!


    Only by reaching such a boundary, could one truly become a pinnacle existence in the Divine Realm!


    And martial artists who reached the Dao Profound Realm had the qualifications to establish a holy land in the Divine Realm, lording over a region.


    Except, the Divine Realm''s territory was overly vast. Even the Eight Great Super Holy Lands could not possibly extend their hands to every corner of the Divine Realm too.


    The Eight Great Holy Lands pretty much occupied close to half of the Divine Realm''s territory. There was still the other half of the territory which had various forces all mixed up intricately, with tangled fighting ceaselessly.


    Between holy land and holy land, between forces and forces, wars would frequently erupt too.


    At this time, in Ancient Opulence City, subordinate to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land in the White Valiant Region, two middle-aged men in neat suits of armor were currently conversing.


    "Heh, today is really strange. The ascension pool normally doesn''t have much activities in a month. Today, there are actually three batches ascending all at once."


    "Isn''t it good that there are many? Us brothers taking on this hard and unprofitable job, guarding this ascension pool daily, we don''t get any bit of benefits throughout the year. If there aren''t a few ascenders, us brothers will have to live on air."


    "Haha, what big brother said is right. Many are good, many are good! It''s just that these bunch who just ascended are all a bunch of paupers, They don''t have any good stuff on them at all."


    "Sigh, no matter how small a mosquito is, it''s meat too. Better than not having. Us brothers will only have this bit of accomplishments in our lives by relying on that bit of salary."


    In front of them was a pool one hundred feet in circumference.


    Beside the pool was a platform. Over there stood an elderly man and a young one, two people.


    The two people''s expressions were both not very good. Clearly, they were already fleeced and extorted by those two middle-aged soldier-looking people.


    Right then, the light inside the ascension pool gradually became bright.


    Not long after, the light faded away. Two figures appeared in front of everybody.


    "Haha, this place is the Divine Realm? Indeed impressive! The essence energy here is too rich! Me cultivating here, the speed is at least five times of the Endless World''s!" the moment a dignified and strong-looking youth appeared, he said those words with an excited look.


    This dignified and strong-looking youth was naturally White Light who ascended from the Endless World.


    And the other person was naturally Ye Yuan.


    White Light''s figure had just steadied himself, and he already felt that the rich essence energy was practically going to drill into his body. Virtually every pore on his body opened up.


    This sort of sensation made him indescribable comfortable.


    "Yii? Big Brother?"


    White Light looked all around in a moment of delight. Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, he could not resist turning his head around.


    With this look, White Light could not help jumping in fright.


    Ye Yuan already exited the ascension pool since goodness knows when and started meditating at one side.


    Those two middle-aged people exchanged a glance. They were rather shocked in their hearts.


    Looking at this, this youth who just ascended was actually going to break through on the spot?


    "Heh, this boy, quite interesting! Cheng Jiang, us brothers have already guarded the ascension pool for quite a number of years already, right? This is still the first time seeing a Lower Realms martial artist who just ascended actually breakthrough cultivation realms directly!" said the soldier whose age was slightly older.


    "Yeah, this is really a rare event! This boy is just First Level Divine Traversing. He probably ascended from some low-order small world, right? But breaking through right after ascending, what''s the deal?" Cheng Jiang had a baffled expression on his face.


    Actually, they could not be blamed for being astonished either. It was truly that Ye Yuan was overly freakish.


    Other martial artists ascending to the Divine Realm, they had basically all just broken through a major bottleneck. It was impossible to choose to break through right after arriving at the Divine Realm.


    But Ye Yuan was different from others. His cultivation realm had not reached the limits of the Endless World at all. It was still a long way off.


    Ye Yuan ascending was him taking the initiative to release energy exceeding the Endless World''s limits, triggering the heavenly tribulation from there.


    Speaking of which, this sort of method, only a freak like Ye Yuan dared to do so.


    Other people doing this was no different from courting death.


    Having the ability to trigger the heavenly tribulation, one had to have the ability to transcend the heavenly tribulation too!


    In this recent half a year''s time, Ye Yuan did not take the initiative to go and cultivate. But his heart realm rose a lot unknowingly. His cultivation realm also arrived at peak First Level Divine Traversing unconsciously.


    Breaking through at this time now was being impacted by the Divine Realm''s thick essence energy; it was akin to water spilling over by itself when it was full.


    The breakthrough process did not persist for a long time. The Divine Realm''s abundant essence energy let him clear the Second Level Divine Traversing''s bottleneck very quickly.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. Only then did he size up the Divine Realm anew.


    At this present moment, Ye Yuan was also rather agitated in his heart.


    After reincarnated, Ye Yuan went from a measly little Essence Qi Realm, cultivating all the way till he ascended to the Divine Realm. He experienced countless hardships and dangers through this.


    Different from the previous life''s ease and comfort, his path of rising up in this life was filled with slaughter and upheaval.


    There were even quite a few times where he fell into a desperate situation, but he made it through all of them.


    Now that he ascended to the Divine Realm, his path of vengeance had also been taking step by step very solidly!


    This familiar essence energy undulation, this familiar composition of space, it was still that Divine Realm.


    It was just that Ye Yuan arriving at the Divine Realm again now, his mental state was greatly different.


    "Boy, stop looking! Treating us brothers as air?" Cheng Jiang saw that Ye Yuan finished breaking though, but said crossly.


    Ye Yuan''s thoughts were interrupted by Cheng Jiang, but he said with a smile, "I wonder what advice this Brother has?"


    "Brother? Heh heh, boy, you have to call Your Excellency! A boy who just ascended. Really unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth!" Cheng Jiang said with a cold sneer.


    "Your Excellency? Your esteemed self is merely a First Level Boundless Realm martial artist. Can you live up to ''Your Excellency'' these two words?" Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said.


    "Merely a First Level Boundless Realm? Hehe, what high-sounding sentiments! Punks who ascended up are indeed more ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth one after another! You go and ask those two over there whether they are willing to obediently call me Your Excellency or not!" Cheng Jiang seemed to have long gotten used to Ye Yuan''s conduct, saying with a cold smile.


    The moment that one elderly, one youth, two people heard these words, their expressions because ugly.


    They were already lectured prior to this. Moreover, the treasures on their body also had quite a bit plundered away.


    Hearing Cheng Jiang asked him, the youth had no choice but to nod his head. He said, "This Brother, better put away the wild arrogance from the Lower Realms! This place . . . it isn''t appropriate!"

 711 Counter-suppression

    "Hear that or not? I know that you guys are all first-rate geniuses in the Lower Realms with your own pride. However . . ."


    Cheng Jiang deliberately dragged it out and said with a solemn face, "Your pride isn''t worth a penny in the Divine Realm!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Cheng Jiang and could not help laughing as he said, "Perhaps I really don''t have the capital to be arrogant in front of a genuine expert. But in front of you . . ."


    Ye Yuan did not finish talking, But the meaning of his words was already very clear.


    He, Ye Yuan, was proud!


    As proud as when he was in the Lower Realms!


    When Cheng Jiang heard Ye Yuan''s words but did not show an enraged expression.


    Their objective of being here was in order to make those ascenders be obedient, let them know that after ascending, they had to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.


    Otherwise, if these ascenders were all arrogant to the extreme, how would they manage?


    Ye Yuan''s behavior was also within Cheng Jiang''s expectations. Or should he say, every ascender''s attitude was about the same as Ye Yuan''s.


    Those two previously were like that too. Now, weren''t they still docile and obedient?


    "Hah, is that so? Then . . . I''ll have to take a look at your pride!"


    Cheng Jiang''s voice had yet to fade when a surge of powerful essence energy instantly crashed over towards Ye Yuan, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    The elder and youth other there could not quite bear to look steadily at it.


    They knelt down to this move of Cheng Jiang''s earlier and did not even have strength leftover to retaliate.


    What was exasperating was that the two of them were both Boundless Realm experts!


    First Level Boundless Realm versus First Level Boundless Realm and they actually did not even have strength leftover to counterattack.


    They only struggled a little before conceding dejectedly. That scene earlier even made them somewhat doubtful about life.


    Could it be that these years of cultivation were all cultivated into a dog''s stomach? Or were the Divine Realm''s martial artists all powerful to this sort of degree?


    They ended up like this even though they were Boundless Realm. Wouldn''t Ye Yuan, a freshly broken through Second Level Divine Traversing brat, be crushed until half-dead?


    "Hey, Old Huang, you look! It looks odd!" that youth suddenly said to the elderly man.


    Old Huang looked over at Ye Yuan there, his expression involuntarily changed.


    "He . . . Why is he totally fine? This . . . This isn''t right!" Old Huang said in amazement.


    Over there, Ye Yuan was being pressured by Cheng Jiang''s aura, but he was perfectly calm and collected. It was as if Cheng Jiang did not do anything at all.


    Yet, the violent essence energy undulation around Ye Yuan clearly told everyone that Cheng Jiang was really putting pressure on Ye Yuan.


    "Huhu, essence energy suppression is it? This is your opening gambit? Doesn''t look like much to me," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Cheng Jiang''s expression was ugly as he said, "You . . . How is this possible?! You, an ascender, moreover, only Second Level Divine Traversing, are actually able to withstand my essence energy suppression! I don''t believe it!"


    Cheng Jiang clearly could not accept this truth. Hence, he mustered up all the essence energy in his body.


    The coercion of a Boundless Realm crushed over towards Ye Yuan overwhelmingly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Thickheaded!"


    The next instant, Ye Yuan''s aura was fully released!


    The violent essence energy abruptly burst out, forcing back Cheng Jiang''s suppression immediately!


    Cheng Jiang did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had strength leftover to counterattack. Caught off-guard all at once, he was forced back by Ye Yuan until his bottom plopped onto the ground directly.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart incessantly.


    Cheng Jiang''s methods, he was all too clear. Merely taking advantage of his cultivation time in the Divine Realm being long.


    To really talk about comprehension towards cultivation realm, he might not even be stronger than an ascender.


    The so-called essence energy suppression was actually because the Divine Realm''s essence energy was not only thicker compared to the Lower Realms, it was purer compared to the Lower Realms'' essence energy too.


    Therefore, the martial artists cultivating in the Divine Realm, the essence energy within their bodies were many times purer compared to Lower Realms'' martial artists!


    Similarly, First Level Boundless Realm, the essence energy within Cheng Jiang''s body was much purer than Old Huang''s!


    But how could Cheng Jiang have thought that what Ye Yuan cultivated was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art that caused a stir in the entire Divine Realm!


    Even if Ye Yuan was cultivating in the Lower Realms, the essence energy he absorbed into his body was also refined and extracted through the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    Compared to Cheng Jiang, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was God knows how many times purer!


    Therefore, him wanting to use essence energy to suppress and deal with Ye Yuan was simply a joke.


    Ye Yuan arriving at the Divine Realm, although he was unable to jump realms and battle by a large margin like in the Lower Realms, dealing with a bottom-level soldier like Cheng Jiang was still achievable.


    "No way, right? This . . . This brat is so strong!" on the platform, Old Huang exclaimed in shock.


    Even though the youth did not speak, the expression on his face was exactly the same as Old Huang''s.


    When Cheng Jiang''s big brother saw this scene, his face could not help revealing a look of astonishment.


    These few years, Cheng Jiang had never dropped the ball before when taking action to deal with the lower realms'' ascenders.


    Didn''t expect that today, he failed miserably in a very simple task.


    "Boy, you''re courting death!"


    Cheng Jiang did not expect to actually have his face swept away by an ascender. He flew into a violent rage all at once and was about to step forward and make a move.


    But he had yet to move and was stopped by Big Brother.


    "Cheng Jiang, don''t be rash!"


    As he said, he came in front of Ye Yuan and bowed with his hands folded in front as he said, "Little Brother has such pure essence energy. This one is Yu Ming. I wonder what''s Little Brother''s name?"


    Ye Yuan was not some impetuous person who just ascended. He knew the Divine Realm''s matters like the palm of his own hand.


    These two people were merely soldiers here to guard the ascension pool. They still had a powerful force behind them and could not be offended at all.


    In the end, Ye Yuan was only an ascender now as well. His strength was too weak!


    Earlier, making a move to deal with Cheng Jiang was also just taking him down a notch, and make them not casually knead him.


    Since this Yu Ming had the intentions of getting friendly now, Ye Yuan was naturally happy to oblige.


    "You flatter me. This one is Ye Yuan."


    "So, it''s Little Brother Ye. This brother of mine is too reckless when doing things. Just now, he offended you. But restraining ascenders is also where our brothers'' duties lie. Little Brother Ye, please don''t take offense."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Big Brother Yu is overly sensitive. This small matter, this Ye will not go to the extent of taking it to heart."


    Yu Ming originally thought that since Ye Yuan was young and his strength was formidable too, he probably would not be too easygoing. Didn''t expect that he was so astute.


    Except, because of this, Yu Ming regarded Ye Yuan even more higher.


    This boy was bound to be a major figure in the future.


    At least, he would be an existence that them brothers needed to look up to.


    Such a person, one either had to exterminate him immediately now or get on friendly terms in advance. At least, one could not offend too much.


    "Haha, then that''s good, then that''s good! Little Brother Ye''s essence energy is so pure. It''s really not like a newly ascended martial artist!" Yu Ming said with a laugh.


    "Big Brother Yu is too kind. It''s just that the cultivation method that this Ye cultivates in is a little special. To really come to blows, I probably won''t be Big Brother Yu''s match." Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    This Yu Ming''s shrewdness was very deep, wanting to test Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan yielded cleverly, lightly skating over this topic.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan only said that he was not Yu Ming''s match. But he did not say that he was not Cheng Jiang''s match.


    Yu Ming was slightly apprehensive in his heart and also put away the thought of probing. With a big laugh, he said, "Little Brother Ye is too modest!"

 712 Merit Points

    In comparison to the Lower Realms, the Divine Realm''s space was more stable. The Heavenly Dao it contained was also more stacked and comprehensive.


    Martial artists comprehending Heavenly Dao and concepts were a little easier relative to doing so in the Lower Realms.


    Plus, the essence energy thickness was exceedingly high. Therefore, martial artists'' overall strength was more than a level stronger than the Lower Realms.


    Especially to martial artists who had just ascended, the Divine Realm''s martial artists at the same rank would basically crush them.


    But this sort of disparity would slowly become small along with the passing of time.


    So much so that the Lower Realms'' ascenders had even greater potential compared to the Divine Realm''s native martial artists.


    To be able to achieve the conditions for ascension under the Lower Realms'' limitation, their talent in itself was absolutely a heaven defying-like existence.


    After they arrived at the Divine Realm, once they get accustomed to it, regardless whether it was cultivation realm or concepts, a blowout-style eruption would occur.


    It was just that, this sort of situation was in the minority. This is because after they arrived at the Divine Realm, they would not have the qualifications to go and cultivate at all.


    To the vast majority of ascenders, the reality that they had to consider was still survival!


    "Little Brother Ye''s talent surpasses others. However . . . since you''re an ascender, what should be said, Big Brother Yu still have to make it clear for you." Yu Ming said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Big Brother Yu just go ahead and say."


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that whichever force the lower realm belonged to, they would have to serve that force after ascending.


    "The two of us brothers are serving Ancient Opulence City. Ancient Opulence City belongs to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. According to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s rules, ascenders must serve the holy land for 50 years after ascending up from the lower realms. Or save up sufficient merit points and you can obtain freedom. Since Little Brother Ye ascended to my Ancient Opulence City, you''ll naturally have to serve my Ancient Opulence City. Of course, if Little Brother Ye''s performance in Ancient Opulence City is outstanding and strike the holy land''s fancy, it will be another opportunity. At that time, even Elder Brother, I, will have to look to Little Brother for support!"


    When Yu Ming was talking, he observed Ye Yuan''s expression from time to time.


    According to his thinking, with Ye Yuan''s pride, he would definitely blow his top when he heard this news.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan''s face only revealed a ruminating expression, and he did not seem to be surprised about this situation.


    Ye Yuan finished listening and said to Yu Ming with clasped hands, "It''s Little Brother''s first day here. In the future, I still need Big Brother Yu to give more help."


    Yu Ming hurriedly said that he dare not. "Big Brother, I, have also stayed for a few years in this Ancient Opulence City. Even though I''m not considered very formidable, I still have some connections in the city. If there are areas where I can come in handy for Little Brother Ye, feel free to open your mouth."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Then I''ll have to trouble Big Brother Yu."


    . . . . . .


    Yu Ming led Ye Yuan''s group of four to a vast great hall in the city. A manager-looking elder received them.


    "Steward Lu, these few have just ascended. We''ll have to trouble you to arrange identity tokens for them," Yu Ming said.


    Steward Lu swept a glance over Ye Yuan and co. A hint of disdain was revealed in his eyes. But he looked at Yu Ming again and said, "Heh, four ascenders came at once. You, this boy, must have hauled considerable good stuff again this time, right?"


    But Yu Ming was not embarrassed. Pulling Steward Lu to one side, he secretly shoved him something.


    "How can I forget Steward Lu when there''s good stuff? Hehe, this thing, you keep well," Yu Ming said smilingly.


    That Steward Lu had sharp-eyes. With one look, he discerned the good and bad of the stuff, and he was fully satisfied with this matter. Patting Yu Ming''s shoulder, he said, "It''s still you, this boy, who are sensible! If there are any good errands in the future, I won''t forget about you."


    But Yu Ming smiled and said, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll have to thank Steward Lu very much."


    The two people exchanged glances and smiled. Everything was conveyed without words.


    This sort of thing like presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers, Yu Ming was never stingy.


    Steward Lu had close relations with City Lord Manor, and his authority was exceptionally great. Yu Ming naturally had to build good relations with him.


    Each time he sent ascenders here to collect identity tokens, he would always gift some small things to Steward Lu. Otherwise, the job of guarding the ascension pool also would not fall onto their heads.


    Don''t look at Cheng Jiang grumbling back then. This job of guarding the ascension pool was really a cushy job. It was just a little dreary.


    Not only were they able to extort ascenders a little, they even did not have risks to their lives, and also had large amounts of time to cultivate.


    Such a job was not what everyone could get.


    Steward Lu returned, directly throwing four identity tokens to Ye Yuan''s group of four and said rather impatiently, "Take the tokens and drip blood to let it acknowledge a master. This token, you guys safeguard it yourselves. If you lose it, it will be equivalent to losing your little lives. Take the tokens. You guys can go to the north of the city yourselves and report. There will be people arranging for you guys to mine ores."


    Talking until here, Steward Lu immediately shut his mouth and did not speak, as if finding it tiring to even say a word more.


    But that Old Huang could not take it lying down when he heard. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Mine ores? Are you kidding?"


    Steward Lu was the same as Yu Ming they all and was long used to this sort of attitude from the ascenders. He just said coolly, "I''m doing this for your own good. It''s fine if you don''t go too. Don''t blame me for not warning you, as long as the merit points inside your identity token persist in the state of ''zero'' for ten days, there will naturally be people coming to erase you! My Ancient Opulence City doesn''t rear idle people."


    Old Huang''s expression changed when he heard that. Clearly, he did not think that there was still such a thing.


    He was a first-rate powerhouse in the Lower Realms, revered by all.


    But arriving at the Divine Realm, he actually needed to do mining for ores, this sort of thing!


    Old Huang thought it over and over again and was also unable to accept it.


    Except, he also knew that he could not even beat two soldiers, let alone others.


    Not mining for ores, there was only the path of awaiting death.


    Steward Lu sneered coldly when he saw Old Huang''s expression and said, "Good that you can weigh the consequences! Don''t think of escaping. You''ll wish you were dead. If you don''t believe, you can very well give it a try."


    "May I ask Steward Lu, how many merit points are we able to obtain by going to dig a day''s ores? And how many merit points do we need if we wish to obtain freedom?" The youth who was silent the entire time suddenly opened his mouth to ask.


    Along the way, Old Huang and the youth also chatted a couple of sentences with Ye Yuan. Everyone was already familiar with each other.


    This youth''s name was Su Cheng, age merely 50. Old Huang''s full name was Huang Tao but was already 200 years old.


    To be able to cultivate to the Boundless Realm using 50 years in the Lower Realms, this Su Cheng was also absolutely a gifted talent.


    It was just that such a genius still could not escape the fate of mining ores.


    Steward Lu shot Su Cheng a ruminating glance and said with a smile, "According to your productivity when mining ores, it varies from one to five merit points every day. To want to obtain freedom, the merit points required is . . . 100 thousand!"


    Su Cheng and Huang Tao could not help drawing a cold breath when they heard that.


    Digging a day''s ores could only obtain five merit points at most!


    Even if they calculated according to five merit points, for them to want to save up 100 thousand merit points, 50 years was not enough at all!


    It could not be to the extent where they had to dig 50 years of ores, right?


    Su Cheng had an impulse to cleave Steward Lu in half. He only used 50 over year''s time to cultivate to ascension in the Lower Realms.


    The moment he arrived at the Divine Realm, he had to dig 50 years of ores immediately. Who did he provoke?


    But he could not fathom this Steward Lu''s cultivation at all. At least, he could confirm that the other party was way more powerful than him.


    If he made a move, it was equivalent to seeking death.

 713 Ye Yuans Points Swiping Plan!

    There weren''t so many principles to be said under the heaven.


    The martial artist world was cruel to begin with. This point was not abated in the Divine Realm but strengthened.


    The lower realms'' martial artists did not belong to any force at all, and their strengths were comparatively on the weaker-side too. They were naturally easy targets to be exploited.


    To ascenders who did not know the inside story, they were filled with yearning towards the Divine Realm, thinking that this place was a beautiful world, a martial artist''s paradise.


    But only after they ascended did they discover that this was completely not the case.


    Even the Divine Realm''s native martial artists were also exploited by high-level martial artists.


    To want to carve out a road, how could it be easy?


    Martial artists able to cultivate to the peak in the Divine Realm needed greater willpower and even more outstanding talent.


    Otherwise, they could only fade into the crowd.


    "This . . . Could it be that apart from mining ores, there aren''t other ways of obtaining merit points?" Huang Tao could not refrain from asking.


    "Heh, there are, of course, there are. But do you think that you have the ability to get it?" Steward Lu said with a contemptuous look.


    On this day today, Huang Tao was already beaten down countless times. But he still could not resist asking, "Steward Lu, pray tell!"


    Steward Lu waved his hand and said, "Little Yu, these things, you tell them. This old man introduces these things all day long. So bothersome to death!"


    Yu Ming acknowledged and said to Huang Tao, "Your statuses now are just the Ancient Opulence City''s temporary residents. Only after you guys saved up a thousand merit points, will you have the qualifications to become the Ancient Opulence City''s official residents. At that time, you all can get to be like us: becoming Ancient Opulence City''s guards. Of course, you guys can still find other occupations. These occupations all have merit points as remuneration. They are naturally much better off than mining ores. If you guys wish to obtain merit points right now, then you can only take on missions. But I''m telling you, the mortality rate of missions is extremely high. Even we don''t dare to easily take on missions. If it''s you guys . . ."


    The meaning of his words was that you all were too weak!


    "Heh heh, Little Yu, why are you speaking so implicitly? Martial artists like you guys who just ascended, I''ve never seen those who take on missions come back before!" Steward Lu added a sentence by the side untimely.


    When everyone heard, their hearts tightened.


    Wasn''t this mortality rate a little too high?


    Huang Tao''s temper deflated with this. Missions with 100% mortality, did he dare to receive?


    Better mine ores obediently!


    "Steward Lu, I wonder if there are missions that alchemists can take on?" the Ye Yuan who did not speak all along suddenly opened his mouth to ask.


    Towards the Ancient Opulence City''s way of management, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    For a force to want to develop, they inevitably had to exploit the interests of the bottom-level martial artists, letting the strong become stronger from there!


    But Ye Yuan also knew that statuses of alchemists in the Divine Realm were generally all very high. Since that was the case, why doesn''t he appear with an alchemist''s identity?


    Steward Lu gave Ye Yuan a look rather surprisedly and said, "You''re an alchemist?"


    "That''s right!"


    Steward Lu shook his head slightly and said, "It''s no use! You''re only Divine Traversing Realm and can''t refine Tier 6 medicinal pills too. Missions under Tier 6 all don''t have merit points!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No worries. Even if I can''t refine out Tier 6 medicinal pills, I still have the ability to save people. Can I trouble Steward Lu to help me check a bit? This humble gift, just take it as an introductory gift that I''m giving Steward Lu."


    Ye Yuan casually took out a Tier 6 spirit medicine, passing it in front of Steward Lu.


    Steward Lu received the spirit medicine and said in surprise, "Even though Tier 6 spirit medicines aren''t considered much in the Divine Realm, they are rare stuff in the Lower Realms!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Junior also ran into one stalk by chance. Thinking that I can''t use it on myself for the time being either, might as well gift it to Senior as a favor."


    This spirit medicine was not an Endless World''s item but extorted by Ye Yuan in the God Prohibited Demon Region.


    Actually, he still had many spirit medicines on hand. But he obviously could not take them out. The logic of an innocent man getting into trouble because of his wealth, he still understood that.


    In truth, Ye Yuan was able to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills now. But after entering the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan did not wish to overly expose himself.


    Before his wings were plumped up, overly exposing himself would only draw a fatal disaster.


    Although the Divine Realm''s territory was vast, the Medicine King Hall was one of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands. Its power was immense. How powerful the strength of a super holy land was, ordinary martial artists were simply unable to comprehend.


    If any rumors leaked into Ji Canglan''s ears, then the losses outweigh the gains.


    Even in the Divine Realm, those able to jump realms and refine medicinal pills were exceedingly rare too.


    If he established his reputation up and aroused the attention of observant and conscientious people, that would not be good.


    Ji Canglan was too familiar with him. If he let him see the medicinal pills he refined himself, he would definitely recognize it with a single glance!


    One could say that after arriving at the Divine Realm, danger was all around!


    This Steward Lu was not polite either, keeping the spirit medicine immediately.


    "Heh, you, this boy, have discerning eyes. Forget it, I know that you''re not reconciled to mining ores. Alchemists'' missions, there naturally are. But if you can''t complete them, don''t blame this old man!" Steward Lu said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Steward Lu."


    Regardless where one walked to, wounded people and sick people were ever present.


    The ability of alchemists which was the most deeply rooted in people''s hearts was refining pills. But refining pills could not fully-encompass an alchemist''s everything.


    As long as one was proficient in medicinal theory, low-level alchemists could similarly treat high-level martial artists.


    If Ye Yuan, an exalted Alchemy Emperor, was reduced to digging ores, then he could really go hit his head and die.


    Steward Lu took out a jade tablet and threw it to Ye Yuan, saying, "Boy, these are alchemist missions. The minimum is Tier 6. You have to look well. Don''t blame for me not warning you, reaching beyond your grasp in the Divine Realm may lose you your life!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you very much for Steward Lu''s reminder. Junior got it!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan received the jade tablet and inserted his divine sense inside. A large bunch of missions imprinted inside Ye Yuan''s brain.


    Just as Steward Lu said, the vast majority of alchemist missions were all seeking pills. However, there were always some difficult and peculiar diseases which were not easy to treat and needed to seek out alchemists.


    Ye Yuan swept over the missions, then returned the jade tablet to Steward Lu and said, "I''ve made a mark on the missions I want to take on. I''ll have to trouble Steward Lu to help me take on the missions."


    When Steward Lu heard Ye Yuan''s word, he could not help being rather suspicious.


    The meaning in Ye Yuan''s words seemed like he took on more than one mission?


    When he sunk his divine sense inside the jade tablet, his hands involuntarily trembled and he nearly threw the jade tablet out.


    "You . . . Are you courting death?! Taking on so many missions in one go!" Steward Lu looked at Ye Yuan like he saw a ghost.


    "Uh . . . is there anything inappropriate?" Ye Yuan said doubtfully.


    "Y-Y-You . . . really are infuriating this old man to death! If not on account of the spirit medicine, this old man wouldn''t even be bothered to care about you! Each time you take on a mission, City Lord Manor has to deduct 20% of the merit points. You took on so many missions in one go, but if you can''t complete them, you will be directly obliterated by City Lord Manor!" Steward Lu had a manner like he expected better from him.


    Only then did Ye Yuan came to a sudden realization. But he smiled and said, "Many thanks for Steward Lu''s warning. However . . . these few missions are very simple. There''s no harm."

 714 Gu Family Mission

    "Simple? Boy, you''re too naive! These few missions that you chose, there were already quite a number of high-rank Alchemy Ancestors who received them before in the city. But they all failed! Do you, a snotty brat who just ascended, really think that you''re remarkable?" Steward Lu said huffily.


    This boy''s eyes were high above his head. Later when he suffered a huge loss, wanting to regret would be too late!


    If he could not complete the missions within ten days, with Ye Yuan''s current zero merit points state, he would have to be wiped out!


    "Uh . . . Alchemy Ancestors is it?"


    Alchemy ancestors were nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes!


    Ye Yuan had an appearance like he had nothing to say. Steward Lu saw that this boy had clearly resolved his heart.


    He suddenly put away his expression and said with a smile, "Heh, this old man only reminded you on account of the spirit medicine. Since you''re seeking death yourself, then that''s also up to you."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Thank you very much, Senior."


    Steward Lu''s expression darkened, and he snorted coldly.


    Yu Ming did not speak all along by the side but took this scene fully into his eyes.


    Originally, he thought that Ye Yuan was a Martial Path genius. Did not expect that he was actually still an alchemist!


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s brimming with confidence appearance, he at least had Alchemy Sovereign Realm strength too.


    Just how did this boy cultivate?


    Yu Ming''s personality was more of having his bread buttered on both sides. He was very popular in this Ancient Opulence City and made quite a number of good friends.


    Even this Steward Lu regarded him with special attention too.


    It was just that even though Ye Yuan was formidable, he was still an ascender.


    According to Yu Ming''s thinking previously, Ye Yuan at least had to dig a few years of ores in the caves too.


    Whether a worm or a dragon, it would be discernible after a period of time.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not deign to dig ores at all and actually wanted to take on alchemist missions right away!


    Yu Ming knew that not only did alchemist missions have low risk, but the rewards were also high. Compared to those missions that risked one''s life for martial artists, alchemist missions practically did not have any risks.


    At most, it was just having some merit points deducted by City Lord Manor.


    Alchemists with ability all did not lack this bit of merit points.


    But Ye Yuan was different. He was a complete and utter newbie who did not have any merit points at all. Moreover, Ye Yuan was at the very most just an Alchemy Sovereign. How would he complete Tier 6 and above missions?


    If Ye Yuan was really seeking his own ruin, then forget it too. But if Ye Yuan really had this capability, then he would really have to make friends properly.


    "Little Brother Ye, you''ve just arrived and don''t know much about the situation in the city either. How about . . . this Yu be your guide?" Yu Ming came forward of his own accord to proffer.


    But Yu Ming''s words made Steward Lu reveal a surprised look.


    Yu Ming''s character, he was naturally aware. He was actually willing to be this punk''s guide. Could it be that this boy really had some skills?


    However, he thought through the link in this very quickly. Yu Ming definitely saw that this boy was insanely wild, so he wanted to stake on him.


    Hence, he darted Ye Yuan a disdainful glance.


    Let them toss about with it then. Either way, what should be said, was already all said.


    Regarding Yu Ming''s volunteering of his services, Ye Yuan naturally would not refuse. He was really oblivious to the situation in this Ancient Opulence City. Having a local snake as a guide was still pretty decent.


    "Then I''ll have to trouble Big Brother Yu." Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Haha, us brothers feel like old friends at the first meeting. What does this little bit of thing count as? Cheng Jiang, you return to the ascension pool first. I''ll accompany Little Brother Ye to walk one round," Yu Ming instructed.


    Along the way, Cheng Jiang was very dubious regarding Yu Ming''s actions.


    Moreover, he did not believe that Ye Yuan was able to complete these alchemist missions at all.


    What a joke. Could an alchemist who did not even have a badge be trusted?


    But between him and Yu Ming, it was always Yu Ming leading. Seeing Yu Ming instructed him, he took the initiative to leave as well.


    As for Huang Tao and Su Cheng, they were naturally very curious too. But they did not have the time to idle away here. They could only resign themselves to fate and report to the mines.


    . . . . . .


    Gu Family, one of Ancient Opulence City''s three great aristocratic families.


    Among the missions Ye Yuan took on, there was one issued by the Gu Family.


    This mission''s merit points was the highest among all of the missions; it was a full 500 merit points!


    If it were digging ores, one would have to dig for a full 100 days!


    Merit points were extremely precious in Ancient Opulence City. Even one merit point was also not that easy to obtain.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan listened to Yu Ming''s explanation, and he also had some sort of benchmark in his heart.


    One should not think that mining ores were simple labor. Wanting to get five merit points every day, that was virtually something impossible.


    Unless one''s luck was heaven-defying and dug up very high quality earth essence crystals, only then could one obtain five points.


    Under majority of the circumstances, there were only two to three merit points.


    To martial artists who had just ascended, mining ores were practically the only method to obtain merit points.


    500 merit points, even to a local snake like Yu Ming, it was a huge sum of wealth too.


    Due to the Divine Realm''s essence energy being thick, the quality of essence crystals was much higher compared to the Lower Realms'' high-grade essence crystals.


    One piece of earth essence crystal was equivalent to a thousand pieces of high-grade essence crystals!


    Ordinary essence crystals were mere trash in the Divine Realm.


    "Mm? Isn''t this Younger Brother Yu? Why are you free today to come and find Elder Brother, me, to drink wine?"


    Ye Yuan and Yu Ming had just arrived outside the Gu Family''s entrance when a manager-looking middle-aged man walked out and started greeting Yu Ming immediately.


    "Heh, where is Big Brother Gu Hong going?" Yu Ming greeted with a smile, looking very close to the other party.


    "Sigh, Younger Brother, if you came to find Elder Brother to drink wine, it would have to change to another day! Family Head made me go to Steward Lu there to cancel that mission issued there previously. Recently, there are always some ragtag alchemists, overestimating their own ability and taking on the Gu Family''s missions. In the end, they all did not live up to their name, infuriating Family Head badly!" Gu Hong said powerlessly.


    When Yu Ming heard, his expression could not help becoming awkward, as if Gu Hong was talking about him.


    Gu Hong was a sharp person as well. As soon as he saw Yu Ming''s expression, he could not help inquiring curiously, "What? Looking at your appearance, could it be that you''re here for this mission? Heh, since when did Younger Brother, your capability grows, to actually become an alchemist?"


    But as he was talking, Gu Hong''s countenance changed.


    Yu Ming knew that he could not conceal it and could only say, "Not that this Little Brother took it on, but this Little Brother Ye received it. But I feel that Little Brother Ye has some capability. Why not . . . let him give a try?"


    Actually, Yu Ming did not have any confidence in his heart too. After all, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was placed there.


    He also did not expect that the Gu Family''s current attitude towards the people who took on these missions was actually like this.


    If he knew it long ago, he would not have intentionally gotten involved in a messy situation.


    The Gu Family was one of Ancient Opulence City''s three great aristocratic families; it was an existence whose strength was second only to City Lord Manor.


    If he offended the Gu Family, they could pinch a nobody like him to death with one hand.


    One should not look at him addressing this Gu Hong as brothers. Gu Hong''s status was god knows how many times higher than him.


    To be able to climb up Gu Hong this line, Yu Ming expended a very high price too.


    But if Yu Ming offended the Gu Family, Gu Hong would definitely deal with him without any courtesy.


    A large family clan''s face tolerated no profaning!


    Originally thinking that Gu Hong would give him some meager consideration for his face, who knew that the moment he heard, his expression immediately fell. "Younger Brother Yu, you''re making it hard for me here! This mission of our family, aren''t you still clear? Several high-rank Alchemy Ancestors in the city were all at their wit''s end. Even if those who took on the mission were rookies, they were at least Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses too. This brat doesn''t even have a badge. Here to fish in muddied waters at a glance, right?"

 715 Jun Tianyu

    Gu Hong''s words were not the least bit courteous, not giving Ye Yuan any face at all in the slightest.


    Saying such words in front of others was not just beating down on people, it was also very disrespectful of people.


    Except, Gu Hong, as the Gu Family''s head-steward, he had the strength and power to not respect people.


    Just a puny little Divine Traversing Realm. He did not regard him with any importance at all.


    "This . . ." Yu Ming was put on a spot there, very awkward.


    "Younger Brother Yu, don''t blame Elder Brother for not giving you face, it''s seriously that this boy is too unreliable! You didn''t think about it thoroughly. Can a Divine Traversing Realm brat treat Eldest Miss''s illness? It still easy for things to be settled through discussion with me, but if you were to get on Family Head''s nerves, you know the consequences!" Gu Hong said without sparing any consideration for his face.


    Yu Ming could not help being startled when he heard that. It was just taking on a mission. He also did not think that it would actually be like this.


    He looked at Gu Hong and glanced at Ye Yuan again, and noticed that Ye Yuan had an indifferent appearance as if he thought nothing of Gu Hong''s attitude.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan really had the confidence to succeed?


    Yu Ming could not help recalling Ye Yuan''s appearance when he had just ascended. Seemed like it was this expression as well.


    At that time, Yu Ming also thought that Ye Yuan would crumble with one hit. Who knew that Cheng Jiang himself was forced to submit.


    If Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills were really so incredible, he was bound to be able to become a major figure that would cause a sensation in Ancient Opulence City in the future.


    It was just that the Gu Family''s Eldest Miss''s illness, Yu Ming was aware about it. So many Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses were all at a loss on what to do. Could Ye Yuan do it?


    If he enraged the Gu Family''s Family Head, this consequence . . .


    To gamble or not?


    "Elder Brother, let him try it! This little brother of mine is an Alchemy Path divine physician. Perhaps he can really do it? If there''s any problem, this Yu will shoulder it!" Yu Ming said this sentence at the behest of supernatural powers.


    Ye Yuan gave Yu Ming a glance rather surprisedly but still did not make a sound.


    "Haha, you shoulder it? Can you shoulder it? Oh, Little Yu, I didn''t think that you can be very cocky just because of me normally calling you as my younger brother. Once Family Head is enraged, even I can''t bear it. On what basis can you shoulder it? A snotty brat who doesn''t even have an alchemist badge, still Alchemy Path divine physician, drop it!" Gu Hong beat down without any consideration for feelings.


    "You! Elder Brother''s words are a bit too insulting!" Yu Ming was angered until his face turned green.


    Normally, he did not show a lack of ''filial piety'' to Gu Hong. Who knew that this fellow was actually an ingrate. Not only was he of no use in a pinch, the words he said were even so infuriating.


    "Heh, this is insulting? Oh, Little Yu, normally, I see that you''re quite an astute guy. Why are you pretending to be muddleheaded today? Calling you as my younger brother is on account of you being sensible. Do you really think that . . . you''re on equal footing with me?" Gu Hong''s tone gradually became cold, shocking Yu Ming.


    Although Gu Hong was a servant, he was the Gu Family''s Head Steward. His authority was extremely great.


    To really deal with a nobody like Yu Ming, that was too easy.


    Right at this time, he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder twice from behind. Turning his head around, it was actually Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Big Brother Yu, let''s go. The humiliation that he gave you today, you''ll return to him tenfold another day!"


    Gu Hong had never looked Ye Yuan right in the eye all along. Hearing Ye Yuan ''talk wild drivel'' at this time, he burst into laughter and said, "Punk, not scared of the wind spraining your tongue when talking big?! In this Ancient Opulence City, people able to humiliate me, Gu Hong, there really are! However, that person definitely isn''t you!"


    "Not me. It''s him." Ye Yuan used his finger to point at Yu Ming.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned right around and left. Yu Ming''s expression flickered incessantly, gritted his teeth, and left with Ye Yuan.


    While Gu Hong looked at Ye Yuan''s back view with a somber face and said with a cold sneer, "Heh, a punk who came from who knows where. Absurdly arrogant! To dare talk this way to this old man, really tired of living!"


    . . . . . .


    "Brother Ye, what should we do now?" Yu Ming caught up to Ye Yuan and asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Looks like I thought too simply of the matter! Since the Gu Family has this attitude, then let''s start from simple missions."


    "Uh . . . Which mission is simpler?"


    Yu Ming knew that Ye Yuan took on seven to eight missions in one breath. He already knew the contents of these missions.


    In his view, it seemed like not a single one was completed!


    There were many alchemist missions. But there were quite a number of Alchemy Ancestors in the city. So missions that could be completed were definitely all completed already.


    The remainder were basically all missions that these Alchemy Ancestors were unable to complete.


    Missions like this, which one was easy?


    Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "This one!"


    Yu Ming brought Ye Yuan to a residence east of the city anxious and doubtfully. The residence was not large, but it was very exquisite.


    In Ancient Opulence City, to be able to own such a residence, their strength absolutely brooked no slighting.


    "May I ask if Lord Jun Tianyu is there? We''re here for the mission that you issued!"


    Yu Ming felt that his throat was somewhat parched. Because this Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City''s number one swordsman, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse!


    This Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City''s legend. Even City Lord, His Excellency, showed him some courtesy too.


    Such a major figure, just stomping his feet could make the Ancient Opulence City tremble.


    "The door isn''t locked. Enter yourselves," a middle-aged man''s voice came over, seeming rather worn out.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he pushed the door directly and entered.


    Yu Ming thought about it and followed inside too.


    Ye Yuan passed through the main hall and directly entered the rear-manor. Lightly pushing open the door, a man in white garment was currently sitting by the bedside with a haggard face.


    Although it was unintentional, the aura on the man''s body was incomparably powerful!


    This man was clearly Jun Tianyu.


    A woman lied on the bed. The woman was gaunt and thin and already on her deathbed.


    Seeing Ye Yuan duo enter, the man''s brows could not help knitting slightly as he said unhappily, "Divine Traversing Realm? You''re the one who took on the mission?"


    Yu Ming was wearing the City Lord Manor''s attire on him. Evidently, it was impossible to take on the mission. Then there was only this Divine Traversing Realm boy.


    "Feeble breathing, divine soul dim; there are signs of her days being numbered. If Senior Jun has time to doubt if this Ye has the ability, better to let me diagnose first," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Jun Tianyu''s body could not help shuddering slightly when he heard that, and he said, "Boy, don''t play games with me. Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!"


    These words were said with seething killing intent. But by the side, Yu Ming was quaking in his boots.


    Don''t look at Jun Tianyu''s refined and elegant appearance. He made a name for himself through massacre.


    Even though he already had not displayed his skills in front of people for some years, nobody thought that he was a harmless chap.


    Indeed, the missions which Ye Yuan took on, not one was easy to deal with!


    Thinking up to here, Yu Ming could not help breaking into a sweat with fright for Ye Yuan secretly. Of course, he also broke into cold sweat for his own life.


    Ye Yuan sat by the bedside and started to read that woman''s pulse. Very soon, Ye Yuan''s brows started to furrow.


    Jun Tianyu was already irritated to begin with. Seeing this scene, he could not help sneering in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was exactly the same as the people who came in the past. Evidently, at a loss on what to do again.


    The flames of fury in his heart currently had nowhere to vent, but there were those who did not fear death coming to deliver themselves to his house!


    "I wonder, how many women does Senior Jun have?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked a sentence without rhyme or reason.

 716 Soul Miring Nightmare Curse

    The moment these words came out, the temperature in the house instantly fell several degrees.


    Yu Ming was taken aback and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan and said softly, "My Little Ancestor, don''t speak nonsense! Lord Jun was enraged to the extreme for a woman back then, killing until Ancient Opulence City was turned upside down, directly annihilating a large family clan! And that woman is precisely this one before your eyes!"


    The sweat beads on Yu Ming were already dripping. Ye Yuan was simply touching the sore spot!


    Jun Tianyu had two things he was most famed for in Ancient Opulence City. The first was that he killed people without batting an eye. And the second was his infatuation.


    The meaning of Ye Yuan''s words earlier was saying that Jun Tianyu was fickle in love!


    Wasn''t it deadly?


    "Young man, are you here to intentionally make fun of this venerable? If that''s really the case, then your goal is achieved!" Jun Tianyu said icily.


    Jun Tianyu was Ancient Opulence City''s illustrious Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse. Killing these two in front of him was also something with a wave of his hand.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious as he said, "Don''t have huh . . . Then that''s odd. Which woman has such a huge enmity with you, to actually want to make you die with deep regrets even by throwing away her own life."


    Jun Tianyu''s eyebrows raised up, and he asked, "En? What''s the meaning of your words?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Madam Jun is inflicted with the Soul Miring Nightmare Curse. The caster curses the person they love to grow old and die alone with never entering samsara as the price! This sort of curse is exceedingly vicious. Furthermore, it''s a typical example of harming others without benefits. Under normal circumstances, those who cast this skill are all women who can''t obtain the person they love, giving birth to hatred as a result of love. Only then would they not stint to betray their own divine soul as the price and also had to make the other party not obtain true love."


    Jun Tianyu was shocked in his heart when he heard that. That imposing momentum earlier immediately vanished away into nothing.


    "This . . . Do you have a basis on saying this?" Jun Tianyu asked.


    "When Madam Jun''s illness just started, did she have nightmares every single day? Normally, she has no appetite for food, is listless, and seemingly unable to raise her spirits towards anything?" Ye Yuan asked.


    With this, Jun Tianyu''s expression suddenly changed and he nodded his head and said, "That''s right, it''s precisely so! At first, Yiru didn''t pay attention to this. Who knew that the situation became increasingly serious. In the end, it got completely out of hand!"


    "That''s right then! After this skill is cast, it will not show effect immediately but will incubate for around five to seven years. But once it erupts, it will be like floodwaters and fierce beasts, going out of control! Within a year, the person inflicted with the curse will be tormented by the divine soul to death! If my conjectures are correct, a significant event should have happened to Senior Jun six to seven years ago," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Jun Tianyu had yet to speak when Yu Ming jumped up all at once. "Ah! Seven years ago, wasn''t it the day Senior Jun went on a killing spree, exterminating the Tao Family?"


    Jun Tianyu''s expression changed drastically, and he fell back several steps in a row. He muttered under his breath, "This . . . This. . . No way, right? Could it be her?"


    Jun Tianyu had an appearance like he was battered out of his sense. Clearly, Ye Yuan hit all of it on the mark!


    It was just that Ye Yuan was somewhat doubtful. Looking at Jun Tianyu''s appearance, he did not look like those people who went around womanizing. Why would someone use this kind of method to deal with him?


    "Looks like that legend is true!" Yu Ming also murmured.


    Ye Yuan had a puzzled look and asked, "What legend?"


    Yu Ming looked deeply at Ye Yuan, thinking to himself that this fellow was simply divine. Clearly, a martial artist who just ascended and he actually uttered over half of the sequence of events like he saw it with his own eyes by diagnosing a pulse.


    But seeing Ye Yuan inquired, Yu Ming still said, "Ancient Opulence City originally didn''t have three great aristocratic families but four great aristocratic families. Lord Jun''s relationship with the Tao Family of the four great aristocratic families wasn''t bad. I heard that the Tao Family''s Eldest Miss was deeply in love with him. It''s just that no idea why, but Lord Jun''s relationship with the Tao Family deteriorated. The Tao Family even captured Lord Jun''s beloved wife away. Lord Jun husband and wife were very much in love, and he actually carried a sword and slaughtered his way to the Tao Family, overwhelmingly cutting down the Tao Family''s three Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses! Ever since then, the Tao Family utterly declined, and the four great aristocratic families became three great aristocratic families. I heard that the Tao Family''s Eldest Miss died suddenly half a month later. Looking at it now . . ."


    At this time, how could Yu Ming still doubt Ye Yuan''s ability?


    This mission, Jun Tianyu had already advertised it for nearly half a year''s time. There were no less than five Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses who took on the mission successively, but they all returned in defeat.


    The moment Ye Yuan made a move, he diagnosed the ins and outs of the matter clearly.


    Such skill simply made those so-called Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses perspire from shame!


    Rather, Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after listening to this story.


    Even though Yu Ming did not know the details in it, some conjectures, the public probably knew long ago. It was just that due to Jun Tianyu''s domineeringness, Yu Ming did not dare to say explicitly.


    Very clearly, Jun Tianyu discarded the Tao Family''s Eldest Miss after playing with her. In the end, it even made a major family clan decline. It was also no wonder that she wanted to use such a vicious curse.


    Right at this time, a long sigh sounded out.


    Jun Tianyu sighed and said, "The matter isn''t like what you all think! I only have familial affection towards Tao Queqiang and never had improper thoughts before! Nine years ago, she confessed to me. I rejected her on the spot. I was afraid that she would overthink, so I left to travel. It was also during that journey that I got acquainted with Yiru. From the first time I laid eyes on her, I fell completely in love with her and swore to spend all my life with her. After we got married, we became tired of a wandering life and returned to Ancient Opulence City to settle down. Who could have thought . . ."


    Hearing this story, Ye Yuan immediately understood in his heart.


    Turns out that it was an unrequited love, finally developing into a tragedy of mutual love and killing.


    Presumably, it was that Tao Family who went overboard. Otherwise, they would also not have thoroughly infuriated Jun Tianyu this killing god.


    It was just that the Tao Family''s Eldest Miss was truly a bit too willful and resolute. Jun Tianyu not taking a fancy to her had its reasons too.


    "Master, I beg you to save Yiru! As long as you can save her, I can agree to any conditions! I originally thought that I can give Yiru happiness. Who knew that what I gave her was all pain!" Jun Tianyu had tears in his eyes, grabbing hold of Ye Yuan''s arm as he said agitatedly.


    Unknowingly, Jun Tianyu even used ''Master,'' this form of address.


    By the side, Yu Ming was dazed from watching long ago!


    He did not expect that the Jun Tianyu who killed people without batting an eye actually had such a soft and weak side too.


    He also did not think that Ye Yuan''s Medicinal Dao was actually so superb, to actually be able to let the killing god-like Jun Tianyu beg with tears in his eyes.


    At this moment, Yu Ming finally knew where the confidence of Ye Yuan saying that sentence to Gu Hong previously lie!


    Thinking up to here, he unwittingly started to somewhat faintly look forward to it.


    Looks like this wager was really gambled correct!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Jun husband and wife are deeply in love. How can this Ye bear to watch you guys be separated by life and death?"


    Jun Tianyu trembled and said, "Master really has a way? Whatever instructions there are, Master feels free to say. Even if it''s a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, this Jun will also force my way in!"


    "Huhu, Senior Jun is too serious. But this Soul Miring Nightmare Curse is indeed a little troublesome. I really do need to trouble Senior Jun to prepare some things," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

 717 Favor

    "Quickly say, what do you need to prepare?" Jun Tianyu said agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan casually took out a blank jade slip and engraved some names inside. Handing it to Jun Tianyu, he said, "These Tier 6 medicinal herbs are all necessary items. Additionally, I still require a kind of core medicine named Cleansing Water Flower. It might not be too easy to find."


    "Cleansing Water Flower? It''s really a coincidence! The last time I invited Master Yi Dan over, he used a medicinal pill refined using Cleansing Water Flower. But sadly, it didn''t have any effect on Yiru at all. I''ll go and find him and ask if he still has Cleansing Water Flowers there or not! This brother, I''ll have to trouble you to make a trip to Golden Cauldron Tower and help me buy these medicinal herbs back. Rest assured, the merit points spent, I''ll return to you double."


    Jun Tianyu''s latter half of the sentence was said to Yu Ming.


    Yu Ming hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. To serve Lord Jun, it''s this lowly one''s honor!"


    Before today, Yu Ming never would have dreamed that a major figure like Jun Tianyu would actually address him with great familiarity!


    To an unimportant person like him, this was an immense honor.


    Compared to this, what did running an errand count as?


    Yu Ming received the jade slip from Ye Yuan''s hands and took his leave right away.


    "Master Ye, I''ll go make a trip. My wife will have to trouble you to take care," Jun Tianyu said.


    Ye Yuan said, "Senior Jun just go ahead. Just nice, I''ll make use of this bit of time to carry out a set of acupuncture therapy for Madam Jun. She''s too weak and needs to recover some vitality."


    Jun Tianyu was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble master!"


    Finished talking, Jun Tianyu''s figure flashed, vanishing from sight directly.


    Ye Yuan sighed emotionally and said, "This Jun Tianyu''s sword intent runs unobstructed. He has probably touched the threshold of supreme true intent already. In the future, he''s bound to be another shocking figure."


    Ye Yuan himself cultivated in the sword too. He was extremely sensitive to sword intent. The height of Jun Tianyu''s concepts, it was likely rare for him to have opponents in this Ancient Opulence City!


    . . . . . .


    Gu Family, Gu Hong had already rescinded the mission long ago and returned to the family clan.


    At this time, a Gu Family''s guest retainer was standing in front of him as he said respectfully, "Steward Gu, already investigated clearly. That brat Yu Ming brought over is called Ye Yuan, a lower realm martial artist who just ascended today. He wasn''t willing to go to the north of the city to dig ores, so he drew seven to eight alchemist missions at Steward Lu''s place."


    Gu Hong could not help being stunned when he heard and asked somewhat disbelievingly, "What did you say? Just ascended today? You''re sure that there isn''t a mistake?"


    That guest retainer nodded and said, "I won''t be wrong. Each ascender has records at the ascension pool. This subordinate got people to go and examine the name list of the ascenders today. Among them had Ye Yuan''s name."


    Gu Hong could not help laughing when he heard that and said, "I was thinking which tom, dick, and harry it was. After a long time, I found out it''s just someone who ascended today! This blowing of the trumpet nearly blew a hole in this sky!"


    The guest retainer also laughed when he heard and said, "This boy indeed doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Our Ancient Opulence City''s ascenders, other than those mining for ores, there has never been people who survived past ten days before. This punk dared to take on Tier 6 missions right when he arrived. This is simply courting death."


    Gu Hong shook his head and laughed as he said, "Huhu, I also don''t know what kind of magic potion he got that punk Yu Ming to drink. To actually even want to let that boy come and treat Eldest Miss''s illness! Fortunately, this old man was smart. Otherwise, Family Head would have to fly into a rage! Forget it, forget it, let that punk go and mess around. When he gets eradicated by the City Lord Manor, see how Yu Ming that punk comes in front of me and fall on his knees begging!"


    The guest retainer was just about to leave but was stopped by Gu Hong again. "Oh, right, that punk met with a rebuff here at my place. Where did he go after?"


    The guest retainer replied, "The two of them went to Lord Jun Tianyu''s place. Afterward, Yu Ming went to the Golden Cauldron Tower."


    Gu Hong was stunned again and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "That punk is really an ignorant person having no fear, to actually dare go to Lord Jun there. Initially still thinking of making a move to deal with him. Looking at it now, don''t need us to make a move and Lord Jun will take his life!"


    . . . . . .


    In just two hours, Jun Tianyu brought the Cleansing Water Flower back.


    The moment he entered the house, his entire person was like struck by a thunderbolt.


    His wife, Liu Yiru was currently reclined on the bed. The originally pale face actually had an additional trace of rosiness.


    She was already unconscious for over a month. Jun Tianyu did not think that he was only gone for this short while and his wife had the strength to sit up.


    "Tian . . . Tianyu!"


    Even though she sat up, Liu Yiru was still very weak. But at this time, she struggled, wanting to get up.


    "Don''t move!" Jun Tianyu came right to the bedside with a flash and supported Liu Yiru.


    "You . . . How are you feeling?" Jun Tianyu said rather anxiously, worried that he would lose her.


    "S-Still alright," Liu Yiru forced a smile and said.


    But Ye Yuan at one side shook his head and sighed when he saw the situation and said, "Alright, don''t forcefully keep it up anymore. She just regained consciousness. Her body is still very weak. Don''t talk too much with her. The days to come are still long, no rush for this short while."


    Jun Tianyu''s old face reddened and he hurriedly laid Liu Yiru down. Then he said to Ye Yuan gratefully, "Many thanks, Master!"


    "Huhu, it''s still too earlier to thank me. Wait until Madam Jun recovers then thanking me isn''t late. Oh, right, is the Cleansing Water Flower brought back?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Jun Tianyu hurriedly took out the Cleansing Water Flower from his storage ring and passed it to Ye Yuan, saying, "Luckily, Master Yi Dan still had two stalks remaining there. No idea if it''s enough or not."


    Ye Yuan received the Cleansing Water Flower and said, "The quality is a little poor. But it''s barely enough to use."


    Before long, Yu Ming brought a large pile of Tier 6 spirit medicines and returned to Jun Tianyu''s manor. Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either. Deploying the Cleansing Water Flower, he started to simmer a decoction of medicinal soup.


    A short while later, Ye Yuan carried a bowl of medicinal soup, came before Jun Tianyu, and said, "This medicinal soup''s name is called Soul Cleansing Soup. It''s most useful towards dispelling some curses directed at the divine soul. But even this one bowl isn''t enough and is unable to eliminate thoroughly. I''ve already portioned all of the medicinal herbs. Remember to let Madam Jun drink three times daily. After five days, she''ll definitely recover fully!"


    Jun Tianyu hurriedly carried the Soul Cleansing Soup and fed Liu Yiru to drink before saying agitatedly, "Master Ye is truly an immortal! This Jun really doesn''t know how to thank. I wonder if Master Ye has any needs. As long as this Jun can accomplish it, just say what''s on your mind!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Senior Jun don''t have to be so courteous. You issued the mission, I received the mission. After completing, there will naturally be a reward! After Madam Jun is completely recovered, you and I will be square."


    This was also Ye Yuan''s unswerving rule: only taking agreed upon consultation fees and never taking the slightest bit more.


    It was just that to Jun Tianyu, what did a mere few hundred merit points count as?


    "Master Ye''s words are not proper! To this Jun, even if I use all of my assets to exchange for Yiru''s life, I won''t furrow my brows at all too! A measly 500 merit points is seriously unable to express my feelings of gratitude!" Jun Tianyu said.


    "Heh, Senior Jun is someone who values sentiments greatly. But my rule is that I never overcharge consultation fees too! If Senior Jun feels somewhat indebted, just take it as owing this Ye a favor then. When this Ye needs it, I''ll naturally come to find Senior Jun," Ye Yuan said coolly.

 718 Hiring Murderer to Kill People

    "What?! You said that that Ye Yuan and Yu Ming came out from Lord Jun''s place safely?" Gu Hong nearly jumped up when he heard this news.


    "Yes. Lord Jun''s might is immensely formidable. Subordinate dare not draw near. But this subordinate has inquired. Somebody saw Lord Jun personally send Ye Yuan to the entrance!"


    From the guest retainer''s tone, one could also perceive that he was extremely shocked by this news as well.


    This time, Gu Hong finally could not be calm. He paced around in the room, seemingly very anxious.


    "Where did they go afterward?" Gu Hong suddenly stopped and asked.


    The guest retainer said, "They went to the Sun Family! I''ve already sent people to keep an eye on the Sun Family. Once there are any movements, we''ll immediately receive news."


    Gu Hong''s expression flickered incessantly. Clearly, this news was too unexpected for him, catching him somewhat off-guard.


    "Could it be that this punk called Ye Yuan is really capable? But he''s only Divine Traversing Realm. How is this possible?" Gu Hong frowned and said.


    "Steward Gu, what should we do for our next step?"


    Gu Hong thought about it and said, "Go keep an eye on the Sun Family. When they come out, immediately fish for information! That Sun Family''s illness is also a troublesome one. If he really has the ability to treat, then you . . . en?"


    Gu Hong did a palm-slicing-downwards gesture, his gaze revealing a murderous gleam. He was actually going to kill them to silence their mouths.


    . . . . . .


    The Sun Family was also a large family clan in the Ancient Opulence City. But it was a level weaker compared to the Gu Family.


    In front of the Su Family''s gates, a middle-aged man in fine-clothing sent Ye Yuan, White Light, and Yu Ming trio to the entrance.


    "Benefactor, better stay behind and have a simple meal. Let this Sun express my feelings of gratitude!" the middle-aged man in fine-clothing said with a thankful face.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "There will be time for that. Better for it to be next time. This Ye took on quite a few missions and still has to go and do them one family by one family."


    "This . . . Alright then. Then this Sun won''t keep Benefactor behind! Even though my Sun Family isn''t the three great aristocratic families, I still have some power in this Ancient Opulence City. If Benefactor has any needs, feel free to speak your mind freely!" said the Sun Family''s Family head said.


    "In this case, then thank you very much, Sun Family Head."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan bid farewell and left.


    By the side, Yu Ming had waves surging endlessly in his heart long ago already. It was just that in front of the Sun Family''s family head, it was unbecoming to show it.


    He hung around in this Ancient Opulence City for so many years and had always been very cautious, fearful of offending bigwigs.


    When had he ever been like today? Even Lord Jun and Sun Family''s Family Head, Sun Maosheng, were most respectful towards him, addressing him with great familiarity?


    Following by Ye Yuan''s side made him have a feeling of being in high and vigorous spirits, walking with his head held high!


    This sort of feeling was seriously too awesome!


    "Heh, Brother Ye is simply godlike! Whatever kind of complicated or rare illnesses, reaching Brother Ye''s hands, they were all resolved without extra trouble! These families'' missions are all famous in the entire Ancient Opulence City. But not a single person was able to resolve them. But once Brother Ye took action, everything was resolved!" The moment they left the Sun Family, Yu Ming said with an excited look.


    "This is called impressive? This is merely just so-so! What you saw is but the tip of the iceberg!" White Light said very disdainfully.


    Yu Ming did not know that White Light knew Ye Yuan had the ability to cross realms and refine medicinal pills.


    These illnesses actually did not need to be so troublesome. One medicinal pill could fix it. It was just that Ye Yuan did not wish to expose too many things, that was why he used such troublesome methods.


    Being rebutted by White Light, not only was Yu Ming not unhappy, he nodded his head repeatedly instead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ye''s methods are absolutely master-level. Old Yu, I, have no way of imagining at all!"


    Unknowingly, a change also happened to Yu Ming''s form of address towards Ye Yuan. Evidently, his attitude towards Ye Yuan had a transformation happening too.


    Originally, he was emotionally invested on Ye Yuan, with a long-term view.


    But in one day, he discovered to his surprise that he did not need to wait until long-term at all!


    "Alright, stop talking aimlessly. The next one . . . go to the city guards'' main camp then." Ye Yuan said.


    "Ah? C-City guards main camp?" The moment Yu Ming heard, even his speech became stammers.


    "Look at you! Following my big brother, what are you afraid of? Could it be that they will eat you?" White Light said crossly.


    "Uh . . . You got a point there, but . . ."


    "What are you being long-winded for? Are you going or not?"


    "Going! Why won''t I go?" Yu Ming made up his mind and said.


    Yu Ming belonged to the city guards and was even considered a small officer. Except, he got along better in the city, that was why he could go and guard the ascension pool.


    But entering the main camp, all he would see would be his superiors. How could the fear accumulated for many years be that easy to get rid of?


    The three people came to the city guards'' main camp. Immediately, there was a soldier stopping the trio.


    "Halt! What are you here for?"


    Yu Ming hastily went forward to explain. Then handed over Ye Yuan''s identity token before that soldier let them passed.


    The mission Ye Yuan received, it was all displayed in the identity token. The solder would know the moment he looked and naturally would not be mistaken.


    That soldier was just about to lead the three people inside. But after just a few steps, they bumped into a middle-aged army officer.


    "Why are you bringing strangers into the main camp?"


    That soldier hurriedly saluted and explained the situation.


    After middle-aged army officer heard, he said, "Oh, like that huh. Just nice, I''m going to Lord Head Commander there to report completion on a task. You go back first then. I''ll bring them over."


    That soldier was somewhat hesitant. "This . . ."


    "Relax. With me around, nobody will make things difficult for you," that middle-aged army officer said.


    "Yes, General Song Pan!"


    After the soldier left, Song Pan led the three people and walked towards the depths of the main camp.


    As he walked, Song Pan asked Ye Yuan curiously, "Really have some guts. A puny little Divine Traversing Realm actually dares to take on Lord Head Commander''s missions! His old problem has been there over a decade already. To this day, no one was able to treat it. Where did your confidence come from?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Nobody treated it, was naturally them being incapable. Since I dare to come, I naturally have assurance."


    "Haha, Lord Head Commander''s mission, I know a little bit. Seems like each one came brimming with confidence, but in the end, they were all chased out by Lord Head Commander with a flurry of sticks. I''m afraid that your small body can''t take the beating!" Song Pan said with a mocking laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at him but did not say anything. This guy was clearly finding trouble.


    Right then, Yu Ming suddenly opened his mouth and said, "General Song, it''s not right. This doesn''t seem to be the road leading to Commander Manor, right?"


    This city guards'' main camp, Yu Ming rarely came. But he was still aware of the general positions.


    Seeing as the road got increasingly remote, the people getting lesser and lesser, with Yu Ming''s astuteness, how could he still not detect something amiss?


    But this place was already very out of the way. The surroundings already did not have a soul.


    Song Pan suddenly turned around and said with a cold smile, "Boy, don''t blame this Song for being ruthless! Want to blame, blame that you offended a person that you shouldn''t have! I''ll send you on your way right now. When you go over there, remember to be more low-profile. When you don''t have strength, best not to be too arrogant!"


    At this time, Song Pan already revealed killing intent.


    Yu Ming''s expression changed, and he said, "General Song, what''s the meaning of this?"


    "Huhu, don''t you understand yet? This is someone hiring a murderer to kill people! Let me make a guess. Uh . . . Is it Gu Hong?" Ye Yuan snickered and said without any nervousness.

 719 The Overbearing Jun Tianyu

    "Heh, don''t need to probe. Do you think that I would be so naive?"


    Song Pan did not admit it verbally, but he was startled in his heart. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not hesitate, hitting the mark right away!


    Except that to Ye Yuan, it did not require guessing at all.


    Just how long has it been since he ascended? The only one with motives to harm him could only be Gu Hong.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Not admitting, is it? Doesn''t matter, you''ll admit it in a while!"


    "Still being stubborn when facing death! Go to hell!"


    Song Pan gritted his teeth and was about to make a move to kill Ye Yuan.


    Song Pan as a general, his strength already reached late-stage Boundless Realm. Killing these three people in front of him was just a matter of lifting a hand.


    But right at this time, a peerlessly powerful sword intent instantly enveloped him. That virtually destructive pressure actually made his entire person unable to move a muscle!


    The move had yet to be unleashed, and his entire person froze there, his face contorted!


    A figure gradually became real from an illusion. It was none other than precisely Jun Tianyu!


    When Song Pan saw the Jun Tianyu brimming with killing intent, his knees went soft, and he almost knelt down right away.


    "L-Lord Jun, w-why are you here?"


    Song Pan''s forehead was sweating profusely. This murderous god-like figure before his eyes, how could he afford to offend?


    Even when Lord Head Commander saw him, he had to be very courteous too!


    Jun Tianyu said coldly, "Master Ye is my benefactor. Why do you think I came?"


    "Ah? He . . . he . . ."


    Song Pan jumped in fright. How could this boy in front of him possibly be Jun Tianyu''s benefactor?


    "Humph! Are you going to end yourself? Or do you want me to send you on your way?" Jun Tianyu said straightforwardly.


    "Lord . . . Lord Jun, please appease your anger. I . . . I didn''t know that this Little Brother is Lord Jun''s benefactor!"


    Song Pan was crying regret in his heart. Why did he provoke until this killing god without rhyme or reason?


    But Jun Tianyu said coolly, "Don''t need to explain anymore. You already had killing intent just now. It''s enough to sentence you to death."


    "Lord Jun, this . . . this is the city guards'' main camp! On account of Commander Luo Fang''s face, spare this lowly one, Your Excellency!"


    Jun Tianyu''s words made Song Pan white as a sheet, kneeling down directly.


    But Jun Tianyu''s brows furrowed and he said, "Long-winded!"


    Finishing, Jun Tianyu pointed a finger out. A sharp and fierce sword intent pierced right through Song Pan''s heart and did not give him any opportunity to retaliate at all.


    Song Pan still did not dare to believe on his deathbed that Jun Tianyu really killed him just like this.


    His two eyes gradually became lifeless, collapsing in a pool of blood.


    "Master Ye, are you alright?" Jun Tianyu could not even be bothered to glance at Song Pan but said to Ye Yuan concernedly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m fine. Senior Jun came very promptly. All thanks to your token. It''s just that Senior Jun killing him just like this wouldn''t have any problems, right?"


    When the two people bade farewell, Jun Tianyu gave Ye Yuan a keepsake. As long as Ye Yuan crushed the token, Jun Tianyu would rush over very quickly.


    It was just that Ye Yuan also did not expect to actually use it so quickly.


    Jun Tianyu said with a smile, "This Jun killing a person, who dares to say anything? Since I''m here, I''ll accompany you to go and meet Luo Fang."


    "Alright. I''ll have to trouble Senior Jun then," Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    Jun Tianyu waved his hand and said, "What''s Master Ye being courteous with me for? Don''t keep calling Senior Jun. If Master Ye doesn''t mind, just call me elder brother will do."


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Haha, okay, Big Brother Jun! En, Big Brother Jun don''t keep calling Master Ye either. Directly call me Ye Yuan or younger brother will do."


    Jun Tianyu laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Younger Brother Ye!"


    Right at this time, a powerful aura came over from the Commander Manor''s direction. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front.


    "Who is it? To actually dare act wildly in my city guards'' main camp? Yii? Jun Tianyu, it''s you?"


    "Luo Fang, your subordinate wants to kill my brother. I''ve already helped you clean up your household," Jun Tianyu said overbearingly.


    Luo Fang''s face darkened, and he said, "Jun Tianyu, aren''t you a little too arrogant? Even if I want to clean up my household, when is it your turn to make a move?"


    Jun Tianyu said coolly, "Killed him means I killed him. What do you want?"


    "You! Jun Tianyu, if you don''t give me an account today, the two of us aren''t done!"


    Luo Fang looked at Song Pan''s corpse, enraged until he was blowing smoke from all seven orifices.


    Jun Tianyu was seriously not giving any face, killing his own subordinate in his own territory. If this spreads out, how would he, this head commander, command the troops?


    Jun Tianyu said coolly, "If it were normally, I wouldn''t be inclined to bother with you. But today, I''ll make an exception and give you an account. He''s called Ye Yuan, my wife''s savior. Very soon, he''ll be your benefactor too. Just now, this subordinate of yours wanted to kill Ye Yuan. Do you think my reason to kill him . . . is enough or not?"


    Luo Fang''s expression changed, and he said, "What?! Your wife''s illness . . . is healed?"


    As the city guards'' head commander, Luo Fang was naturally aware of Liu Yiru''s illness.


    In this recent one year, Jun Tianyu had been searching for famous doctors for her every day, even going to other cities to find powerful alchemists. But there were no results.


    Now, Liu Yiru''s sickness was actually treated by a boy still wet behind his ears!


    Everyone in Ancient Opulence City all knew that Jun Tianyu loved his wife dearly. If this was a reason, then it really was justifiable.


    Jun Tianyu smiled and said, "Does Commander Luo feel that I would joke around with this sort of thing? Ye Yuan was planning on treating your chronic illness by coming to the main camp today. Who knew that this subordinate of yours actually wanted to kill him. What''s wrong with me helping you clean up your household?"


    Luo Fang''s expression changed slightly, and he could not resist shooting a glance at Song Pan''s corpse once more. But this time, there was no sympathy at all.


    Deserved to die!


    It was just that he was still half-believingly and half-doubtful about Jun Tianyu''s words and asked, "This . . . He, a measly little Divine Traversing Realm, really have this kind of capability?"


    Jun Tianyu could not help laughing as he said, "Your expression right now is exactly the same as when I met him for the first time! Whether or not he has the ability, what I say doesn''t count. Just try, and you''ll know!"


    "This . . . Fine then. Please!"


    . . . . . .


    "What? You say that Song Pan was killed by Jun Tianyu?" Gu Hong was alarmed until his voice and countenance changed when he heard this news.


    "Yes. Song Pan had yet to take action, and Jun Tianyu actually rushed there already! Looks like he gave that punk some message token," the retainer said.


    Gu Hong felt that his head was about to explode. Just what kind of monster was this Ye Yuan? To actually be able to make Jun Tianyu, this kind of character, willingly come forward for him?


    "How can a brat who just ascended have such heaven-defying means? Jun Tianyu''s wife was practically sentenced to death already. He could actually bring her back to life?"


    Gu Hong was depressed to the extreme in his heart. This outcome clearly exceeded his expectations too much.


    "Not just Jun Tianyu''s wife. The Sun Family''s mission, Commander Luo Fang''s mission, he completed all of them! Intel just came from over there, not only did Commander Luo Fang not blame Ye Yuan, he sent him and Jun Tianyu outside the main camp with a big smile instead. The three people addressed each other with great familiarity like they were blood brothers."


    ". . . . . ."


    Gu Hong was speechless.

 720 Regaining Face

    "Oh, Gu Hong, I heard that an extremely formidable alchemist appeared in the city recently and already treated quite a few illnesses that nobody was able to treat, yes or no?" the Gu Family''s Family Head, Gu Changshun said.


    It had already been five day''s time since Ye Yuan ascended. In these five days, Ye Yuan already completed all of the missions he took on without failing a single one!


    These few missions were all famous difficult and peculiar diseases in the city, virtually missions determined impossible to complete.


    Ye Yuan, this alchemist who emerged explosively actually resolved all of the missions one by one. It could be imagined how great a stir it caused in Ancient Opulence City.


    Gu Changshun also heard this news today, then called Steward Gu Hong over immediately to ask about the situation.


    The moment Gu Hong heard, his heart involuntarily thumped, thinking to himself, it indeed still came.


    "Ah? There . . . . There . . . was such a thing? This lowly one didn''t go out these two days and really haven''t a clue that such a major thing happened in the city! But I reckon that these are all rumors, right? It''s fine if it''s treating one, but treating a whole bunch is a little too exaggerated, right? I reckon it''s that alchemist bragging himself in order to draw attention." Gu Hong exercised his wits.


    At this time, Gu Hong could only drag it out as long as he could.


    But Gu Changshun shook his head and said, "It really isn''t like that! Today, when I went to City Lord Manor to meet City Lord, His Excellency, I just happened to bump into Luo Fang. He told me personally that the chronic illness he was plagued with for over a decade was treated by that alchemist. With Luo Fang''s character, if the other party didn''t have genuine skill, he would not praise unceasingly like so!"


    Gu Hong was bitter in his heart. But since Gu Changshun already said until like this, he could only follow up, "Like that huh. Since even Commander Luo said so, then it probably won''t be wrong! I wonder who is it, to actually have such capability?"


    Gu Changshun said, "Heard that it''s even a young man who just ascended a couple of days, called, er, Ye Yuan. Gu Hong, you go and find that Ye Yuan. Regardless of what kind of price you have to pay, you must invite him over! Perhaps, he can really treat Xuan-er''s illness!"


    Gu Hong was naturally a hundred times unwilling in his heart. It was just that Gu Changshun''s words, how could he dare to defy?


    He could only acknowledge at once, "Yes, Family Head!"


    Coming out from Gu Changshun there, Gu Hong was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.


    He never would have thought that in the end, he actually really had to go and beg Ye Yuan!


    The conversation that day was still vivid in his mind. At that time, he was very scornful of Ye Yuan.


    But a few days passed, Ye Yuan actually directly became an esteemed guest among the city''s upper echelons!


    Now, even Family Head actually heard of his reputation before.


    Forced to go, he, Gu Hong, could not swallow this insult!


    If he did not go, he could not give an account over on Family Head''s side here too!


    For a moment, Gu Hong fell into a dilemma.


    The most crucial thing was that even if he threw out this old face, would Ye Yuan give him this face?


    He did not leave any leeway at all on that day and already thoroughly offended Ye Yuan badly. Now, going to beg him once more, wasn''t it reaching his face out for people to hit?


    Gu Hong felt that he had been wronged. Who could have thought that a Divine Traversing Realm boy actually had such enigmatic strength?


    If it were others, they wouldn''t give Ye Yuan any good attitude on that day too, right?


    Thinking it over, Gu Hong finally stomped his feet and went out of the Gu Family''s gates.


    No matter what method he used, Gu Hong must invite Ye Yuan over today.


    Otherwise, if this matter were made known to Family Head, he would be dead for sure!


    . . . . . .


    Five day''s time, Ye Yuan did the missions and obtained a total of 3000 merit points.


    These 3000 merit points had 20% deducted by City Lord Manor, leaving 2400 merit points.


    Ye Yuan gave over half of the merit points to White Light and spend another 500 merit points to buy a residence in the city, but was only left with 700 merit points.


    "This merit points is really hard to earn. Took a lot of trouble and ran around for five days and actually only earned 700 merit points. Wanting to obtain freedom is really not an easy thing!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitude of emotions.


    By the side, Jun Tianyu could not suppress laughter as he said, "Younger Brother Ye, if these words of yours were heard by the other ascenders, they would probably vomit blood from anger! These 700 merit points, they have to use one to two year''s time before they are able to pool it together. And you, only used five days!"


    "Brother Ye must be joking. Your Big Brother Jun lurked in Ancient Opulence City for close to a hundred year''s time, and his entire assets are merely just several hundred thousand of merit points too. At this rate you earn merit points, in a few years, you''ll be able to surpass him!" Liu Yiru covered her mouth and laughed.


    "That''s right. Brother Ye, stop boasting in front of me! Lord Jun''s assets are plentiful, but I, this sort of impoverished person, only have a few thousand merit points!" Yu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears as he said.


    Yu Ming had a wide circle of acquaintances in Ancient Opulence City. That needed to spend large amounts of merit points. So over the years, he did not have much merit points on him at all.


    Ye Yuan only used five day''s time and the merit points earned was already about the same as him. This was indeed quite a blow.


    Liu Yiru already recovered fully in these two days. Jun Tianyu brought her along to express thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "100 thousand merit points before one can exchange for freedom. This requirement is also truly a little sick. Those ascended martial artists basically have to waste 60 to 70 years of time here!"


    Jun Tianyu said, "It has to look at strength and potential still! Some ascenders, once they adapt to the Divine Realm, their improvement will be very fast, only using a few year''s time and they will have the ability to go take on missions. Roughly around ten year''s time, they will be able to exchange for their freedom. As for those people without potential, give them a hundred years, and they might not be able to pool together 10 thousand points either."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. It was indeed this reasoning.


    "May I ask . . . Is this place Master Ye''s residence?"


    The few people were currently chatting happily when a voice suddenly sounded out outside the door.


    When Ye Yuan heard this voice, he could not help laughing and said to Yu Ming, "Big Brother Yu, this insult, I''ll let you vent it then! Whenever you''re satisfied, we''ll talk terms with him again."


    Yu Ming could not help freezing slightly when he heard that and looked at Ye Yuan gratefully.


    He knew that this was Ye Yuan giving him the chance to regain face personally!


    Gu Hong''s words on that day deeply wounded Yu Ming''s pride, and also thoroughly sobered him up.


    These few years, Yu Ming had always been operating carefully in Ancient Opulence City, and also gradually build up a bit of fame.


    But all the way until that day, then only Yu Ming deeply understood that turns out, he was still just a minor character! No one thought highly of him at all!


    No matter how many things you knew, without strength, you would never get other people''s respect!


    These few days, he followed by Ye Yuan''s side and saw Ye Yuan being treated as a distinguished guest by the bigwigs who he did not even dare to think about. He even saw Jun Tianyu kill Song Pan in a blink.


    Only when one''s strength was genuinely powerful could one get genuine respect!


    Even if he was just a penniless nobody, following by Ye Yuan''s side, he also obtained ample respect!


    "Brother Ye, thank you very much!" Yu Ming said gratefully.

 721 Winds of Fortune Change

    "Hehe, Younger Brother Yu, I wonder if Master Ye is at home?" Gu Hong thickened his skin and asked.


    Gu Hong was a servant to begin with. This skill of shamelessness was much more powerful than a bottom-level martial artist like Yu Ming.


    Like previously, he was afraid of Gu Changshun''s blame and did not give Yu Ming face at all, finishing off Ye Yuan with a single blow.


    Now, he had no choice but to come to his door begging. He even thickened his face and addressed Yu Ming with great familiarity too.


    Yu Ming sneered when he saw the situation and said, "Isn''t this Lord Gu? Don''t address a lowly person like me as your brother so as to avoid lowering your status!"


    Yu Ming had a stomach full of resentment towards Gu Hong. Not seizing this chance to regain face properly, how would he be liberated in his heart?


    But Gu Hong did not care about the sarcasm in Yu Ming''s words at all. He still had an ingratiating look as he said, "Look at what you''re saying! I, Gu Hong, am merely a servant of the Gu Family, and I am also an impoverished person in this Ancient Opulence City. Why must Younger Brother Yu make things difficult for Elder Brother, me? I know that Younger Brother Yu is still unhappy about the incident that day. But Elder Brother also has difficulties, right? Today, Elder Brother came firstly to find Master Ye to take action. Another thing is to specially come and apologize to Younger Brother Yu!"


    One had to acknowledge that this Gu Hong indeed had skills. The words said were flawless, lightly skating over that day''s incident.


    If it were just a young and inexperienced boy, he would probably shed tears of gratitude immediately, addressing Gu Hong as his brother.


    It was just that no matter how poorly Yu Ming got along, he was a wily old fox too.


    For Gu Hong to want to pull the wool over his eyes so easily, how could it be something that easy?


    "Heh, Steward Gu, don''t give me that! Whatever you have, quickly say! If there''s nothing, get lost straight away for me! Master Ye is very busy and doesn''t have time to waste on a servant like you," Yu Ming said indifferently


    Yu Ming felt liberated in his heart!


    This had only been a few days, and all the face that chould be found were all regained!


    Didn''t you make Your Father get lost on that day? Now, you scram as far as you can get for Your Father!


    Didn''t you say that Your Father wasn''t on the same level as you on that day? Hehe, now, you''re the servant!


    Several days passed, Yu Ming''s relationship with Ye Yuan already had titanic changes.


    Even though Ye Yuan kept calling him as his elder brother, Yu Ming had the self-awareness that he was on a completely different level with Ye Yuan.


    Just take a look, what kind of people did Master Ye have dealings with?


    Jun Tianyu, Luo Fang, Sun Maosheng, which one of them was not a major figure in Ancient Opulence City where the entire city would tremble when they stomped their feet?


    But even so, Ye Yuan still gave Yu Ming a feeling akin to a breath of spring breeze.


    Yu Ming saw clearly that what changed was only his own mentality. Ye Yuan''s attitude towards him was no different from the start!


    So in Yu Ming''s eyes, Gu Hong was really just a servant, while his identity was much higher than Gu Hong''s.


    Gu Hong was clearly coming with his back to the wall this time and was already prepared to give play to his shamelessness to the max!


    "My purpose of coming, is Younger Brother Yu still unclear? This Gu wish to request an audience with Master Ye and invite him to take a look at Eldest Miss''s illness! Whatever terms there are, Master Ye can feel free to say."


    As he was talking, Gu Hong dug out a storage ring and handed it to Yu Ming, saying with a fawning look. "This is a small token from Elder Brother. Younger Brother Yu, please accept! After the matter is done, Elder Brother will still have a little something! I know that Younger Brother is a favorite of Master Ye. As long as Younger Brother, you, make an exception, this matter, we can settle it through discussion, no?"


    Gu Hong felt pain in his heart!


    He spent an arm and a leg this time in order to patch his relationship up with Yu Ming.


    In that storage ring, there were one thousand low-grade earth essence crystals!


    And these one thousand low-grade earth essence crystals was already one-fifth of his savings.


    One had to know that low-grade earth essence crystals and merit points could be exchanged one-for-one.


    Which was also to say that Gu Hong gave Yu Ming a thousand merit points all at once!


    This was absolutely a huge sum!


    Yu Ming used divine sense to inspect the storage ring and also palpitated with excitement in his heart.


    This old fellow was really hemorrhaging this time!


    But Yu Ming made a difficult expression on his face and said, "This . . . Steward Gu, not that I''m not willing to help you, it''s seriously that Master Ye is really very busy . . ."


    Gu Hong gnashed his teeth until it made grinding sounds and actually fished out another storage ring, saying, "Younger Brother Yu, I naturally know that Master Ye is very busy. It''s just that our family''s Eldest Miss''s illness, you''re aware about it too. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Old Gu, I, only have this bit of savings too!"


    Gu Ming had a destitute look, secretly delighting Yu Ming inwardly.


    He received the storage ring and had a look. Inside indeed had quite a few good stuff. The value was probably around 500 merit points or so too.


    "Fine then. On account of Steward Gu having such sincerity, I''ll go and have a word with Master Ye. As for whether or not he consents, I dare not guarantee!" Yu Ming said with difficulty.


    "Doesn''t matter, doesn''t matter! I know that Younger Brother Yu is a favorite of Master. Master will definitely give you this face!" Gu Hong flattered Yu Ming vigorously.


    Yu Ming was naturally enjoying it too. In the past, he behaved like a grandson in front of Gu Hong. Now, the winds of fortune changed. It was Gu Hong''s turn to act like a grandson in front of him.


    This sense of accomplishment was absolutely refreshing!


    Yu Ming put away the two storage rings, turned around, and entered the manor.


    The moment his figure vanished, Gu Hong''s face darkened.


    "Humph! Blind reckless fool! To actually dare climb on top of my head! Dare to take your Grandpa Gu''s stuff, really tired of living! After the dust has settled this time, Grandpa Gu will not only make you spit out these things, I''ll even let you disappear from Ancient Opulence City entirely!" Gu Hong gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    . . . . . .


    "Hahaha! Satisfying! Really too satisfying! Brother Ye, Elder Brother, I, have always tucked my tail between my legs and behaved obediently in this Ancient Opulence City. Whoever I meet, I would bow and scrape. Today, benefiting from the association with Brother Ye, I can finally raise my head up high! Here, these are the things Gu Hong gave me to show ''filial piety.'' This time, he hemorrhaged greatly!"


    Once he entered the house, Yu Ming''s entire person felt like he was floating.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Those things are given to you by Gu Hong and also what he owes you. You just keep it for yourself. He wants to take my life. How can this bit of stuff let him clear the hurdle? What''s at the back is the real show!"


    Yu Ming was rather embarrassed as he said, "This . . . Elder Brother, I, still know my own limitations a little. Gu Hong giving me these were all on account of Brother Ye''s face. How can I take it for myself?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Let you take it, so just take it. What''s with all the nonsense? If you treat me as a brother, then put it away properly for me!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Yu Ming hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, alright, I''ll keep it then! However . . . I''ve seen through this Gu Hong thoroughly this time. This guy is two-faced, really not any good thing. The last time, he even sent that Song Pan to kill you! This time, he has no choice but to come and lower his head to us. But I feel that he will definitely harbor resentment in his heart."


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Gu Hong is only an unimportant person. He''s not worth my effort to go deal with him at all. If he stays quiet, he can still live. If he courts death himself, then I can''t be blamed."

 722 An Ear

    Gu Hong entered Ye Yuan''s manor rather fidgety.


    Honestly speaking, he still had a bit of confidence in his heart towards Yu Ming. But facing Ye Yuan, he had no confidence at all.


    Even though there was only a short confrontation once, Gu Hong''s impression of Ye Yuan was very deep.


    Because Ye Yuan said for Yu Ming to return the humiliation to him. Today, it really returned to him!


    At that time, he thought that Ye Yuan was giving himself a way out. But only now did Gu Hong know that he really had that strength and confidence!


    On that day, Ye Yuan did not argue from start to end, because he simply disdained to argue.


    Compared to arguing, Ye Yuan was smacking faces with actions!


    Entering the main hall, Ye Yuan sat on the seat of honor. By the side, Jun Tianyu and Liu Yiru were seated.


    Although he had long heard about it, Gu Hong was still unbelievably shocked in his heart.


    In the mere few days Ye Yuan ascended, he was actually already on equal footing with the Jun Tianyu who made people tremble with fear on hearing!


    "This lowly one, Gu Hong, pays respect to Lord Jun, Master Ye!" In front of Jun Tianyu, Gu Hong lowered his posture very low.


    Either way, coming here today, he was long prepared to be shameless already.


    But this first sentence of his poked a hole in the basket already.


    Only to see Jun Tianyu snort coldly and say, "Are the Gu Family''s servants all so ignorant in etiquette? This is Younger Brother Ye''s manor. You don''t pay respect to him first, but you pay respect to me for? Even if it''s not here, Younger Brother Ye is my wife''s savior. You doing so, isn''t it making me out to be faithless? En?"


    This cold snort directly made Gu Hong''s knees turn soft, kneeling down.


    "Lord Jun, forgive my mistake! This lowly one . . . lowly one has no intention of offending you!" Gu Hong even had the heart to die.


    Jun Tianyu''s accumulated awe in Ancient Opulence City was immensely great. So the first thing Gu Hong thought of was to pay respect to Lord Jun.


    Who knew that he poked the hornet''s nest all of a sudden!


    You''re an exalted Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse. How can you be ranked behind a Divine Traversing Realm boy?


    "Humph! If this wasn''t Younger Brother Ye''s manor, you''d already be a dead man now! This is Younger Brother Ye''s place, how to punish is naturally up to him, the owner, to decide!" Jun Tianyu said with a cold snort.


    When Gu Hong heard, all the hair on his body stood on its ends.


    This one in front of him never needed any reason to kill people before. As long as he felt that you deserved to die, you would really be dead!


    This point, there were already countless people who used their lives to prove it before; not necessary to go into details.


    "Master Ye, this lowly one deserves death! This lowly one deserves death! I beseech Master Ye to spare my life!"


    Gu Hong kowtowed frantically, nearly knocking out a large hole in the ground. He did not dare to use essence energy to protect his body at all. Very soon, a large bruise was knocked out on his head.


    "Brother Jun, Younger Brother has just moved into this manor. Can''t very well kill people right after coming in. It''s inauspicious!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Gu Hong was overjoyed when he heard and hurriedly said, "Many thanks for Master Ye''s grace of not killing! Many thanks for Lord Jun''s grace of not killing!"


    But Jun Tianyu said coolly, "Death penalty may be spared, but punishment is hard to pardon!"


    Finished talking, Jun Tianyu wielded his fingers as a sword. A streak of sword qi flew past Gu Hong''s ear with a swoosh.


    Gu Hong only felt coolness at his ear and did not even react to it.


    If that finger earlier slanted a wee bit more, his head would explode like a watermelon.


    But very soon, a piercing pain assaulted, striking the deepest parts of his heart!


    "Argh! My ear!"


    Gu Hong covered the ear with fresh blood flowing out, hurting until he rolled on the floor.


    "Make any more fuss, even if I give Younger Brother Ye face and don''t kill you here, it''s impossible for you to return to the Gu Family alive either!"


    Jun Tianyu''s words seemed to have come from the underworld. Even if Gu Hong was hurting until he was about to faint, he immediately ceased the howling too.


    Gu Hong covered his ear, in pain until he was trembling all over. But he did not dare to make even a sound. Sweat flowed down his forehead, pickling the wound by his ear, making it even more painful like pouring oil onto a fire.


    Jun Tianyu was obviously not this sort of narrow-minded people. He was deliberately finding fault.


    This Gu Hong was just an unimportant person to him. If he killed Gu Hong, then he killed. But if Ye Yuan thoroughly offended the Gu Family because of this, it would be terrible.


    The Tao Family''s destruction made these aristocratic families in the Ancient Opulence City be on guard too.


    These few years, the three great families all concentrated on development. Their strength had a very large increase.


    Although Jun Tianyu was not afraid, he had an agreement with City Lord back then, not to kill Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses as he pleased again!


    Unless he did not wish to stay on in the Ancient Opulence City anymore.


    The face of the three great families, Jun Tianyu would not give any thought. But City Lord''s face, Jun Tianyu still have to consider it.


    The city lord was appointed by a holy land. Even if he, Jun Tianyu, was any stronger, he could not possibly be stronger than a holy land too.


    Therefore, Jun Tianyu carrying out a slight punishment was solely getting a bit of interest for Ye Yuan.


    Either way, he only made a move to claim an ear. The Gu Family would not dare to do anything.


    Gu Hong sucked in cold breaths by the side as he said, "M-Master Ye''s anger is vented as well. C-Can you take action . . . and save . . . Eldest Miss?"


    Towards Gu Hong, Ye Yuan naturally did not have the slightest bit of pity.


    He already had killing intent towards him. Not killing him is already taking into account the Gu Family''s face.


    Towards the killing intent which fleeted across Gu Hong''s eyes, Ye Yuan chose to ignore.


    With Jun Tianyu around, forget about Gu Hong, even the entire Gu Family did not dare to touch him either!


    "Saving people is okay. But this time is different from taking on the mission. You know it; I already gave you a chance," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    When Gu Hong heard this sentence, a hint of regret flashed past in his heart too.


    If he had relented on that day and let Ye Yuan go look at Eldest Miss''s illness, he would definitely obtain Family Head''s commendation now and would also not lose an ear because of this.


    But his regret was replaced by hatred very quickly!


    Even if he did not dare to do anything to Ye Yuan, the people around Ye Yuan, he could touch!


    After this matter''s hype passes, I, Gu Hong, will definitely let you know that I''m not to be provoked!


    "It . . . It was all this lowly one''s fault! Whatever conditions . . . Master Ye has . . . feel free to say!"


    Even if he hated to the extreme in his heart, Gu Hong did not dare to have the least bit of dissatisfaction verbally. Instead, he still lowered his posture very low.


    "I want the Gu Family''s title deed for Ancient Opulence Street''s Luxuriant Fragrance Hall!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "What?! L-Luxuriant Fragrance Hall! Ouch!"


    The moment Gu Hong became agitated, it aggravated his wounds again, hurting until his face contorted in agony.


    "That''s right!"


    "M-Master Ye, this . . . this is also too . . . Can you . . . change the terms?"


    Gu Hong wanted to kill people badly. Ye Yuan this was also demanding a too exorbitant price!


    However, he had to endure! Otherwise, the one dead would be him!


    "No negotiations. Either agree to my terms, or you guys find someone else better!" Ye Yuan did not give face in the slightest.


    "This . . . lowly one cannot make the decision. Can you permit . . . this lowly one to go back and report to Family Head?" Gu Hong said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Can. Give me a reply by tomorrow noon. Or else, there won''t be any leeway to talk over."


    How could Gu Hong still dare to stay? Enduring the intense pain on his ear, he scrambled back to the Gu Family.


    After Gu Hong left, Jun Tianyu asked, "Younger Brother Ye, this condition of yours is out of my expectations! Could it be that Younger Brother Ye is planning on establishing a sect in this Ancient Opulence City?"

 723 Whats Not Proper?

    "Heh, the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall! Can a measly little Divine Traversing Realm boy prop up the massive Luxuriant Fragrance Hall?" Gu Changshun said with a cold laugh.


    "Family Head, this boy has no respect for our Gu Family at all by relying on Jun Tianyu''s backing!" Gu Hong said with a look of righteous indignation.


    Gu Changshun looked at Gu Hong with a smile that was not a smile, staring until he had a guilty conscience.


    "Oh, Gu Hong, looks like these few years, I''ve been too indulgent towards you!" Gu Changshun said rather emotionally.


    Gu Hong''s heart thumped, kneeling onto the ground with a thud as he said with a wail, "Gu Hong dare not! It''s really that . . . really that they bully others too far!"


    "Heh heh, bully others too far? It was probably you going too far in bullying others beforehand, right? Honestly speaking, you being able to come back alive makes me very surprised. Looks like Jun Tianyu is still rather wary of City Lord," Gu Changshun said.


    The more Gu Hong listened, the more it felt amiss. Could it be that those things he did behind Family Head''s back, he knew all of it?


    Once this thought popped up, Gu Hong sniveled even more as he said sobbingly, "Family Head, you have to stand up for Gu Hong! I went to invite Ye Yuan to take action, but he crippled my ear with any word! This . . . This is simply making light of you!"


    Gu Hong did not notice Gu Changshun''s expression gradually becoming cold.


    "Gu Hong, this is the last chance that I''m giving you!"


    Gu Hong trembled, his entire person instantly sobering up.


    He knew that nothing could be hidden any more from Family Head''s eyes!


    Gu Hong was an astute man. He knew that everything of his was all given by Gu Changshun!


    With this, he held nothing back, directly recounting all the things that happened these few days.


    Of course, what he said definitely had some discrepancies from the actual situation, but there was no way of verifying them.


    This sort of thing, Gu Hong had long attained perfection in it. Even Gu Changshun could not discern the slightest bit of inkling too.


    Such as that day he went to remove the mission, he ran into Ye Yuan and Yu Ming. The story was naturally Ye Yuan''s strength was measly but looked down on other people, looking even more like a swindler. Hence, that was why he did not let them enter.


    This point coupled with the condition Ye Yuan raised made people feel that it was the truth even more.


    Indeed, after Gu Changshun finished listening, the coldness from before diminished a lot, and he said coolly, "Lucky you''re honest. If you still dared to intentionally hide it, without the need for Jun Tianyu to take action, I''ll send you on your way too!"


    Gu Hong sweated profusely in his heart, feeling like he had toured one round around the gates of hell and back.


    But with his understanding of Gu Changshun, he should have cleared the hurdle this time!


    "Family Head, Gu Hong was muddle-headed for a moment, such that I led to a huge mistake. Family Head, please punish! It''s just that even though that Ye Yuan is formidable, this subordinate don''t believe that he''s even stronger than Lord Shuming, that''s why I would make a move against him!" Gu Hong resorted to sophistry.


    Gu Changshun nodded and said, "Honestly speaking, I also find it very hard to believe that a Divine Traversing Realm boy can be even stronger than He Shuming. It''s just that Qing-er''s illness really can''t afford to delay! If he wants the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall, give it to him then, as long as he can treat Qing-er''s illness!"


    . . . . . .


    The second day morning, Jun Tianyu and Ye Yuan came to the Gu Family.


    Gu Changshun personally welcomed them. By his side, tagging along was a sagely-looking elderly.


    After both parties had small talk, Gu Changshun said, "Master Ye, I''ll have to trouble you for my daughter''s illness!"


    "Taking people''s money to avert disaster for them, this is naturally part of this Ye''s duties," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He and the Gu Family would probably be very hard to become friends, so he was not polite either.


    Except, that elderly said with a cold smile, "Heh, age isn''t old, tone isn''t small! A baby whose hair hasn''t grown fully yet actually dares to proclaim to be a master. Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    This old man was clearly the He Shuming from Gu Changshun''s words.


    Ye Yuan was treating Gu Changshun''s daughter''s illness today. Some words, he was inconvenient to say out. Getting this He Shuming over here was in order to say those words inconvenient to say.


    Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance and said nonchalantly, "Firstly, being advanced in age shouldn''t be a bar to ambition. Treating illnesses and curing people, one has to look at true capability! Since Miss Gu''s illness isn''t cured, then your esteemed self naturally doesn''t have this capability! Secondly, the title master was all called out by others. I''ve never professed before! But I never felt that calling me as master is in any way inappropriate! Thirdly, who are you?"


    "You! You don''t even recognize this old man and actually dare to utter wild ravings here! Haven''t seen this sickness yet and you have an appearance like you can handle anything. Do you really think that you''re an Alchemy Emperor?" He Shuming was enraged by Ye Yuan until his beard billowed and he glared.


    "What a joke! Why do I have to know you? Also, even though I''m not an Alchemy Emperor, Miss Gu''s illness, I''m definitely able to treat it!" Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh.


    "Conceited and ignorant kid! Today, if you can''t treat Qing-er''s sickness, I''ll make you pay the price for your wild arrogance!" He Shuming was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, the Jun Tianyu who did not speak all along opened his mouth.


    "Looks like this Jun hasn''t taken action for too long. Ancient Opulence City already have some people who don''t remember this Jun''s existence!"


    Threatening!


    Stark-naked threatening!


    But Jun Tianyu had always been so domineering!


    Threatening an Alchemy Saint in front of the three great aristocratic families'' family heads, only Jun Tianyu could do that!


    Gu Changshun by the side suddenly had an impression. Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu, these two people mingling together were simply a perfect match!


    These two people considered everyone beneath their notice exactly the same, showing striking resemblance of arrogance!


    He Shuming could not help freezing when he heard that. That imposing momentum earlier immediately vanished like mist and smoke.


    He lost his head from anger due to Ye Yuan earlier and really forgot that Jun Tianyu was right beside for a moment.


    Jun Tianyu followed right by Ye Yuan''s side today constantly, rather like his follower; it was very easy to make people overlook his existence.


    "Haha, everyone says fewer words. Master Ye, Brother Jun and Brother He are both this Gu''s honored guests. Harmony is precious, harmony is precious!" Gu Changshun saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly came out to smooth things over.


    "Humph!" He Shuming gave a cold snort and turned his head over, no longer speaking.


    "Family Head Gu, I think we better not waste time anymore. Let''s head straight for your daughter there," Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan''s impression towards the Gu Family was not good and was disinclined to waste time here as well.


    "That''s for the best!" Gu Changshun said.


    The group of people entered the Gu Family''s inner-chambers and circled one big detour. Gu Changshun actually led Ye Yuan inside a dungeon.


    This made Ye Yuan very surprised. Because he got to know from Yu Ming there that this daughter of Gu Changshun''s was the sole remaining bloodline left from his first wife. Gu Changshun normally doted on her very much.


    Gu Changshun even took out the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall without any hesitation in order to save her. His doting on her could be seen at a glance.


    But why did Gu Changshun actually lock her up in such a dungeon which did not see the light of day?


    The further in they walked, the more unbelievably cold it got.


    When they walked to the depths, Ye Yuan saw an ice bed. On the ice bed lay a woman wearing a sky-blue attire.


    But that woman''s hands and legs were actually bounded by metal chains!


    "This is my daughter, Gu Qing! Since three years ago, she became mentally deranged, killing people on sight. Having no choice, I could only bind up her hands and legs," Gu Changshun explained.

 724 Essence Silk Thread Pulse Reading

    "Kill! You''re all demons! I''m going to kill you!"


    When Gu Qing discovered that people came, she immediately became incomparably violent, using all of her strength wanting to shake off the constraints of the metal chains.


    Seeing this kind of situation, Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together slightly too.


    "Boy, I''ve already prepared the Dream Soul Incense for you. Are you doing it yourself?"


    As he said, He Shuming threw Ye Yuan a short incense.


    But Ye Yuan did not reach his hand out to catch, allowing that short incense to fall onto the ground.


    Dream Soul Incense was a type of aromatic which could make people enter sleep. It had the function of pacifying the soul and spirit. Gu Qing''s ailment was hard for alchemists to take her pulse. This Dream Soul Incense naturally came in handy.


    Seeing Ye Yuan like this, He Shuming was enraged. "Punk, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Miss Gu''s illness is currently in a state of outbreak illness at this time. Many things related to the illness will naturally be exposed during this time as well. You use the Dream Soul Incense to make her fall asleep, what if you misdiagnose because of this? Don''t even have this bit of elementary knowledge, I really don''t know how you, this Alchemy Saint, came about!"


    He Shuming could not help choking up when he heard that. This punk was actually doubting his Alchemy Saint strength!


    But every word of Ye Yuan''s was reasonable. He was actually unable to refute.


    Even the Gu Changshun and Jun Tianyu by the side who did not understand also nodded their heads secretly when they heard. Very clearly, this argument was strong.


    Gu Changshun could not resist darting a glance at He Shuming. When he diagnosed Gu Qing, didn''t he use the Dream Soul Incense to put Gu Qing to sleep?


    "Utterly ignorant! Not using Dream Soul Incense, I want to see how you take the pulse!" He Shuming said with a cold smile.


    Sensing Gu Changshun''s gaze, He Shuming''s face was burning too. But not putting Gu Qing to sleep, how to take the pulse?


    "Then you open your eyes wide and look properly!"


    Ye Yuan went forward a few steps and approached closer to Gu Qing a little more. Then, he extended his index finger. A trace of pale-yellow silk thread flowed out from his index finger.


    This fine thread was actually condensed and formed with essence energy!


    Seeing this scene, He Shuming''s expression could not help changing drastically as he let his tongue slip and said "Essence silk thread pulse reading!"


    Gu Changshun did not know what was called essence silk thread pulse reading. But he could also tell from He Shuming''s expression that this move of Ye Yuan''s seemed to be very formidable, and he could not help feeling more hopeful.


    This Gu Qing was born from him and his first wife. The two people were deeply in love. But his wife left this world not long after Gu Qing was born.


    Furthermore, Gu Qing looked virtually identical to his first wife. Therefore, Gu Changshun also showered her with favors all along.


    Who could have thought that Gu Qing would actually get such a strange illness? Even He Shuming taking action could not find the cause of the illness too.


    If even Gu Qing left him too, Gu Changshun would really have a breakdown.


    Hence, he did not scruple in agreeing to Ye Yuan, using the Luxuriant Fragrance Hall as the diagnosis fee to treat Gu Qing.


    And at this time, the silk thread spat out from Ye Yuan already gradually crept over onto Gu Qing''s arm, then reached into the meridians from her arm.


    Seeing this scene, Gu Changshun''s face slightly revealed an astonished look too.


    Even though he did not know what was called essence silk thread pulse reading, this move of Ye Yuan''s was sufficient to indicate that he was extraordinary.


    Martial artists spitting out essence energy was mostly for the sake of pursuing greater destructive power. The control towards essence energy belonged to the crude style.


    But this move of Ye Yuan''s required extremely fine control over essence energy.


    This point, even he, as a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist, could not accomplish it too!


    This kind of skill, without going through repeated tempering, it was simply impossible to master.


    As for He Shuming, the astonishment in his heart was even more intense compared to Gu Chagnshun.


    Gu Changshun did not know, but He Shuming was an Alchemy Saint powerhouse!


    The Ancient Opulence City''s only Alchemy Saint powerhouse!


    This essence silk thread reading pulse was an extremely profound pulse reading skill. It had a close to perverse requirement towards control of essence energy and soul force.


    He Shuming had also attempted to train this skill before. But in the end, he still gave up because it was too hard.


    Essence silk thread pulse reading was not just condensing essence energy into a fine thread and inserting into a martial artist''s body that simple. If that were the case, he could also do it.


    The hardest part about essence silk thread pulse reading was the probing inside the martial artist''s body after entering the martial artist''s meridians!


    The control of essence energy in this could not have the slightest deviation. Otherwise, it would fall short of success and even damage the martial artist''s body.


    This was still He Shuming''s first time seeing essence silk thread pulse reading on an Alchemy Sovereign Realm coming from a junior''s body!


    As far as he knew, those able to master this skill were all powerhouses above Alchemy Saint!


    This boy was definitely putting on an act. He did not have any way to probe Gu Qing''s meridians at all.


    Yes, it must be like this!


    Before long, Ye Yuan withdraw his essence energy. That thread of essence energy dissipated immediately.


    Gu Changshun inquired with a hopeful look, "Master Ye, how is my daughter''s illness?"


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "A little troublesome!"


    He Shuming perked up the moment he heard and immediately laughed coldly as he said, "Heh, can''t diagnose means can''t diagnose! Pretending for what! Like I said, how can essence silk thread pulse reading be so easy to master? Almost got hoodwinked by you, this punk!"


    Gu Changshun''s face fell following that too. The atmosphere became rather odd for a moment.


    But Ye Yuan had a calm look as he said, "Is that so . . . The troublesome I said was not because I have no way, but because I wonder which moron tied Miss Gu onto this ice bed! That fool completely doesn''t have a clue about Miss Gu''s illness and assumed that this ten-thousand year profound ice bed could suppress the mental demon. In the end, not only did it not have any effect, it worsened the illness instead! Eh? What are you glaring so angrily for? I wasn''t talking about you."


    The more Ye Yuan talked, the blacker He Shuming''s face became.


    Ye Yuan''s ability to scold the locust while pointing at the mulberry was truly at the acme of perfection!


    Who else could this fool be other than him, He Shuming?


    "Boy, I admit that your verbal skills are impressive! Since you say that the ten-thousand year profound ice bed is useless, then say what''s up with Qing-er!" He Shuming said with a black face.


    Ye Yuan said in amazement, "Eh? It''s really you? Could it be that you, this Alchemy Saint, was bought with earth essence crystals? Alchemy Saint treating people''s illnesses, not knowing but pretending to know is a great taboo. You don''t even know this point? You didn''t even figure out her sickness and dared to make the Gu Family tie her onto the ten-thousand year profound ice bed. I''m really in awe of your courage! Are you trying to save people or harm people?"


    He Shuming was almost about to explode from anger. If He Shuming wasn''t present, even if Ye Yuan really had the ability to save Gu Qing, he would also smack Ye Yuan to death with one palm!


    Without any suspense, Gu Changshun gave him a glance with a profound meaning again.


    "Boy, if you want to be rampant, wait until you ascertain Qing-er''s illness before you be rampant. You keep on refusing to say, diverting Family Head Gu''s attention, it should be that you didn''t find out the cause of the illness, right?" He Shuming said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Honestly, I feel that your reputation, this Alchemy Saint, are too exaggerated. You don''t even know some basic knowledge of alchemists! When other alchemists are attending to patients, shouldn''t you back away a little? I''m not saying naturally because I''m afraid that you''d secretly learn! But with your intellect, even if you secretly learn, you probably can''t reach genuine Alchemy Saint standards either! Forget it, if you want to secretly learn, that''s up to you as well! I''m here to tell you that the real cause of Miss Gu''s illness is . . . no cause of illness!"

    "No cause of illness? Are you messing with me?"


    With this, Gu Changshun''s face could not refrain from turning black too.


    Gu Qing with this half-dead appearance, and Ye Yuan actually said that there was no cause of illness. Simply the biggest joke in the world!


    "Haha! I already said that this boy is deliberately trying to act mystical, right? He doesn''t know essence silk thread pulse reading at all and even pretended in front of us. Truly ignorant!"

    He Shuming really wanted to defame Ye Yuan a couple of sentences, but he swallowed his words back down when it reached the tip of his tongue.

 730 Discount Promotion

    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was the Ancient Opulence City''s largest trading company and also occupied the most profitable districts in the Ancient Opulence Street. It just happened to be facing the new Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opposite the street.


    Now that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was about to open for business anew, many people naturally adopted a wait-and-see attitude as well, having a look if this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could cause any impact to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company or not.


    Different from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s business scope was rather extensive.


    Whatever martial artists required, they virtually dabbled in all of it.


    But to talk about what was the most profitable, it was undoubtedly still medicinal pills. No reason other than medicinal pills were one-off consumable goods. It was indispensable to martial artists.


    Regardless of where martial artists walked to, they could not be missing medicinal pills on them.


    If two martial artist''s strength did not have a big difference, when fighting to the end, a lot of times, what they fought out with were actually medicinal pills!


    Alchemists'' statuses were lofty. This was also a very important reason for it.


    With the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opening for business, as the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s chairman, Zuo Xin obviously would not be that at ease.


    He got the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s head alchemist, also the Ancient Opulence City''s one and only Alchemy Saint powerhouse, He Shuming, to come over and discuss countermeasures.


    "Alchemy Saint He, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opposite is going to open for business tomorrow. They already let out news that there are several types of medicinal pills about to appear on the market. Could it . . ." Zuo Xin said rather worriedly.


    If it were before, Zuo Xin absolutely would not be worried about a Divine Traversing Realm boy.


    But now, even He Shuming became Ye Yuan''s defeated opponent. He had no choice but to place emphasis on it.


    Hearing Zuo Xin''s words, He Shuming was also annoyed inwardly. But he still said coolly, "Rest assured, Chairman. Ye Yuan this brat is at the very most just a measly little Alchemy Sovereign. How big a wave can he stir up? Even if his medical skills are overwhelming, it''s futile if he can''t find Tier 6 medicinal pills too! I want to see just how he will use Tier 5 medicinal pills to gain a firm foothold in this Ancient Opulence City!"


    Actually, Zuo Xin thought this way in his heart too. But he was really quite uncertain on what move to make. Was Ye Yuan really a young calf who did not fear the tiger, or was he simply a fool?


    Picking up the gauntlet opposite of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, where did his confidence come from?


    As the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s helmsman, Zuo Xin was naturally aware of Ye Yuan''s stunning performance in the city recently.


    But he also knew that those people Ye Yuan cured, Tier 6 medicinal pills were not used at all!


    This also indicated that Ye Yuan could not refine Tier 6 medicinal pills.


    One had to know that the greatest consumer group in the Ancient Opulence City were Boundless Realm martial artists. Below Boundless Realms were mostly impoverished people. Even though this group was extremely massive, those who truly had consumer power were not many.


    "I wonder if Alchemy Saint He has any countermeasure?" Zuo Xin inquired.


    He Shuming said with a cold smile, "Rest assured, Chairman. I''ve already arranged a grand show! I want to take a look at what mood this brat would have when this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion goes out of business on the first day it opens for business."


    Hearing He Shuming said so, Zuo Xin set his mind at ease too. But he asked curiously, "Grand show? What kind of grand show?"


    "Heh heh, you''ll naturally know at that time! However, our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company has to take some action too. I want to make Ye Yuan this brat unable to survive even a day in the Ancient Opulence City!" He Shuming said coldly.


    Although the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was helmed by Zuo Xin, He Shuming''s status was extraordinary.


    It was also exactly because they had He Shuming that the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company could overpower the masses, sitting firmly on the throne of number one all along.


    Zuo Xin nodded his head when he heard that and said, "That''s of course! I''ve already made the arrangements. Starting from tomorrow, all of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Tier 5 medicinal pills will be sold at 20% discount. If the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion has Tier 6 medicinal pills, our Tier 6 medicinal pills will also be sold at a discount."


    "Heh heh, Chairman is indeed experienced and vicious! Giving out an offer of 20% in one go. We can crush them completely in terms of price. He, a newbie, I don''t believe that he can afford a war of attrition with us! Most likely, they would have to wind up shop in a few days." He Shuming laughed delightedly.


    "Huhu, no idea what kind of price the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion paid either, to actually be able to make the Meteor Trading Company back them up from behind. But I think that the price they paid is definitely not small. But that Ye Yuan is indeed a clever person. If finding a backer in the Ancient Opulence City with their strength, the Meteor Trading Company is indeed the most apt," Zuo Xin said.


    Hearing that He Shuming also prepared a big move, the anxiety in Zuo Xin''s heart also went away.


    With both simultaneously, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was bound to not operate for long.


    "That brat has nothing at all apart from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s title deed! Other than this title deed, what else can he take out?" He Shuming said.


    Zuo Xin nodded his head in agreement too. He thought so as well.


    . . . . . .


    The next day early morning, the Ancient Opulence Street''s Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opened for business.


    For the sake of the grand opening this time, the Meteor Trading Company also put down an arm and a leg.


    They revamped the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s decorations to a brand new look. Just looking at this shop front, it was absolutely not inferior to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company opposite!


    Once the surrounding martial artists saw this stance, this was completely taking up the challenge with the opposite!


    But when these martial artists saw this sort of situation, they were secretly gleeful in their hearts too.


    With two major trading companies challenging each other, it could not dispense with some price war. The medicinal pills which they originally did not dare to sell could be sold this time.


    Although they did not feel that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could sustain for long, in this period of time, it was the most economical time for them as ordinary martial artists.


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s side had yet to officially open for business when the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s manager already opened up its front doors and yelled at the top of his voice, "Everybody, my Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company has always received everyone''s great kindness. So we decided to give back to our friends. Starting from today, for one month, all of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Tier 5 and below medicinal pills will be sold at 20% discount without exception!"


    "20%! I didn''t hear wrongly, right? Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company really poured in blood capital this time!"


    "Yeah. The quality of Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s goods is very good. But the prices are all very pricey too. Moreover, it always remained high and never went down. This time, in order to squeeze this newly opened Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, they are actually selling at 20% discount for a month straight!"


    "Haha, even though we don''t hold much hope for this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, we still have to thank them! Did you guys hear that or not? This Fragrant Medicine Pavilion doesn''t even have one Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse. They can only sell medicinal pills below Tier 6."


    "En, I''ve heard too. This kind of strength, how could they dare to challenge Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company? The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company has Alchemy Saint He holding down the fort!"


    "Who cares. Either way, it''s good that we buy medicinal pills cheap!"


    The manager''s words caused a huge uproar among the martial artists.


    Very soon, the martial artists originally planning on crowding around and watching the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s grand opening all ran inside the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company one after another.


    For some time, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was thronged with visitors inside, like a market, while the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s side appeared quite deserted.


    But there were still some martial artists who remained here still. These martial artists were mostly low on funds. Even if the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company were selling at a discount, they had the heart but were lacking in strength regarding those medicinal pills too.


    Hence, they wanted to try their luck at the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion here, to see if they could pick out some good stuff at a low price.


    After all, a low-grade medicinal store that only sold Tier 5 medicinal pills, the price presumably should not be very high, right?

 731 Challenging the Dojo

    "Lord Chairman is really brilliant! With the prices of these medicinal pills being lowered, it attracts even more people to come and buy these Tier 5 medicinal pills! At this rate, our sales are probably going to be several dozen percents more than before!"


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s manager was filled with admiration towards Zuo Xin in his heart when he saw the throngs of people.


    Zuo Xin smiled and said, "Lowering prices normally, that is lowering your status yourself. But once opponents appear, us lowering prices happens without extra effort. Speaking of which, we still have to thank this Ye Yuan. But this sort of method can only be used for a short while. It will be detrimental without benefits over a long time."


    "Your Excellency is wise!"


    "Huhu, don''t need to curry favor! We''ve already made our move on our side. The next step will be up to Alchemy Saint He," Zuo Xin said smilingly


    Zuo Xin was aware of He Shuming''s displeasure towards Ye Yuan. Therefore, he would definitely make Ye Yuan unable to bear the consequences of failure today.


    This set of combination blows landing, he did not believe that a brat still wet behind his ears could withstand it!


    At their store, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s manager said with an indignant face, "This Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company is seriously too shameless! This is our first day opening for business, and they used this kind of measures. Too insidious!"


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s manager was that elderly man Ye Yuan saw on that day when he went to Meteor Trading Company.


    The elderly man''s name was Li Huisheng; he was a manager with a very long record of service and credentials in the Meteor Trading Company.


    Ye Yuan''s manpower was seriously limited for such a big Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. But Qian-er attached very high importance to this collaboration, practically pouring in the entire Meteor Trading Company''s strength into the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan did not refuse.


    This sort of thing like management was actually not what he was good at.


    A master specialized in his own field. Ye Yuan did not like to stick his nose into other fields for everything.


    Li Huisheng was indeed very experienced in this area. The Meteor Trading Company running badly was not because the management was bad.


    Of course, such a large Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, Ye Yuan could not possibly let the Meteor Trading Company occupy a nest which wasn''t theirs.


    He arranged for Yu Ming to be an assistant of Li Huisheng. It was learning in-name, but actually, there was also the intent of monitoring the management.


    Yu Ming never would have dreamed that he would be able to manage such a large medicinal store one day.


    As long as Ye Yuan was able to gain a firm foothold on this Ancient Opulence Street, Yu Ming could be said to soar to the skies in one bound, enjoying all manners of wealth and glory.


    Being around Li Huisheng, he did not need to be responsible to Li Huisheng. He was only responsible to Ye Yuan!


    Regarding this, Yu Ming''s feelings of gratitude towards Ye Yuan already could not be expressed using words.


    The investment in Ye Yuan back then was simply too worth it.


    Ye Yuan''s manpower was lacking. He even took in Yu Ming''s brother, Cheng Jiang, too.


    The two people quit their ascension pool guarding duty and wholeheartedly stayed here at Ye Yuan''s side.


    If it were others, wanting to break away from the city guards army was naturally not that easy. But after Ye Yuan let Luo Fang know, this was merely a piece of cake.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan even helped Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan got two identity tokens. This way, they could openly appear in front of people.


    Back then when they ascended, Ye Yuan was afraid of incurring trouble and kept Lu-er and the rest into the Vast Heaven Pagoda at the final juncture.


    Now, Ye Yuan was considered to have gained a firm foothold in the Ancient Opulence City. Getting two identity tokens was naturally nothing hard.


    With this, the manpower on Ye Yuan''s side was just enough.


    Through a period of training, Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong both broke through to the Alchemy King Realm.


    Under Ye Yuan''s guidance, their strengths were far greater compared to ordinary Alchemy Kings.


    Letting them refine Tier 4 medicinal pills was achievable.


    The group of people bustled about but they were very resentful toward the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s actions.


    "Zuo Xin that old fellow is shrewd and planning something bad. Mister Ye is challenging them right opposite of their store. It''s impossible for them to allow us to grow unchecked. Using this sort of despicable means is also within reason. When our Meteor Trading Company had just arrived at the Ancient Opulence City, we wanted to get a foothold on Ancient Opulence Street too. Weren''t we also squelched by them until we could only go to another place? If it wasn''t like this, how could we possibly not be able to open up the situation all the way until now?" Qian-er said.


    Very clearly, even Qian-er also acknowledged that this Zuo Xin was very formidable.


    To be able to develop the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to this sort of degree, Zuo Xin contributed tremendously.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Don''t need to complain anymore. If they don''t take some measures, it would be weird instead. Selling on discount this sort of means is not considered much either. I think the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company likely still has other cards to play!"


    Qian-er was alarmed when she heard that and said, "Still have other measures? This . . . What kind of measure would it be?"


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak, when he looked over outside the door and said with a smile, "Isn''t it here now?"


    The group looked over towards the entrance and saw seven to eight people flood inside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion all at once.


    These seven to eight people were all wearing alchemist attires. The six stars on their chest were very dazzling.


    And one of them even had seven stars on his badge. Who could it be but He Shuming?


    These seven to eight people, the ones with the lowest strength were middle-rank Alchemy Ancestors too!


    "Hiss . . . Ancient Opulence City only has a total of around 10 Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses. Seven came all at once. Alchemy Saint He is truly skillful! Ye Yuan, I said to transfer our Meteor Trading Company''s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses over, but you just refused! Now, we are going to suffer a huge loss, right?" Qian-er gnashed her teeth in hatred and said.


    The Meteor Trading Company naturally had Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses too. Moreover, it was even a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor.


    The collaboration this plan, Qian-er planned to let him come and hold down the fort at Fragrant Medicine Pavilion but was rejected by Ye Yuan firmly.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Just a few Alchemy Ancestors. Doesn''t count as anything."


    "Just a few . . . Alchemy Ancestors?"


    Qian-er was speechless. You yourself are only at Alchemy Sovereign Realm, alright?


    Moreover, this Alchemy Sovereign was even an Alchemy Sovereign without an alchemist badge!


    They could not refine Tier 6 medicinal pills, so they were destined to be crushed by these Alchemy Ancestors, let alone that there was still that Alchemy Saint He glaring at them like a ravening tiger.


    "Ye Yuan, this old man heard that your new shop opened for business and specially invited a few people in the same line over to pay tribute. What? We are not welcomed?"


    He Shuming greeted Ye Yuan with a big smile from far away, rather like old friends.


    It was just that even a moron also knew that He Shuming was a weasel paying respects to the hen, with no good intentions!


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was at the opposite Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Alchemy Saint. How could he possibly be here to support the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion?


    Challenging the dojo was more like it!


    The martial artists surrounding and watching outside became spirited at once. The did not expect that this was just the first day opening for business and both parties already had swords drawn and bows stretched!


    Alchemy Saint He made a move personally. There was a good show to watch now.


    This Fragrant Medicine Pavilion wouldn''t close down on the first day it opened for business, right?


    Ye Yuan went forward to welcome with a smile too, saying in a clear voice, "If there are friends coming to congratulate, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is naturally most welcoming. But if there are mad dogs coming to bark crazily, we''ll naturally serve with dog-beating sticks. Alchemy Saint He, I wonder which type are you?"


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company had long witnessed Ye Yuan''s sharp tongue before and had sufficient mental preparations this time. He laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "These few people in the same line heard that a medicinal store strong enough to rival the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company opened on Ancient Opulence Street. There must be an Alchemy Path master with astonishing strength holding down the fort! We came today wanting to bear witness to this Alchemy Path master''s strength. Ye Yuan, I wonder where this Alchemy Path master is?"

 732 Gallant Promise

    Seeing this sort of provocative action, Jun Tianyu''s brows knitted together slightly.


    Towards this He Shuming, he did not have much of a favorable impression.


    For the sake of Liu Yiru''s illness, Jun Tianyu had once dropped in to visit He Shuming before. But because He Shuming cherished his feathers, he was not willing to take action.


    He Shuming was afraid that he could not cure it, so he did not dare to take action.


    The last time Ye Yuan went to treat Gu Qing, He Shuming''s attitude made Jun Tianyu dislike him even more.


    Who knew that this guy actually came to provoke again today, finally infuriating him.


    "He Shuming, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is opening for business today. Are you making light of this Jun like this?"


    Jun Tianyu gave a cold snort. A powerful sword intent released involuntarily.


    He Shuming''s expression changed slightly, but he did his best to keep a calm exterior and said, "Brother Jun saying this, it can be seen that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion doesn''t have confidence! Brother Jun can send me packing today. But after today, I''ll see if there is anyone who dares to come to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to buy things!"


    Jun Tianyu''s brows furrowed when he heard that, but he could not very well make a move.


    He knew that the doubts about the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion outside now were considerable. If they avoided and did not fight today, it would probably really be like He Shuming said; no one would come and buy their things.


    Opening and doing business, what it stressed was harmony breeds wealth. Even if Jun Tianyu''s martial strength was any greater, he was also not able to convince others from the heart.


    Even though he clearly knew that He Shuming did not have good intentions, his Alchemy Saint title was right there. It was fine if they fought, but the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation would be utterly fouled.


    The panic in He Shuming''s heart vanished when he saw the situation and said with a smile, "We came today purely to communicate and exchange notes among alchemists. Why must Brother Jun be so hot-tempered?"


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly voiced out, "What kind of a communication style does Alchemy Saint He want? Just state it out clearly will do."


    He Shuming was secretly pleased when he saw Ye Yuan accepting the challenge. But he feigned surprise on his face and exclaimed, "En? Could it be that that expert in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is Ye Yuan yourself? This �� Could it be that such a large Fragrant Medicine Pavilion of yours doesn''t even have an Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse holding down the fort? This is also too shabby, right?"


    With this, the surrounding martial artists could not help discussing softly.


    "What? I even thought that the rumor was false. Opening such a large medicinal store in the most bustling place on Ancient Opulence Street, how can there possibly be not even one Alchemy Ancestor? Looking at it now, it was actually true!"


    "A medicinal store without even a single Alchemy Ancestor, can the medicinal pills sold be eaten?"


    "This �� I really have no idea where Ye Yuan''s confidence comes from, to actually dare open a medicinal store with this kind of strength. We''d better go to the opposite Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to buy medicinal pills."


    Although the rumors said that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion did not even have an alchemy ancestor, everyone actually did not really believe it.


    To dare challenge the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, one at least had to have a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor holding down the fort too, right?


    Messing around for half a day, and there was only one Alchemy Sovereign? Even if this Alchemy Sovereign was any more abnormal, what use was there?


    Qian-er wished to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. The skeleton in their closet was exposed with this. She felt that her face was thrown all the way back to her grandma''s place.


    Even for those medicinal pills which could not be refined, employing their Meteor Trading Company''s Alchemy Ancestors to put on a facade was good too.


    Now, things were great. How could an Alchemy Sovereign convince the public?


    Ye Yuan smiled very calmly and said, "There is naturally an alchemy ancestor. But due to various reasons, he is unable to make it today. Everyone, what my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion trade are Tier 5 medicinal pills. But we likewise accept Tier 6 medicinal pill transactions. However, Tier 6 medicinal pills must be booked in advance, and the spirit medicines are provided by yourselves. Everyone rest assured. The Tier 6 medicinal pills produced by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion are absolutely better than any other stores in the Ancient Opulence City!"


    "Heh heh, what high-sounding sentiments! Before bragging, you don''t gauge your strength either. Aren''t these words uttered from the mouth of a puny little Alchemy Sovereign the biggest joke in the world?" An Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse laughed coldly when he heard that.


    This was a high-rank Alchemy Ancestor named Su Qide. His strength was only second to He Shuming among this group of Alchemy Ancestors; he was not to be underestimated.


    Ye Yuan fished out several medicinal pills. These medicinal pills were shockingly all Tier 6 medicinal pills!


    "Although our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse is unable to make it here, he left behind several Tier 6 medicinal pills. The few of you all claim to be Alchemy Ancestors. I wonder how many are able to refine this standard of Tier 6 medicinal pills?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Tier 6 transcendent-grade! Hiss ��"


    Once the medicinal pills appeared, He Shuming and the others, their expressions all changed.


    The few medicinal pills in Ye Yuan''s hands were actually all Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills without exception!


    Even though these people were Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses, to want to refine Tier 6 transcendent-grade, it was still a little forceful.


    Even He Shuming this Alchemy Saint had to depend on luck to refine Tier 6 transcendent-grade too.


    The number of Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills in the entire Ancient Opulence City was probably also just as many as in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    It could be imagined how precious these Tier 6 transcendent-grades in Ye Yuan''s hand were!


    How on earth did this brat find so many transcendent-grade medicinal pills?


    "Heh heh, looks like the Meteor Trading Company specially transferred over quite a number of transcendent-grade medicinal pills from other places for the sake of this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion! Can a mere few transcendent-grade medicinal pills intimidate us?" He Shuming was the first to react and said with a cold smile.


    In his view, Ye Yuan''s Tier 6 transcendent-grades could only be transferred over from other places by the Meteor Trading Company.


    Otherwise, who else was able to refine so many Tier 6 transcendent-grade medicinal pills in this Ancient Opulence City?


    But Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Is that so? I can promise everybody here that custom-ordering Tier 6 medicinal pills from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, prepare three sets of spirit medicines yourself. The worst of the medicinal pills turned over to everyone will also be Tier 6 high-grade!"


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    This sort of promise was seriously too domineering!


    Even the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company did not dare to easily make this kind of promise either!


    Alchemy Ancestors refining Tier 6 medicinal pills, if it was not those common medicinal pills, there was a very high likelihood of ruining the medicinal pills.


    Just three sets of spirit medicines were able to guarantee at least Tier 6 high-grade. This kind of promise was seriously too confident!


    He Shuming''s face was black as the bottom of a bot. If the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion really had this kind of ability, who would still go to their Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to buy medicinal pills in the future?


    "Ye Yuan, aren''t you bragging too hard here? Be careful of giving yourself a slap when you can''t do it when the time comes!" He Shuming sneered as he said with a black face.


    "Alchemy Saint He really likes to worry! Whether I''m able to do it or not, time will naturally prove everything. Today, I sent the word out. Everyone present all can bear witness. If my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion can''t do it, we''ll compensate 100 times of the spirit medicines'' value!" Ye Yuan said gallantly.


    Murmur ��


    Ye Yuan''s words ignited the surrounding martial artists all at once!


    The prices of Tier 6 spirit medicines were not cheap to begin with. If compensating according to 100 times, once or twice was still fine. If the number of times goes up, even a colossal giant like the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company probably would not be able to afford it either!


    This promise of Ye Yuan''s was too extreme. Either the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion collapses directly, or the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion soar to the sky in one move.


    If Ye Yuan could really do it, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would likely be pushed down too.


    He Shuming himself was no longer calm as well. He could not quite grasp whether Ye Yuan really had this confidence, or was he making an empty show of strength ��

 733 Compete with My Disciples

    "I want to pre-order one Tier 6 Dragon Tiger Pill!"


    "I want to pre-order one Spirit Heart Sacred Rain Pill!"


    "I want to pre-order ��"


    Even Boundless Realm martial artists were no longer able to remain calm when they saw so many transcendent-grade medicinal pills.


    Transcendent-grade medicinal pills, what did this signify?


    This was a guarantee!


    A guarantee that this medicinal pill was able to reach the limits of the medicinal efficacy!


    In front of transcendent-grade medicinal pills, no one was able to maintain composure.


    For a moment, the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion fell into chaos. Up here, down there, were all Boundless Realm martial artists wanting to pre-order Tier 6 medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, "Everyone, don''t be hasty! Otherwise, we totally won''t accept your request! Those with the intention, head over there to line up and register. The first batch is only accepting pre-orders from 100 customers. Bring the spirit medicines and pill formula to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion within three days. Half a month later, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will deliver this batch of medicinal pills together, and we will accept orders for the second batch of people at that time! Everybody rest assured; earlier, I said that the lowest is high-grade medicinal pills. Actually, the majority should be all superior-grades, even possibly transcendent-grades. As for high-grade, it should be lesser. If we''re really only able to refine out high-grade medicinal pills, everyone, please don''t mind."


    Once these words were said, those Boundless Realm martial artists clamored one after another in a mad rush to be first and lined up over at one side.


    Ye Yuan''s words made each and every one of them even more incredibly thrilled!


    The likelihood of high-grade was very low, with the majority being superior-grade, even possibly transcendent-grade!


    This kind of promise was sufficient to make all the martial artists crazed!


    When He Shuming saw this scene, his face instantly became black as the bottom of a pot.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re boasting so much, I really want to see how you wind it up! If you can''t hand over the medicinal pills half a month later, I''ll see what face you still have to have a foothold on Ancient Opulence Street!"


    In He Shuming''s view, Ye Yuan was completely smacking his own face in order to look imposing!


    These Alchemy Ancestors present were all extremely formidable figures. But there had never been anyone who dared to make this sort of promise before either.


    A puny little Alchemy Sovereign was actually rampant to such an extent.


    This kind of promise was simply smacking the faces of these Alchemy Ancestors.


    One had to know that medicinal pills being superior-grade and above all basically had to depend on luck. Especially transcendent-grade medicinal pills, the probability of emerging was already infinitely close to zero.


    But Ye Yuan said that the likelihood of high-grade was very low, while the majority were all superior-grade medicinal pills.


    Where did this kind of promise place them, these Alchemy Ancestors?


    "Heh, to dare make this sort of promise, looks like the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion really has a capable person aiding it! I wonder if Owner Ye can invite him out or not to let everyone broaden our knowledge?" Su Qide seriously could not put up with it and voiced out.


    Ye Yuan said, "I already said that he isn''t around today. Aren''t you putting people on the spot here? Besides, how can an alchemist who is able to casually refine superior-grade medicinal pills be what trash like you guys can meet whenever you want?"


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s words became incomparably incisive, directly making this group of Alchemy Ancestors out to be trash!


    "You! Arrogant! Truly too arrogant! A measly little Alchemy Sovereign actually dares to make impertinent remarks to Alchemy Ancestors! If we, these Alchemy Ancestors, are trash, then what are you? Could it be that cultivating until today, you don''t even know rudimentary pecking order?"


    Su Qide was the first to react to it and was directly choked badly by Ye Yuan.


    Alchemist rankings were extremely strict. When low-level alchemists saw high-level alchemists, for them to act with a pupil''s mannerism was also very commonly seen.


    Alchemist was an occupation completely reliant on accumulation, experience, and accruing of knowledge. All these required time to bring to success.


    For alchemists to want to jump realms and defeat their opponents, it was much, much harder than martial artists.


    So under normal circumstances, even at the same realm, between initial-rank, middle-rank, and high-rank, there was an extremely large gap too.


    A heaven-defying existence like Ye Yuan was absolutely in the minority.


    Of course, if an alchemist could acknowledge an Alchemy Emperor at the level of Ye Yuan as master, their starting point was naturally much higher compared to these ordinary alchemists. Only then, was there the possibility of crossing realms to battle.


    Ye Yuan said haughtily, "I only respect the strong. Your strength is too weak. In my eyes, it''s total trash. Why do I have to respect you all? Moreover, you all are clearly here to challenge the dojo. Still want to talk about pecking order with me. Don''t you find it laughable?"


    "Good, good, good!" Ye Yuan''s words thoroughly infuriated Su Qide. He uttered three ''good''s in succession, gnashed his teeth in hatred, and said, "A measly little Alchemy Sovereign actually dares to utter wild ravings. I want to see what capabilities you have to dare call us, a group of Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses, trash! Boasting needs the courage to boast. Dare to compete or not?"


    Ye Yuan said scornfully, "Competing with a bunch of trash like you guys, you aren''t qualified enough yet!"


    "Hahaha! Who doesn''t know how to talk big? You saying this, is it conceding?" Su Qide said with a big laugh.


    "Conceding? You''re thinking too much. What I meant was that your level is only fit to have a contest with my disciples. Ren Dong, Ruyan, come over!"


    Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan froze when they heard that. They also did not expect to be called out by Ye Yuan at this time, arriving by Ye Yuan''s side blankly.


    Seeing this scene, Su Qide''s face went green.


    But Ye Yuan did not care about his expression. He instructed the duo, "The two of you, educate them well what is called alchemist!"


    Even though the two followed Ye Yuan for a very long time already and knew that Ye Yuan''s strength was overwhelming, dealing with these Alchemy Ancestors shouldn''t be a problem.


    But to let them do it, they were rather jittery.


    But in front of so many people, they could not yield either. They could only toughen their scalps and said, "Yes, Master!"


    "Puu huuu ��"


    With this, many people could not hold it in and let out laughter immediately.


    Qian-er could not refrain from laughing, her entire person shaking with laughter, and said to the Elder Duan beside in a low voice, "This Ye Yuan is really too bad! To even be able to come up with this kind of lousy move! He doesn''t go himself but let his two disciples go up. Making two Alchemy Kings compete with Alchemy Ancestors, even if they lost, Su Qide would probably get stench all over himself too!"


    Elder Duan shook his head too and said with a laugh, "This boy is indeed deriding. But it''s very practical. With this, Su Qide is checkmated viciously but can''t wind it up."


    Su Qide was angered until his chest was like puffing bellows. Only after some time, did he catch his breath and said in a great rage, "Ye Yuan punk, you �� you''re bullying others too far! You let two Alchemy King Realm babies compete with this old man, this is insulting this old man! Alchemy Saint He, I recommend to ally up all the trading firms in the entire city and boycott this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion!"


    He Shuming also did not expect that Ye Yuan would come up with this kind of low-blow. But outside of his fury at this time, he was somewhat filled with lingering fear afterward.


    If it were him provoking Ye Yuan just now, it would probably be even more awkward at this time, right?


    His illustrious name was almost ruined in this punk''s hands!


    Hearing Su Qide said so, He Shuming immediately responded, "Ye Yuan, you''re too condescending! To actually insult seniors like this! Today, I ��"


    He Shuming had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Ye Yuan rudely. Ye Yuan said, "Alchemy Saint He, this Ye Yuan doesn''t have the intention of joking! Aren''t you all here to challenge the dojo? I''ll give you this opportunity today! Let''s compete for three rounds, how about that?"

 734 Disciples Requesting Battle

    "Oh? Compete for three rounds? How to compete?" He Shuming asked rather interestedly.


    "Up to you to pick! Let''s pit soldiers against soldiers, general against general! You compete with me. Then pick two out among these garbage Alchemy Ancestors to compete with my disciples." Ye Yuan said very indifferently.


    Only he was indifferent. The others were not calm.


    An Alchemy Sovereign leading Alchemy Kings to challenge an Alchemy Saint bringing two Alchemy Ancestors?


    This punk wasn''t soft in the head, right?


    More importantly, Ye Yuan actually handed the initiative over to He Shuming, allowing him to pick the events.


    If He Shuming picked what he was good at to compete in, wasn''t this extending his head out for people to chop?


    "Haha, Ye Yuan, I know that you have some capability! But you making light of heroes under the heaven like this will cost you dearly! Or maybe, you wish to use this kind of method to make me have misgivings about my reputation and let you off today?" He Shuming said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "You''re over-thinking! How about this, since it''s a competition, then let''s add some stake, how''s that?"


    He Shuming was slightly startled, thinking to himself, could this boy be for real?


    "What stake?"


    "If I lose, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion is yours! You lose, give me 100 thousand merit points! This deal, it''s a sure win without losing anything for you. How about it? Dare to compete or not?" Ye Yuan said directly.


    Qian-er got anxious when she heard and hurriedly said, "No way! This sort of competition is unfair in itself. Ye Yuan, you''re treating it too much of a child''s play like this!"


    He Shuming laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, looks like even your own people aren''t optimistic about you!"


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Qian-er and said to He Shuming, "Doesn''t matter. I have the final say here!"


    "Good! Since it''s already said until like this, if I still don''t agree, wouldn''t it let the heroes of the world scoff? But our two parties competing, it can''t be each side believing that they are right, that both sides have their merits. Got to find a person to preside over, right?" He Shuming said.


    "I''ll preside over, how''s that?"


    A deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded out in the crowd. Everyone looked over where the voice came from, and they saw a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothing sticking out.


    He even brought an attendant alongside him, but Ye Yuan recognized that he was precisely the city guards army''s head-commander, Luo Fang!


    A figure able to make Luo Fang tag along as an attendant, his identity was also obvious.


    "City Lord Your Excellency! W-Why have you come?" He Shuming said in astonishment.


    This person was precisely Ancient Opulence City''s City Lord, Ying Tianya!


    Ye Yuan had heard of Jun Tianyu mentioning this person before. Even the lofty and proud Jun Tianyu''s appraisal of Ying Tianya was very high too.


    If say there were still people Jun Tianyu was apprehensive of in this Ancient Opulence City, there was only this Ying Tianya!


    Ying Tianya walked out slowly from the crowd, carrying the unique bearing of a sovereign, and said with a faint smile, "This Ying heard that a Master Ye newly emerged in the city, and even opened a medicinal pill store on Ancient Opulence Street, so I came over to have a look on a spur of the moment. But I didn''t expect that Alchemy Saint He is actually competing with Master Ye here. I wonder if this Ying has the qualifications to take on the post of the person presiding over?"


    He Shuming hurriedly said, "City Lord Your Excellency is in such a mood. This He is absolutely honored!"


    Ying Tianya nodded his head and looked at Ye Yuan, saying, "Does Master Ye have any objections?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No objections."


    Ying Tianya chuckled and said, "Fine then. This Ying will witness the splendor of my Ancient Opulence City''s two pinnacle masters! I wonder what you two wish to compete in?"


    Attentive people could tell that Ying Tianya''s words placed Ye Yuan and He Shuming on equal positions. This made them very surprised.


    Ye Yuan was merely a puny little Alchemy Sovereign. He could actually let City Lord His Excellency regard him with special attention like so?


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders when he heard that and said, "Doesn''t matter to me. Up to him then."


    Ye Yuan''s attitude deeply wounded He Shuming''s pride.


    Seems like under this kind of circumstances, the one displaying an indifferent attitude should be him, right?


    This brat really knew how to seize the limelight!


    "Competing in pill refinement with a measly little Alchemy Sovereign, other people will definitely say that I''m bullying you! How about this, let''s compete in fire control. How''s that?" He Shuming said with a cold smile.


    "Shameless! I heard that Alchemy Saint He is strongest in fire control. Isn''t this bullying people?"


    "Indeed rather shameless. But who asked that Ye Yuan to posture himself? He''s only at the Alchemy Sovereign Realm, yet, he had to pretend to be like an Alchemy Emperor; indifferent about anything. Then he would naturally have to pick what he''s good at."


    "Actually, with Alchemy Saint He''s strength, even if he doesn''t choose fire control, Ye Yuan doesn''t have any chances of victory either, right? Ye Yuan is biting more a little more than he can chew. Once he lose, the entire Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will be lost to him."


    He Shuming''s reputation in Ancient Opulence City was extremely great. Everyone all knew that what he was most proficient in was fire control.


    He actually chose the fire control he was most skilled in at this time. It was seriously quite contemptible.


    ...


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion made some simple preparation work. Because fire control did not require too complicated stuff, therefore, it was finished preparing very fast.


    During this period, Qian-er had been nagging by the side constantly. Clearly, she was very displeased with Ye Yuan''s decision.


    Although she knew that Ye Yuan had some skill, doing so was truly a bit too risky.


    Reaching Alchemy Saint Realm, which person would be mediocre?


    Moreover, even if Ye Yuan''s means were heaven-defying, what about his two disciples?


    What Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan had to face were Alchemy Ancestor experts!


    Could his disciples be as heaven-defying as him too?


    Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan duo dragged their feet to Ye Yuan''s side and said softly, "Master, we �� we ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled as he patted Ren Dong''s shoulder and said, "It''s fine. Just take it as a game and bring out your usual training standards will do. Even if we really lose, worst comes to worst, we''ll start over from the beginning once more. With Master''s capabilities, what does a tiny little Fragrant Medicine Pavilion count as? Furthermore, the disciples that I, Ye Yuan, taught, if they can''t even beat a few mongrels, then that''s too disgraceful!"


    In his past and present life, Ye Yuan only took in these two disciples. These few years, Ye Yuan spared no efforts in teaching them too, and never keep things to himself.


    The two people''s improvements, Ye Yuan took it all into his sights. Therefore, he was plenty confident in them too.


    After a round of words, although it was unable to dispel the two person''s worries entirely, it made them set their minds at ease considerably.


    Yeah, a tiny little Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, what did it count as to Ye Yuan?


    The two people exchanged glances, secretly cheering themselves on.


    Everything prepared, Su Qide took the lead to fall out of the ranks. Looking at Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan, he said with a scornful look, "Two little babies, don''t blame this old man for bullying you guys! Want to blame, then blame that unreliable master of yours. It''s fine if he''s ignorant, but he even made his disciples come out and lose face!"


    Ren Dong was indignant once he heard that and immediately shot back, "You old fogey, Master he can mess you up just with one finger! Just who is losing face, we''ll know in a while!"


    Finished talking, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Master, Disciple requests to battle!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Go then!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan held his palm out. A small and exquisite lotus flower appeared. It was precisely one of Fiery''s clones.


    At present, Fiery and Ye Yuan''s mind were linked up. As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could lend essence fire to anybody for use and would not get a backlash.


    "Take it. Teach that old bastard a lesson properly!"

 735 Fire Tree, Silver Flower

    Alchemy King and Alchemy Ancestor were separated by two major boundaries.


    But alchemists'' duels were different from martial artists. A difference of two major boundaries between martial artists, even for a monster like Ye Yuan, he could not salvage it too.


    But among alchemists, outside of competing in pill refinement, Alchemy Kings still had a possibility of winning Alchemy Ancestors theoretically.


    Of course, that was also just in theory.


    If without heaven-defying inheritances, for an Alchemy King to want to win an Alchemy Ancestor, that was basically sheer nonsense.


    The accumulations and experience of an Alchemy Ancestor were simply not what Alchemy Kings could compare to.


    Especially with fire control, experience had a crucially important effect. That was the accumulation on countless times of pill refinement.


    Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan''s age were placed right there. No one felt that they could match up to a veteran Alchemy Ancestor like Su Qide in terms of fire control.


    Actually, even Ren Dong himself did not have the least bit of confidence either.


    Alchemy Ancestor expert, this was a boundary that he did not even dare to think about in the Lower Realms. And now, he was actually going to compete in fire control with such a powerhouse.


    But Su Qide''s words earlier infuriated Ren Dong.


    Ye Yuan was akin to a god in his heart now. Su Qide''s words touched his reverse-scale!


    "No matter what, I must have a match with this old fellow properly! Even if I can''t win him, I can''t lose face for Master either!" Ren Dong secretly resolved himself.


    In other people''s view, this was a competition completely without chances of victory. But Ren Dong knew that Master''s round was absolutely a crushing victory!


    Competing in pill refinement, the present Ye Yuan was indeed unable to refine Tier 7 medicinal pills. But if competing on fire control, so what if the person was an Alchemy Saint powerhouse?


    "Begin then, brat. I want to take a look at just how formidable the disciple taught by an Alchemy Sovereign is!"


    As he said, Su Qide''s essence energy spat out. A cluster of red flames appeared in his palm.


    His fingers fiddled with the red flame, as if strumming a zither, dancing, giving people a feeling of soothing and relaxation.


    In-between this, he even raised his head to look at Ren Dong from time to time, but he saw that Ren Dong still did not move. He just watched him control fire stupidly.


    Seeing this scene, Su Qide was even prouder of himself.


    "Truly too formidable! Indeed well-deserving of being an existence second only to Alchemy Saint He in Ancient Opulence City! This fire controlling skill is probably only inferior to Alchemy Saint He''s!"


    "Alchemy Ancestor experts are Alchemy Ancestor experts. Without repeated training and tempering, how can it be possible to master this level of fire controlling skill?"


    "Today is really an eye-opener! Alchemy Ancestor Su''s fire controlling skill is already so formidable. Then formidable to what degree is Alchemy Saint He?"


    Hearing everyone''s praises, Su Qide was even prouder of himself.


    He still had some strength left over at this time, so he had the thought of flaunting his skill. The movements of his hands sped up more.


    With this, it aroused more marveling.


    Rather, it was Ren Dong who still looked at Su Qide blankly, and actually seemed like he forgot to take action.


    "Hey, boy, you aren''t dazed from watching, right? Huhu, indeed an inexperienced brat who has ever seen the world before. Broadened your horizons today, right?"


    He Shuming was even more delighted to see that Ren Dong was ''frightened silly.''


    Su Qide winning this match, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was basically half in his hands already. How could he not be delighted?


    Ren Dong seemingly only came back to his senses at this time and said absent-mindedly, "Uh, this is the fire control of Alchemy Ancestor Realm?"


    "Otherwise, what do you think? Boy, you''re still young, experiencing some setbacks isn''t much. With your age, to be able to cultivate to Alchemy King Realm is considered not bad. Either way, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion won''t exist anymore in the future too. Why not you come under my tutelage. I''ll impart you even more ingenious fire controlling skills!" He Shuming guided gently and actually started snatching away his opponent''s people already.


    He did not perceive the meaning in Ren Dong''s words at all, and he even thought that Ren Dong was taken by surprise by Su Qide''s fire controlling skill, that was why he would let out such an emotional sigh.


    When Ren Dong heard, he knew that He Shuming was mistaken. He shook his head and said, "If this is the fire controlling skill of Alchemy Ancestor Realm, then me winning him shouldn''t be too difficult."


    He Shuming was stunned when he heard that. This brat actually dared to mess with him?


    He was just about to fly off the handle when Ren Dong moved at this time!


    Only to see him beckon with one hand. The fire lotus bloomed, similarly forming a small cluster of flames.


    Following that, Ren Dong''s hands started moving dreamlike, while that small cluster of flames actually grew into a small tree under his spurring. Furthermore, it was strikingly vivid and lifelike!


    That small tree gradually germinated, growing out branches, becoming luxuriant!


    The originally still somewhat noisy Fragrant Medicine Pavilion suddenly quietened down at this time.


    While He Shuming''s eyes turned into wide-saucers when he saw this scene.


    Such consummate fire controlling skill was also not the least bit inferior to him, this Alchemy Saint!


    What fire control skill was particular about was exquisiteness. Areas that should be strong was strong, places that should be weak was weak.


    Only like this, could one let the medicinal pill receive more abundant baptizing of flames when refining pills.


    To be able to condense flames to form the shape of a small tree, this required immensely profound skill!


    Su Qide on the other hand, his skills appeared very brilliant indeed. But regarding the degree of exquisiteness in controlling flames, it was clearer worse than Ren Dong.


    "Fire tree, silver flowers!"


    Ren Dong gave a light cry. Bright-colored silver flowers actually bloomed one after another on that small tree!


    How did Su Qide still have that leisurely composure from before at this time?


    When he saw Ren Dong''s skill, his entire face went green.


    He desperately urged the flames in his hand, likewise wanting to condense and form a small tree.


    Su Qide was an Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse in the end. Under forceful deploying, he really condensed out the shape of a small tree.


    It was just that this small tree''s appearance, even for the martial artists who did not know fire controlling skills, they could also distinguish the good from the bad.


    At the end, Su Qide''s face was flushed red. But the small tree was completely unable to become like Ren Dong''s, vivid and lifelike.


    "The first match, Fragrant Medicine Pavilion wins!" Ying Tianya announced the results right away.


    Regarding this kind of result that was apparent, no one doubted it at all.


    Ren Dong put away the flames, ran in front of Ye Yuan, and said with an excited look, "Master, turns out that my fire controlling skill is already this incredible!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don''t know what''s you''re talking about. It''s still early! Today, making you guys take action is to let you guys find a bit of confidence. But keep in mind to not be complacent! One loses by pride and gains by modesty, understood?"


    Ren Dong nodded his head like a chicken pecking for rice and said obediently, "Disciple understands!"


    These few year''s time, Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan duo did not idle their time away in the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan carried out demon-like training for the two of them.


    This fire controlling was one of them!


    The missions that Ye Yuan assigned were all extremely focused. Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan immersing themselves in diligent practice, their strength soared by leaps and bounds too.


    It was just that the two of them were both immersed in exceedingly dreary training. Moreover, most of the training was alchemist''s basic skills, resulting in the two of them not having much understanding of their current strength.


    It was only when Ren Dong saw Su Qide controlling his fire did the former knew what kind of level his strength already reached.


    One could say that apart from his cultivation realm not reaching the standard, he actually already surpassed Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses all-round in basic skills now!

 736 Complete Victory!

    "Junior Apprentice Brother, you can even win with such standards. I already have nothing to say." Xiao Ruyan rolled her eyes at one side.


    Ren Dong touched his head when he heard and said embarrassedly, "Senior Apprentice Sister, I �� I also didn''t expect that his level was so lousy."


    "Makes sense. I even thought that an Alchemy Ancestor''s fire controlling level was very high. I didn''t think that that was all he got. Made me worry for half a day in vain."


    "Huhu, yeah! I was dumbfounded watching just now and even thought that I saw wrongly. How can an Alchemy Ancestor''s fire control level be just this bit? Senior Apprentice Sister''s fire controlling skill is even more formidable than mine. You should win even more easily."


    "Hehe, even a guy like you can win. If I don''t win, wouldn''t I lose face for Master too much?"


    These apprentice sister and brother''s conversation made everyone speechless when they heard.


    Alchemy Kings who dared to say this sort of words in front of Alchemy Ancestors were probably also just these two apprentice sister and brothers, right?


    Ying Tianya looked at Ye Yuan rather interestedly, his gaze exuding thick astonishment.


    Ren Dong''s and Xiao Ruyan''s expressions did not seem to be fake. Looks like they really did not know that their own strengths were actually that strong.


    Then how profound a skill did the Ye Yuan who was able to teach the two of them had to have?


    Ren Dong''s performance earlier really took his breath away.


    If not for seeing with his own eyes, Ying Tianya really did not dare to believe that a puny little Alchemy King actually had such superb fire controlling standards.


    Ying Tianya could not help looking forward to the showdown between Ye Yuan and He Shuming.


    Right at this time, Xiao Ruyan fell out of the ranks and said to the group of Alchemy Ancestors with full confidence, "Hey, is there any a little stronger? Come out and let''s compete. If it''s that level just now, this young lady won''t even have the desire to compete."


    "..."


    The group of Alchemy Ancestors glanced around, looking at one another. Not one actually dared to come out and fight.


    If it was before Ren Dong and Su Qide''s competition, they would definitely have jumped up already.


    But now, facing Xiao Ruyan''s provocation, they did not even dare to let out a fart.


    They heard distinctly just now that Xiao Ruyanw was Ren Dong senior sister. Moreover, when Xiao Ruyan was looking down on Ren Dong earlier, Ren Dong did not have any temper at all either.


    That indicated that Xiao Ruyan''s fire control level was even above Ren Dong''s!


    And in their group of people, the one strongest at fire control was Su Qide.


    Under such circumstances, who was still willing to take the initiative to come out and lose face?


    "What? If no one else is coming out to fight, this Ying will take it as you guys forfeit," Ying Tianya said nonchalantly when he saw that there was no one responding for a long time here.


    Xiao Ruyan smiled smugly, but she voiced out, "Forget it, looks like you guys are also just this level. How about this, this young lady will perform a set of fire controlling art. If there is anyone among you guys able to do it, count it as this young lady''s loss. How''s that?"


    Those few Alchemy Ancestors exchanged glances and felt indignant, but they did not dare to speak up.


    At this time, nobody dared to come out and brag either. Everyone losing face together was better than one person coming out to lose face.


    By the side, He Shuming''s face was already livid with rage already. This bunch of fellows was really not reliable at all, to actually be freaked out by a little child!


    "Since you all are not speaking, then this young lady will take it as you guys agree!"


    As she said, Xiao Ruyan held her palm out. A small cluster of flames gradually became a small flower.


    Following that, her palm quivered. Another small flower actually emerged again.


    Xiao Ruyan''s palm vibrated with rhythm. After that, one small flower after another derived from it.


    Xiao Ruyan actually danced trippingly while creating little flowers. And those small flowers rose and danced gaily along with her.


    At this moment, Xiao Ruyan was like a flower fairy maiden. Those flower petals served to accentuate her beauty even more soul-stirringly.


    For a moment, all the martial artists were senseless from watching.


    They had never seen such a beautiful scene before, such exquisite fire controlling skills.


    Creating one small flower wasn''t considered much. Three or five flowers did not count as anything too. But creating a hundred flame flowers in one go, and still being able to manipulate to her will like so, then that was too incredible!


    All of a sudden, Xiao Ruyan stopped the dance steps. Those tiny flowers also dissipated along with it.


    Quite a number of people were still immersed in that beautiful scene earlier and was unable to extricate themselves.


    "Too �� Too beautiful! Really have no way of imagining that dreary fire controlling arts are actually able to display such a magnificent and gorgeous environment!


    "Even Master Ye''s disciples have such strength. Then wouldn''t his own fire controlling skills be heaven-defying?"


    "I really want to witness Master Ye''s fire controlling skills! But the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion already won two rounds in a row. There probably isn''t the opportunity already, right?"


    Xiao Ruyan herself also did not expect that her displaying this fire controlling skill today, she actually became the goddess in the hearts of the Ancient Opulence City''s male martial artists.


    After today, many people all came to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion all for a look at her gorgeous appearance.


    "Gentleman, are there people able to imitate Miss Xiao''s fire controlling skill?" Ying Tianya asked.


    Those few Alchemy Ancestors had awkward looks, their eyes evading.


    Forget about Xiao Ruyan, even Ren Dong''s move was already hard for them to execute!


    Ying Tianya smiled faintly when he saw no one respond and said, "Since that''s the case, the second round is also the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s victory! The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion won two rounds in a row. This Ying feels that this third round probably doesn''t have the need to compete already, right?"


    He Shuming''s expression flickered incessantly but did not make a sound.


    Right then, Ye Yuan came forward and said, "Alchemy Saint He is an Alchemy Saint powerhouse. Presumably, his fire controlling skill wouldn''t be so mediocre. This Ye feels that this third round should be engaged in. Otherwise, Alchemy Saint He would likely be unconvinced in his heart! How about this, this Ye will be like his disciple and display a fire controlling skill. If Alchemy Saint He is able to do it, count it as this Ye''s loss. How''s that?"


    Ye Yuan stepping out at this time was equivalent to checkmating He Shuming.


    Ying Tianya was a little surprised, but asked He Shuming, "What does Alchemy Saint He think?"


    Actually, He Shuming''s fire controlling skill was rather brilliant. Xiao Ruyan''s level of fire control, he could actually barely achieve it.


    But the problem was, Xiao Ruyan was just Ye Yuan''s disciple.


    The disciple''s strength already reached such a level. Then what about her master?


    But to let him admit defeat like this, he was unreconciled to it too.


    He was this Ancient Opulence City''s top seat. If he admitted defeat, where would he put his old face?


    He Shuming gritted his teeth and said, "Compete then! Who''s afraid of who?!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Watch closely!"


    Only to see Ye Yuan place his hands together and pull. With a flutter, countless flying birds flew out from his palms just like this, soaring around the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s cross-beam.


    These flying birds were all strikingly lifelike. Even the eyes of each bird seemed so intelligent.


    If not for knowing beforehand, these martial artists would probably even think that these flying birds were real!


    Furthermore, the species of these flying birds were all different. Size and appearance, not a single one was exactly alike!


    Counting simply, Ye Yuan created thousands of birds with species different from one another.


    Everyone all sucked in a cold breath!


    Different from Xiao Ruyan, Ye Yuan practically created so many flying birds instantaneously.


    This level of fire control skill could already be rated as a masterstroke!

 737 Hundred Birds Paying Homage to a Phoenix!

    Thousands of birds circled around the beam. This scene was a grand sight.


    Just this move was already hard for He Shuming to imitate.


    Drawing a myriad of life with the power of flames, this level of fire control was simply divine!


    He Shuming''s fire control skills were very strong. To really make him illustrate some flying birds, he was also barely able to achieve it. But to let him do it until every flying bird was so lifelike and indistinguishable from the original, how could he accomplish it?


    This did not just require subtle control over flames, it required exquisite control over essence energy even more!


    "Humph! I was wondering how incredible a fire controlling skill it was. It''s merely about the same as your disciple too!" He Shuming said stubbornly.


    Once these words came out, quite a few martial artists shot him contemptuous eyes. This was clearly the tempo of unable to bear a loss.


    But Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Alchemy Saint He doesn''t have to be anxious. It isn''t finished yet!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan extended a finger, and dotted and drew a line in the air. A series of faint chirps suddenly sounded out.


    "My god! It''s a phoenix! That �� is that really a phoenix?"


    "No, wait! That isn''t a real phoenix! It''s likewise drawn by Ye Yuan with fire control skills!"


    Once the phoenix emerged, a wave of marveling immediately echoed in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    Those birds were originally flying around the beam. Once the fire phoenix emerged, they actually collectively stopped in the air, and actually seemed to pay homage to the fire phoenix collectively!


    "My hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix, if Alchemy Saint He can do it, count it as our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion lose, how''s that?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    He Shuming''s expression was incomparably nasty. He never would have thought that a puny little Alchemy Sovereign''s fire controlling skills actually reached such a terrifying level!


    The scary thing about this hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix was not how difficult it was to illustrate, but that these birds actually had some intelligence!


    Fire controlling skill reaching this kind of level already had no way of describing with words anymore!


    He, He Shuming, even if he cultivated for another several hundred years, it was impossible to attain such a level too.


    "Humph! Ye Yuan, today''s score, this He has noted it down! Let''s go! 100 thousand merit points, I''ll send people to transfer you in a while!"


    He Shuming seriously could not stay on here any longer and could only flick his sleeves and leave.


    When they left, it even incurred a wave of booing.


    After today, Ye Yuan could be considered to have become famous in one battle in the Ancient Opulence City.


    An Alchemy Saint powerhouse brought along a bunch of Alchemy Ancestors to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to challenge them. In the end, they were beaten by an Alchemy Sovereign and two Alchemy Kings to a sorry plight, each and every one of them leaving dusty and dirty in appearance!


    This level of strength was sufficient to indicate that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion had the ability to keep a foothold on Ancient Opulence Street.


    Moreover, in the foreseeable future, Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s limelight might even overshadow the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company completely!


    "Ye Yuan, you''re too incredible! Really didn''t expect that your fire controlling skill has actually reached such a miraculous boundary!"


    Ye Yuan''s performance gave Qian-er a hugely pleasant surprise. Only now did she know why Ye Yuan did not want their Meteor Trading Company''s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse to come over.


    In front of Ye Yuan, what did Alchemy Ancestor powerhouses count as?!


    Ye Yuan looked at Qian-er and said mockingly, "Didn''t you even say prior to this that I was treating it too much of a child''s play?"


    Qian-er''s face reddened, and she lowered her head bashfully. Although separated by a layer of veil, Ye Yuan was able to feel her embarrassment too.


    "Your fire controlling art is so incredible. Why didn''t you tell me in advance? Let me be mentally prepared too!" Qian-er said begrudgingly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Even if I tell you that I''m very incredible, would you believe?"


    "Uh �� seems like no," Qian-er was stunned and blurted out.


    "Hahaha! Master Ye''s fire control skill truly let this Ying broaden my horizons! If not for seeing with my own eyes, this Ying would really be unable to imagine that an ascender actually possessed such terrifying strength!" Ying Tianya said with a big laugh.


    "Huhu, City Lord Your Excellency is too kind. This is merely an unorthodox path of this Ye, just trying to get by."


    Ying Tianya looked at Ye Yuan meaningfully and suddenly opened his mouth, "Master Ye, how about we head inside and have a talk?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Please!"


    ...


    Driving away He Shuming, there was also not much use of Ye Yuan staying at the front anymore.


    This sort of thing like management, the Meteor Trading Company''s people were obviously much more formidable than him.


    This time, he achieved fame in one battle. With so many martial artists witnessing him defeating He Shuming with fire controlling arts, it would definitely spread throughout the entire Ancient Opulence City very quickly.


    What this selling of medicinal pills relied on was fame.


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company being able to overwhelm the Meteor Trading Company, a very large degree was all due to He Shuming.


    The Meteor Trading Company was unable to dispatch Alchemy Saint powerhouses over to this Ancient Opulence City for various reasons. Being suppressed was also bound to happen.


    For Ye Yuan to smack He Shuming''s face today so domineeringly, the objective was in order to let all the martial artists know his prowess. This way, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would naturally rack in riches.


    Adding in that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s medicinal pills quality was too solid, squeezing out a large proportion of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s profits was also inevitable.


    Cooperating with the city guards army, Ye Yuan long had expectations.


    Him unveiling the medicinal pills for Luo Fang to try previously naturally captured his heart all at once.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that Ying Tianya this City Lord actually came to visit.


    "I wonder what City Lord Your Excellency is finding Ye Yuan for?" when both parties sat down, Ye Yuan asked straight away.


    "Huhu, Master Ye is a straightforward man speaking his mind. I won''t beat around the bush either. Luo Fang holds the few types of medicinal pills you guys unveiled in high esteem. I came today naturally wanting to witness it," Ying Tianya said.


    "Oh? Just a few medicinal pills. How can it trouble City Lord to come in person?"


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out several medicinal pills and placed them in front of Ying Tianya.


    Ying Tianya was not courteous either, swallowing those few kinds of medicinal pills in one go, his eyes involuntarily lighting up.


    "No wonder Luo Fang praised your medicinal pills so highly. This medicinal effect is indeed extraordinary! Master Ye, our City Lord Manor plan on placing an order for these few medicinal pills. Each type of medicinal pill, 5000 pills. What do you think?" Ying Tianya said.


    The medicinal pills Ye Yuan took out had a total of five kinds. 5000 of each type of medicinal pill was 25 thousand medicinal pills.


    To the newly open Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, this was absolutely a big business.


    But Ye Yuan''s face did not have much of an agitated expression. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Thank you very much for City Lord Your Excellency''s generous kindness. This Ye is endlessly grateful. But City Lord Your Excellency didn''t make a trip personally for the sake of a few medicinal pills, right?"


    Ying Tianya laughed out loud when he heard and said, "Haha, looks like it indeed can''t hide from Master Ye! Actually, coming to find Master Ye today is because I have a matter to request you. It''s just that this matter is hard to talk about, so ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So you first put me under obligation, then talk about this hard to say matter, is it?"


    Luo Fang''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "Ye Yuan, what are you saying! City Lord His Excellency, he ��"


    Luo Fang had yet to say finish and was stopped by Ying Tianya with a hand gesture, who said with a smile, "Master Ye''s heart is like a clear mirror. Looks like nothing can be hidden from you. It''s just that this matter is very important to me ��"


    But Ye Yuan interrupted Ying Tianya''s words straight away and said, "Something that even City Lord Your Excellency finds very hard is most likely very dangerous. Since it''s hard to talk about, then it would be better to not talk about it. This business, our Fragrant Medicine Pavilion won''t take it on."

 738 Spar

    There was no free lunch in this world. Ying Tianya buying so many medicinal pills from the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion in one go, if this was calculated according to earth essence crystals, the number could be counted in the hundreds of thousands.


    Therefore, the thing he wanted Ye Yuan to do would likely have to pay an equal price too.


    If it were just treating illnesses and saving people, Ying Tianya definitely would not find it so hard to say.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan determined that the thing Ying Tianya wanted him to do definitely had a corresponding risk.


    At least, to him, this Divine Traversing Realm martial artist, it was rather dangerous.


    Ying Tianya''s stomach full of words was blocked right at his mouth by Ye Yuan. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan could not help having some transformation.


    He thought that his order of his was sufficient to move Ye Yuan. He didn''t expect that Ye Yuan rejected it without even blinking.


    One had to know that this order, even when placed in the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, it was absolutely not a small sum either, let alone that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was just a newly-opened medicinal store.


    "Master Ye, this order has nothing to do with me inviting you to take action. After the matter is done, this Ying will have another generous gift to offer. The value will be several times of this order!" Ying Tianya refused to give up.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Does City Lord Your Excellency take this Ye to be a fool? The more generous the remuneration you give, it means that the matter you make this Ye do will be more dangerous. This Ye is just a Divine Traversing Realm junior. If City Lord Your Excellency requires alchemists, wouldn''t going to find Alchemy Saint He be more suitable?"


    It was not that Ye Yuan really did not want to go. It was just that his current strength was still a little weak in the Divine Realm. Therefore, he planned to cultivate in the Ancient Opulence City for a period of time before going out.


    The strength of the Divine Realm''s martial artists was much stronger compared to the Lower Realms.


    Ye Yuan could even leap across a major cultivation realm to one-shot his foe in the Lower Realms. But wanting to do this while being in the Divine Realm was quite hard.


    He still had some chances of victory when dealing with ordinary initial-stage Boundless Realm powerhouses with his current strength. But if they came out from major families with inheritances, then it would be rather strained.


    Even in this unassuming Ancient Opulence City, martial artists who comprehended true intent could be found everywhere too.


    Even like Jun Tianyu this kind, they were also not too far off from comprehending supreme true intent.


    Walking around outside with Ye Yuan''s current strength was still a little too dangerous.


    Ying Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "I''m not hiding things from Master Ye. Actually, the person I have in mind originally was He Shuming too. But after witnessing Master Ye''s skills, I feel that you''re a more suitable choice. But for precautionary measures, I plan on inviting you and Alchemy Saint He to go along together. Master Ye rest assured, this trip is only to save people. As long as the person is rescued, we''ll pull out immediately and absolutely won''t stay!"


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "Talk more about the specifics."


    The moment Ying Tianya heard that there was hope, he could not help becoming overjoyed and recounted the whole story of the incident.


    Turns out that Ying Tianya''s junior apprentice brother unwittingly found an ancient grotto and headed inside the grotto alone to seek treasures. In the end, he was trapped in that ancient grotto.


    But Ying Tianya''s relationship with this junior apprentice brother was very close. The two of them had a kind of special skill to transmit news. Hence, his junior pleaded for help from Ying Tianya through this skill.


    Ying Tianya received the news that his junior was trapped in the ancient grotto and was unable to get away. Furthermore, he was inflicted with a peculiar poison. It was Ying Tianya who thought of inviting alchemists along.


    "That junior of mine is only only at the Second Level Heaven Enlightenment. He''s able to preserve his life in that ancient grotto. Presumably, that grotto shouldn''t be too dangerous. This Ying assures you to definitely do everything in my power to ensure your safety this trip! As long as this Ying is around, I absolutely won''t let people harm a hair of yours!" Ying Tianya patted his chest and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he shook his head and said, "Asking me to go is viable. But this kind of guarantee is still not enough!"


    Ye Yuan was not some fledgling experiencing the world for the first time. This kind of verbal promise, he did not trust at all.


    When danger really struck and Ying Tianya ran at the critical juncture, who could he find to reason things out?


    Ying Tianya hesitated for a moment, but took out a suit of armor and said, "This is this Ying''s personal suit of armor; high-grade profound artifact, Skyplume Treasure Armor. Even Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses are unable to break its defense in a short while either. I wonder if this Ying''s sincerity is sufficient? Of course, the terms promised to Master Ye prior still stands. After the matter is done, I''ll pay a reward of one million merit points separately!"


    Ye Yuan took over the Skyplume Treasure Armor from Ying Tianya''s hands and said with a nod, "Alright, deal. But I have a condition!"


    "Master Ye please say!"


    "My condition is that Brother Jun travel together with me!" Ye Yuan said.


    Ying Tianya nodded with an emotional sigh, "If Younger Brother Jun is able to travel together, then that''s for the best. With Younger Brother Jun''s strength, this journey is bound to have a few more parts of assurance!"


    ...


    After Ying Tianya left, Ye Yuan said to Jun Tianyu with a slight apology, "Brother Jun, dragging you into the water this time, I''m really sorry!"


    Ye Yuan knew that this journey likely would not be that simple. But the only helper Ye Yuan could find now was only Jun Tianyu.


    Jun Tianyu said with a smile, "What''s Younger Brother Ye saying? This Jun has also not worked out my body for a long time. My cultivation has also remained stagnant for very long. This trip is precisely a turning point. I hope that I''m able to have some gains."


    Jun Tianyu''s words were not false. These few years, for the sake of Liu Yiru''s ailment, he practically abandoned cultivation, resulting in his cultivation stagnating and not advancing all along.


    If he still did not work his body, wanting to break through in the future would be hard.


    A character like Jun Tianyu was naturally unresigned to only having Heaven Enlightenment Realm strength for all his life. That would be even worse than killing him.


    Ye Yuan said, "Great kindness can''t be thanked with words. This grace of Brother Jun, this Ye has remembered it."


    "Haha, isn''t Younger Brother Ye regarding me as an outsider here? To really talk about being grateful, it should also be me thanking you! Without you, I''d probably be a walking corpse right now already. Moreover, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion establishing, you gifted 20% performance shares directly to me. You can''t let a grown man like me eat idly without working, right?" Jun Tianyu cracked a rare joke.


    It was just that no matter what, to be able to generously travel together under the situation where he clearly knew there was danger, this great kindness of Jun Tianyu''s made Ye Yuan very grateful.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Brother Jun, this Ye''s current strength is meager and is also unable to help you refine medicinal pills. But this Ye is incapable and happened to have some comprehension on Sword Dao too. Why don''t we spar a bit? Hopefully, it can be of some assistance to you."


    Jun Tianyu froze when he heard that. He was really unaware that Ye Yuan actually had some attainments along the martial path apart from refining pills.


    Moreover, hearing Ye Yuan''s meaning, his attainments on Sword Dao was even not low.


    Jun Tianyu had dealt with Ye Yuan for some time too and knew that he was not someone to shoot his mouth off.


    To dare say so, he probably had some capabilities.


    But regarding Ye Yuan''s words, Jun Tianyu was still rather disapproving of it in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s attainments in alchemy, Jun Tianyu prostrate on all fours in admiration.


    But there were times a person''s strength just wouldn''t do. How high could Ye Yuan''s attainments in Sword Dao be?


    Ye Yuan doing so was just a kind of compensation for dragging him into the water just now. The idea was nice, except, the effects were likely totally nonexistent.


    In Jun Tianyu''s view, Ye Yuan''s present level was completely unable to understand how high his current Sword Dao concept boundary was!

 739 Restoring Pill Formula

    "Lord Chairman, things are bad! Today, the moment the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opened for business, the door sill was crushed from the crowd!"


    Early in the morning, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s manager went to find Zuo Xin in a fluster.


    The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s explosive scene frightened him badly.


    In comparison, their Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company side here was deserted and quiet, practically without any customer.


    Zuo Xin''s frowned and asked, "What''s going on?"


    "The Tier 5 medicinal pills that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion unveiled, the medicinal effects are actually 40-60% higher than our varieties of the same kind, but the prices are even cheaper than after we discounted 20%! In addition �� In addition ��" said the manager. The manager stammered but did not dare to continue speaking.


    Zuo Xin''s expression darkened, and he said, "Speak!"


    "Yes, Lord Chairman! In addition, Alchemy Saint He was completely crushed by the Ye Yuan, master and disciples, yesterday. Overnight, it was like the martial artists in the entire city all knew the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s prowess!" the manager said.


    Bang!


    Zuo Xin gnashed his teeth hatefully and threw the teapot in his hand directly onto the ground, smashing it into pieces.


    "Go, think of ways to get some of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s medicinal pills over for me!" Zuo Xin said solemnly.


    "This subordinate has already gotten them from some martial artists who purchased the medicinal pills. Here they are."


    The manager clearly knew how to handle affairs well. Without waiting for Zuo Xin''s instructions, he already brought the medicinal pills over.


    But at this time, Zuo Xin was not in the mood of praising him at all. Snatching the medicinal pills over in a flash, he started scrutinizing in detail.


    But looking for a long time, Zuo Xin could not figure out what difference the medicinal pills in his hands was from his own too.


    "Go, get Alchemy Saint He to come over! Hang on �� forget it, I''ll go find him myself!"


    Such a major matter, Zuo Xin could not wait at all.


    If it were really as the manager said, then the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would be facing its greatest crisis!


    The business that Zuo Xin laid down a foundation for in the Ancient Opulence City painstakingly would be encroached on to the limits by the Meteor Trading Company very soon!


    Although Tier 5 medicinal pills only belonged to the low-level market, it was also the largest market. If this piece were eaten by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion entirely, their business would probably lose 30-40%!


    This kind of loss, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company seriously could not bear it!


    Moreover, Zuo Xin also heard that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion even had an expert assisting behind and was even able to refine superior-grade, even transcendent-grade Tier 6 medicinal pills.


    If left to grow unchecked, the outcome was too ghastly to imagine!


    Originally thought that two plots were enough to deal a fatal blow to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Who knew that hitting the snake failed to kill it and was bitten instead. The Fragrant Medicine Pavilion just opened for business day two and caused such a grave threat to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company.


    What surprised him even more was that He Shuming, a dignified Alchemy Saint, actually lost to an Alchemy Sovereign just like this!


    Even though it was just on fire control, losing means losing; there was no excuses. Those martial artists purchasing medicinal pills would not listen to any excuses either!


    Zuo Xin found He Shuming very quickly. Initially, he was embarrassed to meet Zuo Xin. But he already came to find him. He could not very well avoid Zuo Xin either.


    But after Zuo Xin briefly recounted the enormous crisis the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was facing, He Shuming had no way of being calm too.


    He originally thought that yesterday''s loss was just a one-time loss, did not affect the whole.


    Who knew that on the second day morning, he would hear such news like a bolt out of the blue.


    "This �� Why would the Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill add in Starnet Secret Flower? En? There is even Moon Foil Heavenly Sand? This �� This doesn''t adhere to medicinal theory at all! The strangest thing is that after adding in these things, the medicinal effect actually increased 40-50% compared to the original. This is simply inconceivable!"


    He Shuming was deserving of being an Alchemy Saint powerhouse. Just by smelling it with his nose, he already found the aspects different from ordinary Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pills.


    It was just that the way he saw it, adding in these things was simply downright nonsense and should ruin the medicinal properties of the core ingredients.


    But why would the medicinal effects rose so much instead after adding these in?


    A new type of medicinal pill emerging in the world would always cause alchemists to fervently research it.


    The composition of a medicinal pill actually did not have many areas that could be concealed. High-level alchemists could differentiate what kind of medicinal herbs a medicinal pill was constituted of just by using their noses.


    But to want to restore the pill formula through a medicinal pill, that was virtually something impossible.


    Because each type of medicinal herb''s proportion, quantity, were all unable to restore to its original form. Let alone the method of refining and how the fire should be controlled.


    Alchemy was an extremely precise work. Even if it were wrong by a wee bit, what was refined would be useless pills too.


    But this did not hinder He Shuming''s gasps of admiration towards this Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill!


    "Alchemy Saint He, can this medicinal pill �� be restored to its original form?" Zuo Xin asked rather cautiously.


    He Shuming heaved a sigh and said, "With my strength, it''s definitely unable to restore the pill formula. This medicinal pill looks trivial and normal on the surface. But the refining method is extremely mystifying and done by an experienced alchemist. If I want to crack it �� there''s likely only sending it back to the headquarters. It''s just, I don''t know if the Alchemy Emperor powerhouses in the headquarters can restore the pill formula or not!"


    Restoring the pill formidable, although it was virtually impossible, there was still that little bit of hope. If not, there wouldn''t be some very popular pill formulas circulating too.


    But to want to restore the pill formula, it normally required strength that transcended multiple ranks.


    This is because their understanding towards medicinal theory and pill refinement had already reached an extremely profound boundary.


    If luck was good, they could still fumble out some trick to it through some attribute relationship between the spirit medicines.


    Zuo Xin exclaimed in shock, "Even Alchemy Venerables are unable to restore to its original form?"


    He Shuming shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Alchemy Venerable experts won''t cut it too! If this medicinal pill is refined by Ye Yuan himself, then his attainments in alchemy are absolutely above mine! It''s just that his cultivation is lacking, that''s why he''s not able to refine Tier 6 and above medicinal pills. But if it''s like this, then that person behind him �� his strength would be too terrifying!"


    Although unwilling to admit it, the truth in front of him still made He Shuming candidly admit defeat.


    Zuo Xin was horrifyingly shocked when he heard that. This was just a Tier 5 medicinal pill. Logically speaking, Alchemy Venerable powerhouses should be able to restore the pill formula.


    But He Shuming said such intricate pill must have Alchemy Emperors to work on it.


    Zuo Xin gritted his teeth and said, "This batch of medicinal pills are of great importance. We''d better send it back to the headquarters! Later, I''ll make clear the situation to Lord Deacon. If these medicinal pills really can have their pill formulas restored, it will absolutely be highly beneficial to our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company!"


    He Shuming nodded his head, clearly in approval of Zuo Xin''s view too.


    Under normal circumstances, Alchemy Emperor powerhouses would not even be bothered to take action and restore such low-level medicinal pills.


    But in Zuo Xin''s view, if the pill formulas of these medicinal pills could be restored, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would have profits pouring in!


    Because the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s branches were everywhere; spanning several major regions. Once popularized, these few types of medicinal pills would absolutely be money trees!


    Regardless whether the headquarters agree or not, these medicinal pills must all be sent back!


    Zuo Xin believed that with upper echelons'' vision, they would absolutely be able to discern these Tier 5 medicinal pills'' value!


    ...


    And at this time, Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu were currently facing opposite each other.


    "Brother Jun, I''ll demonstrate a set of martial technique now, named Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword. You have to look closely!"

 740 In the Limeligh

    "Nine Swords Stance!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. Nine figures suddenly divided. Nine streaks of swordlight merged into one, charging straight for the horizon!


    Jun Tianyu was a person extremely arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. Regarding Ye Yuan''s enthusiasm, although he did not say anything verbally, he was still rather disapproving of it in his heart.


    But the moment Ye Yuan''s Nine Swords Stance appeared, Jun Tianyu''s countenance suddenly changed.


    "Supreme true intent! It''s actually supreme true intent!" Jun Tianyu exclaimed in shock.


    But Ye Yuan did not answer. The second move was unleashed!


    "Thousand Flowing Petals!"


    "Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"


    "Rending the Sky!"


    Each move he executed, Ye Yuan''s sword intent blossomed a degree more!


    When it reached Rending the Sky this style, Ye Yuan''s sword intent was already powerful to an unrivaled degree.


    Jun Tianyu''s sword intent was involuntarily spurred on by Ye Yuan.


    The sword intent on his body appeared rather disorderly. Under Ye Yuan''s sword intent, his sword intent was actually somewhat going out of control!


    One had to know that he was two major cultivation realms higher than Ye Yuan. Such a bizarre thing would actually occur!


    By the time Ye Yuan finished displaying the four styles of sword moves, Jun Tianyu had looked at Ye Yuan and smiled bitterly as he said, "Younger Brother Ye, you''ve kept me bitterly in the dark! You and I have been acquainted for so many days, and I actually didn''t know that you were even a Sword Path expert! What made me even more astonished was that you actually even comprehended supreme true intent!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not that I intentionally hid it. It''s just that I didn''t have the chance to take action these few days. Moreover, even if I comprehended supreme true intent, my cultivation realm is still a little too low when all is said and done."


    Right now, all the people in the city knew that an Alchemy Path genius appeared on Ancient Opulence Street, and even crushed Alchemy Saint He.


    But the world did not know that this Alchemy Path genius was also a Martial Path genius at the same time!


    A Martial Path genius who comprehended supreme true intent!


    Although Ye Yuan''s supreme true intent had yet to be perfected, to a holy land, there were not many people able to comprehend a supreme true intent in total as well.


    One should not look at how Jun Tianyu''s strength was formidable and not far from comprehending supreme true intent either. But to really reach the point of comprehending the elementary form of supreme true intent, he still had a very long way to go.


    As for reaching perfection, it would probably be his life''s pursuit.


    While Ye Yuan''s supreme true intent was clearly not too far away from perfection already!


    To such a young martial artist, this was simply an inconceivable thing.


    "Younger Brother Ye, you really astound me too greatly! Even for super holy lands'' geniuses, there aren''t many able to comprehend supreme true intent at your age either! If holy lands know that you comprehended Sword Dao to this kind of extent, they will definitely treat you like a treasure," Jun Tianyu said.


    "Huhu, I don''t like to be waited upon by other people nor do I need to be attended to by others as well. Brother Jun, leave this matter aside for the time being. Let''s exchange notes properly on Sword Dao these few days. Hopefully, it can be of assistance to you," Ye Yuan said.


    Jun Tianyu nodded and said, "That will be for the best!"


    These few years, although Jun Tianyu delayed some cultivation time because of Liu Yiru''s affairs, the main thing was still that he fell into a bottleneck.


    Not everyone could be like Ye Yuan, comprehending true intent by admiring the sight of a blossom shower.


    And on this point, no one was able to help Jun Tianyu transcend the bottleneck.


    But Ye Yuan was different. His comprehension on Sword Dao was extremely deep and already touched the true meaning of Great Dao.


    Him giving pointers to Jun Tianyu frequently let him have a feeling of suddenly being enlightened.


    Having an expert to give pointers when at this kind of bottleneck would yield the effect of twice the result with half the effort.


    And Ye Yuan did not have the intention of holding back either, talking about his own comprehension towards Sword Dao for Jun Tianyu to hear.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that this trip probably would not go that smoothly. Therefore, the stronger Jun Tianyu''s strength was, the more assurance regarding their safety.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not idle away himself either.


    For this trip, Ye Yuan did not stint to employ the chaos gems to slow down the flow of time!


    With the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, Ye Yuan did not lack earth essence crystals for the time being now. All sorts of resources piling up, he broke through his bottleneck very quickly.


    Cultivating nearly for six month in the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan broke through two minor boundaries in a row and finally broke through to the Fourth Level Divine Traversing Realm, reaching middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm!


    But after reaching middle-stage Divine Traversing Realm, Ye Yuan''s consumption of resources became even scarier.


    The 100 thousand merit points earned from He Shuming there was actually expended fully in these six months.


    For He Shuming, 100 thousand merit points, it was actually not considered much. But to the Ancient Opulence City''s ordinary martial artists, it was absolutely an astronomical figure.


    And Ye Yuan actually only broke through two minor cultivation realms after using finish these 100 thousand merit points.


    If he let other martial artists knew, they would definitely let loose a torrent of abuse that he was prodigal.


    But Ye Yuan had no choice too. Each time he broke through a minor cultivation realm now, the essence energy required was several times of ordinary martial artists. The medicinal pills expended was naturally sizable too.


    Fortunately, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s business these few days was extremely good. Ye Yuan spent fast, earned even faster.


    From the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opening for business until now, it was merely 10 short days. And in these 10 day''s time, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion already completed the counteroffensive against the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, virtually monopolizing the medicinal pill business of all martial artists under Boundless Realm.


    There was no other choice; the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s Tier 5 medicinal pills were cheap and good. Only a fool would not come and buy.


    And the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s approach squeezed the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company enough for them to choke.


    Their discount sale was originally only planning on carrying out for a month. But now, they were forced to continue the discount indefinitely.


    Zuo Xin originally thought that a month''s time was sufficient to take down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Who knew that he was squeezed until he had no mood to have a temper now.


    Except, even if the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company lowered prices to sell Tier 5 medicinal pills now, the Ancient Opulence City''s martial artists still did not buy it. This reduced the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s profit margin even more.


    No advantage in quality, no advantage in price. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company fell into a huge predicament all at once, their profits shrinking by a large margin.


    In just ten days, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s profits directly shrunk by 40%!


    This kind of situation delighted Qian-er and Li Huisheng greatly.


    Being suppressed by the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company for so many years, this turnover battle was fought extremely beautifully!


    Although they lost 20% profit because they offended Ye Yuan, they still had a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment now.


    The one even happier was Yu Ming. This feeling of sitting at home and counting money was simply too awesome.


    Ye Yuan gave Yu Ming 5% shares. Although it was only 5%, he got rich overnight now as well.


    The feeling of counting money until one''s hands had cramps was simply too wonderful.


    Yu Ming still had a feeling like he was dreaming until now.


    But these few days, he also learned many things following behind Li Huisheng.


    Ye Yuan handed such an important matter to him. He naturally did not dare to be perfunctory.


    Yu Ming was a clever person. He knew that everything today was all given by Ye Yuan.


    His emotional investment had already received immense return. But to want to sustain, it required even more hard work.


    Ye Yuan lacked a competent helper in the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, and if he did not perform well, there would naturally be people to come and replace him.


    Just as the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s limelight was extremely flourishing, Ying Tianya finally dropped in.

 741 Stone Stakes

    "Alchemy Saint He, Master Ye, we''ll rest and reorganize for a bit in Clear Reed City, then head for that ancient grotto. That grotto isn''t far from here. I worry that the long night will be fraught with dreams. Better to enter earlier."


    Ying Tianya and the others came to a neighboring city, Clear Reed City, through the transmission array.


    But after Ying Tianya arrived here, he seemed unwilling to stay in the city. No idea if it was concern about his junior, or things he wished to hide.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan and the rest naturally did not have objections.


    This trip, Ying Tianya brought along Luo Fang and several late-stage Boundless Realm followers. The party of eight to nine people was rather conspicuous.


    On He Shuming''s side, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company also sent out a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist to protect him.


    In this group of people, just the Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses were as many as five.


    Of course, He Shuming this Heaven Enlightenment Realm was basically equivalent to useless, a little better than nothing.


    Along the way, He Shuming naturally faced Ye Yuan with fierce glares, but Ye Yuan had an indifferent air.


    Towards this kind of ridiculous provocation, he did not care at all.


    As long as the Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist he brought could not beat Jun Tianyu, naturally, no one dared to touch him.


    Through Ye Yuan''s bout of giving pointers, Jun Tianyu finally advanced another level on sword intent.


    Although he still did not comprehend a supreme true intent, he found the path to comprehending a supreme true intent.


    The party stopped over for a short while, then they headed straight for that ancient grotto.


    The ancient grotto was situated on a chain of mountain ranges. Ying Tianya actually found the grotto''s entrance directly through no idea what kind of means.


    Accurately speaking, it was a stretch of precipices.


    Everyone looked for a long time, but there was no entrance at all, only ice-cold rocks.


    Ying Tianya frowned and said, "How can it be? It should be here. Why isn''t there an entrance?"


    He Shuming said, "City Lord Your Excellency, could it be wrong?"


    Ying Tianya slowly shook his head and said, "The location Junior Apprentice Brother transmitted to me is definitely here beyond doubt. It''s just that there is no entrance. How did he enter? Everybody split up and search, see if there are any places resembling an entrance."


    Those subordinates he brought all scattered, searching for the ancient grotto''s entrance in the surroundings.


    Very soon, someone shouted, "City Lord Your Excellency, there''s a stretch of stone stakes here!"


    Everyone went over to take a look. Indeed, they saw a stretch of stone stakes 500 feet in circumference.


    "It''s an array formation! As long as we crack the array formation, we''ll be able to enter the grotto!" He Shuming said with an excited look.


    Regarding breaking into the ancient grotto this time, Ying Tianya made a solemn promise to not only give He Shuming a large reward, but the things obtained this trip would also belong to himself.


    Therefore, He Shuming was still quite enthusiastic about this exploration.


    Speaking of which, He Shuming was indeed an alchemist whose strength was rather formidable. Not only did he reach the Alchemy Saint Realm in pill refinement, but he also reached Tier 7 level in the Formations Path too. Therefore, he recognized that these stone stakes were an array formation with a glance.


    Ying Tianya was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "Does Alchemy Saint He have any confidence in crack this set of array formation?"


    He Shuming smiled and said, "Leave it to me! If even I can''t do it, everyone can only just look on powerlessly as well. However �� City Lord Your Excellency, in our agreement for this trip, it didn''t include this segment!"


    Among the people present, there was only him, one Tier 7 array master. If even he could not do it either, then indeed no one could do it.


    Except, He Shuming did not know that among this group of people, there was still a Tier 9 array master.


    He Shuming''s view was around the same as Jun Tianyu''s. Ye Yuan had immensely high attainments in alchemy. In other areas, he was probably just a normal person.


    Ye Yuan naturally recognized that these stone stakes were a set of array formation with a glance. But he had not seen this set of array formation before.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan perceived that even though this array formation''s rank was not high, there were several areas extremely easy to make mistakes.


    The person who set up the array formation clearly wanted to intentionally induce people to be duped.


    Ye Yuan was originally planning on making a move. But looking at He Shuming being so enthusiastic, he could only shut his mouth and not speak.


    This trip, his strength was the weakest. Better to be more low-profile.


    If He Shuming was really able to crack the array formation, then it was naturally good. But if he could not, it was also not late for him to step forward then.


    It was just that since the owner of the grotto dug so many traps, their group of people was probably going to suffer some hardships.


    He Shuming blackmailing right away, Ying Tianya naturally had unhappiness in his heart.


    Except, at this sort of time now, where would he go to find another array master?


    "Alchemy Saint He, rest assured; after I rescue my junior, the rewards promised to you will add another 10%!" Ying Tianya said.


    He Shuming was overjoyed once he heard and said, "Heh, it''s still City Lord Your Excellency who is straightforward! This He will crack the array formation right away!"


    As he said, he came to the middle of the stone stakes and directly pushed a stone stake that was slightly higher all the way underground.


    These stone stakes had different heights. The thickness was different too. The method to crack it was to press down some crucial stone stakes.


    This area of land had around a thousand stone stakes. The array formation formed was also quite profound.


    After He Shuming pressed down one stone stake, he stopped for a moment and found another stone stake to press down.


    When Ye Yuan saw He Shuming press down the first stone stake, he involuntarily shook his head slightly.


    But Jun Tianyu noticed this minute action of Ye Yuan and asked softly, "Why? Anything wrong with He Shuming?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Very wrong. This guy bragged so confidently, I even thought that he has some skill. Didn''t think that the first step was wrong! Be careful in a while, there will probably be something unforeseen."


    Jun Tianyu was slightly startled in his heart when he heard but secretly went on alert.


    He didn''t think that Ye Yuan was actually even proficient in the Formations Path!


    This guy, what did he not know?


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s words, Jun Tianyu did not have much doubts. Because he had long witnessed Ye Yuan''s prowess before.


    Crack!


    He Shuming pressed a stone stake down once again. All of a sudden, it seemed to have triggered something. Everyone''s faces changed.


    "Not good! Everyone, be careful!" Ying Tianya cried out.


    His voice had yet to fade when countless arrows shot out from all directions, interweaving into a large dense net, enveloping everyone inside!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The power of the arrows was extremely strong. Even Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse had to respond cautiously too.


    "You few, come to my side!" Ying Tianya said to those few Boundless Realm followers.


    With this, Ye Yuan finally experienced Ying Tianya''s strength.


    He abruptly released essence energy out, wrapping those few followers inside immediately.


    Countless arrows pierced right through his essence energy barrier, but became weak and feeble, without any threat at all.


    But He Shuming did not have such formidable strength.


    Even though he was Heaven Enlightenment Realm too, his strength was too poor.


    Although his essence energy protective screen was able to defend against those arrows as well, it caused considerable injuries to him. This was still under the circumstances where that Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse he brought here helped him block the majority of the arrows.


    The arrows lasted roughly 15 minutes time before ceasing completely.


    The clothes on He Shuming''s body was already poked into a hornet''s nest by the arrows. He suffered external wounds that were not light himself too; looking very miserable.


    What made him even more awkward was that he solemnly pledged to crack the formation earlier. The result was that it actually ended up like this. His face involuntarily felt as if it was burning red-hot.

 742 Not like Some People, Only Know How to Brag

    "Alchemy Saint He, didn''t you say leave it to you just now? Is this how you guarantee things?" Ying Tianya said with a grim look.


    Earlier, He Shuming raising the price on the spot, Ying Tianya tolerated it in order to go in.


    But the result was great. This fellow smacked his own chest so loudly but incurred a body full of stench. It would be weird if Ying Tianya could have a good temper.


    He Shuming had an embarrassed look but said unconvincingly, "My method to crack the array was clearly fine. But why was it this kind of situation? Could it be that the way to open the door is not to crack the array?"


    The moment Ying Tianya heard, his brows could not help furrowing.


    Concerning He Shuming''s ability, he was still aware of it. He shouldn''t be shooting his mouth off. After all, he received injuries himself earlier too.


    Playing this kind of games had no benefits to him at all.


    Could it be that this was really not the way to enter the ancient grotto?


    "Why not, I give it a try?" Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    When Ying Tianya heard, he said in slight amazement, "You? Master Ye actually even knows array formations?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Know a thing or two."


    "Bullshit! I clearly already cracked the array formation just now. These stone stakes are simply used to delude people. Boy, don''t add more to the disarray. Could it be that you still want those things just now to come one more time?" He Shuming interjected.


    He Shuming saying these words naturally had his selfish calculations.


    On the one hand, he really felt that he already cracked the formation just now, but he did not get the desired outcome.


    On the other hand, he was also somewhat afraid of Ye Yuan, afraid that he could really crack the formation.


    Through the past two incidents, He Shuming was already very apprehensive towards Ye Yuan. He always felt that Ye Yuan was very freaky. God knows if he really knew array formations or not.


    Indeed, once He Shuming said this, Ying Tianya began to hesitate.


    Although those arrows earlier were formidable, it was still barely manageable. If a big one came again, they might just have to all perish here.


    This ancient grotto was clearly not some friendly land. Otherwise, there also would not be so many mechanisms coming out before even entering the grotto.


    But Ye Yuan shot He Shuming an indifferent glance and said, "Cracked the array formation? You really boast shamelessly! Your first step was already wrong and you actually even thought that you cracked the array formation. Ignorant to your kind of level is also considered to have reached a certain realm!"


    He Shuming''s expression changed, but he said stubbornly, "Heh, you say wrong, means it''s wrong? Boy, don''t pretend to know when you don''t know! This set of array formation is definitely an ancient array formation. Even if you really know array formations, how can you possibly see through the profundities of the array formation with a single glance?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Is that so? The first stone stake you pressed down, that''s a trap. This is actually not hard to differentiate. You look closely yourself, and you''ll know."


    The moment He Shuming heard this, his gaze involuntarily looked towards the stone stake once more.


    He Shuming scanned for a short while, then his face suddenly revealed an expression of sudden realization. But he reacted very quickly and hurriedly put away his expression.


    But it was already too late. Who was Ying Tianya? The changes in the expression on He Shuming''s face was long taken into his sights.


    Ying Tianya gave a cold snort, but did not pay attention to He Shuming anymore, and said to Ye Yuan with clasped hands, "Master Ye, I''ll have to trouble you to take action to crack this array formation."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and directly entered among the stone stakes with a leap.


    Different from He Shuming doing it step by step, Ye Yuan was already very clear regarding this array formation in his heart, so he did not stop the slightest bit at all, pressing down one stone stake by one stone stake right away.


    When He Shuming saw Ye Yuan''s actions, his gaze involuntarily sharpened as he smacked his thigh and said, "My word! Why didn''t I think of that! So that''s how it is!"


    As he was saying, He Shuming suddenly felt Ying Tianya''s gaze and said with a somber face, "This punk must have watched me crack the formation first before perceiving the deceitful trick in it! City Lord Your Excellency, you mustn''t be deceived by him!"


    "Huhu, He Shuming, all the way until today, only now did I know that the word shameless was created specially for you. When you pushed down the first stone stake earlier, Ye Yuan already said that you got it wrong. Which also means that he already cracked this set of array formation long ago. You''re actually still claiming credit for yourself. Truly shameless to the extreme!" The Jun Tianyu who was silent all along suddenly said with a laugh.


    He Shuming was just about to rebuke, only to hear a creak. Ye Yuan already pressed the final stone stake down.


    Rumble!


    The originally bare cliff actually started to fragment at this time, forming the shape of a massive door!


    And this large door was currently opening slowly.


    This array formation was actually really the key to opening the ancient grotto!


    "Hahaha! Master Ye is indeed impressive! Not like some people, only know how to brag!"


    Ying Tianya was also filled with displeasure towards He Shuming right now. It was just that he might still need him to take action at the back, that he did not fall out.


    Thinking back now, He Shuming was clearly that sort with superficial knowledge. Boasted to the skies, but could not do it at all, and even extorted a price right away.


    Ye Yuan, in contrast, he was already crystal clear about the array formation made up of these stone stakes long ago, but he did not mention a word about remuneration.


    With this contrast, the two party''s disparity was too huge.


    This He Shuming clearly hung around inside the trading company for a long time, his body exuding the stink of profit-seeking mentality all over, turning people off.


    He Shuming had a gloomy expression and did not say a single word by the side. But he hated Ye Yuan even more bitterly to the core.


    "Inside this ancient grotto, if there''s a chance, you must kill this boy!" He Shuming transmitted to his companion.


    "Okay!" responded his companion, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm expert.


    "Since the entrance of this ancient grotto is already opened, the matter brooks no delay. Let''s hurry in!"


    Ying Tianya was clearly eager to rescue and about to move inside immediately.


    "Wait a minute!" Ye Yuan said in a low voice.


    "En? Master Ye, is there anything wrong?" Ying Tianya said curiously.


    "Someone is lying in wait at the side!" Ye Yuan said.


    Ying Tianya was startled inwardly and could not help looking around. They had already been here for a period of time, and he actually did not discover that there were people lying in wait at the side!


    "Hahaha, Ying Tianya, you came to my territory, but why didn''t you let me know? Everyone is familiar with each other. You got to at least let me perform the duties of a host, no?"


    The moment the voice rang out, over a dozen figures leaped up, surrounding Ying Tianya''s group in the center.


    When Ying Tianya saw the arrival, his expression involuntarily darkened. "Pei Wenqiang, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Pei Wenqiang looked at Ying Tianya with an amused look and said smilingly, "Ying Tianya, these words, I should be the one asking you, right? You came to my territory to conduct illegal activities. As Clear Reed City''s City Lord, shouldn''t I investigate a bit?"


    Ying Tianya said with a cold sneer, "Heh, investigate? You guys hide at the side furtively. You probably don''t have good intentions, right?"


    Pei Wenqiang laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Haha �� If not for you leading the way, this City Lord would really not know that there was still such a secret grotto in my own domain! Furthermore, you all even opened the front door for this seat already. Really thanks a lot!"


    Pei Wenqiang suddenly looked at Ye Yuan and said, "A Divine Traversing Realm brat who''s not only able crack an array formation that even a Tier 7 array master couldn''t crack, he''s even able to discover us, these people who ate Breath Concealing Pills. Truly quite capable!"

 743 Soliciting

    "Initially, I couldn''t discover you people either. But the moment I cracked the array, someone amongst you guys became emotionally agitated, giving a trace of yourselves away," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The Breath Concealing Pill was not considered a very ingenious medicinal pill in the Divine Realm. But it was a very practical medicinal pill. It was a very decent medicinal pill to use for lying low and tracking.


    It was just that the flaw of the Breath Concealing Pill was as obvious as its application, that was that the breath could not have the slightest trace of undulation. Otherwise, one would be exposed.


    That instant Ye Yuan cracked the formation just now, when the ancient grotto opened up, there was clearly someone who was overly surprised when seeing this scene, resulting in revealing a trace of a flaw.


    But even so, that hint of a flaw was definitely extremely minute. Otherwise, it was also not possible that even Ying Tianya and Jun Tianyu, this kind of powerhouses, did not discover it.


    Yet, this tiny trace of flaw was captured by Ye Yuan.


    Pei Wenqiang glared fiercely at the group of people behind, clearly very discontented by them making this sort of low-level mistake.


    The people Pei Wenqiang brought over were much stronger compared to Ying Tianya''s group of people. Just the Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses were as many as seven to eight.


    In terms of strength, they absolutely overpowered Ye Yuan''s side.


    Therefore, even if exposed, he had nothing to fear too.


    Pei Wenqiang sized Ye Yuan up and suddenly said with a smile, "Boy, from just now, I''ve constantly been observing you. When that idiot triggered the arrows, I even thought that you were dead for sure. But I didn''t expect that those arrows didn''t even touch the fine hair on your body! Later, you cracked the array formation and even detected our existence. Truly remarkable! Boy, come and work for me, how about that? What Ying Tianya can give you, I''ll double it! No, I''ll give you triple!"


    Ying Tianya could not help being startled inwardly when he heard that. He did not expect that Pei Wenqiang would actually snatch away his people right in front of him!


    And he also did not notice that Ye Yuan actually relied on his own ability to withstand the arrows earlier and even thought that it was Jun Tianyu assisting by the side.


    The might of those arrows earlier was absolutely not what a Divine Traversing Realm could withstand.


    But Pei Wenqiang said that those arrows did not even touch the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves!


    Without any doubt, apart from pill refining, Ye Yuan still had many abilities that he did not know of. And these abilities were very likely to have an impact on the success or failure of this trip!


    The price which Pei Wenqiang gave, anyone would be moved.


    He did not have much restricting relationship with Ye Yuan at all. If Ye Yuan really threw his lot in with the other party, then his losses would be huge.


    "Ye Yuan, Pei Wenqiang this guy ��"


    Ying Tianya was just about to speak but was stopped by Ye Yuan with a hand gesture.


    "City Lord Pei, I''m grateful that you think highly of me. Joining your side is no issue."


    Hearing these words, Ying Tianya''s expression became ugly to the extreme, while Pei Wenqiang had a delighted look.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly switched his tune, "But it will have to wait until after this trip wraps up."


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression darkened, and he said, "Are you messing with me?"


    Ye Yuan said with an innocent face, "How can this be called messing with you? This Ye has my own principles when doing things. I''ve already promised City Lord Ying for this trip, and I naturally have to do what was entrusted to me. After this trip is over, there naturally won''t be any binding relationship between him and me too. At that time, wouldn''t joining Clear Reed City satisfy both sides?"


    Pei Wenqiang said with a cold sneer, "Brat, looks like you still haven''t figured out the current situation!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "I''m very clear about the current situation! You want to kill us, of course, it can be done. But you at least have to pay the price of five to six people dying! If my conjectures are right, these few people should be the majority of the elites under you, right? If they all die, what right will you have to explore this ancient grotto? Of course, you can also report the situation here to the holy land and let the holy land send people to come and explore. But what has that got to do with you, City Lord Manor Pei?"


    Pei Wenqiang laughed coldly and said, "Five to six people? You''re thinking too highly of Ying Tianya, no? He''s my vanquished foe!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Who I''m talking about is naturally not City Lord Ying. Brother Jun is very famous in Ancient Opulence City. He once exterminated an Ancient Opulence City''s major aristocratic family by himself. Dealing with three to four people shouldn''t be an issue, right?"


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression changed as he said, "You''re that Jun Tianyu!"


    Jun Tianyu said indifferently, "It''s precisely this Jun!"


    Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised though. He did not expect that Jun Tianyu''s reputation was actually so great. Even Pei Wenqiang actually knew about him.


    Ying Tianya perceived Ye Yuan''s doubt and explained, "The holy land solicited Jun Tianyu before but was rejected by him. Jun Tianyu is someone likely to comprehend a supreme true intent. The holy land naturally values him greatly."


    Only then did Ye Yuan come to a realization. Turns out that Jun Tianyu was an outstanding talent grazing in the wild.


    Ordinary people getting a holy land''s solicitation would definitely join without any hesitation.


    After all, the resources in a holy land were far from what a small city like Ancient Opulence City could compare to.


    But Jun Tianyu was an exception. He rejected the holy land''s invitation without any hesitation.


    "Brother Jun''s decision is correct! Going to the holy land will only bury his talent. People who practice the sword devotes particular attention on freedom and being themselves. Where the person is going, the sword is headed. Although the resources of a holy land are generous, it will also restrain a martial artist''s body and mind, restricting his comprehension towards Sword Dao from there. Since time immemorial, all the people who had supreme accomplishments in Sword Dao were mostly factionless," Ye Yuan evaluated.


    Jun Tianyu smiled when he heard that and said, "My parents gave birth to me, but Ye Yuan alone understands me! Hahaha!"


    His actions were even denounced by many people back then. He did not expect that many years later, he would be fervently supported by Ye Yuan, making him have a feeling of sharing the same views and path.


    Moreover, Jun Tianyu knew that Ye Yuan''s comprehension in Sword Dao flung him several streets behind. Saying this sort of words naturally had the greatest right to speak.


    This also proved that his choice back then was correct!


    Except that although he knew Ye Yuan''s master of the Sword Dao, the others did not.


    "Humph! A Divine Traversing Realm boy babbling about Sword Dao. Truly don''t know what you''re talking about! Fine, consider it your win! However �� you guys all walk in front for me!" Pei Wenqiang said somberly.


    He also did not expect that Ying Tianya actually brought Jun Tianyu here. This indeed made it rather troublesome for him.


    Therefore, Pei Wenqiang changed his mind at the last minute and decided to explore this ancient grotto together with Ying Tianya''s party.


    Finding these guys to be cannon fodders seemed to be a pretty good choice too.


    "You! Pei Wenqiang, don''t go too overboard! On what basis should we scout the path for you?" Ying Tianya said furiously.


    "Hehe, based on that my strength is greater than yours! If you feel discontented, feel free to clash with me!" Pei Wenqiang said with a smug look.


    Even if Jun Tianyu was here, their side''s strength was still absolutely powerful.


    Eight Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses. This was absolutely a rather terrifying force.


    Ye Yuan gave Ying Tianya a signal with his eyes and said, "Fine then, you''re ruthless. We''ll take the lead then."


    Just like this, a group of people entered one by one into the ancient grotto.


    After their figures vanished in the cave, rumbling sounds came from behind. The precipice actually changed, returning to its appearance before they cracked the formation array.


    Seeing this sort of situation, Pei Wenqiang''s expression changed.


    "Hehe, looks like the way out is already cut off. We can only advance forward," Ying Tianya said with a cold smile.

 744 Lotus Platform

    After entering the ancient grotto, there was a stretch of open area before their eyes. But very soon, someone discovered something amiss.


    "En? Inside this grotto seems to have formed a universe of its own. I''m actually unable to fly!"


    Everyone was alarmed inwardly when they heard that. Maneuvering essence energy a little, they discovered that they were indeed unable to fly!


    "This grotto is indeed extremely bizarre. No wonder with Junior Apprentice Brother''s strength, he got trapped here too!" Ying Tianya said with furrowed brows.


    "En? Junior Apprentice Brother? You''re talking about �� Xu Yan?" Pei Wenqiang appeared rather surprised.


    Ying Tianya nodded and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother unintentionally discovered this grotto, but he did not expect to get trapped here. I only knew about here after I received his transmission."


    Pei Wenqiang said in astonishment when he heard that, "Xu Yan''s abilities are above yours and mine. Even he got trapped here ��"


    Hearing the two people''s conversation, everyone''s hearts tightened too. Looks like this grotto was not some easy to get along place.


    Just how strong the strength of the Xu Yan from their mouths was, nobody knew. But it could be confirmed that he was stronger than these two mighty city lords!


    Even that Xu Yan got trapped here. How the result of this trip would be was not easy to say.


    But He Shuming''s expression changed and he said, "City Lord Ying, you didn''t say that your junior''s strength is even more powerful than yours!"


    Actually, this was the idea of whoever entered first was the master. Although situations of juniors being stronger than seniors were common, under the vast majority of circumstances, the seniors'' strength were all stronger than the juniors.


    When He Shuming heard that Ying Tianya''s junior got trapped in the ancient grotto but had not died yet, he instinctively felt that this trip''s danger was not high.


    Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to come here.


    Ying Tianya said coolly, "I didn''t say, you didn''t ask either, no?''


    "You!" He Shuming choked up right away.


    Pei Wenqiang''s eyes swiveled around, and he said with a smile, "Ying Tianya, this is your fault! Breaking into such a dangerous place, you got to at least make clear the relation of interest and harm with your companions. This current sort of situation, aren''t you clearly cheating people?"


    "Pei Wenqiang, can you be any more shameless?" Ying Tianya said with a cold snort.


    This sort of sowing dissension method was indeed overly obvious. He Shuming was not a fool either. How could he possibly not tell?


    But one had to acknowledge that Pei Wenqiang''s words had indeed struck the bottom of his heart.


    Moreover, now that the story played out like this, how could He Shuming not perceive that Ying Tianya deliberately concealed the danger level of this trip? He was afraid that he and Ye Yuan would not be willing to come, so he did not state clearly.


    Though the method was a little coarse and shallow, the effects were excellent.


    Actually, Pei Wenqiang was not concerned with He Shuming''s mood. He secretly scanned Ye Yuan''s expression, but the result made him very disappointed.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very calm all the way, as if he did not hear it. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    "Alright, alright, everyone says a few words less. The way out is already cut off now, saying anything is also late already. Everybody better advance ahead and explore. If there''s anything, exiting this grotto then talk about it isn''t late either." Luo Fang immediately stepped forward to smooth things over when he saw that the situation was not good.


    This current sort of situation, everyone did not have other alternatives either, and could only continue advancing forward.


    Before long, a large river blocked in front of everybody.


    "This �� We''re all unable to fly. This large river has no bridge too. How should we cross?"


    This large river was bare on the surface and did not even have a bridge. Everyone was immediately stunned.


    Right now, everyone was all unable to fly. Could it be that they all had to wade through the river?


    Ye Yuan''s gaze flashed briefly, and he casually tore off a corner of his sleeves and threw it in the water.


    The silk quality of his clothes was very soft and very light. But the moment it fell into the water, it actually vanished right away, sinking to the bottom of the water!


    He Shuming could not help exclaiming in shock when he saw the situation. "Weak Water! This is definitely Weak Water! 800 miles of quicksand world, three thousand Weak Water deep. Goose feather unable to float, reed catkins sink to the bottom!"


    With He Shuming crying out, everyone''s countenance changed abruptly.


    "Rumor goes that Weak Water stems from the lands of extreme west. Why would it appear here?"


    "Legends has it that Weak Water is untraversable. What should we do now?"


    Everyone exchanged glances and were actually at a loss on what to do for some time.


    Pei Wenqiang mused for a moment, but his gaze landed on Ye Yuan and asked, "Boy, you''re able to discover the peculiarities of it. You must have a way to cross it, right?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists are all helpless. What measures do I, this Divine Traversing Realm rookie, have?"


    Pei Wenqiang looked at Ye Yuan with scorching eyes and then said with a cold smile, "If you have no methods, then you''re useless already. Why not I throw you down the river right away?"


    He turned his head to look at Jun Tianyu and said, "Don''t glare at me with that sort of gaze. No matter how powerful your individual strength is, it''s also impossible to be our match! Moreover, even if you really make a move, you''re probably not my match either."


    Pei Wenqiang had long seen through that Ying Tianya''s side was divided into three factions. Ying Tianya''s own faction, He Shuming''s faction, and Ye Yuan''s faction.


    Ying Tianya''s side''s overall strength was the greatest. Rather, it was Ye Yuan''s side who only had Jun Tianyu alone; easier to knead.


    "Humph! Do you really take this Ying as someone who only knows how to eat rice and does nothing?" Ying Tianya said.


    Pei Wenqiang laughed and said, "That Alchemy Saint clearly doesn''t trust you anymore. Making a move now, you''ll have even less of a chance of victory, no? Therefore, you''d best keep your mouth shut!"


    "You!" Ying Tianya was choked badly by this.


    But his gaze looked towards He Shuming there and discovered that He Shuming seemed to really not have the intention of intervening.


    Very clearly, that side had already completely broken away from this side!


    If they really fought, he might even stand on Pei Wenqiang''s side!


    Pei Wenqiang turned to Ye Yuan again and said smilingly, "How is it? Thought it through yet? Ying Tianya duping you over here clearly have no good intentions. Could it be that you''re still going to work for him?"


    Ye Yuan shot Pei Wenqiang a glance and said, "The path is under your feet. It''s just that you can''t see it."


    "En? What does that mean?" As he was talking, Pei Wenqiang could not resist lowering his head and saw that he just happened to be stepping on a diagram of a lotus platform under his feet.


    "Try using strength to step on it." Ye Yuan said.


    Pei Wenqiang was just about to stamp down, but he changed his mind at the last minute and said to Ye Yuan, "You step it!"


    Jun Tianyu''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "Better let me!"


    Ye Yuan stopped him with a hand gesture but stomped down with one foot.


    Creak ��


    The next instant, a scene which left everyone dumbfounded happened.


    On that large Weak Water river, one lotus platforms after another actually appeared! The positions of these lotus platforms were all very disorderly, but between each one was roughly one step''s distance.


    These lotus platforms suspended on top of the Weak Water, leading straight to the opposite shore.


    "This �� just who was this grotto owned by? To actually have such mystical means! With these lotus platforms, we can reach the opposite bank!"


    A boundless realm martial artist was incomparably agitated and raised his foot, wanting to go and test if these lotus platforms were solid or not.


    "Don''t step on it!" Ye Yuan cried out, but it was already too late.


    That boundless realm martial artist actually trod on emptiness and fell into the large river with a splash!Sounds weird, is weird. Comes from Journey to the west. Possible Zen meaning. I tried to find a summarized explanation, but I could only find anecdotal stuff. Just treat it as poetry.

 745 Lotus Blooming at Every Step

    Gurgle ��


    That Boundless Realm martial artist did not even get to cry out and was engulfed straight away by the Weak Water.


    Everyone was all alarmed when they saw this scene.


    Pei Wenqiang gritted his teeth and said, "Punk, are you messing with me? These lotus platforms are not for use to cross the river at all!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Your subordinate was also too impatient. I even yelled out for him to not take on it, but he just wanted to do it. What could I do?"


    "You!" Pei Wenqiang could not help feeling stifled.


    Everyone all heard clearly just now that Ye Yuan indeed yelled out. It was just that the shout was ''slightly late,'' that was all.


    Ye Yuan''s timing was grasped beautifully. Even Pei Wenqiang could not say anything as well.


    "Punk, don''t play games with me. Otherwise, I''ll throw you down immediately!" Pei Wenqiang threatened.


    "Go ahead and throw. I want to see just how you cross the river! Don''t blame me for not warning you, these lotus platforms are real and illusory. One wrong step and you''ll fall into the Weak Water!" Ye Yuan said.


    "What do you mean?" Pei Wenqiang said grimly.


    "These lotus platforms are indeed objects for crossing the river. It''s just that each lotus platform was refined and formed through special methods. An array formation is inscribed on top of each one. And these lotus platforms together make up another large-scale array formation. If one doesn''t know the way to clear the hurdle, they will be like that subordinate of yours, treading onto nothing and falling into the river!" Ye Yuan explained.


    Everyone drew a cold breath when they heard. They did not expect that there were actually still such mystical objects.


    Looks like the means of ancient martial artists were truly not what could be compared to presently!


    "Which is also to say that apart from Ye Yuan, you, there is no one able to cross this river?" Ying Tianya said.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn''t say that. Isn''t there still an array master here? Maybe he has ways?"


    Everyone could not help looking over towards He Shuming. He Shuming''s face felt as if ti was burning-hot. He naturally also perceived that these lotus platforms were formed from array formations. But to talk about being able to cross these lotus platforms, he did not have any confidence at all.


    "Enough crap! Start crossing the river now! You go on the lotus platform first!" Pei Wenqiang said with an impatient face.


    "Fine, fine, fine. Your fist is big, whatever you say goes!" Ye Yuan walked in front of the first row of lotus platforms with a helpless look.


    Everyone all held their breaths, waiting for Ye Yuan to take the first step!


    Actually, the people on Pei Wenqiang''s side and He Shuming all hoped for Ye Yuan to fall right down. But they were also worried that after Ye Yuan dropped down, they would really have no way of crossing the river. Then there was only waiting to die here.


    Ye Yuan did not walk onto the lotus platform right away, but slowly shut his eyes, his entire person entering a state of emptiness.


    In an instant, the positions of all of the lotus platforms were all imprinted inside Ye Yuan''s mind!


    "Heart Like Monolith! Terrific, boy! I really don''t know how you, this brat, cultivate. To actually be so monstrous!"


    The knowledge and experience of the Divine Realm''s people were far from comparable to the Lower Realms. The moment Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith heart realm, it was discovered by Pei Wenqiang.


    Of course, the ones shocked were not only Pei Wenqiang. There was even Ying Tianya and Jun Tianyu.


    Pei Wenqiang did not know, but the two of them knew that Ye Yuan ascended from the Lower Realms.


    A Lower Realms martial artist was actually able to comprehend Heart Like Monolith. This was simply something inconceivable.


    Especially Jun Tianyu, he discovered that the more time he spent with Ye Yuan, the less his understanding of Ye Yuan was instead.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan opened his eyes at this time and slowly lifted his right foot, stepping onto a lotus platform in front!


    The other martial artists were all nearly suffocating. They very much wanted to see what kind of outcome Ye Yuan''s feet stepping down would be.


    Ye Yuan''s right foot slowly landed and finally stepped onto the lotus platform.


    Tread down solidly!


    With this, everyone''s suspended hearts finally eased up!


    "Excellent! Turns out that these platforms really can cross the river!" someone said excitedly.


    However, when Ye Yuan placed his other foot onto the lotus platform too, a scene which made them stare with their mouths agape happened!


    Apart from that lotus platform Ye Yuan stood on, all of the lotus platforms vanished without a trace!


    "This �� What''s going on here? Where are those lotus platforms? Only one lotus platform, how to cross the river?" Pei Wenqiang said as his expression changed.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but turned right and tread out a foot directly!


    Ye Yuan''s feet landed right onto a lotus platform without deviation, while that lotus platform he stood on previously likewise vanished from sight.


    "This �� how can it be like this?"


    The hearts of the martial artists which had just eased up tightened up once again.


    Only when there were people on the lotus platform, would it manifest itself. When there was no one, the lotus platforms would not appear!


    Which was also to say that if one did not remember the positions of the lotus platforms, it was very likely to step onto nothing and drop down!


    The lotus platforms were not large; just nice able to put down both feet.


    If it was like this, then it could only be one after another. Furthermore, there must not be any bit of error at all! Even if one stepped wrongly by half a foot, it was the possibility of falling down too!


    Like this, it was easier for those at the front to not make mistakes. But the people behind, who could guarantee not making errors at all, stepping exactly onto the footprints of that person before?


    Moreover, the further they walked, everyone''s footsteps would more or less have some minute deviations. The likelihood of falling down was greater too!


    This way, who walked at the front was very important!


    Pei Wenqiang stood on the position Ye Yuan was standing at before with a leap without any words; not the slightest bit off.


    "Clear Reed City''s martial artists, all follow me closely! Don''t step wrongly! Heaven Enlightenment Realms in front, Boundless Realms behind! One after another, look closely under other people''s feet!" Pei Wenqiang said.


    "Humph! What right do your Clear Reed City''s people have to go first? Going on these lotus platforms, who cares about who? At most, fight it out to the death!" Ying Tianya said with a cold snort.


    "You! Fine, you go first! Our two sides go one by one. You have no objections now, right?"


    Under this sort of circumstances, Pei Wenqiang had no choice but to compromise too.


    If they were to fight on these lotus platforms, all of them were doomed!


    Jun Tianyu did not speak at all by the side. Suddenly, he received Ye Yuan''s transmission in his sea of consciousness, saying, "Brother Jun, this is the lotus platforms'' distribution diagram. You memorize the positions well. Make sure not to step wrongly!"


    The voice had yet to fade when inside his sea of consciousness actually had an additional diagram. It was precisely that the distribution diagram of those lotus platforms previously.


    Jun Tianyu was astonished inwardly. He did not think that Ye Yuan was actually able to portray such a distribution diagram with the power of the divine soul. It was truly fantastical.


    "Okay, I''ve memorized it," Jun Tianyu replied.


    "Aren''t you guys moving yet? I''m leaving first!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took a step out right away, stepping onto a lotus platform once more.


    "Punk, you''re ballsy!" Pei Wenqiang roared, but his feet did not dare to remain, hastily catching up.


    Ye Yuan''s footsteps did not stop at all but became increasingly faster instead.


    He knew the distribution situation of the lotus platforms like the palm of his hand. The places he stepped was also not the slightest bit off.


    Pei Wenqiang followed step by step behind and did not have the time to think about other things at all. His pair of eyes glued tightly at Ye Yuan''s legs, not daring to make any mistake at all!

 746 Sink into the Water

    "Everybody, keep up. Make sure not to step wrongly!"


    Everyone was not allowed to think too much either. The martial artists at the back all kept in pace one after another.


    Of course, the Boundless Realms could only stare blankly and did not dare to go up at all.


    This place had a bunch of Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses. Wasn''t snatching with them courting death?


    Jun Tianyu did not have the intention of moving, while He Shuming and his companion followed after the Clear Reed City''s martial artists.


    Only after they all went up did Jun Tianyu take his time to step onto the lotus platform.


    Only after, was it those Boundless Realm martial artists.


    These Boundless Realm martial artists'' strength were meager but benefited from Jun Tianyu inadvertently.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s steps were getting faster and faster. Towards the back, he actually used one foot to step onto the lotus platforms.


    Even if Pei Wenqiang''s strength was exceedingly great, his forehead was also matted with sweat beads.


    All the nerves in his body were tightly wound up, fearful of making a hint of mistake. If he missed a step, that was no joke.


    He did not have Ye Yuan''s Heart Like Monolith powerful heart realm and was unable to accurately determine the positions of each lotus platform.


    There were around 10 thousand lotus platforms on the river. Wanting to not make any errors at all along the way was very difficult.


    Some areas still had to be advanced in a roundabout way and not advance forward all the way.


    Ye Yuan could even be face-to-face with the people behind sometimes. It was just that those people were all glued to the feet of the person in front and did not have the energy to go and care about him at all.


    Because Ye Yuan''s speed increase was very sudden, apart from Pei Wenqiang and Ying Tianya, the others were half a beat slower.


    This also made a cut off form between them, and not one following the other.


    When it was just starting, the other martial artists were still able to barely not make mistakes. But towards the back, there was gradually someone unable to sustain anymore!


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic cry. Finally, someone missed a step and fell into the surging river water and was instantly drowned.


    This tragic cry was extremely ear-piercing, startling everyone. The martial artists behind that person all stopped their footsteps and actually did not dare to move anymore.


    The martial artists at the back were covered in sweat and actually did not know where to step!


    In contrast, Ye Yuan bloomed lotuses with each step, akin to strolling idly in a courtyard; leisurely and unhurriedly.


    Before long, Ye Yuan leaped and actually arrived at the opposite shore already.


    While at this time, Pei Wenqiang already fell behind him quite a few lotus platforms.


    But Pei Wenqiang never took his eyes off of Ye Yuan''s footsteps all along and already memorized the positions of these few lotus platforms.


    "You''re courting death, Ye Yuan!"


    Pei Wenqiang landed, the suppressed fury in his heart very much wanting to erupt out.


    This Ye Yuan was clearly walking so fast intentionally, so as to make those people behind all unable to keep up; truly malicious!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "With so many of your subordinates to be buried with me, it isn''t a bad choice either."


    Pei Wenqiang''s face turned black, and he could not help turning around to look at river surface. This shock was by no means trivial.


    Apart from the three of them, everyone all stopped at the center of the large river!


    The person in the lead was precisely his subordinate. That person stood on a lotus platform vacantly. How was there any demeanor of a Heaven Enlightenment Realm expert at this time? He was totally a helpless child.


    "C-City Lord, s-save me!" cried out that martial artist.


    Pei Wenqiang looked at Ye Yuan with a grim face and said through gnashed teeth, "You''re very good! Looks like you really don''t know how the word death is written!"


    Ye Yuan supported his forehead with his hand and said, "Oh no, I''m the most scared of others intimidating me. Once I''m frightened, I''ll become forgetful. Which step is he supposed to take next?"


    Pei Wenqiang gnashed his teeth in anger but was completely helpless. He had his eyes fixed onto Ye Yuan''s footsteps all along just now and did not remember how the whole route should be walked at all.


    Which was also to say that only Ye Yuan had the ability to bring his subordinates over to this side now.


    But Ying Tianya at the sides did not make a sound. He knew that Ye Yuan doing that just now was not just in order to deal with Pei Wenqiang. There was even the intention of warning him in it.


    Concealing the risk of this ancient grotto, although Ye Yuan did not say, it did not mean that he had no complaints at all.


    Ye Yuan was trying to warn him through this incident that without him, Ye Yuan, forget about rescuing Xu Yan from here.


    In all honesty, even Ying Tianya himself also did not expect that he would actually have to rely on Ye Yuan everywhere after entering the ancient grotto.


    While they all, these Heaven Enlightenment Realm experts, actually became completely useless and could only accept Ye Yuan''s arrangements passively.


    Outside the grotto was like so, after entering the grotto was similarly like that.


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression was incomparably ugly. But he still compromised in the end.


    "Shoot away, what terms do you have!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Now this is the attitude of negotiating! Uh �� My condition is very simple. Each person, 100 thousand earth essence crystals!"


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation currently consumed earth essence crystals too fiercely. Catching a large fish now, how could he not butcher properly?


    Receiving money according to the number of people, this was Ye Yuan''s specialty. Back then at the Grand Yan True Sect''s ruins, he extorted the Heavenly Sky Sect just like this.


    Speaking of which, apart from earth essence crystals, it seemed like other things were not very useful to him either.


    Pei Wenqiang''s two eyes went wide. "One person 100 thousand. Why don''t you go and rob us?"


    "150 thousand!" Ye Yuan did not give him the chance to bargain at all, adding 50 thousand right away.


    Pei Wenqiang could not help choking up. This punk was too capable of profiting from other people''s misfortune.


    Currently, he was fish on somebody''s chopping board. Pei Wenqiang could not do anything to him either!


    "There are 500 thousand earth essence crystals. The remainder, wait until after they all cross over safely, then give you!" Pei Wenqiang threw Ye Yuan a storage ring and said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, putting away the storage ring straight away. Then he yelled to that martial artist in the center of the river, "One foot left!"


    That martial artist was still hesitating when he heard Ye Yuan''s words. But Pei Wenqiang yelled at the top of his voice, "Follow his instructions and walk!"


    That martial artist did not hesitate anymore, advancing a foot''s distance immediately. Indeed, there was a lotus platform which appeared under his feet.


    "Two feet left!"


    "One and a half foot forward!"


    ...


    The distance between each lotus platform was different. Ye Yuan was able to understand the mysteries of the array formation in such a short while and memorize the positions of 10 thousand lotus platforms. How powerful a divine soul did this require?!


    Previously, Pei Wenqiang kept walking with Ye Yuan and did not think that much. Now, only when listening to Ye Yuan directing his subordinates did he realise how monstrous Ye Yuan was.


    "One foot right!"


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic scream. That Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist at the front fell into the river immediately.


    Pity that he was quaking with fear on the lotus platforms for so long. In the end, he still fell down.


    "Ye Yuan, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Pei Wenqiang''s chest was about to explode from anger. To say that this was not intentional by Ye Yuan, he would not believe even if he was beaten to death either.


    "Oh my, really sorry about that. Should be one and a half foot right. I remembered wrongly, remembered wrongly! This earth essence crystals not being the right amount, I''ll remember wrongly when I''m careless. Really sorry about it. Too bad, 150 thousand earth essence crystals hit the waters just like this. Sigh!"


    Ye Yuan''s look of regret made Pei Wenqiang have an impulse to vomit blood.


    A Heaven Enlightenment Realm was actually used to hit the waters by him just like this!


    This guy was simply detestable to the extreme!

 747 Who Else Dares to Touch My Brother!

    "Consider yourself ruthless!"


    Pei Wenqiang gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he seriously could not get angry.


    He retrieved another storage ring and threw it to Ye Yuan, saying, "If any more slip-ups occur, even if they can''t cross, I''m going to exterminate you too!"


    Ye Yuan kept the storage ring and said with a smile, "Haha, with earth essence crystals, everything is open for discussion!"


    What followed was very simple.


    With Ye Yuan''s guidance, the other martial artists all reached the opposite bank smoothly.


    It was just that crossing a river, Pei Wenqiang''s side lost two Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists all at once. Both side''s strength was evened out considerably all of a sudden.


    That instant when the Clear Reed City''s martial artists all landed, Pei Wenqiang suddenly erupted!


    "Go to hell, punk!"


    But right at the same time, Ying Tianya moved too!


    Boom!


    The two people directly clashed together with a palm, then fell into battle.


    "Luo Fang, protect Ye Yuan!" Ying Tianya did not forget to instruct Luo Fang.


    "Yes!" Luo Fang received the order.


    Eight people, two died. Apart from Pei Wenqiang, Clear Reed City was only left with five Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists.


    "The five of you attack together! Kill Ye Yuan!" Pei Wenqiang likewise instructed loudly.


    Luo Fang''s expression changed. It was completely impossible for him to deal with five.


    Those five Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses already charged over with their weapons at the ready. But right then, a surge of sword intent shot up to the skies, surging straight for those five Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses.


    Jun Tianyu''s might was displayed fully beyond all doubt at this instant!


    He faced four Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses alone and did not fall into a disadvantage the least bit!


    These four people were all elites brought over by Pei Wenqiang. Each person''s strength was not beneath Luo Fang''s.


    Jun Tianyu fought four by himself and actually even took the upper-hand firmly.


    Seeing this scene, the Pei Wenqiang who was currently battling Ying Tianya furrowed his brows and yelled out to He Shuming, "Brother He, what are you still waiting for? Isn''t that brat your sworn enemy? Not making a move at this time, when are you going to wait until?"


    When He Shuming saw this scene, the expression on his face became complicated.


    Originally, he had the mentality of sitting on top of the mountain to watch the tigers fight. Being spurred by Pei Wenqiang at this time, ripples immediately surfaced in his heart.


    To talk about killing Ye Yuan, he was a hundred times willing. But under such circumstances, once he took action, he would completely break away from Ying Tianya.


    In Ancient Opulence City, falling out with the city lord was clearly not some wise move.


    After all, he was not alone by himself. Behind He Shuming was the entire Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company.


    But Ye Yuan''s Fragrant Medicine Pavilion had already caused a serious threat to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company now. Killing him could sever all future troubles!


    "He Shuming, if you dare to make a move, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company can forget about surviving in Ancient Opulence City in the future!" Ying Tianya shouted.


    "Hehe, so, it''s a member of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company! Brother He, feel free to make a move! If the Ancient Opulence City won''t put up with you, you can come to my Clear Reed City!" Pei Wenqiang said.


    "Tan Wu, do it! Kill Ye Yuan!" He Shuming finally made up his mind and said solemnly.


    That Tan Wu was sent by the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to protect He Shuming. He would listen to all He Shuming''s orders.


    He Shuming issuing the order at this time, he naturally carried it out without any hesitation.


    Killing a Divine Traversing Realm did not pose any difficulty for Tan Wu at all. But he still attacked without holding anything back!


    But right then, Ye Yuan moved!


    It was only to see Ye Yuan''s figure lifted off from the ground and actually flew into midair.


    But facing a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse, Ye Yuan did not dare to be the slightest bit careless either. He flew right above the large river, not giving Tan Wu a shred of chance to attack at all.


    Seeing this scene, He Shuming''s expression changed. "Divine soul mystic art! Sword driving flight!"


    Everyone looked over, only to see Ye Yuan''s two feet stepping on Xuanying Sword, suspended above the large river, truly incomparably free and easy.


    In this ancient grotto, the others were all unable to fly. Who knew that a Divine Traversing Realm boy was actually able to steer a sword and fly through a divine soul mystic art? This was something that no one expected.


    Back then when Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was very low, he could already display the Sword Driving Technique with a divine soul mystic art.


    Now that he rose several major cultivation realms, his divine soul was more than a hundred times more powerful. Displaying this skill of driving the sword and flying was naturally easily accomplished.


    And right at this time, Jun Tianyu cried out lightly, "Sword Sweeping All Directions!"


    Violent sword intent surged forth wantonly, directly attacking the four Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists surrounding him.


    Those four people, their strengths were not weak. But upon being assaulted by this surge of sword intent, they were still lashed flying out backward, each and every one of their qi and blood in turmoil.


    While Jun Tianyu seized this opportunity to turn around suddenly and charged straight for Tan Wu!


    How could Tan Wu be placed in the same category as Jun Tianyu''s strength?


    Previously, it was just that everyone was exercising restraint all the way, so Jun Tianyu did not make a move all along.


    Seeing He Shuming dropping a rock down the well at this time, his killing intent surged forth and could no longer be concealed!


    To be able to let Jun Tianyu truly get angry, apart from Liu Yiru, there was probably only Ye Yuan.


    "DIE!"


    Jun Tianyu was truly enraged at this time and did not have the intention of holding back in the slightest.


    Tan Wu sensed that sword intent which blotted out the skies and covered the earth and knew that there was no way he would be spared. Clenching his teeth, he said, "Want to kill me, you have to pay the price too!"


    "Heh, with just the likes of you?"


    Jun Tianyu could exterminate the entire Tao Family with his strength alone. How could his strength be average?


    These few days, his sword intent already advanced a step further through Ye Yuan''s guidance. His strength was more than a level stronger compared to before!


    Without holding anything back, Jun Tianyu directly eradicated Tan Wu like crushing a dead branch!


    Killing Tan Wu, Jun Tianyu wielded his long sword horizontally, and he blocked right in front of the huge river, saying in a cold voice, "Who else dares to touch my brother?"


    Hearing this furious roar, everyone''s hearts were all slightly fearful. Those four Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouses, not a single one actually dared to step forward.


    Tan Wu was already dead. No one else could pose a threat to Ye Yuan anymore. Pei Wenqiang forced back Ying Tianya with one move, and the two people ceased battle as well.


    When Ying Tianya saw the Tan Wu who had already his head separated from his body, a chill ran down his spine.


    Ever since eradicating the Tao Family, after he warned Jun Tianyu, he really had not seen him take action again.


    Back then when he destroyed the Tao Family, Ying Tianya''s strength was more a level stronger than Jun Tianyu still. Now that several years had passed, he did not expect that Jun Tianyu''s strength was actually daunting to such an extent.


    Seeing it today, Jun Tianyu improved considerably again compared to several years ago.


    Even if he faced off with Jun Tianyu, victory or defeat was hard to say.


    Jun Tianyu utterly suppressed everyone with his might!


    Ying Tianya naturally did not know that actually Jun Tianyu was at a bottleneck all along these few years. It was still through Ye Yuan''s guidances recently that he broke through the bottleneck, and his strength getting the development of advancing by leaps and bounds.


    Ye Yuan controlled the sword and slowly landed beside Jun Tianyu, opening his mouth and saying, "Brother Jun, thank you very much!"


    Jun Tianyu said coolly when he heard that, "Why say thanks between you and me?"


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression was incomparably ugly. He never would have thought that Jun Tianyu''s strength was actually this powerful!


    Jun Tianyu''s boundary was more or less the same as his four subordinates. He initially thought that with four against one, even if they could not obtain victory, suppressing should be achievable.


    Who knew that not only could the four of them not suppress him, Jun Tianyu even instantly killed Tan Wu straight away!


    Now, under such circumstances, him wanting to kill Ye Yuan again was undoubtedly a fool''s talk.

 748 Prajna Soundwaves

    "Jun Tianyu, looks like you''re bent on making things difficult for my Pei Family?" Pei Wenqiang said with a solemn face.


    Hearing that, Jun Tianyu did not speak, but his brows creased together slightly.


    Very clearly, Pei Wenqiang''s words made him rather hesitant.


    "You''re a member of the Pei Family?" Jun Tianyu said.


    "My elder brother is Pei Kun, what do you think?" Pei Wenqiang said with a smug look.


    Jun Tianyu''s brows furrowed again and said, "One of the Seven Holy Sons, Pei Kun?"


    "Heh, looks like you know quite a bit! That''s right, it''s precisely one of the Seven Holy Sons, Pei Kun! If you don''t believe me, you can ask Ying Tianya," Pei Wenqiang said.


    Jun Tianyu looked towards Ying Tianya, and saw him nod his head helplessly, and knew that the words were not false.


    Pei Wenqiang saw that Jun Tianyu was somewhat apprehensive and was even more smug as he said, "Jun Tianyu, you''re also aware of the Seven Holy Son''s statuses in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Even if your talent surpasses others, you completely can''t afford to provoke too! I don''t need you to do anything either. As long as you don''t bother with the matters between Ye Yuan and me, there will definitely be generous repayments in the future! I, Pei Wenqiang, will fulfill what I say!"


    Ye Yuan knew what a holy son signified in a holy land. With Jun Tianyu''s strength, he indeed could not afford to offend one.


    Holy sons were those few juniors with the highest talents in a holy land. One person among them had the chance to inherit the Dao legacy in the future.


    Even if unable to become the lord of a holy land, they would also at least be a member of the elders association, possessing tremendous authority.


    No wonder Ying Tianya concealed so carefully when he entered Clear Reed City. Turns out that he was afraid of offending Pei Wenqiang.


    Who knew that the moment he entered Clear Reed City, Pei Wenqiang already noticed him.


    But towards Jun Tianyu, Ye Yuan had a lot of faith.


    Indeed, Jun Tianyu just shook his head faintly and said, "Even if you''re Pei Kun''s younger brother, want to touch Ye Yuan, you''ll also have to ask the sword in my hand!"


    "You! Fine, today''s matter, I, Pei Wenqiang, have remembered it! After exiting this ancient grotto, I''ll see how you live on in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land!"


    Pei Wenqiang did not expect that Jun Tianyu was actually so persistent on Ye Yuan. He would rather take the risk of offending the Pei Family than willingly let go.


    Jun Tianyu said coolly, "It''s true that your Pei Family is powerful, but to want to cover the skies with one hand in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, it probably can''t be done, right? Whatever moves you have, feel free to execute them. This Jun will receive it!"


    "Brother Jun rest assured, as long as Junior Apprentice Brother is rescued, I reckon that his Pei Family won''t dare to do anything to you either! Even though Xu Yan isn''t a holy son, his status is also not too far off," Ying Tianya voiced out too.


    Pei Wenqiang snorted coldly and said, "Then you also have to save Xu Yan before talking!"


    Pei Wenqiang did not refute Ying Tianya''s words. Looks like even if this Xu Yan''s strength was inferior to the Seven Holy Sons, the difference was probably not huge either.


    A great battle ended without a conclusion just like this. Nobody could do anything to anyone. Everyone could only carry on forth and explore.


    "What kind of damn place is this? Why does it feel like this place is filled with a sinister qi everywhere?" Luo Fang could not refrain from cursing.


    Not just Luo Fang, the others had this feeling too.


    Crossing the river, waves of cold air invaded everyone''s body. Though it could not do anything to them, it kept making people have an uncomfortable feeling.


    Ye Yuan naturally felt it too. But he did not have much sensation. The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was impervious to a hundred evils. Regardless of whether it was the cold air or sinister qi, it all could not approach his body.


    "You guys, look! There''s a large hall ahead!"


    Everyone was currently walking when a great hall came into everyone''s view. It was just that this great hall was similarly overflowing with dense sinister qi, making people uncomfortable.


    There was a massive plaza in front of the great hall. There were many sculptures in the plaza.


    Those sculptures were all figures of beautiful women. Each one of them was graceful and charming, being strikingly vivid and lifelike.


    Some of them were hugging Chinese lutes, some were playing the zither, some were dancing gracefully, rather like a palace orchestra.


    When everyone walked near, they discovered that these beautiful women were all incomparably stunning, and actually made people have a feeling of unable to keep it under control.


    "Heh heh, it''s a shame that these beauties are all sculptures. If they were real people, then us brothers will be able to get some satisfaction! Everyone says that dying while relishing a woman, they can be merry being a ghost too! No idea who made these sculptures, their luck with beauties aren''t shallow!"


    When these martial artists saw these beautiful women sculptures, each and every one of them were all incomparably intoxicated.


    Indeed, these sculptures were too lifelike, just like a real person. The expression on their faces were also all very natural. Furthermore, their seductiveness emerged in endless streams, causing a lethal attraction towards men.


    These women like born naturally in order to enthrall men.


    Right then, beautiful music suddenly sounded in the plaza.


    The music rang in everyone''s ears like it was being played, bewitching their minds and spirits; incomparably intoxicating.


    And right at this time, those beautiful women in the plaza actually came to life one by one, and they started performing in front of everybody with extremely spellbinding forms.


    "Hahaha, come here, give this Lord a kiss!"


    "Girlie, come, sit on this Lord''s lap!"


    ...


    How could the martial artists traveling together still endure it? Each and every one of them all pounced towards those beautiful women.


    For a moment, the entire plaza was incredibly disorderly.


    Even those Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists were all inebriated in it too, unable to extricate themselves, including Pei Wenqiang and Ying Tianya.


    The one slightly better was Jun Tianyu.


    The expression on his face was seemingly painful, showing an appearance of struggling. But his eyes already gradually became hollow.


    "Brother Jun, focus your mind and be unmoved!"


    All of a sudden, this voice was like a bolt out of the blue, dragging Jun Tianyu back to reality.


    He abruptly startled awake. Looking around, he discovered that the rest were all hugging those sculptured beauties.


    Some were kissing the faces of the beauties frenziedly, others were groping wildly on the bodies of the beauties, showing all sorts of ugly behaviors.


    Jun Tianyu lamented to himself in shame. If not for Ye Yuan''s tolling bell-like divine sense transmission just now, he would probably also be like the rest now, right?


    If it were really like that, his swordheart would surely become somewhat regretful, and he would be unable to pry into the Great Dao anymore in this lifetime.


    "Ye Yuan, why are you ��"


    Jun Tianyu was very curious too. Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was the lowest here, but only he alone was not affected.


    He examined himself that his will was firm and it was very hard to suffer this kind of temptation. But earlier, even he nearly got trapped inside too.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "These beauties aren''t sculptures at all, but they were refined and formed from living people! Their bewitching arts attainments must be exceedingly high when they were still alive. Therefore, they are still able to cause immense beguilement against martial artists after death. I felt something amiss right after coming to this plaza, so I entered Heart Like Monolith Realm straightaway. Therefore, I wasn''t affected."


    If it were under normal conditions, Ye Yuan would also succumb by accident. But as long as he heightened vigilance, for these sort of bewitching arts to want to beguile him, it could not be done at all.


    The so-called heart like monolith, unmovable by the eight winds, heart realm boundary itself was the nemesis of these bewitching arts. He was naturally not affected.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s words made Jun Tianyu jump in fright.


    He exclaimed, "What did you say?! They �� They are all refined from living people? This �� How is this possible?"

 749 Revolting Behaviors

    Jun Tianyu looked at those sculptures, shock written all over his face.


    If not for Ye Yuan saying so, he would not think in this direction at all.


    But now, the more he looked, the more he felt that what Ye Yuan said was true!


    These sculptures were seriously too lifelike, vivid until it was exactly the same as a real person!


    The expressions of these beauties were remarkably lifelike as to be indistinguishable from the original. It was very hard for Jun Tianyu to imagine what kind of craftsman was able to sculpt such vivid sculptures.


    There was only one possibility: these were all living people!


    "But these statues'' bodies are all ice-cold, very similar to stone," Jun Tianyu still said somewhat disbelievingly.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "I''ve researched ancient alchemy skills. In the ancient era, there''s a kind of drug called Petrifying Powder. After people drink it, their entire bodies will become stiff like stone, and their expressions would also remain at that instant petrified at forever. I think that these beauties were probably drugged with Petrifying Powder, that''s why they became like so, right?"


    "This �� Then what''s going on with them?" Jun Tianyu pointed at the rest and said.


    "These women were definitely playing a musical piece before death. After they petrified, their living souls were confined in their bodies by someone, forever unable to break out. They died harboring resentment, so when there are living people drawing close to them, they will exercise all of their abilities before death to beguile the living people. When they lose themselves inside completely, their divine souls will leave the body, forever unable to return back into their bodies." Ye Yuan said.


    Jun Tianyu was stricken with fear. These women''s bewitching arts were exceedingly formidable. They, these Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, could not withstand it at all.


    If not for Ye Yuan''s warning, he probably could not endure for long either.


    And according to what Ye Yuan said, wouldn''t the others be in grave danger?


    "Then �� what should we do now? Save �� or not to save?" Jun Tianyu said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan said, "This ancient grotto is very sinister. Who knows how many dangers are at the back. Our greatest foe right now isn''t them, but the perils here! Leaving them to die freely might not be a good thing for us."


    An existence able to refine such bizarre sculptures was probably not that easy to get along with.


    Inside this grotto was riddled with dangers. If it was Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu two people, it was very hard to continue.


    If really encountered anything, having a bit more people would have more hopes of surviving instead.


    "Then �� how to save?"


    To talk about killing enemies and fighting, Jun Tianyu was very adept. But encountering this kind of thing, he could only have a blank look.


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes, muttering incantations in the air. A wave of majestic soul force spread out.


    Jun Tianyu''s eyes turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan oddly.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s soul force was actually so horrifyingly powerful!


    "Shatter!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly gave a light cry. The voice was not loud, but the penetrative force was immensely powerful!


    The prajna sounds still reverberating in the plaza was actually sent scattering immediately by this cry of Ye Yuan''s!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s voice also transmitted into everyone''s sea of consciousness.


    This shout was undoubtedly enlightening the benighted to them, dragging them back to reality directly.


    "Pooh pooh pooh! What am I doing? Disgusting as hell!"


    "My God, what the hell was I doing just now?"


    "Gah, I don''t want to live anymore! Humiliating to death!"


    The bunch of martial artists all flushed with shame, discovering that they were doing shameful actions.


    Some sculptures'' faces were slobbered with saliva everywhere from kisses by the martial artists, looking disgusting as hell.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "These guys have really heavy tastes. If let them carry on developing, who knows what else they will be doing at the back."


    Jun Tianyu chortled with laughter and said, "Human nature, human nature! Hahaha!"


    Although he very much wanted to endure, Jun Tianyu still could not hold back in the end and let out a burst of roaring laughter.


    When the others heard his laughter, each and every one of them wished they could find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    If these sculptures were really beautiful women, then forget it. But each and every one of them actually did this sort of things to statues. Seriously disgraced all the way back to their grandmother''s house.


    Ying Tianya came in front of Ye Yuan with his old face scarlet-red and asked, "That �� Master Ye, were you the one who saved us?"


    "That''s right. If not for Ye Yuan, you all would be dead. Even your divine souls would probably never reincarnate for all of eternity! Previously, some people still wanted to kill Ye Yuan. What irony!" Jun Tianyu suddenly put away the laughter and said with a cold snort.


    Pei Wenqiang was embracing two statues earlier, his hand already reaching inside the dresses of the statues, doing all kinds of indecent actions. The appearance was unspeakably wretched.


    And Jun Tianyu''s words were clearly said for him to hear.


    "Heh, high-sounding words! This grotto is extremely bizarre. He''s afraid that when we die, he can''t exit by himself, right? Don''t try that with this Pei; I won''t thank him!"


    Pei Wenqiang was not dumb. He figured out Ye Yuan''s intentions very quickly.


    "No matter what, Ye Yuan saving you is a fact." Jun Tianyu said with a frown.


    Seeing Pei Wenqiang''s manner, Jun Tianyu was rather regretted rescuing him.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Brother Jun, no need to say too much."


    Ye Yuan did not hope that Pei Wenqiang would be grateful for anything either. Arguing about him with this had no meaning whatsoever.


    "Everyone all back away!" Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    The other martial artists exchanged glances, but they ultimately still listened and backed away.


    Even the Pei Wenqiang and He Shuming who were the most opposed with Ye Yuan both retreated to one side sensibly.


    Although he was completely ungrateful towards Ye Yuan verbally, in the depths of the bottom of Pei Wenqiang''s heart, he still had some gratitude towards Ye Yuan''s live-saving action.


    Even if there was only that tiny hint, it was ultimately still there.


    Regardless of what objective it stemmed from, Ye Yuan saved his life after all.


    So this time, he did not sing a different tune with Ye Yuan for the first time ever.


    Moreover, he was also very curious just what Ye Yuan was trying to do.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan arrive before a beauty and suddenly extend his finger, tapping on the glabella on that woman.


    A faint wisp of soul force invaded into the sculpture flowing along his finger. Immediately after, a scene which astonished everyone happened.


    That sculpture actually emitted a faint light halo.


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gaze, that sculpture suddenly shattered into dust!


    And a faint phantom appeared in front of Ye Yuan, exactly identical with that statue before.


    Very clearly, this was that statue''s divine soul.


    When that divine soul saw Ye Yuan, she actually gave him a deep bow.


    Except, that divine soul phantom was seemingly as if an illusion, practically almost dissipating already. This divine soul was imprisoned for countless years and was already weak to the extreme. She was completely unable to open her mouth to speak anymore.


    Ye Yuan just nodded his head and walked in front of another sculpture and did the same thing. That statue disintegrated to dust very quickly too, only leaving behind a faint phantom.


    That phantom similarly gave him a deep bow incomparably gratefully, looking delicate and pitiful.


    Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and walked towards another sculpture.


    Just like this, Ye Yuan walked over towards sculpture after sculpture, turning each statue into dust.

 750 Soul Soothing Ar

    "This �� What''s going on here? Could it be that a woman''s divine soul is imprisoned inside each statue?" Ying Tianya said in amazement.


    "These are not statues at all but refined from living people!"


    Jun Tianyu heaved a slight sigh and recounted the situation Ye Yuan discovered for everyone, making everyone feel a chill run down their spines.


    This kind of means was seriously too cruel. Just what kind of person was the owner of this grotto, to actually be able to resort to such vicious means?


    "No wonder these women''s beguiling powers were so formidable. This sort of towering resentment, ordinary people probably can''t withstand it, right?" Ying Tianya said in astonishment.


    "Just what kind of measure did this brat use, to actually be able to resolve these women''s grievances?" Pei Wenqiang said in shock.


    Everyone was stricken with fear. Only now did they discover that Ye Yuan''s methods were simply inconceivable.


    For this sort of cruel means where the divine souls being imprisoned to the point they showed resentment billowing to the skies, there was only the path of annihilating them completely.


    But Ye Yuan used an unknown method. Not only did he rescue these divine souls from the bodies, he even made each and every one of them incomparably peaceful.


    "If my conjectures are right, what he used should be the divine soul mystic art, Soul Soothing Art! It''s just that cultivating the Soul Soothing Art to this kind of boundary, it''s simply inconceivable!" He Shuming suddenly said.


    "Soul Soothing Art? How is that possible? Such inconceivable means was actually just such a low-level Soul Soothing Art?" Pei Wenqiang said in astonishment.


    "Any kind of means, when trained to an exceedingly high realm, would also become inconceivable. It''s just that very few people can do it. Ye Yuan''s Soul Soothing Art has probably reached the boundary of returning to one''s original simplicity already! He only attempted to undergo communication with these girls and make these girls put down the resentment in their hearts, and they can also break away already."


    Among these people, the one who studied divine soul mystic arts the most was He Shuming. Therefore, he had the greatest right to speak as well.


    The Soul Soothing Art was just a more coarse and shallow divine soul mystic art used to expiate dead souls. He Shuming knew this divine soul mystic art too. Moreover, his attainments were not low. Therefore, he could tell what Ye Yuan was doing.


    The Soul Soothing Art which Ye Yuan used was very different from what normal people used. But that sort of familiar divine soul undulation could not be hidden from He Shuming.


    It was just that what made He Shuming amazed was that Ye Yuan using this move was completely at his will, at the tip of his fingers!


    Ye Yuan communicated with the divine souls of these girls, carrying a power veiled in mystery.


    He Shuming only had one word to give to this power''s appraisal: convinced!


    No matter how great the grievances contained within the divine souls of these girls, they would all calm down under Ye Yuan''s persuasion.


    The moment the resentment disappeared, these shells could no longer constrain them either, so they vanished into thin air.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan extricated all of the beauties. Several dozen faint phantoms appeared in the plaza.


    A woman dressed in yellow suddenly fell out of the ranks and greeted Ye Yuan by folding her hands at the lower right side, communicating with Ye Yuan, "Sisters'' divine souls are weak. Meixuan thanks young master on behalf of the sisters for your grace of revival!"


    Ye Yuan exonerated everyone just now and knew that this woman in yellow was called Qin Meixuan; she was also the person whose divine soul was the strongest now.


    Of course, this so-called strongest was also merely just being able to have divine soul communication with Ye Yuan. Only this Qin Meixuan''s divine soul was slightly more powerful at present and barely had the ability to communicate with Ye Yuan.


    Their divine souls were imprisoned for ten thousand years and were long feeble to the extent that it would vanish like a cloud at any time already. They did not have the strength to retaliate at all after breaking free from their own bodies.


    "Alright, the restrictions on your bodies are already removed. From now on, you''re all free. Past matters are over. You all return to samsara then!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan knew that these girls were all people with stories. But such a long time had already passed. The person who trapped them back then had probably returned to the earth as well now.


    But Qin Meixuan shook her head and said, "Young Master, us sisters have already discussed just now. We''ve decided to not enter samsara!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed when he heard that and said, "I saved you all, is because I feel that you''re all people with bitter fates. Though there are abominable matters, there are also some pitiable areas. If you guys refuse to come to your senses, then I can''t be blamed!"


    Qin Meixuan was greatly alarmed when she heard that and shook her head repeatedly as she said, "Young Master is mistaken! My meaning is that us sisters want to follow by Young Master''s side and serve Young Master!"


    Seemingly afraid of Ye Yuan refusing, Qin Meixuan hurriedly said again, "Although us sisters are all divine soul bodies now, the lowest when we were alive was also Phaseless Realm strength, much stronger compared to those people! As long as our divine souls recover to some extent, I believe that we can still be of some help to Young Master."


    Towards Qin Meixuan''s decision, Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    To a divine soul who was imprisoned for countless years, the greatest release was nothing more than entering samsara.


    But these girls would actually willingly stay by his side and not be willing to enter samsara too.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "Do you all still have some unfulfilled wish?"


    "This ��" Qin Meixuan could not help hesitating.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Humph! Do you feel that this young master is very easygoing? Or maybe, you feel that this young master will accept a group of people with unknown backgrounds to be around me?"


    Ye Yuan knew that these girls were all not nice people when they were still alive. It was just that they were too weak currently, that was why they appeared all so pitiful.


    If he let them recover strength, they might do something!


    Therefore, talking to them, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of being courteous.


    Qin Meixuan was very alarmed when she heard that and said, "Meixuan doesn''t mean that. Actually ��"


    Qin Meixuan suddenly switched to voice transmission and said, "Actually, us sisters were all captured by that demon back then. And among us, there''s still the eldest sister. That demon gifted Eldest Sister to Purple Origin Heretic God to be a concubine back then in order to fawn on him. Eldest Sister''s debt of gratitude towards us is as weighty as a mountain. If without her, we''d have long died already. Even though we know that she''s definitely not in this world anymore, we still want to take one last look at her."


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together when he heard that. But titanic waves surged in his heart.


    These girls had actually experienced the era of Divine Dao!


    The Purple Origin Heretic God in their mouths must be a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan was unmoved on the surface, but his heart already leaped to his throat.


    In this present era, no one was unmoved towards Deity Realm, these two words, including him, Ye Yuan!


    In this lifetime, Ye Yuan''s greatest wish apart from killing Ji Canglan was to pursue that fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm.


    Qin Meixuan did not detect the transformations of Ye Yuan''s mental state at all and continued, "Moreover, us sisters are truly endlessly grateful towards Young Master and want to repay Young Master''s great kindness. Hence, that''s why we wish to remain by Young Master''s side."


    Ye Yuan said impassively, "Alright then. You all enter inside my spatial spirit artifact first. Later, I''ll refine soul maintaining banners for you guys to let you all rest inside."


    Qin Meixuan was overjoyed when she heard that and repeatedly said, "Thank you very much, Young Master! Thank you very much, Young Master!"


    With a wave of his hand, Ye Yuan put them away inside the spatial spirit artifact.


    In front of so many people, Ye Yuan naturally would not utilize the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The existence of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, even Divine King powerhouses would be moved too. The logic of not revealing one''s wealth, Ye Yuan was still aware of this.

 751 The Third Path

    "Ye Yuan, you''re still young. Make sure not to have your body milked dry by these vixens!"


    Pei Wenqiang was very displeased when he saw that Ye Yuan actually took in these girls.


    These beauties nearly took his life just now. If they entered samsara, then forget it. But now, what did following Ye Yuan count as?


    Moreover, Pei Wenqiang saw that Ye Yuan and that woman in yellow actually communicated using divine sense later on. There must be more than meets the eye!


    It was just that the existence of Jun Tianyu, this thorn, made him incredibly wary. He could only make jeering remarks.


    Indeed, once he said that, everyone looked at Ye Yuan with strange gazes.


    Even if these girls were divine soul bodies, their looks were extraordinary too. Could this action of Ye Yuan''s be to form a harem?


    Ye Yuan gave him an indifferent look and said, "This is my matter. What has it got to do with you?"


    "You! Humph! Even if you want to indulge in sensual pleasure, you need to walk out of this ancient grotto too!" Pei Wenqiang said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Want to walk out of this ancient grotto, I advice that you better not have those devious thoughts! Let alone that your elder brother is whatever Seven Holy Sons, even if he is the Jade Emperor, it''s useless here too!"


    This sentence choked Pei Wenqiang badly, deflating his temper straight away.


    Originally, he really wanted to do some shady things. But with Ye Yuan saying it like this, he really did not dare to move anymore.


    Very clearly, apart from his cultivation realm being a little low, Ye Yuan''s methods could be seen as if endless streams, more than what they could imagine.


    If without Ye Yuan, forget about those bewitching arts earlier, even that river of Weak Water earlier, they could not cross it!


    Walking all the way until now, the greatest reliance of their group of people was actually this Divine Traversing Realm boy with the lowest cultivation realm.


    "Ye Yuan, seems like there are no other paths. Do we enter this hall or not?" Ying Tianya came forward to ask.


    Ye Yuan darted him a glance and said, "Didn''t you say that you can sense your junior''s location?"


    Ying Tianya smiled bitterly and said, "No idea why, I could still sense him outside the grotto. But ever since entering the grotto, we seemed to have lost the connection between us."


    Ye Yuan could not help musing to himself when he heard that. If what Ying Tianya said was true, this place seemed to be exuding the thick smell of a conspiracy.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "No other choice then. Enter and check it out."


    Everyone came before the hall''s door. But Pei Wenqiang and the others were all akin to birds startled by the twang of a bow, not daring to step forward.


    This ancient grotto was incredibly strange. Who knew if there would be any hidden mechanisms on top of this hall''s door.


    Ye Yuan went forward directly to push the door and enter. But nothing happened.


    Only when Pei Wenqiang and the others saw the situation did they set their minds at ease, following Ye Yuan into the great hall.


    "Transmission array!" the moment they entered the hall, someone immediately exclaimed.


    Inside this great hall seemed to have nothing else, but actually it had two transmission arrays!


    And right at this time, a faint phantom condensed and formed.


    "Everyone arriving at this place already passed the tests previously. You all are my, Xie Lingzi''s fated individuals! My, Xie Lingzi''s lifespan has already ended. But I didn''t look for a successor and treat this matter as a regret. So before I passed away, I''ve prepared two paths for you all. That transmission array on the left, I''ve designed three tests for everyone. The person who passes can inherit my, Xie Lingzi''s, mantle. Everything that I, Xie Lingzi, have learned and hoarded throughout my life are all behind this transmission array. As long as you all are able to pass through the tests, all of this is yours. That transmission array on the right leads to the outside world. People not willing to accept the test can leave of your own accord," the faint phantom said.


    The phantom was an old man dressed in a daoist attire, long hair fluttering, with a sage-like appearance. But he called himself Xie Lingzi, making people''s jaws drop.


    Very clearly, this Xie Lingzi was the owner of the ancient grotto.


    And Xie Lingzi''s words immediately stirred up a huge uproar in the crowd.


    "So, that Weak Water river and the beauties in the plaza from before were actually all tests!"


    "Looking at the situation now, this Xie Lingzi is probably also a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse at least! If we can inherit his mantle, we''ll soar to the skies with one bound!"


    "Heh heh, inherit mantle? You guys are thinking too much, right? Those two tests previously were already so staggering. If we go in to accept the test, then what difference is there from seeking death?"


    "That''s right. This place is so bizarre. What are we still staying here for? Our little lives are more important!"


    These martial artists split into two factions very quickly. One faction wished to enter the transmission array on the left, while the other faction wanted to enter the right-side transmission array and exit immediately.


    To these martial artists, the inheritance of Dao Profound Realm was too alluring!


    One had to know that the master of this Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was also just a First Level Dao Profound Realm.


    If they could inherit Xie Lingzi''s mantle, it could really be said to be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.


    Therefore, the majority of the martial artists all leaned towards the left-side''s transmission array.


    "Master Ye, this �� which side should we go?" Ying Tianya listened and obeyed Ye Yuan''s words readily now.


    If talking about who had the greatest right to speak here, it was none other than Ye Yuan.


    Pei Wenqiang did not speak. But hearing Ying Tianya asking, his ears unwittingly twitched too, wanting to hear what Ye Yuan had to say.


    But Ye Yuan said, "Actually, I want to know, if we don''t take both paths, what kind of outcome will it be?"


    "Uh, not taking both paths? However, this hall doesn''t seem to have other paths to take!" Ying Tianya said.


    Ye Yuan had yet to speak when He Shuming laughed loudly and said, "Not taking both paths, there is naturally a third path to take!"


    As he said, he circled around the two transmission arrays and came to the sides of a traditional square table at the back of the hall.


    This action of his immediately caught everyone''s eyes. Everyone became curious with what He Shuming wanted to do.


    It was only to see He Shuming move one of the candlesticks on the old-style square table slightly. A scene which astonished everyone happened!


    A surge of essence energy flooded the entire main hall very quickly. Under everyone''s stares, a third transmission array actually opened up behind those two transmission arrays!


    "This! There is actually still a transmission array! Concealed so deeply! Turns out that those two transmission arrays previously were actually both traps!"


    "Alchemy Saint He is indeed well-deserving of being a Tier 7 array master, to actually be able to find this concealed transmission array! If we entered one of them, it would probably be hard to escape this calamity!"


    "So close, so close! Being duped by that Xie Lingzi just now, I almost fell for it!"


    When everyone saw this third transmission array, each and every one of them huffed in relief.


    This third transmission array was concealed so deeply. Using one''s butt to think, the two previously were also both traps.


    That Xie Lingzi made it so pleasant sounding to the ear. Thinking now, he had malicious intentions!


    He Shuming looked at Ye Yuan smugly, clearly putting on a display of strength.


    Ever since he knew Ye Yuan, he had been suppressed by Ye Yuan all-round constantly.


    But when everyone was discussing which transmission array to enter just now, he discovered that this candlestick seemed to have some different aspects.Evil/Heretic Spirit

 752 Your Elderly Self Take the Lead?

    The moment Ye Yuan said this, it clearly indicated that Ye Yuan made it out too.


    How could He Shuming be willing to let Ye Yuan enjoy all of the limelight alone? So he dug out this third transmission array right away to make a comeback.


    Indeed, looking at everyone''s reaction right now, the effects of this action was excellent.


    Alchemy Saint and Tier 7 array master these two plaques were not hung for fun.


    To the vast majority of people, this represented acknowledgment!


    In comparison, it was clearly much harder for Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm to want to obtain the recognition of a bunch of Heaven Enlightenment Realms and Boundless Realms.


    He Shuming found this concealed transmission array and was immediately praised to the skies by people.


    Especially Pei Wenqiang, he sent over raving compliments straight away.


    "Master He indeed lives up to your name! Just this skill in array formations, I think it''s above some people!" Pei Wenqiang said.


    Pei Wenqiang''s words were actually said very implicitly. He had long perceived that Ye Yuan clearly saw through this concealed transmission array too. Otherwise, he would not have said it like that.


    It was just that in comparison to Ye Yuan, Pei Wenqiang clearly hoped for He Shuming to be able to take the upper-hand more.


    Even though Pei Wenqiang knew that Ye Yuan''s overall strength was much more formidable compared to He Shuming, to be able to irk Ye Yuan, he was still very willing.


    "Haha, not at all, not at all! Just some insignificant skill. City Lord Pei is too courteous," He Shuming said with a delighted laugh.


    Seeing everyone finally give Ye Yuan the cold-shoulder, He Shuming had unspeakable exhilaration in his heart.


    "Tch, what is he even showing off for? Truly a vile character intoxicated by success!" Luo Fang at the side said with an unhappy look.


    Their side had basically fallen out with He Shuming completely already. So seeing He Shuming''s appearance of being proud of his success, Luo Fang was very displeased too.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Alchemy Saint He has also been repressed for a long time. Just let him enjoy a little."


    After everyone flattered He Shuming for a while, the topic ultimately still had to return to which path to take.


    But since He Shuming found this concealed transmission array, seems like this question was unnecessary too.


    "Since Master He already found the genuine transmission array, then let''s enter inside!" Pei Wenqiang said in a clear voice.


    "Hold on!" Everyone was just about to set off, but they were stopped by Ye Yuan.


    Pei Wenqiang said with a smile that wasn''t a smile, "What? Does Master Ye feel somewhat unwilling to submit now that you didn''t find this concealed transmission array?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I naturally have no objections about you wanting to enter this third transmission array. But don''t blame me for not warning you, if you really enter inside, bear the consequences yourself!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Pei Wenqiang alarmed inwardly. But he still had a disbelieving look on his face as he said, "Heh, are you jealous of Master He? So you''re deliberately exaggerating things to raise the alarm? I say, can you, brat, have a little breadth of mind or not?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Alright then. Go on in then, I won''t stop you."


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look. But it made Pei Wenqiang involuntarily waver.


    Their group of people being able to walk until now was all relying on Ye Yuan''s measures.


    Pei Wenqiang already noticed Ye Yuan outside the grotto and felt that this boy was not simple. After entering, the various kinds of means Ye Yuan displayed made him feel even more curious.


    Now, Ye Yuan said that this third transmission array had a problem. Pei Wenqiang had no choice but to harbor all sorts of suspicions.


    "Ye Yuan, don''t think that you can use a few words to beguile the minds of people because you displayed some tricks previously! Why don''t you say, if this third transmission array isn''t the true passageway, then why is it hidden just now?" He Shuming said unhappily.


    He was only smug for a little while just now and Ye Yuan came out again to stir up enmity. It would be weird if he could be happy.


    In He Shuming''s view, Ye Yuan saying this was absolutely beguiling the minds of people intentionally.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "How about this, those willing to follow Master He into this third transmission array can go in right now. Master He, since this third transmission array was discovered by you, why don''t your elderly self take the lead?"


    "I �� I''ll go then! Who''s afraid of who!"


    He Shuming being triggered by Ye Yuan like this could not keep his face anymore and walked towards the third transmission array!


    "Everyone, don''t fall for this punk''s trick! This brat likes to play these little tricks the most! This third transmission array is absolutely fine! Those willing to follow me in, enter together!" He Shuming said loudly.


    As he was speaking, He Shuming already walked to the front of the transmission array. But when he turned around, he discovered that not a single person followed.


    If Tan Wu was still around, he would definitely follow He Shuming. But sadly, Tan Wu was long killed on the spot by Jun Tianyu.


    The other martial artists exchanged glances, looking at each other. There was actually no one who moved. Even the Pei Wenqiang who lauded him to the skies earlier did not move either.


    He Shuming''s old face turned bright-red with a ''fwoosh'' all at once.


    "You all!"


    This sort of situation was seriously too embarrassing.


    He was already willing to take the lead to enter, but the others actually did not give face!


    Except, concerning everybody''s life and death, who dared to regard it lightly?


    If everyone knew absolutely nothing about Ye Yuan, they would definitely choose to believe He Shuming right now.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s means, everyone had all witnessed it before. A word from him now, the weight was completely different.


    Even if they still harbored suspicions, they did not dare to easily brave the dangers either.


    "Hehe, Master He, looks like everyone doesn''t have any confidence in your judgment! But it looks like you''re rather confident in your own call. Why not �� you go in yourself then! Perhaps this transmission array leads to the Divine Realm, and you can return straight to the Divine Realm," Luo Fang said with a cold laugh.


    He Shuming wished that he could find a hole in the ground to tunnel into. But Luo Fang''s ridicule still made He Shuming calm down completely.


    If Ye Yuan really was not joking, then if he went in ��


    "Master Ye, which side should we take?" In the end, it was still Ying Tianya who could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Honestly speaking, I actually don''t know which side to take either! If possible, I''d rather not take one! It''s just that I feel the one we must not take the most is this third transmission array instead!"


    Everyone was taken aback from shock when they heard this. Ying Tianya asked, "Why is that so?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Actually, though this third transmission array is concealed, to a formations path expert, it''s not hard to find! Regardless who they are, as long as they are able to walk until here, whose formations path attainments would be low? Therefore, I feel that this candlestick is a flaw that Xie Lingzi deliberately left behind. The goal is to make people take this third transmission array!"


    Ye Yuan''s analysis made everyone shudder with fear.


    They did not think in this aspect at all prior to this. Hearing Ye Yuan analyze it like this now, this hidden transmission array was completely a huge pit!


    This Xie Lingzi was absolutely a person adept at scheming. Even when dead, he grasped the mental states of everyone perfectly too.


    Under normal circumstances, once a group of people discovered a hidden transmission array, they would definitely think that this hidden transmission array was the safe one right away.


    But in truth, this transmission array was the least safe instead!

 753 Delicate Fragrance

    "This �� Then we''d better take the two transmission arrays previously?" Ying Tianya said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Those two transmission arrays probably have danger too. But relatively speaking, it should be a little better compared to the third. But looks like if we don''t pass through one of the transmission arrays, wanting to get away will likely be quite difficult."


    Ye Yuan already carefully surveyed this great hall before. Apart from these three transmission arrays, there did not seem to be other paths to take.


    Which was also to say that they must choose one of the transmission arrays to pass through!


    "What to do now? Doesn''t that mean that no matter which path we choose, there will be danger?" Ying Tianya said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Nobody dares to guarantee what kind of situation is over at the transmission array''s side. But if I have to choose, I''m leaning more towards that transmission array on the right."


    "That transmission array on the right? Are you joking?! How can there be such a bargain? If it''s really as you say, how can that Xie Lingzi possibly let us leave easily?" Pei Wenqiang said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What you said is right. Moreover, I know that most likely, the majority of the people are thinking this right now! Furthermore, I feel that this Xie Lingzi is deliberately setting up a misleading strategy. It probably is to make us think this way! Where this transmission array leads definitely isn''t the way out. But it should be the safest path among these three paths!"


    Ye Yuan finished talking. Everyone involuntarily started musing.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would not have thought at all that these three transmission arrays actually contained such convoluted scheming.


    Seems like everyone had been led along by the nose by this Xie Lingzi starting from when they walked into this grotto. It seemed like each step they took, it all could not escape that Xie Lingzi''s plotting.


    This kind of feeling was akin to a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark, like a prickle on their backs.


    A dead man who had died for countless years was actually able to achieve such precise scheming. This person was simply too frightening.


    Everyone felt that what Ye Yuan said was very absurd, but they could not find a better reason to refute Ye Yuan.


    Moreover, they also perceived that Ye Yuan himself actually did not have a lot of confidence either. Because no one knew where the transmission array led either.


    But without a doubt, Ye Yuan''s analysis was the greatest counterattack against Xie Lingzi!


    Ying Tianya sucked in a deep breath, seemingly making a very firm resolution as he said, "Master Ye, I''ll listen to you! We''ll take this right side transmission array!"


    As he said, Ying Tianya actually walked straight towards that transmission array.


    Luo Fang immediately grabbed Ying Tianya when he saw the situation and said, "City Lord Your Excellency, better let me be in front!"


    Finished talking, Luo Fang took a step and entered inside the transmission array.


    Ying Tianya did not have the least bit of hesitation either, directly entering the transmission array.


    "Brother Jun, let''s go too!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Jun Tianyu nodded slightly and entered the transmission array together with Ye Yuan.


    These few people taking the lead to enter the transmission array, what else did the rest have to say?


    Very clearly, trusting Ye Yuan at this time, the chances of survival was absolutely much greater than trusting He Shuming!


    Pei Wenqiang was afraid of losing sight of Ye Yuan and entered the transmission array first. The others also entered one by one in succession.


    He Shuming had a look of dilemma and finally stepped inside too.


    When everyone all disappeared into the transmission array, the originally hollow eyes of that faint phantom of Xie Lingzi actually became spirited!


    This Xie Lingzi was originally just an array formation projection. At this time, it actually contained intelligence!


    Only to see Xie Lingzi smile sinisterly and said, "Heh heh, what a clever boy! But to want to escape from the contingencies this old man set up, how can it be something that easy? Jeje ��"


    Amidst the strange laughter, Xie Lingzi''s faint phantom gradually vanished.


    ...


    A light flashed. Figures of people walked out from inside the transmission array.


    It was total darkness before their eyes. Even if martial artists'' visual prowess far surpassed ordinary people, the areas they could see were merely around 100 feet or so.


    "What �� What kind of place is here? So dark!"


    "Why do I feel like we seemed to have entered a tomb?"


    "With you saying this, it''s really so! Could it be that this is that Xie Lingzi''s tomb?"


    After a couple of words, everyone discovered this place''s peculiarities very quickly.


    "Could it be that this place is the true core area of this ancient grotto? Which is also to say that, us coming over from this transmission array was the correct choice?" Ying Tianya said.


    Ying Tianya knew that concealing the risk of this ancient grotto made Ye Yuan unhappy in his heart. Therefore, he basically stood firmly on Ye Yuan''s side afterward, in order to obtain Ye Yuan''s forgiveness.


    Ying Tianya was considered to have figured it out. Wanting to exit this ancient grotto, it still had to depend on Ye Yuan in the end.


    Therefore, him entering the transmission array without any hesitation earlier was in order to express his firm stand.


    "Ying Tianya, stop flattering Ye Yuan! This place is full of sinisterness, there might be some danger. Saying that this path is correct now, be careful not to smack your own face in a while!" Pei Wenqiang said.


    Ying Tianya said with a cold smile, "Don''t follow after if you have the capabilities! Already came and you''re still making sarcastic remarks at one side. Your skin is really thick! You look at Master He, after entering, he didn''t even let out a fart! This is being sensible!"


    He Shuming''s old face flushed red all at once again. But for the sake of keeping his small life, he still kept his mouth shut sensibly.


    Tan Wu already died. His position right now was very awkward. It was better to be a little low-profile.


    "Ying Tianya, you''re courting death!"


    "What? You think I''m scared of you?"


    The two people exchanged words, getting dangerously explosive for a moment.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Pei Wenqiang, just stop for a bit. Everyone is like ants on one line right now. If you really want to take the road to ruin, I won''t stop you either. But if you want to leave alive, behave yourself a little! Keep stirring up trouble, I don''t dare to guarantee that something won''t happen next time!"


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression changed as he said, "Ye Yuan, are you threatening me here?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Threaten you? With this bit of strength, how can I dare to threaten you? Or perhaps, in this place, do I have a need to threaten you?"


    Inside this grotto was filled with dangers and did not need to threaten at all.


    When they encounter danger again, Ye Yuan just had to push the boat along the current would do.


    Pei Wenqiang also knew that the areas currently relying on Ye Yuan right now were many. This threat that wasn''t a threat was very practical. He gave a cold snort and actually really did not speak anymore.


    The group of people continued exploring ahead, incredibly cautious along the way. But in a rare moment, no dangers appeared at all.


    No idea how long either, it suddenly became bright in front of them. They actually arrived at an open and wide zone.


    "En? How fragrant!"


    "What smell is that? It''s actually so fragrant?"


    All of a sudden, a wave of delicate fragrance came over, boring into everyone''s nostrils, immediately making them have a feeling of refreshing their hearts and minds.


    When Ye Yuan saw everyone''s intoxicated appearance, his expression involuntarily changed and he hurriedly yelled, "Don''t smell! This fragrance is poisonous!"


    However, it was already too late ��

 754 Xu Yan

    Thud, thud, thud ��


    The group of people fell weakly to the ground one by one. It was clearly the symptom of being poisoned.


    "I �� Why do I feel weak all over, unable to use any essence energy at all?"


    "Just what the hell is this thing? To actually lose all essence energy with a sniff of the fragrance!"


    The group of martial artists, they were all whining incessantly. They did not expect to succumb again by accident.


    Boundless Realm martial artists were all collapsed on the ground, unable to move at all. Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists were slightly better, but the situation was not very good too.


    That yell of Ye Yuan''s had some effect in the end. The other martial artists sealed off their sense of smell right away. Only then did it prevent the tragedy of the poisoning deepening.


    "You guys are also too careless! Inside this grotto is filled with traps everywhere. This light fragrance clearly problematic and you all actually still fell for it!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Not afraid of god-like opponents, only scared of pig-like teammates.


    Already until now and these guys were all still so forgetful, succumbing so easily. Simply don''t know how the word death was written.


    "What kind of poison is this? I only sniffed a little bit just now, and I''m actually weak all over. Feels like I''m unable to muster up essence energy," Pei Wenqiang also said helplessly at this time.


    His reaction was already very quick. But he still fell for it.


    Although it was not to the extent of collapsing to the ground like the others, if they were to fight at this time, he most likely was not even Ye Yuan''s match.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "This is the floral fragrance of the Strange Nether Flower, a poison specially targeting martial artists'' essence energy! Those inflicted with the poison, their meridians will shrivel up, and they will be limp all over. Their essence energy can''t be mustered up at all! If you all smell a little while longer, you don''t need me to save you. You''ll definitely go and meet King Yama directly!"


    Ye Yuan''s current mood was very foul. What made him unhappy was not that these people got poisoned, but the Strange Nether Flower.


    In his previous life, the poison he and Ji Zhengyang got inflicted with was refined using the Strange Nether Flower. Its might was incredible.


    Ye Yuan didn''t think that he would actually encounter the Strange Nether Flower again here. How could this not make him vexed?


    But the Tier 9 Strange Nether Flower was extremely rare. Even with the Divine Realm''s vast territory and abundant resources, it was very seldom to be able to see it as well.


    The rank of the Strange Nether Flower these people smelled shouldn''t be high. Otherwise, with their cultivation realm, how could they still be alive?


    Forget about them, even if Ye Yuan had the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood protecting his body, it could not ward off the poison of a Tier 9 Strange Nether Flower too.


    However, Pei Wenqiang perceived the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words and could not help saying joyfully, "Your meaning is �� you''re able to treat the poison in our bodies?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I treat you?"


    Pei Wenqiang didn''t expect that Ye Yuan''s words previously actually came true so quickly. It was truly retribution.


    "This �� I can give you earth essence crystals! Also, I assure you that after you treat me, I absolutely won''t make things difficult for you anymore!" Pei Wenqiang hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan took a look at him and said with a cold snort, "From entering the grotto until now, you finally said something decent! Brother Jun, you''re poisoned the least. Stay behind and take care of them. I''ll go find the way to get rid of the poison!"


    In this group of people, Jun Tianyu''s alertness was the highest. Therefore, he was poisoned the least.


    Except that hearing Ye Yuan''s words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "You going by yourself is too dangerous. Better for me to come along with you. If these people die, then they die. Nothing to feel pity about."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The flora fragrance of the Strange Nether Flower is so thick, it should be nearby. I can handle it alone. Brother Jun better stay behind."


    "This �� Alright then."


    After Ye Yuan left, Pei Wenqiang suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Younger Brother Jun, just what background does this Ye Yuan have? He possesses such strength at a young age. At the very least, he''s also an Alchemy Emperor successor, right?"


    Truthfully speaking, Pei Wenqiang really admired Ye Yuan very much. His bad temper towards Ye Yuan was primarily more on the fact that Ye Yuan did not give him any face.


    Jun Tianyu said coolly when he heard this, "Younger Brother Ye is it? He''s just a lower realm ascender."


    Pei Wenqiang nearly jumped up, exclaiming in shock, "What?! You''re saying that he''s just an ascender?"


    Pei Wenqiang never would have dreamed that such a prodigious youth was actually just an ascender!


    As the ruler of a city, Pei Wenqiang was too familiar with ascenders'' strength.


    Among a million ascenders, there might not be one with accomplishments.


    Even if there was one with accomplishments, it was also not possible to be this freakish like Ye Yuan.


    From outside the grotto until now, the various means Ye Yuan displayed was simply fantastical.


    An Alchemy Path genius like this was actually just an ascender!


    Hearing Jun Tianyu''s words, the group of martial artists were very surprised too. For a moment, there were many discussions.


    And right at this time, a black shadow slowly walked out from the darkness.


    "Who''s there?!"


    Jun Tianyu''s brows jumped up. If any enemy came at this time, it was not some good thing.


    That black shadow''s profile gradually became clear. A young man dressed in a blue garment appeared in front of everyone.


    "Junior!"


    "Xu Yan!"


    When Ying Tianya and Pei Wenqiang saw the arrival, they both had looks of astonishment.


    After Ying Tianya stared blankly, he immediately revealed an expression of wild elation.


    "Junior, it''s really great that you''re alright!" Ying Tianya immediately went up to welcome.


    But right then, Jun Tianyu grabbed hold of him.


    "Brother Jun, what are you doing? He''s my junior apprentice brother, Xu Yan. With him around, he can ensure our safety!" Ying Tianya even thought that Jun Tianyu was mistaken and hurriedly explained.


    Jun Tianyu''s brows were tightly locked, an appearance as if confronting a formidable foe as he slowly said, "There''s a problem with this person!"


    "Sigh! I''ve been very close with Junior since young. I can recognize him even if he turned to ashes. What problem can there be?" Ying Tianya said without a care.


    "You told us previously that your junior was poisoned by a peculiar poison, so he needed an alchemist to come in and treat. But you look at him, how is there any hint of being poisoned?" Jun Tianyu said.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, you take a look at me, who else can I be if not Xu Yan?" The blue-clothed youth said with a smile.


    Ying Tianya was slightly hesitant. He also felt that it was somewhat amiss. The timing Xu Yan appeared was seriously too coincidental. Moreover, if he was completely fine, why did he send him a message?


    "You say that you''re Xu Yan, do you have any proof?" Ying Tianya said alertly.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, have you forgotten? Back then, we secretly descended the mountain and were punished by Master to repent facing the cliff for a year! Also, when we were small, I was bullied by our fellow apprentices. It was you who stepped forward to beat them off ��"


    Xu Yan stated a number of incidences in a row and finally made Ying Tianya loosen up his guard.


    Even Jun Tianyu gradually became relaxed too when he saw Ying Tianya''s expression.


    This sort of thing, if it was not the person in the flesh, it was completely impossible to know.


    "Junior, it''s really you!" Ying Tianya went up to hug Xu Yan with an agitated look.


    But right at this time, Xu Yan suddenly smiled evilly and said, "You fools actually delivered yourselves to the door one by one. Truly foolish to the max. Better let me exonerate you all!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan finally found the Strange Nether Flower all by himself following the floral fragrance.


    This was a sea of flowers, and at the center, there was an altar.


    On the altar, there was a massive coffin.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing.

 755 Theres a Problem

    "Hope Spirit Wood, Strange Nether Flower, Soul-Sealing Stone! No wonder there are so many Strange Nether Flowers here. Turns out that it is to borrow the power of the Strange Nether Flowers to seal up a divine soul! Looks like this ancient grotto is indeed a scheme set up to exist countless years!" Ye Yuan said as his expression changed slightly.


    Strange Nether Flowers were able to make martial artists lose essence energy, but it still had another function!


    Coupled with Hope Spirit Wood and Soul-Sealing Stones, it could reduce the expenditure of the divine soul to the maximum degree.


    Ye Yuan saw that the altar was constructed entirely from Soul-Sealing Stones at first sight, while the coffin was made from Hope Spirit Wood.


    Assembling these things together and complementing with secret arts, one could seal up the divine soul and keep the divine soul from perishing!


    This sort of method was extremely obscure. Ye Yuan only saw it before in an ancient record.


    Now, seeing this altar and coffin, he immediately connected it together.


    "Humph! Looks like this Xie Lingzi has wishful thinking of resisting the Heavenly Dao, wanting to obtain the opportunity to revive through this sort of means! Looks like Qin Meixuan they all being refined into puppets and placed in the plaza was not by chance. This kind of method requires large numbers of martial artists'' divine soul as nourishment, while us, these people, entering the ancient grotto precisely provides this kind of opportunity for him! Heh, such insidious means!" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    This sort of method was very vicious, requiring large numbers of living souls as a sacrifice. Therefore, Ye Yuan was very repulsed with this too.


    It was just that revulsion was revulsion. Even if he knew Xie Lingzi used this sort of means, Ye Yuan did not have that ability to counter it either.


    According to Ye Yuan''s calculations, this Xie Lingzi''s strength should be Peak Dao Profound Realm. Furthermore, he had extraordinary attainments in the Formations Path and Alchemy Path.


    How could the contingency set up by such a person possibly be wrecked by a Divine Traversing Realm boy?


    But Ye Yuan could confirm one point, being able to arrive here indicated that the transmission array he chose was right!


    If he went to choose the other two transmission arrays, it would surely be even more perilous.


    The pressing matter on hand was to cure those people. Otherwise, once their divine souls were devoured by Xie Lingzi, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    Regarding finding the antidote this sort of thing, Ye Yuan was still very adept.


    Since there was such a large patch of Strange Nether Flowers, there must be the antidote item here. Either way, these Strange Nether Flowers could not cause harm to Ye Yuan. Hence, he also started searching with no scruples at all.


    Strange Nether Flowers this kind of exotic poisonous object, under normal circumstances, the antidote item could be found in the vicinity.


    It was just that people who did not understand medicinal theory, even if the antidote was placed in front of them, they would not recognize it either.


    Roughly an hour later, Ye Yuan finally found the antidote item under a thicket of Strange Nether Flowers: the Pinnate Star Grass!


    This process lasted close to four hours. Ye Yuan found a total of eight stalks of Pinnate Star Grass. Using to resolve the Strange Nether Flower poison of so many people should be more than plenty.


    Obtaining the antidote, Ye Yuan was just about to leave, but heard a series of groaning sounds!


    "H-Help ��"


    Indistinctly, Ye Yuan heard someone calling for help.


    But in this place, apart from those martial artists traveling together with him, who else would call for help?


    And this voice clearly came from the direction of the coffin. This direction was direct opposite from the direction he came from, making it even less likely to be the martial artists traveling with him.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, but finally still decided to leave!


    This place was too dangerous. Who knew if this cry for help was a major trap or not.


    But just as he was about to walk away, that voice came over once more. "H-Help �� I �� I am �� Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s �� Xu Yan!"


    Hearing this name, Ye Yuan finally could not resist stopping his footsteps.


    He was not foreign to Xu Yan this name. Wasn''t it precisely Ying Tianya''s junior apprentice brother?


    Ying Tianya said that his junior was poisoned with a peculiar poison, that was why he would find him to come with He Shuming. Now, this sort of situation, could it be that what Xu Yan was inflicted with was this Strange Nether Flower''s poison?


    With a couple of leaps, Ye Yuan arrived in close proximity of the altar. Indeed, he saw a blue-clothed youth lying at the fringe of the altar, on his deathbed. His appearance was miserable.


    "You''re Xu Yan?" Ye Yuan asked with furrowed brows.


    Xu Yan nodded his head with a feeble look and said, "I-It''s precisely me! L-Little brother, you actually know me! Could it be that �� you''re brought in by my senior apprentice brother? You showed up here; what �� what about my senior apprentice brother?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted slightly. Sweeping a glance over Xu Yan, he discovered that he was indeed poisoned very severely.


    Being poisoned or not, it was impossible to hide from Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not let his guard down and kept observing Xu Yan''s expression continuously. The tiniest bit of his actions all could not hide from Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    It was just that during this process, Xu Yan''s expression did not have any irregular aspects; it was just the expression of a person who had despaired but then saw hope.


    "Your senior apprentice brother was poisoned too. He''s just over there. I''m here to find the antidote for him." Ye Yuan said.


    Xu Yan was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "R-Really? T-That''s great! Little brother, could you �� bring me over to meet my senior apprentice brother or not?''


    Ye Yuan said, "How will you go over like this? I better treat your poison first."


    As he said, Ye Yuan brought out the Square Cauldron and refined the Pinnate Star Grass into juice. Then placing in a container, he took out a bit for Xu Yan.


    "Can �� Can this thing work?" Xu Yan asked doubtfully.


    "Of course it can!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xu Yan drank the Pinnate Star Grass juice dubiously. Indeed, he discovered that the essence energy within his body recovered little by little.


    Before long, Xu Yan stood up like someone who was fine.


    "Haha! Little brother is indeed not an ordinary person! Great kindness can''t be thanked with words! Xu Yan will definitely repay generously!" Xu Yan clasped his hands and said.


    But Ye Yuan said indifferently, "You''re welcome. I was trying my best to do what was entrusted to me too."


    "How can that do! My senior is my senior, I''m me! Oh, right, quickly bring me to go find Senior Apprentice Brother. I''m very worried about him too," Xu Yan said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and led Xu Yan over to the place everyone was resting.


    "Young Master, something is wrong with this person! You got to be careful!" Ye Yuan was just walking when the Qin Meixuan inside the spatial spirit artifact actually transmitted to him through divine sense.


    "En, I know." Ye Yuan''s reaction showed that he was not too surprised.


    Rather, it was Qin Meixuan who had a look of astonishment when she saw Ye Yuan''s appearance of holding the pearl of wisdom in his hands.


    "You know?" Qin Meixuan''s cherry-like mouth opened to form a circle.


    She saw Ye Yuan''s action previously and even thought that Ye Yuan was already hoodwinked by Xu Yan. That was why she voiced out to warn. Who knew that Ye Yuan saw through it long ago.


    Ye Yuan said, "En, this physical body should be Xu Yan without a doubt. But the divine soul probably isn''t himself already. He thinks that he concealed it very well. Actually, when I pried into the Strange Nether Flower poison in his body, I already saw through the anomalous."


    Qin Meixuan had a look of astonishment. She still did not quite believe it at first, but hearing Ye Yuan said it so firmly, she knew that he was not bragging. He really saw through it.


    It was just that she did not quite dare to believe Ye Yuan actually saw through that this Xu Yan was actually possessed already in the time he took to inspect the wounds.


    "Young Master, since you saw through the irregularity, then why did you still help him resolve the poison?" Qin Meixuan asked puzzledly.

 756 What Are You Afraid Of?

    "He dared to let himself get poisoned, he naturally has ways to resolve the poison. Whether I treat him or not, it doesn''t matter to him at all. To still play this sort of games with me with his strength, he must have other schemes. Since that''s the case, why don''t I play along with him and take a look at what on earth he''s trying to do? Exposing him now is detrimental and not helpful to me," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Qin Meixuan threw herself at Ye Yuan''s feet in admiration when she heard that.


    Facing a powerful adversary like Xu Yan, to be able to see through right away and keep a presence of mind in the face of danger, pushing the boat along the current, how powerful a heart and strength did this require?!


    "Young Master is indeed formidable! But there is a familiar smell on this person''s body. It''s just that he hid it very covertly, so I don''t know who he is either." Qin Meixuan said.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "Familiar smell? Could it be �� Xie Lingzi?"


    Qin Meixuan shook her head, her expression suddenly becoming fierce as she said, "No. I would recognize that guy even if he turns to ash!"


    "Like this huh, I got it."


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised in his heart. If Xu Yan were possessed by Xie Lingzi, he would not be surprised at all.


    But according to what Qin Meixuan said, this Xu Yan was actually not possessed by Xie Lingzi. Could it be that there were still other people casting covetous eyes here?


    All of a sudden, the situation became even more complicated.


    Before long, Ye Yuan brought Xu Yan to the place everyone was resting at, but it was already completely empty.


    This kind of situation was actually long within Ye Yuan''s expectations. He was indifferent about the others, it was just that Jun Tianyu''s safety, Ye Yuan was very worried.


    But the more it was like so, the more he exhorted himself to be calm.


    "This �� Where are the people? They were clearly resting here previously. Why are they all gone?" Ye Yuan deliberately panicked and said.


    "Little Brother, are you mistaken? Or perhaps, they couldn''t wait for you and left by themselves?" Xu Yan said uncertainly.


    "Impossible! They were all inflicted with the Strange Nether Flower''s poison and can''t walk far at all. Unless ��" Ye Yuan''s face revealed an expression of thick worry.


    "Unless what?"


    "Unless they were captured by people and rounded up in one fell swoop!" Ye Yuan said.


    Xu Yan''s expression changed as he said, "Senior Apprentice Brother and I are as close as brothers. No way, I must go and save him!"


    Ye Yuan sneered inwardly, but on the surface he asked, "There is only one path here. We didn''t see anybody at all just now. Where were they captured and brought to?"


    Xu Yan was secretly delighted and said, "There isn''t just one path here. There is still a hidden pass at the side. I discovered it when I came. It''s just that I haven''t had time to go in and explore, then I got poisoned. In my opinion, they must have been brought away by people through there!"


    Indeed, he showed his true colors!


    This fellow schemed and used every trick, probably in order to lure him into this so-called hidden pass, right?


    However �� go on in then! Who''s afraid of who!


    "Then what are we still waiting for? Quickly go in!" Ye Yuan said.


    Xu Yan was touched and said, "Little Brother is indeed loyal enough!"


    Finished talking, Xu Yan arrived at a dark place with large stride and fumbled around on the wall. With a creak, a passageway actually really appeared.


    "Go!" Xu Yan took the lead in. Ye Yuan followed closely behind and went in too.


    This passageway was very narrow. It could only accommodate two people passing through.


    Xu Yan''s speed was very fast. Ye Yuan could still see his back view at the start. But as they walked, his figure actually vanished in the cave.


    "Heh, I want to take a look at what kind of mysterious person you are!" Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and actually did not even turn his head around, moving straight ahead swiftly.


    This dark passageway seemingly had no end in sight forever. But Ye Yuan did not care, moving forward all the way quickly.


    No idea how long had passed either. Ye Yuan suddenly felt it light up before his eyes, becoming bright suddenly.


    Looking over, he actually arrived at an enormous rock cave.


    Looking again, there was a massive stone pillar in the center of the rock cave. On the stone pillar actually tied one martial artist after another.


    These martial artists were precisely the Jun Tianyu party captured by Xu Yan!


    The surroundings of the stone pillar actually had several thousand lanterns suspending in the entire rock cave.


    Lantern light flickered faintly, linking up in one stretch between each other, forming a large net.


    Within the large net, those martial artists all revealed pained expressions, as if something was being extracted from their bodies.


    Seeing this sort of situation, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing. "Grayflame Heretic Fire! Starmist Radiantfire Formation!"


    Ye Yuan actually fell into a grand array set up using essence fire unknowingly!


    Clap �� Clap �� Clap ��


    A figure came out from behind the stone pillar, slowly giving a few claps as he said smilingly, "You, this boy, indeed have some experience. Along the way, your means emerged in endless streams. I didn''t expect that you even recognize the Grayflame Heretic Fire and the Starmist Radiantfire Formation!"


    This figure was none other than precisely the Xu Yan who previously disappeared.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his expression darkened slightly as he said, "You racked your brain so hard to lure me here. It isn''t in order to flatter me a little, right?"


    Xu Yan said with a smile, "Looking at your appearance, you''re quite calm. I wonder if you''ll still be able to be so collected or not after I extract out the essence fire within your body in a while?"


    Xu Yan stared at Ye Yuan, very much wanting to see the expression of fear and panic on his face.


    However, Ye Yuan disappointed him.


    Ye Yuan''s face only revealed an expression of sudden realization as he said with a smile, "So, it''s a primordial spirit that''s about to be extinguished. No wonder you captured them, but let me go, and lured me here."


    Xu Yan''s expression changed when he heard that. He had a feeling of being stripped bare. It was as if all of him was presented in front of Ye Yuan without holding anything back.


    "You �� How did you know that I''m a primordial spirit?" Xu Yan said coldly.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xu Yan like he was looking at an idiot and said indifferently, "You laid down this Starmist Radiantfire Formation and extracted the essence energy within their bodies, isn''t in order to recover your main body''s strength? You want to extract the essence energy in my body. It should be because you''ve taken fancy on Fiery who has unlocked intelligence and is about to give birth to a primordial spirit, right? You just have to devour Fiery, and you can let yourself recover to your peak state. Therefore, you deliberately let me go and lured me here, because you''re afraid that I would seek mutual destruction and destroy Fiery, right?"


    "Who on earth are you? To actually guess everything correctly just by taking one look at the array formation!"


    Facing Ye Yuan, Xu Yan actually became uneasy. Even though his strength could crush Ye Yuan, but at this very moment, Xu Yan actually felt that Ye Yuan was a very troublesome opponent!


    This young man was too scary. He did not say anything, and he actually pointed out his identity as well as the trap that he devised painstakingly, all of it.


    Even ordinary Alchemy Emperor powerhouses could not possibly have such understanding towards essence fires too, right?


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Me? I''m merely an ordinary alchemist. Now that I''ve already entered the array formation, my life and death are grasped by your hands. What are you afraid of?"


    Xu Yan no longer had that composure from before as he gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, don''t be pleased with yourself! When you receive my main body''s refinement in a while, hope that you can still laugh so happily!"

 757 Back-Up Plan

    "Starmist Radiantfire Formation, refine for me!"


    Following Xu Yan''s fierce cry, those lanterns suddenly gave off a blinding light, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    Ye Yuan was brought to mid-air immediately by this enveloping.


    His four limbs were constrained by the Starmist Radiantfire Formation, unable to move at all.


    The powerful Grayflame Heretic Fire burned Ye Yuan''s fleshy body non-stop. A powerful force wanted to drag Fiery out from inside his body.


    In front of the powerful Grayflame Heretic Fire, Ye Yuan seemed to not have the leeway to resist at all.


    It was only to see his eyebrows locked tightly, showing an expression of great pain.


    "Hahaha! Looking at your appearance as if you''re holding the pearl of wisdom in your hands, I thought how powerful you''d be! In the end, aren''t you still seized without resistance? Boy, have a proper taste of the might of the Grayflame Heretic Fire and suffer the agony of being refined to the fullest extent!


    "Ugh ��"


    Ye Yuan groaned muffledly in anguish. Soybean size sweat-beads oozed out on his forehead very quickly.


    The sensation of being refined by a peak Tier 7 flame was not that enjoyable. Moreover, that grand array formed a powerful tearing force, wanting to forcefully pull Fiery out from inside his body.


    Ye Yuan and Fiery had their minds linked together long ago already. This kind of tearing force was just like ripping open the scars on Ye Yuan''s body bit by bit.


    That sort of agony penetrated to the deepest area of the heart, virtually almost making him faint.


    But Ye Yuan knew that once he fainted, everything would be over.


    So he endured the intense pain, using all the strength in his body to protect Fiery and not let him be dragged out.


    "Damn it! Why isn''t it here yet?! Still not coming, little lord, I, almost can''t hold on anymore!" Ye Yuan secretly cursed in his heart.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not follow Xu Yan into a dangerous place foolishly. Before coming in, he made a back-up plan.


    It was just that that back-up plan, he himself was unable to control too.


    Now, all the hope was on that back-up plan!


    "Hahaha �� How is it? The taste is not bad, right? Rest assured, after you die, I''ll treat your essence fire well and let him become a part of my body!" Xu Yan laughed loudly without restraint.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred!


    An incredibly powerful soul force instantly enveloped the entire rock cave!


    "Grayflame! You disappoint this Emperor too greatly! This Emperor treated you well and even let you give birth to a primordial spirit. I didn''t expect that you actually dared to betray this Emperor!" an aged and hollow voice sounded out, echoing throughout the entire rock cave.


    A faint phantom stood in the air. It was precisely that old man who proclaimed to be Xie Lingzi that Ye Yuan and the others saw before entering the transmission array!


    Although Ye Yuan was in incredible agony right now, he still kept his mind sharp.


    Hearing this voice, he knew that his guess was indeed not wrong. This Xie Lingzi was indeed a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse, which was also an Emperor Realm powerhouse!


    Seeing that phantom in the air, Xu Yan''s expression involuntarily changed abruptly, exclaiming in shock, "Y-You, how can you wake up in advance?! Without these divine soul supply, how can you possibly awaken in advance?"


    At this time, Xie Lingzi actually shot a glance at Ye Yuan and said coolly, "This will have to thank this little brother. It was him who disturb the Luo Tian Soul Sealing Grand Array, awakening me from slumber! If not for him, you probably won''t give me the opportunity to awaken, right?"


    "What?! This �� How is this possible? His every action is all under my surveillance. How can there possibly be a chance to disturb the Luo Tian Soul Sealing Grand Array?" Xu Yan had a look of disbelief.


    Starting from when Ye Yuan entered this ancient grotto, each and every one of his action was under Xu Yan''s surveillance.


    Previously, when he was at the altar place, it was even less likely for Xu Yan to give him this opportunity. Then how on earth did Ye Yuan set up this back-up plan?


    Xie Lingzi looked at Xu Yan rather pitiably and said, "You''re able to sense that the essence fire within his body has unlocked intelligence, but don''t know what his essence fire is! Speaking of which, I''m very astonished too. He actually obtained the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, and let the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame unlock a primordial spirit when at Tier 5. Truly inconceivable."


    "C-Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus!" Hearing this name, Xu Yan was seized with a look of panic.


    If it were the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, then everything would fall into place.


    When Ye Yuan was at the sacrificial altar previously, he already discovered something amiss with Xu Yan, so he secretly made Fiery leave behind a clone on the sly.


    After they left, this clone triggered the Luo Tian Soul Sealing Grand Array and made Xie Lingzi awaken in advance.


    "You''re very surprised too, are you not? The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus isn''t very powerful among essence fires, but the room for growth is huge. It''s just that the advancement of essence fires, the conditions required are extremely harsh. Ordinary alchemists would not put in much effort to nurture one type of essence fire at all. But once the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus matures to boundary similar to yours, its strength is enough to overwhelm you. What''s even harder to come by is that this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually unlocked its intelligence and furthermore, it''s already not far from giving birth to a primordial spirit!" Xie Lingzi said coolly.


    The nurturing of essence fires was entirely different from martial artists'' cultivation. The conditions required were extremely harsh, and there was also a huge part up to luck.


    Even Ye Yuan did not think of using the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame all the way at the beginning too. His cultivation speed was much faster compared to the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s advancement speed.


    If not for Fiery giving birth to spiritual wisdom accidentally, Ye Yuan would have abandoned it before long.


    Although he hated to part with it, once Ye Yuan broke through to the Boundless Realm, the function of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame would really be negligible.


    Xu Yan''s expression was incomparably ugly, glaring at the Ye Yuan who was still in agony, brimming with killing intent!


    He calculated everything but did not consider that Ye Yuan actually still had such a back-up plan.


    "This punk, turns out that he already saw through me at the sacrificial altar!" Xu Yan gnashed his teeth and said.


    Xie Lingzi suddenly heaved a sigh and said, "Grayflame, back in those days when you and I joined hands, how glorious it was! I didn''t expect that time has passed and circumstances have changed, you actually carried out such a betrayal! Why was there a need?"


    Xu Yan''s expression was slightly cold as he said, "Pooh! The glory was yours, I was just a chess piece in your hands! The most hateful thing was that if you died, then you died. But you actually even wanted to suppress me in this damned place, nearly causing my primordial spirit to be extinguished! Heaven has eyes and finally let me break through the seal before you woke up! Of course I have to obtain freedom!"


    Xie Lingzi said indifferently, "So you seized this body, then lured these people in here to attempt to recover your strength, and then throttle me?"


    Xu Yan said with a cold smile, "So what then? At present, this world is already completely different from our time! Deity Realm powerhouses vanished without a trace overnight. This world can no longer give birth to Deity Realm powerhouses. As long as I recover to my peak strength, I''ll be able to do whatever I want in this world! Don''t tell me you still want me to be your dog, never to rise up for all eternity?"


    The Grayflame Heretic Fire possessing Xu Yan had inherited his memories too and already knew this world had already changed.

 758 Fiery Advances!

    Hearing Grayflame''s words, Xie Lingzi''s expression changed drastically too.


    "What did you say?! This world can no longer give birth to Deity Realm powerhouses?"


    Grayflame laughed coldly and said, "You aren''t still having your unrealistic dream, right? Even if you revive once again, it''s also impossible to break through the shackles and reach Deity Realm!"


    "You! Simply preposterous! How can Deity Realm powerhouses possibly vanish without a trace overnight? Who has such incredible ability to make Deity Realm powerhouses disappear unknown to God or ghost?"


    Xie Lingzi''s life-long goal was the Deity Realm. Even if he did not reach this goal in the end, he prepared a series of contingencies, in order to break through to the Deity Realm!


    But now, Grayflame actually told him that he could no longer reach Deity Realm anymore. This made him unable to accept it at all.


    "Hahaha �� Xie Ling, when I seized this body, my first reaction at that time was exactly the same as yours! But later, I became open-minded. Even if I''m not able to reach Deity Realm, so what? As long as my strength is formidable enough, I can live very comfortably in this world all the same!" Grayflame said with a loud laugh.


    Grayflame had clearly accepted this fact long ago. He was a peak Tier 9 primordial spirit back then.


    As long as he recovered his peak strength, he could absolutely live very comfortably in the Divine Realm.


    Xie Lingzi suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Other people can''t break through the Deity Realm, doesn''t mean that I''m unable to break through! This Emperor prepared many contingencies for this. I don''t believe that I can''t break through to the Deity Realm! Now �� Grayflame, return to this Emperor''s embrace!"


    Xie Lingzi suddenly mumbled some words, like he was reciting some incantation.


    "ARGH!!"


    A sharp and miserably cry was emitted from Xu Yan''s mouth.


    As the owner of the Grayflame Heretic Fire, the two people actually did not remove the subservient relationship all along.


    These two people each harbored their own sinister motives. Xie Lingzi had never trusted Grayflame before.


    This incantation had tremendous damage to Grayflame''s primordial spirit. Therefore, it was able to put him in excruciating agony.


    "Old thing, you''re seeking death! If you were at your prime, I''d still be a little apprehensive of you! But now, you''re just a wisp of a remnant soul! Starmist Radiantfire Formation, exterminate him for me!" Xu Yan cried out miserably.


    Xie Lingzi deployed the Starmist Radiantfire Formation while he was screaming wretchedly, wanting to deal a lethal blow to Xie Lingzi.


    However, no matter how he called out to his main body, there was actually no reaction.


    Seeing the situation, Xu Yan''s heart unwittingly thumped, thinking to himself that it was bad.


    Not just Xie Lingzi, even Xie Lingzi was amazed too, and unwittingly looked over in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    But saw light halos floating around Ye Yuan. A lotus flower grew out of his chest and was actually devouring the Grayflame Heretic Fire''s main body continuously!


    When Xu Yan saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically!


    "This �� Just how on earth did this boy do it? He''s actually absorbing my main body''s fire origin power!" Xu Yan said with a look of panic.


    It was only at this time did he discover that Ye Yuan''s essence energy actually counter-suppressed his main body Grayflame Heretic Fire starting since God knows when, reverse-devouring the Grayflame Heretic Fire''s fire origin power!


    "Boy, quickly stop! If you still don''t stop, I''ll make you die horribly!" Xu Yan cried out in alarm.


    At this time, how could the Grayflame Heretic Fire still care about gobbling up Fiery? It was already pretty good if he was not swallowed up.


    Fortunately, Grayflame possessed Xu Yan and inherited all of his strength. He was a genuine late-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse right now!


    In this rock cave, his strength was the most powerful!


    Even the Xie Lingzi who had just woken up was not his match either in a real fight with the gloves off!


    Xu Yan suddenly erupted, attacking towards the Ye Yuan inside the array formation.


    Xie Lingzi''s gaze twinkled. Suddenly, his mouth opened and closed again, and started to mutter incantations.


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    Xu Yan''s figure was suddenly akin to being struck by lighting, dropping down from the air directly, and smashing heavily onto the ground.


    "Xie Ling, you old undying man! I''ll kill you first!"


    Enduring the intense pain, Grayflame struggled to his feet and slashed at Xie Lingzi with a sword.


    Even though Xu Yan was unable to unleash his full power right now, this attack was by no means insignificant.


    It was just that wanting to deal with Xie Lingzi under this kind of circumstances, clearly, it was still a little lacking.


    Xie Lingzi had clearly set some sort of contract with the Grayflame Heretic Fire. Xie Lingzi could keep him in check through this sort of method.


    Even if Xie Lingzi''s current soul force was lacking and he did not have a physical body to house the divine soul too, it was also not easy for Xie Lingzi to want to kill him.


    If Xie Lingzi could be dealt with so easily, Grayflame also would not need to contrive all kinds of schemes to lure so many martial artists to come to this ancient grotto.


    Now, it was only to see Xie Lingzi fluttered lightly, avoiding this attack very effortlessly.


    "Boy, double up. Help me clean up my household. Later, I''ll give you benefits!" Xie Lingzi suddenly opened his mouth and said to Ye Yuan.


    Just earlier, when Xie Lingzi and Grayflame were conversing, a hint of sluggishness appeared in Grayflame''s control over the grand array.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan''s control over essence fire was peak Alchemy Emperor class. Even if this Xie Lingzi revived, he would not catch up to Ye Yuan even by whipping his horse in the path of essence fire.


    Making use of this gap, Ye Yuan counter-suppressed the Grayflame Heretic Fire''s main body soundlessly, and directly let out Fiery, letting him devour the Grayflame Heretic Fire''s fire origin power!


    The Grayflame Heretic Fire''s fire origin power was a major tonic to Fiery. The moment Fiery appeared, he gobbled up the Grayflame Heretic Fire without any modesty.


    Except, just this short while, Fiery''s strength already soared dramatically, and actually broke through to peak Tier 5 directly!


    But this was still just a start. This Grayflame Heretic Fire was a peak Tier 9 essence fire formerly. Even if its strength was greatly diminished now, it also had sufficient fire origin power to offer Fiery to devour.


    When Ye Yuan heard Xie Lingzi''s words, his face could not help revealing a look of ecstasy as he said, "Senior''s great kindness, this Ye will never forget it!"


    Fiery greedily devoured the Grayflame Heretic Fire and actually directly broke through Tier 5, reaching Tier 6!


    Bang, bang, bang.


    Along with Fiery''s devouring, the might of the Starmist Radiantfire Array was also weakening rapidly. Jun Tianyu they all fell from the stone column one by one.


    Except, each and every one of them were still unconscious. This Grayflame Heretic Fire''s devouring caused considerable harm to him.


    "Argh! Master, I was wrong, Master! I �� I shouldn''t have betrayed you! I beg you, let me off, I''m willing to swear fealty to you forever!"


    Xie Lingzi rolled on the ground in pain, finally yelling out non-stop. He finally submitted under Xie Lingzi''s incantations.


    This sort of contractual power had immense restraining power towards the Grayflame Heretic Fire.


    As long as Xie Lingzi still had a wisp of remnant soul remaining, the Grayflame Heretic Fire could not escape his control too.


    The Grayflame Heretic Fire himself was peak Tier 9 strength too. Furthermore, he gave birth to a primordial spirit. How could he be willing to be under others?


    What made him even more resentful was that Xie Lingzi did not even let him off before dying, suppressing him in this grotto.


    Of course, this was Xie Lingzi making preparations for his revival anew. Who knew that through the erosion of time, the seal he laid down was actually broken through by the Grayflame Heretic Fire. Only then, was there so many incidents today.


    "Huhu, only knowing to repent and mend your ways now huh. It''s already too late!" Xie Lingzi said coldly.

 759 Possession

    While he was talking, Xie Lingzi''s gaze was looking over toward Ye Yuan.


    That gaze was as if admiring a work of art.


    Fiery was still devouring the Grayflame Heretic Fire continuously. Gradually, Fiery''s appearance actually underwent a transformation!


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus already separated from Ye Yuan''s body and landed quietly on the ground, becoming bigger and bigger.


    Very soon, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus grew to a person''s height!


    It''s branches gradually became coarse, the lotus leaves miraculously transformed into arms and legs, while the lotus body transformed to become the head.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus actually transformed completely to take human form!


    "Hahaha! Indeed didn''t disappoint this emperor. After this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus devoured Grayflame, it directly expedited giving birth to a primordial spirit, and transformed into human form!" Xie Lingzi burst into laughter as if that person who evolved was himself.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan''s aura was also rising rapidly!


    He and Fiery were linked telepathically. Absorbing so much fire origin power all of a sudden, there was even large quantities of essence energy mixed inside, but it was all absorbed by Ye Yuan.


    Under this surge, Ye Yuan''s cultivation could no longer be controlled and was going to break through!


    "Hahaha! This boy is pretty good!"


    Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan, revealing a very appreciative expression.


    That expression was like looking at the meat in his bowl, incomparably greedy.


    But Ye Yuan did not have time to go and bother about Xie Lingzi at all. He was assaulting the realm in full force!


    Fifth Level Divine Traversing!


    Sixth Level Divine Traversing!


    Ye Yuan directly broke through two minor boundaries under the impact of the surge of essence energy, arriving at the threshold of Seventh Level Divine Traversing, reaching peak Sixth Level Divine Traversing.


    "Not bad, really not bad! This boy''s concept comprehension is much higher than his true cultivation realm. Breaking through two minor boundaries in a row and there is actually not the slightest sign of his cultivation realm being unstable!"


    Xie Lingzi had been observing Ye Yuan''s breakthrough by the side the entire time and even made complimenting remarks about him from time to time.


    Finally, Ye Yuan successfully broke through, his entire person''s aura rising a great deal.


    While at this time, Fiery had also completed evolution already. The present Fiery was also not far away from Tier 7.


    A handsome youth appeared in front of Ye Yuan. He was precisely Fiery who achieved a primordial spirit!


    "Fiery pays respect to Master!" Fiery said with a childish face.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Haha, I didn''t expect that there is actually still an unexpected harvest coming to this ancient grotto this time! Fiery, don''t need to be so courteous with me. Just be like White Light and call me Big Brother will do!"


    Although Fiery just evolved and became a primordial spirit, the time he followed Ye Yuan was roughly the same as White Light.


    Along the way, Fiery had helped him out greatly.


    Regardless whether was it pill refinement or battle, Fiery was Ye Yuan''s indispensable partner.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan being able to leap realms to battle many times was relying all on the Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, this cultivation method. Fiery was even more essential.


    Therefore, even though the face of this handsome youth before his hands was very unfamiliar, Ye Yuan felt very close.


    "This �� Big Brother!"


    Fiery hesitated for a bit, but he still called out.


    Fiery was already in a state of extreme reluctance to part with towards Ye Yuan now. Furthermore, he knew that everything of his today was all bestowed by Ye Yuan.


    If without Ye Yuan, he might just be a Tier 4 essence fire forever.


    "Haha, good brother!" Seeing Fiery give birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan was very happy too.


    "Heh heh, truly affectionate brothers! Didn''t think that I, Xie Lingzi, slumbered for so long, there were actually people who delivered you brothers in front of me. Young man, tell me �� aren''t we very fated?" Xie Lingzi suddenly said with a sinister grin.


    The Grayflame Heretic Fire''s main body was devoured to the limit by Fiery. His primordial spirit right now was like being drained empty. Xu Yan''s entire person was withered on the ground, already on his last gasp.


    However, when he heard Xie Lingzi''s words, he suddenly shuddered.


    "M-Master, y-you don''t want Grayflame anymore? Y-You want to take over this boy?"


    Xie Lingzi smiled faintly when he heard that and said, "Huhu, Grayflame alone understands me! You take a look at them, one is full of vigor and vitality, one is a new-born primordial spirit. Aren''t they specially sent before me by heaven? Grayflame, once this Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus advances to Tier 9, its strength will be much stronger than yours! Therefore, using you to help him, is it not the best option?"


    Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan with a broad smile, as if he was already a dish in his bowl.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said, "Is Senior joking? Earlier, you were clearly still helping me. Why would you carry out possession on me?"


    Xie Lingzi laughed loudly and said, "Joking? This Emperor is not in the leisurely mood to make jokes with you! This Emperor commanded the Divine Realm back then with an awe-inspiring reputation extending in every direction! Being able to be possessed by this Emperor, that is your honor! Young man, you better open up your divine soul and submit obediently. Or else �� the taste of the divine soul being eradicated isn''t that enjoyable!"


    Ye Yuan said fearfully, "Ah! Don''t! Don''t! Junior''s body isn''t that good to use. There are so many physical bodies here. Senior just randomly pick one will do."


    Xie Lingzi said with a laugh, "Brat, don''t play any games with me! I know that your capabilities are not small, but your capabilities have nowhere to be displayed at all in front of this emperor! Also, your fleshy body contains extremely powerful true dragon might. Do you think that I can''t perceive it? This fleshy body of yours, apart from the cultivation realm being a little low, it''s simply rated as perfect! Other than you, this old man turns his nose up at everyone!"


    This Xie Lingzi''s knowledge was extraordinary and had long seen through the remarkable aspects of Ye Yuan''s physical body.


    Powerful physical body, consummate concepts, and even took in an essence fire which gave birth to a primordial spirit. This was seriously too perfect.


    Therefore, when Grayflame attempted to attack Ye Yuan earlier, not only did he block Grayflame, he even added fuel to the fire, letting Fiery devour the Grayflame Heretic Fire''s main body.


    The more powerful this fleshy body was, the more satisfied Xie Lingzi was.


    In his view, this physical body was simply custom-made for him.


    Originally, according to Xie Lingzi''s plan, this grotto should be able to absorb sufficient divine souls and nourish his own divine soul through the array formation and let him recover to his peak state. After that, he would awaken and hunt for a quality physical body to seize over.


    But plans could not catch up to changes. The Grayflame Heretic Fire actually broke through the seal and attempted to annihilate his divine soul.


    Who knew that Grayflame Heretic Fire actually even lured so many martial artists here, and in an accident arising from many causes, made him regain consciousness in advance.


    Although Xie Lingzi''s current condition was not very good either, pondering about taking possession of a puny little Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan, it was still more than adequate.


    Of course, if he knew what kind of a divine soul was housed inside this fleshy body, he definitely would not think this way!


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said to Fiery, "Fiery, run!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved and was going to escape from this rock cave!


    But Xie Lingzi chortled with laughter and said, "Run? Can something that this Emperor has taken fancy on escape? Come, this Emperor will bring this fleshy body and traverse the nine heavens and ten lands once more!"


    Xie Lingzi''s figure moved and instantly caught up to Ye Yuan.


    With a swoosh, Xie Lingzi directly tunneled into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness!

 760 Sealing off the Sea of Consciousness

    "Ouch! Punk, you schemed against me."


    Xie Lingzi had just entered Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness and had yet to figure out what was happening, and he was struck by a soul sword, giving off a tragic cry.


    "Heh, so what if I schemed against you? Eat another blow from me!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and released a soul sword once more.


    "Ouch!"


    Xie Lingzi cried out miserably once more. How could he have thought that Ye Yuan, a puny little Divine Traversing Realm, would actually have such fierce divine soul attack means?


    Taken by surprise, Xie Lingzi was actually successfully schemed against by Ye Yuan.


    Divine soul showdowns were incomparably dangerous. Xie Lingzi receiving two soul swords attack, his divine soul immediately withered considerably.


    Although Xie Lingzi was a peak Alchemy Emperor divine soul, having slumbered for such a long time, even with the sealing of an array formation, his soul force was also running on empty.


    Without the assistance of a physical body, for his soul force to want to recover, it was also basically impossible. Therefore, that was why he wanted to take possession of Ye Yuan''s physical body.


    "En? No, wait! Your �� Your divine soul!" Xie Lingzi suddenly discovered something and actually cried out weirdly.


    The current Xie Lingzi was like a bunny whose tail was stepped on, suffering a considerable shock.


    "Hehe, now you realised it?" Ye Yuan said with a ridiculing laugh.


    Xie Lingzi cried out weirdly again and said, "Impossible! If you seized possession and revived, how can you possibly be so compatible with the fleshy body? Could it be �� Could it be �� Impossible! Didn''t Grayflame say that there are already no Deity Realm old monsters anymore now? Could it be that he was lying to me?"


    Xie Lingzi''s cultivation realm and horizons were far from what ordinary martial artists could compare to. When he attempted to take possession and saw Ye Yuan''s divine soul, he immediately discovered something amiss.


    How was this some Divine Traversing Realm brat? This was simply a peak Alchemy Emperor old freak!


    It was just that Xie Lingzi could not figure out no matter what; Ye Yuan was clearly possessed, but why could he be so compatible with the fleshy body?


    Seizing possession and reviving, under normal circumstances, there was no way to be fully compatible with the new fleshy body.


    Xie Lingzi prepared a series of contingency plans for the sake of taking possession and reviving. But these contingency plans could only let him reduce this kind of incompatibility to the lowest too!


    The only ones able to reach this kind of degree were only Deity Realm powerhouses!


    But Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was actually just like his own. This was simply something unimaginably queer.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "He didn''t lie to you. Divine Dao has already vanished for over 100 thousand years. Now, under this stretch of sky, there are indeed no Deity Realm powerhouses."


    Xie Lingzi''s eyes became round-circles as he said with a disbelieving face, "This �� How is this possible? Then how did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan flashed a brilliant smile and said, "You really want to know?"


    Xie Lingzi nodded his head stiffly. Clearly, he was completely bewildered by this.


    Ye Yuan suddenly spread his two hands out and said, "Actually, I don''t know either ��"


    Xie Lingzi''s expression could not help choking up as he said furiously, "You''re playing games with me!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Just telling the truth. It''s you who don''t believe it!"


    "I believe! I believe your freaking head! Boy, even if you''re a peak Tier 9, you''re also just birds of a feather with me right now. Who lives and who dies is still unknown!" Xie Lingzi roared furiously.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Then you can very well come and give it a shot!"


    The two divine souls were both tigers who landed in the plains, lost their power and authority. Their strengths were less than one-ten-thousandth of their pinnacle period.


    But there was one point: Ye Yuan was at the rising phase, while Xie Lingzi was at the declining phase.


    Furthermore, in terms of divine soul methods, Ye Yuan judged himself that he would not lose to anyone!


    Even if this opponent in front of him was a powerhouse in the Divine Dao Era!


    "I''ll give it a try then! I don''t believe that you, a junior boy in an age of declining laws, can still overturn the skies! Divine Soul Storm!"


    Xie Lingzi was indeed well-deserving of being a powerhouse in the Divine Dao Era. His opening move was an extremely violent divine soul mystic art.


    As soon as this Divine Soul Storm was executed, Xie Lingzi''s divine soul immediately transformed into a tempest, and actually wanted to tear Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness into shreds!


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and cried out, "Divine soul mystic art, Wind Cleaving Blade!"


    A powerful soul force coalesced to form a gigantic blade, crushing over towards Xie Lingzi''s Divine Soul Storm, carrying an imposing momentum which pressed forth with an indomitable will.


    Rip ��


    The Divine Soul Storm was extremely powerful and actually directly cracked open a large gap on Ye Yuan''s blade.


    But Xie Lingzi was even more tragic. His Divine Soul Storm was cleaved into two halves by Ye Yuan immediately.


    When Xie Lingzi revealed his figure, his divine soul weakened considerably once more.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul likewise suffered considerable injuries, resulting in his divine soul to become a fair bit dimmer.


    It was just that in comparison, it was still Ye Yuan who won slightly.


    Divine soul battles and martial artists'' competition in strength were completely different. No matter how powerful your divine soul was, under such battles, it would definitely cause damage to the divine soul.


    Except, if one person''s boundary was much higher compared to the other, this kind of damage could be overlooked.


    But this Xie Lingzi was not an ordinary divine soul, but a Divine Dao Era''s Tier 9 powerhouse!


    If the two people were both at their pinnacle period, the might of their divine souls should be more or less the same.


    Therefore, even though Ye Yuan won, it was also hard for him to avoid having some damage.


    But this bit of injury, Ye Yuan did not care at all!


    He had a physical body as a carrier. Later, he just had to consume some medicinal pills, and he would naturally be able to recover his strength. But Xie Lingzi could not. He was just a divine soul now. He could not endure this kind of losses at all.


    Let alone that Ye Yuan''s divine soul mystic art even completely trounced him.


    "I didn''t expect that a junior boy in an age of declining laws actually had such strength! Truly remarkable!" Xie Lingzi said with an ugly look.


    "Huhu, a Divine Dao Era''s Tier 9 powerhouse is also merely just so!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    "Boy, don''t be so rampant by relying on that you have a physical body!" Xie Lingzi said furiously.


    "I''m just bullying you by relying on that I have a physical body! So what? Come and bite me! Bite me!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Xie Lingzi was angered by Ye Yuan until he was huffing and puffing, but he could do nothing about it!


    Although this move earlier was just a probe, Xie Lingzi discovered to his dismay that he was not Ye Yuan''s match at all.


    When Xie Lingzi heard that there were no Deity Realm powerhouses now, he could not help harboring a sense of looking down on the present martial artists.


    But through the exchange with Ye Yuan. He discovered that even if this sort of strength was placed in the Divine Dao Era, it was extremely daunting too.


    If Ye Yuan was born in the Divine Dao era, he was bound to be able to achieve Deity Realm!


    "Brat, this fleshy body, I don''t want it anymore! Humph, we''ll meet again another day!" Xie Lingzi missed this hit and actually backed out.


    It was only to see his figure moved and actually wanted to back out from Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh, "Want to leave? How can it be that easy!"


    All of a sudden, the surroundings became pitch-black, unable to see one''s hand in front of them.


    Xie Lingzi was just about to escape but discovered to his surprise that there was no path to take. His expression could not help changing drastically as he said, "Boy, you actually sealed off your sea of consciousness! You don''t want to live anymore?"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "I let you into the sea of consciousness in order to exterminate you in one stroke! Now that you want to escape from here, don''t even think about it!"

 761 Myriad Soul Extinction

    Xie Lingzi''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He did not think that Ye Yuan deliberately lured him in.


    Now, Ye Yuan sealed off the sea of consciousness to fight with him to the death!


    This kind of outcome was what Xie Lingzi could not have anticipated at all prior to this.


    "Boy, you doing this, do you really take me to be a soft persimmon? If I explode with full power, the two of us, both will die!"


    Looking at Xie Lingzi''s appearance, he was actually turning to desperate measures when driven into a corner.


    Sealing off the sea of consciousness, even Ye Yuan himself could not sense the existence of his physical body too.


    Now, Ye Yuan''s physical body was simply a walking corpse and would not have the least bit of sensation.


    But with the Fiery who had just advanced ranks protecting, Ye Yuan was not worried about Grayflame.


    Right now, Grayflame was already not much different from a dead dog. Fiery dealing with him was more than plenty.


    "Heh, you got to have the capability to do that too! Speaking of which, I very much want to experience the divine soul mystic arts of an ancient powerhouse! How about �� we compare notes a little?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not wait for Xie Lingzi to answer either, and actually attacked straightaway!


    "Ice Soul Curse!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry and actually condensed out a large bunch of ice shards with soul force in an instant, stabbing towards Xie Lingzi.


    His approach was pestering non-stop. Even if Xie Lingzi did not want to fight, it was out of the question too!


    But Ye Yuan''s divine soul mystic art was very powerful. Even if Xie Lingzi had exceedingly high attainments concerning divine souls, he was still somewhat struggling with cope with things in front of Ye Yuan.


    This Ice Soul Curse looked to be an extremely powerful offensive-style divine soul mystic art at one glance. Xie Lingzi''s expression darkened, and he howled, "Nether Soul Shield!"


    All of a sudden, Xie Lingzi condensed a gigantic shield with soul force, blocking it in front of him.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ice shards bombarded toward the shield one by one. Tremendous impact force beat the shield back repeatedly!


    But this move was not Ye Yuan''s ace in the hole. After he displayed this move, he had been observing Xie Lingzi''s divine soul mystic art constantly, his gaze revealing a pondering look.


    The ancient era''s divine soul mystic arts seemed to be somewhat different from the present.


    But where it was different, Ye Yuan could not pinpoint it either.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul mystic arts were numerous. Succeeding in one move, he changed styles unceasingly and carried out an indiscriminate bombing against Xie Lingzi, pressuring Xie Lingzi until he could not catch his breath at all, being exhausted from dealing with it continuously.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the divine soul mystic arts he executed seemed to have slightly greater consumption compared to Xie Lingzi.


    Although he took the absolute upper-hand, that was the absolute overpowering of strength. The divine soul mystic arts that Xie Lingzi displayed seemed to be more accomplished with high proficiency compared to himself.


    This discovery made Ye Yuan very depressed.


    Could it be that after the Divine Dao withered, martial artists'' divine soul also had some unknown transformation occurring?


    Or was it because present martial artists lacked a little something, so they were unable to advance to the Deity Realm?


    In contrast, the more Xie Lingzi fought, the more startled he got!


    Ye Yuan was seriously too powerful. All kinds of divine soul mystic arts emerged in endless streams, seemingly inexhaustible!


    If it continued like this, he would be exhausted to death by Ye Yuan!


    Boom!


    Xie Lingzi''s soul force abruptly erupted, slamming away Ye Yuan''s attack directly.


    He looked at Ye Yuan like he went mad and roared, "Brat, you forced me! I''ll let you take a look at an ancient powerhouse''s true prowess!"


    Xie Lingzi''s arms opened up slightly. A majestic soul force spewed forth from his divine soul akin to an erupting volcano.


    While Ye Yuan actually felt a kind of very familiar feeling in this surge of soul force.


    "His soul force �� it seems to encompass some sort of elusive profundity! Just what is it?" Ye Yuan muttered under his breath, seemingly not paying any attention to this powerful attack at all.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart as he said, "Oh right, that''s it! This mysterious aura is precisely the mysterious power contained within the golden characters! It''s just that �� Xie Lingzi''s mysterious aura is too weak. If not for him erupting his soul force entirely, I wouldn''t sense it at all! Looks like he''s still a very long way away from Deity Realm!"


    "Boy, facing imminent death and you''re actually still in a trance here!"


    Xie Lingzi was currently releasing a big move but suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was currently in a daze. This made him feel unbelievable fury.


    He was an exalted Divine Dao Era''s big shot and was actually being looked down upon by a junior brat like so. How to make him accept this?


    It was only then did Ye Yuan come back to his senses. He had an apologetic smile on his face as he said, "Ah, sorry about that. Thinking about some things earlier and became absentminded. Uh �� Fortunately, I can still make it in time right now. This is your strongest divine soul mystic art? Doesn''t seem like much either. You disappoint me greatly."


    Fortunately, Xie Lingzi was a divine soul body right now. If he still had a physical body now, he would definitely be infuriated until he was heavily injured and vomit blood.


    Ye Yuan''s words were seriously too infuriating. He was, at any rate, a former peak Dao Profound powerhouse too. He was actually being despised by a junior!


    Except, he had yet to refute in time, and his face revealed a look of astonishment.


    "Heh heh, I already have not used this move for a long time. My present soul force is barely able to support this move. Divine Dao Era''s Senior, sample the taste of this move of mine well. Because �� you only have one chance to experience it!"


    Ye Yuan played it down as he said it, but his soul force quietly dispersed throughout the entire sea of consciousness!


    "This �� How is this possible? My �� My divine soul mystic arts �� are actually unable to be used! You �� what the hell kind of skill is this?!"


    Xie Lingzi had an expression like he saw a ghost. He urged his soul force with all his might. However, his soul force was like withered, unable to be deployed at all.


    Xie Lingzi had lived for ten thousand years. The cultivation skills and martial technique he had experienced before were too many to enumerate, but he had yet to see before any kind of divine soul mystic art that could make the opponent unable to even retaliate!


    This kind of skill was also too horrifying.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "It''s true that right now is an age of declining laws. But it''s precisely because they are unable to break through to the Deity Realm that martial artists pushed all kinds of methods to the limit, wanting to break through the fetters. Therefore, current martial artists'' strength is not as weak as you imagine! In comparison, same rank martial artists are even more powerful compared to that era of yours! Therefore �� don''t look down on martial artists in a waning age!"


    Xie Lingzi looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished face, as if he was a god.


    "No! Don''t! I, Xie Lingzi, am someone who''s going to step into Deity Realm! How can I possibly die here?!"


    Xie Lingzi yelled out crazily. Yet, no matter how he shouted, he was unable to muster up soul force.


    "Myriad �� Soul �� Extinction!"


    Out of Ye Yuan''s mouth, these three words were akin to the sound of a celestial deity.


    The moment the words came out, the entire sea of consciousness quietened down.


    Xie Lingzi''s mouth was still opening and closing frenziedly, but he could not emit any bit of noise anymore.


    His soul force was constantly being extinguished by some inexplicable power.


    While Xie Lingzi''s divine soul was like being hit, it was as if he was turning into mosaic tiles, his entire person breaking down into countless fragments!


    At the start, these shards could still form a complete divine soul.


    But now, those fragments fragmented once more, then they were utterly obliterated!

 762 Mystic Qi

    With a thud, Ye Yuan plopped onto the ground, panting for air heavily.


    "M-Master, is that you?"


    Xu Yan had been observing Ye Yuan''s activities by the side all along. But the battle which took place inside the sea of consciousness, he was unable to pry into it.


    But in accordance to his judgment, with Xie Lingzi''s strength, it was impossible to lose to such a Divine Traversing Realm brat.


    Except, Xu Yan could not quite figure out why Xie Lingzi actually spent such a long time to deal with a brat like this.


    Moreover, looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, it seemed like the cost was huge.


    "Huff . . . Huff . . . That damn master of yours is already thoroughly dead now! Using this move right now is indeed somewhat more than I can bear. This time, even if there are medicinal pills assisting, without half a month, I''ll probably be unable to recover," Ye Yuan panted for air as he said powerlessly.


    When Grayflame who was by the side heard Ye Yuan''s words, it was as if he was struck by a thunderbolt in clear weather!


    What did he say just now?


    Master . . . Master was finished off!


    This . . . How was this possible?


    Even if Xie Lingzi''s current condition was much worse compared to his pinnacle period, to deal with a Divine Traversing Realm brat like this, it shouldn''t need the slightest effort, right?


    Xie Lingzi''s might, the Grayflame who had always been by his side was all too clear. He was actually unable to seize possession of a Divine Traversing Realm boy?


    Grayflame was limp and feeble on the ground like mud at this time. But he could not resist lifting his head to take a look at Ye Yuan, as if he had seen a ghost.


    This young man before his eyes who was young until it could make people disregard was really a monster-like existence!


    He took possession of Xu Yan, then lured Ying Tianya over through Xu Yan''s secret arts. It was originally something that was already in the bag.


    Grayflame knew that the ones here this time were all Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. They were simply nothing to be feared to him.


    But he took everything into calculations and also did not calculate that such a monster actually came this time!


    Ye Yuan consumed a soul force recovering medicinal pill and rested for a while, and finally recovered.


    When his gaze landed on Grayflame, Grayflame could not refrain from shuddering.


    Ye Yuan flashed a bright smile and said, "You don''t have to be scared. Actually, I just want to ask you a few questions. If you answer honestly, it''s not impossible to let you live."


    Grayflame was startled and hurriedly said, "Mi-Milord, go ahead and ask. This lowly one will answer everything!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, "You experienced the Divine Dao Era. Do you know how to achieve the Deity Realm or not?!"


    Ye Yuan''s question made Grayflame''s expression became very ugly too.


    "Milord, even in the Divine Dao Era, Deity Realm was also an inscrutable realm. Forget about me, even Xie Lingzi lingered in front of this great gate for a long time too, unable to find the correct approach!" Grayflame said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan looked at Grayflame with a smile that wasn''t a smile and said, "That''s to say that you don''t have any use at all? Fiery, eradicate his primordial spirit!"


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t! I . . . Although I don''t know how to achieve the Deity Realm, I know that there is one thing of utmost importance to achieve Deity Realm!" Grayflame hastily said.


    Hearing Grayflame''s words, Ye Yuan was slightly stirred in his heart; he was rather surprised.


    Actually, Grayflame saying that he did not know the mystery of becoming a deity was within Ye Yuan''s expectation. Except, it didn''t expect that under Ye Yuan''s bluff, he actually really swindled out some things.


    "What thing?" Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart and asked.


    Ye Yuan''s life-long goal in his previous life was to achieve the Alchemy God Realm. But he sought after bitterly and did not attain it.


    Now that he had a chance to hear the mystery of becoming a deity, how could Ye Yuan not be agitated in his heart?


    Grayflame said, "Deity Realm powerhouses and ordinary martial artists are simply people of two different worlds. Even though Xie Lingzi was considered very powerful in the Dao Profound Realm, in front of Deity Realm powerhouses, he didn''t even dare to lift his head. As for how to affirm one''s Dao and become a deity, Deity Realm powerhouses all guarded the secret closely as well. But with Xie Lingzi''s status, he knew some secrets of becoming a deity. Allegedly, achieving Deity Realm is very closely related to something called mystic qi! All martial artists must go through the baptism of mystic qi before they can transform and become a deity!"


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan''s brows creased together tightly. "Mystic qi? What is that?"


    Mystic qi, this name, it was Ye Yuan''s first time hearing.


    Ji Qingyun was a member of the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most group in his previous life. With regards to many secrets about Deity Realm, he was aware.


    These hundred over thousand years, martial artists had never given up on the research on Deity Realm.


    Each major force had its own core-most layer of secrets. Of course, there were also many things regarding Deity Realm that everyone all knew.


    But Ye Yuan had never heard before that Deity Realm had something to do with a thing called mystic qi.


    Grayflame shook his head when he heard that and said, "I don''t know. Deity Realm powerhouses all did not breathe a word about this to a soul. Even if there was some kind of exchange, that was also something between Deity Realm powerhouses. Martial artists beneath the Deity Realm, they did not place in their sights at all."


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan did not doubt it.


    The might of Deity Realm powerhouses, ordinary martial artists had no way of imagining at all.


    The gap between the Deity Realm and the Dao Profound Realm had no way of compensating using numbers at all.


    No number of Dao Profound Realm powerhouses was a Deity Realm powerhouse''s match!


    One could say that Deity Realm powerhouses were completely another level of life-form!


    If not for so, they would not be called Deity Realm powerhouses!


    Therefore, in the eyes of a Deity Realm powerhouse, ordinary martial artists did not have the qualifications of communicating with them at all.


    Ye Yuan could not help revealing a pondering look.


    Looks like Deity Realm powerhouses all disappearing overnight brought away too many secrets, resulting in a rupture appearing between the two eras'' martial artists.


    As for this mystic qi, it sounds rather like an existence similar to essence energy. It was just that this mystic qi was probably a level higher than essence energy.


    But according to what Grayflame said, he did not know what mystic qi was at all. That indicated that this sort of thing was probably not that easy to perceive.


    Either it was extremely rare, or it required reaching some sort of profound boundary before one could perceive it. Or perhaps, both at the same time.


    All in all, becoming a deity . . . was as hard as reaching the sky!


    In the Divine Dao Era, it was already extremely difficult. In this present age of declining laws, becoming a deity was even more a kind of extravagant hope.


    Perhaps . . . in the Godsfall Mountain Range, some secrets of becoming deity are hidden. When the time is right, I can go there and investigate properly, Ye Yuan thought to himself secretly in his heart.


    Right now, in the Divine Realm, the vast majority of things related to Deity Realm were all obtained in the Godsfall Mountain Range, including the golden characters inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness!


    If talking about which place in the Divine Realm was the closest to Divine Realm, there was only the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    But with this mystic qi, Ye Yuan going to explore the Godsfall Mountain Range had even more focus and direction.


    "Mi-Milord, this lowly one has already said all that I know. I beg you, stay your hand in mercy and let me off!" Grayflame said with a mournful face.


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said with a smile, "I promised to let you live. I naturally won''t go back on my words. But a primordial spirit like you, I don''t dare to let you follow your inclinations. So . . ."


    Ye Yuan suddenly smacked a palm out over towards the top of Xu Yan''s head.

 763 Favor

    Ye Yuan opened up his five fingers and directly grabbed the top of Xu Yan''s head.


    A powerful suction tapped into Xu Yan''s sea of consciousness and actually dragged Grayflame''s primordial spirit out straight away.


    If Grayflame was at his prime, Ye Yuan naturally could not accomplish this. But his main body was completely gobbled up by Fiery. Grayflame''s primordial spirit was extremely weak and could only be at Ye Yuan''s mercy too.


    Ye Yuan retrieved a small bottle and sealed Grayflame inside immediately.


    Inside the small bottle had no essence energy to replenish. Grayflame would also forever not be able to recover his main body''s strength.


    To an essence fire which gave birth to a primordial spirit, the primordial spirit was the most crucial.


    As long as the primordial spirit was not annihilated, they could draw on the fire origin power in heaven and earth ceaselessly and could recover to their peak state.


    "Fiery, you enter Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate first. Your existence is too conspicuous. It''s easy to attract the covetous eyes of an observant and conscientious person. Later, I''ll impart you a few cultivation methods. When you master them, it can let your combat power rise substantially," Ye Yuan said to Fiery.


    Fiery was overjoyed as he nodded his head and said, "Many thanks, Big Brother! Then I''ll dispatch a clone to follow you. If there''s any need, Big Brother you just call me out straight away will do."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred and put Fiery away inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Giving birth to a primordial spirit, Fiery was an independent individual already; he was not much different from ordinary martial artists.


    It was just that giving birth to a primordial spirit at this cultivation realm, Fiery was indeed rather heaven-defying and not too suitable to appear in front of people.


    But even so, Fiery would also be a major trump card of Ye Yuan''s in the future.


    Even if Fiery did not do anything, just using the might of essence fire was plenty more than ordinary Boundless Realm martial artists could bear. Let alone that Ye Yuan still had many fire controlling arts on hand. After imparting some methods to Fiery, it could let his strength have a very large increase within a short period.


    Finished doing these, Ye Yuan fed the Pinnate Star Grass juice refined previously one by one for everyone to consume, then started meditating to recover his strength inside this rock cave.


    Executing the Myriad Soul Extinction previously had a tremendous burden on his divine soul.


    This Myriad Soul Extinction skill was created several tens of thousands of years ago by a powerful Alchemy Emperor. Its might was exceedingly terrifying.


    Divine soul mystic arts were alchemists'' primary attack methods. Powerful alchemists were able to forcefully withstand Divine King Realm powerhouses'' martial technique with divine soul mystic art, even kill Divine Kings!


    In reality, Ji Zhengyang father and son had this level of strength back then too. If not for being plotted against by Ji Zhengyang, their father and son pair also would not have ended up perishing.


    Ye Yuan''s current soul force, just displaying this move face-front, he could not even unleash one-thousandth of this move''s might.


    But even so, Myriad Soul Extinction was also not what Xie Lingzi, this remnant soul, could withstand.


    Actually, Ye Yuan thought of asking some things from Xie Lingzi. But later, he gave up on this idea.


    This Xie Lingzi was too dangerous. Better annihilate straight away was safer.


    Before long, Jun Tianyu was the first one to gradually wake up.


    Jun Tianyu''s alertness was very high. The first thing he did when he woke up was to circulate his essence energy to guard against any accidents.


    But very soon, he saw Ye Yuan currently smiling at him. Only then did he set his mind at ease.


    "Brother Jun is indeed formidable! Your cultivation realm is inferior to Ying Tianya and Pei Wenqiang, but you woke up first before them," Ye Yuan praised.


    Jun Tianyu was indeed an exceptional talent. In terms of potential, he flung these two City Lords several streets behind.


    Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists that came out to be the lord of a city all basically did not have much hope in the Martial Path, that was why they would seek for another way out.


    As long as they still had hope in Martial Arts, most would remain in the holy land to continue cultivating bitterly.


    But Jun Tianyu was an outlier in Ancient Opulence City.


    Jun Tianyu blushed with shame, but then he pointed at the Xu Yan who was already dead and said in surprise, "This person ��"


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and briefly recounted the entire process of the incident, but he concealed being seized possession of by Xie Lingzi this part.


    Based on Ye Yuan''s story, Xie Lingzi and his primordial spirit fell out and became enemies. Only then did he have an opportunity to exploit, rounding them up in one fell swoop.


    Except, even so, Jun Tianyu was incomparably astonished too.


    Ye Yuan said it simply, but to find the lease of life in this, it really could not be done by the average person.


    Not long after, Ying Tianya and Pei Wenqiang pretty much woke up at the same time. The others also gradually woke up one after another.


    Of course, they who had just regained consciousness also had a look of being struck senseless regarding the present situation. Jun Tianyu briefly recounted the situation. Only then did they know that they squeaked by with their lives again.


    Not only did Ye Yuan eradicate Xie Lingzi and Grayflame Heretic Fire, he even resolved the Strange Nether Flower poison in their bodies.


    No matter whether they were willing or not, each one of these people owed Ye Yuan a tremendous favor.


    Especially Pei Wenqiang and He Shuming. These two people incredibly embarrassed by the side.


    But Ying Tianya had a bitter look. His relationship with Xu Yan was excellent. Hence, he put his life on the line and also had to come to this ancient grotto to save Xu Yan.


    It was just that he never would have thought that turns out before he entered this grotto, Xu Yan was already possessed by Grayflame Heretic Fire!


    Ying Tianya hugged Xu Yan''s corpse and wept his eyes out, making everyone by the side unable to refrain from feeling sorrowful in their hearts too.


    This trip, if not for Ye Yuan, their outcome would probably all be incomparably tragic.


    Before this, they would already be completely wiped out.


    Even though they all woke up, each and every one had the greater half of their essence energy extracted. Even if they returned to form, their cultivation realms likely faced the risk of falling too.


    Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists were still fine, but Boundless Realm martial artists'' losses this time were a little too much. According to Ye Yuan''s estimation, it should be very hard to recover to peak strength.


    Of course, Ye Yuan had the ability to help them eliminate the hidden dangers. But he was not a goody-two-shoes to this sort of extent.


    Except, at this sort of time, there was already no one who paid attention to this. Being able to survive by a fluke was already very not easy.


    After a long while, Ying Tianya finally pulled it together. He put away Xu Yan''s corpse, planning to send it back to the holy land to bury.


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that right at this time, Pei Wenqiang actually came in front of him and said with clasped hands, "Boy, this trip �� many thanks!"


    This Pei Wenqiang relied on that his elder brother was one of the Seven Holy Sons and had never shown anyone respect.


    But this time, Ye Yuan took action to save him over and over again. This also finally made him feel rather embarrassed.


    Ye Yuan knew that with Pei Wenqiang''s personality, being able to say out these two words were already very not easy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need to be courteous. You also said it, it was in order for myself to be able to exit. Therefore, we''re square!"


    Pei Wenqiang was a person who valued face tremendously. If Ye Yuan climbed up along the pole, he would feel a little better instead.


    But Ye Yuan saying that they were square very magnanimously made him feel very disgraced instead.


    It was only to see him said with a livid face, "Boy, don''t give me that! This Pei never owes other people! This favor, this Pei has noted it down! If you need any help in the future, as long as it''s within the holy land, this Pei has the ability to help you achieve it!"


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said with a faint smile, "Fine. When the time comes, I''ll go and look for you."

 764 Reminisce

    "Ye Yuan, how do we exit now?"


    Jun Tianyu asked what everyone was wondering. Everyone perked their ears up. This damn place, they did not wish to stay for a moment longer!


    Even Ying Tianya and Pei Wenqiang also involuntarily perked their ears up.


    From the moment they woke up, Ye Yuan already became the absolute backbone of their group of people.


    Forget about He Shuming, even the Pei Wenqiang who always liked to jump around bowed his head in submission already. Who else dared to jump out?


    Ye Yuan said, "The exit is right at the sacrificial altar there. Let''s go!"


    During the period that everyone was unconscious, Ye Yuan did not stay idle. He used secret arts to torture the Grayflame primordial spirit for a bout, forcing him to say out many of this grotto''s secrets.


    Xie Lingzi prepared many contingency plans for the sake of reviving anew.


    These back-up plans, he did not get to use them all. All of these benefited Ye Yuan.


    And that sacrificial altar was not just the core of the Luo Tian Soul Sealing Grand Array, it was also the grotto''s passageway leading to the outside world.


    One had to admit that this Xie Lingzi''s attainments in formations were still praiseworthy. The ingenuity of his ideas, Ye Yuan rather admired it too.


    On the sacrificial altar, Ye Yuan opened up the transmission array according to the method Grayflame had told him. Everyone pushed open the coffin, but the things inside were already moved out by Ye Yuan long ago, completely empty.


    Inside this coffin was the transmission array''s passageway.


    Everyone entered the coffin. A radiant light flashed, and they finally vanished from inside this ancient grotto.


    ...


    At this very moment, in the far-away Rang Shi Region, Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s headquarters, an Alchemy Emperor was currently researching medicinal pills.


    An old man whose hair and beard were all white was sitting not far away from him, currently enjoying tea.


    Alchemy Emperors researching medicinal pills were something that was most common.


    It was just that what was placed on his table were actually all Tier 5 medicinal pills!


    An Alchemy Emperor powerhouse researching Tier 5 medicinal pills, now this, was not a usual thing.


    Many jade containers were placed on the table. Inside the containers had all sorts of liquid.


    As he researched, his brows were tightly knitted.


    In the end, he drew a breath and sighed deeply, putting down the work in his hands.


    When that old man whose hair and beard were all white saw the situation, he put down the teacup in his hand, came to the alchemy emperor''s side, and said rather surprisedly, "Younger Brother Xun Ze, even you can''t deconstruct these measly little Tier 5 medicinal pills too?"


    "First Elder, it''s not that I, Xun Ze, am boosting other people''s morale while diminishing our prestige. Even if these medicinal pills are brought to the Alchemist Association, those few old monsters might not be able to deconstruct them either!" Xun Ze said with an emotional sigh.


    First Elder''s eyebrows raised up as he said in amazement, "Really that freaky?"


    Xun Ze nodded and said, "These Tier 5 medicinal pills look simple, but they were refined and formed with unique methods. And the compositions we deconstructed, logically speaking, are not able to be refined into pills at all when put together. This alchemist is simply a genius. I truly have no idea what kind of method he used to combine these medicinal herbs together, and even let the medicinal pills'' medicinal effects increase so much. In my view, this is simply inconceivable!"


    This Xun Ze was the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s head alchemist, and also the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s one and only high-rank Alchemy Emperor!


    And the medicinal pills he was researching were precisely the medicinal pills sent over from the far-away White Valiant Region, Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s branch, and also the few types of medicinal pills Ye Yuan newly rolled out.


    Actually, after these medicinal pills were sent to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s headquarters, there was already a batch of Alchemy Emperor powerhouses who attempted to deconstruct them before. It was just that the final outcome was apparent.


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company saw a business opportunity from these medicinal pills and were naturally unresigned to fail just like this. Hence, they let the White Valiant Region sent some medicinal pills over again and let the head alchemist, Master Xun Ze, attempt decomposition.


    Except, the final result was still a failure!


    These medicinal pills were actually all improved by Ye Yuan in his early days in order to research medicinal theory. It was just that Ye Yuan did not let them surface in the world.


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun was incredibly haughty and held these sort of improved-versions of Tier 5 medicinal pills in contempt.


    What could truly move Ji Qingyun was probably also just some seldom-seen Tier 9 medicinal pills.


    It was also fortunate that Ye Yuan did not make these medicinal pills known to the public in his previous life. Or else, he would really not dare to anyhow take them out to sell.


    He, First Elder, clearly knew the business too. Hearing this, he said rather surprisedly, "The medicinal theory �� actually doesn''t make sense?"


    Xun Ze nodded and said, "Not just doesn''t make sense, it''s simply full of shit! These few kinds of medicinal herbs grouped together, logically speaking, even if given to an Alchemy God to refine, it should also be invalid pills! Really don''t know what this alchemist did, to actually be able to turn the rotten into something magical! First Elder, these medicinal pills �� just who refined them?"


    "Ssss �� Then that''s really freaky! I''ve already asked the White Valiant Region branch before. These medicinal pills were only refined by a Divine Traversing Realm boy who just ascended!" When First Elder said this, even he himself did not quite dare to believe it.


    Xun Ze grabbed hold of First Elder''s clothes when he heard that and cried out in shock, "What did you say? Divine Traversing Realm? Alchemy Sovereign? This �� You aren''t joking with me, right?"


    Xun Ze''s startled cry, even his voice changed pitch. The shock in his heart could be imagined.


    A peak alchemist like Xun Ze would never concern himself with the affairs of the world.


    When First Elder brought the medicinal pills for him to deconstruct, even though he was rather disapproving in his heart, he still did it.


    Let alone that there were already many Alchemy Emperors who could not deconstruct them before this. Therefore, he did not ask about these medicinal pills'' origins at all.


    Now, when he heard that it was refined by an Alchemy Sovereign, his first reaction was that �� it was impossible!


    First Elder smiled bitterly and said, "Younger Brother Xun Ze, do you feel that I have much spare time to crack this kind of joke with you? Actually, the first time I heard this news, I totally did not believe it too. But only after inquiring repeatedly did I confirm that this was indeed true! But I heard that there is still a master behind this boy. It''s just that this expert has never shown face before. That side is guessing whether or not this so-called expert doesn''t exist at all!"


    Xun Ze sucked in a cold breath, his gaze becoming astonished. "First Elder, actually, after I failed earlier, I associated it with someone! If there is really anyone who''s able to reach this level in this world �� then there can only be him! But the problem is, that person is long dead already! Could it be that �� this junior obtained the legacy of an Alchemy God in the Lower Realms?"


    The moment the words came out, even Xun Ze himself shook his head and denied it, saying, "How is that possible? It''s too preposterous!"


    First Elder''s heart was stirred, and he asked, "Could whom you''re talking about earlier be ��"


    Xun Ze nodded his head, with a close to idolizing expression, as he said one by one, "That''s right, it''s Ji Qingyun!"


    Pausing for a moment, Xun Ze added on, "Ji Qingyun is absolutely the number one alchemy genius in these tens of thousands of years! His understanding towards alchemy is poles apart from us, these so-called Alchemy Emperors! It''s precisely because so that he would frequently refine out some unimaginably queer medicinal pills! If not for this shackle being unbreakable, him becoming an Alchemy God was something sooner or later! Sigh �� alas, a genius of his generation actually perished just like this."

 765 Long Time No See, Have You Been Well?

    First Elder and Xun Ze discussed about Ji Qingyun, both lamenting greatly, especially Xun Ze.


    Xun Ze, as a high-rank Alchemy Emperor, was already standing at the apex of the alchemist food chain.


    But even he actually had exceedingly idolizing mentality toward Ji Qingyun.


    "Speaking of which, ever since after the Ji Family father and son perished, not only did this Medicine King Hall not decline, it became even more powerful instead! It''s just that this Medicine King Hall is becoming increasingly mysterious. Originally, our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company still had some collaborations with them. But now, it''s all suspended," First Elder said.


    When the Medicine King Hall was at its pinnacle period, it was the target various Divine Realm peak trading companies fell over each other to cooperate with. At one point, it even overshadowed the Alchemist Association.


    Except, the past was already gone with the wind.


    The present Medicine King Hall was also no longer that Medicine King Hall in the past.


    Xun Ze heaved a sigh and said, "Ji Qingyun''s death was a sort of retrogression to the alchemy path! If he didn''t die, the entire alchemy world would have had a revolutionary transformation take place before long! If it was like that, it might also be another beginning for the Divine Realm! A shame, such a shame!"


    "But to say that the boy who refined these few kinds of medicinal pills have any relation with Ji Qingyun, that''s also too far-fetched. The way I see it, he should have gotten some ancient alchemist''s inheritance, that''s how he knew how to refine these few medicinal pills," First Elder said.


    Xun Ze nodded and said, "Should be this case! But I suggest for the trading firm to pay more attention to this boy. If there''s a possibility, letting him join the trading company is for the best. His future accomplishments will surely be above mine!"


    First Elder said, "I naturally know that! These medicinal pills ��"


    "Leave them. Later, I''ll invite some fellow alchemists to research these medicinal pills together." Xun Ze said.


    ...


    In the Great Xiang Region, there were two Rank One Holy Lands: Bright Moon City and Vastsun City.


    Bright Moon City was renowned throughout the Divine Realm because of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, while Vastsun City became a household name with the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil.


    Two mighty Rank One Holy Lands were respectively controlled by the two great Yue and Zhou families. No one was able to shake them.


    But at this time, Bright Moon City''s Yue Family welcomed an esteemed guest. This person was the Alchemist Association''s vice-chairman, Lord Quan Xingzi!


    Even Yue Mengli did not expect it either, that the Zhou Family actually able to invite Quan Xingzi over.


    Except, after giving Yue Mengli a round of diagnosis, Quan Xingzi''s brows knitted together and repeatedly lamented, "How strange! How strange!"


    Zhou Yan carefully asked at the side, "Lord Chairman, what strange aspects �� does Li-er''s illness have?"


    Quan Xingzi was invited by the Zhou Family. Hence, Zhou Yan naturally had to accompany her by the side. Curing Yue Mengli would be his, Zhou Yan''s, meritorious deed. Yue Mengli would not be able to find any more reason to object to this marriage.


    Quan Xingzi said, "I did a round of examination just now and discovered that apart from possessing the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, Li-er actually still has another extremely rare spirit physique!"


    The moment these words came out, Zhou Yan''s expression became stiff, and his heart palpitated.


    "Lord Chairman, logically speaking, having two kinds of spirit physiques should be a good thing, why ��"


    Zhou Yan cried out in his heart: must not be that whatever Innate Battle Soul Physique!


    Yet, reality was this cruel. Quan Xingzi said, "If it were an ordinary spirit physique, it would naturally be a good thing. But this Innate Battle Soul Physique is different! In the Divine Realm''s records, the Innate Battle Soul Physique merely appeared a few scanty times. This kind of spirit physique requires the spirit and flesh to merge into one but clashes with the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique. Two kinds of spirit physiques preying on the divine soul, resulting in Li-er''s present ailment."


    With every word Quan Xingzi said, Zhou Yan''s face became a shade darker.


    His diagnosis was actually exactly the same as that punk''s! Really seeing ghosts!


    When Li-er heard these words, she could not resist smiling at Ye Qing.


    Ye Yuan was indeed formidable. In terms of alchemy standards, he was absolutely not beneath this Lord Quan Xingzi!


    However, Ye Yuan said that he was able to treat the conflicting agony of her spirit physiques. This Quan Xingzi �� probably could not do it, right?


    "Lord Chairman, then Li-er''s illness ��" Zhou Yan''s eyes carried some hope. He prayed inwardly for Quan Xingzi to be able to cure it.


    That way, he could kill that brat without any qualms!


    These few days, Zhou Yan had been pestering Yue Mengli every day. But how could he not feel that Yue Mengli''s heart was all tied up in that detestable brat''s hands!


    With the passing of time, the jealousy in his heart grew increasingly thicker.


    Quan Xingzi heaved a sigh and said, "Divine soul ailments are the most dangerous. Furthermore, spirit physiques are born from heaven and earth, and there''s completely no way of using medicinal strength to change it. Unless the heaven can take back one of her spirit physiques, otherwise, it''s incurable!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression changed, and he said unresignedly, "Lord Chairman''s alchemy cultivation is exceedingly high. Could it be that even you are helpless too?"


    Quan Xingzi said helplessly, "No matter how strong one''s Alchemy Path cultivation is, it''s also not omnipotent. There are always terminal illnesses that can''t be treated. Sigh, these two types of spirit physiques, any one of them would be exceptionally formidable. But gathering onto one body, it''s true fate making a mockery out of people! Li-er must not utilize soul force in the future. Or else, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine."


    As he said, he looked at the Ye Qing by the side, his expression easing up slightly as he said, "Azure Spirit Trees are exceedingly rare. I believe that your father expended a considerable price in order to obtain him, right? It''s just that even with the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid, it can only treat the symptoms and not the root."


    Zhou Yan''s expression suddenly changed, and he asked Quan Xingzi, "Lord Chairman, if even you can''t cure this illness of Li-er''s too, is there still anyone who can treat it in this world? Chairman Jing he ��"


    The Chairman Jing from Zhou Yan''s mouth was precisely the Divine Realm''s Alchemy Path''s pinnacle existence, the Alchemist Association''s chairman, Jing Fengtian!


    Quan Xingzi shook his head and said, "As far as I know, Chairman Jing probably won''t cut it either! Moreover, even if he''s able to, it''s likely very hard for Li-er to be able to wait for him to take action as well."


    Zhou Yan suddenly said with Yue Mengli with a cold smile, "Li-er, did you hear that?! Even Chairman Jing can''t. Could it be that you think a lower realm''s aboriginal can cure your terminal illness?"


    Yue Mengli cracked a smile and said, "Since even Chairman Jing can do nothing to help, then why not let him give it a try?"


    "You! I think that you''re thinking about that aboriginal in your heart, right?!" Zhou Yan said furiously.


    "So what if yes?" Yue Mengli said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    "You!" Zhou Yan''s entire person was about stomp off in a rage.


    "Li-er! Honorable Nephew did not stint to invite Lord Quan Xingzi here to diagnose your pulse with the best of intentions. What''s with your attitude?!" said a dignified middle-aged man by the side.


    This middle-aged man was precisely the lord of Bright Moon City, Yue Nantian!


    Previously, he did not speak the whole time. At this time, he finally could not refrain from opening his mouth.


    "Aboriginal? Huhu, pardon this old man for speaking bluntly, but how can a lower realm''s aboriginal possibly treat such a terminal illness?" Quan Xingzi suddenly said with a laugh.


    When Zhou Yan heard these words, his spirit was immediately greatly excited. Like putting on a display of power, he said to Yue Mengli, "Li-er, did you hear that or not?"


    Yue Mengli gave him a disdainful glance and said with a cold smile, "Looks like Zhou Yan very much hopes for me to let go of this world!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression turned stiff, and he hurriedly said, "I �� I didn''t mean that!"


    In the end, it ended on a sour note. After everyone left, Yue Mengli''s face appeared slightly haggard as she muttered under her breath, "In a blink, it''s already over a year. It''s been a long time. I wonder if have you been well?"

 766 Backlogged Orders

    Initially she thought that the longing for Ye Yuan was just because he was very similar to that person.


    But after Yue Mengli returned to the Divine Realm, she discovered that Ye Yuan''s figure kept on lingering in her mind and not leave.


    The present Yue Mengli had deep yearning written all over her face.


    "According to Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed, he has probably already ascended to the Divine Realm now, right?" Ye Qing suddenly said.


    Yue Mengli nodded her head, but she said worriedly, "What I''m worried about is also precisely this! Zhou Yan planted a Vastsun Flameheart Pupil imprint on Ye Yuan''s body. If he''s really bent on dealing with Ye Yuan, with his present strength, he''s definitely not a match!"


    But Ye Qing smiled and said, "I don''t know about other people, but Ye Yuan that boy is very abnormal! A measly little imprint presumably won''t have much effect on him at all."


    Yue Mengli''s eyes lit up, and she said, "Really?"


    Ye Qing nodded and said, "When have you see that boy suffer a loss before? Moreover, if Ye Yuan is really that person you suspect, how would he place a puny little Zhou Yan in his sights? Rest assured, wait until that boy shows up in front of you once more, he''ll definitely trample Zhou Yan underfoot!"


    These few days, Ye Qing had been following Yue Mengli constantly and also knew quite a bit of secret concerning Ye Yuan, including Yue Mengli''s suspicions about Ye Yuan.


    Yue Mengli said half-disbelievingly, "Really?"


    "If you don''t believe me, you just wait and see!" Ye Qing said with a smile.


    At the same time, Zhou Yan was currently in a towering rage. "This damn aboriginal! To actually wipe away this young master''s Vastsun Flameheart Pupil imprint! Damn it! Damn it! This Young Master doesn''t believe that a puny little aboriginal can really cure Li-er''s illness! Zhou Yu, according to the coordinates, that aboriginal who ascended from the Endless World should be in the south-west few regions! You send people over right now! You must find that punk for me!"


    "Yes, Young Master!" A guard-looking middle-aged man acknowledged.


    When Zhou Yan entered the Endless World back then, it was through the coordinates given by that black-robed man, directly shattering the plane and going down. As for where Endless World martial artists were able to ascend to, he did not know either.


    There were more than hundreds of millions of small worlds in the Lower Realms. Wanting to check the corresponding region for each small world''s ascenders, that was virtually something impossible.


    Zhou Yan could only roughly ascertain the region Ye Yuan ascended to through coordinates.


    Back then, Zhou Yan leaving an imprint on Ye Yuan''s body was in order to find Ye Yuan easier.


    But who knew that before Ye Yuan ascended, he wiped away the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil imprint.


    Today, Zhou Yan deliberately went to sense the imprint he left behind but discovered that there was no response at all. Only then did he realise that the imprint was already erased by Ye Yuan unknowingly.


    How could Zhou Yan know that in the previous life, Ji Qingyun had some friendship with both the Zhou and Yue families? He was even very familiar with the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil''s method.


    With Ye Yuan''s means, wanting to erase the imprint without making it known to gods nor ghosts, it was too easy.


    ...


    At present, over half a month''s time had already passed since Ye Yuan and the others came out from Xie Lingzi''s grotto.


    In this half a month''s time, the entire Ancient Opulence City appeared very peaceful.


    Not long after Ying Tianya came back, he brought Xu Yan''s remains back to the holy land.


    He Shuming also chose to enter terminal seclusion straight away and no longer appeared in public either.


    Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu similarly chose to enter closed-seclusion. Jun Tianyu''s losses in the Starmist Radiantfire Formation was not small either, and he had no choice but to enter a retreat to consolidate his cultivation realm.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul likewise had considerable losses. In this half a month''s time, Ye Yuan also expended quite a few medicinal pills before fully restoring his divine soul.


    Since leaving Ancient Opulence City until Ye Yuan exited seclusion, in-between this had roughly two month''s time elapsed. But during this period of time, there was a backlog of a large number of Tier 6 medicinal pill orders.


    Ye Yuan had refined a batch of Tier 6 medicinal pills before leaving. The final outcome was naturally the same as what he said: the vast majority were superior-grade medicinal pills.


    With this, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s reputation had a superb start in Ancient Opulence City.


    The Boundless Realm martial artists in Ancient Opulence City practically almost trampled the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s doorsill flat. Every day, there were large numbers of Tier 6 medicinal pill orders.


    But Ye Yuan was not around. Qian-er and Li Huisheng looked at this large batch of orders but were at a loss on what to do.


    They did not dare to make this sort of guarantee that the Tier 6 medicinal pills given to everybody would all be superior-grade.


    Li Huisheng even came up with a rotten idea during this, wanting to let the Meteor Trading Company''s Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse come and refine, but this was flatly rejected by Qian-er.


    This kind of thing like public praise must not be ruined!


    With no other choice, Qian-er could only push all of these orders back and wait for Ye Yuan to return.


    How could Qian-er have expected that Ye Yuan actually entered a retreat immediately after coming back? Moreover, this retreat was half a month''s time.


    This kind of martial artists who put down an order immediately, most of them needed the medicinal pills urgently.


    Backlogging two month''s of orders all at once, how could these martial artists not be anxious?


    Especially these few days, those martial artists wished that they could tear down the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s signboard!


    Qian-er was anxious until she was pacing around in circles at Ye Yuan''s seclusion venue. No idea how long had passed either, she finally caught sight of Ye Yuan exiting seclusion!


    "My lord and master, you finally exited seclusion! If you still don''t exit seclusion, the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion will really have to wind up for good!" Qian-er carried a resentful tone as she grumbled.


    Qian-er actually carried some spoiled-overtones when she said these words, making people unable to get angry.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "If it goes out of business, just open again will do. The sky won''t fall! Talk about it, what did you run into?"


    Qian-er said anxiously, "You! Why do you not have any score in your heart at all? The fire is already burning up to the eyebrows, and you''re actually not nervous at all!"


    Qian-er said the predicament the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion faced for Ye Yuan to hear. Initially, she thought that Ye Yuan would be burning with anxiety. But who knew that he just smiled faintly and said, "I was wondering how big a matter it was. Isn''t it just some Tier 6 medicinal pills? Give the orders all to me. Latest by two day''s time, I''ll hand the medicinal pills all to your hands!"


    Qian-er stared with wide eyes and said, "T-Two days? You aren''t joking with me? I have hundreds of Tier 6 medicinal pill orders on hand. That expert behind you can actually refine finish in two days?"


    Actually, Qian-er had surmises long ago. What expert behind? Utter nonsense!


    This person who refined the Tier 6 medicinal pills was definitely Ye Yuan himself!


    It was just that some words, it was not appropriate for Qian-er to say explicitly. Qian-er was a clever person. She knew that once some words were said, their collaboration with Ye Yuan would come to an end here.


    Actually, when Qian-er heard Ye Yuan make that sort of promise back then, she jumped in fright too.


    It was just that hearing Ye Yuan said that there was a master behind afterwards did Qian-er set her mind at ease a little.


    Yet, Ye Yuan and she, they had been very close. She had never seen before whatever so-called expert.


    Therefore, she boldly guessed that the one who refined the medicinal pills was Ye Yuan himself!


    At that time, she gave herself a great fright too, feeling that this kind of result was too fantastical. How could an Alchemy Sovereign Realm alchemist possibly refine Tier 6 medicinal pills?


    It was fine if refining Tier 6 medicinal pills. But they were even all superior-grade and above medicinal pills! This was too outrageous!

 767 Brought Trouble onto Himself

    Qian-er did not tell anyone the result of her guesses, including the Meteor Trading Company''s people.


    It was because she saw a huge business opportunity on Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan using an excuse that there was an expert assisting behind was because right now, he did not wish for others to know that he could refine Tier 6 medicinal pills.


    If she divulged this information, once Ye Yuan knew about it, he would surely fall out with her.


    The so-called cooperation would also come to an end here.


    But Qian-er was not a short-sighted person. Ye Yuan''s alchemy talent was too heaven-defying. If they made friends with him well, wouldn''t the Meteor Trading Company soar to the heavens in the future?


    Once such a character grew up, they would surely astonish the entire Divine Realm in the future!


    It was easy to add flowers to embroidery but tough to deliver charcoal in the snow.


    Ye Yuan was rising up from a nobody right now. It was precisely the time he needed support. Therefore, Qian-er decided to build good relations with Ye Yuan at any cost!


    It was just that even so, when she heard that Ye Yuan only needed two days to finish refining all of the several hundred Tier 6 medicinal pills, it shocked her until her jaws were wide open.


    These several hundred Tier 6 medicinal pills, even if given to He Shuming to refine, it would probably take half a month, even a month''s time too.


    But Ye Yuan this puny little Alchemy Sovereign actually only needed two days?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "That person''s strength is not what you can imagine. These medicinal pills are not worth mentioning at all in his eyes. Later, you let them send the medicinal herbs and orders all to my residence. Two days later, you''ll naturally have an answer that satisfies you."


    Ye Yuan had said all these, but then he seemed to have thought of something again and said, "Oh, right, these Tier 6 medicinal pill orders, got to restrict them a little in the future. Otherwise, there will be no end to it. Uh �� If there are martial artists whose medicinal pills are used for saving lives, they can cut the line or something."


    "This �� Alright then. Oh yes, there''s still something. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Chairman, Zuo Xin, has already come to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion to find you many times. I''ve already told him that you''re in closed-seclusion. But he still comes over every day. I reckon that he should arrive around this time?" Qian-er said.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "Oh? Looks like they almost can''t take it anymore!"


    Talking about this, Qian-er said with a smug smile, "That goes without saying! These two month, our Meteor Trading Company launched an attack all-round and already beat their Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company until they don''t have the strength to retaliate at all! Now, in the Ancient Opulence City, our Meteor Trading Company has already leaped to first place as the number one major trading firm, while the market their Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company is occupying now is only less than 30%."


    Ye Yuan came back hastily and entered a retreat very hastily. He really did not pay attention to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s current operation situation.


    Now, hearing Qian-er say so, he was very surprised.


    That Zuo Xin could lead the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to firmly occupy the position of number one major trading firm in the Ancient Opulence City, he absolutely had some skill.


    Furthermore, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was deeply rooted in the Ancient Opulence City. Their relationships were deeply-entwined together into an intricate mess. It was very hard others to go against them.


    Even though Ye Yuan was very confident in his own medicinal pills, he also did not think that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could utterly beat down the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company within a year.


    He did not expect that Qian-er only used two month to squeeze the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company dry until they were only left with less than 30% of the market.


    This result involuntarily made Ye Yuan view Qian-er in a different light.


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, Qian-er did not have much capability at all, seeing that she was unable to deal with the situation after being so long in Ancient Opulence City. She should have belonged to the flower-vase type.


    Furthermore, this lass did not have any foresight at all. The last time, she did not look at his medicinal pills at all and was going to drive people out.


    If not on account of their chairman''s face, Ye Yuan would probably not even be bothered to work together with the Meteor Trading Company.


    Sensing Ye Yuan''s gaze, Qian-er could not help turning angry from embarrassment and saying, "What''s the meaning of your eyes? If you don''t believe me, you can go and take a look at these two months'' accounts!"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "No need. I believe what you say."


    "Then what do you mean?"


    Ye Yuan withdrew his gaze and said smilingly, "Looks like I underestimated you. I didn''t expect that a young lady like you actually has such means. Makes me rather surprised."


    Qian-er smiled smugly when she heard that and said, "This young lady has plenty of means! In the past, it''s just a clever housewife who can''t cook a meal without rice! Borrowing this surge of eastern winds, wouldn''t I utterly destroy Zuo Xin that old punk? If not for the headquarters not agreeing to send an Alchemy Ancestor powerhouse over here, our Meteor Trading Company would long have been the Ancient Opulence City''s number one trading company! Speaking of which, the one who rendered the greatest meritorious service this time is still you. Even if I had any more methods, it''s impossible to bring down the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company too!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It''s for the sake of my own cultivation too. You don''t have to overthink it. But we already know each other for so long, and I only know that you''re called Qian-er. I don''t even know your surname and have never seen your real appearance before either. Isn''t this cooperation of ours �� falling short of reality?"


    Qian-er was stunned and did not expect that Ye Yuan would suddenly pose such a question. Hesitating for a bit, she still unveiled her own face-veil.


    "I''m called Zhao Qian. Now, does it live up to the true sense of the term?" Zhao Qian said with a slight smile.


    Seeing Zhao Qian''s beauty that transcended the secular, Ye Yuan''s eyes involuntarily lit up as he praised, "Miss Qian-er has such stunning looks. Wouldn''t doing business yield twice the results with half the effort? But why do you cover your face with a veil?"


    One had to acknowledge that Zhao Qian was absolutely that sort of beauty that was hard to come by. In Ye Yuan''s view, it was at least somewhat on par with Xiao Ruyan.


    But Zhao Qian''s face turned cold, and she put the face-veil back on and said with a cold snort, "Knew that you stinking men are all like this! Humph! I, Zhao Qian, do things based on my own ability. How can I parade my looks!"


    Finished talking, Zhao Qian turned right around and left.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Qian''s departing back view and could not help being slightly absent-minded as he said, "Zhao Qian huh? I wonder what relationship she has with Zhao Xingchen. This forehead looks rather similar!"


    ...


    At the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, inside a hidden chamber, Zuo Xin gave Ye Yuan a bow and said, "A genius alchemist like Master Ye, this Zuo should have come to pay respects long ago. But there are too many matters to attend to, and I keep being too busy to get away. A sin, a sin."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Chairman Zuo is too kind. Your Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company has Alchemy Saint He holding down the fort. How could you think much of me, this junior?"


    Zuo Xin hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. He Shuming offended Master Ye. That was all his own idea. This person is very narrow-minded and envious of those better and more able than him. It''s just that this Zuo''s status is lowly. I urged bitterly many times, but he would not stop. Sigh! Fortunately, he brought trouble onto himself and was already called back by the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Crimson Afterglow branch. Only then did this Zuo able to find this opportunity to come and offer an apology to Master Ye on his behalf."


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he said in surprise, "He Shuming was transferred away?"


    Zuo Xin nodded and said, "Yes! Our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company regards young genius alchemists very highly. But He Shuming he beat down Master Ye by capitalizing on his status. After the branch knew this incident, they were greatly enraged. Not only did they call him back, they even fined him 10 years salary."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn''t expect that He Shuming actually came to such an end.


    Zuo Xin''s mouthful of nonsense, how could he not tell?


    It was just that people already brought out the sincerity of their apology. Ye Yuan could not very well expose it.Looks pretty, but uselessEastern winds refer to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang had everything prepared and lacked only wind blowing from the east. When the eastern winds blew, it burned down all of Cao Cao''s ships.

 768 Acting City Lord

    This Zuo Xin was sly and cunning, pushing all of the blame onto He Shuming, stripping himself clean.


    But Ye Yuan reckoned that the matter of He Shuming getting punished presumably should be true.


    He had the Meteor Trading Company supporting from behind. This kind of thing, he just had to inquire about it a little, and he would know whether it was genuine or a sham.


    Looks like the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was planning on reconciling with him.


    But business was akin to a battlefield. Ye Yuan would not give the other party an opportunity that could be exploited to their advantage because the other party yielded.


    Even if Ye Yuan was willing, it may be assumed that Zhao Qian definitely would not be willing too.


    "Stop beating around the bush. Talk about your intentions for coming," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zuo Xin was not embarrassed at all, fishing out a token and handed it over to Ye Yuan, saying, "Master Ye, this is my Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s gold-level identity token. People in possession of this type of token ��"


    "People who possess this type of token can enjoy a 40% discount at all Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company branches. Moreover, it''s equal to an 8-star elder rank ��" Ye Yuan interrupted Zuo Xin''s words immediately, saying out this gold token''s functions in detail.


    Zuo Xin said in surprise, "Master Ye is actually so familiar with my Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s matters! In the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, there''s only one person possessing this gold-level identity token, that is the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Lord! Didn''t expect that Master Ye actually knows so much in detail about this token."


    Truthfully speaking, the headquarters actually sending people to deliver this gold-level identity token made Zuo Xin extremely surprised.


    One had to know that people possessing this gold token were basically all holy land heavyweight-class figures. The lowest, lowest, were also Dao Profound Realm powerhouses!


    Now, headquarters actually gave a gold token to a Divine Traversing Realm boy. This kind of thing, it was still his first time hearing about it!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Did you guys deconstruct the medicinal pills newly rolled out by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion or not?"


    Zuo Xin''s heart pounded when he heard that. He did not think that Ye Yuan would actually have such a query. He actually did not know how to word it for a moment.


    It was still Zuo Xin''s first time meeting Ye Yuan. Even though he knew that Ye Yuan''s alchemy path strength was very formidable, he did not think that he was actually so astute!


    He only took out a gold token, and Ye Yuan actually guessed the matter of deconstructing the medicinal pills. How fast a reaction did this require?!


    Seeing Zuo Xin faltering and unable to speak, Ye Yuan continued, "Looks like your headquarters'' alchemists failed the deconstruction. Otherwise, you wouldn''t take this out. Uh �� This gold token is indeed very sincere. But do you plan on using one gold token to dissolve my collaboration with the Meteor Trading Company?"


    At this time, Zuo Xin came back to his senses too. Shaking his head, he said, "This Zuo doesn''t have this intention. This gold token doesn''t have just those functions Master Ye said. In it still has my Ancient Opulence City Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s 30% performance shares. And we only have one request, which is that we hope Master Ye also supplies these kind of medicinal pills to our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company. Let us and the Meteor Trading Company sell these few types of pills at the same time."


    A gold token adding on 30% performance shares just to exchange for the selling rights of a few types of medicinal pills. This deal could be said to a certain profit and no losses.


    To Ye Yuan, it was 100% sincere.


    Ye Yuan was deeply aware of this. But after he thought about it for a bit, he returned the gold token to Zuo Xin and said, "Apologies, I can''t agree to you."


    Zuo Xin could not help losing heart as he said, "This �� Could it be that our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s sincerity is still not sufficient?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Sincerity �� is enough. But I, Ye Yuan, am not you merchants. I have my principles. Since I''ve already agreed to collaborate with the Meteor Trading Company, no matter how high your price is, it''s no use too."


    ...


    Zuo Xin left, but the gold token was left behind.


    This gold token was a death-sworn mission issued by upstairs, making him be sure to give to Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan did not accept, he could forget about being this chairman already.


    Finally, Ye Yuan still accepted the gold token.


    He did not mind taking a bit of advantage. As long as it did not go against his principles, it was fine.


    Ye Yuan knew that the resources he required for cultivation in the future would be too much. Moreover, the price would become increasingly expensive. Right now, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion could not support his cultivation for too long.


    Wait until his cultivation realm got higher and higher, the earth essence crystals earned by the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion would fail to meet the expenditure.


    Using this gold token could have a 40% discount when buying things. Only a moron would refuse.


    After Zuo Xin left, Zhao Qian asked Ye Yuan what he came here for. But Ye Yuan smiled and did not speak, leaving immediately, angering Zhao Qian until she stomped her foot at the back.


    Two days later, Jun Tianyu exited seclusion. Not only did he recover to his peak condition, he even achieved a breakthrough in cultivation realm, reaching Third Level Heaven Enlightenment in one go!


    Of course, this was Ye Yuan getting Zhao Qian to bring over some Tier 7 medicinal pills. That was how Jun Tianyu could recover his strength in such a short time and obtain a breakthrough.


    These medicinal pills were all very valuable things. It was very hard for Jun Tianyu to get them too. But Ye Yuan just casually asked and got it.


    Right now, Zhao Qian obeyed Ye Yuan''s every word. Some Tier 7 medicinal pills was also not a big deal to the Meteor Trading Company.


    But through this matter, Ye Yuan suspected even more that this Zhao Qian''s identity was not simple.


    Because of the medicinal pills he wanted, it was likely not that easy to get even for 6-star managers.


    "Congratulations to Brother Jun for breaking through!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Previously, Jun Tianyu had been protecting Ye Yuan''s safety along the way like a bodyguard, and he nearly even lost his life. This made Ye Yuan rather apologetic.


    No matter what, this favor was owed. Therefore, seeing Jun Tianyu having a breakthrough, Ye Yuan was very happy too.


    "Haha, isn''t this still all thanks to those medicinal pills you got!" Jun Tianyu was clearly very happy too, saying with a big laugh.


    These few years, he neglected cultivation. His cultivation realm progression had always been very slow.


    Now, encountering Ye Yuan, not only did he cure his wife, he even obtained breakthroughs in both concepts and cultivation realm. How could he not be happy?


    "Tch, the medicinal pills were procured by me. What are you thanking him for?" Zhao Qian said unhappily.


    Ever since that day, even though Zhao Qian would not defy Ye Yuan''s words, she took a liking to bicker with Ye Yuan. She had never given Ye Yuan any good attitude before.


    Jun Tianyu was very magnanimous and said with a chuckle, "Huhu, Miss Qian-er naturally have to be thanked!"


    "That''s more like it!" Zhao Qian extended her elegant hand towards Ye Yuan and said, "The medicinal pills you promised me?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Reaching his hand out and flicking it, several hundred medicinal bottles appeared in front of Zhao Qian.


    On every medicinal bottle indicated the name of the medicinal pill. They were shockingly all Tier 6 medicinal pills!


    "You do a check," Ye Yuan said.


    A glimmer of shock flickered across Zhao Qian''s eyes, but she said verbally, "No need!"


    As she said this, she put away these medicinal pills immediately.


    Right at this time, a sonorous voice sounded out outside the door, coming over from far away, "Ye Yuan, where are you?! Quickly come out for me!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said, "Pei Wenqiang? What''s he here for?"


    Zhao Qian suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Forgot to tell you guys. City Lord Ying won''t be back for the time being. The higher-ups have already appointed a new acting city lord. His name is Pei Wenqiang."

 769 Crimson Afterglow Valley

    Zhao Qian''s words made Ye Yuan and Jun Tianyu both stunned.


    Without waiting for them to react to it, Pei Wenqiang already barged inside hastily.


    "Ye Yuan, this City Lord came to grace you with his grand presence, and you actually dare to not go out and welcome!" Pei Wenqiang said gloatingly.


    Ye Yuan said with a black face, "It''s clearly you who forcefully barged inside yourself. Is there still reason?"


    Jun Tianyu said coolly, "Ye Yuan, want to sweep him out or not?"


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression choked up and suddenly discovered that Jun Tianyu actually broke through to Third Level Heaven Enlightenment already, and already caught up to him on cultivation realm.


    But in terms of concepts comprehension, he could not catch up to Jun Tianyu even by whipping his horse. Jun Tianyu wanting to sweep him out of the door was probably just a simple matter too.


    "Hey, I''m warning you guys! I''m the Ancient Opulence City''s City Lord for now! If you all dare to touch me, bear the consequences yourself!" This time, it was Pei Wenqiang''s turn to pull a black face.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said impatiently, "Alright, stop flaunting your City Lord''s power and prestige! You be the City Lord, I''ll run my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Let''s stay in our own lanes and mind our own businesses! Speak, what did you come to find me for?"


    Pei Wenqiang was pissed the moment he heard that. "Heh, what high-sounding sentiments! Your shop is opened in my territory! To actually dare have such an attitude towards me! Do you believe that I''ll make you close down shop for good or not?!"


    Talking until here, Pei Wenqiang seemed to be even more pleased with himself as he thought and said, "It''s decided. Later, I''ll make people come to impound your Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. See if you still dare to be so insolent towards this City Lord!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Is that so? Recently, there just happens to be another person finding me. Because I couldn''t bear to part with the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, so I didn''t agree. Since you seized the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion, it helped me make this decision."


    Pei Wenqiang laughed loudly and said, "Heh, found a path to retreat so quickly huh? I wonder who your next player is? You also know my big brother''s status in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Whichever organization you go to, I''ll make them close down! I want to see who dares to take you in!"


    Ye Yuan fished out a token very helplessly and played with it a little in his hand.


    Pei Wenqiang had yet to have any reaction, but when Zhao Qian saw that token, she could not help being struck dumb with amazement as she said, "The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s gold token! You �� Why would you have this kind of thing?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn''t want it. People insisted on forcefully pushing it to me."


    It was indeed Zuo Xin who forcefully pushed it to Ye Yuan. In order to make Ye Yuan accept this token, Zuo Xin almost knelt down for him.


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression changed drastically too as he said, "This �� This is the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s gold token! Isn''t it said that in the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, only the Holy Lord alone has this thing?"


    Ye Yuan gave Pei Wenqiang a glance rather surprisedly and said, "Looks like I underestimated you. Didn''t think that you actually even know about the gold token."


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression was ugly as he said, "I �� I heard my big brother mention it before when I went to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Crimson Afterglow branch to buy things."


    Ye Yuan was enlightened as he said, "Oh, turns out it''s like that. Oh, right, didn''t you want to seal up my Fragrant Medicine Pavilion? Quickly seal. What are you still waiting for?"


    "H-Haha, just now I was just cracking a joke, cracking a joke, Younger Brother Ye, you don''t take it seriously. Ah! Only cared about making jokes, I almost forgot that coming today was for for proper business." Pei Wenqiang suddenly thought of something and hurriedly changed the topic


    What kind of joke was this? This gold token, only a holy lord would have one in the entire holy land. Then what possessing it signified was already understood without being told.


    Sealing up the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion?


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was a Rank One Holy Land; much more powerful than the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, this sort of Rank Nine Holy Land.


    If Ye Yuan really went to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, he could use the status this token represented to screw him to death effortlessly.


    Zhao Qian was absent-minded by the sides. It was also uncertain what she was thinking about.


    But Ye Yuan was somewhat curious about Pei Wenqiang''s intent for coming and asked, "What are you finding me for?"


    Pei Wenqiang said, "It''s like this. The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will be organizing a Quasi-Holy Son selection competition a month later. Each faction subordinate to the holy land has three quotas. About this, when I received this news, I thought of you right away and plan on giving you a spot. How is it? Sincere enough, right?"


    "Quasi-Holy Son selection competition? Not interested!" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and refused immediately.


    Other martial artists longed to enter the holy land very much. But Ye Yuan did not need it.


    Becoming a so-called Quasi-Holy Son was nothing more than getting the holy land''s high regard, then obtaining a certain amount of cultivation resources, such as cultivation methods, such as medicinal pills.


    Yet, these things, the present Ye Yuan could resolve all of it himself. Likewise, he could also settle it himself in the future.


    Because in the Divine Realm, the ones who lacked money the least were alchemists.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could earn truckloads of earth essence crystals.


    The establishment of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion also proved this point. Just a short two to three month''s time, Ye Yuan''s current wealth already exceeded 10 million earth essence crystals. This to an ascender who had just ascended for merely several months was simply something unimaginable.


    Yet, Ye Yuan accomplished it!


    Carrying the title of ''junior with the greatest hope of achieving Alchemy God'', if Ye Yuan could not even earn this bit of cultivation resources, that would also be too trashy.


    "Heh, you still don''t know, right? The rewards for the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time are exceptionally generous. Not only will the first place obtain a high-grade profound artifact, but he can also even get the chance to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley! The Crimson Afterglow Valley! My elder brother, as one of the Seven Holy Sons, didn''t even get the opportunity to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley before!" Pei Wenqiang was actually quite agitated as he said.


    The Crimson Afterglow Valley from Pei Wenqiang''s mouth, Ye Yuan had never heard of it before. He naturally did not know why he would be so agitated too.


    Rather, Jun Tianyu was quite surprised as he said, "The Crimson Afterglow Valley is the place Holy Lord Crimson Afterglow Holy Monarch attained the Dao. It''s said that it opens once every three hundred years. Each time, only three people can go in! These three names have always been selected from the holy land''s holy sons. Why did they actually organize such a Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time? This kind of thing has never happened before in the past."


    Even though Jun Tianyu did not enter the holy land, he was not foreign to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s secrets.


    Pei Wenqiang said, "Who cares! As long as I can charge into the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, no matter how great a price you make me pay, I''d be willing too! Sadly, my age is too old and can''t take part in the competition this time at all."


    But Ye Yuan asked, "This Crimson Afterglow Valley, could it be that there is anything different?"


    Jun Tianyu nodded his head and said, "It''s said that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was originally a Rank One Holy Land, ruling more half of the White Valiant Region! It''s just that no idea why, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lords became more incompetent with each passing generation later on. Today, it actually became a Rank Nine Holy Land. But one thing is for sure, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s rise and decline have a very close relationship with this Crimson Afterglow Valley. Because each generation''s Holy Lord came out from the Crimson Afterglow Valley. This point has never changed before. The holy land organizing the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time unprecedentedly is probably for the sake of breaking the curse too, hoping to find the emergence of a junior disciple who can attain the Dao in the Crimson Afterglow Valley."Holy land ranks follow ancient china court officials ranking, one is the highest.

 770 Quota

    Listening to Jun Tianyu''s words, Ye Yuan became somewhat interested in this Crimson Afterflow Valley.


    In the Divine Realm, to be able to become a Rank One Holy Land, not one was not a major force with deep foundations.


    But deep foundations did not represent strength perpetually not changing. In these countless years, each and every major force took turns alternating. Some of them, their strength became even stronger, while others'' strength declined.


    Such as the Medicine King Hall, they were a super holy land which had just begun flourishing in these few thousand years recently.


    It was just that the Medicine King Hall''s rise up was akin to a flash-in-the-pan, becoming the past very quickly.


    The present Medicine King Hall was already not the Medicine King Hall in the hearts of many Divine Realm martial artists.


    "Just what on earth is inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley?" Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.


    Jun Tianyu shook his head and said, "This, apart from those Holy Sons who entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley, probably no one knows! But everyone also has some conjectures. This Crimson Afterglow should be some kind of inheritances. It''s just that nobody knows what kind of inheritance it is. Ye Yuan, I feel that you can go in and give it a shot. With your talent, I feel that you should be able to obtain the Crimson Afterglow Valley''s inheritance!"


    "Oh? Brother Jun feels that I should go and give it a shot too?" Ye Yuan said in amazement.


    Jun Tianyu was aware of Ye Yuan''s true talent. Ordinary inheritances, he would really not attach any importance.


    But even so, Jun Tianyu still proposed for him to go give it a shot. It could be seen that this inheritance definitely had extraordinary aspects.


    Jun Tianyu nodded and said, "Legends has it that back then, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s first generation Holy Lord had a great world-shaking battle with a Divine King powerhouse at that time because of some matter. At that time, the first generation Holy Lord was still a nobody, while that Divine King powerhouse''s strength was probably almost on par with the present Ten Great Divine Kings. The two people battled for ten days and nights, ultimately ending in a draw. But not long after that, the two people passed away because their injuries were too severe. It was also precisely because of this that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land became more abysmal with each generation too. Their strength plummeted very quickly. Reaching this generation''s Holy Lord, they were finally reduced to a Rank Nine Holy Land."


    Ye Yuan only came to a realization after he heard that.


    Before ascending to the Divine Realm back then, Qi Hai once said that he had already not received news from the Divine Realm for a long time.


    Looks like starting from that time, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was already unable to fend for themselves and completely did not have the energy to go manage the Lower Realms'' matters.


    But the first generation Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord was actually able to fight to a draw with a Ten Great Divine Kings level powerhouse. His strength absolutely did not allow underestimation.


    "Looks like I really have to make a trip to this Crimson Afterglow Valley," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    To the current Ye Yuan, increasing his strength was still placed as number one.


    His present strength was still too weak and still worlds apart from Ji Canglan''s. To be able to obtain an inheritance comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings, this kind of opportunity naturally could not be missed.


    "Hey, brat! I only promised you a slot. Why are you treating it like this first place is already an item in your bag?" Pei Wenqiang was very displeased with Ye Yuan''s cocky attitude.


    Ye Yuan said confidently, "If there is no Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse taking part, then this first place, I''ve probably nailed it!"


    Pei Wenqiang curled his mouth and said disbelievingly, "Although if you get first place, as the person who recommends you a quota, I definitely won''t miss out on benefits and will also have glorious honor. Your boasting is too big! That''s right, the competition this time indeed won''t have Heaven Enlightenment Realm taking part. The age is also restricted to under 40 years old. But you, a Divine Traversing Realm boy, said it like you''re going to sweep across Boundless Realms. It''s also too shameless."


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not explain anything. Rather, it was Jun Tianyu who laughed and said, "Ye Yuan isn''t bragging. He has this capital!"


    Jun Tianyu''s words made Jun Tianyu and Zhao Qian both stunned.


    Could it be that this boy still had uncommon attainments along the Martial Path?


    But Pei Wenqiang did not believe this, and he said, "Boy, I know that you have some means and your capabilities aren''t small either. That''s why I took the risk of offending a major aristocratic family and gave a quota to you. It''s also considered your repayment for the ancient grotto. But in the end, you''re just an alchemist. To talk about overwhelming the junior generation in martial arts, I won''t believe even if you beat me to death either!"


    If Ye Yuan was Boundless Realm right now, Pei Wenqiang might really believe it. After all, Ye Yuan''s means, he had experienced before.


    Disregarding other things, just his attainments in the divine soul was plenty more than ordinary martial artists could bear.


    But Ye Yuan was just Divine Traversing Realm now, while quite a few major aristocratic families and major sects'' disciples were all middle-stage Boundless Realm, even late-stage experts.


    Among them, there was no lack of some genius martial artists with very formidable strength. To say that Ye Yuan had the strength to crush everybody, how could he possibly believe it?


    Ye Yuan gave Pei Wenqiang a glance and said with a smile, "This favor, I accept it. City Lord Pei, after this time, the old scores between us are written off. Nobody owes the other. How''s that?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that even though this Pei Wenqiang had somewhat of bad habits of a silkpants, having a manner as if he was number one under the heaven, when really got to know him, he was not that detestable either.


    At least his promise in the ancient grotto, he really achieved it now.


    Ye Yuan knew that such quotas only had three. Each major aristocratic family would definitely snatch viciously over it. But Pei Wenqiang left one for him. This definitely had to offend people.


    But in order to repay him, he did it without any qualms.


    Though Pei Wenqiang had a powerful backer behind, governing such a large city, he could not really be as reckless as he wished for everything.


    On the contrary, Pei Wenqiang was actually very clever and was very skillful in governing a city too. Otherwise, the moment Ying Tianya entered Clear Reed City back then, he would not possibly have known right away.


    Pei Wenqiang nodded his head and said, "Alright, deal! But this quota, I helped you to get hold of it, but the things at the back, you can only do it yourself. Although you boasted to the high heavens, I still don''t really believe it. You have to do your best. Even if you lose, don''t lose too miserably too. Otherwise, my face will have no light!"


    Pei Wenqiang was managing two cities right now, which was also to say that he actually had six quotas on his hands.


    But Clear Reed City and Ancient Opulence City'' strength belonged to the lower-class standards among the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s subordinate forces.


    Even if the two cities'' major aristocratic families snatched until their scalps bled to obtain the quotas, they probably could not walk very far in the end as well.


    This point, Pei Wenqiang was perfectly aware.


    Him saying this was only putting feathers on his own cap.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "City Lord Pei rest assured, at that time, your face will radiate brilliant light in all directions!"


    The few people were just chatting fervently when all of a sudden, there was a disturbance outside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s front door.


    "Ye Yuan, you scram outside for this young master! Your cowardly turtle, scared is it? If you have the guts, come out and fight one-on-one! Watch this young master beat you until you piss your pants! I want to let City Lord to have a look at just who is fit to go participate in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition!" outside the door, a young man roared furiously.


    Pei Wenqiang''s brows furrowed and he said unhappy, "Punk who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! To actually dare refuse to accept this City Lord''s decision! As it happens, this City Lord just assumed office. I''ll make an example out of this Gu Family punk!"lose faceGain a lot of face

 771 A Word Once Spoken, Cannot Be Overtaken Even by a Team of Four Horses!

    "Gu Family? My slot originally belonged to the Gu Family?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression appeared slightly awkward as he nodded his head. Clearly, he did not expect that the Gu Family punk would actually make such a scene.


    Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance but did not say anything.


    Pei Wenqiang''s mind games, how could he not perceive it?


    Even though Ye Yuan took action and saved Gu Qing, his relationship with the Gu Family was not considered very good either.


    Putting aside other things, this Fragrant Medicine Pavilion was really hauling in bushels of gold now, but this was originally the Gu Family''s territory. How could they possibly not be envious?


    This move of Pei Wenqiang''s gave Ye Yuan a huge benefit and also sowed discord between the two forces'' relationship without extra trouble.


    Him being the City Lord would sail with the wind.


    This kind of inciting method was not considered despicable. It was just the methods of a sovereign. Balancing all parties'' relationship, this was something that every sovereign had to consider.


    Ye Yuan had never eaten pork but had seen pigs running plenty of times. How could he not see through this bit?


    Pei Wenqiang had just newly arrived. Using a bit of trick was justifiable. Ye Yuan did not think anything about Pei Wenqiang because of this.


    On the contrary, if Pei Wenqiang did not play these cheap tricks, he would not be Pei Wenqiang instead.


    Pei Wenqiang''s small trick was just done by taking advantage of an opportunity. After all, the value of a slot far exceeded the problems of inciting the two sides'' relationship.


    If that Crimson Afterglow Valley really had a huge lucky chance, then the value of this quota to Ye Yuan would be immeasurable.


    Some small tricks could be overlooked.


    Ye Yuan gave Pei Wenqiang a glance and side, "This kind of housefly doesn''t have to trouble City Lord Your Excellency to personally take action. I''ll send him away. However �� it''s not to be made a precedent!"


    "Cough, cough, won''t be made a precedent! Won''t happen again! That �� Ye Yuan, you really don''t need me to make a move? Gu Hua this brat, his strength is still very decent. Among the Ancient Opulence City''s junior generation, it''s enough to rank in the top three," Pei Wenqiang said.


    Before coming, Pei Wenqiang did not think that Ye Yuan was actually in possession of the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s gold token.


    Just this one token was already on a completely different level from the Gu Family. This kind of trick seemed very redundant looking at it now.


    But Pei Wenqiang''s means were not weak. Just came for a few days and he already pretty much figured out the Ancient Opulence City''s forces distribution. Even the junior generation''s strength, he already had an account in his heart.


    These three quotas, each one was very precious. How could Pei Wenqiang possibly give to people willy-nilly?


    At that time if they go to compete and lose, he would be the one losing face.


    Furthermore, although the Pei Family was powerful, they had quite a few enemies in the holy land too.


    This kind of major matter which involved the entire holy land, if it were really too perfunctory, it would give people a handle.


    This Ancient Opulence City''s three quotas, apart from Ye Yuan, he selected them carefully. One of the quotas did not even go to a major aristocratic family. But that person''s strength made people wholeheartedly convinced.


    This Gu Hua outside, his strength was indeed very decent. It was just that in order to return Ye Yuan a favor, he endured the pain and squeezed out his quota.


    ...


    "Ye Yuan, scram outside for this Young Master! You, a pill refining guy, what are you joining in the fun with us martial artists for? Leaving Ancient Opulence City, what you lose will be our Ancient Opulence City''s face ��"


    Gu Hua shouted fervently outside the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s front door. The words got nastier and nastier and also drew quite a number of people to surround and watch.


    Originally, everyone was all rather baffled and even thought that because the Gu Family was jealous that Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s current business was good, so they deliberately came to make a scene.


    Who knew that after listening carefully, they discovered that it was completely not the case.


    "I say, Ye Yuan an alchemist, what is he joining in the fun blindly for? Although that Crimson Afterglow Valley reward is tempting, he also has to have the ability to get it!"


    "Yeah! Alchemists should study alchemy intensively properly. But now, he wants to go and compete in martial arts with people. Isn''t this ignoring one''s proper occupation?"


    "Gu Hua''s strength is already Fifth Level Level Boundless. Furthermore, his comprehension of concepts is very high. His strength is also sufficient to rank in the top three among the entire Ancient Opulence City''s junior generation. Ye Yuan snatching people''s slot like this is indeed rather virtuous. No wonder Gu Hua is so enraged."


    Gu Hua stirring things up like this, everyone felt that Ye Yuan doing this was somewhat bullying others too far.


    This way of doing things was clearly occupying the latrine and not taking a dump.


    Right at this time, a large group of people walked out of the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. The person in the lead was precisely Ye Yuan.


    When Gu Hua saw that Ye Yuan finally came out, he could not help looking pleased with himself.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re finally willing to come out. I even thought that you''re going to be a cowardly turtle for the rest of your life! Come, come, come, since you already came out, then let''s have a match. Let everyone take a look just who has the qualifications to represent Ancient Opulence City to battle!" Gu Hua said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "You really want to compete?"


    "Of course! Could it be that I''d joke with you in front of so many people? Enough crap, fighting or not? If you don''t dare to fight, hand over the slot obediently! City Lord Your Excellency, I know that you have a friendly relation with Ye Yuan. But this sort of thing concerns the entire Ancient Opulence City''s reputation. I, Gu Hua, cannot back down!"


    Gu Hua had an appearance of awe-inspiring righteousness for the cause of justice, placing himself on the moral high ground. Even Pei Wenqiang could not say much either.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh slightly and said, "Alright then. Then I''m coming, you have to be ready!"


    Gu Hua did not think that Ye Yuan would actually fight at the drop of a hat and immediately raised all the essence energy in his body to his peak state!


    But right at this time, his neck went cold. A sharp longsword was already pressing against his neck.


    "You''ve already died." Ye Yuan''s ghost-like voice sounded beside Gu Hua''s ears.


    Only all the way to this moment did the crowd react to it. Ye Yuan actually arrived behind Gu Hua since God knows when already.


    Just now, Ye Yuan just had to lightly swipe the Xuanying Sword, and he could claim Gu Hua''s small life.


    Him saying that Gu Hua was already dead was not overboard at all.


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression turned sharp, looking at Ye Yuan disbelievingly. With his boundary, of course, he could easily capture Ye Yuan''s speed.


    But that sort of speed earlier, was that what a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist should have?


    Could it be that this fellow''s strength was actually really so formidable?


    "Ye Yuan, you''re sneak attacking here! Too despicable!" Gu Hua gritted his teeth and said.


    Gu Hua himself did not feel that Ye Yuan was formidable. Earlier, it was definitely Ye Yuan exploiting the time lag, that was how it caught him off guard!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so? Fine, I''ll give you five chances. As long as you''re able to avoid one of my swords, I''ll yield my spot with both hands. How''s that?"


    Gu Hua was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "You said it! At the time when you lose, you can''t go back on your word!"


    Although unwilling to admit it, Ye Yuan''s prowess, he still acknowledged it. Wanting to win Ye Yuan was probably not something that easy.


    But no matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, it was also not possible to make him unable to avoid even one sword, right?


    Since he was taking the path to ruin himself, Gu Hua was not courteous too.


    For the sake of this slot to fight in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition, even if people said that he won unscrupulously, he would accept it too!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "A word once spoken, cannot be overtaken even by a team of four horses!"

 772 Powerful Opponents Like Clouds

    Ye Yuan took away the sword and moved back, saying nonchalantly, "I''m coming. Are you ready this time or not?"


    The words dismissed casually made Gu Hua''s heart tighten. But this time, he gave his whole attention and watched Ye Yuan''s actions, fearful of missing a trace.


    Yet �� there was a blur before Gu Hua''s eyes. Ye Yuan''s traces were actually gone before his eyes again!


    "You died again."


    Ye Yuan''s ghost-like voice sounded beside Gu Hua''s ears once more. Xuanying Sword was placed on his neck one more time.


    "S-Such a swift movement technique! Is this really the movement technique executed by a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist?"


    "In front of such a movement technique, all martial techniques are pointless!"


    "Really didn''t expect that an alchemist actually has such a strange movement technique! Just based on this movement technique, he is unbeatable! Ye Yuan occupying a spot is fully worthy!"


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique made cries of exclamations sound out all around.


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique was too swift. Ordinary martial artists could not even catch his figure at all.


    Myriad laws in the world, only speed is unbroken!


    With such formidable movement technique, facing martial artists whose cultivation realms were higher than his, it was without fear.


    Gu Hua''s expression was incomparably ugly. He never would have thought that a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist would actually be so much stronger than him, this Boundless Realm, in terms of movement techniques!


    That time earlier, he already made ample preparations, but he still could not keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed.


    Ye Yuan removed the sword and backed off once more, saying without joy nor sorrow, "The third sword. Ready for it?"


    Gu Hua''s expression changed, his figure suddenly vanishing from where he stood.


    This time, he decided to strike first to gain the initiative and moved first himself!


    Right now, he was not thinking of doing anything to Ye Yuan at all. As long as he could avoid one of Ye Yuan''s swords, it was considered his win!


    Even though using this kind of method to obtain a slot was somewhat scrupulous, but so what?


    Yet, the next instant, Gu Hua suddenly felt a chill at his waist. Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out once more. "Dead."


    Gu Hua''s expression changed drastically, suddenly changing directions in the air, wanting to escape Ye Yuan''s sword.


    But after two breaths, he died two times in a row again.


    In front of Ye Yuan''s powerful movement technique, he was actually unable to avoid even one sword.


    Which was also to say that if Ye Yuan really wanted to kill him, he just needed one sword and it was enough.


    Gu Hua suddenly sat down on the ground and said unresignedly, "I �� I lost! This slot is yours!"


    With this, no one else dared to call Ye Yuan''s strength into question anymore.


    Even Gu Hua was utterly defeated at Ye Yuan''s hands. Him representing Ancient Opulence City to battle was fame following merit.


    Pei Wenqiang looked at Ye Yuan as if he saw a ghost and said in amazement, "I originally just wanted to return you a favor. But I didn''t expect that your movement technique is actually this strong! Looks like what you said before isn''t completely unfounded."


    Ye Yuan just smiled and was too lazy to explain.


    After this incident, Ye Yuan choose to enter closed-seclusion immediately. This retreat was a month''s time.


    This period of time, it filled Zhao Qian with burning anxiety.


    Ye Yuan did not give her any explanation and just went into closed-seclusion, such that she had not got a clue at all just what kind of agreement Ye Yuan reached with Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company.


    One had to know that what the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company gave Ye Yuan was a gold token!


    Without having a holy lord class strength, it was totally impossible to obtain such a token.


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan''s status in the eyes of those people in the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s headquarters was already comparable to a holy lord''s!


    In the beginning, Zhao Qian was very worried that some unforeseen changes would happen to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion.


    But a month passed, and it seemed like there was no change at all. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s side was also unusually quiet, seemingly already given up on the Ancient Opulence City this stall.


    But Zhao Qian''s encroachment into the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s territory finally also stopped at 20%, this threshold. She could no longer cross over.


    A short roughly three month''s time, the Ancient Opulence City''s two major trading companies switched positions.


    The Meteor Trading Company became the number one major trading firm in one leap, while the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company became a second-rate trading company.


    In truth, the one who reaped the most profits in-between this was actually still the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion. Because their profit share was the highest.


    This one month''s time, Ye Yuan exhausted medicinal herbs valuing close to 10 million earth essence crystals, breaking through the threshold of late-stage Divine Traversing, and was on the verge of breaking through to Eighth Level Divine Traversing!


    With peak Seventh Level Divine Traversing strength, Ye Yuan finally had some confidence in the upcoming competition too.


    All the geniuses in the holy land gathered together. There was bound to be a batch of opponents with formidable strength.


    Ye Yuan''s disadvantage was on cultivation realm. Therefore, even if he rose one minor boundary, it could have a decisive impact on the final result.


    Through a month of settling down, after Ye Yuan left seclusion, Zhao Qian actually resisted and did not ask about the gold token matter.


    This made Ye Yuan unusually surprised and could not help regarding Zhao Qian a little higher.


    This lass was indeed not that simple, to actually even endure such a matter.


    After Ye Yuan exited seclusion, it was also time to leave Ancient Opulence City.


    Due to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s territory being too vast, the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time was divided into 10 major tournament zones.


    At each major tournament zone, all of the contestants would fight in chaotic battles, all the way until the final six was selected to take part in the ultimate selection competition.


    This tournament zone that Ye Yuan was at, there were close to 200 big and small forces.


    Which was also to say that just this tournament zone had several hundred contestants.


    These several hundred contestants, the vast majority were all Boundless Realm martial artists. Of course, there was also a small minority of very self-confident Divine Traversing Realm martial artists like Ye Yuan.


    As for how far these Divine Traversing Realm martial artists could walk �� no one would care about this at all. Because these Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were destined to be finished eliminating in the first round.


    This kind of major competition was very cruel. Without absolute strength, there was absolutely no way to stand out from the masses.


    Several hundred Boundless Realm martial artists, their cultivation realms did not have big differences. Wanting to enter the final six, one''s concepts comprehension and cultivation realm both had to be extremely outstanding.


    Yet, this was still only a start. The real showdown was still at the final tournament at the end!


    Therefore, wanting to ultimately obtain this chance to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley was too difficult, too difficult.


    Even though Ye Yuan was very confident in himself, but against those ultimate opponents, he did not dare to lower his guard too.


    To be able to charge to that sort of level, who would be mediocre?


    Ye Yuan had just left seclusion, and Pei Wenqiang received the news right away and rushed over. Behind him even tagged along two young men.


    "Ye Yuan, if you still don''t leave seclusion, we''d be leaving by ourselves! Oh? Not seeing you for a month, you''re actually almost reaching Eighth Level Divine Traversing already?" Pei Wenqiang was rather amazed at Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed.


    One had to know that the first time he met Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan had only just broken through to Fourth Level Divine Traversing.


    Just how long has it been? Ye Yuan actually broke through three minor cultivation realms already, reaching peak Seventh Level Divine Traversing.


    "Want to obtain the chance to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, how can it do if I don''t cultivate diligently?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "What high-sounding sentiments! Punk, don''t think that you''re invincible under the heaven after defeating Gu Hua that trash! Among the people taking part in the competition this time, there are quite a number of people who are Ninth Level Boundless! Just based on your bit of strength and you even wish to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley?" behind Pei Wenqiang, a young man with an unruly expression said disdainfully.

 773 Yang Wenmiao

    The young man had a stubborn and unruly appearance, with somewhat of a hint of overbearing attitude.


    Pei Wenqiang introduced with a smile, "Here, Ye Yuan, I''ll introduce them to you. This is our Ancient Opulence City''s Xiang Family''s number one genius, Xiang Hao. This is Mu Yun. They are likewise our Ancient Opulence City''s up-and-coming stars! This is Ye Yuan, Fragrant Medicine Pavilion''s owner. Don''t need me to give you guys an introduction, right?"


    Ye Yuan gave a smile, but completely ignored Xiang Hao, and greeted Mu Yun, "Brother Mu, I''ve heard much about you."


    Mu Yun said humbly, "Dare not, dare not! Speaking of this, this Mu recently obtained a breakthrough and still have to thank Brother Ye. If not for Brother Ye refining the Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill for this Mu, this Mu would also be unable to break through the bottleneck."


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "Turns out that the one I refined the Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill for was actually Brother Mu!"


    Mu Yun said with a smile, "This Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill is exceedingly hard to refine. This Mu paid a visit to many masters too, but no one could refine it. Later, I heard that Brother Ye''s alchemy strength is head and shoulders above others, so I came to the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and gave it a try. Didn''t expect that in the end, you actually handed me a superior-grade Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill! With this superior-grade Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill, this Mu''s strength advanced tremendously. The competition this time, I have a bit more confidence too."


    Ye Yuan and Mu Yun chatted engrossedly, directly hanging Xiang Hao out to dry by the side.


    And Ye Yuan completely disregarded his mockery. This made him very pent-up with anger.


    But in front of Pei Wenqiang, he could not very well lose his temper too, and he could only sulk by the side.


    "Heh, the three of you get to know each other more. This time, my face is all up to you guys to gain! Alright, it''s getting late. We should set off," Pei Wenqiang said with a laugh.


    ...


    Ye City was the largest city in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s southern part, ruling up to 200 major and minor forces in the vicinity.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land organizing the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, this place naturally became the arena for the division tournament zones.


    These few days, many people flooded into Ye City all at once. They were all here to observe this competition.


    Although these people did not have the opportunity to take part, how could they miss this sort of grand event?


    And those geniuses possessing the contestant slots were naturally received by the City Lord Manor.


    But just a mere several hundred people was not considered much to the massive Ye City.


    "Pei Wenqiang, I heard that you picked up a huge bargain this time and actually brought six cannon fodders over!"


    The moment Pei Wenqiang and the others entered the door, they just happened to run into another group of people. That person in the lead opened his mouth immediately to mock.


    "Wu Jianqing, several years of not seeing, why is your mouth still so smelly? If what I brought are cannon fodders, could it be that what you brought aren''t cannon fodders?" Pei Wenqiang said angrily.


    "Hehe, this time, I''m afraid I''m going to have to disappoint you! Our Yangyuan City really produced an extraordinary prodigy this time! Obtaining one slot is absolutely a shoo-in! Peng Yan, why haven''t you quickly come over to greet City Lord Pei?"


    A very withdrawn young man behind Wu Jianqing walked out and gave Pei Wenqiang a bow as he said, "Junior Peng Yan, pays respect to City Lord Pei."


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression changed as he said, "Seventh Level Boundless!"


    It was also no wonder that Pei Wenqiang was shocked. To be able to reach Seventh Level Boundless at this age, not one of them was not a figure with astonishing talent. One had to know that these six people Pei Wenqiang brought here, the highest was merely Sixth Level Boundless.


    Wu Jianqing said smugly when he saw the situation, "Peng Yan''s strength is even more formidable than you imagine! With him around this time, locking in one slot is absolutely no issue! How is it, got a feeling of being rolled over or not? Hahaha ��"


    Pei Wenqiang said with a black face, "Don''t get cocky! What the competition is competing in this time is not just cultivation realm! Concepts comprehension is similarly very important!"


    Wu Jianqing laughed out loud and said, "Don''t need you to worry about this! Peng Yan''s concepts comprehension is absolutely much stronger than the group of trash you brought!"


    Concepts comprehension was indeed very important. It was even more important than cultivation realm. But to be able to break through to late-stage Boundless Realm at this age, how could his concepts comprehension be weak?


    This Wu Jianqing came from the holy land''s Wu Family. The Wu Family''s influence was about the same as the Pei Family. Moreover, they were on very bad terms. Therefore, he did not have the least bit of psychological burden when he ridiculed Pei Wenqiang.


    Being able to find a Seventh Level Boundless genius this time, Wu Jianqing could be said to be in high and vigorous spirits.


    "Yii? Among these six people you brought, there is actually still one who hasn''t even reached the Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm? Pei Wenqiang, you''re managing two cities right now, and you actually can''t even gather six Boundless Realms? You even needed to find a Divine Traversing Realm trash to make up the numbers? Hahaha! You''re killing me!"


    Wu Jianqing suddenly discovered the Ye Yuan in the crowd and started jeering even more unbridledly.


    Peng Yan''s gaze swept onto Ye Yuan too, his eyes filled with ridicule and disdain.


    The martial artists coming to participate in the competition this time were basically all Boundless Realms as the main force. Those extremely small minority of Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were all some small forces'' contestants, completely too inferior to show in public.


    "Ah �� Yang Wenmiao! It''s Yang Wenmiao!"


    All of a sudden, there was a commotion outside the courier station. It was all the nympho-like screams of women.


    In the wake of these screams, a group of people walked into the courier station.


    "Lord Yang Sen!"


    The city lords leading their respective teams this time all gave him a bow one after another when they saw a middle-aged man in the lead.


    A handsome youth who was even more beautiful than women followed behind him. His aura was very powerful.


    Those women''s screams were very clearly directed towards him.


    "Huhu, how''s everyone! The Quasi-Holy Son selection this period of time, I''ll have to inconvenient everyone to stay in this courier station. If there are any areas where we didn''t look after you well, I hope that everybody is magnanimous enough to tolerate," Yang Sen said.


    "Lord Yang Sen is too courteous!" everyone hurriedly responded.


    This Yang Sen was clearly very familiar with the various major city lords. After greeting, he found people to engage in small talk one by one.


    Ye Yuan asked Pei Wenqiang curiously, "Who is this person? Seems very impressive."


    "Lord Yang Sen is Ye City''s City Lord, ruling close to 200 major and minor forces in the southern part. Do you think he''s impressive or not?" Pei Wenqiang said.


    Only then did Ye Yuan came to a realization. No wonder these city lords were all very respectful towards him.


    "Like this huh. That youth behind him seems to be very well-received here!"


    "That is Lord Yang Sen''s son, Yang Wenmiao. He already reached Eighth Level Boundless two years ago. Within the entire boundary that Ye City has jurisdiction over, he''s the young generation''s number one genius! Plus, his looks are extremely handsome. Being well-received is naturally something within expectations. The competition this time, the number one in Ye City''s division competition zone, only he alone is qualified!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head to express understanding. Looks like this Yang Wenmiao was a formidable opponent.


    One should not look at Yang Wenmiao''s refined and elegant appearance. Ye Yuan could tell that he did not treat these people in front as opponents at all.


    That arrogance of his was hidden in the bones.


    "Sigh, looks like the competition this time, we don''t have any hopes at all!" said a Clear Reed City''s young genius.


    "Yeah. Just the Seventh Level Boundless this time, there are quite a few. Apart from Yang Wenmiao, the remaining five slots should be born among these Seventh Level Boundless Realms. Those few big cities ranked near the front, their strength is too strong. We have no chance at all!" said the stubborn and unruly Xiang Hao dejectedly.

 774 Monstrous Genius

    Yang Wenmiao''s appearance stirred up a wave of discussion.


    Without any doubt, this Yang Wenmiao already locked down one quota. No one could shake him.


    While the other five spots, the competition would probably be very intense.


    Like Clear Reed City and Ancient Opulence City, this kind of cities, their strength were all weaker in comparison.


    In the competition this time, there were still several Seventh Level Boundless young geniuses. They were the strong competitors for the other five quotas.


    Therefore, the five people traveling together with Ye Yuan were all very dispirited. It seemed as if them coming here were also just going through the formalities.


    Yang Wenmiao kept on following behind Yang Sen, an appearance of impassiveness.


    But when his gaze swept onto Ye Yuan''s body, it suddenly paused for a bit.


    Exceeding everyone''s expectations, he actually left Yang Sen and walked over towards Ye Yuan.


    Each and every action of Yang Wenmiao received great attention. The moment he moved, it immediately aroused a wave of commotion.


    Yang Sen gave his son a glance rather surprisedly, then turned his head over to engage in small talk with those city lords again.


    "Yang Wenmiao is heading over to our side! He �� What does he want to do?" Xiang Hao said rather guiltily.


    Being affected by Yang Wenmiao''s aura, Xiang Hao was even stammering when he spoke.


    "Relax. The competition hasn''t started yet. What can he do? I feel that he should be coming for Ye Yuan," Mu Yun said.


    Xiang Hao was stunned and actually forgot to be scared and said with a jeer, "What''s the unofficially decided number one of the competition looking for a Divine Traversing Realm boy for? In my view, he''s definitely here to look for City Lord Pei. After all, his elder brother is genuinely one of the Seven Holy Sons. Yang Wenmiao coming over to say hello is also within reason."


    Yet, Yang Wenmiao actually walked straight in front of Ye Yuan and said, "I''m called Yang Wenmiao. May I ask for Little Brother''s name?"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    No provocation, no tit-for-tat, just a simple greeting.


    This Yang Wenmiao seemed to have a level-headedness disproportionate to his age.


    And such an opponent was actually even harder to tangle with.


    Ye Yuan said his own name with a faint smile.


    Yang Wenmiao nodded his head and said, "You should be someone who practices the sword, right? You''re very strong!"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Oh? How does Brother Yang know that I''m very strong?"


    Yang Wenmiao laughed too and said, "Just a kind of feeling! Your sword intent is condensed but does not radiate. If not for my Sword Dao attainments not being low, I probably can''t even perceive it! I have a kind of feeling that your comprehensions towards sword intent should still be above mine! However, we probably won''t have the opportunity to exchange blows in the arena. Truly quite regretful."


    Yang Wenmiao''s swords were actually said very arrogantly. But when other people heard it, it was not unexpected in any way at all.


    His Sword Dao attainments were very strong. This point was indisputable!


    Except, what made everyone astonished was that Yang Wenmiao actually said that Ye Yuan''s sword intent was even above his!


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Huhu, there will be the opportunity."


    Yang Wenmiao nodded his head and said, "60 formidable experts like clouds. I must go and take part in the competition this time with my peak condition. Otherwise, this Yang would certainly find Brother Ye to spar for a bout. But it''s good too. Since I know that Brother Ye is under City Lord Pei, I''ll definitely come and find you to seek guidance another day."


    Finished talking, Pei Wenqiang greeted Pei Wenqiang, and turned right around and left, leaving everyone with astounded expressions.


    "Is Yang Wenmiao having a fever? He actually said that that Divine Traversing Realm boy is very strong!"


    "Yeah. That boy doesn''t have any extraordinary aspects at all. I feel that I can flatten him with one hand."


    "If not for the competition forbidding fighting in private, I''d really want to go experience just how strong this boy is!"


    "Heh, no rush. The selection competition will be starting tomorrow. Whether its a mule or a horse, they got to come out and take a stroll."


    Yang Wenmiao''s actions aroused the mass of geniuses'' attention. They all started sizing Ye Yuan up one after another.


    However, the result of the sizing up was that Ye Yuan did not have the slightest extraordinary aspect. He looked to be an ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artist.


    "Ye Yuan, you really stick out. There are several hundred young geniuses here, but you just happened to be eyed by Yang Wenmiao. Could it be that your strength is really that strong?" Pei Wenqiang said rather curiously.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Won''t you know tomorrow?"


    ...


    On Ye City''s practicing field, six enormous arenas were set up.


    The next day early morning, all of the contestants taking part in the competition all gathered at the practice field.


    And at the peripherals, there were even dense crowds of meddlesome people surrounding and observing. It was just that they were blocked off by a massive array formation and were not permitted to enter.


    But this distance was sufficient to let them see the situation on all the arenas clearly.


    "Ah! Yang Wemiao! Go! Go! Wenmiao!"


    These crowd of people spectating at the outer-peripherals, there was a large group of Yang Wenmiao''s steadfast supporters.


    The competition had yet to start, and each and every one of them was like pumped with stimulants, cheering Yang Wenmiao on.


    "Yang Wenmiao is really terrifying. Just these women army''s saliva can drown the opponents to death, right?" Xiang Hao stuck his tongue out and said.


    "Martial artists'' world, only strength will have applause! Yang Wenmiao being so well-received is mainly still because his strength is formidable enough!" Mu Yun said.


    "Yang Wenmiao''s strength is just able to crush his opponents in Ye City''s division competition area. Leaving Ye City, these defenders of his will probably be disappointed," Pei Wenqiang said.


    "Oh? This Yang Wenmiao''s strength is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that the other division competition zones are even stronger compared to Ye City?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    He was not clear about Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s power distribution. Just how strong these other division competition zones'' strength was, he had not the slightest clue.


    Pei Wenqiang said, "Although the selection competition this time is dealing within the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s boundary, the strongest competition zone is actually still the holy land''s division competition zone! If there are no huge surprises, these quotas to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, in the end, are still going to fall on the holy land''s elites!"


    "Then isn''t the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land taking an unnecessary action by organizing this competition?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Pei Wenqiang shook his head and said, "Nay! The territory that a holy land has jurisdiction over is too vast. Even though the majority of the geniuses are placed into the bag by the holy land, there is still a small minority wandering about outside. These people feel it completely beneath their dignity to join the holy land, just like Jun Tianyu. Actually, with his strength, with the holy land''s resources grooming, becoming a holy son is virtually set in stone. This competition is for the sake of making good omissions and deficiencies, drawing those geniuses wandering about outside with the Crimson Afterglow Valley''s quotas."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "With how you say it, each division competition zone should have a batch of geniuses with extremely formidable strength emerge. Then you dare to be so certain that this number one will fall on the heads of the holy land''s elites?"


    Pei Wenqiang''s expression appeared slightly solemn as he said, "I say this, naturally have my reasoning! Because among the holy land''s geniuses, an extremely monstrous genius appeared this time! His strength is probably sufficient to sweep across martial artists of the same rank! Although a batch of very formidable geniuses will emerge in the competition this time, I don''t think that among these people, there is anyone who can surpass him!"

 775 Experts Were Desolate like Snow

    "Oh? Who is this person? To actually live up to such a praise from you?"


    Ye Yuan became somewhat curious thanks to what Pei Wenqiang said too.


    Sweeping across same ranks, this was something that he, Ye Yuan, had been doing all along. If the holy land really had such a genius, he would really be a formidable foe.


    "This person is already universally acknowledged to be the candidate for the next holy lord by many people in the holy land! His name is Nalan Chu!" Pei Wenqiang said.


    "Nalan Chu ��"


    Ye Yuan silently remembered this name. Looks like wanting to obtain the slot to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, this person was the greatest obstacle.


    But if it were really as Pei Wenqiang said, the competition this time would probably not be so simple.


    Those so-called Seventh Level Boundless powerhouses might not be able to laugh till the end.


    After all, cultivation realm was not everything in martial artist battles.


    To ordinary martial artists, Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former was absolutely overwhelming. This is because their cultivation did not vary to a degree sufficient to reverse the situation.


    But what these young geniuses placed the greatest emphasis on was concepts comprehension.


    Seventh Level Boundless versus Sixth Level Boundless, the former might not necessarily be able to win.


    Putting aside others, Ye Yuan felt that Mu Yun''s strength was probably not inferior to those so-called Seventh Level Boundless geniuses.


    Of course, the factors affecting battles were too many. When the fighting really began, nobody knew the answer.


    Moreover, the rules of the competition this time was rather ingenious. Setting up these six arenas was in order to pick six arena lords!


    The ones able to ultimately guard the platform successfully would obtain the qualifications to enter the grand finals.


    This kind of selection method would make the competition between geniuses even more intense. The ones who won, in the end, would also absolutely be the ones with the greatest qualifications to advance.


    Because there would already be no one able to challenge them.


    According to the rules, the people under the platforms could challenge the people on the platforms. If they won, they would continue standing on the platforms and await the next challenge.


    After failing, there would still be the chance to continue challenging on the second day. But everyone could only challenge at most three times.


    If the three times all failed, then they would lose the chance to continue challenging.


    And for the arena lord to want to obtain the advancement quota, they must win a hundred matches in a row, or have no one continue challenging!


    Of course, this winning a hundred matches in a row was not that each person had to fight a full one hundred matches. As long as the challenger defeated the arena lord, they could obtain half of the other party''s match count!


    Facing such rules, no one could be relaxed either. Furthermore, this was a tug-of-war battle. It could not end in three to five days at all.


    One arena lord could only accept 20 challenges each day.


    At this time, Ye City''s city lord, Yang Sen, slowly walked onto the high platform and gave a few encouraging words down below. Ye City''s division competition zone''s competition officially began!


    However, after Yang Sen announced commencement, there was actually no one who walked up to the arenas for a moment. It was actually somewhat awkward.


    These young geniuses were all not fools. They knew that going up right now would be the outcome of being sent down. In the end, they would only be cannon fodders.


    Without absolute strength, who dared to go up the platforms first?


    "Ye Yuan, didn''t Yang Wenmiao say that you''re very strong? What, not going up the stage to try? With your strength, winning a hundred matches in a row shouldn''t be a problem, right?" Xiang Hao derided.


    "Huhu, what''s the rush for. This competition will last for half a month''s time at least," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiang Hao said disdainfully, "Tch, no balls means no balls! Pretending for what?!"


    Just as Xiang Hao was being scornful, a disturbance suddenly came from the crowd. There was actually someone who was the first to go up the platform!


    "It''s Yang Wenmiao! He �� He''s actually the first one to go up the stage!"


    "My god. This is absolute confidence! Apart from Yang Wenmiao, who dares to go up the stage first!"


    "I''m not surprised by Yang Wenmiao being the first one to go up the stage. But I want to know who dares to be the first one to go up the stage to challenge him."


    ...


    Everyone fell silent. This sentence struck the bottom of everyone''s heart.


    The notion that Yang Wenmiao was the number one expert was long deeply rooted in the hearts of people already. Who dared to go up and challenge?


    After Yang Wenmiao went up to the stage, he hugged his sword and stood there, slightly shutting both eyes. Yet, the group of geniuses all exchanged glances, looking at each other. There was actually not a single one who dared to go up.


    Right then, a person dashed onto another platform, cupped his fists at everyone, and said, "This one is Northview City''s Li Tian! I''m willing to serve as a modest spur so that others may come forward with more valuable contributions! Who is coming up to give guidance?"


    Li Tian''s actions aroused everyone''s attention.


    His strength was only Sixth Level Boundless. But his intentions were very apparent, which was in order to compare notes with opponents on the stage.


    In truth, many people present were all aware that they did not have a chance at all. Their goal of coming was also just for the sake of sparring with these geniuses.


    These geniuses were mostly cranes standing out among chickens in the locality. There were not many opportunities to engage in combat with geniuses around the same strength at all. Therefore, the opportunity in this competition was very hard to come by.


    Indeed, with Li Tian moving, there was immediately someone who responded.


    Another person directly flew onto the arena and matched up against Li Tian.


    With Li Tian taking the lead, the other four platforms had people go up very quickly. This great battle also officially pulled apart the curtains.


    Ye Yuan was beneath the platforms, watching these martial artists face off calmly. He also had a bit of rough understanding towards Ye City division competition zone martial artists'' strength.


    But these people''s strengths were completely lacking to Ye Yuan. Therefore, he did not have any interest in going to challenge either.


    Very soon, someone determined the victor on the platforms.


    That Li Tian indeed had some strength to dare be the first one to go up the stage. He beat his opponent down the platform directly.


    Before long, another martial artist went up to challenge Li Tian. The result was that Li Tian won again.


    This nobody, Li Tian, actually won two matches in a row.


    Time slowly trickled by. The first day''s battles drew to an end very quickly, but it made people have somewhat of a drowsy feeling.


    The first day''s challenge, the experts basically all did not go up. It was all some martial artists whose strength were slightly weaker kicking up a fuss.


    One should not look at how some of them won many matches in a row. In the end, it would only benefit others.


    The first day''s competition, the only thing worth watching was probably Yang Wenmiao.


    He just hugged his sword like that, standing all the way from early morning till sunset. But not a single person went up to challenge.


    Experts were desolate like snow, was probably talking about people like him.


    The other five arenas fought until they were locked in a struggle, but his place was cold and deserted. Those geniuses did not even look him in the eye.


    Ye Yuan was also rather curious if there would be people going up to challenge Yang Wenmiao or not.


    After all, according to the rules, as long as no one challenged for two consecutive days, Yang Wenmiao would automatically obtain the right to enter the grand finals.


    On the second day, the competition''s true climax finally arrived!


    The moment it started, there was a Seventh Level Boundless genius who dashed straight onto the platform to challenge Li Tian.


    This Li Tian''s strength was very formidable. On the first day, he actually won 20 matches in a row, guarding the platform all the way until now.


    But the disparity between the middle-stage Boundless Realm and the late-stage Boundless Realm was a little big in the end.


    This Li Tian''s strength could not be said to not be strong. But after barely withstanding for a hundred moves, he was finally defeated.


    With this Seventh Level Boundless taking the lead, very soon, there were people who could not hold back. Another two Seventh Level Boundless Realms flew onto the platforms. The fights started to become intense!

 776 Humiliation

    Following Seventh Level Boundless Realms making their moves, the battles on the platforms clearly became much more intense.


    To be able to defend the arenas successfully on the first day, not one of them was not a formidable character.


    But facing Seventh Level Boundless Realms, their strength was still slightly inferior in the end. Before long, they were defeated.


    Right at this time, Xiang Hao finally could not resist and wanted to make a move too. Because he knew that if he did not make a move, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.


    Xiang Hao going up was to challenge the last remaining arena lord from yesterday. The two people were both Sixth Level Boundless Realm. Their strengths were almost on par.


    "Brother Ye, aren''t you planning on making a move yet? Clear Reed City''s companions have all already went to the arenas before," Mu Yun said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Hasn''t Brother Mu not taken action too? Looks like Brother Mu still has some confidence in your own strength."


    "Huhu, isn''t it still all bestowed by Brother Ye? If not for the Great Sun Heavenly Yang Pill you refined, I would really not have this confidence," Mu Yun said with a laugh.


    "Oh? Then does Brother Mu have confidence in seizing a spot or not?"


    Mu Yun said with a bitter smile, "How can I dare say that I have the confidence in this? I can sense that the martial artists who came to Ye City this time, there is quite a number whose strength are all uncommon. I can only give it my all to go vie for it too."


    Ye Yuan smiled, but his gaze swept over towards the Xiang Hao on the platform. "I didn''t expect that this Xiang Hao''s eyes are on top of his head, but his strength isn''t common. Looks like he has subdued this arena lord."


    Xiang Hao''s cocky manner all day long was very disliked by people. Forget about Ye Yuan, even Mu Yun did not like him very much either.


    But his strength was unexpectedly strong. He already beat that arena lord until he did not have the strength to retaliate at all.


    Before long, that arena lord directly chose to concede. Xiang Hao became the new arena lord and was actually rather high-spirited and enthusiastic for some time on the stage.


    Pei Wenqiang pulled a long face when he saw the situation and said, "This boy acts really recklessly and blindly! Just won a match and he dares to show off like this! Without sufficient strength, this kind of occasion, the more low-profile, the better. This boy is purely drawing aggro!"


    Ye Yuan, Mu Run, and the rest all could not help laughing when they heard that.


    On the other side, When Wu Jianqing saw Xiang Hao''s manner, he could not resist pursing his lips and said, "This bit of strength also dare to come out and show off. Looks like Pei Wenqiang really has no one available for use anymore! Peng Yan, you go up and trash that punk down for me!"


    Peng Yan was slightly stunned as he said, "Going up so early? Isn''t it �� somewhat disadvantageous?"


    Wu Jianqing said with a cold snort, "With your strength, winning a hundred matches in a row shouldn''t be difficult. Don''t mind those details. Place your sights a little further! Your opponents are not these trash, but those geniuses entering the grand finals! Fighting a few more matches will be beneficial to you!"


    Peng Yan''s eyes lit up as he bowed and said, "Peng Yan was superficial. Many thanks for City Lord Wu''s guidance."


    Wu Jianqing nodded his head and said, "Your current strength is still a little weak when facing those geniuses entering the grand finals. Want to obtain a slightly better rank, you have to at least reach Yang Wenmiao that sort of level. Go on then, temper yourself well."


    Peng Yan''s expression became rather solemn. His gaze involuntarily looked towards the Yang Wenmiao, his eyes desolate as snow.


    Yang Wenmiao''s might made people dare not have thoughts of surpassing the other party at all.


    Peng Yan figure leaped, jumping onto the arena directly.


    Seeing Peng Yan, Xiang Hao''s face fell.


    This Peng Yan''s strength was very formidable. He was not a match at all! He originally thought that he could stand for a while more on the stage. Who knew that this fellow actually targeted him like so, directly going up the stage to challenge already.


    "Are you going down yourself, or do you want me to use my feet to trample on your face down?" Peng Yan said with a scornful look.


    Xiang Hao''s face turned black. This guy was so wildly arrogant. He was clearly humiliating him!


    "Aren''t you just Seventh Level Boundless? To actually be so conceited to this sort of degree? Heh, if you have the capabilities, come and kick my face!" Xiang Hao said with a cold smile.


    He was still very confident in his own strength. Even if he could not beat this Peng Yan, he absolutely would not lose too terribly either.


    Peng Yan shook his head and said with a sigh, "I''ve really never seen before such a request. Alright then, as you wish!"


    Finished talking, Peng Yan''s figure swayed, and actually became 19 Peng Yans immediately!


    Xiang Hao''s expression changed. Spreading out his divine sense, he was actually unable to differentiate which was the real body!


    "You don''t need to look anymore. Each clone is a corporeal body. You can''t find it. Stand properly, I''m coming to kick your face!" Peng Yang said indifferently.


    His voice had yet to face when 18 figures galloped straight for Xiang Hao directly.


    One Peng Yan was hard enough to deal with already, let alone 18?


    Xiang Hao teetered on his feet, only to feel that it was all Peng Yan''s figure everywhere before his eyes. Very soon, he could not hold out anymore.


    Bang!


    One of Peng Yan''s feet landed onto Xiang Hao''s face without any deviation, trampling him down on the platform directly.


    "Ouch! L-let me go, I ��"


    Xiang Hao did not expect that this Peng Yan was actually so strong, defeating him in no time flat.


    But just as he was going to admit defeat, Peng Yan stepped a foot on his face again, cutting off his words forcefully.


    "En? What were you saying earlier? I didn''t hear it," Peng Yan said with a loud laugh.


    "I admit ��"


    Another leg. Peng Yan just refused to let Xiang Hao say out ''admit defeat,'' these two words.


    Beneath the stage, Pei Wenqiang''s face was fiery-hot, as if that foot was stepping on his face.


    "Bullying people too far! Bullying people too far!"


    Pei Wenqiang was livid with rage. Peng Yan''s actions were completely Wu Jianqing smacking his face!


    There were so many city lords here. Everyone was all competing on the sly too.


    Even losing face was not glorious, let alone being humiliated in front of so many people.


    When Wu Jianqing saw the mud-like Xiang Hao, he said with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha! What are all these trash Pei Wenqiang brought! Sixth Level Boundless doesn''t even have the chance to speak at Peng Yan''s hands."


    At this time, there were quite a few city lords with pretty good relationships with Wu Jianqing coming over to congratulate him.


    Peng Yan''s strength was plain for everybody to see. He was very strong enough even among Seventh Level Boundless Realms. Obtaining a quota shouldn''t have any big issues.


    "City Lord Wu, congratulations! Didn''t expect that your Wenhai City actually had such a formidable young junior emerge!"


    "City Lord Wu, congratulations, congratulations! This Peng Yan''s strength is probably the number one person under Yang Wenmiao. Obtaining an advancement spot this time is definitely no sweat!"


    Wu Jianqing dealt with everyone''s felicitations, his face pleased with himself.


    Peng Yan''s performance made his face feel extra glorious.


    While at this time, Xiang Hao was still struggling under Peng Yan''s foot. Xiang Hao still could not say ''admit defeat'' these two words.


    But Peng Yan seemed to have the intention of disgracing Xiang Hao and just refused to let him say out these two words.


    According to the competition''s rules, only by yelling out admit defeat or falling down the platform, could it be considered one party winning.


    "This Peng Yan is truly bullying others too far! Xiang Hao is already planning on conceding, and he''s actually still humiliating like so!"


    Although Mu Yun disliked Xiang Hao, regarding Peng Yan''s close to dehumanizing action, he seriously could not put up with it.


    But right then, Mu Yun suddenly felt the wind moved beside his ear. Ye Yuan actually vanished on the spot immediately.

 777 He Rubs Me the Wrong Way

    "Quickly look! Somebody couldn''t carry on watching and went up to the platform!"


    "This guy is a moron, right? The platforms all have array formations isolating. Not opening them up, how will he enter?"


    "It''s even a Divine Traversing Realm rookie. Isn''t this going to meet with a serious rebuff?"


    Ye Yuan''s figure landed in everyone''s eyes. It was all faces full of sneering looks.


    These people did not feel anything inappropriate about the action of Peng Yan humiliating Xiang Hao.


    Peng Yan had absolute strength. Even if he humiliated Xiang Hao, other people did not dare to easily challenge him as well.


    Furthermore, Xiang Hao looked for trouble himself. Previously, he still had a manner like a vile person intoxicated by success. Many people were all pissed with him.


    The martial artist world was like so. In everyone''s notion, the strong bullying the weak, that was how it ought to be.


    Who asked your strength to be lacking!


    If you have the capabilities, go and cultivate properly, then trample back. Otherwise, shut your mouth obediently and wait for others to humiliate.


    However, the mockery on everyone'' faces became astonishment very soon!


    Ye Yuan actually passed right through the isolating array formation under everyone''s gaze, and he entered the arena!


    Peng Yan naturally discovered Ye Yuan right away. But he was the same as the others; all of them waiting to see Ye Yuan''s make a fool. His face even revealed a mocking smile.


    But that moment when Ye Yuan passed through the array formation, his smile froze on his faze.


    "Heh, so what if passed through the array formation? Can a Divine Traversing Realm boy still overturn the heaven? Dragon Claw Hand!"


    Peng Yan reacted very quickly, making a move with a cold smile.


    It was only to see his fingers formed a claw. Essence energy immediately condensed to form a dragon claw, grabbing towards Ye Yuan!


    The power of this claw was even enough to deal with Sixth Level Boundless Realms. A mere Divine Traversing Realm martial artist was naturally nothing difficult.


    But right then, there was a blur in front of Peng Yan''s eyes. Ye Yuan''s figure instantly transformed to become nine in the air!


    His Dragon Claw Hand actually missed!


    "Humph! Displaying slight skill before an expert!"


    Peng Yan snorted coldly. Flexing his hand-claw, that Dragon Claw Hand actually divided into nine, grabbing towards nine Ye Yuans!


    Swoosh!


    In front of Peng Yan was a blur again. Nine Ye Yuans suddenly increased speed and were actually as nimble as hares escaping!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One foot, two, three�� nine; each foot all trampled on Peng Yan''s face.


    The strength was not heavy but left behind nine clear and distinguishable shoe prints on Peng Yan''s face.


    "Puu huuu ��"


    When everyone saw those nine shoe prints, they all could not resist laughing.


    "Punk, you''re courting death!" Peng Yan squeezed out these few words from between his teeth.


    Ye Yuan casually waved a hand and fired out a strand of essence energy, bringing away the Xiang Hao who was trampled until his face was full of blood.


    "Concede. This debt, I''ll claim for you," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiang Hao''s face looked very wretched at this time. But while it was miserable, it could not compare to how ridiculous those nine shoe prints on Peng Yan''s face looked.


    Xiang Hao looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. He never expected that when he was being humiliated by people, the one who came to rescue him was actually the Ye Yuan he was very disdainful of all along previously.


    Shouldn''t Ye Yuan be making fun of his incompetence at one side at this time?


    He actually came forward and said to help him get back justice.


    In an instant, Xiang Hao''s tears actually welled up in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan stepping forward courageously at this time, returning good for evil, how could it not move him?


    "You �� Why did you help me?" Xiang Hao choked sobbingly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Very simple, he rubs me the wrong way!"


    A scholar prefers death to humiliation.


    The strong had the dignity of the strong. The weak had the self-respect of the weak too. Being stronger than others did not mean that one could trample on other people''s dignity!


    Ye Yuan had experienced before the might of showing disdain on all life under the heavens and also experienced before the helplessness when his strength was lacking.


    Peng Yan''s actions made him unwittingly think of Zhao Tianyin.


    Powerful strength did not mean that one could humiliate others.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was pissed at him!


    No matter what, Xiang Hao was Pei Wenqiang''s men. Following him was also considered being in the same entrenchment.


    Peng Yan humiliating Peng Yan like so was equivalent to sweeping away the faces of everyone on their side.


    "M-Many thanks!" Xiang Hao''s heart shivered. All of the views about Ye Yuan previously immediately vanished without a trace.


    Currently, in Xiang Hao''s heart, it was all gratitude towards Ye Yuan.


    "Rather than thanking me, why not cultivate more diligently yourself. Want to not let this scene today ever happen again, you got to let yourself become even stronger!" Ye Yuan said.


    Xiang Hao''s heart shuddered when he heard that. His gaze gradually became determined. That was the intense desire towards becoming strong!


    He turned around and clasped his hands towards Peng Yan, and said, "Your esteemed self''s skills were impressive. This Xiang admits defeat! However, there will come the day that this Xiang seeks guidance from your esteemed self again!"


    Peng Yan said disdainfully, "Don''t know what you''re talking about! The disparity in strength cannot be compensated with rage! The disparity between us will only get greater and greater!"


    Xiang Hao did not dispute with Peng Yan, turning right around and went down the arena.


    One could tell that Ye Yuan''s words really stimulated him.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Rage indeed can''t compensate disparity, but diligence can! An army burning with righteous indignation is bound to win! Once people have a driving force, they will erupt with unimaginable potential."


    Peng Yan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "You better not worry about others anymore. Best be worried about yourself! Brat, your actions just now successfully incurred this Young Master''s fury! Therefore, your outcome will be even more miserable than his!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Peng Yan and smiled. Then, he raised his hand beckoned. The action of disdain was displayed plainly.


    Seeing this scene, the Wu Jianqing beneath the stage could not help sneering coldly as he said, "This fool. To actually dare provoke Peng Yan like this. He wouldn''t really think that by relying on his Divine Traversing Realm strength, he can do anything to Peng Yan, right? Just now, Peng Yan was just momentarily careless and didn''t even use 30% of his strength. Stirring up Peng Yan''s fury, I very much want to see what his outcome will be."


    "Haha, that Divine Traversing Realm really knows how to pretend! To actually dare provoke his opponent like this! Although his strength is indeed not bad, the other party should only be careless just now."


    "This Divine Traversing Realm is indeed rather unexpected. To actually be able to directly pass through the isolating array formation. But most likely, that Peng Yan did not think that too. Hence, that''s why he would fall victim to that brat in a moment of carelessness, right?"


    "This Peng Yan''s strength is very strong. Even though he has not displayed all of his strength yet, he''s likely quite a bit stronger compared to ordinary Seventh Level Boundless Realms."


    Although Ye Yuan successfully left behind clear and distinct shoe prints on Peng Yan''s face, there was still no one optimistic about him. After all, the disparity between his and Peng Yan''s strength was too great!


    Moreover, looking at Peng Yan''s combat strength just now, his strength was absolutely much stronger compared to ordinary Seventh Level Boundless Realms.


    Because Xiang Hao''s strength was actually not weak. Even for those Seventh Level Boundless geniuses, wanting to easily beat him was absolutely not an easy thing.


    But Peng Yan easily defeated him and humiliated him.


    It could be seen that Peng Yan''s combat strength was definitely very strong!


    Ye Yuan provoking right now was completely seeking death.


    They were just rather curious what kind of method Peng Yan would use to disgrace Ye Yuan in a while.

 778 Large Footprin

    "Blind reckless fool!"


    Peng Yan''s fury was thoroughly ignited by Ye Yuan. A long-saber appeared in his hand.


    Essence energy surged. The essence energy in this small field of activity around the entire arena was taken control by him very quickly.


    He actually wanted to plunder the essence energy around Ye Yuan completely!


    This was the powerful aspect of Boundless Realm martial artists. They could take control of the essence energy within a small area and put it to their own use.


    Speaking from a certain degree, the battle between Boundless Realm martial artists was the battle of plundering heaven and earth essence energy!


    Whoever''s control ability was stronger, whoever could lead the entire battle situation.


    Very clearly, in this area, Divine Traversing Realm martial artists were too disadvantaged.


    "This is completely a battle without suspense. This move of Peng Yan''s is vicious enough. That brat probably even has the thought of wanting to cry now, right?"


    "Divine Traversing Realm facing Boundless Realm, it''s virtually an irresolvable situation. Without heaven and earth essence energy available for use, one can''t unleash the power no matter how powerful the martial technique too."


    "Unless this boy''s concepts comprehension flings Peng Yan several streets behind and is able to rely on the powerful undulation of the concept to breach Peng Yan''s control. But how is this possible? Peng Yan''s saber intent is probably already not far away from comprehending the elementary form of a supreme true intent, right?"


    That horrifying saber intent of Peng Yan''s made the martial artists beneath the stage all feel a chill run down their spines. The might of his saber intent could be seen.


    To want to fling Peng Yan several streets behind in concepts, this was something completely impossible!


    Even Yang Wenmiao could not do it too!


    If Yang Wenmiao was only Seventh Level Divine Traversing, it was absolutely impossible for him to be Peng Yan''s match.


    Even if his concepts comprehension was much stronger than Peng Yan''s.


    "Without heaven and earth essence energy to use, I want to see just where your confidence to dare be so wildly arrogant lies! Sunset Crazed Saber!"


    Toward Ye Yuan, Peng Yan did not drop his guard.


    Although those few kicks earlier were rather unexpected, it was also sufficient to prove that Ye Yuan was not an ordinary Divine Traversing Realm martial artist. His strength was sufficient to compete with Boundless Realms.


    Otherwise, even if a puny little Divine Traversing Realm took him by surprise, it was also not possible to make him admit defeat.


    But so what?


    His, Peng Yan''s goal, was never at this puny little Ye City!


    A little known Divine Traversing Realm boy, no matter how formidable his strength was, how could it be possible to be his match?


    The powerful saber intent swept over towards Ye Yuan while blotting out the skies and covering the earth.


    "Ye Yuan, be careful!" beneath the stage, Xiang Hao clenched his fists tightly and cried out in shock.


    Only when he saw this blade did Xiang Hao know just how great his disparity from Peng Yan was!


    The disparity between the two of them was absolutely not just a minor cultivation realm. The gap in concepts was even bigger!


    Even the Yang Wenmiao who was as destitute as snow on the stage all along opened both eyes at this time too, looking over towards that platform.


    Very clearly, this blade of Peng Yan''s made him slightly taken aback.


    However, his gaze was locked onto that figure which appeared slightly thin.


    What he wanted to see even more was just how powerful Ye Yuan was.


    He wanted to affirm that his feeling was not wrong!


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao attainments should be very formidable!


    However, Ye Yuan disappointed him.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s aura rose to the peak. Violent true dragon power shot straight to the skies!


    At the same time, a heat wave instantly burst out. Two kinds of powerful to the extreme auras blended together under everyone''s gaze.


    "Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!"


    A fire dragon burst out violently, galloping over towards that saber intent savagely.


    Everyone''s faces all changed. They were unable to imagine that a Seventh Level Divine Traversing was actually able to unleash such a powerful attack, and clash head-on with the Seventh Level Boundless Peng Yan!


    The control ability of Boundless Realm was an utter joke in front of this Flame Movement True Dragon Carnage!


    Regardless whether was it true dragon power or the Scorching True Intent, it all could easily destroy this kind of control power!


    Boom!


    Peng Yan received a tremendous impact, his figure falling back continuously.


    "Oh ��"


    A wave of exclamation suddenly burst out from within the crowd. Because Peng Yan already fell back to the borders of the platform. A little bit more to the back and he would fall down the platform.


    The isolating array formation on this platform permitted exit and forbade entry.


    The people outside could not come in, but for the people inside to fall outside, they were not affected.


    If Peng Yan dropped down directly, then he would lose!


    Peng Yan gritted his teeth, forcefully mustering up the disorderly essence energy within his body. His body suddenly sunk downwards, finally barely keeping his feet steady at the peripherals of the platform.


    "Huuuu ��"


    Peng Yan spat out a mouthful of turbid air heavily, but he secretly heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.


    If he were to really drop down, that would be disgraceful.


    "Oh ��"


    Another wave of exclamation erupted in the crowd. Peng Yan had yet to figure out what happened when suddenly, there was darkness in front of his eyes. A large foot directly appeared before his eyes, getting increasingly bigger!


    Bang!


    Peng Yan''s figure flew out backward once more, falling down the platform immediately, rolling out far away.


    Ye Yuan actually already arrived in front of Peng Yan since goodness knows when, and gave him a good one to his face, kicking him down the arena directly.


    "Puu huuu ��"


    A wave of guffaws erupted in the crowd.


    Especially Xiang Hao, it was so vented in his heart!


    Kicking his face down the platform. These were the words Peng Yan humiliated him with previously.


    But now, Peng Yan himself was kicked down by Ye Yuan with his face.


    It was really instant karma!


    Ye Yuan this fellow really accomplished what he said. When he went up to the stage, he said to help him get back justice. Now, he really claimed it back!


    He really did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually this formidable. To think that he even looked down on Ye Yuan previously, thinking that Ye Yuan was bragging.


    Looking at it now, he was completely disdainful to explain!


    A martial artist''s might was never preened out, but fought out with fists and kicks!


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan did well! Truly venting! Whatsisname there, didn''t you like to step on other people''s face? Why were you trampled yourself? Hahaha ��" Pei Wenqiang said with a loud laugh.


    Pei Wenqiang had already been repressed for a very long time too. In the wake of Ye Yuan''s kick, he thoroughly released it.


    Wu Jianqing''s expression was incomparably ugly. He never would have thought that Peng Yan actually only lasted one round on the arena!


    It was fine if he was eliminated in one round. He was even kicked down by a Divine Traversing Realm boy using his feet to his face.


    This kick was not just Peng Yan''s face, it was even his, Wu Jianqing''s, face!


    However, Wu Jianqing was also rather frightened by Ye Yuan''s might.


    A Seventh Level Divine Traversing boy was actually able to contend head-on with a Seventh Level Boundless. This was simply unimaginable.


    Moreover, without any doubt, that head-on clash previously, it was actually still Ye Yuan who slightly took the upper-hand. Otherwise, how could he possibly stabilize his figure before Peng Yan, and then he kicked Peng Yan down with one leg?


    Pei Wenqiang that guy, where did he find such a freak?


    Peng Yan scurried up from the floor with a whoosh. But his face had an additional very distinct large footprint, looking extremely comical.


    When everyone saw his face, they roared with laughter again.


    Those nine prints earlier only looked somewhat ugly. But it actually did not have much effect on Peng Yan.


    But this leg, Ye Yuan stepped solidly. That large footprint was completely formed from a contusion.


    "Boy, you wait! Today''s humiliation, I''ll definitely return twofold tomorrow!" Peng Yan said in a towering rage.

 779 Dark Horse

    "Ye Yuan, win! Consecutive win count, 11 matches!" Ye City''s judge directly announced the results.


    Ye Yuan defeated Peng Yan and won half of his victory count immediately.


    Although Peng Yan failed, he still had the opportunity to challenge tomorrow.


    Looking at him, seemed like he still wished to challenge Ye Yuan tomorrow.


    Ye Yuan''s prodigious kick thoroughly sowed the discord between the two people.


    "What he used just now should be the Scorching True Intent, right? The other one �� could it be true dragon strength? This Ye Yuan has such heaven-defying encounters, to actually be able to obtain true dragon strength! What''s even more terrifying is that he''s actually able to fuse these two types of extreme power together! Tsk tsk, leaping a major cultivation realm to battle. That brat actually really accomplished it!" Yang Wenmiao was secretly blown away inwardly.


    Although taken aback, Yang Wenmiao did not feel that he was worse than Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s methods were heaven-defying, but Yang Wenmiao also had immense confidence in his own methods.


    But without any doubt, Ye Yuan''s strength was already sufficient to rank among the powerhouses and had the strength to assault that advancement quota.


    Just as Yang Wenmiao was ruminating, a wave exclamations suddenly sounded out again beneath the platform.


    Yang Wenmiao was slightly stunned but saw a young man actually standing onto the platform he was on.


    Somebody wanted to challenge him?


    Only to see that young man clasp his hands and said, "I''ve long heard that Brother Yang is Ye City''s number one person. Younger Brother, Nanwu City''s Tang Fan, wish to challenge Brother Yang!"


    Yang Wenmiao could not help sizing up this young man called Tang Fan. He did not seem to have any extraordinary aspects.


    What made Yang Wenmiao slightly astonished was that Tang Fan was actually only Fifth Level Boundless.


    Since young, the targets Yang Wenmiao challenged were always higher cultivation realms than him. This sort of situation today, it was still his first time encountering.


    But Tang Fan''s actions caused an uproar among Yang Wenmiao''s defenders.


    "Who the hell is that brat? To actually dare challenge Wenmiao! Just that level of his, wouldn''t going up be making a spectacle of himself?"


    "That''s right, that''s right! This fellow is really overestimating his own ability, to actually dare challenge Wenmiao! This guy is definitely trying to impress people by doing something shocking!"


    "Wenmiao, pummel him!"


    In everyone''s thinking, Yang Wenmiao should have no one challenge for two days straight, then directly obtaining the qualifications to advance from there.


    But now, there was actually someone who shattered this thing which everyone firmly believed. Therefore, the reactions were especially huge.


    Even Ye Yuan was very surprised by Tang Fan''s actions too.


    After Yang Wenmiao was slightly dazed, he nodded his head nonchalantly and said, "Make a move then!"


    "Here I come!"


    The moment Tang Fan made a move, Yang Wenmiao''s expression became solemn.


    This Tang Fan''s strength was actually not an ordinary kind of strong!


    Tang Fan was also a sword-practicing expert, but his sword seemed to be only particular about one word, and that was ''fast''!


    His sword art was unbelievably fast, virtually not giving his opponent the slightest bit of chance to make a move at all.


    Myriad Sword Daos, every person''s pursuit was different.


    Some people pursued the sword''s awe-inspiring righteousness. Some people pursued the sword''s level-headedness and composure, while what Ye Yuan pursued were nimbleness and sharpness!


    What this Tang Fan pursued was agility!


    Attacking thousands of times instantaneously, how could his opponent react in time?


    Tang Fan''s sword made all the skeptical voices from before all quieten down.


    These geniuses'' horizons were all very high. They were able to tell that if the one who stood on the platform were not Yang Wenmiao, they would have long been defeated already!


    Seventh Level Boundless Realms, even if it was that Peng Yan, he was probably not this Tang Fan''s match too!


    This Tang Fan was too strong!


    Tang Fan''s movements were too fast, swift until his figure pervaded everywhere on the platform.


    That was not a cloning technique like Peng Yan. They were purely afterimages left behind from speed being too fast!


    Yang Wenmiao actually only had the strength to ward off blows for a time under Tang Fan''s attacks.


    These Yang Wenmiao''s supporters were also silent already at this time. Each and every one of them clenched their fists tightly, secretly cheering Yang Wenmiao on.


    "S-So strong! Could it be that this Tang Fan is actually going to drag Yang Wenmiao down from the altar?" Xiang Hao swallowed hard and said in shock.


    This competition, he had really witnessed too many monstrous geniuses.


    As one of Ancient Opulence City''s top geniuses, only now did Xiang Hao know that turned out he was a frog at the bottom of a well!


    One Ye City had so many formidable foes already. Then what about the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land?


    Mu Yun nodded and said, "Indeed very strong. But I feel that it''s probably still quite difficult for him to want to beat Yang Wenmiao."


    "En? Yang Wenmiao is already being suppressed by him until he doesn''t have the slightest strength to retaliate. Is it possible that there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory?" Xiang Hao said in surprise.


    "Tang Fan''s fighting method is impressive but exhausts essence energy immensely. If he can''t take down his opponent in a short period of time, he will be in a bad situation," Mu Yan evaluated.


    Right then, Ye Yuan also sighed slightly on the platform.


    This Tang Fan still lost in the end.


    Indeed, Yang Wenmiao aura suddenly swept out, sending Tang Fan flying out.


    Tang Fan seemed to be unresigned to being defeated like this and even wanted to struggle for a moment in the air. But Yang Wenmiao''s sword qi did not give him the least bit of opportunity to catch his breath, blasting him down the platform immediately.


    There were no voices mocking Tang Fan at all. To be able to force Yang Wenmiao to such an extent, Tang Fan could be said to be the first person!


    His strength won everybody''s respect!


    Yang Wenmiao stood while carrying his sword and said to the Tang Fan beneath the stage, "You''re very strong! Looking forward to the next time I fight with you!"


    Tang Fan struggled to his feet and said stubbornly, "Next time, I definitely can defeat you!"


    Yang Wenmiao smiled but did not say anything else.


    He already deeply sensed this Tang Fan''s threat.


    One had to know that Tang Fan was only Fifth Level Boundless; he was three minor cultivation realms lower than Yang Wenmiao, but he was able to force the latter into such a plight.


    This Tang Fan''s potential was absolutely very strong!


    At this time, Yang Wenmiao''s gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan once more. This person''s threat seemed to be even greater than Tang Fan''s!


    Yang Wenmiao never expected that he would actually encounter so many rising stars this competition, making him feel pressure deeply.


    But in his heart, a soaring fighting intent was also ablaze.


    ...


    Before the competition, no one would have thought that the second day of the competition would already progress to a white-hot stage too.


    The originally obscure Ye Yuan and Tang Fan displayed their talents, becoming everyone''s focal point.


    Although Tang Fan was defeated, he did not lose the opportunity to advance. Without any doubt, there was no problem at all with him obtaining an advancement quota.


    While Ye Yuan, after he defeated four Seventh Level Boundless Realms in a row neat and tidily, nobody else dared to go up and challenge him.


    With this, there were two of the six platforms which became very deserted.


    One was Yang Wenmiao''s, the other was Ye Yuan''s.


    After Yang Wenmiao defeated Tang Fan, everyone reckoned that no one would go and challenge him anymore.


    While at this time, there was already no one who dared to doubt Ye Yuan''s strength as well.


    This advancement quota, Ye Yuan nailed it!


    But what made everyone surprised was that after Tang Fan was defeated at Yang Wenmiao''s side, he did not choose to occupy a platform on the third day''s competition. Tang Fan directly challenged Ye Yuan!

 780 Dao of Fast-Slow

    Tang Fan stood opposite Ye Yuan, but he had a solemn expression on his face.


    "You''re very strong. But I''ll defeat you!" Tang Fan said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You''re very strong too. But you won''t have a chance to beat me."


    "Heh, how would you know without fighting?" Tang Fan said.


    Without much nonsense, Tang Fan''s figure moved explosively. Countless sword images instantly besieged Ye Yuan.


    Tang Fan''s quick-sword was fast until it made people feel asphyxiated.


    His sword art completely gave up on technique, just for the sake of pursuing the extremities of speed.


    Each sword was without any flashiness. The angle of striking with the sword, strength, everything and all of it was all in order to pursue speed.


    Yet, this sword-speed of myriad swords in an instant did not even touch the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves!


    "T-Too terrifying! This Ye Yuan''s strength is simply daunting until it makes people despair!"


    "Yang Wenmiao''s sword intent is grand and boundless. But his speed can''t keep up with Tang Fan. If not for him suppressing Tang Fan on cultivation realm, how the result would be would really be hard to say. But Ye Yuan, practically can''t even sense his essence energy undulations, but Tang Fan can''t even touch the corners of his sleeves!"


    "That also means that Ye Yuan is relying entirely on movement technique to avoid Tang Fan''s sword! Just how fast is that movement technique of his?"


    Without any doubt, this kind of quick-swords of Tang Fan''s was very hard to crack. Even if his strength was just a bit worse, it could not be avoided by ordinary people either.


    But Ye Yuan evaded each sword perfectly!


    He did not even unleash a single move until now.


    All of a sudden, Tang Fan withdrew his sword and stood there, his stubborn face filled with defeat.


    This sense of defeat was even more intense than him losing to Yang Wenmiao yesterday.


    Because Tang Fan could sense that if his cultivation realm was the same as Yang Wenmiao, he absolutely had the strength to brave it out with him.


    Which was also to say that his comprehensions in sword intent was at least not inferior to Yang Wenmiao.


    Yet, facing Ye Yuan''s movement technique with no weakness to exploit, he could not find any way at all.


    He already strove with all his might, but still could not catch up to Ye Yuan''s figure.


    In other words, he was fast, but Ye Yuan was even faster than him!


    Tang Fan giving up everything was in order to pursue the word, ''fast.'' If he lost to another person in the word, ''fast,'' then he really lost.


    "I �� I lost!"


    The stubbornness on Tang Fan''s face was all gone. What remained was intense unwillingness.


    He cultivated the quick-sword. There had never been anyone faster than his sword before.


    But today, this merely Divine Traversing Realm youth actually utterly suppressed him by a level.


    Furthermore, Tang Fan could sense that Ye Yuan seemed to still have a great deal of strength leftover.


    Under such circumstances, the sense of defeat was extremely intense.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Myriad things under the heaven are all Yin and Yang complementing mutually. The extreme of Yang is Yin, the extreme of fast is slow. You pursue speed blindly. Have you ever thought of letting the sword become a little slower? Maybe when you understand the Dao of Fast-Slow, it will make your quick-sword even faster!"


    Tang Fan''s entire body trembled. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually uttered such words.


    Yes, cultivating until now, all of his thoughts were placed on how to make his sword faster. But he had never thought about making his sword a little slower.


    Make quick-sword slow down, was that still called quick-sword?


    However, Yin was born from extreme Yan, slow was born from extreme speed.


    Were the extremes of speed slow or not?


    Tang Fan''s comprehension towards quick-sword was extremely profound and knew that the slow Ye Yuan was talking about was not slow in its true sense, but another type of realm!


    That was the realm of viewing the mountain as not a mountain, looking at water as not water!


    If he were able to comprehend this realm, his quick-sword would definitely advance a step further.


    Talking about it was easy, but to comprehend this ''slow'' word, was exceedingly difficult.


    But Ye Yuan''s word gave him a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the bright moon. It was just like a ray of light in the dark night, pointing the direction for Tang Fan to advance!


    Tang Fan suddenly clasped his hands and said, "Although Brother Ye''s age is young, your horizons are exceptionally high! The words just now, this Tang benefited endlessly. This battle, this Tang is utterly convinced by my defeat from the bottom of my heart! Today''s grace, this Tang has remembered it!"


    Finished talking, Tang Fan turned right around and went down the platform, vanishing in the crowd.


    When Pei Wenqiang saw this scene, he suddenly recalled what Ye Yuan said before, the words about wanting to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley.


    Those words sounded very laughable to him at that time. But recalling them now, it seemed like Ye Yuan �� really had that hint of chance!


    Up until now, seems like apart from Yang Wenmiao, there was already no one able to beat Ye Yuan.


    But even someone as powerful as Tang Fan was still unable to force out Ye Yuan''s true strength!


    If comparing Ye Yuan and Yang Wenmiao, taking Tang Fan as reference in-between, seems like Ye Yuan won more easily.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s true strength was still above Yang Wenmiao?


    Pei Wenqiang drew a cold breath. Before this, he did not even dare to think about it.


    But now, seemed like this guess was very likely!


    If not for Peng Yan humiliating Xiang Hao like that previously, who knows if Ye Yuan would go up to challenge Yang Wenmiao or not.


    However, this was already not important.


    Ye Yuan''s strength would be displayed when he entered the grand finals!


    On Wu Jianqing''s side, Peng Yan was long glaring like a ravening tiger already.


    Previously, when he saw Tang Fan go up to challenge Ye Yuan, he was even secretly rejoicing for a bit.


    He felt that with Tang Fan''s strength, Ye Yuan definitely could not win. Even if Ye Yuan really could win, he would have tremendous exhaustion too.


    That way, he could completely wreck Ye Yuan if he went up to the arena.


    But now that the match was over, Ye Yuan practically did not have any expenditure at all.


    This kind of strength truly daunted him at the sight of it a little.


    "Peng Yan, give up! This boy''s strength is likely not what you''re able to deal with! You go and challenge another person. Ensure an advancement spot. Don''t go and look for trouble anymore," Wu Jianqing said with a solemn face.


    Peng Yan was extremely unresigned when he heard that, but in the end, he nodded his head helplessly.


    However, when Peng Yan was planning to go up and challenge another person, Xiang Hao ridiculed, "Yo, didn''t you talk big yesterday about wanting to teach Ye Yuan a lesson? Why, this direction that you''re heading doesn''t seem to be Ye Yuan''s platform!"


    Xiang Hao kept a constant eye on the happenings at Peng Yan''s side. Therefore, Peng Yan''s behavior was taken fully into his sights.


    Peng Yan''s entire body trembled, his gaze glaring fiercely at Xiang Hao, wishing to swallow Xiang Hao alive.


    Xiang Hao also stared right back. Either way, fighting was forbidden at this competition area. Would Peng Yan dare to kill him?


    Ye Yuan already smacked his face until such an extent. If he did not make use of it properly, how would he dispel the hatred in his heart?


    "Don''t get angry. That punk is deliberately triggering you. Calm down, apart from Yang Wenmiao and Ye Yuan, there are still many strong opponents. You have to handle the situation carefully!" Wu Jianqing said.


    Peng Yan sucked in a breath deeply, nodded his head, and said, "Rest assured, City Lord. This quota, I''ll definitely take it!"


    "Oh wow, really don''t have guts to challenge Ye Yuan! Next time, remember, don''t have the strength, don''t talk so big! So as to avoid smacking your own face! Hahaha!"


    Toward Xiang Hao''s actions, Pei Wenqiang felt very liberated too.


    Of course, what made him even more pleased was still Ye Yuan obtaining a quota to advance to the grand finals!


    Just as Ye Yuan said back then, making his face feel boundless honor.

 781 Harsh Situation

    With Peng Yan''s strength, taking down an arena lord was naturally something effortless.


    The third day of defending the platform, Peng Yan maintained his position and won 20 matches in a row.


    Although Peng Yan''s strength was formidable, it was still not formidable to the extent that no one dared to challenge him.


    Those Seventh Level Boundless Realms, even some Sixth Level Boundless Realms, would all go up and challenge him.


    It was just that Peng Yan never would have dreamed that the first match on the fourth day, Tang Fan actually came up to challenge him immediately, and then Tang Fan blasted him down the platform cleanly.


    Furthermore, through a night''s rest and rehabilitation, Tang Fan seemed to be even stronger than yesterday!


    After the fourth day, Yang Wenmiao and Ye Yuan directly obtained advancement quotas because no one dared to challenge them anymore.


    After Tang Fan kicked Peng Yan, likewise, no one dared to go up the stage again. Him obtaining a spot was just a matter of time.


    Based on this, there were only three quotas left.


    Starting from the fifth day, a series of intense scrambling battles unfolded on these three arenas.


    In the end, Peng Yan still relied on his powerful strength and obtained a quota.


    The fifth quota was seized by another Ye City''s Seventh Level Boundless genius in the end.


    But the sixth quota was what everyone did not expect. Through three to four days of fighting, Mu Yun actually completed 100 consecutive wins, obtaining the final quota!


    This made Pei Wenqiang incredibly thrilled.


    These six spots, Ancient Opulence City actually occupied two. This was what he did not expect at all before coming.


    He brought six people, and not a single one was at the Seventh Level Boundless Realm. This kind of strength was at the very most only able to rank in the mid-range position. Even striving for a quota was not possible.


    After all, this kind of selection competition, there were too many experts.


    But who knew that not only did his people obtain a quota, it was two!


    This kind of unexpected harvest made him feel that happiness came too sudden.


    After Mu Yun obtained the quota, Pei Wenqiang even ran in front of Wu Jianqing and showed off for a bit. Looking at that horse face of Wu Jianqing, Pei Wenqiang was incomparably exhilarated in his heart.


    Following the six quotas being decided, Ye City''s division competition zone''s competition also finally wrapped up satisfactorily.


    The next day, City Lord Yang Sen summoned the six people who advanced this time.


    The moment Yang Sen saw Pei Wenqiang, he could not help laughing loudly as he patted his shoulders and said, "Oh, Wenqiang, I really couldn''t tell that you actually have the potential to be a good judge of talent! Your Ancient Opulence City can really be said to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat this time!"


    Pei Wenqiang smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. Haha, just luck, just luck!"


    Yang Sen waved his hand and said, "Don''t need to be modest, Wenqiang! Ye City''s competition''s news this time, I''ve already notified the Pei Family. The Pei Family is very pleased with your performance this time. It''s said that they will bestow a Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill to you!"


    The Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill was a medicinal pill to help Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists break through cultivation realms. It was very valuable in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Without a certain status, there was no way to get it at all.


    His own status was not very high, but Pei Wenqiang had an elder brother who was a holy son. Otherwise, he would also not be assigned outside to be a city lord.


    This Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill was an extremely valuable medicinal pill even to Pei Kun, let alone Pei Wenqiang.


    When Pei Wenqiang heard this, he said agitatedly, "Are your words true, milord?"


    Yang Sen nodded and said, "If not for definite news, how would I dare to open my mouth easily? Most likely, the Pei Family''s envoy is already on their way at present. You are also aware that the holy land has numerous factions. The contest for these quotas is naturally very intense too. You were able to seize two spots all at once; it naturally helps to gain a great deal of face for the Pei Family. Other than the Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill, the merit points awarded this time definitely won''t meager too."


    Pei Wenqiang was overjoyed as he said, "Many thanks for Your Excellency''s news!"


    Yang Sen waved his hand and said, "Thanking me for what? I''m only just informing you a little in advance. Obtaining this reward is you yourself discovering talents with discerning eyes; i has nothing to do with me."


    By the side, Wu Jianqing''s face was already livid, green with envy for some time inwardly.


    Wu Jianqing wished to obtain a Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill even in his dreams. But this medicinal pill was in too high demand. The family clan could not possibly award it at all.


    He didn''t expect that Pei Wenqiang this guy gained a new lease on life and actually obtained the Pei Family''s bestowal!


    With Yang Sen''s status, saying in front of so many people, this matter was basically set in stone already. How could he, Wu Jianqing, not be envious?


    No idea what bullshit luck Pei Wenqiang this guy had, to actually be able to find a freak like Ye Yuan.


    After finishing the small talk with Pei Wenqiang, Yang Sen said to the six people who advanced with a stern countenance, "Since the six of you have already stood out from the masses, as Ye City''s division competition zone''s organizer, I naturally have to congratulate all of you. But what I want to warn everybody is that now is still not the time to be happy. Because the cruelty of the grand finals will surpass your imaginations! I''ve already received some news; the genius martial artists who entered the grand finals this time, just the Ninth Level Boundless and above have 20 over people! While among the six of you, the highest is merely Eighth Level Boundless. Of course, cultivation realm doesn''t completely represent strength. But you guys should be clearer than me that to be able to reach Ninth Level Boundless Realm at this age, not one of them is a mediocre person!"


    Hearing Yang Sen''s words, everyone''s joy from having just advanced was immediately all gone.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, the others all had very solemn expressions. Clearly, they sensed tremendous pressure. Yang Wenmiao was no exception either.


    Actually, these people had long had mental preparations regarding the grand finals'' brutality.


    But they absolutely never expected that the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time would actually be brutal to such a degree!


    A total of 60 people, there were actually 20 over Ninth Level Boundless Realms. What kind of concept was this?


    Furthermore, who could guarantee that those Eighth Level Boundless, Seventh Level Boundless, even among the Sixth Level Boundless, and Fifth Level Boundless Realms did not have freaks like Tang Fan and Ye Yuan?


    It was not that no one dares not to guarantee this, but definitely there will be those freaks!


    The allure of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley was too great. Even Ye Yuan, a former Alchemy Emperor powerhouse, was moved, let alone the others?


    Therefore, this time, those young geniuses who were not willing to reveal their edge all popped out all at once.


    According to Yang Sen''s way of saying things, dark horses like Ye Yuan and Tang Fan were seen everywhere this time.


    Many young geniuses who were unknown before this all emerged this time.


    Four or five people even poured out all at once in some division competition zones. Those geniuses who were originally viewed favorably were instead eliminated one by one!


    This kind of line-up seriously made them unable to be happy.


    Since they entered the grand finals, no a single person did not wish to get a good ranking.


    In order to attract these geniuses to enter the holy land, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land also poured in extensive capital this time, bleeding their reserve. The top ten young geniuses would obtain incomparably generous cultivation resources.


    Under this kind of temptation, few would be unmoved.


    These young geniuses'' strengths were all at roughly the same rank. The final battle situation would surely be very intense, even to the extent of brutal.


    Under such circumstances, wanting to enter the top ten was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Yang Sen stated the risks and benefits of the grand finals'' harshness and swept across the six people''s faces, but he discovered that Ye Yuan was very composed from start to finish. He could not resist asking and said, "Ye Yuan, looking at you, seems like you''re not very worried?"

 782 Crimson Afterglow Holy Land

    Ye Yuan did not think that Yang Sen would speak up and ask him. He replied with a smile, "Rather than worry about this, may as well make the best use of this one month''s time to cultivate a bit more. Everyone''s strength is roughly similar. Every increase in strength is naturally an increase in chances of victory."


    Yang Sen was stunned. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually say such words.


    Thinking carefully, it seemed like it really was that case.


    If the strength difference was too great, a month''s time naturally did not have much use.


    But these 60 people''s strength clearly did not have a great disparity. Whoever won or lost, either was possible.


    Under such circumstances, a month''s time, one could do many things.


    Ye Yuan''s words made the other five people''s state of mind relax considerably. But the sense of urgency rose.


    If not for Yang Sen being present, they wished that they could go and enter a retreat right away.


    Yang Sen looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. This youth seemed to have a level-headedness that was disproportionate to his age.


    "Ye Yuan, I saw that when you were defending the arena previously, seemed like you still had some strength to spare. I wonder if you have any goal entering the grand finals this time?" Yang Sen asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak. But Pei Wenqiang interjected when he saw the situation, "I know a little about this. Ye Yuan''s goal is that spot to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone all sucked in a cold breath. Wasn''t this goal a little too big?


    Hearing it, it just sounded somewhat inconceivable.


    But Yang Sen shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Young people having strength, having goals, are a good thing. But reaching beyond one''s grasp, one will probably return in disappointment in the end!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Your Excellency, if there''s nothing else, I''ll go back first to cultivate."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored the dumbfounded looking people, turned right around, and went out.


    "Stop right there! You actually dare to be disrespectful toward Lord Yang! I think that you''re tired of living!" Wu Jianqing finally seized the opportunity to explode.


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "Our Lord Yang says that I''m reaching beyond my reach, so I''m cultivating a while more in a down-to-earth manner. How did it become disrespect towards Lord Yang?"


    "You! Twisting logic! With the likes of your bit of strength and you also dare to dream about entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley, simply daydreaming in broad daylight!"


    "Heh, whatever you say. This little lord is still in a hurry to cultivate, see you later!"


    Ye Yuan really left the City Lord Manor after he finished talking.


    Yang Wenmiao and the rest actually could hardly wait long ago already. Seeing Ye Yuan leave, Yang Wenmiao clasped his hands towards Yang Sen and said, "Father, this child has to cultivate too. I''ll take my leave first."


    Yang Sen hesitated slightly for a bit, but he still nodded and said, "I see that you guys can''t seem to stay anymore either. Go on then."


    Yang Wenmiao and the rest were like receiving amnesty, immediately going back to enter closed-seclusion.


    After everyone left, Yang Sen stopped Pei Wenqiang and asked, "Ye Yuan really has this strength?"


    Pei Wenqiang thought for a while and said, "Actually, before coming here, I also thought that he was joking. But now, I''m somewhat having hopes for him. Perhaps the strength he explodes with during the competition will give us a great shock!"


    ...


    Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was established on top of a spirit vein. The essence energy was extremely abundant.


    Even though the present Crimson Afterglow Holy Land already declined, this place was an extremely flourishing land too.


    People came and went, endless streams of horses and carriages; it was a dignified large-scale city.


    The population in the holy land was not as many as a large city such as Ye City. But the scale was quite a bit larger. Moreover, the martial artists'' strengths were also not what those large cities were able to compare too.


    A month''s time passed in a twinkle. Ye Yuan''s group of six who advanced followed Yang Sen into the holy land.


    Ye Yuan was born in a super holy land and did not have much feeling towards this kind of small-scale holy lands.


    Rather, other than Yang Sen, it was the others'' first time entering the holy land. They were filled with curiosity towards this place.


    The holy land''s reserve strength was mostly Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. They actually did not place much importance on Boundless Realms.


    Organizing this Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time was an unprecedented occasion.


    "The holy land''s factions are complex and intricate. This period of time, you all better be a little more careful. Don''t offend people, and try to have self-awareness. Of course, as long as you guys are able to enter the top ten, you''d have the qualifications to enter the holy temple. At that time, these forces naturally won''t dare to offend you all," Yang Sen voiced out to remind when he saw everyone''s curious baby looks.


    Yang Sen was born in the holy land and had witnessed before countless geniuses. He naturally knew that these young men were arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. There would even be an inclination towards attacking at a word of disagreement.


    However, with the backgrounds of these people before his eyes, they could not afford to offend some of the holy land''s major factions at all.


    One had to know that although the holy land''s Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists were not as many as the hair on an ox, hundreds definitely existed.


    And behind these people, mostly all were Phaseless Realm powerhouses.


    Phaseless Realm powerhouses, they were the holy land''s mid-level pillars!


    If one offended Phaseless Realm martial artists, the city lords behind these few people could not help them.


    Of course, Yang Sen himself was a Phaseless Realm powerhouse too. It was just that the factions inside this holy land, there were many he could not afford to offend.


    The group was walking when two people came from in front.


    "Younger Brother Yang Sen! How have you been?"


    The one in front was an elderly man who greeted Yang Sen immediately, but his eyes glanced towards Ye Yuan.


    But the other person was Ye Yuan''s old acquaintance. It was precisely Zhao Qian.


    Yang Sen was clearly very surprised by the old man''s arrival and hurriedly saluted as he said, "I''ve seen, Chairman Jiao!"


    Chairman Jiao chuckled and said, "Haha, I heard that Younger Brother Yang acquired several fine talents this time. This Jiao specially came to take a look. The genius martial artists your Ye City''s division competition zone selected this time should be these few people, right? Haha, indeed fine men with striking appearances!"


    He said that it was to come to take a look at all the martial artists. But when Yang Sen saw Chairman Jiao''s eyes, how could he still not know that he was here specifically for Ye Yuan?


    Except, he was a little alarmed inwardly. A puny little Divine Traversing Realm boy could actually trouble the Meteor Trading Company''s Crimson Afterglow Branch''s Lord Chairman to personally come out and welcome.


    Looks like this Ye Yuan''s identity was indeed not that simple!


    Although the Meteor Trading Company''s strength declined somewhat in these recent few years, it was a true-blue Rank One Holy Land; it was absolutely not what their kind of small holy land could contend with.


    A random Second Level Dao Profound powerhouse that they send out could destroy the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Of course, the holy lands where trading firms were located at always had harmony as a virtue. Unless there were no other choices, they would not easily go to war.


    Doing business, reputation was the most important.


    Exterminating people''s holy land at the drop of a hat was completely a thing that harmed others without benefits.


    This Chairman Jiao was the Meteor Trading Company''s person in charge of the Crimson Afterglow Branch. To actually come personally to welcome, this was absolutely a very odd matter.


    He heard that this Ye Yuan was just an ascender. How was it possible to become associated with such a major figure?


    But shock was shock, face still had to be given to Chairman Jiao.


    "Chairman Jiao is too kind!" Yang Sen said.


    Chairman Jiao said smilingly, "Younger Brother Yang, Our Meteor Trading Company has some business dealings with this Little Brother Ye Yuan. Just nice then; our Crimson Afterglow Branch is looking for him to discuss some things, so we dropped by. I hope that Younger Brother Yang won''t take offense."


    Yang Sen thought to himself that it was indeed so. He said verbally, "Dare not, dare not!"

 783 Several Intel

    "This old man, Jiao Ting, is the Meteor Trading Company''s Crimson Afterglow Branch''s Chairman. Taking the liberty of inviting Master Ye here this time is that we have a business deal that we wish to discuss with you."


    As the person in charge of the Meteor Trading Company, Jiao Ting''s tone was surprisingly very courteous toward Ye Yuan.


    If the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s people saw Jiao Ting being so polite to Ye Yuan, they would definitely receive a huge shock!


    Although Jiao Ting''s strength was not as strong as the Holy Lord''s, his status was not the slightest bit inferior to the Holy Lord.


    A heavyweight-class figure like this was actually so polite to a Divine Traversing Realm youth. It would make people unbelievably shocked.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Jiao Ting, then looked at the Zhao Qian who was silent by the side, and said smilingly, "You guys are here for the pill formulas, right? Looks like, your Meteor Trading Company indeed has some difficulties striding forward right now!"


    Jiao Ting was alarmed inwardly when he heard that and could not help looking over towards Zhao Qian in astonishment. For a moment, he actually did not know how he should answer.


    He had long heard Zhao Qian say before that Ye Yuan was formidable. But this one exchange, he candidly admitted defeat straightaway.


    Not only did Ye Yuan guess his intentions of coming, he actually even guessed the Meteor Trading Company''s present predicament!


    Just what was this boy''s head made out of?


    "I''m not hiding from Mister Ye; our Meteor Trading Company has indeed encountered an unprecedented dilemma. I know that this request is a little demanding, but your pill formulas are indeed very important to us right now!" Zhao Qian suddenly opened her mouth and said.


    Finished talking, Zhao Qian looked at Ye Yuan rather nervously, seemingly awaiting his sentencing.


    To Zhao Qian, this was still her first time being so obsequious to another person because of several Tier 5 pill formulas.


    Zhao Qian and Ye Yuan''s collaboration was currently restricted to the Ancient Opulence City. Other places were not permitted to sell the medicinal pills Ye Yuan refined.


    Therefore, even though these medicinal pills earned massive amounts, it was only specific to the Ancient Opulence City area.


    To a leviathan like the Meteor Trading Company, it did not have the slightest benefit at all.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Qian and suddenly asked, "What''s your relationship with Zhao Xingchen?"


    Zhao Qian was stunned, immediately shaking her head, saying, "Mister Ye is worrying too much. How can Qian-er possibly have any association with Lord Head Chairman?"


    She said that verbally, but Zhao Qian was incomparably shocked in her heart.


    How did Ye Yuan, an ascender, know the Head Chairman''s name? Could it be that Ye Yuan really had some relationship with the Meteor Trading Company?


    Zhao Xingchen this name was not what the average martial artist could know.


    Even a holy land''s holy lord might not have the qualifications to know this name.


    What made her even more astounded was that Ye Yuan actually guessed her relationship with Zhao Xingchen!


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth when he heard that and said, "Doesn''t even have a bit of sincerity. Why did you guys still come and find me to discuss what cooperation? You also know that wanting the pill formulas is somewhat demanding. Then you better save your breath!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan was about to leave.


    Zhao Qian panicked when she heard that and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! I �� Zhao Xingchen �� is my father!"


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised look, saying with a smile, "Heh, the exalted Head Chairman''s daughter would actually come to such a small holy land like Crimson Afterglow personally. I''m somewhat curious; what on earth happened to your Meteor Trading Company!"


    Zhao Qian bit her lips and said, "You �� How do you know about my relationship with my father? Also, how did you know that our Meteor Trading Company encountered a dilemma?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Isn''t that simple? Even though you look exactly like a junior the entire time by Chairman Jiao''s side, the eyes he looks at you with are not right; he seemingly need to seek your opinion for everything. As for your predicament, a place that the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company can send out an Alchemy Saint, but you guys actually can''t even send out an Alchemy Saint. Isn''t this still obvious? Furthermore, even if my pill formulas can earn a lot of money, they are just Tier 5 pill formulas after all. To a Rank One Holy Land like you all, it''s actually not considered much. But the things that you guys showed are too disparate from your status."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Jiao Ting was unbelievably shocked at the sides.


    This boy''s mind was also meticulous, to actually perceive so many things from such little details.


    But Zhao Qian heaved a sigh and said, "I knew that it can''t hide from Mister Ye!"


    "Huhu, I didn''t know that Zhao Xingchen had such a pretty daughter. But with your status, why would you come to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land this sort of place?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Zhao Qian shot Ye Yuan a glare, but she still answered, "The Meteor Trading Company encountered an unprecedented crisis. With no choice, the trading company dispatched elite forces to the various regions, wanting to turn the decline around. And my mission was the White Valiant Region and the nearby few regions. I''d just arrived at the White Valiant Region not long. Going to Ancient Opulence City was only to understand the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s various cities'' situation a little, so as to find countermeasures. But I didn''t think that I would happen to run into you."


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Such a huge crisis actually erupted in the Meteor Trading Company? Could something have happened to Zhao Xingchen?"


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, Zhao Xingchen was a very capable person.


    He established the Meteor Trading Company single-handedly and developed it to become a titan of the business world comparable to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company. His methods could be imagined.


    Logically speaking, the Meteor Trading Company would not have such a large-scale defeat occur. Unless some problems happened to the trading company''s upper echelons.


    "Father �� Father went missing!" Zhao Qian said as a crystalline teardrop fell from the corners of her eye.


    "What?! Head Chairman he �� he went missing?"


    Zhao Qian''s words were akin to a bolt out of the blue, stunning Jiao Ting dumbfounded directly.


    A Rank One Holy Land''s holy lord went missing. This implication was too great. Even if Zhao Qian had come to the White Valiant Region for a very long time already, she had never told this matter to the various trading company''s officers in charge before.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said slowly, "So that''s how it is! Alright then, the pill formulas can be given to you. But I''ll only give you all a single type of medicinal pill''s formula. Furthermore �� I have a condition."


    "What condition?"


    Not getting all of the pill formulas, Zhao Qian was somewhat disappointed. But even if there was only one type of medicinal pill, it was also sufficient to make her incredibly agitated.


    Releasing any one type among these medicinal pills would cause a tremendous impact to the scene of conventional medicinal pills. It could be said to be a one-time alchemy world''s revolution!


    So even if it was only one type of pill formula, the profits were huge too.


    Zhao Qian did not expect that Ye Yuan actually agreed so straightforwardly.


    "This medicinal pill is absolutely not permitted to be sold within the boundaries of a super holy land within five years. Otherwise, I''ll likewise sell the pill formula to other trading companies. I think that they will be interested," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Although the chances of Ji Canglan recognizing was very small, Ye Yuan still had to guard against him.


    Of course, along with the passing of time, this kind of medicinal pills would eventually enter Ji Canglan''s field of vision. It was just that at that time, Ye Yuan should already have sufficient strength to protect himself.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that if Ji Canglan was really able to connect it to him through these few types of medicinal pills.


    Zhao Qian was somewhat uncertain, but she still nodded her head and said, "Fine, I promise you! As for the price �� We''ll satisfy you!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I don''t want money. I want to buy some intel!"

 784 Heavens Secret Tower

    "Some intel?"


    Zhao Qian''s brows furrowed slightly, and she gave Jiao Ting a look, signaling for him to withdraw.


    Although Jiao Ting''s cultivation realm was high, at present, there was clearly no right for him to speak already.


    One had to know that even if Ye Yuan just sold one pill formula, that was absolutely a sky-high price too.


    But Ye Yuan did not want anything and just wanted to buy some intel. It could be seen how valuable they were!


    A Rank One Holy Land force like the Meteor Trading Company, their branches could be found all over the Divine Realm. Information was naturally something they were very well-informed of.


    Therefore, the scope they operated was not just things like medicinal pills and weapons, but it also included intel.


    And these intel, according to the difficulty of acquiring, the prices were naturally not the same either.


    Ye Yuan would rather not take the reward and inquire about information. It was definitely extremely valuable information.


    "That''s right. Furthermore, you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to absolutely not divulge the matter of me inquiring about intel from you today!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Zhao Qian''s expression was slightly apprehensive and knew that this medicinal pill was not easy to get.


    But Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills were too important to the Meteor Trading Company. She did not hesitate much and swore a Heavenly Dao Oath very quickly. She then said to Ye Yuan, "Ask away. If it''s information I know, I can answer you right now. If I don''t know, you''ll probably have to wait for a few days."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, "I want information about the Medicine King Hall. The more detailed, the better!"


    Zhao Qian''s gaze sharpened and she could not help re-sizing Ye Yuan up. "What''s your relationship with the Medicine King Hall?"


    "We''re undergoing a transaction right now. It''s me asking you questions, not you asking me! According to your rules, only answer questions, and not raise questions!"


    Mentioning the Medicine King Hall, Ye Yuan''s entire being became cold. Zhao Qian by the side actually felt a chill somewhat run down her spine.


    The Medicine King Hall was already a taboo in the Divine Realm. Ordinary people all kept a respectful distance away.


    Now, a puny little Divine Traversing Realm was actually interested in the Medicine King Hall''s information. This inevitably made Zhao Qian produce conjectures about Ye Yuan''s identity.


    But Ye Yuan''s words reminded Zhao Qian that no matter how curious she was, she should not ask this kind of questions either.


    This violated a great taboo!


    If it were another person, they might even turn hostile on the spot, then propagate everywhere that the Meteor Trading Company did not adhere to the rules of the business.


    Zhao Qian recollected her thoughts and sucked in a deep breath, saying slowly, "The Medicine King Hall had a dramatic change take place over ten years ago. The Ji father and son both perished. Ji Zhengyang''s eldest disciple inherited the Medicine King Hall and became the new Hall Lord. Ever since then, the Medicine King Hall sealed off all information and chased all of the outside forces out of the holy land, practically sealing off themselves completely from the outside world."


    Ye Yuan frowned when he heard that and said, "Which is also to say that your Meteor Trading Company doesn''t know about the Medicine King Hall''s intel at all?"


    Zhao Qian shook her head and said, "You''re also aware, the Meteor Trading Company is just a Rank One Holy Land. It''s on an entirely different level from the Medicine King Hall. Such a colossal titan sealing off all information, we have no way of infiltrating inside at all. If you really wish to inquire about the Medicine King Hall''s information, probably only the Heaven''s Secret Tower has this ability. Now, in the entire Divine Realm, apart from the Heaven''s Secret Tower, probably the Medicine King Hall is the most mysterious. Of course, regarding some side news about the Meteor Trading Company, we''re still aware of them."


    Ye Yuan fell silent. Regarding these information that Zhao Qian told him, it was within his expectations. But it was also outside of his expectations.


    The thing within expectations was that the Meteor Trading Company was likely unable to inquire about some core information.


    The thing outside of expectations was that he did not know why Ji Canglan wanted to seal off all information about the holy land.


    Ji Canglan successfully usurping the throne should be precisely the time he was illustrious, free and unfettered. But he lived a life isolated from the world. What medicine was he selling in his gourd?


    "Talk about it," Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Zhao Qian said, "The Medicine King Hall''s predecessor Hall Lord, Ji Zhengyang, and his son, Ji Qingyun, were both the pinnacle-most peak Alchemy Emperor powerhouses in the current age. Quite a number of Divine King experts in the Divine Realm all received their grace before. Among them included quite a number among the Ten Great Divine Kings! After their father and son pair passed away, there were quite a number of Divine King experts who all paid a visit, wanting an explanation before. Legend has it that the Spirit Bristle Divine King personally went to find the new hall lord, Ji Canglan, but he turned back halfway. As for specific reasons, it was unknown."


    "Second, after the Ji father and son passed away, Ji Canglan did not exterminate everyone ruthlessly, but he let out a batch of people. It was said that these people were all people with close ties to the father and son pair. But after these people came out, they also vanished. Our trading company later attempted to find these people, but we did not find a single one. Of course, this is also because our Meteor Trading Company''s strength is too weak. I believe if it''s the Heaven''s Secret Tower, they should be able to find."


    "Third, eight years ago, the Medicine King Hall once took action and annihilated several major factions. Naturally, the one thing which shocked the Divine Realm most of all was that they made a move and destroyed a quasi-super holy land, the Bloodrain Holy Land, slaughtering the Bloodrain Holy Land''s Divine King powerhouses clean, astounding the Divine Realm! After exterminating these major forces, the Medicine King Hall lowered their banners and muffled their drums, and they did not take action anymore again either. As for the reason they took action, the Medicine King Hall never had mentioned it. Nobody dared to ask either."


    Ye Yuan''s face revealed a solemn expression!


    Annihilating a quasi-super holy land with a wave of a hand, the Medicine King Hall''s strength post-Ji Zhengyang''s era did not decrease, but it had increased instead!


    Ye Yuan truly could not imagine how Ji Canglan did this.


    Looks like wanting to kill Ji Canglan was even harder than imagined!


    "Then do you know what strength Ji Canglan is at right now?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Zhao Qian shook her head and said, "People who have seen him take action before are all dead! But it can be certain that his present strength is definitely much stronger than in the past! Now, in the Divine Realm, there''s a guess that Ji Canglan''s current strength is likely not beneath the Ten Great Divine Kings already!"


    Ten Great Divine Kings was the Divine Realm''s benchmark quality figure.


    These Ten Great Divine Kings were not self-proclaimed but given out by the Divine Realm''s most mysterious power, the Heaven''s Secret Tower.


    Back then, when they gave out this Ten Great Divine Kings title, the Divine Realm was filled with outrage and questioning voices.


    Many divine kings were unconvinced and went to find these Ten Great Divine Kings to fight one-on-one.


    But the final result also affirmed the might of the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s information system!


    The positions of the Ten Great Divine Kings, no one was able to shake them!


    Regardless of how formidable the opponents'' strength was!


    They used countless victories to affirm the might of their own strength, and also verified the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s might!


    Not only did the Heaven''s Secret Tower give out these Ten Great Divine Kings titles, they even issued the Ten Great Divine Kings power ranking.


    Of course, just who was strong or weak among these Ten Great Divine Kings, nobody knew at all.


    They had never competed openly among themselves before, and there was also nobody who expressed refusal to concede to this ranking.


    Over the course of time, the reputation of the Ten Great Divine Kings was gradually accepted by everyone in the Divine Realm.


    If Ji Canglan''s strength was already comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings, that was absolutely a very troublesome matter.


    This level of a powerhouse was on completely different levels from ordinary divine kings.


    Unless Ye Yuan could break through to the Divine King Realm, wanting to kill Ji Canglan was absolutely out of the question!

 785 Heavens Destiny Auction

    Due to there being no Deity Realm powerhouses, Divine King experts were virtually the Divine Realm''s apex existences.


    It was just that between divine kings and divine kings, there was similarly a huge disparity.


    Take the Spirit Bristle Divine King for example, his strength was sufficient to instantly kill four or five ordinary divine kings.


    Even if he was besieged by numerous divine kings, he also had sufficient assurance to escape alive.


    Wanting to kill the Ten Great Divine Kings was virtually a mission impossible to complete.


    If Ji Canglan''s strength were really able to reach that sort of degree, the difficulty of Ye Yuan wanting to kill him would be too great.


    Ji Canglan was not just his strength alone being formidable; behind him even stood the entire Medicine King Hall.


    To be able to lock down the Medicine King Hall''s news so thoroughly, Ji Canglan''s control over the Medicine King Hall had definitely reached a degree unimaginable by the average person already.


    After getting a second life, Ye Yuan had always been pleased with the progress of his own strength.


    But looking at it now, this vengeance did not seem to be easy to avenge.


    Putting aside other things, just talking about strength reaching the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings, it was an extremely difficult thing.


    One had to know that these Ten Great Divine Kings, each one of them grasped several supreme true intents.


    While Ye Yuan only grasped one supreme true intent right now.


    The disparity in-between this was not just a tiny bit!


    Talking about supreme true intent was easy. To really comprehend was too difficult, too difficult.


    The Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, those gathered were all one-in-ten-thousand geniuses. But among them, apart from Ye Yuan, who else was able to comprehend a supreme true intent?


    "Fine. If your Meteor Trading Company still have other information related to the Medicine King Hall, send them over to me. Additionally, help me keep an eye on the Medicine King Hall. Once there are any signs of disturbance, immediately notify me. I''ll decide when to give you the other pill formulas according to your information. This is the Tier 5 Essence Restoring Pill''s pill formula. On it has the method to refine this medicinal pill. Take it," said Ye Yuan and casually threw Zhao Qian a jade slip.


    Logically speaking, to be able to obtain Ye Yuan''s other medicinal pills'' formulas, this should be something deserving to be happy about. But now, Zhao Qian felt that these pill formulas were somewhat scalding to the touch.


    "If Mister Ye wants to obtain the Medicine King Hall''s accurate information, probably only finding the Heaven''s Secret Tower will work. You also know that with our Meteor Trading Company''s strength, it''s impossible to inquire very in-depth information," Zhao Qian said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s origins were unclear to begin with. Furthermore, their strength is unfathomable. God knows if they have any relation with Ji Canglan. If I really went to find them, I might be sold and not even know it! Zhao Xingchen''s daughter �� I can still trust!"


    In the past, the Medicine King Hall had collaborations with the various major trading companies. Ye Yuan still quite trusted Zhao Xingchen''s character.


    If he had to find a force to inquire for information, the Meteor Trading Company was clearly the most suitable.


    This was also the reason why he would find the Meteor Trading Company to collaborate.


    Zhao Qian listening to a snot-nosed brat calling Zhao Xingchen over and over again, no matter what, it somewhat had the taste of behaving like a senior.


    Hesitating slightly for a bit, Zhao Qian still could not refrain from asking, "I wonder, what kind of relationship �� Mister Ye and Father has?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "When the time comes, you''ll naturally know. But I didn''t expect that Zhao Xingchen actually went missing. Looks like the Divine Realm has really entered a period of trouble!"


    The current Zhao Qian was surprised and bewildered in her heart.


    She felt that the Ye Yuan in front of her seemingly became another person.


    But this Ye Yuan gave her tremendous pressure.


    Zhao Qian faintly felt like she grasped a little something, but it was just missing that tiny bit, that bit keep on slipping through her fingers.


    This sort of feeling made her go crazy.


    ...


    Ye Yuan returned to the residence, but the chambers were all deserted long ago already. Pei Wenqiang had returned to the Pei Family to report the completion of his task. He would only come back tomorrow morning.


    The others had a youth''s temperament in the end, strolling around the holy land''s various places. There were only Tang Fan and Mu Yun, these two people, seemingly waiting for Ye Yuan to come back.


    Tang Fan obtaining Ye Yuan''s guidance, just in this one month, his strength already soared by leaps and bounds.


    In between this, he even went to Ye Yuan to compete several times. But each time, it was an utter defeat.


    Tang Fan''s sword art had become faster, but it was still unable to touch Ye Yuan.


    The faster his sword art, the faster Ye Yuan''s movement technique, seemingly forever without limits.


    In this one month, the two people had a good teacher-student relationship.


    Of course, Mu Yun being able to enter the grand finals was entirely thanks to Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill. His attitude towards Ye Yuan naturally went without saying too.


    Among these six people, the three of them walked the closest.


    "Ye Yuan, you finally came back. We''ve waited a long time for you!" Mu Yun grumbled.


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "Waiting for me for what?"


    Mu Yun said rather excitedly, "We heard that the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company wants to hold an auction tonight. I heard that there are quite a few good stuff. Tang Fan and I plan to go take a look. Since there''s nothing tonight, why don''t you join in too!"


    An auction organized by the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Crimson Afterglow Branch, the level was naturally not what those cities at the lower levels could compare to. Having some good stuff during the auction was also normal.


    But with Ye Yuan''s horizons, things able to make him interested were really not many.


    However, he looked at Tang Fan''s and Mu Yun''s anticipating expression. He felt bad about denying them invitation, so he agreed.


    "Alright, go experience it then. However, going to an auction, did you guys brought enough earth essence crystals on you?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Hey, you''re also looking down on the two of us too much! Although we aren''t as wealthy as you, we''re absolutely not paupers either!" Mu Yun said with a laugh.


    It was already late right now. By the time Ye Yuan trio arrived at the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, there was already not much time remaining from the start of the auction.


    Arriving at the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, only then did Ye Yuan suddenly recall something and could not help asking the two people. He said, "You guys dragged me to this auction, but we don''t have the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s invitation. How do we go in?"


    The things being auctioned at the auction were normally all valued extremely highly. Without sufficient wealth, going in would only bend their backs.


    Those able to enter the auction were either wealthy or noble. It was naturally impossible for some random tom, dick, or harry to go in.


    Tang Fan pulled out three jade plaques like pulling a magic trick, saying smugly, "Without adequate preparations, wouldn''t coming over be losing face?"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. It looked like these two brats had some skill. The holy land level was completely not what cities could compete with. They actually used just one afternoon''s time to get three jade plaques.


    When the three people entered the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s auction venue, inside was already filled with people.


    Only now did Ye Yuan know that the jade plaques the three of them had could only sit at the most remote corner, and could not help being speechless.


    "Yo, isn''t that the great genius Ye? You guys actually came to the Heaven''s Destiny Auction too! Why is a great genius like you sitting in this out-of-the-way corner? Isn''t it a loss of dignity?"


    Ye Yuan trio had yet to take their seats when an extremely piercing voice sounded out at the side.


    Turning around to take a look, it was Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan.


    While beside Wu Jianqing, there was still a young man.

 786 Three-Lives Stone

    "En? Elder Brother Jianqing, you know them?" the young man frowned slightly and said.


    "Jiantong, didn''t you very much wanted to know who the sole Divine Traversing Realm in this competition is? It''s him!" Wu Jianqing said with a cold smile.


    The young man''s eyebrows raised up, and he said disdainfully, "I was wondering if he had three heads and six arms. Turns out that it''s also merely just like this! Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm, what can he accomplish reaching the grand finals? Looks like your Ye City''s competition zone truly has nobody! Boy, I heard that you''re very cocky. Hope that the competition this time, you and I don''t run into each other!"


    This young man called Wu Jianqing as his elder brother. He was probably a member of the Wu Family.


    But his appearance was very arrogant; it was a manner as if he was number one under the heaven, pissing people off.


    Ye Yuan played it down and said, "Is that so? I think so too, huhu."


    Wu Jiantong''s expression fell when he heard that and said with a cold smile, "Looks like you still don''t know who this Young Master is, right? A measly little Eighth Level Divine Traversing actually dares to utter this sort of big talk. Not afraid of your teeth falling out!"


    Ye Yuan did not lack resources currently. With the support of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed was very quick. One month''s time, Ye Yuan already broke through to the Eighth Level Divine Traversing.


    Wu Jiantong was very arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant too. His age was only around twenty plus years old, yet he already reached Ninth Level Boundless!


    "Don''t know, and don''t want to know either."


    Ye Yuan''s manner actually did not attach importance to Wu Jianting in the slightest.


    Wu Jiantong was clearly someone arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. His temper flared up with a stroke.


    "Brat, you have balls! This competition, you''ll die very horrible! Elder Brother Jianqing, let''s go to the reserved box for honored guests. Let these bumpkins squeeze in this corner!"


    This place was the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s area. Wu Jiantong naturally had to give some face and could not very well get into a fight.


    After the three people left, Ye Yuan, Tang Fan, and Mu Yun took their seats. Tang Fan gave Ye Yuan a thumbs up and said, "Brother Ye is indeed impressive, to actually even think nothing of Wu Jiantong!"


    Ye Yuan was curious too as he said, "Why? Is he famous?"


    Mu Yun said with a smile, "More than just famous! The Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, Wu Jiantong is a favorite contending for the championship second only to Nalan Chu! Offending him, Brother Ye will probably have to be a little careful in the competition this time. Only Brother Ye doesn''t recognize him. If it were another person, they would probably have to take a detour around."


    Ye Yuan touched his nose and said smilingly, "So impressive? Looks like I''ve offended someone I shouldn''t offend!"


    Mu Yun said speechlessly, "Brother Ye''s strength is outstanding. But it''s best to be a little more careful still. The grand finals is a fierce struggle. Be slightly lacking in strength, and one will likely get eliminated. The Wu Family is powerful. If any schemes surface, it might be detrimental to Brother Ye."


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Even if I don''t provoke him, Wu Jianqing would probably think of ways to make him come and provoke me too. This selection competition ultimately still depends on one''s own strength."


    The three people were just speaking when a coquettish madam walked up to the stage and said in a clear voice, "Appreciate everyone honoring with a visit, coming to our Heaven''s Destiny Auction. This lowly self is Cai Yue. I believe that friends who frequently come to the Heaven''s Destiny Auctions won''t be unacquainted with this lowly self. Enough talk, we''d better go into the main topic. Today''s auction items have a total of 13 articles. I believe that everyone came today for that finale holy artifact at the end. As for what that holy artifact is, allow this lowly self to keep you guessing and leave it till the end to unveil!"


    This Cai Yue was clearly an auction veteran. Just a few simple words stirred up everyone''s appetites fully.


    Holy artifact, this was something not often seen in Rank Nine Holy Lands!


    One had to know that holy artifacts were things that Dao Profound Realm powerhouses used. Each item was worth a city.


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was also immensely wealthy, that was why they would take this sort of thing out to auction off.


    "I already heard rumors when I came this time. Didn''t think that it''s really a holy artifact!"


    "Big Sister Cai Yue, don''t leave us hanging. Quickly tell us just what on earth this finale holy artifact is!"


    "Yeah, at most, accompany you to sleep later as compensation. Quickly tell us."


    "Haha ��"


    No idea who quipped such a sentence either, making a series of loud laughter emit from beneath the stage.


    However, although this Cai Yue''s age looked slightly older, she maintained her looks extremely well and even had a mature appeal that young girls could not compare to. With every movement, it would have a massive charm to men. Those whose willpower were slightly weaker could not keep it under control at all.


    Cai Yue did not get angry when she heard it either. She said with a coquettish smile, "If this lowly self dares to agree, I wonder if this hero dares to really sleep with this lowly self or not?"


    With her smiling like this, beneath the stage actually became silent. No one dared to answer.


    Ye Yuan swept over everyone and could not help being puzzled.


    One had to admit that this madam was indeed extremely stirring. Why did everyone avoid her like avoiding snakes or scorpions with a jest?


    "Hey, this woman''s looks aren''t bad. Why does everyone all seem to be very afraid of her?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    But after waiting a long time, those two kids did not respond.


    Turning his head to look, he saw that those two brats were already in a daze. Clearly, they had their souls hooked away by this madam already.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and reached his hand out to smack each of their heads. Only then did the two people startle awake.


    "Ouch! Brother Ye, what did you hit me for?"


    "If I did not hit you guys, your divine souls would have ran away with her!" Ye Yuan said huffily.


    The two people''s face flushed red, but their eyes still kept glancing over at Cai Yue.


    "Heh, the two brats are new here, right? This Cai Yue is a famous black widow who has already jinxed seven husbands to death. Who dares to be intimate with her?" suddenly, a somber voice sounded out beside.


    Ye Yuan trio turned their heads over to look, they saw a black-robed man who wrapped himself up tightly.


    Looking from the outside, his sex and strength could not be discerned at all.


    But in an auction, this kind of people was common too. Most did not wish to expose their identities. Ye Yuan thought nothing of this too.


    But hearing this person''s words, Tang Fan and Mu Yun were stricken with fear. Their gazes when looking at Cai Yue again were the same as the others.


    Such a woman, wouldn''t whoever encounter her have to die?


    Cai Yue could not help sighing bitterly when she saw the situation and said, "I knew that you men, not one are genuine and sincere!"


    This sigh was truly dazzlingly charming, making quite a few people under the stage somewhat unable to endure.


    This Heaven''s Destiny Auction being so prosperous was probably not unrelated to this Cai Yue.


    Even if this woman could not be touched, having a look also made people lose their heads in ecstasy!


    "Alright, alright, making me out to be a shrew. Let''s better return back to business. Everyone, come take a look at today''s first auction article!"


    As she said, Cai Yue clapped her hands. A servant presented the first auction item.


    Cai Yue urged with her essence energy, removing the restrictions on the auction article, but it revealed a fist-sized rock.


    When Ye Yuan saw that stone, his gaze could not help turning intent. Clearly, he had already recognized the origins of this stone. But the others all had blank looks, no idea why the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would bring such a lousy stone out to auction.


    Cai Yue said with a smile, "Today''s first auction article, everyone might be a little foreign. But make sure not to look down on it! This rock is called Three-Lives Stone; it is a heaven and earth miraculous item. With it, it''s practically having an additional life!"

 787 Sucker

    "Three-Lives Stone! It''s actually the Three-Lives Stone of the legends!" someone suddenly exclaimed beneath the stage. Clearly, he had heard before the renown of the Three-Lives Stone.


    But this Three-Lives Stone was extremely rare. Therefore, they did not recognize it either.


    Cai Yue''s words stirred up the atmosphere beneath the stage all at once.


    Having an additional life, this to all martial artists, was a deadly temptation.


    Cai Yue smiled enchantingly and said, "Looks like someone heard of Three-Lives Stone before. But I think that the majority of the people might still be more foreign to it. Three-Lives Stone isn''t a medicinal pill, but it''s more impressive than most miracle elixirs! Martial artists only have to refine it and fuse it into their bodies. When they reach a state of impending death, it will activate on its own and can let you recover to your peak state within ten breaths of time; it is definitely a superb item to preserve one''s life!"


    The moment these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    This kind of function could simply be hailed as heaven-defying!


    "Cai Yue, what''s the base price of this Three-Lives Stone? I must buy it!" Someone was already too anxious to wait beneath the stage.


    Such a heaven-defying item naturally aroused quite a few people''s covetous eyes.


    Quite a few people were already itching to give it a go, wanting to bid for this Three-Lives Stone.


    Cai Yue saw that the fire was almost there before slowly opening her mouth and saying, "The first auction article, one Three-Lives Stone, the starting auction price is 10 million earth essence crystals! Each increase in price mustn''t be less than 1 million!"


    "20 million earth essence crystals!"


    "25 million earth essence crystals!"


    "30 million earth essence crystals!"


    ...


    The moment Cai Yue''s voice faded, the price of the Three-Lives Stone was directly raised by 20 million earth essence crystals.


    Spending 30 million to buy a life, they felt that it was too cheap.


    Except Ye Yuan, Tang Fan and Mu Yun were unbelievably moved.


    "31 million earth essence crystals!" Tang Fan could not resist shouting too.


    But his yell was surpassed by people very soon. An increase in price by a million seemed to be entirely too inferior to show in public at this time.


    Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes and said, "Don''t increase the price anymore! This Three-Lives Stone is already at a premium. There''s no need to keep increasing it. Such a small piece of Three-Lives Stone, at most it''s also just worth 20 million earth essence crystals."


    Tang Fan said in surprise, "This thing can give an additional life. 30 million earth essence crystals aren''t considered a lot, right?"


    Mu Yun had a curious look too. He was also very impulsive towards this Three-Lives Stone. But this price was raised a little high at all once. He could not quite endure it either.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, he could not help becoming very curious.


    Ye Yuan was just about to speak when a voice suddenly shouted out from inside an honored guest room upstairs.


    "60 million earth essence crystals!"


    With this shout, everyone all sucked in a cold breath. No one else opened their mouths again.


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard this yell and immediately revealed a hint of a strange smile.


    "60 million once!"


    "60 million twice!"


    "60 million thrice! Deal! Congratulations to the guest in the Sky Character Number 2 room for obtaining this Three-Lives Stone!"


    Following Cai Yue''s moving voice sounding out, this Three-Lives Stone''s ownership was settled too.


    A high price of 60 million already surpassed the mental expectations of most people.


    Though this thing was good, quite a number of people had their own objectives for coming here. Spending too much money on other things, it would naturally be insufficient for what they set their minds on.


    Only genuinely wealthy people would not care about this price of 60 million earth essence crystals.


    But the Sky Character Room guests were basically all either wealthy or noble. Otherwise, it was also impossible to enter the distinguished guest box rooms.


    Not only was this distinguished guest box room very private, but it was also very comfortable too. All sort of services was also very on point. Ordinary people could not go in at all.


    "Brother Ye, looking at your appearance, seems like they suffered a loss buying these earth essence crystals?" Mu Yun said curiously.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "More than just suffered a loss, it''s suffered a huge loss! Although the Three-Lives Stone is miraculous, it''s not a heaven-defying object either. The size of a Three-Lives Stone determines the strength of its effect. This fist-sized Three-Lives Stone only has 70% effect on Boundless Realm martial artists. To Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, the effects would be even weaker. That Cai Yue deliberately concealed some things. Clearly, she wanted to let people be deceived on account of their generosity. Either way, the effects of this thing can''t be discerned until a life-and-death juncture anyway. If a Divine Traversing Realm used it, it was still okay. If it were a Boundless Realm, it would be of little value. But it''s likely that the possibility of the people inside that Sky Character No. 2 room being Divine Traversing Realms is very small."


    This auction, there were barely any Divine Traversing Realms in the first place. Only a Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan would enter here.


    The others, even if they were large family clans'' juniors, they all did not have the qualifications to enter here.


    Therefore, the person who spent 60 million to buy this Three-Lives Stone was definitely a sucker. Furthermore, this sucker was even somewhat foolish.


    Tang Fan and Mu Yun could not help exchanging glances, and could not help being very sympathetic towards that sucker in the Sky Character No. 2 Room.


    Inside the Sky Character No. 2 Room, Wu Jiantong was currently being pleased with himself.


    "Heh, there''s actually such a good thing like the Three-Lives Stone. A major trading firm like the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company indeed has some skill. This young master acquiring this thing, I can act recklessly without any qualms in the future when facing enemies! These 60 million earth essence crystals are well-spent!"


    "Congratulations to Brother Jiantong! Didn''t expect that this first auction article is such a heaven-defying item. Looks like tonight will have quite a number of good stuff!" Peng Yan said fawningly.


    This one afternoon''s time, Peng Yan already became acquainted with Wu Jiantong from messing around and became like a little lackey.


    Wu Jianqing''s pugilistic experiences were much more consummate and kept feeling that something was not right. But could not pinpoint it in a short time either.


    Furthermore, Wu Jiantong''s status in the family clan was much higher than him. Therefore, it was difficult for him to comment on anything as well.


    "Next, we invite the second auction article ��"


    Ye Yuan had been observing beneath the stage the entire time. This Cai Yue was indeed an expert. Practically each auction item, she could maximize the profits.


    Three to four auction items being bid down, Ye Yuan discovered that the price of each article were all above its actual value.


    Of course, auction this kind of thing, what it observed was judgment.


    People without good judgment would tend to buy at a price higher than the auction item''s price in itself.


    But these front few items did not have much use to Ye Yuan. Therefore, he did not have the intention of making a move either.


    With Ye Yuan''s horizons, the things auctioned in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, there were really very few able to enter his arcane sights.


    Hence, his primary goal of coming today was actually just to accompany Tang Fan, the two of them.


    Regarding this sort of auction, Ye Yuan had participated many times during his previous life. He was basically very familiar with it.


    Hiking up prices in an auction was very sagacious and not just casually shouting prices.


    People who genuinely understood the business all had a psychological price towards each auction article. Once the price hiked up over too much, they would definitely give up.


    Therefore, this tested the auction house''s ability.


    The base price must be moderate, making the final transaction price hiked up over slightly, yet it was also not to an extent where it broke through the limits of the bidders'' psychological price. Every single thing must be precise.


    One could say that the entire auction was a process of scheming and outwitting. It would depend on who grasped it more accurately.


    Right now, at this auction venue, there were clearly some people who knew the business but were no match for the many local tycoons. Therefore, several auction items being bid down, there was quite a number which were at a premium by a wide margin.

 788 Black Metal Lump

    It looked bustling, but everyone actually had a score in their hearts.


    Everyone coming over tonight, quite a number of them was aiming at that finale holy artifact.


    Organizing an auction, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would naturally leak out some news.


    The auctioning of a holy artifact would naturally draw many people to surround and spectate.


    Therefore, the final great battle tonight was still concerning that holy artifact.


    As long as that holy artifact was not some trash good, the final auction article would definitely be an intense seizing battle.


    These auction goods previously were at most considered appetizers before the meal.


    All the way until the eighth auction article ended, Ye Yuan did not even make a move to bid for a single item.


    But Mu Yun took fancy on an item. Under Ye Yuan''s guidance, he finally succeeded in the bidding.


    What Mu Yun took fancy upon was a Quasi-Tier 9 martial technique. This was also considered pretty good stuff in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    It was just that this Quasi-Tier 9 martial technique was something that was not indispensable to the holy land''s major family clans. Therefore, the bidding was naturally not that intense too.


    Under Ye Yuan''s guidance, Mu Yun finally closed the deal with 10 million earth essence crystals as the price.


    And when announcing the closing of the deal, some helplessness was concealed in the depths of Cai Yue''s eyes. Clearly, she was very unhappy with this price.


    "Next, we''re starting the bidding for tonight''s ninth auction item. Talking about this auction item, truthfully speaking, our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company actually doesn''t know its usage too. But we invited many appraisal masters who all ascertained before that this black metal lump is absolutely no commonplace good. For this black metal lump, we''ve specially invited Master Mu Yuanfei to appraise before. The final verdict he gave was that it was very likely to be a kind of very high-ranking artifact refining material. Of course, as for how the specifics functions are, it will probably be up to everybody to fumble yourselves. This black metal lump''s base auction price is one million. Each price increase is not to be lesser than 100 thousand. Auction starts."


    Cai Yue finished introducing. Quite a number of people already lost interest in this shiny black metal chunk.


    Even the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company could not figure out this metal lump''s use, let alone other people.


    As for saying that it was an artifact refining material, god knows if it could really be of use or not. Therefore, when Cai Yue''s voice faded, it actually became somewhat silent for a moment.


    Cai Yue swept a glance around the venue and could not help revealing a hint of a disappointed expression.


    Looks like this auction item would likely have to be passed on. But this was also something within expectations. This black metal chunk, they tested many methods, but could not figure out its use.


    "1.1 million!"


    Just as everyone all felt that it was going to be passed over, suddenly, someone shouted a price. Everyone followed the voice and looked over. It was actually a Divine Traversing Realm youth. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Even Tang Fan and Mu Yun were both rather surprised. Ye Yuan showed no interest the entire night but actually became interested in an unknown item.


    Cai Yue revealed an unexpected look of joy. She clearly did not think that there was really someone who offered a price.


    "This little brother offers 1.1 million. Is there still any higher than him?"


    Cai Yue surveyed the surroundings, hoping for another contender to appear.


    "2 million!"


    Right at this time, a shout actually came from upstairs. It was precisely the Sky Character No. 2 Room''s Wu Jiantong who increased the price.


    Furthermore, this increase raised it by 900 thousand! "The Sky Character No. 2 Room''s guest offers 2 million! Is there still any higher than him?" Cai Yue was faintly quite excited.


    "2.1 million!" Ye Yuan faintly shot a glance upstairs, his eyes not even blinking as he added the price.


    That fellow upstairs was absolutely here to make trouble. No need to guess and he also knew who that Sky Character No. 2 Room''s sucker was.


    The privacy upstairs was very good. The people downstairs were not aware of who was upstairs. But the guests upstairs could see the situation below clearly.


    When Wu Jiantong saw that it was actually Ye Yuan yelling out the price, he could not resist playing a prank.


    "3 million!" Wu Jianton yelled.


    "Hahaha, that guy is definitely a penniless pauper! Saw a cheap item and want to pick up a bargain. I deliberately won''t it go according to his wishes!" yelling out the price, Wu Jiantong said to Wu Jianqing duo smugly.


    "Huhu, the prices of the goods at the front were all frighteningly high. Just this one is a little cheap. Looks like he really wanted to pick something up at a low price. Brother Wu is truly brilliant!" Peng Yan gave a thumbs up and said.


    "3.1 million!" Ye Yuan still yelled calmly.


    "4 million!"


    ...


    "9.1 million."


    "10 million!"


    Every time Wu Jiantong increased the price, Ye Yuan would add 100 thousand nonchalantly; it was as if an old well without ripples.


    But this time, Ye Yuan stopped.


    Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that a chunk of scrap metal actually reached 10 million earth essence crystals!


    Very clearly, that one upstairs was intentionally raising prices to repulse Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look prior to this. Everyone even thought that he was a sucker.


    But he suddenly stopped, pushing that one upstairs to the edge of the cliff.


    "This guy wouldn''t have guessed something and deliberately raised prices with us, right?" Wu Jianqing said with a frown.


    Wu Jiantong did not speak, but his expression was not too good either.


    He was just deliberately baiting Ye Yuan and did not think about buying this lousy thing before at all.


    Who knew that he didn''t get to bait Ye Yuan; he was baited himself.


    "10 million once!"


    Cai Yue saw that Ye Yuan did not react the entire time and could not help being a little disappointed.


    "10 million twice!"


    Wu Jiantong''s expression was incomparably ugly. His primary goal this time was also the holy artifact. But in order to buy the Three-Lives Stone previously, the expenditure was somewhat over-budget.


    A figure of 10 million was not considered much to him. But buying a chunk of scrap metal back, people would die of laughter.


    Furthermore, an amount of 10 million might be able to play a critical role in the final wresting battle.


    Although Wu Jiantong''s status was high, the credit he could utilize was limited too. It was not possible to draw credit limitless.


    "10 million th ��"


    "10.1 million!"


    At the final juncture, Ye Yuan''s voice actually sounded out once more.


    This time, his voice was clearly somewhat hesitant.


    "Hahaha! Like I said, this penniless pauper can''t even take out 10 million, and he actually dares to come to an auction like this!"


    Wu Jiantong let out a burst of laughter. On the one hand, it was discerning Ye Yuan''s ''limit.'' On the other hand, it was to cover up his awkwardness from before.


    "Jiantong, our goal today is that holy artifact. Better don''t stir up unnecessary trouble anymore." Wu Jianqing reminded.


    Wu Jiantong nodded his head and also backed down along with that.


    Based on his estimation, Ye Yuan''s ''limits'' was also just this much.


    Raise the price anymore, and that lump of scrap metal would probably be his.


    "10.1 million once! 10.1 million twice! 10.1 million thrice! Deal! Congratulations to this little brother for obtaining the ninth auction item!"


    Cai Yue''s voice carried some pleasant surprise too. She completely never thought that this thing that had concerns about being passed over previously would actually be offered a high price of 10 million. This was truly an unexpected surprise.


    Ye Yuan was naturally slightly depressed in his heart too. He originally thought that he could spend a million to pick up a good thing cheap. He didn''t expect Wu Jiantong that fellow to actually cut in rudely, making him spend nine million more for no reason.

 789 Felt like a Lifetime Had Passed

    "Brother Ye, could it be that this lousy metal lump has any extraordinary aspects? Tang Fan asked somewhat curiously.


    Through of period of time of living together, they were all aware of Ye Yuan''s prudent character.


    If this metal lump was really without a single redeeming feature, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to spend 10 million earth essence crystals to buy it.


    Of course, to the current Ye Yuan, 10 million was actually not considered much.


    These few months that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opened for business, he already earned close to 100 million earth essence crystals. Earlier, he deliberately feigned a hesitant appearance in order to make Wu Jiantong not dare to increase prices.


    10 million, this was also the price that Ye Yuan estimated before.


    Too little, Wu Jiantong definitely would not fall for it.


    This metal lump, Ye Yuan was determined to get it. Even though he spent 10 million earth essence crystals, Ye Yuan felt that it was very worth it.


    Very worth it!


    These auction articles would all release the restrictions when auctioning. Guests could use divine sense and eyes to inspect the auction goods.


    Ye Yuan used divine sense to sweep over this black metal lump earlier and actually discovered that the golden characters in his sea of consciousness had strange activities!


    This discovery made Ye Yuan endlessly amazed in his heart.


    Ever since after Ye Yuan acquired these golden characters, he had no way of mobilizing them all along. Although he continuously attempted to comprehend these golden characters, the progress was very slow.


    Like today, the golden characters automatically having strange activities appear, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time encountering.


    He even thought that no one would snatch a chunk of scrap metal with him beforehand. He didn''t expect that this Wu Jiantong actually made him spend additional nine million earth essence crystals.


    This debt, Ye Yuan silently noted it down too.


    Seeing Tang Fan inquire, Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "I''m currently collecting some materials recently. Since even Master Mu Yuanfei said that this metal lump is an excellent material, I naturally have to bid for it."


    The golden characters were of grave importance. Ye Yuan obviously would not easily divulge it. Hence, he found a reason to dodge it a little.


    Fortunately, this Mu Yuanfei''s fame was too strong. His words, there were naturally very few people who would doubt.


    The auction subsequently, Ye Yuan''s interest somewhat waned.


    These things being auctioned were all pretty good. But he held them in complete contempt. He only wanted the auction to end as soon as possible to properly study this black metal lump.


    Finally, the front 12 articles all found a buyer, entering the auction of the final finale auction article!


    Everyone all perked their spirits up fully. Today''s auction also entered the final climax.


    Reaching this finale auction article, Cai Yue''s entire person roused herself because of it, giving people a feeling of radiating spirit.


    "I know that among all the guests, there are quite a number of people all aiming at tonight''s finale holy artifact. I, Cai Yue, can take responsibility and tell everybody and this holy artifact absolutely won''t disappoint you all! Actually, when Cai Yue got to know this holy artifact''s origins, I felt very honored to be able to host this auction tonight! Not talking anymore nonsense, let us invite the last finale auction article of tonight!"


    When Cai Yue was introducing this auction item, the coquettish air on her face actually vanished without a trace. Her entire person became solemn for it, becoming like a different person from her appearance before.


    This made Ye Yuan unwittingly became somewhat curious too. Just what kind of holy artifact could actually make a beautiful, coquettish madam underwent such a big transformation?


    And Cai Yue''s introduction likewise whetted up everyone''s appetites fully.


    The closer it approached this finale holy artifact, the more nervous everyone''s emotions became.


    Under everyone''s stares, a slim and graceful longsword was presented onto the stage. Everyone sized up this longsword with curious faces. The restrictions had yet to be removed. They did not know what incredible aspects this longsword had too.


    But hearing the meaning in Cai Yue''s words, this longsword seemed to be a big deal.


    "Tsk tsk, although this longsword''s restrictions haven''t be removed yet, it looks very impressive!" Mu Yun said.


    "Heh, Brother Ye, do you think that the power will augment or not when displaying the quick-sword art if I bid this longsword down? Brother Ye?"


    Tang Fan''s words did not get Ye Yuan''s reply, and he could not help turning his head to look at Ye Yuan. He saw Ye Yuan''s gaze staring fixedly at that longsword, his entire person as if having an immobilizing spell being cast, completely still.


    "Brother Ye? What''s with you?" Tang Fan nudged Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan abruptly startled awake before discovering his loss of composure and could not help forcing a smile as he said, "It''s my first time seeing a holy artifact. A little agitated, huhu."


    It was still Tang Fan and Mu Yun''s first time seeing Ye Yuan lose composure like so. Although they did not quite believe Ye Yuan''s words, it was not appropriate for them to comment much either.


    Right at this time, the restrictions on the longsword was released. A powerful sword qi instantly engulfed the entire auction venue.


    "What a fierce and sharp sword qi! Is this the might of a holy artifact?"


    "This sword is simply too incredible! No matter how high a price I expend, I must buy it!"


    "Haha, this holy artifact is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would regard it so highly! Nobody is deploying the longsword, and it can actually emit such a powerful sword intent on its own! Indeed impressive!"


    Waves of exclamations echoed throughout the auction venue. Very clearly, the moment this longsword came onto the stage, it amazed everyone!


    Each and every one of them was already itching to have a go, preparing their wallets, planning to bid for this sword.


    Cai Yue smiled slightly and said, "Looks like everyone is very satisfied with this sword. But hold your horses, everybody. Allow Cai Yue to introduce this sword''s origins first!"


    Cai Yue paused for a bit, extended her exquisite fingers, and lightly caressed the sword body, her eyes filled with a revering look.


    "This sword''s name is called Starmoon Sword! I think that everyone is very foreign to its name. But you all should be very familiar with the name of its owner! The name of its owner is called �� Qing �� Yun �� Zi!" Cai Yue said slowly.


    "Qingyun Zi! It''s that youngest peak Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi! This �� This is actually his personal sword that he had always had with him every single day! It''s his equipped sword!"


    Everyone beneath the stage sucked in a cold breath. It was true that this name was too resounding in the Divine Realm.


    Even in such a remote White Valiant Region, toward Qingyun Zi''s great fame, it pierced the ears like thunder too.


    They never would have thought that this sword was actually Qingyun Zi''s equipped sword!


    Hearing this name, Ye Yuan''s entire body could not refrain from shuddering, all sorts of emotions jumbled up in his heart. He could not say what kind of a feeling it was either.


    When he saw the Starmoon Sword at first glance, that sort of familiar feeling welled up in his heart. This sort of feeling felt like a lifetime had passed.


    Ye Yuan never would have dreamed that he could meet his previous life''s equipped sword here!


    Although he was not proficient in martial strength, this Starmoon Sword followed him for many years. The feelings were immensely deep.


    Seeing the Starmoon Sword again, how could Ye Yuan not be agitated?


    "This Divine Realm, apart from him, who else dares to self-proclaim ''Qingyun Zi'' these three words? That''s right, this Starmoon Sword was precisely Qingyun Zi''s equipped sword! This sword was formerly a top-tier holy artifact. But after Lord Qingyun Zi perished, this sword passed through several hands and already lost its initial keen edge. The top-level array formation inscribed on the Starmoon Sword is severely damaged. The sword body was also befouled. The current Starmoon Sword is already just a low-grade holy artifact," Cai Yue said and lamented.

 790 Verifying Capital

    "Although Lord Qingyun Zi was not adept at martial strength, his equipped sword is naturally not an ordinary item too. This Starmoon Sword had once accompanied by Lord Qingyun Zi''s side. Lord Qingyun Zi exceptionally liked it too. At present, although it''s severely damaged, it''s still a sharp weapon. If one can invite a top-tier artifact refining master, he should be able to let this sword recover to its peak state," Cai Yue introduced slowly.


    One could tell that Cai Yue worshiped Qingyun Zi greatly.


    In truth, Ji Qingyun had countless fans in the Divine Realm. Yang Wenmiao''s level of support was not worth mentioning at all in front of Ji Qingyun.


    His accomplishments back then had indeed stunned an era.


    "Alright, not saying anymore. I believe that ''Qingyun Zi'' this name is already sufficient to illustrate everything! This Starmoon Sword''s base price is 300 million. Each increase in price is not to be lower than 10 million. Auctioning starts now!" Cai Yue said.


    The moment the words were uttered, the group of guests all drew a cold breath.


    Although the price of a low-grade holy artifact was high, 300 million earth essence crystals was truly a little preposterous.


    Normal low-grade holy artifacts, the price was between 100 to 300 million.


    But for this Starmoon Sword, 300 million was merely just the base price. Once it drove up, it at least, at least had to increase another 100 million too.


    This base price already surpassed the mental expectations of many people.


    "310 million!"


    The moment Cai Yue''s voice faded, there was immediately someone who shouted a price.


    "Heh, only adding 10 million for Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi''s sword? I offer 400 million!"


    The one who voiced out this time was actually the Sky Character No. 2 Room. Who could it be if not Wu Jiantong?


    This increase was 90 million!


    Hearing this price, everyone could not help falling silent once more. They clearly did not expect that the price would be raised so quickly.


    "420 million!"


    The silences did not last very long. But the one who increased the price this time was the Sky Character No .1 Room.


    Ye Yuan already recollected his emotions at this time and could not help becoming rather curious about this Sky Character No. 1 Room. Just now, the hiking of price this time, it was the person in the Sky Character No. 1 Room first time speaking tonight.


    "450 million!"


    "460 million!"


    ...


    Sky Character No. 1 Room joined in the fight. The Starmoon Sword''s price rose up very quickly, reaching 500 million very soon.


    But after reaching 500 million, the two people''s price shouting speed clearly slowed down.


    This price was already getting closer and closer to the two people''s psychological price level.


    "510 million!" After being silent for a short while, Wu Jiantong shouted.


    Wu Jiantong shouting this price, the Sky Character No. 1 Room fell silent too. Clearly, they were hesitating.


    "600 million!"


    Right at the moment Sky Character No.1 Room was silent, someone actually shouted out a high price of 600 million directly downstairs!


    Everyone looked over where the voice came from and could not help being astonished. The one who shouted the high price of 600 million was none other than precisely that Divine Traversing Realm youth who spent 10 million to buy a metal scrap previously!


    "600 million! This little brother shouted out 600 million! Is there still any higher than him?" Cai Yue said agitatedly.


    "Damn it! This punk must be deliberate! After the selection competition this time, I''ll definitely make him die very horribly!"


    Inside the Sky Character No. 2 Room''s compartment room, Wu Jiantong was currently in a thundering rage right now.


    His psychological price level was just around 550 million. The credit limit that the family clan gave him this time was also just 650 million earth essence crystals.


    Previously, he already spent 60 million. Now, Ye Yuan raising it to 600 million directly made him very hard to bear it.


    With Wu Jiantong''s status, normally, he naturally could amass quite a number of earth essence crystals. But making him utilize his own private savings for one auction was clearly what he could not accept.


    Wu Jianqing consoled when he saw the situation, "This Starmoon Sword is indeed above its money''s worth. There is still potential to advance. Exceeding some earth essence crystals, I believe the family clan won''t say anything."


    Wu Jiantong''s expression was livid with rage as he said, "I know, but I can''t swallow this insult! This punk must have guessed that it was me. I scammed him 9 million, he scammed me 90 million!"


    Right at this time, Cai Yue''s voice sounded out, "600 million once! 600 million twice!"


    "610 million!" Wu Jiantong shouted.


    "610 million! Sky Character No. 2 Room''s guest offers 610 million! Is there still any higher?"


    Cai Yue''s beautiful eyes were hopeful but looked at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, but his mouth spoke coolly, "700 million!"


    "700 million! This brother offers 700 million!"


    Slap!


    Sky Character No. 2 Room, a cup was smashed into pieces.


    "This punk, simply bullying others too far! Want to play, is it? I want to see when you can play until!" Wu Jiantong said with unbounded rage.


    "750 million!"


    "750 million! Sky Character No.2 Room offers 750 million!"


    This price already far surpassed the expectations previously. Cai Yue''s excited voice was even somewhat trembling.


    "Your Father will throw in all of my private savings! See if you can still afford to play or not!'' Wu Jiantong said with a cold laugh.


    But his voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out once more, just like when bidding for that black metal lump previously.


    "One billion!"


    The two words reverberated lightly in the auction venue. Everyone was stunned.


    Same as Wu Jiantong''s thinking, everyone also thought that Ye Yuan was taking revenge this time.


    But Ye Yuan raising the price to a billion all at once was something that everyone did not expect from start to end.


    Cai Yue did not react for a moment and actually froze on the stage.


    "O-One billion! This little brother increased it to one billion!"


    Cai Yue reacted very quickly, the pitch of her voice getting increasingly higher. The last two words, she practically screamed it out.


    No one would have thought that this Starmoon Sword was actually raised to a high price of one billion!


    Wu Jiantong was stunned too. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually play so big.


    "One billion? Is there still any higher? One billion once! One billion twice ��"


    "Wait a minute!"


    Right as Cai Yue was about to bang the hammer and decide the price, someone suddenly interrupted beneath the stage.


    Everyone looked over towards where the voice came from but saw Wu Jianton already came downstairs since goodness knows when.


    Cai Yue clearly recognized Wu Jiantong. She smiled sweetly when she heard that and said, "I wonder what advice Young Master Wu has?"


    Wu Jianton shot a glance in Ye Yuan''s direction disdainfully and said with a cold smile, "Cai Yue, a Divine Traversing Realm brat actually shouted out a high price of one billion. Don''t you all have any suspicions at all? I think that this boy simply came in to fill up the vacancies! I want to request a verification of capital! If he has a billion earth essence crystals, little lord, I, will pluck my head off for him to kick like a ball!"


    Indeed, don''t look at how each and every one of them shouted gleefully in this auction venue. Those able to take out one billion earth essence crystals could absolutely be counted on one''s fingers.


    Forget about a measly little Divine Traversing Realm, even Phaseless Realm martial artists might not be able to take out this many earth essence crystals either.


    One billion earth essence crystals were roughly equivalent to a Phaseless Realm martial artist''s entire net worth. Furthermore, this was still a minority of Phaseless Realm martial artists.


    Therefore, when it raised to 500 million previously, the vast majority of the people all lowered their banners and silenced the drums already.


    Though holy artifacts were good, to throw in their entire net worth, it was somewhat not worth it.


    Cai Yue was also agitated for a moment earlier and actually forgot about this. Now, hearing Wu Jiantong mention it, she involuntarily started to have suspicions too.


    "Apologies, little brother. In order to guarantee everyone''s interests, we still have to verify your assets."

 791 Old Partner, Long Time No See!

    Cai Yue said those words very gently, but in her voice had the hint of not tolerating refusal.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, it did not seem like he could take out one billion earth essence crystals no matter what.


    If Ye Yuan dared to fool the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, then his outcome would undoubtedly be very miserable.


    Currently, there were already two late-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists who came to Ye Yuan''s side. As long as Ye Yuan dared to say a word of refusal, they were probably going to take action.


    Ye Yuan raised his head and looked at Cai Yue, saying cooperatively out of everyone''s expectations, "Alright, no problem."


    Looking at Ye Yuan enter the backstage, Wu Jiantong was very pleased with himself in his heart.


    "Humph! Let you feign ignorance! Letting the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company take care of you, this fellow, saves this Little Lord the trouble!"


    ...


    Two martial artists escorted Ye Yuan into a hidden chamber, but they did not follow in.


    While Cai Yue was already inside the hidden chamber since who knows when.


    In the entire hidden chamber, there was only Ye Yuan and Cai Yue.


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter, Cai Yue came in front of Ye Yuan swaying her slender waist. Her eyes carried a smile as she said, "Little Brother, it''s not that our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company doesn''t trust you, but you also know, it''s very hard for a cultivation realm such as yours to take out so many earth essence crystals. Us doing this is also just for the sake of ensuring that the auction runs smooth. Hope that Little Brother doesn''t mind."


    With a delicate fragrance pervading the air, a smile akin to a flower, plus a magnetic voice, Cai Yue''s seduction power absolutely made people''s blood flow speed up. Inside the entire hidden chamber was filled with a kind of ambiguous atmosphere.


    Cai Yue this sort of mature madam''s lingering charm was really not what the average person could withstand.


    But Ye Yuan smiled faintly when he saw the situation and said, "Elder Sister don''t have to cast this bewitching art already. Honestly telling Elder Sister, I really can''t take out so many earth essence crystals."


    The previous moment, Cai Yue was still amazed that Ye Yuan was actually able to maintain composure under her seduction. A moment later, her expression became very ugly.


    Indeed let Wu Jiantong hit the mark! This brat did not have the earth essence crystals at all!


    "Little Brother, do you know what kind of outcome playing tricks with my Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company will be?''


    Cai Yue still had the appearance of a flower-like smile, but her tone gradually became cold.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Sister Cai Yue, calm down. Truthfully speaking, encountering the Starmoon Sword is also outside of my expectations. But no matter what, I have to obtain the Starmoon Sword too. Uh �� this one billion earth essence crystals, just take it as me loaning from the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company."


    "Loan? Huhu, Little Brother really knows how to crack jokes. Could it be that you take our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to be a charity foundation? Since Little Brother can''t take out the earth essence crystals, then don''t blame Elder Sister for not being courteous."


    Cai Yue still had that sweet expression. But the killing intent in her words was already not concealed in the slightest.


    But Ye Yuan did not care a whit. He waved his hand and said smilingly, "Elder Sister, don''t get so agitated. This thing, I wonder if it''s worth one billion or not?"


    "What thing can be worth one �� Gold token! You �� Why would you have a gold token!"


    Cai Yue had a laid back appearance. But when she saw Ye Yuan take out the gold token, her expression immediately changed.


    "Oh, the last time, Ancient Opulence City''s Zuo Xin delivered it to me. I said that I don''t want it, but he made me keep it. I thought that this thing is very valuable. Turns out that that fellow was bluffing me."


    "No, no, no! He didn''t bluff you! This token is very valuable �� No, no, no, the value of a gold token is simply unable to be measured using earth essence crystals!" Cai Yue said with somewhat incoherent speech.


    She looked over the gold token in her hand repeated, confirming that this was genuine beyond doubt. The shock in her heart could be imagined.


    The headquarters actually bypassed them and directly issued a gold token to this youth before her eyes. It could be seen how highly the headquarters regarded this youth!


    "Like this huh, it''s good that elder sister says that this thing is valuable. Otherwise, I really wouldn''t know what to do today. Huhu, since it''s like this, then can this Starmoon Sword belong to me already? Uh �� one billion earth essence crystals, I''ll write an IOU for you," Ye Yuan said.


    ...


    Seeing Cai Yue return to the stage alone, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Wu Jiantong''s mouth.


    "Heh heh, I knew that that punk was pretending. With this, he threw himself into trouble, right? A country bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world before. He probably still doesn''t know how terrifying the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company is, right?"


    By the side, Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan were also wildly elated when they saw this kind of situation.


    The two of them could be said to hate Ye Yuan to the bones. This time, Ye Yuan courting death himself and offending the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company, it was truly most gratifying!


    Right now, Cai Yue already recovered to that charming and moving appearance, standing on the stage still took people''s breath away.


    "Made everyone wait for long. Really sorry about it. Let''s continue the auction. I wonder if there is still anyone offering a higher price for this Starmoon Sword? If there isn''t, it will belong to Young Master Ye. Additionally, from today onwards, Young Master Ye will be my Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s honored guest. If any mishap happens to him in the holy land, our Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company will definitely pursue it to the end!"


    Cai Yue''s words made everyone stunned.


    A man''s wealth was his own ruin by causing other''s greed.!


    Cai Yue words were warning those people with devious ideas to not think about killing people to seize treasures this sort of thing.


    Of course, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company warning was still very fearsome.


    Wu Jiantong''s expression changed, and he shouted, "Cai Yue, what''s going on here? Don''t tell me that that brat really has a billion earth essence crystals!"


    Cai Yue smiled at Wu Jiantong and said, "Young Master Ye indeed has a billion earth essence crystals on his, without any problem at all! If Young Master Wu has set your mind on the Starmoon Sword, you can carry on bidding, I''ll invite Young Master Ye out again. But Young Master Ye said to me earlier that this Starmoon Sword, he''s determined to get it. Even if it''s two billion, he''ll accompany right till the end."


    Wu Jiantong''s expression became extremely ugly. His face had a fiery-hot feeling.


    He thought that Ye Yuan was someone who had not seen the world. He didn''t expect that Ye Yuan was really wealthy!


    Two billion!


    Tsk tsk, these words were said domineeringly!


    Even their family clan''s Phaseless Realm elders also did not dare say to be able to take out two billion earth essence crystals casually!


    A puny little Divine Traversing Realm was actually able to take out such an astronomical figure of earth essence crystals. Too scary.


    "Let''s go!"


    At this auction venue, they were all people with statuses. How could Wu Jiantong still have the face to stay on?


    He doubted that Ye Yuan did not have money. The result was that Ye Yuan was richer than himself.


    "Hang on! Young Master Wu bought the Three-Lives Stone. Please settle the earth essence crystals before leaving," Cai Yue said coolly.


    Wu Jiantong''s figure froze, and he could only stop.


    The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was not what their puny little Wu Family could afford to provoke.


    It was just that due to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land being a Rank Nine Holy Land did the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company not send a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse to hold down the fort.


    A distinguished Rank One Holy Land, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s Dao Profound Realm powerhouses were considerable.


    Helpless, Wu Jiantong toughened his scalp and settled the bill before bringing the Three-Lives Stone and leaving.


    But this Wu Family really had people who were knowledgeable about goods. When Wu Jianton took the Three-Lives Stone for the Wu Family''s Family Head to see, he was immediately hurled with a torrent of abuse on the spot.


    Using 60 million earth essence crystals to buy such a gray product and he actually had the nerve to take it out!


    Of course, this was the afterword.


    At present, Ye Yuan was currently in the hidden chamber. The Starmoon Sword was lying quietly on the sword rack. Ye Yuan looked intently at it and was silent for a long time.


    No idea how long had passed either, then Ye Yuan suddenly heaved a sigh and went forward to lightly caress the sword body, saying to the Starmoon Sword, "Old partner, long time no see. Can you still recognize me?"

 792 Black Metal Lumps Transformation

    Seemingly sensing something, the Starmoon Sword on the sword rack emitted a humming, quivering sound.


    The spirituality of a holy artifact was even stronger than a profound artifact. Even if Ye Yuan already changed his appearance presently, it still recognized that former owner.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly, holding the Starmoon Sword in his hand.


    Meeting again, waves of melancholy suffused in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Starmoon Sword was together with him for 200 years. But compared to the Limitless Cauldron, the Starmoon Sword was neglected too much by him.


    Seeing the Starmoon Sword again currently, Ye Yuan actually had an indescribable sense of familiarity. Scenes of the bygone days rolled around inside Ye Yuan''s mind as if it was yesterday.


    "Old partner, let''s strive together to return to the peak, and roam the Divine Realm unobstructed!"


    The dark cloud around Ye Yuan''s body was swept away cleanly. What replaced it was a resolve to press forward with an indomitable will.


    The Starmoon Sword emitted waves of light humming sounds. Clearly, it was replying Ye Yuan''s heroic declaration.


    Ye Yuan inspected the Starmoon Sword for a bit and discovered that it was indeed damaged severely. He did not have many accomplishments in the path of artifact refining. Wanting to let the Starmoon Sword return to its peak state, he still had to find an artifact refining grandmaster.


    But even if it was damaged so seriously, the Starmoon Sword was also more than just a level higher than the Xuanying Sword.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s degree of familiarity with the Starmoon Sword was completely not what other weapons could compare to.


    Falling Flower Floating Zero was created by Ye Yuan using the Starmoon Sword.


    ...


    Returning to his residence, Ye Yuan chose to enter closed-seclusion right away.


    The residences were all provided for by the holy land. The security was strict. Ye Yuan was not worried that there would be people casting greedy eyes on his Starmoon Sword either.


    His mind stirred, and Ye Yuan entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    The black metal chunk suspended quietly in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan''s divine sense swept over towards the black metal chunk. The golden characters in his sea of consciousness indeed had a reaction.


    Previously, Ye Yuan just extend his divine sense casually and did not do it seriously.


    Experiencing it carefully at this very moment, he discovered that the golden characters'' strange activities were not as intense as he imagined.


    "Uh �� There seems to be a kind of resonance. But what on earth is this sort of resonance? Apart from this, the black metal lump doesn''t seem to have any special aspect at all."


    Sensing for quite a while, Ye Yuan was rather dispirited too. Because the function of this black metal lump did not seem to be as big as imagined.


    Could it be that spending these 10 million earth essence crystals were really a blunder?


    Ye Yuan obviously would not be resigned to it. After such a long time, he finally had a chance to explore the profound mysteries of the golden characters. How could he be willing to let it slip by?


    "Since there''s no reaction, I''ll refine you! I want to take a look at just what the hell you are!"


    But the refining process was not as easy as Ye Yuan imagined.


    This black metal lump was clearly not an ordinary item. Ye Yuan expended an entire day''s time and only refined one-tenth.


    At the rate of this speed, he could forget about refining finish before the competition started.


    But Ye Yuan did not lack patience. The second day, he refined another one-tenth. The black metal lump still did not have any reaction.


    The third day, then the fourth day. When it reached the fifth day, the black metal lump finally had some transformation!


    This transformation made Ye Yuan wildly ecstatic!


    On the fifth day, Ye Yuan''s rate of progress already refined close to half. On the black metal lump, it actually shed off a piece, a hint of gold color emerging!


    This hint of gold looked like some sort of character stroke. Ye Yuan cross-referenced this to the golden characters in his sea of consciousness for a bit and discovered that there were quite a few characters that matched that hint of character stroke.


    "Could it be that recorded on this black metal lump is precisely this sort of golden characters? I didn''t notice before this, but looking at it now, this black metal lump seems rather like a cauldron''s fragment piece! Is it possible that �� this is a Deity Realm powerhouse''s medicinal cauldron''s fragment piece?" Ye Yuan guessed boldly.


    The sixth day, the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition was finally starting!


    The qualifying system of the grand finals was very exaggerated. But it also significantly tested genuine strength.


    A total of 60 contenders organized from No. 1 to No. 60. Every day, they would carry out three rounds of showdown. The opponents for each confrontation would be different, all the way until you finish facing off with all the opponents!


    Which was also to say that each person would undergo a match with the other 59 contestants!


    Finally, according to the number of victories, it would decide the rankings!


    These grand finals would last for 20 day''s time.


    This kind of qualifying system did not permit any bit of choosing the easy way. The contestants must go all out for each match before they could obtain a better rank.


    When Pei Wenqiang saw Ye Yuan, the smile on his face was extremely odd.


    "I heard that you made that Wu Family''s cocky brat eat a huge loss. Haha, really satisfying! That punk had long rubbed me the wrong way! The moment I recall Wu Jianqing''s horse face, I have unspeakable satisfaction in my heart! Wu Jiantong that brat doesn''t know that you have a gold token and actually even dared to doubt you. Hahaha, really killing me!"


    Pei Wenqiang had seen before Ye Yuan''s hold token. At that time, he was frightened badly too.


    This thing was completely not what earth essence crystals were able to measure. What was laughable was that Wu Jiantong actually even dared to doubt Ye Yuan''s ability to pay.


    Served him right to eat a loss!


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Enough nonsense. Are our numbers issued yet?"


    Pei Wenqiang did not mind either, saying with a laugh, "Out already. You''re No. 7. Tang Fan is No. 23. Mu Yun is No. 51."


    This number was randomly pulled. There was no good or bad as well. Either way, no matter what, they would run into every opponent.


    Furthermore, the grand finals this time, every last one of them was not mediocre. Seems like whoever the opponent was did not matter.


    "No. 7, seems pretty good. During which match will I run into that Nalan Chu?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "Heh, helped you take a look long ago. You will only encounter him at the 42nd match. But don''t lower your guard either. Before him, there are also quite a few formidable foes. You have to pay attention," Pei Wenqiang seemed to have long known Ye Yuan''s thoughts and reminded him.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and was not surprised about this.


    Rendezvousing with Tang Fan, Mu Yun, and the rest, this group of people gathered at the Crimson Afterglow Plaza.


    The Crimson Afterglow Plaza was situated at the central zone of the holy land. The total area occupied was extremely vast.


    The selection competition this time was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s unprecedented grand event and also the stage for the holy land''s various major families'' contest of strength. Therefore, the attention aroused was naturally very extensive too.


    "First Elder, what significance does Holy Lord organizing this selection competition this time have? In my view, Nalan Chu is most assuredly the number one. What need is there still for such a competition?"


    "Dao Profound Realm powerhouses can already peep into heaven''s secrets on the sly. How can the Holy Lord''s thoughts be what we''re able to speculate? Nalan Chu is indeed the holy land''s hard to come by in a thousand years genius. But to say that he''s definitely number one, I beg to differ. The competition this time selected quite a few interesting little fellows!"


    "No way, right? Nalan Chu''s strength is fully worthy of number one in the holy land. Even Wu Jiantong is a great deal worse than him. Among the other division competition zones selected, there is actually someone who can have a showdown with him?"


    "Heh heh, you just see later on!"


    The competition had yet to begin, but the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s First Elder brimmed with confidence toward the competition this time.

 793 Two Consecutive Wins!

    At the holy land camp''s side, Wu Jiantong and another genius were currently whispering to each other.


    "Wu Xi, you''re facing Ye Yuan in your third match today. Deal a vicious blow for me and punish this brat properly! Although the competition forbids killing, crippling him and making him withdraw from the competition of his own accord are not a problem!" Wu Jiantong said coldly.


    This Wu Xi was another contestant on the holy land''s side. Similarly Ninth Level Boundless, he was the closest with Wu Jiantong.


    Speaking of this, iit was coincidental too; a total of three rounds of competition was held today, and Ye Yuan''s opponent in the third round was this Wu Xi.


    So Wu Jiantong went to find him before the competition even started.


    The six contestants taking part in the competition on the holy land''s side were all Ninth Level Boundless. Their strength swept away the other division competition zones.


    Ye City''s side, in contrast, the line up looked rather pitiful.


    Yang Wenmiao, who had the highest cultivation realm, was also merely just Eighth Level Boundless. As for Ye Yuan, he was just Eighth Level Divine Traversing.


    This kind of strength was completely too inferior to show in public in many people''s view.


    Wu Xi''s eyebrows jumped, and he laughed in spite of himself as he said, "That Divine Traversing Realm brat? You passed by that Starmoon Sword by a narrow margin all thanks to that brat, right? Huhu, this boy also doesn''t have any eyesight, to actually dare offend Brother Jiantong."


    Wu Jiantong''s face turned black, and he said, "Stop talking about such useless stuff. Are you helping this favor or not? After the deed is done, I''ll gift you a Spirit Enlightening Pill!"


    Wu Xi was stunned, then was immediately pleasantly surprised as he said, "Brother Jiantong is putting in blood capital this time! Alright then, since Brother Jiantong already said it like this, I''ll naturally accept deferentially than to decline courteously!"


    Boundless Realm breaking through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm was likewise an extremely hard to cross threshold.


    This was a kind of qualitative leap from the Middle Three Realms to the Upper Three Realms.


    The Upper Three Realms focused more on comprehension towards the Dao. It had exceedingly high requirements towards a martial artist''s own talent.


    After reaching the Upper Three Realms, each step that a martial artist advanced would also become even harder to stride forward.


    This Spirit Enlightening Pill was precisely a miracle panacea to help martial artists break through the Middle Three Realms bottleneck and reach the Heaven Enlightenment Realm.


    This Spirit Enlightening Pill''s benefit was somewhat different from the other medicinal pills.


    Martial artists lacking in talent could break through the threshold of Heaven Enlightenment Realm through consuming Spirit Enlightening Pills many times to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.


    But this Spirit Enlightening Pill, even to the holy land''s various major families, it was an extremely rare item too, and not obtainable at will.


    Even though it was only a Tier 6 medicinal pill, the degree of its scarcity was not much lower than the Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill which Pei Wenqiang obtained previously.


    Therefore, in order to thorough cripple Ye Yuan this time, Wu Jiantong had indeed poured in blood capital.


    ...


    The competition commenced. The opponent for Ye Yuan''s first match was an Eighth Level Boundless hailing from the mapleforest competition zone.


    Running into a Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan in the first match, that Eighth Level Boundless was naturally thrilled in his heart.


    "Looks like the competition this time, my luck is pretty good running into you, the sole Divine Traversing Realm in the first match, giving me an auspicious start!" after going up to the stage, that Eighth Level Boundless said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at his opponent with a smile that wasn''t a smile, and then he said to the Starmoon Sword in his embrace, "Old partner, let''s go!"


    A Myriad Rain Sword Blades was unleashed. The opponent''s expression changed abruptly!


    Not just the opponent, the audience spectating beneath the stage were all struck dumb with amazement.


    "T-T-That is a supreme true intent! Oh my God, that is a supreme true intent! This Divine Traversing Realm actually comprehended a supreme true intent!"


    "No wonder a Divine Traversing Realm can charge into the grand finals! Turns out that he comprehended a supreme true intent!"


    "Also, that sword in his hand, that is a holy artifact, as if it was born inherently for his sword intent! Under the cooperation of the two, the might of this move is more than a level stronger!"


    Beneath the stage was full of exclamations. A Divine Traversing Realm who comprehended a supreme true intent was sufficient to cause a sensation.


    The most pitiful one was Ye Yuan''s opponent. He completely did not foresee the power of Ye Yuan''s move. Caught unprepared, he was blasted down the arena directly by Ye Yuan''s one sword.


    It was also that his cultivation realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. Otherwise, this sword could absolutely beat him until he was full of holes.


    But wielding the Starmoon Sword in his hand, it had indeed played a huge augmenting effect on Ye Yuan''s supreme true intent.


    If it were using the Xuanying Sword to display this move, it absolutely would not cause such a threat to the other party.


    One move finished off the opponent neat and tidily.


    "Ye Yuan wins!"


    The judge announced the results immediately.


    On the high platform, First Elder''s expression also became extremely fascinating.


    "Hahaha, I truly didn''t expect that apart from Nalan Chu, there is still someone able to comprehend a supreme true intent! Furthermore, it looks like the time he comprehended the supreme true intent is already not that short. This Divine Traversing Realm boy, interesting! Interesting!"


    After Ye Yuan descended the stage, Pei Wenqiang looked at him with a bitter smile on his face as he grumbled, "You, this punk, hid the truth from me so bitterly! I really didn''t think that you actually already comprehended a supreme true intent! No wonder you dared to utter that sort of big talk!"


    Yang Sen was also endlessly surprised and bewildered at the side. When Ye Yuan was at the Ye City division zone, he actually concealed his strength the entire time!


    And Pei Wenqiang knew Ye Yuan for such a long time and really had not seen Ye Yuan display a supreme true intent before.


    Ye Yuan''s sword immediately aroused substantial attention.


    Before this, he might be the least favored among all of the contestants. But the power of this one sword let everyone see his might clearly.


    Right then, the voice of the judges sounded out on the platforms from time to time.


    "Nalan Chu wins!"


    "Wu Jiantong wins!"


    "Wu Xi wins!"


    ...


    Nalan Chu these people''s strengths belonged to the first-tier. As long as the opponent''s strength was not too powerful, finishing off the opponent was also something effortless.


    But compared to Ye Yuan, their speed was still slightly slower by a bit.


    When they heard that the sole Divine Traversing Realm contestant this time actually knew a supreme true intent, their expressions became fascinating one by one.


    Wu Xi suddenly discovered that this Spirit Enlightening Pill did not seem to be too easy to get!


    His concepts comprehension was very high. But it was still a little off from comprehending a supreme true intent.


    And just this ''a little,'' was a nigh-insurmountable chasm!


    Among them, only Nalan Chu alone crossed over this chasm.


    "Scared of what? Even if he comprehended a supreme true intent, he''s also merely just a Divine Traversing Realm! With your strength, you''re absolutely able to defeat him. My promise from before still stands!" Wu Jiantong said to Wu Xi in a low voice.


    After Wu Xi mused for a moment, he nodded his head and said, "Okay!"


    The reason why he agreed to Wu Jiantong was that he was jealous!


    In order to comprehend a supreme true intent, Wu Xu expended a huge price. But until now, he kept failing to comprehend as well.


    Forget about comprehending, his concepts comprehension was even a little worse compared to Wu Jiantong.


    But a measly little Divine Traversing Realm martial artist? What right did he have to comprehend a supreme true intent?


    "This punk, I must cripple him!" Wu Xu said secretly.


    After all the matches in the first round were done, they rested for two hours, then started the second round of matches.


    Ye Yuan''s opponent this time was still an Eighth Level Boundless!


    Without the least bit of suspense, Ye Yuan blasted his opponent down the platform neat and tidily once more with a Myriad Rain Sword Blades.


    Two consecutive wins!

 794 Unfair Treatmen

    Consecutively instant-killing two Eighth Level Boundless Realms, Ye Yuan''s strength was already indisputable.


    Previously, those people who thought that Ye Yuan was trying his luck all shut their mouths up sensibly at this time.


    Just based on these two battles, Ye Yuan entered the ranks of the first-group well-deservingly.


    After two matches, Ye Yuan''s third match was particularly in the limelight.


    Wu Xi was a well-worthy strong foe of the first group. Facing Ye Yuan, this dark horse, just who would win and who would lose became the third round''s focal battle.


    Wu Xi was a top 10 strong contender. If Ye Yuan beat Wu Xi, he would become this competition''s greatest dark horse and absolutely had the strength to charge into the top 10.


    If Ye Yuan was defeated, that his strength could only wander between the first-group and second-group. He would probably not draw much attention in the competition afterward either.


    "Brother Ye, after you obtained the Starmoon Sword, it''s simply adding wings to a tiger! In my view, there''s no problem at all with you defeating Wu Xi!" Mu Yun said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    The first two rounds, Mu Yun won one and lost one. The opening was also considered barely satisfactory.


    To Mu Yun, this battle result was still considered passable. Facing a bunch of Seventh and Eighth Level Boundless Realm experts, he, a Sixth Level Boundless could win one and lose one was already very not easy.


    Rather, it was Tang Fan''s prior two battle results that were not bad, likewise obtaining a battle result of two consecutive wins.


    His quick-sword, other people really could not adapt to it in a short time.


    Furthermore, under Ye Yuan''s guidance, his quick-sword improved by leaps and bounds. This also became one of his capital to keep a foothold.


    "Ye Yuan, this third match, you got to be a little careful. This Wu Xi''s relationship is the closest to Wu Jiantong. They might come up with some schemes," Pei Wenqiang warned.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "I won''t offend people unless I''m offended. If I''m offended, I definitely won''t let people off!"


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of offending people. But the moment he went up to the stage, he sensed that faintly discernible killing intent coming from Wu Xi there.


    "I heard that you actually comprehended a supreme true intent at your young age. You really broadened this Wu''s horizons! Today, let this Wu have a taste of the prowess of a supreme true intent. However, fists and kicks are mute. You have to be careful," Wu Xi said with a gleeful smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Like this, huh? Then you have to be careful. My sword intent, I can''t even control it myself at times!"


    Wu Xi''s face turned black when he heard that. This punk actually dared to threaten him!


    "Is that so? Then I want to see just how formidable your sword intent is!"


    Wu Xi''s tone became cold, resting his hand on his sword, and pouncing forward!


    He specifically researched Ye Yuan''s previous two matches before and still had some understanding towards Ye Yuan''s moves.


    The might of Myriad Rain Sword Blades was indeed very powerful. Therefore, Wu Xi did not plan to give Ye Yuan the chance to unleash this move.


    He planned to use his cultivation realm to forcefully exhaust Ye Yuan completely!


    Yet, the moment both parties came into contact, Wu Xi''s heart plummeted.


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique was extremely bizarre. He clearly only had a Divine Traversing Realm strength, but his speed was actually even half a level faster than him!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s Starmoon Sword was very sharp. Just exchanging blows two to three times and the profound artifact longsword in Wu Xi''s hands actually had a feeling of being unable to withstand it!


    This was still under the support of his thick essence energy. If it were swapped to a strength similar to Ye Yuan''s, the profound artifact longsword in his hand would likely be chopped in half already at this time.


    How could he know that even though the Starmoon Sword was only a low-grade holy artifact right now, the material quality of the Starmoon Sword was a top-tier holy artifact''s material quality?


    Even if the inscribed array formations were already destroyed, Starmoon Sword''s sharpness was far from what a profound artifact could compare to.


    The audience beneath the stage was really unable to imagine that an Eighth Level Divine Traversing martial artist was actually overpowering a Ninth Level Boundless genius and pummeling him!


    Originally, everyone thought that it was a battle well-matched in strength. At this time, a one-sided situation actually emerged.


    Wu Xi''s thick essence energy actually did not have the least bit of use in front of Ye Yuan. Every move and stance was overpowered by Ye Yuan. It was really aggrieving.


    Clank!


    A clear and distinct sound. The longsword in Wu Xi''s hand actually snapped into two!


    Without a weapon in his hand, Wu Xi''s declining momentum immediately became even more evident.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not let go of this chance, immediately displaying the Thousand Flowing Petals!


    If talking about which move among Ye Yuan''s sword moves acquired the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword''s true essence most of all, it was undoubtedly this move, the Thousand Flowing Petals.


    Coupled with the Starmoon Sword to execute it, the might of this move doubled!


    In such an arena battle, the Thousand Flowing Petals made it all the more nowhere for people to run!


    The violent floating petals continuously eroded Wu Xi''s defensive ring. Finally, the floating petals breached Wu Xi''s protective essence energy and the piercingly cold sword intent sliced him until he was covered with wounds all over his body.


    "Ye Yuan wins!"


    Wu Xi''s strength was very formidable. This battle, Ye Yuan expended quite a bit of energy and time. After Wu Jiantong defeated his opponent, he had long come to this platform side, wanting to watch the appearance of Ye Yuan being crippled.


    But sadly, what he saw was the Wu Xi covered in wounds all over.


    "Elder Qin, this battle is unfair! The weapon in Ye Yuan''s hand is a holy artifact! Wu Xi is unable to unleash his proper strength at all! Him using a holy artifact against his opponents is not fair to everybody!" Wu Jiantong suddenly said to that judge.


    This Elder Qin was a Phaseless Realm expert. The battle earlier, he naturally took it into his sights.


    Ye Yuan being able to obtain victory, a very large extent was taking advantage of his weapon. Wu Jiantong''s words did not seem to be wrong, either.


    For a moment, Elder Qin actually became hesitant.


    Holy artifacts to those major family clans were not some rare items. But to these young geniuses, it was very hard to come by.


    Other than Ye Yuan, there was no one qualified to use holy artifacts to face their opponents in this competition at all.


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan was the special one among these people!


    But the problem was, there was no relevant rule prior to this competition, saying that contestants could not use holy artifacts.


    Right then, First Elder''s stately voice suddenly came from above the high platform, "The holy land organizing the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time, the objective is for the sake of selecting young geniuses with potential. Using holy artifacts indeed infringes upon this original intention. It does make it unfair. Hence, from the next match onwards, Ye Yuan is not to employ the holy artifact against his opponents."


    The moment these words were uttered, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing slightly.


    This sort of provisional rule, the targeting was too obvious.


    Actually, not just Ye Yuan, the faces of everyone spectating all revealed looks of sympathy.


    Actually, everyone all knew that even though holy artifacts were powerful, it needed the martial artist to unleash its power too.


    A Divine Traversing Realm martial artist being able to utilize a holy artifact to this sort of extent in itself was extremely seldom-seen.


    If it were another person, even if he were given the Starmoon Sword, he still would not be able to unleash one-tenth of Ye Yuan''s ability.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm in itself was lower than all the contestants. Therefore, this rule actually made many people''s hearts uncomfortable.


    But these words were personally said by the holy land''s First Elder. Who would dare to refute?


    The First Elder''s position in the holy land was extremely high. It could be said to be the number one person under the Holy Lord.


    The grand meet this time, he was entirely in charge of it.


    Even though this sort of provisional rule was inappropriate, no one dared to say anything as well. Who asked the selection competition this time to be organized by them?

 795 Fulfilling

    "First Elder, didn''t you say that you think very highly of this Ye Yuan? Why ��"


    First Elder smiled and said, "It''s precisely because I think highly of Ye Yuan that I forbid him from using a holy artifact. Didn''t you notice that after Ye Yuan used a holy artifact, his strength is already a great deal stronger compared to those so-called geniuses? Moreover, this boy didn''t bring out his full strength at all! I banned him from using a holy artifact because I wanted to take a look at his true strength!"


    That elder could not help being stunned. Already powerful to such an extent and he actually had not brought out all of his strength yet?


    Just what were this Ye Yuan''s limits?


    "First Elder, since it''s forbidden to use holy artifacts, then should Ye Yuan''s previous battle results be nullified or not?"


    When Wu Jiantong saw the First Elder actually personally made a move to restrict Ye Yuan, not mentioning how excited he was, he immediately climbed up along the pole, wanting to annul Ye Yuan''s previous battle results.


    "Previously was the holy land''s issue. Therefore, Ye Yuan''s battle results are valid. This rule will start implementation from the next match!" First Elder''s voice sounded out once more.


    Actually, not that the holy land did not consider about the matter of using holy artifacts. But Boundless Realm martial artists were completely unable to unleash the might of a holy artifact.


    Even if they used holy artifacts, the augmentation towards their strength was also very limited.


    Take Wu Jiantong for example, even if he used the Wu Family''s holy artifact, it was also not possible to beat Nalan Chu. Hence, that was why the holy land did not target holy artifacts and implement restrictions.


    But Ye Yuan''s appearance completely shattered this kind of situation. This also forced First Elder to change the rules impromptu.


    Facing this kind of unfair treatment, Yang Sen''s and Pei Wenqiang''s faces both revealed looks of refusal to comply.


    But First Elder''s position was too high. They totally did not dare to refute and also dared to feel indignant but did not dare to speak up.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan himself who appeared quite calm.


    He looked at those few vague and insubstantial figures on the high platform and said coolly, "Whatever makes you happy."


    Finished talking, he put away the Starmoon Sword and directly left the competition venue.


    Ye Yuan''s battles on the first day ended with complete victories for the three matches like this.


    Ye Yuan domineeringly charging into the first-group was also out of everyone''s expectations.


    The first day''s three rounds of competition all ended. But the contestants who won all three matches were scanty few; there were only five people!


    The rest, the vast majority all had wins and losses. It could be seen that everyone''s strength were all very close.


    Beside the competition venue, there was a light screen formed using an array formation. After each round, everyone''s battle results would be displayed on the light screen.


    Nalan Chu''s name was impressively ranked at first place.


    Right after Nalan Chu were respectively Li Zongtao, Wu Jiantong, Zhang Tianyi, as well as Ye Yuan.


    These five people all won the three matches on the first day fully and were tied at first place.


    It was just that Ye Yuan expended too much time in the third battle, so he was ranked in the last place.


    Of course, the first day''s ranking list did not have much significance. Along with the passing of time, this ranking list would undergo tremendous changes.


    Ye Yuan did not have the spare time to worry about these. After returning to his residence, Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda immediately and continued refining the black metal lump.


    Being able to pry into the mysteries of the golden characters, Ye Yuan was filled with vigor right now.


    Ye Yuan''s rate of progress in refining the black metal lump today seemed to be much faster than before. Even though it was only one night, he actually refined one-tenth too.


    At the rate of this progress, Ye Yuan still needed five day''s time to be able to thoroughly refine it completely.


    Ye Yuan very much wanted to see what kind of transformation would happen to the golden characters at that time.


    The competition in the following few days did not pose much of a challenge to Ye Yuan. Three consecutive days, Ye Yuan won all three matches completely.


    After three days, Ye Yuan continued to firmly occupy the position in the first group on the ranking list with the battle result of nine complete victories.


    While at this time, the contestants that had complete victories on the ranking list were only left with four people.


    Li Zongtao ran into a powerful foe, Nalan Chu, on the third day''s battle. In the midst of fighting bitterly for over a hundred rounds, he was defeated in the end.


    But to be able to force Nalan Chu to such a plight, Li Zongtao''s strength also obtained everyone''s affirmation.


    Of course, apart from Ye Yuan, the one receiving the most attention was still Zhang Tianyi!


    This Zhang Tianyi was the same as Ye Yuan; he was also from other division competition zone.


    During these three days of matches, Zhang Tianyi repeatedly defeated powerful adversaries and kept on maintaining complete victories. His fame even overshadowed Ye Yuan.


    Even though Ye Yuan also maintained complete victories, he did not run into any genuinely formidable foe in these three days.


    But the fourth day''s competition, Ye Yuan encountered the most tenacious obstacle since the start of the competition.


    The first battle on the fourth day, Ye Yuan ran into a genius called Han Feng!


    He, Zhang Tianyi, and Ye Yuan were the same; there were similarly from other division competition zones. But unfortunately, he ran into Nalan Chu on the first day. Hence, that was why he was not tied in the first place.


    Even though he lost in the end, he and Nalan Chu battled for 200 rounds; even more formidable than Li Zongtao!


    "Ye Yuan, hope that you won''t disappoint me! I want to use you to sharpen the saber in my hand!" Right when he saw Ye Yuan, Han Feng released a powerful fighting intent.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I won''t let you down!"


    When the fight started, Ye Yuan felt that power coming from head-on.


    This Han Feng''s strength was indeed absurdly daunting.


    This Han Feng''s comprehension towards saber intent infinitely approached supreme true intent.


    "This Han Feng seems to be even stronger than when fighting Nalan Chu! This time, Ye Yuan ran into a tough character. You never know, his momentum of consecutive wins might come to an end here!"


    "Terrifying fellow. This blade after blade, the imposing momentum is overwhelming! Ye Yuan being able to receive such a berserk saber intent is also really not easy! He''s only Divine Traversing Realm. Wait until he breaks through to Boundless Realm, he''ll likely be invincible in the same rank. Even Nalan Chu might not be his match."


    "Yeah. This Ye Yuan was born at the wrong time. If I give him another one or two year''s time, he''ll absolutely have the strength to have a showdown with Nalan Chu. Sadly, his present cultivation realm is too low."


    "En? No, wait! You guys, look! Han Feng �� seems to have broken through! He �� He comprehended the elementary form of a supreme true intent!"


    All of a sudden, someone exclaimed.


    Han Feng''s saber momentum was more fearsome than the last. The final blade, Han Feng actually broke through the fetters and achieved a supreme true intent!


    One saber out, and there was an aura of cleaving the world into two halves.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected this. Facing this move with an irresistible force, Ye Yuan''s longsword pointed. Immediately, the lands changed color!


    An intangible sword intent flooded the entire platform as if the world was all sword intent!


    The audience surrounding and watching beneath the stage, their expression changed again and again.


    This battle was truly one wave higher than the former!


    They originally thought that Ye Yuan lost for sure, but did not expect that Ye Yuan still had an even stronger move!


    "Rending the Sky!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword being released, it immediately utterly obliterated the supreme saber intent which Han Feng condensed and formed.


    The whole audience was dead silent, all waiting for Han Feng''s counteroffensive to regain lost ground once more.


    But no one could have expected for Han Feng to suddenly cup his fists at Ye Yuan and said, "Many thanks for Brother Ye helping me achieve my aim! Han Feng concedes! With Brother Ye''s strength, even if you don''t borrow the power of a holy artifact, it''s also sufficient to have a showdown with Nalan Chu!"


    Everyone was taken aback from shock. Could it be that Ye Yuan intentionally guided Han Feng previously, and his action assisted Han Feng''s comprehension of a supreme true intent?

 796 Divine Souls Strange Transformation!

    "This Ye Yuan is simply too strong!"


    "Him comprehending a supreme true intent is absolutely not one or two days already. His comprehension in the supreme true intent is much stronger compared to Nalan Chu!"


    "Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan, and Han Feng. This competition this time, there are actually already three genius youths who comprehended a supreme true intent!"


    "My God, how can there be a monster like this? He, a Divine Traversing Realm, actually guided others to comprehend a supreme true intent!"


    When everyone regained their senses, waves of marveling that feat erupted.


    If Ye Yuan used Rending the Sky early on, he could have defeated Han Feng long ago.


    But Ye Yuan saw through that Han Feng was just a step away from comprehending a supreme true intent. Hence, he willingly served as Han Feng''s sharpening stone, guiding skillfully and patiently in the battle, letting the other party stride out this most critical step!


    What made everyone speechless was that after Han Feng comprehended the supreme true intent, he was actually still defeated by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s might could be seen at a glance.


    Previously, everyone all thought that Ye Yuan was taking advantage of his weapon. But now, they finally knew just how formidable Ye Yuan''s strength was.


    Just using the Xuanying Sword, Ye Yuan similarly could sit firmly in the first group.


    "Hahaha, what did I say, this brat indeed concealed his strength! Tsk tsk, looking at it, his supreme true intent has probably reached the third-stage of supreme true intent already, maybe even fourth-stage! By the time his cultivation realm reaches the Dao Profound Realm, he can absolutely become a Divine King powerhouse!" on the high platform, First Elder said with a roaring laugh.


    "First Elder''s discerning eyes are akin to burning torches! This Ye Yuan is indeed a peerless genius hard to encounter in a thousand years! It''s just ��" that elder said rather hesitantly.


    "It''s just what?" First Elder said curiously.


    "It''s just that a genius like this, can our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land accommodate him? Furthermore �� previously, in order to make him exhibit his true strength, you already offended him!"


    "This ��" First Elder was stunned and was actually at somewhat of a loss on what to do.


    After comprehending the elementary form of a supreme true intent, it was only taking the first step to comprehending a supreme true intent, which was also the first-stage.


    Supreme true intents were likewise divided from rank one to rank nine based on the degree of comprehension.


    A rank nine supreme true intent was also called a perfect supreme true intent!


    Once comprehension succeeded, the day of being known as a Divine King powerhouse was right around the corner.


    If one comprehended the first-stage, they would have very high hopes of breaking through to the Dao Profound Realm!


    About Ye Yuan''s Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword, although he only created four stances of sword moves, he actually already comprehended to the fifth-stage of supreme true intent.


    First Elder''s evaluation of Ye Yuan was still a little conservative.


    After this battle, Ye Yuan''s strength also obtained everybody''s recognition.


    He was regarded as a monster even more freakish than Nalan Chu. He was a peerless genius with the capital to rival Nalan Chu at the Divine Traversing Realm.


    Starting from this day, Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu''s showdown also became a highly-anticipated fight.


    On the fourth day, Ye Yuan still won three battles completely. With the flawless victory battle results of twelve wins, he continued to be tied at first place with Nalan Chu and the rest.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s refinement of the black metal lump also reached the final juncture!


    After the fifth day''s competition, Ye Yuan carried out the final refinement.


    Finally, when the black metal lump was completely refined finish, the gold mark on the black metal lump finally revealed its original look!


    Ye Yuan mind buzzed. The golden characters in his sea of consciousness formed an intense resonance with the black metal lump!


    Ye Yuan discovered that on this black metal lump actually only had three characters. And out of these three characters, there were two characters among the golden characters.


    The other one, Ye Yuan searched among the golden characters, but he did not find it.


    Ye Yuan had already visualized these golden characters for a number of years. But these few years, his understanding of these golden characters, the progress was extremely slow.


    These golden characters, each one contained extremely profound maxims of Great Dao. Ye Yuan kept failing to find the correct approach.


    After refining the black metal lump this time, Ye Yuan actually sensed a trace of the lingering charm of the Dao from this intense resonance!


    Even though it was just a tiny bit, it was very clear!


    This sort of feeling could not be expressed using words. But Ye Yuan''s understanding towards these two characters deepened that tiny trace.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s mind became more agile as luck hit, a feeling of needing to get it out of his chest.


    "Mou ��"


    Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body and spat out a syllable.


    The moment the syllable came out, the essence energy sea within Ye Yuan''s body was instantly drained, his entire person falling into an exhausted state.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that his divine soul was actually continuously strengthening!


    Although it was not too obvious, it was indeed truly becoming stronger!


    "This �� What''s going on?"


    Ye Yuan did not care about his body''s exhaustion at all, his entire person in a kind of immense shock state.


    He was already at the Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm at present, and his divine soul had long reached the boundary of Alchemy Sovereign perfection and had no way of breaking through anymore.


    For him to want to have some sort of breakthrough in the divine soul, he had to break through to the Boundless Realm first.


    But now, his divine soul was actually strengthening once more. This was simply something beyond comprehension!


    Ye Yuan did not sense the arrival of soul tribulation, which was also to say that his divine soul did not break through to the Alchemy Ancestor level.


    He was truly unable to imagine that his divine soul was actually able to become even stronger on the foundation of perfection!


    Ye Yuan sensed his own divine soul and was shocked to his core. He only shouted a syllable, and his divine soul actually broke through the Alchemy Sovereign perfection level and advanced once more.


    Then if he shouted again, would his divine soul be able to improve a step further or not?


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, clearly recalling something, as he muttered to himself, "Father said before at that time, his divine soul already surpassed Alchemy Emperor, but he did not break through to the Deity Realm. Could it be that my current situation is the exact same as his back then? If the divine soul can still have some advancement, even if I don''t use some powerful alchemy technique, I can also leap realms to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills! These golden characters were definitely words written by a Deity Realm powerhouse! Deity Realm experts'' means are simply inconceivable, to actually be able to use words to describe the Heavenly Dao and strengthen the divine soul, breaking through the shackles!"


    The more it was so, the more intense Ye Yuan''s desire toward the Deity Realm was!


    When Ji Zhengyang obtained this Medicine God''s Soul Canon back then, he was already at the peak Alchemy Emperor Realm. Even if he only understood a little bit, it also let him refine out a half-step divine pill.


    Ye Yuan was currently still at the Divine Traversing Realm. By the time he cultivated to the peak Alchemy Emperor anew, how powerful would his divine soul be?


    At that time, could he refine out a genuine divine pill or not?


    The previous life, Ye Yuan''s lifetime aspiration was to refine a divine pill. But even if he was hailed as the genius most likely to reach the Deity Realm, this step was still remotely far.


    But this life, he really had hope!


    Once this thought popped up, Ye Yuan wanted to shout out that syllable once more without delay.


    He swallowed an essence energy restoring medicinal pill in one mouthful and started to recuperate. Very soon, he recovered to his peak state.


    "Mou ��"


    Ye Yuan shouted out this syllable once more. As expected, his divine soul strengthened a tiny bit once more. But this time, his divine soul actually had a tearing pain.

 797 Evenly-Matched Showdown

    "Hiss ��"


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath in pain. The agony of the divine soul tearing was clearly awful.


    "Looks like the breakthrough just now already reached the limits. Forcefully reciting this syllable anymore, and the divine soul will be at risk of ripping because of strengthening too quickly. Looks like wanting to shout out this syllable once more, I must consolidate my divine soul a little."


    Ye Yuan understood the divine soul very well and discovered the issue behind it very quickly.


    The divine soul strengthening too quickly was like being ripped apart by a powerful force. There would naturally be this kind of agonizing feeling.


    As long as Ye Yuan consolidated the divine soul well, he could continue strengthening the divine soul through this syllable.


    Knowing the details in it, Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to behave recklessly anymore. After swallowing several divine soul nourishing medicinal pills, he started consolidating the divine soul.


    ...


    The following few days, Ye Yuan continued to advance triumphantly and had yet to taste any defeat.


    After 13 days, the ones on the ranking list still maintaining undefeated were only left with Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan, as well as this Zhang Tianyi.


    Zhang Tianyu''s strength was truly incomparably daunting. During the several times he ran into opponents with powerful strength, he would bring the other party down.


    Among them were Wu Jiantong who was known as second only to Nalan Chu in strength.


    Looking at it now, this title was simply a joke.


    Forget about Zhang Tianyi, even Han Feng''s strength was also much greater than his.


    But to Ye Yuan, the fervor the competitions provided for him clearly could not compare to the growth in divine soul.


    In 13 days, Ye Yuan''s divine soul was close to 20% stronger than the perfection state previously!


    Ye Yuan had never known that a martial artist''s divine soul could still be enhanced to such a level under the state of perfection.


    With the growth in divine soul, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was also rising along with it. In fact, during the 10th day, Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Divine Traversing in one shot!


    Ye Yuan discovered that the divine soul''s additional growth made his comprehension towards concepts increased considerably.


    Similarly, at the Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm, Ye Yuan''s understanding based on his previous life was entirely different.


    The Dao belonging to the Divine Traversing Realm became even clearer in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Following the deepening of comprehension, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm actually reached peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm unconsciously. It was only one last step away from breaking through to the Boundless Realm.


    Ye Yuan concentrated on cultivating. In a blink of an eye, a night had passed.


    Today, Ye Yuan was going to face the strongest opponent in this competition: Nalan Chu.


    Before Ye Yuan appeared, Nalan Chu was virtually the unofficial number one.


    Since the selection competition was underway until now, there were quite a number of experts who attempted to challenge Nalan Chu''s throne, but they all failed without exception.


    Now, a situation of tripartite confrontation, the ones with the greatest hope of challenging Nalan Chu''s throne were Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi.


    Today''s match, in many people''s hearts, should decide to whom the number one belonged to in the competition this time, and it was also to decide the quota ownerships for entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley.


    Although Zhang Tianyi''s strength was formidable, he did not comprehend a supreme true intent after all. If he really matched up against these two, he was probably going to lose.


    "In one night, Ye Yuan actually broke through! With this, Ye Yuan is even more confident."


    "What use does one minor boundary have? Unless he can break through to the Boundless Realm, otherwise, he is still a major cultivation realm away from Nalan Chu. Likewise, comprehending a supreme true intent, this sort of disparity is hard to make up for!"


    "Heh, so what? Han Feng comprehended a supreme true intent, but didn''t he still lose at Ye Yuan''s hands?"


    "Make no mistake; up until now, Nalan Chu hasn''t even brought out his true strength and already made a clean sweep of his opponents. Ye Yuan''s strength is very strong, but to want to beat Nalan Chu, it''s likely still a little lacking."


    Regarding who would win and who would lose between Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu, the battle had yet to begun, and it already kicked off intense discussions.


    But when Ye Yuan finished off his opponent neat and tidily in the first match, everyone also discovered that his cultivation realm actually rose substantially overnight.


    Beyond sighs of admirations, the majority of the people were actually still not very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan leaping realms to battle was indeed very impressive, but Nalan Chu''s strength absolutely could not be placed in the same category as the others.


    Han Feng admitted before that even if he comprehended a supreme true intent, he was also not Nalan Chu''s match.


    Nalan Chu''s strength could be seen at a glance.


    Even though the debates were endless outside the arenas, the parties involved both seemed to be very calm.


    Boom!


    Nalan Chu only used one move, and he blasted his opponent down the platform. A wave of cheering shouted out beneath the stage.


    Returning to the rest area, Nalan Chu sat beside a young man.


    This young man was slightly taller than Nalan Chu. People who knew him were all aware that this was one of the seven holy sons, Nalan Hong; he was also Nalan Chu''s older cousin.


    "You seem to be exceptionally enthusiastic today! Looks like that youth called Ye Yuan brought you quite a bit of pressure," the moment Nalan Chu sat down, Nalan Hong said with a smile.


    Nalan Chu smiled slightly and said, "It''s been so long since I''ve encountered an opponent which makes my blood boil like so!"


    "Even though he comprehended a supreme true intent, he''s just a Divine Traversing Realm after all. Could it be that with your strength, you don''t even have confidence in dealing with a Divine Traversing Realm?"


    "I''m very aware of Han Feng''s strength. He even forced out 50% of my strength! This Ye Yuan being able to guide him to comprehend a supreme true intent, he has at least third-stage strength too. How can such an opponent not make me excited?"


    Even though this Nalan Chu was very calm on the surface, Nalan Hong could clearly sense the turmoil in the depths of his heart.


    Nalan Hong was slightly astonished. The talent of this cousin of his was even above his. Seemed like there had never been any opponent who was able to make him so excited.


    This Ye Yuan made Nalan Hong take a huge interest in him.


    But Nalan Chu''s words made Nalan Hong unbelievably shocked.


    Third-stage supreme true intent, this was very remarkable.


    In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, there had never a genius who comprehended the third-stage of a supreme true intent appear before.


    Nalan Chu''s talent swept away the current generation, and only just comprehended the second-stage too.


    Time ticked away. The peak battle that everyone had their focus on finally started!


    Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu went up to the stage. Beneath the stage rang out waves of screams.


    But the two parties involved turned a deaf ear to it.


    "Use the Starmoon Sword. I wish to battle with you in your strongest state!"


    Exceeding Ye Yuan''s expectations, the moment Nalan Chu went up to the stage, he actually raised such a request.


    Ye Yuan was stunned, and then immediately shook his head and said with a smile, "Using the Starmoon Sword, you can''t win me."


    This time, it was Nalan Chu''s turn to be stunned. This was still the first time he met someone being so wildly arrogant in front of him.


    But Nalan Chu could sense that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a pretense in front of him, but he really had this confidence.


    Ye Yuan was seemingly just stating a fact and not intentionally showing off in front of him.


    Ye Yuan was indeed stating a fact. No one could understand what the Starmoon Sword signified to him.


    The Starmoon Sword''s amplification of Ye Yuan''s strength was absolutely not as simple as one plus one.


    Nalan Chu furrowed his brows a little and said, "No wonder you didn''t stint to spend one billion and also had to get the Starmoon Sword. Looks like the Starmoon Sword really has extraordinary significance to you."

 798 Rank Five!

    "So, on that night, the Sky Character No. 1 Room guest was you," Ye Yuan said rather surprisedly.


    Nalan Chu smiled and said, "That''s right! I originally thought that you were just intentionally causing trouble. I didn''t expect that you actually offered a high price of one billion in the end! I''ve given you a chance. You''re really not using the Starmoon Sword?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m giving you a chance, so I won''t use it."


    "Huhu, I''ve grown so old, but it''s still my first time that somebody dared to speak to me like this," Nalan Chu did not get angry but said with a laugh instead.


    Ye Yuan laughed too and said, "That''s because you never met a true genius!"


    Nalan Chu''s expression turned cold but knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    The holy land''s number one genius sounded impressive, but the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was merely a Rank Nine Holy Land.


    In the Divine Realm, Rank Nine Holy Lands could be found everywhere. Which was also to say that geniuses like him could be found everywhere.


    Then what about Rank Eight Holy Lands, Rank Seven Holy Lands, even Rank One Holy Lands?


    In these holy lands, how many geniuses more formidable than he was were there?


    Disregarding others, just this Ye Yuan in front of him was already much stronger than him.


    "A true genius is it �� I need to have a look today at just what kind of strength you, this true genius, have! Ye Yuan, I''ll only unleash one move. This move will be my strongest move! We''ll determine the victor with one move, how''s that?" Nalan Chu said with a slightly somber look.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I precisely had this intention."


    After the small talk, the atmosphere on the stage immediately became delicate.


    All of a sudden, a large space within the boundaries of the entire platform suddenly dimmed.


    "Apart from members of my family clan, there has yet to be any outsiders who have seen before this move of mine. Within the confines of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, no one has the qualifications to make me use this move too. Losing under this move, you should be plenty proud!"


    A wheel disc suddenly appeared in Nalan Chu''s hand. This wheel disc was shockingly a high-grade profound artifact.


    "This �� What happened? Just what kind of move is this? To actually be able to make day and night reverse!"


    "Could it be that this is the supreme true intent Nalan Chu comprehended? The entire holy land is aware that Nalan Chu comprehended a supreme true intent. But up until now, it seems like nobody has witnessed his supreme true intent before at all."


    "No way, right? What supreme true intent is this? It''s too bizarre!"


    Seeing the color of the sky suddenly become dark, everyone was taken aback from shock. They had never seen before such a strange sight. It was clearly broad daylight. All of a sudden, it became night!


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too as he said, "You actually comprehended the Light Supreme True Intent! No wonder your strength is so formidable!"


    Nalan Chu smiled and said, "Looks like not only is your comprehension ability abnormally high, your knowledge is also extraordinary! The Light Supreme True Intent, there aren''t many able to recognize it! Receive this move well then. I said that I gave you a chance before. You didn''t cherish it yourself! Hope that after you receive finish this move, you can still stand on the stage. Lumen �� Star �� Brilliance!"


    Nalan Chu raised the wheel disc. Above this dark space, the sky was suddenly studded with stars!


    From above these array of stars, it suddenly rained down countless rays of light!


    And the target of these countless rays of light was shockingly precisely Ye Yuan!


    The Light Supreme True Intent was a type of very seldom-seen concept. Martial artists let light become their weapon for battle through comprehending light!


    The power of light was boundless. It was a type of extremely powerful supreme true intent. Once comprehended to perfection, it could even dim the sun and moon. Its power was not beneath the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s Blazing Flame Burning Heaven.


    It was just that the Light Supreme True Intent was extremely hard to comprehend. Ordinary people could not find the correct approach at all. Therefore, very few were able to comprehend the Light Supreme True Intent.


    And the vast majority of martial artists did not know that there was such a type of supreme true intent at all. Hence, that was why they were so shocked.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that what this Nalan Chu comprehended was actually this type of supreme true intent.


    Furthermore, Nalan Chu was a Ninth Level Boundless expert. Regarding control of this area of heaven and earth, it was far above Ye Yuan''s.


    This move, Lumen Star Brilliance, practically seized all of the heaven and earth essence energy in this stretch of space. If Ye Yuan were unable to break this sort of deadlock, he would definitely lose without a doubt!


    Originally thought that Ye Yuan would feel despair, didn''t expect that he actually smiled faintly and said, "It''s too bad, you only comprehended to the second-stage!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s aura abruptly erupted.


    Origin Spirit Nine Transformations!


    Under Fiery''s assistance, Ye Yuan''s essence energy instantly skyrocketed and actually reached half-step Boundless Realm all at once.


    At the same time, a streak of sword intent surged towards the skies. Ye Yuan''s sword intent was released without holding anything back!


    Nalan Chu''s expression changed, and he said in disbelief, "Fifth-stage! This �� How is this possible?"


    Nalan Hong beneath the stage stood up abruptly. On his face was similarly a look of disbelief!


    This was Ye Yuan''s first time showing all of his strength in front of everybody; it was a fifth-stage supreme true intent!


    Including that time dealing with Han Feng previously, Ye Yuan merely used second-stage supreme true intent.


    One had to acknowledge that Nalan Chu was very powerful!


    The second-stage Light Supreme True Intent, this power level could absolutely show disdain for those in the same generation.


    But it was a pity that who he ran into was Ye Yuan.


    But to be able to force out Ye Yuan''s full strength, he could be sufficiently proud too.


    Before this, Ye Yuan was not planning on exposing his full strength. According to his plan, using third-stage strength should be adequate to deal with Nalan Chu.


    But he did not expect that the supreme true intent Nalan Chu comprehended was actually this powerful. Even he also had no choice but to bring out his full strength.


    Even though Ye Yuan used Origin Spirit Nine Transformations, he was still a major boundary lower than Nalan Chu in terms of cultivation realm.


    "Rending the Sky!"


    Sword intent surged to the skies and charged over towards the specks of starlight.


    Sword chopping stars!


    One sword descending, the darkness in this stretch of space instantly vanished without a trace. Light returned to the world once more.


    The crowd was flabbergasted!


    Many people could not discern the rank disparity between supreme true intents. But this did not hinder Ye Yuan giving them a shock.


    A supreme true intent that was able to invert day and night; there was no need to think deeply about it, and one could already tell the person was an extremely powerful existence.


    Furthermore, this was even Nalan Chu''s first time displaying his supreme true intent in front of the public. Didn''t think that it actually ended in defeat.


    Ye Yuan''s might did not require explaining at all.


    "Fifth-stage supreme true intent! It''s actually a fifth-stage supreme true intent! Hahaha, this Ye Yuan really broadened this old man''s horizons!" First Elder was incredibly agitated.


    He estimated previously that Ye Yuan''s supreme true intent was very likely at the third-stage; the possibility of being at the fourth-stage was very low.


    Matching up against Nalan Chu, it should be more likely a defeat than victory.


    Nalan Chu''s light concept, he was aware of it. The power was naturally extraordinary.


    But First Elder never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually comprehended a fifth-stage supreme true intent!


    A genius like this absolutely lit the world on fire!


    "This boy, just how did he cultivate? At his age, how is it possible to comprehend a fifth-stage supreme true intent? This �� This is too preposterous!" The elder at the side was speechless. He was thoroughly stunned by Ye Yuan.


    "What preposterous? It happened right in front of you. Can it still be fake?" First Elder said unhappily.


    "No, I didn''t mean that. It just �� just feels too inconceivable!" the elder explained.

 799 Holy Follower

    "I lost ��"


    Nalan Chu was very calm and did not have a sense of loss from being dragged down from his throne by someone as imagined.


    "You didn''t lose. If this was a life and death battle, it''s hard to say who the victor will be." Ye Yuan said.


    Nalan Chu shook his head and said, "Lost means lost. I won''t find excuses for my own failure. Furthermore, I know that even if this were a life and death battle, the one who wins, in the end, would definitely be you as well!"


    Nalan Chu could sense the bloody aura in Ye Yuan''s sword intent, indicating that the battles Ye Yuan experienced before were definitely much more than him.


    Suddenly, Nalan Chu turned around and said to the high platform with clasped hands, "First Elder, from today onwards, I''m withdrawing from this selection competition!"


    "What?! Nalan Chu wants to withdraw from the competition!"


    "What kind of joke is this?! Even if Nalan Chu lost, he''s at least number two as well, right? Furthermore, what he comprehended is the extremely rare Light Supreme True Intent. The holy land should be grooming him heavily. He actually chose to withdraw!"


    "This guy wouldn''t have been triggered due to losing this time, right?"


    Nalan Chu''s decision caused an uproar among the crowd.


    Although Nalan Chu lost, the degree of his genius was indisputable.


    But now, he actually chose to withdraw.


    This Nalan Chu was also too much of a glass-heart, right?


    But thinking about it wasn''t strange either. After all, a genius like Nalan Chu had never lost before until now. Looks like the impact this defeat had on him was rather huge.


    First Elder mused for a moment and said, "Why?"


    "Nalan Chu wishes to leave the holy land and go out to make my own break! I hope that First Elder will grant it!" Nalan Chu said firmly.


    A period of silence again. Nalan Chu was not anxious either, awaiting First Elder''s reply.


    After a long time, First Elder slowly opened his mouth and said, "Go then. Remember, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is your home!"


    Nalan Chu bowed down and thanked, "Many thanks to First Elder for granting it!"


    Finished talking, he turned around to Ye Yuan again and said, "What you said is right. I''ve indeed never met true geniuses before! Ye Yuan, thank you for thoroughly beating me awake today. One day, I''ll definitely defeat you!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Okay, I''m waiting for you."


    Nalan Chu being able to comprehend the Light Supreme True Intent, it could be seen how high his talent was. If he kept on huddling up in Crimson Afterglow, his talent would be wasted.


    The Crimson Afterglow Valley was a lucky chance, but it might not be Nalan Chu''s lucky chance.


    The paths of a powerhouse were many. But being trapped in a corner lording over others was definitely not the path of a powerhouse.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan naturally admired this decision of Nalan Chu very much.


    Moreover, Nalan Chu was different from geniuses like Wu Jiantong. He was not afraid to lose and was adaptable too. He was bound to have accomplishments in the future.


    Nalan Chu left the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land just like that. This was what everyone all did not expect.


    Before the competition started, Nalan Chu was already internally decided as the candidate for first place. In the end, he actually took the initiative to give up the competition.


    But Nalan Chu''s withdrawal also made the struggle for the top ten become even more white-hot.


    In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s holy hall, an elderly silhouette appeared rather lonely.


    First Elder stood by the side, his expression clearly quite agitated.


    "Holy Lord, your current body, sending three people in is already the limit. How can you send three more people in?" First Elder gritted his teeth and said.


    This old silhouette was actually the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Holy Lord!


    It was just that most likely, no one could have thought that the Holy Lord was actually old until such a state.


    Hearing First Elder''s words, the Holy Lord turned around and looked at him, and said with a smile, "I already don''t have much time anymore. Take this opportunity that this bunch of old bones still has some use and strive to preserve some successors for the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Sigh, I, Tu You, am incompetent, to actually let the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land be ruined at my hands. The selection competition this time indeed discovered a few fine saplings. If they can remember the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s kindness with gratitude, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land might be able to be rebuilt in the future."


    First Elder''s tears ran down his old face when he heard that and said, "If Holy Lord didn''t deal with that holy follower in order to save the few of us back then, how could you have forcefully executed the Chaotic Essence Singular Qi Grand Technique, resulting in a great loss of longevity? The calamity of today is not Holy Lord''s fault, but the fault lies with us!"


    Tu You smiled as he waved his hand and said, "This matter had already passed. No need to say anything. Sending a few of them in, I only lose some longevity; I will not pass away immediately either. You don''t have to be like this."


    Chen Qin had tears in his eyes and did not speak. But the self-reproach in the depths of his heart was anything but little.


    "Holy Lord, just what background was that holy follower? His strength was actually so formidable? Clearly he only had Phaseless Realm strength, but even you weren''t a match for him either." Chen Qin saw that Tu You had made up his mind and could only change the topic.


    Tu You revealed a solemn expression and actually said with some fear, "Regardless of what background, it''s not what we can afford to provoke. These few years, I spent considerable effort and only just probed out a tiny bit of information as well. These recent few decades, the holy artifacts stolen were not just our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Just these few regions nearby our White Valiant Region, their figures appeared several times before. It''s just that this kind of incidents are happening daily in various corners of the Divine Realm. So no one cares about it."


    Chen Qin was startled inwardly when he heard that. He didn''t expect that Holy Lord was actually inquiring about the other party''s information in the dark these few years. And he actually knew nothing about it too!


    Chen Qin knew that Tu You trusted him very much. But this incident, he was kept in the dark from beginning to end.


    That only meant one thing: this matter was absolutely very dangerous.


    Most likely, the Holy Lord expended a considerable price in order to probe out this tiny bit of information.


    "What did Holy Lord �� discover? Just what background was that whatever holy follower?" Chen Qin could not hold back the curiosity in his heart and ask.


    Regarding this holy follower, he hated to the bones. If there weren''t for that incident back then, Holy Lord would probably have broken through to Second Level Dao Profound, and the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would have already become a Rank Eight Holy Land.


    But now, all hope was lost!


    Even whether the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could be preserved or not was a question.


    The Holy Lord gave a sigh and said, "In these recent few decades, there were quite a few major forces'' holy artifacts that were stolen or snatched away. Among them, there was no lack of Rank Eight, Rank Seven, even Rank Six Holy Lands. Of course, there were also some small forces. And at the back of these incidences all had those black-robed peoples'' silhouettes. Their forms of address were different, but all carry a ''holy'' word! There are holy follower, holy soldier, even holy general! And among them, the holy followers with the weakest strength has late-stage Phaseless Realm strength!"


    Chen Qin was greatly alarmed when he heard that. Even a holy follower had such terrifying strength. Then how powerful would the strength of that whatever holy general be?


    One had to know that that holy follower which appeared in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was merely just late-stage Phaseless Realm but forced the First Level Dao Profound Realm Tu You to forcefully display a cultivation art which reduced longevity, resulting in his foundations to be utterly ruined.


    The strength of this mysterious power was simply too terrifying.


    This kind of power was completely not what their Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could afford to provoke.


    "In order to inquire about this intel, I paid an extremely heavy price and almost implicated the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. So later on, I also dispelled plans on taking revenge. This kind of force is completely not what we can provoke. Therefore, that''s why I would organize the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time to preserve some successors for the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land," Tu You said with a slight sigh.

 800 The Abnormal Zhang Tianyi

    Right on the second day Nalan Chu left, news came from the holy hall.


    The quotas for entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley this time increased from three to six!


    The moment this news came out, it immediately blew up.


    According to the holy hall''s news, the holy sons and the quasi-holy sons would each pick three people to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley.


    This meant that one just had to enter the top three in the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition and they could enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley!


    One spot was indeed too difficult for these geniuses. Unless their strength reached Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu''s level, otherwise, don''t even think about it at all.


    Three quotas, it was clearly providing a chance for Han Feng, Wu Jiantong, these second-tier geniuses.


    On the 15th day, these geniuses were all acting as if being injected with stimulants, desperately attacking their opponents frenziedly on the stages for the sake of obtaining victory.


    Especially those geniuses in the top five. Apart from Zhang Tianyi who had yet to taste defeat, most of the others lost two to three matches.


    Therefore, the battles between them appeared especially important.


    As luck would have it, during the competition on the 15th day, Wu Jiantong ran into Ye Yuan.


    On the arena, Wu Jiantong''s expression was incomparably ugly but kept delaying and dare not make a move.


    "Yii? Why aren''t you making a move yet? I remember that you seemed to have said not to let me bump into you on the stage. Or else, you''ll make me die very horribly. Now that we met, why are you not making a move instead?" Ye Yuan said derided.


    Up until now, Wu Jiantong lost a total of two matches. One match was lost to Nalan Chu, and the other was lost to Zhang Tianyi.


    This battle result was still not bad. The ranking was also very close to the front.


    But if he lost this match to Ye Yuan again, his situation would be very bad.


    But having witnessed Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu''s great battle, how could Wu Jiantong still dare to make a move?


    He did not wish to give Ye Yuan a chance to humiliate himself!


    Gritting his teeth, Wu Jiantong said, "I admit defeat!"


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression and said with a smile, "Very wise choice. Otherwise, you might not be able to go down the stage standing."


    Wu Jiantong gave a cold snort and went down the platform directly.


    Conceding this match, he would have to put up a desperate fight with Han Feng later.


    Apart from Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi, the ones with the greatest hope of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley were Han Feng and Wu Jiantong.


    Although Han Feng comprehended a supreme true intent, his cultivation realm was a little low; it was only at the Seventh Level Intent Boundless Realm.


    If not for so, Wu Jiantong could withdraw straight away.


    The Li Zongtao whose performance was very eye-catching previously lost battle after battle repeatedly later on and already basically withdrew from the Crimson Afterglow Valley contending fights.


    After Nalan Chu withdrew, all of the focus right now were on Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi.


    This Zhang Tianyi was very abnormal. He clearly did not comprehend a supreme true intent, but his strength was unexpectedly formidable. Up until now, he had yet to taste a single defeat.


    The genius martial artists who fought with him before all felt somewhat baffled after losing and actually did not know what happened, then they were defeated.


    Even someone as powerful as Han Feng also suffered a great deal under Zhang Tianyi''s hands.


    Of course, this was also that Zhang Tianyi''s luck was good and did not bump into Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu until now.


    With Nalan Chu withdrawing, these two people''s battle naturally became the struggle for first place.


    Finally, Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi met on the 18th day.


    "Ye Yuan, I know that your concepts comprehension is very high. But in front of me, it''s also useless no matter how high your concepts comprehension is! Nalan Chu''s withdrawal is also considered him keeping his face. Otherwise, he''ll definitely be someone who is defeated at my hands!"


    Ye Yuan''s strength was already universally acknowledged terrifying. Yet, Zhang Tianyi seemed to pay no attention to it.


    Facing such a provocation, Ye Yuan had always chosen to disregard it.


    It was also useless no matter how fiercely one bragged. There was only the showcasing of one''s true abilities.


    A guy who did not even comprehend a supreme true intent, Ye Yuan did not feel that he posed any threat to him.


    "Talk this sort of big talk again after beating me." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh, as you wish!"


    Zhang Tianyi gave a cold laugh, wielded his sword, and advanced forward. His speed seemed slow but was fast in reality, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    But this sort of speed had not the slightest bit of threat to Ye Yuan at all.


    Two swords intersecting, intense metal clashing sounds burst out.


    Zhang Tianyi''s attack was indeed not bad. But to talk about power, it seemed like it was still a little weaker than Han Feng''s.


    But right at this time, a stream of bizarre power crept up from the sword body, surging straight for Ye Yuan''s divine soul!


    This kind of offensive power was not strong. It seemingly did not have a great effect on the divine soul too.


    But being attacked by this bizarre power, Ye Yuan''s movements involuntarily paused.


    And right at this time, Zhang Tianyi suddenly switched moves, swinging away Ye Yuan''s Xuanying Sword, and headed straight for his abdomen!


    Regarding Zhang Tianyi''s series of offensive tricks, Ye Yuan had long heard of it to some extent.


    He would never compete in big moves with others. Once the competition began, he would immediately entangle his opponents and not give his opponent the opportunity to launch a big move at all.


    And once being tangled up with him, the other party would not have the chance to use an ultimate move anymore.


    In the end, they would not even know how they lost.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan also fell into this strange circle with this.


    Ye Yuan''s leaned sideways and barely avoided Zhang Tianyi''s sword.


    But the next instant, Zhang Tianyi''s sword light arrived again, akin to a bone infesting maggot.


    Ye Yuan''s Xuanying Sword swung, and he blocked Zhang Tianyi''s sword once more.


    Right at that instant, the two swords intersected, there was another stream of strange attack which attacked towards Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    Starting from the first sword, Zhang Tianyi''s sword did not leave Ye Yuan''s surroundings one foot, virtually making people unable to catch their breaths.


    Furthermore, his sword art was incomparably exquisite, seemingly a martial technique specialized in close combat. No matter how Ye Yuan shook it off, he could not get rid of it either.


    Seeing this scene, the surrounding people all had their jaws drop.


    "It''s here again! Could it be that even Ye Yuan can''t break Zhang Tianyi''s curse as well?"


    "Even though Zhang Tianyi did not comprehend a sword intent, his sword move is indeed incomparably exquisite. Unless one has extremely powerful close combat martial techniques, otherwise, they won''t be his match at all. Ye Yuan is already being utterly suppressed by him now. If there are no accidents, the die is cast."


    "I really didn''t expect this! Ye Yuan even defeated Nalan Chu and actually can''t win against Zhang Tianyi! This Zhang Tianyi, completely can''t feel where he''s strong at. Yet, everyone can''t beat him. Really sinister."


    Speaking of which, Zhang Tianyi''s way of winning made people very unwilling to concede.


    Each time he won others, it was not like Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu they all; his battle was neat and direct. Unless it was those kind whose strength were slightly weaker, otherwise, it was fighting up to a hundred rounds every time, even several hundred rounds before barely defeating his opponent.


    Therefore, those who fought with Zhang Tianyi and were defeated all felt very unconvinced when they thought about it afterward, feeling that their strength should not be weaker than his.


    But in the end, why were they the ones who lost?


    This selection competition was already approaching the end. But until now, everyone did not figure out how Zhang Tianyi could win battle after battle repeatedly.


    When Zhang Tianyi saw Ye Yuan teetering on his feet, an appearance of almost could not hold on anymore, he was very proud of himself in his heart.


    So what if it was supreme true intent?


    Can''t use moves, what did it matter no matter how strong their concepts?


    Zhang Tianyi was currently being pleased with himself when a surge of true dragon aura abruptly erupted!


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan actually forsook the sword and used his fist to forcefully receive this sword of Zhang Tianyi''s, blasting away his longsword.

 801 Actually, Ism Just an Alchemis

    "What a powerful physical body, to actually forcefully shake a profound artifact bare-handedly!"


    "Is this guy human or not? Concepts comprehension is so high, even his physical body is so powerful too. Simply freakish!"


    "Ye Yuan seemed to have refined the dragon race''s bloodline, that''s why his fleshy body is so strong! Not only is this guy''s comprehension abilities abnormally high, but this fortuitous encounter also makes people envious too!"


    Zhang Tianyi''s sword was a profound artifact too. A profound artifact''s sharpness went without saying.


    Ye Yuan actually used his fist to knock away Zhang Tianyi''s longsword. It could be seen how powerful his physical body was.


    What Zhang Tianyi was shocked by was not that Ye Yuan''s physical body was powerful. What he was shocked by was that Ye Yuan could actually counter-attack!


    "So, it''s a soul martial artist. No wonder," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhang Tianyi''s expression changed, not expecting Ye Yuan to say out his identity flatly.


    Even in the Divine Realm, soul martial artists were extremely rare too. After all, cultivating martial arts and cultivating the soul at the same time would expend tremendous amounts of energy, with losses outweighing the gains.


    Those like Zhang Tianyi, having such cultivation at a young age, were indeed extremely rare geniuses.


    "Soul martial artist! Zhang Tianyi is actually a soul martial artist! No wonder his attacks are so bizarre, making it impossible to guard against!" Someone exclaimed under the stage.


    The attack methods of soul martial artists were extremely odd. Ordinary people could not guard against at all.


    And Zhang Tianyi''s divine soul attack measure belonged to those type of constant dripping to wear away. Once or twice could not feel it at all, making it even hard to guard against.


    Therefore, those martial artists who fought with Zhang Tianyi previously all lost bafflingly.


    "Humph! Even if you know that I''m a soul martial artist, so what? The one who loses, in the end, is still you!" Zhang Tianyi''s face fell, and he pounced once more.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and actually wielded his sword and went forward again, entangling together with Zhang Tianyi!


    Zhang Tianyi was overjoyed when he saw the situation. He was afraid that Ye Yuan would play hide-and-seek with him and not clash head-on with him, then look for an opportunity to release a big move.


    The martial technique when Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu were battling that day, it was still vivid in his mind. Once Ye Yuan had the chance to use that move, he would lose for sure.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually continued to fight in close combat with him. What was this if not courting death?


    But the moment both parties'' longswords intersected, Zhang Tianyi suddenly felt his own divine soul quiver and actually had a split-second of absent-mindedness!


    But Zhang Tianyi was deserving of being called a soul martial artist. He reacted to it virtually right away and hurriedly jumped aside, avoiding Ye Yuan''s next attack.


    "You''re actually a soul martial artist too! This �� This is impossible!" Zhang Tianyi cried out in shock.


    "What?! Ye Yuan is a soul martial artist too? This �� How is this possible?"


    "What kind of joke is this? Having a fifth-stage supreme true intent, fleshy body comparable to a profound artifact, and is even a soul martial artist. This �� Is there really such a freak in this world?"


    "Soul martial artists are extremely rare. Today, two popped out all at once. What in the world is happening?"


    Zhang Tianyi''s panic cry immediately caused a wave of commotion.


    They all did not think that not only was Ye Yuan''s comprehension abilities abnormally high, but he was also actually even a soul martial artist of the legends!


    Adding on that freakish fleshy body, such a person simply had no weakness to exploit!


    No wonder Ye Yuan leaped realms to battle like eating and drinking. Who could be even more freakish than him?


    "Soul martial artist is it? Uh �� Actually, I''m just an alchemist," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Hahaha! This boy is really aggravating! But you just can''t do anything about it, because he''s really just an alchemist," Pei Wenqiang burst into laughter beneath the stage and said.


    Actually, before the competition this time, Pei Wenqiang only knew that Ye Yuan was a very formidable alchemist, and completely did not know that he was even a martial artist at all.


    Who could have thought that not only was Ye Yuan''s attainments in the divine soul exceedingly high, he even had such ridiculous accomplishments along the Martial Path?


    These words that Ye Yuan said, Pei Wenqiang was the most profoundly affected by it.


    "A-Alchemist?" Zhang Tianyi was speechless.


    Since when did alchemists have such formidable combat strength?


    Just that bit earlier, Zhang Tianyi already sensed that Ye Yuan''s divine soul attainments were actually even above his!


    This guy simply had no chinks in his armor!


    Such an opponent, how to defeat?


    "That''s right, I opened a medicinal shop in Ancient Opulence City. If you need medicinal pills, you can come and find me," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    "I �� I admit defeat!" Zhang Tianyi said extremely unwillingly.


    But facing a perverse fellow like Ye Yuan, what could he do if he did not concede?


    Divine soul attack could not beat the other party. He could not win the other party in martial arts. Apart from admitting defeat, there was nothing else that Zhang Tianyi could do at all.


    "Hahaha, I really didn''t expect it, didn''t expect it! A member of my Ancient Opulence City actually won the championship of the competition this time!" Pei Wenqiang was simply thrilled.


    Back then, he only gave this spot to Ye Yuan in order to repay his life-saving grace. Who knew that Ye Yuan directly took back the first place for him.


    When he heard Ye Yuan saying that he wanted to take first place for the first time, he even reproved Ye Yuan. Who knew that Ye Yuan finished off Nalan Chu first, and disposed of Zhang Tianyi as well, utterly locking down the position of first place.


    This was unparalleled glory!


    Giving a plum in return for a peach. This ''plum'' that Ye Yuan gave him was truly a little too big.


    Yang Sen had a delighted look too. Ye Yuan seizing the championship, he naturally felt a glow on his face too.


    ...


    At night, in the holy hall, First Elder Chen Qin was currently telling Tu You about this afternoon''s competition with dancing eyebrows and a look of exultation.


    While talking, Chen Qin was not stingy with praises of Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    A genius like Ye Yuan was extremely popular when placed in any holy land, let alone a declined holy land like the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land?


    Tu You''s face was quite calm as if he had long known about Ye Yuan''s freakishness.


    After Chen Qin said finish, Tu You asked, "This Ye Yuan is really just an ascender who came from the Lower Realms?"


    "Absolutely true! I''ve already investigated personally before and also made people ask the Pei Family before. This Ye Yuan is indeed just an ascender. Furthermore, his age is merely just past 20! This level of genius, even when placed in a Rank Three or Rank Four Holy Land, he would also be extremely popular. Let alone that he''s even a very incredible alchemist!" Chen Qin said agitatedly.


    At the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s most difficult time, such a peerless genius like this appearing was absolutely something that boosted people''s morale.


    Tu You''s eyes glinted. It was also unknown what he was thinking about.


    Winning against Zhang Tianyi, there were many people being happy. But Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    To him, this kind of victory was utterly meaningless.


    If not for the sake of entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley, he would not even be bothered to take part in this sort of lame selection competition.


    Late at night, Ye Yuan was the same as usual; he was still comprehending the golden characters.


    Through these few day''s comprehension, Ye Yuan''s divine soul was still strengthening unceasingly. These dozen over days, Ye Yuan''s divine soul strengthened a full 40%!


    This sort of augmentation could already be classified as terrifying.


    Ye Yuan did not know whether or not he could reach the Alchemy Ancestor level under the circumstances where he did not transcend the soul tribulation if he continued to comprehend like this.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, and he came out from the Vast Heaven Pagoda and showed himself.


    Ye Yuan laid down an array formation at the residence. Just earlier, the array formation was triggered by someone.


    Ye Yuan sensed something and immediately showed himself.

 802 Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool

    "One who comes is a guest. Show yourself," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Huhu, what an impressive boy, to actually be able to detect this Emperor''s arrival!" An aged and hoary voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan was startled inwardly when he heard that. In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, the only one able to proclaim himself as this Emperor was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord!


    Did not expect that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord actually descended here.


    Ye Yuan sensed that the arrival''s strength was extraordinary through the array formation previously, but did not think that it was actually the Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord.


    All of a sudden, there was an undulation in the space within the house. The Crimson Afterglow Holy Lord actually directly appeared inside the house.


    But regarding this sort of means, Ye Yuan did not have much surprises.


    Those Dao Profound Realm experts could already sense the Heavenly Dao. This bit of means was nothing strange.


    "Turns out it''s the Holy Lord. Ye Yuan failed to receive you," Ye Yuan gave a slight bow and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    Tu You waved his hand and said, "No need to be overly courteous. This Tu came uninvited. You wouldn''t mind, right?"


    Ye Yuan criticized inwardly for a bit. You already said it like this, can I say that I mind? But in truth, your esteemed self interrupted my closed-seclusion. I really mind a lot!


    But Tu You saying this sort of words was already dropping his own attitude very low. If Ye Yuan still did not give face, that was not knowing how to appreciate favors.


    Ye Yuan could tell that this Holy Lord in front of him was not his real body. But his strength was sufficient to instantly kill Ye Yuan.


    "I wonder what Holy Lord is finding Ye Yuan for?" Ye Yuan did not follow up on the words. It was also considered to have expressed his attitude.


    Tu You sized up Ye Yuan, but he was even more pleased with Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Such temperament was someone who did great deeds.


    Not like some people cracking themselves up to be geniuses, but were short-tempered and brash, unable to take on major duties.


    "Ye Yuan, do you know what is inside that Crimson Afterglow Valley?" Tu You ignored what was asked.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes flickered, secretly cursing sly old fox.


    One had to first give in order to take. This sort of logic, how could Ye Yuan not understand?


    Tu You did not do anything the moment he came and just whetted up his appetite. Clearly, there was nothing good.


    But speaking of which, he succeeded.


    Tu You''s one sentence made Ye Yuan''s heart squirm itchily.


    He was indeed very curious just what thing was inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley, to actually be able to give birth to a Ten Great Divine Kings class expert.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s struggling look, a hint of a smug smile flashed past the corners of Tu You''s mouth.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Holy Lord best talk about your intentions for coming first. If the matter is too difficult, Ye Yuan would rather not enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley."


    Tu You''s expression froze. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually speak such words.


    "Facing such temptation and you''re actually able to control your own desires. You, this youth, are indeed not simple! Fine then, actually, there isn''t anything hard to say out either. Actually, I came to find you, is to wish to entrust the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to you!"


    A few words, Tu You already discovered that Ye Yuan''s conduct was too slick and sly, impervious to everything. Talking with him, it was better to beat around the bush less.


    Beat around the bush too much, it would incur the other party''s aversion.


    It was just that Tu You''s words frightened Ye Yuan.


    He was just a Divine Traversing Realm martial artist and Tu You actually wanted to entrust a holy land to him!


    What did that have to do with this?!


    Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, "Holy Lord, you''re joking with me, right? I ��"


    Tu You stopped Ye Yuan''s words with a hand gesture, but said, "This Emperor is naturally not joking with you! You don''t have to be in a hurry to reject. Listen to this Emperor''s terms first before giving a reply again. As long as you promise to take over the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, all of the resources in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will be up to you to allocate! Furthermore, within three years after entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley this time, this Emperor will personally take action to send you into the Crimson Afterglow Valley once more!"


    Ye Yuan knew that the Crimson Afterglow Valley could only open once every 300 years. If he forcefully sent him into the Crimson Afterglow Valley, Tu You would probably pay an unimaginable price.


    In order to make him agree to become the next Holy Lord, this Tu You was also going plenty all out.


    "Just what is inside the Crimson Afterglow Valley?" Ye Yuan still could not refrain from asking.


    "Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool!" Tu You did not keep him in suspense this time and answered immediately.


    "Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool �� What is that?"


    Ye Yuan was also considered to be experienced and knowledgeable. But this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, he really had not heard before.


    "Wait until you go in, you''ll know! The liquid in this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool can cleanse the marrow and let the martial artist cast off their old self and undergo a complete transformation. The longer a martial artist stay inside, the greater the harvest, and the greater the future accomplishments as well! I know that your physical body is powerful. This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool can temper your physical body to be even stronger! Furthermore, inside this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool contains extremely titanic amounts of essence energy. As long as you have the ability, it can let you directly breakthrough to Dao Profound Realm!" Tu You said.


    "Oh? It actually has such a miraculous effect?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    He was turning it over in his mind secretly that this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s effects seemed to have some similar aspects with true dragon''s blood.


    Except, it sounded like this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool seemed to be more impressive.


    After Ye Yuan refined the dragon blood, he obtained tremendous benefits too. The present Ye Yuan could forcefully receive a profound artifact bare-handedly just with his physical body; simply a human-form lethal weapon.


    Ye Yuan had reached the important juncture of breaking through to the Boundless Realm at present. This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool seemed to be an excellent breakthrough site.


    Tu You nodded and said, "It will only be stronger than you imagine! But this pool water is extremely tyrannical. Ordinary people can''t walk far at all. Therefore, the benefits obtained are limited too. This Emperor only walked 80 feet out back then too."


    "Oh? What''s there to pay attention to?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "In this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, every 70 feet is a threshold. The deepest area is a full 490 feet far out. Since the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was established, only the first generation Holy Lord walked to the deepest part. And his accomplishments was also the highest in history, with strength comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings! But a genius like him, only a single one appeared in the history of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Back then, the people who entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley together with this Emperor, only I walked to 80 feet out, which is also within the second threshold''s scope. Therefore, I became the Holy Lord!" Tu You explained.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he developed a thick interest in this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool.


    Seemed like this pool was indeed rather different.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said to Tu You, "Ye Yuan thank Holy Lord''s great kindness. It''s just that taking over the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, it''s completely out of the question for Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan has something hard to disclose and definitely has to leave the Crimson Afterglow in the future."


    Tu You said solemnly, "No worries! I know that a measly little Crimson Afterglow definitely can''t keep a genius like you. But I already don''t have much time left. If I can''t find someone able to take on the huge responsibility, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is bound to be swallowed up by the other holy lands. This sort of conclusion is what this Emperor doesn''t wish to see. This Emperor finding you is to hope to preserve a hint of incense fire from extinguishing. In the future, when you find a good man, passing the position of Holy Lord to him is good too. Before this, I''ll make Chen Qin they all do everything in their power to groom you and let you achieve the Dao Profound Realm as soon as possible! This Tu is already someone about to die. I don''t have other requests and only hope that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land can carry on existing. Ye Yuan, please accept a bow from me!"


    As he said those words, Tu You actually gave Ye Yuan a deep bow!hope/successors

 803 Camouflage

    At a lake with a calm surface, in a tranquil mountain valley.


    A party of seven to eight people appeared in this remote mountain valley.


    "First Elder, could it be that this place is the Crimson Afterglow Valley? Looks like it doesn''t seem to be any different from an ordinary mountain valley."


    "Humph! If even you can detect the differences, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would have long been exterminated by people," First Elder said with a cold snort.


    "Hehe, makes sense!"


    The one who said this was called Yang Xiao; one of the seven holy sons.


    This Yang Xiao had a cheeky appearance all day long; he was rather like a big kid who liked to play. But to be able to become one of the seven holy sons, his strength naturally could not be underestimated.


    After Ye Yuan defeated Zhang Tianyi, the dust settled for the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition too.


    Ye Yuan obtained the first place with the battle result of a flawless victory, obtaining the qualification to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley without any qualms.


    Zhang Tianyi won 59 and lost one, obtaining the qualification with the battle result of second place.


    And finally, Han Feng utterly trounced Wu Jianton, catching the last bus as well.


    On the seven holy sons'' side, they selected three people to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley in the end as well. They were respectively Nalan Hong, Yang Xiao, and Pei Wenqiang''s elder brother, Pei Kun.


    Presumably, these people''s strength could stand out among the seven holy sons.


    This early morning, First Elder brought the six people to this extremely out-of-the-way mountain valley.


    This mountain valley was within the boundaries of the holy land, but it was exceptionally hard to find.


    "First Elder, are we considered to have entered the Crimson Afterglow Valley here? Could it be that this lake in front of the legendary Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool?" Yang Xiao asked again.


    As one of the seven holy sons, even though he had not come to the Crimson Afterglow Valley before, but what was inside this Crimson Afterglow Valley, he was perfectly aware.


    First Elder shot him a glare and said crossly, "You moron! Is there any essence energy undulation in this lake? Why don''t you jump down and give it a try?"


    Yang Xiao scratched his head and said perplexedly, "We didn''t enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley, and there isn''t any path to take here as well. What on earth should we do?"


    First Elder was disinclined to bother with this idiot and simply turned his head over and just threw down a word, "Wait!"


    Yang Xiao was baffled. Seeing First Elder ignore him, he actually turned his head over to Ye Yuan.


    "Heh, Little Leaf, I heard that you''re very incredible. Can you see through the little truth or deception of the situation?" Yang Xiao scooted over to Ye Yuan''s side and said.


    Ye Yuan''s great name already spread throughout the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land long ago. It was naturally impossible for these holy sons like Yang Xiao they all to be utterly ignorant about Ye Yuan.


    Even if these holy sons'' statuses in the holy land was extremely high, they were also struck with admiration regarding Ye Yuan''s degree of talent.


    Not everyone among them might be comfortable in their hearts. But their attitudes toward Ye Yuan was absolute submission.


    Along the way, Yang Xiao struck up a conversation with Ye Yuan from time to time too. Gradually, the two people became acquainted.


    Towards Yang Xiao''s poser actions, Ye Yuan was naturally not averse either,


    Such a person was more interesting than people who keep a straight face constantly.


    Seeing Yang Xiao inquire, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "There should have been an extremely powerful camouflage set up here. If one did not reach the Dao Profound Realm strength, one would probably not see through the truth and deception at all. Furthermore, even for those in the Dao Profound Realm, wanting to crack this camouflage is probably beyond their power too."


    First Elder did not look over here, but his ears perked up high.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, First Elder was unbelievably shocked in his heart too. He did not know if Ye Yuan was guessing or could really see through the truth and deception.


    But Yang Xiao was pretty on point this time and helped him ask, "Huh? You said that a Dao Profound Realm can''t see through the truth or false; then why can you, a Divine Traversing Realm, see through it?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Naturally because I''m incredible."


    Yang Xiao pursed his mouth and said, "How boring! Forget it if you''re not telling!"


    Ye Yuan smiled without speaking and did not follow up on this too. He could not very well tell Yang Xiao that he was a Tier 9 Array Emperor, right?


    This place''s camouflage technique was extremely profound. With the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s present standard, they absolutely could not set it up.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that this should be set up long ago by a previous generation Holy Lord. It was even possible that it was set up by the first generation Holy Lord.


    Wanting to forcefully crack this camouflage technique, most likely it could not be done at all without having Eighth or Ninth Level Dao Profound strength.


    Even if Tu You knew the way to crack it, wanting to send them into the Crimson Afterglow Valley, he likely had to pay a considerable price as well.


    From that day''s conversation, Ye Yuan could tell that Tu You''s condition was not very good.


    If not for so, it was impossible for him to do this sort of entrusting thing.


    Under the situation where his condition was very bad, he was even planning on cracking this camouflage technique a second time. It could be seen that his sincerity was indeed sufficient.


    That day, Ye Yuan ultimately still did not promise Tu You. He only said he will consider it.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan became somewhat moved.


    Right then, the earth quaked, and the mountains swayed within the mountain valley. It was as if an earthquake occured.


    The corners of First Elder''s mouth twitched, and his eyes actually became somewhat moist.


    Holy Lord''s lifespan originally did not have much left. With this, it was adding one disaster after another.


    Especially sending six people in this time all at once, the burden on Tu You was even greater.


    When the thought reached here, Chen Qin was incredibly upset in his heart.


    Rumble ��


    Under everyone''s astonished gazes, the lake in front of them actually parted into two, like it was forcefully cleaved into two halves by someone using a blade.


    Between the two halves of the lake water, a gorgeous light emitted out.


    "The few of you, go in from between this lake water! Remember, you all only have five day''s time. After five days, no matter how much you gained, you have to come out. Otherwise, you all can only come out again after 300 years." Chen Qin warned.


    Of course, Chen Qin knew that Tu You had the ability to forcefully crack this grand array. But that price expended was too great.


    After Tu You cast the skill, he would die without a doubt!


    This sort of method, Chen Qin naturally would not say out, and would not agree to Tu You casting the skill either.


    "Yes, First Elder!"


    The six people received the order and leaped into the brilliant light, then vanished from sight.


    After Ye Yuan''s group of six disappeared, a light flashed, revealing that hoary and aged silhouette of Tu You''s.


    The current Tu You looked even older than before at a glance.


    Seeing Tu You, Chen Qin''s expression changed, "Holy Lord, you ��"


    Around Tu You was a strand of faintly discernible black qi circling around. Martial artists all knew that this vague black qi was precisely death qi!


    Once this sort of aura appeared around a martial artist, they were not far from exhausting their lifespans.


    Tu You waved a hand and said, "Opening the array formation this time, the essence energy expended was a little too great. It''s fine. My body, I have a score in my heart. Hanging on for three years shouldn''t be an issue. I just hope that these children can grow up faster."


    Chen Qin''s years ran down his old face as he said, "Holy Lord, it''s all Chen Qin who is incompetent, to not even have the ability to open up the Crimson Afterglow Valley''s array formation!"


    Tu You smiled and said, "The Crimson Afterglow Valley has always been personally opened up by the Holy Lord. When was it your turn?"


    If Tu You was still in his peak state, opening the Crimson Afterglow Valley naturally would not be too much of an issue and would not expend longevity either.


    But the current Tu You could not endure such tremendous expenditure at all. Each time he used essence energy, his lifespan would be lost even faster!Ye = Leaf

 804 Entering the Pool

    Ye Yuan only felt his vision blurred, and then he appeared in a canyon.


    "Such powerful essence energy! I clearly haven''t seen the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool yet, and I can actually sense its direction!" The moment Yang Xiao came in, he made an unnecessary fuss.


    But visibly moved expressions appeared on the faces of the others. Clearly, they all felt very surprised by this surge of essence energy undulation.


    Everyone was unable to contain the excitement in their hearts and walked towards the direction the essence energy came from.


    Before long, a pool 1000 feet in circumference appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    The pool water took on a dark red color. The essence energy undulation coming from the pool water made the hearts of these holy sons and quasi-holy sons all palpitate.


    The essence energy undulation coming from the pool water was too intense, intense to the extent it made people fearful.


    "Gulp! This is the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool? I were always unconvinced by the ancestors. But only after arriving here myself do I know how hard it is to enter the second level!" Nalan Hong said solemnly.


    These holy sons were all people arrogant at heart and haughty in manner and always felt that them entering the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, they definitely could walk to the third level.


    But sensing the essence energy undulations of this pool water in front of him, Nalan Hong knew that he was too naive.


    To be able to enter the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, which one of them was not a prodigious talent?


    But the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s rank dropped again and again. This showed that benefits from the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was not easy to be grasped.


    "Nalan Hong, don''t waste anymore time! We only have five day''s time. If you''re not entering, I''m going in!"


    Yang Xiao did not have that many qualms, jumping into the pool water immediately with a leap.


    However, Yang Xiao appeared casual, but he clearly did not dare to jump too far either, only jumping out a distance of around 50 feet.


    The expressions of the rest on the shore all became stern, staring fixedly at Yang Xiao.


    Yang Xiao originally still had a careless appearance. But the moment he touched the water, everyone distinctly sensed his body turned stiff as if his entire person was frozen.


    Following which, Yang Xiao''s body started trembling vigorously. The expression on his face seemed as if he was being tormented.


    The expressions of the others all became apprehensive. About Yang Xiao''s ability, they were all aware of it. He entered the pool 50 feet out and was actually in such agony. It could be seen that this lucky chance was not so easy to obtain.


    Nalan Hong and Pei Kun exchanged a glance. The two people seemed to have reached some sort of tacit agreement and actually leaped at the same time, but arrived 60 feet out into the pool water.


    "Ye Yuan, aren''t you going down to test the waters?" Zhang Tianyi suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You guys head down first. This pool water seemed to be quite impressive. My cultivation realm is a little low. I need to do some preparations first."


    Zhang Tianyi shot Ye Yuan a glance and leaped too, jumping into the pool water.


    Afterward, Han Feng clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and leaped down as well.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm, but he was not calm at all in his heart.


    Approaching this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, Ye Yuan actually sensed that a mysterious power was calling him in the depths of the pool water!


    Ye Yuan was sensing this mysterious power, so he was not in a hurry to enter the water.


    But he felt for a long time and also did not sense just what on earth this mysterious power was.


    While at this time, the first one to enter the water, Yang Xiao, started to break through!


    He only soaked for a short while in this pool water and actually directly broke through the bottleneck, letting him advance ranks successfully!


    This pool water contained powerful energy. It could really be said to produce an immediate effect.


    Another 10 minutes later, Nalan Hong and Pei Kun actually both advanced ranks!


    Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi were not willing to fall behind too, likewise breaking through realms very quickly.


    "Hahaha, really awesome! In a flip of a hand, it''s actually comparable to several years of my bitter cultivation! This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool is indeed well-deserving of its reputation!" Yang Xiao chortled with laughter.


    The others did not speak, but their faces were all unbelievably excited.


    Clearly, the prowess of this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool far surpassed their imaginations.


    Ye Yuan discovered that it seemed like he could not feel out this mysterious power no matter what and simply jumped into the pool water directly.


    The moment he entered the water, a bone-piercing chill instantly enveloped his entire body, freezing all the nerves in his entire body until he became paralyzed and actually made him unable to move a muscle.


    "I clearly couldn''t feel the water temperature by the shore. I didn''t expect that entering the water, it would actually be this bone-piercingly cold," Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    But Ye Yuan''s physical body was incomparably powerful. After experiencing the initial paralysis, he adapted very quickly.


    At this time, every pore on his body was as if it opened up through soaking in the pool water, feeling indescribable comfort.


    Powerful essence energy tunneled into his body from every pore, letting his cultivation realm rise rapidly.


    Ye Yuan also absorbed the massive quantities of essence energy in the pool water without holding back at all and started to consolidate his cultivation realm, in order to make preparations for breaking through to Boundless Realm.


    One step, two steps, three steps ��


    Ye Yuan walked forward step by step. Each step forward, the essence energy in the pool water would intensify a little more.


    The tempering of the pool water was not just targeting his essence energy. It actually had a substantial strengthening effect on his physical body too.


    Ye Yuan enjoyed the tempering of the pool water to his heart''s content and also got increasingly closer to Boundless Realm.


    In a blink, one day and night passed.


    The expressions on the few geniuses'' faces became progressively more contorted as well.


    And one day''s time passed. Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi each only walked forward a distance of 20 feet, stopping at the 70 feet mark.


    The three Heaven Enlightenment Realm holy sons actually advanced shoulder to shoulder, stopping at the 90 feet mark!


    One had to know that the current generation Holy Lord, Tu You, merely entered the second level.


    This time, three of them actually all achieved this goal!


    "ARGHHH!"


    All of a sudden, Pei Kun let out a pained cry and actually leaped right out of the water, returning to the shore!


    On the bank, Pei Kun''s expression was very ugly.


    He never would have thought that the first one to be eliminated was actually him.


    Sweeping a glance over, Yang Xiao and Nalan Hong were basically at the same distance. Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng were also at the same distance.


    Looking over towards Ye Yuan again, it made him rather surprised.


    Ye Yuan actually still remained at the 50 feet distance at this time.


    The Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi who were defeated at Ye Yuan''s hand both walked out 70 feet in distance. Ye Yuan actually just walked out a distance of 50 feet?


    Right then, Han Feng suddenly lifted his head and gave a long cry, and actually took another step forward!


    It was this step that let him cross into the second level, breaking through to the 80 feet distance!


    Pei Kun''s expression change. He clearly did not expect that a Boundless Realm martial artist could actually reach the second level.


    Splash!


    Pei Kun was unresigned to failure and actually leaped, entering into the pool water once more.


    This time, he progressed very smoothly, walking straight to the 90 feet area.


    But right then, an extremely anguished expression surfaced on Pei Kun''s face. He finally could not endure it and retreated back to the shore once more.


    Boom!


    Pei Kun slammed a fist onto the ground and said unresignedly, "Could it be that my, Pei Kun''s, potential, merely ends here?!"

 805 A Canal Is Formed When Water Comes

    "Ah! Hurts to death! Hurts to death! I feel like my entire body is about to explode!"


    Yang Xiao gave a series of miserable screams and directly jumped out of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, coming to the shore, standing shoulder to shoulder with Pei Kun.


    Pei Kun''s expression was very ugly by the side.


    Yang Xiao walked out 130 feet at the end; he was much stronger than Pei Kun.


    They, these holy sons, were all very clear that the further they walked indicated the greater the potential.


    Which also showed that Yang Xiao''s potential was much greater compared to him, Pei Kun.


    To be able to walk to the second level area, no matter how useless, he could reach Dao Profound Realm strength too.


    "Sigh, I say, Pei Kun, don''t pull a long face anymore. At any rate, you reached the second level area too. Didn''t I just walk out a couple more feet than you? Speaking of which, didn''t expect that the three of us entering this time, we all entered the second level area. Truly remarkable!" Yang Xiao still had a cheeky appearance.


    "Humph! Saying it lightly! Did you see or not? Even those two Boundless Realm brats walked further than me! When did I, Pei Kun, ever end up in such a sorry state?" Pei Kun was still very unhappy.


    Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng had long entered the second level region already and actually walked even further than Pei Kun.


    Indeed, this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool could bring tremendous benefits to these geniuses. But it would also thoroughly expose their own potential.


    Originally, these geniuses only competed secretly. No one yielded to any one. But with this, their potential had nowhere to hide!


    Pei Kun being the first one to be eliminated, he clearly could not cross this hurdle in his heart.


    "Sigh, what are you thinking so much for? Can''t you still tell that no matter how merrily we jump around, the most talented one is definitely Ye Yuan! I reckon that before long, he''ll surpass you and I. Since that''s the case, what are you still worrying so much for?"


    Maybe it was due to personality, Yang Xiao was much more open-minded than Pei Kun.


    "Heh, surpass us? You take a look yourself. Just where has he only walked up to now? In my view, he has exhausted his potential fully and won''t have any major developments in the future!" Pei Kun said with a cold snort.


    Although Ye Yuan was brought by his younger brother, Pei Kun''s current mindset was somewhat disrupted.


    He wished that these few people would be eliminated by the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool one by one right away. Only in that way could he find some comfort.


    Yang Xiao still had not noticed this after getting back on land. Only hearing Pei Kun say so at this time did he discover that Ye Yuan actually only walked to 70 feet distance and could not even compare to Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng.


    "En? What''s happening? Shouldn''t be! This guy is so freakish; how can he possibly only walk to just 70 feet?" Yang Xiao was quite puzzled as well as he said.


    "This fellow probably used some methods which over-drafted potential. Hence, that''s why he can be so freakish at a young age. But the moment he entered this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, his true form was revealed. In my view, he will just have Boundless Realm cultivation at the maximum in this lifetime," Pei Kun said.


    Yang Xiao''s eye glinted. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    Right then, Pei Kun''s expression changed, and he said, "Nalan Hong entered the third level region!"


    Yang Xiao was startled inwardly. Looking over, indeed, he saw that Nalan Hong already broke through 210 feet out!


    "Haha, the Nalan Family are indeed all freaks! No idea up to where Nalan Chu that fellow can walk to if he came in here," Yang Xiao said with a laugh.


    "Humph! That fool actually gave up the opportunity to enter the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool. Wait until he returns to the family clan, his intestines will probably turn green with regret," Pei Kun said disdainfully.


    "Sigh, it''s indeed quite lamentable for Nalan Chu. I didn''t expect that he just left, and the holy land announced an increase in slots right after. But Nalan Hong could actually enter the third level region. This is impressive!" Yang Xiao felt pity for Nalan Chu too.


    But Pei Kun kept his mouth shut. He also did not expect that Nalan Hong actually had such great potential.


    Two hours later, Yang Xiao''s mind suddenly jolted.


    "En? Ye Yuan entered the second level region!"


    The moment he entered the second level region, Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure double.


    That violent strength tunneled into his body brazenly without any scruples at all, tearing at his body.


    But Ye Yuan''s body was long incomparable to the past through the dragon blood''s remolding.


    Allowing those violent energies to impact his meridians freely, he still did not move a muscle.


    Those energies entering Ye Yuan''s body, a portion was refined by the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and entered the essence energy sea. Another portion was absorbed by his body, strengthening his physical body.


    Ye Yuan''s physical body became increasingly stronger too, virtually reaching middle-stage Tier 6!


    The reason why Ye Yuan stood still and did not advance was that he discovered that the pool water''s remolding of his body had not completely stopped yet.


    If he entered the second level right away, it was a bit too much of a waste.


    Just now, Ye Yuan discovered that the first level''s pool water was already completely ineffective to him. That was why he stepped into the second level.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea became increasingly full. His cultivation realm already approached increasingly closer to Boundless Realm under the pool water''s continuous impact.


    Ye Yuan did not care about which step the others walked to either. He just walked forward step by step himself. Each step was taken very solidly.


    Furthermore, he could sense that his body was far from reaching its limits. Hence, he was not in a rush.


    Just like this, another day''s time passed.


    Splash!


    Nalan Hong finally could not persist on either and retreated to the shore.


    But Nalan Hong did not feel dejected. Instead, he was faintly very thrilled.


    Charging to the third level region in one go, Nalan Hong obtained tremendous benefits. Moreover, him being able to walk to the third level region also surpassed quite a few generations of holy lords.


    In the future, his accomplishments would surely be even higher than the holy lord!


    "Quickly look! Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi both entered the third level region already! What kind of freaks were chosen from the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition this time?!" Yang Xiao exclaimed in shock.


    Nalan Hong was startled and hurriedly looked over. Indeed, he saw that Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng''s figures were already at the third level region.


    "Holy Lord His Excellency has great foresight. Looks like �� Our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is going to rise up anew!" Nalan Hong did not have the intention of being envious and admired Tu You''s decision instead.


    It was just that he did not know that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was currently facing its greatest crisis since establishment!


    Once Tu You''s lifespan ran out, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would probably be reduced to a second-rate power immediately, and be swallowed up by other holy lands.


    Tu You dwelt in deep seclusion these few years and rarely came out. He only said that he was in a retreat to assault the Second Level Dao Profound; this was the news he spread out on purpose. At the same time, he would never show his face in front of outsiders.


    Apart from a few trusted elders, no one knew that he already reached the extent of the oil running out and the lamp expiring already.


    Right at this time, the winds and clouds in the sky suddenly changed. Patches of dark clouds converged over here. The horrifying pressure made people feel very stifled, unable to even catch their breath!


    "En? Not good! Ye Yuan is going to transcend tribulation!" Nalan Hong''s expression changed as he said.


    While at this time, Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng were only a hundred over feet distance away from him. The moment Ye Yuan transcended the tribulation, they would definitely be swept into it.


    Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng were startled awake by this abnormality too, carrying extremely unwilling expressions as they retreated back to the shore.

 806 Horrifying Soul Tribulation!

    "This fellow''s strength is comparable to peak Boundless Realm. If we were to transcend tribulation inside, we''d definitely be smitten to death!" Zhang Tianyi said extremely unwillingly.


    He sensed that he had not reached the limits yet and should still be able to push forward some more.


    But Ye Yuan suddenly transcending tribulation thoroughly screwed up his tempo.


    "Actually, we should have long expected it. With Brother Ye''s strength, entering this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, how can he possibly not break through to Boundless Realm? It somewhat exceeded my expectations that he is only breaking through now," Han Feng said.


    If interrupted, then he was interrupted. Han Feng did not mind very much.


    Entering the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool this time, his harvest was extremely huge. He was almost breaking through to the Ninth Level Boundless already.


    Furthermore, he could sense that the pool water''s transformation on his body was extremely great. In the future, cultivation would yield twice the results with half the effort.


    Suddenly loosening up to six quotas this time was truly picking up a treasure to him.


    "What''s Ye Yuan doing? Is it possible that �� this guy wants to oppose heavenly tribulation?" Nalan Hong exclaimed in shock.


    A mighty dragon aura billowed to the skies. Ye Yuan slowly raised his palm. This was clearly going to exhibit a powerful martial technique.


    By the side, the few geniuses were all dumbstruck with astonishment when they saw this scene.


    Each and every one of them rated themselves as geniuses. Towards heavenly tribulation, they were generally not overly concerned but were not wildly arrogant to the degree of opposing heavenly tribulation yet.


    Watching Ye Yuan''s stance, he did not place heavenly tribulation in his sights at all!


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, transcending the 5-in-9 heavenly tribulation was without the least bit of pressure at all, even if it was the major heavenly tribulation of breaking through a major cultivation realm.


    Boom!


    A Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm soared high into the air, flying straight for the tribulation clouds that had yet to form!


    A massive green dragon charged straight for the skies, pressing forward with an indomitable will!


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gazes, the tribulation clouds were dissipated by the power of this palm.


    "Holy sh*t! Just what kind of freak is this guy? The might of one palm is actually so horrifyingly powerful! Could it be that he had yet to use all of his strength in the competition?" Yang Xiao cried out weirdly.


    This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was not the slightest bit inferior to that fifth-stage supreme true intent, Rending the Sky, as well!!


    A martial technique like Rending the Sky, being able to comprehend one already need to express thanks to heaven and earth. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had a card up his sleeve.


    But this was Yang Xiao misunderstanding Ye Yuan. Actually, during the competition, the power of Rending the Sky was indeed above the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    But soaking in the pool water these two days, the power of Ye Yuan''s fleshy body strengthened by more than several times!


    Ye Yuan discovered that the power within this pool water, the majority was used to temper the fleshy body. The increase in essence energy instead was a little slow in comparison.


    The dragon race''s martial techniques did not entirely look at dragon wave''s degree of comprehension. It similarly looked at the strength of the physical body. This was the same logic as a martial artist''s essence energy and supreme true intent.


    Right now, Ye Yuan''s physical body was multiple times stronger. The might of Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm naturally strengthened a great deal too.


    The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm that Yang Xiao saw was precisely the version after strengthening.


    A 5-in-9 heavenly tribulation, the tribulation clouds were not so easily scattered away.


    Very soon, the tribulation clouds in the air gathered once more. Very clearly, it was more than before this time.


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to pay attention at all. Raising his hand, it was another Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, directly blasting apart the firmament.


    In this pool water, Ye Yuan felt like he returned to the embrace of his mother''s womb, in a nascent state with limitless strength!


    The third time, fourth time, fifth time ��


    Ye Yuan did not care about the tribulation clouds in the sky at all, firing palm after palm over above the sky.


    Five sets of tribulation clouds were actually thoroughly dissipated by Ye Yuan without condensing successfully yet!


    The five people on the shore were long dumbfounded with shock.


    Turns out that heavenly tribulation could still be transcended like this!


    No lightning falling, this heavenly tribulation �� Could it still be called heavenly tribulation?


    The current Ye Yuan stood calmly on the water surface, akin to a war god.


    "This �� It''s done?" Yang Xiao looked at the surroundings and asked, rather baffled.


    Nalan Hong''s expression was grim as he shook his head and said, "You look at Ye Yuan''s appearance akin to facing a great enemy. I think �� it shouldn''t be over yet, right?"


    Yang Xiao was startled and discovered that Ye Yuan indeed had an appearance akin to facing a great enemy.


    But for Middle Three Realms martial artists, 5-in-9 heavenly tribulation was already the limit. Could it be that there was still a more formidable heavenly tribulation?


    Right then, the tribulation clouds originally dissipated by Ye Yuan actually condensed and formed once more!


    "How is this possible? Ye Yuan is transcending the Boundless Realm''s heavenly tribulation here. How can a 6-in-9 heavenly tribulation possibly appear?" Yang Xiao nearly jumped up.


    This situation before his eyes seriously somewhat subverted his understanding.


    But Pei Kun said with a cold snort, "Idiot! Look closely! How is this a 6-in-9 heavenly tribulation? This is clearly soul tribulation!"


    "Uh, soul tribulation? Uhh �� Seems like it really is! However �� the power of this soul tribulation is so powerful!" Yang Xiao still had a guileless appearance.


    The others were all silent. That thick layer of tribulation clouds in the sky made their divine souls all tremble.


    The might of this soul tribulation was clearly much more powerful than they imagined!


    "Looks like comprehending the golden characters can obtain immense benefits, but it has side effects too. The power of this soul tribulation is way stronger compared to that time in my previous life!" Ye Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart.


    Transcending soul tribulation! If one did not have adequate measures, it was very hard to transcend.


    Soul tribulations arrived at the divine soul directly and did not have any obstacle at all. It was unlike lightning tribulation; martial artists could rely on essence energy and the physical body to guard the heart channels.


    As long as the heart channels were not severed, the martial artist was considered to have transcended.


    But soul tribulations disregarded the physical body, attacking the divine soul directly. It was equivalent to a divine soul attack, completely unavoidable.


    With Ye Yuan''s measures, when he withstood the soul-lightning dual tribulations back then, he nearly perished; his Dao almost dissipated.


    And what played a critical role in it was the soul tribulation!


    It was just that the soul tribulation this time was much stronger compared to that time.


    A purple bolt of lightning fell down with a loud crash. Lightning was partially hidden and partially visible and actually shuttled back and forth the void!


    Heavenly Soul Shield!


    Ye Yuan cried out lightly. Soul force suddenly erupted, forming an invisible barrier in front of him!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s body was directly sent flying out. He was spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood while in the air.


    Seeing this scene, the faces of everyone on the bank suddenly changed.


    Although the might of this soul tribulation was kind of expected early on, seeing Ye Yuan being directly bombarded heavy injuries, they did not expect it either.


    These few people were all aware that Ye Yuan was not only a martial artist, but he was also an alchemist. His attainments in the divine soul were very high.


    It could be seen from this how terrifying this soul tribulation was!


    Zhang Tianyi''s expression was solemn as he said, "That divine soul mystic art of Ye Yuan''s earlier, with my strength, I can''t shake it a single bit at all. But the soul tribulation actually blasted it to pieces! The power of this soul tribulation is too terrifying! If it were me, my soul would probably have dissipated already under that blow earlier. Really don''t know what on earth Ye Yuan did, to actually provoke such a powerful soul tribulation! The magnitude of this soul tribulation is not what Boundless Realms can withstand at all!"


    Everyone''s expression changed again!


    Even Zhang Tianyi this soul martial artist could not withstand a single hit from the soul tribulation. It could be seen how terrifying the power of this soul tribulation was.


    "Ye Yuan is probably �� in danger this time!" Zhang Tianyi said with a slightly grim expression.Yes, green.

 807 Divine Inscription!

    Another bolt of purple lightning arrived with a howl!


    Ye Yuan mustered up all of his soul force to deal with the second bolt of soul tribulation.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Ye Yuan was sent flying once more. His divine soul was already incredibly withered.


    This soul tribulation''s power was too great. Even if Ye Yuan''s divine soul already had substantial growth, he was completely not its match too.


    If another one or two more bolts slammed down, Ye Yuan might really have his soul disperse to the wind.


    When everyone on the shore saw this scene, they all could not bear to look straight at it.


    Such a genius, could it be that he was going to fall under this horrifying soul tribulation?


    The tribulation clouds in the sky rolled over and were currently brewing the next round of terrifying soul tribulation.


    Two bolts of soul tribulation made Ye Yuan''s divine soul sustain immensely severe injuries. Currently, he could not even accomplish standing up!


    Crack! Crack!


    Purple lightning rumbled down once more. Han Feng and the rest could distinctly sense that the power of the soul tribulation this time was even stronger than before!


    The few people on the shore closed their eyes. Clearly, they did not feel that Ye Yuan could endure this bolt of soul tribulation.


    Forget about them, even Ye Yuan himself did not believe that he could transcend this soul tribulation either. His sole reliance now was that black colored bead.


    Right then, a voice sounded out in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    "You idiot, why haven''t you quickly used the divine inscriptions?!"


    It was Long Teng''s voice!


    This old man already had not made a sound for very long. This time, he actually voice-transmitted to him out of the blue.


    But what was divine inscription?


    Ye Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. A hard to express syllable emitted out of his mouth. It was precisely that divine character he had just comprehended not long ago!


    "Mou ��"


    Right at this time, the soul tribulation arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    What amazed Ye Yuan was that the soul tribulation actually dissipated to nothing under this syllable!


    At virtually the same time, that black colored bead actually shed some black powder. Ye Yuan''s divine soul instantly recovered as good as new!


    "N-No way, right? Ye Yuan �� He didn''t die! Ah, pooh, pooh, pooh, didn''t die is good! Didn''t die is good!" Yang Xiao rambled.


    The scene which just took place seriously made people''s jaws hit the ground.


    They already ascertained that Ye Yuan was unable to cross the next round of soul tribulation. Did not expect that when the soul tribulation arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it actually dissipated to nothing, as if it had never existed!


    What was even more bizarre was that Ye Yuan''s current divine soul state was excellent, completely not like he sustained heavy wounds.


    What on earth happened in that instant just now?


    "What did he do just now? To actually annihilate the soul tribulation!" Zhang Tianyi said, not quite daring to believe it.


    "Just now, an odd syllable seemed to have emitted out of Ye Yuan''s mouth. Aside from this, he didn''t seem to have done anything either. Could it be that the soul tribulation being annihilated was related to that odd syllable?" Nalan Hong said with a frown.


    "Impossible! What kind of syllable is able to eradicate such terrifying soul tribulation power? What was that, to let his divine soul recover back to how it was?" Pei Kun said in disbelief.


    Nalan Hong shook his head. Clearly, he was rather uncertain what it meant either.


    He only faintly had some surmises. But Ye Yuan''s means, he could not figure them out at all.


    "Just carry on watching. If it''s really because of that weird syllable, he''ll definitely still use it again in a while!" Nalan Hong said.


    Ye Yuan himself was unbelievably shocked too. He did not expect that this syllable actually had such power, directly eradicating the soul tribulation!


    Long Teng, this old fellow, seemed to be constantly paying close attention to him.


    Cultivating the divine soul in the Vast Heaven Pagoda probably all landed in his sights.


    This old man kept saying that he was sleeping, but he was perfectly aware of the happenings in the Vast Heaven Pagoda!


    When Long Teng said finish that sentence earlier, he did not make any more sound, as if he entered into a slumber again.


    No matter how Ye Yuan called, he did not respond.


    Forget it. Right now, it''s still more pressing to deal with the soul tribulation. Won''t be late to find him again later, Ye Yuan thought to himself.


    The might of the divine inscriptions far surpassed Ye Yuan''s imaginations.


    No matter how powerful the soul tribulation was, when it arrived in front of him, it was immediately annihilated by one syllable!


    After an hour, the tribulation clouds finally dissipated. After experiencing life and death, Ye Yuan finally transcended the soul tribulation.


    Sensing his own divine soul a little, Ye Yuan was greatly taken aback!


    His divine soul was clearly just initial-stage perfection Alchemy Ancestor. But in terms of power, it was probably not inferior to late-stage Alchemy Ancestor!


    These divine inscriptions were indeed abnormally marvelous!


    Ye Yuan thought that his research into the divine soul was already very thorough. But the appearance of the divine inscriptions utterly subverted his understanding.


    What amazed Ye Yuan even more was that Long Teng actually knew that the golden characters were called divine inscriptions!


    This guy seemed to be hiding many secrets!


    Ji Zhengyang researched the golden characters for many years and did not even know that they were called divine inscriptions. This Long Teng actually knew!


    Ye Yuan was blasted to the shore long ago by the soul tribulation. By the time he came back to his senses from the elation of breaking through, he suddenly sensed several odd gazes sizing him up.


    "En? What''s going on? All looking at me like that for what?" Ye Yuan intentionally pretended to be puzzled.


    "Ye Yuan, you this fellow, your methods really emerge in endless streams! Earlier, I even thought that you were dead for sure. I didn''t think that you actually pulled through at the final juncture!" Yang Xiao said.


    "Huhu, just luck." Towards this, Ye Yuan did not wish to say too much.


    The divine inscriptions and reincarnation were the same. They were both secrets he concealed in his heart. It was impossible to talk about them to other people.


    But Yang Xiao clearly did not have the intention of asking too much. The few of them were all extremely talented figures and were deeply aware of the logic that everyone had their own secrets.


    It was just that they had a deeper understanding of Ye Yuan''s means.


    "I interrupted everyone''s cultivation. I''m seriously sorry about that. This Ye has already finished breaking through. Let''s continue?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi both nodded their heads, entering the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool with a leap.


    But after these two people entered, the expressions on their faces became anguished too. Very clearly, they could not persevere for a long time either. If there were no accidents, they should stop at the third level.


    Ye Yuan did not say another word too, jumping in directly.


    Ye Yuan entered the second level region but discovered that the pool water here was already completely ineffective to him.


    Looks like breaking through to the Boundless Realm previously and stimulating the power of dragon blood once more, regardless whether was it essence energy or the fleshy body, they all had a substantial increase. Hence, this second level region is already no use to me, Ye Yuan pondered to himself.


    Ye Yuan stepped into the third level immediately without any hesitation and discovered that the third level was not very useful to him either. Hence, Ye Yuan directly entered the fourth level!


    Seeing this scene, the three people on the shore stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape again.


    "Is this guy �� treating the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool as a normal pool? To actually walk to the fourth level straight away!" Pei Kun said speechlessly.


    He used all of his power and only walked to the second level. He did not expect that after Ye Yuan finished transcending the tribulation, he directly walked to the fourth level. This was too demoralizing.


    "Haha, Ye Yuan''s potential is probably far beyond this! Like I said, with his talent, how can he possibly stop at the second level?" Yang Xiao laughed loudly and looked at Pei Kun deridingly.


    Pei Kun''s expression was black as he darted Yang Xiao a fierce glare.

 808 Remolded Anew

    On the third day, Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi could not persist any longer, withdrawing out of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool.


    Right now, in the pool, there was only Ye Yuan alone left.


    And the present Ye Yuan already walked to the fifth level region!


    "Truly a terrifying fellow. He already walked to the fifth level, but he is completely indifferent!" Zhang Tianyi said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Regardless whether was it talent or strength, he lost completely to Ye Yuan.


    Even if he was any prouder, facing Ye Yuan''s terrifying talent, he had no choice but to lower his high head too.


    The truth was placed right in front. It was not up to him to deny.


    The five people saw that Ye Yuan still did not have the intention of withdrawing and could only consolidate the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s gains by the side and observe Ye Yuan''s progress at the same time.


    Actually, they could already leave the Crimson Afterglow Valley now. But not seeing which step Ye Yuan walked to, they were still not reconciled to it.


    In a blink, two days passed. Ye Yuan already arrived at the sixth level region and still did not have the intention of stopping.


    However, it already reached the time to exit the valley. If they still did not exit the valley, they would be sealed off in the Crimson Afterglow Valley for 300 year''s time!


    "Brother Ye, the hour has arrived! We''ve got to exit the valley!" Han Feng shouted to Ye Yuan.


    "You all go out first. I''m still continuing," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s remolding of his body was very apparent. A short five day''s time, his strength already soared by a wide margin.


    Making him go out now, how could Ye Yuan be willing?


    "Brother Ye, First Elder said before, if we don''t leave within five days, we''ll be trapped to death here!" Han Feng said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan had the grace of teaching to him. He could not bear to see Ye Yuan be trapped to death here.


    However, Ye Yuan no longer replied him.


    "Time to go! He''s willing to stay here, just let him remain here! If you guys are not going, I''m leaving first!"


    Pei Kun was the first one to be eliminated and had long lost interest in this place. If not for the sake of seeing where Ye Yuan could walk to, he would have left long ago.


    Outside the mountain valley had a light screen. Pei Kun leaped and vanished into the light screen.


    Nalan Hong looked at Ye Yuan''s back view, shook his head, and left too.


    "This guy really makes people unable to see through!"


    Yang Xiao muttered to himself and chose to leave as well. Zhang Tianyi followed closely behind.


    "Han Feng, still not going? The passageway is going to close!" Zhang Tianyi shouted to Han Feng.


    At this time, the light screen outside the mountain valley was already flickering, likely to die out at any time. If he still did not leave, he was really going to be trapped here.


    Han Feng gave a disappointed sigh and finally still turned around and left.


    Not long after Han Feng left, the light screen seemingly lost its final support too, vanishing from sight.


    Ye Yuan paid no attention to this and still cultivating himself by following his usual way of doing things.


    ...


    Five people''s silhouettes scurried out from the lake water. The lake water that was parted became one as well, turning into its initial-most appearance.


    First Elder looked at Pei Kun and the rest full of smiles. But his expression changed drastically very quickly!


    "Where''s Ye Yuan?" Chen Qin''s expression was frighteningly dark.


    "Ye Yuan was unwilling to part with the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s power and refused to come out till the end. We could only come out first," Pei Kun said helplessly.


    "What?! You''re saying that Ye Yuan is trapped in the Crimson Afterglow Valley?"


    Although he had long expected it in his heart, hearing Pei Kun say it out personally, he was still akin to be struck by lightning.


    Ye Yuan was the successor that Holy Lord personally designated. Now, he was actually trapped in the Crimson Afterglow Valley. This blunder was too over-the-top.


    Han Feng also said helplessly, "I urged Brother Ye before too, but he still refused to come out. Perhaps �� he has some means to be able to come out himself."


    "Nonsense! This grand array is one-directional and can only be activated outside the valley! Forget that he only has this bit of strength, even if the Holy Lord were trapped inside, he wouldn''t be able to return either!" Chen Qin lost composure and said.


    "This �� What to do about this then?"


    The moment Han Feng heard, he kind of panicked too. He did not wish for Ye Yuan to be trapped inside for 300 years.


    Chen Qin waved his hand, appearing quite irritated. "You guys return to the holy land yourselves. I''ll calm down a bit here and think what to do!"


    The five people did not dare to disobey and could only leave this mountain valley.


    After the five people left, a figure slowly appeared. It was precisely Tu You.


    "Holy Lord, this �� What to do about this?" First Elder''s words were actually exactly the same as Han Feng''s.


    Very clearly, First Elder lost a sense of propriety too.


    Tu You was not as concerned as imagined and instead, said, "Since he isn''t willing to come out, presumably, he might really have some measures. We''ll wait here for a month. After a month, if he still hasn''t come out, this Emperor will forcefully activate the grand array and let him come out!"


    First Elder''s expression changed as he said, "How can this do?! If Holy Lord forcefully opens up the grand array again, the remaining lifespan ��"


    Tu You said with a smile, "We are already at this present situation. This Emperor has long come to accept it already. The only thing I can''t let go of is the holy land. I promised Ye Yuan before to send him in a second time. If he can''t come out, I naturally have to keep my promise. If my death can exchange for his wholehearted dedication to the holy land, it''s worth it too."


    First Elder heaved a sigh. The self-reproaching expression on his face was laid bare in its entirety.


    He suddenly recalled a matter, slapped his thigh, and said, "Oh my, panicked earlier and forgot to ask those few brats which level region Ye Yuan made it to!"


    Tu You said with a smile, "To be able to stay a full five day''s time in the pool water, he at least entered the sixth level region too! Not asking is fine too. Maybe when he comes out, he can give us a pleasant surprise."


    ...


    After staying in the sixth level region fully, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm already successfully broke through to Second Level Boundless!


    At this time, if he took another step forward, he would enter the central region of the pool water, which was also the seventh level region!


    "ARGH!!"


    The moment he entered the seventh level region, Ye Yuan felt every cell in his body seethe over. He felt that his entire body was burning!


    This sensation of being set on fire all over his body instantly made his entire person starts convulsing.


    Ye Yuan could even feel that his skeleton was rattling!


    The pool water in this seventh level region was simply freakishly powerful!


    But Ye Yuan knew that as long as he endured through this agony, it would be immensely beneficial to his cultivation henceforth!


    The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s remolding of the martial artist''s body was an all-round process!


    At this time, the meridians in Ye Yuan''s entire body were already scoured many times over by the pool water!


    His current cultivation speed was as much as several times than before!


    Ye Yuan''s fleshy body''s cultivation endowments were very poor. If there wasn''t his previous life''s alchemy knowledge, it was impossible for him to reach this step today.


    In the past, it was all through the aid of medicinal pills that Ye Yuan could break through successively.


    All the way until Ye Yuan obtained true dragon''s blood, that it transformed the natural endowments of his physical body.


    But this time, Ye Yuan''s physical body obtained an overhauling transformation again on its original foundation!


    Right now, Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed was also not at all inferior to some rarely-seen spirit physiques.


    Even if he did not consume medicinal pills, Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed would not be any bit slower compared to others either!

 809 Encountering Danger at the Bottom of the Pool

    Three days elapsed in a flash!


    During these three days, Ye Yuan was enduring torture every second.


    This sort of anguish virtually made him faint away several times.


    If it were others, they would probably have failed to endure it and retreated back to the shore long ago. But Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and endured it!


    The torment of immolation finally gradually subsided on the third day. Ye Yuan floated on the water surface quietly and already did not have a trace of strength.


    No idea how long passed either, before he recovered some strength.


    "Argh!"


    Ye Yuan came to the shore and released all of the true dragon strength in his entire body with all his might!


    An inconceivable scene occurred. Below Ye Yuan''s neck, dark green dragon scales actually faintly emerged on his entire body!


    This physical body tempering truly makes people wish that they were dead! But enduring through this hurdle will be of extremely great help to my cultivation in the future! Right now, just this fleshy body strength of mine already reached peak Boundless Realm. Coupling with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, dealing with First Level Heaven Enlightenment martial artists is absolutely no issue! Ye Yuan pondered to himself.


    The disparity in strength between the Boundless Realm and the Heaven Enlightenment Realm was extremely great. The disparity between the Middle Three Realms and Upper Three Realms was extremely hard to cross.


    At present, Ye Yuan''s spirit rank dragon wave already comprehended to peak initial-stage spirit rank. Only by coupling with a powerful physical body could it cross this immense threshold.


    But speaking of which, ever since after Ye Yuan cultivated dragon wave to spirit rank, the rate of progress slowed considerably all at once.


    Spirit rank dragon wave was extremely hard to break through. Ye Yuan fumbled for a long time and also just barely managed to reach peak initial-stage spirit rank.


    But what made Ye Yuan glad was that even if this spirit rank dragon wave only advanced a tiny bit, the increase in the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s power was rather considerable.


    Presently, the power of Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was already way stronger compared to before.


    Taking a look at the dragon scales all over his body, Ye Yuan could not help smiling bitterly. "If I carry on cultivating, I won''t become a real dragon, right? Then wouldn''t I, a dignified human, turn into the dragon race? En? This sort of feeling appeared again. This feeling �� seems to be in the direction of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool. Could it be that there''s something at the bottom of this pool?"


    "Boy, you struck rich! There is a dragon race supreme treasure at the bottom of this pool! Hurry up and go down to bring it up!"


    Right at this time, Long Teng''s voice sounded out once more.


    "Senior, you finally came out! Can I please invite Senior to inform just what on earth divine inscriptions are?"


    Regarding the dragon race supreme treasure at the bottom of the pool, Ye Yuan was not in a hurry. Finally managed to nab Long Teng, his first reaction was to ask about the divine inscription matters first.


    However, after Long Teng said one sentence, there was no sound again.


    Ye Yuan gnashed his teeth hatefully in his heart. This fellow was clearly intentionally avoiding him!


    But speaking of which, even though Ye Yuan was already the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner now, he actually could not even find where Long Teng was located at!


    This guy was definitely hiding many secrets on him.


    But regarding Long Teng, Ye Yuan really could not do anything to him.


    Ye Yuan was very clear that even when he was at his prime, he might likely not be this old guy''s match either.


    By observing a part, one can infer the full picture. Ye Yuan reckoned that this Long Teng''s pinnacle period strength was likely not beneath the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    Helpless, Ye Yuan could only go to the bottom of the pool first to investigate properly.


    At this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, Ye Yuan walked to the core-most seventh level region. The pool water did not have much repulsion to him either anymore.


    Ye Yuan went in with a dive, sinking down to the bottom of the pool.


    Not long after sinking down, Ye Yuan felt a tremendous pressure transmit over, supporting his entire body from under towards the surface of the water. He could not sink down at all.


    Ye Yuan was very familiar with this pressure. It was precisely the pressure of the dragon race!


    Ye Yuan could not help being secretly alarmed. This Long Teng''s perception was truly sharp!


    He himself only faintly sensed that something was beckoning him at the bottom of this pool, but was entirely unable to determine what it was.


    But Long Teng could actually sense that it was a dragon race supreme treasure in the Vast Heaven Pagoda!


    One had to know that he had already sunk down a distance of several thousand feet now, before sensing this dragon race pressure.


    This dragon race pressure was rather powerful. If Ye Yuan did not temper his physical body in this pool water, it would likely be very hard to endure it.


    Right away, Ye Yuan did not dare to slight it either, immediately releasing true dragon power once more to withstand this pressure.


    Indeed, after releasing true dragon power, the pressure on Ye Yuan''s body eased up, and he continued sinking down towards the bottom of the pool.


    "This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool is actually so deep! I''ve already dived down several tens of thousands of feet deep and actually haven''t reached the bottom yet!" Ye Yuan could not help being alarmed inwardly.


    He had already dove down for close to two hours and actually had not reached the bottom yet. The depth of this pool water could be imagined.


    Furthermore, the further down to the bottom of the pool, the more powerful that dragon race pressure!


    If not for Ye Yuan refining true dragon blood essence, it was completely impossible to swim so deep.


    Right at this time, two streaks of gloomy light came from below. Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, thinking that it should be almost reaching the bottom of the pool.


    Could it be that the location of this gloomy light was the whereabouts of the treasure?


    Ye Yuan did not lower his guard. Generally, places that had treasures were all dangerous places.


    The more precious the treasure, the greater the danger accompanying it.


    Previously, Long Teng said that it was a dragon race supreme treasure. Ye Yuan did not know what kind of treasure it was either. But it looks as if it was probably not some ordinary item.


    Those two streaks of shiny green gloomy light became increasingly clearer, like two beams of lantern light, shooting up from the bottom of the pool.


    The bottom of the pool was pitch-black; unable to see one''s fingers when stretching out one''s hand. But after Ye Yuan''s body went through the remolding, his visual prowess was extremely good too.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Realm, grasping everything in the surroundings.


    Seeing as he was about to sink to the bottom of the pool, Ye Yuan finally saw clearly what those two beams of gloomy light were!


    All the pores on his entire body opened up. A sense of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    How was this some lantern light? It was a black flood dragon entrenched at the bottom of the pool!


    Ye Yuan saw distinctly that this black flood dragon''s head actually already gave birth to dragon horns. This was clearly the omen of about to turn into a dragon!


    This black flood dragon was going to transform into becoming a genuine true dragon very soon!


    This black flood dragon seemed to have long known that somebody was going to come down and actually restrained its aura. Ye Yuan only discovered it with the power of his naked eye by moving close in front too.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was merely around a thousand feet or so away from this black flood dragon.


    Although Ye Yuan was unable to perceive this black flood dragon''s cultivation, to be able to transform from a flood dragon into a dragon, it was at the minimum Phaseless Realm strength too!


    Phaseless Realm martial artists were not what the present Ye Yuan could resist.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan turned around and fled!


    "Ignorant human, to actually dare pry into this dragon''s treasure! Where are you running to?!"


    This black flood dragon actually spoke human language. His body shot out from the bottom of the pool like a cannonball, heading straight for Ye Yuan!


    This underwater was the black flood dragon''s domain in the end. The advantage of Ye Yuan''s speed could not be brought out at all. In a blink of an eye, the black flood dragon was going to catch up to Ye Yuan.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan was currently escaping when he suddenly turned around and gave a palm. This palm was already the limits of his strength.


    Boom!


    The black flood dragon was struck until his figure stopped. But he was completely unscathed.

 810 A Little Snake

    With this, Ye Yuan finally probed out this black flood dragon''s strength.


    It was indeed the Phaseless Realm!


    Furthermore, looking at it, it was actually at the high-level Phaseless Realm!


    This level of strength, Ye Yuan was not even enough to fill the crevices between his teeth!


    If it was the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Ye Yuan could still think of ways to deal with it. But the Phaseless Realm, Ye Yuan was at a complete loss on what to do.


    Earlier, if not for Ye Yuan reacting fast to the situation, the black flood dragon could annihilate him with a wave of a hand.


    Even so, it was also a certain death situation right now!


    "No wonder you want to covet this dragon''s treasure. I didn''t expect that a puny little human actually possesses such unadulterated dragon pressure! But it makes this dragon jealous! Brat, after this dragon eats you and refines all of your flesh and blood, it should be able to help me break through the fetters!"


    Being struck by Ye Yuan, the black flood dragon was not the least bit angry. From his words, one could instead faintly detect a hint of agitation.


    Even though the black flood dragon did not take human form, with his Phaseless Realm strength, his intellect was not the slightest bit inferior to humans. He was even smarter than most martial artists.


    Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm move earlier, the dragon pressure was pure to the extreme. It was countless times purer than the dragon race bloodline in his body!


    Then, Ye Yuan very likely refined true dragon bloodline. That was how he came to possess such a pure bloodline.


    As long as he devoured Ye Yuan''s fleshy body and blood, he naturally had ways to refine out blood essence!


    At that time, his impure true dragon bloodline would evolve by a large margin. Breaking through the fetters to transform from a flood dragon into a dragon would be close at hand!


    An intense sense of danger hit Ye Yuan''s heart. He urged his essence energy to the max, wanting to escape the black flood dragon''s pursuit.


    But it was all futile.


    The black flood dragon in the water was originally like fish in the water. His speed was much faster compared to Ye Yuan''s.


    In just a blink of an eye, the black flood dragon caught up to Ye Yuan.


    "Boy, become a meal in this dragon''s belly!"


    The black flood dragon gave a cold laugh and actually opened up his oversized jaws, wanting to grind Ye Yuan up in one bite!


    Ye Yuan clenched his jaws tightly and was currently awaiting mutual destruction, but he felt an even more terrifying dragon pressure envelope the entire bottom of the pool in an instant.


    A black silhouette suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan. The black flood dragon''s figure stopped abruptly and actually did not advance in fear!


    "Senior Long Teng!" Ye Yuan said with joy.


    Long Teng did not turn his head and just said faintly, "A little snake dares to proclaim as a dragon in vain too. Truly audacious gall! Don''t you know how severe the crime of pretending to be my dragon race is?"


    What made Ye Yuan astonished was that the black flood dragon actually trembled facing Long Teng.


    Long Teng was clearly a clone right now. His strength might not even be a match for this black flood dragon. But this black dragon was actually in fear. Truly inconceivable.


    "L-Lord Throne! This lowly subject knows his mistake! I beg Your Excellency to spare this lowly subject!"


    The black flood dragon''s unbearable arrogance from before actually vanished into thin air at this time. Facing Long Teng, the black flood dragon was actually like a rat that saw a cat.


    Ye Yuan could not help clicking his tongue in wonder when he saw. His dragon pressure was extremely pure as well. Why was this black flood dragon not afraid of him but was scared of Long Teng?


    Long Teng''s pinnacle period strength was indeed very terrifying. But right now, this sort of strength, seems like there was nothing for people to be afraid of, right?


    If the two people really fought, who would emerge victorious was still an unknown.


    Long Teng said coolly, "Capital punishment can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment! From today onwards, you''ll serve Ye Yuan as your master, all the way until Ye Yuan takes the initiative to set you free. Are you willing?"


    Nothing could be perceived from the black flood dragon''s face. But Ye Yuan clearly sensed his difficult emotions.


    Indeed, the black flood dragon opened his mouth and said, "This �� Lord Throne, how can our dragon race serve a human and for him to be our master?"


    Long Teng said disdainfully when he heard that, "Dragon race? A little snake dares to proclaim to be of the dragon race in vain too? Disregarding that you haven''t transformed from a flood dragon to a dragon yet, even if you really successfully transformed into a dragon, it''s also the lowest level dragon race bloodline. You dare to proclaim to be of the dragon race?"


    Long Teng''s words were utterly discourteous. Ye Yuan was stricken with terror hearing it at the side, fearful of him enraging this black flood dragon.


    But the black flood dragon was unexpectedly obedient facing Long Teng.


    It was just that this matter of serving him as master, he seemed to keep on hesitating.


    Long Teng felt rather annoyed and waved his hand and said, "Within five breaths, if you still don''t make a decision, I''ll make a move to destroy your several thousand years of cultivation! Five, four, three ��"


    Right as Long Teng counted to three, the black flood dragon finally could not endure it and opened his mouth and said, "Lord Throne, this lowly subject �� this lowly subject agrees to it!"


    The more Ye Yuan listened, the more bewildered he got. A clone of Long Teng''s could actually intimidate a late-stage Phaseless Realm black flood dragon?


    Could it be that this black flood dragon was a simpleton?


    "En, consider yourself sensible! The two of you enter a contract then. If you dare to play tricks, you should know the outcome!" Long Teng said coolly.


    The black flood dragon hurriedly said, "This lowly subject dare not!"


    Ye Yuan had a baffled look when he saw the situation.


    Just now, it was still life and death hanging by a thread. Did not think that in a twinkle, he took in a Phaseless Realm black flood dragon as a servant.


    With this black flood dragon, as long as he did not run into Dao Profound Realm powerhouses, with how vast this Divine Realm was, wouldn''t he be able to travel plenty of areas?


    Under Long Teng''s supervision, Ye Yuan and the black flood dragon entered a soul bond. This black flood dragon''s life and death were governed in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    "Blackwind pays respect to master!"


    The black flood dragon finally lowered his high head in front of Ye Yuan.


    Blackwind was this black flood dragon''s name.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En. You don''t need to feel wronged either. Following me, there will naturally be benefits for you in the future."


    Taking in the black flood dragon, Ye Yuan was finally aware of his strength too. Blackwind was at the great circle of the Phaseless Realm!


    But no matter how formidable Blackwind was, he was merely at the Phaseless Realm. As long as Ye Yuan recovered to his peak, even letting Blackwind reach Divine King Realm was not impossible either.


    To Ye Yuan, as long as there were sufficient heaven and earth spirit medicines, he could even train a group of Divine King powerhouse!


    Of course, creating divine kings was completely different from other cultivation realms.


    Refining Tier 9 and above medicinal pills, each heaven and earth spirit medicine required was all too rare. They were all things which could come by with luck, but not by searching for it.


    Even the former Medicine King Hall and Alchemist Association, these level of super major factions, could not put together a few sets either.


    Blackwind was Ye Yuan''s servant now. Towards Ye Yuan''s words, he naturally did not dare to disagree. But regarding the authenticity of Ye Yuan''s words, he clearly still harbored doubts.


    But Ye Yuan could not be inclined to explain anything either. In the future, he would naturally know Ye Yuan''s strength.


    After saying all these, Ye Yuan finally found time to find Long Teng to clear the doubts in his heart.


    Long Teng seemed to know what Ye Yuan wanted to ask and said smilingly, "This black flood dragon was originally just a little snake. The dragon race bloodline it contained was extremely scarce. But this fellow''s luck is extremely heaven-defying, to actually find a primeval dragon bone at the bottom of this pool. That''s how he got today''s achievements."


    Ye Yuan could not help being amazed when he heard that. His gaze when looking at Blackwind became somewhat astounded.


    Ye Yuan knew a little about the characteristics of the demon race''s bloodlines. To be able to cultivate and become a flood dragon from a little snake with a faint bloodline, then almost cultivate to become a true dragon from a flood dragon, Blackwind''s fortunes indeed deserved to be called heaven-defying.


    The chances of this sort of thing happening were way too small.

 811 Primeval Dragon Bone

    "Primeval dragon bone? What is that?"


    Ye Yuan understood a little about the demon race''s matters. But his understanding was clearly not as thorough as the human race.


    Especially the dragon race, this kind of proud clan. It hid many secrets unknown to people even more so.


    Long Teng did not speak and just said coolly, "Follow me."


    The two people and one flood dragon dove to the bottom of the pool. On a stone platform at the bottom of the pool, a glittering and translucent bone was placed. It should be the primeval dragon bone from Long Teng''s mouth.


    Seeing this chunk of primeval dragon bone, Ye Yuan was slightly shocked inwardly as well.


    The dragon race pressure coming from the dragon bone was incomparably powerful. It was actually even several times more intense compared to his own pressure!


    And the pool water around the dragon bone actually took on a pitch-black color.


    "In this pool, the water has the effect of cleansing the marrow. It''s all because of this primeval dragon bone! Just some energy overflowing from the dragon bone made all the water in this pool turn into a treasure trove. This little snake could continuously advance ranks because he was cultivating nearby as well, and was about to transform from a flood dragon into a dragon," Long Teng said.


    Only then did Ye Yuan come to a realization. Turns out that the source of this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was actually a dragon bone!


    This pool water was likely close to a hundred thousand feet deep. A measly little dragon bone was able to transform all the water in the pool into a heaven and earth natural treasure. The energy contained in the dragon bone itself could be seen at a glance!


    No wonder Long Teng said that he found a treasure. Turns out that he knew long ago.


    "Senior, in your present state, it''s probably very hard to deal with Blackwind, right? Why was he actually so fearful when he saw you?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    Long Teng seemed to have long expected for Ye Yuan to have this query and said with a smile, "The strictness of the demon race rankings far exceeds your imagination. Strength doesn''t represent everything. For this little snake to want to deal with me, being a hundred times stronger is more like it."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes went wide as he said, "A hundred times?"


    This Blackwind''s strength was already at the great circle of Phaseless Realm. Another hundred times stronger, how would that do?


    "Even though this little snake succeeded in evolving and his true dragon bloodline thickened a little as well, but even if he really transformed from a flood dragon into a dragon, it''s merely just the lowest class among the dragon race. The genuine clan of true dragons is likewise rigidly stratified. Unless he has another heaven-defying lucky chance and can break through to the Deity Realm, otherwise, he can forever only listen to higher-class dragon race''s orders," Long Teng said.


    The demon race had always been bloodline as the highest. This point was not hard to understand.


    But Ye Yuan did not think that similarly of the true dragon clan, the disparity in ranking was actually so great.


    Ye Yuan suddenly recalled something and asked, "Blackwind seemed to have called you something previously �� Throne?''


    Long Teng nodded his head and said, "In the dragon race, the ones possessing the purest bloodlines are hailed as the Royals. But in the same era, dragons who possess a Royal bloodline are extremely, extremely few. It can be said that the Royals are the genuine true dragon progenies! In the Divine Dao Era, as long as the Royals don''t perish, they will all be able to achieve the Deity Realm in the end!"


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath. He did not think that the dragon race still had such formidable existences.


    Certain chance to enter Deity Realm! How much providence did this require from heaven?!


    "So, in other words, Senior, you are a Royal?"


    Long Teng said proudly, "This seat was known as the dragon race''s number one genius back then. I''m naturally a Royal!"


    "Uh �� then that drop of blood essence you gave me?"


    "That is a Royal''s blood essence too! However, the foundation of this physical body of yours is too poor. That drop of blood essence wasn''t enough to let you evolve to a Royal. A Royal''s true dragon bloodline is much purer than you imagine!" Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan''s face revealed a disappointed expression. Regarding this kind of bloodline that could unequivocally enter the Deity Realm, Ye Yuan still quite yearned for it.


    Even if now was unable to achieve Deity Realm, the might of this sort of bloodline went without saying.


    What Ye Yuan needed now was strength!


    Seeing the disappointed look on Ye Yuan''s face, Long Teng smiled and said, "You don''t have to be disappointed either. That drop of blood essence not doing the trick doesn''t mean that this dragon bone won''t work."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior, just what is the background of this dragon bone?"


    "If I didn''t guess wrong, this should be a true dragon bone from the Primeval Era. Furthermore, it''s even the bone remains of a Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Long Teng clearly did not know the origins of this dragon bone either. But this did not hinder his conjectures about this dragon bone.


    Ye Yuan turned pale with fright and said, "Primeval Era! Doesn''t that mean that it has already been a million years since then?"


    The history of the Divine Realm had no verifiable records. But according to the division of eras, one million years ago from today was the Primeval Era. And this time of period where the Divine Dao dwindled to zero within a million years was known as the Ancient Era.


    Long Teng said that this dragon bone was a true dragon bone from the primeval era. Then it naturally had over a million years of history.


    Truly have no way of imagining that a piece of dragon bone could preserve for a million years and not decay. How formidable was the strength of the owner of this dragon bone when he was alive?


    "Heh, you, this brat, know quite a bit. That''s right, this dragon bone is indeed an object from a million years ago! But because that era was too far back, the Divine Dao aura on this dragon bone already dissipated to nothing. Therefore, you can also forget about prying into any Divine Dao secrets from it. But with this piece of primeval dragon bone, it can be greatly surmised that your bloodline has the chance to evolve to a Royal bloodline."


    Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile, seemingly seeing through something.


    Ye Yuan''s heart went cold. This old fellow was shrewd and crafty as if he realized a little something.


    Each and every one of his actions was all under his surveillance. He probably guessed some things long ago.


    Except that it looks like Long Teng did not seem to have any ill-intent towards him.


    However, since the other party did not expose it, Ye Yuan might as well carry on pretending to be muddle-headed.


    Ye Yuan pondered and said, "This dragon bone should be a priceless treasure to Senior as well, right? Why is Senior giving it to me?"


    Long Teng chortled with laughter and said, "I, this bunch of old bones, have long lost the qualifications to seek out Deity Realm already. Refining another 10 pieces of dragon bones like this is a waste too. Might as well benefit you, this brat."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly guessing Long Teng''s intentions of doing so.


    Without any doubt, this Long Teng was deliberately grooming him. But what purpose he had for doing so, Ye Yuan had no way of knowing.


    Seems like under this sort of situation now, Ye Yuan had no other choice as well. Even if it was to quench his thirst with poison, Ye Yuan had to drink it too!


    From the intel obtained from Zhao Qian there, Ji Canglan might have reached Ten Great Divine Kings strength already. This information was akin to a massive mountain crushing on Ye Yuan''s heart.


    What he needed now was strength!


    The allure of a Royal bloodline to Ye Yuan was tremendous!


    "Then thank you very much, Senior! Ye Yuan still has a query. The divine inscriptions that Senior talked about before, what on earth is it? What relation does it have with the Deity Realm?"


    Now that it came to this, Ye Yuan was already very certain that these divine inscriptions were absolutely things which belonged to a Deity Realm powerhouse.


    It was just that how to use this thing, Ye Yuan was still at a loss.


    Since Long Teng could shout out divine inscription with certainty, he presumably still had some understanding of it.


    "Divine inscriptions are the dragon race''s secret. You''re not of the dragon race yet. I can''t tell you. After you thoroughly refine this piece of dragon bone and achieve a Royal bloodline, I''ll tell you the matters about the divine inscriptions another time," Long Teng said nonchalantly.

 812 Overwhelming Pain to the Extent of Wishing for Death!

    Ye Yuan thought all along that these divine inscriptions his father obtained were unique. But he did not expect that the dragon race actually had knowledge of these divine inscriptions long ago.


    Looks like these divine inscriptions were also a highly classified level secret in the dragon clan.


    Hearing the meaning in Long Teng''s words, it was evident that only a true dragon Royal had the qualifications to know.


    Since Long Teng said such words, it was naturally not right for Ye Yuan to ask again.


    Matters regarding Deity Realm, regardless of anyone in any race, they would all be extremely cautious.


    This sort of secret definitely would not be brought out to share with others.


    For Long Teng to be able to promise to tell him was clearly making an exception already. Otherwise, how could he possibly loosen up his lip for him, a human?


    "Refining this dragon bone is not the work of a single day. Moreover, the process is extremely painful. You have to be mentally prepared," Long Teng said.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth twitched, and he asked, "H-How painful is it?"


    Ye Yuan had a foreboding premonition. When tempering the fleshy body in the pool water previously, it was already agonizingly painful.


    And this pool water was just a tiny bit of energy leaked out of the dragon bone. Therefore, the agony of refining the dragon bone itself would definitely be more terrifying than before.


    "Compared to your tempering in the pool water previously, it''s definitely a hundred times more painful! If you can''t withstand it, there''s even the possibility of committing suicide because of the torment! Therefore, before refining, you have to think clearly," as Long Teng said, he sized up Ye Yuan''s expression.


    Ye Yuan''s heart palpitated. That sort of agony previously already made people wished for death. If it was a hundred times more painful, then what kind of sensation was that?


    Ye Yuan''s scalp tingled, and he unwittingly became somewhat fearful towards this primeval dragon bone.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, Long Teng said with a smile, "What? Scared?"


    Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, "Isn''t Senior a little immature to be using this kind of goading technique to deal with me? Refining must definitely be done. But I need to adjust my mindset a little."


    Ye Yuan''s yearned for power to the extreme. It was not possible to give up such a fine opportunity.


    Furthermore, Long Teng said that after he achieved royal bloodline, he would even tell him the information about the divine inscriptions.


    "Huhu, I have confidence in you. This primeval dragon bone is extremely hard to come by and is indeed a dragon race supreme treasure. Refining the dragon bone is actually just fusing this dragon bone into your skeleton. After refining, not only can you achieve royal bloodline, it can even make the power of your dragon race martial techniques double! At that time, your physical body will be indestructible! This little snake''s bloodline is impure and completely can''t withstand the dragon pressure in this dragon bone. Otherwise, how can this thing benefit you?" Long Teng said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he unwittingly started to look forward to it secretly.


    ...


    Obtaining the dragon bone, Ye Yuan returned to the water surface and started meditating.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan''s state of mind entered a state of a dried-up well without ripples, and he began refining the dragon bone!


    Yet, only upon refinement did Ye Yuan realized that the hundred times more painful that Long Teng mentioned was still a little light. Saying that it was a thousand times was, in fact, not overboard.


    That feeling of pain penetrating to the deepest area of the heart really made him better off dead!


    "ARGH!!"


    Ye Yuan rolled on the ground from the pain and even used his fists to slam fiercely on the ground.


    In the end, he actually directly used his own head and banged against a rock!


    Boom!


    With a single knock, debris flew everywhere, scattering all over the ground.


    Ye Yuan even thought that Long Teng said it rather exaggeratedly previously. No matter how painful, could it hurt until he committed suicide?


    But now, he really wanted to directly end his own life!


    The bones all over Ye Yuan''s body was rattling and creaking as if it was going to splinter into pieces straight away. This was truly hurting deep to the marrow!


    This sort of agony, it was completely unimaginable by ordinary people.


    Seeing Ye Yuan like this, the Blackwind by the side was somewhat uneasy. He could not resist asking Long Teng, "Lord Throne, can Master �� pull through?"


    Long Teng''s expression fell slightly too as he said, "If it were others, I wouldn''t advise him to refine the dragon bone at all. But Ye Yuan, I''m still very confident in him. As for whether or not he can push through �� it''ll be up to him. The first refinement of this primeval dragon bone is the most painful; it is simply unable to imagine. Pulling through, the skies will be vast with brilliant prospects. If can''t tide over ��"


    Long Teng clearly did not have absolute confidence when saying this too.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan flew towards the sky, but with the essence energy cut off, he fell directly out of the sky, hurtling down with a dull crash.


    With this, Ye Yuan was much quieter.


    His entire person curled up on the ground, quivering.


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth tightly, emitting grinding sounds.


    Many times, he fainted from the pain but woke up from the agony again.


    Repeating like this over and over, his consciousness gradually became fuzzy.


    How could the current Ye Yuan still have leftover strength to deploy whatever Heart Like Monolith. What was supporting him was just a conviction!


    That was the conviction for revenge!


    Now that Blackwind acknowledged Ye Yuan as master, he was deeply affected by his anguish as if he was experiencing it himself.


    He wanted to go over and support Ye Yuan many times but was stopped by Long Teng.


    "Going over to help him now is harming him!" Long Teng''s expression was grim, and he only nonchalantly left behind this sentence.


    To the current Ye Yuan, every minute, every second, was endless.


    In a blink, a day''s time passed. But to Ye Yuan, it was like a lifetime had passed.


    His body was still continuously twitching on the ground, the joints of his fingers kneading with cracking sounds, making people extremely pained when they saw.


    Two days, three days �� five days!


    When it reached the fifth day, Long Teng suddenly stared with wide eyes, the gaze looking at Ye Yuan revealed a pained look.


    Ye Yuan was still huddled up on the ground, but his right hand reached out quiveringly, and actually slowly pressed down towards the top of his head!


    "Master, don''t!" Blackwind howled and was going to stop Ye Yuan was committing suicide!


    Yet, before his figure moved, he was forcefully stopped by Long Teng.


    Long Teng''s expression was as dark as water as he said, "This is his most difficult hurdle. Toughing it out, he''ll receive endless benefits! Now, it will depend on how strong his willpower is!"


    Long Teng stared fixedly at Ye Yuan''s palm, shouting non-stop in his head: Ye Yuan, you mustn''t give up!


    ...


    "Holy Lord, right now �� one month''s time is almost up!" Chen Qin said with a complicated expression.


    A month''s time was up. Yet, the Crimson Afterglow Valley still had no activities. Ye Yuan still did not come out.


    This signified that Tu You was going to expend the last of his lifespan to open up the grand array.


    This grand array had five days of debilitated period every 300 years. Opening up the grand array at this time was the easiest.


    The five days of debilitated period had already passed now. For Tu You to forcefully open up the grand array, the price expended would be much greater.


    In his present condition, whether he could open up the grand array or not was still another matter altogether.


    But regardless whether it could open or not, he was certain to die!


    However, Tu You''s expression appeared rather calm. He said with a smile, "Looks like heaven wills it so! Ye Yuan''s talent is sufficient to support my Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s future! Using this not much lifespan of mine to exchange for his safe return, worth it!"


    "Holy Lord!" Chen Qin''s tears coursed down his old face.


    Tu You patted his shoulder smilingly and said, "All good things must come to an end! After I die, you have to assist Ye Yuan well. Let him grow up as quickly as possible!"


    Chen Qin nodded his head with tears in his eyes.

 813 White Light Leaves

    Rumble!


    Tu You was currently waiting to cast a spell to forcefully open the grand array when all of a sudden, the earth shook, and the mountains moved!


    Tu You and Chen Qin''s expression both changed drastically!


    "This �� What''s going on? The grand array that Forefather set up actually �� actually collapsed!" Tu You was battered out of his senses.


    This grand array was the barrier to conceal the Crimson Afterglow Valley. It was precisely with the grand array that the Crimson Afterglow Valley could stand tall for so many years.


    But now, this grand array actually utterly collapsed before their very eyes!


    Lake water, verdant mountains, green grass, everything before their eyes became illusionary. Finally, the Crimson Afterglow Valley recovered its original appearance. The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was completely exposed to the world.


    "This �� What to do about this?" Chen Qin said in a panic.


    A man dressed in white clothing slowly walked out from the valley. Behind him actually followed a black-colored flood dragon!


    When Tu You saw this scene, his expression could not help changing.


    This black flood dragon was actually at the great circle of the Phaseless Realm Realm!


    "It''s Ye Yuan!" Chen Qin suddenly cried out.


    Tu You''s expression fell. He naturally knew that it was Ye Yuan. But why would a black flood dragon be following behind Ye Yuan?


    The situation was unclear. Tu You did not dare to rashly step forward to greet either.


    If he were at his prime, he naturally would not care about the black flood dragon. But in his present state, to really face off against the black flood dragon, who would emerge victoriously was really hard to say.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked closer and clasped his hands at the two with a smile and said, "Holy Lord, First Elder! Long time no see. I''ve made the two of you worry."


    Tu You nodded his head and looked at the black flood dragon behind Ye Yuan rather vigilantly.


    Ye Yuan understood and said with a smile, "You two don''t need to be alarmed. Blackwind is my newly acquired servant. He won''t be detrimental to the Holy Land. It''s just that the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool �� will probably be unable to be used anymore in the future."


    "What did you say?!" Chen Qin was shocked once more in his heart.


    The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was where the foundation of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land lay. Now, Ye Yuan actually said that it could not be used anymore!


    This was undoubtedly akin to a bolt out of the blue for the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Tu You heaved a sigh and said, "This grand array uses the energy in the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool as the foundation. Now that the grand array is utterly wrecked, the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool clearly met with an upheaval too. In the future, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will probably have to run its own course."


    When Chen Qin heard that, his expression became extremely ugly too.


    Regarding this sort of situation, Ye Yuan was quite remorseful as well.


    This grand array was set up extremely ingeniously. The level of the person who set up the formation was probably not at all inferior to him either.


    But this array formation used the energy in the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool as the foundation, while the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool used the primeval dragon bone as the foundation. Now that the primeval dragon bone had a small portion refined by him, it already fused into his body, which was equivalent to destroying the grand array''s foundation. Hence, that was why it would result in this scene before their eyes happening.


    At the critical moment previously, his father''s, Ji Zhengyang''s, sincere advice before he passed away surfaced in his head. Recalling that smile of his father which was filled with hope, Ye Yuan forcefully reined in the thought of ending himself.


    That was the hope for him to live on well. This hope was like the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery, letting Ye Yuan find the courage to live on!


    Just as Long Teng said, after Ye Yuan made it through this hurdle, he actually just pulled through a few days afterward just like that.


    After around 20 days, Ye Yuan finally refined the primeval dragon bone preliminarily. This also resulted in the grand array''s collapse.


    After refining the primeval dragon bone, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm already rose to the Fourth Level Boundless. The strength of his physical body went up another level, strength comparable to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm!


    This trip to the Crimson Afterglow Valley could be said to have tremendous harvests to Ye Yuan.


    It was just that the price was destroying the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s foundation.


    "You �� In a month''s time, not only did you break through to Boundless Realm, you even broke through four minor boundaries consecutively, reaching the Fourth Level Boundless Realm!" Tu You suddenly discovered Ye Yuan''s transformation and exclaimed in shock.


    Chen Qin''s emotional fluctuation earlier was huge and did not notice Ye Yuan''s transformation either. Taking a look at this time, it was indeed so!


    Even if he entered the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, this kind of improvement speed was also a little too terrifying, right?


    "This was all thanks to the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool. It''s just that sadly �� it seems like the energy I absorbed was a little excessive. That''s how it resulted in ��" Ye Yuan said, rather embarrassed.


    Tu You waved his hand and said rather excitedly, "If my conjectures are correct, you should have entered the seventh level region, right?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, but he thought to himself helplessly: More than just the seventh level region, I even excavated the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s foundation.


    But Tu You did not know the reason why and said excitedly, "My Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, only Forefather alone reached the seventh level region to this day too! As long as you can break through to Ninth Level Dao Profound, it can protect my Crimson Afterglow Holy Land close to ten thousand years of prosperity. What does losing a Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool count as? Since you''ve already come out from the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, I wonder if you agree to my request previously or not?"


    Tu You looked at Ye Yuan rather hopefully. Previously, Ye Yuan kept on refusing to relent. But now, Tu You raked up the past matter.


    Ye Yuan cried out sly old fox inwardly, but he said helplessly, "Now that it came to this, is there still leeway for me to refuse?"


    Ye Yuan was not that sort of person who wiped their mouths clean after eating, tearing down the bridge after crossing the river. He obtained tremendous benefits in the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool and even ruined the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s foundation.


    If he still did not promise Tu You, he would not even be able to live with himself.


    Tu You was dead certain about this point as well, that was why he brought up the past matter.


    He also knew that if not for the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool being utterly useless now, Ye Yuan probably would not promise him at all.


    But now, it was very hard for Ye Yuan to refuse no matter what.


    Of course, if Ye Yuan really refused, this kind of person was undeserving of him to groom as well.


    Hearing that, Tu You was overjoyed as he said, "Good! From today onwards, you''re the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Young Lord! The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will do everything in its power to help you to break through to Dao Profound as soon as possible!"


    ...


    Half a month later, Tu You issued a decree, announcing to the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, appointing Ye Yuan as the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Young Lord!


    Nine Quasi-Holy Sons entered the holy hall together with the Seven Holy Sons, to assist Ye Yuan''s rule with all their power!


    The various major families had to obey Ye Yuan''s orders and comply with Ye Yuan''s dispatchment!


    This decree stirred up a mighty uproar in the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Young Lord, according to custom, was always selecting the strongest one out of the Seven Holy Sons, and then making an announcement after the person broke through to Phaseless Realm.


    But this time, the Holy Lord actually behaved contrary to his normal self and directly appointed Ye Yuan who was only Boundless Realm as the Young Lord!


    Although there were First Elder and the various holy hall elders'' support, this appointment still aroused quite a bit of opposition voices.


    Towards this sort of opposing voices, Ye Yuan did not care a whit. He was currently vexing over another matter right now.


    Since he promised to become the Holy Land''s Young Lord, Ye Yuan naturally would not carry on living in Ancient Opulence City.


    He ordered people to fetch Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan and the rest to the Holy Land but did not expect that they actually brought over a piece of news.


    White Light actually left!


    Fortunately, White Light left a message for Ye Yuan before departing.


    But the message White Light left behind only had a few words: We''ll meet again another day! I''m going to the Demon Region!

 814 Accepting Challenge!

    The Demon Region was not a territory with only a single region.


    The Divine Realm had a thousand regions. While the Demon Region occupied roughly one-fifth.


    The remainder four-fifth consisted of regions for humans.


    Of course, human regions had quite a number of demon race experts too. But to the dragon clan and the white tiger clan, this sort of clans, they basically could not be seen in human territory.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that White Light might have awakened some inheritances memories and had compelling difficulties, that was why he would leave without saying goodbye.


    Being informed that White Light left, Ye Yuan could not help feeling somewhat lost.


    This goodbye, no idea what year and what day could they meet again either.


    Ye Yuan was quite worried for White Light too. After all, he was only at Tier 6 right now. Wandering around the Divine Realm was still a little too dangerous.


    From the White Valiant Region to the Demon Region, in between this had to cut across many major regions. The storms involved naturally went without saying.


    It was just that White Light already left. Even if Ye Yuan went to find, it was not possible to find him either.


    The Divine Realm was too big!


    Furthermore, the demon race was very averse towards humans. If Ye Yuan went over with his current strength, he would not even be enough to fill the crevices between their teeth.


    The White Tiger Region had quite a number of Divine King powerhouses.


    At the same time he announced Ye Yuan becoming the Young Lord, Tu You also declared pompously to enter terminal seclusion, planning to break through to the Second Level Dao Profound!


    Of course, all this was just in order to pull the wool over people''s eyes.


    With Tu You''s present condition, forget about assaulting Second Level Dao Profound, passing away in meditation a day later would have to thank heaven and earth.


    But Tu You''s meaning was already planning on handing over the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land entirely to Ye Yuan.


    Without the least bit of surprise, the first time Ye Yuan convened the Elders Council to discuss matters, he met with a strong rebound.


    The Elders Council was formed by the holy hall''s elders and ordinary elders. These elders were all Phaseless Realm experts without exception.


    There were three holy hall elders, while ordinary elders had ten, respectively representing the Holy Land''s ten great families.


    "First Elder, according to the Holy Land''s rules, before appointing a young lord, the Holy Lord has to go through the Elders Council''s approval for it to be carried out. This time, after Holy Lord issued the decree, he directly chose to enter closed-seclusion. We didn''t even get to meet him! Could it be that the Holy Lord is planning on kicking us ten great families all out of the Holy Land?" an ordinary elder said.


    "Even if Ye Yuan obtained first place in the Quasi-Holy Son competition, rashly letting him inherit the position of young lord directly, is it too hasty?"


    "Ye Yuan is merely just at the Boundless Realm. His strength is way worse compared to the Seven Holy Sons. On what basis to take this position of young lord?" The one talking this time was the Wu Family''s elder, named Wu Siyuan.


    These ten great families'' strength were all very formidable. It could be said to occupy half of the Holy Land''s landscape.


    Moreover, the Holy Hall''s disciples, there were probably over half that came from these ten great families. Therefore, their positions in the Holy Land were extremely high.


    Of course, no matter how high the position, as long as these families could not produce a Dao Profound Realm, it was to no avail as well.


    The disparity between Dao Profound Realm and Phaseless Realm was like cloud and mud. Not entering Dao Profound, even if their forces were any greater, they were just paper tigers too.


    It was as easy as turning over the palm for the Holy Lord to want to exterminate these families.


    Therefore, in a Rank Nine Holy Land, the Holy Lord was a paramount divinity.


    First Elder snorted coldly when he heard that and said, "Could it be that each and every one of you wishes to rebel? The Holy Land''s Elders Council has to listen to the Holy Lord''s wishes for everything! Since the Holy Lord already made the decision, do you guys dare to disobey?"


    But when Wu Siyuan heard that, he said, "First Elder, these words are wrong. Holy Lord''s wishes, we naturally dare not object. But this Ye Yuan inheriting the position of the young lord, is it truly Holy Lord''s intentions? You count for yourself, how many years has it been since we, these ten old fellows, haven''t seen the Holy Lord?"


    Ever since Tu You had a great loss in longevity, most of his time was in closed-seclusion and not exiting, so as to reduce the depletion of longevity.


    Those able to see him was also just First Elder.


    Even the other two of the holy hall elders rarely saw him.


    After so many years, the ten great elders had long had suspicions about whether or not Tu You was still in good health.


    Although the decree this time was on a grand and spectacular scale, the ten great families had some doubts about the authenticity of this decree.


    Especially since the Wu Family was very opposed to Ye Yuan. Once Ye Yuan became the young lord, it would definitely be very unfavorable to the Wu Family.


    Therefore, Wu Siyuan being opposed to Ye Yuan was naturally within reason too.


    Furthermore, the Ten Great Families were actually competing in the dark too these few years, all for the sake of the ascendancy problem of the next Holy Lord.


    If their family''s disciple became the Young Lord, it would naturally be when one man attains Dao, his fowls and dogs ascend to heaven too, with the entire family benefiting along with this as well.


    Therefore, the quotas to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley this time, the competition between the Holy Sons were very fierce too. But in the end, it was Nalan Hong, Yang Xiao, and Pei Kun, the three people who were a notch above.


    The strength differences between the Seven Holy Sons were not big. Most were around Fourth Level to Fifth Level Heaven Enlightenment. And these three people''s strengths were clearly a level higher.


    Speaking of which, even though the Wu Family''s strength was formidable, there was really no member of the Wu Family among the Seven Holy Sons.


    Originally, Wu Jianton had the greatest hope of catching up from behind. Who could have thought that the Quasi-Holy Son competition this time, he was beaten black and blue in defeat?


    "Wu Siyuan, your meaning is that this Chen is forcing the emperor to do my bidding so as to command the dukes and princes? Have you thought about the consequences of saying this?" Chen Qin said with a cold smile.


    Wu Siyuan''s expression changed, but he still said unyieldingly, "First Elder, I didn''t mean that! You''re making slanderous charges here! Our ten great families are steadfast and loyal to the Holy Land. But Holy Lord not meeting us for so many years, it can''t be avoided that we have some notion, right? And the decree this time is issued bafflingly. I seriously can''t figure out what right a puny little Divine Traversing Realm has to take on the position of Young Lord!"


    "Just based on Ye Yuan entering into the seventh level region in the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool! Could it be that this reason is still not enough?" Chen Qin said with a cold snort.


    At this time, the Nalan Family''s elder, Nalan Xin opened his mouth to speak too: "First Elder, my Nalan Family is staunch and steadfast to the Holy Lord. I believe that everyone knows that. It''s just that Holy Lord''s current condition, we''re indeed all very concerned. To talk about entering a retreat to assault Second Level Dao Profound, this seclusion time is truly a bit too long. Ye Yuan inheriting the position of young lord, by right, we shouldn''t question. But I heard Hong-er say that when they came out, Ye Yuan was only at the sixth level region. As for whether he entered the seventh level region or not, we have no way of knowing either."


    With Nalan Xin saying this, First Elder''s face immediately became completely black.


    Looks like Holy Lord not showing face for several decades, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was already jittery.


    Nalan Xin''s words, no one would call into question. Because they were indeed loyal and faithful to the Holy Land. Just the Phaseless Realm Nalan Family clan members who died for the Holy Land were as many as over a dozen.


    Looks like these ten great elders had long become suspicious towards him.


    Letting Ye Yuan inherit the position of young lord this time, the ten great elders finally erupted.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan who kept silent and did not speak all along finally opened his mouth: "Elders'' skepticism towards me is nothing more than thinking that Ye Yuan''s strength is shallow and is insufficient to inherit the position of young lord. Since that''s the case, Ye Yuan is willing to accept the challenge of anyone among the Seven Holy Sons! If Ye Yuan loses, this position of young lord, not serving as one is fine too!"

 815 Absolute Strength!

    Among the Seven Holy Sons, the strongest one at present was naturally Nalan Hong.


    And this time, Ye Yuan''s opponent was precisely Nalan Hong!


    Actually, Nalan Hong did not have any complaints regarding Ye Yuan inheriting the position of young lord.


    Ye Yuan''s talent was placed there. Even if he was not his match right now, surpassing him did not need much time either.


    Even if Ye Yuan did not enter the seventh level region in the end, he at least entered the sixth level region too. Ye Yuan was way stronger than him, Nalan Hong.


    This kind of genius, he could not hold a candle to him.


    But when Nalan Xin told him this matter, Nalan Hong agreed without any hesitation.


    Honestly speaking, he was very curious about Ye Yuan''s present strength as well!


    Missing this opportunity, he might not have the chance to fight with Ye Yuan in the future.


    One was because of identity, another was because of strength.


    Nalan Hong heard that Ye Yuan was already Fourth Level Boundless now. With such a great improvement in a short one month''s time, surpassing him likely would not take much time either.


    But this battle still stirred up a great uproar in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Boundless Realm battling Heaven Enlightenment!


    Virtually a certain defeat scenario!


    Everyone did not know how Ye Yuan had the confidence to beat a genius martial artist like Nalan Hong!


    It was true that Ye Yuan''s talent was great. But looking down on all heroes under the heaven was his mistake.


    At this time, at the Holy Land''s plaza, a large, dense crowd of people surrounded.


    The entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was practically empty in the streets. Everyone came to observe this showdown between the new and old, two generations of geniuses.


    Ye Yuan said personally that as long as he lost this battle, he would give up the position of young lord!


    This battle affected the hearts of everyone in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    "Boundless Realm challenging Heaven Enlightenment Realm. This is simply jesting! This isn''t a disparity of a major cultivation realm, but a disparity between the Middle Three Realms and Upper Three Realms! Can there be people capable of crossing this wide chasm?"


    "Don''t be silly, you! This match isn''t Ye Yuan challenging Nalan Hong, but Nalan Hong challenging Ye Yuan! But Ye Yuan is over a major cultivation realm worse than Nalan Hong. How can he possibly win?"


    "Ye Yuan is indeed a peerless genius. But even if his supreme true intent is comprehended to the fifth-stage, it''s not possible to win Nalan Hong either, right?"


    "Really don''t know how Ye Yuan thinks, to actually agree to such a challenge. If he''s defeated, where will Holy Lord''s face be placed?"


    The small groups in the crowd were all discussing fervently.


    However, the public opinion was practically one-sided, feeling that Nalan Hong would obtain victory.


    Not that they did not believe Ye Yuan''s talent, but the gap between Ye Yuan and Nalan Hong was too great!


    If Ye Yuan had Ninth Level Boundless strength, they would definitely feel that Ye Yuan would win.


    But Fourth Level Boundless verses Fifth Level Heaven Enlightenment, there �� was nothing good to compete!


    No matter how great the talent, it was also impossible to cross such a great disparity.


    On the grandstand, the three great holy hall elders and the ten great families'' elders were all in attendance! This kind of standard could be said to be the highest benchmark apart from the holy lord. The degree of importance they attached to this battle could be seen.


    At this time, Chen Qin''s expression was very ugly.


    Other people thought that Ye Yuan wanted to be this young lord a lot, but he knew that Ye Yuan did not care at all. He did not agree even when holy lord personally invited.


    Could it be that this brat deliberately said those kinds of words so as to better shirk off this position of young lord?


    If it was really like this, Holy Lord''s painstaking effort was wasted in vain!


    On the arena, Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. But facing the powerful Nalan Hong, he was not the least bit afraid.


    Everybody could not understand just where Ye Yuan''s confidence was coming from.


    "Where''s your sword? Could it be that you want to fight with me bare-handedly?"


    Ye Yuan did not draw his sword up until now. Nalan Hong was very uncertain.


    He had seen before Ye Yuan''s fifth-stage sword intent and naturally knew that what Ye Yuan was strongest at was sword intent.


    But looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, it seemed like he did not have the intention of drawing his sword.


    He was at any rate the leader of the Seven Holy Sons. Wasn''t it underestimating people too much like this?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Using a sword, you''re not my match. So I won''t use the sword."


    Nalan Hong''s eyebrows jumped. He was greatly astonished in his heart.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan not drawing his sword was in order to intentionally humiliate him. But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to admit that using a sword, Nalan Hong was not his match.


    Could it be that fifth-stage supreme true intent was not yet Ye Yuan''s limits? Could it be that this guy still had more powerful means?


    How was this possible?


    Could it be divine soul mystic arts?


    That was even less likely! Ye Yuan''s soul force was at best just Alchemy Ancestor Realm too. Under the situation where he was prepared to some extent, it would not pose any threat to him at all.


    Seeing Nalan Hong''s expression, Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You don''t need to try to guess. You''ll know right away! Then �� let''s begin!"


    Nalan Hong revealed a solemn expression and nodded his head.


    The more Ye Yuan was calm like so, the greater the ominous premonition in Nalan Hong''s heart!


    "Humph! Pretending to be profound! At the Quasi-Holy Son competition, his means were all studied thoroughly. What other tricks could he still have that can cross the gap between Upper Three Realms and Middle Three Realms?" Wu Siyuan said disdainfully.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan moved!


    The moment Ye Yuan moved, Nalan Hong''s expression changed drastically, immediately mustering all the essence energy in his body, and bracing up an essence energy shield!


    Because he did not have leftover time to carry out other responses at all!


    Without the slightest essence energy''s undulation, Ye Yuan''s figure rumbled towards him like a cannonball!


    Turns out that Ye Yuan''s reliance was actually his physical body!


    Clank!


    A crisp sound. Ye Yuan''s fist smashed onto Nalan Hong''s sword, without the least bit of flashiness!


    One punch, the crowd were all flabbergasted!


    Nalan Hong, this Heaven Enlightenment Realm expert, was actually smashed flying by Ye Yuan immediately!


    And the longsword in his hand snapped with a clank!


    "W-What the hell! The longsword in Nalan Hong''s hand is a high-grade profound artifact. Ye Yuan actually only relied on the fleshy body and snapped a high-grade profound artifact?"


    "Just what in the world did this guy experience in the Crimson Afterglow Valley? During the Quasi-Holy Son competition, his physical body was absolutely not so strong!"


    "Too scary! The magnitude of his physical body is probably already comparable to Heaven Enlightenment Realm, right? No wonder he dares to challenge Nalan Hong. Turns out that this is his true trump card!"


    This punch of Ye Yuan''s was too outrageous. It actually forcefully broke the longsword in Nalan Hong''s hand.


    Such a spectacle was too astounding!


    And this was the result after Ye Yuan was tormented by the primeval dragon bone for over 20 days!


    His physical body was even tougher than a high-grade profound artifact!


    The originally trash-like body actually caught up from behind, even surpassing the essence energy cultivation realm!


    From start to end, Ye Yuan did not even utilize a shred of essence energy. Just by relying on the explosive power of his fleshy body, his speed and strength were already on par with Heaven Enlightenment Realm experts.


    Adding in the strength of a true dragon, Ye Yuan leaping realms to challenge Nalan Hong was actually as a matter of course!


    "Are you ready? I''m coming!"


    Although this punch snapped the longsword, Nalan Hong was completely unscathed. But regarding triumphing over Nalan Hong, Ye Yuan was brimming with confidence.


    "Wait a minute! I concede!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to move when Nalan Hong actually admitted defeat directly. =

 816 Domineering Succession!

    Even though Ye Yuan''s physical body was daunting, to talk about defeating Nalan Hong, it would probably still needed to take some effort.


    But he did not expect that Nalan Hong actually directly admitted defeat.


    "The sword breaking is akin to the person breaking! There''s no need to compete anymore!" Nalan Hong said depressingly.


    The sensational great battle that everyone had high hopes of actually lowered the curtains in this one round, making everyone''s jaws hit the ground.


    Ye Yuan snapped a profound artifact with one punch. Everyone no longer doubted his strength!


    Ye Yuan inheriting this position of the young lord was reputation following merit!


    A Boundless Realm martial artist could cross a major cultivation realm to defeat the head of the Seven Holy Sons. What else could be called into question?


    "Young Lord is mighty!"


    "Young Lord is mighty!"


    "Long live Young Lord Ye Yuan!


    In the crowd, ardent shouting gradually erupted. In the end, it actually integrated as one!


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan used his strength to conquer all the people present.


    If there were still people harboring suspicions about Ye Yuan succeeding the position of young lord previously, everyone was giving unswerving support towards this decision of Holy Lord''s at this time.


    In the end, this was a world where the strong reigned supreme!


    Ye Yuan''s potential was put there. Given time, Ye Yuan would become an existence more powerful than the Holy Lord.


    Only this kind of powerhouse could lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to head towards being powerful.


    The Holy Land''s decline, as well as Tu You''s endless seclusions, already gradually made everyone lose faith in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Quite a number of people had started panicking.


    This sort of feeling was not only present among the ten great elders, but it was also already like a plague, propagating in everyone''s hearts.


    They were terrified inwardly, being scared that maybe someday, they would become destitute and homeless.


    Once this kind of fear erupts, it would cause the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to fall apart into pieces.


    But through this battle, Ye Yuan injected everyone with a cardiac tonic!


    They all took Ye Yuan''s talent into their sights. As long as he grew up, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would radiate in splendor in the White Valiant Region anew!


    Without any doubt, Ye Yuan already won everyone''s support!


    At this time, the ten great elders who originally harbored suspicions in their hearts lowered their banners and muffled the drums too, tacitly acknowledging the fact of Ye Yuan succeeding as young lord.


    Even Wu Siyuan shut his mouth up sensibly too.


    But the feelings of excitement on Chen Qin''s face could not be concealed at all.


    He never would have thought that Ye Yuan''s strength would actually be daunting to such an extent.


    Looks like the Holy Lord''s eyes were indeed keen!


    Ye Yuan did a hand gesture to make everyone quiet down. Very quickly, the entire plaza became silent.


    "I know that everybody is harboring suspicions in their hearts about the Holy Lord''s seclusion. But everyone, please think about it, if something really happened to the holy lord, who sent us into the Crimson Afterglow Valley? Why did he dare to increase the slots to enter the Crimson Afterglow Valley as well? Holy Lord''s condition is much better than you all can imagine! Everybody''s not thinking it over. How can the Second Level Dao Profound Realm be that easy to break through? Through so many years of seclusion, the Holy Lord, he has already had some gains. That''s why he chose to enter closed-seclusion without hesitation! After all, to the Holy Land, his strength is the benchmark to determine the Holy Land''s position! Right or not, everyone?" Ye Yuan spoke with confidence and composure.


    "Yeah, why am I so stupid? Didn''t even think of this!"


    "Holy Lord secluding for many years, isn''t it still in order to take the Holy Land into consideration? We actually doubted him. We really shouldn''t have!"


    "Young Lord, we support you!"


    The human heart was a very abstruse thing. Sometimes, it was very easy to be bewitched.


    What they needed was only a psychological assurance.


    Under Ye Yuan''s deliberate guidance, he first conquered the minds of a portion of the people, and the discussions between them infected others very quickly too.


    Of course, this sort of guidance was established on the basis of Ye Yuan''s powerful strength.


    He used his strength to make his words become convincing, that was why people chose to believe him.


    To be able to select such a daunting young lord, how could the Holy Lord''s condition possibly be poor?


    "The Holy Lord is in closed-seclusion to assault the Second Level Dao Profound and neglected the management of the Holy Land''s matters. That''s how it made everybody give rise to some thoughts that shouldn''t be there! Therefore, that''s why he selected a young lord to reassure the hearts of people and preside over the overall situation! This Ye is incompetent and received Holy Lord''s care unduly to take on this huge responsibility. I hope that everybody can offer your kind support!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were logical and well-grounded, sounding perfectly reasonable and fair, which dispelled the suspicions in everyone''s hearts even more.


    Cries of bravo sounded up beneath the stage. Each and everyone all expressed support towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan continued, "Since everyone chooses to believe this Ye, then this Ye won''t decline to shoulder the responsibility, taking on this position of young lord! But this Ye will say the nasty stuff first. If there''s still anyone who dares to intentionally spread lies and vilify the Holy Lord, I, Ye Yuan, will be the first one to not forgive him! This Ye''s methods, I believe everyone has not witnessed before yet. If anybody wishes to have a look at this Ye''s methods, feel free to come and give it a try!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s gaze carelessly swept towards Wu Siyuan, the warning overtones unreserved.


    Right then, a series of screams suddenly sounded out in the crowd.


    A black-colored flood dragon soared into the air and circled around in the sky! It was precisely Blackwind!


    At this time, Blackwind displayed his original body, and his body was actually a thousand feet long! It could be said to blot out the sky and cover the sun!


    A powerful dragon pressure smothered the entire plaza, making people''s hearts palpitate.


    "Roar!"


    Apart from Chen Qin, those Phaseless Realm elders were all akin to facing a great enemy, and even thought that there were demonic beasts invading the holy land.


    A flood dragon at the great circle of Phaseless Realm could virtually be said to be invincible in the same realm.


    These Phaseless Realm elders below added up probably was not his match either.


    "Everyone, there''s no need to panic. This black flood dragon is my servant. In the future, he will be the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s guardian divine beast!" Ye Yuan said with a clear voice.


    Hearing this, the panic on everybody''s faces instantly became dumbfoundedness!


    Was there a mistake?


    A Boundless Realm martial artist actually took in a Tier 8 demonic beast as a servant?


    Especially Wu Siyuan, the expression on his face was ugly to the extreme. At the same time, he was also secretly somewhat rejoicing a little in his heart.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan won today. If Ye Yuan lost, the first one to die would probably be him, Wu Siyuan.


    With a divine beast descendant at the great circle of Tier 8 as a servant, Ye Yuan could totally do whatever he wanted in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land!


    Even Chen Qin, First Elder, was not this black flood dragon''s match either!


    Blackwind''s appearance dispelled the last traces of everyone''s doubts.


    With such a powerful supporter, who else dared to call into question his authority, this Young Lord?


    "Blackwind, there is a deep pool in front of the holy hall. In the future, you''ll inhabit that place!" Ye Yuan instructed Blackwind.


    "Yes, Master!" Blackwind spoke human language.


    Finished talking, Blackwind turned into a black line, plunging into the deep pool in front of the holy hall directly.


    At this time, the gazes that everyone looked at Ye Yuan with underwent a transformation once more.


    Even though the position of the young lord was powerful, Ye Yuan''s strength was too low when all was said and done. The way many people saw it, the one presiding over matters was still First Elder.


    But with Blackwind, Ye Yuan himself had the strength to govern the entire Holy Land!


    Right then, First Elder Chen Qin and the other two holy hall elders suddenly got up and knelt down towards Ye Yuan and said, "Young Lord Ye, please lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to flourish anew!"


    Even First Elder submitted. What else could the rest still say?


    Right away, everyone, including the ten great elders all knelt down. A swarm of momentous and tidal-like voices sounded out in the plaza: "Young Lord Ye, please lead the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land to flourish anew!"

 817 Striking Where It Hurts

    At the Profound Wind Holy Land, in the White Valiant Region.


    An elderly man and a youth stood in the air, right overhead the Holy Land.


    The youth carried a long wooden staff on his back, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression lofty.


    "Young Master Tong, this place is the White Valiant Region''s boundary-line," the elder said.


    "En, this White Valiant Region is average in strength; virtually all of them here are Rank Nine Holy Lands. There''s no challenge for me at all!" the youth said in annoyance.


    "In this one year, Young Master Tong''s strength made remarkable progress. Heaven and Earth Staff Art had been mastered 50% of in terms of level and skill. Given time, Young Master Tong will definitely be able to reach Master''s standard," the elder said.


    "Master said that the path of staff techniques doesn''t have shortcuts. There is only non-stop battle after battle. But in this one year, I really didn''t encounter many adversaries! Grandpa Sun, why not forget about this White Valiant Region. Let''s go to Rank Eight Holy Lands?"


    "As per Master''s instructions, Young Master Tong still has half a year''s time before you can challenge Rank Eight Holy Lands'' geniuses. This old man dare not make the decision arbitrarily," the old man said fearfully.


    The youth pursed his mouth and said unhappily, "So troublesome! Recently, my staff technique is advancing slower and slower. I can''t find opponents in Rank Nine Holy Lands at all. What need is there still to carry on accumulating? Forget it, forget it. I also know that it''s hard on Grandpa Sun. I''ll just follow Master''s plan!"


    When the youth saw the elderly man''s difficult look, he ultimately still did not continue being willful.


    The old man smiled warmly. Only now did he set his mind at ease.


    After half a day, there were wailing cries at the Profound Wind Holy Land.


    "What kind of lousy Holy Land! The Young Lord''s strength is actually so weak! This kind of place can also be called a Holy Land? Sigh, Master''s rule is really troublesome. How many more of this kind of rookies do I have to fight with still?!" the youth put away the staff and said disdainfully.


    The old man said with a smile, "Huhu, how many people can have Young Master Tong''s level of talent? Even Master praised Young Master Tong too, saying that when he was around your age, his accomplishments weren''t even as high as yours."


    The youth waved his hand and said, "Downright boring. Let''s go, Grandpa Sun, we still have to hurry onto the next Holy Land!"


    Under the watchful eyes of the people, the one old man and one youth slowly left.


    ...


    In the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s holy hall, Ye Yuan sat at the head-seat, while the Wu Family''s elder, Wu Siyuan, sat at a lower position.


    "Young Lord Ye, previously, it was all Jiantong who didn''t know any better. A great man rarely stoops to pettiness. Don''t be angry with him anymore. I''ve already grounded him for a year, making him stay at home to cultivate in seclusion honestly. He isn''t permitted to go out and stir up trouble anymore!" Wu Siyuan said with an obsequious smile.


    The expression on Wu Siyuan''s face even carried fawning, behaving completely different from before.


    Ye Yuan maintained composure and said, "Elder Wu finding this Young Lord, I wonder what matter is it for?"


    Wu Siyuan continued smiling flatteringly as he said, "Young Lord Ye is indeed a young genius, to actually be a rarely-seen alchemy-martial dual genius! Not only is Young Lord''s martial arts superb, I didn''t expect that you also have heaven-defying means in alchemy! Wu Siyuan feels that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is absolutely able to soar to the skies with one bound under young lord''s leadership! My Wu Family also firmly endorses Young Lord Ye!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled inwardly. This fellow going round and round, wasn''t it still hoping for him to help refine medicinal pills for him?


    Wu Jiantong had also reached the crucial period to break through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. A transcendent-grade Spirit Enlightening Pill was of utmost importance to him.


    Ever since Ye Yuan inherited the position of the young lord, the Nalan Family and the Pei Family, these two great families, were the first to express support, making many shows of representations towards Ye Yuan openly and covertly.


    But the Wu Family and several families on familiar terms did not have any movements for a long time.


    Eight great families uniting together was generally not a force that could be ignored. They were waiting, waiting for Ye Yuan to take the initiative to go find them.


    Furthermore, this period of time, these few families'' disciples in the holy hall were not very obedient either. The teams were very hard to lead.


    Ye Yuan had Blackwind and First Elder, this kind of experts as supporters. It naturally would not do for the Wu Family, these few major families, to be forceful. Therefore, they changed to gentle.


    Actually, Ye Yuan could understand their mentality too. Not that they were disloyal to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. They only wish to strive for greater benefits.


    Them doing so was in order to let Ye Yuan know their importance and attach importance to them from there.


    But what kind of person was Ye Yuan? How could he possibly submit obediently?


    These few days, Ye Yuan refined quite a number of medicinal pills for the Nalan Family and the Pei Family who threw their lots with him. Furthermore, the moment he made his move, it was all transcendent-grade medicinal pills!


    Before Alchemy Ancestor and Alchemy Saint, there was similarly the crossing from Middle Three Realms to Upper Three Realms. After breaking through, soul force had a qualitative leap.


    Ye Yuan was currently a middle-rank Alchemy Ancestor, but his soul force was already comparable to an Alchemy Ancestor at the great circle of perfection.


    It was just that such soul force still could not let him cross this enormous step to leap realms and refine Tier 7 medicinal pills.


    But Ye Yuan felt that continuing to develop like this, when his divine soul broke through to high-rank Alchemy Ancestor, he absolutely would be able to refine Tier 7 medicinal pills!


    At the thought of this, Ye Yuan was faintly quite excited too.


    This sort of heaven-defying soul force was absolutely only one of a kind in the Divine Realm!


    These few days, Ye Yuan helped these two major families'' Boundless Realm geniuses refine quite a few extremely hard to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills. With this, Wu Siyuan could not sit still anymore as well.


    With Wu Jiantong''s talent, he would definitely be able to reach the Seven Holy Sons'' height in the future.


    Therefore, the more solid his foundation, the further he could walk in the future as well.


    Very clearly, the Wu Family wished to heavily groom Wu Jiantong.


    As luck would have it, Wu Jiantong offended Ye Yuan badly. Wu Siyuan was also adopting a wait-and-see attitude now and similarly offended Ye Yuan considerably.


    Under such circumstances, how could Ye Yuan possibly take action to help them refine medicinal pills?


    "Elder Wu, I think that you might have some misunderstanding? I, this Young Lord, was appointed by the Holy Lord. You don''t pledge loyalty to me, but you swear fealty to the Holy Lord! I, Ye Yuan, don''t seem to need you to make your stance clear," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "H-Haha, Young Lord Ye must be jesting. The young lords have always inherited the position of the Holy Lord all along. Swearing fealty to Young Lord and swearing fealty to the Holy Lord, there isn''t any difference." Wu Siyuan thickened his skin and said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Saying it like this isn''t wrong either. En, alright then, I''m aware of Elder Wu''s loyalty already. I still have a lot of things to do here and won''t see Elder Wu off."


    Wu Siyuan panicked and hurriedly said, "Don''t go yet, Young Lord Ye! This old man �� this old man apologizes to you!"


    "Oh? Why does Elder Wu need to apologize to this young lord?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    "This old man shouldn''t have lost my mind and attempted to knead young lord! This old man shouldn''t have incited the various elders and attempted to change the laws. This old man �� old man �� sigh! I beg Young Lord Ye to raise your hand high in mercy and help Jiantong refine a transcendent-grade medicinal pill!" With this, Elder Wu yielded utterly.


    A Transcendent-grade Spirit Enlightening Pill was too important. It was able to lay down an extremely solid foundation for the cultivation of the Upper Three Realms, letting the Upper Three Realms'' cultivation be even smoother!


    This sort of medicinal pill was hard to get even with a mountain of gold.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Alchemy Path was not highly developed. Nobody could refine this kind of medicinal pill at all. Even the two major trading firms'' high-level alchemists completely could not refine it either.


    If Wu Siyuan did not throw out this old face, Wu Jiantong would be pulled far apart from the Ten Great Families'' same generation martial artists!


    At that time, forget about any Seven Holy Sons, even the Wu Family''s position within the Ten Great Families might not be able to be preserved too.


    Striking where it hurts, this move of Ye Yuan''s was seriously too ruthless!The old man''s master is master and servant, not master and disciple

 818 Purchasing Spirit Medicines

    Ye Yuan ultimately still accepted Wu Siyuan''s apology and helped Wu Jiantong refine a transcendent-grade Spirit Enlightening Pill!


    Even the Wu Family could not hold on anymore, how could the other seven families still hang in there?


    Hence, each and every one of them fell over each other to express loyalty to Ye Yuan.


    Tidying up the Ten Great Families, the Elders Council was considered utterly under Ye Yuan''s control.


    With Ye Yuan''s alchemy means, there were plenty of times when the Ten Great Families had to beg him. In the future, if they wanted to have any funny ideas, they naturally had to weigh it over.


    Taking care of the Elders Council, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s danger was finally considered to have been preliminarily cleared.


    First Elder Chen Qin broke into a cold sweat in fear too, throwing himself down at Ye Yuan''s feet in admiration.


    If not for Ye Yuan, the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was probably going to fall into a huge crisis.


    Once the internal affairs were chaotic, the other Holy Lands in the White Valiant Region would likely see through flaws. At that time, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would be in danger.


    On this day, Ye Yuan came to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company alone.


    In a secret chamber, the moment Cai Yue saw Ye Yuan, her entire person pushed against Ye Yuan''s bosom.


    "Young Lord Ye, you''re making your way up in the world now and forgot this lowly one! This lowly one missed you to death these days!"


    That seductively bewitching power truly reached the bones, making people lose their minds in ecstasy.


    Listening to these words, you clearly knew that she seducing you, but you just could not control yourself.


    Ye Yuan touched Cai Yue''s inviting shoulders, but he pushed her down onto a seat, while he himself sat down on another seat.


    "Elder Sister Cai Yue, don''t use this move on me anymore. It''s useless. This time, coming to find Elder Sister Cai Yue, is wanting to request Elder Sister Cai Yue for a favor," Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Cai Yue looked at Ye Yuan with a look of hidden bitterness and said, "Elder Sister is whole-heartedly sincere, but you treat it as ill-intent! Forget it, forget it. Whatever instructions Young Lord Ye has, just go ahead and say it. Even if not looking on account of the gold token, looking on account of Young Lord Ye''s handsome face, Elder Sister won''t dare to not do either!"


    Ye Yuan becoming the Young Lord, one billion earth essence crystals was naturally no object. He had long ordered people to come over to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company to settle it already.


    But ever since after the auction last time, this was Ye Yuan''s first time coming to the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company.


    Towards Cai Yue''s sort of ultimate seduction, Ye Yuan enjoyed it very much, but he would not fall for it.


    After all things were said and done, didn''t Cai Yue just wanted to feel Ye Yuan out?


    To say that Cai Yue really had any thoughts towards him, Ye Yuan would not believe even if he was beaten to death either.


    Cai Yue was naturally very depressed in her heart. Regarding her techniques of seduction, anyone would swallow the bait. But this brat in front of her just did not look her straight in the eye.


    "I want several kinds of Tier 9 spirit medicines, this is the list. Additionally, I also want to invite a person to take action and help me refine a kind of Tier 9 medicinal pill," Ye Yuan said.


    Cai Yue was startled inwardly. She did not expect that Ye Yuan would ask for a Tier 9 medicinal pill right right at the start.


    But Cai Yue was still somewhat doubtful. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company had Alchemy Emperor experts, just invite them to take action. Why invite another person alternatively to take action?


    "Elder Sister doesn''t need to guess. This medicinal pill, ordinary people can''t refine it. It has to be that person taking action," Ye Yuan clearly saw through what Cai Yue thought in her heart and said with a smile.


    Cai Yue smiled sweetly and said, "Young Lord Ye has such a keen mind, to even know what Elder Sister is thinking about! Cai Yue is sincere towards Young Lord from the bottom of my heart. Is it possible that Young Lord Ye dislikes that Cai Yue is no longer chaste?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "How could it be? Elder Sister is so alluring, which man wouldn''t be moved?"


    "Then why does Young Lord Ye not even look Elder Sister in the eye?"


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak, not following up.


    Cai Yue took a shot at Ye Yuan, took over the list from Ye Yuan''s hands with a smile on her face, and said smilingly, "You, this young man, are really born with a heart that can see through all illusions! Even some old fellows probably don''t have your keen mind too! Alright then, Elder Sister will take a look what just what Tier 9 medicinal pill you want to refine. I''m telling you, Tier 9 spirit medicines are all very expensive ��"


    As Cai Yue was talking, she examined the inventory list at the same time. Talking halfway, the seductively charming look on her face faded entirely, and what replaced it was an astonished expression.


    "Immortal Plume Peach, Ground Spirit Turtle Shell �� This �� these spirit medicines you want, are you sure that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land can afford it?" Cai Yue turned pale with fright and said.


    The spirit medicines Ye Yuan wanted, each kind were all heaven and earth rare treasures. The price was ridiculously expensive. Furthermore, some even had the demand, but no supply!


    Ye Yuan buying these spirit medicines was sufficient to bankrupt the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land!


    Hence, that was why Cai Yue would be so shocked when she saw this list.


    Dao Profound Realm powerhouses were extremely wealthy, especially Dao Profound powerhouses who founded holy lands. They would be a hundred times wealthier compared to ordinary Dao Profound Realms!


    But even so, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could not shoulder the price of these spirit medicines either.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Sister, calm down. I didn''t say that this money will be at the expense of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land."


    Cai Yue was stunned. "Is Young Lord Ye joking with Elder Sister? If not the Holy Land paying, could it be you paying? Don''t forget, you couldn''t even take out a billion earth essence crystals."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Does Elder Sister know why your Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company would give me a gold token?"


    Cai Yue was stunned again, shook her head, and said, "This is the trading company''s secret. My level is insufficient, so ��"


    Cai Yue clearly inquired about this intel before, but with her rank, she did not have the qualifications to know at all.


    To a Rank One Holy Land, her status, this Phaseless Realm, was too low.


    The higher-ups only said to make her satisfy all of Ye Yuan''s requests to the best of her ability. The rest, Cai Yue was completely clueless.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he passed a jade slip over to Cai Yue, saying, "Since Elder Sister doesn''t know, then it''s not convenient for me to say much. Elder Sister, hand this jade slip and the list along with it to the trading company, the people above will naturally agree."


    Cai Yue received the jade slip dubiously and was instinctively going to use divine sense to check it out, but Ye Yuan warned, "I placed a restriction in the jade slip. Elder Sister better not investigate it. Otherwise, if it were known by upstairs, even if there isn''t any danger to your life, you''d probably receive severe punishment too! These two items, Elder Sister must send over through a top-level channel."


    Cai Yue was startled inwardly and hurriedly withdrew her divine sense.


    Ye Yuan had always been very courteous when talking with her. Furthermore, he was bright and cheerful, an appearance of harmless to man and beast.


    But Cai Yue knew, a youth able to make headquarters issue a gold token, absolutely would not be that simple.


    If other youngsters warned Cai Yue like this, she would definitely brush it over with a laugh.


    But Ye Yuan saying so, she had no choice but to be cautious!


    Cai Yue was deeply aware that this youth was a legend. Since he uttered these words, it was absolutely not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    Furthermore, objects able to trade in for so many rare spirit medicines were naturally very precious!


    But the more she thought so, the more Cai Yue wanted to know the contents inside this jade slip. She found it very hard to imagine that a tiny little jade slip could make the headquarters issue a gold token!


    "Young Lord Ye, don''t say it so terrifyingly! You scared Elder Sister''s little heart badly. Fine, don''t look then, what''s the big deal?" Cai Yue grumbled begrudgingly.


    An expression which enthralled people to death without doing anything could be seen on Cai Yue''s face, but it was also a complicated expression filled with curiosity.

 819 Soul Martial Divine King

    "Elder Sister is so nice to me. I obviously can''t make it hard on Elder Sister, isn''t that so?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Cai Yue rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and spat, "Heartless little fellow! Driving Elder Sister to her death at the drop of a hat and still say that it''s for Elder Sister''s good!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn''t I come to find Elder Sister for help because I couldn''t do anything about it?"


    "Humph! Say then, just which alchemist you want to help you to refine pills. Elder Sister isn''t very knowledgeable about medicinal pills and can''t tell what kind of medicinal pill you want to refine with these spirit medicines of yours," Cai Yue said.


    Tier 9 medicinal pills were extremely complex. On the list Ye Yuan made, just the core ingredients were as many as nine types, let alone the supplementary materials!


    Furthermore, Tier 9 pill formulas were mostly all cherished dearly. There were extremely few mutual collaborations between alchemists to make up what the other lacked.


    Therefore, it was very hard for situations where everyone knew the pill formulas like those low-level medicinal pills to happen.


    Of course, being an alchemist had a benefit, that was that those finding him to refine pills must provide their own pill formula. As time passed, high-level alchemists would accumulate many pill formulas.


    Therefore, to Alchemy Emperors, alchemists with higher success rates and better quality would obtain more Tier 9 pill formulas too.


    Because everyone all liked to go find him to refine medicinal pills.


    As for Ye Yuan, the Tier 9 pill formulas he knew was naturally a whole bunch.


    Apart from those martial artists who came to find him to refine medicinal pills, he even self-created many unique pill formulas that the outside world did not know at all.


    Therefore, one or two formulas for Tier 5 medicinal pills, Ye Yuan did not mind at all.


    What he gave the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company were two types of the Tier 5 pill formulas which he had improved.


    Using Tier 5 pill formulas to exchange for Tier 9 spirit medicines sounded like a fantasy tale. But Ye Yuan''s pill formulas could bring incalculable profits for the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company.


    This point, could not be exchanged for no matter how many Tier 9 spirit medicines.


    Therefore, the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company''s headquarters would definitely agree to this exchange.


    "Zhong Zizhen!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    "Puuuu ��" Cai Yue was currently drinking a mouthful of tea. Upon hearing this name, she spat it all out.


    "Soul Martial Divine King, Zhong Zizhen!" Cai Yue cried out in shock.


    "That''s right, it''s him!" Ye Yuan nodded and said.


    "No, on what basis would the Soul Martial Divine King refine medicinal pills for you? Forget about you, even if Lord Head Chairman went to find him, he would not give this face either!" Cai Yue broke down and said.


    Soul Martial Divine King, Zhong Zizhen, the only soul martial artist among the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    One could say that he, this person, was the pinnacle of soul martial artists!


    Soul martial artists were originally extremely mysterious existences, and Zhong Zizhen cultivated to the realm of the pinnacle of soul martial artists.


    What made people even more envious was that Zhong Zizhen was even a peak Alchemy Emperor, and his alchemy''s might was unfathomable.


    To make a figure like this refine pills, was Ye Yuan kidding?


    Did he, the Soul Martial Divine King, lack your bit of remuneration?


    You''re making him refine pills as and when you like, who do you think you are?!


    Ye Yuan said, "You help me bring a sentence to him. He''ll naturally agree to help me refine the medicinal pill."


    Cai Yue did not speak, looking at Ye Yuan like she had seen a ghost. Suddenly, she touched Ye Yuan''s head like she was crazy, then touched her own head.


    "Not having a fever, sp why do you keep talking nonsense? Do you think that the Ten Great Divine Kings are your family''s little doggy, you make him come and he comes, make him go and he goes?"


    To martial artists, the Ten Great Divine Kings were invincible existences. No one dared to provoke at all.


    This bunch of characters who stood at the apex of the Divine Realm, who dared to become conceited and gesture at them on what to do?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Sister just have to pass the message."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s calm look, Cai Yue could not help guessing. Could it be that Ye Yuan could really strike up a relationship with the Soul Martial Divine King?


    But how was this possible?


    "Alright then, say it. But I dare not guarantee that the chamber of commerce will agree to your request!" Cai Yue said.


    Provoking the Ten Great Divine Kings was something that each faction was unwilling to do. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company was naturally no exception either.


    Not only was each and every one of the Ten Great Divine Kings'' strength perversely formidable, their temperaments each had their quirks too; very hard to grasp.


    Any unhappiness and that was an apocalyptic calamity.


    "Relax, the chamber of commerce will agree." Ye Yuan said.


    The chamber of commerce was just passing on information. There was no loss to the chamber of commerce. These two kinds of Tier 5 pill formulas, Ye Yuan only gave half. The remainder half, they would naturally be given only after the matter was completed.


    Ye Yuan believed that the chamber of commerce would not be able to withstand the temptation of these two kinds of Tier 5 medicinal pills at all.


    Cai Yue looked Ye Yuan with glinting eyes and discovered that she could see through this youth less and less.


    "What kind of message to pass on?" Cai Yue said curiously.


    "Returning to hang it on the tree before the grave, knowing one''s heart eternally. Tell him these words, he''ll naturally refine the pill!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Returning to hang it on the tree before the grave, knowing one''s heart eternally?" Cai Yue ruminated for a long time and did not understand what these words meant either.


    ...


    The matter was agreed upon, so Ye Yuan naturally did not stay as well, planning to get up and leave.


    "Young Lord Ye, you have to come and take a look at Elder Sister in the future often! Don''t let Elder Sister long for you!" Cai Yue said bashfully.


    But the current Cai Yue was clearly not that relaxed like at first. People with discerning eyes could tell with one look that Cai Yue actually felt even more pressure when facing Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Elder Sister rest assured. Ye Yuan will naturally drop by when I''m free. However, this Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique of Elder Sister, indulging in carnal desires is just quenching thirst with poison. Elder Sister has to take it easy!"


    A smile was still hanging on Cai Yue''s face earlier, but at this time, her expression changed drastically and she said stammeringly, "H-How did you know that I''m of the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Sister''s deeds, I''ve still heard before a little. If not for the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, how can you possible jinx your husbands to death one after another? Unless you require the strong yang qi in their bodies."


    Cai Yue was thoroughly defeated and said with a bitter smile, "Do you think that Elder Sister wants it? But the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique is a renown terminal physique, what other ways do I have?"


    "Heh, there are no absolutes in the world! Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique might not be a terminal ailment either!" Ye Yuan said.


    Those possessing this Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique were all females, and their date of birth and eight characters of horoscope were all yin. They lacked yang qi in their bodies congenitally.


    This was also a type of spirit physique, but an extremely dangerous kind of spirit physique.


    People in possession of this sort of spirit physique were completely unaware of their own spirit physique in their early years.


    But after the first time they engaged in coitus, the spirit physique would abruptly erupt, requiring to absorb the yang qi of a man continuously to live.


    Before long, the man''s yang qi would be absorbed entirely, and they would naturally die.


    Hence, that was why Cai Yue would jinx several husbands to death.


    At first, she felt that it was odd too. But later, only after asking the chamber of commerce''s high-level alchemists, did she know that it was because she was of the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique.


    But this action of absorbing men''s yang qi was like quenching thirst with poison.


    The yin qi within Cai Yue''s body would get increasingly heavier and eventually die.


    Cai Yue being so bewitching was actually something that could not be helped either.


    But hearing Ye Yuan''s words, it was like Cai Yue grasped a final piece of life-saving straw!


    "Young Lord Ye, y-you have a solution?" Cai Yue said agitatedly.


    One''s personal affairs, one would be aware. Cai Yue knew that she had one foot in the grave already.


    But now, Ye Yuan gave her hope.For some unknown reason, the author decided to use chamber of commerce instead of trading company, so I''ll just follow accordingly.It''s a phrase from �����ҽ� (Ji Zha Hanging a Sword), which depicts mourning towards deceased friends, where Ji Zha hung his sword on the tree in front of his friend''s grave.

    "Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, it is after all caused by the yin qi within the body being overly excessive. Wanting to reach yin-yang harmony, one naturally needs yang qi. A small amount of yang qi is simply unable to relieve the yin qi in your body and will instead induce the propagation of even more yin qi. With so many years, your spirit physique has already reached the limits. Elder Sister is right at a youthful age, wouldn''t passing like this be pitiable?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Not that Ye Yuan was mocking Cai Yue. Her age was naturally much older than Ye Yuan''s, but among martial artists, she had merely just reached middle-age too.


    In fact, it really was not considered very old.

    "What are you laughing at?!" Wei Cheng said with a grim expression.


    "Laughing at what? I''m laughing at your ignorance! That Luo Tong came to our White Valiant Region in order to train. Could it be that you think he won''t come to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land? He''s already Young Lord''s vanquished foe long ago, but you guys want Young Lord to go fight with him? Isn''t that very laughable?" Wu Siyuan said with a hearty laugh.


    "What did you say?! This Boundless Realm Young Lord of yours can beat that Luo Tong? Wu Siyuan, do you take me, Wei Cheng, to be a fool?" Wei Cheng said with a cold smile.


    He was all too familiar with that Luo Tong''s strength. Even though his cultivation realm was a little higher than Luo Tong''s, in front of Luo Tong, he had no strength to retaliate in the slightest.


    Only after seeing Luo Tong did Wei Cheng know what was called a true genius!


    But now, Wu Siyuan said that Ye Yuan defeated Luo Tong. This was simply the biggest joke in the world!


    Luo Tong was a full major realm higher than Ye Yuan. Furthermore, his concepts comprehension was exceptionally high. For Ye Yuan to want to beat him, the possibility did not exist at all!


    "Heh, whether you believe it or not is up to you. Our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land personally witnessed this incident from top to bottom. Could it still be faked?" Wu Siyuan said disdainfully.


    Wei Cheng clearly did not believe it, but Wu Siyuan readily called out Luo Tong''s name. Clearly, Luo Tong had already been to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    But Ye Yuan was completely unscathed currently, unwittingly making Wei Cheng become somewhat uncertain.


    Logically speaking, Luo Tong went to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land after the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land. If Ye Yuan really exchanged blows with Luo Tong, it was impossible to not leave behind injuries on his body.


    "Is that so? Whether it''s a mule or a horse, drag it out for a walk, and you''ll know!"


    Wei Cheng''s heart stirred and looked towards Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression.


    Both parties were three versus three right now. With the two other elders'' tying down the other two, it was as easy as turning one''s hand for him to feel out Ye Yuan''s depths!


    While talking, Wei Cheng already scuttled towards Ye Yuan with extreme speed.


    "Careful, Young Lord!"


    Although Wang Zan was rather disapproving of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Young Lord after all. How could he be bullied by outsiders?


    But his figure had yet to move when it was held back by Wu Siyuan.


    "Wu Siyuan, what are you doing!" Wang Zan glared at Wu Siyuan and said.


    Very clearly, he was extremely discontented with Wu Siyuan''s way of doing things. The Young Lord was encountering danger, how could they look on with folded arms?


    "Just watch, this Young Lord of ours isn''t an average man! For Wei Cheng to want to bully him, it''s still early!" Wu Siyuan said with a smile.


    "Roar!"


    Wei Cheng''s figure was still 80 feet away from Ye Yuan when a black flood dragon suddenly appeared between him and Ye Yuan.


    A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart. Wei Cheng forcefully stopped his figure.


    Seeing Blackwind, the faces of Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s three people changed drastically!


    "To dare offend Master, deserve to die!" Blackwind said coldly.


    "Forget it, Blackwind. No need to haggle over it with him," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    The pressure of the great circle Tier 8 releasing out, Wei Cheng had a feeling of being at death''s door!


    But what made him even more shocked was that this black flood dragon actually called Ye Yuan as Master!


    A Boundless Realm actually brought along a great circle Tier 8 demonic beast servant. This �� This was also a bit too extravagant, right?


    "Yes, Master!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Blackwind retreated to one side obediently.


    Wei Cheng''s eyes went wide. This was a great circle of Tier 8 servant!


    Forget about him, even if it was the Holy Lord, it was very hard to have such treatment either.


    A great circle Tier 8 demonic beast was not so easy to run into. Furthermore, a great circle Tier 8 demonic beast, every single one had extremely high intelligence.


    It was easy for the Holy Lord to want to kill, but wanting to make the other party pledge allegiance was incredibly difficult.


    Let alone that Blackwind was even a demonic beast who was about to transform into a dragon. He was considered half of the dragon race already. This kind of demonic beasts was extremely proud, making it even less likely to become a human''s servant.


    Yet, Ye Yuan obtained such a demonic beast!


    Wei Cheng naturally would not think that this was subdued by Ye Yuan himself. Apart from the Holy Lord Tu You, who else in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land had this kind of strength?


    These few years, it was widely rumored that Tu You''s situation was not good. Looking at it now, this was absolute rubbish!


    "Young Lord Wei Cheng, don''t feign composure here anymore. If the corpse tide isn''t controlled, forget about my Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, even the entire White Valiant Region might become a death zone! Therefore, what we need to do now is sincere cooperation and not stirring up trouble!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Wei Cheng''s expression was very ugly. Turns out that his thoughts were seen through by Ye Yuan long ago.


    Although the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s situation was not as severe as the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, the situation could no longer be ignored as well.


    "Humph! Looking at the current situation, the source of this corpse tide is absolutely your Crimson Afterglow Holy Land! Causing such a major incident, I want to see how you guys give an account to the other Holy Lands!" Wei Cheng said with a cold snort.


    Being caught by Ye Yuan, Wei Cheng was very unhappy. But he was wary of Blackwind too, so he could only bring out the other holy lands to suppress Ye Yuan.


    But when Ye Yuan heard that, he said, "Right now, the corpse tide clearly shows a trend of spreading. Furthermore, after ordinary martial artists are killed by the zombies, they will be controlled by the zombies too. At this rate, the scale of the corpse tide will become increasingly massive. At that time, it will be unsalvageable! If I were you, I''d take out sincerity to cooperate. Get off my back about whatever source issues. Want to really talk, talk again after stopping the corpse tide!"


    Right now was clearly not the time to be disputing over trifles, but for the various Holy Lands to cooperate properly and eradicate the corpse tide.


    Right at this time, seven to eight silhouettes appeared in the horizon and were currently approaching them.


    Wu Siyuan whispered by Ye Yuan''s ear: "It''s the Fire Feather Holy Land and the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land''s people. Those two young men are the Holy Lands'' Young Lords. One is called Hua Shujie, the other is called Sheng Jun."


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he got it.


    After a round of small talk, Hua Shujie and Sheng Jun both got to know that Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s newly ascended Young Lord as well. Naturally, they could not dispense with contempt in their hearts.


    But with Blackwind around, even if they looked down on him, they got to suppress it in their hearts too.


    "Since you''ve come, you should also understand the situation at the moment. This time, our four families should contribute a share to eliminate this corpse tide!" Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said.


    "Heh, why don''t Young Lord Ye say just how our four families should cooperate?" Wei Cheng said with a cold laugh.


    Although unwilling to admit it, what Ye Yuan was talking about was indeed a matter that brooked no delay.


    Each day it was delayed, the difficulty level of dealing with this corpse tide would become even greater!


    Ye Yuan had a well thought out plan long ago and opened his mouth and said, "This corpse tide is limitless and simply can''t be killed finish. Forcefully dealing with these zombies will only increase the casualties in vain. Want to eliminate the corpse tide this time, we still got to figure out the real reason for corpse tide''s eruption! Hence, I plan on fishing out just where these zombies came from after night falls today. I wonder what everyone''s opinions are?"


    Hua Shujie thought about it and said with a nod, "What Young Lord Ye said is right! In this Hua''s opinion, even if everyone has some conflicts, put it down first. It''s not too late for us to shut the doors and settle accounts after pushing back the corpse tide."


    "I have no objections either! With our strength, these zombies can''t come close at all. Today, we''ll go in the same direction the zombies come from and search properly. Best if we can find their den and wipe them out all together!"

 827 Killing People

    At night, dark clouds covered the moon, causing people unable to see one''s hands in front of them.


    "Roar!"


    All of a sudden, a low roar echoed out, shattering the night''s tranquility.


    Following this low roar, faint grinding sounds started sounding out on the earth''s surface, making Ye Yuan and the rest unwittingly feel their scalps tingle.


    A terrifying air crept out. Even if each and every one of these people were courageous because of superb skills, their hearts could not refrain from speeding up at this time too.


    "It''s here!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    His vision was extremely good and could already see the tidewater like zombie army surging over towards here.


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. The quantity of this zombie army before their eyes was seriously too outrageous.


    As far as the eye could see were all densely packed zombies, giving people an overwhelming sense of pressure.


    "This �� Isn''t this number a bit too terrifying? Even if every person spat a mouthful of spittle, it can drown us to death too!" Sheng Jun said.


    "They are not people but zombies! Still talking about spitting spittle, don''t you find it disgusting!" Hua Shujie said sarcastically.


    "You guys are still in the mood to jest around! Such numbers of zombies, even if we''re the ones who get trapped inside, we''ll get exhausted to death too!" Wei Cheng said grimly.


    A vast expanse of corpse tide stretching to infinity, the sensory organ impact it brought to people was seriously too shocking.


    Even if it were these Phaseless Realm elders, all of them had grave expressions too, akin to facing a formidable foe.


    The strength of these zombies were all not strong. The vast majority were under Tier 6. But when the numbers reached such a horrifying extent, it already went from a quantitative transformation to qualitative transformation.


    Phaseless Realm martial artists getting bogged down inside had very slim chances of survival too!


    "Looking at the direction they are headed, it should be Waterplain City. Looks like they really want to expand territory!" Wu Siyuan said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm as he said coolly, "Everyone rush over in the same direction where the zombies are coming from, don''t turn back! We only have a night''s time. Everybody, make the best use of time and don''t get enamored with fighting."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s feet suddenly unleashed a move and actually took the lead to sprint towards the corpse tide!


    Wang Zan''s expression changed drastically when he saw the situation and shouted at Ye Yuan''s back view, "Wait for us, Young Lord!"


    In Wang Zan''s view, Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was the black flood dragon. He definitely had some capabilities himself, but facing this ocean-like corpse tide, how could it be adequate?


    Wang Zan''s figure moved, and he chased after too. Wu Siyuan followed closely behind.


    Blackwind chased after Ye Yuan like a gust of wind as well.


    Wei Cheng sneered coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Reckless thing with no idea of death or danger, a measly little Boundless Realm actually dares to take the lead!"


    Sheng Jun smiled too and said, "This new Crimson Afterglow''s Young Lord seems rather reckless! Haha, hope that these zombies will show mercy and not hurt him."


    "Stop making irresponsible and carping remarks here. Let''s go together! If that Ye Yuan dies, we won''t gain any advantage either! No matter how lacking his strength is, isn''t there still a great circle of Tier 8 black flood dragon? With him around, we have no worries this trip," Hua Shujie said.


    Everyone nodded, their figures rushing speedily over towards the corpse tide too.


    But their figures had yet to walk out very far when they all froze abruptly; the looks on their faces were fascinating to the extreme.


    Far away, Ye Yuan was in the front ranks. It was only for them to see him brandishing the longsword in his hand. Countless sword lights were instantly released, attacking towards those zombies.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Ye Yuan''s sword lights were like cutting grass, instantly reaping a large stretch of zombies!


    For a moment, those residual limbs of those zombies flew everywhere in the sky. The spectacle was shocking to the max.


    Just one move and Ye Yuan immediately opened up an enormous gap in the corpse tide! He did not stay, rushing over straight towards the gap.


    The Starmoon Sword in Ye Yuan''s hand was like a major killing tool. The places he passed through, he swept away all obstacles.


    Wei Cheng and the rest following at the back were all dumbfounded.


    In the corpse tide, there were large swathes of Tier 5 zombies whose strength were comparable to Boundless Realm martial artists. Ye Yuan''s attack actually directly disregarded their cultivation realms!


    Wang Zan was a Phaseless Realm martial artist at any rate. He was already almost catching up to Ye Yuan before this.


    But at this time, the expression on his face was shocked to the extreme, and he actually forgot to attack for a moment.


    Suddenly, his back was patted by someone. Turning around to take a look, it was Wu Siyuan.


    "Is it very shocking? Told you long before, this Young Lord of ours is special! Wait until he truly grows up, it will be the hour of our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s splendor once more!" Wu Siyuan said.


    From opposing Ye Yuan to being filled with anticipation towards Ye Yuan now, Wu Siyuan''s transformation could be said to be huge.


    Ye Yuan already used his strength to thoroughly conquer the people''s hearts in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    "Huhu, don''t stand there in a daze anymore. Even though Young Lord is powerful, facing a corpse tide like this, it''s also beyond one person''s power. Let''s go help him!" Wu Siyuan said with a laugh.


    Wang Zan nodded fiercely and said with an excited look, "With such a young lord, our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land is bound to rise up!"


    Wu Siyuan and Wang Zan duo rushed over soon after. These two people were both Phaseless Realm. Their strengths were a great deal stronger than Ye Yuan''s. Dealing with some low-level zombies was naturally a cinch.


    What they were truly afraid of was being trapped deep in this corpse tide and being forcefully exhausted to death by these zombies.


    Killing so many zombies in one go, they obviously had to expend quite a bit of essence energy too. Over a long time, they could not bear it too.


    "Heh heh, indeed rather capable. We''ve underestimated him! To think that he''s only Boundless Realm. If he breaks through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, the few of us are probably not enough for him to look at at all!"


    After the shock, Hua Shujie came back to his senses too, his words filled with bitterness.


    Even with their realms, they also could not do it like lifting something heavy as if it were light like Ye Yuan in this corpse tide.


    "Humph! Just putting on a pretense! In my view, he''s intentionally showing off here! I don''t believe that this kind of move can be unleashed many times. Wait until his essence energy is exhausted, I want to see what he does!" Wei Cheng said scornfully.


    "No matter what, just this move, his supreme true intent has likely been comprehended to the third-stage already. This Crimson Afterglow Young Lord seems to really be quite formidable! But what you said is true as well. This kind of move, with his Boundless Realm cultivation, he shouldn''t be able to unleash it more than a few times. Let''s go, if we still don''t go, the gap that they opened up is going to be filled up by zombies," Sheng Jun said.


    The people of these three families rushed forward too and caught up to Ye Yuan very quickly.


    With them joining in, the speed that the team advanced sped up considerably all at once!


    "These zombies themselves aren''t much. But their physical bodies are extremely formidable. Everyone take note, don''t get your essence energy depleted by these zombies!"


    Watching Ye Yuan cutting them up like melons and cabbages earlier gave them a misconception that these zombies were just a little more in quantity and there wasn''t anything impressive.


    But the moment they clashed with these zombies now, Wei Cheng discovered that they looked down on these zombies too much.


    The strength of the zombies in itself was stronger compared to martial artists of the same realm. The most terrifying thing was that their fleshy bodies were extremely powerful. Want to thoroughly kill them, they must expend even more essence energy.


    One or two obviously could hardly show anything. But once the quantity ramped up, the essence energy expenditure would become very frightening.


    Right now, they were already utterly surrounded by these zombies. If they did not charge out as soon as possible, they would be forcefully exhausted to death by these low-level zombies.


    Forget that Wei Cheng was just a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist, even the Phaseless Realm elders they brought here were probably unable to escape by luck too.


    The number of these zombies were too terrifying!

 828 Mowing down All Resistance

    In a twinkle, four hours passed. Ye Yuan and the others already advanced forward several hundred miles distance.


    Not only did the zombies in front of them not reduce, but it also had an increasingly worsening trend instead!


    The more zombies killed, the more there were, making these Phaseless Realm elders somewhat start losing all hope.


    Wei Cheng, Hua Shujie they all, these people''s essence energy expenditure were immense. The speed of killing the zombies distinctly slowed down compared to before.


    His gaze involuntarily looked over towards Ye Yuan and was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    Could this punk be a freak? It''s been four hours, and his combat capability is actually still roughly the same as when it just started; it''s virtually without much reduction! That level of martial technique, how can a Boundless Realm martial artist possibly execute it consecutively for four hours? Wei Cheng thought to himself.


    He thought from the bottom of his heart that Ye Yuan would deplete his essence energy very quickly and seek Blackwind''s help from there.


    Who knew that four hours passed and not only was Ye Yuan''s martial technique like as though it did not expend essence energy, it was even releasing non-stop.


    Even the killing speed of the Phaseless Realm martial artists slowed down. Only Ye Yuan''s speed of reaping these zombies did not reduce the least bit.


    Ye Yuan was still at the forefront, forcefully opening up a gap in the corpse tide.


    "Young Lord, carrying on like this is not the way to go! The strengths of these zombies are becoming stronger and stronger. Right now, the majority of what we are killing are already Tier 5 zombies. There are even quite a number of Tier 6 zombies mixed up inside. I suspect that if it continues like this, ahead will probably all become Tier 6 zombies!"


    The more Wu Siyuan fought, the more alarmed he became, and he could not help becoming somewhat afraid of the grim situation before his eyes.


    Facing the tidewater like zombies that had no regard for danger, they, these Phaseless Realms, were also at a loss on what to do.


    These zombies did not know what was fear at all and did not have any consciousness either. They only attacked them blindly. What was even more damnable was that their physical bodies were extremely powerful. Wanting to kill them took quite a bit of effort.


    "How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger''s lair? The more powerful the zombies at the back, the more it means that we''re getting increasingly closer to the source of the zombies! There is already no path of retreat at this time. All of you just respond with care and follow me!" Ye Yuan said without hesitation.


    One sentence made Wu Siyuan flush red to his ears.


    He, an exalted Phaseless Realm, actually had to hide behind Ye Yuan.


    But this was also something that could not be helped. To talk about the speed of killing these zombies, his efficiency was really not as high as Ye Yuan''s.


    Under this kind of circumstances, they, these Phaseless Realms, did not dare to execute any large area-of-effect martial techniques. That was no different from seeking death.


    What they could do was to kill the zombies around them and charge forward all the way, conserving essence energy to the greatest limit.


    ...


    In a blink, another four hours passed. Everyone already killed God knows how many zombies.


    Even the Phaseless Realm martial artists killed until their hands were weak too.


    They all consumed quite a number of essence energy restoring medicinal pills but still could not stop the essence energy in their bodies from being depleted bit by bit.


    By their sides right now were all Tier 6 zombies. There were even some Tier 7 zombies inside occasionally!


    The pressure these elders experiencing soared greatly one by one, let alone Wei Cheng they all, who were only at the Heaven Enlightenment Realm.


    Tier 6 zombies, their fleshy bodies'' resilience advanced a great deal from before too. The essence energy expended in wanting to kill them would be much more.


    Wei Cheng''s entire body was already drenched in sweat. He was almost reaching his limits already.


    "Too careless this time! Really didn''t think that these zombies'' strength would be so powerful!" Wei Cheng gritted his teeth and said.


    Hua Shujie hacked a zombie with a sword and similarly gasped for air as he said, "Hang in there a while more! It''s going to be daytime very soon!"


    "I almost can''t keep going anymore. My medicinal pills are almost exhausted already. Even if I consume medicinal pills, the speed of restoring essence energy is also far from matching up to the speed of consumption!" Wei Cheng said.


    "Just what kind of cultivation method did Ye Yuan that fellow cultivate? This essence energy recovery speed is also too terrifying, right? I didn''t even see him consume medicinal pills, and he actually relied on essence energy recovery to persist until now! Simply makes people dare not believe it!" Sheng Jun said.


    Eight hours went by, Ye Yuan''s combat power was still off the charts!


    Even if it was all Tier 6 zombies around him, he still reaped like chopping up melons and cabbages. The speed was actually not much slower compared to before.


    This kind of strength made everyone incredibly shocked.


    "Everybody double up, we shouldn''t be far from the source of the zombies already," Ye Yuan suddenly said in a clear voice.


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan raised his hand, and it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    The places the palm force reached, the zombies turned to piles of dust, directly splitting open several thousand feet in distance.


    This palm even decimated the few Tier 7 zombies mixed up inside.


    Wei Cheng and the other two exchanged a glance, seeing astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    They finally knew how Ye Yuan became the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Young Lord.


    Those Tier 7 zombies'' bodies were incomparably tough. Even sabers and swords hacking over was very hard to cause them injuries. Furthermore, the recovery abilities of these Tier 7 zombies were extremely strong. If they could not kill them, the wounds on their bodies would recover back to normal very quickly, extremely hard to deal with.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, these Tier 7 zombies simply could not withstand even a single blow!


    Tier 7 zombie, those were existences equal to human martial artists'' Heaven Enlightenment Realm!


    "What are you still in a daze for? Keep up! Take this time, you guys recover some more essence energy. Further to the back, I might not be able to deal with those Tier 7 zombies anymore!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.


    Wei Cheng and the rest were startled inwardly and hurriedly kept up with Ye Yuan''s footsteps, directly pushing forward several thousand feet in distance.


    Not only were these zombies not intimidated by Ye Yuan''s palm force, each and every one seemed infuriated instead, surrounding over very quickly.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all, firing out another Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. Another large swathe was obliterated!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan was akin to a war god.


    Wei Cheng even produced a misconception that if they let Ye Yuan keep on killing like this, would he really be able to kill finish these zombies that blotted out the skies and covered the earth or not!


    But he quickly felt that this idea was too laughable. There were too many of these zombies; Ye Yuan definitely could not kill all of them!


    Ye Yuan did not spare physical power and essence energy, directly unleashing big moves. It also let this party of people advance a lot faster.


    Seizing this opportunity, everyone also consumed medicinal pills non-stop, recovering essence energy as soon as possible!


    But this process did not persist for long, because the zombies at the back got increasingly stronger. There were more and more Tier 7 zombies. Even though Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was powerful, it was still a little lacking to deal with late-stage Tier 7 zombies.


    Fortunately, through a period of time of rest and rehabilitation, the others'' essence energy also recovered considerably and were able to help Ye Yuan share the burden a lot more.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan felt his scalp tingle. A feeling of danger instantly enveloped his entire body!


    "Blackwind, be on alert! Tier 8 Corpse Venerables appeared!" Ye Yuan shouted.


    To be able to make Ye Yuan give rise to such a sense of crisis, there were only Tier 8 Corpse Venerables!


    "Rest assured, Master. With Blackwind here, these zombies can''t hurt you!" Blackwind also knew that it was different now, directly shielding in front of Ye Yuan.


    Not far away, several shiny green lights were faintly discernible!


    Ye Yuan saw it clearly. Those several rays of shiny green lights were emitted by those few zombies.


    These zombies were clearly Tier 8 Corpse Venerables!

 829 Boneyard

    After martial artists die and their bodies did not decay under some special circumstances and absorb heaven and earth essence energy instead. This would strengthen their fleshy body, causing them to turn into a zombie.


    At the beginning of birth, a zombie was just a walking corpse that had no consciousness. Because martial artists produce evil yin qi after death, so it kills instinctively.


    Once a zombie was formed, they could seize the martial artist''s essence to strengthen their own fleshy body when they kill martial artists.


    This was actually a cultivation process, only that it was done at a subconscious level.


    Following the fleshy body becoming more and more powerful, the zombie would even give birth to intelligence belonging to its own. This intelligence already had no relation whatsoever with the martial artist when he was still alive, becoming another lifeform.


    After giving birth to intelligence, the zombie could cultivate on its own and could even cultivate to Deity Realm!


    In the Divine Dao era years ago, there was a 10 thousand year zombie king that once cultivated to Deity Realm, becoming a legend.


    But at that time, he was already not much different from ordinary humans.


    The birth process of natural zombies was extremely slow. The conditions required were very stringent too.


    But if they were refined by people, this process would be greatly reduced.


    Ye Yuan and the others killing until now, the intelligence of these zombies were mostly not high. These Tier 6 zombies before their eyes all had some intelligence but were very limited.


    Tier 7 zombies, the intelligence was clearly a great deal higher.


    And those Tier 8 zombies hiding in the zombie horde, their intelligence was clearly very high.


    They knew that this party''s strength was formidable. There were even quite a number of Tier 8 Phaseless Realm existences. Therefore, each and every one of these Tier 8 Corpse Venerables was all roaming, not coming into contact with those elders. They only let ordinary zombies come and deplete the elders'' essence energy, while they wait for an opportunity to attack at the sides!


    More and more Tier 7 zombies rushed up, making the elders'' pressure skyrocket.


    Even though Tier 7 zombies could not cause much threat to them, following the increase in numbers, their essence energy expenditure would also increase by a large margin.


    By the time their essence energy was almost depleted finish, they would be at the mercy of these Tier 8 Corpse Venerables!


    "Blackwind, don''t stint on essence energy anymore! I feel that we''re already not far from the source of the zombies! Use your strongest attack and open up a way!" Ye Yuan said in a grave voice.


    "Yes, Master!"


    All of a sudden, Blackwind''s body was becoming larger at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly turning into a hundred over foot long black flood dragon.


    A colossal dragon pressure spread out. The pressure of the great circle of Tier 8 instantly erupted.


    "Surging Floodwaters!"


    Blackwind opened his mouth wide. Rapid floodwaters gushed out like a waterfall; it was abnormally turbulent!


    Those Tier 6 and 7 zombies were sent flying one after another under these floodwaters.


    Those slightly closer were even smashed to dust by the massive impact force!


    Under one move, no idea how many zombies suffered a devastating cataclysm.


    The originally tightly packed zombie horde had a massive gap flushed open too.


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he saw the situation and said, "Well done, Blackwind! Phaseless Realms, open up the path in front; charge over in one go!"


    Wei Cheng and those elders were all dazed. This black flood dragon''s destructive powers were too terrifying!


    But Blackwind''s big move also roused their spirits.


    With Blackwind around, maybe they were really able to escape with their lives.


    The great circle of Tier 8 was indeed not for show!


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, all of them did not dare to dawdle either, rapidly breaking out of the encirclement through the flushed open gap.


    Those Tier 8 Corpse Venerables were merely initial-stage Tier 8. Seeing the power of Blackwind''s move, they helplessly stared as the crowd rushed forward, not daring to charge forward.


    Ye Yuan and the others raised their speeds to the extreme, charging out several miles of distance in a blink of an eye.


    Suddenly, the party''s movements stopped, forcefully stopping their footsteps.


    Astonished expressions emerged on everybody''s faces, being struck dumbfounded by the scene before their eyes.


    In front of them, was an enormous sinkhole that stretched beyond what the eye could see.


    As far as the eyes could see, inside the sinkhole was all dazzling white bones, looking horrifying to the mind.


    These martial artists cultivating until now, God knows how many people they had killed. But even so, this scene that they saw was unbelievably shocking too.


    Right at this very moment, a glimmer of dawn lit up from the horizon. Those zombies seemed to have sensed something, retreating over into the sinkhole like tidewater.


    Those few Tier 8 Corpse Venerables hesitated a little too, then they tunneled into the sinkhole headlong.


    "This �� Just what kind of place is this? Such a huge sinkhole actually appeared at the borders, why have I never known?" Wei Cheng sucked in a deep breath and said.


    "Impossible! I remember that this area should be a flatland. How can it possibly be a massive sinkhole?'' Sheng Jun said with a solemn expression.


    Hu Shujie followed up and said, "What you said is right! If I didn''t remember wrongly, this place was indeed a region of flat land. It''s impossible to have such a huge sinkhole appear."


    "Humph! What''s impossible? The fact is placed right before your eyes. Could it be that we''re all in an illusionary realm right now?" Wu Siyuan said coldly.


    "I really didn''t expect that this place actually has such a large chunk of boneyard. No wonder it would erupt such a large-scale corpse tide. This place is an area of yin grotto, gathering extremely strong powers of evil yin in one place. As long as one places martial artists'' corpses here, it will become zombies before long. But looking at the situation of these white bones, it should be very far back already. It''s not possible to form zombies. Then there''s only one type of possibility, somebody intentionally buried countless corpses here, then erupted a corpse tide," Ye Yuan said with a solemn face.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s analysis, everyone was stricken with terror.


    "What Ye Yuan said is right! It''s just that I still have some doubts. Just what kind of person has such extraordinary capabilities, and what is his goal too?" Sheng Jun said.


    "Yeah. Major powers with this kind of ability shouldn''t take fancy on us, these puny little Rank Nine Holy Lands, right? Why on earth are they doing so?" Shu Huajie said.


    "Humph! What we should be concerned about right now shouldn''t be this, right? Aren''t you all going to worry over a little how we should quell this corpse tide? Ye Yuan, aren''t you very capable? Try telling us!" Wei Cheng said with a cold smile.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s methods, Wei Cheng was even more jealous in his heart. Along the way, Ye Yuan basked in the limelight, making Wei Cheng give rise to a thick sense of inferiority complex in his heart.


    That''s right, it was the feeling of inferiority!


    Since young, Wei Cheng had always been cut off from this kind of feeling.


    But facing Ye Yuan this time, this sort of emotion was born uncontrollably.


    At present, they had already gotten away from danger. This sort of emotion was currently being magnified endlessly.


    Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, "I have a feeling that those few Tier 8 Corpse Venerables shouldn''t be the most powerful existences yet! Want to quell the corpse tide, we probably still have to �� enter this boneyard!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s face changed drastically.


    Yesterday night''s corpse tide, they still had lingering fear in their hearts until now.


    If not for Ye Yuan and Blackwind, they, these Phaseless Realms, would probably have to perish here too.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually said that they still had to enter inside this sinkhole. This made each and every one of them become hesitant.


    "There''s no more time for you guys to hesitate. This matter not only impacts my Crimson Afterglow''s safety, but it also likewise has to do with you all! Once this corpse tide erupts, the entire White Valiant Region will likely be completely devastated and barren too!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.

 830 Have Some Brain!

    The elders all revealed conflicted looks on their faces. Clearly, the impression yesterday''s corpse tide gave them was too deep.


    One look at this boneyard, and it was clear that it was not an unimportant land. A single misstep and one''s little life would be left here.


    A Phaseless Realm elder entering inside might not obtain any advantages too.


    "Young Lord Ye, this corpse tide is already not what Phaseless Realm can stop! Unless it''s our various Holy Lands'' Holy Lords personally making a move, otherwise, it''s totally impossible to quell it!" said one elder from the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Holy Lords making a move �� can it be quelled?"


    Everyone''s faces changed, but they all fell silent.


    Just what was in this boneyard, nobody knew either. But to be able to trigger such a large-scale corpse tide, it was likely not that simple in there.


    The Holy Lands'' Holy Lords were merely First Level Dao Profound.


    Although powerful, whether or not could they come out after entering, it was really hard to say.


    "Young Lord Ye, what ideas do you have, no harm in saying it out first. Everybody can confer too," Sheng Jun suddenly said.


    After a night, Sheng Jun''s view of Ye Yuan had already utterly changed. Even talking was much more courteous.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said slowly, "Everyone''s consumption last night were all very huge. There''s no rush to enter this boneyard right away either. I have a suggestion. Announce this matter to the entire White Valiant Region''s seven Holy Lands, stating to them the pros and cons of this matter. Then, each Holy Land has to send at least one Phaseless Realm to lead the team. Everybody enters inside together, life and death up to each one''s fate! Holy Lands that don''t come will be the White Valiant Region''s common enemy!"


    The White Valiant Region was a small region. The vast majority of the territories were all ruled by the seven Holy Lands.


    These four Holy Lands at present were already more than half of the White Valiant Region''s power. These four families announcing to the White Valiant Region, the other three had no choice but to answer their summons too.


    When related to survival or extinction, this kind of major thing, these four Holy Lands naturally would not be ambiguous either.


    "Then if ��" Hua Shujie said somewhat hesitantly.


    "If we all die inside, this White Valiant Region naturally can''t stay on anymore either. Everyone find your own way out yourselves then! This matter is of utmost importance. Everybody best goes back and explain to your Holy Lords before making a final decision! But latest by three days, each family will have to confer a final conclusion. If after three days, everyone has not answered yet, my Crimson Afterglow will be the first one to withdraw out of the White Valiant Region!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ...


    "What? You want to enter that boneyard? No way! Absolutely not!"


    Tu You was also filled with worries hearing about the matter of the boneyard. But when he heard that Ye Yuan wanted to enter the boneyard, he refused to agree no matter what.


    Ye Yuan was the successor he designated. Essential experiences and tempering could be had, but this sort of dangerous place, how could he let Ye Yuan risk his own life?


    "Young Lord, according to what you guys said, this boneyard is a land of extreme peril. Phaseless Realms might not be able to come out safely if they went in too. You''re tied to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s future; how can you risk your own life?" Chen Qin also tried his best to urge Ye Yuan.


    "We, these old bones, can go and die at any time. But only you can''t die! Forget it, I don''t have many years to live anymore either, this Emperor will risk his old life this time and take on this boneyard!" Tu You said with a resolved look.


    Through this period of observation, Tu You was satisfied to the extreme with Ye Yuan, this young lord.


    Regardless whether was it talent, mind, or methods, Ye Yuan was perfect as the Young Lord. He was absolutely the one and only choice to succeed the position of the Holy Lord!


    If Ye Yuan lost his life in the boneyard, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land would really be finished!


    Seeing Tu You''s worried expression, Ye Yuan was moved inwardly, but he shook his head and said, "The death qi on Holy Lord''s body is gradually worsening. Your lifespan barely has much left. That boneyard is a land of extreme yin. The evil qi force is extremely strong. If you go there, you''d probably drop dead right away. Furthermore, your present condition, once you make an appearance, even if Crimson Afterglow pulls through the crisis this time, we''d likely be targeted by the other families too. This trip still needs a person to take charge. Clearly, I''m the most suitable candidate."


    Tu You could not help choking up. Ye Yuan thought it out more thoroughly than him.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan''s performance clearly already made the other few families certain that he was in closed-seclusion.


    The moment he made an appearance, everything would be exposed.


    Tu You heaved a sigh and said, "Sigh! I''m really a good-for-nothing as the Holy Lord!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Actually, this trip might not be that dangerous either. The reason why I said so to the others was in order to make the other Holy Lands'' Holy Lords not take action. If the other Holy Lands'' Holy Lords all make a move with only Crimson Afterglow having no movements, it will likely arouse their suspicions."


    Tu You looked at Ye Yuan and seriously did not know what he should say.


    This child was meticulous in considering things and had a long-term vision and great foresight. If it were him, it was also not possible to do it better than him!


    "Alright, then you must pay attention to safety during this trip! If the matter can''t be done, you must treat preserving your life as the priority! If you have any needs, feel free to speak!" Tu You said helplessly.


    Three days later, the White Valiant Region''s Holy Lands, all seven of them, gave a response regarding the corpse tide incident this time and sent people one after another here to the boneyard.


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that the other few Holy Lands'' Young Lords actually all came!


    But the line-up this time was clearly much stronger than before.


    Each family sent out two Phaseless Realm elders and brought along over a dozen Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. Seven families gathered together, it was actually as many as over a hundred people!


    On the Crimson Afterglow''s side, there was one additional Phaseless Realm martial artist. Apart from Wang Zan and Wu Siyuan, there was Cai Yue.


    The incident this time gave rise to much discussion. The Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company naturally would not be unaware too.


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was the Cai Yue heard that this boneyard was a land of extreme yin and actually took the initiative to find him, requesting to come together.


    Having an additional helper, Ye Yuan naturally would not be unwilling.


    "Hey, kid, you''re the one who came up with the lousy idea to force our three families to come here and take the risk, right?" a young man suddenly approached Ye Yuan and said unhappily.


    This person was the Skymist Holy Land''s Young Lord, called Kingstone.


    Ye Yuan shot him a nonchalant glance and said, "This is your responsibility. Where''s the talk of forcing?''


    "Bullshit responsibility! This lousy place isn''t bordering on our three families either, what right do you have to make us come tread into this messy situation?" Kingstone spat.


    When Wei Cheng in the distance saw this scene, he was pleased in his heart.


    This Kingstone had a short fuse. He instigated slightly just now, and he immediately came to find Ye Yuan to pick a fight.


    Although coming to this boneyard was having no alternative, being kneaded by Ye Yuan, he was unhappy in his heart.


    Not finding a bit of trouble, he could not be happy in his heart no matter what.


    "No right or anything. If you aren''t willing to come, you can go right now. Nobody will stop you." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "You!" Kingstone could not help choking up.


    "Have some brain! Is it very fun to be used as cannon fodder by others? To think that you''re even the Skymist Holy Land''s Young Lord. I really don''t know how your Holy Lord chose a moron like you!" Ye Yuan said with a cold expression.


    "You! Punk, I''ll shred this mouth of yours!" Kingstone had a fiery temper. The moment he heard, he immediately exploded.

 831 Fiendish Shadows First Appearance

    "If I were you, I wouldn''t do this kind of foolish thing, to go provoke Brother Ye!"


    Kingstone was just about to make a move when a voice sounded out behind him. Turning around to take a look, it was Sheng Jun.


    Kingstone''s face fell, and he said, "Sheng Jun, what do you mean by that?"


    "Don''t blame me for not warning you, if you look down on Brother Ye because he''s Boundless Realm, you''ll suffer a huge loss!" Sheng Jun said coolly.


    "Humph! Boundless Realm is Boundless Realm, can he still overturn the heavens?"


    Ye Yuan''s strength, if not personally witnessed, it was very hard for the average person to imagine.


    Ye Yuan''s performance that day already made Sheng Jun utterly convinced. In his eyes, Ye Yuan already had the qualifications to be treated as an equal with them Young Lords.


    "No need to say no more rubbish either. How Brother Ye''s strength is like, you''ll naturally know after entering the boneyard. Right now, it''s still best to not stir up trouble. Wait until you enter the boneyard, you''ll naturally know Brother Ye''s painstaking efforts. Making you guys all join in was also something that couldn''t be helped," Sheng Jun said.


    Kingstone shot a fierce glare at Sheng Jun and said with a cold snort, "Humph! This score, we''ll settle it again later!"


    Finished talking, Kingstone turned right around and left.


    "Many thanks to Brother Sheng for helping out!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile.


    "Huhu, Brother Ye is too kind. With Brother Ye''s strength, Kingstone can''t do anything to you at all. I just don''t wish for unnecessary issues to crop up before entering the boneyard. That''s why I made an unnecessary move," Sheng Jun responded with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.


    "Brother Ye, the seven great Holy Lands have already gathered together. What should we do now? Right now is still daytime, that boneyard has already disappeared. How do we enter?" Hua Shujie came up to ask as well.


    Ye Yuan said, "Let everybody gather around first."


    After a round of calling, a hundred over people gathered around.


    Ye Yuan fished out several glass balls from inside his storage ring and threw them into the air, casually firing out several attacks, and directly shattering the glass balls.


    Milky white powder scattered down, as if it was snowing, enveloping these hundred over people inside.


    Wei Cheng''s expression changed, and he said, "Ye Yuan, what the hell are you doing?!"


    As he was talking, he was going to avoid these powder.


    The other people''s reactions were the same as him, all afraid of Ye Yuan being up to some mischief.


    "Whoever wants to deal with the zombies by themselves, just directly go out! I won''t stop!"


    One sentence made everyone freeze.


    Ye Yuan swept over everyone and said coolly, "This thing is called Agarwood Powder. It has extremely strong corrosive effects against zombies and is also something that zombies are very fearful of. Covering on the body, zombies will automatically avoid you guys."


    "It''s actually Agarwood Powder! Heard that this thing is extremely hard to refine! Didn''t expect that Crimson Afterglow actually has this kind of excellent stuff!"


    "I also heard before that zombies below Tier 5 will melt upon contact. It can be said to be a jinx of zombies! I even heard that there are higher grades of Agarwood Powder that even Corpse Venerables, Corpse Emperors are extremely fearful of!"


    "Great! This time, entering the boneyard, we finally have an additional layer of protection!"


    These were all elder-class martial artists. Their knowledge and experiences were all very extensive. Some people were immediately overjoyed when they heard that it was Agarwood Powder.


    In order to enter this boneyard, Ye Yuan also made ample preparations these few days. Agarwood Powder was one of them.


    The zombies inside were too many. If killing one by one, it was also not possible to kill finish when one killed until they were completely drained.


    In order to save essence energy, one naturally had to avoid these zombies.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan naturally also refined a large batch of a useful medicinal pill.


    With the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land as support, Ye Yuan naturally had assurance in refining these things as well.


    Before long, the Agarwood Powder landed, blanketing a layer on everyone''s bodies.


    Regarding this trick of Ye Yuan''s, everyone was naturally endlessly grateful.


    Finished doing this, Ye Yuan flew into the air. Overlooking this stretch of flatland, his gaze revealed a ruminating look.


    "Humph! Purposely pretending to be mysterious! If the boneyard can be found during the day, was there still a need to wait until the corpse tide erupted before discovering it?" Wei Cheng said scornfully.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly had several additional small flags appear in his hands.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan fired out all of the small flags in his hands, inserting in various positions.


    Just as everyone was feeling baffled, a several dozen feet wide hole suddenly appeared in the ground, linking straight underground!


    "This �� How was this done? Could it be that there is still a grand array here? But I didn''t detect it at all!" A Phaseless Realm elder exclaimed in shock.


    "Brother Ye, how did you do it? I even thought that we have to wait until nighttime and have a huge battle with the zombies again!" Sheng Jun said in puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I already detected it on that day. There seems to be an ancient grand array here. Its power is extremely strong! This boneyard should have existed all along. It''s just that because it was concealed by the ancient grand array, that''s why it became a flatland. If my conjectures are right, this ancient grand array should have loosened up somewhat, that''s why it resulted in the evil yin qi escaping, and zombies running rampant. And the boneyard will also appear when the yin qi is at the peak at night."


    Sheng Jun was taken aback from shock. They were killing the zombies together with Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan actually perceived so many things and thought of ways to crack it.


    This Ye Yuan was truly remarkable! He was actually even well-versed in array formations!


    This skill of Ye Yuan''s evidently opened up a hole in the grand array, linking straight to the boneyard.


    "Brother Ye truly has excellent measures. This Sheng is ashamed of his inferiority," Sheng Jun praised from the bottom of his heart.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Sheng is too kind. This grand array concealing the boneyard should only be an outer-ring array formation. Through countless years of depletion, the power is already far from before. Otherwise, with this Ye''s this bit of strength, I can''t crack it either."


    Ye Yuan said it simply. Actually, opening up a hole in this grand array was not what the average person could accomplish.


    This grand array was extremely profound and fitted together perfectly with the surrounding environment. It was extremely hard to be detected.


    If Ye Yuan did not study the Array Formations Three Volumes, he might really not have the ability to crack it.


    Ye Yuan already detected the grand array on that day. After returning, he prepared several array flags for the sake of today''s array cracking use.


    "The matter brooks no delay. Take the chance that the time of the day is still early; let''s enter the boneyard earlier. Daytime''s yang qi is extremely flourishing. Even if zombies hide underground, their strengths are greatly weakened too. It''s precisely the opportune moment for us to infiltrate." Ye Yuan said.


    Everyone naturally did not have any objections and entered the boneyard from the entrance of the hole.


    After everybody disappeared, two figures appeared from goodness knows where, and stood at the entrance of the hole.


    The two people were covered up in black clothes all over their bodies. Their faces could not be seen clearly at all.


    "Je je �� These guys really have no idea of death or danger, to actually dare enter the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array," one of them said.


    "Them entering the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array is just nice having a little more blood to offer up as a sacrifice to the Lord Fiendgod! Another half a month''s time, and we should be able to borrow the power of the corpse tide to thoroughly crack the grand array." The other person said.


    "I didn''t think that this White Valiant Region actually still had such a capable person! That Crimson Afterglow boy isn''t simple!"


    "That boy is indeed quite peculiar. But doesn''t matter, he''s going to die soon, either way."

 832 Yin Wind Lair

    The party followed the long corridor, walking deep underground.


    Waves of yin wind howled over in the corridor. That bone-piercing feeling was practically on the verge of freezing everyone.


    This place was akin to an underground city. Not far away from where everyone was, there were even quite a number of zombies moving about aimlessly. The entire scene appeared incomparably horrifying.


    But these zombies were clearly very fearful of this group of people, all avoiding them like the plague.


    "This hellhole, no wonder it would cause such a large-scale corpse tide. If it keeps blowing like this, I feel like I''m going to be turned into a zombie!"


    In the dark, no idea who was the one who cursed either.


    "All thanks to Young Lord Ye''s Agarwood Powder. These zombies seeing us is like they saw ghosts, avoiding us immediately! Otherwise, who knows how many bitter fights we''d have to experience going underground!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Pooh! You''re the ghost! Your whole family members are all ghosts! Do you know how to talk or not?"


    Although the spectacle was quite harrowing, these martial artists all loosened up a little when they saw that it was not too dangerous either. They even cracked jokes.


    The jesting dialogue incurred a wave of loud laughters too.


    "Young Lord, apart from zombies in this place, it''s still zombies. Where do we start?" Wu Siyuan suddenly opened his mouth to ask.


    Ye Yuan said, "Here are all low-level zombies. The source must be in deeper areas. We just have to care about walking towards the depths. We''ll definitely be able to discover a little something. But before this, we have to find a yin wind lair first to let Elder Sister Cai Yue absorb extreme yin qi. Elder Sister Cai Yue, you''re very sensitive towards perceiving extreme yin qi and should be able to find a yin wind lair, right?"


    Cai Yue was currently trembling all over. She was clearly not very used to the gloomy and cold environment here.


    Her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique loves places with strong yang qi the most. She was very sensitive to this kind of gloomy and cold places.


    It was precisely because so that this kind of physique did not dare to come into contact with the boneyard, this sort of land of extreme yin. Yet, Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way. Not only did he bring Cai Yue in, he even wanted to make her absorb the extreme yin qi.


    Cai Yue nodded her head when she heard that. Pointing to a passageway, she said, "Carry on walking another 10 miles or so in that direction, there should be a yin wind lair."


    "Alright then, we''ll walk in that direction," Ye Yuan said.


    "Heh, the chilly air on this Elder Sister''s body is so heavy, you''re actually still using extreme yin qi to treat it. Ye Yuan, are you helping her or harming her? This Elder Sister, our Cloud Watchtower Holy Land has a high-rank Alchemy Venerable powerhouse; he''s definitely much stronger compared to this brat. As long as Elder Sister is willing, Younger Brother is willing to invite him to take action and help treat Elder Sister!" said Wei Cheng who suddenly moved closer to Cai Yue.


    Wei Cheng did not know what illness Cai Yue had and was also unaware of Cai Yue''s ''black widow'' title. But he indeed had his breath taken away by Cai Yue''s looks and seductiveness.


    Even though Cai Yue''s age was slightly older, she emitted the lingering charm of a mature woman from head to toe. Forget about Wei Cheng, a young lad brimming with vigor and vitality, even those Phaseless Realm elders, each and every one of them was also unable to hide their covetous eyes.


    In this boneyard, Cai Yue''s body was incomparably frail. How could she still emit seductiveness like normally?


    But her condition at present could stir up men''s desire to protect even more.


    Hearing Wei Cheng''s words, Cai Yue forced a smile and said, "Thank you for Young Lord Wei''s good intentions. But this lowly one''s illness, I''m afraid only Young Lord Ye can treat it. Even that Alchemy Venerable of yours is bound to be at a loss on what to do as well."


    Wei Cheng''s face turned black, his face unwittingly somewhat burning.


    In the White Valiant Region, a high-rank Alchemy Venerable was absolutely a pinnacle existence already. He fully thought that by pulling out an Alchemy Venerable, he could definitely make Cai Yue throw herself into his arms.


    Who knew that Cai Yue actually made him unable to get down the stage in front of so many people.


    Wei Cheng did not know Cai Yue''s identity. How would he know that the Heaven''s Destiny Trading Company did not lack Alchemy Venerable experts at all?


    If an Alchemy Venerable could treat her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, she would have been cured long ago.


    Cai Yue suddenly gave a muddled groan, her soft body toppling down into Ye Yuan''s embrace. Ye Yuan hurriedly supported her.


    Softness in his embrace, an extremely alluring fragrance tunneled into Ye Yuan''s nostrils.


    This woman was truly phenomenal. Even if she was wan and sallow until like this, it was also a tremendous temptation to men, Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart.


    "Young Master Ye, this lowly one is so cold and can''t walk anymore. Hold me tightly in your arms, alright?" Cai Yue said quiveringly in Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    She really could not walk anymore and did not have the slightest intention of acting spoiled.


    But this scene was ambiguous to the extreme the way others saw it.


    Especially Wei Cheng, his eyes nearly popped out.


    "This woman must be Ye Yuan''s exclusive slice of meat. This brat �� Based on what?!" Wei Cheng hated immensely in his heart.


    With Wei Cheng''s identity and status, whatever kind of woman he wanted, they could be obtained easily.


    But reaching Ye Yuan here, it just did not work!


    He even brought out a high-rank Alchemy Venerable, but Cai Yue did not even pay attention to him.


    Ye Yuan saw that Cai Yue''s conscious was already somewhat fuzzy, muttering non-stop in his embrace. He heaved a slight sigh right away and lifted Cai Yue up.


    Ye Yuan clearly sensed many odd meaningful looks, but he could not be bothered to explain, walking over in the direction Cai Yue pointed.


    A very pure man and woman relationship, but it was completely not the case in other people''s eyes.


    This kind of sexy femme fatale being embraced in Ye Yuan''s embrace, how could others not be envious?


    Walking a few miles, the majority of the people were no longer able to go deeper.


    The so-called yin wind lair was like the mouth of a spring, continuously sending out extreme yin qi. It was a place where yin qi was the heaviest.


    Ordinary martial artists could not withstand this kind of chilly yin qi at all. Extreme yin qi entering the body would cause irreversible damage to the body.


    "There is an open ground there. You guys go there and wait first. I''ll bring Cai Yue in." Ye Yuan said to everyone.


    Wu Siyuan''s expression changed, and he said, "Young Lord, this yin wind lair''s extreme yin qi is too heavy. Even I can''t quite withstand it. You go in like this, nothing will happen, right?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just some extreme yin qi, no harm."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan carried Cai Yue and walked towards the yin wind lair, his profile gradually vanishing in everyone''s line of sight.


    Ye Yuan''s true dragon body and the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art were both extreme yang and indomitable cultivation method and physique in this world. Though the extreme yin qi in here was strong, it really could not do anything to him.


    Really know how to pretend! This Young Lord doesn''t believe that you''ll be completely fine entering this yin wind lair! Best if you never come out again! Wei Cheng secretly cursed in his heart.


    Wei Cheng''s entire person was almost frozen stiff. The yin qi here was already on the verge of reaching his limits.


    Separating from the team, Ye Yuan''s speed was released fully. The distance of several miles was covered very quickly.


    This place was an enormous cavern. The extreme yin qi on the ground was practically materialized, forming a vortex, as if it was a black hole.


    The extreme yin qi continuously scoured Ye Yuan''s body but was directly shaken off by him.


    "Ugh ��"


    Cai Yue already thoroughly fainted at this time and was completely unable to take the initiative to absorb the extreme yin qi.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly, put her on the ground, and summoned Blackwind.


    "Blackwind, you help to guard me. I''ll help her absorb the extreme yin qi!" Ye Yuan instructed.

 833 Corpse Venerable

    Ye Yuan laid Cai Yue flat on the ground. He casually pulled out a hundred over earth essence crystals and started to swiftly set them up around Cai Yue.


    The array formation he set up was similar to a spirit gathering formation. But this time, it was used to gather extreme yin qi.


    The speed Ye Yuan set up the array formation was very quick. It was done in a short while.


    Once the array formation was complete, it started to operate automatically.


    Titanic amounts of extreme yin qi swarmed towards the array formation with a howl.


    But when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he furrowed his brows.


    "Cai Yue already lost consciousness and is completely unable to take the initiative to absorb the extreme yin qi. At this rate, it will bring only harm and no benefits to her body! Forget it, when doing someone a favor, go all the way. Let me lend you another helping hand!"


    Ye Yuan jumped lightly, entering inside the array formation.


    He helped Cai Yue sit up. A surge of essence energy enveloped her, letting her sit steady, then four palms came face-to-face.


    Huff huff ��


    Ye Yuan revolved essence energy, absorbing all of the extreme yin qi gathered by the array formation into his own body, then passing it into Cai Yue''s body from his palm.


    Just like this, the extreme yin qi his Cai Yue''s body accumulated more and more, while her body became increasingly colder too.


    In the end, her body actually did not even have a trace of vitality anymore.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious and still poured extreme yin qi into her body.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan opened his eyes, looking at Cai Yue rather excitedly.


    He distinctly detected it just now, a hint of yang qi was born in Cai Yue''s body!


    "Ugh ��"


    Cai Yue''s brows were slightly knitted, moaning slightly. She actually survived from a state of impending death!


    Gradually, the yang qi within Cai Yue''s body became increasingly vigorous.


    When she gradually opened both eyes, she could not help being startled inwardly.


    Ye Yuan actually used his own body to pass the extreme yin qi onto her. This would cause tremendous harm to Ye Yuan!


    "Calm your spirit and focus your mind. Continue absorbing the extreme yin qi! If there''s anything to say, say it later! You''re tantamount to have already died once. The Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique is already broken. In the future, not only will it not ask for your life, it will even make your cultivation advance by leaps and bounds! This extreme yin qi is highly beneficial to your cultivation. Absorb it in full-force," seeing Cai Yue wake up, Ye Yuan directly retracted his palms and instructed her.


    Cai Yue''s heart jolted. After nodding slightly, she started absorbing extreme yin qi with all her strength too.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan got up and left the array formation. The moment he landed, he actually staggered and nearly tumbled to the ground.


    Blackwind jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Master, are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No worries. The extreme yin qi here is indeed impressive. Even my body constitution couldn''t quite suppress it! The friend inside, you''ve already peeped for so long, do you plan to keep on peeping like this?"


    Blackwind went blank. He actually did not discover that there were still others here!


    A shadow revealed his figure from behind the yin grotto. It was a middle-aged person dressed in black robes.


    Looking from the exterior, this middle-aged man was no different from ordinary people. But a faint green light emitted from his eyes, appearing rather demonic.


    "Looks like we seemed to have interrupted your peaceful cultivation. Sorry about that," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "You absorbed so much extreme yin qi and actually didn''t die!"


    The middle-aged man''s voice was very hoarse, sounding very dry, making people very uncomfortable.


    "Just some extreme yin qi, it won''t take my life yet. But I didn''t expect that this yin grotto is actually a Corpse Venerable''s grotto. This one was anxious in saving people and was rather presumptuous," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    This middle-aged man was actually a Tier 8 corpse venerable!


    Seems like apart from the eyes, he was already not much different from normal people.


    This yin grotto was a highly dangerous place for human martial artists, but to Corpse Venerables, it was a superb cultivation site.


    Not even a single zombie was seen in the vicinity here. Clearly, they did not dare to approach this place, because here was the grotto of this middle-aged man before their eyes!


    Of course, if this Corpse Venerable were not wary of Blackwind, he would probably have made a move long ago to deal with Ye Yuan.


    The middle-aged man sized Ye Yuan up for a while and opened his mouth to say, "I''ve seen you before. You''re �� very formidable!"


    "Oh? Looks like you were present on that day too. Didn''t expect that you can actually remember me," Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said.


    "Us zombies are very sensitive towards smell. Even though a layer of Agarwood Powder is covered on your body, the original scent can''t be hidden from me," the corpse venerable said.


    This Agarwood Powder was useful against low-level zombies. But to Corpse Venerable this kind of rank, it basically only existed in name.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine then, there''s no need for us to catch up. But I''m quite curious, the few of you Corpse Venerables have clearly been here for a very long time already and have never interfered with the affairs of human martial artists. But why did you have to control those low-level zombies to attack humans this time?"


    The middle-aged man mused for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "Nothing to do with us! However, I can''t tell you the reason why."


    "Alright, then I''ll change the question. Inside this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, just what kind of existence is sealed? If my conjectures are right, this corpse tide probably can''t be unrelated with him, right?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    The middle-aged man had a deadpan face and was completely expressionless. But at this time, he was clearly unbelievably shocked by Ye Yuan''s guess.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had seen through the actual situation about this grand array on that day. The reason why he dragged the seven great Holy Lands all into the water was in order to find more helpers to deal with the situation.


    Ye Yuan researched very extensively into array formations. This Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was a very famous grand array in the Ancient Era. Moreover, it was a Tier 10 grand array that only Deity Realm powerhouses could lay down!


    An existence that this kind of array formation sealed was bound to not be something ordinary.


    On that day, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array''s loosening up, and he also sensed the incredibly dangerous aura coming from inside the boneyard.


    Once this sort of thing broke out, those who would suffer would probably not just be the White Valiant Region.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would summon so many people down. The goal was in order to stop this thing from breaking free!


    "You actually recognize this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array! Looks like you''re even harder to deal with than I imagined! But even if you know, it''s useless too. I urge you to best return to the surface as soon as possible and make haste to leave this area," the corpse venerable said in shock.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Who asked me to be a goody-two-shoes! This sort of thing, if I didn''t run into it, then forget it. Since it let me, Ye Yuan, run into it, then I can''t let him escape! If the matter can''t be done, it won''t be late for me to discuss it again at length."


    Ye Yuan did not have much sentiments towards the White Valiant Region. But to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, he still had some feelings.


    This sort of feeling was very similar to when he was at the Tranquil Cloud Sect back then.


    Letting him watch the people here be plunged into misery and suffering passively, he could not do it!


    Withdrawing out of the White Valiant Region was just a final action that could not be helped.


    A large holy land''s roots were deeply rooted. How could wanting to migrate be something easy?


    Boom!


    Right then, Cai Yue erupted with a powerful aura in the array formation, and she was actually going to break through on the spot!


    "Looks like my friend has just about to recover. It was all thanks to your grotto though. Forget it, since that''s the case, I''ll gift you a lucky chance!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

 834 Pig-like Teammates

    Ye Yuan circulated essence energy. With a convulsion, he actually expelled out all of the extreme yin qi within his body.


    That Corpse Venerable''s pupils constricted. Clearly, he did not expect it to actually be so easy for Ye Yuan to deal with this extreme yin qi.


    "Gifting me a lucky chance? You, this young man, are truly a bit too impudent!" the corpse venerable said.


    Ye Yuan was merely Boundless Realm cultivation but said that he wanted to gift a Tier 8 corpse venerable a lucky chance. This sounded somewhat comical no matter how one listened.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and actually fished out a large number of earth essence crystals again, and started to reinforce the array formation from before.


    Before long, inside this grotto was already completely covered by the array formation.


    "You �� You actually completely blocked the outflow of the extreme yin qi inside this yin grotto, raising the concentration of extreme yin qi within this grotto by several times!" the corpse venerable said in shock.


    This array formation actually directly blocked off the outflow of yin qi through Ye Yuan''s reinforcement, gathering all of the extreme yin qi within this cavern.


    If the corpse venerable cultivated here, it could be said to yield twice the results with half the effort!


    Even if he had a corpse face, his expression at this time was fascinating to the extreme too.


    "Just some meager tricks. Just take it as giving a plum in return for a peach! This array formation can roughly maintain for one year plus. In this period of time, you just cultivate well." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Originally, the array formation Ye Yuan set up was just a temporary array formation and would dissipate very quickly.


    But after going through the reinforcement, not only did the power of this array formation obtain a tremendous increase, the duration lengthened a lot too.


    This way, the value of this yin grotto would be much greater.


    The Corpse Venerable cultivating in here would absolutely yield twice the results with half the effort!


    Just this one year plus was also sufficient to let his cultivation shake off those of the same species by a great margin.


    At this time, Cai Yue''s breakthrough had also already drawn to an end.


    Originally, Cai Yue was peak Third Level Phaseless. Borrowing this yin qi force, she actually surged right through the Fourth Level Phaseless bottleneck, breaking through to the middle-stage Phaseless Realm!


    This was absolutely an enormous leap to Cai Yue.


    This hurdle, if Cai Yue cultivated normally, without ten years or eight years, it was very hard to break through.


    But now, in just a short period, she crossed a small stage.


    For the first time in her life, Cai Yue felt that her Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique was so wonderful.


    She came in front of Ye Yuan and bowed formally as she said, "Young Lord Ye, this lowly one''s life will be yours in the future! Toiling like a slave is all up to a word of your instructions."


    Ever since triggering the Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique, the fear of death was like a bone-festering maggot, plaguing her every day.


    Now, she finally utterly eliminated this sort of torture.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Sister is so beautiful, if you toil like a slave for me, how many men under the heaven will hunt me down!"


    Cai Yue was just like a young maiden at this time. Hearing these words, she actually blushed red and said, "Young Lord, don''t make fun of this lowly one!"


    "Not making fun for you. You didn''t see when I carried you in, what kind of expressions the rest looked at me with," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Cai Yue said with a face full of grievances, "So what? Young Lord won''t even look this lowly one in the eye! This lowly one knows that she is already unchaste and isn''t good enough for Young Lord. But if Young Lord needs someone to wait upon you, you just have to say a word will do!"


    The current Cai Yue could be said to be filled with amorous feelings. Her mindset was already completely different from when she just knew Ye Yuan. These words were not teasing words, but words from the bottom of her heart.


    It was just that the current Ye Yuan did not have much of a leisurely and carefree mood.


    "Elder Sister don''t need to treat me like a stranger. It''s late, we''d best hurry back," Ye Yuan said.


    This boneyard was full of dangers. Leaving for a long time, Ye Yuan was worried about the rest too.


    That Corpse Venerable sent Ye Yuan away with his eyes but did not say much, directly entering inside the array formation and started to cultivate.


    Returning to the place everyone was resting, Ye Yuan sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right. Looking over, there were actually quite a few people missing.


    When Wu Siyuan saw Ye Yuan, he hurriedly went up to greet, and said with a displeased look, "Young Lord, that Wei Cheng simply doesn''t know what''s good for him. He got impatient from waiting and actually brought people from Skymist and another Holy Land away, and they headed towards the depths! He even said that Young Lord was deliberately mystifying things, delaying everybody''s journey because of a woman!"


    Wu Siyuan had a face full of indignation. Clearly, he had a stomach full of pent up anger from arguing with Wei Cheng just now.


    Ye Yuan''s expression fell slightly, and he asked, "Where have they headed?"


    Wu Siyuan pointed in a direction and said, "Over there have two fork roads. Wei Cheng brought people and entered the corridor on the left!"


    Ye Yuan followed Wu Siyuan''s direction and looked over, and he could not help being speechless for a while.


    Ever since he entered the boneyard, he had always been advancing following the direction of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array.


    But the direction Wei Cheng walked in just happened to be opposite from the grand array. What they would run into, Ye Yuan did not dare to guarantee either.


    After all, this boneyard was very bizarre. Any danger appearing was very normal.


    Really not afraid of god-like opponents, only scared of pig-like teammates!


    Right then, Sheng Jun suddenly came forward and said to Ye Yuan, "Brother Ye, Wei Cheng brought away quite a number of people. I also urged bitterly for a long time, but he wouldn''t listen. In this kind of place, it''s best for our strength to not scatter. In my opinion, let''s go after them?"


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and felt that what Sheng Jun said was reasonable too. He nodded his head and said, "Fine then. Everyone hasten your footsteps, we''ll catch up as quickly as possible."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    The group of people followed Wei Cheng''s footprints, gradually entering deep inside.


    "Young Lord, along the way, the zombies seem to be getting lesser and lesser!"


    Along the way, the surrounding zombies got lesser and lesser. By now, there were barely any zombies in the corridor.


    Ye Yuan discovered this sort of strange situation too and said solemnly, "Looks like there should be some powerful existence ahead. Even these zombies are also quite wary. Otherwise, it''s not possible for these zombies'' numbers to get smaller and smaller."


    Sheng Jun''s expression changed, and he said, "Doesn''t that mean that Wei Cheng they all might run into danger at anytime?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head but did not say much. Now that it came to this, any more complaints were also of no help to the situation.


    He instructed everyone to quicken their pace and continued to chase over towards the depths.


    Barely traveling for a period of time, everyone discovered that the surrounding was already completely void of the figures of zombies.


    The entire corridor was empty and desolate inside, dead silent, making people feel rather uneasy instead.


    Right as they were walking, someone suddenly cried out, "Quickly look, there seem to be people there!"


    In front, there was indeed a person collapsed on the ground.


    Everyone walked closer to take a look. That person was wearing precisely the attire of the Skymist Holy Land on his. It was a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist.


    Ye Yuan still had some impression of this person. But he was already a dead man at this time.


    Ye Yuan went forward to investigate a little. This person was already deader than dead. There were injuries all over his body, his death state very wretched, virtually dismembered by someone with a flurry of blades. There was no longer an intact spot on his body.


    Sheng Jun''s expression changed when he saw the situation and said, "Could it be that there are still others underground here? Looking at the wounds on his body, it should have been caused by blades and swords! Those zombies shouldn''t know how to use blades and swords, right?"

 835 Furious Scolding

    On the way, they discovered quite a number of dead bodies. They were all dismembered by attacks from blades and then died. It was definitely done by people, not zombies.


    Without a doubt, Wei Cheng''s group of people ran into danger.


    "Everybody, be on guard!" Ye Yuan instructed.


    Wei Cheng brought away three Holy Lands'' martial artists. Their strength was not weak. But there were still so many people killed. Clearly, the danger they ran into was also not ordinary.


    Everyone did not dare to disregard it when they heard that, becoming attentively and kept a sharp lookout.


    "Brother Ye, there seem to be people fighting in the place ahead. Could it be Wei Cheng they all?" Sheng Jun suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan heard the fighting sounds ahead too. Nodding his head, he said, "Very likely. Let''s hurry over!"


    The group of people hastened their footsteps and walked over following the fighting sounds.


    Not traveling very far, they indeed saw the profiles of Wei Cheng they all. They were currently immersed in an arduous battle.


    And what they were fighting was actually a large group of skeleton soldiers! The skeleton soldiers were all holding production style long sabers in their hands and were actually like an army.


    These skeleton soldiers'' strength was very formidable. There was no shortage of some with Tier 8 strength among them. Furthermore, their numbers were massive, and they already surrounded Wei Cheng they all at this time.


    These three Holy Lands'' losses were tragic. If Ye Yuan they all still had not reached in time, they would probably be completely wiped out.


    "Go!" Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, issuing the order immediately.


    Dozens of martial artists rushed forward and got tangled up in a battle with those skeleton soldiers.


    Wei Cheng was covered in blood all over at this time. He still sustained quite a few blades on his body.


    Even though he was holding a low-grade holy artifact in his hand, these skeletons'' defense was seriously too formidable. Although he killed quite a few skeletons, there were still even more skeletons surrounding over.


    He already killed until his hands were weak!


    "Could it be �� I''m going to die here? If I had known earlier, I wouldn''t have acted on my own. If I were to follow Ye Yuan, this sort of situation probably wouldn''t happen, right?" Wei Cheng already lost all hope in his heart.


    He was unbelievably remorseful in his heart right now. Although unwilling to admit it, Ye Yuan''s ability in all aspects was more than a great deal stronger than him.


    The leader of this group of people was undoubtedly Ye Yuan being the most suited.


    But when he saw Ye Yuan being in the limelight everywhere, he could not feel good in his heart no matter what. Hence, he incited the other two Holy Lands to leave the main force together.


    He didn''t think that the more they walked, the lesser the zombies got. In the end, many of this kind of skeleton soldiers actually dashed out all at once, surrounding them in all directions. They could not escape even if they wanted to flee.


    Although very unwilling to submit to Ye Yuan, in the final moment of his life, he actually deemed that Ye Yuan would be able to deal with this sort of situation!


    Bang!


    A skeleton soldier in front of Wei Cheng was actually directly smashed into dust!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Very soon, the skeleton soldiers around him all fell down one by one.


    Wei Cheng''s originally dead and ash-gray eyes radiated splendor anew.


    A figure akin to a descended god let him saw hope anew. But when he saw that figure clearly, he could not help revealing a shocked expression.


    "Y-Ye Yuan! He �� He actually came to rescue me!"


    At this moment, Wei Cheng felt incredible irony. He made things difficult for Ye Yuan in all aspects and even went off with other three Holy Lands'' martial artists. But at the final juncture, the one who rescued him was Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not take notice of him and rushed to other areas immediately.


    With this exchange of blows, Ye Yuan''s expression changed slightly too.


    These skeletons completely did not defend at all. They only went on the offensive blindly!


    The strength of their skeleton frames was actually even tougher than high-grade profound artifacts! Those Tier 8 skeletons, their bodies were even comparable to low-grade holy artifacts! It was difficult for ordinary blades and swords to cause damage to them at all.


    Low-grade holy artifacts were very scarce to Rank Nine Holy Lands. Among these martial artists present, only the seven Holy Lands'' Young Lords and a small number of Phaseless Realm elders had low-grade holy artifacts. They could not cause any tangible harm to the skeletons at all.


    The strength of Wei Cheng''s group of people was not weak. It was no wonder that they would fall into a bitter battle.


    "Blackwind, come out!" Ye Yuan roared. Blackwind came out a roar.


    "Roar!"


    Blackwind gave a roar and directly trampled a skeleton with a foot.


    Blackwind already reached the brink of transforming into a dragon. The power of his fleshy body was already not much different compared to a true dragon. It was actually even more powerful than these skeletons!


    "Blackwind, you go and deal with those Tier 8 skeletons!" Ye Yuan ordered.


    "Yes!"


    Blackwind received the order and charged towards the skeleton group like a war chariot, falling into battle with those Tier 8 skeletons.


    Blackwind was well-worthy of possessing true dragon bloodline. His combat strength was formidable until it made people''s hair stand on end. His enormous claws were even comparable to holy artifacts. Under a single claw strike, even those Tier 8 skeletons were smashed.


    Among all of the martial artists, the only one who could keep up with Blackwind''s speed of killing the enemy was Ye Yuan.


    Those Tier 7 skeletons completely could not take a single blow under Ye Yuan''s fist.


    Ye Yuan once broke Nalan Hong''s sword with one punch. It could be seen how powerful his fleshy body was.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan integrated the primeval dragon bone into his arm and underwent refinement daily. His fist was the most powerful place in his entire body, just like a glass cutter''s diamond.


    Even if the bones of these skeletons were any stronger, it was also not possible to be stronger than the primeval dragon bone.


    With the addition of these two people, a change happened to the battle situation very quickly. The skeleton soldiers around the three Holy Lands'' martial artists were swept away clean very quickly.


    Being snatched from the jaws of death, the three Holy Lands'' martial artists erupted with a huge cheer.


    But at present, the three Holy Lands'' martial artists'' casualties were already more than half. It could be said to be heavy losses.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Bang!


    Just as everyone was cheering, a figure flew out all of a sudden, smashing heavily onto the walls of the cavern.


    Sheng Jun pointed at Wei Cheng and roared in an uncontrollable rage, "So many martial artists died because you were jealous of those more able than you! Are you happy now?"


    The surroundings quieted down all at once. The cheers died down too, only hearing Sheng Jun''s furious scolding.


    "You, this fool, think yourself to be infallible! As the Young Lord, you put your own subordinates in a dangerous situation. What is your intention?! You take a look at them yourself, because of that laughable pride of yours, they almost died because of you! And Kingstone also died because of you! If you can get out, how do you plan on giving an account to the Skymist Holy Land? This boneyard is so dangerous and yet, you treat it like child''s play! Really seeking death!"


    Not far away, Kingstone''s corpse was shockingly there. He was actually hacked to death by a flurry of blades by the skeleton soldiers already.


    The Skymist Holy Land''s Young Lord actually died pitifully here.


    Wei Cheng swept a glance over, only to see each and every one of the three Holy Lands'' martial artists covered in wounds, their faces seemingly haggard.


    And all of this was all thanks to him!


    Wei Cheng discovered that the three Holy Lands'' martial artists were all looking at him with fierce glares. Especially the Skymist Holy Land''s martial artists who wished that they could immediately come up and kill him.


    Even the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s martial artists were disappointed to the extreme in Wei Cheng.


    After this accident, they finally knew Ye Yuan''s importance.


    The situation that they were unable to cope with by going all out, Ye Yuan resolved it the moment he came!


    These skeletons were so powerful, but could not even withstand a single blow in front of Ye Yuan.


    This was a total disparity in strength!


    "I �� I''m �� sorry ��" Wei Cheng choked.

 836 Terrifying Existence

    "Sorry? Heh heh, can an apology revives your subordinates? Can an apology treat the wounds on their bodies? You''re really an idiot beyond redemption!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Sheng Jun''s putting up with Wei Cheng already reached the limits. This time, he finally exploded.


    And this time, Wei Cheng finally shed remorseful tears.


    "Alright, don''t scold him anymore. Better pluck your spirits up; it''s not over yet! We seem to have �� provoked an extraordinary fellow this time!" Ye Yuan suddenly said with a grim expression.


    Everyone''s faces changed, all not quite certain what it meant.


    All of the skeletons were clearly finished off. What danger would there be still?


    Everyone looked towards Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking over at the entrance of the passageway.


    The moment everyone saw, they could not help being greatly alarmed inwardly.


    An additional skeleton was there since goodness knows when!


    Just one!


    That skeleton did not say a word. It just sat at the cave entrance silently. Under its hand, it was pressing on a long saber.


    "Master, you need to be careful. His strength is unfathomable! Blackwind is probably completely not his match either!" Blackwind suddenly spoke.


    Blackwind''s words gave everyone a huge shock.


    He was a great circle Tier 8 dragon race, but he actually admitted himself that he was not this skeleton''s match!


    Then wouldn''t this skeleton''s strength have to reach Tier 9?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said to everyone, "Everybody, retreat out of this cavern. Turn around, hurry up!"


    Sheng Jun''s expression changed, and he said, "Brother Ye ��"


    "Relax, I''ll catch up," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Sheng Jun''s gaze showed a complicated expression, and he said, "Take care, Brother Ye. Let''s go!"


    Dozens of martial artists withdrew out of this cavern very quickly under Sheng Jun''s lead. In the empty cave, there was only Ye Yuan, Blackwind, and that skeleton opposite left.


    "On you, there is the aura of the Vast Heaven Stele!"


    That skeleton''s mouth rattled and actually opened its mouth to talk! The moment it started talking, it startled Ye Yuan.


    The Vast Heaven Stele was absorbed by him into his body. Ordinary people could not detect it at all. But the skeleton actually laid bare the truth with a single comment!


    Looks like this skeleton not making a move the entire time was probably because of the Vast Heaven Stele. Otherwise, if he swung a saber down, most likely no one could withstand it.


    "Senior recognizes the Vast Heaven Stele?" Ye Yuan did not deny it but answered with a question instead.


    "Of course, I know it! The Vast Heaven Stele''s former owner was one of the leaders of the human race!" the skeleton said slowly.


    "Former owner? Could Senior be talking about Senior Fang Tian?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    But the skeleton shook its head and said, "Fang Tian? Looks like the Vast Heaven Stele has already changed quite a few generations of owners. No idea how long I''ve slumbered here either. But since you obtained the Vast Heaven Stele, looks like the time for the Divine Realm''s great calamity has arrived again."


    Ye Yuan''s expression became apprehensive. Looks like this skeleton''s era before his death was even further back than he imagined!


    Furthermore, hearing the meaning in the skeleton''s words, seemed like it was all ominous foreboding once the Vast Heaven Stele came into being.


    Recalling Fang Tian''s experiences that Long Teng mentioned before, seemed like it was really the case. That whatever Heavenly Fiendgod sounded like a very powerful existence when one heard it.


    If not for Fang Tian, most likely, the Divine Realm''s situation right now would definitely not be like this.


    Now that 50 thousand years had passed, could it be another round of samsara again?


    But Long Teng did not elaborate in detail regarding that earth-shattering great battle 50 thousand years ago and did not disclose more things. The specific circumstances, Ye Yuan did not know either.


    Except, undercurrents seemed to be flowing in the Divine Realm presently. Could it be �� related to the great calamity the skeleton talked about?


    "Senior, just what kind of great calamity will the Divine Realm encounter? Is it possible that it''s related to some extent with this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array? According to what Junior knows, this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was also an extremely formidable array formation in the Ancient Era. Just what kind of an existence is this boneyard suppressing?" Ye Yuan was filled with doubts.


    "Since you recognize this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, why did you still bring so many people inside? At present, the grand array has already loosened. That thing will accelerate the breaking of the seal after obtaining so much blood feed!" the skeleton said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed when he heard that. He briefly recounted the events that happened in this period of time.


    The skeleton kept silent after hearing it. He only opened his mouth after some time and said, "You went through the trouble. It''s just that your strength is too poor. Coming in makes no difference too. Just now, if not for sensing the Vast Heaven Stele, you guys would already all be dead men."


    The skeleton''s words were very calm, as though talking about something that was not worth mentioning. Blackwind this great circle of Tier 8, he thought nothing of him at all.


    Ye Yuan did not doubt this skeleton''s words in the slightest. This person was surely a peerless powerhouse during his lifetime.


    Even if he was only left with a skeleton now, the feeling that he gave him was also incredibly dangerous.


    Except, being looked down upon by a skeleton, Ye Yuan was helpless too. Even though Ye Yuan was already going all out to increase his strength, it was still not quite adequate to look at!


    Facing this kind of ancient-class powerhouse, even if countless tens of thousands of years had elapsed, he was not a match.


    "Bring them away. This fiendgod is going to come into being very soon! You all can''t stop him! What are those Deity Realm powerhouses all doing, to actually let you guys, these babies, come to die!" The skeleton said unhappily.


    Ye Yuan was speechless again when he heard that and said with a sigh, "Senior, the Divine Realm''s Divine Dao has already dwindled to zero for over 100 thousand years! Ever since then, there are no longer Divine Realm powerhouses!"


    "What?! Divine Dao dwindled to zero!" Hearing this news, the skeleton finally lost composure.


    Only after a long time did the skeleton sigh and said, "I''m only a remnant soul now, completely unable to feel Heavenly Dao. Could it be that the Divine Realm has entered an age of declining laws? Forget it, I''m already dead for god knows how many years and can''t bother with matters after my death either. I can only give a last bit of meager strength."


    Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart. Between the lines of this skeleton''s words, it all revealed the might of the fiendgod this place was suppressing!


    Once an existence like this broke out, who knew what kind of a catastrophe the Divine Realm would have to suffer!


    "Senior, isn''t there any way at all?" Ye Yuan said unresignedly.


    "Back then, the one who sealed the fiendgod with this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner. He was one of the leaders of the human race, and even he was incapable of killing this fiendgod. You can imagine his power! Even though you acquired the Vast Heaven Stele, your strength is too weak and don''t have the ability to deal with the fiendgod at all. Furthermore, you said that somebody is intentionally weakening the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array. Most likely, he''ll be able to break out before long," the skeleton said.


    How powerful the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner the skeleton talked about was, Ye Yuan had no way of imagining. But he was certain that as the leader of the human race at that time, the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner''s strength was definitely formidable to the extreme.


    Even he had no way of killing the fiendgod. It could be seen how powerful this fellow was.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said, "According to what Senior said, this fiendgod has already been sealed for several tens of thousands of years. Likely, his strength at present is just a mere fraction already. If talking about killing the fiendgod, wouldn''t now be the best opportunity?"


    The skeleton was silent for a while and said, "Junior, you''re very responsible! But there''s no way that you''re his match. You have the Vast Heaven Stele on hand, best to cultivate as quickly as possible! That way, perhaps there''s still a gleam of chance to kill the fiendgod!"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, "Junior �� wants to give it a go!"

 837 All Facets of Life

    Rumble ��


    All of a sudden, the whole world started trembling.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. This tremor clearly came from the direction of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array.


    "Has it begun? Looks like I''ve reached the time to leave as well! Junior, future matters will be entrusted to you! On you, I saw the shadow of the Vast Heaven Stele''s owner! Be careful," the skeleton said this sentence, then turned right around and left.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was slightly dark, and he turned around and left too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out safely, everyone heaved a big sigh in relief too.


    "Brother Ye, it''s really great that you''re fine! No idea what happened underground, to actually make even the earth tremble. Furthermore, these zombies are actually flooding towards underground like tidewater," Sheng Jun said rather worriedly.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was grave as he said, "A fiendgod is suppressed underground here, whose strength is overwhelming! These zombies were probably created by people with the intent of assaulting the grand array. Now, this grand array suffered a tremendous impact. The fiendgod is going to break free very soon."


    "Fiendgod! In this world, could there really be the existence of the fiend race?"


    "N-No way, right? To proclaim to be a fiendgod, wouldn''t that be �� a Deity Realm-like existence?"


    "Are you kidding?! Once an existence like that breaks out, who in this Divine Realm can be his match? W-We''d better hurry up and leave!"


    Ye Yuan''s words caused a huge panic among the seven Holy Lands'' martial artists.


    Many martial artists already could not contain themselves, wanting to leave this boneyard.


    Deity Realm, this was a realm that made all martial artists yearn for. It was also a realm that all martial artists feared.


    Facing Deity Realm powerhouses, not everybody had this kind of courage.


    To martial artists in an age of declining laws, Deity Realm was equivalent to invincibility.


    "Everybody, this fiendgod was sealed for several tens of thousands of years by the grand array. His loss of strength is immense, and it''s precisely a fine opportunity for us to slay him! Once the fiendgod breaks free, when he recovers his strength, the Divine Realm will surely be plunged into an abyss of suffering. I ask for everyone to lend this Ye a helping hand and eliminate this fiend!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said to everyone.


    Wei Cheng''s two legs were trembling. Suddenly, he snapped, "Ye Yuan, you had known that there is the fiendgod existing underground here long ago. Once it broke out, your Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will be the first to bear the brunt, so you want to drag us, the other six families, all into the water, isn''t that so! Hahaha, you even feigned a noble appearance, saying that it''s for the consideration of the seven Holy Lands! You, this fellow, are a hypocrite posing as a person of high morals!"


    Hearing that the fiendgod was about to break free soon, Wei Cheng was frightened to the extreme in his heart.


    Under this sort of circumstances, he habitually pushed all of the blame to Ye Yuan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    It was just that his words indeed aggravated the fear in everyone''s hearts even more. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan became somewhat unfriendly.


    It was only due to Blackwind being present that they maintained a final restraint.


    Under this kind of hopeless situation, it could reflect people''s hearts most of all.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "With your view of things, you can only see a tiny little White Valiant Region. Once the fiendgod breaks out, who in the entire Divine Realm can resist his footsteps?"


    Everyone''s faces changed, all feeling a sense of pressure coming from head-on.


    The fiendgod coming into being, the Divine Realm would surely be turbulent, and the one to be the first to bear the brunt was the White Valiant Region.


    "Everybody, don''t listen to him quibble! You aren''t going to say now that you came underground for the sake of the human race''s righteousness, right? I don''t care, either way, I''m leaving! That is a fiendgod! Which one of you wants to seek death, just go yourself!"


    Finished talking, he brought the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s remaining martial artists and left straight away.


    Hua Shujie had a look of struggle and also came in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Brother Ye, the fiendgod cannot be fought! Presumably, an existence like him won''t take fancy on puny little Rank Nine Holy Lands like us too. Farewell!"


    Finished talking, he turned around and said to the Fire Feather Holy Land martial artists, "Let''s go!"


    Ye Yuan did not stop Hua Shujie''s departure, but said to Sheng Jun, "Brother Sheng, you?"


    Sheng Jun had a look of dilemma too and countered with a question instead, "Brother Ye, even if the fiendgod''s strength is depleted to the limit by the grand array, he''s likely not what we can rival as well. I wonder how much confidence Brother Ye has?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Not much confidence!"


    Sheng Jun was stunned, He originally thought that Ye Yuan being so resolute, he more or less had some confidence. But looking at it now, Ye Yuan was completely messing around!


    "Brother Ye, isn''t it courting death like this? Is it worth it?" Sheng Jun asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "There''s no worth it or not worth it, only willing or unwilling. I, Ye Yuan, want to do it, so I''ll go do it. It''s that simple."


    Sheng Jun was stupefied again. If Ye Yuan talked about some great principle with him, he would definitely turn around and go.


    But Ye Yuan''s words made his heart jolt.


    Real men only seek a clear conscious when doing things, who cares about his reputation before and after his death!


    "Fine! Brother Ye, I, Sheng Jun, will accompany you to go crazy today!"


    Sheng Jun turned around again and said to the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land''s martial artists, "Though I''m the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land''s Young Lord, today''s matter, I won''t force you guys! Whoever is willing to stay behind, I, Sheng Jun, welcome cordially! Whoever is willing to go, I absolutely won''t bar the way either!"


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not harbor any hope towards these people but did not expect that Sheng Jun actually really chose to remain behind.


    Ye Yuan had this attitude towards the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land too. In the end, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land martial artists actually all chose to stay behind.


    But the other three Holy Lands, only a few people stayed behind.


    The number of people that remained behind in the end was merely 20 over people. Among them, over half was even the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s martial artists.


    But this figure already far surpassed Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    With Sheng Jun''s lead, a Phaseless Realm elder even stayed behind for the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land.


    "Elder Sister Cai Yue, aren''t you going too? You had a hard time before managing to cure your Heavenly Yin Terminal Meridian Physique. If you encounter any mishap here, wouldn''t it be Ye Yuan''s fault?"


    From start to end, Cai Yue stood behind Ye Yuan, did not say a word, and did not move before either.


    Only when she heard Ye Yuan ask did Cai Yue smile and said, "This lowly one said before, in the future, this life is yours. Moreover, honestly speaking, the current Young Lord Ye is really mesmerizing this lowly one to death!"


    Cai Yue''s eyes were full of admiration. Her gaze looking at Ye Yuan was like looking at her lover.


    Ye Yuan said with a mocking smile, "Your life is your own, nothing to do with me. It''s really very dangerous this time. I don''t have any assurance at all. Elder Sister better leave."


    Cai Yue just smiled but did not have the intention of moving.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only not urge anymore.


    Rumble ��


    The tremors underground became even fiercer. In the underground passageway, wisps of fiendish black qi actually started spreading all over the place!


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said, "Such powerful fiendish qi! Truly well-deserving of being a fiendgod! Being sealed for so many years by the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, he can actually still erupt with such powerful fiendish qi. Looks like the fiendgod is going to break free very soon. Let''s hurry up and go!"


    The fiendgod had not broken free yet and already dispersed such powerful fiendish qi. This made everyone involuntarily become even more worried in their hearts.

 838 Setting up Formation

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several dozen figures scurried out from the passageway Ye Yuan set up.


    "Pooh! Pretending to be a human race hero for what? It''s fine if you go seek death yourself, you even want to drag us to be scapegoats. Are heroes so easy to be? Fishing for fame and praise!" Wei Cheng spat at the entrance.


    He said these words very loudly and did not avoid everyone''s eyes and ears.


    The moment the words came out, everyone shot over contemptuous looks.


    "If not for Ye Yuan, you''d have already died several times over. You still have the capability to make sarcastic remarks here? Being shameless to your level is also considered a kind of realm!" Hua Shujie said with a cold smile.


    Even though he did not have the courage to face the fiendgod, he still admired Ye Yuan''s choice greatly.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan had indeed saved everyone a number of times. This was an indisputable fact.


    "Hua Shujie, don''t talk like you''re very lofty, didn''t you run too? What right do you have to comment on me? Also, you guys! Each and every one of you looking at me with this sort of expression for what? If you have the capabilities, go down yourselves!" Wei Cheng roared.


    Under repeated blows, Wei Cheng''s psyche already utterly lost balance.


    But his words were still very incisive. No matter what reason, running was running. These martial artists all turned their faces away, revealing looks of embarrassment.


    People all had this kind of mentality, feeling that if the sky fell down, there would be tall guys propping it up.


    The fiendgod coming into being should be those Divine King powerhouses coming out to face the enemy. What responsibility and duty did they have to face this kind of danger?


    Those like Ye Yuan were undoubtedly moths flying into the fire that kind. They would even be ridiculed by people, such as Wei Cheng.


    "Wow, very lively eh. Didn''t you guys go in? Why did you come out so quickly? You''re making it very hard for me like this!"


    Suddenly, a spooky voice sounded out, making everyone jump in fright.


    Two people clad entirely in black clothes suddenly appeared. They actually did not discover at all before this.


    Hua Shujie said with a slightly somber expression, "Who are you people? Making a show of force here, don''t you know that the fiendgod is about to come into being at once?"


    The two black-clothed people exchanged a glance and could not help laughing weirdly. One of them said with a big laugh, "Fiendgod coming into being? Of course we know! Because this fiendgod is freed by us!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces changed drastically. No wonder Ye Yuan said that someone had ulterior motives. Turns out that he really hit the mark!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Je je, although your strength is a little lousy, as Lord Fiendgod''s blood feed, it''s barely adequate. Originally, you guys sending yourselves in saved us some trouble. Now �� we can only personally take action and send you in." The other person said with a weird laugh.


    "Who the hell are you people? Why do you want to do this sort of thing that betrays the human race?" Hua Shujie interrogated.


    "Well �� You can call us �� Holy Followers! Alright, surrender without resistance!" One of them said coolly.


    ...


    When Ye Yuan and the rest rushed to the depths underground, they were struck dumbfounded by the scene before their eyes.


    Beneath the ground was an enormous cavern. At this time, inside the entire cavern was filled with fiendish qi.


    East, South, West, North, and Central; all five positions had five sacrificial altars constructed by no idea who.


    At this moment, those zombies were all walking over towards the area surrounded by the sacrificial altars without heed for their lives. They were directly refined into a cloud of blood mist, then directly absorbed by the sacrificial altar in the middle.


    "Brother Ye, why are these zombies all charging inside without any heed for their lives?" Sheng Jun was greatly shocked.


    "These zombies were originally refined artificially. They are all controlled by people," Ye Yuan said calmly.


    "What? These zombies are all refined artificially? This �� How many lives does this have to slaughter? Could it be that those super Holy Lands all don''t care?" Sheng Jun was utterly shocked by it.


    The number of zombies underground here was probably more than 100 million. To refine so many zombies, wouldn''t it have to kill this many people?


    Just what kind of faction could do it to such a degree?


    "Martial artists under Tier 6 don''t count for anything in the Divine Realm. As long as it''s done a little covertly, gathering this sum was not something hard. I''m just curious, just what kind of force can accomplish this unbeknown to gods and ghosts," Ye Yuan said with a grim expression.


    From the Medicine King Hall''s destruction to various sorts of bizarre incidents happening in the Divine Realm, then to this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array presently, the Divine Realm that was calm on the surface was likely already surging with undercurrents long ago.


    It was just that this faction concealed too deeply. Everyone had yet to become aware of its existence.


    "This �� Then we''re just going to watch them go offer up a sacrifice passively?" Sheng Jun said unresignedly.


    With these many zombies, they could not kill all. After people died, evil qi would coalesce. And this area of extreme yin land was filled with powerful extreme yin qi. These zombies could fuse these two kinds of qi into evil yin qi.


    The corrosive nature of evil yin qi was extremely strong. Using it to corrode array formations was most suitable.


    Even though the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array was an ancient top-tier grand array, along with the passing of time, its power was already greatly discounted.


    Adding in the erosion of these evil yin qi, under the simultaneous attack from the fiendgod within and outside, the grand array was already teetering on the verge of collapse.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It''s already too late! Unless there are still Deity Realm powerhouses in this world, there will be no way to reinforce this Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array. Otherwise, even if we kill finish these zombies, it''s of no help to the matter too. The fiendgod coming into being is an unstoppable trend!"


    Sheng Jun sucked in a breath deeply and could not help becoming worried about the Divine Realm''s situation in the future.


    In the Divine Realm, regarding the descriptions of the fiend race, it merely existed in legends. Only in some ancient records would it occasionally mention the fiend race.


    This stretch of boundless and limitless continent had always been under the rule of the human race and demon race.


    "Legend has it that in the desolate era, the human race and the fiend race once fought an earth-shaking great war. Originally thought that these were merely just legends, didn''t think that they were actually true! If it''s in accordance with how ancient records narrate it, the human race and fiend race are still mortal enemies. Most likely, the human race is really going to plunge into misery and suffering!" Sheng Jun said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The fiend race is not just a legend. They have always existed in the Divine Realm. It''s just that they were not known to people. 50 thousand years ago, there was a fellow who proclaimed to be a Heavenly Fiendgod that came roaring into existence. Unfortunately, he ran into a genius martial artist from the human race and was beaten until he fled with heavy injuries."


    Sheng Jun was taken aback from shock. Only now did he know that the Divine Realm actually still had such secrets.


    It was just that with Ye Yuan''s age, how did he know this kind of secrets? This Ye Yuan really made people unable to fathom!


    "Brother Ye, then are we just going to stare blankly right now? Are we going to wait the fiendgod to come into being?" Sheng Jun said.


    "How can that be? You rest and rehabilitate here for a moment, I''ll go set up the formation!"


    Ye Yuan leaped and started bustling about inside this cave.


    Before long, a large-scale array formation gradually had an elementary form.


    When Sheng Jun saw the elementary form of this array formation, his expression could not help changing slightly, and he asked Wu Siyuan, "Elder Wu, could this array formation that Brother Ye is laying down be the Crimson Afterglow''s undisclosed secret? How can a mere Tier 6 array formation be so complex?"

 839 Asura Confounding Formations True Power!

    Wu Siyuan shook his head blankly and said, "I''ve never seen this Tier 6 array formation before. But this array formation �� gives my heart a feeling of palpitations!"


    Sheng Jun shared the same feeling and said, "Indeed! Although I''m a major realm higher than him, I feel that if I enter this array formation, I''ll probably never come out again! I truly didn''t expect that Brother Ye actually had such high attainments in the Dao of Array Formations!"


    This array formation that Ye Yuan laid down was precisely his pinnacle work in the Formations Path at present, the Asura Confounding Formation!


    Along with the increase in cultivation, Ye Yuan could already fully set up this array formation.


    Back then, when he was still at the Sea Transformation Realm, he blocked the entire Purple Mansion Sect''s attack by relying on this array formation, playing the Purple Mansion Sect''s late-stage Soul Sea experts in the palm of his hands.


    Now, Ye Yuan was already God knows how many times stronger than back then. The array formation set up naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    This array formation was also his greatly killing tool in the Formations Path!


    What Ye Yuan set up back then was merely the Greater Confounding Formation which was not equipped with the functions of a killing formation.


    But now, Ye Yuan was already able to integrate the killing formation inside and could unleash this array formation to the limits!


    As for whether or not it could stop the fiendgod, that was unknown.


    Following the passing of time, the fiendish qi in the cave became increasingly vigorous. That horrifying pressure made everyone have a feeling of wanting to escape.


    On that sacrificial altar in the middle, fiendish qi erupted like a volcano, causing the entire cave to tremble.


    Right then, Ye Yuan finally finished setting the formation. He was hit with exhaustion at this time too.


    This array formation being set up till the end, he expended tremendous physical strength and mental strength too. He consumed several medicinal pills on the spot and started recovering his strength.


    Rumble ��


    An enormous tremor reverberated throughout the entire cave.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan opened both eyes abruptly and said with a solemn expression, "It''s coming!"


    Everyone''s expression became fearful, looking at that sacrificial altar in the center without shifting their eyes.


    Countless black gas spouted out, finally condensing to form a fiendish black shadow!


    "Hahaha �� How many tens of thousands of years has it been! This Seat finally broke free! Damn humans, be prepared to receive this Seat''s wrath! Yii? There are still some small fries here. Didn''t expect that right after coming out, there are people taking the initiative to deliver themselves to the doorstep to become this Seat''s blood feed!"


    The black shadow emitted a low and deep voice, akin to waves of muffled thunder.


    The black shadow actually allowed no explanation, heading straight for Ye Yuan''s direction in a surprise attack!


    Boom!


    A ball of black gas directly smashed onto everyone''s bodies, smashing Ye Yuan''s group of people into a cloud of blood mist!


    "Hahaha �� I absorb! En?"


    The fiendgod was just planning to absorb the mass of blood mist when he suddenly discovered something amiss.


    "Looks like I underestimated this bunch of trash, to actually let this Seat fall for an illusionary array imperceptibly! Hehe, playing hide and seek? This Seat''s mood today is excellent. I''ll accompany you all to play!"


    The fiendgod surveyed the surroundings and started to find the figures of Ye Yuan and the rest.


    In the array formation, everyone had a lingering fear.


    Sheng Jun was somewhat shuddering in retrospect as he said, "Brother Ye, all thanks to your array formation! Otherwise, we''d probably be killed by this fiendgod in one exchange!"


    Ye Yuan said with a grim expression, "Truly didn''t expect that this fiendgod can still preserve such strength after being trapped for several tens of thousands of years by the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array! Just how powerful was he at his peak period?"


    Although everyone avoided the fiendgod''s attack just now by relying on the Asura Confounding Formation, the might of the fiendgod was still deeply imprinted in everyone''s mind.


    "Brother Ye, what should we do now?" Sheng Jun said.


    "In a while, everybody, listen to my arrangement. I''ll manipulate the array formation and continuously expend that fiendgod''s strength �� understood?"


    Ye Yuan carried out arrangements for each person. Borrowing the truth and deception of the array formation could bring to play their strength to the limits.


    Boom!


    The fiendgod demolished an illusion with an attack again.


    Chiii!


    An attack came out from the void, rumbling straight for the fiendgod.


    But the fiendgod just lightly waved and directly wiped out that attack.


    "Not having a physical body is indeed very troublesome. Looks like I still have to seize possession of a human''s body first! That damn Daoist Absolute Heaven, he actually used the Vast Heaven Stele to destroy my physical body!" the fiendgod said slowly.


    The surroundings continuously had Ye Yuan and co.''s attacks transmitting over. But these attacks could not cause any threat to the fiendgod.


    He obliterated these attacks with a wave of his hand.


    Regardless whether was it Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists'' attacks or Phaseless Realm martial artists'' attacks.


    "Surging Floodwaters!"


    After a concentrated series of attacks, a peerlessly powerful attack pierced right through the void, landing heavily on the fiendgod''s main body!


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    The fiendgod gave a miserable cry, his body flying out backward.


    After a round of indiscriminate bombardment, Ye Yuan''s plan finally succeeded!


    "Excellent! I even thought that this guy is invincible. Turns out he will sustain injuries too!"


    "It''s still Lord Black Flood Dragon''s attack that''s powerful. This move, even I''m scared when I see it. The fiendgod suffering this attack, he will be heavily wounded if not dead, right?"


    "Young Lord Ye''s array formation is indeed miraculous, to actually be able to let attacks shuttle through the void and directly attack the fiendgod''s main body."


    The crowd of martial artists was all incredibly excited to see Blackwind''s attack succeed.


    But Ye Yuan said with a grave expression, "It''s still early! If the fiendgod is so easy to deal with, it wouldn''t be a fiendgod! With the strength of a major ancient power, it could only suppress him here too. How can he be so easy to take care of?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when a series of intense quaking sounds echoed. The grand array was actually shaking!


    "Little tras, congratulations! You''ve successfully infuriated this Seat! Even the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array couldn''t trap this Seat. Just a lousy illusionary array, I want to see how many times it can withstand this seat''s attacks!"


    The fiendgod''s voice transmitted into each person''s ears, startling everybody.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The fiendgod went seemingly insane, bombarding the grand array non-stop. And the Asura Confounding Formation started trembling violently under his attacks too.


    "Not good, if we let him carry on attacking like this, the grand array will be breached sooner or later!" Ye Yuan said with a solemn look.


    It was still Ye Yuan''s first time encountering such a troublesome opponent. Even the Asura Confounding Formation could not trap him.


    Luckily, this fiendgod''s strength was already very debilitated from being sealed for too long a time. Or else, he could probably destroy the Asura Confounding Formation with a wave of his hand.


    "What to do, Brother Ye? Once the grand array is breached, we''ll be without any barriers at all! This fiendgod is truly formidable. We �� are probably not his match!"


    Through a round of probing, these martial artists had long seen the fiendgod''s might already.


    Facing the fiendgod head-on, they felt rather fearful just thinking about it.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The Asura Confounding Formation probably can''t be preserved anymore. Since that''s the case, I''ll let him witness the truly formidable aspect of the Asura Confounding Formation!"


    Ye Yuan sent everyone out of the array formation and mustered up all of the essence energy in his body to deploy the array formation!


    All of a sudden, the entire grand array started flashing!


    Above the firmament, countless sword lights actually condensed!


    "What?!" The fiendgod stopped his attacks, incomparably shocked as he looked at the sword lights in the air.

 840 Battling the Fiendgod!

    Within the void, there were countless virtual sword images suspended.


    This was the fifth-stage supreme true intent Ye Yuan displayed by merging his sword intent into the Asura Confounding Formation and borrowing the power of the grand array!


    This Asura Confounding Formation after Ye Yuan improved it, the power of the killing formation was even stronger than the original version!


    Sharp swords hung high above, even someone as powerful as the fiendgod turned pale with fright too.


    "Asura Confounding Formation, Myriad Sword Piercing the Heart! Kill!"


    Ye Yuan roared, countless long swords streaked through countless streams of flowing light in the grand array, rushing towards the all-powerful fiendgod!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan himself did not have such boundless essence energy, but the grand array did!


    In an instant, the Asura Confounding Formation extracted the essence energy within all of the earth essence crystals dry. The power could be imagined!


    The place the fiendgod stood at was immediately blasted to residue by countless streaks of sword light, stirring up clouds of dust.


    "So �� So powerful! Just a Tier 6 grand array, this power �� is also too terrifying, right?" Sheng Jun muttered.


    This scene was too shocking, resulting in him not thinking whether or not the fiendgod was finished off right away, but astonishment at the might of the grand array.


    "Young Lord Ye is mighty! Such a terrifying attack, there''s no way that fiendgod can survive, right?"


    "Hahaha, what bullshit fiendgod, I think it''s nothing more than this! Wasn''t he still finished off all at once!"


    After the shock, the martial artists were all incredibly excited.


    Originally thought that doomsday was arriving, didn''t expect that this fiendgod was merely nothing more than this.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure slowly landed in front of everyone, saying with a serious expression, "Everybody, be on guard. The fiendgod isn''t so easy to be disposed of! Without the grand array''s protection, we''re going to have a direct confrontation with him!"


    Everyone''s excited expressions could not help choking up. Even such a terrifying attack could not kill the fiendgod?


    This �� No way, right?


    Whoosh �� Bang!


    There was a blur before everyone''s eyes. They had yet to recover to their senses when a dark shadow already arrived in front.


    A streak of black light smacked directly onto a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist''s body. He immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist!


    All of this happened too suddenly. Everyone was still half-dubious about Ye Yuan''s words, and the fiendgod actually attacked again!


    Without the grand array''s shielding, a martial artist instantly died on Ye Yuan''s side.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Everyone turned pale with fright and hastily retreated.


    The fiendgod did not have the intention of following up either. He just greedily absorbed that cloud of blood mist.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. The fiendgod''s aura was actually getting strong!


    Without a doubt, that attack earlier proved effective. The fiendgod''s aura was weakened substantially compared to before. But at this time, he was actually in the midst of gradually recovering!


    "This fellow can actually absorb the essence and blood of martial artists to recover strength! Everybody be careful!" Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression.


    If it was like this, Ye Yuan''s side absolutely must not have casualties appear again. Or else, the fiendgod would grow stronger with battle.


    "I-Is this guy a monster? Fully withstood such a terrifying attack and he''s actually completely fine!" Somebody said in despair.


    The current fiendgod was a mass of dark shadow. Only two eyeballs were left in his entire body that could be seen.


    But at this moment, the fiendgod''s pair of eyeballs looked towards Ye Yuan and opened his mouth to say, "A little interesting. A measly little Tier 6 martial artist can actually injure this Seat! However, even Daoist Absolute Heaven couldn''t kill this seat. With just the likes of you, this brat, what can you do to me? All obediently become this seat''s blood feed. This is your honor!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression was grim as he said, "Phaseless Realm martial artists, assist Blackwind to launch attacks. Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists support with coordinated actions by the side. This guy''s speed is peculiar, be careful!"


    Everyone slowly nodded, their faces all had unspeakable solemness. The might of the fiendgod far exceeded their imaginations.


    One had to know, this was still the state after the fiendgod was sealed for countless years!


    "Heh heh, looks like you still won''t give up hope! Forget it, this seat will fulfill your wishes!"


    The fiendgod gave a weird laugh and vanished with a whoosh.


    "Be careful!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly pushed a palm out, pushing away a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist. A black shadow dashed right through the place he stood at.


    Being pushed aside by Ye Yuan, that martial artist finally recovered his senses and involuntarily broke into a cold sweat.


    "M-Many thanks, Young Lord Ye!"


    That martial artist was even kind of stuttering when talking. Just now was really a very close shave. If not for Ye Yuan making a move, his outcome would already be the same as that person from before.


    "Origin Magnetic Field? Couldn''t tell that your tricks are really plentiful!" said the fiendgod, slightly surprised.


    Just now, it was clearly going to succeed in a moment. At the crucial juncture, it was like someone dragged him a little, making his figure drop down abruptly, stagnating that tiny bit. That was how that martial artist barely avoided his attack.


    First was the Asura Confounding Formation, then the Origin Magnetic Field. The fiendgod actually suffered two hidden losses in a row at the hands of a puny little Tier 6 martial artist. This made him rather surprised.


    "It''s actually an Origin Magnetic Field!"


    Hearing the fiendgod''s words, everyone could not help looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    This Crimson Afterglow young lord''s methods were truly inexhaustible!


    With Boundless Realm cultivation, he could actually dance around with an existence like the fiendgod. Truly remarkable.


    If not for Ye Yuan, probably in a single exchange, they all would be completely wiped out by the fiendgod.


    "Lord Fiendgod''s methods are quite a few too! Being suppressed for so countless tens of thousands of years, your strength is actually still so powerful!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh heh, looks like you still have quite a bit of understanding about this seat! That''s right! If this Seat is at my peak, a little finger can pinch you all, this bunch of trash, to death. How could I tolerate you, this brat, to be cocky in front of this seat?"


    "A hero won''t mention past glories. Lord Fiendgod is not a person of this era in the first place, better to sleep eternally in this place!" Ye Yuan''s face fell, killing intent overflowing instantly.


    The fiendgod was slightly stunned when he saw the situation and immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, since this seat came out, then it''s the time of arrival for the doomsday of your human race! You, a measly little Tier 6 martial artist, actually wants to kill this Seat! An utter joke! Don''t you know that this Seat has an undying body?"


    "Little Lord, I, don''t believe that there''s really any undying body in this world! Today, I want to give it a try and see! Blackwind, I''ll coordinate with you with the Origin Magnetic Field, go!"


    "Yes, Master!"


    Under Ye Yuan''s command, Blackwind''s body suddenly expanded several times, waving his claws as he attacked towards the fiendgod.


    The fiendgod was just about to evade when a bizarre forcefield appeared once again, delaying his figure that tiny bit.


    Boom!


    Blackwind''s palm force spat, immediately slamming together with the fiendgod. The two people each retreated several steps!


    "Everybody attack!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s spirits were roused, each wielding a weapon and going forward!


    Ye Yuan interfered with the fiendgod''s traces from time to time with the Origin Magnetic Field, resulting in him being attacked in front and from the rear.


    For a moment, Ye Yuan''s side actually firmly took the upper-hand!


    Especially Blackwind''s attacks that were full of power. Even someone as powerful as the fiendgod was beaten until he screamed in pain too.


    "Damn it! You trash, taking advantage of when this Seat is at the weakest to sneak attack! What capability does that count as?!" howled the fiendgod.

 841 Blinding Saber Ligh

    After the fiendgod came into being, he was supposed to be roaming unhindered in the Divine Realm.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Who knew that when he just came out, he was beaten by a bunch of juniors until he did not have the slightest strength to retaliate, not to mention how aggrieving it was.


    "Stinking brat, you forced me! Fiendgod Transformation!"


    The fiendgod suddenly shouted loudly. A vast and mighty fiendish qi suddenly erupted!


    Ye Yuan''s group of people were caught off guard, being blasted until they scattered in all directions immediately.


    "Puhwark ��"


    This time, it actually directly blasted everyone to heavy injuries!


    "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! To actually force this Seat to use the Fiendgod Transformation, you''re prepared to experience a fate worse than death, right?!" howled the fiendgod.


    At this instant, the fiendgod''s black shadow actually enlarged several times. The fiendish qi emitting off of his body was also vast and magnificent, teeming the entire underground cavern.


    The fiendgod''s aura actually skyrocketed multiple times instantaneously!


    "This �� Why is it like this? The fiendgod''s current strength has likely surpassed Tier 9, right? How can we still fight if it is like this?" Sheng Jun said with a bitter smile.


    What skyrocketed was not just fiendish qi, but also the fiendgod''s strength in itself soared instantly. He actually leaped over and reached Tier 9!


    This sort of breakthrough that did not conform to common sense seriously made people incomparably despaired.


    They already all suffered heavy injuries under that attack from the fiendgod just now. But the fiendgod himself had a huge increase in strength.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "He should have used some kind of method that stimulates potential. After his strength fades away, he''ll probably be even weaker than before! However ��"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone all feel a wave of despair.


    He did not speak, but the meaning in his words was already very clear.


    Tier 9 fiendgod, even if the Holy Lords came, it was a road that led to death as well, let alone them, these people.


    "Punk, you''re indeed quite knowledgeable! Fiendgod Transformation can let this Seat''s strength skyrocket, but it''s merely able to last for around a quarter of an hour''s time! After this period of time, this Seat will be even weaker than before. However �� with you guys, these blood feed around, this Seat will recover as good as new very soon! Hahaha!" The fiendgod laughed wildly.


    Suddenly, the fiendgod put away his smile and swept a glance over everyone''s faces.


    "Who to start with first? Hmm �� You, brat, are the most troublesome. Better start with you first!"


    The fiendgod''s target actually locked right onto Ye Yuan!


    But Blackwind blocked right in front of Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Want to kill Master, you must go through me first!"


    Boom!


    A streak of fiendish qi attacked and actually sent Blackwind flying with one hit. The fiendgod after displaying Fiendgod Transformation was devastatingly powerful!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!


    Too strong!


    Blackwind was one of the strongest one among them. His strength was right on the fringe of entering Tier 9. But he was actually too weak to withstand even a single blow in front of the fiendgod!


    "A little snake dares to be insolent in front of this seat too! If you evolved to become true dragon bloodline, this Seat would have some fear and respect towards you. But you, this half-baked guy, is completely lacking!"


    The fiendgod snorted coldly and slowly walked towards Ye Yuan.


    "Brat, it''s your turn!"


    A mass of fiendish qi meandered out of the fiendgod''s body, heading straight for Ye Yuan. He actually wanted to capture him directly.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. Leaping, he was about to evade.


    The fiendgod gave a cold laugh and said, "Want to escape? How can it be that easy?!"


    That fiendish qi extended unbelievably swiftly and actually caught up to Ye Yuan in an instant, intertwining him up tightly.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan fell heavily onto the ground.


    All the martial artists turned their heads over, unable to bear to look at this scene.


    A genius like Ye Yuan was destined to radiate splendor in the Divine Realm, but he did not expect that he was actually going to die today at the fiendgod''s hands!


    "Hahaha, brat, you seem to be rather extraordinary. Killing you is such a shame. Become this Seat''s fiend servant!"


    As he was talking, a trace of the fiendgod''s fiendish sense invaded the Ye Yuan lying on the ground.


    Then in the next instant, the fiendgod let out a terrified cry.


    "Argh �� It''s actually an essence fire clone! Damn brat, I''m going to kill you!" The fiendgod howled like a pig getting slaughtered, reverberating throughout the entire cave.


    Everyone had yet to understand what was going on when suddenly, they discovered that Ye Yuan''s entire person started burning. Fierce flames traced along the fiendish qi and instantly besieged the fiendgod''s main body!


    In a wink, the fiendgod actually caught on fire all over!


    "Fiery, burn him to death!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice transmitted out from the void bizarrely, revealing his figure once more.


    Turns out that the Ye Yuan caught by the fiendgod earlier was actually just one of Fiery''s clones!


    Being burned by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, the fiendgod let out wretched wails shrilly.


    If it were ordinary essence fires, even if it was a Tier 9 essence fire, it might not cause any damage to the fiendgod.


    But the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame purified all things on earth. Dealing with the fiendgod, this kind of demonic thing, was the most effective!


    But Ye Yuan knew that Fiery''s level was still a little low and could not cause any substantial injury to the fiendgod at all.


    This action, it was only in order to buy time. Wait until after the Fiendgod Transformation''s power, it would be the fiendgod''s hour of doom!


    "ARGH! Devilflame, come out for me!"


    All of a sudden, a black-colored flame actually erupted on the fiendgod''s body, and it started to confront the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!


    The grade of this devilflame was clearly a great deal higher. Very soon, it repelled the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame in its entirety.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. This devilflame''s degree of troublesomeness was outside of his expectations still.


    In order to deal with the fiendgod, he could be said to have used all of his trump cards. It actually could not even accomplish delaying for a short while!


    The fiendgod''s pair of eyes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, saying with a furious roar, "Brat, forcing this seat to such an extent, you can be sufficiently proud! Now, go to hell!"


    With this, Ye Yuan thoroughly infuriated the fiendgod. He decided to kill Ye Yuan straight away.


    The fiendgod came in with a howl, instantly arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    Facing the fiendgod under the state of Tier 9, Ye Yuan was truly at the end of his rope at this moment.


    "I didn''t think that this fiendgod is actually so powerful. Could it be that I �� can only reach this step?" Ye Yuan shut his eyes, filled with unwillingness as he thought.


    Right at the critical moment, a powerful to the extreme saber light tore right through the void. That blinding saber light lit up the entire underground cavern with a glaring light!


    The power of this saber made all the martial artists feel asphyxiated.


    Boom!


    The saber light bombarded directly onto the fiendgod''s main body without deviation!


    "ARGHHH!"


    The fiendgod gave a miserable cry, flying out backward immediately. That boundless fiendish qi actually dissipated a great deal instantly. Furthermore, it gradually showed a trend of weakening.


    Clearly, this cut caused immense injuries to the fiendgod, resulting in his fiendish qi to weaken substantially.


    The crowd of martial artists was struck dumb with amazement looking at this scene. The fiendgod who used Fiendgod Transformation was a true-blue Tier 9 powerhouse!


    What kind of cut was this, to actually be able to chop him until like this?


    Crack �� Crack ��


    Everyone looked over in the direction the saber light came from and discovered a skeleton currently walking over here step by step.


    Everyone''s faces changed. They all had an impression of this skeleton. Wasn''t this that skeleton that was in a stalemate with Ye Yuan earlier?


    The skeleton carried a saber, slowly walked in front of the fiendgod step by step, and said coolly, "Jia Lan, long time no see!"First it was surpassed, then reached. Later on it will be true-blue Tier 9. We are as confused as you guys tooFiend counterpart of divine sense

 842 Unexpected Turn of Events Again!

    "Jia Lan, long time no see!"


    The skeleton''s words actually had some hint of old friends meeting again.


    "You �� You''re Tyrannical Saber, Xing Aotian! You actually haven''t died yet!" In the fiendgod''s words, leaked out thick astonishment.


    "Dead, long dead! It''s just that you''re not dead, so how can I dare to die completely? Leaving behind a wisp of remnant soul was for the sake of today," the skeleton said coolly.


    The fiendish qi on the fiendgod''s body became increasingly thinner. Clearly, that cut earlier caused tremendous injury to him.


    When he heard that, the fiendgod said in a livid rage, "You damn ghost, not being peaceful even after dying! But so what? That cut earlier was still less than one in ten thousand of your heyday! What can you do to me? Even Absolute Heaven couldn''t kill me, just like the likes of you?"


    On the skeleton''s face was forever that dead person expression. There naturally would not be any changes.


    But he turned to Ye Yuan and said calmly, "Of course I know that I can''t kill you. But Absolute Heaven''s will, there''s bound to be someone who inherits it. If you want to bring disaster upon the human race, it probably won''t be that easy to accomplish!"


    The fiendgod looked at the skeleton, and glanced at Ye Yuan again, suddenly letting out a roaring laugh as he said, "You aren''t talking about this boy, right? He''s indeed quite capable, but he''s far too lacking compared to Absolute Heaven! Give him another thousand years, and he also can''t reach Absolute Heaven''s height. Furthermore, do you think that I will give him a thousand year''s time to grow?"


    The skeleton said indifferently, "Karma is all destined. I''ve already returned to dust. This is no longer something I can be worried about. As for what extent he can grow to, it will depend on him."


    He turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Young man, you''ve done very well, far exceeded my expectations. This dignified self has nothing valuable on me. With these countless years, what I''ve learned during my lifetime is already forgotten for the most part as well. These remaining few comprehensions will be imparted to you then."


    Finished talking, the skeleton extended a finger and tapped on Ye Yuan''s glabella.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body shuddered, many information instantly appearing in his head. Seeing this information, Ye Yuan was unbelievably shocked, because this information was none other than precisely the divine inscriptions that Ye Yuan were very familiar with!


    Except, these divine inscriptions, Ye Yuan was not familiar with them. There was actually not one duplicate with the ones Father imparted him!


    But this Tyrannical Saber Xing Aotian''s divine inscriptions were not many; there were only a scanty few several dozen words.


    He previously said that his memories before his death were already incomplete, it was most likely this reason.


    "Young man, the matters hereafter will be handed to you!" After saying this sentence, the skeleton no longer made a sound.


    A peerless powerhouse of his generation finally had even this final strand of consciousness in this world dissipate away.


    These countless years, what was frittered away was not just Fiendgod Jia Lan''s strength, but also depleted Xing Aotian''s residual thought.


    Until today, he was already like a dying lamp without oil. Otherwise, there was no way he would not have any movements at all with people secretly laying down this sacrificial altar forces.


    Presumably, he also knew that Jia Lan coming into being was already unstoppable. Hence, he held back a burst of energy to leave behind this final cut, in order to severely wound Jia Lan.


    However, Ye Yuan judged that Xing Aotian should still have the ability to unleash a saber cut. Except, this cut did not have great significance to Jia Lan.


    Coincidentally, he ran into the Vast Heaven Stele''s successor here.


    In the end, he chose to impart the divine inscriptions in this final trace of residual thought to Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    The long saber in the skeleton''s hand fell to the ground. His skeleton frame also fell apart thoroughly, without even a trace of essence energy on it anymore.


    Ye Yuan revealed a complicated expression but was filled with great respect towards Xing Aotian.


    Even though it was just two encounters of fate, Xing Aotian''s pride and loyalty left a deep impression on him.


    A trace of residual thought guarded the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array for several tens of thousands of years. This persistence and unswerving will were not what the average person could have.


    And all of his actions were for the sake of the human race''s righteous cause!


    Ye Yuan knelt on the ground and gave a kowtow to Xing Aotian''s bone remains most respectfully, saying deferentially, "Senior, have a safe trip! Many thanks to Senior''s grace of teaching. What Senior has yet to accomplish, let Ye Yuan finish it!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan lightly formed an incantation with his hand and put away Xing Aotian''s bone remains.


    Finished doing these, Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Jia Lan and said icily, "Fiendgod Jia Lan, right? I know that I can''t kill you now, but the taste of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, you''ve sampled it too! I''m going to seal you now and let Fiery burn you every hour every minute! There will come a day when I''ll utterly burn you into nothingness!"


    Jia Lan suffered Xing Aotian''s blow, at this time, the fiendish qi on his body was very faint, and he did not have the ability to resist Ye Yuan''s sealing at all anymore.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Jia Lan cried out shrilly, "Brat, you dare to seal this Seat? Do you know what kind of existence this seat is? Let me tell you ��"


    "Huhu, do you think I dare or not?" Ye Yuan smiled coldly, but his hands already started to cast and lay down the formation.


    "Don''t, don''t! Young man, as long as you can let me go, we can become sworn brothers! I can let you possess unbelievably powerful strength. In the future, this Divine Realm, if there''s half for me, there will be half for you!"


    Jia Lan was finally afraid. The proud fiendgod actually lowered his noble head to plead for mercy from Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not pay any attention and was still setting up the formation and casting spells.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Right at this moment, all the hair on Ye Yuan''s body stood on its end. An immense sense of danger hit him.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan raised his speed to the limits, fleeing from the area just now.


    Boom!


    The region Ye Yuan was standing at previously was blasted until dirt scattered everywhere at this time.


    "Tsk tsk, this brat indeed has some skill, to actually be so vigilant."


    "We expended such a huge effort before releasing Lord Jia Lan. How can we allow you to seal him again?"


    Two black-clothed people appeared in front of Jia Lan. They were precisely those two Holy Followers!


    After the two of them landed, they turned to Jia Lan and saluted as they said, "Congratulations to Lord Jia Lan for descending upon the human world anew!"


    "Hahaha! Good! Very good! Turns out that it''s you two who aided this seat to break the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array. However �� why did you take so long to come?" Jia Lan''s tone suddenly changed as he said in a solemn voice.


    Those two Holy Followers hurriedly said, "Lord Jia Lan, forgive our sins. The two of us left in order to prepare for Lord Jia Lan''s blood feed."


    One of the black-clothed Holy Followers casually waved a hand. A bunch of martial artists appeared in front of everyone. They were precisely Wei Cheng and the others who had already left.


    Wei Cheng''s and the others'' dantians were sealed presently, unable to use even a trace of essence energy. They were like lambs awaiting slaughter.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his expression could not help changing greatly.


    If Jia Lan absorbed them as blood feed, he would probably soar greatly in strength immediately.


    The moment Jia Lan heard, he was immediately overjoyed. The black qi on his body directly extended out, engulfing a dozen over martial artists right away.


    "Ahh �� Help! Young Lord Ye, help!"


    That group of martial artists let out shrill cries and were actually begging Ye Yuan for help.


    But those two black-clothed men, their strengths were clearly very formidable. Even Blackwind might not be a match either, let alone him.


    Gulp �� Gulp ��


    The fiendgod seemed to be digesting. Very soon, those dozen over martial artists fell silent ��

 843 Seizing Possession Again?

    "Hahaha! Boy, didn''t you want to seal me? Bring it on!"


    After devouring a dozen over martial artists all at once, Jia Lan''s aura recovered considerably in no time.


    Ye Yuan had a solemn look. He had a feeling of shooting himself in the foot.


    He originally thought that bringing more people in would mean he had more helpers. He did not expect that they actually all became Jia Lan''s blood feed in the end, boosting the enemy''s strength instead.


    "Wei Cheng, you really are a pig! We went all out before scarcely beating the fiendgod to heavy injuries. You bunch of idiots actually helped him recover so much in a short while!" Sheng Jun seriously could not hold it in anymore and let loose a torrent of abuse.


    Wei Cheng had his dantian sealed currently. His hands and legs were restricted too, completely unable to move.


    He did not take in Sheng Jun''s cursing at all. His entire person was currently trembling, a look of despair showed in his eyes once more.


    Earlier, the scene of Jia Lan gobbling up the rest, the shock it gave him was too intense.


    At the thought of himself about to become a meal in this fiendgod''s stomach, Wei Cheng''s collapsed internally.


    "L-Lord Fienggod, I �� I''m willing to become a dog of yours! I beg you �� beg you not to kill me!" Wei Cheng struggled, kneeling down towards Jia Lan.


    Seeing this scene, Sheng Jun was utterly speechless. He knew that the scolding just now was completely playing music to a pig.


    He seriously could not figure out how this kind of spineless moron was selected to become the Young Lord by the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land.


    "Oh? You want to serve me as your master?" Jia Lan slowly came in front of Wei Cheng.


    Wei Cheng sweat profusely and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Lord Fiendgod, I''m willing to serve you as my master! As long as you don''t kill me, you can make me do anything!"


    "Wei Cheng, you''re the Young Lord selected personally by the Holy Lord! What kind of price did the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land expended in order to groom you?! You actually dare betray the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land now!" shouted a Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s elder. He reproached Wei Cheng with boundless rage.


    But Wei Cheng said without any shame, "Fine birds select their roosts! Lord Fiendgod is an existence who''s going to unify the Divine Realm! What difference is there in me following Lord Fiendgod and being at the Cloud Watchtower Holy Land?"


    "You!" That elder was angered by Wei Cheng''s shamelessness until he shook all over.


    But his essence energy was sealed and completely could not do anything to Wei Cheng.


    "Hahaha, good! Good that you have this heart. I''ll give you an opportunity! Capture this punk for me, and I''ll naturally take you in to be my fiend servant!" Jia Lan said with a big laugh.


    Wei Cheng was overjoyed and kowtowed to Jia Lan fervently as he said, "Thank you, Lord Fiendgod! Thank you, Lord Fiendgod!"


    "Remove the seal on his body! Jia Lan said to the two Holy Followers.


    The two Holy Followers nodded their heads to acknowledge his instruction and cast a spell to remove the seal on Wei Cheng''s body.


    Recovering his freedom, Wei Cheng''s face made people abhor even more. He slowly arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said with a smug look, "Ye Yuan, didn''t expect it, right? You finally still landed in my hands! Today, I''ll make you die very horribly! Without that black flood dragon''s help, I see how you still swagger before others!"


    Prior to this, Blackwind was also wounded considerably under Jia Lan''s blow.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    At this time, there were another two Holy Followers glaring like ravening tigers by the side. They would not give him the opportunity to make a move at all.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan had to face the Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment Wei Cheng all alone.


    "Master!"


    As the servant, Blackwind obviously could not passively watch Ye Yuan get captured.


    "Don''t come over! Dealing with this kind of shameless guy, it''s enough by myself!" Ye Yuan said very disdainfully.


    "Hahaha, truly shameless boasting! I want to see how you''ll deal with me! Wei Cheng laughed wildly and said.


    "Humph! Wouldn''t you know if you come to try it out yourself?!" Ye Yuan said scornfully.


    "Reckless, blind thing! Prepare to die!"


    Wei Cheng was fiercely triggered by Ye Yuan''s eyes. Ye Yuan''s talent and capabilities made him jealous until he wanted to go crazy.


    With the formidable power of Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Wei Cheng attacked towards Ye Yuan.


    Wei Cheng''s strength could not be said to not be strong. Unleashing it in full power at this time, it actually gave people a feeling of peerlessness.


    "Fiery!"


    Boom!


    What made everyone''s jaws drop was that this powerful blow of Wei Cheng''s had yet to touch Ye Yuan and he actually flew out backward.


    An intense explosion sound rang out of the void in front of Wei Cheng, blasting him flying immediately.


    When everyone came back to their senses, there was already an additional youth beside Ye Yuan. How could it be but Fiery?"


    All along, Fiery was always one of Ye Yuan''s ace in the hole. Unless forced to, Ye Yuan would not expose Fiery in front of people.


    But today''s situation was too difficult to handle. Ye Yuan also had no choice but to let out Fiery''s main body.


    Fiery had been cultivating in the Vast Heaven Pagoda all along and had long broken through to Tier 7. Currently, he was already a middle-stage Tier 7 essence fire.


    Adding in the fire controlling art Ye Yuan imparted, Fiery''s combat power was right on the brink of late-stage Tier 7.


    Just now, Fiery suddenly sneak attacked Wei Cheng. Caught unprepared, Wei Cheng was directly blasted flying out.


    Wei Cheng crawled to his feet with a grunt and was just about to hurl all kinds of abuse when a figure already arrived in front of him. It was precisely Ye Yuan!


    What Ye Yuan wanted was this effect. How could he give him the chance to catch his breath?


    His and Fiery''s cultivation realms both could not compare with Wei Cheng''s. Only by seizing the initiative could there be chances of victory.


    Although Wei Cheng''s cultivation realm was high, his fleshy body was more than a grade lower than Ye Yuan''s!


    Bang!


    A firm and solid punch smashed right onto Wei Cheng''s body. If not for Wei Cheng''s protective essence energy being too strong, this punch would absolutely blow up his fleshy body!


    Even so, he was still smashed flying out by Ye Yuan.


    "Detonate!"


    Fiery was long awaiting eagerly for battle already. Controlling the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame behind Wei Cheng, it was another violent explosion!


    Wei Cheng''s figure had yet to retreat a few steps when he was actually blasted back to Ye Yuan''s side.


    "Fiery, catch well!"


    Another sturdy punch smashed Wei Cheng toward Fiery.


    Fiery''s figure appeared behind Wei Cheng again bizarrely. Throwing out his palm, it was another intense explosion.


    Just like this, Wei Cheng was treated as a human sandbag by Ye Yuan, beating back and forth non-stop. It was incredibly wretchful.


    Seeing this odd scene, everyone was staring wide-eyed, their mouths agape.


    Was Ye Yuan really a Boundless Realm martial artist? This kind of strength was simply too heaven-defying!


    "That �� That youth is an �� essence fire! My God! Brother Ye actually has a Tier 7 essence fire that gave birth to a primordial spirit! This kind of lucky encounter is simply heaven-defying!" Sheng Jun was long blank from staring.


    "Young Lord is absolutely a person with a great destiny. I truly didn''t expect that he actually still has such a trump card!'' Wu Siyuan muttered under his breath too.


    "This boy �� Just what origins does he have? His trump cards follow one after another, simply without an end! Not only does he possess a Tier 7 primordial spirit, true dragon body, fifth-stage supreme true intent �� However, it''s all too perfect to be my new fleshy body! Heh heh."


    The corners of Jia Lan''s mouth smiled strangely, and he vanished with a whoosh!


    Ye Yuan and Wei Cheng were in the midst of fierce fighting. Suddenly, he felt his eyes blur. A stream of black qi tunneled right into his body.


    Ye Yuan''s body turned stiff abruptly, while Wei Cheng''s body directly flew out far away.

 844 Fleeing in Defea

    "Brother Ye!"


    "Young Lord!"


    "Big Brother!"


    Everyone was greatly shocked when they saw this scene.


    The current Ye Yuan was swathed by a cloud of black qi all over his body, his entire person seemingly controlled by something, frozen stiff there.


    "This brat is indeed rather peculiar. To be selected by Lord Jia Lan as his new fleshy body, it''s his honor too," said a Holy Follower.


    "En, this brat''s fleshy body realm is even higher than his essence energy cultivation realm. Furthermore, his methods emerge in endless streams; it is indeed conforming to Lord Jia Lan''s requirement. It''s just that his cultivation realm is a little too low," the other Holy Follower said.


    "Cultivation realm is not an issue to Lord Jia Lan. Right now, Lord Jia Lan has already broken free and found a suitable fleshy body too. In a few years'' time, he''ll recover to his peak state."


    The two people did not seem to be surprised about Jia Lan choosing Ye Yuan to be his new fleshy body. They all saw Ye Yuan''s battle earlier. He was indeed most suited for Jia Lan.


    When the group of martial artists saw this scene, their eyes were filled with despair.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yuan already became their backbone.


    Although Ye Yuan''s cultivation was the lowest among them, his means emerged ceaselessly. Even such a powerful existence like Jia Lan suffered losses at his hands repeatedly.


    Without any doubt, if there was anyone able to help them defeat the fiendgod, that was only Ye Yuan!


    But now, Ye Yuan was actually seized to be possessed!


    "It''s over! This time, it''s utterly over!"


    Sheng Jun shut his eyes painfully. Regarding what was about to happen next, he already did not need to think anymore.


    But right then, a cloud of black qi suddenly flew out from within Ye Yuan''s body.


    "AHH! Soul Suppressing Pearl! It''s actually the Soul Suppressing Pearl! How can this brat have such a thing?!"


    The fiendgod shrieked as if seeing something terrifying.


    Exceeding everyone''s expectations, Jia Lan''s current state was actually even weaker than before he seized possession. Clearly, he suffered heavy injuries once more during this period of time that he was seizing possession!


    With a swoosh, Jia Lan actually tunneled into Wei Cheng''s body directly.


    Just a slight struggle for a short while and Wei Cheng did not move anymore.


    Everyone did not expect that Jia Lan actually chose Wei Cheng as the target for possession in the end.


    The pitiful Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s Young Lord was obliterated by Fiendgod Jia Lan just like that.


    He abruptly raised his head, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was actually filled with fear!


    A fiendgod of his generation actually experiencing fear towards Ye Yuan!


    And currently, Ye Yuan actually fell into a slumber after Jia Lan''s possession.


    All of this happened too suddenly. Everyone had not figured out what on earth happened. But one thing was certain, Jia Lan failed to take possession of Ye Yuan!


    The current Wei Cheng was already no longer Wei Cheng; it was Fiendgod Jia Lan.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan who had fallen into a slumber with an expression as dark as water and a conflicted look.


    Suddenly, he released powerful fiendish qi once more, directly devouring all of the several dozen martial artists that those two holy followers controlled!


    But this time, his recovery was not as quick as last time.


    "Damn it! Being severely wounded by the Soul Suppressing Pearl, wanting to recover my strength this time will have to expend even more effort! Luckily, that brat is unable to control the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Otherwise, I would really fail miserably at a simple task this time! The two of you, kill this brat for me! This boy has the Soul Suppressing Pearl. We absolutely can''t let him walk out alive!"


    Jia Lan''s words were said to the two Holy Followers.


    Those two holy followers clearly had baffled looks too and did not know what happened at all.


    Although they did not know what the Soul Suppressing Pearl was, to be able to severely wound Fiendgod Jia Lan, it was clearly some incredible thing.


    Hearing Jia Lan''s order, the two people''s hearts went cold.


    Ye Yuan could actually even seriously injure Jia Lan. The two of them were really quite fearful now.


    "Don''t worry, that boy''s divine soul suffered a serious injury from me just now and has already thoroughly fallen unconscious, without any strength to retaliate anymore. Now is precisely the opportune moment to kill him!" Jia Lan also urged when he saw that the two people were somewhat hesitant.


    Hearing Jia Lan''s words, the two people calmed down slightly in their hearts. Their figures moved and attacked Ye Yuan.


    "Don''t think about harming Master!"


    Even though Blackwind was already an arrow at the end of its flight, he used the last bit of strength at this time too, wanting to stop the two.


    But these two people''s strengths were too powerful. The already severely injured Blackwind was clearly not the duo''s match.


    Blackwind knew that these two people were very powerful and was already prepared to die.


    But right then, an enormous pagoda dropped from the sky, directly crushing the two holy followers into pancakes with a momentum as swift as a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering the ears!


    When Blackwind saw the situation, he was pleasantly surprised as he said, "Lord Throne! Many thanks to Lord Throne for lending a helping hand!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    A black-robed person appeared in front of everyone. Who could it be if not Long Teng?


    Looking at this huge pagoda that suddenly appeared, Jia Lan''s eyes became wide saucers!


    "Vast Heaven Stele! It''s the aura of the Vast Heaven Stele! This �� This ��"


    Jia Lan felt like his brain was a little lacking to comprehend it. He never would have thought that on the first day he came out of the Unparalleled Ancient Fiend Sealing Grand Array, not only was he severely wounded by the legendary Soul Suppressing Pearl, he even saw the Vast Heaven Stele which suppressed him back then!


    Even though he had never seen before this Vast Heaven Pagoda in front of him, the Vast Heaven Stele''s aura, he recognized it at a glance.


    "Fiendgod Jia Lan, right? To actually dare have designs on Ye Yuan. Today, I''ll use this Vast Heaven Pagoda to kill you!" Long Teng''s cold voice transmitted out from the black robes.


    Jia Lan''s expression changed several times, his figure abruptly burst out, and actually ran frantically over towards the entrance of the cave, virtually vanishing from everyone''s sights in a blink of an eye.


    After Jia Lan left, the Long Teng within the black robes also slightly spat a mouthful of turbid air, seemingly breathing out a sigh of relief.


    This series of unforeseen events happened too abruptly, making it too much for Sheng Jun and Wu Siyuan they all to take in.


    Until now, they also had not figured out what was going on.


    But this black-robed person in front of them saving them was an indisputable fact.


    Sheng Jun led the remaining few people, hurriedly came forward to give a bow to Long Teng, and said, "Many thanks for Senior''s life-saving grace! Please accept a bow from Sheng Jun!"


    "En, the events that happened here today, you all had best forget all of it. Otherwise �� bear the consequences yourself!" Long Teng said coldly.


    Sheng Jun and the others, their hearts went cold. He hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Senior. Even if I die, this Junior won''t say a single word!"


    "Alright, you guys can go already," Long Teng said indifferently.


    Sheng Jun was stunned and said somewhat hesitantly, "Then Brother Ye he ��"


    "Ye Yuan naturally have this old man to keep an eye on. You guys just leave!"


    Long Teng already said it until like this, Sheng Jun they all naturally did not dare to defy. Giving another bow to Long Teng, they left.


    Even though they were unclear about the origins of this black-robed person, his relationship with Ye Yuan was clearly very close. With such a powerful existence like this guarding, Ye Yuan should be fine.


    But Sheng Jun looked at his group of people and also had a bitter look.


    When coming in, it was in a mighty formation of over a hundred people. Now, there was only around 10 left. The losses actually exceeded 90%.


    But he also knew that if not for Ye Yuan, they would probably be completely wiped out long ago.

 845 Life and Death Uncertain

    "Cough, cough, cough ��"


    After everyone left the underground cave, Long Teng suddenly started coughing violently.


    Blackwind''s expression changed, and he said, "Lord Throne, you ��"


    Long Teng waved his hand and gasped for air as he said, "Forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda greatly damaged my vitality. If that Fiendgod Jia Lan didn''t leave, I would really be helpless against him."


    Turns out that earlier, Long Teng cutting down the two Holy Followers with the momentum of a thunderbolt was just for the sake of scaring away Jia Lan.


    And he himself merely just had the power of one attack. The composure from before was all feigned.


    Blackwind still found it odd previously. Since Long Teng had such formidable strength, why didn''t he come out earlier?


    Looks like, deploying this Vast Heaven Pagoda was also an immense burden on Long Teng.


    "Lord Throne, is Master �� okay?" Looking at the unconscious Ye Yuan, Blackwind said worriedly.


    Long Teng''s brows furrowed and he shook his head and said, "I can''t tell either. Maybe he can wake up, maybe �� he''ll never wake up again. Sigh, earlier, Fiendgod Jia Lan''s actions were too swift. Even I didn''t react to it as well. Jia Lan''s fiendish sense was too powerful, virtually tearing Ye Yuan''s divine soul into shreds instantly."


    Blackwind''s expression changed as he said, "What? His divine soul was torn into shreds? Doesn''t that mean that Master is already a dead man now?"


    Long Teng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Logically speaking, it''s indeed so! But I don''t know why, Ye Yuan''s torn up divine soul did not dissipate, but it retained a hint of lifeforce without extinguishing. That Jia Lan also said before previously, Ye Yuan obtained a Soul Suppressing Pearl. Looks like it''s some incredible treasure. Perhaps that Soul Suppressing Pearl really can bring Ye Yuan back to life, who knows."


    Talking until here, he was secretly alarmed too.


    From the Endless World to the Divine Realm, Long Teng already followed Ye Yuan for a very long time and had always been observing Ye Yuan in the dark.


    He thought he already knew Ye Yuan like the back of his palm. But looking at it now, Ye Yuan actually still had many secrets on him which he did not know.


    Long Teng boasted of having extensive knowledge and experience, but this whatever Soul Suppressing Pearl, it was still his first time hearing of it.


    A thing which even Fiendgod Jia Lan was extremely fearful of was bound to not be an ordinary item.


    "Then �� when will Master wake up?" Blackwind calmed down slightly in his heart, but he still asked worriedly.


    "Now, that is uncertain. Maybe three days, maybe a month, maybe �� he''ll never wake up again. But Ye Yuan is a person possessing great destiny. He shouldn''t die young. This place should already have no dangers. You keep guard over him," Long Teng heaved a sigh and said.


    Finished talking, Long Teng leaped, and entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, while the Vast Heaven Pagoda became small once more and enter inside Ye Yuan''s body.


    ...


    In a wink, two months passed. From the White Valiant Region''s seven great Holy Lands, there were six Young Lords who perished in the boneyard. This caused a massive upheaval in the White Valiant Region.


    Through the Soaring Rainbow Holy Land and the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, two great Holy Lands'' exaggeration, the boneyard already became the White Valiant Region''s restricted area. Nobody dared to step foot in it anymore.


    In fact, the one who suffered the greatest loss was probably the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Tu You finally managed to find a successor. Now, his life and death were uncertain. This was a tremendous blow to him.


    Two months without news, clearly, hope for Ye Yuan to return alive was already very bleak.


    Tu You already did not have many good years left. This period of time, he could be said to pass each day as if it were a year. Every day was spent in the midst of torment.


    On this day, he seriously could not sit still anymore and finally went to get Chen Qi.


    "Chen Qin, I plan on making a trip to the boneyard to investigate what''s going on! Even though Wu Siyuan repeatedly said that I can''t go down, not going to take a look at Ye Yuan''s fate, I still can''t set my mind at ease," Tu You said.


    Chen Qin''s face revealed a complicated expression. About Tu You''s condition, he saw it clearly too, but he was at a loss on what to do.


    These two months, Tu You''s entire person aged considerably again. At this rate, Chen Qin reckoned that it would be very hard for Tu You to even make it through next year.


    Chen Qin took it into his sights, was anxious in his heart, but could not do anything at all.


    "Holy Lord, Wu Siyuan said before, there''s a senior with unfathomable strength guarding Ye Yuan. It should be fine, right? He exhorted over and over again, that Senior forbade people from going to the boneyard. Holy Lord going there, what if you offend him? What to do then?" Chen Qin said.


    "I don''t care anymore! At most, just kill me and be done with it! This body of mine already can''t last for much longer. Finally managed to find Ye Yuan, this fine sapling, I''m not reconciled to it!" Tu You said.


    Chen Qi was helpless and could only say, "Holy Lord, I''ll go! This Crimson Afterglow Holy Land still needs Holy Lord to take charge of the overall situation!"


    But Tu You said firmly, "No, this time, I''ll go personally! With my current condition, I can''t last for much longer anymore. If I die, then I die, no big deal. After I''m gone, this Crimson Afterglow Holy Land will temporarily be administered by you! Understood?"


    "Holy Lord!" Chen Qin said anxiously.


    Tu You waved a hand and said, "My will is set, no need to say anymore!"


    Finished talking, Tu You prepared to get up and leave.


    Right at this time, a voice transmitted throughout the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    "Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s members listen up! I limit you all to hand over Ye Yuan within ten breaths of time! Otherwise, kill without mercy!"


    Tu You and Chen Qin exchanged glances, both seeing the serious looks in the other party''s eyes.


    "The person outside is clearly threatening us, making no attempt to conceal his strength in the slightest! The arrival''s strength is so strong, likely �� Third Level Dao Profound strength!" Tu You said solemnly.


    Chen Qin frowned and said, "When did Ye Yuan provoke such a powerful enemy? This kind of adversary, our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land isn''t a match at all! Holy Lord, what should we do?"


    "Ten!" The powerhouse outside already started counting down.


    Tu You looked up and heaved a long sigh as he said, "Could it be that the heaven wants my Crimson Afterglow dead?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Holy Lord, we''d better go out and take a look first. Perhaps �� there''s still room for maneuver." Chen Qin said.


    Tu You nodded slightly and said, "There''s only this as well!"


    Facing such an expert, the two people did not dare to dawdle. This time, Tu You personally took the field.


    Tu You flew into the air, but he discovered that the enemy only had two people. He slightly breathed out a sigh in relief inwardly too.


    One was a middle-aged man. This person''s strength was unfathomable, it was that Third Level Dao Profound powerhouse, while the other was a young man, also Ninth Level Phaseless Realm!


    "I wonder how did Ye Yuan offend milords, I''ll offer an apology on his behalf to you gentlemen, is that good?"


    Tu You this Dao Profound Realm expert already lowered his attitude very low.


    A large group of martial artists already gathered outside at this time. Each and every one with an appearance as if facing a great enemy.


    But when they saw Tu You, they were stupefied.


    "Isn''t that the Holy Lord? He �� Why is he like this?"


    "No way, right? That old man at the end of his life is really Holy Lord Tu You? This �� How is this possible?"


    "Turns out the rumours were true! Even though Holy Lord Tu You is still around, he �� is already not far from passing away while in meditation."


    When the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s martial artists saw Tu You, they all did not dare to believe their own eyes.


    However, that young man did not care so much. He just nonchalantly said one sentence, "Not good!"

 846 Overbearing Attitude

    "Zhou Yu, what are you still stoning there for? Continue counting down. After ten breaths, if I don''t see Ye Yuan, you all will have to be buried with him! No, wait, another breath of time passed just now, it should be eight breaths," the young man said coldly.


    This young man was none other than precisely the Zhou Yan who came all the way here!


    Zhou Yan''s attitude was overbearing right now, not giving Tu You a chance to speak at all.


    His objective was very simple, that was in order to capture Ye Yuan!


    Tu You''s expression was very ugly. His attitude was already placed subserviently, but the other party did not go for it in the slightest.


    His appearance clearly already utterly shattered the false impression that he constructed for many years. But right now was already the Crimson Afterglow''s most critical moment, Tu You could not care that much anymore.


    Tu You gritted his teeth and said, "Not hiding from this Little Brother, but Ye Yuan isn''t in the Holy Land at the moment."


    "Seven!" Zhou Yu still counted down unhurriedly.


    Zhou Yan darted Tu You an indifferent glance and said with a cold smile, "Holy Land? A First Level Dao Profound on the verge of death also dares to call this place a Holy Land? Heh heh, whether he''s here or not, I don''t care. I only know that he is your place''s young lord. Finding you guys is definitely not wrong! Also, little brother is not what you can call."


    Tu You''s face fell, angered by Zhou Yan until his entire body trembled.


    This Zhou Yan was completely unreasonable. Ye Yuan''s life and death was uncertain right now, where on earth would he go to find Ye Yuan?


    Even if Ye Yuan were really here, he would not hand Ye Yuan over either!


    But this Zhou Yan was too unbridled, thinking nothing of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land at all.


    "Pushing others too far! Do you think that by bringing a Third Level Dao Profound expert here, this Emperor will really be scared of you? Humph! We won''t hand Ye Yuan over. If you really want to pester unreasonably, this old man will cut you down right here even if I risk my life too!" Zhou Yan was clearly not giving Crimson Afterglow a way out. Tu You finally exploded.


    Although he was already an expiring lamp without oil at present, using all of his power, cutting down a Phaseless Realm martial artist was still achievable, even if the other party brought along a Third Level Dao Profound Realm powerhouse!


    Zhou Yan raised his eyebrow slightly and gave Tu You a disdainful look as he laughed, "Oh? With just the likes of you, an old fellow halfway buried into the dirt, you dare to talk drivel too? Huhu, fine, this young master will give you this opportunity! If you can touch me even a little, what''s the harm if sparing you all?"


    Tu You''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Are you challenging me one-on-one here?"


    "Dealing with trash like you, how is there a need for Zhou Yu to take action? If not for the sake of making provisions for contingencies, I wouldn''t even bring Zhou Yu here," Zhou Yan said nonchalantly, his words filled with contempt towards the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    "You''re the one who said it!"


    Although Tu You was very displeased with Zhou Yan''s disdain, this guy''s arrogance gave the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land a chance.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Tu You sent a palm straight towards Zhou Yan.


    The seemingly ordinary palm encompassed the might of heaven and earth. It was as if the entire world was crushing towards Zhou Yan.


    This was a strength of a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse. They did not need to deliberately maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at all. Each and every move encompassed the strength of Heavenly Dao.


    In this present era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, Dao Profound Realm was hailed as the realm closest to Heavenly Dao. Even if it was a First Level Dao Profound, their strength was terrifyingly powerful too.


    "Tch, I thought what ultimate move there was. Turns out it''s such a move. Wasting this Young Master''s time! Break for me!"


    Zhou Yan just stood where he was, both eyes glaring. The air in front of Tu You suddenly exploded, emitting extremely scorching power.


    Tu You was taken by surprise and hit flying out directly by this attack.


    "Puhwark!"


    Tu You immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood. The death qi on his body was getting increasingly heavier, virtually possible to lose his life at any moment.


    He was originally an expiring lamp without oil already, and he could not maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at all. Forcefully taking action, he already brought out the last trace of vitality.


    In his state, even just moving would make vitality flow away, let alone attacking with such great intensity like this.


    Even if he could cross this hurdle today, Tu You probably could not survive past half a year either.


    Receiving this blow, Tu You''s expression changed dramatically and he said, "It''s actually an ocular art, furthermore, the power of flames. You �� You''re people of Vastsun City!"


    "What?! They are actually Great Xiang Region''s Vastsun City''s people! That''s a Rank One Holy Land!"


    "This �� Isn''t Young Lord an ascender? How did he provoke Vastsun City, this kind of leviathan?"


    "It''s over, this time! It''s utterly over! With Vastsun City''s strength, we wouldn''t even be sufficient to fill the gaps between their teeth! No wonder this youth is so arrogant. Turns out that he really has the capital to be arrogant!"


    Great Xiang Region''s Vastsun City and Bright Moon City were too distinguishable; both renowned throughout the Divine Realm for rarely seen ocular arts. Practically no one did not know these two great cities.


    In front of a Rank One Holy Land like this, Crimson Afterglow was completely lacking.


    "Heh heh, you old man''s strength is lacking, but you have some experience and knowledge. That''s right, we came precisely from Vastsun City. If you don''t want Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Dao teachings to be eradicated, I advise that you guys better hand Ye Yuan over!" Zhou Yan said smugly.


    Tu You shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan he really isn''t in the holy land. Forgive this old man for not being able to hand him over!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, "Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Looks like you want to use the entire Crimson Afterglow to be buried together with him! Forget it, this Young Master will fulfill your wishes!"


    At this point, Tu You did not have any more thoughts of getting lucky either.


    Although he did not know how Ye Yuan offended Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan''s hatred towards Ye Yuan, he could feel it distinctly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    This grievance of Zhou Yan''s was probably not that easy to resolve.


    "Crimson Afterglow''s people listen up! Today, Crimson Afterglow has encountered a foreign enemy! This old man beseeches everybody in the name of the Holy Lord; unity of will is like a fortress, repel the foreign enemy!" Tu You suddenly said to everyone in a clear voice.


    This shout was to have a last-ditch battle.


    For so many years, Tu You managed Crimson Afterglow firmly like a metal bucket. Even though he had not shown face for many years, his prestige was still there.


    Adding in Zhou Yan''s merciless tone, everyone was already long aware in their hearts that there was no way to escape by sheer luck. So they flashed their weapons one after another, planning on taking a final plunge.


    Seeing this kind of situation, Zhou Yan''s expression was as dark as water. He did not expect that this lousy Rank Nine Holy Land would actually rather the whole army be completely annihilated and also not be willing to hand over a young lord who had just ascended not long ago.


    What capabilities did Ye Yuan have? Why did everyone all want to revolve around him?


    The present Zhou Yan was already on the brink of rampaging. He snapped, "A bunch of thick-headed things! Since you guys are seeking death, then this Young Master will send you on your way! Zhou Yu, kill for me! Don''t leave even a fragment of armor behind!"


    "Yes, Young Master!"


    After Zhou Yu voiced his assent, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire holy land.


    Third Level Dao Profound strength was exhibited without holding back in the slightest.


    "Mighty Heaven Vastsun Palm!"


    Zhou Yu stood in the air and smacked a palm down. Only to see an enormous palm formed from flames slap downwards directly.


    This enormous palm was seemingly an apocalyptic divine palm to Crimson Afterglow. That horrifying energy undulation made everyone give up all hope within.

 847 Disaster Is Brought About by Careless Talk

    Dao Profound Realm; one realm, one world.


    Zhou Yu''s Third Level Dao Profound was more than a level stronger compared to Tu You''s First Level Dao Profound.


    It was nothing difficult for one Zhou Yu to sweep across the entire White Valiant Region.


    Furthermore, Vastsun City''s martial techniques were all fire-attribute martial techniques with extremely powerful destructive powers.


    This Mighty Heaven Vastsun Palm being unleashed was truly akin to an apocalyptic palm.


    If this palm landed, there was bound to be countless casualties.


    Tu You shut his eyes painfully, not daring to look at the subsequent scene.


    The disparity was too great. Disregarding that he was already a dying lamp without oil now, even when he was at his prime, he was worlds apart from Zhou Yu too.


    Zhou Yan looked at the ants below the enormous palm with a cold smile, feeling delighted inwardly.


    "To dare oppose this Young Master, this is your outcome!"


    Just as he was going to see the flesh and blood of everyone under the huge palm flying in all directions, his eyes suddenly became wide circles!


    That enormous palm actually gradually became faint under his eyes, finally dissipating into nothing!


    Zhou Yan''s expression changed, and he swiveled his head in four directions as he said, "Who''s sneaking around furtively? Scram out here for this Young Master!"


    Slap!


    A hand slapped over from inside the void, directly hitting Zhou Yan until he somersaulted in the air.


    "To dare speak impertinently to this Seat, is this how Zhou Jia taught you?"


    A cold voice sounded out, able to let people discern that there was that hint of sullen anger in his words.


    Zhou Yan flew out 10 thousand feet away in the air before barely managing to stabilize his figure. Reaching his hand towards his face and touching, he discovered that his face was clearly already badly swollen.


    Although he clearly knew that the other party already showed mercy, his fury still towered into the clouds.


    Since the other party knew to pull his punches, that meant he was wary of Vastsun City. Since that was the case, what was he still afraid of?


    "Insolent thing! To actually dare attack this Young Master! I think that you''re tired of ��"


    Zhou Yan''s words had yet to finish when Zhou Yu arrived at his side with a flash and hurriedly covered his mouth up.


    "Young Master, this person''s strength is unfathomable! This subordinate is absolutely not a match! We mustn''t readily provoke!" Zhou Yu hurriedly said.


    A disaster was brought about from careless talk. This mysterious person concealed within the void, he could not discern his position at all. That slap earlier, he completely did not know how the other party took action.


    This level of strength, Zhou Yu knew that he absolutely could not afford to provoke.


    Moreover, the other party said Zhou Jia''s name the moment he opened his mouth. He was probably at least a character on the same level as Family Head too.


    Zhou Yan was burning with rage at this time, how could he still listen?


    He exerted his strength to shake off Zhou Yu''s hand and roared, "What are you scared of? I don''t believe that there''s really someone who dares to kill Vastsun City''s Young Lord today! Cowardly rat, listen up for this Young Master, if you don''t kill this Young Master today, you''re a wuss!"


    When that person within the void heard this, he fell silent.


    Zhou Yan even thought that the other party was scared and laughed even more unbridled as he said, "Hahaha! I knew you don''t have the guts! Really a pansy! If you don''t dare to make a move, then get lost quickly for this father of yours!"


    Zhou Yan was looking at the side, wishing that he could go up and beat Zhou Yan down. This Young Master was too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!


    In this Divine Realm, although forces stronger than Vastsun City were not many, they were not few either!


    This person hidden in the void was definitely an expert of a region. Even if he really was somewhat apprehensive of Vastsun City, he might really harden his heart and kill after hearing these words.


    At that time, who would he find to reason things out?


    All of a sudden, Zhou Yan''s words were directly stuck at his throat, his pair of eyes becoming round as balls.


    At this instant, it was as if his heart had stopped. An immense sense of danger hovered around him.


    Zhou Yan''s entire person was bound up by some kind of inexplicable energy. He could not even breathe!


    He did not doubt in the slightest that as long as the other party was willing, he could kill him at any time.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Zhou Yu''s expression changed drastically by the side. He was clearly standing by Zhou Yan''s side, but he was completely unable to get rid of the shackling forces in this space!


    This person''s strength was too terrifying!


    In his desperation, Zhou Yu directly knelt down in the air and said with clasped hands, "Senior, please calm your anger! My family''s young master is young and ignorant, and he offended Senior! Zhou Yu offers an apology to you on his behalf! Senior, please let my family''s young master off on account of Family Head!"


    "Humph! If not for this seat having some friendship with Zhou Jia, with his words, this Seat would definitely exterminate your Vastsun City!" the person in the void said with a cold snort.


    Hearing these words, Zhou Yu''s expression changed greatly. Looks like they provoked a terrifying existence today.


    From the other party''s tone, one could discern that he did not attach any importance to Vastsun City at all.


    Zhou Yan even provoked him like that. What difference was there from seeking death?


    "Senior, please calm your anger." Zhou Yu had no means and could only kowtow vigorously.


    "You, a retainer, are somewhat loyal. But he offended this Seat. The death penalty can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment!"


    The moment his voice faded, it was as if Zhou Yan suffered some kind of heavy blow. His entire person suddenly convulsed, then he toppled down stiffly.


    Zhou Yu turned pale with fright and hurriedly supported Zhou Yan.


    "Senior, this ��"


    "Get lost! If Zhou Jia feels like challenging me, let him come find me!" said the person in the void as he snorted coldly.


    Zhou Yu''s expression changed, and he fled, carrying Zhou Yan at a splitting pace.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s people were long dazed from watching. This mysterious person''s strength was simply powerful until it made people''s hair stand on end!


    Hearing the other party''s tone, he did not even place the Rank One Holy Land, Vastsun City, in his sights!


    It was just that all of them were rather curious why this mysterious person would take action to save the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Seeing Zhou Yu retreat, Tu You hurriedly brought Chen Qin and the rest to prostrate themselves on the ground towards the void and said, "Tu You represents everyone in the Crimson Afterglow to give thanks for Senior''s life-saving grace! If Senior has any instruction, feel free to instruct us!"


    Tu You was a clever man too. The other party definitely would not take action to help the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land for no reason at all.


    This kind of existence, the Crimson Afterglow would not enter the other party''s arcane sights at all.


    That person in the void was silent for a moment, then he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "You''re on the verge of dying and can at most only live for half a year''s time. Looks like that guy finding me to refine the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill was probably in order to refine for you. Take it. Consuming this pill, it will naturally help you to extend your longevity by 300 years."


    A medicinal pill flew out from within the void and arrived right in front of Tu You.


    Tu You was actually somewhat absent-minded for a moment as he held this medicinal pill.


    Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, this was the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill!


    What kind of character would actually refine such a heaven-defying medicinal pill for him?


    This mysterious person in front of him was definitely at the Divine King Realm without any doubt. But what kind of person could request the other party to refine such a Tier 9 medicinal pill?


    Tu You was very clear that this Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, even ordinary alchemy emperors could not refine it either.


    To be able to refine it, they were all characters who had reached the peak of perfection in alchemy.


    Chen Qin saw Tu You in a daze and promptly nudged him a bit.


    Tu You came back to his sense and hurriedly knelt down to give thanks, "Senior''s great kindness, Tu You will never forget it!"


    "No need to thank me. Better thank that boy called Ye Yuan. For me to refine this pill on his behalf is also considered returning him a favor. Forget it, looks like he really isn''t here. Since there''s no luck to meet today, I''ll save it for the future."


    When these words were said, there was no longer any sound in the void. That mysterious person clearly left already.

 848 One Year

    In the holy hall, all of the Crimson Afterglow''s elders were shockingly present.


    Inside the holy hall at present was dead silent. Each and every one of them did not know how to start talking.


    Too many things happened today. Everyone had yet to digest it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Finally, it was still Tu You who was the first to speak up.


    "Gentlemen, these few years, this Emperor was also compelled against my will to linger on with my final breath of life until today. It''s just that didn''t expect Ye Yuan could actually invite such a major power to specially refine a Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill for this Emperor. Honestly speaking, I don''t know what to say right now as well."


    Tu You was indeed very complicated in his heart. His original intent was to groom Ye Yuan to take over.


    But little did he think that Ye Yuan actually secretly requested that level of existence to refine the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, this kind of heaven-defying medicinal pill, for him.


    This favor was owed too great.


    Even throwing in the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land could not match this medicinal pill''s value either!


    Ye Yuan was clearly just a Lower Realm martial artist who had ascended not long ago. His cultivation realm was merely Boundless Realm. But he actually had enemies like the Vastsun City and also had friends like that mysterious person.


    This level of connections was completely not what a Rank Nine Holy Land like the Crimson Afterglow could stick a foot in.


    Putting aside that Zhou Yan only brought along Zhou Yu, even if Zhou Yan came by himself, eradicating the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was also plenty to spare.


    Dao Profound versus Phaseless indeed had an overwhelming advantage.


    But this kind of advantage was not absolute.


    To Zhou Yan, this level of genius, he could rely on powerful concepts comprehension to heaven-defyingly defeat a First Level Dao Profound.


    Moreover, the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, this kind of ocular art''s lethality was extremely formidable. Crossing realms to battle was even more like having a common meal.


    These made Ye Yuan''s identity become even more mysterious.


    Making Ye Yuan become the Crimson Afterglow''s Young Lord seemed to have become a joke. Because Ye Yuan was someone on a completely different level from them.


    When Chen Qin saw the situation, he hastily said the reason for Tu You''s great loss in longevity. Everyone felt lingering fear after hearing it too.


    But after Wu Siyuan heard it, his expression changed drastically and said, "Holy Followers! We ran into two very powerful opponents in the boneyard! They called themselves Holy Followers!"


    Tu You''s expression changed. He did not think that such an incident even happened before in the boneyard.


    After Wu Siyuan returned, he always had carefully avoided mentioning the boneyard matters. This was still his first time opening his mouth to mention about the matters that happened underground.


    It was just that Tu You never thought that Wu Siyuan actually ran into Holy Followers at the boneyard. Furthermore, it was two at once!


    "What?! You guys ran into two Holy Followers? No wonder the casualties were so severe! It''s just that �� those Holy Followers all had extremely formidable strength, you guys �� how did you guys escape?" Tu You said in puzzlement.


    He himself had exchanged blows with a Holy Follower before and was naturally aware of a Holy Follower''s prowess.


    If not for the Crimson Afterglow''s forbidden art being powerful, he would have long been killed by the other party already. Even so, Tu You still lost the Crimson Afterglow''s most valuable treasure before considering it spending money to get rid of a calamity.


    "This �� They �� They were killed by Ye Yuan!" Wu Siyuan ruminated for a moment before saying.


    "What did you say?! The �� The two Holy Follower were both killed by Ye Yuan? How is that possible?" Tu You said in disbelief.


    "Holy Lord, the specific circumstances, I can''t tell you. Otherwise, the entire Crimson Afterglow might suffer a disastrous calamity," Wu Siyuan said with a frown.


    That black-clothed person''s might, he witnessed it with his own eyes. A pagoda slaying two holy follower experts. Too powerful!


    Long Teng''s warning was still ringing in his ears. If this matter was divulged, Long Teng might really do away with witnesses to prevent divulgence of one''s secrets. Even the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was out of the question!


    Tu You''s expression turned apprehensive. The matters that happened in the boneyard was clearly even more complicated than he imagined. He nodded his head straight away and said, "Forget it, this Emperor won''t make things difficult for you either. Hopefully, Ye Yuan will be blessed by heaven and can return safe and sound."


    ...


    A year''s time passed in a twinkle. But to Ye Yuan, it was an extremely drawn-out process.


    He felt like he had a very, very long dream. He walked in the dark, walked and walked, but forever could not walk to the end.


    "Where am I? Seems like �� my divine soul is being restrained? My divine soul was clearly already torn to shreds by Fiendgod Jia Lan. Why is it still well right now? Could it be �� I''m already dead?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    This question, he thought for very long in this dark space but failed to find an answer.


    Ye Yuan could not figure it out right now, whether he was alive or dead.


    "Ugh �� Finally came! This will suppression seems to be getting stronger and stronger!"


    In this darkness, the only thing that made Ye Yuan feel like he existed was this will suppression.


    At set intervals, he would be devastated by this will suppression once. This kind of devastation practically made him had a breakdown.


    But in this darkness without any hope, his breakdown meant nothing at all. Because Ye Yuan did not even know whether he was alive or dead right now.


    This incomprehensible will suppression was even many times more powerful than that azure dragon will Ye Yuan cut down in the past.


    Ye Yuan was wrecked utterly dog-tired by him each time before that will would suddenly disappear as if it had never appeared before.


    From the very beginning hundred breaths of time, to later, a quarter of an hour, two hours, then to the current half a day, Ye Yuan felt that he was in the midst of continuously strengthening.


    That will was akin to great waves washing away the sand, continuously scouring Ye Yuan''s nerves, making him wish that he was dead.


    That sort of feeling was seriously too overwhelmingly depressing.


    But right now, Ye Yuan was already thoroughly numb towards this sort of feeling. His endurance was goodness knows how many times stronger compared to when it just started.


    "Huuu �� Finally passed! Am I kind of asking for it a little right now? Why do I feel somewhat uneasy all over if this will doesn''t come? But being devastated for so long, it seems like my will suppression became considerably stronger too!"


    Ye Yuan gave a self-deprecating smile but released his own will suppression. He could distinctly feel that he had grown quite a bit in this dark space.


    All of a sudden, there was a blur before Ye Yuan''s eyes. It actually changed scenes!


    "Master, you finally woke up! This one year, you worried Blackwind to death!"


    Opening his eyes, the first thing Ye Yuan heard was Blackwind''s voice.


    Ye Yuan blinked his eyes, clearly still kind of dazed.


    "Ugh �� Blackwind? I �� I came out?" Ye Yuan said sluggishly.


    "Came out? What came out? Master, you have always been underground here and didn''t go out!" Blackwind said baffledly.


    "En? Underground?" Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. Memories instantly filled his entire head.


    He still remembered Fiendgod Jia Lan suddenly making a move at that time, tunneling directly into his sea of consciousness, and grinding up his divine soul.


    Then he knew nothing after that.


    Right at that time, a burst of mysterious power blasted right onto Jia Lan''s fiendish sense, shocking him out of his sea of consciousness.


    After that, darkness descended, wrapping Ye Yuan''s tattered divine soul inside entirely.


    Then afterward, it was that infinite torture.

 849 Transformation

    Black bead!


    What saved him must be the black bead!


    This black bead was truly miraculous. His divine soul was already heavily wounded by Fiendgod Jia Lan, and the black bead actually brought him back to life!


    Then what confined him inside the dark space was also the black bead?


    "Just what the hell is this black bead, to actually be so miraculous!" Ye Yuan muttered.


    "What bead is master talking about? Oh, right, when that Fiendgod Jia Lan came out from master''s body, he mentioned before about some Soul Suppressing Pearl," Blackwind suddenly recalled something and said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Soul Suppressing Pearl?" Ye Yuan was stunned but had never heard this name before.


    Back then, when he obtained this black bead from the Grand Yan True Sect''s ruins, it entered his sea of consciousness incomprehensibly.


    And it also saved him several times at critical junctures.


    This time, it even forcefully dragged him back from an extent from impending death, fully restoring his tattered divine soul.


    "En? You said just now �� one year? I''ve already slept here for a year''s time?" Ye Yuan suddenly recalled something and said in surprise.


    "Yes, Master. In the beginning, Blackwind was very worried about Master''s safety. But later, although Master did not wake up, you continuously broke through cultivation realms in your sleep, making Blackwind endlessly amazed. Only then did I set my mind at ease. Just earlier, Master actually directly broke through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm in your sleep and didn''t even trigger any heavenly tribulation. It''s seriously too incredible!"


    After Ye Yuan fell into a coma, his aura had always been vague and fleeting, looking very frightening, as if he might pass away at any time. Blackwind was also anxious but could not do anything by the side, completely at a loss on what to do.


    But after this kind of state kept persisting for a period of time, not only did Ye Yuan not die, he directly broke through a minor cultivation realm instead, breaking through to the Fifth Level Boundless Realm.


    This discovery made Blackwind unbelievably shocked.


    He was already going to die and could actually still break through?


    Then, around a month''s time passed again, Ye Yuan actually broke through once more!


    In one year, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm actually soared rapidly, breaking through all the way to peak Ninth Level Boundless realm.


    From the initial-most worry, Blackwind became astonished.


    Ye Yuan''s situation was too strange. Blackwind had no way of understanding at all.


    But one thing was certain, Ye Yuan was already fine!


    Which dying person could still break through continuously?


    But recently, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm already reached the nodal point of breaking through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. Blackwind became worried again.


    This heavenly tribulation from Middle Three Realms to Upper Three Realms was not that easy to transcend.


    But just now, Ye Yuan directly broke through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm, and he did not even trigger the heavenly tribulation!


    Breaking through the Middle Three Realms, one must experience a major heavenly tribulation once. With Ye Yuan''s strength, this heavenly tribulation''s power was bound to not be small.


    But right now, he already finished breaking through, and even a hint of the heavenly tribulation could not be seen. This really made Blackwind''s jaws drop.


    Ye Yuan also could not quite make head or tail of it but recalled his experiences inside the dark space.


    Could it be that the will devastation in the dark space was actually cultivation?


    Ye Yuan immediately examined his own divine soul and discovered that between the eyebrows of his divine soul, there was indeed an additional eye!


    This was the hallmark of breaking through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, opening a heavenly eye!


    Upper Three Realms gained enlightenment on Dao. The so-called Heaven Enlightenment Realm was the divine soul unlocking a heavenly eye and could have a preliminary glimpse into the secrets of Heavenly Dao.


    This heavenly eye was a kind of resonance between the divine soul and Heavenly Dao. Martial artists could see the power of laws that they could not see in the past through the heavenly eye, and comprehend these power of laws and use them for themselves from there.


    Wanting to reach this step was a tremendous test to Middle Three Realms martial artists.


    One must comprehend sufficiently profound concepts before breaking through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm to be able to open up the heavenly eye easier.


    And after opening the heavenly eye, martial artists'' speed of comprehending concepts would be dozens of times faster compared to before!


    Especially those genius martial artists, their comprehension speed could increase hundreds, thousands of times. Heaven Enlightenment Realm was the realm where one truly soared to the skies in one move.


    Therefore, reaching Heaven Enlightenment Realm, martial artists'' strength would have a qualitative leap. Boundless Realm, martial artists were completely inadequate to look at in front of Heaven Enlightenment Realms.


    However, precisely because comprehending concepts before Heaven Enlightenment Realm was more difficult, it was even harder to come by for Ye Yuan to be able to comprehend a supreme true intent to the fifth-stage before Heaven Enlightenment Realm.


    In terms of concepts comprehension, Ye Yuan did not choose the easy way in the least bit. He relied on his comprehension abilities to understand it step by step.


    Ye Yuan examined his essence energy sea again and discovered that his essence energy sea already reached a horrifying circumference of one million feet unknowingly.


    This level was as many as dozens of times of ordinary Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists.


    Solely in terms of essence energy sea, Ye Yuan could compare to middle-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists now too.


    "Truly inconceivable! My soul force actually already reached middle-stage Alchemy Saint!"


    What surprised Ye Yuan more was still his soul force.


    In the past, Ye Yuan''s divine soul realm always followed his cultivation realm. Even if his soul force already reached the level of great circle of perfection, it was also not possible to break through the body''s fetters.


    But now, he actually smashed these fetters!


    Ye Yuan had never heard before that someone''s divine soul realm could actually break through the body''s limits.


    Even if your divine soul cultivation method was cultivated any more fearsomely, it was also impossible for initial-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists to cultivate to middle-stage Alchemy Saint.


    But now, Ye Yuan did it!


    "What? Master just broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm and your soul force actually already reached middle-stage Alchemy Saint? This �� How is this possible?" Blackwind was shocked to the core.


    Ye Yuan gave a bitter laugh. A surge of powerful soul force was released.


    Sensing Ye Yuan''s soul force, Blackwind''s eyes were filled with disbelief.


    "Really middle-stage Alchemy Saint! My God, how can such a miraculous thing happen in this world?"


    Blackwind was already unable to use words to describe his astonishment. This sort of impossible to happen thing actually really happened in front of him.


    No matter what divine soul cultivation method one cultivated in, it was not possible to break through to the next level at a corresponding cultivation realm. This was common sense.


    But the current Ye Yuan shattered this common sense.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I don''t know what''s going on either. Looks like the problem still occurred with the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Seems like I still have to find Jia Lan when there''s a chance and inquire about this Soul Suppressing Pearl''s matters from him."


    Jia Lan coming into being should originally be a matter that made the Divine Realm fall into immense terror, but he was severely injured by Ye Yuan.


    Especially the time where he seized possession, Jia Lan''s fiendish sense probably injured his foundations. He completely had no way of recovering to his peak state within a short time.


    If Ye Yuan met Jia Lan again, Ye Yuan believed that he should have sufficient strength to deal with him.


    "Master breaking through the body''s limits, this kind of thing, you must take care not to expose it in front of people. Otherwise, it will stir up huge problems," Blackwind said with a solemn face.


    Once this sort of thing was revealed, Ye Yuan was surely be treated as a lab rat, drawing countless people''s covetous eyes.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You don''t need you to remind me about this. I naturally got it. Oh, right, I remember that there were still two Holy Followers at that time. Those two people''s strengths were extremely formidable. Why didn''t they attack us?"


    Blackwind''s expression dimmed as he said, "Lord Throne, his �� condition seems to be very bad!"

 850 Chaotic Devil Sea

    Hearing Blackwind telling the situation on that day, Ye Yuan''s expression was very ugly.


    After he went into a coma, Long Teng actually forcefully deployed the Vast Heaven Pagoda and slew the two holy followers.


    Actually, regarding Long Teng''s identity, Ye Yuan had some surmises long ago.


    However, Long Teng did not tell him, so e did not go and expose it either.


    Even if the dragon race''s lifespan was a lot longer compared to the human race, it was absolutely impossible for Long Teng to live for 50 thousand years either.


    As for what Long Teng said before, Fang Tian letting him survive until now through altering the flow of time, that was even more absurd.


    Forget about Long Teng, even Fang Tian himself, as long as he did not break through to Deity Realm, it was absolutely impossible for him to live until now either.


    Even if Fang Tian had heaven-defying attainments in the Dao of Time.


    If Ye Yuan''s conjectures were right, Long Teng should be the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s artifact spirit!


    Although Ye Yuan refined the Vast Heaven Stele, due to his cultivation realm being too low, he was completely unable to unleash the true power of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that even if the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s grade did not reach divine artifact, it was probably not far off either.


    However, Long Teng''s condition being poor was true.


    Ye Yuan estimated that during the great monumental battle 50 thousand years ago, Long Teng probably suffered considerable injuries too, resulting in him not recovering until now.


    Forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda was overly forceful to the Long Teng in this kind of state.


    Blackwind said that after Long Teng returned to the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he never came out again either.


    Even though Blackwind could not make head or tail of the situation, Long Teng''s weakness, he perceived it.


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he immediately entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    At present, Ye Yuan already broke through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm. After entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he distinctly sensed that it was somewhat different from before.


    Ye Yuan came before the Vast Heaven Stele and sunk his divine sense inside. Some of the hidden space he previously could not sense actually surfaced in his mind vividly.


    "That Fang Tian was indeed a monstrous genius, to actually still have such attainments in the Dao of Artifact Refining. Vast Heaven Pagoda is a marvelous creation excelling nature. It''s probably not far from the divine artifact of the legends either." Ye Yuan sighed with admiration.


    Ever since Deity Realm powerhouses vanished, divine artifacts had never appeared in the Divine Realm again.


    For Fang Tian to refine the Vast Heaven Pagoda with his own ability, it could be seen how formidable his strength was.


    His heart stirred. Ye Yuan''s figure appeared inside a secret space in the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    In here, Ye Yuan could distinctly sense that the flow of time became much slower.


    In front of a black silhouette. It was precisely the Long Teng whom he had not met for a long time.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s arrival, Long Teng did not have any reaction at all. He was still sound asleep. If it were normally, Ye Yuan''s appearance would surely have startled Long Teng.


    "Senior Long Teng!"


    The Long Teng in his slumber slowly opened his eyes, clearly very low-spirited. When he saw Ye Yuan, he could not help revealing a relieved expression.


    "Ye Yuan huh, I knew that your, this brat''s, life is tenacious and won''t die that easily! En? You broke through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm? Not bad! Not bad!" Long Teng forced a laugh.


    Ye Yuan bowed deeply and said, "Many thanks for Senior''s grace of saving my life!"


    "Huhu, you''re the owner of the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Naturally, you can also be called as my master. I obviously can''t watch you be killed by that Jia Lan passively."


    Long Teng saying this was equivalent to tacitly acknowledging his identity as the artifact spirit.


    Ye Yuan''s intelligence, he had long bore witness before and knew that Ye Yuan definitely guessed his identity long ago. It was just that Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was still low at that time and did not obtain his true approval. Ye Yuan could not even control the Vast Heaven Pagoda, how could Long Teng easily acknowledge him as his master?


    "Senior forcefully deployed the Vast Heaven Pagoda. You have likely already injured your foundation. Can you allow Ye Yuan to do a check?"


    Ye Yuan did not have superfluous words of thanks. This kindness, it was enough for him to remember in his heart.


    Long Teng nodded his head slightly. Ye Yuan''s soul force crept up and started investigating Long Teng''s situation.


    Long Teng trembled slightly and exclaimed in surprise, "You �� Your cultivation is at the First Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm, so why would you have middle-stage Alchemy Saint soul force?"


    "I can''t make head or tail of this either. But it should be the effect of that whatever Soul Suppressing Pearl, right? Senior, don''t resist, wait for me to check a little while."


    Ye Yuan carefully swept over Long Teng''s body, but his brows knitted together.


    Artifact spirit, this kind of existence, was very special. As long as the Vast Heaven Pagoda was not destroyed, Long Teng could survive for an extremely long time.


    But for Long Teng, as a proud member of the dragon race, to willingly become the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s artifact spirit, it could be seen that his relationship with Fang Tian was not ordinary.


    Although becoming an artifact spirit, he could obtain a long life, the price was to never enter samsara!


    The existence of artifact spirits was somewhat similar to divine souls but had differences.


    Under normal circumstances, it was very hard for artifact spirits to get injured. But once injured, it was extremely troublesome.


    "Looks like that great battle 50 thousand years ago, Senior injured your foundation! Forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Senior''s wounds added injuries on top of injuries," Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Long Teng said smilingly, "Looks like you guessed it since long ago. That''s right. During that great battle 50 thousand years ago, the Vast Heaven Pagoda once withstood a heaven-quaking blow from the Heavenly Fiendgod head-on before. The Vast Heaven Pagoda itself suffered tremendous damage, while I also damaged my foundation under that blow. Originally, in these 50 thousand years, my injuries already improved quite a bit. But forcefully deploying the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time aggravated my injuries again. But you don''t have to worry either, I won''t die."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed slightly when he heard that too. To be able to severely wound the Vast Heaven Pagoda comparable to a divine artifact, that Heavenly Fiendgod''s strength was truly daunting until it made people''s hair stand on its end!


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Senior, you don''t need to feign composure anymore. Although artifact spirits'' longevity is long, they are not of undying bodies. Your injuries have never gotten better because you injured your foundation, and your self-recovery abilities weakened greatly. If it continues to deteriorate like this, you''ll probably thoroughly perish before long! Looks like I''ll have to make a trip to the Chaotic Devil Sea!"


    "Chaotic Devil Sea?" Long Teng said in puzzlement.


    The era when Long Teng roamed the Divine Realm unhindered, the factions were already completely different from presently. The name Chaotic Devil Sea, it was still his first time hearing it.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En! The Chaotic Devil Sea is formed by seven great regions. These seven great regions don''t belong to any forces. In the Chaotic Devil Sea, the strong reigns supreme, going on a killing spree at the word of disagreement. There is no order to speak of whatsoever. It''s a haven for those wicked people and people who aren''t willing to be restricted by rules. In the Chaotic Devil Sea, they don''t look at the background, only strength!"


    To the Divine Realm, the Chaotic Devil Sea was a very special place.


    That place was utterly chaotic. Killing people to seize treasures was common occurrences. As long as you had sufficient strength, you could live very comfortably there.


    Outside martial artists entering, they were completely unable to adapt at all.


    Wanting to sit around and do nothing, waiting to die, was totally impossible.


    Want to survive, one had to become stronger!


    In the Chaotic Devil Sea, there was no lack of some targets wanted by major forces. But as long as they enter the Chaotic Devil Sea, those forces would not be able to do anything about them at all. Even super Holy Lands could not either!


    Putting it bluntly, this was a world where the strong feasts and the weak were prey. In that place, it was teeming with the flavor of primitiveness.


    "Going to that sort of place for what? Even though you broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, going to that kind of place is too dangerous, right?" Long Teng''s countenance changed as he said.

 851 Young Lord Returning

    Although Long Teng had not been to the Chaotic Devil Sea before, hearing Ye Yuan''s simple description, he knew that place definitely had a large group of murderous and wicked villains.


    That kind of place, experts were probably in abundance.


    Experts that were able to survive there, their strengths should definitely be incomparably formidable.


    Even those Great Holy Lands'' geniuses might not be stronger than them.


    As for such a place, there were definitely a large group of Dao Profound Realm experts too. That went even more without saying.


    Even those Phaseless Realm martial artists might not be people that Ye Yuan could easily cross realms to battle with.


    The White Valiant Region was just one of the Divine Realm''s most remote regions. The martial artists here, their strengths were not very strong. But in the Chaotic Devil Sea, that kind of place could be said to be a place where countless Divine Realm powerhouses gathered.


    The two could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.


    Therefore, Long Teng''s concern was not utterly unjustifiable.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "If I can''t even handle a Chaotic Devil Sea, my great vengeance don''t need to be avenged anymore either. Senior, rest assured. A mere Chaotic Devil Sea, I, Ye Yuan, still won''t place in my sights. Senior''s injuries can''t be delayed. Only by going to the Chaotic Devil Sea can it be treated!"


    Long Teng''s expression became slightly austere as he said, "Just what does the Chaotic Devil Sea have that you insist on going?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Skandha Divine Stone!"


    Ye Yuan nonchalantly uttered three words but made Long Teng''s expression change drastically.


    "What did you say? That Chaotic Devil Sea actually has Skandha Divine Stones?"


    "That''s right. What I know at present, in the Divine Realm, only the Chaotic Devil Sea has Skandha Divine Stones. Only Skandha Divine Stones can aid senior to consolidate your foundation and nurture your essence, to recover to your peak condition," Ye Yuan said.


    Skandha Divine Stone was a type of extremely rare wondrous item. It had extremely great nourishing effects towards divine souls, primordial spirits, artifact spirits, these types of existences.


    Since Long Teng was an artifact spirit, Ye Yuan had no way of refining medicinal pills for him at all. Only the Skandha Divine Stone, which was a kind of heaven and earth wonder, could treat his injuries.


    Long Teng gave Ye Yuan a glance with a complicated expression, but he shook his head and said, "This place that produces Skandha Divine Stones is probably exceedingly dangerous, right? With your current strength, it''s likely too dangerous. And I already don''t have strength left to spare to control the Vast Heaven Pagoda one more time again!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled when he heard and said, "Senior just have to care about recuperating in this place. Other things, leave them to me."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, and he exited the Vast Heaven Pagoda directly.


    Watching Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Long Teng was slightly dazed. Only after a long time did he scold with a smile, "Stinking brat!"


    Although Ye Yuan inherited the Vast Heaven Pagoda, for such a long time, he had always been testing Ye Yuan''s character.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan actually did not truly obtain much help after acquiring the Vast Heaven Pagoda for a long time.


    Without his, this artifact spirit''s, approval, Ye Yuan could not even find this secret space.


    But this time, Ye Yuan entering the boneyard without a single backward glance, wanting to slay Fiendgod Jia Lan, finally made Long Teng thoroughly accept Ye Yuan.


    ...


    This recent period of time, an extremely major incident happened in the White Valiant Region.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Holy Lord, Tu You, actually gained a new lease on life. After secluding for 10 months, he miraculously broke through to Second Level Dao Profound!


    This incident shocked the entire White Valiant Region.


    The Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was filled with exultation from top to bottom. The depressing air amassed these few years was instantly swept clean!


    The other six Holy Lands'' Holy Lords all issued greeting cards to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, wanting to come to the White Valiant Region to express felicitations to Tu You.


    Helpless, Tu You could only organize a grand ceremony to welcome guests from all over.


    "Holy Lord, the six Holy Lands'' Holy Lords are all already waiting in the great hall," Chen Qin entered and said.


    Tu You darted Chen Qin a glance and said, "Sigh, you also know that my lucky breakthrough this time was all thanks to Ye Yuan. Now that Ye Yuan''s life and death is uncertain, we''re hosting some grand ceremony in Crimson Afterglow. I can''t get past this psychological hurdle!"


    Chen Qin said helplessly, "This is also something that can''t be helped. Holy Lord breaking through to the Second Level Dao Profound this time, not only does your strength reign supreme in the White Valiant Region, but your longevity also increased several hundred years out of thin air. Although the six Great Holy Lands'' Holy Lords didn''t say it explicitly, for them to come personally to congratulate, they are already expressing their intent to submit. If we don''t accept it, it will instead cause everybody to panic. As for Ye Yuan, this subordinate also wishes for him to come back safe and sound soon. But his matters are evidently already not what we can poke our noses into."


    "Be that as it may, I keep feeling like I owe Ye Yuan too much in my heart," Tu You said with a sigh.


    "Talking about owing, it''s not a matter of just Holy Lord alone. The entire Crimson Afterglow all owe him far too much," Chen Qin said helplessly.


    That Divine King powerhouse said before when giving Tu You the medicinal pill, he owed Ye Yuan a favor.


    To be able to make this kind of existence owe a favor, Ye Yuan''s background was definitely not small.


    Therefore, the entire Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was actually very embarrassed right now, especially Tu You. He felt like he owed Ye Yuan too much, but he had no way of repaying Ye Yuan anything.


    Especially now that a year had passed, and there was no news about Ye Yuan. This made Tu You feel even more fearful and in suspense.


    "Say, do you think Ye Yuan can come back or not?" Tu You said.


    Chen Qin could not help choking up, nodding his head, then shaking his head again. But in the end, he did not know what he should say.


    According to the way Wu Siyuan said it, Ye Yuan was injured extremely severely at that time. Now, there was already no news for an entire year. The likelihood of survival was probably already very low.


    In the end, Tu You gave a long sigh, but he still went out toward the great hall.


    In the great hall, the Crimson Afterglow organized a grand celebration. The White Valiant Region''s major and minor forces practically all gathered at the Crimson Afterglow, all here to express congratulations to Tu You.


    "Congratulations, Holy Lord Tu. Soaring to the skies in one bound this time seriously made people endlessly shocked!"


    "Holy Lord Tu is indeed a prodigious talent. In the future, our Cloud Watchtower Holy Land will listen only to the Crimson Afterglow''s orders!"


    "The Crimson Afterglow is well-deserving of being a veteran Holy Land with deep foundations! Holy Lord Tu breaking through to the Second Level Dao Profound this time, you have got to take care of us in the future!"


    The ones talking were all Holy Lords.


    These Holy Lords had always been contending in secret between themselves to see who could be the first to break through to the Second Level Dao Profound Realm.


    And among them, Tu You''s age was the oldest. His hope was naturally the bleakest as well.


    These few years, it had always been widely rumored that Tu You entered closed-seclusion, wanting to breakthrough to Second Level Dao Profound, but he had never succeeded.


    Not only the Crimson Afterglow''s own people doubted Tu You, but even these Holy Lords were also very suspicious about Tu You''s situation too.


    If not for Tu You''s age being the oldest and his strength being the strongest too, they would probably have made a move long ago to probe.


    But now, they never would have thought that among the seven Holy Lords, it was actually Tu You who was the first to break through to the Second Level Dao Profound Realm!


    In front of people, Tu You naturally would not display dispirited emotions. He immediately said coolly, "Everybody doesn''t have to be courteous. The White Valiant Region is everyone''s White Valiant Region, not my, Tu You''s, personal White Valiant Region. Our White Valiant Region belongs to the bottom-of-the-barrel existences in the Divine Realm. Everybody should support each other all the more so, like birds of a feather ��"


    When making polite and insincere comments, Tu You did not even blink his eyes.


    But right at this time, someone shouted at the top of voice outside the door, "Young Lord came back! Y-Young Lord Ye has returned!"


    Tu You''s expression changed, and his face immediately revealed a look of wild elation as he vanished from inside the great hall with a whoosh.


    [0] Starting from this chapter, we will capitalised G and S in Great and Super Holy Lands.

 852 Double Happiness

    On the Crimson Afterglow streets, a group of people clustered around a young man, all incredibly excited.


    "Young Lord, it''s great that you''re alright! You have no idea, we were all worried sick about you in this one year!"


    "Yeah, Young Lord. Elder Wu came back and said that your situation was very bad. We were all worried to death. You''re the hope of our Crimson Afterglow''s future, nothing must happen!"


    "Yii, Young Lord, you, you, you �� broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm already?"


    One could tell that these young men truly took Ye Yuan to be like an idol. They were very worried about him this period of time.


    Although the time Ye Yuan became the Young Lord was not long, his series of methods still brought everyone into submission.


    Even Wu Siyuan yielded, let alone the rest.


    Furthermore, Soul Martial Divine King, Zhong Zizhen''s appearance the previous time made Ye Yuan''s prestige in the youngsters'' hearts rise to an impossible height even more.


    To have relations with such a terrifying existence, this Young Lord was truly remarkable!


    Tu You gaining a new lease on life and breaking through to the Second Level Dao Profound Realm, people coming from all around to pay respects, these were all intricately linked to Young Lord Ye Yuan.


    If there were no Ye Yuan, those six holy lords would probably not be here to pay respects but sending out an army to attack instead.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    But when they discovered that Ye Yuan actually broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, each and every one of them was so astonished that they could not close their mouths.


    Didn''t Wu Siyuan say that Ye Yuan was badly wounded and that his life was in critical danger? Why did he directly break through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm after a year of not appearing in public?


    Reality seemed to be entirely different from Elder Wu''s version of things.


    Ye Yuan saw through everyone''s doubts, but said smilingly, "What Elder Wu said was right, when he left, I was indeed on the verge of dying. But later, I obtained some good fortune. Not only did my injuries recover fully, I even broke through cultivation realms consecutively."


    Wu Siyuan was at loggerheads with Ye Yuan, this was something that was known to all in the Crimson Afterglow. These youngsters having doubts, that was within reason.


    In reality, Wu Siyuan also suffered considerable skepticism in this one year.


    They did not know what happened in the boneyard. There were even people who suspected whether or not Wu Siyuan struck a vicious blow against Young Lord.


    But the Holy Lord did not seem to look into this matter excessively.


    In this one year, Wu Siyuan had constantly lived in the seclusion of his own home and rarely came out. He himself withstood tremendous pressure too.


    If not for Wang Zan supporting Wu Siyuan fervently, probably even Tu You would not believe Wu Siyuan either.


    Thanks to Ye Yuan, Wang Zan also returned alive this time. And this Wang Zan was First Elder Chen Qin''s trusted confidant.


    "Ye Yuan! You �� It''s great that you came back!"


    A figure flashed, Tu You revealed his figure, his appearance extremely agitated.


    Ye Yuan returning safe and sound, a huge rock in his heart finally landed on the ground.


    Seeing Tu You appear, the others all gave a bow, then withdrew in succession.


    The Crimson Afterglow''s people all understood why Tu You would be so agitated.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he cupped his fists and said, "Congratulations to Holy Lord for breaking through to Second Level Dao Profound!"


    Those youngsters chiming into the conversation, Ye Yuan also figured out what was going on in the Crimson Afterglow today.


    For Tu You to be able to break through to the Second Level Dao Profound Realm indicated that Zhong Zizhen already came by before.


    Tu You was originally peak First Level Dao Profound. Except, he had always been stuck at this bottleneck and was unable to break through.


    In proportion to the difficulty of refining, the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill''s medicinal effects were extremely strong too. Tu You breaking through to Second Level Dao Profound was within Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that he would actually be gone for a year''s time.


    "What''s there to congratulate about? Any greater joyous occasion can''t match up to your safe return too!"


    Tu You went up agitatedly to pull Ye Yuan into his arms, rather like old friends who had not met for many years.


    At this time, the other Holy Lords also followed outside. Seeing this scene, they could not help clicking their tongues in amazement.


    The relationship between the Holy Lord and the Young Lord can be said to be a relationship of a master and an apprentice as well. But there would never be a Holy Lord with such an attitude towards the young lord.


    The Sheng Jun following behind the Cloud Watchtower Holy Lord was rather understanding towards this scene.


    He had witnessed before Ye Yuan''s methods underground. He was certain that even if these Holy Lords were present, they absolutely could not do it to Ye Yuan''s sort of extent either.


    Furthermore, hearing the news of Tu You breaking through to the Second Level Dao Profound Realm, Sheng Jun''s first reaction was that it had something to do with Ye Yuan!


    This was just a kind of intuition. Sheng Jun could not say why either. Tu You had always been announcing that he was in seclusion to assault the Second Level Dao Profound these few years, but he had never succeeded all along.


    Now, Ye Yuan just became the young lord and Tu You successfully broke through. This was a bit too coincidental as well.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "What''s Holy Lord saying? You''re the backbone of the Crimson Afterglow. Now that you broke through to the Second Level Dao Profound, the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land has at least several hundred years of glory. This is the first-rate joyous occasion for our Crimson Afterglow!"


    Ye Yuan''s position in Tu You''s heart was long not what a Young Lord could be summarized with.


    But today''s protagonist was Tu You. Ye Yuan obviously would not be a gate-crasher and usurp the host''s place. Furthermore, he was going to leave soon after. Coming back this time was primarily still for the sake of saying goodbye, but he did not expect to just happen to run into the grand celebration.


    "Haha, this Emperor has too many things I wish to tell you! Let''s have a good chat later! There are many guests present today, so let''s not neglect them," Tu You said.


    Tu You naturally had a belly full of words he wanted to say to Ye Yuan. But these words were not appropriate to say explicitly in front of people, so he could only hold it in as well.


    When those Holy Lords saw Tu You''s joyful appearance, each and every one of their expression turned dim.


    Entering the boneyard this time, six out of the seven Great Holy Lands'' Young Lords perished all at once. Only Sheng Jun alone returned. This threw their hearts into turmoil.


    To be able to become the Young Lord, each one of them depended on numerous resources of the Holy land. The Holy Lords definitely also expended painstaking effort.


    Losing it all at once, it was hard for them to avoid feeling downcast in their hearts.


    It was just that they never thought that after a time interval of a year, Ye Yuan actually survived miraculously. It touched their sore spot all of a sudden.


    "Gentlemen, today, my Crimson Afterglow is blessed with two joyous events at the same time. This Emperor is very happy. Everybody, come into the great hall! Ee won''t return without getting drunk!" Tu You said heroically.


    Seeing Ye Yuan return safe and sound, he was too happy in his heart. As for his current behavior, it was very different from how he usually acted.


    These Holy Lords were all shrewd and astute and naturally perceived something different. Regarding this Crimson Afterglow''s newly ascended Young Lord, they all cast over curious looks.


    When he was passing by Sheng Jun, Sheng Jun also said with a cheerful look, "Brother Ye being able to return safely, this Sheng is glad from the bottom of my heart! I just didn''t expect that Brother Ye profited from a misfortune this time and actually broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm."


    When Sheng Jun saw Ye Yuan, he was incomparably shocked in his heart too.


    Having his divine soul minced by Fiendgod Jia Lan, not only did Ye Yuan''s injuries recover fully, he even broke through a major cultivation realm in a year''s time. This was simply something inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan gave Sheng Jun a glance with a profound meaning and said smilingly, "Time waits for no man, Brother Sheng got to buck up too. Perhaps someday when the Divine Realm gets thrown into chaos, I still have to rely on Brother Sheng''s strength!"


    Sheng Jun''s heart went cold, immediately feeling greater pressure.


    The might of the fiendgod was already deeply imprinted in his mind. If Fiendgod Jia Lan really could recover to his pinnacle strength, that would truly be a great calamity to the Divine Realm!

 853 Send-Off

    "What?! You �� You want to go to the Chaotic Devil Sea?"


    After the great celebration, Tu You dragged Ye Yuan into a hidden chamber without delay to carry out a conversation.


    But the words Ye Yuan''s threw out gave Tu You a fright.


    "Yes. I have important things and must make a trip to the Chaotic Devil Sea!" Ye Yuan nodded and said.


    "But �� But ��"


    Ye Yuan suddenly mentioning that he wanted to leave thoroughly threw Tu You''s tempo into confusion. He actually did not know what to say for a moment.


    Only after thinking for a long time, did Tu You say, "Then �� will you still be coming back?"


    At present, Tu You was already aware that the Crimson Afterglow, this temple, was too small, and simply could not accommodate Ye Yuan, a great deity.


    It was just that Tu You never expected that this day would actually arrive so quickly.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Tu You''s concerns and said smilingly, "Rest assured, Holy Lord. No matter where I go, I''ll always be the Crimson Afterglow''s Young Lord. But I probably can''t make it back for a short while."


    This sentence represented Ye Yuan''s promise to Tu You.


    When Ye Yuan soared in the future, he would absolutely pull the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land along.


    It was just that right now, Ye Yuan was unable to stay in the Crimson Afterglow anymore. Ye Yuan was carrying too many things on his shoulders. He had more things to do.


    A measly little Crimson Afterglow was not his stage.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Tu You''s expression became complicated. He finally gave a sigh and said, "Ever since that Lord appeared, I knew that you''d leave sooner or later one day. But didn''t expect that it was so soon. Since your mind is made up, I won''t hold you back anymore. This life of mine was given by you. If you have any needs, feel free to speak."


    "That''s not right, Holy Lord. The Crimson Afterglow''s foundation, the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, was ruined by me. Ye Yuan is seized with fear! Just a measly little Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, Holy Lord don''t have to worry about it," Ye Yuan said.


    The value of the primeval dragon bone was far above that of the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill. Its significance to Ye Yuan was absolutely not what a Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill could compare to either.


    If not for so, how could Ye Yuan possibly utilize such a huge favor to make the Soul Martial Divine King of the Ten Great Divine Kings, Zhong Zizhen, take action to refine this Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan could feel that Tu You was truly planning on grooming him as the successor, so he had quite a favorable impression towards Crimson Afterglow as well.


    But Tu You shook his head and said, "The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool''s significance was actually already not great to Crimson Afterglow. Otherwise, we wouldn''t have kept on going downhill too. Forefather, that sort of peerless genius, is not so easy to show up. You being able to walk to the seventh level of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was already a miracle to the Crimson Afterglow."


    The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was good, but not everybody could walk to the seventh level region.


    Except that this time, the Crimson Afterglow really produced several fine saplings. Especially Ye Yuan, he actually walked to the final level. This was already a tie with Forefather''s record.


    If there were no accidents, Ye Yuan breaking through to the Divine King Realm was no issue at all!


    One had to know that the forefather was an existence comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings. His strength was unfathomable.


    Furthermore, no matter which aspect one looked at, Ye Yuan''s talent was heaven-defyingly scary. His future accomplishments might not be lower than Forefather''s.


    "Oh, right, with that guy''s temperament, seeing that I''m not in the Crimson Afterglow, he shouldn''t take the initiative to make an appearance. How did you detect that fellow''s existence?" Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.


    Tu You''s heart was slightly apprehensive. Ye Yuan''s tone when talking was very casual like he was old friends with that Lord.


    Tu You was shrewd with age and could naturally tell that Ye Yuan was not putting on an appearance. But this involuntarily made him become even more curious, just what kind of person was Ye Yuan, to actually be able to become friends with that kind of existence?


    A person who was able to think nothing of Vastsun City, no matter how one racked their heads, he was not an ordinary Divine King powerhouse either.


    Seeing Ye Yuan inquire, Tu You naturally would not hide it either, giving a recount of the situation that happened that day.


    Ye Yuan frowned hard when he heard that. He did not think that there was still such a thing in-between this.


    This was really an accident arising from many causes. Otherwise, when he returned now, the Crimson Afterglow would probably be a wasteland already. Thinking about it, he was filled with lingering fear after the event too.


    Ye Yuan really did not expect that Zhou Yan actually refused to give up on his evil designs, and he even came to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Looks like not teaching him a bit of lesson, this fellow would really go from bad to worse!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was as dark as water. A terrifying aura emitted very naturally.


    Tu You could not help being slightly startled when he saw the situation. Ye Yuan was clearly only Heaven Enlightenment Realm, but he actually gave rise to feelings of dread towards Ye Yuan''s aura.


    "Looks like after coming out from the Chaotic Devil Sea, I''ll have to drop by Vastsun City!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Tu You was speechless when he heard that. Vastsun City was a Rank One Holy Land with deep foundations. Just the Divine King powerhouses were quite a few.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s talent was shocking and he was already a Phaseless Realm martial artist after coming out of the Chaotic Devil Sea, it was not possible to deal with a Vastsun City too, right?


    But thinking about how Ye Yuan knew that Lord, Tu You let go of his worries too.


    As long as he called that Lord, presumably Vastsun City would really not dare to act rashly without careful consideration, right?


    ...


    The next day morning, in front of Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s large-scale transmission array, came a dozen over figures. They were all here to send Ye Yuan off.


    "Brother Ye, I didn''t expect that you''ll be leaving right after you came back. This Sheng was still planning on finding you to enjoy a cup of wine and have a nice chat. Seems like there''s no opportunity. The Chaotic Devil Sea is different from the White Valiant Region. Brother Ye got to be careful everywhere," Sheng Jun clasped his hands and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he said, "Rest assured, Brother Sheng, this Ye is naturally aware. Brother Sheng understands the righteousness of a cause. In the future, your accomplishments are bound to be limitless. This White Valiant Region is too small. If there''s a chance, best to go out and walk around more."


    Entering the boneyard this time, Sheng Jun''s performance made Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    The human race had an enormous population but was in a state of disunity. People with courage and were worthy like Sheng Jun were really not many.


    Now that the Divine Realm''s undercurrents were surging and Fiendgod Jia Lan came into being, it was precisely a period of trouble. People like Sheng Jun, naturally the more the merrier.


    Sheng Jun smiled and said, "Brother Ye has the same thought as this Sheng. Even if Brother Ye didn''t say, this Sheng plans to go out and walk around sometime soon too."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and fished out a small bottle, and threw it to Sheng Jun as he said, "This is a Dharma Word Pill that this Ye refined yesterday night. I believe it will be of some help to Brother Sheng."


    Sheng Jun''s entire body trembled as he received the Dharma Word Pill in Ye Yuan''s hand in disbelief.


    "This �� This is really a Dharma Word Pill? This Sheng has long heard before of the name of Dharma Word Pill, but nobody in the White Valiant Region is able to refine this pill. Didn''t expect that Brother Ye actually has such capability!" Sheng Jun marveled.


    Dharma Word Pill was a medicinal pill that helped Heaven Enlightenment Realm medicinal pills breakthrough to Phaseless Realm. Although it was a Tier 7 medicinal pill, it was extremely hard to refine.


    Even that Cloud Watchtower Holy Land''s Alchemy Venerable powerhouses could not refine it at all either.


    Sheng Jun was unable to imagine that Ye Yuan actually only used a night''s time to refine a Dharma Word Pill.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s martial strength, Sheng Jun had a clear understanding long ago. But he did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such heaven-defying attainments in alchemy.


    "Huhu, Dharma Word Pill isn''t considered some incredible medicinal pill. It''s not hard for this Ye to refine. Alright, thanks so much for coming to send me off, everyone. Let''s meet again if fate wills it!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

 854 Super Transmission Array

    Yi Sea City was the Dinghe Region''s Rank Four Holy Land, and Yi Sea City was a subordinate force of Dawn Heavenly Palace, one of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands.


    Yi Sea City was very prosperous because in the nearby several major regions, only Yi Sea City had a super long-distance transmission array.


    In the Divine Realm, wanting to cross several major regions to go on a journey, one must pass through a super long-distance transmission array.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Martial artists likely required several years, even several decades to complete the journey if they relied solely on one''s own strength to fly.


    Of course, if one''s strength reached the Divine King Realm, that was something else entirely.


    "Boy, stop looking! The super transmission array is spoiled. Want to hop onto the transmission array, go queue up and register over there!"


    A Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment city guard berated and did not have any respect towards this young man in front of him at all.


    And the target he was berating was precisely Ye Yuan who came far away from the White Valiant Region.


    The fees required for constructing a super transmission array was an astronomical figure. Places like the White Valiant Region did not have the ability to build a super transmission array at all.


    Therefore, for Ye Yuan to want to go to the Chaotic Devil Sea, he had to pass through a place with a super transmission array.


    Yi Sea City''s super transmission array led to a large city in the proximity of the Chaotic Devil Sea. Hence, Ye Yuan came to Yi Sea City.


    Not only did constructing a super transmission array need to cost a huge sum of resources, it even required a coalition of several Tier 9 Array Emperors before it could be completed.


    Yi Sea City naturally did not have this ability. This transmission array was assisted by the Dawn Heavenly Palace to build for Yi Sea City in order to strengthen the control over the nearby several major regions.


    But when Ye Yuan made it to Yi Sea City, the transmission array was spoiled coincidentally.


    What made Ye Yuan depressed was that now, there was already a large group of martial artists held up in Yi Sea City. Even if the transmission array were fixed, if Ye Yuan queued up according to the protocol, it would need a month''s time before he could leave as well.


    After all, a super transmission array like this, the essence crystals it needed to expend each time was a rather terrifying figure.


    This transmission array could only activate once every three days. Each time it activated, it could only transport 300 people.


    Ye Yuan familiarized himself with it earlier. Right now, there were already several thousand people registered. He probably could not leave Yi Sea City for a few months.


    Currently, the surrounding of the transmission array was already sealed off. Far-away, some Array Masters could be seen currently carrying out repairs inside.


    "This brother, I wonder when this super transmission array can be fixed?" Ye Yuan secretly stuffed a bag of earth essence crystals to that city guard and asked.


    The city guard darted Ye Yuan a glance with a profound meaning. Clearly, he did not think that this young man was actually so adept. Only then did his expression ease up considerably.


    Taking the money, that city guard naturally answered every question: "Maybe 10 days, maybe a year. How can I be certain about this? Repairing this super transmission array requires a Tier 9 Array Emperor to personally take action. Our Yi Sea City doesn''t have a Tier 9 Array Emperor. Right now, City Lord His Excellency already ordered people to go to Dawn Heavenly Palace to invite a Tier 9 Array Emperor. But the Tier 9 Array Emperor is in great demand. Whether he comes or not, what time he comes, it''s all uncertain."


    This �� This was awkward!


    Ye Yuan was very worried about Long Teng''s situation and was not willing to delay even a second. Therefore, he departed on the journey on the second day after he returned to Crimson Afterglow.


    He did not expect that although he did not delay at Crimson Afterglow, he was held up in this Yi Sea City.


    "Like this huh, I wonder how this transmission array spoiled?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Upon mentioning this, that city guard immediately flared up and said, "Don''t talk about it! That heaven-damned fellow! Turns out that he was hunted down by the Dawn Heavenly Palace''s elders until here. It was also a coincidence when that fellow arrived here, our transmission array was in a state of activating. That guy killed quite a few people upon making a move and even wrecked the grand array."


    One could tell that when this city guard mentioned that person, a look of fear showed in his eyes. Clearly, that person''s strength was extremely formidable.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was shocked inwardly too. An existence who could be chased down by the Dawn Heavenly Palace was probably not a good guy.


    Furthermore, one could tell that from destroying the grand array, that fellow was definitely a ruthless character.


    Damaging the grand array from the interior, one could be swept into a turbulent spatial flow at any time. This was going for broke.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said to that city guard, "This one knows about array formations a little. Why not let me lend a hand and try helping out?"


    The city guard was stunned and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Forget it! Even though our Yi Sea City doesn''t have a Tier 9 Array Emperor, we have some Tier 8 Array Masters! You take a look at those people inside, they are all master-class figures! What help can you, a little brat, offer?"


    Ye Yuan stuffed another bag of earth essence crystals to him and said with a smile, "Big Brother, Younger Brother has been interested in formations since young. You look, there are so many masters inside. Younger Brother also just wish to go in and learn. You look, their age isn''t young anymore either. I can always come in handy for some manual labor, right?"


    Looking at that bag of earth essence crystals, the city guard was clearly somewhat hesitant already.


    Thinking about it, he said, "How about this, I''ll go and speak for you. But whether they use you or not isn''t something that I can decide! But this thing ��"


    His meaning was very clear, regardless whether it was a success or failure, this bag of earth essence crystals was his.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Don''t worry, Big Brother, whether it works or not, since Younger Brother took this thing out, I''ve never thought about taking it back. Big Brother has a hard job here too. Taking it to drink a bit of alcohol to get over your fatigue is also good."


    That city guard said with a hearty laugh, "Boy, you''re very sensible! I like you! You wait here. I heard that the transmission array was damaged very badly this time. Master Wu they all are really lacking manpower."


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble Big Brother."


    Ye Yuan smuggling inside was naturally not in order to learn. He wanted to fix the grand array.


    Rather than waiting for that whatever array emperor to come, it was not as fast as getting to work himself.


    The super transmission array was not one grand array, but combined together from many major and minor array formations; very complicated.


    Among these had Tier 9 array formations, Tier 8 too, and even Tier 7 array formations.


    Those Array Masters inside right now were all repairing array formations under Tier 9. Tier 9 array formations, naturally only Array Emperors understood.


    However, these array formations was not a difficult thing to Ye Yuan. Hence, that was why he came forward of his own accord to offer his services, saying that he wanted to go in and learn.


    When Ye Yuan looked over at this time, that Master Wu was currently utterly exhausted from overwork. Managing the restoration of such a grand array was clearly somewhat forceful to him.


    Ye Yuan saw the city guard went up to exchange a couple of words with him, then turned back.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, the city guard smiled and said, "You, boy, are lucky. Master Wu just happen to be lacking manpower and asks you to hurry over. But Master Wu said, if you go over and cause trouble, he''ll slap you to death with one palm! Don''t blame me for not warning you. Master Wu''s temper is very bad. You have to be careful."


    Regarding this result, it was not out of Ye Yuan''s expectations. Super transmission arrays were very complicated. To Tier 8 Array Masters, it was indeed a little forceful.


    He swept a glance earlier and knew that inside was really lacking manpower. So with people delivering themselves to the gate, they should not refuse.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t worry, Big Brother. Don''t look at how Younger Brother is young, my foundations are still very solid. I won''t make a mess."

 855 Experts Walk Among the Masses

    "En, good that it''s solid. If it isn''t solid and you annoy Master Wu, the one courting death is yourself too. Alright, come with me then," the city guard said coolly.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s life or death, he could not be bothered. As long as there was money to earn, it was fine.


    The two people were just about to turn around and leave when suddenly, a clear and melodious voice stopped them from behind, "Hey, hey, two Big Brothers, are you guys lacking people who know array formations here?"


    Turning around to take a look, turns out that it was a beautiful lady wearing a flaming red fur dress.


    This lady seemed to be even a little younger than Ye Yuan''s age. But her strength could not be underestimated. It actually reached Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment already.


    The girlie looked very pretty. That city guard was still thinking of flying off the handle, but the moment he saw her, he immediately put out the fire.


    "Uh �� You know array formations too?" The city guard asked.


    The girlie nodded her head like a chicken pecking for rice and said with a wide beam, "I know, I know! Don''t look at how I''m young, I''m a true-blue Tier 7 Array Master!"


    The city guard sized this girlie up and down a bit, his gaze filled with disbelief.


    "Huh? You don''t believe? I''ll display a move for you to see!"


    The girlie seemed to have suffered some stimulation, casually lay down a miniature array formation. Her technique actually flowed smoothly and naturally.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. This girlie looked like she came from a family with profound teachings. Just this move was even stronger compared to quite a few Tier 8 Array Masters.


    The city guard''s eyes turned intent, and he nodded and said, "Alright, you come too!"


    The girlie looked at Ye Yuan with a smug smile and followed along as well.


    "Master Wu, these two ��"


    The city guard had yet to finish talking when he was interrupted by Master Wu, "You two each set up a miniature Tier 5 array formation for me. If you can''t set it up, get lost right now for me!"


    Master Wu was clearly very impatient. There were even people coming up to seek guidance from him every now and time and were given a good dressing down by him.


    Looks like he indeed had a hot temper.


    That girl''s lips pursed and she said disdainfully, "Tch, isn''t it just a Tier 5 array formation? Watch carefully!"


    As she said, the girlie imitated what was done before, and only used around ten breaths of time to finish laying down a Tier 5 array formation.


    Master Wu was overjoyed the moment he saw and repeatedly praised, "Good, good, good! A fine Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation! You, lassie, do indeed have some Dao attainments. You can stay! You follow me in a while, I''ll tell you what to do."


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Although the lass looked young, her technique was extremely skillful. To be able to set up a Tier 5 array formation within ten breaths of time, her formations attainments would not be too poor.


    Master Wu was an expert. He could naturally perceive clumsiness at a glance.


    Honestly speaking, he really lacked this kind of people who knew the ropes under his charge to act as an assistant. This girlie just happened to be perfect.


    "Hey, your turn!" the girlie looked at Ye Yuan sneeringly and said.


    She was roughly as old as Ye Yuan and did not believe that Ye Yuan could casually set up such a Tier 5 array formation.


    "Hurry up, don''t waste this old man''s time! This super transmission array is damaged very badly. We must complete some fundamental array formation repairs before the Tier 9 Array Emperor comes over!" Master Wu said impatiently.


    Witnessing the girlie''s methods, Master Wu did not think that Ye Yuan could reach this sort of level either.


    The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation was a very profound Tier 5 array formation. Wanting to finish setting it up within ten breaths was indeed rather challenging for Tier 7 Array Masters.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and made his move like lightning!


    With this movement, Master Wu and the girlie''s gaze immediately sharpened!


    "This boy is intentionally provoking me, no? It''s actually the Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation too! This missus doesn''t believe that you can set it up even better than this missus!" The girlie was secretly displeased.


    But Ye Yuan''s performance disappointed her.


    Ten breaths!


    Just nice ten breaths of time, no more, no less. Ye Yuan similarly finished setting up the formation.


    Seeing Ye Yuan finish setting up the formation, Master Wu could not help being slightly dazed.


    Experts in arrays were the same as alchemists, all rare species. To be able to have such formations attainments at a young age was even rarer.


    He did not think that today he would see two of them all at once!


    The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation which Ye Yuan set up was virtually identical with the girlie''s. Even the time was grasped just nice.


    This skill was not what ordinary people could accomplish.


    "Master Wu, done," Ye Yuan said with a slight smile.


    "Ah! Good, very good! The two of you are both pretty good, really not bad! There''s a Tier 7 child-formation over there that''s damaged very badly. Not many people here are qualified to take on the duty. The two of you go and give it a try. Keep in mind, if you encounter anything you don''t know, come and ask me. Don''t ruin the array formation," Master Wu said.


    "Alright, Master Wu. We''ll get going." Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    "Hey, what are you walking so quickly for? Wait for me!" The girlie hurriedly chased after when she saw that Ye Yuan left.


    The girlie caught up to Ye Yuan and said with an unkind tone, "Hey, punk! Did you do it intentionally just now?"


    Ye Yuan acted dumb and said, "Intentionally? What does miss mean?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    The girlie pursed her mouth and said, "Quit playing possum! Similarly Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation, likewise ten breaths. How can there be such a coincidental thing? Own up, did you go easy just now?"


    With Ye Yuan''s formations attainments, how could setting up a Tier 5 array formation require ten breaths of time?


    The reason why he did it was just that Ye Yuan did not wish to stand out too much.


    As long as he controlled it at ten breaths of time, Master Wu could not say anything.


    Ye Yuan still feigned ignorance and said, "Not at all. I already tried my best before barely managing to complete within ten breaths. Miss is overly sensitive."


    The girlie blinked and said, "Is what you said true?"


    "Of course it''s true! The Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation isn''t an ordinary Tier 5 array formation; Completing within ten breaths, I already performed exceptionally well," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The girlie thought about it and felt that it made sense too, and she said, "Makes sense! Just that old fellow earlier, setting up a Mystic Crystal Dipper Formation is probably around ten breaths time or so as well. Even if you''re any stronger, it''s impossible to surpass him too."


    "That''s right! Alright, time is tight. We''d better not lose time and repair the array formation at once," Ye Yuan said.


    The girlie was startled and revealed a look of panic in her eyes. She quickly nodded and said, "Oh, right, right, right, quickly repair the array formation!"


    This set of Tier 7 array formation was an utter piece of cake to Ye Yuan.


    That lass clearly had exceedingly high attainments in Formations Dao too. In less than an hour''s time, the two people finished repairing this Tier 7 child-formation.


    "Hehe, really couldn''t tell that you''re pretty impressive in array formations. To actually be able to keep up with this miss''s speed! I''m called Ding Shiyu, you?"


    "Ye Yuan."


    "Ye Yuan? Really never heard before! This region''s famous Formations Dao geniuses, I know all. Never heard of your name before. Looks like experts walk among the masses!" Ding Shiyu thought for a long time and did not figure out who Ye Yuan was either.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Divine Realm is so large, how many people can you know? Alright, let''s report completion of the task to Master Wu."

 856 Secretly Making a Move

    "What?! You guys already finished repairing? The two of you weren''t slipshod with the task, right?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan duo report completion of the task, Master Wu was startled until he raised his voice.


    "Tch, how can a mere Tier 7 array formation stump this miss? If you don''t believe me, you can go and take a look," Ding Shiyu said disdainfully.


    Master Wu really did not believe and immediately went to inspect the array formation the duo repaired.


    With this look, he could not help being greatly astonished once more. This Tier 7 child-formation was really restored perfectly.


    He looked at the duo somewhat not daring to believe it. Wasn''t this efficiency a little too high?


    "Tier 7 array formations are too simple. I say, Master Wu, can you give us more complicated array formations? This miss is still in a hurry!" Ding Shiyu said.


    "This �� Can you repair Tier 8 array formations?" Master Wu said, rather uncertain.


    "Of course! Initial-stage Tier 8 array formations are definitely not a problem!" Ding Shiyu said with a proud look.


    Restoring array formations and setting up array formations was different. As long as one understood the principle and structure of Tier 8 array formations, Tier 7 Array Masters were able to do it.


    Ding Shiyu''s basics were very solid. Tier 7 array formations should have been thoroughly memorized in her heart long ago. She might really have dabbled in Tier 8 array formations.


    Master Wu thought about it, nodded his head, and said, "Fine then, Tier 8 Array Masters'' helpers are just kind of short right now. You go over there and help them."


    Ding Shiyu smiled sweetly when she heard that. Giving Ye Yuan a smug look, she went over in the direction of that group of Tier 8 Array Masters.


    Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and chuckling. This lass was clearly secretly contending with him. This was insisting on competing with him.


    That glance earlier was clearly saying: I can repair Tier 8 array formations, can you?


    After Ding Shiyu left, Master Wu asked rather weakly, "Can �� you repair Tier 8 array formations too?"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I can''t repair Tier 8 array formations. Master Wu, you go and work first. I''ll walk around and see where needs help."


    Master Wu sighed in relief and said with a nod, "Alright, then you go around and take a look. There are still quite a number of Tier 7 array formations that require people to help. You see which place needs it, then go ahead yourself."


    If Ye Yuan could repair Tier 8 array formations too, Master Wu would really have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.


    Two little brats had this kind of strength. His many years of life was really wasted away.


    But regarding Ye Yuan''s strength, Master Wu was still very certain. Helping to repair Tier 7 array formations, Master Wu felt very safe, he did not plan on bothering about him either.


    Ding Shiyu already started work on this side. Tier 8 array formation, it was clearly much more strenuous on her.


    However, she still paid very close attention to the situation on Ye Yuan''s side.


    Seeing Master Wu come over alone, she still felt slightly disappointed.


    Since young, she had yet to encounter before an Array Master in the same age group who could contend with her. Therefore, meeting Ye Yuan today, her desire to prevail over others was stirred up too.


    Although she was rather confident in her formations ability, no idea why, she kept feeling that Ye Yuan held back to some extent.


    "Master Wu, why isn''t that Ye Yuan coming over?" Ding Shiyu could not help going forward to ask.


    Master Wu said, "He says that he can''t repair Tier 8 array formations, so I let him walk around by himself and see which place needs help, then he can go for it. With his strength, repairing array formations under Tier 8 shouldn''t be a problem."


    Logically speaking, Ding Shiyu should be very happy right now. But don''t know why, Ding Shiyu felt that her interest was somewhat waning.


    The opponent must be comparable in strength and skill for it to be interesting. Finally managed to encounter an opponent, but it was this kind of conclusion. This made Ding Shiyu feel dull and bored.


    "Like that huh, then I''ll get to work," Ding Shiyu said dejectedly.


    After Master Wu left, Ye Yuan started strolling all around by himself. Occasionally, when he saw that people needed help, he would go over and lend a hand.


    It was obviously not that he could not repair Tier 8 array formations, but what he wanted to repair were the Tier 9 array formations!


    It was just that rashly mentioning that he wanted to repair the Tier 9 array formations, Master Wu definitely would not agree. Therefore, he drove away Master Wu, but he himself slowly moved over towards the Tier 9 array formations there.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    "Really impressive, Little Brother! I''ve been doing for a long time here and didn''t figure it out either. You solved the problem the moment you came," said a Tier 7 Array Master, raising a thumbs up to Ye Yuan.


    "This array formation''s array element is a bit confusing. Actually, figuring it out isn''t hard. You carry on, I''ll go over there and walk around," Ye Yuan said.


    "Little Brother, over there is the Tier 9 array formations region already," warned the Array Master.


    "En, I know. Tier 9 array formations are not so easy to encounter. I''ll go over and take a look," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    That Array Master nodded his head but was filled with admiration towards Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Look at that young man, so studious. No wonder he has such strength at a young age.


    The Tier 9 array formations'' area did not have a single person. Everyone was busy with their own work, and no one noticed Ye Yuan''s actions either.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, there would not be people overestimating their own strength to come and repair Tier 9 array formations either.


    A super transmission array''s Tier 9 array formations, speaking in terms of Formations Dao, it was not considered very hard. Initial-stage Array Emperors could repair them already.


    After comprehending the Array Formations Three Volumes, Ye Yuan''s attainments in formations Dao scaled new heights. Repairing this kind of array formations was naturally nothing difficult.


    Observing one round around the array formations, Ye Yuan already had a score in his heart about the structure of these array formations.


    Tier 9 array formations'' stability was still very strong. So the damage was not too severe.


    This super transmission array, the most serious damage were still those low-level array formations.


    This set of Tier 9 array formation, only a section of some small-scale array elements was ruined. It was just that these array elements'' structure was very complex and belonged to the scope of Tier 9 array formations. It was very hard for Tier 8 Array Masters to understand.


    But these were not a problem to Ye Yuan. Setting up such a large-scale array formation, he could not do it. But repairing this kind of small-scale array formations, it was still not a problem to him.


    Ye Yuan did not delay much either and directly started to repair these small-scale array elements.


    "Have you all seen Ye Yuan? Oh, he''s a young man, a little over 20 years old," Master Wu asked.


    He encountered a troublesome Tier 7 array formation over at his side, but he could not handle it alone, so he thought of Ye Yuan.


    Even though Ye Yuan was very new to everyone, he was too young. Placed among this group of people, it was very obvious.


    "Oh, he said that he wanted to study Tier 9 array formations and went over there," the Tier 7 Array Master that Ye Yuan helped previously said.


    Master Wu''s face turned black, and he said, "What nonsense! He, a measly little Tier 7 array formation, learning what Tier 9 array formation?"


    Master Wu''s figure moved, and he arrived at the Tier 9 array formations area very soon and saw a young figure bustling about over there. He immediately flew into a thunderous rage.


    "Ye Yuan, what are you doing?! You actually dare to touch the Tier 9 array formations without authorization! What if you break the array base, can you shoulder the responsibility? Quickly stop for me! If you still don''t stop, don''t blame me for not being courteous anymore!"


    Master Wu originally had a fiery temper. Upon seeing this sort of situation, he immediately flared up.


    This was a mission the City Lord passed to him. If he screwed it up, that would be terrible.

 857 Observation

    Master Wu''s roar startled everyone. Quite a number of people all put down the work in their hands and ran over to watch.


    The moment Ding Shiyu heard Ye Yuan, she immediately ran over.


    The moment she saw, she could not help jumping in fright.


    Ye Yuan was bustling about on the Tier 9 array formations and was actually repairing the array formations!


    "Come, men! Quickly come, men! Capture that punk for me!" Master Wu roared.


    Ding Shiyu beautiful eyes swiveled around, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    Several city guards hastily rushed over when they heard Master Wu''s yell.


    Master Wu ordered, "Capture this brat for me. Break his legs first before talking!"


    Several city guards received the order and were just able to go forward, when they heard Ding Shiyu say, "Calm your anger, Master Wu. Look closely, that small-scale array element in Ye Yuan''s hand is almost finished repairing!"


    Master Wu was stupefied. Only then did he carefully observe the movements in Ye Yuan''s hands and could not help getting a huge shock.


    "Hold your horses! Hold your horses! W-Wait a while more!"


    Ye Yuan seemingly did not hear the racket below at all. He just restored the array formation at his own pace.


    Very soon, that array element in his hand was fully repaired finish. He did not remain and ran over to another array element place to start repairing.


    The expression on Master Wu''s face became incomparably fascinating. He looked at Ye Yuan''s back view like he saw a ghost.


    Although he could not repair Tier 9 array elements, whether the array elements were repaired or not, he could still discern it at one glance.


    Ye Yuan, he actually repaired the Tier 9 array element?


    "W-What kind of joke is this? This boy is merely at the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. He can actually repair Tier 9 array elements?"


    "Too impressive! This guy is simply a genius! How old is he only? To actually have such heaven-defying attainments in the Formations Dao!"


    "Heaven-defying! Too heaven-defying! Likely, even Grand Yan Divine King did not have such terrifying strength when he was at this age too, right? Could it be that this boy will be Grand Yan Divine King''s successor?"


    Ye Yuan repairing a Tier 9 array element struck these array masters dumb with amazement.


    This kind of breathtaking performance made them involuntarily think of the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng, and carry out a comparison between the two of them.


    Ding Shiyu bit her red lips lightly, her eyes were big and moist as if about to drip water out.


    "This guy, turns out that he completely feels it beneath his dignity to compete with me! He says that he didn''t know how to repair Tier 8 array formations was also because he was too disdainful to repair Tier 8 array formations. The goal for coming in was totally for the Tier 9 array formations!"


    At this point, how could Ding Shiyu still not understand Ye Yuan''s objective?


    Ye Yuan was definitely in a hurry to leave too. So he deliberately sneaked inside for the sake of restoring this super transmission array.


    He, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm, saying that he wanted to repair Tier 9 array formations would definitely make people laugh their heads off. So he deliberately says to help, then take the chance when everyone was not paying attention to repair the Tier 9 array formations himself.


    This guy was truly too hateful!


    His strength was clearly formidable, but he intentionally tied with her. This was an insult to this young lady!


    Ye Yuan did not know that he had already been inexplicably hated by Ding Shiyu without rhyme or reason.


    "S-Still stoning there for what? All get your asses back for this old man! If you delay the restoration of the array formation, this old man will give you all a good one!" Master Wu boomed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Those array masters watching the show dispersed with a single command, each returning to their stations.


    When Master Wu looked at the Ye Yuan with his hands full, his gaze was filled with astonishment.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan finally could not hold on anymore and backed down.


    He wiped the sweat on his forehead and said helplessly, "Restoring Tier 9 array elements really consumes essence energy! Even with my essence energy recovery speed, it''s actually a bit too much for me."


    Setting up the grand array naturally needed to expend massive amounts of essence energy too. Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s strength, wouldn''t setting up Tier 9 array formations be easily accomplished?


    Even if it was a measly little Tier 9 array element, the essence energy expended was rather considerable too.


    "Ah! Master Wu, really sorry about it! This Ye is in a hurry to leave too, so that''s why I resorted to this plan. Please don''t take offense!" Ye Yuan said with an apologetic look.


    Master Wu''s face flushed crimson red. Being called a master by a person who could repair tier 9 array elements, how could he live up to it?!


    "Don''t, don''t, don''t, in �� in front of you, how can I dare to be ''master,'' this word? That �� M-Master Ye, this Tier 9 array formation ��" Master Wu hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan naturally understood his meaning. Nodding, he said with a smile, "This Ye''s cultivation realm is too low. The repair speed is a little slow. Give me a day''s time, these Tier 9 array formations should all be able to be repaired finish."


    Master Wu''s eyes became wide-saucers as he muttered, "A �� A day?"


    What kind of joke of was? Even if Tier 9 Array Emperors were invited over from Dawn Heavenly Palace, it was also not possible for them to finish repairing these Tier 9 Array formations within a day.


    Ye Yuan actually said that he only needed a day''s time?


    And this �� was even slow?


    Master Wu was really speechless. The words that a monster say would really make ordinary people breakdown!


    "En, a day''s time, should be about there. Master Wu, I''ll recover for a while first."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill and went to one side to recover essence energy.


    Before long, Ye Yuan was brimming with essence energy once more and returned to repairing the array formations.


    Master Wu followed in Ye Yuan''s footsteps, seemingly having some words that he found hard to speak out.


    Ye Yuan said in puzzlement, "Does Master Wu have something you want to tell this Ye?"


    "P-Please stop calling me master. This old man is Wu Junran. Master Ye, you just call me by my name directly will do. That �� That �� Master Ye, when you''re repairing the array elements, can you let this Wu observe by the side?" Master Wu said bashfully.


    Formations were the same as alchemy, both with secretly learning from a master being a taboo.


    Observing the repairs of array elements at the sides undoubtedly had some suspicions of stealing secrets.


    Ye Yuan was stunned, but he said magnanimously, "No harm. If Master Wu wants to look, just observe by the sides."


    "Ah! T-Thank you so much, Master Ye!" Wu Junran gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan.


    The martial artist world, those who reached first served as teachers.


    Wu Junran''s formations attainments could not compare to Ye Yuan''s. Learning from him was also something very natural, nothing to be ashamed about.


    On the contrary, Wu Junran''s strength being lacking, that would be looked down upon by people!


    To a Tier 8 array master, he wanted to become an Array Emperor powerhouse even in his dreams. Such a splendid opportunity, how could he miss it?


    Even the Array Emperor powerhouse who hailed from the Dawn Heavenly Palace would not possibly let him observe the restoration of the array formations at close quarters too.


    In comparison, Ye Yuan was much more generous.


    Ye Yuan did not have any taboo areas regarding this. He and Wu Junran did not have any conflicts of interests at all. Even if he really succeeded in stealing secrets, with Wu Junran''s comprehension abilities, it was impossible to catch up to him in this lifetime too.


    Therefore, what harm was there in allowing him to learn a little?


    Cherishing one''s own old broomstick, that was all something that only those people without confidence would do.


    Observing Ye Yuan repair the array elements at close-range, the shock in Wu Junran''s heart became even more intense.


    When this super transmission array was being set up, he was there. When those Tier 9 Array Emperors were setting up the array formations, he had naturally seen before from far away too.


    But those Tier 9 Array Emperors'' skills were actually not as proficient as Ye Yuan''s!


    This Master Ye was too formidable!

 858 Green Sea Mercenary Group

    For an entire day, Ye Yuan virtually spent it swamped with work.


    Repairing Tier 9 array formations was also a tremendous challenge to him. His essence energy was depleted fully several times, then replenished back through medicinal pills again.


    This kind of intensity made Wu Junran unbelievably speechless from watching.


    But Ye Yuan did not brag. He only used less than a day''s time to finish repairing all of the super transmission array''s Tier 9 array formations!


    "Done!"


    Along with the final array element being fully restored, Ye Yuan felt rather excited too. Finally leaving this place.


    "Master Ye is truly a genius! Even if a Tier 9 Array Emperor was here, it''s not possible to do it better than Master too!" Wu Junran gasped infor visiting.


    After all, the Chaotic Devil Sea''s danger was far from what other places could compare to.


    The super transmission array slowly activated. The array formation erupted with a dazzling light.


    Right then, a wave of hubbub suddenly emitted from outside.


    Boom!


    The guard who watched over the transmission array was directly sent flying by someone. A figure dashed inside.


    "Miss, quickly come out! You running away from home secretly, Master is greatly enraged and wants you to return at once!" that person saw Ding Shiyu in the crowd with one glance and shouted loudly.


    But the transmission array already activated at this time. That person was completely unable to stop it.


    Ding Shiyu made a funny face at that person and said delightedly, "Humph! You tell grandfather, I, Ding Shiyu, can also make my mark without relying on the family!"


    Finished talking, the transmission array erupted with rays of brilliant light. The 300 people inclusive of Ding Shiyu and Ye Yuan instantly vanished from sight.


    When that middle-aged man saw Ding Shiyu leave just like this, he stomped his feet in anger.


    "Didn''t they say that Yi Sea City''s super transmission array was broken? Why was it fixed so quickly! No matter how I rushed, I was still a step late! Sigh!"


    Once the transmission array activated, the next activation required waiting until three days after.


    In three days, Ding Shiyu would have run to goodness knows where long ago.


    ...


    Ten days later, a group of trade caravans with dozens of people were advancing along a narrow, winding trail.


    Each and every one among the trade caravans was fully armed to the teeth, akin to facing a great enemy.


    These martial artists among the trade caravans, each and every one looked very intrepid. Looks like their combat power were all not weak.


    At this time, the trade caravans already entered the Chaotic Devil Sea''s boundary. Starting from here, they would have to deal with dangers coming from all sides at any time.


    "Elder Brother Liu, I heard that this route isn''t very peaceful recently. There are already quite a few trade caravans that were gobbled up until not even bones remained. This trip, we got to be more careful!"


    "Don''t worry, Owner Yan. Our Green Sea Mercenary Group is Luo Ding City''s strongest mercenary group, not one of! With us around, you can feel at ease!"


    "With the Green Sea Mercenary Group, this Yan naturally feels safe. If not for so, I wouldn''t have spent a large sum to invite Elder Brother Liu either. It''s just that the things being transported this time is too important. This Yan has no choice but to be more careful!"


    "Owner Yan is overthinking it! The other trade caravans being annihilated was either because the strength of the mercenary groups they employed were lacking, or the trade caravans were unable to see through an obvious situation. Our two families have cooperated for many years. We naturally won''t make that kind of mistake."


    These two people talking, one was the owner of the trade caravans called Yan Jun. The other was the leader of Luo Ding City''s Green Sea Mercenary Group called Liu Yusheng.


    Luo Ding City was the nearest city away from the Chaotic Devil Sea, and also a communication bridge between the Chaotic Devil Sea and the outside world.


    The Chaotic Devil Sea needed large quantities of goods and materials. All of it flowed into it from places like Luo Ding City.


    Due to the Chaotic Devil Sea being very chaotic, it had its own set of survival rules. Therefore, some merchants did this sort of high-risk transactions like Yan Jun this kind.


    But the Chaotic Devil Sea was very dangerous. These merchants would naturally hire some mercenary group as well to ensure safety.


    The Green Sea Mercenary Group was a powerful mercenary group second to none in Luo Ding City.Master in this case refers to like master fortuneteller, not master and disciple.

 859 Yan Ling

    Yan Yusheng was a Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment martial artist. Speaking in terms of this tiny little Luo Ding City, he was already very powerful.


    Apart from him, the Green Sea Mercenary Group''s martial artists were all veterans of a hundred battles too. All of their strengths were not ordinary.


    Luo Ding City''s mercenary groups'' primary missions were to escort trade caravans into the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    Accumulating year after year, mercenary groups able to survive were all those with very formidable strength.


    But for so many years, the trade caravans that frequently take this path, they would generally bribe some of the major and minor forces on the way.


    These small forces in the Chaotic Devil Sea were also merely in order to seize some cultivation resources.


    As long as these trade caravans were generous enough, they would not exterminate everyone either.


    To these small forces, the trade caravans were like chives they were growing. After growing for some time, they would cut some to eat.


    It was just that the situation recently seemed to have had some changes. Two or three trade caravan teams previously disappeared on this route incomprehensibly, without leaving behind even a trace.


    Therefore, the merchants were all on tenterhooks during this period of time.


    Yan Jun took on a huge deal this time. In order to earn this sum of money, he did not stint to spend a very high price on hiring the Green Sea Mercenary Group.


    At present, in a horse carriage of the trade caravans, a woman was holding a five to six years old little girl in her arms, her eyes filled with lovingness.


    "Master Ye, really thank you so much this time! My daughter''s ailment has constantly been tormenting her since birth. We''ve invited many alchemists before who were all unable to treat her illness. If not for running into Master Ye, my little girl probably wouldn''t be long for this world!" the woman said gratefully.


    This woman''s name was called Lin Shuang. She was precisely Yan Jun''s lawfully wedded wife. And that little girl in her arms was naturally their daughter.


    The Master Ye in Lin Shuang''s words was obviously the Ye Yuan who came far away from Yi Sea City.


    Passing through several places, Ye Yuan finally went to Luo Ding City.


    The outside world did not have transmission arrays that led directly to the Chaotic Devil Sea. So, wanting to enter the Chaotic Devil Sea, one must enter by foot.


    In places like the Chaotic Devil Sea, moving alone drew too much of people''s attention. Those martial artists did not care who you were. Murdering and seizing treasures was a frequent thing.


    Although the Chaotic Devil Sea''s borders did not have many high-level martial artists either, Ye Yuan did not fear those people. But this way, it would be a lot more troublesome.


    As it happened, Yan Jun''s trade caravan needed an alchemist and just happened to be recruiting from the outside world. Ye Yuan came forward of his own accord to offer his services.


    Even though Yan Jun''s remuneration was very high, nobody accepted the offer at all.


    Alchemists'' combat strengths were very weak. Following trade caravans into the Chaotic Devil Sea was no different from committing suicide.


    Alchemists'' statuses in Luo Ding City was very high. But those who genuinely dared to enter the Chaotic Devil Sea were a scant few.


    Ye Yuan did not have a high-level alchemist''s badge. When he came to accept the employment offer, it could not dispense with a series of eye-rolling. But with his strength, after he displayed his skills slightly, it thoroughly convinced Yan Jun.


    Yan Jun''s daughter was called Yan Ling. When she was still in swaddling clothes, she was once captured away by a Chaotic Devil Sea''s expert, who used special means to injure her meridians.


    Back then, Yan Jun spent an enormous price before ransoming his daughter back from the other party''s hands.


    But he never would have thought that his daughter, who was ransomed back, would actually end up like this.


    But that martial artist who abducted Yan Ling was well-renowned in this border-zone of the Chaotic Devil Sea. Even Liu Yusheng did not dare to provoke either.


    Helpless, he could only invite alchemists with a king''s ransom to come and extend his daughter''s life.


    Except, that person''s methods were extremely profound. These few years, the earth essence crystals Yan Jun expended went beyond tens of millions. But Yan Ling''s body went steadily downhill.


    This time, because of some special reason, Yan Jun husband and wife had no choice but to bring their daughter along. But no alchemist was willing to follow their trade caravan. With no other choice, Yan Jun was forced to recruit an alchemist in Luo Ding City.


    Coincidentally, Ye Yuan just happened to be thinking of ways to enter the Chaotic Devil Sea at this time. After seeing the recruitment, he took the initiative to join in.


    "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you''re really remarkable! When I grow up, I want to be an alchemist like you too, and become a master looked up to by tens of thousands!" Yan Ling looked at Ye Yuan in admiration and said.


    Under Ye Yuan''s treatment, Yan Ling''s mental state was already much better. Compared to the pale and sickly appearance from before, it was simply akin to two different people.


    Ye Yuan rubbed Yan Ling''s small head fondly and said with a smile, "Ling-er is naturally gifted with exceptional intelligence. In the future, you''ll definitely be a remarkable alchemist!"


    Yan Ling''s bright eyes lit up, and she said in delight, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, are you telling the truth?"


    "Of course it''s true. When has Big Brother Ye Yuan lied to you before?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan was really not teasing Yan Ling to make happy. This little girl was of the Innate Woodspirit Physique, a natural alchemist.


    To alchemists, the most important was fire control and soul force. And the Innate Woodspirit Physique had a natural affinity with flames, possessing an inherent advantage in the path of fire control that others were unable to compare to.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    But Yan Ling''s family was just passerby in his life. He naturally would not express too much.


    However, when Yan Ling heard it, she jumped up happily. "Yay! Yay! Wait until Ling-er is as incredible as Big Brother Ye Yuan, I''ll definitely treat everybody''s sickness and not let them be tormented like Ling-er."


    Ye Yuan was slightly stunned. He did not think that a little child could actually say this kind of words.


    Although these words were very childish, it was a noble aspiration. It should also be the life-long goal of an alchemist.


    For a five-year-old little girl to be able to say this kind of words, it could be seen how painfully she was tormented these few years.


    Even Ye Yuan got a huge shock when he first laid eyes on Yan Ling. A little girl like this could actually live to five years old. This was simply a miracle.


    One had to know that an infant''s meridians had yet to form and were also very fragile.


    Although that person''s methods were extremely profound, it also virtually ruined Yan Ling''s vitality.


    Logically speaking, it was even considered a miracle for Yan Ling to be able to live for a year.


    Along with the increase in age, Yan Ling''s meridians would slowly grow. But this process intensified Yan Ling''s agony even more.


    If not for running into Ye Yuan, Yan Ling would be dead for sure.


    Even Ye Yuan was very cautious when treating Yan Ling too, not daring to make the slightest mistake.


    "Huhu, Ling-er can definitely do it!" Ye Yuan encouraged with a laugh.


    Lin Shuang patted Yan Ling''s back and said with tender lovingness, "Go find your father to play. Mother still has some words to say with your Big Brother Ye Yuan."


    "En!" Yan Ling nodded her head obediently and crawled out of the carriage.


    After Yan Ling left, Lin Shuang''s expression became solemn as she said, "Master Ye, I know that it''s rather brusque, but I still have a matter that I wish to request of you!"


    Regarding Lin Shuang''s behavior, Ye Yuan was not very surprised. He said, "Madam Yan is worried that this trip won''t go smoothly and want to entrust Ling-er to me?"


    Lin Shuang froze. She did not think that Ye Yuan actually saw through her thoughts already. She nodded her head at once and said, "The owners of those two trade caravans who went missing, us husband and wife are very familiar with them. They were both very cautious people. They''ve already traveled on this route for many years and had never gotten into any trouble. Didn''t expect that this time, they finally ��"

 860 Crows Mouth

    "Since Madam knows that this trip is dangerous, why would you still want to do this transaction with Owner Yan?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Even though travel trading like them carried their heads on their waistbands in the first place, it was actually not as dangerous as others imagine in normal times.


    Bribe what was expected, and they could live. Unless they really offended those people badly, otherwise, they would not viciously kill.


    Especially Yan Jun this kind, he was even more of a veteran of this route. His connections and resources naturally need not be said. Or else, it would be very hard to hire the Green Sea Mercenary Group too.


    If this trip was truly dangerous, Yan Jun did not have the need to wade into this messy situation.


    No matter how the goods were, it was not as valuable as one''s life either.


    Lin Shuang''s expression dimmed when she heard that and said, "Since we''re going on this trip, we naturally have a reason for making this trip. Don''t ask anymore, Master Ye."


    Ye Yuan said, "Like this huh, it was this Ye Yuan who was rash."


    Since Yan Jun was delivering these goods and even brought his whole family, this trip was definitely even more important than their lives.


    "Master Ye, Lin Shuang beseech you. If we encounter any danger, can you bring Ling-er and leave first? Don''t worry, even if us husband and wife die, we''ll also carve out a bloody road for you and Ling-er," Lin Shuang said resolutely.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please clickfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Maybe Madam is worrying too much. There wasn''t much danger this trip? But since Madam said so, this Ye will comply with your wishes."


    Innate Woodspirit Physique, that was an extremely rare spirit physique.


    Even Ye Yuan had his heart moved due to the appreciation of talent.


    Lin Shuang was overjoyed when she heard that and said, "Then Ling-er will be entrusted to Master Ye!"


    After Lin Shuang left, Ye Yuan''s expression darkened slightly too.


    Everyone''s atmosphere was rather odd. Ye Yuan had clearly detected it long ago.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan''s perception was much more acute compared to ordinary people. In truth, ever since they entered the Chaotic Devil Sea''s area, Ye Yuan had become aware that there was someone staring at them.


    Such a large caravan team entering the Chaotic Devil Sea, not being targeted by people was impossible. But the strength of the person shadowing was a bit too high.


    Plop!


    Plop!


    Two crashing sounds came from outside one after another. Following that, it became a mess.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he also got down the carriage.


    Not far away, two dead bodies laid on the ground. Liu Yusheng and Yan Jun, the two of them revealed solemn expressions on their faces.


    "Master Ye came! Quickly let Master Ye take a look. The two of them died so oddly, without any wounds on their bodies. How did they die?" seeing Ye Yuan come over, someone hurriedly said.


    When Yan Jun saw Ye Yuan, he hurriedly came forward to give a bow as well, saying, "Master Ye, these two brothers had no illnesses or diseases. Just now, they were walking perfectly fine, how come they passed away?"


    Ye Yuan did not speak. Going up and inspecting the two dead bodies a little, he said with a sigh, "The two of them were hit by other people''s ambush long ago. Only all the way until now did it show effect."


    These two people were members of the Green Sea Mercenary Group. Ye Yuan naturally would not diagnose each person once.


    Yan Jun''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "This �� These two brothers ate and lived together with us. When did they get hit by an ambush?"


    Along the way, the vast majority of the time was spent in the wilderness. Everyone was together too. To be able to ambush these two people without a sound, how formidable did their strength have to be?


    Liu Yusheng frowned and said, "These two brothers were sent out for a period of time yesterday. Is it possible that �� they were stabbed in the back by someone during that period of time?"


    This sort of delivery journey was not much different from fighting in a war. Sending two people out to scout for a path, and to see if there were any movements, this was something perfectly normal.


    But they did not expect that the excursion caused them to lose their lives.


    "These two brothers'' strengths were not weak. They were both Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. If they were ambushed by people, it''s not possible to have zero reaction, right?" Yan Jun''s expression was slightly grim as he said.


    "Only two kinds of possibility! One is that they were poisoned by people unknowingly. Second is that the strength of the person who ambushed them was way higher than theirs!"


    While talking, Liu Yusheng looked towards Ye Yuan, clearly seeking his opinion.


    Ye Yuan was the only alchemist in the trading caravans. He naturally had the greatest right to speak.


    But he saw Ye Yuan shake his head and said, "Neither!"


    Seeing everyone''s puzzlement, Ye Yuan squatted down and lightly pressed a few times on one of the dead bodies. Then his palm force abruptly spat out. A black color little thing suddenly tunneled out from the skin.


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help being struck with terror.


    At this point, how could everyone still be unaware that what made these two people lose their lives was this black color tiny thing!


    After the small black bug crawled out from the skin, it turned into a stream of light with a whiz, wanting to escape.


    "Where are you running!" But Liu Yusheng was long prepared. A burst of force suddenly fired out and just happened to score a hit on the small bug.


    Liu Yusheng extended a hand and clutched, grabbing the small bug in his hand.


    Looking closely, this small bug was merely the size of a soybean. It did not appear to have any extraordinary aspect, but it actually claimed two lives.


    "What the hell kind of bug is this? To actually be so formidable?" Liu Yusheng said with a grave face.


    "This bug is called Heart Devouring Bug, specially raised with martial artists'' blood and essence. It can bore into the body through the martial artist''s skin and arrive straight at the heart through the meridians, infesting within the martial artist''s heart and devouring the heart''s blood essence. And this process, the martial artist would only have some pain like being bitten by a mosquito; extremely hard to discover. If one were careless, they would succumb to it," Ye Yuan said.


    Everyone''s expressions changed when they heard that. This small bug was totally impossible to guard against!


    Even if the martial artist heightened their vigilance, it was also not possible to focus attention from morning till night either.


    As long as one slightly relaxed a little, wouldn''t they die without rhyme or reason?


    "This tiny bug is actually so formidable?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "It''s even more incredible than you imagine! Leader Liu, better throw it away. Your blow just now shouldn''t be sufficient to cause death! It''s currently in a state of suspended animation. When you loosen up, it might just come and give you a bite."


    Liu Yusheng''s countenance suddenly changed, his entire person nearly jumped up, and he instinctively threw away the Heart Devouring Bug in his hand.


    Right then, a cold light flashed. Ye Yuan drew his sword directly to split the Heart Devouring Bug into two-halves.


    With this, it was deader than dead.


    "Although I didn''t use full strength just now, I also used 30%-40% power. This little bug can actually still survive?" Liu Yusheng said with lingering fear in his heart.


    Ye Yuan said, "I already said, it''s even more impressive than you imagine! The most terrifying thing about Heart Devouring Bugs is not that it kills people imperceptibly, but �� Heart Devouring Bug Swarm!"


    Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Hearing the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words, the matter was not as simple as imagined!


    "This Heart Devouring Bug can not only devour blood essence, but it also has extremely high immunity towards essence energy attacks as well. Therefore, that move of Leader Liu''s just now is completely unable to cause death. Can''t feel anything with just one or two, but if the numbers go up, that would really be called truly impossible to guard against," Ye Yuan said.


    As if confirming Ye Yuan''s words, everyone suddenly heard a series of buzzing sounds.


    Immediately after, tiny black bugs that blotted out the skies and covered the earth swarmed over towards the trade caravans from all directions.

 861 Burning of the Linked Camps

    "This �� This �� This is a Heart Devouring Bug Swarm?"


    Yan Jun''s gaze revealed a look of despair. The Heart Devouring Bugs already surrounded them up. Even immortals could not possibly fly out either.


    Liu Yusheng was used to seeing grand spectacles too. But at this time, his scalp could not help tingling.


    Such numbers of Heart Devouring Bug Swarm, even if he had three heads and sixfor visiting.


    "Everybody, don''t lower your guard! These Heart Devouring Bugs chomping down on each other is not savageness being their second nature, but because there is someone controlling them to evolve! Heart Devouring Bugs are unable to take human form, but are able to evolve through devouring their companions! Along with the increase in rank, their resistance towards essence energy would also rise dramatically!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan was just like a jinx. The moment he finished explaining, after those Heart Devouring Bugs devoured many of their companions, their strength suddenly skyrocketed.


    With this, the number of Heart Devouring Bugs reduced a lot, but the quality increase by a large margin!


    Liu Yusheng''s expression changed, and he said, "Careful, they are going to attack! Kill them!"


    This time, the Heart Devouring Bugs that had a large improvement in strength bounced back with renewed effort after a failure.


    The Green Sea Mercenary Group spared no effort to control the enchantment, bombarding wantonly at the Heart Devouring Bugs. Yet, the bodies of those Heart Devouring Bugs actually just swayed a little and dropped directly on top of the enchantment.


    Hiss, hiss, hiss ��


    The Heart Devouring Bugs actually started to devour the essence energy used to set up the enchantment!


    Seeing this scene, Liu Yusheng and Yan Jun''s expression changed greatly.


    Wasn''t these Heart Devouring Bugs a little too formidable?


    Hiss, hiss, hiss ��


    More and more Heart Devouring Bugs plopped onto the enchantment. The enchantment became a black sky very quickly.


    Liu Yusheng had sweat streaming down his face from nervousness. He wanted to remove the array formation, but removing the array formation at this time was no different from seeking death.


    Boom!


    Right at this time, it was as if the entire world was lit up. A raging flame actually started burning on the enchantment.


    Buzz, buzz ��


    At this time, virtually all of the Heart Devouring Bugs were gathered on the enchantment. This fire burned extremely suddenly, burning all of the Heart Devouring Bugs all at once.


    The Heart Devouring Bugs emitted low cries, making people shudder with fear when they heard it.


    This flame was very fierce, seemingly like a bone-festering maggot. No matter how those Heart Devouring Bugs struggled, they could not break free. Finally, they turned to ashes.


    Even though those Heart Devouring Bugs already evolved successfully, under this flame, they did not have the slightest strength to resist.


    Liu Yusheng and Yan Jun watched this scene in a daze, both somewhat out-of-sort.


    The glow of the fire shone on their faces, radiating light, shaking people to the core.


    "E-Elder Brother Liu, was this flame �� done by your mercenary group?" Yan Jun asked slowly.


    Liu Yusheng was stunned, then immediately let out a roaring laugh as he said, "Hahaha! O-Of course! Just now, I deliberately showed weakness to the enemy. It was for the sake of drawing all of them over to round them up in one fell swoop! How is it, Owner Yan? Is this fire still passable?"


    Yan Jun nodded his head mechanically and sighed with praise, "Elder Brother Liu is indeed formidable! If we can return safely from this trip, your mercenary group''s reward will add another 30%!"


    Although Liu Yusheng did not know what was going on, this outcome was exactly when he wanted.


    This baffling fire actually directly increased their remuneration by 30%!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan just smiled slightly and did not have the intention of stepping forward to claim the credit.


    Earlier, everyone''s attention was focused on the Heart Devouring Words. He took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention and quietly infused the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame into the array formation.


    How could a Tier 7 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame be what these Heart Devouring Bugs could withstand?


    With this, it directly burned until nothing was left.


    This kind of means, only Ye Yuan could accomplish it without drawing attention as well. He was very familiar with this Spirit Profound Unity Formation. Even though it was his first time cooperating with these martial artists, it was seamless. Even Liu Yusheng did not detect it.


    "Don''t be happy too early. These Heart Devouring Bugs should be controlled by someone. Burning them down with this, the perpetrator is probably going to show up," Ye Yuan warned.

 862 Earth Carnage Proclamation Exper

    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when a man appeared in everyone''s line of sight.


    Yan Jun said with a bitter smile, "Master Ye, can we not say anymore? If you keep talking, you might provoke some kind of existence out."


    Liu Yisheng grumbled too, "Master Ye, can we keep our mouths shut for a while? Whatever you say, everything will come true. At this rate, we can forget about reaching the place for the rest of our lives."


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. Only then did he recover to his senses too and could not help saying embarrassedly, "H-Huhu, I''ll just stop talking."


    Starting from when the enemy appeared, it seemed like all of the direction of the plot was planned by Ye Yuan. And he became a seer; whatever he said, everything came true.


    Yan Jun and Liu Yusheng had clearly become aware of it already and could not help complaining to Ye Yuan.


    They naturally did not know that if it were not for Ye Yuan, they would already not have the life to complain here.


    This man who suddenly appeared had a sinister and ruthless gaze. There was even a knife scar on his face. One look and it was obvious that he was not some good person.


    But this guy was merely Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm. This made Liu Yusheng and the rest feel much more at ease.


    Against a Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Liu Yusheng sized himself up that he would not lose to anybody.


    Moreover, in his view, this man should be more formidable in controlling bugs. His combat strength should not be strong.


    "To dare burn all of my, Blood Saber Tan Si''s, Heart Devouring Bugs to death, are you all prepared for a reckoning?" the scar-faced man said in a cold voice.


    The moment these words came out, Liu Yusheng and Yan Jun''s expressions changed drastically.


    "You �� You''re the Blood Saber Tan Si who massacred Luo Ding City''s entire Zhang Family ten years ago!" Liu Yusheng was incomparably astonished. His hand holding the sword tightened unnaturally.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Clearly, this Blood Saber Tan Si''s fierce name made Liu Yusheng produce fear.


    Ye Yuan was very curious when he saw the situation too. Liu Yusheng appeared like he feared nothing and no one. He was actually so fearful of this scarred man in front of him.


    "Is this scarred man very impressive?" Ye Yuan asked a Green Sea Mercenary Group''s martial artist.


    That person''s expression was not too good as well. He said in a solemn voice, "Ten years ago, Blood Saber Tan Si was only Sixth Level Heaven Enlightenment, but massacred Luo Ding City''s entire Zhang Family of 200 over people! One has to know that the Zhang Family was a great family second to none in Luo Ding city. Just the Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realms were as many as two people. There were even several people in the Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm! Tan Si killed all of them with his strength alone. Would you say that''s impressive or not?"


    That martial artist even thought that Ye Yuan would get a huge shock after hearing it. Who knew that Ye Yuan just nonchalantly gave an ''oh,'' then there was no more follow up.


    This Tan Si should have comprehended a supreme true intent, that was why he would be so formidable.


    Now that ten years had passed, Tan Si already cultivated to Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm, his strength was bound to have scaled new heights.


    If Liu Yusheng matched up, it was indeed quite troublesome.


    Supreme true intents were not cabbages that anyone could comprehend. Although Liu Yusheng was strong, he was still a little away from comprehending a supreme true intent.


    Under the circumstances of being at the same cultivation realm, Liu Yusheng was absolutely not Tan Si''s match.


    But seeing this Tan Si also made Ye Yuan have a direct understanding of the Chaotic Devil Sea''s martial artists'' strength.


    This place was merely just at the border regions of the Chaotic Devil Sea, and there was already an expert like Tan Si. Continuing deeper, he might run into some formidable characters.


    "Heh, looks like my, Tan Si''s name, is still not weak! Since you know my name, you should know that I never leave survivors behind, right? Are you guys taking action yourselves, or are you letting me do it?" Tan Si said with a cold smile.


    Lou Yusheng''s expression changed, and he said, "We have never provoked your esteemed self. It was your esteemed self who took the initiative to control the Heart Devouring Bugs to come to attack our trade caravans. Why is there a need to be overbearing?"


    "Your meaning is that my Heart Devouring Bugs died in vain just like that? In order to groom these Heart Devouring Bugs, this Tan expended a considerable price, virtually killing off all of the people in this area. Now, you guys actually burned them to death. Could it be that you still wish to not get involved in it?" Tan Si said coldly.


    Liu Yusheng''s expression changed drastically, and he said, "This �� This area''s forces were all killed off by you?"


    Liu Yusheng was still curious. Originally, walking until this place, there should long have been people jumping out. But along the way, it was unusually peaceful.


    "What? Could it be that you still want to take revenge for them? Alright, enough crap has been said. I''ll be sending you on your way right now!"


    Tan Si made a move right away and actually did not have the slightest hesitation.


    "Into formation!"


    Liu Yusheng knew that he was not a match. With a loud cry, the Spirit Profound Unity Formation was instantly formed.


    Boom!


    A blood-colored saber light slammed onto the grand array and actually struck the enchantment until it teetered shakily. Even Liu Yusheng and the others staggered unsteadily.


    "This �� How could it be so strong?" Liu Yusheng turned pale with fright as he said.


    Just now that blow was virtually equivalent to Tan Si overpowering their entire Green Sea Mercenary Group with his strength alone!


    This kind of strength was simply what no one could ever imagine!


    Only at the Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment realm, the disparity between Liu Yusheng and Tan Si was seriously too great.


    Tan Si was also slightly surprised to see that he did not succeed in one blow and said, " I really couldn''t tell that your little mercenary group still have a bit of capability. But the next attack, you guys have to be careful!"


    Just a little surprised, that was all. No matter how powerful this Spirit Profound Unity Formation was, he, Tan Si, did not place it in his sights either.


    "Elder Brother Liu, this �� What should we do?" Yan Jun''s expression changed greatly as he said.


    Liu Yusheng''s expression was ugly to the extreme. Gritting his teeth, he said, "No other choice! This Tan Si''s fierce name is illustrious! There have never been survivors under his hands. Want to live, we can only stake everything on a single throw!"


    "Hahaha! Stake everything on a single throw? Looks like you guys have already not entered the Chaotic Devil Sea for very long. You actually don''t know that this Tan is already ranked in the latest issue of the Earth Carnage Proclamation!" said Tan Si with a laugh. It was as if Tan Si heard some ridiculous thing.


    He laughed, but the others could not laugh.


    Ye Yuan faintly revealed a surprised look too. The reputation of the Earth Carnage Proclamation, he had naturally heard before.


    This list was published by the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s Chaotic Devil Sea branch. One issue every half a year, divided into heaven and earth, two proclamations.


    What the Heaven Carnage Proclamation recorded were all Phaseless Realm martial artists. What the Earth Carnage Proclamation recorded were all Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists.


    Any martial artists who made it on the list would be people with extremely formidable martial prowess in the same realm. Facing experts in the same realm, it was virtually all instant kills!


    Every martial artist in the Chaotic Devil Sea took pride in being able to get on the heaven and earth dual proclamations.


    Just as Tan Si said, Liu Yusheng they all had already not entered the Chaotic Devil Sea for half a year and was completely unaware that Tan Si actually slaughtered his way into the Earth Carnage Proclamation within this half a year.


    Facing an expert on the Earth Carnage Proclamation, how could Liu Yusheng they all still have the mindset of getting lucky?


    More importantly, this Tan Si troublesome and ruthless, completely not giving people a way out. Even if they pleaded to him, he could not possibly let go of this group of people either.


    No wonder those trade caravans disappeared, bafflingly. With such a great malefic star around, how could they still have the possibility of surviving?


    "This time, this Tan is not going to pull any more punches! You guys will have to bring out all of your might!" Tan Si licked his lips, revealing a cruel expression.


    Clearly, the next attack would be a lightning-like blow!

 863 In High Spirits

    "Brothers! Keep your chins up! This guy isn''t easy to deal with!" Liu Yusheng said with a solemn face.


    Earth Carnage Proclamation''s expert, however seriously they took him was not being overboard.


    If he did not have the Spirit Profound Unity Formation to assist, he would definitely turn around and run right now.


    Of course, whether he could escape or not was another matter.


    The Green Sea Mercenary Group members were naturally also aware of what Earth Carnage Proclamation meant. Each and every one all plucked their spirits up 120% to deal with Tan Si''s lightning-like blow.


    For a moment, the enchantment radiated a brilliant splendor. Its power seemed to be even greater than before.


    Tan Si looked at Liu Yusheng and co.''s actions indifferently and was not anxious at all either.


    "This array formation is rather interesting. However �� want to deal with me with just the likes of it?"


    Tan Si gave a cold laugh. A short blood-colored small saber appeared in his hand.


    "Blood �� Moon �� Slash!"


    Tan Si said it word for word. A horrifying half-moon blood-colored saber light chopped down at the grand array!


    Liu Yusheng''s expression was incomparably solemn. He poured all of the essence energy in his body into the array formation without holding anything back.


    The aura of Tan Si''s move was completely different from that slash previously. The power was more than several times stronger!


    He knew that just by relying on this Spirit Profound Unity Formation, he probably could not withstand this move at all.


    But at this moment, he did not have a second option either. There was only meeting the enemy with all his power!


    But right at this time, the Spirit Profound Unity Formation erupted with rays of brilliant light once more. A stream of violent flames gushed out once again, colliding together with Tan Si''s saber light.


    Evenly matched!


    Liu Yusheng looked at this scene in front of his eyes disbelievingly. Tan Si''s saber light was actually blocked by them!


    "Wah �� Big ��"


    Yan Ling suddenly cried out, clearly very excited. But her words had yet to be uttered when she saw Ye Yuan shake his head slightly, indicating to her to not speak.


    The little girl was very sharp, and she hurriedly covered her mouth.


    "Ling-er, this is our little secret. Don''t tell others, okay." Ye Yuan transmitted.


    The little girl nodded her head excitedly, as if guarding some earth-shaking secret, exceedingly pleased with herself inwardly.


    Other people all did not notice Ye Yuan''s actions. Only Yan Ling this little girl noticed it.


    Yan Jun did not know what it meant and shouted fiercely, "Yan Ling, what are you messing around here for? Quickly go back to the carriage!"


    The lass stuck out her mouth and ran away swiftly.


    After Yan Ling left, Yan Jun let out a long sigh and said to Liu Yusheng, "Elder Brother Liu is indeed formidable. This array formation, even an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert is actually powerless against it!"


    "H-Haha! What Earth Carnage Proclamation expert! I think it''s merely nothing more than this!" Liu Yusheng said with a big laugh.


    What''s going on today? Could it be that I was performing abnormally well and made the power of the array formation rise to a greater height? Liu Yusheng thought to himself, secretly.


    One time could still be said to be a coincidence. If it was twice in a row, that it was him breaking through unknowingly!


    He was the entire array formation''s core. Only he could unleash such a swift and fierce attack.


    Tan Si''s expression was incomparably livid. He did not expect that this lousy array formation could actually block his attack.


    Especially that flame attack which suddenly appeared just now. The process from beginning to end was unbelievably intimidating. It was actually almost on par with his Blood Moon Slash!


    But he did not believe that a measly little mercenary group could possess the power to contend with him.


    If the other party really had this strength, that slash earlier would absolutely not attain that kind of an effect.


    Among these people, there must be an expert!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    It was just that this person did not want to expose himself, so he made use of Liu Yusheng''s hand to deal with him.


    Looks like earlier, it was this person taking action too. That was how it burned the Heart Devouring Bugs he nurtured painstakingly cleanly in one go.


    Tan Si looked at Liu Yusheng and said with a cold smile, "Just based on the likes of trash like you are also fit to be my opponent?"


    Liu Yusheng said without fear knowing that he had something to fall back on, "Heh, our mercenary group has never upheld individual strength! Everybody tiding over the difficult hurdles together, that''s a victory! Even if I''m not your match, you can''t do anything to us either!"


    "Leader is mighty!"


    "We''re the strongest!"


    "Leader, we love you!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Liu Yusheng''s words greatly encouraged all of the mercenary group.


    Even though it made no sense, these members were brimming with confidence at this time too. The fear towards an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert previously already melted away into thin air at present.


    An Earth Carnage Proclamation expert of the legends did not seem impossible to beat.


    Ye Yuan secretly found it hilarious in his heart. This guy really knew how to take the opportunity to win over people''s hearts.


    But to be able to make the Green Sea Mercenary Group cultivate the Spirit Profound Unity Formation to this sort of extent, this Liu Yusheng was indeed not someone simple.


    If not for running into an expert like Tan Si, there should not be too much of a problem for Liu Yusheng to go in and out of the Chaotic Devil Sea''s border-regions.


    Tan Si was angered until his face turned black. The scar on his face appeared even more savage.


    But Tan Si did not quibble over anything. At the Chaotic Devil Sea, this kind of place, strength was all of the capital to talk.


    He could not do anything to this mercenary group. Saying any other big talk was also of no help to the matter.


    His gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the mercenary group, wanting to find that hidden expert.


    When his gaze swept to Ye Yuan, it paused for a bit. So many years of lingering between life and death made his strength improve by a large margin. It also made his perception become extremely keen.


    When Tan Si first laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he felt that Ye Yuan was different from the rest.


    But very soon, he himself denied his thinking.


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was too low, and his age was too young as well. It was completely impossible to be that hidden expert.


    But apart from Ye Yuan, he could not find any other suspicious person at all.


    "What are you looking at? Are you fighting or not? If you''re not fighting, we still have to hurry on with our journey!" Liu Yusheng said haughtily.


    Tang Shi gave Liu Yusheng a glance and said with a cold snort, "Consider yourselves lucky today. Pray that you don''t land in my hands!"


    Finished talking, Tan Si''s figure moved, and he vanished before everyone''s eyes.


    "Hahaha! An Earth Carnage Proclamation''s expert was sent packing by our Green Sea Mercenary Group! Returning to Luo Ding City this time, our Green Sea Mercenary Group''s status will probably become transcendent!" Liu Yusheng said with a big laugh.


    Yan Jun also clasped his hands and congratulated him,"Congratulations, Elder Brother Liu! For Elder Brother Liu to be able to drive an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert away, the Green Sea Mercenary Group is fully deserving of being the number one mercenary group in Luo Ding City! From hereafter, no one else will be able to surpass!"


    "Haha, that doesn''t matter! This time, it''s still all thanks to Owner Yan. If not for you hiring us this time, we wouldn''t have this chance" Liu Yusheng was unbelievably high-spirited and enthusiastic at this time.


    Earth Carnage Proclamation''s expert. They were all legendary existences to them.


    One had to know that somewhere as large as the Chaotic Devil Sea, how many millions of Heaven Enlightenment Realm experts there were?


    But the Earth Carnage Proclamation merely just recorded 500 people!


    These 500 people were the most powerful existences among Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists.


    Rumors had it that Earth Carnage Proclamation experts crossing realms to defeat ordinary Phaseless Realms was nothing difficult. From this, one could tell just how formidable the strengths of Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were!


    To be able to drive away such an expert, it was sufficient to let the Green Sea Mercenary Group become famous all over the world!


    "That �� Not that I want to pour cold water, that person probably ��" Ye Yuan''s words were spoken halfway.


    He was stopped by Yan Jun.

 864 Suddenly Turning Back

    "My Master Ye, don''t make any more divine prophecies!" Yan Jun was filled with terror after the incident.


    The moment Ye Yuan spoke just now, it immediately gave everyone a huge fright. Said whatever, it would come. If Ye Yuan''s crow mouth kept on talking, they would even worry whether or not it would draw a Deity Realm powerhouse over.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan blinked his eyes twice, indicating he would not talk anymore. Only then did Yan Jun heave a sigh in relief and let go of his hand.


    Ye Yuan said with an innocent face, "I was only warning you guys a little out of goodwill. Was it necessary?"


    "Necessary!" Yan Jun and Liu Yusheng cried out in one voice.


    Scaring away Tan Si, the party finally set off on the journey once again.


    The experts in this region were basically all killed off by Tan Si. Along the way, it became much more relaxed instead. There was not even a single person picking a quarrel.


    And thanks to Ye Yuan''s final sentence not coming out of his mouth, that Tan Si actually did not come to find trouble either.


    But along the way, Liu Yusheng kept his spirit up 120%, so as to respond to Tan Si''s ambush.


    Although Ye Yuan''s words were not said finish, he took it to heart.


    Dealing with Tan Si, this kind of expert, he did not dare to loosen up at all either.


    If there were no Spirit Profound Unity Formation, he would definitely be instantly killed effortlessly.


    But no idea why, Tan Si never appeared again either.


    Actually, it was not that Tan Si really did not appear before. He had always been following nearby the trade caravans. There was even one time where he wanted to sneak attack. But each sneak attack, he would always be scared away by a faintly discernible divine sense.


    His actions could not hide from Ye Yuan''s eyes and ears at all. Ye Yuan only warned him not to act rashly without careful thought with divine sense.


    Only then did Tan Si confirm that there was absolutely an expert who''s strength was a level higher than his within these trade caravans.!


    The other party did not wish to expose his identity, that was why he would use this kind of method to warn him. If he really had no sense to appreciate favors, the other party would likely really make a move to kill.


    Tan Si killed people like flies, but it did not mean that he did not fear death.


    Throwing an egg against a rock, this sort of thing, he would not do it.


    Even though Ye Yuan detested Tan Si''s killing on sight habit, he was not a pedantic person either. People like Tan Si were too abundant in the Chaotic Devil Sea, completely could not be killed finish.


    Since Tan Si was sensible, then Ye Yuan would not be bothered to make a move on him.


    After this, Ye Yuan used Fiery to create a clone to leave in the carriage, but he himself entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate.


    Speaking of which, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm increase these two years was rather rapid. But concepts comprehension speed slowed down.


    It was hard for there to be leisure time. Ye Yuan naturally could not waste it.


    Inside the Vast Heaven Stele''s consciousness space, Ye Yuan''s brows were furrowed tightly, muttering to himself, "This Scorching Supreme True Intent''s final step, how should I cross over? No wonder Spirit Bristle that fellow is so powerful. This Scorching True Intent is indeed not that easy to comprehend!"


    Ye Yuan already reached the final step of comprehending the Scorching Supreme True Intent.


    That feeling was clearly right within touch already. But Ye Yuan kept failing to grasp that tiny bit.


    Legends had it that when the Scorching Supreme True Intent was cultivated to the extreme, it could incinerate myriad life, invincible. It could be seen from this how powerful this supreme true intent was.


    But the more powerful the thing, the harder it naturally was to comprehend as well.


    Ye Yuan had advanced on this path for many years and borrowed the help of the Vast Heaven Stele before reaching his present boundary.


    But wanting to break through this final hurdle was not that easy.


    Inside this consciousness space, Ye Yuan had suffered goodness knows how much pain. But this final step, he kept failing to see hope.


    Ye Yuan suddenly smacked his head and said regretfully, "Why am I so stupid! The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s own martial techniques originally contains fire attribute true intent inside. Spirit Bristle that fellow also trained in the martial techniques before comprehending supreme true intent. I insist on ignoring the shortcut and not take it, isn''t that utterly foolish?"


    It was also that Ye Yuan''s comprehension abilities were too high. Along the way, the majority of the time was him comprehending supreme true intents himself, and creating martial techniques himself.


    Towards the end, he rarely used the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s own cultivation method anymore.


    Once this kind of habit formed, it would form a serious stagnation, making Ye Yuan disdainful to learn the good points of other martial techniques.


    Little did he realize that future generations all stood on the shoulders of predecessors.


    As a divine art, how could the power of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s own martial technique be ordinary?


    Training this series of martial techniques to the great circle of perfection, Ye Yuan''s Scorching True Intent would be achieved naturally!


    Going along with the martial techniques to comprehend a supreme true intent was much easier than comprehending it out of thin air.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath. His consciousness withdrew out of the Vast Heaven Stele, and he started pondering about the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s cultivation method.


    Starting from the first move, Absolute Yang Finger, Ye Yuan slowly tidied up this set of martial techniques'' sequence of ideas.


    With Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards the Scorching True Intent and Transmission True Intent presently, he had a brand new understanding when he comprehended these martial techniques anew.


    As a set of divine art, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was originally passed down in the same vein. Its martial techniques were naturally passed down linearly too.


    Ye Yuan recalled his comprehensions towards true intent and discovered that this series of martial techniques followed along the true intent''s development train of thoughts and created this set of cultivation method.


    "The fourth level, Heavenly Flame Palm!"


    "The fifth level, Cloud Converging Fire!"


    "The sixth level, uh �� Void Fire Mark!"


    Ye Yuan discovered to his shock that cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s martial techniques to the sixth level already reached the level of supreme true intent!


    Didn''t that mean that as long as he cultivated according to the prescribed routine, he would have already comprehended the supreme true intent now?


    This discovery made Ye Yuan smile bitterly to no end. It was really sitting on a treasure mountain but knowing it!


    The final three levels of martial techniques, each level corresponded to three stages of supreme true intent.


    As long as Ye Yuan fully comprehended the final profound meaning of the Nine Suns Burning Heaven, grasping ninth-stage Scorching Supreme True Intent would naturally be nothing difficult.


    Actually, this really could not be blamed on Ye Yuan. His comprehensions in Sword Dao was too strong, resulting in the martial techniques he created to be stronger than the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s moves.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan''s comprehensions into the Sword Dao''s supreme true intent already reached fifth-stage!


    "Suddenly turning back, but that person is under that waning light! I rushed forward blindly, but neglected the scenery behind me!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    No one would not not err. It was impossible for Ye Yuan too.


    Ye Yuan was too confident in his comprehension abilities. But he never thought that his comprehensions into the Martial Dao had merely just started for 10 years.


    Without the accumulation of time, how could these extremely profound supreme true intents be so easy to comprehend?


    It was true that the Spirit Bristle Divine King was powerful. But the time he spent immersed in this Dao was what Ye Yuan could not catch up to even if he whipped his horse!


    Thinking through this link, Ye Yuan no longer hesitated and started cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s auxiliary martial techniques anew.


    Ye Yuan did not slack off. He started cultivating from the first level''s Absolute Yang Finger.


    This was a complete martial technique system. Missing any links might cause an enormous influence on the comprehension at the back.


    With Ye Yuan''s experience and knowledge, he naturally would not make mistakes here.


    But when he truly started to cultivate this martial technique, he still discovered that he thought of things too simply.A line from a poem

 865 Second Supreme True Intent!

    The martial techniques in the first few levels, Ye Yuan accomplished with high proficiency. He only spent less than two days to settle it.


    But when he reached the sixth level, Ye Yuan''s speed dropped all of a sudden.


    Void Fire Mark this martial technique was the breakthrough point of the supreme true intent; very hard to train.


    Ye Yuan spent half a month''s time before barely managing to train it to minor accomplishment. It was still a step away from comprehending the supreme true intent.


    But cultivating the Void Fire Mark corroborated with Ye Yuan''s own comprehensions previously. It still let him have a deeper understanding of the Scorching Supreme True Intent.


    "There''s still one last chaos gem. Looks like wihout using this chaos gem, I''ll probably not be able to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent within a short time!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    The chaos gems extorted from Long Teng, Ye Yuan was finally going to use them up as well.


    Ye Yuan was very decisive and did not have much hesitation before directly firing the chaos gem into the Vast Heaven Stele!


    Strike while the iron was hot. Ye Yuan felt that he was only a step away from the supreme true intent already. Fine steel needed to be used on the edge of a knife. This chaos gem, nothing to feel unwillingness to use about.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan knew that in the Chaotic Devil Sea, only by having powerful strength could he ensure his own safety.


    Different from other places, the Chaotic Devil Sea this sort of place, martial artists that comprehended supreme true intents could be found everywhere. When Ye Yuan faced them, he would not have too much advantage.


    Therefore, comprehension of the second supreme true intent, it was imperative to him.


    Next was the dreary martial technique training.


    Each day, Ye Yuan would train according to the Void Fire Mark''s series of moves. This process was extremely dreary, but Ye Yuan found joy in it and never got tired.


    But the effects of focusing on cultivation was also apparent. After one month, Ye Yuan''s Void Fire Mark was finally cultivated to major accomplishment!


    But this was still lacking some level of attainment from comprehending the supreme true intent.


    Ye Yuan was certain that as long as he cultivated to the great circle of perfection, he could definitely comprehend the supreme true intent!


    The following three months, he still cultivated without knowing fatigue. Ye Yuan practically did not have any rest time, his state as if he went mad.


    Finally, one day after three months, a transparent imprint was fired by Ye Yuan into the void!


    A look of pleasant surprise surfaced on Ye Yuan''s face as he said, "Finally done! Scorching Supreme True Intent, indeed unbelievably powerful! This has merely just broken through first-stage, and it''s likely going to be even stronger than my third-stage Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword!"


    This Void Fire Mark being cultivated will show a brilliant yellow color mark when it just started. When cultivated to major accomplishment, it was a light-yellow color mark.


    And the transparent imprint launched was precisely the hallmark of the Void Fire Mark being cultivated to the great circle of perfection!


    Ye Yuan also relied on this move to finally comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent!


    Starting from stepping onto the Nine Heavens Road until now, roughly ten year''s time had passed. Ye Yuan finally comprehended a second supreme true intent. The agitation in his heart could be imagined.


    This Scorching Supreme True Intent''s comprehension was far from as quick as the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword. Ye Yuan also sunk enormous effort into this path.


    Just inside this Vast Heaven Stele''s space, Ye Yuan was frozen to death God knows how many times.


    Even though it was not a true death, that kind of feeling felt like he had experienced it. People lacking willpower, just the agony was sufficient to drive them crazy, let alone talk about comprehending.


    Now, the painstaking efforts Ye Yuan put in finally had a return!


    This second supreme true intent was a milestone success to Ye Yuan!


    Because there were many martial artists able to comprehend a supreme true intent, but comprehending two supreme true intents, that was in the minority.


    No other reason, there was a limit to a person''s strength.


    A person''s energy was limited. Comprehending a supreme true intent already expended tremendous energy. How could there still be people with the energy to go comprehend a second one?


    To be able to comprehend a second supreme true intent and achieve the Divine King Realm, not one was not a major power of the Divine Realm with strength far exceeding those in the same rank.


    If the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword''s comprehension still had some elements of being opportunistic, then this Scorching Supreme True Intent was comprehended by Ye Yuan little by little indisputably!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    This process, he only spent ten year''s time!


    If the Spirit Bristle Divine King knew that Ye Yuan only used ten years to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent, he would definitely be shocked until his jaw hit the ground.


    "There''s still two months more. I wonder what kind of power will combining the Scorching Supreme True Intent with the spirit rank dragon wave together produce?" Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.


    Although first-stage Scorching True Intent''s power was strong, it clearly had not met Ye Yuan''s requirements yet.


    Back then, Ye Yuan carried out a fusion between the Scorching True Intent and dragon wave and created the Flame Movement Carnage.


    But the power of Flame Movement Carnage was already inadequate right now. When Ye Yuan faced the enemies currently, the majority of the circumstances was to directly use the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Now that he comprehended the supreme true intent, fusing the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and the Scorching Supreme True Intent, the power would definitely be rather impressive!


    These remaining two months time, Ye Yuan planned on doing this thing.


    Without a doubt, the difficulty level of fusing the Scorching Supreme True Intent and the scorching supreme true intent Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was goodness knows how many times higher compared to Flame Movement Carnage.


    The fusion before could only be treated as a reference as well.


    But with the experience of Flame Movement Carnage, Ye Yuan had a direction to work towards, which was resonance!


    Back then when he merged the Scorching True Intent and Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan only used the Flame Movement Carnage after blasting out countless fists and finding the resonant point of the true intent and fleshy body as well.


    What he wanted to do presently was to find the resonant point of the supreme true intent and spirit rank dragon wave!


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes and started to feel, seeking out the breakthrough point of these two kinds of completely different attributes.


    Merging supreme true intent and fleshy body martial techniques, probably only Ye Yuan this sort of freak could be capable of it too.


    Ordinary Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, forget about supreme true intent, their fleshy bodies were probably not even one-in-a-thousandth as powerful as Ye Yuan''s.


    But this process did not make smooth progress. After two months, Ye Yuan still did not find the resonant point, but the effects of the chaos gem were already over.


    In this period of time, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm also quietly broke through to Second Level Heaven Enlightenment.


    Ye Yuan had no choice but to put away his emotions and return to reality.


    "Master Ye, we''ve reached Cloud Transient City!" outside the carriage, Yan Jun''s very polite voice called out to Ye Yuan.


    "Got it!" Ye Yuan responded coolly, his voice somewhat hoarse.


    But the moment he got off the carriage, it made Yan Jun jump in fright, "Master Ye, what happened to you?"


    The current Ye Yuan had deep sunken eyes and a sallow face, clearly very haggard. It was as if he suffered a serious illness.


    Although just 20 days passed in total in reality, to Ye Yuan, more than half a year had already passed.


    This half a year, he was virtually cultivating frenziedly and did not really rest.


    Relaxing all at once currently, Ye Yuan''s entire person had indescribable weariness.


    "No worries. I''m cultivating a divine soul cultivation method. My soul force was excessively exhausted. Rest for a while, and I''ll be fine." Ye Yuan waved his hands and casually made up a story.


    This Cloud Transient City was the group of people''s destination. It was a most out-of-the-way city in the Chaotic Devil Sea.

 866 Missing Ling-er

    In the Chaotic Devil Sea, even if people were in a city, drawing swords at a word of disagreement was rather commonly seen as well.


    As long as it was not a massacre, no one would care about you.


    Therefore, people without strength would all have to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.


    There were no rules to talk about here. Strength was the highest for everything!


    In order to survive, martial artists naturally formed factions and gangs. It was very hard to survive here all alone.


    Cloud Transient City was just a small city. The population was not many.


    This place was obviously not Ye Yuan''s end point. His true objective was the core of the Chaotic Devil Sea: the Slaughter Steppes!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    And Cloud Transient city had a transmission array that led to the Slaughter Steppes!


    Apart from the transmission array, one still required another item to enter the Slaughter Steppes. This was also one of the objectives of Ye Yuan coming here.


    This sleep, Ye Yuan slept until the skies turned dark and he blacked out, all the way past the third day before he woke up.


    The moment he went out, Ye Yuan discovered that the atmosphere was not quite right.


    "Owner Yan, you guys �� What''s going on?"


    Yan Jun''s expression was dark like water. He sat there alone and kept silent. In his eyes actually faintly contained tears. This made Ye Yuan greatly astonished.


    Although Yan Jun''s martial strength was not very great, he was absolutely a tough guy in Ye Yuan''s impression. What matter could actually make him sit alone here quietly with tears in his eyes?


    Yan Jun did not hear Ye Yuan''s words at all, still staring blankly there.


    "Owner Yan?" Ye Yuan went over and lightly touched Yan Jun a bit.


    Yan Jun abruptly startled awake and said, "M-Master Ye! Y-You woke up?"


    Yan Jun had an appearance like he had lost his soul, making Ye Yuan produce a bad premonition.


    "Owner Yan, what''s with you? Where''s the rest? Where''s madam and Ling-er?" Ye Yuan asked.


    The moment Yan Jun heard, tears flowed down uncontrollably as he choked sobbingly, "Ling-er she �� she ��"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said, "What happened to Ling-er?"


    "This morning, we went to handover the goods. Shuang-er and Ling-er stayed behind in the inn. Shuang-er just left for a short while, but I didn''t expect �� didn''t expect ��"


    Saying until here, Yan Jun choked and really could not continue anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s expression fell slightly, and he said, "Ling-er went missing?"


    Yan Jun nodded his head with difficulty, with great sorrow.


    Several years ago, he lost his daughter in this Cloud Transient City too. The result was that he gave out all of his assets before barely managing to preserve his daughter''s life.


    Since then, Yan Jun earned money to support his family desperately as well, in order to treat the recurring chronic illness on his daughter.


    He did not think that after a time interval of several years, the exact same scene actually played out once more.


    Toward Yan Ling this little girl, Ye Yuan quite adored her too. He did not think that she would actually have so many setbacks in her life. This made his feelings of compassion stir.


    Being silent for a moment, Ye Yuan asked, "Owner Yan, don''t panic first. Tell me about the situation at that time."


    But Yan Jun shook his hand and said, "No special situation either. Shuang-er just left for a brief moment, then when she returned to the house, Ling-er was gone. Virtually �� Virtually identical with the last time! I already requested for Elder Brother Liu they all to go out and search, but half a day has already passed. There''s no news at all."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he asked, "Exactly the same as last time? Do you know who ambushed Ling-er the last time or not?"


    Yan Jun shook his head again and said, "We didn''t see that person''s true face at all. He just makes us deliver the earth essence crystals to the designated point. We heard a baby''s crying sound and went to find Ling-er. Turning around to take a look, the earth essence crystals were long gone without a trace already."


    Hearing Yan Jun''s description, Ye Yuan was lost in thought.


    The previous time, the other party was clearly already planning on killing the hostage. It was just that the other party did not expect Ling-er''s life was actually so tenacious, forcefully holding on for several years, resulting in being thoroughly treated by Ye Yuan in the end.


    If it was just kidnapping and blackmailing, the other party''s methods would probably be cut from the same cloth as last time.


    Right while they were talking, Liu Yusheng walked in hastily.


    "Owner Yan, my brothers have already inquired around and don''t have Ling-er''s news. But ��" Liu Yusheng hesitated.


    Yan Jun froze and suddenly said, "But what? Could it be ��"


    Liu Yusheng nodded his head and handed over a slip of paper. Yan Jun''s expression could not help changing drastically when he received it and looked.


    Ye Yuan saw it clearly from behind. The slip of paper wrote: ''Tonight at midnight, warehouse north of the city. One billion earth essence crystals. Only Yan Jun is permitted to come alone. Hand over the money in one hand, the person in the other!''


    Indeed, the same pattern from the method last time.


    It was as if someone had purposely eyed Yan Jun, to actually use the same method on him twice!


    Without a doubt, this was done by the same person.


    Ye Yuan could also tell from that skill to damage the meridians that the other party was absolutely a martial artist with very formidable strength.


    Ye Yuan quietly withdrew out of the crowd and came onto the streets.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan played with a short incense in his hand as he said smilingly, "I didn''t think that I''d have to use you again."


    What Ye Yuan was holding in his hand was precisely the Soul Guiding Incense used to find Lu-er back then. But the Soul Guiding Incense he refined this time was a much higher quality compared to that time. Its perception toward soul force was also much sharper.


    He slowly came to Ling-er''s room, pushed open the door, and discovered that Lin Shuang was currently inside holding an item of Ling-er''s in a trace.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said to Lin Shuang, "Don''t need to be sad anymore, Madam. I have a way to find Ling-er."


    Lin Shuang was originally ashen-faced; virtually without any signs of life in her eyes. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, she jumped up at once and grabbed Ye Yuan''s arm, looking as if she was crazy as she said, "Master Ye, you �� is what you said true?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Actually, I''ve had some surmises already. It''s just that I still need to confirm it a little. Madam, do you have any clothing items that Ling-er frequently wears? Lend it to me to use."


    Lin Shuang''s eyes finally shone with life as she hurriedly nodded and said, "Just a minute, Master Ye. I''ll go get it for you right away!"


    Before long, Lin Shuang brought over a small and exquisite piece of clothing. Ye Yuan directly ignited it together with the Soul Guiding Incense


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s heart stirred slightly, and Fiery appeared in front of him.


    "Fiery, you follow the Soul Guiding Incense and see where they are hiding Ling-er."


    "Yes, Big Brother!"


    Fiery received the order and turned into a wisp of fire, following a strand of fragrance out of the room.


    Seeing this scene, Lin Shuang was dumbfoundedly shocked.


    After Fiery left, Ye Yuan said to Lin Shuang, "Actually, I believe you and Owner Yan have some conjectures in your hearts too, right? Except, that person, you feel that you can''t afford to provoke, so you weren''t willing to think too much. Rescuing Ling-er this time, you and Owner Yan shouldn''t get involved in this messy situation anymore. Come up with other means of livelihood outside the Chaotic Devil Sea."


    Ye Yuan was deeply aware of the Chaotic Devil Sea''s bloodiness and cruelty. Without absolute martial strength, there was completely no way of ensuring one''s family''s safety.


    This kind of travel trading method of earning a living seemed like exorbitant profits, but actually, it was merely just money-making machines being scattered and raised.


    The power over life and death was still controlled in other people''s hands.


    Forget about Yan Jun, even Liu Yusheng this kind of veteran was not possibly the other party''s match.

 867 Challenge

    In a hidden venue in the city, three men were currently watching over a little girl.


    One of them was wearing light armor; he was tall and well-built. Clearly, he was the leader of these three people.


    "Milord, this lass isn''t well-behaved. Let us take good care of her!"


    One of the martial artists said as he threw a slap on the little girl''s face with a smack. The little girl did not dare to struggle anymore after getting hit. But that stubborn gaze was exhibited in its entirety.


    That lass that person was talking about was precisely the Yan Ling who went missing.


    Yan Ling was currently tied up on a chair, struggling endlessly. She glared at the three people furiously, filled with resentment.


    Being kidnapped the last time, she was still young and did not feel anything at all.


    But the agony of these few years made her life worse than living hell.


    This point also made Yan Ling much more mature compared to those of the same age.


    Therefore, being kidnapped by these people, Yan Ling was extremely disgusted by them.


    That person wearing light armor looked at Yan Ling, his eyes filled with doubt as he muttered, "Back then, I clearly used the Pulse Severing Divine Palm to sever this girlie''s meridians. I didn''t expect that after a time interval of several years, she actually recovered! Truly inconceivable!"


    The other two people''s expressions changed, and they said, "No way, right? Milord''s Pulse Severing Divine Palm''s power is incredible. Forget about a little girl, even a battle-seasoned martial artist can''t withstand it either! How can this girlie possibly recover? Could Your Excellency have �� identified wrongly?"


    That person waved his hand and said, "Maybe I''ll recognize this girlie wrongly, but her parents, I won''t identify them wrongly. The outstanding few people who come to Cloud Transient City for travel-trade, I know them like the palm of my hands. Yan Jun is the most outstanding among them. Back then, that deal virtually squeezed dry all of his savings. I didn''t think that after several years, he has accumulated considerable wealth again."


    "Heh heh, so what? Aren''t they just pigs that Your Excellency is rearing? Butchering once they get fat? With this girlie here, will we still fear that Yan Jun not submitting obediently?" said a martial artist.


    "Huhu, that''s true! All thanks to these fat pigs that I am able to have my present strength! Now, this seat is only a step away from Phaseless Realm!" said the middle-aged man in light armor said.


    "Congratulations, milord! Congratulations, milord! Milord is an expert on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. Once you enter the Phaseless Realm, your future prospects will be boundless!"


    "At that time, naturally you won''t go without benefits!"


    When the two people heard this, they were both beside themselves with joy. That middle-aged man in light armor was actually an expert on the Earth Carnage Proclamation!


    One of the underlings bowed his body and asked, "Milord, how to dispose of this girlie?"


    The middle-aged man in light armor said with a cruel smile, "The last time, Pulse Severing Divine Palm didn''t kill her. I don''t believe that it can''t kill her this time too! This time, I''m going to sever all of her meridians. See how she still survives!"


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    "Milord, this subordinate has an important matter to report!"


    Right then, vigorously knocking sounds suddenly sounded out outside the door.


    The middle-aged man in light armor furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Come in!"


    A subordinate pushed the door and entered. Coming in front of the middle-aged man in light armor all in a fluster, he said, "Milord, things are bad. Somebody �� somebody wants to challenge you!"


    The eyebrows of the middle-aged man in light armor raised up, and he laughed loudly as he said, "Challenge me? Hahaha! It''s really been so many years since anyone dared to seek death like this! Doesn''t he know that this Cloud Transient City''s City Lord is an expert ranked 463 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation?"


    "This �� That person challenging is merely a Second Level Heaven Enlightenment young man," said the subordinate after he hesitated for a moment.


    "What? A Second Level Heaven Enlightenment dares to challenge our Lord Xie Ying? Is this someone who''s complaining that his lifespan is too long and is tired of living?"


    "Haha! What a joke! Even though Cloud Transient City is a small city, Lord Xie Ying''s reputation is known far and wide! This punk is definitely a moron! As long as one slightly inquires about it a little, they wouldn''t do this sort of foolish thing either!"


    The two subordinates seemed to have heard a very hilarious joke, both laughing their heads off.


    Including Xie Ying himself, gave a slight smile too and said to the three subordinates, "You guys watch the person carefully. I''ll go and chop off that punk''s dog-head first!"


    "Yes, Your Excellency!" the three people voiced their assent.


    The Chaotic Devil Sea''s rule was that anyone could challenge the city lord. As long as one had the strength to kill the city lord, they could take his place.


    Moreover, as long as someone challenged, the city lord must accept the challenge, all the way until one party was killed!


    Logically speaking, under this sort of rule, the city lord being replaced should be frequent occurrences.


    But in reality, Cloud Transient City''s City Lord Xie Ying had already been in this position for over a decade.


    When he assumed the position, there were naturally quite a few people who were unconvinced and issued challenges to him. But in the end, all of them were killed by him without any exception.


    Gradually, people who dared to challenge him became lesser and lesser.


    And along with the passing of time, Xie Ying''s strength became increasingly stronger. All the way until later, Xie Ying became an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert.


    Ever since then, no one dared to challenge him anymore.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Today was indeed out of the blue; it was the first time in several years!


    After Xie Ying left, the three underlings all did not detect a small lotus flower growing out from the corner of a wall.


    ...


    Ye Yuan sat in front of the City Lord Manor quietly, closing his eyes to meditate, quietly waiting for Xie Ying''s arrival.


    The one challenging Xie Ying was none other than precisely Ye Yuan.


    Out of Lin Shuang''s expectations, Ye Yuan did not go and rescue Ling-er right away. Instead, he came straight to the City Lord Manor and issued a challenge to Xie Ying in front of everyone.


    "What on earth is Master Ye selling in his gourd? He''s merely an alchemist. Why �� Why did he go and challenge City Lord Xie?"


    "City Lord Xie is an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert. Challenging with his strength, isn''t that seeking death?"


    "Didn''t he say he was helping Owner Yan find his daughter previously? How did he search until he came here to challenge?"


    The Green Sea Mercenary Group and Yan Jun husband and wife were all here spectating. The Green Sea Mercenary Group''s members were all gesticulating, clearly very perplexed by Ye Yuan''s actions.


    Lin Shuang grabbed her husband''s hand tightly and said with an anxious look on her face, "Husband, Master Ye must have guessed something and wants to give vent on Ling-er''s behalf. But �� But ��"


    Yan Jun''s expression was very ugly. Although he had never met with Xie Ying before, to be able to abduct Yan Ling away in Cloud Transient City noiselessly, who else could there be other than Xie Ying?


    City Lord Xie Ying was clearly the greatest suspect.


    But even if he knew, he was powerless to do anything as well. Earth Carnage Proclamation''s No. 463 expert was totally not what he could deal with, let alone that the City Lord Manor still had many experts.


    Yan Jun initially already resigned himself to his fate and brought out all of his savings over these past few years for Xie Ying.


    What he did not expect was that Ye Yuan actually ran out and challenged City Lord Xie Ying on his own!


    Finally, Yan Jun could not endure it anymore and came in front of Ye Yuan to urge, "Master Ye, I know that you have good intentions. But Xie Ying is an Earth Carnage Proclamation''s veteran expert. His strength is unfathomable. Challenging the city lord, one has to determine who lives and who dies! You doing this for Ling-er, us husband and wife will have a guilty conscious for the rest of our lives!"

 868 Absolute Kill Token!

    "Master Ye, us husband and wife are already endlessly grateful to you for treating Ling-er. But this Xie Ying, he really cannot be provoked! Quickly go now, leave Cloud Transient City, the further you go, the better!" Lin Shuang urged as well.


    But her voice had yet to fade when a middle-aged man wearing light armor who was flying in air landed in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Hahaha, without my agreement, Xie Ying''s, even if you guys want to leave, you can''t go either! Since you put forth the challenge, you got to have an awareness of death! Go? Where can you guys go to?" Xie Ying said arrogantly.


    When Yan Jun saw Xie Ying, his eyes wanted to spew fire. He could not endure it anymore and said, "Xie Ying! Was it you who abducted Ling-er away?"


    Yan Jun originally thought that Xie Ying would deny it. He did not expect that Xie Ying would actually laugh out loud and say, "So what if yes? Are the earth essence crystals I want prepared? Don''t blame me for not warning you. Even though there''s a fool who''s challenging this seat, once the time is up, I''ll send your daughter on her way all the same. Don''t think that this punk can buy time."


    Xie Ying admitting it openly made Yan Jun even more enraged. If not for being apprehensive that the other party''s strength was too formidable, he would really want to go up and risk his life at this instant.


    "You! You and I have no grudges, why do you want to target me time and again!" Yan Jun denounced indignantly.


    Xie Ying looked at Yan Jun pitifully and said in disdain, "Why? Hahaha, what a joke! Don''t you know what kind of place you''re in right now? This place is the Chaotic Devil Sea! In this Cloud Transient City, I''m the king! Everything of yours is all mine! What does some mere earth essence crystals count as? I''m not targeting you, but targeting you all, these travel-trade merchants! You guys make use of the Chaotic Devil Sea''s resources to make staggering profits. Since that''s the case, I let you all amass, wait until you''re fat, then slaughter and eat. What''s wrong with it?"


    This kind of excuse might be very preposterous in the outside world.


    But in this Cloud Transient City, it was not very hard to understand.


    This point, it could be seen from the expressions of the people surrounding and watching.


    They did not cast over very pitying looks towards Yan Jun. More of it was indifference and contempt.


    In here, one could only end up as lambs that other people talked about without strength!


    In here, there had never been a reason to talk about!


    In this Cloud Transient City, Xie Ying''s strength was the most powerful, so whatever he did was right!


    The reason why he employed kidnapping actions was just in order to not stir the grass and frighten away the snake, to let these merchants have some more time to accumulate.


    Yan Jun was angered until he trembled all over, but his eyes revealed a look of despair.


    He originally thought that earth essence crystals could settle everything. However, he was wrong!


    For so many years, he was merely a lamb that others let loose to rear. It was just that he, this lamb, was fatter; and he was getting slaughtered by Xie Ying for the second time!


    "You �� Whatever you have, come at me! Why do you want to deal with a little girl without a weapon in her hand! Back then, Ling-er was still a baby in swaddling clothes!" Lin Shuang trembled as she said.


    Xie Ying pursed his mouth and said scornfully, "Baby? In the Chaotic Devil Sea, not having strength is the original sin! There is no pity here, only strength! You all have stayed in the Chaotic Devil Sea for so many years and actually can''t even see through this point? Fools!"


    "You! You devil! Elder Brother Liu, I give all of my assets to you! I request you to help kill this fiend for me!" Yan Jun could no longer put up with it anymore and wanted to use all of his wealth to gamble for Xie Ying''s life.


    Yan Jun himself was a Heaven Enlightenment Realm too. But in front of Xie Ying, he was too weak!


    The two of them, husband and wife, attacking together could not possibly be Xie Ying''s match either. They could only use money to do things.


    Liu Yusheng''s expression was very ugly. He did not think that Ling-er''s disappearance would actually involve Xie Ying.


    Although he scared away Tan Si using the Spirit Profound Unity Formation previously, facing the Xie Ying whose strength was a level higher, Liu Yusheng hesitated.


    "Owner Yan, not that I, Liu Yusheng, cravenly cling to life instead of braving death! It''s just that �� I''m really not his match! Your money, if I take this job, I have the life to earn, but I don''t have the life to spend!" Liu Yushen said helplessly.


    The moment these words were uttered, Yan Jun and Lin Shuang, all of the pair''s strength seemed to be drained, unwittingly falling back two steps.


    The Green Sea Mercenary Group was his greatest reliance. But even Liu Yusheng was not willing to make a move. What hope did he still have?


    Xie Ying was even more incomparably proud of himself when he saw the situation and said with a loud laugh, "I already said, this Cloud Transient City is my world, Xie Ying''s! What can a tiny little mercenary group do to me? Humph! If you''re sensible, get the money ready and send it to the location. Perhaps, you can still see that cute daughter of yours! However, wait until I dispose of this trash first before talking! How many years has it been? How many years has it been since anyone has dared to challenge this seat?!"


    Xie Ying looked at Ye Yuan with a glimmering gaze, looking in high spirits.


    Ever since he ascended to the Earth Carnage Proclamation, no one challenged him. He did not expect that today, there was actually someone who delivered himself to the gate to let him practice.


    Although his strength was a bit weak, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, it was sufficient.


    Ye Yuan did not speak at the side all along. It was in order to let Yan Jun husband and wife know the Chaotic Devil Sea''s cruelty.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    This kind of money was really not easy to earn!


    Without adequate strength, it would only be like drawing water with a sieve in the end.


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his mouth to say, "The nonsense has been said entirely. I can send you on your way already. Are you handing over the Absolute Kill Token on your own, or do you want me to come to take it myself?"


    Xie Ying was stunned and looked at Ye Yuan like he was staring at a fool as he said, "Just the likes of you want my Absolute Kill Token too? Go back and train for another hundred years!"


    This Absolute Kill Token was precisely the second objective of Ye Yuan coming to Cloud Transient City!


    Because only by possessing this Absolute Kill Token could one enter the Slaughter Steppes. Otherwise, entering inside rashly, one would be obliterated!


    Each city lord had an Absolute Kill Token in possession. To obtain the Absolute Kill Token to enter the Slaughter Steppes, it could only be accomplished by killing a city lord!


    If the incumbent city lord entered the Slaughter Steppes, the Slaughter Steppes would send over another token for the next city lord.


    Of course, this process would be another gory struggle.


    Yan Jun duo were battered out of their senses. Suddenly hearing Ye Yuan''s words, they could not help being startled. They hurriedly went up to grab hold of Ye Yuan and said, "Master Ye, you''re our family''s benefactor, we can''t watch you cast away your life in vain! Your kindness, Shuang-er and I will bear it in mind. It''s just that �� we can only repay it in the next life!"


    Ye Yuan smiled broadly when he heard that and said, "Owner Yan is worrying too much. I came to this Cloud Transient City for the sake of the Absolute Kill Token in the first place. It''s just that I didn''t expect that Ling-er would run into this kind of incident. Since this matter was done by Xie Ying, then it just nice saves me a lot of trouble, combining two things into one. Mmm �� The pain that Ling-er suffered these past few years, let him pay it back in blood!"


    Yan Jun was stunned and muttered, "But �� But �� he''s an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert! You''re just an alchemist! It''s impossible to beat him!"


    Ye Yuan lightly patted on Yan Jun''s shoulder twice and said, "I believe that this time, you should have seen clearly what kind of place the Chaotic Devil Sea is. After I rescue Ling-er, your family of three should leave this place and never come here again. This place is not a place that you guys should come!"

 869 Fusion

    "Shameless boasting fool! Going to lose your life right away already and you still wish to go rescue people," Xie Ying chortled and said.


    Ye Yuan''s calm attitude made Xie Ying very displeased. Putting on an act got to have a limit too, right?


    A Second Level Heaven Enlightenment challenging an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert, this kind of thing had never happened before in the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    To Earth Carnage Proclamation experts, it had always been them crossing realms to challenge others. When had they been challenged by others before?


    Yan Jun still wanted to say something, but he was lightly pushed by Ye Yuan''s essence energy. Both he and Lin Shuang were pushed aside immediately.


    Yan Jun could not help being dumbfounded. He was a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist too. Being pushed by Ye Yuan here, he actually did not have the slightest strength to retaliate!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said indifferently, "Was your Earth Carnage Proclamation ranking boasted out with your mouth? So much crap!"


    Xie Ying''s expression turned cold, and he said, "Stinking brat, you''ll die very horribly!"


    A violent killing intent erupted out, almost materializing. The surrounding audience could not withstand this killing intent at all and hurriedly retreated and spread out.


    "Already have not seen Xie Ying take action for many years! His strength is even greater than in the past!"


    "His killing intent has condensed to become tangible. Looks like his comprehension in the Slaughter Supreme True Intent has already improved further!"


    "No wonder his Earth Carnage Proclamation rank rose non-stop these few years, Looks like he''s already not far from Phaseless Realm! This brat challenging Xie Ying is simply courting death!"


    Xie Ying''s position was fought out using bona fide battle results. Although he had not taken action for many years, his strength was clearly rising steadily.


    By this time, when Xie Ying exhibited his strength in front of everyone once again, no one would feel optimistic about Ye Yuan at all.


    The Slaughter True Intent was a concept universally comprehended by the Chaotic Devil Sea''s martial artists.


    The Slaughter Concept was also a top-notch supreme true intent. When cultivated to the extreme, it was also not at all inferior to the Scorching Concept.


    After cultivating to an exceedingly high realm, one could confuse the opponent''s mental state just by relying on the concept released by the martial artist, and then make the first strike from there.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, standing in the center of the storm very comfortably, looking very calm.


    The Slaughter True Intent was very strong. But just based on Xie Ying''s comprehension, it was unable to shake Ye Yuan the slightest bit.


    Seeing this scene, Xie Ying''s expression changed slightly too. Looks like this brat was also not without capabilities at all to dare raise a hue.


    Chiii!


    Xie Ying''s figure suddenly burst forth. The sword in his hand actually disappeared bizarrely!


    "Shadowless Sword! Xie Ying''s Shadowless Sword finally appeared once again! He draws his sword without any traces. It is completely hard to fathom! I can''t believe that it''s the killing move he used the moment he attacks!"


    The moment Xie Ying moved, someone immediately cried out in shock.


    Ye Yuan slowly closed his eyes, his entire person entered into Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm, knowing all of the surroundings like the palm of his own hand.


    Clank!


    A crisp metal clashing sound came over. Ye Yuan and Xie Ying separated upon contact. Ye Yuan was actually repelled back several dozen steps!


    "This boy actually used the power of his fleshy body to have a frontal clash with Xie Ying! Just how powerful is his fleshy body?"


    "Such a quick sword move, how did he see it?"


    "No wonder this boy dared to challenge Xie Ying. Turns out that his strength was actually this powerful! But it looks like he still isn''t Xie Ying''s match!"


    One move down; Xie Ying did not move a muscle, while Ye Yuan was beaten back several dozen steps. Whoever was superior was immediately determined.


    "Heh, no wonder you were so cocky. Turns out that your fleshy body has already cultivated to such a level. However �� no matter how powerful your fleshy body is, it''s of no avail too! Prepare to die!"


    Xie Ying gave a cold laugh. Swinging his sword, he attacked again!


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    In a blink of an eye, the two people engaged in battle for several dozen rounds.


    Bang!


    Xie Ying raised his foot and suddenly stomped onto Ye Yuan''s chest, directly kicking him out far away.


    "Master Ye!"


    Yan Jun was long struck dumb with amazement already. He did not think that Ye Yuan was actually still such a formidable martial path expert.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Battling an expert like Xie Ying, he was actually just in a slightly disadvantageous position.


    But this move, it gave Yan Jun a fright.


    Ye Yuan looked perfectly fine. Crawling to his feet and patting the dust on his body, he said, "Not bad, a little interesting. Again!"


    Xie Ying''s foot landed right on Ye Yuan''s chest, and he was currently pleased with himself. Seeing that Ye Yuan looked perfectly fine, his expression could not help becoming ugly.


    This foot, he did not hold back much. Ye Yuan was actually not injured at all.


    Formidable fleshy body, this defense was also ridiculously powerful!


    Looks like only the Slaughter Concept could break Ye Yuan''s defense!


    "Humph! Boy, you won''t be so lucky next time!"


    Xie Ying wielded his sword and attacked again, battling with Ye Yuan again.


    Xie Ying''s Slaughter Concept spread out everywhere, violent to the extreme. In comparison, Ye Yuan was like a stubborn rock in howling winds and torrential rain; no matter how fierce the storm was, he still held on as firmly as a rock!


    It was just that people with discerning eyes could tell that Ye Yuan was still at a disadvantage.


    Xie Ying very much wanted to use his Slaughter Concept to deal with Ye Yuan. But each time, it was cleverly avoided by Ye Yuan.


    However, even though Ye Yuan avoided the vital parts, he was in a sorry plight the entire process. A thousand exchanges down, he already suffered considerable external wounds.


    "Heh heh, even if you''re a chunk of metal, you''ll die from serious injuries at this rate!" Xie Ying was very patient. Since Ye Yuan wanted to drag the time, then he would like to see who could afford to waste time.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious. He still brandished his fists non-stop, not giving Xie Ying any chance to catch his breath at all.


    "Master Ye, don''t fight anymore! If you carry on fighting, you''ll die!" Yan Jun really could not carry on watching anymore and shouted at the sides.


    "Haha! You''re too naive! At this point, will City Lord Xie still let him leave alive? But to be able to force City Lord Xie to this extent, he can be sufficiently proud already," said one of Xie Ying''s followers with a big laugh.


    "Fool! This is a deathmatch! Until one party dies, it won''t cease. This brat is overestimating his own ability, to actually dare challenge City Lord Xie. It also serves him right if he dies!"


    Seeing as Ye Yuan was going to be defeated, everyone sneered in contempt towards Ye Yuan''s overestimation of his own strength.


    From the start until now, Ye Yuan had always been in a situation of taking a beating passively. No chances of victory could be seen at all.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength exceeded everyone''s expectations, it was very clear that the gap with Xie Ying was too great.


    They naturally did not discover that starting from just now, Xie Ying''s expression became increasingly solemn.


    The force Ye Yuan wielded became greater and greater. Each punch was like a giant hammer, carrying an enormous impact force. Xie Ying actually had some signs of not being able to withstand it.


    Moreover, each punch of Ye Yuan''s landing, Xie Ying''s entire body felt like he was being burned by flames.


    Tremendous impact force and the power of combustion made his entire person extremely unacclimatized.


    All of a sudden, Xie Ying''s pupils constricted!


    This punch of Ye Yuan''s actually vanished before his eyes!


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud bang. Xie Ying''s body was smashed right onto the ground like a cannonball.


    Those voices mocking Ye Yuan suddenly cut off.


    They looked at this scene in disbelief, their brains not being able to wrap itself around it for a moment.


    Just now, it was clearly Xie Ying who occupied the absolute initiative. Why did he lose in the twinkling of an eye?

 870 Is It Her?

    "This �� What''s going on here?"


    "Xie Ying was clearly suppressing this boy all-round. How did he suddenly turn out like this?"


    "An Earth Carnage Proclamation expert actually lose to an unknown and nameless Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm. It''s too unbelievable!"


    Xie Ying suddenly getting hit made everyone unbelievably stunned.


    Clearly, Xie Ying had suppressed Ye Yuan all-round, and he was about to be defeated soon. How did the plot reverse suddenly?


    Xie Ying struggled to his feet, looking incredibly wretched.


    He lowered his head to take a look at himself. The light armor he was wearing previously was actually ruined by Ye Yuan with one punch and already completely lost its function.


    Which was also to say that if Ye Yuan gave him another punch, he would face certain death.


    The life and death juncture just now, it was this light armor that saved his life.


    This light armor was acquired by him by spending a huge price. It was for the sake of preserving his life. He did not expect that Ye Yuan only used one punch to shatter it.


    Recalling the punch earlier, Xie Ying still had lingering fear in his heart. The light armor on him was a high-grade profound artifact armor. It was actually rendered invalid under Ye Yuan''s punch.


    One could imagine just how formidable the might of Ye Yuan''s punch earlier was.


    One must know that devastating a high-grade profound artifact armor beyond repair was a much higher level of difficulty compared to snapping a sword!


    Apart from the armor, there was still the martial artist''s protective essence energy. Not only did Ye Yuan directly smash Xie Ying''s protective essence energy, the residual force even destroyed a high-grade protective armor.


    This blow was too terrifying!


    Xie Ying looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes showing a look of extreme fear. "You �� You were actually testing your moves on me!"


    At this point, if Xie Ying still did not understand that Ye Yuan was only treating him as a target to practice his skill, then he would be too stupid.


    Ye Yuan''s fist technique became stronger and stronger in the battle, increasingly proficient, resulting in unleashing that terrifying punch at the back!


    The power of that punch was absolutely able to annihilate a Phaseless Realm martial artist!


    Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm and he could cross a major cultivation realm to eliminate a Phaseless Realm martial artist. What kind of concept was this?


    It was true that the Earth Carnage Proclamation''s martial artists were strong, but when they were at the Second Level Heaven Enlightenment, it was also not possible to have such perverse strength!


    The Ye Yuan in midair appeared rather ragged. But his fleshy body was extremely powerful. Xie Ying''s attack did not cause very substantial injury to him.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly when he heard that, "You''re not too stupid! Thanks to you, my Void Dragon Shadow Punch is finally mastered."


    This move was the move merged together and formed from the Void Fire Mark and dragon wave. The reason why he chose Xie Ying to test the move was that he was strong enough.


    Of course, Ye Yuan similarly had the strength to kill Xie Ying by relying on the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword.


    Xie Ying''s expression was incomparably ugly, but his dread towards Ye Yuan reached the pinnacle. "You �� That punch just now, what it contained was actually the Scorching Supreme True Intent!"


    "What?! The two of them exchanged a thousand moves, and it was actually just that boy testing his moves?"


    "Too terrifying! To actually dare use an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert to test one''s moves. Just how confident is this guy?!"


    "What did Xie Ying say just now? Scorching Supreme True Intent! This �� Isn''t that the supreme true intent that only the Spirit Bristle Divine King could comprehend? This boy, how did he do it?"


    Ye Yuan and Xie Ying''s conversation made the surrounding martial artists stupefied.


    They previously even thought that Ye Yuan could not stand up to a single blow. They did not expect that Ye Yuan completely did not attach any importance to Xie Ying.


    To dare use an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert to test moves, Ye Yuan must have absolute confidence.


    Even if he did not use that newly mastered move, Ye Yuan likewise had the ability to kill Xie Ying too.


    However, Ye Yuan was just Second Level Heaven Enlightenment!


    Looking at Xie Ying, Ye Yuan said indifferently, "At least you have some insights. Now, I can send you on your way!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, planning on eradicating Xie Ying with one punch.


    "Hang on! If you dare to kill me, that little lass is dead for sure too! Don''t you want to save her? I want to see just how you save her!" Xie Ying said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan''s relationship with Yan Jun husband and wife, Xie Ying had long inquired clearly.


    Kidnapping Yan Ling was originally in order to extort a huge sum from Yan Jun. But he did not expect that in the end, it actually became his protective charm. This made Xie Ying incredibly pleased with himself.


    With Yan Ling around, Ye Yuan absolutely would not dare to make a move!


    Hearing these words, Yan Jun husband and wife''s faces changed as they reproached indignantly, "Xie Ying, you �� are shameless!"


    Xie Ying roared with laughter and said, "Hahaha! Shameless? The victor becomes king and the loser a bandit! Shameless, this term, is utterly not applicable in the Chaotic Devil Sea! Boy, since you want the Absolute Kill Token, then have you made the preparations to sink low? Do you want your own life or that little girl''s life? Choose one yourself!"


    Ye Yuan landed onto the ground and looked at Xie Ying pitifully as he said with a faint smile, "If I want to kill you, nobody can stop me!"


    Xie Ying was taken in by Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum and actually involuntarily retreated several steps. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Don''t you care about that little girl''s life and death anymore?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and pointed towards the crowd as he said, "Is the little girl you''re talking about her?"


    Tracing the direction Ye Yuan pointed at and looking over, Xie Ying''s expression could not help changing drastically. His legs turned weak, and his entire person plopped down onto the ground.


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    In the crowd, a youth was carrying a little girl in his arms. Who could that little girl be but Yan Ling?


    When Yan Jun husband and wife saw Yan Ling, they could not help rubbing their eyes as they revealed a look of disbelief.


    "L-Ling-er?"


    "Father �� Mother ��"


    Fiery carried Yan Ling and came before Yan Jun husband and wife, and he returned her to Lin Shuang. The couple''s tears poured down.


    "Ling-er, it was all father and mother''s fault, causing you to have suffered!" The family of three cried bitterly on each other''s shoulders.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and finished off Xie Ying neat and tidily.


    The final protective charm being gone, Xie Ying could not even muster up the courage to resist.


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and beckoned. A token flew into his hand from Xie Ying''s corpse.


    The moment he caught it, a berserk killing qi pounced from head-on. A scarlet red ''kill'' word was written on the token.


    This token was the Absolute Kill Token!


    With it, Ye Yuan would be able to enter the Slaughter Steppes and start a journey filled with blood and slaughter.


    Dripping blood to acknowledge a master, a burst of extremely powerful killing qi entered Ye Yuan''s body, assaulting Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    In an instant, it was as if Ye Yuan had fallen into endless slaughter. He actually had an impulse to kill off all the people around him.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm. It instantly suppressed this bout of killing intent down.


    How could a mere killing intent beat Ye Yuan''s Heart Like Monolith?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At this instant, each and every one of Ye Yuan''s actions was watched closely by everyone.


    When everyone saw that he actually dripped blood to acknowledge a master on the spot, all of them were shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    In the Absolute Kill Token contained extremely intense killing intent. A single mishap could make the martial artist turn into a killing machine.


    When ordinary people obtained this Absolute Kill Token, they all would find a place without anybody to enter seclusion. Who would be so arrogant like Ye Yuan?


    But they clearly saw that Ye Yuan''s eyes were only turbid for an instant, then it recovered clarity.


    This newly-ascended city lord was too terrifying!

 871 Coercion

    Yan Jun trio huddled together and cried bitterly for a while before finally recovering.


    He led his wife and daughter in front of Ye Yuan and prostrated on the ground.


    "Master Ye saved my family. Yan Jun has nothing to repay you with, so I''ll give these meager family wealth to master. Hope that Master don''t scorn it."


    Yan Jun offered up a storage ring with cupped hands, stirring the audience into a commotion.


    No need to think, inside this storage ring definitely had quite a number of earth essence crystals. This made each and every one of them extremely envious.


    It was just that no matter how great their gall was, nobody dared to provoke this new city lord either.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually pushed the storage ring back and said coolly, "No need to be courteous, Owner Yan. In the future, leave this troublesome place and bring your wife and child to live your lives well!"


    Yan Jun showed a look of dilemma. Suddenly, he pushed Yan Ling in front of Ye Yuan and said, "This Yan knows that this action is very presumptuous, but I don''t want Ling-er to live like good-for-nothings like us in the future! Master Ye, I beg you to take Ling-er in as a disciple. We, husband and wife, will be endlessly grateful!"


    Regarding Yan Jun''s actions, Ye Yuan was rather surprised. He could feel Yan Jun''s fond love toward his daughter. He did not think that they would actually be willing to part by giving Ling-er to him to be an apprentice.


    Ye Yuan said, "This matter isn''t up to us. It still has to depend on Ling-er''s wishes herself. Ling-er, do you want to learn alchemy skills from Big Brother Ye Yuan?"


    Ling-er nodded without the slightest hesitation and said, "Of course I want! Ling-er wants to become the greatest alchemist! But �� Ling-er can''t bear to part with Father and Mother."


    Ling-er was very clever. She knew that by acknowledging Ye Yuan as her master, she would likely have to part with her own father and mother.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s easy to handle. I''ll write a letter for you all. You go to the White Valiant Region''s Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, say that you were arranged to come by me. They will naturally take you guys in."


    Yan Jun was overjoyed when he heard that and hurriedly gave thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Settling Yan Jun''s family down, Ye Yuan suddenly said coolly to the crowd, "Tan Si, do you want to keep on watching like this?"


    The moment these words came out, Yan Jun, Liu Yusheng, and the rest were all startled.


    They did not think that Tan Si was actually hiding in the crowd.


    Indeed, a scarface flashed out from within the crowd. It was precisely Tan Si.


    "That expert lying undercover in the trade caravans was indeed you!" Tan Si looked at Ye Yuan and said with a gloomy face.


    The moment these words were uttered, Liu Yusheng''s face changed.


    If he still did not know that it was Ye Yuan who secretly made a move until now, then he would be too stupid.


    But the problem was, how did Ye Yuan make a move? One had to know that the one controlling the Spirit Profound Unity Formation was him. When did Ye Yuan take action? He actually did not find out at all!


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan just smiled.


    The current Tan Si was very wary of Ye Yuan and said again, "I''m only here to observe the battle and don''t have any ill-intent!"


    But Tan Si''s appearance caused a commotion.


    "He �� He''s Earth Carnage Proclamation rank 458, Tan Si! My God, why would Tan Si appear in Cloud Transient City?"


    "Heard that it was this Tan Si''s first time entering the Earth Carnage Proclamation, charging straight to the 458th place. He''s a legendary-like existence!"


    "But �� But he actually submitted to City Lord Ye!"


    Tan Si''s ranking was even several positions higher than Xie Ying''s, indicating that his strength was even stronger than Xie Ying''s.


    But this kind of existence actually submitted to Ye Yuan. This made everyone''s jaws dropped.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tan Si with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Don''t you feel that this sort of explanation is very feeble? If I didn''t call you out, would you tail behind Owner Yan and leave Cloud Transient City, and then kill them halfway?"


    Yan Jun''s expression could not help changing when he heard that. This Tan Si actually still refused to give up!


    If not for Ye Yuan pointing Tan Si''s whereabouts, there really was a possibility that he might lay his hands on him.


    Tan Si''s expression changed, and he shook his head and said, "I have no such intentions."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Good that you don''t have such intentions! Just nice, I''m going to the Slaughter Steppes, and I''m lacking a person to accompany me. I''ll have to trouble you to take a trip with me!"


    This time, Tan Si really lost composure. He said in astonishment, "You �� You want to go to the Slaughter Steppes! I �� I''m not going!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether you go or not isn''t up to you."


    Tan Si''s expression was livid with rage as he said, "Do you really think that I''m scared of you?"


    Ye Yuan said very coolly, "The so-called Earth Carnage Proclamation experts are nothing in my eyes! Killing one is killing, killing two is also the same!"


    Arrogant!


    Wildly arrogant!


    In the Chaotic Devil Sea, to dare look down on Earth Carnage Proclamation experts, Ye Yuan was still the first one!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    To Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were invincible existences. But Ye Yuan said that they were nothing!


    "You! I assure you, I absolutely won''t kill them! Is this still not enough?"


    Tan Si shrunk back once more. He actually did not have the courage to have a battle with Ye Yuan.


    Tan Si''s performance subverted everyone''s understanding of Earth Carnage Proclamation experts.


    To Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, Earth Carnage Proclamation experts were invincible existences. But facing Ye Yuan, Tan Si, this Earth Carnage Proclamation who was ranked 458 actually did not even dare to make a move!


    "You only have two options. Go together with me or be killed by me!" Ye Yuan did not care about Tan Si''s words the least bit and said indifferently.


    This was a stark-naked threat or should one say an undisguised kidnapping.


    To dare talk this way to an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert, Ye Yuan was probably a special one.


    Tan Si''s hand holding the saber was trembling. He desperately wanted to draw his saber, but at the thought of Ye Yuan''s punch earlier, he could not muster up the courage no matter what.


    Xie Ying did not see clearly that punch of Ye Yuan''s. He likewise did not see clearly.


    Tan Si could sense that under that punch, he absolutely did not have the possibility of surviving!


    He truly did not think that a Second Level Heaven Enlightenment martial artist would actually have such formidable strength.


    "I �� I''ll go!" Tan Si struggled for a long time and finally still yielded.


    The gazes all of the martial artists looked toward Ye Yuan with were filled with awe and veneration.


    This man actually coerced an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert to enter the Slaughter Steppes.


    Too subverting!


    Ye Yuan slowly came before Liu Yusheng and said to him, "Escort Yan Jun''s family safe and sound to Luo Ding City. If accidents occur, your Green Sea Mercenary Group don''t have any need to exist anymore."


    Although Liu Yusheng''s strength was not bad, his personality was too spineless. Previously, when Xie Ying was taunting, if he stepped forward, Ye Yuan would still think a little better of him.


    But now, he did not have the need to be courteous anymore.


    Arranging everything, Ye Yuan brought Tan Si to the transmission array leading to the Slaughter Steppes.


    This array formation could only be activated using the Absolute Kill Token.


    A light flashed, and the two people vanished from sight.


    When they appeared again, they already arrived at a wasteland.


    Far away was a magnificent great city. Even separated by several thousand miles, Ye Yuan could still see it clearly.


    That great city was the legendary Asura City!


    "If my conjectures are right, you should have come out from Asura City, right?" Ye Yuan asked Tan Si.


    "It''s clearly your first time entering the Chaotic Devil Sea. Why do you know this place like the palm of your hands?" Tan Si gave an answer that evaded the question.


    Ye Yuan did not have any hint of killing aura on him; out of tune and different than Chaotic Devil Sea martial artists. One look and it was clear that it was his first time entering the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    But what made Tan Si surprised was that Ye Yuan did not seem to be unfamiliar with this place at all.

 872 Asura Arena

    Ye Yuan took a look at Tan Si''s glabella and discovered that five blood-red stars appeared between his eyebrows.


    "Five-star soul general. Not bad." Ye Yuan still gave an irrelevant answer.


    This was indeed Ye Yuan''s first time coming to the Slaughter Steppes. But he was formerly an apex existence in the Divine Realm. He was very clear about the rules here.


    It was just that these things, Ye Yuan naturally would not tell Tan Si.


    Tan Si suddenly discovered that he was actually somewhat at a loss on what to do when he was in front of Ye Yuan.


    Tan Si had always been an incomparably vicious and fierce person. He spent these few years in the midst of life and death battles before he had his present strength.


    No matter how powerful the enemy was, he could always think of ways to kill the opponent.


    But facing Ye Yuan, he actually gave rise to an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.


    All of a sudden, Tan Si''s expression changed, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was as if he had seen a ghost.


    "You �� You just entered the Slaughter Steppes, and you''re actually already a three-star soul general!"


    On Ye Yuan''s glabella, three stars gradually condensed out in an equilateral triangular arrangement. It was precisely the hallmark of a three-star soul general Tan Si was talking about.


    For martial artists who entered the Slaughter Steppes, the Absolute Kill Token would condense the Slaughter Concept within their bodies on their glabella, manifesting the concept distinctly.


    According to the degree of comprehension of the concept, they were divided from one star to nine stars. A three-star soul general was already not far from supreme true intent.


    Previously, Tan Si did not feel a shred of Slaughter Intent on Ye Yuan''s body. But after entering the Slaughter Steppes, Ye Yuan actually reached the level of three-star soul general all at once. How could this not shock him?


    One had to know that when Tan Si entered the Slaughter Steppes for the first time, he had already killed God knows how many people. But it was merely only the level of one star.


    This completely harmless young man in front of him actually already walked so far along the path of slaughter. How was this possible?


    Little did he imagine, when Ye Yuan was in the Lower Realms, the martial artists he had personally massacred before was an astronomical figure.


    Talking in terms of killing people, Tan Si was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan!


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s mind was firm. Slaughter True Intent''s violence was completely unable to have an influence on his heart, that was all.


    On the path of slaughter, Ye Yuan had already comprehended the true intent long ago unknowingly. It was just that presently, the help that particular true intent had on Ye Yuan was already very little.


    "Just three stars, is there a need to make such a fuss? This Slaughter Steppes, three-star soul generals can be easily found," Ye Yuan said unconcernedly.


    Tan Si was speechless and only asked after a while, "You didn''t come to this Slaughter Steppes for the sake of going to Asura City, right?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "What did I come to the Slaughter Steppes for if I''m not going to Asura City? You''re at any rate an expert on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. You''re actually afraid of going into Asura City?"


    Tan Si''s expression fell slightly, and he said, "It''s no use even if you taunt me. I won''t enter Asura City with you! Once you enter Asura City, you must start the Slaughter Mode. Either you kill people or be killed! The personnel changes on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation is tremendous because the Asura City is too cruel! I''m not those fools who crack themselves up to be geniuses. I won''t go and seek my doom!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Doesn''t matter. If you don''t go, I''ll kill you right now."


    Ye Yuan said it with incomparable ease as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.


    Tan Si said with a somber face, "I''ve already exercised forbearance in every way towards you. Don''t push people too far!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Boom!


    A powerful wind howled past Tan Si''s ears, smashing out a large crater behind him.


    Tan Si''s pupils constricted, his entire person frozen there. He was actually unable to move!


    He desperately wanted to make himself move, but his body would not listen.


    That punch earlier came very suddenly. But he knew that even if he had made ample preparations, it was impossible to block this punch too!


    Ye Yuan slowly withdrew his own fist and said with a sigh, "Accidentally hit crooked. Uh �� Why don''t I punch again?"


    Plop!


    Tan Si suddenly knelt down, his four limbs supporting his body on the ground, panting heavily for air.


    "I �� I''ll go!" Tan Si said panting for air.


    "Oh, then �� let''s go."


    Ye Yuan opened up his footsteps and walked towards that enormous city.


    ...


    Only when he arrived in front of this enormous city did Ye Yuan feel the magnificence of this city.


    "Around 30 thousand years ago, Asura City rose from ground up. Ever since then, the Chaotic Devil Sea was born. Starting from then, who knows how many genius martial artists collapsed in this city, for the sake of taking a shot at that nine-star soul general." Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.


    The Chaotic Devil Sea was a place without rules, especially Asura City.


    The allure of nine-star soul general to martial artists was lethal.


    Cultivating to the level of nine-star soul general signified the martial artist''s Slaughter Supreme True Intent would also reach the great circle of perfection.


    With a great circle of perfection supreme true intent, cultivating to the Divine King Realm could be easily accomplished. Moreover, the combat strength of the Slaughter Concept was on par with the Scorching Concept.


    As long as one could cultivate to nine-star soul general, it would mean that one could step into the ranks of the Divine Realm''s pinnacle Divine Kings with one fell swoop.


    This sort of temptation was too great!


    Therefore, martial artists who came to Asura City were not just those martial artists being hunted down by various major forces, there were even more who were genius martial artists that came from all over the Divine Realm.


    Because cultivating to the level of nine-star soul general had a shortcut. That was to kill the opponent inside the Asura City''s Asura Arena. One could absorb a part of the other party''s Slaughter Concept and convert into their own concept.


    This sort of conversion would become increasingly more along with the increase in numbers and quality of the opponents the martial artist killed.


    As long as one accumulated to the level of nine-star soul general, the martial artist would comprehend the supreme true intent to the great circle of perfection naturally. This was the miraculous aspect of the Absolute Kill Token!


    Of course, it was way too difficult to kill opponents at a corresponding level.


    The vast majority of martial artists would all be buried in the sand with broken halberds in the end, dying in the Asura Arena.


    Tan Si knew that Ye Yuan wanted to enter the Asura Arena. So he refused to come to Asura City no matter what. It was just that now, he had no choice at all.


    Not coming to Asura City, he would be killed by Ye Yuan at that time.


    Following Ye Yuan into the city, Tan Si''s face was grim as hell.


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Relax a bit. Maybe, when you achieve nine-star soul general in the future, you''ll even have to thank me!"


    "Humph! For 30 thousand years, there are countless geniuses who came to the Asura Arena. But how many people were able to cultivate to nine-star soul general? Ye Yuan, if I die, I won''t let you off even if I become a ghost!" Tan Si said in a fierce voice.


    Ye Yuan said without a care in the world, "You couldn''t even beat me as a human. Could it be that you can still overturn the skies as a ghost? Calm down. With that kind of mentality, you might die in the first round. You killed so many people, could it be that you still don''t have any awareness of getting killed? Without this sort of awareness, your accomplishments in this lifetime would just be like this too."


    Tan Si was alarmed inwardly. Ye Yuan''s words seemed to have the intention of giving pointers inside.


    Honestly speaking, the more people killed, the more afraid of death actually.


    Tan Si was also a rare talent in practicing martial arts. He had not entered Asura City before, but he forcefully cultivated to the level of five-star soul general in the Slaughter Steppes.


    But the strength of Slaughter Steppes martial artists were limited. His accomplishments could only advance to this sort of extent too.


    Because he did not dare to enter the Asura Arena, so he returned to the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    "Straightened it out? If you thought it through, then enter the city!"

 873 Overpowering with Strength

    After 30 thousand years of development, Asura City was extremely prosperous.


    Streams of people bustled about on the streets, crowded with horses and carriages, seemingly not much different from cities outside.


    But in the distance, there were currently several people chasing and slashing at each other. That was clearly not some game.


    This place was the Chaotic Devil Sea. Killing could be seen everywhere.


    But killing on the streets did not have much help to one''s own Slaughter Concept.


    Want to obtain the other party''s Slaughter Concept, one must enter the Asura Arena.


    Ye Yuan did not wish to cause trouble and headed straight to the center of the city. That was where the Asura Arena was at.


    Walking to the central area, there was only a structure there. It was an Asura Arena with a majestic and imposing manner. Entering this region, Ye Yuan felt his own glabella heating up and was seized with a sudden impulse to want to kill people.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Indeed, well-deserving of being a land of killing. The air is pervaded with the scent of slaughter!" Ye Yuan praised.


    Paying the entrance fee, Ye Yuan brought Tan Si into the Asura Arena.


    The moment he entered the Asura Arena, Ye Yuan felt like his divine soul was being surveyed by some kind of existence. He knew that this was the Absolute Kill Token he refined playing tricks.


    "Entering the Asura Arena, the Absolute Kill Token will automatically activate Slaughter Mode. The fighting arena will arrange fights for you every day. The first level fighting arena, you can only avoid at most three times. If you still don''t accept the challenge the fourth time, you''ll be directly blotted out!" Tan Si warned him.


    Under such rules, nobody dared to have any hint of slacking off. Each person was desperately improving themselves, then exerting the utmost effort to kill the opponent.


    Ye Yuan shot him an indifferent glance and said, "With your strength, you would be able to make it through the first level, right?"


    Tan Si gave a cold snort but did not say much.


    "Go to the fighting arena first to take a look."


    Ye Yuan walked over towards the fighting arena in an ostentatious manner. Tan Si followed behind like a bullied little wifey.


    "Kill, kill kill! Wang Dong, kill that rookie!"


    The moment they entered the fighting arena, the martial artists inside were all roaring like they were injected with stimulants, shouting at a martial artist on the stage to kill his opponent.


    The strength of that martial artist called Wang Dong was very formidable. His opponent was not on the same level as him at all. He was just toying with the opponent.


    Bang! Wang Dong raised his hand and punched, directly blasting his opponent into dregs.


    Seeing this bloody scene, the audience below the stage were incomparably excited, shouting Wang Dong''s name loudly.


    "Wang Dong! Wang Dong!"


    "Wang Dong, I love you to death! Come to my room tonight!"


    Wang Dong himself was also incomparably pleased with himself, waving his hand in the direction below the stage non-stop to send his greetings.


    This place was a paradise for the strong. As long as you had strength, you could obtain everything you want. Essence crystals, women, all that you desire!


    "Yo, a fresh rookie? Only Second Level Heaven Enlightenment strength. Tsk tsk, wonder how many days he can last!"


    "Haha! I bet that he''ll be finished off in the first fight four days later! What do you think?"


    "That will have to depend on luck. If he also runs into a rookie, he might be able to live for a few days more."


    Ye Yuan this new face drew other people''s attention very quickly. But clearly, nobody was optimistic about him.


    There were newcomers here every day. But those truly able to keep a foothold were less than 10%. The vast majority of the people could not survive past the first three showdowns, which was also around a month''s time.


    A Second Level Heaven Enlightenment like Ye Yuan virtually did not have the possibility of surviving past the first match.


    "Too weak! Is there still anyone stronger coming up to let the exalted me enjoy myself to my heart''s content?"


    Wang Dong did not leave the fighting arena immediately but started taunting others to come up the stage. But regarding him provoking so haughtily, there was actually no one who dared to respond. Clearly, his strength was part of the very formidable existences in the first level.


    Ye Yuan looked over and discovered that Wang Dong was similarly a three-star soul general. And on his forehead, the fourth star was faintly discernible. Clearly, he was already not far from four-star condensation.


    Three stars to four stars was a threshold. When the fourth star appeared on the forehead, the martial artist would be able to comprehend the first-stage Slaughter Supreme True Intent.


    Which was also to say that Wang Dong''s concept comprehensions were going to breakthrough to supreme true intent level very soon.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan floated up and landed in the fighting arena.


    When Wang Dong saw a young man fly in, he could not help having an astonished look. He burst into laughter soon after and said, "Boy, it''s your first day here, right? Overconfident fool. With just this bit of strength, you actually dare to provoke this honorable self?"


    The audience below the stage guffawed with laughter too.


    "Brat, hurry up and concede. Wang Dong is in a good mood. Maybe he will spare you from death!"


    "That brat, Wang Dong is a strong competitor ranked tenth in the first level. If you go up like this, you''ll die very horrible!"


    "Sigh, there are so many idiots nowadays! Coming to the Asura Arena, they don''t find out about the situation a little either, before going up to seek death impetuously. Really, enough is enough!"


    There was no big deal in taking the initiative to admit defeat in the fighting arena. It was just that the loser''s Slaughter Concept would have a portion extracted and enter inside the other party''s Absolute Kill Token.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that you had the ability to take the initiative to admit defeat.


    Some people did not even have time to say admit defeat, these two words, on the fighting arena before they were one-shotted.


    Wang Dong was already late-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm. His realm was similar to Tan Si''s. In other people''s view, killing a Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm was too effortless.


    Ye Yuan extended a finger and said indifferently, "With one move, I''ll send you to the western paradise."


    Wang Dong''s expression changed, and he said with a cold smile, "Arrogant punk! You''ll be the same as that person just now, being blown apart by me! Argh!"


    Wang Dong gave a howl, both fists akin to flood dragons heading out to the sea, charging straight at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just stood where he was and did not move a muscle, quietly awaiting Wang Dong''s arrival.


    Just as Wang Dong''s fist arrived in front of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan suddenly threw a punch out.


    Two fists collided. A tremendous impact force bombarded Wang Dong akin to mountains toppling and the earth splitting.


    Bang!


    Wang Dong''s body exploded like a watermelon, his death state virtually identical with that martial artist he killed previously.


    "N-No way, right? Pulverizing Wang Dong with one punch. How can this brat be so strong?"


    The originally excited audience were currently all spaced out like wooden chickens.


    The contrast between reality and their imaginations was too great, resulting in them not reacting to it for a moment.


    An expert ranked tenth on the first level was actually finished off by someone with one punch?


    Ye Yuan extended a hand to grab, and Wang Dong''s storage ring landed in his hand. While Wang Dong''s Absolute Kill Token floated in the air silently. A wisp of red smoke slowly spilled out from it and flowed into Ye Yuan''s body.


    "This is the Slaughter Concept? Mm �� To actually be able to materialize a concept, this Chaotic Devil Sea is really a magical place," Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Possessing the Absolute Kill Token, Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that his comprehension of the Slaughter Concept was currently rising.


    With a whoosh, Wang Dong''s Absolute Kill Token flew into the air and finally vanished from sight.


    "Anyone else still coming up? If there''s nobody, I''ll come again tomorrow," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    It was silent beneath the stage. That punch earlier was too shocking, resulting in no one daring to go up the stage to challenge Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, a big and tall man leapt up the ring and said icily, "Brat who is still wet behind the ears. What are you being cocky about? Watch your Lord Hu take care of you!"

 874 Sweeping Away

    "Lord Hu actually made a move! Lord Hu is a genuine four-star soul general. He''s a strong contender ranked third on the first level!"


    "Lord Hu has already won over a hundred matches in a row. There has never been a survivor under his hands. Winning 20 matches in a row can already go up to the second level. But he insists on remaining at the first level. Clearly, he wants to consolidate his strenght some more."


    "This boy is dead for sure, to actually provoke Lord Hu. Newcomers should be a little more low-profile. Isn''t being so wild courting death?"


    The stalwart man appearing on the stage roused everyone''s spirits.


    Ye Yuan''s blow earlier frightened everyone. But regarding Ye Yuan this new face, everyone all instinctively did not acknowledge.


    At the first level, Wang Dong''s might was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    Being finished off by Ye Yuan with one punch, everyone still felt that Wang Dong underestimated the enemy in their hearts.


    This time came a Lord Hu whose strength was more than a level stronger. They naturally did not think that Ye Yuan would win.


    Lord Hu held a pair of battle-axes, looking incomparably fearsome.


    In truth, those able to force him to use a weapon were not many. If not for Ye Yuan''s punch earlier being too shocking, he would not possibly use his weapon the moment he went up.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, "Come on."


    Lord Hu''s face fell. Displeased, he said, "Brat, looking down on your Lord Hu, is it? Today, your Lord Hu will let you know, in this Asura Arena, be a little more low-profile!"


    Done talking, Lord Hu''s two feet exerted strength. That tall and strong body soared into the air. The speed was actually inconceivably fast.


    His axes swept up a fierce wind and cleaved down towards where Ye Yuan was standing at.


    An earth-shattering axe!


    This axe, he did not hold back in the slightest, urging essence energy to the limits. He figured that even if Ye Yuan''s speed was any quicker, it was not possible to fully dodge this axe either.


    The only way was to contend head-on with him!


    Boom!


    A massive blast of wind spread out, blowing until everyone could not open their eyes.


    "Y-You have got to be kidding, right? He used his hand to receive this chop head-on?" One person rubbed his eyes, clearly not believing this scene he saw in front of him.


    Lord Hu''s eyes stared like wide circles, feeling that this scene before his eyes was too unreal.


    He did not underestimate Ye Yuan. This chop was virtually flooded with all of his essence energy, plus the augmentation of the four-star Slaughter Concept. It could be said to be an overwhelming force.


    An axe like this, how could a person possibly use one hand to forcefully receive it?


    That was right, Ye Yuan just used one hand and caught his axe!


    Ye Yuan stood where he was and did not even budge an inch. This kind of showdown simply made people find it too difficult to believe.


    One had to know that Lord Hu was an existence at the top of the first level. But he could not even break through one of Ye Yuan''s hands.


    This gap �� was too great!


    How could they know that Ye Yuan who had fused with the primeval dragon bone, the strength of his arms already infinitely approached the level of a holy artifact?


    These few days, Ye Yuan was still refining the primeval dragon bone bit by bit. The toughness degree of his arms had been rising non-stop.


    Adding in the augmentation of the Scorching Supreme True Intent, it was nothing hard for him to receive this axe blow one-handedly.


    Seeing this scene, the expression of Tan Si who kept silent below the stage all along also changed slightly.


    Ye Yuan''s strength, he was completely unable to estimate it.


    But the strength of Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was simply too outrageous. Bare-handedly catching this violent chop and not budging an inch, this Ye Yuan was simply a human-shaped lethal weapon!


    With a whoosh, Lord Hu''s figure retreated explosively, directly retreating to the peripherals of the fighting arena.


    He looked at Ye Yuan vigilantly, apprehensive of him to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "What? Still wanna go?"


    Seeing as Ye Yuan did not have the intention of pursuing vigorously and pummeling fiercely, no idea why, Lord Hu actually secretly let out a sigh in relief.


    He had already stayed at this first level for very long. This was still his first time encountering such a terrifying opponent.


    "I �� I admit defeat!" Lord Hu did not have any unwillingness to resign himself to it, this sort of emotion. Instead, he had a feeling as if he was freed from a heavy load.


    This newcomer was seriously too scary!


    Following Lord Hu''s ceding, his Slaughter Concept also slowly flowed towards Ye Yuan. With this, the fourth star on his glabella actually became somewhat dim.


    While Ye Yuan''s glabella area, the fourth star was partially visible. It was actually on the verge of condensing into supreme true intent already.


    "Where did this newcomer pop out from? Why have I never heard of him before in the past?"


    "I saw earlier, he seemed to have just entered the Asura Arena!"


    "His strength is totally not suitable to stay on in the first level. This kind of strength is simply making a clean sweep at the first level!"


    The audience whispered in low voices, all having a clear understanding regarding Ye Yuan''s terror.


    This newcomer''s age was unclear, his cultivation realm unclear. But his combat power was terrifyingly daunting.


    They found it very hard to imagine why such a small body contained such tremendous energy!


    "Uh �� Is there still anyone coming up?" Ye Yuan asked with an innocent face.


    Right then, a middle-aged man in gray robes came to the fighting arena and said in a clear voice, "Within an hour, if no one challenges Ye Yuan, he''ll directly obtain the qualifications to advance to the second level!"


    Time slowly trickled by. An hour''s time passed very quickly. But no one dared to come up to challenge Ye Yuan.


    That gray-robed middle-aged man said, "Congratulations, Brother Ye! A wipeout! You''ll directly obtain the opportunity to advance to the second level as well as 20 slaughter points!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Just 20 slaughter points? Isn''t that a bit too little?"


    Ye Yuan knew that this Asura Arena had some major rules. But the very specific matters, he was not clear. Slaughter point was one of them.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, what was 20 slaughter points enough to do?


    The gray-robed middle-aged man explained with a smile, "Brother Ye mustn''t look down on these 20 slaughter points. It can buy many things. Those able to obtain slaughter points at the first level can be counted on one''s fingers. You''ll know when you go to the Asura Shop to take a look. Additionally, these slaughter points are even able to exchange for cultivation sites as well as purchase some things that essence crystals cannot buy."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Like this, huh? I understand. I wonder if I can delay a few days to enter the second level?"


    The gray-robed middle-aged man nodded and said, "That''s of course! You can even choose to not enter the second level. Moreover, unless somebody challenges you, otherwise, you can not be arranged a match. This is all your freedom."


    Ye Yuan did not think that there was actually still such a good treatment. He nodded his head right away and said, "I naturally have to enter the second level. This first level is too boring. Presumably, the second level has as many experts as clouds. I''d better increase my strength a bit first."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The gray-robed middle-aged man could not help being speechless when he heard that. That Lord Hu was completely unable to test Ye Yuan''s strength. Presumably, when he reached the second level, he was likely able to rank in the front too.


    This fellow actually still said that he wanted to increase his strength.


    But speaking of which, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was indeed a little low.


    Exiting the fighting area, Ye Yuan came to Tan Si''s side and said to him, "Your turn. With your strength, getting a wipeout should be any problem, right?"


    Tan Si gave Ye Yuan a glance and entered the fighting arena with a leap.

 875 Loophole

    One should not look at how Tan Si was beaten by Ye Yuan until he could not even raise his head. His strength still stood head and shoulders above the others at the first level.


    He took on eight opponents in a row on the stage. Finally, no one dared to go and challenge him anymore.


    Tan Si''s attacks were still incomparably vicious. Toward opponents who were slightly weaker, he would always directly blot out.


    Except, just talking in terms of the spectacle, Tan Si was far from as shocking as Ye Yuan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But two experts emerging consecutively within one day still caused quite a bit of a stir.


    It was just that these did not have anything to do with Ye Yuan. Leaving the fighting arena, Ye Yuan started strolling idly in this Asura Arena.


    The Asura Arena was very large. The fighting arena was only a small part of it.


    Regarding that Asura Shop that gray-robed middle-aged man talked about, Ye Yuan was rather interested. Inquiring about it, Ye Yuan and Tan Si actually directly entered the Asura Shop through a transmission array.


    "Welcome, guests. May I ask if you need anything?" a beautiful female came up to welcome and asked politely.


    "Mmm, we''re just casually looking around."


    This woman''s attitude had nothing to nitpick about. But a look of disdain was concealed in her eyes.


    In a place like the Asura Arena, snobbery was inevitable.


    Ye Yuan and Tan Si were clearly newcomers at one glance, and the likelihood of newcomers obtaining slaughter points was very low.


    Newcomers like Ye Yuan they all would generally come and look around after hearing about the Asura Shop''s reputation.


    After these people came here and walked one round, they would be endlessly covetous towards the things in the store. But without slaughter points, they could only stare greedily.


    Forget about the first level''s newcomers, even to the second level, third level''s powerhouses, slaughter points was also an extremely scarce resource.


    In this female''s eyes, Ye Yuan and Tan Si clearly belonged to this type of newcomers.


    "This way, please. Our Asura Shop is divided into essence crystal area and points area. The essence crystal area''s things only need essence crystals to purchase. Of course, points can as well. But the things in the points area can only be purchased with slaughter points," the beautiful lady introduced to them.


    "Oh? In that case, the points area''s things should all be good stuff?" Ye Yuan indeed became interested upon hearing.


    The female smiled slightly and said, "That''s hard for this lowly one to say. This Lord will know once you see it."


    Truly a brat who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Slaughter points were extremely hard to come by things, let alone that you''re a newcomer. Many martial artists who have toiled for many years in the Asura Arena might not even have it.


    Although the woman was smiling, the way she smiled, it was very fake.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of what this woman was thinking, but he was unconcerned. There was no need to stoop the level of a minor character like this.


    Under the woman''s lead, Ye Yuan and Tan Si came to the points area.


    Casually sweeping a glance, Ye Yuan could not help being somewhat astonished too. The points area really had quite a number of good stuff.

    These spirit medicines were virtually very hard to come upon in the outside world. But the points area displayed them all. But once Ye Yuan saw the price of the spirit medicines, he could not help going into a daze as well.


    These extremely rare spirit medicines, the prices basically only varied from three to ten slaughter points.


    Regarding the value of slaughter points, Ye Yuan also had a clear understanding. 20 slaughter points were indeed not considered little already.


    These spirit medicines, when placed in the outside world, would all start from 500 million earth essence crystals. And this was still with demand, but no supply.


    Calculating like this, 20 slaughter points was worth at least several billion earth essence crystals. Moreover, these spirit medicines were utterly not what earth essence crystals could buy. Only slaughter points could buy it!


    The points area still had some completed products. The prices were even more ridiculously expensive.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance of judging each and every one of them, the woman was even more disdainful in her heart.


    Just looking and not buying, putting on an act for what!


    Ye Yuan browsed over each and every one. Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and he took up a piece of dark gold-colored ore.


    "I really didn''t expect that there is actually Grayflame Earth Sun Gold inside this Asura Shop!" Ye Yuan said rather delightedly.


    This Grayflame Earth Sun Gold was an extremely rare ore. It was a material that could be used to forge holy artifacts. But to Ye Yuan, the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold had one significant function, that was that it could let the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood evolve!


    These few years, Ye Yuan constantly nurtured the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood diligently. But its rate of progress was still a little too slow. At present, it had only just broken through to Tier 6.


    This kind of evolving speed was truly a bit too slow to Ye Yuan.


    This chunk of Grayflame Earth Sun Gold was not small; sufficient for the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood to evolve to Tier 7.


    Making the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood evolve to Tier 7, it could become a major assistance to Ye Yuan again!


    Huuuu.


    A gust of wind howled past. A hand reached out from behind Ye Yuan and grabbed at the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold in Ye Yuan''s hand. Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly, his feet moving, directly disappearing from where he was at.


    That person clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan''s movement technique would actually be so swift. He actually grabbed nothing all of a sudden, his body involuntarily stumbling.


    This person was wearing black tight-fitting clothes, his expression abnormally cold and stern. One look and it was clear that he was not some nice person.


    When the woman saw this man, she hurriedly gave a bow and said, "I''ve seen Lord Tu Gang!"


    "Boy, you actually dare to dodge!" Tu Gang pointed at Ye Yuan and said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "What a joke! You didn''t even say hello before wanting to snatch my stuff. I''m not even allowed to dodge?"


    "Humph! You''re a newcomer, right? Don''t even have slaughter points, what did you come here pretending to be some bigshot for?! Give the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold to me, then give two loud kowtows for your Lord Tu, and that matter just now will be considered settled. Otherwise ��" Tu Gang looked at Ye Yuan with malicious intentions and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tu Gang amusedly and said with a faint smile, "Otherwise what?"


    "Although according to the Asura Arena''s rules, second level martial artists are not allowed to kill first level martial artists, there''s no problem at all in making you, this punk, lie down for a period of time!" Tu Gang said.


    Hearing the meaning in Tu Gang''s words, he was a martial artist of the second level.


    The first level and second level martial artists belonged to two different levels. Battles and living were all not together. Logically speaking, they would not have any interactions normally, but this Asura Shop was an exception.


    The first three levels'' martial artists were basically all Heaven Enlightenment Realm. The goods they required were naturally more or less the same as well. Therefore, the first three levels'' martial artists shared an Asura Shop. This was also why Ye Yuan could only reach this place through a transmission array.


    That woman could not refrain herself when she saw Tu Gang and Ye Yuan getting into a conflict. She warned Ye Yuan, "Little Brother, Lord Tu Gang is a well-renowned big shot in the second level. He''s an expert ranked 405 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. Why haven''t you hurry up and apologized to him?"


    The way the woman saw it, she was warning out of goodwill here already. A newcomer offending a powerhouse of the second level was not some wise thing.


    But Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that and asked, "Turns out that the Asura Arena still had such a rule? I wonder if the first level''s martial artists can kill the second level''s martial artists or not?"


    The moment these words were uttered, the woman and Tu Gang both froze. But the Tan Si who did not speak the entire time opened his mouth, "The Asura Arena doesn''t have this rule. This should be a loophole."


    Ye Yuan smiled, smiled very happy, and suddenly threw out a punch explosively!

    Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, Tu Gang did not get mad. He was delighted instead and said with a big laugh, "Came right on time!"


    This punch of Ye Yuan''s was not fast, looking not much different from ordinary Second Level Heaven Enlightenment Realms.


    Therefore, the way Tu Gang saw it, Ye Yuan was purely asking for a beating here!


    Tan Si shook his head and said with a sigh, "Another dunce seeking death!"


    When that attendant girl heard Tan Si''s sigh, her eyes were filled with confusion.


    She thought that Tan Si would make a move and help. After all, Tan Si''s strength looked to be much stronger. But Tan Si did not have the intention of taking action at all, and instead, he mocked Tu Gang.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    These two people wouldn''t be fools, right?thought the attendant girl in her heart.


    Tu Gang also suddenly brandished his fist, his speed incomparably abnormal. It actually reached first despite launching after Ye Yuan!


    A faint mocking smile hung at @@

 877 Addressing Each Other as Brothers

    "Humph! Does that punk called Ye Yuan really think that he''s invincible? In this Asura Arena, even a dragon has to coil up!" Lu Licheng said with a cold snort.


    In this Asura Arena, there had never been a lack of geniuses.


    These Earth Carnage Proclamation''s experts, which one of them was not peerlessly talented, with strength far surpassing those in the same level?


    "That punk probably also knew that he got into trouble. After leaving the Asura Shop, he actually chose to enter seclusion and did not enter the second level," the subordinate said.


    "Humph! He may get off today but not tomorrow! Keep a close eye for me! When he arrives at the second level, report to me immediately. I want to let him take a look at this Asura Arena''s brutality!"


    "Yes, Your Excellency! It''s just ��"


    "If you have something, just say it. Don''t hem and haw!"


    "There are quite a few rumors out there right now. Especially Lord Zong Ta there. They are all laughing at us."


    Upon hearing this, Lu Licheng''s expression became even more overcast.


    That Zong Ta was similarly a heavyweight-class figure in the second level. Regardless whether was it strength or forces, it was not at all inferior to him.


    Making such a big fool of himself this time, Zong Ta would naturally grab hold and not let go, and give a good mocking.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "This damn brat, causing me to lose so much face! I must tear him from limb to limb!" Lu Licheng gnashed his teeth in hatred, hating Ye Yuan to the bones.


    ...


    Regarding the things that happened in the second level, Ye Yuan was naturally unaware. Even if he knew, he would not care either.


    He set up an array formation to help the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorb the powers of gold element inside the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold, while he himself entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda to cultivate.


    The likelihood of Ye Yuan making progress in supreme true intent was not too high within a short time. Therefore, Ye Yuan placed the focus of cultivation on the advancement of cultivation realm.


    At present, titanic transformations already happened to Ye Yuan''s body. Even if he did not borrow the powers of medicinal pills, his cultivation speed was very fast too.


    Ye Yuan was currently comprehending the ''Bing'' character in the Nine Characters True Word Formula. After violent essence energy went through the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s tempering, it was absorbed by Ye Yuan into his body.


    After entering the Heaven Enlightenment Realm, each time Ye Yuan advanced a minor cultivation realm, it required massive amounts of essence energy.


    But ever since cultivating the ''Bing'' character, Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed was several times faster compared to before!


    Same as the ''Lin'' character, the ''Bing'' character similarly seized the good fortune of heaven and earth. But the effects of the ''Bing'' character was completely different from the ''Lin'' character. It was able to make martial artists become more sensitive toward the energy between heaven and earth. Cultivation would also yield twice the results with half the effort!


    For such a long time, Ye Yuan discovered that the effect of each word was different through comprehending this Nine Words True Character Formula.


    But there was one point, each word contained extremely profound maxims of the Great Dao. It could virtually let Ye Yuan reach the quintessence in an area.


    And this ''Bing'' character could let his cultivation speed increase tremendously.


    Ye Yuan believed that if he could cultivate the ''Bing'' character to an extremely high realm, his cultivation speed would probably be able to crush all of the Divine Realm''s geniuses!


    Even using medicinal pills to pile up cultivation realm was probably nothing more than this too.


    After advancing to Heaven Enlightenment Realm, Ye Yuan deliberately slowed down cultivation speed and fastidiously comprehended the powers of laws.


    Although this way would make his cultivation speed become slow, it could let his comprehension toward Heavenly Dao become even clearer and more comprehensive.


    After Heaven Enlightenment Realm, the most important was still comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, increasing concepts cultivation all-round.


    If one did not pursue combat power, there naturally was no problem getting help from medicinal pills. But Ye Yuan was re-walking the Martial Path presently. This step was indispensable.


    The Upper Three Realms could be said to be even more important than the six major cultivation realms before added up.


    Ye Yuan wanted to pursue the pinnacle of the martial path. He would rather walk a bit slower.


    But the ''Bing'' character plus the remolding of the primeval dragon bone made his cultivation speed no worse than any genius in the Divine Realm.


    Furthermore, along with the comprehension of the ''Bing'' character, his cultivation speed would become faster and faster.


    A month later, Ye Yuan finally broke through to Third Level Heaven Enlightenment.


    When he went to check on the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he discovered that the Grayflame Earth Sun Gold already turned into an ordinary chunk of rock. The power of gold element inside was already absorbed fully.


    Ye Yuan discovered to his joy that the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood had indeed advanced to Tier 7! With this, the power of the Origin Magnetic Field increased greatly.


    "This slaughter points is really good stuff. I''m going to inquire about it later to see if there''s any way to obtain even more slaughter points. Mmm �� It''s time to enter the second level."


    Ye Yuan had seen quite a number of good stuff in the Asura Shop''s points area. Even he was quite moved as well.


    ...


    "Congratulations to Ye Yuan, Tan Si, for entering the Asura Arena''s second level!" a melodious voice sounded out in the second level. The entire Asura Arena all knew at once.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, "Just advancing to the second level. Is there a need to raise such a big rumpus?"


    "The second level martial artists'' strength is very formidable. We got to be a little more careful. It''s said that the rank one, Zhan Wushuang, his ranking reached 150th place on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. His strength is very formidable! Still remember that Tu Gang you killed? Although his ranking wasn''t high, the backer behind him is ranked ten plus at the second level. His ranking on the Earth Carnage Proclamation is also as high as around 200!" Tan Si said.


    This one month''s time, Ye Yuan was oblivious to the outside world. But Tan Si inquired about the second level''s situation very clearly.


    That punch of Ye Yuan''s seemed to have poked the hornet''s nest. He would probably be targeted the moment he came up.


    But Ye Yuan said totally unconcernedly, "I hope that he has some common sense and doesn''t come to provoke me like that idiot underling of his."


    The people in the Asura Arena, which one was not stained full of blood on their hands? Regarding killing Tu Gang and his like, Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burden at all.


    Tan Si had nothing to say. He could not figure out where the limits of Ye Yuan''s strength lie either.


    But very clearly, when killing Tu Gang, Ye Yuan did not use full strength.


    Just arriving at the second level, Ye Yuan naturally had to stroll around a bit. But Ye Yuan barely walked two steps when he was stopped by a group of people.


    "Boy, was it you who killed Tu Gang?" A burly man at the front questioned.


    "What, are you all here to help him get justice?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that wasn''t a smile.


    That burly man was originally still sinister looking. But he suddenly lopped an arm around Ye Yuan''s shoulders and said with a big laugh, "Hahaha! Well killed! Tu Gang that fellow, he has rubbed me the wrong way long ago! I''m called Jiao Chong. In the future, we''ll be brothers, so let''s get on more intimate terms!"


    Ye Yuan still thought that he was here to find trouble. He did not think that this guy suddenly addressed him with great familiarity, looking not at all distant either.


    Ye Yuan jerked lightly, directly bouncing Jiao Chong off and said coolly, "Not everyone is qualified to address me as his brother! Who the hell are you people? State your names."


    Being easily bounced off by Ye Yuan, Jiao Chong could not help being startled inwardly,


    He originally thought that Tu Gang getting finished off was because he underestimated the enemy. But just that bit earlier, this boy''s strength could not be taken lightly!


    "Heh heh, we''re Lord Zong Ta''s subordinates! You killed Tu Gang, Lu Licheng will definitely not be satisfied until he kills you. In the future, you follow Lord Zong Ta around. With him shielding you, Lu Licheng won''t even dare to let out a fart!" Jiao Chong laughed and said.

 878 Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill

    After hearing this, Ye Yuan finally figured out this bunch of fellows'' intention for coming.


    He did not expect that his actions in the Asura Shop actually made these people give rise to the idea of soliciting him to join their side.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not have plans on joining.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Your meaning is to pull me into a partnership?" Ye Yuan said.


    Jiao Chong saw through Ye Yuan''s thoughts too and said with a smile, "I know that your strength is decent. It''s just that the second level''s situation is very different from the first level. Without a major figure shielding you, you''ll die very horribly!"


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "It''s also not impossible for me to join in, but ��"


    The moment Jiao Chong heard that there was a chance, he could not help being secretly pleased. This boy''s strength was not weak; likely not beneath his. Settling this errand, Lord Zong Ta would definitely reward greatly.


    Was still wondering how proud this boy was, looks like it was also just like that.


    As for Ye Yuan wanting to state conditions, it was within reason too. Raising his status a little, this supported the argumentation of the main topic.


    "But what?" Jiao Chong asked.


    "But it will only work if I become the boss. I don''t have the habit of being sheltered by others. It has always been me covering others," Ye Yuan looked very calm as he said.


    Jiao Chong''s expression changed when he heard that. He even thought that this fellow was quite astute. But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not know how to appreciate favors!


    "You become the boss? What a joke! Boy, don''t think that you''re amazing with a bit of strength! Let me tell you, without Boss Zong Ta''s care, you''ll be eaten in this second level until not even any scraps remain! Moreover, have you thought it through? You already offended Lu Licheng terribly by killing Tu Gang. Offending us further, you''ll find it difficult to advance even a step in the second level!" Jiao Chong said with a solemn face.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a regretful expression, "Is that so? Looks like we can''t reach an agreement. Then there''s nothing good to talk about. Make way, don''t block the path."


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and pushed aside. But this time, Jiao Chong was prepared and wanted to embarrass Ye Yuan.


    But he did not think that the force of Ye Yuan''s light push was actually extremely strong. His body was pushed to one side involuntarily.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Jiao Chong''s expression was ugly to the max.


    But Ye Yuan barely walked a few steps when he had his path blocked by another group of people again. Seeing this scene, a delighted expression showed on Jiao Chong''s face.


    Lu Licheng actually personally moved out!


    "Punk, you finally came up! Your Uncle Lu has waited very long for you!"


    Lu Licheng swept a glance at Jiao Chong ferociously. Clearly, he did not think that he came even faster than him.


    "A good dog won''t block the path! Get lost!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh, what an arrogant brat! In this second level, no one dares to talk like this to your Uncle Lu! I think, since you came up to the second level, you''ve already come to understand, right?"


    Lu Licheng had an appearance like he got Ye Yuan and did not place Ye Yuan in his sights at all.


    Ye Yuan could not help finding it funny when he heard that. This was really any random guy would all feel good about themselves!


    "Of course. My awareness has always been very high," Ye Yuan said with a guileless look.


    "Very good! Tomorrow, fighting arena, the two of us have a points gamble fight! If you dare to not agree, I''ll kill you right now!" Lu Licheng said with unparalleled overbearingness.


    Ye Yuan''s brows jumped up when he heard that and said, "Points gamble fight?"


    The Tan Si by the side moved closer and explained, "Points gamble fight is when both parties each put forth a portion of points and carry out a deathmatch. They must determine life and death in the fighting arena! The victor can obtain the other party''s points."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help getting very interested and asked Lu Licheng, "How many points do you have?"


    Ye Yuan showed an excited look, but it made Lu Licheng stunned.


    "How many points I have, you don''t need to care! You used 15 points at the Asura Shop. Right now, you only have five points on hand. Let''s bet five points!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard and said, "Too little. I''m lacking points very much right now. How about this, I''ll raise the stakes, bet all of your points!"


    The moment Ye Yuan''s words came out, the surroundings could not help being speechless.


    "This guy is a moron, right? Just that bit of strength of his wants to bet with Lu Licheng all of his points?"


    "Even Zong Ta dare not say to be able to retreat unscathed in a deathmatch with Lu Licheng either. This boy wouldn''t think that by getting a wipeout in the first level, he can also do whatever he wants coming to the second level, right? The second level''s martial artists, any random one that goes to the first level can also get a wipeout!"


    "Haha! Maybe he thinks this way! The first level is already so weak, how strong can the second level be? There are idiots every year, this year is especially more."


    Jiao Chong was not far away. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, he could not help holding his face with his face.


    He finally understood why Ye Yuan would say that sort of arrogant and conceited words earlier. Could it be that this boy was completely a fool?


    Jiao Chong''s strength was roughly the same as Tu Gang; also around Earth Carnage Proclamation 400th place.


    But 400th place and 200th place, the gap in-between this was akin to a heavenly chasm!


    Although similarly Heaven Enlightenment Realm, the two people''s strength simply had no way of mentioning in the same breath. If not for so, why would he, an Earth Carnage Proclamation expert, throw himself under a same-realm martial artist?


    "Hahaha! Did you all hear it? He wants to raise the stakes and bet all of my points with me! Boy, your Uncle Lu has 35 points. Why don''t you say what you''ll use to make up for it! Don''t tell me that you don''t know how valuable these extra 30 points are!"


    Lu Licheng was currently roaring with laughter when a medicinal pill was placed in front of him. His smile withdrew, the expression on his face gradually became solemn.


    "This �� This is a transcendent-grade Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill?"


    Recognizing the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hand, Lu Licheng was no longer composed!


    The Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill was a top-tier Tier 7 medicinal pill for cleansing the marrow. It was a huge temptation to Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists. This is because it could help martial artists to break through the fetters of Heaven Enlightenment Realm, and then to step into Phaseless Realm!


    Of course, with the strength of Earth Carnage Proclamation experts, breaking through to Phaseless Realm was not hard.


    To them, what was truly hard was breaking through to Dao Profound later, reaching emperor realm!


    The so-called Law-less and Phaseless were not just the martial artist''s comprehension on Heavenly Dao, but it was also on the fleshy body.


    Breaking through to Phaseless Realm, there was a process of cleansing the marrow. Remould the fleshy body anew, and from there, lay down the foundation for breaking through to Dao Profound Realm.


    Then what kind of extent this marrow cleansing reached was very particular.


    One could say that this process determined how far the martial artist could walk in the future to a very large degree.


    The Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill was of much higher rank compared to the medicinal pills on the market to help martial artists breakthrough to the Phaseless Realm! What was even more damnable was that this Tier 7 medicinal pill was too hard to concoct. Ordinary alchemists simply could not refine it!


    Therefore, even though the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill''s reputation was out there, those truly able to obtain it were extremely, extremely few.


    This was also why Lu Licheng would lose composure like so upon recognizing it.


    This medicinal pill was extremely rare. Moreover, it had a demand, but no market. Valuing at 30 points was more than enough.


    "At least you know about the good stuff. How is it? Can you bet all of your points now?" Ye Yuan kept the medicinal pill and said.


    Lu Licheng sucked in a deep breath and finally calmed his state of mind. He switched to a cold smile and said, "Since you want to give such a valuable medicinal pill to me, what reason do I still have to decline?"This goes in-depth into Buddhist teachings, so I''m going to give a brief translation/interpretation: Law-less is not exactly no laws, but a paramount realm of creating something from nothing. It''s to not be restricted by ''having'' and ''nothing.'' Only by merging with Dao, can one encompass all laws. Phaseless = not being persistent on any specific form or concept, yet embodying any phase. One will be able to manifest out any form.

 879 Timely Rain

    On the second day, the fighting arena was packed full of people. The news of Ye Yuan and Lu Licheng''s points gamble fight caused an uproar in the second level.


    But what made them even more concerned was the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    The allure of this medicinal pill was seriously too great.


    "Lu Licheng''s luck is seriously too good. There''s actually a fool who''s giving him a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill. Why do I not run into this kind of good thing?''


    "Screw off, you! Even if you obtained the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill, can you defend it?"


    "Heh, that''s true! Forget about me, even Lu Licheng himself might not be able to protect it too. Ah, Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill, I don''t believe that those few have no interest!"


    "Shhh �� You don''t want your life anymore? You mustn''t anyhow say such things!"


    Right now, Ye Yuan was just like a little child carrying a gold piece and walking around on the bustling streets in the eyes of the second level''s martial artists. Everywhere were ferocious looks.


    One had to admit, Ye Yuan''s strength was very formidable. But to Lu Licheng this level of existence, he was definitely still too weak.


    On the fighting arena''s grandstand, in an inconspicuous corner, an elderly person and a youth were currently standing with their hands behind their backs.


    "Old Zhu, looks like you''re hell-bent on the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill as well!" said the youth with a sarcastic smile.


    The elderly person''s face was cold as he said coolly, "The pot calling the kettle black. If you''re not interested, you won''t show up here either."


    "Heh, the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill is a legendary medicinal pill. Even you, Old Zhu, were moved. How can I, a junior brat, not be moved? It''s just that after today, whose hands this medicinal pill lands in will have to depend on each one''s ability," the youth said.


    The old man shot the youth a scornful glance and said, "Bullying this old man, is it? This time, for the sake of the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill, I want to take a look at your, Feng Shao''s, means!"


    The youth smiled but did not speak. But the two persons'' gazes turned toward the fighting arena. In the fighting arena, Ye Yuan and Lu Licheng''s life and death battle was able to start.


    "Brat, before dying, I still have to give you thanks, for delivering to me such a precious medicinal pill!" Lu Licheng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a pleased expression.


    Ye Yuan still had that indifferent look as he said, "Your esteemed self is really a timely rain. You know that this Little Lord, I, am lacking points, and you delivered yourself to my doorsteps the moment I came up. Really endlessly grateful."


    Lu Licheng smiled coldly and said, "Brat, you don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Your Uncle Lu will let you take a look today at what the true strength of a second level martial artist is!"


    Done talking, the five stars on Lu Licheng''s glabella suddenly lit up. A furious killing intent wreaked havoc on the field and was actually even more violent compared to Tan Si.


    A long halberd brandishing, killing intent was piercingly cold!


    "Lu Licheng''s second-stage Slaughter Supreme True Intent is already approaching the great circle of perfection and is already not far from third-stage! This boy''s strength is obviously not weak. But he only has less than four stars on Slaughter Concept. I want to see what methods he has to deal with the situation," on the grandstand, the youth was filled with anticipation as he said.


    "I heard that this brat''s fleshy body is extremely formidable. When he was at the first level, he directly blew up his opponent with one punch. I reckon that this should be his greatest reliance," the elderly man said.


    Looking at news from all-round, Ye Yuan''s strength was definitely not what ordinary martial artists could compare to.


    Although the specific circumstances inside the Asura Shop did not spread out, without a doubt, Ye Yuan''s strength in itself could not be underestimated to be able to kill Tu Gang.


    It was just that in comparison, Lu Licheng this veteran expert was clearly more promising.


    "Heavenly Halberd Frenzied Slaughter!"


    Lu Licheng gave a fierce roar. The long halberd drew a massive semi-circle and directly cleaved down towards the top of Ye Yuan''s head.


    The long halberd had an overwhelming momentum and incredible power. This move encompassed an overwhelming tremendous force and actually pierced through the array formation, blowing up gusts of fierce wind on the grandstand.


    Facing this staggering move, Ye Yuan actually did not move a muscle, allowing Lu Licheng to do as he liked and what he liked!


    Boom!


    The long halberd landed on the ground, smashing out an enormous pit on the earth''s surface. Debris scattered around, smashing onto the array formation, turning into a pile of dust.


    A portion flew onto Ye Yuan''s body, likewise, turning into a pile of dust.


    Everyone was stunned, not understanding what happened.


    "What the hell is Lu Licheng doing? Testing moves? Started off with a bang and ended with a whimper. This move also deviated too far off the mark, right?"


    "Odd! Too strange! Lu Licheng isn''t someone who shows mercy. Why was this move so off-form?"


    "When I saw Lu Licheng''s move just now, it frightened me badly. His strength is clearly even stronger than before. But this result ��"


    Lu Licheng''s move smashed the fighting arena into a mess. It was just that although this move''s destructive power was shocking, it was too far away from Ye Yuan. The move was completely unable to cause any substantial damage.


    From beginning to the end, Ye Yuan stood there not moving a muscle, as if he had not done anything at all.


    This kind of scene was too bizarre.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Licheng and said with a smile, "I didn''t expect that in this Asura Arena, there''s still such a polite opponent! Not easy, oh, not easy! In order to express respect towards your esteemed self, this punch, I''ll call forth all my power!"


    How did the current Lu Licheng still have any hint of the composure from before? His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with apprehension.


    Because of the isolation of the array formation, the people on the grandstands completely did not know what happened in the arena. But he was perfectly aware.


    His move of his was launched aiming at Ye Yuan. Who knew that half-way, a massive force suddenly appeared, forcefully altering the trajectory of his attack, making a huge deviation occur between this move of his and the originally planned trajectory from there.


    Under this enormous force, he actually had no command over himself!


    "You �� You �� actually know Origin ��"


    Lu Licheng''s words had yet to be said finish when Ye Yuan moved!


    A slow and average punch. It actually looked somewhat soft and lacking strength.


    The feeling that this punch gave the martial artists on the grandstand was that, regardless of who was on the field, they could easily avoid it, and even counter-kill Ye Yuan.


    But Lu Licheng felt completely different facing this punch!


    Facing this neither too slow nor too fast punch, he actually had nowhere to evade!


    This was the moment of life and death. Lu Licheng urged his essence energy to the limits, wanting to avoid this punch of Ye Yuan''s.


    However, right at this time, that strange force appeared once more.


    "NO!"


    Ye Yuan''s punch suddenly vanished before his eyes. That hoarse and exhausted shout suddenly stopped.


    Under everyone''s stares, Lu Licheng was pulverized into a scattered mess of flesh and blood by Ye Yuan with one punch, completely losing his human form.


    The next instance, Lu Licheng''s Absolute Kill Token slowly flew out. Slaughter Concept slowly flowed towards Ye Yuan''s body.


    The fourth star on Ye Yuan''s glabella became clearer and clearer, and it finally formed!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Lu Licheng''s Slaughter Concept was a lot. Ye Yuan also absorbed his fill in one go.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan also became aware that inside his Absolute Kill Token, 35 points appeared out of thin air.


    All of a sudden, he owned 40 slaughter points.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and was rather surprised as he said, "Is this the Slaughter Supreme True Intent? Indeed impressive! No wonder this Asura Arena is so brutal, but so many geniuses flock to it like ducks!"


    On the grandstand, that elderly person and the youth earlier exchanged a glance, both incomparably astounded.

 880 Ignoring

    No need to have talent, no need to comprehend; as long as one triumphed over their opponents continuously, they could comprehend a supreme true intent. It was indeed too alluring.


    Even if one did not comprehend to the great circle of perfection realm, the power of a supreme true intent was also unparalleled.


    Breaking through to four-star soul general at this moment, Ye Yuan had an additional supreme true intent out of thin air just like this.


    Counting the previous two, Ye Yuan already possessed three supreme true intents at present!


    In this Asura Arena, it was probably a one of its kind.


    And the shock that Ye Yuan set off was still continuing. Everyone was all somewhat uncertain what it meant and totally did not understand what on earth happened.


    Currently, Zong Ta and Jiao Chong were also below the stage, the expressions on their faces wonderfully fascinating.


    Especially Jiao Chong, recalling those words said to Ye Yuan previously, he could not help sweating profusely.


    He only came back to his senses at this time. Turns out that Ye Yuan was not joking previously. He was actually being serious!


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, if he really joined, who would be the boss if he did not become the boss?


    Zong Ta''s strength was neck-to-neck with Lu Licheng. The two people''s ranking was also very close. For Ye Yuan to be able to kill Lu Licheng so easily, he naturally had the strength to kill Zong Ta too.


    Thinking up to here, Jiao Chong could not help secretly rejoicing about Lu Licheng suddenly popping out at that time.


    If not for Lu Licheng, if he compelled Ye Yuan to join the team back then, his corpse would probably be strewn on the streets already.


    In the corner, the youth''s expression had indescribable solemnness as he said, "Old Zhu, saw it clearly?"


    Old Zhu slowly nodded, his gaze likewise unbelievably somber as he said with a nod, "Absolutely the Origin Magnetic Field, no mistake! Moreover, looking at it, the power of his Origin Magnetic Field is not small. Forget about you and me, even those freaks on the third level would likely suffer considerable hindrance too."


    "Him possessing the Origin Magnetic Field is practically in an undefeatable position already! Unless one''s strength far surpasses his, one can only be led by him by the nose!" the youth said.


    "Not just that! Did you see clearly that move he killed Lu Licheng with? It looked like he relied entirely on the strength of the fleshy body, but at that instant of final eruption, it absolutely still contained an extremely powerful concept of fire! If I didn''t see wrongly, it should be the extremely hard to comprehend Scorching Supreme True Intent!" The more Old Zhu talked, the more alarmed he became inwardly.


    The youth suddenly could not help laughing in spite of himself as he said, "To think that you and I were still having designs on the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill. Thinking about it now, it''s really a joke! Such an opponent, better to provoke less!"


    At this point, these two people were clearly incredibly wary of Ye Yuan already.


    No wonder Ye Yuan dared to take out the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill without fear for anything. Turns out that he really had this strength!


    "Hey, is there still anyone coming up? This second level should also be consecutively winning 20 matches to advance, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out in the fighting arena. But what replied him was silence.


    He said these words incomparably haughtily. But at this moment, not a single person felt that he was arrogant. Although he won very bizarrely, Ye Yuan''s strength left no room for doubt!


    Those martial artists glanced around, looking at each other. But who would dare to go up the stage at this time?


    Ye Yuan only killed a martial artist ranked ten plus at the second level. There were still over a dozen existences stronger than Lu Licheng in front.


    But at this instant, these ten over people all collectively lost their voices.


    "This points gamble fight is rather interesting. Is there still anyone continuing?" Ye Yuan looked at the audience and said again, "I believe that everyone also knows, I have a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill in my hands!"


    The current Ye Yuan was just like a bad uncle kidnapping kids. That appearance was detestable to the extreme.


    But under this sort of situation, no one dared to go up the stage to fight with him.


    What a joke? Points gamble fights could only be determined with life and death. Who dared to go up and seek death?


    Time slowly trickled by, looking as if Ye Yuan was going to get a wipeout once again soon.


    "I''ll challenge you!"


    Right then, a voice sounded out. A youngster dressed in black tight-fitting clothes went up to the fighting arena.


    Ye Yuan looked over and discovered that this youth''s face had unswerving determination, his momentum quite imposing. He was absolutely an expert.


    "Good. How many points do you have? I''ll bet all of it!" Ye Yuan said very interestedly.


    But that youth shook his head and said, "I''m not having a points gamble fight with you, just purely challenging you!"


    When the youth went up to the stage, below the stage was actually already whispering around in subdued voices. They were clearly very surprised by this black-clothed youth going up the stage.


    But the moment those words came out, everyone''s jaws hit the ground.


    "No way, right? The Leng Qing who has made a clean sweep of all obstacles in the second level actually capitulated! He doesn''t dare to have a points gamble fight with Ye Yuan!"


    "I truly didn''t expect that this Ye Yuan actually hauled Leng Qing out. He has already not taken action for very long. He''s the only expert in the second level to enter the Earth Carnage Proclamation''s first 150th place and has already been without any challenges and battles for a very long!"


    "The second level''s number one expert actually don''t dare to say to definitely win Ye Yuan either?"


    Turns out that this black-clothed youth was actually the second level''s number one expert, Leng Qing! Except, when Ye Yuan suggested a points gamble fight, Leng Qing actually backed off!


    Very clearly, Leng Qing did not have the confidence to win Ye Yuan at all. The reason why he went up the stage to challenge Ye Yuan was just that he encountered an opponent he was interested in. He wanted to come up and compare notes a bit; that was all!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    If a points gamble fight was carried out, then there was no leeway to maneuver. The two people must carry out a life and death great battle, all the way until one side dies.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he said with a regretful look, "How boring to not gamble points. Then forget it, not fighting anymore today!"


    Finished talking, under everyone''s stunned gazes, Ye Yuan actually left the fighting arena directly.


    Ye Yuan already fought a match today and could totally not accept Leng Qing''s challenge.


    The second level''s rule was that a match must be fought every three days. After this match, Ye Yuan could await the battle arranged by the Asura Arena three days later.


    Leng Qing was the synonym for invincibility in the second level. There had never been anyone who dared to speak this way to him before!


    Everyone did not think that today, Leng Qing was actually ignored by someone!


    Yet, Leng Qing''s face did not have any look of unhappiness at all. He said coldly, "Fine. Three days later, we''ll fight again!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and left.


    "Tan Si, who''s that kid, so arrogant? He can have a showdown with me if he wants to fight me? Isn''t the arrangement of the fights decided by the Asura Arena?" on the way back, Ye Yuan asked Tan Si.


    Tan Si could not help being speechless when he heard that. Talking about arrogant, was there anyone more arrogant than you today?


    "At every level, the people ranked in the top ten all have special privileges. Because their strength is sufficient to enter the next level. So whether they fought or not, it is already not important. And behind them, there are people backing them up. Although I don''t know who is supporting them, arranging one match, I think it shouldn''t be a problem. Also, that black-clothed youth is called Leng Qing. He''s the second level''s strongest person! Beating him, you''ll be the second level''s boss!" Tan Si said.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "What does the second level''s boss count as? Those guys in the third level are the Heaven Enlightenment Realm''s true geniuses! If my conjectures are right, there are probably quite a few people who comprehended two supreme true intents! Only by fighting with these true geniuses can one find some pleasure."

 881 Slaughter Sword Ar

    "This Slaughter Concept is really mystical. It''s actually like it''s inscribed in my body. There''s not much difference than the supreme true intents I comprehended myself."


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, the killing intent in his eyes gradually faded.


    These three day''s time, he had constantly been understanding the Slaughter Supreme True Intent that he had just obtained.


    Ye Yuan discovered that this Slaughter Supreme True Intent could be released and withdrawn freely. It actually did not have a shred of stagnant feel. He could not help sighing in admiration at these mystical aspects.


    To any martial artist, concepts comprehension involved patience and painstaking work. Not a hint of choosing the easy way was permissible.


    But this Slaughter Concept was the only supreme true intent that could be grasped without needing to comprehend. It was precisely because of so that the Divine Realm would have so many young talents that came to the Chaotic Devil Sea and entered the Asura Arena.


    Among these, there were quite a number of people who have already comprehended a supreme true intent. Adding in another Slaughter Supreme True Intent, their strength would have a substantial increase within a short period.


    But Ye Yuan discovered that this Slaughter Concept was linked in many ways to the Absolute Kill Token. It seemed to rely on the Absolute Kill Token to exist.


    Looks like this Absolute Kill Token was the inherent law holding up the Asura Arena''s operations! But was there really such a good thing?


    Regarding this Absolute Kill Token, Ye Yuan kept on having a strange feeling. But as for where it was strange specifically, he could not pinpoint it either.


    He once used all kinds of methods to examine the Absolute Kill Token before. But could not find any trace of improperness.


    However, regarding this supreme true intent that was practically picked up for free, Ye Yuan still continued to have some suspicions.


    "Acquired the Slaughter Concept. But I''m still lacking a martial technique to match it. Looks like I got to make a trip to the Asura Shop again."


    ...


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter the Asura Shop once more, the one receiving him was still that female attendant from last time. It was just that this time, she became very warm.


    "Si Yin congratulates Sir for overpowering all heroes at the second level! Did Sir come this time in order to select a slaughter martial technique?" the female attendant said.


    Ye Yuan was greatly surprised. Clearly, he did not expect that this lady actually guessed his intention for coming.


    Seemingly seeing through Ye Yuan''s thoughts, Si Yin said, "Generally, martial artists who just became four-star soul generals would all come to the Asura Shop to choose martial techniques."


    Only then did Ye Yuan come to a realization. He said, "Then is there any impressive martial techniques at your place here?"


    "There naturally is. But the formidable martial techniques are all housed in the inner-pavilion. It''s just that ��" Talking until here, Si Yin could not help hesitating for a moment.


    "You''re worried that my points aren''t enough?" Ye Yuan said rather surprisedly.


    Since the female attendant knew that he had a points gamble fight with Lu Licheng, she presumably should know how many points he had.


    He had 40 points in his hands right now. It was actually not enough to buy a set of martial technique?


    The female attendant nodded and said, "Ordinary martial technique, I believe Sir won''t take fancy of them. The truly powerful martial techniques of the Slaughter Concept require at least 80 points. Those even more powerful techniques require more than 200 points!"


    Ye Yuan could not help drawing a cold breath when he heard that too. A martial technique selling at such a horrifying price, this was also too absurd, right?


    "Bring me in to take a look first!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Following Si Yin into the inner-pavilion, Ye Yuan also jumped in fright. Martial techniques related to the Slaughter Concept was actually as many as several dozen copies, from Tier 7 to Tier 9.


    But there was one point; the prices of these martial techniques were all very high.


    Even the price of the most inferior Tier 7 martial technique reached 20 to 30 points.


    As for the Tier 9 martial techniques, they basically all started at 50 points.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance, but his gaze stopped on a martial technique right in the middle.


    "Isn''t the price of this Slaughter Sword Art a little too absurd, yeah?" Ye Yuan pointed at this martial technique and said speechlessly.


    This martial technique named Slaughter Sword Art actually needed a horrifying 500 points!


    Si Yin smiled and said, "This Slaughter Sword Art is our Asura Shop''s supreme store treasure. It''s said that this martial technique cultivated to the extreme can even be on par with the Ten Great Divine Kings! Doesn''t Sir feel that it is worth this price?"


    Upon hearing, Ye Yuan could not help becoming interested too. If a martial technique could reach the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings, forget about 500 points, even 1000 points were not considered expensive too.


    It was just that these words being uttered out of the mouth of a puny little female attendant, how much credibility did it have?


    "Ten Great Divine Kings? Huhu, in the entire Chaotic Devil Sea, are there existences rivaling the Ten Great Divine Kings?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan with a slight smile as she said, "There are goodness knows how many divine kings in the Divine Realm. But those able to become Ten Great Divine Kings existences, are only those 10 people after all. No matter how strong the martial technique is, it also requires the person training in it to be strong. Other people can''t cultivate to the Ten Great Divine Kings''s boundary, doesn''t mean that Sir can''t as well. Don''t you agree, Sir?"


    Si Yin finished talking and discovered that Ye Yuan''s gaze was currently looking straight at her. He said with a half-smile, "Looks like, Miss hopes for me to cultivate this martial technique very much!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    A trace of bewilderment flashed across Si Yin''s heart. She did not expect that this boy in front of her was actually so sensitive.


    "N-Not at all? It''s just that Sir asked, this maidservant is just answering Sir''s question," Si Yin hurriedly said.


    "Heh, even if you have a trap, what do I, Ye Yuan, have to fear! This cultivation method, I want it! But �� can Miss Si Yin teach me how to obtain even more points or not?" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan browsed through all of the cultivation methods. Very clearly, this Slaughter Sword Art was the most suited to him.


    Ye Yuan could feel that behind this Asura Arena, there was a pair of large hands manipulating in secret.


    Regardless whether was it Slaughter Concept or martial techniques, it could all be a trap.


    But to be able to toy with so many geniuses in the palm of his hand, behind this definitely had an earth-shaking plot!


    To Ye Yuan, to be able to live harmoniously in peace was naturally the best. If the other party did not have eyes and wanted to play some tricks on him, he would return it tit for tat without the slightest politeness too!


    Although Ye Yuan felt that it was not proper, he similarly yearned immensely for strength.


    To Ye Yuan, having one more supreme true intent was obviously something that he wished for.


    Him coming to the Chaotic Devil Sea, on the one hand, it was for the sake of the Skandha Divine Stone. The other was for the sake of this supreme true intent.


    Now that there was a heaven-defying martial technique on par with the Nine Suns Burning Heaven placed in front of him, Ye Yuan saying that he was not moved was fake.


    Si Yin laughed coldly in her heart. The Asura Arena has existed for so many years! The geniuses are not just you alone! Having an unduly high opinion of one''s self, this is a common failing for geniuses! In the end, you still can''t resist the temptation of power!


    "There are many ways to obtain points. But there''s one thing, that is to have some contribution to the Asura Arena. I heard that Sir has a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill in possession. If Sir is willing to transfer possession of it to the Asura Shop, we''re willing to purchase it at the price of 50 points." Si Yin said.


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised look. He said with a smile, "Just the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill will do? Then if I refine other medicinal pills, can it also be exchanged for points?"


    Si Yin said, "That will have to depend on what kind of medicinal pills sir refine. If it''s like the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone, however many you have, we want as many!"

 882 Pummeling All the Same

    "Is that true?"


    Hearing Si Yin explained this, Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up too.


    Si Yin said with a smile, "Will I lie to Sir? These kinds of short-in-supply medicinal pills are extremely popular among those geniuses ranked towards the front of the third level. We purchase at a price of 50 points, but we can sell at an even higher price."


    Ye Yuan smiled too when he heard that and said, "Huhu, you all really have the intrinsic characteristics of a merchant! Fine, since that''s the case, we''ll go out and talk."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned right around and exited the inner-pavilion. Si Yin felt baffled but still followed after.


    Ye Yuan came to the points area, retrieved the Absolute Kill Token and Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill, and handed them to Si Yin, saying, "Help me exchange the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill for points. Plus the 40 points in the Absolute Kill Token, a total of 90 points, exchange all of them into Tier 7 spirit medicines!"


    Ye Yuan''s appearance was just like a magnate spending large sums of money lavishly, incomparably generous.


    Si Yin could not help being very surprised when she heard that and said in a daze, "Does Sir want to reconsider it a little? Although medicinal pills can exchange for more points, these spirit medicines are all very valuable. Refining into medicinal pills is also extremely complicated and difficult. The success rate isn''t high. Sir might not be able to earn back this 90 points even if you spend them all!"


    To alchemists, the success rate was a very big problem. Especially a medicinal pill like the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill. The difficulty of refining was extremely high.


    In Si Yin''s view, even if Ye Yuan was really an alchemist, refining a Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill would definitely expend many materials too.


    Plus Ye Yuan''s spending money like water attitude, it was very easy to make Si Yin mistakenly think that Ye Yuan was born in some major noble family, so that was why she voiced out to warn.


    But Ye Yuan said without a care, "There''s no need to trouble Miss Si Yin to worry about this. Either way, these points were obtained easily too. Even if it gets squandered away, it doesn''t matter either. Worst comes to worst, I''ll find some more people to carry out a points gamble fight when I reach the third level."


    Si Yin was speechless when she heard it. To mention points gamble fights so easily, there was probably just this one in front of her.


    Ye Yuan''s indifferent attitude was regarded by people as a fool at one point. But reality proved that he really had the strength to crush a level!


    Si Yin did not doubt the least bit that even if Ye Yuan went to the third level, his strength would be in the front ranks too.


    Since Ye Yuan already said it like this, Si Yin could not very well say anything else. She could only go help him exchange the Heavenly Sea Spirit Brimstone Pill to points.


    "Purple Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Profound Cold Icesoul Fruit, Iceflame Profound Sovereign Ganoderma ��"


    Ye Yuan uttered a long string of spirit medicine names like he was informing dish names. Si Yin actually could not quite keep up with his speed following behind Ye Yuan.


    One had to admit, this Asura Shop really had quite a bit of good stuff. Some spirit medicines were all very hard to find in the outside world. This place actually had everything that one could wish for.


    It was just that these spirit medicines'' reserves were limited. A lot of them could only extract out two to three portions of medicine embryo, and even only extract one portion.


    With this, it put an extremely high demand on the alchemist.


    But this was not an issue to Ye Yuan at all.


    Even his success rate for refining Tier 9 medicinal pills were shockingly high, not to mention mere Tier 7 medicinal pills.


    All of this was owed to his extremely solid foundational skills.


    Finally, Ye Yuan purchased 30 over stalks of spirit medicines, making Si Yin dumbfounded from watching.


    This was simply an example of a dumb person flushed with money!


    Taking 90 points to exchange for 30 over stalks of spirit medicines, no matter how one looked at it, it was a very retarded behavior too.


    "Sir, these are all of the spirit medicine that you want. It''s all inside the storage ring. Do a check," Si Yin passed Ye Yuan a storage ring and said.


    "No need to check. Miss Si Yin is so beautiful, would you still lie to me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Si Yin''s face reddened and actually revealed the bashful attitude of a maiden. One would wonder if her subordinates would sigh with admiration at Exalt Si Yin''s mind-boggling acting skills when they see this situation or not.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly felt the Absolute Kill Token heat up. A message transmitted into his mind.


    "En? Going to battle already. It''s indeed with that Leng Qing!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Si Yin said with a broad smile, "I wish Sir a triumphant victory as soon as your banners are unfurled!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "That''s of course! This guy doesn''t have the guts to have a points gamble fight with me and actually still dare to use this sort of despicable means to force me to fight with him. I must pummel him until even his mother can''t recognize him!"


    ...


    When Ye Yuan rushed to the fighting arena, the grandstands were already fully occupied.


    A showdown between an upstart and a veteran of the second level was destined to draw massive amounts of attention.


    On the grandstands, an elderly and a youth showed up once again.


    "Feng Shao, what do you think Leng Qing''s chances of victory in this match is?"


    The youth shook his head and said, "Old Zhu, although we can''t win against Leng Qing even if we tried our utmost best, I still feel that he isn''t Ye Yuan''s match!"


    "That �� I don''t think so! Leng Qing has clearly seen that fight on that day too. He probably still has some confidence since he dares to go up the stage to challenge Ye Yuan. It''s just that how much this assurance is, that''s hard to say," Old Zhu said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The youth glanced at Old Zhu but did not say anything else.


    The moment Ye Yuan laid eyes on Leng Qing, his expression darkened: "You this fellow, to actually dare play schemes with me! You''re dead!"


    Leng Qing said coolly, "Whatever abilities you have, feel free to use them!"


    "As you wish!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly burst forth. A fist arrived in front of Leng Qing in a blink of an eye.


    Leng Qing''s expression changed because Ye Yuan''s fist disappeared!


    This move again!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s one punch struck the fighting arena''s grand array until it trembled. Waves of exclamations involuntarily came from the grandstands.


    "Oh my goodness! I''m covered all over in goosebumps! If this punch were to land on my body, my entire person would probably be gone."


    "Too powerful! No wonder Lu Licheng was actually smashed into dregs by him even with his powerful strength!"


    In the previous match, all of the force was received by Lu Licheng alone. Therefore, they did not sense the horror of Ye Yuan''s punch.


    But this time, it reflected clearly on the grand array. Only then did they know how terrifying this punch was.


    However, this punch ultimately still missed.


    Leng Qing actually avoided this unavoidable punch of Ye Yuan''s!


    Ever since Ye Yuan mastered the Void Dragon Shadow Punch, this was still the first time being dodged by his opponents. This also involuntarily made him somewhat surprised.


    "Concept of Wind!"


    Ye Yuan perceived it, the reason why Leng Qing could avoid his punch was precisely because the other party comprehended the Concept of Wind. Furthermore, it was even the Speed Supreme True Intent!


    The Speed Supreme True Intent and the Wind Flow True Intent Ye Yuan comprehended both belonged to concepts of wind. But the attributes pursued had nothing in common with each other.


    Comprehending the Speed Supreme True Intent could let the martial artist reach a height far beyond other people''s reach.


    Myriad laws under the heaven, only speed is unbroken!


    In the center of Leng Qing''s forehead had six stars! His Slaughter Concept was actually even a notch above Lu Licheng''s!


    Two kinds of supreme true intent were precisely where his confidence for being invincible in the second level lied.


    "Not bad! You really are very strong! If I didn''t have a bit of confidence, how could I dare to come up the stage to challenge you?" Leng Qing said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "So what if two kinds of supreme true intent? You dare to scheme against me; I''ll pummel you all the same!"

 883 Earning Points

    "Wind-Movement Shadow Kill! Netherworld Hundred Kill Saber!"


    This time, Leng Qing struck first to gain the initiative. His opening move was two mighty supreme true intent martial techniques!


    A swift to the extreme movement technique and an unrivaled saber art, the two gave people an incredible visual impact sensation.


    "Leng Qing unleashed his ultimate move! In this second level, how long has it already been since anyone could force him to go all out?"


    "With this, someone can finally pose a threat to Ye Yuan, right? After all, Leng Qing strength would also be rather decent even when placed in the third level."


    "This Ye Yuan is too arrogant! I want to see how he''ll still be cocky if he can''t keep up with that swift to the extreme speed of Leng Qing!"


    But that one elderly and one youth shook their heads endlessly on the grandstand. This Wind-Movement Shadow Kill was the martial technique they had the biggest headache over.


    Coupled with the Speed Supreme True Intent, Leng Qing was fast beyond imagination.


    But they knew that Ye Yuan still had the Origin Magnetic Field that was not unleashed yet!


    This was speed''s greatest jinx.


    Leng Qing''s figure suddenly burst out, directly vanishing before everyone''s eyes.


    But everyone all knew that it was not that he disappeared, but he was fast until the naked eye already could not see.


    Bang!


    Everyone saw Leng Qing display his figure, flying out backward, and slamming fiercely onto the grand array.


    Following that, Ye Yuan pounced forward and chased after in Leng Qing''s direction.


    Leng Qing''s strength was clearly much stronger compared to Lu Licheng. Although he suffered a punch, he did not lose combat capability.


    Seeing Ye Yuan chase after, he was greatly alarmed and hastily deployed his movement technique, wanting to escape Ye Yuan''s pursuit.


    Ye Yuan laughed and smiled. "Want to run? How can it be that easy?"


    Origin Magnetic Field deploying, it was like Leng Qing fell into a quagmire, his speed falling drastically.


    Bang! Another punch.


    But Leng Qing''s speed was indeed very fast. He avoided most of Ye Yuan''s force before barely managing to not be crippled.


    The power of Ye Yuan''s one punch was seriously too fearsome.


    The martial artists on the grandstand were already struck dumb with astonishment. On the fighting arena, one chased and one ran, completely not like fighting. It was more like a game of cat-and-mouse.


    What was damnable was that the one being chased was the second level''s number one person, Leng Qing!


    This scene seriously made people feel too subverted.


    Leng Qing''s strength was clearly much stronger than Lu Licheng''s. But facing Ye Yuan, he was likewise being pummeled until he could not raise his head.


    This guy''s strength was truly ridiculously powerful.


    "I concede!"


    This was an unequal fight and was long unable to continue already.


    Except, Leng Qing only found a trace of opportunity to catch his breath now, and said the words to admit defeat.


    Following Leng Qing admitting defeat, his Slaughter Concept flowed over towards Ye Yuan''s body. The sixth star became much dimmer all at once.


    The higher the rank of the soul general, the more Slaughter Concept lost after defeat. All at once, the fourth star on Ye Yuan''s forehead became bright.


    Advancing another step and the fifth star would be appearing.


    At this moment, Leng Qing felt like his entire person was on the verge of falling into pieces. There was not one spot that did not hurt from head to toe.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Even if his willpower was firm, he was injured until he contorted his face in pain at this time.


    "M-Many thanks for Brother Ye for showing mercy," Leng Qing sucked in cold breaths as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You and Lu Licheng are different. Your offense didn''t deserve death."


    That Tu Gang and Lu Licheng clearly gave rise to killing intent towards Ye Yuan. So Ye Yuan cut them down mercilessly without any politeness.


    Although Leng Qing forced Ye Yuan to fight with him, Ye Yuan could sense that he was only tempering himself through battles. There was a fundamental difference in-between this.


    Towards such an opponent, Ye Yuan did not mind sparing his life.


    It was just that Leng Qing''s compelling method made Ye Yuan somewhat displeased. So that was why he would make a move to mete out punishment.


    The people on the grandstand were stunned long ago already. The ever-triumphant Leng Qing was actually defeated so utterly. He even needed Ye Yuan''s charity before he was able to escape with his life by luck.


    A Third Level Heaven Enlightenment was actually daunting to this sort of extent. This was an extremely rare thing in the Asura Arena.


    At least, they had not seen such incident before.


    Even the second level''s strongest, Leng Qing, became Ye Yuan''s vanquished opponent. Ye Yuan naturally obtained the qualifications to advance to the third level.


    But Ye Yuan was not in a hurry. To him, the pressing matter on hand was to get enough points to exchange for the Slaughter Sword Art.


    After the battle with Leng Qing, Ye Yuan immediately entered seclusion and started refining pills.


    ...


    Five days later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion and directly went to the Asura Shop.


    When Ye Yuan placed nine small bottles in front of Si Yin, her mouth opened into a circle shape, and she did not recover to her senses for very long.


    "Mouth opening so big, it can stuff a fist in already," Ye Yuan said with a snide smile.


    Si Yin froze and finally came back to her senses. This time, her shocked expression was not feigned but genuine astonishment.


    Ye Yuan purchased a total of 30 over spirit medicines and actually refined nine completed medicinal pills!


    Of course, if she knew that what Ye Yuan refined was far from just nine, who knew what she would think.


    Ye Yuan obviously would not tell her that his success rate of refining pills was a hundred percent. It was just that out of fear that it would be overly shocking, that he only took out nine medicinal pills!


    In truth, Ye Yuan was in seclusion for five days and refined a total of 18 Tier 7 medicinal pills. They were all peak Tier 7 medicinal pills.


    And what he took out was just half of what he refined.


    "The other medicinal pills, you just purchase them according to the price of 50 points will do. As for this Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill, I think a price of 150 points isn''t considered expensive, right?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Si Yin nodded her head mechanically. Suddenly recalling something, she asked, "These �� These medicinal pills were all refined by you?"


    "You just have to care about getting them. As for whether or not it''s refined by me, what does it matter?" Ye Yuan said.


    Si Yin''s question for very amateurish. A seller bringing medicinal pills, as for where it originated from, one logically should not ask too much.


    But Si Yin was too shocked right now. Furthermore, these medicinal pills were clearly refined and formed using those spirit medicines that Ye Yuan bought.


    Then �� just how high was Ye Yuan''s alchemy level?


    "Ah! Sir, Si Yin didn''t mean that. Please don''t be mistaken. It''s just �� It''s just that Si Yin was too surprised! This is a Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill! Even an Alchemy Emperor might not be able to refine it if he takes action. Sir only bought two portions of materials and actually refined one! This is simply too phenomenal!"


    Si Yin''s emotions had no idea how it should be described. This kind of freak was simply not able to find an adjective to describe!


    Except, the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill that Ye Yuan refined was not one, but two!


    The Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill was one of the hardest Tier 7 medicinal pills to refine. After consuming, it could permanently increase the martial artist''s cultivation speed by several times. It had the same profundities of achieving the same results with different means with the ''Bing'' character Ye Yuan cultivated.


    The valuable aspect of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill lied in that it was not only effective to Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, but it was also similarly effective on initial-stage Phaseless Realm martial artists.


    It was just that its effect on Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists was the greatest, so that was why it was classified as a Tier 7 medicinal pill.


    In reality, forget about Alchemy Saints, even Alchemy Venerables had very few people able to refine successfully too.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan stated a price of 150 points.

 884 Invitation Coming from the Third Level

    "It was just luck! This Ye normally don''t have such a high success rate when refining pills. These few days of seclusion, no idea why either, my moral character suddenly erupted, so I refined nine medicinal pills. Even the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill that I''m normally unable to refine actually succeeded too," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    But Si Yin was speechless when she heard it.


    Refining pills this sort of thing could rely on moral characterfor visiting.


    Just briefly skimming over it, Ye Yuan was greatly shocked.


    Only then did he know that turns out the Slaughter Concept could actually still be used like this! No wonder Si Yin said that this martial technique could rival the strength of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Looks like what she said was not false.


    If this first move was mastered, it was absolutely not beneath the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s seventh layer martial technique.


    Ye Yuan was currently savoring the lingering appeal of the Slaughter Sword Art''s first level and was incomparably shocked in his heart. But he did not notice that the astonishment in Si Yin''s eyes was even greater than his.


    Ye Yuan was not the first person to acquire this martial technique. But when the others sunk their divine sense inside the spirit halo jade, they all became unbelievably savage very quickly. There were even some people who got controlled by the killing intent within and attacked Si Yin violently.


    Of course, the final outcome definitely would not be good.


    However, Ye Yuan just became absent-minded briefly, then it was controlled by him.


    "This Ye Yuan, his mind is unshakable! His heart realm cultivation has reached Heart Like Monolith Realm at least! I really don''t know how on earth he cultivates at such a young age!"


    Inside this Asura Arena, Si Yin had seen before God knows how many geniuses. But not one could give her such a great shock like Ye Yuan.


    Presently, Ye Yuan already withdrew out of the spirit halo jade and gave praise repeatedly, "Not bad! Pretty good!"


    Si Yin put away her thoughts and said with a smile, "Does Sir feel that you got more than your money''s worth now?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! Buying this martial technique for 500 points, this Ye profited at other people''s expense instead."


    This level of martial techniques were all priceless treasures and completely had no way of measuring using essence crystals. Although 500 points was an astronomical figure, learning a martial technique like this, it was indeed above its money''s worth.


    Obtaining such a cultivation method, Ye Yuan could not quite contain his excitement anymore either, planning on going back to enter a retreat and cultivate this cultivation method.


    But he had yet to leave when his path was blocked by someone.


    The arrival was very polite. Clasping his hands at Ye Yuan, he asked, "May I ask if you''re Lord Ye Yuan?"


    "Exactly so. What guidance do you have?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The person said, "This one is Sun Qi, the number one battle general under the third level''s Lord Demon King. Lord Demon King heard that Lord Ye Yuan is an outstanding young talent and wants to get acquainted with you, and specially order this lowly one to come here and invite milord up to the third level to have a chat."


    There were quite a few people in the outer-pavilion. Seeing Sun Qi, all of them were taken aback.


    "It''s actually Lord Sun Qi! I heard that he''s the number one battle general under the Demon King; an expert ranked 58th on the Earth Carnage Proclamation! He''s actually so courteous to Ye Yuan!"


    "Looks like Ye Yuan really made a name for himself. He hasn''t entered the third level yet, and he won Lord Demon King''s recognition, sending Lord Sun Qi personally here to invite. Truly remarkable!"


    For a moment, there were many discussions inside the Asura Shop.If it''s a joke/wordplay, I don''t understand it either.

 885 True Strength

    Inviting Ye Yuan to join the team, this was nothing rare.


    With Ye Yuan''s performance in the second level, he was bound to be regarded highly by those heavyweights after going to the third level.


    What made people surprised was Sun Qi''s attitude.


    Who was Sun Qi?


    A powerhouse ranked 58 on the Earth Carnage Proclamation. His strength was way stronger compared to Leng Qing.


    An important person like this was actually so respectful towards Ye Yuan!


    Even if he was sent here under the Demon King''s orders, it should not be this kind of attitude.


    When did this Asura Arena become so civil and polite?


    "Who''s the Demon King? I don''t know, and I''m not interested in knowing as well! I still have to go back to enter seclusion and cultivate. Don''t come and bother me!" Ye Yuan said with a look of impatience.


    He was currently in high spirits and wanted to cultivate the Slaughter Sword Art. But another whatever Demon King jumped out again. It would be weird if he could be happy.


    But these words were totally not the case when it fell into other people''s ears!


    Who was the Demon King? One of the third level''s kings! A powerful existence ranked in the top five! Ye Yuan actually dared to speak impertinently!


    If these words were to be brought back by Sun Qi, wouldn''t Lord Demon King blow his top?


    The reason why the Demon King was called the Demon King was that he killed people without batting an eye! Regardless of who they were, as long as they provoked him, he obliterated without exception!


    Maybe the Demon King was not the strongest one in the third level, but he was absolutely the most savage and cruel one in the third level!


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan walked off without any care, and he did not even give Sun Qi a glance either.


    Sun Qi''s face turned dark. What kind of person was Sun Qi? Coming to invite a second level''s brat, this guy actually still did not give face.


    But upon thinking of Lord Demon King''s instructions, Sun Qi forcefully pressed down the discontentment in his heart, caught up with Ye Yuan, and said, "Since Lord Ye Yuan has already obtained the qualifications to advance to the third level, isn''t going up to the third level to cultivate the same as well? Lord Demon King has already prepared a third level''s top-tier cultivation chamber for you and can provide for milord''s cultivation."


    Regarding Sun Qi''s attitude, Ye Yuan was a little surprised too. He initially thought that Sun Qi would explode. Did not expect that this guy would actually be so good-tempered?


    Ever since arriving at the Chaotic Devil Sea, Ye Yuan still very rarely saw such a good-tempered person.


    But a top-tier cultivation chamber made Ye Yuan slightly moved.


    One had to know that this top-tier cultivation chamber, one slaughter point could only use for three days. If not to assault bottlenecks, ordinary people would not rent it.


    Ye Yuan paused for a bit and said, "Alright then, looking on account of the top-tier cultivation chamber, I''ll take a trip with you! I still have some matters to take care of at the second level. You go to the third level and wait for me."


    Actually, there wasn''t much stuff to take care of either. Ye Yuan was just going back to say goodbye to Tan Si.


    These few days, Tan Si was still considered attentive and satisfactory. Ye Yuan naturally would not be miserly towards him either. He gave him some medicinal pills and instructed him to cultivate well.


    Right now, the second level all knew that Tan Si was his follower. There naturally would not be anyone without eyes that would be making things too difficult for him.


    Tan Si still had a lot of potential. During this period, his improvement was apparent as well. Advancing to the third level in the future was also not impossible.


    After settling Tan Si''s affairs, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level.


    ...


    Sun Qi brought Ye Yuan to an empty hall, saying to go report his arrival, and then disappeared.


    In the entire hall, Ye Yuan was left all alone by himself.


    Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his outstanding skills and did not mind either. He sat down calmly and drank tea.


    Even after drinking the entire pot of tea, there was still no one who came to say hello. Inside the hall, it was still and quiet, with only Ye Yuan''s continuously tea-drinking slight sounds.


    A cold atmosphere gradually loomed. This matter seemed like a trap, no matter how one looked at it.


    "Make your move. Holding it in for so long, aren''t you tired?" Ye Yuan gently put down the teapot and said coolly.


    As if responding to Ye Yuan''s words, a dark shadow suddenly dashed out. A palm with an irresistible force rumbled over towards Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    The chair Ye Yuan was sitting on and the table were directly smashed into dust.


    "Strength is decent! But since your esteemed self invited me here, could it be that you don''t dare to reveal your true appearance to people?" Ye Yuan already composed himself and did not have the slightest awareness of falling into a trap.


    This person in front of him was dressed in black robes. He was even wearing a black fanged-mask on his face, looking very ferocious.


    The masked man did not speak. Raising his hand, it was another palm!


    Ye Yuan''s punch rumbled out, directly annihilating the masked man''s palm force.


    "Mighty Heaven God Annihilating Palm!"


    The masked man''s low voice transmitted over. A horrifying palm force assaulted towards Ye Yuan.


    Violent killing intent filled the entire hall. This palm was clearly unleashed with the Slaughter Supreme True Intent.


    In terms of the Slaughter Supreme True Intent''s level, it was evidently above Leng Qing''s!


    Ye Yuan reckoned that even if this masked man''s Slaughter Concept did not reach seven stars, it was not far away either.


    Although soul generals were divided into nine stars, these stars would be harder and harder to condense towards the back.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Six stars to seven stars, there was a major threshold too. A martial artist had to fight goodness knows how many matches before they could amass enough Slaughter Concept.


    This masked man in front of him should be that so-called Demon King.


    Facing such a palm, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless either. He immediately revolved the Void Dragon Shadow Punch to the limits!


    Boom!


    Two attacks with tremendous power collided together. A massive energy wave directly ravaged the hall. The roof immediately crumbled down.


    The entire hall instantly turned into a wasteland.


    But right at this time, the skies suddenly dimmed. The skies studded with stars.


    A terrifying energy undulation instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan did not reveal a solemn expression but smiled instead.


    He finally knew who this Demon King was!


    "I didn''t expect that you, this fellow, actually ran to the Chaotic Devil Sea! But your improvement really makes me feel astonished! Since you want to test my limits, I''ll let you witness my true strength!"


    The smile on Ye Yuan''s face gradually faded away. The Starmoon Sword quietly landed in his hand.


    Ye Yuan slightly raised the Starmoon Sword, then just casually slashed in the air. A massive rift was actually slashed out in the sky!


    After that, those motes of stars were completely annihilated under this slash!


    This powerful Lumen Star Brilliance move was broken by Ye Yuan with a wave of his hand.


    "Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword �� Will Soaring to the Skies!" Ye Yuan lightly spat out these few words.


    Behind that black mask, those pupils constricted, clearly shocked by the scene before his eyes.


    Only when the skies recovered its clearness did the masked man come back to his senses from the midst of shock. He heaved a long sigh and said, "I thought that I was already powerful enough. Didn''t think that the gap with you became bigger and bigger!"


    The masked man slowly removed the fanged-mask, revealing a delicate and good-looking face. Who could it be but Nalan Chu?


    Back then, Nalan Chu left the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, saying he wanted to go out and train. But Ye Yuan never expected that he actually ran to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land and even entered inside the Asura Arena.


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, Nalan Chu was a free and unconventional modest gentleman. But this Demon King before his eyes subverted Ye Yuan''s understanding of him.


    It seemed like during this period, his transformation was really not small.

 886 12 Exalts

    Looking at this debris all over the floor, Sun Qi could not help opening his mouth wide.


    He originally thought that Lord Demon King calling Ye Yuan over was just because he admired Ye Yuan and wished to take him under his wing.


    He did not expect that this Ye Yuan''s strength was actually this powerful!


    Lord Demon King was actually defeated at Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Nalan Chu''s title of Demon King did not appear out of thin air but was fought out match by match.


    To be able to slaughter into the third level''s top five, it could be seen how powerful Lord Demon King''s strength was.


    But such a Lord Demon King actually still lost to Ye Yuan!


    Just what background did this Third Level Heaven Enlightenment brat have?


    "Compared to before, you''re indeed much more powerful! It was absolutely impossible for the past you to force me to use Will Soaring to the Skies!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Will Soaring to the Skies! A fine Will Soaring to the Skies! Your sword intent is indeed already riding above the ninth layer of heaven! A sword like this is simply as the saying if gods block, kill gods, if Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!" Nalan Chu said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Nalan Chu had a deep understanding of Ye Yuan''s prowess after exchanging blows with Ye Yuan.


    The last time, Ye Yuan using his most powerful Rending the Sky already shocked him.


    Training and tempering these few years in the Asura Arena, Nalan Chu had always chased after Ye Yuan as his goal. His improvement was tremendous.


    At one point, Nalan Chu also felt that he was already very close to Ye Yuan. But upon seeing today, Ye Yuan''s strength was still far above his!


    This stance, Will Soaring to the Skies, truly rode above the ninth layer of heaven. He could not think of any strategies to resolve it at all.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Wait until the day my sword intent reaches major accomplishment, maybe it can really kill gods if gods block, kill Buddha if Buddha blocks. But right now, it''s still somewhat lacking."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Nalan Chu also smiled and said, "That''s just a matter of time. Alright, this place isn''t a place to talk. Sun Qi, we''ll go to your residence."


    Sun Qi bowed and said, "Yes, Your Excellency!"


    When Ye Yuan walked past him once again, the feeling in Sun Qi''s heart was completely different.


    This young man''s strength was too terrifying!


    Only after having some small talk with Nalan Chu did Ye Yuan know that Nalan Chu''s these two years of training and tempering was also rather not easy.


    Nalan Chu had a warm-hearted and compassionate personality too. En route his training and tempering, he encountered an unjust matter.


    A Rank Seven Holy Land''s junior disciple was in the process of violating a woman. Nalan Chu killed that person in his rage, then incurred endless pursuit. Along the way, he was forced into hopeless situations several times and narrowly lost his life, but he still pulled through in the end.


    Rank Seven Holy Lands were not what the Crimson Afterglow, that sort of Rank Nine Holy Lands, could afford to provoke. Nalan Chu did not dare to expose his identity. Being forced against his will, Nalan Chu fled to the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    As luck would have it, he obtained an Absolute Kill Token. Hence, he entered the Asura Arena.


    Nalan Chu did not think that after he experienced life and death several times, his entire person underwent a complete transformation, integrating into the fighting ways of the Asura Arena very quickly.


    In this place, he advanced with leaps and bounds. Not only he almost became a seven-star soul general already, but his Light Supreme True Intent also broke through to the third-stage!


    "On that day, I heard that the second level had an upstart who is called Ye Yuan too. Moreover, his strength was overwhelming in the second level. I thought about whether or not there was such a coincidental thing. Later, I obtained the recording of you and Leng Qing fighting, before discovering that it''s actually really you!"


    Running into an old friend in a foreign land, Nalan Chu was clearly very excited too.


    These two years plus time, regardless of whether was it strength or temperament, Nalan Chu underwent a tremendous change.


    Demon King this title was not given randomly. This was simply unimaginable for the former Nalan Chu.


    Ye Yuan also talked about the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s recent developments with Nalan Chu. Nalan Chu sighed endlessly when he heard it too.


    But he was also very happy when he was informed that Tu You broke through and that the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land was promoted to a Rank Eight Holy Land.


    "Ye Yuan, since you''ve already advanced to the third level, isn''t it time to choose a camp?" after the small talk, Nalan Chu said.


    "Choose a camp?" Ye Yuan had a perplexed look.


    Nalan Chu nodded his head and explained, "This Asura Arena is actually controlled by the 12 Great Exalts. Martial artists from the first level to the sixth level, regardless of whether Heaven Enlightenment Realm or Phaseless Realm, they actually all belonged to one of the 12 Great Exalts."


    Hearing Nalan Chu say so, Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization: "No wonder Leng Qing really got his wish when he wanted to fight with me!"


    "Above Leng Qing is Exalt Heavenly Hedonist of the 12 Great Exalts. The exalt I belong to is Exalt Zhuo Yan. If my conjectures are right, Exalt Si Yin has probably got an eye on you already. Seems like she wants to pull you under her command," Nalan Chu said.


    Ye Yuan was stunned. Si Yin''s face emerged before his eyes.


    "You''re saying that female attendant in the Asura Shop is one of the 12 Exalts?"


    Ye Yuan had a blank look. Hearing Exalt Si Yin this name, he finally came back to his senses.


    Si Yin calculated a myriad of things, but she did not calculate that Ye Yuan actually had a personal friendship with this Lord Demon King.


    Nalan Chu smiled and said, "The 12 Exalts'' statuses in the Asura Arena are all different. The area Exalt Si Yin is in charged of is precisely the Asura Shop!"


    Ye Yuan had a speechless look. That young lady was also a bit too capable at acting, right? Although Ye Yuan had suspicions long ago, he also did not think that this young lady was actually one of the 12 Exalts.


    "Like this huh? What if I don''t join their camps?" Ye Yuan pondered about it and said.


    "Not joining their camps, unless you have heaven-defying strength, otherwise, you can only be erased by them! Of course, they can''t violate the Asura Arena''s rules either. But they can utterly wipe you out within the permitted boundaries of the rules!" Nalan Chu said.


    Regarding the rules, Nalan Chu said, Ye Yuan understood it. No matter which level Ye Yuan was at, they could arrange stronger opponents to deal with him, it was roughly like this.


    "Heh heh, want to wipe me out, huh? Let them go ahead! Just hope that they don''t break off their front tooth!"


    Ye Yuan did not wish to be anyone''s underling. He was him, a former peak Alchemy Emperor, a present genius youth!


    Trifling 12 Exalts, what right to come and control him, Ye Yuan?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s attitude, Nalan Chu could not help saying with a bitter smile, "I knew it! No matter what, we jointly came out of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. Furthermore, you''re the right and proper young lord! Whether professionally or privately, even if I die, I have to ensure your safety too!"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised when he heard that, but said with a smile, "You can''t even beat me, what do you have to protect my safety? Forget it, these things don''t need you to come and worry. At least at this third level, there isn''t anyone capable of harming me yet!"


    Nalan Chu shook his head but did not know what he should say.


    Actually, before finding Ye Yuan, he already mentally prepared himself. Other people, he dare not say, but Ye Yuan, he knew a little.


    Want to make Ye Yuan bow and scrape as someone''s lackey, that was absolutely impossible.


    "Huhu, Brother Ye, don''t talk about other things first. The 18 days top-tier cultivation chamber I promised you is already prepared. I know that Brother Ye should have just chosen a Slaughter Concept''s relevant martial technique. What you need most at this time should be closed-seclusion," Nalan Chu said.

 887 Name Lis

    "Killing Song of the Sword!"


    Inside the cultivation chamber, killing qi overflowed.


    A mass of black-colored sword qi was roaming around inside the cultivation chamber. The space of the places it passed by would have minute undulation appear, making the surrounding walls have intense undulation sounds appear.


    "This Slaughter Sword Art is indeed well-deserving of its fame, to actually be able to unleash killing intent through such a method! One month passed and I actually only comprehended a smattering of the first level!"


    Just 18 days were too short. After time was up, Ye Yuan extended another 12 day''s time. Only then did he barely managed to comprehend a modicum of the Killing Song of the Sword.


    To Ye Yuan, using a month''s time to go cultivate a martial technique under the prerequisite of possessing the Slaughter Supreme True Intent and actually just comprehend a trace of the rudiments, this was a very seldom-seen matter.


    This Slaughter Sword Art was very profound. The difficulty of comprehending was absolutely not beneath the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s auxiliary martial techniques.


    It appeared that what Si Yin said was not false.


    If this martial technique was cultivated to the limits, one might really possess strength comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    It was just that if Si Yin found out about Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed, she would definitely be immensely shocked.


    This martial technique, other people all cultivated with 10 years as units. Ye Yuan actually only used a month''s time to comprehend the preliminary rudiments. This comprehension ability was too terrifying.


    The Ten Great Divine Kings were all staggering geniuses. But for them to reach this level, it requires over 500 years of time at the fastest too.


    How could wanting to reach this sort of boundary be something overnight?


    But Ye Yuan was still very unsatisfied with his cultivation speed.


    "Time is pressing! This kind of cultivation speed is truly a little too slow. Looks like I got to think of ways to get some chaos gems." Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and walked out of the cultivation chamber.


    Exiting the cultivation chamber, Ye Yuan discovered that Sun Qi was actually waiting outside already. It was just that his gaze was somewhat evasive. Clearly, he had something he found difficult to express.


    What kind of visual prowess did Ye Yuan have? He saw through that Sun Qi suffered considerable internal injuries at a single glance.


    "What happened? You got injured during a fight? Where''s Demon King?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Nalan Chu did not use his original name here. Ye Yuan naturally would not reveal his unsavory background. It was just that Ye Yuan was quite surprised. If he had something to find him, there was no need to send an injured Sun Qi over, right?


    "Lord Demon King he �� he ��"


    Sun Qi words were vague, making Ye Yuan give rise to a hint of a foreboding premonition.


    "Speak!"


    Sun Qi suddenly said with a look of righteous indignation, "Lord Demon King he �� he was beaten to severe injuries by someone and is in danger of losing his life at any time!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he snapped, "When did it happen? Why did you come and inform me earlier?"


    "I �� I wanted to come and inform Lord Ye Yuan previously as well, but Lord Demon King he did not allow! He said that Lord Ye Yuan''s matters are greater than the heavens. Unless it was absolutely necessary, we''re not to disturb your closed-seclusion!" Sun Qi said with a bitter look.


    "Bullsh*t! His little life is almost gone, what matter is even bigger than this?" Hearing this news, Ye Yuan could not help being somewhat moved in his heart, becoming abnormally irritated.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Nalan Chu''s thoughts. It was just that he did not expect that Nalan Chu was actually so foolishly loyal. He was going to be beaten to death in no time, and he actually did not allow his subordinates to come and inform him to exit seclusion in advance.


    In Nalan Chu''s heart, Ye Yuan was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s Holy Lord. He was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land''s future.


    Concerning martial artists cultivating, one of the greatest taboos was having a closed-door seclusion interrupted. Closed-seclusion suddenly being interrupted, if it was minor, it would make the things they comprehended be irrevocably lost. If severe, one would run amok, burying hidden dangers for breakthroughs in the future.


    Nalan Chu did not wish to affect Ye Yuan became of him, that was why he did not let Sun Qi come and disturb Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan fly off the handle, Sun Qi mumbled yes repeatedly by the side, and he did not dare to say anything.


    Ye Yuan casually threw Sun Qi a medicinal pill and said, "Consume it. Take me to find Demon King!"


    Sun Qi''s expression involuntarily changed when he got the medicinal pill.


    Transcendent-grade Ling Hua Jade Dew Pill!


    This was an extremely hard to come by Tier 7 healing medicinal pill; something that could not be bought on the market at all. Ye Yuan''s casual opening move was simply extravagant to the extreme.


    Sun Qi consumed the medicinal pill and did not have time to refine the medicinal strength either, before bringing Ye Yuan to go find Nalan Chu.


    Seeing lying on the bed was the unconscious Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan''s fury leaped up.


    Nalan Chu''s heart meridians were virtually shattered; already at his last gasp, possible to die at any time. Ye Yuan even detected that within Nalan Chu''s body had a peculiar force that would cause immense damage to Nalan Chu''s internal organs.


    Very clearly, the other party deliberately held back a trick or two just to torture Nalan Chu.


    Competing in martial arts showdowns, death was a common occurrence. It was just that this kind of method was truly a bit too vicious.


    The fury in Ye Yuan''s heart slowly rose!


    But this kind of injury naturally could not stump the Alchemy Emperor Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan forced that power out of Nalan Chu''s body, then restored the wounds of Nalan Chu''s internal organs with essence energy. Finally, he let him consume a medicinal pill and helped him to refine the medicinal strength.


    After a series of actions, Nalan Chu''s complexion gradually became rosy. His breathing became regular too.


    Ye Yuan got up and made a hand gesture at Sun Qi, hinting for him to go out and talk.


    Sun Qi was incomparably shocked looking at Ye Yuan''s actions by the side.


    These few days, he had pulled who knows how many connections to invite God knows how many alchemists over. But they were all helpless on what to do regarding the Demon King''s injuries.


    But the moment Ye Yuan came, he only used a short two hour''s time to drag Lord Demon King back from King Yama''s hall.


    This level of means was simply a marvelous work of art!


    "Speak, what on earth happened?"


    Ye Yuan''s query was very calm. But beneath his calmness hid a monstrous fury.


    Sun Qi calmed his emotions a little and explained the events that happened the other day.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Turned out, it had always been relatively balanced between the third level''s various major forces.


    But not long after Ye Yuan went into seclusion, no idea for what reason, the two forces under Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and Exalt Blazing Fire actually teamed up to deal with Nalan Chu''s line.


    The other party overwhelmed with superior numbers and challenged Nalan Chu''s side''s forces continuously.


    With two major forces uniting together, their strength was simply not what Nalan Chu was able to withstand. In ten days, Nalan Chu suffered heavy casualties under his command. Even the Sun Qi with formidable strength was also beaten to heavy injuries.


    It was naturally not possible for Nalan Chu to watch his own subordinates take a beating blindly. Hence, he came forward to challenge Exalt Blazing Fire''s subordinate, Yan Shan.


    This Yan Shan''s ranking on the Earth Carnage Proclamation fell short of Nalan Chu''s. Originally, it should have been an almost guaranteed fight. In the end, an accident actually occurred!


    The fight this time, Yan Shan''s strength unexpectedly advanced greatly. Furthermore, he even cultivated a strange power. Nalan Chu was affected by this force and was beaten to serious injuries in the end.


    Ye Yuan was silent for a long time after hearing before saying to Sun Qi, "Take these two factions'' top 10, a total of 20 people, make a list and give it to me!"


    Sun Qi''s expression changed and guessed what Ye Yuan wanted to do very quickly. He hurriedly said, "Lord Ye Yuan, a pair of fists are no match for four hands! I know that milord''s strength is powerful, it''s fine if it''s other people, but that Yan Shan and the Bai Meng under Exalt Heavenly Hedonist''s command, their strength is unfathomable! Especially Bai Meng, he''s even the third level''s number one powerhouse! How great his strength is, nobody knows at all."

 888 Asura Mode, Activate!

    "Give the list to me!" Ye Yuan did not explain anything and just said calmly.


    Sun Qi''s heart turned cold and knew that Ye Yuan already made up his mind. No matter how he urged, it was also useless already.


    Sun Qi did not dare to dawdle and could only give this name list of 20 people to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan took the name list and came straight to the fight arena.


    "I want to activate the Asura Mode. This is the name list I want to challenge."


    Ye Yuan found the fighting arena''s in-charge, a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe. Ye Yuan handed the name list to him.


    The gray-robed middle-aged man was in charge of the third level''s fighting arena''s matters and naturally knew who Ye Yuan was. But when he heard that Ye Yuan wanted to activate Asura Mode, he was still taken aback from fright.


    "Do you know the consequences of activating Asura Mode?" the middle-aged man asked solemnly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, "I naturally know. I haven''t fought a single match in the third level yet, so my ranking should be very far back. On the name list are all top 100 martial artists. I should have the qualifications to challenge."


    Asura Mode was known as Suicide Mode in the Asura Arena!


    Martial artists who proposed activating the Asura Mode could only challenge people ranked higher than them. The number of people challenged had to be no less than 20. One must kill all of these 20 people in 24 hours, which was also within a day, before considering challenging Asura Mode to be successful and directly obtain the qualifications to advance to the next level.


    If one did not complete the task within the designated time, they would be directly blotted out by the Asura Arena!


    This was a rule compelling slaughter within the Asura Arena. The ones being challenged had to accept the challenge straight away and were not to decline for any reason.


    Normally, if there wasn''t deep-seated hatred, nobody would propose activating Asura Mode at all.


    Of course, some bloodthirsty people with formidable strength who wanted to advance to the next level as soon as possible, as well as to collect sufficient Slaughter Concept, would also activate this mode.


    However, those able to complete this mission in the Asura Arena were extremely, extremely few!


    In these 30 thousand years, only a mere two people completed the Asura Mode.


    And the martial artists that these two people challenged, without exception, were only martial artists 20 places higher than them.


    Those who survived in the Asura Arena were all not simple people. Wanting to battle across 20 ranks was a very challenging matter.


    Even if one really had that strength, wanting to kill 20 opponents within a day, one''s essence energy was simply insufficient to support it.


    Generally, those who activate Asura Mode all had deep-seated hatred and were hell-bent on dooming the other party to death. Furthermore, it was under the circumstances where the other party did not accept the challenge.


    Because under the situation where the difference in strength was not big, wanting to kill the opponent on the fighting arena was very difficult. As long as the other party admitted defeat, it could not continue anymore.


    Want to kill the enemy, there was only using this sort of deathmatch! Points gamble fight required the other party to accept the challenge before it could be carried out. Therefore, this Asura Mode was the only avenue for those who had formed an irreconcilable grudge.


    Of course, one generally paid the price with their own deaths, even if you killed the opponent.


    The gray-robed middle-aged man took a look at the name list, his expression could not help changing, as he said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I know that your strength is decent, but are you sure that you want to challenge Yan Shan and Bai Meng? The two of them, their strengths are probably not beneath yours! If you''re unable to kill them within 24 hours, you''ll be directly obliterated by the Asura Arena!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Do I look like I''m joking? Get started!"


    The gray-robed middle-aged man''s expression changed several times, but he finally heaved a long sigh, turned around, and left.


    "Ye Yuan activated Asura Mode. Hua Jun, Wan Ziheng �� Yan Shan, Bai Meng!"


    Up in the third level''s sky, a melodious female voice sounded out, immediately stirring up a commotion.


    "Somebody activated Asura Mode! Someone activated Asura Mode! Ye Yuan? Who is Ye Yuan?"


    "Your news is also too out of touch! Ye Yuan is the man of the hour in the first level and the second level these days. He''s a formidable person who directly got a wipeout in the first level and brutally pummeled Leng Qing in the second level!"


    "Being extraordinary at the first and second level, can he also be extraordinary when he reached the third level too? Leng Qing can''t even rank into the top hundred when placed in the third level, this boy has lost his mind, right?"


    "En? You listen �� He wants to c-challenge Yan Shan! B-Bai Meng! Crazy! This guy is utterly insane!"


    Someone activating Asura Mode was a piece of big news to begin with, but this person actually directly challenged the third level''s number one person! This was an even more explosive major news!


    All at once, the entire third level burst into an uproar!


    Those martial artists all put down the matters in their hands, and all sprinted to the fighting arena one by one.


    This kind of great battle was not a common occurrence.


    ...


    Inside a restaurant in the third level, several people were currently drinking large bowls of wine and eating meat in large mouthfuls.


    The voice sounding out, one person said, "Hua Jun, somebody wants to challenge you! Asura Mode! Tsk tsk, you got to be careful!"


    Hua Jun''s expression changed, and he immediately burst into laughter and said, "Where did this fool come from, becoming tired of living at this time! Boss, save this table of alcohol for this Lord. Wait until I kill that blind punk, I''ll come back and carry on drinking!"


    ...


    Inside a top-tier cultivation chamber, Wan Ziheng slowly opened his eyes when he heard this pleasant-sounding voice, and slowly walked out of the cultivation chamber.


    ...Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Inside a room, a man and a woman were currently having a ''flesh-to-flesh great battle'' when a pleasant-sounding voice echoed.


    "Goddammit! What a bummer! Go, go to the side, wait until this Lord kills that blind punk! I''ll come back and continue!"


    The man kicked the woman to the corner with one foot and swiftly wore his clothes and sped out of the door.


    ...


    The same thing happened in every corner of the third level.


    When these people heard the summons, they all did not dare to disregard it, hurrying to the fighting arena one by one.


    A short one hour''s time and the third level''s fighting arena was packed full with people.


    In the center of the fighting arena, a youth stood with his hands behind his back. He was currently resting with his eyes shut, quietly waiting for his opponents'' arrival.


    "Hey, did you all discover or not? The opponents that this Ye Yuan is challenging are all in Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and Exalt Blazing Fire, these two people''s camps."


    "Like that needed you to say it? But this boy''s head definitely has a problem. Even if challenging these two mighty exalts'' camps, he should also pick the soft persimmons to squeeze! You look at the people he''s challenging; all powerhouses ranked in the top hundred of the Earth Carnage Proclamation!"


    "This boy still has some ability. He allegedly beat Leng Qing until he could not raise his head in the second level."


    "So what? Leng Qing''s ranking is merely around 150th place. The Earth Carnage Proclamation''s top hundred martial artists are much stronger than the 150th place! Even if this boy has Earth Carnage Proclamation top hundred strength as well, can he kill these 20 people within a day''s time? In my opinion, this boy is tired of living, to actually activate Suicide Mode!"


    "What do you know? I heard that this brat has some friendly relation with Demon King. Don''t you know that the Demon King was beaten to an inch of his life several days ago by Yan Shan? This boy is definitely here to take revenge for Demon King!"


    The fighting had yet to begin, but inside the fighting arena was already clamoring with discussions.


    Regardless of what reason Ye Yuan was doing it for, activating Asura Mode was no different from committing suicide too.


    Yan Shan already arrived. He looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of a cold sneer hung at the corners of his mouth.


    Right at this time, a disturbance stirred in the fighting arena. A young man dressed in white slowly stepped into the fighting arena.

 889 Kill Until Blood Runs Cold

    "It''s Bai Meng! He entered closed-seclusion for quite a few months this time. Right now, his strength is probably even more unfathomable, right?"


    "They are all discussing that the next time the Earth Carnage Proclamation comes out, Bai Meng will probably be reaching the summit!"


    "No idea where Ye Yuan''s courage came from, to actually dare challenge Bai Meng. This kind of suicide style is seriously too heroic."


    Bei Meng''s appearance caused a considerable sensation.


    He ranked third on the Earth Carnage Proclamation and first place on the Asura Arena''s third level. His strength was incomparably formidable.


    Even if one activated Asura Mode, no one would be foolish enough to go and challenge him. Yet, Ye Yuan did that.


    In the eyes of everyone, he was naturally a fool.


    Bai Meng''s might was deeply-rooted in people''s hearts. Even if Ye Yuan''s battle results were glorious, it was also not possible to take his place.


    Moreover, under the Asura Mode, whether Ye Yuan could live to see Bai Meng or not was a matter worth discussing.


    Yan Shan glanced at Bai Meng, his eyes showing some dread as well. Clearly, he was incredibly wary of Bei Meng.


    Ye Yuan challenging Yan Shan in order to take revenge on Demon King''s behalf, this was justifiable. But challenging Bai Meng, that was purely seeking death.


    The people being challenged all turned up. The gray-robed middle-aged man came to the center of the fighting arena and opened his mouth to say, "Ye Yuan is challenging the Asura Mode. It officially starts now! The first battle, Hua Jun!"


    Hua Jun came in front of Ye Yuan with an amused look and said with a cold smile, "Boy, you really don''t know how high the heaven is, and how thick the earth is. Today, let your Grandpa Hua come and teach you ��"


    Hua Jun was talking halfway when a stream of light in Ye Yuan''s hand flashed and disappeared. Hua Jun''s voice cut off abruptly.


    "Next!"


    Ye Yuan''s nonchalant voice sounded out, like the curse of a death god, making the fully occupied field of martial artists feel a chill run down their backs.


    "Spout ��"


    Fresh blood gushed out like a fountain. Hua Jun had yet to figure out what was going on and already went to meet King Yama.


    Adding it all up, it was less than a second.


    This sword was swift like lighting. Everyone did not react to it. They also completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not even say hello and directly drew his sword to kill people!


    Too unreasonable! Too arrogant!


    With a thud, Hua Jun collapsed onto the ground and breathed his last, leaving only behind fountain like blood still spraying wildly.


    "Dumb*ss! Once the Asura Mode starts, that''s a life and death match! He actually still had time to talk rubbish with that punk!" Yan Shan said with a solemn face.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s one-hit-certain-kill, Yan Shan did not mind. Killing someone at Hua Jun''s level, he could similarly do it.


    "Next one, Wan Ziheng!" The gray-robed middle-aged man''s voice sounded out once again, icy cold without the slightest emotion.


    But in the depths of his eyes, a hint of astonishment still flickered across.


    Other people could not see through, but he perceived it. This move of Ye Yuan''s earlier was not some brilliant martial technique, but the not-considered-profound divine soul mystic art, Sword Driving Technique!


    The Sword Driving Technique was not considered very brilliant for divine soul mystic arts. But Ye Yuan killed an Earth Carnage Proclamation''s top hundred expert skillfully without much effort. How powerful a foundation did this require?


    The way the gray-robed middle-aged man saw it, Ye Yuan chose the most effort-saving and effective way to kill off the opponent.


    This also indicated that Ye Yuan''s control of battles was precise to the extreme!


    Such an adversary was truly very frightening!


    The moment Wan Ziheng took the field, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, rumbling over towards him with a punch.


    Wan Ziheng''s expression changed. Without even thinking, it was a palm when he raised his hand.


    Boom!


    Wan Ziheng was smashed flying ruthlessly, slamming onto the grand array, and no longer breathed.


    "Next!" Ye Yuan''s voice was still ripple-less like an ancient well, not carrying the slightest hint of emotion.


    But regardless whether was it the surrounding martial artists, or the targets being challenged, they all could not smile.


    If let''s say there were still suspicions of a surprise attack for Hua Jun, then Wan Ziheng was a frontal-battle. Ye Yuan directly annihilated Wan Ziheng with absolute, tyrannical strength!


    They never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually fearsome to this sort of extent!


    "Next, Cao Chen!"


    "Next ��"


    The gray-robed middle-aged man announced name after name. These people''s strength were each stronger than the other. But under Ye Yuan''s hands, their best situation also did not pass three moves!


    "T-Too strong! How can this brat be so powerful?"


    "Those are all top experts on the Earth Carnage Proclamation! They actually can''t even survive three moves under Ye Yuan''s hands!"


    "Who freaking said that this brat was here to commit suicide? This guy is clearly a killing god himself!"


    The martial artists on the grandstand were all incomparably shocked. Looking at those legendary figures fall down one by one, their hearts twitched repeatedly, and actually somewhat could not breathe anymore.


    While those challenge targets not yet called, each and every one of their faces became incomparably ugly.


    To be able to reach their level, which one did not have a heart of stone? But seeing people whose strength were roughly around the same as theirs collapse one by one, that sort of impact was still too intense.


    They �� were afraid!


    Ye Yuan''s incomparably overbearing method of killing made each and every one of them feel terror!


    "Next, Guo Ziming!"


    Being called, Guo Ziming trembled without rhyme or reason, and actually kept on did not dare to step forward.


    "Next, Guo Ziming!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Guo Ziming''s Earth Carnage Proclamation ranking was 53rd place; around the same as Sun Qi. This was already considered a very impressive existence among Heaven Enlightenment Realms.


    But facing such a powerful Ye Yuan, he actually did not dare to take a step forward!


    Only to see him shudder all over, not daring to stride a foot out at all.


    "Next, Guo Ziming! Ten breaths of time, still not taking the stage, you''ll be blotted out!" The gray-robed middle-aged man''s voice sounded out a third time.


    Guo Ziming quivered and involuntarily took a step forward.


    It was just that after this one step, he still did not dare to go forward.


    Bang!


    After ten breaths, Guo Ziming''s entire person blew up. Very clearly, he was directly obliterated by the Asura Arena.


    Seeing this scene, people''s expressions became even uglier.


    Being killed was not scary. But this feeling of waiting to be killed was seriously too distressing.


    "Next, Qi Hao!" The gray-robed middle-aged man''s countenance did not change in the slightest and continued to call the next name.


    Qi Hao''s expression darkened. Seeing Guo Ziming''s wretched state, he did not dare to deliberately delay anymore, arriving in front of Ye Yuan with a leap.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of talking crap. It was the Sword Driving Technique the moment he made his move.


    Qi Hao''s strength was not what Hua Jun could compare to. His figure flashed, and he directly avoided this sword.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    After one attack, Qi Hao completely refused to come into contact with Ye Yuan. He intentionally pulled apart the distance from Ye Yuan in order to not give Ye Yuan any opportunity that could be taken advantage of.


    Very clearly, he wanted to use this sort of method to delay the time.


    "Humph! If I don''t fight you head-on, even if your strength is any greater, what can you do to me?" Qi Hao laughed coldly in his heart.


    But the next instant, his expression instantly froze on his face.


    Under Ye Yuan''s Origin Magnetic Field, his figure abruptly turned languish. After that, he was no longer alive.


    "Want to kill my, Ye Yuan''s, brother, you''ll have to be mentally prepared to get killed!" Ye Yuan''s words seethed with killing intent, making everyone shudder at it.

 890 True King Bloodline

    Fighting, not his match! Fleeing, nowhere to run!


    Apart from Bai Meng and Yan Shan, the gazes the rest of the people looked at Ye Yuan with were filled with despair.


    Besieging the Nalan Chu line, they all more or less took part in it. It was just that they never thought that the consequences would be so severe.


    They very much wanted to flee the fighting arena. But once Asura Mode activated, no means of escape would work.


    Either one killed their opponent or be killed by their opponent.


    The opponents after that, regardless of whether they broke down completely, or turned to desperate measures in distraught, they were all clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of Ye Yuan!


    Finally, 18 people were already killed. The next one was going to be Yan Shan.


    The people knew that the fighting had only just begun.


    Yan Shan slowly fell out of the ranks and said to Ye Yuan calmly, "Brat, I admit that you''re very capable. But there''s nothing worth showing off by finishing off those trash. In front of the Earth Carnage Proclamation''s top ten, everything is futile! Prepare for a reckoning!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him calmly and said, "Demon King was injured by you?"


    "Heh, that fool, living in his own fantasy world and still thought that I wasn''t his match. Now, he''s tormented by my Profound Dark Force until he''s almost dead, right? Brat, are you very furious? Do you want to kill me very much? Hahaha! Rest assured, I''ll make you die in agony like him!" Yan Shan became more pleased with himself as he talked, finally bursting into laughter.


    At this time, a voice came from the grandstand, "Sorry to disappoint you. I''m afraid that the one dying today is you!"


    Yan Shan''s expression changed as he searched for the owner of the voice in disbelief. Indeed, he saw Nalan Chu appear on the grandstand under Sun Qi''s support.


    "How is that possible? My Profound Dark Force is incomparably abstruse. How can �� How can you still stand up?


    Yan Shan was very confident in his Profound Dark Force. Once it entered the other party''s body, it would continuously wreck the other party''s internal organs, all the way until it utterly destroyed the other party''s bodily functions.


    Demon King had already gotten hit by it for several days. Logically speaking, he should be almost dead right now. How could he possibly appear here?


    Looking from far away, apart from some paleness on Demon King''s face, there did not seem to be any issue out of place.


    "Profound Dark Force? What is that? As long as he still has one breath left, saving him is nothing difficult for me," Ye Yuan said scornfully.


    Yan Shan''s expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Is that so? I want to see if you can bring a dead person back to life! Profound Dark Nether Dream Kill!"


    A palm smacked towards Ye Yuan, seemingly looking slow, but it was swift to the extreme in reality.


    Ye Yuan had purged the Profound Dark Force within Demon King''s body before and was naturally aware of the prowess of this palm art.


    Within this palm technique contained extremely powerful hidden force; it was incredibly hard to guard against. However, Ye Yuan had nothing to fear. His Void Dragon Shadow Punch was extreme indomitable yang. It was the jinx to this type of gentle yin palm force.


    If Yan Shan was Phaseless Realm, Ye Yuan would really have some dread. But he was only Heaven Enlightenment Realm. Ye Yuan had nothing to fear at all.


    Bang!


    The fist and palm clashed. Yan Shan was directly pushed back several dozen steps.


    His expression changed, and he said in terror, "Scorching Supreme True Intent! Your Scorching Supreme True Intent is only first-stage! How can it possibly be stronger than my Profound Dark Nether Dream Kill?"


    Ye Yuan fused together dragon wave and supreme true intent. It could be said as pioneering the start of a paradigm. Yan Shan not recognizing was also normal.


    This two things fusing together was not just as simple as one plus one equals two.


    "Very surprised? Since you can''t figure it out with one punch, then I''ll beat you until you understand!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. Origin Magnetic Field opened up fully. Dragon wave and Scorching Supreme True Intent also revolved to the limits.


    This time, he pulled out all the stops!


    With the pinning down of the Origin Magnetic Field, it was as if Yan Shan sunk into a bog. Even essence energy circulation was not that smooth anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s fist shadows landed like raindrops. Yan Shan had nowhere to run and could only meet the attacks passively.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    What Yan Shan''s palm force relied on was hidden force. It was not suited for this kind of frontal-clash in the first place and was beaten back under Ye Yuan''s fist shadows repeatedly.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Yan Shan''s strength was indeed incomparably formidable. Under Ye Yuan''s berserk attacks, he could actually still barely manage to hold on and not be defeated.


    If it were some other people, they would have long been pulverized into minced meat.


    "Truly didn''t expect that this brat''s strength was actually so formidable! Those fools in front actually didn''t even force out half of his strength! Looks like there''s no choice but to use that move! Although I''ll suffer a great loss of vitality after using it, it''s better than dying!" Yan Shan secretly pondered.


    Ye Yuan was currently bombarding savagely when all of a sudden, warning bells suddenly sounded. A feeling of immense danger surged in his heart.


    Rip ��


    A light flashed. A strip of clothing in front of Ye Yuan''s chest was shredded into ribbons. Ye Yuan relied on the recoil force and narrowly avoided this attack.


    "What happened? Why did Yan Shan''s aura suddenly change drastically, his strength increasing so much all of a sudden?"


    "You guys, look at his hand! It actually grew out sharp talons!"


    "My God, how did Yan Shan turn into a monster that is neither a person nor a ghost?"


    The Yan Shan currently, both eyes revealed a scarlet red color. A pair of tusks actually grew out of his mouth. His four limbs bulged up, his hands becoming claws.


    That appearance was just like a human-shaped leopard.


    Although he became like this, his entire person''s aura strengthened several times all at once, giving people a feeling of incredible danger.


    "Stinking brat, to actually force your Uncle Yan Shan to this extent! Savor it well, you damn punk!" Yan Said said savagely.


    Yan Shan''s figure swayed, his entire person vanishing from everyone''s line of sight. He was actually inconceivably swift.


    Bang!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan threw a punch out, slamming together with Yan Shan.


    But this time, it was Ye Yuan who was sent flying out far away by the tremendous recoil force. The Origin Magnetic Field was actually unable to restrain Yan Shan''s speed!


    After landing, Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and said coolly, "Turns out that its Old Freak Wei''s experimental subject. But looking at your appearance, his experiments seemed to have some breakthrough!"


    Yan Shan was currently pleased with himself. When he heard that, his expression could not help changing drastically once again: "You �� How did you know?!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Yan Shan pitifully and said, "What I know is way more than you imagine. Looking at your appearance, you should have been implanted with the Thousand Mile Cloud Chasing Leopard bloodline. It''s just that looking from the bloodline''s strength, you''re still far too lacking! Makes sense, a trash like you, fusing with a first-rate bloodline is a waste too."


    Ye Yuan spoke with confidence and composure, making critical remarks about Yan Shan as if looking at a defective product.


    Yan Shan was incomparably shocked in his heart. But Ye Yuan''s words deeply wounded his pride.


    True, with his strength, it was simply insufficient to let that old freak implanted a first-rate bloodline in him.


    "Stop pretending! My Thousand Mile Cloud Chasing Leopard bloodline is plenty enough to kill a rookie like you!" Yan Shan said in a violent rage.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with an emotional sigh, "Since you fused with bloodline power, then I''ll let you take a look at what''s called true king bloodline power!"


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan''s aura billowed to the skies. The martial artists'' expressions all changed. It was as if they heard a series of dragon roars!

 891 Formidable Bai Meng

    "True dragon bloodline! This Ye Yuan actually carries true dragon bloodline!"


    Inside the fighting arena, cries of exclamations sounded out all around.


    True dragon bloodline itself was nothing much. There were quite a number of human clans that possessed true dragon bloodline.


    But Ye Yuan''s terrifying dragon pressure made clear to all the purity of his bloodline.


    Under such dragon pressure, Yan Shan''s body was actually trembling!


    Although he tried his very best to control himself to not tremble, that sort of desire to submit originating from the bloodline made him lose control over himself.


    "You guys, look! Ye Yuan he �� actually cultivated dragon blood to the boundary of dragon transformation!"


    At this moment, Ye Yuan''s right arm actually thoroughly transformed into a dragon claw!


    The all the way unmoved like an ancient well Bai Meng finally revealed astonishment in his eyes at this time. But his astonishment only flashed past before fading, recovering composure very quickly.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    The fleshy body strength of the right arm which turned into a dragon''s claw rose by goodness knows how many times. Using the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm at this time, the power was unparalleled!


    It was as if an azure dragon was going to crush a myriad life on earth. What did a puny little Yan Shan count as?


    Boom!


    Under a palm, Yan Shan was directly smashed into a blurry mess of flesh and blood!


    It was also that Yan Shan fused with the Thousand Mile Cloud Chasing Leopard bloodline and his fleshy body was likewise incredibly powerful, that he could barely manage to maintain a human form.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "How �� How is this possible?" Yan Shan looked at Ye Yuan, still unwilling to believe this fact until now.


    "There''s nothing impossible! Old Freak Wei is too extreme and already offended the entire Demon Region! Moreover, whether or not this extraction and refinement method can obtain genuine divine beast blood essence is also something that cannot be known. At the very least, it won''t be much easier than breaking through to Deity Realm." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yan Shan had shock written all over his face. He did not think that Ye Yuan actually knew so many things.


    Old Freak Wei was an extremely mysterious genius figure. Apart from those major powers in the Divine Realm, very few people were aware of his existence.


    This fellow did not follow conventional thinking and loved to capture members of the demon race to extract and refine divine beast bloodline, wanting to obtain genuine divine beast blood essence through this sort of method.


    It was just that divine beast bloodline extracted and refined with this kind of method was too heterogeneous. Experimental subjects like Yan Shan would basically all be reduced to half-human, half-beast lunatics in the end; a tool that that only knew how to kill people.


    Old Freak Wei had killed god knows how many demons and already became the public enemy of the demon race.


    If not for the human race was too powerful, a war between the two races would probably have already occurred at this point.


    Even so, the Holy Region had no choice but to represent humans to declare Old Freak Wei wanted at large. Only then did it calm down the fury of the Demon Region.


    This guy was simply a troublemaker!


    "Apologies. The nonsense is a little much. I''ll send you on your way right now!"


    A cold light flashed. Yan Shan''s head directly flew out. This third level''s powerhouse who rose sharply was killed by Ye Yuan just like this.


    On the grandstand, when Nalan Chu saw this scene, he was unbelievably agitated.


    When he woke up and heard that Ye Yuan started Asura Mode, he was anxious until he nearly jumped up. But the Asura Mode had already been activated. He could do nothing but bite his nails as well.


    Helpless, he could only make Sun Qi help him to the fighting arena, but just happened to see Yan Shan and Ye Yuan face off.


    Regarding Ye Yuan killing Yan Shan, Nalan Chu was not very surprised. What he was truly worried about was Bai Meng!


    Bai Meng this guy, his strength was unfathomable. No one in the entire third level knew his depths.


    Although Nalan Chu was very confident in Ye Yuan, facing an enigmatic guy like Bai Meng, he still had no confidence in his heart.


    "Next, Bai Meng!" The gray-robed middle-aged man''s words were still calm. But that slight tremor still betrayed his state of mind at this time.


    Ye Yuan and Bai Meng''s showdown should be the pinnacle battle of Heaven Enlightenment Realms. Just who was strong and who was weak between the two people, this was something that everyone was waiting to see.


    Bai Meng slowly stepped forward. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said coolly, "You''re very strong!"


    Speaking until here, Bai Meng paused a bit, seemingly waiting for Ye Yuan''s response. Yet �� Ye Yuan did not give him the slightest reaction.


    "However, you''re not my match! Take your own life, I can leave you an intact corpse!"


    Bai Meng''s words revealed powerful self-confidence. After watching Ye Yuan''s exaggerated fight and still being able to say this kind of words, if Bai Meng was not a moron, then he was powerful until it made one''s hair stand on end!


    Very clearly, Bai Meng this powerhouse who domineeringly occupied the third level''s number one belonged to the latter.


    Bai Meng''s words aroused a wave of commotion. Quite a few people were all very stunned.


    "Bai Meng is really too confident! Ye Yuan''s performance is already sufficient to shock people''s hearts. He actually did not take it to heart at all."


    "The strength that Yan Shan displayed is much stronger compared to when he battled with Demon King! Ye Yuan was able to utterly crush him. Could it be that he still doesn''t have the qualifications to face-off with Bai Meng?"


    "Heh heh, Bai Meng is Bai Meng, he''s indeed my idol! I believe that he''s absolutely not bragging, but have sufficient strength to kill Ye Yuan!"


    In the crowd, some people had doubts about Bai Meng''s words. There was also a portion of the people who felt that Bai Meng had a well thought out plan.


    But no matter what, Bai Meng''s strength was sufficient to threaten Ye Yuan. This point, nobody doubted it at all.


    "The matter of besieging Demon King, you should have participated as well, right?" But Ye Yuan gave an answer which was irrelevant.


    Bai Meng smiled slightly and said, "This sort of trick, I''m actually very disdainful. But a puny little Demon King is not worthy of me making a move yet. So �� I let the people below go and play on their own."


    Bai Meng did not have the slightest intention of denying it. He had no need to deny it either.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was already a dead man. He had no need to mind a dead person''s attitude.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan''s nodded his head slightly and said, "Very good. Begin then!"


    Bai Meng smiled as he said, "I knew that you won''t be willing to submit. But once I make a move, you probably won''t have the chance anymore!"


    Boom!


    While everyone had yet to react to it, Ye Yuan''s body already flew out like a cannonball, slamming heavily onto the grand array.


    Seeing this scene, everyone drew a cold breath.


    "What happened just now? Did you guys see clearly?"


    Everyone on the grandstand exchanged glances, all not quite certain of what happened.


    The two people were clearly still talking the previous moment, why was Ye Yuan sent flying suddenly?


    A faint smile still hung on Bai Meng''s face as he said, "I said before, once I make a move, you won''t have the chance anymore! Your fleshy body is indeed not bad, but in my view, it''s completely not worth mentioning! Do you know why I remained in the third level? Simply because my cultivation realm hasn''t broken through to Phaseless Realm yet! But �� my fleshy body has already broken through to Tier 8 long ago!"


    Tier 8 fleshy body!


    This was still Ye Yuan''s first time encountering a human martial artist stronger than him in body refinement!


    That punch earlier, Ye Yuan used his right arm to protect his whole body at the most critical moment, blocking Bai Meng''s attack.


    Otherwise, whether Ye Yuan could stand right now or not was an issue!


    Ye Yuan''s right arm fused with the primeval dragon bone. In terms of strength, it could absolutely reach Tier 8. But his body''s other areas did not break through to Tier 8.


    Even so, Ye Yuan felt like his right arm was about to break.


    The might of this punch was seriously too powerful!


    Ye Yuan himself also did not expect that this Bai Meng would actually be so strong!

 892 Ye Yuans Trump Card!

    "Bai Meng''s fleshy body has actually broken through to Tier 8 already. How to fight? Ye Yuan was too impulsive. It was fine if he challenged Yan Shan, he shouldn''t have thrown in Bai Meng!"


    "With Bai Meng''s strength, he can enter the fourth level long ago! It''s just that he''d rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, that''s why he stayed in the third level. He''ll only enter the fourth level when his essence energy cultivation realm breaks through to Phaseless Realm."


    "Ye Yuan is already very strong! He carries the dragon race bloodline, and his fleshy body is powerful beyond comprehension. But facing the Tier 8 fleshy body Bai Meng, he can only die aggrieved."


    Ye Yuan cut down Yan Shan. This made many people look forward to his showdown with Bai Meng.


    But now, facing such a powerful Bai Meng, they could not see the tiniest scrap of chance of Ye Yuan winning at all.


    A streak of fresh blood flowed out from the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. Clearly, that punch earlier already damaged his insides.


    But this bit of injury did not count for anything to Ye Yuan at all. He revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art and this bit of injury recovered in a blink of an eye.


    Ye Yuan loosened up his body and said with a smile, "Tier 8 is it? A little interesting! At least, it can make me get serious! If you''re as weak as that trash just now, that will be too meaningless!"


    Bai Meng''s expression fell, and he said disdainfully, "Still planning on holding strong? Boy, I''ll give you another chance, end your own life. Otherwise, once I make a move, it won''t be that easy for you to preserve an intact corpse."


    But Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Looks like you''ve stayed too long in the third level and became somewhat arrogant and conceited! Enough crap, bring it!"


    "Humph! You''re courting death yourself, can''t blame me for it!" Bai Meng gave a cold snort and suddenly vanished from sight.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was struck flying by Bai Meng once more with a punch!


    This time, Bai Meng did not pause. He wanted to dispose of Ye Yuan in one go.


    Ye Yuan felt like the bones in his entire body was going to fall apart. He clashed a punch with Bai Meng just now, but the other party''s fist was seriously too powerful, making him actually somewhat unable to hold his own.


    Bai Meng attacked again. Ye Yuan did not dare to spurn it. Lifting his hand, it was another punch!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was struck flying once more!


    The current Bai Meng was just like a war chariot; crushing Ye Yuan frenziedly. Ye Yuan was like a sandbag under his hands, being hit flying around everywhere by him.


    But what made Bai Meng depressed was that no matter how he exerted strength, he was unable to thoroughly dispose of Ye Yuan.


    He could feel that Ye Yuan''s fist was likewise incomparably tough; absolutely not inferior to his fleshy body. But Ye Yuan''s entire body''s strength was unable to keep up, resulting in him being at an absolute disadvantageous position in terms of strength.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art to the limits once more, healing the wounds on his body constantly, so as to deal with Bai Meng''s next attack.


    Under Bai Meng''s attacks, Ye Yuan was weak like a leaf floating along with the wind; without the slightest strength to retaliate at all.


    In a twinkle, Bai Meng unleashed a hundred punches but was forcefully withstood by Ye Yuan.


    Bai Meng did not hold back in the slightest. These hundred punches, he poured in every last ounce of strength but was unable to take Ye Yuan down.


    "Huff, huff, huff ��"


    Bai Meng finally ceased his attacks, Ye Yuan''s pants were like puffing bellows.


    Bai Meng''s condition was slightly better, but from the sweat drops at the sides of his head, one could also tell that his exhaustion was likewise not little.


    "Haha, j-just this bit of strength? Didn''t you say that once you make a move, I won''t have the chance anymore? Turns out that your bragging abilities are much more formidable than your actual skills!" Ye Yuan gasped for air, but his words were full with ridicule.


    Grabbing hold of this gap, Ye Yuan also crazily urged his Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, restoring his internal organs'' wounds.


    Ye Yuan felt like his entire arm was already no longer his. He practically did not even have the strength to lift his arm.


    But what made Ye Yuan excited was that his fleshy body was becoming stronger bit by bit. It was already not far from breaking through to Tier 8!


    Ye Yuan was obviously not a fool. The reason why he took a beating like this was that he discovered that this kind of limit fighting style could squeeze out the potential of the primeval dragon bone, making his refinement become even faster!


    This short while''s time was sufficient to match up to a hundred days of his bitter cultivation already.


    At present, people able to make Ye Yuan fight under this kind of extreme state was really very seldom-seen.


    Without a doubt, Bai Meng had this strength.


    Encountering an opponent with such a powerful fleshy body was indeed very hard.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Bai Meng''s expression was incomparably ugly.


    He could tell from Ye Yuan cutting down Yan Shan that although Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was strong, he was absolutely not his match.


    But this brat was actually very spooky. He really could not do anything about him for a short while.


    Seeing Ye Yuan taunt, Bai Meng''s face was black like the bottom of a wok.


    "Whether it''s bragging or not, you''ll know right away! But I have to admit, you''re already rather impressive to be able to force me to use this move!"


    Only to see Bai Meng roar. The garment on his upper body immediately exploded, his entire body''s explosive muscles exposed in front of everyone.


    The seven stars on his glabella gradually hid from view, turning into clouds of black gas, revolving around Bai Meng.


    "Black Demon Tyrannical Martial Fist!"


    A horrifying aura reverberated on the fighting arena. Even when separated so far away from Bai Meng, everyone on the grandstand could still sense the might of this punch.


    They were all sighing endlessly in their hearts. If Ye Yuan did not go and provoke Bai Meng, maybe he could still hang on for a while.


    But now, Bai Meng was enraged!


    Under this one punch, Ye Yuan had no chance to be spared.


    When Sun Qi saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically, and he said to Nalan Chu, "Lord Demon King, this �� what to do about this?"


    Nalan Chu''s face still had a ghostly pale look but did not panic or lose his head at Ye Yuan''s circumstances.


    Hearing that, he replied with a smile, "If Bai Meng is only at this level, he''s dead for sure. Although I don''t know why Ye Yuan dragged until now, this punch should be able to force out Ye Yuan''s trump card!"


    Sun Qi''s expression changed as he looked at Nalan Chu in disbelief.


    Could it be that fighting until now, Ye Yuan actually had not brought out his most powerful trump card yet?


    In the fighting arena, Ye Yuan drew out the Starmoon Sword neither too quickly nor too slowly. A faintly discernible sword intent started rising in the field.


    This sword qi was not strong. It was not as peerless as Bai Meng''s move. But it was like a stubborn little grass in the cracks of a rock on a cliff; very tenacious!


    "Will �� Soaring �� to the Skies!"


    Ye Yuan lightly slashed a sword out, without any flashiness, without the slightest threat. The way the vast majority of the martial artists saw it, it was even somewhat hilarious.


    But when the gray-robed middle-aged man at the side of the arena saw this scene, his expression changed!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    This sword intent was condensed and did not radiate. But the powerful strength contained within, he sensed it vividly!


    Swish!


    Under everyone''s disbelieving eyes, this sword easily cleaved apart that indomitable fist of Bai Meng''s. After that, the remaining force did not reduce, splitting Bai Meng''s entire person into two halves!


    Bai Meng''s corpse that collapsed on the ground still had wide circles for eyes. Clearly, he could not believe everything that happened before his eyes.


    He had clearly occupied the absolute initiative, why did he die in a wink of an eye?


    "H-How can it be like this? How can this flimsy slash possibly cut down the Tier 8 fleshy body Bai Meng?"


    This was what everyone thought at this instant.

 893 Snatching People

    "What a terrifying sword! This brat''s sword intent has probably already reached the sixth-stage! How in the world did he comprehend it at this young age?"


    When the gray-robed middle-aged man saw this sword, he had an indescribable shock in his heart.


    To be able to comprehend a supreme true intent to the level of sixth-stage, they were basically all some famous old monsters.


    Like Ye Yuan this age, that was virtually something impossible.


    The comprehension of a supreme true intent, the further back, the more arduous. The greater the power too. But wanting to cultivate a supreme true intent to the level of the great circle of perfection, that was absolutely as hard as ascending to the heavens!


    But Ye Yuan already comprehended sword intent to such a level at such a young age. Cultivating to the great circle of perfection seemed like it was just a matter of time too.


    "Bai Meng �� died just like this? I still can''t believe my eyes right now."


    "Ye Yuan he �� succeeded in challenging Suicide Mode? Furthermore, who he challenged was even the third level''s number one person!"


    "My God! He succeeded in challenging Asura Mode. How many years has it been since this sort of thing happened in the Asura Arena? Ye Yuan, he created a miracle!"


    At this time, some people finally realized that Ye Yuan was challenging Asura Mode.


    This challenge that went by Suicide Mode was actually completed by Ye Yuan!


    These Heaven Enlightenment Realm peak geniuses were actually slaughtered cleanly by Ye Yuan within a day just like this!


    This kind of battle result was seriously too heaven-defying!


    On Ye Yuan''s glabella, the sixth star was currently condensing and forming. Killing 20 people in one go, furthermore, they were all opponents ranked extremely highly.


    The Slaughter Concept''s values on their bodies were very high, especially Bai Meng. A large portion of the Slaughter Concept would enter Ye Yuan''s body after their death.


    The gray-robed middle-aged man came in front of Ye Yuan and opened his mouth to say, "Ye Yuan, you succeeded in challenging Asura Mode and will obtain 500 points as a reward! Additionally, top-tier cultivation chambers are free for you to use for one month!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Many thanks!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan was just about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by the gray-robed middle-aged man.


    "I''m the Seventh Slaughter General, Mo Shang, under Exalt Netherkill''s command. I wonder if you''re interested to join Exalt Netherkill''s command and became the Ninth Slaughter General? Don''t worry, the Exalt rarely makes the slaughter generals do things. You can have more time to cultivate. Furthermore, apart from the regular points and essence crystals incentives, you''ll obtain every month, you''ll even have more authority!" The gray-robed middle-aged man suddenly said.


    "Exalt Netherkill?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. Clearly, it was his first time hearing of this name.


    "Exalt Netherkill is the most mysterious existence among the 12 Exalts. Even us Eight Great Slaughter Generals have never met him before either! It''s precisely because so that he normally rarely intervenes in our, slaughter generals'', affairs, and also rarely orders us to do things. Furthermore, he''s extremely stringent in selecting slaughter generals. The number of slaughter generals under his command is also the least. But each of us slaughter generals can fight one on two!"


    Mo Shang explained, clearly very proud about becoming a slaughter general under Exalt Netherkill''s command.


    "Oh? Since that''s the case, you can make this decision on Exalt Netherkill''s behalf?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    But Mo Shang said solemnly, "If even you don''t have the qualifications either, then nobody is qualified! In these 10 thousand years, you''re the first martial artist to succeed in challenging Asura Mode! Furthermore, your challenge is different from the rest. The people you challenged were all the strongest batch in the third level!"


    But when Ye Yuan heard that, he started to ruminate. Mo Shang did not interrupt him either. He just quietly waited for his reply.


    But the martial artists on the grandstand all burst into an uproar.


    "Did you guys hear it? Lord Mo Shang is actually inviting Ye Yuan to become a slaughter general under Exalt Netherkill''s command!"


    "Yeah! Exalt Netherkill only has eight slaughter generals under his command. Moreover, each one of them is a peak Phaseless Realm powerhouse. Ye Yuan is merely just initial-stage Heaven Enlightenment Realm, and he''s actually invited to become a slaughter general already!"


    "Although Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm is not high enough, his potential is too great! In this sort of place like the Asura Arena, leaping realms to battle is extremely seldom-seen. Ye Yuan is only Third Level Heaven Enlightenment, and he''s actually able to easily cut down the first place Bai Meng. This kind of genius is bound to be exceedingly popular!"


    "Heh heh, it''s still Lord Mo Shang who is smart! After Ye Yuan exits this place, probably apart from Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and Exalt Blazing Fire, the other exalts will all send people here to snatch him. If Ye Yuan agrees, Lord Mo Shang would have performed an exceptional meritorious service!"


    The people were currently discussing animatedly when a melodious female voice sounded out in the sky above the fighting arena.


    "Mo Shang, Ye Yuan is someone that this exalt has taken fancy on. You actually dare to cut mefor visiting.


    Two mighty exalts actually started losing all decorum in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan suddenly smiled when he heard that and opened his mouth to say, "Two Lord Exalts, junior suddenly had some enlightenment in the battle just now and need to enter closed-seclusion to meditate over it. I''ll take my leave first!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swaggered off.The ''cut me off'' here is actually a loose translation of a mahjong term. The equivalent gaming term is basically kill-steal, lol

 894 Proclamation Coming Ou

    "The latest issue of the Earth Carnage Proclamation is freshly out! Everybody, quickly come and take a look!" On the streets, someone started crying out.


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower would issue a Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation list once every half a year, publishing and binding into a book, and issuing to all corners of the Chaotic Devil Sea for free.


    Being in a favorable position, Asura City was naturally the place to obtain the proclamations first.


    Whenever this time came, many martial artists would all abandon cultivation in order to take a look at the list, to see if they were ranked on the list or not.


    This list was very authoritative. Basically, the difference in ranking on the Earth Carnage Proclamation determined the depths of each one''s strength.


    Just like assessing the Ten Great Divine Kings back then, there were naturally people who were unconvinced by this ranking. They would go and challenge martial artists ranked higher than them on the Earth Carnage Proclamation, so as to prove that this proclamation was utter rubbish.


    But the final result was that nine out of ten challengers all failed.


    In the end, it naturally proved that this list was not completely correct. But the authority of this list was also established from then on.


    Close to two months time had already passed since Ye Yuan killed Bai Meng. This period of time, Ye Yuan had always been in closed-seclusion inside the top-tier cultivation chamber, turning a complete deaf ear to the various exalts'' roping in of him.


    And today, was the day a new issue of the proclamations were issued. The martial artists in the entire city were all craning their necks in anticipation.


    "This half a year, my strength advanced greatly. Quickly help me see if I made it on the list or not!"


    "Let me take a look �� uh, already checked until 450th place already. Doesn''t seem like there''s you!"


    "No way, right? I �� I actually failed again!"


    Asura City, just inside the Asura Arena had several tens of thousands of martial artists. Furthermore, all of them were formidable rivals. Wanting to slaughter into the top 500 was absolutely not an easy thing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Although everyone was all energetic and in high spirits, the final results were mostly disappointment.


    After the disappointment, the people were more zealous about those powerhouses'' ranking changes.


    And the one receiving the most attention among them was undoubtedly the Ye Yuan who cut down Bai Meng not long before.


    Before that, they were all spreading that Bai Meng would be able to climb to the number one position this time. Since Ye Yuan killed Bai Meng, number one should be something without the least bit of suspense, right?


    "Quickly flip ahead, take a look if number one is Ye Yuan or not!" Someone urged.


    "En? Number one �� is still Mu Yang! It''s actually not Ye Yuan!"


    "No way, right? Did you see wrongly or not? Bai Meng''s fleshy body broke through to Tier 8, Mu Yang shouldn''t be Bai Meng''s match! Ye Yuan slew Bai Meng, how can he possibly not be on the Earth Carnage Proclamation?"


    This person clearly did not believe it and snatched the list over. Focusing his eyes and looking, indeed, he saw that the number one name was still Mu Yang.


    What was recorded on the Earth Carnage Proclamation was the entire Chaotic Devil Sea''s experts and not all of the experts in the Asura Arena. This Mu Yang was not inside the Asura Arena, but he overpowered Bai Meng to become the Chaotic Devil Sea''s number one.


    Now that Ye Yuan slew Mu Yang but was still unable to surpass Mu Yang, could it be that this Mu Yang''s strength was already daunting to this sort of degree?


    "It''s not right! You look downwards some more, even if Ye Yuan isn''t first place, he can at least rank into the top ten, right?" This sentence reminded everyone. They hurriedly looked downwards.


    But from first place to 20th place, there was still no sight of Ye Yuan''s name.


    These people were unreconciled to it and continued to look down. But the more they looked down, the more disappointed they got. They looked all the way to the 300th place but still did not see Ye Yuan''s name.


    With this, everyone was depressed.


    "What kind of lousy Earth Carnage Proclamation! Heaven''s Secret Tower that bunch of fools, they are messing with us here, right? Someone as powerful as Ye Yuan actually can''t even get on the Earth Carnage Proclamation?" That martial artist threw the Earth Carnage Proclamation onto the ground and said disdainfully.


    They all saw Ye Yuan''s strength with their own eyes. If even Ye Yuan could not get on the Earth Carnage Proclamation, then wasn''t these rankings on the Earth Carnage Proclamation sheer nonsense?


    "Forget it! Everyone says that Heaven''s Secret Tower is omniscient. I think it''s also just like that! Forget it, forget it, better take a look at the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! If there are no accidents, the Heaven Carnage Proclamation this time should still be Dou Jue, right? I just wonder if any of those few that came out from the third level entered the Earth Carnage Proclamation this time or not."


    The moment these words came out, a bunch of people immediately became excited too, and took out the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and started looking.


    "500th place, Zhen Hong. 499th place, Guo Xun. 498th place, Liu Ye. Heh heh, these few lords indeed got on the proclamation after half a year''s time of accumulation! En? 4 �� 495th place, Y-Ye Yuan! N-No way, right?"


    "Haha, are you teasing me? Ye Yuan is just Heaven Enlightenment Realm, how can he possibly get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation? If you''re lying to Your Father, you should also use some brains, alright?" Another person said with a laugh.


    "W-Who''s joking with you? If you don''t believe, see for yourself!" As he said, that person directly threw the list to the other party.


    "Heh heh, I''ll look then! Your Father has never heard before that a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist can even get on ��"


    He was just talking when his eyes also glimpsed the last few names on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. Ye Yuan''s name was shockingly there!


    "R-Really got on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! This �� How is this possible?"


    Very soon, the news of Ye Yuan getting on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation swept across the entire Asura Arena''s third level like a tornado.


    In the Asura Shop, Exalt Si Yin looked at the Heaven Carnage Proclamation list in her hand, her expression very ugly.


    "Shao Kai, what do you think?" Si Yin asked the middle-aged man in brocade beside her.


    "In this subordinate''s view, Ye Yuan definitely obtained a very big breakthrough in these two months of seclusion. Although he was also very strong when fighting with Bai Meng, he shouldn''t be powerful to a degree where he gets on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. But it''s precisely because so that this Ye Yuan is even more terrifying! His growth rate is too fast!" Shao Kai said solemnly.


    Under normal circumstances, after the martial artists on the Earth Carnage Proclamation broke through to Phaseless Realm, there would be a period of accumulation before they had a chance to get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation.


    After all, the people on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation were not to be trifled with. Even if those Heaven Enlightenment Realm geniuses were any stronger, it was also impossible to immediately surpass these Phaseless Realm seniors.


    "As time passed, people''s understanding of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation had also deviated. Actually, the Heaven''s Secret Tower issuing this proclamation was originally ranked according to strength and potential, and not at all divided according to cultivation realm. Normally speaking, the Heaven Carnage Proclamation is the real powerhouse list, while what the Earth Carnage Proclamation regards as more important is potential. However, Ye Yuan being able to ascend to the Heaven Carnage Proclamation with Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivation, this is the first time since the two proclamations were published!" Si Yin said.


    Shao Kai nodded his head rather approvingly as he said, "This Ye Yuan is truly remarkable! Sadly �� it will probably not be easy for Lord Exalt to want to bring him under your command."


    Si Yin''s expression fell, clearly quite vexed.


    Indeed, Si Yin was somewhat regretting now! Had she long known about today, she would have directly offered the points to help Ye Yuan buy the Slaughter Sword Art.


    Delivering charcoal in the snow was more favorable than adding flowers to embroidery.


    Wanting to rope in Ye Yuan now would probably need to expend a greater price.


    "Heavenly Slaughter Pit is going to open very soon. We need Ye Yuan right now! No matter how great a price I spend, I must pull Ye Yuan over to my side!" Si Yin gritted her teeth and said.

 895 Crucial Role

    Just as the outside world expected, these two months time, Ye Yuan''s strength increase was all-round!


    Experiencing Bai Meng''s battle, Ye Yuan finally found the opportunity for body-refinement to breakthrough to Tier 8.


    After half a month, Ye Yuan drew support from the power of medicinal pills and broke through to Tier 8 in one stroke!


    Breaking through to Tier 8 brought tremendous changes to Ye Yuan.


    The primeval dragon bone''s energy was released further, making Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm rise a great deal too, directly bursting through the Fourth Level Heaven Enlightenment''s bottleneck, finally reaching Sixth Level Heaven Enlightenment.


    What made Ye Yuan even more surprised was that his dragon wave finally broke through to middle-stage spirit rank after the breakthrough this time!


    Ye Yuan''s talent in dragon wave, even Long Teng marveled greatly with admiration. But after he broke through to spirit rank, the rate of progress had always been very slow.


    The power of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan had always relied on the advancement of the fleshy body to increase it.


    All the way until this time, Ye Yuan''s dragon wave finally broke through the bottleneck.


    After breaking through to middle-stage spirit rank, the power of Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm had an extremely great increase.


    Ye Yuan also became aware that after his dragon wave was cultivated to spirit rank, the frequency of that sort of vibration reached a very terrifying level. Wanting to make any more advancements were countless harder than before.


    This was also the reason why he had always been unable to break through the middle-stage bottleneck.


    With the strength of Ye Yuan''s Tier 7 fleshy body, wanting to reach that sort of vibration frequency was virtually something impossible.


    This time, Ye Yuan broke through to Tier 8, the strength of his fleshy body had a tremendous increase. Only then did it let him break through the bottleneck in one stroke.


    Of course, the increase in dragon wave made the power of the Void Dragon Shadow Punch have a substantial increase too. But because Ye Yuan''s Scorching Supreme True Intent still remained at a standstill, this limited the increase of Ye Yuan''s strength.


    The remaining half a month, Ye Yuan was constantly cultivating the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s seventh layer martial technique ��- Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not cultivate in seclusion with a one-track-mind.


    He thought of a possibility, since the Vast Heaven Stele was able to help him comprehend concepts, then if he entered the Vast Heaven Stele''s space to cultivate this martial technique, would he comprehend it faster or not?


    Ye Yuan visualized the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire and entered the Vast Heaven Stele''s space. He discovered that inside the Vast Heaven Stele''s space, there was actually a transparent silhouette battling him with Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire!


    Furthermore, this transparent person''s Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire was actually at minor accomplishment!


    This discovery made Ye Yuan pleasantly surprised!


    Such an opponent was simply tailor-made for him!


    This half a month''s time, Ye Yuan was demolished by this transparent person goodness knows how many times. Finally, it made his Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire reach minor accomplishment!


    This sort of cultivation speed was simply rated as horrifying!


    One had to know what when Ye Yuan comprehended the Void Fire Mark back then, he spent quite a few month''s time.


    But the difficulty of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire was god knows how many times greater than the Void Fire Mark.


    Ye Yuan actually only used half a month to cultivate the Blazing Sun Heavenly Fire to minor accomplishment.


    As such, his Scorching Supreme True Intent also smoothly broke through to the second-stage!


    Two months later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion fully satisfied and contented.


    After exiting seclusion, the first one he went to find was naturally Demon king Nalan Chu.


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that when he found Nalan Chu, that gray-robed middle-aged man, Mo Shang, actually just happened to be present.


    The moment Nalan Chu saw Ye Yuan, it was like he saw his savior. He hurriedly pulled him to one side and said, "Oh my Young Lord, you finally exited seclusion! If you still don''t leave seclusion, my doorway will be trampled broken!"


    Ye Yuan took a look at Nalan Chu and glanced at Mo Shang, and instantly knew what happened in this period of time.


    Looks like those few exalts all did not give up!


    Unable to find him, they actually set their eyes on Nalan Chu.


    Looking at Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, don''t act meek after receiving benefits! These two months, accepted gifts until your hands became weak, right?"


    Nalan Chu''s face involuntarily reddened when he heard that. He was just about to explain when he heard Ye Yuan say again, "Heh, if you accepted, then keep it. Since lord exalts they all are so courteous, we can''t fail to appreciate favors either!"


    Ye Yuan knew that these exalts finding him one by one was definitely not taking fancy on his potential, but because he had some areas for them to exploit.


    In this sort of place like the Chaotic Devil Sea, if one naively thought that their talent was regarded highly by some important figure and want to groom heavily, then the final outcome would definitely be very tragic.


    Since that was the case, why not take it since there were benefits?


    But Nalan Chu passed Ye Yuan a storage ring and said, "The gifts I accepted are all here. These gifts were gifted targeted at you. It should belong to you."


    But Ye Yuan smiled and pushed it back, saying, "If they gave you, just take it. Being polite for what? Could it be that you think they will still treat me shabbily?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan circled around Nalan Chu and clasped his hands towards Mo Shang, saying with a smile, "What a nice mood Senior Mo Shang is in, to actually come here and be a guest."


    Mo Shang smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "You, this brat, really can''t do anything about you! Don''t tell me that you don''t know my intentions for coming!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and refrained from commenting.


    Mo Shang could not help being somewhat gloomy about his blow landing on cotton. But he opened his mouth again, "Senior, this word, I don''t deserve it! You''re a powerhouse on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation now too! Logically speaking, we should be of the same generation. If you don''t mind, just call me Elder Brother Mo."


    Ye Yuan froze. He had yet to understand what was going on when Nalan Chu explained, "The other day, the new issue of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and Earth Carnage Proclamation were already published. Your name appeared on the 495th place of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation! This matter has already caused a huge commotion in the Asura Arena."


    Only when Ye Yuan heard did he come to realize it.


    He himself also did not think that he would actually get on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation.


    But Ye Yuan estimated his strength presently a little, beating Sixth Level Phaseless martial artists shouldn''t be anything difficult. Getting on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation did not seem to be something hard to believe either.


    It was just that, what made Ye Yuan surprised was that he was in closed-seclusion for two months and his strength had a tremendous increase. Such a thing actually could not hide from the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s eyes and ears.


    This Heaven''s Secret Tower was seriously mysterious until it made people feel terrified.


    Ye Yuan in closed-door seclusion, if he was spied on by others, it was impossible to not detect anything at all. Then how did Heaven''s Secret Tower come to know that he had the strength to leap realms and battle?


    "Elder Brother Mo, even if Younger Brother, I, got on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation, compared to you, I''m afraid the disparity is still too great, right? You already said that Exalt Netherkill is extremely stringent in selecting slaughter generals, why would he pick me?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that was not a smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Actually, Ye Yuan already had some guesses in his heart. It was just that he still needed to confirm it through Mo Shang''s mouth.


    Although Ye Yuan gleaned considerable benefits in the Chaotic Devil Sea, he did not forget his objective of coming here.


    Long Teng was still in slumber and needed Skandha Divine Stones to nourish.


    And Skandha Divine Stones was the Chaotic Devil Sea''s local specialty!


    This matter, very few in the outside world knew. But with Ji Qingyun''s status, he was naturally aware.


    Skandha Divine Stones were inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit!


    Mo Shang did not hesitate. Opening his mouth, he said, "One month later, the Heavenly Slaughter Pit will be opening! When the time comes, the 12 Exalts will bring a large group of subordinates to enter inside! And you will play a major crucial role!"

 896 Conditions

    "Heavenly Slaughter pit?" Ye Yuan intentionally pretended to not know.


    Mo Shang nodded his head. Darting a glance at Nalan Chu, Nalan Chu got the meaning and left on his own accord.


    After Nalan Chu left, Mo Shang explained, "This is a secret only limited to slaughter general-class to know! The Asura Arena has limitless good stuff and also a set of slaughter rules that the outside world doesn''t. And these all originate from the Heavenly Slaughter Pit!"


    "The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is an ancient battlefield, and also a land where gods fall! There are inexhaustible treasures inside. Of course, it also comes with tremendous danger. The Heavenly Slaughter Pit opens once every ten years. And two months later is precisely the ten-year date."


    Ye Yuan''s face made a surprised expression at the right time, but asked, "What does that have to do with me?"


    Mo Shang said, "Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, the exalts discovered a grotto. And opening the grotto requires dragon race bloodline."


    Ye Yuan came to a realization when he heard that. No wonder these exalts were all like flies, watching closely and not letting go.


    "In that case, I''m a rare commodity in short supply right now? It''s just �� ten years passed all at once, these Exalts can''t have not prepared any backup plans, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Although dragon race bloodline was scarce, as long as one searched seriously, they could still find some.


    Since these exalts got their eyes on that grotto, it was impossible to not find martial artists carrying dragon blood in these ten years.


    "That is, of course! It''s just that martial artists carrying dragon race bloodline aren''t easy to find. The ones who found dragon blood martial artists now are only four or five exalts." Mo Shang.


    "Since they already found four or five, why do they still want to come looking for me?" Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.


    "That, I''m not too sure. Maybe they took a liking to your strength. Because that grotto, exalts can''t enter! Furthermore, since it requires dragon race bloodline, the treasures inside are very likely to be related to the dragon race. People carrying dragon race bloodline naturally have a greater chance of obtaining treasures." Mo Shang guessed.


    Hearing Mo Shang''s explanation, Ye Yuan could not help frowning and say, "Looks like, there were exalts who perished in that grotto?"


    This sort of thing, one would only know after testing it out personally.


    Mo Shang nodded and said, "The last time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened up, everyone accidentally stumbled upon and barged into the Dragon Sovereign Territory. As a result, two Exalts were directly obliterated by the rules inside! Exalt Si Yin and Exalt Blazing Fire were supplemented in after that."


    This Asura Arena had operated for several tens of thousands of years. But there had always been just 12 Exalts. Only after one of the exalts died, would the people below have a chance to fill in the vacancy to become an exalt.


    However, even if there wasn''t the Dragon Sovereign Territory incident, the replacing of the 12 Exalts was also very frequent.


    Virtually every time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened, there would be several exalts who die inside.


    However, there were too many good stuff inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit. Each time it opened, the exalts would advance and fill the gaps left by fallen comrades, and enter the Heavenly Slaughter Pit to seek treasures.


    "Huhu, actually, It doesn''t matter to me. It''s just that since the exalts are unable to enter, how would he know how many treasures I annex inside?" Ye Yuan said with an indifferent look.


    Mo Shang said, "Joining under the command of an exalt is not a verbal agreement, but swearing upon one''s own Absolute Kill Token! After swearing, the exalt and the slaughter general will reach a kind of agreement. Once the slaughter general violates the oath, his life and death will be up to the exalt to control. Of course, as long as you don''t go against the oath, the exalt won''t erase you either."


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "It seems like that I have no choice."


    Mo Shang nodded his head and said, "Under this sort of circumstances now, you indeed don''t have a choice anymore! If you reject all of the exalts, you''ll probably become their common enemy!"


    Becoming the common enemy of the 12 Exalts, this did not sound like a fun thing no matter what.


    But his life and death being controlled by others was clearly not Ye Yuan''s style.


    "Then �� speaking of which, why should I join under Exalt Netherkill''s command?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Mo Shang was clearly long prepared and said with a smile, "Lord Exalt has already promised, as long as you agree, entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, all of the things you acquire will belong to Younger Brother Ye yourself. Lord Exalt he only wants one thing inside! I think that this promise, the other exalts are all unable to do it! Younger Brother Ye, you have just exited seclusion. I believe the other exalts will also come and look for you. At that time, Younger Brother Ye can do a comparison."


    Mo Shang was very confident. Because when Exalt Netherkill stated this condition, even he was taken aback too.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not show a surprised expression and said with a smile, "Sounds pretty good! Then just as Elder Brother Mo says, this Ye will make a decision again after shopping around."


    Sending away Mo Shang, Ye Yuan could not help pondering.


    Looks like the competition between the 12 Exalts was also quite fierce. Whatever fishy activities were going on in-between this, probably only they themselves would know.


    Ye Yuan''s objective this trip was the Skandha Divine Stone. But hearing Mo Shang say so, he also became interested in this Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    As for the Absolute Kill Token oath that Mo Shang talked about, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart. Some things, he would only do for Mo Shang to see.


    With Ye Yuan''s tricks, how could wanting to control him be easy?


    ...


    Indeed as Mo Shang predicted, a full day''s time, apart from Exalt Heavenly Hedonist, Exalt Blazing Fire, and Exalt Si Yin, the other nine Exalts all sent people over.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    It was just that the terms these exalts offered were all not as generous as Exalt Netherkill.


    Comparing them, it seemed like Ye Yuan could only agree to Exalt Netherkill.


    What made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised was that Exalt Si Yin actually did not come over.


    Looking at her behavior that day, she should regard Ye Yuan very highly. In the end, apart from Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and Exalt Blazing Fire, only Exalt Si Yin did not come.


    Just as Ye Yuan thought that she would not come, at midnight, Si Yin actually came over personally.


    "Exalt Si Yin gracing me with your grand presence, I''m truly honored by your visit!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Si Yin said expressionlessly, "Ye Yuan, you should know this exalt''s intention for coming, right? State your conditions. As long as you swear fealty to this exalt, this exalt can promise you any terms!"


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Exalt Si Yin coming to find this Ye, isn''t it in order to catch up on old times?"


    Si Yin''s expression changed, and she said with a cold snort, "Ye Yuan, this Exalt came personally and the conditions are up to you to state. Could it be that this sincerity is still not enough?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Lord Exalt''s attitude isn''t right! If you want to talk about sincerity, Lord Exalt stating clearly your request this trip seems to have more sincerity, right?"


    Ye Yuan was not some easy to hoodwink person. Si Yin, as an Exalt, lowered her attitude to come to find Ye Yuan personally, she definitely had considerable motives.


    At least, Ye Yuan''s function to Si Yin was indispensable.


    The more Ye Yuan obtained, the more he naturally had to pay as well. Maybe he kicks the bucket inside, then all of the promises would naturally vanish like mist and smoke too.


    Including that Exalt Netherkill, he only wanted one thing inside. That thing was definitely not that easy to get.


    These things, Ye Yuan had a score in his heart.


    If he must pick an exalt, Ye Yuan actually leaned more towards Exalt Si Yin.

 897 Coercing an Exal

    Si Yin''s expression turned cold, clearly very displeased with this attitude of Ye Yuan.


    She had become an exalt for close to ten years already. Who in this Asura Arena did not quake in their boots when they saw her?


    But this brat still wet behind his ears before her eyes actually started shaking his tail feathers in front of her!


    However, Si Yin really could not do without Ye Yuan this trip. Hence, that was why she humbled herself and bent her knee to come and see Ye Yuan personally.


    Ye Yuan was very popular right now. If she did not come personally, Ye Yuan definitely would not choose her.


    "Humph! The terms they offer are good, but do you have the life to take it? The last time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened, the several dozen Phaseless Realm experts who entered the Dragon Sovereign Territory, only a measly few people came out! Your strength is decent, but that''s also just within Heaven Enlightenment Realm! You got to know that the ones going in this time are all Heaven Carnage Proclamation martial artists, while you merely rank at the end of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation!" Si Yin said with a cold snort.


    This kind of thing naturally did not need Si Yin to remind. Ye Yuan understood in his heart. Except, want to cheat him, Ye Yuan, those few guys were probably not qualified enough yet.


    It was just that Ye Yuan perceived some overtones from Si Yin''s words.


    "Hearing the meaning in Lord Exalt''s words, seems like you''re not planning on entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory?"


    Ye Yuan was rather curious. Since all of the exalts were very interested in the Dragon Sovereign Territory, that place should have quite a bit of treasures. But this Exalt Si Yin seemed to have other plans.


    "The Dragon Sovereign Territory is merely just a giant scam. Wanting to obtain treasures from inside is even harder than ascending to the heavens! You follow this exalt, this exalt will naturally ensure your safety and even give you enormous benefits!" Si Yin offered the biggest ace in the hole.


    No matter how great the treasures were, one also had to have the life to take it. This promise of Si Yin''s counted as giving Ye Yuan an insurance to both get benefits and also return safely.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to buy it and said indifferently, "Say in detail."


    Si Yin was helpless and could only control her temper and said, "The last time this exalt entered the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, I discovered a grotto in a remote area. This Exalt merely just search for a bit at the peripherals, and I found a lot of good stuff. This exalt being able to become an exalt was all thanks to this grotto. It''s just that there is a stone gate there that is completely immune to essence energy. This exalt couldn''t open it even after racking my brain."


    "So, you took fancy on that I''m a body-refinement martial artist, that''s why you would invite me to join your camp?" Ye Yuan followed up.


    Si Yin did not reply, but the meaning was already very clear.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate much and said with a nod, "Okay, deal! After entering that grotto, I want half of the treasures. In addition, I have the right to have a priority pick of the treasures three times!"


    Si Yin''s expression changed. She did not think that Ye Yuan would actually open his mouth to demand an exorbitant price. She said in a cold voice, "You really dare to demand for this! This Exalt waited for ten years, could it be to prepare the wedding gown for you?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I haven''t said finish yet! I can join your camp, but we must enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory first!"


    This time, Si Yin was really enraged; "Ye Yuan, don''t reach out for a yard after taking an inch! Do you think that this Exalt really must find you?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since that''s the case, then there''s nothing to discuss. Lord Exalt, please find someone more capable!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan was about to turn around and leave. Si Yin was enraged until her lovely body was trembling wildly. She really wanted to smack Ye Yuan to death with one slap.


    A Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat actually dared to be so unbridled in front of her, this exalt!


    But at this juncture, she could not find a second choice at all already. Si Yin''s seniority among the 12 Exalts was the most shallow. Her force was also the smallest, completely unable to compete with the other Exalts.


    Encountering such a body-refinement talent was not easy to come by for her.


    "Hold it!" Finally, Si Yin still caved. She opened her mouth and said, "Give you 40% of the treasures and the right to have priority pick of the treasures one time!"


    Ye Yuan did not have a single trace of ripple and still carried on walking forward.


    Si Yin bit her lower lip hard, her expression grim until it was almost about to drip water. Yet, she finally still opened her mouth, "Fine! I promise you! However, you must enter that grotto together with me first!"


    Only then, did Ye Yuan turn around in satisfaction and said smilingly, "There''s nothing to discuss! Disregarding whether or not that grotto you mentioned have any dangers, even if it has no danger at all, by the time I enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory, the treasures would have long been divided finish by them. Going in for what then? Although the Dragon Sovereign Territory is an extremely perilous place, through these ten years of preparations, I believe that the various mighty exalts definitely prepared many ways of escape. The casualties definitely won''t be as high as the last time."


    Si Yin said with a grim face, "Can. But I have no way of escape that can guarantee that you come out safely!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "As for that, this Ye still have some confidence in myself. Furthermore, me representing Lord Exalt to go in, you can at least obtain some benefits, don''t you agree?"


    Si Yin wanted to refute Ye Yuan very much. But under this sort of circumstances, she completely could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan joined other people''s camp, she might not even get to drink a mouthful of soup entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit this time.


    But if she could enter that grotto, she had faith that she could obtain even greater harvests! At that time, she would be the most powerful existence among the 12 Exalts.


    Si Yin''s face revealed an extremely conflicted expression. Ye Yuan was in no hurry either, quietly waiting for Si Yin''s reply.


    In the end, Si Yin still thoroughly compromised.


    "Fine, I''ll comply with you! Swear an oath to the Absolute Kill Token then!" Si Yin said coldly.


    An Absolute Kill Token Oath was different from a Heavenly Dao Oath. It was more like a sort of contract between the exalt and their subordinates.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, swearing an oath to the Absolute Kill Token with the contents of the two people''s agreement.


    Ye Yuan sensed that a surge of baffling energy entered into his divine soul from the Absolute Kill Token.


    It was just that the moment this energy entered his divine soul, it was thoroughly wiped out by the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    Seems like after the last time, the Soul Suppressing Pearl was more automatic in doing things. This kind of bizarre energy seemed to be deemed harmful by the Soul Suppressing Pearl, so it was directly wiped out by it.


    It was just that looking from the exterior, Si Yin could not tell the slightest bit of abnormality. Her Absolute Kill Token also received the contents of the oath.


    Inside, there was Si Yin''s portion of her duties. If she violated them, she would similarly get a backlash from the Absolute Kill Token.


    Existing in the Asura Arena for so many years, probably only Ye Yuan could force an exalt to accept this sort of oath.


    "From now onwards, you''re a slaughter general under my, Si Yin''s, command! If anybody dares to cause you trouble, directly report this exalt''s name!" Si Yin said coldly.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Then many thanks, Lord Exalt! However, I still have a tiny request. I wonder if Lord Exalt can satisfy it or not?"


    Si Yin thought about it and said, "You just joined this exalt''s banners, there ought to be an introduction gift!"


    Ye Yuan took out a detailed list and handed it to Si Yin, saying, "I want to refine some medicinal pills. Since Lord Exalt is in charge of the Asura Shop, I wonder if you can help me gather up these spirit medicines?"


    "This is a small matter. There''s naturally no issue �� You �� You ��" As Si Yin said, she looked at the spirit medicines on the list at the same time, and could not help sucking in a cold breath.

 898 Weak

    In the sky of Asura City, it was a stretch of blood-red color, appearing especially sinister.


    This blood-red which filled the entire sky shone until the earth became red.


    A streak of red light beam fell from the skies, directly entering inside the Asura Arena.


    "What happened? This look, could it be that the sky is going to fall?"


    "Kicking up a fuss over nothing! This is Asura City''s freak phenomenon. It will appear once every ten years. No big deal!"


    "So that''s what it is! Scared me to death! This freak phenomenon is also a bit too scary."


    The martial artists in Asura City were replaced by new ones very quickly. But there were always some wily old foxes that have stayed in this place for a very long time.


    This sort of freak phenomenon happened once every ten years. They were already accustomed to the unusual.


    But currently, the Asura Arena''s seventh level was very lively. A large group of martial artists was gathered here. They were all the various mighty exalts'' slaughter generals who were summoned to come to come to the seventh level, and waiting to enter the Heavenly Slaughter Pit.


    The red light beam that descended from the sky actually connected straight to here.


    "Wu He, ten years ago, you lost more than half of your old life in the Heavenly Slaughter Pit. You still dare to go in this time?" A martial artist wearing black martial attire said.


    The expression of that person opposite darkened and he said with a cold snort, "Li Dao, don''t think I don''t know that you duped ten fellow companions at Blackfiend Mountain before walking out from there. I want to know, how many are you planning on scamming this time?"


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the few people behind Li Dao all changed. These words had somewhat of an ulterior motive.


    That Li Dao''s face changed and he said furiously, "Wu He, don''t go slandering people!"


    Wu He said with a cold smile, "Heh, whether it''s slandering or not, you''re aware of it yourself."


    This Wu He and Li Dao belonged to two different exalts'' camp, arguing the moment they met. The two people had the trend of going to fight at a word of disagreement.


    "Huhu, the two of you talk lesser. This Heavenly Slaughter Pit is a treasure land and also a dangerous area. Wealth and opportunity come with danger. Anything happening wouldn''t make people surprised." At this time, an old man whose hair and beard were all white spoke up to mediate.


    Indeed, the moment he spoke, Li Dao and Wu He both gave a cold snort and shut their mouths, clearly deeply fearful of him.


    "En? Someone else is coming. It''s Exalt Si Yin''s people ."


    "Heh, in these ten years, Exalt Si Yin doesn''t have any sense of existence at all. Her strength is also the weakest among the exalts. You never know, she might perish inside this time!"


    "The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is also incomparably dangerous to exalts. There would be people perishing inside virtually every time. This time, the one with the greatest likelihood is Exalt Si Yin! As long as she falls, our chance will be here."


    There was a small section of the slaughter generals whose seniority were very old; even older than exalts. Their goal was naturally to become exalts.


    Inside this Asura City, exalts were invincible existences.


    Even if among these slaughter generals, there were people whose cultivation realms were not weaker than exalts, it was also not possible to be a match for an exalt!


    Therefore, each time the Heavenly Slaughter Pit opened, it was also the time for these veterans'' thoughts to drift.


    And this time, their goal was naturally fixed on Si Yin.


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, he was locked on by several burning-hot gazes. No matter how one looked at it, these few gazes were not too friendly either.


    However, Ye Yuan stood there calmly, and could not be bothered with these gazes.


    Except, he was not finding trouble with others, but others wanted to find trouble with him.


    "Brat, you''re Ye Yuan?" The Wu He who was arguing with Li Dao previously came in front of Ye Yuan at this time.


    Ye Yuan rested with his eyes closed and did not even give a shit about this guy.


    Wu He''s tone was unfriendly. He was clearly here to find trouble. Regarding this sort of guys who were blind, Ye Yuan had always been disinclined to care.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s attitude, Wu He suddenly became greatly enraged. Pointing at Ye Yuan''s nose, he said, "Brat, you think that by not talking, you''ll be fine? Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, the Asura Arena''s rules won''t be able to protect you anymore! Since you kill Bai Meng, you''ll need to be mentally prepared to get killed!"


    This Wu He was precisely the third slaughter general under Exalt Blazing Fire''s command. And Bai Meng''s relationship with him was not shallow, but he was killed by Ye Yuan. Therefore, he hated Ye Yuan to the core.


    In the Asura Arena, the higher level could not make a move against the people below. Hence, Wu Je had no way to come find Ye Yuan.


    But this time, Ye Yuan actually became a slaughter general under Exalt Si Yin''s command. This made Wu He exceptionally excited.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Giving him a nonchalant glance, he said, "Idiot!"


    Wu He''s strength was very strong; an expert in the top 200 of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation, but was ignored by a brat who just entered the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. How could he accept this?


    "Brat, you''re courting death!" Wu He suddenly became furious and was about to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, a silhouette blocked in front of him. It was precisely the great general under Exalt Si Yin''s command, Shao Kai!


    "Wu He, are you bullying us for having no people?" Shao Kai said coldly.


    Wu He shot Shao Kai a glance and said disdainfully, "Humph! So what if bullying you? Shao Kai, you''re also someone capable at any rate, you''re actually working under afor visiting.


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization. This person was indeed too deep to fathom. He actually made Ye Yuan have a feeling of unable to figure out too.


    The 12 Exalts got into position. An apprehensive killing qi suddenly erupted and shot towards that red light beam at the same time.


    Boom!


    On the red light beam actually slowly opened up a transmission gate!


    When all the martial artists saw this situation, their faces all could not help showing looks of eagerness to have a go.


    "Alright, set off!"


    ...


    This was a blood-colored wilderness filled with desolation and bleakness, giving people a very dangerous feeling.


    "Each exalt has the coordinates of the Dragon Sovereign Territory in their hands. Three days later, we''ll meet up at the Dragon Sovereign Territory! Now, depart on your own!" Exalt Netherkill said coldly.The term used is somewhat derogatory, but not so bad until it''s like calling her a bitch. Occasionally used to ''scold'' middle-aged women.

 899 Ethereal Blood Ginseng

    Exalt Netherkill gave Ye Yuan a profound glance, and brought the subordinates under him and left.


    Exalt Blazing Fire with a head full of fire-red colored hair slowly came in front of Exalt Si Yin. Darting a glance at Ye Yuan, he cracked a wide smile and said, "Si Yin, you got to keep a close eye on your family''s little darling. This road �� isn''t too peaceful! Hahaha!"


    This was a blatant threat, provoking until all of the martial artists on Exalt Si Yin''s side scowled with furious glares.


    Bai Meng was a figure that Exalt Blazing Fire was heavily grooming in the third level. He expended considerable resources on him but was killed by Ye Yuan. This grudge was considered sowed.


    By the side, Exalt Heavenly Hedonist also looked at Si Yin with a smile that was not a smile as he said, "Si Yin, your position as an Exalt was originally in a precarious position to begin with. You actually still dared to recruit such a hot potato! Heh heh, this Heavenly Slaughter Pit trip, you got to be a little more careful."


    Si Yin''s face was cold as frost, but she did not argue.


    She also did not expect that Blazing Fire and Heavenly Hedonist would actually walk together. This trip seemed to be quite troublesome.


    "Lord Exalt, we should leave already. If we still don''t go, the treasures will all be snatched away by others." Ye Yuan''s leisurely voice transmitted over. He actually already walked out far away.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Si Yin was stunned and finally came back to her senses. She could not help being somewhat surprised. Ye Yuan got into such a big trouble, but he was actually not worried at all.


    Did this brat not care about anything, or did he have something to count on?


    "Humph! That stretch of area nearby has long been turned over countless times already. Whatever treasures there are, they have long been picked clean by people. Would it still be your turn?" Si Yin caught up to Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "That might not be so!"


    The Heavenly Slaughter Pit was huge. The area which Asura City explored was but a very small part of it.


    Heading towards the depths, the danger was very high. Even these veteran exalts also did not dare to go too deep.


    The vicinity area of a radius of ten thousand miles, these Exalts from the Asura Arena already came goodness knows how many times. It was impossible to leave behind anything.


    Right now, places that had good stuff were virtually all outside of 10 thousand miles.


    "Hey, Ye Yuan! Don''t run around. The fiendish qi in this Heavenly Slaughter Pit is extremely heavy. Even within this 10 thousand mile region, it''s very dangerous too!" Seeing Ye Yuan milling around on his own, Si Yin could not resist warning.


    This guy really made people worry.


    "Lord Exalt, what is this boy doing? The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is an ancient battlefield. There''s an abundance of evil stuff. If he anyhow runs around like this, he will screw us over!"


    "This boy is relying on that Lord Exalt has a request for him. He''s so freaking cocky!"


    "Lord Exalt, you look at that punk''s arrogant appearance, how does he look like your subordinate? Those who don''t know might even think that you''re his subordinate!"


    Si Yin''s subordinates actually had a lot of resentment towards Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan run about without a break at this time, each and every one of them started to complain.


    Si Yin''s face turned black too when she heard that. Ye Yuan''s actions truly thought too little of her.


    Along the way, they naturally had to listen to her, this Exalt, for everything. This boy running around here and there, what did it count as?


    The other exalts'' teams had already moved out goodness knows how far away, while their bunch only walked out less than 500 miles.


    At the rate of this speed, they could forget about reaching the Dragon Sovereign Territory in three day''s time.


    Being called out by her subordinates like this, Si Yin became embarrassed too. She questioned with a black face, "Ye Yuan, are you intentionally causing trouble?"


    But it was like Ye Yuan did not hear it. He still rushed around in all directions, as if he was searching for something.


    "Exalt, this brat isn''t showing you any respect at all!" When the people under her saw Si Yin lose her temper, each and every one of them could not help getting excited.


    Si Yin''s expression became increasingly uglier. Finally, her figure moved, arriving at Ye Yuan''s side.


    "Ye Yuan, this Heavenly Slaughter Pit isn''t a land for jokes. It''s fine if you''re courting death yourself, but don''t drag everybody into the water! If you carry on being like this, this exalt won''t be courteous anymore!" Si Yin said coldly.


    Ye Yuan made a shushing hand gesture at Si Yin and said softly, "Lower your voice, don''t scare the treasure away!"


    He had a secretive appearance, looking just like a huckster.


    However, in Si Yin''s view, Ye Yuan was completely impervious to reason.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re too much! If I don''t show you a little color, you really won''t show any respect to me, this exalt!" Si Yin said in a cold voice.


    Si Yin surged with killing qi. A powerful aura spread over towards Ye Yuan.


    With a whoosh, a small and exquisite figure suddenly scurried out from underground and dashed for the distance.


    Si Yin froze, the killing qi on her immediately dissipating into nothing.


    Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and shot a fierce glare at Si Yin.


    Bang!


    That little thing''s speed was extremely fast. Even Si Yin did not see clearly what that thing was. But it did not run out very far when it slammed head-on into a light screen, tumbling over with a big somersault.


    The little thing did not give up. Crawling up, it changed a direction and ran again. But it did not run far when it collided into a light screen again.


    Seeing this scene, Si Yin and all the slaughter generals were all incredibly astounded.


    They had clearly already noticed that a trapping formation was already laid down within this circumference of several hundred feet.


    This array formation was clearly set up by Ye Yuan. But when did Ye Yuan make a move, they did not perceive it at all!


    At this time, the little object was like a headless fly, dashing around randomly inside the array formation. But no matter how it ran, it could not escape the range of the array formation either.


    Before long, the little thing was finally all worn out and gave up on escaping.


    It slumped down and looked at Ye Yuan with a pitiable look.


    That appearance was adorable to the max.


    Si Yin focused her eyes to look, it was a palm-sized little child. Immediately, her maternal love overflowed, wanting to hug the little thing.


    "Hey, what are you doing?!" Si Yin was just about to make a move but was berated by Ye Yuan.


    Si Yin froze: "Don''t you see how pitiful he is? I''ll go hug him!"


    Ye Yuan shot her another glare and said crossly, "Prodigal broad who is not good enough to accomplish anything! If I didn''t have foresight, this Ethereal Blood Ginseng would have been set free by you!"


    Si Yin''s complexion turned bright red all at once. Pointing at Ye Yuan, her chest heaved up and down incessantly as she said in anger, "You! What did you say?! You actually dare to scold me �� scold me ��"


    "Humph! What are you if not a prodigal broad? Do you know how precious this Ethereal Blood Ginseng is? Do you know how great an effort I spent in this half a day''s time in order to not startle him? Let him escape, and it will be even harder than ascending to the heavens to want to find him again!" Ye Yuan said with a displeased face, totally not caring about Si Yin''s attitude.


    Si Yin was rendered speechless by Ye Yuan. She also recovered to her senses at this time. Widening her eyes, she said, "You �� You''re saying that this little child is the Tier 9 spirit medicine, Ethereal Blood Ginseng?!"


    Ye Yuan glared and said huffily, "What do you think?"


    Si Yin had nothing to say anymore. She never would have thought that within this several hundred miles radius, there would actually be a Tier 9 spirit medicine!


    "You �� Why didn''t you say earlier ��" Si Yin said weakly.

 900 Si Yin Enraged

    "Say what say? By the time I say clearly, he would have escaped long ago!" Ye Yuan said crossly.


    He circled around Si Yin and came in front of the Ethereal Blood Ginseng, and directly tapped a finger over.


    That little child suddenly fled. It actually wanted to slip away.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, "Want to run? How can it be that easy?! Lock!"


    The spell in Ye Yuan''s hands pinched, several beams of light extended out within the array formation, grabbing hold of the Ethereal Blood Ginseng that was about to escape.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and went up to jab randomly, laying down several restrictions on the Ethereal Blood Ginseng.


    The little child looked at Ye Yuan with wide glaring eyes and unspeakable resentment in its gaze.


    "Heh heh, don''t look at me like this! Following your Grandpa Ye in the future, I won''t treat you shabbily!"


    Ye Yuan laughed merrily and directly threw the Ethereal Blood Ginseng into the storage ring.


    Even with Ye Yuan''s eyesight, he regarded this Ethereal Blood Ginseng as a treasure. It could be seen how valuable he was.


    Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan with an unfriendly face and said with a cold smile, "You''re really not polite!"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Just a Tier 9 spirit medicine, I won''t be courteous with Lord Exalt."


    "You really take this Exalt to not know anything? The Ethereal Blood Ginseng''s predecessor is a Polar Region Blood Ginseng. The conditions to take form are extremely harsh! Firstly, a Polar Region Blood Ginseng requires over 10 thousand years of martial artists'' fresh blood to nourish before it can initially take form. And when a Polar Region Blood Ginseng evolves to an Ethereal Blood Ginseng, the conditions are even harsher to the extreme. An item like this, you dare to pocket it alone?" Si Yin said icily.


    Although she was astounded by Ye Yuan''s ability, this Ethereal Blood Ginseng was too valuable. She did not plan on giving up.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Ethereal Blood Ginseng landing in Exalt''s hands, that''s covering a bright pearl in dust. But in my hands, he can unleash a heaven-defying effect! How about this, when I use him to refine medicinal pills, I''ll allocate you one!"


    Si Yin was just thinking of refuting, but she suddenly recalled those medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out at that time, and could not help hesitating a little.


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan''s alchemy strength was incomparably heaven-defying!


    If it was really as Ye Yuan said, the Ethereal Blood Ginseng was indeed much more useful in his hands compared to in her hands.


    "Fine! You swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, and I won''t pursue this matter anymore!" Si Yin thought about it and made up her mind.


    Ye Yuan nodded and swore a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot before this matter was considered settled. Everyone set off on the journey once more.


    Those slaughter generals who were scolding Ye Yuan prior to this all kept their mouths shut sensibly at this time.


    For 30 thousand years, this 10 thousand mile region had long been scoured countless times over. It was totally not possible to find any treasures. Yet, this boy actually found such a heaven-defying spirit medicine in less than half a day. What else could they still say?


    This Ethereal Blood Ginseng already took human form. His intelligence was extremely high. This was also the reason why he could avoid these countless batches of people''s searching.


    But no matter how clever he was, he could not escape Ye Yuan''s ''demonic clutches'' either.


    Later on, whatever bizarre behavior Ye Yuan had, they all sensibly did not speak by the sides anymore.


    You have got to be kidding. Wasn''t saying any more smacking their own mouths?


    Reality proved that they were right to shut their mouths. Along the way, Ye Yuan really found quite a number of good stuff.


    Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan''s bustling about back view, her gaze revealing a complicated look.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    How in the world did this guy discover these hidden spirit medicines?


    Little did they know that Ye Yuan was actually endlessly depressed right now. He was missing White Light. If White Light was here, apart from spirit medicines, he could probably find even more good stuff.


    ...


    Three days later, Ye Yuan''s party finally arrived outside the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Except, they were the last group.


    The other exalts had been waiting here long ago.


    "Heh, Si Yin, your attitude is so haughty! To actually make Netherkill, Coldblood, these few elder brothers, wait for the greater part of a day! Don''t you know that your group of people already overshot the time?" Blazing Fire said with a cold smile.


    Si Yin''s expression changed when she heard that. This fellow had malicious motives. It was the intention of sowing dissension!


    "Huhu, finally managed to take a trip inside, we naturally got to be a little more attentive on the way. If there are any fine treasures, what a waste it would be to miss it," Si Yin had yet to open her mouth, but Ye Yuan spoke up.


    Wu He smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "What a joke! Inside this 10 thousand mile region, what treasures are there still? Moreover, with just the likes of you, what treasures can you obtain? In my view, you guys are deliberately not giving face to Exalt Netherkill they all, and were late on purpose!"


    These two people sang in chorus. They were clearly sowing discord.


    Netherkill did not say anything, but Coldblood was somewhat unhappy and spoke up, "Younger Sister Si Yin, we only have half a year''s time. Every second is very valuable. Everybody agreed on a time, but you were late. Not giving a reason, isn''t it somewhat unjustifiable?"


    Si Yin also understood that this Coldblood was still finding trouble for the matter of vying for Ye Yuan the last time, that was why he intentionally dropped a rock down the well.


    Exalt Coldblood was the most insidious among the 12 Exalts. Other people were all very scared of him.


    These few years, he had swindled who knows how many Exalts inside this Heavenly Slaughter Pit.


    It was just that being targeted at by so many people, Si Yin became enraged at all once.


    "Elder Brother Coldblood wants a reason, right? I''ll give you a reason right away!"


    Finished talking, Si Yin extended a hand and drew a line. Over ten stalks of spirit medicines were propped up by essence energy, suspending in midair.


    Seeing this scene, even Exalt Netherkill''s imposing momentum also choked up slightly, let alone the rest.


    Especially Blazing Fire''s and Wu He''s faces, they turned burning red.


    These ten over stalks of spirit medicines, the vast majority were all Tier 9 spirit medicines that were extremely hard to see in the outside world. Furthermore, thick sinister qi faintly emitted from within the spirit medicines. They clearly came from inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit.


    Don''t look at how Si Yin took out so many in one breath, Tier 9 spirit medicines were not that easy to find.


    The value of one stalk of Tier 9 spirit medicine was even more valuable than a thousand strains of Tier 8 spirit medicines. More importantly, Tier 9 spirit medicines could not be seen everywhere. Each stalk was incomparably precious.


    The moment Si Yin made a move, even those Exalts lost composure.


    But they did not know that the spirit medicines Ye Yuan found were more than just this.


    "We entered this Heavenly Slaughter Pit in order to hunt for treasures. This Exalt can''t disregard all of these spirit medicines when I see them, right? While everybody agreed to gather here, I also never said that I must go in together with everybody! If Elder Brothers can''t wait, just feel free to enter yourselves!" Si Yin was clearly really enraged and said coldly.


    When Coldblood saw the situation, he could not help coughing dryly twice. But his eyes revealed a heated look as he said, "Cough cough, Young Sister Si Yin was mistaken. We didn''t mean that. These spirit medicines �� were all obtained by you guys on the way?"


    The 12 Exalts appeared united outwardly but were actually divided. The relationships between each other were very complicated. But there was one point, there was no way they would make a move to snatch stuff in front of others. Otherwise, they would become the common enemy of the rest.


    As for privately, nobody knew the answer either.


    "Elder Brother Coldblood must really be joking. Could it be that I added the fiendish qi on these spirit medicines myself?" Si Yin said coldly.


    The Netherkill who did not speak the entire time voiced out at this time: "Alright, since Younger Sister Si Yin obtained treasures on the way, it''s naturally justifiable. This matter brooks no delay, we''d better enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory first."

 901 Air Bubble

    Before their eyes was a massive stone gate. Engraved on the stone gate was an enormous dragon.


    The gigantic dragon exuded an archaic aura that had seen the many vicissitudes of life. Even if it had been through countless years of baptism, this pressure made everyone''s heart turned cold too.


    There was a pond that was not large beside the stone gate. The pond''s water was an emerald green color.


    "Lu Li, you go first."


    Exalt Heavenly Hedonist opened his mouth. A slaughter general under him fell out of the ranks and came beside the pond.


    Lu Li bit his finger. A drop of fresh blood dripped into the pond and faded away very quickly.


    Gurgle ��


    The pond started to emit some azure-colored air bubbles. Counting it, it was merely just four or five of them.


    One of the air bubbles flew in front of Lu Li. Right at the instant, it touched his body, the air bubble did not pop. It started to spread toward his entire body, forming a pale-azure light barrier!


    Lu Li waved using his hand. The other air bubbles flew towards Exalt Heavenly Hedonist and the other slaughter generals.


    Finally, including Lu Li inside, there were four people who obtained this light shield.


    Seeing this miraculous sight, Ye Yuan could not help clicking his tongue in marvel too.


    Shao Kai moved close to his ear and said softly, "Inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory has an extremely formidable killing array. One must have this light shield in order to not get obliterated by the grand array. But this Lu Li''s dragon race bloodline doesn''t seem to be very strong. He only summoned four light shields."


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of realization. No wonder the Exalts were all finding people with dragon race bloodline. Turns out that it was actually this reason.


    After Lu Li, there were another two dragon race bloodline martial artists who were called forward. But their bloodline density all did not seem to be very high. The one with the most merely summoned six air bubbles.


    The air bubbles that these three people summoned were too little. They could not even cover their own camp''s people, let alone talk about the other exalts'' camps.


    "Tch �� This degree of dragon race bloodline also dares to come out and display your inadequacy! Really not afraid of embarrassing yourselves!"


    A youth fell out of the ranks. Looking at him, he should be under Exalt Graypupil''s command.


    Lu Li and the other two people''s faces turned black. They said unhappily, "Long Yang, aren''t you just relying on that you''re the Sky Long Ridge''s junior? What''s there to be arrogant about?!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Long Yang shot them an indifferent glance and said scornfully, "I''m relying on that I''m a junior of the Sky Long Ridge. Bite me then. If you guys have the capabilities, bring a few more people in!"


    This Long Yang was very arrogant and also felt quite proud of his background.


    When Ye Yuan heard Sky Long Ridge this name, he slightly revealed a surprised expression too.


    The Sky Long Ridge family were the successors of true dragon bloodline. They had countless intricate ties with the Demon Region''s dragon clan and were also a Rank One Holy Land with exceedingly powerful strength.


    It was just that because the Long Family violated the dragon clan''s taboo, so they did not dare to take the surname ''Long.'' The entire clan could only change the surname to Long.


    Of course, this point was similarly the Long family members'' taboo. If anyone were to mention this point, it was embarrassing them.


    Although Lu Li and the others were unhappy with Long Yang''s arrogance, they had no choice but to admit that the power of his bloodline was completely not what they were able to match. They could only keep their mouths shut and not talk.


    Long Yang smiled even more smugly when he saw the three people shut up. Swaggering over to the side of the pond, he dripped in a drop of fresh blood.


    Gurgle ��


    The pond started to boil over very soon. All of a sudden, several dozen air bubbles surfaced!


    Long Yang put on a light shield himself first, then controlled the air bubbles to envelope all of the slaughter generals under Exalt Graypupil''s command. Even so, there were still ten extra air bubbles.


    It was just that the faces of the other camps'' martial artists all showed an expression of regret. They came here hoping for Long Yang to be able to bring them inside.


    But now, ten spots was not enough to share!


    "Heh heh, there are still ten spots. Who else wants to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory? I''ll say it first. You must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that upon discovering treasures after going in, you must let me pick one first!" Long Yang said smugly.


    Counting in Ye Yuan, there was a total of just five Exalts with dragon race bloodline martial artists too. Which was also to say that there were still seven Exalts without slaughter generals able to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    One could tell from the Exalts'' attitudes that inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory probably had quite a number of good stuff. Otherwise, these slaughter generals would not take such a huge risk to enter.


    Except, if they wanted to go in, it would not do without the support of the light shield. The current Long Yang was undoubtedly hiking prices on the spot.


    At this present moment in time, dragon blood martial artists were clearly very high-in-demand. Because blood could only be dripped once. Dripping anymore was useless. Furthermore, the air bubbles surfaced from the pond could only be allocated by dragon blood martial artists. Therefore, each spot appeared even more valuable.


    "Humph! Long Yang, what are you being smug for?! Your light shields are valuable, but there''s still a dragon blood martial artist who hasn''t drip his blood yet!" Lu Li had an unhappy look as he voiced out.


    With Lu Li saying this, everyone''s eyes all focused on Ye Yuan in unison.


    Long Yang laughed loudly as he said, "What a joke! In terms of dragon race bloodline strength, who can compare to our Long Family''s members in the human territories? Lu Li, since you say so, looks like you guys don''t need these ten spots? Mmm �� It seems like everybody doesn''t care for these ten spots. In that case, I''ll destroy them!"


    Long Yang assumed a posture like he was going to make a move. The other slaughter generals could not hold back anymore, and someone hurriedly spoke up, "Brother Long mustn''t act on impulse! Isn''t it just one treasure? I''ll give you!"


    The one who spoke was precisely Wu He. Exalt Blazing Fire did not have dragon blood martial artists under his command. If Wu He wanted to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory, he must agree to Long Yang''s condition.


    Just ten spots, first come first serve. Furthermore, Wu He and Ye Yuan were mortal enemies. It was also not possible to go to Ye Yuan there to beg.


    "Haha, it''s still Brother Wu who is wise!" Long Yang gave a loud laugh and said.


    Wu He swore a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot and Long Yang controlled the air bubble to wrap Wu He up.


    With Wu He moving, the other Exalts could not sit still anymore as well. Even Exalt Netherkill opened his mouth and asked for a spot too.


    Ten quotas were divided clean very quickly.


    "Haha, everybody all done dividing? Then I''ll help myself!" Ye Yuan laughed carelessly and came onto the shore of the pond.


    Long Yang''s face revealed a disdainful look. He knew that Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline was not weak, but to say that it surpassed his, that was something impossible.


    Ye Yuan bit his finger and squeezed out a drop of fresh blood like squeezing toothpaste.


    Drip!


    The blood merged into the azure-colored pond.


    One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed ��


    The pond had no reaction at all!


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, are you here to play the fool? Are you sure that what''s inside your body is true dragon bloodline? This pond water actually doesn''t have any reaction at all!" Wu He burst into laughter when he saw the situation and said.


    Long Yang had a contemptuous look too as he said, "Such faint bloodline actually dare to come out and make a spectacle of yourself too! Your dragon race martial technique wouldn''t all be imitated using essence energy, right?"


    Si Yin''s expression was also very ugly. She had secretly observed his previous battle. That was absolutely true dragon strength. But why would the pond water not have any reaction at all?


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all. A smile still hung on his face.


    Gurgle �� Gurgle ��


    Just as everyone was mocking Ye Yuan, the pond finally had a reaction.


    Seeing this reaction, everyone''s faces revealed a look of disbelief.The ''Long'' with punctuation is dragon ��, while the Long Family, is this Long ¤. Different pronunciation.

 902 Just This Price!

    "Haha, sorry about that, accidentally �� made too much," Ye Yuan said with a cheerful chuckle.


    Although he said he was sorry about it, the expression on his face did not seem to have any hint of embarrassment at all.


    Currently, the pond water was like it was being heated, the whole pool was boiling over.


    Air bubbles continuously surfaced, one after another. In a wink, what was in front of everyone were totally blocked by air bubbles.


    "Hiss ��"


    All of the slaughter generals could not help sucking in a cold breath, being struck dumbfounded by this scene before their eyes.


    "Hahaha! What a colossal joke! Long Yang, what did you say just now? If you have the capabilities, say it one more time! In the human territories, your Long Family''s dragon race bloodline is number one? This joke is really hilarious to the max!" Lu Li was the first to come back to his senses, his gaze looking at Long Yang was filled with ridicule.


    Long Yang''s overweeningly arrogant appearance, Lu Li really had enough of it!


    Now, Ye Yuan popping out, this face of Long Yang was really slapped resoundingly loud. Lu Li was simply elated to the extreme in his heart!


    "This �� This is also too fake, right? What kind of level does that brat''s dragon race bloodline have to reach to be able to summon out so many air bubbles?"


    "Too inconceivable! The Long Family''s bloodline is simply a joke in front of Ye Yuan!"


    "You guys, look. So many air bubbles coming out all of a sudden, the color of the pond water even became very faint!""


    Seeing this scene, everyone was all unbelievably shocked.


    It was all air bubbles flying everywhere in front of their eyes. Let alone fitting everyone inside, even if another few more groups of people came, there was no problem at all.


    The supply of air bubbles which originally fell short of demand actually had a surplus at this time!


    It was just that even though there were excess air bubbles, for whom to use was grasped in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Exalt Zhuo Yan slowly came in front of Ye Yuan and opened his mouth to say, "Ye Yuan, I heard that Demon King''s relationship with you is not bad. I wonder if you can share with us some on account of his face? Don''t worry, if there are any gains this trip, it naturally won''t miss out your share!"


    Everyone was all unbelievably shocked. A dignified Exalt actually deigned himself to beg a puny little slaughter general!


    But under the current circumstances, what better options were there?


    Having a holier-than-thou attitude, one would have to say goodbye to the treasures inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    Although this Heavenly Slaughter Pit still had many buried treasure lands, in these ten years, what everyone prepared for the most was still the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    Going to other places added much more dangers without basis.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan laughed and said very generously, "That''s of course not an issue! Let your slaughter generals all stand over here. I''ll add the protective shell for them!"


    On account of Nalan Chu''s face, Ye Yuan naturally would not say anything. He directly put on the protective shells for Exalt Zhuo Yan''s slaughter generals. As for Exalt Zhuo Yan''s promise, he did not even make the other party swear a Heavenly Dao Oath.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Looking at him, he seemed very easy-going.


    Ye Yuan did not idle either, putting on a protective shell for himself and also suiting Exalt Si Yin''s other slaughter generals with the protective shields too.


    Si Yin''s beautiful eyes swiveled around, looking at Ye Yuan with a bright grin.


    She also did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually call out so many air bubbles. This time, it gained a lot of face for her.


    Several other Exalts who did not have a conflict with Ye Yuan could not sit still anymore at this time either. Each and every one of them came before Ye Yuan to ask for air bubbles.


    These few Exalts'' attitudes were similarly placed very low. But Ye Yuan did not squeeze them about anything either and directly put it on for their slaughter generals.


    Even apart from those two dragon blood martial artists'' camps excluding Lu Li, Ye Yuan supplemented their shortfall too.


    With this, apart from Exalt Blazing Fire, Exalt Heavenly Hedonist, and Exalt Coldblood, the other Exalts all obtained the qualifications to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    These three Exalts'' faces were all not looking too good. They had a feeling of being caught in the horns of a dilemma right now.


    Begging Ye Yuan, they could not demean themselves. Not begging, they basically had to say goodbye to the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    The other Exalts were all entering in full force, while they only had several people. Wasn''t entering still going to prepare a wedding gown for other people?


    Finally, Exalt Coldblood could not resist speaking up.


    "Hey, Ye Yuan, actually �� this Exalt wasn''t targeting you and Younger Sister Si Yin previously. You''re also aware, this Exalt was in urgent need of talents at that time and wanting to solicit you to join under my command, right?" Coldblood put on a smiling face and said.


    Although a smile was hanging on his face, Coldblood''s intestines were actually almost green with regret already.


    If he had long known that it would be like this, why would he need to waste his breath previously targeting Si Yin and Ye Yuan?


    Coldblood was originally the most insidious existence among the Exalts. This sort of face-changing cheap trick could be said to be accomplished with high proficiency to him.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Not at all, not at all. Exalt Coldblood being the big brother among the exalts, some words that should be said still needs to be said!"


    When Coldblood saw that Ye Yuan was playing along, he could not help being delighted inwardly as he said, "Then �� these air bubbles, can you share some with us? Of course, I won''t let you do it for free."


    "Easily arranged! This isn''t something of a big deal! However, I don''t want the treasures after going in either. Just right now then. A fixed price, 100 heaven essence crystals per person! I think it''s not considered expensive, right?" Ye Yuan said.


    Heaven essence crystals, even in the Divine Realm, was extremely rare too. The purity of the essence energy contained inside heaven essence crystals was extremely high. Basically, only Dao Profound Realm powerhouses would use them to carry out cultivation or transactions.


    And one heaven essence crystal was sufficient to exchange for 100 million earth essence crystals! 100 heaven essence crystals were 10 billion earth essence crystals!


    Of course, under normal circumstances, there would not be anyone silly enough to use heaven essence crystals to go exchange for earth essence crystals.


    Even the corners of Exalt Coldblood''s mouth involuntarily twitched when he heard this price too.


    He, as a veteran Exalt, the slaughter generals under him reached over 50 people; each of their strength was formidable.


    If he were to send them all in, he would probably be reduced to bankruptcy.


    Coldblood gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I''ll send ten people in!"


    Ye Yuan also did not think that Exalt Coldblood actually agreed to it without even negotiating the prices.


    Of course, he was also aware that Exalt Coldblood probably already hated him to death in his heart.


    Ten people were 1000 heaven essence crystals. Even for Dao Profound Realm powerhouses, this was a sum of significant expenditure too.


    Of course, if he was lucky, Coldblood could definitely earn this 1000 heaven essence crystals back this trip.


    Done with the transaction, Ye Yuan put on the air bubbles for the ten slaughter generals that Exalt Coldblood picked out. Plus the one protective shield acquired from Long Yang''s hands previously, Exalt Coldblood had a total of 11 people entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time.


    "Looks like there should be nobody else who needs the air bubbles, right? I''ll make them return to their original spot right now!" Ye Yuan said finish and was about to make a move.


    Blazing Fire panicked, and he hurriedly said, "Hang on!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Exalt Blazing Fire with a smile that was not a smile, and had indescribable amusement: "Why? Does Exalt Blazing Fire still have something?"


    Blazing Fire said with a scowl, "100 heaven essence crystals per person, I''m buying 10 spots too!"


    "I want six!" Exalt Heavenly Hedonist also could not resist speaking up.


    Ye Yuan grinned widely and said, "100 heaven essence crystals? When did I say that it was 100 heaven essence crystals? The two of you want to buy, sure. But �� 500 heaven essence crystals per person! Don''t look at me with this sort of expression. Just this price, your call to buy or not!"

 903 Not Keeping You Company

    Puff, puff, puff ��


    Ye Yuan casually waved his hand. Those air bubbles emitted faint popping sounds and dissipated along with the wind.


    When Heavenly Hedonist and Blazing Fire, the two Exalts, saw that Ye Yuan was really going to destroy these air bubbles, their faces could not help changing drastically.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re sure that you want to lose all decorum with the two of us?" Blazing Fire said with a grim face.


    "Whoa, threatening me?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand again. The speed of the air bubbles popping became even faster.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Heavenly Hedonist hurriedly said, "Hold your horses! 500 then! I''ll buy six!"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Heh heh, it''s still Exalt Heavenly Hedonist who is wise. The money in one hand, the goods in the other."


    Heavenly Hedonist fished out 3000 heaven essence crystals with a pained look and finally acquired six air bubbles.


    Blazing Fire''s expression was ugly to the max. But facing Ye Yuan, he was completely powerless.


    "Such a large appetite, be careful you don''t get stuffed until you burst!"


    Finally, Blazing Fire still pulled out 5000 heaven essence crystals extremely unwillingly.


    "My, Little Lord''s, appetite, has always been excellent. I can digest it," Ye Yuan received the heaven essence crystals with a broad smile and said smugly.


    When the Exalt Coldblood by the side saw this scene, he secretly chuckled to himself inwardly. In contrast, his ten spots were too worth it.


    But he also knew that Exalt Blazing Fire would not let Ye Yuan off. He would definitely instruct his subordinates to dispose of Ye Yuan within the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    What Ye Yuan devoured, he would still have to vomit back out in the end.


    Exalt Coldblood was not some saint. Regarding this sort of situation, he did not mind dropping a rock down the well.


    All preparations in order, the group of slaughter generals were finally going to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    Exalt Netherkill fired out a blast of essence energy at the stone gate. The enormous dragon on the stone gate became bright.


    Creak.


    The stone gate slowly opened. A dark corridor appeared in front of the people.


    "Go!"


    The group of slaughter generals lined up in a single file and entered the passageway.


    "Ye Yuan, in a while, be more careful. Wu He they all probably won''t let you off. Although their people that entered are few, they are all elites. We''re far from being a match," Shao Kai reminded him.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he heard that and said, "If he doesn''t come looking for trouble with me, he can still live a while longer. If he''s seeking death himself, nobody can stop it."


    Shao Kai was stupefied. He did not understand where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    Ye Yuan had merely just entered the Heaven Carnage Proclamation and was too far away from these slaughter generals'' strength.


    "Best to be a little more careful! After this passageway, inside will be very dangerous. Those corpse guards are extremely hard to tangle with. Want to obtain the treasures inside, one must first deal with those corpse guards," Shao Kai said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, indicating that he got it.


    He also heard before that inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory had many corpse guards. These corpse guards were undying and indestructible. Their fleshy bodies were incomparably powerful, very troublesome.


    Very soon, everyone walked to the end of the passageway. A large hall appeared in front of everyone.


    "Everyone, be more careful. When those corpse guards smell the scent of living people, they will attack over very soon."


    Everyone each drew their weapons and advanced forward cautiously.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One black shadow after another dashed out and surrounded everyone very quickly.


    The number of corpse guards was extremely high. They immediately clashed together with all the slaughter generals.


    These slaughter generals, many were experts ranked to the front of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. Each and every one of their strength was very formidable.


    Especially those few who were charging to the front, they struck down several corpse guards the moment they made a move.


    Although these corpse guards were strong, they did not reach the level of Tier 9 either. Those Heaven Carnage Proclamation powerhouse ranked to the front were basically all peak Phaseless Realm strength. Dealing with these corpse guards was naturally nothing difficult.


    Even so, casualties appeared very soon too.


    "Ye Yuan, you follow behind me! Be careful yourself!" Shao Kai said.


    The mission Si Yin gave to him was to protect Ye Yuan. Because Ye Yuan was too important to her.


    Shao Kai was just about to charge forward to fight at close quarters with the corpse guards when Ye Yuan patted his shoulder from behind.


    "These corpse guards, leave it to them to deal with it. Let''s go in and search for treasures first." Ye Yuan said with a slight smile.


    Shao Kai said, "Are you joking?! There are corpse guards everywhere, how do we go in?"


    Ye Yuan fished out a bag of white powder and passed it to Shao Kai, saying, "Sprinkle it on our people. With it, the corpse guards won''t attack us."


    As he said, Ye Yuan grabbed a handful himself and sprinkled it on his own body. After that, he walked into the corpse guard horde with a swagger.


    Shao Kai opened his eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Those corpse guards were actually all like they could not see Ye Yuan, all bypassing around him.


    Shao Kai reacted very quickly and scattered the powder on his body. Then he scattered it over each person on their side.


    "Ye Yuan, this �� Just what thing is this powder? Why is it so magical?" Shao Kai asked in disbelief.


    The gazes the other slaughter generals looked at Ye Yuan with were filled with worship. Other people were all fighting all out over there, but their ten over people were actually taking big strutting steps in the corpse guard horde. This was too magical.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This is called Corpse Powder. After sprinkling it on, our bodies will emit a smell the same as corpses. Those corpses search for targets through the smell of living people. We sprinkled Corpse Powder on our bodies, they will think that we''re the same species and naturally won''t attack us."


    Shao Kai was dazed when he heard. Raising a thumbs up, he praised in admiration, "These corpse guards are extremely troublesome. I heard that the people who entered here the last time, there were half of them who died here. I didn''t expect that we don''t even need to fight."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Fighting and killing this sort of thing, better let other people go and do it."


    Since Ye Yuan wanted to enter this Dragon Sovereign Territory, he naturally had to inquire clearly about the situation inside here. Hence, before this, he already made a lot of preparations in advance.


    "Ye Yuan, you guys dare to go in first?! I''ll kill you!" Wu He discovered their group of people''s abnormal situation and could not refrain from snarling.


    However, he could only just yell. He was surrounded by three to four corpse guards himself and was completely unable to extricate himself.


    It was just that when he saw that those corpse guards actually did not even attack Ye Yuan, he was rather unhappy in his heart.


    But with Wu He yelling like this, everyone all startled awake and looked at Ye Yuan''s group of people in astonishment.


    "Shao Kai, if you all dare to go in first, you''ll be everybody''s common enemy!"


    "Ye Yuan, you''ll die a horrible death!"


    When everyone saw this scene, they were envious and also afraid that Ye Yuan they all would seize the good stuff when they enter first, and could only use this kind of method to threaten.


    It was just that their threats, Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    Ye Yuan turned around and said with a smile, "Everybody, warm up your bodies first. We''ll go in and be the vanguard for you guys. Haha, fighting this sort of thing, this Ye won''t keep you company!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan slowly carried on walking inside.


    "Ye Yuan, you best pray that you don''t land in my hands! Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!" Wu He roared.


    Except, Ye Yuan already walked far away at this time and was utterly disinclined to bother with him.


    Battle cries shook the heavens inside the great hall. Although those slaughter generals'' strengths were very strong, wanting to charge out of the encirclement in a short time was not manageable. They could only watch Ye Yuan and the others entered inside helplessly.

 904 Incense Burner

    Passing through the great hall, no more corpse guards appeared again.


    At the back of the great hall was a side-hall. Ye Yuan brought everyone into the side-hall.


    However, inside the side-hall was empty. There was no good stuff at all.


    "The last time, they definitely had someone who came in here. Whatever things there were, was also taken away by them."


    "There''s nothing nice to look at here. We''d better hurry on to other places. Otherwise, when they rush over, it will have nothing to do with us anymore."


    While talking, everyone was about to leave.


    Shao Kai was just about to leave but discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking everywhere and did not have the intention of leaving.


    "Ye Yuan, come on, this place should have long been cleaned out by them. Nothing good to look at," Shao Kai said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "That might not be so!"


    "En? Could it be that �� you have some discovery?" Shao Kai could not help sizing up this side-hall once more. But he still did not discover anything of value.


    The side-hall was not large and could be swept with one glance. There was no way to miss anything.


    Ye Yuan slowly came to an incense burner table at a corner of the side-hall and picked up the incense burner placed on it.


    This incense burner was damaged and old, looking not at all conspicuous. No matter who looked over, they would not think that it was a treasure either.


    "This incense burner doesn''t have the slightest trace of undulation. It''s impossible to be a treasure," Shao Kai said.


    "Is that so?"


    Ye Yuan smiled. Grabbing a handful of incense ash from inside the incense burner, he passed it to Shao Kai and said, "Eat it!"


    Shao Kai''s expression was ugly as he said, "How to eat this thing? Ye Yuan, you aren''t joking, right?"


    Ye Yuan said, "This is the incense ash of Heavenly Longevity Incense. Eating this handful of incense ash can let you extend your longevity by 500 years! If you''re not eating, I''ll save it for myself."


    "5-500 years?" Shao Kai opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief.


    One had to know, the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill which Ye Yuan made the Soul Martial Divine King take action to refine merely extended longevity for 300 years. This handful of incense ash could actually extend longevity for 500 years. How heaven-defying was that?


    If other people said this sort of thing, Shao Kai definitely would not believe. But Ye Yuan was different. Shao Kai had seen before many miracles on him.


    The credibility of Ye Yuan''s words was extremely high!


    "Heavenly Longevity Incense is an ancient formula. It has already been lost presently. This furnace of incense ash is worth several cities. You''re �� really not going to eat it?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "I''ll eat! I''ll eat!" Shao Kai carefully received the incense ash in Ye Yuan''s hand and swallowed it down in one mouthful.


    What made him surprised was that this incense ash actually melted in his mouth. Furthermore, it even had a hint of sweetness. It was not disgusting at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Very soon, a pleasurable sensation went from the bottom of his sole straight to the top of his head, making him have a feeling of remolding himself anew. His face actually became many years younger all at once.


    "This �� This is really too magical! This incense ash actually really has the function of extending longevity!"


    Sensing his vigorous life force, Shao Kai was exceedingly agitated.


    "Big Brother Shao, is it really that amazing?" Another slaughter general could not sit still anymore when he saw Shao Kai''s astonishing transformation.


    He was embarrassed to ask Ye Yuan and could only use this sort of words to approach the subject in a roundabout manner.


    After all, the treasure was found by Ye Yuan. How to distribute was Ye Yuan''s matter.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need to worry. Everybody has a share."


    When everyone heard it, they could not help being exceptionally thrilled.


    Although there was a portion of the people among them whose age was not old, nobody would complain about living longer either. To be able to extend longevity by 500 years, this was a tremendous lucky chance!


    One had to know that 500 year''s time was sufficient for them to do anything.


    Furthermore, the body becoming younger, their chances of breaking through would also become greater.


    Ye Yuan was not stingy in the slightest, distributing to each person a portion of the Heavenly Longevity Incense''s incense ash.


    Either way, there was a furnace full of incense ash. He did not mind at all.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not tell them that actually, this incense burner was the most valuable treasure!


    Other people could not recognize, but Ye Yuan knew the origins of this incense burner.


    As the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most alchemist, Ye Yuan had extremely deep research into medicinal cauldrons.


    In the ancient era, the dragon clan had once produced an extremely gifted alchemist before. That dragon race alchemist later affirmed his Dao to become an Alchemy God.


    And the medicinal cauldron he used before becoming an Alchemy God was called the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron had a distinguishing trait, that was that each refinement would require one to drip in a drop of dragon blood before it could activate the medicinal cauldron''s power.


    And after refining, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron would become a tiny little incense burner.


    This tiny little incense burner in Ye Yuan''s hand was precisely the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron!


    This Dragon Sovereign Cauldron, legends said that it was continuously sanctified by that alchemist, reaching the stage of top-grade holy artifact. But due to material quality issues, that alchemist ultimately still did not sanctify it to become a divine artifact.


    Even so, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron was also a first-rate medicinal cauldron.


    Ye Yuan never thought that he could actually acquire the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron in this place. The guys who came in the past plundered this place all around, but they left behind the most valuable thing.


    But apart from Ye Yuan, one really could not find more than a few people able to recognize the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and Heavenly Longevity Incense in the Divine Realm.


    Ye Yuan put away the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron without batting an eyelid, and the rest were also still immersed in the joy of extending their longevity.


    As for the Heavenly Longevity Incense''s incense ash, Ye Yuan planned on researching it properly later on, to see if he could restore the formula or not.


    This formula was exceedingly valuable.


    Going out from the side-hall, it was a stretch of open area. Not walking far, a road appeared in front of everyone.


    A stone tablet was erected at the roadside. On the stone tablet, there were three words: ''Yellow Springs Road!''


    "Ye Yuan, this ��" Shao Kai''s expression was solemn as he said.


    Just hearing this name, this road was not that easy to cross.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "There are many ancient array formations on this road. It''s probably not that easy to cross."


    Right at this time, a large group of people suddenly scurried out from behind. It was precisely all the people who were trapped by the corpse guards.


    Ye Yuan''s party had delayed some time in the side-hall. It was precisely this period of time that allowed those people to breach the corpse guards'' blockade.


    "Hahaha! Ye Yuan, this time, I see where you can still run to! This time, let''s settle the old scores and new ones together!" Wu He''s impudent voice sounded out, and he arrived in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    The rest of the people also looked at Ye Yuan with unfriendly expressions. Very clearly, leaving on their own made all of the people very displeased with them.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over and discovered that quite a number of people probably perished inside the great hall.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re too much! This time, nobody can save you!" Even Mo Shang voiced out too.


    Ye Yuan''s actions prior to this actually incurred the wrath of everyone.


    Everyone surrounded Ye Yuan''s group in the center all at once. They were actually planning on catching the whole lot at once.


    At this time, Wu He suddenly noticed Shao Kai''s transformation and questioned, "Shao Kai, what good stuff did you guys obtain? Why do you seem to be much younger all of a sudden?!"


    Wu He''s words startled everyone.


    They looked towards Si Yin''s lot and discovered that each and every one of them was substantially younger, and could not help being incomparably astonished.


    Without a doubt, during this period of the time that both sides separated, Ye Yuan''s group obtained some incredible thing.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It''s also nothing much. I just obtained some Heavenly Longevity Incense''s ashes and let Shao Kai they all extend their longevity by 500 years, that''s all."Yellow Springs Road is the road that souls pass through after dying to go to King Yama''s place to get judged.

 905 Battered to Death in One Palm

    "Extend longevity by 500 years!"


    The moment Ye Yuan said these words, everyone drew a cold breath of air. Their eyes revealed an incomparably scorching look.


    "Ye Yuan, if you''re sensible, surrender the treasure! Otherwise, I''ll make you die a horrible death!" Wu He said sternly.


    Another person said, "Ye Yuan, I can give you an opportunity. As long as you surrender the treasure to me, I can ensure your safety! With me around, nobody will dare to touch you!"


    This person''s name was called Zhong Wubing, the number one slaughter general under Exalt Netherkill''s command. His strength was unfathomable.


    When Wu He heard that, his expression changed. But he did not make a sound tactfully.


    In front of Zhong Wubing, he still did not have the capital to pick a quarrel.


    Ye Yuan suddenly burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Looking at your appearances, each and every one of you are certain that you''ve cornered this Little Lord, right?"


    Zhong Wubing said with any joy nor sorrow, "Could it be that until now, you''re still hoping to get lucky?"


    "You guys go find your treasures and not come to provoke this little lord, and you all can still live for a little longer. Yet, you all don''t open your eyes and seek death. I can do nothing about it either," Ye Yuan said with a helpless look.


    Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain where Ye Yuan''s sense of superiority came from.


    This place had as many experts as clouds. Someone like Zhong Wubing was even at the top of the list on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. What right did Ye Yuan have to raise a hue here?


    Could it be that this brat lost his mind?


    "Conceited and arrogant! Wu He, your matters, I won''t intervene. As for the treasure, you know it," Zhong Wubing said coolly.


    Wu He was secretly delighted. Zhong Wubing''s meaning was to split the treasure equally.


    But he also knew that that Heavenly Longevity Incense''s effect was only one time too. Consuming again definitely would not have an effect anymore.


    "Heh, rest assured, Boss Zhong, this Wu naturally understands!"


    Wu He had a look like he had cornered Ye Yuan. He said smugly, "Brat, I told you long ago, don''t land in my hands. But you refused to listen! Today, I''ll let you have a taste of this Wu''s methods!"


    Shao Kai''s expression fell, but he blocked in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Wu He, want to touch Ye Yuan, go through me first!"


    "Heh, Shao Kai, you still haven''t come to understand until now? Just the likes of you want to stop me too?" Wu He said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan patted Shao Kai''s shoulder and said calmly, "This sort of trash, I''ll take care of it myself."


    Shao Kai was really speechless. Ye Yuan was too self-absorbed. This sort of tall talk, not afraid of spraining his tongue when saying it out loud.


    Wu He was a powerhouse ranked in the top 100 of the Heaven Enlightenment Realm. There were really not many Phaseless Realm martial artists who were his match. Ye Yuan was merely Heaven Enlightenment Realm, even if he was any more powerful, it was impossible to be Wu He''s match too.


    "Fool! I''ll let you take a look at what''s called absolute strength!"


    Wu He snorted coldly. The pressure of a Ninth Level Phaseless Realm instantly erupted. The whole process from beginning to end was incomparably astonishing.


    "The newly-issued Heaven Carnage Proclamation this time, Wu He advanced 30 over places all at once. His improvement speed is too astonishing!"


    "Yeah! The improvement speed of those under Exalt Blazing Fire''s command is very astonishing. Given time, he is very likely to become an existence on the same level as Exalt Coldblood."


    "Ye Yuan is also grossly estimating himself too much. Even if he can enter the Heaven Carnage Proclamation, powerhouses ranked in the top 100 are also not what his cultivation can challenge."


    Wu He had the intention of showing off as well, exploding with all of his power all at once. Quite a few people were secretly alarmed when they saw this scene.


    Seeing everyone reveal astonished expressions, Wu He was secretly pleased with himself too.


    "Ye Yuan, do you see it! This is the disparity between you and me! A measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm actually dares to be arrogant in front of me! Go to hell!"


    A shocking punch hurled head-on at Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. Then, a palm smacked out!


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    This time, there was no azure dragon galloping forward. Just a strange energy undulation transmitted out.


    Bang!


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gazes, Wu He was directly blasted until fresh blood spurted wildly, collapsing on the ground in a dead faint.


    Seeing this scene, Zhong Wubing''s pupils constricted, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was incomparably sharp.


    He very much wanted to see just what kind of method Ye Yuan used to defeat Wu He. However, he could not tell at all.


    Zhong Wubing admitted that the power of this palm was very formidable. But to say that it could deal with Wu He, that was something impossible.


    But what went wrong in-between this?


    Zhong Wubing could not figure out after racking his brains!


    Ye Yuan lightly swept past everyone''s eyes and slowly opened his mouth and said, "Now, who else wants to come forward and give it a shot?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Places that Ye Yuan swept past, the people all lowered their heads, not daring to look Ye Yuan in the eye.


    This palm of Ye Yuan''s directly suppressed all the people.


    Finally, Ye Yuan''s gaze stopped on Zhong Wubing, and he said with a faint smile, "Boss Zhong, why not �� you come and give it a try yourself? This Heavenly Longevity Incense ash can extend longevity by 500 years."


    Zhong Wubing''s expression turned black, not quite able to maintain his dignity anymore.


    But Ye Yuan''s appearance with nothing to fear, he really could not quite figure it out.


    This brat was too abnormal. Clearly only had Heaven Enlightenment Realm strength, but could smack Wu He to heavy injuries with one palm.


    Even Zhong Wubing himself could not possibly do it to this step so easily either!


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    "Not good, Wu He''s protective shell was broken and already triggered the grand array!" Someone cried out.


    Right at this time, a strange white-colored flame descended from the skies, directly enveloping Wu He inside.


    It only used two breaths of time, and Wu He''s entire person was burned to a pile of black charcoal before that tuft of white flames disappeared.


    The high and mighty Wu He was obliterated by the grand array just like this.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was even more shocked inwardly.


    The power of this white flame was too horrifying. Even if Exalt-class came in, it was certain death too!


    No wonder the last time actually had two Exalt-class who perished in here.


    Seeing this scene, Zhong Wubing''s expression also changed. The idea of making a move immediately vanished without a trace, and he opened his mouth and said to Ye Yuan, "Looks like it was I who underestimated you! Starting from now, everybody search for treasures by relying on own skill!"


    Hearing this, everyone''s hearts jolted.


    What kind of person was Boss Zhong? He actually shrunk back!


    Zhong Wubing''s words were equivalent to acknowledging Ye Yuan''s equal footing status as him.


    Zhong Wubing had always been a man of his word in the Asura Arena. Today, he actually yielded to a brat at the bottom of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, wouldn''t it be settled if you said so earlier? You had to find a person to come out and court death! You guys have an appearance like you''re bound by a common hatred for the same enemy. It''s really hilarious to the max. I have means to avoid those corpse guards, so why should I accompany you all to clash bitterly together? If it were you guys, would you do it?"


    Ye Yuan''s words were incomparably arrogant, but what he said was the truth.


    If other people had the means to avoid those corpse guards, it was impossible to wait for the others.


    The reason why these people behaved like they were bounded by a common hatred for the same enemy, wasn''t it still because they saw that Ye Yuan''s party was easy to bully?


    But they never would have thought that it would actually because of such an outcome in the end.

 906 Blindly Copying Others and Making Oneself Looks Foolish

    "Heh, how did you do it, Ye Yuan? It''s really too liberating! Wu He that dog normally always bully us. This time, you helped us to take revenge!"


    The one talking was called An Ren, a slaughter general under Si Yin''s command. His age was not young, but his strength was uncommon.


    It was just that with his strength, he would normally just be bullied by Wu He as well.


    Today, Ye Yuan killing Wu He with one palm awed all of the heroes, making the melancholy pent up in his chest finally get released.


    Along with that, he also worshiped Ye Yuan to the max.


    Si Yin''s lot was indeed normally too weak. When they were bullied normally, they felt indignant but did not dare to speak out as well.


    An Ren had never felt like this. Today, he was able to straighten his back and stand proud.


    Even the powerful Zhong Wubing made a concession in front of Ye Yuan''s domineeringness too.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You just have to know that inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory, I''m the strongest!"


    Actually, when Ye Yuan saw that air bubble outside the entrance, he already had a well-thought-out plan in mind. Otherwise, how could he possibly sell these air bubbles to those exalts?


    The principle of how that light-green protective shell formed was actually dragon wave''s vibrations!


    Especially after entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory, Ye Yuan even confirmed his own judgment. The grand array selected its attack targets through the vibration frequency emitted from the protective shells.


    Ye Yuan could feel that the grand array''s selection frequency reached the terrifying spirit rank!


    But this was nothing to Ye Yuan. Which was also to say that even if he did not use this protective shell, he could also be perfectly safe and sound inside the grand array.


    While to the rest of the people, although this protective shell could ensure their safety, it was equivalent to adding a shackle onto them.


    Ye Yuan could transit onto their protective shells through the dragon wave''s vibrations, and from there, magnify the power of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm by several dozen times!


    Such a horrifying attack, how could Wu He withstand it?


    Just one palm shattered his protective shell.


    Dragon wave was the dragon clan''s undisclosed secret. It was impossible for the Sky Long Ridge''s Long Family to grasp this method of applying power too.


    The Long Family''s application of dragon blood was still on developing its bloodline power to assist cultivation, that was all.


    An Ren raised a thumbs up and said, "Big Brother Ye, in the future, I, An Ren, will be your little brother! If there are any instructions, feel free to send Little Brother to go do! Ouch, who kicked me?"


    Shao Kai gave him a surprise kick to the butt, kicking him out far away, and said with a black face, "Look at how shameful you are! When you just entered the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, weren''t you still sowing discord in front of Exalt Si Yin?


    Indeed, at that time, those people felt that Ye Yuan was deliberately dragging the time. Among the people criticizing was An Ren.


    It was just that circumstances have changed with the passing of time. An Ren''s view of Ye Yuan already underwent an upheaval change.


    An Ren scratched his head and said embarrassed, "At that time, wasn''t I unfamiliar with our Big Brother Ye? H-Haha."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said indifferently, "No worries. Since we came in, I can''t very well let you guys return empty-handed."


    An Ren''s eyes lit up, and he said in delight, "Thanks a lot, Big Brother Ye!"


    But Shao Kai''s expression was not too good. He moved close to Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, I heard that the last time they entered the Dragon Sovereign Territory, they suffered disastrous losses on this Yellow Springs Road. We ��"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "This Yellow Springs Road, saying that it''s hard, it''s also hard. To say that it''s not hard, it''s not hard either! In a while, you all relax your whole body. Nobody is allowed to draw on the slightest bit of essence energy. Just pretend to be my puppets! Otherwise, if you trigger the array formations, don''t blame me for that!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s hearts turned cold.


    If it were before, they naturally would not choose to hand their lives over to another person. But now, they already trusted Ye Yuan unconditionally.


    Without Ye Yuan, they could not have even walked to the Yellow Springs Road!


    At this time, the group of martial artists hesitated in front of the Yellow Springs Road. Nobody dared to be the first one to get on it.


    "You guys, look. That''s the Zhao Tianxiang under Exalt Netherkill''s command the previous time. His strength was no less than Wu He''s. He actually perished on this road too."


    "This Yellow Springs Road is truly worthy of its name! With our strength, getting on it is undoubtedly seeking death!"


    "But we''ve already arrived here. If we don''t go in, who is willing to be reconciled to it? Obtaining the treasures inside, maybe one will be able to reach the heavens in one bound!"


    "Indeed, the last time the Dragon Sovereign Territory opened, the greatest beneficiary was Exalt Blazing Fire. He obtained a heaven-defying treasure in here. That''s how he was able to ascend to the position of Exalt in one step."


    The last time the Dragon Sovereign Territory opened, Exalt Blazing Fire was still just a slaughter general. But his luck was very good. That was how he ascended to the heavens in one step after finding a heaven-defying treasure on the Yellow Springs Road.


    Furthermore, Blazing Fire was also not the strongest one among the people who entered that time, but he had the last laugh.


    How could such an example not make these people envious?


    Except, regarding the Yellow Springs Road''s danger, they were very clear. Even if they were not clear about it, those skeletal remains ahead were still visible before their eyes!


    Even someone as powerful as Zhong Wubing did not depart at this time too.


    Very clearly, on this Yellow Springs Road, the farther one walked, the more clearly one could see the exact details of the Yellow Springs Road. The assurance of passing through would naturally be the greatest as well.


    "Make way, make way! Are you guys going? If you''re not going, I''m going. Don''t block other people''s path." Ye Yuan''s careless voice sounded out, incurring a series of sidelong glances.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Unconsciously, everyone opened up a path for Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan brought Si Yin''s lot of people and came in front of the Yellow Springs Road.


    Looking at this scene, Zhong Wubing''s face fell slightly. He clearly also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually dare to be the first one to go.


    However, Ye Yuan''s decisiveness without the slightest hesitation exceeded everyone''s expectations!


    It was only to see him stride a step out without the least bit of hesitation, and he directly got on the Yellow Springs Road!


    Following this stride, everyone''s heart involuntarily twinged fiercely, afraid that there would be something indeterminable happening.


    Yet, nothing happened at all.


    The Yellow Springs Road was as calm as before. Peaceful until it made people somewhat afraid!


    Strands of essence energy threads twined up the whole of Si Yin''s lot. Each and every one of them relaxed their entire bodies, not daring to utilize a shred of essence energy.


    At this time, their bodies were covered in threads everywhere, finally converging into a line. And the other end of the line was precisely grasped in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Ye Yuan''s casually led their group of people all onto the Yellow Springs Road!


    Safe! It was still safe!


    On the Yellow Springs Road, there were no happenings at all!


    "Quick! Keep up!" Everyone reacted to it as well, wanting to barge onto the Yellow Springs Road with Si Yin''s lot.


    Chiii!


    A tuft of flames suddenly descended, directly burning the few martial artists who followed subsequently into ashes.


    The footwork Ye Yuan''s feet followed was extremely profound. If one did not understand the profundities of array formations, there was simply no way to keep up.


    They thought that it would be fine by following Ye Yuan''s footwork. But the final result was a tragedy.


    When Zhong Wubing saw this scene before his eyes, the expression on his face was very ugly too. Actually, he wanted to follow Ye Yuan''s footwork onto the Yellow Springs Road just now too. But he still endured it at the final second.


    Otherwise, how could it be those guys'' turn to go up?


    As expected, if this Yellow Springs Road could be crossed by blindly imitating others, then it would not be called Yellow Springs Road either.

 907 Redirecting the Troubled Waters

    Stepping onto the Yellow Springs Road, Ye Yuan did not dare to relax in the slightest either.


    If he was all alone, fine. But on his hands were carrying over ten wooden puppets!


    He needed to control each person''s footwork. There could not be the slightest degree of error.


    One could say that he was currently juggling over ten things at the same time!


    Only Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying soul force could sustain his present sort of manipulation.


    This Yellow Springs Road absolutely lived up to its name. It was completely different from the array formations Ye Yuan encountered in the past.


    On this road, there were over a dozen ancient array formations!


    They interweaved between each other and were interdependent. Not only was their power extraordinary, but they were also intricate and complex, undergoing a myriad of changes in the twinkle of an eye.


    The footwork Ye Yuan was manipulating the others with was changing at every second, and not identical with his own footwork.


    For the other martial artists to want to pass through the Yellow Springs Road based on Ye Yuan''s footwork was simply a fool''s talk!


    Facing these ancient array formations that were all extremely rarely-seen array formations, if Ye Yuan''s conjectures were right, they should all be the dragon clan''s array formation. Ye Yuan could only accomplish passing through and was unable to control freely like in the past.


    Shao Kai, An Ren, and the rest were all sweating profusely being controlled in Ye Yuan''s hands. But they did not dare to have the slightest trace of their own actions.


    The sound of those few people''s shrill screams earlier were still reverberating beside their ears. With their strength, once they were attacked by the array formations, then there was only a road that led to death.


    But what made them even more shocked was that Ye Yuan could actually accomplish such an inconceivable thing!


    One had to know, carrying over ten puppets in one''s hands while passing through such a terrifying grand array, how great a nerve did this require? How precise and subtle the soul force and essence energy, as well as how startling the Formations Dao attainments?


    In their view, this was simply an impossible task.


    Yet, Ye Yuan was indeed currently realizing it step by step!


    "Mo Shang, let''s go!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Right at this time, Zhong Wubing who had been silent all along finally spoke.


    Mo Shang could not help turning blank and said, "Right now?"


    They did not have Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying Formations Dao attainments. Charging forward at this time, they were bound to trigger the array formations!


    Once the array formations were set up, Ye Yuan would surely be affected too!


    Zhong Wubing suddenly mentioning to charge onto the Yellow Springs Road at this time, his goal was already understood without further explanations.


    "That''s right! I want to take a look at to what extent can this brat be heaven-defying to!" Zhong Wubing said with a cold sneer.


    Exalt Netherkill''s party only had eight people. But these eight people''s strengths were incomparably formidable.


    Furthermore, Exalt Netherkill was bound to have already prepared for many contingencies for the sake of this trip. They probably came for the sake of forcefully rushing through the formations.


    It was just that this timing of barging through the formations was a bit too vicious!


    But to the people in Asura Arena, vicious this term, seemed to be somewhat overly pedestrian.


    Zhong Wubing leaped and directly entered the Yellow Springs Road.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    He did not have Ye Yuan''s swift and fierce footwork. The moment he got on, he triggered the grand array.


    The other seven people under Exalt Netherkill''s command did not hesitate in the slightest too, directly leaping up.


    Fierce flames instantly engulfed the seven of them. But the others knew that there was no way Zhong Wubing would perish in the sea of fire just like that.


    Exalt Netherkill was the one with the deepest foundations among all of the Exalts. Since he already knew that there was a Yellow Springs Road here, how could he possibly not leave some trump cards for Zhong Wubing and the rest?


    Sure enough, rays of chilly spectral light radiated out of the fire sea and actually isolated off this fierce sea of fire!


    "Profound Shallow Birdcage! My god, Exalt Netherkill actually handed this high-grade ice-attribute holy artifact to them!"


    When everyone saw that treasure held in Zhong Wubing''s hands, a wave of exclamations immediately sounded out.


    That pure white little pigeon cage gave off waves of profound ice-colored ghostly lights, and actually isolated off such a fierce fire sea!


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The array formations on the Yellow Springs Road were all closely linked to one another. Eight experts coming up on this side all at once already set off the grand array.


    Scorching flames actually spread over towards the front!


    Sensing that surging fire sea at the back, Si Yin''s lot all felt waves of chills down their spines, cold sweat pouring profusely.


    Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhong Wubing''s mouth showed a mocking expression.


    "Brat, you''re still a little tender to be fighting with me! I want to see just how you escape this fire sea!" Zhong Wubing said with a cold smile.


    Sensing everyone''s thoughts become unsteady, Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "Focus your mind and be unmoved! If you guys don''t wish to die, then you can only trust me!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s hearts shivered, and they hurriedly put away their thoughts. But their bodies did not dare to even have any bit of movement.


    At this point, apart from choosing to believe Ye Yuan, they already had no other choices.


    Rather than their minds wavering and landing in the array formation, might as well let Ye Yuan control.


    Ye Yuan''s measures, they had already experienced it. Maybe he could still create a miracle now?


    Ye Yuan''s fingers were like they were flying. The footwork under his feet also accelerated.


    All at once, Ye Yuan''s speed increased.


    However, Ye Yuan naturally had to pay a corresponding price too. The speed of his soul force and essence energy consumption was rising sharply!


    "Everybody together! Whether you live or die, we each rely on our own means!"


    Seeing that Zhong Wubing they all already got on the Yellow Springs Road, the rest could not endure it anymore either, all dashing onto it.


    Although Zhong Wubing was powerful, the other camps'' powerhouses were not few either. Furthermore, entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, everybody had ample preparations.


    For some time, everyone was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea; each displayed their divine abilities.


    One magic weapon after the other flew everywhere. The most inferior was also a low-grade holy artifact.


    Seemed like in order to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, each of the Exalts poured in the blood capital.


    With Exalt Blazing Fire, this example here, these Exalts were clearly no longer calm either.


    But this move of employing one magic weapon after another seemed to have infuriated the entire grand array all of a sudden!


    Rumble!


    Bolts of dense lightning descended with a roar, directly bombarding onto everyone''s magic weapons.


    Magic weapons that were slightly weaker were directly shattered.


    "ARGHH!!"


    For a moment, miserable cries echoed together.


    The Yellow Springs Road became the human world''s Asura Arena.


    Hearing such miserable cries, Shao Kai and they all each had goosebumps all over their bodies.


    They could clearly sense that Ye Yuan increased speed.


    Shao Kai could not resist sneaking a glance at Ye Yuan and could not help being startled inwardly.


    Not a hint of panic could be seen on Ye Yuan''s face. His entire person seemed to have entered some sort of very mysterious state.


    Underneath Ye Yuan''s foot, the movement became faster and faster. The movements of his hands similarly became increasingly faster!


    Shao Kai could not help shockingly discover that not only did their group of people not receive any aftershocks, they pulled apart the distance from over there instead!


    Ye Yuan''s speed was actually even faster than the speed Zhong Wubing, and they all were advancing at!


    This �� How was this possible?


    One had to know that Ye Yuan was currently doing over a dozen things at the same time. And each thing placed onto other people was an impossible task.


    Under such circumstances, Ye Yuan''s speed did not reduce. It increased instead. This was also too heaven-defying, right?


    Zhong Wubing also felt very unpleasant right now. But when his gaze fleeted sideways at Ye Yuan, his expression instantly became incomparably ugly.A widely known Chinese myth. It''s kinda like a phrase that means they are contending with each other too.Means a tragic battlefield.

 908 Eating Dus

    The martial artists entering the Yellow Springs Road became more and more. The power of the array formations was also increasing continuously.


    Apart from lighting and fire, these two types of attributes, several more kinds of attribute attacks landed.


    For some time, the entire Yellow Springs Road was incomparably chaotic.


    Zhong Wubing cursed incessantly in his heart and wished that he could kill off all of those fellows.


    But at this time, his spirit was willing, but his strength was lacking as well.


    Although the Profound Shallow Birdcage was a high-grade holy artifact, under such fierce attacks, it appeared rather hard-pressed to tackle all the problems too.


    In the beginning, he still had some strength to spare. But later on, not just him, even the rest of the people must pull out all stops too, before they could barely hold on.


    Ye Yuan''s speed became increasingly faster. His heart realm entered a kind of mysterious state, making him have an all-round increase in control in all aspects!


    Ye Yuan knew that under an extreme situation, his heart realm that entered a bottleneck finally broke through.


    If dividing according to cultivation realms, Ye Yuan should have entered Heart Like Monolith''s middle-stage.


    After breaking through, his analytical abilities had a tremendous increase, making him have a huge increase in cracking speed when facing the ancient array formations on the one hand. On the other hand, controlling those companions also became even more skillful and accomplished with ease.


    This way, Ye Yuan''s advancement speed naturally became much faster.


    The Yellow Springs Road was roughly 10 thousand feet in distance from start to finish. Ye Yuan''s speed became faster the more he walked, and he reached the end very soon.


    But at this point, Zhong Wubing they all merely walked half of the journey.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, directly leaping out of the Yellow Springs Road. Then with a wave of his hand, the rest also came out safe and sound.


    "Big Brother Ye, you''re too incredible! I really idolize you to death!" An Ren immediately jumped up in excitement.


    Shao Kai was more reserved. But at this time, he was unbelievably agitated too: "Ye Yuan, you �� did you breakthrough in heart realm?"


    From Ye Yuan''s state, it was not hard to determine that Ye Yuan must have had a breakthrough in heart realm. Furthermore, to be able to accomplish it to Ye Yuan''s extent, his heart realm was inevitably terrifyingly high.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked towards Zhong Wubing rather amusedly, and he said with a smile, "This was all thanks to our Boss Zhong. It''s impolite not to reciprocate. Shouldn''t we repay in kind too?"


    Ye Yuan deliberately poured in essence energy, making his voice penetrate through the array formations, and transmit into everyone''s ears.


    The moment Zhong Wubing heard, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    He never would have thought that he failed to bury Ye Yuan, but let Ye Yuan had a breakthrough instead. Now, Ye Yuan was actually going to turn around and bury him in turn.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan raised his hand, and it was a palm, directly rumbling into the grand array.


    Charging over this whole way, Ye Yuan was already very familiar with this set of interlinking array formations.


    He only unleashed one move, but it set off the grand array''s chain reaction.


    All of a sudden, the grand array''s attacks became several times fiercer!


    This spreading out and affecting everyone all of a sudden, another series of tragic screams rang out again.


    The various Exalts'' ten years of painstaking preparations were all gone under this blow.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One round of attacks landing, half of the martial artists directly perished. Even Zhong Wubing''s side lost as many as three all at once too.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Those left were all elites among elites!


    It was just that these elites, each and every one of their conditions were very bad as well. Apart from top-level powerhouses like Zhong Wubing, they all suffered varying degrees of injuries.


    There was still less than half of the journey remaining. But it was not such an easy matter for them to want to pull through.


    The present Zhong Wubing did not even have a chance to shout curses. It was only to see him teetering on his feet, exhausted from dealing with attacks from all directions.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, and he said, "Let them busy away first. Let''s go search for treasures first!"


    "Haha, these bunch of fellows actually dare to use an underhanded move against our Boss Ye, serves them right to follow behind our asses and eat dust!"


    As An Ren laughed loudly, he followed behind Ye Yuan gleefully, the appearance of a vile character intoxicated by success.


    Clearing the Yellow Springs Road, what entered their eyes was a small two-storied pavilion.


    Seeing this pavilion, the group of people was all very excited.


    They knew that Exalt Blazing Fire obtained the treasure here. That was how he ascended to the sky in one leap, becoming an Exalt.


    "Go in then!" Ye Yuan said.


    Seeing everyone''s looks of burning eagerness, Ye Yuan could not help telling them this with a smile.


    The bunch of people scrambled after one another and entered into the building. Ye Yuan observed around. This place did not have any eye-catching aspects.


    It was just that this building''s first floor was clearly also cleaned out by people before. The things left were already not many.


    "High-grade holy artifact!" someone suddenly cried out.


    Actually, there was no need for him to shout, the rest of the people also saw it.


    A sword rack was placed in the corner. Displayed on it was an exquisite treasure sword. Looking at the treasure sword''s aura, it was absolutely a high-grade holy artifact without a doubt.


    Seeing the treasure sword, there was someone who could not contain himself and wanted to make a move to take it.


    "Stop!" Ye Yuan shouted sternly. That person''s body shuddered, and he involuntarily stopped the movements of his hands and legs.


    "B-Boss Ye, what is it?" That person said quiveringly with fear.


    Hearing Ye Yuan bark so sternly, that person was also somewhat quaking with fear.


    Ye Yuan casually took a piece of wood and threw over. It was only to see a ghostly light flash past. With a whoosh, the wood was directly vaporized.


    That person could not help shrinking back when he saw the situation. Only then did he know that he already circled one round around the gates of hell and back.


    "Even a fool can see that that is a high-grade holy artifact. You think that they won''t retrieve it the last time they came over? You look, there''s still has a pile of ashes over there. It must be a martial artist who triggered the restriction and was burned to death. To be able to walk in here, they were definitely people whose strength were overwhelming. Even they could not retrieve the treasure sword, can you collect it?" Ye Yuan said softly.


    That person spat out his tongue, aware that he was too careless.


    He thought that going across the Yellow Springs Road, inside this pavilion-building was just like that side-hall; there was no dangers anymore. He really did not expect that danger was hidden everywhere!


    But he was also groveling on all fours in admiration towards Ye Yuan already. Ye Yuan had just entered this pavilion-building too but already observed all of the subtle aspects.


    "Then �� Then we can only watch blankly?" the person said rather unwillingly.


    To be able to be surrounded by such a powerful restriction, this treasure sword definitely had extraordinary aspects. Perhaps, it was not as simple as just a high-grade holy artifact.


    Giving up just like this, how could they be willing to accept it?


    High-grade holy artifact, even in the Asura Arena, it was extremely seldom-seen too.


    Under normal circumstances, only Exalt-classes could possess a high-grade holy artifact. It was already very impressive for them, these slaughter generals, to be able to own a middle-grade holy artifact.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that, "Already came in, how can we return empty-handed?"


    As he said, Ye Yuan slowly took a few steps forward, and actually directly walked over towards that treasure sword!


    When everyone saw this scene, their countenance could not help changing suddenly.


    "Boss Ye, that restriction ��" An Ren shouted at the top of his voice, wanting to go up and pull Ye Yuan.


    But the moment he made a move, Ye Yuan slipped away like a loach. He grabbed onto thin air.


    Everyone''s hearts seized up, and they could not resist closing their eyes.


    But when they opened their eyes, Ye Yuan already picked up that treasure sword and started playing with it in his hand.


    Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain what happened.


    Such a powerful restriction, how come Ye Yuan was fine when he went in?

 909 He Cannot, Doesnst Meant That I Canst!

    "Restriction? This restriction practically only exists in name to me," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    This restriction was the same as the grand array, both triggered with dragon wave as the condition.


    As long as Ye Yuan adjusted his own dragon wave vibration frequency to become the same as the restriction, passing through this restriction was something that could be easily accomplished.


    Everyone exchanged glances, not sure what they should say.


    There was still a pile of ashes on the floor, but Ye Yuan said that this restriction existed only in name. What else could they still say?


    This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. No matter how difficult a matter was, it would become very easy when it reached his hands.


    This skill to turn something rotten into something magical made each and every one of them admire endlessly.


    Even Shao Kai was already utterly convinced by Ye Yuan at this time too.


    Even Zhong Wubing repeated suffered losses at Ye Yuan''s hands. What reason did he have to not be willing to submit?


    Therefore, regarding everyone correcting themselves and calling Ye Yuan boss, he did not have any temper at all. If it was not due to pride, he himself would want to call boss too.


    "Heh heh, Boss Ye, does this treasure sword have any special aspects?"


    An Ren had a lackey appearance as he moved closer in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Want to look, take it then." Ye Yuan casually threw the sword to An Ren with a look of indifference.


    It was like An Ren had found a precious treasure, holding the treasure sword up, unable to put it down.


    Clank!


    The sword was unsheathed from the scabbard. A wave of extremely apprehensive sharp light instantly filled the entire pavilion-building.


    "Fine sword! Fine sword!" A wave of marveling praises echoed out.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You should be a sword-user, right? Give you this sword."


    "W-W-What?" An Ren could not quite believe his own ears, resulting in somewhat stuttering when talking.


    "I said, give you this sword to use."


    "..." An Ren opened his eyes wide. The rest also opened their eyes wide and did not come back to their senses.


    This was a high-grade holy artifact. Ye Yuan actually gave it away at the drop of a hat?


    Forget about them, these slaughter generals, even if the Exalts came here, they would definitely get into a free-for-all fight when they see this high-grade holy artifact too.


    Ye Yuan actually gave it to An Ren with a casual manner just like this?


    When they came back to their senses, everyone looked at An Ren with envious looks. At the same time, they themselves were also seized with regret.


    If they knew long ago, they would have licked Boss Ye''s boots like An Ren!


    This was a high-grade holy artifact!


    "You guys don''t need to be envious of him either. I reckon that the second floor should still have quite a number of good stuff. At that time, you will all benefit," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "W-We all have a share?"


    Everyone did not know what they should say already. This �� was also too generous, right?


    "Ye Yuan, this �� is a high-grade holy artifact! Don''t you �� want it?" Shao Kai said in disbelief.


    "These toys, I have no need for them. Just give them to you then. But you all got to be a little more careful after you go out and not easily expose these things. Otherwise, it will draw a fatal disaster," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Everyone was speechless. They perceived it, Ye Yuan really turned his nose up at it!


    This sword, when placed outside, would definitely draw a wave of bloody storm. But Ye Yuan actually held it in total contempt!


    This world was too crazy!


    Although this sword was decent, it was still far too lacking compared to the Starmoon Sword.


    Furthermore, the strength unleashed by this high-grade holy artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands was even inferior to the Starmoon Sword. It was really useless for him to claim it.


    Actually, Ye Yuan''s greatest killing tool was not the Starmoon Sword, but the Vast Heaven Pagoda!


    At present, Ye Yuan could already preliminarily control the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Slaying his opponents was just a matter of snapping his fingers. It was just that up till the present moment, no one could force him to this step yet, that was all.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda probably already infinitely approached a divine artifact. Once it was exposed, there would be endless problems.


    Compared to the Vast Heaven Pagoda, all these high-grade holy artifacts, Ye Yuan naturally looked down on them in disdain.


    "Alright, the first floor shouldn''t have any good stuff anymore. Let''s better go up to the second floor," Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan came to the second floor''s entrance. A transparent light screen blocked in front of him.


    "A restriction again! Why are there restrictions everywhere inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory?" someone grumbled.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "This restriction doesn''t have offensive power and also can''t be opened using other methods. Want to enter the next floor, one can only break it with force. If I didn''t guess wrongly, nobody should have stepped into the second floor yet."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s eyes light up!


    If no one had stepped foot into the second floor before, didn''t that mean that the treasures upstairs were all accounted for?


    "Boss, let me this time! Just acquired this Dragon Spring Sword, perfect to use it for practice!" An Ren assumed the responsibility.


    An Ren already dripped blood to have it acknowledged his as its master, and got to know that this treasure sword''s name was called Dragon Spring Sword.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not say anything.


    An Ren''s ranking on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation was not low. He was an existence second only to Shao Kai among Si Yin''s lot.


    Obtaining the Dragon Spring Sword this time, he was naturally itching to have a go.


    "Destruction Sword!"


    An Ren gave a fierce cry. An incredibly powerful sword intent stabbed towards the light screen.


    Boom!


    An Ren was directly blasted flying out, smashing heavily onto the wall.


    "Ouch!" An Ren gave a miserable wail, all the bones in his body almost falling apart.


    The faces of Shao Kai and the rest all changed. They did not expect that this light screen actually had such power.


    "Heh heh, looks like we overestimated our strength! Since nobody has stepped foot into the second floor, it means that Exalt Blazing Fire couldn''t go up either! Even he couldn''t break this restriction with his strength. How are we able to break it with just us, these people?" Shao Kai suddenly came to his senses and said, rather dispiritedly.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "This restriction, forget about the Blazing Fire back then, even if the current Blazing Fire came, he definitely can''t break it either."


    Hearing these words, everyone''s countenance changed even more.


    When Blazing Fire entered here back then, he had not reached Exalt level yet. His strength was also far from what it could be compared to presently.


    This ten year''s time, Blazing Fire''s improvement was evident to all. His strength was already comparable to some of the veteran Exalts already.


    But Ye Yuan said that even the present Blazing Fire could not do it.


    Then this light screen, who else was able to break it?


    "As expected, it was still nothing more than wishful thinking on our part!" Shao Kai said with a bitter smile.


    "Huhu, he cannot, doesn''t mean that I can''t!" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    These words were rather arrogant!


    No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to be Blazing Fire''s match either.


    But Ye Yuan said that he could break this light screen!


    This �� How was this possible?


    "Don''t believe it? All back away for me and watch carefully!" Ye Yuan said confidently.


    Not that Shao Kai did not believe. But Ye Yuan''s raised the starting point too high. An Exalt''s strength was not what they, these slaughter generals, could compare to.


    Even Zhong Wubing could not withstand a single blow in front of an Exalt too.


    Who was Ye Yuan to break this light screen?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    However, doubt was doubt. But there was a voice sounding out in their hearts, that was that Ye Yuan could do it!


    Ye Yuan came before the light screen and slowly shut his eyes.


    At the same time, all the dragon blood in his body started boiling over. A bizarre vibration started revolving within Ye Yuan''s body.


    The frequency of this vibration became increasingly higher and progressively closer together. Later, Ye Yuan''s whole body actually emitted an extremely mysterious sensation.


    When Shao Kai and the rest saw this scene, they could not help revealing dumbfounded looks of amazement.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan revolved the dragon wave to the limits. A palm rumbled out in a manner that could topple mountains and overturn the seas!

 910 Successor

    Bang!


    The palm that could topple mountains and overturn the seas was as if it was a clay ox that plummeted into the sea, never to be heard of again. It did not cause much of a reaction to the light screen.


    "Boss Ye, this ��" An Ren said rather hesitantly.


    This palm of Boss Ye''s, the power did not even look as powerful as his. Hitting onto the light screen, there was no reaction at all.


    At the very least, he was even blasted flying.


    But Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Lifting his leg, he walked over towards the light screen and actually passed right through the light screen.


    An Ren''s mouth opened wide, his face full of disbelief.


    This meant that the light screen could already be passed through?


    "Come on in, what are you still in a daze for?"


    Only then did An Ren abruptly startled awake and said fawningly, "Boss is the boss, really too impressive!"


    Dragon wave was where the core of the dragon clan''s martial techniques was at. Inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory, it could not shake off the application of dragon wave in all aspects.


    This light screen in front of them was to test the strength of the intruder''s dragon wave!


    Even if the dragon clan''s geniuses were present, it was also not possible to easily burst through this light screen. Because its lowest requirement towards dragon wave was spirit rank dragon wave.


    Ye Yuan was astonishingly gifted in the cultivation of dragon wave. That was how he could cultivate to the middle-stage spirit rank at such an age. If it was a dragon race''s genius, it was still impossible to reach the spirit rank at this age.


    One had to know that Long Teng, that level of earth-shaking powerhouse, also spent a hundred year''s time to cultivate to heaven rank dragon wave, let alone spirit rank.


    To be able to cultivate to middle-stage spirit rank, it could probably be counted on one''s fingers in the dragon clan now too.


    Entering the pavilion''s second floor, An Ren and the rest immediately held their breaths, their eyes emitting a dazzling light.


    "That �� That is a Tier 9 medicinal pill!"


    "That''s a high-grade holy artifact!"


    "That''s a Tier 9 cultivation method!"


    On the second floor, all of it was actually Tier 9 items! This place was simply a treasure vault!


    Briefly counting it, there were actually as many as over 20 items!


    Such a haul was too heaven-defying!


    "Haha, Ye Yuan, really thank you so much! I didn''t expect that you actually broke this second floor''s restriction! It really took me by surprise! These treasures, I''ll help you put them away."


    Right at this time, Zhong Wubing''s voice suddenly sounded out. Over a dozen figures dashed inside all of a sudden, directly blocking the entrance leading to the first floor. Looking at how it was, they were going to catch a turtle in a jar.


    Seeing these dozen over people, Shao Kai''s expression changed.


    Looks like charging over from the Yellow Springs Road, there were only these dozen over people left.


    But these dozen over people were all characters ranked at the top of the Heaven Carnage Proclamation. Even the lowest ranking one had top 50 strength!


    Looks like these people already reached some sort of tacit understanding and wanted to join hands to deal with Ye Yuan.


    These dozen over people joining hands was no trivial matter!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Although Ye Yuan crushed Wu He to death with one palm, facing the teaming up of these dozen over people, it was likely still not too optimistic.


    Wu He''s strength was too far away from these people. Furthermore, it was even these dozen over people joining hands.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re too arrogant! Thanks to you, the others are all dead. But this is good too. The rest are all dead, there''s nobody to snatch treasures with us."


    "Want to blame, blame your arrogance! Although I don''t know what method you used to scam Wu He to death, facing our dozen over people''s teaming up, even if you have any more tricks, it''s a straight road to hell too."


    "Haha, but this boy really have some tricks! Even Exalt Blazing Fire couldn''t open this second floor''s restrictions, he could actually open it!"


    Under normal circumstances, there was no way these dozen over people would join hands. Every one of them was all incomparably conceited and were utterly disdainful to team up with others.


    But Ye Yuan''s might made they put down that pride in their hearts and choose to team up.


    Ye Yuan was too bizarre, bizarre until it made them, these peak experts on the Heaven Carnage Proclamation, have no choice but to put down their pride and team up to face the enemy.


    Ye Yuan swept past everyone''s faces with an amused look and said smilingly, "You guys really have no idea of life or death! On the Yellow Springs Road, this Little Lord already let you guys off. I didn''t think that you all actually came to seek death again. Looks like you guys really turned a deaf ear to my words!"


    Zhong Wubing said with a cold smile, "Ye Yuan, stop hanging on stubbornly already! Today, you only have one road that leads to death!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since you guys came up, not one of you have to leave anymore. Can''t display it out here. Let''s change the location! Fiery!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. The several hundred lanterns in the corners of the pavilion-building lit up at the same time!


    On Ye Yuan''s glabella, a faint dragon-shaped marking flickered with light.


    Boom!


    Everyone only felt the scenery before their eyes change. They actually arrived inside an enormous cave!


    On the stone walls of this cave were all gigantic dragons baring their fangs and brandishing their talons. These massive dragons were all vividly lifelike; it was as if they were real.


    "This �� Where is this place? Such a powerful dragon pressure!"


    "Haha, this place should be the Dragon Sovereign Territory''s final land! This place definitely has an earth-shaking treasure! Ye Yuan, this time, I, Zhong Wubing, really have to thank you!"


    Zhong Wubing seemed to have discovered something. Not only was there no shock on his face, but it also became somewhat crazed instead.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Not bad, at least you have some insight. This place is the Dragon Sovereign Territory''s final land of inheritance! However �� it doesn''t have a dime of connection with you!"


    "Reckless fool! Just the likes of you, a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm, do you really think that you''re able to defy the heaven? I''ll let you take a look now, at the Heaven Carnage Proclamation''s number three''s true strength!" Zhong Wubing''s expression turned cold. A shocking aura billowed to the skies.


    The moment the aura flared up, the faces of Shao Kai and the rest visibly changed.


    This level of strength probably did not lose out in the slightest when compared to Dao Profound Realm powerhouses as well, right?


    But, seeing this scene, a hint of a mocking smile just flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. He did not care at all.


    "Noisy!"


    Right then, a black spear shadow descended from the sky and actually headed straight for Zhong Wubing!


    Under this spear, even heaven and earth changed colors. The speartip actually slashed out multiple fissures in space!


    Zhong Wubing''s expression changed greatly. How could he still care about Ye Yuan? His figure swayed, wanting to escape.


    However, he was fast, but that spear shadow was faster!


    Puchi!


    The spear shadow pierced right through Zhong Wubing''s chest, pinning him securely to the ground.


    Till death, Zhong Wubing did not figure out what happened.


    Seeing this scene, the other roughly dozen people could not help feeling a chill from the bottom of their hearts.


    This spear shadow was completely not like an item that the Divine Realm should have. It was too terrifying!


    "Those who are not of the dragon race that intruded the dragon''s lair, DEATH PENALTY!"


    Pinning Zhong Wubing dead, that awe-inspiring voice sounded out once more.


    When those dozen over people heard, their faces could not help changing drastically!


    How could they still have time to think? They raised their speed to the limits, wanting to escape.


    Yet, it was already too late.


    Pierce, pierce ��


    Over ten black spear shadows shot out from the void. It was only to hear a series of speartips entering the figures of people. These dozen over experts instantly perished!


    Thud, thud, thud ��


    A series of footsteps slowly transmitted over. A stalwart figure appeared in everyone''s line of sight.


    This was a black shadow, unable to see the features clearly at all.


    But at this moment, he faced Ye Yuan across a distance, and he slowly opened his mouth to say, "You are the successor?"

 911 Final Inheritance

    That dragon-shaped marking on Ye Yuan''s glabella lit up once more, appearing especially dazzling.


    "I think I should have obtained some sort of acknowledgment," facing this terrifying black shadow, Ye Yuan replied calmly.


    The moment he passed through the light screen, some additional information appeared in his sea of consciousness and seemed to have activated his bloodline, as if he had obtained some kind of recognition.


    A dragon-shaped imprint also appeared on his glabella. Hence, that was why he could open up this final land.


    The black shadow did not speak, but his gaze turned towards Shao Kai and the rest.


    Shao Kai and the others were frightened inwardly. Cold sweat already drenched their clothes unknowingly.


    "They are all my companions. Senior, please send them back," Ye Yuan said.


    That black shadow nodded slightly. Casually waving a hand, he actually shattered the space and directly sent their group of people out.


    Shao Kai and the others only saw a blur before their eyes, and they actually returned back to the pavilion building''s second floor.


    "My God, that was truly dangerous! Killing Zhong Wubing they all in a flash, that black shadow is too powerful! Big Brother Shao, my heart almost leaped out just now!" An Ren patted his chest, a look of lingering fear after the event on his face as he said.


    How was Shao Kai any better than An Ren? He merely hung in there desperately and not show it. He nodded his head right away and said, "That black shadow''s strength was indeed too powerful! If not for Ye Yuan, we''d definitely be hard-pressed to escape death too!"


    Everyone exchanged glances, all not quite recovering to their senses.


    How did Ye Yuan actually become a successor in a twinkle of an eye?


    They played supporting roles when they entered the final land, then circled one round and returned again. But they all understood that this Dragon Sovereign Territory''s truly good treasures were probably in that final land!


    "Big Brother Shao, what should we do now? This place ��" An Ren swept the surroundings once, his gaze revealing a greedy look.


    The surroundings were all treasures!


    Shao Kai''s expression changed, and he said sternly, "Don''t have any ideas! Everything will wait for Ye Yuan to come back before deciding! Don''t blame me for not reminding you. Did you forget that pile of ashes on the first floor?"


    An Ren''s heart pounded, and the expression of greed was swept away. He said embarrassedly, "Haha, I was just saying. Of course we have to wait for Boss Ye to return before deciding. Without him, even if we obtained the treasures, we might not be able to leave either!"


    "Humph! Good that you know! Everyone, meditate on the spot and don''t do anything. Quietly wait for Ye Yuan''s return. If these treasures belong to you, it won''t run away. But if anybody wants to court death themselves, I won''t stop either!" Shao Kai said with a cold snort.


    Everyone''s expressions became fearful when they heard that. Recalling Ye Yuan''s formidable aspects, they were all endlessly terrified.


    When they just entered, there were over a hundred people in mighty ranks. Probably no one would feel optimistic about Ye Yuan either. But walking this whole way, all of the people died, leaving behind just their lot of people where not a single one actually died!


    This was something that they did not even dare to think about before entering the Dragon Sovereign Territory.


    Ye Yuan virtually brought them to this place by relying on his strength alone!


    How to choose seemed to not need any more words as well.


    ...


    "You, a human, actually cultivated dragon wave to middle-stage spirit rank!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The black shadow was sizing Ye Yuan up. Although his voice was calm, that hint of surprise could not be concealed.


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation talent in dragon wave, even he himself felt astonished, let alone the others.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan had just cultivated dragon wave, it made Long Teng very depressed.


    Talking about cultivating dragon wave in front of Ye Yuan seemed to be asking for a beating.


    "Uh, as I cultivated, I reached middle-stage spirit rank." Ye Yuan told a big, honest truth very helplessly.


    The black shadow distinctly froze. This way of saying things was seriously too irresponsible.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was indeed like so.


    "Half-divine dragon blood, primeval dragon bone! Boy, your good fortunes were not small! Looks like these few drops of dragon blood won''t have much effect on you as well."


    The black shadow fished out a small bottle. Inside the small bottle was several drops of fresh blood, but he directly threw it to Ye Yuan.


    "Heh heh, dragon blood is good stuff. I won''t complain about having too much!" Ye Yuan hurriedly put away the dragon blood.


    The black shadow fished out another small and exquisite bell, and directly threw it to Ye Yuan too, and said, "This is the Heavenly King Bell, a transcendent-grade holy artifact! These two items are your rewards for reaching the middle-stage spirit rank dragon wave."


    Transcendent-grade holy artifact, even in the Divine Realm, it was extremely rare. Ye Yuan''s Starmoon Sword was also a transcendent-grade holy artifact.


    In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, divine artifacts disappeared along with it too. Transcendent-grade holy artifacts became the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most existence.


    Of course, quasi-divine artifacts like the Vast Heaven Pagoda naturally towered above transcendent-grade holy artifacts.


    However, Ye Yuan had yet to hear before of any faction that had quasi-divine artifacts existing.


    After Ye Yuan put away the Heavenly King Bell properly, the black shadow said again, "Right now, you have two options! The first, take these two items, and then I''ll send you out of the Dragon Sovereign Territory. The second, challenge the final inheritance. However �� your life will be at risk! With your strength, it''s impossible to succeed in challenging."


    Ye Yuan answered without even thinking about it, "What else is there to consider here? Facing such a lucky chance, anyone would also be unable to refuse, right?


    The black shadow shook his head and said, "The final inheritance is incomparably perilous. You''re too weak and lacking! Take 10 thousand steps back, even if you really obtained the final inheritance''s rewards, you''d be unable to operate it too. Furthermore ��"


    Talking until here, the black shadow hesitated.


    "Furthermore, I''m not a member of the dragon race, and am not worthy of getting the final inheritance, is it?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    The black shadow did not reply. But he clearly already silently acknowledged this fact.


    A human obtaining the dragon race''s final inheritance was not justifiable.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Senior, when I refine the primeval dragon bone, I''ll be able to evolve to the royal bloodline. No matter what my origin is, this bloodline cannot be faked at all. If even royal bloodline is not qualified to obtain an item of the dragon race, then who else is worthy of getting it? Moreover, hearing the meaning in your words, this final inheritance doesn''t seem to stipulate that humans can''t receive it. Your misgivings �� are merely just your own misgivings!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were not uttered politely at all. This black shadow in front of him was clearly the guardian of the final inheritance. He was not the setter of the rules, just the executor of the rules.


    "Humph! A brat actually dares to comment about this Seat recklessly, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    The black shadow gave a cold snort, and actually attacked at a word of disagreement!


    A black dragon appeared with a roar. That imposing momentum was simply like it was going to devour heaven and earth!


    "Divine Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!" Seeing this palm, Ye Yuan drew a cold breath.


    He could feel that this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm absolutely surpassed the limits of spirit rank and reached the legendary divine rank!


    This black shadow in front of him was simply powerful until it made people''s hair stand on end!


    Just what kind of existence was this guy?


    But at this time, it did not allow him to think too much. At the moment of life and death hanging by a thread, he could only revolve the essence energy in his entire body to deploy the Vast Heaven Pagoda with all his power!


    Facing such an earth-shaking palm, only the Vast Heaven Pagoda could block it.


    The black shadow made a slight sound of surprise. The black dragon instantly vanished into thin air, as if it had never appeared before.

 912 Son of Heavens Mandate

    "You actually have a quasi-divine artifact in your hands. No wonder when you acquired the Heavenly King Bell earlier, you didn''t react much at all," the black shadow said rather surprisedly.


    In his view, Ye Yuan should be overwhelmingly excited to obtain a transcendent-grade holy artifact with his strength. But when Ye Yuan saw the Heavenly King Bell, he was like an old well without ripples.


    "I-Is it Lord Long Zhan?"


    A hesitant voice suddenly sounded out. Long Teng had actually woken up at no idea when and revealed his figure.


    Hearing the tone of his words, he actually knew that black shadow.


    "I didn''t think that there are actually still people who remember this seat in the world! Eh, you''re actually an artifact spirit. A noble dragon actually became another person''s artifact spirit. What a disgrace to yourself!" The black shadow said with a dirty look.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "Didn''t your esteemed self became a person guarding a pass as a member of the dragon race too? How much better are you compared to Senior Long Teng?"


    Ye Yuan this person was the most protective of his own. Hearing the black shadow disparage Long Teng, he was naturally very unhappy. Even the form of address was changed too.


    Things that Ye Yuan were unhappy about, even if the other party was the Jade Emperor, it was impossible to make him cower and take a step back too.


    "Ye Yuan, you mustn''t be rude! Lord Long Zhang, is �� is a Deity Realm powerhouse! The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was created by Lord Long Zhan!"


    Long Teng was clearly very respectful towards Long Zhan, even to a worshiping degree. Hence, he was completely unconcerned about his attitude.


    Hearing Long Teng''s words, Ye Yuan was endlessly shocked too. He did not expect that this black shadow in front of him was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Furthermore, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm which Ye Yuan cultivated was actually created by this black shadow right before his eyes.


    Cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm for a long time, Ye Yuan deeply experienced the might of this martial technique. Cultivating this martial technique to the limits was absolutely not inferior to the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s Nine Suns Burning Heaven!


    To be able to create such a top-tier martial technique, this person was surely a character who could shake the heavens and startle the earth.


    Except, even if the other party was any stronger, his attitude made Ye Yuan displeased too.


    "So what if Deity Realm powerhouse? Circumstances have changed with the passage of time. Isn''t he still only left with a wisp of remnant soul?" Ye Yuan said without the least bit of politeness.


    "Heh, what an arrogant brat! You think that I can''t do anything to you with just a remnant soul, right? Or do you think that by relying on the quasi-divine artifact in your possession, you can stop this Seat?" Long Zhan said with a cold smile


    Ye Yuan said without showing weakness in the slightest, "Your esteemed self can come and give it a try!"


    Long Teng''s cold sweat poured profusely as he listened by the side.


    Ye Yuan this boy was really too unbridled!


    Lord Long Zhan was a genuine Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Deity Realm represented invincibility! Even if he was just a wisp of remnant soul, he was also not what emperor realm powerhouses could blaspheme, let alone Ye Yuan, a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm.


    But Long Teng also knew that the reason why Ye Yuan was like this was all because of him. Beyond the terror, Long Teng was still endlessly warm in his heart.


    Yet, Long Zhan did not fly into a violent rage like Long Teng imagined but fell silent instead.


    After a moment, Long Zhan opened his mouth and said, "How would killing you need this Seat to personally take action? Don''t say that this seat doesn''t give you the opportunity; the final inheritance, do you really want to challenge it?"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. He already made preparations to have a big fight. But he did not think that Long Zhan actually agreed to let him challenge the final inheritance!


    Looks like Long Zhan was very confident in this final inheritance and felt that there was no way he could clear it.


    "What a joke. Do you feel that this Little Lord is somebody who jokes around" Ye Yuan said.


    "Conceited and arrogant brat! You''ll regret it!" Long Zhan said.


    "Probably, the one regretting at the end will be you!" Ye Yuan went tit-for-tat as he said.


    "Wait a minute!" Long Teng suddenly interrupted the two people''s conversation and opened his mouth to say, "Lord Long Zhan, could it be that the final inheritance you''re talking about is the Voice of the Dragon God?"


    "Looks like you know quite a few things! That''s right, it''s precisely the Voice of the Dragon God! Why, regretting now?" Long Zhan said with a slight scoff.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he said disdainfully, "This sort of low-grade goading technique, do you think that I''ll fall for it? There is no ''regret,'' this word, in this Little Lord''s dictionary!"


    "No way! Ye Yuan, you can''t challenge the Voice of the Dragon God!" Long Teng directly interrupted Ye Yuan''s words and urged, "The Voice of the Dragon God is one of the dragon race''s strongest martial technique! Once the Voice of the Dragon God is unleashed, mountains and rivers will crumble, and heaven and earth will be turned upside down! It virtually has the power to destroy the world! With your current strength, there''s simply no way to pull through!"


    Long Zhan said with a smile, "Relax, now in this world, there''s already nobody able to cultivate Voice of the Dragon God to that sort of degree anymore. The Voice of the Dragon God here doesn''t even have one-millionth of that power."


    A martial technique possessing the power to destroy the world. How formidable was that? Even if it was one-millionth of the power, it was also not what a puny little Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist could withstand.


    Since Long Teng knew about the Voice of the Dragon God and spoke up about its power, Long Zhan felt that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to accept this test.


    Yet, he was wrong!


    "Heh, the dragon race''s strongest martial technique, is it? This Little Lord, I, am very interested with it! I want to take a look at just how powerful is this Voice of the Dragon God''s might!" Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    Long Teng''s expression changed, and he knew that Ye Yuan''s stubborn temper had flared up.


    He had spent a long time with Ye Yuan and was still quite familiar with Ye Yuan''s temperament.


    Once Ye Yuan''s stubborn temper flared up, even nine dragons could not pull him back! But speaking of which, without this kind of pressing forward with indomitable will kind of momentum, how could geniuses grow to become a true powerhouse?


    "What a gutsy lad. I hope that you can still smile in a while!" Long Zhan said coolly.


    The might of the Voice of the Dragon God, no one was clearer than him. A Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat, even if he defied the heavens, it was also impossible to withstand it.


    Could the dragon race''s strongest martial technique be a joke?


    Long Zhan turned towards Long Teng and said, "Boy, it''s fine if you yourself were reduced to become other people''s artifact spirit, this foresight of finding a successor also makes people dare not sing praises to compliment it! This kind of fool, you actually took a liking to him too!"


    But Long Teng shook his head and said, "He wasn''t the successor I chose, but the successor the Vast Heaven Stele chose! Although the Voice of the Dragon God is powerful, in my view, he''s not totally without chances of survival!"


    "Vast Heaven Stele! This brat, could he be the Son of Heaven''s Mandate? This �� How is this possible?" Hearing this name, Long Zhan was finally visibly moved.


    Long Teng nodded and said, "The function of the Vast Heaven Pagoda is merely used for concealing the Vast Heaven Stele! Who it chooses to be the successor, how can it be what I, a puny little artifact spirit, am able to influence?"


    Long Zhan fell silent and did not speak for some time.


    The shock that this information gave him was too intense.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Vast Heaven Stele, this name which startled the heavens and shook the earth in human history appeared once more. And this youth before his eyes was actually the successor designated by the Vast Heaven Stele!


    Each Vast Heaven Stele successor would ultimately mature into an earth-shaking powerhouse.


    Each time the Vast Heaven Stele appeared, it would also be followed by the arrival of troubled times.


    The Vast Heaven Stele''s successor would always play a decisive role each time turbulent days arrived.


    Therefore, they were called the Son of Heaven''s Mandate!


    And now, the Voice of the Dragon God already mobilized ��

 913 Might of the Voice of the Dragon God!

    On the stone wall, that largest carving of a dragon actually came to life!


    The entire cave instantly became dark. That gigantic dragon coiled around in the darkness, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression!


    Ye Yuan''s face was akin to an old well without ripples. It was as if foreign objects had no interference to him at all.


    He already revolved Heart Like Monolith to the limits!


    Although Ye Yuan was very disdainfully verbally, when it truly came down to this moment, he raised his spirits up 120%.


    He knew that a test able to make Long Teng so solemn was absolutely extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware that the dragon race was a terrifying race. Their power and foundation were absolutely not what outsiders could imagine.


    For the Voice of the Dragon God to be able to be called the strongest martial technique, it was bound to startle the heavens and shake the earth.


    A test like this, no matter how seriously one took it, it was not over the top.


    Crack! Crack!


    The gigantic dragon circled around in the air. The horrifying aura became more and more terrifying, and there actually started to have lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.


    Drawing the bow but not discharging the arrow, just like sharp swords hanging above; it made people even more unsettled.


    Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes. Raising his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm that headed for the gigantic dragon!


    Crack! Crack!


    The azure dragon yet to approach when it was struck by a bolt of lightning and utterly buried in oblivion. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm which had been ever-victorious actually did not even stir up a wave.


    "Cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to such a level of attainment, this brat is also a genius that is hard to chance upon. It''s too bad. He overestimated his own ability too much!" Long Zhan evaluated Ye Yuan when he saw this scene.


    Although Long Teng''s words made him unbelievably shocked, the impression Ye Yuan left on him was that it was hard for him to bear great responsibilities.


    This point would not have any changes because Ye Yuan was the Vast Heaven Stele''s successor.


    "The Voice of the Dragon God is indeed terrifying! This time, Ye Yuan was really somewhat impulsive," Long Teng said with a sigh.


    The Voice of the Dragon God had long been lost in the dragon clan already. It was also Long Teng''s first time seeing. He knew that the Voice of the Dragon God had yet to truly begin, and it actually had such power already. When it was unleashed fully, how terrifying would the destructive force have to be?


    Long Teng unconsciously clenched his fists tightly and secretly broke out into a cold sweat for Ye Yuan.


    Long Zhan said coolly, "Looks like he isn''t some Son of Heaven''s Mandate. The Vast Heaven Stele has times where it makes an error in judgment too. Prepare to collect his corpse for him."


    Long Teng gave him a glance but did not reply.


    Ye Yuan curled his lips and said, "Really can''t huh �� The dragon race''s strongest martial technique indeed lives up to its reputation. Looks like there''s only clashing head-on!"


    Ye Yuan was not arrogant to the extent of relying on one Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm to scatter the dragon race''s strongest martial technique.


    His idea was to only interrupt the condensing tempo of the Voice of the Dragon God.


    But he did not expect that this Voice of the Dragon God was actually formidable to such an extent.


    However, Ye Yuan did not despair. He naturally had his own judgment to dare challenge the Voice of the Dragon God.


    Since this was a land of inheritance, it should be in hopes that there would be descendants capable of inheriting the mantle. And the true Voice of the Dragon God, forget about him, Ye Yuan, even the present dragon clan''s clan leader probably could not withstand it. What was the point of getting it?


    Therefore, while this Voice of the Dragon God was terrifying, its power would definitely be controlled within a certain boundary.


    Of course, even so, for the current Ye Yuan to want to pull through, it was likely a long shot too. Otherwise, Long Zhan would not let him accept the challenge so confidently.


    Crack! Crack!


    Rumble!


    The aura coming from the sky became increasingly horrifying as if the end of the world was really going to arrive.


    Long Teng said that mountains and rivers would crumble, and heaven and earth would be turned upside down. It was indeed not false.


    This gigantic dragon was just materialized from a stone carving. Although it was formidable, its power was limited.


    If the dragon race''s Deity Realm powerhouses came and displayed this move, it would likely punch a hole through the Divine Realm!


    All of a sudden, the sky quietened down. The gigantic dragon stopped circling around too, stopping in the sky, its dragon eyes staring straight at Ye Yuan.


    Everything seemed to have stopped.


    This was the calm before the storm!


    Ye Yuan knew that the true Voice of the Dragon God was about to arrive right away!


    Without much hesitation, Ye Yuan grabbed a large bunch of medicinal pills and swallowed it in one mouthful.


    "Ugh ��"


    When the medicinal pills entered his stomach, Ye Yuan''s internal organs felt like they were going to burn up. Cold sweat poured profusely on his forehead.


    "Swallowing so many Tier 8 medicinal pills in one go. This boy has gone nuts!" Long Zhan said in shock.


    For Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists swallowing Tier 8 medicinal pills, they completely could not withstand the violent medicinal strength of Tier 8 medicinal pills. Those whose strengths were slightly weaker would even directly explode and die.


    This action was naturally incomparably insane in Long Zhan''s view.


    Ye Yuan only dared to consume them by relying on that his fleshy body was powerful. But swallowing so many in one go still made him have a feeling that his body about to explode.


    But Ye Yuan''s own body, he knew his limits. The medicinal pills consumed was definitely within the acceptable limits.


    "Among the medicinal pills he consumed just now, there was the Creation Essence Birthing Pill and Black Tortoise Tyrant Physique Pill, right? The Creation Essence Birthing Pill can make the essence energy within the body produce unceasingly. The Black Tortoise Tyrant Physique Pill can let the martial artist''s essence energy protective shield increase ten times in power; very heaven-defying! These two medicinal pills are ancient recipes. The difficulty of refining them are extremely high. How did he get them?" Long Zhan said curiously.


    Long Zhan''s knowledge and experiences were extremely vast. Although it was just a brief instant, he already saw clearly the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan swallowed.


    Long Teng said, "He refined it himself."


    Long Zhan could not help freezing and saying in disbelief, "Impossible! These two medicinal pills are Tier 8 medicinal pills! Even an Alchemy Venerable might not be able to refine them. How can he, a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm, possibly refine them?"


    Lord said helplessly, "If Lord Long Zhan doesn''t believe me, I can''t do anything about it either. Your understanding of Ye Yuan is too little. The Vast Heaven Stele definitely has its reasons for choosing him."


    Long Zhan was speechless.


    Right at this time, the gigantic dragon slowly opened its mouth. An intangible energy that could destroy heaven and earth instantly struck Ye Yuan!


    No sound, no energy undulation either. This attack was virtually completed in an instant. There was no process of transmitting it at all!


    Dong ��


    An enormous gong. A large bell was directly blasted flying. It was precisely the Heavenly King Bell!


    This Heavenly King Bell was indeed an extremely powerful defensive holy artifact. But facing such a horrifying attack, the Heavenly King Bell was immediately blasted away.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan immediately vomited large mouthfuls of blood. This attack already made him suffer injuries.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art frenziedly and started to recover the wounds within his body.


    But right then, Ye Yuan''s divine soul suddenly shuddered, as if it was struck by something.


    "Puhwark ��"


    The second attack landed in succession, sending Ye Yuan flying once more.


    The first attack, the Heavenly King Bell withstood it. This second attack, Ye Yuan could only forcefully withstand it himself!


    Although the Black Tortoise Tyrant Physique Pill strengthened his defensive powers ten times, under this attack, Ye Yuan was still severely wounded!


    "The truly horrifying aspect of the Voice of the Dragon God lies in that it''s a hybrid attack of dragon wave attack and divine soul attack; completely impossible to guard against! The sound wave attack formed by the dragon god can even shatter space, let alone the divine soul! This brat is dead for sure!" Long Zhan was somewhat gloating over his misfortune as he said.


    Long Teng gave him a glance and said calmly, "That might not be so!"

 914 Need to Get It off His Chest!

    Boom!


    Another shot of invisible energy smashed heavily towards Ye Yuan.


    This time, Ye Yuan brought out the Vast Heaven Pagoda!


    Even so, the tremendous impact force still sent him flying once more.


    The medicinal strength of the Creation Essence Birthing Pill was rapidly flowing away. Even the essence energy protective shield produced by the Black Tortoise Tyrant Physique Pill became much thinner too.


    The Voice of the Dragon God, indeed well-deserving of being called the dragon race''s strongest martial technique. A defense as formidable as Ye Yuan''s was actually unable to withstand it too.


    But at this time, Long Zhan was already struck dumb with amazement.


    Because the Voice of the Dragon God''s divine soul attack actually did not have any effect on Ye Yuan at all!


    Seems like apart from the initial-most brief lapse in concentration, Ye Yuan did not have a reaction after that anymore. His entire focus was used on defending his physical body.


    "How is this possible? The Voice of the Dragon God''s divine soul attack is very terrifying. Even if I was at my prime, I can''t withstand the Voice of the Dragon God''s divine soul attack too. How did this brat do it?" Long Zhan said in disbelief.


    Long Teng smiled but did not say a word.


    He knew that the divine soul attack not working was definitely because of the effect of the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    This pearl was incomparably mysterious. Even Fiendgod Jia Lan suffered a major loss at its hands. What could a measly, all washed up Voice of the Dragon God do to Ye Yuan?


    Unless it was the real Voice of the Dragon God, otherwise, it was simply impossible to make Ye Yuan succumb on the divine soul.


    No, maybe the real Voice of the Dragon God could not breach the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s defense either!


    Something that even a fiendgod was fearful of, how great its power was, was simply unimaginable.


    It was just that it was impossible for Long Teng to say these to Long Zhan.


    Ye Yuan was the successor designated by the Vast Heaven Stele, which was also his master. Even if Long Zhan was a senior he respected, it was impossible for him to divulge Ye Yuan''s greatest secret either.


    Immunity to divine soul attacks, the Voice of the Dragon God was equivalent to having an arm broken. Ye Yuan''s chances of victory increased greatly too.


    Ye Yuan gave a long howl and completely mustered up the dragon blood power within his body. Coupled with the protective shield formed from essence energy, it practically outfitted him into a tortoise shell!


    But even so, Ye Yuan was already on the verge of overdrawing right now too!


    No wonder Long Zhan did not feel optimistic about Ye Yuan. Just this fleshy body attack was already ridiculously powerful.


    "Even if divine soul attacks are useless against him, the damage of sound waves to his physical body is also lethal! Voice of the Dragon God, nine counts of prajna sounds, each echo surpassing the last! Right now, it''s only the fourth echo, and he''s almost reaching his limits already. Do you think that he can make it through the five echoes at the back?" Someone as mighty as Long Zhan, his composure naturally surpassed the average man, calming down very quickly.


    Although his words were unforgiving, he did indeed look at Ye Yuan in a different light from before.


    Ye Yuan''s might far exceeded his expectations.


    For a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist to be able to do it to this step, it was simply inconceivable.


    Long Teng shook his head and said, "Actually, I have no assurance either. But I keep feeling that he can pull through!"


    Long Zhan glanced at Long Teng and said coolly, "Ignorant!"


    Boom!


    Nine echoes of prajna sounds. Actually, there was no sound at all. What there was, was just sound wave attacks!


    The magnitude of these sound wave attacks was each more powerful than the last.


    When the fifth echo arrived, it directly suppressed Ye Yuan onto the ground!


    The current Ye Yuan was bathed in blood all over, his entire person''s aura weakening considerably all at once.


    The medicinal strengths of the medicinal pills consumed prior to this were virtually exhausted already. He already did not have essence energy left over to control the Vast Heaven Pagoda to defend.


    Boom!


    The sixth echo was about to arrive in a flash!


    Ye Yuan sprawled on the ground and already could not move a muscle. He could only forcefully endure this blow!


    Yet, after this attack, Ye Yuan''s aura was already feeble to the extreme.


    Seeing this scene, Long Teng''s expression was very ugly. His heart was wracked with anxiety, but he could not do anything right now.


    "Could it be that �� I got to use the final measure?" Long Teng sighed in his heart.


    His so-called final measure was to burn the last of his lifeforce, to let the Vast Heaven Pagoda help Ye Yuan withstand the next echo.


    But that way, Long Teng''s soul was certain to disintegrate!


    "You want to sacrifice yourself to help him achieve his aim? Not worth it! Can''t save him either! In your current state, you can at most only control that quasi-divine artifact once. The eighth echo and ninth echo at the back, there''s no way that he can withstand it!" Long Zhan saw through Long Teng''s thoughts with one glance and said.


    "So what? He''s my master. More importantly, he came to the Chaotic Devil Sea for me! Even if I die, I can''t let him die in front of me either!" Long Teng said very calmly.


    Living for several tens of thousands of years, Long Teng was already indifferent to some things as well.


    Done talking, Long Teng drew a deep breath and was going to return inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    At the same time, the seventh echo descended calmly, yet terrifyingly.


    Long Teng was just about to make a move, but discovered to his astonishment that Ye Yuan''s aura was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    "AHHHHH!"


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan gave a fierce cry. The sound of a dragon roar emitted out. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm leaped up once more and clashed together with the seventh echo.


    This collision knocked Ye Yuan flying out once more.


    However, Ye Yuan''s aura was still in the midst of rising!


    Boom!


    A bolt of heavenly tribulation descended with a howl and directly slammed onto Ye Yuan''s body. Yet, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious to it!


    This kind of minor heavenly tribulation could not even scratch Ye Yuan''s itch for him now.


    "He �� He thoroughly refined the primeval dragon bone and started bloodline evolution!" Long Teng muttered under his breath.


    Long Zhan did not speak. He fell silent. He did not think that Ye Yuan could actually thoroughly refine the primeval dragon bone at the final juncture!


    Ye Yuan''s progress rate of refining the primeval dragon gone could not hide from Long Zhan''s eyes at all. He knew that for Ye Yuan to want to thoroughly refine the primeval dragon bone, it still required a considerable period of time.


    But right at the moment which determined life or death, Ye Yuan actually stimulated shocking potential and instantly succeeded in refining the primeval dragon bone!


    This level of talent was simply unheard of!


    Could it be that he''s really the Son of Heaven''s Mandate? Long Zhan thought in his heart.


    Utterly refining the primeval dragon bone, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body and essence energy were frenziedly growing.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan unleashed the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm without any hesitation once more, rumbling over towards the eighth echo.


    The eighth echo was too strong. Ye Yuan was blasted away once more.


    But at this time, such an attack was simply unable to stop the rise of Ye Yuan''s momentum.


    In the midst of repeated bolts of heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan resisted the Voice of the Dragon God.


    It was as if he was the true dragon god!


    Boom!


    Before the ninth echo, Ye Yuan finished transcending the tribulation and burst right through to the Seventh Level Heaven Enlightenment!


    But it did not end. His aura continued rising, surging towards the Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment.


    The horrifying energy contained inside the primeval dragon bone was much stronger compared to half-divine dragon blood. Ye Yuan could not digest it in a short time.


    Hence, his essence energy cultivation realm was like floodwater that broke the dam, getting out of control.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    While the current Ye Yuan felt like he was filled with explosive strength from head to toe; with a feeling of needing to get it off his chest!


    He raised his right fist. A Void Dragon Shadow Punch came out with a roar!


    "Screw your Voice of the Dragon God! Explode for me!" Ye Yuan shouted fiercely.

 915 Sacred Dragon Token!

    Bursting out with a punch, Ye Yuan''s figure retreated explosively.


    But this time, he was not struck flying, stabilizing himself firmly in the end.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Boom!


    The gigantic dragon in the air dissipated with a loud bang, turning into a cloud of tattered scraps, and finally disappeared.


    This cave finally recovered to that appearance before. Except, the gigantic dragon on the stone wall already disappeared.


    Ye Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot and started to digest the benefits brought by refining the dragon bone.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s essence energy cultivation realm already broke through to the Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment Realm. His fleshy body even broke through by a great margin, and firmly stepped into the middle-stage Tier 8.


    "Lord Long Zhan, it seems like �� the Vast Heaven Stele''s successor isn''t as deplorable as you think!" Long Teng said, somewhat amusedly.


    The black shadow could not help freezing when he heard that. This Ye Yuan''s talent had indeed far surpassed his imagination.


    This impossible to complete challenge, Ye Yuan actually completed it.


    According to Long Zhan''s judgment, prior to this, Long Zhan had long determined that Ye Yuan was unable to resist the Voice of the Dragon God. Even if he refined half-divine dragon blood, was carrying the primeval dragon bone, and cultivated dragon wave to the middle-stage spirit rank, it would not cut it either.


    But now, Ye Yuan used his punch to ruthlessly smack his face!


    This brat actually really succeeded!


    The black shadow gave a cold snort but did not refute.


    Long Zhan had his pride. If he was wrong, then he was wrong. He would not retort anything on this matter.


    Seeing Long Zhan not speak, Long Teng had a stomach full of questions he wanted to ask though.


    "Milord, back then, you left the dragon clan when you were at your prime. Why was that?" Lord asked curiously.


    Around 100 thousand years ago, Long Zhan was the dragon clan''s last Deity Realm clan leader. But when he was at his prime, he left the dragon clan quietly by himself and was not heard from ever since.


    Not long after, the Deity Realm powerhouses all disappeared overnight. There was no longer any news from Long Zhan.


    What happened back then, nobody knew at all. Now that Long Teng ran into Long Zhan, he naturally wanted his queries answered.


    "Heh, this Seat leaving the dragon clan back then, was actually because I received the summons of the Old Dragon God! You should know, our clan''s supreme treasure, the Sacred Dragon Token, was taken away by the Old Dragon God!"


    Long Zhan talked tirelessly like he was describing a very normal matter. But it was like dreadful waves that surged towards the skies in Long Teng''s ears.


    "Sacred Dragon Token! Old Dragon God was actually still alive at that time?!" Long Teng was incredibly shocked.


    The Old Dragon God from Long Zhan''s mouth was the previous clan leader before Long Zhan. It was said that his strength was immensely formidable.


    Long Zhan was brought up by the old clan leader single-handedly.


    "Heh, the Old Dragon God''s strength is what you''re utterly incapable of imagining at all! Even when I was at my prime, I can''t beat one of his hands either!" Long Zhan laughed mockingly.


    Long Teng''s expression became slightly fearful, and immense waves billowed to the skies in his heart.


    100 thousand year''s time erased too many things. Even a dragon clan concealed many secrets too.


    "Milord, then �� where have Deity Realm powerhouses gone? What in the world happened 100 thousand years ago?"


    Long Teng asked the most critical question. At present, all of the Divine Realm''s martial artists were all concerned and searching for the answer to the question.


    Long Zhan mused for a moment, but he slowly said, "Don''t ask me this question, because I don''t know as well! The current me is only a wisp of remnant soul left behind by my original body back then to use to guard the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Although I have some of the original body''s memories, the vast majority of the memories, especially memories pertaining to Deity Realm, were all wiped away already."


    Long Teng was startled. He did not think that there would actually be such a thing.


    Long Teng finally managed to meet a Deity Realm powerhouse, but his memories were actually wiped away.


    The mystery of Divine Dao disappearing, the more one pursued, the stranger and more confusing it was!


    "Hey! I already passed the test! Where''s the reward?"


    Ye Yuan already finished consolidating at god knows when and actually directly came over to ask for the reward, and did not show any respect to Long Zhan at all.


    "Hold on!"


    Long Zhan threw down two words, his figure moved, and he vanished from sight.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help being speechless as he said, "This fellow, really irresponsible. He wouldn''t have run away like this, right?"


    "Talking nonsense! Lord Long Zhan is a man of his words! How can he possibly run away?!" Long Teng immediately reproached.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Heh, don''t mind it! I''m just curious, this Voice of the Dragon God is so terrifying, what kind of thing will the final reward be? He already gave a transcendent-grade holy artifact before this. He wouldn''t directly give me a divine artifact this time, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when a rift directly opened up in the void. Countless electric light wormed out from inside the void and instantly filled the entire cave.


    Boundless dragon pressure, as if it was the galaxy in the sky, poured down.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help gasping in amazement too!


    He had yet to see the true face of the final reward, and Ye Yuan already felt its power!


    "Hiss �� What a powerful dragon pressure! Senior Long Teng, you''re a member of the dragon clan too. Do you know what this thing is? En? Senior Long Teng?"


    Ye Yuan looked over towards Long Teng but discovered that Long Teng was staring fixedly at that item which slowly appeared in the void.


    "Could it be �� Could it be �� Impossible! How is this possible?" Long Teng murmured.


    "You didn''t see wrongly. It''s the Sacred Dragon Token."


    At this time, Long Zhan''s figure slowly appeared once more.


    Ye Yuan involuntarily looked towards him, and his expression could not help changing. "You ��"


    "The Sacred Dragon Token coming into being, my mission is also complete. I''ll naturally vanish like mist and smoke. It''s just, I don''t know if the original body is still alive or not." Long Zhan''s gaze looked towards the endless void as if wanting to find traces of his original body.


    But 100 thousand years had passed already. Where have Deity Realm powerhouses gone, nobody knew either. He, Long Zhan, naturally did not know as well.


    At this time, Long Zhan, that mass of black shadow, gradually became faint and was going to disappear very soon.


    "Brat, the Sacred Dragon Token is the dragon race''s supreme treasure, and also the symbol of the identity of the clan leader! Now that you''ve acquired it, you must detach yourself from the human race and become a member of my dragon race! It gives you great strength. Conversely, you have to brave fire and floodwater for the dragon race too!" Long Zhan said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan froze, and he shook his head and said, "I''m a human, this won''t ever change! Using a precious treasure to kidnap my identity, not possible! What to do in the future, I have the final say, while you �� don''t!"


    Presently, Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline could virtually rival the royals already.


    But no matter what, Ye Yuan had never considered himself to be a member of the dragon race. Want him to give up on his identity as a human and thoroughly become a dragon, that was something impossible.


    Long Zhan mused for a moment and suddenly said, "I knew that you, this punk, won''t obey obediently! Forget it, how to act in the future, it''s your business! But you have to promise me, if the dragon clan has any needs, you must help! If you''re not around anymore one day, return the Sacred Dragon Token to the dragon clan!"


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a nod, "That''s not impossible. Fine, I promise you! When the dragon clan is in trouble, I''ll take action!"


    The black shadow became increasingly fainter. Long Zhan finally looked at Long Teng and said, "You, this brat, are also an arrow at the end of its flight already. Forget it, this is a Skandha Divine Stone, take it. Before leaving, I''ll gift you another good fortune!"Old Dragon God can also be interpreted as the former Dragon God. But I''m going with Old Dragon God since it doesn''t appear anymore after this chapter, and I don''t want any confusion later on that the clan leader of the dragon clan is called Dragon God because I can''t remember what happens later.

 916 Divine Essence

    Long Zhan formed seals with both hands. A cloud of black gas emitted from within Long Zhan''s black shadow and directly entered inside Long Teng''s body.


    After the black gas entered Long Teng''s body, his aura instantly strengthened considerably.


    "This is my last trace of soul force. Saving it is pointless too, might as well give it to you. With this trace of soul force, you should be able to recover 30-40% of your strength. Plus the Skandha Divine Stone, before long, you should be able to recover to your peak condition," Long Zhan said calmly.


    Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart by the side. This wisp of remnant soul of Long Zhan''s was clearly feeble to the extreme already. It actually still had such power.


    The might of Deity Realm powerhouses was indeed unimaginable!


    "Thank you very much, Lord Long Zhan!" Long Teng bowed respectfully and said.


    Long Zhan waved his hand and said, "My soul force being depleted, I''m only left with a trace of residual consciousness. Whether it''s going with the wind or returning to the original body, I''m looking forward to it very much too! Brat, don''t forget your promise!"


    Finished talking, Long Zhan''s body became more and more illusionary, all the way until it finally disappeared.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    And right at this time, a hard object the size of a short stick slowly flew out from the void and came to Ye Yuan''s hand.


    When Long Teng saw this item, he was immediately extremely agitated: "Sacred Dragon Token! It''s really the Sacred Dragon Token! It''s been missing for over 100 thousand years already. I didn''t think that it was actually buried inside this Heavenly Slaughter Pit! Just what in the world happened back then?"


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "This thing is really your dragon race''s treasure? No matter how I look at it, it''s also not much different from a fire rod?"


    One could not blame Ye Yuan for being curious too. This thing that looked similar to a short staff in front of him was really too unremarkable.


    Its whole body was pitch-black. There were even traces of wear and tear on the staff''s body. It did not have the slightest trace of essence energy undulation either. Compared to the overwhelming astoundment from when it made an appearance, the difference was too great.


    This kind of lousy toy actually also dared to claim to be the dragon clan''s supreme treasure?


    "Rubbish! The Sacred Dragon Token is a divine artifact! How can it be what you and I can appraise? A divine artifact coming into being, most likely �� turbulent days are really going to arrive!" Long Teng said with a solemn expression.


    Divine Dao dwindling to zero, all divine artifacts were also submerged in history.


    Now that a divine artifact had descended upon the world anew, Long Teng kept having a foreboding premonition.


    "Speaking of divine artifacts, what is the Vast Heaven Stele? Also, the Soul Suppressing Pearl. Ugh �� I can''t understand what it''s all about!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Long Teng was speechless. Divine artifacts were likewise incomparably mysterious to him.


    Forget about him, even Fang Tian did not figure out just what kind of the existence the Vast Heaven Stele was either.


    "Forget it, forget it. Better go out first. Since it''s good stuff, keep it first then say. But �� how should we go out?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    Long Zhan that fellow disappeared just like that, leaving them trapped inside this cave.


    Long Teng said, "This place should be an independent space. Want to get out of here, we must shatter the space here."


    "Mm, the Voice of the Dragon God was so powerful, and it had no way of shattering this space. In our current states, we can''t get out at all!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    The Voice of the Dragon God''s sound wave attacks were very powerful. It even made tremors appear in the space. But it still did not shatter this space.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength advanced greatly, to make him shatter this space, he examined himself and knew that he did not have this ability either.


    Long Teng mused for a moment and suddenly said, "According to the records in the clan, the Sacred Dragon Token has the ability to shatter the void! Wasn''t it hidden in the void previously too?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he took the Sacred Dragon Token out once again.


    He poured essence energy into the Sacred Dragon Token. But, there was no reaction at all.


    "As expected, is it a fire rod?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    Long Teng shot him a glare and said crossly, "Divine artifacts are used by Deity Realm powerhouses. Want to activate the Sacred Dragon Token, you must use divine essence!"


    "Divine essence? What''s that?" Ye Yuan said with a baffled look.


    "Divine essence, simply put, it''s the essence energy that Deity Realm powerhouses use! After mystic qi enters the body and gets refined by Deity Realm powerhouses, it will convert into divine essence!" Long Teng explained.


    Regarding Long Teng knowing these things, Ye Yuan was not surprised. The dragon race was one of the races with the longest legacy. They were bound to know some things that the outside world did not know.


    But counting in this time, it was Ye Yuan''s second time hearing mystic qi this name.


    "But �� where do I get divine essence? Without divine essence, isn''t this just a fire rod in my hands?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    "Divine essence, don''t you have it on you?" Long Teng suddenly looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that. Suddenly startling awake, he said, "You''re saying �� that strange essence energy in my essence energy sea?"


    Long Teng said smilingly, "That''s right! These divine essences are incomparably precious. They were all obtained by Fang Tian at the Godsfall Mountain Range after exhausting his abilities back then. Each drop is incomparably precious. But didn''t expect that in the end, it benefited you, this brat."


    Ye Yuan was speechless. Turns out that he had been in possession of a treasure all along but was not aware of it! This strange essence energy was actually the divine essence used by Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Except, martial artists under Deity Realm were completely unable to unleash the true power of divine essence.


    To Ye Yuan, the function of divine essence was merely to instant-cast martial techniques.


    If those Deity Realm powerhouses found out that he used divine essence like this, they would definitely be enraged until they climb out from a corpse pile.


    But fortunately, Ye Yuan was also aware that this thing was very precious and had never really used it since obtaining it until now.


    Ye Yuan shot Long Teng a cross glare and said, "You knew these long ago and actually didn''t tell me all along! Weren''t you afraid that I squander these divine essences away?"


    Long Teng said with a smile, "You obtained it, it naturally belongs to you. How to use it is also your business."


    Ye Yuan was thoroughly defeated. He sucked in a deep breath and carefully mobilized several drops of divine essence, and poured it into the Sacred Dragon Token!


    All of a sudden, the Sacred Dragon Token gave off a dazzling light. Ye Yuan had yet to activate it when a terrifying aura transmitted out like when it just appeared!


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan suddenly deployed it, abruptly giving a smash towards the void. This area of space actually fragmented apart inch by inch in a split second!


    Boom!


    The entire space suddenly collapsed. Ye Yuan''s and Long Teng''s figures shrunk and were sucked away by some kind of mysterious force.


    Puff, puff, puff ��


    Above the pavilion''s second floor, those several dozen lanterns instantly all extinguished.


    Seeing this scene, Shao Kai suddenly stood up and said with a frown, "What happened? Ye Yuan he �� Something wouldn''t have happened, right?"


    "Boss Ye is so formidable, it''s impossible for something to happen," An Ren said.


    With a whoosh, space lightly fluctuated. Ye Yuan''s figure appeared inside the pavilion-building once more.


    Seeing Ye Yuan appear, An Ren said with a hearty laugh, "What did I say? In this world, a person able to make Boss Ye get into an accident has yet to be born!"


    An Ren''s idolization towards Ye Yuan already reached a blind degree.


    But Shao Kai''s expression changed and he said, "Ye Yuan, you �� you broke through again?"


    Ye Yuan merely went to that space for several days time and actually broke through three minor realms in a row. He was already almost breaking through to Phaseless Realm!


    This sort of improvement speed was truly too outrageous.

 917 Donst Even Know How to Put on an Ac

    Rumble ��


    Outside of the Dragon Sovereign Territory, the 12 Exalts who were currently meditating suddenly opened their eyes, each and every one of them incomparably shocked.


    "What happened? Why did the Dragon Sovereign Territory start to collapse?" an Exalt said solemnly.


    "Impossible! This Dragon Sovereign Territory is definitely the grotto of a Deity Realm powerhouses! Who can make it collapse?" Exalt Blazing Fire said with a face full of disbelief too.


    The 12 Exalts all harbored very high hopes for the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Otherwise, even if they sent people inside, it was also not possible to keep on waiting outside.


    One had to know that this Heavenly Slaughter Pit was only opened for half a year. Every minute every second was incomparably precious.


    With this waiting time, they would have long gone to other places to search for treasures.


    "The Dragon Sovereign Territory collapsing, something incredible must have happened inside. I wonder, perhaps �� our slaughter generals will be in some danger," Exalt Netherkill slowly said.


    Hearing this, the faces of the group of Exalts were all hideous.


    Especially Si Yin. She bit her lips lightly, her face revealing a look of despair.


    If she lost Ye Yuan, then this trip could virtually be said to be in vain. With this, the disparity between her and the other Exalts would get increasingly greater.


    But Exalt Coldblood took this sight entirely into his eyes and said with a light smile, "Why, Younger Sister Si Yin seems to be very concerned about your slaughter generals. Could it be that �� you took a liking to that pretty boy?"


    Si Yin was startled inwardly, but her expression turned cold, and she said, "Do you think that everyone is as cold-blooded as you are?"


    Coldblood took no notice of it and still smiled lightly as he said, "Heh, ten years ago, Young Sister Si Yin moved on your own, but obtained quite a number of good stuff. At present, this Dragon Sovereign Territory can be considered thoroughly done for already. But everyone has gotten nothing. Since Younger Sister Si Yin knows of a treasure land, can you bring everybody there together?"


    The moment these words came out, the other Exalts all involuntarily looked towards Si Yin.


    Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, apart from the two Exalts who perished, the benefits that the other Exalts obtained were not many. While the one with the greatest harvests were undoubtedly Blazing Fire and Si Yin, these two people.


    Blazing Fire obtained benefits inside this Dragon Sovereign Territory. But where Si Yin went to had always been a mystery.


    If everyone obtained benefits at the Dragon Sovereign Territory this time, there naturally would not be anyone who would turn their focus onto Si Yin.


    However, now that the Dragon Sovereign Territory collapsed, all of the slaughter generals might have died inside. There naturally would be people turning their eyes to Si Yin.


    Si Yin''s expression turned cold, and she said, "Coldblood, what''s your meaning?!"


    "Heh heh, what''s my meaning, do you still not know? Entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit this trip, you can''t very well let everybody return empty-handed, right? If there''s good stuff, don''t hide and tuck it away. Everybody searching for treasures together, the harvest will definitely be different too. Don''t you agree, everybody?" Coldblood had a broad smile on his face but appeared very insidious.


    "Yeah, Younger Sister Si Yin. You probably didn''t find Ye Yuan in order to enter the Dragon Sovereign Territory either, right?" another Exalt said.


    "Si Yin, if there''s any good place, why don''t you disclose it." The Netherkill who did not speak all along also spoke up in a rare occurrence this time as well.


    If it were others, Si Yin would not care much. But Netherkill opening his mouth, she had no choice but to take it seriously.


    With this, all of the Exalts'' spearheads were pointed at her. This made her feel as if she was sitting on a bed of nails.


    "Wow, a bunch of grown men always bullying women. You bunch of Exalts are pretty capable, huh?"


    Right then, a lazy voice sounded out.


    The Exalts were shocked and hurriedly turned their heads and looked over. It was only to see Ye Yuan leading a group of people who were currently walking out from the direction of the Dragon Sovereign Territory leisurely and unhurriedly.


    The Exalts were deeply astonished because the ones following Ye Yuan out were all Exalt Si Yin''s people.


    Furthermore �� not one was missing!


    "Humph! Ye Yuan, the matters between Exalts are hardly your, a measly little slaughter''s turn, to come and cut in! Let me ask you, where are the others?" Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Blazing Fire flared up into a fury.


    This guy had cheated him considerably!


    "The others? Oh, they have all laid down their lives for all the Lord Exalts. Especially Wu He, before being burned to death by the grand array, he was still talking about how he missed Lord Blazing Fire. It was really touching!"


    Ye Yuan made a sorrowful expression, looking very realistic. But Shao Kai they all knew what happened. Each and every one of them could not hold back their laughter but they did not dare to laugh out loud either, nearly stifling until causing internal injuries.


    Originally, when Blazing Fire saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he really believed that it was real. But when he swept his gaze across the faces of Shao Kai and the rest, he knew that Ye Yuan was talking sheer nonsense!


    Between Exalts and slaughter generals, although it was a lord-subordinate relationship, it was still making use of each other.


    Slaughter generals needed to borrow power and influence, while Exalts needed people to slog it out. Then again, the slaughter generals even hoped for the Exalts to die earlier so that they could replace them.


    "Stinking brat, you dare to fool me! I think that you''re tired of living!"


    Blazing Fire was already very displeased with Ye Yuan in the first place. Now that the top slaughter generals under his command all died inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory, he became even more enraged.


    Being triggered by Ye Yuan like this, how could he still endure it. He actually directly attacked Ye Yuan.


    Blazing Fire grabbed out. A black claw condensed and formed from killing qi grabbed towards Ye Yuan.


    Si Yin did not expect that Blazing Fire would explode and kill people at a word of disagreement. But taking action at this time was already too late. Seeing this scene, her expression could not help changing greatly.


    "Careful, Ye Yuan!" Si Yin shouted anxiously.


    A hint of delight flicked across Blazing Fire''s face. Ye Yuan provoked him time and again. This time, he must kill him to be satisfied!


    But right then, an even larger claw descended from the sky. A claw smacked onto Blazing Fire''s black claw accurately.


    Blazing Fire''s attack was scattered just like this.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The expressions of all the Exalts changed. Before their eyes was a massive black dragon!


    Slap!


    Ye Yuan smacked a palm onto the back of An Ren''s head and said with a look of exasperation at his failure to live up to expectations, "Why are you all so stupid? Don''t even know how to put on an act? Enraging Lord Blazing Fire this time, each and every one of you will get more than you bargained for!"


    Blazing Fire''s expression was completely black, depressed in his heart until he was about to explode. But that black dragon made him deeply apprehensive.


    Tier 9 black dragon!


    This black dragon was none other than precisely Blackwind!


    Before Ye Yuan went into seclusion, he asked for a batch of spirit medicines from Si Yin before. It was in order to refine medicinal pills to help Blackwind breakthrough.


    Blackwind had originally arrived at the final juncture; only missing a step to be able to break through to Tier 9.


    Under the catalyzing of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, he finally broke through successfully.


    The Blackwind who broke through to Tier 9, his bloodline already thoroughly evolved into true dragon bloodline!


    The present Blackwind already successfully transformed to become a real black dragon!


    The Blackwind who succeeded in transforming into a dragon appeared truly awe-inspiring. Sensing the dragon pressure on his body, all of the Exalts had solemn expressions.


    Si Yin was dumbfounded too. She never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually still had such a formidable trump card!


    Now, she finally understood why Ye Yuan dared to not show respect to her, this Exalt. Him joining her camp was actually just for the sake of acquiring a spot.


    With this black dragon as backing, Ye Yuan''s strength already completely did not lose to Exalts!

 918 So Many Treasures

    Blazing Fire''s expression was incomparably ugly. Facing this black dragon, he did not have any certainty of winning.


    Blackwind entering Tier 9 was not just as simple as breaking through a major cultivation realm.


    To Blackwind, completing the transformation from a little snake to becoming a true dragon in the end, this was a qualitative transformation.


    His strength would undergo a qualitative transformation too.


    Blazing Fire merely entered Dao Profound 10 years ago. If he really exchanged blows with Blackwind, he was likely still not a match.


    "Ye Yuan, why did only you guys come out. Where are the rest?" asked Netherkill. At this time, Netherkill finally opened his mouth.


    His subordinates were all elites among elites. If Ye Yuan was able to come out, they should be able to come out too.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Other than us, they are all dead."


    When these words came out, everyone drew a cold breath.


    Although they had surmises in their hearts long ago, being informed of this news from Ye Yuan''s mouth, they were still incomparably shocked.


    What they were shocked at was not that everyone died, but that the others all died and Si Yin''s lot were actually completely unscathed. Furthermore �� they seemed to have had a pretty good time.


    "What in the world happened inside? Why didn''t a single one of you die?" Blazing Fire said with a grim expression.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Why? It''s obviously because I''m formidable! Could it be that �� you don''t think so?"


    Blazing Fire said with a cold smile, "Stop talking nonsense! Tier 9 martial artists can''t enter into the Dragon Sovereign Territory at all."


    "Would dealing with your subordinates, that bunch of trash, still need Blackwind to make a move? Lord Blazing Fire, you''re thinking too much." Ye Yuan dismissed it lightly.


    "Humph! Big Brother Netherkill, this brat must have concealed many things! Furthermore, since they were able to come out, the abnormal activities inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory must be related to them. Most likely, Ye Yuan has long earned a boatload already!" Blazing Fire said to Netherkill.


    If it was other people, then forget it. But the eight great slaughter generals under Netherkill''s command were all Asura Arena''s apex figures.


    They died inside too. How could Netherkill be willing to drop the matter?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Just a black dragon. Even counting in one Si Yin, it was also merely just two Tier 9 powerhouses. On their side had 11 people!


    The moment these words were said, everyone''s gazes looked towards Netherkill.


    Very clearly, his one sentence determined the development trend of the subsequent events.


    Si Yin was expressionless, but her heart pounded heavily.


    She never would have dreamed that her subordinates actually all came out alive. Although she did not know what happened inside, without a doubt, it had everything to do with Ye Yuan!


    But Ye Yuan brought everyone out while those under the other Exalts'' command were completely wiped out. This was equivalent to offending everyone all at once.


    If she was ostracized by the other 11 Exalts at the same time, how could she withstand it?


    Exalt Netherkill had yet to speak, but Ye Yuan came to Si Yin''s side nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Lord Si Yin, these guys are eyeing our treasures. You have got to protect us! Come, come, come, give you all the treasures. You got to hold them properly."


    Si Yin had yet to react to it when Ye Yuan stuffed a high-grade holy artifact into Si Yin''s hands.


    "This, this, also this ��"


    Ye Yuan stuffed treasure after treasure into Si Yin''s hands, making everyone stupefied from watching.


    Did this brat break into a treasure vault?


    High-grade holy artifacts, Tier 9 medicinal pills, cultivation methods, a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits, Si Yin almost could not hold them anymore.


    When the other Exalts saw this scene, each and every one of their eyes turned red.


    Si Yin looked at Ye Yuan blankly, her mind already unable to think.


    Was Ye Yuan mad? The logic of not revealing one''s wealth, could it be that this guy did not know?


    This fellow obtained so many treasures, but actually did not hide and tuck them away, and even flashed them out for so many people to see. Wasn''t this looking for a beating?


    However, the astoundment in Si Yin''s heart simply reached a degree where it could not be any greater.


    These treasures, they, these Exalts, could not obtain them even after several trips into the Heavenly Slaughter Pit either!


    Ye Yuan just took a trip into the Dragon Sovereign Territory. Disregarding that he toppled the entire place, he even brought out such a large pile of treasures.


    Si Yin naturally did not know that these treasures were actually just a portion of what Ye Yuan acquired. The other people basically all had an article in their possession.


    As for himself, that went even more without saying.


    "Big Brother Netherkill, this ��" Blazing Fire''s gaze was incomparably scorching. If not because Ye Yuan''s side''s strength was not weak, he would have long made a move to snatch.


    The other Exalts were not much better either. They were all waiting for Netherkill to give an order.


    "Huh, what are all of you using those sort of eyes to look at us for? Lord Si Yin, you have to protect these things well!" Ye Yuan said with a peculiar expression.


    Si Yin finally came back to her senses at this time. She winked at Ye Yuan persistently, but Ye Yuan acted like he did not see it and still carried on talking without caring about others.


    Shao Kai and the rest broke into a cold sweat too. Ye Yuan was simply too rampant.


    Those opposite were all Exalts!


    Wasn''t playing like this seeking death?


    Right at this time, Netherkill finally opened his mouth!


    "Si Yin, since you obtained so many treasures, are you able to bring everybody along to the other ruin now?"


    Netherkill''s words made everyone stunned.


    What was the meaning of this? So many good stuff placed before their eyes, were they not snatching?


    Si Yin''s brain short-circuited for an instant too, but she came back to her senses very quickly and said with a nod, "Alright, since Big Brother Netherkill opened your mouth, Si Yin will naturally comply with your wishes!"


    Si Yin also did not understand why Exalt Netherkill would let her off.


    So many treasures, anyone who saw it would be covetous too. She did not believe that Netherkill would be unmoved.


    Si Yin could not help looking over at Ye Yuan. Seeing his completely harmless appearance, her temper immediately flared up out of nowhere.


    This guy had never discussed with her when he did things, scaring people dreadfully!


    Netherkill nodded and said, "En, Si Yin''s things, you guys don''t have any more ideas. Her slaughter generals obtained them, that''s their ability, and also Si Yin''s own lucky chance! Whoever has any devious ideas, don''t blame this exalt for not being courteous!"


    All the Exalts had stupefied looked, looking at Netherkill in disbelief. Only Exalt Coldblood''s gaze glinted for a moment but sensibly retreated to one side.


    He was not dumb. Ye Yuan definitely had some sort of reliance to dare take out so many treasures!


    And Ye Yuan''s reliance was definitely not just that black dragon!


    Regardless of which angle one looked at, Ye Yuan was not a brave fool lacking in wisdom.


    If anyone were to make a move to go and snatch, they would definitely pay a terrible price.


    Ye Yuan being able to lead Si Yin''s slaughter generals out without missing a single one was not so easily accomplished!


    At least, somebody had to die in a horrifying place like the Yellow Springs Road, right?


    Yet, everyone was here right now. This by itself already indicated many problems!


    Netherkill was definitely wary of Ye Yuan too. That was why he would sensibly not make a move, and use this as the price to make Si Yin bring everyone to the other ruin.


    This Ye Yuan was too mysterious! Clearly just a brat who was not even at the Phaseless Realm, but he made them, these Exalts, all incomparably apprehensive.

 919 Uprooting Dark Profound Gold!

    Above the tall mountain, there were scattered rocks everywhere; virtually nowhere to plant one''s foot.


    This place was in destitution. Not even a blade of grass grew. No matter how one looked, it was a wasteland.


    "Si Yin, this is the place you came last time? You aren''t making fun of us, right? The Myriad Devil Ridge is merely a wasteland. Who knows how many people have come here before. You actually discovered treasures here?" Blazing Fire questioned.


    This place was known as the Myriad Devil Ridge, but it was just a place where not even a blade of grass grew.


    Furthermore, this Myriad Devil Ridge was merely a very ordinary place within 10 miles. It was already uncertain how many people had come before.


    If there were any treasures, it would have been discovered long ago.


    "So what if making fun of you? You gonna bite me?"


    Si Yin had not even opened her mouth to speak when Ye Yuan directly shot back at Blazing Fire.


    Blazing Fire was hot-tempered to begin with. Being repeatedly provoked by Ye Yuan, he was long foaming at the mouth from anger already.


    "Stinking brat, this Exalt will tear your mouth!"


    "Come on then! I''ll stand right here! Come over and tear me if you have the capability!"


    Both parties were ready to jump at each other''s throats, while Blackwind directly blocked in front of Ye Yuan, making Blazing Fire very gloomy.


    "Alright, listen to what Si Yin has to say," Netherkill said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Blazing Fire gave a cold snort, but could only go to one side and stew in his anger.


    He seriously could not understand why a proud Tier 9 black dragon would serve Ye Yuan, this kind of guy, as his master.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s unbridledness, Si Yin was helpless about it too.


    These ten years, she had always been hiding her capabilities and bidding her time, afraid of making too many enemies. Now, things were great. The Exalts were all offended by Ye Yuan.


    She also did not know where Ye Yuan''s confidence lied. With just the likes of her and that black dragon, they were absolutely not a match for the others.


    But it was precisely because so that Ye Yuan appeared even more mysterious.


    "Everybody, just follow me over!" Si Yin did not say much either and just continued forward.


    Before long, Si Yin came in front of a slightly larger rock and said, "It''s here."


    Finished talking, she actually walked straight towards the large rock.


    Right then, something inconceivable happened. Si Yin actually passed right through the large rock and vanished from sight!


    "What a profound camouflage! I didn''t expect that this Myriad Devil Ridge actually had a grotto hidden away in an altogether different world!" an Exalt exclaimed in amazement.


    This large rock was very inconspicuous. Even if passing by in front of it, it was also not possible to discover any abnormalities. They did not expect that it actually linked to another place.


    "Let''s go in too!"


    The group of Exalts entered in a single file, all passing right through the large rock.


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and they actually arrived at a different world.


    This place had a picturesque landscape, vibrant greenery all over the place. Mountain ridges zigzagged like a long dragon; totally different from the Heavenly Slaughter Pit''s bleakness.


    "The Heavenly Slaughter Pit is an ancient battlefield. How can it have such a place?"


    "The scenery here is so beautiful. Having stayed for an extended time at the Asura Arena, I''m not used to such a place anymore."


    "Screw it. As long as there are treasures, who cares what place it is."


    The scenery here made people refreshed in spirit. But what everyone was most concerned with was still the treasures.


    "Ten years ago, I accidentally stumbled in here by chance. I saw the remains of a Divine King and took his storage ring to be able to have today. But later, I searched the outer-regions and also didn''t find another corpse. Instead, I discovered a cave over there. It''s just that that cave is blocked by Dark Profound Gold. I can''t open it at all with my strength, so I had no choice but to withdraw out of here." Si Yin pointed in a direction and said.


    "Dark Profound Gold!"


    When everyone heard Si Yin''s words, they could not help drawing a cold breath.


    Dark Profound Gold was an extremely rare metal, possessing the attribute of devouring essence energy. Once it gets refined into a holy artifact, it could greatly weaken the opponent''s attack.


    Such a treasure was actually used to block a cave entrance?


    Under Si Yin''s lead, everyone came to that cave. Indeed, they saw a huge chunk of Dark Profound Gold.


    "What a large chunk of Dark Profound Gold! Just this large piece of Dark Profound Gold, this trip is already not in vain!" Somebody cried out.


    This cavern was one-person long and wide. To be able to block such a large cave, one could imagine how large this chunk of Dark Profound Gold was.


    Only now did all the Exalts understand why Si Yin wanted to get Ye Yuan over.


    Although Dark Profound Gold was good, these Exalts simply did not have the ability to push it away.


    Although Dao Profound Realm martial artists were strong, body-refinement martial artists were extremely, extremely rare. Even though the Exalts'' essence energy cultivation realms were very formidable, in terms of the fleshy body''s strength, they were a million miles worse than Ye Yuan.


    Under the situation where essence energy was useless, clearly, only Ye Yuan could move this lump of Dark Profound Gold.


    "Ye Yuan, you guys have already obtained a lot of precious treasures inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory. This Dark Profound Gold door, we''ll have to trouble you to get to work to remove it," at this time, Netherkill opened his mouth and said.


    To be able to make Exalt Netherkill use this sort of discussing tone to speak, Ye Yuan could be considered the first one.


    But Ye Yuan did not have any awareness of feeling overwhelmed by flattery and honor. He said with a faint smile, "I can open the door, but this chunk of Dark Profound Gold belongs to me!"


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, the other Exalts became indignant.


    "Ye Yuan, don''t reach out for a yard after taking an inch! Such a large piece of Dark Profound Gold, that''s a priceless treasure! You guys have already acquired so many precious treasures, and your greed is actually still insatiable!" Exalt Heavenly Hedonist raised objections.


    But Ye Yuan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "What a joke! Listening to the meaning of your words, my treasures seem to all be picked up for free! Don''t say that the grapes are sour because you couldn''t eat them! If you''re envious, come and snatch! Want to open the door, no problem! The Dark Profound Gold is my condition! Either way, we''ve obtained quite a few treasures. It''s sufficient for us to digest for 10 years time. No big deal in missing out on this chunk of Dark Profound Gold either."


    Ye Yuan''s words put all the Exalts on the verge of vomiting blood.


    This fellow simply exasperated people to death without paying for it. Yet, you just couldn''t do anything to him.


    So many people but only Ye Yuan had the ability to open this Dark Profound Gold door. If he did not open, no one had any ways of entering either.


    "Fine, the Dark Profound Gold belongs to you!" Netherkill opened his mouth and said.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard it, he beamed widely and said, "Take a look you guys, learn a little more from Elder Brother! Even this door was stuffed up using Dark Profound Gold, can the good stuff inside still be little?"


    The Exalts all looked at Ye Yuan with furious glares. But thinking carefully, it really seemed to be the case.


    To be able to use Dark Profound Gold to block the doorway, there must be some incredible things inside.


    Obtaining Exalt Netherkill''s approval, Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, directly arriving in front of the Dark Profound Gold.


    Talk was cheap, but to really uproot this chunk of Dark Profound Gold, what kind of immense strength did that require?


    Dark Profound Gold was extremely heavy in the first place. Such a large chunk of Dark Profound Gold was probably several tens of millions of pounds! Furthermore, this chunk of Dark Profound Gold was embedded firmly in the cave. Wanting to extract it was much harder than lifting it up.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, placing both hands on the Dark Profound Gold, and suddenly exerted strength!


    "HAH!"


    The moment Ye Yuan''s aura rose, his strength was overwhelming, both feet directly planting in the ground.


    Sensing this immense strength, the Exalts also revealed looks of solemnness. If they did not employ essence energy protection and fought hand-to-hand combat, Ye Yuan''s abnormal strength could blow them up with one punch.


    Receiving the influence of Ye Yuan''s immense strength, the entire mountain started to quake violently.


    The dragon blood power within Ye Yuan''s body abruptly erupted, his arms actually transformed into two dragon claws!


    Boom!


    Under everyone''s gaze, the Dark Profound Gold actually directly flew out!A reference to a story in Water Margin, where someone uproots a willow tree bare-handedly. Left it as uproot for reference accuracy and dramatic purposes.

 920 Gotten into a Big Trouble!

    Boom!


    A huge noise transmitted over. The Dark Profound Gold smashed out a huge crater on the ground, shaking until everyone''s feet trembled.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help shuddering with fear. This Ye Yuan was simply a human-shaped monster. Such a large chunk of Dark Profound Gold, he actually really uprooted it!


    Yet, everyone did not have time to be shocked when an abnormality occurred!


    The moment the cave opened, clouds of black gas surged out from inside the cave as if it burst through.


    "Damn, seemed to have gotten into big trouble!" Ye Yuan said with an innocent face.


    The expressions of all the Exalts changed drastically too. Each and every one of them was still looking forward to entering the cave to search for treasures. Who knew that such an abnormality would arise all of a sudden?


    "Quickly run! The Dark Profound Gold was used to seal demonic things! The Dark Profound Gold being plucked out, the demonic things are already no longer under control!" Blazing Fire immediately ran when he saw that things were not going well.


    "Hahaha! We have been trapped here for 100 thousand years! We finally see the light of day once more!"


    At this time, masses of black shadows poured out from inside the cave, instantly surrounding everyone, sealing off all of the escape routes.


    When Ye Yuan saw this sort of situation, how could he still not get it? This was not some treasure land at all, but a place where the ancient era''s powerhouses sealed the fiend race!


    These black shadows had the same aura as Jia Lan. Except, the fiendish qi magnitude on these guys'' bodies were much weaker compared to Jia Lan.


    Recalling Si Yin''s statement from before, a trace of understanding was produced in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Looks like that corpse was the powerhouse who sealed these fiends. Except, after sealing, he already reached the point where the oil gave out, and the lamp was expiring too. That was why he died here.


    "Je je, boy, were you the one who let us out? As a reward, you shall become my new fleshy body!"


    A black shadow floated in front of Ye Yuan and was actually going to seize possession directly.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he immediately said excitedly, "Hurray, hurray! I''m so honored to become your fleshy body!"


    That fiendish shadow distinctly froze. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually have such a reply. But he did not think too much either, tunneling into Ye Yuan''s body swiftly.


    "Je je, turns out that this boy is a moron. Mu Luo seizing possession of him is also considered helping to exonerate him!"


    "Mu Luo already found a fleshy body. We also got to hurry up and find our own fleshy bodies. This state will make our strength be greatly discounted!"


    "There are actually quite a few Dao Profound experts. Letting them become our fiend slaves is very suitable!"


    These fiendish shadows were all incomparably unbridled and thought nothing of the group of Exalts at all.


    One fiendish shadow after another stood in the air. There were roughly around several dozen.


    Although these fiendish shadows'' imposing manner could not compare to Fiendgod Jia Lan, it was much stronger compared to those Exalts. Plus, the numbers were many. Thinking nothing of them could be predicted.


    "Alright, Mu Luo, since you''ve already finished seizing possession, hurry up and take care of those trash. It''s our turn to go and seize possession!" a fiend shadow said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were originally somewhat blank. But at this time, he grinned widely and said, "You''re calling me?"


    The fiend shadow could not help pausing when he heard that and blurted out, "You �� You �� How is that possible? Where''s Mu Luo?!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Even Jia Lan couldn''t seize possession of my fleshy body. Just the likes of trash like you guys want to seize possession of your Grandpa Ye''s body too? Fools who overestimate your own abilities!"


    "Impossible! You �� You''ve actually met Lord Jia Lan before? No way! Lord Jia Lan is an invincible existence! You could still survive until now when you''ve met him?" The fiend shadow''s words were full of shock.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said with a look of disdain, "Invincible? Is your fiend race all so arrogant? Posturing got to have a limit too, alright? Jia Lan that guy was beaten by this Little Lord, me, until he wet his pants in terror! He''s healing his wounds at god knows which corner right now!"


    That fiend shadow clearly did not believe Ye Yuan''s words. Although Fiendgod Jia Lan was not from the same era as them, these fiends, he was a fiendgod with strikingly high renown among the fiend race.


    Even separated by several hundred thousand years, the awe-inspiring reputation of Fiendgod Jia Lan was still commended among the fiend race.


    Such an existence would be beaten until he wet his pants in terror by this brat in front of him who was not even at Phaseless Realm?


    Wasn''t this rubbish?!


    But Fiendgod Jia Lan had already been sealed for close to a million years. Forget about the human race, even the low-level fiends did not know Fiendgod Jia Lan this name either. How did this brat know?


    The Exalts were also endlessly shocked at this time. They clearly saw that fiendish shadow take possession of Ye Yuan. But it was gone without even letting out a fart.


    Ye Yuan this brat was simply too terrifying!


    "Boy, don''t be insolent! This Seat will come and take care of you shortly!" A fiend shadow''s figure moved and sped towards the group of slaughter generals.


    Very clearly, there were risks for them to seize possession of Dao Profound Realm powerhouses too. But Phaseless Realm martial artists, the fiend shadow did not have any misgivings.


    Although the slaughter generals under the Exalts'' command practically all died inside the Dragon Sovereign Territory, Coldblood, Heavenly Hedonist, and Blazing Fire''s slaughter generals still had quite a few. There were enough for them to seize possession.


    For a moment, the fiend shadows'' howls pervaded the entire space.


    "Want to seize possession? How can it be that easy?!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and suddenly unleashed a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Boom!


    The group of fiend shadows was clearly very formidable too. Fiendish qi suddenly erupted, blocking Ye Yuan''s palm.


    "Heh heh, brat, your this bit of ability still can''t hurt us!" The fiend shadow said with a laugh.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so?"


    The fiend shadow was currently flying in the air, but his figure suddenly plummeted down, like he had suffered substantial injuries.


    "Ahh, ahh! Damn brat actually hid lightning-attribute in his attack!" the fiend shadow cried out miserably.


    Lightning-attribute was the jinx of all fiendish things under the heavens. Although the lightning-attribute Ye Yuan''s Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was carrying could not kill these fiend shadows, making them suffer some hardships was still achievable.


    "What are you still stoning there for? These guys are all fiend emperors! Once you let them succeed in seizing possession, not a single one of you can escape!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.


    Only then did the group of Exalts come back to their senses, and collectively making a move to attack those fiend shadows.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of Shao Kai and the others with a flash and said in a solemn voice, I''ll cover you guys. Hurry up and retreat out of this space. Those Exalts probably can''t stop those fiend emperors!"


    These people all had not fought with the fiend race before and were completely unaware of the fiend race''s terror. The fiend race was like cockroaches that could not be killed. Without heaven-defying means, they simply could not be killed.


    Although Ye Yuan could restrain them with the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, his strength was too weak after all. Wanting to kill so many fiend emperors, that was something virtually impossible.


    This battle, victory or defeat was really hard to say.


    The moment the group of Exalts attacked, it was indeed great and momentous, suppressing most of the fiend emperors instantaneously.


    But the fiend emperors'' numbers greatly surpassed the Exalts. There would always be that few fishes that slipped through the net, rushing towards those slaughter generals wanting to seize possession.


    "ARGH!!"


    "ARGH!!"


    "ARGH!!"


    Wretched screams transmitted over repeatedly. Those slaughter generals succumbed one by one, releasing a final scream.


    But these fiend emperors were all very wary of Ye Yuan. Nobody dared to approach his side.

 921 Continuous Unexpected Events!

    The fiend race''s act of possession was incomparably tyrannical. In a blink of an eye, there were several powerhouses swathed in fiendish qi from head to toe. Clearly, they were already successfully taken possession of.


    The slaughter generals were mostly late-stage Phaseless Realm. After the fiend emperors succeeded in seizing possession, each and every one of their auras skyrocketed, directly breaking through to Dao Profound Realm.


    "Je je, our fleshy bodies were suppressed until they rotted. How many years has it been since I''ve savored the taste of a physical body," a fiend emperor said with a weird laugh.


    When the fiend emperors obtained the fleshy bodies, their auras actually surpassed the group of Exalts'' all at once.


    "You humans are seriously too weak! All of you, obediently become our fiend slaves!"


    The fiend emperors that successfully seized possession rushed forward and clashed together with the Exalts. The Exalts'' pressure immediately soared.


    Those Exalts were not some goody-two-shoes. They discovered very quickly that these fiend emperors were very fearful of Ye Yuan. Each and every one of them actually retreated as they fought, luring the fiend emperors over to Ye Yuan there.


    "Despicable!" An Ren gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    "Blackwind, escort them away!" when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he said in a solemn voice.


    "Yes! Master, be careful!" Blackwind brought everyone along and hastily retreated outwards.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood with all his power, his entire body erupting with powerful lightning powers. His entire person was seemingly a walking lightning ball. Areas that he passed through, all the fiend emperors would avoid like the plague.


    Ye Yuan joined the group battle and pinned down quite a number of fiend emperors all at once, and actually turned the situation around in a short while!


    "Mu Ta, still not done yet?" a fiend emperor said anxiously.


    On the sideline, fiendish qi billowed toward the sky!


    The fiend emperor called Mu Ta had just finished taking possession when he erupted with a strength that astounded people.


    It was only to see him abruptly open both eyes and said with a hideous grin, "Done. Let these guys become our fiend slaves! That boy seems to be somewhat strange. Entertain him well!"


    Mu Ta''s figure suddenly moved, his entire person seemed like a war chariot, abruptly smashing into the fight!


    Bang!


    An Exalt was directly hit by Mu Ta''s tremendous force, spewed out a large mouthful of blood, and flew out backward.


    Seeing this scene, all of the Exalts'' faces changed drastically.


    This Mu Ta had at least middle-stage Dao Profound Realm strength!


    This guy had just finished taking possession and actually had such terrifying strength!


    Netherkill''s eyes glinted, and he said in a deep voice, "Retreat!"


    Finished talking, Netherkill''s figure retreated explosively and sped over towards the entrance.


    When the group of Exalts saw that even Netherkill had retreated, how could they still dare to continue fighting? Each and every one of them was anxious to escape.


    "Hahaha! Want to run? How can it be that easy! Stay behind obediently and be our fiend slaves!"


    As Mu Ta laughed loudly, his figure suddenly vanished from sight. His speed was actually even faster than Netherkill.


    Bang!


    It was an extremely strong collision. Netherkill was actually struck by Mu Ta until he flew back. In one move, whoever was superior was immediately determined!


    Even Netherkill was pushed back in one strike. The Exalts'' faces revealed looks of despair.


    These fiend emperors were too strong!


    "ARGH!!"


    "ARGH!!"


    ...


    A series of miserable screams transmitted over. More and more fiend emperors successfully took possession.


    The strength of the fiend emperors over here became stronger and stronger, while the Exalts'' side became increasingly weaker.


    A fiend emperor came in front of that Exalt who was struck flying by Mu Ta prior to this and plunged a surge of fiendish sense into his sea of consciousness.


    Before long, that Exalt actually stood up and gave a bow to that fiend emperor and said, "This fiend slave has seen Master!"


    That fiend emperor laughed out loud and said, "Haha, good! Go and deal with that bunch of fellows for her. Remember, don''t kill them. I want to make them all become fiend slaves!"


    "Yes, Master!"


    Watching that Exalt become a fiend slave helplessly, the other 11 Exalts all could not help feeling a chill down their spines, having a feeling of the fox mourning the death of a hare.


    The fiend race''s fiendish sense was too tyrannical. It did not permit them to resist at all before they were directly devilized.


    At this rate, wouldn''t the fiend emperor side becomes stronger and stronger, while their side becomes weaker and weaker?


    Unable to run even if they fled, unable to beat them if they fought too. What to do?


    "Big Brother Netherkill, fight it out with them! At this rate, everyone is dead!" Blazing Fire shouted fiercely.


    Netherkill''s gaze turned cold, and he said with a nod, "Fine! Now that the story''s played out like this, we can only take a final plunge!"


    The Netherkill who prepared for a fight to the death suddenly erupted with a powerful aura. A surge of murderous aura that swept away all obstacles swept towards the fiend emperors.


    Seeing this scene, all the Exalts felt a great boost in confidence.


    Netherkill was the one who was the most unfathomable among these people. Once he brought out his true strength, it was only right that he would not lose to these fiend emperors at the very least.


    Who knew that those fiend emperors thought nothing of Netherkill at all, and instead, they burst into laughter as one said, "Haha! This one''s strength is not bad. He''s qualified enough to be our fiend slave! Although the others are also Tier 9 strength, they are still a little lacking."


    Facing such a berserk murderous air, Mu Ta was not cowed in the least, and directly charged forward towards the murderous aura and was actually not affected at all.


    Boom!


    Under an attack, it was still Mu Ta who took the absolute upper-hand.


    When Mu Ta attacked, the other fiend emperors did not idle as well, both sides directly tangling together in battle.


    But the current situation was far from good. The people on the fiend emperors'' side became more and more and already occupied a crushing advantage.


    It was just a matter of time for the Exalts'' side to lose.


    But at the same time, a fiend emperor pestered Ye Yuan. He was clearly quite fearful of Ye Yuan and did not dare to approach too close. But if Ye Yuan wanted to leave, he absolutely did not allow it too.


    Just like this, both parties were caught in a stalemate here.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Bang!


    Another Exalt was injured, then taken control of by a group of fiend emperors.


    Ye Yuan''s expression fell slightly too. He did not expect that there would actually be so many fiend emperor powerhouses here. Could it be that he must bring out the Sacred Dragon Token and Vast Heaven Pagoda now?


    These two items were his final trump cards. Not reaching the eleventh hour, they must absolutely not be exposed.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and still decided to wait and see.


    The fiend race was seriously too difficult to deal with. Although these fiend emperors were not as powerful as Fiendgod Jia Lan, they had only experienced 100 thousand years of suppression. Furthermore, their treatment was completely different from Jia Lan''s. Therefore, each and every one of their deterioration was not that severe.


    In contrast, these fiend emperors were more difficult to deal with.


    Speaking of which, if not for Jia Lan looking for trouble and wanting to seize possession of Ye Yuan back then, he would not have been severely wounded and sent away in defeat either.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl''s damage to Jia Lan was too great.


    Ye Yuan observed the battle by the side, his expression became increasingly ugly too. One Exalt after another was taken control of by the fiend emperors, and became the other party''s fiend slaves instead.


    Furthermore, after becoming fiend slaves, the Exalts'' strength actually soared by a large margin again.


    Under such circumstances, it was completely impossible for the Exalts'' side to reverse the situation.


    Ye Yuan quietly revolved the incantation and was currently planning on bringing out the Sacred Dragon Token. Right then, an unforeseen accident occurred again!


    Boom!


    A violent explosion sounded out and actually directly blasted the entire group of fiend emperors flying! Even the strongest Mu Ta had no strength to retaliate in the slightest under this blow.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. Focusing his eyes and looking over, he was surprised. He did not know why Netherkill''s disposition changed drastically all of a sudden


    And this sort of transformation gave people a feeling of heart palpitation.


    "You guys are really useless! You can''t even deal with a few fiend emperors! Since that''s the case, it''s useless to keep you guys too!" Netherkill slowly said.

 922 30 Thousand-Year Hoax

    Netherkill was floating in mid-air. The corners of his clothing was rustling, with violent, murderous air rampaging all over the place. His aura was extremely terrifying!


    The current Netherkill became like a completely different person from before and actually gave people a feeling of unrivaledness.


    Even those fiend emperors also looked at Netherkill with somber expressions and actually did not dare to attack anymore.


    Under the mask, that pair of eyes were seemingly able to shock people to the core, making people not dare to look him in the eye.


    "Nurturing you all for so long, this Seat bestowed upon you status and glory. It''s time for you all to repay this seat!" Netherkill slowly opened his mouth, but it made all of the Exalts'' hearts tighten.


    "Big Brother Netherkill, you �� what do you mean?"


    Blazing Fire''s expression was very ugly, and a hint of foreboding premonition birthed in his heart.


    "You''ll know right away!"


    Netherkill slowly lifted his two palms. A tremendous suction force enveloped everyone.


    With Netherkill as the center, it formed an enormous vortex. The affected scope of this vortex virtually filled the entire space.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Puhwark!


    A slaughter general who had not been taken possession of yet exploded all of a sudden. He did not even let out a tragic cry.


    A stream of black gas gushed out from within his body, and it directly entered into Netherkill''s body.


    Ye Yuan saw it clearly. That mass of black gas was precisely the hallmark of the Slaughter Concept!


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Very soon, a series of explosion sounds rang out. Time bombs seemed to have been planted within the bodies of those slaughter generals, exploding without any warning signs!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Streams of Slaughter Concept were like many streams of small creeks, finally converging into the great river.


    "Ugh ��"


    Si Yin suddenly moaned lightly, an anguished expression showed on her face, and she actually collapsed directly.


    But right at the instant she fell over, she was pulled into someone''s arms by a broad arm. Focusing her eyes to look, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    "Ye Yuan, you �� you''re fine?"


    Si Yin''s head was splitting at present. It was as if there was a burst of qi inside her body churning incessantly, her entire person on the verge of bursting. But looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, he was actually completely fine.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just some small trick. How can it be that easy to want to make me, Ye Yuan, fall for it?"


    "This �� Just what in the world �� is going on?" Si Yin endured the pain and asked.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked over towards the all-powerful Netherkill and said with a cold smile, "The Asura Arena''s Slaughter Concept is merely a hoax that has persisted for 30 thousand years. And you all, these Exalts, are merely the hosts for the Slaughter Concept than other people are farming out to. Once they raise you guys to maturity, they naturally have to butcher."


    There was no free lunch in this world. Being able to obtain Slaughter Concept without needing to comprehend, how could this sort of bargain possibly occur?


    It was just that the Asura Arena did it very covertly. Outsiders had no knowledge of it all along, that was all.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Si Yin could not help revealing a look of despair.


    In just this short while, those slaughter generals all perished from their bodies exploding, while the Slaughter Concepts converged into Netherkill''s body.


    Netherkill''s aura became increasingly stronger. But Ye Yuan knew that this was merely just the appetizer.


    These Exalts were the real feast!


    The Slaughter Concept in the Exalts were all eight stars. Each and every one of their strength was incomparably formidable. Absorbing these Exalts'' Slaughter Concept, Netherkill''s strength would probably reach an unfathomable degree.


    "Puhwark ��"


    A fiend emperor finally could not endure it, and his fleshy body directly exploded.


    "Ahh! Damn it! My fleshy body!"


    That fiend emperor never would have thought that the fleshy body which he had just acquired would actually be gone so quickly.


    But the fiend race was indeed incomparably fearsome. Although their fleshy body was gone, they still transformed into a mass of fiendish shadow.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    A surge of bizarre aura wandered inside the fiend emperors'' bodies. Finally, all of them exploded.


    Ye Yuan took a look at Si Yin and finally still let out a sigh and said, "Si Yin, if you trust me, open up your divine soul. No matter what I do, don''t resist. Once something goes wrong, your soul will dissipate!"


    Currently, Si Yin''s body was like it had swelled up. Her entire body was becoming round and plump like she was filled with air.


    Very clearly, she could not sustain much longer anymore as well. Among the group of Exalts, her strength was the weakest. When it was the Exalts'' turn, she would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.


    Although Si Yin did not have city-toppling peerless looks, she was also a beauty hard to come by. Her state made people feel pity and protectiveness endlessly.


    Of course, the reason why Ye Yuan chose to save her was not that he had a tender heart for the fair sex, but because he felt that she still belonged to the type that could be saved among these Exalts.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, a glimmer of hope along with astonishment finally emerged in Si Yin''s eyes that had given up all hope.


    The entire Asura Arena was a hoax, and the origin of this hoax was the Absolute Kill Token. Ye Yuan had the Absolute Kill Token on him too. Why was he totally fine?


    The secrets on this guy''s body were seriously too many.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Si Yin completely opened her mind. A strand of warm soul force flowed in.


    Ye Yuan plunged into Si Yin''s divine soul with ease and familiarity and started searching.


    Exploring other people''s divine soul this sort of thing was incomparably perilous to other martial artists. A single mishap would cause irreparable damage to other people''s divine soul.


    Upon injuring the divine soul, if it was minor, their strength would be greatly diminished. If it was severe, they would become retarded, even die immediately.


    But Ye Yuan''s attainments in the divine soul was the top-notch even when looking at the entire Divine Realm. His soul force wandered inside Si Yin''s divine soul with ease and familiarity, seemingly searching for something.


    Not long after, a black seed appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    That seed had already germinated and actually started growing! This black seed was the main culprit!


    Back then when Ye Yuan merged with the Absolute Kill Token, this black seed also attempted to grow inside his divine soul but was blotted out by Ye Yuan quietly.


    Ye Yuan''s methods were extremely covert. Even Netherkill could not possibly discover a trace of an inkling either.


    Seemingly noticing Ye Yuan, that seed seemed to have suffered a fright, abruptly releasing an attack at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. His soul force swept out, dispersing this attack to nothingness.


    Sensing the difficulty to handle Ye Yuan, that seed actually transformed and became human-shaped. That appearance was actually no different from Netherkill.


    "Brat, this Seat advise you to not poke your nose into other people''s affairs! Otherwise, this woman''s soul will dissipate!" Netherkill voiced a warning.


    Ye Yuan''s soul force condensed and also transformed into human form and said with a cold smile, "A mere divine sense clone dares to threaten your Grandpa Ye? Want to exterminate her divine soul, you can very well give it a try!"


    "Humph! Since you want to fight it out to the death, then this Seat will fulfill your wish!"


    Netherkill snorted coldly. That body which materialized and formed erupted with an extremely powerful soul force. It was actually going to destroy this divine sense clone and perish together with Si Yin!


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, both hands firing out a hundred spells as fast as lightning. A stream of gentle force wrapped this divine sense clone up.


    No matter how he exploded, he was also unable to harm Si Yin the least bit!

 923 Exterminating Fiend Emperors!

    In the extreme recesses of the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, a handsome man dressed entirely in black clothing suddenly snapped open both eyes, his brows involuntarily furrowing.


    His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through the void, looking towards the vast distance.


    His face was expressionless. It radiated awe without showing anger.


    After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Forget it, this Seat has already reached the critical moment. This matter will be handed to him to do!"


    Finished talking, the black-clothed man slowly shut his eyes again. A wave of heinous, murderous air crept around his body.


    ...


    Looking at that strand of divine sense turning to nothing, Ye Yuan''s brows knitted slightly too.


    Just a mere strand of divine sense had such power. Then how powerful was the original body''s strength?


    Only he, Ye Yuan, could do this. If it was somebody else, it was absolutely impossible to eradicate the divine sense so effortlessly.


    "That fellow''s strength is becoming more unfathomable!"


    Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh, his soul force retreating like tidewaters, returning into his own divine soul.


    At this time, Si Yin''s body recovered to that lithe and graceful appearance. Her gaze turned to look at Ye Yuan elegantly, feelings of gratitude needed no words.


    She was still leaning in Ye Yuan''s embrace, her posture indescribably ambiguous. She hurriedly straightened her body and was just about to give thanks to Ye Yuan, but her body suddenly turned stiff, feeling a prickle at her back.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "No need to care about him. He''s currently busy with retrieving the Slaughter Concepts. How would he have time to come and care about you?"


    Without even guessing, one would also know that Netherkill definitely noticed something. That was why he would sweep his gaze over.


    But just as Ye Yuan said, he was currently busy digesting the reclaimed Slaughter Concepts and had no time to spare for other things at all.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    People''s bodies exploded one by one. Netherkill''s aura became more and more terrifying.


    Very soon, the fiend emperors were actually completely killed off just like this.


    But Netherkill did not have the slightest intention of stopping. This time, it was the Exalts'' turn.


    A tragic scream sounded over. That Exalt who was the very first to be devilized directly exploded.


    Blazing Fire''s face revealed an expression of despair. His body already swelled up like a giant balloon at this time, looking on the verge of exploding.


    He never would have thought that the one to kill him, in the end, was actually Exalt Netherkill!


    "Y-Ye Yuan, save me! I-I know that you can save me! As long as you save me, I''ll promise you anything!" Blazing Fire barked at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Blazing Fire calmly and said with a smile, "Save you? You wanted to kill me time and again and still want this Little Lord, me, to save you? You''re thinking too much!"


    Blazing Fire knelt down with a thud and said to Ye Yuan, "I-I''m begging you! It was all me who had eyes but failed to see! I deserve death! I swear to the heaven, I absolutely won''t anymore in the future! I beg you, save ��"


    With a burst, the arrogant Blazing Fire exploded into minced meat just like that.


    Seeing this scene, Si Yin shuddered in fear.


    In these ten years, she and Blazing Fire and the rest schemed against each other. But now, he died like that in front of her. This made her unwittingly have a feeling of the fox mourning the death of the hare in her heart.


    "W-Why is it like this? I''ve never heard before that the Asura Sea would actually have such a thing! Who in the world is Exalt Netherkill?" Si Yin muttered.


    She was full of suspicions right now and totally did not understand everything that was happening in front of her.


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Then do you know why each time they entered the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, there would be Exalts dying? Don''t the Exalts get replaced by new ones a little too quickly?"


    Hearing these words, Si Yin was frightened inwardly and blurted out, "Could it be that �� they were all killed by Netherkill?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That might not be so. But how they die isn''t important. What''s important is that after they die, the Slaughter Concepts would definitely return to Netherkill there."


    Si Yin sucked in a cold breath. This way, wouldn''t they all be vessels for Netherkill to store and cultivate Slaughter Concept?


    At this time, that enormous vortex finally came to a standstill. Netherkill slowly floated down.


    The current Netherkill was already like a completely different person from before. Regardless whether was it strength or disposition, it all underwent an enormous change.


    The Netherkill in the past only looked a little older compared to the other Exalts. But at this very moment, his body gave off the air of a king, making people not dare to look directly.


    What made Si Yin surprised was that apart from him, there were actually still two Exalts completely unscathed.


    One of them was Exalt Coldblood, while the other was the Exalt Heavenly Hedonist who was in the same boat with Blazing Fire.


    Netherkill''s gaze looked at that bunch of fiend emperors coldly, his eyes had unspeakable contempt: "Are you all taking action yourselves, or making this Seat send you on your way?"


    The fiend emperors had just acquired fleshy bodies but were actually ruined by this one in front of them again. This made them incredibly gloomy.


    But as fiends, they would not fear humans at all.


    "What a joke! You think that you''re our match by destroying our fleshy bodies? You killed your own subordinates yourself. Now �� are you a match for so many of us?" a fiend emperor said with a cold sneer.


    Netherkill gave a cold snort and said, "Thick-headed things! Looks like you guys won''t shed tears until you see the coffin!"


    Netherkill was not seen to have any movements either. With a clink, his sword was unsheathed instantly. The piercingly cold killing intent virtually made people unable to open their eyes!


    "Extreme Dao Sword Kill!" When Ye Yuan saw Netherkill''s sword slash, he could not help slightly revealing a look of surprise too.


    This slash was none other than precisely the second level move in the Slaughter Sword Art which Ye Yuan acquired in the Asura Shop previously: Extreme Dao Sword Kill!


    But this move unleashing from Netherkill''s hands was much, much stronger compared to Ye Yuan!


    Netherkill absorbed the Slaughter Concepts of eight Exalts and so many slaughter generals. This supreme true intent''s degree of terror could be imagined.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Places the longsword passed through swept away all obstacles in the way, bringing out waves of miserable wails.


    Just one attack, the group of fiend emperors'' auras all dropped drastically. Although it did not kill with a single blow, they clearly suffered serious injuries.


    Although the fiend race was strong, they did not have undying bodies. When the damage they received reached a certain degree, they would still die.


    Those fiend shadows all cried out miserably endlessly. They clearly did not expect that Netherkill was actually powerful to such an extent.


    "Run! Quickly flee! This guy is too strong! In our current states, we''re not a match at all!"


    No idea who yelled out either. The group of fiend emperors turned around and wanted to flee outside.


    Netherkill gave a cold laugh and said coolly, "Escape? How can it be that easy!"


    Done talking, Netherkill unleashed another Extreme Dao Sword Kill!


    This time, the killing intent was even greater than before!


    At the same time, a surge of bizarre force suddenly descended. All of the fiend emperors'' figures all stagnated for that split second.


    Just this split-second claimed their lives!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "ARGHHH!"


    A series of tragic cries sounded over. It was just that those screams became softer and softer, and were finally gone.


    The group of fiend emperor powerhouses who had once commanded the ancient era was actually jointly slain by Netherkill and Ye Yuan just like this!


    Of course, if they were at their prime, forget about killing them, it was already pretty good for Netherkill to be able to escape.


    But they were suppressed for as long as 100 thousand years and were long arrows at the end of their flight.


    Netherkill slew a horde of fiend emperors but had no joy nor sorrow. His gaze swept towards Ye Yuan.

 924 Sikong Shang!

    "Ye Yuan, show your trump card! I want to see if you''re making an empty show of strength, or if you really have the ability to challenge this Seat!" Netherkill''s gaze stared at Ye Yuan with a glint.


    Along the way, the reason why Netherkill exercised forbearance in every possible way was naturally that he could not figure out Ye Yuan''s ace-in-the-hole.


    Now that he absorbed a large quantity of Slaughter Concept, his strength soared by a large margin. When facing Ye Yuan again, his confidence was also much greater.


    Ye Yuan also looked at Netherkill. A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth as he said coolly, "Should I call you Netherkill, or should I call you Sikong Shang?"


    The moment these words came out, the remaining three Exalts all had bewildered looks, but Exalt Netherkill''s breath clearly stifled.


    "The three of you, leave for the time being!" Netherkill said calmly.


    Exalt Coldblood and Exalt Heavenly Hedonist froze, but they still respectfully gave a bow towards Netherkill, saying, "Yes!"


    Si Yin had already viewed Ye Yuan as her lifesaver at this time. She was naturally unwilling to let him stay in such a dangerous place.


    "Ye Yuan ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No worries. I think that Exalt Netherkill won''t make things difficult for me, a junior, right?"


    Si Yin was still worried. But Ye Yuan already said it like this, she could not very well say anymore either. She could only leave this space too.


    After the three people left, Netherkill''s cold voice transmitted over, "Who are you?!"


    This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. He clearly only had a strength that did not reach Phaseless Realm, but even he, this Exalt, could not see through him.


    In these 30 thousand years, who knows how many martial artists had stepped into the Asura Arena. But there had never been anyone who was able to escape the Absolute Kill Token''s control.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Not only did Ye Yuan accomplish it himself, but he could also actually even help Si Yin remove the control. Such means was simply inconceivable.


    Netherkill was all too clear regarding the Absolute Kill Token. Once it was planted inside the martial artist''s divine soul, it would become one with the divine soul, unable to be separated at all.


    He was seriously unable to imagine how Ye Yuan did it.


    Ye Yuan looked at Netherkill and said with a smile, "Who am I isn''t important. What''s important is that this Chaotic Devil Sea is indeed being controlled by the Darkness Divine King! It''s just that I''m very curious, just what kind of existence the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, is!"


    Darkness Divine King, he is the most mysterious one among the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    In the entire Divine Realm, extremely few people had seen the Darkness Divine King before. If not for the Heaven''s Secret Tower announcing the Ten Great Divine Kings, probably only a handful of people in the world would know that there was still such an existence.


    Regarding where the Darkness Divine King was located, there were many varying opinions too.


    But among the Divine Realm''s upper echelons, the most popular guess was that the Darkness Divine King was the Chaotic Devil Sea''s hegemon!


    Regarding Sikong Shang this name, Ye Yuan had heard it from his father, Ji Zhengyang.


    There was barely anyone who knew this name in the entire Divine Realm.


    Netherkill mused and only said after quite some time, "I''m not the Darkness Divine King!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Of course I know that you''re not the Darkness Divine King in person. If the Darkness Divine King only had your strength, the Chaotic Devil Sea would have long been eradicated by people! How could the Chaotic Devil Sea be able to stand erect for as long as 30 thousand years in the Divine Realm? If I didn''t guess wrongly, you''re just one of Sikong Shang''s clone, managing the Asura Arena on his behalf and collecting Slaughter Concept, that''s all. What I''m curious about is that for 30 thousand years, was the Darkness Divine King Sikong Shang alone, or the name had been passed down for quite a number of generations?"


    Divine King Realm powerhouses, their longevity was from 10 thousand years to 15 thousand years. Logically speaking, it was impossible for one generation of Darkness Divine King to live for 30 thousand years.


    But the Chaotic Devil Sea had stood erect for 30 thousand years. During the period, people who had ideas about the Chaotic Devil Sea was probably not in the minority.


    If every generation of Darkness Divine King all had Ten Great Divine Kings'' strength, that was too terrifying.


    Such a legacy was too frightening!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Netherkill mused once more and only said after quite a while again, "No comments! Just what objectives do you have for entering the Chaotic Devil Sea?!"


    Very clearly, the things that Ye Yuan knew was much more than he imagined. Rather than denying it outright in front of Ye Yuan, better to remain tight-lipped.


    Although Netherkill''s voice was calm, the shock in his heart could not be any greater.


    The Chaotic Devil Sea had always been famous for being mysterious. Only the Divine Realm''s apex existences would know the tip of the iceberg of the Chaotic Devil Sea.


    But Ye Yuan was clearly just a roughly 20 year old youth. How did he know these secrets?!


    What made him even more shocked was that Ye Yuan actually said his name readily!


    Therefore, he must make clear Ye Yuan''s intentions for coming!


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "I only came for the Skandha Divine Stone. Now, the Skandha Divine Stone has already come into my possession, I won''t stay anymore either. We''ll meet again another day!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and was actually going to turn around and leave.


    "Humph! It''s also not out of the question if you want to leave, but you have to first prove whether you have the qualifications to leave or not!" Netherkill said at the back coldly.


    Ye Yuan turned around and said helplessly, "Everybody each mind their own business. The Chaotic Devil Sea''s secret, I''ll keep my mouth tight as a jar. Why do you have to force me to make a move?"


    It was not that Ye Yuan was conceited, but because Netherkill''s strength was too formidable. Once he made a move, he must flash his trumps cards.


    Ye Yuan''s trump cards were too outrageous. Unless there were no other alternatives, he did not wish to take them out.


    But looking at it now, Netherkill did not have the intention of letting him off.


    "Humph! Only dead men will keep their mouths tight as a jar!"


    Netherkill gave a cold snort. Extreme Dao Sword Kill was displayed once more! The might of Dao Profound Realm was what the present Ye Yuan could not withstand at all.


    The violent, murderous air was virtually materializing, locking onto Ye Yuan firmly, not giving him the slightest bit of opportunity at all.


    The reason why the Slaughter Sword Art claimed to be able to cultivate to rival the boundary of the Ten Great Divine Kings, because what one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, the Darkness Divine King used, was this martial technique!


    Therefore, the power of this sword move could be imagined!


    Under this sword, forget about a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist like Ye Yuan, even middle-stage Dao Profound Realm martial artists had absolutely no chance of survival too!


    But right at this moment, a huge pagoda suddenly appeared between the two people!


    Boom!


    A loud noise transmitted over. The unparalleled Extreme Dao Sword Kill cleaved directly on the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The Vast Heaven Pagoda actually did not budge an inch!


    "Divine artifact! No, wait, it''s a quasi-divine artifact! However, it''s only half a step away from divine artifact!" Netherkill said in fright.


    Netherkill''s eyes were excellent. He discerned the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s grade with just one glance.


    Although it was not a real divine artifact, the title of a quasi-divine artifact was already sufficiently shocking.


    Because in the present Divine Realm, nobody could refine quasi-divine artifacts at all!


    Over 100 thousand years ago, after Divine Dao dwindled to zero, only Fang Tian, this level of genius without peer in his generation, was able to refine the Vast Heaven Pagoda, such a quasi-divine artifact.


    Of course, the reason why the Vast Heaven Pagoda could succeed in refining was more importantly still because of the Vast Heaven Stele.


    If it was Ye Yuan controlling the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he naturally could not block Netherkill''s staggering blow. But if Long Teng was controlling, the situation was completely different.


    Long Teng obtained Long Zhan''s final soul force, plus the help of the Skandha Divine Stone, he already recovered 60-70% strength.


    This kind of strength, using it to block Netherkill''s attack was more than sufficient.


    Ye Yuan''s confidence lay here!


    "You see, I already said don''t fight, but you insist on fighting! Unless Sikong Shang comes in person, otherwise, you can''t make me stay!" Ye Yuan said coolly.

 925 Unexpected Chance Encounter

    After the shock, Netherkill''s heart was filled with indescribable greed!


    Facing a treasure like the Vast Heaven Pagoda, nobody would be unmoved.


    Even among the Ten Great Divine Kings, the weapons in their possession were at most transcendent-grade holy artifacts too. Quasi-divine artifact had never appeared before in these 100 thousand years.


    Now that a quasi-divine artifact actually appeared, Netherkill''s feelings of excitement could be imagined.


    "No wonder you had such confidence. Turns out that you actually have a quasi-divine artifact as your trump card! Except �� a quasi-divine artifact being placed in your hands is too much of a wanton waste of God''s good gifts!"


    The moment these words of Netherkill''s were said out loud, his entire person suddenly vanished. Boundless slaughter concept enveloped Ye Yuan inside.


    This was also one of the reasons why Ye Yuan was not willing to attack. The appearance of a quasi-divine artifact was too conspicuous. It was bound to stir up a sensation.


    When Netherkill saw the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he did not beat a retreat in the face of difficulties. Instead, it gave rise to feelings of greed, wanting to make it his own.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and directly entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    With Long Teng controlling it, he was not worried that Netherkill could do anything to him.


    Rumble ��


    Violent attacks smashed onto the Vast Heaven Pagoda without any blind angles. Yet, under the divine might of a quasi-divine artifact, Netherkill''s attacks were clearly somewhat falling short of his desires.


    Netherkill unleashed all of his skills but was completely unable to breach the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s defense.


    Although Netherkill absorbed a large amount of Slaughter Concept, the Vast Heaven Pagoda virtually had strength rivaling a Divine King under Long Teng''s control. For Netherkill to want to breach it''s defense was a totally impossible thing.


    "Netherkill, try peaceful means first before resorting to force! Looks like, you''re rejecting face when it''s given!"


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan snorted coldly.


    All of a sudden, the Vast Heaven Pagoda radiated with a brilliant splendor. The pagoda body expanded rapidly all at once, akin to a large mountain, crushing down on Netherkill.


    A lofty mountain blotted out the sky and covered the sun!


    When Netherkill saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically, wanting to shake off the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s suppression!


    However, the might of the Vast Heaven Pagoda was not so easy to cast off.


    He used all of the strength in his body before barely managing to shake off the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s suppression. Even so, the tremendous impact force still made him suffer heavy injuries!


    "Truly asking for trouble! I already said you can''t make me stay! Now, you and I each hold a secret of the other party. Count it as evening up the scores. Like this, can I go now?" Ye Yuan revealed his figure and said coolly.


    Crack!


    Under this suppression, Netherkill''s mask actually fragmented from it, becoming two halves and falling off.


    "En?"


    An elegant and handsome face in front of Ye Yuan. This face was actually somewhat familiar.


    But Ye Yuan who saw Netherkill''s true appearance, his brows knitted together.


    "Want to go? How can it be that easy? The original body already knows the news of you possessing a quasi-divine artifact. I''m afraid it''s already impossible for you to want to escape out of this Heavenly Slaughter Pit!" Netherkill said calmly.


    Regarding these words, it was as if Ye Yuan did not hear it at all. His attention was placed fully on that face.


    Very few things could make Ye Yuan so shocked. However, this face really made Ye Yuan astonished!


    He looked at Netherkill. His expression turned complicated to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan''s face revealed a bitter smile. Shaking his head, he said with a sigh, "Really didn''t expect it! Really didn''t expect! This dogfart heaven really likes to play jokes on people!"


    When Netherkill saw Ye Yuan''s appearance, he could not help having a bewildered look.


    "Leave behind the quasi-divine artifact, and then maybe �� the original body will give you a slim chance of survival!" Netherkill warned.


    Ye Yuan looked at this face of Netherkill''s and said despondently, "Looks like you already don''t have a shred of your own consciousness already! Yeah, you already became a clone of Sikong Shang, how can you possibly have your own consciousness?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Netherkill said in confusion, "What on earth are you talking about? Do you think that the original body will let you off like this?"


    Ye Yuan did not speak. Raising his hand, it was an extremely orthodox Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art!


    When Netherkill saw this scene, he said scornfully, "A martial technique unleashed using true intent. Are you insulting me?"


    Netherkill casually waved a hand and instantly turned Ye Yuan''s attack into nothing.


    Ye Yuan did not show a surprised expression. Instead, he sighed and said, "Looks like you really don''t have any memories at all! You Wuya, oh, You Wuya, to think that you were a genius in your lifetime too. I didn''t expect that you were reduced to such an end! Sikong Shang, looks like our grudge is considered sowed!"


    Talking towards the back, Ye Yuan actually revealed killing intent!


    That''s right, this Exalt Netherkill in front of him was none other than precisely the founder of the Tranquil Cloud Sect, You Wuya!


    Ye Yuan was also curious back then. Such a figure with boundless talent, why was his reputation non-existent after reaching the Divine Realm?


    He never would have thought that You Wuya actually fell in the Asura Arena, and became a clone of the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang!


    There were really no stories without coincidences. Ye Yuan never would have thought that after You Wuya ascended, he actually came to the Asura Arena and became an Exalt here.


    Back then, the Tranquil Cloud Sect had the statue of Founding Ancestor You Wuya. He was completely identical with this Exalt Netherkill in front of him.


    Except, although the face was the same, the person was already not the same person.


    Even though Ye Yuan had not met You Wuya before, it was still thanks to You Wuya that he was able to comprehend a supreme true intent. Between the two people, there could be said to be the reality of master-apprentice.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan had very deep feelings towards the Tranquil Cloud Sect. Now that You Wuya was actually refined into a puppet by someone, the fury in his heart could be imagined.


    Although it was a common occurrence for geniuses to perish, when You Wuya reached the Divine Realm, he was merely one of the most ordinary members. But this sort of thing happened to him. He could not accept it, no matter what.


    "You''re not making any sense!" Netherkill said with a bemused look.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a sigh, "End it like this today! But you tell Sikong Shang, there will come a day when I''ll come and find him to settle this score!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around and wanted to walk outside.


    The present Ye Yuan''s strength was too weak!


    Although Ye Yuan could suppress Netherkill with the Vast Heaven Pagoda, if facing the Darkness Divine King''s main body, he did not have a glimmer of probability for success.


    The horror of the Ten Great Divine Kings, only the characters standing at the apex of the Divine Realm could understand!


    Saying they were divine kings, actually, the Ten Great Divine Kings were already far detached from the category of divine kings!


    Under the prerequisite that there were no Deity Realm powerhouses, the Ten Great Divine Kings could be rated as invincible existences.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, facing the existence of the Ten Great Divine Kings was certain death!


    Netherkill looked at Ye Yuan''s departing back view and actually did not chase after. He knew that even if he chased after, he could not keep Ye Yuan behind either.


    However, the original body was already at the final juncture. Could it be that he was going to helplessly watch Ye Yuan bring the quasi-divine artifact and leave just like this?


    Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred, passing through to the Myriad Devil Ridge.


    Coldblood, Heavenly Hedonist, as well as Si Yin and the rest were all waiting outside.


    "Haha, Big Brother, you''re indeed incredible ��" An Ren boot-licking was licked halfway when he suddenly noticed that the expression on Ye Yuan''s face was not quite right.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s expression was actually not that calm and collected appearance, but a face that wanted to kill people.


    Such a Ye Yuan, it was still An Ren''s first time seeing.


    Rumble ��


    Right then, thick dark clouds suddenly billowed in the horizons. A gigantic black palm directly pierced through the void, surging forward towards Ye Yuan here!

 926 Will Be Sure to Return It Someday!

    This palm seemed like a world-destroying palm; blotting out the sky and covering the sun, with boundless might!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Even if it was still at the distant horizon, everyone here already felt the terror of this palm.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The scattered rocks on the Myriad Devil Ridge were directly crushed to dust.


    For some time, sand and stone were flung all around, rock debris flying through the air. The entire land seemed to be trembling.


    Everyone dare not imagine what kind of sight it would be after this palm landed.


    "This palm is too terrifying! Could it be �� a Deity Realm powerhouse?"


    "N-No way, right? This palm landing is an apocalyptic calamity! What kind of existence did Boss Ye provoke?"


    "Could it be that we disturbed an old monster slumbering in the Heavenly Slaughter Pit? The power of this palm is also too terrifying, right?"


    Si Yin''s slaughter generals sensed an incredible threat, all crying out in shock.


    "Kicking up a fuss over nothing! If Deity Realm powerhouses only have this bit of strength, they can find a piece of tofu to go commit suicide with! Damn Sikong Shang, you really think that you''ve stumped your Grandpa Ye?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan leaped up and actually charged towards that enormous palm.


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help being tongue-tied.


    Although Ye Yuan''s aura was imposing, under the terrifying might of the gigantic palm, it seemed so insignificant.


    Everyone could even feel that Ye Yuan was going to be pulverized to dust by the gigantic palm in the next instant.


    The huge palm came closer and closer, oppressing the entire space terrifyingly.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Si Yin''s slaughter generals'' strengths were lacking. Being overwhelmed by the palm force, they directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    At this rate, there was no need for the huge palm to land at all, they would all be utterly crushed to death.


    Under this palm, they did not have the slightest strength to resist at all!


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. The Sacred Dragon Token already arrived in his hand at goodness knows when.


    At this very moment, there was no way he could conceal his strength anymore.


    Even if divine essence was any more precious, forfeiting his life, it was also futile.


    With Sikong Shang attacking personally, the might of this palm was simply too terrifying!


    The terror of the Ten Great Divine Kings, ordinary people were completely unable to imagine it. Back then, just the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s one move, Nine Suns Burning Heaven, slaughtered dozens of divine king powerhouses.


    This level of strength was simply daunting until it made people despair.


    If not for so, how could the Ten Great Divine Kings be so revered by the Divine Realm''s martial artists?


    Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, was the most mysterious one among the Ten Great Divine Kings. Outsiders simply had no way of finding out his strength.


    But no matter how poor his strength was, it also would not be much worse off compared to the Spirit Bristle Divine King.


    Although this palm was only unleashed across space by him and the power was not even 1% of his absolute height of power, the aura had already locked onto Ye Yuan from far away long ago.


    Such a palm, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to block it.


    "Quickly run! If we''re still here, we''ll be affected by it!" Si Yin shouted.


    Even if Si Yin did not speak, they would not dare to stay anymore either. They each displayed their movement techniques, wanting to escape far away from the heart of the storm.


    Rumble!


    The huge palm became closer and closer. The land actually cracked inch by inch under the power of this palm. The area within a radius of ten thousand miles actually had a massive crater struck out under this palm!


    Seeing this scene, Shao Kai and the rest all opened their mouths wide, unable to close their mouths for a long time.


    In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, could there still be people with such horrifying strength?


    They could not help looking at the Ye Yuan in midair, simply unable to imagine that he could actually still maintain standing in the air under such a palm.


    If it were them, they would have probably been long smashed into minced meat already.


    Even so, Ye Yuan was still pressed down by this palm.


    He was already unable to advance an inch further anymore. Conversely, he was directly pressed down towards the ground by the huge palm''s power.


    "A palm like this, how can it possibly be blocked? Boss Ye is �� in danger this time!"


    Not that An Ren did not view Ye Yuan favorably, but that this palm was seriously too powerful already.


    Boom!


    The huge palm pressed down suddenly, directly crushing Ye Yuan into the ground!


    The surface of the ground directly had a massive deep pit pressed out by the massive hand. The people were unable to imagine that Ye Yuan who was situated in the heart of the storm could still survive!


    "Heh heh, Ye Yuan this brat was so arrogant. This time, Master personally took action and he actually still dared to resist. With this, he''s deader than dead, right?" Coldblood laughed mockingly as he said; his words had unspeakable ridicule.


    "Master''s strength, outsiders simply cannot imagine it! Under this palm, there are absolutely no intact eggs! Ye Yuan this brat was cocky throughout the journey. He finally received retribution!" Heavenly Hedonist also concurred.


    The two of them had both suffered considerable losses at Ye Yuan''s hands. Most importantly, Ye Yuan was clearly only Heaven Enlightenment Realm, but his strength was terrifyingly powerful.


    Even if they wanted to take revenge, they had the heart but were lacking in strength too.


    Now that their master personally took action, they were naturally incomparably excited.


    "En? What''s going on?"


    All of a sudden, Coldblood''s expression changed.


    They sensed that a frightening aura was currently welling up from underneath the earth. That enormous black palm was actually showing signs of unsteadiness under this aura!


    Boom!


    A scorching ray of light shot up towards the skies from under the huge hand, directly shattering the massive black palm. After that, it carried an unparalleled aura and charged straight for the horizons, speeding like the wind in the direction the gigantic palm came from.


    That was an azure-colored huge dragon soaring above the nine heavens. That image was too shocking!


    In a blink of an eye, the huge dragon disappeared!


    "En?"


    The Sikong Shang at the extreme recesses of the Heavenly Slaughter Pit suddenly sensed a terrifying surge of aura spreading over following his gigantic palm!


    His brows furrowed, but he stood up from meditation.


    "Roar!"


    The enormous dragon shuttled through space, directly arriving in front of him.


    Sikong Shang''s expression changed, but he lightly tapped a finger out, instantly erupting with a terrifying essence energy undulation.


    Boom!


    The enormous dragon scattered and disappeared with a loud bang under this finger.


    Yet, Sikong Shang''s expression was very ugly. His gaze could not help looking over towards the abyss not far away.


    It was only to see a terrifying aura indistinctly transmit out from the depths of the abyss. It was as if there was something that was startled.


    "I didn''t expect that this brat is actually carrying the dragon race''s divine artifact! Once this matter is settled, it looks like there''s a need to take a trip outside!"


    As he said, he looked in the direction of the abyss again and said with a frown, "That fellow was startled, how troublesome! Now, I have to expend much more effort for no good reason again! This punk is seriously detestable!"


    ...


    Inside the deep pit pressed out by the huge hand, Ye Yuan slowly crawled up, the clothing on his body already in tattered scraps. His aura was also very disorderly.


    But when Coldblood and Heavenly Hedonist saw this scene, their blood ran cold, not daring to even breathe heavily.


    Divine artifact!


    It was absolutely the might of a divine artifact!


    Ye Yuan actually had a genuine divine artifact in his hands!


    What was even scarier was that Ye Yuan could actually unleash the true power of a divine artifact. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to survive under this palm of their master!


    The two people exchanged a glance, both reading the incomparably shocked expression in the other party''s eyes.


    There was a ripple in space. The Exalt Netherkill wearing black clothing finally came out from that space.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Tell Sikong Shang, today''s palm, I''ll be sure to return it one day!"

 927 Engaging in Contest on the Stree

    In Great Xiang Region, there were two cities famous throughout the Divine Realm: Vastsun City and Bright Moon City.


    These two great cities were both Rank One Holy Lands. Their strength was tremendous. But the distance between these two cities was merely 10 thousand miles away.


    This distance, Phaseless Realm experts could travel more than a dozen times within half a day.


    Although these two cities each governed several major territories, the two cities were extremely close apart.


    The Zhou Family and Yue Family, these two families, had already had God knows how many years of legacy. They had always been like birds of a feather. These two families were united in marriage for generations. Their relationship was also intricate and complex.


    Legend has it that these two families'' ancestors produced Deity Realm powerhouses before. Their foundations were extremely deep. But later on, because their bloodline gradually thinned, they declined little by little.


    Of course, even so, once the two great families joined hands, they were an extremely terrifying existence too.


    Even Super Holy Lands were not willing to overly offend these two families'' teaming up either.


    At this moment, on a street in Bright Moon City, there were two young people, a man and a woman, who were currently strolling around and sightseeing.


    The girl looked all around and strolled everywhere. But her interest was not very high, while the guy did not talk either. He just slowly followed by the girl''s side.


    Suddenly, the girl seemed to have thought of something and ran over to hug the young man''s arm, saying affectionately, "Big Brother, tell you something, I ran into a youngster when I was at the Yi Sea City. His age was roughly around mine too, but his Formations Dao strength is probably even above yours! Back then, the super transmission array was spoiled. It was he, who finished repairing it single-handedly! I''m afraid, your title of number two genius in the Formations Path will have to change owners!"


    The young man did not show a visibly moved expression on his face. He just said indifferently, "Just repairing a super transmission array. It isn''t something of a big deal. In the entire Divine Realm, our Dawn Heavenly Palace''s Ding Clan admitting to be number three, absolutely nobody dares to admit to be number two! Among the young generation, apart from Zheng Xie, I, Ding Shuo, fear no one! Shiyu, stop racking your brain in vain. When Bright Moon City''s matters are settled, you''ll follow me back to Dawn Heavenly Palace obediently. You''re not allowed to go anywhere!"


    This brother and sister pair were actually the Ding Clan brother and sister born in the Super Holy Land, Dawn Heavenly Palace! That Ding Shiyu was precisely that girl Ye Yuan encountered back then at the Yi Sea City.


    The Dawn Heavenly Palace''s Ding Clan''s Formations Dao strength was illustrious in the entire Divine Realm too. They were fully deserving of being the number two in the world!


    Number one was naturally the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng, of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Before Lu Linfeng came roaring into existence, the Ding Clan''s Formations Dao strength had always been the Divine Realm''s pinnacle existence.


    And the Zheng Xie out of Ding Shuo''s mouth was none other than precisely Lu Linfeng''s head disciple!


    Hearing Ding Shuo''s words, Ding Shiyu pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Humph! Arrogant fellow! Grandfather frequently says that there is always someone better, and heavens beyond heavens. We mustn''t be arrogant and conceited! I think you didn''t listen to his words at all!"


    Ding Shuo glanced at Ding Shiyu and said nonchalantly, "Grandfather said this because he met the Grand Yan Divine King! And I have never been arrogant and conceited! At least, with Zheng Xie around, I''ll never be conceited!"


    Ding Shiyu flung off her big brother''s arm and said with a disdainful look, "Stinking big brother, you''re arrogant! I dare say that that young man''s Formations Dao strength definitely isn''t inferior to yours! I really hope that you meet him in the Bright Moon Competition, after that �� humph humph!"


    This time, Ding Shuo did not refute.


    He was utterly disdainful to refute!


    The Ding Clan had a foundation of profound learning inherited for generations. In terms of foundation depths, even the Grand Yan Divine King could not compare either!


    This Divine Realm, only one Grand Yan Divine King appear in these 100 thousand years too.


    After the Grand Yan Divine King, Ding Shuo believed that the Ding Family would climb to the peak anew! His life-long rival, Zheng Xie, he would definitely trample underfoot.


    His grandfather lost to the Grand Yan Divine King. This humiliation needed him, Ding Shuo, to wash away!


    As for this punk who repaired the super transmission array, he did not take it to heart at all.


    Long ago when he was at Tier 7, he could already repair Tier 9 array formations! The present Ding Shuo, his strength was even more unfathomable.


    What was amazing about repairing a transmission array?


    He did not deny that the Divine Realm had many Formations Dao genius. But he, Ding Shuo, was the strongest genius!


    "Ah! H-H-He ��"


    Ding Shiyu suddenly cried out, using a finger to point in a direction.


    Ding Shuo followed the direction his younger sister pointed at and looked over, and saw a 20 plus-year-old youth, bringing a group of people currently walking on the streets.


    "You''re saying that he''s that person you were talking about earlier?" Ding Shuo said rather surprisedly.


    Ding Shiyu nodded and said, "That''s right! He''s called Ye Yuan!"


    Ding Shuo swept a glance over Ye Yuan, then lost interest: "A brat who isn''t even at Phaseless Realm is actually lusting after swan flesh too, what a joke."


    But Ding Shiyu''s eyes swiveled around at this time; a scheme developed!


    Only to see her figure move, instantly dashing out several hundred feet away, fleeing in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    Then, with a bang, Ding Shiyu actually seemed to have directly collided into a wall and was no longer able to advance anymore.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Ouch!"


    Ding Shiyu winced in pain, smashing until a lump came into her throat, tears about to fall down. She could not help letting out a pitiful cry and fell over onto the ground.


    Ding Shuo said coolly, "You can''t escape. Stop racking your head in vain!"


    Who knew that Ding Shiyu did not care at all. She suddenly shrieked at the top of her voice, "Ye Yuan, help! Ye Yuan, help!"


    Ye Yuan heard someone calling him and could not help turning his head to look. He recognized Ding Shiyu with one glance, and his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    He and Ding Shiyu were only chance acquaintances. But Ding Shiyu was clearly being put on a spot by someone at this time. Making him to look on with folded arms, he could not do it.


    The Ye Yuan who did not know the inside story chose to attack immediately!


    When Ding Shuo saw that Ye Yuan really attacked, his expression involuntarily darkened. He sped towards Ding Shiyu with a large stride forward, wanting to restrain Ding Shiyu first.


    At the same time, his two hands were like phantom images. He actually condensed an array formation en route!


    Such a level of attainment aroused a wave of applause from the onlookers.


    "This young man has such formidable Formations Dao attainments! Just this one move already has the air of a master!"


    "Do you not recognize? This boy is Dawn Heavenly Palace''s Ding Family''s Formations Dao genius, Ding Shuo. That young man only has peak Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment strength. He actually dares to get into a conflict with him. Isn''t that seeking death?"


    "Heh heh, there''s a good show to watch now! Now that geniuses have gathered in Bright Moon City, such spectacles will probably happen often!"


    Ye Yuan was several thousand feet away from Ding Shiyu. Ding Shuo was only several hundred feet away from Ding Shiyu.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s dashing speed was extremely fast and actually reached first despite moving later!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces changed. They did not think that this unassuming Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat''s speed was actually so fast.


    When Ding Shuo saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly as he said, "So what if your speed is fast? Aren''t you still going to meet with a rebuff?!"


    At the same time, his array formation already condensed and formed!


    Ding Shuo was extremely confident in his Formations Dao attainments. He believed that by relying on this array formation, he was absolutely able to make Ye Yuan suffer a huge loss!


    To dare meddle in the Ding Family''s affairs was simply looking for a thrashing!


    Yet, in the next instant, he was utterly stunned.


    Ye Yuan actually disregarded his array formation, directly passing through from inside his array formation!

 928 Far Too Lacking!

    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan grabbed Ding Shiyu and left with a flash.


    Ding Shuo had a dumbfounded look and could not help being stupefied where he stood, looking at this scene in a daze.


    As the Ding Family''s future sect master, Ding Shuo had always thought highly of himself and was extremely confident in his Formations Dao!


    At least among the junior generation, no one was able to contend with him in Formations Dao at all.


    Furthermore, he could sufficiently contend with any genius martial artist by relying on Formations Dao attainments.


    But the scene that happened earlier was seriously too demoralizing!


    The array formation he set up actually could not cause the least bit of hindrance to Ye Yuan, as if it was thin air!


    This �� How was this possible?


    Ding Shiyu being held in Ye Yuan''s arms, her gaze looked at Ye Yuan, extremely idolizing him. Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao strength was indeed much stronger than Big Brother''s!


    Although she said so earlier, she actually did not really think that Ye Yuan was more formidable than Big Brother in her heart.


    However, she did not expect that Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao strength was actually so frightening. The array formation Big Brother laid down, he actually directly disregarded it!


    Upon landing Ding Shiyu hastily pulled Ye Yuan and left: "Quickly go, quickly go! If we don''t go now, he''s going to capture me!"


    But Ye Yuan was ignorant of the inside story and even thought that Ding Shuo was a lecher who abducted Ding Shiyu.


    Ding Shiyu wanted to drag him away, but he refused to leave, saying indifferently, "No worries, with me around, nobody can capture you."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s presence of mind, Ding Shiyu became anxious instead. Dragging Ye Yuan, she said, "He''s not alone. There are still experts who are going to arrive very soon. If we still don''t go, it will be too late!"


    Ye Yuan had not spoken yet when Ding Shuo already came back to his senses at this time.


    He actually somewhat turned anger from embarrassment at this time. With a wave of a hand, a lantern actually appeared in his hand.


    Only to see him suddenly pour in large amounts of essence energy into the lantern. That lantern immediately released a dazzling light.


    Ye Yuan pushed lightly, pushing Ding Shiyu to Si Yin''s side and opened his mouth, "Help me take care of her!"


    In a twinkle, the light condensed and formed into a terrifying array formation, shutting Ye Yuan inside.


    "That''s the Dawn Heavenly Palace''s Ding Family''s top-grade holy artifact, Myriad Net Magic Lantern! It''s said that the Ding Family''s old ancestor imprinted ten types of Tier 9 array formations into the lantern with great magic powers. As long as one used essence energy to deploy, they could release them. It''s a top-notch holy artifact of the formation path!"


    The moment this lantern appeared, someone immediately recognized it.


    Lantern-shaped magic artifacts were too easy to recognize. Furthermore, this Myriad Net Magic Lantern was extremely famous. The moment it appeared, it stirred up a wave of commotion,


    They all did not expect that the Ding Family actually placed such a formidable top-grade holy artifact in the hands of a young junior.


    When Ding Shiyu saw this sight, her expression could not help changing drastically too. She did not expect that her big brother was actually for real, deploying the Myriad Net Magic Lantern, and could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.


    She was just about to open her mouth, but saw Si Yin lightly patted her shoulder, saying with a light smile, "Relax, Ye Yuan will be fine."


    Si Yin had witnessed before Ye Yuan''s means. Even the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, could not do anything to him. How could a Ding Family''s junior trap him?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    When they witnessed Ye Yuan''s means back then, the group of people including Si Yin were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    Ye Yuan was actually in possession of a divine artifact!


    That was a divine artifact!


    After the group of people came out from the Chaotic Devil Sea, they signed a soul contract with Ye Yuan, serving Ye Yuan as their master. Ye Yuan removed the Absolute Kill Token''s control on Shao Kai and their bodies too.


    They all saw the Sacred Dragon Token in Ye Yuan''s hands. Even if they did not do so, Ye Yuan would not possibly let them leave either.


    Divine artifacts were of utmost importance. Ye Yuan did not wish for news to leak out. As for the Chaotic Devil Sea there, Ye Yuan was not worried.


    Sikong Shang''s original body was unable to come out definitely because of some special circumstances. And he knew that Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in possession, he definitely would not spread it. Otherwise, how would he seize the divine artifact from Ye Yuan''s hands?


    Exiting the Chaotic Devil Sea, Ye Yuan rushed to Bright Moon City right away.


    Calculating according to the time, Yue Mengli''s time was likely running out. If he did not come, Yue Mengli would die beyond a doubt.


    "But ��" Ding Shiyu panicked and still wanted to go and make her big brother stop.


    However, it was already too late. The array formation already activated. Ding Shuo was clearly truly enraged, wanting to rely on this array formation to kill Ye Yuan.


    "Tsk tsk, Tier 9 array formation! A high-rank Tier 8 array master actually laid down a Tier 9 array formation! That boy is in danger now!"


    "Looking at this array formation''s appearance, it should be the Ding Family''s Tier 9 grand array, Jadelight Extreme Shadow Formation. That is an extremely powerful killing array. This boy could have pissed anyone off, but he just had to mess with the Ding Family''s Ding Shuo. Isn''t this courting death?"


    "I heard that the Ding Family''s old ancestor relied on this set of array formation to compete in magic powers with the Grand Yan Divine King. In the end, he was only slightly inferior too. This boy is probably going to suffer a great deal!"


    There were quite a few people who recognized the goods among the onlookers, saying out the origins of the Jadelight Extreme Shadow Formation readily.


    Back then, when the Ding Family''s old ancestor just entered the Divine King Realm, he relied on this set of array formation to battle in magic powers with Lu Linfeng before. The result naturally could be imagined.


    Except, the power of this set of array formation was beyond all doubt.


    Using it to deal with a Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat, wasn''t the outcome be capturing with ease?


    Yet, the Ye Yuan inside the grand array was incomparably calm, as if this horrifying Tier 9 grand array was like air.


    "A measly Jadelight Extreme Shadow Formation, if Ding Zhanguo came to deploy it, I''d really be somewhat fearful. But as for you �� still far too lacking!" Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    The moment these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Where did this boy come from? Not scared of twisting his tongue when talking big?!


    Who was Ding Zhanguo? That was the Ding Family''s old ancestor!


    Making the Ding Family''s old ancestor personally deploy a Tier 9 array formation to deal with a Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat, wasn''t it using a butcher''s knife to kill a chicken?


    How could they know that Ji Qingyun''s attainments in the Formations Dao in his past life already did not lose out to Ding Zhanguo by much!


    In Formations Dao, apart from Lu Linfeng, there really were no more than a handful able to harm him.


    Even if Ding Zhanguo was a little stronger than him, wanting to use array formations to kill Ye Yuan was virtually something impossible.


    And in this life, Ye Yuan''s attainments in Formations Dao improved a step further. If he could reach the Divine King Realm, Ding Zhanguo would probably not be his match anymore!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan saying these words did not have any elements of exaggerating at all. He was just stating a fact.


    Ding Shuo''s expression was also incredibly ugly. He berated furiously, "Insolence! Is Grandfather''s name what you can say directly without honorifics? I originally just wanted to teach you a good lesson. Looks like not showing you a thing or two properly, you really don''t know how the word death is written!"


    Ding Shuo''s essence energy urged. The Jadelight Extreme Shadow Formation suddenly activated. Pale-yellow profound light suddenly ran amok, barreling towards Ye Yuan!


    A hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. His figure started swaying bizarrely!


    His footwork was extremely profound, leaving the audience wholly enraptured.


    After ten breaths, Ye Yuan actually already exited the grand array by some means somehow!


    Although the Jadelight Extreme Shadow Formation was extremely powerful, with Ding Shuo''s strength, even if he deployed the Myriad Net Magic Lantern, he could not unleash 1% of this grand array''s power.


    Using it to deal with Ye Yuan was still too early!


    When Ding Shuo saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically, as he said in shock, "This �� How is this possible?"

 929 Donst Be an Eyesore Here

    "Humph! Abducting people on the streets. Have Ding Zhanguo''s descendants already fallen into such a mess?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan suddenly slashed a sword out. Violent killing intent instantly locked onto Ding Shuo.


    This move was precisely the first stance of the Slaughter Sword Art that Ye Yuan acquired at the Chaotic Devil Sea: the Killing Song of the Sword!


    Ye Yuan''s Slaughter Concept already reached the level of great circle of six stars. Coupled with the Killing Song of the Sword, this level of profound martial technique, the power could not be underestimated.


    Ding Shuo was still in shock currently. Suddenly seeing Ye Yuan attack, it was already too late to want to set up a formation.


    Seeing this scene, Ding Shiyu could not help being horrified as she screamed, "Ye Yuan, don''t! That''s my big brother!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he secretly cursed inwardly. But the sword qi already arrived in front of Ding Shuo.


    "Ahh!" Ding Shiyu closed her eyes painfully, not daring to watch the scene that followed next.


    Right then, a beam of light descended from the sky and instantly arrived in front of Ding Shuo, colliding together with Ye Yuan''s Killing Song of the Sword.


    This ray of brilliance was extremely powerful. It actually annihilated the Killing Song of the Sword instantaneously.


    The hairs on Ding Shuo''s entire body broke into goosebumps. His legs involuntarily turned soft, and he almost plopped down onto the ground.


    In the air, a middle-aged man stood in high up in the air, the gaze he looked at Ye Yuan with was very unfriendly. He said in a solemn voice, "Junior, you dare to murder people on the streets. Do you not have any respect for my Yue Family?"


    Ye Yuan was originally still rejoicing that this person saved Ding Shuo and that he did not cause a blunder. But the other party''s words made Ye Yuan greatly enraged.


    Saying these words was obviously being partial to Ding Shuo. This was clearly bullying that Ye Yuan did not have a background.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, and he opened his mouth and said, "Yue Family? Who does the Yue Family think they are!"


    That middle-aged man''s expression turned cold. Powerful Dao Profound Realm pressure instantly cloaked downwards, wanting to put pressure on Ye Yuan.


    "What an unbridled punk! To actually dare be so insolent in my Bright Moon City! Do you really think that this emperor doesn''t dare to do anything to you?"


    The other martial artists immediately felt their bodies weigh down. This pressure crushed them until they could not breathe.


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s expression was calm in the midst of his pressure. It was as if nothing had happened at all.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Enough crap! If you have the capabilities, just bring it on! This bit of paltry skills still can''t do anything to your Grandpa Ye!"


    The middle-aged man did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had no response to his cultivation realm pressure at all. The expression on his face involuntarily became even uglier.


    "Stinking brat, I''ll take you down first, then tear that mouth of yours. See if you''re still able to be so cocky or not!"


    The middle-aged man was provoked by Ye Yuan until he was smoldering with rage and was about to make a move.


    Ding Shiyu seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly blocked in front of Ye Yuan, and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Yunfeng, please calm your anger. This incident is a misunderstanding, it was all Shiyu''s fault. Uncle Yunfeng, please don''t make things difficult for Ye Yuan. He �� He did it all to help me, t-that''s why he attacked Big Brother."


    Ding Shiyu put on a bold face at this time too. Regardless whether it was Ding Shuo''s side, or Ye Yuan behind, these two gazes were like two thorns, pricking at her body.


    She wanted to borrow Ye Yuan''s strength to shake Ding Shuo off earlier. But she did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength greatly exceeded her imagination, nearly breeding a great calamity.


    Recalling it at this time, Ding Shiyu was filled with lingering fear after the event too. If not for Yue Yunfeng making it in time, Ding Shuo would have already become a deal soul under Ye Yuan''s sword at this time. Then she would probably never forgive herself in this lifetime.


    When Ding Shiyu came forward, Yue Yunfeng could not help stopping in his tracks.


    He was indeed looking on account of the Dawn Heavenly Palace''s face earlier, that was why he had scornful words and jeering sneers towards Ye Yuan.


    The Dawn Heavenly Palace was a super holy land. Their strength was far from what Bright Moon City could match. And the Ding Family line''s status in the Dawn Heavenly Palace was transcendent. The Ding Family''s brother and sister, their statuses could be imagined as well.


    When Yue Yunfeng rushed here, he instinctively thought that Ye Yuan only came to blows with Ding Shuo for the Ding Shiyu''s sake.


    Except, he did not think that Ding Shiyu would actually step forward to speak on Ye Yuan''s behalf.


    With this, his existence appeared extremely awkward.


    "Humph! Even so, he made impertinent remarks towards my Yue Family! It''s hard to escape punishment too!" Yue Yunfeng said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan pushed Ding Shiyu aside and said with a cold smile, "This Young Master, I, want to take a look at how you''re planning on punishing me!"


    Ding Shiyu did not expect that Ye Yuan was so unwavering, not lowering his head in the slightest when facing a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse, and could not help panicking inwardly.


    Ye Yuan made a move all for her sake. She could not watch Ye Yuan get captured by the Yue Family no matter what!


    "Ye Yuan, can''t you say a word or two less?" Ding Shiyu pulled Ye Yuan and winked continuously


    Yet, Ye Yuan shot her a fierce glare and said crossly, "Our business, we''ll settle in a while! Right now, go to one side for me!"


    Ye Yuan usually did not cause trouble, but he never feared to get into trouble before either!


    If he really fell out with the Yue Family, worst comes to worst, he would stir up a storm in Bright Moon City. Who was afraid of whom!?


    "Hahaha! Good! Truly, heroes come from among the youngsters! This emperor wants to take a look today at how much capability you, this child, have!"


    Yue Yunfeng laughed wildly. His eyes suddenly shot wide open. An invisible attack directly shot into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    "It''s the Moonlight Heavenly Eye! Although Yue Yunfeng''s Moonlight Heavenly Eye bloodline is thin, unleashing it with his Dao Profound Realm strength, it can absolutely directly exterminate that brat!"


    "Moonlight Heavenly Eye, that is an extremely terrifying divine soul attack. It''s simply impossible to guard against!"


    "This boy is truly steadfast, to actually dare provoke the Yue Family. Although he has some means, he''s bringing about his own destruction!"


    Even members of the Yue Family might not be able to awaken the Moonlight Heavenly Eye bloodline. For Yue Yunfeng to be able to awaken the bloodline, he was clearly a genius figure in the Yue Family.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Except, such an attack was simply child''s play to Ye Yuan.


    "You �� How can you be fine?" Yue Yunfeng said in disbelief.


    Yue Yunfeng''s certain kill attack actually did not have any effect on Ye Yuan at all. This made his countenance change drastically.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Yunfeng with a smile that was not a smile, and said tauntingly, "Moonlight Heavenly Eye, is it? Your bloodline power is too thin. Want to kill me with just this bit of degree of ocular power? You''re too naive!"


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with eyes like they were looking at a freak. This brat was seriously too abnormal!


    Yue Yunfeng was a well-known figure among the Yue Family''s third generation. He stepped into the Second Level Dao Profound Realm at a young age. Coupled with the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, his strength approached Third Level Dao Profound.


    But now, he unleashed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye and actually could not do anything to a Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat. This was also too nonsensical!


    Yue Yunfeng''s expression changed, and he said, "Could it be that �� you have a divine soul attack blocking top-grade holy artifact on you?"


    Top-grade holy artifacts that blocked divine soul attacks were very seldom-seen and also very precious. But what Yue Yunfeng did not know was that Ye Yuan''s treasure was much more valuable compared to some top-grade holy artifact.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was something that even Fiendgod Jia Lan was exceedingly fearful of. How could it be what top-grade holy artifacts could compare to?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Stop making wild guesses. With your strength, this Young Master, I, still don''t take it seriously at all! Now, scram further away for this little lord. Don''t be an eyesore here!"

 930 Even More Unreasonable

    Yue Yunfeng was angered until his face was livid with rage. In Bright Moon City, there had never been anyone who dared to be so arrogant before.


    This place was clearly Bright Moon City, but Ye Yuan actually reversed the roles of host and guest, making Yue Yunfeng get lost.


    Everyone was speechless. This Ye Yuan was simply an example of being conceited and insolent on account of his ability. Relying on that he had some capability, he actually did not place even the Yue Family in his sights.


    Geniuses like this would often suffer a great deal.


    "Good! Very good! A measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm is actually rampant to such an extent! Really bullying that my Yue Family has no one!"


    Indeed, Yue Yunfeng was truly infuriated this time. He actually took out a talisman and ignited it with essence energy.


    Whoosh!


    An ear-piercing sound rang out. That talisman actually flew up high in the air and combusted.


    This combustion was extremely eye-catching. It clearly sent out a signal.


    Seeing this scene, Ding Shiyu''s expression could not help changing greatly. This time, the matter had really gotten out of hand.


    She only did not wish to return home at first but did not expect that things would end up in such a state.


    "Ye Yuan, quickly leave! The Yue Family is powerful and influential. They are not people you can resist!" Ding Shiyu hurriedly said.


    Yue Yunfeng sneered coldly when he saw the situation and said, "Brat, don''t run if you have the balls! The Yue Family''s prestige is not something people can just provoke!"


    Actually, Yue Yunfeng was really somewhat apprehensive of Ye Yuan already. The Moonlight Heavenly Eye was his ace in the hole. Ye Yuan actually had no reaction in the slightest.


    His natural disposition was prudent, that was why he sent out the family''s signal. Very soon, there would be even stronger people arriving.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of running at all. He said calmly, "Run? Why do I have to run? Now that the situation has gotten out of hand, if Yue Jianqiu doesn''t come and invite me personally, I won''t go to the Yue Family. Instead, I feel that you have to be prepared to be punished by the Yue Family."


    The people on the streets were going to collapse. This Ye Yuan''s bragging simply reached the skies.


    Who was Yue Jianqiu? That was the present Yue Family''s leader, a genuine Divine King powerhouse!


    Such an existence would come out and receive a Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat?


    Ye Yuan naming Ding Zhanguo, then Yue Jianqiu, those who did not know would even think that he was a major faction''s leader.


    Only the top characters of the various major forces dared to directly call out these people''s names.


    Even Eighth Level Dao Profound Realms did not dare to address them like so either. At least, they would have to add honorifics.


    Yue Yunfeng said with a cold smile, "What a joke! Who the hell do you think you are? To even make Family Head come and receive you personally? Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and did not have the intention of refuting at all.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Yunfeng could not help feeling uncertain deep in his heart.


    Could it be that this brat really had some mysterious plan, or he had a powerful background?


    How was this possible!


    The Divine Realm''s junior generation geniuses today, Yue Yunfeng knew very well in his heart. There was no Ye Yuan at all.


    This brat was already putting up a bold front!


    While talking, several figures arrived with a howl.


    At present, geniuses gathered in Bright Moon City. Clashes like today were naturally unavoidable too. The Yue Family''s Dao Profound Realm experts, quite a number of people was sent out on patrol, in order to avoid causing some major trouble.


    "What happened, Yunfeng?" said a middle-aged man with a frown.


    Regarding Yue Yunfeng firing the family''s signal, he was clearly rather displeased. Currently, the factions in the city were messy and convoluted. If there was an incident, it was best to control within a small scope.


    Once the family''s signal was fired, it would surely draw even more people''s attention. At that time, once it was not handled appropriately, it would set off a chain of reactions.


    Some major forces were what even the Yue Family could not afford to provoke as well.


    Seeing the arrivals, Ye Yuan could not help revealing a hint of a smile on his face.


    Who Yue Yunfeng was, Ye Yuan did not remember him at all. His status in his previous life was too transcendent. When he came to Bright Moon City, Yue Yunfeng was far from being worthy. He naturally would not have an impression.


    In front of the youngest peak Alchemy Emperor, Yue Yunfeng only had the right to observe far away.


    But this one in front of him, Ye Yuan had some impression.


    This person was a little older than Yue Yunfeng but was the same generation as Yue Jianqiu, who was also Yue Yunfeng''s uncle, Yue Jianfeng.


    Coincidentally enough, back then when Ye Yuan came to Bright Moon City, it was this Yue Jianfeng who was in charge of his daily life. The two people had some contact.


    Yue Yunfeng whispered a few words by Yue Jianfeng''s ear. Yue Jianfeng''s brows involuntarily knitted together, his gaze looking at Ye Yuan piercingly.


    "Young man, although my Yue Family isn''t a top family clan in the Divine Realm, we''re also not what anybody can insult! Do you want to give an explanation to this Yue?" Yue Jianfeng said solemnly.


    Currently, the people surrounding and watching were getting more and more. This matter became very sensitive.


    If they could not make Ye Yuan apologize, the Yue Family''s prestige would reach rock-bottom, and become a laughingstock for the Divine Realm''s various major forces.


    What Yue Jianfeng wanted was just an opportunity to disentangle from the awkward position.


    Ye Yuan stood proudly, his imposing manner when facing Yue Jianfeng was still fearless as he said coolly, "Explanation? What explanation? Today''s matter had nothing to do with your Yue Family in the first place. But the moment Yue Yunfeng came, he was biased towards Ding Shuo without distinguishing black from white. Isn''t he bullying me because my background isn''t as powerful as his? The Yue Family handling affairs like this, wouldn''t it cast a chill over the hearts of all heroes in the world?"


    Ye Yuan''s words stirred up a wave of commotion in the crowd.


    Martial artists were divided into different grades and ranks. It was naturally impossible for the Yue Family to take an impartial stance. But this sort of thing was hard to say openly in public. Otherwise, there would be too many people offended.


    After all, the geniuses martial artists with strong backgrounds were just a small minority.


    Yue Jianfeng secretly cursed slippery little fellow. One sentence actually seized the initiative of public opinion.


    Being together with Ding Shuo, Ye Yuan was indeed in the disadvantaged group. These words very easily aroused the same feelings in the vast majority among them.


    This way, for the Yue Family to want to make a move against Ye Yuan, they would have to be careful.


    A single misstep would drag the Yue Family''s reputation through the mud.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Public clamor could melt metals, accumulated defamation ruins a man.


    Although the Yue Family did not fear these people, this had an immense influence on the Yue Family''s reputation.


    "Yunfeng was indeed a little rash in handling this. But that''s also seeing that you drew the sword to kill people, that''s why he would misunderstand. But making impertinent remarks about the Yue Family is your wrongdoing!"


    Yue Jianfeng was old-handed as well, clinging hard to Ye Yuan insulting the Yue Family.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Ding Shuo took out the Myriad Net Magic Lantern wanting to kill me. I don''t believe that Yue Yunfeng did not see it! At that time, why didn''t he come out and stop it? When I retaliated, it became murdering people on the streets and scorning the Yue Family? If other people are unreasonable, I, Ye Yuan, will be even more unreasonable than others! What does scolding your Yue Family a few words count for?"


    Ye Yuan had long known that Yue Yunfeng was present back then. It was just that he did not expose it.


    If Yue Yunfeng handled the case impartially at that time, Ye Yuan would just turn a blind eye to it. But he called Ye Yuan to account the moment he came up, thoroughly enraging Ye Yuan.


    Ding Shuo did not speak by the side the entire time. Hearing these words of Ye Yuan''s, his face reddened to the ears.


    He even used the Myriad Net Magic Lantern and was actually nearly killed by Ye Yuan still. This was simply an unprecedented humiliation.


    After today, he would likely become a laughingstock to all.


    Yue Jianfeng''s brows knitted, immediately feeling incredibly vexed.


    Ye Yuan''s heart was like a clear mirror. Furthermore, he was incomparably stubborn. Wanting to make him lower his head was probably not such an easy matter!


    If he really could not, then there was only using martial strength to make him submit!

 931 Call Yue Jianqiu Here!

    A cold light glinted in Yue Jianfeng''s eyes. How could it escape Ye Yuan''s eyes?


    Yue Jianfeng was Fifth Level Dao Profound Realm. Even in the Yue Family, his status was also rather high.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care at all. Looking at Yue Jianfeng with a smile that was not a smile, he said, "Yue Jianfeng, no matter what, it was also your Yue Family who handled matters unjustly first. But you want to make a move now, is it?"


    Yue Jianfeng''s face fell. Being spurred on by Ye Yuan like this, he could not very well make a move.


    This brat was really troublesome to deal with!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan continued, "Looks like your Yangqiao Meridian injuries are already pretty much healed!"


    Yue Jianfeng''s entire body trembled, his gaze staring fixedly at Ye Yuan, his eyes showing a very doubtful look.


    Several years earlier, Yue Jianfeng had his internal organs wounded by his opponent during a family clan''s operation. Although his injuries recovered later on, the power of his Moonlight Heavenly Eye had been greatly affected.


    Members of the Yue Family, as long as they possessed the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, their greatest reliance was on ocular powers.


    Yue Jianfeng''s ocular powers suffered impairment. The blow to him could be imagined.


    The family clan''s Alchemy Emperor elder diagnosed it, turns out that his Yangqiao Meridian was damaged. Hence, it resulted in his ocular powers getting damaged. It was just that diagnosing was easy, but a radical cure was extremely, extremely difficult.


    Yue Jianfeng sought treatment from many alchemy emperors before. Nobody was able to treat his Yangqiao Meridian injuries once and for all, all the way until Ye Yuan came to Bright Moon City.


    During that period of time when Ji Qingyun came, Yue Jianfeng waited upon carefully the entire time, putting his heart and soul into it. Ji Qingyun was naturally able to make out his thoughts and casually gave him a prescription, letting him slowly nurse his health.


    In these few years, Yue Jianfeng''s injury was indeed almost healed. The power of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye also recovered to its peak state.


    Ye Yuan could be said to have given a new lease on life to Yue Jianfeng.


    This matter was very likely to affect his position in the family clan back then, so it had always been carried out in secret. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually spilled it out. How could this not make him shocked?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and continued to say unhurriedly, "It''s a pity, oh, what a shame!"


    Talking until here, Ye Yuan suddenly shut his mouth and said nothing, showing an appearance of closely guarding a secret.


    Yue Jianfeng''s face fell, and he said coldly, "Pity about what?!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Jianfeng with a ruminating look and said, "Didn''t you want to make a move to capture me? Why are you still asking so much for?"


    "Uncle Feng, don''t listen to him talk nonsense! This brat''s background is unknown. Befogging the minds of people here, maybe he''s here to make trouble! Capture him first then talk!" Yue Yunfeng interrupted.


    Yue Jianfeng stopped him from speaking with a hand gesture. Drawing a deep breath, he said, "Young man, what do you know?"


    Uttering these words actually had a bit of a tone of seeking advice.


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent appearance as he opened his mouth to say, "During these several years, do you occasionally have situations where essence energy is lacking? Every time you sit quietly and meditate, do you frequently get cut short without rhyme or reason?"


    The moment Yue Jianfeng heard, his expression could not help changing greatly. What Ye Yuan said was actually not the slightest bit off!


    "You �� How do you know?!" Yue Jianfeng said with great astonishment.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hands and did not speak anymore.


    Yue Jianfeng froze and knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately inciting him here. Want to make him say the words at the back, he must let him vent this anger first.


    But hearing Ye Yuan''s tone, his body really seemed to be somewhat amiss. Furthermore �� it shouldn''t be a small matter!


    These little problems, he initially did not pay particular attention either. But recently, these conditions seemed to show a trend of worsening. He had no choice but to take it seriously.


    Martial artists looked powerful, but once something went wrong with their bodies, it was even more troublesome than ordinary people.


    Yue Jianfeng drew a deep breath and bowed low towards Ye Yuan, saying, "This Yue had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! This matter was indeed Yunfeng''s transgression! I apologize to Little Brother on his behalf! If Little Brother is free, could we go to my humble abode to have a chat? This Yue apologizes to you on his behalf!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    Yue Jianfeng was a figure who grasped authority over major issues. He actually paid such great respects to a brat still wet behind his ears, this was simply unimaginable.


    The gloomiest one had to be Yue Yunfeng. He relied on Yue Jianfeng''s arrival, thinking that he got Ye Yuan for sure. Who knew that a few fleeting words of Ye Yuan''s made Yue Jianfeng lay down his arms and surrender.


    Now, it became his fault.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don''t give me that crap! Make Yue Jianqiu come and invite me. Otherwise, no way! Don''t use that sort of expression to look at me. I can tell you directly that the problem in your body is absolutely not a minor thing. As for whether you believe or not, it''s all up to you."


    Hearing these words, Yue Jianfeng''s heart could not help palpitating.


    The things that Ye Yuan said previously were too accurate. He had no choice but to believe it!


    Except, wanting Yue Jianqiu to come and receive Ye Yuan, this was also making things too difficult for people.


    "Uncle Feng, talking nonsense with this punk for what?! This brat is definitely talking rubbish! Capture him first and grill him under torture. He''ll confess everything!" Yue Yunfeng rebuffed.


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression turned cold, and he reproached, "Shut up for me! This matter was originally your fault. Hurry up and apologize to Little Brother!"


    Yue Yunfeng froze, not expecting Yue Jianfeng to set fire onto him. For a moment, he was actually at a loss on what to do.


    "What are you still in a daze for?! Is it possible that you want to receive the family''s punishment?" Yue Jianfeng''s words were even colder as if Ye Yuan was the one who was his kin.


    Interrogating under torture? What kind of joke was this?!


    To be able to see through the recurring illness in his body, this sort of existence would not be an existence who was that easy to provoke no matter what.


    At least, ordinary alchemy emperor powerhouse, if they did not carry out pulse-reading, they could not tell that his body had an underlying illness at all!


    Such a figure, once he really offended him to the core, there would not be anymore leeway to salvage it.


    Hearing family punishment, these two words, Yue Yunfeng involuntarily shuddered. Gritting his teeth, he said to Ye Yuan, "L-Little Brother, this matter �� this matter �� was all Yunfeng''s fault! I hope that you will forgive me!"


    Yue Yunfeng was very depressed. Today was not only him losing face completely, but the Yue Family''s face was also utterly thrown away!


    Just what medicine did Uncle Feng eat wrongly? A brat talking nonsense here, he actually believed it to be true!


    Ye Yuan nonchalantly darted him a glance and said, "I said before, you have got to be prepared to be punished. Mm, this is merely just the beginning!"


    Done talking, he turned to Yue Jianfeng again and said, "The words I said before, I''d never take them back myself! Today, Yue Jianqiu must come!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan so serious, Yue Jianfeng was displeased in his heart too. But he also knew that Ye Yuan could not be offended and could not help being put on a spot.


    "Little Brother, the Bright Moon Competition is at hand, Family Head has endless matters to busy with. He �� He seriously can''t make the time!" Yue Jianfeng said with difficulty.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly smiled and said, "Go find him, he''ll come! Just say that the person saving his daughter''s life came."


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression changed, and he cried out in shock, "You �� You are that �� young man called Ye Yuan!"


    He originally wanted to call him a ''brat.'' But when the words reached his mouth, it changed to ''young man.''


    These few years, Ye Yuan this name reverberated like thunder in the Yue Family!

 932 Eight Extremities War Chario

    "Could this brat has lost his mind? What kind of person is Lord Yue Jianqiu? How can he possibly lower his dignity to come and meet a junior?"


    "Even if this brat really has some background, it''s also impossible for Lord Yue Jianqiu to come! If he came, the Yue Family would lose all of its face today."


    "Heh heh, it''s really getting more and more lively! I want to take a look at just how the Yue Family cleans up the mess."


    Ye Yuan stood on the streets calmly, giving no thought to everyone''s widespread comments at all.


    However, the people watching the show were getting more and more. Refusing to budge like this, it would be harder and harder for the Yue Family to wind up the matter.


    Ye Yuan burned half of Bright Moon City''s skies with a torch. If Yue Jianqiu deigned himself and bent the knee to come and meet in person, Bright Moon City would really not be able to lift its head in front of the outstanding heroes under the heavens anymore.


    By the side, Yue Jianfeng''s world was turned upside down in his heart. He totally did not expect that this young man before his eyes was actually that Ye Yuan who made the Zhou Family dusty and dirty in the face!


    Two years ago, Zhou Yan secretly went to find trouble with the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. In the end, he was put into a coma by someone and returned to the Zhou Family.


    This matter had once stirred up massive waves in Vastsun and Brightmoon, these two cities.


    After Zhou Yan was brought back, the Zhou Family''s elders raised a clamor at one point, saying that they wanted to exterminate the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    Then later, this incident was left unsettled just like that.


    The whys and wherefores of it, outsiders did not know, but the Yue Family was perfectly clear! Zhou Jia discovered that Zhou Yan was actually injured by the Soul Martial Divine King!


    Ten Great Divine Kings, that was absolutely an existence which the Zhou Family could not afford to provoke.


    And a puny little Lower Realms'' aboriginal youth was actually linked in many ways with the Soul Martial Divine King. How could the Zhou Family dare to act rashly without careful consideration?


    The Yue Family knew about Ye Yuan''s existence very early on. But regarding Ye Yuan being able to treat Yue Mengli''s illness, they did not believe at all.


    All the way until Zhou Yan returned in defeat, after which the incident gave them hope.


    But so many years had passed, Ye Yuan did not show up all along. This made the Yue Family involuntarily anxious about a favor, and worried lest they should lose it.


    Although Ye Qing had the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid, these two years, Yue Mengli''s body still deteriorated steadily.


    Yue Jianfeng also did not think that Ye Yuan actually turned up at this time!


    Except, he did not expect that both parties actually met in such a way.


    Just as the people were discussing animatedly, a series of horse neighing sounds came from the sky.


    Everyone looked over and discovered that a war chariot was currently flying over from a distance.


    This war chariot''s momentum was extremely shocking. Its entire body emitted a bright bronze color, giving people an intense sense of oppression.


    Judging from the imposing momentum, this war chariot was clearly a transcendent-grade holy artifact!


    "It''s the Eight Extremities War Chariot! The Yue Family actually dispatched the Eight Extremities War Chariot! This Eight Extremities War Chariot is Yue Jianqiu''s ride! Furthermore, it''s the symbol of status. Only when the most honored guests come to visit will Yue Jianqiu personally drive the chariot out to welcome! Could it be that there''s some big shot currently on the way?"


    The appearance of the Eight Extremities War Chariot immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.


    This war chariot was a transcendent-grade holy artifact. Its combat strength was shocking. But more importantly, it was the Yue Family''s courteous reception towards the most distinguished guests.


    Even for Divine King powerhouses, the Yue Family might not dispatch this war chariot to welcome too.


    At present, right during the period of the Bright Moon Competition, quite a number of Divine King powerhouses would come and attend the ceremony. Sending out the Eight Extremities War Chariot at this time was very clearly in order to receive some important person.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Eight Extremities War Chariot from a distance, a hint of a smile flashing by the corners of his mouth.


    This Eight Extremities War Chariot, he was not foreign to it. Back then, when he came to Bright Moon City, Yue Jianqiu personally rode precisely the Eight Extremities War Chariot out to receive him.


    Times have passed, and circumstances have changed, to think that Yue Jianqiu drove the chariot to come and receive him once more now.


    Of course, other people would not think that the Eight Extremities War Chariot was here to receive him.


    Using the Eight Extremities War Chariot to come and welcome a Heaven Enlightenment Realm boy, how was this possible?


    "Deserving of being the head of a family, indeed have some boldness when doing things!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    By the side, Si Yin''s eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Young Master Ye, you don''t think that the Eight Extremities War Chariot is here to receive you, right?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Otherwise, what do you think?"


    The Eight Extremities War Chariot''s speed was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, it arrived above this street''s sky. Everyone looked left and right, wanting to find that big shot.


    But they could not find it at all!


    On the chariot, a middle-aged man in fine-clothing with a handsome face like carved jade had his clothes fluttering, the air of an expert out-and-out.


    "Master Ye, Jianqiu has waited bitterly for many years! You finally came to Bright Moon City! This one has prepared some weak wine. Can Master Ye come up and have a chat?"


    A deep voice sounded out. The middle-aged man was actually inviting a person called Master Ye up.


    The people below looked here and there, all searching for that ''Master Ye.'' However, how was anyone able to be called Master Ye in existence?


    Even though Ye Yuan raised a hue to make Yue Jianqiu come, they completely did not believe that Yue Jianqiu would personally drive the Eight Extremities War Chariot here to welcome Ye Yuan.


    Yet, Yue Jianfeng and Yue Yunfeng, the uncle and nephew pair, were both incomparably astounded at this time!


    They never would have thought that Family Head actually gave Ye Yuan such a highly courteous reception! Even when Vastsun City''s Zhou Family''s Family Head came to visit, it was absolutely impossible for Yue Jianqiu to mobilize the Eight Extremities War Chariot too!


    But facing Ye Yuan, he actually used it!


    Si Yin similarly looked at Ye Yuan with incredible astonishment. She did not think that Yue Jianqiu was really here to receive Ye Yuan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan slowly got up, and flew over toward the Eight Extremities War Chariot with a leap.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was all stunned.


    "This brat, does he really think that he''s something? Even if Family Head Yue really agreed to come and meet him, it''s also impossible to drive the Eight Extremities War Chariot, right?"


    "What a joke! A Heaven Enlightenment Realm brat also dares to accept the name of master? Family Head Yue coming out personally is merely a coincidence. He really took it seriously!"


    "Haha! This boy is simply a clown! Family Head Yue is currently receiving an honored guest, he actually ran up to make a spectacle of himself!"


    For a moment, the mocking voices rose one after another.


    Although Ye Yuan clamored to make Yue Jianqiu come all the way, they totally did not believe that Yue Jianqiu would personally ride the Eight Extremities War Chariot here to receive Ye Yuan.


    The Eight Extremities War Chariot had once received many important personages before. But these big shots, there had never been one who was lower than Divine King Realm before!


    Who did Ye Yuan think he was?


    Yet, the scene of Ye Yuan being annihilated by the Eight Extremities War Chariot did not occur.


    At this time, Yue Jianqiu actually got down the chariot and went to greet Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Jianqiu and said coolly, "This facade of Family Head Yue''s is done a little over the top!"


    Yue Jianqiu''s gaze was profound, currently sizing up Ye Yuan, rather surprised in his heart.


    Ye Yuan was very young, but he did not have the least bit of young man''s impulsiveness on him. On the contrary, when Ye Yuan was facing him, he actually had the bearing of an expert!


    Yue Jianqiu''s sovereign disposition was accumulated for months and years on end. Yet, when Ye Yuan was standing opposite him, his aura was actually not weak in the slightest!


    This scene made him feel very discordant.


    Yue Jianqiu said smilingly, "Master Ye''s alchemy strength is unparalleled. However solemnly I welcome you is not too much! This place isn''t a venue to speak. Master Ye, please board the chariot for a chat."


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head. Lifting his leg, he directly entered inside the Eight Extremities War Chariot.


    But Yue Jianqiu did not enter inside right away. He nonchalantly threw down an instruction. "Feng-er, you nearly caused big trouble today. Go to the Disciplinary Hall yourself to receive punishment!"

 933 Inexplicably Frustrated

    On the Eight Extremities War Chariot, the atmosphere was rather odd.


    After entering the war chariot, Yue Jianqiu''s behavior was completely different from the zealousness from before; cold until it made people somewhat chilly.


    As for Ye Yuan, he poured himself a cup of wine and drank it all by himself casually, without the slightest feeling of aloofness.


    "Bright Moon City''s specialty product, Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine. Mm �� Not bad, not bad! It''s a shame that this wine is only middle-grade. Furthermore, its age is somewhat lacking. Family Head Yue is so stingy!" Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine was a top-grade fine wine on the same level as the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. Only by using Bright Moon City''s Soaring Moon Immortal Flower could it be distilled.


    However, Yue Jianqiu clearly would not take the immortal grade Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine used to entertain distinguished guests to come and entertain Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, you really gave such a big gift! Upon arriving at Bright Moon City, you threw it into pandemonium! And you still want this Yue to personally come out and receive you!" Although Yue Jianqiu''s words were calm, it faintly contained killing intent.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all. Looking at him, he said indifferently, "Bright Moon City''s hospitality, this Ye has also had a taste of it! When can this snobbish shortcoming be fixed? You arriving, I already gave you face and cooperated with you to act out a play. Otherwise, making me board this Eight Extremities War Chariot isn''t such an easy thing!"


    Yue Jianqiu''s eyes narrowed slightly and revealed a glimmer of cold light. Clearly, his tolerance had reached the limits.


    Ye Yuan''s words were too arrogant!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Eight Extremities War Chariot was not what anybody could get on. Ye Yuan, a junior, being able to get on the Eight Extremities War Chariot was already an incomparably glorious thing.


    This guy actually still dared to create difficulties?!


    Yue Jianqiu putting up such a grand line-up earlier, the goal was in order to raise Ye Yuan''s status, making him become mysterious in the assessment of the public.


    This way, him, Yue Jianqiu''s, personally coming out to receive would naturally not appear to lower his status.


    Before departing, he even deliberately announced Yue Yunfeng''s punishment in front of the common people, indicating that today''s incident was just Yue Yunfeng''s individual fault, and had nothing to do with the Yue Family.


    This blame, Yue Yunfeng shouldered it alone!


    Yue Jianqiu resolved the Yue Family''s awkwardness with a lift of his hand. He was indeed a mighty ruler with a bold vision.


    It was just that his displeasure towards Ye Yuan went without saying.


    Therefore, after boarding the Eight Extremities War Chariot, he naturally would not show Ye Yuan any good attitude.


    "Humph! Age is not old, but your tone isn''t small! Could it be that boarding my Eight Extremities War Chariot brought shame to your status? Don''t forget, you''re just a Lower Realms bumpkin!" Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.


    "Just getting on a lousy war chariot, what''s the big deal. Other people care, but I, Ye Yuan, don''t care!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Speaking in terms of Ye Yuan''s peak Alchemy Emperor status, him boarding the Eight Extremities War Chariot was giving the Yue Family face.


    It was just that circumstances have changed with the passage of time, Yue Jianqiu did not know that the one sitting opposite him was formerly the alchemy genius who had the Divine Realm at his beck and call.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yue Jianqiu could not help being speechless. This brat was too arrogant. He completely did not place him, this Rank One Holy Land''s leader, in his eyes.


    Those who did not know would even think that Ye Yuan was some formidable Divine King powerhouse.


    "Enough nonsense! Li-er''s illness, you''re really confident about it? Quan Xingzi has come and helped Li-er to diagnose before. Even he was at a loss on what to do as well!" Yue Jianqiu said with a grim look.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Quan Xingzi that old man is complacent with his own laurels, not worth mentioning. If he was able to cure it, that would be strange. But speaking of which, this Bright Moon Competition, what''s the meaning of it? How can your daughter''s lifetime happiness be determined with such a careless method?"


    Ye Yuan had just entered the city but heard of the matter of the Bright Moon Competition too.


    Numerous young talents gathering in Bright Moon City was actually in order to vie for Yue Mengli!


    The first place of the Bright Moon Competition would marry Yue Mengli. As a dowry, Bright Moon City would open up a spot and let the future son-in-law enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!


    Yue Mengli was indeed an unparalleled beauty. It was just that the news of her days being numbered had long spread already.


    Those young geniuses coming here was probably not for Yue Mengli''s sake at all, but for that chance to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!


    What meaning did such a martial competition to find a spouse have as well?


    Yue Jianqiu shot him a fierce glare and said, "It isn''t your turn to come and worry about the Yue Family''s affairs! Don''t say that I don''t give you a chance, if you''re sincere towards Li-er, then defeat all of the young talented men during the Bright Moon Competition!"


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he involuntarily turned stuff, and he actually became immersed in his thoughts.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu sneered coldly in his heart.


    This brat wanted to score outside of his league, Now, upon hearing that he had to deal with the outstanding young geniuses under the heavens, he immediately shriveled up.


    Li-er''s heart was entirely tied to Ye Yuan. How could he, as her father, not tell? It was just that he felt that Li-er had entrusted to the wrong person now!


    Yet, Ye Yuan''s current thoughts were completely poles apart from what Yue Jianqiu had on his mind.


    The reason why he was in a daze was that he did not think Yue Jianqiu actually thought that he had designs on Li-er.


    But regarding Yue Mengli, Ye Yuan indeed had a feeling which he could not put into words.


    This sort of feeling was completely different from when he was facing other girls.


    Ye Yuan involuntarily recalled the matter of Yue Mengli sneaking a kiss on him back then. Recalling it now, he actually felt his heart palpitate with excitement.


    Could it be that he actually fell for Yue Mengli?


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan put his whole body and mind into alchemy. And this life, his greatest goal was to take revenge on Ji Canglan. So he consciously or unconsciously refrained himself from thinking in this area.


    Originally, Ye Yuan thought that he only had feelings of gratitude towards Yue Mengli. But looking at it now, it seemed like it was not simply so.


    Except, what the conclusion was, Ye Yuan did not have a clear answer in his heart too.


    "Good that you''re afraid! If you can really treat Li-er, the Yue Family naturally will not treat you unfairly. Except, if you''re using this as a chip to come and obtain Li-er, that''s impossible! However, I''ll say the nasty things first, if you can''t treat Li-er, I''ll make you regret ever being born in this world!" Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan collected his thoughts. Drinking a mouthful of Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine, he said coolly, "Li-er''s illness, you don''t have to worry! But organizing this Bright Moon Competition is really incomparably foolish! After Li-er''s illness is cured, her cultivation will advance at a tremendous pace! Before long, no one in your Yue Family will be her match anymore."


    Yue Jianqiu said in a deep voice, "Humph! Sounds nicer than it is! Li-er''s days are numbered, you also disappeared these two years. Furthermore, your cultivation realm is too low and can''t refine the Soul Separating Pill at all. Even if you really came, what''s the use? Li-er is born with the Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique. The strength of her ocular powers is one of a kind in the Yue Family! If she really leaves like this, it will be a tremendous loss to the Yue Family. What do you know?"


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan was actually inexplicably frustrated in his heart.


    Yue Jianqiu''s meaning was actually treating Yue Mengli as a tool to carry on the family line. Because descendants of the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, there was a 30% chance to be of the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique too!


    Even if they were not, the descendants'' ocular powers were also much stronger compared to ordinary people.


    It was precisely because of this that Yue Jianqiu would be willing to give up a spot to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, and also had to find a proud son-in-law for himself!

 934 Disappoint You!

    "Leave Li-er''s illness to me. The Yue Family cancel the Bright Moon Competition this time!" Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up. It was just that his gaze became somewhat icy.


    But Yue Jianqiu said, "Impossible! Currently, geniuses have gathered in Bright Moon City. There are many forces that even the Yue Family can''t afford to provoke as well. Wanting to cancel the Bright Moon Competition is already not possible! Still that sentence, if you can win in the Bright Moon Competition, this Emperor will marry Li-er to you without another word!"


    Yue Jianqiu''s words had some intention of giving tit for tat.


    But this could not be blamed on him either. Now, the Bright Moon Competition was already an arrow fitted to the strong; not up to the Yue Family to not release anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, "The geniuses you''re talking about, could it be Zhou Yan they all? Forget it, it''s up to you to organize the Bright Moon Competition too. Whoever wins, just come and challenge me!"


    These words were said domineeringly!


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was that those so-called geniuses were not worthy of exchanging blows with him at all.


    Yue Jianqiu turned stiff, and he said in a deep voice, "Simply presumptuous! What right do you have to get a different treatment from the rest? Furthermore, you, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm, what qualifications do you have to accept other people''s challenge?"


    "Yue Jianqiu, I think you shouldn''t be mistaken! Right now, I''m not discussing with you, I''m only informing you! Doing so is already giving your Yue Family face. If not looking on account of Li-er''s face, I''d have directly brought her away. Heh, don''t look at me with this sort of expression in your eyes. If I want to bring Li-er away, you can''t stop it at all! As for the reason, I think you know." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yue Jianqiu looked at Ye Yuan coldly, revealing a cold light.


    This brat, facing him, this head of the Yue Family, he dared to be so unbridled too!


    But Ye Yuan being so confident actually made him somewhat cautious in taking action.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    He was naturally aware of what Ye Yuan was referring to. If the Soul Martial Divine King wanted to bring Li-er away, no one could stop it at all!


    Clearly, this was also where Ye Yuan''s confidence lied.


    Ye Yuan had an arrogant appearance, totally not placing Yue Jianqiu in his sights at all. This could not help thronging people with thoughts.


    To the Yue Family and the Zhou Family, they speculated Ye Yuan''s identity before, and they felt that the greatest possibility was that Ye Yuan was Zhong Zizhen''s illegitimate son.


    Otherwise, how could a puny little Heaven Enlightenment Realm possibly make one of the Ten Great Divine Kings take action?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was exceptional in both the soul and martial arts. His alchemy strength was unparalleled; simply carved from the same mold.


    Thinking up to here, how would Yue Jianqiu still have doubts?


    "Fine, this emperor promises you! You''re so wildly arrogant, looking down on the Divine Realm''s outstanding heroes. I want to take a look at how much capability you have!" Yue Jianqiu said coldly.


    Being kneaded by a junior, Yue Jianqiu felt as awful as having eaten a fly. Except, he ultimately had no choice but to agree to Ye Yuan''s demand.


    ...


    The Yue Family was Bright Moon City''s de facto controller. The total area of the manor and courtyard was extremely vast.


    Currently, beside a small lake with exquisite scenery, several figures were currently admiring the landscape and chatting.


    "Oh Li-er, Yan-er has grown up together with you since young and has eyes only for you. The Zhou Family and Yue Family have been connected through marriage for generations. Why do you refuse to get together with Yan-er?"


    A middle-aged woman did her best to persuade the young girl beside her earnestly. This young girl was none other than precisely Yue Mengli.


    "Auntie, don''t make things difficult for Li-er anymore! The Bright Moon Competition this time, I''ll defeat all the geniuses and use my own strength to prove that I''m the one who''s most worthy of Li-er! Furthermore, as long as I win, I can help the Yue Family keep the spot to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!"


    Zhou Yan was present too. Except, he already cut in halfway without waiting for Yue Mengli to reply.


    He was severely wounded by the Soul Martial Divine King the last time he went to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land. The Zhou Family expended a huge price before obtaining the method to let Zhou Yan regain consciousness from the Soul Martial Divine King there.


    But Zhou Yan''s talent was indeed very heaven-defying. Experiencing the serious injury this time, not only did his strength not regress, it advanced instead, and actually directly broke through the shackles of Dao Profound Realm, stepping into the ranks of Emperor Realm in one stroke!


    So this time, that was why he was full of confidence, wanting to trample all the geniuses underfoot.


    The middle-aged woman''s name was called Zhou Qianru, Zhou Jia''s cousin. She married Yue Jianqiu''s brother, Yue Jianke. Therefore, Zhou Yan called her auntie.


    The Zhou Yan after breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, his edge seemed to be much more restrained, and he was also much more level-headed. It was just that he was still determined to get Yue Mengli.


    "Li-er, in the past, you turned your nose up at Yan-er, that was because he was young. This time, he grew wiser with each setback and is already much more mature. Marrying him, the Zhou and Yue two families will be even more closely related. Wouldn''t it be better?" Zhou Qianru continued to persuade.


    Zhou Yan said, "Auntie, don''t say anymore! Since Li-er said that she wants to marry the strongest genius, then �� I''ll become that strongest one!"


    The two people sang in chorus. Yue Mengli actually did not even have room to interject.


    Actually, the initiator of the Bright Moon Competition this time was still Yue Mengli.


    Back then, Yue Jianqiu was too relentless, insisting on her marrying Zhou Yan. But Yue Mengli refused to no matter what and said to Yue Jianqiu: If I, Yue Mengli, have to marry, I got to marry the strongest young genius too!"


    Therefore, that was why there was the Bright Moon Competition this time.


    In a twinkle, seven to eight years passed. The agony of Yue Mengli''s divine soul tearing already became more and more out of hand. The frequency of outburst also became greater and greater.


    Even with the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid, she could not hold on much longer either.


    However, Ye Yuan did not show up all along.


    But Yue Mengli did not lose faith in Ye Yuan. She knew that Ye Yuan would definitely come and save her!


    "Aunt, the Bright Moon Competition is already a foregone conclusion. What''s the point of saying these? If Zhou Yan can take first place and come back, I''ll keep my promise," Yue Mengli said coolly.


    Her complexion was very pale, her brows furrowed slightly, looking very haggard. But even so, it still could not block her charm.


    The current Yue Mengli instead had a kind of sickly beauty, making people feel even more protective towards, and more willing to care for.


    "Huhu, this �� I''m afraid it won''t be easy! With Ye Yuan around, first place definitely won''t fall into another''s hands!" Behind Yue Mengli, a youth in azure clothing opened his mouth.


    This azure-robed youth was Ye Qing.


    Seven to eight years had passed, Ye Qing''s aura was way more powerful compared to before. At present, he was already faintly going to break through to Tier 9!


    Erupting with deep accumulations was likely talking about Ye Qing''s situation.


    But Zhou Yan did not get angry. He said with a faint smile, "Ye Yuan? Even if he''s any more powerful, he has to arrive at Bright Moon City before the Bright Moon Competition too. It''s said that he has already disappeared for many years."


    "Yeah! A Lower Realms bumpkin, only ascended for several years'' time, how much can his strength increase? Perhaps, he hasn''t even reached Heaven Enlightenment Realm now," Zhou Qianru said disdainfully.


    Yue Mengli''s brows furrowed and she said with displeasure, "Aunt, Li-er''s illness already can''t endure much longer. Could it be that you wish to see Li-er leave this world here and now?"


    Zhou Qianru''s heart thumped, not expecting to overshoot the mark, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Li-er, isn''t there a misunderstanding? Auntie naturally hopes that you recover soon. But just now was just considering the facts as they are. That Ye Yuan merely ascended for around six to seven years, even if his talent is anymore monstrous, his progress also has to have a limit, right?"


    "Is that so? This aunty, I''m afraid that this Ye will have to disappoint you!"


    At this time, a young profile slowly walked out. That tone had indescribable mockery.

 935 Desiring to Go up to the Ninth Heaven to Seize Heavenly Lightning

    Seeing that figure which made her long very much for, Yue Mengli was actually somewhat dazed for some time.


    Nobody knew just how Yue Mengli lived through these past few years.


    The agony of the divine soul tearing was what the average person could not imagine.


    Whenever Yue Mengli was so overwhelmed with pain that she wished she was dead, that tall and straight figure would always appear in her mind.


    It was Ye Yuan who gave her the courage to carry on living!


    A beautiful shadow moved slightly and already wrapped around Ye Yuan''s waist.


    "I finally waited until you came!"


    Very calm, not that much fluctuation in emotion, and also would not complain tearfully like ordinary girls.


    Yue Mengli had always been a fairy maiden who was otherworldly.


    It was just that this simple and short one sentence already embodied all of it.


    Longing, suffering, hesitation, perseverance, holding on until the clouds parted to see the bright moon, was all inside this one sentence.


    Ye Yuan came, that was enough!


    Everything else was not important.


    Being hugged by a beautiful woman, Ye Yuan actually give rise to a very satisfying feeling. He could not help secretly heaving a sigh and also reached out to embrace Yue Mengli.


    "Mm, I came, everything will be over," Ye Yuan said softly.


    "Cough, cough ��" Behind Ye Yuan, several coughs suddenly transmitted over.


    Yue Mengli was startled before noticing that behind Ye Yuan was actually Father.


    Yue Jianqiu looked at Ye Yuan at the back, his gaze rather hostile.


    But Ye Yuan paid no attention to his gaze and continued to hug Yue Mengli. He did not have the intention of letting go.


    Zhou Yan''s face turned green, his gaze looking at Ye Yuan was filled with resentment.


    He grew up together with Yue Mengli since young and could be said to be in a favorable position. Yet, Yue Mengli this bright pearl was grasped in Ye Yuan''s hand at present.


    When had Yue Mengli ever been like this towards him?


    Zhou Yan''s jealousy and hatred towards Ye Yuan in his heart was already unable to use words to describe.


    But the moment he thought of the Soul Martial Divine King, he could not help shuddering from the bottom of his heart.


    "You �� You''re Ye Yuan? You''re actually already peak Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment. How is this possible?"


    At this time, Zhou Qianru''s astonished voice shattered the somewhat peculiar atmosphere of the scene.


    She still predicted prior to this that Ye Yuan at most would not surpass Heaven Enlightenment Realm. But when Ye Yuan stood in front of her, he was actually peak Heaven Enlightenment Realm already; only a single step away to be able to step into Phaseless Realm!


    This kind of cultivation speed was truly a little too horrifying as well, right?


    At this time, Zhou Yan also discovered Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm already, his pupils involuntarily constricting.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Zhou Family guessed that Ye Yuan was very likely the Soul Martial Divine King''s illegitimate son. Could it be that �� this conjecture was true?


    He knew that when Ye Yuan had just ascended, he only had a strength that just entered the Divine Traversing Realm.


    This had merely been six to seven years time, Ye Yuan actually broke through three major cultivation realms in succession! This kind of cultivation speed was too terrifying!


    Recollecting at that time, when he met Ye Yuan for the first time, Ye Yuan was still just an ant-like existence in front of him.


    But when a mere seven to eight years had passed, Ye Yuan actually showed a trend of catching up from behind. This gave Zhou Yan an immense sense of pressure.


    A Lower Realms aboriginal, if he did not have the aid of a Divine Realm''s major power, how could he possibly cultivate so quickly?


    "Humph! So what if peak Heaven Enlightenment Realm? With your strength, it''s impossible to win in the Bright Moon Competition! Ye Yuan, if you''re a man, fight it out to see who''s the winner in the Bright Moon Competition!" Zhou Yan issued a letter of challenge to Ye Yuan in front of everyone.


    The current Zhou Yan was like a rooster in heat. Him issuing a challenge to Ye Yuan was already the final grace that he could maintain.


    "Ye Yuan, I ��"


    Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan, rather embarrassed. This Bright Moon Competition was even fixed up by her to drag the time. She did not expect that it would entrap Ye Yuan in the end.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said smilingly, "Li-er, what you said is right. Your man is naturally the strongest! Zhou Yan, don''t blame me for not giving you the chance. Want to challenge me, you have to beat everybody in the Bright Moon Competition! Otherwise, you won''t even have the opportunity to challenge me!"


    Zhou Yan froze and said with a snicker, "Ye Yuan, you''re also too conceited, right? The Divine Realm''s geniuses are innumerable. Even if your cultivation speed is amazing, you don''t even rank in the top 100. What right do you have to let me challenge you?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and could not even be bothered to explain at all.


    "Yan-er, I already promised Ye Yuan, the victor of tomorrow''s Bright Moon Competition will fight with Ye Yuan for the qualifications to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!" Yue Jianqiu spoke up.


    Zhou Yan turned rigid, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    "Uncle Yue, you �� you aren''t joking, right? Ye Yuan, what qualifications does he have to obtain such a treatment?"


    This decision of Yue Jianqiu''s was simply too preposterous!


    Ye Yuan was just a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist. Letting him face off with the victor of tomorrow''s Bright Moon Competition, wasn''t it making a joke?


    Yue Jianqiu''s face fell slightly, and he said, "You know that Ye Yuan has this qualification!"


    Hearing these words, Zhou Yan''s heart could not help tightening. Could it be that that speculation was actually true?!


    "Alright, enough crap, all disperse! Li-er''s illness brooks no delay. I have to start taking Li-er''s pulse," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "You? Really going to treat Li-er''s illness? According to what I know, wanting to treat Li-er illness requires refining the Soul Separating Pill, right? That medicinal pill is what even Alchemy Emperor powerhouses can''t refine. You''re merely Heaven Enlightenment Realm and can refine the Soul Separating Pill?" Zhou Yan said with a look of contempt.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, "This pill formula was given to Li-er by me. Only I can refine it. As for cultivation realm �� what you said is right, I indeed can''t refine the Soul Separating Pill right now."


    Zhou Yan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "See, I knew it! Even if it''s your own pill formula, without peak Alchemy Venerable strength, don''t even think about this medicinal pill at all!"


    "Alchemy Venerable is it �� Alright then, it''s too easy for me."


    Zhou Yan was just about to scoff in contempt when suddenly, his expression changed greatly.


    A horrifying energy crept out. This stretch of sky suddenly dimmed. In the sky, two types of colors of tribulation clouds condensed and formed very quickly.


    Dual-colored heavenly tribulation!


    Ye Yuan actually broke through at a word of disagreement!


    "Ye Yuan, are you insane? Transcending tribulation like this will make the Yue Family become a wasteland!" Yue Jianqiu said in a solemn voice.


    The power of Ye Yuan''s heavenly tribulation was very horrifying. Yue Jianqiu was also incomparably shocked in his heart when he saw it.


    When ordinary people transcended tribulation, most would make ample preparations, and find an empty field in the wild to transcend tribulation.


    But Ye Yuan was actually transcending his tribulation in front of everyone!


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Refining the Soul Separating Pill requires the power of lightning. This heavenly tribulation''s power is most suitable! Everyone wait calmly, I''ll be right back!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan leaped and headed straight up to the ninth heaven!


    Ye Yuan was actually going to face the heavenly tribulation in mid-air!


    Crack, crack �� Rumble!


    Horrifying dual-colored heavenly tribulation hurtled down, heading straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a loud roar and actually forcefully withstood this blow!


    His fleshly body was middle-stage Tier 8 and did not fear the power of this heavenly tribulation at all. As for the soul tribulation, Ye Yuan was even less worried.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl around, he had nothing to worry about at all.


    Rumble ��


    Bolts of heavenly tribulation hurled down as if it was the fury of heaven.


    But Ye Yuan was akin to strolling idly in a courtyard being immersed inside.


    Finally, a final bolt of terrifying heavenly tribulation fell down. Everyone''s eyes went wide.


    Ye Yuan actually went to grab the lightning of heavenly tribulation bare-handedly!

 936 Him Without a Doubt!

    Ye Yuan''s essence energy spewed wildly, but the lightning in his hand was unbelievably violent, wanting to kill Ye Yuan off for good.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not care about the lightning''s violent force at all. With his left hand pulling out a greenish-black small bottle and drawing with his essence energy, he directly stuffed the lightning into the small bottle.


    "Hiss �� So strong! Who is that? How can transcending Phaseless Realm heavenly tribulation have such horrifying power?"


    "Did you see it? He sealed the lightning bare-handedly just now. This heavenly tribulation is completely like playing around to him!"


    "What he transcended was a dual-colored heavenly tribulation. Transcending lightning tribulation and soul tribulation together is extremely perilous! But �� this boy is also too freakish, right?"


    When Ye Yuan was transcending tribulation at the Yue Family, the might was extremely great. It naturally aroused much attention.


    Especially the scene of him bare-handedly grabbing heavenly lightning, it made everyone unbelievably shocked. For some time, Ye Yuan actually became the idol of many of the Yue Family''s juniors.


    When Zhou Yan saw this scene, his expression became incomparably ugly.


    He thought that by breaking through to Dao Profound and achieving Emperor Realm, it was already sufficient to shake Ye Yuan off. But looking at it now, it was not that easy at all!


    Ye Yuan''s breakthrough to the Phaseless Realm was simply too effortless.


    Without incomparably daunting strength, who dared to transcend tribulation like him?


    Although Yue Jianqiu was calm on the surface, he was likewise incomparably shocked in his heart.


    He had only heard of his name all this while, and his impression of Ye Yuan was not good. A bumpkin used who knows what kind of method to beguile his daughter. If not looking on account of the Soul Martial Divine King''s face, the Yue Family would have long made a move to kill Ye Yuan.


    But now, Yue Jianqiu finally knew why Ye Yuan dared to be so wildly arrogant. He was not just relying on Zhong Zizhen''s awe-inspiring fame.


    He himself similarly had incomparably fearsome strength.


    Finishing transcending the tribulation, Ye Yuan strolled down leisurely, his entire person''s aura rising substantially.


    When he arrived in front of everyone again, he actually gave people a mystifying feeling.


    The Phaseless Realm, Law-less and Phaseless, the entire person had a sensation of merging into heaven and earth. This was the manifestation of having extremely profound comprehensions toward Heavenly Dao.


    However, Ye Yuan''s situation was clearly much more intense compared to ordinary martial artists who had just entered the Phaseless Realm.


    This indicated that Ye Yuan''s comprehension toward Heavenly Dao was far above ordinary First Level Phaseless martial artists!


    "Now, I can refine the Soul Separating Pill!" facing everyone, Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhou Yan''s expression changed, then he immediately sneered coldly and said, "If initial-stage Phaseless Realm can refine the Soul Separating Pill, then wouldn''t those Alchemy Emperor powerhouses become a joke?"


    The difficulty of refining the Soul Separating Pill had obtained goodness knows how many people''s confirmation in these seven to eight years'' time.


    Clearly just a Tier 8 medicinal pill, but numerous Alchemy Emperors just could not refine it!


    Even someone as powerful as Quan Xingzi likewise lost under this measly little Tier 8 medicinal pill.


    Furthermore, the pill formula Ye Yuan gave Yue Mengli, the notes were very detailed. Areas where refining the Soul Separating Pill needed to pay attention to, he marked each one of them.


    Yet, there was still no one able to refine it.


    Ye Yuan was very calm. He just said coolly, "In front of me, they are indeed a joke!"


    "What a wildly arrogant youth! Simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! This Soul Separating Pill came from your hands, but even Alchemy Emperor powerhouses can''t refine it. If you, a puny little initial-stage Phaseless Realm can refine it, it''s probably because the pill formula you gave has issues, right?" Zhou Qianru suddenly spoke up with a cold smile.


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces changed. Zhou Qianru''s deduction was perfectly logical and reasonable, making they all unable to refrain from having suspicions towards Ye Yuan.


    No reason that a medicinal pill which even peak alchemy emperors could not refine, an initial-rank Alchemy Venerable could refine it, right?


    This sort of situation simply did not conform to common sense.


    Seeing everyone''s reaction, Zhou Qianru became even more pleased with herself. She looked at Ye Yuan with a cold smile and said, "You used a fake pill formula and deceived Li-er for so many years, truly malicious! Or perhaps, Li-er''s illness wasn''t that serious in the first place. You used some trick in-between to aggravate her illness? Then, you lend a helping hand, so as to make Li-er follow you whole-heartedly?"


    The expressions of the Yue Family''s members became increasingly ugly. Especially Zhou Yan, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was even filled with killing intent.


    Setting up a ten-year hoax, cheating Li-er''s heart, Ye Yuan simply deserved death!


    "Ye Yuan, you''re really dark and scheming! All of us were kept in the dark by you! Li-er, don''t get swindled by this abominable guy!" Zhou Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like he was looking at an idiot, and said coolly, "Five days later, I''ll publicly refine the Soul Separating Pill! All of the alchemists who have refined the Soul Separating Pill before, you all can invite them here to attend the ceremony! Whether the pill formula I gave have problems or not, it will naturally be clear at a glance at that time!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone was incomparably stunned.


    Every alchemist treasured their own belongings. They were like that towards pill formulas, and similarly like so towards refining method. Publicly refining the Soul Separation Pill, this would display Ye Yuan''s refining process in front of the world, receiving everyone''s review and approval.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Those who have refined the Soul Separation Pill before were all alchemy emperor powerhouses. They could not refine the Soul Separation Pill, but if the pill formula really had problems, they would be able to tell.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan had the means to deceive one or two people. But so many alchemy emperors observing the ceremony, even if he had exceedingly high abilities, he could not deceive them either!


    If not for having absolute confidence in his own alchemy skills, Ye Yuan absolutely would not dare to do so.


    "Also, this Aunty''s imaginative powers are still quite rich. But using this sort of method to sow discord between Li-er and me, I can only say, hopelessly foolish!" Ye Yuan said scornfully.


    Zhou Qianru''s expression changed and was going to open her mouth and refute, but she heard Li-er slowly say, "Aunt, Li-er trusts Ye Yuan! If there''s still anyone able to save me in this world, this person is without a doubt Ye Yuan! He won''t deceive me! Also, regardless who wins the Bright Moon Competition in the end, the one who obtains the final victory will definitely be Ye Yuan!"


    Yue Mengli''s words were like a whip strike, lashing fiercely onto Zhou Yan''s heart.


    This trust, he had never gained it before.


    But Yue Mengli and Ye Yuan were merely acquainted for ten plus years. In-between even had six to seven years'' time they were apart. On what basis did she trust Ye Yuan like that?


    "Li-er, w-why?! Just what the hell is good about this brat?" Zhou Yan asked with his entire body trembling.


    Li-er looked at Zhou Yan and said calmly, "Zhou Yan, my heart, you won''t understand it. So give up!"


    Indeed, nobody could understand Yue Mengli''s heart.


    Many years ago, from that moment she saw Ji Qingyun, her heart had been tied to him. Nobody else could enter.


    Yet, Ji Qingyun''s demise made her heart like dead ashes for a time.


    What she did not expect was that she went to the Lower Realms to distract herself from her worries, but ran into Ye Yuan miraculously!


    And this youth actually gradually superimposed with that person, making her dead heart slowly revive.


    To Yue Mengli, nothing was more beautiful than this!


    However, what truly made Yue Mengli unbelievably joyous was still that sentence Ye Yuan just said earlier. "Your man is naturally the strongest!"


    Could it be that �� she finally obtained his acknowledgment?

 937 Vow to Travel Together with You!

    The stars in the sky above shone brilliantly. A bright and clear moon hung at the corner of an orderly arrangement of houses along a street.


    Bright Moon City''s moon was different from other places. Looking from here, the moon was always round and did not have cycles of waxing and waning.


    Bright Moon City got its name from here.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Lifting his head to look at the moon, he sighed emotionally, "300 years a cycle. Vastsun and Bright Moon, the two cities are finally going to have the sun and moon shining together again! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil already hasn''t appeared for 100 thousand years. I wonder if this time, anyone in your two families will succeed or not. However �� I feel that Li-er, you have very high hopes."


    Li-er fell behind slightly by half a step. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth to say, "You �� seem to be very familiar with the Vastsun and Bright Moon two cities."


    Ye Yuan turned around, looked at Yue Mengli, and said with a light smile, "You don''t have to approach the subject in a roundabout manner to find the answer, I can tell you. Your conjecture �� is correct!"


    Yue Mengli''s entire body trembled, her eyes revealing a look of not daring to believe it.


    It was not that the result was unexpected, but Ye Yuan''s candidness that made her somewhat taken by surprise.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    When at the Endless World, Yue Mengli wanted to find the answer once, but Ye Yuan did not give her a chance at all.


    After returning to Bright Moon City, she gradually thought it through instead.


    Yue Mengli was able to confirm that she had really fallen for Ye Yuan.


    But today, when Ye Yuan told her the answer so casually and played it down, she was somewhat seized with panic instead.


    Yes, it was seized with panic.


    This youth in front of her was really that lord!


    If Ye Yuan was Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli would do her best to love him. But when Ye Yuan was not Ye Yuan, she did not know what kind of an attitude to use to face him.


    The mentality before and after was completely different.


    That lord was an apex figure standing high above the masses in the Divine Realm; an existence which she needed to look up to. But Ye Yuan was merely just a Lower Realms'' measly little aboriginal.


    Yet these two people actually really coincided together miraculously!


    "W-Why did Your Excellency tell me this?" The calm and collected Yue Mengli finally lost composure this time.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Didn''t you always wanted to know very much? Since you want to know, I''ll tell you."


    Yue Mengli fell into a daze, not expecting that the reason was actually so simple. After the surprise, a hint of sweetness trickled past in Yue Mengli''s heart.


    This matter was of utmost importance. It might even affect the Divine Realm''s situation in the future.


    To Ye Yuan, this was a colossal secret too. Once it was exposed, it would even draw a fatal disaster.


    But he still told her!


    "But in the past ��"


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "In the past, my heart was uncertain. Now, my heart is already moved."


    Yue Mengli''s delicate body trembled, but still somewhat doubted the words she had just heard, her eyes shocked to the core.


    A strong arm gently took her into his arms and said, "Li-er, you know that I''m carrying a blood feud. So �� some things, I don''t think about them and dare not think either. But that instant when you hugged me, I discovered that I already can''t lie to myself anymore."


    Yue Mengli did not speak, but Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that she was trembling in his embrace.


    "Milord, I �� I''m so happy!" After a long time, these few words transmitted out from his embrace and was actually somewhat choking with sobs.


    Under the bright moon, two people hugged, with no words in the middle of the night.


    No idea how long had passed either, Yue Mengli said softly in Ye Yuan''s embrace, "Milord ��"


    "Call me Ye Yuan. The past have faded like smoke. In this life, the name Ye Yuan will inevitably shake the Divine Realm!" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Yue Mengli nodded her head slightly and corrected herself, "Ye Yuan, the Spirit Snow Divine King she ��"


    Ye Yuan fell silent, and finally, let out a sigh and said, "Me and Spirit Snow �� perhaps we weren''t meant to be. Compared to her, I care about you more.


    Ye Yuan sensed that the Yue Mengli in his arms hugged him even tighter.


    Another moment of silence. This time, it was Ye Yuan who opened his mouth first: "Li-er, you should know my matters. Honestly speaking, I also don''t know just what kind of existence I''m facing. But I think that Ji Canglan is probably not the most terrifying one. Maybe ��"


    Ye Yuan did not finish saying when a delicate finger was already placed on his lips, preventing him from continuing.


    Yue Mengli slowly got up and met Ye Yuan''s eyes, saying sincerely, "Ye Yuan, you don''t know how happy I am right now! When I saw milord''s elegant bearing back then, I was already smitten by milord. I swore back then to only marry milord in this lifetime! When I heard the grievous news being spread over, Li-er felt like the world was going to collapse. It was also starting from then that the Innate Battle Soul Physique awakened, making me suffer the agony of the divine soul tearing from time to time. Later, I brought Yan-er to the Endless World to distract myself. Even in my dreams, I never thought that I could meet with you again either. I thought that this is the so-called fate that people talked about, right? Therefore, no matter how arduous the road ahead is, Li-er vows to travel together with you!"


    Yue Mengli''s gaze was incomparably firm. She wanted to use her actions to defend this hard-earned fate.


    "Thank you, Li-er!" Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    Li-er had an outwardly soft and inwardly tough personality. Things that she decided, even eight horses could not drag it back. Apart from this, she was also so considerate. No matter what, she would think of Ye Yuan''s standpoint to consider problems.


    Perhaps it was precisely because of these that she moved Ye Yuan''s heart.


    ...


    Five days later, the Yue Family''s martial arts practice field was packed full of people.


    At this time, the practicing field became an enormous pill refining room.


    The Yue Family was an ancient alchemy family too. Many members of the Yue Family had alchemist backgrounds. Therefore, the Yue Family''s alchemy emperor powerhouses were quite a few.


    At this time at the practice field, just the alchemy emperor powerhouses were as many as 20 to 30!


    "The Soul Separating Pill, originated from this young man''s hands? It looks like he has merely just stepped into Alchemy Venerable Realm!"


    "Family Head said that the Soul Separating Pill might be incomplete, or was tampered with. But this old man had refined many times and didn''t discover any areas that were amiss."


    "Me too! If say this young man can use some sort of method to hoodwink us, these old fellows, then his Alchemy Dao attainments are also too scary!"


    At present, Ye Yuan was currently being surrounded in the center of the field. A group of alchemy emperor powerhouses was making frivolous remarks about him.


    These people had all refined the Soul Separating Pill before. But not a single person discovered that the Soul Separating Pill had issues.


    But Zhou Qianru''s words still fermented in the midst of these people.


    After all, a Tier 8 medicinal pill that so many alchemy emperors could not refine, this was also too strange.


    Right at this time, a powerful aura descended from the sky. Everyone raised their heads and looked. They saw the Eight Extremities War Chariot descending from the sky.


    "It''s Lord Quan Xingzi! Family Head actually invited Lord Quan Xingzi to come and attend the ceremony!" Everyone said in astonishment.


    As a peak Alchemy Emperor, the Alchemist Association''s vice-chairman, Quan Xingzi''s status in the Divine Realm was exceedingly high.


    And today, he actually personally came to the Yue Family to attend the ceremony for the sake of a puny little Tier 8 medicinal pill. This was also too strange.


    Except, they did not know that Quan Xingzi had also attempted to refine the Soul Separating Pill before, but the result was a failure.


    He was also very curious what kind of Tier 8 medicinal pill it was that even he actually could not refine it too!

 938 Dragon Sovereign Cauldron Appears!

    From the Eight Extremities War Chariot, down came an old man with a skinny face.


    The old man had a sage-like appearance, looking to have the air of a great master.


    This old man was well-known in the Divine Realm.


    Behind the old man even followed a young man. He did not look old, but his cultivation realm was not low. He already reached peak Phaseless Realm!


    From this young man''s badge, one could tell that he was actually already a peak Alchemy Venerable at a young age.


    Getting off the war chariot, the young man''s gaze when he looked at Ye Yuan was filled with contempt and thick enmity.


    "Lord Quan Xingzi, Honorable Nephew Liang Yuan, this way please!" Yue Jianqiu''s attitude was very courteous.


    Quan Xingzi nodded his head but opened his mouth to say, "Just a second, Family Head Yue, I''m very interested in this Little Friend Ye Yuan. Can you allow this elderly self to have a few words with him?"


    Yue Jianqiu smiled and said, "Of course, go ahead, Your Excellency."


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently resting with his eyes closed. Quan Xingzi slowly came before him and opened his mouth to ask, "Little Friend Ye Yuan, this elderly self is the Alchemist Association''s Vice-Chairman, Quan Xingzi."


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "I know."


    Quan Xingzi froze, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually had such an attitude.


    With his status, even when Alchemy Emperor powerhouses saw him, they would also have to bow down and greet. But this little guy in front of him actually dismissed him with two words.


    "Brat, what kind of attitude is this? You are still not paying respects when you see my master?" Liang Yuan was indignant and immediately voiced out to reproach.


    But Ye Yuan did not even take notice of him. He said indifferently, "Those attending the ceremony go over there and sit. If there''s nothing, don''t interrupt my meditation."


    In the Divine Realm, the Medicine King Hall and Alchemist Association were sworn enemies. Before the Ji father and son died, the two houses fought for god knows how many years.


    Although the Alchemist Association was powerful and influential, the Ji father''s and son''s Alchemy Dao strength were too heaven-defying. To really estimate it, they were roughly evenly-matched in strength.


    The Alchemist Association was incomparably overbearing, wanting to control all of the alchemists in the world. And the Medicine King Hall''s existence was a major threat to their authority.


    So back then, the Alchemist Association tried to suppress the Medicine King Hall. This Quan Xingzi naturally took part in it too.


    Seeing the Alchemist Association''s people, it would be weird if Ye Yuan could show a good attitude.


    When Liang Yuan saw that Ye Yuan''s attitude was haughty, he immediately blew his top. He was just about to give him a scolding but was stopped by Quan Xingzi.


    "Huhu, looks like Little Friend has some misunderstanding towards this old man. But some things, this old man still has to ask," Quan Xingzi said.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Ask away."


    "May I ask Little Friend, where this Soul Separating Pill''s pill formula came from? Does Little Friend really have the confidence to refine it?" Quan Xingzi opened his mouth to ask.


    "This question you asked is ridiculous. If I can''t refine it, could it be that I deliberately called so many people over to make a spectacle of myself? As for the origin of the pill formula, no comment." Ye Yuan laughed mockingly.


    Quan Xingzi could not help being stifled when he heard that. Nodding his head, he sat down on the seat of honor.


    This Ye Yuan was clearly very hostile towards him. It was just that he could not understand it; he had never met Ye Yuan before, so why was he like this?


    The group of Alchemy Emperors all exchanged glances. This Ye Yuan was also too presumptuous, right?


    What kind of status did Quan Xingzi have? He actually dared to talk like this. Was he not afraid of the Alchemist Association''s boycott?


    One had to know that after the Medicine King Hall changed banners, the Alchemist Association became the alchemy world''s sovereign. Once the Alchemist Association carried out a boycott towards an alchemist, then this person would be very tragic.


    It was just that Lord Quan Xingzi was good-tempered and would not stoop to Ye Yuan''s level.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and slowly stood up.


    Everyone suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes. Ye Yuan actually became like a different person, on his body actually had the air of a great master. Even those Alchemy Emperors sighed at their inferiority too.


    An old and shabby incense burner appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand. Seeing this incense burner, everyone could not help being dumbfounded.


    They were wondering what kind of medicinal cauldron Ye Yuan would bring out. They did not think that it was actually a dilapidated incense burner.


    This thing could also refine pills?


    "Haha! This brat is indeed trying to impress people by doing something sensational! If a lousy incense burner can refine pills too, that it would truly be the biggest joke in the world!" Liang Yuan burst into laughter.


    The surroundings where Ye Yuan was refining had a noise-isolating array formation set up. He could not hear Liang Yuan''s mocking.


    He held the incense burner on the palm of his left hand and bit a finger on his right hand. A drop of fresh blood dripped onto the incense burner.


    Instantaneously, a terrifying aura undulated out. The smile on Liang Yuan''s face instantly turned stiff right there.


    Quan Xingzi shot to his feet and cried out in shock, "Dragon Sovereign Cauldron! This �� How is this possible? How can the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron possibly be in his hands?!"


    Seeing his master lose composure like so, even if Liang Yuan was any dumber, he would also know that the origin of the worn-out incense burner in Ye Yuan''s hand was extraordinary.


    "Master, what is �� the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron?"


    Forget about Liang Yuan, even those Alchemy Emperors did not know the origins of the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron either.


    Quan Xingzi drew a deep breath and cleverly concealed the scorching heat in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say, "In the ancient era, an exceedingly powerful Alchemy God powerhouse had once appeared in the dragon clan before! Before he achieved Deity Realm, what he used was the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron! This Dragon Sovereign Cauldron accompanied him for half his life! The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron looks just like a small incense burner normally. But once it encounters dragon blood, it will immediately transform to become a top-tier medicinal cauldron!"


    Everyone all drew a cold breath. They did not think that the origin of the shabby incense burner in Ye Yuan''s hands was actually so great!


    The medicinal cauldron of an Alchemy God!


    Even if it was just the medicinal cauldron before becoming a deity, the power was also unimaginable!


    A dumbfounded look showed on Liang Yuan''s face. He was still mocking Ye Yuan before this. Did not expect that in a twinkle, he had his face utterly smacked.


    "Master, just what grade is this Dragon Sovereign Cauldron?" Liang Yuan asked.


    Quan Xingzi fell silent for a moment and opened his mouth to say, "If it must be classified, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron can absolutely squeeze into the ranks of transcendent-grade holy artifacts. However �� the power of the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron should be even stronger than transcendent-grade holy artifacts!"


    "Hiss ��" The group of Alchemy Emperors sucked in cold breaths. Their eyes when looking at that tiny little incense burner in Ye Yuan''s hand were filled with intense heat.


    To an alchemist, the medicinal cauldron was everything!


    In his past life, Ye Yuan''s equipped sword was merely a top-grade holy artifact, while the Limitless Cauldron was an extremely hard to come by transcendent-grade holy artifact.


    Ye Yuan actually had a transcendent-grade holy artifact medicinal cauldron in his hands. How could they stay calm with this?


    In a twinkle, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron expanded several times and was already not much different from ordinary medicinal cauldrons.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    While at this time, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s dilapidated appearance already completely faded away. Dragon qi revolved around the entire medicinal cauldron. Medicinal fragrance filled the air. Inside the medicinal cauldron, transmitted out powerful undulations of array formations.


    Without a doubt, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron was a transcendent-grade holy artifact!


    In a corner, Yue Mengli''s gaze when looking at Yue Mengli was filled with worship and affection.


    This man, even if he lost his previous life''s halo, he was still so dazzling, dazzling to the extent it pricked the eye!


    Ye Yuan slowly came in front of the operating platform. Several dozen stalks of spirit medicine were placed on the operating platform.


    Only to see him wave his sleeves grandly, sweeping those several dozen stalks of spirit medicine into the air.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan abruptly slapped a palm out. An intense tremor emitted in the air. Those several dozen stalks of spirit medicine were directly turned to dust!

 939 Pinnacle Refinement!

    Quan Xingzi had just sat back down and recovered from his shock of seeing the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Seeing Ye Yuan shatter the spirit medicines to dust, he suddenly stood up again.


    "Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo!" Quan Xingzi cried out in shock.


    Not just him, all of the alchemy emperors were incomparably shocked. They did not recognize the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron, but they all knew shattering medicine and condensing the embryo.


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo was a method to extract and refine the medicinal embryo.


    Talking about it was simple, but alchemists who were able to do it were a meager lot!


    Crushing the spirit medicines to dust with one palm, this was nothing difficult. Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo, the hard part was essence energy control, not allowing the spirit medicine''s medicinal strength to flow away.


    The difficulties involved, even for Alchemy Emperor powerhouses who were very experienced old-timers, it was very hard to accomplish it too.


    Ye Yuan was merely 20 over years of age, and he could actually accomplish shattering medicine and condensing the embryo. How could this not astound them?


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo this method was not flaunting technique, but that this kind of extraction and refining method made it easier to form the pill and refine high-quality medicinal pills.


    Shattering the spirit medicines, then integrating them together, this way was more beneficial to the distribution ratio between the various spirit medicines and having sufficient contact.


    This way, during the refinement process, the loss of medicinal strength would be even lesser. The fusion between the various spirit medicines would also be easier.


    But this kind of method, if one''s level of skill was not up to par, it was very easy to lose medicinal strength, and make the medicinal pill even harder to refine instead.


    Therefore, alchemists who dared to shatter medicine and condense the embryo were all undoubtedly people who were extremely experienced and had unparalleled strength!


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo at an age like Ye Yuan''s was virtually impossible to succeed.


    "This brat isn''t deliberately posturing, right? How can shattering medicine and condensing the embryo be so easy to accomplish?" An Alchemy Emperor appraised.


    After the shock, everyone was all somewhat scoffing in contempt towards Ye Yuan''s actions. Liang Yuan took these voices into his ears, and deeply felt that way too.


    This brat was definitely intentionally posturing to show off skill!


    In a while, when he refined a useless pill, see if he still dare to be so cocky!


    But in a corner, Yue Mengli was secretly laughing in her heart. If even Ye Yuan could not accomplish shattering medicine and condensing the embryo, then nobody in this world could do it.


    That one currently refining pills was Qingyun Zi!


    The Ye Yuan who entered a pill refining state was already completely focused without distracting thoughts. Everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.


    Only to see his hands'' actions as swift as lightning, drawing in those shattered until virtually could not be seen spirit medicine fine powder together.


    Very soon, a sparkling and crystal-clear medicinal embryo appeared on his left hand.


    Done with these, his right hand did not pause in the slightest, drawing a circle high in the air. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame immediately condensed to form a fire ring.


    Ye Yuan''s right hand made waves-like movements. That fire ring gradually started to surge.


    Rumble!


    On top of that fire ring, another fire ring actually condensed and formed once more!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! Nine-Story Pagoda! This boy is simply god-like!"


    "Nine-Story Pagoda is an extremely profound fire-controlling art! Even you and I are unable to accomplish it too!"


    "This fire-controlling art requires repeated tempering. Even if one trained for a hundred years, they might not be able to learn the rudiments either. This boy is just around 20 years old, how in the world did he do it?"


    The crowd of Alchemy Emperors'' cries of shock rose one after another, being utterly astonished by Ye Yuan''s fire-controlling means.


    It was only to see the fire rings in Ye Yuan''s hand pile on one layer by one layer. It became the shape of a pagoda very quickly.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan formed an incantation with his right hand. The Nine-Story Pagoda directly sunk into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron. Instantaneously, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron started seething with excitement.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest. Lightly pushing with his left hand, the medicinal embryo entered the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Following which, Ye Yuan''s body was akin to a wandering dragon, revolving around the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and firing in spells non-stop. The movements of his hands and feet were extremely profound.


    With this, cries of alarm sounded out again!


    "Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art! It''s the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art! He �� how can he possibly grasp such a profound refining method?"


    Starting from when Ye Yuan stood up, the group of Alchemy Emperors was seemingly like a bunch of primary school students watching a master''s exhibition match, being shocked by Ye Yuan''s performance unceasingly.


    First was shattering medicine and condensing the embryo, then the Tier 8 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, the Nine-Story Pagoda fire-controlling art, and lastly, this Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art. It thoroughly set them ablaze.


    A roughly 20 years old young man, how could he possibly have such profound alchemy skills?


    This scene was simply unbelievable!


    The Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art was one of the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most refinement methods. Those able to grasp this refinement method were all the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most existences. How did Ye Yuan acquire it?


    Furthermore, his refining method was even extremely well-practiced. This was simply too inconceivable.


    Yue Jianqiu''s eyes flickered, faintly having some surmises in his heart. Could it be that Ye Yuan really had extremely deep ties to the Soul Martial Divine King?


    Otherwise, how could a 20 years old brat possibly have such attainments in alchemy?


    His gaze involuntarily looked towards his daughter but saw that Yue Mengli was long mesmerized from watching.


    Yue Jianiqu could not help heaving a sigh. His daughter had always been cold. When had she ever displayed such a young girl''s side before?


    Ye Yuan''s state was getting better and better. The maneuver of his hands and footwork became increasingly profound. Gradually, a strange kind of atmosphere undulated out.


    Those present were all Alchemy Emperor powerhouses. They detected this aspect very acutely!


    Ye Yuan entered the Legendary Realm!


    To be able to exhibit the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art to the Legendary Realm, how heaven-defying an Alchemy Dao attainment did this require?!


    All the alchemy emperors exchanged glances, seeing the astoundment in the other party''s eyes.


    This young man''s attainments in the Alchemy Path was seriously too terrifying!


    Quan Xingzi''s eyes were glued onto Ye Yuan''s actions as if wanting to see through him completely. He really wanted to know why he could not refine the Soul Separating Pill.


    But the Ye Yuan in the Legendary Realm, each move and each stance all had a feeling of being an ensemble of nature. This sort of feeling already gradually aligned with Heavenly Dao.


    One could say that Ye Yuan had already gradually touched the pinnacle realm of Alchemy Dao.


    Under such a state, refining out any kind of medicinal pill would also not be strange.


    He wanted to know, but he could not perceive why.


    Quan Xingzi''s alchemy strength left no room for doubt. Even when Ye Yuan was at his prime, wanting to beat Quan Xingzi was not something that easy either.


    But this Soul Separating Pill was different.


    It was a pill formula that Ye Yuan took out. How the duration and degree of heating between the spirit medicines should be grasped, only Ye Yuan himself knew.


    Furthermore, this sort of thing could be understood but not expressed with words.


    Although it was just a Tier 8 medicinal pill, the difficulty of refining was indisputable. Even with Ye Yuan''s pill formula, this medicinal pill was also not what ordinary people could refine.


    In a blink, half a day''s time passed.


    This half a day, the Alchemy Emperors all stared at Ye Yuan refining the pill without blinking.


    But they did not feel the least bit weary and dreary. On the contrary, each and every one of their faces all had agitated looks like they had obtained the most valuable treasure.


    This level of master-class refinement was not that easy to come across.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan gave a loud cry: "Condense!"


    All of a sudden, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron emitted an incomparably resplendent brilliance, piercing until people could not open their eyes.


    Not long after, the splendor faded away, and Ye Yuan''s figure appeared.

 940 Just a Part-Time Occupation

    "So fragrant! Is this the fragrance of the Soul Separating Pill?"


    A thick medicinal fragrance wafted out along with the wind, tunneling into everyone''s nostrils, and refreshing the mind.


    On the table, a crystal-ball like medicinal pill lied in a jade container quietly.


    When the group of Alchemy Emperors saw the medicinal pill, all of them revealed astonished looks.


    "Transcendent-grade! Transcendent-grade Soul Separating Pill!" An Alchemy Emperor exclaimed in shock.


    These Alchemy Emperors could not even refine a defective product, but this initial-rank Alchemy Venerable youth before their eyes actually refined a transcendent-grade Soul Separating Pill. This was also too freakish, right?


    Soul Separating Pill, although it was just a Tier 8 medicinal pill, in terms of refining difficulty, it was absolutely harder than the vast majority of Tier 9 medicinal pills!


    From a certain degree, it was even harder to refine than high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills!


    Otherwise, how could Quan Xingzi this peak Alchemy Emperor possibly be unable to refine it?


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan lightly moved his body a bit, but his feet gave way, and he almost tumbled to the ground. Luckily, he held onto the table, that was how he did not fall down.


    Yue Mengli''s expression changed, arrived beside Ye Yuan with a large stride, and supported him.


    "Ye Yuan, are you alright?" Yue Mengli asked concernedly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said feebly, "I''m fine, just a little drained."


    With Ye Yuan''s present cultivation realm, refining the Soul Separating Pill was indeed rather forceful. Furthermore, during the refinement process, he suppressed his soul force to initial-rank Alchemy Venerable the whole time. This way would make his pressure skyrocket.


    Actually, Ye Yuan''s present soul force magnitude already far exceeded initial-rank Alchemy Venerable. If he erupted with full force, refining the Soul Separating Pill also would not be so arduous.


    It was just that some things were not appropriate to show in front of so many people.


    Especially with Quan Xingzi this sly old fox present, slightly giving himself away a little would be found out. Therefore, during the refinement process, Ye Yuan had constantly exercised extreme caution.


    "The medicinal pill is already completed. I wonder if anyone has any doubts?" Ye Yuan said to the audience.


    "None! A flawless refinement! Honestly speaking, seeing Little Brother Ye''s pill refinement, this elderly self feels like so many years of living were considered to have been utterly wasted!" An alchemy emperor shook his head and said.


    "Refinement technique, ratio of spirit medicines, were exactly the same as on the pill formula! Even if there''s really any underhanded activities, very sorry, pardon this old man for not being able to perceive it," another alchemy emperor said.


    "If we really have to say, then it''s that our skills are not there yet! Little Brother Ye''s alchemy skills simply take people''s breath away in amazement! This old man admires it! I wonder if Lord Quan Xingzi has any thoughts?"


    Utilizing the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art to the Legendary Realm, if these Alchemy Emperors still could not perceive the disparity, then they would be a bunch of fools.


    Some medicinal pills, could not be refined based solely on the pill formula.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    When the medicinal pill''s composition was complicated to a certain degree, what alchemists contended in was refinement skill, as well as understanding towards medicinal theory.


    Very clearly, in these aspects, their disparity with the initial-rank Alchemy Venerable Ye Yuan was too great!


    Quan Xingzi gave a very meaningful glance at Ye Yuan and slowly opened his mouth to say, "There''s naturally no problem. Truly didn''t expect that Little Friend''s pill refining skills are actually so transcendent! Having seen Little Friend''s refinement, this old man thought of another genius alchemist."


    The group of Alchemy Emperors was startled. Someone opened his mouth to say, "Could what Your Excellency be talking about be �� Lord Qingyun Zi?"


    When Yue Mengli heard this name, her heart involuntarily pounded, her expression becoming ugly.


    Fortunately, the rest of the people''s expressions were very ugly too. Yue Mengli''s expression did not have any areas which drew people''s attention.


    And Ye Yuan, it was as if they were talking about another person, an expression of indifference towards honor or humiliation.


    Quan Xingzi nodded his head and said, "Although the Medicine King Hall isn''t on particularly good terms with our Alchemist Association, Qingyun Zi''s Alchemy Dao attainments are indeed remarkably startling! But I observed that Little Friend Ye''s alchemy skills will likely be even above Qingyun Zi''s in the future!"


    All of the alchemy emperors were taken aback and could not help looking towards Ye Yuan with extremely astonished gazes.


    These words coming out from the mouth of the Alchemist Association''s Lord Vice-Chairman, the weight was extraordinary!


    This was extremely high praise and honor towards Ye Yuan. This sentence of Quan Xingzi''s was sufficient to let Ye Yuan''s name shake the Divine Realm!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Alchemy Dao, is it? This is just my part-time occupation. This Ye''s pursuit is the paramount Martial Path! If Senior wishes to invite me to join the Alchemist Association, please save your breath."


    The moment these words came out, the group of Alchemy Emperors was collectively dumbstruck, including Quan Xingzi.


    Part-time occupation �� could even have such standards. Then wouldn''t they all, these full-time alchemists, have to find a piece of tofu to commit suicide and be done with it?


    Posturing was not postured this way!


    Exasperating people to death without paying for it?


    Yet, they did not know that to Ye Yuan, this was his genuine thoughts now.


    No matter how formidable his Alchemy Path strength, it could not help him take revenge either.


    Only by taking his revenge could he place all of his body and mind on alchemy.


    The Liang Yuan beside Quan Xingzi already did not know what he should say at this time.


    The haughty look right at the start had already completely disappeared from him.


    Observing Ye Yuan''s pill refinement process, it didn''t only shock his heart, but also his entire being!


    His age was even quite a bit older compared to Ye Yuan. But the disparity between the two people was simply comparing a firefly to the bright moon.


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s one sentence repelled Quan Xingzi back. The final result was naturally departing on a sour note.


    That night, Ye Yuan''s condition already recovered to its peak state, and he brought Yue Mengli away into closed-seclusion.


    Through this ceremony, Yue Jianqiu became even more firmly convinced regarding that conjecture.


    Perhaps, Yue Mengli following Ye Yuan would really be a pretty good choice.


    Being connected by marriage with the Ten Great Divine Kings was something that many family clans did not even dare to think about.


    The Ten Great Divine Kings'' existence was too special in the Divine Realm.


    Furthermore, according to what Ye Yuan said, if Yue Mengli''s illness could obtain a fundamental cure, her future accomplishments would be immeasurable!


    Perhaps, the Yue Family would still have to rely on Yue Mengli in the future.


    Thinking this way, Yue Jianqiu did not have that much psychological resistance regarding the two people staying together in a room, and also just turned a blind eye to it.


    As for whether Ye Yuan could triumph over the Bright Moon Competition''s champion or not, that was not what he could control.


    But to really talk about it, he was still pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was still a little too low.


    Participating in the Bright Moon Competition this time were quite a number of major factions'' juniors. Among them were some who stood out above the masses, who already broke through to Dao Profound Realm!


    First Level Dao Profound versus First Level Phaseless, Yue Jianqiu seriously could not think of what kind of means Ye Yuan would use to win.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not have too much happy thoughts about staying together in a room with Yue Mengli.


    Yue Mengli''s state was actually already very terrible.


    These few years, Yue Mengli had been using the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid to nourish her divine soul all along. The Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid was able to bolster up the divine soul. But it was precisely because so that the two types of spirit physique''s scramble would be even fiercer.


    Each time it flared up, Yue Mengli would also be in great agony.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Mengli and said with a light sigh, "It''s been hard on you these few years!"


    But Yue Mengli said with a smile on her face, "Meeting you, this pain is all sweet memories!"

 941 Inkflow Spirit Dividing Ar

    People, no matter how powerful, they would all have a soft side.


    In the past, when Ji Qingyun died, Yue Mengli''s heart was like dead ashes too.


    If she did not encounter Ye Yuan, maybe she would have quietly died in the Endless World.


    But a chance encounter let her find the driving force to carry on living once more.


    This was also why she could hold on until now.


    If there was no Ye Yuan, even with the Azure Spirit Heart Fusing Fluid, Yue Mengli would also absolutely not survive until now.


    "These few years have passed, I believe you have also researched the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art considerably too, right?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art was the divine soul splitting art that Ye Yuan imparted to Yue Mengli back then.


    Yue Mengli nodded slightly. This close to a decade''s time, Yue Mengli had basically given up on cultivating, her cultivation realm remaining at a standstill. When she had free time, she would study this Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art.


    "This technique is very profound. It can actually divide the divine soul into two, and let each grow by itself. It''s simply inconceivable! Li-er studied for ten years and still have many areas that I''m unclear," Yue Mengli said.


    Yue Mengli was naturally gifted with exceptional intelligence. But wanting to learn this divine soul mystic art inside out was not easy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art was obtained by me in an ancient record. It''s an ancient Divine Dao secret art! It''s a shame that that ancient record was only an incomplete copy. This divine soul mystic art is heavily incomplete. So when cultivating Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, the risks are extremely great. Hence, when I gave you this mystic art back then, I repeatedly exhorted you not to cultivate it. A single mishap and you would end up with an outcome of your divine soul extinguishing."


    Yue Mengli revealed a look of realization and said, "So that''s how it is! No wonder when I researched it, I keep feeling that it''s hard to understand."


    "Actually, when I obtained this mystic art back then, I planned to cultivate it too. But before that, I had to think of ways to restore this mystic art. Sadly, before this thing started, I met with an extermination calamity," Ye Yuan sighed and said.


    Yue Mengli''s body stiffened up when she heard it. Although Ye Yuan said it calmly, the blow that incident back then was to an Alchemy Emperor powerhouse who had reached the acme of perfection could only be imagined!


    She could feel how heavy a burden Ye Yuan was shouldering on him.


    Her eyes became slightly wet as she said softly, "Ye Yuan, I hope that I can carry the load together with you and proceed forward!"


    Ye Yuan gently wiped away the tears for her and said with a faint smile, "I''ve never thought of drawing support from others before. However �� you''re an exception. Someday, I, Ye Yuan, will definitely take you along and reach the peak, and we''ll assault the transcendent Deity Realm!"


    Yue Mengli was incredibly touched and nodded her head repeatedly.


    "But this mystic art is incomplete. How should I cultivate?" Yue Mengli said, uncertain.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Before meeting you, this mystic art has always slumbered in my memories. I never thought of it at all. But after meeting you, I started to set about to restore this mystic art."


    Yue Mengli said in surprise, "You �� You really restored it? This Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art is an ancient Divine Dao secret art!"


    Yue Mengli''s astonishment was written fully on her face.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    These ten years, the thing she did the most was studying the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art. But facing this incomplete cultivation method, it was a little overwhelming to even understand, let alone talk about cultivating.


    But Ye Yuan actually only used ten year''s time to restore an ancient Divine Dao secret art to its original state!


    This �� How monstrous a talent did this require?!


    Divine dao cultivation methods, not one was not abnormally abstruse. Those whose talents were slightly lacking could not even achieve learning the rudiments.


    An incomplete mystic art, the difficulty of cultivating soared even more exponentially, let alone talk about restoring the cultivation method!


    But Ye Yuan actually restored this cultivation method. How could this not shock her?


    "Huhu, actually, it isn''t as terrifying as you imagine. Although this Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art is an ancient divine dao secret art, it''s only the section beneath the Deity Realm. Connecting it carefully, it can still be restored," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan with a look of worship and sighed in admiration, "Milord is truly a genius! Just this one matter is sufficient to cause a stir in the Divine Realm!"


    Ye Yuan touched on the matter casually, but Yue Mengli was not some naive little girl.


    Although she was not an arrogant individual, she was still quite confident in her own natural endowments.


    If not because of the spirit physique triggering, resulting in the divine soul tearing, she would definitely have stepped into Dao Profound Realm now already.


    She used ten year''s time but did not even figure out the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, while Ye Yuan used ten year''s time to restore this mystic art thoroughly.


    The disparity involved could not be measured with distance!


    But the more it was so, the prouder Yue Mengli was.


    This was the Lord Qingyun ZI she idolized. Being able to restore a cultivation method was the most normal thing.


    Resulting in when she was talking, she would unconsciously use honorifics.


    Ye Yuan smiled and opened his mouth and said, "Alright. Now, I''ll explain this cultivation method for you in detail. Even if the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art is restored, cultivating it is also very dangerous. Splitting the divine soul, even the Ten Great Divine Kings don''t dare to rashly attempt it either."


    Yue Mengli nodded her head, and started to put away her thoughts, and listened to Ye Yuan''s explanation attentively.


    ...


    When Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli were in closed-seclusion, Bright Moon City was in a mess.


    The cause was that the Yue Family added a new rule to the Bright Moon Competition: the champion of the Bright Moon Competition would contend for the only spot with Ye Yuan!


    For some time, the entire Bright Moon City burst into an uproar.


    "Who the hell is Ye Yuan? Why should he obtain such preferential treatment?"


    "The geniuses who came to Bright Moon City this time, the truly formidable ones are those few. I''ve never heard before of anyone called Ye Yuan. Wonder where this guy popped out from."


    "Investigate for me! Must dig out just who the hell this Ye Yuan is! Ferret him out! This young master, I, guarantee that I won''t beat him to death!"


    The entire Bright Moon City seethed with excitement. Chaotic information started flying everywhere.


    Some said that Ye Yuan was a certain major power''s last disciple, whose strength had already reached Dao Profound Realm, and was incomparably fearsome.


    Some said that Ye Yuan was some distant relative of the Yue Family. Because he and Yue Mengli were betrothed when they were young, the Yue Family was forced to set this rule.


    All in all, all sorts of versions of rumors flew everywhere. But without exception, this never-seen-before Ye Yuan was a peerless genius whose combat strength was off the charts!


    To dare clash alone with the victor, this guy had to be formidable even if he did not want to!


    ...


    At Drunken Dream Inn, Bright Moon City''s top-notch wine-house, where Waning Moon Falling Petals Wine enjoyed widespread renown.


    At this time, three young men were currently drinking alcohol at the top level. These young people were all of striking appearances. One look, and it was clear that they were top experts.


    "Heh heh, a rookie who just broke through to Phaseless Realm is actually going to clash with the champion. Did Yue Jianqiu eat the wrong medicine?" said a young man.


    "Jiang Yancai, regardless of whether or not it''s confronting that rookie, you have no hope! Yue Mengli is mine, Bai Han''s!" said a young man who called himself Bai Han.


    "Who doesn''t know how to boast? If you have the capabilities, showcase your true abilities on the stage! Your, Bai Han''s Coldmoon Late Autumn, I really want to experience it a little!" Jiang Yancai said with a cold smile.


    "Rest assured, I''ll let you witness it." Bai Han did not show the least bit of weakness.


    "Alright, stop fighting! Each of us has our own trump cards. Before going up the stage, nobody knows who''ll win or lose either. But I heard that Zhuo Bufan has also taken fancy on the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm''s qualifications this time."


    Hearing this name, Jiang Yancai and Bai Han''s expressions changed.

 942 Powerless to Turn the Tables

    On the arena, came waves of rumbling sounds. The battle situation was abnormally intense.


    Although the Bright Moon Competition only had one spot, the allure was too great. Therefore, the young martial artists who registered this time were several tens of thousands of people!


    What was currently taking place at the moment was only the preliminary selections.


    The contestants were divided into several tournament regions to carry out several rounds of battle. The 16 people decided, in the end, would undergo the last final onslaught.


    Hence, each and every one of these genius martial artists who bragged and boasted of being formidable unleashed out all of their might, in order to charge into the finals.


    This period of time, there was already news that spread. Yue Mengli was currently receiving a mysterious expert''s treatment and was very likely to recover her health.


    The moment this news appeared, those genius martial artists were all like they were injected with stimulants.


    One had to know that Yue Mengli was an unparalleled beauty famous in the Divine Realm. In terms of beauty, only the Spirit Snow Divine King who remained reclusive could rival her.


    They did not even need to think about the Spirit Snow Divine King. But Yue Mengli was within grasp.


    As long as they won the Bright Moon Competition!


    To be able to bring a beauty back and also obtain the qualifications to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, this kind of temptation was sufficient to drive the genius martial artists crazy!


    The preliminary selections were already underway for five day''s time. The geniuses fought in chaotic battles. The battle situation was incomparably intense.


    But after five days had passed, the situation also gradually cleared up.


    Super Holy Land Skypool Celestial Empire''s successor, Zhuo Bufan, became the top favorite to seize the championship.


    Second only to Zhuo Bufan was Vastsun City''s Zhou Yan.


    In addition, Rank One Holy Land, Crimson Cloud Sect''s successor, Bai Han, Big Dipper Holy Land''s successor, Jiang Yancai, as well as Spirit Crane Holy Land''s successor, Tang Yu, so on and so forth, were also favorites to take the championship.


    These genius martial artists were all First Level Dao Profound experts without exception!


    To be able to step into emperor realm at their age, they were absolutely all first-rate existences. These young men would become the Divine Realm''s new generation''s powerhouses in the future.


    These people''s strength should all be almost on par. As for who could win in the end, it might still have to depend on live performance.


    But with so many genius martial artists, there was bound to be some dark horses that pop out.


    What made people the most surprised was that there was actually still a Phaseless Realm martial artist among the top 16.


    That was a youth dressed in black clothing. His face was handsome, but that pair of deep eyes told everyone that this person was not to be trifled with.


    "Where this did Lin Chao pop out from? Heard that in his last fight, he defeated a Rank One Holy Land''s genius martial artist and advanced."


    "On his data wrote that he came from the Divine Martial Hall. But what kind of faction is this Divine Martial Hall? Never seemed to have heard it before!"


    "Reckon that it''s just a small faction. This Lin Chao being able to advance is actually good luck as well. His tournament region actually doesn''t have Dao Profound Realm geniuses. Otherwise, it would definitely have nothing to do with him anymore."


    "En, makes sense. There was a Rank One Holy Land''s Dao Profound Realm genius who was unlucky and got put in the same group as Zhou Bufan. The result was abysmal."


    The final 16 people who were decided, the vast majority were actually within expectations. But a dark horse like Lin Chao became everyone''s topic of conversation.


    Lin Chao stood on stage, and looked at everything below the stage coldly, sneeringly coldly in his heart, "Ye Yuan, when you see me, you''ll definitely get a huge shock, right? This time, I''ll personally defeat you, and then make you watch me marry your woman!"


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would recognize that this Lin Chao was precisely the Endless World Purple Mansion Sect''s Lin Chao!


    Back then, he was beaten to serious injuries by Ye Yuan and dying. In the end, he disappeared.


    It was unexpected that he would actually show up in the Divine Realm now!


    But the current Lin Chao''s strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath. Not showing himself for many years, his cultivation realm actually already surpassed Ye Yuan''s, reaching peak Phaseless Realm!


    In the arena match previously, he defeated a Rank One Holy Land''s young genius with ease.


    It was evident that his strength was likely much stronger compared to even his cultivation realm itself.


    Of course, the Bright Moon Competition this time, the top favorite was still Zhuo Bufan.


    The foundation of a super holy land was not what ordinary people could imagine. Even existences like the Ten Great Divine Kings did not dare to rashly provoke a super holy land either.


    Zhuo Bufan, this super holy land''s successor, his strength was naturally extraordinary.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    However, Lin Chao, who was only at the peak Ninth Level Phaseless Realm, seemed to think nothing of him.


    ...


    At this time, the Yue Mengli who cultivated the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, the divine soul in her sea of consciousness actually transformed into a mass of chaos!


    "Li-er, now it has reached the most critical moment, splitting the divine soul! This process is very painful, and it is also very dangerous! Consume the Soul Separating Pill first. When your divine soul splits into two, it will restore your two damaged divine souls with the greatest speed, and ensure that you tide over the most dangerous juncture! In order to prepare for the worst, my soul force will enter your sea of consciousness to assist you!" Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression.


    Splitting the divine soul, even a powerhouse like Ye Yuan needed to be very cautious as well. A moment of carelessness, and it would be the outcome of the soul dissipating.


    Ye Yuan had the help of the Soul Suppressing Pearl and would not have any problems. But Yue Mengli did not. Hence, Ye Yuan also made perfectly sound preparations, attempting to lower the risk to the minimum.


    Yue Mengli drew a deep breath and nodded her head slightly as she said, "Alright, I''m starting!"


    Yue Mengli started splitting her divine soul according to the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art''s incantation! Right at the start, the feeling of pain that penetrated to the depths of the heart engulfed her entire body like lightning.


    "Ugh ��"


    At this time, Yue Mengli''s divine soul was not being torn at by two kinds of spirit physiques, but truly tearing apart!


    This sort of agony was a hundred times stronger than the ripping!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was also very ugly. He said in a solemn voice, "The fighting spirit is aroused by the first roll of drums, depleted by the second, and exhausted by the third! Li-er, you mustn''t give up halfway!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yue Mengli no longer hesitated, revolving the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art desperately.


    That cloud of chaos gradually divided into two like cells dividing!


    At the same time, the Soul Separating Pill''s medicinal strength finally unleashed its effect. A bout of gentle energy gradually wrapped the two clouds of bisected chaos up and started restoring with all its might.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that Yue Mengli''s Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art''s revolving got slower and slower.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. He knew that Yue Mengli almost could not hold on anymore. This sort of tearing pain was simply what normal people could not imagine.


    "Persevere, Li-er!" Ye Yuan shouted.


    Yet, Yue Mengli''s consciousness already gradually blurred, completely unable to hear Ye Yuan''s words anymore.


    At this rate, Yue Mengli would die for sure!


    Although he had long anticipated that this hurdle was not easy to cross, Ye Yuan did not think that it was difficult to this sort of extent.


    Ye Yuan knew that Yue Mengli was tormented by the two types of spirit physiques all year round. Her divine soul was actually already incredibly weak. Using the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art would cause a massive load on the divine soul.


    But Ye Yuan had no other options as well.


    If she still did not use the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, Yue Mengli''s condition would become increasingly worse.


    "Damn it!"


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth. A boundless soul force charged towards Yue Mengli''s chaos divine soul and frenziedly repaired the damage brought about by the tearing.


    However, it was still trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water!


    Yue Mengli''s consciousness became more and more feeble. That bisected chaos gradually became faint, and was actually going to utterly dissipate!The chaos used here refers to: at the beginning of the universe, there was only chaos.

 943 Enchanting Springtime Sigh

    Ye Yuan''s soul force poured towards Yue Mengli without heed for his own life, attempting to salvage the deteriorating situation.


    However, Yue Mengli''s life was trickling away at high-speed at this time. Even if Ye Yuan desperately plugged it up, he was powerless to turn the tides too.


    "Damn it! Soul Suppressing Pearl, aren''t you very powerful? Quickly save Li-er!" Ye Yuan was very anxious and could not help cursing.


    At this very moment, the only method Ye Yuan could think of was the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    Yet, no matter how he swore, the Soul Suppressing Pearl did not have any reaction.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s soul force was exhausted fully, while Yue Mengli''s divine soul became increasingly fainter, already on the verge of disappearing.


    Ye Yuan could not care about anything else. His divine soul tunneled into Yue Mengli''s sea of consciousness with a whoosh, fusing together with her divine soul.


    He poured his own divine soul''s origin power crazily into Yue Mengli''s divine soul, only in hopes of being able to save Yue Mengli!


    Pouring in origin power was equivalent to burning his own divine soul. Even if he could save Yue Mengli, it would be very hard for himself to survive.


    Ye Yuan was using his own life as the price to save Yue Mengli here!


    Sure enough, under this virtually insane action of Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli''s divine soul finally recovered some vitality and condensed together once more.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help being overjoyed. His origin power poured into Yue Mengli''s divine soul with even less heed for his life.


    For a moment, the two people''s divine souls started to mix together in perfect harmony.


    "Urgh �� Ye Yuan, you �� What are you doing? You don''t want your life anymore?"


    Finally, Yue Mengli recovered some consciousness and discovered Ye Yuan''s crazy action, and involuntarily turned pale with fright.


    She was very clear what Ye Yuan doing this signified!


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all. He beamed radiantly and said, "Letting me watch you die, I can''t do it. Don''t care about me, carry on revolving the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art and divide the divine soul! Quickly, otherwise, the two of us will die!"


    Yue Mengli clenched her teeth tightly. Her heart was dripping blood.


    She never thought that cultivating the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, the final result was actually like this.


    If she had long anticipated this conclusion, she would have rather died than cultivate it.


    But she knew that what Ye Yuan said was right. If she was indecisive, the two of them would have to die!


    What she could do now was to finish the divine soul division as soon as possible. This way, Ye Yuan would no longer need to pour origin power into her.


    Yue Mengli''s tears were like they broke the dam, flowing down unceasingly.


    As tears ran down her face, she revolved the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, accelerating the divine soul''s fission.


    At this very moment, the pain of the divine soul splitting could not match up to a one-ten thousandth of her heartache!


    Yue Mengli felt like somebody was carrying a knife, and gouging out her heart''s flesh blade by blade.


    Gradually, Yue Mengli''s divine soul became increasingly thicker, while Ye Yuan''s divine soul became fainter and fainter.


    His life was rapidly fading away.


    Suddenly, Yue Mengli''s entire body trembled. Her divine soul finally split into two!


    The Soul Separating Pill and Ye Yuan''s origin power was repairing her injuries frenziedly.


    "Ye Yuan, quickly stop!" Yue Mengli felt like she was almost suffocating, shouting herself hoarse.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    That illusionary divine soul of Ye Yuan''s smiled slightly and said, "No need to worry, Li-er, I don''t believe that it''s able to watch me die!"


    Yue Mengli froze. She had yet to figure out what was going on when she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, and she suddenly ended up in darkness.


    Arriving at this stretch of dark space, Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief, separating himself away from Yue Mengli''s divine soul.


    "Ye Yuan, a-are you alright?"


    Yue Mengli was still a mass of chaos currently. No, wait, it should be two masses of chaos. That voice originated from within the chaos.


    Ye Yuan''s body was already incomparably faint as if it could dissipate at any time.


    "Arriving here, we should both be safe already! Quickly revolve the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art and restore your main body!" Ye Yuan said.


    Although she did not understand what was going on, Yue Mengli still complied.


    Right at this time, motes of fluorescent light appeared inside the dark space, akin to a resplendent galaxy; simply too beautiful to take in all at once.


    Very soon, Yue Mengli recovered to her original body''s appearance, and actually became the appearance of two Yue Mengli.


    Only to see Yue Mengli reciting the incantation silently. One of the figures directly scurried into the other body, and actually fused into one!


    Seeing the situation, Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, "Heh, finally succeeded! In the future, you won''t have to suffer the pain of the divine soul tearing anymore!"


    But Yue Mengli did not care about this. She went forward to support Ye Yuan and rebuked, "You were too reckless! Expending so much origin power at all once, you''ll die! If you die, what''s the point of me living alone?"


    When Ji Qingyun, Yue Mengli was already overwhelmed with grief to the extent of wishing to die. At that time, she still did not have anything going on with Ji Qingyun.


    Now that she obtained Ye Yuan''s acknowledgment, it was considered secretly pledging herself for life. If Ye Yuan died, she would definitely follow and depart without the slightest hesitation!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "I said before, we''re going to reach the peak together! If you die first, even if I roam the Divine Realm unhindered, what''s the point? Although I wasn''t very certain, I know that it will save me! It''s just that I never thought that it would actually drag you in too."


    Yue Mengli''s eyes flickered, and she said curiously, "What on earth is it? Where are we? It seems like �� our divine souls are imprisoned."


    "This place is the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s space. As for what the hell it is, I don''t know how to say it either. However, it should be a very remarkable divine item!" Ye Yuan said.


    At this time, those countless fluorescent light actually moved, and swarmed towards Ye Yuan here!


    The fluorescent lights directly landed on Ye Yuan, and actually let his body condense anew.


    Seeing this inconceivable sight, the Yue Mengli who was always calm could not help opening her mouth wide.


    "This �� How magical! These fluorescent lights are actually able to replenish your origin power!" Yue Mengli said in wonder.


    The divine soul''s origin power was akin to the martial artist''s blood essence; the most essential existence.


    Furthermore, once the divine soul''s origin power was depleted, it was even harder to replenish than blood essence.


    Ye Yuan virtually exhausted his origin power in order to save her and already reached the point where the oil ran out, and the lamp was expiring; possible to die at any moment. But these fluorescent light actually directly replenished Ye Yuan''s origin power back.


    This scene was too magical!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This is nothing. The last time, my divine soul was practically torn into shreds, and the Soul Suppressing Pearl helped me to restore it."


    Yue Mengli was startled and had a deeper understanding toward this Soul Suppressing Pearl''s miraculousness. It was just that she did not think that Ye Yuan actually encountered such a dangerous incident before.


    Ye Yuan saw that she was curious and recounted the matter of running into Fiendgod Jia Lan in the boneyard, making Yue Mengli endlessly shocked.


    "There''s actually really a fiend race in this world! The fiendgod coming into being, a storm of great bloodshed is probably going to be stirred up in the Divine Realm!" Yue Mengli said worriedly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, but said with a bitter smile, "What''s giving me a headache now is, how should we go out! The last time, I was trapped for a full one year''s time!"

 944 Powerful Lin Chao

    "One year! Then when we go out, wouldn''t the flowers have turned yellow?" Yue Mengli said in shock.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Either way, I can''t control this space at all. When we go out is entirely its call."


    Yue Mengli could not help being speechless and had a clearer understanding regarding this Soul Suppressing Pearl''s magicalness.


    She knew that Ye Yuan''s means were immensely formidable. In terms of attainments in the field of divine soul, he was the Divine Realm''s top person. Even he could not do anything as well, showing that this Soul Suppressing Pearl''s origin was definitely extraordinary.


    Crack! Crack!


    Inside the dark space, all of a sudden, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Bolts of lightning pervaded within the entire area of space and actually formed an ocean of lightning.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Mengli''s expression became incomparably ugly.


    "What powerful lightning force!" Yue Mengli said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan said, "If my conjectures are correct, if we can withstand these bolts of lightning baptism, we should be able to get out."


    Yue Mengli froze and said in astonishment, "These bolts of lightning are much more powerful compared to even heavenly tribulation. Going inside, our souls will disintegrate."


    Ye Yuan smiled. His figure moved, and he directly entered the lightning ocean!


    "Ugh ��"


    The moment he entered the lightning ocean, Ye Yuan''s entire body was immediately enveloped by over a dozen bolts of lightning, putting his whole body in a paralyzed state, and he could not resist exhaling in pain.


    Ye Yuan did not dodge nor avoid. He just allowed those bolts of lightning to encircle him.


    When Yue Mengli saw this scene, she involuntarily shuddered. However, she took a deep breath and also plunged into the lightning ocean.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Lightning instantly enveloped Yue Mengli, making her had a feeling as if her soul was about to dissipate.


    But seeing Ye Yuan grit his teeth and persevere, Yue Mengli''s stubborn temper flared up too, and actually gritted her teeth and endured it without making a sound.


    No idea how long had passed either, Yue Mengli felt like her divine soul was already feeble to the extreme, really on the verge of dissipating.


    But right at this moment, she suddenly felt those lightning force directly enter inside her body, and actually started nourishing her divine soul.


    Very soon, Yue Mengli sensed that her divine soul was rapidly recovering!


    She suddenly snapped open both eyes, only to see Ye Yuan currently a little way off, looking at her with a wide grin.


    "How is it? Do you feel that your state is unexpectedly good?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yue Mengli was startled and could not help examining her divine soul, discovering to her amazement that her divine soul was much stronger compared to before.


    "This �� What''s going on here?" Yue Mengli said in shock.


    "This seems to be a kind of tempering. As long as we pass the test, there will be unexpected harvests!" Ye Yuan said.


    Unconvinced, Yue Mengli said, "If we''re unable to pass the test? Would our souls really dissipate?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Seems like it won''t. But as long as we don''t pass the test for a day, we''ll always be trapped here."


    Ye Yuan had the experience of being baptized by will suppression before. Combining with the lightning ocean this time, he summed up some rules of the dark space.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and said with a smile, "This lightning ocean, the deeper in we go, the greater the impact on the divine soul. As long as we work together with one heart, what would it even matter?"


    Yue Mengli''s face reddened slightly. Nodding her head, she reached out her hand and held onto Ye Yuan. The two people headed towards the depths of the lightning ocean side by side.


    ...


    The Bright Moon Competition top 16''s battles, drew countless people''s attention.


    Zhuo Bufan left people far behind in the dust, overcoming all difficulties along the way, and already took the lead to obtain the finals'' spot.


    And the other spot was emerging between Lin Chao and Zhou Yan!


    One could say that Zhou Yan and Lin Chao, these two people, were both dark horses of the Bright Moon Competition this time!


    Before this, Zhou Yan had only just broken through to Dao Profound Realm. Among these genius martial artists, he could be said to be at the bottom of the barrel.


    But he relied on the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, took Bai Han down, and obtained the semi-finals'' qualifications.


    As for Lin Chao, he was even more a dark horse among dark horses.


    Everyone all thought that he was lucky, and that was how he could enter the top 16. No one expected that his strength was actually unexpectedly daunting!


    Facing Tang Yu in the first round, Lin Chao actually only used ten moves to defeat the opponent and entered the top eight.


    Against Jiang Yancai in the second round, Lin Chao similarly only used ten moves.


    Two rounds, both used ten moves, defeating two First Level Dao Profound genius martial artists neat and tidily.


    With this, it astounded everyone!


    Everybody all realized that this unknown young man did not seem to be so simple!


    One had to know that Tang Yu and Jiang Yancai were both young talents whose fame spread far and wide in the Divine Realm. Their strengths were incomparably fearsome.


    But Lin Chao, with only peak Ninth Level Phaseless cultivation, defeated them in succession. The might of his strength was clear at a glance.


    The disparity between Dao Profound Realm and Phaseless Realm was not just a tiny bit.


    Dao Profound Realm was the peak boundary of the Divine Realm''s martial artists! Many peerlessly talented genius martial artists were unable to leap over Phaseless Realm, and step into Dao Profound Realm.


    This step was extremely hard to cross.


    Those able to take this step were all geniuses among geniuses.


    Tang Yu these people, although their age were all very young, they were able to take this step. This, by itself, illustrated many problems.


    But they were still defeated at Lin Chao''s hands.


    Furthermore, Lin Chao only used ten moves for two battles!


    At this time, Zhou Yan also did not dare to be the least bit careless when facing Lin Chao.


    Lin Chao looked at Zhou Yan contemptuously and said coolly, "Zhou Family''s young master, I know that you like Yue Mengli. But I advise that you give up. Yue Mengli is mine, Lin Chao''s!"


    Zhou Yan''s face fell, and he said in a great rage, "Courting death!"


    Flame flashed in the pupils of Zhou Yan''s eyes. The Vastsun Flameheart Pupil suddenly erupted!


    After breaking through to Dao Profound, Zhou Yan''s Vastsun Flameheart Pupil underwent a qualitative change. The power of his ocular arts was goodness knows how many times stronger compared to before.


    Being provoked by Lin Chao, the current Zhou Yan was incomparably furious. Unleashing a move, it was actually going to put Lin Chao to death.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The place Lin Chao was standing emitted a series of intense exploding sounds. Under the impact of the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, the grand array trembled.


    Zhou Yan saw that Lin Chao actually did avoid in the slightest bit, and could not help saying with a cold sneer, "Fool! To dare forcefully receive the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil head-on, simply courting death! But to dare make impertinent remarks about Li-er, death isn''t enough!"


    The smoke formed from the explosion gradually dispersed, revealing Lin Chao''s figure.


    It was only to see him lightly pat the dust on his body, saying calmly, "Everyone says that Vastsun, Bright Moon, these two cities'' ocular arts are unparalleled. Looking at it today, seems like it''s also nothing more than this. Making impertinent remarks? How I talk to my woman, that''s my business. Don''t you worry, I''ll dote on Miss Li-er lovingly."


    Lin Chao dismissed it casually as if Yue Mengli was already officially decided for him.


    Zhou Yan''s pupils constricted. There was actually not a hint of injury on Lin Chao''s body!


    His Vastsun Flameheart Pupil actually could not even harm Lin Chao?


    "Don''t be insolent! Li-er is mine, nobody can snatch her away! Ye Yuan can''t, you can''t either!"


    Zhou Yan roared, both eyes suddenly turning blood red in color. All of a sudden, violent flames formed a cage, covering Lin Chao completely inside.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Rumble!


    Zhou Yan had yet to have time to be happy when a loud noise transmitted over. His flame cage actually had a large hole blasted out by Lin Chao!


    Furthermore, the remnant power of the might of one punch did not diminish, flying straight for Zhou Yan.

 945 Divine Dao Martial Technique Showdown

    Bang!


    Zhou Yan was caught off guard and directly sent flying off the arena by this single punch.


    Everyone looked at this scene with endless shock.


    Just where did this Lin Chao come from? He was too powerful!


    "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"


    Zhou Yan was filled with endless regret and anger. With this defeat, he lost the chance to vie for Yue Mengli.


    He was originally thinking of utterly wrecking Ye Yuan, then marrying Yue Mengli back home. He did not think that he actually did not even enter the finals.


    "Heh, I was thinking how powerful the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil was originally, didn''t expect that Young Master Zhou would be too weak to take a single blow. Looks like the greatest pleasure this trip will be marrying Beauty Yue home," Lin Chao said very arrogantly.


    Regarding such an arrogant Lin Chao, many people all could not endure the sight of it. But his strength was placed here, there were really not many capable of beating him!


    In comparison to the others, Lin Chao''s origin was too mysterious. That whatever Divine Martial Hall was simply unheard of.


    If Yue Mengli married such a person, they were clearly all unwilling.


    The second day, the day of the finals!


    The champion would contend with Ye Yuan for the final ownership.


    Zhuo Bufan stood on the arena, steady and composed, with quite the demeanor of an expert of a generation.


    Skypool Celestial Empire was a super holy land with extremely deep foundations. Their ancestors had once produced many Deity Realm powerhouses before. Zhuo Bufan as the successor, how formidable his strength was naturally went without saying.


    In contrast, Lin Chao appeared stubborn and unruly, even having that hint of sinister and ruthlessness, making people quite averse.


    Although everyone could not obtain Yue Mengli, they all hoped from the bottom of their hearts that Yue Mengli would not marry someone like this.


    For some time, the cheering and rooting voices were all for Zhuo Bufan.


    "Hehe, this bunch of fools, do they think that by cheering for that Zhuo Bufan, he won''t lose? Lin Chao hasn''t even brought out one-tenth of his strength up till now. No matter how strong that Zhuo Bufan is, he can only lick his shoes for him," among the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man in a strange attire said.


    "Zhuo Bufan is totally not Lin Chao''s target. That Ye Yuan who comes out the last is his biggest objective this time," another person said.


    "Speaking of which, really underestimated Ye Yuan this punk at that time. I didn''t expect that he grew so quickly. In this less than ten year''s time, he actually already broke through to Phaseless Realm. But this time, Lin Chao shouldn''t drop the ball, right?" replied a middle-aged man dressed in black clothing.


    This black-clothed man was precisely the person who was manipulating the Fierce Gale World''s Zhao Tianyin father and son! Of course, even if Ye Yuan was here, he would not recognize him either.


    These few people were clearly together, all originating from that place called Divine Martial Hall.


    Among these few people, there was a middle-aged man whose age was slightly older, looking rather level-headed.


    "This trip, our objective is the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. That brat called Ye Yuan is merely a minor character of little importance. Later, have a word with Lin Chao, tell him not to cause complications!" the middle-aged man said solemnly.


    The expressions of the few people at the back turned fearful as they acknowledged, "Yes, Holy General Han Tong!"


    This man called Han Tong was actually that mysterious force''s holy general!


    The strength of a holy general was a huge margin stronger than holy followers!


    While they were talking, Zhuo Bufan and Lin Chao who were in the ring were already locked in battle.


    Zhuo Bufan''s strength was indeed not what Zhou Yan and the rest could compare to. Similarly First Level Dao Profound, Zhuo Bufan''s every move and stance was watertight.


    Even if Lin Chao was matchlessly powerful, he could not gain the least bit of advantage either. Both parties actually fought until neither could gain the upper-hand!


    "Luofu Divine Spear!"


    The two people were in the midst of fierce fighting when the Zhuo Bufan who was empty-handed all along suddenly took out a long spear.


    Rumble!


    Lin Chao could not avoid in time and was directly nailed onto the arena by the power of this spear.


    "It''s the Luofu Divine Spear! Skypool Celestial Empire''s Divine Dao martial technique!"


    "Zhuo Bufan indeed concealed his strength too deeply! It is said that Luofu Divine Spear can only be started cultivating at the Dao Profound Realm. Furthermore, the difficulty of cultivating it is extremely high. I didn''t think that Zhuo Bufan actually already learned it!"


    "In his hands is the transcendent-grade holy artifact, Heavenly Origin Howling Cloud Spear, right? This martial technique coupled with a transcendent-grade holy artifact, the power is unequaled! With this, Lin Chao is destined for defeat!"


    Although there were already no more Deity Realm powerhouses in this world, there were still some deity realm legacies.


    Like the Skypool Celestial Empire, this sort of super holy land with deep foundations, Divine Arts, Divine Dao martial techniques, they all had legacies.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Once it was unleashed, the power was even stronger compared to Tier 9 martial techniques.


    Except, the true might of Divine Dao martial techniques, only Deity Realm powerhouses could unleash them. Even if Dao Profound Realm martial artists cultivated them, they could only unleash some scraps.


    The people below the stage were all incredibly excited when they saw Zhuo Bufan''s spear succeed.


    However, Zhuo Bufan himself, his face was covered in a layer of frost.


    He already accumulated the power of this attack for a long time just now, but Lin Chao still neutralized a large part of the force, avoiding his vital parts.


    His trump card was already exposed, while Lin Chao''s trump card was still not exposed.


    Indeed, Lin Chao slowly crawled to his feet. Although somewhat ragged, there weren''t injuries that were too severe.


    "Indeed well-deserving of being a super holy land''s disciple, to actually be able to injure me! But it''s only this and nothing more!" Lin Chao said it very scornfully.


    A curved blade appeared in Lin Chao''s hands. The moment the curved blade appeared, a wave of sanguinary qi rapidly spread out, shocking people to the core.


    "Transcendent-grade holy artifact! Just what faction is this Divine Martial Hall, to actually have such a powerful transcendent-grade holy artifact!" Someone exclaimed in shock.


    Lin Chao looked at Zhuo Bufan and said with a light smile, "Since you used a Divine Dao martial technique, then I''ll use a Divine Dao martial technique too. Let''s have a showdown and see whose Divine Dao martial technique is more impressive."


    Lin Chao said it casually, but there was a wave of shock when it fell into other people''s ears.


    "What? Lin Chao knows a Divine Dao martial technique too! How is this possible?"


    "Forces that have Divine Dao martial techniques are only that few. Apart from the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, it can be counted with one hand! Just what kind of background is this Divine Martial Hall?"


    "Transcendent-grade holy artifact, Divine Dao martial technique, this Lin Chao is too mysterious! If he beats Zhuo Bufan ��"


    How the result would be, everyone already did not dare to think.


    Just the sanguinary qi on that curved blade made everyone feel uncomfortable.


    If Yue Mengli married someone like this, then the Yue Family would have really blundered.


    Zhuo Bufan''s expression was very grim, and he already secretly mustered up essence energy.


    But his opponent, Lin Chao, appeared to be able to easily resolve any problems. The moment the blade momentum rose, his entire person turned into a cloud of green smoke, going for Zhuo Bufan.


    At the same time, Zhuo Bufan also accumulated strength for an attack. Luofu Divine Spear was displayed once more!


    Rumble!


    Two figures collided together fiercely. The blood-red blade light actually overpowered the Luofu Divine Spear!


    The blade momentum was akin to an overwhelming force, carrying indomitable and imposing momentum, and slashed Zhuo Bufan out!


    Below the stage was complete silence. A super holy land''s successor was actually defeated, lost to a young man who was not a well-known figure.


    This young man who originated from the Divine Martial Hall, not only was he holding a transcendent-grade holy artifact in his hand, he even possessed a Divine Dao martial technique.


    Could it be that this Divine Martial Hall was a reclusive super holy land?

 946 Divine Soul Resonance

    At Yue Family Inner Hall, two middle-aged men sat opposite each other.


    Yue Jianqiu''s expression was rather ugly, with a frown that never left his face.


    "Brother Zhou, this Divine Martial Hall, what do you think?" Yue Jianqiu said.


    "Hard to tell! Looking at it right now, this Divine Martial Hall''s strength doesn''t seem to be weak! Perhaps, it''s not what you and I can afford to provoke. Heh, if Younger Brother Yue had long known about this day, why act that way at that time? If you married Li-er to Yan-er long ago, where would there be so many problems?"


    The one talking was precisely Vastsun City''s city lord, Zhou Jia!


    Hearing Yue Jianqiu inquired about the Divine Martial Hall''s matters, Zhou Jia could not resist rebuking the other party.


    Yue Jianqiu heaved a sigh and said, "How can this Yue not know Yan-er''s feelings? It''s just that Li-er''s temper, you''re aware too. Her heart isn''t on Yan-er at all. If she''s pressed into a corner, she''ll go for mutual destruction!"


    Zhou Jia shot Yue Jianqiu a glare and snorted coldly. But he also knew that what he said was the truth.


    Want to blame, he would have to blame his son for failing to live up to expectations. Being in a favorable position for so many years and could not even obtain Yue Mengli''s heart.


    Regarding Zhou Yan and Yue Mengli''s union, the two families were both happy to see it happen.


    Apart from inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there was actually still another way to obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, that was the union of an innate Vastsun Flameheart Pupil and an innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye!


    For so many years, the Zhou Family and Yue Family very rarely had these two types of innate spirit physique appear before. Even if they did, it also very rarely appeared in the same generation.


    No one expected that when it reached this generation, these two types of spirit physiques appeared in the two families at the same time. Hence, Zhou Jia and Yue Jianqiu quickly became partners, wanting to matchmake Zhou Yan and Yue Mengli.


    Zhou Yan often came to the Yue Family since young and mingled together with Yue Mengli.


    Except, as the two people gradually grew older, Yue Mengli slowly drifted apart from Zhou Yan.


    Especially after Yue Mengli saw Qingyun Zi, her heart no longer had room for others as well.


    Zhou Yan bitterly pursued Yue Mengli fruitlessly but did not expect that a Ye Yuan would charge out halfway.


    With this, Zhou Yan had even less hope.


    Actually, the Yue Family doing up this Bright Moon Competition this time, Zhou Jia was rather grateful instead prior to this.


    Zhou Yan breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, his Vastsun Flameheart Pupil thoroughly awakened, its power increasing by folds. As long as he obtained the first place, he could marry Yue Mengli back home right and properly.


    Regarding Zhuo Bufan, Zhou Jia had actually already planned it out well. He believed that as long as he paid an adequate price, he could absolutely let Zhuo Bufan throw the match.


    The final victor would still be Zhou Yan.


    But did not expect that a Lin Chao would charge out halfway again!


    With this, the two families were put into an awkward situation.


    If the one who won, in the end, was some major faction''s disciple, Yue Jianqiu would not go so far as to pull such a long face either. But this Lin Chao''s origins were unclear. Looking from the strength he displayed, this Divine Martial Hall was bound to be a leviathan.


    Towards such an unknown powerful faction, how could Yue Jianqiu not worry? If Lin Chao went on to defeat Ye Yuan, then wouldn''t it be pushing his daughter into the fire pit?


    "Now that it''s come to this, what other options are there still? There''s only entrusting hope onto Ye Yuan that brat! It''s just that he''s only First Level Phaseless Realm. In my view, virtually without any chance of winning! I think you''d best make preparations to renege on your word after that Lin Chao wins! It''s just that this way, you''d probably have to offend that Divine Martial Hall!" Zhou Jia thought it over and over and came up with a crappy idea.


    The Bright Moon Competition''s commotion was blown so big, even the successor of a super holy land was startled. Once reneged, he would incur the ridicule of experts.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "But after Ye Yuan brought Li-er into closed-seclusion, it''s already been over ten days. They still haven''t exited seclusion till now. Tomorrow �� they won''t fail to make it in time, right?" Yue Jianqiu said hesitantly.


    Zhou Jiao was speechless. The development of affairs seemed to be somewhat deviating awau from their original plan.


    "If they really can''t, there''s only forcefully disrupting their seclusion!" Zhou Jia said.


    "No way! What if they are currently at a critical juncture of treatment, wouldn''t it ruin an important matter?" Yue Jianqiu said.


    The two great family heads discussed about it. In the end, they did not come to a decision either.


    ...


    In the lightning ocean, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli marched forward hand in hand, and already walked as far as 90 thousand feet!


    The radius of the lightning ocean was a distance of 100 thousand feet. There was still 10 thousand feet, and the two of them would be considered to have walked to the end.


    If someone was here, they would be able to discover that around Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, a sacred mass of light halo actually appeared, shining brilliantly. This made them look just like high and mighty divinities.


    These violent bolts of lightning, after entering this stretch of light halo, would become incomparably gentle.


    "Originally thought that this road is extremely bumpy. Didn''t expect that the two of us, you and I, walking over hand in hand, was actually so easy!" Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan, her eyes filled with bliss.


    Receiving the lightning''s baptism these few days, her divine soul strengthened several times. The two divine souls which split apart actually already grew to its original size!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I also never thought that our two divine souls actually produced a resonance. This strengthened our soul force a hundred times! Even if this lightning ocean wants to cause us harm, it can''t do it."


    On that day, not long after Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli held hands, facing the lightning''s baptism, the two people''s hearts linked up in consonance, and their divine souls actually produced a resonance!


    As long as the two of them were together, their soul force would magnify a hundred times over!


    This way, the lightning''s baptism to them became very easy.


    Even for Ye Yuan, it was also his first time feeling this sort of magical feeling. He savored it very much.


    Yue Mengli said with a slight smile, "If not for Big Brother Yuan disregarding your life and death, helping me to cross the difficult hurdle with your origin power, it probably wouldn''t be that easy for the two of us to want to produce divine soul resonance."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Why make distinctions between you and me?"


    Divine soul resonance this sort of thing, although Ye Yuan was aware, the level of difficulty was not an ordinary kind of high.


    The two people resonating must be two hearts joined together and know what each other was thinking about, as if they were one body, for it to succeed.


    But it was easier said than done to want to reach this step.


    Some Dao companions were husband and wife for several thousand years and were unable to achieve this step. The level of difficulty could be imagined.


    However, Ye Yuan helped Yue Mengli to divide her divine soul with his origin power previously. The two of their divine souls were actually already in perfect harmony, with no distinctions between each other anymore.


    That moment when they held hands, it was as if the two people got shocked by electricity, two divine souls instantly linked up.


    That instant, there was you in me, me in you. Nothing else in this world could separate them anymore.


    That violent lightning was completely too weak to stand in competition in front of the two people''s divine soul resonance.


    ...


    In a twinkle, the finals arrived. But Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli still had not exited seclusion.


    Ye Yuan and Lin Chao''s battle was anticipated by millions of people. So below the arena, countless martial artists already gathered.


    Lin Chao''s might, they already saw it. But that mysterious Ye Yuan, just what kind of person he was, they wanted to find out.


    It was just that time slowly trickled by, Ye Yuan still did not show up.


    On the stage, Lin Chao stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at Yue Jianqiu with a smile and said, "City Lord Your Excellency, two hours have already passed since the start of the match. That Ye Yuan keeps failing to show up. Could it be that �� the Yue Family wants to make so many people keep on waiting?"

 947 The Lin Chao Who Was Courting Death

    Yue Jianqiu was riding a tiger and found it hard to dismount right now. Being squeezed by Lin Chao like this, he really did not know what he should do.


    What was certain was that Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli''s closed-seclusion definitely encountered some problems.


    The perils of dividing the divine soul, how could he, this Divine King powerhouse, not know?


    Even if there was the Soul Separating Pill, this process was still incomparably dangerous.


    Yet, Ye Yuan was already his last hope!


    Initially, towards Ye Yuan, he was half-skeptical as well. But witnessing Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying Alchemy Dao strength, Yue Jianqiu still decided to take his chances.


    Except, looking at it now, it seemed like problems really occurred.


    "If your esteemed self can''t wait, you can forfeit your right and leave!" Yue Jianqiu said with a cold snort.


    He was at any rate the ruler of a city as well, a Ninth Level Dao Profound Divine King powerhouse. How could he be kneaded by a junior?


    Except, Lin Chao did not seem to have the intention of skating over, saying with a faint smile, "This Lin naturally can afford to wait. It''s just that Bright Moon City organizing such a grand meet, you got to at least give this Lin a time limit, right? If Ye Yuan doesn''t come out for a month, would this Lin have to stand here for a month''s time? Furthermore, even if we''re determining the loser, it seems like this Lin shouldn''t be judged so, right?"


    Yue Jianqiu''s face turned black. This Lin Chao was not easy to deal with!


    Furthermore, this matter was Bright Moon City not taking the side of reason to begin with. Continuing to take it seriously clearly did not have any benefits for the Yue Family.


    Just as Yue Jianqiu was caught in a bind, two figures descended from the air.


    The two people held hands, just like a pair of immortal lovers.


    After the divine soul resonance, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli being together would give people a sensation of exceptional harmony.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu could not help being very surprised. Just what in the world happened between the two people during these few days of closed-seclusion?


    "Really made me surprised. I didn''t expect that my final opponent is actually an old acquaintance!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan leaped and went up to the arena.


    Truthfully speaking, that moment when Ye Yuan saw Lin Chao, he was very surprised too.


    He never would have thought that his final opponent was actually Lin Chao.


    Back then, Lin Chao was utterly crippled by Ye Yuan in front of the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s gates. Originally, he thought that even if he did not die, he would be wasted too.


    Did not think that so many years passed, not only was he not crippled, he already reached peak Phaseless Realm!


    The scene just now, Lin Chao took it into his sights too. Not only was he not surprised, but he was also instead incomparably delighted in his heart.


    The better Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli''s relationship was, wouldn''t he be happier breaking them up?


    This joy of taking revenge must be very wonderful.


    Lin Chao said with a laugh, "Yeah! Just earlier, I even thought that you couldn''t come today, and I was very regretful in my heart!"


    The two people were beaming from ear to ear. The audience below the stage were all very surprised when they saw the situation. These two incomparably mysterious young geniuses were actually long acquainted.


    Looking at the way they were talking, seemed like they were even old friends who had not met for many years.


    "Looks like you''ve prepared very long for the sake this day!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, that appearance had indescribable mockery.


    Ye Yuan''s smile pricked Lin Chao like a thorn.


    His face was still smiling. It was just that the smile became somewhat unnatural: "Yeah, I''ve waited over ten years for today! Today, I''m going to take back everything I lost!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Looks like you''re the same as Zhao Tianyin father and son, selling your soul for power. But in front of me, Ye Yuan, even if you sold your soul, what remains, in the end, is also just despair."


    Ye Yuan had a bearing that looked down on all life. This sort of bearing deeply wounded Lin Chao''s pride.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Even if he, Lin Chao, could think of hundreds of schemes, even if he, Lin Chao''s cultivation realm, was above Ye Yuan''s, the final outcome was still a tragedy.


    Back then, the Purple Mansion Sect bore down upon the borders with a great army, wanting to crush the Tranquil Cloud Sect with absolute strength.


    In the end, not only did Ye Yuan rescue all of the captives with his strength alone, he even seriously wounded Lin Chao, nearly causing his death.


    This sort of suppression that disregarded ranks simply made people despair.


    In truth, he really despaired back then. All of his skills was crippled, his heart was like dead ashes.


    But the Divine Martial Hall gave him a second life, letting him cast off his old self and take on a new self, giving him unrivaled strength!


    By relying on this strength, he even defeated the successor of the Skypool Celestial Empire!


    Ye Yuan was even more of a cinch!


    "Heh heh, Ye Yuan, you''re still that arrogant! But today''s Lin Chao is already not the Lin Chao of yesteryear! Today, not only do I want to trample you underfoot, I even want to snatch away your woman! Let you experience a little what''s called true despair!" Lin Chao said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled. Lin Chao''s words infuriated him.


    "Very good, remember the words you said just now!" Ye Yuan said with a broad smile on his face.


    To Ye Yuan, his kins were not permitted to be affronted. Now, Lin Chao actually pointed the spearhead at Yue Mengli. His fury was successfully stirred up.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s smile, Lin Chao actually felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.


    Damn it! What the hell am I afraid of? The present me can even defeat the Skypool Celestial Empire''s successor, why would I be afraid of a measly little Ye Yuan? Lin Chao secretly cursed in his heart.


    "Provoking Big Brother Yuan like this, that Lin Chao is courting death," beside Yue Jianqiu, Yue Mengli said coolly.


    After the divine soul resonance with Ye Yuan, she was deeply affected by Ye Yuan''s thoughts as if it was her own. She knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged.


    Yue Jianqiu looked at his daughter, rather surprised. He was uncertain where his daughter''s confidence came from.


    But starting since just now, Yue Jianqiu discovered that his daughter seemed to be rather different.


    At this time, that sort of sickly-paleness on Yue Mengli''s face already disappeared thoroughly. That melancholy concealed in dullness also vanished without a trace already.


    The current Yue Mengli was elegant and poised, immortal qi lingering, appearing even more otherworldly and unattainable.


    One could say that Yue Mengli''s entire temperament underwent a qualitative change.


    The current Yue Mengli was confident and calm, no longer that former little girl appearance. And her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was with great tenderness between lovers; clearly still that little girl appearance.


    That sort of attitude belonged only to Ye Yuan!


    What on earth did Ye Yuan do to his daughter?


    "How so?" Yue Jianqiu said.


    Yue Mengli smiled and said, "Father, just watch."


    "Li-er, Ye Yuan he �� really cured you?" Yue Jianqiu said rather uncertainly.


    Yue Mengli nodded and said, "Father, the Yue Family won''t have to ask people for help anymore in the future as well! Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, maybe it already really counts for nothing!"


    Yue Jianqiu''s entire body trembled, looking at Yue Mengli in disbelief.


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, was the Zhou and Yue two families'' countless generations'' pursuit! That was an ocular art capable of achieving Deity Realm! How could it not make people envious?


    But now, Yue Mengli actually did not even think anything of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!


    He naturally knew what Yue Mengli was referring to. Innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique plus the Innate Battle Soul Physique, Yue Mengli would become a peerless powerhouse!


    Although the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was strong, it might not be able to rival the Innate Battle Soul Physique either!


    In the Divine Dao Era, innate battle soul physiques, not one was not an existence who roamed the world unhindered.

 948 Half-Dragon Physique Rampaging!

    "Since Ye Yuan has arrived, then begin!" Yue Jianqiu said coolly.


    Rumble!


    At virtually the same time, a fierce impact sound echoed out.


    Ye Yuan actually unleashed an attack at Lin Chao with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!


    This punch shocked the grand array until it trembled.


    Lin Chao backed up a hundred steps in a row before barely stabilizing his figure. His essence sea churned, the essence energy within his body being thrown into disorder by this punch of Ye Yuan''s.


    Below the stage, it was dead silent; all stunned by Ye Yuan''s punch.


    They had seen before with their own eyes how Lin Chao countered Zhou Yan''s Vastsun Flameheart Pupil with one punch, sending him flying off the stage.


    But right now, Ye Yuan stood on the spot without moving a muscle, while Lin Chao was struck until he fell back a hundred steps.


    With this comparison, Ye Yuan was also a bit too strong, right?


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was only First Level Phaseless, many people already did not harbor any hopes.


    Lin Chao was peak Ninth Level Phaseless Realm, that was how he had the qualifications to have a showdown with Dao Profound Realms. But Ye Yuan was only First Level Phaseless. How to fight like this?


    But this punch, it made everyone view him in a completely different light!


    For this Ye Yuan to dare challenge the Bright Moon Competition''s first place, his strength was indeed daunting!


    "Looks like your fleshly body is very powerful. No wonder you were able to defeat those so-called geniuses. However, if it''s only to this sort of degree, prepare to get wrecked by me!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Lin Chao finally managed to catch his breath, his expression incomparably ugly.


    He thought that his strength was already ridiculously powerful. He did not expect that the strength of Ye Yuan who was only First Level Phaseless was actually so powerful!


    Just based on that punch just now, the so-called geniuses were utter jokes in front of Ye Yuan!


    Lin Chao drew a deep breath and was just about to fly off the handle when all of a sudden, his expression changed drastically.


    An outrageous dragon pressure erupted. On Ye Yuan''s skin, actually grew numerous dragon scales!


    His two arms became two dragon claws. And one of them actually faintly assumed a gold color. That was the hallmark of the primeval dragon bone!


    His forehead actually grew two dragon horns!


    Seeing this scene, everyone drew a cold breath.


    "Half-Dragon Physique! This �� How thick a true dragon bloodline does this need?!" Yue Jianqiu''s eyes erupted with rays of brilliance, as he said in astonishment.


    Dragon transformation, this was the hallmark of a human martial artist who cultivated the dragon race bloodline reaching an exceedingly high realm.


    But human martial artists, extremely few people were able to reach the extent of half-dragon physique. Because that requirement towards bloodline was way too high.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At this time, apart from Ye Yuan''s face, areas that could be seen on the body practically all grew dragon scales. It could be seen how thick his bloodline was!


    One had to know that dragon transformation was not as simple as merely growing dragon scales.


    After the dragon transformation, the martial artist''s physique would have a qualitative leap. If this martial artist knew the dragon race''s martial techniques, then the power of dragon race martial techniques would likewise have a qualitative leap!


    Unfortunately for Lin Chao, not only did Ye Yuan knew dragon race martial techniques, he knew extremely profound ones among the dragon race martial techniques.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chao and said with a radiant smile, "Are you ready?"


    With a whoosh, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from sight.


    Rumble!


    An intense rumbling sound echoed. Lin Chao''s body flew out like a cannonball.


    "Puhwark!"


    Lin Chao directly spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood in midair. That appearance was horrifyingly ghastly.


    Yet, this was only the beginning.


    Ye Yuan''s Void Dragon Shadow Punch smashed towards Lin Chao with a force that toppled mountains and overturned the seas.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    When everyone below the stage saw this scene, they virtually stopped breathing.


    Too strong!


    Achieving this extent just by relying on the power of the fleshly body, it was simply unimaginable.


    That insufferably arrogant Lin Chao from before was too weak to stand up to a single blow in front of Ye Yuan.


    This match today, Zhou Yan naturally would not miss it either. From the very beginning, he was watching the battle below the stage.


    When Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli descended from the sky, he felt all sort of emotions in his heart; completely awful.


    But looking at such a fearsome Ye Yuan, he could not help feeling a chill from the bottom of his heart.


    If it was him on the stage, he would likely already be bashed into minced meat, right?


    Vastsun Flameheart Pupil?


    Simply a joke!


    Facing the Ye Yuan in a rampaging state, everything was unfounded.


    Don''t believe it? That Lin Chao on the stage was a living example.


    "Half-Dragon Physique. Didn''t think that this brat already grew to such an extent! A Lower Realm''s ant actually already became a colossal dragon! Lord Han Tong, if it''s convenient, it''s best to finish off this brat while you''re at it."


    Han Tong''s gaze had been staring at Ye Yuan all along. He nodded and said, "En, Li Hun is right. However �� Lin Chao this boy''s strength has yet to be fully displayed. Half-Dragon Physique is not enough!"


    Li Hun was that holy follower who controlled Zhao Tianyin father and son.


    Hearing Han Tong''s words, Li Hun smiled too.


    On the arena, a beam of blood light shot toward the sky!


    A blood-red blade light erupted in adverse circumstances, cleaving straight at Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan also did not think that Lin Chao was actually still able to strike back under such a state.


    But although this blade light was impressive, it was still a little unskilled to want to harm him.


    His divine sense stirred. A large bell suddenly appeared in front of him. The Heavenly King Bell emitted a beam of pale-yellow protective shell to withstand the blood-red blade light.


    Gong!


    The Heavenly King Bell was smacked flying backward. Ye Yuan took advantage of the situation and put it away.


    Ye Yuan withdrew the Half-Dragon Physique and restored his original appearance.


    Looking at Lin Chao again, he was currently bathed in blood from head to toe. There was not an intact spot on his body from top to bottom.


    The Ye Yuan in a rampage did not show the least bit of mercy. It was virtually every fist hitting flesh.


    After breaking through to Phaseless Realm, the primeval dragon bone''s potential was developed a step further. His fleshly body also broke through to late-stage Tier 8 already.


    Half-Dragon Physique, coupled with the Void Dragon Shadow Punch, this set of combination was simply a bulldozer; crushing all obstacles!


    The fleshly body that Lin Chao took pride in was not worth mentioning at all in front of Ye Yuan.


    "The average person, even if their fleshly body reached late-stage Tier 8, they should also have been smashed into minced meat at this time. You''re still able to maintain human-form, looks like you''re the same as Zhao Tianyin father and son; all cultivated heretic cultivation methods. I''m really curious right now, just what on earth is the force behind you plotting in the dark? Those people below should be together with you, right? You guys coming to Bright Moon City, if there aren''t accidents, it should be for the sake of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?"


    Regarding Lin Chao still having the strength to retaliate, Ye Yuan was not surprised. Instead, he asked Lin Chao calmly.


    However, when those few people below the stage heard Ye Yuan''s words, their faces all changed, including Holy General Han Tong.


    They were already very low-profile in the crowd. Furthermore, they deliberately restrained their vital activities, looking not much different from ordinary martial artists.


    He did not think that it was seen through with one glance by Ye Yuan.


    "H-Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you indeed didn''t disappoint me! The stronger you are, the more delighted when I kill you! Blood �� God �� Transformation!" Lin Chao shouted fiercely.


    All of a sudden, only to see Lin Chao''s blood qi billowed into the sky. His two pupils becoming scarlet-red, his entire person being shrouded by a mass of blood light too.


    Lin Chao''s aura was rapidly rising, getting closer and closer to Dao Profound Realm!


    Rumble!


    Finally, this huge chasm between Phaseless Realm and Dao Profound Realm was actually directly crossed over by Lin Chao!

 949 True Genius!

    "Y-You got to be kidding, right? Phaseless Realm to Dao Profound Realm, the gap was broken through just like that?"


    "Seeing ghosts! The disparity between these two realms is virtually the sum total of all the cultivation realms before! What kind of cultivation method can have such a huge boost?"


    "With this, Ye Yuan is in danger! That Lin Chao was so terrifying at Phaseless Realm. Now that he broke through to Dao Profound Realm, wouldn''t he be defying the heavens?"


    The scene of Lin Chao breaking through made everyone incredibly shocked.


    This hard-to-surmount chasm was actually crossed effortlessly just like this. Many people found it hard to accept it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Blood light covered the sky. The wounds on Lin Chao''s body could actually be seen recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    The martial artists below the stage were all endlessly terrified. Ye Yuan''s indiscriminate bombarding earlier, even if Lin Chao did not die, he definitely suffered extremely severe injuries too.


    But now, he recovered just like this?


    This Lin Chao was simply a freak!


    The current Lin Chao, his gaze showed scarlet-red eyes, his entire body feeling like it was in a state of rampage.


    His eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, and he said with a wild laugh, "How is it, Ye Yuan?! Now, receive my judgment! Also, I remember that sentence, your woman, she''s mine!"


    Ye Yuan still had a calm and collected look. Lin Chao''s astonishing aura did not affect him the least bit.


    Hearing Lin Chao''s words, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold, but he said with a slight smile, "This is your trump card? You make me somewhat disappointed!"


    Lin Chao brandished his curved blade and said with a cold sneer, "Stop pretending! In order to master the Blood God Transformation, I suffered all kinds of torture in these ten years. Every day was a life worse than death! And this was all in order to take revenge on you! Now that I broke through to Dao Profound Realm, my Heretic Cloud Blood Saber''s power will increase at least a hundred times! This time, I see what you use to block it!"


    After breaking through, Lin Chao''s confidence swelled. At least, facing the First Level Phaseless Ye Yuan, he was teeming with confidence.


    He completely could not think of what kind of measures Ye Yuan could use to block his Heretic Cloud Blood Saber. Even the Half-Dragon Physique could not either!


    When Yue Jianqiu saw this scene, his face was also densely covered with a worried look.


    That Lin Chao was very sinister. If he really won, it was not a good thing.


    Ye Yuan''s performance earlier made his eyes lit up. He really did not know that Ye Yuan''s combat power was actually so formidable!


    It was just that Lin Chao broke through to Dao Profound. His entire person underwent a qualitative transformation. It was completely not possible for Ye Yuan to be his match by relying on the Half-Dragon Physique as well.


    Also, those few people below the stage, Yue Jianqiu heightened his vigilance too, informing clansmen in secret to increase vigilance.


    Those few people concealed extremely deeply, mixing among ordinary martial artists inconspicuously. Even he did not notice either.


    But Ye Yuan was actually able to perceive them among countless martial artists with one glance. He really did not know how this brat noticed it.


    At this time, he could not help looking over towards Yue Mengli. He discovered that Yue Mengli was still calm as before.


    "Li-er, aren''t you even a little worried about Ye Yuan? Or does he still have some trump card that he hasn''t used?" Yue Jianqiu said.


    Yue Mengli shook his head and said, "I don''t know about Big Brother Yuan''s trump cards. But �� there''s no way he would lose!"


    Yue Jianqiu was thoroughly defeated. This sort of groundless trust was really not reliable at all.


    He really could not figure out what kind of measures the First Level Phaseless Ye Yuan could use to defeat Lin Chao.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chao and said full of pity, " Lin Chao, you and I are not of the same world at all. That so-called pride of yours, is not worth mentioning at all in front of me! Since you want to look, I''ll let you take a look at what''s called a true genius!"


    Ye Yuan''s hand raised up; the Starmoon Sword was in his hand. He slowly closed his eyes, pointing at Lin Chao while holding the Starmoon Sword just like that.


    There was clearly not a hint of dangerous aura coming off of Ye Yuan''s body. But no idea why, all the hair on his body stood on its end!


    Lin Chao clenched his teeth. The blood qi on his body billowed to the skies once more. Berserk Dao Profound Realm pressure concentrated on his curved blade.


    A shocking aura made the martial artists below the stage practically unable to open their eyes!


    One made his move, while the other remained still. It was an extremely strong contrast.


    Lin Chao''s aura was shocking. This blade cleaving down, it seemed like regardless of what it was, it could be split into two halves too.


    While Ye Yuan did not have any aura at all, as if his entire world belonged to serenity.


    Yet, the one who was able to sense Ye Yuan''s threat was only Lin Chao alone!


    In other people''s view, Ye Yuan was being pretentious and did not have the least bit of threat at all. Because they could not sense it at all.


    "What''s Ye Yuan doing? Putting on a pose like this, there''s no threat at all!"


    Lin Chao''s blade momentum was already formed. Yue Jianqiu was no longer composed too.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan finally had movements.


    "Huuuu ��"


    Two entirely different auras suddenly emitted off of Ye Yuan''s body, one black and one azure.


    The two auras circled around Ye Yuan and started revolving vigorously, forming a vortex!


    This vortex became stronger and stronger, gradually forming a storm.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu revealed a dumbstruck look!


    "This �� This is ��"


    But Lin Chao could not care that much anymore. His blade momentum was already formed, and he abruptly slashed the saber out, carrying an incomparably fierce and swift blood light as it rushed towards Ye Yuan.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Cracks actually appeared on the protective grand array on the arena under this slash of his!


    One could imagine how powerful the might of this slash of his was!


    Yue Jianqiu''s expression could not help changing when he saw the situation, and he said sternly, "Quick, strengthen the array formation! Otherwise, the grand array is going to collapse!"


    Actually, no need for him to instruct others. The Yue Family''s two Formation Emperors already leaped out and fired out countless spells towards the grand array.


    Very soon, the grand array was stabilized.


    The Yue Family''s Formation Masters also did not think that the Bright Moon Competition''s final battle would actually be fought to this sort of degree. Even the grand array they laid down already almost could not be sustained.


    These two Formation Emperor powerhouses'' strengths were very strong. Under their consolidation, the grand array was already not in danger of collapsing.


    But right at this time, Lin Chao''s saber already arrived within ten feet of Ye Yuan as well.


    A hint of the delight of revenge flickered across the corners of his mouth. Ye Yuan''s move had yet to form. He believed that this saber of his was absolutely able to cleave Ye Yuan into two!


    At least, it also had to make Ye Yuan heavily wounded and on the verge of death!


    As long as he could win this match, he, Lin Chao, would still be the winner!


    However, just as his saber arrived within three feet of Ye Yuan, he discovered to his astonishment that his curved blade was actually unable to advance an inch further!


    Ye Yuan still maintained the pose of wielding a sword; virtually bumping together with Lin Chao''s blade point. However, Lin Chao''s saber had no way of advancing another step forward.


    Huff huff ��


    Around Ye Yuan, the one black and one azure storms became increasingly fiercer.


    Originally, Lin Chao''s saber momentum was way more powerful than Ye Yuan''s aura. Yet, Ye Yuan''s aura became more and more powerful. The radius of the storm also became greater and greater.


    Gradually, it actually pushed Lin Chao''s body back.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes. A terrifying aura instantly swept across the entire square!


    "Supreme True Intent Fusion!"


    Virtually at the same time, Zhou Jia, Yue Jianqiu, Han Tong, these pinnacle powerhouses, cried out in alarm.

 950 Spirithorn Shattering Mirror

    "Not good, Lin Chao is in danger!"


    Han Tong''s expression changed drastically, his entire person dashed over in the direction of the stage like an arrow that left the bow.


    Yue Jianqiu gave a cold snort and said, "Your esteemed self is truly looking down on my Bright Moon City too much!"


    At the same time, Yue Jianqiu''s figure suddenly vanished from where he was. When he appeared again, he was already blocking in front of Han Tong.


    Han Tong''s face fell, and a mirror actually appeared in his hand!


    The moment the mirror was displayed, it erupted with an outrageous aura.


    Yue Jianqiu originally came carrying flames of wrath, wanting to teach Han Tong a good lesson. But seeing that mirror''s power, his expression involuntarily changed drastically, and his figure retreated explosively.


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s aura became more and more astonishing. The two strands of azure and black forces suddenly rolled together, forming a terrifying attack.


    "Ahh! Don''t!" Lin Chao did not have the chance to escape at all at this time, and could not help giving off a cry of despair.


    "Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. Sword qi flashed and disappeared, heading straight for Lin Chao!


    This streak of sword qi alternating between azure and black contained two types of supreme true intent!


    One was the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword, the other was the Slaughter Supreme True Intent!


    Two kinds of supreme true intent fusing, the power of this sword actually tore a large rift in the void.


    Rumble!


    The powerful sword qi directly made the defensive grand array shatter, blasting the Yue Family''s two formation emperors flying out.


    Under this sword, Lin Chao was dead for sure.


    But right the final juncture, a figure suddenly cut in between the two people!


    Han Tong scared away Yue Jianqiu with one move and blocked in front of Lin Chao with the fastest speed.


    "Spirithorn Shattering Mirror! Break for me!"


    Han Tong gave a fierce cry. The mirror in his hand erupted with shocking power!


    Rumble!


    Terrifying azure-black sword qi actually gradually became faint under this mirror''s illumination, and finally vanished from sight!


    Ye Yuan''s certain kill sword was actually extinguished just like this!


    Lin Chao plopped onto the ground, his face incomparably ashen. His eyes were dull and lifeless. Clearly, he had not walked out of the fear of death yet,


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he looked at Han Tong as he said icily, "Divine artifact!"


    Everyone was staring fixedly on the mirror in Han Tong''s hands. This mirror was actually a divine artifact of the legends!


    To be able to repel Yue Jianqiu, this level of pinnacle expert, it had to be a divine artifact.


    "Divine artifact! It''s actually a divine artifact! Didn''t think that this trip to Bright Moon City, I''d actually see a divine artifact come into being!"


    "Just what background does this Divine Martial Hall have? To actually possess a divine artifact?!"


    "Divine artifact coming into being, could it be that �� Divine Dao is going to descend again?"


    The martial artists watching the fight were all shocked to their core. They did not think that coming to watch the Bright Moon Competition, they actually saw a divine artifact come into being!


    Today''s battle situation was simply where developments of the situation kept reaching new heights!


    First was Ye Yuan transforming into Half-Dragon Physique, then it was Lin Chao''s Blood God Transformation directly breaking through to Dao Profound. Following that was Ye Yuan actually fusing supreme true intents. Lastly, even a divine artifact actually came into being as well.


    In the beginning, it was still okay. But fusing supreme true intents, that was something that divine king powerhouses did!


    The disparity between divine king powerhouses lied on this supreme true intents'' fusion.


    Only by fusing supreme true intents, could it allow a divine king''s strength to surpass other divine kings.


    The reason why the Ten Great Divine Kings were powerful was that they fused several kinds of powerful supreme true intents. That was how they were able to show disdain on all under the heavens!


    But Ye Yuan this youngster who was just at First Level Phaseless Realm, he was actually able to fuse supreme true intents already. When he broke through to Divine King Realm, how terrifying would he be?


    One could say that as long as Ye Yuan did not perish, he would inevitably become a Ten Great Divine Kings class powerhouse in the future!


    As for the divine artifact, Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, that went even more without saying.


    Ever since Divine Dao dwindled to zero, divine artifacts no longer appeared as well. Even the Ten Great Divine Kings only used transcendent-grade holy artifacts too.


    But today, a divine artifact actually came into being once more. How could this not astonish them?


    Han Tong did not answer Ye Yuan directly. His expression was likewise solemn as he said, "Truly didn''t expect that at your young age, you''re actually able to fuse supreme true intents already. It was this Han who miscalculated instead! Since Lin Chao is already defeated, your esteemed self is the victor. Why is there a need to exterminate ruthlessly? Our Divine Martial Hall will just concede!"


    At this time, Lin Chao abruptly startled awake, and suddenly let out a loud laugh and said, "H-Haha! I''m not dead yet! I''m not dead yet! Ye Yuan, so what even if you fused supreme true intents? Aren''t you still unable to kill me?"


    Lin Chao state was as if he went mad, shouting at the top of his voice, venting the negative emotions in his heart.


    Ye Yuan looked at Han Tong and said coolly, "If I, Ye Yuan, want to kill people, you can''t stop it! Today, Lin Chao must die!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, the people all sighed unceasingly.


    A divine artifact coming into being, even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, it was also not possible to kill Lin Chao.


    As long as there was Han Tong around, their Divine Martial Hall was in an impregnable position. Didn''t he see that someone as powerful as Yue Jianqiu also kept a good distance away in the face of a divine artifact?


    Ye Yuan''s words were clearly putting up a bold front.


    Han Tong sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "What an arrogant brat! I want to see just how you breakthrough the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in my hands!"


    "Haha! The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror can shatter all attacks. Unless you''re an expert on the level of the Ten Great Divine Kings, otherwise, forget about wanting to break through! Just the likes of you want to kill me too?" Lin Chao said haughtily.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At this time, Yue Jianqiu slowly came to Ye Yuan''s side as well, and said to Han Tong, "Since you all have a divine artifact in possession, I''ll spare you all from death today! Bring your people and immediately get lost for me!"


    Han Tong chuckled and said to Yue Jianqiu with cupped fists, "It''s still City Lord Yue who knows better! This Han will take his leave here! Ye Yuan, your talent surpasses others, but desperately upholding your face, the one who loses face can only be you."


    Done talking, Han Tong brought Lin Chao was about just about to leave.


    "Halt!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Han Tong turned around and said indifferently, "What? What guidance do you still have?"


    "Did I let you guys go?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yue Jianqiu also did not think that Ye Yuan would pester so unreasonably. The other party was holding a divine artifact in his hand. Once they lost all decorum, Bright Moon City would definitely suffer heavy casualties.


    Even if they could strike down the other party, in the end, the losses outweighed the gains too.


    "Ye Yuan, as long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Better let them leave first! The might of a divine artifact is not what you can contend with!" Yue Jianqiu urged.


    "Hahaha! He who understands the times is a wise man! Ye Yuan, you even used supreme true intent fusion. Could it be that you still have some trump card?" Han Tong said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I, Ye Yuan, always mean what I say! If I want Lin Chao to die, then he has to die today!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan still harass with an unreasonable demand, Han Tong was finally truly enraged: "Humph! Truly refusing face when it''s given! If not for cherishing divine essence, you''d already become a dead man earlier! Is it possible that you really think I don''t dare to kill you?"


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan did not speak. Two streams of black and azure force formed around him once again. He was actually going to use the Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword once more!


    "Reckless and blind thing! Since you''re seeking death yourself, then I can''t save you either!" While talking, Han Tong brought out the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    "Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword, kill!"


    One sword unleashed, shook the world!


    "Fool! It''s all the same outcome even if it''s repeated a thousand times! Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, break for me!" Han Tong shouted.


    But right at this time, an enormous pagoda descended from the sky, crushing toward Lin Chao!

 951 Went Missing

    The Vast Heaven Pagoda carried the might of heaven and earth, and it appeared behind Han Tong unexpectedly.


    This scene was too sudden. Everyone did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had such a trick.


    Rumble!


    A loud crash was heard. The people felt the earth was trembling.


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda directly smashed towards Lin Chao, crushing him into minced meat!


    Over here, Han Tong used the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror to extinguish Ye Yuan''s attack. But Lin Chao still died!


    "Another divine artifact! My God, what on earth is happening to this world?"


    "Fool, that pagoda isn''t a divine artifact, but a quasi-divine artifact! But even if it''s a quasi-divine artifact, it already infinitely approaches divine artifact too!"


    "Ye Yuan this boy, he actually had such a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, to be able to obtain a quasi-divine artifact! With this ingenious move to gain the upper-hand, it really let him kill Lin Chao!"


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda''s appearance stirred up a commotion among the crowd once more.


    Today, these martial artists really broadened their horizons.


    Fusing supreme true intents, divine artifact, quasi-divine artifact, one appeared after another. It simply refreshed their three views on life.


    What shocked them the most was still Ye Yuan!


    This young man was too scary! His own strength was terrifying to the extreme. Furthermore, he even had innumerable contingencies!


    Han Tong wielded a divine artifact and was incomparably arrogant. But he ultimately still suffered a loss at Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Ye Yuan raised his palm. The Vast Heaven Pagoda returned to his palm.


    He put the Vast Heaven Pagoda away and said to Han Tong nonchalantly, "So what if divine artifact? If I, Ye Yuan, want to kill people, nobody can stop it! Alright, now, you guys can scram!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around to leave, flying over in Yue Mengli''s direction.


    Han Tong was infuriated until he clenched his jaws tightly, his entire body quivering continuously. Looking at Ye Yuan''s back view, he made no effort to conceal his killing intent in the slightest.


    At the same time, several auras already locked onto him. As long as he moved, what awaited him would be a terrifying blow!


    Although he possessed a divine artifact, his scruples were also a lot.


    Finally, he still gave a cold snort and said to Li Hun and the others, "Let''s go!"


    Yue Mengli walked gracefully and went to greet Ye Yuan, and hurriedly supported him.


    Using the Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword twice in a row, the burden on Ye Yuan''s body was tremendous. The current Ye Yuan was already on the verge of collapsing.


    "Big Brother Yuan, it was hard on you!" Yue Mengli said in relief.


    ...


    Outside Bright Moon City, Han Tong and the others were walking unhurriedly.


    "A bunch of reckless things. They also don''t use their brains to think properly. Is a divine artifact what they can covet?" Han Tong said to a subordinate.


    Han Tong exposing the divine artifact would naturally draw the covetous eyes of forces everywhere.


    At present, there were seven to eight major and minor factions targeting them. These people were wary of the divine artifact in Han Tong''s hands, and also apprehensive of other forces benefiting from their struggle. Hence, that was why they exercised restraint and did not make a move.


    "They are naturally aware. It''s just that the temptation of a divine artifact is too great!" Li Hun said with a cold smile.


    Han Tong said solemnly, "Draw them towards a place with less people. Spare no one!"


    Lin Chao mastering the Blood God Transformation, the Divine Martial Hall attached a great deal of importance to him. Coming to Bright Moon City this time also had the intention of experiencing trials. But he did not expect that he was crushed by Ye Yuan just like that.


    The current Han Tong had a stomach full of rage that just happened to have nowhere to vent. But these guys delivered themselves to the doorstep one by one.


    If they did not have the strength to protect a divine artifact, how would they dare to reveal it?


    Actually, everybody understood the logic. It was just that how many people were able to endure the temptation of a divine artifact?


    A day later, inside a forest where few people tread, corpses were strewn all over the ground disorderly.


    Among these corpses, the strongest one actually had late-stage Dao Profound Realm strength.


    However, their strengths were not worth mentioning at all in front of Han Tong and his people.


    "Your Excellency, these tail-ends are already taken care of. What should we do now?" Li Hun patted his hands and asked Han Tong.


    Han Tong said with a solemn face, "The objective of this trip is the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Since we''re already unable to enter with conventional means, then we can only use force! There''s still a few days away from the opening of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm. We''ll hide first and wait for the right time to take action!"


    "Then �� the matter of Lin Chao being killed ��" Li Hun said, rather hesitantly.


    The moment Han Tong heard, his expression became even darker and he said, "Ye Yuan that brat will definitely enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm. At that time, we''ll settle the scores together!"


    ...


    After Ye Yuan rested for a day, he recovered to his peak state.


    When he exited seclusion, he discovered that there were already quite a number of people waiting for him.


    The first one he had to meet was naturally Yue Jianqiu.


    He was Li-er''s father. This face had to be given.


    Seeing Ye Yuan again, Yue Jianqiu stared at him for a long time, as if it was his first time seeing Ye Yuan.


    "City Lord Yue, does this Ye have flowers on his face?" Ye Yuan could only voice out.


    Yue Jianqiu froze, then said, "This emperor has lived for many years. I can''t tell how many young geniuses I''ve met. But someone unfathomable like you, it''s still my first time encountering! Ye Yuan, you won the Bright Moon Competition,;we''re considered as a family as well. Can you give me an explanation as to just what kind of relationship is between you and the Soul Martial Divine King?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Jianqiu and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Soul Martial Divine King? This Ye don''t know him!"


    The more Ye Yuan pretended to be profound, the more Yue Jianqiu could not figure him out. The more firmly Ye Yuan denied it, the more certain Yue Jianqiu was that he and Zhong Zizhen''s relationship was not shallow.


    But this sort of thing, there was no way for Ye Yuan to admit it personally.


    He and Zhong Zizhen''s relationship was indeed not shallow. But it was definitely not that sort of relationship Yue Jianqiu they all thought.


    But this sort of influence, Ye Yuan did not mind borrowing it.


    "Then �� the quasi-divine artifact in your hands ��"


    To talk about what Yue Jianqiu wanted to know the most, it was naturally still the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s information.


    Quasi-divine artifact, this kind of thing was too sensational in the Divine Realm. Although the Vast Heaven Pagoda could not compare to a genuine divine artifact, the might of a quasi-divine artifact was already sufficiently daunting.


    More importantly, the one who possessed the quasi-divine artifact was even his, Yue Jianqiu''s, prospective son-in-law.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "City Lord Yue didn''t go and chase that Han Tong, but come and ask about my pagoda, where''s the logic? No matter what, my pagoda can''t compare to his Spirithorn Shattering Mirror either, right? According to what I know, the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror is an ancient divine artifact. Its power is extremely formidable. Furthermore �� it even has a terrifying ability, which is that it''s able to shatter space! In my view, although those people retreated for the time being, they probably won''t withdraw easily either, right?"


    What Ye Yuan thought of, how could Yue Jianqiu not think of it?


    Hearing Ye Yuan bring it up, he heaved and sighed. He then said, "After the Bright Moon Competition, I sent a Yue Family''s expert to follow their tracks. As a result ��"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly, and he asked, "As a result what?"


    "News just came. Inside a dense forest 30 thousand miles north of Bright Moon City, over a hundred corpses were discovered. Among them had that disciple of my Yue Family. Those people''s traces have already utterly gone missing!" Yue Jianqiu said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath. Did not expect that this bunch of people were actually so foolproof when doing things.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Looks like the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm opening this time, it probably wouldn''t be too peaceful!"

 952 Sun and Moon Joint-Brilliance!

    When Ye Yuan and Yue Jianqiu were conversing in the inner-chamber, Yue Mengli''s side was already thoroughly being assaulted.


    "Li-er, your Uncle Jianye has doted on you dearly since young. The medicinal pills you ate when you were young, a lot of them were refined for you by Uncle Jianye. In a while, when our son-in-law comes out, can you let your Uncle Jianye meet him?"


    "Bullshit! Back then, when you heard that Li-er found a Lower Realms'' bumpkin, you had no lack of objections! Li-er, to talk about doting you, it''s still your Uncle Jianxun who''s most fond of you! When you were young, Uncle Jianxun often carried you."


    "I say, Elder Brothers, all of you stop fighting! This younger brother''s illness is deadly and brooks no delay!" Yue Jianfeng shouted.


    This period of time filled Yue Jianfeng with burning anxiety.


    Ye Yuan''s words on that day were constantly lingering beside his ear, making him live in the midst of depression the whole time.


    He wanted to find Ye Yuan to inquire just what it actually was, but Ye Yuan was too busy.


    First was helping Yue Mengli to refine the Soul Separating Pill, immediately following that was closed-seclusion. Then after coming out was taking part in the Bright Moon Competition.


    These were all important matters concerning the family clan. How could he squeeze inside?


    Now, the dust of the Bright Moon Competition finally settled, he came over to find Ye Yuan straight away. But Ye Yuan was too in demand right now. A large group of people was waiting and lining up here.


    Seeing this group of uncles arguing to see Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli felt honored because of it too.


    "Uncles, not that Li-er isn''t helping you all, but it''s really that Li-er is unable to make the decision for Big Brother Yuan! Who he wants to meet, it''s best for him to come and decide himself after he comes out," Yue Mengli said with a flattering smile.


    Just as they were talking, Yue Jianqiu and Ye Yuan came out from the inner-chamber. The hall quietened down all of a sudden.


    Yue Jianqiu''s expression was rather ugly. Ye Yuan was simply impervious to everything. He did not obtain any useful information at all.


    Rather, Ye Yuan''s analysis made him faintly worry about Han Tong and his group.


    Yue Jianqiu swept a glance over everyone and did not say anything either, and he directly left.


    The moment he left, a group of people crowded around all at once, chirping non-stop.


    "Alright, all shut up for me!" Ye Yuan shouted coldly. These people stopped very obediently.


    If an ordinary junior dared to talk this way to them, a tight slap would have been smacked over long ago.


    But Ye Yuan was different. He did not even show respect to Quan Xingzi! Furthermore, Ye Yuan was an alchemy and martial dual prodigy. In the future, he would absolutely have terrifying accomplishments in alchemy and martial arts.


    Perhaps, Ye Yuan would be the next Soul Martial Divine King!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Yue Jianfeng stay, the rest all leave! Tomorrow, I''ll open a forum and give a sermon. Whatever questions you all have in alchemy, you can seek guidance from me at that time. Each person only has one chance. Go back and think carefully about what to ask!"


    The moment everyone heard this, they could not help being overjoyed. They took their leave one after another.


    The group of alchemy emperors was like students in front of Ye Yuan; incomparably respectful.


    Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli exchanged a glance, and could not help revealing a hint of helplessness.


    This outcome could be predicted.


    The alchemy path strength that Ye Yuan displayed already far surpassed ordinary alchemy emperor powerhouses. As the saying went: those who reached first were the teachers. Receiving these alchemy emperors'' soughting after was also within reason.


    "About that �� Son-in-Law, my body, just what kind of problem occurred?" Yue Jianfeng clasped his hands and consulted.


    Ye Yuan sat on the seat of honor''s position carelessly and said coolly, "Bluesky Spirit Root is very scarce. I believe that your Yue Family''s reserves aren''t many either. If my conjectures are right, it should be another alchemy emperor in your Yue Family who took the liberty to change the Bluesky Spirit Root into Brahma Secret Leaf, right?"


    In his previous life, Ji Qingyun wrote a prescription for Yue Jianfeng before. As long as Yue Jianfeng ate the medicine according to the prescription, the Yangqiao Meridian injuries would naturally heal.


    Bluesky Spirit Root was a type of spirit medicine in the prescription.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yue Jianfeng was incomparably shocked.


    Ye Yuan did not even need to take his pulse and already knew his prescription. This was also too freakish, right?


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan said did not have the slightest error. The Yue Family''s Bluesky Spirit Root was indeed pretty much depleted by him very quickly. Forced under the circumstances, Yue Jianfeng could only take the prescription and ask for help from a family clan''s alchemy emperor elder.


    As a result, that alchemy emperor elder decided without consulting others to change the Bluesky Spirit Root to Brahma Secret Leaf.


    "Son-in-Law is truly god-like, to actually even know about this! The Yue Family''s Bluesky Spirit Root was only sufficient for me to use for half a year''s time. Compelled by the circumstances, I went to Elder Ling Tao to ask for help. He looked at the prescription and said that I could use Brahma Secret Leaf to replace the Bluesky Spirit Root. Hence ��"


    The Elder Ling Tao out of Yue Jianfeng''s mouth was a middle-rank alchemy emperor elder in the Yue Family, whose status was revered.


    Ye Yuan nodded when he heard that and said, "The medicinal effects of the Brahma Secret Leaf and Bluesky Spirit Root indeed has interchangeable aspects in this prescription. It is also indeed able to treat Yangqiao Meridian injuries. But �� there is still another supplementary medicine in this prescription, Green Jade Heavenly Star Grass. Mixing together with the Brahma Secret Leaf to brew into medicine will produce a slow-acting toxin which will paralyze the martial artist''s mind at indeterminate intervals. As time passes, when the toxins accumulate to a certain level, it can even make the person utterly insane! It''s this reason that you find it hard to meditate and why your essence energy would also occasionally get interrupted."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression could not help changing drastically!


    Back then, when Elder Ling Tao helped him to alter the prescription, he discovered that the medicine effects were not very different from before, and even thanked Elder Ling Tao with tears in his eyes.


    He did not expect that this Brahma Secret Leaf actually had such severe consequences!


    "This �� What to do about it?" The moment Yue Jianfeng heard this, he thoroughly lost all social graces.


    Ye Yuan said, "If it were others, I couldn''t care less. But I know that you''ve shown extra considerations towards Li-er these few years. On account of Li-er''s face, I naturally won''t leave you be. I''ll write a prescription for you. Take the medicine according to the prescription. Within ten days, you''ll definitely be cured."


    Yue Jianfeng could not help being overjoyed the moment he heard that and said, "Thank you so much, Son-in-Law! Thank you so much, Son-in-Law!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You''re Li-er''s elder. Naturally, you''re my elder too. This kind of solemn respects, best to drop it in the future. I can''t bear it."


    Getting the prescription, it was like Yue Jianfeng obtained a priceless treasure, and he left in great spirits.


    Yue Mengli let out a sigh and said, "Big Brother Yuan, it''s really hard on you!"


    Ye Yuan and her both knew what the other was thinking, and was naturally aware of what Yue Mengli was referring to. Ye Yuan was once a peak existence that everyone looked up to. Yue Jianfeng, this kind of Dao Profound Realm powerhouse, would also have to be extra respectful towards him.


    But now, getting burdened by her, he had to lower his status and call these people uncle.


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I said before long ago, Qingyun Zi is already past cloud and smoke. The one before your eyes now is just a bumpkin who ascended from the Lower Realms. As for those vain glories, as long as your strength is sufficient, it will naturally come in a throng!"


    ...


    The following two days, Ye Yuan opened a forum and gave a sermon at the Yue Family, answering every one of those alchemy emperors'' queries.


    In two days, these alchemy emperor powerhouses all started to respect a puny little alchemy venerable from their hearts.


    His alchemy Dao understanding was completely not what they could compare to.


    The disparity was too great!


    One evening half a month later, the moonlight in the skies of Bright Moon City suddenly became abnormally bright, illuminating the entire city like it was daytime!


    At the same time, Vastsun City''s sun even shone with a boundless radiance, as if it was going to shoot through the horizons.


    The sun and moon joint-brilliance finally arrived!


    [0] Starting from this chapter, there will be some capitalization rules to be standardized. Referring to people as a form of address such as "Aunt,""Master Ye Yuan," and "City Lord, Ye Yuan is coming" will be capitalized.

But for terms such as "Dao" or "Divine Dao" or "alchemy Dao" they will be capitalized, but not "alchemy path."

 953 Doing One Thing Under Cover of Another!

    Under the light of boundless radiance, it illuminated a radius of 10 thousand miles of the two Vastsun and Bright Moon City, turning the dusk sky into daytime.


    Gradually, clouds of multi-colored mist rose upwards, thoroughly covering the skies.


    At this instant, it was as if Vastsun City and Bright Moon City became a mortal world paradise.


    This kind of wondrous sight could only be seen once every 300 years.


    "Sun and moon joint-brilliance! The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm is finally going to see the light of day once more! I wonder this time, who can obtain the ancestors'' favor and acquire the spirit spring to wash their eyes!"


    Up in Bright Moon City''s sky, in-between the multi-colored immortal qi, a gap actually slowly split open in the space, as if it was somebody''s eye, slowly opening.


    That was the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm''s entrance.


    At the same time, a rift similarly appeared in the skies above Vastsun City. That rift belonged to Vastsun City.


    Many martial artists all closed in on the rift area. Very clearly, they all wished to get a slice of the cake.


    This kind of grand event occasion that would only open every 300 years, who would be unmoved?


    It was just that each time the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm opened, Vastsun City and Bright Moon City absolutely prohibited others from encroaching on it.


    The entrance area would be heavily guarded.


    Several figures slowly rose up, arriving in front of the entrance.


    The one in the lead was precisely Yue Jianfeng.


    "Unauthorized people, quickly back away! Otherwise, we''ll capture and summarily execute! The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm opening, Bright Moon City''s permanent residents, martial artists under the skeletal age of 300 years old, and whose strength reached Phaseless Realm, after receiving inspections at designated venues in the city, you can enter!" Yue Jianfeng said coldly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was not the Yue Family''s members'' exclusive right.


    Though the Yue Family was strong, one Yue Family could not support such a big Rank One Holy Land.


    Hence, the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm would also be opened to the martial artists in the city. However, wanting to obtain the qualifications to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, one must be a permanent resident of Bright Moon City.


    Of course, wanting to obtain the qualifications of permanent residency was very difficult. The conditions were extremely harsh.


    These people were either pledged loyalty to the Yue Family for generations or swore a Heavenly Dao Oath to swear lifelong fealty to the Yue Family.


    One does not allow benefits created by one''s own work to accrue to others. The Yue Family naturally would not let others get the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm''s quotas easily.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, waking up from a meditative state.


    When he saw Yue Mengli, he could not help jumping in fright as well. "Li-er, it''s only been a few days of not seeing, you actually broke through already? Innate Battle Soul Physique indeed lives up to its reputation!"


    Yue Mengli was exceedingly talented, even a notch above Zhou Yan!


    It was just that after her Innate Battle Soul Physique flared up, her cultivation realm remained at a standstill all along. These dozen over years, her cultivation realm did not advance but fell instead. It even dropped quite a few realms.


    From when she recovered until now, it was merely half a month''s time. Not only did Yue Mengli''s cultivation realm recover to its peak state, it even scaled to new heights, and she broke through to Ninth Level Phaseless!


    Such cultivation speed was simply too shocking!


    Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Innate Battle Soul Physique was also merely limited to the records. But now, only when he saw Yue Mengli''s cultivation speed with his own eyes, did he know how terrifying this spirit physique was.


    When Yue Mengli cultivated to Divine King Realm, coupling with the Innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye''s ocular arts, it was simply, killing gods when encountering gods, killing Buddha when encountering Buddha!


    Two kinds of heaven-defying physiques being born in the same person, this was simply heaven''s joke.


    After experiencing suffering, Yue Mengli finally dispelled the clouds and saw the bright moon!


    Li-er smiled sweetly and said, "Isn''t this still all thanks to Big Brother Yuan? Without you, Li-er would have long become withered bones in a graveyard. How could I have today?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Look, you''re at it again! Looks like the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm is already opened. Should we prepare a bit to enter inside?"


    Yue Mengli smiled and said with a nod, "Coming to find Big Brother Yuan is precisely for this matter. Father has already decided. Tomorrow at noon, the passageway should be able to thoroughly stabilize. At that time, we''ll enter inside together with Bright Moon City''s martial artists."


    Ye Yuan said with a nod, "That''s fine. But Han Tong that bunch of people, we had no news the entire time. I''m afraid that they will cause trouble!"


    Just what Ye Yuan knew at present, there were two divine artifacts in this world. One was the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands. The other was the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in Han Tong''s hands.


    The might of a divine artifact, only Ye Yuan had a clear understanding.


    Once a divine artifact was infused with divine essence, the strength of its power was unimaginable!


    "Father is also worried about this matter and already arranged a large number of forces around the entrance. There''s absolutely no way for them to barge inside," Yue Mengli said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head but felt that this matter probably would not be so simple.


    ...


    At noon the next day, Bright Moon City''s side had a thousand people gathered at the entrance.


    These people have already been through Bright Moon City''s stringent screening. They would enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm to seek out that glimmer of good luck.


    If they could obtain a spirit spring to wash their eyes, not only were they able to obtain powerful ocular arts, it would also be greatly beneficial to their cultivation.


    Of course, if they were able to have heaven-defying fortuitous encounter and obtain the Sun Moon Divine Spring of the legends, there was even a possibility that they could obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!


    It was just that these 100 thousand years, there had yet to be anyone who was so lucky.


    Rumor has it that inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there was only one Sun Moon Divine Spring. Furthermore, the location was erratic.


    In 100 thousand years, there had actually been someone who found the Sun Moon Divine Spring before. It was just that sadly, he did not acquire the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil.


    "Jianfeng, entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm this time, you''ll be leading the team. This time is different from in the past. It might be more dangerous. You got to be more careful," Yue Jianqiu said.


    Although the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was Vastsun City and Bright Moon City''s private property, inside was not a straight path. On the contrary, the perils inside were not lesser compared to ordinary mystic realms.


    Hence, each time they entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there had to be a Yue Family''s important figure holding down the fort. This time, the Yue Family sent out Yue Jianfeng.


    Yue Jianfeng received the order and said, "Jianfeng understands! Family Head, please rest assured!"


    Yue Jianqiu nodded and said, "En, if I didn''t trust you, I wouldn''t have sent you either. I don''t care about the others, but Ye Yuan and Li-er, you must ensure that you bring them out safe and sound!"


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression turned sharp as he said with a nod, "Jianfeng will definitely lay down his life to serve!"


    After Yue Jianqiu was finished with the orders, Yue Jianfeng brought the group of martial artists and were planning on entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    An intense light shot out from the void, bombarding onto the multi-colored immortal qi!


    Rumble!


    The space emitted a series of fierce tremors. The martial artists in the air were actually somewhat staggering unsteadily on their feet!


    "Damn it! It''s the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror! They are actually planning on forcefully opening up a gap in the space, and entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!" Yue Jianqiu said in a cold voice.


    Tear ��


    Under the bombardment of the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, a gap actually really appeared in the sky!


    Several figures dashed out from within the void and directly entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm.


    With this, even Yue Jianqiu was taken by surprise too and had no time to stop it at all, helplessly watching Han Tong and the others entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm.


    But this was not over yet. The moment this breach was opened up, the martial artists in Bright Moon City could not hold back anymore as well, pouring over there frenziedly!

 954 Decay Spring

    People who were quick to take advantage of the opportunity already arrived at the entrance of the passageway at this time.


    Yue Jianqiu''s face was very grim, and he snapped coldly, "Go and guard the passageway! Whoever dares to go in, kill without mercy!"


    Under the order, the Yue Family immediately had a powerhouse lead a team and charge over towards that passageway opening.


    It was just that at this time, there were already a large group of martial artists who entered the passageway. Wanting to stop it was already too late.


    "Irrelevant personnel, quickly back off! Any more people who barge into the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm will be killed without mercy!" warned the Yue Family''s powerhouse.


    But the scene right now already completely lost control. How could those martial artists willingly let go of such an opportunity?


    The human traffic still poured over in the direction of the passageway opening, getting more and more.


    "Kill!"


    Seeing that warnings were ineffective, the Yue Family''s powerhouse started to mean business and began suppressing with bloody measures.


    But among those martial artists, there were also quite a few Dao Profound Realm experts. Plus, the numbers were many. The Yue Family''s powerhouse could not kill finish at all.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"


    While talking, Yue Jianqiu smacked a palm over into the crowd.


    Rumble!


    Yue Jianqiu''s casual palm directly slaughtered a large number of martial artists.


    Once a divine king became enraged, floating corpses would span a thousand miles!


    Under this palm, those martial artists finally knew fear and gradually did not dare to rush towards the passageway opening anymore.


    They stopped far away, looking at those martial artists who already rushed into the passageway with envious looks.


    "Since the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm came into being, there has never been anyone who opened up another passageway to enter inside before. Today, it really broadened my horizons! What a terrific Divine Martial Hall! This Yue has remembered it!" Yue Jianqiu said in a cold voice.


    Today''s incident was an unprecedented humiliation to the Yue Family. How could Yue Jianqiu not take it to heart?


    Furthermore, a martial artist carrying a divine artifact entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm increased a great deal of variables.


    "Family Head, what should we do now?" Yue Jianfeng could not resist asking.


    That Han Tong''s strength was very formidable. Furthermore, he had the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, this level of divine artifact, in his hands. Once they met, he was not a match at all.


    Yue Jianqiu said solemnly, "You lot enter inside first. Later, I''ll send Elder Lingyu to enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm to lend you a helping hand. If you run into that Han Tong, capture and summarily execute!"


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression changed, not expecting that Family Head actually made such a firm decision this time.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Yue Lingyu was a Yue Family''s elder and also Yue Jianfeng''s aunt, the other divine king powerhouse of the Yue Family.


    Sending her into the Vastsun Brightmoon Realm, this was making up his mind to make Han Tong stay.


    ...


    Inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, birds sang and the flowers were fragrant; it was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.


    It was just that the Yue Family members were all aware that this place actually concealed many killing intents.


    "What is it, Big Brother Yuan?" Yue Mengli discovered that Ye Yuan had knitted brows, and she could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing. I just feel that this place is rather strange."


    "Strange? Our Yue Family and Zhou Family have already entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm who knows how many times. We''ve never discovered anything amiss here before!" Yue Mengli said wonderingly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe I was thinking too much."


    At this time, Yue Jianfeng said to everyone, "Now, everybody, disperse. Seek out your own lucky chance respectively! Except that this time, everybody saw it too. The situation is a little different. Everyone needs to be careful. If you see people apart from the two Yue and Zhou families, if it''s within the scope of your abilities, everybody must cut them down! The prestige of the Yue Family does not tolerate these people to come and blaspheme! Understood?"


    "Understood!" Voices of assent that shook the heavens echoed out.


    These one thousand martial artists all had extremely deep connections with the Yue Family and naturally stood on the Yue Family''s side.


    After everyone dispersed, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli also headed towards the deep areas of the mystic realm to seek out their own lucky chance.


    Inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, the so-called lucky chance was the eye-baptizing spirit springs. If a martial artist found an eye-baptizing spirit spring site, they could jump in the mouth of the spring. The spring waters would cleanse the martial artist''s marrow.


    Of course, the most important function of this spirit spring was to cleanse the eyes. It could let the martial artist''s ocular arts evolve, achieving the postnatal Vastsun Flameheart Pupil or Moonlight Heavenly Eye from there.


    "This Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was opened up together to your two families. I''ve always been curious, why the Bright Moon City''s martial artists, what they obtained were all Moonlight Heavenly Eye powers," along the way, Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "It''s said that this is because of Bright Moon City''s moonlight! Martial artists who stay in Bright Moon City for a long time, their bodies will carry the aura of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye. When they enter the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm to acquire eye-baptizing spirit springs, they would naturally obtain the powers of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye," Yue Jianfeng said.


    The others all scattered respectively. But Yue Jianfeng followed Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, protecting the two of them.


    "Like that, huh! Most likely, this is the means of a Deity Realm powerhouse. Deity Realm powerhouses are truly what nobody can imagine!" Ye Yuan sighed with admiration.


    "Hahaha! I found an eye-baptizing spirit spring!" Right at this time, an excited voice came over from not far away.


    The three people looked over following the voice, only to see that a martial artist found the mouth of a spring the size of a well, and he was abnormally excited.


    With a splash, that martial artist directly jumped into the mouth of the spring.


    "ARGH!!"


    A miserable cry transmitted over. That martial artist did not have his eyes cleansed by the spirit spring, but it was like he was boiled by that spirit spring instead, steaming hot.


    The three people, their judgments were good. They watched that martial artist struggle a few times, then immediately went silent.


    That martial artist was actually directly melted by the spring waters, without even leaving behind scraps.


    This scene made people''s hair stand on end.


    "Fool! Can''t even distinguish between a spirit spring and decay spring, and also dare to barge into the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!" Yue Jianfeng said with a cold sneer.


    "Decay spring?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    "Inside this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, there are two kinds of spring. One type is the eye-baptizing spirit spring, greatly beneficial to martial artists. The other type is this decay spring. Its corrosive powers are extremely strong. Even if a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse entered inside, it''s a certain death too! That person just now wasn''t a member of the Zhou and Yue two families. He must be a martial artist who entered from that passageway. Only the permanent residents of Bright Moon City would know these secrets," Yue Jianfeng said.


    Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly when he heard. The Yue Family and Zhou Family operated for countless years by the two of them. Clearly, there were many secrets that the outside world did not know.


    Ye Yuan came beside the decay spring and saw that the water surface was calm. It was as if nothing had happened earlier.


    "Ye Yuan, let''s go. The eye-baptizing spirit springs are also split into good and bad. The truly good spirit springs are still in the deep areas of the mystic realm. Han Tong those people definitely headed to the depths of the mystic realm. We''d better not lose time." Yue Jianfeng saw that Ye Yuan was interested in the decay spring and could not resist urging him.


    However, it was like Ye Yuan did not hear it. He still stared at the decay spring.


    Yue Jianfeng was about to open his mouth again but saw Yue Mengli making a ''hush'' hand gesture at him, saying softly, "Don''t interrupt Big Brother Yuan. Let him look. Maybe he had noticed something."


    Yue Jianfeng could only drop it. But he was still rather disdainful in his heart. A decay spring that claimed people''s lives, what was there to study?


    Ye Yuan was currently looking, when he suddenly leaped, jumping down into the decay spring.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli''s expression both changed greatly!

 955 Reverse-Life Spirit Spring

    Splash!


    Ye Yuan landed inside the mouth of the spring, splashing up a wave.


    "Ahh! Big Brother Yuan, don''t!" Yue Mengli screamed.


    However, it was already too late. Ye Yuan''s entire person submerged inside.


    When the two people rushed to the spring, how could they still see Ye Yuan''s figure? The spring water was clearly transparent, but one completely could not see Ye Yuan.


    Yue Mengli actually wanted to directly jump into the water without even thinking but was held back by Yue Jianfeng.


    "Li-er, don''t! This is a decay spring! Even if I fell inside, there''s no way to come out alive either!" Yue Jianfeng said.


    Yue Mengli''s tears flowed out all at once. She completely did not think that Ye Yuan actually directly jumped inside.


    What Yue Jianfeng said was right. Even if a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse like him jumped in, it was also impossible to survive, let alone Ye Yuan.


    Now, the surface of the water already recovered its tranquility. But Ye Yuan''s head did not even pop out. Most likely ��


    Yue Mengli did not dare to imagine anymore. She could not understand, Ye Yuan clearly saw that person''s outcome earlier. Why did he still want to jump inside the decay spring?


    Splash!


    A wave splashed, Ye Yuan''s head tunneled out from inside the mouth of the spring.


    When Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli saw this scene, their eyes were filled with disbelief. Ye Yuan actually came out perfectly unscathed!


    Logically, at this time, Ye Yuan should have long been thoroughly melted down.


    "Ye Yuan, you �� you''re actually alright!" Yue Jianfeng''s eyes widened, and he said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Indeed as I expected, this so-called decay spring is actually also a type of spirit spring. It''s just that the method people draw from it is incorrect, that''s all! Let''s not talk first. I feel like I''m going to break through."


    All of a sudden, with Ye Yuan as the center, a fierce essence energy storm surged. Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli hurriedly retreated.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in the other party''s eyes.


    Since ancient times, there had never been anyone capable of surviving inside this decay spring. Not only was Ye Yuan fine, but he also obtained tremendous benefits inside the decay spring instead and directly broke through!


    "Looks like our Yue Family''s understanding of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm is still too superficial!" Looking at Ye Yuan breaking through, Yue Jianfeng said with a bitter smile.


    Before long, the essence energy storm ceased. Ye Yuan successfully broke through to Second Level Phaseless.


    After Ye Yuan left the decay spring, the mouth of that spring could actually be seen disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally becoming an area of flatland.


    "Big Brother Yuan, just what on earth is going on here?" Yue Mengli also came forward to ask impatiently.


    Ye Yuan''s actions earlier completely subverted their understanding.


    They never knew that this decay spring actually still had such an effect.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This decay spring is actually a type of ancient spirit spring called reverse-life spirit spring!"


    "Reverse-life spirit spring?" Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli both had blank looks. Clearly, they had never heard of this name before.


    "You guys can''t be blamed for not knowing either. The reverse-life spirit spring has long disappeared in the Divine Realm already. I also saw it inside an ancient record, that was how I recognized it. I didn''t expect that inside this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm would actually have this kind of thing," Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    But Yue Jianfeng became anxious and asked, "Just what is the reverse-life spirit spring that you mentioned? Why would others be melted down when they enter the decay spring, while you''re completely fine?"


    Ye Yuan explained, "The reverse-life spirit springs is born from heaven and earth, containing powerful, yet violent essence energy. Legend has it that as long as one drinks a mouthful of reverse-life spirit spring, it could directly let a First Level Dao Profound martial artist breakthrough to Third Level Dao Profound! Of course, the prerequisite is that you''re not immediately stuffed by this violent essence energy until you explode."


    "What?! This �� This is also too exaggerated, right? That you just now ��"Yue Jianfeng nearly jumped up, a look of disbelief written all over his face.


    To the majority of martial artists, after breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, each breakthrough of a minor realm needed to expend several hundred years, even a thousand years of time.


    But one mouthful of spirit spring could let a First Level Dao Profound martial artist breakthrough to Third Level Dao Profound, this sort of spirit spring was also a bit too terrifying!


    More importantly, what Ye Yuan said was one mouthful of spirit spring. But that decay spring just now was a small pool. Although Ye Yuan broke through cultivation realm, the effects were far from as horrifying as he said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Heh, do you think that reverse-life spirit springs are cabbages on the roadside; there can be one randomly? That reverse-life spirit spring earlier has been diluted goodness knows how many times! If there was really such a large reverse-life spirit spring, do you think that I''d dare easily go into the water?"


    Yue Jianfeng''s old face could not help turning red, aware that he was overthinking it.


    This Vastsun Bright Moon Realm had God knows how many decay springs. If it was really all reverse-life spirit springs, then it would be even more precious than the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!


    "Big Brother Yuan, then this reverse-life spirit spring, why would people be melted away when they go into it?" Yue Mengli said doubtfully.


    The moment Yue Jianfeng heard, he could not help perking his ears up too. This was the area he was most curious about.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Reverse-life spirit springs have a distinguishing trait, that is when absorbing, one mustn''t revolve it according to normal cultivation methods. Otherwise, it would become strong corrosive poison, directly melting people away! One must reverse their cultivation methods to revolve, before they can absorb the essence energy inside. Reverse-life spirit springs got its name from this as well. Not knowing the inside story and rashly absorbing the spirit spring is no different from seeking death."


    Yue Jianfeng duo marveled endlessly when they heard. Creation was indeed miraculous. There was actually still such a bizarre spirit spring in this world.


    If one did not understand beforehand, who could have known that this terrifying decay spring was actually a heaven and earth rare treasure?


    Yue Jianfeng sighed incessantly when he heard, and said, "The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm has existed for so many years. Our Yue Family is sitting on a treasure but weren''t aware of it ourselves. What irony!"


    Ye Yuan sighed as well and said, "Truly envious of the martial artists in the Divine Dao Era! Most likely, many heaven and earth rare treasures utterly scattered and disappeared along with the disappearance of Divine Dao! This reverse-life spirit spring is a heaven and earth rare treasure to Dao Profound Realm martial artists. But when placed in the Divine Dao Era, it''s also nothing more than this, right?"


    First Level Dao Profound to Third Level Dao Profound sounded scary. But if Deity Realm powerhouses still existed in the world, this was also merely so-so.


    This degree of essence energy to Deity Realm powerhouses was probably also just trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.


    This reverse-life spirit spring was already extinct in the Divine Realm. No one was able to find any traces at all. Even records that recorded it were extremely, extremely rare.


    Although the Medicine King Hall was the super holy land with the most shallow foundation, the depths of its bedrock was what the average person could not imagine.


    For several thousand years, Ji Zhengyang explored who knows how many mystic realms and obtained quite a number of extremely valuable records.


    In order to pursuit the paramount Alchemy God Realm, Ye Yuan browsed through God knows how many of this type of records. His knowledge and understanding were not what ordinary martial artists could compare to at all.


    But in the Divine Dao Era, this level of heaven and earth rare treasure probably would not be as scarce as presently.


    Ye Yuan did not say so without reason as well.


    His goal was never the Divine King Realm, but that paramount Deity Realm!


    This sort of emotions, probably only the Yue Mengli whose heart was linked with his could understand.


    "Alright, continue the journey then! If we run into reverse-life spirit springs again, the two of you can also go in to absorb it," Ye Yuan said.

 956 Struggle for Spirit Springs

    Ye Yuan trio headed towards the deep areas. Along the way, it was peaceful as well.


    The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm was extremely vast. But the number of spirit springs was very scarce and not that easy to encounter.


    As for who could obtain it, it would have to depend on their respectively lucky chances.


    Of course, apart from the eye-baptizing spirit springs, there were still many heaven and earth rare treasures within the mystic realm. Those with good luck would similarly reap significant harvests.


    When the three people walked to a region of mountain valleys, suddenly, the place ahead was covered in mist, like a mortal world paradise.


    Yue Jianfeng could not help being overjoyed as he said in exhilaration, "It''s an eye-baptizing spirit spring. Furthermore, the grade isn''t low! Li-er, let''s go and check it out. If it''s a top-grade spirit spring, it will be yours."


    Eye-baptizing spirit springs were divided into five grade, respectively: low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and the legendary heaven-grade.


    It was said that if a martial artist acquired a heaven-grade spirit spring, it would produce a spirit physique second only to the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique, with exceedingly powerful ocular powers!


    It was just that heaven-grade spirit springs were too rare. The Yue Family entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm so many times and also merely obtained it a measly few times before.


    Hence, if Yue Mengli could obtain a top-grade spirit spring, it was already expressing thanks to heaven and earth.


    Top-grade spirit springs were also not that easy to run into.


    "It''s indeed a top-grade spirit spring! Heh, luck this time is really not bad. Just entered the mystic realm for two day''s time and we ran into a top-grade spirit spring! Li-er, you quickly enter the spirit spring. With this top-grade spirit spring, your ocular powers will have hopes of approaching the Divine Luo Realm!" Yue Jianfeng said delightedly.


    Ocular arts was a type of magical, yet mysterious technique, equivalent to adding an auxiliary martial technique for the martial artist.


    Powerful ocular arts could exterminate the opponent with a wave of one''s hands. Moreover, it was impossible to guard against.


    Ocular arts were not just the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil and Moonlight Heavenly Eye, these two types. The Divine Realm''s ocular arts had a wide variety. There were all sorts of abilities.


    It was just that these two types of ocular arts were the most renowned in the Divine Realm.


    However, no matter what kind of ability the ocular art was, the strength of the ocular art were divided into relative superiority or inferiority.


    Ocular arts did not have noble or lowliness. But ocular strength had its own division of realms.


    Regardless of what kind of ocular art, they were all divided into Mortal Embryo, Profound Dipper, Purple Essence, Spirit Indulgent, Divine Luo, these five greatfor visiting.


    "Heh heh, since you guys don''t care for a measly little top-grade spirit spring, then give it to us brothers!" suddenly, a boorish voice sounded out.


    Several figures suddenly dashed out, surrounding Yue Jianfeng trio in the center.


    The one in front was a very skinny man. Looking from the aura exuding off his body, he was actually already a Fifth Level Dao Profound powerhouse!


    Behind him were five to six people, all First Level and Second Level Dao Profound martial artists.


    This group of people''s strength was very formidable!


    Seeing that skinny guy, Yue Jianfeng''s expression changed as well, and said solemnly, "Wang Yao, are you making an enemy out of my Yue Family here? Even if we let you obtain the top-grade spirit spring, are you sure that you can escape the Yue Family''s pursuit?"


    Fifth Level Dao Profound powerhouses were all illustrious existences.


    This Wang Yao, Yue Jianfeng naturally recognized.


    Previously, Han Tong opening up a passageway, this Wang Yao was the group that saw the opportunity arise the quickest, and also the group with the most formidable strength.


    Wang Yao knew that the Yue Family definitely would not allow outsiders like them to go in unchecked. So after entering, he got involved with this group of people, for the sake of dealing with the Yue Family''s members.


    Yue Jianfeng''s strength was very strong. Originally, Wang Yao did not want to clash with him either. But seeing this top-grade spirit spring, it was not up to him to not be moved.


    "Heh heh, man dies in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food! With this top-grade spirit spring, breaking through to Sixth Level Dao Profound is also in sight! Why would I not take this risk?" Wang Yao said with a cold smile.


    Yue Jianfeng said in a solemn voice, "The spirit springs within the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm all belong to the Yue Family and Zhou Family. You, an outsider, wants to get a share too? I want to see how much capability you have! Ye Yuan, you bring Li-er and escape first. Wait until I dispose of Wang Yao, then I''ll catch up with you guys!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless look, "Escape? Just a bunch of trash, why do we have to run? You fight yours, our side here don''t need you to care."


    "Heh heh, my brothers, he, a Phaseless Realm brat, is looking down on us. What should we do?" Wang Yao said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "What should we do? Of course, it''s teaching this brat how to respect people!" said a Second Level Dao Profound powerhouse with a cold smile.Don''t worry, no need to remember these names, they never appear again, LOL!

 957 Battle Soul Awaken!

    "Ye Yuan, don''t mess around! I know that your combat strength is shocking. But Second Level Dao Profound, you guys are not a match!" Yue Jianfeng said anxiously.


    In the Bright Moon Competition, although Ye Yuan defeated Lin Chao, but Lin Chao had merely just entered Dao Profound Realm.


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, beating one or two Dao Profound Realms was doable. But dealing with six people all at once, among them even had a Second Level Dao Profound Realm powerhouse, it was completely out of the question.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You fight yours, what do you care so much for?"


    Yue Jianfeng could not help choking up. This brat really made people worry.


    He gritted his teeth and suddenly made a move, going straight for that Second Level Dao Profound.


    But Wang Yao was long prepared and said with a cold laugh, "Your opponent is me!"


    His figure moved and directly clashed with Yue Jianfeng.


    The two people''s cultivation realms were more or less the same. Their strength difference was not great. Even if Yue Jianfeng drew support from ocular powers, it was also very hard to defeat Wang Yao within a short time.


    But at this time, that Second Level Dao Profound slowly closed in on Ye Yuan and said with a mocking laugh, "Brat, don''t think that by defeating a rookie who just broke through to Dao Profound Realm, you think that you''re invincible under the heavens? Brothers, give this little brother a good lesson. Let him know what emperor realm experts are!!


    These people all saw the scene of Ye Yuan killing Lin Chao before, and were indeed taken aback by shock.


    However, Lin Chao only barely managed to break through to Dao Profound Realm in the end. Compared to a genuine First Level Dao Profound, there was still some gap.


    Let alone that there was even a Second Level Dao Profound here.


    Those few people immediately surrounded over. But Ye Yuan retreated to one side calmly, leaning against a large tree with folded arms.


    "Hey hey, when did I say that I''m invincible? Don''t get it wrong, your opponent is her, not me." Ye Yuan nudged at Yue Mengli with his mouth.


    Everyone froze, their gazes casting towards Yue Mengli. That Second Level Dao Profound suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, are you making a joke? Who in the world doesn''t know that the Yue Family''s eldest miss got an incurable illness. Even if it''s cured, she hasn''t cultivated properly all along these few years. You''re making her fight with us?"


    "Spineless coward, to actually hide behind a woman! Eldest Miss Yue, you fell for a man like this?" Another person said with a snicker.


    One had to admit that towards Yue Mengli, these few people still maintained a certain respect.


    Yue Mengli''s beauty was like a goddess of the heavens; making people unable to bear to profane.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s performance made them feel like a fresh flower was stuck onto cow manure.


    But Yue Mengli said coolly, "You all �� aren''t worthy to make Big Brother Yuan take action."


    The moment these few people heard, they could not help exchanging glances, and immediately bursting into laughter.


    "Haha, Miss Yue must be joking. The likes of you aren''t a match for the few of us yet. A man like this isn''t worthy of you entrusting."


    "Yeah, Miss Yue. You''d best quickly withdraw. Us uncles are all boorish people. Once we fight, we don''t want to hurt your fair and beautiful face."


    "Miss Yue, this brat is posturing himself, but makes you charge and storm the enemy ranks. Better dump him! Hahaha!"


    Over there, Yue Jianfeng was entangled in battle with Wang Yao on one hand. On the other hand, he also divided his attention to pay attention to the situation here.


    He saw that Ye Yuan actually retreated to one side and ignored matters, and could not help panicking as he said, "Ye Yuan, don''t mess around! Li-er''s body has just recovered and has neglected cultivation for a long time. It''s totally impossible to be their match!"


    But Wang Yao chortled with laughter when he saw the situation and said, "Yue Jianfeng, your opponent is me. The matters at the lower levels, let them settle it themselves! Haha! Relax, Miss Yue is the Yue Family''s apple of the eye. They won''t do anything to her. But as for that brat �� that''s up in the air."


    Wang Yao knew the prowess of the Moonlight Heavenly Eye. So he only tangled with Yue Jianfeng and did not fight to the bitter end with him.


    As long as the people downstairs finished Yue Mengli off, then took Yue Mengli as hostage, would he still be afraid that Yue Jianfeng would not submit obediently?


    Wang Yao also knew the power of the Yue Family. So before coming out, he had long thought of a surefire plan. Although he would offend the Yue Family like this, he would not offend beyond repair.


    But if he killed Yue Mengli, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    Even if he obtained a spirit spring, facing the Yue Family''s pursuit all over the world, there was also absolutely no chance of survival.


    But towards Yue Jianfeng''s roar, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to it and only said coolly, "Hey, the few of you, don''t blame me for not warning you guys, if you underestimate Li-er, the price you pay will be your lives!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan had a leisurely and relaxed appearance, not at all worried about Yue Mengli.


    "Heh heh, since Miss Yue is so impressive, then us brothers have to seek guidance properly. Quan Sheng, you go and challenge Miss Yue!" The Second Level Dao Profound said with a sneer.


    "Alright! Miss Yue, this Quan will have to offend!"


    That First Level Dao Profound called Quan Sheng rubbed his fists and wiped his palms, an appearance of cornering Yue Mengli.


    Only to see him extend a hand and grab. An enormous claw condensed from essence energy grabbed towards Yue Mengli. The momentum was extremely shocking.


    No martial artists able to cultivate to Dao Profound Realm was mediocre. Even if Lin Chao was really compared to this Quan Sheng, it was at most also evenly-matched.


    Experienced First Level Dao Profounds were not that easy to defeat.


    Crossing realms and defeating Dao Profound Realm martial artists, that was only something that extremely few people were able to accomplish.


    At least in other people''s view, it was impossible for Yue Mengli to have this capability.


    But right at this time, that originally warm and good-natured Yue Mengli'' temperament suddenly changed. A fierce aura surged towards the skies!


    Behind Yue Mengli, a gigantic phantom actually appeared!


    This phantom was exactly alike Yue Mengli. But the disposition was completely different. That phantom''s expression was very cold, but its body exuded a powerful battle intent.


    It was as if that phantom was born inherently for battle!


    "Dharma idol heaven and earth! How is this possible?!"


    Everyone looked at that phantom with incomparable astonishment. Quan Sheng''s grab was so laughable in front of this dharma idol heaven and earth!


    Chiii!


    Yue Mengli pointed a finger out. The dharma idol behind her similarly pointed a finger out!


    An incomparably swift and fierce white light tore right across the sky, shattering the claw Quan Sheng condensed into smithereens.


    Rumble!


    Quan Sheng did not even get to cry out miserably and was smashed into paste by this finger of white light.


    This dharma idol was too powerful!


    "Hiss ��"


    The remaining few martial artists retreated several steps in a row, all frightened by the scene just now.


    A veteran First Level Dao Profound actually could not even withstand the power of a finger and was directly eradicated!


    Didn''t they say that the Yue Family''s misses already did not cultivate for over a dozen years? How could she possibly be so strong?


    Even Yue Jianfeng and Wang Yao also stopped the fighting at this time, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    They clearly did not think that the all along delicately built Yue Family''s eldest miss actually had such powerful strength!


    "Tsk tsk, Innate Battle Soul Physique indeed lives up to its reputation! This isn''t some dharma idol heaven and earth, but Li-er''s Innate Battle Soul Physique! Incubating for so many years, she finally awoken!"


    Ye Yuan looked at that colossal figure and sighed with endless admiration.

 958 Yue Lingyu

    Innate Battle Soul Physique, after the spirit and flesh fusion reached a certain degree, the martial artist''s innate battle soul would awaken.


    A sentence circulated during the Ancient Era: Once the battle soul emerges, who can contend for supremacy!


    The battle soul was born for the sake of battle. It was inherently peerlessly powerful.


    Yue Mengli''s battle soul had just awakened not long ago. Currently, it was just a phantom.


    When her strength gets increasingly more profound, and the spirit and flesh fusion degree gets higher, the battle soul''s strength would also become more powerful, and become all the more corporeal as well!


    "Battle soul? Innate Battle Soul Physique! This �� there''s actually really such a terrifying spirit physique in this world! Furthermore �� furthermore, she''s even of the innate Moonlight Heavenly Eye Physique! If she cultivates to the Divine King Realm, who else can contend with her?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Wang Yao was fear-stricken with shock!


    He had apparently heard of the Innate Battle Soul Physique before. Regarding this spirit physique''s might, he had somewhat heard of it before.


    But after he recalled that Yue Mengli still had another type of terrifying spirit physique in her, he was no longer able to remain calm.


    Someone like this was simply born with a golden spoon in her mouth!


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said with a faint smile, "Looks like you still have some knowledge. To actually know about the Innate Battle Soul Physique."


    Wang Yao was startled and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost and said, "No wonder this girlie has always been plagued by a serious illness. Turns out it''s that these two types of spirit physiques were unable to co-exist! An existence like this, even heaven is jealous too! It was rumored that this girlie''s illness was cured by you. You �� you''re actually able to do such a thing!"


    With this, Ye Yuan was also rather surprised.


    This Wang Yao actually knew so much. This knowledge what not what the average person could have.


    No wonder this guy could charge into the mystic realm at the first moment. This Wang Yao was not simple.


    "Heh, really couldn''t tell that what you know is really quite a bit! Why, still want the spirit spring now?" Ye Yuan looked at Wang Yao with a smile that was not a smile as he said.


    Wang Yao''s face fell and he suddenly smacked a palm out. It actually headed straight for Yue Mengli!


    "Wang Yao, you''re courting death!" Yue Jianfeng did not expect this guy to suddenly deal a pre-emptive strike, his figure moving, rescuing at once.


    Right at this time, Wang Yao barked, "Go!"


    When he said this, his figure already arrived ten thousand feet away.


    That Second Level Dao Profound''s reaction was the fastest. He was the first one to turn tail and run. The others were slightly slower.


    But at this time, Yue Mengli did not have the intention of defending at all, pointing a finger out once more!


    "ARGH!!"


    A bolt of white light flashed past. Another Dao Profound Realm powerhouse died miserably under the battle soul.


    Rumble!


    At the same time, Yue Jianfeng also arrived just in time, resolving Wang Yao''s attack.


    However, it was already too late to want to catch up to these people. Those were all Dao Profound Realm powerhouses. All of their movement techniques were exceedingly swift, already vanishing from the three people''s sight.


    Yue Jianfeng looked at Yue Mengli, like it was his first day knowing her.


    "Li-er, turns out that you''re already so incredible! You really concealed so bitterly from Uncle Feng!" Yue Jianfeng said with a bitter smile.


    Yue Mengli said with a smile, "Li-er didn''t have the intention of hiding from Uncle Feng, but I just awoken the battle soul the other day under Big Brother Yuan''s help. Honestly speaking, when I just experienced the battle soul''s strength, I had a good scare too!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Yue Jianfeng involuntarily looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    This son-in-law seemed like there was nothing that could stump him.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No need to look at me with this sort of expression. The Innate Battle Soul Physique actually doesn''t need me to teach at all. Once the battle soul awakens, it''s like the demon race awakening their inheritance memories. Li-er''s strength will grow with each passing day. With her around, it''s also not impossible for the Yue Family to become the Divine Realm''s number one family clan in the future. The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is merely adding flowers to embroidery."


    Hearing these words, Yue Jianfeng''s entire body involuntarily trembled as he said in amazement, "This Innate Battle Soul Physique is actually so incredible?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It will only be more incredible than you imagine! Although the hope is very bleak, maybe by relying on this Innate Battle Soul Physique, Li-er will be able to break through the fetters! Of course, this is just my guess."


    Actually, Ye Yuan was also very much looking forward to just what level Yue Mengli could attain.


    After all, the Innate Battle Soul Physique already had not appeared for at least 200 thousand years. Whether Yue Mengli could rely on the spirit and flesh union to break through the fetters, nobody could say for sure either.


    Yue Jianfeng sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Ye Yuan''s words implied the birth of a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    If it was really like that, then the Yue Family would become the Divine Realm''s number one family without a doubt!


    Yue Jianfeng''s emotions only calmed down after a long time. He took out a small pot, muttering incantations under his breath. That top-grade spirit spring was actually harvested away just like that.


    The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm would only open once every 300 years. If they could only wait for the mystic realm to open before they could obtain spirit springs, they would have been destroyed long ago.


    This sort of pot was specially refined in order to collect spirit springs. Using it to bring spirit springs out of the mystic realm, one could save it for other people to use.


    This top-grade spirit spring, as long as one brought it out, it was a great merit.


    The three people got their things in order and were just about to leave when a figure arrived with a whistle. A beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in front of the three people.


    The beautiful madam looked to be 30 over years of age. Although she had lost some of her charms, she still retained her graceful bearing and was very elegant and poised. Between her brows was actually bore some resemblance to Yue Mengli. When she was young, she was definitely an unrivaled beauty as well.


    "I''ve seen Elder Lingyu!" Seeing this beautiful madam, Yue Jianfeng immediately bowed down to greet.


    "Granny Lingyu!" Yue Mengli also said happily.


    While Ye Yuan stood at one side casually, without the slightest intention of greeting.


    This beautiful madam was Yue Jianfeng''s aunt, Yue Family''s elder, Yue Lingyu!"


    At present, the Yue Family''s Ling character generation''s elderly folks were basically all reclusive and did not emerge. If not for encountering the mystic realm being breached, this sort of major matter, Yue Jianqiu also would not summon Yue Lingyu out.


    Yue Lingyu nodded her head at the two people, but said with Ye Yuan with knitted brows, "You, this child, should be Ye Yuan, right? Truly don''t know manners! Since you''ve already walked together with Li-er, don''t you know how to call granny?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I was afraid of making you out to be old, wasn''t I? Although you are Li-er granny generation, you don''t look much older than her either. I feel that calling you elder sister is more appropriate!"


    Yue Mengli shot a reproaching glare at Ye Yuan. Simply overflowing with flirtation.


    But she knew that wanting to make Ye Yuan call Yue Lingyu granny, that was something impossible.


    Although Yue Lingyu was a Divine King powerhouse, Ye Yuan''s previous life''s status was much higher than her''s. Talking this way was already looking on the account of her face.


    Yue Lingyu originally pulled a long face. But hearing Ye Yuan''s words, she chuckled and batted her eyes at Ye Yuan as she said, "You, child, are really honey-mouthed! If you were to call me elder sister, wouldn''t it thoroughly mess up the seniority? But these words, I like to hear it!"


    Ye Yuan immediately climbed up along the pole and said with a smile, "How can I! To each his own! I see that you''re so young, if I really have to make you out to be old, I really can''t get it out of my mouth!"


    "Hehe ��" Yue Lingyu was tickled by Ye Yuan, giving off silver bells-like laughter.So, every male in Yue Jianqiu''s generation will have Jian in their name. The females seem to have Ling. Not uncommon for the more traditional chinese families.

 959 Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill

    By the side, Yue Jianfeng''s expression was incomparably ugly.


    Ye Yuan calling Yue Lingyu elder sister, then wouldn''t he have to call Ye Yuan uncle?


    This seniority was jumbled until ��


    But in front of Yue Lingyu, Yue Jianfeng could not lost his temper either. He could only sulk at one side.


    "Hehe, you, child, really know how to talk! Done, call whatever you like. But I''ll say the nasty things first, if you''re not good to our family''s Li-er, I won''t let you off!" Yue Lingyu said half-jokingly.


    Yue Mengli was startled and hurriedly said, "Granny Lingyu, what are you saying? If not for Big Brother Yuan, Li-er would already be a dead person now. How could he not be good to me?"


    Yue Lingyu did not know Ye Yuan''s identity. If she got on Ye Yuan''s nerves, then she would be caught in the middle.


    Who knew that Yue Lingyu''s face fell and she said, "Silly lass! This is this, that is that. He saved you, doesn''t mean that he has to be nice to you. Men are all unfaithful. You got to keep a closer eye! You''re our Yue Family''s darling. No matter which family''s brat gets together with you, they all have to coax and fawn on you! If this brat dares to bully you in the future, just tell Granny Lingyu, grandaunt will definitely beat him until his bottom splits open!"


    Yue Lingyu was already getting on in years, but had no shame at all. Even someone as collected as Yue Mengli also could not quite endure it anymore.


    She was just about to stop Yue Lingyu from continuing to speak, but heard Ye Yuan say, "What is Elder Sister Lingyu saying. Li-er and my heart is connected together. I won''t let her down in this life! Not only am I going to treat her well, I also have to be good to Elder Sister Lingyu, right? When my cultivation realm reached, I''ll definitely refine a Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill for Elder Sister Lingyu, and let Elder Sister Lingyu be forever young!"


    Yue Lingyu''s eyes suddenly erupted with rays of brilliance, but looked at Ye Yuan with a doubtful face as she said, "You know how to refine the Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill? You aren''t bragging, right?"


    Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill was a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. The ingredients for refinement were extremely precious. The level of difficulty was exceedingly high as well. The Divine Realm only had that few peak alchemy emperors who had the ability to refine it.


    Furthermore, the Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill''s pill formula, there were barely anyone who knew it.


    She seriously did not dare to believe that this 20 plus years old lad in front of her was able to refine the Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill.


    Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill, it could drive any woman in the Divine Realm mad!


    Not only could it let an old granny like Yue Lingyu return to the height of her youth and vigor, with everlasting youth, it could even extend her longevity by a thousand years.


    A heaven-defying medicinal pill like this, who would not go crazy?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Whether it''s boasting or not, you''ll know at that time. However, the spirit medicines that this Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill requires, Elder Sister Lingyu will have to pool it together yourself."


    Yue Lingyu clearly still did not believe, and could not help turning her gaze towards Yue Jianfeng and Yue Mengli, clearly seeking their opinion.


    In contrast, she still believed the Yue Family''s people more.


    Yue Jianfeng was also incredibly shocked in his heart. Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill, he naturally knew as well. But to say that Ye Yuan could refine it, he still felt that it was still bragging a little too much.


    However, if Ye Yuan did not have this ability, how could he possibly see through the chronic illness within his body at one glance?


    Seems like this Ye Yuan could not be measured using common sense at all!


    "Elder Lingyu, this �� Ye Yuan probably have this ability. At least, this nephew feels that the family''s alchemy emperor experts are all inferior to him!" Yue Jianfeng told the honest truth.


    But Yue Mengli smiled sweetly and said, "Granny Lingyu, don''t doubt anymore! Big Brother Yuan, says that he can refine it, means he definitely can refine it. Just put your mind at ease and boldly prepare the spirit medicines!"


    Got to be kidding, if even Ye Yuan could not refine the Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill, then absolutely no one in the Divine Realm could refine it.


    Yue Lingyu looked at Yue Mengli with great astonishment, uncertain where her confidence came from.


    But she watched Yue Mengli grow up since young and knew that this lass would never dupe her on this sort of matter.


    Furthermore, although Yue Jianfeng said it tactfully, he also acknowledged Ye Yuan''s alchemy path strength immensely!


    This boy actually had such heaven-defying alchemy path strength? Just what background did he have?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Fine! If you can help this elderly self refine a Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill, this elderly self will gift you the Mountain & River State Painting!" Yue Lingyu said.


    Transcendent-grade holy artifact, Mountain & River State Painting, was an imitation divine artifact, possessing unimaginable power. It was much more powerful compared to ordinary transcendent-grade holy artifacts.


    It was just that Ye Yuan already possessed a genuine divine artifact currently, and even had the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl whose grades were uncertain. How could he still take a fancy on the Mountain & River State Painting?


    "Heh, no need for that. Elder Sister Lingyu is Li-er''s grandaunt, refining medicinal pills for you is ought to be. How can I want your stuff!" Ye Yuan said with a light chuckle.


    But that hint of disdain in Ye Yuan''s eyes still deeply pricked Yue Lingyu.


    She could tell that Ye Yuan really did not care for the Mountain & River State Painting, and was not deliberately being generous.


    "Pffft ��"


    Yue Mengli suddenly burst out laughing. Yue Jianfeng also stifled his laughter.


    The moment Yue Lingyu saw, she could not help becoming even more puzzled, and said, "What are you guys laughing at? Could it be that my Mountain & River State Painting can''t even match up to a Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill?"


    Yue Mengli said with a smile, "Granny Lingyu, your elderly self has been in closed-seclusion all along, and still don''t know the events that happened during the Bright Moon Competition. Ye Yuan he used a quasi-divine artifact to kill his opponent, winning the Bright Moon Competition! Although your Mountain & River State Painting is good, it can''t compare to a quasi-divine artifact no matter what as well, right?"


    Yue Lingyu lightly drew a breath, wanting to calm the agitation in her heart.


    She had just exited seclusion and only inquired briefly regarding the Bright Moon Competition''s matters, and had no time to understand in detail at all yet.


    This Mr. Right that Li-er found seemed to be remarkable!


    No, wait, it should be rather mysterious!


    Refining a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill, owning a quasi-divine artifact, this was not something that an ordinary youth could do.


    "Elder Sister Lingyu, you''re here to chase Han Tong, right? If you still don''t chase after, they''ll be entering the deepest areas of the mystic realm soon." Ye Yuan was not willing to get tangled up on this problem and reminded.


    Yue Lingyu had her head all muddled up by Ye Yuan, her head filled with the Ninth Heaven Ageless Pill, and actually forgot official matters for a moment.


    Only after being reminded by Ye Yuan, did she suddenly suddenly come to a realization.


    "Yes, yes, official business is important! Your speed is too slow, I''ll bring you all!"


    Not waiting for the three people to answer either, Yue Lingyu flicked her sleeves grandly and disappeared carrying the three people.


    Just half a day and the four people flew a distance of several tens of millions of miles!


    "Teleportation arts are unable to be displayed inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, which delayed some time. Hearing from Jianqiu, that Han Tong is merely Sixth Level Dao Profound. Calculating according to the distance, he shouldn''t have reached here yet. If Han Tong really came for the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, then he definitely has to come to Yellow Millet Mountain. We can just lie in wait here." Yue Lingyu said coolly.


    Currently, the scenery ahead was already completely different.


    This place was akin to the sun at high noon, and after a light screen ahead, it was covered under the canopy of the moon and stars, where night had fallen.


    That light screen seemingly isolate the two worlds.


    Over at the light screen was a stretch of mountain ridges in an unbroken chain. It should be the Yellow Millet Mountain Yue Lingyu talked about.

 960 Might of a Divine Artifact!

    Before the light screen, gathered more and more martial artists.


    People who were able to arrive here, their strength were all very formidable. They were basically all Dao Profound Realm martial artists.


    These martial artists had the Yue Family, Zhou Family, and even foreign martial artists.


    But the foreign martial artists were clearly all very wary of Yue Lingyu. Although they came here, they avoided far away.


    But Yue Lingyu did not have the intention of going forward to look into it. Only then, did these people let out a sigh in relief.


    Ye Yuan and co. were currently meditating over here when another batch of people made it before the light screen.


    The Yue Lingyu who had her eyes shut the whole time to rest her mind finally opened her eyes this time, her gaze locking onto an old man.


    The old man was as thin as a rake, but was in good health, his body exuding an unfathomable aura.


    Behind the old man, a youngster looked at Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression, with sheer hostility.


    This young man was precisely Zhou Yan!


    "Zhou Boping, you''re too slow!" Yue Lingyu said to the old man.


    This Zhou Boping was also a reclusive Divine King powerhouse of the Zhou Family. Bright Moon City and Vastsun City were merely ten thousand miles apart. Things that happened here, there was no way the Zhou Family would not know.


    Therefore, the Zhou Family sent out a Divine King powerhouse too, to prepare for the worst.


    Zhou Boping said coolly, "Something happened along the way, got delayed."


    Although his words were dull, Zhou Boping''s faint look of delight could not be concealed.


    Yue Lingyu swept her gaze towards the Zhou Yan behind him, and discovered that Zhou Yan''s gaze was deep, with a kind of berserk aura bursting out.


    Zhou Yan was very pleased with himself inwardly. Their group of people found a top-grade eye-baptizing spirit spring along the way. After he used it, he already underwent a thorough transformation.


    Now, his First Level Dao Profound already utterly consolidated. The ocular powers of the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil also broke through a major step, stepping into middle-stage spirit indulgent.


    Zhou Yan discovered that Yue Mengli''s ocular powers did not seem to have much changes. Clearly, the Yue Family did not obtain a top-grade spirit spring.


    He originally thought that Yue Lingyu would be surprised, but she did not have any indication. She just said to Zhou Boping indifferently, "Since you''ve arrived, should we make a move? That group of people haven''t reached yet. If we delay, it might bring about an unforeseen accident."


    Towards Yue Lingyu''s attitude, Zhou Boping was also somewhat surprised.


    He knew that Yue Lingyu''s personality was eager to outdo in everything. Now that the Zhou Family took the first strike, she actually did not have any indication, as if Yue Mengli had nothing to do with her at all.


    If it were before, Yue Lingyu would definitely burn with jealousy. But now, she already knew the terror of Yue Mengli''s Innate Battle Soul Physique. Towards Zhou Yan''s little lucky chance, she turned her nose up at it.


    Furthermore, Yue Mengli was simply disdainful to use a top-grade spirit spring. But the Zhou Family treated it like a treasure. This also made her very amused in her heart.


    "En, these words are reasonable. Let''s begin!"


    Zhou Boping''s nonchalant voice sounded out. Two horrifying auras shot towards the sky.


    Two mighty divine king auras were fully released. The process was incomparably shocking from start to end.


    That group of martial artists who secretly ventured in were all deathly pale at this time.


    Turns out that it was not that Yue Lingyu was not planning on settling scores with them, but waiting for the Zhou Family to arrive and settle it together!


    It was just that they did not understand, with Yue Lingyu''s strength, it seemed like there was no need to wait for Zhou Boping to come.


    "Quickly run!" These people reacted very quickly, turning tail and running.


    On this stretch of open ground gathered a hundred foreign martial artists. Fleeing helter-skelter all at once, the momentum was not weak either.


    Right at this time, another aura billowed to the sky among the foreign martial artists.


    In terms of aura, it was actually not the slightest bit weaker compared to Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping!


    Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. Did not expect that there was actually a Divine King powerhouse concealed among the foreign martial artists!


    "Yue Lingyu, Zhou Boping, you guys don''t push people too far!"


    The one talking was a middle-aged martial artist with sloppy and ordinary looks. Throwing into a pile of people, it really was not the least bit conspicuous.


    Only then, did everyone come to a realization. No wonder Yue Lingyu did not make a move all along. Turns out that she had long discovered this middle-aged martial artist hiding in the crowd.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Waiting for Zhou Boping to arrive at this time and fighting two-on-one, the assurance of dealing with this middle-aged martial artist was much greater.


    "Ruan Shuangzhou, you infiltrating the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm is provoking the Zhou and Yue two families. Now, you''re actually saying that we''re pushing you too far?" Zhou Boping said coolly.


    "Humph, heaven and earth priceless treasures are obtained by those fated for them! Since somebody breached the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, why can''t we enter?" Ruan Shuangzhou said.


    "Since that''s the case, then you''ll have to suffer the fury of our two families!"


    Yue Lingyu did not waste her breath either. Extending her hand and beckoning, an enormous painting suddenly unfurled, covering the sky and obscuring the sun!


    "It''s the Mountain & River State Painting! Quickly run!"


    However, it was already too late ��


    An enormous suction force transmitted over, directly wanting to suck the martial artists trying to escape into the painting.


    Even Ruan Shuangzhou''s figure was also teetering unsteadily at this time. Clearly, he was almost unable to resist the Mountain & River State Painting''s suction force either.


    Zhou Boping''s eyes flickered. A terrifying flame power erupted around Ruan Shuangzhou.


    Zhou Yan''s Vastsun Flameheart Pupil compared to Zhou Boping simply paled in comparison. The power could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Being pincer-attacked by two might Divine King experts, Ruan Shuangzhou''s pressure was clearly immense. He looked as if it was too much for him to withstand anymore.


    Once taken into the Mountain & River State Painting, Ruan Shaungzhou would become even more passive.


    Although this Mountain & River State Painting was an imitation divine artifact, its power was immense in Yue Lingyu''s hands too.


    Once sucked inside, one would be suppressed by the Mountain & River State Painting''s laws. Furthermore, Yue Lingyu would not suffer any influence when battling inside.


    When one aspect was weaker, the others would be stronger. No matter how formidable Ruan Shuangzhou was, it was also not possible to be Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping''s match.


    Swoosh ��


    Ruan Shaungzhou needed to divide his attention to deal with Zhou Boping''s Vastsun Flameheart Pupil. Finally, he could not hold out anymore and was sucked inside the Mountain & River State Painting.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred!


    A terrifying light beam tore through the void, slamming onto the Mountain & River State Painting with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!


    Under this attack, the Mountain & River State Painting''s restraining powers were greatly diminished. Ruan Shuangzhou''s essence energy abruptly erupted, directly breaking loose of the fetters.


    Crack �� Crack ��


    The Mountain & River State Painting actually produced a trace of a crack under this attack!


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. This was a transcendent-grade holy artifact. It actually produced a crack under one blow!


    Whoosh ��


    One figure after another was spat out by the Mountain & River State Painting. These people all secretly heaved a sigh of relief at getting lucky, to actually survive with their lives.


    Yue Lingyu''s expression changed. Reaching her hand out and beckoning, she took the Mountain & River State Painting back.


    "What a fine Spirithorn Shattering Mirror! This grudge today, this elderly self has remembered it!"


    Yue Lingyu''s heart was dripping blood. This imitation Mountain & River State Painting had followed her for god knows how many years. Today, it actually had a crack blasted out. How could she not be furious?


    At this time, several figures appeared in the people''s line of sight. The one in the lead was precisely Han Tong!


    Han Tong came to Ruan Shaungzhou''s side slowly and said with a smile, "Divine King Ruan, since you''re not tolerated by the Yue and Zhou two families, why not form an alliance with this Han, how about it?"


    Hearing these words, Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping''s expressions both changed.


    A Divine King powerhouse, and one wielding a divine artifact in his hands. Once these two formed an alliance, matters would become troublesome!

 961 Entering Formation

    Ruan Shuangzhou''s expression was very ugly. He nodded his head and said, "Seems like at present, this Ruan has no better alternatives as well."


    One sentence, pledged that this temporary alliance was established.


    Han Tong said, "You two divine kings, are you fighting a round first, or is everybody entering Yellow Millet Mountain, each relying on their good luck?"


    Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping''s expressions were equally ugly. The might of a divine artifact, they both had experienced it just now. An attack blasted out a crack on a transcendent-grade holy artifact. There was no way to fight at all!


    But letting them enter just like this, the duo were also not reconciled to it.


    For a moment, the two people were silent and did not speak. Clearly, they could not make up their minds.


    "What''s there to fight, harming the harmoniousness? Since everybody already came in, why not enter Yellow Millet Mountain together. As for who can obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, everybody each rely on your own ability." Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s eyes turned towards Ye Yuan collectively.


    This boy''s gall was also too fat, right?


    A conversation between divine kings, he actually dared to interject too.


    Zhou Boping''s face turned black and he said, "Brat, who the hell do you think you are? Do you know what the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil signifies to the Zhou and Yue two families? You say it easily, but if it''s really snatched away by outsiders, can you bear the responsibility?"


    Zhou Yan sneered coldly by the side. Ye Yuan sticking his head out at this time, wasn''t it asking for trouble?


    Forget about Zhou Boping, even Yue Lingyu probably would not show him a good attitude either.


    Indeed, he saw Yue Lingyu''s face turn cold and utter, "Zhou Boping, Ye Yuan is my Yue Family''s son-in-law! Even if it''s lecturing, it''s not your turn either! He naturally has his reasons in saying so! It''s not too late to speak after you finish hearing it!"


    When the people waiting to watch a good show heard this, they nearly broke down.


    They never would have thought that Yue Lingyu actually started fighting with Zhou Boping for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Han Tong has a divine artifact in his possession. His strength absolutely doesn''t lose to the two of you. Clashing bitterly here right now, nobody can gain anything either. But the two of you don''t forget, the both of them are each harboring their own ulterior motives. This alliance was only formed under the pressure of you guys as well. Instead, if you let the two of them go inside, if we really run into the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, they will probably start fighting among themselves. At that time, you just have to sit and profit from the snipe and clam fighting."


    Ye Yuan''s words were said very loudly, without the intention of avoiding Han Tong and co. at all.


    But uttering these words, even Han Tong themselves had no way of retorting.


    One should not prohibit crudely when encountering problems, but should guide systematically. It was this meaning.


    Yue Lingyu could not help giving a soft smile and said, "It''s still you, boy, who are clever! Alright, we''ll listen to you!"


    Zhou Boping opened his mouth, but did not say anything either.


    Looking at the current situation, if they really fought, it would probably end up with both parties sustaining great losses. Since that was the case, might as well let them enter.


    "This boy has such deep scheming! One sentence made our newly formed alliance teeter." Han Tong gritted his teeth and said.


    Ruan Shuangzhou originally formed an alliance with them due to the pressure, and he could just nice make use of him a little.


    But Ye Yuan pointing it out so clearly, the Ruan Shuangzhou''s wariness would definitely be heavier. Some things would not be easy to do then.


    ...


    Everyone arrived in front of the light screen, but nobody dared to take a step forward.


    Because this light screen was a grand array with exceedingly powerful might!


    Those present were all not mediocre and could naturally perceive the actual situation.


    The reason why they had been waiting outside of the light screen all along was because they were waiting for Han Tong''s arrival!


    Han Tong wielded a divine artifact and could even shatter the mystic realm''s space. Presumably, breaking this grand array should be nothing difficult.


    "Heh, Yin Yang Reversal Grand Array, this is a peak Tier 9 grand array! Unless the Grand Yan Divine King is here, otherwise, who dares to easily go over?" Han Tong said with a laugh.


    Ruan Shuangzhou said, "What conditions does your esteem self have, give it to us straight."


    Han Tong smiled and said, "It''s easy to have dealings with smart people! Brother Ruan, since you and I have already formed an alliance, we''ll naturally advance and retreat together. Bringing you in is ought to be. Except, this Han only wants the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Other things, even if Brother Ruan takes ten thousand articles, it''s none of this Han''s business either. If there''s a need to, this Han will even make a move to help out. What do you think?"


    Ruan Shuangzhou''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Your esteemed self really calculated well! Those who came here, which one isn''t aiming for the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? Otherwise, with my strength, why would I need to take the risk of offending the Zhou and Yue two families and venture in here? This matter is off the table, worst comes to worst, we don''t cooperate anymore! At most, this Ruan will retreat here and now. I believe those two don''t make things too difficult as well. As for you, that will be hard to say!"


    Ruan Shuangzhou was an itinerant divine king, who came and went freely. If he really could not obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, there would not be any losses either. But Han Tong even took out a divine artifact, he could not bear the loss!


    This point, how could Ruan Shuangzhou not perceive it? Wanting to knead him through the light screen, how was that possible?


    Han Tong smiled and said, "Alright then, since that''s the case, looks like it won''t do if this Han doesn''t bring Brother Ruan inside! Fine, at that time, we''ll each just rely on our own capabilities."


    Originally, Han Tong had his own schemes. But being exposed by Ye Yuan with a flurry of words, wanting to make Ruan Shuangzhou to exert himself to the utmost was not too likely anymore.


    Hence, he wanted to threaten Ruan Shuangzhou through the light screen, hoping to be able to force him to give in. Who knew that this Ruan Shuangzhou was not easy to knead either, and actually countered with a bite.


    Han Tong came in front of the light screen and said to everyone around him, "In a while, I''ll activate the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror. You guys stick by my side and be careful!"


    "Yes, Your Excellency!" Everyone answered.


    "Ye Yuan, this Yin Yang Reversal Grand Array''s power is limitless. You and Li-er follow closely in a while!" At this time, Yue Lingyu also instructed Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Elder Sister Lingyu just have to care about bringing Yue Jianfeng over. Li-er and I don''t need you to worry."


    Yue Lingyu froze and said rather disbelievingly, "Even those Dao Profound Realm experts don''t dare to easily enter the grand array. You''re confident?"


    "Heh, relax, Elder Sister Lingyu. I''m afraid it''s rather taxing for you to bring the four of us along, right? That way, everybody will be in danger instead. Might as well we do it ourselves." Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, Han Tong deployed the divine artifact, and actually forcefully opened up a passageway in the light screen.


    "Go!"


    Under Han Tong''s order, he took the lead and entered inside together with Ruan Shuangzhou. The others followed closely behind.


    When those foreign martial artists saw the situation, they immediately charged into the passageway swiftly.


    However, the Yin Yan Reversal Grand Array''s restoration ability was extremely powerful. It finished repairing the passageway from before very quickly.


    "Ahh, ahhh ��"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    For a moment, miserable cries echoed together.


    Those Dao Profound Realm experts actually persevered for less than a second inside this grand array before being utterly garroted.


    This grand array contained yin and yang, two forces, inter-converting non-stop. People who did not understand array formations would be torn into shreds by the violent yin and yang converting forces very quickly when landing inside.


    "Let''s go in too!" Ye Yuan lightly said a sentence, and brought Yue Mengli in with a lift of his leg.


    In this area, the grand array actually did not stir up the slightest bit of wave!


    Seeing this scene, Yue Lingyu''s expression could not help changing. A grand array that even middle-stage Dao Profound Realm martial artists were unable to break through, Ye Yuan actually went in so effortlessly!

 962 Who Fell into an Illusion??

    Swoosh!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli had just came out from inside the Yin Yang Reversal Grand Array when a figure suddenly dashed out and unleashed an attack at the two of them.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s reaction was extremely quick. He took out the Vast Heaven Pagoda and directly mowed that figure down.


    This green-robed man''s strength was not weak; already reached Dao Profound Realm.


    But under the suppression of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he was still directly blotted out.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly and said, "Inside this Yellow Millet Mountain actually still have other people?"


    This green-robed man was totally not those people outside previously. Therefore, Ye Yuan was very curious.


    Li-er said, "Yellow Millet Mountain''s name comes from ''dream upon yellow millet''! The illusion in the space here is very formidable. Even divine king powerhouses have a likelihood of falling into the illusion too! In the space here, one might fall into an illusion at any time and any place. Once they are unable to extricate themselves, they will be forever damned inside the illusion, becoming a set of walking corpse."


    Ye Yuan was very surprised. An illusion capable of making divine kings sink into it, how powerful should it be?


    It was said that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil could see through everything false and intangible, and was also able to make people sink inside forever. Looks like the saying was not false.


    No wonder everyone all thought that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was at Yellow Millet Mountain. Turns out that it was this reason.


    Ye Yuan looked over and discovered that there were human heads swaying faintly in the mountain. Looks like they were all martial artists who had utterly sunk inside the illusion.


    The Vastsun Bright Moon Realm had existed for at least 100 thousand years. Even if it opened once every 300 years, the walking corpses this Yellow Millet Mountain accumulated was also a terrifying number.


    After all, each time it opened, there would always be some people who harbored the mentality of getting lucky, thinking that they could obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. But in the end, they got bogged down here.


    "The Yue Family has already prohibited Yue Family disciples from entering the Yellow Millet Mountain. But every time the mystic realm opens, there are still people who go in." Yue Mengli said with a dim expression.


    There were quite a number of these walking corpses that were her clansmen. She naturally felt awful in her heart when she saw.


    Ye Yuan consoled, "Maybe after acquiring the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, we''ll be able to rescue them."


    The light screen flickered. There were people walking out from inside the Yin Yang Reversal Grand Array again. It was precisely Han Tong and co.!


    They entered the grand array first compared to Ye Yuan, but came out even slower than Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, looks of surprise also flashed across Han Tong and co.''s faces.


    Han Tong looked at Ye Yuan with an unkind expression and was just about to make a move when the light screen flickered again. Yue Lingyu also exited the grand array.


    Han Tong secretly lamented it. If Yue Lingyu came out a bit later, he would be able to make a move to capture Ye Yuan.


    The quasi-divine artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands, he was very covetous too.


    "Let''s go!"


    Han Tong gave a cold snort, bringing everyone, and faded into the moonlight.


    Ahead, waves of powerful essence energy undulations transmitted over from time to time. Clearly, Han Tong they all already came to blows with those walking corpses.


    Not long after, Zhou Boping also brought Zhou Yan and walked out from inside the grand array. Looking at the time, one could also determine that Zhou Boping''s strength was likely still slightly inferior to Yue Lingyu.


    "Let''s also set off for the main peak. Everybody be more careful, don''t fall into the illusionary realm. On Yellow Millet Mountain, divine king powerhouses are unable to fly too, we can only go on foot. For 100 thousand years, there has yet to be anybody capable of walking up the main peak. Also not sure whether we can reach it or not." Yue Lingyu said with a slightly solemn expression.


    Behind them, there were still many martial artists with formidable strength rushing the formation. But whether or not they were able to walk out would have to depend on their own luck.


    Inside this space, even experts on the level of Yue Lingyu might not be able to protect themselves either. They also seriously had no energy to go care about others.


    Along the way, it was all Zhou Boping and Yue Lingyu, the two people blazing the trail. Ye Yuan and the rest were happily idle.


    But Ye Yuan discovered that the roadside scenery seemed to be exactly alike. It did not change the entire time.


    He had constantly maintained Heart Like Monolith heart realm, and could confirm that he was not seeing hallucinations. But the scenery wayside gave people an extremely unreal feeling.


    Actually, ever since entering the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, Ye Yuan had constantly felt very strange in his heart.


    But where it was odd, he himself could not put his finger to it either.


    Right at this time, Yue Lingyu''s expression suddenly changed and she said solemnly, "Not good, we seem to have fallen into a heavy encirclement! There are several auras which are very powerful. Zhou Boping, respond carefully."


    Zhou Boping''s face was very grim as well. Nodding his head, he said to Zhou Yan, "Yan-er, there are divine king powerhouses among these walking corpses. In a while, I might not be able to divide my attention. You be careful yourself!"


    Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Rest assured, grand-uncle, Yan-er knows how to act appropriately!"


    Yue Lingyu did not turn her head around, but instructed Yue Jianfeng, "Jianfeng, Ye Yuan and Li-er will be left to you!"


    "Yes!" Yue Jianfeng said in a solemn voice.


    Very soon, a large group of dark silhouettes appeared indistinctly within the forest.


    Each and every one of these dark shadows'' aura was very powerful. There were even two who already reached divine king realm!


    Yue Lingyu''s face turned cold and she suddenly smacked a palm out.


    Rumble!


    The palm of a divine king, the imposing momentum was incomparably shocking, directly killing a large swathe of dark shadows whose strength were weaker.


    Zhou Boping was not resigned to playing second fiddle too. The Vastsun Flameheart Pupil suddenly erupted, similarly exterminating a large swathe.


    However, the surrounding walking corpses were seriously too many. Furthermore, those whose strength were formidable also avoided the two of their attacks.


    Yue Jianfeng, Zhou Yan, and Yue Mengli, each and every one of them were akin to facing a a great enemy, all awaiting in full battle-array.


    "What are you guys going?" Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, seeming so discordant.


    Zhou Yan''s gaze swept over coldly and he berated, "So many walking corpses, are you blind?"


    "Walking corpses? Where are there walking corpses?" Ye Yuan said with nonchalance.


    Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping involuntarily became alarmed inwardly, each shutting their eyes, revolving essence energy and soul force to the limits. When they opened them again, there were still lots and lots of walking corpses surrounding them.


    This was not a hallucination!


    "Can''t you see? We''ve already fallen into a tight encirclement!" Yue Lingyu said to Ye Yuan.


    She was somewhat uncertain right now, just whether she fell into an illusion, or was it Ye Yuan himself who fell into an illusion.


    Zhou Boping said solemnly, "This boy definitely fell into an illusion! Right now, powerful enemies lie ahead. We can''t bother with him either. Whether he lives or dies will depend on himself!"


    Done talking, Zhou Boping leaped and directly charged over, facing off with a divine king powerhouse.


    Yue Lingyu''s expression changed and she said to Yue Mengli, "Li-er, I have no time to take care of you guys right now. You look after Ye Yuan. Hope that we can charge out of the tight encirclement!"


    Finished talking, Yue Lingyu also suddenly attacked, clashing together with another divine king powerhouse.


    Two mighty divine kings attacking, the momentum was very shocking. But there were still even more other experts currently glaring like ravening tigers by the side, already pouncing over here.


    "It''s okay, Big Brother Yuan! With Li-er here, I won''t let people harm you!" Yue Mengli blocked in front of Ye Yuan and said resolutely.


    On the other side, when Zhou Yan saw this scene, he gnashed his teeth until it made grinding sounds.It''s an idiom which is an analogy for how dreams of riches are fleeting. The idiom comes from a story where after a guy finishes dreaming of riches, he wakes up and discovers that the yellow millet isn''t even cooked yet.

 963 Ye Yuan Fell Victim!

    The two mighty divine kings were currently in the midst of fierce fighting, but Ye Yuan''s expression was grim.


    The others all saw walking corpses covering the hills and plains, only he alone could not see.


    They all felt that it was Ye Yuan who got hit with the illusionary art, and fell into an illusion.


    Because Ye Yuan''s strength was the ''weakest'', and his cultivation was also the lowest.


    Bang!


    Zhou Boping was struck by a palm from that divine king expert opposite, directly injuring him.


    But what was strange was that Ye Yuan actually saw that Zhou Boping really sustained injuries, and even vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, aware that this illusion was extremely formidable; a mixture of truth and falsehood. What was authentic and fake were indistinguishable.


    If they kept fighting, the rest of them would lose their lives here, or become walking corpses!


    Ye Yuan slowly shut both eyes and revolved his essence energy to the limits. Forming a seal veiled in mystery in his hand, he suddenly gave a loud shout: "Jie!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice spread out like rolling thunder, and actually had a kind of magical power that penetrated the soul, enlightening the benighted!


    Yue Mengli and Zhou Yan who were beside him were suddenly startled, as if they had woken up from a dream. All of the falsehood and ethereal before their eyes all disappeared.


    Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping similarly trembled all over, their eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    With this shout of Ye Yuan''s, all of the walking corpses vanished from sight.


    "We �� it was actually us who fell into an illusion!" Yue Lingyu said somewhat disbelievingly.


    Two mighty divine kings actually fell into an illusion at the same time and did not know. How frightening did this illusionary art have to be?


    Furthermore, the Yue Family''s Moonlight Heavenly Eye was also originally known for illusionary arts. She actually also fell for it unknowingly!


    "Heh, this Yellow Millet Mountain''s reputation is indeed well-deserving of its fame!" Ye Yuan said with a slight pant.


    Just now, he directly scattered the illusionary art that the few people fell for with the ''Jie'' character inside the Nine Characters True Word Formula. He himself also suffered a great loss of vitality.


    The ''Jie'' character, could break myriad laws under the heavens.


    Ye Yuan cultivated for a long time. Although he could not achieve this level, if he went all out, breaking illusionary arts was still feasible.


    It was just that this way, he himself also had heavy losses in essence energy, and needed to regulate his breathing properly for a while.


    "Ye Yuan, how did you do it? This illusionary art is very formidable, I actually succumbed to the illusionary art and was not aware. You''re actually able to not be affected? Furthermore, that word you spoke earlier seemed to contain the maxim of Great Dao. What was that?" Yue Lingyu inquired full of doubts and suspicions.


    Zhou Boping and Zhou Yan also perked their ears up. Clearly, they were all very curious as to why only Ye Yuan was fine.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Although your cultivation realms are high, your heart realms are too low. The strongest is also merely Heart Like Still Water, while I''ve long stepped into Heart Like Monolith Realm already! As for that word, it was a spell which I learned by accident. It can break myriad laws."


    "Alright, Big Brother Yuan''s exhaustion is tremendous. Better let him rest a bit first. We''ll stand guard for him." Yue Mengli defended Ye Yuan.


    Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping exchanged glances, both endlessly shocked in their hearts.


    The dao of heart realm was exceedingly difficult to cultivate, because there was no approach at all. But Ye Yuan''s heart realm had actually long stepped into Heart Like Monolith at a young age already. This was too terrifying.


    But it was also fortunate that Ye Yuan''s means were heaven-defying. Otherwise �� they thought about it and also felt endless fear after the event.


    Falling into an illusionary realm in this Yellow Millet Mountain, there was a very good chance that one would become a walking corpse.


    An outcome like this was not acceptable to them.


    Setting off on the journey once more, everyone were much more careful, fearful of falling into an illusion a second time.


    Treading carefully along the way, they finally arrived at the foot of the main peak.


    Right at this time, another group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain. They were none other than precisely Han Tong and company.


    It was truly: enemies meet on a narrow path. Did not expect that when they reached the foot of the main peak, they actually ran into them once again.


    Except, Han Tong and co. looked to be in a wretched plight. Moreover, Ruan Shuangzhou''s figure was gone. Also no idea if they got separated, or they ran into walking corpses on the way and got stuck inside.


    But no matter what, there was no way Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping would let this opportunity slip by.


    Virtually right at the first moment he saw Ye Yuan and co, Han Tong displayed his movement technique, escaping up the mountain frenziedly.


    How could Yue Lingyu duo be willing to let him go? Their figures swept past, chasing after Han Tong immediately. The three people vanished from everyone''s line of sight very quickly.


    This group of people who remained were also too weak to stand up to competition in Yue Jianfeng''s eyes.


    Yue Jianfeng also did not show the least bit of leniency. directly brandishing his sword and charging over.


    Over here, only Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli, and Zhou Yan were left.


    This time, Ye Yuan did not stop Yue Lingyu duo and Yue Jianfeng. He just observed from the sidelines with a cold glance, and did not say a word.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to Yue Mengli with a profound meaning, "Who exactly is your esteemed self? To be able to make this Ye succumb to an illusionary art unknowingly, truly impressive!"


    Yue Mengli was stupefied and said baffledly, "Big Brother Yuan, what nonsense are you saying? I''m Li-er!"


    Zhou Yan''s expression changed too and he reproached, "Ye Yuan, why are you going off your rocker again?"


    But Ye Yuan was unmoved and said calmly, "This Ye''s heart realm has long reached Heart Like Monolith already. But I still didn''t notice when I fell for the illusionary art. Your esteemed self''s measures are startling. But even more lifelike illusionary arts also have flaws. You can perfectly replicate other people''s personality, bearing, words, but some things, you can''t replicate them in the end."


    Yue Mengli had a panic-stricken look. Pulling Ye Yuan, she said, "Big Brother Yuan, quickly wake up! I �� I''m really Li-er! Just what kind of nonsense are you saying?"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and suddenly smacked a palm out with overwhelming force, directly slamming onto Yue Mengli''s chest, sending her flying out.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Yue Mengli did not resist in the slightest. A mouthful of blood sprayed out, dyeing her clothes red.


    When Zhou Yan saw this scene, he could not help flying into a great rage. He pointed at Ye Yuan''s nose and scolded, "Ye Yuan, Li-er is head-over-heels in love with you, you �� you actually bear to hurt her? I''ll kill you!"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Kill me, is it? That will have to depend on whether you have that capability or not!"


    A violent aura suddenly unleashed. Ye Yuan''s Slaughter Concept and Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Intent burst forth spectacularly. A swift and fierce sword intent headed straight for Zhou Yan!


    Swish!


    Zhou Yan unleashed the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, but Ye Yuan''s Spirit Extinguishing Azure Cloud Sword was too terrifying, directly blasting apart the Vastsun Flameheart Pupil, slicing off Zhou Yan''s arm.


    "Ahh! Lunatic! You lunatic!" Zhou Yan looked at Ye Yuan and roared.


    But Ye Yuan looked at all this coldly, and said to Yue Mengli indifferently, "Alright, no need to act anymore! Since I''ve already seen through your illusionary art, no matter how pitifully and delicate you act, I won''t be softhearted either. If you don''t believe, I can kill you with one slash!"


    Yue Mengli suffered Ye Yuan''s palm and was originally lying on the ground in unbearable agony.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, she actually slowly stood up, as if she did not suffer any injuries at all!


    While at this time, the Zhou Yan by the side, and the crowd fighting over there, all vanished from sight, as if they had never appeared before!


    All of this was actually really just an illusion!


    "When did you find out?" Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan and said with a gleeful smile.

 964 Matching Magic Powers!

    "Your illusionary arts indeed have no flaws to exploit. But inside the illusion previously, you said to me ''with you around, you won''t let people hurt me.'' If it was the real Li-er, she wouldn''t say so!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The fake Li-er said with a smile, "Looks like it was me who made an unnecessary move."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This illusion, everything is so lifelike. But the greatest flaw is yourself. Because they are all illusionary, while you �� are real!"


    The fake Li-er sighed with admiration as she said, "Being hit with an illusionary art and actually still having such terrifying analytical abilities. You''re indeed different from the rest! Even those two divine kings are much worse compared to you. It''s just that even if you saw through the illusionary art, wanting to break free from inside the illusion can''t be done too."


    Seeing through an illusion and breaking free from inside the illusionary realm, these were two entirely different matters.


    How could an illusionary art capable of making Ye Yuan fall for it be that easy to resolve?


    Truly powerful illusionary arts was to let the martial artist clearly know that they got caught in an illusionary realm but just could not break free.


    In the end, they would still sink inside forever.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to care about this. He just said coolly, "Where did you send Li-er?"


    Although the words were calm, the killing intent revealed was a little short of materializing.


    The fake Li-er said with a faint smile, "Don''t be agitated, she''s very safe. Everyone is safe. But want to meet her, you have got to come out from inside the illusion first. However �� you only have three days! After three days, she''ll probably be staying in Yellow Millet Mountain forever."


    While talking, the fake Li-er''s figure slowly became faint, finally turning into nothing.


    Following her disappearance, this stretch of space became deathly still, making people shiver without being cold.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly. He was ruminating over the meaning in fake Li-er''s words.


    Seemed like everyone who came to Yellow Millet Mountain fell to the illusionary art. If he was unable to break free from the illusionary realm within three days, Li-er would likely sink into the illusion forever, becoming a walking corpse.


    No, wait, there should be one person who had not fallen to the illusionary art!


    Han Tong!


    Han Tong had the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in his hands. This divine artifact subjugated illusions the most. Wanting to make him fall into an illusionary realm was probably even harder than ascending to the heavens!


    Since he dared to head straight for Yellow Millet Mountain, this divine artifact was naturally not randomly brought along.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan felt the pressure mounting. If he did not go out early, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    Also, just who in the world was this that made everyone fall into an illusion?


    Could it be �� the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, just what kind of existence was it?


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, chasing away all the doubts in his head.


    Now was not the time to consider these. The urgent matter on hand was still breaking free of the illusionary realm!


    Ye Yuan also could not figure out just when did he fall for the illusionary art. The rest all fell for the illusionary art previously, only he alone was clear-headed and even used the ''Jie'' character to wake everyone up.


    If the ''Jie'' character could break free from the illusion, then he succumbed to the illusionary art after that. If it could not break the illusion �� could it be that he already succumbed to it before entering Yellow Millet Mountain?


    Dismissing distracting thoughts, Ye Yuan revolved essence energy to the limits and suddenly gave a fierce cry.


    "Jie!"


    The scenery before Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred. The surroundings finally recovered signs of life!


    A bright moon hung above the main peak with indistinct shadows around. There were walking corpses moving about.


    Not far away, Yue Jianfeng stood here, his eyes completely blank. Clearly, he fell for the illusionary art too. But as for the rest, there were no traces to be seen.


    Ye Yuan''s face brightened up. The ''Jie'' character really broke free from the illusionary realm!


    Breaking free of the illusionary realm, Ye Yuan suffered a great loss in vitality too. He hurriedly swallowed a medicinal pill to recover his strength.


    Could not care that much either. Ye Yuan used the ''Jie'' character once more, breaking apart Yue Jianfeng''s illusionary magic.


    Yue Jianfeng''s eyes finally recovered some spirit. Looking at Ye Yuan rather woodenly, he said absent-mindedly, "Y-Ye Yuan, I �� what happened to me?"


    Consecutive usage of the ''Jie'' character, Ye Yuan''s condition was very withered. But he still responded, "You �� got caught in an illusion! Carry me up to the main peak!"


    Yue Jianfeng''s expression turned fearful, and he carried Ye Yuan and dashed up the main peak!


    Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill again, recovering vitality frenziedly.


    The scenery on both sides fell backward crazily, but Ye Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong!


    "Put me down!" Ye Yuan suddenly said solemnly.


    "En? What is it?" Yue Jianfeng was puzzled but still put Ye Yuan down.


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together and he said in a low voice, "No, wait! You''re not Yue Jianfeng! I''m still inside the illusion!"


    "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn''t you just come out from within an illusion? How did you fall into an illusion again?" Yue Jianfeng said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan stared at him and said with a cold smile, "How did you know that I just came out from inside an illusion? Did I �� mention that before?"


    Yue Jianfeng involuntarily froze and argued with sophistry, "D-Didn''t everyone falls into an illusion?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "How do you know that everybody fell into an illusion? Or did you originally already know my encounter inside the illusion?"


    Yue Jianfeng froze, and suddenly laughed in spite of himself and said, "I didn''t expect that you''re actually so alert! You, boy, are indeed rather different. Since that''s the case, then congratulations for successfully cracking it! Oh, forgot to tell you, a day''s time has already passed in the outside world. You''re still left with two days now!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Done talking, Yue Jianfeng''s body disappeared once again.


    Ye Yuan''s face was very grim. He revolved Heart Like Monolith Heart Realm to the limits, forcibly calming down his state of mind.


    This illusionary realm was seriously too terrifying, one ring linked to another. It was totally impossible to guard against!


    Furthermore, that guy''s grasp on the human heart was also extremely strong. He followed Ye Yuan''s thoughts, planning on luring Ye Yuan to sink into deprivation step by step.


    If no accidents occurred, he would definitely still run into others subsequently along the way. Then, Ye Yuan would help them to break free of the illusionary realm one by one.


    The more it was so, the deeper Ye Yuan would sink into it.


    Earlier, during the process when Ye Yuan was recovering vitality, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that it was rather amiss.


    Too smooth!


    The matters seemed to be developing in the direction he predicted.


    He wanted to break free from the illusion. Hence, he broke free. He wanted to save Li-er; as a result, Yue Jianfeng carried him up the main peak.


    Ye Yuan previously said that Yue Mengli was the other party''s greatest flaw. Actually, how was she not Ye Yuan''s greatest weak point too?


    The other party made use of precisely this point, that was how he made Ye Yuan sink deeper and deeper.


    When he thought that he broke free of the illusionary realm, his mind would relax step by step, finally sinking into deprivation forever.


    The other party could concoct countless lies, deceiving Ye Yuan all the way down the road, exactly alike with reality.


    More importantly, delaying this short while, a day''s time actually already passed in the outside world!


    No matter whether what the other party said was true or false, Ye Yuan could not afford to lose!


    Within two days, he must break free of the illusionary realm!


    Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged. He discovered that he still thought too simply of this illusionary realm!


    This was a great taboo inside an illusionary realm.


    Ye Yuan settled down to concentrate, purging all of the distracting thoughts in his head, and pondered about ways to deal with the situation.

 965 Samsara of a Hundred Lifetimes!

    Pondering over and over again, Ye Yuan only had the choice to take the path of increasing his heart realm cultivation!


    But Ye Yuan current heart realm boundary was middle-stage Heart Like Monolith. Even if he reached late-stage, Ye Yuan felt that the chances of breaking free of the illusion were not great either.


    Much less that he had to reach late-stage Heart Like Monolith within two days. That was virtually something impossible.


    Even if he visualized the ''Lin'' character, it was also not possible to have such rapid improvement.


    Ye Yuan racked his mind swiftly. Fine sweat beads started to appear on his forehead. Behind his calm back was tremendous pressure.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his entire person''s imposing momentum was swept away clean.


    The current Ye Yuan looked just like an ordinary person! Without the slightest hint of essence energy undulation. Even Heart Like Monolith heart realm was also utterly released.


    "Since I''m not able to break free of the illusion, then let me sink into it thoroughly!" Ye Yuan slowly said, the scenery before his eyes suddenly changed.


    ...Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    On Yellow Millet Mountain''s main peak was a flat platform.


    Currently on the platform stood full of people everywhere. Each and every one of these people all had their eyes tightly shut, seemingly deep in slumber.


    In the center of the platform, a young and handsome youngster was currently sitting on top of a high platform with his eyes closed.


    Suddenly, he slowly opened both eyes and looked towards a young man in front of him.


    This young man was shockingly the Ye Yuan who got caught in the illusion!


    The current Ye Yuan likewise had both eyes tightly shut, and actually seemed like a puppet!


    Beside Ye Yuan was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man held a mirror in his hand. It was shockingly the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror!


    Han Tong''s entire body was trembling, a look of struggle appeared on his face.


    While Ye Yuan''s face was serene, even carrying some enjoyment.


    The young man on the elevated platform smiled slightly and opened his mouth to say, "This boy is indeed extraordinary, to actually choose to banish himself! Unless one has great fortitude, they cannot achieve this step! It''s just that this way, your chances of survival will also be very bleak! Whether it''s a nirvanic rebirth, or sinking into deprivation forever, this seat will wait to see it!"


    As he said, he turned to the Han Tong beside and said with a cold smile, "Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, it''s truly been ages since we''ve met! Even if this seat is no longer as valiant as back then, a mere Dao Profound Realm wants to make this seat submit just by holding it? Truly laughable! Looks like the host should emerge between these two people! Come on, this seat is very much looking forward to your performances!"


    Finished muttering these to himself, the youth slowly closed his eyes again, an appearance as if everything was within control.


    On the main peak''s platform, Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu, Zhou Boping, Ruan Shuangzhou, and the rest were shockingly present!


    The martial artists who ventured into Yellow Millet Mountain were actually rounded up in one fell swoop by this young man!


    ...


    Ye Yuan thoroughly opened up his mind, and instantly lost himself inside the illusion.


    "Big Brother Yuan, you finally woke up!" Opening his eyes, Yue Mengli''s gentle voice sounded out by his ear.


    Ye Yuan rubbed his head that felt like it was splitting and said, "I �� What happened to me?"


    "You obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, then fell into a slumber all the way until now before waking up! You scared me badly," Yue Mengli said.


    "What? I �� I obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?" Ye Yuan was startled and hurriedly sat up.


    Ye Yuan suddenly opened both eyes. One pupil emitted a dazzling light. A sun actually suspended on the pupil. But on the other pupil, a moon was suspended!


    Ye Yuan suddenly deployed the left eye. It was only to hear a boom, and the entire room was blasted into a pile of debris!


    With this, it attracted a large group of Yue Family experts over. Ye Yuan''s two eyes activating at the same time, a bizarre power spread out. Everyone actually had dull looks in their eyes. Ye Yuan felt like he was actually able to control each person!


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was too powerful!


    Ye Yuan was unbelievably thrilled, but he released the illusionary art, letting everyone recover.


    "Congratulations Big Brother Yuan, with this Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, stepping into Deity Realm in the future might not be an impossibility too!" Yue Mengli gave felicitations.


    "Heh, I don''t dare to think too much about Deity Realm. However �� with this Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, Ji Canglan''s days are numbered!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    In the following days, Ye Yuan immersed in bitter cultivation.


    With the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, his cultivation advanced at a tremendous pace. Only using ten year''s time, he broke through to the Divine King Realm!


    After ten years, Ye Yuan brought along the similarly major accomplishment spirit physique Yue Mengli and charged up the Medicine King Hall.


    The Ye Yuan who possessed the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, his power was incomparably terrifying. Plus a major accomplishment spirit physique Yue Mengli, how could the Medicine King Hall stop their footsteps?


    Finally, after a round of great battle without equal, Ye Yuan killed Ji Canglan with his own hands.


    Avenging his great enmity, Ye Yuan fulfilled his lifelong wish and brought Yue Mengli along to travel the world. Their days spent were merry and carefree.


    Just like that, year after year, no idea how many seasons had passed either, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, the husband and wife couple, became the Divine Realm''s supreme powerhouses.


    Although they did not break through to Deity Realm, the two with their strength, no one dared to provoke them at all.


    But longevity would eventually come to an end. Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli already finally reached the day of passing away in meditation.


    Ye Yuan was thin and emaciated, a far cry from his handsome and suaveness in those days long ago.


    "I, Ye Yuan, having such a wife for a lifetime, what do I still need! This lifetime, we''ve experienced too many bloody slaughters. I hope that in our next life, we can be a pair of ordinary couple!" Ye Yuan looked at Yue Mengli and said with a calm expression.


    Two rows of clear teardrops fell down Yue Mengli''s face as she nodded and said, "As long as Big Brother Yuan is willing, Li-er will definitely accompany lifetime after lifetime!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s and Yue Mengli''s physical bodies started to gradually decay, finally turning into a pile of ashes, and dissipating within the heaven and earth.


    ...


    No idea how many years later, a mortal kingdom''s capital.


    The princess went on an inspection tour, and was taken for a fairy! A young lad in cloth garment fell in love with the princess when he saw the princess''s stunning looks.


    However, all the way until the day he died, the lad in cloth garment never saw the princess a second time again.


    "If there''s a next life, I must become a powerhouse that can hold up the heavens, and marry the princess!" the lad in cloth garment said before passing away.


    ...


    Another lifetime, Ye Yuan and a wealthy family''s young lady fell for each other and secretly pledged their love for life.


    Ye Yuan was looked down upon by this family, so he joined the army resolutely.


    Several years later, Ye Yuan returned in success and wanted to marry the young lady. Alas, fate made a mockery of men. The young lady actually killed herself because she was forced by her elders.


    Ye Yuan came before the young lady''s grave, drew his sword, and cut his throat, committing suicide for love!


    ...


    In a blink of an eye, a hundred lifetimes already passed. Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli incarnated into different identities and unfolded a series of love and hate entanglement, which lasted a hundred lifetimes.


    After a hundred lifetimes, Ye Yuan already completely lost himself.


    He lived in his own world, at times becoming a powerhouse, sometimes being reduced to a mortal. But no matter what, he wanted to go and find that girl in his dreams!


    This obsession had never changed no matter what kind of person he was born as.


    The young man on the elevated platform looked at Ye Yuan, but his brows furrowed: "Divine soul has clearly already become faint long ago, but he''s still able to maintain a final trace of clarity and not be extinguished! What in the world did this boy do?"

 966 Heaven Man Unity!

    At the peak of a mountain, a swordsman stood in the air hugging his sword. Opposite him was an exceedingly beautiful woman.


    "Must we contend for superiority between you and me?" the man said.


    "In this world, only you and I can be rivals. But in these 20 years, you and I have exchanged blows 19 times. Every time it was my defeat! If I don''t beat you in this life, what''s the point of me living still?" the lady said.


    The man heaved a sigh and said, "Take a step back, and it''s endless blue skies! In this world, other than victory and defeat, there are still many things."


    The lady said with a cold smile, "Killing you, I''ll have everything! Make your move!"


    The man sighed slightly and said, "Fine then, make a move!"


    The woman''s face turned cold and said, "You''re not even drawing your sword?"


    "Huhu, even if I don''t draw my sword, you''re not my match either!"


    "Wild arrogance! Watch out for my sword!"


    The woman gave a cold cry, brandished her sword like a rainbow cutting across the sky, and charged in front of the man.


    Puchi ��


    The longsword did not have the slightest sluggishness, directly piercing through the man''s chest.


    "You �� Why didn''t you draw your sword? What''s the point in winning you like this?" the woman lashed. But two rows of clear tears flowed down disappointingly.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The man smiled, smiling very happily. "The first time I saw you, I already fell for you. Although it was the first meeting, I felt like we''ve already known each other for very, very long. But in your eyes, there is only the martial path! Hence, I trained in the sword desperately, trained like I went mad, all for the sake of letting you look at me. Huhu, I did it!"


    The woman suddenly discovered that her heart was so painful! Turns out that she actually already fell deeply in love with his man unknowingly.


    The woman could not bear it anymore. Tears gushed out. "Why? Since you like me, why didn''t you dodge this sword?"


    The man smiled and said, "Because I discovered that the more I trained in the sword, the more confused I became. The more powerful my sword got, the more and more I can''t find myself. This is a samsara, an endless samsara. Competing like this, it''s forever impossible for you to know my heart! I want to find myself, therefore �� sorry."


    "I don''t want an apology! I �� I only want you to live! Sniff, sniff ��"


    The man lightly caressed the woman''s face. With a look of satisfaction, he said with a light smile, "You''re still so beautiful when you cry! You �� are Li-er, but �� who am I?"


    Right at this time, a figure slowly walked out from within the void and came before the swordsman. The swordsman actually looked exactly the same as this person.


    "Who �� are you?" the swordsman asked.


    "I am you, or should I say, I''m your last ray of hope! You reincarnated a hundred lifetimes and experienced all manners of hardships in the human world. The love and hate entanglement with Li-er also passed through time. Now, I''ll take back all of these hundred lifetimes of samsara. If I''m still unable to break through, you and I will sink into deprivation for all of eternity! Are you ready?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    But the swordsman''s gaze looked towards Li-er as he said, "Then Li-er she ��"


    "Li-er and our divine souls have long become inseparable already. Therefore, even if it''s reincarnating a hundred lifetimes, she is also a most important part of our lives! Don''t worry, as long as we can accomplish it, Li-er will naturally be safe and sound," Ye Yuan said.


    The swordsman slowly nodded his head, gave a smile, and turned into a cloud of green smoke, entering inside Ye Yuan''s body.


    ...


    The youth on the elevated platform suddenly snapped open his eyes. Looking at Ye Yuan''s gradually extinguishing divine soul, he sighed and said, "Indeed still didn''t pull through? Looks like there''s only a final choice remaining."


    Done talking, his gaze looked towards Han Tong.


    Right then, the young man''s expression changed, and he looked at Ye Yuan strangely.


    His divine soul was already on the verge of the final extinguishing state. At this time, it actually rebounded fiercely!


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul became increasing stronger. His aura also became stronger and stronger!


    "Hiss �� Heaven Man Unity! He actually did it! Truly a genius without parallel!" the young man said with an exclamation.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan entered a very profound state.


    The current Ye Yuan gave people an extremely unreal feeling. He was clearly standing right there, but his entire person seemingly already fused into one body with heaven and earth!


    At this moment, it was as if Ye Yuan had incarnated to become all of creation in heaven and earth.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s aura abruptly soared. Violent essence energy closed in over here from all directions!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm breakthrough was achieved without effort, reaching Third Level Phaseless in a blink of an eye.


    Following that, heavenly tribulation arrived. Transcending the heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan broke through to Fourth Level Phaseless once more!


    Finally, everything settled down. Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. A pair of deep eyes, seemingly able to see through everything in this world.


    "A hundred lifetimes of samsara, washing away the guise of the secular. What it refined was the human heart; what I saw, was the origin of the Great Dao! Heaven Man Unity. So that''s how it is! Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is known to be able to turn all of creation in the world into illusions. Indeed worthy of its reputation! It''s just that the world probably never would have thought that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil has long attained Dao already, cultivating into a primordial spirit!" Ye Yuan looked at the young man and said slowly.


    Ye Yuan maintained his final trace of soulfire from extinguishing with a secret art, making himself sink into the illusionary realm''s samsara. This was harboring the attitude of to win or to die trying.


    If there was even a tiny bit of mishap, Ye Yuan would never be able to wake up again.


    However, experiencing a hundred lifetimes of samsara, Ye Yuan''s heart realm was tempered little by little, becoming incomparably powerful.


    Although this illusion was powerful, it also strengthened and tempered Ye Yuan.


    The young man looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise as if he was admiring a piece of art.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Enjoy the might of the flame explosion properly. I won''t accompany you!"


    "Fine lad, you really surprised me! That guy is relying on the advantage of a divine artifact before barely managing to be able to contend with my Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm. But you actually relied on your own comprehension abilities and broke through to Heaven Man Unity realm, breaking free of the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm. Truly too remarkable! For 100 thousand years, you''re the first person to be able to do it to this step! Boy, you should feel honored!" the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said, rather excitedly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Very sorry, I don''t feel honored at all. What I''m going to do now is to kill you!"


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil smiled faintly and said, "Kill me and your woman will be lost inside the illusionary realm forever. Not everyone can be like you, comprehending Heaven Man Unity!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said coldly, "What conditions do you have?"


    His ''Jie'' character''s level of attainment was far from enough and was totally unable to help Yue Mengli they all escape the illusionary realm.


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil smiled and said, "That''s more like it! My conditions are very simple, either you die, or he dies. Choose one yourself!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said, "You chose me to be a host? Looks like you finally can''t stand the loneliness and want to get out of the Vastsun bright Moon Realm!"


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Those old undyings thought that by sealing me here, I''ll have no way of getting out! They probably never would have thought that the Divine Realm would enter an age of declining laws, Divine Dao dropping to zero! Without Deity Realm powerhouses, who can tie me up to be used by others? As long as I find a suitable host, with how vast the Divine Realm is, I alone reign supreme! Heaven has eyes, delivering you in front of me!"

 967 Initiative Changing Hands!

    Only then did Ye Yuan know that the Zhou and Yue two families'' forefathers who obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil before had probably long realized that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had problems.


    Therefore, before they passed on, they set up this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, using it to seal the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil.


    It was just that they also did not expect the arrival of an age of declining laws, making everything changed.


    Without Deity Realm powerhouses, no one was able to harness the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil anymore. In the course of time, it birthed a primordial spirit on its own and cultivated to an exceedingly high realm.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s terrifying ocular arts, even divine king powerhouses did not have the strength to resist!


    Ye Yuan''s face was grim as he asked, "For 100 thousand years, who knows how many experts had come here. Why did you choose me?"


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil smiled lightly and said, "Heh, although their cultivation realms were higher than yours, their heart realm was far inferior compared to you! Without an exceptional high heart realm, there''s simply no way of withstanding my powerful ocular powers! Wait until I wipe away your consciousness, adding on my ocular arts, the Divine Realm will be our world in the future!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had cultivated for God knows how many tens of thousands of years here. His strength was unfathomable.


    Even if he did not reach the Deity Realm, his ocular arts had probably already achieved perfection.


    What he lacked was just a set of fleshly body suitable for him.


    Accurately speaking, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil seeking out a host was different from the ordinary seizing of possession. He only wanted to wipe away the martial artist''s original consciousness, while the other abilities could be preserved perfectly.


    Cultivation realm could be cultivated if lacking, but the cultivation of heart realm was far too difficult. Hence, that was why he did not make a move all along, all the way until Ye Yuan''s appearance.


    "If I say no?" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil did not reveal a surprised look. He just said with a faint smile, "You will agree! Because apart from me, nobody can undo her illusionary magic!"


    His gaze looked over towards Yue Mengli, his face revealing a smug smile.


    Ye Yuan fell silent, a look of struggle appeared on his face.


    "You don''t have much time. You really greatly surprised me by being able to break through to Heaven Man Unity within two days. However, that little girl is only left with at most four hours. Once the time is up, even I will be powerless to do anything too," Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said with a smile that was not a smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "Unless you swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, otherwise, why should I believe you?"


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said with a faint smile, "I won''t swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. As for whether you believe or not, that''s your problem, nothing to do with me. But I think that it seems you can only choose to believe me."


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil seemed to savor this feeling of kneading other people very much, an expression of walking on air surfaced on his face. He just quietly awaited Ye Yuan''s choice and did not urge.


    Finally, Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and looked at the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil as he said, "Hope that you keep your word. Come on!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan utterly opened up his mind, seemingly already resigned himself to fate.


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil smiled and said, "Haha, he who understands the times is a wise man. Don''t worry, I''ll help her release the illusionary magic."


    He naturally would not tell Ye Yuan that once these people thoroughly immersed in the illusionary realm, they would become his slave, being manipulated at his will.


    Releasing Yue Mengli? That was impossible!


    On this Yellow Millet Mountain, just the divine king powerhouses were numerous. Once such a force got out, it would probably become the ninth super holy land immediately!


    Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil gave a light chuckle and transformed into a stream of flowing light, and entered inside Ye Yuan''s body all at once.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, instantly feeling that his two eyes swelled incomparably, seemingly on the verge of exploding.


    "Heh, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is matchlessly tyrannical, it''s not that easy to endure! Now, allow me to lead this body �� Argh �� Damn it, Soul Suppressing Pearl! How could you have the Soul Suppressing Pearl this sort of thing!" Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil suddenly cried out miserably.


    Just as he was going to wipe away Ye Yuan''s consciousness, a stream of gloomy light probed out from inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil sensed a terrifying power. This power was plenty to utterly obliterate him.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s divine soul suddenly blocked in front of him. That ghostly light seemed to have intelligence, and actually directly withdrew back into the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was still suffering from the shock, his face seized with fear and trepidation. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with a frightened look.


    He had long predicted that Ye Yuan definitely would not give in so obediently. It was just that he never thought that Ye Yuan''s trump card was actually the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    His primordial spirit body was similarly divine soul in nature. For the Soul Suppressing Pearl to want to exterminate him just now was merely an effortless matter.


    "I didn''t think that you''re familiar with the Soul Suppressing Pearl too. Then it''s easy to handle. Now, we can have a proper chat, right?" Ye Yuan looked at the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil with a smile that was not a smile and said.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression changed, and he said, "You �� How can you possibly have the Soul Suppressing Pearl, this kind of thing?!"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Just casually picked it up. That''s not the main point. The main thing is, when are you planning on undoing Li-er''s illusionary magic?"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression changed, and he said, "You let me go first, then we talk again! Otherwise, I won''t undo the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm!"


    Not that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil did not wish to go out, but that he entered Ye Yuan''s body and already reconstructed Ye Yuan''s two eyes, and produced a bond with Ye Yuan''s body.


    If he succeeded in taking possession, everything naturally could be discussed.


    But now, as long as Ye Yuan did not take the initiative to release this bond, his primordial spirit would be bounded up inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, unable to break free!


    The current Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had reached the point of being caught between the devil and the deep sea.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl around, his taking of possession was something totally impossible. But wanting to escape Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness needed Ye Yuan''s approval.


    With this, the initiative completely landed in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s sole chip right now was Yue Mengli.


    "Heh, do you really take me to be a fool? I''m giving you one last chance, if you don''t agree, I''ll make the Soul Suppressing Pearl wipe away your consciousness and let you return to origin! It is a little troublesome, but at that time, your 100 thousand over years of cultivation will be ruined overnight!" Ye Yuan sputtered nonsense.


    He was unable to mobilize the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil at all. He was just swindling the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, that was all.


    But Ye Yuan guessed that the Soul Suppressing Pearl had extremely powerful abilities regarding divine souls. Presumably, wiping away consciousness this sort of thing was not a difficult thing to it.


    Indeed, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression changed and he said solemnly, "If that''s the case, that little girlie is dead for sure too!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "There''s still four hour''s time. I think it''s sufficient for me to inherit the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil."


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all.


    Right now, the initiative was completely in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Right at this time, Han Tong''s eyes suddenly snapped open, and he plopped down on the ground, his entire person perspiring profusely as if he had a great illness.


    Huff huff ��


    Han Tong gasped for air heavily but suddenly jolted, being struck dumb with amazement by the scene in the surroundings.


    Looking towards Ye Yuan again, he actually discovered that Ye Yuan''s two eyes were bleeding, and his expression involuntarily changed drastically!


    "This boy obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? This �� How is this possible?" Han Tong said in disbelief.

 968 Divine Artifact Great Battle!

    "Looks like you expended considerable effort because of reconstructing my two eyes. That''s how it allowed Han Tong to break free of the illusionary realm!" Ye Yuan looked at the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil helplessly and said.


    In this place, the only one who could contend with the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was Han Tong who wielded the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    But earlier, in order to reconstruct Ye Yuan''s two eyes, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil needed to expend a huge amount of effort. This also let the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm loosen up somewhat.


    Han Tong finally made use of this opportunity and broke through the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm in one stroke, returning to reality.


    When the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil saw Han Tong break free of the illusionary realm, he was not startled. He rejoiced instead and said to Ye Yuan, "Boy, release me. I''ll deal with him on your behalf!"


    Ye Yuan shot him a scornful glance and said, "Give it up! You''d better carefully think things through and release Li-er! When I dispose of Han Tong, if you still haven''t made a decision, I don''t mind blotting you out!"


    Talking to the back, Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression turned fearful, and he hurriedly said, "He has a divine artifact in his hands, there''s no way you''re his match!


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "Just a divine artifact only, and you said it like I don''t have one! You just wait here obediently. The power of the Soul Suppressing Pearl, I believe you''re also aware without the need for me to expound. If you seek death yourself, then it can''t be blamed on me."


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil could not help being speechless. A divine artifact �� only?


    Could what this brat be talking about the Soul Suppressing Pearl? But with this boy''s present strength, he was completely unable to utilize the Soul Suppressing Pearl, alright?


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Rays of brilliance shot out from his eyes.


    Han Tong was currently staring at Ye Yuan''s eyes and looking. When Ye Yuan opened his eyes, it actually sent him into a trance.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    He hurriedly turned his head over, not daring to look at Ye Yuan''s eyes anymore.


    This boy definitely acquired the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil!


    Ye Yuan lightly wiped away the two rows of blood tears. Looking at this world again, it seemed to have become different.


    The first thing he did was put Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu they all away inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. As for the life and death of the others, it had nothing to do with him.


    "Boy, was the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil taken by you?" Han Tong said with a somber look.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "So what if yes?"


    "Humph, so what? Hand over the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, this seat will spare you from death!" Han Tong said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said disdainfully, "F*ck your bullshit! I want you to give me the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, will you give or not?"


    Han Tong''s face turned black, and he said in a deep voice, "Boy, do you think that you have the qualifications to pick a fight with me? The pagoda in your hands is merely a quasi-divine artifact. If you really exchange blows with me, whether or not that pagoda of yours can be preserved is an uncertainty!"


    "Tch, just a divine artifact, what''s there to be cocky about? You don''t think that there is only the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, this one divine artifact, in this whole world, right?" Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look and slowly took out the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Han Tong originally had a look of contempt. If one was not haughty holding a divine artifact, then what else was there to be haughty over?


    Prior to this, divine artifacts had never appeared before in the Divine Realm, alright?


    But that instant when Ye Yuan took out the Sacred Dragon Token, Han Tong''s pupils constricted, his eyes filled with a look of astoundment!


    Although he did not recognize the Sacred Dragon Token, the undulations coming off of the Sacred Dragon Token was not any weaker than the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    No, wait, it should be that it was even stronger compared to the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror!


    Similarly divine artifacts, the Sacred Dragon Token was the dragon clan''s paramount divine artifact. Its might was unimaginable.


    "You �� You actually have a divine artifact too! This �� How is this possible? You have a quasi-divine artifact in possession, and actually still have a divine artifact! You �� You ��"


    Han Tong broke down. This boy''s fortuitous encounters were also too scary, right?


    These two items, casually taking out one could shake the Divine Realm. But this brat actually drew two the moment he made his move!


    However, Han Tong''s shock was far from comparable to the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Because the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil recognized the Sacred Dragon Token!


    The Sacred Dragon Token was the dragon clan''s supreme treasure. Along with the dragon clan''s clan leader''s disappearance, there was already no more news. However, over 100 thousand years had passed, the Sacred Dragon Token actually saw the light of day once again!


    "Who on earth is this boy? Sacred Dragon Token, Soul Suppressing Pearl, any one of these is and item that can make the Divine Realm tremble. They are actually all in his hands!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s astonishment could not be any greater. These two items, as long as one obtained an article, it was already sufficient to enjoy a lifetime. But this boy actually acquired two all at once.


    No, wait, Han Tong said earlier that this boy still had a quasi-divine artifact.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil suddenly felt that this world was too crazy!


    Hang on, it was he who was too crazy, to actually find such a person to be a host. Wasn''t this complaining that his lifespan was too long, and he was tired of living?


    The current Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, other than anguish, it was still anguish. One truly could not find an adjective to describe his current emotions.


    Finally managed to cultivate into a primordial spirit and thought that he could come roaring into existence. In the end, he screwed himself to death before even stepping out of the door.


    Ye Yuan looked at Han Tong and said smilingly, "You what you? You joker! Could it be that only you''re allowed to have a divine artifact, other people aren''t allowed to have divine artifacts? Just a divine artifact, is there a need to kick up a fuss over nothing?"


    "Just a �� divine artifact? You, boy, are truly too arrogant!" Han Tong said with a somber face.


    Ye Yuan''s words sounded arrogant, but actually, he really had the capital to say so.


    Putting aside the Soul Suppressing Pearl, the Vast Heaven Stele inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda was the truly formidable item.


    Although he did not know what grade of a treasure it was, it was definitely more impressive than ordinary divine artifacts.


    Han Tong''s gaze suddenly revealed a look of extreme greed and said, "Heh, brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Since you came to deliver a divine artifact to this seat, this seat will kindly accept it!"


    Han Tong suddenly raised the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror. A ray of dazzling light instantly shot out. A terrifying power made the entire main peak quake.


    Ye Yuan chuckled coldly and also injected divine essence into the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Rumble!


    Two terrifying attacks abruptly collided, giving off a dazzling light!


    Waves of energy rippled out, directly leveling the main peak to flat ground. The entire main peak forcefully had a large chuck shaved away.


    Those martial artists who were still inside the illusionary realm were directly sent flying by the enormous blast wind. The weak ones were even directly blasted to death.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan was also sent flying immediately by this massive impact force, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.


    Han Tong was not much better either. He also did not think that the divine artifact in Ye Yuan''s hands was actually so formidable. But his own strength was immense. Even though he was sent flying, his injuries were not as severe as Ye Yuan''s.


    "You �� You actually have divine essence!"


    Obtaining a divine artifact was one thing, whether or not one could activate a divine artifact was another thing.


    A divine artifact was unable to be deployed by essence energy. Even when mobilized, the power unleashed was also very limited.


    Only by using divine essence could one unleash the power of a divine artifact to the greatest degree.


    Ye Yuan was actually able to unleash such terrifying power. It showed that he definitely had divine essence!


    He was only able to deploy the divine artifact because he had the hall master''s bestowal. Then Ye Yuan''s divine essence, where did it come from?


    This boy was truly divulging mystery from head to toe!

 969 Merging with Heaven and Earth!

    The level of difficulty of finding divine essence was not the slightest bit less than finding a divine artifact.


    Following the disappearance of Divine Dao, divine essence this sort of thing already became lesser and lesser in the Divine Realm.


    One could say it decreased with each use.


    Only inside the grotto left behind by Deity Realm powerhouses could one find divine essence this sort of thing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    These divine essences were all energy that Deity Realm powerhouses used to maintain the operation of the grotto. Along with the passing of time, divine essence would get lesser and lesser too.


    Furthermore, the grotto of Deity Realm powerhouses, the degree of danger went without saying.


    Even if divine king powerhouses entered, it was also nine chances to die, and one chance to live!


    The strength of Deity Realm powerhouses was completely not what Dao Profound Realm could try to fathom.


    With Ye Yuan''s current cultivation realm, there was no way to obtain divine essence at all.


    But Ye Yuan just had divine essence!


    With divine essence, the cultivation realm gap between him and Ye Yuan could basically be ignored.


    What they were contending right now was their respective divine artifact.


    "Heh, divine essence is it? I have plenty of this thing. Right now, are you scramming yourself, or are you letting me teach you a good lesson?" Ye Yuan said with a snicker.


    Han Tong''s face turned black, and he said, "Humph! Even if you have divine essence, how much can you have? I don''t believe that your divine essence can sustain several divine artifact attacks! Want to use this sort of method to scare me away, too childish!"


    "Haha, scare you away is it? Open your dog eyes wide and watch!"


    Ye Yuan did not say another word. Injecting divine essence into the Sacred Dragon Token once more, a terrifying attack was unleashed a second time.


    Han Tong''s expression changed, and he could only meet the attack passively.


    Rumble!


    Another loud bang. The main peak had a large section shaved off by these two terrifying attacks once again.


    For some time, scattered rocks flew everywhere.


    Ye Yuan was blasted flying once more, but his fleshy body was incomparably powerful. Circulating the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, he deployed the Sacred Dragon Token again and unleashed an attack.


    Only a fleshy body like Ye Yuan''s could withstand such a heavy load. If it were others, deploying a divine artifact so crazily, they would be crushed to death by the divine artifact''s pressure first.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Again and again, Ye Yuan''s divine essence seemed to be picked up for free, deploying the Sacred Dragon Token crazily.


    Han Tong cried bitterness in his heart!


    At this point, how would he still doubt Ye Yuan?


    How could this guy have so much divine essence?


    Several powerful attacks in, Han Tong also suffered considerable internal injuries. Even more damnable was that competing in divine essence so crazily, he already did not have much left!


    While Ye Yuan''s divine essence seemed to be inexhaustible; could not be used finish at all.


    This way of usage made people too freaking jealous!


    One should not look at how Han Tong took out the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror at the slightest provocation to scare people. The times where he truly utilized divine essence were not many.


    Divine essence this sort of thing, even the hall master did not have much either. What was bestowed to him naturally would not be much either?


    But this Ye Yuan was just like a prodigal son squandering the family fortune, not taking divine essence seriously at all.


    "Stop! Quickly stop! I �� I concede!"


    Taking advantage of the interval Ye Yuan adjusted his breathing, Han Tong was finally defeated in battle and opened his mouth to admit defeat.


    However, Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "You fight when you want, and throw in the towel when you want to admit defeat. Who gave you this authority? When we stop is up to me! Again!"


    Finished regulating his breathing, Ye Yuan deployed divine essence once more and smashed over towards Han Tong.


    The divine essence Fang Tian left behind was really quite a bit. This bout of indiscriminate bombing merely depleted one-thousandth of the divine essence.


    The current Ye Yuan was a living prodigal son, using the incomparably precious divine essence out of spite.


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s true objective was naturally not acting out of spite, but he wanted to try if he could finish Han Tong off!


    Spending some divine essence and obtaining the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror was still very worthwhile.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Several more clashes again. Ye Yuan did not give Han Tong any chances to catch his breath at all, unleashing attacks desperately.


    Han Tong''s face was deathly pale. This was caused by an excessive loss of blood.


    Clashing again and again, his body already almost could not endure it anymore. He really could not understand how Ye Yuan kept it up.


    At this time, the main peak which originally towered into the clouds actually had half of its height shaved away already.


    These two people''s divine artifact battle was seriously too frightening.


    No way, can''t carry on fighting! There''s already not much divine essence left. Continuing to fight is seeking death. This punk is really too difficult to tangle with, got to think of a way to get away! Han Tong thought to himself.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s attack arrived again. Han Tong forcefully held back the impulse to vomit blood and injected divine essence into the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror once more to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Han Tong was blasted out by the recoil force again. His vital energy and blood churned, feeling like his internal organs were almost churning out!


    But this time, Han Tong forcefully suppressed his internal organs'' injuries. All of a sudden, a blood light shone resplendently. He was actually fleeing towards the distance with extremely swift speed.


    Han Tong''s speed was inconceivably fast. He was actually much faster compared to ordinary middle-stage Dao Profound Realm experts.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he did not reveal a surprised look. He just smiled coldly and said, "Want to escape? That will also have to depend on whether or not you have this capability!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished from where he was.


    Han Tong used a secret art. His movement technique surged, and he was currently running with his tail between his legs. All of a sudden, there was a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan''s figure actually already arrived in front of him at who knows when!


    Han Tong was alarmed inwardly and forcefully twisted his body, escaping in another direction.


    Ye Yuan took a step out once more and vanished from where he was at.


    Han Tong was currently escaping when Ye Yuan actually ran in front of him again.


    This time, he finally knew that he could not escape anymore!


    "You �� You''re actually able to merge with heaven and earth! This �� How is this possible? Ah! You �� You comprehended Heaven Man Unity?" Han Tong suddenly thought of something, his expression changing drastically as he said.


    At this time, his eyes showed an expression of despair.


    If Ye Yuan comprehended Heaven Man Unity, then he had absolutely no chance of survival today!


    But how could this brat possibly comprehend the Heaven Man Unity Realm?


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "At least you have some knowledge. That''s right, this young master just comprehended Heaven Man Unity not long ago. Are you sticking your neck out for the executioner''s blade? Or making a final struggle?"


    Getting a definite answer, Han Tong''s eyes revealed a look of despair.


    He gritted his teeth and suddenly deployed the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, rumbling over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was long prepared. The Sacred Dragon Token activated at virtually the same time, smashing over at Han Tong.


    Rumble!


    The two people were blasted flying once more. But Ye Yuan did not stop in the slightest. This time, without even adjusting his breathing, he deployed the Sacred Dragon Token once again and smashed towards Han Tong.


    However, Han Tong''s divine essence was already thoroughly expended cleanly during that time just now!


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic cry transmitted over. Han Tong directly turned to nothing under the bombardment of the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Bang!


    The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror fell from the sky and dropped onto the ground.


    But Ye Yuan did not care about it. His consciousness sunk into his sea of consciousness once more and said to the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil coldly, "How is it? Thought it through yet? This is the last time I''m asking you!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression changed. That great battle just now, he took it into his sights in its entirety and had a deeper understanding towards Ye Yuan''s might.

 970 Escaping Through the Void

    "Alright, I''ll help them undo the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm!"


    Although extremely unwilling, the current situation already did not allow the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to carry on biting the bullet.


    Compared to 100 thousand over years of cultivation being reduced to nothing, undoing the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm did not seem to be much.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil also perceived that Ye Yuan seemed to have the intention of sparing his life. Looks like he wanted to obtain something from him.


    In the days to come, think of ways to dance around with Ye Yuan would do.


    Ye Yuan released Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu, and the rest. The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said, "I''ve already fused into becoming one with you. Casting the spell requires borrowing your pair of eyes!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and handed control of his pair of eyes to the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil.


    This current sort of situation, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was already assimilating inside Ye Yuan''s body. It was just that the authority to pilot was entirely Ye Yuan''s.


    As long as Ye Yuan was not willing, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was not able to utilize his pair of eyes at all.


    Ye Yuan only felt his two eyes heat up. A strange power flowed out from within his two eyes. Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu and the rest suddenly startled awake.


    "Big Brother Yuan, I even thought that �� I''d never see you again! This illusionary art is so formidable. I clearly know that I got caught in an illusionary realm, but I wasn''t able to break free."


    Even with Yue Mengli''s composure, she was also filled with lingering fear after almost being caught in the illusionary realm forever.


    Yue Lingyu was similarly still badly shaken. She did not think that with her strength, she would also be caught inside the illusionary realm so easily.


    Ye Yuan lightly embraced Yue Mengli and consoled, "Alright, everything is over. With Big Brother Yuan around, it will be fine."


    Yue Mengli nodded her head but hugged Ye Yuan even tighter.


    "Ye Yuan, w-was it you who saved us?" Yue Lingyu said rather hesitantly.


    Although she already had an answer in her heart, she still felt that it was inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan only had Phaseless Realm strength but was the only clear-headed one among them. This was too bizarre.


    Furthermore, Yue Lingyu discovered that Ye Yuan actually already broke through to middle-stage Phaseless Realm at who knows when!


    They all, these Divine King experts, were all neck-deep in trouble, but Ye Yuan obtained a lucky chance here, breaking through two minor realms consecutively. This was simply inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Could it be that there are still other people here?"


    Yue Lingyu drew a deep breath and asked again, "The one who made us fall into the illusionary realm should be the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, right? Now that we woke up, could it be ��"


    When asking this question, Yue Lingyu could not help having the jitters.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil which had not come into being for 100 thousand years, could it have been obtained by Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak and had an inscrutable look.


    Yue Lingyu could not help choking up, also aware that she was rather rash. This sort of thing, nobody would easily admit it.


    Ye Yuan did not say, Yue Lingyu could not very well press too hard either.


    Some things, when pointed out, would affect the situation as a whole instead.


    The Zhou and Yue two families viewed the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm as their private property. Once they knew that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was obtained by Ye Yuan, it probably would not end well.


    At that time, it probably could not dispense with a bloody storm.


    Putting aside the Yue Family''s and Ye Yuan''s relationship, once they lost all decorum, the one who would be hurt the deepest would definitely be Yue Mengli.


    Even if the Yue Family obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil in the end, a war between the Yue Family and Zhou Family was likely unavoidable as well.


    At that time, it would probably be hard for these two great Rank One Holy Lands to maintain their present glory.


    In comparison, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil being placed with Ye Yuan seemed to be a better option.


    At least, with his relationship with Li-er, he would definitely stand on the Yue Family''s side.


    In an instant, Yue Lingyu''s mind flashed like lightning and thought of a great deal of things. She still decided to bury this secret at the bottom of her heart.


    "Oh, right, where''s that Han Tong?" Yue Mengli suddenly said.


    Hearing this, Yue Lingyu could not help secretly sighing in her heart. Indeed, women leaned outward. Yue Mengli was deliberately changing the topic here. She was clearly leaning towards Ye Yuan.


    But the moment she thought of Yue Mengli, Yue Lingyu was still greatly gratified in her heart.


    The Innate Battle Soul Physique might not be inferior to the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil! If she could cultivate to major accomplishment, she would likewise be the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most expert.


    Seemed like this was the best conclusion.


    "Han Tong is already dead. His Spirithorn Shattering Mirror is over there. I''ll go to take and then bring it over," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yue Lingyu was startled inwardly. Han Tong cracked her Mountain & River State Painting with one blow when he wielded the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    But now, he was actually dead!


    Who killed him? Could it be �� Ye Yuan?


    Seemed like apart from this, there were no other possibilities!


    Just how on earth did this boy accomplish it?


    Yue Lingyu discovered that she could not see through Ye Yuan more and more. This boy was too shrouded in mystery.


    Ye Yuan picked up the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror and started playing with it in his hands.


    Right at this time, a terrifying aura transmitted out from the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he flung the mirror out. At the same time, he took out the Heavenly King Bell without the slightest hesitation.


    Rumble!


    A terrifying energy slammed onto the Heavenly King Bell, directly blasting Ye Yuan out.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Ye Yuan immediately spewed out a large mouthful of blood, already sustaining very serious injuries.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    While the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror actually took advantage of this time and shattered the void, and escaped immediately.


    Yue Mengli was taken aback by this unexpected change and hurriedly went forward to support Yue Mengli, and said worriedly, "Big Brother Yuan, are �� you alright?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said weakly, "I didn''t expect that there was actually still such a powerful restrictive force on this Spirithorn Shattering Mirror! Looks like its true owner''s strength is unfathomable! I''m rather curious now, just what kind of existence is this Divine Martial Hall? Also, what is their objective!"


    Since Lin Chao appeared within the Divine Martial Hall, this faction, then the Endless World''s matters definitely could not get away from them.


    Now, they came to have designs on the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil again.


    Seems like they were planning some major moves.


    An hour later, Ye Yuan finished recuperating and finally recovered some essence energy.


    The few people were currently walking when they suddenly discovered some people.


    Ruan Shuangzhou, Zhou Boping, Zhou Yan, and the rest were all scattered at the foot of the main peak.


    Falling down from the top of the main peak was nothing much to them. But the tremors of the divine artifact great battle previously made them suffer considerable injuries.


    It was just that currently, they could not feel the pain on their bodies at all, because they were still inside the illusionary realm.


    "They actually haven''t died yet! Their lives are really tenacious!" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    He even thought that these few people were dead for sure.So he did not expect that their bodies actually still had an aura of living.


    Where the aftershocks of a divine artifact battle could be sent to, nobody could control it either. A single mishap and it was the outcome of having one''s body pounded to pieces and bones ground to powder.


    But these few people''s lives were actually so tenacious.


    "Ye Yuan, Zhou Boping had also put forth considerable effort this time. Could you �� save him?" Yue Lingyu suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan did not reply right away, but looked at Yue Mengli and asked, "Li-er, what''s your opinion?"

 971 Discussing Countermeasures

    "Li-er will listen to Big Brother Yuan!"


    Yue Mengli was a very clever girl. She threw the problem back to Ye Yuan like practicing Taifor visiting.


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan could not be provoked!


    The prowess of the illusionary realm, Zhou Boping had experienced it profoundly. The reason why they were able to wake up was likely related to Ye Yuan too.


    Zhou Yan capitalized on that he was a genius and looked down on Ye Yuan. But the current Ye Yuan could pinch Zhou Yan to death with one hand!


    At least inside this Vastsun Bright Moon Realm, they could not make a move.


    Zhou Boping''s and Zhou Yan''s wounds were both very severe, while Yue Lingyu was perfectly unscathed. If they really made a move, the outcome could be imagined.


    After exiting the mystic realm, he would naturally inform Zhou Jia about this incident. What decision to make would probably need the divine king elders to come out and discuss together.


    ...


    Returning to the Yue Family, Ye Yuan immediately chose to enter closed-seclusion. But the Yue Family''s seven divine king elders plus the current family head, Yue Jianqiu, carried out a meeting that very night.


    These divine king elders all lived secluded lives and had little contact with the world, and had already not appeared in public for a very long time.


    But the impact of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm''s incident this time to the Yue Family was too great. Yue Jianqiu had no choice but to invite them out.


    Yue Lingyu gave a detailed account of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm trip this time to everyone.


    But the matters of Yellow Millet Mountain, she did not speak in detail.


    Not that she did not want to say, but she also did not know herself.


    Starting from when she got caught in the illusionary realm to waking up in the end, what happened in this period of time, only Ye Yuan alone knew.


    Of course, she also had the intention of helping Ye Yuan conceal it. Many details, she did not say it out.


    Originally, she was planning on helping Ye Yuan conceal this incident. But since Ye Yuan agreed to save Zhou Boping pair, this matter could not be hidden at all.


    Although Zhou Boping did not know what happened, he definitely faintly had some surmises regarding Ye Yuan.


    Even though these guesses did not have any basis, this sort of thing, the Zhou Family would probably rather kill a thousand innocent than to let one off as well.


    "Various elders, all state your views then! Towards Ye Yuan, what kind of attitude should our Yue Family have?" Yue Jianqiu said solemnly.


    Truthfully speaking, he himself also could not get a handle on it right now. This Ye Yuan was too mysterious. He could not figure out Ye Yuan''s background at all.


    If Ye Yuan really acquired the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, he would definitely be extremely unwilling.


    "What kind of attitude can there be? This boy very likely obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Hand it over, and he''s still our Yue Family''s son-in-law. Don''t hand it over, then he''s our Yue Family''s enemy!" an elder who was more hot-tempered said.


    Another elder said, "This is likely inappropriate, right? Right now, everything is just conjecture. The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil hasn''t appeared in 100 thousand years. To be able to break free of the illusionary realm, Ye Yuan might have other means. If he didn''t obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, then wouldn''t we be maligning a good man by doing so?"


    "Heh, maligning a good man? If he didn''t obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, how did Han Tong die? With just the likes of him, a Phaseless Realm, he can kill an emperor realm powerhouse who wields a divine artifact?"


    The group of elders chimed in here and there, but each stuck to their own version. But the majority of the people still leaned towards finding trouble with Ye Yuan.


    After all, the allure of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was seriously too great.


    Yue Jianqiu suddenly said, "Elder Lingyu, you had the most contact with Ye Yuan this trip. In your view, how great is the likelihood of Ye Yuan obtaining the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?"


    Yue Lingyu shook his head and said, "Honestly speaking, I feel that it''s virtually impossible!"


    "En? How do you mean?" Yue Jianqiu said curiously.


    Yue Lingyu slowly said, "Yellow Millet Mountain''s illusionary realm can make divine king experts fall for it unknowingly. How powerful it is can be imagined. Ye Yuan is only Phaseless Realm, what right does he have to subdue the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? In my view, he definitely broke free of the illusionary realm with other means. As for that Han Tong, he was very likely killed by the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Under the circumstances where there''s no evidence at all, making Ye Yuan hand over the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is a bit too compelling. Furthermore, truthfully speaking, having witnessed Li-er''s Innate Battle Soul Physique, this elderly self already doesn''t have much interest in the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil anymore!"Practicing Tai Chi means deflecting problems when not used literally. E.g. Management always likes to practice Tai Chi when problems crop up.

 972 Swords Drawn and Bows Stretched

    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ruan Shuangzhou suddenly startled awake, sweating profusely all over.


    This dream was too long ��


    When he saw Ye Yuan, his pupils constricted and he suddenly attacked, grabbing towards Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!"


    A terrifying aura came from within the void, instantly extinguishing Ruan Shuangzhou''s attack.


    An enormous rock suspended in the air, akin to a sharp sword hanging high above.


    Under the pressure of the massive rock, Ruan Shuangzhou felt that the bones in his entire body were almost splintering.


    "Submit or die!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was very calm, but Ruan Shuangzhou did not doubt in the slightest that as long as he even dared to mutter a word of dissent, that huge rock would fall, smashing him into minced meat.


    "I-I''m willing to submit!" Ruan Shuangzhou gritted his teeth and said.


    The huge rock immediately concealed from view, as if it had never appeared before at all.


    Ruan Shuangzhou placed his hands on the ground, kneeling on the ground, panting heavily for air, his entire body like he was dragged out of the water. That massive rock earlier was seriously too terrifying.


    "Not reconciled to it? This life of yours was already picked up. If it wasn''t for me, you''d have long already fallen into the illusionary realm at the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm forever." Ye Yuan said calmly.


    Ruan Shuangzhou was startled. Only now did his brain wrap itself around it. When he woke up from the illusionary realm just now, the moment he saw Ye Yuan, he instinctively wanted to make a move to restrain him.


    But he did not know that he had already come out of the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm long ago, and that he was taken into the Vast Heaven Pagoda by Ye Yuan.


    In here, Ye Yuan was the true sovereign!


    Even if he was a divine king expert, he had no choice but to lower his head too.


    Ruan Shuangzhou was also very smart. He sorted out his thoughts very quickly, but he suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked toward Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    "You �� You obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? N-No, this is absolutely impossible! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil already hasn''t appeared for 100 thousand years!" Ruan Shuangzhou himself even somewhat doubted this conjecture.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Obtained it huh? Considered so I guess. Although this fellow isn''t too well-behaved, at the moment, he is indeed under my control."


    Getting a definite answer, Ruan Shuangzhou sucked in a cold breath.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil really came into being!


    But he suddenly discovered something, that huge rock earlier seemed to be much more terrifying than the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil.


    That aura was simply able to decimate heaven and earth.


    Which was also to say that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was merely adding flowers to embroidery to Ye Yuan.


    Just how many priceless treasures are on this young man in front of him?


    "This life of yours is also considered saved by me. I''m a very fair person. Serve me for a thousand years. After a thousand years, I''ll return your freedom!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ruan Shuangzhou froze but did not expect that Ye Yuan actually only wanted a thousand years of his time.


    "Don''t use that sort of eyes to look at me. Whether you have the qualifications to serve me after a thousand years is still another matter altogether."


    Ruan Shuangzhou fell silent. These words coming out of the mouth of a Phaseless Realm martial artist was too arrogant. But he knew that Ye Yuan absolutely had the qualifications to say these words.


    A thousand years later, just what kind of boundary Ye Yuan could reach, even he did not dare to imagine either.


    After a long time, Ruan Shuangzhou sucked in a deep breath and opened his mouth to say, "Fine, I accept!"

    In the Yue Family''s training room, several divine king elders were shockingly present.


    Inside the defensive array formation, two figures were currently in the midst of a fierce battle. The waves of terrifying energy emitted impacted the grand array.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The few divine king elders looked at that beautiful figure inside the grand array, their eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    The one fighting with Yue Mengli was a Yue Family''s Third Level Dao Profound martial artist.


    But currently, this Third Level Dao Profound expert did not have the slightest strength to retaliate under Yue Mengli''s battle soul''s attacks, and he was actually being overpowered!


    "This is the Innate Battle Soul Physique? This is also a little too powerful, right?"


    "Li-er is just Ninth Level Phaseless. If we wait until she reaches Divine King Realm, wouldn''t she sweep across opponents in the same realm?"


    "Misfortune may be an actual blessing. Even if the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was obtained by that boy, with Li-er around, our Yue Family need not worry within these ten thousand years!"


    After these divine king elders witnessed the terror of the Innate Battle Soul Physique, they finally changed their views.


    Dao Profound Realm, one level, one world.


    The disparity between each minor realm was even greater than the disparity compared to Phaseless Realm, an entire major cultivation realm!


    Without heaven-defying means, it was virtually impossible to leap realms and battle.


    But Yue Mengli directly crossed three minor realms to utterly suppress her opponent. This spirit physique was also a bit too terrifying.


    Yue Jianqiu suddenly said, "Did Elders'' think about it? Ye Yuan already killed that Lin Chao without borrowing any external power! To talk about terrifying, that boy''s potential is the most fearsome!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone was startled.


    That sword of Ye Yuan''s, if not for Han Tong blocking it, it would definitely be able to kill Lin Chao.


    But what Ye Yuan relied on was entirely concept comprehension!


    Fusing supreme true intents, that was something that only Divine King Realms would mull over. Ye Yuan was just First Level Phaseless Realm at that time, and actually already comprehended it!


    With First Level Phaseless boundary, he crossed a major cultivation realm to cut down his opponent.


    Such strength, thinking about it made people feel frightened!


    This was not some Divine Traversing Realm, Heaven Enlightenment Realm, but Phaseless Realm cutting down Dao Profound Realm!


    "This boy''s 10-year agreement with Li-er, he went from a Lower Realms'' unknown junior and walked until today, and he still completed the agreement. I think he should be genuine towards Li-er! Ye Yuan this boy, once he steps into Divine King Realm in the future, his strength would likely be unimaginable! Li-er and his union, I think ��"


    Yue Jianqiu did not carry on talking, but he believed that the various divine king elders already got his meaning.


    Each and every one of them fell silent. Clearly, they were evaluating the Yue Family''s gains and losses.


    "But how are we going to give an account to the Zhou Family''s side? Even though it''s just a conjecture, the Zhou Family''s side probably won''t take things lying down, right?" a divine king elder said.


    His voice had yet to fade when several terrifying auras enveloped the sky of Bright Moon City.


    "Brother Yue, Zhou Jia came to visit. Please come out and meet!" Zhou Jia''s voice echoed out above the sky of Bright Moon City.


    Yue Jianqiu''s expression darkened, and he said unhappily, "This Zhou Jia actually didn''t even give a warning in advance, and he is shouting and wrangling in Bright Moon City!"


    Yue Jianqiu brought the group of elders and flew up. Zhou Jia brought along several divine king experts but appeared in the skies of Bright Moon City.


    "Zhou Jia, what''s the meaning of this?" Yue Jianqiu said in a solemn voice.


    Zhou Jia said, "Brother Yue don''t take offense. We''re here only because we want to find little friend Ye Yuan to ask about some things. The matter is of utmost importance and in somewhat of a hurry."


    Yue Jianqiu''s expression turned dark as he said, "In a hurry? Your lineup is clearly to force. Are you really bullying that my Yue Family doesn''t have people? Ye Yuan is my Yue Family''s son-in-law. You guys mobilizing forces like this, are you going to interrogate my Yue Family''s son-in-law?"


    Zhou Jia just said indifferently, "The matter concerns the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. I believe Brother Yue is able to understand."


    Yue Jianqiu gave a cold snort and said, "Ye Yuan didn''t obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, whether you believe it or not is up to you! As for meeting Ye Yuan, I think it''s better to forget about it! Please return!"

 973 Divine Kingss Astonishmen

    "Yue Jianqiu! The Zhou and Yue two families have always been birds of a feather. Do you really want to ruin our two families'' ten thousand years of relationship for an outsider?" Zhou Jia said solemnly.


    It was true that the two families were birds of a feather, but they were also not in perfect harmony.


    The competition between two great family clans naturally could not be dispensed with. For ten thousand years, the two families coming to blows was also not rare.


    But Yue Jianqiu smiled coldly when he heard and said, "Ye Yuan is not only my Yue Family''s son-in-law, he''s even Li-er''s savior. Handing him over to you, wouldn''t this Yue be ridiculed by everyone in the world? Furthermore, you came to capture people in all seriousness. When did you attach importance to our two families'' relationship?"


    "You! Yue Jianqiu, looks like you''re really going to fall out with the Zhou Family today?"


    "With that attitude of yours, so what if we fall out? Could it be that my Yue Family is scared of your Zhou Family?"


    Both parties were ready to jump at each other''s throats. Over ten divine king powerhouses stood in the air. It was seriously too shocking. Each and every one of the martial artists below did not even dare to breathe heavily.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Nobody would have thought that the Zhou and Yue two families would actually get into such a mess for a junior.


    This battle was bound to be the outcome of mutual devastation.


    "Oh, pretty lively! My goodness gracious, so many divine king experts, this Ye has truly broadened his horizons!"


    Right then, an extremely discordant voice sounded out. Ye Yuan actually tore through the air and came, arriving in the center of a bunch of divine king experts.


    Bright Moon City''s martial artists all involuntarily opened their eyes wide. This Ye Yuan was also too reckless, right?


    Up in the sky were all divine king powerhouses. The Zhou Family''s people were currently glaring at him like ravening tigers. This guy actually ran in the middle like nobody''s business to tease a group of divine kings.


    When Ye Yuan appeared, Yue Jianqiu''s expression changed and he said with a cold snort, "What did you come here for? Nothing to do with you here, go back!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Aren''t they looking for me? How can it be nothing to do with me? Lord Father-in-Law''s protectiveness, this son-in-law has understood. But the Zhou and Yue two families falling out because of this Ye is not what I wish to see."


    Yue Jianqiu''s heart could not help plummeting. Why did this brat''s words have a hint of sacrificing one''s self for justice?


    "Stop messing around! It isn''t your turn to meddle in the Zhou and Yue two families'' affairs! Quickly go back for me!" Yue Jianqiu said with a somber look.


    But Ye Yuan ignored Yue Jianqiu and said to Zhou Jia, "Just spit out what you have to say! This young master''s time is very valuable."


    Zhou Jia''s face turned black, but he could not be bothered to argue with Ye Yuan. He asked in a solemn voice, "The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil should be in your possession, right? Hand over the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil and this seat will give you a way out!"


    "Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? You''re thinking too much! That thing has already not come into being for over 100 thousand years! How could it be acquired by me?" Ye Yuan said with an innocent look.


    "If you didn''t obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, how did you, a measly little Phaseless Realm dispel the illusionary magic?" Zhou Jia said with a cold sneer.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhou Jia with a smile that was not a smile and opened his mouth to say, "Can I understand it like this? This Ye saved a divine king expert and the next patriarch successor of your Zhou Family, but you guys are forcefully imposing a groundless crime on my head now. Turns out that your Zhou Family are all a bunch of shameless people who repay kindness with ingratitude!"


    The moment Ye Yuan said these words, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    Although the strong reigned supreme among martial artists, repaying kindness with animosity this sort of thing was still beneath contempt.


    Ye Yuan''s words forced the Zhou Family into a corner all at once.


    Zhou Jia snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "Ye Yuan, don''t use fine rhetoric! Everyone knows that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil belongs to the Vastsun and Bright Moon two cities! What capabilities do you, an outsider, have to occupy it?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Outsider? Heh heh, with that attitude of yours, even if I really have the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, why should I give you? My lord father-in-law is still here. You all, these shameless people, came to snatch things; do you really think that you''re impressive?"


    "Heh, you finally admitted it! Brat, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is a misfortune and not a blessing to you! Better hand it over!" a Zhou Family''s divine king elder said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Do you have a pig''s brain? I''m really skeptical, with your intellect, how did you cultivate to the Divine King Realm."


    That Zhou Family''s divine king was a hot-tempered one at a glance. Being triggered by Ye Yuan like this, he immediately became greatly enraged.


    "Stinking brat, I''ll tear that mouth of yours!"


    That divine king actually directly grabbed towards Ye Yuan in front of Yue Jianqiu.


    "What a fine Zhou Bolong, you really dare to make a move!" Yue Lingyu directly matched up against Zhou Bolong without another word.


    At a word of disagreement, both parties actually really exchanged blows!


    The great battle of divine kings, the commotion was incomparably shocking. Even when separated by a far-away distance, the martial artists below were incredibly shocked too.


    "Elder Bofeng, you''re responsible for taking Ye Yuan down. The others, attack!" Zhou Jia made a prompt decision and immediately instructed.


    In terms of strength, the Zhou Family was indeed that tiny bit stronger than the Yue Family. Because the Zhou Family''s divine king experts were more than the Yue Family''s.


    Today, Zhou Boping did not come. Presumably, it was because he did not have the face to meet Ye Yuan. But even so, the Zhou Family still had one more divine king powerhouse compared to the Yue Family.


    Yue Jianqiu''s face turned cold and secretly cussed.


    Ye Yuan this boy was really insensible. If he hid inside the city, the Zhou Family would not be able to do anything to the Yue Family at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan was mixed up together with them. He could not run even if he wanted to.


    Yue Jianqiu was just about to go and protect Ye Yuan when Zhou Jia already rushed over at full speed.


    "Your opponent is me! Ye Yuan''s side, you don''t need to worry about it!" Zhou Jia said with a loud laugh.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was simply a fool, to actually deliver himself to the doorstep. It saved him some trouble though.


    The Zhou Family and Yue Family were both very familiar with each other and knew that the other party''s trump card was far from this.


    Therefore, him suddenly sending out divine kings today was in order to catch Yue Jianqiu by surprise.


    He did not think that it really worked out.


    As long as they brought Ye Yuan back, he naturally had the means to investigate whether Ye Yuan obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil or not.


    If he really did not, at most send him back later, then apologize to the Yue Family. This matter would also be considered settled.


    As for the two families'' rift, compared to the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, it was seriously insignificant.


    Zhou Bofeng being unoccupied at this time, was not long-winded either. He directly waved his hand and was just about to capture Ye Yuan.


    This move looked casual, but actually, Zhou Bofeng did not hold back. A divine king expert''s utilization of essence energy already reached a transcendent realm.


    This wave of a hand already used essence energy to lock down the space around Ye Yuan firmly. Even if he grew wings, he would not be able to escape too!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished from sight, and actually slipped away from his hands!


    Seeing this scene, Zhou Bofeng''s expression changed drastically, and he said, "Merging with heaven and earth! Heaven Man Unity!"


    The unexpected change that happened here landed in everyone''s eyes. The divine king experts who were currently fighting actually all ceased.


    Even Yue Lingyu''s pupils constricted too, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    She did not see how Ye Yuan killed Han Tong. This Heaven Man Unity, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time displaying it in front of the public.


    Space vibrated. Ye Yuan''s figure already appeared ten thousand feet away.


    He looked at the group of divine kings and said with a faint smile, "All looking at me for what? Well, don''t stop, carry on fighting!"

 974 Demon Race Messenger

    "Heaven Man Unity! It''s actually Heaven Man Unity! Those able to reach Heaven Man Unity in the heart realm in the Divine Realm can be counted on one hand! This boy actually comprehended Heaven Man Unity!"


    "Heaven Man Unity, resonating with the Great Dao, one can merge with heaven and earth! Ye Yuan is merely 20 over years of age; how on earth did he cultivate?"


    "No wonder he can undo the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s illusionary art! Turns out that he actually comprehended Heaven Man Unity!"


    The group of divine kings looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock, not daring to believe the scene that they saw earlier.


    Heaven Man Unity, how many years has it not appeared in the Divine Realm? Today, it actually appeared on an over 20-year-old young man''s body. This was too inconceivable.


    Heart realm this sort of thing was even harder to train compared to concept.


    Although concepts were hard, as long as one was willing to spend time, they could more or less still comprehend a little.


    The majority of divine king experts had their own supreme true intent. But the heart realm cultivation of divine kings, very few people were able to break through to Heart Like Monolith, let alone talk about Heaven Man Unity.


    Heart realm this sort of thing was too fleeting and ephemeral, unable to grasp at all.


    The Divine Realm had a myriad of cultivation methods, and it was also unheard of that anyone had a method to cultivate the heart realm.


    "Zhou Jiao, what do you have to say now? I wonder if Heaven Man Unity heart realm can break apart the illusionary realm?" Yue Jianqiu said with a cold smile.


    Zhou Jia''s expression was very ugly. He never would have thought that Ye Yuan was actually able to comprehend Heaven Man Unity!


    This time, they really made a big fool of themselves.


    People knew that Heaven Man Unity was formidable. But just how incredible, extremely few people were aware.


    Even Zhou Jiao also did not know that Ye Yuan''s Heaven Man Unity was completely unable to help others break free of the illusionary realm.


    But without a doubt, the higher the heart realm, the greater the immunity towards illusionary realms too.


    Heaven Man Unity this sort of realm, barely anyone in the Divine Realm had attained it before. Therefore, the way people saw it, Heaven Man Unity should be extremely incredible. Helping others break free of the illusionary realm should not be an issue.


    Zhou Jia sucked in a deep breath and knew that today could not carry on anymore, and could not help saying in a low voice, "Fine then. This matter is my Zhou Family''s fault. Brother Yue, the Zhou Family will definitely give some compensation later. Let''s go!"


    Done talking, Zhou Jiao brought along the group of divine kings and left like a gust of wind.


    Today, the Zhou Family could be said to have had an utter loss of face at Bright Moon City.


    With this incident today, the Zhou and Yue two families'' honeymoon period was likely over already. From here on, how these two mighty Rank One Holy Lands were going to get along was something worth pondering.

    Yue Family, a group of divine kings had their eyes glued on Ye Yuan. It was as if they were looking at a monster.


    Fusing supreme true intents, Heaven Man Unity, Ye Yuan''s comprehension abilities were simply too terrifying.


    "Oh, Ye Yuan, you comprehended Heaven Man Unity, why did you say earlier?" Yue Jianqiu said with a wry smile.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You didn''t ask me either. Speaking of which, weren''t you guys all concerned about the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil? Didn''t you all get behind closed doors to discuss the moment I returned? Actually, inside the mystic realm, I fell for the illusionary art too. If not for comprehending Heaven Man Unity, I myself would also be doomed."


    Everyone could not help exchanging glances when they heard that. Looks like the Yue Family''s movements still could not hide from this shrewd brat.


    "In that case, you really didn''t obtain the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?" Yue Jianqiu said.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Just what kind of form the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is, you yourselves don''t even know, so how would I know? It''s an existence that has once accompanied Deity Realm powerhouses before. Do you all really think that the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is so easy to obtain? Just breaking free of that illusionary magic, I was already at death''s door. How would I still have the strength to go and subdue the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil?"


    Everyone exchanged glances once more. Thinking carefully, Ye Yuan''s words were really reasonable.


    For 100 thousand years, nobody had seen the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil before at all, let alone talk about subduing it.


    "You, boy, when telling lies, your face doesn''t change, and your heart doesn''t beat faster, making it until even I myself almost believe it. But at least you have some knowledge and know that this seat isn''t to be trifled with!" inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil howled.


    Ye Yuan made the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil restrain itself, causing his eyes to look no different from ordinary people. Hence, for others to want to see through anything from his two eyes, that was impossible.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "So what even if you are not to be trifled with? Aren''t you still suppressed by me obediently? Put away that pride of yours and best be well-behaved for me. Otherwise, what the consequences will be, you are aware of it yourself too."


    But the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said lazily, "Heh, if you wanted to kill me, you''d have made a move long ago. Why is there a need to wait until now?"


    "You came from the Ancient Era, and most likely know quite a bit of secret. Killing you is a bit of a pity. However �� this young master isn''t as easygoing as you imagine. If you don''t believe, you can very well give it a try."


    Ye Yuan still had an indifferent tone. But the killing intent exuding in those words made the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil shiver without being cold.


    His pupils constricted, but he did not dare to make a sound anymore.


    These few days, he had been observing Ye Yuan all along. Ye Yuan was definitely someone decisive in going for the kill. Those words earlier were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    If he really had any devious thoughts, Ye Yuan would cut him down without the slightest hesitation.


    "Actually, I''ve already given you a chance. if you''re still impervious to reason, then don''t blame me for not being courteous."


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was currently in a daze, but Ye Yuan''s words made him shudder with fear.


    This boy is too astute! Can''t hide anything from him! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil hated Ye Yuan in his heart.


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil knew what he was referring to.


    Actually, on that day, his reconstruction of Ye Yuan''s eyes was not thorough at all and had a huge latent danger. If Ye Yuan kept using his ocular powers, as time passed, it would cause a tremendous burden on the eyes.


    At that time, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s opportunity to get out would have arrived.


    He originally thought that this matter was done seamlessly. He did not think that Ye Yuan was actually aware of it already.


    How could he know that Ye Yuan was not only a martial path expert, but also his alchemy path strength was even more unfathomable.


    The matters of the eyes, he could hide from other people but could not hide from Ye Yuan.


    "Looks like it was us who had the yardstick of a petty man! Ye Yuan, you just have to stay in the Yue Family. With me, Yue Jianqiu around, the Zhou Family won''t dare to do anything to you!" Yue Jianqiu said.


    Right at this time, someone suddenly came to report.


    "Family Head, there''s a person outside who mentioned Ye Yuan by name and wants to meet him. He says that he''s �� a member of the demon race."


    "Demon race?"


    Yue Jianqiu could not help being surprised. Ye Yuan actually had connections to the demon race too?


    But Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard and hurriedly made people bring him in.


    But seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan thought that it was White Light who came to find him. But this middle-aged man before his eyes, he did not recognize him.


    That middle-aged man was also sizing Ye Yuan up, his eyes likewise revealing a look of disappointment.


    "Who is your esteemed self? What did you come looking for me for?" Ye Yuan inquired.


    That burly fellow gave birth to disdain in his heart, and his attitude towards Ye Yuan also appeared slightly haughty as he said coolly, "This one is Bai Po. It was Young Patriarch White Light who made me come and look for Mister Ye."

 975 White Lights Predicamen

    "En? You''re really sent by White Light?" Ye Yuan said joyfully.


    Ye Yuan already did not have White Light''s news for a very long time. If not for coming to save Yue Mengli, he would definitely have gone to find White Light straight away.


    Now that Yue Mengli was already saved, and he even obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil unexpectedly, Ye Yuan was just planning on heading to the Demon Region to find White Light.


    He did not expect that White Light actually beat him to it and sent someone to come and find him.


    Bai Po said, "Young Patriarch made me tell Young Master Ye, do you still remember that little white tiger in the Endless Forest back then?"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help being overjoyed and said, "It''s really White Light! You called him Young Patriarch? How is White Light doing now?"


    Back then, when White Light suddenly left, Ye Yuan was very unwilling to part too.


    The two of them started from the Endless Forest, and had always depended on each other for survival, and had never separated before.


    Who knew that White Light''s departure would be several years.


    But no idea why, White Light seemed to have become the White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Ye Yuan had some understanding of the White Tiger Clan and knew that the White Tiger Clan had many branches. But there were three clans that were the strongest branches: Crimsonflame White Tiger, Suppression Martial White Tiger, as well as the Flowing Light White Tiger!


    These three clans each had their forte. The Crimsonflame White Tiger was the most adept at controlling the power of flames. Suppression Martial White Tiger had herculean strength, while the Flowing Light White Tiger had speed as their forte.


    If White Light became the tiger clan''s young patriarch, it was very likely the Flowing Light White Tigers'' young patriarch.


    Of course, there was still another type of possibility, that was White Light became the White Tiger Clan''s collectively venerated young patriarch!


    But Ye Yuan felt that a few short years of time, White Light probably could not accomplish to this extent.


    Ye Yuan was currently rejoicing by himself when he suddenly discovered that Bai Po''s expression was not quite right, and his heart involuntarily sunk.


    "Did White Light encounter any trouble?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Bai Po nodded his head and said, "Actually, two months later, my White Tiger Clan is going to choose its next young patriarch. Young Patriarch White Light is one of the candidates for young patriarch. My Flowing Light White Tiger has been declining for many years. Originally, there was no hope. But Young Patriarch White Light''s appearance let us see hope anew. But didn''t expect that ��"


    "Didn''t expect that they all racked up his past and attacked him with White Light''s bloodline being impure as the excuse, right?" Ye Yuan followed up.


    Bai Po was stunned and could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    "You �� How did you know?"


    The Demon Region was comparatively independent. Its news was also relatively out-of-touch to the Divine Realm. There was no reason for Ye Yuan to have heard of the White Tiger Clan''s matters.


    But this Ye Yuan actually blurted out the difficult circumstances that Young Patriarch White Light encountered. Could it be that he was a seer?


    Ye Yuan did not answer, but asked instead, "With White Light''s cultivation realm, he probably already broke through to Tier 9, right?"


    Bai Po nodded and said, "Young Patriarch White Light is a rare cultivation talent. At half a year ago, he already broke through to Tier 9! Currently, his strength is already not the slightest bit inferior to the other two clans'' young patriarchs."


    Mentioning White Light, Bai Po was very proud too. The Flowing Light White Tiger clan had been on a declining trend for many years. White Light''s appearance brought them glory.


    Ye Yuan said, "Then that''s right! Do you know how many years White Light used to cultivate from Tier 9 to Tier 9?"


    Bai Po shook his head blankly. White Light would never talk to them about past matters, so they also did not know what White Light experienced prior to returning to the White Tiger Clan.


    If not for White Light making him come and find Ye Yuan this time, he would not even know that White Light actually still had a friend among the humans.


    "A �� A hundred years?" Bai Po said weakly.


    100 years was not that Bai Po felt that it was too long, but felt that it was too short!


    Although the White Tiger Clan had divine beast bloodline, they also required several thousand years before they were able to cultivate to Tier 9.


    Even geniuses needed at least several hundred years of time too. The other two clans'' young patriarchs cultivated for around 500 years and were already considered very impressive.


    Bao Po discerned the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words. White Light''s cultivation speed should be very fast. Therefore, he boldly made a guess.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re looking down on White Light too much! The first time I met him, he was merely just Tier 1. That was merely something that happened more than a dozen years ago."


    The moment Bai Po heard, his pupils involuntarily constricted.


    He knew that Young Patriarch White Light''s talent was extremely strong. But he also did not think that he actually only used just over a dozen years to cultivate from Tier 1 to Tier 9.


    Such talent was truly too heaven-defying!


    Of course, if he knew that this freak in front of him also merely just used 10 years of time, and his strength was already comparable to Dao Profound Realm powerhouses, it was uncertain what he would feel.


    Furthermore, the reason why White Light cultivated so quickly was all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    If there wasn''t Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, White Light would likely need at least a hundred years of time to be able to cultivate to his present realm.


    "Therefore, White Light''s white tiger bloodline will only be above the other two clans''. This is probably also the reason why they joined hands to deal with White Light! And the only problem with White Light is that his bloodline is impure!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Bai Po''s eyes became wide saucers, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    He somewhat understood now, the reason why Young Patriarch White Light wanted to find this young man.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    He only just spoke a few sentences from the start until now, but Ye Yuan already guessed the tiger clan''s inner-struggle close to the mark by relying on these few sentences!


    Such thinking, just thinking about it made people feel afraid.


    "You tell me about the White Tiger Clan''s present situation first," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Currently, Bai Po was already utterly convinced by Ye Yuan. Hearing Ye Yuan''s instruction, he immediately did not hesitate either, hastily recounting the White Tiger Clan''s present circumstances.


    The White Tiger Clan''s current patriarch was from the Crimsonflame White Tiger Clan. The White Tiger Clan''s elders association was also the Crimsonflame White Tiger Clan and the Suppression Martial White Tiger Clan being in the majority.


    Although the Flowing Light White Tiger was one of the three great branches in name, they had actually gradually declined already and showed trends of being replaced by other branches.


    The demon race valued bloodline the most, especially the White Tiger Clan, this sort of clan with extremely high divine beast bloodline purity, they were even more particular about this area.


    Ye Yuan had long discovered that White Light was somewhat different from the ordinary White Tiger Clan, but did not think that this aspect actually became the obstacle to White Light becoming young patriarch.


    Now, the elders association raised suspicions about White Light''s identity. Although the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan was extremely against this, nothing could be done, especially their power in the clan leaning to the weaker side. Right now, the pressure they experienced was tremendous too.


    If it carried on developing like this, forget about contending for the position of young patriarch, likely whether or not he could stay in the White Tiger clan in the end was another matter altogether.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm and did not express anything. He just said to Bai Po, "You go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning, I''ll follow you and head to the White Tiger Clan!"


    Bai Po could not help being overjoyed the moment he heard that. Although Ye Yuan''s strength was a little weak, this resourcefulness might really be able to turn back the raging tides!


    Sending away Bai Po, Ye Yuan went to find Yue Mengli.


    Yue Mengli and White Light had lived together for a long time. Their feelings were not shallow either. Furthermore, White Light was Ye Yuan''s brother, she naturally would not stop Ye Yuan on this matter.


    She did not have the slightest hesitation as well and wanted to leave together with Ye Yuan immediately.

 976 Slapping

    The Demon Region was situated in the north-eastern direction of the Divine Realm. The land it occupied was extremely vast.


    As one of the Four Great Divine Beasts'' races, the White Tiger Clan had extremely formidable strength. The territory they occupied was as vast as over ten major human regions.


    Half a month later, Ye Yuan, Bai Po, and Yue Mengli, the three people finally arrived at the White Tiger Clan''s totem territory after passing through many areas.


    The totem territory was a sacred ground that the White Tiger Clan collectively venerated. It was the entire White Tiger Clan''s land of inheritance. Its status was exceptionally special.


    The White Tiger Clan, this sort of divine beast race, the branches were a lot. Normally, they were all scattered all over the land. Only when some major matters involving the White Tiger Clan happened would they gather at the totem territory.


    At present, it was currently the crucial period of electing the young patriarch. Therefore, large groups of white tiger clan branches gathered inside the totem territory.


    "Halt! Miscellaneous people are not to enter the totem territory! Otherwise, kill without mercy!"


    Two brawny men with stocky and imposing builds blocked the three people''s path with fierce looks.


    Bai Po''s expression turned cold, and he said, "Rong Lin, Rong Sen, what gall you guys have! When did I, Bai Po, become a miscellaneous person?"


    That Rong Sen''s face revealed a look of contempt and said, "Lord Bai Po you''re naturally not a miscellaneous person. But these two �� Pardon me for not remembering if I''ve seen you before, if I didn''t see wrongly, they should be humans, right?"


    Verbally calling Lord Bai Po, but his words did not have the slightest hint of respect. Very clearly, the two of them did not attach importance to Bai Po at all.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart, these two burly men definitely originated from the Crimsonflame White Tiger or Suppression Martial White Tiger lineage. This was intentionally making things difficult.


    Bai Po''s face was very grim as he forcefully held back his fury and said, "These two are distinguished guests that Young Patriarch White Light invited over. They are sworn friends for life and death with Young Patriarch White Light. How did they become miscellaneous people?"


    But Rong Sen''s attitude did not change in the least bit. Instead, he said with a jeer, "Young Patriarch White Light''s friends? Heh heh, Young Patriarch White Light''s friends are actually humans! Doesn''t Lord Bai Po not know that the humans have a saying that went: those who are not of my race, are surely not of one heart and mind? Apologies, if Lord Bai Po wants to enter, please go ahead! But these two people cannot enter!"


    This Rong Sen''s attitude was very haughty and did not show Bai Po any respect at all.


    This actually carried the thick intent of shaming.


    "You guys!" Bai Po was angered until he was livid with rage.


    Slap, slap!


    Rong Sen and Rong Ling were currently being pleased with themselves when all of a sudden, they saw stars in front of their eyes. Each person''s face actually had an added slap mark.


    Ye Yuan''s slap used plenty of strength, flinging them until they spun around quite a few times on the spot before barely managing to stabilize firmly.


    "This place is the White Tiger Clan''s totem territory! You �� You actually dare to raise your hand and hit people!" Rong Sen glared at Ye Yuan and said.


    Bai Po was stunned too. He did not think that Ye Yuan was actually so tyrannical, raising his hand to throw a slap at a word of disagreement.


    However, these two slaps indeed vented one''s anger.


    The Flowing Light White Tiger Clan was weak. Although Bai Po''s status in the clan was high, in this totem territory, he did not dare to be unbridled.


    Rong Sen and Rong Ling were merely initial-stage Tier 9. Although they were not his match, he did not dare to make a move to strike them.


    It was fine if he struck out, but if it left a handle for gossip for the other two clans, there would be everything to lose, but nothing to gain for the clan.


    But Bai Po was also very shocked. With his strength, he actually did not see clearly how Ye Yuan threw the slaps just now!


    Ye Yuan''s actions were too swift. Everyone did not react in time.


    When did Phaseless Realm martial artists have such terrifying movements?


    The Flowing Light White Tiger Clan claimed to be unparalleled under the heavens. But Ye Yuan''s movements just now, he actually did not see clearly!


    "Two fools who defied your superior, giving you guys two slaps is already considered light! You should rejoice that I''m not a member of the tiger clan. Otherwise, the two of you would already be dead men now!" Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    Rong Sen was still incredibly haughty just now. But currently, facing Ye Yuan, he actually had unspeakable fear.


    Ye Yuan''s move just now was too fast. He did not see clearly at all. If Ye Yuan really wanted to kill them, they would indeed be dead men already.


    This level of movement technique that merged with heaven and earth was completely not what he could catch up to.


    One had to know that even a divine king like Zhou Bofeng had no way of catching Ye Yuan!


    "I �� I was just speaking truthfully. How is it defying my superiors?" Rong Sen defended himself with sophistry.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "According to what I know, the young patriarch''s position in the tiger clan is on par with Divine King Realm elders! As a candidate to be the young patriarch, White Light''s status is comparable to that of elders. The two of you made impertinent remarks about him, killing you guys �� what''s wrong with that?"


    Rong Sen''s face became deathly pale the moment he heard. If one really took it seriously this excuse of Ye Yuan''s was sufficient to kill the two of them.


    The demon race''s rankings were even more stringent than the human race. Defying one''s superiors, this kind of accusation, was enough to die several times over.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Also, you guys said that, those who are not of my race are surely not of one heart and mind. According to what I know, your patriarch and elders, quite a few people have had dealings with human martial artists. There are even some people whose friendly relations aren''t shallow. According to the meaning in your words, are each and every one of the tiger clan''s elders all traitors?"


    Ye Yuan took his time to say, but Rong Sen and Rong Ling became drenched in cold sweat.


    Although the demon race was relatively independent, the demon race''s upper echelons likewise had close dealings with the human race.


    In his past life, Ji Qingyun had very friendly relations with a dragon race''s higher-up who even invited him to the dragon clan to be a guest.


    This point, Rong Sen and Rong Ling were naturally aware.


    If according to what Ye Yuan said, these two charges added up was enough for them to die a number of times over.


    Just as the two of them were at a loss on what to do, a young man slowly walked over.


    "What a sharp tongue your esteemed self has. Looks like you''re the reinforcement White Light went to invite?"


    When Bai Po saw the arrival, his expression involuntarily changed, and he went forward to salute, "Young Patriarch Rong Xin!"


    "Huhu, you went through great trouble, Bai Po! Looks like this brother arriving, Younger Brother White Light has an additional huge arm!" Rong Xin said with a faint smile.


    Hearing young patriarch these two words, how could Ye Yuan still not understand the identity of this person in front of him?


    This person was definitely one of the candidates for young patriarch too.


    Those two people earlier were likely arranged by him in advance, to deliberately take him down a notch.


    It was just that Rong Xin did not expect that a slap from him and a few sentences scared the two people until they wet their pants. He only showed himself to rescue the besieged against his will.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether it''s an additional huge arm or not is hard to tell. But if someone wants to bully White Light, I''ll break an arm of his!"


    When Rong Xin heard that, a cold light flickered across his two eyes. But on the surface, he said with a light smile, "Brother is so arrogant! You got to know that this place is the White Tiger Clan''s territory. You humans have to pay the price for coming here to be arrogant!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Rong Xin and said with a smile, "When I''m arrogant, the one who pays the price is generally someone else."


    "Big Brother!"


    Right at this moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded out. A white silhouette arrived with a howl. Who could it be if not White Light?


    "White Light! Parting for years, I didn''t expect that you''re already the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch!" Ye Yuan laughed loudly, and they hugged each other, leaving Rong Xin out in the cold at one side.

 977 Get Los

    After a round of small talk, White Light suddenly said to Rong Xin with a faint smile, "Rong Xin, don''t blame me for not warning you, the outcome of provoking my big brother will all be very tragic!"


    Rong Xin''s heart plunged. He discovered that after White Light saw Ye Yuan, his entire person''s spirit, qi, and vitality became different.


    How to say it, these few days, although White Light appeared very calm, Rong Xin could detect that hint of restlessness beneath his calm.


    White Light had always maintained very restrained for the sake of the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan.


    It was impossible for the White Light from before to say such words.


    But this sort of restlessness was actually swept away cleanly after he saw Ye Yuan just now!


    The current White Light, even when speaking, appeared fully confident.


    Rong Xin was perplexed. Just what kind of magic powers did this human race brat have, to actually be able to make White Light undergo such a huge transformation?


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength earlier gave him a fright, this kind of strength when placed in the White Tiger Clan was clearly inadequate to look at.


    The strength of the Four Great Divine Beasts race was not the slightest bit weaker compared to the human domains'' super holy lands!


    What kind of wave could a Phaseless Realm brat stir up?


    Rong Xin smiled and said, "Is that so? The day after tomorrow, the elders council''s decision will be coming out. When your candidate qualifications are revoked, I want to see what your big brother will use to make me very tragic! Hahaha ��"


    Rong Xin left with a burst of loud laughter, but White Light''s expression became ugly.


    Bai Po''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "Young Patriarch, is what Rong Xin said true? This �� What''s going on here?"


    White Light finally let out a long sigh and said, "This isn''t the right place to talk. Let''s return to the clan first."


    White Light brought Ye Yuan and the others returned to the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan''s encampment. Along the way, the initial-most excitement from seeing Ye Yuan disappeared at this time.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. In his impression, White Light had always been a naive youth. He had never seen before White Light with such a cumbered-with-a-heavy-load side.


    One could tell that White Light regarded this young patriarch status very importantly.


    Ye Yuan took it into his eyes, but could not help being somewhat moved. That little white tiger in the old days grew up after all!


    "Yo, is that our lord young patriarch? Oh, no, wait, there''s still two more days, and our Flowing Light White Tiger Clan is going to lose the qualifications to contend as the young patriarch. This, we really have to thank Young Patriarch White Light!"


    Upon entering the clan, a voice dripping with sarcasm transmitted into everyone''s ears.


    A young man dressed in white came out from a corner, his gaze when looking at White Light was filled with enmity.


    Bai Po''s face fell, and he said, "Bai Hui, can you don''t be so sarcastic when you speak? What benefits can you get from Young Patriarch losing his qualification? Without Young Patriarch, with just the likes of you, the Crimsonflame and Suppression Martial two clans probably wouldn''t even take one look!"


    That Bai Hui''s expression changed and he said with a cold snort, "So what? At least, I wouldn''t become a laughing stock of the entire White Tiger Clan! Even if I lose, I''ll also lose openly and above-board!"


    Bai Pai could not help choking up. Even though Bai Hui was jealous of White Light, if White Light''s qualifications were really revoked, he would really become a laughing stock of the entire White Tiger Clan.


    Ye Yuan looked on indifferently as a bystander, already clear in his heart.


    White Light''s appearance probably snatched away his title of young patriarch. Therefore, when he saw White Light, he would naturally be sarcastic.


    "Big Brother, let''s go." White Light''s interest somewhat waned, unwilling to argue with Bai Hui.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Bai Hui, is it? You can even lose so righteously and confidently. Your esteemed self''s thinking truly takes people''s breath away! No wonder the White Tiger Clan declined until this point. Even the junior generation has gone downhill like so, how can it not decline?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Bai Hui flush scarlet red with shame.


    Even Bai Po felt that he lost face too.


    Indeed, right now, the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan''s members, quite a number of people had roughly the same thinking as Bai Hui, harboring the idea of muddling along.


    If not for White Light''s appearance, they would also go and play a supporting role with no qualms of conscious, then be eliminated with their minds at ease and their conscious clear.


    "You, a measly little human, what the hell do you know?! The might of the Crimsonflame and Suppression Martial is completely not what you can imagine!" Bai Hui shouted at the top of his voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled again and said, "Hence, you feel that being able to stand up there and contend with them for the position of young patriarch is already immense courage, right?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "I �� I don''t ��"


    Bai Hui wanted to deny it very much, but Ye Yuan''s words made him have no way of denying at all!


    "You don''t what? I saw Rong Xin when I entered the territory. You''re far too lacking when compared to him! Not talking about cultivation realm strength, just your tolerance and breadth of mind is not on the same level as him! If you represent the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan to go and contend for the position of young patriarch, it will only be more disgraceful!"


    Ye Yuan threw Bai Hui''s face onto the ground without the least bit of mercy, and conveniently stomped on it a few times.


    This period of time, White Light''s days in the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan was probably very rough. He reckoned that this Bai Hui had no lack of embarrassing White Light.


    Just based on this, Ye Yuan would not let him have an easy time too.


    "You �� You ��" Bai Hui was enraged until smoke billowed from all seven orifices, yet, he just could not find words to refute.


    "What about me? Stop making a fool of yourself here, alright? Let me tell you, White Light''s qualifications won''t be revoked! The position of young patriarch will also definitely be his! As for you, get lost! Let''s go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "There''re still two days, and the elders council''s decision will be passed down! I want to see if your boasting is going to reach the skies or not!"


    Bai Hui''s roar came from behind, but Ye Yuan did not even care.


    Arriving at the inner-chamber, White Light showed an ugly smile and said, "I''ve incurred your ridicule, Big Brother."


    Slap!


    Ye Yuan suddenly cuffed the back of White Light''s head and scolded with a smile, "Rascally brat, what nonsense are you saying? Are you really that little tiger who fears nothing and no one that I know?"


    Bai Po was taken aback with fright by this scene, and immediately felt a blast of cold wind at the back of his head too.


    Although the time White Light returned to the White Tiger Clan was not long, with the methods and aura he displayed, he already faintly had the imposing air of a sovereign.


    If not for dismissing his qualifications this matter, there was actually nobody who dared to question him in the clan anymore.


    But Ye Yuan actually treated him like a little kid, directly smacking. Furthermore, Young Patriarch even did not dare to retaliate!


    This scene made his eyeballs drop to the ground.


    "Hehe �� Whitey, with your and Big Brother Yuan''s feelings, you still said this sort of words. Isn''t it treating us as strangers too much? Don''t you worry. With Big Brother Yuan around, this position of young patriarch is definitely yours. It can''t run away!" Yue Mengli did not talk all along but was tickled by Ye Yuan at this time.


    White Light being smacked seemed to have come back to his senses too. He appeared slightly embarrassed as he said with a laugh, "Haha, yeah, when Big Brother isn''t around, I feel uneasy all over. The pressure these few days, it was too intense! But Elder Sister Li-er, you called Big Brother Yuan so intimately, do I, this younger brother, have to change my term of address to sister-in-law?"


    Being teased by White Light, Yue Mengli''s face reddened.

 978 White Tiger Dungeon

    After a bout of teasing, White Light''s emotions finally smoothed over.


    In front of Ye Yuan, he recovered to that cheerful and lively White Light again.


    Seeing this scene, the Bai Po by the side was endlessly shocked.


    White Light came to the Flowing Light Clan for such a long time, he had yet to see such an innocent and pure side of him.


    In his impression, White Light had always been a youth who matured earlier, serious in speech and manner and had well thought out plans.


    "Oh, right, why did the elders council suddenly want to cancel your young patriarch candidate qualifications? Even if they have doubts about your identity, it''s also not to the extent of being so extreme, right? After all, the divine beast bloodline in you, there''s no way of faking it," Ye Yuan dragged the topic back to the subject.


    But White Light fell silent. A blush faintly appeared on his face, and he actually became somewhat shy.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being endlessly surprised.


    But Bai Po heaved a long sigh and said, "Sigh �� No man can resist the charms of a beautiful woman! I didn''t expect that Young Patriarch still fell into it."


    They were all people who had experienced it. When Ye Yuan and Bai Po saw this scene, how could they still not understand what happened?


    "Huhu, I didn''t think that our family''s White Light actually had his first awakening of love too! It''s just, who''s that lady? To actually implicate your White Tiger Clan''s struggle for young patriarch?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Being teased by Ye Yuan, White Light''s face became even redder like an apple. But he still let out a sigh and said, "I also know that I shouldn''t, but �� I couldn''t control my feelings! That girl is from the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan. Our White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan are mortal enemies. This matter was found out by God knows who. It was disclosed to the elders council, making the elders come to a decision and want to revoke my candidate rights."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was unbelievably astonished. White Light actually fell in love with the enemy. No wonder the elders council would be enraged and wanted to revoke his candidate rights.


    Adding in White Light''s identity, which left questions unanswered, it would be weird if the elders council did not have any expression!


    Such an incident occurring, it was already a miracle that White Light could still have freedom.


    Bai Po let out a sigh too and said, "These few years, Young Patriarch performed deeds of valor in many battles for the White Tiger Clan. That''s why an exception was made for him to become a candidate for young patriarch. If not for this, the elders council likely would not stop at revoking his rights so simple."


    Ye Yuan was not clear about the White Tiger Clan''s matters, but he knew that the White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan were mortal foes.


    Both parties mutually went on punitive expeditions that had already lasted for no idea how many tens of thousands of years.


    White Light actually fell for a woman from the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan. This sort of thing absolutely could not be forgiven.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. He just lightly drummed the table using his finger, emitting a rhythmic sound.


    When everyone saw the situation, they knew that Ye Yuan was thinking, and could not help holding their breaths, not daring to disturb Ye Yuan.


    After some time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth, "Where is that girl now?"


    White Light''s expression dimmed, and he said, "I originally hid her in the territory of the Flowing Light Clan. But this matter was found out by don''t know who. Now, she''s already imprisoned inside the totem territory. The clan has already issued the decree, the moment the elders council''s decision is out the day after tomorrow, they will be sentencing her to death!


    White Light clenched his fists tightly, kneading his own bones until it creaked. Ye Yuan knew that he was definitely struggling endlessly inside his heart. If according to White Light''s temper in the past, he would definitely have not been able to hold back long ago and went into the dungeons to rescue her.


    But now, he was shouldering the duty of the Flowing Light Clan on him. This was like a shackle, making White Light unable to keep his hands and feet unfettered.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "This matter is somewhat fishy. Might have to find a breakthrough point from this girl. Looks like we have to make a trip into the dungeon."


    White Light said with difficulty, "But the dungeons are heavily guarded. The clan has already strictly ordered me to not enter the dungeon to visit Xiao-er."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can this small matter stump your big brother? You just have to tell me the location of the dungeon. I naturally have ways to go in."


    ...


    At midnight, inside the White Tiger Clan''s dungeons, there was suddenly a subtle ripple in space. A figure directly walked out from within the void.


    This White Tiger Clan''s dungeons were indeed heavily guarded. Even underground also had array formations protecting, in order to prevent convicts from escaping.


    But this was nothing to the Ye Yuan who comprehended Heaven Man Unity.


    Heaven Man Unity Realm already touched the source of Great Dao. Mere array formations could not hinder Ye Yuan''s footsteps at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan''s figure had just appeared and several terrifying auras locked onto him!


    Clearly, his appearance shattered the deathly stillness of the dungeons.


    "Heaven Man Unity, merging into heaven and earth! Fine lad, to actually have such heaven and earth cultivation at a young age!" An icy-cold voice transmitted over as if coming from underworld.


    Ye Yuan could feel that when this voice appeared, the other few auras withdrew like tidewater, as if they had never appeared before at all.


    "I''m flattered. I''m here to look for someone. You guys carry on sleeping. Don''t come and interrupt this young master," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Hahaha, what an arrogant boy! However, you indeed have the capital to be arrogant! This old man has lived for several tens of thousands of years and wasn''t able to reach Heaven Man Unity Realm either. I really have no idea how you cultivate! Boy, let us make a deal." That icy-cold voice suddenly changed his tone.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not interested. Go to one side and play, don''t hinder this young master from handling matters!"


    Ye Yuan knew that this person''s cultivation was bound to be exceedingly high. But he also knew that inside this dungeon had terrifying restrictive powers.


    These guys looked scary, but it was all scaring people.


    "Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Do you really think that this old man can do nothing to you?"


    Suddenly, a terrifying aura transmitted out from the depths of the dungeon. A colossal soul force actually directly ignored the restrictions and unleashed an attack at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just chuckled coldly but did not even move a muscle.


    Using a divine soul attack to deal with him, this was purely seeking death himself!


    "ARGH!!"


    Indeed, a miserable cry transmitted over.


    That divine soul attack came quickly, and left even quicker!


    Under this one attack, the other party already sustained considerable injuries.


    It was also fortunate that the restrictions could cut off most of the soul force. Otherwise, at this time, the other party would not be able to avoid the outcome of his soul dissipating.


    With this, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed that the atmosphere inside the dungeons became somewhat different.


    Originally, when the rest saw that Ye Yuan was so arrogant, they all gloated over his misfortune.


    But at this time, inside each and every cell, waves of uneasiness were transmitted out distinctly.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Being well-behaved now? Who knows how many years you have been suppressed, you still want to come out and posture! Serves you right!"


    "Boy, who the hell are you? With your cultivation realm, how can you possibly block my divine soul attack?"


    That icy-cold voice sounded out again but had clearly weakened a lot. Very clearly, that attack earlier made him feel very awful.


    "Ao Qian, you punk really made progress! To actually muddle into the White Tiger Clan''s dungeon!" Right then, Long Teng''s voice suddenly sounded out.

 979 Bring You All Ou

    "You �� Who are you?! To actually know this seat''s name!"


    Ao Qian''s shock was by no means insignificant. He had already been locked up in the White Tiger Dungeon for no idea how many years. There was actually still someone who recognized him.


    Furthermore, most of the overtone in Long Teng''s words was ridicule, with somewhat the hint of looking down from high above.


    "This seat? Huhu, you punk, really showing no respect for your elders! In front of me, you actually dare to proclaim to be this seat too!"


    Long Teng''s voice sounded out nonchalantly but exuded limitless awe.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Don''t play tricks in front of me, Ao Qian! Who the hell are you?!" Ao Qian was a peerless powerhouse of his generation too. How could he be intimidated by one sentence?


    "You had no lack of suffering this seat''s Dragon Tempering Whip back then. Why did you �� forget it all now?" Long Teng said coolly.


    "You �� You are ��"


    Ao Qian''s expression could not be seen, but Ye Yuan knew that the expression on his face currently must be very fascinating.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that casually taking a trip into a dungeon, Long Teng could even bump into an old acquaintance.


    However, a powerhouse able to be in the same generation as Long Teng at least have to be several tens of thousands of years old too, right? Really have no idea how this Ao Qian survived.


    Actually, Ye Yuan also knew, the Divine Realm had some old antiques who never left seclusion. But all of them had their own means to hang in there with just a single breath, in order to persevere until Divine Dao descended once more.


    Upon breaking through to Deity Realm, a martial artist''s longevity would greatly increase. Living for ten thousand years was not a problem at all.


    "As long as you know, don''t need to say it out!" Long Teng opened his mouth and interrupted Ao Qian''s words.


    "M-Milord, Ao Qian did not think that you �� you''re actually still alive!"


    Virtually in an instant, Ao Qian''s pride disappeared completely without a trace. His words were brimming with respect.


    "You, a punk, didn''t even die, how would this seat die? Whatever you have to say, say it later. Ye Yuan came in to find a Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan girl. She was just imprisoned inside a few days ago. You should know where she''s being locked up, right?" Long Teng said.


    "Yes, milord. She''s in jail cell D.52," Ao Qian said.


    "En, now, be quiet for this seat. Your matters, talk again later," Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan found jail cell D.52 very quickly. Indeed, he saw a girl with delicate features being locked up inside the cell.


    Ye Yuan''s figure swayed, and actually passed right through the jail cell''s restrictions, and entered inside the jail cell.


    "You''re Fang Xiao?" Ye Yuan opened his mouth to ask.


    Fang Xiao curled up in a corner of the cell. Hearing Ye Yuan''s voice, she involuntarily raised her head to look at Ye Yuan. It was just that one could not see any hint of anger in her gaze.


    This Fang Xiao indeed gave people a feeling of unable to help to show tender care when one saw her.


    That instant when Fang Xiao''s gaze came into contact with Ye Yuan, her entire body suddenly trembled, her eyes gradually becoming absent-minded.


    "Now, I''ll do the asking, you''ll answer!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Fang Xiao was just like a puppet at this time. She nodded her head and said, "Yes."


    ...


    15 minutes later, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Girl, have a good rest. Things will be over very soon."


    Fang Xiao''s head slumped and she actually already became fast asleep.


    Ye Yuan''s figure swayed, and he already arrived outside of the jail cell.


    "Senior, what to do about that Ao Qian?" Ye Yuan asked Long Teng.


    It sounded like Long Teng''s and Ao Qian''s relationship was not shallow. Since they met, Ye Yuan naturally had to ask about Long Teng''s attitude.


    "M-Milord, I �� I beg you to take me away!" Ao Qian''s voice quivered as he said.


    "The White Tiger Dungeons was constructed in the Divine Dao Era. The restrictions inside are countless, and the power is incredibly strong. In my present state, I can''t save you at all," Long Teng said.


    "Does Your Excellency still remember the grudge back then? Ao Qian has always been Your Excellency''s follower! Back then when Your Excellency left, Ao Qian also got implicated before betraying them and escaped. Otherwise, why would I be imprisoned in this place that''s completely dark without sun for as long as 20 thousand years?"


    Ao Qian thought that Long Teng did not wish to bring him away and panicked all at once, saying what happened in the past.


    Long Teng mused for a moment and said coolly, "The matters back then are already clouds and mist that have come and gone. The White Tiger Dungeon is one of the most terrifying prisons in the Divine Realm. Even at my prime, I also dare not say to be able to rescue you away, let alone now."


    Ao Qian involuntarily choked up when he heard that. Who knew that Long Teng''s tone suddenly changed and he said, "However, I know someone who can save you!"


    Ao Qian froze, even his breathing became ragged: "Your Excellency is talking about �� this young man? How is that possible �� Even if he comprehended Heaven Man Unity, it''s also impossible to bring me out!"


    The restrictions inside this dungeon were extremely a lot. Although Ye Yuan was able to not touch the restrictions, Ao Qian could not.


    Once they trigger the restrictions, what they would have to face would be the entire White Tiger Clan''s pursuit!


    Even if Ye Yuan was any stronger, it would also not be possible to escape.


    "Huhu, whether you believe or not is up to you." But Long Teng showed neither approval nor disapproval.


    Ao Qian fell silent. He was already locked up inside this dungeon for 20 thousand years. At this rate, it was death sooner or later.


    There should be no way that Long Teng, as a dragon race''s senior, would bluff him.


    It was just that he could not figure out no matter what, how this young man could bring him out.


    "Y-Your Excellency! I''m willing to pledge loyalty to milord! Milord, please rescue me!"


    "Your Excellency, I''m willing too!"


    "A-And I!"


    Ao Qian was hesitating, but the rest already could not sit still anymore long ago.


    Each and every one of them was trapped here, lingering on with their last breath of life. In the end, they could only grow old and die inside the White Tiger Dungeon.


    Now, there was a chance. They would not bother about so much.


    Each and every one of these people begged Ye Yuan for help, making Ye Yuan fall silent.


    Taking revenge on Ji Canglan, this difficulty of this matter was indeed a little great just by relying on him alone. If he had a large faction behind him, it seemed like a pretty good option too.


    "Fine, I can bring you all away. However, as a condition �� you must submit under my rule!" Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said.


    With this, the entire dungeon seethed over.


    "Humph! A bunch of fools! It''s just a brat who''s still wet behind his ears, on what basis to bring you all away? Entering this White Tiger Dungeon, I''ve never seen people go out before! If the White Tiger Clan''s dungeon is so easy to get out, they would have long been exterminated already!" Right then, a discordant voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was one of the few divine senses spying on him earlier. His strength was likewise unfathomable.


    "A bunch of ignorant things. You guys also believe a snotty brat''s words! Don''t you forget, we''re all the White Tiger Clan''s felons. Want to escape the dungeon, don''t think about it in this lifetime!" Another voice sounded out.


    These two voices sounding out, those jubilant voices immediately died down. Very clearly, these two people''s status in the dungeon was likely second only to Ao Qian.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "In this world, there are too many things that you guys can''t imagine. Frogs at the bottom of a well, nothing more than so! I won''t do any boasting either, but when I can bring you guys away, I hope that you can still maintain this composure."


    Done talking, a ripple appeared in space. Ye Yuan directly vanished from inside the dungeon.

 980 Reversing Verdic

    On the third day, the White Tiger Clan''s elders council held the meeting as scheduled.


    The White Tiger Clan''s powerhouses filled the hall. Those present were all the Divine Realm''s apex figures.


    A candidate''s right being revoked was a major matter that involved the direction of the White Tiger Clan. The elders council would naturally have to take the matter seriously.


    The various clans'' patriarchs, elders council''s members, as well as the three candidates all had to be present.


    Rong Xin had a smile on his face, looking like his mood was pretty good. The other candidate, Wu Mo, had a calm look, seeming like everything had nothing to do with him.


    As for White Light, there was no joy nor sorrow on his face. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    On the left-hand side sat three old men. Each and every one of them was incomparably somber.


    "The objective of inviting everyone here, I believe everyone is aware. White Light secretly hid a Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s girl at the Flowing Light Clan, infringing upon the title of young patriarch candidate. Inviting everyone over today is to discuss the matter of revoking White Light''s candidate rights," said the old man sitting on the left-hand side whose hair and beard were all white.


    This person was the White Tiger Clan''s head elder, Rong Kun. His cultivation was unfathomable.


    When Rong Kun finished talking, the Crimsonflame Clan''s patriarch, Rong Yin, opened his mouth to say, "Head Elder, I feel that this matter doesn''t need to be discussed anymore. White Light colluded with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, the proof is conclusive. This young patriarch candidate rights mustn''t be given to him anymore. Furthermore, White Light''s origins are unclear. Although he has White Tiger Clan bloodline, God knows if he was groomed by the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan or not? In my view, throw White Light into the dungeons and interrogate carefully again!"


    "Rong Yin, your words are too much, right? Although the time White Light returned to the clan isn''t long, he achieved brilliant accomplishments in war! The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan had quite a few geniuses who died at White Light''s hands. Could it be that because of this one incident, it will negate so much of his contributions?" the Flowing Light Clan''s patriarch, Bai Jue said solemnly.


    Each of the White Tiger Clan''s branch had their own patriarch. But upon entering the totem territory, they would become members of the elders association, and were not to favor any clan.


    The elders council''s members were not many, but they were people who enjoyed high prestige and commanded universal respect. Furthermore, their statuses were extremely venerated and were even above the various clan''s patriarchs.


    Hence, those arguing now were all the various branches'' patriarchs.


    "Bai Jue, we all didn''t deny White Light''s meritorious services. But his identity has always been suspicious, you know this. I know that your Flowing Light Clan finally managed to find a junior with immense potential, that''s why you would cherish like so. But if he''s really sent by the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan? If he really becomes the young patriarch? Or he becomes the White Tiger Clan''s patriarch in the future? This consequence, can you bear it?" Wu Qian said. At this time, the Suppression Martial Clan''s patriarch, Wu Qian also spoke up.


    Bai Jue''s expression was very grim. Snorting coldly, he turned his head over and sulked.


    He also knew that the moment this elders meeting started today, White Light would be fraught with grim possibilities.


    But White Light''s actions truly made him rather mournful.


    These few days, he put in words of praises in front of each elder until his mouth ran dry, but the results yielded were still very little.


    This crime of having secret communications with their mortal enemy, nobody dared to risk universal condemnation. This sort of thing gave people too big of an opening.


    It was just that Bai Jue could not quite understand, White Light was clearly an extremely smart lad. Why would he be so foolish on this sort of thing?


    There were still some Divine King Realm branch patriarchs present. The opinions they expressed also mostly leaned towards White Light being guilty, even wanting to throw him into the dungeon.


    Bai Jue could only sigh unceasingly in his heart as well when he saw this.


    "Looks like the various patriarchs all don''t have any more objections regarding this matter of revoking White Light''s candidate rights. Little Light, do you still have anything to say for yourself?" Head Elder Rong Kun said.


    White Light''s face did not change as he said coolly, "White Light has a clear conscience!"


    "Haha, what an excellent have a clear conscience! I wonder how many of our secrets the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan already knows! Towards the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, you really have a clear conscience!" Rong Xin said with a cold sneer.


    White Light looked steadily ahead and did not even pay attention to him. Rong Xin could not help feeling stifled, like his punch landed on cotton, feeling very awful.


    Rong Kun stared at White Light and said with a sigh, "These few days, the few of us old fellows also gathered together to discuss many times. Honestly speaking, Little Light''s talent indeed surpasses others. Furthermore, he achieved quite a number of great accomplishments to his name and is indeed a strong contender for the next patriarch. However �� this matter concerns the White Tiger Clan''s rise and decline. We dare not be careless. Therefore, Little Light, your candidate rights ��"


    Bang!


    Head Elder''s words were said halfway when the great hall''s gates were suddenly kicked open by someone.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in with both hands behind his back.


    "Big Brother!" The moment White Light saw Ye Yuan, he immediately let out a sigh in relief.


    Ever since after Ye Yuan left the day before yesterday, he never came back. Although he knew that Ye Yuan would not abandon him to the wolves, his current emotions were also quite flustered.


    Since Ye Yuan appeared now, this matter definitely had a turn for the better!


    "Where did this brat come from, to dare be insolent in my White Tiger Clan!" Rong Yin berated.


    "This one is Ye Yuan, White Light''s big brother. The matter is urgent, the action of forcing open the door truly could not be helped. I hope that elders can pardon my offense," Ye Yuan said coolly neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    "Humph! To arbitrarily barge into the elders meeting, even an extremely big matter is also a capital crime! Furthermore, you''re just a human!" Rong Yin said with a cold snort.


    At this time, that old man with a benevolent countenance on the right of Rong Yin suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Junior, are you here for White Light''s matters?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Precisely so!"


    That old man slowly nodded and said, "Junior, arbitrarily barging into the elders meeting indeed has the issue of scorning my White Tiger Clan. If you''re unable to give a reason that utterly convinces us, even I can''t protect you either, understand?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "That''s of course. Elders just need to give me an opportunity to speak up will do!"


    That old man looked at Rong Kun and said, "What''s Head Elder''s opinion?"


    Rong Kun thought about it and asked Ye Yuan, "Could it be that this matter still has more than meets the eye?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Head Elder, that Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s girl did not show up earlier nor too late. She actually showed up right when the competition for the position of young patriarch was the most heated. Don''t you feel that it''s too coincidental? If White Light is secretly colluding with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, he also wouldn''t be foolish enough to hide an enemy inside the clan at this time, right?"


    Ye Yuan had a well thought out plan long ago. At this time, he spoke with confidence and composure, stating the suspicions in his heart.


    Rong Kun and the rest could not help getting lost in thoughts when they heard Ye Yuan''s words.


    Ye Yuan continued, "As a young patriarch candidate, it''s impossible for White Light to not know what consequences hiding a Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s member in the clan at this time would be. Therefore, this matter, White Light definitely did it very covertly. Probably even the Patriarch Bai Jue who regarded him very highly did not know. Then, who exposed this matter, making the entire White Tiger Clan all know?"


    Rong Yin''s expression changed. He did not think that at this critical juncture, a brat like this would pop out to stir up trouble.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    His face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "Even if you have a glib tongue, these are just your conjectures. But White Light secretly hiding the Heavenly Fiend Tiger girl is concrete proof!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a faint smile, "Want proof is it? Shuangzhou, bring them in!"


    Ruan Shuangzhou escorted two people into the great hall. When everyone saw these two people, their faces all changed drastically!

 981 Communications Array Formation

    "Dad!"


    Rong Xin quickly stood up, his gaze glued on the person Ruan Shuangzhou escorted in.


    One of them was none other than precisely Rong Xin''s father, Rong Ze!


    Rong Ze was just an ordinary clan member of the Crimsonflame Clan. His strength was passable but did not excel in an aspect.


    But a father became noble due to his son. Rong Xin''s rise made him become a figure with great power in the Crimsonflame Clan.


    Everyone did not expect that Ye Yuan actually captured Rong Ze over.


    With this, the matter became somewhat big.


    Rong Ze was restrained by Rung Shuangzhou. He was just like a dead dog at this time, unable to reply Rong Xin at all.


    "You''re courting death, Ye Yuan!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually dared to treat his father like so, Rong Xin was already burning with rage and could not care about the many elders present either. His entire person transformed into a streak of crimson red color, charging over towards Ye Yuan.


    A streak of flowing light flashed across. White Light already cut in front of Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    Under a blow, the two people each fell back several steps, evenly-matched in strength.


    But Rong Xin did not have the intention of stopping. He was just about to attack, but Rong Yin held him back.


    "Calm down, Rong Xin! If he can''t give a reason why, there will naturally be the elders standing up for you!" Although persuading Rong Xin, Rong Yin himself also looked incredibly grim.


    Rong Xin clenched his fists tightly, his entire body trembling, wishing he could kill Ye Yuan immediately.


    But Ye Yuan gave a look of indifferent and said coolly, "Now, can I speak?"


    Rong Yin said, "Go on. But �� you''re also aware that Rong Ze is Rong Xin''s father. You should know the consequences of this matter!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I was busy with this task for a day and night; it naturally wasn''t to bring the person in to seek death. These two people are in cahoots together, colluding with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger''s Elder Ling Ninehills, making arrangements to put Fang Xiao by White Light''s side, so as to make him lose all standing and reputation. This way, Rong Ze''s son, Rong Xin, would be able to have one less formidable opponent, and become young patriarch!"


    Ye Yuan''s simple few sentences shocked everyone to the core.


    Even more shocked was White Light. He did not think that Fang Xiao actually intentionally approached him. No idea why, his heart suddenly winced in pain, like it was hurt by something.


    Apart from Rong Ze, Ye Yuan still brought another person. And the other person was none other than precisely that Bai Hui''s father!


    The moment Rong Xin heard, he said in a stern voice, "Ye Yuan, you''re slandering venomously! Just based on a one-sided statement, you want to reverse the verdict on White Light''s behalf?"


    "Rong Xin, hold your horses. This matter is of utmost importance. If in the end, it''s proven that Ye Yuan is spouting nonsense, this seat will naturally return you justice."


    Done talking, Rong Kun turned to Ye Yuan again and asked, "Junior, you can''t make unfounded charges here. Do you have proof?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Flicking his sleeves grandly, a miniature array formation appeared before everyone.


    Rong Kun''s pupils constricted, and he said in astonishment, "Moving an array formation! Junior, what formidable means!"


    Moving an array formation was a very profound method in the formations path. One could set up a set of array formation beforehand, then store it inside a spatial magic artifact.


    When one required it, they could directly summon it from inside the spatial magic artifact, instantly forming an array.


    Although this miniature array formation before them was small, it was a Tier 9 array formation. Want to move it over, one must have the strength of a formations emperor.


    Ye Yuan was merely Phaseless Realm boundary, and he was actually able to transport a Tier 9 array formation. It was also no wonder that Rong Kun was shocked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder is too kind. Just an insignificant skill. This array formation was discovered beneath the earth of Rong Ze''s house. I found it and conveniently transported him over."


    Rong Xin said with a cold smile, "Just a communications array formation, what can it illustrate? You casually set up an array formation yourself, then transport it over, who would know?"


    This miniature array formation was a communications array formation. It was specifically used for transmitting messages, which was very convenient.


    If Rong Ze really secretly colluded with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, using this set of array formation to transmit messages was not an impossibility.


    It was just that even if this sort of thing was transported over, it did not have much persuasiveness either. After all, Ye Yuan could set up an array formation himself, then transport it over.


    "Ye Yuan, you aren''t thinking of making the elders convict Rong Ze''s crime by relying on a communications array formation that was transported over, right?" Rong Yin also said somberly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The array formation can be faked, but the messages inside the array formation can''t be faked! Isn''t that so, you guys?"


    Rong Yin''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "You �� You''re able to recover the contents of the communications array formation? This �� This is impossible!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think I should be able to do it."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Bai Jue they all roused their spirits up! While Rong Yin they all were taken aback with shock, if he really could recover the communication contents, then the problem would be blown up.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, both hands reaching out like phantoms, and started to handle the communications array formation.


    Everyone all held their breaths, staring fixedly at the communications array formation.


    Some people looked forward to some contents appearing on the communications array formation, while others did not hope for those contents to appear.


    But there was one thing, everyone''s hearts were all pounding away.


    Roughly 15 minutes later, the communications array formation suddenly lit up, and a row of words actually appeared!


    "The fish has already swallowed the bait, thanks again in the future! Ze!" This should be the last transmitted message.


    Rong Xin''s heart suddenly jolted, his entire person seemingly being drained. His two eyes were vacant and at a loss, plopping his bottom back onto the chair.


    At this moment, the atmosphere inside the great hall seemed exceedingly stifling.


    However, Ye Yuan''s actions had not ended yet. Very soon, a second message appeared on the array formation.


    "Eliminating in the name of collusion, daughter Fang Xiao is already on the way! Ninehills!" This was clearly the message sent back by that Elder Ling Ninehills.


    Following that messages after messages appeared on the array formation.


    The further back it went, the uglier the expressions on everyone''s faces.


    Especially Rong Kun and the others sitting on the left-hand side. Their faces were grim until it could almost drip water.


    Toward the back, the messages displayed on the communications array formation was already not related to White Light. Among them, apart from some normal communications, there were even quite a number of the White Tiger Clan''s secrets!


    Seeing these messages, how these elders felt could also be imagined.


    Bang!


    A table in front of Head Elder virtually turned to dust instantaneously.


    "Enough!" Rong Kun said fiercely.


    Ye Yuan knew that the fire was about ready. Hence, he stopped casting his spell. The light on the communications array formation abruptly dissipated.


    "Impossible! Impossible! This is impossible!"


    Rong Xin repeated over and over again, batted out of his wits. He did not think that his facther actually went to collude with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan for him!


    "Ye Yuan! It must be a trick you played! These messages were definitely all fabricated by you! Right, this was cooked up by you!" Rong Xin suddenly jumped up, as if he had discovered a new continent.


    This matter, Rong Xin himself was also kept in the dark. Right now, he was completely unable to accept such a fact.


    Therefore, what he could think of was that Ye Yuan was cheating!


    "Enough! Rong Xin, do you feel that we, these old fellows, are all blind?" Rong Kun''s icy-cold tone made Rong Xin feel as if he fell into an ice cellar.

 982 Displaying Strength

    These divine king experts of the elders council were not ordinary powerhouses.


    Their strength was unfathomable. Moreover, they lived to a ripe old age, and their experiences were out of the ordinary.


    Unless Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao level reached Deity Realm, otherwise, it was absolutely impossible to cheat under their noses.


    Rong Xin already lost his composure at this time and actually slandered Ye Yuan for cheating. Didn''t it imply the group of elders to be fools?


    "Head Elder, this ��"


    Rong Yin was also dumbfounded by this scene. He never would have thought that such a drama-like change would occur to the matter in the end, and actually did not know what to say for a moment.


    Rong Kun was worthy of being the head elder. He already calmed down at this time. Slightly heaving a sigh, he said to Rong Yin, "You bring Rong Xin back and watch over closely. As for Rong Ze and Bai Xu, throw the two of them into the dungeons first and guard closely. The disciplinary hall will be in charge of this matter. This matter will have to trouble you. You must interrogate and get to the bottom of it!"


    The Wu Xin on the left-hand side of Rong Kun nodded and said, "Rest assured, Head Elder!"


    Only after Rong Ze and Bai Xu were brought away, and Rong Yin left dejectedly too, did the group of patriarchs abruptly startled awake.


    The events that occurred today were simply too dramatic. They were clearly going to revoke White Light''s candidate rights, but why did it become the Crimsonflame Clan having secret communications with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan all of a sudden?


    These branch patriarchs all looked at Ye Yuan with looks of astonishment written all over their faces.


    This young man actually overturned the raging tides at the last moment!


    "All disperse!" Head Elder''s dignified voice sounded out. Everyone also did not dare to remain here, taking their leave one after another and leaving.


    While at this time, White Light did not have the slightest joy of post-victory. Instead, his entire person was in low-spirits. Clearly, the blow of Fang Xiao''s matter to him was very great.


    In the end, White Light was merely still a youth.


    He was different from Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was someone who had experienced a lifetime before. His mentality was much more mature compared to White Light.


    "Let''s go, maybe this matter isn''t as terrible as you imagine." Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and consoled.


    White Light smiled bitterly and said, "Don''t need to console me anymore, Big Brother."


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not say anything. At this time, the more one said, the more it would make people feel hurt.


    The two people were just about to leave, but Head Elder spoke up, "Ye Yuan, please wait."


    Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said with a smile, "Head Elder stopping me, it isn''t to punish me for the crime of treating the White Tiger Clan with contempt, right?"


    Ye Yuan checkmated first. Head Elder could only chuckle and said, "Things happen for a reason. This seat naturally isn''t that sort of narrow-minded person. This matter, this seat represents the White Tiger Clan to thank you instead. Count it as this seat owing you a favor. Two malignant tumors inside the clan, something major would happen sooner or later!"


    Ye Yuan snickered in his heart. This old man was actually playing word games with him.


    Him owing a favor and the White Tiger Clan owing a favor, these two were completely different.


    However, even a favor of Rong Kun''s was still a priceless treasure.


    Such a powerhouse was naturally not as powerful as the Ten Great Divine Kings. But his strength was also exceedingly terrifying.


    But Ye Yuan randomly stumbled upon and dug out the White Tiger Clan''s malignant tumors in order to save White Light this time. It was also considered an unexpected harvest.


    This one day''s time tired Ye Yuan out badly.


    Consecutively utilizing Heaven Man Unity and the power of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil virtually squeezed him dry.


    One had to know that even though Rong Ze and Bai Xu were not Divine King experts, they were late-stage Dao Profound Realm powerhouses too.


    If it was made public, it would be impossible for him to want to bring the people away, let alone talk about catching any proof.


    Ye Yuan could only bring the two of them away silently to not cause a disturbance.


    In between this naturally borrowed Ruan Shuangzhou''s power. But the exhaustion of the terrifying illusionary realm which he forcibly activated the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to lay down was also tremendous.


    Deploying the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil with Ye Yuan''s present strength, the burden on the body was immense. Especially dealing with Rong Ze and Bai Xu, this kind of powerhouses, it virtually depleted his soul force and essence energy.


    That was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, even if they obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, they would also be squeezed dry instantly.


    This was also why the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil would choose Ye Yuan to be the host.


    "Haha, a favor from Head Elder can''t be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold! Then, this Ye won''t be courteous," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a laugh.


    Head Elder waved his hand, but his expression darkened as he said, "Your move earlier, probably only a peak formation emperor would have such strength! Furthermore, you were able to capture Rong Ze and Bai Xu here without making a scene. This isn''t what the average person can do! Also, that divine king should be your servant, right? Your level of strength, this seat feels rather concerned!"


    Rong Kun was shrewd with age. Other people were all astonished by Ye Yuan''s methods, but he saw Ye Yuan''s extraordinary aspects.


    Other people would underestimate Ye Yuan because of his cultivation realm, thinking that he was harmless to man and beast. But Head Elder knew that Ye Yuan was absolutely not as simple as he displayed just by looking at the things he saw before his eyes.


    Leaving such a human in the White Tiger Clan, he had no choice but to guard against.


    These words he kept Ye Yuan behind to say was actually warning Ye Yuan, making Ye Yuan rein it in a little.


    Ye Yuan was perfectly clear. Probably after this, he would be in for the White Tiger Clan''s surveillance.


    But �� so what?


    Someone able to keep watch on him had not been born yet!


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Head Elder is worrying too much! White Light and I accompanied each other along the way. One can say that he was raised by me. His clansmen are my, Ye Yuan''s, clansmen! As long as White Light is still in the White Tiger Clan, I, Ye Yuan, will forever be the White Tiger Clan''s friend!"


    Rong Kun could not help choking up when he heard that. This punk actually turned around to threaten him.


    Ye Yuan''s words had a hidden meaning. He, Ye Yuan, would not do things detrimental to the White Tiger Clan. Of course, the prerequisite was that the White Tiger Clan was good to White Light.


    If someone was detrimental toward White Light, he, Ye Yuan would eliminate the other party without the slightest hesitation too!


    If it were other people, they would only just brush it over with a laugh towards a threat like this.


    But after Rong Kun witnessed Ye Yuan''s means, although he did not think that he posed any threat to the White Tiger Clan, this kind of opponent would absolutely give people a painful headache.


    "Huhu, then this seat hopes that we can keep on being friends," Rong Kun suddenly chuckled and said.


    "Haha, of course, of course!" Ye Yuan took his leave with a loud laugh, bringing White Light together and leaving.


    After Ye Yuan left, Wu Xin came beside Rong Kun and said solemnly, "This child is presumptuous!"


    This Wu Xin seemed to be a man of few words. But these four words already expressed his displeasure towards Ye Yuan.


    Head Elder chuckled, but asked the other one, "What do you think, Bai Yi?"


    Bai Yi stroked his beard and laughed as he said, "Immeasurable!"


    Rong Kun nodded his head and said, "This boy is indeed presumptuous. However �� he truly has the capital to be arrogant! What he did today, even you and I are also unable to do it to such a flawless degree! I think he might be deliberately displaying his strength to us, so as to make us attach importance to Little Light. If there''s a possibility, best to not become enemies with this child as far as possible."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

 983 Infiltrating

    Inside the White Tiger Dungeon, White Light looked at that delicate and sweet image, his heart in immense pain.


    "Big Brother Light, do it."


    Fang Xiao closed her eyes painfully, two rows of clear tears falling down from the corners of her eyes.


    Fang Xiao accepting it so readily caught White Light somewhat by surprise. Looking at her appearance, it seemed like she already had a realization long ago.


    White Light''s heart jolted fiercely, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don''t you plan on explaining a little?"


    Fang Xiao shook her head lightly and did not speak.


    White Light''s face turned grim, and he said coldly, "Fine. Since that''s the case, I''ll send you off personally!"


    White Light hardened his heart and suddenly reached out, grabbing towards Fang Xiao''s throat.


    All of a sudden, the space rippled. A figure appeared out of thin air, intercepting this grab of White Light.


    "Big Brother! What are you doing?" White Light said in confusion.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I already said, maybe the matter isn''t as terrible as you imagine. Isn''t that so, Miss Fang Xiao?"


    Fang Xiao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with fear.


    Two days ago, it was precisely this man who suddenly appeared inside the dungeons. Then, she disclosed everything that she knew in its entirety and did not have the slightest strength leftover to resist.


    Seeing Ye Yuan question, Fang Xiao turned her head over and said, "I don''t know what you''re talking about!"


    Ye Yuan patted White Light''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Still remember what Head Elder said, he owes me a favor?"


    White Light froze, but Ye Yuan said with a smile, "I already talked with Head Elder. This favor, I''ll use it to exchange for Fang Xiao."


    The moment these words were said, White Light''s and Fang Xiao''s entire bodies trembled.


    A favor from Head Elder, it was actually used to exchange for an enemy who schemed incessantly to frame White Light?


    White Light had been in the clan for a long time and was all too clear about how terrifying Head Elder''s strength was. A favor of his was truly hard to obtain with a thousand pieces of gold.


    But Ye Yuan actually used it so easily?


    "Big Brother, this �� Head Elder''s favor was too precious! Why did you �� why ��"


    "B-Big Brother, Fang Xiao only wishes for death!" Fang Xiao hesitated for a bit, but still followed White Light to call Ye Yuan big brother.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just a favor, if it''s used up, then it''s used up! As long as I''m willing, I can make the White Tiger Clan owes me a lot of favors! White Light, you should know my temperament."


    Being together with Ye Yuan for many years, White Light was naturally aware of Ye Yuan''s personality.


    As long as Ye Yuan treated the other party as a close kin, even if it was climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, he would not bat an eyelid either, let alone talk about a measly little favor.


    "But Big Brother, she ��" White Light''s gaze turned towards Fang Xiao, love and hatred intertwined in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Miss Fang Xiao isn''t as wicked as you imagine. She was also compelled against her will. This matter is hard to say finish in a sentence. We''d better talk again on the road."


    ...


    Watching Ye Yuan, Fang Xiao, and White Light, as their figures disappeared inside the transmission array, Bai Yi said to Rong Kun, "Head Elder, letting them go like this, aren''t you afraid of them running?"


    Rong Kun said with a smile, "Ye Yuan does things flawlessly. He brought Fang Xiao away but left behind that girl he came together with. Although he did not say it explicitly, it''s actually the intention of leaving her to be a hostage."


    "Ling Ninehills is a Divine King powerhouse. He''s not what the likes of Rong Ze''s strength can compare to. Could it be that Head Elder is so confident that he can bring Ling Ninehills back?"


    Although he was very optimistic about Ye Yuan too, bringing Ling Ninehills back, this sort of mission, it was still way too fantastical.


    Rong Kun shook his head and said, "Honestly speaking, I don''t have the least bit of confidence either. I don''t know where this boy''s confidence comes from, to dare accept such a mission! But I think that even if he''s able to complete the mission, the price paid likely wouldn''t be small either, right? For the sake of Little Light, he''s indeed pushing somewhat too hard!"


    Bai Yu sighed emotionally and said, "For Little Light to be able to encounter such a big brother, it''s truly good fortune of three lifetimes."


    ...


    Outside the Heavenly Fiend Tiger territory, Fang Xiao appeared rather nervous and timid.


    Although she was a Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s member, her memories here were not pleasant.


    The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan was totally different from the White Tiger Clan. This place was completely a place where the strong feasts and the weak were prey. The laws of survival were no different from primitive beasts.


    Fang Xiao''s bloodline power was very strong. But because she was born in a slave family, she was practically reared in a pen from young.


    Ling Ninehills planted very powerful restrictions on her and could control her life and death.


    Furthermore, Fang Xiao''s parents had always been treated as hostages and were imprisoned, to use to threaten Fang Xiao to do things for him.


    Receiving Ling Ninehills''s orders this time, she originally wanted to exploit White Light''s sympathy and make White Light save her. Then, let Bai Xu expose this matter.


    But even Fang Xiao herself also did not expect that she actually fell hopelessly in love with White Light just like this.


    And White Light similarly fell for Fang Xiao.


    But this kind of love that had no outcome made Fang Xiao feel as if a blade was being twisted in her heart. Choosing between her parents and White Light virtually tore her into two.


    Despair was the greatest sorrow. When she was locked up inside the White Tiger Dungeon, she already had the will to die.


    But she never would have thought that Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance actually made the entire matter take a turn for the better.


    "B-Big Brother Ye," Fang Xiao said timidly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just call me big brother the same as White Light. Now, tell me Ling Ninehills'' habits and customs no matter how important or trivial. Don''t omit even a scrap! We only have one chance. Once we startle the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s powerhouses, it will be very hard for us to escape!"


    Ye Yuan''s merger into heaven and earth was indeed very powerful, but it was not matchless either.


    Once he fell into a tight encirclement of divine king experts, even if Ye Yuan displayed merging into heaven and earth, he could not escape either.


    This move''s advantage lied in taking by surprise. Once the other party was prepared, it would not be fun anymore.


    Although Ye Yuan said it with a smile, these words made Fang Xiao alarmed inwardly. Right away, she did not dare to hesitate either, saying out all of Ling Ninehills'' habits and customs that she knew.


    And following Fang Xiao''s description, a map of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan also finished constructing in his mind.


    All preparations in place, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, but White Light held onto him and said with a conflicted look, "Big Brother, why not �� forget about it! I know that you''re doing it for my good, but the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s strength isn''t much weaker compared to the White Tiger Clan. It''s too dangerous!"


    White Light was not that ignorant person long ago anymore. How powerful a divine king expert was, he was very clear.


    Although Ye Yuan''s means were extremely a lot, once he entered the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s territory, it was an exceedingly dangerous thing too, let alone that he even wanted to capture Ling Ninehills, this divine king powerhouse, alive.


    This was simply an impossible to complete mission!


    Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "I say, you punk, when did you become so fussy and long-winded? Could it be that you can bear to watch Fang Xiao''s parents die just like this?"


    "This �� " White Light could not help becoming hesitant.


    "Alright, you guys enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda first. Leave the rest to me!" Ye Yuan said with a relaxed look.

 984 Dancing on the Edge of a Blade

    Inside an inner-chamber in the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan, the lamplight was dim.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ling Ninehills stood with his hands by the side, appearing very respectful.


    "Ninehills, your performance this time is very good! That Flowing Light Clan brat is indeed somewhat unusual. If we let him become the young patriarch, our Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan will likely be beyond hope in the future." Under the dim lantern light, a powerhouse whose face could not be seen clearly.


    White Light''s sudden emergence gave the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan a massive headache toe.


    These few years, the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan had quite a number of exceptionally talented geniuses all fall at White Light''s hands. This made their young generation''s strength suffer heavy losses.


    Ling Ninehills was overjoyed inwardly the moment he heard and hurriedly said, "Head Elder is too kind! Serving the clan is originally what people of our group should do!"


    Head Elder nodded and said, "Don''t worry, this seat won''t treat you shabbily. If you can use a ruse to bait and kill that White Light, the clan will award you a Profound Heaven Entering Void Pill."


    Ling Ninehills could not help freezing when he heard and was wildly elated in his heart.


    Reaching the Divine King Realm, ordinary medicinal pills could not enter their arcane sights at all. Only high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills could make them so visibly moved.


    However, each high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill was incomparably precious.


    Even a large clan like the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan would not anyhow take it out either.


    "Rest assured, Head Elder. With those two fools around, White Light will die eventually! Even if White Light can''t become young patriarch, he''s still an immense threat to Rong Xin. There''s no way Rong Ze that old fellow would sit idly by and watch indifferently," Ling Ninehills forcefully held back his agitation and said.


    Head Elder nodded his head and felt that Ling Ninehills'' analysis was very reasonable too. "This matter will be passed to you. If you need any help from the clan, feel free to ask me."


    Ling Ninehills bowed his body and said, "Yes!"


    Leaving the head elder''s secret chambers, Ling Ninehills'' mood was excellent. He wanted to return to his residence as soon as possible and contact Rong Ze that old punk. He wanted to ask about the situation over there.


    "Heh heh, I believe there''s already a conclusion over there. Placing that lass by my side and fostering her, I didn''t expect that it actually exchanged for a Profound Heaven Entering Void Pill. Truly an unexpected harvest! With it, making my way into the elders council isn''t an impossibility either!"


    Ling Ninehills was in high and vigorous spirits at this time, seemingly already seeing himself in control of the clan''s authority.


    However, as he walked, Ling Ninehills suddenly discovered that something was amiss.


    "En? Didn''t I walk by this path just now? Calculating based on the time, I should have reached long ago! Impossible! Could it be that I fell for an illusionary magic? But who has this ability to be able to cast an illusionary art on me in the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s territory?" Ling Ninehills said with a frown.


    Thinking about it, Ling Ninehills still felt that it was not possible.


    Even with Head Elder''s strength, it was also impossible to make him succumb to illusionary magic in the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan noiselessly.


    Hence, he carried on walking forward ��


    Ling Ninehills walked and walked, and he arrived at a concealed dungeon.


    He slowly opened the dungeon gates and walked inside. Two prisoners appeared in his sight.


    The moment those two people saw Ling Ninehills, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, "Lord Ninehills, we beg you to let our Xiao-er go! She''s still just a child!"


    However, Ling Ninehills did not reply.


    Suddenly, a figure appeared with a flash. Who could it be if not Fang Xiao?


    "Father, Mother! You �� You''re both alright! That''s really great!" Fang Xiao cried with joy, hugging the two people all at once.


    When Fang Xiao''s father and mother saw their daughter, they both had shock written all over their faces.


    Space rippled, and another three figures appeared.


    "Shuangzhou, quick! Restrain Ling Ninehills, I already can''t hold on anymore! We only have 10 breaths of time and must leave the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan at once! Leave at your greatest speed and strive for time for me to recover!" Ye Yuan spoke just like continuously firing a machine gun. Time was very pressing.


    Ruan Shaungzhou suddenly made a move and thoroughly sealed Ling Ninehills'' dantian.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, merging with heaven and earth could at most last for a hundred breaths of time.


    During this time, Ye Yuan even had to utilize the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil and unleash the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm. This was a tremendous challenge to him.


    Even with Ye Yuan''s incredible nerves, he could only persist for several dozen breaths of time at most as well.


    Fortunately, in this several dozen breaths of time, Ye Yuan found Fang Xiao''s parents through Ling Ninehills.


    Now that it had already succeeded, there was only waiting to retreat.


    But in reality, the truly dangerous moment only really arrived now!


    Currently, he already showed himself. There was at most still 10 breaths of time, and he would be discovered by the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s powerhouses. If he did not escape as soon as possible, they probably would not be able to escape anymore.


    Ruan Shuangzhou grabbed Ling Ninehills in his hands like dragging a dead dog. When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he directly put everyone away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, then used his final trace of essence energy and merged into heaven and earth.


    Except, merging into heaven and earth this time, Ye Yuan could not persist a long time at all.


    At this time, Ye Yuan already could not bother with arousing the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s attention. Merging into heaven and earth one time, Ye Yuan slowly arrived outside the totem territory, then was no longer able to move.


    But Ye Yuan already informed Ruan Shuangzhou before, after merging with heaven and earth, it would be up to him to bring everybody to escape.


    With Ruan Shaungzhou''s feet strength, it still needed a certain amount of time for the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s people to want to catch up.


    Ye Yuan directly entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda with a flash.


    "Big Brother, are �� are you alright?"


    Currently, Ye Yuan was spasming all over, cold sweat pouring profusely. His condition was very alarming.


    "M-Medicinal pill!" Ye Yuan used the last of his strength to say.


    White Light only abruptly came to a realization at this time. Ye Yuan already gave him the medicinal pills to restore essence energy and soul force beforehand.


    Right away, he no longer hesitated and hurriedly let Ye Yuan consume them.


    This time, Ye Yuan really reached the point where he could do no more. Not even a final trace of essence energy remained either.


    Merging with heaven and earth was indeed formidable, but it overly consumed essence energy. Adding in dealing with Ling Ninehills, this divine king powerhouse, Ye Yuan virtually depleted his soul force and essence energy dry at the same time.


    This sort of feeling was simply even more awful than dying.


    Following the medicinal pills entering his abdomen, traces of essence energy and soul force flowed into his body. Ye Yuan gradually stopped spasming. His ashen complexion finally recovered a trace of vitality.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly felt quite a number of auras, powerful until it made people asphyxiated, locking onto them from far away!


    One of the auras among them was far too powerful. Unless it was the Ten Great Divine Kings who made a move, otherwise, nobody could have a frontal clash!


    Ye Yuan was deeply aware of these divine kings'' might. The operation this time truly could be said to be dancing on the edge of a blade.


    But the matter progressing until now was still considered smooth-sailing. It basically acted out according to the script he directed prior to this.


    Now, they only had to escape to the White Tiger Clan''s territory and would have no worries about the rear anymore.


    He already came to an agreement with Rong Kun, making him receive them at the borders.


    Even if the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s elders were any more powerful, it was also not possible to pursue into the White Tiger Clan''s territory.


    "Young Master, the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan has an expert whose speed is extremely fast. With my feet strength, I probably can''t persevere to the White Tiger Clan''s borders and will be caught up by the other party!" Ruan Shuangzhou''s voice suddenly transmitted into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, giving everyone a shock.

 985 No Way Out!

    "Head Elder, who on earth was it? To actually be able to avoid our clan protecting grand array and restrictions, and to kidnap Ling Ninehills away?" a Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s elder asked Head Elder Pan Yin.


    Pan Yin sped like the wind while saying with a frown, "No idea! When he just left the totem territory, there wasn''t any aura ahead. Presumably, he has an extremely powerful spatial holy artifact. But looking from the aura, the other party is just an ordinary divine king and doesn''t seem to be very remarkable! Inform Ling Lixiao. Let him intercept ahead. Make sure not to let that person escape into the White Tiger Clan''s territory."


    "Yes!"


    What that elder asked earlier was precisely what he was perplexed by too.


    Ever since discovering that someone intruded into the totem territory, he discovered two auras from start to end.


    These two auras were both not very strong. That one ahead was just an ordinary divine king, while the aura previously was even only at the Phaseless Realm.


    He even wondered if he had a false impression.


    It was absolutely impossible for two people like this to hide from the clan protecting grand array and restrictions, and intrude into the totem territory and not be discovered by him.


    Yet, this matter happened just like this!


    Not only did it happen, he even let the other party abduct Ling Ninehills away from right under his nose!


    This sort of thing, he racked his head and could not figure it out either.


    Therefore, he still decided to catch up to the other party, and capture, and get to the bottom of it!


    Pan Yin was courageous, stemming from his superb skills and was naturally not afraid of Ye Yuan playing tricks. In the entire Divine Realm, a person who was able to make the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s head elder afraid had not been born yet!


    Even if the Ten Great Divine Kings came, he had the confidence to make a full retreat as well.


    Pan Yin displayed a secret art, and his speed suddenly exploded, turning into a stream of flowing light, speeding over in Ruan Shuangzhou''s direction.


    ...


    Although they were inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, White Light and Fang Xiao both sensed Head Elder''s horrifying pressure.


    White Light''s face was intensely grim, and Fang Xiao''s complexion was deathly pale.


    Fang Xiao gripped White Light''s sleeves tightly, clearly nervous to the extreme.


    "Big Brother Light, this person who chased after is definitely Head Elder! Apart from the patriarch, only he has such a terrifying strength!" Fang Xiao said tremblingly.


    White Light said in a solemn voice, "Don''t worry. With Big Brother around, it will be fine! Let''s be quieter, don''t disturb Big Brother''s recovery of strength!"


    Fang Xiao nodded her head obediently, not daring to make any more sound.


    The current Ye Yuan had long entered Heaven Man Unity Realm already. He revolved the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to the limits, frenziedly recovering essence energy.


    The more it was like this, the calmer and more terrifying Ye Yuan was.


    He was seizing every minute and second, making the best use of all of his time to recover strength. Even if Head Elder pressed on any harder, he was not swayed in the slightest either.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, an intense undulation actually occurred outside.


    Ruan Shuangzhou actually already engaged in battle with someone!


    "Not good! Outside of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s borders, there is actually still a divine king powerhouse hiding himself!" White Light''s expression changed drastically as he said.


    It was as if Ye Yuan did not sense the outside world''s happenings at all. He still recovered strength like nobody''s business.


    Heart Like Monolith, one could not be swayed by external things.


    Now that Ye Yuan already reached Heaven Man Unity heart realm, all of the outside world''s turmoil, he could utterly sever them.


    Outside world, Ling Lixiao got the news sent from the clan and immediately hurried back, but he just happened to block Ruan Shuangzhou right here.


    Ling Lixiao was just an ordinary divine king. His strength was not much different from Ruan Shuangzhou''s. Wanting to kill or capture the other party, that was something virtually impossible.


    However, his goal was to pin down Ruan Shuangzhou. When Head Elder rushed over, wouldn''t this person still allow himself to be captured without putting up a fight?


    But Ruan Shuangzhou had no desire to continue fighting and was anxious to get away. But with a divine king delaying at his side, his speed could not increase no matter what.


    With this, Head Elder''s horrifying pressure approached closer and closer. Ruan Shuangzhou was also panicking with anxiety.


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan did not stir in the slightest.


    The more anxious he got, the slower Ruan Shuangzhou''s speed became. He even nearly got hit by Ling Lixiao''s moves a number of times.


    "Ye Yuan, we probably can''t escape already. What should we do now?" Ruan Shuangzhou could not resist asking the Ye Yuan inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    What replied him was silence.


    Rumble!


    A horrifying aura suddenly descended. An aged figure stood in the air, thoroughly sealing off Ruan Shuangzhou''s exit.


    "Who are you, to actually dare provoke my Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan!" Pan Yin''s cold voice came over.


    Ling Lixiao also ceased his movements and stopped beside Pan Yin.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The current Ruan Shuangzhou was already a turtle in a jar. With Pan Yin around, he could not escape even if he had wings.


    The gears in Ruan Shuangzhou''s head spun, and he gave a bow towards Pan Yin and said, "Junior unintentionally transgressed and only accidentally ventured into your esteemed land. Junior will leave right away. I hope that Senior can give a way out, is it alright?"


    Ruan Shuangzhou was also a quick-witted person. He obviously knew that Pan Yin would not let him leave.


    Even abducted their divine king, still saying accidental intrusion?


    But at this point right now, Ruan Shuangzhou already had no other choice. Every little bit he could delay counted.


    If it were several months ago, Ruan Shuangzhou never would have thought that he would actually place his hopes on a Phaseless Realm even if he was beaten to death.


    But now, Ruan Shuanzhou knew that his only chance of survival rested on Ye Yuan.


    His relationship with Ye Yuan was about the same as Yuan Fei''s back then. He had his individual thoughts but had no choice. He had to submit under Ye Yuan''s command.


    But only ever since after he submitted under Ye Yuan''s command, did he know how terrifying the means Ye Yuan possessed!


    Indeed, Pan Yin laughed coldly when he heard that and said, "Is your esteemed self taking this old man to be a fool? Kidnapping Ling Ninehills, you''re probably sent over by Rong Kun that old dog, right? Looks like the matters over there was exposed and fell through! It''s just, I''m very curious. How in the world did you sneak into the totem territory? Of course, you can also not tell, but this old man will have ways to make you say it out."


    Ruan Shuanzhou had a helpless look as he said, "Junior really don''t know what you''re talking about! This one is just a run-of-the-mill human martial artist, why would I be sent here by the White Tiger Clan? You all lost your men, you can''t very well randomly find a person to shoulder it, right? This is also too unreasonable!"


    Pan Yin''s eyes narrowed, and he said with a faint smile, "Looks like you''re dragging the time! But I''m very curious. Could it be that you still have other means to escape this old man''s palms? Or perhaps �� it''s that Phaseless Realm junior you came together with? Honestly speaking, this old man is really quite curious about you guys."


    Pan Yin was shrewd with old age, how could he not perceive Ruan Shuangzhou''s little thoughts?


    But he was not worried either. He very much wanted to take a look at what means the other party had.


    To be able to sneak into the totem territory so imperceptibly, one either had a heaven-defying treasure or had a heaven-defying skill.


    Regardless which was it, it could become the ace-in-the-hole to bring down the White Tiger Clan. How could he not be moved?


    "Shuangzhou, you did very well. Leave the rest to me!"


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared.


    When Ruan Shuangzhou saw Ye Yuan, he was firstly overjoyed, following that, he was alarmed inwardly and said, "Young Master actually �� broke through!"

 986 Land of Ancestral Spirits!

    Prior to this, Ye Yuan was still First Level Phaseless. Entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda and circling one round, he became First Level Phaseless.


    Although breaking through a minor cultivation realm did not make much of a difference to the present situation, it still gave Ruan Shuangzhou a shock.


    "En, I didn''t think that after being squeezed dry, I actually took advantage of the opportunity and broke through," Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said nonchalantly.


    But opposite of them, when Pan Yin saw this scene, he was unbelievably shocked.


    He could tell that Ruan Shuangzhou and Ye Yuan entered a soul contract.


    A Divine King Realm powerhouse was actually serving a Phaseless Realm person as his master? With such extravagance, he at least came from a super holy land!


    In an instant, Pan Yin connected to many things in his mind.


    If the White Tiger Clan and a human super holy land were in collusion, then the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan would be in danger!


    Looks like he must make this young man stay!


    Ye Yuan did not think that the scene earlier actually strengthened Pan Yin''s resolve to make him stay.


    "Junior, are you surrendering without putting up resistance, or are you going to make this old man take action?" Pan Yin said coolly.


    Since he caught up, it was absolutely impossible to let Ye Yuan escape, even if Ye Yuan''s measures were immensely formidable!


    This was the confidence belonging to a peak divine king!


    Ye Yuan gave a faint smile and said, "If you have the capabilities, feel free to chase after and give it a shot!"


    Pan Yin had yet to react in time when Ruan Shuanzhou vanished with a whoosh. Ye Yuan''s figure was also like a moon''s reflection in the water; gradually vanishing before Pan Yin!


    Seeing this scene, Pan Yin''s and Ling Lixiao''s expressions changed drastically at the same time!


    "Heaven Man Unity! How is this possible?!" Ling Lixiao cried out in shock.


    Head Elder''s face fell, and he said, "Chase after!"


    Ye Yuan did not escape in the direction of the White Tiger Clan. He could sense that Pan Yin already locked down all of the surrounding space.


    Even if he merged with heaven and earth, Pan Yin was able to force him out too.


    A peak divine king''s understanding of Heavenly Dao was extremely deep and far from what ordinary divine kings could compare to.


    Merging with heaven and earth in front of ordinary divine kings, one could escape brazenly without fear of anything! But facing a peak divine king, one could not!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not run in the direction of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan either. That was walking right into a trap.


    Hence, he chose to flee in the direction of the two people.


    Head Elder never dreamed that Ye Yuan''s trump card was actually merging with heaven and earth.


    With this moment of hesitation, Ye Yuan already scurried out several tens of thousands of miles away.


    But Head Elder already used divine sense to lock onto Ye Yuan long ago. Although he was a step late, he followed closely behind and would not fall behind too much either.


    As for Ling Lixiao, he could only eat the dust behind.


    Although Head Elder could not merge with heaven and earth, his speed was not the least bit slower compared to Ye Yuan.


    The two people, one chased, one ran. In an instant, they were a million miles away.


    While chasing, Head Elder was still endlessly shocked in his heart at the same time. Heaven Man Unity, this sort of heart realm, had already not appeared in the Divine Realm for God knows how many years.


    Even with his vast experience, he also did not imagine that this heart realm actually appeared on a 20 over years old young man.


    "What in the world is this boy''s background? Luckily, I chased after him. Otherwise, who can make this boy stay? No wonder it was only that divine king escaping earlier. Looks like this brat depleted his essence energy in order to sneak into the totem territory previously."


    As Pan Yin''s imagination ran wild, the two people already ran God knows how far out.


    Head Elder''s strength was immense in the end. His speed was actually still that tiny bit faster than the Ye Yuan who merged into heaven and earth!


    The distance between the two people was gradually shrinking.


    "Boy, even if you comprehended heaven man unity, you absolutely can''t escape either!" Pan Yin urged his voice with essence energy, transmitting directly into Ye Yuan''s ears.


    "Old man, if you have the capabilities, chase after and see!" Not the slightest hint of panic could be heard from Ye Yuan''s voice. It even had hints of ridicule.


    When Pan Yin heard Ye Yuan''s voice, he suddenly had a foreboding premonition.


    All of a sudden, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed drastically, and he said, "Not good! This direction, is it possible that he wants to enter the land of ancestral spirits? Damn it! It must be Fang Xiao that little lass who gave him the idea! No can do, I have to think of a way of stopping him from entering!"


    Pan Yin''s guess was correct. Ye Yuan''s destination was precisely the land of ancestral spirits.


    Before Ye Yuan came out, he asked Fang Xiao what places within this Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s boundary that even divine king powerhouses did not dare to go.


    And the answer Ye Yuan got was the land of ancestral spirits.


    The land of ancestral spirits was the place where the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan housed the memorial tablets of ancestors. Inside had an incomparably powerful tomb guardian.


    Under the circumstances where no permission was allowed, even if the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s patriarch entered inside, he would be blotted out too!


    It was not that the tomb guardian already reached Deity Realm, but the tomb guardian could borrow the strength of the ancestors'' spirits in the land of ancestral spirits.


    This sort of power was very strange. All in all, even the patriarch would be fraught with grim possibilities when entering inside too.


    When Ye Yuan heard of the land of ancestral spirits, he decided to go in without another word.


    At this point, wanting to return to the White Tiger Clan according to the original route was already something impossible.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan decided on the spot and directly merged with heaven and earth, and attempted to enter the land of ancestral spirits.


    A powerhouse like Pan Yin was still not what the current Ye Yuan could contend with.


    Although entering the land of ancestral spirits was dangerous, there was still a ray of hope. But if he landed in Pan Yin''s hands, that was certain death without the possibility of survival.


    The land of ancestral spirits was not too far away from the totem territory. Ye Yuan deliberately took a big detour before aiming for this place. So right at the beginning, Pan Yin did not realize it as well.


    Space rippled, and Ye Yuan''s figure emerged with a flash.


    Ahead were two enormous pitch-black statues of ferocious tigers. A terrifying aura faintly exuded from within.


    Behind the statues was a massive mausoleum! This was the land of ancestral spirits!


    "Who is it, to dare have the audacity to arbitrarily barge into the land of ancestral spirits! Why haven''t you obediently allowed yourself to be captured without putting up a fight?!"


    A large group of martial artists suddenly came out. Ye Yuan swept a glance over. They were actually all Dao Profound Realm martial artists. Those powerful ones were even late-stage Dao Profound Realm!


    But these Heavenly Fiend Tiger clan members were nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    "Shuangzhou, go and take care of them. Let''s enter the land of ancestral spirits!"


    "Yes, Young Master!"


    Ye Yuan let Ruan Shuangzhou out. When they saw a divine king powerhouse suddenly show up opposite, it was as if each and every one of them were facing a formidable enemy.


    Ruan Shuangzhou did not hesitate either and immediately started massacring without restraint akin to a tiger entering a flock of sheep.


    The reason why divine kings were divine kings was that their disparity with ordinary Dao Profound Realm was too great!


    Even an Eighth Level Dao Profound powerhouse was too weak to stand up to competition in front of a divine king too


    Very soon, Ruan Shuangzhou slaughtered out a bloody path.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, following Ruan Shuangzhou, he was about to enter the mausoleum.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But right at this time, a terrifying aura came over from an extremely far-away place.


    "Heavenly Fiend Secret Art, Tiger Roar Shaking the Firmament! ROAR!!"


    Pan Yin gave a long howl. An incomparably powerful sound wave directly pierced through the void and assailed over towards Ye Yuan accurately.


    "ARGHH!!"


    Those Heavenly Fiend Tiger clan members were not dead yet. However, areas where this sound wave passed by, each and every one of them bled from all orifices and were actually forcefully shocked to death.


    Ye Yuan''s countenance changed, and he took out the Heavenly King Bell without any hesitation. Right hand, the Sacred Dragon Token was already in his hand, directly smashing down onto the Heavenly King Bell ...


    ???

 987 The Mystery of White Lights Ancestry

    Gong ��


    The Heavenly King Bell being smashed by the Sacred Dragon Token, a terrifying undulation immediately spread out. Two sound waves instantly intertwined together!


    Rumble!


    Places where the sound waves intersected, massive rocks were crushed into fragments. Trees were also pulverized into dust.


    In the air, the smell of dust filled the air everywhere.


    Pan Yin was still far away, but his expression became fearful.


    Ye Yuan''s sound wave attack was actually able to stand up to him as equals!


    Furthermore, just now, he distinctly sensed a trace of an extraordinary undulation!


    "Go!" Ye Yuan forcefully endured his internal injuries and entered the land of ancestral spirits together with Ruan Shuangzhou.


    That attack earlier, Ye Yuan used a trace of divine essence. Otherwise, there was no way to contend with Pan Yin''s sound wave attack at all.


    Pan Yin''s senses were extremely acute, and he still discovered a hint of inkling.


    "This boy is truly too strange!" Pan Yin said with a somber look.


    Right then, several streaks of flowing light streaked across the horizon. Quite a number of divine kings only rushed over now.


    Seeing Head Elder''s overcast look, the group of divine kings did not dare to speak out of turn.


    Very clearly, even when Head Elder made a move, he did not manage to hold this young man back too!


    Each and every one of them exchanged glances. All saw the look of shock in the other party''s eyes.


    Head Elder''s strength was unfathomable. Dealing with a Phaseless Realm brat, he actually did not succeed!


    "This child definitely has a massive secret on him. We must capture him alive! Return to the clan and invite array masters over, make them seal off the space in this vicinity. Additionally, five people stay behind and guard the mausoleum''s entrance. Must not let him escape! You all must not lower your guard! This child comprehended the realm of Heaven Man Unity and is able to merge with heaven and earth. Even a divine king powerhouse might not be able to make him stay either! I''ll go back and discuss with the patriarch and consider sending people into the land of ancestral spirits!" Head Elder instructed.


    These few divine kings were eating dust behind the entire time and completely did not know what happened earlier.


    Hearing Head Elder say it at this time, everyone was endlessly shocked in their hearts.


    No wonder even Head Elder suffered a setback too! This boy actually comprehended Heaven Man Unity!


    Pan Yin still had something that he did not tell. Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.


    Actually, Pan Yin suspected that Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in possession!


    To be able to contend with his Tiger Roar Shaking the Firmament, furthermore, that trace of bizarre undulation, it aroused Pan Yin''s suspicions.


    Therefore, Pan Yin would not let Ye Yuan leave no matter what.


    ...


    Entering the land of ancestral spirits, Ye Yuan finally could not hold it back, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    His strength was too weak after all. Head Elder''s sound wave attack was sufficient to exterminate ordinary divine kings too. But Ye Yuan relied on the might of a divine artifact and forcefully resisted an attack from him.


    Of course, he was still considerably wounded with this.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was extremely powerful. This bit of injury did not pose much of a threat to him.


    Ye Yuan let Ruan Shuangzhou guard him. After recuperating for a while, he was already no longer in danger.


    Ye Yuan''s Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was already cultivated to an extremely high level. This bit of injury was naturally a cinch.


    Speaking of which, it was strange too. Ye Yuan seemed to accomplish it with extremely high proficiency when he cultivated the dragon race''s cultivation methods.


    The dragon wave was like so, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was like that, the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was similarly like this.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Fang Xiao brought her parents and prostrated on the ground.


    "Big Brother Ye, Xiao-er''s family''s life was saved by you. Xiao-er is endlessly grateful. But in order to save my parents, I''ve made Big Brother Ye fall into a dangerous situation. Xiao-er is seized with fear and worry. If there are areas where you need Xiao-er, please feel free to instruct," Fang Xiao said agitatedly.


    Fang Xiao''s parents clearly knew about the sequence of events already as well and were similarly endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.


    White Light did not say anything, but his feelings of gratitude were not any lesser than Fang Xiao''s. It was just that the feelings between him and Ye Yuan were too deep. There was no need to say these courteous words.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Miss Xiao-er, don''t need to be like this! White Light''s and my feelings, I believe you''ve seen it too. Since you guys have mutual affection, then your matters are my matters. If it were White Light, he would similarly be like this too. If you really feel anything, then just be together with White Light well, and it will also be considered repayment to me."


    The moment these words came out, Xiao-er and White Light''s faces both turned red.


    But Fang Xiao still nodded firmly and said, "Xiao-er will!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No need to speak anymore about this matter. Want to really thank me, got to get out of the sticky situation before talking too. We''ve already entered the land of ancestral spirit. The dangers here are not any bit lesser compared to outside. We''d better quickly think of ways to get out. I''m also not very at ease about Li-er there."


    Although Ye Yuan felt that Rong Kun there should not do anything to Li-er, the more people, the more diverse the voices. If he returned late, it was hard to avoid that something unforeseen would happen.


    When White Light heard that, he could not resist saying, "Big Brother, sorry!"


    Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "You punk, at it again, aren''t you? This place is the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits. White Light, you go out together with me. Perhaps there will be another fortuitous encounter."


    White Light nodded his head and went out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda together with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan and White Light, the two people walked towards the depths of the land of ancestral spirits. Along the way, they did not run into much danger.


    On the left and right side of the tomb, there were a number of rock caverns. Tablets were placed one after another before the rock caverns. On them wrote the names of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s powerhouses through the ages.


    "Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s no. 768th generation patriarch, Ling Aotian''s memorial tablet!"


    "Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s no. 768th generation head elder, Pan Yu''s memorial tablet!"


    "Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s no. 767th generation ��"


    On the memorial tablets, it should be recorded down in sequence.


    But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that each and every one of those rock caves actually gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    "Looks like those able to be buried in the land of ancestral spirits are at least peak Divine King level too. The rest probably only can pass away in meditation outside," Ye Yuan sighed with vicissitudes of emotion.


    White Light did not speak the entire time. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, "Big Brother, don''t know why, this place gives me a very familiar sensation! I feel like I seemed to have returned to a mother''s embrace!"


    White Light''s words made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Those in the Divine Realm all knew that the White Tiger Clan and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan were mortal enemies. Generations of mutual killing already sowed an indelible enmity.


    But why would White Light have this sort of strange feeling when he came to the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirit?


    Ye Yuan did not doubt White Light''s feeling. His ancestry was very odd. Furthermore, his divine beast bloodline was extremely strong.


    Since he had this sort of feeling, that meant that White Light and the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan might really have significant ties!


    Could it be that White Light''s predecessor actually originated from the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But why would White Light have the White Tiger Clan''s bloodline in him too?


    White Light this little white tiger was similarly an enigmatic existence.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something. Looking at White Light, he said, "White Light, you wouldn''t �� possess the White Tiger Clan and Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s bloodline at the same time, right?"


    White Light had a confused look when he heard. Shaking his head, he said, "I don''t know either! But I''ve fought a number of times with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan too and didn''t feel that I have any similarity with them!"

 988 Perfect White Tiger Physique

    Hearing White Light said this, Ye Yuan had a confused look again.


    White Light was really a strange species. His bloodline was clearly ridiculous powerful, but one just could not exactly identify his lineage.


    Of course, want to say what it was most alike to, it was still the Flowing Light White Tiger Clan.


    "Mm? Big Brother, you look between this no.764 and No.766, it''s actually missing a memorial tablet. Could it be that this generation''s Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s patriarch unexpectedly lost his life?" White Light said curiously.


    Ye Yuan took a look. It was indeed like so.


    Logically speaking, a powerhouse at the level of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s patriarch, unless a major unforeseen event happened in the clan, otherwise, it was simply impossible for a situation where he perished unexpectedly to occur.


    "That generation''s patriarch didn''t perish by accident, but left the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and never returned."


    The voice that came suddenly made Ye Yuan and White Light jump in fright.


    "Who is it?!" Ye Yuan said with a solemn face.


    With his strength, he actually did not even realize that somebody approached. How could this not shock him?


    A middle-aged man dressed in white robes slowly walked out from the depths of the mausoleum and arrived in front of Ye Yuan and White Light.


    "You''re the �� tomb guardian?" Ye Yuan asked.


    He heard Fang Xiao say before that inside this land of ancestral spirits had a tomb guardian with extremely powerful strength. Looking at it now, it was this middle-aged man in front of them.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    As for this middle-aged man''s depths, Ye Yuan actually could not fathom it!


    But the white-robed middle-aged man did not answer Ye Yuan''s words. He said with a tranquil look, "Dragon race royal bloodline, Heaven Man Unity Realm, a pity that �� your cultivation realm is a little low. However, the Sacred Dragon Token has already disappeared for over 100 thousand years. I didn''t expect that it actually landed in your hands! Looks like you, this young man, might have shouldered the mandate of heaven!"


    Each word that the white-robed middle-aged man spoke, Ye Yuan would be a degree more shocked in his heart.


    It seemed like in front of this white-robed middle-aged man, he was actually like a transparent person!


    But fortunately, the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, this middle-aged man did not see through. Otherwise, Ye Yuan would really be stark naked in front of him.


    "Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Who the hell are you?!" White Light said with a cold snort.


    He was incredibly astounded in his heart too. The secrets on Big Brother was actually seen through by this person with one glance.


    But the white-robed middle-aged man did not reply. He turned his head toward White Light again and sized him up carefully. It was as if he was admiring a work of art!


    Even with White Light''s nerves, he also broke out in goosebumps all over being looked at by him.


    "Not bad! Really not bad! Even in the Divine Dao Era, a Perfect White Tiger Physique has never appeared before either! I didn''t expect that in the current age of declining laws, it would actually still give birth to a perfect White Tiger Physique!" the white-robed middle-aged man praised with admiration.


    White Light listened until he was all confused. But he also discerned that he seemed to be of a very remarkable White Tiger Physique.


    But the Ye Yuan by the side trembled from head to toe. He opened his eyes wide and looked at White Light in disbelief.


    "Perfect White Tiger Physique! It''s actually a Perfect White Tiger Physique! I''m really stupid to the extreme! I should have thought of it long ago!" Ye Yuan raised his head and stomped his feet as he said.


    White Light was even more bewildered as he said, "Big Brother, what on earth are you guys talking about? What in the world is a Perfect White Tiger Physique?"


    The white-robed middle-aged man looked at Ye Yuan profoundly, clearly rather surprised as he said, "You actually know about the Perfect White Tiger Physique. I even thought that only we, the lineage of the Four Great Divine Beasts'' tomb guardians, would know this sort of Divine Realm''s secret!"


    The Perfect White Tiger Physique, Ye Yuan saw it in an ancient record as well. It was just that the description regarding the Perfect White Tiger Physique on it was hesitant and vague as well. Therefore, Ye Yuan did not think of it at all.


    In reality, Ye Yuan also did not dare to imagine that White Light was actually of the legendary Perfect White Tiger Physique!


    "Although the Four Great Divine Beasts'' branches are numerous now, countless tens of thousands of years ago, they had common ancestors: the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Vermilion Bird of the South, and the Black Tortoise of the North! In the beginning, the Four Great Divine Beasts did not refer to a race, but �� referred to these four terrifying Deity Realm powerhouses in particular. The four of them, who were also the present Four Great Divine Beasts clans'' first ancestors, were also genuine pureblooded four divine beasts bloodline. The four great divine beasts after them, although they were also called the four great divine beasts, in terms of bloodline purity, they were far from comparable to their earliest ancestor. And among them, there''s a type of physique that is the closest to a purebred four divine beasts bloodline, they are called the Perfect Four Symbols Divine Beast Physiques!" Ye Yuan spoke with fervor and assurance.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s explanation, White Light jumped in fright too.


    "Big Brother, you''re saying that �� I''m of the Perfect White Tiger Physique among these Perfect Four Symbols Divine Beast Physiques?" White Light said in amazement.


    Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, "I only saw these few words on an ancient record too. As for whether you are or not, I don''t dare to confirm as well. But hearing the meaning in his words, you should be it."


    The white-robed middle-aged man said with a faint smile, "If he isn''t of the Perfect White Tiger Physique, do you think that you guys can still stand here and talk properly?"


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling stifled when he heard that. The might of this white-robed middle-aged man''s strength was indeed what he rarely saw in all his life.


    Ye Yuan did not dare to guarantee that even a Ten Great Divine King-class powerhouse could definitely win him either.


    Perhaps inside this land of ancestral spirits, this person was even stronger than the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    With Ye Yuan''s experiences, he was also unaware that within the Divine Realm actually still had such a powerful existence.


    "However, isn''t this the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits? What''s with him having the Perfect White Tiger Physique got to do with you?" Ye Yuan said huffily.


    The tomb guardian said with a cold snort, "This place isn''t the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits, but the White Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits! The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan is merely a branch of the White Tiger Clan! At present, it''s an age of declining laws. Us tomb guardians can''t be bothered with these things either. Therefore, we begrudgingly allowed the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s powerhouses to enter the land of ancestral spirits to pass away in meditation before death."


    "What?! The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan is a branch of the White Tiger Clan? How is that possible?!"


    White Light nearly jumped up when he heard such a secret.


    One had to know that the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and the White Tiger Clan had been mortal enemies starting from the Divine Dao Era. The two great tiger clans had already slaughtered each other for who knows how many years.


    But now, the tomb guardian said that the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan was a branch of the White Tiger Clan. How could this not shock him?


    The tomb guardian said disdainfully, "What''s impossible about it? The dragon race has a saying called, the dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with a different name. Actually, how isn''t the White Tiger Clan just like that? If the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan isn''t a branch of the White Tiger Clan, what right do they have to stand up to the current White Tiger Clan as equals for so many years? Your branch cracked themselves up to be orthodox. Actually, they are also merely just a branch lineage of the first ancestor! I won''t talk about you, but the other clan members, their bloodlines are just incomplete!"


    White Light sucked in a cold breath. The things he heard today subverted his understanding all along.


    Actually, it was not just him, even Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked too.


    Ye Yuan could absolutely be counted as well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, but had never heard before as well that the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and the White Tiger Clan were actually of the same source!

 989 Divine King Domain

    Forget about Ye Yuan an outsider, even the White Tiger Clan''s own people probably never thought of this possibility either.


    The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan had never considered themselves to be of the White Tiger Clan. Furthermore, the two sides'' legacies were also vastly different. Nobody could have thought that these two clans were actually one family countless years ago.


    "Boy, you come with me!" the tomb guardian suddenly said to the White Light still in the midst of shock.


    White Light became absent-minded and said to Ye Yuan, "Big Brother, let''s go!"


    The two people were just about to move when the tomb guardian suddenly turned his head around and said, "You come, he stays! How can the White Tiger Clan''s matters be known by an outsider!"


    White Light''s face fell, and he said unhappily, "There have never been any secrets between Big Brother and me! If Big Brother is not going, I''m not going anymore either!"


    With the relationship between White Light and Ye Yuan, the tomb guardian actually made Ye Yuan wait outside, he naturally had a hundred objections.


    The tomb guardian''s face fell, and he said, "Although you''re of the Perfect White Tiger Physique, you have yet to reach one-ten thousandth regarding the development of the White Tiger Physique! Do you know what kind of good fortune I''m giving you by bringing you inside?"


    White Light said coolly, "Big Brother and me advance and retreat in unison. If Big Brother isn''t going, even if you''re letting me advance to Deity Realm, I don''t give a damn either!"


    Ye Yuan did not make a sound by the side. He naturally hoped for White Light to become stronger. But he was even more aware that persuading White Light at this time had no use at all.


    If it were him, he would do so as well.


    "Unbelievably foolish!" The tomb guardian was badly angered by White Light''s stubbornness and said with a cold snort, "If I forcefully bring you inside?"


    But White Light did not have the slightest bit of fear and said with a snicker, "Then maybe, you and I will have to have a battle!"


    The tomb guardian laughed from extreme fury and said, "Heh, what high-sounding sentiments! This brat indeed has quite a number of trump cards. But using to deal with me, it''s far from enough!"


    His words were naturally said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s so-called trump cards, he had seen through with a glance.


    These things were very terrifying to the outside world. But to him, there was nothing to be scared of at all.


    Of course, it was still due to Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm being too low.


    If Ye Yuan was Divine King Realm, even if he was anymore arrogant, he would not dare to utter such words either.


    "Huhu, I''m also very curious just what kind of strength a tomb guardian has!" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    "Looks like the two of you both think highly of yourselves! Not making you guys suffer hardship, you won''t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    The tomb guardian''s face turned cold. A faint aura instantly spread out.


    This aura was completely different from Head Elder''s shocking momentum. It had a kind of noiseless and quiet feel.


    But it was precisely because so that it seemed even more terrifying!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    All of a sudden, the two people''s surroundings became pitch-black, unable to see one''s fingers when extending one''s hands.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed as he said, "Divine King Domain!"


    The tomb guardian said with a laugh, "You, boy, are really quite knowledgeable! At present, in the Divine Realm, the people able to display a Divine Realm Domain can be counted on one''s fingers. I didn''t expect that at your young age, you actually even know this! This is the Darkness Domain. It can engulf everything, including essence energy and soul force! White Light boy, as long as you cultivate with me, this will be effortless to you."


    At this point, the tomb guardian still did not forget to use the darkness domain to tempt White Light.


    But White Light was not the least bit moved. He said with a cold smile, "Just a darkness domain, I don''t believe that without you, this young master can''t learn it!"


    Ye Yuan also said with a faint smile, "Just a darkness domain. You''re also looking down on us brothers too much!"


    The tomb guardian could not help feeling stifled. He was actually being belittled by two juniors!


    "Then let you guys experience what''s called domain power!" The tomb guardian''s face turned cold, directly merging into the darkness.


    The so-called domain power was actually after comprehending concepts to a certain boundary, grasping the power of laws within a certain radius, and forming a small-scale domain.


    Inside this domain, the martial artist themselves were the absolute sovereign!


    The current Ye Yuan and White Light were turtles in a jar in the tomb guardian''s eyes.


    But before he took any action, his figure was suddenly forced out of the darkness. And the darkness domain also instantly burst open!


    "Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil! You �� You actually even have the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil on you!" For the first time, the tomb guardian was surprised when facing Ye Yuan.


    The tomb guardian did not plan on doing anything to Ye Yuan. But making the two of them suffer a bit of hardship was very necessary.


    But when he was just about to take action just now, he suddenly entered a trance. With his strength, wanting to make him fall into an illusionary realm was naturally not that easy of a thing.


    But with this, the darkness domain collapsed on its own without being attacked too.


    Once the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was unleashed with full power, even if the tomb guardian''s strength was exceedingly formidable, he would not dare to easily oppose either.


    Of course, that way, Ye Yuan would become a dead dog again.


    Ye Yuan only displayed his strength for a bit just now, scaring the other party into retreating, and did not truly unleash the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s power.


    The tomb guardian looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing a look of terror.


    He thought that he already saw through Ye Yuan and even saw through the divine artifact. What kind of trump card could Ye Yuan still have?


    But Ye Yuan actually really still had a trump card!


    In the Divine Dao Era, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was a widely known existence too. How could the tomb guardian not know its prowess?


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak. However, the tomb guardian let out a sigh and said, "Forget it! You, boy, your good luck is seriously too shocking! Since White Light boy insists, you come in together then."


    Finally, the tomb guardian still relented.


    The moment White Light heard, he exchanged a glance with Ye Yuan, and could not help showing a knowing smile.


    The two people gradually walked over towards the depths with the tomb guardian. But the undulations flowing out from within the memorial tablets became stronger and stronger!


    All of a sudden, the two people instantly felt the pressure on them soar, and could not help being alarmed inwardly.


    This foot striding over, it was as if they entered another world.


    "Starting from here, it''s the rear hall of the land of ancestral spirits! The memorial tablets housed here are all Deity Realm powerhouses! Even the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s patriarchs are absolutely not permitted to take a single step in here too. Otherwise, kill without mercy!" said the tomb guardian nonchalantly as if talking about a trivial and ordinary matter.


    But White Light curled his mouth and said, "In my view, your strength is also merely on par with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s patriarch''s, right? Based on what to kill him?"


    "Based on what? Based on this!"


    A sword suddenly appeared in the tomb guardian''s hand. The moment this sword lit up, beams of light actually appeared on these memorial tablets and closed in on the sword body.


    White Light and Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted, staring at the sword in the tomb guardian''s hand in disbelief.


    The undulations coming off of the sword body absolutely surpassed Divine King Realm!


    This sword slashing out was absolutely able to annihilate any Divine King Realm expert!


    The tomb guardian''s hand that was holding the sword shook, and those white light actually returned into the memorial tablets once more, making the two people click their tongues in wonder.


    The two people followed the tomb guardian and came to a spacious hall.


    "En? The two of you wait here, I''ll go and take care of some business! Make sure not to simply run around, or else, bear the consequences yourself!" As he said these words, the tomb guardian turned into a side hall and disappeared.

 990 Tomb Guardian Lineage

    The Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s ancestral temple''s sacrificial altar was specifically used to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.


    Of course, there was still another function here. It was used to communicate with the tomb guardians of the land of ancestral spirits.


    Currently, Head Elder already took a bath and put in clean clothes, and arranged an incense burner table and sacrificial items for use nicely.


    Several divine king powerhouses all stood respectfully by the side, with a look of solemnness and respect.


    Done with the preparation works, Head Elder Pan Yin respectfully took out three sticks of incense, lit them seriously in earnest, and after three bows, inserted them into the incense burner table.


    "There were two outsiders who intruded into the land of ancestral spirits today and interrupted the ancestral spirits'' peaceful rest. Unfilial child, Pan Yin, is gripped with fear and requests the spirits of the ancestors to make an exception, and let this one enter the land of ancestral spirits to capture the outsiders!"


    Head Elder enunciated each word, saying it extremely devotedly.


    After his voice faded, the array formation on the sacrificial altar suddenly lit up brightly. Coils of incense smoke above the incense burner were seemingly devoured by something, vanishing from sight.


    Pan Yin''s face revealed a look of anticipation. This sort of thing, presumably the tomb guardian should not disagree, right?


    After 15 minutes, above the sacrificial alter finally had a reaction. Head Elder had a look of anticipation, staring fixedly at the incense ashes burned out by the three joss sticks.


    Incense ash drifted, gradually condensing to form a word shape.


    All of the divine kings stared at that place without blinking. But very soon, the expressions on their faces became very ugly.


    While Head Elder''s expression was even grim until it was almost dripping water.


    It was clearly not Head Elder''s first time communicating with the tomb guardian already. But the words that appeared this time made him perplexed, and also aggrieved.


    The incense ashes condensed to form a large word: Scram!


    "Why is it like this? In the past, when communicating with the tomb guardian, it''s either allow or not allowed. This ''scram'' word, what does it mean?" A divine king said in puzzlement.


    "Is there still a need to say? Of course, it''s ''not allow''! But the problem is, why would the tomb guardian want to use this word?" Another divine king said.


    This word was seriously too impolite.


    "Most likely, the tomb guardian is truly enraged. Otherwise, he wouldn''t use this word to reply! Could it be, us not guarding the land of ancestral spirits well, made them infuriated?"


    Head Elder''s expression was incomparably ugly. He lived to a ripe old age and had yet to encounter this sort of situation before.


    "Remove the incense burner table then. Looks like we can only lie in wait! There''s a possibility that the tomb guardian has already personally taken action!" Head Elder finally still let out a long sigh and said.


    His strength was extremely formidable. But facing the tomb guardian''s wrath, he still harbored fear.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Inside the land of ancestral spirits, the tomb guardian was the most powerful existence! Even if he was a first-rate divine king, he could not go against the other party''s wishes too.


    ...


    At the same time, inside the White Tiger territory, Rong Kun also received the news that was sent over here.


    "What did you say? They entered the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits? That place is highly dangerous!" Hearing this news, Rong Kun turned pale with fright too.


    "Yes, Head Elder! From the news that was sent over, Ling Ninehills was indeed captured by Ye Yuan already. But in the end, it still startled the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s Head Elder, Pan Yin! Finally, Ye Yuan was still intercepted. But in the end, Ye Yuan still escaped into the land of ancestral spirits!" A divine king powerhouse said.


    Rong Kun finally still let out a sigh and said, "To be able to escape from Pan Yin''s hands is already a miracle! The land of ancestral spirits was indeed their only way out. But their chances of survival aren''t high! Probably at this moment, Pan Yin has already thoroughly sealed off the land of ancestral spirits. Even if they can come out from within the land of ancestral spirits, they would be hard-pressed to escape even if they grew wings too!"


    The divine king below was also very alarmed. When he heard this news, he was stunned for a long time as well.


    Forget about Ye Yuan, it was impossible for him to escape from Pan Yin''s hands too.


    But, Ye Yuan did it! He escaped from under Pan Yin''s nose and barged into the land of ancestral spirits!


    One had to admit that this could be rated as a miracle already.


    "Head Elder, what should we do now?" That divine king powerhouse asked.


    Rong Kun mused for a moment and instructed him, "Gather the clan''s powerhouses and hasten to the borders! Apply pressure on the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan! At this time, what we can do is also just this. Hope that White Light is blessed and has a tenacious life, and is able to come out from inside the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits."


    That divine king''s expression became austere as he responded, "Yes!"


    ...


    Yue Mengli had just come out from closed-seclusion when Bai Po came knocking.


    Seeing Bai Po''s expression, Yue Mengli knew that Ye Yuan there probably encountered some accident.


    "Elder Bai, how is �� Big Brother Yuan?" Yue Mengli opened her mouth to ask first.


    Bai Po hesitated for a moment, but still recounted the information he got from Head Elder there.


    Just earlier, Head Elder Rong Kun specially summoned him over, making him come over to tell Yue Mengli this news. It was also considered taking the matter seriously.


    But Yue Mengli smiled after hearing it and said, "I see. Since Elder Bai came, why not come in a drink a cup of tea?"


    Bai Po was stupefied by Yue Mengli''s attitude and could not help saying in surprise, "Isn''t Miss Yue worried about Young Master Ye at all?"


    Yue Mengli said with a faint smile, "Of course I''m a little worried. However �� Big Brother Yuan will definitely return safely."


    Bai Po could not help being stunned when he heard. He had mentioned the dangers of the land of ancestral spirits earlier, but Yue Mengli was still so confident.


    Where in the world did her confidence stem from?


    ...


    Before long, the tomb guardian appeared in front of Ye Yuan and White Light once again.


    "All come on out!"


    The tomb guardian''s nonchalant voice reverberated inside the great hall. Very soon, one silhouette after another flickered. Several dozen people actually appeared in the great hall all of a sudden!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan and White Light were both very puzzled.


    "This �� who are they?" White Light asked curiously


    The tomb guardian said with a smile, "They are tomb guardians too."


    "This �� So many tomb guardians?" White Light could not help being dazed when he heard that.


    "When have I said that the tomb guardian was just me alone?" The tomb guardian said mockingly.


    White Light: "..."


    "I''m called Fan Lin, the leader of the White Tiger Clan''s tomb guardians. Our tomb guardian lineage is handed from generation to generation, but our mission will never change, that is to guard the ancestral spirits, and defend the White Tiger Clan. If the White Tiger Clan is in danger of clan extermination, we''re also the last barrier!" Fan Lin said.


    White Light was alarmed inwardly as he listened. His face turned solemn, and he said to Fan Lin, "Guarding the White Tiger Clan, Lord Fan Lin and everyone have toiled and performed unparalleled merits! Please accept a bow from White Light!"


    Fan Lin nodded slightly and said, "Our tomb guardian lineage can receive this bow of yours! Perhaps in the future, our White Tiger Clan will have to serve you as our master. This bow today, I''ll accept it on behalf of the ancestors first! Alright, into formation!"


    Under Fan Lin''s order, each and every one of those tomb guardians swiftly moved positions. Their movements were extremely nimble. Clearly, they had already rehearsed this set of array formation to the limits.


    Ye Yuan watched by the side and was also endlessly shocked inwardly.


    These tomb guardians, each and every one of them had unfathomable strength! He seriously did not expect that the White Tiger Clan actually still had such a terrifying force!


    All of a sudden, the array formation formed. The originally dim great hall suddenly radiated with a brilliant splendor!


    "Roar!"


    A pressure that was sufficient to decimate the heavens and destroy the earth spread out inside the great hall!

 991 Atavism Dragon Soul!

    An illusionary white tiger formed in the sky above everyone just like this.


    "Welcome the Sacred Ancestor for descending!"


    Fan Lin brought the tomb guardian lineage and directly prostrated down towards this illusionary white tiger, appearing especially respectful.


    Although this white tiger was an illusionary body, the aura it exuded virtually made Ye Yuan and White Light asphyxiated.


    The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the shocked expression in the other party''s eyes.


    The spirit of the white tiger had just appeared and was clearly not quite adapted yet. His gaze appeared slightly sluggish.


    But very soon, he accustomed to it, and his gaze actually locked onto White Light.


    "En, it''s already been over a hundred thousand years since the last summoning, right? Summoning this sacred ancestor this time is for this young man?" The white tiger said slowly.


    Being stared at like this by the spirit of the white tiger, White Light felt like his soul was about to leave his body.


    Fan Lin said respectfully, "Yes, sacred ancestor! In over a hundred thousand years, he''s the first Perfect White Tiger Physique that we''ve encountered."


    The white tiger''s gaze landed on White Light once more as he slowly opened his mouth to say, "Not bad, it''s indeed the Perfect White Tiger Physique. It''s a pity that �� the degree of development is too low!"


    Being stared at by the white tiger like this, White Light''s breathing became ragged.


    This spirit of the white tiger was too terrifying. Every movement naturally carried terrifying law undulations.


    The tomb guardian''s aura was already terrifying enough. But compared to this white tiger, it was simply one in the sky, one on earth.


    "You �� Are you a Deity Realm powerhouse?" White Light asked somewhat lacking in self-confidence.


    "Ha �� haha ��"


    Hearing White Light''s words, the white tiger suddenly burst into laughter.


    Fan Lin''s expression changed, and he hurriedly said to White Light, "White Light, don''t be rude! Lord Sacred Ancestor is the first ancestor''s grandson! Deity Realm powerhouses have to lower their heads in submission in front of him too!"


    Hearing Fan Lin''s words, Ye Yuan and White Light trembled all over.


    Deity Realm powerhouses had to bow their heads in submission too. How horrifying a strength did this require?


    This kind of boundary, they were unable to imagine at all.


    100 thousand years already, what was after Deity Realm was already erased in history''s long river. But without a doubt, between Deity Realm powerhouses had differences of superior and inferior too.


    And this white tiger sacred ancestor was clearly an extremely powerful existence among Deity Realm powerhouses.


    The spirit of the white tiger slowly said, "This world is already missing a portion of the laws. Wanting to break through to Deity Realm is as hard as ascending to the heavens. It''s a shame for your Perfect White Tiger Physique! Alright, this sacred ancestor''s time isn''t much. Young man, how much you can advance, will depend on your good fortune!"


    The spirit of the white tiger extended a tiger claw and lightly tapped between White Light''s eyebrows. White Light''s entire body shuddered, a pained expression appearing on his face, his entire person suspending in midair.


    The spirit of the white tiger opened his enormous maws. A massive ball of light spat out of his mouth and enveloped White Light inside.


    The current White Light seemingly returned to fetal breathing, his whole body giving off waves of light halo.


    Done with all these, that white tiger''s spirit''s gaze landed on Ye Yuan.


    That murky gaze made Ye Yuan''s whole body feel uneasy, and actually made him have an impulse to escape.


    Regardless whether it was the previous life or this life, Ye Yuan had never had this sort of feeling before. But this sacred ancestor''s spirit was seriously too powerful.


    Ye Yuan quietly entered Heaven Man Unity Realm before forcefully pressing down this sort of thoughts.


    "Why would you all let a dragon race''s brat enter the land of ancestral spirits?"


    The white tiger''s spirit looked at Ye Yuan, but the words he said made Fan Lin break into a cold sweat.


    "Sacred Ancestor calm your anger, he ��"


    Fan Lin''s words were only said halfway when Ye Yuan interjected, "Don''t blame Senior Fan Lin for this matter. It was me who forced him!"


    The white tiger''s spirit smiled coldly and said, "You, boy, are quite loyal. It''s just that in the same era, my White Tiger Clan produced a Perfect White Tiger Physique, but the dragon race produced an Atavism Dragonfor visiting.Atavism means a reversion back to an ancestral trait

 992 Sacred Rank Bloodline!

    "Heh heh, looks like you finally detected something! The Atavism Dragon Soul actually appeared in a human, what tremendous irony! If I didn''t guess wrongly, you definitely wasted several hundred years of time in your past life, all the way until this life, did you come across another lucky chance and cultivated the dragon race''s cultivation method, right?" The white tiger spirit actually started gloating over someone else''s misfortune.


    One could tell that this white tiger spirit was actually somewhat jealous!


    Without a doubt, Atavism Dragon Soul and Perfect White Tiger Physique were both extremely rare among the Four Great Divine Beasts'' population. And the Atavism Dragon Soul''s degree of rarity was even higher compared to the Perfect White Tiger Physique.


    Originally, confirming White Light''s Perfect White Tiger Physique, Ye Yuan was also very happy for him. But he did not expect that he actually became some Atavism Dragon Soul.


    "Senior Sacred Ancestor, what in the world is the Atavism Dragon Soul?" Ye Yuan could not resist asking a second time.


    "Humph! Do you think I''ll tell you? Want to know, go to the dragon clan and ask!" The white tiger spirit said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan could not help choking up when he heard that. This white tiger spirit was actually throwing a tantrum. Was this guy in front of him really the White Tiger Clan''s Lord Sacred Ancestor?


    But at this time, the white tiger spirit''s figure suddenly gradually became faint.


    "Time is up. You all protect this boy well. Make sure not to have the limelight surpassed by the dragon race! This sacred ancestor is going!"


    Done talking, the light on the white tiger spirit gradually became dim, and finally turned into nothing.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was speechless for a long time.


    Did not think that entering this land of ancestral spirits, he actually encountered this sort of thing.


    He thought about it, clasped his hands, and asked Fan Lin, "Senior Fan Lin ��"


    He did not even finish asking yet when Fan Lin stopped Ye Yuan from continuing to speak with a hand gesture, and said meaningfully, "Even Lord Sacred Ancestor wasn''t willing to say. You brat, don''t make things difficult for me! This matter, don''t bring it up again!"


    Ye Yuan was at a loss for words and could only give up.


    But right at this moment, White Light suddenly let out a groan. A terrifying white tiger pressure instantly exploded, filling the entire great hall!


    White Light slowly opened his eyes. Standing in the air, he seemed like a high and lofty king, showing disdain for all life.


    Fan Lin''s expression changed, and he immediately revealed a look of wild elation.


    He bowed deeply towards White Light. The other tomb guardians also revealed looks of admiration on their faces too. They bowed down together with Fan Lin.


    "Congratulations to Young Patriarch for passing the sacred ancestor''s test, breaking through to sacred rank bloodline!" The group of tomb guardians said in unison.


    White Light slowly nodded his head and said, "Fan Lin, this time �� I really have to thank you!"


    Currently, Fan Lin''s attitude towards White Light was like two different people, compared to before. He said respectfully, "This is where our tomb guardian lineage''s duties lie. Young Patriarch doesn''t need to be overly courteous."


    White Light nodded his head but did not say anymore. He floated down and stopped beside Ye Yuan.


    "Big Brother, I didn''t expect that under our random stumbling, I actually obtained a massive lucky chance in the land of ancestral spirits!" White Light said to Ye Yuan smilingly.


    Towards White Light''s present situation, Ye Yuan was very surprised too.


    White Light''s strength increase was not high. But the white tiger bloodline pressure released just now was clearly more than a level stronger than king rank bloodline.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ye Yuan knew that sacred rank bloodline was extremely hard to attain among the current demon races.


    In an era, there might not be one person who was able to reach it!


    But after White Light accepted the white tiger spirit''s baptism, he actually directly broke through to sacred rank bloodline!


    This was a very terrifying improvement. Because one more step after sacred rank bloodline was divine rank bloodline!


    One he reached divine rank bloodline, White Light would be able to break through to Deity Realm, and became a true divine beast!


    This lucky chance could not be said to not be high to White Light.


    Ye Yuan could refine pills to let White Light have breakthroughs in cultivation realm. But the bloodline of the demon race, he was powerless to do anything.


    This was an intrinsic factor. No medicinal pills could help.


    White Light''s bloodline had reached king rank long ago. But there was still a tremendous distance from sacred rank.


    One had to know that even the White Tiger Clan''s patriarch might not be able to attain sacred rank bloodline too. But after the white tiger spirit''s test, White Light actually directly advanced to sacred rank bloodline!


    If not for so, it was also impossible for Fan Lin''s attitude towards him to have such a huge transformation.


    "Haha, you, brat, are truly the White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch now! Sacred rank bloodline, once this news is made public, the Demon Region will definitely be deeply shocked."


    White Light breaking through, Ye Yuan was naturally happy for him too.


    But White Light said with a smile, "White Light being able to have today, isn''t it still all thanks to big brother? If without big brother, I''d probably have had my young patriarch candidate rights stripped away long ago at this time."


    White Light''s heart was like a clear mirror and knew that all this was given to him by Ye Yuan.


    Disregarding past matters, this time, Ye Yuan helped him to clear his name first, then helped him to redeem his love, and also entered deep into the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan to rescue Fang Xiao''s parents.


    Everything and everything, he bore it in mind.


    Although Ye Yuan did not say, White Light understood in his heart that Big Brother was surely shouldering a tremendous grudge.


    One day in the future, he would definitely have to offer a portion of strength.


    "However, don''t Big Brother want to know just what kind of existence the Atavism Dragon Soul is?" White Light looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    The moment Fan Lin heard, he could not help turning pale with fright as he hurriedly tried to stop it, "Young Patriarch, Lord Sacred Ancestor he ��"


    White Light rolled his eyes at him crossly and said coolly, "Is he close with me, or is my big brother close to me? Furthermore, Lord Sacred Ancestor is already not around. Even if I tell Big Brother, he won''t know either, don''t worry!"


    Fan Lin could not help choking up when he heard this, so he retreated to the side embarrassedly.


    The White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch was actually close to an outsider to this sort of extent. What could he still say?


    These two people''s feelings were excellent until it was simply like they were going to wear the same pair of pants.


    If the White Tiger Sacred Ancestor was aware of White Light''s actions, he would probably be enraged until he stomped his feet, right?


    But Ye Yuan was pleasantly surprised when he heard and said, "En? You actually know? Quickly tell! That White Tiger Sacred Ancestor stifled me badly!"


    White Light said with a smile, "I broke through to sacred rank bloodline and awakened a lot of inheritance memories. And among them just happened to have the Atavism Dragon Soul''s information."


    Ye Yuan chortled with laughter and said, "That White Tiger Sacred Ancestor deliberately whetted my appetite, but probably never expected that him helping you awaken your bloodline just nice answered my doubts, right?"


    This result was simply getting enmeshed in a web of one''s own spinning!


    However, White Light reined in his expression and drew a deep breath as he said, "I really didn''t think that big brother actually has such heaven-defying talent! If not for Lord Sacred Ancestor seeing through with one glance, big brother''s talent might really be buried! Even if it''s me, I completely can''t detect the Atavism Dragon Soul too."


    Ye Yuan said uncertainly, "This Atavism Dragon Soul is really so impressive?"


    "More than just impressive, it''s simply incredible to a heaven-defying degree! Dragon race powerhouses who possess an Atavism Dragon Soul, as long as they don''t perish, they can keep on cultivating to the founding ancestor''s boundary! Lord Sacred Ancestor''s strength, Big Brother saw it already. Then how terrifying the dragon race''s founding ancestor''s strength is, don''t need me to say anymore, right?" White Light himself also felt inconceivable saying it out.

 997 Heaven Rank Dragon Wave, Is Too Weak!

    "Brother Jianbo, I think �� it''s better to call Honorable Nephew back. Once they start fighting, it will hurt the harmonious relations!" Rong Kun swayed earnestly.


    But Ao Jianbo said coolly, "Brother Kun, our dragon clan''s rules, you''re aware too. Human martial artists are more and more unbridled now, to actually dare swagger right under our noses! Truly bullying people too far! Today, I''ll give you face and only extract his dragon blood will do. This person is merely a nobody. The White Tiger Clan wouldn''t shield a brat like this, right?"


    Ao Jianbo flying off the handle depended on the person too. Ye Yuan was merely a Phaseless Realm low-level martial artist and completely did not enter the White Tiger Clan''s arcane sights.


    Even if he really extracted Ye Yuan''s dragon blood, the White Tiger Clan would not go to war either.


    If Ye Yuan was a middle or late-stage Dao Profound Realm powerhouse, Ao Jianbo would definitely have to weigh it over.


    After all, this was the White Tiger Clan''s territory. For Ye Yuan to be able to appear here, he definitely had some connections with the tiger clan.


    If really offended to the core, it would not be good.


    Ao Jianbo could not be blamed for becoming enraged either. The demon race bloodline which human martial artists loved the most was dragon race bloodline. Therefore, the dragon clan had a deep-seated hatred towards this.


    It was fine if Ye Yuan was a bloodline martial artist, but he even ran into the Demon Region''s territory carelessly. This was clearly having no respect for the dragon clan.


    In the view of Ao Jianbo and co., Ye Yuan was taunting the dragon clan''s dignity here.


    Rong Kun secretly took delight in it, but his face had a bitter smile as he said, "Brother Jianbo, it''s not to the extent of shielding. It''s just that he''s also my White Tiger Clan''s guest at any rate. You guys being like this puts me on a spot! Better let Honorable Nephew come back, otherwise, if Honorable Nephew is hurt, it wouldn''t be very good."


    Ao Jianbo froze. He did not react at first, then immediately could not help laughing as he said, "Hurt Jinhao? Brother Kun, are you jesting? If a First Level Phaseless brat is able to hurt Jinhao, then Jinhao would have also wasted these few years!"


    Rong Kun heaved and sigh and said, "Brother Jianbo, I''ve already warned you. If you suffer a loss, you mustn''t blame me! But I''ll get the unpleasantness out of the way first, if Jinhao messes up, you mustn''t bully the weak. If you make a move, I can''t look on with folded arms!"


    But Ao Jianbo said indifferently, "Good that there''s your word! Letting this old man go and deal with a Fifth Level Phaseless, I, Ao Jianbo, can''t afford to lose this face yet!"


    Rong Kun secretly laughed his head off in his heart. This old punk was still swaggering about in front of him just now. Borrowing Ye Yuan''s hand and dousing his power and prestige, he was happy to see it happen.


    After all, this was in the White Tiger Clan''s territory. Although the dragon clan had an adequate reason, it was also making light of the White Tiger Clan too much.


    Over here, Ye Yuan was also genuinely enraged.


    The other party wanted to come and draw out his dragon blood without a word. This sort of thing, anyone''s mood would also not be good.


    "I''m standing right here. If you have the ability to draw my blood away, there''s no reason why not as well." Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed as he said coolly.


    Long Jinhao gave a cold snort and said, "Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Since you''re willing to have a taste of having your dragon blood being forcefully extracted, then I''ll fulfill your wish!"


    In front of so many people, Long Jinhao had the intention of showing off a little as well and let everyone take a look at the dragon clan''s young generation''s strength.


    Rumble!


    Long Jinhao''s dragon race pressure was released fully. It was astonishingly king rank bloodline!


    "Fool! Under my king rank bloodline pressure, your inferior dragon blood can''t unleash power at all! How are you going to fight with me?" Long Jinhao said with a disdainful face.


    Over on the Vermilion Bird Clan''s side, a bubbly girl said with a giggle, "This human martial artist is rather brave too. Seeing Long Jinhao, he actually even dared to make a move. King rank bloodline has an absolute suppression effect against ordinary bloodline warriors. Just a Fifth Level Phaseless, it''s simply impossible to be Long Jinhao''s match!"


    But the other woman with a frosty look said, "What bravery, it''s simply idiocy! Clearly aware that it''s impossible to succeed but does it anyway. What''s the difference from a moth flying into the fire?"


    This two girls, one warm and one cold, were the outstanding talents of the Vermilion Bird Clan. The cold one was called Luo Wanrong, and the warm one was called Luo Jingtong.


    When they saw Ye Yuan''s actions that bit off more than he could chew, they were both somewhat disapproving.


    "Pfft, Senior Apprentice Sister Wanrong said it vividly. This boy is muddleheaded, looks rather cute instead!" Luo Jingtong said with a giggle.


    "Humph! What''s cute about him? Human martial artists are the most abominable, to actually refine our demon race''s bloodlines to increase their strength, truly deserve death! This action of Long Jinhao''s is also considered a great satisfaction."


    Actually, not just on the Vermilion Bird Clan''s side, the Black Tortoise Clan''s side similarly felt that Ye Yuan was a mantis trying to stop the chariot.


    Or perhaps, Ye Yuan appearing here was a mistake by itself.


    Furthermore, they had no favorable impression towards a bloodline martial artist like Ye Yuan. After all, they were all demons. Other people refining their race''s bloodline to increase their strength, they were obviously unhappy.


    Being strongly suppressed by Long Jinhao''s king rank bloodline, Ye Yuan felt not have the slightest feeling of discomfort. He just smiled lightly and said, "If you were sacred rank bloodline, I''d rather have to dread a little. A measly king rank bloodline is merely so-so."


    Long Jinhao was just about to rebut Ye Yuan when all of a sudden, his expression changed drastically!


    Not just Long Jinhao, the expressions of everyone present all changed drastically, including Head Elder Rong Kun.


    Although they were able to discern that Ye Yuan was bearing dragon race bloodline, when Ye Yuan did not exhibit his bloodline pressure, they could not perceive the depths of Ye Yuan''s bloodline.


    Rong Kun was aware that Ye Yuan knew how to merge into heaven and earth. Therefore, there was no way Long Jinhao could hurt Ye Yuan.


    But he never thought that Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline was actually so strong!


    "King rank bloodline! It''s actually king rank bloodline! This �� How is this possible? How can a king rank bloodline possibly appeared on a human martial artist?"


    "His bloodline power is actually not the least bit inferior compared to Long Jinhao. This is also too exaggerated, right?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "This time, the dragon clan really got their faces slapped! King rank bloodline actually appeared on a human martial artist! This matter likely won''t be taken lying down."


    These demon clans all burst into an uproar all at once, being startled by Ye Yuan''s bloodline power.


    A very large number of them only just had ordinary bloodline. But in this human martial artist''s body, he was actually bearing king rank bloodline!


    Long Jinhao''s expression was incomparably ugly. He was still saying that Ye Yuan was of inferior dragon blood earlier, but he got his face slapped immediately. How could this not infuriate him?


    "King rank bloodline! Good, truly excellent! Looks like it''s not just extracting your dragon blood today, if you don''t confess the process of how you stole the dragon blood, it wouldn''t be easy even if you wish to die!" Long Jinhao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    King rank bloodline appearing on a human, this was simply the dragon clan''s crowning humiliation.


    "Xunri Heavenly Dragon Claw!"


    Long Jinhao no longer hesitated, directly sticking a claw out.


    A dragon claw condensed and formed out of thin air, wrapped in a terrifying power, and charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    But when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he had a look of contempt and said coolly, "Heaven rank dragon wave, is too weak! Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan smacked a palm out leisurely and unhurriedly. An azure dragon soared high into the air and directly smashed Long Jinhao''s Xunri Heavenly Dragon Claw into smithereens.


    Rumble!


    The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s remnant force did not reduce, Long Jinhao''s body was smashed flying out like a cannonball!

    Ye Yuan''s current strength was still not a match for middle-stage Tier 9. But dealing with initial-stage Tier 9, it was nothing difficult.


    Furthermore, competing in dragon race martial techniques, this Long Jinhao was far too lacking!


    Ao Jianbo''s pupils constricted, his eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, filled with disbelief.


    "Spirit Rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm! This �� How is this possible? Not only did a human martial artist learn the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, he even cultivated dragon wave to spirit rank!" Long Hanwei was shocked until she could not close her mouth.


    "What in the world is going on here? King rank bloodline, spirit rank dragon race, divine rank martial technique, isn''t he a human bloodline martial artist? How can he possibly accomplish to such an extent?" Luo Jingtong was similarly incomparably shocked.


    The four symbols family clan were all aware that the foundation of the dragon race''s martial techniques lied on this dragon wave.


    To be able to cultivate dragon wave to heaven rank at this age was already extremely talented. Cultivating to spirit rank, the next young patriarch was basically guaranteed to be him.


    Now, a human race''s youngster actually cultivated dragon wave to spirit rank. This was simply too ironic.


    Right when everyone was still in the midst of shock, Ye Yuan''s figure moved and stomped on Long Jinhao''s chest with one foot as he said with a faint smile, "Your esteemed self is so overbearing, wanting to extract this Ye''s dragon blood the moment you come up. I wonder what kind of feeling it will be when this Ye draws your dragon blood out!"


    Ye Yuan said it very lightheartedly, but the surrounding people all could not help feeling a chill when they heard it.


    Saying he wanted to extract Long Jinhao''s dragon blood in front of Ao Jianbo, how fearless did one have to be?!


    Indeed, when Ao Jianbo saw Ye Yuan''s actions, the expression on his face instantly changed from astoundment to shocked fury.


    A terrifying aura locked onto Ye Yuan from far away. If Ye Yuan really dared to make a move, he would strike Ye Yuan down without the slightest hesitation.


    "Boy, if you dare to draw Jinhao''s dragon blood, I''ll definitely flay your skin and pull out your tendons today!" Ao Jianbo said coldly.


    Swords were already drawn at this time. Head Elder Rong Kun knew that he could not watch the show anymore. At this rate, there would be no way of resolving things today.


    Ao Jianbo was not to be trifled with, but Ye Yuan was also not some easygoing person!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was even White Light''s life-and-death big brother. If he really offended him badly, he might stir up some trouble!


    "Haha, misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Ye Yuan, Honorable Nephew Jinhao is a little young and aggressive. But the dragon clan is indeed a little overly sensitive towards bloodline martial artists. Give this old man face, alright?" Rong Kun said to Ye Yuan with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan lifted his head and gave Rong Kun a very meaningful glance, hitting him with pangs of guilt.


    "This boy is too sharp. My thoughts have probably been long seen through by him." Rong Kun thought to himself secretly.


    He wished to borrow Ye Yuan''s hands to diminish the dragon clan''s edge. How could Ye Yuan not perceive this point?


    His strength, Rong Kun more or less still had some score. If he wished to stop it, he should have come forward long ago. Why was there a need to wait until now?


    Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Head Elder, White Light is my closest brother. Forget about it this time. But I, Ye Yuan, am not a minor character than anybody can knead. Hope that Head Elder acts with due care and respect."


    Rong Kun had an embarrassed look, but Ye Yuan already let go of his foot and returned to his seat.


    Long Jinhao struggled to his feet. Looking at Ye Yuan, he had an expression of indignant resentment as he said coldly, "Punk, you''re bearing king rank bloodline, my dragon clan absolutely won''t take things lying down!"


    Ye Yuan shot Long Jinhao a glance and said with a faint smile, "Consider yourself lucky this time. Next time, you won''t be so lucky."


    If not looking on account of White Light''s face, he would definitely extract Ling Jinhao''s blood essence dry today. The other party exposed his killing intent. Ye Yuan was not that easygoing of a person either.


    Long Jinhao did not feel that he got lucky. In his view, Ye Yuan was afraid of the dragon clan''s power, that was why he would climb down the ladder.


    Ye Yuan was also just saying it. Could it be that he really dared to extract his dragon blood?


    But when he arrived before Ao Jianbo, he had an ashamed look as he said, "Elder, Jinhao is useless and lost face for the dragon clan!"


    But Ao Jianbo said with a calm expression, "Losing to spirit rank dragon wave isn''t considered a disgrace. It''s just that a human martial artist is actually bearing king rank bloodline. This matter definitely cannot be dropped. After the White Tiger Clan''s business is settled, this old man will naturally go find him to inquire clearly!"


    Ao Jianbo''s gaze stared at Ye Yuan with ill-intent, but it was like Ye Yuan did not feel anything. He still chatted in a jovial manner.


    ...


    The guests and host getting seated, the trial of the young patriarch was also officially starting.


    This trial was divided into a total of three rounds. What it tested was respectively, character, bloodline, as well as true strength.


    "The first round, the test of character. Rong Ning, Wu Mo, White Light, the three of you will enter the Heart Examining Forest. The first to come out will win!" An elder said in a clear voice.


    Rong Ning was the Crimson Flame Clan''s candidate who replaced Rong Xin.


    Compared to Rong Xin, his strength was naturally a notch weaker. But the Crimsonflame Clan''s strength itself was already very strong. Rong Ning''s strength still could not be underestimated.


    This Heart Examining Forest was specially set up by the White Tiger Clan to test the young patriarch. Inside the forest had a powerful illusionary formation.


    After White Light trio received the orders, they immediately entered inside the Heart Examining Forest.


    "Head Elder, I wonder who you''re most optimistic about among these three people?" After the three people entered, Bai Yi opened his mouth and asked Rong Kun.


    The moment these words were asked, quite a few people also revealed interested looks. Even the other three clans'' powerhouses also perked their ears up.


    Rong Kun smiled and said, "Just talking about this Heart Examining Forest round, this old man is actually most optimistic about Wu Mo! This boy''s character is level-headed, not arrogant nor rash. Talking in terms of temperament, he''s actually the most suited for the position of young patriarch. Even with White Light''s sudden emergence, he did not display the slightest look of alarm either."


    Hearing these words, quite a few elders and patriarchs all secretly nodded their heads.


    The Suppression Martial Clan''s Wu Mo had always been very low-profile. But nobody dared to overlook his strength either.


    If White Light did not show up, Rong Xin''s greatest competitor would be Wu Mo!


    Even Rong Xin himself also did not dare say that he could definitely win Wu Mo.


    It could be seen from this how formidable Wu Mo''s strength was.


    Furthermore, Wu Mo''s character was level-headed and rarely contended for anything as well. He just quietly cultivated by himself.


    His performance, Rong Kun naturally took it into his sights too.


    If not for White Light breaking through to sacred rank bloodline, Rong Kun actually still fancied Wu Mo more.


    Among the three people, Rong Xin exposed his edge a little too much. White Light emerged all of a sudden, while Wu Mo was deep like an abyss.


    In comparison, it was indeed Wu Mo, who was a little more suited for the position of young patriarch.


    Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the elder below suddenly called out in a clear voice, "White Light is the first to walk out of the Heart Examining Forest. The first round, White Light wins!"


    Rong Kun could not help turning stiff when he heard that. Just how long had it been and White Light already walked out of the Heart Examining Forest?


    They only said a couple of words from start to end. Adding it up, it was also merely several dozen breaths of time. Came out just like that?


    The Heart Examining Forest was not large. Calculating it, it was also the time to walk from end to end. Could it be that White Light did not delay at all inside?Means get out of a bind in a manner that saved face.

 999 Heart of a Pure Child

    "What kind of joke is this? This Heart Examining Forest, even if the elders go in, it''s also not possible to come out so quickly. White Light actually walked out immediately?"


    "Could it be that some problem occurred with the array formation? The Heart Examining Forest is a high-grade Tier 9 array formation. If the young generation enters, the fastest takes half a day''s time before they can come out as well."


    "No way! If something happened to the array formation, then why didn''t Rong Ning and Wu Mo, the two of them, come out yet?"


    "That brat called Ye Yuan is very bizarre. Why did White Light also become so bizarre now?"


    White Light directly walking out of the Heart Examining Forest made all of the White Tiger Clan''s members burst into an uproar.


    This sort of incident of directly passing through the Heart Examining Forest had never happened before from ancient times to the present.


    Unless it was a terrifying existence like Ye Yuan whose heart realm reached Heaven Man Unity Realm, otherwise, even Divine King Realm elders would also be trapped for that little while.


    As for the junior generation, that went even more without saying.


    "Head Elder, this matter is definitely fishy! White Light he must have cheated! Otherwise, how is it possible to past right through the Heart Examining Forest?" Rong Yin said solemnly.


    While at this time, the Suppression Martial Clan''s patriarch, Wu Qian, also could not sit still anymore as well. He likewise cupped his fists and said, "Head Elder, this matter is too strange! We must get to the bottom of it!"


    These two clans already came forward, Bai Jue naturally could not sit passively and resign himself to death either. He hurriedly said, "In the past, there isn''t, doesn''t meant that there won''t be in the future! White Light''s strength can''t be judged with common sense to begin with. If you can''t bear a loss, then withdraw out of the struggle to become the young patriarch. Why is there a need to insult people with words?"


    Truthfully speaking, Bai Jue was also incomparably shocked. But White Light was the Flowing Light Clan''s young patriarch. He naturally could not be afraid at this time, immediately throwing back the insinuations.


    Rong Kun was just about to open his mouth when White Light cupped his fists and said, "Head Elder, before the trial, White Light already handed over all of my storage rings. It''s impossible to bring any treasures with me. If Head Elder is still not at ease, White Light is willing to accept an inspection. It''s just, if White Light didn''t cheat, what then?"


    White Light was steady as a rock, looking at Rong Yin without showing the least bit of weakness.


    He was a lofty White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch candidate. Being maligned for no reason like this, he obviously had to win back some ground.


    Being squeezed by White Light like this, Rong Yin could not help finding it somewhat hard to get off the tiger''s back.


    It was just that he would not believe that White Light could pass through the Heart Examining Forest within such a short time even if he was beaten to death.


    "Humph! If we find out that you didn''t cheat, this old man will just resign from being patriarch!" Rong Yin said with a cold snort.


    The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned. This joke went a little overboard. Rong Yin actually used the position of patriarch to wager a bet. It was acting too much on impulse.


    Except, Rong Yin was indeed stifled in the chest, making him bet his own position of patriarch.


    Originally, the Crimsonflame Clan''s situation was excellent. Rong Yin was naturally in high spirits too.


    But ever since Ye Yuan entered the White Tiger Clan, the Crimsonflame Clan became plagued with problems for all matters.


    Putting aside the incident of a traitor emerging, it even lost Rong Xin''s young patriarch candidate rights. Right now, the Crimsonflame Clan became the entire White Tiger Clan''s laughing stock.


    White Light cheating so obviously, if he could not even drag him down the horse, he, this patriarch, did not have much point as well anymore.


    Rong Kun''s face fell, and he said, "Messing around! How can the position of patriarch be used out of spite? White Light, not that this seat doesn''t believe you, it''s just that your matter is indeed too queer. You''re also aware, ever since the Heart Examining Forest was established, nobody could pass through so quickly before. Even Divine King elders cannot as well! Can you tell this seat just what is going on here?"


    White Light bowed and said, "This, White Light don''t know. Either way, after I entered the Heart Examining Forest, I didn''t see anything and just directly walked out like that. If Head Elder really wants me to say, I really can''t give an explanation. Therefore, if Head Elder feels uneasy, better do a check."


    White Light said it very innocently, but he did not lie. The Heart Examining Forest''s illusionary realm did not have any effect on him at all.


    Hearing White Light''s words, Rong Kun could not help being powerless and could only say, "Since that''s the case, best do an inspection then. Otherwise, it''s hard to convince the masses. White Light, are you willing?"


    White Light naturally did not have any unwillingness. Because no matter what method they used, it was also impossible to investigate how he cheated.


    Just as the White Tiger Clan was bustling about to examine White Light, inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil grumbled with a smug look, "Haha, these bunch of fools! Even if they take out a divine artifact, it''s impossible to detect this great one''s existence too! But you, boy, are really insidious, to actually come up with this sort of way to cheat! Too despicable!"


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Looking at your appearance, aren''t you quite enjoying it? Making you help previously, you even had a hundred objections!"


    Speaking of this, the smugness on the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s face instantly vanished without a trace. He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "You, boy, still have the face to say it! You''re simply a malefic star! Do you know that dividing divine sense out might let this great one''s primordial spirit collapse?"


    Ye Yuan said with an indifferent look, "Aren''t you fine? Furthermore, as an exchange, I already imparted you the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art. That''s a Divine Dao mystic art!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil gave a cold snort but said no more.


    Originally, in order to help White Light pass through the Heart Examining Forest, Ye Yuan resorted to coercion and bribery to make the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil cultivate the Inkflow Spirit Dividing Art, then divide out a trace of divine sense into White Light''s eyes.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s terror did not just lie on its illusionary magic accomplishments. He could even see through all of truth and falsehood!


    The Heart Examining Forest, this level of illusionary realm, was simply child''s play to him. It could not cause any hindrance to him at all.


    Therefore, White Light actually really cheated. It was just that the method of cheating, nobody could perceive it.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was extremely hard to catch to begin with. Wanting to hide from the eyes of ears of everyone was truly too easy. Furthermore, he was not a magic treasure himself and was completely not afraid that the White Tiger Clan could detect him.


    Indeed, the White Tiger Clan even brought out a transcendent-grade holy artifact but did not find anything wrong on White Light''s body.


    Seeing this scene, Rong Yin''s expression became increasingly ugly.


    "Replying Head Elder, White Light didn''t carry any magic treasure on him!"


    Along with this verdict coming out, everyone burst into an uproar again.


    Under the circumstances where he did not rely on any magic treasures, White Light actually passed right through the Heart Examining Forest. This was simply too fantastical.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Head Elder, if everybody still feels that there''s a problem, White Light is willing to walk through the Heart Examining Forest again!" White Light clasped his hands and said.


    Before waiting for Rong Kun to reply, White Light leaped and already entered the Heart Examining Forest.


    After several dozen breaths, White Light''s figure rushed out of the Heart Examining Forest once more. This time, everyone all had nothing to say.


    "Head Elder, this �� could White Light be of the legendary Heart of a Pure Child?" Bai Yi suddenly said.


    Head Elder''s expression turned apprehensive. Looking towards White Light with eyes like he was staring at a monster, he slowly nodded his head and said, "It appears that there is only this explanation! Truly didn''t think that not only did White Light break through to sacred rank bloodline, he''s actually even of the legendary Heart of a Pure Child! Truly remarkable!"Unfortunately, this sounds weird as hell when translated to English. It''s an idiom which doesn''t appear again after this arc, so just bear with it.

 1000 Presumptuous Reques

    Heart of a Pure Child was not a heart realm boundary, but more like a type of spirit physique.


    This sort of spirit physique was inherently immune to illusions. One could maintain their true nature inside illusionary realms. It was extremely powerful.


    It was just that people possessing a Heart of a Pure Child were too few and far between. It was hard for one to appear even in ten thousand years.


    White Light actually ignored the Heart Examining Forest and directly walked out. Only the Heart of a Pure Child could explain it.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Right then, Wu Mo was the second one to walk out of the Heart Examining Forest.


    When he saw White Light, his entire body involuntarily trembled.


    Originally, these three rounds, what he had the greatest hope of winning was this Heart Examining Forest round. But who knew that he actually stumbled in the first round.


    When he heard that White Light might be of the legendary Heart of a Pure Child, even the expression of someone as composed as him was rather ugly too.


    It was just that White Light already walked through the Heart Examining Forest twice. Who won and who lost did not need to be judged at all.


    As for Rong Ning, he was more deplorable. He was even later than Wu Mo by a full two hours.


    The second round tested bloodline power. It was measured with a transcendent-grade holy artifact Bloodsoul Stone.


    Bloodsoul Stone testing bloodlines was completely different from the pressure exhibited out. It was much more accurate.


    Furthermore, the Bloodsoul Stone''s test of bloodline was a comprehensive picture, and not purely the strength of bloodline.


    Such as age, such as potential, such as strength. Because these things tended to be included inside the blood.


    The first one up was Rong Ning. He looked like he did not have much pressure, as if he was also aware himself that he was just a supporting character who did not have any hope at all.


    Rong Ning dripped a drop of blood essence on the Bloodsoul Stone. Very soon, intense undulations appeared on the Bloodsoul Stone.


    "Green-colored bloodline! Rong Ning is of the green-colored bloodline! This result is already very good! It''s a pity that his opponents are Wu Mo and White Light!"


    After the undulation, the Bloodsoul Stone finally stopped on green color. Therefore, it was determined as a green-colored bloodline.


    This Bloodsoul Stone''s testing of the bloodline''s strength was divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, seven colors. Red was the lowest, while violet was the highest.


    Rong Ning finally stopped on the green-colored bloodline. It was already considered very strong.


    After Rong Ning, Wu Mo followed suit as well, dripping blood essence on the Bloodsoul Stone.


    The Bloodsoul Stone emitted an intense light. First was red color, followed by orange color, gradually becoming stronger.


    When the color rushed to green color and turned from green to blue, it actually became somewhat lacking in strength.


    Wu Mo''s expression changed, his eyes staring unmovingly at the Bloodsoul stone. The joints of his fingers made cracking sounds.


    "Went past! Really went past! Blue-colored bloodline! Blue-colored bloodline is already extremely rarely-seen! Even if Rong Xin is here, it''s also merely like this. For White Light to want to beat Wu Mo in bloodline, it probably won''t be easy anymore!"


    Current, the matter of White Light possessing sacred rank bloodline had not spread yet, while blue-colored bloodline was already an extremely rare bloodline magnitude. Hence, everyone was not too optimistic about White Light.


    However, when White Light dripped blood essence on the Bloodsoul Stone, everyone was stunned!


    Red color, orange color, yellow color, it practically rushed past in an instant.


    It slowed down slightly when it was green color, but it still rushed past very quickly. Following that was blue color, indigo color!


    "Indigo bloodline! The color is still darkening! White Light''s bloodline strength wouldn''t really charge to violet-color, right?"


    "This �� is too freakish! Ever since Divine Dao dwindled with zero, there has yet to be anyone''s bloodline who charged to violet color before! Just how strong is White Light''s bloodline magnitude?"


    "Quickly look, it really charged past! Violet! Violet-colored bloodline!"


    Violet-colored bloodline stirred up surging waves in the crowd all at once. The shocked ones were not just the White Tiger Clan''s members, there were also the other three clans that came to observe the ceremony.


    Violet-colored bloodline, this was the highest rank that the Bloodsoul Stone was able to test. And in these 100 thousand years, nobody had reached violet-color before.


    The best bloodline strength was also merely blue-colored bloodline.


    But today, it actually gave birth to violet-colored bloodline! How could this not alarm them?


    When Rong Kun saw this scene, he stroked his beard and smiled. White Light''s performance today made his face feel greatly honored.


    "Quickly look! White Light''s bloodline test hasn''t ended yet! The Bloodsoul Stone''s color is still darkening! It''s already �� already almost turning black!" At this time, someone suddenly cried out in shock.


    Rong Kun and several elders, including the other three clans'' elders all quickly stood up, being startled by the abnormal change on the Bloodsoul Stone.


    "Could it be �� Could it be that White Light''s bloodline is going to reach the legendary black-colored bloodline? This �� How is this possible?" Bai Yi said in astonishment.


    Black-colored bloodline was the White Tiger Clan''s highest rank bloodline! The magnitude of its potential was simply unimaginable.


    Even in the Divine Dao Era, there were extremely few people able to reach black-colored bloodline too.


    This sort of bloodline was virtually a myth!


    But today, this myth was going to become a reality in a moment!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan just smiled faintly.


    This conclusion was within his expectations. The Perfect White Tiger Physique was an existence capable of reaching the Sacred Ancestor''s rank.


    Making the Bloodsoul Stone turn black, this was also something within reason.


    Under everyone''s watchful eyes, the Bloodsoul Stone''s color finally turned black.


    Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, looking towards White Light with inconceivable gazes.


    "Huu �� Head Elder, in my view, this third round doesn''t need to be competed anymore. White Light''s potential is simply not what the rest can contend with. Him being the young patriarch is fame following merit," Bai Yi said.


    Rong Kun also sucked in a deep breath. Looking at the various elders, he said, "Elders, are there any objections?"


    "None! White Light actually let the Bloodsoul Stone reach the legendary black-color. His future accomplishments are simply limitless. If he doesn''t become the young patriarch, who will?"


    "No objections!"


    "..."


    All of the elders approved unanimously. White Light this young patriarch was already a shoo-in.


    If even black-colored bloodline could not become the young patriarch, then the White Tiger Clan would simply be a joke.


    Rong Kun said, "Since that''s the case, the third round of testing doesn''t need to be carried out as well. The White Tiger Clan''s new young patriarch is White Tiger Clan! All guests, please rest for a day at my White Tiger Clan. After this old man reports this matter to Patriarch, we''ll hold the young patriarch''s crowning ceremony tomorrow morning!"


    When White Light heard this news, he heaved a long sigh in relief too.


    He also paid far too much for today''s sake. Of course, he also matured a lot of in-between.


    Finally, he still became the White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch.


    But this was no longer White Light''s goal. Ever since becoming aware of the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and White Tiger Clan''s secret, his even greater goal was to consolidate the two clans and unite the White Tiger Clan.


    White Light could not help looking towards Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with gratitude.


    If not for Big Brother, his present situation would definitely be extremely arduous, let alone talk about becoming young patriarch.


    Just as everyone was about to disperse, Ao Jianbo suddenly opened his mouth and said to Rong Kun, "Brother Kun, this Ao has a presumptuous request."


    Rong Kun was rather surprised and said, "Brother Jianbao just say it, no worries! As long as you don''t bring away Ye Yuan, everything can be discussed."


    Rong Kun knew that Ao Jianbo suddenly speaking up was probably still for Ye Yuan.


    Ao Jianbo said coolly, "I''m very curious just how strong this human brat''s bloodline is! Since the Bloodsoul Stone is off the peg, can you let him give it a try?"

 1001 Exploded

    "This �� Ye Yuan, Elder Ao wants to witness your bloodline power, what do you think?"


    Rong Kun naturally would not make the decision for Ye Yuan and could only seek his opinion.


    This sort of request was clearly somewhat unreasonable to Ye Yuan. If it was in accordance with his character, he definitely would not agree.


    But ever since he knew that he was of the Atavism Dragon Soul, Ye Yuan was also very curious about his bloodline power.


    "Fine then. Since you all are interested, no harm in testing it as well." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The others were also preparing to leave, but seeing this situation that suddenly occurred, they also came to a standstill and planned to watch the show first before talking.


    Regarding Ye Yuan agreeing so straightforwardly, Ao Jianbo was very surprised too. He originally even wanted to use some coercive measures. Did not think that he actually did not need to use them.


    Ye Yuan slowly came before the Bloodsoul Stone. This action aroused everyone''s curiosity as well.


    "A human martial artist is actually bearing the dragon clan''s king rank bloodline. Truly inconceivable."


    "By my estimation, Ye Yuan''s bloodline power is probably at least green too, maybe it can even reach blue!"


    "There''s still hope for green, but blue should be impossible! After all, he''s a human martial artist. Even if its king rank bloodline, his potential is also not as strong as the dragon race''s."


    King rank bloodline appeared on a human martial artist, this was something that had never happened before. These demon race powerhouses were all very curious just how powerful Ye Yuan''s bloodline power was.


    But they did not think that Ye Yuan''s bloodline strength was very strong. After all, for a human martial artist, being able to reach blue-color was already very impressive.


    After all, the Bloodsoul Stone leaned more towards the potential of the bloodline when testing bloodline strength.


    Under normal circumstances, the deeper the color on the Bloodsoul Stone, the greater the martial artist''s accomplishments in the future.


    Ye Yuan dripped a drop of blood essence on the Bloodsoul Stone. Everyone held their breaths, watching the Bloodsoul Stone''s reaction.


    In the end, one breath passed, two breaths passed, the Bloodsoul Stone still had no reaction.


    "What''s going on? Could it be that something went wrong with the Bloodsoul Stone?" Rong Kun said rather surprisedly.


    "Heh, just a human race brat, the Bloodsoul Stone probably don''t acknowledge his bloodline power at all, right!" Long Jinhao said with a cold laugh,


    Right at this time, the Bloodsoul Stone suddenly lit up and emitted an extremely strong red light!


    This red light was very intense, intense until it even made people feel somewhat uncomfortable to the eye.


    Furthermore, the time this red light persisted was very long and not like the others, passing very quickly.


    "What''s going on here? The Bloodsoul Stone tests bloodline strength with the method of burning blood essence. The longer low-ranking bloodlines burn, the lower the bloodline strength. Seems like even though Ye Yuan reached king rank bloodline, his development space is very limited!" Rong Kun said.


    Ao Jianbo said with a cold snort, "Indeed not out of my expectations! This boy is probably Old Freak Wei''s experimental product. Therefore, his potential is long exhausted! Following this trend, it''s already the limit for him to be able to reach yellow-colored bloodline! It''s just, I didn''t expect that Old Freak Wei is actually able to increase bloodline power to king rank bloodline already!"


    But Rong Kun shook his head when he heard that and said, "Old Freak Wei can transplant bloodline, but he''s unable to transplant cultivation method, right? Don''t you forget, Ye Yuan''s dragon wave is cultivated to spirit rank already!"


    Ao Jianbo could not help choking up when he heard that. He snorted coldly but did not say anymore.


    While talking, the color of the Bloodsoul Stone already became orange color. The time the orange color lasted was similarly very long. Following that was yellow, green.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Bloodsoul Stone''s colors kept on becoming darker steadily and did not become feeble like everyone expected.


    After green, the Bloodsoul Stone became blue color without the slightest accident.


    With this, everyone was stunned!


    Blue-colored bloodline could already rival Wu Mo''s bloodline!


    Who was Wu Mo?


    He was the White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch candidate. His bloodline strength ranked among the highest in the clan. If not counting White Light, Wu Mo could virtually represent the strongest bloodline of the young generation.


    However, a human bloodline martial artist''s bloodline strength could actually compete with the four symbols family clan''s young patriarch candidate. What kind of concept was this?


    Long Jinhao''s expression was incomparably ugly. If he underwent bloodline testing, he was at most blue-color too. A human martial artist was actually more or less the same as him in terms of bloodline strength!


    What was even more damnable was that Ye Yuan''s bloodline strength was still increasing. The color of the Bloodsoul Stone was still turning darker.


    "Became indigo-color! My god, it really became indigo-color Ye Yuan''s bloodline strength is actually even more powerful than the four symbols family clans'' successors! This is simply too bizarre! That Bloodsoul Stone wouldn''t really have spoiled, right?" Someone cried out in shock.


    "It''s definitely that the Bloodsoul Stone spoiled! Otherwise, how can a human bloodline martial artist''s potential be even greater than the four symbols family clans?"


    "Looking at it like this, there''s probably something wrong with that White Light''s bloodline strength too!"


    Although human bloodline martial artists fused with demon race bloodlines, they were unable to unleash the true power of demon race bloodlines at all.


    No matter how powerful the blood essence they fused with, the strength that was truly unleashed was greatly discounted too.


    Therefore, when they tested bloodline, they generally would not even reach orange color.


    Ye Yuan''s bloodline performance completely surpassed common sense. This left them no choice but to doubt.


    Furthermore, those present were all the four symbols family clans'' divine beast bloodlines. They were unable to accept the fact that a human''s bloodline was even stronger than theirs from the bottom of their hearts.


    Hence, when they saw Ye Yuan''s bloodline break through to indigo-color bloodline, cries of questioning joined together very quickly.


    However, the Bloodline Stone could not hear their questioning voices. Its color was still becoming darker, and broke through to violet color very quickly!


    Following the Bloodsoul Stone turning violet color, those questioning voices also gradually ceased. The originally noisy venue became very quiet.


    The Bloodsoul Stone''s color was still becoming darker, gradually turning from violet to black.


    Everyone held their breaths!


    Within a day, two black-colored bloodline of the legends actually appeared! This was too bizarre!


    Ao Jianbo was stunned too.


    "Brother Kun, your White Tiger Clan''s Bloodsoul Stone wouldn''t really have a problem, right?" Ao Jianbo said.


    Rong Kun''s gaze was filled with shock. Hearing that, he shook his head and said, "Impossible! For the sake of the young patriarch trial today, our White Tiger Clan prepared for a period of several years. How can we possibly make this sort of low-level blunder?"


    "But, how can a human bloodline martial artist possibly make the Bloodsoul Stone turn black?" Ao Jianbo said in astonishment.


    "This �� "


    Just as Rong Kun was hesitating, the expression on his face suddenly changed.


    The Bloodsoul Stone suddenly started vibrating fiercely, while its color also became increasingly blacker. In the end, it actually glowed from the blackness!


    The Bloodsoul Stone''s trembling became more and more intense. Rong Kun''s expression suddenly changed greatly. He yelled out, "Quickly get out of the way! The Bloodsoul Stone is going to explode!"


    Rong Kun''s voice had yet to fade, only to hear a boom, the Bloodsoul Stone directly exploded into clouds of dust.


    Ye Yuan moved the Heavenly King Bell aside and said helplessly, "This thing doesn''t seem to be sturdy enough. It actually can''t withstand my bloodline."

 1002 Long Tengs True Strength!

    The moment these words were uttered, everyone immediately fainted.


    Long Jinhao had a look of livid rage as he said, "Impossible! Either you''re cheating, or the Bloodsoul Stone has problems! You, a human martial artist, how can the Bloodsoul Stone possibly be unable to withstand your bloodline?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, "You''re also thinking too highly of yourself. Do you think that me testing my bloodline is for you to see? Whether you believe it or not is your problem, what has it got to do with me? Or, whether my bloodline is strong or not, what does it concern you?"


    "You!" Long Jinhao could not help choking up and actually could not find words to refute.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to prove to Long Jinhao whether or not the Bloodsoul Stone had problems. Him testing bloodline was just a moment of curiosity himself.


    Right now, this result, he was still fairly satisfied.


    Looks like the White Tiger Sacred Ancestor did not fabricate nonsense. This whatever Atavism Dragon Soul seemed to really be very powerful. It was actually even more powerful than White Light''s Perfect White Tiger Physique.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not mind, but Long Jinhao was unable to accept this fact.


    Long Jinhao was young and spirited in the end. A human bloodline martial artist''s potential was actually a hundred times, a thousand times, even ten thousand times stronger than his. He really became jealous.


    Ao Jianbo did not speak the entire time. But at this time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Brother Kun, looks like this old man will have to go back on my words today. The bloodline that this boy is bearing might concern an earth-shaking secret of my Azure Dragon Clan. This old man must bring him back to the clan!"


    Rong Kun heaved a sigh when he heard that and said, "Like this, this old man won''t look on with folded arms either! Brother Jianbo, not that I''m not giving you face, but Ye Yuan and White Light are as close as brothers. White Light''s talent, you''ve seen it too. If Ye Yuan is taken away by you, my White Tiger Clan''s young patriarch probably won''t be willing to let things go!"


    After witnessing Ye Yuan''s bloodline strength, Rong Kun knew that this matter could not be settled anymore.


    If Rong Kun gave White Light a perfect score of 10-out-of-10 before testing bloodline, then right now, he would definitely give White Light a hundred points!


    The attitude from before and after could not be mentioned in the same sentence at all.


    White Light was like so. Now, an even more monstrous Ye Yuan appeared. How could Ao Jianbo possibly remain composed?


    If Ye Yuan''s parentage was of the dragon clan, Ao Jianbo would definitely beg on all fours to invite Ye Yuan back to the clan.


    But the problem was, Ye Yuan was a human!


    Such a heaven-defying bloodline appeared on a human. If they did not figure out the situation, the Azure Dragon Clan could not be the Azure Dragon Clan.


    Rong Kun''s intestines were already green with regret now. If he knew long ago, he would not let Ye Yuan test his bloodline even if he were to fall out with Ao Jianbo.


    Ao Jianbo''s expression turned cold, but he said, "Brother Kun, other matters, I must give you face. But the severity of this matter, you''re aware too. Unless you make this old man stay behind today, otherwise, my Azure Dragon Clan might have to utterly break out into war with the White Tiger Clan! Does Brother Kun really wish to see such an outcome?"


    Rong Kun knew that Ao Jianbo was not threatening him, but was stating a fact.


    If it were him and he knew that there was such a terrifying White Tiger Bloodline wandering about in destitute outside, he would definitely bring him back at all costs too.


    Even though Rong Kun had experienced many grand occasions before, he could not quite make a decision at this time too. He could only say to Ye Yuan with difficulty, "This �� Ye Yuan, why not �� you run first! However far you can escape counts! This matter, this old man really can''t help you anymore!"


    Making war with the Azure Dragon Clan, this outcome was not what the White Tiger Clan could bear.


    But Ao Jianbo sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "A mere Phaseless Realm brat. If this old man let him escape, wouldn''t I become the entire Divine Realm''s laughing stock?"


    Rong Kun gave him a glance but did not say anything. If he divulged Ye Yuan''s trump card at this time, Ye Yuan would definitely hate the White Tiger Clan to death.


    In Rong Kun''s view, Ye Yuan''s best way out right now was to catch Ao Jianbo off-guard and use merging into heaven and earth and escape.


    At that time, he would help Ye Yuan delay a bit. Presumably, the Azure Dragon Clan should not vent their anger on the White Tiger Clan because of this.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of escaping, but looked at Ao Jianbo and said with a faint smile, "Old Man Ao, somebody wants to have a word with you."


    A black-robed man suddenly appeared and opened his mouth to say, "Who is Ao Xinghan to you?"


    Ao Jianbo''s expression changed, and his voice immediately went deep as he said coldly, "Who are you? To actually know Ancestor''s name?"


    This black-robed person was naturally Long Teng.


    "Heh, I knew that you were Ao Xinghan, that worthless child''s descendant! Ye Yuan''s dragon race cultivation methods were all taught by me. Stop having designs on him. Go back and tell your patriarch, Ye Yuan will be the dragon clan''s next patriarch! Before long, I''ll bring Ye Yuan and return to the Azure Dragon Clan!"


    Long Teng''s words immediately caused a mighty uproar in the crowd!


    The Azure Dragon Clan''s patriarch, the status was incomparably venerated, and also the entire Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most existence.


    This black-robed man who appeared out of who knows where wanted Ye Yuan to be the patriarch the moment he opened his mouth. This was simply a joke!


    A human, even if his bloodline was any stronger, how could he be the Azure Dragon Clan''s patriarch?


    Not just them, even Ye Yuan himself was also stunned when he heard that.


    He had not thought of becoming some dragon clan patriarch before. Long Teng''s words were too sudden, catching him somewhat by surprise.


    Ao Jianbo''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "What high-sounding sentiments your esteemed self has! Putting aside concealing the truth of the matter, you want to claim my Azure Dragon Clan''s patriarch with just a word. It''s a little too arrogant, don''t you think?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Long Teng said coolly, "Arrogant, is it? You''re Ao Xinghan''s descendant, your forte should be the Proud Heavenly Dragon Art, right? Attack with your full strength and give it a shot. I want to take a look at how much of his ability you inherited!"


    Ao Jianbo''s expression could not help changing when he heard that. The other party actually stated his strongest martial technique readily. Seems like this black-robed person knew about the dragon clan''s matters like the palm of his hand!


    But Ao Jianbo was also a top-notch expert in the Demon Region. How could he possibly be scared into retreat by a sentence from Long Teng?


    "Humph! I want to see if you really have the capital to be cocky!"


    Ao Jianbo snorted coldly. A powerful dragon pressure abruptly erupted.


    Only to see his palms come together. A terrifying undulation instantly emanated.


    "Roar!"


    A shocking dragon roar transmitted out. A surge of intangible and terrifying demonic essence instantly coalesced.


    At this time, the two people already flew very far away. But separated by such a great distance, the others felt their hearts palpitate endlessly too.


    This was the strength of a first-rate Divine King! Too terrifying!


    "Ao Jianbo is indeed well-deserving of being a genius of the Azure Dragon Clan. Several dozen years of not seeing, his strength became more and more unfathomable! That black-robed person doesn''t have a very powerful undulation on him at all. Is he truly so confident in being able to defeat Ao Jianbo?" Rong Kun said rather worriedly.


    Right then, Ao Jianbo''s divine king domain was released fully. He shouted coldly, "Proud Heavenly Dragon Art, Showing Disdain on all Under the Heavens!"


    There was no flashy essence energy undulation. What there was, was just a destructive force powerful until it made people feel asphyxiated.


    Long Teng just stood with his hands behind his back. Facing a first-rate Divine King''s attack, he just lightly extended a palm out.


    "Puhwark ��"


    In an instant, the divine king domain shattered. The Proud Heavenly Dragon Art directly turned into nothingness. It actually did not cause a hint of damage!


    "Compared to Ao Xinghan, you''re too weak! The Azure Dragon Clan is indeed getting more abysmal with each generation!" Long Teng let out a long sigh.

 1003 Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation!

    Ao Jianbo''s expression was incomparably ugly. His full power blow was actually broken by Long Teng so effortlessly!


    Facing Long Teng''s mockery, he could only suffer it obediently.


    "Who in the world is Your Excellency? Why do you grasp my dragon race''s martial techniques so familiarly like the palm of your hands?!" Ao Jianbo said in a solemn voice.


    Ao Jianbo knew that he did not lose in strength, but lost in understanding of the dragon race''s martial techniques.


    Long Teng''s understanding of the Proud Heavenly Dragon Art was god knows how many times more profound than him, this dragon clan''s elder. How could he have a reason to not be defeated?


    "Heh, Ao Xinghan''s Proud Heavenly Dragon Art was taught by me. Who do you think I am?" Long Teng said coolly.


    Ao Jianbo''s expression changed, and he said in surprise, "You �� You''re my dragon clan''s senior? I wonder what Senior''s name is?"


    50 thousand years had already passed since Long Teng''s era until now. Many things had long been forgotten already.


    Who taught Ao Xinghan, apart from Ao Qian, someone of that era, nobody knew long ago.


    "Who am I, you don''t need to care. Remember, Ye Yuan will go to the Azure Dragon Clan, but when he goes, is up to him to decide, and not you! Rest assured, Ye Yuan is more suitable to be the next patriarch than any one of your clansmen. Now, scram as far as you can for me!" Long Teng said in a solemn voice.


    Ao Jianbo''s expression was incomparably ugly. This black-robed man who suddenly appeared countered him too much!


    In front of this person, the strength he could unleash was less than 10%. How to fight?


    Although extremely unwilling, Ao Jianbo still bowed and said, "Yes, Senior! These words, Jianbo will bring them to Patriarch!"


    Witnessing Long Teng''s strength, everyone was incredibly shocked and used fearful gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    No wonder Ye Yuan could cultivate dragon wave to spirit rank. Turns out that he had a dragon race expert giving guidance behind him.


    But they all knew that for Ye Yuan to be able to cultivate dragon wave to spirit rank at this age, he was absolutely a genius among geniuses!


    Don''t look at how Long Jinhao seemed young, he was actually several hundred years old already. He had spent several hundred years to cultivate dragon wave to heaven rank.


    But Ye Yuan''s age was placed right here. Cultivating to spirit rank was simply too monstrous.


    Long Teng came back. Ye Yuan was overjoyed as he said, "Senior, you''ve already fully recovered?"


    Long Teng said with a smile, "Huhu, isn''t this still all thanks to you?"


    This period of time, Long Teng had been in a state of closed-seclusion the entire time. Leaving seclusion this time, he borrowed the power of the Skandha Divine Stone, and finally recovered completely.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "What''s senior still being courteous with me for? It''s just that, you said to make me be the dragon clan''s patriarch, it isn''t a joke, right?"


    Long Teng said, "Of course it wasn''t a joke! Seems like me meeting you was long foreordained by the heavens. Really didn''t think that in this old man''s remaining years, I was actually able to encounter a bloodline power like yours!"


    Long Teng said it veiledly. Ye Yuan knew that he was referring to the matter of his Atavism Dragon Soul.


    "All the esteemed guests, the White Tiger Clan has already prepared guest rooms for everybody. Everyone had best return and take a rest first." Rong Kun saw that the scene was awkward and came out to smooth things over at the right moment.


    Ao Jianbo gave a cold snort and said, "Apologies, Brother Kun! This matter is of utmost importance! This old man must hurry back to the clan. Tomorrow''s coronation ceremony, I''m afraid I can''t attend anymore. I''ll take my leave here!"


    Rong Kun knew that Ao Jianbo could not sit still and did not ask him to stay either. He just clasped his hands and said, "Since that''s the case, Brother Jianbo take care!"


    Ao Jianbo also returned a greeting and brought Long Jinhao and the rest, and was going to leave.


    The group of people was just about to leave when all of a sudden, an abnormal change occurred!


    Above the entire White Tiger Clan''s sky suddenly became a stretch of blood-color, as if the entire stretch of the sky was being burned by flames.


    Rumble!


    The sky suddenly erupted with a massive burst of blood light, emitting a series of intense explosion sounds. The Ao Jianbo who had just flown not far away suddenly suffered a blow and actually directly dropped down.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces changed drastically and were completely unaware of what happened.


    Blood light shot up into the skies, as if it was a huge cover, enveloping the entire White Tiger Clan''s totem territory all at once.


    The blood light cover arrived very suddenly. Everyone was caught completely off guard. But the undulations coming off of that huge shroud made the first-rate Divine Kings, including Rong Kun, all feel their hearts palpitate.


    Someone as powerful as Ao Jianbo, being struck by this blood light, his life and death was actually unknown too!


    "Who is it? To actually lay down such a terrifying grand array at our White Tiger Clan! And we �� actually had not the slightest clue!"


    Rong Kun''s expression was grim until it was almost dripping water.


    This was the White Tiger Clan''s headquarters. Outsiders infiltrated here and laid down such a terrifying grand array without being noticed. He, this head elder, actually did not have a clue at all.


    This sort of situation, just thinking about it made people feel terrified.


    Furthermore, they completely did not know who the other party was and what goals they had.


    "This is the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation! A Divine Dao array formation! Once this formation has a Deity Realm powerhouse presiding over it, exterminating Deity Realm powerhouses is no object! Although this array formation doesn''t reach divine rank at the moment, dealing with Divine King Realm experts is plenty!" Ye Yuan recognized the grand array and said in a grim voice.


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone suck in a mouthful of cold air.


    Divine Dao array formation, this was a term that made people terrified at the sight of it.


    Right at this time, one silhouette after another faintly appeared above the grand array.


    "Huhu, everyone''s present! The four symbols family clans gathered at the White Tiger Clan, it really strikes a fresh note! Our hall master has heard so much about the four symbols family clans'' fame and wants to invite the various elders over to have a chat. I wonder if everyone is submitting without putting up a fight, or making us use this Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation to cripple everybody before bringing you back?"


    An expert dressed in light-blue clothing slowly walked out, using a mocking tone to look down on the foul symbols family clans'' powerhouses.


    The aura on this person was extremely powerful. He was actually a first-rate Divine King too!


    Rong Kun snorted coldly and said, "Who on earth is your esteemed self? Showing your tail but hiding your face, what capability does it count as?!"


    "Huhu, who I am, Head Elder Rong Kun don''t need to know. My hall master wants to do something big and needs all of the elders'' cooperation. Just nice, everybody gathered together today. Saved us the trouble of going to invite one by one." That blue-clothed divine king said with a faint smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Rong Kun''s expression was very grim as he said with a cold snort, "This old man just wants to know, how did your esteemed self sneak into the totem territory and lay down such a large formation?"


    The blue-clothed divine realm smiled and said, "No harm in telling Head Elder either. Either way, after today, the White Tiger Clan is going to have its name taken off the list from the Divine Realm!"


    "Be careful!"


    Rumble!


    Just as the blue-clothed divine king was talking, a terrifying explosion sound echoed out. Where the Crimsonflame Clan was located was practically leveled to flat ground.


    Many Crimsonflame Clan members were actually directly obliterated by this attack!


    Everyone was caught unawares by this change which came unexpectedly, looking at the only clan member still standing in the Crimsonflame Clan in disbelief.


    That was �� Rong Ning!


    Ten thousand feet away, Rong Yin''s expression was incomparably ugly. His body was long drenched in sweat already.


    "Y-Ye Yuan, thank you for saving me!" Rong Yin said dryly.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, his gaze staring fixedly at the blue-clothed divine king in the sky.

 1004 Ji Canglan!

    Ye Yuan''s action similarly aroused the blue-clothed divine king''s attention.


    "It''s actually Heaven Man Unity! Didn''t expect that I could actually still run into such a genius on this trip. Boy, this seat will give you a way out, join us, how about that?" The blue-clothed divine king said very interestedly.


    Ye Yuan did not answer the blue-clothed divine king and still had his eyes glued onto him. His entire body actually started trembling.


    While over here, all of the White Tiger Clan members were all abnormally shocked and furious.


    "Rong Ning! What are you doing?!" Rong Yin saw that Ye Yuan ignored him and glared at Rong Ning instead, questioning him.


    Rong Ning smiled faintly and said, "Doing what? Did you saw it all? Didn''t Head Elder ask how they infiltrated into the totem territory? I''m telling you guys the answer!


    Although Rong Yin was the patriarch of a clan, his mind still had not wrapped itself around things until now.


    The unforeseen event which arrived unexpectedly caught everyone by surprise.


    "You �� What do you mean?" Rong Yin felt like it was seemingly his first day getting to know Rong Ning.


    Although Rong Ning could not compare to Rong Xin, he was also groomed by him single-handedly!


    "What other meaning can there be? He''s telling you that he sold off the entire White Tiger Clan! This guy is a traitor! Rong Ning, my White Tiger Clan has treated you well! How can you do this sort of thing that betray your master and forefathers!" Bai Jue said in a solemn voice.


    Rong Ning laughed and said, "Treated me well? Starting from birth, I''ve been living under Rong Xin''s shadow all along. With him and Wu Mo around, it''s forever impossible for me to become the White Tiger Clan''s patriarch! What right do they have to be a notch above others right from birth? Based on what that this position of young patriarch, only they can be? In the White Tiger Clan, I, Rong Ning, will never come a day to hold my head up! You look at me now, I possess powerful strength. As long as I''m willing, I can even kill Rong Yin! All these, can the White Tiger Clan give it to me?"


    Rong Nine laughed wildly wantonly, laughing until everyone felt a chill in their hearts.


    Everyone was extremely shocked. All along, Rong Ning actually concealed his strength for the sake of today!


    The strength he erupted with just now absolutely reached the Divine King Realm!


    With Rong Ning''s cooperation, that was how these mysterious people were able to sneak into the White Tiger Clan silently, and rounding them up in one fell swoop.


    Rong Ning''s state was as if he went mad, roaring with laughter as he said, "Now, some whatever White Light appeared again. Wouldn''t I, Rong Ning, have even less of a chance? Do you think that based on Rong Ze and Bai Xu, those two fools, they can get in contact with Ling Ninehills? Originally, I was planning on waiting for White Light to have his qualifications revoked, then find an opportunity to expose those two fools. Didn''t expect that an outsider brat actually ferreted it out first and utterly messed up my original plan! If not for Ye Yuan, my plan would be able to be carried out smoothly. I can also become young patriarch right and properly! Want to blame, you all just blame him!"


    Rong Ning''s words made the White Tiger Clan''s members all shiver without being cold.


    They did not think that this Rong Ning''s scheming was actually so deep!


    Borrowing Rong Ze and Bai Xu''s hands to eliminate White Light first, then blowing up this matter and finishing off Rong Xin. One could imagine that he definitely still had other ways to deal with Wu Mo at the back.


    This guy actually set up such a shocking chess game in the White Tiger Clan, while he hid behind the scene and manipulated everyone!


    If not for Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance, he would probably have already become the young patriarch as a matter of course. Then led the White Tiger Clan towards the abyss, right?


    A minor character whose name was unknown actually planned to finish off all of the successors in front, then become young patriarch himself.


    The depths of this guy''s scheming, just thinking about it made people feel afraid!


    If not for him saying it out himself, they would likely be kept in the dark all the way. He sold everyone, and they were still helping Rong Ning count the money!


    "Boy, have you thought clearly? This seat''s patience has a limit!"


    The blue-clothed divine king was not interested in the White Tiger Clan''s matters. Ye Yuan was clearly able to arouse his interest more.


    "Big Brother Yuan, what''s wrong? Could it be that �� you know these people?" Li-er already arrived beside him at who knows when, lightly holding his hand, and asked.


    Li-er was very sensitive towards Ye Yuan''s emotions. She had never seen Ye Yuan with this expression before.


    This was absolutely not because he was afraid. Then the greatest possibility was that he knew these people!


    Feeling the temperature of Li-er''s palm, Ye Yuan felt his ice-cold heart gradually melt away.


    He drew a deep breath and said to Li-er with a light smile, "I''m fine! Today''s matter probably can''t be settled already. In a while, you hide inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Without my permission, you absolutely mustn''t come out!"


    Although Ye Yuan said it lightly, Li-er still sensed the heaviness and concern.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    These bunch of people was probably not that simple!


    Although Li-er''s strength was decent, facing all Divine King powerhouses of the same suit, she was still too weak. Staying outside would only add more to the disarray.


    Hence, she nodded her head obediently and said, "Li-er will listen to Big Brother Yuan!"


    Done instructing Li-er, Ye Yuan''s gaze recovered its composure once more. He leaped up into the skies and faced the blue-clothed divine king from a distance.


    "Ji Bingyun, when did you become so furtive too? Want to solicit me, you don''t have this qualification yet!" Ye Yuan looked at the blue-clothed divine king and said coolly.


    The blue-clothed divine king originally had a composed look. But Ye Yuan''s one sentence finally made his expression change.


    "Boy, you actually know this seat?" Ji Bingyun said solemnly.


    "Heh, in the past, the Medicine King Hall looked down arrogantly upon the world and roamed the nine heavens and ten lands unhindered. There was never any shady business when doing things. Didn''t think that 20 years passed, you all actually became a bunch of cowardly rats! Ji Bingyun, you''ve already become an out-and-out lackey!" Ye Yuan said very meaningfully.


    These group of people originated from none other than precisely the Divine Realm''s super holy land, the Medicine King Hall!


    Although these people put on disguises, Ye Yuan was too familiar with them!


    Especially Ji Bingyun, he was one of Ji Zhengyang''s nine great foster sons. His strength was unfathomable. Even if he turned to ashes, Ye Yuan would recognize him too!


    From the moment he laid eyes on Ji Bingyun, he recognized him.


    It had been 20 years, this was Ye Yuan''s first time getting so close to the Medicine King Hall''s people. How could he not be agitated?


    These 20 years, Ye Yuan had fantasized about the scene of meeting the Medicine King Hall''s people before countless times. But he completely did not think that they would actually meet in such a way.


    Ji Bingyun''s face fell, and he said, "Who the hell are you?"


    Ye Yuan said with a relaxed look. "Who I am, you don''t need to care! Where''s Ji Canglan? Such a huge line-up today, there''s no way he didn''t come, right?"


    The moment these words were said, Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed greatly. A terrifying aura suddenly appeared and instantly enveloped his entire person inside.


    At this instant, it was as if Ye Yuan had his throat clutched by someone. He could not even breathe!


    This aura was too powerful, making people unable to give rise to a shred of desire to resist at all!


    A black silhouette slowly appeared in the air. He was clearly standing there, but it was like he did not exist at all.


    Seeing this figure, Ye Yuan''s entire body involuntarily shuddered. His gaze could no longer move away!


    "Little Junior Brother, long time no see!" That black figure seemed like an old friend, greeting Ye Yuan.

 1005 Void Mystic Realm!

    "Little �� Little Junior Brother?"


    Ji Bingyun was muddled up by this form of address and looked towards Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    To be able to be addressed by Ji Canglan like this, there was only one person!


    This person was, Ji Qingyun!


    Ji Bingyun sized Ye Yuan up for a long time and completely could not find any trace of Ji Qingyun on him.


    Hang on!


    That monstrous hatred in Ye Yuan''s eyes right now was already sufficient to explain everything!Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    No wonder even with his disguise, Ye Yuan recognized him at a glance.


    "Ji �� Cang �� Lan!" These three words, Ye Yuan practically squeezed it out from the gaps between his teeth.


    Yue Mengli''s entire body trembled. She finally knew why Ye Yuan would lose composure like so. This person before her eyes was actually Ye Yuan''s former elder senior brother, the Medicine King Hall''s present master, Ji Canglan!


    Ye Yuan''s blood feud originated from precisely this man.


    All of his hardships in this life was all in order to beat down this man in front of them!


    However, the present Ye Yuan had not fully grown up yet! How could the Phaseless Realm Ye Yuan possibly be this person''s match?


    Yue Mengli''s anxiety was at its height inwardly. She had never felt that she was so useless before and also never felt so helpless before.


    A friendly face, a faint smile hanging on the face. He looked just like the boy-next-door.


    Nobody would have thought that this man would do something like murdering his master and killing his younger brother.


    But he did it. This matter had once caused quite a stir in the Divine Realm for some time.


    "Yeah, really didn''t think after a time interval of 20 years, our Little Junior Brother actually came back! It''s a pity that �� you''re still so weak!"


    A smile still hung on Ji Canglan''s face. But his disdain towards Ye Yuan was exhibited in its entirety.


    Ji Canglan''s smile deeply wounded Yue Mengli and White Light.


    They wished that they could rush up and dice Ji Canglan up into pieces.


    But Ji Canglan''s might, even if they had not made a move yet, they knew that they were absolutely not a match.


    Ji Canglan was able to become the master of a super holy land. His strength was unfathomable.


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan, he actually suddenly calmed down under Ji Canglan''s contempt.


    20 years later, Ji Canglan''s strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    The current Ji Canglan gave Ye Yuan a feeling of deep as the seas. Looks like him reaching Void Mystic Realm was not a groundless rumor!


    The so-called Void Mystic Realm referred to the Ten Great Divine Kings'' level of boundary in particular.


    Divine King Realm''s scope was ordinary divine king, first-rate divine king, as well as peak divine king. This differentiation in realm was done according to the supreme true intent level that a martial artist grasped.


    100 thousand years had passed since Divine Dao dwindled to zero. People were unable to break through to the Deity Realm from start to end. As the saying went, poverty gave rise to the desire for change, martial artists placed even more energy onto comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    A myriad Great Daos, even Deity Realm powerhouses did not dare say that they grasped the laws of Great Dao too.


    Divine Kings were unable to break through to Deity Realm, but it did not hinder them from comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    When the Heavenly Dao they comprehended reached a certain degree, it would go from a quantitative transformation to qualitative transformation and reach a mysterious and hard to fathom realm. People called it Void Mystic Realm!


    The realm of Void Mystic was still the Divine King Realm, yet also surpassed the Divine King Realm.


    This realm was very mysterious. It was hard to sum it up in a word.


    But Void Mystic Realm powerhouses were sufficient to easily kill peak Divine King powerhouses.


    This was the reason why powerhouses at the Ten Great Divine Kings'' level were so scary in the Divine Realm.


    Back then, when the Medicine King Hall had a drastic upheaval, Ji Canglan was already a peak Divine King. Now, going a step further and stepping into the realm of Void Mystic was also not something so hard to understand.


    Ye Yuan knew that Ji Canglan''s talent in martial arts was indeed incomparably shocking.


    "Yes, I came back! I''ve already waited 20 years for this day!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s transformation, Ji Canglan was slightly surprised. In his impression, Ye Yuan''s temperament was never so steady.


    But facing such a huge debt of blood, Ye Yuan actually controlled his fury in an instant.


    But it was also just a little bit surprised, that was all. Ji Canglan had absolute confidence in his strength,


    A Phaseless Realm little junior brother, how large a wave could he stir up?


    "Huhu, 20 years of not meeting, Little Junior Brother''s transformation is really huge! But we know each other too well, isn''t that so? Even if you changed a body, I recognized you in an instant too." Ji Canglan said with a faint smile as if he was engaging in small talk.


    But the two people''s conversation caused massive waves to surge below!


    "Ji Canglan''s little junior brother? Isn''t that peak Alchemy Emperor, Ji Qingyun? He �� He actually didn''t die!"


    "That is the Qingyun Zi who was the last hope to achieve Alchemy God? He actually seized possession to revive, and returned to the Divine Realm!"


    "This Ye Yuan''s strength is rather terrifying. Even Long Jinhao isn''t a match! If you give him time, he might really be a strong adversary for Ji Canglan. It''s a shame that ��"


    Qingyun Zi''s fame was too resounding in the Divine Realm. Even in the Demon Region, it was virtually known to all as well.


    The Medicine King Hall''s accident was not some secret. The Divine Realm''s powerhouses were all aware. It was just that they never would have thought that the Qingyun Zi in the past actually became Ye Yuan, and staged a comeback.


    "You showing up here today, even you didn''t recognize me, a battle between us is unavoidable too!" Ye Yuan also said coolly.


    In other people''s view, Ye Yuan was desperately upholding his face.


    But to Ye Yuan, in front of Ji Canglan, he had no reason whatsoever to shrink back!


    Ji Canglan chortled with laughter and said, "Little Junior Brother''s temper, I''m naturally aware. However �� the present you don''t have the qualifications to exchange blows with me. Since you appeared here, that old man should have imparted the Medicine God''s Soul Canon to you, right? Back then, I expended such a tremendous effort, it was for the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. Didn''t think that that old fellow would rather die than be willing to give it to me. Never thought that 20 years passed, heaven actually delivered you in front of me a second time. You really never know what would happen! How about it, Little Junior Brother, not returning to the Medicine King Hall for 20 years, I think you miss it very much as well, right? Take a trip back with me?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ji Canglan with a smile that was not a smile and said, "The Medicine King Hall, I naturally have to go back! But before this, I have to clean up the household first!"


    Ji Canglan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Looks like Little Junior Brother is refusing a toast, only to drink to a forfeit? Forget it, Bingyun, since Little Junior Brother came back, invite him back home."


    Ji Bingyun''s expression changed, and he actually hesitated for a moment and did not make a move.


    Ji Canglan said with a faint smile, "Bingyun, could it be that �� you wish to talk about the old days with Little Junior Brother too?"


    Ji Bingyun shuddered and hurriedly said, "Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!"


    Done talking, Ji Bingyun expanded his divine sense, instantly locking Ye Yuan down, and tapped towards Ye Yuan with a finger.


    The present Ji Bingyun was a peak Divine King. Unleashing an attack, the momentum was extremely shocking.


    While Ye Yuan was merely a Fifth Level Phaseless Realm, that was all.


    Right at this moment, an extremely terrifying aura billowed to the skies from inside the White Tiger Territory, and slammed right towards Ji Bingyun!


    Rumble!


    A streak of blood light flashed past and collided together with this attack.


    But this attack was too fierce and blasted Ji Bingyun flying.

 1006 Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask!

    Regarding this attack, Ji Canglan was not the least bit surprised. Instead, he turned his gaze towards inside the White Tiger Territory.


    "Patriarch Rong Xiao, finally willing to come out!" Ji Canglan said calmly.


    There was a ripple in the space. An elderly person dressed in white clothing appeared in front of everyone.


    Seeing this white-clothed old man, the White Tiger clan members were all excited.


    "Patriarch Rong Xiao!"


    This person was precisely the White Tiger Clan''s current patriarch, Rong Xiao!


    A sudden major calamity, but neither joy nor sorrow could be seen on Rong Xiao''s face. He just looked at Ji Canglan and said coolly, "My White Tiger Clan doesn''t encroach upon the Medicine King Hall''s affairs. What is your esteemed self''s action today for?"


    Ji Canglan said with a smile, "A man''s wealth is his own ruin by incurring others'' greed. This Ji naturally doesn''t wish to become enemies with a powerhouse such as Patriarch Rong Xiao too. Too bad that this Ji has to do an important thing and can only invite everyone back for a visit. Is Patriarch Rong Xiao leaving on your own, or do you want to make this Ji take action?"


    Rong Xiao said coolly, "Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation, your esteemed self really played such a big hand! But for my White Tiger Clan to be able to stand erect in the Divine Realm for as long as hundreds of millions of years, how can we be so easy to knead?"


    Following Rong Xiao''s voice fading, inside the White Tiger Territory suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    Seven light pillars towered to the sky, emitting a shocking power.


    On the summit of the light pillars, seven dots condensed and formed one after another, forming a massive formation diagram!


    "Roar!"


    Above the formation diagram, a white tiger phantom gradually appeared.


    One roar actually made the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation quake unceasingly.


    Two mighty divine rank array formations colliding, a situation where they stood up to each other as equals actually appeared.


    The clan members below all had looks of excitement. The White Tiger Clan''s foundation was not what some minor faction could compare to.


    But seeing this scene, Ji Canglan was not alarmed at all. He said with a faint smile, "White Tiger Seven Constellation Spirit Guarding Grand Array! Huhu, this Ji has admired this formation for a long time. Seeing it today, it indeed lives up to its reputation! Even the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation can''t do anything to it as well."


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed and he cried out, "Quickly withdraw the array formation! He''s baiting you all to activate the White Tiger Seven Constellation Spirit Guarding Grand Array! His true objective is the spirit of the white tiger!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to face when the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed. An enormous black hole actually appeared!


    The massive vortex churned until heaven and earth changed colors because of it!


    With this, a change in countenance finally appeared on Rong Xiao''s face.


    "Divine artifact Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask! Ji Canglan �� you''re despicable!" Rong Xiao''s expression changed drastically, looking at the unforeseen change that suddenly occurred in disbelief.


    Only to see that above the sky, an enormous flask-shaped divine artifact poked out from that black hole.


    Chiii!


    That enormous flask suddenly emitted a streak of green-colored light beam. It actually directly covered the white tiger spirit that was currently roaring incessantly!


    This white tiger spirit was different from the sacred ancestor spirit Ye Yuan encountered before.


    The sacred ancestor spirit was summoned by the tomb guardian with a special bloodline power. It was something the sacred ancestor flowed in the blood of the White Tiger Clan. Therefore, it had intelligence.


    While this white tiger spirit before their eyes was the White Tiger Clan''s totem spirit beast, guarding the White Tiger Clan. It was where the faith of the White Tiger Clan lied!


    Of course, in this present era, the power of the white tiger spirit was already less than one-ten thousandth of its prime.


    Once the spirit of the white tiger was captured away, it was equivalent to severing the foundation and where the destiny of the White Tiger Clan lied.


    Putting aside the White Tiger Clan''s members'' strength becoming greatly diminished, even if Ji Canglan did not deal with the White Tiger Clan, they would decline sooner or later too, even go extinct!


    Ji Canglan laying down this Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation was completely in order to force out the White Tiger Seven Constellation Spirit Guarding Grand Array, then capture this white tiger spirit with that Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask!


    The motive was truly sinister to the extreme.


    That white tiger spirit was enshrouded by the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask''s light beam and gave off shocking roaring sounds.


    Although it did not have intelligence, it instinctively wanted to resist that divine artifact''s capture.


    Except, that Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask was clearly not an ordinary divine artifact. No matter how the white tiger spirit struggled, it could not break free of its shackles either.


    Under everyone''s gaze, the body of the white tiger spirit actually slowly rose into the air and flew towards the flask opening.


    Seeing this scene, everyone sucked in a cold breath. Especially the White Tiger Clan''s members. Each and every one of them was anxious until they were almost vomiting blood.


    A Divine King Realm elder finally could not endure it and shot to the sky, flying over towards that Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask.


    "Want to capture my White Tiger Totem''s spirit, absolutely no way!"


    That elder roared and reached the sky in a blink of an eye.


    When Rong Xiao saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically. But it was already too late to want to stop it.


    "Wu Ning, quickly come back!" Rong Xiao said sternly.


    Ji Canglan''s party did not have the intention of going to stop at all. They just looked at this scene calmly.


    Wu Ning did not have the intention of giving up at all. He used the most powerful attack in his lifetime and slammed it towards the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask.


    Right then, a ghostly light emitted from within the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, directly extinguishing Wu Ning''s attack. Its remaining momentum did not reduce and shone on Wu Ning.


    Wu Ning did not even get to give a tragic cry and disintegrated into ashes.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was endlessly shocked inwardly.


    This Wu Ning was a first-rate Divine King powerhouse. Under the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, he was actually too weak to withstand even a single blow.


    This level of battle was already not what the average person could take part in.


    Rong Xiao gnashed his teeth until it made grinding sounds. He looked at Ji Canglan and said coldly, "Looks like your esteemed self has schemed for a long time to eradicate my White Tiger Clan! Today, we''ll not rest until we''re dead! Rong Kun, gather all of the White Tiger Clan''s divine king powerhouses! Fight to win or die!"


    Rong Kun''s expression changed, and he said, "Yes, Patriarch!"


    Receiving the order, Rong Kun immediately summoned all of the White Tiger Clan''s divine king powerhouses, and charged over towards the sky.


    The White Tiger Clan and Medicine King Hall, these two super factions, actually fell into a great war so abruptly.


    As for the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Black Tortoise Clan''s powerhouses, they naturally joined the fight too.


    If the lips are gone, the teeth would be cold. Once the White Tiger Clan fell today, not one of them would be able to escape.


    Ji Canglan still had that smile which exasperated people to death without paying for it. He said calmly, "Patriarch Rong Xiao, don''t you forget, the white tiger spirit''s influence is continuously weakening, while the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation''s power is continuously strengthening. As long as the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask fully absorbs the white tiger spirit, your White Tiger Clan''s doomsday will also be arriving."


    Rong Xiao''s expression was incomparably ugly as he said with a cold snort, "As long as kill you before this, it will do!"


    Ji Canglan smiled but did not speak, as if he paid no attention to Rong Xiao''s strength at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s figure moved and also arrived not far from Rong Xiao.


    Ji Canglan could not help being stunned when he saw the situation and said with a faint smile, "Why? Little Junior Brother wants to join in the fun too? But with your strength, even if you lend Patriarch Rong Xiao a hand, it''s also adding more to the disarray, right?"


    When Rong Xiao saw the situation, he also said, "Young friend Ye Yuan, I know that between the two of you is a deep enmity like the sea. But you by the side really can''t help this old man."


    A Phaseless Realm brat joining in the battle of Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, this was simply a joke.

 1007 Finally Entering Alchemy Emperor!

    "Is that so?"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly. A terrifying soul force suddenly erupted.


    Crack! Crack!


    Lightning suddenly flashed in the sky and thunder rumbled, bringing along a terrifying undulation.


    "Nine Heaven Soul Tribulation! How is this possible? He''s only Fifth Level Phaseless Realm, how can he possibly transcend a Nine Heaven Soul Tribulation?" Rong Xiao''s expression changed as he said.


    Nine Heaven Soul Tribulation was the soul tribulation that Alchemy Venerables needed to transcend when breaking through to Alchemy Emperor. Its power was very horrifying.


    But the power of Ye Yuan''s Nine Heaven Soul Tribulation was even greater than the average person''s.


    It was just that this Nine Heaven Soul Tribulation, one had to be at least peak Alchemy Venerable before they were able to trigger it. But Ye Yuan was actually not subjected to limitations and directly broke through the shackle.


    This sort of situation completely shattered people''s understanding.


    Ji Canglan''s eyes lit up, and he said with a slight smile, "Excellent capabilities, Little Junior Brother, to actually be able to transcend the soul tribulation without being restricted by cultivation realm. Looks like it should be due to the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, right?"


    A silent bolt of soul tribulation landed. He did not have any intention of defending and allowed that bolt of purple lightning to fall on him. Then, tranquility returned.


    "Make a guess! Don''t you wish to acquire the Medicine God''s Soul Canon very much? Kill me, and you can obtain it!" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    "Little Junior Brother, you wouldn''t really think that I can''t bear to kill you, right?"


    Ji Canglan smiled slightly, a sword already slashed out.


    "Humph!" Rong Xiao was long prepared and flicked his sleeves grandly.


    Two mighty Void Mystic powerhouses seemed to attack casually, but that energy undulation overshadowed everyone!


    Rumble!


    Places that the two waves of energy intersected instantly turned to nothing.


    Quite a few Divine King powerhouse currently engaging in battle were immediately sent flying to one side under the impact of this surge of energy.


    Ye Yuan was the first to bear the brunt. A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But Rong Xiao already helped him to resist most of the force. The injury that this small blow caused to him could be completely overlooked.


    Wiping away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth, Ye Yuan cracked a smile. The dragon pressure on his body likewise abruptly erupted.


    He stimulated the potential of the primeval dragon bone desperately. The power of his fleshy body galloped wildly towards Tier 9.


    At the same time, Long Teng''s figure appeared once more and blocked in front of Ye Yuan. He held the Vast Heaven Pagoda in his hand, just like the pose of a guardian spirit.


    Seeing Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan already could not care about holding strength back anymore. Even if this sort of breakthrough had some sequela, he would not flinch back either.


    "So that''s how it is. Looks like these 20 years time, Little Junior Brother''s lucky chances were not few! However �� even if your soul force and fleshy body both breakthrough to Tier 9, to me �� it''s still too weak!" Ji Canglan said.


    While talking, Ji Canglan''s figure suddenly vanished from sight.


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle. An extremely dangerous feeling surged in his heart.


    "Careful!" Rong Xiao shouted.


    Yet, it was already too late ��


    Puchi ��


    A sword quietly passed through his chest. Ji Canglan actually already arrived by his side at who knows when. Even Rong Xiao was actually not in time to stop it either.


    Ji Canglan''s sword was like a stick of sugarcoated haws, lifting Ye Yuan up.


    At this moment, Ji Canglan''s face was practically pressed against Ye Yuan''s face as he said with a faint smile, "Little Junior Brother, your talent still lies on the alchemy path. This martial path �� is not for you."


    Ye Yuan hung on the sword with his entire body powerless. But currently, a strange smile appeared on his face.


    Ji Canglan''s brows furrowed, but he lightly spat. Extending his hand, he lightly patted on Ye Yuan''s body. Ye Yuan''s entire person turned into a pile of minced meat.


    "Looks like I really underestimated my Little Junior Brother, to have actually obtained even the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, this kind of thing. However �� the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is too much of a waste on you!"


    Ji Canglan put away the sword and stood there. His finger on his left hand gently tapped out. The illusionary realm collapsed with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well. How was there any sign of getting injured?


    "Crazy, crazy! Your puny cultivation realm, even if you broke through to Tier 9, how can you possibly be his match? You''re courting death here! Making him succumb to it just now was only because he wasn''t on guard. Once he takes precaution, in my current state, I can''t do anything to him at all!" Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil howled.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "You shut your mouth for me! At this point, you still dare to be full of petty considerations with me? I''m telling you, if I die, you can''t survive either! Want to live, bring out all of your strength! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil only has this bit of strength?"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression turned stiff but also sensed Ye Yuan''s resolve to fight to the death. It was totally impossible to have the slightest leeway to smooth things over.


    "Hey, are the current divine kings all so strong? This guy''s understanding of Heavenly Dao is too terrifying! His strength is simply not what divine kings can rival!" Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil suddenly said.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was trapped by the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm for over a hundred thousand years. Although he could sense the arrival of an age of declining laws, he did not know the outside world''s martial artists'' transformation in strength.


    Earlier, he clashed with Ji Canglan, but was frightened by Ji Canglan strength!


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "This is the realm of Void Mystic which already surpasses the boundary of Divine King! Even though it doesn''t reach the Deity Realm''s level, it''s more than a level stronger than Divine King!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s expression was incomparably solemn. He had just displayed the Secret Illusion Heavenly Realm and actually could not even accomplish trapping Ji Canglan for an instant. The strength of this Void Mystic Realm was seriously too powerful.


    Two kinds of heavenly tribulation adding to each other''s radiance and beauty, beside Ye Yuan already became a lightning sea. (CHECK AGAIN)


    All of a sudden, the purple-colored tribulation clouds vanished into thin air. Ye Yuan actually already finished transcending the tribulation.


    A majestic soul force spread out. Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. Looking at Ji Canglan, he said coolly, "Begin then! Myriad Soul Extinction!"


    In an instant, the entire world fell into darkness. Ye Yuan activated his strongest divine soul mystic art without the slightest hesitation, Myriad Soul Extinction!


    Back then, when he displayed this move against Xie Lingzi, he was just Divine Traversing Realm strength. But the true power of this move needed Alchemy Emperor soul force before it could be unleashed.


    Ye Yuan''s soul force already went through the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s strengthening twice. Currently, although he had just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm, in terms of strength, he was already not weaker than middle-stage Alchemy Emperor.


    "What a powerful soul force! He has just stepped into Alchemy Emperor Realm, how can his soul force possibly be so powerful?"


    "What kind of divine soul mystic art is this? So terrifying! I feel that my divine soul is quivering!"


    "Peak Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi! As a pinnacle-most alchemist, his divine soul mystic art is sufficient to one-shot numerous divine kings!"


    Below, when quite a few White Tiger Clan members saw this scene, they were all incomparably astonished.


    In the sky, Ye Yuan''s soul force undulations, even when separated by such a great distance, they could also distinctly feel it.


    When Rong Xiao saw this scene, he could not help being secretly alarmed at the might of Ye Yuan''s soul force. Although Ye Yuan could not compare to Ji Canglan in essence energy cultivation realm, with his current soul force coupled with such a powerful divine soul mystic art, it was enough to cause injury to Ji Canglan.


    Rong Xiao was also someone very old and experienced and naturally knew that logic of an opportunity could not be missed.


    "Absolute Flame Firmament!"


    Rong Xiao pointed a finger out. A pale-white flame instantly enveloped Ji Canglan inside.

 1008 Eight Extremes Sword Domain!

    A divine soul attack, an absolutely formidable martial technique.


    Although it was Ye Yuan and Rong Xiao''s first time cooperating, the interaction complemented each other. The two people''s timing was grasped perfectly.


    Both were mighty peerless experts. Regarding the grasping of timing, it was very on point.


    Inside that pale-white flame, there was already not a tiny bit of undulation emitting out.


    In the sky, waves of terrifying divine soul undulation transmitted over. The temperature of the pale-white flame virtually ignited the totem territory.


    "Take the chance now, quickly go and rescue the white tiger spirit!" Rong Xiao roared.


    The spirit of the white tiger was still struggling desperately. But the distance from the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask was becoming closer and closer.


    "This bit of attack is useless to him." Just as Rong Xiao slightly heaved a sigh in relief, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth to say.


    Rong Xiao''s expression changed. That pale-white flame suddenly burst open, splattering with countless sparks.


    Areas where the sparks splashed actually immediately burned several divine king powerhouses to death!


    Two unparalleled sword lights pierced right through the pale-white flame and shot towards Ye Yuan and Rong Xiao duo.


    The seemingly ordinary sword light contained tremendous power.


    Scattering apart the pale-white flame, Ji Canglan''s figure emerged once more.


    The expressions of the group of divine kings all changed and said, "How is that possible?! Patriarch Rong Xiao''s Absolute Flame Firmament is a divine rank martial technique of the White Tiger Clan! Its power is unimaginable. He actually isn''t injured at all?"


    "This Ji Canglan is merely a newly-ascended Void Mystic powerhouse, how can his strength possibly be so strong?"


    "Hang on, he''s not completely fine! Ye Yuan''s divine soul attack previously was not scattered and seemed to have affected him!"


    Similarly being a Void Mystic powerhouse, Ji Canglan''s sword light could not pose much of a threat to Rong Xiao. But to Ye Yuan, this casual slash was deadly!


    Especially when Ye Yuan''s current tribulation of the fleshy body had not finished transcending completely yet!


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he actually grabbed a bolt of lightning bare-handedly and directly hurled it at that sword light.


    Rumble!


    Being obstructed by this lightning, the sword light''s power instantly diminished considerably.


    But Ye Yuan did not stop and threw several bolts of heavenly tribulation over again. Finally, he utterly extinguished this ray of sword light.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body tribulation was also finally transcended.


    The power of a Tier 9 fleshy body let Ye Yuan possess explosive strength! This comfortable feeling made Ye Yuan practically want to tilt his head up to the sky and roar.


    "Myriad Soul Extinction! Heh heh, what a terrifying divine soul mystic art! Back then, if not for using tricks, you and Ji Zhengyang just by relying on divine soul mystic arts are not what I could contend with!"


    Even if the Myriad Soul Extinction was pestering Ji Canglan like a bone-festering maggot, he was still talking in a jovial manner currently.


    "Just broke through to Tier 9 and Little Junior Brother''s soul force is actually formidable to such a degree. Truly mind-boggling! But if you only have this bit of means, it will likely still be hard for you to escape a calamity today! You all have already made a move before. This time, it''s my turn! You guys have to be careful!" Ji Canglan said with a faint smile.


    Up until now, Ji Canglan had not attacked properly yet.


    But it was precisely because so that Ji Canglan gave people an even more mysterious and hard to fathom feeling.


    Just how powerful he was, was going to be revealed right away.


    Even the expression of someone as strong as Rong Xiao was also extremely serious at this time.


    Ji Canglan wielded a longsword in his hand and leisurely strolled over. At this moment, it was as if there was only him alone left in this world!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his expression involuntarily turned gloomy as he said icily, "You actually comprehended the eighth extreme! No wonder you could break through to the realm of Void Mystic!"


    Ji Zhengyang said with a smile, "Yeah! This Eight Extreme Sword Art was even imparted to me by Ji Zhengyang. This Eight-Direction Extreme Distance is truly shrouded in mystery! Now, I''ll let Little Junior Brother witness it!"


    The Eight Extreme Sword Art was not a divine rank martial technique, but a martial technique that Ji Zhengyang tailor-made for Ji Canglan!


    This martial technique, when cultivated to the extreme, would not be any worse off compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Ji Canglan had already comprehended the seventh extreme for a hundred years but was always unable to comprehend the eighth extreme.


    Did not expect that after he murdered his master, he actually thoroughly comprehended the eighth extreme! Truly, heaven was blind!


    Eighth extreme, Eight-Direction Extreme Distance, contained an extremely profound and abstruse concept.


    Each step that Ji Canglan took, Ye Yuan''s pressure would increase by a portion. That terrifying aura locked onto Ye Yuan from a distance.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Under such a powerful martial technique, Ye Yuan was unable to merge into heaven and earth at all. What he could do was to have a frontal-clash with Ji Canglan.


    However, this was also precisely what he hoped for!


    Rumble!


    A terrifying dragon pressure emitted from Ye Yuan''s body!


    Breaking through to Tier 9 fleshy body, Ye Yuan''s strength increased more than a hundred times compared to before.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s body was gradually being covered by green dragon scales, and directly transformed into a half-dragon physique!


    With a flip of a hand, terrifying undulations transmitted from Ye Yuan''s dragon claws.


    When Rong Xiao saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically!


    "This �� This is late-stage spirit rank dragon wave! A human actually cultivated dragon wave to such a terrifying level! How on earth did he accomplish it?"


    The four symbols family clans'' people all understood that the cultivation of dragon wave was extremely difficult. Those able to cultivate dragon wave to spirit rank within a thousand years were all people with extraordinary talent.


    But after cultivating to spirit rank, advancing another step forward was even more doubly difficult, and required the accumulation of several thousand years!


    But how old was Ye Yuan only?


    Even counting his past life''s time, Ye Yuan was also merely just several hundred years old!


    Ye Yuan was able to cultivate dragon wave to late-stage spirit rank. Genius was not enough to describe him.


    One had to know that the junior being hailed as a genius in the dragon clan only just cultivated dragon wave to initial-stage spirit rank!


    Initial-stage spirit rank and late-stage spirit rank, this disparity was not just a little.


    Only with this, did those people below know that Ye Yuan dealing with Long Jinhao previously was simply just playing around.


    But Ji Canglan was not the slightest bit moved. He already entered a mysterious state, accumulating power and awaiting release.


    No matter how the outside world changed, it had nothing to do with him as well.


    The tip of his sword suddenly lifted. A terrifying domain power instantly wrapped Ye Yuan and Rong Xiao up inside.


    This scene seemed to ring a bell!


    Back then, when the Spirit Bristle Divine King massacred a hundred divine kings, what he used was this sort of terrifying domain power!


    Inside the domain, Ji Canglan was a god!


    Countless sword qi swam around within this domain as if they were currently preparing a terrifying attack!


    Rong Xiao also revealed a visibly moved expression at this time. Ji Canglan this newly-ascended Void Mystic Realm, his strength was actually powerful to such an extent!


    Rong Xiao also opened up his domain. Except, his domain was clearly a little weaker compared to Ji Canglan''s domain.


    Under such a situation, Rong Xiao could only preserve himself too.


    Over at Ye Yuan''s side, he was completely powerless to care.


    "Late-stage spirit rank dragon wave, pretty decent! Really didn''t think that Little Junior Brother actually became powerful to such a degree in this life! However, it ends here! Eight Extremes Sword Domain, kill!" Ji Canglan was still totally unconcerned as he said.


    Following the ''kill'' word leaving his mouth, within this enormous domain, countless sword light fly around back and forth, and carried out round after round of indiscriminate attacks!


    Those countless sword lights instantly drowned Ye Yuan out.

 1009 Deceiving Everyone!

    Sensing the terrifying sword intent coming from inside the domain, everyone''s faces all changed.


    As the Medicine King Hall''s new master, in these 20 years, Ji Canglan was incomparably low-profile.


    Nobody knew about his strength. But no one would have thought that in just a mere 20 years time, Ji Canglan''s strength actually already reached such a terrifying degree.


    Currently, both parties'' great battle already reached a white-hot stage. There were divine king powerhouses falling down from the sky non-stop, or being finished off directly.


    But the Medicine King Hall''s divine king powerhouses were more than the White Tiger Clan''s.


    Along with the passing of time, the battle situation also leaned towards the Medicine King Hall''s side.


    But this great battle was bound to persist for a very long time. Right now, what the Medicine King Hall was waiting for, was for the spirit of the white tiger to be utterly taken in.


    Up high in the sky, the spirit of the white tiger was giving off roaring sounds that reverberated through the sky from time to time. He was struggling desperately.


    But his body still moved towards the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask bit by bit beyond his control.


    Currently, the spirit of the white tiger was already almost reaching the opening of the flash. A little bit more forward and he would be utterly seized.


    While the White Tiger Clan members also sensed that the strength in their bodies was flowing away little by little currently.


    Even the imposing momentum of Rong Xiao inside the Eight Extremes Sword Domain also weakened considerably for a moment. Being forced until he was staggering on his feet by countless sword lights, he actually had some trend of being unable to ward off the attacks.


    As for Ye Yuan''s side, it actually went completely silent.


    For some time, a massive change occurred to the battle situation. The Medicine King Hall already utterly overpowered the White Tiger Clan.


    "Huhu, the die is cast! Patriarch Rong Xiao, give up on resisting!" Ji Canglan said with the attitude of a victor.


    Rong Xiao''s face fell, and he said solemnly, "If you have the capabilities, bring my corpse away!"


    Ji Canglan shrugged his shoulders and said with a faint smile, "Then I �� will just have to bring Patriarch Rong Xiao''s corpse away. Except, it''s fine if you died, but could it be that you want all of your clansmen to be buried in death together with you?"


    Rong Xiao''s expression changed, and a look of struggle surfaced on his face.


    But right then, a terrifying undulation suddenly came from high up in the sky!


    Everyone lifted their heads in astonishment and looked towards the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask. Only to see a figure suddenly appear high up in the sky. That figure wielded a short stick in his hand and was currently speeding towards the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask with an incredible speed!


    That figure was none other than precisely Ye Yuan!


    The current Ye Yuan was bathed in blood all over, his entire body like he crawled out from a sea of blood.


    But the dragon pressure on him already reached the peak at this time!


    The expression on Ji Canglan''s face had a change for the first time.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan covered in wounds in shock, but it was already too late to want to stop Ye Yuan!


    "Sacred Dragon Token! That is �� the Sacred Dragon Token! The Sacred Dragon Token which disappeared for 100 thousand years is actually in Ji Qingyun''s hands!"


    Rong Xiao was incomparably shocked too, his eyes glued on the Sacred Dragon Token in Ye Yuan''s hand!


    Suddenly, Rong Xiao let out a roaring laugh and said, "Hahaha! Truly, heaven is protecting my White Tiger Clan! Ji Canglan, you used all sorts of intrigues and wiles, didn''t think that in the end, you were still defeated at Ji Qingyun''s hands, right?"


    "I offer my blood as sacrifice to the heavenly dragon! Sacred Dragon Token, break for me!"


    Ye Yuan gave a loud roar, and fresh blood immediately sprayed wildly! But his blood did not fade with the wind but poured frenziedly into the Sacred Dragon Token.


    At the same time, the divine essence within Ye Yuan''s body also poured crazily into the Sacred Dragon Token like it was free.


    In virtually an instant, 25% of Ye Yuan''s blood essence was drawn away!


    "Roar!"


    An enormous azure dragon broke free from inside the Sacred Dragon Token and charged over towards the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask.


    Right at this time, the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask was not willing to show weakness either and immediately radiated with a brilliant splendor, and actually immediately gave up on capturing the white tiger spirit. It released a streak of ghostly light towards the azure dragon!


    Rumble!


    A blinding light was released up in the sky. A massive spatial rift appeared in the sky.


    The pinnacle confrontation of two mighty divine artifacts fought until space virtually cracked apart.


    The divine king powerhouses in the sky were also injured by this terrifying impact. All of them staggered back and dropped down from the sky.


    "Roar ��"


    Without the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask''s constraint, the spirit of the white tiger gave off earth-shaking roars.


    Ye Yuan''s figure also dropped down from the sky powerlessly.


    The power of this attack already exhausted all of Ye Yuan''s strength. Being drained of 25% of his blood essence in an instant, this was simply something that could take one''s life.


    This Sacred Dragon Token''s method of usage, Ye Yuan learned of it from Long Teng there.


    Without Deity Realm strength, one was simply unable to unleash the true power of the Sacred Dragon Token. Even having divine essence would not cut it either.


    But the Sacred Dragon Token as the dragon race''s most powerful divine artifact, one could use dragon race blood essence to drive it.


    Ye Yuan did not sit and wait helplessly for death being imprisoned inside the Eight Extremes Sword Domain.


    In that instant, Ji Canglan unleashed the Eight Extremes Sword Domain, Ye Yuan''s late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was already launched!


    Ye Yuan broke through to Tier 9 fleshy body. Coupled with the late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, the power was unimaginable. But this palm of his was not launched at Ji Canglan, but directly detonated on the spot!


    The injuries on Ye Yuan''s body were not caused by the Eight Extremes Sword Domain but caused by the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s explosion.


    Detonating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm within an extremely small area, Ye Yuan was virtually committing suicide here. That power was sufficient to blast himself to death.


    However, it was by relying on this explosion that Ye Yuan forcefully opened up an extremely small no-man''s-land inside the Eight Extremes Sword Domain, a vacuum zone that did not belong to the Eight Extremes Sword Domain!


    Withstanding this intense explosion, Ye Yuan directly merged into heaven and earth and reached high up in the sky with one teleport, and launched a heaven-shaking attack against the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask!


    To be able to break apart the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, there was only the similarly divine artifact, Sacred Dragon Token.


    This move deceived everyone. Ye Yuan practically completed it in an instant. Everyone did not react to it, including Ji Canglan!


    Talking about it was simple, but in-between this, as long as there was the slightest bit of error, not only would Ye Yuan be directly hacked into meat paste by the Eight Extremes Sword Domain, he would also be blown into minced meat by his own Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    From the start, Ye Yuan''s objective was not Ji Canglan, but the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask!


    Because he knew that his current strength could not kill Ji Canglan at all.


    While Ji Canglan risked universal condemnation and wanted to eradicate the White Tiger Clan straight away and capture the white tiger spirit. There was definitely a heaven-shocking conspiracy.


    Once they let him prevail, the outcome would be unimaginable.


    And among the people present today, only one person had the ability to break the deadlock.


    That was Ye Yuan himself!


    Hence, he offered up his blood essence as the price without the slightest hesitation and activated the Sacred Dragon Token.


    After one attack, the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask''s aura became a great deal more lackluster all at once and was completely unable to capture the white tiger spirit anymore.


    That white tiger spirit seemed to have been frightened too. After breaking free, he directly turned into a multi-colored stream of light and entered inside the totem territory, not coming out anymore.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Right at this time, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!


    Ji Canglan''s figure immediately vanished on the spot. The Eight Extremes Sword Domain also scattered and dispersed with a loud bang. Rong Xiao finally broke free.


    However, Rong Xiao''s expression changed drastically too. Because the direction Ji Canglan was going in was precisely Ye Yuan there!


    A terrifying aura rushed towards Ye Yuan at a speed invisible to the naked eye.


    "Ji Qingyun!" Rong Xiao gave a loud cry, a look of hopelessness revealing on his face.


    At this time, he was already too far away to help!

 1010 Number One Beauty in the Divine Realm!

    Ji Canglan''s speed was extremely fast. In virtually a blink of an eye, he already arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    With Ji Canglan''s strength, nobody among the people present could stop him at all.


    Currently, Ye Yuan already fell unconscious and was totally unaware that he was so close to death.


    Of course, even if he was aware, suffering such severe injuries, it was also not possible to make any counterattacks.


    "Ji Canglan, if you dare to kill Ji Qingyun, my White Tiger Clan will not stop until your death!" Rong Xiao roared.


    However, Ji Canglan did not delay at all. A sword already arrived in front of Ye Yuan!


    Yet, right at this critical moment, boundless snowflakes that filled the sky suddenly appeared in the sky! Virtually in an instant, the entire world became a vast expanse of whiteness.


    At this moment, it was as if the whole world froze.


    A fierce wind swept up waves of snowflakes, attempting to stop Ji Canglan''s advancement.


    It was very strange, those delicate snowflakes actually made Ji Canglan''s speed fall sharply. In the end, he was actually unable to advance an inch forward anymore.


    A lithe and graceful figure appeared in the wind and snow. Only to see her beckon with a hand. Countless flurries of snow formed an ice bed below Ye Yuan''s body, letting Ye Yuan land slowly.


    This woman was exceedingly cold and gorgeous as if she was an ice mountain. But her unparalleled looks virtually made all women turn colorless!


    "Ji Canglan, I won''t let you kill him a second time!" The woman''s words were nonchalant but revealed determination.


    Ji Canglan put away his sword and stood there, but thought nothing of this cold and beautiful to the extreme woman in front of him.


    "Since Lingxue came forward, I''ll let him off today. However, you have to watch Little Junior Brother closely. Next time, he won''t be so lucky!"


    "Next time, he''ll definitely kill you!" Spirit Snow Divine King said coldly.


    This woman was actually the one known as the number one beauty in the Divine Realm, Spirit Snow Divine King, Mu Lingxue! Her sudden appearance finally resolved Ye Yuan''s predicament.


    Ji Canglan smiled but declined to comment. His figure moved and vanished from sight.


    The moment Ji Canglan left, the Medicine King Hall''s other experts also left one after another.


    The White Tiger Clan suffered heavy casualties. At this point, they were completely powerless to stop the departure of the Medicine King Hall''s experts.


    Spirit Snow Divine King looked at the Ye Yuan lying on the ground. A hint of tenderness flickered across her gaze.


    The Divine Realm''s number one beauty, Spirit Snow Divine King, probably only when facing him, would she revealed this hint of tenderness, right?


    "I chased after Ji Canglan until here, didn''t expect that I actually ran into you! Since you came back to the Divine Realm, why didn''t you come and look for me?"


    Spirit Snow Divine King muttered to herself, but two clear rows of tears flowed down from her eyes.


    ...


    After the great battle, the White Tiger Clan was in a state of ruin. The losses were immense.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    When Ye Yuan woke up, it was already ten days later.


    The current Ye Yuan was incomparably frail. It was as if his entire person was drained dry.


    He heard from Li-er about the matters after he fell unconscious. Ye Yuan never would have dreamed that he was actually saved by Mu Lingxue in the end.


    After Ji Canglan left, Mu Lingxue also left immediately.


    "Lingxue still hates me!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    "The Spirit Snow Divine King she �� should still be in love with Big Brother Yuan, right? Otherwise, how could she possibly take action to rescue you? Furthermore, the timing she showed up was so coincidental. Most likely, she has constantly been paying attention to Ji Canglan''s movements too. This indicates that she might have been thinking of avenging you all along!" Li-er hesitated for a bit but still said it in the end.


    Towards the Spirit Snow Divine King, Li-er''s feelings were very complicated too.


    But she would not become jealous like the average girl. On the contrary, she even harbored some remorse towards the Spirit Snow Divine King.


    On that day, Ye Yuan locked Li-er and White Light inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and did not give them the chance to come out at all. They were very anxious inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda but completely could not do anything.


    Hearing Li-er''s words, Ye Yuan also did not know what he should say.


    Previous life, Ji Qingyun looked down upon the Divine Realm, his status was incomparably revered. Only romance this word, he left behind this regret.


    Reviving, Ye Yuan got together with Li-er at the behest of supernatural powers. This could not be said to not be destiny making a fool of men.


    When Ye Yuan came back to his senses, he noticed that Li-er''s expression was rather odd, and asked, "Li-er, if there''s anything you want to say, just say it. Between you and I, do we still need to make distinctions?"


    Li-er suddenly lowered her head and used a mosquito-like voice to say softly, "Big Brother Yuan, actually �� Li-er doesn''t mind."


    Ye Yuan froze, and laughed in spite of himself and said, "You lass, what are you saying? It''s still more of a debt towards Lingxue. Sigh, this favor, it will probably be hard to pay off for a lifetime!"


    Li-er was delighted in her heart. But had an additional trace of loss.


    Ye Yuan valued relationships the most. He himself already said that Spirit Snow Divine King''s favor could not be repaid for life.


    How could this entanglement be that easy to sort out?


    The hardest to pay off in this world was a debt of love.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s feelings towards Mu Lingxue, most likely even he himself was unable to say clearly, right?


    "Big Brother, you finally woke up!" Right then, White Light''s voice suddenly sounded out, interrupting the two people''s thoughts.


    Ye Yuan looked over and saw White Light left Head Elder Rong Kun over.


    When Rong Kun saw Ye Yuan, he also cupped his fists and said, "Younger Brother Ji finally woke up. If Younger Brother had a mishap, my White Tiger Clan would really have wronged Your Excellency."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder, it is best to call me Ye Yuan. Ji Qingyun is already a bygone."


    Rong Kun was startled in his heart but still said, "Huhu, Younger Brother Ye lost too much blood essence in order to unleash the Sacred Dragon Token this time. The clan has already prepared many blood essence recovering spirit medicines for Younger Brother. This time, this old man brought it over at the same time."


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Then Ye Yuan will accept it respectfully. Thank you very much, Head Elder."


    "What''s Younger Brother Ye talking about. This time, if not for you, our White Tiger Clan would have already utterly disappeared from the Divine Realm. Want to thank, it also has to be this old man who says it to you." Rong Kun waved his hand and said.


    Talking about this, Ye Yuan''s expression darkened as well and said, "Ji Canglan locked on the target on the White Tiger Clan this time. What he''s plotting is most likely not small. Furthermore, according to what I know, there isn''t the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, this grade of divine artifact, in the Medicine King Hall at all. I feel that there''s likely someone currently brewing a tremendous conspiracy in the Divine Realm!"


    Rong Kun also nodded when he heard that and said, "What Patriarch Rong Xiao is worried about is also this! Ji Canglan knows about my White Tiger Clan like the palm of his own hand. Even an existence on the level of the white tiger spirit, he''s also aware. The operation this time, he has likely prepared for a long time already. Patriarch already informed the other three clan patriarchs of the four symbols family clans to let them be more careful. My White Tiger Clan having traitors, it''s hard to ensure that the other three clans don''t have traitors."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and could not help falling silent.


    At present, the Divine Realm was endlessly turbulent. That enormous hand at the back seemed to have already gradually revealed its fangs.


    The Medicine King Hall openly making a move against the White Tiger Clan this time, regardless of success or failure, it would shock the entire Divine Realm.


    Existences on the level of super holy lands always stayed low and restrained. It was already uncertain how many years it had been since such a large-scale divine king battle had been instigated before.


    Through this incident, the Medicine King Hall''s ambition was also laid completely bare!

 1011 Sacred Dragon Tokens Master

    Chatting idly for a couple more sentences, Rong Kun actually became somewhat evasive when talking.


    Ye Yuan knew that he definitely had some words too hard to speak up. Hence, he said, "Whatever words Head Elder has, just be straight with it."


    Rong Kun appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, "Haha, Younger Brother Ye, the incident this time was stirred up so big, many things can''t be concealed anymore either. It''s fine that you''re bearing the dragon race''s bloodline, it''s just that this Sacred Dragon Token ��"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he understood, and opened his mouth to ask, "Someone came from the dragon clan?"


    Rong Kun nodded his head and said, "The Azure Dragon Clan''s Head Elder, Long Zaitian, personally brought people and came over. But Patriarch Rong Xiao blocked them first with Younger Brother Ye''s body not being recovered as the reason. It''s just that this Sacred Dragon Token is of utmost importance, they likely won''t be willing to leave the matter at that."


    The dragon clan''s supreme divine artifact, Sacred Dragon Token, was lost for over 100 thousand years. Now that it re-appeared in the Divine Realm, it was impossible for the dragon clan to not have any indication at all.


    Such a treasure being left behind outside was a joke to the dragon clan in the first place.


    Now that they knew that the Sacred Dragon Token was in Ye Yuan''s hands, they would think of ways to get it back no matter what.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Currently, there was the White Tiger Clan blocking. The dragon clan might still say a couple of nice words. If Ye Yuan was not willing to hand it over, they would definitely resort to martial strength in the end too.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Looks like this trip to the dragon clan is a must. Forget it, make a trip then. It''s also time for Senior Long Teng and the dragon clan''s grudge to be resolved."


    Although Long Teng had never talked with him about his history before, Ye Yuan was also more or less able to guess a little.


    Even though as long as 50 thousand years had passed, some knots of the heart, Long Teng likely still could not put it down.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan agreed to go to the dragon clan, Rong Kun also heaved a sigh in relief.


    The White Tiger Clan was currently already in a precarious situation. If Ye Yuan was not willing to go to the dragon clan, the White Tiger Clan definitely could not look on with folded arms either. At that time, they would fall into a dilemma.


    "Younger Brother Ye, rest assured, going to the dragon clan this time, this old man will travel together with you. If any of them dare to touch you, they must step over this old man''s dead body!" Rong Kun patted his chest and said.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Then I''ll have to trouble Head Elder!"


    Ye Yuan knew that Rong Kun accompanying him on the trip was likely that the White Tiger Clan had long discussed it already. Therefore, he did not turn it down either.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was the entire White Tiger Clan''s benefactor. They were unable to fight to the bitter end with the dragon clan, and could only do it to this sort of extent.


    ...


    After chatting with White Light for a while, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion to recuperate.


    He had indeed expended too much this time. If he did not have a solid foundation, he might even have directly croaked.


    He first withstood his own late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, and was already badly wounded. Next, he had 25% of his blood essence extracted by the Sacred Dragon Token, nearly draining him into a human jerky.


    This degree of injury was virtually too far gone for many martial artists.


    Even if their wounds healed, their martial Dao foundation was basically wasted too.


    But this did not count for anything to Ye Yuan.


    A super faction like the White Tiger Clan, their spirit medicine reserves were very abundant. He only needed to recuperate his injuries and refine some blood essence recovering medicinal pills would do.


    It was a little slow, but it was still not to the extent that it would take his life.


    After an appropriate amount of rest, Ye Yuan finally fully recovered his strength. And in this period of time, Ye Yuan also broke through quite a few cultivation realms in succession, directly reaching peak Phaseless Realm already.


    This was entirely the sequela from him forcefully stimulating the primeval dragon bone. Plus this one month''s time, he ate countless spirit medicines. Hence, his cultivation realm could not be stopped anymore as well, jumping up three levels.


    Obtaining Rong Kun''s answer, the dragon clan''s Long Zaitian did not interrupt Ye Yuan as well, and actually reined in his impatience and waited for him for a month''s time.


    Presumably, this was also looking on account of the White Tiger Clan''s face.


    A month later, Ye Yuan left seclusion but saw an old friend.


    The Black Dragon Clan''s patriarch, Ao Lin!


    The Black Dragon Clan''s standing among the Azure Dragon Clan was identical with the Crimsonflame Clan''s status in the White Tiger Clan, belonging to one of the most powerful branches.


    Ao Lin had requested medicinal pills from Ye Yuan before. With this to and fro, the two people became very close friends.


    Ye Yuan''s understanding of the dragon clan was also mostly through Ao Lin.


    When Ao Lin saw Ye Yuan, he said emotionally, "Oh, Younger Brother, back then when I heard of your demise, Elder Brother, I, had no appetite for food and drinks for several months, and had no mood to cultivate as well. Hearing your news this time, Elder Brother repeatedly pleaded with Patriarch to definitely make a trip with Head Elder."


    Ye Yuan smashed a fist on his chest and said with a smile, "At least you, this old fellow, have some conscience! But coming this time, it isn''t with good intentions!"


    Ao Lin''s expression turned slightly stiff and was rather embarrassed.


    Him coming this time, saying it a bit nicely was to invite Ye Yuan back. Saying it nastily was to abduct Ye Yuan back. His identity was also very awkward.


    "Younger Brother, I �� " Ao Lin said embarrassedly.


    Ye Yuan sniggered and said, "You old punk, still the same ol'' honest blockhead! Just cracking a joke, you even took it seriously!"


    Ao Lin this person was a very inflexible person. But was also rather loyal to friends; suited Ye Yuan''s temperament very much.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan did not like to play those little tricks. Therefore, he liked to make friends with straightforward people. This Ao Lin was one of them.


    Ye Yuan helped Ao Lin with a great favor back then. This Ao Lin was naturally endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.


    It was just that now, things were still the same, but the people were no longer the same. When Ao Lin saw Ye Yuan''s appearance, he could not help sighing deeply as he said, "Many years of not seeing, didn''t expect that Younger Brother, you �� actually took on this appearance!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "What''s bad about this? To me, it might not be a bad thing! Head Elder, I still have some matters to attend to in the White Tiger Clan. I''ll travel together with you all to the dragon clan tomorrow, is it alright?"


    Long Zaitian already waited for a month, he naturally did not care about this one day either, and there obviously was no reason to not permit it. He could only open his mouth and say, "Master Qingyun Zi, this Sacred Dragon Token �� could you lend it to this old man for a look?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Of course there''s no problem."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan directly took out the fire rod-like Sacred Dragon Token. The dragon pressure emitting off of the Sacred Dragon Token made Long Zaitian and co. all feel waves of terror.


    Ye Yuan was not afraid of Long Zaitian stealing it either and directly threw it to him.


    The Sacred Dragon Token already acknowledged him as its master. Unless Long Zaitian killed him, otherwise, even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token, he was unable to use it too.


    And Rong Kun was present as well. This place was the White Tiger Clan''s territory too. Even if Long Zaitian was loaned two hands, he could not kill him either.


    Long Zaitian lightly caressed the Sacred Dragon Token, like he was stroking his own lover, unable to take his hands of it.


    "Over a hundred thousand years already! The Sacred Dragon Token was lost for a full 100 over thousand years! This time, it finally returned to the dragon clan!" Long Zaitian said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    The meaning in his words was like Ye Yuan already agreed to return the Sacred Dragon Token.


    But how was this possible?


    In this world, nobody would hand over a divine artifact so casually to others, right?


    Even Ye Yuan could not do it either.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Head Elder had best stop dreaming. The Sacred Dragon Token, I won''t return to the dragon clan! Right now, I''m the Sacred Dragon Token''s master!"

 1012 Not happy, Suck It Up

    Done talking, Ye Yuan silently recited an incantation. The Sacred Dragon Token actually directly broke free of the palm of Long Zaitian''s hands and returned to Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Long Zaitian''s face turned black. The originally amicable atmosphere was immediately utterly ruined.


    "Ji Qingyun, I call you Qingyun Zi, doesn''t meant that you can treat the dragon clan anyhow you please! Disregarding that you''re currently all alone in the world, even when you were still the Medicine King Hall''s young lord back then, my dragon clan will also have to retrieve this Sacred Dragon Token! This Sacred Dragon Token, you got to hand it over whether you want to or not!" Long Zaitian said in a solemn voice.


    But Ye Yuan was not annoyed in the slightest. Instead, he said with a faint smile, "If I didn''t remember wrongly, regarding this Sacred Dragon Token, the dragon clan seems to have a rule, right?"


    Long Zaitian could not help choking up. Only now did he recall that rule.


    The person able to make the Sacred Dragon Token acknowledge as its master was the leader of the dragon clan!


    Just now, Ye Yuan summoned back the Sacred Dragon Token effortlessly. Clearly, the Sacred Dragon Token had already acknowledged him as master. That was to say that Ye Yuan was currently the lord of the dragon clan!


    This �� What nonsense?


    How could a human possibly become the lord of the dragon clan?


    But the problem was, why would the Sacred Dragon Token acknowledge a human as its master? Where did this outcome put them, these true dragon clansmen?


    No idea why, Long Zaitian actually became angry with a mere tool.


    Seeing Long Zaitian''s reaction, Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Looks like Head Elder knows about this rule. Then it''s easy to settle. Putting aside other things for the time being, just your attitude earlier, shouldn''t you apologize to me first? Or is Head Elder planning to disrespect your forefathers?"


    A faint smile hung on Ye Yuan''s face, quietly awaiting Head Elder''s apology.


    Ao Lin seriously could not look on anymore. Seeing Long Zaitian in a bind, he could only say to Ye Yuan, "Younger Brother, this �� Head Elder was also anxious for a moment and didn''t have the intention of offending. Looking on account of Elder Brother''s face �� let it go?"


    Long Zaitian''s expression was very ugly. Ye Yuan holding the Sacred Dragon Token in his hand was equivalent to holding a royal regalia. Even if he went the dragon clan, he could also do as he pleased!


    Unless they really disrespected their forefathers and snatched away the Sacred Dragon Token in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    But think of how they treated the lineage of bloodline as the most important in the family clan, they naturally also respected their forefathers the most. Making them go against this ancestral teaching was simply even harder than carving off the flesh.


    Long Zaitian suddenly felt that this Sacred Dragon Token was simply like a fish bone stuck in the throat; unable to go up nor go down, suffocating to the extreme.


    Ao Lin''s face, Ye Yuan naturally had to give. Hence, he nodded and said, "Alright then, I''ll give Elder Brother, you, face today. But �� not to be taken as a precedent! I''m the master of the Sacred Dragon Token. Even if you guys are unhappy about me, you have to at least maintain due respect on the surface. As long as you don''t let me see it, however you all talk in private, that''s your business."


    Ye Yuan knew that going to the dragon clan this time, he would definitely have many difficulties.


    The final goal was naturally for the Sacred Dragon Token''s ownership.


    Furthermore, his current strength was indeed a little weak. Even if they knew that he was Ji Qingyun, it was also not possible to truly attach importance to him.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan''s objective was very simple: if there was unhappiness, suck it up!


    Otherwise, it was disrespecting the forefathers!


    This crime was not what the average dragon race member could take on.


    ...


    After a round of not-very-merry meeting, Ye Yuan went to see Rong Xiao again.


    His goal of meeting Rong Xiao was very simple, he wanted to bring away a few people from the White Tiger Dungeon.


    Originally, he was planning on directly taking the people away. But now that the White Tiger Clan owed him a tremendous favor, this bit of request was not considered over the top as well.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was not letting them go, but enslaving them for several thousand years. It was also considered continuing to atone for the things they did before as well.


    When Ye Yuan''s figure appeared in the White Tiger Dungeon once more, it caused a stir again.


    "I''m only bringing three people out. My requirement isn''t high: be my servant for a thousand years, and I''ll let you guys go free!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Ye Yuan''s sentence immediately caused an uproar.


    He bargained with Rong Xiao and finally obtained three quotas.


    These people were all the White Tiger Clan''s felons. For Rong Xiao to be able to give Ye Yuan three quotas was already going by a massive backdoor.


    Moreover, Rong Xiao knew that the people Ye Yuan was bringing away were definitely all people with extremely formidable strength.


    Even if it was just a thousand years, if the other party took revenge on the White Tiger Clan in the future, the White Tiger Clan would likely suffer heavy casualties.


    This, Rong Xiao actually took on a tremendous risk.


    Everybody did not think that Ye Yuan actually really realized his promise back then, and was going to bring people out!


    Especially those people who mocked Ye Yuan the last time, each and every one of them was on tenterhooks, fearful of Ye Yuan directly rejecting them.


    They were already trapped in the White Tiger Dungeon for god knows how many years. More than half of their strength was already lost. Carrying on to waste away like this, it was also an outcome of death.


    This damned place, they did not wish to stay for a second anymore.


    Ao Qian was naturally the first one to sign up. He immediately shouted loudly, "Younger Brother, I''m willing to be your servant for a thousand, no, two thousand years! As long as you bring me out! Look, Elder Teng and I came from the same lineage. You have got to consider me first no matter what, isn''t that so?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "You count as one! Enter a soul contract first, the White Tiger Clan will naturally let you out."


    The moment Ao Qian heard, he could not help being overjoyed and hurriedly signed a soul contract with Ye Yuan. This transaction was also considered done.


    Rumble!


    The dungeon gates opened with a loud crash. A dark figure leaped out. It was actually an azure dragon!


    "Hahaha! I, Ao Qian, was trapped for 20 thousand years! I finally came out!" Ao Qian laughed wildly.


    After a while of unbridled dancing in the air, Ao Qian finally turned into human form and came before Ye Yuan to bow in salute as he said, "Ao Qian has seen Your Excellency!"


    Seeing that Ao Qian really went out, the rest could not hold back anymore as well.


    "Your Excellency, I''m willing to become your servant!"


    "Your Excellency, I''m willing too!"


    These criminals all fell over each other in a mad rush to be first, afraid of being left out by Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not pick those people with low strength.


    He asked Ao Qian, "Apart from you, who else is the strongest in this place?"


    Ao Qian gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said, "Replying Your Excellency, this place, apart from me, just Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang''s strength are the strongest. Apart from them, there are still quite a few divine king powerhouses. It''s just that their strength compared to the two of them are all a notch inferior."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Who you''re talking about should be those two people who questioned me the last time, right?"


    The moment these words came out, Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang, the two of them, their breathing could not help become disorderly.


    This sentence was practically sentencing them to death!


    At this moment, the two of them wished that they could slap their mouths mushy.


    This mouth was so despicable, no point in wanting it either!


    "Your Excellency, I �� I''m a frog at the bottom of a well! My dog eyes were blind! I, Wu Luo, am willing to become Your Excellency''s servant! I beg Your Excellency to bring me out!" Wu Luo practically said with a wail.


    "Your Excellency, I was wrong! I shouldn''t have acted like a snob! Your Excellency, I''m begging you to take me out! This damn place, I don''t wish to stay for a second anymore! As long as Your Excellency bring me out, even if I slave and toil, Jiang Taicang is perfectly happy to do so too!"


    Jiang Taicang was even more direct, immediately slapping his own mouth, going slap-slap.

 1013 Accepting Servants

    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said impatiently, "Don''t give me that in front of me. Talk to me, why were you guys locked up in here?"


    The two people froze. Wu Luo opened his mouth and said embarrassedly, "Actually, I was born in the White Tiger Suppression Martial Clan. When I was young, because I formed an enmity with an elder in the clan, in a rage, I killed the other party. Later, I escaped from the White Tiger Clan. Didn''t expect that 200 years later, I was actually still captured back."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head when he heard that and said, "Alright then, you count as one. Enter a soul contract then. 2000 years, take it as a punishment for the incident last time."


    Wu Luo froze. When he reacted to it, he could not help being wildly ecstatic.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually brushed over the matter last time so easily.


    In his view, Ye Yuan definitely wanted powerful helpers. Hence, that was why he would bring them out. But he did not have eyes and offended Ye Yuan the last time, even if Ye Yuan wanted him, he would definitely make him pay a painful price too.


    Did not think that Ye Yuan just casually added a thousand years and agreed to it.


    A thousand years might be rather long, but compared to the White Tiger Dungeon, he was more willing to be outside.


    To an expert who was trapped for several thousand years, there was nothing more precious than freedom.


    "Many thanks, Your Excellency! Many thanks, Your Excellency! Don''t say 2000 years, even 3000 years, I''m willing too!" Wu Luo said excitedly.


    Wu Luo immediately entered a soul contract with Ye Yuan without another word, to be Ye Yuan''s servant for 2000 years.


    Ye Yuan''s breadth of mind was not narrow to this sort of degree; to seek revenge for the smallest grievance because of one or two words. He had a condition for bringing people out: people whose crimes were inexpiable, he did not want.


    Wu Luo just killed an elder because of a grudge. This sort of thing was a severe crime to the White Tiger Clan, but it was actually happening in every corner of the Divine Realm every day. It did not count as some unforgivable crime.


    Furthermore, for Wu Luo to be able to cultivate to such a boundary and be able to kill a White Tiger Clan''s elder, that by itself showed how formidable his strength was.


    Seeing Wu Luo break free, Jiang Taicang became very anxious.


    "Y-Your Excellency, w-what about me?" Jiang Taicang said weakly, cold sweat pouring out.


    Ye Yuan voiced his assent and said, "You talk about it too."


    Jiang Taicang recounted his experiences very fidgety. But it was rather wondrous.


    This guy was a human, but cultivated the ''sacred hand dao.'' (CHECK)


    Putting it bluntly, he was a thief!


    Jiang Taicang''s strength was heaven-piercing, but could not change the habit of kleptomania. 5000 years ago, the White Tiger Clan organized a sacrificial grand ceremony and prepared several top-notch sacrificial goods. Who knew that this guy actually directly pocketed those few sacrificial goods.


    The white tiger spirit was not lacking those few sacrificial goods. But it survived through the White Tiger Clan''s powers of faith.


    Those few sacrificial goods were entrusted with the White Tiger Clan''s powers of faith. Being taken away by Jiang Taicang like this, how could the White Tiger Clan not be furious?


    Hence, the White Tiger Clan''s patriarch back then personally moved out, chased him down for a full two year''s time, and finally captured him back.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    To be able to escape from under the White Tiger Patriarch''s hands for a full two years, Jiang Taicang could also be sufficiently proud.


    Hearing Jiang Taicang''s experiences, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, immediately deciding on him.


    Thereupon, this three-person group was also considered officially formed. The other people''s strengths were clearly more than a level weaker than the three of them. Ye Yuan did not consider anymore either.


    As for Ao Qian, Ye Yuan also asked about his situation.


    As a result, the reason why he was imprisoned shocked Ye Yuan too.


    This guy actually challenged the White Tiger Clan and swallowed a 50 thousand-year-old crane essence inside a mystic realm. As a result, he was immediately captured by the White Tiger Clan.


    Crane essence was not a white crane that became a demon, but a kind of longevity-promoting spirit medicine. It was not within the scope of the nine tiers.


    A 50 thousand years old crane essence was sufficient to extend a person''s longevity by more than a fold!


    At that time, Ao Qian was also anxious until his eyes turned red. Looking as his time was almost up and that he was going to pass away in meditation, how could he care about whether it offended the White Tiger Clan? He directly swallowed it.


    In the end, he lived until now, but was also locked up inside this White Tiger Dungeon, never to rise again!


    Back then, the White Tiger Patriarch said: Didn''t you devour the crane essence? Then I''ll let you savor the taste of waiting for death inside the White Tiger dungeon well!


    The White Tiger Clan sealed Ao Qian''s demonic core and sealed off his bloodline power. He could not do anything inside this dungeon at all, and could only stare blankly with his eyes open.


    This stare was more than 20 thousand years!


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would really stare all the way here until death.


    However, while these three people''s strengths were formidable, being sealed inside this White Tiger Dungeon, the effect on them was immense.


    Even if Ye Yuan let them out, without a thousand year''s time, it was very hard for them to recover to the peak.


    Their current strength was at most the level of ordinary divine kings too; a long shot away from their peak period.


    Reaching the Divine King Realm, each step taken was extremely arduous.


    Unless it was the Ten Great Divine Kings, that kind of peerless geniuses, otherwise, to many Divine King experts, they would pretty much be like that for their entire lives.


    Ye Yuan bringing the three people out, Rong Xiao naturally could not dispense with a warning.


    His expression was very grim as he said coldly, "The three of your matters, you know it yourself! You all are my White Tiger Clan''s mortal enemies! Ye Yuan is my White Tiger Clan''s savior, that''s why this seat gave him three quotas. However �� there''s also an agreement between Ye Yuan and me. After returning you guys your freedom in the future, if you dare to come to find trouble with my White Tiger Clan, he''ll personally cut the three of you down! Don''t doubt my words, if Ye Yuan wants to kill you all, he might only require several decades! After a thousand years, you won''t even be fit to carry his shoes for him! Following him might be the luckiest thing in the three of your lives!"


    When Ao Qian trio heard that, their expressions all changed. To be able to make the White Tiger Patriarch say this sort of words, Ye Yuan was clearly very extraordinary.


    Furthermore, Rong Xiao said it, Ye Yuan was the White Tiger Clan''s savior.


    What kind of incident could make the White Tiger Clan release the three most important people in the dungeon?


    These three people were not stupid and knew that they had underestimated Ye Yuan too much previously.


    After the joy of getting out of prison settled down, they became aware that they seemed to have followed a very remarkable master!


    Especially Ao Qian, he was the clearest what kind of existence Long Teng was.


    In that era, Long Teng was reputed as the dragon clan''s most powerful genius after Divine Dao dwindled to zero!


    Even he acknowledged Ye Yuan like so. This child was bound to be extraordinary!


    Of course, when Ye Yuan took them into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, their astonishment reached an even more unsurpassable height.


    This was a quasi-divine artifact!


    Ye Yuan''s figure appeared and said nonchalantly to the three people, "The three of you following me, I naturally won''t treat you guys shabbily. My current strength isn''t there yet. When I break through to Dao Profound, I should be able to refine medicinal pills for you guys. At that time, it should be able to help you all recover to peak strength. Of course, Tier 9 spirit medicines aren''t that easy to find. This period of time, I''ll keep an eye out for you all."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the three people endlessly shocked.


    Breaking through to Dao Profound Realm and he could refine medicinal pills?


    The medicinal pills that the three of them required were high-grade Tier 9!

 1014 Emperor Qi

    "Patriarch, Ji Qingyun is insolent and disrespectful, and really took the Sacred Dragon Token to be his belonging! I''m really perplexed why the Sacred Dragon Token would choose a human."


    When Long Zaitian returned to the clan, the moment he saw the Azure Dragon Patriarch, Ao Duo, he poured out all of the grievances during this period.


    Ye Yuan having the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands was like a porcupine; unable bite down at all.


    But Aoduo did not have Long Zaitian''s fretfulness. He just said coolly, "A divine artifact is an item with a spirit. Moreover, the Sacred Dragon Token is a heavenly divine artifact. It has its own reasons for picking Ji Qingyun. What I mind more is that Ji Qingyun has only resurrected for 20 years, why would his bloodline power be so powerful? Heard Jianbo say that his bloodline power actually exceeded the limits of the Bloodsoul Stone. This is simply something inconceivable."


    On the day when Ao Jianbo was severely wounded by the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation, it was also thanks to Ye Yuan breaking the deadlock that he got away with his life. At this time, he was currently recuperating inside the clan.


    Getting Ye Yuan over, it was naturally impossible for Ao Duo to not do a comprehensive understanding of Ye Yuan.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan had come to the dragon clan before. But at that time, he was the high and lofty Qingyun Zi. No one in the entire Divine Realm dared to provoke.


    In this life, Ye Yuan was merely Ye Yuan. But the dragon clan''s own clan rules gave Au Duo a big headache.


    After Long Zaitian brought Ye Yuan back, the dragon clan could only wait upon Ye Yuan with good food and drinks. Ao Duo did not have the intention of meeting.


    If he really met, it would be embarrassing to open his mouth instead.


    It was just that the thing that made Ao Duo found it hard to conceive was not just the Sacred Dragon Token in his possession, there was also Ye Yuan''s dragon race bloodline.


    "This �� could it be that the White Tiger Clan''s Bloodsoul Stone had problems?" Long Zaitian said rather uncertainly.


    Ao Duo shook his head and said, "Shouldn''t be! Zaitian, say, since he obtained the Sacred Dragon Token, could he have obtained a genuine divine beast bloodline?"


    Long Zaitian was startled inwardly and looked at Ao Duo strangely.


    The so-called genuine divine beast bloodline was naturally the bloodline of a Deity Realm Azure Dragon powerhouse!


    This sort of thing was simply a priceless treasure.


    And genuine divine beast bloodline had never been seen before ever since Divine Dao dwindled to zero.


    Now that the Sacred Dragon Token came into being, divine beast bloodline coming into being was naturally nothing strange either.


    "With Patriarch saying so, it really is like that! Only a divine beast bloodline can make the Bloodsoul Stone unable to withstand it, right? Patriarch, this boy is certain that we don''t dare to touch him, that''s why he followed me back to the dragon clan. Why not ��"


    Long Zaitian gave a vicious look. That meaning was obviously to dispose of Ye Yuan and forcefully snatch the Sacred Dragon Token and bloodline.


    But Ao Duo shook his head and said, "This matter still needs to be thought through at length. It has to be Ji Qingyun handing it over willingly. Going against the ancestral teachings, this sort of thing, isn''t considered much among humans. But among my demon race, especially to the Azure Dragon Clan, it''s a massive matter. Unless there are no other alternatives, this seat doesn''t wish to come to that point."


    Long Zaitian''s face fell slightly, but he nodded his head.


    He was aware of Ao Duo''s misgivings. The dragon race''s inheritance was in the bloodline. Violating the ancestral teachings, this sort of thing, one might just suffer a bloodline backlash. Regardless of who it was, nobody was willing to go and do it either.


    ...


    Ye Yuan came to the dragon clan but was very leisurely and carefree.


    The dragon clan seemed to have forgotten about his existence and pushed him to one side the whole time.


    Ye Yuan did not idle away either and had a catch up about the old days with Ao Lin, but placed the majority of the time on cultivation.


    The matter of Ji Canglan honestly caught Ye Yuan by surprise.


    Facing the Ji Canglan who entered the realm of Void Mystic, Ye Yuan was currently too weak!


    Dealing with ordinary divine king powerhouses, Ye Yuan leaping realms to battle was like having a common meal. But against Void Mystic powerhouses, Ye Yuan''s strength was somewhat lacking.


    Void Mystic powerhouses, every last one''s comprehension towards concepts was extremely profound.


    With Ye Yuan''s current concepts comprehension, even if he was sent to Void Mystic Realm directly, it was also impossible for him to defeat Ji Canglan.


    Putting aside capturing the white tiger spirit, Ji Canglan''s strength was even that tiny hint stronger than Rong Xiao!


    One had to know that Rong Xiao was a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse, while Ji Canglan had at most just entered the realm of Void Mystic for 20 years.


    All along, concepts were Ye Yuan''s ace-in-the-hole to leap realms and battle. His concepts comprehension was more than just a tiny bit stronger than the average person.


    But the time he cultivated was too short when all was said and done. To an alchemist who had never cultivated concepts in his past life, to be able to cultivate to such a boundary in 20 years time, this was simply a peerless genius.


    But no matter how genius, he was also not Ji Canglan''s match!


    That battle that day, if not for Ye Yuan inflicting self-harm as the price and catching Ji Canglan off guard, he would have long become a deceased soul under Ji Canglan''s sword already!


    Prior to this, Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was that he was in the dark, and Ji Canglan was in the open.


    But now, his identity was already exposed. Ye Yuan no longer had anything to count on. God knows when the next time Ji Canglan make his move would be?


    Resigning himself to death was not Ye Yuan''s character.


    His greatest reliance right now was the Sacred Dragon Token. So no matter what, he would not give it to the dragon clan.


    And although the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, these two items, were formidable, he could not harness them at all currently.


    According to Long Teng''s version of things, only when he reached Dao Profound Realm, could he sense the Vast Heaven Stele''s truly formidable aspects.


    And Ye Yuan was already Ninth Level Phaseless currently. These few days, he had been consolidating his cultivation realm the entire time, planning on breaking through to Dao Profound in one stroke!


    The Dao Profound Realm was different from any cultivation realm previously.


    This was a mysterious and hard to fathom boundary!


    After breaking through to Dao Profound, the martial artist''s essence energy sea would produce a change once more. The originally ocean-like essence energy sea would form clouds of dense qi.


    The Dao Profound Realm''s might lied precisely here!


    The Dao Profound Realm also went by emperor realm. This was not randomly termed. The dense qi formed after breaking through to the Dao Profound Realm was called emperor qi!


    Once emperor qi was formed, the power of martial techniques would skyrocket. A martial artist''s grasp of essence energy would also reach an inconceivable level.


    The amount of emperor qi also represented the superiority or inferiority of emperor realm powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea already reached an unimaginable 100 million feet in circumference. It was a hundred times of the average Ninth Level Phaseless!


    Once he broke through to Dao Profound Realm, it would produce large quantities of emperor qi. His strength would also not be what the average First Level Dao Profound Realm would compare to.


    After resting and rehabilitating for the greater part of a month in the dragon clan, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm finally finished consolidating.


    He made use of another three day''s time to refine a kind of medicinal pill called Emperor Qi Pill.


    In his past life, he relied on precisely this Emperor Qi Pill before breaking through to Dao Profound Realm.


    In this life, Ye Yuan''s soul force already broke through to Alchemy Emperor Realm. Refining this mere Tier 8 Emperor Qi Pill was naturally no object.


    Without a doubt, transcendent-grade Emperor Qi Pill!


    All preparations in place, the dragon clan still did not seem to have the intention of finding him to negotiate. Ye Yuan just broke through in the dragon clan straightforwardly.


    At present, his fleshy body and divine soul both already stepped into emperor realm. It was only missing this essence energy cultivation realm alone.


    Rumble ��


    After Ye Yuan consumed the transcendent-grade Emperor Qi Pill, very soon, large quantities of emperor qi took shape inside his essence energy sea.


    Heavenly tribulation arrived once more right on schedule!

 1015 Variant Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation!

    "Who''s transcending tribulation in the clan? Seems like, it''s transcending Tier 9 heavenly tribulation. It''s just that this heavenly tribulation''s pressure �� is a bit too terrifying, right?"


    "Yeah. I feel that if I were to transcend the tribulation, I''d definitely be smitten to death! I''ve never seen a heavenly tribulation with this sort of power before! It''s too scary!"


    "Fool, what do you guys know? This is a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation. It was said that when Patriarch broke through to Tier 9 back then, he only transcended an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation too!"


    To be able to attract a 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation when breaking through to Dao Profound, those were all geniuses among geniuses.


    But the vast majority of martial artists were all just Minor 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation.


    Those able to bring down an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation were just an extremely, extremely small portion.


    A powerhouse like Ao Duo also merely attracted an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation. The rarity could be imagined.


    And attracting a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation was even rarer. In the entire Divine Realm, it was also extremely rare to hear of someone able to attract a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation!


    Under the tribulation clouds, inside the storm, Ye Yuan stood in the air, causing an uproar in the dragon clan.


    This time, the scope of the tribulations clouds were extremely vast, virtually covering the entire Azure Dragon Clan''s totem territory.


    In the sky, lightning danced like silver snakes. The accumulated pressure became more and more horrifying, but drew the bow without shooting, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.


    Ao Duo looked at that figure in the distance, his face revealing a look of shock as he said, "Ji Qingyun focused on alchemy and was uncommitted to martial arts. Didn''t think that in this life, he actually exhibited such terrifying martial Dao talent. This martial Dao talent compared to his alchemy Dao isn''t the least bit inferior either!"


    "This �� How is this possible? It''s only been a short 20 years time, I even thought that his cultivation realm was all stacked up with medicinal pills, didn''t think that ��"


    Long Zaitian looked at the Ye Yuan in the sky and was speechless for a long time.


    Crack! Crack!


    Amidst the dragon clan''s astonishment, the first bolt of heavenly tribulation tore through the air and arrived!


    That coarse lightning seemingly tore open a large hole in the sky. Just the power of the first bolt of heavenly tribulation made people feel terror.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest either. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s figure was suddenly smashed down several hundred feet. But he still forcefully stood his ground.


    This first bolt of heavenly tribulation was more terrifying compared to any of the heavenly tribulations he had transcended before in the past.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan was already Tier 9 fleshy body currently. Although this palm was not his all-out attack, the power was also very terrifying already.


    But facing the heavenly tribulation, he was actually a notch weaker!


    Seeing this scene, Ao Duo''s expression suddenly changed, and he instructed, "Immediately activate the clan protecting grand array!"


    Following Ao Duo''s roar, the dragon clan immediately bustled about. Very soon, an enormous light screen thoroughly covered the Azure Dragon''s totem territory inside.


    Ao Duo''s expression was ugly as he said, "A Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation indeed lives up to its reputation! This first bolt of heavenly tribulation was already so terrifying. If I wait until the final bolt of heavenly tribulation land, wouldn''t my dragon clan become a mess? This brat is definitely deliberately putting on a show of force to us!"


    Ao Duo really wronged Ye Yuan. He also did not expect that he actually attracted a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation.


    When transcending the fleshy body heavenly tribulation and soul tribulation on that day, they were both not so terrifying. He also could not figure out why the tribulation of essence energy would be so frightening.


    Furthermore, Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation, even Ye Yuan had only heard about it before too. As for how formidable the power was, he only experienced it personally with that blow just now.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Bolt after bolts of heavenly tribulation landed with loud bangs, different from that sort of exasperation in the past. This time, it was clearly very calm.


    The heavenly tribulation''s interval was very rhythmic. After each time it landed, it would even give Ye Yuan some time to catch his breath.


    Ye Yuan''s figure was struck down time and again, but he flew up stubbornly again.


    9-by-9 heavenly tribulation had a total of nine rounds. Each round had nine bolts of heavenly tribulation. After each round, the power of the next round would have a substantial increase.


    Although the power of the first round was fierce, it was clearly inadequate to deal with Ye Yuan.


    After nine bolts of heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan''s aura became somewhat chaotic but did not have too great of a change.


    During the second round, the power was clearly more than a level stronger compared to the first round!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to slight it and already brought out 80% of his strength!


    Very soon, the second round was withstood by Ye Yuan as well.


    The third round, Ye Yuan practically took out all of his strength. He even used the late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm too, before barely managing to pull through.


    When Ao Duo saw this scene, his expression was incomparably ugly.


    "Heard Jianbo say that Ji Qingyun''s dragon race martial techniques were all taught by a mysterious person. At most, it''s also just 20 years time. Could it be that he only used 20 years time to cultivate dragon wave to the late-stage spirit rank? This �� the Ji Qingyun after reviving is truly leaking out bizarreness all over!" Ao Duo said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    "Yeah! My dragon race martial techniques are all cultivated with centuries as units. This guy merely cultivated for 20 years and actually reached such a level already. Truly inconceivable!" Long Zaitian also said in astonishment.


    Although they were long aware that Ye Yuan comprehended late-stage spirit rank dragon wave, seeing him display it with their own eyes, they still felt unbelievably shocked.


    Suddenly, Ao Duo''s expression changed, and he stared at the tribulation clouds as he said, "The tribulation clouds seemed to have undergone a transformation. The Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation doesn''t seem like it would be like this, right? What on earth did this brat do? Even Heavenly Dao can''t tolerate him?"


    Only to see that in the sky, the tribulation clouds suddenly became strange.


    Inside the originally pitch-black color tribulation clouds, a faint-yellow color tribulation cloud faintly appeared.


    A terrifying fire-attribute energy transmitted out from within the tribulation clouds, making everyone''s expressions change.


    "This �� This is lightning-fire dual tribulation! The power of lightning-attribute heavenly tribulation is a level greater, and there''s even an additional fire-attribute heavenly tribulation! Would this sort of situation happen to a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation?" Ao Duo said in shock.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was also incredibly ugly. He seriously could not understand, just transcending a heavenly tribulation, was there a need to end up like this?


    But Ye Yuan faintly had some conjectures. The power of the heavenly tribulation was so great, it likely had something to do with the several terrifying treasures on him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    He had ten thousand profanities galloping through his head. The treasures on him, seemed like other than the Sacred Dragon Token, he could not harness the rest at all, alright?


    Ye Yuan had a flash of inspiration and suddenly called Fiery out.


    "Big Brother!"


    Through such a long time of cultivation, Fiery only just broke through to Tier 8. There was still a very long distance away from Tier 9.


    Ye Yuan''s current battles, he virtually could not help with anything much.


    It was exactly because of so that Fiery was very anxious too.


    Ye Yuan said, "This damn heavenly tribulation actually dropped down a lightning-fire dual tribulation! This tribulation fire is born from heaven and earth and contains a terrifying power of fire essence. It''s a great tonic item to you. In a while, you''ll transcend the tribulation together with me and absorb this tribulation fire with all your strength. It should be able to help you to break through to Tier 9 in one go!"


    The moment Fiery heard, he could not help being overjoyed and said, "Yes, Big Brother!"


    Right then, a yellow a white, two bolts of heavenly tribulation, intertwined and fell down, as if it was two enormous dragons that devoured heaven and earth, crushing down towards Ye Yuan.


    The fourth round of 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation descended with a loud crash!


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    It was just that the power of the lightning-fire dual tribulation was abnormally strong. His Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm only resisted for a split second before collapsing with a loud bang ��

 1016 Lightning, Fire, Ice

    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan was smashed fiercely onto the dragon clan''s grand array light barrier.


    Lightning and flames swathed on his body, akin of bone-infesting maggots; unable to dispel.


    "Fiery, quick!"


    Right then, Fiery appeared like a spirit. Kneading incantations, he absorbed the flames on Ye Yuan''s body greedily.


    This fire of heavenly tribulation was the most original source of energy in the world.


    After Fiery absorbed, his cultivation realm increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Taking advantage of this interval, Ye Yuan seemed completely fine and started to revolve his skill and regulate his breathing, to prepare to receive the next heavenly tribulation.


    "This bullshit Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation, just the fourth round and it''s so terrifying! If it were to reach the ninth round, what would it be like?!" Ye Yuan cursed.


    Not just Ye Yuan, each and every one of those dragon clan powerhouses were all dumbfounded from watching too.


    Such a dreadful heavenly tribulation, they had rarely seen it in all their lives too.


    "How monstrous to what degree is this Ji Qingyun to bring forth such a terrifying heavenly tribulation!"


    "This old man has cultivated for several thousand years and also never saw before such a terrifying Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation! The height of this child''s talent has probably met with heaven''s jealousy!"


    "You all look at that thing by his side, it should be a primordial spirit, right? My god, he''s actually absorbing tribulation fire! Could it be ��"


    "That''s right, it''s definitely the spirit of an essence fire! No wonder Ji Qingyun can provoke such a terrifying heavenly tribulation. His fortuitous encounters are also a bit too good! The spirit of an essence fire absorbing these tribulation flames, even breaking through to Tier 9 is nothing difficult too!"


    Fiery''s appearance made all the powerhouses incredibly envious.


    Reviving for these 20 years, Ye Yuan''s lucky chances were simply great until it drove people nuts.


    Sacred Dragon Token, bloodline power, spirit of essence fire, these things were all existences capable of driving Divine King powerhouses crazy. They were actually all acquired by Ye Yuan.


    It was also no wonder that Ye Yuan brought down such a terrifying heavenly tribulation.


    Just as everyone was in shock, the second bolt of lightning-fire dual tribulation came down furiously.


    This time, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless anymore.


    The feeling of directly being smashed onto the protective screen by heavenly tribulation was not that pleasant.


    Rumble!


    Another bolt of terrifying lightning-fire dual tribulation landed. Ye Yuan was immediately slammed until he flipped quite a few somersaults.


    Lightning-fire dual tribulations smashed down in clusters. That tremendous impact force was secondary. The most frightening thing was still the two different kinds of lightning and fire energy corroding endlessly.


    These two kinds of heavenly tribulation both possess exceptional offensiveness. Even if Ye Yuan''s fleshy body already broke through to Tier 9, under such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, he was already on the verge of not being able to stave it off.


    Fortunately, Fiery was absorbing the power of tribulation fire frenziedly while the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood within Ye Yuan''s body was also extracting the lightning tribulation frenziedly.


    Relying on these two protective talismans, Ye Yuan forcefully withstood three rounds of lightning-fire dual tribulation!


    After three rounds of lightning-fire dual tribulation, Fiery and the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s rank both reached peak Tier 8!


    Only missing a step and they could enter the rankings of Tier 9.


    "Not good! Big Brother, my heavenly tribulation is going to arrive right away as well!" Fiery suddenly said at that moment.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "You hurry up and leave the dragon clan. Find a place to transcend the tribulation. Over here at my side don''t need you to worry about."


    "Big Brother, you still have three rounds of heavenly tribulation at the back, the power is likely even greater than the lightning-fire dual tribulation! I ��" Fiery was worried about Ye Yuan and did not wish to leave.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "When soldiers come, use a general to hold them off. When the water rises, use dirt to keep it back. I don''t believe that a mere 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation can smite me, Ye Yuan, to death!"


    Fiery was helpless and could only leave the dragon clan and go transcend tribulation himself.


    Primordial spirits were products that seized the good fortune of heaven and earth. They would likewise suffer the punishment of heavenly tribulation. Furthermore, a primordial spirit''s heavenly tribulation''s power would be even more terrifying than the average martial artist''s heavenly tribulation.


    But Ye Yuan imparted Fiery many techniques. His combat strength could not compare to ordinary primordial spirits. Ye Yuan was not worried.


    What he was worried about right now was the seventh round of 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation that was slow in arriving!


    "Quickly look, there''s another additional tribulation cloud!" Right then, someone in the dragon clan cried out in surprise.


    Actually, no need for his exclamation, everybody saw it.


    Right beside those two tufts of tribulation clouds, there was actually an additional tuft of tribulation cloud!


    "N-No way, right? That seems like a water-attribute tribulation cloud! Could it be �� Could it be that his Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation is going to gather together all Five Element for visiting.


    Only to hear a rumble. A terrifying undulation rippled out in the sky. That tri-colored heavenly tribulation was forcefully blocked.


    But this undulation was too strong. Even if the dragon clan''s people hid inside the array formation, they were also shocked until they swayed around wildly.


    Today, they were also considered to have broadened their horizons, to have actually seen such a terrifying heavenly tribulation.


    But this was not over yet. Nine bolts of tri-heavenly tribulation landed one by one. Ye Yuan also could not care about wasting divine essence at this time anymore. He just deployed the Sacred Dragon Token fervently.


    It was just that he could sense that even if he deployed the Sacred Dragon Token, each bolt of this heavenly tribulation was also stronger than the last.


    The eighth round of heavenly tribulation had yet to begin. At this rate, the eighth round was still okay, but he was unable to withstand the ninth round no matter what.


    By relying on the Sacred Dragon Token, Ye Yuan finally pulled through the tri-heavenly tribulation.


    "This brat is already on the verge of giving out. Even if he relies on the Sacred Dragon Token to make it through the eighth round of heavenly tribulation, he absolutely can''t make it past the ninth round either!" Head Elder looked at Ye Yuan in the sky with a heated gaze as he said,


    Ao Duo shot him a glance and immediately understood his meaning, but let out a sigh and said, "Using such a method to take back the Sacred Dragon Token is really what I didn''t expect."


    "Heh heh, who can be blamed for him seeking death himself? It''s hard to defy heaven''s will! Looks like the Dragon Ancestor''s spirit is there in the unseen world. He''s just borrowing Ji Qingyun''s hands to deliver the Sacred Dragon Token back to the dragon clan!" Long Zaitian said rather gleefully.


    Ao Duo also nodded his head and said, "Looks like there''s only such an explanation. The Sacred Dragon Token is spiritual, but used this sort of theatric-way to return to the clan."


    The way the two of them saw it, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to transcend this variant Major 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation already.


    There was the Dragon Ancestor guiding in the unseen world to deliver the Sacred Dragon Token back to the dragon clan.


    Right at this time, the eighth round of heavenly tribulation initiated once more.


    This time �� a fourth tribulation cloud actually appeared again!FYI, lightning isn''t part of the Five Elements.

 1017 Five Elements Gathered!

    Seeing those rolling four tribulation clouds, Ye Yuan''s complexion was green.


    "Villainous old heaven, you''re f*cking messing with me!"


    This was clearly bullying people. Tri-heavenly tribulation was already incomparably terrifying. Now, a fourth tribulation cloud actually came as well.


    According to this situation, the last round would definitely be the Five Element Heavenly Tribulation all arriving!


    Such a heavenly tribulation, even if a Divine King powerhouse was here, it would likely be hard to transcend too, right?


    While he, Ye Yuan, was only just breaking through to Dao Profound Realm!


    When those dragon clan martial artists saw this scene, each and every one of their scalps tingled.


    The moment the fourth tribulation cloud appeared, that terrifying energy undulation made their hearts palpitate unceasingly.


    This was the genuine might of heaven and earth. It was a power that virtually could not be resisted with a human''s strength.


    In the dragon clan, there were quite a few people who did not have a favorable impression towards Ye Yuan because of the Sacred Dragon Token''s matter. Seeing Ye Yuan encounter such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, there was even some gloating over his misfortune.


    But each and every one of them could not cheer up currently.


    Ye Yuan was transcending tribulation right above their heads!


    Rumble!


    Four bolts of heavenly tribulation rumbled down, wrapped in the power of heaven and earth.


    That one additional heavenly tribulation this time was wind tribulation!


    Gusts of strong wind were shaped like they were materialized, intertwining together with the ice, fire, and lightning, increasing the power of the other three heavenly tribulations even more.


    This degree of strong wind was not the Fierce Gale World''s level of strong wind anymore. Even the Fierce Gale World''s ninth level region paled in comparison to this storm too.


    Disregarding the wind tribulation, the power of the other three heavenly tribulations were already not what the seventh round could compare to either.


    Such a heavenly tribulation, just thinking about it made people despair.


    Ye Yuan cursed countless times over in his heart. But this heavenly tribulation, he had nowhere to hide.


    Gritting his teeth, Ye Yuan directly poured in ten times the divine essence from before. The Sacred Dragon Token immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light!


    The last time, in order to deal with the Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask, Ye Yuan expended a large quantity of divine essence in one go. Currently, the divine essence within his body had already shrunk greatly.


    No matter how many the divine essence, it was also just a consumable. It was very hard to replenish.


    He did not think that transcending tribulation this time actually had to utilize so much divine essence.


    At this rate, the divine essence in Ye Yuan''s body was already unable to support more than a few times of his consumption.


    It was just that this current sort of situation, Ye Yuan had no other alternatives too. No matter how precious divine essence was, it was also not as precious as his life.


    Rumble ��


    The quadruple-heavenly tribulation landed in succession. Even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token in his possession, Ye Yuan was also slammed by the massive energy undulation until he tumbled around everywhere.


    When the dragon clan''s members saw the situation, all of their expressions changed drastically.


    It changed not because Ye Yuan was sent flying, but because the clan protecting grand array''s tremors were already becoming more and more intense under this kind of terrifying impact.


    Under the four heavenly tribulations, the entire Azure Dragon Clan felt the earth quakes and mountains sway. This sort of feeling was distinctly more much intense compared to before.


    Ao Duo''s expression also changed, and he said to Long Zaitian, "Prepare to activate the Seven Constellation Grand Array! The clan protecting grand array probably can''t last until Ye Yuan finishes transcending the tribulation!"


    Long Zaitian''s expression changed, and he said, "This �� This isn''t possible, right? Making the experts in the clan maintain the array formation, it shouldn''t be possible to breach it, right?"


    Ao Duo shook his head and said, "This boy must have done something that violated Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, it''s definitely impossible for Dao Profound heavenly tribulation to be so terrifying! Carry on developing like this, the power of the ninth wave will definitely be unimaginable. Even you and I might not be able to survive inside it too."


    Long Zaitian opened his eyes wide but was still somewhat half-dubious towards Ao Duo''s words.


    But the meaning in Ao Duo''s words was that this Ji Qingyun was dead for sure.


    At least, the Sacred Dragon Token was going to return to the dragon clan.


    Bolt after bolt of quadruple-heavenly tribulations landed, each more powerful than the last. Ye Yuan''s divine essence poured into the Sacred Dragon Token like it was free. But even so, after nine bolts of quadruple-heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan''s injuries were already very frightening.


    If not for Ye Yuan being powerful, just the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation were sufficient to smite him to death.


    Ye Yuan had just recovered for not long, and he was covered in blood all over again, becoming a spent force.


    Except, the heavenly tribulation did not have the slightest intention of pitying him. After the eighth round''s nine bolts of heavenly tribulation, the fifth tuft of tribulation cloud started slowly forming in the sky.


    At this moment, even heaven and earth changed color!


    Sensing that terrifying pressure, Long Zaitian''s expression became incomparably ugly. Only now did he know that Patriarch''s words were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm!


    Even though this quintuple-heavenly tribulation was not coming for him, he actually had an impulse to turn around and run. Then the pressure of Ye Yuan situated in the center of the storm could be imagined!


    Ao Duo''s expression could not help changing greatly when he saw the situation and shouted sternly, "Quick! Activate the Seven Constellation Defending Grand Array!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    In the wake of Ao Duo''s order, several rays of light beams rose from the ground up in the totem territory, exactly identical with the White Tiger Clan.


    Seven light beams directly condensed and formed a grand array, but did not summon out the spirit of the azure dragon.


    After this Seven Constellation Grand Array condensed and formed, the originally faltering dragon clan territory also stabilized itself.


    "Huuuu ��"


    With the fifth tribulation cloud as the center, a fierce wind suddenly howled. Countless flying sand and stone closed in.


    Gradually, those scattered sand and rocks all condensed together, becoming larger and larger!


    At first, it was a small hill.


    Later on, this small hill became bigger and bigger!


    Ye Yuan dragged his exhausted body, his entire scalp tingling as he said with a bitter smile, "Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation! Truly thinking too highly of me, Ye Yuan! This kind of heavenly tribulation, how can a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse possibly transcend it?"


    It was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would have long been blasted into residue by the heavenly tribulation at this time already.


    But facing this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Yuan also somewhat broke down.


    Even if he had the Sacred Dragon Token in possession, facing this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, a feeling of powerlessness also welled up in his heart.


    This battle with the heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying than when he faced Ji Canglan.


    This power of heaven and earth was not what a human''s strength could resist at all!


    Lightning belonged to metal. It was a metal-attribute heavenly tribulation.


    Tribulation fire was fire-attribute heavenly tribulation.


    Ice belonged to water, it was a water-attribute heavenly tribulation.


    Wind belonged to wood, a wood-attribute heavenly tribulation.


    This fifth heavenly tribulation was naturally an earth-attribute heavenly tribulation.


    That towering high mountain already gradually formed, giving people a pressure of Mount Tai crashing down.


    Five elements gathering, this power was already completely not what individual attributes could compare to.


    Five elements gave birth to each other. This Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation gathering together, the power was not as simple as one plus one.


    "Patriarch, is �� is this really heavenly tribulation? Why do I feel like the entire world is going to be destroyed?"


    Only at this time, did Long Zaitian know that Ao Duo''s prediction was not over-the-top, but too light.


    This level of heavenly tribulation, with his current strength, going up was also certain death!


    Ye Yuan had only just stepped into Dao Profound, and he had to face such a catastrophic heavenly tribulation. How was there still any chances of survival?


    Even though Ao Duo had long expected it, seeing that kind of heavenly tribulation in the sky, he was deeply astonished too.


    "For 100 thousand years, I''ve never heard before of anyone who could encounter this level of heavenly tribulation! What in the world did Ji Qingyun do to attract such a heavenly tribulation?" Ao Duo muttered to himself.


    Long Zaitian sucked in a deep breath and said, "Patriarch, if nine bolts come from such a heavenly tribulation, can the Seven Constellation Grand Array withstand it?"


    Ao Duo shook his head and said, "If my conjectures are right, this ninth round of heavenly tribulation should just be this one bolt!"

 1018 Vast Heaven Stele, Open!

    Five elements gathering, this was the process of quantitative change to qualitative change. It was already entirely different from the heavenly tribulations before.


    Five elements reinforced and counteracted each other. But under the heavenly tribulation, the counteraction of the five elements was weakened to the lowest, while the reinforcement was augmented to the greatest!


    This was also the reason why after the last tuft of tribulation cloud appeared, it gave people a feeling of decimating the heavens and destroying the earth.


    The eight rounds of heavenly tribulation at the front were all for the sake of brewing this ninth round!


    Hence, Ao Duo judged that this ninth round of heavenly tribulation was only one bolt.


    This Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation completely could not be judged with common sense already.


    Its terror was already totally not what a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation could compare to.


    Ye Yuan''s scalp tingled. The power of this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation was seriously too terrifying. If he currently had Divine King Realm strength, maybe he could attempt to resist it a little.


    But the present him could not oppose it at all.


    Even if he had a divine artifact, it would not do either!


    Just as Ye Yuan lost all hope, Long Teng''s voice suddenly transmitted into his head.


    "Ye Yuan, quickly inject emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele!"


    Ye Yuan was startled, but there was already no time to think at the moment. His mind stirred, and he escaped into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    But this scene aroused the dragon clan''s attention.


    "Eh, where did Ji Qingyun go to? Why is he gone?"


    "Heard that he has a spatial quasi-divine artifact. He should have hidden inside, right? It''s just that �� is this useful?"


    "Heavenly tribulation points directly at the martial artist themselves. Even if he has a spatial divine artifact, it''s also not possible to avoid the heavenly tribulation! Furthermore, such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, even a quasi-divine artifact probably has to receive damage as well, right?"


    The matter of Ye Yuan possessing the Vast Heaven Pagoda was already not some secret. Therefore, the dragon clan''s members all guessed where Ye Yuan went very quickly.


    It was just that they thought that Ye Yuan was afraid of the heavenly tribulation and went to hide.


    In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared before the Vast Heaven Stele.


    Long Teng''s figure also appeared at his side and said, "Fang Tian''s heavenly tribulation back then was also very terrifying. But his Dao Profound heavenly tribulation only called down a tri-heavenly tribulation, while you actually summoned the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation in full!"


    Clearly, Long Teng was speechless too.


    When he saw the seventh round of heavenly tribulation, he knew that things were not good.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, since you knew long ago, you should have warned me beforehand! I''ll die like this!"


    Long Teng said, "You have the Sacred Dragon Token, transcending past tri-heavenly tribulation shouldn''t be a problem. Who knew that �� you actually called down the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation at one go?"


    Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "Looks like it should be because of the Soul Suppressing Pearl! No time to talk nonsense anymore, what should I do?"


    "Your emperor qi already went through the baptism of a quadruple-heavenly tribulation. It should be rather condensed and sufficient to activate the Vast Heaven Stele! Fire your emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele and produce a resonance with your bloodline, and you''ll be able to officially activate the Vast Heaven Stele!" Long Teng said.


    Ye Yuan was unbelievably amazed. He thought that he could already control the Vast Heaven Stele all along. Did not think that he had not even accomplished activating it until now.


    Honestly speaking, obtaining the Vast Heaven Pagoda for so long, the Vast Heaven Stele really did not help him too much.


    No wonder even Fiendgod Jia Lan was incredibly apprehensive of the Vast Heaven Stele. Turns out that this Vast Heaven Stele''s basic condition for activating was stepping into Dao Profound Realm!


    Without emperor qi �� one could not open up the Vast Heaven Stele at all!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to hesitate, injecting the emperor qi that had just formed above the essence energy sea into the Vast Heaven Stele all together.


    Rumble!


    The Vast Heaven Stele suddenly erupted with a blinding light. The entire Vast Heaven Pagoda shook unceasingly.


    In an instant, light illuminated the entire Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    At this moment, the Vast Heaven Pagoda seemed to have been activated, its size suddenly growing rapidly.


    The dragon clan members were endlessly shocked by this unforeseen event that came suddenly. Only at this moment, did they see the true features of that quasi-divine artifact!


    Rumble!


    An enormous pagoda directly stomped on top of the Seven Constellation Grand Array. That vast, imposing momentum actually faced the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation above the firmament from far away.


    Right at this time, the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation descended with a loud crash!


    That terrifying power seemingly pressed the entire blue sky down!


    "Is this Ji Qingyun''s final trick? Even the Sacred Dragon Token can''t block it, what use is a quasi-divine artifact?"


    Even though the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s appearance was very astonishing, Long Zaitian was still very disdainful.


    No reason other than that the Sacred Dragon Token was a heavenly divine artifact. It was even more terrifying than ordinary divine artifacts.


    A mere quasi-divine artifact was not even fit to carry shoes for the Sacred Dragon Token. How could it possibly withstand such a terrifying heaven and earth major calamity?


    But Ao Duo''s expression sunk slightly and said, "I keep having a feeling that this quasi-divine artifact is somewhat unusual!"


    "Although the power is decent, it''s still too far away compared to the Sacred Dragon Token. It''s also useless no matter how unusual, right?" Long Zaitian said scornfully.


    Ao Duo did not refute. Even though he also felt that it was not too likely to block the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, he still felt that something was not quite right.


    Right at this time, the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s entire pagoda body gave off a dazzling golden light, shining until everyone could not open their eyes.


    Following that, an enormous bang came from the skies.


    Ao Duo''s expression changed, and he said, "Not good!"


    His figure suddenly vanished from where he originally stood. In the next instant, the Seven Constellation Grand Array suddenly radiated with a brilliant light, wanting to stop this massive aftershock.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Even though Ao Duo increased the Seven Constellation Grand Array''s power, the slightly weaker martial artists of the dragon clan were still struck by this terrifying aftershock until they vomited fresh blood wildly.


    Ao Duo''s figure appeared beside Long Zaitian once more and immediately spewed a mouthful of blood out. Long Zaitian''s expression changed, and he supported Ao Duo as he said, "Patriarch! You �� You''re injured?"


    Ao Duo waved his hand and said, "No worries, just a bit of minor injury. The power of this Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation is too terrifying! If I don''t strengthen the grand array''s power, there might be quite a few clansmen who''re going to die under this aftershock!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Long Zaitian''s expression was incomparably ugly and already cursed Ye Yuan countless over in his heart.


    This fellow actually transcended tribulation in the dragon clan, wasn''t this intentionally cheating people?


    "Ji Qingyun that punk should have already thoroughly died, right? If he doesn''t die, I''d really wish to supplement two tight slaps!" Long Zaitian said hatefully.


    Ao Duo said, "A heavenly tribulation of such power, how could he possibly survive? The aftershock is going to dissipate at once. Hurry up and order people to go search for the Sacred Dragon Token!"


    "Yes, Patriarch!" Long Zaitian voiced his assent.


    Currently, the light in the sky had not dissipated yet. The people did not know what was happening in the sky at all.


    But there was one thing, under such a terrifying heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan was definitely a dead duck already.


    And those five tufts of terrifying tribulation clouds were currently in the midst of slowly dissipating.


    The pressure became lighter and lighter. Only then did the members of the dragon clan let out a long sigh in relief.


    Experiencing the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation at such a close-range, they had really had enough of it.


    This sort of thing, it was fine to take a look. Being affected by heavenly tribulation, this sort of thing, was seriously too terrifying.


    If not for Patriarch, who knew how many people were going to die in the dragon clan today.


    Very soon, the tribulation clouds scattered and disappeared, while the golden light that the Vast Heaven Pagoda released also gradually disappeared and faded away.


    That instant when the light was completely gone, all of the dragon clan''s members cast their glances towards the sky curiously.


    Then �� their eyes became wide-saucers!

 1019 Dragon Clans Two Great Flourishing Ages!

    "This �� This is not real, right? We activated the Seven Constellation Grand Array, and there were still so many people hurt. He �� He''s actually fine!"


    After the shock, the dragon clan''s experts all let out marveling sighs.


    When everything dissipated, a tall and straight silhouette stood in the air. Although his entire body was covered with wounds, his imposing momentum was still shocking.


    Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation was actually cleared by Ye Yuan?


    This �� How was this possible?


    "Patriarch, this �� this �� I wouldn''t have seen wrongly, right?" Long Zaitian stammered for a long time before sorting his words out.


    Ao Duo also had a look of astonishment and said solemnly, "You didn''t see wrongly, he really pulled through! Looks like that quasi-divine artifact really has strange aspects!"


    Long Zaitian said in shock, "The Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation that even the Sacred Dragon Token couldn''t block, what right does that quasi-divine artifact have to withstand it?"


    Ao Duo did not reply Long Zaitian, because he did not know either.


    But he could confirm that after that boundless light, something unusual definitely happened.


    At this moment, the emperor qi in Ye Yuan''s body surged. Going through the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation''s tempering, his emperor qi was way more powerful compared to ordinary martial artists.


    Just earlier, he poured emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele. The Vast Heaven Stele actually directly flew away from the Vast Heaven Pagoda and collided together with the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation.


    But all of this was concealed by the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s light.


    This attack, the Vast Heaven Stele had a flawless victory!


    Acquiring the Vast Heaven Stele for so long, Ye Yuan truly felt that Vast Heaven Stele''s might for the first time!


    And currently, between Ye Yuan and the Vast Heaven Stele, a trace of faintly discernible connection was also established.


    It was just that there were countless people staring at Ye Yuan at the moment, he could not probe into it in-depth either.


    "Ji Qingyun, you actually dare to transcend such a great tribulation in my dragon clan''s totem territory! How do you plead?!" Ao Duo''s voice was like a great bell, directly spreading out.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he was just about to speak when Long Teng''s figure suddenly appeared and beat him to it: "Ill-mannered little thing, what are you shouting and wrangling for?"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was thrilled.


    Long Teng remained dormant all along after returning to the clan. Currently, it seemed like he was finally going to activate posturing-mode.


    In other places, an artifact spirit like Long Teng really did not have much capital to be arrogant. But in the dragon clan, Long Teng was practically an undefeatable existence.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Drifting for as long as 50 thousand years, Long Teng''s research into the dragon race''s cultivation methods and martial techniques had virtually reached the acme of perfection.


    No matter how powerful the dragon race martial artist, the strength that they could unleash in front of him was also less than 10%.


    But the moment Long Teng''s words were uttered, the entire dragon clan was thrown into an uproar.


    "Where did this fellow appear from? To actually dare call Patriarch little thing �� Is this throwing away his life?"


    "This guy is looking down on my Azure Dragon Patriarch, his crime deserves ten thousand deaths!"


    "That Ji Qingyun nearly brought a catastrophic calamity to my clan. Now, he let some baffling person out to insult the patriarch, truly tired of living!"


    Ao Duo''s expression was also black as the bottom of a pot. He had taken charge of the dragon clan for several thousand years, when had he been looked down upon like this and scolded by people before?"


    Little thing?


    There was actually still someone who dared to call him that in this world!


    Originally, Ye Yuan almost bringing a catastrophic calamity to the dragon clan, Ao Duo was already incomparably frustrated. At this time, some guy pretending to be mysterious suddenly appeared. How could he still endure it?


    "Acting recklessly and blindly!" Ao Duo''s expression turned cold, and an incomparably powerful dragon race martial technique was fired towards Long Teng.


    This move could not be said to not be strong.


    The attack of a Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, no matter how casual, was also not what the average person could resist.


    However, Long Teng imitated exactly and struck back just like that with the exact same move.


    No earth-shaking collision sound occurred either. Ao Duo''s attack was extinguished like that.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Ao Duo was obviously not some invincible existence. But in the entire Divine Realm, a person able to eradicate an attack of his so casually had yet to appear!


    Even the Ten Great Divine Kings could not accomplish this either!


    The dragon clan''s clan members all looked at that black silhouette in the sky with incredible shock.


    "Patriarch! This person �� is that mysterious expert that I mentioned to you before! Didn''t think that �� didn''t think that even Patriarch is unable to beat him!"


    At this moment, Ao Jianbo ran out from no idea where.


    Hearing these words, Ao Duo was also endlessly shocked.


    Linking it to the words Long Teng said previously, could this person be a senior of the dragon clan?


    But he could not think of which dragon clan senior''s strength was so powerful!


    "This Divine Sovereign Dragon Fist is still not bad; much stronger than that brat beside you. It''s just that �� it''s still not perfect yet!" Long Teng''s voice sounded out once more arrogantly, attracting a wave of sidelong glances.


    This guy was so arrogant, to actually start lecturing the patriarch of the Azure Dragon clan!


    However, he seemed to really have the capital to be arrogant!


    "Just which of my dragon clan''s senior is �� Your Excellency? Since you returned to the clan, why not show people your true face?"


    With this, Ao Duo also calmed down and knew that he was somewhat rash. Hence, his tone when talking also became slightly more amiable.


    Long Teng said calmly, "I''m just not telling you! Better let your family''s own senior talk with you! You all who are surnamed Ao, none of you are good!"


    Ao Duo''s old face that had just eased up immediately sunk again.


    But right then, another figure appeared in front of everyone.


    "Elder Teng, your words are also a bit too hurtful, right? At least I, Ao Qian, have always stood on your side!" Ao Qian said with a bitter face.


    "Humph! The incident that happened in the clan back then, you all, those little punks, were all still unaccomplished. Otherwise, whose side you stand on is still hard to say!" Long Teng said with a cold snort.


    Ao Qian was defeated and said helplessly, "Elder Teng, the matter has passed for so many years, could it be that your elderly self still not able to let it slide?"


    "Heh heh, let it slide?" Long Teng laughed coldly, but zipped his mouth and did not speak.


    While at this time, Ao Duo''s expression became ugly, his mouth continuously mumbling, "Ao Qian, Ao Qian, this name is so familiar!"


    All of a sudden, he lifted his head and looked at Ao Qian''s figure in disbelief as he said in astonishment, "You �� Are you the one known as the dragon clan''s strongest head elder 40 thousand years ago �� Ao Qian?"


    Ao Qian was rather surprised and said, "Heh heh, didn''t think that so many years have passed, there are actually still people who remember me, this old fellow! You''re surnamed Ao too, looks like in terms of seniority, you got to call me your geat grandfather!"


    Hearing Ao Qian admitted it personally, Ao Duo''s shock could not be any greater!


    Ao Qian was a legendary figure from 40 thousand years ago! How could he suddenly show up in the clan?


    "Patriarch, this person is?" Seeing Ao Duo''s expression, Long Zaitian could not resist asking.


    Ao Duo sucked in a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart before saying slowly, "In these 100 thousand years, my dragon clan had two great flourishing ages! The first flourishing age was 50 thousand years ago. In that era, seven Void Mystic powerhouses appeared at the same time! The second flourishing age was 40 thousand years ago. Five Void Mystic powerhouses appeared in that era at the same time! And Ao Qian is �� the strongest one during that era 40 thousand years ago! And also that generation''s head elder!"

 1020 Using Seniority to Crush You to Death

    The moment Ao Duo''s words came out, Ao Jianbo and Long Zaitian''s faces both changed.


    They were seriously unable to imagine how a figure from 40 thousand years ago would possibly appear before their eyes.


    Although the dragon race''s life-span was much longer compared to the human race, it was at the very most also just around 20 thousand years. Then what was going on what this legendary head elder before their eyes?


    "Doesn''t that mean that �� compared to the patriarch back then, he''s even more ��" Long Zaitian said in amazement.


    Ao Duo nodded and said, "If he is really Old Ancestor Ao Qian! Except, Old Ancestor Ao Qian is a figure from 40 thousand years ago, how can he possibly live until now?"


    Ao Qian was not angered and said with a faint smile, "Looks like this old man still has some prestige. It''s just that, so what if 40 thousand years? You all know that the strongest person 40 thousand years ago was this old man, then do you guys know who the strongest person in that era 50 thousand years ago was?"


    Ao Duo was not an idiot. He virtually reacted right away to who that person Ao Qian was talking about, and could not help revealing a look of shock.


    "You''re saying, he �� he is �� Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ao Duo''s expression changed greatly. The demeanor of a patriarch was all gone at this moment.


    These two people were both figures who were long already submerged in the annals of time. But now, they appeared in front of him alive. How could this not shock him?


    Although he was unwilling to believe it from the bottom of his heart, apart of that person, who else could evolve the dragon race''s martial techniques to such perfection?


    Just that move the black-robed person exhibited earlier, it did not just require unparalleled talent, it even needed the accumulation of time!


    With this, that black-robed person was really extremely likely to be the strongest person 50 thousand years ago ��- Long Teng!


    "Patriarch, who on earth is that black-robed person? Is he really so formidable?" Ao Jianbo could not refrain from asking.


    This sort of secret, only Ao Duo, this patriarch, know. They all, these people, even Head Elder Long Zaitian, was also unaware.


    Seeing Ao Duo''s expression, Ao Qian said with a faint smile, "Actually, you already believe it in your heart, right? In these 50 thousand years, to be able to cultivate all of the dragon race''s martial techniques to the limits, apart from Lord Long Teng, who else can there be?"


    "Long Teng? Long Teng! The Old Ancestor Long Teng, known as the dragon clan''s number genius in these 100 thousand years? He �� Isn''t he the dragon clan''s traitor?"


    Long Zaitian felt that this name was very familiar first, but suddenly came to a realization and thought of Long Teng''s name.


    "Heh, traitor? Ao Xinghan that damn thing is really shameless enough! Forget it, you just take this old man to be a traitor then. But the title of number one genius in these 100 thousand years, this old man doesn''t deserve it." Long Teng said coolly.


    After so many years, Long Teng had long gotten over it already.


    Ao Xinghang already died for who knows how many years. The dragon clan''s patriarch had also changed quite a few batches already. He could not raise his spirits to haggle over it with these juniors.


    "Elder Teng, apart from you, who else is worthy of this title?" Ao Qian even thought that Long Teng was being modest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    But Long Teng said smilingly, "Before meeting Ye Yuan, this old man was really worthy of this title. But now, this title naturally has to return back to your master."


    Long Teng''s words startled everybody.


    Including Ao Qian, everyone''s gazes all turned towards Ye Yuan in wonder.


    Long Teng''s title of number one genius in 100 thousand years being able to circulate until today, it was sufficient to indicate how great his talent was.


    But he actually yielded this title to Ye Yuan totally willingly!


    But, Ye Yuan was just a human!


    "L-Lord Long Teng, Ye Yuan he is just a human," Ao Jianbo said.


    Long Teng said disdainfully, "So what if he is a human? Ye Yuan isn''t just the number one genius in 100 thousand years, saying that he''s the dragon clan''s number genius in a million years isn''t overboard at all!"


    Everyone was confused and suddenly felt that Long Teng was a complete lunatic; simply impervious to reason.


    "Elder Teng, isn''t it a little too much? Although Ye Yuan is my master, to say that he''s the dragon clan''s number genius in a million years, it''s too exaggerated, right?" Ao Qian could not carry on listening anymore as well.


    Although Ao Qian and Long Zaitian and the rest did not refute owing to Long Teng''s prestige, disbelief was written all over their faces.


    Even though Ao Qian served Ye Yuan as master, he did not eradicate his own thoughts. He admitted that Ye Yuan was formidable. But to say that he was the dragon clan''s number one genius in a million years, this was too ridiculous.


    Such a title was not what anybody could bear.


    "Heh, this old man was somebody who should have died long ago. Why would I shoot my mouth off in front of you all, these juniors? Do you all think that the Sacred Dragon Token will anyhow acknowledge a master like you fools? Do you all think that a problem really occurred with the White Tiger Clan''s Bloodsoul Stone?" Long Teng''s words did not spare others'' feelings in the slightest and were full of ridicule.


    How could these guys not perceive Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness? It was just that they were unwilling to admit it from the bottom of their hearts!


    "But �� But Ji Qingyun he is a human after all. What connections does he have with my Azure Dragon Clan?" Ao Duo finally could not resist refuting.


    He perceived that Long Teng was rectifying Ji Qingyun''s name.


    Long Teng was driven out of the dragon clan back then with the reputation of a traitor. 50 thousand years had passed, he brought Ji Qingyun to stage a comeback. His goal was already self-evident!


    What was damnable was that Ji Qingyun actually had the Sacred Dragon Token in his possession!


    According to the ancestral teachings, the owner of the Sacred Dragon Token was the lord of the dragon clan! Then he, this patriarch, was awkward!


    Ye Yuan grasped the Sacred Dragon Token and brought Long Teng and Ao Qian, these two seniors with seniority that frightened people to death, back to the clan. This was simply dreadful.


    His only excuse now was that Ji Qingyun was a human. How could a human possibly become the dragon clan''s patriarch?


    Long Teng said smilingly, "Actually, when the Sacred Dragon Token acknowledged Ye Yuan as master, I was as surprised as you are. All the way until he entered the White Tiger Clan''s land of ancestral spirits and saw the White Tiger Sacred Ancestor''s spirit, did this old man know �� why the Sacred Dragon Token would choose him! Because he is of the �� Atavism Dragon Soul!"


    "A-Atavism Dragon Soul?"


    The moment these three words came out, the other few people''s heads all rumbled, virtually going to explode.


    Atavism Dragon Soul, that was a legendary existence capable of reaching the Ancestral Dragon''s height! How could a human possibly possess an Atavism Dragon Soul?


    "Elder Teng, this �� this mustn''t be joked about!" Ao Qian opened his eyes wide and said in incredulity.


    Long Teng said coolly, "Joked about? I only met Ye Yuan for a dozen over years. If not for the Atavism Dragon Soul, how can his dragon wave possibly train to late-stage spirit rank? If he''s not of the Atavism Dragon Soul, on what basis would the Sacred Dragon Token acknowledges him as its master?"


    The four people''s minds fell into a sluggish state and did not come back to their senses for a long time.


    The news that Long Teng brought gave them immense psychological impact.


    Atavism Dragon Soul was an existence even more terrifying than the Perfect White Tiger Physique. It only existed in the legends.


    For a million years, it had never been heard of that anyone in the dragon clan possessed an Atavism Dragon Soul. Therefore, there was completely no way of identifying it too.


    But hearing Long Teng say so, it seemed like apart from the Atavism Dragon Soul, there was no other explanation at all.


    "If you don''t believe, it''s also very simple to verify my words. As long as you let Ye Yuan enter the dragon clan''s land of ancestral spirits, the outcome will be clear," Long Teng said coolly.

 1021 Ao Yong

    Seeing Long Teng so certain, Ao Duo''s expression became incomparably ugly.


    Entering the land of ancestral spirits, one would have to face the tomb guardian''s authentication. If there wasn''t absolute confidence, it was equivalent to going in and seek death.


    Long Teng daring to say so, he was naturally fully confident in Ye Yuan.


    In that case, Ao Duo became hesitant.


    Once Ye Yuan obtained the tomb guardian''s recognition, it would be equivalent to confirming his identity as the lord of the dragon clan. At that point, there would not be leeway to turn things around.


    Ye Yuan had been silently standing by the side all along and did not make a sound. Long Teng wanted to borrow his momentum to give vent to resentment, he naturally would not go and dampen his spirits.


    But he also perceived that Long Teng really had the intention of letting him enter the dragon clan and replace Ao Duo.


    As for the reason, Ye Yuan more or less could also guess some of it.


    Venting grievances was just one aspect. It could even be said to just be done conveniently. Long Teng''s true intention was that he wanted him to borrow the dragon clan''s power to take revenge.


    The battle of the white tiger, Long Teng had clearly also sensed Ji Canglan and the present Medicine King Hall''s might. He felt that it was difficult for Ye Yuan to prop up a tottering building alone. That was why he would think of using such a method to help Ye Yuan.


    "Humph! So what even if Ye Yuan has the Sacred Dragon Token? So what if Atavism Dragon Soul? In the end, he''s just a human! Long Teng, you''re merely a dragon race traitor. Now, you brought a human to the dragon clan to force an abdication. Don''t you find it laughable?"


    Just as Ao Duo was between a rock and a hard place, Ao Jianbo came forward.


    He stuck firmly to Ye Yuan''s human identity and also spoke sarcastically of Long Teng''s traitor''s identity. One had to admit that it was an incisive counterattack.


    It was just that the moment those words came out, the atmosphere became somewhat strange.


    Ye Yuan''s face also fell slightly, and he said coldly, "Is that so? Originally, this Ye really wasn''t interested in this lord of the dragon clan. But just based on this sentence of yours, I got to charge into this land of ancestral spirits! Whether this Ye has the qualifications to be this dragon clan''s lord, it doesn''t count if you say it, it also doesn''t count if I say it, if the tomb guardian says it �� it should count, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Ao Jianbo trio''s expressions become even uglier.


    Ye Yuan was really not interested in being the lord of the dragon clan. But he absolutely did not allow for anyone to vilify Long Teng.


    Just based on Ye Yuan''s understanding of Long Teng, there was no way he was the dragon clan''s traitor.


    Furthermore, after such a long time, Ye Yuan more or less also perceived a little something. The matters back then, Long Teng was likely schemed against by someone. Hence, that was why he had always taken it to heart.


    Now, Ao Jianbo using this to attack Long Teng, Ye Yuan got to have a spine.


    Although he did not know why, Ye Yuan could confirm that there should exist some sort of relationship between him and the dragon clan.


    White Light''s Perfect White Tiger Physique was able to be regarded so highly by the tomb guardian, his Atavism Dragon Soul was even more superior to his. Ye Yuan did not believe that the tomb guardian would turn his nose up at him.


    "Ji Qingyun, don''t go too far in bullying others!" Ao Jianbo said threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "What a joke! You guys don''t even want your ancestor anymore and still say that I''m bullying too much? If you all don''t believe that this Ye can obtain the tomb guardian''s recognition, you probably wouldn''t be so nervous either. Since you''re nervous, presumably, you already believe 80% if your hearts, right?"


    Ao Jianbo could not get angry anymore. He could only snort coldly and not dare to retort.


    The evidence was certain, it was not up to them to not believe!


    The various strange things that happened to Ye Yuan, it was also only the Atavism Dragon Soul that could explain them.


    Furthermore, with the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands, Ao Duo completely could not find reasons to refute.


    Being from the human race, this reason was already unable to stop the footsteps of Ye Yuan becoming the lord of the dragon clan.


    Long Teng was felt incomparably liberated in his heart when he saw that Ao Duo trio all saying nothing.


    "Heh, back then, if not for this old man, where would there be your several tens of thousands of years of glory? Traitor? Ao Xinghan is really shameless enough!" Long Teng said with a cold smile.


    Ao Qian''s expression changed, and he said, "Elder Teng, just what in the world �� happened back then? Even though I''ve always firmly believed that you won''t betray the dragon clan, but �� you ultimately still didn''t come back!"


    Long Teng waved his hand and said, "It''s all some old millet and stale sesame stuff already. What''s the use of saying it?"{1. means stale topics of conversation]


    Ye Yuan actually did not have the slightest intention of defending himself. Ye Yuan also unwittingly sighed when he took it into his sights.


    Long Teng could have such magnanimous breadth of mind, how could he possibly betray the dragon clan?


    Others did not know, but Ye Yuan knew that he was together with Fang Tian at that time.


    With Fang Tian''s strength, returning to the dragon clan to take revenge with Long Teng, absolutely no one could stop it.


    But, he did not!


    "Sigh ��"


    Right then, a long sigh echoed out, shattering this somewhat deadlock situation.


    A figure slowly appeared. It was an old man whose hair and beard were all white.


    When Ao Duo and the rest saw him, their faces all changed, and they bowed down to salute and say, "Old Ancestor!"


    Old Ancestor waved his hand and said, "Lord Long Teng is here, aren''t you all shortening my lifespan by calling me old ancestor? Unfilial descendant, Ao Yong, pays respect to Lord Long Teng! Old Ancestor Ao Qian!"


    Long Teng seemed to have long known about Ao Yong''s existence and did not feel surprised by his appearance. He just said nonchalantly, "You''re also an old fellow who''s almost halfway into the earth. No need to pay such solemn respects."


    Although he said so, Long Teng still accepted this bow without misgivings.


    Ao Yong finished saluting and actually gave another deep bow towards Ye Yuan and said, "Ao Yong pays respect to the Azure Dragon Clan''s new lord!"


    When Ao Duo and the rest saw this scene, their expressions all changed greatly as they hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor ��"


    "Shut up! Ye Yuan bringing the Sacred Dragon Token back to the clan, he''s the common lord of the dragon race! Ao Duo, why haven''t you paid respects to the new lord? Also, you guys!" Ao Yong directly interrupted Ao Duo''s words and said sternly.


    Ao Duo''s expression changed several times. He did not understand why Old Ancestor would have this kind of attitude towards several guys with unclear backgrounds.


    It was just that Old Ancestor''s words, he did not dare to defy. He could only step forward and give a bow towards Ye Yuan unwillingly.


    "Ao Duo has seen the new lord!"


    Ao Jianbo and the rest did not dare to defy either and also went forward to salute.


    Ye Yuan was rather baffled. Why did the tone change so quickly?


    "Ao Duo couldn''t bear to part with this position of patriarch, that''s why he would create all sorts of obstacles for the new lord. Ao Yong apologizes to you on their behalf!"


    As he said, he bowed down towards Ye Yuan again.


    Ye Yuan hurried helped him up and said, "Senior doesn''t have to be like this. Ye Yuan has a score in my heart. It''s just that they shouldn''t have attacked Senior Long Teng!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan mention Long Teng, Ao Yong sighed again and said, "This secret has been hidden in the dragon clan for 50 thousand years. Now, it should also be brought into daylight! Lord Long Teng, the matters back then, Patriarch Xinghan was also endlessly ashamed and guilty later on. Looking on the account that everybody is of the same clan, will you forgive him?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    But Long Teng said with a smile that was not a smile, "At least the Ao Family has a reasonable person! It''s just that, why would this old man try to gain back face with a dead man? If this old man is really a traitor, even if I wipe out the dragon clan back then, it was also not unattainable! Don''t think that this old man is bragging, this old man''s strength back then is totally not what you all can imagine."


    Long Teng''s words made everyone endlessly terrified.


    At present, he was just an artifact spirit, and he still had such a terrifying strength. Back then, when he was at his prime, the degree of terror could be imagined!


    It was just that they did not know, Long Teng met Fang Tian later on. That was when he was truly terrifying.

 1022 The History 50 Thousand Years Ago

    "Senior Long Teng, actually, this junior has always been curious about your old scores back then. Can you tell me about it?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked curiously.


    Hearing Ye Yuan inquire like so, the others also perked their ears up, especially Ao Qian.


    The person he respected the most back then was Long Teng. But later on, Long Teng was driven out of the dragon clan because of the crime of betraying one''s clan. This made him unable to accept it at all for some time.


    Long Teng gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, "You brat, I know that you want to right my name for me. It''s just that so much time has passed, what''s the point of this undeserved reputation? The characters at that time have all already turned into withered bones in a graveyard. I only have empty words, saying it out, they might not believe it either."


    It was true that Ye Yuan was curious, but he was not curious for one or two days already.


    For so many years, Ye Yuan never opened his mouth to ask before all along. Inquiring in front of everybody at this time, it was naturally in order to rectify his name for him.


    Ao Yong hurriedly said, "Lord Long Teng, although Ao Yong doesn''t know what happened, I know that Patriarch Ao Xinghan frequently reproached himself in his twilight years, saying who he let down the most in this life was Lord Long Teng. Ao Yong also heard Father mention it by chance and came to know this matter. At present, there is only Ao Yong alone already!"


    "Yeah, Elder Teng. When you were commanding the wind and clouds back then, I was still just a junior and did not have the authority to speak at all. But I believe that you definitely wouldn''t betray the clan! Actually, it was also because of this matter that I was always on bad terms with the patriarch back then before finally leaving the dragon clan." Ao Qian said.


    Long Teng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since Ye Yuan wants to know, this old man will say it for you to hear. As for the rest, up to you to believe it or not."


    Following that, Long Teng talked tirelessly about this secret buried for 50 thousand years in his heart.


    Back then, Long Teng was not just the dragon clan''s number genius, he was also the dragon clan''s number two powerhouse. His strength was practically on the same level as the old patriarch.


    But he was much younger compared to the old patriarch. Given time, he would definitely become an existence like the old patriarch.


    At that time, the old patriarch was not Ao Xinghan yet, but it had also reached the time to pass the position.


    Long Teng was the number one expert among the clan''s junior generation, his support was naturally the highest. While the second successor, Ao Xinghan, regardless of whether in strength or prestige, it was way too lacking compared to him.


    At that time, the dragon clan had seven Void Mystic powerhouses. Their limelight in the entire Divine Realm also had no comparison and was fully deserving of being the number one major faction!


    But at that time, the human race also had a faction with exceedingly formidable strength called Bloodgod Temple.


    This Bloodgod Temple''s strength was much more formidable when compared to even the Azure Dragon Clan. The Azure Dragon Clan allied with the four symbols family clans at that time before fighting to a draw with the Bloodgod Temple.


    The Bloodgod Temple''s strength was exceedingly powerful, and their ambition also swelled excessively. They even wanted to unify the entire Divine Realm. And their greatest adversary was without a doubt the Azure Dragon Clan.


    These two great factions clashed with each other. Large-scale wars frequently occurred.


    Long Teng as the number one successor in-line at that time also achieved brilliant accomplishments in ware. The Bloodgod Temple divine king powerhouses that he slew numbered in the hundreds!


    All the way until one time, Long Teng obtained an intel. The Bloodgod Temple ambushed the Vermilion Bird Clan and caused the Vermilion Bird Clan to suffer heavy casualties.


    Long Teng had just completed a mission back then and was currently on the way back to the dragon clan. After obtaining this news, he did not say a word and immediately rushed towards the Vermilion Bird Clan without stopping.


    Who knew that with this, he actually fell into the encirclement of five Bloodgod Temple Void Mystic powerhouses!


    Only then, did Long Teng swiftly came to realize the truth. Turned out that this was just a trap!


    And the one who passed this intel to him was precisely Ao Xinghan!


    Facing the besieging of five Void Mystic experts, even if Long Teng had the ability to mount the heavens, it was also hard to escape death.


    That battle, Long Teng fought until everything turned dark one-versus-five.


    Finally, after slaying two of the other party''s Void Mystic experts, Long Teng finally could not hold on anymore.


    But even he also did not think that at the final moment, he was actually saved by Fang Tian.


    Although Long Teng did not die, after that battle, he used ten years time before healing all of his wounds.


    Later on, he returned to the clan, but discovered that he had already become a traitor, while Ao Xinghan already became the new patriarch!


    Hearing this story, everyone all sobbed and sighed unceasingly.


    Long Teng fought till the end for the dragon clan and nearly died. In the end, he was actually vilified as a traitor. How great of a humiliation was this!


    After Ao Qian heard, he could not help saying slowly, "Turns out �� Turns out that there was actually such a thing in-between this! I remember the matters on that day, Patriarch Xinghan said that he obtained the news Lord Long Teng sent over, saying that the Vermilion Bird Clan was ambushed and losses were heavy. Hence, he led numerous of the dragon clan''s experts to launch an attack. In the end, he also fell into the Bloodgod Temple''s encirclement, suffering a heavy toll of lives! Later, Elder Teng also went missing without a trace. Hence, the reputation of the dragon clan''s traitor became certain, and he was ousted from the dragon clan."


    Ao Qian was just a junior back then and could not come into contact with these upper echelon matters at all.


    And his version was entirely different from Long Teng''s. That meant that somebody was definitely lying between the two people.


    "Then �� Then what the hell happened?" Long Zaitian also could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort when he heard and said, "Isn''t this obvious yet? That Ao Xinghan knew that it was a huge set up in the first place, but this was an excellent opportunity that only happened once in a thousand years to him! Because Senior Long Teng became a traitor, he could succeed the position of patriarch right and properly! Therefore, he was clearly aware that this was a trap but still transmitted the news to Senior Long Teng. Then, he said that this intel was brought back by Senior Long Teng and also brought the dragon clan''s experts, and intentionally got caught in the Bloodgod Temple''s encirclement. This way, Senior Long Teng''s name of being a traitor became set in stone! It''s just that he probably never imagined that this setup was in order to deal with Senior Long Teng in the first place. Fighting five alone, Senior Long Teng never came back again!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Ao Duo''s expression changed, and he said coldly, "That is impossible! Old Ancestor Xinghan was the noblest patriarch in these 50 thousand years. He let the dragon clan crush the Bloodgod Temple, and his accomplishments surpassed ancient and modern times! You all �� are throwing dirty water on him!"


    The Bloodgod Temple''s ambition was ended at precisely Ao Xinghan''s hands. Therefore, his prestige was also the greatest among the successive patriarchs.


    All the way until today, his magnificent exploits and great feats were still talked about with great gusto among the dragon clan''s experts.


    And the dragon clan''s flourishing age 10 thousand years later could also be said to have been founded by him single-handedly.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually said that Ao Xinghan was the dragon clan''s traitor. Ao Duo could not accept it no matter what.


    But Ye Yuan burst into laughter when he heard and said with a disdainful look, "Ao Xinghan? He ended the Bloodgod Temple''s ambition? Bullshit!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan propped up a small pagoda in his hand and said mockingly, "Do you all know the origins of this quasi-divine artifact? And know why Senior Long Teng would become this quasi-divine artifact''s artifact spirit too? A bunch of fools who think of themselves to be infallible! If not for Senior Fang Tian and Senior Long Teng, this Divine Realm would have long become the fiend race''s world! Would it still be your turn to criticize Senior Long Teng?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Now that it came to this, Ye Yuan sorted out the matters that happened 50 thousand years ago clearly too.


    That Bloodgod Temple''s master was definitely the Heavenly Fiendgod that Long Teng talked about!


    The one who truly saved the Divine Realm was not Ao Xinghan. It was Fang Tian and Long Teng!

 1023 Essence, Energy, Spiri

    "Fiend race?"


    Ao Yong''s brows furrowed slightly, clearly rather surprised by this term''s sudden appearance.


    Not just Ao Yong, it was also Ao Qian''s first time hearing that the Bloodgod Temple actually had connections to the fiend race.


    "Senior Long Teng, I wonder if my guess is right? If my conjecture is correct, then the master of that Bloodgod Temple should be the Heavenly Fiendgod whom you speak of, right?" Ye Yuan said.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s intelligence, Long Teng had a taste of it long ago. He nodded his head at once and said, "That''s right."


    "What on earth are you all talking about? What fiend race?" Ao Qian could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, recounting the incident of 50 thousand years ago when the Heavenly Fiendgod was controlling the Bloodgod Temple from behind, planning to devour the entire Divine Realm.


    When the few people heard such a secret, they were all shocked until they could not speak.


    The upheaval of 50 thousand years ago, the Divine Realm''s upper echelons were basically all aware. But nobody knew that the unrest that time was actually related to the fiend race!


    Furthermore, according to what Ye Yuan said, that Heavenly Fiendgod''s strength was very terrifying. Void Mystic experts would crumble in one blow in front of him too.


    If not for Fang Tian who came roaring into being, this Divine Realm would have long become the fiend race''s world.


    But 50 thousand years had passed, this world did not leave behind Fang Tian''s name at all.


    Hearing this story, the feeling that it gave them was �� telling a story!


    "Then, according to what you said, Long Teng''s strength should be much stronger than Patriarch Xinghan. Since he knew that Patriarch Xinghan betrayed him, why didn''t he come back to take revenge?" Ao Duo said.


    Long Teng darted him a nonchalant glance but did not explain.


    However, Ao Qian looked at him like looking at an idiot, and berated, "Are you pig-headed? Elder Long Teng definitely came back before and met Patriarch Xinghan! At that time, the dragon clan was one of the Divine Realm''s strongest factions. Elder Teng took into consideration the situation as a whole, that''s why he didn''t make a move against Patriarch Xinghan! Later on, he and Senior Fang Tian had a great battle with the Heavenly Fiendgod, with both sides being mutually weakened. It was even more impossible to return to the dragon clan. If you doubt Elder Teng anymore, you''d really be a pig! Didn''t you see his strength? If Elder Teng had a physical body, how many of his moves do you think you can block?


    Ao Duo''s expression was incomparably ugly. But Ao Qian''s words, he really had no way of refuting.


    That simple exchange earlier, Long Teng''s strength was simply unfathomable. His understanding of the dragon race''s martial techniques was too terrifying.


    "Now that the story has played out like this, I wonder if you all are still acknowledging me as the lord of the dragon clan?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked in a solemn voice.


    Ao Duo''s expression changed, and he opened his mouth but did not speak.


    It already reached this point, it was all useless no matter what he said. Even Old Ancestor Ao Yong was standing on the other party''s side. Ye Yuan, this dragon clan lord, was incontestable.


    Ao Yong said, "That''s of course! The Sacred Dragon Token acknowledging you as master, you''re the lord of the dragon clan! This is the rule set by the ancestors, no one can change it! Dissenters are expelled from the dragon clan!"


    The moment these words came out, Ao Duo''s heart twitched fiercely and knew that him, this patriarch, had come to an end.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Since that''s the case, then I have three matters to instruct."


    Ao Yong bowed and said, "Dragon Lord, pray tell!"


    Ye Yuan said, "First, Senior Long Teng returns to the ancestral shrine anew and is written into the family tree! Second, you all can forget about the Sacred Dragon Token, unless my great enmity is avenged! Third, Ao Duo, you still be your patriarch, nobody is vying with you!"


    Ao Duo froze and could not help looking at Ye Yuan oddly, his gaze filled with a complicated expression.


    "I-Is this true?" Ao Duo looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since you all know my past life''s identity, you should know a little about my personality! Your position of patriarch, I''m not interested! Furthermore, I won''t stay for long in the dragon clan. You can rest assured and be your patriarch. However �� if there''s any more offense, don''t blame me for not being courteous!"


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan''s expression darkened and his words leaked a majesty that allowed no doubt.


    He was uninterested in authority and power, but it did not mean that anybody could affront him. When there was a need, he would naturally bring out the identity of the dragon clan lord.


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone incredibly shocked.


    The patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan, that was a position that was scalding hot to the touch in the entire Divine Realm. Ye Yuan actually rejected it flat out.


    Ao Duo and the rest were dazed a while before coming back to their senses now.


    This one before their eyes was not some brat still wet behind his ears, but that unrivaled Alchemy Emperor who did not care about what went on in the outside world in his past life!


    Ji Qingyun''s infatuation and heart that leaned towards Dao, the people in the Divine Realm all knew about it. If not for the sudden great change, there probably would not be this Ye Yuan in front of them emerging either, right?


    Although his appearance changed, Ji Qingyun was still that Ji Qingyun. Towards authority and power this sort of thing, he really did not have too great of an interest.


    Ao Duo froze there, uncertain how he should respond. It was still Ao Yong who came back to his senses first and said, "Many thanks for Dragon Lord''s generosity! The matters that Dragon Lord instructed, Ao Duo will definitely settle them."Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, but said to Long Teng, "Senior Long Teng, you said that when my bloodline rises to king rank, you''ll tell me the secrets of mystic qi. I wonder if �� you can tell me now?"


    Long Teng did not know Ye Yuan''s identity back then. Hence, that was why he entered this agreement. It was just that he never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan was actually of the Atavism Dragon Soul.


    Even without this agreement, some of the dragon clan''s secrets, he could also inform Ye Yuan already.


    Long Teng nodded his head right away and said, "You follow me!"


    ...


    Inside an extremely hidden palace underground the dragon clan, Ye Yuan looked at the divine inscriptions on the palace walls, endlessly shocked.


    "Divine inscriptions were written by Deity Realm powerhouses with the powers of law and are incomparably profound. This piece of divine inscription is the dragon race''s deity realm cultivation method. But ever since after Divine Dao disappeared, nobody was able to understand the mysteries anymore." Inside Long Teng''s words also revealed thick regret.


    Although the dragon clan was still domineering, after that great battle 50 thousand years ago, the dragon clan''s situation still went from bad to worse.


    By now, their strength was already far, far weaker.


    And the powers of law on the divine inscriptions, no one was able to comprehend them at all.


    "Then �� what''s mystic qi?"


    Mystic qi was what Ye Yuan heard inside Xie Lingzi''s grotto, but it was also just superficial knowledge.


    But this mystic qi seemed to be of utmost importance to achieving Deity Realm.


    Long Teng sighed and said, "Mystic qi flooding the body, Deity Realm is naturally achieved! These were the words that the dragon clan passed down all along. But when I accompanied Fang Tian to traverse everywhere in the Divine Realm and Lower Realms back then, I also didn''t find any so-called mystic qi."


    Ye Yuan''s expression became austere, and he said, "The spirit of the white tiger said that the Divine Realm lost a portion of its powers of law. Could it be that �� what''s missing is the most crucial mystic qi?"


    Long Teng nodded and said, "It should be so! Although I don''t know the secret of becoming a deity, this old man knows that wanting to break through to Deity Realm, Essence, Energy, and Spirit, not one can be missing! Apart from this, there is still something of vital importance, that is �� heart realm!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his eyes involuntarily lit up.


    The so-called essence, energy, and spirit, corresponded to the fleshy body, essence energy, and divine soul, respectively! This path, he had already all stepped into Tier 9 presently!


    As for heart realm, he was even unrivaled in the Divine Realm!


    Heaven Man Unity, barely anyone in the entire Divine Realm reached it.


    "Senior, just what function does this heart realm have?" Ye Yuan said curiously.Now, these 3 things(������) have to do with Taoism/Chinese culture. Essence refers to Vital Essence, namely, the body, or sometimes semen. Energy or Qi, is the breath, or in this case, essence energy. Spirit is the soul or mind. These three things are the essentials for sustaining life. The Essence, is the vessel for life, while the Energy fills it with life, and the Spirit controls it.

 1024 Eternal Medicine Garden

    "Heart realm can be said to be the bond linking the form of Essence, Energy, and Spirit, the three types of energy! Heart realm falling short, when assaulting Deity Realm, the three kinds of energy will be unable to reach an equilibrium state. The success rate of breaking through to Deity Realm will also be reduced drastically. To the majority of martial artists, they are ultimately still stuck on the checkpoint of heart realm." Long Teng said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he finally had a direct understanding regarding how to assault the Deity Realm.


    "Oh, right, you said that Senior Fang Tian had once reached Half-Deity Realm before. What kind of realm is that?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Long Teng smiled bitterly and said, "Fang Tian was the same as you, cultivating the Nine Characters True Word Formula at one point, and his heart realm likewise reached the degree of Heaven Man Unity. He once fused essence, energy, and spirit, and assaulting the Deity Realm. It''s just a shame that �� without mystic qi flooding the body, emperor qi is unable to transform to become divine essence. He ultimately still failed. One can say that he only lacked mystic qi between him and Deity Realm!"


    Ye Yuan came to a realization. He understood Long Teng''s meaning.


    Fang Tian actually succeeded in the fusion and reached a miraculous state between Dao Profound and Deity Realm. As long as there was mystic qi flooding the body, he would be able to break through to Deity Realm!


    It was too bad that in this world, one totally could not find mystic qi anymore.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Looks like if I can''t find mystic qi, wanting to break through to Deity Realm is something impossible!"


    Long Teng also said emotionally, "Precisely so!"


    ...


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, four divine king powerhouses appeared somewhat agitated. Even an old undying like Ao Qian also had a look of anticipation.


    Now, he already knew just how formidable Ye Yuan was in alchemy!


    An existence standing at the pinnacle of the entire Divine Realm''s alchemy path, if not for Divine Dao dwindling to zero, Alchemy God, this name, would absolutely belong to Ye Yuan.


    "You all don''t have to be so excited. High-grade Tier 9 spirit medicines are not that easy to find. At present, the one who is truly able to benefit is also just Shuangzhou. I''ve already let the dragon clan prepare the required spirit medicines for the Nine Truth Pill. Presumably, it can be refined today. As for the three of you, your medicinal pills, Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang''s Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill is still alright. But Ao Qian has been suppressed in the White Tiger Dungeon for too long and his foundation is pretty much damaged to the limit already. It''s extremely hard to restore." Ye Yuan said.


    The moment these words came out, Ruan Shuangzhou''s expression was agitated until it almost flushed crimson.


    He never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually did not take to heart his prior transgressions and helped him to refine medicinal pills!


    Reaching their boundary, ordinary medicinal pills basically all did not have much use anymore. Only high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills would be of assistance to them.


    And in the entire Divine Realm, how many could refine high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills?


    Therefore, after reaching the Divine King Realm, it was basically all relying on oneself to cultivate already. It was only the super holy lands, that sort of existences, that had the qualifications and extravagance to use high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills.


    Itinerant cultivators like Ruan Shuangzhou, if their talent was not exceptionally terrifying, they had pretty much reached an end too.


    But this Nine Truth Pill''s name, Ruan Shuangzhou had heard before. He did not think that Ye Yuan actually had the Nine Truth Pill''s pill formula. Furthermore, he could refine it at merely First Level Dao Profound.


    "Y-Young Master, my, Ruan Shuangzhou''s old life, will be sold to you from now onwards! In the future, Shuangzhou will definitely do my best to repay you even at the expense of my own life!" Ruan Shuangzhou said agitatedly.


    He was already at the peak of ordinary divine king now. With the Nine Truth Pill, he had full assurance in being able to break through to the ranks of first-rate divine king.


    Ye Yuan said, "Although the time you follow me isn''t long, this period of time, it was also at the risk of your own life and helped me greatly. As long as you all put your heart and soul into working for me, I naturally won''t treat you shabbily."


    Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang also said agitatedly, "Many thanks, Your Excellency!"


    Only Ao Qian had a bitter look as he said, "Your Excellency, then �� what what about me?"


    One''s own matters, one was aware of it. Actually, even though Ao Qian thought of leaving the White Tiger Dungeon, he completely had not thought about being able to recover at all.


    He was suppressed for as long as 20 thousand years, his Dao foundation had basically already completely collapsed. If not for him consuming the crane essence and his vitality was exuberant, he would have long croaked in the White Tiger Dungeon.


    To be able to come out, he already expressed thanks to heaven and earth.


    But he completely never thought that Ye Yuan, this master, actually gave him hope anew!


    Ao Qian was shrewd with age and knew that Ye Yuan was not too definitive in what he said. Then it meant that there was hope.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Counting the days, the Eternal Medicine Garden should be opening up soon, right?"


    When the few people heard the name Eternal Medicine Garden, their expressions became fearful. Clearly, they were very apprehensive of this place.


    "Your Excellency, you want to go to the Eternal Medicine Garden to find spirit medicines for us?" Jiang Taicang''s expression became an unprecedented solemness.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The two of your situations are similar. Spirit medicines to refine the Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill shouldn''t be hard to find inside the Eternal Medicine Garden. As for whether or not the spirit medicines that Ao Qian''s Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill requires can be found, it will need to depend on luck. Ao Qian is a Void Mystic expert and already surpassed the scope of Tier 9. The spirit medicines required are also not very easy to find."


    The three people exchanged glances and suddenly gave a solemn bow towards Ye Yuan and said, "Your Excellency is actually willing to take the risk for us, we''re willing to follow Your Excellency to the death!"


    The three people''s faces all revealed touched expressions. Clearly, they did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually do things to such an extent for his servants.


    Divine Realm had three great perilous lands and one great desolate land!


    The three great perilous lands were respectively Skywave Marsh, Void God Temple, as well as the Eternal Medicine Garden, while the one great desolate land was the Godsfall Mountain Range!


    The Eternal Medicine Garden opened once every 500 years, with countless spirit medicines inside. It was the place that martial artists and alchemists yearned for even in their dreams.


    This place had countless treasures but also had countless dangers.


    Inside not only had countless restrictions, array formations, there were also many spirit medicines that became spirits, as well as desolate beasts that even the Divine Realm did not have; extremely difficult to deal with.


    Each time the Eternal Medicine Garden opened, there were innumerable experts going after it like a flock of ducks. But every time, there were large batches of Dao Profound Realm experts who die inside.


    Of course, there were also people who obtained heaven-defying spirit medicines in the Eternal Medicine Garden and soared to the heavens with one leap from there.


    Therefore, even though it was dangerous, every time it opened, there were still countless experts who attempted to enter inside.


    Ye Yuan was actually willing to enter the Eternal Medicine Garden for them. How could this not move Ao Qian trio?


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You all are following me for as long as a thousand years, I naturally won''t treat you poorly. After the Nine Truth Pill is done refining, we''ll head for Cloudmarsh City and wait for the Eternal Medicine Garden to open."


    Actually, even if it was not for the three of them, Ye Yuan inevitably had to make this trip too.


    Firstly, it was in order to train. The other reason was going to find several spirit medicines.


    In his past life, Ye Yuan''s life-long pursuit was the Alchemy God Realm. For this, he made use of his erudite alchemy Dao knowledge and self-created a pill formula!


    This pill formula could be said to have gathered the major achievements of what Ye Yuan learned. He expended a hundred years altogether, and experienced countless times of failure, before barely completing the pill formula.


    It was just that he had yet to have time to officially refine the pill when Medicine King Hall''s change occurred, making his hundred years be all for naught.


    Re-doing it a second time in this life, Ye Yuan had to attempt it no matter what, and take a path that others had not walked before!


    He wanted to borrow the power of medicinal pills and break through to the Deity Realm in one go!

 1025 Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Ar

    Whether or not this pill formula could succeed, Ye Yuan himself was not certain either.


    But in the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, the martial artists all exhausted ways to break through the fetters of Divine Dao. He, Ye Yuan, as a heaven''s chosen of his generation, was naturally not willing to fall behind.


    This Immemorial Medicine Garden opened once every 500 years. Ye Yuan, as a peak Alchemy Emperor, it was naturally impossible to miss it.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was currently in urgent need of increasing his strength. The Immemorial Medicine Garden, this kind of place, was just right for him.


    The Azure Dragon Clan was well-deserving of being one of the Divine Realm''s strongest factions. The spirit medicines that Ye Yuan needed was prepared on the second day.


    After breaking through to Dao Profound Realm, Ye Yuan''s soul force already reached middle-stage Alchemy Emperor. Although refining high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills was somewhat taxing, it was also within the scope of his abilities.


    Ye Yuan did not have any taboos when refining pills. Ao Qian and the rest all observed by the side. Several of the dragon clan''s upper echelons were also present.


    As for Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong, they naturally would not be absent.


    The two of them followed Ye Yuan and already broke through to Alchemy Venerable Realm as well. Their alchemy path strength was already extremely formidable.


    Currently, making them establish their own school of thought, it absolutely would not be inferior to those Alchemy Emperors either.


    Ye Yuan firing up the furnace and refining pills, there naturally could not dispense with the two of them.


    "Alchemy Dao, high-grade Tier 9 is a watershed. High-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills, each one seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth and resonates with the Great Dao. Without a deep understanding of the Great Dao, it''s impossible to refine successfully. Today, what Master is refining is the most elementary Nine Truth Pill among high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills. You guys learn from it well," Ye Yuan lectured Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong.


    "Yes, Master!" The two people immediately voiced their assent.


    Only after following Ye Yuan these few years did they truly discover the joys of alchemy Dao, and immersed in it, and were unable to extricate themselves.


    It was also precisely because so that their alchemy Dao strength advanced by leaps and bounds.


    This persistence was quite similar to the previous life''s Ye Yuan. This point also made Ye Yuan very relieved.


    Especially Xiao Ruyan, she had long thrown that beautiful thought beyond the ninth heaven already. Currently, towards Ye Yuan, other than worship, it was still worship.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan lightly shook, directly shattering those spirit medicines to dust.


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo!


    It was only to see Ye Yuan seemingly perform magic condensing the shattered medicinal powder into an embryo.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s other hand lit the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron adeptly with one hand.


    Rumble!


    The medicinal embryo entered the cauldron, emitting a series of jubilant and dancing sounds.


    Along with Ye Yuan starting to refine, his refining technique was not incomparably sensational like in the past. But every action, every movement, gave people a feeling of refreshing the spirit.


    The current Ye Yuan gave people a sort of unreal feeling.


    He was clearly refining pills right here, but the feeling he gave people was so fleeting and ephemeral.


    "Resonance with Great Dao! S-Such formidable alchemy skills!" Ao Qian cried out in shock.


    Void Mystic experts'' comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was extremely keen.


    Each one of Ye Yuan''s movements all worked in concert with the mysteries of Dao. Hence, that was why it would give people this sort of illusionary and real misconception.


    "They all said that Master was an unrivaled Alchemy Emperor in his past life and only used several hundred years time to reach the peak of alchemy Dao. I still didn''t quite believe it in my heart. Looking at it now, his boundary in alchemy Dao is even further than what we''ve walked along the martial path!" Wu Luo sighed with admiration.


    Jian Taicang felt that way deeply too and said with a nod, "The effort that the alchemy path requires to expend tends to be ten times, even a hundred times compared to the martial path''s. For Master to be able to reach such a boundary in a short few hundred years, it''s truly inconceivable! If not for unexpectedly perishing, he might not be unable to rely on Alchemy Dao to break apart the shackles!"


    These three people were all figures standing at the peak of Martial Dao. The geniuses that they had seen before were countless.


    But when they saw Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills, they also had a feeling of being ashamed of their inadequacy.


    To be able to walk to this step along the alchemy path, Ye Yuan was truly an unparalleled genius.


    Just as everyone was sighing with admiration, the skies suddenly dimmed. Lifting their heads and looking over, they saw a massive formation diagram appear in the sky.


    There were complex lines above the formation diagram. But the most conspicuous was still those nine dim stars.


    Rumble!


    A ray of light suddenly shot out from inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and charged straight for the clouds!


    Under everyone''s astonished gazes, that first dim star was suddenly lit!


    Incomparably shocked expressions showed on Ao Qian''s and the others'' faces. This scene was too overwhelming.


    "This �� This is the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! My god, His Excellency actually mastered this alchemy skill! No wonder he dared to refine a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill when he had just entered Dao Profound!" Ao Qian said with incredible shock.


    Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo also had solemn looks as they said, "You''re certain that �� this is the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art?"


    Ao Qian nodded and said, "Absolutely correct! Back then, this old man expended a tremendous price and found the Alchemist Association''s chairman in order to refine a medicinal pill. What that old fellow used at that time was the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! Back then, the exact same phenomenon also appeared above the sky as now! When the nine stars on the formation diagram are lit up, the medicinal pill will be formed!"


    Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo were also old monster class figures and had great experiences. But the people able to master the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art were seriously too few. Therefore, they had only heard of it but never saw before with their own eyes.


    Hearing Ao Qian''s words, they were all endlessly shocked.


    Only at this time, did they know how terrifying a master they followed!


    Ao Qian paused for a bit and continued saying, "But that old fellow spent a full 5000 year''s time to cultivate the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! While Ye Yuan he �� Counting in his previous life''s years, it also won''t surpass 500 years old. This disparity ��"


    Ao Qian did not say finish, but the meaning in his words was already very obvious.


    Similar to peak Alchemy Emperors, Ye Yuan''s potential was far greater compared to that generation''s Alchemist Association''s chairman!


    Just as Ao Qian and the rest were in shock, the dragon clan already burst into an uproar.


    "What''s going on? It was still fine earlier, why did the sky suddenly darken?"


    "The heavens dropping a phenomenon, could it be that someone is transcending tribulation again? But looking at this appearance, it''s not too alike!"


    "Nine stars formation diagram, what the hell is this?"


    Those dragon clan''s clan members, nobody had seen before such a phenomenon at all and was guessing ceaselessly one after another.


    Ao Lin looked at that nine stars formation diagram above the firmament and said with a sigh, "This punk reincarnating, not only did his alchemy path strength not regress, it advanced even more!"


    Ao Duo''s expression flickered ceaselessly and said somberly, "Nine stars formation diagram, Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! Dragon Lord''s alchemy path strength is indeed daunting until it makes people feel frightened! Perhaps �� he can really carve out a path that the forefathers have never taken before, who knows!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Swoosh!


    Another beam of light shot towards the sky and lit up the nine stars formation diagram''s second star!


    Ye Yuan was currently fully immersed in the pill refinement and already completely could not sense the outside world''s matters.


    But right then, an abnormal change suddenly occurred inside his sea of consciousness!


    Those divine inscriptions suddenly radiated with brilliant golden light and flew out of his sea of consciousness one by one, and entered inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron through his soul force.


    Rumble ��


    The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron gave off intense tremors. Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly snapped open, his gaze revealing a dumbfounded look of amazement.

 1026 What Grade?

    "This �� What''s going on here? Could it be that �� the refinement failed?"


    Ruan Shuangzhou looked at the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s transformation nervously. This medicinal pill was refined for him. If it were to be ruined, he would have no place to go and cry.


    The expressions of Ao Qian and the rest were likewise very ugly. It was clearly still smooth-sailing earlier, why would the situation suddenly change drastically?


    The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s undulations became more and more intense. This sort of undulation was virtually identical with the forewarning of cauldron explosion.


    "Not good, the cauldron is going to explode!" Ao Qian''s expression changed as he said.


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong were already greatly alarmed when they saw the situation and yelled, "Master, quickly give up, the cauldron is going to explode!"


    High-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills, once the cauldron exploded, the power was unimaginable. It was virtually equivalent to a Divine King''s all-out attack.


    At a distance as close as Ye Yuan''s, he would be seriously injured if not dead.


    But Ye Yuan seemingly could not hear everyone''s yells at all. The movements of his hands did not pause in the slightest. The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s undulations became more and more intense.


    Ao Qian''s face fell, and he said, "No way! At this rate, Ye Yuan will be blown to death! You all move aside, I''ll go save him!"


    Done talking, Ao Qian arrived within the range of Ye Yuan''s pill refinement in a panic. He did not pause in the slightest and directly extended his hand towards Ye Yuan and grabbed.


    But right at this time, a ray of golden light flashed out from inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Rumble!


    Ao Qian was directly blasted until he flew out far away, without the least bit of strength to resist.


    Everyone turned pale with fright and hurriedly went over to help Ao Qian up.


    "Ao Qian, are you alright?" Wu Luo asked.


    Ao Qian did not speak, his gaze locked onto the direction Ye Yuan was at, his gaze filled with a look of shock!


    "Divine Dao aura! It''s absolutely Divine Dao aura! This is the undulation of Divine Dao laws! H-How is this possible?" Ao Qian had a look of disbelief as he muttered.


    Hearing Ao Qian''s murmurings, everyone''s faces all revealed dumbfounded expressions. Refining Tier 9 medicinal pills, how could the undulation of Divine Dao laws possibly appear?


    Rumble!


    Right then, another ray of golden light shot toward the sky from inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and headed straight for the nine stars formation diagram.


    But this ray of golden light was several times more blinding compared to the two rays previously!


    For some time, the nine stars formation diagram radiated with a brilliant splendor, dazzling until people could not open their eyes.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan had a look of intoxication. All of his body and mind was used to comprehend the divine inscriptions of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon!


    He also did not expect that this kind of abnormal change would actually occur when refining Tier 9 medicinal pills after breaking through to Dao Profound.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was his alchemy Dao comprehensions arousing the divine inscriptions'' resonance, that was why this kind of change would occur.


    Divine inscriptions were written with the power of laws. Ye Yuan''s alchemy Dao comprehensions already reached an exceedingly high realm. With every movement, it would produce a resonance with the Great Dao.


    While the Medicine God''s Soul Canon was an alchemy Dao''s arcane canon. What was written inside were all alchemy Dao laws.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan displaying the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art finally triggered the divine inscriptions'' abnormal change.


    Ye Yuan carefully comprehended the Divine Dao laws and actually had a feeling of achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of a subject. Although this sort of feeling could not be put into words, it was recorded inside his body bit by bit. It had tremendous benefits regarding Ye Yuan''s path of alchemy Dao in the future.


    The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron did not blow up. It emitted rays of golden light instead. Ye Yuan actually gave people a sort of sacred feeling being situated inside these golden lights. Ao Qian they all actually had an impulse to want to prostrate in worship.


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    ...


    Rays of golden light shot towards the sky. The stars on the nine stars formation diagram were lighting up one by one.


    Originally, with Ye Yuan''s present cultivation realm, completing the refinement this time and lighting up the nine stars required a full three days.


    Now, this process was cut down by three times!


    And the refinement of the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art was more difficult the more it reached the back. Especially the ninth star, it was when problems occurred the easiest.


    But now, this process was completed incomparably smoothly.


    The final ray of golden light shot up towards the sky and directly converged into the ninth star on the formation diagram.


    All of a sudden, the entire formation diagram gave off a dazzling light, illuminating the originally dark skies like it was daytime.


    A glint flickered across Ye Yuan''s eyes, and he cried out, "Formation diagram, retract! Medicinal pill, form!"


    It was as if the nine stars formation diagram obtained a command and actually slowly landed in the direction of the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Rumble!


    Under Ye Yuan''s manipulation, that gargantuan formation diagram shrunk until it was roughly the size of a square inch, and directly entered inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Seeing this scene, the agitation inside Ruan Shuangzhou''s heart was simply unable to be described with words.


    This was a medicinal pill refined with Divine Dao laws. What kind of effect would it achieve?


    But he immediately became somewhat worried about personal gains and losses. This medicinal pill was so precious, so would Ye Yuan give him or not?


    Ye Yuan currently took in four Divine King servants, and his strength was the weakest. If Ye Yuan did not give him, that was also something within reason.


    "Go, go over and take a look!" Jiang Taicang patted Ruan Shuangzhou''s shoulder and said smilingly.


    "Don''t come over, it hasn''t ended yet!" Ye Yuan suddenly gave a stern cry, frightening Ao Qian and the others who were just about to come over.


    Originally, the nine stars formation diagram was already withdrawn, and the skies had cleared up. But at this time, dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead in the skies again. A terrifying pressure descended upon the dragon clan once more.


    "What the hell? Heavenly tribulation again?"


    "It wouldn''t be a Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation one more time, right? Isn''t this wanting our old lives?"


    "Seeing ghosts! Dragon Lord is too capable of inflicting suffering! Refining a pill actually called down such a terrifying heavenly tribulation!"


    There was a hubbub of clamoring in the dragon clan, each and every one criticizing him endlessly.


    The other day, Ye Yuan had just summoned a terrifying Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation and nearly made the dragon clan suffer heavy casualties.


    It had only been a few days and he summoned such a terrifying heavenly tribulation again by refining a medicinal pill.


    Crack crack �� Rumble!


    In a twinkle, a bolt of lightning the thickness of a basin directly hurtled down from within the void, rumbling into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Following that, bolt after bolt of lightning tribulation rumbled down, continuously lasting for as long as an hour!


    Seeing that that terrifying heavenly tribulation did not affect bystanders, only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.


    Ye Yuan did not stay very far away. He knew that this was pill tribulation. It aimed for medicinal pills and did not target the person.


    To be able to trigger pill tribulation, not one was not a heaven-defying medicinal pill.


    His pill refinement this time actually triggered Divine Dao laws. This Nine Truth Pill was probably not ordinary.


    Once his thoughts reached here, Ye Yuan also could not wait to open up the furnace and examine the pill.


    This level of high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill, it was Ye Yuan''s first time refining it too. He naturally looked forward to it endlessly.


    As for the other people, especially Ruan Shuangzhou, that went even more without saying.


    "Your Excellency, this �� What grade will this Nine Truth Pill be?" Ruan Shuangzhou asked very cautiously, like a little wifey that did not dare to speak.


    What he was most afraid of right now was Ye Yuan suddenly saying that this medicinal pill was not giving to him.


    How could Ye Yuan not know his thoughts? He smiled and said, "Relax, no matter what grade of medicinal pill it is, it''s yours!"


    Ruan Shuangzhou felt that the most wonderful words he heard in this lifetime were this sentence of Ye Yuan''s just now.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    "Everybody back off a little, I''m going to open the furnace and inspect the pill!"


    Everyone retreated several steps, but their eyes were staring fixedly at the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Clang!


    Ye Yuan slightly formed a seal and suddenly saw a ray of golden light flash past, shooting straight for the clouds!

 1027 Arcane Insight Rank!

    "Want to run?"


    A hint of a faint smile flashed past the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, and his figure suddenly vanished from sight. When he appeared again, he already grasped that ray of golden light in his hands.


    When he returned, a group of people immediately moved close in front of him, with curious looks.


    "Your Excellency, this medicinal pill is truly magical, to actually want to escape!" Jiang Taicang said with a curious baby appearance.


    "Master, just what grade is this Nine Truth Pill? Let us take a look!" Xiao Ruyan said curiously.


    Even old monsters like Ao Qian also could not restrain their curiosity, all stretching their necks far out.


    Ye Yuan smiled and casually laid down several restrictions. This medicinal pill could forget about escaping.


    He slowly opened up his hand. For a moment, golden light shone resplendently.


    "Ouch, blinding my eyes!" Jiang Taicang howled.


    This guy was just a thief in the end and also the most peculiar among the four people. But that glaring golden light really dazzled him.


    "One actually can''t smell any medicinal fragrance from this medicinal pill! Looks like the medicinal smell condenses and doesn''t dissipate! It''s just that �� there''s no way to determine this grade at all! Seems like �� it''s not transcendent-grade?" Ao Qian said doubtfully.


    The grade of medicinal pills tend to be able to be judged from appearances as well as the energy undulations the medicinal pill emitted.


    But this Nine Truth Pill before their eyes, one could not perceive its depths at all.


    But without a doubt, this medicinal pill''s grade was exceedingly high. The medicinal effects were probably unimaginable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Have you all heard of arcane insight before?"


    When Ao Qian heard that, his entire body involuntarily trembled as he said in disbelief, "You''re saying �� this �� this Nine Truth Pill is actually the arcane insight rank of the legends?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Above transcendent-grade is arcane insight!"


    Ao Qian came to a realization and said, "Yes, yes, I should have thought of it long ago! This guy actually wanted to escape itself. What could it be if not arcane insight?"


    "Hey, Old Ao, what''s arcane insight?" Jiang Taicang could scarcely wait by the side as he asked.


    The rank of arcane insight, ordinary people had not heard of it before. Because in these recent 100 thousand years, there had never been anyone capable of refining arcane insight rank medicinal pills yet!


    Ao Qian sucked in a deep breath and said, "Actually, above transcendent-grade, medicinal pills have even higher grades, that is the rank of arcane insight! It''s just that in the wake of Divine Dao dwindling to zero, there is already no one capable of refining arcane insight rank medicinal pills!"


    Jiang Taicang was confused and asked, "This is just a Tier 9 medicinal pill, what has it got to do with Divine Dao?"


    "Of course it''s related! Because �� medicinal pills of the arcane insight rank can only be refined by Deity Realm powerhouses! In other words, only Deity Realm powerhouses refining Tier 9 and below medicinal pills, would it reach the rank of arcane insight!" Ao Qian looked at Ye Yuan with an expression like he saw a ghost, thinking inwardly that this guy was seriously too freakish.


    "Hiss ��" Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, being startled by Ao Qian''s words.


    A medicinal pill that only Deity Realm powerhouses could refine was refined by an initial-stage Alchemy Emperor?


    "Then �� Then this medicinal pill �� just what kind of medicinal effect does it have?" Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed his saliva and asked.


    Before this, Ruan Shuangzhou had never imagined that he would have such a jittery day.


    He was currently filled with anticipation towards this arcane insight rank Nine Truth Pill.


    "That''s hard to say! But one thing is certain, the medicinal effects of arcane insight rank are much, much stronger compared to transcendent-grade. Furthermore, it''s said that arcane insight rank medicinal pills will tend to have unexpected additional effects. As for what this effect is, that''s hard to say," Ao Qian said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Wouldn''t you know if you just try?"


    Finished talking, he directly threw the medicinal pill to Ruan Shuangzhou.


    The others looked at this scene with envious looks. This was an arcane insight rank medicinal pill!


    Perhaps in these 100 thousand years, this was the one and only one.


    The unique one in 100 thousand years! Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Ruan Shuangzhou himself also did not quite dare to believe that a meat pie falling from the sky, this sort of thing, actually smashed onto his head.


    Gulp ��


    Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed his saliva disappointingly but kept delaying and did not swallow the medicinal pill.


    "Sigh, eat it, you punk. Do you want to worry us to death? You have to know, it''s just this one in 100 thousand years! You, this punk, really picked up a huge bargain!" Jiang Taicang looked at his appearance and said indignantly.


    A portion inside here was really anxious, while the other part was envy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You all don''t have to envy Ruan Shuangzhou. Refining the Nine Truth Pill this time, my comprehensions towards alchemy Dao became a level deeper. Presumably, the next refinement, the grade shouldn''t be lousier than this time."


    Ye Yuan''s might lied in that his foundation was too solid. Therefore, his pill refinement success rates were frighteningly high.


    With the pill refinement this time, Ye Yuan finally had a hint of understanding towards the Divine Dao laws in the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. This was a massive improvement to his alchemy Dao!


    But it was also precisely because of the refinement this time, that it let him experience the extensiveness and profundities of Divine Dao laws. What he comprehended was merely just some superficial knowledge.


    But just this bit of smattering already let him glean considerable gains.


    But this also made Ye Yuan realize that his alchemy Dao path had only just begun!


    Ye Yuan''s words made Ao Qian and the rest perk up all at once.


    Yeah, with Ye Yuan''s alchemy Dao strength, once he came into contact with Divine Dao laws, refining medicinal pills the next time might be even more impressive.


    Thinking up to here, Ao Qian and the rest could not wait even longer to see the medicinal effects of this arcane insight rank Nine Truth Pill.


    "Then �� Then �� I''m eating it?" Ruan Shuangzhou asked rather uncertainly.


    "Good lord, I say, just eat it!" Jiang Taicang wished that he could throw a slap over.


    In front of everyone, Ruan Shuangzhou swallowed the medicinal pill in one bite.


    Immediately, a flame seemingly started immolating in his abdomen. An incredibly powerful warm current instantly reached all the limbs and bones of the body, making him comfortable until he nearly cried out.


    Ruan Shuangzhou''s aura rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Seeing this scene, Ao Qian and the rest all opened their eyes wide.


    This medicine effect was also a little too strong, right?


    "The Nine Truth Pill is merely a very ordinary high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. An ordinary Nine Truth Pill''s advancement effect on a martial artist will end when it reaches here, right? But this medicinal pill seems to have just started!" Ao Qian exclaimed with shock.


    "Tsk tsk, Ruan Shuangzhou this brat is really blessed! Arcane insight rank medicinal pill, ordinary Divine Kings can''t even dream about it!" Jiang Taicang clicked his tongue and lauded.


    Reaching the Divine King Realm, even advancing a tiny bit was extremely difficult. But this arcane insight rank Nine Truth Pill directly escorted Ruan Shuangzhou to the rankings of first-rate Divine Kings!


    Moreover, his aura was still rising continuously.


    ...


    Three days later, Ruan Shuangzhou finally slowly opened his eyes. Rays of brilliant light erupted from his two eyes.


    "Punk, how is it, how is it? The feeling of breaking through to first-rate Divine King is very good, right?" Jiang Taicang asked anxiously.


    Ruan Shuangzhou drew a deep breath and said with a smile, "Indescribably good!"


    Done talking, Ruan Shuangzhou slowly got up and came before Ye Yuan, and bowed deeply as he said, "I, Ruan Shuangzhou, am willing to follow Young Master to the death from this day onwards!"

 1028 Cloudmarsh City

    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "How is it? Are there any unexpected harvests?"


    Arcane insight rank medicinal pills would have some unexpected effects. This effect, only the person who consumed the medicine would know themselves.


    Ruan Shuangzhou slowly nodded and said rather excitedly, "My second supreme true intent has been stuck at the bottleneck for several hundred years already. At this time, I suddenly saw the whole thing in a clear light!"


    The division between ordinary Divine Kings and first-rate Divine Kings was merely the division of essence energy realm.


    Ninth Level Dao Profound was a minor realm with a tremendous span. From just entering Ninth Level Dao Profound to the Ninth Level Dao Profound''s great circle of perfection, this was a very drawn-out process.


    That did not mean that the strength of first-rate Divine Kings was definitely stronger than ordinary Divine Kings.


    If one''s concept comprehension was very impressive, ordinary Divine Kings could likewise crush first-rate Divine Kings.


    Just take Ye Yuan for example, with his concepts comprehension, he would be able to easily crush first-rate Divine Kings when he just entered Ninth Level Dao Profound, even peak Divine Kings.


    While Void Mystic powerhouses, unless they had special means, otherwise, their essence energy realm was not much stronger compared to peak Divine Kings.


    But their strength could fling peak Divine Kings ten streets behind.


    The Nine Truth Pill was just a medicinal pill for increasing essence energy. Ruan Shuangzhou never would have thought that his second supreme true intent would be comprehended without extra effort just like that.


    This was not just a tiny bit to his strength increase.


    Ruan Shuangzhou''s second supreme true intent was stuck for several hundred years. There was basically no hope of breaking through already. But this arcane insight Nine Truth Pill actually directly let him comprehend the second supreme true intent.


    Ao Qian said in surprise, "Could it be that this arcane insight Nine Truth Pill can even increase comprehension ability?"


    Ruan Shuangzhou also had a bewildered look and said, "That, I don''t know! All in all, when I was breaking through, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, and I comprehended it just like that. As for whether or not can it really increase comprehension ability, it will have to depend on cultivation in the future."


    Jiang Taicang had an envious look as he said, "If it''s really able to increase comprehension ability, this arcane insight medicinal pill is also too heaven-defying!"


    Many Divine King experts were unable to break through in their entire lives. They were lacking in comprehension ability. If arcane insight medicinal pills could increase comprehension ability, that its function to martial artists was simply incalculable.


    Ao Qian trio looked at Ye Yuan. This time, they were utterly convinced by him.


    They were all Divine King experts with very senior qualifications and whose strength pierced the heavens. The reason why they followed Ye Yuan was also being compelled by the circumstances.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Although they had some understanding towards Ye Yuan''s past life''s might, that was all hearsay, and they did not have a direct understanding.


    But now, they were very motivated. Because they saw limitless possibility from Ye Yuan!


    Following Ye Yuan, they might have even greater development space in the future!


    Seeing Ye Yuan and the others came out of the dragon clan with his own eyes, Ao Duo also heaved a long sigh in relief.


    An authentic Dragon Lord staying in the clan, he was listless all over.


    Of course, the only regret was that the Sacred Dragon Token was unable to return to the clan.


    "Duo-er, stop having any more designs on the Sacred Dragon Token in the future! Ye Yuan he is the dragon race''s common lord. This point will never ever change, you need to remember that!" after Ye Yuan left, Ao Yong said solemnly.


    "But Old Ancestor, why is that so? How could a human obtain the Sacred Dragon Token''s recognition and also, why would he have an Atavism Dragon Soul?" Ao Duo said, unresignedly.


    Ye Yuan''s existence was simply like a fish bone stuck in the throat to him.


    If Ye Yuan was the dragon race''s common lord, then what did he count as?


    Ao Yong shook his head and said, "Although I don''t know why, he definitely has great connections with the dragon clan! There is absolutely no way a physique like the Atavism Dragon Soul would appear on a human without rhyme or reason. But since it appeared, we can only accept it unconditionally! The terror of a bloodline backlash, don''t you forget it!"


    Ao Duo''s expression changed, and he nodded his head and did not speak anymore.


    Ao Yong mused for a moment and continued, "After Ye Yuan reincarnated, his lucky chances were heaven-defying. He has likely already shouldered heaven''s mandate! Him becoming the dragon race''s common lord might not be a bad thing to my dragon race. The Sacred Dragon Token might be more useful in his hands than in our hands."


    Ao Duo was silent and did not speak, but he also knew deep down that what Old Ancestor said was the correct thing. It was just that he was in this position and could not quite let go of many things.


    ...


    Cloudmarsh City.


    It had always been the paradise for alchemists.


    Because it was adjacent to the Immemorial Medicine Garden, the medicinal pills market here was very prosperous.


    Especially some itinerant alchemists all liked to gather here. In the course of time, this place became the number three great faction apart from the Alchemist Association and Medicine King Hall.


    At present, the Medicine King Hall was falling into pieces. Although it was still the Medicine King Hall in name, it was already no longer the Medicine King Hall in reality. The Cloudmarsh City became the Divine Realm''s number two great Alchemy Path faction with a leap.


    The reason why Cloudmarsh City could stand tall and not collapse originated from its powerful spirit medicine resources.


    Even the Alchemist Association would sometimes come here and gather spirit medicines.


    Of course, the Alchemist Association was just a loose organization. Not all the alchemists were subordinate to the Alchemist Association.


    At present, the opening of the Immemorial Medicine Garden was at hand. Many more martial artists and alchemists gathered here.


    "Wow, this place really has so many spirit medicines! As long as one has money, it''s virtually not a problem to want to refine whatever medicinal pill here!" Xiao Ruyan jumped for joy as she said.


    Coming to Cloudmarsh City, Ye Yuan did not let Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong cultivate in closed-seclusion anymore. He was letting them come out and enrich their experiences.


    This place was the paradise for alchemists. The atmosphere of alchemy skills was very thick and in full bloom.


    On the streets, apart from all kinds of spirit medicine stalls, there were even all sorts of alchemy battle arenas.


    As long as one paid a fixed fee, they could go up the stage and compare notes on pill refinement techniques.


    Ye Yuan nodded when he heard that and said, "Although the Immemorial Medicine Garden normally doesn''t open, the heaven and earth spiritual qi around Cloudmarsh City is much greater compared to other places. Just the outer areas are already sufficient for martial artists to digest."


    One could say that Cloudmarsh City was virtually established in the midst of spirit medicine heaps.


    "Master, there are so many people competing in alchemy here! Have you come here to compete in alchemy before?" Xiao Ruyan suddenly asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Of course. Back then, I was young and rash. When I had just broken through to Alchemy Emperor Realm, I''d once stopped over for as long as several years here. Those few years were also no small harvest to master."


    Xiao Ruyan was also aware of Ye Yuan''s true identity now. Only then did she know just how remarkable of a master she had acknowledged.


    That small matter in the Fierce Gale World back then was simply a master running into the midst of a group of apprentices; too much of a child''s play.


    As Ye Yuan said, his face also revealed a look of reminiscence, with a manner of somewhat recalling the memorable years of his life.


    But Xiao Ruyan''s eyes lit up when she heard and pulled Ye Yuan as she asked curiously, "Master, talk about your battle results, eh! I''m very curious about whether or not you''ve lost before when you just broke through to Alchemy Emperor."


    Ye Yuan suddenly stopped his footsteps and nudged with a mouth as he said smilingly, "Wouldn''t you know if you go over and take a look yourself?"


    Xiao Ruyan froze. Following Ye Yuan''s gaze and looking over, she saw three pieces of enormous stone tablets.


    "Alchemy Saint Proclamation, Alchemy Venerable Proclamation, Alchemy Emperor Proclamation ��"


    Xiao Ruyan''s gaze swept past one by one and finally landed on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation.


    All of a sudden, her gaze froze at the top, her eyes revealing a look of disbelief.

 1029 Beginning

    On the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation, Ji Qingyun''s name was shockingly ranked in the first place!


    "First place, Ji Qingyun, a total of 5843 matches, complete victory!"


    Xiao Ruyan muttered out this row of words and was shocked until she could not close her mouth.


    When Ao Qian they all saw Ji Qingyun''s battle results on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation, each and every one of them exchanged glances too, endlessly shocked.


    Roughly 5843 matches, not a single defeat. This battle result was seriously too insane.


    Men all made mistakes, horses all stumbled.


    Even someone stronger would come a time when they fumbled.


    But Ye Yuan actually had yet to taste defeat in close to 6000 matches of pill battles. How heaven-defying the alchemy skills did one need to have?Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Looking at those alchemists ranked below Ye Yuan again, the difference from him was not an ordinary kind of big.


    Even the number two on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation had close to 5000 matches of pill battle, but lost a hundred over matches.


    This gap �� was too great!


    Only Yue Mengli was crystal clear in her heart regarding Ye Yuan''s past life''s achievements and did not have a very shocked expression. But her face did not stint in the slightest with an expression of idolization.


    Ao Qian they all were aware that this Cloudmarsh City''s history was long and rich. The custom of pill battles was very flourishing. There were frequently powerful alchemists coming over to spar in alchemy skills.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan had merely just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm back then. His strength was not yet as formidable as currently.


    At that time, he could already sweep away all alchemists and directly ascend the top-seat of the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation?


    Ao Qian, the four of them, looked at Ye Yuan like they were seeing a ghost. Even though they had all witnessed Ye Yuan''s pill refining capabilities, the ranking on that Alchemy Emperor Proclamation still made them somewhat breakdown.


    But regarding this matter, Ruan Shuangzhou knew a little about it.


    "This was already 300 years ago. It was also precisely because His Excellency competed in alchemy in Cloudmarsh City back then, that he rose to fame and was canonized as a genius alchemist closest to Alchemy God in 100 thousand years! Because milord was ranked first in Cloudmarsh City''s 100 thousand-year history of pill battles! Although I wasn''t present, I heard that back then, the entire Divine Realm''s genius alchemists all flocked in great numbers in order to challenge milord. But all of them failed without any exception! Resulting in that later on, nobody dared to get on the stage to answer the challenge at all. That''s why milord''s consecutive victories'' match count stopped at 5843 matches. Now that 300 years had passed, there is still no one capable of surpassing this achievement," Ruan Shuangzhou talked to himself, but his gaze was filled with a look of worship.


    Ao Qian and the rest all had expressions like they had seen a ghost. They were suppressed in the White Tiger Dungeon for god knows how many years and were completely unaware of the things that happened in the outside world.


    They did not expect that such a sensational incident actually happened before in this Cloudmarsh City.


    They finally know now, how Ye Yuan''s reputation of ''closest to Alchemy God'' came about.


    Honestly speaking, when they heard this label back then, they more or less still snorted in contempt inwardly.


    In the era where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, how many exceedingly talented people did not dare to say that they could reach the Deity Realm either. What right did Ye Yuan have?


    But now, they felt that this title did not have any excessive aspects in the slightest.


    "Tch, nothing to be excited about! Looking at your expressions, it''s feeling shocked by Ji Qingyun''s achievement, right? It''s merely 5000 over matches undefeated, that''s all!"


    Just as everyone was currently immersed in shock, a very scornful voice sounded out.


    Xiao Ruyan''s brows knitted and she said unhappily, "Who are you, to be so arrogant? Merely 5000 over matches? If you have the capabilities, you try consecutively winning 5000 over matches too!"


    The one speaking was a young man. Behind him even followed a Divine King powerhouse. Presumably, his background was not ordinary too.


    That young man was merely Alchemy Venerable Realm, but had a look of unruliness, looking very disdainful toward Ye Yuan''s battle results on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation.


    The young man looked towards Xiao Ruyan. A hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes, but he said with a laugh, "You guys just came to Cloudmarsh City, right? Not recognizing this young master is also excusable! You remember it, this young master is called Gu Yue! Ji Qingyun''s record will be broken by me!"


    Gu Yue had an arrogant look with a kind of domineeringness that watched as masts and oars turned to dust while talking and laughing together.


    Xiao Ruyan was angered until she laughed because of his haughty manner. Seen before posturing, but never saw before posturing until this manner.


    The number one achievement in 100 thousand years, this guy actually dared to brag, saying that he was going to break it. It was fine if he was an Alchemy Emperor, but he was just an Alchemy Venerable.


    "Yo, so impressive? I wonder what number your esteemed self is ranked on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation currently?" Xiao Ruyan said with a laugh.


    Gu Yue''s face turned black and said, "You know perfectly well that this young master is only Alchemy Venerable Realm at present, you did it on purpose, right? But I''m not afraid to tell you either, this young master already has over 3400 matches of consecutive victories on the Alchemy Venerable Proclamation. Latest by next year, the Alchemy Venerable Proclamation''s first place will be mine!"


    Hearing Gu Yue blow his own trumpet, Xiao Ruyan was startled in her heart. Three thousand four hundred over matches of consecutive wins, this achievement was already rather impressive.


    But she still had a look of disdain on her face as she said, "Brag! Keep on bragging! Who doesn''t know how to boast?"


    Gu Yue''s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, "Who''s bragging to you? Randomly find a person to inquire about it, in this Cloudmarsh City, who doesn''t know me, Gu Yue! That Ji Qingyun, there will come a day where I''ll trample him underfoot!"


    Xiao Ruyan became enraged the moment she heard and said angrily, "This young lady doesn''t believe it! Come, come, come, this young lady is going to trample on you under her foot today! Don''t you have over 3400 matches of consecutive victories? I want to see just what kind of standard your more than 3400 matches of consecutive wins is!"


    Ren Dong also silently nodded by the side and said very earnestly, "En, en, count me in!"


    The moment Gu Yue heard, he laughed.


    "Alright, but �� not any random nobody can challenge me, Gu Yue! I have a condition, if you agree, this young master will accept your challenge!" Gu Yue smiled with evil-designs as he said.


    Xiao Ruyan''s face turned black, and she said, "What condition?"


    Gu Yue seized Xiao Ruyan up lecherously and said, "If you lose, you have to become Dao companions with me! How''s that? You got to know, in this Cloudmarsh City, the female martial artists that want to become Dao companions with me, Young Master Gu, line up over several streets!"


    Each word that Gu Yue said, Xiao Ruyan''s face became a degree more sullen.


    Honestly speaking, she was still really quite nervous.


    This guy dared to say that he won over 3400 matches consecutively, it was probably not wild talk. This sort of lies, randomly finding a person could expose it. There was no meaning at all.


    To be able to have this standard, he was likely really not too easy to push around.


    Seeing Xiao Ruyan hesitate, Gu Yue became even more smug as he said, "Why, scared? Like I said, be a little low-profile if you don''t have much strength. Not everyone is what you''re able to challenge. But if you want to be my, Young Master Gu''s Dao companion, I still welcome it very much, haha ��"


    Xiao Ruyan was indeed breathtakingly beautiful. The first time Gu Yue laid eyes on her, he found her to be to his liking very much. Just as he said, ordinary women, he really held in contempt.


    "Agree with him." Right then, Ye Yuan''s nonchalant voice sounded out.


    Xiao Ruyan jumped in fright. Using watery eyes to look at Ye Yuan, she said, "Master, how can you be like this?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You guys learned from me for so long. If you don''t even have this bit of strength, you can find a piece of tofu to go commit suicide already."Shortened saying that is a reference to Three Kingdoms story, where Cao Cao''s ships turned to ashes in a blaze.

 1030 Silent Offering

    "Master? Hahaha, you �� are you all mistaken? This brat is at the very most just 30 years old. You guys actually call him your master? Hahaha, what does he have to teach you guys?"


    Hearing Xiao Ruyan''s form of address towards Ye Yuan. Gu Yue laughed himself into convulsions.


    He laughed for a long time and suddenly discovered that no one went along with him, and could not help feeling very awkward.


    And he suddenly noticed that Ye Yuan''s party all used strange eyes to look at him. This involuntarily made him rather angry from embarrassment.


    "What are you looking at?! Could it be that what I said was wrong?" Gu Yue said irately.


    "En, what you said was very right. Alright, since there''s nothing on, the two of you have a proper match with him then," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    ...


    "Quickly look! Gu Yue is having a pill battle with someone again! I wonder what kind of opponent he ran into this time is like? Will they give him a little trouble or not?"


    "How is that possible? Alchemy Venerable Realm, it''s totally impossible for someone to be his match. Otherwise, how can he possibly win 3420 matches in a row?"


    "Makes sense! Gu Yue this brat is a little cocky, but his strength really is formidable! Continuing to develop with this trend, he might really be able to break Ji Qingyun''s record!"


    Gu Yue and Xiao Ruyan''s pill battle immediately drew a large group of people''s attention.


    Just as Gu Yue said, his fame in Cloudmarsh City was really huge. Having 3400 over matches of consecutive wins was also not bragging.


    Virtually every time he had a pill battle, it would be a full house.


    Gu Yue''s personality enjoyed this sort of ''a myriad of stars surrounding the moon treatment'' most of all.


    Xiao Ruyan was still somewhat not confident. After all, the opportunities she had to really compete with someone were too few.


    Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very incredible, she was uncertain whether she really learned the quintessence of Ye Yuan''s pill refinement or not.


    When at the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, Xiao Ruyan had once made a move to lecture a bunch of Alchemy Ancestors before. But at that time, it was just competing in fire control.


    While pill battles were a one-time comprehensive test towards alchemy skills. It was completely different from controlling fire.


    Furthermore, her opponent was also so powerful!


    Gu Yue saw through Xiao Ruyan''s uncertainty and said smilingly, "Beauty, don''t need to worry. Becoming Dao companions with me, I''ll impart to you the quintessence of alchemy skills."


    Xiao Ruyan''s face turned black, and she said in a solemn voice, "Don''t come out and make a spectacle of yourself with your middling skills! When this young lady beats you down, you''ll kneel and beg me to take you in as a disciple then!"


    The agreement between them, if Gu Yue won, Xiao Ruyan would become Dao companions with him. If Xiao Ruyan won, Gu Yue would kneel and call out master three times.


    Cloudmarsh City''s pill battles were hosted by the City Lord Manor. The pill battles between Alchemy Venerables would be presided over by initial-rank Alchemy Emperors.


    An Alchemy Emperor came onto the stage and slowly said, "According to the two of your agreement, the medicinal pill that your pill battle chose is the Emerald Sea Truewater Pill. This pill is a water-attribute high-grade Tier 8 medicinal pill. The one with the better grade wins. Begin now!"


    This Emerald Sea Truewater Pill''s refining difficulty was rather high. Ordinary Alchemy Venerable experts could not refine it at all. But to Gu Yue, this was not too difficult of a matter.


    With his strength, refining the Emerald Sea Truewater Pill, there was an 80% assurance to refine a high-grade one.


    If his luck was good, he could even refine a transcendent grade!


    While Xiao Ruyan was merely middle-rank Alchemy Venerable. Even if her strength was any more heaven-defying, being able to refine a complete medicinal pill was already pretty good.


    This pill battle was a competition that was impossible to lose to Gu Yue.


    He had the intention of showing off as well. After extracting and refining the medicinal embryo, Gu Yue separated his two palms. One hand brought out a fire dragon while the other hand brought out a fire tiger.


    A dragon and tiger began raising the temperature of the medicinal cauldron under his guidance.


    "Tiger Crouching, Dragon Coiling! This is an extremely profound fire-controlling art! Gu Yue actually used it effortlessly! His 3000 over matches of consecutive victories were indeed not by a fluke!"


    "You look at that lass, what fire-controlling art is that? Hahaha, does she think that she''s lighting a fire to cook a meal? That sort of inferior fire-controlling art, she''s sure that it can refine medicinal pills?"


    But the two people who entered a pill refining state already could not hear the comments of outsiders.


    One should not look at how Gu Yue was haughty. His alchemy skills were absolutely not undeserved reputation. Ordinary alchemy venerables were really not enough to look at.


    When Ao Qian saw Xiao Ruyan''s level of fire-controlling art, he also could not quite look on anymore and could not resist saying, "Milord, Ruyan that little lass looks like she''s still rather nervous. This kind of fire-controlling skill, how can it win the other party? Milord, although your Alchemy Dao is godlike, she''s not you after all!"


    But Ye Yuan said without a care, "Old Ao, no need to be anxious. Keep watching, and you''ll know. Ruyan this lass can still keep her cool at crucial moments."


    Ao Qian and the rest could not help being speechless. Already nervous until she could not control fire, she could still keep her cool?


    Which eye saw through that she was keeping her cool?


    Right at this time, waves of exclamations suddenly emitted from the crowd.


    "Quickly look at that lass''s medicinal cauldron! This �� How is this possible?"


    "Glittering and crystal clear! The medicinal cauldron actually became glittering and crystal clear!


    "This �� The fire-controlling art that this lass used, could it be that legendary Silent Offering? This was the fire-controlling art that Lord Qingyun Zi used when competing in alchemy back then!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    "Back then, Lord Qingyunzi relied on this extremely unsightly fire-controlling art and astounded countless people, making countless geniuses yield in admiration! Didn''t think that after a time interval of 300 years, this Silent Offering fire-controlling art actually appeared once more!"


    For the sake of impartiality, the medicinal cauldrons that both parties used were only the most ordinary Tier 8 medicinal cauldrons.


    The requirements that this kind of ordinary Tier 8 medicinal cauldrons had towards fire-controlling art was exceedingly high.


    A moment of carelessness would affect the whole medicinal pill''s refinement.


    While at this time, Xiao Ruyan''s medicinal cauldron became glittering and crystal clear, akin to a glazed tile. This was the sign of receiving extremely uniform heat distribution.


    Only when the fire-controlling art reached an exceedingly high level could one affect the medicinal cauldron to such an extent.


    But just earlier, everyone was still mocking Xiao Ruyan''s fire control like it was starting a fire to cook a meal.


    Such a scene was extremely similar to 300 years ago.


    Only when everyone came back to their senses did they recall the scene of Lord Qingyun Zi rampaging in all four directions in Cloudmarsh City 300 years ago.


    The fire-controlling art was precisely Silent Offering.


    Just as everyone had their breath taken away, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Still lacking some skill level. Just barely managed to smelt the medicinal cauldron to become glittering and crystal clear. Looks like the pill refinement this time is also just superior-grade. Ren Dong, when your senior apprentice sister comes back, tell her that Silent Offering still needs to practice an additional 50 thousand times."


    Ren Dong''s expression was calm as he said with a nod, "Yes, Master!"


    Ao Qian and the rest exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that this master was also a little too terrifying, right?


    You were the number one person in 100 thousand years, but others were not! This already aroused everybody''s cries of exclamation, but you made her practice an additional 50 thousand times when she comes back ��


    Was there teaching disciples like this?


    But in reality, Ye Yuan taught disciples just like this!


    In Ye Yuan''s view, refining pills never had shortcuts to talk about. Without millions upon millions of repetitive dreary training, it was completely impossible to truly attain a higher level.


    Don''t look at how Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong normally behaved in a cheeky and boisterous manner.


    The hardships that they suffered in these dozen over years, only Ye Yuan himself knew.

 1031 Kowtow and Acknowledge as Master Then

    Next, entering the pill refining process, the two people each had their nerves wound up tightly.


    The Emerald Sea Truewater Pill was not the average high-grade Tier 8 medicinal pill. It did not allow for them to have the slightest bit of carelessness.


    But Gu Yue''s refining method was the same as his personality, very high-profile. While Xiao Ruyan''s refinement was methodically and unhurried.


    Of course, this did not mean that Gu Yue was flashy without substance.


    In truth, his alchemy skills were indeed very consummate. His Six Unity Heavenly Desolation Art was displayed flawlessly and actually already reached the realm of major accomplishment!


    In contrast, Xiao Ruyan''s was a notch weaker in technique again. What she used was the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art.


    Not all alchemists could train refinement techniques to the level of the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art.


    To Alchemy Venerables, being able to cultivate the Six Unity Heavenly Desolation Art was already very impressive.


    As for Xiao Ruyan, she still had not trained in the Six Unity Heavenly Desolation Art at present.


    "Sigh, fire-controlling technique is just an aspect of refining pills. It was startling just now, but this match, it''s probably still Gu Yue who wins."


    "Yeah. This boy''s strength is too formidable! At a young age, he''s able to cultivate the Six Unity Heavenly Desolation Art to the realm of major accomplishment. In the same realm, how many people are his match?"


    "That girl''s age is much younger than his. But her strength is indeed formidable too. It''s just a pity that who she ran into was Gu Yue."


    The surrounding alchemists were all people with rich experiences. They could practically discern the difference in superiority with one glance.


    The sturdiness of Gu Yue''s foundation made many of the older generations all sweat profusely with embarrassment.


    It was true that Xiao Ruyan was formidable, but she was still a little young in the end.


    Ao Qian opened his mouth and was just about to say something. But seeing Ye Yuan''s relaxed expression, the words that reached the tip of his tongue was forced back down.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "You guys don''t need to worry. This has only just begun! It doesn''t mean that the refining technique being high-level, the medicinal pills refined will definitely be good."


    Ao Qian was left speechless. He knew that Ye Yuan would say it like that.


    But along with the progress of the refinement, Xiao Ruyan actually gradually entered an optimal state. The movements of her hands became faster and faster, and increasingly natural and smooth.


    The many alchemists observing the battle by the side actually became rather infatuated from watching.


    "Hiss �� Legendary Realm! This lass actually cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm!" someone cried out in shock among the crowd.


    The gaze of that Alchemy Emperor expert presiding over the pill battle also became intent. He finally detected Xiao Ruyan''s transformation.


    Regardless of what level of refinement technique, wanting to cultivate to the great circle of perfection was easy. But wanting to cultivate to the Legendary Realm was even harder than ascending to the heavens!


    Furthermore, along with the increase in cultivation realm, after people had the ability to cultivate high-level refinement techniques, there would also not be anyone who would expend huge amounts of energy to go cultivate the Legendary Realm that could not be touched at all.


    However, Xiao Ruyan did it!


    Ao Qian finally heaved a sigh in relief when he saw Xiao Ruyan''s state. But his gaze looked towards Ye Yuan with endless shock.


    The master was monstrous, the disciples taught were actually so freakish too!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head again and said to Ren Dong, "Your Senior Apprentice Sister is too slow in entering the state! How many times have I told you guys, this Five Elements Heavenly Word Art, the most important is to balance the powers of the Five Elements. She actually used such a long time before finding the feeling! Tell her when she comes back, the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art also needs to train an additional 50 thousand times!"


    Ao Qian nearly vomited out a mouthful of old blood. This master''s requirements �� were also too stringent, right?


    Although he did not know alchemy, he still knew about the Legendary Realm.


    To be able to cultivate the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm was already an unthinkable thing. But Ye Yuan actually still complained about her entering the state too slowly ��


    "Yes, Master!" Ren Dong was clearly already accustomed to this and did not feel that there was anything inappropriate.


    Time slowly trickled by. The two people''s refinement also gradually entered a white-hot stage.


    "Emerald Sea Truewater Pill, condense!" Gu Yue gave a loud cry. The medicinal pill finally formed.


    Immediately after, Xiao Ruyan also cried out lightly, "Condense!"


    Right on the heels, the two people virtually formed the pill at the same time!


    "Beauty, how is it? Ready to be my women yet?" Gu Yue said with a smug smile.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Finishing refining, Xiao Ruyan still felt pretty good. But hearing Gu Yue''s words, her face turned cold again, and she said, "You''d better think about how to be this young lady''s disciple!"


    "Heh heh, in Alchemy Venerable this realm, absolutely nobody is my match! Moreover, you''re even just a middle-rank Alchemy Venerable! Resign yourself to your fate!" Gu Yue said with a confident look.


    While at this time, the surrounding people all had looks of anticipation. They all wanted to take a look at just who won this pill battle.


    Although Gu Yue was strong, Xiao Ruyan had reached the Legendary Realm!


    "Senior, open the furnace and examine the pill then!" Gu Yue said with a wide grin.


    The Alchemy Emperor nodded his head, but took no notice of him. He went to Xiao Ruyan''s side rather impatiently.


    "Open!"


    The alchemy emperor pointed a finger. A medicinal pill flew out and landed in the container.


    The Alchemy Emperor''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Indeed a superior-grade Emerald Sea Truewater Pill! A pity, a pity, if the medicinal cauldron was swapped for something a little better, it would definitely be a transcendent-grade medicinal pill!"


    The Alchemy Emperor''s words made Gu Yue''s entire body tremble. The originally smug expression instantly turned stiff on his face.


    Superior-grade medicinal pill? This �� How was this possible?


    His gaze involuntarily looked at his own medicinal cauldron and instantly became uncertain.


    After that Alchemy Emperor sighed, he slowly came to Gu Yue''s side and retrieved the medicinal pill as he had done.


    "High-grade Emerald Sea Truewater Pill! Looks pretty good, just a little bit more to reach superior-grade. A shame, it''s still lacking some level of skill! This match, Xiao Ruyan wins!" the Alchemy Emperor said sonorously.


    Gu Yue''s face was ashen pale. Until now, he still did not dare to believe that this was real.


    "Impossible! This is impossible! How can she possibly refine a superior-grade Emerald Sea Truewater Pill?"


    The Alchemy Emperor knew Gu Yue and knew that this battle''s influence on him was probably tremendous. He sighed at once and said, "This lassie cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm and refined a superior-grade medicinal pill. There are not many strange aspects. This match, you didn''t lose unjustly."


    "L-Legendary Realm?"


    Gu Yue looked at Xiao Ruyan in disbelief. He could not tell no matter how he looked, how such a frail girl cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm.


    At this time, Xiao Ruyan finally let out a sigh in relief.


    Gu Yue this fellow was arrogant, but his capabilities were really considerable. He actually almost refined a superior-grade medicinal pill.


    But her gaze secretly sneaked a peek at Ye Yuan. She knew that her performance, Master was probably very unsatisfied.


    She guessed correctly. It was just that at this time, she could not care about the punishment anymore either, but said to Gu Yue with a wide grin on her face, "How is it, Young Master Gu, kowtow and acknowledge as master then?"


    Gu Yue froze. Only then did he recall the two people''s agreement.


    This match, he was completely defeated!


    According to the agreement, he had to kowtow to Xiao Ruyan and acknowledge her as his master in public!


    Gu Yue revealed a look of struggle. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "This match, I''m willing to admit defeat! But to acknowledge you as my master, wait until after I have a match with him!"


    Everyone followed his gaze and looked over, and discovered that the person he was pointing at was precisely Ren Dong!

 1032 Sticking On?

    Gu Yue''s face no longer had that look of arrogance from before. He used an entire half day''s time before barely managing to crawl out from the shadow of failure.


    The so-called the higher you climb, the harder you fall, using it to describe Gu Yue was perfect.


    But Gu Yue was indeed a talent as well. After half a day, he finally managed to recollect his mind and threw it into the face-off with Ren Dong.


    His goal was very simple: from where he fell down, from where he would get up!


    He wanted to regain confidence from Ren Dong. Otherwise, after today''s pill battles, he, a genius alchemist who formerly dazzled Cloudmarsh City, would probably fade into the crowd from here on.


    "Just who the hell is that little girl? Gu Yue''s 3420 consecutive victories were actually ended just like that?"


    "Yeah. Thinking about it, it''s just like having a dream. After Lord Qingyun Zi, Gu Yue is the first genius alchemist to be able to win so many matches in a row. I virtually already thought that he''d definitely be able to reach Lord Qingyun Zi''s height in the future!"


    "Speaking of which, Silent Offering was Lord Qingyun Zi''s self-created fire-controlling ultimate skill. Could it be that this girlie actually has connections to Lord Qingyun Zi?"


    "This �� is impossible, right? I''ve never heard of Lord Qingyun Zi having a successor before!"


    Gu Yue winning over 3400 matches in a row, no one would doubt his strength. For Xiao Ruyan to be able to beat Gu Yue, it could only indicate that her strength was even greater.


    But at this time, everyone started to become interested in Ren Dong''s strength.Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Busybodies already knew that Ren Dong was Xiao Ruyan''s junior apprentice brother. Then whether or not Gu Yue would fall down twice in the same place, this was very worth looking forward to.


    The pill battle began. This time, Gu Yue unleashed all of his skills, hoping to display his strength to the limits.


    But everyone''s gaze was focused on Ren Dong.


    "Silent Offering again!"


    Not long after, cries of exclamations sounded out everywhere again.


    "Legendary Realm! It''s the Legendary Realm again!"


    "My God, just what kind of person can teach such a terrifying senior sister and junior brother?"


    The pill refinement ended. The Alchemy Emperor examined the pill once more.


    "Gu Yue, high-grade medicinal pill, Ren Dong, superior-grade medicinal pill! Ren Dong wins!"


    Hearing this verdict, Gu Yue directly flopped weakly onto the ground, as if he was drained completely of his strength, battered out of his senses.


    Although he barely managed to calm his state of mind, the shadow of the last defeat was still hovering in his heart.


    Under such circumstances, it was already very not easy for him to still be able to refine a high-grade medicinal pill. It was just that the opponent he encountered was Ren Dong.


    The present Ren Dong was already completely different from the condescending Ren Dong back then.


    Through these dozen over years of tempering, he already grew into a true grandmaster of an era. At present, his alchemy Dao strength was not the slightest bit inferior to Xiao Ruyan''s.


    With over 3400 matches and he had yet to taste defeat. This time, he was defeated in two matches straight. This blow to him was too great.


    "Heh heh, surpassing Lord Qingyun Zi, you''re still 10 thousand years too early! Your over 3400 over matches of consecutive wins doesn''t have much quality at all! It''s just that you never encountered a true opponent, that''s all! While Lord Qingyun Zi back then, practically challenged the entire Divine Realm''s genius alchemists with his strength alone! While you, how big of a commotion did you cause? Therefore �� you have got to know how to hold someone in awe!" Xiao Ruyan said nonchalantly.


    It was like Gu Yue lost his soul, completely unable to accept this fact at all.


    When a person fell from the summit, this sort of tremendous drop was very easy to make him crumble. The current Gu Yue was clearly like that.


    These few years, he was already extolled to the skies by the entire Cloudmarsh City, saying that he was going to surpass Qingyun Zi''s fame.


    But today, he was defeated twice in a row under Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong''s hands, immediately crushing his powerful confidence.


    When Xiao Ruyan saw Gu Yue''s appearance, she also could not bother to haggle over it with him anymore. Honestly speaking, she did not wish to take such a guy in as a disciple.


    "Forget it, this young lady is magnanimous and won''t fuss about your offense of affront. Junior Apprentice Brother, let''s go," Xiao Ruyan said.


    Ren Dong nodded his head and walked down the stage together with Xiao Ruyan.


    "Wait a minute!"


    The two people did not walk out far when they heard Gu Yue shouting from behind.


    Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong turned their heads around and were just about to speak, but Gu Yue had a solemn look as he said, "I, Gu Yue, am a man of my words! Since I lost to you, I''ll admit my loss!"


    Slam!


    Gu Yue immediately gave a loud kowtow and shouted, "Master!"


    Slam!


    "Master!"


    Slam!


    "Master!"


    Gu Yue directly kowtowed three times and called master thrice. It was not perfunctory at all.


    Him being so unabashed made Xiao Ruyan rather surprised instead. In this instant, her impression of Gu Yue had a slight change.


    Presumably, this guy was an ignorant youth whose confidence swelled to the extreme, unaware of the logic of, there was always someone better and a heaven beyond heaven.


    But honestly speaking, this guy''s alchemy Dao strength was still rather formidable.


    Although his foundation was not as solid as the two of them, it was also hard to come by among young people.


    Xiao Ruyan waved her hand when she saw the situation and said, "Alright, alright, this matter ends here. It''s just losing two matches of pill battles, no big deal. Knowing humiliation and striving harder afterward, that is how a real man ought to be."


    Xiao Ruyan had an old teacher appearance, and actually really took herself to be his master, and started lecturing Gu Yue.


    She did not expect Gu Yue to say with a stern countenance, "I, Gu Yue, am true to my words! These two matches, I''m wholehearted convinced by my loss! From now onwards, I, Gu Yue, will be Miss Ruyan''s disciple! Master is high above, please accept a bow from this disciple!"


    As he said, he gave another kowtow, and it was considered the ceremony of acknowledging a master.


    With this, it was Xiao Ruyan who was caught rather by surprise instead. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No way, no way, I don''t have the qualifications to accept disciples! This young lady hasn''t even graduated from apprenticeship myself!"


    But Gu Yue scrambled to his feet and said, "The two of us had an agreement beforehand, how can you renege on your word? There are so many people in the same profession bearing witness today, how can I, Gu Yue, be someone who gets fat on eating his words? No matter what, I''m already your disciple! Wherever you go, I''ll follow!"


    Hearing that, Xiao Ruyan''s face turned black. This guy was actually like a dog-skin plaster, sticking onto her?


    Not far again, when Ao Qian saw this scene, he could not help finding it funny as he said, "This brat has some good judgment. Him wanting to acknowledge Miss Xiao as his master is probably still aiming for milord! To be able to walk out from the shadow of defeat so quickly, he''s a promising talent too."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "These two matches might be a new beginning for him. If he really completed 5000 matches of consecutive victories, the path in the future will be even more arduous instead. When he breaks through to Alchemy Emperor Realm, he''d probably also just be mediocre. The strength of Alchemy Emperor powerhouses, he likely still thought too simply in the past."


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s words, Ao Qian and the rest all deeply felt that way too.


    Ye Yuan could crush 5000 over Alchemy Emperors, did not mean that others could also crush 5000 over Alchemy Emperors.


    No matter what, Alchemy Emperors were the current Divine Realm alchemists'' apex existences. Their strength brooked no underestimation.


    "Your Excellency, what to do about this matter? How about, I go and beat that brat down, in case he sticks onto?" Ao Qian said.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let him be. I want to see just how much sincerity he has."

 1033 Play Another Round

    Receiving Ye Yuan''s look, Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong did not care about Gu Yue either. They directly followed Ye Yuan and prepared to leave.


    Gu Yue was really like a sticky candy, following Xiao Ruyan at every step.


    The Divine King expert who was constantly following Gu Yue followed behind Gu Yue.


    "Wang Qian, you return to the lodging and wait for me first. Before I find you, don''t come over and look for me anymore," Gu Yue instructed.


    Wang Qian''s expression stiffened, and he said with difficulty, "Young Master, this �� Could it be that you really want to acknowledge that little girl as your master? In my view, even though that girl''s strength is very strong, it''s still just slightly stronger compared to Young Master. She''s still not qualified enough to be your master!"


    Gu Yue shook his head and said, "You don''t understand! The disparity between me and her right now isn''t large. But along with the passage of time, the disparity between me and her will become greater and greater! By the time we both reach peak Alchemy Emperor Realm, this young master will probably not even be able to see her back view anymore."


    Wang Qian looked at his young master oddly. Gu Yue''s personality, he was all too clear. This sort of words that diminished his own prestige, he would never say it.


    Looks like today, he was really utterly convinced by his loss.


    "But Young Master, if Family Head knows of this matter ��" Wang Qian said hesitantly.


    Gu Yue waved his hand and said, "You don''t say, I don''t say, how will he know?"


    Wang Qian knew Young Master''s temperament. Helpless, he could only leave by himself.


    Ye Yuan''s party divided the crowd and were just about to leave, but had their path blocked by a group of people.


    The person at the front looked around 30 plus years old, with a highly spirited appearance. The most conspicuous was the high-rank Alchemy Emperor badge on his chest.


    The Divine Realm had many Alchemy Emperors. But people who were able to reach high-rank alchemy emperor were scanty few.


    Between initial-rank Alchemy Emperor and high-rank Alchemy Emperor was an insurmountable chasm.


    High-rank Alchemy Emperor, was the highest rank realm among the alchemist realms that the Alchemist Association divided!


    Which was also to say that within the scope that the Alchemist Association recognized, high-rank Alchemy Emperor was the pinnacle of alchemists.


    Of course, it was not that there was no disparity between high-rank Alchemy Emperors and high-rank Alchemy Emperors.


    Among alchemists, there was a form of address towards an extremely small group of people, that was peak Alchemy Emperor.


    This peak Alchemy Emperor was somewhat similar to the Void Mystic Realm in essence energy cultivation realms.


    Only by being publicly recognized by everyone as a peak Alchemy Emperor, was it truly standing at the apex of the Divine Realm''s alchemists.


    And only peak Alchemy Emperors, would be addressed respectfully as ''Zi.''


    This group of people was the bunch of people who truly guided the direction of the Divine Realm''s alchemy world.


    Of course, even so, this high-rank Alchemy Emperor in front was an exceedingly rare existence too.


    "Didn''t think that our former peerless genius, Qingyun Zi, actually fell to such a plight today. Tsk tsk, initial-rank Alchemy Emperor, is it? The Qingyun Zi who slaughtered in all directions in Cloudmarsh City back then actually returned to the starting point now. Hahaha ��"


    That person laughed wildly, his laughter carrying a ton of satisfaction. Seeing Ye Yuan encounter a calamity at present, he seemed to be very liberated.


    But his words caused a mighty uproar among the crowd.


    "Qingyun Zi! Lord Zuo Qing said that he was Lord Qingyun Zi just now? This �� There''s no mistake, right?"


    "What?! That young man is Lord Qingyun Zi? How is this possible?"


    "Didn''t Lord Qingyun Zi perish long ago? Could it be that who Lord Zuo Qing is talking about is another Qingyun Zi?"


    "Are you a pig? In this world, apart from Ji Qingyun, who else dares to proclaim to be Qingyun Zi?"


    ...


    Everyone''s gaze all looked over towards Ye Yuan, being astounded by this unexpected news.


    Ji Qingyun not dying, this news, was seriously too astonishing. Especially in Cloudmarsh City this place.


    In this city, Ji Qingyun was a godlike existence!


    His achievement on the Alchemy Emperor Proclamation was a myth-like record. For 100 thousand years, he was the one-and-only legendary figure!


    The alchemists mucking around in Cloudmarsh City, regardless of how strong their strength was, their goal was only one: Ji Qingyun!


    Back then when Qingyun Zi fell, the entire Cloudmarsh City stunned.


    There were many alchemists who immediately formed organizations to mourn for Ji Qingyun.


    But now, Ji Qingyun actually came back to life!


    How could this news not shock them?


    Zuo Qing said with a roaring laugh, "That''s right, this young man called Ye Yuan at the moment is precisely your idol, Ji Qingyun! At present, he''s merely just a stray dog!"


    The expressions of Ao Qian and the rest all changed and they wanted to make a move to deal with Zuo Qing.


    This guy actually insulted people with words!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and stopped them from taking action, and he said nonchalantly, "A good dog doesn''t block the path, get lost!"


    "Yo, this imposing momentum really doesn''t lose out to back then! It''s just a shame that your strength is far too lacking!" Zuo Qing did not get angry either and just ridiculed.


    Ye Yuan darted him a glance and said indifferently, "Looks like some people forgot about the matter of losing until buck-naked back then."


    Ye Yuan naturally recognized this Zuo Qing in front of him. Among the people who challenged him back then, this Zuo Qing was also one whose strength was very formidable.


    It was just that this guy''s utilitarian heart was too strong and wanted to step on his reputation to climb up.


    Other than things related to pill battles, they even added another clause. The one who loses would take off all of their clothes and run for three days and nights in Cloudmarsh City.

    The result was naturally that Zuo Qing was crushed until he was beaten blue and black.


    This matter was treated as a conversation topic 300 years ago and was a joke for a very long period of time.


    300 years later, this Zuo Qing actually became Cloudmarsh City''s deputy city lord with a shake of his body.


    With the white tiger battle, the news of Ji Qingyun returning was already not some secret among the Divine Realm''s upper echelons.


    With Zuo Qing''s status, knowing about Ye Yuan was also not some unexpected thing.


    Upon hearing Ye Yuan mention this incident, Zuo Qing''s face immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Over 300 years had passed, Cloudmarsh City''s alchemists had long changed batch after batch already. But there were still some who knew about the matter back then.


    "Humph! A stray dog actually dares to be so cocky too! Publicly appearing in Cloudmarsh City, aren''t you afraid of Ji Canglan coming to kill you?" Zuo Qing said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need for you to worry about that. You''d best worry about the clothes on you."


    Zuo Qing could not help being stifled by this. Ye Yuan just kept using this matter to irk him. He could not do anything at all.


    "You''re indeed still as revolting as back then! However �� since our beloved Lord Qingyun Zi came back, are you interested in playing another round? You''re being addressed respectfully as Qingyun Zi. Even if you''re only initial-rank Alchemy Emperor at the moment, your strength probably can''t be underestimated either, right? You look, this Cloudmarsh City''s countless alchemists all view you as their idol. Could it be that you have no intention of broadening their horizons?" Zuo Qing suddenly switched faces and said mockingly.


    Over 300 years had passed. Zuo Qing''s strength could not be mentioned in the same breath long ago, while Ye Yuan only had initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength at present. He was betting on that Ye Yuan did not dare to compete with him.


    When he knew that Ye Yuan showed up in Cloudmarsh City, his first reaction was to come over and humiliate him ruthlessly.


    Zuo Qing''s suggestion was not held in contempt by the surrounding audience. On the contrary, each and every one of them all revealed a look of anticipation.


    If it were others, they would definitely feel that Zuo Qing was bullying the weak as the strong. But Ye Yuan was different. Ye Yuan was the god in their hearts and was undefeatable.


    Even if Zuo Qing was a high-rank Alchemy Emperor, it was impossible for Lord Qingyun Zi to lose to him either!

 1034 Han Qing Zi

    Except, this was the way they saw it.


    Reaching Zuo Qing''s boundary, one would know just how great the gap between initial-rank Alchemy Emperor and high-rank Alchemy Emperor was.


    He spent three hundred years before breaking through from initial-rank Alchemy Emperor to high-rank Alchemy Emperor. While at present, Ji Qingyun had merely just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm.


    Which was equivalent to saying that Ye Yuan was marching on the spot for these 300 years.


    Zuo Qing trained bitterly for 300 years. If he could not even beat the Ji Qingyun who was marching on the spot, he should find a piece of tofu to go commit suicide already.


    Him saying these words was undoubtedly wanting to extol Ye Yuan high up to the skies, then in front of everybody, to slay a god!


    As long as he could defeat Ji Qingyun, he would obtain innumerable fame and status. Of course, there was still limitless resources.


    Qingyun Zi was high up on the summit. His status was God knows how many times higher compared to when he just entered Alchemy Emperor Realm back then!


    Slaughtering in all directions in Cloudmarsh City was merely minor squabbles.


    But 300 years later, Qingyun Zi was a true apex figure.


    Dragging Ji Qingyun down at this time, the implications were far greater compared to back then.


    Although somewhat winning through unorthodox means, who asked Ji Qingyun to dare appear in Cloudmarsh City in a swaggering manner?


    Ye Yuan smiled, smiled until Zuo Qing felt rather apprehensive.


    To Zuo Qing, Ji Qingyun was the nightmare that he could never wipe away for life.


    After the battle back then, Ji Qingyun had a meteoric rise and climbed directly to a high position, and only used a very short time to ascend to the pinnacle of the Divine Realm''s alchemy world.


    While he, although it was not to the extent of fading into the crowd, so many years had passed, but he was still unable to break through to the boundary of peak Alchemy Emperor.


    This step was far too difficult!


    "It''s been 300 years. You, this fellow, are really sludge that can''t hold a wall up! You''re sure that you want to have a pill battle with me?" Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said with a faint smile.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s calm and collected appeared, Zuo Qing''s heart could not refrain from pounding.


    Qingyun Zi''s fame was seriously too overwhelming. Furthermore, his awe-inspiring reputation was gotten from match after match of crushing others.


    Except, the moment he thought about Ye Yuan''s current realm, Zuo Qing set his mind at ease considerably again.


    This guy was definitely pretending to be mysterious!


    "Look at what you''re saying, to be able to obtain Lord Qingyun Zi''s guidance, this Zuo is honored in every possible way!" Zuo Qing said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright then, as you wish! Honestly speaking, coming to Cloudmarsh City, I really still somewhat reminisce the feeling back then!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan and Zuo Qing''s conversation, Gu Yue wished to find a piece of rock to commit suicide!


    He actually postured in front of Lord Qingyun Zi! He really postured in front of Lord Qingyun Zi!


    Who lent him the gall to dare posture in front of Lord Qingyun Zi?


    Gu Yue''s confidence swelled at one point and thought that he really could surpass Qingyun Zi.


    But he could not even beat Lord Qingyun Zi''s disciples ��


    "Master, he �� he''s really Lord Qingyun Zi?" Gu Yue pulled Xiao Ruyan and thickened his skin to ask.


    Xiao Ruyan flung him off and said smilingly, "Otherwise, what do you think?"


    Slap! Slap!


    Gu Yue viciously gave himself two tight slaps and said, "Ask you to have eyes but fail to see! Ask you to be condescending! Master, you must take me in as a disciple! I, Gu Yue, must acknowledge you as my master!"


    "This young lady can''t make the call. I myself haven''t even graduated from apprenticeship yet!" Xiao Ruyan said.


    ...


    "Hahaha! I knew that Lord Qingyun Zi wouldn''t die that easily!"


    "Lord Qingyun Zi''s demise was a major loss to the Divine Realm''s alchemy world. Back then, I was even lamentful about this for a long time! Didn''t think that he actually seized possession and revived!"


    "Lord Qingyun Zi is my life-long goal! Back then, when I heard the news of his demise, I really almost broke down! I just can''t imagine that he really didn''t die!"


    Quite a number of alchemists, especially the young alchemists, were all like they were injected with stimulants.


    When they knew that Ye Yuan was Ji Qingyun, they were really incredibly agitated.


    In the alchemy world, Ye Yuan was an absolute paradigm-like figure. He was different from those veteran peak alchemy emperors. When he advanced to peak Alchemy Emperor, he was too young.


    Furthermore, being young and rash back then, slaughtering in all directions in Cloudmarsh City and becoming the number one person in 100 thousand years, this made him become countless genius alchemists'' idol.


    This emotional turmoil of losing and recovering their idol again was what ordinary people could not imagine.


    Seeing the appearance of emotions running high everywhere, Ao Qian and co. were endlessly amazed too.


    They were all the older generation figures already. The things that they had experienced were far, too many. But they had never seen before that someone''s sway in the Divine Realm could be so great!


    Even Ao Qian, this old monster who lived for 40 thousand years, he felt that he had broadened his horizons today too.


    As for Zuo Qing, he sneered coldly in his heart.


    When I trample your idol under my foot, I really want to see what kind of expressions you all have!


    The current Ye Yuan was already not the Ji Qingyun back then!


    Thinking in his heart, Zuo Qing opened his mouth again and said, "Lord Qingyun Zi, why not play the little game back then one more time?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately could not help laughing in spite of himself as he said, "Your present identity is extraordinary. Doing this sort of disgraceful thing again isn''t too good, right?"


    "Huhu, just having some fun." Zuo Qing said like he had everything planned out.


    "Alright then, since you''re willing to lose face yourself, that''s up to you too. However, the two of us competing in alchemy, who will be the judge?" Ye Yuan refrained from commenting.


    Zuo Qing froze. He did not think about this.


    With the two of their identities, the average person really could not become a judge.


    "I wonder if this old man has the qualifications to be the judge?"Right then, a hoarse and aged voice suddenly sounded out from among the crowd.


    Everyone looked over trying to find the owner of the voice. They saw an old man whose hair and beard were all white appear in the crowd, with a sage-like appearance.


    Zuo Qing''s gaze turned serious as he said in surprise, "Turns out that it''s Lord Han Qing Zi. O-Of course you have this qualification!"


    Han Qing Zi was an itinerant alchemist without any sect. But he, this person, was famous for being impartial. His prestige in the alchemy world was extremely high.


    It was naturally the most suitable for him to be the judge.


    But when Ye Yuan saw Han Qing Zi, he could not help laughing as he said, "You, this old fellow who''s halfway into the earth, actually came to join in the fun too!"


    Han Qing Zi slowly got on the stage and said smilingly, "The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, this kind of grand age, which alchemist wouldn''t be moved? It''s just that this old man never thought that you actually came back!" Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Came back, some things have to be done! This kind of small squabble, I didn''t think that you''re also willing to join in. Not afraid of demeaning your status either?"


    Han Qing Zi burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "You look at the expressions of everyone below the stage, do you still feel that it''s a minor spat? Furthermore, not meeting for so many years, this old man is also very curious whether your alchemy Dao cultivation really declined or not."


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine then. Thinking it over, only you''re the most suited too. Begin then."


    Han Qing Zi and Ye Yuan had a good talk but hung Cloudmarsh City''s deputy city lord out to dry at one side. This made Zuo Qing gloomy to the extreme.


    But he also knew that with how Han Qing Zi was chatting happily with Ye Yuan, regarding passing judgment this sort of thing, he absolutely would not be partial to one side.

 1035 Let Him Run Firs

    At the end, the pill formula that Han Qing Zi picked for the two people was the Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill.


    The Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill was a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. The difficulty level was intermediate. To high-rank Alchemy Emperors, it was also not that easy to be able to refine.


    Of course, with Zuo Qing''s strength, refining it should not be too big of a problem. It was just the question of grade.


    Toward this, Ye Yuan had a look of indifference.


    Zuo Qing sneered coldly in his heart: "Pretentious! I''ll see until when you can pretend like that!"


    "Begin then!" Han Qing said coolly.


    Zuo Qing already mustered up enough power. Under Han Qing Zi''s command, his palm shook and directly shattered the spirit medicines on the table to dust.


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo!


    The moment Zuo Qing made his move, his technique astounded everyone.


    Zuo Qing was also considered an example of striving harder after knowing humiliation. After being defeated by Ye Yuan, he did not fall into low spirits. He cultivated with all his might instead. Within a short 300 years time, he reached the boundary of high-rank Alchemy Emperor.


    Within 300 years from initial-rank Alchemy Emperor to high-rank Alchemy Emperor, this was a very impressive achievement.


    Not everyone could be as freakish as Ye Yuan, to be able to accomplish to this extent within a short several dozen years.


    In truth, when Ye Yuan left Cloudmarsh City, he was already a middle-rank Alchemy Emperor.


    Those few years, Ye Yuan''s pill battle intensity was tremendous. But he also learned from others'' strong points and was also a massive improvement to his alchemy Dao strength.


    Therefore, that was why Zuo Qing''s achievements would be overshadowed when placed in front of Ye Yuan.


    When Zuo Qing was still middle-rank Alchemy Emperor, Ye Yuan was already on equal footing with those apex powerhouses in the Divine Realm.


    As Cloudmarsh City''s deputy city lord, Zuo Qing normally would not easily take action either.


    Making a move here today displayed his profound skills.


    Except, Ye Yuan did something that astounded people even more. He walked right out of the array formation and started chatting with Han Qing Zi.


    Han Qing Zi was stupefied and immediately laughed in spite of himself as he said, "You brat, this is also looking down on Zuo Qing too much, right? No matter what, he''s also Cloudmarsh City''s deputy city lord now. His strength can''t be underestimated!"


    Ye Yuan took a look at Zuo Qing and said with a faint smile, "Let him do it first. Otherwise, he''ll say that I bully him later."


    Zuo Qing was originally fully immersed in the process of shattering the medicines and condensing the embryo. But his eyes glimpsed toward Ye Yuan''s action, and he nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Fortunately, his strength indeed stood above others and controlled those spirit medicines.


    "This damn fellow, definitely infuriating me on purpose! Ignore him, as long as I refine the medicinal pill, this guy will lose for sure!" Zuo Qing cursed inwardly.


    Actually, Ye Yuan was really not angering him. In Ye Yuan''s view, once alchemists enter the pill refining state, they would devote their heart and soul into it. How could they still have the thought to care about others?


    But Zuo Qing just took notice of him!


    First of all, on focus, Zuo Qing lost to Ye Yuan by more than a level.


    Ye Yuan just purely felt that this sort of pill battle had no difficulty to speak of to him at all.


    Refining high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills was nothing difficult for him.


    Refining the Nine Truth Pill the last time, Ye Yuan was just pursuing the strongest medicinal effect, that was why he would bring out his full strength.


    However, the moment Zuo Qing made his move just now, he already lost interest in the pill battle.


    Too weak!


    Ye Yuan''s shattering medicine and condensing medicinal embryo, and Zuo Qing''s shattering medicine and condensing medicinal embryo, the two were different.


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance. Zuo Qing''s shattering medicine and condensing the embryo was completely unable to fully unleash the medicinal effects of the spirit medicines. His level of skill was still far too lacking.


    Han Qing Zi shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "In that case, he doesn''t have any hope at all?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not even a shred."


    Han Qing Zi sighed slightly and said, "Looks like these 20 years, not only did your alchemy Dao strength not decline, it grew with each passing day instead!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Aren''t you the same too?"


    Han Qing Zi shook his head and said, "That''s different! This lifetime, you probably put most of your effort on the Martial Path, right? But hearing the news of your demise back then, this old man was still really stunned for a long time."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It''s still Elder Brother, you, who are concerned about me! Some old fellows were probably thrilled until they skipped around when they heard the news of my demise, right? Uh �� including that guy over there."


    Han Qing Zi said with a smile, "This old man doesn''t have any conflicts of interest with you either. I naturally won''t look forward to you dying. If you can really seek out the path of Deity Realm, it might even let us, these old fellows, receive endless benefits!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "How can the path of Deity Realm be so easy? For 100 thousand years, how many astonishing talented people could not do it, let alone me?"


    Han Qing Zi scolded laughingly, "You punk, being insincere with your words!"


    The two people exchanged a glance, and both started laughing.


    These two people had a lively conversation and muddled the people below the stage silly.


    It was true that Lord Qingyun Zi was their idol. But slighting Lord Zuo Qing like this was also looking down on people too much, right?


    After all, Lord Qingyun Zi was only an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor currently!


    Could it be that Lord Qingyun Zi seizing possession and reviving, his personality also suffered influence?


    No one would have thought that this chat would be an entire day''s time.


    Han Qing Zi and Ye Yuan, the two people conversed very engrossedly. At times, they laughed heartily. Sometimes, their brows knitted despondently, as if completely forgotten about the pill battle.


    Refining high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills, at least needed three day''s time to be able to form the pill too.


    But Ye Yuan wasted a day just like that. How could he still compete?"


    All the way until the second day noon, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said, "Elder Brother, let''s catch up later. I''ll send this guy packing first."


    Han Qing Zi nodded his head and said smilingly, "You got to pay close attention. With this waste, it''s a day and a half''s time."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Relax, definitely coming out before this guy."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan directly entered the array formation.


    But Han Qing Zi''s expression turned solemn. Slow by a day and a half, and still could come out before Zuo Qing?


    This point, even he himself could not do it either!


    Could it be that reviving for these 20 years, Ji Qingyun''s alchemy Dao strength improvement was actually so great?


    Ye Yuan came before the table, and his palm force likewise shook, directly shattering those Tier 9 spirit medicines to dust.


    Similarly shattering medicines and condensing embryo, Ye Yuan''s move was far more beautiful compared to him!


    Seeing this scene, Han Qing Zi''s expression became a little more solemn.


    Reaching his level, who was better or lousier, was clear at a glance. Just this move, Ye Yuan''s strength was more than plenty to shake Zuo Qing off more than 10 streets behind!


    "This brat''s control of essence energy seems to have become more exquisite! Really a freak!" Han Qing Zi muttered to himself.


    The medicinal embryo''s refinement done, Ye Yuan urged with one hand, and the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame started heating up the medicinal cauldron.


    His technique was virtually identical with Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong''s previously, like starting a fire to cook a meal.


    But the moment he made his move, it was totally different from the two disciples.


    "Really seeing ghosts! Clearly starting a fire to cook a meal, how can Lord Qingyun Zi''s Silent Offering make people feast their eyes upon it like so?"


    "Lord Qingyun Zi is Lord Qingyun Zi! Before reincarnating, how many years has it been since we''ve seen him take action already! This is the style of a peak Alchemy Emperor!"


    "But he''s already slow by a day and a half''s time. Can he catch up to Lord Zuo Qing''s rate of progress?"

 1036 Already Gone

    Han Qing Zi''s astonishment was completely different from the rest.


    Tier 9 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame! It was actually a Tier 9 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!


    Using this essence fire to refine medicinal pills was simply successful in every endeavor!


    Although Ye Yuan was just initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength at the moment, no idea why, Han Qing Zi kept having a feeling of not being able to see through.


    "Looks like this Ji Qingyun is already not the Ji Qingyun back then!" Han Qing Zi heaved a long sigh and said.


    In the process of everyone''s astonishment, Ye Yuan already heated the medicinal cauldron to a state of glittering and crystal clarity with immense speed.


    It was just that his kind of glittering and crystal clear was god knows how many times stronger compared to Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong''s kind of transparency.


    The entire medicinal cauldron was virtually already in a transparent state.


    Everyone all knew that the moment Ye Yuan''s essence fire stopped, this medicinal cauldron would surely be wasted.


    This approach was over-drafting the medicinal cauldron''s life force to stimulate an even stronger pill refinement effect.


    "Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art! Legendary Realm!" shouted someone. The moment the pill refinement started, someone cried out in shock.


    Ye Yuan did not have any hesitation and directly entered the Legendary Realm! Furthermore, it was the extremely high-rank Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art!


    "Probably only an existence like Lord Qingyun Zi could enter the Legendary Realm as and when he pleased, right?"


    "Indeed well-deserving of being Lord Qingyun Zi. This kind of refinement simply makes people feel refreshed in spirit!"


    What Zuo Qing used was also the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art. But it was the realm of major accomplishment. It did not even reach the great circle of perfection.


    In contrast, the disparity between the two people was too obvious.


    But Han Qing Zi''s brows furrowed and he muttered under his breath, "This punk should have long grasped the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art already. He actually only used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art? Where did his confidence come from?"


    Ye Yuan''s every movement and action, Han Qing Zi was very perplexed.


    It was leaping realms to do battle in the first place, Ye Yuan actually only used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art and wanted to refine a high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill. It was likely not easy, right?


    Zuo Qing this high-rank Alchemy Emperor was not touted out. A conservative estimation, Zuo Qing could also refine a high-grade Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill.


    For Ye Yuan to want to win, it at least had to be superior-grade too.


    But could it be done?


    Even though it was just the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art, each one of Ye Yuan''s seals secretly incorporated Heavenly Dao, giving people a feeling of mystery and hard to fathom.


    The same move, when used by different people, the effects were totally different.


    As luck would have it, what Zuo Qing and Ye Yuan used was both the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art. The moment people with discerning eyes saw, they could immediately distinguish the level of superiority.


    The two people''s understanding of alchemy skills was completely not on the same level.


    Through the transparent medicinal cauldron, people could see that in Ye Yuan''s medicinal cauldron, that gradually forming medicinal pill seemed to be jumping for joy under the essence fire''s envelopment, like it was dancing.


    Very soon, the people surrounding were completely brought into the pill refinement process of pleasing the eyes and mind by Ye Yuan.


    Gu Yue''s heart nearly jumped out when he watched Ye Yuan''s pill refinement in the crowd.


    "Too terrific! This is true pill refinement! This is a true expert! I �� I ��" Talking until the back, Gu Yue was virtually rambling incoherently already.


    Xiao Ruyan looked at him like looking at a moron and said speechlessly, "Didn''t you say that you want to surpass Lord Qingyun Zi? Where did that confidence of yours go to?"


    Gu Yue said, "That was merely youthful unbridledness, doesn''t count! Now, I''ve already turned over a new leaf and swear to follow in Lord Qingyun Zi''s footsteps! Starting from now, he''s my idol, my life-long goal!"


    Xiao Ruyan had nothing to say. This guy''s transformation was also too great, right?


    Yesterday, he was still young and frivolous. Today, he turned over a new leaf already?


    However, Xiao Ruyan more or less also discerned a little. Gu Yue was really infatuated with alchemy Dao.


    Only the fascination of alchemy Dao could turn a haughty youth into this.


    Speaking of which, wasn''t Junior Apprentice Brother Ren Dong the same too?


    In a twinkle, a day''s time passed. Everyone was immersed in Ye Yuan''s pill refinement, unable to extricate themselves.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan gave a light cry, "Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill, condense!"


    The moment the essence fire was withdrawn, the medicinal pill was already formed!


    Murmur . ..


    Following Ye Yuan''s essence fire withdrawing, the medicinal cauldron instantly turned into a pile of black charcoal, falling apart to pieces.


    Ye Yuan lightly beckoned, and the medicinal pill flew into the container.


    Han Qing Zi''s expression turned intent, and he said in amazement, "This �� It''s done already?"


    He entered the array formation to carry out the inspection of the medicinal pill impatiently. When he saw the medicinal pill, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    "T-Transcendent-grade! You actually used the Eight-Diagrams Wandering Dragon Secret Art to refine out a transcendent-grade Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill?" Han Qing Zi said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just a Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill. It''s also not some unique medicinal pill, how can it be that hard to refine?"


    Medicinal pills used to compete in alchemy were all not some truly special medicinal pills.


    To a powerhouse like Ye Yuan, refining was completely as easy as blowing off dust.


    Of course, that was referring to matching his strength. But the current Ye Yuan was merely just an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor. Saying these words was a little exaggerated.


    Han Qing Zi was speechless as he said, "I''ve also heard about your matters. It was said that your soul force already broke through the limitations of cultivation realm. Actually, you''re already half a middle-rank Alchemy Emperor now. It''s just that even so, your refinement was also a bit too shocking!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Reincarnating for another life, thought through some things that I couldn''t figure out in the past instead. It''s considered having some accidental gains. This Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill is seriously not considered a big deal to me."


    Han Qing Zi smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "You brat, you''re really a freak! Saying that you have the greatest hope of breaking through to the Alchemy God Realm is absolutely not just saying it!"


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not tell the truth. The reason why he could attain such an effect was actually still all thanks to the refinement of the Nine Truth Pill the last time.


    After that time, his understanding of alchemy Dao became even deeper. Even if he deliberately concealed Divine Dao laws, refining a medicinal pill like the Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill was still very effortless.


    The refinement last time could be said to have utterly broadened his horizons, letting him stand on a higher level to look at the problem.


    Going back to refine Tier 9 medicinal pills now, that feeling was totally different.


    Ye Yuan patted Han Qing Zi''s shoulders and said with a smile, "Thanks for your auspicious words! The matters over here will have to trouble elder brother. This guy still needs to refine god knows how long. I won''t be keeping company."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Xiao Ruyan and the rest and immediately left. When Gu Yue saw the situation, he also waddled along and followed behind.


    The moment Ye Yuan left, a large group of people dispersed with a loud bang, all running after Ye Yuan.


    They did not know what they wanted to do either and just followed Ye Yuan regardless. Perhaps it was just purely wanting to see how this former apex expert was like at present.


    Han Qing Zi could not help smiling wryly and saw Ye Yuan off with his gaze.


    ...


    After half a day, it was already empty below the stage.


    "Purple Clarity Jadeheaven Pill, condense!" Zuo Qing gave a fierce cry and the medicinal pill finally formed.


    "Hahaha! Did pretty well this time! Even if it can''t reach superior-grade, it shouldn''t be far off as well!" Zuo Qing said with a loud laugh.


    Suddenly, he discovered that something was not quite right, and could not help looking below the stage, and was immediately stunned: "Where are the people?"


    Han Qing Zi gave him a pitiful glance and went up to pat him on the shoulders as he said with a sigh, "The people are already gone!"

 1037 The Dog at Grand Masters Fee

    "Master, that punk is still kneeling outside, insisting on acknowledging me as his master. I already taught him a vicious lesson just now, but he refused to leave!"


    Xiao Ruyan was already messed by Gu Yue this sticky candy until she had no temper.


    No matter how she hit, how she scolded, Gu Yue was completely indifferent.


    In short, it was not retaliating when hit, not retorting when scolded, insisting on acknowledging Xiao Ruyan as his master.


    "Milord, how about I go out and cripple that boy, and directly throw outside the city?" Jiang Taicang said ferociously.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No need to care about him. Grind down his disposition first before talking. Shuangzhou, I let you all send news out, saying that I want to collect Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen. Is it already done?"


    Ruan Shuangzhou bowed and said, "Milord, the news was already let out. Your Excellency really has an immense reputation! Hearing that it was milord who wanted to look for these two kinds of spirit medicines, each and every one of them all said that they wanted to gift to milord for free. Now, pretty much the entire Cloudmarsh City is already stirred up, helping milord to find these two types of spirit medicines. But these two kinds of spirit medicines are too rare. Even if it''s the Cloudmarsh City, there might not have either."


    Ao Qian scoffed in contempt and said, "How are they looking on account of milord''s face? They are gifting milord a favor. Although the Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen are seldom-seen, milord''s favor is clearly more valuable compared to these two things!"


    The matter of Ye Yuan utterly trashing Zuo Qing already spread crazily in Cloudmarsh City these two days.


    For some time, the news of Qingyun Zi returning caused a huge commotion, and already became the entire Cloudmarsh City''s greatest topic of conversation.


    Qingyun Zi returned domineeringly. Not only did his alchemy Dao strength not decline, but it also became even more astonishing instead! With initial-rank Alchemy Emperor strength, utterly trouncing the high-rank Alchemy Emperor, Deputy City Lord Zuo Qing.


    This sort of thing was simply inconceivable!


    However, Lord Qingyun Zi was a life-form that accompanied miracles in the first place. It seemed like accomplishing to this extent was not something hard to imagine.


    Him being able to escape death in a great calamity and returning to Cloudmarsh City, wasn''t it a miracle in itself?"


    One had to know that Lord Qingyun Zi was the alchemist known as closest to Alchemy God. Making him owe a favor was too worth it.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If can really find it, what''s the harm in owing a favor?"


    One sentence, it made Jiang Taicang and Wu Lu both incredibly touched.


    These two kinds of spirit medicines were precisely the high-grade Tier 9 spirit medicines necessary for refining the Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill.


    These few days, they had already deeply experienced how heaven-defying His Excellency was.


    Such a heaven-defying existence was actually willing to owe others a favor for them. How could this not move them?


    The few people were just talking when a noisy din suddenly sounded out outside the inn.


    Ruan Shuangzhou''s expression changed, and he said, "I''ll go and take a look at what''s the situation!"


    But Ye Yuan waved his hands to stop it and said, "No rush, take a look first."


    Outside the inn, a young man led a group of people, while opposite them, was just Gu Yue alone.


    "Jian Wushuang, I know that you bear a grudge with my grand-master! Want to find trouble with him, go through me first!" Gu Yue had a grim look and said without weakening his imposing manner.


    That young man called Jian Wushuang chortled with laughter and said, "Yo! Never heard before of Ji Qingyun accepting disciples in the past. It''s just been 20 years, and he even has a grand-pupil already? However �� who the hell are you? To also dare stop this seat?"


    Gu Yue said with a cold smile, "Jian Wushuang, you pursued Spirit Snow Divine King back then but failed to win her heart and was even trampled by grand-master like a dog. You actually still dare to come in front of him to be insolent!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone was marveling at Gu Yue''s boldness.


    This Jian Wushuang was the young sect master of one of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, the Heavenly Sword Sect. His Sword Dao cultivation pierced the heavens and penetrated the earth. It was said that he already had one foot stepped into the ranks of Void Mystic experts.


    "Didn''t think that the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time, the Heavenly Sword Sect came over too. Jian Wushuang heard that Lord Qingyun Zi came back, he''ll naturally come to find trouble with him at the first moment."


    "Yeah. Back then, Jian Wushuang pursued Spirit Snow Divine King bitterly but failed to win her heart. Spirit Snow Divine King only had eyes for Lord Qingyun Zi. The two people are sworn enemies."


    "Especially when Spirit Snow Divine King suffered serious injuries and stayed for a month''s time at the Medicine King Hall with Lord Qingyun Zi in close proximity. After this matter spread out, Jian Wushuang hated even more to the bones!"


    "Back then, Jian Wushuang went up to the Medicine King Hall to challenge Lord Qingyun Zi by himself. The result was that he was crushed by his divine soul attacks until heaven and earth turned dim, and he suffered heavy injuries. If not for that battle, perhaps Jian Wushuang would have long broken through to the realm of Void Mystic already!"


    "Looks like Gu Yue is determined to acknowledge Miss Xiao as master, to actually rebuke Jian Wushuang to his face! But with Lord Qingyun Zi''s present strength, he''s probably not Jian Wushuang''s match!"


    These two days, the inn where Ye Yuan was at was followed with great interest. Therefore, the moment a conflict occurred on that side, it immediately aroused a large group of martial artists'' attention.


    Regarding Jian Wushuang and Ji Qingyun''s various things back then, it was circulated widely in the Divine Realm. They were perfectly aware.


    It was just that regarding Ye Yuan''s predicament, they became somewhat worried.


    They knew that Ye Yuan brought along several divine kings. But those few were likely still not a match compared to Jian Wushuang.


    While Ye Yuan himself was merely First Level Dao Profound strength. It was even more impossible to be Jian Wushuang''s match.


    Gu Yue was domineering too, to actually dare directly tear open Jian Wushuang''s scar in front of so many people.


    With him saying that, Jian Wushuang''s aura turned cold. The hairs all over Gu Yue''s body was almost standing on its ends.


    Gu Yue knew that Ye Yuan was definitely watching him. Whether or not he could acknowledge him as his master would depend on this one chance. He absolutely could not weaken his momentum!


    He might as well resolve his heart and risk it all.


    Gu Yue raised his head high and stuck his chest out, and met Jian Wushuang''s eyes proudly, not the slightest bit afraid.


    When Jian Wushuang saw Gu Yue''s attitude, he suddenly laughed and said, "Not bad! Pretty good! Ji Qingyun''s grand-pupil indeed have balls! It''s already been many years since anyone dared to speak this way to this seat!"


    Gu Yue gave a cold laugh and said, "That is my Lord Grand-Master meeting with a misfortune. Otherwise, how can you be qualified to be arrogant in this Divine Realm?"


    Slap!


    The moment Gu Yue''s voice faded, Jian Wushuang''s slap arrived, directly smacking Gu Yue out far away.


    This slap, Jian Wushuang hit it perfectly and did not claim Gu Yue''s life. But struck until half of his face swelled up.


    Jian Wushuang slowly walked forward and said with a faint smile, "Talk, carry on talking!"


    Pffft!


    Gu Yue directly spewed out a mouthful of frothy blood, wanting to spray onto Jian Wushuang''s face.


    But what kind of skill did Jian Wushuang had? How could he be dirtied by a nobody like him?


    Gu Yue said with a cold smile, "If not for Grand-Master showing mercy back then, you, this trash, would have long become a moron already! Would there still be a chance to flaunt your might in front of this young master?"


    Jian Wushuang laughed again and said, "Brat, I know you. These few years in this Cloudmarsh City, you still have some fame, claiming to want to catch up to Ji Qingyun that fellow. However, you look, you''re already almost dying, and that grand-master of yours is still like a cowardly turtle. He doesn''t dare to come out!"


    Done talking, Jian Wushuang pointed his fingers like a sword and lightly pointed forward.

 1038 Alright, Kneel Down Then

    Rumble!


    Half of the wall behind Gu Yue collapsed with a loud bang!


    But Jian Wushuang''s brows furrowed slightly. His face carried a hint of a shock as he said, "Merging into heaven and earth!"


    And right then, Ye Yuan''s figure slowly appeared not far away. His hand was still grabbing Gu Yue''s collar.


    Ye Yuan loosened his hand, and Gu Yue plopped down onto the ground. His two eyes were staring wide-open. Clearly, he still had not come back to his senses.


    That instant just now, he even thought that he was dead for sure.


    Now, he knew that he bet correctly!


    Lord Qingyun Zi really made a move and saved him!


    "Pretty well done!" Ye Yuan''s nonchalant voice transmitted into his ears, akin to a heavenly melody.


    At this time, Ao Qian and the rest also came out in an instant, and they guarded around Ye Yuan''s side.


    Jian Wushuang sized Ye Yuan up with a glance and suddenly let out a huge laugh and said, "Hahaha �� the exalted peak Alchemy Emperor, Qingyun Zi, actually ended up in such a plight! Didn''t expect, oh, really didn''t expect it! Perhaps this is called, heaven has eyes, right? Don''t you guys think so? Hahaha ��"


    Seeing Ye Yuan change a body, furthermore, only had First Level Dao Profound strength at present, the delight in his heart welled up limitlessly, making him smile until he grinned from ear to ear.


    Nothing was more satisfying than seeing one''s enemy encountering difficulties.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. He just watched him laugh quietly like that.


    Actually, only he was laughing too.


    In this Cloudmarsh City, everyone was firstly excited by Ye Yuan''s return, and secondly sympathetic. Nobody would mock him at all.


    As for those subordinates that Jian Wushuang brought over, each and every one of them also laughed along. It was just that so many people surrounding and watching, their laughter appeared very dry.


    Finally, Jian Wushuang also realized that he was like a clown, before gradually ceasing the laughter.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, "Laughed enough? If you had your fill of laughter, bring your men and get lost then. Don''t look for trouble yourself."


    Jian Wushuang''s face turned black. He discovered that he forever could not find that sense of accomplishment in front of Ji Qingyun!


    He had clearly met with a misfortune currently, why was he still being mocked by him?


    "Ji Qingyun, you don''t think that the current you can dismiss me with just a word, right? You''re merely a homeless dog right now. Even if I don''t kill you, do you think that Ji Canglan will let you go? Or perhaps, do you think I''ll let you off so easily today?" Jian Wushuang said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Otherwise?"


    Jian Wushuang suddenly discovered that he forever could not keep his cool in front of Ye Yuan. In comparison, he was always suppressed by Ji Qingyun.


    Thinking about this, Jian Wushuang could not help switching to a smiling face as he said, "We''ve also not met for a long time. The day we met again feels as if a lifetime has passed. Don''t you feel that we should have a good talk about the old days and settle the scores?"


    "Am I very close to you? If you still don''t get lost, don''t blame me for not being courteous anymore!" Ye Yuan said very calmly.


    "Haha, I want to see just how our Lord Qingyun Zi can be discourteous to me! Could it be by relying on that group of trash behind you?" Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh.


    Hearing Ji Wushuang''s words, the faces of Ao Qian and the rest all turned black.


    Especially Ao Qian, how formidable of an existence was he back then? Now, he was actually looked down upon by a junior like so. This simply made him explode with anger.


    But speaking of which, his current strength might even be inferior to Ruan Shuangzhou''s, let alone talk about Jian Wushuang.


    "Junior, if this old can recover my strength, I''ll definitely tear that mouth of yours!" Ao Qian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh, "You this old fellow should enter a coffin already! Today, this seat can send you on your way."


    Ye Yuan secretly heaved a sigh in his heart. Each and every one of these fellows, how many years has it been, no changes at all.


    Zuo Qing was like that, Jian Wushuang was similarly like so.


    Could it be that they just could not be a little more mature?


    Speaking of which, they were plenty old already, but were still like snotty children, like to go around posturing.


    "Fine then. Today''s matter has nothing to do with them. Don''t you want to find trouble with me? What do you want to do, state your intention," Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said.


    Jian Wushuang was stunned when he heard that and immediately burst into laughter and said, "Haha, what did I hear? The exalted Lord Qingyun Zi actually lowered his head to me? Did you guys see that? Did you guys see that?"


    Seeing Jian Wushuang''s appearance of a despicable person realizing his ambition, the people surrounding and watching also showed indignant looks.


    "Sigh, really a tiger landing in a plain gets bullied by dogs! Recalling when Lord Qingyun Zi was at the height of his power back then, although he was not adept in martial strength, his divine soul mystic arts reached the acme of perfection. Even Void Mystic experts might not gain any advantage at his hands! But now ��"


    "Truly a villain intoxicated by success! Back then, Jian Wushuang was pummeled by Lord Qingyun Zi until he cried his lungs out."


    "How could the Spirit Snow Divine King possibly take fancy of this guy? Unless she''s blind! In my view, Spirit Snow Divine King and Lord Qingyun Zi, that''s a match made in heaven!"


    These people''s words transmitted into Jian Wushuang''s ears. He was enraged until he trembled all over. But a large group of martial artists already gathered at the scene. He could not possibly kill off one by one either. He could only cast all of his anger on Ye Yuan.


    "Ji Qingyun, kneel down and kowtow for this seat today. If this seat feels happy, I might really let you go. Hahaha ��" Jian Wushuang said with a loud laugh.


    Jian Wushuang completely believed that Ye Yuan was really afraid of him, that was why he would compromise out of consideration for the general interest.


    After all, the way he saw it, Ye Yuan''s First Level Dao Profound strength was completely inadequate to post the least bit of threat to him.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright, you start kowtowing then. No need for many, three will do. Then bring your people and scream, this young master will be able to forgive you."


    Jian Wushuang''s smile involuntarily stiffened and his face turned black as he pointed at Ye Yuan furiously and said, "Ji Qingyun, you tricked me!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Don''t you know that Ji Canglan already stepped into Void Mystic, while you actually haven''t broken through yet? Want to become this young master''s opponent, you also got to at least learn from Ji Canglan. Your current bit of ability is also fit to be arrogant in front of this young master?"


    Jian Wushuang''s entire body shook from anger. Why had he not broken through to Void Mystic? Wasn''t it still thanks to Ye Yuan?


    For so many years, Ji Qingyun had always been his inner-demon. He was already stuck at the gates of Void Mystic for very long. But every time he almost broke through, Ji Qingyun''s shadow could not be wiped away.


    Therefore, that was why he would come to the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, wanting to find an opportunity to break through.


    It was just that he never thought that he would encounter the Ji Qingyun who reincarnated the moment he came!


    "Very good. I want to see on what basis a First Level Dao Profound dares to be so wildly arrogant!"


    Jian Wushuang''s longsword swung. A terrifying sword intent headed for Ye Yuan grandly.


    But right at the same time, a terrifying energy undulation also spread out from Ye Yuan there.


    Ye Yuan already took out a fire rod at goodness knows when. An outrageous strength gushed out and was actually even stronger than his sword intent!


    Rumble!


    Caught by surprise, Jian Wushuang was directly smashed out far away. He vomited a mouthful of blood.


    "Since you knew that I came back, didn''t you hear that I have a divine artifact in possession?" Ye Yuan look at Jian Wushuang with pity and said coolly.

 1039 Extreme Sword Divine King!

    "D-Divine artifact! It''s really a divine artifact! Lord Qingyun Zi actually has a divine artifact in possession!"


    No need for Ye Yuan to say, the others also felt the pressure of a divine artifact. Each and every one was incomparably shocked.


    A divine artifact coming into being was already not some secret in the Divine Realm long ago.


    It was just that they did not expect that Lord Qingyun Zi actually had a divine artifact in possession too!


    Regarding the divine artifact, Ye Yuan already could not be bothered to conceal it anymore either. This matter would spread sooner or later and could not be concealed at all.


    Jian Wushuang struggled to his feet. Wiping away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth, he used a dumbstruck gaze to look at Ye Yuan as he said, "You �� How can you possibly have a divine artifact?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Why can''t I have a divine artifact? So �� you can get lost already, right?"


    Currently, Jian Wushuang felt aggrieved to the max!


    Ji Qingyun revived and only had First Level Dao Profound strength currently. While he was already standing on the cusp of Void Mystic powerhouses.


    Originally thought that he could casually knead Ji Qingyun. Did not think that Ji Qingyun actually brought out a divine artifact, this kind of great killing tool. He was still unable to do anything to Ji Qingyun!


    Could it be that in this life, I, Jian Wushuang, would have to be completely trampled underfoot by this fellow?


    Jian Wushuang knew that Ye Yuan did not unleash the true power of the divine artifact just now. Otherwise, he would probably not be getting injured that simple.


    As long as Ye Yuan had the divine artifact in his hands, he would not be able to gain any advantage.


    Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates, "Let''s go! Ji Qingyun, our score isn''t over!"


    Jian Wushuang''s threat appeared rather feeble.


    The might of a divine artifact, everyone knew.


    Unless it was a Void Mystic Realm powerhouse, otherwise, no one could gain any advantage under Ye Yuan''s hands at all.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing to pay a sufficient price, he could even exterminate Jian Wushuang just now.


    When Ye Yuan was still at Phaseless Realm, he could already rely on the Sacred Dragon Token to dance around with Divine King powerhouses. Now that he advanced to Dao Profound, the Sacred Dragon Token could naturally unleash even great power in his hands.


    When those surrounding martial artists saw this scene, they were all incomparably shocked.


    They originally thought that Ye Yuan coming back anew, but only had First Level Dao Profound strength, was a little shabby.


    But through this battle, Ye Yuan finally revealed his fangs!


    He naturally had some reliance to dare openly appear in Cloudmarsh City.


    "Since you came, what are you hiding your head but showing your tail for? Come on out?" After Jian Wushuang left, Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Ao Qian and the rest were all startled. They all did not notice that there was actually still an expert spying by the side!


    A youth in pale-blue long robes slowly walked out from the void, looked at Ye Yuan, and said with a faint smile, "Huhu, Younger Brother Ji, long time no see! Really didn''t think that there would be a day where we''d meet again still!"


    Seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan''s brows finally smoothened out. Clearly, he was very happy.


    "Honestly speaking, I myself didn''t expect it either!"


    Ye Yuan laughed and had a bear bug with the blue-robed youth. It looked like the two people''s relationship was very close.


    "Extreme Sword Divine King! That''s Lord Qingyun Zi''s sworn friend till death! Extreme Sword Divine King!" In the crowd, someone suddenly cried out in shock.


    Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, was one of the few Void Mystic powerhouses in the Divine Realm.


    Although not in the ranking of the Ten Great Divine Kings, nobody dared to underestimate his strength either.


    Furthermore, anyone in the Divine Realm all knew that the Extreme Sword Divine Realm and Qingyun Zi were sworn friends of life and death with an extremely good relationship.


    Back then when Ye Yuan created the Falling Flower Floating Zero, it was precisely the Extreme Sword Divine King who was beside him.


    After the bear hug, Ye Yuan''s face turned cold, and he said, "Thundercry, aren''t you scramming yet? Do you wish to stay behind to drink a cup of tea?"


    Everyone was alarmed once again and could not help exchanging glances. Could it be that within this void, it actually still hid a powerhouse?


    "Thundercry? Could it be the Thundercry Divine King, Wu Yuanqiao? He and the Extreme Sword Divine King are implacable enemies. It was said that he wasn''t on good terms with Lord Qingyun Zi either. Looks like 80% it''s him."


    Just as everyone was guessing it, a cold snort came from the void. "Ji Qingyun, your current bit of strength also dare to barely manage to be presumptuous in front of this seat?! Once the Immemorial Medicine Garden opens, I hope that you can come out from inside alive!"


    Done talking, there were no longer undulations in the void. Clearly, he already left here.


    Kuang Tianming said with a bitter smile, "Why did you have to provoke him?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "If I don''t provoke him, do you think that he''d let me off?"


    Kuang Tianming could not help laughing as he said, "Makes sense! However �� you coming back this time gave me a huge shock! After you break through to the Divine King Realm, even I might not be your match anymore as well!"


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "The Extreme Sword Divine King is matchlessly tyrannical. Since when has he been so modest before?"


    The two people exchanged a look but burst into laughter.


    Seeing an old friend, Ye Yuan also had a rare occurrence of joy and said with a smile, "Come, today, not going back without getting drunk!"


    "Haha! Competing in drinking capacity, you''re not my match!" Kuang Tianming said with a loud laugh.


    The two people put their arms around the shoulders and strutted away.


    "G-Grand-Master, I �� I ��" At this time, the Gu Yue who did not dare to make a sound by the side the whole time suddenly spoke up.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help stopping his footsteps and said with a smile, "Who are you in the Southern Gu Family?"


    Gu Yue''s expression involuntarily changed when he heard and said in surprise, "Turns out �� turns out that Grand-Master actually already saw through it?"


    Kuang Tianming scolded with a laugh, "You foolish boy! What kind of judgment does Qingyun Zi have? Unless you don''t use alchemy skills in front of him, otherwise, how can your little games escape his arcane eyes?"


    Gu Yue could not help smiling embarrassedly. His face was smacked by Jian Wushuang until it swelled up. This smile was ugly to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan casually took out a medicinal pill and threw it to Gu Yue, saying, "Although you hid it very well, the Southern Gu Family''s Crisscross Flowing Wind pill refining style is imprinted in the bones. People with discerning eyes can tell that it comes from the Southern Gu Family with a glance. Who is Gu Tianhua to you?"


    The Southern Gu Family was a mysterious alchemy faction in the Divine Realm. The family clan''s alchemy skills were very formidable. It was just that they rarely moved about in the Divine Realm. Hence, people who knew were not many.


    Gu Yue consumed Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill. The swelling on his face faded away very quickly. The internal injuries were also recovering very quickly. His entire person''s essence, energy, and spirit immediately improved substantially.


    Hearing Ye Yuan mention Gu Tianhua this name, Gu Yue said difficultly, "Gu Tianhua �� is precisely my father!"


    Ye Yuan froze and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Gu Tianhua''s strength is extremely powerful. His understanding of alchemy Dao is also extremely deep. But you came to enter under my tutelage. If he knows, wouldn''t he skin you?"


    Ye Yuan also did not think that this Gu Yue was actually the descendant of an acquaintance.


    Gu Tianhua was an alchemy path powerhouse who rose up in the same era as Ye Yuan. Calculating according to the time, his present alchemy Dao strength would not be beneath Zuo Qing''s no matter what.


    Back then, Ye Yuan rampaged in all directions in Cloudmarsh City, his fame shaking the Divine Realm. It also drew this Gu Tianhua over.


    The result was without any suspense at all. Gu Tianhua was crushed by Ye Yuan until no patch of skin was left unscathed.


    However, Gu Tianhua''s strength in alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan still quite acknowledged it.


    The Southern Gu Family''s alchemy skills formed its own style and had quite a bit of skill. Ye Yuan also learned quite a few things from Gu Tianhua.


    He did not expect that after time went by, his own disciples actually competed with Gu Tianhua''s son. Moreover, was crushed once again ��

 1040 Brothers Injury

    Gu Yue shook his head and said, "No way! The person Father admires the most is Grand-Master! If he knew that I entered Grand-Master''s tutelage, he''d be very relieved instead."


    Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said coolly, "Since that''s the case, you follow Ruyan first and be an in-name disciple then."


    The moment Gu Yue heard, he could not help becoming overjoyed. He did a kowtow towards Xiao Ruyan and repeatedly called out ''master.''


    Xiao Ruyan repeatedly shook her head and said, "My strength isn''t much stronger compared to him either. How can I be his master?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "As the saying goes, those who reached first can teach. Your foundation is much more solid than his. You can naturally be the teacher."


    Xiao Ruyan pouted and said somewhat unwillingly, "Fine then ��"


    ...


    After three rounds of drinks, Kuang Tianming sighed slightly and said, "Younger Brother Ji, this foolish brother has done you wrong!"


    Ye Yuan glanced at Kuang Tianming and said with a sigh, "Oh Old Kuang, having a brother like you is my fortune. The hidden injuries on your body should be left behind by Ji Canglan, right?"


    Actually, the moment he laid eyes on Kuang Tianming, Ye Yuan knew that his condition was not right.


    Carefully studying in detail this time, he saw through the injuries on Kuang Tianming. It was caused by the Eight Extreme Sword Art.


    Kuang Tianming was stupefied and said with a bitter smile, "Nothing can be hidden from you, this punk!"


    "In this world, how many people are more familiar with the Eight Extreme Sword Art than me? Your breathing is disorderly, and there are several streaks of sword qi faintly exuding from your body. You probably already almost can''t suppress it anymore, right? If not for this case, with your personality, how could you get involved with the Immemorial Medicine Garden, this messy situation?" Ye Yuan''s gaze looked at Kuang Tianming heatedly as he said.


    Kuang Tianming''s disposition was carefree and uninhibited. He pursued the limits of sword Dao whole-heartedly and never took foreign objects to heart. Although the Immemorial Medicine Garden had many natural treasures, Kuang Tianming did not take fancy on them.


    If not for sustaining severe injuries, it was also impossible for him to come to this Immemorial Medicine Garden, wanting to find spirit medicines to treat his injuries.


    "Yeah! The Immemorial Medicine Garden''s undulations this time is uncommon. Large quantities of seldom-seen spirit medicines already appeared at the peripherals. Most likely, the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time, there will be precious treasures coming into being. Quite a number of Void Mystic experts probably wouldn''t be able to endure the loneliness," Kuang Tianming said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I''ve also discovered that the entire Cloudmarsh City''s essence energy seems to be considerably more plentiful compared to in the past. Looks like the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time is rather extraordinary."


    "A great era is coming. This Immemorial Medicine Garden also can''t endure the loneliness anymore! Undercurrents are surging in the Divine Realm. Divine artifacts coming into being one after another, perhaps �� this is our lucky chance! It''s just that I never thought that younger brother, you, actually obtained a divine artifact too!" Kuang Tianming said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise. Had another lucky encounter in this life, that''s how I acquire the dragon race''s supreme treasure."


    Ye Yuan thought to himself, what I acquired is not just a simple divine artifact! Between the Vast Heaven Stele and the Sacred Dragon Token, the degree of terror of the former is still far above the Sacred Dragon Token.


    It was just that these two items'' implications were too serious. Ye Yuan would not easily spread the news out.


    "Alright, enough nonsense. I''ll suppress the sword qi in your body for you first. Or else, at this rate, before the Immemorial Medicine Garden opens, you''re probably going to become a cripple already," Ye Yuan said.


    Kuang Tianming nodded his head. He also knew that his own body could not delay anymore.


    Fortunately, he ran into Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the consequences would really be too ghastly to imagine.


    After several hours, Ye Yuan''s fingers suddenly tapped onto Kuang Tianming''s back, leaving illusionary images.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Kuang Tianming immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. But the complexion on his face became much better.


    "I''ve troubled you, Younger Brother ��" Kuang Tianming said.


    But Ye Yuan frowned and said, "I didn''t think that Ji Canglan''s strength is actually powerful to such a degree already! Looks like being able to escape from his hands the last time was really a fluke!"


    Kuang Tianming nodded and said, "Back then, I heard of the Medicine King Hall''s accident and the news of you, Younger Brother''s demise. I was immediately filled with righteous indignation and immediately charged up to the Medicine King Hall. I didn''t expect that at that time, Ji Canglan already cultivated to the eighth extreme! I didn''t last more than a few moves under his hands before being defeated, nearly losing my life at his hands. Even so, his sword intent was still akin to bone-festering maggots, wreaking havoc inside my body."


    Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming, had long already stepped into the realm of Void Mystic 80 years ago.


    Compared to Ji Canglan, he should be a veteran Void Mystic expert.


    But that time they exchanged blows 20 years ago, Kuang Tianming was actually not his match already.


    Now that 20 years had passed, Ji Canglan''s strength would only be even more terrifying.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to succeed the last time, on the one hand was Ji Canglan underestimating the enemy. On the other hand, it was Ye Yuan who caught him overly unawares.


    Ji Canglan also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually used a self-harming method and breached his Divine King domain.


    And also did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such a terrifying divine artifact in possession.


    If he was long prepared, it would be impossible for Ye Yuan to succeed.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became rather ugly but forced the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood out of his body.


    "Take it. Nourish it for a while inside your body. It should be able to eradicate the powers of lightning within your body. Looks like you had enough to choke on being hunted down by Wu Yuanqiao these few days. The injuries within your body are so severe. It''s probably also thanks to him, right?" Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent as he said.


    He helped Kuang Tianming to treat his injuries just now and discovered that within his body not only had the eight extreme sword qi, but there was also still a lightning power with very strong destructive force.


    Originally, these powers of lightning was not a big deal. But Kuang Tianming was unable to purge the eight extreme sword qi in the first place. These powers of lightning undoubtedly piled on a disaster on top of someone who was already unfortunate.


    Currently, the aura in Kuang Tianming''s body was incomparably chaotic and already almost could not be suppressed.


    Ye Yuan expended a Herculean effort before barely managing to seal the eight extreme sword qi with an extremely brilliant method. But this could only alleviate the symptoms and not treat the root.


    Before long, the eight extreme sword qi would still break through the seal. At that time, Kuang Tianming''s condition would be even more severe.


    Kuang Tianming knew that he could not hide it and could only nod his head and say, "Ever since that guy knew that I suffered injuries, he kept on chasing me down. Today, if not for being apprehensive of your divine artifact, he probably wouldn''t leave so easily either. However �� you actually even have a rare object like the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. Furthermore, it''s even Tier 9. Truly makes me incredibly shocked! If Thundercry that fellow knows that you have this object, he''ll probably want to obtain it at all costs."


    Ye Yuan said viciously, "I''m still afraid that he wouldn''t come! Alright, this period of time, you recuperate well. As for the matter of medicinal pills, don''t need you to worry. Leave it all to me!"


    Kuang Tianming did not know the inside story and said in surprise, "Younger Brother, I''m not doubting your strength. It''s just that �� in your present state, you probably can''t refine the medicinal pills I need, right?"


    Ye Yuan was merely First Level Dao Profound strength currently. Even counting in that his previous life''s alchemy skills and experiences were all there, it was also not possible to refine medicinal pills that a Void Mystic expert needed.


    He naturally did not know that Ye Yuan''s soul force was long not constrained by cultivation realm already. Furthermore, he even comprehended Divine Dao laws.


    His alchemy skills were already no longer what it was!


    "Huhu, when have your younger brother, I, done unreliable things? You just have to recuperate at ease will do," Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.

 1041 Someone Cutting In

    "Master, you �� you''re certain that you want me to start training from Tier 1 alchemy techniques?" Gu Yue looked at Xiao Ruyan wide-eyed as he asked with a bitter look.


    Xiao Ruyan had a look of disdain as she looked at Gu Yue and said, "Me and Junior Apprentice Brother both trained like this. If you aren''t willing, you don''t have to train!"


    Gu Yue was stunned. He even thought that Xiao Ruyan was deliberately taking revenge on his behavior back then, and designed this threshold to come and make things difficult for him.


    What was there to train for Tier 1 alchemy techniques?


    Who was he, Gu Yue?


    He was an exalted Alchemy Venerable expert, a big shot who won 3420 matches consecutively in Cloudmarsh City. His foundation was incomparably solid. Was there still a need to practice this sort of child''s plaything?


    But he never expected that Xiao Ruyan they all actually trained like this!


    Gu Yue could not help turning his eyes towards Martial Uncle Ren Dong. Ren Dong nodded and said, "Senior Sister didn''t lie to you. Back then, our expressions were the exact same as yours right now."


    Gu Yue was speechless and could not help asking, "Then �� this needs to be trained to what level?"


    Xiao Ruyan said, "Train all of the Tier 1 alchemy techniques to the Legendary Realm, and you can cultivate Tier 2 alchemy techniques, so on and so forth. But before you cultivate Tier 2 alchemy techniques, I will explain the medicinal theory of Tier 1 medicinal pills for you to hear afresh."


    Gu Yue blinked twice, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    "Tier 1 medicinal pills and medicinal theory? This �� What''s there to learn?" Gu Yue was really speechless.


    What he pursued was the limits of the alchemy path, just like Lord Qingyun Zi! But the master that he currently acknowledged actually made him start learning from scratch!


    This �� Was this drilling him like a newbie?


    Xiao Ruyan snorted coldly and said, "Why? Looking down on Tier 1 alchemy techniques and Tier 1 medicinal pills, is it? Doesn''t matter either way; you''re just an in-name disciple right now. I still have many things I need to practice myself. If you''re not willing to train, get lost as soon as possible!"


    Done talking, Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong turned around and left, and started cultivating the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art not far away.


    But seeing this scene, Gu Yue was endlessly surprised in his heart.


    He did not cultivate the Tier 1 alchemy techniques straight away but observed Master and Martial Uncle by the side.


    Gu Yue was very perplexed. Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong already cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art to the Legendary Realm. Why did they still want to carry on cultivating?


    He just watched them like that. Then discovered that the two people cultivated the Five Elements Heavenly Word Art again and again just like that.


    Such dreary and dull cultivation, it was still his first time seeing.


    10 times, 50 times, 100 times �� 500 times!


    The more Gu Yue watched, the more shocked he got. The two people did not have the intention of stopping at all. They just trained like this over and over again.


    Exhausted and became tired-out, they would casually consume medicinal pills and meditate on the spot to recover. After recovering, they would continue cultivating again.


    As for Gu Yue, they completely treated him like he did not exist.


    Gu Yue finally knew the reason why Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong were both younger than him, but their strength already surpassed him!


    Diligence!


    What they competed in was not talent, but diligence!


    He also finally knew that Xiao Ruyan was not joking with him!


    Master and Martial Uncle definitely both started cultivating from Tier 1 alchemy techniques.


    This was also to say that the two of them already cultivated the alchemy arts before Tier 5 all to the Legendary Realm!


    This �� How much time and energy did this have to expend?


    Gu Yue did not dare to go and think at all!


    Comparing talent, he, Gu Yue, was confident that he was not inferior to anyone! He even felt that his talent was higher than both Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong.


    But him getting defeated at their hands was an indisputable fact!


    What he thought was correct. Carrying on training like this, soon enough, his disparity with Master and Martial Uncle would only become greater and greater.


    Up till now, he finally knew why Ji Qingyun was able to become an existence that alchemists looked up to.


    Without a doubt, Lord Qingyun Zi''s alchemy Dao talent was very terrifying. However, the effort behind him was what everybody could not see!


    Without repetitive tempering, even if his talent was any higher, it was also not possible to win five thousand eight hundred over matches in a row!


    People more impressive than you, but was a hundred times, a thousand times more hardworking compared to you. How could you have a reason to not lose?


    Gu Yue sucked in a deep breath and purged all of the distracting thoughts out of his mind. The movements of his hands slowly begun. It was precisely the starting stance of the Lesser Phaseless Art.


    ...


    When Xiao Ruyan trio were all immersed in the middle of frenzied cultivation, Jiang Taicang was currently stomping his feet in rage.


    "Milord, that bunch of fellows are seriously bullying people too far! They know that you''re collecting the Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen. No idea which bastard was it, they actually cleared these two kinds of spirit medicines all away within the city!"


    These two kinds of spirit medicines concerned whether or not Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the two people, could recover their strength. He was naturally very nervous.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "Why? Are there a lot of Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen?"


    Jiang Taicang said, "To talk about prior to this, there really weren''t these two kinds of spirit medicines. But this period of time, don''t know why either, many precious spirit medicines appeared at the peripherals of the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Among them had these two kinds of spirit medicines. I''ve already inquired before, two stalks of Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and a strain of Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen appeared in the city for a recent period of time. But not long after milord sent the word out, they were cut off by people. This is clearly somebody wanting to oppose milord!"


    Ao Qian frowned and said, "It would be best if there is, don''t insist on it if there isn''t either! Since milord promised you guys, he naturally won''t go back on his word! Presently, the forces in Cloudmarsh City are gathering their people. Milord''s identity is already exposed too. It''s hard to guarantee that an enemy like Jian Wushuang wouldn''t appear. Making too many enemies has no benefits for us!"


    When Jiang Taicang heard that, he also knew that he was overly anxious, and said in embarrassment, "This �� It was Taicang who didn''t consider thoroughly. Hope that Your Excellency doesn''t blame."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said smilingly, "Just some clowns jumping around! Since they dare to bully until on top of my head, they will have to be prepared to receive my wrath! Since my identity is already exposed, even if I avoid them, they will also think of ways to drop in. Since these two types of spirit medicines appeared, we naturally have to get it back. The Immemorial Medicine Garden is rather unusual this time. If your strength is a little stronger, we will also have some assurance in safety."


    Ye Yuan''s words made Jiang Taicang very agitated.


    "But �� just who on earth did this? I''ve inquired for many days and didn''t find out either," Jiang Taicang said gloomily.


    These few days, Cloudmarsh City was a meeting of wind and clouds, various factions mixing together like dragons and fishes jumbling up together. Experts in the city were as many as clouds. In comparison, their party was still a little weak.


    Ye Yuan said, "Calculating based on the time, it shouldn''t be Jian Wushuang. Looks like there''s someone stirring things up in the dark. Forget it, can''t guess then can''t guess. Let''s go and ask, and we''ll know."


    As he said, Ye Yuan got up and walked out.


    Jiang Taicang was stunned and chased after to ask, "Milord, Taicang has already inquired for quite a few days but didn''t find any clues either! Those few sellers also seemed to be unaware of the other party''s background. Who do we go look for to ask?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This Cloudmarsh City, who understands the situation in the city the best?"


    Jiang Taicang shook his head stiffly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and headed straight out of the door.

 1042 Old Man Han

    When Ao Qian and the others all saw ''City Lord Manor,'' these three big words, all of them could not help exchanging glances.


    Cloudmarsh City''s city lord was a very mysterious existence. The ones managing normally were all several deputy city lords acting on behalf. But barely anyone had seen before the city lord''s real appearance.


    Even an old monster like Ao Qian also knew very well that Cloudmarsh City''s city lord was not to be provoked.


    A land where wind and clouds met like Cloudmarsh City, even if it wasn''t the Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, it was still a place that was extremely hard to manage.


    Without some skills, how could one be able to hold down such a large city?


    "Your Excellency, you wouldn''t be ��"


    Jiang Taicang''s words had yet to finish speaking when Ye Yuan already mustered up essence energy and projected his voice out.


    "Old Man Han, an old friend came to visit. Why haven''t you come out to welcome me?"


    The moment these words were uttered, several terrifying killing intents instantly locked onto the few people.


    Even an existence like Ao Qian had cold sweat pouring profusely at this time too.


    Among these killing intents, there were definitely Void Mystic powerhouses. Once they had any unusual movements, the other party would give them a deadly blow without the slightest hesitation.


    If in his top condition, Ao Qian naturally did not fear. But at the moment, his strength was too weak. If they were to really do battle, there was only a road that led to death.


    "Your Excellency, w-we''d better leave!" Jiang Taicang was rather scared already and could not resist going forward to urge.


    But Ye Yuan was calm and collected. It was as if he did not sense any killing intent at all.


    After several breaths, a faint voice transmitted out.


    "Come on in."


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and passed right through the city lord manor''s array formation, and entered the city lord manor''s rear-hall.


    "Milord!"


    Jiang Taicang and the rest were about to catch up when that killing intent suddenly became much more piercingly cold.


    "You all wait outside!" a voice transmitted out faintly, revealing killing intent.


    Ao Qian was rather indignant as he said, "Wait until this father of yours recovers his strength. See if you dregs still dare to be cocky in front of me!"


    Talking was talking, Ao Qian also knew that he did not have the capital to be arrogant at present. His only hope lay on Ye Yuan.


    ...


    Ye Yuan followed the aura of that voice and arrived at a very covert courtyard in the rear-hall.


    He did not stop and directly walked towards a corner of the courtyard.


    The space around had an undulation. A massive transformation actually occurred to the scenery before Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    A thatched house, smoke curling up from the chimney.


    Around the cottage was filled with some spirit medicines overflowing with fragrance. Looking at the grade, the lowest was also not beneath Tier 9!


    If someone else came in, they would even think that they entered a treasure vault!


    An old man wearing a straw hat on his head sat by the river and was actually fishing.


    "There''s tea in the pavilion, take it yourself. Don''t startle my fish," the old man said without even turning around.


    Ye Yuan smiled and was not in a rush either. He slowly came to a wooden pavilion and poured himself a cup to drink on his own.


    "Not only did you not die, your formations ability actually even improved a step further, truly a freak!" the old man said calmly.


    Ye Yuan sipped tea as he smiled and said, "Old Man Han, you''ve been fishing by the river here for 50 thousand years, have you really caught anything?"


    The old man used a hoarse voice to say, "What do you think?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Those who are willing, takes the bait! It''s just that this bait is yourself, right?"


    When the old man heard these words, he finally put down the fishing rod and slowly walked into the pavilion. He then sat down opposite Ye Yuan.


    "I didn''t expect that you reincarnated, and even your heart realm became much keener! Recalling when you asked me the same question back then, at that time, you couldn''t figure it out," the old man said.


    Ye Yuan said, "Old Man Han, pretending you don''t know anything in front o me? How can the matters that happen in this Cloudmarsh City escape your eyes and ears?"


    Ye Yuan used merging into heaven and earth in the city before. This Old Man Han definitely already knew that he comprehended Heaven Man Unity long ago.


    Old Man Han said smilingly, "Knowing is one thing, surprise �� is another thing. Your soul force already broke through the shackles of cultivation realm. Looks like the rumors of your father obtaining a Divine Dao medicinal canon should be true."


    The Medicine God''s Soul Canon was an extremely hidden matter in the Medicine King Hall. Even Ye Yuan himself only knew after reincarnating too.


    Ye Yuan did not think that these old geezers had long heard of it.


    These old geezers were all very cunning. Every one of them was a real piece of work.


    Only after reincarnating once did Ye Yuan discover that compared to this old man in front of him, there was likely still some gap!


    Of course, this was just what he thought in his heart. On the surface, he was like an old well without ripples. He said coolly, "You don''t need to broach the subject in a roundabout manner anymore as well. Otherwise, why do you think us Ji father and son ended up in such a plight?"


    Ye Yuan''s words were equivalent to covertly admitting the existence of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon.


    It was just that Ye Yuan being so scoundrelly made Old Man Han somewhat stunned in his heart. Did this boy really had something to rely on, or was his thinking too shallow?


    Old Man Han could not help sizing up this rather unfamiliar face in front of him anew and suddenly discovered that he actually could not quite see through.


    Although Ye Yuan''s seniority was shallow back then, his alchemy Dao strength made the world submit. He naturally had the qualifications to be on equal footing with them, these old fellows.


    But they all, these old guys, which one would appear as simple as on the surface?


    Just take Ji Zhengyang as an example; he secretly cultivated the Medicine God''s Soul Canon and refined a half-step divine pill. At that time, it astounded everybody.


    While this Old Man Han was practically a peer of the same generation with Ji Zhengyang. His strength was unfathomable.


    Ji Qingyun was actually just a piece of blank paper in front of him.


    But when he looked at Ye Yuan again in this life, he actually felt as if a layer of veil was covering Ye Yuan, making him have a feeling of being amidst cloud and mist!


    Finally, Old Man Han heaved a long sigh and said, "Looks like these short 20 years, many things happened!"


    If say in his previous life, they all, these geezers, only brought Ye Yuan along for fun, now, it was different. Now, Ye Yuan truly had the qualifications to sit opposite of them!


    Hearing Old Man Han''s emotional sigh, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You aren''t moved?"


    Old Man Han said, "Naturally moved!"


    "Why not try to take it?"


    "I have no confidence!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Fine then. Truly, the older the person, the smaller the guts. I already delivered to your mouth, didn''t think that you''re actually not eating! I even thought that I''d have to expend some effort today before I can make you open your mouth!"


    Old Man Han could not help choking up when he heard that and huffed as he said, "You brat, still like this! You''re at any rate a junior too, don''t you know how to respect the elderly a little?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I only respect lovable geezers. You, this geezer, are not lovable, so not respecting! However, you''re a little more likable than Old Man Jing. Hence, that''s why I''d sit here and talk with you."


    Old Man Han said, "Speaking of Old Man Jing, you got to be a little careful. That geezer is indeed full of wickedness. He might be waiting for you somewhere!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Since I have a second chance in life, this score naturally has to be settled one by one. Old Man Jing not coming to find me, I''ll go and look for him anyway. Alright, meeting an old acquaintance today, emotions are rather agitated, speak less crap. You should know my intentions for coming, say it out straight."


    Old Man Han nodded his head and said, "Speaking of which, it''s your old friend too, Fiendblade Mountain, Yue Xinping! Remember to be more light-handed, don''t stir up too big of a commotion."

 1043 Growing Dizzy with Success

    Only when they saw Ye Yuan walk out of the City Lord Manor without a scratch did Ao Qian and the rest let out a sigh in relief.


    "Milord, are you alright?" Jiang Taicang asked worriedly.


    "What can there be? Aren''t I perfectly well? Come, let''s go and settle scores!" Ye Yuan said.


    Jiang Taicang was stunned and said, "Milord, you know who''s playing tricks?"


    "Of course, otherwise, what did I come here for?" Ye Yuan said.


    Jiang Taicang had a look of worship as he said, "Milord, this Cloudmarsh City''s city lord is incredibly mysterious! This old man is also considered a veteran already, but I really don''t know what kind of person this Cloudmarsh City''s City Lord is!"


    Wu Luo who was by the side nodded and said, "There are actually Void Mystic powerhouses guarding his gate for him; this city lord is definitely not an ordinary existence!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Old Man Han just likes to pretend to be mysterious. Actually, it''s no big deal either. Have you guys heard the title of Alchemy Fanatic before?"


    The moment these words were uttered, Ao Qian was still alright, but Wu Luo, Jiang Taicang, and Ruan Shuangzhou all turned pale with fright.


    "Cloudmarsh City''s City Lord is the Alchemy Fanatic, Han Jing, whose name shook the Divine Realm 50 thousand years ago?" Jiang Taicang yelled out at the top of his voice.


    "Rumor has it that 50 thousand years ago, after him and the present Void Divine King had a great battle, he vanished. I didn''t think that he actually became Cloudmarsh City''s city lord. Furthermore, it''s 50 thousand years in one go!" Ruan Shuangzhou exclaimed.


    "Yeah! Senior Han Jing only used a thousand years to reach peak Alchemy Emperor. At that time, the Divine Realm was incomparably stirred ��"


    Jiang Taicang said halfway and stopped.


    He suddenly recalled that his own lord seemed to be even more freakish and only used 300 years of time to break through to peak Alchemy Emperor.


    After another 200 years of accumulation, he could already debate on Dao shoulder to shoulder with Han Jing, this kind of peerless powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Old Man Han is indeed an unparalleled genius. His strength is not beneath my father''s and mine! But these old fellows, when you have more contact with him, you''ll discover that they are all just a bunch of guys deliberately mystifying things. This way, it would make people feel that they are very mysterious, with a feeling of inscrutability and enigma. Actually, it''s also just that."


    Hearing these words, everyone could not help being speechless.


    Wanting to uncover their mysterious veil, one at least also had to have strength on equal footing with them.


    Otherwise, who would care about you!


    The rankings in the martial arts words were incomparably strict. Strength falling short, one would forever not be able to integrate into that circle.


    Just take the previous life''s Ji Qingyun, his friends and enemies were basically all the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most existences.


    Even ordinary divine king powerhouses did not have the right to speak with him either.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and looked at everyone as he said with a smile, "Come on, if that bunch of fellows is sensible, this matter is also considered over. If not sensible, then I''ll have to trouble you all a bit."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s eyes that harbored ill-intent, a blast of cold wind hit Jiang Taicang and the rest from behind.


    These eyes felt like a wolf eyeing a sheep.


    "M-Milord, w-what do you want to do?" Jiang Taicang said weakly.


    "You guys will know at that time."


    ...


    Fiendblade Mountain was not a super holy land. But in terms of strength, it was not much weaker compared to super holy lands either.


    Originally, Fiendblade Mountain was just a Rank One Holy Land whose strength was quite strong. But a thousand years ago, their holy land produced a peerless genius who actually broke through to the realm of Void Mystic!


    Ever since then, Fiendblade Mountain''s status skyrocketed, even approaching super holy lands.


    Yue Xinping''s life-long wish was to let Fiendblade Mountain become a super holy land.


    However, the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, each one of them was a force with extremely profound foundations and was not that easy to be replaced.


    In these 100 thousand years, there were quite a few Rank One Holy Land that produced Void Mystic Realm powerhouses before. But those truly able to reach super holy land were extremely, extremely few.


    Ever since Fiendblade Mountain produced a Yue Xinping, they had always been rampant and domineering when doing things. In these 1000 years, they had done quite a number of wicked deeds.


    Over a hundred years ago, Yue Xinping had once requested a pill from Ji Qingyun, but he was rejected by Ji Qingyun with stern words. This matter made him brood over it.


    Ever since then, their enmity towards the Medicine King Hall was very strong.


    At this moment, Yue Xinping was currently being pleased with himself at Fiendblade Mountain''s stronghold.


    "Hahaha! Doesn''t Ji Qingyun that punk wants Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamens? I''ll collect it all for him, see how he still refine pills! You all watch closely for me, although these two kinds of spirit medicines are scarce, with the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s abnormal happenings, it might still appear again. As long as it shows up on the market, immediately bring it in for me!" Yue Xinping said with a loud laugh.


    "Yes, Mountain Lord! We''ve already sent out the manpower. As long as we receive news of these two kinds of spirit medicines, we''ll purchase them right away!"


    The one talking was Yue Xinping''s right-hand man, peak Divine King, Yu Rongwei.


    These few years, Yue Xinping groomed a large batch of experts for Fiendblade Mountain. The inflation in strength was very impressive.


    In comparison, the temperament of an upstart also became increasingly distinct. Things like exterminating entire clans would happen at the slightest provocation.


    "Heh heh, at the thought of Ji Qingyun, that punk''s hopeless look, this seat is incomparably satisfied in my heart! Jian Wushuang that punk is really dumb, to provoke Ji Qingyun without even understanding the situation. He deserved to be pummeled!" Yue Xinping said with a laugh.


    Not that he was afraid of Ye Yuan. Even if Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in possession, with his Void Mystic Realm strength, he was fearless too.


    Furthermore, the intel that he obtained was more comprehensive than Jian Wushuang.


    Ye Yuan expended too much divine essence in the great battle the last time. Most likely, the divine artifact could not be used more than a few times already.


    But he more or less still had some dread towards divine artifacts. It was just perfect; after Ye Yuan suppressed Zuo Qing and released news about wanting these two kinds of spirit medicines, Yue Xinping had a flash of inspiration and secretly purchased these two kinds of spirit medicines, not giving Ye Yuan the slightest chance.


    "Haha, Mountain Lord is brilliant! That punk probably never would have dreamed that it''s us buying the spirit medicines in secret! It''s simply nothing more than wishful thinking for him to want to obtain these two kinds of spirit medicines before the Immemorial Medicine Garden opens!" Yu Rongwei said with a laugh.


    Yue Xinping nodded and said, "Although that brat has a divine artifact, his strength is still too weak. If my conjectures are right, he''s definitely finding these two kinds of spirit medicines to help those two subordinates of his to refine medicinal pills. This way, his assurance of entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden will also be several points greater. But now �� hahaha!"


    The more Yue Xinping talked, the more delighted he got. He could not refrain from letting out laughter.


    Back then, he was given a good scolding by enumerating his wrong-doings, saying that he committed all sorts of wicked deeds, and was unworthy to receive medicinal pills, such and such.


    And even destroyed all of the spirit medicines that Yue Xinping found painstakingly to his face!


    Yue Xinping immediately blew up back then and wanted to make a move against Yue Xinping, but was severely injured by the Medicine King Hall''s experts and fled.


    This matter was unprecedented humiliation in Yue Xinping''s lifetime. Moreover, he was constantly mocked by people later on.


    With his character, how could he endure it?


    Just as Yue Xinping''s was being pleased with himself, his expression suddenly changed.


    A horrifying aura descended from the sky and directly crushed down.


    "Not good, quickly dodge!"


    Yue Xinping''s figure instantly vanished from where he stood.


    Only to hear a boom. The place Yue Xinping was at was directly crushed into a wasteland.


    Ye Yuan stood in the air and looked at Yue Xinping with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Yue Xinping, after so many years of not meeting, I didn''t think that you''re still this filthy!"

 1044 Rampaging Ao Qian!

    Ye Yuan beckoned lightly. The Vast Heaven Pagoda turned into a small pagoda and returned to his hand.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Xinping''s eyes revealed a look of greed.


    Rumors had it that apart from a dragon clan divine artifact, Ye Yuan still had a quasi-divine artifact in his hands, likewise unbelievably powerful. It should be this small pagoda.


    "Ji Qingyun, are you tired of living? To actually dare provoke your Grandpa Yue?" Yue Xinping said with a black face.


    He never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually dared to drop in and taunt so blusteringly, directly wrecking his lair.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It''s you who provoked me first! Hand over the Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen, and be spared a bout of fleshy agony."


    Yue Xinping was alarmed in his heart, but he refused to admit it verbally and snorted coldly as he said, "Ji Qingyun, don''t make trouble willfully! What Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass, I''ve never seen it before at all! If you want to find trouble, Grandpa Yue will take you on! Don''t think that you''re impressive with a divine artifact! Just those few small fries behind you, this seat doesn''t think anything of them yet!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed as he said, "In that case, you want to talk again after fighting?"


    Yue Xinping said with a cold smile, "Stop putting up an act there! The White Tiger battle, you were beaten by Ji Canglan like a homeless cur! Still dare to feign ignorance in front of your Grandpa Yue! Since you delivered yourself to the doorstep, let''s settle the old and new grudges together!"


    Done talking, a terrifying aura spread out. Yue Xinping actually directly opened up his divine king domain!


    The terror of a Void Mystic powerhouse was displayed in its entirety at this moment.


    "Lord Qingyun Zi was too reckless! Yue Xinping is a Void Mystic expert, with his present strength, how can he possibly be Yue Xinping''s match?"


    "Although Yue Xinping''s strength didn''t increase much for so many years, he''s a Void Mystic expert in the end. Even if Lord Qingyun Zi is wielding a divine artifact in his hand, the disparity with him is also a little too big."


    "Looks like Yue Xinping has the intention of opposing Lord Qingyun Zi and took away these two kinds of spirit medicines in the dark. No wonder we couldn''t find all along. It''s just that the strengths of these subordinates brought by Lord Qingyun Zi are really lacking!"


    Ao Qian, Jiang Taicang, and Wu Luo, only had the strength of ordinary divine kings at the moment. While Ruan Shuangzhou was just slightly better than them, with a first-rate divine king strength.


    But the four of them simply could not withstand a single blow in front of Fiendblade Mountain''s experts!


    Disregarding the rest, one Yue Xinping was sufficient to crush all of them.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Since you''re asking for trouble yourself, don''t blame me."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan came before Ao Qian trio with a flash and fired out some things with extremely swift skill. As for what they were, everyone did not see clearly.


    Ao Qian trio''s bodies trembled all over, their auras suddenly soaring!


    "Hahaha �� Milord, what did you do just now? Why do I feel like I''ve recovered to my peak state?" Jiang Taicang was beside himself with joy as he said with a laugh.


    Just earlier, he suddenly felt a wave of stinging pain at his back and head. Then, boundless strength returned to his body.


    Within virtually a blink of an eye, his strength recovered to his peak state.


    Wu Luo''s sensation was the same as him. Currently, his aura also rose to the boundary of peak Divine King.


    As for Ao Qian �� he suddenly opened his two eyes. Rays of brilliance emitted from his eyes. A terrifying dragon pressure instantly enveloped the entire city!


    "Although I didn''t recover to my prime, pummeling this brat �� is enough! Milord, how to beat up his brat?" Ao Qian looked at Yue Xinping with ill-intent as he said.


    Ye Yuan shot the three of them a glance rather sympathetically and said coolly, "Only two hours, pummel at will! Pummel until they cry for their mummies!"


    Ye Yuan used the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing method just now to stimulate the trio''s potential, making them recover to their peak state temporarily.


    It was just that this state could only last for two hours.


    After two hours, they would be utterly drained, unable to use even a trace of essence energy. Even a normal person without any strength to tie a chicken up could easily kill them.


    Although they did not know how severe the aftermath was, Ao Qian trio were also people with vast experiences and knew that it would definitely have aftereffects.


    But �� this feeling of returning to the peak was truly very wonderful!


    One had to know that the least among them was already suppressed for more than 3000 thousand years too.


    Even if it was just a momentary recovery, it also made them have a feeling of heroism.


    Seeing the Ao Qian trio whose auras suddenly became flourishing, Yue Xinping''s expression could not help changing drastically.


    The other two people were still alright, but that dragon race powerhouse was simply daunting to the max!


    Instinctively, Yue Xinping wanted to turn tail and run.


    But Ao Qian did not give him any chance at all. In a blink of an eye, he barged into his divine king domain carrying a violent impact force.


    Rumble!


    Ao Qian''s bloodline power was fearsome to the extreme. Even Yue Xinping''s divine king domain could not block it, directly being smashed underground.


    "Hahaha! Little bastard, this seat will let you take a look at who''s the small fry! When this seat roamed the Divine Realm, your grandfather''s grandfather wasn''t even born yet!"


    Ao Qian laughed wildly and directly charged under the ground.


    This period of time, he was really oppressed to the extreme. Any random tom, dick, and harry would dare to posture in front of him.


    Who was he, Ao Qian?


    In these 50 thousand years, apart from Long Teng, he was practically the dragon clan''s strongest!


    His strength, even Void Mystic powerhouses had to prostrate for him too! But the wheels of time turned, these junior brats were all absurdly arrogant in front of him. How could he not be furious?


    Today, he finally vented the grievances in this period of time all on Yue Xinping!


    Rumble!


    Right when everyone was in a daze, a series of horrifying undulations came from underneath the earth. Enormous debris tossed upwards from time to time, making everyone''s hearts spasm when they heard.


    "Haha, Old Wu, Old Man Ao is having a great time fighting! We should make a move too!" Jiang Taicang said with a big laugh.


    Wu Luo nodded his head. The two people brought along a powerful momentum and charged towards the Fiendblade Mountain''s divine kings.


    Yu Rongwei''s expression changed, and he cried out, "Don''t be afraid, our numbers are many! The two of them are merely peak divine kings! Want to gain any advantages from us, dream on!"


    Jiang Taicang chortled with laughter and said, "Haha, Old Wu, looks like we''re being looked down upon! What to do?"


    Wu Luo said expressionlessly, "Then let''s help them to loosen up their bones and ligaments well! Let them know what''s called respecting one''s elders!"


    "Haha, I have this very intention!"


    Wu Luo''s bloodline released fully and directly smashed a fist at Yu Rongwei!


    Rumble!


    Without any surprise, Yu Rongwei was smashed flying with one punch, while Wu Luo chased after like he was completely fine.


    Jiang Taicang also displayed his invincible might, facing off with four first-rate divine kings alone, but fought until they did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Originally, everybody thought that Ye Yuan was sending himself to the tiger''s mouth.


    No one expected that in a blink of an eye, it was Ye Yuan''s side that was akin to tigers entering a flock of sheep.


    The three mighty divine king experts under Ye Yuan bashed the Fiendblade Mountain''s experts up with an absolute overwhelming stance.

 1045 Do Come Again

    After an hour, the Fiendblade Mountain''s group of experts had utterly fallen into the enemy''s hands.


    "I �� I admit defeat! Don''t fight anymore!" Yue Xinping who was currently being pummeled shouted at the top of his voice.


    Ao Qian who was at full strength was seriously too terrifying, beating him until he did not have strength remaining to counterattack.


    In just an hour, he already could not hold on anymore.


    Ye Yuan said it very clearly earlier. It was in two hours. But continue fighting at this rate, Yue Xinping was probably going to be finished off by Ao Qian in less than two hours.


    Except, he shouted as much as he can, but Ao Qian''s attacks did not slack off at all.


    He had pent-up for close to 20 thousand year''s time. This time, he finally managed to return to his peak state. How would Yue Xinping be treated fairly if he did not grasp it well?


    And Ye Yuan also did not seem to have the intention of letting him stop.


    "You say fight, and we fight; you stop, and we stop? Then wouldn''t I have no face? Ao Qian, carry on beating for me! Isn''t he Void Mystic Realm? Pummel him until his insides are void for me!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment Ao Qian heard, his entire person seemed to be injected with stimulants, his offensive power instantly becoming several times fiercer.


    Although he opened up his divine king domain, his divine king domain could not block in the least bit under Ao Qian''s bloodline power.


    The area affected by the great battle of Void Mystic Realm powerhouses was extremely vast. This large stretch of region already became a wasteland.


    In the depths of the City Lord Manor, Old Man Han let out a slight sigh and said, "This brat, asked him to go easy, but he just doesn''t listen! But his Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing''s power seems to be greater than in the past! This brat is exuding bizarreness everywhere after returning this time. Even I actually can''t figure him out too! It seems like the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s opening this time is somewhat worth watching."


    Done talking, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod. A frolicking little fish was actually hauled up by him.


    The moment Old Man Han saw, he could not help saying emotionally, "You got pulled up, looks like another thousand years passed ��"


    Finished talking, he freed the little fish from the fish hook and casually tossed, and actually tossed it back into that large river again.


    While at this time, Yue Xinping was covered in blood all over, his breathing extremely chaotic, looking like he almost could not endure anymore.


    "I �� I have something to say!" Yue Xinping seized a breather and shouted at the top of his voice.


    Only then did Ye Yuan waved his hand, signaling for the three people to stop.


    Ao Qian stopped. Only then did everyone saw Yue Xinping''s appearance currently.


    His clothing was ragged, his face, arms, body, bloodstains were everywhere; he was in an extremely sorry plight. How was there still any hint of a mountain lord''s dignity?


    Just as Ye Yuan said, he did not seem like a Void Mystic expert at all right now, but like an expert with his insides void instead.


    As for the rest, they were not much better than him either.


    Yu Rongwei''s situation was even more tragic than Yue Xinping''s. His entire person was already almost pummeled into a heap of minced meat.


    While the other divine king experts were similarly pummeled by Jiang Taicang until they were searching for their teeth.


    These three peerless powerhouses making a move, the spectacle was not an ordinary kind of shocking.


    Putting aside Ao Qian, for Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang to be able to become the White Tiger Clan''s number two and number three prisoners, how could their strength be what ordinary peak divine kings could compete with?


    Although they did not reach the realm of Void Mystic, they were also not too far off already.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Yue Xinping and said coolly, "What do you have, say it quickly. There''s still some time from two hours, enough to beat you up until your teeth all fall out."


    Yue Xinping was incredibly aggrieved. But facing such a powerful adversary, he really did not have any temper at all.


    Ao Qian''s strength completely overpowered him. Furthermore, no idea what kind of stimulant this guy was injected with, his combat power was off the charts! Yue Xinping could not resist at all!


    If he knew that Ao Qian had already been pent-up for 20 thousand years in a dungeon, he would probably have long laid down arms and surrendered.


    Yue Xinping gritted his teeth and said, "The Ancient Spirit Center Fragrant Grass and Jadegreen Sacred Flower Stamen matter was indeed done by me! That day, I heard that you wanted these two kinds of spirit medicines, so I sent people to collect in-advance. Those two people were even unwilling to sell to me, insisting on giving to you. Then, I made people kill them and forcefully snatched these two kinds of spirit medicines."


    The moment these words came out, this area instantly seethed with excitement.


    Fiendblade Mountain''s methods were truly a little too vicious. In order to take revenge on Ji Qingyun, Yue Xinping actually indiscriminately slaughtered the innocent!


    Yue Xinping did not wish to tell the truth either, but he knew that Ye Yuan was very astute. Not telling the truth, he would not be able to pass this hurdle today.


    In any case, Fiendblade Mountain''s reputation was not any good in the first place. Being a bit lousier did not matter either.


    There was no need to fear an itch when there were many lice!


    This martial arts world ultimately still depended on strength to speak.


    Even if these people were any more displeased, what could they do to him?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "At least you''re sensible! Where are the spirit medicines?"


    The corners of Yue Xinping''s mouth twitched, but he still toughened his scalp and said, "The spirit medicines �� were already swallowed by me!"


    Hearing this, the public sentiment was even more stirred; each and every one of them pointed at Yue Xinping and cursed bitterly.


    Especially Jiang Taicang, he wished that he could go forward and twist his head off.


    But this outcome did not surpass Ye Yuan''s expectations. He said nonchalantly, "What needs to be done, don''t need me to teach you, right?"


    Yue Xinping''s expression was incomparably ugly. He fished out a storage ring and threw it to Ye Yuan, saying, "In here are spirit medicines that my Fiendblade Mountain gathered in this period of time. There are even 50 thousand heaven essence crystals. It should be enough to compensate you, right?"


    This trip to the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Fiendblade Mountain was one of the earliest batches of factions to come. This period of time, they gathered quite a number of high-rank spirit medicines.


    Yue Xinping never would have thought that the consequences of provoking Ye Yuan were actually to this extent.


    What he was even more puzzled about was that he clearly did this thing very covertly, how on earth did Ye Yuan discover?


    Ye Yuan received the storage ring and said coolly, "Yue Xinping, if you feel that provoking this young master is very fun, you''re welcome to come and provoke again next time! But you have to remember to prepare a bit more spirit medicines next time. Otherwise, it probably won''t be settled so easily."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Ao Qian and the rest and left this place. Only a mess remained.


    Fiendblade Mountain''s stronghold already completely became a wasteland.


    ...


    Returning to the residence, Jiang Taicang''s expression was incomparably ugly as he said unhappily, "Milord, Old Man Ao''s strength is already sufficient to kill that damn guy. Why would you let him off?"


    He was very perplexed. Ao Qian''s strength clearly completely crushed Yue Xinping. There was only a bit more to be able to finish him off.


    While on their side, eradicating the other party''s group was also not unachievable. No idea why His Excellency was benevolent and let this group of people go.


    Towards Yue Xinping, Jiang Taicang''s resentment was rather high.


    Originally, his strength could recover right away. But now, they must wait for the Immemorial Medicine Garden to open before having an opportunity to recover.


    But Ao Qian snorted coldly as he said, "You idiot! If I could kill him, would His Excellency make me stop? A rabbit in a pinch will even bite, let alone that that fellow is a Void Mystic expert? Coming for the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, he definitely prepared quite a few trumps cards. Really forcing him into a corner, none of us will gain any advantages! Don''t you forget, we only have two hours'' time!"This is actually a wordplay on the words Void Mystic, saying he''s Void + Kidney = deficient in the kidneys, which generally refers to a male''s sexual prowess being lacking. This is the best alternative I could come up with.

 1046 Powerhouses Gather!

    Ao Qian saw it clearly in his heart. Actually, he had long perceived this outcome.


    Therefore, although he looked like he was beating ruthlessly, he did not unleash genuine killing moves.


    That Yue Xinping was at any rate a Void Mystic expert. Really forcing him into a corner, he probably would not be that easy to deal with either.


    The reason why Yue Xinping did not utilize trump cards was just that he did not wish to expose himself too early.


    If he revealed all of his trump cards at this time, he would not have much reliance upon entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time already drew a large batch of experts over. Even Void Mystic powerhouses might not be able to gain any advantages either.


    Exposing trump cards too early, either directly get lost, or go in and court death. There was probably no third path to take.


    Ye Yuan looked at the three people and said with a smile, "I stimulated your potential with the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing skill, letting you guys briefly recover to your prime. But right away, you all will be drained all over your body. For three days, your meridians will be swollen in pain, your entire bodies akin to being burned by a blazing fire. You''ll likely not be able to even twitch your fingers."


    The moment these words came out, the three people''s countenance instantly changed. This sort of taste was not too enjoyable!


    They knew that the consequences were very serious, but they did not think that it would be so severe.


    "M-Milord, is there any way to ease it a little?" Jiang Taicang said weakly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "There''s no way! I can only make sure of not damaging your martial Dao foundations. But a tiny bit of anguish still has to be suffered."


    The three people''s expressions were incomparably ugly. But they also knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.


    This kind of potential stimulating techniques commonly needed to pay an enormous price. This sort of price was not as simple as lying in bed for two days.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to achieve this was already extremely heaven-defying means.


    Just as they were talking, the three people suddenly spasmed, their entire bodies becoming rigid, then directly toppling down stiffly.


    "I-It came �� right away!"


    The expression on Jiang Taicang''s face contorted, his entire person spasming non-stop, looking very pitiful.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The three of you rest with your minds at ease. I''m going to enter closed-seclusion these two days to refine the Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill. Just treat it as a reward for you guys, huhu."


    Hearing these words, Ao Qian was still alright, but Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the duo trembled all over.


    Although their whole bodies were spasming, their eyes went wide-open, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    They wanted to know whether Ye Yuan was messing with them or not!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Old Man Han that fellow is sitting on Cloudmarsh City. Since the Immemorial Medicine Garden has fluctuations, these two kinds of spirit medicines can''t stump him yet. It''s been hard on you guys these few days. The matter regarding the medicinal pills, leave it to me."


    ...


    Several days later, rays of light spilled over outside Cloudmarsh City. Essence energy powerful until it made people feel asphyxiated gushed out.


    Everybody knew that the Immemorial Medicine Garden, which opened once every 500 years was finally opening!


    At this time, a large group of martial artists gathered at the outer-regions of the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    "You guys, look! That''s the super holy land, Dawn Heavenly Palace''s people! The one leading is their vice-palace lord, Shu Yunqing! Also, that old man beside him is known as the number one person under the Grand Yan Divine King, Ding Zhanguo! Looks like the Immemorial Medicine Garden trip this time, they are hell-bent on it!"


    "Also, over there, Heavenly Sword Sect''s vice-sect master, Sword Thirteen! I didn''t think that he actually came too! The other day, Jian Wushuang provoked Lord Qingyun Zi. As a result, he was beaten up until he was searching the ground for his teeth. Now that Sword Thirteen came, Lord Qingyun Zi will likely have huge pressure!"


    "Hiss �� The Seven Absolute City''s people came too! The Seven Absolute City''s deputy city lord, He Dajiang, is a Void Mystic Realm powerhouse too! What''s even more damnable is that the patron behind Fiendblade Mountain is precisely the Seven Absolute City! If Yue Xinping joins hands with He Dajiang to deal with Lord Qingyun Zi, the situation will be bad!"


    "Out of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, three came at once! As for Rank One Holy Land powerhouses, there are even too many to enumerate. The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening up this time is truly extraordinary! It''s just that I still feel worried about Lord Qingyun Zi. His enemies this time are far too powerful! In his present state, dealing with so many experts all at once, how to hold out?"


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening, all the major factions flocked in with great numbers. The spectacle was extremely shocking.


    Wanting to meet one of these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses was difficult normally. But today, there was quite a number the moment they appeared.


    Of course, these were still just the super holy lands'' Void Mystic experts. The people all knew that the Thundercry Divine King and Extreme Sword Divine King both came too. As for the Void Mystic powerhouses still hiding in the dark, god knows how many there were!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan brought along a group of people and finally showed up at the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s entrance area, immediately stirring up a commotion.


    His fame was too great, and his prestige in Cloudmarsh City was too high as well. Areas that he passed through, there was none who did not give sidelong glances.


    Ye Yuan appeared very warm, nodding his head to gesticulate to his worshipers, responding with a faint smile.


    Seeing the stir on this side, Jian Wushuang''s expression suddenly darkened and instinctively wanted to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    "Hold your horses, Wushuang! Our objective this time is the divine rank spirit medicines in the Immemorial Medicine Garden! We mustn''t suffer a great loss because of some small gains!" Sword Thirteen''s voice sounded out by Jian Wushuang''s ear.


    Right now at the Immemorial Medicine Garden, various forces were swarming, keeping each other in check. Nobody dared to make a move first either. The moment a great battle began, others would be like a fisherman benefiting from a snipe and clam''s tussle.


    Jian Wushuang said hatefully, "Uncle Thirteen, I just can''t take this lying down! I say, why is Ji Qingyun''s life so tenacious? Ji Canglan killed even his father, this brat is actually not dead yet! It''s also fine if he didn''t die, but on what basis is he able to obtain a divine artifact?"


    Sword Thirteen said coolly, "He carried a divine artifact and swaggered through the streets and has already been targeted by many people. He''ll be taken care of by someone who has the intent sooner or later. When we enter the Immemorial Medicine Garden, after everyone scatters, find a suitable opportunity and finish him off will do. As for now, better wait for the Immemorial Medicine Garden to open. Put your mind at ease."


    Jian Wushuang was helpless and could only nod his head.


    Over here, Yue Xinping was ready to make trouble too. He saw that the Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo beside Ye Yuan already broke through to peak divine king, and knew that Ye Yuan found those two kinds of spirit medicines through another way.


    This guy could clearly find the spirit medicines and still wanted to beat him half to death. It was definitely on purpose!


    His thought arriving here, his temper flared up at once.


    He Dajiang said coolly, "At present, the situation is messy and convoluted. You''d better not have wicked ideas anymore! If Ji Qingyun was so easy to kill, he''d have died countless over. How could he wait for your arrival?"


    The moment Yue Xinping heard, his bluster instantly weakened.


    Yeah, he thought that the Ye Yuan after reincarnating was a soft persimmon, and wanted to knead a bit.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was still a tough nut to crack, breaking off a mouthful of his teeth!


    "I got it! But after entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden, I must find an opportunity to eliminate this fellow!" Yue Xinping said hatefully.


    Right then, another group of people arrived at the horizons. Each and every one of them wore black outfits, their auras imposing.


    "I-It''s the Medicine King Hall''s people! That person in front is the Medicine King Hall''s former deputy hall master, Sun Man!" someone cried out in shock.

 1047 Not Far from Hour of Doom

    "Ever since after that massive change 20 years ago, the Medicine King Hall rarely showed face. I didn''t think that they actually came to the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time as well!"


    "There''s a good show to watch now. I wonder what kind of expression Sun Man will have when he sees Ji Qingyun."


    "These few years, the outside world basically all don''t know the Medicine King Hall''s situation. Looking at it now, Ji Canglan seems to have taken over the Medicine King Hall''s past members across-the-board! Even Sun Man, a Void Mystic Realm expert, submitted himself to Ji Canglan''s rule."


    The past Medicine King Hall, powerhouses gathered together. Ji Zhengyang and Ji Qingyun father and son''s strength in itself was unfathomable to begin with. Adding in Sun Man and Ji Canglan these people, that was how it formed a super holy land.


    But after the Ji father and son perished, where these experts belonged to became an unresolved matter. Outsiders had no knowledge of it.


    All the way until Sun Man showed face today did the Medicine King Hall display the tip of the iceberg to the world.


    The present Medicine King Hall''s strength was still incomparably terrifying!


    Disregarding a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse like Sun Man, Ji Canglan''s strength in itself was already unfathomable.


    When Ye Yuan saw Sun Man arriving, his brows furrowed slightly too.


    Ji Zhengyang and Sun Man were sworn brothers. Their relationship was incomparably solid.


    In the past, when Ye Yuan saw Sun Man, he would have to call ''Uncle Sun.'' But now, he actually submitted until Ji Canglan''s rule.


    That Ji Bingyun by his side was also Ji Zhengyang''s foster son. But now, they all betrayed the Ji father and son.


    What on earth happened in-between this?


    Sun Man clearly discovered Ye Yuan too, but his expression was incomparably cold. He said to Ji Bingyun indifferently, "Bingyun, you go and take down that traitor."


    Sun Man did not conceal anything regarding this voice. Everyone heard it clearly.


    But this result made everyone absent-minded.


    Traitor? Where did this come from?


    Ye Yuan was the Medicine King Hall''s young lord. The entire Medicine King Hall could be said to be his. How could he be the Medicine King Hall''s traitor?


    However, Sun Man continued slowly, "Everybody, the change 20 years ago truly could not be helped. Ji Qingyun this traitor viciously killed his father for the sake of the Divine Dao secret canon, the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. Fortunately, he was detected by Ji Canglan who executed him on the spot. Except, I didn''t think that this villain actually got away with deceiving everyone and fled to the Lower Realms carrying a wisp of remnant soul. Now, not only has his strength improved further, he even obtained a divine artifact. If we let him carry on growing unchecked, it will likely be a calamity for the Divine Realm!"


    The moment Sun Man''s words came out, there was a hubbub immediately.


    They never would have thought that Ye Yuan actually carried out such a crazy act.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill crept out.


    He also did not expect that the Sun Man who treated him like a real uncle in the past would actually say this sort of incisive words.


    Ye Yuan did not refute, because he knew that refuting did not have any use at all.


    The Medicine God''s Soul Canon was indeed in his hands, while the Medicine King Hall''s upper echelons formerly were all Ji Canglan''s people now.


    All disputes would appear that feeble and weak.


    Of course, actually, when the vast majority of the people heard ''Divine Dao secret canon'' and ''divine artifact,'' these two terms, they all revealed greedy looks.


    The Medicine King Hall unforeseen accident, that was the Medicine King Hall''s own affairs. It had nothing to do with the outside world. Even if Ye Yuan was really this sort of person, it had nothing to do with them too.


    However, ''Divine Dao secret canon'' and ''divine artifact,'' these two things, were different!


    Moreover, with Sun Man''s words, them taking action against Ye Yuan would even stand on the side of righteousness.


    "Ji Qingyun, I didn''t think that you''re actually such a vicious and shameless person! A traitorous villain like you who murders their own father, everyone has the right to punish!" Yue Xinping reproached furiously.


    Jian Wushuang also could not stand not being in the spotlight, so he reproached, "Ji Qingyun, you normally appear gentlemanly, now, you have nothing to say, right? Today, I''m going to carry out justice on behalf of the heaven, and exterminate you, this villain!"


    At this time, Ruan Shuangzhou and the rest behind Ye Yuan were all filled with righteous indignation.


    They knew that Ye Yuan practically got caught in a hopeless situation himself for White Light. How could this kind of person who helped his friend with his life on the line possibly murder his father?


    But Ye Yuan stopped them with a hand gesture. He just said to Ji Bingyun nonchalantly, "What are you in a daze for? Still not making a move?"


    Ji Bingyun''s face fell, and his figure moved explosively.


    Seeing Ji Bingyun take action, Jian Wushuang could not contain himself anymore and roared out, "Ji Bingyun, I''ll lend you a helping hand!"


    Yue Xinping also yelled out, "My Fiendblade Mountain cannot bear the sight of this kind of wicked people the most! Kill!"


    Right at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed across the void. Another figure suddenly charged out. It was precisely the Thundercry Divine King.


    In an instant, four mighty apex experts charged over toward Ye Yuan with a besieging momentum. That aura practically suffocated people.


    Among the four people, there were even two who were Void Mystic Realm experts. While on Ye Yuan''s side, there was only Kuang Tianming, one Void Mystic expert.


    "With this, Lord Qingyun Zi is dead for sure! Sigh �� I say, you guys, is he really this sort of villainous traitor who murders his own father?"


    "I don''t believe this! Lord Qingyun Zi is praised by the people. How can he possibly be this sort of person? It''s merely a one-sided story from that Sun Man!"


    "Sigh, no matter what, Qingyun Zi has made too many enemies! These four great experts surrounding and attacking, he has no possibility of escaping alive at all."


    Everyone was feeling sorry. These four great experts joining hands, it was virtually a certain death scenario.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a move.


    He stood with his hands behind his back as if it did not concern him.


    Kuang Tianming did not have the slightest hesitation and directly clashed with the Thundercry Divine King. The two of them were sworn enemies.


    Right then, Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang, the two people erupted with an aura that made people astounded, making the three people who were currently rushing over greatly astonished.


    "Divine King domain! These two people both broke through to the realm of Void Mystic? This �� How is this possible?"


    "This is also too freakish, right? A few days ago, these two people were still ordinary deity realms and needed to use the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing method before they can unleash the combat strength of peak divine kings. It''s only been a few days, and they actually both broke through to the realm of Void Mystic!"


    "Originally I thought that Qingyun Zi was a soft persimmon. I didn''t think that their side actually produced two additional Void Mystic powerhouses all at once! With this, wouldn''t Qingyun Zi become the number one force?"


    Ji Bingyun trio''s figures stopped abruptly, forcefully stopping in midair.


    Facing two mighty Void Mystic experts, the three of them were not enough at all!


    "What? Weren''t you still pretty haughty just now? Saying you wanted to kill His Excellency? Why all shriveled up now?" Jiang Taicang said with a cold smile.


    "His Excellency has deep sentiments and fierce loyalty. You all actually slandered him with words! Deserve death!" Wu Luo said, seething with killing intent.


    Ji Bingyun was still alright, but Jian Wushuang and Yue Xinping''s faces were both awful like they had eaten a fly.


    They thought that finding a helper this time, they could tyrannize Ye Yuan properly. They did not expect that Ye Yuan summoned two mighty Void Mystic experts with a wave of a hand.


    With this, they neither advance nor retreat and actually froze there.


    As for the Thundercry Divine King''s side, seeing the sudden change over here, his expression changed greatly too. Lightning flashed, and he actually disappeared with even greater speed than when he came!


    Ye Yuan looked at Sun Man from far away and said coolly, "Uncle Sun, this is my last time calling you like this! I hope that you don''t let me find out you had anything to do with my father''s death. Otherwise �� your hour of doom won''t be far!"

 1048 The Immemorial Medicine Garden Opening

    Ye Yuan''s threat made Sun Man''s expression change.


    He gave a cold snort and said, "You villainous traitor, you still want to mislead the public? If not for Canglan having important business to attend to lately, he''ll definitely execute you summarily today!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whatever you say. But my words earlier, you have got to remember them."


    As he said, he swept past the faces of the Medicine King Hall''s people one by one, saying in a cold voice, "You all, if there''s one, it counts as one. If you were really compelled by Ji Canglan to submit to him, I don''t blame you guys. But if I discover that any one of you was his accomplice �� I, Ji Qingyun, swear here, to definitely bathe the Medicine King Hall in blood in the future!"


    Ye Yuan''s words contained an icy intent of slaughter, making everyone feel a chill when they heard.


    Everyone all sensed his determination!


    The resentment pent-up in the heart for these 20 years, Ye Yuan finally poured it out, making everyone''s faces change.


    Such genuine sentiments were able to move people the most.


    He wanted to avenge his father, It was naturally impossible to be someone who murders his own father.


    "Like I said, Qingyun Zi is famed for being loyal, how can he possibly do this sort of treacherous thing like murdering his father?"


    "Qingyun Zi''s words earlier were absolutely from the bottom of his heart! Ji Canglan plotted to harm the Ji father and son. Now, he actually even wants to sling mud at Qingyun Zi. Truly shameless!"


    "Qingyun Zi hates evil as if it''s his enemy and had once eradicated many wicked villains. How could he do such a thing himself?"


    Hearing a series of subdued whispers, Sun Man''s face fell slightly. He did not think that the situation he operated painstakingly was actually broken by a sentence from Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan''s strength was lacking, he could trample Ye Yuan to death without any scruple. But sadly, Ye Yuan created two Void Mystic experts overnight. This was simply something appalling to the ears.


    Counting in Kuang Tianming, Ye Yuan''s side with three mighty Void Mystic experts was sufficient to contend with any faction.


    Actually, even Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo themselves were also akin to have fallen into cloud and mist right now. This sort of feeling was seriously too wonderful.


    The two of their talents were abnormally high. But to talk about breaking through to Void Mystic Realm, it was still a little lacking.


    But the arcane insight rank Pure Source Infusion Divine Pill that Ye Yuan refined punched through that layer of windowpane paper without a hitch!


    These few days, Ye Yuan was in closed-seclusion inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Laying down a powerful isolating array formation, he finally refined arcane insight rank Pure Source Infusion Divine Pills.


    Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo would never have dreamed that not only did the two of them completely recover their strength, they even went a step further, breaking through to Void Mystic Realm!


    Although just broken through to the realm of Void Mystic, their strengths were vastly inferior compared to even Yue Xinping.


    But Void Mystic Realm was Void Mystic Realm. This was the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most existence!


    Right then, an intense tremor occurred ahead. Violent essence energy burst forth like floodwater breaking a dam.


    The ancient grand array which sealed the Immemorial Medicine Garden finally opened up a crack.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden was finally opening!


    With this, everyone could not contain themselves, flooding over into the Immemorial Medicine Garden like tidewater.


    Sun Man gave a cold snort and said to Ji Bingyun, "Let''s go!"


    Yue Xinping shot Ye Yuan a hateful glare and said, "Brat, consider yourself lucky! Let''s go!"


    In a blink, tens of thousands of martial artists flooded into the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    "Milord, are we just letting them go like this? We have three great Void Mystic experts currently. Are we still afraid of these bastards?" Jiang Taicang said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Sun Man''s strength, I''m clearest about it. If he wasn''t wary of others benefiting from the struggle and wanting to preserve their strength to enter the Immemorial Medicine Garden as well, with the two of your strength, it''s completely not enough for him to be wary of."


    Jiang Taicang could not help choking up as he said in disbelief, "I, Old Jiang, am in any case a Void Mystic powerhouse too. It''s not to the extent of not even having the strength to retaliate, right?"


    Kuang Tianming by the side said coolly, "If I wasn''t injured, killing the two of you won''t expend much strength. But my strength is inadequate to look at in front of Sun Man all the same!"


    When Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the two of them, heard it, they could not help sucking in a cold breath.


    Initially, that bit of smugness because of breaking through to the realm of Void Mystic was instantly struck down until it was severely bruised.


    The realm of Void Mystic similarly had the distinction of superiority or inferiority. But it did not have specific divisions of realms. The relative superiority or inferiority in strength was completely based on the martial artist''s own comprehensions toward Heavenly Dao.


    Sun Man was once the Medicine King Hall''s number two expert, his strength second only to Hall Master Ji Zhengyang. His strength could be imagined.


    Martial artists who had just entered the realm of Void Mystic completely could not stir up any waves in front of him.


    Ao Qian also let out an emotional sigh as he said, "This old man not emerging for 20 thousand years, I didn''t expect that strength of martial artists these days already shook this old man off by a great deal!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You don''t need to belittle your capabilities either. When we find a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass, even if you don''t reach the height of the Ten Great Divine Kings, you absolutely won''t be the least bit inferior compared to Sun Man too."


    Speaking of this, Ao Qian also had a look of anticipation as he said, "Honestly speaking, seeing these two punks'' medicinal effects, I''m really craning my neck in anticipation of the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill, I can''t refine it yet in my current state. Need the divine soul realm to improve further for it to work. Alright, let''s go in too."


    In this short while, there was already a large batch of martial artists that flooded into the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Ye Yuan''s party was already half a beat slow.


    ...


    Walking into the Immemorial Medicine Garden, sensing the abnormally thick essence energy undulations immediately gave people a feeling of being refreshed in mind and spirit.


    Violent essence energy instantly rushed into all of the limbs and bones in Ye Yuan''s body, making him feel like his thoughts were incomparably smooth.


    "Really worth of being the Immemorial Medicine Garden. No wonder it can inoculate so many natural treasures!" Wu Luo said with an emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head when he heard that and said, "The Immemorial Medicine Garden has already existed for countless years and already had countless martial artists enter inside before too. But the regions that these people truly reached were likely less than one-thousandth of the Immemorial Medicine Garden! The truly good stuff, with the current Divine Realm martial artists'' strength, they can''t go in at all!"


    Ao Qian said, "Milord, they all said that divine rank spirit medicines are coming into being this time. Could it be true?"


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden''s abnormal activities this time attracted a large batch of experts over. Just the super holy lands, four houses came.


    Such a lineup did not exist when the Immemorial Medicine Garden opened in the past.


    Probably only when divine rank spirit medicines came into being, could it draw so many powerful factions too, right?


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly when he heard that and said, "Divine rank spirit medicine, even if they obtain them, who has the ability to refine out medicinal pills? Furthermore �� even if those few came, they might not be able to gain any advantages at the hands of divine rank spirit medicines either, right? What''s truly terrifying inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden are not those desolate beasts, but those spirit medicines that became spirits!"


    When everyone heard Ye Yuan''s words, their expressions all became slightly apprehensive.


    These few people were all very old figures already. But this version, it was still their first time hearing.


    Except, calculating based on Ye Yuan''s age, it should be his first time entering here too, right? Why would he know so clearly?


    "Milord, then �� where should we go now?" Jiang Taicang asked.As mentioned in a footnote before, in Chinese mythology, plants and animals that live for a long time >1000 years, become demon spirits and can take on human form.

 1049 Purple Evil Skygloom

    The Immemorial Medicine Garden was very large. Several tens of thousands of martial artists went it. Very quickly, they dispersed.


    Those super holy lands'' experts were long gone already. They simply turned their noses up at the spirit medicines in the vicinity and immediately hastened to the divine rank spirit medicines in the deep regions.


    Ye Yuan did not stop either. Their party was going to look for a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass first.


    And a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass was impossible to find in the outer-regions.


    Rumble! Rumble!


    Ruan Shuangzhou and Ao Qian, the two of them each took care of a Tier 9 desolate beast. Ao Qian said with a frown, "We''ve just reached the 30 thousand years region. These desolate beasts'' strengths are actually already this powerful! The Immemorial Medicine Garden opening this time is truly quite extraordinary! Could it be that �� there really are divine rank spirit medicines coming into being?"


    "Yeah. I''ve come to the Immemorial Medicine Garden before in the past. But the strength of the 30 thousand year region''s desolate beasts at that time were not this powerful!" Ruan Shuangzhou said as well.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden''s regions were calculated using the age of spirit medicines.


    Regions below 100 thousand years old, 10 thousand years per rank. The strength of the desolate beasts would become stronger along with the increase in age.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden''s desolate beasts, some were present in the Divine Realm, some were not available in the Divine Realm. But there was one thing, although the strengths of the desolate beasts here were extremely powerful, they would never take human form.


    Furthermore, desolate beasts were bloodthirsty by nature. As long as they saw humans, they would launch attacks. There was not the least bit of intellect to speak of at all; it was completely different from the outside word''s demon race. Hence, that was why they were called desolate beasts.


    With the strength of Ye Yuan''s party, these desolate beasts in the outer-regions naturally could not enter their sights. But they could sense the desolate beasts'' increase in strength.


    Dividing spirit medicines according to grade, it was divided into a total of nine grades. But along with the increase in age, the medicinal effect of the spirit medicines would continue building up.


    Tier 9 spirit medicines would not advance ranks. But along with the increase in age, their medicinal effects would also increase to a rather terrifying level.


    It was just that these spirit medicines were too rare. It virtually resided in a state of extinction in the outside world. One would only have an opportunity to find them in this Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    Of course, tremendous risks came along with it too.


    Ye Yuan also frowned and said, "Looks like the difficulty level of us wanting to find a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass will likely be quite a bit difficult! In a while, when we reach the 100 thousand years region, everybody be more careful. Make sure not to provoke those desolate beasts!"


    100 thousand years was a dividing crest. Reaching the 100 thousand years region, the strength of the desolate beasts practically already reached the level of Void Mystic experts!


    Going further in, the degree of danger would rise by more than several times.


    But now, the desolate beasts'' strength as a whole all went up a step. Once they ran into desolate beasts in the 100 thousand years region, the consequences were too dreadful to contemplate.


    Everyone all nodded when they heard this, having solemn looks on their faces.


    The party was cautious. Using three days'' time, they finally entered the 100 thousand years region.


    "Heart End Grass normally grows in the cracks of rocks. Let''s head into that valley to search," Ye Yuan said and pointed to a direction.


    In terms of mastery over spirit medicines, these former big shots could not catch up to Ye Yuan even if they whipped their horses. There was naturally no objections.


    The party followed step by step and walked into a valley, and started searching.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled and he said, "That �� That is Purple Evil Skygloom! A 100 thousand-year-old Purple Evil Skygloom! Haha, our luck is seriously too good!"


    Far away, a stalk of purple-colored spirit medicine was very conspicuous. Fragrance spilled over. One look, and it was clear that it was not an ordinary item.


    This place was the 100 thousand years region. No need to think and one would also know that it was good stuff.


    Although this place was called the 100 thousand years region, it did not mean that there were spirit medicines all over the place here. On the contrary, the land here was vast, and the medicine scarce. Finding a stalk of 100 thousand-year-old spirit medicine was also not much different from winning the lottery.


    A single misstep and one would even be chased down by desolate beasts endlessly.


    Everyone was perplexed and asked Ye Yuan, "Milord, what is the Purple Evil Skygloom?"


    Tier 9 spirit medicines were extremely rare. Moreover, along with the difference in age, changes would even occur to their form.


    Let alone martial artists, even many Alchemy Emperor experts could not recognize at all when they saw some rarely-seen spirit medicines.


    Ye Yuan was rather agitated as he said, "The Purple Evil Skygloom is a kind of extremely rare Tier 9 spirit medicines. It carries a portion of Heavenly Dao laws naturally, which is extremely hard to form! A 100 thousand-year-old Purple Evil Skygloom can make Void Mystic experts advance a step further!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan say finish, everyone trembled all over!


    Especially Ao Qian and Kuang Tianming, they were both already veteran Void Mystic powerhouses. They were deeply aware of how difficult it was for Void Mystic experts to improve even a little.


    But, with this Purple Evil Skygloom, just swallowing it could let Void Mystic experts break through their original strength. This was simply a heaven-defying treasure!


    "M-Milord, i-is this whatever Purple Evil Skygloom really that incredible?" Ao Qian said rather disbelievingly.


    Ye Yuan was quite excited as he said, "This is only just the effects of swallowing the spirit medicines! I saw before a pill formula in an ancient record. One of the core medicines in this pill formula is the Purple Evil Skygloom. If refined it into a pill, just think how powerful its medicinal effects will be?"


    Kuang Tianming drew a deep breath and said, "Then still waiting for what, Younger Brother? Let''s quickly go and harvest it!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and stepped forward.


    He carried some agitation and walked over towards the Purple Evil Skygloom.


    "Roar!"


    Everyone had just walked halfway when a terrifying roar sounded out, making everyone''s expressions change.


    An enormous bull-shaped desolate beast walked out from the depths of the valley. That aura, even when a Void Mystic powerhouse like Jiang Taicang saw it, he also shuddered.


    This large bull was practically three people high and over a hundred feet long. Each step it took, the earth seemed to be quaking.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said, "Not good, this is Wilde Earth Bull! Its strength absolutely doesn''t lose out to Void Mystic Realm powerhouses!"


    "This �� Milord, he already blocked the Purple Evil Skygloom. A-Are we still going over or not?" Jiang Taicang said with an ugly expression.


    Ye Yuan rebuked, "You go over if you want to! I don''t want to die! Quickly run! Still in a daze for what?"


    While talking, that Wilde Earth Bull already accelerated and galloped over.


    Before the bull arrived, that terrifying impact force already arrived in front of everybody!


    Seeing this sort of power and momentum, how could Jiang Taicang still dare to be concerned about what Purple Evil Skygloom. He turned his butt around and ran.


    One should not simply look at how the Wilde Earth Bull''s size was massive; its movements were actually incomparably agile. In a blink of an eye, it caught up to Ye Yuan and the others.


    Jiang Taicang saw that they could not escape and yelled out, "Wu Luo, fight it out with him! Retreat while fighting! Cover His Excellency out of the valley!"


    Wu Luo also understood without many words. The two people''s divine king domains opened fully and directly clashed with the Wilde Earth Bull.


    Rumble!


    A tremendous impact actually directly knocked Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang, the two of them, flying!


    This Wilde Earth Bull''s strength was too terrifying.


    Wu Luo and Jiang Taicang fought as they retreated, very quickly covering Ye Yuan out of this stretch of valley. The Wilde Earth Bull still did not have its fill and directly followed and charged out.


    When Ye Yuan''s party and the Wilde Earth Bull all disappeared, a figure slowly appeared and came right beside the Purple Evil Skygloom. A hint of a smug smile curled at the corners of his mouth.


    "A bunch of fools. Busying about for half a day, didn''t it still benefited me, Wu Yuanqiao?"


    This person was precisely the Thundercry Divine King, Wu Yuanqiao, who was hiding at that place all along!

 1050 No Discussion About Scamming You

    What the Thundercry Divine King was most adept in, apart from lightning-style cultivation methods, was this concealment and tracking art.


    Along the way, he had been following Ye Yuan''s party all along, wanting to fish in troubled waters.


    If Ye Yuan they all encountered great danger, he did not mind supplementing a knife from the back. If Ye Yuan they all found good stuff, he could also beat them to the draw.


    He did not recognize this Purple Evil Skygloom either. But Ye Yuan''s words earlier made him endlessly moved.


    Any Void Mystic expert also probably would not be unmoved hearing Ye Yuan''s words.


    He was still planning on how to cut in just now. He did not expect a Wilde Earth Bull to suddenly charge out.


    "Truly obtained it without any effort at all! This fine item, I''ll accept it!"


    Wu Yuanqiao was wildly ecstatic in his heart, reaching his hand out, wanting to pluck the Purple Evil Skygloom.


    Right then, a purple light flashed from the Purple Evil Skygloom. Wu Yuanqiao''s expression changed, and he instinctively wanted to shrink back.


    However, it was already too late ��


    The purple light actually pierced through his essence energy shield incomparably swift and fiercely, stabbing him!


    In an instant, a wave of black aura followed along the wound, wanting to creep upwards.


    Venomous!


    Wu Yuanqiao''s expression changed drastically, and he frenziedly urged his emperor qi, wanting to force the venom out of the wound.


    However �� it was not over yet!


    Rumble!


    An enormous snake shot up to the sky from beneath the earth, opened its gaping maws, and bit down at Wu Yuanqiao.


    How could Wu Yuanqiao still bother about forcing out the venom? He instantly opened up his divine king domain. Slashing his hand, a bolt of lightning charged towards the massive snake.


    Rumble!


    The massive snake also spewed out a violent essence energy attack, directly clashing together with Wu Yuanqiao.


    Under an attack, they were actually evenly-matched!


    That enormous snake seemed to have went nuts. It continuously unleashed attacks at Wu Yuanqiao. The one snake and one human started a great battle in the valley.


    Wu Yuanqiao was incomparably alarmed in his heart. This massive snake''s strength was actually very nearly the same as his.


    His expression became ugly. He could distinctly sense that the venom from the wound earlier were creeping into his body again.


    Right then, several figures rose and dipped, and appeared in the valley.


    They were none other than precisely Ye Yuan and the others who had just left the valley.


    Wu Yuanqiao was currently in the heat of battle. But the appearance of Ye Yuan''s group could not hide from his ears and eyes at all. This made him instantly have a foreboding premonition!


    "Huhu, truly touching! Thundercry, I really don''t know how to thank you. This Heaven Devouring Python is the Purple Evil Skygloom''s guardian beast. I was just fretting over what to do, but you lured him away. You''re such a good guy, this Ye is shedding tears of gratitude!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were said very sincerely, but the teasing look on his face was displayed completely.


    Hearing these words, how could Wu Yuanqiao still not know that he was duped?


    Turned out that this guy had long known that he had been following them all along. That was why he set up such a play, making him fall into the trap himself!


    But he was already very careful this time and followed very far away the whole time. Moreover, his concealment and tracking art was unleashed to the limits.


    He was confident that it was sufficient to hide from Void Mystic experts, but why could he not even hide from a First Level Dao Profound fellow?


    Also, what was the deal with that Wilde Earth Bull?


    Could it be that this Ji Qingyun could even communicate with this desolate beast to cooperate with him and act out a show?


    Even if Ji Qingyun had this ability, there was also no time to go and do this!


    "The moment Wilde Earth Bulls see Forest Joy Grass, it will go crazy. Still remember that stalk of spirit medicine I plucked at the 70 thousand years region? That is a Forest Joy Grass! Now, that Wilde Earth Bull has already chased my clone out far away. Oh, your concealment and tracking art is indeed very impressive, but sorry about that. I recently had some breakthroughs in heart realm again. The level of skill you have is not enough!"


    Ye Yuan seemed to know what Wu Yuanqiao wanted to ask and directly answered him altogether.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words far away, Wu Yuanqiao nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    His aura was chaotic, and he nearly got swept by the Heaven Devouring Python''s tail.


    Anger attacking the heart, that venom already crept up his arm following his blood.


    He was incapable of speaking currently and could only listen to Ye Yuan rattle on non-stop.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Purple Evil Skygloom can''t be picked like that. You need to pluck it with the power of flames, then seal it using a jade bottle. This Purple Evil Skygloom''s poison is very formidable, Don''t look at how you''re a Void Mystic expert; if the venom flow to the heart channels, your cultivation realm will fall drastically even if you don''t die! If I were you, I''d hurry and find a place to enter closed-seclusion and force the poison out right now. Otherwise, nobody can save you! Oh, don''t think about redirecting the troubled waters. You touched the Purple Evil Skygloom, the Heaven Devouring Python will keep chasing you down. As for whether or not you can shake him off before the poison kicks in, it will depend on your luck," Ye Yuan said unhurriedly.


    "Puu!" Wu Yuanqiao finally could not resist spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    Ye Yuan was like a roundworm in his stomach, completely aware of what he was thinking.


    He did indeed had the idea of redirecting the troubled waters just now. But Ye Yuan actually saw through him with one glance.


    Furthermore, hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Wu Yuanqiao''s entire person went cold.


    This poison was actually so formidable?


    At this point, rather believe that it exists than not!


    Thinking up to here, how could Wu Yuanqiao still dare to stay? He opened up his divine king domain and suddenly erupted with a shocking attack, immediately blasting the Heaven Devouring Python far away.


    He immediately did not dare to stay either, directly urging his movement technique to the limits and fled for his life.


    The Heaven Devouring Python seemed to have been enraged by Wu Yuanqiao''s blow and directly dashed at full speed towards outside of the valley. Its speed was actually not the slightest bit slow!


    Seeing this scene, everyone behind Ye Yuan was speechless.


    Just earlier, they were also all kept in the dark by Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan use a clone to lure the Wilde Earth Bull away, each and every one of them even chuckled inwardly.


    When they saw Wu Yuanqiao being attacked by the Heaven Devouring Python, they all had blank looks, uncertain about what happened.


    Only when Ye Yuan explained clearly did they come to a realization.


    While currently, the most agitated one was none other than the Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming.


    He and Wu Yuanqiao were sworn enemies. These few years, there was no lack of being hunted down by him. Yet, Wu Yuanqiao, this fellow''s concealment and tracking art was extremely brilliant. Kuang Tianming could not shake him off no matter what.


    He knew that Ye Yuan doing all this today was all for the sake of helping him take revenge. How could he not be moved?


    "Younger Brother, you �� What do you want Elder Brother to say about you? This great gift is seriously too unexpected!" Kuang Tianming said agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This guy has been following behind us the entire time harboring malicious intentions. It just so happened to have given me an opportunity to help Elder Brother take revenge. Hehe, us brothers don''t have to say this sort of distant words."


    Kuang Tianming nodded and said, "Alright, us brothers won''t regard each other as strangers! When Elder Brother heals from my injuries, I''ll accompany you along to charge up to the Medicine King Hall! I don''t believe that Ji Canglan this guy can cover the sky with one hand!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Even if Elder Brother doesn''t say, I''ll also invite you along! But, the urgent matter on hand, let''s better treat your injuries."


    "Milord, why do I feel like you''re very familiar with this place?" Jiang Taicang suddenly asked a sentence absentmindedly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Because I came here before!"

 1051 Bringing Disaster to the Fishes in the Moa

    "Milord, you �� you came to the Immemorial Medicine Garden before? This �� How is this possible? Jiang Taicang could not help opening his eyes wide, as he said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan''s past, the people present were already all aware.


    Counting in his years in this previous life, Ye Yuan was at the very most also just a little over 500 years old right now.


    While the Immemorial Medicine Garden itself opened every 500 years. How could Ye Yuan have possibly come in before?


    Not just Jiang Taicang, even the others also looked at Ye Yuan with doubtful looks.


    Ye Yuan explained with a smile, "What''s hard to explain about this? You guys don''t forget about my previous life''s identity. The last time the Immemorial Medicine Garden opened, I was merely 11 or 12 years old. But at that time, I already set the alchemy path as the target of my lifetime aspiration. Father personally brought me into the Immemorial Medicine Garden before. It was just that that one time, nobody knew at all."


    Everyone exchanged glances. Only now did they know that there was still such a thing.


    When alchemists cultivated to a peak realm, their combat power was not the slightest bit inferior compared to martial artists. Their divine soul attacks, even Void Mystic experts felt endless headaches too.


    Otherwise, what right did Ji Zhengyang, an alchemist, had to set up a such a large super holy land single-handedly? And also based on what to suppress an apex expert like Sun Man?


    With Ji Zhengyang''s strength, stealthily bringing Ye Yuan into the Immemorial Medicine Garden, it was not surprising that nobody discovered it at all.


    No wonder Ye Yuan was able to find this valley. Turns out that he had long known that this place had a Purple Evil Skygloom and also knew that this place had a Wilde Earth Bull and Heaven Devouring Python, and specially dug a large pit for Wu Yuanqiao to jump.


    Everyone could not help pitying Wu Yuanqiao. This guy thought himself to be clever, but from the start, he was already schemed against by Ye Yuan.


    Kuang Tianming sighed with admiration as he said, "Younger Brother, I really didn''t discover in the past, when you play tricks, it''s not perfunctory at all!"


    Kuang Tianming and Ye Yuan were considered old friends already. But only today, did he discover that the current Ye Yuan was already not the Ji Qingyun back then.


    The previous life''s Ji Qingyun just studied the alchemy path blindly and exceedingly rarely had his mind wander. But the present Ye Yuan was decisive in going for the kill and coped with all matters with schemes. Others virtually could not gain any bit of advantage at his hands.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Merely forced by the circumstances! In the past, I wasn''t willing to have these schemes. But after reincarnating, my strength is too weak. Not having some schemes, it will probably be very hard to survive until today."


    Kuang Tianming''s expression became stern, and he nodded his head.


    Although only 20 years had passed, these 20 years to Ye Yuan, he probably experienced a great deal!


    Ye Yuan slowly came in front of the Purple Evil Skygloom and directly chopped it off with a fire-blade. The Purple Evil Skygloom was felled at the sound of it. Ye Yuan guided with essence energy, drawing it into a jade bottle prepared long ago.


    "Milord, is this Purple Evil Skygloom really as miraculous as you said?" Jiang Taicang said curiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just bluffing that fellow! If you really swallow this thing, it will be weird if you aren''t poisoned to death! How can it be that easy for Void Mystic experts to want to break through? Although this Purple Evil Skygloom naturally carries Heavenly Dao laws, it''s extremely limited too. If it''s refined into a pill, it''s really able to help Void Mystic experts comprehend Heavenly Dao. It''s just that the other few core medicines are similarly very hard to source. Unless this Purple Evil Skygloom can grow to a million years old!"


    The moment Kuang Tianming heard, he could not help laughing as he said, "You brat, huhu, I''m really convinced by you! Wu Yuanqiao that guy probably even has the will to die right now, right?"


    ...


    "Puhwark ��"


    Wu Yuanqiao sprinted wildly. He was bitten by a Heaven Devouring Python.


    A moment of carelessness, and he was struck by the Heaven Devouring Python again. Now, he was already severely wounded and dying.


    The Heaven Devouring Python''s strength was around his level to begin with. At this time, the Purple Evil Skygloom poison already gradually spread. When one aspect was weaker, the others would be stronger. He was completely not the Heaven Devouring Python''s match anymore.


    At this time, he could only flee for his life. But the faster he ran, the shorter the time taken for the poison to flare up.


    This Purple Evil Skygloom''s poison was truly formidable. Even with his Void Mystic Realm emperor qi, it still could not stop its corrosion.


    Currently, he was already seething with hatred towards Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Except, he knew that if the Heaven Devouring Python continued pursuing like this, he would have no chance at all to go and take revenge.


    Right then, Wu Yuanqiao suddenly saw that there was a group of people ahead and was immediately overjoyed.


    This was his final stalk of life-saving straw!


    Hence, he mustered up essence energy and sprinted over there frenziedly.


    "H-Help!" Wu Yuanqiao used the last of his strength to yell out.


    Over here, the Seven Absolute City''s deputy city lord, He Dajiang''s brows furrowed as he said, "Who is it? To actually draw over such a powerful desolate beast?"


    The Yue Xinping by his side strained his eyes to look into the distance and said with a frown, "That movement technique flows like lightning. It should be the Thundercry Divine King, Wu Yuanqiao! Brother He, he seems to be crying for help!"


    He Dajiang said indifferently, "No need to worry about him. This guy isn''t some good person either. Save us the trouble!"


    But Yue Xinping said with knitted brows, "This guy seems to have suffered serious injuries! Although this desolate beast is powerful, with his strength, it shouldn''t be to the extent of getting into such a mess, right? Not good, this guy is heading over to our side, he wants to redirect the troubled waters!"


    He Dajiang''s expression darkened too, dousing Wu Yuanqiao in a torrent of abuse in his heart.


    He did not know that while the Heaven Devouring Python seemed violent, it would not attack them at all.


    Seeing Wu Yuanqiao head over in this direction, they even thought that they could not escape, and could only take action to deal with the Heaven Devouring Python.


    He Dajiang''s expression became intent. With a flash, he already arrived before the Heaven Devouring Python and said with a cold snort, "Vile beast, scram further away for this old man!"


    The Heaven Devouring Python only wanted to pursue Wu Yuanqiao wholeheartedly. I did not expect that someone actually dared to block its path. It immediately roared and attacked He Dajiang.


    He Dajiang''s face fell, and he said, "Vile beast, courting death!"


    Only to see his aura release fully. A terrifying divine king domain instantly expanded out.


    A light and fleeting palm smacked out. It was only to hear a bang, sending the gigantic Heaven Devouring Python out far away.


    "Roar!"


    The Heaven Devouring Python repeatedly cried out. Its massive body squirmed wantonly in the air, terrifying to the extreme.


    Suddenly, He Dajiang''s expression changed, and he said, "Not good, quickly leave this place!"


    Just as he was talking, that Heaven Devouring Python suddenly opened his massive maws wide. A large cloud of green-colored smoke sprayed out from its mouth.


    When the Seven Absolute City''s people saw the situation, their expressions all changed greatly. Each and every one of them displayed their movement techniques, fleeing desperately for their lives.


    This green fog was a highly toxic thing with one glance, how could they dare to touch?


    Indeed, places that the green fog passed through, flowers and grass withered completely. The whole process was incomparably toxic.


    In a blink of an eye, there were disciples from Seven Absolute City and Fiendblade Mountain whose strengths were slightly weaker collapsing onto the ground.


    "Vile beast, seeking death!"


    He Dajiang could not help flying into a great rage and suddenly smacked a palm out!


    This palm, the power seemed to be several times greater compared to that palm from before!


    Rumble!


    The Heaven Devouring Python was directly smacked out a hundred thousand feet away, collapsing onto the ground and started spasming.


    The power of He Dajiang''s one palm was actually daunting to the extreme!


    "Hurry up and leave this area! Take care not to be infected by the toxic gas! I''ll go and slay this fiend!" He Dajiang shouted out and charged over towards the Heaven Devouring Python.


    Swoosh ��


    The Heaven Devouring Python that was originally still twitching on the ground actually came back to life and directly escaped into the distance.

 1052 Working in Cahoots

    He Dajiang also did not expect that this Heaven Devouring Python was actually this resistant to a beating. That bit just now was actually just feigning death.


    It was already too late to want to pursue again.


    At present, they had already entered the 100 thousand years region. If he left rashly, it would be very easy for the main unit to encounter the attacks of desolate beasts.


    Helpless, he could only watch the Heaven Devouring Python make a clean getaway.


    Returning to count the disciples, He Dajiang immediately flared up with rage.


    The Heaven Devouring Python''s cloud of poisonous smog earlier actually directly poisoned several dozens disciples of the two great factions to death. It could be said to be heavy losses.


    Among these disciples, there was quite a number of elite disciples that he specially brought out this time to temper themselves. He did not think that before even entering the dangerous regions, they actually died just like that bafflingly.


    Thinking up to here, his fury directly turned onto Wu Yuanqiao.


    Looking at Wu Yuanqiao again, his entire face already became a pale-purple color. Especially his lips, it was even blackish-purple!


    "Brother He, this matter �� it''s all that Ji Qingyun''s fault! May �� I be permitted to force out the poison and treat my injuries first?"


    Wu Yuanqiao already almost could not speak anymore. He could only use emperor qi to guard his heart channels at this time to prevent immediate death from the poison flaring up. As for the rest, he could only slowly figure it out again.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that He Dajiang could let him off.


    When He Dajiang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said, "You went to provoke that Ji Qingyun?"


    Wu Yuanqiao nodded his head weakly and briefly recounted the entire sequence of events. He said with a sigh, "I didn''t think that this brat''s strength is measly right now, but he''s actually so troublesome as well!"


    He Dajiang and Yue Xinping exchanged a glance, both revealing a thick look of apprehension.


    Although Ji Qingyun only had First Level Dao Profound strength at the moment, it seemed like he was even harder to tangle with compared to his previous life!


    In his past life, although his status was extremely high, he wasn''t so terrifyingly scheming. But the Ji Qingyun in this life, his mentality was clearly exceedingly mature already.


    "Brother He, as long as you let me force out the poison and treat my injuries, I, Wu Yuanqiao, am willing to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, to lend a helping hand to your Seven Absolute City inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden. All of the spirit medicines that I obtain will all belong to the Seven Absolute City!" Wu Yuanqiao gasped for air as he said.


    This was already Wu Yuanqiao''s final chip. This trip to the Immemorial Medicine Garden, he originally came with a gloating expression. But now, he had utterly stumbled.


    And all of this was all thanks to Ye Yuan!


    He was already not thinking about other things now. He was only thinking of taking revenge on Ye Yuan.


    Wu Yuanqiao knew that the Seven Absolute City''s opponents this time were many. Divine Rank spirit medicines coming into being, these few major forces were bound to unfurl an intense slaughter.


    An additional Void Mystic expert holding down the fort, the Seven Absolute City''s chances of victory would clearly be much greater.


    Sure enough, hearing Wu Yuanqiao''s words, the killing intent in He Dajiang''s eyes faded away considerably.


    Indeed, the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s commotion this time was too great. None of these major factions would let such an opportunity slip by.


    At that time, when divine rank spirit medicines came into being, they would definitely get into a free-for-all fight. If Wu Yuanqiao could swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, it could be taken into consideration.


    Wu Yuanqiao was an itinerant cultivator, no sect, no faction. Joining the Seven Absolute City''s camp did not have much burden either.


    "Fine. If you can help this seat obtain divine rank spirit medicines, the matter this time will be dropped at that!" He Dajiang said in a cold voice.


    Wu Yuanqiao nodded his head feebly and started to purge the poison to treat his injuries.


    His condition, even swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath was enough to choke on.


    Void Mystic experts were indeed incomparably powerful. That Purple Evil Skygloom''s poison, even if divine king experts were hit by it, it was certain death too.


    But with the passage of time, Wu Yuanqiao forcefully forced out most of the poison.


    "Ji Qingyun, if I don''t avenge this grudge, I, Wu Yuanqiao, am not a human!" Wu Yuanqiao slowly stood up and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said.


    He had become famous for many years. Ever since stepping into Void Mystic, he had yet to suffer such a great loss before. This time, he nearly lost even his small life. How could he not hate?


    Yue Xinping shot Wu Yuanqiao a glance rather sympathetically, thinking to himself that the loss he suffered at Ji Qingyun there was seriously nothing compared to Wu Yuanqiao.


    ...


    After Ye Yuan collected the Purple Evil Skygloom, he walked even deeper into that valley.


    The group of people following behind Ye Yuan was endlessly shocked. Ever since after scamming Wu Yuanqiao, their party no longer ran into desolate beasts.


    Only then did Ao Qian and the others came to a realization. Turned out that the desolate beasts they ran into along the way were all intentional by Ye Yuan. The goal was in order to beguile Wu Yuanqiao.


    Ye Yuan was completely traveling the path with ease and knew this place well. This 100 thousand years region, he simply knew it like the palm of his hand!


    "Milord, you''re simply cheating here! Why do I feel like you''re just like in your own backyard within this Immemorial Medicine Garden?" Jiang Taicang said in shock.


    The others did not speak, but look at the expressions, they were roughly thinking the same as Jiang Taicang.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "My father was the Divine Realm''s strongest alchemist, not one of! Each time the Immemorial Medicine Garden opened, he would enter inside and was already thoroughly familiar with this place long ago. That year, when I came in with him, I was only playing a supporting role by the side, and pretty much memorized the terrain here while I was at it."


    When everyone heard, they all sucked in a cold breath.


    Ye Yuan said it casually, but the terrain inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden was incomparably convoluted. Moreover, array formations revolved around inside. Wanting to remember all of the terrain features was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Back then, he, an 11 or 12 years old brat, actually had such remarkable memory, this was simply something inconceivable!


    Forget about 11 or 12 years old, even they right now could not remember it either!


    This guy in front of them was simply freakish without limits!


    "But Milord, since you''re so familiar with this place, why not harvest away all of the spirit medicines? Disregarding other places, just these 100 thousand-year-old spirit medicines, bringing them out are all priceless treasures!" Jiang Taicang said with a greedy look.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard that and said, "To alchemists, spirit medicines are life. But draining the pond to catch all of the fish, this sort of thing goes against natural laws. If one really does it, one will suffer heavenly punishment. Back then, Father bringing me in here was primarily in order to let me familiarize with these spirit medicines'' medicinal properties and experience it firsthand a little. As for harvesting them away, that''s a big no-no."


    "There''s still this reasoning?" Jiang Taicang said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Spirit medicines are born from heaven and earth. The more powerful the spirit medicines, the greater that spiritual qi contained. Such a place like the Immemorial Medicine Garden, one must make sure not to clean away all these spirit medicines."


    Jiang Taicang mumbled to himself when he heard that, "Most likely, apart from a freak like milord, nobody can collect away all of these spirit medicines either, right?"


    This point, thinking about Wu Yuanqiao''s outcome, and one would know.


    The spirit medicines in this 100 thousand years region were not that easy to harvest.


    Ye Yuan brought the people below a cliff. Lifting his hand and looking over, he said, "That''s a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass! 500 years have passed, it''s indeed still here."


    Seeing the Heart End Grass, Ao Qian''s entire body trembled too, his emotions unable to calm down.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You don''t have to be so agitated either. An Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill refined from a 100 thousand-year-old Heart End Grass is unable to let you recover to your peak strength too. At the very most, it''s also just reaching the strength of that Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing."


    Ao Qian nodded and said, "This old man knows! But that is already sufficient!"

 1053 Golden-Colored Divine Soul!

    Ao Qian was suppressed for 20 thousand years. His Martial Dao foundation was already pretty much ruined.


    For him to be able to barely maintain at Divine King Realm was already a miracle.


    How could wanting to let him recover to his peak state be easy?


    Ye Yuan saw through the hint of unwillingness in Ao Qian''s heart and said with a smile, "Mystic grade medicinal pills are not what the average person can refine. With my present strength, refining 100 thousand-year-old spirit medicines are already the limit. When I break through to middle-stage Dao Profound Realm, I should roughly be able to refine 500 thousand-year-old spirit medicines."


    The moment Ao Qian heard, he could not help being pleasantly surprised as he said, "Then �� Then Ao Qian thanks Your Excellency very much!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don''t thank too early. For you to want to truly recover to peak strength, you need a 500 thousand-year-old Blossomface Proudheart Fruit, a 500 thousand-year-old Voidnether Heavenly Orchid, as well as an Ethereal Blood Ginseng. 500 thousand-year-old items. You''re also aware of how hard it is."


    Hearing these words, Ao Qian''s expression could not help changing.


    Spirit medicines in the 500 thousand year region, the degree of danger inside completely could not be compared to currently. Even if he was in his prime, he did not dare say to be able to retreat unscathed too.


    The 100 thousand years region was still fine. Heading deeper in, medicine spirits would appear. Those things were spirit medicines cultivated into spirits. Not only their aggressiveness was high, but their strength also rivaled Void Mystic Realm powerhouses too.


    If it was one or two medicine spirits, it would be fine still. If they ran into a large group, even Ao Qian would also have to succumb.


    "Milord, this ��" Ao Qian said with a look of difficulty.


    Honestly speaking, ever since acknowledging Ye Yuan as master, Jiang Taicang and the rest of their contributions were not much. But the benefits obtained were far too much.


    The spirit medicines that Ao Qian required were seriously too rare. Therefore, the degree of danger would also soar exponentially.


    Making Ye Yuan take risks on his behalf again, he really could not quite get over it.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Don''t you worry, the 500 thousand year region, others can''t go there, but it can''t stump me, Ye Yuan. Speaking of which, you''re lucky too, this Ethereal Blood Ginseng is an extremely seldom-seen item. One might not even find it in this Immemorial Medicine Garden too. But I just so happened to have obtained a stalk before in the past!"


    The moment Ao Qian heard, he could not help being overjoyed.


    "Milord, as long as Ao Qian is able to recover my strength, this old life will be sold to you from here on! Forget about 1000 years, even 10 thousand years, this old man absolutely won''t bat an eyelid too!" Ao Qian said.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Screw off! You, this character who''s already obsolete, if you don''t break through to Deity Realm, you probably can''t even live past 3000 years. Still talking about 10 thousand years!"


    Ao Qian''s old face turned red, and he had a look of embarrassment on his face.


    Although he swallowed a heaven-defying item like the crane essence, his lifespan ultimately had a limit. Only by breaking through to Deity Realm, could he extend his longevity.


    Otherwise, even if Ye Yuan continued to refine medicinal pills for him, it would not have the least bit of effect either.


    ...


    Putting away the Heart End Grass, Ye Yuan found a safe spot and started closed-seclusion to refine the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill!


    The Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill was a true-blue super Tier 9 medicinal pill. It could help Void Mystic Realm powerhouses consolidate their foundations and nurture their essence, and restore Martial Dao foundation. It was unbelievably heaven-defying.


    The so-called mystic grade medicinal pills were also called super Tier 9 medicinal pills. The difficulty of refining was countless greater compared to high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills. They were specifically for Void Mystic Realm powerhouses to use.


    Ever since Divine Dao dwindled to zero, people were already unable to break through the fetters. Hence, they exhausted all kinds of methods to break through the limits of the Divine King Realm.


    The realm of Void Mystic was born in response to the proper time and conditions due to this. In contrast, mystic grade medicinal pills were also unearthed by alchemists.


    To be able to refine mystic grade medicinal pills was the hallmark of becoming a peak Alchemy Emperor!


    However, this step had stumped innumerable alchemists!


    In the entire Divine Realm, Void Mystic powerhouses were very few and far between, while the number of peak Alchemy Emperors were even fewer than Void Mystic powerhouses.


    It could be seen from this how difficult it was to become a peak Alchemy Emperor.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, the Divine Realm''s peak Alchemy Emperors were all some old antiques who had already become famous for a long time and would not easily take action.


    Not only were these people''s alchemy Dao strength very formidable, but their strengths were also very terrifying.


    And after Ye Yuan accumulated insights of 300 years at peak Alchemy Emperor, his alchemy Dao strength already surpassed many old fogeys who had made a name for themselves, such as Quan Xingzi.


    Just talking in terms of alchemy Dao strength, an old monster like Old Man Han might not be as powerful as Ye Yuan too.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan comprehended Divine Dao laws at present. On the Dao of alchemy, he already completely surpassed those old fellows!


    Ye Yuan was certain that as long as his strength recovered to its peak, he could absolutely be exactly like his father, Ji Zhengyang, refining a half-divine pill, even a divine pill!


    But before refining the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill, Ye Yuan still had to do one thing, that was breaking through his divine soul realm to late-stage Alchemy Emperor.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, and a portion of the golden characters circulated obediently in his divine soul.


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes and meticulously sensed the undulations of Divine Dao laws.


    Wanting to understand these divine inscriptions, the hardest was crossing the threshold.


    Just like an uncommon language, if one did not grasp the inherent rules, there was absolutely no way to learn it.


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, he was unable to understand the profundities of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon''s divine inscriptions all the way until before breaking through to Dao Profound Realm.


    But ever since the last time he aroused the divine inscriptions, letting him savor the mysteries of Divine Dao laws, Ye Yuan became unstoppable. His understanding of these divine inscriptions gradually deepened!


    This sort of Divine Dao laws undulations made Ye Yuan wallow inside in ecstasy.


    Although the time was not long, Ye Yuan''s divine soul realm already gradually closed in on high-rank Alchemy Emperor.


    During his closed-seclusion this time, he was planning on breaking through in one go!


    Yet, just as Ye Yuan was comprehending the Dao, the Soul Suppressing Pearl suddenly started vibrating. Ye Yuan had yet to notice what was going on and was already pulled into the soul suppressing space.


    Regarding this place, Ye Yuan was already very familiar. But this time, inside the soul suppressing place did not have a lightning ocean and also did not have those sort of divine soul impacting undulations.


    What came in together with Ye Yuan was even the divine inscriptions!


    Ye Yuan discovered to his delight that after entering here, the incomparably profound divine inscriptions were actually disassembled into countless fragments!


    These fragments floated before Ye Yuan''s eyes and actually let his comprehension towards the divine inscriptions become easier!


    This discovery made Ye Yuan beside himself with joy!


    The soul suppressing space actually decomposed the divine inscriptions into the most primitive laws, presenting before Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not dare to dawdle and instantly entered the realm of Heaven Man Unity, and carefully comprehended these profound Divine Dao laws.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. But his divine soul''s undulations were several times stronger than before!


    Under the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s help, he actually only used two day''s time and successfully broke through to the realm of high-rank Alchemy Emperor.


    Viewing his own divine soul internally, Ye Yuan nearly cried out in shock.


    "This �� What''s going on here? Why would my divine soul emits a faint golden color?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s divine soul took on a faint golden-yellow color. Although it was very faint, it added a kind of light halo on Ye Yuan, making him look incomparably sacred.


    This discovery made Ye Yuan incomparably astonished.Inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, Chapter 899

 1054 Seven Star Miluo

    "Could it be that �� my divine soul can break through the shackles of Divine Dao?"


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan nearly jumped up.


    Very clearly, his divine soul producing an abnormal change was because of studying the divine inscriptions. Then could it be that when his understanding of Divine Dao laws grew deeper and deeper, there would eventually come a day where he could break through to the Deity Realm?"


    But very quickly, Ye Yuan denied this notion.


    In these 100 thousand years, although no Deity Realm powerhouses had appeared before again, martial artists'' research toward Divine Dao had never stopped before.


    The ones researching divine inscriptions were absolutely not just him, Ye Yuan, alone!


    Ye Yuan even felt that the reason why the Ten Great Divine Kings could attain such heights was likely to a very large degree, because of comprehending divine inscriptions!


    However �� they still did not break through to Deity Realm.


    "Don''t overthink anymore, how can the Deity Realm be so easy to break through? Golden-colored divine soul is exclusive to Deity Realm powerhouses. Attaining Divine Dao, the divine soul would definitely gradually turn golden. Not just the divine soul, after breaking through to Deity Realm, your bloodline, as well as divine essence, will all transform into a golden-color! Yet �� without the permission of Heavenly Dao, you''ll forever not be able to achieve Divine Dao!"


    Long Teng''s figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan and gave his head a blow.


    Ye Yuan could not help being stifled when he heard. This was just like when he had just opened up a window, thinking that he could see the scenery outside, but was kicked back by Long Teng heartlessly with one foot.


    "In that case, Senior Long Teng, you already reached that level back then too? Oh, also, Senior Fang Tian." Ye Yuan said gloomily.


    Long Teng nodded and said, "Fang Tian''s essence, energy, and spirit, had all already reached the limits, that''s why he would think of forcefully breaking through to Deity Realm. Yet �� this was simply nothing more than wishful thinking! As for me, I was still significantly worse compared to Fang Tian."


    When Ye Yuan heard, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched slightly.


    Fang Tian''s strength back then was far stronger than his. Essence, energy, and spirit, three paths at the great circle of perfection, such horrifying strengths were sufficient to sweep away any existence in the Divine Realm.


    But even so, Fang Tian was still unable to break through the Divine Dao shackles!


    Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh, "I understand. Back then, Father should have comprehended the Medicine God''s Soul Canon''s divine inscriptions, and his divine soul should have turned golden too. Hence, that''s how he was able to refine a half-divine pill. His divine soul realm back then was probably the Divine Realm''s strongest!"


    Long Teng nodded and said, "Exactly so."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Huhu, I was greedy. How can the Deity Realm be so easy to break through? But comprehending the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, I seem to be able to enter the soul suppressing space at any time! Comprehending the Medicine God''s Soul Canon''s divine inscriptions in there can be said to yield twice the results with half the effort!"


    Long Teng said, "This Soul Suppressing Pearl is truly magical. I even have a feeling that its grade is probably not lower than the Vast Heaven Stele!"


    ...


    The process of refining the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill was unexpectedly smooth.


    After the divine soul had a qualitative transformation, Ye Yuan refining medicinal pills was simply akin to having divine aid. His foundation was exceptionally solid in the first place, and his understanding of medicinal properties was also exceedingly profound. Adding on the golden divine soul, the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill that originally should be very taxing was not as difficult to refine as imagined.


    The only thing that he was lacking was essence energy. After finishing refining, his entire person appeared somewhat drained.


    The medicinal pill entered his hand. A hint of self-satisfaction flashed across Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    In his previous life, refining mystic grade medicinal pills was not considered a very difficult matter to him. But it was absolutely not as effortless as it was now.


    "M-Milord, how is it?" Ao Qian asked rather agitatedly.


    Seeing that not only did the others recover their strength and even improved a step further, Ao Qian could not help becoming somewhat anxious about his gains and losses.


    After all, the medicinal pills that he required, the degree of difficulty was too high. Even peak alchemy emperors might not be able to refine them too.


    He naturally did not doubt Ye Yuan''s ability. But he was afraid that Ye Yuan was unable to refine out a high-quality medicinal pill.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill, arcane insight rank!"


    Ao Qian''s entire body trembled, and tears actually coursed down his old face.


    ...


    Three days later, in the 500 thousand years region.


    Jian Wushuang suddenly said agitatedly, "Uncle Thirteen, you look, that''s a Seven Stars Miluo!"


    Sword Thirteen nodded and said, "That''s right, it''s indeed a Seven Stars Miluo! With it, Wushuang, you can finally break through to the realm of Void Mystic!"


    The Heavenly Sword Sect entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, their objective apart from divine rank spirit medicines was this Seven Stars Miluo.


    A Seven Stars Miluo had the function of driving out mental demons. A 500 thousand-year-old Seven Stars Miluo could virtually shield all mental demons and had exceedingly good effects towards a martial artist''s breakthrough.


    Jian Wushuang was actually a Heavenly Sword Sect''s genius with exceedingly powerful talent and rose up at practically the same time with Ji Qingyun.


    But in this era, any genius would have to be trampled underneath Ji Qingyun''s foot!


    Regardless of whether they were alchemists or martial artists, which person could stand at the pinnacle of this Divine Realm, and sit as equals at the same table with those peak figures within 500 years?


    These few years, Jian Wushuang had been unable to break through Ji Qingyun this devilish obstruction all along. Hence, he kept failing to step into the realm of Void Mystic.


    Otherwise, with his talent, his current strength should likely not be beneath the Extreme Sword Divine King and Thundercry Divine King already.


    "Hahaha! Truly, heaven is blessing me!" Jian Wushuang said with wild elation.


    "Roar!"


    As if replying to Jian Wushuang''s wild laughter, an angry roar billowed into the sky.


    Jian Wushuang''s expression changed. A lion-form desolate beast already appeared in his sights.


    Sword Thirteen''s face fell, and he said, "It''s the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion. Appearing in this region, its strength is likely already not inferior to mine! Wushuang, I''ll draw it away, you go and pluck the Seven Stars Miluo!"


    Jian Wushuang''s expression sunk, and he said with a nod, "Be careful, Uncle Thirteen!"


    Sword Thirteen slowly nodded his head. Lifting his hand, it was a ray of sword light that rumbled straight for the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion.


    Rumble!


    The Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion actually did not evade nor dodge and received this ray of sword light, and was completely unscathed!


    Sword Thirteen''s expression changed. This Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion''s strength was even above his expectations!


    "Vile beast, prepare to die!"


    Sword Thirteen gave a loud cry and immediately opened up his divine king domain. A violent attack rumbled over towards the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion explosively.


    The Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion was finally infuriated by Sword Thirteen. With a crazed howl, its figure chased over towards Sword Thirteen like lightning.


    Sword Thirteen''s speed was exceedingly swift and led him away into the distance.


    When Jian Wushuang saw the situation, he could not help being overjoyed and sprinted over towards the Seven Stars Miluo.


    Right then, Jian Wushuang''s expression suddenly changed. Countless sharp spikes stabbed towards him.


    Jian Wushuang''s scalp tingled, but it was already too late to want to dodge. He might as well take advantage of the opportunity to roll on the ground, avoiding this attack with a narrow shave.


    "This �� This Seven Stars Miluo actually became a spirit! This time, it''s rather troublesome!" Jian Wushuang said with a frown.


    The Seven Stars Miluo did not give Jian Wushuang the slightest chance to rest. Countless sharp spikes blotted out the skies and covered the earth and rammed at him.


    These spurs were incomparably sharp. If stabbed to this extent, no need to think, and one would also know the result.


    Jian Wushuang was in an incomparably dismal state and just fled for his life ardently. How could he still care about plucking the Seven Stars Miluo?


    All of a sudden, he discovered that those sharp spikes were no more. The tempest-like spurs actually stopped.


    He focused his eyes and looked over. He saw Ye Yuan currently playing with the Seven Stars Miluo in his hand, looking at him with a smile on his face.

 1055 Flattering Oneself

    Seeing this scene, Jian Wushuang exploded all at once!


    "Ji Qingyun, you despicable person! Our Heavenly Sword Sect is currently surrounding and suppressing the Seven Stars Miluo, but you actually sit idly and reap the fruits of others'' labor! Hand over the Seven Stars Miluo, and I''ll spare you from death!"


    Ye Yuan said with an innocent look, "My great Young Master Jian, I saved your life. Do you treat your savior this way? This Seven Stars Miluo has already become a medicine spirit. With your strength, you can''t deal with it at all. If not for me taking it in, you''d already become a corpse now."


    Jian Wushuang was stifled. He was teetering on his feet just now and clearly could not hold on anymore already.


    If those spurs were released for a while more, it would really be hard to say what the outcome would be.


    But earlier, he saw Sword Thirteen and that Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion fight until the skies turned dark and the earth dimmed. He himself was already made dusty and dirty in appearance by this Seven Stars Miluo. But in the end, Ji Qingyun got off cheap. He could not accept this result at all.


    "Bullsh*t! It was clearly you who stole my Seven Stars Miluo, and you''re still not admitting that you got off cheap here! Truly shameless to the extreme!" Jian Wushuang shouted fiercely.


    Jian Wushuang felt like he was about to have a breakdown. Why was he nearly pricked to death by the Seven Stars Miluo, while this guy conveniently plucked it without extra trouble?


    One had to know that Ye Yuan was merely First Level Dao Profound currently!


    Ye Yuan was defeated by this guy''s shamelessness and could only say, "Alright then, alright, even if I stole your Seven Stars Miluo, what do you want to do to me then?"


    Jian Wushuang was filled with righteous indignation and drew his longsword without even thinking about it and said, "Leave behind the Seven Stars Miluo, and I''ll spare you from death!"


    Ye Yuan said with a doubtful look, "Really want me to leave it behind?"


    "Rubbish! Are you leaving it or not?"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Fine, since you want it, giving it to you then."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan directly threw the Seven Stars Miluo over.


    Jian Wushuang could not help being thrilled when he saw the situation, and instinctively wanted to reach his hand out to go and catch.


    This Seven Stars Miluo was too important to him. Without it, he would not be able to break through to the realm of Void Mystic!


    But the next instant, Jian Wushuang''s expression changed drastically.


    That Seven Stars Miluo breaking free of Ye Yuan''s palm immediately seemed to come to life. Spikes that covered the skies sprayed towards Jian Wushuang.


    This time, Jian Wushuang was too close to it. There was no way to avoid it at all.


    Right at this critical moment, several beams of swift and fierce sword light tore through the air and arrived.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The spurs were broken by the sword light one after another.


    A figure arrived with a howl. Who could it be if not Sword Thirteen?


    It was just that the Sword Thirteen at this time had holes everywhere on his body. His aura was also very chaotic, and there were even blackish-red bloodstains.


    It looked like he had clearly just gone through a great battle.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Sword Thirteen''s expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Ji Qingyun, you dare to kill Wushuang? This is seeking death here!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Are your Heavenly Sword Sect''s people all so unreasonable? I saved Jian Wushuang earlier. He insisted that I snatched his Seven Stars Miluo, and I returned the Seven Stars Miluo to him. You''re saying to kill me too."


    Sword Thirteen said with a cold snort, "Humph! Who in the Divine Realm doesn''t know that you and Wushuang are sworn enemies? Will you be so kind-hearted?"


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "That Jian Wushuang is flattering himself. He''s not qualified enough to be sworn enemies with me."


    Sword Thirteen could not help choking up when he heard that and wanted to speak up to refute, but could not find the words.


    Ye Yuan was just elaborating a fact. Regardless of whether in his previous life or present life, Jian Wushuang was never an opponent in Ye Yuan''s eyes. It was Jian Wushuang''s wishful thinking on his own part, viewing Ye Yuan as his mortal foe.


    Jian Wushuang provoked Ji Qingyun back then for Mu Lingxue. As a result, he was almost wasted by Ji Qingyun.


    At that time, although they were both successors of two mighty super holy lands, the strength disparity between the two people was too great!


    Even in this life, Ye Yuan wielded a divine artifact in his hand and even brought along a large group of Void Mystic powerhouses. There was no need to make a move at all to deal with Jian Wushuang.


    Except, these words stomped Jian Wushuang''s pride into the earth in his ears. He roared, "Ji Qingyun, if you have the capabilities, don''t use the divine artifact! Let''s go one-on-one directly! With the likes of your current bit of strength, it isn''t even enough to fill the crevices between my teeth!"


    The current Jian Wushuang had already utterly lost his reason.


    He felt that Ye Yuan was simply a jinx sent down by heaven specifically to target him.


    Yet, when Sword Thirteen heard these words, he wished that he could find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    Fights between martial artists would never talk about making others use something, or not use something. A life-or-death battle, any item was a part of strength, inclusive of luck.


    As long as one could beat their opponent, any means was not an issue.


    Being able to obtain a divine artifact in itself was a part of Ye Yuan''s strength. How was there the logic of making people tie their two hands up?


    Jian Wushuang saying this sort of words was an expression of yielding in itself already.


    Who knew that after Ye Yuan heard, he said with a faint smile, "Is that so? Then you receive this move of mine and give it a shot!"


    Jian Wushuang had yet to come back to his senses when a terrifying soul force already spread out. His divine soul instantly sunk into darkness.


    When Jian Wushuang saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically: "Myriad Soul Extinction! You �� Your divine soul boundary already broke through to high-rank Alchemy Emperor?"


    In this instant, Jian Wushuang suddenly felt like his divine soul had tendencies of going to collapse and dissipate. His entire person was in a listless and muddled state.


    Back then, Ye Yuan used precisely this move to severely injure him. He did not expect that after reincarnating, Jian Wushuang still did not have the strength to retaliate under this move.


    Alchemists were not completely powerless to retaliate against martial artists. If the alchemist''s divine soul mystic art was powerful enough, it was quite a headache for martial artists.


    Like Ji Zhengyang, Old Man Han, this kind of existence, it was also just a flick of a finger for them to eradicate Void Mystic powerhouses whose strength were slightly weaker.


    Unless martial artists were able to kill alchemists in an extremely short time or had a powerful divine soul defensive holy artifact, otherwise, there was only resigning themselves to fate.


    "D-Don''t! I �� I admit defeat!" Jian Wushuang utterly crumbled.


    Sword Thirteen did not intervene. He saw that Ye Yuan did not have killing intent. It was just that sensing Ye Yuan''s Myriad Soul Extinction, his expression was very ugly.


    He also did not expect that after this reincarnation, Jian Wushuang still did not have the strength to retaliate in front of Ji Qingyun.


    He did not blame Jian Wushuang. About Jian Wushuang''s talent, the Heavenly Sword Sect was already aware of it. Want to blame someone, they could only blame Ji Qingyun for being too powerful!


    Being born in the same era as such a genius was simply a tragedy.


    In a blink of an eye, the soul force retreated like tidewater. The pressure on Jian Wushuang''s divine soul lightened, then he gasped heavily for air.


    He felt that he had already circled one round around the gates of hell and back.


    Ye Yuan said to Sword Thirteen nonchalantly, "Although Jian Wushuang provoked me time and again, there isn''t deep-seated hatred between him and me. If I wanted to kill him, he''d have already died God knows how many times. Even if I really killed him back then, what can your Heavenly Sword Sect do to me? Even though he''s somewhat condescending, the offense doesn''t deserve death."


    Sword Thirteen knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth. But he was also very unwilling to acknowledge this truth.


    "Since you wanted to save him, why did you want to kill him with the Seven Stars Miluo again earlier?" Sword Thirteen said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just cracking a joke with him. Didn''t you come back? Would you watch him be killed before your eyes?"

 1056 Dragon Prancing the Four Seas

    "Alright, since you returned, it has nothing to do with me anymore as well. This Seven Stars Miluo, presumably, you can take care of it yourself. I was only dropping in while passing through. Making a move first."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Ao Qian and the others to leave.


    Although this Seven Stars Miluo was good stuff, Ye Yuan did not need it.


    The reason why he took action earlier was really just conveniently saving Jian Wushuang''s life.


    Yet, Jian Wushuang still pestered incessantly as he shouted, "Uncle Thirteen, this guy''s clearly here for the sake of the Seven Stars Miluo! It''s just that he saw you return, that''s why he didn''t dare to make a move! This guy is harboring evil designs, can''t let them leave!"


    Sword Thirteen said in a solemn voice, "Halt!"


    Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said with a faint smile, "What? You''re really planning on keeping me behind?"


    Sword Thirteen said, "If you dismissed me with a few words, then wouldn''t this seat have lost too much face? You''re Wushuang''s mental demon, as long as I kill you, even without the Seven Stars Miluo, he''s able to break through to the realm of Void Mystic too! When at the entrance area, I was wary of the others, that''s why I didn''t make a move."


    Sword Thirteen, this sort of person, his heart was extremely hard to sway.


    Ye Yuan''s words earlier, the impact on him was indeed tremendous. Yet, his thoughts of wanting to kill Ye Yuan had never changed.


    No reason other than because Ye Yuan was the fiendish obstruction in Jian Wushuang''s heart.


    This was already sufficient for Ye Yuan to die 10 thousand times over!


    Being decisive about what he said, Sword Thirteen did not hesitate in the slightest. His divine king domain instantly opened up. Countless sword light glinted inside the domain, carrying out an indiscriminate attack.


    But right then, another divine king domain suddenly made an appearance and directly clashed together with Sword Thirteen''s domain.


    Entering their sight was a stretch of ocean!


    "Dragon Prancing the Four Seas!"


    This was Ao Qian''s divine king domain!


    Even though Sword Thirteen''s sword domain was strong, facing a stretch of ocean, his sword light was unable to penetrate through in the slightest.


    Seeing this scene, Sword Thirteen''s face revealed a look of immense shock.


    "A-Another Void Mystic powerhouse! This �� How is this possible?" Sword Thirteen opened his eyes wide, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    He already knew at the entrance of the Immemorial Medicine Garden that Ye Yuan created two Void Mystic powerhouses all of a sudden. But now, he actually had another Void Mystic powerhouse whose strength was on par with him by his side too!


    When could Void Mystic experts be mass produced just like this?


    Currently, if this force beside Ye Yuan went out, it could completely create a brand new super holy land!


    A super holy land''s Void Mystic experts, on the low-end were three to five, the high-end were six or seven. This group of people beside Ye Yuan was already sufficient!


    Void Mystic powerhouses could not be piled up just by relying on piling resources.


    Wanting to groom a Void Mystic expert, one must firstly expend a very terrifying amount of resources. But just this was still not enough.


    A major faction could forcefully use resources to push a person to the Divine King Realm, but it was absolutely impossible to use resources to push someone to the Void Mystic Realm.


    Want to take this step, without incredible talent, one absolutely could not reach it.


    To the average person, it was impossible for them to step into the Void Mystic Realm in their entire lives.


    Just take Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo for example; if there weren''t Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, they could not take this final step at all.


    Hence, after the two of them reached the realm of Void Mystic, they were already wholeheartedly devoted to Ye Yuan.


    Yet, the divine king powerhouses around Ye Yuan suddenly became Void Mystic powerhouses one by one just like that. How could Sword Thirteen not be shocked?


    About Ye Yuan''s performance in Cloudmarsh City during this period of time, Sword Thirteen was perfectly aware of it.


    Last time, when Ye Yuan used the Golden Needle Acupoint Piercing method, Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo merely just reached peak Divine King too. As for this Ao Qian in front of him, he totally did not have such formidable strength as well.


    But now, Ao Qian already truly had the strength to contend head-on with him.


    Ye Yuan did not care about Sword Thirteen''s astonishment. His expression turned cold, and he said, "Although Jian Wushuang and I don''t really get along, that are merely small spats between youngsters. Now, is your Heavenly Sword Sect really planning on being irreconcilable enemies with me? Then you''ll have to be prepared to suffer my wrath!"


    Sword Thirteen''s expression turned apprehensive. He was actually taken aback by Ye Yuan''s aura.


    Everyone thought that with Ye Yuan losing the colossal Medicine King Hall''s support, he would definitely find it hard to prop up the situation singlehandedly; anyone could come and take a bite.


    But only now did Sword Thirteen discover that Ye Yuan was simply a piece of tough bone; one that could not be cracked!


    This guy''s alchemy skills were even more monstrous than his previous life!


    Finally, Sword Thirteen walked out from his shock and put on a smiling face as he said, "Hah, just cracking a joke just now! My Heavenly Sword Sect doesn''t have much enmity with you. The past matters, it was all Wushuang who was insensible. I apologize to you on his behalf. How about our two households bury the hatchet?"


    The 500 thousand year region, the Heavenly Sword Sect''s disciples could not enter it at all. Otherwise, if they saw their own vice-sect master actually lowered his head to a First Level Dao Profound brat, their eyeballs would probably pop out.


    In truth, Jian Wushuang''s eyeballs were pretty much popping out at this time too.


    "Uncle Thirteen, I cannot live under the same sky with this guy! Isn''t it just three Void Mystic Realm experts? How can our Heavenly Sword Sect be scared of him? Returning this time, I''ll request Father to take action! We must strike this guy dead!" Jian Wushuang howled.


    Sword Thirteen''s expression darkened, and he reproached, "Shut up for me! You disappointing thing! Say any more nonsense and I''ll seal your essence energy sea right now and let someone send you back to the Heavenly Sword Sect! Also, from here on, you''re not to find trouble with Young Master Ji anymore. Otherwise, I won''t let you off!"


    Jian Wushuang looked at Sword Thirteen in disbelief, his entire person frozen there.


    All along, Uncle Thirteen doted on him the most and had never flown into such a great rage at him before.


    This time, it looks like he was truly enraged.


    Although Jian Wushuang''s status in the Heavenly Sword Sect was high, he held Uncle Thirteen in great awe and veneration all along.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Huhu, Brother Thirteen, you don''t have to be like this. With your attitude, I can set my mind at ease. However �� you also know that I''m all alone in the world now. It''s impossible to be as magnanimous as in the past in the way I conduct myself. If someone provokes me over and over again, I won''t have such a good temper anymore."


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was very clear: watch over your nephew well. Don''t let him come out and randomly bite people anymore.


    Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. The next time, he would really deal a killing blow.


    The moment Sword Thirteen heard, his head ached endlessly too. How could Jian Wushuang''s hatred towards Ye Yuan be so easy to dispel?


    Sword Thirteen nodded and said, "Rest assured. Returning this time, I''ll make Wushuang go into seclusion. Before breaking through to the Void Mystic Realm, I absolutely won''t let him out!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll give a plum in return for a peach, and gift this Seven Stars Miluo to the two of you."


    As he said, Ye Yuan slowly walked towards the Seven Stars Miluo in the distance.


    The next instant, their eyeballs popped out.


    The Seven Stars Miluo actually completely did not unleash attacks at Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan reached his hand out and plucked, grasping the Seven Stars Miluo in his hand once more.


    This time, Ye Yuan sealed the Seven Stars Miluo. Storing it into a jade bottle, he directly threw it to Sword Thirteen.


    "If my conjectures are right, you guys entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time is likely aiming for him, right? As for that divine rank spirit medicine, I advise that you guys had best not get involved in this messy situation," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

 1057 Dao Defying Pill!

    Sword Thirteen''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Is it possible that you know something?"


    "I don''t know. But I keep having a bad feeling," Ye Yuan said.


    Actually, 500 years ago, Ji Zhengyang had once brought him into a very deep area before. At that time, he did not know anything yet. But Ji Zhengyang told him that in this Immemorial Medicine Garden''s depths, there was a presence that even he felt his heart palpitate at.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that this time, it was very likely that existence having some unusual activities.


    But what on earth this unusual activity was, Ye Yuan did not know either,


    "You yourself don''t even know, and you want to make me not get involved in the messy situation?"


    "I have good intentions; believe it or not, it is up to you! Divine rank spirit medicine? Heh heh, can this world still give birth to divine rank spirit medicines? Also, no idea who has ulterior motives, spreading such rumors," Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Sword Thirteen did not refute Ye Yuan''s words. Musing for a moment, he said, "Then thank you very much for Young Master Ji''s good intentions. However �� you also know what Deity Realm means to existences like us. It''s impossible for me to back out of this struggle because of a word from you. Otherwise, when I return, I''m unable to give an account to Sect Master as well."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything else. He directly left.


    He was just conveniently mentioning it. As for whether or not the other party would withdraw, that was not what he could decide.


    But Ye Yuan was certain that the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s change this time was likely not that simple.


    Divine rank spirit medicines coming into existence was probably just a cover.


    Furthermore, even if there were really divine rank spirit medicines coming into being, who could subdue?


    After Ye Yuan left, Jian Wushuang said indignantly, "Uncle Thirteen, why did you boost other people''s morale while diminishing your own prestige? Could my Heavenly Sword Sect be afraid of him, an utterly loner?"


    "Utter loner? In ten short days, he created three Void Mystic powerhouses. You''re still capable of treating him as a loner? Wushuang, it''s true that you''re the Divine Realm pinnacle-most genius, but compared to him, you''re still far too lacking! This boy reincarnating, is no longer that Medicine King Hall''s young lord back then anymore. In my view, his alchemy skills have probably already surpassed the Ji Zhengyang back then! As long as his strength recovers to its peak, he''ll likely be the Divine Realm''s most powerful alchemist! Even though my Heavenly Sword Sect doesn''t fear him, such an opponent, we have no need to provoke! This Ji Qingyun, we better leave him for Ji Canglan to fret over," Sword Thirteen said earnestly in a grave tone.


    Jian Wushuang''s expression flickered incessantly. It was not that he did not acknowledge that he was inferior to Ye Yuan, he was just not willing to admit it.


    He had always liked Mu Lingxue, liked very much.


    But everyone in the Divine Realm all knew that the person Mu Lingxue liked was Ji Qingyun!


    Making him to admit that he was inferior to his love-rival, he was not willing even if he was beaten to death!


    Originally, Jian Wushuang thought that with Ye Yuan reincarnating and coming back, regardless of whether his strength or status, it would not be able to compare with his previous life anymore. That was why Jian Wushuang wanted to trample on him ruthlessly.


    In the end, he was trampled instead.


    However, that was just Ye Yuan borrowing the might of a divine artifact. He did not think anything about it at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually relied on alchemy skills and created three Void Mystic Realm powerhouses! Now this was horrifying!


    Although extremely unwilling to admit it, Jian Wushuang also understood that what Sword Thirteen said was the truth.


    "If he was still the previous life''s Ji Qingyun, I wouldn''t pay attention to him too. But experiencing the Medicine King Hall''s change 20 years ago, he''s clearly much more mature compared to the past, and also much more terrifying! If you go and provoke him again, it''s hard to guarantee that he won''t deal a killing blow! Wushuang, you''ve already idled away for several dozen years and should also mature already! Although Big Brother''s strength is monstrous, he can''t protect you all your life too. The one who''s truly able to protect you is only yourself! Think it over well!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan brought everyone and shuttled back and forth the 500 thousand year region, and found a stalk of Tier 9 spirit medicine called Sword Astral Immortal Grass.


    This Sword Astral Immortal Grass was used to purge the sword qi within a martial artist''s body. It had a miraculous effect.


    After helping his three servants all broke through, he naturally would not forget his own brother, Kuang Tianming.


    After obtaining the Sword Astral Immortal Grass, Ye Yuan helped Kuang Tianming refine a medicinal pill.


    "Brother Kuang, Ji Canglan''s sword qi is incomparably tyrannical. Even with the assistance of medicinal pills, it also can''t get rid of it within a short time. This period of time, you''ll go into closed-seclusion within the Vast Heaven Pagoda. After completely expelling the sword qi, I''ll let you out," Ye Yuan said.


    Kuang Tianming shook his head and said, "Younger Brother, within this Immemorial Medicine Garden lurks danger in all corners. Perhaps I''ll come in handy to you. Either way, this injury isn''t one or two days already, there''s no immediate rush either."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "At present, Ao Qian has already recovered a portion of his strength. Compared to Sword Thirteen, that level of existence, he''s also not at all inferior. You just set your mind at ease and go into seclusion."


    Kuang Tianming could not change Ye Yuan''s mind and finally still entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda to enter closed-seclusion.


    After Kuang Tianming went into closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan continued bringing people to search for spirit medicines, and finally found a stalk of Blossomface Proudheart Fruit. But the other spirit medicine that Ao Qian required, Voidnether Heavenly Orchid, even Ye Yuan was unable to find it.


    Even though spirit medicines were extremely abundant in the Immemorial Medicine Garden, it was also not everything under the sun.


    Voidnether Heavenly Orchid was an exceedingly rare spirit medicine. The last time Ye Yuan came here, he never saw it. There was naturally no place to start searching.


    After lingering in the 500 thousand year region for ten days, Ye Yuan brought everyone and entered the most dangerous region: the million year region!


    The million year region was the limits where Void Mystic powerhouses were able to step foot into. Heading further in, people had entered before, but nobody had ever come out before.


    Back then, when Ji Zhengyang brought Ye Yuan along, they also merely came to the million year region.


    Previous life, Ye Yuan''s self-created pinnacle medicinal pill, he named it as Dao Defying Pill!


    This Dao Defying Pill was where the quintessence of his life''s work lied, costing him close to a hundred years to perfect,


    In this hundred years, Ye Yuan did countless experiments and researched 58 thousand over kinds of Tier 9 spirit medicine, and the medicinal properties of over 213 thousand kinds of Tier 8 spirit medicines, before finally creating it.


    This was virtually all of the high-level spirit medicines recorded in the Divine Realm that Ye Yuan could find.


    The grade of the Dao Defying Pill absolutely surpassed any pill formula in the Divine Realm at present. Just the core ingredients were 300 over kinds. The process of refining was incomparably complicated.


    Even if Ye Yuan reached peak strength, refining the Dao Defying Pill was also exceedingly difficult.


    These 300 over kinds of core ingredients were all Tier 9 spirit medicines. But the most critical core ingredients of this Dao Defying Pill were nine types of one-million-year-old spirit medicines, incomparably rare.


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, there were two kinds inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    Ye Yuan entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, the primary objective was to look for these two kinds of spirit medicines!


    These two kinds of one-million-year-old spirit medicines, one was called Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma. The other was called Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus.


    Entering the million year region, Ye Yuan discovered that the corpses by the roadside became significantly more.


    Clearly, the degree of danger here was not comparable to before. Even with Void Mystic powerhouses protecting, it was hard for these divine king experts to escape doom as well.


    But these were not an issue to Ye Yuan. He naturally had ways of avoiding these dangers.


    Just as they were walking, intense sounds of battle came from ahead.

 1058 You Guys Continue, Isll Accept I

    Waves of terrifying undulations came from above the skies. The people fighting were actually all Void Mystic Realm powerhouses!


    "He Dajiang, you despicable scum! To actually take advantage of when we''re fighting with the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma to ambush me!"


    "Hahaha, natural treasures are obtained by those fated! Shu Yunqing, you''re already severely wounded and absolutely not my match! Resign yourself to fate!"


    "Pooh! Today, my Heavenly Dawn Palace will not rest until your Seven Absolute City is dead!"


    "You old fogey, how troublesome! At this rate, none of us can get any benefits!"


    Turns out that the two parties fighting intensely in the sky were people from the Heavenly Dawn Palace and the Seven Absolute City.


    The strength of each and every one of the medicine spirits in the million year region pierced the heavens. Even experts like Shu Yunqing and He Dajiang found it hard to gain any advantage too.


    But the spirit medicines in this million year region, as long as one stalk was brought back, that would be extremely precious. Even for major factions like super holy lands, it would be akin to obtaining a treasure.


    When Ye Yuan heard the name Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, his heart involuntarily stirred.


    The reason why he searched until here was for the sake of the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma.


    In the sky, Shu Yunqing fought three-on-one, appearing very ragged, while Ding Zhanguo maintained the array formation with all his strength, trapping the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma that was currently rampaging.


    It was not that he did not wish to help Shu Yunqing, but it was really that he was completely powerless to do anything.


    A one-million-year-old Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma already transformed into a half-humanoid, half-demon appearance. Its appearance was very odd, especially that polyporus head, which looked extremely comical.


    However, no one could laugh. Its strength virtually made people despair.


    Ding Zhanguo was hailed as an existence second only to the Grand Yan Divine King in the Divine Realm. His formations path strength was transcendent.


    But currently, he could only barely maintain the array formation to not be breached. If he withdrew the array formation, he would be the first one to bear the brunt. The first one that the medicine spirit would want to kill would be him.


    Through just a few words, Ye Yuan already figured out the sequence of events.


    It was definitely the Heavenly Dawn Palace who discovered the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma first. Ding Zhanguo laid down an array formation to trap the medicine spirit while Shu Yunqing took charge of attacking. In the end, they were ambushed by He Dajiang''s party.


    Shu Yunqing getting injured, facing He Dajiang''s party of three mighty Void Mystic experts, how could he still be a match?


    "Yo, fought until pretty lively! You guys continue; this Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, I''ll accept it on your behalf."


    Ye Yuan leaped and arrived beside Ding Zhanguo''s array formation.


    Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance startled everyone.


    "Ji brat, you dare?!" He Dajiang nearly jumped up.


    He had expended a considerable price for this Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma. Originally, he thought that victory was within grasp. Did not expect someone to throw a wrench into the works.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Why wouldn''t I dare? A one-million-year-old Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma; tsk tsk, this is good stuff!"


    Wu Yuanqiao saw Ye Yuan and his flames of fury immediately billowed to the skies. He had suffered a major loss at Ye Yuan''s hands this time, resulting in him having to go through the method of signing his life away before he could obtain time to purge the poison and treat his wounds.


    Although the bulk of the poison was forced out at present, there was still a small part of residual poison that could not be forced out. This reduced his strength greatly.


    "Brother He, I cannot live under the same sky with Ji Qingyun! Shu Yunqing is already a spent force, nothing to fear! I''ll go and kill this punk!" Wu Yuanqiao gritted his teeth and said.


    He Dajiang''s expression fell slightly, and he said, "Fine. I''ll support this side. Get it over with quickly!"


    He expended such a huge price before severely injuring Shu Yunqing. He was naturally unwilling to give the fruit that landed in his hand to Ye Yuan.


    It was only to see a lightning flash. Wu Yuanqiao tore through the air and arrived, his speed swift to the extreme.


    "Prepare to die, Ji Qingyun!"


    His voice had yet to reach, but his person arrived first.


    Towards this, Ye Yuan seemed to be completely oblivious. He actually turned around and slowly walked over towards Ding Zhanguo''s array formation.


    Bang!


    A massive dragon claw suddenly appeared, sending Wu Yuanqiao back with a slap.


    Wu Yuanqiao somersaulted quite a few times in the air before barely managing to stand still.


    "You trash, to actually dare be disrespectful towards my lord! This old man will tear you apart today!" Ao Qian said in a solemn voice.


    This scene stunned everyone! They were all guarding against Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo taking action. Did not expect that the Ao Qian overlooked by them all along, the moment he made his move, it was earth-shattering!


    Void Mystic powerhouses did not have much difference from ordinary peak divine kings in terms of cultivation realm. Not taking action, one could not tell at all.


    But Ao Qian''s attack just now astonished everyone!


    When was there another Void Mystic powerhouse by Ye Yuan''s side?


    Moreover, this Void Mystic powerhouse seemed to be very extraordinary!


    Especially He Dajiang, him witnessing that blow from Ao Qian, his entire person was in a state of confusion.


    They, these super holy lands, by roping, pulling, tugging, lugging, also just scraped together three Void Mystic powerhouses. In less than 10 day''s time, three Void Mystic powerhouses appeared by this Ye Yuan''s side all of a sudden.


    This �� Did they still want people to live?


    Wu Yuanqiao was even more astonished until his shock could not be any greater. He thought about finding Ye Yuan to take revenge because it was impossible for those two guys that just entered Void Mystic to be his match at all.


    Who knew that several days of not seeing, Ye Yuan brought an even more terrifying guy and showed up!


    Shu Yunqing was silent the whole time, but waves of delight gushed up in his heart.


    He Dajiang was insidious to the max and actually played a ''mantis stalking the cicada.'' He probably never would have thought that he was actually eaten by the oriole now, right?


    If there wasn''t Ye Yuan showing up, he might just perish here today.


    But, regarding Ye Yuan''s means, he was also incomparably shocked.


    This Ao Qian was the most unremarkable existence among Ye Yuan''s subordinates. He did not think that in a short ten days'' time, Ye Yuan actually made him become so strong!


    With their cultivation realm, they were naturally able to tell that because Ao Qian''s Martial Dao foundation was ruined, that was why his strength would fall drastically.


    But, to let Ao Qian recover to this strength currently, it was not what ordinary medicinal pills could accomplish.


    Ye Yuan was only First Level Dao Profound right now. How did he refine such high-grade medicinal pills?


    "Ao Qian, accompany Wu Yuanqiao to play well! Take revenge for my brother!" Ye Yuan''s voice transmitted over nonchalantly.


    "Yes, my lord!"


    Ao Qian gave a response. Dragon Prancing the Four Seas instantly expanded outward. A terrifying water-attribute power of laws rushed over toward Wu Yuanqiao.


    Wu Yuanqiao''s expression changed. Lightning domain instantly expanded out.


    Two mighty experts started exchanging blows in the air just like that.


    But in a few moves, Wu Yuanqiao''s declining trend already showed. He was not Ao Qian''s match at all!


    Seeing this scene, He Dajiang knew that he could not carry on observing from the sidelines anymore and said to Yue Xinping, "I''ll go and substitute Wu Yuanqiao. The two of you get the fight over with fast. Quickly take Shu Yunqing down!"


    Done talking, He Dajiang charged right into the group battle.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan slowly came before Ding Zhanguo, patted his shoulder, and said smilingly, "Old Ding, you''ve worked hard. I''ll go in and subdue it right now."


    Ding Zhanguo''s expression changed and was rather unwilling. Their Heavenly Dawn Palace had expended a considerable price for this Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma!


    But on second thought, currently this sort of situation, they totally did not have the strength to contend for the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma anymore.


    "You be more careful. This fellow isn''t simple!" Ding Zhanguo said with a nod.

 1059 Battling Iceflame

    Glimpsing Ye Yuan entering the array formation with his peripherals, He Dajiang''s heart involuntarily palpitated.


    If Ye Yuan could really subdue the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, then their group of people would be in danger! Ding Zhanguo''s strength was very formidable; at least he was not beneath Wu Yuanqiao.


    Once he broke free, the Heavenly Dawn Palace would definitely counterattack.


    At that time, the three of them would be facing three great Void Mystic powerhouses. The situation would be reversing at once.


    He Dajiang was also a figure who had made a name for himself long ago. At this time, he did not panic in the face of danger and directly cut into Wu Yuanqiao and Ao Qian''s battle, saying with a loud roar, "Quickly go and deal with Shu Yunqing! Take the chance when he''s down to claim his life!"


    Wu Yuanqiao''s heart turned cold, not expecting the situation to turnaround so quickly.


    This member of the dragon race in front of him, his strength was too fearsome.


    He Dajiang was also intrepid. His divine king domain was a domain of blades. Battling against Ao Qian, he actually firmly suppressed Ao Qian.


    These super holy lands'' deputies, each and every one was old-monster class. Their strength was unfathomable and would normally never reveal their capabilities. But their strength, nobody dared to underestimate.


    The Eight Great Holy Lands'' strongest people were also not at all inferior when compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings. Adding in the foundation of the super holy land, the Ten Great Divine King would not easily become enemies with them either.


    As for someone like He Dajiang, he could be said to be the strongest one in the second-tier.


    If Ao Qian recovered all of his strength, he naturally would not fear him. But this state at present, he was still slightly inferior compared to He Dajiang.


    Currently, He Dajiang was also anxious and immediately opened up with his full firepower, wanting to finish the fight quickly.


    Even though Ao Qian''s strength did not recover to its peak state and he was still a hair''s breadth away compared to He Dajiang, his seniority was far greater than even an old monster like He Dajiang.


    He knew that He Dajiang was anxious for success and was not in a hurry anymore instead.


    His Dragon Prancing the Four Seas did not look like it had any lethality, but actually, it surged with undercurrents.


    At this time, he went completely on the defensive and defended with a water-attribute divine king''s domain. It was truly seamless.


    Even if He Dajiang''s domain of blades was any more powerful, it also could not breach the continuous domain of water.


    At that time, because Shu Yunqing''s injuries were too severe, facing Wu Yuanqiao and Yue Xinping duo''s pincer-attack, he actually appeared to be teetering on his feet.


    He Dajiang''s ambush previously was dealt extremely viciously. Currently, Shu Yunqing could at most unleash 30-40% of his full strength.


    Wu Yuanqiao was also a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse. Although his strength did not reach He Dajiang''s sort of level, it could not be underestimated either.


    Through a big battle, Shu Yunqing was already increasingly falling short of strength.


    Jiang Taicang duo exchanged a glance and joined in the group battle very tacitly!


    Even though the two of them had just entered Void Mystic, they were not much worse off compared to Void Mystic powerhouses like Yue Xinping. Fighting two-on-one would not fall into a disadvantage either.


    This way, Shu Yunqing''s pressure suddenly eased up.


    For some time, both sides actually fell into a stalemate.


    Now, it would depend on when Ding Zhanguo could break free. This battle''s balance would utterly lean in favor towards Ye Yuan''s side.


    He Dajiang was secretly anxious but completely could not breach Ao Qian''s defenses. At this very moment, he could only secretly pray that Ye Yuan could not subdue the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma.


    On his side, Ding Zhanguo operated the array formation with all his power, not daring to ease up in the slightest.


    The array formation that he laid down was called Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation. It was one of the most powerful array formation inheritances in the Heavenly Dawn Palace''s Ding Family.


    However, even though Ding Zhanguo was hailed as the number one person in the formations path beneath the Grand Yan Divine King, his strength compared to Lu Linfeng was still far too lacking.


    Even this Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation, Ding Zhanguo merely comprehended 80%.


    "I''ll open up a gap. You take the chance and enter inside the array formation. But there''s only a breath of time. Otherwise, once his iceflames creep out, this old man can''t resist it either," Ding Zhanguo said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I''ll just go in myself."


    Ding Zhanguo was stunned and blurted out, "How are you entering �� Uhh ��"


    His words were only said halfway when he saw Ye Yuan lift his foot and went into the array formation, incomparably effortlessly.


    Ding Zhanguo opened his eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    "This �� How is this possible?" Ding Zhanguo muttered to himself.


    Rumble!


    A massive impact force made Ding Zhanguo come back to his senses. He hastily put away his thoughts and operated the array formation, stabilizing the array formation.


    However, the astonishment in his heart could not be any greater.


    The Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation was the Ding Family''s ultimate ancestral legacy. It was incomparably profound. He had already studied it for several thousand years and also merely comprehended 80%.


    Even so, ordinary Void Mystic experts, it was too easy for him to deal with them.


    Ding Zhanguo knew that Ye Yuan was a Tier 9 Formations Emperor, but it should not be possible for Ye Yuan to crack the Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation with his formations path level.


    But now, Ye Yuan entered the array formation so effortlessly. That could only mean that Ye Yuan''s formations path level was at the very least on the same level as him already.


    What he guessed was right. Ye Yuan comprehended the Array Formations Three Volumes. These few years, his formations path level already had significant improvements.


    Although it did not reach Lu Linfeng''s height yet, entering the Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation was nothing difficult.


    Ye Yuan twirled around inside the array formation and closed in on the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma very quickly.


    The reason why the Iceflame Mystic Ganoderma got its name was that it could release a type of extremely terrifying iceflame.


    The iceflame spat out by a 1-million-year-old Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, even if Void Mystic powerhouses got hit, it was at the very least the outcome of severe injuries too.


    However, an expert like Ding Zhanguo would not behave like facing a great adversary either.


    This iceflame could actually also be grouped in the same category as essence fires. But it was not suited for refining pills. Because it did not have warmth and was a kind of cold flame.


    But the destructive power of this iceflame was exceedingly powerful. It could even burn ordinary people until nothing remained.


    When that Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma saw Ye Yuan approaching, it seemed to be like a startled little bunny, shooting out iceflames at him crazily.


    In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan''s entire person was enveloped inside the iceflame. Even his profile could not be seen anymore.


    Seeing this scene, Ding Zhanguo was alarmed in his heart and secretly cursed inwardly.


    But He Dajiang laughed wildly without ceasing and said, "I thought how great a capability this brat had. This time, bit off more than he can chew, right? I want to take a look at how he walks out from these iceflames."


    In the outside world, Ye Yuan''s aura already completely could not be sensed, as if his entire person was devoured by the iceflames.


    Ao Qian could not help sneering coldly in his heart when he saw He Dajiang''s delight.


    One move utterly settled Ye Yuan. That Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma also danced with joy excitedly, as if obtaining some great victory.


    But right then, that tuft of iceflames suddenly no longer pulsated. It was as if it was frozen.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The next instant, those iceflames actually really froze over. After that, a series of cracks appeared.


    Bang!


    The iceflames thoroughly splintered apart, becoming pieces of ice scraps, falling onto the ground.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!


    Inside the iceflames actually had an additional person!


    A girl!


    This girl was incomparably cold. It was as if her entire person was transformed from 10-thousand-year-old profound ice.

 1060 Displaying Invincible Migh

    "Well done, Lu-er!" Ye Yuan said to the cold girl beside with a grin on his face.


    This cold girl was none other than precisely the Lu-er who was in closed-seclusion for a long time.


    These few years, Lu-er had been in closed-seclusion inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda the whole time. With the help of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, she advanced swiftly and vigorously, and already broke through to Dao Profound Realm not long ago!


    The Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian was indeed a spirit physique hard to come across. Her cultivation speed was actually even a bit faster than Ye Yuan''s.


    Especially after Ye Yuan converted Lu-er''s frost poison into a vortex, her cultivation speed became even greater than before.


    Lu-er had a blissful look. Her cold face instantly melted, seemingly like a glacier melting, instantly stunning everyone.


    "Lu-er has followed Young Master for so many years. Finally, I can be of help to Young Master," Lu-er said happily.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Your Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian is a physique of extreme cold, the jinx of iceflames. Although your cultivation realm is not there yet, the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma can''t do anything to you at all."


    Lu-er nodded and said, "Young Master, you just bother with catching it. Leave this iceflame to Lu-er."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and stomped forward!


    When the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma saw the situation, it was seemingly like it had its tail stepped on, spraying out a massive cloud of iceflames in one go.


    Lu-er followed closely behind Ye Yuan, emperor qi spitting wildly, freezing those iceflames into ice in an instant.


    This scene stunned everybody.


    Especially Ding Zhanguo and Shu Yunqing. The two of them were well aware of the iceflames'' prowess. Did not expect that Ye Yuan let out a young lass who was actually completely immune to the iceflames.


    Ding Zhanguo said absentmindedly, "Truly didn''t think that the jinx of the iceflames was actually the Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian! Looks like that Ji kid was long prepared!"


    Ye Yuan wanted to refine the Dao Defying Pill. Naturally, he studied these nine great spirit medicines very in-depth.


    This Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma was long researched thoroughly by Ye Yuan already.


    "Damn it!"


    He Dajiang secretly gnashed his teeth. Little did he think that Ye Yuan actually dealt with the iceflames, this big problem, with the greatest of ease.


    But the more anxious he was, the more he could not take Ao Qian down.


    Instead, Ao Qian almost reversed the situation quite a number of times by taking advantage of when he was distracted.


    "Heh, want to fight, got to focus a bit. It''s out of the question for you to be like this!" Ao Qian said with a scoff.


    Inside the Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation, Ye Yuan had been wandering around erratically the entire time and did not unleash attacks at the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma immediately.


    Lu-er followed slowly behind and opened up the path for Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s fingertip quivered. A streak of cold light flashed past, piercing straight for the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma!


    Chiii!


    A row of iceflames lit up, instantly striking that streak of cold light.


    A bit of flying ash landed from the sky, turning into dust.


    Ye Yuan was not discouraged. He continued walking and said to Lu-er, "Keep your eyes on my movements!"


    Lu-er understood tacitly and said, "Don''t worry, Young Master!"


    Ye Yuan hastened his movement technique, and another streak of cold light flashed past. This time, Lu-er learned her lesson. A fine streak of emperor qi struck out, instantly turning that trace of iceflames into ice cubes.


    Chiii!


    A light ring echoed out as if there was something pricked into the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma''s body.


    The Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma trembled all over as if it was convulsing.


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation. Flinging his hands, several streaks of cold light was fired out again, hitting the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma.


    This time, the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma''s body stiffened up and collapsed onto the ground with a loud bang.


    The Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma that even two great Void Mystic powerhouses could not take down was finished off by Ye Yuan just like this.


    Those few streaks of cold light were silver needles prepared by Ye Yuan in advance. It was dipped in a medicinal liquid that Ye Yuan concocted to specifically target the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma.


    As long as the medicine spirit was hit, it would reveal its original form.


    After the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma fell to the ground, it transformed into the appearance of a ganoderma very quickly, being returned to its original form.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word and directly put it away. This first of the nine great core medicines was obtained without much trouble at all.


    Two great super holy lands restrained each other. In the end, it actually benefited Ye Yuan.


    He Dajiang never thought that Ye Yuan would take care of the medicine spirit in no time flat, and his expression could not help changing greatly.


    "Quickly withdraw!" He Dajiang shouted.


    As he was speaking, He Dajiang suddenly urged his divine king domain to the limits, attempting to shake off Ao Qian''s pestering.


    Ao Qian gave a cold laugh and said, "Want to run? How can it be that easy?"


    He Dajiang''s move was earthshaking. But Ao Qian was a character who had already become incredibly cunning with age, how could he let He Dajiang go so easily?


    He Dajiang''s move was unleashed, but his expression changed drastically.


    "You �� When did you?!"


    He Dajiang discovered that Ao Qian''s divine king domain actually already corroded his divine king domain imperceptibly, utterly sticking onto him.


    Ao Qian laughed loudly and said, "Brat, when your Grandpa Ao was playing with divine king domains, your grandfather wasn''t even born yet! Dragon Prancing the Four Seas is hailed as the dragon clan''s strongest domain. With the likes of you, you also dare to play with your Grandpa Ao? Watch closely, Maelstrom Garroter!"


    At this instant, countless miniature vortexes suddenly appeared in the two people''s divine king domains. That terrifying garroting power actually ground He Dajiang''s blade lights into smithereens.


    "Puhwark ��"


    He Dajiang immediately sprayed out a mouthful of blood, the wound on his chest deep enough to see bones!


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all struck dumb with amazement.


    He Dajiang suppressed Ao Qian all-round, not giving him even a hint of a chance to catch his breath. He did not think that in the end, Ao Qian actually directly finished him off, akin to the weak overcoming the strong.


    "Brother He! Are you alright?"


    Wu Yuanqiao cried out in alarm and immediately shook off Shu Yunqing, heading over to support He Dajiang.


    Wu Yuanqiao was not someone loyal to friends. But at this time, he also knew that the three of them were ants on a rope.


    He Dajiang waved his hand and said, "W-Won''t die!"


    His injuries looked terrifying but did not harm the foundation. He hurriedly fished out a medicinal pill and swallowed. The injuries on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    But his aura compared to just now was weakened by a great deal.


    Ye Yuan also looked at Ao Qian very astonishedly and said, "Nicely done, Old Ao! Your title of dragon clan''s number one powerhouse really isn''t for show!"


    Ao Qian laughed loudly and said, "Haha, isn''t this still all thanks to Your Excellency bestowing pills? This battle today, Old Ao, I, finally vented this vexation in my chest!"


    Ao Qian was really endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan. Without Ye Yuan, he would not even be able to get out of the White Tiger Dungeon, let alone talk about having a great battle with the current Divine Realm''s apex powerhouses.


    The dragon race was a proud race. Ao Qian was even the best of them among this race. The grievance in his heart these few years could be imagined.


    This period of time, he watched Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo, the two of them successively breaking through to the realm of Void Mystic, his heart was long itching unbearably already.


    And this battle, he did indeed fight to his heart''s content, unleashing his understanding towards divine king domains to the limits.


    Just as he said, when he was playing with divine king domains, He Dajiang''s grandfather wasn''t even born yet!


    Him being able to overcome the strong as the weak today was absolutely not by accident, but a true manifestation of his strength!


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Medicinal pills can''t increase your strength. Being able to defeat He Dajiang from the standpoint of the weak, this is your capability! Looks like I''ve underestimated the title of the dragon race''s number one powerhouse!"


    What Ye Yuan said were heartfelt words. Regardless of whether it was Ao Duo or Ao Yong, Ye Yuan somewhat looked down on them both. But today, Ao Qian blew his mind.Bro, literally 99% of the xianxia/xuanhuan novels out there would like to have a word with you about how medicinal pills can increase strength.

 1061 Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation!

    Shu Yunqing''s gaze was filled with shock!


    His strength was originally evenly-matched with He Dajiang, chances of victory being around 50-50. Since Ao Qian defeated He Dajiang, he naturally could defeat Shu Yunqing too.


    Shu Yunqing did not expect that this subordinate of Ye Yuan, his strength was actually daunting to such an extent.


    Shu Yunqing was silent for a long time, but still stepped forward and clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "Young Brother Ji, this time �� this Shu thank you very much!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Palace Lord Shu don''t need to be courteous. With the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma as the reward, we''re considered even too."


    The corners of Shu Yunqing''s mouth twitched slightly. He and Ding Zhanguo expended so much strength. He did not think that in the end, it benefited Ye Yuan.


    But he also knew that without the three fierce generals under Ye Yuan joining in, he might have already fallen at this time.


    Now, Ao Qian directly quelled He Dajiang, and Ding Zhanguo was completely free. Both parties'' strength had a reversal all of a sudden.


    This sort of situation, even after Ye Yuan joined the battle royale, he never thought before too.


    Shu Yunqing swallowed a medicinal pill and slightly recovered his wounds. Looking at the He Dajiang not far away, he said with a cold smile, "He Dajiang, even if you calculated everything, you probably never thought of such a result, right?"


    He Dajiang''s expression became incomparably ugly and said with a cold snort, "This seat failed miserably in a simple task today. But if you guys want to keep this seat back just like this, it probably won''t be that easy either, right?"


    Shu Yunqing said, "Regardless whether you remain behind or not, Heavenly Dawn Palace and Seven Absolute City''s grudge is sowed this time!"


    Two super holy lands turning hostile, a fierce struggle between a dragon and a tiger was indispensable. A single misstep and one party might even be utterly destroyed.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan looked at He Dajiang and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Can''t hold you back, is it? Old Ding, according to what I know, you still have a final ultimate array formation haven''t used, right?"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s face changed.


    Ding Zhanguo''s strongest array formation was not the Profound Heaven Nine Battles Formation, but the Falling Rain Skymark Formation that he used back then when facing Lu Linfeng!


    This set of array formation was extremely profound. Back then, it really caused quite a bit of trouble for Lu Linfeng.


    At present, Lu Linfeng left people far behind in the dust and had long flung Ding Zhanguo behind until his silhouette could not be seen anymore. But using this move to deal with He Dajiang and the rest was sufficient.


    Ding Zhanguo shook his head and said, "If he really wants to run, the Falling Rain Skymark Formation can''t prevent it either."


    He Dajiang burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Ji brat, do you take this old man to be a fool? Will I fight to the bitter end with you all here? Alright, not accompanying anymore. This old man is leaving. If any one of you wants to keep this old man behind, you can very well give it a shot!"


    Even though Ao Qian severely wounded He Dajiang, that was only through elaborate plotting. Doing it one more time, He Dajiang would definitely be cautious and not give Ao Qian any opportunities to take advantage of.


    Furthermore, if He Dajing wanted to escape with all his heart, it was really very hard to stop it.


    Wanting to kill a Void Mystic powerhouse, that was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Finished talking, He Dajiang''s figure instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light, wanting to escape.


    "Old Ao!"


    No need Ye Yuan to instruct, Ao Qian already went over to impede. The two people clashed together in a great battle once more.


    Ye Yuan said, "Old Ding, the Falling Rain Skymark Formation naturally can''t make He Dajiang stay. But adding on my array formation, he''ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings! What you need to do now is to delay him together with Old Ao!"


    Ding Zhanguo could not help looking at Ye Yuan in puzzlement, uncertain where his confidence came from. But he hated He Dajiang to the bones too and was unwilling to let him leave at this point.


    He nodded his head right away. The Falling Rain Skymark Formation silently formed and enveloped over toward He Dajiang trio.


    With the cooperation of Ding Zhanguo''s array formation, the pressure on Ao Qian instantly eased up considerably.


    He Dajiang was akin to have fallen into a bog and really could not extricate himself for a while.


    As for over there, Shu Yunqing trio also delayed Wu Yuanqiao and Yue Xinping firmly, not giving them the slightest chance to get away.


    "Lu-er, help to defend me! I''ll set up the formation!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    "Yes, Young Master!"


    For so many years, this was the day that Lu-er was happiest.


    She never even dreamed that she would be able to step into Dao Profound Realm one day.


    Recalling vaguely, back then in the Ye Manor, Lu-er did not even know what kind of concept Dao Profound Realm was.


    Now, she could finally help Young Master!


    Lu-er already knew that this young master was no longer the original young master. But in her heart, she actually liked this young master a little more.


    This young master was gentle, caring, would become furious for her, even kill people!


    Back then, Ye Yuan battled Lin Tiancheng, and he challenged the entire Danwu Academy with his power alone. How could Lu-er not be moved?


    Back then, Ye Yuan entered deep into the Endless Forest and escaped danger by a hair''s breadth. It was in order to find spirit medicines for her. How could Lu-er not lose her heart?


    Moreover, this young master currently was still Old Master and Madam''s son, right?


    Hence, he was still her young master!


    Lu-er looked at Ye Yuan''s bustling profile, her fluid gaze roaming around.


    For her to be able to silently watch Young Master behind him, this was already sufficient!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not know Lu-er''s little thoughts. He was giving it his all to set up the array formation!


    Array formations were things that could exert tremendous power with little force. Although Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was not high, he could completely rely on array formations to cross realms and kill the enemy.


    Of course, with his present strength, setting up this set of array formation was still overly forceful.


    Putting aside the great expenditure, more important was that the time needed was too long.


    During a genuine battle, it could not have an effect at all.


    Lu Linfeng''s Array Formations Three Volumes was derived from the Vast Heaven Stele. Ye Yuan was the master of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele and also a Tier 9 Formations Emperor. Comprehending the Array formations Three Volumes was naturally not much trouble.


    After the Array Formations Three Volumes, Lu Linfeng definitely had other fortuitous encounters, before he could reach his present level.


    But the Asura Confounding Formation was indeed the divine stroke of the formations path. Its power was incomparably daunting.


    Ye Yuan was sitting on the Vast Heaven Stone Stele. Naturally, he would not miss out on the chance to comprehend array formations either.


    These few years, he already deduced the Asura Confounding Formation many times through the Vast Heaven Stone Stele, and he turned it into another grand array already.


    A grand array that was sufficient to eradicate Void Mystic powerhouses!


    Of course, this was something after he acquired the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil.


    Ye Yuan fused the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s illusionary art into this array formation, making this array formation''s power skyrocket!


    "Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heavenly Slaughter Formation, form!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry. A grand array suddenly lit up and enveloped everyone inside.


    The moment the array formation formed, Ye Yuan''s entire person collapsed.


    But Ding Zhanguo''s expression changed drastically as he said stammeringly, "This �� This �� Could this be Lu Linfeng''s Greater Asura Confounding Divine Array?"


    To talk about who understood Lu Linfeng best in this world, it had to be Ding Zhanguo.


    For so many years, he had been chasing after Lu Linfeng''s footsteps the whole time. Although the two people were pulled further and further apart, Ding Zhanguo''s research towards Lu Linfeng was the most thorough.


    This array formation gave him a very familiar feeling!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "This array formation was self-created by me. Considered to be based off his Asura Confounding Formation, I guess. However, it''s different from his Greater Asura Confounding Divine Array."


    Inside the array formation, He Dajiang trio suddenly felt a blur before their eyes. All of the opponents completely vanished all of a sudden!

 1062 Yin-Yang Samsara!

    He Dajiang turned pale with fright. He knew that he had fallen into an illusion!


    No idea how many years it had been since he had fallen into an illusion!


    Void Mystic powerhouses comprehended powerful powers of law and could practically see through most illusionary realms.


    But now, he had indeed fallen into an illusion!


    "This illusionary formation, could it be done up by Ji brat? When had his formations path attainments actually become so terrifying?" He Dajiang said in shock.


    Just based on this grand array before his eyes, Ye Yuan''s formations path level had probably already surpassed Ding Zhanguo. How could this not shock him?


    After the astonishment, He Dajiang said with a cold laugh, "However �� wanting to trap this seat with a mere illusionary formation is also indulging in the wildest fantasy!"


    As he said, He Dajiang''s divine king domain instantly opened up. A massive black essence energy long-saber instantly condensed and formed.


    "Even if your formations path is comprehended to the realm of Void Mystic, your cultivation realm is still below that after all! As long as this seat breaks the formation with strength, I don''t believe that with just the likes of you, you can stop this seat! Destructive Tyrant Saber!"


    As he said, He Dajiang controlled the long-saber. Carrying an aura that pressed forward with an indomitable will, it chopped onto a point in space!


    A Void Mystic Realm powerhouse focused all of his attacks onto a point. The terror of this attack could be imagined.


    Rumble!


    Following this saber landing, intense tremors appeared on the grand array.


    When He Dajiang saw the situation, a hint of a cold sneer involuntarily flickered across the corners of his mouth. The result was indeed just as he expected.


    This grand array could not withstand his all-out attack at all!


    Although, in the entire Divine Realm, how many people were able to withstand an all-out attack from him?


    Just as he was being pleased with himself, an extremely terrifying killing intent suddenly arrived in a twinkle.


    He Dajiang practically could not react in time and instantly unfurled his protective essence energy to the greatest.


    It was only to hear a rumble. He Dajiang''s body was just like a kite with a broken string, flying out horizontally.


    Shu Yunqing and the others who were currently in the midst of fierce fighting were taken aback by this unexpected scene and ceased fighting.


    They looked at this scene in disbelief. How could the powerful He Dajiang be severely injured until such a manner?


    Currently, He Dajiang was lying on the ground at a distance, his life and death unknown. But looking from the aura, he was already impossibly weak.


    Ding Zhanguo looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost. He did not understand why an array formation laid down by a First Level Dao Profound could seriously injure He Dajiang to such an extent?


    "You �� What on earth did you do?" Ding Zhanguo drew a cold breath and asked.


    This achievement was simply too startling.


    Even Shu Yunqing''s face was also flickering erratically right now.


    Ever since this Ji Qingyun returned, the feeling that he gave people was seriously too bizarre.


    An existence like He Dajiang, even if the Eight Great Super Holy Lands'' strongest powerhouses went into action, they did not dare say to be able to severely wound him so easily either.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not what I did, but what he did himself. This guy fancied himself smart and thought that he could break the formation with strength. As a result, he used his strongest move and injured himself."


    "F-Fancied himself smart? Not using this sort of method to break the formation, then use what method?" Ding Zhanguo asked curiously.


    "My Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation isn''t perfected yet at the moment. The function of the killing array isn''t very strong yet. But the power of the trapping formation and illusionary formation doesn''t allow underestimation. With ''Nine-Nine'' as the name, it''s that this array formation secretly encompasses Heavenly Dao. Nine, is the root, as the end, as the limit, but as the beginning, serving as a link between the past and the future. Although his saber-intent was strong, his array formation is Yin and Yang complementing mutually to begin with. Where it exits, is where it returns. He used his own move to severely injure himself, who can be to blame?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    It was just that his smile in the perspective of other people gave rise to a chill in people''s hearts.


    Martial artists breaking formations with strength, focusing all of their strength onto one point, this was general knowledge. Yet, Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way and introduced the idea of Yin-Yang samsara into the array formation. It was very easy for martial artists to fall for it without understanding the inside story.


    Such a profound array formation was still just a semi-finished product. Once he was able to perfect it, then how terrifying would it be?


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not say some things. With He Dajiang''s strength, as long as he did not muster up all of his strength and focus onto one point, but used the domain of blades to whittle away the array formation, this array formation could not last for a very long time too.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was placed there and could not accomplish making the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation weakness to exploit yet.


    But Ye Yuan calculated that He Dajiang would definitely have preconceived ideas firmly entrenched, that as long as he focused his strength onto one point, he would be able to break the array formation.


    Sure enough, He Dajiang was very cooperative.


    But Ye Yuan was filled with a vicissitude of emotions too. The Vast Heaven Stele was indeed terrifying.


    This Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation, as long as his cultivation realm reached, it would definitely be a major killing tool!


    At that time, the weak point of the array formation not being stable enough would also be non-existent.


    Ye Yuan looked at Wu Yuanqiao duo with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Are the two of you doing it yourselves? Or making everyone take action together?"


    Wu Yuanqiao and Yue Xinping had already long been astounded by Ye Yuan''s means. Someone as powerful as He Dajiang was actually messed up to such a manner!


    "Ji Qingyun, I have no grudge and enmity with you; why do you keep biting onto me and not let go? As long as you let me leave, our grudge is wiped off the slate! I, Wu Yuanqiao, can swear an oath to never find trouble with you again from hereafter!" Wu Yuanqiao said with a solemn look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No grudge or enmity? Putting aside that Brother Kuang almost lost his life at your hands, ever since entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden, you have been sneaking furtively behind us all along. If there was an opportunity, don''t tell me that you won''t make a move on me! It''s just that you didn''t have this chance!"


    Wu Yuanqiao''s expression was incomparably ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, "Then what the hell do you want?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Waste your dantian yourself, and I can spare you from death!"


    Wu Yuanqiao''s face turned black, and he said, "You!"


    "Not willing? Then there''s nothing to discuss! Ao Qian, do it!" Ye Yuan gave the order without the slightest hesitation.


    Ao Qian''s strength was lacking to deal with He Dajiang, but dealing with Wu Yuanqiao, it was more than enough.


    The two people clashed together. Ao Qian forced Wu Yuanqiao into a fluster in a few rounds.


    When Yue Xinping saw this scene, his expression became all the more uglier.


    At present, both parties'' strengths were not on equal footing at all. The disparity was too great!


    Swoosh ��


    Yue Xinping could not resist it anymore and turned around to flee.


    Shu Yunqing was watching him long ago. How could he give him the chance to escape?


    Shu Yunqing was, at any rate, an expert on the same level as He Dajiang. Although seriously injured at the moment, there was still plenty to spare to deal with Yue Xinping.


    Very soon, the two people''s signs of defeat already showed.


    "Taicang, go and kill He Dajiang! This guy isn''t anything good; leaving him is a calamity too!" Ye Yuan instructed.


    Jiang Taicang was just about to make a move when several figures arrived with a howl. One streak of unrivaled sword light after another charged towards Ao Qian and Shu Yunqing, respectively.


    This sword light was too fierce and swift. Even Ao Qian had no choice but to avoid the blade for the time being.


    Seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan''s face sunk.


    The arrival was none other than precisely Sun Man!


    Sun Man appearing at this time was not a good omen.


    Beside Sun Man was a black-clothed person. When Ye Yuan saw this black-clothed person, his brows involuntarily knitted together.

 1063 You Donst Understand Me

    The black-clothed person beside Sun Man gave Ye Yuan a very familiar feeling.


    But he could not recall it for a moment either, where in the world he had seen this black-clothed person before.


    This black-clothed person concealed his entire body. His divine sense was also completely shielded, unable to see his true nature at all. But Ye Yuan just felt that he seemed to have seen him somewhere before.


    "Seven Absolute City and Heavenly Dawn Palace have both sustained heavy losses. This result is for the best. Now, this seat is here to clean up the household. There shouldn''t be anyone who has objections, right?"


    Sun Man''s gaze swept past everyone''s faces and finally landed on Ye Yuan.


    When at the entrance of the Immemorial Medicine Garden, the various major forces mutually restrained each other. It was inconvenient for Sun Man to take action too.


    But now, he just so happened to run into the Seven Absolute City and Heavenly Dawn Palace, the two great forces'' peak Void Mystic Powerhouses seriously injured. It was a good opportunity.


    The moment Yue Xinping saw, he could not help being overjoyed as he said, "No objections, no objections! Hall Master Sun, feel free to take action! I''ve long been irked by this punk! I hope for Hall Master Sun to succeed! This Yue be leaving first!"


    Done talking, Yue Xinping''s figure moved and immediately disappeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo were naturally unwilling to accept it. But Sun Man''s aura locked onto them from far away, making them not dare to act rashly without careful consideration.


    Sun Man was an existence on the same level as He Dajiang and Shu Yunqing. His strength was unfathomable.


    More importantly, their side just experienced a great battle, while Sun Man was in a state of full-health, virtually without any losses.


    When Wu Yuanqiao saw that Yue Xinping left and Sun Man did not stop it, he could not help being overjoyed.


    He immediately bid his farewell. Arriving beside He Dajiang with a flash, he picked him up and disappeared.


    Not that he wanted to save He Dajiang, but he already swore an oath. So he had no choice but to rescue him.


    Inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden, Wu Yuanqiao was equivalent to a member of the Seven Absolute City.


    He currently wished that he could exit this Immemorial Medicine Garden right away. He no longer wanted to get involved in these murky waters.


    After the three people left, Sun Man looked at Shu Yunqing and said coolly, "Palace Lord Shu not leaving, could it be that you want to become enemies with my Medicine King Hall? This is my Medicine King Hall''s family matters. Hope that Palace Lord Shu don''t interfere."


    Shu Yunqing''s expression changed several times and finally heaved a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, "Young Master Ji, not that this Shu isn''t willing to help, but I''m seriously powerless to do anything!"


    Finished talking, he signaled Ding Zhanguo with a look. The two people left by themselves.


    In a blink of an eye, a large group of people was only left with Ye Yuan''s group of people.


    Sun Man''s eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said, "Hand over the Medicine God''s Soul Canon and the divine artifact. This seat can give you a quick and painless death!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Sun Man and smiled.


    "Don''t you think that talking with me using this sort of rubbish is somewhat a waste of time? Make your move!"


    Sun Man''s face fell, and he said, "Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!"


    Sun Man raised his hands, and several streaks of sword light assailed Ye Yuan. Ao Qian''s expression turned cold. Opening up his domain, it instantly blasted away those few streaks of sword light.


    Ao Qian had just been through a great battle. Currently, his expenditure was not little either. Dealing with Sun Man appeared rather taxing.


    "Milord, leave this guy to Old Ao to deal with. You leave first!" Ao Qian said coldly.


    Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo were naturally unwilling to show weakness either. The two people stepped forward together with Ao Qian and formed a triangle battle formation.


    "Old Ao, your expenditure earlier was too great! We''ll lend you a helping hand!" Jiang Taicang said.


    Ao Qian nodded his head and did not show bravado as well.


    If talking about before, for them to want to protect Ye Yuan, that might be compelled by the restrictions of the soul contract still. But now, the three of them were sincere in wanting to escort Ye Yuan to leave.


    It was Ye Yuan who gave the three of them new life!


    Ye Yuan already used his means to thoroughly win over these three people. Of course, it even included Ruan Shuangzhou.


    Sun Man gave a cold laugh and said, "The three of you coming up together, who is protecting this brat then? Bingyun, take that brat down for me!"


    Ji Bingyun''s aura had long locked onto Ye Yuan from far away already. It was completely impossible to give him any chance to escape.


    At this time, Lu-er blocked in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Young Master, you leave first! I''ll deal with him!"


    Ruan Shuangzhou also blocked in front of Ye Yuan with a look of resolution. Clearly, he had already made preparations to die.


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and knocked on Lu-er''s head. Carrying a doting smile, he said, "Don''t put on a brave front. You''re not his match."


    Lu-er''s tears flowed, and she said aggrievedly, "Young Master, Lu-er �� is still so useless!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Nonsense! If not for you, I''d really not know what to do about those iceflames! Alright, quickly go inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda! Young Master is fine!"


    Finished talking, he did not wait for Lu-er to agree either and directly drew her into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Little Junior Brother, I urge that you better give up resisting! Although you have some tricks, this bit of capital is still insufficient to contend with the current Medicine King Hall!" Ji Bingyun said coolly.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "You have a manner like you''ve got me. Don''t you know that I have a divine artifact in possession?"


    Deploying the Sacred Dragon Token with Ye Yuan''s current strength, fighting to a draw with Ji Bingyun was still doable.


    Ji Bingyun''s strength was almost on par with Jian Wushuang. It was not easy for Ye Yuan to want to kill him. But protecting himself was still achievable.


    Ji Bingyun was unmoved and said calmly, "Of course I know. You can endure under my hands. But what about the rest? The three of them are already arrows at the end of their flight. Even if they teamed up, it''s impossible to be Hall Master Sun''s match either."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Enough crap! Make your move!"


    Ji Bingyun''s expression turned cold. Sword intent surged towards the sky!


    "Tranquil Sword Dance!"


    Ji Bingyun gave a cold cry. The longsword shook, and countless sword light immediately wandered around between heaven and earth, and stabbed straight towards Ye Yuan!.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, his figure abruptly vanishing from sight. The sword rain that covered the skies all hit nothing.


    Wanting to lock onto Ye Yuan without a divine king domain was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Ji Bingyun''s expression changed. He had long known that Ye Yuan had this merging into heaven and earth trick. But after experiencing it for himself, he still felt that it was somewhat fantastical.


    This little junior brother, Ji Bingyun was very familiar with him. He was just a fanatic who was devoted to the alchemy Dao with all his heart.


    How was he actually able to reach such a terrifying boundary in the heart realm after 20 years of not seeing?


    "Little Junior Brother, is it possible that you plan to keep on hiding like this? Or you really plan on abandoning these subordinates of yours and leave by yourself?" Ji Bingyun put away his sword and said coolly.


    Ji Bingyun had lived together with Ji Qingyun for several hundred years and naturally understood his character very well.


    Ji Qingyun was someone who valued loyalty and friendships immensely. Even if his personality changed a lot in this life, it was impossible for this point to change too.


    Although Ao Qian and the rest were just his servants, from just a few words, one could also tell that there was absolutely no way for Ye Yuan to abandon them and leave by himself.


    He guessed correctly. It was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to leave.


    He slowly revealed his figure and looked at Ji Bingyun with a smile as he said, "Bingyun, you understand me very well. But there''s one thing that you gauged wrongly, I likewise understand you very well, while you �� don''t understand the current me enough at all!"


    Ye Yuan slowly drew the Starmoon Sword. A terrifying sword intent rippled out.


    When Ji Bingyun saw this scene, his expression could not help changing tremendously!

 1064 Limitless Life-Death Sword!

    Sun Man, Ao Qian, and the others who were currently in the heat of fierce fighting all revealed looks of astonishment.


    "Little Junior Brother, you �� you''re only First Level Dao Profound and actually comprehended divine king domain!"


    Ji Bingyun opened his eyes wide and stared at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with shock.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and said with a faint smile, "Divine king domain, is it �� This is considered a quasi-divine kind domain, I guess. But dealing with you, it should be sufficient."


    At this very moment, a bizarre forcefield formed around Ye Yuan. This forcefield was not different from divine king domains from the perspective of bystanders.


    Inside the domain, three supreme true intents mixed together in complete harmony, forming a terrifying power.


    Seeing this scene, it was not up to Ji Bingyun to not be shaken up.


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan''s ace-in-the-hole should be the Myriad Soul Extinction, and he had long made preparations.


    Being fellow apprentices with Ye Yuan for so long, how much capability Ye Yuan had, Ji Bingyun felt that he understood him very well.


    But now, he finally understood the meaning of what Ye Yuan was talking about.


    Ever since Ye Yuan revealed his identity, he rarely exhibited his martial path cultivation in the outside world. Even the last time when facing Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan never exhibited it before as well.


    In the people''s impression, Ye Yuan was still that alchemist who could only rely on divine soul mystic arts.


    This time, he could even create three Void Mystic Realm powerhouses.


    But nobody would have expected that Ye Yuan''s martial path cultivation was actually so high!


    Ji Qingyun''s concepts comprehension, Ji Bingyun was perfectly clear. Just 20 year''s time had passed, and Ye Yuan''s concepts comprehension actually utterly shook him off behind already.


    This sort of comprehension speed was truly a bit too freakish, right?


    Furthermore, when had it been heard of that someone comprehended a divine king domain at the First Level Dao Profound?


    "Take this!" Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out. A terrifying power of domain rushed over towards Ji Bingyun.


    The so-called power of domain was that within a certain boundary, I alone reign supreme!


    Within the domain boundary, the martial artist was the true king!


    Only experts who similarly possessed powers of domain could have the qualifications to have a showdown with them.


    However, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was not sufficient to support the powers of domain at all. His domain looked powerful, but in reality, it was not as impressive as a genuine domain.


    Even so, for ordinary Dao Profound experts to want to beat Ye Yuan, it was not quite enough.


    Three great supreme true intents fusing, Ye Yuan''s offensive power was virtually unparalleled!


    "Rain Falling on Scattered Dust!"


    Ji Bingyun''s sword intent could not be said to not be strong. But upon contact with Ye Yuan''s quasi-divine king domain, it was immediately ground into smithereens.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he smiled and said, "Ji Bingyun, it''s been 20 years, it seems like your improvement is far from as great as Ji Canglan''s! Do you feel that there''s hope in dealing with me using these moves?"


    Ji Bingyun could not help feeling exasperated. He did not think that 20 year''s time, Ye Yuan was actually terrifying to this sort of degree.


    "Forget it, since you can''t come up with anything new, then receive this move of mine! Limitless Life-Death Sword!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword stabbed out. Ji Bingyun''s expression abruptly changed.


    The Slaughter Concept presided over death, Scorching Concept presided over life, while the Concept of Sword was that wheel that controlled life and death.


    Ye Yuan used the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword as the axle and perfectly fused the Slaughter Concept and Concept of Fire!


    The power of this sword was incomparably outrageous from start to finish.


    Even if Ye Yuan only had First Level Dao Profound strength, when Ji Bingyun saw this scene, he had a feeling of not being able to use force to overcome it as well.


    Two kinds of extremely contradicting concepts intertwining together, yet, the two were harmonious. This made Ji Bingyun had a feeling of his mind splitting up.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The sword being unleashed, arrived in front of Ji Bingyun in a blink of an eye.


    Ji Binyun was greatly astonished and completely unleashed out all the abilities in his lifetime.


    Rumble!


    Two rays of sword light intersecting, only to see Ji Bingyun''s body fly out in reverse like a cannonball.


    Ye Yuan had a tough time too, similarly being slammed flying out in reverse.


    But this sword, it was clearly Ye Yuan who won.


    Ye Yuan was just rebounded by the recoil strength, while Ji Bingyun could not block that terrifying sword intent of Ye Yuan''s at all.


    Ye Yuan being able to perfectly fused three kinds of supreme true intents, this was entirely thanks to the Vast Heaven Stele.


    Ever since Ye Yuan opened up the Vast Heaven Stele with emperor qi, he discovered that this place was completely a treasure trove!


    Inside the Vast Heaven Stele''s space, his speed of comprehending concepts was simply heaven-defying.


    In this period of time, Ye Yuan achieved comprehending the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword concept to the eighth-stage without extra effort, then comprehended the Slaughter Supreme True Intent to the seventh-stage. Even the worst Scorching Supreme True Intent, Ye Yuan comprehended it to the third-stage too!


    And inside the Vast Heaven Stele''s space, Ye Yuan successfully merged together three kinds of supreme true intents, and had an initial grasp of divine king domain!


    This sort of improvement could simply use exaggerated to describe.


    Ye Yuan finally knew why Fang Tian was able to grow into such a terrifying powerhouse.


    With the Vast Heaven Stele, whatever Void Mystic Realm was completely a cinch!


    Activating the Vast Heaven Stele, Ye Yuan seemed to have opened up another huge door. Behind this huge door could amplify his comprehension ability to the limits.


    However, Ye Yuan''s essence energy realm was still a little too low in the end. Even if he could defeat Ji Bingyun, he was still unable to deal him a lethal blow.


    "Hahaha! Milord is milord! Really too mighty! First Level Dao Profound and able to comprehend a divine king domain, milord is likely the entire Divine Realm''s first person!" Jiang Taicang said with a big laugh.


    "Milord is mighty! Rather, it was us who looked down on His Excellency!" Wu Luo was also abnormally excited.


    Ao Qian could not contain his joy even more and said, "Milord, you''re simply too freakish! Elder Teng truly has discerning eyes like burning torches, to actually be able to find a successor like you!"


    The three people were originally suppressed by Sun Man firmly. But seeing Ye Yuan actually had a display of invincible might, each and every one of them was like injected with stimulants, their spirits rising by a great deal all at once. For some time, they actually fought with Sun Man until they were evenly matched in skill and strength.


    The three people were all people whose combat experiences were extremely rich. Ao Qian restrained Sun Man while Jiang Taicang and Wuluo were responsible for harassment by the side.


    It was also that Ao Qian''s divine king domain was powerful. Ao Qian practically unleashed the divine king domain to its limits. The domain of water was equipped with a tremendous inclusive-attribute and could change into myriad forms. It was truly extremely rich in combat strength.


    Swapping anyone else to come and deal with Sun Man, they would have long been taken down by him.


    Ye Yuan raised his sword and stepped forward, preparing to charge towards Ji Bingyun once more when that black-clothed person finally moved.


    Did not see that he had any movements either. In a blink of an eye, he arrived before Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    A punch without the slightest hint of flashiness directly slammed onto Ye Yuan''s quasi-divine king domain!


    "Puhwark ��"


    Ye Yuan vomited a mouthful of fresh blood crazily and immediately fled out backward.


    Toward this black-clothed person, Ye Yuan had actually paid very close attention all along. But he also did not think that this black-clothed person''s strength was actually so powerful.


    Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was extremely powerful. Hence, he could perceive that this punch earlier was completely the fleshy body''s explosive power and not some essence energy martial technique at all!


    Moreover, his speed was exceedingly swift. It was not a movement martial technique, but entirely the power of an explosive nature, making his movements unbelievably fast!


    Ye Yuan crawled to his feet. Reaching his hand out to wipe away the fresh blood at the corners of his mouth, he looked at the black-clothed person and said coolly, "Have we met anywhere before?"

 1065 Divine Rank Spirit Medicine Coming into Being!

    "Je je, what''s a person like you who''s about to die asking so much for?"


    Done talking, the black-clothed person was clearly still standing on the spot when the sound of wind howling arrived with a whistle.


    Rumble!


    The ground behind Ye Yuan directly had a large crater smashed out. But as for Ye Yuan, he merged into heaven and earth, his figure vanishing from sight.


    "Heh heh, merging into heaven and earth? Paltry tricks!" The black-clothed person gave a cold laugh, his figure disappearing once more.


    The next instant, a terrifying undulation came from the void.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan was actually blasted right out of the void by that black-clothed person!


    "Milord!" When Ao Qian trio saw this scene, each and every one of their faces could not help changing drastically.


    Sun Man gave a cold laugh and said, "You guys had best bother about yourselves first!"


    Seizing this opportunity, Sun Man suppressed the three people firmly all at once. Under his divine king domain, Ao Qian trio''s divine king domains were suppressed until it was only left with a very small piece of area.


    For some time, the three people were surrounded by perils, especially Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo. Their divine king domains were virtually suppressed to the limits already. Their bodies also sustained considerable injuries.


    Compared to a powerhouse like Sun Man, the two of them were still too weak.


    Ye Yuan had yet to stand up when the black-clothed person arrived before his eyes again instantly.


    Ye Yuan was startled inwardly and displayed merging into heaven and earth once more.


    The black-clothed person laughed coldly and smashed Ye Yuan out of the void a second time!


    "Your understanding of the Heavenly Dao is too shallow. This degree of merging into heaven and earth doesn''t have the least bit of threat to me at all!" said the black-clothed person nonchalantly.


    With these few blows, Ye Yuan''s body was almost falling apart. If not for his fleshy body was powerful, he would likely have already been killed at this time. The black-clothed person''s strength was unexpectedly powerful.


    Furthermore, this black-clothed person completely did not utilize a trace of other powers at all up until now. Just relying on the power of the fleshy body, he beat Ye Yuan until he did not have the slightest bit of strength to counterattack.


    But Ye Yuan did not doubt in the slightest that his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was absolutely above his own!


    Otherwise, it was impossible for him to resolve his merging into heaven and earth move.


    Up till this present moment, this was Ye Yuan''s first time encountering someone who could resolve this move of his.


    This black-clothed person was too strong!


    The black-clothed person walked slowly and arrived in front of Ye Yuan. He said coldly, "Je je, brat, prepare to die!"


    The black-clothed person suddenly brandished his fist and smashed towards Ye Yuan.


    This punch had an overwhelming momentum and incredible power. It was as if it could shatter space.


    But right then, a terrifying power came out of Ye Yuan''s body.


    Rumble!


    The black-clothed person''s body flew out backward. However, he was fine.


    "Yii? This is �� Sacred Dragon Token? Couldn''t tell that your, this brat''s fortunes, aren''t shallow. However, it benefits this seat!"


    Forcefully receiving the Sacred Dragon Token''s attack, the black-clothed person actually did not seem to have been affected at all, and still talked in a jovial manner.


    Ye Yuan''s face sunk. The feeling that this guy gave him was just like a great mountain, unable to budge at all.


    However, the more they exchanged blows, the more certain Ye Yuan was that he had definitely met this guy before somewhere. It was just that the things that the black-clothed person revealed were seriously too little, unable to judge at all.


    The black-clothed person still wanted to take action. Right then, the depths of the Immemorial Medicine Garden released a blinding light.


    A terrifying pressure instantly spread throughout the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    Roar, roar, roar ��


    Those desolate beasts'' roaring sounds echoed out everywhere, as if they were frightened, clamoring to scatter in flight.


    Ye Yuan was just planning on having a great battle with the black-clothed person. He did not think that this black-clothed person actually pulled back himself.


    "Heh heh, boy, consider yourself lucky. I''ll get down to proper business first. Later, I''ll come and claim your little life again! Sun Man, we''re going!"


    Done talking, the black-clothed person''s figure instantly vanished before Ye Yuan''s eyes and sped toward the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s depths.


    Sun Man also repelled the three people with one move and together with Ji Bingyun, followed the black-clothed person and disappeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Seeing Sun Man and the others withdrawing, Ao Qian trio also heaved a long sigh in relief.


    Inclusive of Ao Qian, they were all forcefully hanging in there with a strand of willpower. At this time, the moment the pressure on their bodies eased up, each and every one of them all gasped heavily for air.


    "Milord, a-are you alright?" Ao Qian asked.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I''m fine. You all seize the time to recover essence energy. This Immemorial Medicine Garden doesn''t seem to look too good."


    "Milord, has a divine rank spirit medicine come into being? Such powerful essence energy undulations, Tier 9 spirit medicines can''t reach it at all!" Jiang Taicang asked.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Maybe! But I feel that it''s likely not some auspicious object instead!"


    When Jiang Taicang and the rest heard that, their hearts involuntarily turned cold and they started recovering essence energy.


    ...


    This terrifying undulation spread throughout the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden in an instant.


    Desolate beasts and medicine spirits all seemed to have received a tremendous stimulation, all becoming restless and uneasy.


    Originally, these desolate beasts and medicine spirits all had their own territories. But currently, they seemed to be having a great migration, leaving their territories.


    "Hahaha! The divine rank spirit medicine finally came into being! Obtaining a divine rank spirit medicine, I''ll be able to soar to the heavens in one bound and become the Divine Realm''s supreme powerhouse!"


    "Wealth is sought in the midst of danger! This is a divine rank spirit medicine! Perhaps I''ll be the first person to break through to Deity Realm in these 100 thousand years!"


    "Divine Rank spirit medicine! It must be a divine rank spirit medicine! This undulation, apart from divine rank spirit medicine, there''s absolutely no other possibility! The divine rank spirit medicine is mine!"


    The martial artists that entered the Immemorial Medicine Garden all seemed to be in a crazed state.


    The allure of a divine rank spirit medicine was seriously too great.


    In these 100 thousand years, Deity Realm had always been an exceedingly sensitive topic. As long as there were items related to Deity Realm coming into being, there would definitely be a sanguinary slaughter.


    This time was no exception as well!


    How could those martial artists still care about whatever danger, surging over towards the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s depths all together?


    In an area within the million year region, Jian Wushuang had a cold smile on his face as he said, "Uncle Thirteen, I said that Ji Qingyun was deliberately scamming us, right? Such a terrifying essence energy undulation, what is it if not a divine rank spirit medicine? Still saying not letting us get involved in the messy situation? Heh heh, he was probably hoping for one less competitor, right?"


    But Sword Thirteen''s face was slightly hesitant as he said, "You look at those desolate beasts. Each of every one of them seems to be fleeing for their lives. Even those medicine spirits are also all avoiding like the plague."


    The moment Jian Wushuang heard, he immediately stomped his foot and said, "Sigh, Uncle Thirteen! How can divine rank spirit medicines be obtained so easily? Those desolate beasts and medicine spirits, they are dreading the divine rank spirit medicine. That''s why they are escaping. But to us martial artists, this might be the only chance to achieve deity-hood!"


    Sword Thirteen''s entire body trembled. Jian Wushuang''s last sentence ultimately still moved him.


    The temptation of achieving Deity Realm, no one could resist it.


    "Go!" Sword Thirteen''s face fell as he said this.


    Jian Wushuang was overjoyed and hurriedly kept up.


    ...


    In a concealed corner of the 500 thousand year region, a middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze exuding rays of brilliant light.


    "Finally came into being! This divine rank spirit medicine, I, Cao Tianyou, must obtain it!"


    Similar scenes were currently happening in the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    Each and every one of the powerhouses did not take action to contend for those rare spirit medicines. Their target was only this divine rank spirit medicine!

 1066 Dao Spirit Fruit!

    Due to those desolate beasts and medicine spirits fleeing everywhere, the entire route was actually smooth without any obstruction.


    These martial artists virtually did not encounter much obstacles and arrived at the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s depths.


    This place already surpassed the million year region and belonged to the deepest area of the Immemorial Medicine Garden. If not for the abnormal activities this time, it was practically impossible for martial artists to reach here.


    Ye Yuan and his group recovered their strength and also followed the main force and entered the region that they had never stepped foot in before.


    "You guys, look! That''s a 500-thousand-year-old Wisteria Chord!"


    "That''s a 300-thousand-year-old Gold Antelope Wisp!"


    The martial artists all cried out in shock. This stretch of region was filled with extremely old spirit medicines everywhere.


    These spirit medicines needed to expend tremendous effort in the outer-regions before one could run into them, and even lose their lives because of it. But here, they could be seen everywhere.


    But at this time, they could not be bothered to harvest these spirit medicines at all.


    Everyone rushed over towards the place where the essence energy undulations were the most intense. They did not wish to fall behind others.


    Following the people entering deep, the essence energy undulations became increasingly stronger. Some martial artists stuck on the gateway of a realm actually directly broke through cultivation realms under the impact of this surge of essence energy!


    Such thick essence energy strengthened everyone''s belief even more.


    What came into being this time was definitely a divine rank spirit medicine!


    Ye Yuan, who was currently walking, furrowed his brows and came to a halt.


    "What is it, milord?" Wu Luo asked.


    "You all help to guard me. My cultivation already can''t be suppressed anymore under this surge of essence energy impact!" Ye Yuan said.


    The moment Ao Qian and the rest heard, they could not help being overjoyed.


    Immediately, everyone found a remote place, and Ye Yuan started breaking through.


    Ye Yuan had already remained at First Level Dao Profound for a considerable amount of time. Following his concepts comprehension advancing by leaps and bounds, his essence energy had long reached peak First Level Dao Profound already.


    Being rushed by this surge of violent essence energy, his cultivation realm could not be controlled anymore and was going to break through to Second Level Dao Profound.


    After two hours, the emperor qi above Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea surged and become over 10 times thicker than before!


    "Tsk tsk, His Excellency''s Second Level Dao Profound, putting aside concepts comprehension, it''s not at all inferior to ordinary martial artists'' peak initial-stage Dao Profound too!" Jiang Taicang said with an emotional sigh.


    Ao Qian and the rest nodded their heads, deeply feeling the same way too.


    The emperor qi when Ye Yuan broke through was incomparably violent. Ordinary Third Level Dao Profounds were indeed not as solid as Ye Yuan.


    Dao Profound Realm, one realm, one world. The disparity between each minor realm was immensely huge.


    Even if ordinary martial artists cultivated for several hundred years, they might not be able to broke through a minor realm too.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The cultivation method that Spirit Bristle that fellow gave me probably only had the upper-half. If my conjectures are right, the lower-half cultivation method might be written with divine inscriptions. That''s where the quintessence lies!"


    The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, the more Ye Yuan cultivated, the more he felt that it was extensive and profound.


    At present, he had already reached Dao Profound Realm, but Ye Yuan had a feeling of it being still incomplete.


    Legend said that the Spirit Bristle Divine King only obtained the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s upper-half back then. This rumor was probably not true.


    Ever since after he comprehended the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, he had an even deeper understanding of Divine Dao laws.


    He dared to confirm that if the Spirit Bristle Divine King only obtained the upper-half, there was absolutely no way of achieving that kind of horrifying accomplishments.


    Ao Qian trio did not know what kind of existence the Spirit Bristle Divine King was. But Ruan Shuangzhou was perfectly clear.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Ruan Shuangzhou opened his eyes wide and said, "W-What Milord is cultivating is a-actually the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Back then, I helped that guy refine a mystic grade medicinal pill. He used this cultivation method as remuneration and gifted it to me."


    Ruan Shuangzhou''s eyeballs nearly popped out. Using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art as the reward, how heaven-defying that medicinal pill was, just using one''s behind to think and one would also know!


    "Shuangzhou, is that whatever Spirit Bristle Divine King very incredible?" Jiang Taicang said, very unconvinced.


    When he became famous, the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s reputation was still unknown. Therefore, he completely had not heard of the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s great reputation before.


    "More than incredible! This cultivation method that milord cultivates is known as the Divine Realm''s number two cultivation method! It''s the primary cultivation method of the Spirit Bristle Divine King, ranked two among the Ten Great Divine Kings! Would you say it''s impressive or not?" Ruan Shuangzhou exclaimed with admiration.


    "Ten Great Divine Kings? Is it very impressive?" Ao Qian said very disdainfully.


    But Ye Yuan nodded his head at this time and said, "Those like Sun Man, are completely inadequate to look at in front of the Ten Great Divine Kings! If I really have to make a comparison, I think Senior Long Teng''s strength should be on the same level as them."


    "S-So powerful?" With this, Ao Qian was convinced.


    Ao Qian refused to yield to anyone in this life and was only convinced by Long Teng.


    He knew that even if he was known as the dragon clan''s number one powerhouse, the disparity was immense with Long Teng''s strength too.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Not Senior Long Teng''s strength when at the dragon clan, but his strength after he met Senior Fang Tian! Ugh �� looks like I have got to think of a way to get the lower-half of the cultivation method!"


    In his previous life, Ye Yuan did not care about cultivation methods. Even if he received the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, he never thought of cultivating it before either.


    But this time, Ye Yuan yearned for cultivation methods considerably.


    Especially after witnessing the might of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, Ye Yuan thirsted for the lower-half of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art even more.


    ...


    "You guys, look! That �� That is a Dao Spirit Tree! It''s really a Dao Spirit Tree!"


    "I didn''t think that inside this Immemorial Medicine Garden, there''s actually a Dao Spirit Tree of the legends! The Dao Spirit Tree is a divine tree!"


    "Legend has it that the Dao Spirit Tree blooms once every 500 thousand years, bears fruit once every 500 thousand years, and only matures after another 500 thousand years! The Dao Spirit Fruit after maturing, it''s said that as long as one consumes it, they will be able to affirm their Dao and achieve deity-hood!"


    "There �� There seems to be a fruit on the tree. Could �� Could it be the Dao Spirit Fruit of the legends?"


    The moment these words came out, the atmosphere immediately became not quite right.


    A Dao Spirit Fruit able to immediately corroborate one''s Dao and become a deity. This temptation, in an era where one was incapable of becoming a deity, no one could resist it at all.


    Everyone held their breaths, eyes looking towards the Dao Spirit Fruit without even blinking.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures finally could not hold back and took off, rushing over towards the Dao Spirit Tree.


    These few people''s strengths were immensely powerful. The weakest was a Divine King Realm expert.


    How could the others be willing to fall behind? Seeing these few people rush towards the Dao Spirit Fruit, each and every one of them sped over like the wind.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Several streaks of powerful flames flashed past. Those few Divine King experts who were the first to sweep towards the Dao Spirit Fruit were instantly burned into flying ashes!


    "There''s a grand array protecting! This Dao Spirit Tree has a grand array protecting! Everyone, don''t go forward!" someone yelled loudly.


    But it was already too late. There were several people following close on the heels and could not pull back in time at all, and were similarly burned into nothing by the grand array.


    This grand array was too terrifying. Divine King powerhouses actually could not even stir up a single wave inside.


    At this time, an old man divided the crowd, walked to the front ranks, and said, "This is the ancient divine rank grand array, Heaven Burning Annihilation Chaos Grand Array. Everyone, don''t act rashly. This array formation, even Deity Realm powerhouses might not be able to break through!"

 1067 Sun Mans Proposal

    The old man''s words made everyone fall into despair.


    An array formation that even Deity Realm powerhouses could not break, how could they all, these people, possibly crack it?


    The Dao Spirit Fruit that could help them break through to the Deity Realm was placed before their eyes, and they actually could not reach it. Nothing was more tormenting than this.


    "Master Ding, you''re a formations path master. Can you lead us to break through the grand array?" Somebody asked.


    This old man was none other than precisely the Heavenly Dawn Palace''s formations path master, Ding Zhanguo.


    After the Heavenly Dawn Palace''s people left Ye Yuan and his group, they went all the way deep in. When the essence energy here surged, they also rushed over right away.


    When Ding Zhanguo saw this grand array, he had a look of despair at that time as well.


    Ding Zhanguo shook his head when he heard that and said, "If divine rank array formations were so easy to crack, what did this old man come to find what Dao Spirit Fruit for?"


    Hearing his words, everyone had even more hopeless looks.


    They all looked at the Dao Spirit Fruit overflowing with essence energy, their hearts like being scratched by cats, abnormally itchy and hard to bear.


    "Could it be �� Could it be that we can only watch blankly like this? That �� That is a Dao Spirit Fruit!" Someone said with unwillingness in their heart.


    This kind of situation, no one would be willing either.


    Deity Realm, this was countless martial artists'' lifelong pursuit for 100 thousand years.


    Within easy reach, but while right under their noses, was far away at the horizon!


    In the crowd, Ao Qian asked Ye Yuan softly, "Milord, is that really a Dao Spirit Fruit?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, "Indeed exactly the same as a Dao Spirit Fruit. It''s just that �� I keep feeling that something is not quite right. If this place has a Dao Spirit Tree, it''s impossible that Father didn''t bring me over to have a look back then. Moreover, the Medicine King Hall was shut for 20 years, and Sun Man had never appeared before. His sudden appearance this time also makes me feel rather odd. Also, that black-clothed person is definitely not an ordinary person! I keep feeling that I''ve seen him before somewhere."


    The Dao Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spiritual plant. It was born as a divine rank spiritual object and was incomparably rare.


    If the Dao Spirit Plant was sealed inside the Heaven Burning Annihilation Chaos Grand Array, there would not be any danger at all. With Ji Zhengyang''s strength, he could totally bring him over and experience it.


    But Ji Zhengyang did not!


    "Milord, could it be that you''re thinking too much? A divine rank spirit medicine coming into being, the Medicine King Hall is likely unable to stay calm either, right? Moreover, the Dao Spirit Fruit''s undulations that surpasses Tier 9, it shouldn''t be fake, right?" Jiang Taicang said.


    "Yeah, Milord, This essence energy undulation absolutely surpasses Tier 9. It''s also no different from the legendary Dao Spirit Fruit''s aura. Shouldn''t �� have any problem, right?" Ao Qian also said.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "I hope so."


    Ye Yuan''s heart realm breaking through to Heaven Man Unity, he more or less had some inferences toward many things in the unseen world.


    He kept feeling that his concern was not groundless.


    Just as Ye Yuan was wavering hesitantly, Sun Man suddenly rose up into the air and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, since you''ve already arrived here, how can there be the logic of entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed? This Sun has a proposal, I wonder if everyone is willing or not?"


    Sun Man''s words immediately aroused everyone''s attention.


    Hearing the meaning in these words, Sun Man had a way of dealing with this divine rank grand array!


    At present, everyone was currently in the midst of despair. Suddenly hearing that there was a way, how could they be unwilling?


    "What method does Hall Master Sun have? Just feel free to say it!"


    "Yeah, Hall Master Sun. The chance to achieve Deity Realm is right before our eyes. We can''t just give up like this, right?"


    These martial artists could not wait to listen to Sun Man''s method. Even Ding Zhanguo did not have any means, at this time, there was only making a Hail Mary effort.


    Sun Man sneered coldly in his heart: just the likes of you fools also wish to achieve Deity Realm?


    But he naturally could not bring it out on the surface. He just slowly said, "Master Ding is a formations path great master second only to the Grand Yan Divine King in the Divine Realm. Although this grand array is an ancient divine rank grand array, I feel that he should be able to see through where this array formation''s vulnerable area lies. Since we can''t pass through this array formation, why not everybody joins forces and break this grand array together! We have so many people here, even a divine rank grand array probably can''t withstand so many of our attacks too!"


    Following Sun Man saying finish, the crowd burst into an uproar all of a sudden. They felt that Sun Man''s proposal was truly brilliant and immediately echoed voices of assent.


    "Yeah, we probably have 100 thousand martial artists here. If we''re of one heart and join forces, the power is extremely terrifying. Perhaps we really can break this grand array!"


    "Hall Master Sun''s suggestion is really too reliable! 100 thousand martial artists, among which even have quite a few Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, I don''t believe that it can''t break the grand array!"


    "Hall Master Sun, how about this, you take command, we''ll all listen to you!"


    Sun Man made a hand gesture, making everyone shush, and said in a clear voice, "I wonder what are the opinions of the fellow Void Mystic Realms?"


    Ding Zhanguo and Shu Yunqing exchanged a glance, and both nodded their heads. Ding Zhanguo said in a clear voice, "This elderly self has no objections!"


    "I have no objections!" Sword Thirteen also voiced out.


    "I have no objections either!"


    He Dajiang also spoke up at an appropriate time. His injuries finally recovered a little through a period of recuperating. But his current state was even worse than Shu Yunqing''s.


    "No objections!" Cao Tianyou who appeared before everyone''s eyes for the first time also spoke up.


    "..."


    Right on the heels of that, one voice after another sounded out. They did not have any objections towards Sun Man''s proposal.


    Counting it, the Void Mystic Realm experts were actually as many as 13 people!


    Close to half of the people among them did not reveal themselves in front of people after entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    At present, it seemed like apart from Sun Man''s suggestion, there was no other path that could be taken.


    These Void Mystic powerhouses asked for nothing else. Their only pursuit was the Dao Spirit Fruit. Letting them leave at this point, that was impossible.


    When the other martial artists heard all of these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses agree, they immediately felt the pressure on their bodies surmount.


    Without a doubt, these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses were the strongest competitors for the Dao Spirit Fruit!


    But the temptation of the Dao Spirit Fruit was seriously too great. They were unable to refuse at all. Furthermore, who knew that they could or could not obtain the Dao Spirit Fruit?


    Before the Spirit Bristle Divine King acquired the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, who knew him?


    Among the martial artists present, there were quite a few Divine King Realm experts. There were even many peak Divine King powerhouses.


    These people were also just a step away from the Void Mystic Realm. How could they be willing to give up on the Dao Spirit Fruit?


    Quite a few of them already made the decision in their hearts, once they caught the Dao Spirit Fruit, they would swallow it at all costs!


    As long as they could escape and find a place to enter closed-seclusion, when they came out again, they would be able to sweep across the Divine Realm!


    This sort of temptation, nobody could resist it!


    Sun Man nodded his head, very satisfied with these people''s replies.


    But finally, he turned his gaze to Ye Yuan and said coolly, "Qingyun, the others have all agreed. What about you?"


    This sentence drew everyone''s gaze toward Ye Yuan. Only then did they recall that Ye Yuan brought along two Void Mystic Realm powerhouses.


    As for Ao Qian, they were still unaware that he had already broken through to Void Mystic.


    Under everyone''s gazes, Ye Yuan mused for a moment, but said coolly, "We �� withdraw!"

 1068 We Were Wrong

    The moment Ye Yuan''s words came out, everyone burst into an uproar!


    Especially those Void Mystic powerhouses, each and every one of them used inconceivable gazes and looked towards Ye Yuan.


    Sun Man''s expression darkened, and he asked, "Do you know what you''re saying?"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Bullsh*t, would I not know what I said?"


    "Fine! Since you withdraw, this Dao Spirit Fruit doesn''t have your share! If at that time, you dare to snatch the Dao Spirit Fruit, then it is becoming public enemies with everybody!" Sun Man said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan shrugged indifferently and said, "You guys play yourselves then. Although I very much want to urge everyone to not join in this matter, you definitely wouldn''t listen. As for the consequences, shoulder it yourselves."


    Ye Yuan''s words made Sun Man''s heart sink.


    As for the rest, they all used a peculiar expression and looked towards Ye Yuan. Because Ye Yuan''s words were very odd.


    This was the one and only chance to break through to Deity Realm, what kind of consequences could there be?


    Any more severe consequences, they would also be willing to bear it!


    "Heh, you want to mislead the masses with fallacies? The chance for Deity Realm is within reach, who''s willing to give up this opportunity?" Sun Man said with a cold smile.


    His words reached the bottom of everyone''s hearts.


    Not that Ye Yuan did not wish to stop these people, but because he knew that even if he dissuaded them, it was useless too.


    There were so many Void Mystic Realm powerhouses here, dissuading with martial strength was even more futile.


    "The chance for Deity Realm? You probably want to utilize everyone''s strength to open this grand array, right? I''m very curious though, just what the hell is inside here," Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    The more Ye Yuan said, the more alarmed Sun Man got. Could it be that this brat knew something?


    Sun Man''s expression darkened, and he said in a clear voice, "Everybody heard that! Ji Qingyun gives up the right to fight for the Dao Spirit Fruit! Later, if he dares to make a move to snatch the Dao Spirit Fruit, it''s becoming public enemies with everyone."


    Everyone did not speak up, because Qingyun Zi''s prestige was too high. But from their expressions, one could also tell that they absolutely did not allow Ye Yuan to encroach on the Dao Spirit Fruit.


    After all, he was not willing to put forth strength.


    Sun Man said again, "Let''s say the nasty things first. If the array formation opens, everybody gets the Dao Spirit Fruit based on your own capabilities. As for who it ends up with, it will depend on each one''s good luck."


    This was also an inherent right to the problem. Everyone was already aware of it.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s decision, Ao Qian trio naturally did not dare have any dissent. But looking at the Dao Spirit Fruit, the four of them were still incomparably hankered after it.


    "M-Milord, do we really not want that Dao Spirit Fruit?" Jiang Taicang could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you guys very moved? All feel that I''m making a big fuss over nothing, is that so?"


    Jiang Taicang''s expression was ugly, and he said with an obsequious smile, "M-Milord, Old Jiang doesn''t mean that."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If any of you wish to join in, I won''t stop you either. After all, this is the chance to become a deity. If I bar the way, I might appear to be too unreasonable."


    Jiang Taicang hurriedly waved his hands the moment he heard and said, "No, no, no, Milord, I �� I was just saying. You �� You just take it as me, Old Jiang, letting out a fart."


    Ao Qian could not watch on anymore and spoke up, "Milord, Taicang he ��"


    Ye Yuan used a hand gesture to stop Ao Qian and said coolly, "There is little common ground for understanding between people of differing Daos! If any one among you guys want to contend for that chance to become a Deity, you can tell me. I absolutely won''t stop it and can even undo the soul contract! But �� our fate will come to an end here!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the four people palpitate with fear. His Excellency normally had a kind and pleasant countenance and rarely restrained them. But this time, he seemed to have really become angry.


    Done talking, Ye Yuan minded his own business and went to one side, and shut his eyes to rest his mind,


    The four people exchanged glances, their expressions all incomparably ugly.


    Over there, Ding Zhanguo was already feeling out the weak area of the grand array. Everyone was looking at him anxiously.


    While Ao Qian the four of them were akin to ants on a hot pan.


    The time they followed Ye Yuan was not long, but they received tremendous grace from Ye Yuan. They were long dead set on Ye Yuan already. It was just that this time, it concerned becoming a deity. They were really unable to remain composed, that was why they would question Ye Yuan''s decision.


    "Heh heh, he''s already giving you guys the cold-shoulder, you all are still chasing after him? Ji brat already said that he''s willing to undo your soul contracts. This is a chance to achieve Deity Realm, do you all want to give up?" At this time, Yue Xinping suddenly appeared and said with a laugh.


    Starting from Ye Yuan saying to give up on the Dao Spirit Fruit, he had been paying attention to the situation on this side.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually fell out with his subordinates, Yue Xinping was abnormally excited.


    He saw that Ao Qian and the rest could not make the decision. Hence, he wanted to incite them to betray Ye Yuan. This way, Ye Yuan being all by himself would be much easier to deal with.


    Those wanting to kill Ye Yuan here were not one or two people. Without these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, he would not be far from death as well.


    It was fine if he did not show up, but with this shooting off his mouth, Jiang Taicang immediately exploded.


    He pointed at Yue Xinping''s nose and cursed, "What the hell has it got to do with you here? What has it got to do with you if your father can''t become a deity? Your father just doesn''t want to become a deity, so what? Worrying over people eating salty carrots, you want to sow discord, is it? When your Grandpa Jiang is playing this trick, you were still in your mother''s tummy! Get lost for your father; otherwise, I''ll beat you until you look all over the floor for your teeth!"


    Done talking, he did not bother with the dumbfounded and mouth gaping Yue Xinping either, and directly scurried before Ye Yuan and knelt down, slapping himself non-stop as he said viciously, "Milord, it was Old Jiang, I, who was befuddled! Old Jiang understands that milord, you, are doing it for our good! In this life, Old Jiang isn''t going anywhere! I pledge allegiance to milord for life!"


    Seeing this scene, Yue Xinping opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief.


    This scene''s change was seriously too quick!


    He did not think that this guy was actually really able to resist the temptation of becoming a deity.


    Right at this time, Ao Qian glared at him fiercely and said icily, "Asked you to get lost, didn''t hear? Want your Grandpa Ao to send you off, is it?"


    Yue Xinping did not fear Jiang Taicang, but he was not Ao Qian''s match. Seeing Ao Qian about to fly off the handle, he said with an awkward look, "H-Haha, g-going right now."


    Seeing Yue Xinping walk far away, Ao Qian trio came before Yue Xinping and directly knelt down.


    "Milord, Ao Qian was muddled! Milord, please punish!" Done talking, he also gave himself two tight slaps.


    Wu Luo and Ruan Shuangzhou also imitated Ao Qian and said, "Milord, please punish!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze swept over the four people''s face, his tone somewhat cold as he said, "This is the first time, and also the last time! Everyone says that if you use a man, don''t suspect him. If you suspect him, don''t use him! To me, this is the case. To you guys, it''s similarly like so! Although you all are my servants in name, I''ve never treated you guys as servants. If you all don''t even trust me, then our fate has also come to an end!"


    The four people''s hearts turned fearful, and they said in unison, "Milord, we were wrong!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. His tone relaxed a little and said, "Talking about Deity Realm, I yearn for it more than any of you! But this time, trust me. This Dao Spirit Fruit �� definitely has something wrong!"


    Ye Yuan''s such firm tone made the four people startled in their hearts.

 1069 100 Thousand Martial Artists Breaking the Formation Together!

    "Purhk"


    Ding Zhanguo, who was currently studying the Heaven Burning Annihilation Chaos Grand Array, suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, giving everyone a scare.


    "Master Ding, are you alright?"


    Seeing his appearance, there was immediately someone who went up to show great concern.


    At this very moment, he was everyone''s hope. Even if there was a bit of rustling of leaves in the wind, it would affect everyone''s hearts.


    Ding Zhanguo waved his hand and said, "I''m fine. It''s just overly exhausting my mind. This divine rank grand array is indeed incomparably profound. This old man comprehended for three days and nights, and finally caught a trace of inkling."


    Hearing Ding Zhanguo say so, everyone all had excited looks!


    Sun Man came forward and said with clasped hands, "Since Master has some gains, please advise on how to break the formation!"


    Ding Zhanguo slowly nodded his head and said, "I dare not say give advice, but everyone should be of one mind and work together. This Heaven Burning Annihilation Chaos Grand Array truly seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. Even among divine rank grand arrays, it should be an immensely powerful existence too. It''s just that through the devastation of time, it''s already far from before. Otherwise, no matter how many people we have, it''s impossible to break it too."


    Everyone waited for Ding Zhanguo to continue with looks of anticipation. They were completely unconcerned with how profound the grand array was. They only wanted to know how to break the formation.


    Three days of waiting, they were already burning with impatience.


    Ding Zhanguo continued slowly, "Initially, this grand array is without any weakness to exploit, as if it''s chaos, making people having no way of making the first move. But no idea why, there''s a nodal point in the south-eastern direction that''s very weak. When the time comes, everybody must attack this point together. There should be hopes of breaking the formation."


    When Ding Zhanguo finished talking, the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled up slightly, appearing very disdainful.


    These three days, he had nothing to do and was also observing this grand array the whole time.


    "Milord, did Master Ding say incorrectly?" Ruan Shuangzhou asked softly.


    Ye Yuan said, "This grand array has clearly sustained heavy damage before and is long a far cry from before already. Although that node in the south-east direction is a weak area, it''s one of the array formation''s strongest nodal points. Its power is bound to be extremely strong. Even if they can break the array formation, probably over half of the martial artists present will be dead or injured!"


    The words made Ao Qian and the rest feel a chill run down their spines.


    Over half dead or injured, that was at least 50 thousand martial artists! Such terrifying power was simply unheard of.


    Very clearly, Ding Zhanguo did not see through this point.


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension of this grand array had far surpassed Ding Zhanguo.


    While talking, that side already prepared to break the formation. It was only to see them all rub their fists and wiped their palms, abnormally excited. However, they did not know that the god of death had already quietly arrived.


    Once they broke the formation, the vicinity would definitely become hell on earth.


    The densely-packed crowd of martial artists came to that weak node in the south-east direction. Sun Man stood in the air and called out in a clear voice, "Now, everyone, each of you circulates your strongest attacks and await my command. Everybody make a move in unison and attack this nodal point at the same time! We only have one chance! If we can''t break the grand array, we''ll likely suffer the grand array''s backlash immediately! Hence, I hope that everyone doesn''t think about holding back strength. Once the others are annihilated by the grand array, you all can forget about getting the Dao Spirit Fruit as well!"


    One had to admit that Sun Man was an expert in stirring up the atmosphere. With him saying so, the expressions on everyone''s faces became solemn.


    Among them, there were clearly quite a number of people harboring the mentality of fishing in troubled waters. They planned on showing up for the work but not exerting themselves, saving strength to snatch the Dao Spirit Fruit at the back.


    With Sun Man saying so, probably the vast majority of the people would not dare to have this notion anymore.


    A grand array''s backlash was no joke. Those few divine king experts'' outcomes previously, everyone already saw it.


    Sun Man slowly swept a glance over everyone and said coldly, "Now �� begin!"


    Following Sun Man''s order, all of the martial artists each displayed their strongest martial technique, accumulating power and awaiting release.


    With over 100 thousand martial artists displaying martial techniques at the same time, this spectacle was truly incomparably astonishing.


    Casting one''s gaze over, as far as the eye could see was filled with a dazzling multi-colored light; incomparably breathtaking.


    Everyone was accumulating power and awaiting release. But the essence energy undulations which everyone exuded virtually made people asphyxiated.


    This point, it was not just Ye Yuan and his group felt it, even they themselves felt it too.


    At this instant, they suddenly had a sort of blind confidence. They felt that this round of collective volley, even Deity Realm powerhouses would have to nurse a grievance too.


    They had never felt that they were so powerful before!


    "Release!"


    Sun Man gave a fierce cry. All of the martial artists practically fired over towards that grand array''s nodal point at the same time!


    Those who entered the Immemorial Medicine Garden, even the weakest had Phaseless Realm strength. This round of collective release was truly unbelievably astounding.


    One wave after another of incredibly powerful attacks converged to form a terrifying destructive power, blasting on the grand array.


    That sort of feeling was akin to two armies facing off, ten thousand arrows releasing together; the whole process being incomparably grand!


    But these martial artists'' control over their own attacks, those soldiers could not hold a candle to it.


    Each attack did not deviate in the slightest. 100 thousand attacks landed on that node accurately, giving off a series of rumbling sounds.


    Rumble ��


    The entire grand array started trembling intensely, especially that nodal point, which actually fragmented apart!


    When those martial artists saw this situation, each and every one of them was incomparably excited. But, in the next instant, their smiles froze on their faces.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Terrifying fire essence power sprawled out above the grand array, turning into countless streams of light and shooting into the crowd of martial artists.


    That spectacle was akin to a meteor shower raining down.


    Except, the destructive power of these flames were countless times stronger compared to a meteor shower.


    "ARGHH!!"


    Waves of miserable cries sounded over. How could those martial artists still bother with snatching what Dao Spirit Fruit? Each and every one of them scattered in all directions, shrill miserable cries rising one after another.


    In a blink of an eye, this Immemorial Medicine Garden really became hell on earth. Virtually half of the martial artists were directly burned to death by this raging flame. Ye Yuan hit the mark!


    "Ye Yuan, let me out," suddenly, a voice came from Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    It was Ye Qing. Ever since after Ye Yuan went to Bright Moon City, he had been in closed-seclusion in the Vast Heaven Pagoda all along.


    After giving birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan helped him to tidy up his meridians too. This made his cultivation speed became very fast. At present, he was already middle-stage Tier 9!


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he let Ye Qing out.


    "What is it?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Ever since Ye Qing entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda, he never came out again. But this time, he had a rare show of initiative to request to come out.


    Ye Qing said, "That Dao Spirit Tree is already dead! I sense a terrifying aura transmitting over from underground. These fools seem to have poked a hole in the sky! Ye Yuan, quickly run! Any slower and you won''t be able to escape anymore!"


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of Ao Qian and the rest all changed drastically!


    Unfortunately, Ye Yuan''s prophecy had come true and hit the mark!


    This whatever Dao Spirit Fruit indeed had a problem!


    Rumble!


    Right then, within the Heaven Burning Annihilation Chaos Grand Array, a massive vine broke out of the earth and slammed onto the grand array from inside!


    The position it attacked was precisely that vulnerable nodal point!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Cracking sounds as if glass breaking transmitted over. Thin lines of cracks appeared on the grand array!

 1070 Terrifying Holy Mother Devil Flower!

    "Hahaha �� Holy Mother Devil Flower, you finally see the light of day anew! From this day forth, my fiend race shall rule the Divine Realm! Hahaha!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to cast merging into heaven and earth to leave when he suddenly heard that black-clothed person he exchanged blows with previously let out a burst of crazed laughter.


    At this moment, black gas wove around the black-clothed person''s body, emitting a shocking power, not the slightest bit weaker compared to Void Mystic powerhouses.


    It was not just that black-clothed person, but on the bodies of those Medicine King Hall''s martial artists as well. Each and every one of them were swathed in black gas.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing drastically.


    He finally recalled who this black-clothed person was!


    Fiendgod Jia Lan!


    This guy actually ganged up together with the Medicine King Hall''s people.


    No, wait, why would fiendish energy also billow to the skies on the bodies of those Medicine King Hall martial artists?


    Especially Sun Man, the fiendish energy on his body was not at all inferior to Jia Lan''s either.


    Ye Yuan''s head rumbled and went blank all of a sudden. All of the doubts were suddenly cleared up in this instant!


    Turns out that the fiend race had long infiltrated into the Medicine King Hall, that was why there was that massive accident back then!


    Most likely, Ji Canglan was completely a member of the fiend race. He laid low in the Medicine King Hall. The goal was to be able to take over the position one day.


    Ji Canglan was simply an ambitious and savage wolf!


    The current Medicine King Hall had already been utterly reduced to a den of monsters. Even Sun Man already fell into the demonic path.


    "Milord, what''s with you? Are you alright?" Jiang Taicang asked concernedly.


    The current Ye Yuan was trembling from head to toe due to agitation. He never would have thought that the fiend race actually concealed so deeply! As early as several hundred years ago, they were already plotting to devour the Medicine King Hall.


    If Ji Canglan was of the fiend race, then everything could be explained.


    Why he betrayed Father, betrayed the Medicine King Hall. The root of all this was because of the fiend race!


    Moreover, father Ji Zhengyang had also said it back then, Ji Canglan still had an even stronger faction behind him. Then this faction should be the fiend race.


    Even if Ye Yuan was impossibly smart, he was also unable to predict that the truth of the matter was actually like this!


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath. Forcefully composing himself, he waved his hand and said, "I''m fine! But �� this devil vine coming into being, the Divine Realm will likely �� have a change in rule!"


    No need Ye Yuan to say, the few people already deeply sensed the might of the devil vine. That surging fiendish energy already gradually overflowed from inside the fragmented grand array. Just this tip of the iceberg practically made people give up all hope already.


    The Dao Spirit Tree originally fluctuating with essence energy actually directly withered to death at this time, while the Dao Spirit Fruit immediately disappeared.


    This was completely a hoax, a scheme!


    Only then did those martial artists fleeing in any path they could, after swiftly coming to a realization. They, these 100 thousand people, were utterly wrapped around Sun Man''s little finger.


    What Dao Spirit Tree, Dao Spirit Fruit, what becoming a deity, it was utter rubbish!


    This Sun Man really acted out a full play, deceiving everybody.


    And the only one who saw through Sun Man''s play was only Lord Qingyun Zi!


    However, they shrugged off Lord Qingyun Zi''s warning.


    "As expected �� As expected! It''s a scheme! If I''d long known, I should have listened to Lord Qingyun Zi''s word and immediately leave this place!"


    "The Medicine King Hall has already been thoroughly reduced to the fiend race''s lackeys! They deceived all of the people in the Divine Realm!"


    "What the hell is that? It''s going to break the seal and come out right away! Q-Quickly run!"


    At the moment, those martial artists who were lucky to not be burned to death all put a desperate fight, wanting to escape.


    This devil vine had not come out yet. But they knew that this was not an existence that they were capable of dealing with!


    Rumble!


    That Holy Mother Devil Flower accumulated for a long time and gave the grand array another great attack.


    With this, the grand array fragmented with a loud bang.


    The next instant, a terrifying thing happened.


    The moment the grand array broke, countless vines grew crazily from underneath the earth, and they intertwined over towards those martial artists running desperately for their lives.


    Puchi ��


    A vine directly pieced through a Seventh Level Dao Profound powerhouse''s chest. That martial artist drooped down without any strength in his entire body.


    Following that, his whole body was shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye, then was directly absorbed to become a human jerky.


    Those countless vines rose and covered the skies, enveloping everyone inside in virtually an instant.


    Those martial artists'' fleeing speed was already very fast. But the speed of the vines was even faster than them. As long as they were slightly touched by the vines a little, they would immediately be sucked into a human jerky, looking horrifyingly ghastly.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, there was a large group of martial artists killed by the vines.


    These vines were seriously too powerful. Beneath Divine King, there was virtually not much leeway to resist, and they were instantly killed.


    Those divine king powerhouses also all exerted themselves to the utmost before barely managing to resist and not letting the vines easily kill them.


    "Milord, seize the chance that that vine has not charged over to our side here and quickly run!" Ao Qian said.


    "Yes, milord. This damn vine is too powerful. If it''s really as you said, the Divine Realm''s great catastrophe has come!" Jiang Taicang said with lingering fear in his heart.


    Fortunately, their group of people was far away. If they were close, it would be hard to avoid a great battle at this time too.


    That devil vine seemed to not have noticed the situation over here yet. This made everyone involuntarily heave a sigh in relief.


    They wanted to escort Ye Yuan away from here. Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I can''t let this thing come into existence. Otherwise, it will likely be even more hopeless for me to want to kill Ji Canglan!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s hearts thump a bit.


    No way, right? Milord was �� Could he be wanting to go and clash head-on with that Holy Mother Devil Flower?


    Even Void Mystic powerhouses were not this Holy Mother Devil Flower''s match either!


    "You guys, look!"


    Everyone looked over in the direction that Ye Yuan pointed at and could not help getting a huge shock.


    They were drawn by the devil vine''s frenzied slaughter earlier and did not notice the situation inside the grand array.


    At this time, on that withered Dao Spirit Tree, an incomparably beautiful giant flower actually formed.


    Following the martial artists'' blood essence that the devil vine absorbed becoming more and more, this beautiful flower became even more bright-colored and luxuriant. In contrast, that originally incomparably outrageous fiendish energy was actually still in the middle of growing steadily.


    Ao Qian''s expression changed greatly, and he said, "It''s absorbing martial artists'' blood essence to recover strength! This Holy Mother Devil Flower, it''s definitely an existence that surpassed the Deity Realm originally! At this time, the outcome will be too ghastly to imagine!"


    Ye Yuan said, "You guys look at that black-clothed person, and also Sun Man they all."


    "T-Their fiendish energy are also growing! Especially that black-clothed person, in this short while, his fiendish energy already grew by a great deal!" Ao Qian''s eyes were filled with an expression of shock.


    That black-clothed person''s strength was originally equivalent to late-stage Dao Profound martial artists too.


    In just this short while, he already directly broke through to Divine King Realm! Furthermore, his aura was still steadily rising!


    At this time, the black-clothed person''s strength was simply going to be unimaginable!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm and uttered words that made everyone shudder with fear: "That black-clothed person is called Jia Lan, Fiendgod Jia Lan! Back then in the boneyard, he broke free and was seriously injured by me. I didn''t think that in these few years'' time, he actually ran to the Medicine King Hall and found a suitable physical body, and recovered to emperor realm strength! You look at his expression; it''s incomparably respectful toward this Holy Mother Devil Flower. That can only mean that this Holy Mother Devil Flower''s rank is even higher than his!"

 1071 Undying Body!

    The few people exchanged a glance, each seeing thick astonishment from the other party''s eyes.


    The information that Ye Yuan''s words revealed was too many.


    Firstly, it was Fiendgod Jia Lan!


    Fiendgod this term, only Deity Realm powerhouses were worthy of possessing.


    Which was also to say that that black-clothed person they bumped into previously was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Although Jia Lan was a far cry from before, Deity Realm was Deity Realm. It was the realm that all of the martial artists yearned for.


    Of course, this was not what shocked them the most.


    What made them the most shocked was that when Fiendgod Jia Lan came into being, Ye Yuan was actually present. Moreover �� he even seriously wounded the fiendgod!


    Ye Yuan did not break through to Dao Profound Realm for very long too. Then when he encountered Jia Lan, just what was his cultivation realm at that time?


    The Ye Yuan, who was inferior, actually defeated the fiendgod at the latter''s own ground. This was too inconceivable.


    One could imagine that if not for Ye Yuan, the current Divine Realm would probably long have had a wave of sanguinary slaughter set off already.


    Because there was that serious injury that time, that was why it made Jia Lan have no choice but to cease all activities and search for a physical body anew to recover strength again. This delay was several year''s time.


    Except, everyone did not expect that the Medicine King Hall''s connection with the fiend race was actually so deep.


    If not for the Medicine King Hall, probably Jia Lan''s recovery of strength would still have to postpone several years, even as long as several dozen years.


    Another thing, this Holy Mother Devil Flower was actually an existence even more terrifying than Fiendgod Jia Lan.


    What kind of existence was that?


    They could not imagine it. But it must be very dreadful!


    "The only thing worthy of us rejoicing over is that this Holy Mother Devil Flower''s strength is likewise greatly discounted due to being suppressed for too long. It should be incredibly weak right now. If we don''t get rid of it at this time, it would likely sow seeds of trouble in the future! Moreover, I feel that it''s just like a mother; inoculating fiendish energy! In my view, this Holy Mother Devil Flower should be a very important thing to the fiend race. We absolutely cannot let it come into being just like that!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "B-But, milord, even if it''s very weak, it''s also not what we''re able to deal with! You look at those few!" Jiang Taicang said.


    Everyone looked over but saw that Sword Thirteen and Shu Yunqing, these Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, were all put in a miserable state by the devil vine.


    Furthermore, in pace with the increased in slaughtered martial artists by the devil vine, its strength was gradually building up.


    The more it dragged, the greater the danger those Void Mystic powerhouses would be in.


    The weak Holy Mother Devil Flower was also not what they could shake.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "My mind is made up, don''t say anymore! In a while, you guys enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda, I''ll dash to the vicinity of its main body with merging into heaven and earth. Everyone listen to my command and attack its main body together!"


    The four people''s expressions turned austere, all nodding their heads.


    Although they were somewhat fearful, they also knew that what Ye Yuan said was right. Not dealing with the Holy Mother Devil Flower today, there would likely not be any more chance in the future.


    Ye Yuan and Ji Canglan''s score had to be settled sooner or later. If Ji Canglan got the Holy Mother Devil Flower up the Medicine King Hall, Ye Yuan would virtually have no hope of taking revenge anymore.


    Moreover, if they let this Holy Mother Devil Flower out, the Divine Realm would definitely be plunged into an abyss of suffering.


    Whether for the collective or personally, eliminating the Holy Mother Devil Flower was a must!


    "I''m going too!" Ye Qing suddenly said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Today''s Ye Qing seemed to be rather unusual.


    But he did not say much either and just nodded his head.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred and took everyone into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, then directly vanished on the spot.


    The next instant, he already arrived in the proximity of the giant flower!


    However, Ye Yuan still underestimated the Holy Mother Devil Flower. His figure had yet to appear when a devil vine suddenly stabbed out diagonally, slamming directly onto the void!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan''s figure was actually directly smashed out. His merging into heaven and earth actually lost effectiveness a second time!


    "Attack!"


    Ye Yuan seemed to have been long prepared about this. With a loud cry, he let everyone out.


    Ao Qian, the five people, had long already been accumulating power and awaiting release, getting ready their attacks. Ye Yuan also took out the Sacred Dragon Token without any hesitation and immediately extracted 10% of his blood essence and a large quantity of divine essence, and poured it into the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Six attacks with overwhelming power blasted over at that beautiful flower!


    Ye Yuan''s Sacred Dragon Token even left people far behind in the dust, drawing a stream of dazzling light in the sky, heading straight for the giant flower.


    Whoosh ��


    The beautiful flower was naturally unwilling to be captured without putting up a fight. It summoned out countless vines to surround and suppress the six people.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The devil vine was incomparably fearsome from beginning to end. Ao Qian five people''s attacks were actually directly blocked by the vines.


    Only Ye Yuan''s attack directly tore open a large hole in the devil vine, its power not reducing in the slightest, and headed towards the flower''s main body!


    Right at this time, the Fiendgod Jia Lan, who had been consolidating fiendish energy all along, suddenly opened his eyes. His figure instantly vanished on the spot.


    "Devil Flames Billowing to the Skies!


    Jia Lan''s figure reached first despite moving later, immediately appearing between the giant flower and the Sacred Dragon Token''s attack.


    At the same time, a violent black-colored flame erupted with him as the center, and pounced straight for that attack!


    Rumble!


    Two terrifying attacks collided together. Jia Lan''s figure was instantly blasted until he flew out backward, viciously smashing him deep underground.


    This attack, Ye Yuan prevailed.


    But his assault target was the giant flower and not Jia Lan. This attack was neutralized by Jia Lan just like that.


    In a blink of an eye, vines coiled over towards him crazily.


    As if enraged by Ye Yuan''s attack, vines rose out of the ground one by one and unleashed terrifying attacks at Ye Yuan the six people.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest. Operating merging into heaven and earth, he avoided the attacks of those vines.


    "Ye Yuan, send me to the Dao Spirit Tree here!" Ye Qing suddenly yelled out.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised but did not think too much either. He knew that Ye Qing would not do any meaningless thing at this time.


    Immediately, without hesitation, Ye Yuan directly put the five of them away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda again and merged into heaven and earth once more.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan just thought about approaching the giant flower, when he was smashed out of the void by the crazed vines.


    He was not discouraged and merged into heaven and earth once more, attempting to skirt around those vines.


    But no matter how he went around, he would always be smashed out from the void by the devil vine.


    This devil vine''s comprehension of laws had clearly far surpassed him.


    "Haha, a useless brat. The Holy Mother Devil Flower is a heaven and earth spiritual plant. Its comprehension of Heavenly Dao laws is far stronger than yours. Your merging into heaven and earth can''t even pass through my round, so how can you possibly pass it persistently?"


    A black figure scurried out from underground. It was precisely the Fiendgod Jia Lan who was just smashed underground by Ye Yuan!


    Jia Lan was still surging with fiendish energy at this time and actually did not look the least bit injured!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help being slightly surprised too.


    For the sake of that attack just now, he extracted away one-tenth of his blood essence and expended a large amount of divine essence. Jia Lan actually did not sustain any injury?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Jia Lan was delighted to the extreme and laughed wildly as he said, "Why? Are you very surprised why I''m not hurt? Hahaha �� The Sacred Dragon Token is indeed formidable, but the Holy Mother Devil Flower is the mother of the fiend race. With it around, I''m of the undying body! Therefore, prepare to die!"

 1072 Complete Dragon Transformation, Golden Right Claw!

    Undying body!


    Jia Lan''s words made Ye Yuan startled in his heart.


    He knew that Jia Lan was not deceiving him. This Holy Mother Devil Flower seemed to be able to provide him fiendish energy unceasingly.


    Ye Yua knew how terrifying his attack earlier was. Even if Jia Lan had Divine King cultivation realm currently, it was also not possible to be completely unscathed.


    This was also to say that if he was unable to destroy that flower, he would forever not be able to defeat Jia Lan!


    Furthermore, there were still so many devil vines giving him help!


    "Undying body, is it?


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly took out the Starmoon Sword.


    "Limitless Life-Death Sword!"


    The moment the quasi-divine king domain appeared, even Jia Lan felt incomparably amazed too.


    "Fine lad, just Second Level Dao Profound and you actually comprehended divine king domain already! Your talent is truly heaven-defying in this age of declining laws! However �� using it to deal with me, still too tender!"


    Shock was only shock. Jia Lan''s present strength was much stronger than Ye Yuan.


    Jia Lan was not what trash could compare to. He was once a Fiendgod cultivation realm powerhouse. His comprehension of laws was far stronger than ordinary martial artists.


    He did not avoid the incomparably sharp sword intent in the slightest and directly smashed a punch over towards Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    After one blow, Ye Yuan''s divine king domain was actually struck until it directly crumbled, his figure being sent flying out too.


    Those vines also seized the opportunity and wanted to capture him, coiling over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared, evading the devil vine''s attack ingeniously.


    What a powerful physical body!


    Jia Lan actually only relied on the power of the fleshy body to forcefully scatter Ye Yuan''s divine king domain!


    Once the fiend race obtained a fleshy body, they were truly unbelievably powerful. The current Jia Lan was more than several times stronger than when at the boneyard.


    "Hahaha �� Boy, your divine king domain is too weak! If you really reached the realm of Void Mystic, I''d really not be your match! But the current you �� I can crush you casually!" Jia Lan said insolently.


    Toward Ye Yuan, Jia Lan hated to the max in his heart too.


    If not for Ye Yuan severely wounding him, he would have long already recovered to a considerable strength now, and not reach an extent of making compromises to salvage the situation for the past few years.


    Being seriously injured by the Soul Suppressing Peal that time, he had not recovered his vitality until now as well. Using a trick to let the Holy Mother Devil Flower out this time, a very large part of the reason was in order to recover vitality.


    Now that he ran into Ye Yuan a second time, Jia Lan would naturally have to overpower properly, so as to give vent to the hatred in his heart.


    Ye Yuan spat and said with a cold smile, "Casually crushing me, huh? Bring it on!"


    "Roar!"


    A shocking dragon roar tore through the horizon. Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared.


    The place he was originally standing at, a thousand-foot long massive azure dragon actually appeared at this time! Different from ordinary azure dragons, this azure dragon''s right claw presented a golden color!


    Seeing this scene, Jia Lan''s pupils constricted, unbelievably shocked!


    "Complete dragon transformation! This boy actually wants to compete in fleshy body with me!"


    "Golden right claw! Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    The massive azure dragon spoke human language, its right claw smacking out with a whistle.


    Immediately, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. An enormous essence energy palm carried the might of heaven and earth, smacking over in the direction where Jia Lan was standing.


    After complete dragonification, the power of Ye Yuan''s physical body skyrocketed several times. Adding on the late-stage spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm as well as the golden right claw refined and formed with the primeval dragon bone.


    The might of this palm was incomparably shocking!


    This palm could absolutely blow up an ordinary divine king!


    Jia Lan''s expression changed and suddenly slammed a fist out. Peerlessly violent fiendish energy headed for that enormous palm incomparably savagely.


    "Evilfiend Divine Fist!"


    In the sky, one azure and one black, two terrifying attacks collided together, stirring up an incomparably violent air billow.


    The thousand-foot long azure dragon that Ye Yuan transformed into was struck until he flew out in reverse, but Jia Lan was even more tragic. He was smacked into the ground by Ye Yuan''s palm once again.


    Terrifying essence energy rippled out, directly destroying a large stretch of the devil vines.


    But with this, it rescued a large group of martial artists.


    They looked at that incomparably magnificent huge dragon in the sky, incredibly in awe and veneration in their hearts.


    "20 years in a blink of an eye, Lord Qingyun Zi is truly remarkable! Now, he''s no longer that Qingyun Zi who only knows how to refine pills!"


    "Divine king domain, complete dragon transformation, also, that golden right claw. Simply too terrifying! That blow earlier could absolutely blow up an ordinary divine king!"


    "Lord Qingyun Zi is truly the only one awake while the world is drunk! To think that we were still afraid of him snatching the Dao Spirit Fruit with us previously. Thinking about it now, really ashamed!"


    "Yeah! Lord Qingyun Zi originally could run away, but he chose to stay behind! We can''t watch him fight alone! Everyone, attack together and exterminate that devil flower!"


    Those martial artists saved by Ye Yuan were all incredibly ashamed. Quite a number of people were moved by Ye Yuan and charged over toward the Holy Mother Devil Flower without heed for their lives.


    "Don''t!" Ye Yuan roared.


    However, it was already too late ��


    Countless vines extended out from under the ground once more, virtually devouring those martial artists in an instant.


    At present, of the 100 thousand martial artists, those who died were dead, those injured were down. There were already less than 10% remaining.


    In this short while, the devil vines already slaughtered several tens of thousands of martial artists and absorbed large quantities of blood essence.


    And these blood essences were currently regurgitation-feeding the Medicine King Hall''s martial artists.


    Up till now, only Jia Lan alone took action, while the Medicine King Hall''s martial artists all had not made a move yet!


    "Sword Thirteen, Shu Yunqing, He Dajiang, what are you all still waiting for? Once the devil flower comes into being, none of you can escape!" Ye Yuan roared furiously in the air.


    He knew that these guys had been watching the fire on the opposite shore the whole time, and did not exert their utmost effort.


    Void Mystic Realm powerhouses were unlikely to be effortlessly finished off by a few tendrils of the devil vine.


    Being exposed by Ye Yuan like this, the few people knew that they could not carry on feigning any longer. Each and every one of them had a grand display of invincible might and dispersed the vines very quickly.


    Swoosh ��


    After He Dajiang broke apart the vines, he did not remain but sped straight for the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s entrance.


    "He Dajiang, you''re shameless!" Shu Yunqung cursed.


    But he had not finished scolding yet when several more figures fled outwards. They were precisely Wu Yuanqiao, Yue Xinping, and the others.


    At this time, Jia Lan tunneled out from underneath the earth again and still surged with heinous fiendish energy, without any hints of suffering injuries at all.


    He looked at the few profiles currently leaving at full speed and said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, want to run? You all are also looking down on Lord Holy Mother too much!"


    His voice had yet to fade when intense tremor sounds suddenly came from below the ground.


    Rumble!


    Several vines suddenly tunneled out from underground and bound He Dajiang trio up with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder, which left no time for covering ears!


    But these vines were different from those in front of them. They were all purplish-black color!


    When Sword Thirteen and the rest saw this scene, they all turned pale with fright.


    "Turns out that until now, this devil vine hasn''t used its full strength yet!" Sword Thirteen''s expression was very ugly as he muttered.


    "These purplish-black devil vines should be that Holy Mother Devil Flower''s main body! Previously not attacking was because it hasn''t broken free from beneath the earth yet. Now that it absorbed so many martial artists'' blood essence, its strength has already recovered too much!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.

 1073 Withered Tree Sprouting New Leaves in Spring

    Absorbing several tens of thousands of martial artists'' blood essence, the devil vine finally revealed its fangs.


    He Dajiang trio''s bodies were currently shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye. Void Mystic powerhouses of an era actually perished just like that.


    This scene made everyone suck in a cold breath.


    Jia Lan laughed loudly and said, "Lord Holy Mother will become more and more powerful after absorbing blood essence. Although the current Divine Realm''s laws don''t allow Deity Realm powerhouses to exist, with her foundation, there isn''t any difficulty in reaching Half-Deity Realm. Hence, none of you can escape today! Everyone here today, all have to die!"


    Jia Lan''s words made Sword Thirteen and the rest incomparably horrified. Half-Deity Realm sounded extraordinary.


    But they did not know that Ye Yuan knew what Half-Deity Realm was.


    Back then, Fang Tian and that Heavenly Fiendgod were Half-Deity Realm.


    Any one among them was an existence capable of sweeping across the Divine Realm!


    If the Holy Mother Devil Flower could reach that kind of existence, forget about them, it was a catastrophe to the entire Divine Realm too.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Is that so? Then I''ll kill you first!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan deployed the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating palm once more, planning to severely injure Jia Lan again.


    Jia Lan laughed loudly and said, "It''s no use, boy! Your golden right claw is indeed formidable, but no matter how you fight, it''s impossible to kill me!"


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, "Will only know if I try!"


    When Sword Thirteen they all saw He Dajiang''s miserable state, they could not hold back anymore as well.


    Sword Thirteen cried out, "Fight it out with them! Exterminate the Medicine King Hall''s people first!"


    Sword Thirteen was the one whose strength was the most intact among all of the Void Mystic powerhouses right now. He did not hesitate in the slightest before charging towards Sun Man.


    The other Void Mystic powerhouses knew that there was no way to resolve things today anymore, and also threw the last trace of mentality of getting lucky to the back of their minds, all charging over towards the Medicine King Hall that side.


    The Medicine King Hall''s experts were surrounded by a cloud of fiendish energy at this time, appearing very dark and frightening.


    Seeing Sword Thirteen they all took action. Sun Man laughed coldly and stepped forward wielding his sword. The two groups of people instantly clashed together.


    What made this group of people astounded was that they all, so many Void Mystic powerhouses, did not form a one-sided suppression.


    Those Medicine King Hall''s divine king powerhouses, each and every one of their strength was actually not beneath theirs!


    Especially Sun Man, in just the work of a few moves, he forced Sword Thirteen until he was teetering on his feet, all the way until Shu Yunqing joined the group battle, before both sides barely managed to fight to a draw.


    As for the others, they could not gain any advantage at all.


    Furthermore, the purplish-black vines also harassed those Void Mystic powerhouses from time to time. These Void Mystic powerhouses were actually surrounded by peril.


    While on another side, a violent Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm arrived with a howl once more. Jia Lan was not careless either. It was the Evilfiend Divine Fist again, heading straight for Ye Yuan.


    Two terrifying attacks looking as if they were about to collide in the air. But, a change suddenly occurred!


    Ye Yuan carried the horrifying Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and vanished before Jia Lan''s eyes!


    At virtually the same time, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the Holy Mother Devil Flower.


    At this time, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was just about to finish accumulating power. Ye Yuan suddenly smacked a palm out.


    Seeing this scene, Jia Lan revealed a look of shock.


    He completely did not think that Ye Yuan actually pulled this trick on him, making use of merging into heaven and earth to ruthlessly play with him.


    This bit of distance was seriously too near to merging into heaven and earth. Even if his speed was any faster, he could not keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed either. He could only watch Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm rumble towards the Holy Mother Devil Flower helplessly.


    That Holy Mother Devil Flower clearly had intelligence, but also did not expect Ye Yuan to pull this move.


    But its reaction was also extremely swift. The instant Ye Yuan merged into heaven and earth, it detected Ye Yuan''s intentions.


    Purplish-black vines rose to the sky, desperately wanting to block off Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    This move of Ye Yuan''s directly caught a time lag. From merging into heaven and earth to revealing his body, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm''s palm force already completed. It was just moving places.


    Rumble!


    The vines were directly treated as meat cushions for the Holy Mother Devil Flower, being pulverized into shreds by the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    But with this block, the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm did not have much power remaining anymore as well.


    This bit of attack could not cause the least bit of threat to the Holy Mother Devil Flower at all.


    Ye Yuan still wanted to attack when another wave of devil vines flew out. Jia Lan also rushed over already, not giving him any opportunity at all.


    Helpless, Ye Yuan battled together with Jia Lan once more.


    But all of the people did not notice that when Ye Yuan unleashed the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm just now, an azure light quietly entered inside the already withered Dao Spirit Tree under the cover of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    The attack this time, Ye Yuan had long predicted that he would return without accomplishing anything. His true objective was in order to send Ye Qing over.


    Jia Lan intercepted Ye Yuan. This time, he was really seething with rage.


    "Boy, to actually pull this trick on me! If a tiger doesn''t demonstrate its prowess, do you really take this Lord Fiendgod as someone to be trifled with?" Jia Lan said with a furious roar.


    "Dogfart fiendgod, aren''t you just a divine king right now? What''s there to be cocky about?" Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look.


    When Jia Lan came into being back then, Ye Yuan was merely just a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist and could already play with him by relying on various kinds of methods.


    Several years passed. Ye Yuan''s progress rate far exceeded Jia Lan''s imagination.


    For Jia Lan to want to thrash Ye Yuan again like back then, it was already impossible.


    But Ye Yuan''s words stepped onto Jia Lan''s tail. He howled furiously, "Boy, your Lord Jia Lan will let you take a look at what''s a true fiendgod! Fiendgod Nine Transformations, Sixth Transformation!"


    Rumble!


    Jia Lan''s body grew rapidly all of a sudden, and actually grew as much as a hundred feet! His fiendish energy also instantly skyrocketed several dozen times!


    At the same time, sinister protruding fangs grew out of his mouth. The human hands also grew sharp talons.


    He looked just like a fiendgod descending to the earth.


    "Evilfiend Divine Fist!"


    Still the same move. But displaying it at this time was entirely different from earlier.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan had no time to display any move and was directly struck by this punch. The massive dragon body was smashed into the depths under the ground like a cannonball.


    At this moment, Jia Lan utterly went berserk. That terrifying power, even other Void Mystic Realm powerhouses also trembled with fear when they felt it.


    After Jia Lan went berserk, his strength skyrocketed more than 10 times compared to earlier.


    This whatever Fiendgod Nine Transformations was truly powerful to the extreme.


    Those Void Mystic Realm powerhouses were all endlessly alarmed and secretly rejoiced that their opponent was not Jia Lan.


    Jia Lan''s figure instantly vanished on the spot. Then, a series of rumbles came from beneath the earth.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The vines slaughtered the remnant martial artists wantonly. While on the other side, the group of Void Mystic powerhouses was also beaten until they did not have the least bit of strength to ward off blows.


    The entire battle situation was already completely controlled by the fiend race firmly.


    Yet, everyone did not notice that on that Dao Spirit Tree which had long withered already, was akin to a withered tree sprouting new leaves in spring, growing out a tender shoot.


    The delicate shoot was incomparably weak but was growing and strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 1074 Ye Qing Showing his Migh

    The tiny bud became a little shoot. The little shoot became a small tree. The small tree gradually grew thick, the branches and leaves gradually flourishing.


    A large evergreen tree grew on the Dao Spirit Tree''s dead wood.


    The Holy Mother Devil Flower was currently absorbing the martial artists'' blood essence crazily when all of a sudden, it started quivering intensely.


    That bright and juicy petal actually gradually became dim.


    Those Void Mystic powerhouses were currently put into a sorry state by the devil vines. Suddenly, those vines retreated like tidewater.


    The vines pursuing martial artists similarly retracted back.


    Everyone looked at this scene, all incomparably astounded as if returning to the human world from hell.


    In a twinkle, that small tree already grew into a large tree. Although it was less than a one-ten thousandth of the Dao Spirit Tree, it was currently rapidly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    In contrast, the Holy Mother Devil Flower actually seemed like it withered. Not only did its color dim, but the giant flower petals were also currently gradually shrinking.


    Holy Mother Devil Flower looked like the small tree absorbed away all of the nutrients.


    Rumble!


    Jia Lan''s punch sent Ye Yuan rumbling out of the surface of the earth, but he did not pursue it anymore.


    He felt that the strength in his body was disappearing bit by bit!


    At this time, Ye Yuan had long recovered to human form already. But his body was lacerated with wounds everywhere, looking very miserable.


    The strength of the Fiendgod Nine Transformations'' Jia Lan was truly incomparably terrifying.


    But the expression on Jia Lan''s face was even more terrifying than Ye Yuan''s injuries!


    "You �� What the hell did you do to Lord Holy Mother? Why �� Why is my strength disappearing?" Jia Lan said in terror.


    Ye Yuan flashed a miserable smile and said, "Huhu, looking at that strange flower''s appearance, it seems to be suffering! Don''t ask me what I did, because I don''t know either."


    Jia Lan''s expression turned black, and he roared angrily, "I''ll kill you!"


    Jia Lan suddenly slammed a fist out, aiming for Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, that giant glower actually gave off a shrill and miserable cry, piercing until everyone''s eardrums hurt.


    This cry made all of the martial artists jittery, goosebumps breaking out all over the body.


    The Holy Mother Devil Flower was becoming small at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally becoming the size of a person. Then it actually transformed into a beauty.


    The beauty collapsed beside the large tree that had just grown weakly, unconscious to the world.


    That large tree suddenly transformed with a sway of its body and became the appearance of a youth. Who could it be if not Ye Qing?


    But Ye Qing''s current condition, even Ye Yuan was greatly shocked too.


    Just how long had it been? Ye Qing actually directly rose to peak Tier 9!


    What on earth did this guy do?


    Just as Ye Yuan was in amazement, Ye Qing already mustered up enough essence energy, planning on giving that beauty a lethal blow.


    Jia Lan''s expression changed drastically. How could he still care about Ye Yuan? His figure sped towards Ye Qing like lightning.


    However, it was too late!


    Rumble!


    The place the beauty was at was directly smashed into sludge by Ye Qing.


    The attack power of the peak Tier 9 Ye Qing could not be underestimated.


    Everything was over!


    Jia Lan looked at the debris all over the ground blankly but already could not find traces of that beauty.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded with shock.


    This great fiend came into being and was actually finished off by a youth right away?


    Ye Yuan looked at Ye Qing and said with a tragic smile, "You punk, really have some capabilities! What on earth did you do? Why would your strength advance tremendously?"


    Ye Qing said with a smile, "You all know that the Dao Spirit Fruit is able to let martial artists step into Deity Realm. Then do you know the origin of the Dao Spirit Tree?


    Ye Yuan was stunned, the him who boasted of being all-knowing was also stumped this time.


    Legends only had it that the Dao Spirit Tree was a divine tree that could only bear one Dao Spirit Fruit every 1.5 million years.


    But the origin of the Dao Spirit Tree, Ye Yuan had never heard before. Because it was likely very hard for even Deity Realm powerhouses to live for as long as 1.5 million years.


    Looking at Ye Qing''s expression, Ye Yuan suddenly had some realization.


    Dao Spirit Tree, Azure Spirit Tree, one word apart, could it be �� the two actually had some connections?


    Sure enough, Ye Qing said, "Once the Azure Spirit Tree attains Dao, it will transform into a Dao Spirit Tree! But the time required for the evolution of this process is far too long. Hence, there are virtually very few people who know."


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan was endlessly amazed too.


    He even thought that the Dao Spirit Tree was a heaven and earth spiritual plant and was born a divine tree. He did not think that it actually evolved from an Azure Spirit Tree.


    "But this Dao Spirit Tree is clearly already withered, so how did you ��" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    "This Dao Spirit Tree should be what an ancient powerhouse used to assist the grand array in suppressing the devil flower. It''s just, they never expected that this devil flower was incomparably cunning, and actually planted a devil seed on the Dao Spirit Tree, leaching onto the Azure Spirit Tree. Countless years passed, but the life force of the Azure Spirit Tree was drained away by the devil flower. The Dao Spirit Tree and Dao Spirit Fruit that we saw previously were merely an illusion formed by the devil flower. Because she leached on the Dao Spirit Tree, we were completely unable to differentiate the truth and false through the grand array at all."


    Ye Qing''s words made Ye Yuan sighed endlessly. A perfectly fine Dao Spirit Tree was actually gone just like that.


    Ye Qing continued unhurriedly, "Although the Dao Spirit Tree died, how vibrant was its life force? Furthermore, even though that devil flower exhausted the Dao Spirit Tree to death, countless years of suppression still made her expenditure immense. I''m from the same origin as the Dao Spirit Tree, latching onto it directly severed that devil flower''s escape route, then I siphoned her life force crazily. Under my scheming, her vitality was greatly injured as well."


    Ye Qing did not avoid Jia Lan when talking. After Jia Lan heard, his face turned livid with rage.


    He gnashed his teeth in hatred, but without the Holy Mother Devil Flower, he was completely powerless and alone currently.


    "Retreat!" Jia Lan gritted his teeth and said.


    He was just thinking of moving but discovered that a large group of martial artists already encircled the surroundings.


    These martial artists were all remnants under the Holy Mother Devil Flower''s besiegement. 100 thousand martial artists, only two to three thousand people remained.


    Their hatred towards Jia Lan was completely unable to use words to describe.


    "Run! Go on and run!"


    "You, these insidious and cunning fiends, didn''t think that there would be instant-retribution, right?"


    "Everybody, attack together! We must rip this guy''s corpse apart!"


    The martial artists able to survive were all experts among experts. Even if not divine king powerhouses, their concept''s comprehension was definitely very high as well.


    Their strength left no room for doubt.


    These two to three thousand martial artists attacking together was really more than what Jia Lan could handle.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, still feeling that something was not right.


    Logically speaking, the die was cast. But why was the foreboding premonition in his heart getting heavier and heavier?


    Right then, a glint appeared in Ye Yuan''s gaze. He caught a hint of a mocking smile at the corners of Jia Lan''s mouth!


    Although it was only that instant, it was absolutely not wrong!


    "Not good! Everybody, quickly scatter! The Holy Mother Devil Flower isn''t dead at all! She lured everyone over to catch all in one fell swoop!" Ye Yuan yelled.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone''s faces changed greatly. They would no longer doubt Ye Yuan''s words. Each and every one urged their movement technique to the limits, wanting to escape this stretch of land.


    Right at this time, black gas rose up on the surface of the ground and enveloped everyone inside all at once.

 1075 Despairing Laughter

    In a blink of an eye, countless devil vines broke out of the earth.


    In a relatively narrow and small radius, these martial artists had no time to even run at all!


    Those countless devil vines towered up into the sky, sealing off all of their escape routes.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Purplish-black devil vines entangled these people tightly. Not a single one escaped, including Ye Yuan and Ye Qing!


    With this, it was actually total annihilation!


    Ye Yuan was still thinking of merging into heaven and earth, but the devil vines did not give him any chance at all, directly smacking him out of the void.


    Ye Yuan''s hands and legs were completely restrained. All the essence energy in his body actually could not be used at all!


    This Holy Mother Devil Flower was seriously too bizarre.


    That Holy Mother Devil Flower was not finished off by Ye Qing at all, but infiltrated underground, in order to prepare this final blow.


    The more those martial artists killed, the more scattered they got, and the more powerful their strength as well. Routing individually was rather difficult.


    But this Holy Mother Devil Flower acted out a big play together with Jia Lan, appearing weak to the enemy, and deceiving everyone.


    "ARGH!!"


    "ARGH!!"


    "ARGH!!"


    ...


    Waves of tragic screams lingered incessantly. The remaining martial artists were also drained of blood essence one by one.


    Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, however, the devil vines seemed to not have the intention of making a move for the time being yet.


    That beautiful woman walked out from among the devil vines and came before Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, while Jia Lan followed closely behind.


    "Giggle, little babies whose hairs aren''t even fully grown yet actually pulled tricks with this holy mother. You guys are still a bit too inexperienced!" the beautiful lady said with a chuckle.


    This beautiful woman was peerlessly amorous. Slender and graceful, blue upper-garment half-exposed, one look, and it could hook away a person''s soul.


    With this chuckle, she was even more stunningly beautiful.


    But how could the current Ye Yuan be in the mood to go and admire her beauty? This fiendish woman was not a kind person. That was an existence that could claim lives.


    The devilish woman lightly caressed Ye Qing''s face and said with a smile, "Azure Spirit Tree child, even your ancestor wasn''t my match, let alone you! Allowed you some benefits, but you know how to give a plum in return for a peach and lured so many people over. This holy mother really doesn''t know how to thank you!"


    Ye Qing glared at the devilish woman, bared his teeth in anger, and said, "You despicable and insidious woman, this young lord will definitely kill you personally!~"


    But the devilish woman did not care a whit. She still giggled and said, "Why does it sound like you''re praising me? Little child, you can''t even fend for yourself right now, still thinking about killing me?"


    "Shameless!" Ye Yuan spat.


    The devilish woman spun in front of Ye Yuan, her breath like orchids as she said with a light laugh, "Little child, you''re very decent! All of the people were beguiled by the Dao Spirit Fruit, but only you were able to maintain your original heart. Truly not easy. It''s just a shame that your strength is a little weak. Otherwise, you really might pose a threat to this holy mother."


    At this time, Jia Lan stepped forward and said to the devilish woman, "Lord Holy Mother, this boy is this era''s son of heaven''s mandate. Not only does he have Absolute Heaven''s Vast Heaven Stele, even the Soul Suppressing Pearl, which the Heaven One Sect lost, is actually in his hands too! This boy can''t be spared. Lord Holy Mother better kill him as soon as possible."


    The moment Jia Lan said that, even the devilish woman was endlessly shocked too.


    "What did you say? The Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, these two items are both in his possession?" The devilish woman''s voice raised an octave, looking at Ye Yuan with flickering bewilderment.


    Jia Lan nodded and said, "Absolutely true!"


    He recounted the matter of just breaking open the seal several years ago, leaving the devilish woman unbelievably astonished.


    The Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl were existences capable of threatening the fiend race but gathered in the hands of one person. It could be seen how powerful Ye Yuan''s destiny was.


    "If it''s as you said, this boy absolutely can''t be spared! Forget it, kill and be done with things here! With the death of the son of heaven''s mandate, nobody can stop the footsteps of my fiend race''s ascent!" said the devilish woman.


    No one saw the devilish woman made any action. But then, vines started to devour Ye Yuan''s blood essence frenziedly.


    The vines seemed to have grown roots and sprouted on his body, directly growing into his flesh, drawing all the blood in his body out.


    Ye Yuan''s body started to be like the other martial artists, rapidly shriveling.


    This devilish woman killed people with batting an eyelid from start to end and was not the least bit long-winded at all, killing right away.


    At this time, the essence energy in Ye Yuan''s entire body was being controlled. He was completely unable to use an iota of strength.


    Ye Yuan knew that at this rate, he was dead for sure!


    Gritting his teeth, Ye Yuan poured all of his emperor qi into the Vast Heaven Stele in one go.


    Rumble!


    A surge of terrifying strength that originated from the primordial suddenly awakened within Ye Yuan''s body, directly sending the devilish woman and Jia Lan flying out.


    The devil vines immediately collapsed under this surge of power that swept away all obstacles in the way, turning into a pile of fine powder.


    The devilish woman''s expression suddenly changed and said, "Not good, this boy is already capable of controlling the Vast Heaven Stele!"


    Ye Yuan gave a loud cry. He shouted, "Vast Heaven Stele, suppress for me!"


    The Vast Heaven Stele immediately flew out from inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda and suppressed down on the devilish woman and Jia Lan, akin to an enormous mountain.


    Rumble!


    The earth immediately started quaking. The Vast Heaven Stele directly suppressed the devilish woman and Jia Lan below.


    Ye Yuan was very clear that the Vast Heaven Stele''s suppression carried powers of law. Back then, when resisting the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, it was evenly-matched too.


    Using it to suppress a few fiendish things should not be any problem.


    Dong dong dong!


    Those vines retreated like tidewater once more. It was just that this time, the martial artists that still survived were scanty few.


    Even a Void Mystic powerhouse like Sword Thirteen was also more dead than alive at this time, only left with one breath.


    How could those divine king experts still be capable of surviving?


    But Ye Yuan completely could not be bothered with them anymore. His blood essence was also drained as much as 40% in one go. Adding the 10% blood essence that using the Sacred Dragon Token previously expended, half of the blood essence within his body was drawn away.


    Adding on activating the Vast Heaven Stele, the emperor qi in his body was stripped empty.


    Current, Ye Yuan''s entire person was dispirited and inert, also merely left with one breath hanging in there.


    This devilish woman was too terrifying. In just this half a day''s time, close to 50 thousand martial artists were actually slaughtered clean by her!


    However, Ye Qing''s condition was much better than Ye Yuan''s.


    He came over to support Ye Yuan and said, rather embarrassedly, "Sorry, i-it was my oversight."


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing to do with you. This devilish woman is too cunning. Furthermore, she''s an existence that even an ancient major power could not take care of. How could she be so easy to kill?"


    His voice had yet to fade when the Vast Heaven Stele suddenly started to shake vigorously.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan and Ye Qing''s expressions both changed drastically.


    Could it be that this devilish woman still had the strength to spare?


    The Vast Heaven Stele was already Ye Yuan''s final means. If it was still useless, they could only wait to die.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became incomparably ugly. However, the matter still developed in the worst direction.


    "Hehe, such a shame �� You''ve only barely managed to activate the Vast Heaven Stele and can''t even use one-ten thousandth of its capabilities. Using it to suppress this holy mother is still inadequate! Boy, you can go and die already!" The devilish woman''s coquettish voice suddenly sounded out, making Ye Yuan and Ye Qing give rise to despair in their hearts.

 1076 Divine Sword sEvil Exterminations

    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele suddenly started trembling intensely. Clouds of black gas crept out from the bottom of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele.


    The more black gas that gathered, the more terrifying the fiendish energy. That violent fiendish energy actually propped the Vast Heaven Stone Stele up!


    Rumble!


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele was actually pushed flying just like this!


    This surge of fiendish energy was seriously too powerful.


    The devilish woman''s lithe figure indistinctly appeared and disappeared in the black gas.


    "Hehe, without heaven and earth laws, there''s no way to achieve the Deity Realm. Even if you''re the son of heaven''s mandate, you''re unable to unleash the true power of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele. You''re still too tender to be suppressing this holy mother. Little child, this big sister will send you on your way right now. It won''t be too painful."


    At this time, the devilish woman''s fiendish energy surged to the sky, dyeing the entire sky black. Jia Lan''s fiendish energy simply paled in comparison in front of her!


    However, even though the devilish woman was fine, Jia Lan''s fleshy body was crushed into pieces by the Vast Heaven Stone Stele.


    The fleshy body that he cultivated for several years was actually ruined just like this.


    The current Jia Lan became a cloud of black gas once more, even emitting wailing sounds continuously.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he revealed a look of despair as well.


    No wonder Jia Lan was so respectfully in front of her. Being suppressed for countless of years, she actually still had such formidable strength.


    The terrifying devil vines turned into sharp spikes and directly stabbed over towards Ye Yuan.


    This was a lethal blow. Ye Yuan no longer had strength leftover to resist.


    Ye Qing''s expression changed. Two hands forming a seal, he similarly summoned innumerable vines, attempting to resist those sharp spikes'' assassination.


    It was just that his vines could not stand up to a single blow at all in front of the devil vine.


    The sharp spikes broke through the blockade like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, charging towards Ye Yuan and Ye Qing.


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes painfully. Even the Vast Heaven Stone Stele could not deal with this devilish woman. He was really completely out of ideas.


    He knew that this devilish woman still had not recovered to her peak state currently. Once this devilish woman came into being, probably even the Ten Great Divine Kings were not a match either.


    Just as Ye Yuan was at the boundary of awaiting death, a change suddenly occurred!


    Rumble ��


    Inside the void, incomparably piercingly cold sword energy suddenly erupted.


    Above the sky, countless pale-yellow sword energy surged willfully, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.


    That towering fiendish energy was actually gradually dissipated by these.


    Whoosh!


    A ray of pale-yellow sword energy tore through the sky, directly chopping down from high up in the air.


    The vines currently stabbing towards Ye Yuan were actually forcefully chopped in half by this ray of sword energy.


    The devilish woman was just being pleased with herself when all of a sudden, her expression changed greatly, and she looked towards above the sky abruptly.


    "Damn it! Absolute Heaven that old bastard, he actually even prepared a contingency plan! This sword energy is definitely Evil Extermination!"


    The devilish woman cried out in alarm, her scream filled with dread.


    On the face of the all along incomparably composed devilish woman, a look of panic finally appeared on her face.


    Seizing the opportunity where the devilish woman was absent-minded, Ye Qing grabbed Ye Yuan and sprinted into the distance.


    Toward Ye Qing''s action, the devilish woman did not stop him at all. She had a look of panic on her face and yelled, "Quickly leave! It''s the Evil Extermination Sword! Absolute Heaven that old bastard, so irritating even after he died!"


    How could the devilish woman still care about finding trouble with Ye Yuan? She immediately turned into an afterimage, speeding for the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s exit.


    Jia Lan, Sun Ma, and the rest also knew that things were bad, all fleeing for their lives like flying.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    At this time, shattering sounds came from above the void. A rift was actually directly torn open in that space.


    An enormous threaded-pommel longsword slowly came out from within the void.


    The entire space was trembling. The originally already incomparably piercingly cold sword energy became several times more violent at this time!.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Several streaks of sword energy directly tore through the sky and struck the devilish woman and the others, who were currently running with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder, which left no time for covering ears.


    "ARGHH!!"


    A series of miserable cries reached over. Those few whose strengths were slightly weaker were actually immediately ground to death by the sword energy.


    The devilish woman also let out a shrill miserable scream. But her body only slightly paused for a bit before speeding hastily into the distance again.


    That threaded-pommel longsword already appeared fully from within the void. The sword energy that exuded made Ye Yuan''s scalp tingle, virtually unable to breathe.


    "This �� Is this the might of a Deity Realm powerhouse? So powerful! Really so powerful!" Ye Yuan could not be bothered with the injuries on his body as he muttered.


    After the enormous threaded-pommel longsword appeared, it stopped in the air just like that. The void behind it gradually closed up.


    The devilish woman could not resist turning around to take a look at the longsword. Her eyes immediately became wide saucers.


    "Damn it! Absolute Heaven, you old bastard! Don''t let this holy mother find your grotto! Otherwise, I''ll definitely dig you out and whip your corpse!" the devilish woman cried out shrilly.


    However, the threaded-pommel longsword naturally would not be threatened by her. After it stopped in the air for a few breaths of time, it transformed into a streak of flowing light with a whoosh, chopping towards the devilish woman.


    The threaded-pommel longsword''s speed was unbelievably fast. It drew a beautiful half-arc in the air. In virtually a blink of an eye, it caught up to the devilish woman.


    "ARGHH!!"


    A shrill wretched cry cut across the sky. Even when separated so far away, it made Ye Yuan breakout in goosebumps all over too.


    A cloud of faint black gas surged to the skies. But Ye Yuan discovered that the black gas''s aura was incomparably weak, practically on the verge of withering away already.


    Ye Yuan used all of his abilities and was also incapable of shaking the Holy Mother Devil Flower. But she was actually nearly eradicated by this slash.


    Ye Yuan and Ye Qing exchanged a glance, both seeing the look of shock in the other party''s eyes.


    "Lord Holy Mother, quickly leave!"


    The target of this slash was the Holy Mother Devil Flower. But the threaded-pommel giant sword was too terrifying. Jia Lan was implicated by the sword energy, aggravating his existing injuries even more.


    However, Jia Lan''s condition at this time was slightly better compared to the Holy Mother Devil Flower. He grabbed hold of the Holy Mother Devil Flower, transformed into two clouds of black gas, and vanished from within the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    All of the dust settled. Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh in relief.


    This great battle was truly perilous to the extreme. If that threaded-pommel giant sword was any slower, Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    Looking at the Immemorial Medicine Garden in disarray, Ye Yuan sighed unceasingly too.


    Over 100 thousand martial artists entered inside and were actually slaughtered easily!


    Even Ye Yuan did not think that this Immemorial Medicine Garden was actually a place where an ancient major power suppressed a fiend race''s major power. And this fiend race major power was even adept in schemes, and actually deceived 100 thousand martial artists into breaking the formation together, letting her break free.


    That devilish woman''s strength was too horrifying. Even if Ye Yuan possessed a heaven-defying item like the Vast Heaven Stone Stele, he felt powerless to handle too.


    Right at this time, a streak of flowing light flew over from a distance. Incomparably fierce and sharp sword energy approached from far away, making Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically.


    "Not good, this sword wouldn''t kill even us too, right?" Ye Qing turned pale with fright and said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "If it wants to kill us, we can''t run either."


    Clank!


    That threaded-pommel longsword flew right in front of Ye Yuan and stood in the air quietly.


    At this time, the threaded-pommel longsword was already no longer as massive as when it just appeared. It was just slightly longer than an ordinary sword. There was not much difference.


    It was just that the sword energy emanating off its body still made one''s blood run cold.


    Ye Yuan looked over and discovered that two words were engraved below the sword hilt: Evil Extermination!

 1077 Had You Known This Day Would Come, Why Act as You Did Back Then

    "Ye Yuan, it wouldn''t kill us, right?"


    Sensing that oppressive sword energy, Ye Qing still had some lingering fear in his heart.


    The impression that Evil Extermination''s unyielding slash left for Ye Qing previously was simply too deep.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Doesn''t seem like it! It seems to be �� making me accept it!"


    Ye Qing was stunned and said in disbelief, "Are you joking! This Evil Extermination Sword is a divine artifact! On what basis would it want you to accept it for no reason whatsoever?"


    Ye Yuan struggled, wanting to get up. But because his injuries were too severe, it made him feel a wave of heart-tearing pain.


    "Help me over!" Ye Yuan said.


    "R-Really have to go over?" Ye Qing was still rather afraid.


    "No sh*t! If it wanted to kill us, we''d be long dead! Hurry up!" Ye Yuan urged.


    Ye Qing had no choice and could only support Ye Yuan, following him at every step, and came before the Evil Exterminating Sword.


    When Ye Yuan drew close, the Evil Extermination Sword became resplendent all of a sudden, giving off a pale-yellow light.


    Ye Qing jumped in fright and involuntarily took a step back.


    But this retreat tugged onto Ye Yuan''s wounds, making it hurt until he winced in pain.


    "I say, you''re a heaven and earth spiritual plant too, so why are you intimidated by a sword? Isn''t it shameful!" Ye Yuan said crossly.


    Ye Qing said, rather embarrassedly, "The power of Deity Realm is unimaginable!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes. But he actually understood Ye Qing very much in his heart too. That attack earlier, forget about Ye Qing, even he was also deeply shaken.


    That was the true power of Deity Realm!


    Ye Yuan knew that even though that blow did not surpass the limits of Deity Realm, what it used was absolutely Divine Dao laws!


    The power of that sword should be the strongest attack that could be released at present in this world.


    This sword made Ye Yuan feel a deep longing towards Deity Realm.


    But Ye Yuan understood that he was currently too far away from Deity Realm!


    Sucking in a deep breath, Ye Yuan stepped forward and grabbed hold of the Evil Extermination Sword''s sword hilt.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, directly sending Ye Qing flying.


    Ye Qing tumbled a few rounds on the ground, scrambled to his feet, and was just about to go save Ye Yuan, but discovered to his shock that the injuries on Ye Yuan''s body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    This Evil Extermination Sword was actually helping Ye Yuan treat his wounds!


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s entire person was enveloped in a ball of yellow light, his expression serene, an appearance of enjoying immensely.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Qing was incredibly shocked. Could it be that this Evil Extermination Sword really acknowledged Ye Yuan as its master?


    Really strange!


    Ye Qing knew that Ye Yuan acquired many treasures these last few years. It could be said to be heaven-defying destiny.


    But something like today where a divine artifact took the initiative to come knocking on the door, was too preposterous, right?


    Even obtaining the Sacred Dragon Token, Ye Yuan escaped death by a hair''s breadth too, only obtaining after passing the final trail.


    But speaking of which, the treasures currently on Ye Yuan were simply heaven-defying.


    Tier 9 primordial spirit essence fire, Tier 9 Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, Sacred Dragon Token, Vast Heaven Pagoda, Vast Heaven Stone Stele, Soul Suppressing Pearl. Taking any item out would drive the world insane.


    But something like today where a divine artifact was urging Ye Yuan to accept it, it was really for the first time still.


    One had to acknowledge that Ye Qqing''s eyeballs fell to the ground.


    In truth, how was Ye Qing the only one whose eyeballs dropped onto the ground?


    Sword Thirteen the few of them were not thoroughly dead yet. Although they had quite a bit of blood essence drawn away, they were not in danger of losing their lives. It was just that their strength would likely have to be greatly diminished.


    Their bodies were unable to move currently, but they did not fall unconscious.


    This scene of Ye Yuan taking in Evil Extermination landed in their eyes, nearly making them faint dead.


    This Evil Extermination''s shocking slash earlier, they all saw it crystal clear. That power simply sent their minds reeling.


    Such a supreme treasure actually acknowledged Ye Yuan as master without doing anything at all?


    Why didn''t this sort of good thing land on their heads?


    Currently, Ye Yuan was basking in comfort from head to toe. The pain and fatigue brought about by the battle earlier were swept clean very quickly.


    Abundant essence energy flowed into his essence energy sea. Emperor qi also rose densely.


    What gave Ye Yuan a pleasant surprise was that these essence energies were not ordinary essence energy, but �� divine essence!


    In the essence energy sea, that tiny bit of divine essence was going to be depleted fully very soon. He did not think that Evil Extermination actually replenished it for him.


    Before long, the divine essence within Ye Yuan''s body grew to even more than when Ye Yuan entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda in the past.


    With this Evil Extermination Sword, the power of Ye Yuan''s divine king domain would increase greatly!


    Ye Yuan knew that these divine essences were merely a tiny residual bit of what remained after that slash by Evil Extermination.


    But this bit was already sufficient to Ye Yuan.


    Even if inside his essence energy sea was full of divine essence currently, Ye Yuan was also unable to unleash Evil Extermination''s true power. His current strength was too weak.


    Ye Yuan completely did not think that he actually profited from a misfortune this time. Not only did divine essence spike greatly, he even obtained a divine artifact again!


    The Starmoon Sword was already somewhat impeding to the current Ye Yuan.


    Absorbing so much divine essence, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm already reached peak Second Level Dao Profound, looking as if he was about to break through to Third Level Dao Profound already.


    But his current blood essence losses were too severe, and he was totally unable to breakthrough. Helpless, he could only suppress his cultivation realm, and make a breakthrough again after recovering blood essence.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan deployed a spell and put the Vast Heaven Stone Stele away into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    While at this time, the Evil Extermination Sword disappeared with a whoosh.


    Ye Yuan was first startled, then immediately revealed a look of realization.


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, the Evil Extermination Sword suspended quietly in the sky above the Vast Heaven Stone Stele. The two chimed to each other across a distance and actually seemed like old friends who had not met for many years.


    No wonder the Evil Extermination Sword would acknowledge him as its master. It seemed like it was all because of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele!


    Furthermore, when the devilish woman came into being previously, the Evil Extermination Sword held off on coming out. The moment the Vast Heaven Stone Stele emerged, it came into being.


    Looks like the crux of drawing out the Evil Extermination Sword was still the Vast Heaven Stone Stele!


    Could it be that these two treasures were actually of the same source countless years ago?


    Finishing with all this, Ye Yuan came beside Sword Thirteen and the rest, and said with an emotional sigh, "If you brought Jian Wushuang away back then, he wouldn''t have ended up in such a state either! This world has divine objects, but it''s easier said than done to want to break through to Deity Realm! At present, how can this heaven and earth possibly give birth to the Dao Spirit Fruit, this kind of miraculous item?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Sword Thirteen turned his head over painfully and ashamedly.


    In the great battle previously, Jian Wushuang ultimately still could not escape misfortune and was killed by the devil vines.


    Thinking about it, how sincere was Ye Yuan''s warning back then! If they were not blinded by obsession, how could they have this outcome today?


    Jian Wushuang''s demise was a tremendous blow to the Heavenly Sword Sect.


    Although he was not a Void Mystic powerhouse, he was the sect-master successor that the Heavenly Sword Sect spent extremely great resources to groom.


    With his demise, the Heavenly Sword Sect would have to face the danger of an interrupted generation.


    The decline of a great holy land would most likely start from this incident.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Today''s situation, you all experienced it too. The fiend race has already plotted for god knows how many years for the sake of today. There''s already not the slightest bit of meaning for us to carry on fighting internally. The spirit medicines in this Immemorial Medicine Garden are extremely abundant. Later on, I''ll refine several mystic grade medicinal pills to help you all recover blood essence."

 1078 Holy Region

    Inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Sword Thirteen, Shu Yunqing, Ding Zhanguo, and the others, all five Void Mystic powerhouses, looked towards Ye Yuan with a grateful look.


    Two months had already passed since the incident with the fiend race.


    In this period of time, Ye Yuan collected quite a few spirit medicines inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden and refined a batch of blood essence recovering medicinal pills, letting these few people recover blood essence at long last.


    Including Ye Yuan, the injuries this time was too severe. Even with large quantities of spirit medicines, everyone also spent two month''s time before barely managing to recover.


    But after the few of them went through this, even if they recovered blood essence, their strength was greatly diminished too.


    These few people''s age were not young anymore. This battle could be said to have greatly damaged their vitality. They were already no longer able to reach peak condition anymore.


    The Void Mystic powerhouses that entered this time, not counting Ye Yuan''s side, were as many as 13 people. But currently, there were only a measly few people left.


    The brutality of this great battle could be imagined.


    "Young Master Ji, this time �� it was all thanks to you! I �� am ashamed!" Sword Thirteen''s gratitude carried bashfulness as he said.


    "Young Master Ji saved this Shu twice altogether. Such a great favor, this Shu will never forget it. In the future, if Young Master Ji has anything you need my Heavenly Dawn Palace to help with, feel free to ask away," Shu Yunqing said gratefully.


    He was schemed against by He Dajiang the last time and almost died. It was Ye Yuan who saved him.


    Even though Ye Yuan snatched away the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma, Ye Yuan saving his life was a fact.


    The other few people were also endlessly grateful, expressing thanks to Ye Yuan.


    This great battle, from start to end, it was Ye Yuan restraining the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan, these two great fiends. They all, these Void Mystic powerhouses, basically played supporting characters.


    Even that deadly slash at the end had extremely deep connections to Ye Yuan too.


    These few people were all extremely perceptive people. They could naturally discern that a divine artifact like Evil Extermination, absolutely would not acknowledge Ye Yuan as master without rhyme or reason.


    Prior to this, their impression of Ye Yuan still stopped at that kid who only wholeheartedly knew pill refinement.


    But now, their impression of Ye Yuan was already thoroughly overhauled.


    Scheming, strength, destiny, plus alchemy path cultivation, Ye Yuan was a heaven-defying existence in all of them.


    The present Ye Yuan was already totally different from that Ji Qingyun back then.


    He had already matured into a genuine powerhouse!


    "Everyone, no need to be courteous. Saving you all isn''t because this Ye is very kindhearted. I just want to preserve a portion of strength for the Divine Realm. Probably before long, the calamity of the fiend race will utterly erupt. At that time, the human race is bound to have a great battle with the fiend race. All of you leaving behind a useful body, when the time comes, contribute a portion of strength for the human race!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    If it were before, Ye Yuan definitely would not care about the few of them and just let them run their own course.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s thinking was different.


    Evil Extermination Sword acknowledging him as master made a sort of mission spontaneously well up in his heart.


    Even though many things were buried in the annals of history, after going through so much, Ye Yuan knew that the war between the human race and fiend race had actually been continuing all along!


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele should have already changed several masters. Each master likely had an earth-shaking great battle with the fiend race.


    The most recent one should be Fang Tian.


    Very clearly, the fiend race was suppressed. But no matter how they were suppressed, the fiend race did not die out.


    Ye Yuan walking along the way, one after another fiend race''s powerful existences were clearly intentionally let out by people.


    Coupled with the Medicine King Hall''s change, the fiend race was probably scheming another counterattack to regain lost ground!


    And this time, it was likely different from any one time in the past!


    That time 50 thousand years ago, there was only one Heavenly Fiendgod. But this time, there was the additional Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan.


    Once these fiends recovered strength, they absolutely did not pale the slightest in comparison to the Heavenly Fiendgod!


    Where would the present human race go to find a second Fang Tian? Even the Ten Great Divine Kings likely could not reach Fang Tian''s level too.


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan was most apprehensive of was still that faction behind Ji Canglan!


    Just how long had that faction been infesting in the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan did not dare to imagine at all.


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele found him. Now, the Evil Extermination Sword found him too, making the pressure on Ye Yuan''s shoulders suddenly become heavy.


    Natural laws cycle, the great responsibility in this age may fall on him.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, the expressions of Sword Thirteen and the rest turned fearful.


    Those two fiends were seriously too powerful. Such a horrifying slash of Evil Extermination was actually unable to kill them.


    "Young Master Ji, rest assured. After returning this time, our Heavenly Sword Sect will officially declare war on the Medicine King Hall!" Sword Thirteen pledged solemnly.


    "Our Heavenly Dawn Palace will also declare war on the Medicine King Hall right away!" Shu Yunqing said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The Medicine King Hall being closed for 20 years, their present strength, we have no way of finding out. With my understanding of Ji Canglan, he probably won''t wait passively for the end. If we''re a pile of loose sand, we might suffer a huge loss instead, when the time comes."


    When the few people heard these words, they did not say anything on the surface, but in their hearts, they were very disdainful.


    The Medicine King Hall''s strength at their prime could only rank in the middle among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands as well.


    Now that Ji Zhangyang and Ji Qingyun, these two people were no longer around, how great could the Medicine King Hall''s strength be?


    How many powerhouses could be created in 20 years'' time?


    With two great super holy lands declaring war on them at the same time, the pressure on them would increase suddenly.


    Even if they sought refuge from the fiend race, how many powerhouses could the fiend race groom in 20 years'' time?


    Super holy lands'' powerhouses, the majority had a kind of fervent self-confidence.


    Of course, one could not say that they were wrong to have this sort of fervent self-confidence. Because in normal understanding, they were that group of people standing at the very summit of the Divine Realm.


    They controlled the direction of the entire Divine Realm.


    Ye Yuan knew that this sort of perception could not be changed in a short time.


    He thought about it and said, "How about this, after you two return, notify Sect Master Jian and Palace Lord Lin first. This Ye will head for the Holy Region within the next few days and inform those few old fellows about the fiend race''s matters, let them come forward and unite the other holy lands to launch an attack towards Ji Canglan together. At that time, he''ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings."


    Among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands, the Holy Region was one of the most powerful super holy lands.


    Those few old-monster class powerhouses, each and every one of them was not at all inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    The Divine Realm''s matters were normally each acting of their own free will. But everyone would still answer and gather under the Holy Region''s rallying call.


    The state of affairs was so serious this time. Ye Yuan reckoned that those few old fellows should also be incapable of sitting still anymore.


    As long as they eradicated Ji Canglan and dug out the faction behind them, then dragged the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Jia Lan in seriously injured conditions out, the crisis of the fiend race would be easily resolved.


    "Alright, then we''ll have to trouble Young Master Ji to make a trip! When we eliminate Ji Canglan, I welcome Young Master Ji to come to my Heavenly Sword Sect to be a guest! I''ll take my leave here!"


    Done talking, Sword Thirteen immediately left the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    "Young Master Ji don''t need to worry too much. That Ji Canglan throwing his lot with the fiend race has already infuriated public wrath, he absolutely won''t have a good end! Once this matter is over, Young Master Ji must come to my Heavenly Dawn Palace to be a guest and let this Shu carry out the hospitality of a host somewhat!"


    Shu Yunqing and Ding Zhanguo greeted and also left.

 1079 Reverse-Checkmate

    Looking at the few people''s departing back view, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.


    Seemed like Sword Thirteen and Sword Thirteen did not take his words in at all.


    But a super holy land''s every movement and action was also not that easy. He needed to hurry and make a trip to the Holy Region.


    With a bout of great battle, the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was already in utter disarray.


    Those few million-year-old medicine spirits had long run to god knows where. The matter of finding spirit medicines, Ye Yuan could only give up as well.


    Two months had passed, the outside world still did not know what kind of accident happened. This trip to the Holy Region was best as soon as possible.


    At Cloudmarsh City, inside the City Lord Manor, Old Man Han furrowed his brows when he finished hearing Ye Yuan giving an account of the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s events this time.


    "Old Man Han, you''re also a Divine Realm''s bigwig-class figure. It''s absolutely impossible to not have heard about the fiend race''s matters. Now that the fiend race has come into being once more, you probably can''t look on with folded arms, right?" Ye Yuan said.


    Old Man Han said with knitted brows, "Such an important matter, this old man naturally won''t look on with folded arms. When exterminating the Medicine King Hall, send a word. This old man will naturally make my way over. It''s just that �� sigh ��"


    As Old Man Han was talking, he let out a long sigh.


    The Holy Mother Devil Flower coming into being virtually extracted all of the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s essence energy dry.


    The current Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically just an empty husk. Those several dozen million-year-old spirit medicines virtually all fled in all directions and could not be gotten back at all.


    With a great battle, no idea how many spirit medicines were ruined either. Just think about it, a great battle that affected over 100 thousand martial artists, that destructive power was simply unimaginable.


    The entire Immemorial Medicine Garden was practically a wasteland.


    Without the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City''s status in the Divine Realm would naturally be greatly reduced.


    As Cloudmarsh City''s city lord, Old Man Han naturally had sorrow in his heart.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene in front of him, but he simply said with a cold smile, "Old Man Han, your skin is really getting thicker and thicker! I had a great battle inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden with fiend race and barely escaped death, you actually still want to extort the spirit medicines on me!"


    Old Man Han had a problem, that was that he liked to collect all kinds of spirit medicines.


    Even though this was the common disease of all alchemists, Old Man Han was clearly much more ill than the others.


    This Cloudmarsh City did not restrict outsiders from entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden. But the things that martial artists obtained inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Cloudmarsh City took a cut.


    Below Void Mystic experts, even if they were a peak divine king, they also had to hand over the share obediently. Otherwise, they would die very miserably.


    These several thousand years, how many spirit medicines Old Man Han collected was already unimaginable.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden''s upheaval this time, only Ye Yuan the few of them escaped. Old Man Han naturally wanted to take his share of the loot.


    However, Ye Yuan rebuffed him with a word.


    Old Man Han''s face did not turn red nor did his heart beat any faster. He said with a broad smile, "The Immemorial Medicine Garden is already ruined, this Cloudmarsh City of mine won''t live up to its reputation anymore! Younger Brother Ji, you can''t fold your arms and not save me from ruin!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Old Man Han, don''t give me that! The fiend race lurked by the side, but you did not detect at all, resulting in poking such a large hole in the basket. My small life was almost lost inside. Aren''t you going to give me a bit of compensation?"


    Old Man Han was stupefied, not expecting Ye Yuan to actually make a false counter-charge!


    "H-Haha, Younger Brother Ji, making a joke, don''t take it for real! I don''t want it anymore, alright?" Old Man Han joked about it.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Old Man Han, don''t think that I''m joking with you! I recently want to refine some medicinal pills and just happened to still lack several spirit medicines. Have a heart and compensate me!"


    Old Man Han was startled and said with a black face, "Younger Brother, you know that spirit medicines are this old man''s lifeblood. If you really have designs on them, don''t blame me for not being courteous."


    Old Man Han was a first-rate expert, an apex existence in the Divine Realm. Even Void Mystic powerhouses did not dare to be impudent in front of him too.


    But Ye Yuan did not buy it in the slightest.


    "Don''t you want to know how I escaped from the hands of the fiend race? Old Man Han, how about �� we try it out? You can give it a shot whether your medicine garden can still be preserved or not!" Ye Yuan threatened.


    Old Man Han''s face became black as the bottom of a pot. Currently, his intestines were already green with regret.


    If he had long known, he would have met Ye Yuan outside and not bring him inside.


    Previously, hearing Ye Yuan talk about the events inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden, Old Man Han was very astonished in his heart too.


    Over 100 thousand martial artists all died inside. The fiend race''s strength was definitely incomparably fearsome. How did Ye Yuan escape?


    Old Man Han was very confident in his own strength. But facing Ye Yuan, he had no confidence in protecting his medicine garden.


    The Immemorial Medicine Garden was even ruined, let alone talk about his medicine garden.


    Finally, Old Man Han still yielded.


    "You punk, when did you become a scoundrel? Forget it, forget it! Consider yourself ruthless! Whatever spirit medicines you required, pick yourself. But above 300 thousand years, you''re absolutely not allowed to take them away!" Old Man Han said hatefully.


    He did not expect that he failed to fleece a sum and was blackmailed by Ye Yuan instead.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Don''t you worry, the spirit medicines for my refinement, 200-thousand-year old is already enough."


    Looking at Ye Yuan pluck away the spirit medicines in his medicine garden one stalk by one stalk, Old Man Han''s heart was dripping blood.


    ...


    "Ye Yuan, any discovery yet?" Kuang Tianming asked when Ye Yuan returned to the residence.


    Through two months plus of refining medicinal pills, Kuang Tianming finally recovered to his peak state.


    When he was informed about that unbelievably tragic battle in the Immemorial Medicine Garden, his shock could not be any greater.


    And today, Ye Yuan going to extort Old Man Han was not targeting his spirit medicines at all.


    He felt that Old Man Han was very suspicious, so he deliberately wanted to go and probe things out. Except �� the result made him very disappointed.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with furrowed brows, "Old Man Han is a cunning old fox. He doesn''t have any flaws at all! But I keep feeling that he''s somewhat unusual. He has been adjacent to the Immemorial Medicine Garden for several thousand years. Could he be completely unaware of the situation inside? Moreover, the news of the divine rank spirit medicine coming into being this time was also very fishy! I initially thought that it was news disseminated by the Medicine King Hall, but thinking back for a bit, it doesn''t feel too probable either. If say who''s the most convenient to spread this intel, it''s naturally Cloudmarsh City!"


    With this bout of probing today, Ye Yuan did not find any clues at all.


    Kuang Tianming let out a sigh and said, "The matter of the fiend race is complicated and confusing. The only thing that we can be certain right now is the Medicine King Hall. Looks like wanting to open up new prospects, there''s only starting from the Medicine King Hall."


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "There''s only like this. It''s just that those few old fellows from the Holy Region aren''t that easy to convince!"


    Kuang Tianming said, "The matter concerns the rise and fall of the human race. It''s not up to them to not take it seriously!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "The higher the cultivation realm, the greater the power, and the more selfish! Wanting them to take action, it is difficult!"


    The two people were currently chatting when Ruan Shuangzhou suddenly came in to report, "Milord, someone who calls himself Yue Jianfeng arrived outside, saying that he''s paying a visit to Miss Li-er."


    Ye Yuan was stupefied and could not help being somewhat doubtful. What did the Yue Family send Yue Jianfeng to come to find Li-er for at this time?

 1080 Breaking Destiny!

    After Ye Yuan left the City Lord Manor, a figure appeared beside Old Man Han.


    "Looks like he''s already suspicious of you," said that person.


    "This brat is too clever. In the past, he didn''t place his thoughts on this. Returning this time, even I, this old antique, feel a headache towards him!" Old Man Han said.


    "Huhu, this junior apprentice brother of mine is a peerlessly talented person to begin with. Previous life, it was the environment he grew up in that was too comfortable. Hence, that''s why he could not be bothered to place his thoughts on scheming and conspiring. Once he gets serious, even I''m not a match either!"


    This figure was actually Ye Yuan''s senior apprentice brother, Ji Canglan!


    Ye Yuan attempted to probe Old Man Han, but he never would have thought that Old Man Han actually got together with Ji Canglan.


    Hearing Ji Canglan''s words, Old Man Han deeply felt that way too as he nodded his head and said, "This brat''s maturing speed is too terrifying! The last time he came, I already wanted to make a move to keep him behind. But I discovered that I couldn''t see through him at all. That''s why I didn''t act rashly without careful consideration."


    Ji Canglan said, "Luckily, you didn''t make a move against him. Otherwise, this time, Lord Holy Mother probably won''t have a chance to escape."


    "You really view him so highly? The two of us taking action, keeping him behind shouldn''t be hard," Old Man Han said in surprise.


    Ji Canglan said with a faint smile, "It''s not that I view him highly, but that it''s heaven that thinks highly of him! The son of heaven''s mandate isn''t said for fun! If it was so easy to be killed, then it wouldn''t be called the son of heaven''s mandate! I''ve already killed him once, except �� he''s not dead yet, isn''t it so? Our fiend race has counterattacked god knows how many times in the Divine Realm. But each time, it''s foiled at the hands of the child of destiny! This time, we must be doubly cautious!"


    Old Man Han''s expression turned austere as he said, "Could it be that, Holy Son, you infiltrating into the Medicine King Hall, was actually because of him?"


    Although Old Man Han''s strength was formidable, this sort of top-secret matters, he naturally did not know. Most likely, the only ones who knew were the Lord Divine Master out of Ji Canglan''s mouth, as well as Ji Canglan himself, right?


    Only hearing Ji Canglan say so at this time, did Old Man Han have a feeling of suddenly seeing the whole thing in a clear light, thinking through the cause and effect.


    The Divine Realm had Eight Great Super Holy Lands. Even if it was infiltrating, they should also pick the most powerful Holy Region.


    Although the Medicine King Hall was powerful, it was still not worth the Divine Master doing so.


    Moreover, after the holy son killed the Ji father and son, he did not seem to have any further actions either.


    Looking at it now, the holy son infiltrating the Medicine King Hall, his goal from the very start was Ji Qingyun!


    Ji Canglan smiled slightly and nodded as he said, "That''s right! Lord Divine Master purged the fiendish energy in my body with a great magical ability, sealed my memories, and sent me into the Medicine King Hall. The goal was precisely Ji Qingyun! Long during a thousand years ago, Lord Divine Master somewhat sensed that this era''s child of destiny will appear in the Medicine King Hall. I laid low for several hundred years and plotted for a long time before finally finding an opportunity to take action, striking dead with one blow. It''s just, I never thought that that didn''t kill him either! Hence, if Ji Qingyun died here muddleheadedly, then he wouldn''t be the son of heaven''s mandate."


    "Hiss ��" Old Man Han drew a cold breath.


    Such detailed setup, such a deadly blow, was actually unable to kill Ji Qingyun too.


    This boy''s life was also truly too tenacious!


    In the past, he still scoffed in contempt towards the saying of son of heaven''s mandate. But now, he believed it.


    Ji Canglan continued slowly, "I even suspect now that 20 years ago, when I made a move and killed him, it precisely gave him the chance to have a nirvanic rebirth! It was also precisely because I killed him, that it gave him a chance to soar up to the heavens with one bound! Perhaps, all of this was long foreordained already! If without me, maybe he''ll still be that Medicine King Hall''s young lord who''s wholeheartedly obsessed with alchemy Dao! Thinking about it further back, perhaps Divine Master''s response might also have been something long predetermined."


    The more Ji Canglan talked, the more alarmed Old Man Han was.


    These words sounded very incredible, but thinking about it carefully, wasn''t it exactly so?


    With Ji Canglan''s status, he definitely would not utter such incomprehensible words. These words were definitely after he thought it over carefully.


    The life of the son of heaven''s mandate was too tenacious!


    "This �� Doesn''t that mean that no matter what we do, we ultimately still can''t escape the outcome of defeat? This Ji Qingyun can''t be killed at all?" Old Man Han said in amazement.


    According to Ji Canglan''s way of saying things, everything that they were doing right now was all futile. Then, what was the point?


    Ji Canglan smiled and said, "Not unkillable, it''s just that the time hasn''t arrived yet. Since we''ve already failed once, we absolutely can''t fail a second time! The next time we make a move, there must be 100% assurance."


    "This �� How to kill?" Old Man Han said speechlessly.


    Ji Canglan''s expression turned intent, and his gaze was deep as he said, "Want to kill the child of destiny, one must first break his destiny! As long as one breaks his destiny, killing him will be as easy as blowing off dust."


    Old Man Han was stunned and blurted, "Breaking destiny? How to break?"


    Fate was determined by heaven. Regardless of whether it was the human race or fiend race, how could one possibly break destiny?


    Ji Canglan just smiled, and he did not answer Old Man Han.


    ...


    "Uncle Feng, why have you come?"


    Seeing Yue Jianfeng, Li-er was very surprised too.


    Yue Jianfeng looked to be laden with worries, an appearance of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back.


    The moment Li-er saw this appearance, her heart thumped. To be able to make Yue Jianfeng personally make a trip, something unforeseen must have happened to Bright Moon City.


    Yue Jianfeng heaved a sigh and said, "Ancestor''s longevity is drawing to an end and is going to pass away in meditation very soon."


    Li-er''s entire body involuntarily trembled when she heard that!


    "How can it be? Wasn''t Ancestor in closed-seclusion all along these few years? Why would he suddenly ��" Li-er said in disbelief.


    Yue Jianfeng also let out a sigh and said, "Ancestor''s matters, I believe you also know. In his early years, he had a battle with the Zhou Family''s ancestor and had long left behind hidden injuries already. A few days ago, his hidden injuries relapsed. Hence �� his lifespan is exhausted ahead of schedule. Passing away in meditation �� is also a matter of these few months. Li-er, you''re my Yue Family''s most important junior presently. His elderly self hopes to meet you before passing away. There are some things that he wants to instruct you face to face."


    "This ��" The moment Li-er heard, she became caught in a dilemma.


    As a matter of fact, she and the Yue Family''s ancestor did not have overly deep feelings.


    Ever since birth, the ancestor was in closed-seclusion all-year-round and never showed face before.


    But now that his elderly self was about to pass away in meditation, she had to make a trip back no matter what. It was just that Ye Yuan''s pressing matter on hand right now was to make a trip to the Holy Region. This way, it would be marching in opposite directions to Ye Yuan.


    "Big Brother Yuan, I ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since your ancestor wants to see you, you naturally have to make this trip back. Making a trip to the Holy Region, I''m just having a couple of words with those few old freaks. It won''t take too much time either. Once the matters over there are settled, I''ll go to Bright Moon City to find you."


    Actually, Ye Yuan could not bear to part with Li-er too. But a person''s death was major. The Yue Family''s ancestor''s passing away in meditation was near at hand. If he did not let Li-er return, it was seriously going against moral principles.


    Others might, but he himself would not be able to disregard his own conscience on this.

 1081 City in the Sky

    During his previous life, Ye Yuan had heard before that the Yue Family still had a Void Mystic ancestor who stood aloof from worldly affairs. It was just that, did not think that his longevity actually drew to an end coincidentally at this time.


    The Yue Family had already gotten to know Yue Mengli''s potential and would naturally take her to be the Yue Family''s hope.


    How could such an important figure not show up?


    No matter how Ye Yuan loathed to part with Yue Mengli, he also could not do such a thing.


    Yue Mengli hated to part with Ye Yuan even more.


    To her, she only walked together with Ye Yuan after going through hardships and dangers. She wished that she could keep sticking onto Ye Yuan and forever not part with him.


    But the affairs of human life were hard to predict. The Yue Family''s important matter, she obviously could not really ignore it.


    "Ao Qian, follow Li-er. Make sure not to let her suffer any bit of harm. Otherwise, I''ll hold you solely responsible!" Ye Yuan''s tone was a never-before solemn.


    Ao Qian''s expression turned stern as he said, "Yes, milord!"


    But Li-er refused and said, "Big Brother Yuan, this trip of yours is perilous. Those few Holy Region''s major powers aren''t that easygoing. Elder Ao''s strength is very strong, you''d best bring him along beside you. I''m just making a trip back to Bright Moon City, why would I need any protection? If you really can''t put your mind at ease, just let Wu Luo take a trip back with me."


    Yue Jianfeng also said, "Yeah, Lord Qingyun Zi. Bright Moon City is Li-er''s home, could it be that there are still people who dare to bully her?"


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only let Wu Luo accompany Li-er and leave together.


    Watching Li-er''s silhouette disappear in the transmission array, Ye Yuan felt a sense of loss.


    ...


    Holy Region, it was a very special existence.


    It only had one large domain. But this place, it was the entire Divine Realm''s strongest place.


    Not ''one of''!


    The lord of the Holy Region was the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King.


    And the Holy Region was also the one and only faction that possessed a Ten Great Divine King among the Eight Great Super Holy Lands.


    Apart from this, the Alchemist Association that established the entire alchemist system was also situated in the Holy Region.


    Of course, there was still the Heaven''s Secret Tower that was veiled in mystery.


    So many powerful forces, including major forces, gathered in one region. The magnitude of might could be imagined.


    The title of Void Mystic powerhouses was mostly passed down from mouth to mouth.


    But the titles of the Ten Great Divine Kings were set by the Heaven''s Secret Tower.


    Whether or not the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings were accurate or not, nobody knew as well. Because they had never fought before amongst themselves.


    At least, they had never exchanged blows before in front of people.


    But the Ten Great Divine Kings themselves did not seem to have much dissent towards this ranking. They tacit acknowledged this ranking.


    The lord of the Holy Region was titled the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King. Such a peerlessly tyrannical name naturally also represented his incomparably powerful strength.


    "This Holy Region is simply miraculous! Supporting the Divine Realm''s largest city in the sky, how terrifying the essence energy does this require?" Jiang Taicang looked at that city high above the clouds and exclaimed with shock.


    The Holy City was the Holy Region''s hub, and also the Divine Realm''s largest city.


    Except, this city was not on the ground. It was established in the sky.


    The city was submerged in the clouds, unable to see through the actual situation at all. It could even be claimed as miraculous.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "The Holy City is a miracle in the first place, so what''s there to kick up a great fuss over? If talking about which faction''s inheritance in this Divine Realm is preserved the most completely, it''s none other than the Holy City. If not for this case, how could it give birth to Zhuge Qingxuan, that kind of monster?"


    "Zhuge Qingxuan?" Jiang Taicang could not help being stupefied when he heard this name. Clearly, it was very unfamiliar.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That is the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King out of everybody''s mouth, the rank one existence among the Ten Great Divine Kings."


    With this, even Ao Qian could not help perking his ears too.


    He had long heard of the name of the Ten Great Divine Kings, known as the ten strongest people in the Divine Realm presently.


    Then wouldn''t this rank one be the present Divine Realm''s number one person?


    Such an existence, how could they not be interested?


    Ruan Shuangzhou muttered, "Turns out that the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s true name is called Zhuge Qingxuan!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I told you all long ago that these guys like to pretend to be mysterious. But Zhuge Qingxuan is really very strong! The other divine kings'' titles are mostly related to their most-skilled fields, while Zhuge Qingxuan''s isn''t. This guy has virtually no weakness to exploit! His might practically makes people despair."


    The so-called Ten Great Divine Kings were unfathomable existences to other people.


    To a divine king expert like Ruan Shuangzhou, he did not even know Zhuge Qingxuan''s name. But Ye Yuan had friendly relations with quite a few of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Their mysterious veil was nothing in front of Ye Yuan.


    But toward Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength, Ye Yuan still admired greatly.


    Even such a proud fellow like the Spirit Bristle Divine King was full of praises towards Zhuge Qingxuan.


    His might naturally need not be elaborated.


    "Really that impressive? When I recover my strength, I want to find him to exchange views! I want to take a look if this Divine Realm''s number one person currently is really that incredible or not!" Ao Qian said with an unconvinced look.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "The reason why Zhuge Qingxuan is powerful is also that the Holy City''s inheritances are very complete. The Holy City''s foundation has lasted all the way from the Divine Dao era until today. It''s what ordinary factions can''t imagine. Just take this grand array for example. It has operated for countless tens of thousands of years and didn''t wane for a long time. Probably only Deity Realm powerhouses had such ability."


    The secrets in the Holy City were numerous. Just this divine rank grand array before their eyes made people marvel endlessly with admiration.


    Among those fleeting and ephemeral clouds, concealed an incomparably powerful grand array. This grand array had operated all the way from the Divine Dao era till today but did not have the slightest trend of weakening.


    Such a foundation was naturally not what ordinary forces could compare to.


    There had once been many powerhouses who wished to enter into the clouds to check things out. But without exception, they were all turned to dregs.


    Over the course of time, nobody dared to enter inside anymore.


    "Milord, everyone says that the Holy Region is easy to enter, but the Holy City is hard to go into. How �� should we enter inside?" Ruan Shuangzhou said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You look, hasn''t the ones fetching us arrived?"


    Everyone looked over. Sure enough, they saw a group of people floating down from the Holy City.


    A young man leading cupped his fists towards Ye Yuan and said, "May I ask if it''s Lord Qingyun Zi?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Precisely so."


    The young man said very cordially, "Haha, it''s really Lord Qingyun Zi! This one is Hou Yu, Holy City Purple-Gold Hall''s fifth-seat disciple. Half a month ago, Hou Yu received Lord Cloudsky''s dharmic decree to let me welcome Your Excellency here. I didn''t think that today, Your Excellency finally arrived."


    Regarding the Holy City knowing about his arrival, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    The Holy City was the Divine Realm''s central. It was incomparably well-informed. Ye Yuan did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts either. With their strength, grasping his whereabouts was beyond easy.


    When this Hou Yu said that he was a disciple of the Purple-Gold Hall, a trace of pride flickered across his eyes.


    The Purple-Gold Hall was the hall where the Holy City''s most elite disciples were at. Inside were virtually divine king powerhouses. To be able to rank fifth, his strength was rather out of the ordinary.


    Ye Yuan looked at Hou Yu and said with a smile that was not a smile, "What haughty airs Cloudsky old punk has! This young master arrived, and he actually doesn''t receive personally!"

 1082 Golden Cloud Sky Stairs

    The moment these words came out, the countenance of Hou Yu and the group of disciples behind him suddenly changed.


    This guy proclaimed to be Qingyun Zi before their eyes. His age was much younger than them. But he behaved like a senior when saying these words.


    Who was Cloudsky?


    Cloudsky was one of the three titans of Holy City. His status in the Holy City was second only to the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King.


    Such a character personally appointing a disciple to come out and welcome, could it be that it was still not grand enough?


    This fellow in front of them was also a little too insolent, right?


    "H-Haha, Lord Cloudsky is too busy and truly can''t find time to come and receive Your Excellency. I hope that Your Excellency doesn''t take offense. Your Excellency, enter the city first. When Lord Cloudsky is done with work, he''ll definitely come and pay a courtesy call to Lord Qingyun Zi," Huo Yu said with an obsequious smile.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a cold smile, "Heh, this Cloudsky old punk, isn''t it seeing that this young master is no longer the man I was, having a high opinion of his identity, that''s why he dispatched you all to come forward? Forget it, coming this time is for important matters on hand. I won''t stoop to the level of you all, these juniors."


    Hou Yu had an appearance as if a heavy burden was lifted off. He extended his hand to lead the way as he said, "Lord Qingyun Zi, please!"


    The place Hou Yu pointed at was a mass of golden-colored cloud. Under the shine of the sunlight, it appeared glistening.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "Yo, Golden Cloud Sky Stairs. Cloudsky old punk is still giving a lot of face, huh?"


    Hou Yu said smilingly, "What''s Lord Qingyun Zi saying? Your Excellency is the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most alchemist. With your status, naturally, there''s only the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs that''s fitting."


    But Ao Qian''s expression changed, and he looked at Hou Yu viciously as he said, "What do you mean, brat?"


    But Hou Yu said calmly, "This senior, I don''t understand your words. The Golden Cloud Sky Stairs is the Holy City''s highest treatment of receiving distinguished guests. One step, three thousand stairs, what do you think I mean?"


    "You!" Ao Qian was tongue-tied for a moment and could not help looking at Ye Yuan as he said, "Milord, we''d best go up from the ordinary Cloud Sky Stairs!"


    Ao Qian, this kind of old monster, naturally came to the Holy City before.


    Flying was prohibited within 10 thousand miles of the Holy City. If someone attempted to fly into the Holy City, they would be decimated by the divine rank grand array.


    The only way to enter the Holy City was this Cloud Sky Stairs.


    Under the Holy City, there were masses of clouds. The shade of colors varied.


    As long as one stepped onto the clouds, a cloud and mist staircase would naturally form step by step. It was called Cloud Sky Stairs!


    The color of the Cloud Sky Stairs went from light to dark. It was divided into a total of nine ranks, corresponding to martial artists'' nine ranks, respectively.


    Rank-one Cloud Sky Stairs, one step one stair. Reaching the Holy City from the bottom required a full one year''s time.


    While the rank-nine Cloud Sky Stairs, one step, three hundred stairs. Ascending to the Holy City required a day''s time.


    While above rank-nine, there was an even higher level staircase still, named Golden Cloud Sky Stairs.


    The Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, one step, three thousand stairs. One only needed several hours to be able to reach the Holy City.


    This Golden Cloud Sky Stairs assumed a golden-color, looking extremely deluxe. It was indeed what the Holy City used to welcome distinguished guests.


    But, this Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, even ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses might not be able to ascend it safely either.


    When Ao Qian saw Hou Yu''s very cautious manner, he even thought that Hou Yu was really apprehensive of Ye Yuan''s identity. He did not expect that Hou Yu was scheming something!


    He was also perplexed earlier. His Excellency normally treated people very modestly. Why did he have a high and mighty attitude toward this brat in front of him?


    One had to know that him calling Cloudsky old punk, was placing him and Cloudsky on the capacity of the same generation.


    These few were merely the Purple-Gold Hall''s disciples. They immediately became a generation lower compared to Ye Yuan.


    Only then did Ao Qian come to a realization why Ye Yuan had a very cocky appearance just now. Turns out that he had long seen through this Hou Yu''s little thoughts and deliberately postured for him to see!


    Hearing Ao Qian''s words, Hou Yu feigned surprise and said, "How can this do? Lord Qingyun Zi is the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most alchemist, a person of the same generation as Lord Fengtian. How can he go up from the ordinary Cloud Sky Stairs? This way is also too deigning, right?"


    Ao Qian''s face turned black, and he berated, "Brat, shut your mouth for this old man! Do you believe this old man will tear your mouth or not?"


    But Hou Yu did not care about him at all and pretended to have a sudden realization again as he said, "Ah! I know, could it be that Lord Qingyun Zi reincarnating, he can''t even mount this Golden Cloud Sky Stairs now? Lord Qingyun Zi, this �� Hou Yu had good intentions. I didn''t think that Your Excellency actually can''t go up! Sorry, truly sorry!"


    "Hahaha!"


    His words being uttered, the group of disciples behind him all roared with laughter.


    Hou Yu apologized verbally but was delighted in his heart.


    Ask you to posture! Ask you to offend Eldest Senior Brother!


    Isn''t it just a lousy alchemist? Only climbed on top of Eldest Senior Brother''s head by taking advantage of trickery. Really think that you''re some important character?


    Reaching the Holy City, even a dragon had to coil for Your Father!


    Ao Qian was just about to fly off the handle when Ye Yuan used a hand gesture to stop him from speaking. He looked at Hou Yu and said smilingly, "Guo Xu made you do it, right? Already been so many years, that fellow is still so small-minded. How will he take on big responsibilities in the future?"


    The Guo Xu out of Ye Yuan''s mouth was precisely Hou Yu''s Eldest Senior Brother, the Purple-Gold Hall''s head disciple.


    This Guo Xu was the same as Ye Yuan and Jian Wushuang, genius martial artists that grew up in the same generation.


    But Guo Xu''s growing speed was similarly far from comparable to Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan became a peak Alchemy Emperor, Guo Xu was still just a peak Divine King and had not stepped into the realm of Void Mystic.


    Originally, the two were of the same generation. But with Ye Yuan''s breakthrough, Guo Xu became a junior all of a sudden. How could this not make him depressed?


    Back then, Guo Xu was known as the Divine Realm''s number one genius, with hopes of inheriting the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s mantle.


    But he was crushed by Ye Yuan until he was black and blue all over.


    Even though the two people never had a frontal-clash before, every time Guo Xu saw Ye Yuan, that thick enmity could not be concealed no matter what.


    Living in the same era as Ye Yuan, regardless of what kind of a genius, it was all a tragedy.


    Jian Wushuang was like that, Guo Xu was similarly like so.


    Huo Yu was choked badly by Ye Yuan''s words. But he forcefully pressed it down in the end and switched to a smiling face as he said, "What''s Lord Qingyun Zi saying? Hou Yu doesn''t understand! Hou Yu has good intentions. What has it got to do with Eldest Senior Brother? Sigh, it was Hou Yu who was rash. If Your Excellency can''t ascend the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, then change to an ordinary one then."


    Hou Yu was certain that Ye Yuan could not ascend the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs. Hence, that was why he kept on using words to squeeze Ye Yuan ceaselessly.


    This trip here for him was indeed sent by Cloudsky. But before coming, Guo Xu greeted him and told him to make things tough for Ye Yuan.


    His current thoughts were very simple, that was to give Ye Yuan some trouble. Either way, he could not ascend the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs.


    Even Eldest Senior Brother, this Void Mystic powerhouse, could not ascend the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, let alone Ye Yuan, this Third Level Dao Profound.


    He deliberately raised Ye Yuan''s status high in order to extol him to death.


    It was just that he did not think that Ye Yuan''s present bit of strength, he actually dared to climb up along the shaft too. But he had also repulsed enough for him to choke on.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since Guo Xu is so cordial, wouldn''t it brush off his good intentions if I don''t mount this Golden Cloud Sky Stairs?"

 1083 Childs Play

    Ye Yuan lightly leaped and stepped right onto the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs.


    Seeing this scene, Hou Yu''s face revealed a look of derision.


    The Cloud Sky Stairs was this divine rank grand array''s subsidiary, containing extremely profound powers of law. If one''s cultivation realm fell short, there was no way to stand firmly on top at all.


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was simply inadequate to stand on it.


    Cultivation realm not match, the grand array would immediately eject Ye Yuan out, even get injured by powers of law.


    This move of Hou Yu''s was in order to make a fool of Ye Yuan. If he could let him suffer a big loss, that would be for the best.


    Sure enough, the moment Ye Yuan stood on it, the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs spilled over with light and was about to throw Ye Yuan off.


    Beneath Ye Yuan''s foot quaked unceasingly, making his entire body start swaying, looking as if he was going to be thrown off.


    "Hahaha! This is our Lord Qingyun Zi! You''re a major power of the Divine Realm! To actually not even be able to stand on the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs!" Hou Yu laughed loudly and said.


    "Haha, what''s wrong, Lord Qingyun Zi? The Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, one step three thousand stairs, you haven''t taken this step yet!"


    "Hold steady, quickly hold it there steady! Being flung off the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs isn''t that pleasant."


    "Is this really that Lord Qingyun Zi hailed as closest to the Alchemy God Realm? Wouldn''t be a fake one, right? Hahaha!"


    For a moment, mocking laughter sounded out everywhere. The group of Purple-Gold Hall disciples laughed themselves into convulsions, all mocking Ye Yuan non-stop.


    Ao Qian and the rest all had black faces. This bunch of fellows was clearly long prepared to watch a spectacle!


    If not out of fear of delaying the important matters, they wished that they could teach these guys a good lesson.


    But on the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, Ye Yuan was not panicky. A faint surge of power of laws slowly spilled over from his body, converging into the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs.


    Very soon, his body no longer swayed. The Golden Cloud Sky Stairs also stabilized.


    This surge of power of laws was precisely those divine inscriptions'' Divine Dao laws!


    The eyeballs of those Purple-Gold Hall disciples all popped out. The original mocking laughter abruptly ceased.


    What kind of situation was this?


    Why was a Third Level Dai Profound martial artist able to stabilize himself on the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs?


    This �� This was something that had never happened before!


    This face-slapping was simply resounding.


    A lot of their faces were still carrying that strange smile earlier, currently frozen on their faces. But now, they could not smile no matter what.


    Ye Yuan turned around and gave Hou Yu a pitiful glance as he said with a smile, "I was only teasing you just now. You expended such a great effort; if I didn''t let you be happy for a bit, it would seriously let you down."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took a step out and immediately appeared above three thousand steps!


    Jiang Taicang also froze there. Seeing Ye Yuan disappear before his eyes, he let out a guffaw and said, "You see it? You bunch of dumbasses take a good look! This is disparity! You guys think that Qingyun Zi, these three words, is casually shouted?"


    Ao Qian was also akin to being relieved of a heavy burden and said with a cold snort, "A bunch of things who overestimate their own abilities! Really unbelievably foolish!"


    ...


    "Eldest Senior Brother, Qingyun Zi reincarnating, he''s merely an initial-stage Dao Profound minor character now. Lord Cloudsky actually made you come and receive personally. We really feel not worth it for you!"


    "Yeah, Eldest Senior Brother. Why don''t you go back? This sort of minor character, we''ll do the waiting. You''re a Void Mystic powerhouse now. How can you humble yourself and bend your knee to welcome a puny little initial-stage Dao Profound martial artist?"


    "For him to want to come up from the rank-nine Cloud Sky Stairs, it still needs a day''s time! But I''m looking very forward to his badly battered appearance when he comes up, hahaha!"


    Outside the Holy City''s gates, several young men were gathered together. The one at the front was actually a Void Mystic powerhouse. Who could it be if not Guo Xu?


    Toward the group of junior apprentice brothers'' flattery, Guo Xu quite enjoyed it.


    Except, he had a reason that he must be here as well. He very much wished to personally take a look at what kind of state the Qingyun Zi, who commanded the wind and clouds back then ended up in.


    Especially the appearance of tumbling until his nose was bloody and his face swollen.


    Guo Xu felt very thrilled in his heart even thinking about it.


    Of course, he would not utter this sort of words in front of a group of junior apprentice brothers.


    "Talking rubbish! How can Lord Cloudsky''s orders be brushed over? Although I broke through to the realm of Void Mystic, I''m just the Purple-Gold Hall''s head disciple in the end," Guo Xu reproached.


    Although it was a reprimand, not a hint of reprove could be heard in his words.


    Right at this time, a silhouette burst right through the clouds and appeared in everyone''s line of sight.


    "It''s the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs!" somebody exclaimed in shock.


    There was no need for him to say this, because Guo Xu already discerned that it was the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs.


    Moreover, that unfamiliar young man on the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs was precisely Third Level Dao Profound. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Gui Xu looked at Ye Yuan absentmindedly with a look of disbelief.


    How could Third Level Dao Profound possibly come up from the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs?


    Ye Yuan leaped, jumping down from the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs, and arrived before Guo Xu, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Guo Xu."


    Guo Xu said in a daze, "You �� You''re really Qingyun Zi? But how did you come up from the Golden Cloud Sky Stairs?"


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and patted on his shoulders twice, and slowly walked into the city as he said without even turning his head back, "So many years of not seeing, you''re still such a good-for-nothing! You''re at any rate a Void Mystic powerhouse now too, still playing this sort of child''s play tricks. Don''t you find it disgraceful?"


    The moment Guo Xu heard, his lungs wanted to explode from fury.


    This guy still postured just like in the past, to actually use the tone of a senior to reprimand me!


    You''re merely a Third Level Dao Profound right now. To actually dare talk this way to a Void Mystic powerhouse. You really don''t know how the word death was written!


    "Ji Qingyun, stop right there for me!" Guo Xu looked at Ye Yuan''s back view and shouted coldly.


    Ye Yuan seemingly did not hear it and paid no heed to all as he walked into the city.


    Guo Xu''s expression sunk, and he said, "If you''re looking for a bashing yourself, then you can''t blame me!"


    Finished saying, he immediately reached his hand out to grab at Ye Yuan.


    This grab, Guo Xu intentionally wanted to embarrass Ye Yuan, mustering up essence energy fully.


    As long as he grabbed hold of Ye Yuan''s shoulder, it could absolutely make him hurt until he knelt down.


    The power of a Void Mystic powerhouse''s grab could be imagined!


    The group of junior apprentice disciples only saw a blur before their eyes, and Guo Xu vanished before them.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan seemed to be oblivious and still walked forward neither too fast nor too slowly.


    With a whistle, a strong wind already arrived!


    Guo Xu''s grab directly aimed at Ye Yuan''s shoulder.


    However, just as his hand was about to touch Ye Yuan, he only felt a blur before his eyes. His body actually passed right through Ye Yuan''s body.


    Guo Xu abruptly turned his head back and discovered that Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well. It was as if he never moved before at all.


    He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said with a shocked look, "Heaven Man Unity! You �� You actually already comprehended Heaven Man Unity! Just 20 year''s time, how is this possible?


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don''t play such childish stuff anymore. Bring me to go see Cloudsky. Coming this time, I have important matters to discuss with him!"

 1084 Sit Idly and Reap the Fruits of Otherss Labor

    "Lord Cloudsky is currently in closed-seclusion, and it''s inconvenient to meet him. I''ll bring you to the courier stations first. Other matters, talk again later," Guo Xu came back to his senses and said impatiently.


    Hearing Guo Xu''s words, Ye Yuan had a bad premonition.


    This trip probably would not be that smooth.


    "Where''s Nangong Zifeng and Zhuge Qingxuan?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    The Holy City''s three titans: Zhuge Qingxuan, Nangong Zifeng, and Cloudsky.


    These three people were the Holy City''s most powerful existences. Since Cloudsky was in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan could only look for Nangong Zifeng.


    "Lord Nangong and Lord Zhuge are both not in the city. If you have urgent matters, there''s only waiting for Lord Cloudsky to exit seclusion," Guo Xu said.


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted tightly together. Cloudsky was clearly intentionally avoiding and not meeting here. Could it be that he had already guessed his intention of coming and did not plan on intervening in the Medicine King Hall''s matters?


    If it was like this, the matter would be rather troublesome.


    Without the Holy Region''s support, it was very hard for the Eight Great Super Holy Lands to join together. Wanting to deal with the Medicine King Hall would be doubly difficult.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan kept feeling that the Medicine King Hall was likely not as easy to deal with as on the surface.


    There were no walls without any cracks under the heavens. The Immemorial Medicine Garden had such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Eight Great Super Holy Lands to not have any intel at all.


    The Medicine King Hall concealed so deeply. Taking the risk of being exposed this time and drawing so many experts, it was impossible for them to never have thought that they would become a common target for scorn.


    If say Ji Canglan had no preparations at all, Ye Yuan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.


    Cloudsky said that he was in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan had no other methods too. He could only follow Guo Xu to the courier station together.


    Guo Xu escorted Ye Yuan inside the courier station and left on his own without caring about the latter.


    ...


    Inside an independent space in the Holy City, two elderly men were currently conversing.


    "Ji Qingyun coming to the Holy City this time is definitely for the matter of the Medicine King Hall. With his character, not seeing our faces, he probably won''t easily leave."


    "To think that after a time interval of 50 thousand years, the fiend race staged a comeback once again. Looks like this time, it can''t dispense with a bout of sanguinary slaughter again!"


    "Heh, since Ye Yuan is this era''s son of heaven''s mandate, then we naturally don''t need to poke our noses into what isn''t our business. How many times have the fiend race jumped around? They never truly succeeded before even once. With the son of heaven''s mandate around, just let them fight first. After fighting finish, we''ll come out again to clean up the messy situation."


    "I didn''t think that Ji Qingyun is actually this era''s son of heaven''s mandate! Since he came to the Holy City, it means that he won''t sit idly by and remain indifferent to the fiend race''s matters."


    "Ji Canglan failed to kill Ji Qingyun, but helped him instead, indicating that his destiny is extremely strong. As long as one lets him mature, he''ll naturally be able to exterminate the fiend race."


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that these two were precisely the Nangong Zifeng and Cloudsky, who avoided meeting him.


    Except, Ye Yuan probably also did not think that the Divine Realm''s secrets that the Holy City was aware of were far more than he imagined.


    Hearing the meaning in their words, they actually wanted to watch indifferently regarding the fiend race''s matters without lending a hand, harboring the idea of sitting it out and reaping the spoils later.


    The matter of Ye Yuan being the son of heaven''s mandate, they were also perfectly aware.


    Looking at it like this, the matter of the fiend race gradually surfacing, they were actually long aware.


    Except, they did not have the intention of stopping. Instead, they had the intention of letting it develop unchecked.


    "Qingxuan that fellow has already entered the Godsfall Mountain Range for 20 years time. I wonder if he really has any harvests or not. Without him holding down the fort, once the crisis of the fiend race erupts, the two of us probably can''t suppress it!" Cloudsky said.


    "There''s no big deal. Once the holy city''s array formation activates, even Deity Realm powerhouses are unable to break through. Even if the fiend race was any stronger, it''s also impossible to breach the Holy City. Furthermore, divine artifacts coming into existence consecutively, heaven and earth will presumably have a great change. Perhaps �� Deity Realm powerhouses will really descend upon the mortal world anew. If that''s really the case, Qingxuan will definitely be the first powerhouse to step into Deity Realm!" Nangong Zifeng said.


    "Makes sense! Our Holy Region''s foundations are deep and profound. Furthermore, we''ve avoided several great battles of two races. Our accumulations are very deep. If say talking about who has the greatest hope of breaking through to Deity Realm in this world, it''s definitely Qingxuan," Cloudsky said.


    "Ji Qingyun that brat, leave him out in the sun to dry first. When he feels snubbed, he''ll naturally leave," Nangong Zifeng said.


    Cloudsky nodded and said, "There''s only like this."


    ...


    After encamping at the courier station, out of Ye Yuan''s expectations, Long Teng manifested himself.


    "Senior Long Teng, you are ��" Ye Yuan asked rather surprisedly.


    Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan and said, "Are the Holy Region''s personnel in-charge avoiding you and not meeting?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said unhappily, "No idea what''s with Cloudsky that old man. The Holy Region is the human race''s leader. At present, the fiend race''s feathers are gradually fluffing up, but he''s avoiding meeting me. Truly detestable!"


    When Long Teng heard that, he could not help giving a cold laugh: "Over 50 thousand years have passed. Looks like this Holy Region is still so shameful!"


    Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that. Hearing the meaning in Long Teng''s words, there seemed to be veiled criticism towards the Holy Region.


    Thinking about it, Ye Yuan could not help feeling rather odd.


    The pandemonium of the Heavenly Fiendgod 50 thousand years ago, it was actually the dragon clan who had a great battle with him in the end. Then, where did the Holy Region, such a super faction, go to?


    Although the dragon clan was at the height of its power and splendor 50 thousand years ago, possessing a large batch of Void Mystic powerhouses, looking at the Holy Region''s strength, it shouldn''t be inferior to the dragon clan. Why didn''t news of them resisting the fiend race pass down?


    With this thought, Ye Yuan felt that something was not right.


    Long Teng clearly saw through Ye Yuan''s puzzlement and said with a cold smile, "Do you know why the Holy Region was able to become the human race''s number one power?"


    "Why?" Ye Yuan asked puzzledly.


    All along, the impression that the Holy Region gave people was powerful! Very powerful!


    Regardless of how the other super holy lands changed, the Holy Region stood firm from beginning to end. There had never been a faction that was able to shake the Holy Region''s position of a goliath.


    In the people''s view, the Holy Region possessed the rank one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, and also had an incomparably terrifying divine rank grand array. They could naturally claim to be the human race''s number one faction.


    But, a faction like this, could it be that they did not have any losses during the turmoil of the fiend race?


    Long Teng said with a contemptuous look, "Over 50 thousand years ago, the Bloodgod Temple swept throughout the entire Divine Realm. The dragon clan had once issued an invitation to the Holy Region before, inviting them to encircle and quash the Bloodgod Temple together along with them. But they actually did not respond to the dragon clan''s invitation in the slightest. From start to finish, they never sent a single soldier. Furthermore, they activated the grand array, sealing off the Holy City, cutting off all connections with the outside world. That battle, they did not have any losses at all. Naturally, they could become the Divine Realm''s number one faction."


    Ye Yuan could not help being stupefied when he heard. He did not think that the Holy Region actually still had such a past.


    It seemed like they did not wish to tread into the muddy waters at all by relying on that they had a divine rank grand array protecting. Whether the Divine Realm fell into the enemy''s hands or not, seemed to not have any relation with them at all.


    "But, if the fiend race truly occupied the entire Divine Realm, even if they sealed off the grand array, they can''t last for a long time either, right?" Ye Yuan thought about it and said.


    Long Teng had a cold smile as he said, "But in reality, the Divine Realm didn''t fall into the enemy''s hands, isn''t it so? Fang Tian''s sudden emergence salvaged the entire Divine Realm. While they are just a group of trash that sat idly by and reaped the fruits of others'' labor!"

 1085 Blocking the Front Door and Face Slapping

    "Senior''s meaning is that the Holy Region is probably long aware of the existence of the son of heaven''s mandate already. Hence, that''s why they would intentionally preserve their strength?" Ye Yuan understood with a snap and guessed.


    If the fiend race really unified the Divine Realm, even if the Holy Region was a tortoise shell, with the fiend race gathering the entire Divine Realm''s strength to assault it, its shell would also be broken.


    This point, it was impossible that the Holy Region''s powerhouses did not figure out.


    The only possibility was that they knew that there was someone capable of saving the Divine Realm. That was why they harbored the thinking of not taking sides in order to save their own skin, and deliberately not exert strength.


    Long Teng smiled coldly and said, "The human race and fiend race''s war has lasted for at least a million years. What''s strange about a major power with a long-standing inheritance like the Holy Region knowing about this? It''s just that their actions are truly beneath contempt! Didn''t think that 50 thousand years have passed, but they are still like this!"


    Hearing Long Teng say so, Ye Yuan was also contemptuous toward the Holy Region to the extreme in his heart.


    This kind of major matter that concerned the entire Divine Realm''s survival, the Holy Region, as the Divine Realm''s number one major force, actually wanted to look on with folded arms. Truly disgraceful to the extreme!


    Other people fought dauntlessly in bloody battles, but they sit idly and reap the fruits of others'' labor, stepping on other people''s skeletons to move up.


    Furthermore, this actually even became a tradition. 50 thousand years ago was like this, 50 thousand years later today, was similarly like so!


    Ye Yuan said, "Cloudsky old punk definitely didn''t enter closed-seclusion. He wants to use the ''delay'' tactic to let me beat a retreat in the face of difficulties. Heh heh, how can I, Ye Yuan, be so easy to send away?"


    Long Teng shook his head and said, "It''s no use. He has already made up his mind to not see you. Even if you knock on his door to beg him, he won''t meet you either!"


    Ye Yuan did not speak and started pacing slowly inside the room.


    When Long Teng saw the situation, he shut up and did not speak as well. He knew that Ye Yuan was definitely thinking of a way.


    After some time, a hint of a smile surfaced on Ye Yuan''s face. When Long Teng saw the situation, he knew that there was a chance.


    ...


    Heavenly Saint Plaza was the Holy Region''s largest public square. The human traffic here was immensely heavy. It could be said to be one of the Holy City''s most prosperous areas.


    The second day morning, an additional stall appeared in the Heavenly Saint Plaza.


    On the left and right side of the stall, each had an enormous vertical scroll.


    On the left-hand side of the scroll was written ''All requests will be granted.'' While on the right-hand side of the scroll, it was ''Not taking a single penny''!


    The moment this line-up was put out, it immediately drew a large group of martial artists to crowd around.


    "Yii, what''s this? Is it fortune-telling? Martial artists all defy the heavens and change fate. How many believe in fate?"


    "Are you dumb? You look at this line-up, does it look like fortune-telling? Quite a few medicinal cauldrons are placed over there. It''s clearly refining pills on people''s behalf."


    "This means that �� helping people refine pills for free? There''s still such a good thing? But, even if it''s free pill refinement, this brat is also too cocky, right? Still �� ''All requests will be granted,'' who does he think he is?"


    "Heh heh, you''re out of touch with the outside world and its affairs, right? This young man isn''t an ordinary person. He''s the peak Alchemy Emperor, Qingyun Zi! Back then, Qingyun Zi didn''t die. A trace of remnant soul fled to the Lower Realms, and he seized possession and revived!"


    "Qingyun Zi! My God, Qingyun Zi actually set up a stall to help people refine pills here. What does he want to do? Right beside is the Alchemist Association''s headquarters. This �� This is also too provocative, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s identity was already not some secret now. The Holy City had no lack of some well-informed people who knew that Ye Yuan was Qingyun Zi.


    With this wave of discussion, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.


    What kind of status did the peak Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi have? If it was in the past, forget about begging him to refine pills, even meeting hip was extremely hard to come by.


    Today, he was actually helping people refine pills for free. Furthermore, on the scroll, it stated that all requests would be granted.


    More importantly, he actually set up a stall at the front gates of the Alchemist Association''s headquarters. This was simply monumental.


    There had never been anyone who dared to provoke the Alchemist Association like this before.


    Even at the Medicine King Hall''s most powerful and prosperous, they never did such a face-slapping action before either.


    The Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association''s contending, that was all playing tricks in the dark. This sort of posturing and face-slapping action, it never happened before.


    Of course, even though the Medicine King Hall was impressive, the Alchemist Association was not to be trifled with either.


    Ji Zhengyang''s alchemy path strength was merely around on par with Jing Fengtian.


    Where did Qingyun Zi''s courage come from, to dare slap people''s faces at their front door?


    At this time, the people surrounding the watching were many. But people who genuinely dared to come forward and request for pills, there was not a single one.


    This place was the Alchemist Association''s front gate. Requesting Qingyun Zi for pills, wasn''t this slapping the Alchemist Association''s face? Not everyone had this nerve to dare oppose the Alchemist Association.


    Right then, a person suddenly scurried out from within the crowd. It was a middle-aged martial artist.


    It was only to see him come before Ye Yuan and immediately kneel down with a thud.


    "Lord Qingyun Zi, I beg you, save this lowly one''s wife!" The middle-aged martial artist made a pitiful plea.


    This middle-aged martial artist was merely a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist. In this Holy City, he was merely a minor character that was not important.


    Ye Yuan, who was originally sitting rigidly upright, hurriedly went up to support the middle-aged martial artist when he saw him getting so worked up and said, "This elder brother, you don''t have to be like this. Since I said that all requests will be granted, no matter who comes, I won''t reject it. Speak about it, what''s the matter with your wife?"


    The moment the middle-aged martial artist heard, he could not help being overjoyed, and hastily recounted his wife''s situation briefly.


    This middle-aged martial artist was called Lu Wu. Half a year ago, he and his wife went to a mystic realm in the Holy Region to search for treasures. He did not expect that his wife would be bitten by a little snake.


    A small snake that did not take human form. They did not pay attention at that time as well and continued going deep in after expelling the poison. But very soon, Lu Wu discovered something amiss.


    Many red spots quickly erupted on his wife''s body, then her skin started to fester.


    Until now, Lu Wu''s wife''s body was practically completely rotten already, looking as if her life was almost going to be lost.


    He sought medical help from the Alchemist Association''s alchemists, but the Alchemist Association''s Alchemy Saint could not diagnose it at all.


    As for Alchemy Venerable powerhouses, Lu Wu could not afford that money at all. And the Alchemy Venerable that he found said that without heavenly essence crystals, there was no talk.


    Lu Wu loved his wife deeply. Hence, he pestered that Alchemy Venerable every day, hoping to be able to use his sincerity to move the other party.


    Except, he did not appreciate it at all.


    He did not think that coming over today, he just happened to see Ye Yuan set up a stall here. He did not recognize Ye Yuan either, but when he heard that this one in front of him was the widely renowned Lord Qingyun Zi, he did not hesitate in the slightest to be the first one to step forward.


    Hearing Lu Wu''s circumstances, Ye Yuan immediately had a sudden realization and said, "That''s a Seven Extreme Dual-Flower Snake. Its venom has two kinds of toxins. One type is active, very easy to expel. But the other type is dormant, exceedingly difficult to detect. Want to expel this poison, one requires a Tier 8 medicinal pill, the Taiyi Clear Wind Pill."


    The moment Lu Wu heard, his face revealed a look of wild elation.


    A peak Alchemy Emperor was a peak Alchemy Emperor. Just listening to his description, he determined what kind of poison his wife was inflicted with.


    That Alchemy Saint was simply weak to the max!


    But the elated feelings on his face died down very quickly. He said with a dejected look, "Lord Qingyun Zi, I �� I can''t afford Tier 8 spirit medicines!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "No worries, I still have some Tier 8 spirit medicines on me. Just happened to have the spirit medicines to refine the Taiyi Clear Wind Pill. I''ll refine it for you right away!"

 1086 Quan Xingzis Headache

    One rock kicking up a tidal wave!


    After consuming the medicinal pill, in less than an hour, Lu Wu''s wife recovered!


    He brought his wife to the Heavenly Saint Plaza and was endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan only urged these this husband and wife couple away after a bout of persuasion.


    With this, many people were no longer calm.


    The Alchemist Association''s alchemists all had their noses pointing up at the sky. How could they be as amiable and approachable as Lord Qingyun Zi?


    More importantly, Lord Qingyun Zi did not take a single cent for the pill refinement, and even chipped in spirit medicines!


    This sort of opportunity, go where to find?


    "I was recently just about to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill, Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill. The spirit medicines are finally collected. But the price demanded by the Alchemist Association''s alchemy emperor, I can''t afford it at all!"


    "Me too! My Immortal Polyporus Soul Recall Pill has also just gathered together the spirit medicines, emptying out my bank, and even almost losing my small life! How is there still anything that those great deities in the Alchemist Association will take fancy on?"


    "Lord Qingyun Zi is a peak Alchemy Emperor! This kind of powerhouse personally refining pills for us, this sort of treatment can''t be encountered even once in 10 thousand years! Going past this village, there wouldn''t be this shop anymore!"


    Ye Yuan said it, he would only refine Tier 9 and above medicinal pills. The rest would be handed to his pupils and grand-pupil to refine.


    Lu Wu''s medicinal pill was refined by Gu Yue.


    Gu Yue, Xiao Ruyan, and Ren Dong, the three people taking action, ordinary medicinal pills were naturally nothing difficult.


    With somebody striding out the first step, how could each and every one of those Dao Profound Realm powerhouses still be able to remain calm?


    It was not that these Dao Profound Realm powerhouses were miserly, but that Tier 9 spirit medicines seriously burned too much money.


    And inviting ordinary alchemy emperors to take action, the price normally far exceeded the price of a medicinal pill itself.


    There was no choice. Alchemists were really a scarce species. Each and every one was in high demand.


    Even if you did not look for them, there would already be a whole group of people queuing to find them to refine pills.


    How could there be like today, refining pills completely free?


    What was damnable was that Lord Qingyun Zi was far stronger compared to those guys with eyes at the top of their heads!


    Finally, someone could not hold back anymore.


    A Dao Profound Realm martial artist came before Ye Yuan, bowed down, and said, "This lowly one wants to refine a Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill. Can Your Excellency please take action and refine it?"


    Ye Yuan did not put on the slightest bit of airs and said with a nod, "Take out the spirit medicines then."


    In less than four hours, a Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill came into existence, a transcendent-grade pill!


    That Dao Profound Realm martial artist held the transcendent-grade Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill, feeling like he was dreaming.


    If he went to find the Alchemist Association''s alchemy emperors to refine the Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill himself, it would at most be middle-grade, even low-grade.


    Because he could not afford the price to let high-level alchemists take action.


    When ordinary initial-stage alchemy emperors refined tier 9 medicinal pills, being able to refine out middle-grade was already considered pretty good.


    But now, he obtained a transcendent-grade Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill!


    "Thank you very much, Lord Qingyun Zi! Thank you very much, Lord Qingyun Zi!"


    He held the medicinal pill in both hands and immediately knelt down.


    To be able to make a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse agitated, how important this medicinal pill was to him could be imagined.


    "Peak Alchemy Emperor is peak alchemy Emperor! This alchemy skill is simply a god-like technique!"


    "Yeah. I saw before the Alchemist Association''s high-rank Alchemy Emperor refine pills before. At that time, it was greatly astonishing. But compared to Lord Qingyun Zi, he''s too trashy!"


    "Furthermore, this is a Tier 9 medicinal pill. Refining it in four hours and it''s even transcendent-grade, what kind of concept was this?"


    If Lu Wu''s incident was just a preface, then this Three-Lives Profound Gate Pill just now ignited a bomb, and immediately blew up in the Heavenly Saint Plaza.


    No one could resist the allure of a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill!


    Those Dao Profound powerhouses swarmed forward like bees, scrambling after one another to let Ye Yuan help them refine medicinal pills.


    At this time, they already could not be bothered with whatever Alchemist Association anymore!


    Could the Alchemist Association let a peak Alchemy Emperor help them refine pills?


    Would the Alchemist Association help them refine pills for free?


    They would not!


    This sort of situation was precisely what Ye Yuan had foreseen long ago. What he wanted was this effect.


    He did not believe that those Alchemist Association fellows could still sit still!


    As the Holy City''s subsidiary, the Alchemist Association helped the Holy City to amass innumerable riches, letting the Holy City''s alchemists have endless resources to groom their descendants'' strength.


    Smacking the Alchemist Association''s face, they would definitely go find Cloudsky.


    This was Ye Yuan''s plan. You don''t come out, I''ll force you out!


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Divine Dao laws became increasingly deeper currently. Right now, refining these Tier 9 medicinal pills was already at his fingertips and did not take too much time at all.


    If he was willing, he could even refine a large pile of arcane insight rank medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan called out in a clear voice, "No need to worry, one by one. Those that need to refine Tier 9 medicinal pills, queue up on my side. Those who need to refine Tier 8 and below medicinal pills, go to the three of them there to queue. The few of them are my pupils and grand-pupil. Their alchemy path strengths are still passable, so everyone rest assured. However, if there are people who want to stir up trouble, don''t blame me for not being courteous!"


    Ao Qian and the few Void Mystic powerhouses released their auras. Those martial artists who were just about to cut queue and start a fight immediately shriveled up.


    With Ao Qian, Kuang Tianming, and Jiang Taicang present, the order at the scene was maintained very quickly.


    Hence, Ye Yuan and the others started refining pills one by one according to the order.


    ...


    Smash!


    Inside the Alchemist Association, Quanxing Zi smashed the cup in his hand into pieces.


    "Bullying others too much! Bullying others too much! Qingyun Zi, this punk, is getting more and more lawless! To actually dare block the Alchemist Association''s front door and use this sort of underhanded trick to deal with the Alchemist Association! He''s challenging the entire alchemy world here!" Quanxing Zi howled.


    Only later on did Quanxing Zi know that that young man he wanted to recruit was actually Ji Qingyun!


    Even he, this person who was almost entering the coffin, felt his face burn red-hot at that time too.


    Before reincarnating, Ji Qingyun''s strength already surpassed him, this veteran peak Alchemy Emperor.


    Furthermore, the Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association had always been at loggerheads. He was actually silly enough to go and recruit Ye Yuan.


    No wonder Ye Yuan had an incomparably arrogant attitude back then, making practically unable to step down the stage. Thinking about it now, he was completely making things hard on him on purpose back then.


    And now, this guy actually ran to his doorstep to slap faces!


    One had to know, inviting alchemists to take action to refine pills, the price was very costly. This was the alchemy world''s rule.


    Because the resources required for grooming an alchemist was far greater compared to a martial artist.


    Ye Yuan helping martial artists refine medicinal pills for free, this was breaking the rules. How could Quanxing Zi not be furious?


    "But �� Ji Qingyun is all alone in the world right now without any attachments. We can''t do anything to him at all! Unless ��"


    The one speaking was one of the Alchemist Association''s three great peak alchemy emperors, Gudao Zi.


    At this time, he made a neck-swiping hand gesture. The meaning was actually to kill Ye Yuan.


    But Quanxing Zi shook his head at that and said, "Do you think that Ji Qingyun that boy is so easy to deal with? You look at who those people around him are. Just the Void Mystic Realm martial artists number quite a few! Jing Fengtian isn''t around either. Sigh �� what a headache!"Used to be Quan Xingzi, I decided to change to Quanxing Zi henceforth, in accordance with the Zi being a show of respect to peak alchemy emperors.

 1087 Still Need You to Teach Me?

    "He merely brought along three Void Mystic powerhouses. Inside the Holy City, there are no less than five Void Mystic powerhouses! Wanting to deal with him shouldn''t be difficult, right?" Gudao Zi said with a frown.


    The Holy City was the place where powerhouses gathered. Although Void Mystic powerhouses were seldom seen, they were no big deal to the Holy City.


    Even if the strongest Heaven Stabilizing Divine King and Jing Fengtian were not around, no one dared to act wildly in the Holy City too.


    Quanxing Zi gave Gudao Zi a glance and said with a bitter smile, "You just exited seclusion and might not know yet. The current Ye Yuan is already no longer that Ji Qingyun, who studies alchemy Dao wholeheartedly! The Holy City''s strength, even a fool knows. For him to dare to do this, could it be that he would have something to rely on? This brat has a divine artifact in his hands. If he were so easy to deal with, you think Cloudsky, that fellow, wouldn''t covet it?"


    When Gudao Zi heard the two words ''divine artifact'', his entire body involuntarily quivered, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    He had just left seclusion and really did not know about the outside world''s affairs.


    Did not think that the Ji Qingyun, who disappeared for 20 years, actually had such a precious treasure on him presently.


    "Then �� you and I go out to work things out with him? If he loses, he can''t go so far as to be utterly devoid of shame, and still refine pills for free here, right?" Gudao Zi thought about it and said.


    He left seclusion recently and had new comprehension of Alchemy Dao again. Just nice, borrow this opportunity to display his strength in front of the world!


    Quanxing Zi shot him a glance and said with a sigh, "You might not believe it if I say it. You go and take a look at him refining pills yourself then. These 20 years, not only did his alchemy path strength not decline, it improved further instead! If he has Divine King cultivation realm currently, his alchemy path strength would probably already not lose out to the Ji Zhengyang before death!"


    "What did you say?!" Gudao Zi''s eyes went wide, filled with disbelief.


    He had just exited seclusion and was called over by Quanxing Zi, and had yet to have time to go see Ye Yuan refine pills.


    But Ye Yuan stirring up such a huge commotion, it was impossible for Quanxing Zi to not pay attention at all.


    He had long observed Ye Yuan refine pills in secret. It would have been fine if he didn''t, but this observation really gave him a fright!


    He had never thought that refining Tier 9 medicinal pills would be so effortless!


    Even for the Ji Qingyun back then, there was also absolutely impossible to reach this sort of degree.


    That could only mean that Ye Yuan''s current alchemy path strength was even stronger than his past life!


    Going to find him to compete in alchemy now, wasn''t it looking for a face-slapping himself?


    It was fine if they won, but if they really lost, the Alchemist Association would not be able to lift its head up.


    "It has just been 20 years time, he �� what right does he have?"


    Gudao Zi felt that this world was too unreasonable. In just 20 years, he only improved that tiny hint and was already patting himself on the back.


    But he, Ji Qingyun, actually already reached the true pinnacle of this Divine Realm!


    What was the true peak?


    That was the likes of Jing Fengtian and Ji Zhengyang!


    Gudao Zi was very confident in his alchemy skills. But compared to Jing Fengtian, he could only concede.


    Quanxing Zi let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "This is a true genius! Even if you and I exhausted all the strength of a lifetime, we''re also unable to catch up! Although I don''t wish to admit it, that title of being hailed as the closest to Alchemy God Realm, it wasn''t joking around. You think about it yourself, apart from him, who else is capable of achieving such heights at this age?"


    Gudao Zi was demotivated. Quanxing Zi''s words beat him down until he was black and blue all over.


    "This can''t do, that won''t work either, then what in the world should we do?" Gudao Zi said rather frustratedly.


    Quanxing Zi said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it, you brat producing such a great commotion, isn''t it in order to force me to go look for Cloudsky? I''ll go, alright?"


    ...


    Quanxing Zi did not hesitate and immediately came over to find Cloudsky.


    Cloudsky could choose not to give Ye Yuan face and avoid meeting him, but towards Quanxing Zi, he was unable to ignore.


    For the Holy Region to have such a flourishing situation today, the Alchemist Association contributed immensely.


    Furthermore, the Alchemist Association spanned the entire Divine Realm. From a certain degree, it controlled every corner of the Divine Realm.


    This was another type of reigning method, but it was very effective.


    Putting aside official business, Cloudsky himself also had to look for Quanxing Zi for help.


    The medicinal pills that his level required, only Quanxing Zi could refine them. If they really pressed the Alchemist Association into a corner, the Holy City would also not be able to bear the consequences.


    Upon meeting, Quanxing Zi had a stomach full of grievances.


    "Cloudsky, the matter outside is stirred up so significantly, don''t tell me that you don''t know anything at all! I say, what''s your idea here? Could it be that the association''s reputation getting damaged have benefits to the Holy City?" Quanxing Zi said with a black face.


    Cloudsky originally still had the idea of sitting it out and watching the tigers fight. But did not think that the Alchemist Association did not even let out a fart, and Quanxing Zi immediately rushed over already.


    "Haha, old chap, don''t be agitated! How can this Cloud have that intention? I even thought that you had immediately come out and bring down that punk''s prestige! Isn''t this a chance to walk with your head held high to you guys?" Cloudsky said with a laugh.


    It was fine if Cloudsky did not say it, the moment he said it, Quanxing Zi became even more incensed.


    "Walk with my head held high my ass! What will I compete with him in? Competing in mystic grade medicinal pills? There are so many people at the Heavenly Saint Plaza, you want this old man to thicken the skin on my face to bully an initial-rank Alchemy Emperor?" Quanxing Zi said crossly.


    Cloudsky said with an obsequious smile, "Then compete in Tier 9 medicinal pills! Old chap, could it be that your strength can''t beat a Third Level Dao Profound brat still? Even though he seized possession and revived, his reputation of a peak Alchemy Emperor is still there in any case. If you beat him, nobody would talk behind your back, right?"


    Quanxing Zi darted him a glance and smiled coldly without speaking.


    In front of Cloudsky, he could not very well say that he was not Ye Yuan''s match, right?


    But him not speaking, the meaning was already very apparent.


    The moment Cloudsky saw, he understood in his heart and could not help being very amazed as he said, "This brat is actually so formidable?"


    Quanxing Zi said with a cold smile, "What do you think? Could it be that this old man doesn''t know such a simple logic either? Still need you to teach me?"


    His meaning was that, if he could beat Ye Yuan, he would have long taken action. Why would he wait until now still?


    Cloudsky was endlessly astonished in his heart. He knew about Ye Yuan''s commotion outside but did not pay attention as well.


    Ye Yuan was merely Third Level Dao Profound currently. Even if he had his past life''s alchemy path strength, he could not unleash his full strength either.


    A veteran guru like Quanxing Zi, dealing with him should not be an issue.


    He did not expect that they had not competed yet, and Quanxing Zi already conceded straight away.


    Ye Yuan reincarnating was merely just roughly 20 years. During these 20 years, he definitely placed most of his energy on the martial path.


    Then the problem came, where did he have excess energy to continue studying alchemy Dao?


    Seeing Cloudsky stay silent, Quanxing Zi said with a cold snort, "Cloudsky, I don''t care what method you use, send Ji Qingyun away for me! Otherwise, you can forget about taking away a single medicinal pill from the Alchemist Association from now onwards! This old man will do what I say! Goodbye!"


    Quanxing Zi did not give Cloudsky a chance to speak either. Throwing down this sentence, he immediately left.


    Cloudsky frowned for an instant and instructed people, "Call Guo Xu to invite Ye Yuan over! Immediately! At once!"

 1088 Who Has Your Attitude When Inviting People?

    When Guo Xu came to the Heavenly Saint Plaza, it was as unpleasant as having eaten a fly in his heart.


    He really could not figure it out. Lord Cloudsky already said that he would not meet Ji Qingyun, so why would he made him come and find him again so anxiously?


    Furthermore, he even had to have a pleasant countenance and be sure to invite over!


    This �� Wasn''t this wanting a person''s life?


    Waves of shocked exclamations came from the Heavenly Saint Plaza from time to time. Those were all cries of shock due to Ye Yuan''s consummate alchemy skills.


    Ye Yuan already refined for a day and night in the plaza and refined over 20 medicinal pills.


    Even so, when those people saw Ye Yuan''s god-like alchemy skills, they still felt lost in wonder.


    The refinement of a peak Alchemy Emperor was not what anyone could see.


    Too newfangled!


    "All move aside for me!" Guo Xu shouted fiercely in a cold voice.


    Those Dao Profound powerhouses were all taken aback with fright by this roar. That Void Mystic Realm pressure immediately sent their displeasure packing.


    Looking again, it was actually Guo Xu, the Purple-Gold Hall''s head seat. They were all incredibly astonished.


    Especially those Dao Profound Realm martial artists that had not reached their turn yet. Each and everyone could not help crying bitterness without ceasing.


    Looking at Guo Xu''s appearance, it was clearly coming to find trouble. It seemed like the Holy City finally could not resist and was going to intervene.


    This way, wouldn''t their medicinal pills have no way of refining anymore?


    Guo Xu parted the crowd and came before Ye Yuan, but he was immediately stopped by Ao Qian.


    Guo Xu''s brows furrowed and he said icily, "What? This place is the Holy City. You dare to act wildly here?"


    Ao Qian said with a disdainful look, "A baby whose hair hasn''t grown fully, using the Holy City to scare your Grandpa Ao? Your father will act wildly today, so what about it? If you dare to interrupt His Excellency''s pill refinement, do you believe that your father will pummel you until even your mother can''t recognize you?"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone drew a cold breath of air. Someone who dared to be so rampant in the Holy City, this was still their first time seeing.


    Guo Xu was the Purple-Gold Hall''s head disciple. Furthermore, he was a Void Mystic powerhouse. It was basically able to represent the Holy City''s attitude already.


    Moreover, they all knew that this Purple-Gold Hall''s head disciple was not so easy-going.


    Just as everyone thought that Guo Xu was going to explode, something that made their eyes fall out happened.


    At first, Guo Xu really blew his top. But upon recalling Lord Cloudsky''s words, he forcefully suppressed his fury and said in a cold voice, "Then I''ll wait for him to finish refining!"


    Done talking, Guo Xu hugged his sword and retreated to one side and stared at Ye Yuan refining pills coldly.


    Eyeballs dropped onto the floor!


    When did the Guo Xu whose arrogance reached the clouds become so nice to talk to?


    Ao Qian looked at him and similarly said with a cold smile, "Good that you''re sensible!"


    By the side, Guo Xu''s expression gradually became solemn as he watched Ye Yuan refine pills.


    He had seen before Ye Yuan refine pills. But the current Ye Yuan seemed to be even more formidable than compared to the past!


    Prior to this, Cloudsky called him over and said a whole bunch to his face, but did not give a reason to invite Ye Yuan over.


    But now, he seemed to somewhat understand!


    Even though Guo Xu was conceited, he was also an extremely intelligent person. Guessing it to the Alchemist Association delaying in taking action, then linking it to Cloudsky''s change in attitude, he finally figured it out.


    But letting him come and invite Ye Yuan, he was still a hundred times unwilling.


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan definitely would not give him a good attitude in a short while.


    Ye Yuan seemed to spend significantly more time compared to before when refining this medicinal pill.


    Originally, he required roughly four hours to refine a Tier 9 medicinal pill, even lesser time.


    But this medicinal pill was already refined for a full four hours!


    Guo Xu was restless and uneasy by the side but was powerless to do anything.


    He did not know, but the other martial artists all saw through it. Ye Yuan was deliberately hanging him out to dry.


    Finally, this medicinal pill was done.


    Guo Xu whose patience was already wearing thin already immediately stepped forward, stopped Ye Yuan, and he said with a somber look, "Ji Qingyun, may I have a word with you?"


    However, it was like Ye Yuan did not see him, circling right past him and came to the side of a Dao Profound Realm martial artist, giving the medicinal pill to the other party cordially.


    "Transcendent-grade medicinal pill again! Lord Qingyun Zi is truly remarkable! The medicinal pills refined these two days, each one was transcendent-grade!"


    No idea who let out a sigh of admiration in the crowd. Everyone all deeply felt that way too and nodded their heads.


    "This Tier 9 Withered Glory Pill''s medicinal strength is too powerful. With your current strength, you''re completely unable to fully refine it. At that time, it will cause considerable damage to your internal organs. After going back, you can search for Essence Creek Spirit Milk to dissolve this pill, then split into five times to consume. This way, not only can it let you absorb the medicinal pill''s medicinal strength adequately, there won''t be any side-effects. Understand?" Ye Yuan instructed that martial artist.


    That martial artist had a look of gratitude. Prostrating on the ground, he said, "Thank you very much, Lord Qingyun Zi!


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No need to be overly courteous. Who''s next?"


    With this question, there was complete silence.


    Guo Xu was currently glaring like a ravening tiger. Who dared to answer him?


    "Ji Qingyun, this is the Holy City! I''m currently standing here. Without my approval, which of them dare to find you to refine pills?" Guo Xu said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan turned around and looked at him as he said smilingly, "Is that so? Then that means that, as long as you''re not here, they can find me to refine pills?"


    Guo Xu was stunned and had yet to figure out what was happening when Ye Yuan said to Ao Qian, "Old Ao, throw this noisy fellow out."


    Yes, Milord!" Ao Qian had an excited look and was about to take action to deal with Guo Xu.


    Guo Xu''s face fell, and he said furiously, "Ji Qingyun, you''re simply impervious to reason! I''m not here to pick a fight with you. I just want to invite you to make a trip to the Heavenly Saint pagoda!"


    Heavenly Saint Pagoda was the Holy City''s core, also the place where the Holy City''s three titans were at.


    One could say that the Heavenly Saint Pagoda was the Holy City''s brain!


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Inviting people? Is there inviting people with your attitude? This young master refining pills for free here is benefiting the Holy City''s martial artists. You actually threaten them. What are your intentions?"


    Ye Yuan''s words struck the heart one by one!


    Guo Xu''s face turned black, and he said, "Lord Cloudsky is waiting for you in the Heavenly Saint Pagoda!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he said with a look of surprise, "Cloudsky? Isn''t he in closed-seclusion, not seeing anyone? Lord Cloudsky is one of the Holy City''s three titans. Each time he enters closed-seclusion, it will affect the Holy City''s safety. If he wants to be in closed-seclusion, then let him stay in seclusion a while more. How can I go and meet him?"


    Guo Xu''s face became as black as the bottom of a pot.


    He even hauled Cloudsky out. He did not think that Ye Yuan would not give face at all.


    Back then, Cloudsky used closed-seclusion as an excuse. But now, Ye Yuan used these words to retaliate. How ironic.


    Ye Yuan continued saying unhurriedly, "You go back and tell Cloudsky, say that I have plenty of time. So let him slowly be in closed-seclusion. There is no need to hurry. The Holy City''s martial artists are still very warmhearted, and their need for medicinal pills are also very great. Just nice, I can let my few pupils and grand-pupil practice. When everybody''s strength increases and the fiend race attacks, our human race can also have an additional portion of assurance."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone shudder from head to toe!


    Fiend race!


    What did Lord Qingyun Zi''s words mean?


    Guo Xu was also stupefied, not expecting Ye Yuan to say such words.


    The matter of the fiend race, only the three titans, that level, knew. Although he was a Void Mystic powerhouse, he completely had not entered the Holy City''s true nucleus yet.

 1089 Not Stooping to the Same Level as a Junior

    "Lord Qingyun Zi, just now, you said �� fiend race?" A divine king powerhouse said flusteredly.


    Although legends of the fiend race were few, the Divine Realm''s martial artists were not absolutely ignorant.


    In history, the human race and the fiend race fought several times. It was impossible to not leave behind any traces at all.


    Except, legends were legends after all.


    Now that it was uttered from Ye Yuan''s mouth, it was another feeling.


    "Yeah. Lord Qingyun Zi, the fiend race that you mentioned just now, what on earth is happening?" another divine king powerhouse asked.


    One could feel that the atmosphere in the plaza became somewhat different. A kind of atmosphere called fear gradually spread out.


    In the fragmented legends, the fiend race was famous for being powerful. They virtually possess undying bodies!


    "Ji Qingyun, lay it out straight. What the hell is going on?" Guo Xu said with a grim look.


    At this time, a horrifying to the extreme pressure descended from the sky!


    An old man in luxurious clothing stood in the air, appearing in the sky above the Heavenly Saint Plaza.


    "Lord Cloudsky! It''s Cloudsky!"


    "Paying respects to Lord Cloudsky!"


    "Paying respects to Lord Cloudsky!"


    ...


    This old man in magnificent clothing was precisely one of the Holy City''s three titans, Cloudsky!


    The Holy City''s three titans possessed a paramount position. Each and every one of them was existences equivalent to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Even though Cloudsky was not in the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings, that was only because the Heaven''s Secret Tower only picked ten great divine kings.


    His strength was similarly not at all inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    The moment Cloudsky appeared, the martial artists in the Holy City all bowed down in submission.


    The three titans were the gods in their eyes and hearts!


    "Huhu, Younger Brother Ji, many years of not seeing, your elegance is even more pronounced than in the past! This old man was in closed-seclusion a few days ago, resulting in neglecting Younger Brother. I hope that Younger Brother doesn''t take offense!" Cloudsky stroked his beard and said to Ye Yuan with a smile.


    This old man really could act!


    Ye Yuan viciously looked down on this old dog in his heart. His appearance was really opportune. He was just about to say out the matter of the fiend race, and this guy jumped out. It was clearly deliberate.


    But, since Cloudsky personally showed up, it was inappropriate for him to carry on saying some things.


    Ye Yuan looked at Cloudsky and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Huhu, not to the extent of neglecting. The Holy City''s brothers and sisters are still very warmhearted. I even thought that Elder Brother Cloudsky is going to be in seclusion for eight to ten years, I may as well get closer to everybody."


    Cloudsky knew that Ye Yuan was intentionally repulsing him. Forget about eight to ten years, at the rate you mess around with, wouldn''t the entire Holy City be turned upside-down by you in another few days?


    "Haha, look at what Younger Brother is saying! This old man just had some comprehensions recently and went into seclusion for a month''s time. I just happened to exit seclusion today and let Guo Xu invite you over. Who knew that this brat failed to live up to expectations and actually offended Younger Brother Ji. Going back, I''ll definitely punish him severely."


    How could a cunning old fox like Cloudsky be so easy to get along with?


    When speaking, there was no leakage of any kind, not giving Ye Yuan any chance to launch an attack at all.


    Ye Yuan understood that whatever severe punishment was complete rubbish.


    Even though Guo Xu was just a Purple-Gold Hall''s disciple, in terms of status, he was comparable to an elder.


    Severely punish? Punish how?


    These words were merely said for Ye Yuan to hear.


    Except, these words in Guo Xu''s ears, was unprecedented humiliation.


    Lord Cloudsky actually said that he wanted to punish him in front of so many martial artists for an outsider!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Brother Cloudsky is treating me as if I am a stranger. With my status, could it be that I''m going to stoop to the level as a junior?"


    Guo Xu had not pulled himself together yet when Ye Yuan''s sentence gave him another 10 thousand point violent strike, nearly spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    This was too freaking capable of posturing!


    You are clearly someone of the same generation as me, to actually raise your status yourself without any sense of shame at all!


    Not feeling ashamed uttering these sort of words?


    But the current situation, even if he was any more displeased, he could only swallow the broken teeth into his stomach.


    Didn''t he hear Cloudsky called Younger Brother again and again?


    Cloudsky was his senior. The two people calling each other brothers, wouldn''t Ye Yuan become his senior?


    But, the way the other martial artists saw it, Ye Yuan''s words did not have any inappropriateness.


    The martial artist world had always been the one who attained first as the revered.


    Before reincarnation, Ji Qingyun was already talking on equal-footing with the likes of Cloudsky. Saying that he was a junior was also something very normal.


    Even though Guo Xu already broke through to Void Mystic, compared to an existence like Cloudsky, the disparity was still too wide.


    It was just that Guo Xu himself did not think so.


    Cloudsky chuckled and said, "Younger Brother Ji''s heart is big enough to sail a boat! Since that''s the case, then I''ll thank Younger Brother Ji on behalf of Guo Xu, this child. Younger Brother Ji, this place isn''t a venue to talk, is it alright to have a hearty talk at the Heavenly Saint Pagoda?"


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate much either and nodded his head.


    Cloudsky coming out, free pill refinement this play naturally could not carry on acting out anymore.


    But Ye Yuan was not really putting on an act either. Although his words were partially-true, partially-false, him helping these people refine pills naturally also had the intention of resisting the fiend race in it.


    It was impossible for him to help every martial artist refine pills. He could only do his best and leave the rest up to fate.


    ...


    Inside the Heavenly Saint Pagoda, Cloudsky appeared incomparably cordial.


    But in his heart, he had a splitting headache over Ye Yuan.


    He discovered that the present Ye Yuan was really not that straightforward youth back then who only pursued alchemy Dao wholeheartedly anymore.


    Although it was just a small twisting of his arm, Cloudsky was thoroughly defeated.


    In terms of scheming, in terms of methods, Ji Qingyun was absolutely a troublesome adversary!


    He was calculating in his heart how to send away this great deity.


    Serving up good tea, Cloudsky retreated to the side and asked Ye Yuan with a radiant smile, "I wonder what business Younger Brother Ji came to the Holy City this time for?"


    Ye Yuan did not reply. He just looked at Cloudsky with a smile that was not a smile, staring until he got goosebumps.


    Seeing ghosts!


    What kind of fortuitous encounter did this brat obtain in 20 years? His entire person was completely reborn!


    Cloudsky secretly cursed in his heart.


    "Huhu, Elder Brother Cloudsky asking this, could it be that I can''t come and find you if there''s nothing? Calculating it, you and I have not met for 50 to 60 years as well," just as Cloudsky was at a loss on what to do, Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Cloudsky froze, not expecting Ye Yuan to actually say such words.


    He thought that Ye Yuan was going to mention the fiend race''s matter the moment he opened his mouth and had long thought of a strategy to respond already.


    Either way, Zhuge Qingxuan was not around. As long as he used ''unable to make the decision'' as the reason and pushed everything to Zhuge Qingxuan, it would do.


    But Cloudsky never thought that Ye Yuan actually started to chat about everyday life with him!


    The cannon that was prepared could not be fired. Cloudsky nearly stifled out internal injuries.


    "What kind of expression does Elder Brother Cloudsky have? Could it be that Elder Brother Cloud doesn''t care for this Ji to come and see you?" Ye Yuan suddenly furrowed his brows and said.


    Only then did Cloudsky come back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand and said smilingly, "No, no, of course not! For Younger Brother Ji to be able to think of Elder Brother, Elder Brother can''t even wait to be happy, how can I not care? Since Younger Brother came, why not stay in the Holy City and play for a few more days. It also lets Elder Brother carry out the hospitality of a host."


    I care my ass!


    If I were to dare say a word of disagreement, you''d probably go to the plaza right away to refine pills again, right?


    This guy simply craves to see the world plunged into chaos.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he nodded and said, "Since Elder Brother is so warmhearted, then this Ji thanks Elder Brother for your hospitality."

 1090 Bloodrain Wilderness

    The smile on Cloudsky''s face was somewhat awkward. He did not think that Ye Yuan actually climbed up along the shaft and immediately agreed to it.


    What was the meaning of this?


    Could it be that this brat was planning on staying behind to fight a protracted war?


    Cloudsky discovered that he actually could not figure out Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    This punk completely did not play cards according to order!


    He clearly came for the matter of the fiend race and also successfully forced him out, but kept his mouth shut about the fiend race''s matter.


    What was this playing at?


    Ye Yuan''s words were said until Cloudsky did not even know how he should follow up.


    Ye Yuan did not care about Cloudsky''s awkwardness at all and said smilingly, "The Holy City is the Divine Realm''s leader. This Ji has admired for a long time already. Coming this time, I can just nice take this opportunity to go on a proper sight-seeing."


    Only a ghost would believe you!


    Cloudsky was unhappy in his heart, but had a smile on his face as he said, "If Younger Brother Ji wants to sight-see, this old man can personally be a guide."


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "No need for that. Elder Brother Cloudsky deals with a host of problems every day. How can you take time from your main duties and attend to this sort of small matter? Moreover, there are still quite a number of people in the Heavenly Saint Plaza waiting for this Ji to go and refine pills. If Elder Brother Cloudsky were to follow me and refine pills all the way, how boring is that."


    Cloudsky was speechless. This brat went one big circle and actually circled back around.


    Cloudsky''s expression darkened. He had also discerned that Ye Yuan had long known about the Holy City''s attitude. Hence, that was why he did not mention a word about the matter of the fiend race.


    But now, Ye Yuan continued to linger around and not leave. It seemed like he had other requests.


    This beating around the bush, no idea how long this brat was going to beat around for.


    "Ji brat, what the hell do you want? But I warn you, don''t be too overboard. The Holy City''s mane are not what you''re capable of stroking!"


    Cloudsky''s speed of turning hostile was even faster than turning pages of a book.


    Just now, he was still all smiles and friendliness. At this instant, he struck with the force of a thunderbolt.


    The moment his Void Mystic Realm aura released, that sense of oppression came from head-on.


    A profound power of laws instantly appeared on Ye Yuan''s body. Cloudsky''s oppressive sensation instantly dissipated to nothing.


    Cloudsky''s expression changed, and he said grimly, "Divine Dao laws! You �� You actually comprehended divine inscriptions!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile as he said, "Elder Brother Cloudsky''s skill of turning hostile has truly attained the acme of perfection! This Ji is in admiration! But, to say stroking your whiskers, it seems like I''ve already stroked before. After that, you still invited me here."


    Cloudsky could not help freezing when he heard that. When did this boy become so razor-tongued?


    "Put away that ruse of yours. With your strength and status, if you really have confidence in making me stay, you''d have probably long made a move, right? About the divine artifact on this Ji, I don''t believe that you aren''t moved at all." Ye Yuan continued with a calm and composed appearance.


    Cloudsky was utterly defeated and instantly recalled his aura, looking at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost.


    It was not once or twice that he had dealings with Ye Yuan. But he had never felt nowhere to bite down like today before.


    As one of the Holy City''s three titans, Cloudsky always held a pearl of wisdom in his hands, taking every conceivable possibility into account.


    But facing Ye Yuan, he had a feeling of having his hands and feet tied up today.


    "What the hell do you want?" Cloudsky asked with a black face.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "I want to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness!"


    Cloudsky''s expression changed, and he immediately said, "Impossible!"


    Toward Cloudsky''s reaction, Ye Yuan did not feel surprised. He just said calmly, "You know that I''m the son of heaven''s mandate, so you want to let me duke it out with the fiend race unchecked. Hence, that''s why you didn''t make a move on me. But how much threat do you think I can pose to the fiend race with my current realm?"


    Cloudsky''s expression changed again and again. He was almost breaking down.


    Ye Yuan actually even knew this sort of thing!


    The son of heaven''s mandate, as well as the matter of the fiend race, were both the Divine Realm''s secrets. Many super holy lands with shallow foundations did not even know.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan had actually long known that he was the son of heaven''s mandate. That was fine, but he actually even knew that the Holy City knew that he was the son of heaven''s mandate.


    It sounded somewhat awkward, but the astonishment in Cloudsky''s heart could not be any greater.


    A faint smile hung on Ye Yuan''s face, and he welcomed Cloudsky''s gaze just like this.


    After a long time, Cloudsky finally recovered from his shock and drew a deep breath as he said, "How did you know?!"


    "If you didn''t want people to know, best if you didn''t do it. How I found out, you don''t need to care. I''m only asking you, agree or not?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cloudsky narrowed his eyes and said, "If I don''t agree?"


    "I''ll go right now. But before long, the entire Divine Realm will know about the Holy City''s filthy past. How do you think martial artists all over the world will view you guys?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "Do you think that they will believe you or believe the Holy City?" Cloudsky said with a cold snort.


    "My words alone are naturally inconsequential. But if the Demon Region''s Four Great Divine Beasts'' progenies united and voice up? 50 thousand years ago, the ones who fought dauntlessly in bloody battles were them. I think nobody has a greater right to speak than them, right?"


    Cloudsky discovered that the things Ye Yuan knew were far more than he imagined.


    "Humph! This old man knows that you''re bearing dragon blood, but how proud are the Four Great Divine Beasts'' progenies? Will they listen to you ordering them around?" Cloudsky said with a cold snort.


    Not that Cloudsky was out of touch with the outside world, but that the exchanges between the human race and Demon Region were too few.


    The matter of the Medicine King Hall ambushing the White Tiger Clan, the Holy City had somewhat heard of it. But the rest, he did not know.


    Especially the Azure Dragon Clan and White Tiger Clan''s internal affairs. Cloudsky was even less informed.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "You might not know yet, but this Ji is currently the dragon clan''s common lord. While my brother, White Light, is of the Perfect White Tiger Physique that''s hard to encounter once in 100 thousand years in the White Tiger Clan. Do you think that I have this capability or not?"


    Cloudsky''s body trembled all over, and he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    He wanted to see through that Ye Yuan was lying from his eyes. But, he was disappointed.


    No idea when, Ye Yuan had an additional fire rod in his hands. Seeing that fire rod, Cloudsky''s eyeballs nearly fell out.


    "I think you should be very curious about what this divine artifact in my hand is. With the Holy City''s foundation, it shouldn''t be that you don''t recognize it, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "S-Sacred Dragon Token? This �� How is this possible? Before divine Dao disappeared, the Sacred Dragon Token had already vanished. Why would it appear in your hands!" Cloudsky said in disbelief.


    At this instant, he no longer doubted Ye Yuan''s words anymore.


    The dragon clan''s ancestral teachings, Cloudsky was naturally aware.


    Ye Yuan holding the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands, then he was the dragon clan''s common lord. This point, there was nothing to doubt.


    Except, he was very perplexed. Why would the dragon clan''s supreme divine artifact acknowledge Ye Yuan, a human, as their leader?!


    Looking at the Sacred Dragon Token in Ye Yuan''s hands, Cloudsky suddenly had an intense notion of forcibly taking possession of it.


    He knew that this Sacred Dragon Token was not an ordinary divine artifact, but a legendary heavenly divine artifact!


    Even in the Divine Dao Era, it was exceedingly rare as well!


    However, after a fierce mental struggle, he finally still gave up.


    The son of heaven''s mandate carried the mandate of heaven. There had never been a slip up since time immemorial. No matter how strong he, Cloudsky, was, it was also not possible to defy heaven.


    Today, the shock that Ye Yuan gave him was too many.


    He was seriously unable to imagine what on earth Ye Yuan experienced in these 20 years.


    "Fine then, I promise you! But you can only go in alone!" Cloudsky finally still compromised.

 1091 Forever Canst Compare To

    The Divine Realm had two great lands teeming with spirit medicines. One of them was naturally the Immemorial Medicine Garden, while the other was the Holy City''s Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Different from the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s once every 500 years opening, the Bloodrain Wilderness was the private property of the Holy City and the Alchemist Association.


    If they wanted to go in, they could do so at anytime.


    The Bloodrain Wilderness was a mystic realm. The entrance was inside the Heavenly Saint Pagoda. Bystanders were completely unable to enter.


    Of course, the Bloodrain Wilderness was similarly very dangerous. Inside was the playground of desolate beasts.


    It was precisely because so that the Bloodrain Wilderness had always been the place where the Holy City trained the disciples under them.


    However, the Bloodrain Wilderness had a total of seven levels. Each level was more dangerous than the other.


    The Holy City training their disciples was also merely within the first two levels.


    After the third level, without Void Mystic Realm strength, those who enter would definitely die!


    Ye Yuan had heard Ji Zhengyang mention before. It was said that the deepest area of the Holy City reached even the sixth level.


    But no one had ever ventured into the fabled seventh level before.


    Even Zhuge Qingxuan also did not dare to enter the seventh level.


    Of course, all of these were just legends. Whether or not Zhuge Qingxuan entered the seventh level before, probably only he himself knew.


    The reason why the Bloodrain Wilderness got its name was that blood rain was always falling inside this mystic realm.


    This blood rain was not a bad thing. Instead, it contained terrifying essence energy and could help martial artists to break through.


    All in all, this Bloodrain Wilderness was a treasure land!


    Originally, it was not the time yet for the trial of the Holy City''s disciples. But because of Ye Yuan''s request, Cloudsky had no choice but to bring forward the trial this time.


    Opening the Bloodrain Wilderness naturally had to expend considerable resources. It was impossible for Cloudsky to open it specifically for Ye Yuan alone.


    Moreover, if he really let Ye Yuan go in alone, Cloudsky would be worried too.


    Entering the Bloodrain Wilderness this time was a trial in name. But in reality, it was more important to keep tabs on Ye Yuan.


    Of course, it was not by relying on those Dao Profound Realm and Divine King Realm disciples, but by relying on Guo Xu and the Spirit Hound Divine King.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King was a Void Mystic powerhouse on the same level as the Extreme Sword Divine King. But if they really fought, the Extreme Sword Divine King was probably not the Spirit Hound Divine King''s match.


    The reason why the Spirit Hound Divine King got his name was that he always brought a contract beast along by his side: the Howling Sky Divine Hound!


    This Howling Sky Divine Hound was similarly a Void Mystic powerhouse. He did not take human form. When coupled together with the Spirit Hound Divine King, ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses were really not a match.


    With him leading the team to keep watch on Ye Yuan, Cloudsky was naturally reassured.


    It was because Ye Yuan agreed to his request to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness alone!


    Ao Qian, Kuang Tianming, Jiang Taicang, even Ruan Shuangzhou, they were all not allowed to enter this time.


    Ye Yuan agreeing to this request naturally made his group of subordinates endlessly worried.


    "Milord, it''s too dangerous for you to enter by yourself! Better bring Old Ao along!" Ao Qian said.


    "Milord, this Bloodrain Wilderness isn''t a safe place. I heard that the Holy City once had quite a few Void Mystic Realm elders perish inside too. How can it do for you to enter alone?" Jiang Taicang said.


    "Younger Brother, this trip is perilous, you need to think thrice before you act! That pair of dog person isn''t anything good. What if they harm you inside ��" Kuang Tianming also urged.


    The dog person he was talking about was naturally the Spirit Hound Divine King and his dog.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You all don''t have to worry. Just wait for me outside. At most half a year''s time, I''ll definitely come out."


    Ye Yuan agreed to Cloudsky''s terms. He naturally would not stupidly leave a bunch of people at the Holy City either.


    He made Cloudsky swear a heavenly Dao oath to ensure the safety of Ao Qian and the rest inside the city before setting his mind at ease and leaving.


    Cloudsky not daring to make a move on him was because he could not see through him. But once he entered the Blooddain Wilderness, it was hard to guarantee that he would not make a move on Ao Qian and the rest.


    On the other side, Cloudsky also grabbed hold of the Spirit Hound Divine King and Guo Xu, and personally gave confidential instructions on how to proceed.


    "For Ji Qingyun to want to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness, he''s definitely aiming for the spirit medicines inside. He already swore a heavenly Dao oath that he would at most only harvest five stalks of spirit medicine. But I feel that the spirit medicines he wants to find are definitely not simple. Perhaps, he''s aiming for the fifth level. You guys got to remember to absolutely not let him enter the fifth level, understood?" Cloudsky said with incomparable solemnness.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King remained silent. He just nodded his head slightly.


    But Guo Xu answered, "Yes, Lord Cloudsky!"


    Cloudsky gave Guo Xu a glance and reminded, "I know that you remain unconvinced towards him in your heart. But trust me, you''re not his match! Guo Xu, you''re the Holy City''s future. You have to have a longer-term view of the situation. Ji Qingyun is someone destined to die. But the one who kills him definitely won''t be you! When you reign the Divine Realm in the future, he''d long be a withered skeleton in the graveyard already!"


    When Guo Xu heard that, he had all sorts of emotions jumbled up in his heart.


    Cloudsky''s words had a deep meaning. But one thing was very clear, that was that he was inferior to Ji Qingyun!


    Furthermore, it was that he was forever inferior!


    Only after Ji Qingyun died could he have a chance to surpass the former.


    He understood the logic but was even more unconvinced in his heart.


    Based on what that he was inferior to Ji Qingyun?


    He could not compare to the previous life''s Ji Qingyun. Could it be that he could not even compare to this Third Level Dao Profound rookie in front of him?


    ...


    Carrying this grievance and unwillingness to submit, Guo Xu entered the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    A continuous pattering of blood-red drizzle lightly brushed on everyone''s faces, rousing people''s spirits.


    Traces of essence energy entered the body through the skin, then converged into the essence energy sea. Ye Yuan felt that his Third Level Dao Profound that had just broken through not long ago gradually consolidating.


    Originally, Ye Yuan forcing Cloudsky out, he did indeed thought of ruthlessly berating the other party by enumerating his wrong-doings.


    But later on, he changed his mind.


    Rather than hope for the Holy City to deal with the fiend race, he might as well increase his strength himself to defend the Divine Realm.


    Since he was the son of heaven''s mandate, then he should shoulder the responsibility of this era.


    Exterminating the Medicine King Hall, rather than doing it through others, it was way more satisfying for him to take revenge himself!


    The actions of Cloudsky and the others were naturally deplorable, but why not borrow the Holy City''s strength to make himself powerful?


    If the Dao Defying Pill was really able to let him charge up to Deity Realm, then dealing with the fiend race might not need to borrow the Holy City''s strength at all.


    At that time, even Zhuge Qingxuan would also have to be at his mercy!


    When they knew that he was able to break through to the Deity Realm because he borrowed the Holy City''s strength, who knows what their mood would be like.


    Thinking about it, Ye Yuan also looked forward to it very much.


    Ye Yuan only obtained the Iceflame Mystic Sovereign Ganoderma inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Out of nine core medicines, it was still missing eight strains.


    If the place the eight strains of spirit medicines had the greatest hope to be found, it was undoubtedly the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Hence, that was why he threatened to disseminate the Holy City''s scandal, and made Cloudsky let him into the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    After a round of meditation, Ye Yuan''s Third Level Dao Profound thoroughly consolidated. His cultivation advanced significantly again.


    He could not help sighing emotionally in his heart. No wonder the Holy City was so powerful.


    This blood rain''s baptism could roughly match ordinary martial artists'' ten years of bitter cultivation!


    Although the absorption effects of the essence energy would continuously diminish, staying in this Bloodrain Wilderness for as long as half a year was likely comparable to several decades of bitter cultivation in the outside world already.


    This sort of condition, which faction could match it?


    Just as Ye Yuan was filled with vicissitudes of emotions, Guo Xu suddenly came over and said coldly, "Ji Qingyun, I want to challenge you!"

 1092 Pseudo-Sword Domain VS Sword Domain

    Ye Yuan shot Guo Xu a glance and said smilingly, "Held it in for very long, right?"


    One sentence made Guo Xu flush till his entire face turned scarlet-red.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan had long seen through his thoughts.


    Cloudsky''s words made him extremely unconvinced in his heart. Actually, in his view, with him holding the line was already sufficient. There was no need to send the Spirit Hound Divine King here at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended Heaven Man Unity, it also would not work too well in front of him, this Void Mystic Realm powerhouse.


    At most, it was just a little troublesome.


    "Just say whether you dare to agree or not!" Guo Xu said with a cold face.


    Ye Yuan did not answer him but looked towards the Spirit Hound Divine King. The Spirit Hound Divine King had an unconcerned appearance. It was as if he did not have the intention of interfering.


    "Looks like you also wish to measure my current strength?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King did not speak the entire time. But when he heard that, he opened his mouth and said two words: "That''s right!"


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and let out a sigh as he said, "Looks like not thrashing you, you''ll forever not know how great the disparity between us is! Alright then, as you wish!"


    Guo Xu said with a disdainful look, "Do you think that �� I''m still that person back then? A mere Third Level Dao Profound also dares to be so cocky in front of me, Guo Xu! Today, I''ll let you broaden your knowledge at what''s called a true martial Dao genius! Heaven Massacring Sword Domain!"


    Done talking, the moment Guo Xu''s divine king domain released, horrifying sword energy instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside.


    The Heaven Massacring Sword Domain was Guo Xu''s divine king domain. Furthermore, it was the Holy City''s divine rank martial technique with boundless power.


    These few years, Guo Xu devoted to comprehending supreme true intents, improving exceedingly quickly. He was already almost catching up to those older generation Void Mystic powerhouses.


    The likes of Yue Xinping was utterly not worth mentioning in front of him.


    By the side, when the Spirit Hound Divine Realm saw the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain, he also nodded his head slightly.


    Guo Xu was treated as the next Heaven Stabilizing Divine King to groom by the Holy City. This divine king domain was indeed praiseworthy.


    "Eldest Senior Brother is mighty!"


    "Come on, Eldest Senior Brother! Beat this dogfart Qingyun Zi down!"


    "Eldest Senior Brother is the junior generation''s number one person!"


    The ones who came this time, apart from Ye Yuan, were all the Purple-Gold Hall''s disciples.


    These people would naturally stand on Guo Xu''s side.


    But their admiration toward Guo Xu came from the bottom of their hearts.


    These few years, Guo Xu already hardly ever made an appearance in the Purple-Gold Hall. They also extremely seldom saw Guo Xu take action as well.


    Seeing Guo Xu''s Heaven Massacring Sword Domain this time, each and every one of them all exclaimed with incomparable admiration.


    Third Level Dao Profound against Void Mystic, this was a battle without the least bit of suspense in the first place. But they all knew that Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in his possession.


    Although a divine king domain was strong, divine artifacts were nothing to be trifled with.


    In this world, only divine artifacts could make up for the tremendous gap in-between this.


    Guo Xu''s sword domain made a showy display of his ability. Within a 500 feet radius around him, it formed a death zone.


    Anything that entered this field would be sliced into shreds by countless sword lights!


    He suddenly unleashed his divine king domain, Ye Yuan was right within these 500 feet radius.


    This first round was already considered as a sneak attack.


    Facing Ye Yuan, Guo Xu would not lower his guard. He knew that Ye Yuan had a divine artifact in his hands. Hence, he did not plan on killing with one blow.


    He already prepared contingency plans to cope with the power of Ye Yuan''s divine artifact.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did not seem to immediately use the divine artifact, allowing the countless sword lights to engulf him.


    "En? What''s going on here? This Ji Qingyun was still posturing just now. Could it be that he died all of a sudden?"


    "Haha, really not doing up an act when bragging. He died without even using the divine artifact!"


    "Eldest Senior Brother is mighty! This Ji Qingyun is simply a paper tiger!"


    Looking from the outside world, one could not see the actual situation inside the sword domain at all. But Guo Xu''s face was incomparably solemn at this time.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King, who had been steady as a mountain all along, also trembled all over. He opened his eyes wide and stared fixedly at the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain.


    They distinctly sensed that inside the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain, there was still a miniature divine king domain!


    Ji Qingyun actually comprehended a divine king domain with Third Level Dao Profound cultivation realm?


    This sort of thing was truly too startling, right?


    "Damn it! I really underestimated you! But, with such a weak divine king domain, how long can it resist?"


    Guo Xu gnashed his teeth hatefully and suddenly deployed 70% of the emperor qi within his body. The power of the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain skyrocketed several times all at once!


    For a moment, sword light surged within that 500 feet radius and was incomparably gorgeous.


    Guo Xu''s juniors finally detected a hint of something not right. The shouting also gradually ceased.


    Each and every one of them was incredibly shocked, not understanding how a Third Level Dao Profound survived inside the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain under the situation where he did not deploy a divine artifact?


    But, seeing Guo Xu''s appearance akin to facing a great enemy, they knew that this Ji Qingyun was really not easy to deal with!


    Sensing Ye Yuan''s divine king domain becoming smaller and smaller, a look of smugness surfaced on Guo Xu''s face once more.


    How strong could the divine king domain displayed by a Third Level Dao Profound be?


    "Still not using the divine artifact? I admit that you''re very impressive. But carry on pretending like this, you''ll die very horribly!" Guo Xu said with a cold smile.


    "As you wish!"


    Guo Xu''s voice had yet to fade when a voice transmitted out from inside the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain.


    Immediately after, Guo Xu suddenly sensed that his Heaven Massacring Sword Domain actually showed signs of imminent collapse!


    Ye Yuan''s divine king domain was actually in the midst of rapid expansion!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Several azure sword lights broke out akin to breaking out of a cocoon, piercing right through Guo Xu''s divine king domain!


    After that, more and more sword lights penetrated out, poking Guo Xu''s Heaven Massacring Sword Domain until it was like a wasp''s nest.


    Seeing this scene, Guo Xu''s expression changed greatly and knew that he could no longer suppress Ye Yuan''s divine king domain, and hastily retreated!


    Rumble!


    A tremendous force spread out, immediately blasted Guo Xu out far away.


    Ye Yuan''s pseudo-divine king domain finally emerged in everyone''s field of vision.


    At this time, Ye Yuan stood while holding his sword, his aura imposing. It was actually not much weaker compared to Guo Xu in the least bit.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King''s gaze turned intent, looking at the longsword in Ye Yuan''s hands in disbelief!


    "Longsword divine artifact!" The Spirit Hound Divine King''s voice exuded thick astonishment.


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan''s divine king domain was very weak, extraordinarily weak.


    But through this Evil Extermination Sword''s augmentation, his divine king domain was actually able to stand up to Guo Xu''s Heaven Massacring Sword Domain as equals!


    This Evil Extermination Sword was simply a divine artifact custom-made for Ye Yuan!


    Guo Xu being sent flying, this round was clearly Ye Yuan taking the upper-hand.


    Guo Xu did not think that Ye Yuan''s Martial Dao cultivation was actually fearsome to such a degree.


    Even if not borrowing the power of the divine sword, just based on him comprehending a divine king domain at the Third Level Dao Profound, this point, left him far behind in the dust!


    Guo Xu was very clear that before reincarnating, Ji Qingyun did not comprehend any supreme true intents.


    But now that a mere 20 years passed, Ye Yuan actually comprehended a divine king domain.


    This sort of improvement speed, saying that it was number one in the Divine Realm was not the slightest bit over-the-top!


    However, this blow to Guo Xu was all-round!

 1093 Killing Inten

    "I refuse to believe that a trifling Third Level Dao Profound can that heaven-defying! Heaven Massacring Sword Art!"


    Guo Xu finally still erupted. He completely could not accept this fact before his eyes.


    Hence, he unleashed his strongest sword!


    Right then, a figure suddenly barged into his divine king domain, slamming a palm onto his longsword.


    Ring ��


    The longsword flew out of his hand and drew a single arc in the air, stabbing into the ground.


    "Forget it, you can''t beat him. Even if you won, it''s also winning through unorthodox means," the Spirit Hound Divine King''s voice sounded out by Guo Xu''s ear.


    Guo Xu knelt down with a thud, a look of helplessness.


    His junior brothers had long lowered the banners and muffled the drums already. Currently, each and every one of them exchanged glances, uncertain how they should step forward to comfort Eldest Senior Brother too.


    Many years ago, Ji Qingyun surpassed Eldest Senior Brother all-round, that was because his alchemy Dao was heaven-defying.


    But now, even Ji Qingyun''s martial Dao was so terrifying. Tis �� How to make people accept this?


    "Come on!"


    The Spirit Hound Divine King did not have the intention of going to console Guo Xu. He just nonchalantly said a sentence and turned around and left.


    Ye Yuan put away the Evil Extermination Sword and set off toward the depths of the first level following the Spirit Hound Divine King.


    ...


    Several hours after Ye Yuan and the others left, a series of ripples surfaced in the space of the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Three black-clothed people actually directly shuttled out from within the void!


    "This Spirithorn Shattering Mirror is indeed formidable. As long as there''s a coordinate, one can freely shuttle through space! The Bloodrain Wilderness is the Holy City''s restricted land. No outsiders have ever came before," a black-clothed person said.


    The black-clothed person held a treasure mirror in his hands. It was shockingly the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror that escaped through the void inside the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm!


    "With Lord Divine Master casting the spell, what does shuttling through space count as? Before long, the entire Divine Realm will be ours!" another person said.


    "This time, Lord Divine Master put down an arm and leg. Even the Mountain and River State Painting, this kind of heaven-defying divine artifact, was brought out. We mustn''t mess up in the slightest!" the third person said.


    "Relax, with the three of our strength plus three great divine artifacts, that Ye Yuan absolutely won''t get lucky!" the first black-clothed person said.


    "Mm, this Mountain and River State Painting isn''t that Bright Moon City''s girl''s counterfeit. Not only is its power boundless, it even has the effect of concealing heaven''s secrets. As long as Ye Yuan is taken inside, with the three of our strength, could it be that we can''t kill him still? Heh heh, the son of heaven''s mandate perishing prematurely, I want to see what the human race use to withstand my fiend race''s great army this time!" the second person said.


    "Better not lower our guard! Ye Yuan this boy is extremely freakish. Lord Divine Master''s schemes had already been ruined at his hands several times. If not for him, Lord Divine Master would have long been fighting for the throne of the Divine Realm already, his momentum unstoppable! Moreover, you all have to know, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm back then was completely insignificant. But now, he''s already a Third Level Dao Profound martial artist and even comprehended a divine king domain. Wanting to kill him is not an easy matter! You guys don''t forget how Lord Divine Master instructed before departure!" the third person said in a solemn voice.


    The moment these words came out, the other two people''s expressions turned stiff.


    "Alright, enough crap! We have to enter the third level ahead of schedule and set up an ambush and wait for him to enter. Only if he enters the Mountain and River State Painting will we have a chance to kill him! If we can''t kill him, we can only die here!"


    Done talking, the first black-clothed person deployed the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror once more. The three people immediately vanished on the spot.


    Ye Yuan never would have thought that a certain death scheme targeting him was already waiting for him in the depths of the Bloodrain Wilderness!


    ...


    While walking, Ye Yuan''s brows suddenly furrowed, and he stopped his footsteps.


    "What is it?" Tt Spirit Hound Divine King said.


    "Zhao Lingdong, did you feel that the place we entered seemed to have a hint of undulation?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Zhao Lingdong was the Spirit Hound Divine King''s original name. It was just that the people who dared to directly address without honorifics were already exceedingly few.


    Just earlier, he detected a trace of faintly discernible spatial undulation flash and passed right away. And the direction was precisely the place they entered.


    Although this kind of undulation was next to nothing, Ye Yuan had long entered the realm of Heaven Man Unity already. He was exceptionally sensitive towards the surrounding environment.


    When the Spirit Hound Divine King heard, he said, "No. You wouldn''t have had a false impression, right? We''re already 100 thousand miles away from the entrance area. You''re actually still able to perceive the undulations over there? Furthermore, the Bloodrain Wilderness is situated within a spatial rift. Having a trace of undulation is also normal. Moreover, if there''s really any situation, with Howlsky''s sharp sense, he''ll definitely be able to detect it."


    "What undulations? You''re thinking too much, right? The Bloodrain Wilderness has never had outsiders enter before. Apart from us, who else is able to come in? Don''t try to find fault!" Guo Xu said with a cold snort.


    Although he recovered to his senses from the shock, Guo Xu currently still found Ye Yuan displeasing no matter how he looked at him.


    He knew that he was being jealous of Ye Yuan.


    But he just could not control his own emotions.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and shook his head as he said, "Maybe I was overly sensitive. Carry on walking then."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took the lead and left.


    Following Ye Yuan, a glint flickered across the Spirit Hound Divine King''s eyes.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan''s perception was actually so sharp!


    This Bloodrain Wilderness''s spatial coordinates were precisely given to those black-clothed men by the Spirit Hound Divine King, Zhao Lingdong.


    For so many years, the Spirit Hound Divine King had been lying low within the Holy City all along.


    He was the same as Ji Canglan, both members of the fiend race!


    That mysterious Lord Divine Master had long plotted for a long time already. The Holy City, such an important place, how could he possibly not plant informants?


    The entire Holy City, apart from the three titans who knew that Ye Yuan was the son of heaven''s mandate, there was still Zhao Lingdong!


    He passed the news of Ye Yuan about to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness to Lord Divine Master. Lord Divine Master immediately decided to carry out an encirclement campaign against Ye Yuan!


    This time, these three black-clothed men that Lord Divine Master sent out were all Holy King class powerhouses.


    The strength of holy kings could absolutely rival the human race''s Void Mystic powerhouses.


    The strength of any person among the three of them was not beneath Zhao Lingdong!


    This was also to say that, adding in the Howling Sky Divine Hound, a total of five Void Mystic Realm powerhouses were planning on ambushing Ye Yuan!


    Except, Zhao Lingdong did not think that his companions had just sneaked into the Bloodrain Wilderness, and Ye Yuan detected it already!


    This first level did not pose much of a danger to them.


    Along the way, their party practically pushed in as far as 100 thousand miles with a sweeping attitude.


    The perception radius of a Dao Profound powerhouse was at most just 10 thousand miles.


    But Ye Yuan''s perception was actually 10 times as far as ordinary Dao Profound powerhouses! This was simply too freakish!


    Moreover, Zhao Lingdong knew that opening up space with the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, the undulations produced was extremely minute. Even within a 20 thousand miles radius, ordinary martial artists might not be able to perceive it either.


    But, they were actually unable to hide from Ye Yuan''s eyes and ears.


    Even though it was just an exceedingly subtle whiff, Ye Yuan had indeed detected it.


    Perhaps Guo Xu they all felt that Ye Yuan was finding trouble. But Zhao Lingdong knew that he was not!The name of Howling Sky Divine Hound

 1094 Giant Ape Desolate Beas

    Navigating for three days straight, Ye Yuan''s party finally arrived at the second level''s entrance area.


    "Second level, the desolate beasts belong to me, spirit medicines belong to you guys," Ye Yuan said this one sentence, and then immediately entered the second level.


    At the second level, desolate beasts were basically Divine King rank.


    These desolate beasts'' strengths were extremely strong. Furthermore, their skin was coarse, and their flesh thick. These Purple-Gold Hall disciples might not be a match for a desolate beast individually.


    But Ye Yuan said that he wanted to cover the second level''s desolate beasts.


    If it were before, they would definitely feel that Ye Yuan was boasting. A Third Level Dao Profound, based on what to match a Divine King rank desolate beast?


    But after witnessing his face-off with Guo Xu, there was already no one who dared to underestimate Ye Yuan.


    Even if he did not use that divine sword, Ye Yuan''s strength was also much stronger compared to the vast majority of the people among them.


    "Looks like him entering this Bloodrain Wilderness isn''t just for spirit medicines. He even wants to borrow the desolate beasts here to temper himself," the Spirit Hound Divine King said.


    "Humph! At most half a year''s time, how much improvement can he have?" Guo Xu said disdainfully.


    "I just don''t know what method he used to make Lord Cloudsky agree. The Bloodrain Wilderness has never had a precedent of opening up to an outsider before. I didn''t think that this time, an exception was actually made," the Spirit Hound Divine King said.


    Guo Xu had a gloomy look but did not speak, keeping pace with Ye Yuan''s footsteps.


    "Roar!"


    An earth-shaking roar echoed out. An ape-like desolate beast suddenly dashed out, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan at the foremost of the team.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he was not alarmed but delighted instead. Casually drawing the Starmoon Sword, he wielded the sword and was going to step forward and battle.


    But right then, an afterimage drew across by his side, speeding towards that desolate beast with even swifter speed.


    "Heaven Massacring Sword Domain!"


    The moment the Divine King domain opened, countless sword light immediately cut countless holes on that desolate beast.


    Rumble!


    The desolate beast did not have time to flare up and was slain by Guo Xu neat and tidily.


    The attack of a Void Mystic powerhouse, how could this ordinary Divine King rank desolate beast be a match?


    Clank!


    Guo Xu returned the sword to its sheath, incomparably elegant.


    Ye Yuan''s face sunk, and he said, "Guo Xu, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Guo Xu had a look of composure as he said coolly, "What meaning of what? This Bloodrain Wilderness is my Holy City''s territory. I, as the Purple-Gold Hall''s head disciple, am training martial techniques here. Could it be that there''s anything improper?"


    Done talking, Guo Xu shot Ye Yuan a glance like putting on a show of force and strutted off.


    His objective was very simple. Since Ye Yuan wanted to borrow the desolate beasts here to increase his strength, then he would not let Ye Yuan increase it.


    He was going to immediately take action and kill the desolate beasts encountered, not giving Ye Yuan any chance at all.


    Unless, Ye Yuan used that divine sword.


    But, if he used the divine sword, it could not achieve the effect of tempering at all.


    As for whether or not Ye Yuan would rampage, he was even less worried.


    With the Spirit Hound Divine King here, two men and one dog, three great Void Mystic powerhouses, could Ye Yuan overturn the heavens still?


    Divine King Realm desolate beasts were currently the most suitable opponents for Ye Yuan.


    Under the circumstances of not using divine artifacts, Ye Yuan should be evenly-matched with peak Divine King rank desolate beasts.


    "Roar ��"


    All of a sudden, an ear-splitting roar sounded out without a break.


    Hearing the sound, it was very similar to that ape desolate beast that was killed by Guo Xu earlier.


    Rumble ��


    The earth trembled!


    In the distance, seven or eight desolate beasts galloped over.


    Looking from the imposing momentum, these eight desolate beasts'' strengths were actually all peak Divine King!


    "Haha, came right on time!" Guo Xu laughed loudly. Stepping forward with his hand resting on his sword, he charged towards those eight ape desolate beasts.


    The moment the Heaven Massacring Sword Domain opened up, Guo Xu totally thought that he would rampage in all directions.


    Alas, he miscalculated!


    The moment those eight ape desolate beasts saw Guo Xu bearing down menacingly, they actually each displayed a very odd posture.


    When Guo Xu approached, the eight desolate beasts suddenly attacked with full force.


    The eight streams of essence energy were like a cannonball, instantly gathering together.


    An outrageous energy undulation spread out. Guo Xu was just about to show off his power, but when he saw this scene, his expression changed drastically.


    Except, it was already too late for him to want to switch moves.


    Rumble!


    That essence energy cannonball immediately slammed onto his Heaven Massacring Sword Domain. A large crater was actually smashed out on the powerful Divine King domain.


    While Guo Xu''s body immediately flew back in reverse.


    "Puhwark!"


    Guo Xu''s body landed on the ground, and his junior apprentice brother hurriedly went up to support him. But he spewed out a mouthful of blood straightaway.


    "Roar ��"


    The eight ape desolate beasts let out a heaven-shaking roar. That appearance was like dancing for joy at this attack''s victory.


    "Damn it! These eight apes actually had this sort of strange joint-attack method. The power of an attack is actually not beneath Void Mystic powerhouses!" Guo Xu said hatefully.


    It was clearly just eight peak Divine King rank desolate beasts. But the power of that joint-attack earlier was actually so formidable.


    Guo Xu was careless for a moment too, wanting to steal a march on Ye Yuan and slay the desolate beasts as soon as possible. He did not expect to actually suffer a major loss.


    Currently, his blood and qi were in turmoil. A mouthful of essence energy was actually unable to be mustered up within a short time!


    Those eight ape desolate beasts actually still understood the logic of following up a victory with hot pursuit. After a brief celebration, they chased over to this side with large strides.


    Rumble ��


    Eight 100-foot tall giant apes galloping his unison, it felt like the earth was going to be cracked.


    These eight giant apes even displayed that strange posture earlier while running.


    They actually wanted to do it a second time!


    Right then, Ye Yuan moved. His figure instantly vanished from where he stood.


    Merging into heaven and earth!


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan plunged in the middle of the eight giant apes.


    His pseudo-Divine King domain opening up, violent sword energy instantly threw the tempo of the giant apes'' joint-attack into disorder.


    Clink clank, clink clank.


    Countless sword energy hacked onto the giant apes and actually emitted the sound of metal clashing.


    These eight giant apes'' bodies were actually comparable to holy artifacts.


    Ye Yuan''s sword lights were also unable to breach their defenses for a short time!


    Of course, this was still primarily because Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was lacking. His sword intent concept was attained, but he did not have powerful essence energy to support it.


    If he had Divine King Realm essence energy, he would have killed at least two giant apes at this time already.


    These giant apes clearly did not expect that this seemingly unremarkable human actually took them by surprise.


    Ye Yuan''s random entry immediately upset the giant apes'' joint-attack. They were each fighting their own battle currently. But Ye Yuan had plenty of room to play, shuttling back and forth between them.


    For some time, both sides actually fought until they were equally matched.


    Although Ye Yuan''s Divine King domain was temporarily unable to breach the giant apes'' defenses, as time passed, they could be exhausted to death by Ye Yuan.


    Eight giant apes howled incessantly. Each and every one of them wanted to display that strange posture.


    But Ye Yuan did not give them a chance at all!


    Every time they wanted to make a joint attack, Ye Yuan''s countless sword lights would focus on a giant ape to greet it.


    Even if his Divine King domain was any weaker, once it went to say hello on a person''s body, it would be too much for the other party to take as well.


    And their joint-attack, as long as one could not keep up, it would directly be broken.


    Guo Xu looked at this scene, his expression unspeakably gloomy.


    He did not think that he actually failed miserably in an easy task.

 1095 Concepts Breakthrough

    Under the heart realm of Heaven Man Unity, the eight giant apes'' every movement and action were mapped in Ye Yuan''s mind, revealing every tiny detail.


    These eight giant apes were perfect as opponents for him.


    These eight giant apes'' strengths were very fearsome. Even if they did not use joint-attacks, Ye Yuan also felt exceptionally strenuous to cope with it.


    But it was precisely this feeling of limit-like that could stimulate Ye Yuan''s potential!


    The giant apes'' iron fists produced fierce winds by Ye Yuan''s ears.


    Although Ye Yuan could accurately avoid their fists, the essence energy force-wind howled from the fists also made it too much for Ye Yuan to bear.


    Eight giant apes, 16 iron fists weaving together, forming an exceedingly terrifying force-wind web in the air.


    Even if Ye Yuan possessed a divine king domain, he also sustained injuries on many parts of his body.


    However, those eight giant apes were nowhere better.


    Ye Yuan was too nimble. Under the whittling of the Limitless Sword Domain, the eight giant apes had many cuts sliced open on their bodies by him.


    The eight giant apes all suffered varying degrees of injuries.


    All along, the opponents that Ye Yuan encountered were all overly powerful. Many times, he had to borrow the power of divine artifacts before he could barely manage to force the opponent back.


    But now, he was truly relying on his own strength to be evenly-matched with these eight giant apes.


    By the side, the Purple-Gold Hall disciples watched until they were incredibly terrified.


    In their understanding, the reason why Ye Yuan was powerful was likely still by relying on his divine artifact.


    But just how powerful his true strength was, they had never experienced before.


    This time, they really experienced it.


    A Third Level Dao Profound, battling eight giant apes, was actually evenly-matched.


    This strength, forget about laughing proudly among the same rank, even among them peak divine kings, it was also far greater!


    "I didn''t think that Ji Qingyun''s martial Dao strength had actually reached this step! My strength, dealing with one giant ape is already enough to choke on. He actually didn''t fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest dealing with eight!" a peak divine king Purple-Gold Hall disciple said.


    "Truly remarkable! This guy''s alchemy Dao is heaven-defying. But looking at it now, his martial Dao is not the slightest bit weaker than his alchemy Dao!" Another divine king powerhouse sighed with admiration.


    "Didn''t he reincarnate for around 20 years? How can he possibly comprehend such a profound supreme true intent? Could it be that it was all a guise in his previous life?"


    These disciples were all stunned silly, not at all aware that Guo Xu''s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.


    "All shut your mouths for me!" Guo Xu clutched his chest and reprimanded furiously.


    These disciples became aware that they misspoke and involuntarily stuck out their tongues and no longer spoke.


    Praising Ji Qingyun in front of Eldest Senior Brother, wasn''t this slapping his face?


    But right at this time, the Spirit Hound Divine King suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Ji Qingyun �� seems to be breaking through!"


    Guo Xu could not help being alarmed when he heard and hurriedly looked over towards Ye Yuan there.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was wounded on many parts of his body. Quite a number of areas even oozed dark red fresh blood.


    But, his divine king domain radiated with a resplendent light and was actually even sharper compared to before!


    Those sword lights became stronger and stronger and also became sharper and sharper.


    For a moment, Ye Yuan''s divine king domain gave off a brilliant azure light. The energy of life and death rampaged willfully!


    Originally, Ye Yuan''s pseudo-divine king domain was only roughly 50 square feet.


    This level of divine king domain could not compare to even the lowest of Void Mystic powerhouses.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s divine king domain actually expanded to a hundred square feet already, expanded a full one-fold!


    Don''t look down on this one-fold square feet, to Void Mystic powerhouses, even expanding 10 feet was an exceptionally difficult matter.


    The size of a divine king domain could show the strength of a Void Mystic powerhouse to a certain extent.


    Guo Xu devoted to comprehending Dao, breaking through from the initial-most 100 square feet to 500 square feet these few years. The improvement could be said to be tremendous.


    It was just that his strength was not considered very strong among Void Mystic powerhouses.


    Divine king domain reaching a thousand-feet radius, this was a dividing crest for Void Mystic powerhouses.


    Reaching this sort of degree, one would roughly be an existence in the same class as the Extreme Sword Divine King.


    Reaching this step required two kinds of supreme true intents to both reach the level of rank-nine, and must be fused together perfectly!


    As for Ye Yuan, his concepts comprehension was actually even stronger compared to Guo Xu already.


    The reason why his divine king domain was only 50 feet radius was that his essence energy was completely insufficient to support such a large sword domain.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm did not break through. It was his concepts comprehension that broke through!


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan''s sword intent finally broke through to rank-nine.


    It was only a step away from the great circle of perfection!


    Rank-nine sword intent was an existence that many Void Mystic powerhouses were unable to attain.


    Ye Yuan only used 20 years and did it!


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The azure-colored sword lights were akin to a group of azure-colored wandering dragons, puncturing a giant ape in front of Ye Yuan full of wounds.


    Hence, this giant ape could not hang in there anymore and collapsed with a loud crash!


    These eight giant apes had excellent teamwork. One suddenly collapsing, their strength reduced greatly.


    With this, Ye Yuan brought along innumerable azure light, like a walking monster ravaging these giant apes wantonly.


    Ye Yuan''s control of essence energy was extremely exquisite. A prolonged battle was not an issue at all.


    Those external wounds were not worth mentioning at all to a Tier 9 fleshy body powerhouse like him.


    One giant ape after another collapsed with a loud bang. Ye Yuan''s speed of slaughtering also became increasingly faster.


    Finally, the last giant ape toppled at Ye Yuan''s feet.


    Ye Yuan actually annihilated eight peak divine king giant apes with his strength alone. This sort of battle achievement could simply be rated as a miracle!


    Those Purple-Gold Hall disciples were all stunned silly.


    They even thought that Ye Yuan was only making use of these eight giant apes to temper himself. In the end, he would still utilize a divine artifact to be able to slay these eight giant apes.


    But they never could have thought that Ye Yuan spent an entire day''s time, and forcefully exhausted these eight giant apes to death.


    The moment the giant apes died, Ye Yuan was also practically on the brink of giving out already.


    He fished out a medicinal pill and meditated on the spot to recover strength.


    He collected a large batch of spirit medicines at the Immemorial Medicine Garden. Refining a few Tier 9 medicinal pills was naturally nothing difficult.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at the Ye Yuan currently meditation and said in a solemn voice, "Ji Qingyun''s combat experience is extremely abundant. From start to end, he never gave those giant apes even a gleam of chance! Looks like during these 20 years, he experienced a lot! Guo Xu, actually, having such an existence isn''t a bad thing to you. He can make you strive harder after knowing the humiliation and make you not dare to slack off in the slightest! Whether a success or a failure, it depends on your own mindset."


    When Guo Xu heard that, his entire body involuntarily trembled.


    That turbid gaze gradually became resolved.


    Yeah, such a monstrous existence like Ji Qingyun was still cultivating by risking his life. What energy did he still have to be jealous here?


    As long as he cultivated continuously, there would come a day where he would be able to surpass him.


    Because Lord Cloudsky said before, Ji Qingyun was someone certain to die!


    Although Guo Xu did not understand why Ji Qingyun was dead for sure, he was certain that Lord Cloudsky absolutely would not lie to him.


    He slowly stood up, his body radiating a fierce fighting intent!


    "From today onwards, I, Guo Xu, will strive doubly hard! There will come a day where I''ll surpass Ji Qingyun!"

 1096 Fourth Level Dao Profound!

    Swish!


    An azure light flashed past. A snake-form desolate beast was immediately killed by Ye Yuan.


    This was the 65th desolate beast that Ye Yuan slew within 10 days!


    These 65 desolate beasts, all of them were super strong peak Divine Kings.


    Some desolate beasts even had some talent ability, making Ye Yuan suffer a huge loss too.


    But with this bout of tempering, Ye Yuan''s improvement speed was also extremely evident.


    The Holy City''s disciples watched Ye Yuan grow bit by bit with their own eyes. This sort of growth could virtually be visible to the naked eye!


    However, just 10 day''s time had passed.


    Even though they no longer dared to anyhow appraise in view of Eldest Senior Brother''s face, their astonishment towards Ye Yuan was not ambiguous at all.


    The breakthrough of Dao Profound Realm powerhouses, even just a tiny bit, was also calculated in years.


    But for Ye Yuan, it was calculated using days.


    These 10 days of tempering completely did not have elements of resorting to unorthodox means. It was bona fide battles after battles.


    Although battles could help martial artists to increase strength rapidly, such an increase was also too apparent, right?


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that Guo xu actually did not come to find trouble with him anymore.


    It seemed that after the giant apes, Guo Xu became wiser.


    And the eyes Guo Xu looked at him with also seemed to be different from in the past.


    But these had nothing to do with him. He had no spare time to care about this.


    To the current Ye Yuan, the most pressing matter at hand was to increase strength.


    That hint of undulation at the entrance area made Ye Yuan somewhat uneasy.


    He believed that Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm would not lie to him!


    Since that was the case, his strength being an iota stronger, it would naturally be an iota safer too.


    In a twinkle, half a month passed. Ye Yuan charged all the way into the third level. But at this time, he finally sensed that he was about to break through to the Fourth Level Dao Profound.


    Third Level Dao Profound and Fourth Level Dao Profound were similarly a threshold.


    By crossing it, Ye Yuan''s essence energy and emperor qi would have a substantial increase.


    The increase in essence energy would naturally also let his divine king domain be strengthened.


    After entering the third level, the desolate beasts here were evidently much stronger. Although they had yet to encounter Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts, the strength of the desolate beasts presently were extraordinary.


    Furthermore, quite a few desolate beasts showed up in packs and bands. The weakest also had first-rate Divine King''s strength.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of stopping.


    Once he recovered essence energy, he would immediately go over and kill desolate beasts.


    At the moment, he was currently fighting with a group of wolf-form desolate beasts!


    He was currently dealing with several hundred wolf-form desolate beasts by himself. The majority among them were first-rate Divine Kings, while peak Divine King Realm wolf kings also had no less than 20.


    This sort of cooperation between desolate beasts was much more tacit than even those eight giant apes.


    Ye Yuan was bold and unconstrained, being locked together in battle with the wolf pack.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all unbelievably shocked.


    "This guy really went crazy! Such crazed cultivation, how the hell did he survive?" Guo Xu said with a frown.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan never stopped before, spending it in the midst of slaughter all along.


    This intensity of cultivation, Guo Xu questioned himself and was certain that he absolutely could not hang in there.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King said, "To be able to obtain such startling accomplishments in 20 years, it was definitely not a fluke for Ji Qingyun! His talent need not be commented no more, but this tenacity is even harder to come by. Such high-intensity cultivation, even Void Mystic powerhouses will have their spirits crumble too."


    Suddenly, Guo Xu''s expression changed, and he said, "This guy is really a mad man! He �� is actually going to break through in the midst of the wolf pack!"


    In the sky, tribulation clouds rolled.


    He had already fought for a day and night with this wolf pack and killed over a hundred wolves.


    But just earlier, Ye Yuan finally detected that the turning point for breakthrough arrived.


    If it were others, they absolutely would not dare to break through at this time.


    Once he was pinned down by the wolf pack, Ye Yuan would definitely be smitten to death by the heavenly tribulation. One had to know that there were over 20 peak Divine King Realm wolf kings in the wolf pack.


    But Ye Yuan was bold stemming from his superb skills and did not care at all. He directly opened up his essence energy sea and allowed himself to break through freely.


    Heavenly tribulation was nigh. The movements of Ye Yuan''s hands were not the least bit slow, killing two wolves in a blink.


    Crack!


    A coarse lightning bolt streaked down, rumbling over towards Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan gave a long cry and actually did not dodge nor evade!


    These wolf kings'' intellects were exceedingly high and had long been waiting for this moment.


    Just as the heavenly tribulation was about to land on Ye Yuan, five peak Divine King wolf kings arrived with a howl, baring their sharp teeth, and biting down towards Ye Yuan''s calf.


    These few wolf kings'' teeth were no joke.


    If bitten by them, Ye Yuan''s leg would be thoroughly crippled.


    They eyed precisely this opportune moment to attack. Ye Yuan had to deal with the heavenly tribulation, it was totally impossible to deal with five wolf kings at the same time.


    "Heh, arrogant fellow! This time, played yourself to death, right? I want to see how you avoid this certain-kill strike!" Guo Xu said with a cold smile.


    Such an evenly matched battle and he actually still dared to be careless. He truly did not know how the word death was written.


    But right at this time, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    "Waited very long for you all! Limitless Life-Death Sword!"


    Ye Yuan gave a loud cry, his divine king domain instantly erupting. Five azure lights flowed out from inside the divine king domain bizarrely, heading straight for those five Divine Kings.


    As for that heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to give it a glance at all.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan forcefully suffered this bolt of lightning tribulation, while those five wolf kings did not manage to bite him at all due to receiving Ye Yuan''s attack. Instead, they were implicated by the heavenly tribulation because they were too close to Ye Yuan.


    This heavenly tribulation was virtually equivalent to the full power attack of a peak Divine King. The power could be imagined.


    The five wolf kings were directly left in ruins by the heavenly tribulation!


    While Ye Yuan stood up like he was completely fine. Patting the dust on his body, his figure suddenly vanished from where he was!


    Seeing this scene, Guo Xu''s eyes became wide-saucers.


    Could it be that this guy was a freak?


    Forcefully withstanding such a horrifying bolt of heavenly tribulation, he was actually completely fine?


    He did not know that for Ye Yuan, who transcended a Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, this kind of minor heavenly tribulation was completely no big deal anymore.


    Ye Yuan just extended a golden right claw at the last second just now and forcefully withstood it.


    Although this heavenly tribulation was equivalent to a peak divine king''s all-out attack, the effect was greatly discounted to Ye Yuan.


    Towards heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could virtually be said to be immune.


    The next instant, Ye Yuan was just like a walking heavenly tribulation. Areas that he passed through, miserable cries echoed. The wolf pack let out a series of wretched cries from time to time.


    When the minor heavenly tribulation passed, only wolf corpses that covered the land remained.


    While Ye Yuan broke through to Fourth Level Dao Profound successfully.


    "H-How can this be? How could someone �� transcend heavenly tribulation like this?" Guo Xu muttered to himself. He was struck dumb with amazement by this scene of Ye Yuan transcending tribulation.


    Not just him, those Purple-Gold Hall disciples were similarly staring blankly with their mouths agape.


    Those wolves wanted to ambush Ye Yuan but had a large group bombarded to death by Ye Yuan using heavenly tribulation.


    This outcome �� was too miraculous.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze. The originally almost guaranteed ambush made him somewhat worried at this time.


    Could it really kill Ye Yuan?

 1097 Sudden Impulse

    "Ji Qingyun, just what kind of spirit medicines do you want to find? Carry on heading down, and everybody will fall into danger!" Guo Xu said solemnly.


    Outside of the third level were all still some peak divine king desolate beasts. Heading further in and there would be some Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts.


    With these disciples'' strengths, they were naturally unable to go deeper in.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Do you feel that ordinary spirit medicines can enter my arcane sights? Aren''t you all here for training? Didn''t make you follow me either. How about you bring your junior brothers and continue the training. I''ll go find my spirit medicines. If I get killed by desolate beasts, you should be happy instead."


    "You!" Guo Xu could not help being tongue-tied.


    At this time, the Spirit Hound Divine King suddenly spoke up, "Guo Xu, you bring the junior brothers to train over here for a bit. I''ll follow Ji Qingyun to carry on advancing ahead."


    With this, Guo Xu became anxious, and hurriedly said, "How can this do?"


    The Spirit Hound Divine King gave him a glance and said, "The spirit medicines that Ji Qingyun wants, barring no accidents, should be in the fourth level. Upon entering the fourth level, I won''t be able to care about you anymore! Furthermore, you also saw his strength. If we were to really come to blows, you can''t gain any advantages either."


    Guo Xu''s expression could not help turning stiff. Only now did he notice the fact that made people embarrassed.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King''s meaning was already very clear: carry on following, and you would drag us down.


    Even if Ye Yuan had any funny ideas, not only would Guo Xu not be of help following by the side, but might become Ye Yuan''s breakthrough point instead.


    That �� would be awkward.


    "Then �� Be careful, Spirit Hound Divine King!" Guo Xu said dejectedly.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King patted his shoulders and said, "Relax. With me around, he can''t play any tricks."


    Guo Xu nodded his head. The Spirit Hound Divine King''s strength, he could naturally trust.


    It was just that he never thought that he would actually become a burden one day.


    ...


    Bidding the Purple-Gold Hall disciples farewell, Ye Yuan, one person, and one dog headed even deeper in.


    Going further into the depths, Ye Yuan naturally could not be like before, using desolate beasts to practice.


    Unless he used a divine artifact, otherwise, it was very hard to beat those Void Mystic Realm desolate beasts.


    Hence, along the way, Ye Yuan and Zhao Lingdong, the two people were both very low-profile, avoiding those powerful auras as best as they could.


    Being cautious along the way, a month''s time passed in a blink of an eye.


    The distance of separating with Guo Xu and the rest was roughly a hundred million miles already.


    In between this, there naturally could not dispense with encountering some powerful desolate beasts. It was basically all the Spirit Hound Divine King taking action to dispose of them.


    But this, also let Ye Yuan witness the Spirit Hound Divine King''s might.


    Ordinary Void Mystic desolate beasts were not a match for the Spirit Hound Divine King at all.


    Along the way, as long as they encountered Void Mystic desolate beasts, the Spirit Hound Divine King would cut down the other party with an overwhelming stance.


    However, from start to end, that Howling Sky Divine Hound never made a move before.


    Prior to reincarnating, Ye Yuan did not have contact with the Spirit Hound Divine King before. But regarding his might, he had still heard of it somewhat.


    But only today did Ye Yuan know that Zhao Lingdong was even more powerful than in the rumors.


    On this day, the two people finally arrived at the entrance area leading to the fourth level.


    Ahead was a small-scale transmission array.


    A small cluster of light pillars gave off a bright light.


    As they were walking, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped his footsteps.


    Zhao Lingdong asked doubtfully, "Why aren''t you walking anymore?"


    Ye Yuan said with a calm expression, "Let''s walk around in the third level some more. I need a 500 thousand year Jadeblood Azuresky. This place is the third level''s deepest area, it might have it. If we can find it, we can also reduce the amount of time that we stay at the fourth level. This way, the danger will naturally also be lesser."


    The Spirit Hound Divine King was able to rampage unrestrained in the third level. But reaching the fourth level, he would also have to tuck his tail between his legs and behave.


    The fourth level''s desolate beasts were too strong. With the Spirit Hound Divine King''s strength, the fourth level was also the limit.


    Concerning the fifth level, he absolutely would not enter the area.


    The Spirit Hound Divine King frowned and said, "500 thousand year Jadesky Azuresky, the chances of finding in the fourth level should be far greater than the third level. Don''t you forget, we only have half a year''s time. If we waste too much time at the third level, we won''t have time to find the spirit medicines at the back."


    Ye Yuan thought about it again and said with a nod, "What you said is correct, let''s go."


    The Spirit Hound Divine King''s heart eased up and nodded his head, and was about to advance forward.


    But Ye Yuan had just taken a step and actually stopped again.


    "En? What is it again?" The Spirit Hound Divine King looked at Ye Yuan and said doubtfully.


    Ye Yuan turned his head to look at the Spirit Hound Divine King and suddenly said with a smile, "Your heart �� it moved!"


    The Spirit Hound Divine King''s heart thumped. Could it be that Ye Yuan saw through something?


    Impossible!


    From start to end, he examined himself and was certain that he did not reveal any flaws.


    Zhao Lingdong frown and said, "What do you mean?"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a faint smile, "My meaning is �� you want to make me enter the fourth level very much?"


    The premonition in Zhao Lingdong''s heart became increasingly foreboding. But he did not give up.


    Another step forward and Ye Yuan would be caught in the trap of the Devil Ridge Three Freaks. As long as Ye Yuan was taken into the Mountain and River State Painting, there was absolutely no possibility of escaping with his life!


    Even if the son of heaven''s mandate, being shielded from heaven''s secrets, only had one road that led to hell too!


    Moreover, dealing with Ye Yuan would be five Void Mystic Realm experts.


    But it was just missing one step!


    His heart pounded, but Zhao Lingdong did not show even a hint on his face.


    His person was incomparably level-headed to begin with. Even if dreadful waves that billowed to the skies were stirred up in his heart, he would not reveal the least bit either.


    If he did not have this shrewdness, how could he dare to stay undercover under the leadership of the Holy City''s three titans for so many years?


    It was also precisely because of this confidence that Zhao Lingdong knew that he definitely did not reveal a flaw along the way.


    But how did Ye Yuan see through him?


    Could it be because of that trace of spatial undulation?


    That trace of spatial undulation, even he did not detect it. It could be said to be trivial to the extreme.


    Moreover, even if Ye Yuan had his suspicions, why would it be right at this time?


    Zhao Lingdong could not figure out after racking his brains!


    "What are you implying? You were the one who wanted to find spirit medicines, not me! If you''re not willing to enter the fourth level, then just don''t go in.," Zhao Lingdong said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Lingdong and said coolly, "Still refusing to give up hope? Since I said such words, I naturally have some assurance."


    With this, Zhao Lingdong utterly gave up.


    He knew that Ye Yuan really saw through something amiss.


    But, there were no flaws in front of him at all. If not for knowing in-advance, Zhao Lingdong absolutely would not know that this place was a trap.


    Then, how in the world did Ye Yuan perceive it?


    Zhao Lingdong''s brows furrowed. Faint killing intent locked onto Ye Yuan, and he said in a deep voice, "I examined myself and am sure that I didn''t reveal any flaws at all. How did you see through?"


    Ye Yuan did not answer his question. Taking a look at the transmission array in the distance, he said with a smile, "Like naturally formed, without any flaws in the slightest! If my surmises are right, this should be the legendary Mountain and River State Painting, right?"


    Zhao Lingdong''s gaze turned sharp. He did not think that Ye Yuan could actually even make this out!


    This brat was simply too freakish!


    Ye Yuan turned to Zhao Lingdong again and said with a smile, "You indeed didn''t have flaws. But you should know what''s ''Sudden Impulse,'' right?"

 1098 Absolute Kill

    Hearing ''Sudden Impulse'' these two words, Zhao Lingdong''s expression changed greatly.


    "You �� You actually comprehended Sudden Impulse!"


    "When fighting with those eight giant apes, I already comprehended it," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    The breakthrough of heart realm could let martial artists give birth to some very mysterious skills.


    Such as merging into heaven and earth, such as �� Sudden Impulse.


    Sudden Impulse was actually a kind of sense to chase after good fortune and avoid disaster.


    This sort of sense, many powerful martial artists all had it. But that sense was just the very, very shallow kind.


    Furthermore, it was effective and ineffective at times, unable to use it as a reference at all.


    But Sudden Impulse could be said to be the superior type of this kind of sense. Before encountering danger, one would be able to sense it in advance, and pursue good fortune and avoid disaster from there.


    Facing off against the eight giant apes the last time, Ye Yuan''s heart realm already quietly broke through once more. This Sudden Impulse technique was also born in response to the proper time and conditions.


    "However, you indeed concealed very well. Only all the way until a moment ago, did a feeling well up in my heart. It seems like taking another step forward, there will be absolutely no chance of survival," Ye Yuan said unhurriedly.


    Sudden Impulse was not invincible. It was just a fleeting and ephemeral kind of sense. Except, this kind of sensation was more accurate and stronger compared to ordinary martial artists, that was all.


    Zhao Lingdong''s scheming was extremely deep and did not reveal the slightest hint of a flaw at all, and also did not have even a trace of killing intent towards Ye Yuan before.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not sense the danger previously.


    "Then why did you come to suspect me?" Zhao Lingdong said rather gloomily.


    "I said before, your heart moved. Although it was just that tiny bit, under this sort of crisis, it''s exceptionally strong," Ye Yuan said.


    Zhao Lingdong was thoroughly defeated.


    He concealed extremely well along the way. Only just now, when Ye Yuan was about to step into the enchantment set up by the Mountain and River State Painting, his breathing hastened, leaving a tiny trace.


    But it was this tiny trace that betrayed him.


    The formidable aspect of Sudden Impulse lay in here.


    Of course, Sudden Impulse was not matchless.


    Just like this time, although he comprehended Sudden Impulse, it was still incomparably dangerous.


    Because the Devil Ridge Three Freaks showed themselves!


    A layer of ripple oscillated in the space. Three black silhouettes emerged.


    "Truly formidable. Didn''t think that the Mountain and River State Painting, this kind of divine artifact, actually had no way of drawing you in! But �� you''re still hard pressed to escape death today!" said the Devil Ridge Three Freaks''s boss, Mo Datong.


    Seeing the Devil Ridge Three Freaks, Ye Yuan''s heart sunk.


    These three people were all Void Mystic Realm experts.


    This was to say that there were actually five Void Mystic powerhouses who came to besiege him.


    Furthermore, the things held in the Devil Ridge Three Freaks'' hands, were clearly all divine artifacts!


    Five great Void Mystic powerhouse, three great divine artifacts, such a line-up could simply be rated as extravagant!


    And such a line-up was actually just in order to deal with a measly little Fourth Level Dao Profound!


    "You''re all members of the fiend race?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Such extravagance, probably only that power-hungry fiend race, always causing trouble from the shadows, could take out these divine artifacts.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was very curious about what kind of method the fiend race used to make these people look virtually identical with humans. Even the slightest hint of fiendish energy was not revealed.


    It looked like the fiend race really racked their brains empty for the sake of today''s set-up.


    Mo Datong said, "That''s right! Lord Divine Master ordered the three of us to come over and take your life! Once the son of heaven''s mandate dies, the human race will be of no more threat!"


    Hearing ''son of heaven''s mandate,'' Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too. But he felt relieved very quickly.


    He actually ruined the fiend race''s plans several times through sheer dumb luck.


    Furthermore, Jia Lan knew that the Soul Suppressing Pearl and Vast Heaven Stele were in his hands. Then guessing that the son of heaven''s mandate was him would also be nothing strange.


    What Ye Yuan did not know was that the fiend race already knew that he was the son of heaven''s mandate before he was born!


    The Medicine King Hall''s accident was precisely because he was the son of heaven''s mandate!


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth and said with a look of despair, "Fine then. Five great Void Mystic powerhouses coming to besiege me, a measly little Fourth Level Dao Profound. It''s also truly thinking highly enough of me. Since I''m dead for sure, can you tell me just who in the world is controlling all this behind the scenes or not?


    "Ji Qingyun, stop making futile efforts! Your trifling little tricks, better don''t show it off in front of this lord! Datong, Ertong, Santong, don''t talk nonsense with him anymore. We''ve already lost the initiative. We definitely can''t give him any bit of chance. Don''t you all forget, if we can''t kill him, we''d all have to die! Attack together and kill him!" Zhao Lingdong said with a cold yell.


    He became incomparably cold and fierce at this time, decisive in going for the kill, not giving Ye Yuan any chance at all.


    The expressions of the Devil Ridge Three Freaks became fearful when they heard that. Ye Yuan''s words really made them have some thoughts about mocking Ye Yuan.


    The three of them wielded divine artifacts. Furthermore, their cultivation realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s. They did not put Ye Yuan in their sights at al.


    Ye Yuan''s words earlier really made them give rise to feelings of belittlement.


    Five Void Mystics against a Fourth Level Dao Profound, it was absolutely a certain kill scenario.


    But Zhao Lingdong''s words were akin to the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery, shocking them awake.


    At this moment, the three of them had not made a move yet, but Zhao Lingdong''s Howling Sky Divine Hound moved first.


    In that instant, Ye Yuan felt his neck turn cold. Howlsky''s incomparably sharp teeth already reached his neck!


    All of this was just a matter of the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Even Ye Yuan did not react to it.


    This was still Ye Yuan''s first time seeing the Howling Sky Divine Hound taking action. His opening move was a lethal blow!


    Howlsky''s speed was unimaginably fast. Even those Devil Ridge Three Freaks did not react to it either.


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted, his figure instantly vanishing from where he was, fleeing into the void.


    Yet, Howlsky was too near to him. Although Ye Yuan''s actions were fast, it was still unable to shake off Howlsky.


    Whoosh ��


    Sharp dog claws pierced right through the void, swiping toward Ye Yuan''s throat!


    The Howling Sky Divine Hound was actually overwhelmingly powerful!


    While at this time, the Devil Ridge Three Freaks and Zhao Lingdong moved as well.


    Four people joined hands, directly sealing this stretch of space off, not giving Ye Yuan the slightest opportunity to escape at all.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly fled out of the void, narrowly avoiding that lethal scratch.


    Yet, one wave had yet to subside, but another wave rose. He had just fled the void when an incomparably vast and mighty spatial power wanted to envelop him inside in an instant!


    The Mountain and River State Painting!


    If taken in by the Mountain and River State Painting, there was absolutely no chance of survival!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan immediately took out the Sacred Dragon Token, instantly drawing 10% of his blood essence.


    Rumble!


    The space in front of Ye Yuan instantly exploded, sending his entire person flying out.


    The Devil Ridge Three Freaks did not give him any opportunity to catch his breath. Right at the second he flew out, the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s killing move already arrived!


    The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s power was more than several times fiercer in Mo Ertong''s hands.


    Ye Yuan gave a loud cry, put away the Sacred Dragon Token, and took out the Evil Extermination Sword. His divine king domain instantly activated.


    Rumble!


    Another frontal clash. Ye Yuan immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood in the air.


    Right then, the third divine artifact arrived too!


    Under the two attacks, Ye Yuan already suffered severe injuries.


    This attack, he was no longer able to resist it.Their names mean one, two, three

 1099 Moonlight Mirage!

    "Hahaha, go to hell!"


    Mo Santong wielded a short blade in his hand, bringing along a terrifying energy undulation, and chopping towards Ye Yuan.


    Suffering two tremendous impacts in a row, Ye Yuan, this Fourth Level Dao Profound, already sustained severe injuries.


    This blow was a certain kill attack!


    Furthermore, in order to make provisions for contingencies, Zhao Lingdong also rushed over instantly!


    Charging over together with him, was even the swift to the extreme Howling Sky Divine Hound!


    Three great powerhouses'' all-out attacks, they completely did not give Ye Yuan the slightest opportunity to catch his breath.


    This kind of successive attacks, even Void Mystic powerhouses were dead without a doubt too, let alone a puny little Fourth Level Dao Profound.


    But right at this time, a hint of a faint smile flickered across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    What astonished Mo Santong and Zhao Lingdong, was that the corners of Ye Yuan''s eyes, were actually bleeding.


    Two lines of blood tears flowed down along the corners of Ye Yuan''s eyes as if crying.


    But the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth was clearly smiling.


    Smiling mockingly!


    Zhao Lingdong''s heart thumped, instantly feeling that it was not good.


    But the movements of his hands were not the slightest bit slow, smacking a palm viciously onto Ye Yuan''s chest.


    At the same time, Mo Santong''s divine artifact short blade also chopped onto Ye Yuan''s body.


    "Purhk!"


    The fresh blood in Ye Yuan''s mouth sprayed out like a fountain, making it a horrifyingly ghastly sight.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan fell to the ground heavily and no longer had any movements.


    Looking at the thoroughly dead Ye Yuan, the four people finally heave a sigh in relief.


    "Heh heh, the son of heaven''s mandate died just like that. This time, the human race no longer has anything to count on!" Mo Datong said.


    "I was wondering how powerful the son of heaven''s mandate was. It''s also merely like this! Without screening heaven''s secrets, didn''t he still kick the bucket?" Mo Datong said with a disdainful look.


    "Before dying just now, he was still smiling at me. I thought that he had some way of escape, scared me to death. Luckily, he''s thoroughly dead!" Mo Santong said.


    "Hahaha, number three, you''re too cowardly! Our three great divine artifact attacking, how could he have a chance to survive? Forget about a measly little Fourth Level Dao Profound, even Void Mystic Realm martial artists will be dead for sure too!" Mo Ertong said with a big laugh.


    Mo Santong also nodded his head when he heard that and said, "But this boy was indeed heaven-defying. Just Fourth Level Dao Profound and he was actually able to comprehend a divine king domain. If we allow him to carry on developing unchecked, he''d really be my fiend race''s great enemy! No wonder Lord Divine Master did not stint to deploy three great divine artifacts, and also had to eradicate this boy."


    While the Devil Ridge Three Freaks were talking on this side, Zhao Lingdong had his brows knitted all along at one side and did not speak.


    He looked at Ye Yuan''s corpse as if absorbed in thought.


    Mo Datong noticed his anomaly and could not help asking, "Zhao Lingdong, what''s wrong?"


    Zhao Lingdong did not answer him. He said to Howlsky, "Howlsky, go take a look at whether he''s thoroughly dead."


    Howlsky immediately arrived beside Ye Yuan''s corpse with a whoosh. Extending a dog paw, he started fiddling with Ye Yuan''s corpse.


    The Devil Ridge Three Freaks looked at this scene curiously, uncertain about what Zhao Lingdong was playing at.


    Fiddling for a bit, Howlsky returned to Zhao Lingdong''s side with a flash and barked a few times.


    After that, Zhao Lingdong''s brows knitted together even more tightly.


    "Zhao Lingdong, what in the world did you discover, speak!" Mo Ertong could not refrain from asking.


    Zhao Lingdong shook his head and said, "I keep feeling that something is not quite right! But Howlsky went over and didn''t discover anything either. This Ji Qingyun is indeed completely dead!"


    The three people were previously made all fidgety and jumpy by Zhao Lingdong. Upon hearing that at this time, they finally let out a sigh in relief.


    "Sigh! I thought you discovered something! Zhao Lingdong, you wouldn''t be making a fool out of the three of us brothers, right?" Mo Datong said unhappily.


    Although Zhao Lingdong''s strength was that little bit stronger compared to them, the three of them joining hands, Zhao Lingdong was absolutely not a match,


    If not for Lord Divine Master''s order to listen to Zhao Lingdong''s arrangements on this trip, they would have long fallen out.


    Zhao Lingdong beat around the bush for half the day. In the end, there wasn''t even anything. What was this if not making a fool out of them?


    Zhao Lingdong gave Mo Datong a glance, but asked Mo Santong, "Santong, did you see Ye Yuan''s eyes bleeding just now?"


    Mo Santong froze and said with a nod, "That''s right! I saw that his eyes seemed to be bleeding just now! Furthermore, he even gave me a strange smile, smiling until I had goosebumps break out all over."


    Zhao Lingdong''s brows knitted. Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "I keep feeling that we killed Ye Yuan too easily! How can the son of heaven''s mandate possibly be killed so easily?"


    Mo Datong frowned and said, "Easy? Can''t say it like that either, right? The Mountain and River State Painting that we set up was even seen through by him. Furthermore, to kill him, the few of us also exerted all of our strengths before barely managing to succeed."


    Zhao Lingdong shook his head and said, "It appears that the few of our strengths are indeed much stronger than him. But I keep feeling that Ji Qingyun''s trumps cards shouldn''t be just two divine artifacts! Furthermore, his eyes bled at the final juncture, plus his expression. This point is too suspicious."


    Zhao Lingdong''s entire body trembled, suddenly feeling that he had grasped something. But, he could not think of it for a moment either.


    "Eyes! Eyes! What kind of tricks would he have that are related to the eyes?" The composed Zhao Lingdong suddenly became somewhat anxious and fretful.


    ...


    At the fourth level, a white silhouette walked out from inside the transmission array.


    On the white garment, it was already soaked by fresh blood, appearing incomparably wretched.


    "Screw you, Ye Yuan! Moonlight Mirage is a divine rank illusionary art. Although there is divine essence, if I don''t recuperate for a year or so, there''s absolutely no way to recover!" Inside the sea of consciousness, a voice suddenly shrieked.


    This white silhouette was precisely Ye Yuan, who escaped into the fourth level from the third level!


    In that instant, alarm bells sounded in his heart. Ye Yuan was already planning how to escape.


    Inside his sea of consciousness, Ye Yuan viciously threatened the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Only then did it make him cast the divine rank illusionary art, Moonlight Mirage!


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil utilized Ye Yuan''s divine essence to cast a terrifying divine rank illusionary art.


    Although it did not reach the power of a true divine rank illusionary art, it also made Zhao Lingdong and the rest fall into an illusionary realm.


    Except, casting this illusionary art, to the current Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, the expenditure was incomparably enormous, virtually draining his primordial spirit.


    His primordial spirit became much weaker all at once.


    This was also why blood tears suddenly flowed out from Ye Yuan''s eyes at the final juncture.


    This sort of situation was about the same as Ye Yuan using the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s two eyes were tightly shut, incomparably agonizing, completely unable to see things anymore.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil required a period of preparation time to cast Moonlight Mirage. Hence, Ye Yuan had been thinking of ways to deal with Zhao Lingdong all along.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not think that Zhao Lingdong was so vigilant. He did not give him sufficient time at all.


    Two great Void Mystic powerhouses wielding divine artifacts in their hands, Ye Yuan still suffered serious injuries by forcefully clashing twice with them.


    Luckily, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil finally finished casting at the last second. Only then did Ye Yuan take the chance to escape.


    "Enough crap! If I die, you likewise can''t survive! If you were to land in the hands of the fiend race, heh heh ��" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.The skill is actually some idiom: flowers in a mirror and the moon''s reflection in the water.

 1100 Repeating a Same Old Trick

    Ye Yuan''s divine sense spread out. Under Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm, the surrounding situation was taken in at one glance.


    Briefly stopping for a moment, Ye Yuan unleashed his movement technique and sped in a direction rapidly.


    He discovered a cave not far away.


    Ye Yuan''s current condition was very dreadful, and he needed to find a safe place to rest and rehabilitate for a moment.


    "Ye Yuan, you damn fellow! You''re a bloodsucker! When you used this lord, you force this lord. When you don''t use, you kick this lord to one side! Arhh! Urghh, how did I board your pirate ship!"


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil howled.


    Toward this ancient-class primordial spirit, Ye Yuan''s guard was still very high.


    Along the way, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil yelled out unceasingly inside his sea of consciousness, appearing very aggrieved.


    "Shut your mouth for me!" entering the cave, Ye Yuan barked coldly.


    Sensing Ye Yuan''s cold killing intent, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil realized that Ye Yuan was really enraged and immediately shut his mouth and did not speak.


    "How long can your Moonlight Mirage be maintained?" Ye Yuan asked coldly.


    If those few people did not have divine artifacts in their possession, they absolutely could not escape the Moonlight Mirage within a short time.


    But the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror was the jinx of illusionary arts. Once they realized that they had fallen into an illusion, the Moonlight Mirage could not trap them for very long at all.


    This was also the reason why Ye Yuan fled toward the fourth level and not escape toward the second level.


    Escaping upward was definitely a one-way ticket to hell.


    While the fifth level, these people absolutely did not dare to enter!


    It was just that in Ye Yuan''s current state, he could not escape to the fifth level at all, and would surely be caught up by them.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil said brimming with confidence, "This lord''s Moonlight Mirage is a divine rank illusionary art, silent and noiseless. Those amateurs got to at least be trapped inside for 10 days to half a month!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold: "I have no time to listen to you talk nonsense here. Keep bragging, and I''ll immediately exterminate you!"


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil immediately switched to a smiling face and said, "H-Haha, Younger Brother, calm your anger, calm your anger. That �� That, they have the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, I reckon that at most, it''s also just one day''s time."


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said solemnly, "Now, shut your mouth up for me!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took out three medicinal pills and started to treat his injuries.


    Ever since obtaining the Sacred Dragon Token, Ye Yuan would basically have a running stock of blood essence replenishing medicinal pills.


    Fortunately, he only lost 10% blood essence. Replenishing was not too troublesome.


    What was truly troublesome was that he borrowed the power of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to cast Moonlight Mirage. This burden on his body was too great.


    With only a day''s time, Ye Yuan must seize every second.


    The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror was able to shuttle through space. Once they broke free, they would catch up very quickly.


    With the medicinal pill entering his abdomen, Ye Yuan''s blood essence was replenished bit by bit, while his body was also gradually recovering.


    ...


    "Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil! That brat must have acquired the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil! He must have obtained the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil when he entered the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm! Damn it, we fell into an illusion!"


    Zhao Lingdong''s entire body suddenly trembled, finally grasping that trace of inspiration.


    "What? We fell into an illusion? Are you joking, Zhao Lingdong? Ordinary illusions completely cannot conceal their traces in front of the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror!" Mo Ertong said disdainfully.


    Zhao Lingdong said coldly, "Then what if it isn''t an ordinary illusionary realm? Don''t you guys forget! The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was once tethered to a Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Zhao Lingdong''s words made the Devil Ridge Three Freaks feel alarmed inwardly.


    Their expressions also became solemn. If it was really a divine rank illusionary art, they might really be trapped inside an illusionary realm.


    "What are you still in a daze for? Ertong, use the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror to break the illusionary art! Remember, use divine essence!" Zhao Lingdong reminded him.


    Mo Ertong was startled and hurriedly injected divine essence inside the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror. The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror immediately gave off waves of light.


    Waves of ripples spread out in the surrounding space with the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror as the center.


    Sensing the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s change, Mo Ertong was startled inwardly.


    They really got hit by an illusionary spell!


    This illusionary art was extraordinary. They all, this large group of Void Mystic powerhouses, actually did not see through a tiny bit!


    Clearly, Zhao Lingdong did not perceive it either. He guessed it through some fleeting clues.


    Mo Ertong was endlessly shocked. If they did not bring the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror this time, it was really uncertain how long they would have to be trapped inside this illusionary realm.


    Now, he finally knew how hard the son of heaven''s mandate was to tangle with.


    The belittling towards Ye Yuan previously was completely swept away clean.


    Not just him, the others were similarly incredibly shocked.


    Ye Yuan was too scary to actually toy with them, five great Void Mystic powerhouses, in the palm of his hand!


    No wonder Lord Divine Master regarded Ye Yuan so highly, making them bring three great divine artifacts over.


    A day later, Mo Ertong finally broke apart the illusionary realm with help from the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    Looking on the ground again, where was there Ye Yuan''s corpse?


    "Quickly give chase! Fortunately, Zhao Lingdong''s reaction was fast. The time we were trapped was also not very long. He shouldn''t have escaped to the second level yet!" Mo Datong said.


    The other two people nodded their heads and voiced their assent. They were just about to move out to pursue him but was stopped by Zhao Lingdong.


    "Wait a minute!"


    "What is it?" The three people froze.


    "I feel that he shouldn''t have escaped to the second level!" Zhao Lingdong said.


    The three people were stunned again: "Not escaping to the second level, could it be that he escaped to the fourth level still? Being trapped by us inside, he''ll be dead for sure!"


    Zhao Lingdong shook his head and said, "He knows that we have the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror. Escaping to the second level, he absolutely can''t escape! If I were Ji Qingyun, I''d definitely cut off all escape routes to rise up in the face of a desperate situation, and escape downwards! As long as he escapes to the fifth level, we definitely won''t dare to go down."


    If it were before, the Devil Ridge Three Freaks would definitely be very disdainful towards Zhao Lingdong''s words.


    But now, they were utterly convinced by Zhao Lingdong.


    It was not without reason that Lord Divine Master made him listen to Zhao Lingdong.


    If not for Zhao Lingdong, who knew how much time they would have to be trapped by the illusionary art. At that time, the flowers would have really turned yellow.


    "Fine, I''ll listen to you! Go, down to the fourth level!" Mo Datong said.


    "Everybody be more careful. This boy is very bizarre and hasn''t pulled out god knows how many trump cards yet. Reaching the fourth level, we mustn''t drop our guard!" Zhao Lingdong exhorted.


    ...


    A light flashed, Zhao Lingdong''s figure appeared at the fourth level.


    But his brows knitted tightly together. Because the Devil Ridge Three Freaks disappeared!


    They clearly entered through the transmission array together. Why was everyone gone the moment they came out?


    Not just the Devil Ridge Three Freaks, even the Howling Sky Divine Hound that had been following him all along also vanished without a trace.


    Zhao Lingdong instantly felt that things were not right!


    "Could it be an illusionary art again?"


    Mo Ertong had the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in his hands, what was the use of repeating the same old trick?


    Furthermore, this illusionary realm was clearly not as powerful as before.


    But Zhao Lingdong knew that Ye Yuan definitely would not shoot at a non-existent target.


    This sort of futile work, he definitely would not do it.


    Then what on earth was Ye Yuan planning to do by playing this?


    Suddenly, Zhao Lingdong''s expression changed, and he said, "Shit! The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in Mo Ertong''s hands is the greatest threat to him! He definitely wants to deal with Mo Ertong! No way, I absolutely can''t let him prevail!"

 1101 Counter-Kill!

    What Zhao Lingdong was thinking was right. Ye Yuan was planning precisely that!


    Apart from Mo Ertong, the others had all fallen into an illusionary realm. There was completely no way of breaking free within a short time.


    Only Mo Ertong was currently receiving Ye Yuan''s special treatment at this time.


    When at the third level, Ye Yuan was a prey and had no time to respond at all.


    Being able to unleash Moonlight Mirage was already his limit.


    But now, Ye Yuan had adequate time to deal with it leisurely.


    The Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation was the big meal that he prepared for Mo Ertong!


    When Mo Ertong discovered that the others were all gone, he realized very quickly that he had fallen into an illusionary realm again.


    Compared to Moonlight Mirage, the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation was still much lousier in terms of illusionary realms.


    However, the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation was not just an illusionary realm. For Ye Yuan to dare to lay down this formation, he naturally had a killing move to deal with Mo Ertong.


    Falling into the illusionary realm, Mo Ertong''s first reaction was to deploy the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    But right at this time, countless azure sword lights suddenly appeared from the void.


    "Heh, do you really take your Grandpa Er to be easily bullied? Divine king domain, activate!"


    Mo Ertong was a Void Mystic powerhouse at any rate. How could he be frightened by mere sword lights?


    The moment his divine king domain opened up, it was impregnable!


    Although the azure sword lights were incomparably fierce and sharp, who asked Mo Ertong''s cultivation realm to be too high? It could not break open his divine king domain at all.


    Mo Ertong was extremely pleased with himself when he saw the situation and said with a loud laugh, "Haha! Brat, your concepts comprehension is indeed not bad, but dealing with your Second Grandpa Mo, it''s still too tender! Just you wait, Second Grandpa will break this illusionary realm right away. Then I''ll see where you will run to!"


    Done talking, Mo Ertong completely ignored those sword lights, and immediately mustered up the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, planning on getting rid of the illusionary realm.


    But right at this time, Mo Ertong felt an extreme sense of peril well up in his heart.


    He raised his head and discovered that above the void, countless sword lights had already condensed since no idea when.


    Sword lights hanging high in the air, this was not the most important. Most importantly, these sword lights were too terrifying. They were on a completely different level from those previously.


    Ye Yuan hid inside the void, looking at Mo Ertong and smiling coldly incessantly.


    "Do you really think that this young master will allow you all to knead me as you please? With the Evil Extermination Sword, the increase in the power of the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation isn''t just a little bit! Even He Dajiang succumbed inside this array formation, let alone even you! Limitless Life-Death Sword, kill for me!"


    Ye Yuan''s icy cold voice echoed out from inside the void, akin to a god overlooking all life, controlling the life and death of the mortal world.


    Following his word of command, the countless sword lights above the ninth heaven charged towards Mo Ertong, bringing along the might of heaven and earth.


    Seeing this scene, Mo Ertong''s expression turned deathly white like paper. How could he still care about breaking the formation?


    He poured divine essence frenziedly into the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror without another word.


    "Spirithorn Shattering Mirror! Break for me!"


    Mo Ertong gave a loud cry. The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror emitted a brilliant light. Incomparably swift and fierce light emitted out of the surface of the mirror, and welcomed those sword lights!


    It looked like the two terrifying attacks were about to collide together.


    "Heh, your Second Grandpa Mo has a divine artifact in my hands. So what even if this array formation was any more powerful?"


    He was very confident in the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s offensive power. The attack that he released absolutely did pale in comparison to those horrifying sword lights.


    But very soon, his pupils constricted.


    The two surges of terrifying energy actually vanished right in front of him just like this.


    They vanished without any traces!


    This bizarre scene made all the hairs on his body stand on its end.


    Those disappeared sword lights actually passed right through the void and appeared before his eyes once again.


    "Fierce Heaven Blade Domain, break for me!"


    Mo Ertong''s reaction could not be said to not be quick. Countless blade lights emitted from his divine king domain and meshed together with the sword lights dispatched by the grand array, giving off a terrifying energy undulation.


    Except, the Limitless Life-Death Sword that went through the Evil Extermination Sword and Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation''s dual-augmentation, the power was truly unbelievably terrifying.


    Mo Ertong''s Fierce Heaven Blade Domain still could not block the impact of these sword lights. He was immediately beaten to severe injuries and vomited blood.


    However �� it was not over yet!


    That vanished Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s attack appeared behind him bizarrely at this time.


    "NO!"


    Mo Ertong let out a shrill and wretched cry.


    Rumble!


    The Spirithorn Shattering Mirror''s attack landed on Mo Ertong solidly.


    Mo Ertong''s corpse drooped down weakly.


    Bang!


    Spirithorn Shattering Mirror also fell to the ground following that.


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted, and he casually fired out a ray of sword light.


    Not out of Ye Yuan''s expectations, the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror escaped through the void with a whoosh.


    He knew that there was an extremely powerful restriction on the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror. But he could not let the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror fall into the hands of the rest.


    As long as the owner of the mirror took it back, Ye Yuan''s goal was achieved.


    Against these four people and one dog, what Ye Yuan was most apprehensive of was the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror.


    This divine artifact was too powerful. Not only could it shuttle through the void, it even had the ability to shatter illusions. With it around, Ye Yuan was practically stark naked.


    Hence, that was why he painstakingly set up this killing trap. It was in order to kill Mo Ertong and scare away the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror!


    This attack just now already expended all of the grand array''s essence energy. The Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation already could not maintain for much longer.


    Killing Mo Ertong, Ye Yuan''s expenditure was immense too.


    His figure swayed and directly merged into heaven and earth.


    Around 15 minutes later, the grand array dissipated with a loud bang.


    Mo Datong and the rest only felt a blur before their eyes, and they broke out from inside the illusionary realm.


    But the scene before their eyes made their eyes turn bloodshot!


    On Mo Ertong''s body, there was not a piece of unscathed area, his death state extremely tragic.


    "Number two!"


    "Second Brother!"


    Mo Datong arrived beside Mo Ertong with a flash and picked up his corpse, his entire person falling into madness.


    "ARHH! JI QINGYUN, I''M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" Mo Datong roared.


    The three of them brothers were originally humans. Furthermore, they were born from the same mother. Right from birth, they were abducted away by the Divine Master, who planted a fiend seal on them, controlling them.


    But their growing up was together.


    In this 1000 years, they improved extremely quickly under the Divine Master''s sanguinary grooming, carving out a path of survival from within a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and even became powerful Void Mystic powerhouses.


    All along, the three of them brothers advanced and withdrew together, and they had never failed before.


    They did not think that today, one was actually dead by Ye Yuan''s hands. How could they not be enraged?


    "Ji Qingyun, I want you to die a horrible death!" Mo Santong gripped the divine artifact short blade in his hand even tighter. He sword to definitely kill Ji Qingyun personally.


    Zhao Lingdong was livid with rage by the side. He never thought that Ye Yuan actually really dared to thrust a spear to the back!


    Furthermore, he actually succeeded!


    Mo Ertong who possessed the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, even he was not a match either.


    Ye Yuan actually killed him!


    This brat was bold, meticulous, vicious, with numerous trump cards. He was truly incomparably troublesome.


    He never would have thought that the originally 100% certain bait-kill trap actually played out to become like this currently!


    "He still hasn''t gone far away. I''ll go and chase after right now. You guys keep up, absolutely can''t let him escape!"


    Zhao Lingdong threw down this sentence and disappeared into the distance along with the Howling Sky Divine Hound.

 1102 Interlinked Stratagem!

    "Howlsky, chase!"


    Zhao Lingdong gave a cold yell. A pair of wings actually grew out of the Howling Sky Divine Hound''s two sides!


    Whoosh!


    Howlsky turned into a stream of flowing light and actually directly shook Zhao Lingdong off.


    Ye Yuan only left for 15 minutes first. This bit of time was not enough to shake Zhao Lingdong, this Void Mystic powerhouse, off.


    Zhao Lingdong''s perception locked onto Ye Yuan from far away, not giving him the chance to escape.


    Howlsky''s current speed was probably not much slower compared to merging into heaven and earth too.


    The distance between him and Ye Yuan was also currently shrinking with incredible speed.


    Zhao Lingdong''s footsteps did not slow down, but he said hatefully, "Just how many trumps cards does this brat still have? That grand array earlier was actually able to kill Ertong. Just what in the world happened inside?"


    Zhao Lingdong could not figure out after racking his brains!


    Mo Ertong clearly had the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror in his hands. But why did he not break the formation?


    Even if he did not break the formation, what kind of attack could kill Mo Ertong who possessed a divine artifact?


    Zhao Lingdong felt that it was bizarre to the extreme.


    Three figures, chasing each other in the fourth level''s space, ran a million miles out very soon.


    Howlsky and Ye Yuan''s speed became closer and closer. He was virtually able to see Ye Yuan''s back view already.


    Howlsky''s eyes suddenly became focused, his figure vanishing instantly.


    At this instant, his speed skyrocketed several times and arrived behind Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    Whoosh ��


    In midair, a streak of cold light flashed past.


    Sharp fangs and claws passed right through the chest.


    However, Howlsky did not feel that pleasure of penetrating through flesh and blood.


    With a rumble, ''Ye Yuan'' turned into a mass of pale-yellow flames, and dissipated into nothing.


    All the fur on Howlsky''s body stood up. A sense of danger assaulted his heart.


    In the void, an incomparably swift and fierce sword light pierced out, and directly slashed towards Howlsky''s dog head.


    This slash was too close, the speed was simply swift to the extreme!


    "Be careful, Howlsky!"


    When Zhao Lingdong who had just rushed over saw this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot.


    Right at the critical moment, Howlsky urged his speed to the limits and instantly vanished from where he stood.


    However, it was still half a beat too slow!


    The azure light slashed right onto the wings that Howlsky grew out, forcefully chopping off the wings on his right side!


    "Awoo!"


    Howlsky gave off a miserable cry and arrived beside Zhao Lingdong with a flash.


    A figure slowly walked out from within the void and said with a sigh, "What a shame �� Just a little more, and I can chop off this dog head."


    Who was this figure, if not Ye Yuan?


    It was just that the Ye Yuan at this time already changed into a long azure robe and was no longer wearing the white garment previously.


    "Awoo �� awoo �� awoo ��"


    Howlsky gave off a series of tragic cries. It was also unknown whether was he wailing, or complaining about Ye Yuan''s shameless conduct.


    Probably, only Zhao Lingdong could understand.


    That wing of Howlsky''s was already utterly chopped off by Ye Yuan, blood cascading down without stopping.


    Although this sword did not claim Howlsky''s life, it made him suffer a great loss in vitality too.


    Zhao Lingdong stared fixedly at Ye Yuan. If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have already died God knows how many times right now.


    The feelings between him and Howlsky had long crossed the boundary of master and servant. They were like kin.


    Howlsky suffering such a big loss, how could he not be furious?


    Only now did he understand that this was completely an interlinked stratagem!


    Ye Yuan made that avatar body wore that white-colored long robes and pretend to escape, while he concealed himself within the void here, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack!


    Actually, Ye Yuan''s flying speed was far faster than they imagined!


    Separating from the grand array, Ye Yuan unleashed merging into heaven and earth to the limits, and threw down an avatar body on the way, feigning an appearance of essence energy being exhausted and fleeing.


    When Ye Yuan separated from the grand array, he had long calculated the time. That instant when the grand array fell apart, Ye Yuan immediately escaped into the void.


    The moment Zhao Lingdong and the Howling Sky Divine Hound came out, they discovered Ye Yuan''s avatar body right away, and thought that that was Ye Yuan.


    But this first impression was deadly.


    Their perception locked onto the avatar body firmly and totally would not think that Ye Yuan was actually concealed within the void.


    Especially Howlsky, he did not rely on just perception to lock onto Ye Yuan. He even relied on smell.


    This avatar body wore Ye Yuan''s clothes, wouldn''t it be Ye Yuan''s smell?


    When he erupted with his full strength and wanted to kill Ye Yuan, the move was already executed, and he was completely unable to perform a second reaction.


    All of it took time to say, but actually it was just a split second for a spark to fly off a piece of flint.


    This scene was too unexpected, resulting in Zhao Lingdong and Howlsky both already suffering a huge loss without reacting to it.


    Except, Ye Yuan was still not too satisfied with this battle achievement.


    This sword, he had accumulated power for a long time and fully thought that he would be able to chop off Howlsky''s dog head. Did not think that it was still dodged by him.


    "Ji Qingyun, you''re courting death here!" Zhao Lingdong gnashed his teeth hatefully and said.


    It was already uncertain how many years it had been since he had been so enraged before.


    He would rather he get injured than be willing to see Howlsky get hurt.


    But facing Zhao Lingdong''s wrath, Ye Yuan said very calmly, "You said it like you''d let me leave! Since you guys came to kill me, then you''ll have to be prepared to be killed. Not even having this bit of awareness, you �� can''t kill me!"


    Zhao Lingdong said furiously, "Is that so? Then I''ll take a look at just how many tricks you have! Today, I must dice you up into ten thousand pieces!"


    "Roar!"


    Zhao Lingdong let out a furious roar. Hideous fur suddenly grew out on his face and hands!


    His teeth grew sharp, protruding fangs, his nails also grew sharp claws.


    His body was in the air, looking just like a large dog!


    "Yo! Actually became a dog! Turns out that this is your most powerful state! Really deserving of the title of Spirit Hound Divine King! Big dog plus a small dog, truly an invincible combination!" Ye Yuan said with an amused look.


    Zhao Lingdong had a dog''s appearance, but he spoke in human language, "I hope that you can still laugh in a while!"


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Lingdong''s figure suddenly disappeared. Ye Yuan only felt a chill at his neck. A dog claw already extended onto his neck.


    This skill was cut from the same cloth as Howlsky.


    However, Ye Yuan''s Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm was fully released, and he had long taken Zhao Lingdong''s every movement and action into his sight.


    He did not panic in the slightest. The Evil Extermination Sword left its scabbard instantly, and stabbed towards Zhao Lingdong''s throat from an extremely odd angle!


    The Evil Extermination Sword reached first despite making a move later, and it was even actually a slight faster than Zhao Lingdong.


    Zhao Lingdong''s face fell, not expecting Ye Yuan to actually use such a mutual-destruction fighting style.


    His claw swiping down, Ye Yuan would no doubt lose his life, but he absolutely could not survive too.


    Meeting on a narrow path, the brave wins!


    Zhao Lingdong finally still yielded!


    At the last second, his body leaned back slightly, narrowly avoiding Ye Yuan''s stab.


    And just missing that tiny bit, his claws were unable to pierce through Ye Yuan''s throat anymore.


    A drop of fresh blood remained at Ye Yuan''s neck area. His throat still had a small cut sliced open in the end.


    It was just that Zhao Lingdong knew that this move, he still lost!


    "Can''t even bear to part with your life, you still dare to say how much you love your dog?" Ye Yuan was completely oblivious to the pain on his neck and said with a scoff.

 1103 Blueflash Butterfly

    "Didn''t you want to take revenge for him? Just now, sending yourself forward, and I''d be dead. Such a fine opportunity, you actually let it pass. Really feel not worth it for that dog of yours!"


    Ye Yuan had a look of heartache, deeply piercing Zhao Lingdong.


    "Awoo �� Awoo ��"


    The Howling Sky Divine Hound let out two howls right then, seemingly cheering Zhao Lingdong on.


    Zhao Lingdong''s expression turned cold, and he said, "Brat, don''t pull that trick with me! The feelings between Howlsky and me, you''ll never understand! Killing you, there can be a myriad of ways!"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Is that so? You guys even brought out the Mountain and River State Painting. Didn''t it fail to kill me too? Do you think that the son of heaven''s mandate is that easy to kill?"


    "Wouldn''t I know if I try? Fierce Wind Absolute Domain!"


    The moment Zhao Lingdong''s divine king domain opened up, within a 1500 feet radius, it turned into a sea of wind.


    That swift and fierce wind were akin to small blades, slicing up everything in the space.


    Exchanging a blow earlier, he discovered that Ye Yuan''s reaction was seriously too quick. His advantage in speed could not be unleashed at all.


    Hence, he decided to directly use cultivation realm to overpower Ye Yuan!


    As long as he dragged until Datong and Santong came, with the combined power of everyone, could Ji Qingyun overturn the heavens still?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a light smile, "Then this young master will take a look at just how much capability you, this dog person, have!"


    Ye Yuan took out the Evil Extermination Sword and released his divine king domain fully. He was actually going to clash with Zhao Lingdong head-on!


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingdong could not help being secretly delighted in his heart.


    After breaking through to the Fourth Level Dao Profound, Ye Yuan''s divine king domain already reached 150 feet.


    Through the Evil Extermination Sword''s boost, his divine king domain reached as vast as 900 feet all at once and was already very close to 1000 feet.


    But just this tiny bit of disparity, the gap between him and Zhao Lingdong was not just a little bit.


    If attacking with the divine king domain, Ye Yuan would be bound to suffer a loss.


    "Haha, just the likes of you want to measure my strength too? So what even if you have a divine artifact?"


    Zhao Lingdong let out a roaring laugh and suddenly urged his Fierce Wind Absolute Domain, crushing over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes. A terrifying sword intent surged to the skies.


    "Limitless Life-Death Sword!"


    Ye Yuan used divine essence without being the least bit stingy, making the Limitless Life-Death Sword''s power rise to another level!


    Rumble!


    Two terrifying attacks collided in midair. Ye Yuan was still significantly worse in the end and directly had a large mouthful of blood blasted out by the violent energy.


    "Blind reckless fool! En? Want to run? How can it be that easy?!"


    Borrowing this tremendous recoil force, Ye Yuan''s figure sped towards the depths like lightning, directly merging into heaven and earth.


    Zhao Lingdong''s expression turned cold, and he chased after with incredible speed.


    Ye Yuan had never thought about clashing head-on with Zhao Lingdong before. Zhao Lingdong, this kind of powerhouse, was still not what the present Ye Yuan could forcefully contend with.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan was able to sense that Mo Datong and Mo Santong were already chasing on the way.


    If he lingered, there was only a path that led to death.


    Even if Ye Yuan was any more heaven-defying, it was also impossible to resist the besiegement of four great Void Mystic powerhouses. There were still divine artifacts in the other two person''s hands.


    Right from the beginning of this attack, he had his mind set on escaping.


    Ye Yuan ignored the injuries on his body and urged his movement technique to the limits.


    At the same time, he swallowed a healing medicinal pill and essence energy recovering medicinal pill, so as to ensure his endurance kept up.


    Zhao Lingdong discovered to his dismay that although he was that little bit faster than Ye Yuan, it was very limited.


    Howlsky having a wing chopped off by Ye Yuan, disregarding the great loss in vitality, his speed also dropped drastically.


    Without Howlsky, he had no way of catching up to Ye Yuan within a short time at all.


    Zhao Lingdong''s teeth gnashed till it clattered. Only now did he discover that ever since Ye Yuan discovered their ambush, the actions at every step all went through meticulous planning!


    From casting Moonlight Mirage and escaping, to using the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation to kill Mo Ertong, then to concealing within the void to sneak attack Howlsky.


    This series of actions was actually just for the sake of one purpose, which was to escape!


    Eliminate all the factors that affected his escape!


    ...


    This carried on for nine days and nine nights!


    Finally, the transmission array that led to the fifth level appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    He did not have the slightest hesitation. Urging his movement technique to the limits, he dove head first into the transmission array.


    At this time, Zhao Lingdong also rushed over.


    After seeing Ye Yuan enter the fifth level, a look of struggle surfaced on Zhao Lingdong''s face.


    The fifth level was rather dangerous to him as well.


    Once provoked those powerful existences inside, even if it was him, he would be dead for sure too.


    "Damn it! This brat has a large stock of Tier 9 medicinal pills on him. He''s not afraid of dragging it out with us at all!" Zhao Lingdong gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan borrowed that recoil force and directly pulled far apart from Zhao Lingdong. Merging into heaven and earth again, he shook Zhao Lingdong off all at once.


    With that, he became a full beat slower. How could he still catch up to Ye Yuan?


    The speed of merging into heaven and earth was very quick. Ordinary speed could not catch up at all.


    Want to knock Ye Yuan out of the state of merging into heaven and earth, it needed to be done within a certain radius too.


    They were separated so far away all of a sudden, it was totally beyond Zhao Lingdong''s ability.


    However, there was not much time for him to regret it at present. Carry on delaying, and Ye Yuan would run out god knows how far.


    Zhao Lingdong gritted his teeth, brought Howlsky along, and tunneled into the transmission array.


    Before long, Mo Datong and Mo Santong also arrived.


    "Looks like they have already entered the fifth level! Big Brother, what should we do?" Mo Santong said in a solemn voice.


    Mo Datong gave a cold snort and said, "Old Second''s enmity, we must avenge! So what if it''s the fifth level? Don''t forget, we have divine artifacts in our hands! Ordinary desolate beasts aren''t our match at all. Forget about the fifth level, even if it''s a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, we have to go too!".


    "Fine, go!"


    The two people did not have much hesitation and immediately followed inside too.


    ...


    After entering the fifth level, Ye Yuan casually took out a small bottle.


    Inside the small bottle was a blue butterfly.


    Casually opening the small bottle, the blue butterfly directly flew out and vanished with a flash, inconceivably swift.


    Seeing the blue butterfly disappear, a hint of a smile appeared on Ye Yuan''s face.


    This blue butterfly was called Blueflash Butterfly. It liked to rest on the Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus the most.


    This blue butterfly was already groomed for a long time by Ye Yuan with special means. If there were Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotuses nearby, it would bring Ye Yuan to find it.


    The Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus was a core medicine of the Dao Defying Pill. Apart from the Immemorial Medicine Garden, the places that Ye Yuan knew, only this Bloodrain Wilderness had it.


    Ye Yuan had long guessed that the Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus was at this fifth level. Looking at it now, it was indeed so!


    Walking not far away, there was another series of undulations from the transmission array in the distance. Zhao Lingdong''s figure finally appeared at the fifth level.


    But when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he sneered coldly to no end.


    "Indeed still came down. Later, this young master will prepare a feast for you all. You guys savor it well!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, his figure immediately disappearing, merging into heaven and earth.

 1104 Dog Gall Cowardly like a Mouse

    Zhao Lingdong was currently in hot pursuit. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he stopped.


    "En? Not moving anymore?"


    "Awoo, awoo ��" Howlsky by the side also howled twice.


    Zhao Lingdong nodded his head and said, "This brat is crafty as a fox. Better not advance rashly. Wait for Mo Datong and Mo Santong to arrive, then we push on together! We just have to lock onto him and not let him escape. That will do!"


    The current Zhao Lingdong was also somewhat jittery with imaginary fear already.


    Being scammed by Ye Yuan time and again, their side could be said to have suffered grievous losses.


    Zhao Lingdong still felt that waiting for the Devil Ridge Three Freaks to arrive and pushing on together was safer.


    Before long, Mo Datong and Mo Ertong finally caught up.


    Mo Datong could not help frowning when he saw Zhao Long standing still and not advancing. He said, "Why aren''t you chasing anymore?"


    Zhao Lingdong gave him a glance and said, "He stopped! This punk is full of cunning tricks. It''s safer for us to advance together."


    Mo Ertong''s death made Mo Datong''s entire person become much colder and gloomier.


    He shot Zhao Lingdong a glance coldly and said, "If you''re scared, then you''re scared! Making it sound nicer than it is!"


    Zhao Lingdong could not help being stifled when he heard that and said angrily, "Mo Datong, watch your words! Currently, not just Mo Ertong died, even Howlsky had a wing chopped off by that brat too! We''ve already suffered so many losses. Shouldn''t we be a little more careful now?"


    Mo Datong snorted coldly and said, "Merely just a dog, and you''re comparing him to Ertong? Moreover, he only had a wing chopped off! If not for you being filled with misgivings, we''d have long killed him!"


    Zhao Lingdong did not think that Mo Datong suddenly became so impervious to reason and was angered by his few words until smoke billowed from all seven orifices.


    "Mo Datong, don''t you forget Lord Divine Master''s words! Whatever you''re discontented with, wait until after we kill Ji Qingyun, then say it! Carry on with the internal strife, then the one who will be pleased with himself will be that brat!"


    Zhao Lingdong knew that now was not the time to be quarreling. He could only forcefully rein in his temper.


    Hearing Zhao Lingdong''s words, Mo Datong also snorted coldly and said, "Where''s that brat? Let''s go and exterminate him together! I want this brat to die a horrible death!"


    "There, inside the valley over there!" Zhao Lingdong nudged with his mouth and said.


    Ahead was a stretch of extensive mountain valley. Looking from here, it was all shrouded by a cloud of fog, and completely could not see the situation inside clearly.


    It was also no wonder that Zhao Lingdong was cautious. Under such circumstances, nobody would dare to rashly enter.


    It was just that Mo Datong already lost his head due to anger and completely did not care about what Zhao Lingdong was thinking. He just blamed him for not tying Ye Yuan down.


    Mo Datong darted him a sidelong glance and said with a cold snort, "A cloud of mist scared you until like this? Santong, let''s go!"


    Finished talking, the two people leaped and entered inside the valley.


    Zhao Lingdong''s brows furrowed, and he was rather unhappy in his heart. But helpless, he still followed after.


    The four people were bold, stemming from superb skills. They dispersed the fog and directly entered the valley.


    But Zhao Lingdong''s brows knitted together, and he said solemnly, "Did you guys detect it? There are quite a number of powerful existences inside this valley! That brat definitely doesn''t have any good intentions luring us in here."


    Mo Datong said totally unconcernedly, "Scared of him for what? With the Mountain and River State Painting bestowed by Lord Divine Master, could those guys overturn the heavens still? If they are sensible, better know their place. If not sensible, slaughter them together!"


    Zhao Lingdong felt that this guy already could not be reasoned with.


    At this time, he wished that he could slaughter these two fellows, and take forcible possession of the divine artifacts.


    Of course, it was also just thinking about it. If he really made a move, it would definitely be him who would get the worst out of it.


    Before long, Zhao Lingdong suddenly said, "We are very close already. It seems like it''s ahead!"


    One sentence, and it roused Mo Datong and Mo Santong''s spirits.


    The two people took out their divine artifacts and accumulated power, awaiting release. As long as they saw Ye Yuan, they would exterminate him with the force of a thunderbolt!


    Sure enough, they saw Ye Yuan not long after walking.


    Ye Yuan likewise saw them too and said with a smile, "Waited for you all very long already. Why did you only come now?"


    The moment Mo Datong saw Ye Yuan, his hairs stood on its ends!


    "Boy, you actually dared to kill Ertong. Today, I''ll hack your body into a thousand pieces to offer as a sacrifice to Ertong''s spirit in heaven!" Mo Datong roared.


    Ye Yuan said with a light smile, "Still that same sentence: since you guys came to kill me, you''ll have to be prepared to be killed!"


    Mo Datong was furious to the extreme and said, "Good! Very good! Since that''s the case, you can go and die already!"


    Mo Datong was just about to make a move but was held back by Zhao Lingdong.


    "Don''t go over! How can this brat allow himself to be captured without putting up any resistance? He definitely set up some kind of trap to let us jump into it. Don''t fall for it anymore!" Zhao Lingdong said with a cold yell.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he lifted his head to the sky and said with a loud laugh, "Zhao Lingdong, everyone says that a dog''s gall is audacious to the extreme. Why is your dog gall even smaller than a mouse''s gall? Four great Void Mystic powerhouses, two divine artifacts, you don''t even dare to attack?"


    Hearing those words, Zhao Lingdong was not indignant, but his heart pounded.


    Ye Yuan''s words were clearly to trigger Mo Datong!


    He was even more certain in his heart that Ye Yuan definitely had some ruse waiting for them!


    However, being teased by Ye Yuan like this, how could Mo Datong still endure it?


    He glared at Zhao Lingdong furiously and said, "Get lost! Wait until your father kills this punk, then I''ll definitely go to Lord Divine Master to lodge a complaint!"


    Done talking, that painting in his hand suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light. The Mountain and River State Painting was already deployed by him.


    The Mountain & River State Painting was a very powerful divine artifact. Even if not drawing the other party inside, the power was extraordinary too.


    Mo Datong knew that Ye Yuan similarly had a divine artifact in possession, so he had no way of drawing him in at all. Hence, he directly activated the Mountain & River State Painting, wanting to kill Ye Yuan.


    "Old Third, attack!" Mo Datong shouted.


    No need for him to say anything, Mo Datong''s short blade was already in his hand.


    His divine king domain opened up fully. The power of this chop could virtually shatter mountains and rivers!


    Two surges of terrifying divine artifact''s might instantly spread throughout the entire valley.


    "Roar ��"


    Inside the valley, an earth-shaking roar suddenly transmitted out.


    Over a dozen black silhouettes galloped over from all directions.


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingdong''s expression changed drastically, and he said, "Damn it! The two of you idiots! Now, you startled the desolate beasts inside the valley! I see how you guys take care of it!"


    "Who cares! Kill for me!"


    While talking, the Mountain and River State Painting and short blade released two dazzling lights, cleaving straight for Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan stood there firmly and did not move, as if those two attacks were not attacking him.


    Suddenly, over a dozen terrifying attacks converged from all directions, and directly intercepted the two great divine artifacts'' joint-attack!


    These dozen over attacks, each one had power on par with Void Mystic powerhouses. The whole process from beginning to end was incomparably daunting.


    Even though two great divine artifacts were frightening, they were no match for the desolate beasts'' numbers too.


    Rumble!


    A surge of enormous energy exploded in the air, and immediately sent everyone flying, including Mo Datong and the rest.


    "Impossible! Why would these desolate beasts help this punk? This is not possible!" Mo Datong roared.


    "You idiot! With this, I see how you clean up the mess!" Zhao Lingdong snarled.

 1105 Little Flame

    Those dozen over desolate beasts seemed to have gone crazy, directly ignoring Ye Yuan and charging over towards Mo Datong and the others.


    Not just this, in this short while, several more black silhouettes dashed out again.


    Seeing this scene, even if he had a divine artifact in possession, Mo Datong felt his scalp tingle too.


    Only at this time did he know that what Zhao Lingdong said was right.


    This was obviously a trap!


    "Quickly run!" Zhao Lingdong shouted loudly and ran towards outside the valley like mad.


    How could Mo Datong still dare to stay there? Even if he had a divine artifact, facing close to 20 existences as powerful as him, he could not gain any advantages either.


    However, Mo Datong they all were surrounded.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several desolate beasts blocked right in front of them. The other desolate beasts caught up too, and immediately enclosed them in tightly.


    "You two idiots! Already said that there was a trap, but you just refused to listen!" Zhao Lingdong stomped his foot in anger.


    Mo Datong regretted in his heart, but his mouth was unwilling to admit defeat as he said with a cold snort, "Who could have thought that this whole mountain''s desolate beasts actually all seem like they want to protect that brat?"


    Zhao Lingdong gave a cold snort and said, "Enough crap! Bring out all of your capabilities and carve an opening out! Make sure not to linger in battle. Otherwise, none of us can escape!"


    These desolate beasts, the strength of every one of them was not inferior to Zhao Lindong and the others.


    If not for having divine artifacts in their hands, they would all have to die here.


    Mo Datong saw that the desolate beasts were numerous. Resolving his heart, he was going to opening up the Mountain and River State Painting, wanting to take these desolate beasts in.


    The moment Zhao Lingdong saw, his expression could not help changing greatly as he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Are you crazy? With your strength, can you suppress these 20 over desolate beasts? Do you really think yourself to be invincible by freaking wielding a divine artifact? If they go crazy inside, the disturbance will shock you to death!"


    Having a torrent of abuse hurled at by Zhao Lingdong, Mo Datong did not dare to rebuke.


    It was true that the Mountain and River State Painting was powerful, but it was not truly unbeatable.


    If it was a Deity Realm powerhouse using it, even if 10 thousand desolate beasts were taken inside, they would be thoroughly dead too.


    But he was just a Void Mystic powerhouse. Furthermore, the desolate beasts being taken in were roughly the same strength as him.


    Over 20 at once, once they went crazy inside, with Mo Datong''s strength, he could not suppress it at all.


    "Then �� Then what do you think we should do?" Mo Datong did not have anymore temper this time.


    "What to do? Break the encirclement! The two of you join forces and open up the path in front. We''ll return to the fourth level!" Zhao Lingdong said.


    "Re-Return to the fourth level?" Mo Datong was stunned.


    Zhao Lingdong''s face turned black, and he scolded right at Mo Datong''s face, "What else do you want? Now that it came to this, we can only seal off his exit! I refuse to believe that he can hide inside here for life!"


    Mo Datong thought about it. It seemed like there was only this method.


    Now that it came to this, wanting to kill Ye Yuan was already impossible.


    ...


    "Little Flame, the matter this time, thank you very much!" Ye Yuan said to a youth beside him gratefully.


    The youth waved his hand and said, "No need. Fiery and I are members of the same clan. You''re his big brother, which also means that you''re my big brother. These are just a matter of lifting a finger. There''s no big deal


    This youth was precisely a one-million-year-old Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus.


    The Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus and Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus were both fire-attribute lotus flowers, originating from the same source. Hence, that was why Little Flame said that they were members of the same clan.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s original plan was to use Fiery to get close to the Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus, to make the latter not launch attacks at him.


    Wait until Zhao Lingdong they all came, then lure them into making a move. This way, it would be able to draw the desolate beasts in the proximity to deal with them.


    But Ye Yuan never thought that this Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus actually gave birth to a primordial spirit, too, and was able to transform into human form.


    This way, communication became smoother.


    Little Flame was a million-year-old medicine spirit. His essence energy nurtured the numerous desolate beasts in this perimeter.


    For Zhao Lingdong to want to touch Little Flame, those desolate beasts naturally would not agree.


    "Little Flame, make those desolate beasts not get serious. Just chase those few fellows out will do. They have divine artifacts in their hands. If they really risk their lives for real, you guys will definitely have losses." Ye Yuan exhorted.


    Little Flame nodded his head, his mouth emitting a series of bizarre syllables, transmitting into those desolate beasts'' ears.


    Over there, Zhao Lingdong they all were already locked in a fierce struggle with the desolate beasts.


    No, accurately speaking, it was being badly thrashed by the desolate beasts.


    Over 20 Void Mystic desolate beasts, placed in the outside world, it was even more than the Holy City!


    How could this terrifying power be what the three or four of them could resist?


    If not for having divine artifacts in their hands, they would have long been shredded into pieces by the desolate beasts.


    When those desolate beasts received Little Flame''s order, they did not pester Zhao Lingdong the four people incessantly either. They showed a weak point and let the four people charge out.


    Of course, these four people were already in a wretched plight at this time. Each and every one of them was carrying considerable injuries on their bodies.


    Outside the valley, battle-cries shook the heavens. The desolate beasts did not have the intention of letting it go yet, continuously chasing the four people in the direction of the fourth level.


    These four people finally managed to charge out of the heavy encirclement, how could they still dare to turn back?


    They fell back while fighting and slunk back to the fourth level.


    Seeing the four people''s miserable appearances, the child-like Little Flame and Fiery both laughed loudly without ceasing.


    When the four people disappeared outside the valley, Little Flame said to Ye Yuan, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, Fiery and I are as close as brothers. Why not you guys stay here for a few more days, alright?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Fiery has suffered considerable hardships following me these few years. Now that he''s able to encounter a brother from the same clan, you guys naturally have to get closer."


    Fiery and Little Flame hit it off right from the beginning and naturally could not bear to part here and now.


    Ye Yuan agreeing made the two little ones involuntarily jump for joy.


    Chasing Zhao Lingdong and the others away, Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh in relief.


    This half a month''s time, Ye Yuan''s mental strength already reached the limits, hanging in there entirely based on a strand of willpower.


    The following few days, Ye Yuan stayed in the valley to recuperate.


    With the help of medicinal pills, Ye Yuan''s recovery was very swift.


    Except, what gave him a headache was that he originally came to capture Little Flame. Did not expect that fate made a mockery out of men. Little Flame and Fiery actually became friends who kept no secrets from each other.


    Since the two were friends, Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to touch a friend. Furthermore, Little Flame even helped him to chase away Zhao Lingdong and the rest. Ye Yuan could not repay kindness with ingratitude even more.


    Thinking for a long time, Ye Yuan could only give up.


    "Forget it, forget it! This Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus, better think of another way!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    This stopover took half a month''s time. Ye Yuan also had a rare period of peace and tranquility.


    This half a month, apart from treating his injuries, the majority of the time was on sorting out the gains in this period of time.


    After entering the Bloodrain Wilderness, Ye Yuan virtually spent it in the midst of high-intensity battles constantly.


    Sitting down to sort it out carefully, Ye Yuan''s gains were truly quite a bit.


    In concepts comprehension, Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao concept gradually closed in on the great circle of perfection.


    Slaughter and Scorching Heat, two supreme true intents, Ye Yuan also had significant improvements and was going to break through the bottleneck very soon.


    On this day, Ye Yuan was currently cultivating when Fiery suddenly brought Little Flame and dropped in.

 1106 Flamesoul Crystal

    Looking at that piece of pale-yellow crystal in Little Flame''s hands, Ye Yuan''s eyes stared until they became wide-circles.


    "Little Flame, this �� " Ye Yuan said somewhat not daring to believe it.


    Little Flame passed that pale-yellow crystal in front of Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, this is for you!"


    This pale-yellow crystal was not an ordinary item, but it was the Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus''s origin crystal body called Flamesoul Crystal. It could only condense one every 50 thousand years. It was the crystallization of Little Flame''s cultivation!


    Which was also to say that Little Flame, this million-year-old spirit medicinal plant, only had a mere 20 pieces too. It was extremely valuable.


    Most importantly, the goal of Ye Yuan finding the Flamesoul Vast Universe Lotus was precisely for it!


    Receiving Little Flame''s help previously, Ye Yuan dismissed this thought, planning to go and search in the outside world again later on.


    In the time that he stayed here, Ye Yuan did not reveal this notion either.


    Because if he took away the Flamesoul Crystal, Little Flame''s cultivation base would be greatly damaged.


    Did not think that Little Flame actually took the Flamesoul Crystal today and gifted it to him. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Only after being shocked for a long time, did Ye Yuan resist the temptation and pushed the Flamesoul Crystal back, shook his head, and said, "Little Flame, I admit that I''m here for it. But �� I can''t ask for this!"


    Ye Yuan had a sincere look, but an expression of unwillingness to part still hung on his face.


    This Flamesoul Crystal, Ye Yuan was indeed very moved.


    However, Little Flame was Fiery''s brother. He could not do such a thing.


    Little Flame and Fiery exchanged a glance, and suddenly started laughing hard.


    Ye Yuan was baffled by these two people''s laughter and could not help asking curiously, "What are you guys laughing at?"


    Fiery said to Little Flame, "You see, I didn''t lie to you, right? As long as Big Brother sincerely treats you as a friend, he absolutely won''t accept the Flamesoul Crystal!"


    Little Flame also said with a smile, "I know that humans are mostly selfish people. Didn''t expect that Big Brother Ye Yuan is actually so sincere. Truly hard to come by. Fiery, I''m really envious of you, to have such a nice big brother!"


    Speaking of this, Fiery also had a proud look as he said, "You don''t think about it a little either. If Big Brother isn''t good to me, how can I, a Tier 4 essence fire, have such accomplishments within a short 20 over years'' time?"


    Ye Yuan listened to the two people''s conversation with a doubtful look and finally perceived a little something.


    My �� This Little Flame was deliberately using the Flamesoul Crystal to feel me out.


    This made Ye Yuan rather surprised. He even thought that Little Flame''s thoughts were simple and did not have any guard up against humans.


    Looking at it now, it was him who thought too much.


    Little Flame was also an old monster that lived for a million years. He even ruled over so many desolate beasts. He would not be simple no matter what.


    But Ye Yuan also knew that Little Flame was still very pure. Feeling him out was purely stemmed from feeling worried about someone from another race.


    Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, "The two of you are really ��"


    Little Flame said with a smile, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, please don''t take offense. I was the one who forced Fiery to come and feel you out together. Our Bloodrain Wilderness''s herb clan and beast clan all dislike humans very much. Hence, humans who come down to the fifth level, we would always kill without mercy. Except, I never thought that Big Brother Ye Yuan is really different from other humans."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "It''s also very normal for you to be on guard against me. If it were me, I might do it even more excessively than you. Therefore, Little Flame, you don''t have to have any burden. You''re Fiery''s brother, which is also my, Ye Yuan''s, brother!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan not take offense, Little Flame was delighted too.


    If Ye Yuan really fell out because of this matter, he knew that it would put Fiery on the spot.


    Heaven and earth spiritual plants, being able to transform and become primordial spirits, and even originate from the same family, it was truly incomparably rare.


    Hence, Little Flame also cherished Fiery all the more.


    This point, Fiery was similarly like so. Therefore, that was why they would feel like old friends at the first meeting.


    Little Flame said happily, "Big Brother Ye Yuan is really magnanimous! However, although I had the intention of probing, this piece of Flamesoul Crystal is really to gift to Big Brother Ye Yuan."


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Flame with a doubtful look and appeared slightly angry as he said, "Stop joking around. Little Flame, if you really don''t believe me, I''ll bring Fiery along and leave right now! Men have principles to adhere to and baselines. This Flamesoul Crystal, I cannot take it!"


    Little Flame could not help being anxious the moment he heard and said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, I''m not joking with you! This Flamesoul Crystal is really giving to you!"


    Seeing that the expression on Little Flame did not seem to be feigned, Ye Yuan was really astonished and opened his mouth to say, "Little Flame, this is your origin crystal body. Once it leaves your body, your strength will greatly diminish! This thing, even if you really gave it to me, I can''t accept it either!"


    If it was gifted by other people, Ye Yuan would accept it without the slightest hesitation. But since there was Fiery, this layer of relationship there, Ye Yuan would not accept it.


    At this time, Fiery laughed and said, "Big Brother, just accept it! With me around, Little Flame''s cultivation won''t get damaged!"


    Little Flame also said, "Fiery and I exchanged a piece of leaf, making us both have a trace of the other party''s strength! The ability of the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus is even stronger than my main body. Obtaining Fiery''s strength, not only will my strength not decrease, it will even advance a step further! Therefore, Big Brother Ye Yuan doesn''t need to have any misgivings."


    Ye Yuan could not help being stunned, and he said, "There''s still such a thing? It''s my first time hearing about it!"


    Fiery said with a smile, "Little Flame and I have bodies of the same origin. After exchanging, both sides will have a great advancement in strength. It''s just that this sort of situation where bodies of the same origin both give birth to primordial spirits is too rare. The chances of two primordial spirits meeting each other are extremely rare. Hence, it''s also not strange that Big Brother doesn''t know about this matter."


    Ye Yuan thought about it and felt that way too.


    Fiery and Little Flame''s encounter was indeed something rare to the extreme.


    "Speaking of which, for me and Little Flame to be able to meet, it''s all because of Big Brother still! If not for Big Brother bringing me out of the Endless World, it would also be impossible for me and him to meet. Perhaps, everything is foreordained by heaven." Fiery said with a smile.


    Little Flame grabbed Ye Yuan''s hand, placed the Flamesoul Crystal onto Ye Yuan''s hand, and said with a smile, "Hence, Big Brother Ye Yuan, just accept it!"


    Today''s matter, Ye Yuan himself was dumbfounded.


    He completely did not think that such a miraculous encounter would actually occur still, by bringing Fiery out of the Endless World back then.


    Perhaps it was really as Fiery said. Everything was foreordained by the heavens.


    Talking up to here, Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous anymore and said to Little Flame, "Since that''s the case, then I won''t be courteous with you anymore! Little Flame, today''s matter, Big Brother Ye Yuan will remember it. There will come a day where Big Brother Ye Yuan will bring you out of this Bloodrain Wilderness!"


    Ye Yuan knew that that the entire Bloodrain Wilderness was an enormous sealed land.


    The sealing power of this place was frighteningly powerful!


    Otherwise, with these desolate beasts'' terrifying strength, how could they possibly wait here obediently, and become the Holy City disciples'' objects of trial?


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, a glimmer flashed in Little Flame''s eyes too, revealing an expression of yearning.


    Nobody was willing to be sealed in this damned place!


    Little Flame said smilingly, "Big Brother Ye Yuan doesn''t need to be courteous! I still have to thank Big Brother Ye Yuan for bringing Fiery to the Bloodrain Wilderness!"

 1107 Three Great Kings

    In the depths of the Bloodrain Wilderness''s fifth level, three figures were currently surrounding a medicine spirit.


    The strength of one of the figures was extremely powerful. Under his suppression, the battle portrayed a one-sided situation.


    Very soon, that medicine spirit was thoroughly subdued.


    These three figures were precisely Ye Yuan, Little Flame, as well as Fiery.


    And the one with extremely fearsome battle-prowess earlier was precisely Little Flame.


    The moment the fight started, Ye Yuan was struck dumb with amazement by Little Flame''s combat power. He also did not expect that Little Flame''s strength was actually so formidable.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that Little Flame''s strength was absolutely not inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Sure enough, after giving birth to a primordial spirit, these heaven and earth spiritual plants unlocked their intelligence, and their cultivation speed even advanced at a tremendous pace.


    Ye Yuan even felt that if not restricted by heavenly Dao, Little Flame would likely have broken through to Deity Realm already.


    Little Flame''s strength was still just at the fifth level. Then just how powerful was the strength of those living beings at the sixth level?


    "Little Flame, you really broadened my horizons! If there wasn''t you, wanting to capture this Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass would really not be easy," Ye Yuan said joyfully.


    Little Flame smiled and said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, you came prepared. Even if there wasn''t me around, it probably can''t escape either."


    This Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass was also a core medicine of the Dao Defying Pill.


    Ye Yuan came to capture this Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass, Little Flame tagged along too. But did not expect that he became a great helper.


    And these few days, Little Flame finally also knew Ye Yuan''s means, and he could not help feeling lingering fear.


    Only later on did he know that if not for him giving birth to a primordial spirit and becoming friends with Fiery, he would probably also have become a stalk of spirit medicine in Ye Yuan''s storage ring already.


    At that time, he asked Ye Yuan what would he do if he launched attacks at him.


    Ye Yuan told him about his contingencies with a broad smile, frightening him badly.


    Only at this time did Little Flame knew that, turns out Ye Yuan had long known about him like the palm of hands.


    Although his strength was much greater than Ye Yuan''s, Ye Yuan was truly scheming against the unwary. The result was really hard to say.


    After all, each person had their own weakness.


    Especially since Ye Yuan had long researched extremely thoroughly into the Dao Defying Pill''s nine core medicines already. Wanting to capture them was not something very hard.


    Ye Yuan said with a big laugh, "Although that''s the case, without you, wanting to catch him would probably still have to expend considerable effort."


    Little Flame said smilingly, "Huhu, in this fifth level, things that are able to make me apprehensive are really not many. However �� Big Brother Ye Yuan, do you really want to go to the sixth level? Those few fellows in the sixth level are not that easy to get along with."


    Ye Yuan said with a nod, "Since the sixth level has the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, I must make this trip."


    With Little Flame, such a fine guide, Ye Yuan naturally would not let it pass.


    How many of the nine core medicines the Bloodrain Wilderness had, Ye Yuan naturally had to inquire clearly.


    The Unrefined Gold Earthspirit Grass was one, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was another.


    Except, the place where the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was at, was the even more dangerous sixth level.


    When Ye Yuan obtained this news, he hesitated for a while, too, but still decided to make a trip in the end.


    The nine core ingredients were too hard to come by. Once missed it, wanting to find it again would need god knows how long.


    This Bloodrain Wilderness could be said to be the most flourishing place for the Divine Realm''s spirit medicines. But it only had a mere three kinds as well. The rarity could be imagined.


    Little Flame asked Fiery, "Big Brother Ye Yuan wants to go, you''re sure that you want to go too?"


    Fiery nodded and said, "Of course! Where Big Brother goes to, I''m going there!"


    Little Flame heaved a sigh and said, "Alright then. Big Brother Ye Yuan, the sixth level, I can''t go there. Otherwise, I''ll be directly obliterated by the power of restrictions. Hold this lotus leaf well. Using it at a critical moment will be equivalent to my all-out attack. Perhaps it can let you escape a crisis."


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either. Receiving the lotus leaf, he clasped his hands and said, "Thanks!"


    Toward Little Flame, Little Flame naturally could not bear to part with him leaving. It was just that he knew that he and Fiery would have to be separated sooner or later.


    With Fiery opening up a path, naturally, no one dared to provoke Ye Yuan in the fifth level anymore.


    Little Flame sent the two people to the entrance area leading to the sixth level and was still reluctant to part as he said, "Big Brother Ye Yuan, Fiery, you guys have to come back and visit me!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, wait till I find the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, I''ll definitely come back to see you."


    Seeing the two people off, vanishing inside the transmission array, Little Flame had a wistful look.


    ...


    Entering the sixth level, Ye Yuan felt that even breathing became a little difficult.


    Faintly perceptible powerful auras transmitted over from far away, making people shudder without feeling cold.


    According to Little Flame, this sixth level had three great kings. They were respectively the Single-Horned Moyun Beast, Heaven Tunneling Rat, as well as the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.


    The former two were desolate beasts, while the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was a powerful primordial spirit!


    But regardless of which one, they were all overwhelmingly powerful.


    "Big Brother, those three great kings'' strengths are so powerful! I just entered the sixth level and actually had a thought of prostrating in worship!" Fiery said in alarm.


    Fiery was a heaven and earth spiritual plant too. Presently, his strength was not weak either.


    Before this, he had never had such a thought appear before.


    But now, this thought suddenly welled up in his heart.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard that and said, "Little Flame said, those three great kings are not Deity Realm powerhouses. Since they are not Deity Realm powerhouses, even if they are any stronger, it''s impossible to make you give rise to such a thought either."


    Fiery could not help being stupefied when he heard and said, "Then �� what''s going on?"


    "If my conjectures are right, what made you produce to this kind of thought, is likely coming from the seventh level! It''s just that this mysterious seventh level, no one has ever gone there before. What kind of existences are there, nobody knows. But without a doubt, the seventh level''s existences are definitely terrifying to the extreme," Ye Yuan said with a slightly grim look.


    Not just Fiery, Ye Yuan himself naturally sensed it too.


    Upon entering the sixth level, Ye Yuan sensed that there was a terrifying aura attempting to make him yield.


    But the strange thing was, the moment this aura touched him, the Soul Suppressing Pearl suddenly emitted a strange undulation, and directly repelled this aura back.


    Ye Yuan seemed to sense that this aura seemed to have profaned the Soul Suppressing Pearl, making it angry.


    It was as if that terrifying aura had affronted it.


    This discovery made Ye Yuan abnormally shocked.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was a really hard to fathom existence.


    But no matter what, that aura was unable to affect Ye Yuan anymore.


    "I heard that Zhuge Qingxuan entered the sixth level before. If my conjectures are right, he must have come aiming for the Deity Realm. Looking at it now, the sixth level shouldn''t have secrets relating to the Deity Realm. Rather, that seventh level might really have secrets concerning Deity Realm. It''s just, don''t know if he went in or not. Fiery, you''d best enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda," Ye Yuan said.


    Fiery nodded his head and was directly taken in by Ye Yuan.


    His condition was clearly not too suited to continue penetrating deep in.


    "Little Flame said that the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber is within a 10 thousand mile radius of the transmission array. Better find it as soon as possible and leave, so as to prevent unnecessary complications from cropping up. Once we startled the three great kings, it wouldn''t be good."


    Ye Yuan restrained his aura and started searching for the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber.

 1108 Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil

    Ye Yuan deployed Heaven Man Unity heart realm to the limits, taking everything in the surrounding into his sight.


    Those powerful existences, Ye Yuan avoided them one by one.


    To martial artists, 10 thousand miles was not too large of an area. It did not take much time for Ye Yuan to search.


    Finally, three days later, Ye Yuan found traces of the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber!


    The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was an earth-attribute spirit medicine, adept at escaping through the earth. The strength of the medicine spirit was also not to be trifled with.


    But these did not pose any difficulty to Ye Yuan.


    He did not act rashly and alert the enemy, but laid down several Tier 9 array formations in the vicinity, enclosing its surrounding area into a metal bucket.


    This way, the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber would be hard-pressed to escape even if it had wings.


    However, just as Ye Yuan was planning on taking action to subdue the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber suddenly went berserk, ramming against the grand array abruptly.


    What made Ye Yuan stare dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape was that the originally impregnable grand array actually collapsed with a loud bang under the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber''s one strike.


    The Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber breached the grand array and sped towards the depths of the sixth level with immense speed.


    Ye Yuan had no time to dwell on it. Immediately merging into heaven and earth, he chased after it.


    It was just that this Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber''s fleeing speed was actually incomparably fast. Ye Yuan actually could not catch up within a short time.


    It looked like the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber was about to run out of the 10 thousand mile radius. Ye Yuan could not help feeling greatly anxious.


    Forget about startling the three great kings, even startling the kind of existences like Little Flame, he would be unable to bear the consequences of failure too.


    Ye Yuan was very confident in his own strength. But he was not yet confident to the extent of being wildly conceited.


    The three great kings, that kind of existence, he was absolutely not a match.


    Unknowingly, the two, one chased, one ran, already far exceeded the range of 10 thousand mile radius.


    "Can''t keep chasing like this anymore, going all out!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and the Evil Extermination Sword was suddenly unleashed.


    Whoosh!


    The speed of the Evil Extermination Sword flooded with divine essence was inconceivable quick, directly pinning down the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber in the midst of escaping.


    Ye Yuan could not help being overjoyed when he saw the situation and chased after with a flash.


    At present, it was also uncertain how far out he chased. Ye Yuan did not dare to stay and immediately sealed the Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber, planning on speeding over to the transmission array.


    But right at this time, an extremely powerful divine sense suddenly descended, locking Ye Yuan down firmly.


    Ye Yuan was akin to being struck by lightning, his entire person paralyzed there.


    This pressure, Ye Yuan had only sensed it before on Spirit Bristle, that kind of existence.


    Without a doubt, the owner of this divine sense was likely one of the three great kings!


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. He did not expect that he would still alarm them in the end.


    A purple-shirt youth slowly walked out of the void. Staring at Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression, he said coldly, "Ignorant human, you actually dare to act wildly in this king''s boundary!""


    Ye Yuan''s scalp tingled. This purple-shirt youth, barring no accidents, was likely the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.


    The powerful undulations coming off his body, even Ye Yuan felt his heart palpitate too.


    This youth was too strong!


    "This one is most likely Senior Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, right? Junior Ye Yuan having affronted Senior is seriously against my will. This Ten Fragrance Immortal Tuber is too important to this junior. If it disturbed Senior''s cultivation, Ye Yuan is willing to compensate with other things," Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo shot Ye Yuan a cold glance and said with a cold smile, "Laughable! Do you think that there''s still something in this world that can move this king?"


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling awkward when he heard. To the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, this level of existence, most likely what could move them, was only that fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm.


    Or perhaps, bringing them out of this space.


    Except, Ye Yuan could say these words to Little Flame, but was unable to say them to the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo. Because he would not believe it at all.


    Of course, Ye Yuan still had the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, this sort of heaven-defying treasures. But it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to take them out.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said coolly, "You, boy, your strength isn''t strong. To actually be able to walk to the sixth level, it makes this king somewhat surprised. That aura earlier should be a divine artifact, right? Luckily, who you ran into was this king. If it were those two fellows, they probably wouldn''t be as amiable!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned apprehensive, thinking to himself that this guy indeed took fancy on his divine artifact.


    But the Evil Extermination Sword, he absolutely would not hand it over.


    "Whatever requests Senior have, feel free to say. What Ye Yuan can accomplish, I definitely won''t decline. But this divine artifact ��" Ye Yuan said.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said disdainfully, "Relax, divine artifacts are useless to me. But I''m rather interested in you. Stay behind and be my servant for 10 thousand years. At that time, I''ll naturally let you leave.


    Ye Yuan knew that this guy would not say anything nice.


    Disregarding other things, how could Ye Yuan be someone contented to bow down to others?


    "This �� Junior can''t do it." Ye Yuan said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    He did not wish to get into a conflict with the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, but it did not mean that he was really scared of the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo seemed to have long expected it and said with a cold smile, "You brat, could it be that you''re making a joke out of this king? Divine artifact can''t, being a servant can''t as well. Why don''t you say what else you have that can make this king take fancy upon?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "I wonder if senior is interested in Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil?"


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo originally still had a ''never making a concession'' appearance. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, his expression immediately changed and he said, "You �� You actually have Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil too? Quick! Quickly take it out!"


    It was also no wonder that the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was astonished. The Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil possessed lethal allure to any plant.


    Legends had it that the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was an earth-attribute supreme treasure, containing the power of the Five-Elements Source. The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, this kind of heaven and earth spiritual plant could glimpse into the source of the great Dao through the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil.


    Reaching the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s level of realm, there naturally was nothing that they would take fancy upon anymore. But that did not mean that they did not have the room for improvement.


    This Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was precisely one of the things that could let him advance further.


    So much so that if heavenly Dao laws was able to allow Deity Realm to appear once more, this Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil was absolutely able to let him cross that heavenly chasm!


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo totally thought that Ye Yuan had the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil on him. Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said very scoundrelly, "Don''t have!"


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s agitation instantly turned into rage. A terrifying aura immediately enveloped Ye Yuan.


    "You dare to fool this king? Truly tired of living!" The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Senior, don''t get worked up. It looks like Senior should have seen the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil before, right?"


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was not dumb either. He instantly understood Ye Yuan''s meaning and said with a cold smile, "Your meaning is that you''re planning on using that guy''s stuff to bribe this king, to make this king let you go? Heh, brat, you really calculated really well! This kind of empty promise, do you really take this king to be a three-year-old kid?"


    That guy that the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was talking about was precisely Zhuge Qingxuan!


    According to what Ye Yuan knew, Zhuge Qingxuan had precisely a chunk of Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil in his hands. It was viewed by him as a forbidden slice of meat, and he absolutely did not permit others encroach on it.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s current expression naturally illustrated that Zhuge Qingxuan had indeed come to the sixth level before. Furthermore, he even made a deal with the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo before.


    It was just that the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo did not seem to have agreed to him.

 1109 You Tricked Me!

    Clearly, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo had already reached the brink of eruption.


    Ye Yuan''s insincere promise already made him lose the last of his patience.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care about his attitude and just said with a faint smile, "Senior, don''t get angry first. Even if you kill me, there''s no benefit to you either. But if you let me go, within 10 years, I''ll definitely offer up the Five-Colored Evergrowing Soil. This transaction, I wonder how Senior feels about it?"


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said solemnly, "That brat''s strength is evenly-matched with me. Back then, the three of us also expended considerable strength before repelling him. Just the likes of you, a brat whose hair isn''t even fully grown, also dare to say this sort of big talk? Aren''t you afraid of your teeth falling out?"


    "Don''t bully a young man for being poor, Senior! How would you know that after 10 years, I won''t be Zhuge Qingxuan''s match?"


    Ye Yuan had a calm look. What exuded was thick confidence.


    He admitted that Zhuge Qingxuan was strong, very strong. He could even be said to be the Divine Realm''s number one person.


    But Ye Yuan had faith to catch up within 10 years, even surpass him!


    With the Vast Heaven Stone Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, if Ye Yuan could not even surpass Zhuge Qingxuan, then he, this son of heaven''s mandate, was also too useless.


    Seeing that composed look of Ye Yuan''s, no idea why, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo actually believe Ye Yuan for that split second.


    Because the confidence that Ye Yuan showed was completely different from that sort of wild arrogance.


    That was the confidence belonging to a powerhouse!


    Every world-shocking powerhouse would have this kind of calm confidence.


    "Humph! Talk is cheap! I want to see what kind of means you have to dare say this sort of big talk! I''ll use 50% power to unleash a move. If you can resist it, what''s the harm in promising you?" said the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan said self-assuredly, "Senior, go ahead and make your move!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s relaxed appearance, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo could not help being suspicious.


    But he was a peerless powerhouse at any rate. He naturally would not show leniency because of this hint of suspicion.


    A powerhouse like him, even if it was just 50% power, it was also not what ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses could withstand.


    Using 50% strength was plenty to effortlessly cut down Zhao Lingdong, this class of powerhouse.


    In the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s view, even if Ye Yuan had a divine artifact, it was absolutely impossible to block this blow of his either.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo seriously could not figure out just where this confidence of Ye Yuan''s originated from!


    Only to see the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo slowly reach a finger out. All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, akin to the might of heavenly tribulation.


    "Lightning of Punishment!" the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo slowly spat these three words out of his mouth.


    Although it was just 50% power, the might of this bolt of lightning was a hundred times as powerful as Ye Yuan''s heavenly tribulation back then!


    When Ye Yuan saw that finger, his gaze contracted too.


    If 50% power had such might, then wouldn''t 100% power have the ability to destroy the world?


    The fame of the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was indeed well-deserving.


    Quick as thought.


    In a blink of an eye, this bolt of lightning descended from the sky, smiting right for Ye Yuan!


    But no idea when, Ye Yuan''s hand actually had an additional wooden stick.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was rather satisfied with this Lightning of Punishment move of his, just nice taking it easy, wanting to see how Ye Yuan would respond.


    But when he saw that wooden stick in Ye Yuan''s hands, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    "Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood! This boy actually has Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!" the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo exclaimed in shock.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, directly sticking the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood in his hand into the dirt.


    That terrifying bolt of lightning landed straight for the top of Ye Yuan''s head. But just as it was about to land on Ye Yuan, it actually deviated a tiny but bizarrely, landing on the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!


    Buzz ��


    No earth-shaking exploding sounds transmitted over, but the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood erupted with rays of brilliant light, seemingly incomparably joyful.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Many thanks to Senior for bestowing lightning! My Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood just happened to be on the verge of breaking through. With senior''s lightning, breaking through to middle-stage Tier 9 should be sufficient."


    The last time Ye Yuan transcended tribulation, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood similarly absorbed large quantities of source power, successfully breaking through to Tier 9.


    But just earlier, when the Lightning of Punishment was just about to smite Ye Yuan, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorbed it over instantly, greedily absorbing the power of lightning.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was a heaven and earth spiritual plant with an extremely powerful lightning attribute. His cultivation realm was far greater than the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Even though it was just a careless attack of the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo, the energy undulations contained within was extremely powerful.


    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood had long reached the boundary of breakthrough already. With this bolt of lightning, it broke through to middle-stage Tier 9 very quickly.


    "Boy, you tricked me!" the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo said with a black face.


    He completely did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such a trump card.


    If Ye Yuan had other treasures, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo had sufficient confidence to directly shatter it using that attack earlier. Even a divine artifact would not cut it either.


    But, only the similarly heaven and earth spiritual plant, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, could fully absorb his lightning powers!


    Because this bolt of lightning was not some heaven-defying attack to the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. It was the best nourishment.


    It was also precisely because of so that Ye Yuan dared to agree to accept the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s conditions.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "I didn''t say anything. It was Senior yourself who wanted to test junior''s strength. Moreover, senior also didn''t say that can''t use Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, right?"


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo could not help choking up and was actually at a loss for words.


    He felt that he had completely fallen into the trap that Ye Yuan set up.


    Looks like this brat had been setting up a trap for him from the very beginning.


    If he had long known that it would be like this, might as well directly smite him down the moment he came up. Save the nonsense too.


    Although this attack earlier was absorbed by the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, it still did not mean that Ye Yuan was really immune to the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan was scheming against the unwary, only taking out the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood at the last second, resulting in the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo not having time to react at all.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo also had feelings of belittlement towards Ye Yuan. That was why he resulted in such an outcome.


    If he unleashed that blow earlier with full power, even with the origin magnetic field, Ye Yuan would have to suffer serious injuries too.


    "Hahaha, purple bamboo, you can''t even take care of a little baby, how disgraceful!"


    At this time, a voice suddenly transmitted out from within the void, laughing wildly.


    A massive figure slowly walked out from within the void. This gigantic figure looked rather like a bull, but it only had one horn.


    Ye Yuan practically determined at the first moment, that this should be the Single-Horned Moyun Beast of the Three Great Kings.


    When the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo heard this laughter, his face turned black to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan lost all of his face with this.


    "Squeak squeak, really making your Grandpa Rat die of laughter! An exalted king was actually tricked by a human child."


    Another voice sounded out. A giant rat scurried out from underground and laughed mockingly at the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo.


    Ye Yuan could not help despairing in his heart. The sixth level''s three great kings actually gathered together all at once!


    A Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo was already extremely hard to deal with. Three appearing all of a sudden, how could he escape?


    Ye Yuan''s thoughts flashed like lightning, racking his brain hard for a strategy to escape.Bully a young man for being poor is from an idiom that basically refers to a young man''s future being limitless.

 1110 The Formidable Strength of Peak Void Mystic!

    "Brat, you caused me to make such a big fool of myself! You deserve death!"


    These three great kings were mortal enemies in the sixth level. Neither one was acquiescent to the other.


    But Ye Yuan''s scheme earlier was seen by the other two beasts. How could this not enrage the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo?


    He was currently filled with killing intent towards Ye Yuan already.


    The Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo slowly reached a finger out. The oppression this time was even more terrifying compared to the previous time!


    This finger, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo used 70% power!


    That violent energy undulation made Ye Yuan''s heart palpitate.


    "Hahaha! Human brat, kneel down and beg this king. Perhaps this king will be happy and agree to take action to save you!" the Single-Horned Moyun Beast laughed wildly and said.


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance coldly and shouted, "Scram!"


    The Single-Horned Moyun Beast, who was earlier laughing wildly incessantly, suddenly froze with a gaping huge mouth. He said solemnly, "Brat, you''re courting death here!"


    The three of them were all unrivaled powerhouses, the absolute kings in the sixth level. Who dared to be so insolent in front of him?


    Yet, Ye Yuan sent him a ''scram'' word.


    But that Heaven Tunneling Rat rolled on the ground from laughter and said, "Hahaha! Single-Horned, I didn''t think that you also ate a loss. This human brat is really quite interesting."


    Crack!


    Just as they were talking, another bolt of lightning landed.


    Seeing this attack, the Heaven Tunneling Rat squeaked with laughter and said, "Ah! Purple Bamboo that guy is really furious this time. This brat �� is dead for sure this time!"


    The Single-Horned Moyun Beast had an incredibly grim look by the side. But he approved of the Heaven Tunneling Rat''s words very much.


    This attack practically contained 70% of the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s power. Even if they were dealing with it, it would expend some effort too, let alone this human Fourth Level Dao Profound brat in front of them.


    The two of them retreated a distance away sensibly to avoid being implicated by accident.


    Purple Bamboo''s 70% Lightning of Punishment was not joking around.


    Especially when they knew that Purple Bamboo''s offensive power was incomparably fearsome to begin with. Confronting it head-on, it would be sufficient for even them to choke on too.


    A power that cleaved the heavens and covered the earth crushed down towards Ye Yuan.


    At this instant, Ye Yuan felt like the entire firmament was almost collapsing.


    This Purple Bamboo''s strength was an existence on par with Zhuge Qingxuan. Such a powerhouse was too terrifying.


    This was still Ye Yuan''s first time witnessing such a terrifying attack face-on in two lifetimes.


    The previous life, it was completely impossible for those Ten Great Divine Kings to make a move against him.


    This time, Ye Yuan finally experienced what kind of existence true peak divine kings were.


    This attack was already unavoidable.


    Right now, Ye Yuan could only have a frontal battle!


    Even though he knew that the outcome of a frontal-clash could only be death.


    But letting him submit without putting up resistance, he was unresigned to it!


    "Roar!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly transformed and turned into an enormous azure dragon!


    Seeing this scene, the three kings'' expressions all changed.


    They never thought that Ye Yuan actually still had such a contingency move!


    Especially the Single-Horned Moyun Beast and Heaven Tunneling Rat, the two of them were desolate beasts, having common ancestry with the demon race. That terrifying true dragon pressure actually made them have an impulse to prostrate in worship!


    Of course, their level of existence would not really prostrate in worship. It was just that that kind of palpitation originating from the depths of the bloodline still made them endlessly shocked.


    This brat''s true dragon bloodline was pure to the extreme!


    However, a scene that made them even more astonished occurred!


    In that instant he transformed, Ye Yuan took out the Vast Heaven Stele.


    "Vast Heaven Stele, open!"


    Ye Yuan gave a fierce cry. The Vast Heaven Stele instantly soared, smashing over towards the thunderbolt.


    Without any flashiness, just a ruthless smash, it was wrapped with the might of heaven and earth!


    The Purple Bamboo''s thunderbolt brought the firmament along and suppressed down, while Ye Yuan''s Vast Heaven Stele wanted to smash a hole out in the firmament!


    "This �� What the hell is this? Just a smash and it has such terrifying power! If this brat was able to use this stone plaque, the result would be hard to predict!" The Single-Horned Moyun Beast secretly exhaled.


    With his strength, he was naturally able to sense the mysterious aura coming off of the Vast Heaven Stele.


    Although he did not recognize it, he knew that this stone plaque was definitely not an ordinary item.


    At this instant, the Single-Horned Moyun Beast and Heaven Tunneling Rat both made up their minds. The moment Ye Yuan died, they would immediately step forward to snatch this stone plaque!


    With this stone plaque, their strength would surely increase greatly!


    Rumble!


    The thunderbolt and the Vast Heaven Stele clashed directly, emitting a heaven-shaking boom.


    The Single-Horned Moyun Beast and Heaven Tunneling Rat retreated once more as well, in order to avoid being affected by this attack.


    "Puhwark!"


    The tremendous backlash force that came from the Vast Heaven Stele immediately shocked Ye Yuan to severe injuries, spewing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.


    But the thunderbolt directly pressed on the Vast Heaven Stele, crushing down towards Ye Yuan.


    This attack of Purple Bamboo''s must thoroughly suppress Ye Yuan!


    If he could not even suppress a measly little Ye Yuan, then he could not lift his head up at all in front of the other two great kings in the future.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan disregarded the injuries on his body, bringing forth the strongest Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm while having blood in his mouth.


    "Roar!"


    An azure dragon phantom soared to the sky, flying straight for the Vast Heaven Stele!


    Rumble!


    The Vast Heaven Stele that received this blow that shot up to the sky actually slowly stopped crashing down. It gradually stabilized.


    However, Purple Bamboo''s Lightning of Punishment had not utterly dissipated yet.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s body slammed heavily onto the ground, directly smashing out a deep crater.


    Ye Yuan immediately recovered to human form and brought out the Evil Extermination Sword.


    "Limitless Life-Death Sword!"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan used his strongest attack again!


    "Puhwark!"


    Another tremendous backlash force shook Ye Yuan until even his internal organs were displaced.


    "Divine king domain! This �� How is this possible? This human brat is simply too monstrous! Fourth Level Dao Profound and he''s actually able to comprehend concepts to such a profound level!" the Heaven Tunneling Rat looked at Ye Yuan and said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan practically exhausted all of his trump cards. This time, he finally utterly dispersed this bolt of Lightning of Punishment from Purple Bamboo.


    However, Ye Yuan was drenched in blood all over currently, and he was completely unable to move a muscle anymore.


    "Looks like the Ten Great Divine Kings'' appraisal indeed isn''t groundless! This level of powerhouse is too terrifying!" Ye Yuan laid on the ground and said with a bitter smile.


    Purple Bamboo''s expression was incredibly ugly. He did not think that he used 70% power and was actually unable to immediately kill Ye Yuan!


    However, his current thoughts were already no longer placed on Ye Yuan.


    Because Single-Horn and Heaven Tunneling Rat were already speeding towards the Vast Heaven Stele with exceptionally swift speed!


    Through this attack just now, he was already perfectly clear that this Vast Heaven Stele was absolutely not an ordinary item.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Three figure sped towards the Vast Heaven Stele with incredible speed.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan was helpless to the extreme too.


    The present him already did not have a trace of strength to stop these three great kings.


    The three people''s strengths were about on par, practically reaching the Vast Heaven Stele at the same time.


    Looking at the three of them were about to touch the Vast Heaven Stele, an abnormality occurred once again!


    The area where the Vast Heaven Stele was at, a surge of strange energy suddenly appeared, and directly exploded!

 1111 Mysterious Powerhouse from the Seventh Level

    A blinding white light flashed past. The area where the Vast Heaven Stone Stele was at exploded with a loud bang.


    Powerful as the three kings were, they were actually sent flying by the power of this explosion.


    When the seriously injured Ye Yuan saw this scene, he stared dumbfounded with his jaws slack too.


    That explosion just now was too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan was seriously unable to imagine just what kind of existence could unleash such a move.


    One had to know that the three great kings were already existences at the summit of the Divine Realm.


    Who else could be even stronger than the three of them?


    Ye Yuan could not help being alarmed, his gaze abruptly turning towards the depths of the sixth level!


    Who else in the Divine Realm could defeat the three great kings so effortlessly? There was only that mysterious existence in the Bloodrain Wilderness''s seventh level.


    An intangible divine sense suddenly descended. The feeling that this divine sense gave Ye Yuan was akin to a vast ocean, unfathomable.


    The three great kings hastily crawled with their feet and lay down in prostration in the direction of the seventh level, not daring to move a muscle.


    Swoosh ��


    Suddenly, the Vast Heaven Stone Stele actually directly flew away, flying towards the seventh level''s depths.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s eyes stared until they became wide circles.


    The Vast Heaven Stele acknowledged him as its master. What was the meaning of flying away now?


    But in the next second, something that made Ye Yuan even more dumbfounded happened.


    His Evil Extermination Sword actually broke free, similarly flying away out of control!


    "This �� What on earth is going on?" Ye Yuan''s astonishment could not be any greater.


    Right at this time, a deep voice that had experienced many vicissitudes of life descended from the sky.


    "Divine items such as these are not what the likes of you all can take a share in!"


    The three people''s entire body trembled, and they hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Excellency! It was us �� who overestimated our ability!"


    "En. Bring him to see me!" That mysterious voice sounded out once more.


    Ye Yuan was alarmed inwardly when he heard that. This ''him'' was clearly referring to him.


    But Ye Yuan was even more curious. He was very curious whether or not this seventh level''s existence was really a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Could it be that there were really still Deity Realm powerhouses in this world?


    Ye Yuan was unable to move at this time. He could only allow the three great kings to bring him away as they pleased.


    But riding on the Single-Horned Moyun Beast''s body, that feeling was still pretty good.


    The three great kings were all incessantly flustered currently. They did not know what relations Ye Yuan had with the seventh level''s lord.


    They were sealed in the sixth level for God knows how many years, but had never seen His Excellency actually take the initiative to request to meet someone. This was an unprecedented event.


    If Ye Yuan really had some relation with His Excellency, that joke earlier would have been really bad.


    Especially the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo. He beat Ye Yuan until like this; this was simply dreadful.


    The three of them being in the sixth level for so many years, they were too clear how formidable His Excellency''s strength was.


    Claiming their lives was merely a matter of waving a hand.


    Along the way, the Heavenly Thunder Purple Bamboo''s emotions were incomparably complicated.


    He wanted to go and apologize to Ye Yuan but was also afraid that His Excellency was just curious about Ye Yuan and was still going to kill him in the end.


    Not apologizing, he was also afraid that Ye Yuan was really related to His Excellency.


    It troubled him to death.


    The three people''s speed was rather swift. They only used half a day''s effort and arrived at the seventh level''s entrance area.


    Half a day''s time, Ye Yuan consumed medicinal pills, and his injuries were also much better, and he was already able to get down and walk around.


    Arriving here, the seventh level''s undulation appeared all the more powerful.


    The feeling that the three great kings gave people was already powerful to the extreme.


    But compared to the undulations coming from the seventh level, they were on completely different levels.


    "Come on in, junior!" A mysterious voice could be heard.


    Ye Yuan knew that there was no leeway for him to refuse either. Straight away, he directly entered the transmission array without much hesitation.


    Suddenly, it was pitch-black in front of Ye Yuan.


    The seventh level''s appearance was extremely far from what his imagination.


    This place seemed to be a different space. No bloodrain, no desolate beasts, no spirit medicines as well.


    What there was, was just a pair of incomparably profound eyes!


    Yes, the area where Ye Yuan''s gaze reached, there was only a pair of eyes, no other objects apart for that.


    This pair of eyes were buried in the darkness but was so conspicuous, akin to two lighthouses shining.


    But Ye Yuan could sense that ahead was a powerful restrictive force.


    As long as he advanced a little more, he would immediately be annihilated by this restrictive force.


    Ye Yuan attempted to communicate with the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword, but he discovered that these two divine artifacts were akin to rocks that had sunk into the ocean. They were not giving him any bit of response at all.


    With this, Ye Yuan''s heart hit rock bottom.


    "Junior, stop wasting your strength. These two divine items landing in your hands is simply a wanton waste of God''s good gifts!" that mysterious voice opened his mouth to speak again.


    Ye Yuan''s face turned black, and he said, "That''s my own business. Don''t need to trouble your esteemed self to worry!"


    A terrifying aura instantly enveloped Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan felt like someone was clutching his throat, practically making him asphyxiated.


    Just a burst of aura that escaped made Ye Yuan powerless to revolt.


    This mysterious powerhouse''s strength was truly terrifying to the extreme.


    "You, this junior, are so wildly arrogant! Aren''t you afraid that this lord will kill you in a rage?" the mysterious powerhouse said with sullen anger.


    At this time, the Soul Suppressing Pearl finally showed its power.


    A surge of faint red glow spread out, easily repelling that burst of aura back.


    Ye Yuan instantly felt the pressure on his body lighten, and he was finally able to breathe.


    While at this time, the mysterious powerhouse''s aura clearly had a trace of disturbance!


    "Soul Suppressing Pearl! It''s indeed the Soul Suppressing Pearl! Didn''t expect, oh didn''t expect it! The Soul Suppressing Pearl really saw the light of day anew! Junior, your destiny is truly heaven-defying!" the mysterious powerhouse said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "This doesn''t seem to have anything to do with you, right?"


    The mysterious powerhouse could not help choking up and said crossly, "I say, you, this junior, why are you so impulsive when speaking? Can''t you have a talk properly?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Return the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword. I can naturally have a proper talk then!"


    Ye Yuan could sense that this mysterious powerhouse did not seem to have any ill-intentions toward him. Using his aura to suppress him earlier was merely in order to punish the latter slightly. That was all.


    It was just that the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword landing in other people''s hands, Ye Yuan kept feeling anxious.


    This mysterious powerhouses clearly had words to say to him. Hence, if he was a little impudent, the other party should not really make a move to kill.


    If he really wanted to kill, he would have long killed too.


    If Ye Yuan''s conjectures were right, this mysterious powerhouse should have some history with the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword. Otherwise, he could not snatch them from his hands so easily.


    "You, this junior, are so petty! This lord just had not met with old friends for many years and was somewhat agitated for a moment, that''s all. Rest assured, since the Vast Heaven Stele was obtained by you, it shows that you''re this generation''s son of heaven''s mandate. This lord won''t snatch your divine artifact. If the Vast Heaven Stele is yours, it''s yours. Nobody can snatch it away!" the mysterious powerhouse said.


    Done talking, two streams of flowing light shot out from within the darkness and suspended in front of Ye Yuan. They were precisely the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword!


    "However �� it is not that this lord is looking down on you. But your way of using the Vast Heaven Stele, it is truly a bright pearl covered by sand in your hands!" the mysterious powerhouse suddenly followed up saying his words.

 1112 Ancient Heaven One Sec

    The Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword arrived in front of Ye Yuan. That feeling of blood being thicker than water instantly recovered again.


    Only at this time did Ye Yuan finally set his mind at ease.


    But towards the mysterious powerhouse''s words, Ye Yuan became interested too.


    The Vast Heaven Stele could be said to be Ye Yuan''s greatest trump card currently. It was even more powerful than the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and Limitless Life-Death Sword.


    But the Vast Heaven Stele''s method of usage was pouring in emperor qi, then smashing it toward the opponent.


    Although simple, the power was incomparably powerful.


    The Vast Heaven Stele contained extremely profound power of laws. Even if it was just a toss, it was extraordinary too.


    But right now, hearing the mysterious powerhouse''s meaning, the Vast Heaven Stele clearly still had other methods of usage.


    Furthermore, the power was clearly much stronger than smashing towards the opponent.


    "I beseech Senior to condescend to teach!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    "En, finally can have a proper talk. Since you''re this generation''s son of heaven''s mandate, then do you know the origins of this Vast Heaven Stele?" the mysterious powerhouse said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head blankly and said, "I''m unaware."


    He only knew that this Vast Heaven Stele''s previous owner was Fang Tian. As for the rest, he really did not know.


    Over 100 thousand years ago, heaven and earth had a cataclysmic change, forming a discontinuity in legacies. Many things were submerged in the long river of history along with divine Dao.


    But very clearly, this Vast Heaven Stele''s history was definitely far more long-standing than 100 thousand years.


    "That Heaven One Sect''s name, have you heard before?" the mysterious powerhouse asked again.


    Ye Yuan still shook his head blankly.


    Seeing the situation, the mysterious powerhouse sighed and said, "Looks like time has already extinguished everything."


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, "Was this Heaven One Sect, very powerful?"


    The mysterious powerhouse said laughingly, "Heh, they were naturally strong! The ancient Heaven One Sect was one of the Divine Realm''s three great leader sects, in full flourish for a time! Especially around one million years ago, that generation''s Sect Master Daoist Absolute Heaven came soaring into existence, virtually sweeping across the Divine Realm! The other two leader sects also had no choice but to temporarily hide their fangs, and treated the Heaven One Sect as the head."


    The mysterious powerhouse''s tone was also filled with admiration when mentioning Daoist Absolute Heaven.


    However, towards Absolute Heaven this name, it was rather familiar to Ye Yuan''s ears.


    He thought about it and finally recalled that he had once heard it before from Jia Lan.


    It seemed like the one who sealed Jia Lan was precisely Daoist Absolute Heaven.


    Looking at it this way, this Daoist Absolute Heaven was most likely a truly terrifying existence.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan knew that Jia Lan was merely a small fry. What was truly powerful was still that Holy Mother Devil Flower.


    Holy Mother Devil Flower, was similarly sealed by Daoist Absolute Heaven.


    It could be seen from this that this person was really powerful to the extreme.


    "Presumably, Daoist Absolute Heaven was that generation''s son of heaven''s mandate, right?" Ye Yuan was suddenly somewhat clear.


    "That''s right! A million years ago, the fiend race suddenly appeared. Under the leadership of the two great Heavenly Fiendgods, the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo, they swept across the entire Divine Realm very quickly. Absolute Heaven commanded the Divine Realm and led the Heaven One Sect and various great sects to forcefully resist the fiend race, finally sealing all of them. It was just that after sealing Kanuo, Absolute Heaven was already an expiring lamp, and he finally left this world!"


    The mysterious powerhouse''s words were filled with melancholy and regret.


    Although the mysterious powerhouse said it simply, Ye Yuan knew that that great paramount battle one million years ago was surely incomparably tragic.


    And hearing that the Holy Mother Devil Flower was actually an existence on the same level as Absolute Heaven, Ye Yuan''s brows could not help knitting together tightly.


    This was not good news!


    Ye Yuan also did not think that what was sealed inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden was actually one of the two great fiends, the Holy Mother Devil Flower.


    Also, Kanuo, although Ye Yuan had not heard of this name before, the title of Heavenly Fiendgod, he had heard of it to some extent.


    That great battle 50 thousand years ago, Fang Tian''s opponent was precisely a self-proclaimed Heavenly Fiendgod!


    If this Heavenly Fiendgod was Kanuo, then wouldn''t it mean that two great fiends actually all came into being?


    The mysterious powerhouse detected Ye Yuan''s oddness and opened his mouth to ask, "Since you obtained the Vast Heaven Stele, the fiend race should have come into being once more, right? Could it be that you''ve already come into contact with them?"


    Ye Yuan did not hide it, briefly recounting the events of the Immemorial Medicine Garden and 50 thousand years ago.


    A terrifying undulation spread out, causing the entire seventh level''s space to shake incessantly.


    Not just the seventh level, the desolate beasts and medicine spirits in the sixth and fifth level were all quivering unceasingly.


    "Fools! Truly a bunch of fools! Death isn''t regrettable! Back then, how great a price did Absolute Heaven pay in order to seal the Holy Mother Devil Flower? This bunch of fools actually let them out just like that! Even if they die, it serves them right too!"


    Under the mysterious powerhouse''s wrath, Ye Yuan felt like the entire space was going to collapse.


    This guy in front of him was definitely a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Void Mystic powerhouses absolutely did not reach this sort of degree!


    "Senior, just how powerful is this Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    That pair of eyes glanced at Ye Yuan and said solemnly, "Very strong! With your cultivation realm, you''re completely unable to imagine it! Back then, Absolute Heaven already reached the peak of Origin Deity Realm. But he was still unable to kill the Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo. If not for him possessing the Vast Heaven Stele, this kind of marvelous foreign treasure, there would simply be no way of defeating them. Finally, he exhausted his physical and mental efforts and merely sealed them too. But I didn''t expect that one million years later, they were released by a bunch of fools. Truly preposterous!"


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up.


    This was his first time hearing a description of the Deity Realm.


    He had long known that among deities likewise had the distinction of superiority and inferiority.


    And this Origin Deity Realm should be a peak existence among deity realms.


    A million years ago, Absolute Heaven should be a figure standing at the very summit of the entire Divine Realm. Then his cultivation realm was naturally also the highest realm.


    Ye Yuan looked at that pair of eyes with a fervent gaze. He had never felt so close to Deity Realm before.


    "Senior, the Origin Deity Realm that you said, what kind of realm is it?" Ye Yuan guided along skillfully.


    Seemingly sensing Ye Yuan''s enthusiasm, that mysterious powerhouse suddenly fell silent.


    Ye Yuan held his breath, patiently waiting for the other party''s response.


    After a long silence, the mysterious powerhouse suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Did a massive change happen to the Divine Realm''s heaven and earth 100 thousand years ago?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately nodded his head and said, "That''s right! Around 100 thousand years ago, all of the Deity Realm powerhouses vanished overnight, even bringing along many deity realm inheritances and disappearing along with them too. At present, beneath this stretch of heaven and earth, there are already no more Deity Realm powerhouses!"


    "No wonder! Oh, no wonder!" The mysterious powerhouse murmured under his breath.


    Ye Yuan was anxious in his heart, but asked verbally, "Senior, what on earth happened 100 thousand years ago?"


    The mysterious powerhouse heaved a sigh and said, "I was sealed here, how was I able to know what is happening in the outside world? It''s just that 100 thousand years ago, my body had a portion of the power of laws being taken away out of the blue. Ever since then, I''ve been unable to use Deity Realm strength anymore."


    Hearing the mysterious powerhouse''s words, Ye Yuan was rather disappointed.


    But he also obtained many information from it. One of it was that this powerhouse before his eyes was really a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Another information concerned the present Divine Realm. If there were Deity Realm powerhouses who lingered here, their power of laws would likewise be siphoned off, and their cultivation would regress back to the Divine King Realm!mentioned briefly in Chapter 1075

 1113 Divine Dao Three Realms

    If it was this reason, then did those Deity Realm powerhouses leave the Divine Realm because of this?


    But where did they go to?


    Could it be that there was still another expanse outside of this Divine Realm?


    Countless questions hovered in Ye Yuan''s mind, unable to dispel them.


    The queries left behind by the disappearance of Deity Realm powerhouses were truly too many.


    The more one investigated, the greater the enigma discovered.


    "I had once heard people say before that at present, the Divine Realm''s Heavenly Dao is deficient. Senior, I wonder if there is any method that can resolve this predicament?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "Deity realms aren''t gods! Deity Realm is just a form of address. Even if they are Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, it''s impossible to truly take control of Heavenly Dao as well. One can only say that they are able to borrow even higher-level power of laws, that''s all. Since Divine Dao laws are already gone, nobody is capable of changing this outcome. Unless, you can find the missing Heavenly Dao!" the mysterious powerhouse said.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze flickered. He fell into rumination himself.


    If finding back the missing Heavenly Dao was the only method to break through to the Deity Realm.


    Then his Dao Defying Pill was probably unable to let him break through to the Deity Realm either.


    But if he admitted defeat like this, Ye Yuan was unwilling.


    "Heh, Junior, don''t have wishful thinking! As long as there is a trace of means, those Deity Realm powerhouses would not possibly all disappear in the Divine Realm too. Since they disappeared, that means that they were helpless to do anything and could only choose to leave!"


    The mysterious powerhouse naturally perceived Ye Yuan''s unwillingness. But how was Ye Yuan the only one who could not accept it? The others felt the same way too.


    Something that even Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to solve, how could a measly little Dao Profound Realm martial artist possibly accomplish it?


    Ye Yuan did not refute the mysterious powerhouse''s words. He then asked, "Senior, can you tell me about matters of the Deity Realm?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, the mysterious powerhouse knew that he did not give up hope.


    However, he did not refuse Ye Yuan and opened his mouth to say, "Divine Dao Three Realms can be categorised into Grotto Profound Deity Realm, Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, and Origin Deity Realm! Essence, Energy, and Spirit, fusing all into one, mystic qi flooding the body, gaining insight into Great Dao, that is Grotto Profound Deity Realm. Great Dao connecting to the heavens, inferring some aspect from a peek, glimpsing a corner of Heavenly Dao, that is Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. The end point of Dao, myriad life returning to their origins, drawing transcendent Heavenly Dao for their own use, that is Origin Deity Realm! Divine Dao Three Realms, each realm''s span is tremendous. The vast majority of people can only stop at Grotto Profound. In the ancient era, the fiend race rose up. Countless human geniuses corroborated their Dao and became deities. But those capable of reaching Origin Deity Realm were only three people!"


    Ye Yuan listened by the side, his thoughts surging like the tide.


    Such a secret, the people who knew about it in the Divine Realm were probably already scanty few.


    Only at this time did he know that above Deity Realm, there were still three major realms.


    Deity Realm was also just another beginning.


    The mysterious powerhouse spoke rather detailedly and talked about his understanding towards Deity Realm for Ye Yuan to listen.


    Deity Realm powerhouses had already glimpsed the source of Great Dao. Every movement and action secretly encompassed laws.


    If Dao Profound powerhouses only had a fuzzy perception toward the power of laws, then Deity Realm powerhouses were able to draw powers of law for their own use.


    The disparity in between this could not be measured with distance!


    Even the lowest rank Grotto Profound Deity Realm was also capable of borrowing Divine Dao laws to easily eliminate Divine King Realm powerhouses.


    These Divine Dao laws were even able to be inscribed by Deity Realm powerhouses, creating divine inscriptions.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s teachings! This Ye has gleaned considerable gains! It''s just until now, Ye Yuan still doesn''t know who Senior is, and what relation Senior has with the ancient Heaven One Sect?" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and asked.


    The mysterious powerhouse said, "I am a Black Tortoise Divine Beast under Daoist Absolute Heaven''s command, Skydistant, also the ancient Heaven One Sect''s sect-protecting divine beast."


    "Black Tortoise Divine Beast!" Ye Yuan''s shock was by no means insignificant. He did not think that this Bloodrain Wilderness''s seventh level actually sealed a genuine divine beast!


    For 100 thousand years, true divine beasts had already become legends.


    At present, the bloodlines of those so-called divine beasts in the Divine Realm actually became increasingly thin.


    Even as powerful as the Azure Dragon Clan could not escape this fate either.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually met with a living divine beast. How could he not be astonished?


    "Since Senior is Heaven One Sect''s sect-protecting divine beast, why would you be sealed in this place?" Ye Yuan asked.


    When Skydistant heard Ye Yuan''s words, a wave of foul air suddenly erupted, and he said with a cold snort, "It was all that insidious Zuo Zong! Truly deserve to die!"


    Mentioning this Zuo Zong, Skydistant truly gnashed his teeth in hatred. Clearly, he hated him to the extreme.


    Turned out that this Zuo Zong was also one of the three great Origin powerhouses back then. It was just that his strength was much weaker compared to Absolute Heaven.


    The human and fiend, two races'' war, the Yu Soul Sect that Zuo Zong was in showed up for work but did not exert themselves, causing the human race to fall into passivity at one time.


    If not for Absolute Heaven and the other human race leader fighting the fiend race to the death, the human race would have long become extinct.


    Later on, the war subsided, and the human race had a pyrrhic victory. Absolute Heaven and the other human race leader passed away one after another. This Zuo Zong became the number one person in the world.


    Therefore, Zuo Zong led the sect''s disciples and charged up to the Heaven One Sect together.


    This Bloodrain Wilderness was originally Heaven One Sect''s medicine garden but was directly connected to the Yu Soul Sect by Zuo Zong with great magical ability.


    Zuo Zong, at that time, was truly incomparably mighty. He divided the space where the Bloodrain Wilderness was at into seven layers, and he sealed it layer by layer. He then suppressed Skydistant at the bottom-most section.


    The Heaven One Sect at that time actually still had some Deity Realm powerhouses. But compared to Zuo Zong, they were far too lacking.


    The strength of an Origin powerhouse was completely not what ordinary people could estimate.


    "Heh heh, Absolute Heaven only turned a blind eye to Zuo Zong''s actions for the human race''s overall situation at that time. But Zuo Zong probably never dreamed that Absolute Heaven had long left behind a big meal for him, just waiting for him to attack the Heaven One Sect."


    Talking up to here, Skydistant was truly incomparably delighted.


    He knew that Zuo Zong was severely wounded by the contingency plan that Absolute Heaven left behind. Not long after, he perished too.


    Hearing these stories from way back, he felt his mind rattled too. He endlessly admired Absolute Heaven''s actions.


    Humans were like that. Normally when together, they would engage in petty intrigue and try to get the better of each other. But whenever a crisis happened, there would always be righteous people coming forward.


    Absolute Heaven was like that, and Fang Tian was similarly like so.


    But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that the present Holy City was actually the descendant of the Yu Soul Sect one million years ago!


    Indeed descended from the same lineage. Even the filthy manner was passed down perfectly.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart.


    "Oh, right, Senior said previously that the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword had another way of using. I wonder if �� you can impart the method to me?" Ye Yuan said.


    He currently desired strength and hoped to become stronger.


    Regardless of whether it was in order to kill Ji Canglan or suppress the fiend race, his current strength was far from enough.


    Just as Skydistant said, if these two kinds of divine objects were unable to unleash the strength that they should have, then it was truly a wanton waste of God''s good gifts in his hands.


    Skydistant said, "Of course! As you said, the burden on your body is likely even heavier compared to Absolute Heaven! The Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo coming into being at the same time, even if Heavenly Dao is deficient, they are still able to use Divine Dao laws under Deity Realm! This way, their advantage is even greater instead!


    [0] Seems like there is a differentiation between great Dao and heavenly Dao. Because of that, they will be capitalised: Great Dao, Heavenly Dao, including Divine Dao, starting from this chapter. This includes Sword Dao, Alchemy Dao, and so on; but not sword path or path of the sword. Son of Heaven''s Mandate will also be capitalised.

 1114 Tranquility Results in Distance!

    Divine Dao laws were not laws that only Deity Realm powerhouses used.


    One should say that Divine Dao laws were power of laws that only Deity Realm powerhouses could comprehend.


    Dao Profound powerhouses, their life had not made a transition yet and were completely unable to touch the true source power.


    But, ever since Deity Realm powerhouses created divine inscriptions and recorded down power of laws in the form of the golden characters, all of this became a possibility.


    Although divine inscriptions were unable to truly depict source power, it used a shallow method to express the fleeting and ephemeral source of Great Dao.


    And this gave Dao Profound martial artists the chance to comprehend the source of Great Dao.


    Even though the comprehension of divine inscriptions was very difficult too, compared to genuine Great Dao source, it was much simpler.


    Of course, powerhouses like Skydistant and Holy Mother Devil Flower they all were originally Deity Realm powerhouses and comprehended the source of Great Dao in the first place. Using Divine Dao laws was naturally nothing difficult.


    Furthermore, their comprehension toward the Heavenly Dao was bound to be much deeper compared to a Dao Profound martial artist like Ye Yuan.


    For Skydistant to be able to send the three great kings flying in one move, this in itself illustrated many things.


    "The reason why divine artifacts are powerful is naturally because they are deployed with the powers of Divine Dao. Each divine artifact is inscribed with extremely profound power of laws. Only by stimulating the power of laws, can one unleash a divine artifact''s greatest might," Skydistant said.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he felt deeply ashamed too.


    All along, his way of using divine artifacts was like a nouveau riche.


    Although pouring in divine essence could unleash a portion of a divine essence''s ability, without corresponding powers of law to unleash it, the power was still very limited.


    Ye Yuan unwittingly recalled the White Tiger Clan''s Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask back then. That power compared to when he used it was simply a disparity of heaven and earth.


    Thinking about it now, it should be this reason.


    "Senior, then how should one trigger the powers of law inside the Evil Extermination Divine Sword?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "Divine artifacts have a spirit. Grasp hold of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword. When you produce a resonance with it, you''ll naturally understand," Skydistant said.


    Ye Yuan froze and blurted out, "Just that simple?"


    "Simple? Heh heh, although the Evil Extermination Divine Sword acknowledged you as its master, with your cultivation realm, wanting to reach the level of resonating with it is difficult. It will likely be hard to even enter the rudiments without ten or eight years of effort," Skydistant said mockingly.


    One was a divine artifact, while the other was a mortal.


    For the two to want to reach the extent of resonating, how could it be that easy?


    When Skydistant was ridiculing, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.


    To Ye Yuan, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword was merely a sharp weapon, used to storm and break enemy lines.


    Ever since acquiring it, Ye Yuan had never really thought before that the divine sword still had so many secrets. He also did not even try to examine the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.


    Under Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm, Ye Yuan''s state of mind became incomparably tranquil.


    But when Skydistant saw this scene, he smiled and said, "This brat. Does he really think that divine artifacts are so easy to grasp? To Dao Profound Realm martial artists, wanting to reach a resonance with divine artifacts is even harder than ascending to the heavens."


    Ye Yuan held the sword hilt with one hand, the other supporting the sword body from below, and sat with crossed legs, entering an empty state.


    Unknowingly, a mysterious power of law started winding around Ye Yuan.


    Skydistant said in alarm, "This �� This is Divine Dao law! This brat actually already comprehended a Divine Dao law! Furthermore, it''s even the extremely profound divine soul law! Truly inconceivable!"


    Ye Yuan sunk his entire mind into the Evil Extermination Divine Sword, attempting to find that trace of resonance.


    But he discovered to his dismay that this was really not that easy of a thing.


    Ye Yuan felt like he had arrived inside a vast expanse of the universe by himself. It was easier said than done than wanting to search for that trace of resonance inside this universe.


    No wonder Skydistant said that without ten or eight years of work, even entering the door was hard.


    From Ye Yuan''s view, Skydistant''s way of saying was likely still somewhat conservative.


    Losing one''s self inside this universe, one might even be unable to find that trace of resonance for all their lives.


    "What in the world is this resonance? How can one arouse the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s resonance?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that he really thought things too simple!


    He thought that since the Evil Extermination Divine Sword took the initiative to acknowledge him as master, finding the resonance should be something easily accomplished.


    But now, Ye Yuan sunk his mind inside it and discovered that he completely could not obtain a trace of the divine sword''s response.


    Seemed like it acknowledging him as its master was merely just because he was the Son of Heaven''s Mandate. Or perhaps, it was merely because he possessed the Vast Heaven Stele.


    Wanting to obtain the divine sword''s acknowledgment was completely not such an easy thing, let alone producing a resonance with it.


    One had to know that the divine sword''s previous owner was a peerless powerhouse, the likes of Absolute Heaven. Its view was naturally incomparably critical.


    Wanting to obtain its recognition was indeed not an easy matter.


    If one did not have any extraordinary aspect, they could probably forget about ever producing a resonance with it.


    "Seems like I have to do a little something before I can obtain the divine sword''s recognition!" Ye Yuan thought to himself.


    Thinking this through, Ye Yuan''s state of mind calmed down instead.


    In this word, there was no baseless love, and also no groundless hatred.


    Since the divine sword had a spirit, it naturally would not acknowledge a stranger without rhyme or reason, and it produced a resonance with him.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan had indeed neglected the divine sword''s feelings, merely treating it as a sharp tool.


    Even he himself did not acknowledge the divine sword, on what basis should the divine sword acknowledge him?


    Therefore, that was how Skydistant was able to call it away so easily.


    Because, to the divine sword, the relationship between Skydistant and it was even a little more cordial compared to Ye Yuan, its owner.


    Perhaps it was because of his profession, Ye Yuan''s attitude towards weapons was far from comparable to medicinal cauldrons.


    With this communication, it was five days and nights.


    In the five days, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle. He was attempting to understanding Evil Extermination bit by bit, getting Evil Extermination''s recognition.


    However, Evil Extermination still did not have any stirring.


    Ye Yuan was still seemingly situated inside the universe, all alone by himself.


    Skydistant did not interrupt Ye Yuan. He just watched him quietly like this.


    Skydistant knew that Ye Yuan would ultimately still end in failure.


    "Heh heh, although this brat''s soul force is very strong, it should also pretty much reach the limits already, right? Communicating with a divine artifact, being able to do it to this extent, it is already very impressive," Skydistant said coolly.


    The Deity Realm was another level. Even if it was a divine artifact, it was extremely taxing on the mind for Dao Profound Realm martial artists to communicate with it too.


    For ordinary martial artists, being able to communicate with Evil Extermination for a day and night like this was most likely somewhat biting off more than they could chew.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to communicate for five days and nights in one go, it was already several times that of an average person.


    Skydistant could sense that Ye Yuan''s soul force consumption was already right about there too.


    But right at this time, Skydistant''s pair of eyes suddenly constricted, as if he saw something inconceivable.


    "This �� How is this possible?" Skydistant exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his state of mind like an old well without ripples as he said indifferently, "A simple life shows high goals in life, tranquility leads to distance, I �� understand!"

 1115 Enlightenmen

    "You actually �� reached the perfection of heart realm?" Skydistant was greatly shocked.


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan''s Heaven Man Unity finally reached the realm of great circle of perfection!


    To the average martial artist, the great circle of perfection heart realm was the hardest step.


    But Ye Yuan was just Fourth Level Dao Profound, and he did it.


    Heart realm perfection was a requisite condition for breaking through to the Deity Realm. Without this step, wanting to break through to the Deity Realm was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Skydistant was all too clear that even in the Divine Dao Era, the powerhouses being blocked outside the great door of Deity Realm by heart realm could easily be found too.


    However, Ye Yuan accomplished it just like that!


    Ye Yuan lightly caressed the Evil Extermination Divine Sword and said with a calm look, "The more one pursues, the more one cannot obtain it. Only with indifference to fame and wealth, serenity, and an enlightened mind, can it be achieved when the conditions are ripe. Evil Extermination, do you think that what I said is correct?"


    Hum ��


    Seemingly replying to Ye Yuan''s words, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword emitted a light sword humming sound.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Evil Extermination, thank you!"


    Hum ��


    Another wave of acoustic resonance.


    Although Skydistant''s expression could not be seen, he must be very amazed right now.


    "You �� You actually obtained Evil Extermination''s recognition! It actually �� only took five days'' time!" Skydistant''s astonishment could not be any greater.


    Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s recognition was the first step to producing resonance, and also the most crucial step.


    Five days ago, he still said that without eight to ten years'' time, it would be hard for Ye Yuan to even learn the rudiments.


    But now, Ye Yuan only used five days'' time and already obtained the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s recognition.


    However, Skydistant understood what was going on.


    Ye Yuan''s talent was too monstrous!


    In a mere five days, Ye Yuan gave rise to enlightenment; his heart realm was cultivated to the level of great circle of perfection. This was simply not what an ordinary person could achieve.


    The Son of Heaven''s Mandate, this term of address, Ye Yuan was fully deserving of it.


    Since Ye Yuan exhibited his strength that surpassed the rest, winning the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s recognition was naturally not something difficult.


    Murmur . ..


    Ye Yuan was currently communicating with the Evil Extermination Divine Sword when all of a sudden, countless images poured into his mind.


    Ye Yuan''s body suddenly trembled, feeling like his head was going to explode.


    Skydistant was startled again and said, "Evil Extermination, you actually took the initiative to want to produce a resonance with this brat? T-Truly inconceivable! Looks like in your eyes, this brat completely has the ability to replace Absolute Heaven''s position!"


    Wanting to reach resonance, one must first obtain the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s recognition, and could only produce a resonance at the next step.


    But now, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword actually took the initiative to throw out an olive branch, and help Ye Yuan produce a resonance.


    Skydistant was shocked by Evil Extermination''s action.


    Hum ��


    Another series of light humming, seemingly replying to Skydistant''s astonishment.


    Skydistant sighed slightly and said, "What you said is right. Currently, it''s already not the Heaven One Sect''s era and also not Absolute Heaven''s era anymore! Wallowing in the past splendor doesn''t help the situation. Holy Mother and Kanuo coming into being at the same time, the perils of this age is probably even greater than in the past. This brat''s talent is truly terrifying. In the future, his accomplishments might not be worse than Absolute Heaven''s. You following him, perhaps you''ll be able to climb to the apex once again in the future!"


    Being assaulted by countless images, Ye Yuan''s mind felt like it was about to explode.


    These were all the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s memory fragments!


    Only by spending an entire day''s time did Ye Yuan finish sorting out this massive amount of information.


    One image after another flashed inside Ye Yuan''s mind. Those were all scenes together with Absolute Heaven.


    The Evil Extermination Sword and Absolute Heaven experienced a great battle after another together, and finally reached the summit of the Divine Realm.


    Later on, it was they who battled the fiend race together, and experienced hardships and dangers, before Absolute Heaven finally sealed the Holy Mother Devil Flower in the Immemorial Medicine Garden.


    But this time, Absolute Heaven left it in the Immemorial Medicine Garden!


    Ye Yuan even found himself at the last of the images. That was the scene of him in a bloody battle with the Holy Mother Devil Flower as well as Jia Lan.


    Turned out that all of these, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword took it into its sight.


    For it to choose to acknowledge as master, his life-and-death battle with the fiend race was likely a very important reason too, right?


    If he was a guy who did not undertake the responsibility, even if he had the Vast Heaven Stele, Evil Extermination would probably not acknowledge him as master either.


    "Sword intent soaring to the sky, evil can never prevail over good! The heart of a gentleman is broadminded, the path of Sword Dao connecting to the heavens! Evil Extermination, rest assured, even if I perish in the end, my Dao disappearing, I''ll also utterly eradicate the fiend race! From henceforth, you and I will join hands and exterminate the evils of this world fully!" Ye Yuan said heroically.


    As if sensing Ye Yuan''s valiantness, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword started vibrating intensely in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Ye Yuan grasped the sword hilt. Suddenly, a series of golden characters converged into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness!


    Divine inscriptions!


    A hint of enlightenment was produced in Ye Yuan''s heart. These divine inscriptions were the crux of wielding the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.


    Feeling the sense of intimacy coming off of the Evil Extermination Sword, Ye Yuan felt that they were like old friends who had not met for many years.


    While the deep aura of having experienced the many vicissitudes of life made Ye Yuan sense the extensive and profoundness of Sword Dao.


    The Azure Dipper Floating Zero Supreme True Intent that he comprehended was weak as a little child that was learning how to walk in front of this aura.


    This was the aura of the source of Great Dao!


    This was the aura of Divine Dao laws!


    Same as when he saw the Medicine God''s Soul Canon for the first time back then, Ye Yuan had a feeling of being petrified.


    Being assaulted by this grand aura, Ye Yuan heart instantly gave rise to enlightenment!


    His Sword Dao Supreme True Intent actually suddenly saw the light just like that, and reached the great circle of perfection!


    "So that''s how it is! Supreme true intents are merely a prerequisite for unlocking the source of Great Dao. Only by cultivating a supreme true intent to the realm of perfection, can one use it as a guide to comprehend the source of Great Dao!" Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and sighed with admiration.


    Skydistant looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost and exclaimed in shock, "You, brat, are simply a freak! Comprehending Divine Dao laws, the hardest is crossing the threshold. Even by cultivating supreme true intent to the realm of perfection, wanting to comprehend Divine Dao laws got to look at lucky chances too. I didn''t think that you actually directly crossed the threshold after obtaining divine inscriptions!"


    The shock that Ye Yuan brought to Skydistant was seriously overly intense.


    What divine inscriptions represented were exceedingly profound power of source laws.


    What Dao Profound Realm martial artists comprehended was merely some branch of the source power.


    Wanting to comprehend the source through this subfield, this required a tremendous opportunity.


    This turning point, the vast majority of the people could not obtain it for all their lives.


    But Ye Yuan actually gained enlightenment just like that under the impact of the divine inscriptions earlier!


    Even though what Ye Yuan comprehended was still very shallow, once he opened up this gate, the road at the back would be much easier to walk.


    This was Ye Yuan''s second time comprehending divine inscriptions. The acquired the Medicine God''s Soul Canon''s divine inscriptions for a very long time but kept failing to cross the threshold.


    All the way until he broke through to the Dao Profound Realm, it was when refining a Tier 9 medicinal pill did he comprehend it, stepping into the gates of Divine Dao laws.


    But this time, Ye Yuan even directly comprehended the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s Sword Dao source power!

 1116 Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!

    "Divine Dao laws are indeed extensive and profound. I thought that my comprehension in Sword Dao was already very high. But only now did I know that I haven''t even learned the rudiments!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion


    Ye Yuan''s talent in Sword Dao was exceptionally strong. This point, even the Extreme Sword Divine King was ashamed of his own inferiority too.


    After reviving, Ye Yuan''s path in Sword Dao was smooth-sailing and virtually did not encounter any obstacles.


    In a short 20 over years'' time, Ye Yuan already comprehended the supreme true intent to rank nine. It could not be said to not be strong.


    But just now, only when he sensed the Sword Dao power of laws inscribed in the divine inscription did he know how superficial he was.


    The path of Divine Dao was the true Great Dao.


    "That is, of course! Absolute Heaven was a Sword Dao great master. His Sword Dao attainments reached the acme of perfection. The divine inscriptions that you sensed are called Evil Extermination Sword Formula. It''s merely the spell that he used to activate the Evil Extermination Sword," Skydistant said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his heart could not help yearning for it too. Absolute Heaven was truly a staggering great talent.


    "Then �� I wonder if Senior Absolute Heaven''s Sword Dao comprehensions still exist in this world!" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Skydistant chuckled when he heard that and said, "Brat, you''re sitting on a treasure mountain but are unaware of it!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior is talking about �� the Vast Heaven Stele?"


    "That''s right! With your current realm, you can only barely manage to activate the Vast Heaven Stele. When you step into the Deity Realm, you''ll discover what kind of existence the Vast Heaven Stele is," Skydistant said.


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he asked, "Senior, just what kind of an existence is this Vast Heaven Stele?"


    When Skydistant heard, he could not help falling silent for a bit, before saying, "The Vast Heaven Stele is a marvelous foreign treasure. Just what kind of existence it is, even Absolute Heaven couldn''t explain it either. But comprehending Great Dao source laws through the Vast Heaven Stele yields twice the results with half the effort. Back then, Absolute Heaven was only able to overpower the other two sects and achieve supremacy in the Divine Realm because of its help. It''s just a pity that he was still ruined at the hands of the fiend race in the end."


    Hearing Skydistant''s words, Ye Yuan was endlessly alarmed.


    This was Skydistant''s second time mentioning marvelous foreign treasure. Hearing the meaning in these words, the Vast Heaven Stele did not seem to be an object of the Divine Realm.


    Furthermore, the Vast Heaven Stele''s power seemed to be even more greater than the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.


    "Junior, the Vast Heaven Stele can not only help martial artists comprehend Divine Dao laws, but it''s also a strong offensive weapon. I have a set of controlling magic arts called Vast Heaven Chaos Spell. Take it and study it well. The power can naturally multiply! It''s just that this spell, I only know the first half. The other half was brought into the coffin by Absolute Heaven. However, if you can break through to Deity Realm, you can naturally study the second-half portion. Because he comprehended it from within the Vast Heaven Stele too," Skydistant continued explaining, as Ye Yuan was in shock.


    A series of golden characters flowed out from within the darkness and entered Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    These divine inscriptions were not long, but Ye Yuan also felt the extensiveness and profoundness.


    "Many thanks, Senior!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    Skydistant said, "Heavenly Dao is already gone. Just based on you comprehending on your own, there''s completely no way of controlling the Vast Heaven Stele. Facing the Holy Mother and Kanuo, you have no chances of victory at all. Since you''re this era''s Son of Heaven''s Mandate, I can naturally help you out. I still have a cultivation method here. If cultivated to the limits, myriad laws are unable to infringe!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he was immediately very interested.


    Skydistant was born from the Black Tortoise Clan among the Four Great Divine Beasts, while the Black Tortoise Clan was precisely world-renowned for having extremely strong defense.


    Even though the Black Tortoise Clan had already declined, it was an extremely powerful clan in the Divine Dao Era.


    Legends said that in the Divine Dao Era, the Black Tortoise Clan had a Divine Dao cultivation method called Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art. It could train the fleshy body to a realm where myriad laws could not taint it, extremely terrifying.


    It was just that this cultivation method was already lost for goodness knows how many tens of thousands of years.


    Could it be that what Skydistant was going to impart him was this cultivation method?


    "Could the cultivation method that Senior be talking about be the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art?" Ye Yuan asked with some agitation.


    This cultivation method was an exceedingly powerful divine art and also the first true Martial Dao Divine Art that Ye Yuan cultivated!


    As for the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, it was just an Alchemy Dao Divine Art. Its assistance towards the Martial Dao was not very great.


    While the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was also only the first half, and it did not have the divine inscriptions'' portion. Although strong, the potential was very limited.


    Even though Spirit Bristle that fellow''s relationship with him was pretty good, divine inscriptions were of vital importance. He might not be willing to give to him.


    If it was the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art, then Ye Yuan really picked up a treasure.


    Skydistant said, "That''s right! It''s precisely the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art! This cultivation method was created by Ancestor Black Tortoise, its might is boundless. Cultivating to the limits, one can use the power of the fleshy body to shatter the firmament with force! Back then, even though Zuo Zong was powerful, he could not breach this lord''s defenses at all. Hence, that''s why he would suppress this lord here! It''s a pity that this lord didn''t break through the seventh level of the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art back then. Otherwise, how could it come to Zuo Zong, that punk, to destroy the Heaven One Sect?"


    Skydistant''s words made Ye Yuan''s pupils constrict.


    Seventh Level only cultivated to the seventh level boundary of the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art, and an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse actually could not break his defenses!


    Such defensive ability could simply be rated as perverse!


    Along with the understanding of Deity Realm, Ye Yuan already knew the terror of Origin Deity Realms.


    After Absolute Heaven, Zuo Zong could be said to be the Divine Dao''s number one person.


    Even so, he could not breach Skydistant''s defense too.


    The prowess of this cultivation method could be seen at a glance!


    Swoosh!


    A stream of flowing light flew out from within the darkness. Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed, clutching that stream of flowing light in his hand.


    Focusing his eyes to look, it turned out that it was a tiny little tortoise shell.


    This little tortoise shell appeared as a dark-green color. An undulation that made people''s hearts palpitate faintly transmitted from it, extremely profound.


    "I''ll impart you the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art''s Human Path cultivation method first. You have a primeval dragon bone in your body, and your fleshy body is already very powerful. Cultivating this Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art will yield twice the results with half the effort. When you cultivate the Human Path cultivation method to the great circle of perfection, you can study the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell. The Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art is on this Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell!" Skydistant said.


    Done talking, a set of cultivation method was imprinted in Ye Yuan''s mind. It was precisely the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art''s Human Path section.


    Ye Yuan roughly skimmed through this Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art''s Human Path section, and discovered that it was actually much more profound than the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art!


    It seemed like the grade of this cultivation method was likely even far above the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    These Four Great Divine Beasts'' founding ancestors were truly incomparably formidable figures. The cultivation methods that passed down, even their descendants could not cultivate them to the highest realm.


    It could be seen that these four great founding ancestors were figures that rocked the heavens and shook the earth.


    But this cultivation method primarily cultivated the fleshy body. It did not clash with the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, and he put the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell away. Clasping his hands at Skydistant, he said, "Senior''s great kindness, Ye Yuan will forget it! I wonder if there''s a way to let senior out?"


    "Heh, you have the heart! However, unless you can cultivate to Origin Deity Realm, otherwise, there''s no way of breaking apart the restrictions that Zuo Zong laid down," Skydistant said.

 1117 Battling Zhao Lingdong!

    At the fourth level, the entrance area that led to the fifth level.


    Three figures were currently sitting with crossed legs, plus a dog.


    These three people were naturally the Mo Datong and Mo Santong of the Devil Ridge Three Freaks, as well as Zhao Lingdong.


    The three of them had already guarded here for over a month, but Ye Yuan kept failing to show up.


    Currently, Mo Datong was very agitated. He could not resist standing up and pacing around back and forth, looking over to the exit from time to time.


    "Half a year''s time is going to be up soon. Could it be that this brat really wants to die inside?" Mo Datong said in a cold voice.


    Each time the Bloodrain Wilderness''s passageway opened was only half a year''s time. Once half a year was up, the passageway would automatically close. The restrictions would activate, eliminating all of the outsiders that did not belong to the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Seeing as half a year''s time was reaching bit by bit, Mo Datong was burning with anxiety.


    Although he very much hoped for Ye Yuan to die right inside, not seeing Ye Yuan''s corpse, he still could not set his mind at ease in the end.


    But Zhao Lingdong was much calmer than him and said indifferently, "Ye Yuan not coming out, you should be happy instead! Rushing from here to the first level, even if he spared no effort to press on with the journey, he''d need around ten days too! As long as we wait until the last ten days, he''ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings!"


    But Mo Datong was not happy at all. Instead, he stomped his foot angrily and said, "Not being able to personally kill that brat, I''m truly not reconciled to it!"


    Mo Santong also gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "This brat killed Second Brother. Not being able to take revenge for Second Brother personally, it''s not satisfactory!"


    Zhao Lingdong''s expression turned cold, and he said, "Humph! You guys don''t forget, what''s the objective of coming here? You guys are here to kill the Son of Heaven''s Mandate, not to take revenge for Mo Ertong! Compared to you guys, I believe in this Bloodrain Wilderness''s restriction power more! It''s much more reliable for this restriction power to kill him compared to us taking action!"


    Zhao Lingdong had laid undercover in the Holy City for many years and was all too clear about the Bloodrain Wilderness''s restriction power.


    Even Zhuge Qingxuan that level of existence, if he did not come out in half a year, he would still immediately be annihilated, let alone a measly little Ji Qingyun.


    There was still the last three days from the ten days cutoff. As long as three more days passed, even if Ye Yuan had the ability to connect to the heavens, it would be impossible to escape too.


    Mo Datong''s face fell, and he was just about to refute when suddenly, a terrifying energy undulation came from the depths of the Bloodrain Wilderness!


    All of a sudden, two light beams came out from within the void.


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Mo Datong and Mo Santong had yet to figure out what was happening and were directly blasted to residue!


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingdong''s eyes became wide-saucers, not daring to believe everything that happened before his eyes at all.


    This unforeseen event was too sudden, resulting in Zhao Lingdong''s brain to somewhat short-circuit, completely not understanding what happened.


    He was certain that those two light beams earlier were absolutely not the Bloodrain Wilderness''s restriction power.


    However, if it was not the restriction power, who had the divine might to be able to instantly one-shot Mo Datong and Mo Santong, these two great Void Mystic powerhouses?"


    Gulp ��


    Zhao Lingdong could not refrain from swallowing a mouthful of saliva, feeling like his scalp was about to explode.


    He could clearly sense that if those two light beams hit him, his outcome would be exactly the same as the Mo Brothers!


    Swoosh, swoosh ��


    The two divine artifacts that lost their owners escaped through the void just like that.


    Zhao Lingdong could not resist taking two steps back. He wanted to flee!


    But fleeing just like that?


    There were still three days to go. Perhaps Ye Yuan would show up at this time?


    As if it was affirming exactly what he thought, there was a ripple in the void. A figure appeared.


    This person was currently looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Zhao Lingdong''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan did not come out from the transmission array, but directly shuttled through the void and arrived!


    This �� How was this possible?


    Without the Spirithorn Shattering Mirror, how did Ye Yuan do it?


    "What? Are you very surprised to see me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Zhao Lingdong''s state of mind was already utterly messed up. He suddenly thought of a legend regarding the Bloodrain Wilderness in the Holy City.


    Legends had it that under the Bloodrain Wilderness''s seventh level, suppressed a terrifying existence.


    That terrifying existence was the true sovereign of the Bloodrain Wilderness!


    Back then, Zhuge Qingxuan charged into the Bloodrain Wilderness''s sixth level because he wished to meet with that legendary existence, wanting to seek that trace of lucky chance to become a deity.


    However, he returned in defeat at the sixth level.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan actually went down to the seventh level?


    Zhao Lingdong was taken aback with fright by his idea. This was simply something impossible.


    But apart from that existence in the seventh level, who else had the capability to let Ye Yuan directly shuttle through the void and arrive?


    Zhao Lingdong forcefully resisted the impulse to escape and asked with a rather guilty conscience, "You �� How did you accomplish shuttling through the void?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Want to know? Have a battle with me. Beat me, and I''ll tell you."


    Zhao Lingdong''s face fell, uncertain where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    If it were in the past, he would definitely scoff in contempt towards Ye Yuan''s action.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength was decent, facing him and Howlsky''s teaming-up, there was no chance of victory at all!


    But seeing Mo Datong and Mo Santong''s bizarre death, as well as Ye Yuan''s strange appearance, Zhao Lingdong became somewhat uncertain.


    "If �� I don''t fight with you?!"


    When he uttered this sentence, Zhao Lingdong was aggrieved to the max.


    But he kept feeling that Ye Yuan had some reliance!


    Not that he felt that Ye Yuan''s strength was very powerful, but those two light beams earlier made him endlessly fearful.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "You can give it a try! Sparing you from death is only to use you for testing my sword."


    Zhao Lingdong''s heart thumped, thinking to himself that it was indeed so!


    Those two light beams definitely had the ability to exterminate him.


    However, they only killed the Mo Datong and Mo Santong, who possessed divine artifacts. Leaving him behind really just seemed to be in order to let Ye Yuan try his sword!


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Lingdong no longer had any thought of getting lucky in his heart.


    Those two formidable light beams were not fake!


    If he wanted to escape, it would definitely be a one-way ticket to hell!


    But thinking up to here, Zhao Lingdong laughed coldly and looked at Ye Yuan as he said, "Do you think that by breaking through a minor realm, you can overturn the heavens? Just based on your current strength, could it be that you wish to fight one-on-two, dealing with Howlsky and me, two people, at the same time?"


    The current Ye Yuan already broke through a minor realm, breaking through from Fourth Level Dao Profound to Fifth Level Dao Profound.


    Although Howling Sky Divine Hound had a wing chopped off by Ye Yuan, its strength was still there. It was just that its speed was greatly diminished.


    If it really wanted to fight a positional warfare, the influence of speed was negligible.


    With its tacit cooperation with Howlsky, wouldn''t dealing with a Fifth Level Dao Profound martial artist be effortless?


    Zhao Lingdong made a name for himself for a thousand years and had yet to be looked down upon by someone like this before!


    Could it be that this brat already forgot the experience of being hunted down previously?


    A short one month plus time, could this brat still have some heaven-defying improvement?


    He, Zhao Lingdong, truly did not believe in this heresy!


    But Ye Yuan pulled out the Evil Extermination Divine Sword calmly and said with a light smile, "That''s right! What''s the harm in fighting one versus two?!"

 1118 Clearing the Weeds and Preserving the Essence!

    "What? You''re already formidable to the extent that you can defeat me without using divine king domain?"


    Currently, although Ye Yuan took out the Evil Extermination Divine Sword, he did not use his divine king domain.


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingdong mocked even more incessantly.


    If it was just aiming at Ye Yuan, Zhao Lingdong had enough assurance in striking him dead.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually pretended to be mysterious in front of him. Simply laughable to the max!


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Killing you, this is sufficient!"


    The moment Zhao Lingdong heard this, he could not quite dare to believe his ears and let out a wild laugh. He said, "Ji brat, I know that you have some reliance behind you, but if you think that you can kill me by holding a divine artifact, I can only say �� conceited and ignorant!"


    Ye Yuan said with a calm look, "Use your strongest attack. Otherwise, you won''t have the chance!"


    Zhao Lingdong laughed mockingly and said, "You''re teasing me, right? With just the likes of you? Fine, since you want to take a look at my strongest attack, then I''ll let you take a look! Howlsky!"


    While talking, Zhao Lingdong directly turned into a large dog.


    Immediately after, his divine king domain opened up fully!


    However, what was different from the past was that the Howling Sky Divine Hound directly tunneled into Zhao Lingdong''s divine king domain and laid prone on his back.


    This scene was remarkably like colluding in doing evil.


    In virtually an instant, Zhao Lingdong''s divine king domain increased sharply close to a thousand feet!


    This one human and one dog''s divine king domain were actually able to superimpose!


    With this superimposition, Zhao Lingdong''s divine king domain expanded to 2500 over feet all at once; its power increased greatly.


    To Void Mystic powerhouses, the divine king domain skyrocketing a thousand feet in one go, the strength could be said to soar by leaps and bounds!


    "Ji brat, prepare to die! Fierce Wind Absolute Domain!"


    Zhao Lingdong had a savage expression, seemingly incarnating to become a sea of wind between this heaven and earth.


    Countless wind blades were akin to little blades, virtually slicing the space into countless fragments.


    The might of a Void Mystic powerhouse was displayed in its entirety at this moment.


    Ye Yuan, on the other hand, stood while grasping his sword. He actually slowly shut his eyes, as if paying no heed to the powerful Zhao Lingdong.


    In a blink, Zhao Lingdong''s Fierce Wind Absolute Domain enveloped Ye Yuan inside!


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter his divine king domain without the slightest resistance, a hint of a mocking expression flickered across the corners of Zhao Lingdong''s mouth.


    Ye Yuan''s Evil Extermination sword, Zhao Lingdong had long had a taste of it. Although it was able to have an augmenting effect on Ye Yuan''s divine king domain, using it to deal with him, was still too tender.


    Especially when right now was still him and Howlsky''s divine king domain superimposing!


    The two of their minds becoming one was not just one plus one equals two that simple.


    Ye Yuan''s actions were undoubtedly courting death!


    But very soon, Zhao Lingdong''s mocking expression froze on his face.


    Because he could not find Ye Yuan''s traces within his divine king domain at all!


    Ye Yuan completely did not use divine king domain to contend with him!


    "Are you looking for me?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice slowly sounded out behind Zhao Lingdong, but it made his scalp tingle.


    He was alarmed in his heart and hurriedly turned his head over, and could not help turning pale with fright.


    "Merging into heaven and earth? Impossible! Even if you merged into heaven and earth, it''s impossible for me to not find you! Could it be �� could it be that you broke through again?"


    Zhao Lingdong looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost, with a look of disbelief.


    The breakthrough of heart realm was far too difficult. But why did Ye Yuan break through like eating and drinking?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "That''s right, my Heaven Man Unity has already reached the realm of perfection! In addition, I had some comprehensions in sword intent. This sword, you �� receive it well! Evil Extermination Sword Formula, first level, Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan turned his hand over. The Evil Extermination Divine Sword suddenly made a great show of invincible might!


    At this instant, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword seemed to have come to life, having quite the air of when it just came into being at the Immemorial Medicine Garden back then.


    Clearly a sword, but it was akin to a divinity descending!


    Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingdong''s expression changed greatly.


    In Ye Yuan''s hands was clearly still that Evil Extermination Sword. But why did it seem to have cast off its old self and underwent a complete transformation with a few days of not seeing?


    In the past, although the Evil Extermination Sword was powerful, it was merely a slightly sharper fine tool.


    But now, this sword seemed to have become a peerless expert.


    It �� was just the incarnation of sword intent!


    Whoosh!


    At this instant, Ye Yuan seemingly combined into one with Evil Extermination. A sword stabbed right onto the Fierce Wind Absolute Domain!


    Rumble!


    The originally appropriately shaped Fierce Wind Absolute Domain became oval-shaped in this instant, directly being crushed out of shape by the immense force!


    Force penetrating the back of the paper!


    The violent sword intent passed right through the divine king domain and wreaked havoc in the entire space.


    "Puhwark!"


    It was as if Zhao Lingdong was struck by the tremendous force, directly spewing out a large mouthful of fresh blood.


    Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s sword intent penetrated right through the divine king domain and struck right onto Zhao Lingdong''s body.


    This move of Ye Yuan''s dealt with a greater force by using a weaker force!


    Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s sword intent was already inscribed inside. Ye Yuan directly unleashed the sword intent belonging to Divine Dao by employing the Evil Extermination Sword Formula.


    The truly formidable aspect of divine artifact lay precisely here!


    The current Ye Yuan was seemingly a sword deity descending upon the world, standing in the air. That aura truly showed disdain on all under the heavens.


    "Clearing the weeds and preserving the essence, Senior Skydistant didn''t deceive me! A bird in the hand is worth more than 10 birds in the forest! Looks like the previous me went astray!" Ye Yuan said rather emotionally.


    Zhao Lingdong and Howlsky rolled in midair for as far as 10 thousand feet before barely managing to stabilize their figures.


    He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief with a look of incredulity.


    The Divine Dao sword intent that Ye Yuan unleashed already severely wounded his organs.


    Zhao Lingdong was completely unable to understand. Ye Yuan did not even utilize divine king domain at all and already utterly trounced him!


    "What the hell did you comprehend in this period of time!" Zhao Lingdong said with the unwillingness to yield.


    Ye Yuan''s means completely subverted the understanding of normal Void Mystic powerhouses!


    In the present Divine Realm, what was able to deal with divine king domains were only divine king domains!


    But Ye Yuan did not unleash his divine king domain!


    Ye Yuan shot him a pitying glance and said coolly, "The Great Dao of Sword, what it pays particular attention to is pureness and innocence. Although the power of domain is strong, under this present heaven and earth, it''s an aberrant existence. Forget it, you''re not worthy of debating on Dao with me. Send you on your way first!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned intent. That multiple bursts of terrifying Divine Dao laws were unleashed once more!


    Zhao Lingdong''s gaze turned sharp, wanting to wage a last-ditch struggle.


    However, all of it was futile!


    The sword intent belonging to Divine Dao directly crushed over!


    Puchi!


    A sword that swept all obstacles away. Zhao Lingdong, who was a spent force, was completely unable to resist.


    But what made Ye Yuan rather surprised was that who this sword pierced through was not Zhao Lingdong but his spirit beast, the Howling Sky Divine Hound!


    At the critical moment, the Howling Sky Divine Hound''s figure moved, and it blocked right in front of Zhao Lingdong.


    This sword passed through it without any accidents!


    "Awoo!"


    A forlorn and bitter yelp transmitted over. The violent sword intent directly destroyed all of Howlsky''s vitality.


    However, it was not over yet!


    The Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s sword intent had yet to be depleted. Like sugarcoated haws on a stick, it pierced through Zhao Lingdong''s chest!Unfortunately, it sounds weird because it''s a wordplay on an idiom, which isn''t translatable.Idiom about calligraphy

 1119 Preliminary Glimpse at the Door

    "D-Divine Dao laws!"


    Zhao Lingdong''s gaze looked towards Ye Yuan, still not daring to believe this conclusion.


    The might of this sword was actually horrifyingly powerful!


    A majority of the force was blocked by Howlsky; Zhao Lingdong''s vital signs did not extinguish right away.


    However, the Evil Extermination Sword''s tyrannical sword energy was currently wreaking havoc inside his body.


    The name "Evil Extermination" was not called in vain. Dealing with Zhao Lingdong this fiend, Evil Extermination''s awe-inspiring sword energy was the most useful.


    This was also the reason why Absolute Heaven hid it inside the Immemorial Medicine Garden back then.


    Bang!


    Zhao Lingdong''s body toppled heavily onto the ground, while his hands were still hugging the Howling Sky Divine Hound tightly, his eyes filled with a look of tender love.


    This pair was also considered affectionate and faithful.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not have any intention of taking pity on them.


    "If not for the fiend race being consumed by ambition, you guys also wouldn''t have the current outcome! Therefore, want to blame, blame that Divine Master behind you all!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Zhao Lingdong looked at Ye Yuan and said with an icy-cold gaze, "For the sake of this lifetime, Lord Divine Master has already prepared for 10 thousand years! Even if you kill me, your human race has no chance at all too! H-Hahaha!"


    Talking till the end, Zhao Lingdong let out a wild laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened, and he directly killed Zhao Lingdong.


    These few days'' comprehension, Ye Yuan was finally considered to have learned the rudiments in the Evil Extermination Sword Formula. He was able to utilize 5% of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s power.


    But just this 5% power was already incredibly staggering!


    The might of Deity Realm powerhouses was truly unimaginable.


    Recalling the days when he used the Evil Extermination Sword and Sacred Dragon Token, it was truly weak to the max.


    Divine Dao laws were the correct way to use divine artifacts!


    These few days, under Skydistant''s guidance, Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao comprehension also obtained significant improvement.


    Skydistant told him that his divine king domain was too motley.


    Although it could let strength increase greatly within a short period, and was even able to leap realms to battle, in the long-run, the losses outweighed the gains.


    Divine Dao powerhouses basically all specialized in one path, comprehending the source of Great Dao, comprehending the power of laws.


    Motley concepts mixing together would affect the comprehension of the source.


    Hence, Ye Yuan relied on great willpower and shattered his divine king domain, specializing in Sword Dao!


    After specializing in Sword Dao, Ye Yuan discovered that his speed of comprehending the Evil Extermination Sword Formula indeed increased considerably.


    The first level of the Evil Extermination Sword Formula, Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity, Ye Yuan finally fumbled out the way to do it.


    Activating the power of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword, its might was truly unparalleled.


    Even the veteran Void Mystic powerhouse, Zhao Lingdong, died under his sword too.


    Furthermore, it was even under the circumstances of superimposing divine king domains with the Howling Sky Divine Hound.


    The Slaughter Concept and Concept of Fire really delayed his speed of comprehension from a certain degree.


    By relying on the power of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword, Ye Yuan''s strength currently was even one-up stronger than those Void Mystic powerhouses!.


    ...


    At the entrance area of the Bloodrain Wilderness at the Heavenly Saint Tower, Cloudsky brought along several people and was currently staring at the transmission array with a complicated expression.


    "Lord Cloudsky, there''s still one last day. Do you think �� Ji Qingyun died inside?"


    Guo Xu''s mood was still rather complicated. He naturally hoped for Ye Yuan to die in the Bloodrain Wilderness, but also felt that once Ye Yuan died, he would have one less opponent; very boring.


    But in the end, he still hoped for Ye Yuan to die inside more.


    Because the humiliation that Ye Yuan brought to him was too much!


    From past life to this life, Ye Yuan had always been a great mountain crushing on top of him.


    Cloudsky''s expression was complicated. Thinking it over, he still said, "Logically speaking, Ji brat won''t die inside. But ��"


    Guo Xu also frowned and said, "There''s still Lord Spirit Hound. He wouldn''t accompany Ji Qingyun to mess around inside too, right?"


    Cloudsky also shook his head and said, "No way! Zhao Lingdong''s strength, I''m still very clear. If he doesn''t let Ji brat enter the fifth level, it''s absolutely impossible for Ji brat to go in! Could it be that some unforeseen event really happened to them inside?"


    Thinking it over and over, Cloudsky could not figure out the reason why as well.


    There was only the greater half a day''s time from the closing of the passageway. If Ye Yuan wanted to come out, he should have come out long ago.


    But up until now, Ye Yuan did not even show up. It involuntarily made him somewhat hesitant.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was the son of heaven''s mandate. It should not be possible to die in the Bloodrain Wilderness, this sort of place.


    But why had he still not showed up until now?


    The two people were currently talking when a series of ripples came from the transmission array.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Seeing Ye Yuan appear, a look of disappointment in Guo Xu''s eyes flickered past.


    But Guo Xu''s gaze passed through Ye Yuan and looked towards the transmission array.


    After a long time, the transmission array still did not have activities.


    With this, Cloudsky''s brows knitted together, and he questioned, "Ji Qingyun, where''s Elder Spirit Hound?"


    Thud!


    A dull sound echoed out. Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, directly throwing out Zhao Lingdong and Howlsky''s corpses.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically. The atmosphere immediately became strange.


    "Ji brat, what''s the meaning of this?! This lord let you, an outsider, enter the Bloodrain Wilderness unprecedentedly. You actually repaid kindness with ingratitude and killed our elder?" Cloudsky''s expression changed, interrogating.


    The wounds on Zhao Lingdong''s body were clearly caused by a sharp instrument.


    In the entire Bloodrain Wilderness, there was only Ye Yuan and Zhao Lingdong left. Who killed if it was not Ye Yuan who killed?


    It was just that the astonishment in Cloudsky''s heart surpassed even his fury.


    How Zhao Lingdong''s strength was like, he was all too clear.


    In addition to Howlsky, ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses were not a match at all.


    However, he and Howlsky actually died under Ye Yuan''s sword at the same time. What did this indicate?


    It showed that Ye Yuan''s strength already surpassed these two people''s summing up!


    Merely half a year''s time from start to end, how could Ye Yuan''s strength possibly have such a great increment?


    What in the world happened during this Bloodrain Wilderness trip?


    "Ji Qingyun, Elder Spirit Hound escorted you into the fourth level, and you actually killed him! Lord Cloudsky, still talking what nonsense with him? Directly kill and be done with it!" Seeing Zhao Lingdong''s corpse, Guo Xu was beside himself with rage.


    Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to glance at Guo Xu and said to Cloudsky coolly, "No meaning, just helping you all clean your household! This dog-person is a spy of the fiend race!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan casually fired out a spell and got rid of the restriction on Zhao Lingdong''s body. A cloud of fiendish energy billowed to the sky.


    When Cloudsky saw this scene, his expression changed once more.


    "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Ji Qingyun, it must be you playing tricks! Elder Spirit Hound has already been in my Holy City for a thousand years. How can he possibly be a spy of the fiend race?" Guo Xu shouted.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "Impossible? If not for the accident 20 years ago, who could have known that Ji Canglan is a member of the fiend race? The fiend race has clearly plotted for a long time, and was long already able to completely camouflage themselves as humans! It''s still unknown how many of such spies the Eight Great Super Holy Lands have!"

 1120 You Dare to Trick Me?

    Cloudsky gradually recovered from the shocked state and recovered to that appearance of the Holy City''s king.


    "Ji Qingyun, don''t you beguile the minds of people here! Although you and Ji Canglan have an enmity, you shouldn''t slander him like that. You keep harping on and on that he is of the fiend race, I wonder if you have any proof? However, you killing the Holy City''s Elder Spirit Hound is an ironclad truth! My Holy City is the leader of the Divine Realm. How can we allow you to be so insolent?!" Cloudsky''s eyes narrowed slightly as he called to account with a stern voice and countenance.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect for Cloudsky to actually tell bald-faced lies.


    But those present were all the Holy City''s upper echelons. Just the Void Mystic powers numbered quite a few.


    Even if he was lying through his teeth, Ye Yuan could not do anything to him either.


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Cloudsky''s plans. He did not want the matter of the fiend race to leak out and also did not wish to take part in anything that had to do with the fiend race.


    Therefore, even if he knew that Zhao Lingdong was a member of the fiend race, he would not acknowledge it at all.


    As long as he contained the matter to within the Heavenly Saint Tower, everything could be discussed.


    Looking at Cloudsky, Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "Leading the Divine Realm �� the likes of you are worthy too? Your Yu Soul Sect has been shameless for close to a million years. It''s also truly a wonder of the Divine Realm!"


    Before meeting Skydistant, Ye Yuan had that tiny trace of hope towards the Holy City.


    But now, Ye Yuan was disinclined to have even a hint of a favorable opinion.


    This sect was simply the disgrace of the human race!


    And this disgrace actually lasted for close to a million years!


    However, the expression on Cloudsky''s face when he heard the name Yu Soul Sect was fascinating to the max.


    Other people did not feel anything when they heard it, but in Cloudsky''s ears, it was another scenery altogether.


    The name Yu Soul Sect, it was already unknown how long it had been since anyone mentioned it before.


    The current Holy Region was gradually developed from precisely the Yu Soul Sect back then!


    One could say that the current Holy Region was one of the sects with the most complete inheritances in the entire Divine Realm.


    Even though they had also experienced several catastrophes before in-between, for a million years, they had always pulled through.


    And it was precisely because the Yu Soul Sect back then was already notorious, that the future generations abandoned this name.


    However, this name was passed down among the Holy Region''s upper echelons.


    Cloudsky was naturally aware.


    It was just that he did not know how in the world Ye Yuan knew ''Yu Soul Sect'' this name.


    Could it be ��


    Cloudsky thought of a possibility, and his entire body involuntarily shuddered!


    The thing that Zhuge Qingxuan was unable to accomplish, could it be that Ye Yuan did it?


    Cloudsky stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, his gaze glimmering with a cold light, and he said coldly, "Ji brat, what the hell did you experience inside the Bloodrain Wilderness?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Cloudsky with a broad smile and said, "Haven''t you already guessed it?"


    The surrounding atmosphere started to become weird.


    These people were all aware that the secret of becoming a deity might be hidden inside the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was all too clear!


    He went down to the seventh level!


    For a moment, everyone''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became burning hot.


    "Ji brat, say out the secrets that you obtained. Today''s matter, this lord can sweep it under the rug!" Cloudsky said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "It''s not impossible to say it out. But old man Cloudsky, you aren''t thinking that the secret to become a deity is only worth a Zhao Lingdong, right?"


    The moment Cloudsky heard that there was hope, his expression could not help turning intent, and his breathing also became ragged.


    What was able to move him was only the secret of becoming a deity.


    Although the Holy City''s inheritances were very complete, that unforeseen event 100 thousand years ago, they similarly did not avoid it.


    Overnight, all things related to Deity Realm vanished without a trace!


    Hence, the Holy City''s three titans were the same as the other Void Mystic powerhouses, filled with yearnings toward the Deity Realm.


    If not for so, how could Zhuge Qingxuan possibly take the risk to enter the depths of the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    "What do you still want?" Cloudsky said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said with a stern countenance, "I want your Holy City to step forward and resist the fiend race!"


    Cloudsky''s face fell, and he said, "As long as the things you speak of are worth it, what''s the harm in resisting the fiend race?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "How about this, you show a bit of sincerity first. Send people to destroy the Medicine King Hall first. I''ll naturally tell the secrets I know."


    Cloudsky''s expression involuntarily changed when he heard that and said grimly, "Heh, you said it lightly! You entered the Bloodrain Wilderness for half a year already and are probably still unaware. This period of time, the Heavenly Sword Sect mustered up the power of the entire sect to attack the Medicine King Hall. In the end, they suffered grievous losses and were virtually completely wiped out! Jian Feiyang is seriously injured and dying, nearly losing his life! At present, these Eight Great Super Holy Lands already lost one! You''re also aware, Jian Feiyang''s Sword Dao cultivation is not beneath this lord. Even he couldn''t get any results, it will be of no help at all even if this lord goes too! Even if really making a move, need to wait for Qingxuan to come back first, then talk."


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned intent, his brows involuntarily knitting together.


    He urged Sword Thirteen not to act rashly without careful thought back then. He did not think that the Heavenly Sword Sect still acted arbitrarily. In the end, they ended up in such a state!


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since that''s the case, then there''s nothing to talk about."


    The moment Cloudsky heard, he hurriedly said, "How about this, this lord will issue a Heavenly Saint Order first, summoning the entire Divine Realm, and joining hands to deal with the Medicine King Hall. What do you think?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression eased up, and he said, "That''s more like it!"


    "Ji Qingyun, our sincerity is already brought out. I wonder where is your good faith? At the very least, you also have to let this lord take a look at whether or not it''s worth it for the Holy City to do so, right?" Cloudsky said.


    What he used was a delaying tactic, planning on coaxing out some secrets of becoming a deity from Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    As for dealing with the Medicine King Hall, forget it!


    The Holy City absolutely would not meddle in the affairs of the fiend race!


    Ye Yuan''s face suddenly revealed a smile and said, "You really want to know?"


    Cloudsky immediately said, "Of course!"


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head and said, "Okay, then I''ll tell you. The secret to becoming a deity is actually ��"


    Ye Yuan deliberately dragged his tone out, keeping people in suspense.


    Including Cloudsky, everyone craned their necks, wanting to hear this startling secret from Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Ye Yuan''s figure instantly vanished from where he was.


    Merging into heaven and earth!


    When he appeared again, Ye Yuan already arrived not far from Guo Xu!


    Ye Yuan and Guo Xu were not far in the first place. This merging into heaven and earth was something that happened in virtually a blink of an eye. Everyone did not react to it.


    Guo Xu was currently paying close attention, listening attentively to what kind of secret Ye Yuan was going to say, but did not expect such a sudden turn of events to occur.


    Guo Xu''s scalp tingled at this instant. A feeling of extreme danger welled up in his heart.


    "Courting death!"


    Guo Xu''s reaction could not be said to not be quick. He opened up his own divine king domain at the first moment.


    But, it was all futile.


    A terrifying streak of sword energy easily broke apart his divine king domain.


    He had yet to come around to his sense what was going on when the Evil Extermination Divine Sword was already propped against his neck.


    All of this was completed in virtually a blink of an eye.


    When Cloudsky reacted to it, he was incredibly alarmed and furious. Using a gaze that could kill people to look at Ye Yuan, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Ji brat, you dare to trick me?"

 1121 Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder!

    "So what if I tricked you?" Ye Yuan looked at Cloudsky and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Old punk Cloudsky, your Yu Soul Sect''s shamelessness has been verified over a million years! Do you think that I''d be deceived by your little trick?"


    Cloudsky was incomparably remorseful and angry. He actually made a such a low-level mistake just now.


    It was not that he, Cloudsky, was foolish, but hearing the Yu Soul Sect and the secret of Deity Realm, these two things that Ye Yuan threw out were too shocking, resulting in him having that instant of lowering his guard.


    And Ye Yuan took advantage of precisely this instant and succeeded in sneak attacking.


    Sensing the traces of cold intent coming from his neck, Guo Xu''s heart went utterly cold.


    Ye Yuan making a trip into the Bloodrain Wilderness, his current strength already flung him beyond the nine heavens.


    Just now, his divine king domain was simply as weak as a piece of blank paper in front of Ye Yuan''s Evil Extermination Sword!


    "Ji Qingyun, you despicable man! This place is the Holy City. Do you think that by holding me hostage, you can escape? Dream on!" Guo Xu clenched his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan made a move like lightning, directly sealing Guo Xu''s essence energy. Ye Yuan then lightly patted his shoulder and said smilingly, "You''d best worry about yourself. My matters don''t need you to be concerned. If I die here, you''d definitely die before me."


    Guo Xu''s face was ashen pale. He was really meat on somebody''s chopping board right now.


    "Ji Qingyun, what do you want?" Cloudsky asked in a solemn voice.


    Guo Xu''s status in the Holy City naturally went without saying. Hence, that was why Ye Yuan chose him to be the hostage.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Two conditions! First, immediately attack the Medicine King Hall! Second, hand over the Holy City''s divine inscriptions! Don''t look at me with that kind of look. There''s no room for discussion. I''ll give you ten breaths of time to consider. Once the time is up, Guo Xu will die!"


    "You''re dreaming, Ji Qingyun! Divine inscriptions are my Holy City''s non-transmissible secret! Even ordinary elders can''t cultivate either, why should we give you?" Cloudsky said fiercely.


    But Ye Yuan ignored him and started counting backward very calmly.


    "Ten breaths."


    "Nine breaths."


    "Eight breaths."


    "Seven breaths."


    ...


    "Three breaths."


    Cloudsky''s expression was incredibly grim as he said with a cold smile, "Ji brat, you want to use this kind of method to scare this lord? You''re too naive! If you really kill Guo Xu, you''ll also die beyond all doubt today!"


    Along with Ye Yuan''s countdown, Guo Xu''s breathing also became ragged.


    The sweat on his body already soaked his clothing.


    However, Cloudsky still did not have the intention of agreeing to Ye Yuan.


    "Two breaths!"


    "One breath!"


    Cloudsky looked at Ye Yuan with a cold sneer just like that. He did not believe that Ye Yuan really dared to make a move.


    This place was the Holy City. If he killed Guo Xu, Ye Yuan definitely could not escape!


    "Guo Xu, you set your mind at ease. I assure you with my head that Ji brat absolutely won''t dare to kill you!" Cloudsky said to Guo Xu.


    "Time''s up!"


    Right at this time, ten breath''s time was up.


    Cloudsky laughed loudly and said, "Ji brat, why don''t you kill! Just now, weren''t you still threatening this lord?"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled, and a hint of a mocking smile flashed past. The Evil Extermination Sword pressed forward lightly.


    Slash ��


    Guo Xu''s head flew high up, turning into a headless corpse in a blink of an eye.


    The Evil Extermination Sword''s edge ground Guo Xu''s divine soul into pieces along with it too.


    Everyone was stunned!


    Only all the way until the head hit the ground, did they abruptly startle awake.


    The Holy City''s successor, was actually killed so easily?


    Ye Yuan really killed Guo Xu!


    Ye Yuan actually really dared to kill Guo Xu!


    Was this guy mad?


    "You �� You really dared to kill him!" Cloudsky said angrily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If killed, then killed, what''s to dare or not dare about? You wouldn''t think that I was joking with you earlier, right? Oh, right, you even guaranteed it with your head just now. Now, can you take it down?"


    Rumble!


    Cloudsky''s divine king domain suddenly erupted, sweeping over towards Ye Yuan instantly.


    "Ji brat, I''m going to tear you to pieces!"


    Cloudsky roared as he rushed over!


    Cloudsky was one of the Holy City''s three great titans. His strength connected to the heavens and penetrated the earth.


    His strength was not what ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses were able to compare to.


    One could say that Cloudsky was the Divine Realm''s true apex existence.


    Below the Ten Great Divine Kings, he reigned supreme!


    The moment the divine king domain opened up, it enveloped Ye Yuan inside instantly.


    However, Ye Yuan was long prepared and completely did not give Cloudsky any chance at all.


    The instant that Cloudsky''s divine king domain opened up, Ye Yuan''s figure already merged into heaven and earth, escaping outside the Heavenly Saint Tower with a flash.


    How could Cloudsky allow Ye Yuan to flee? He immediately chased outside.


    "Pass down the order, seal the city gates! I want to see if this brat really can''t be killed!"


    Outside the Heavenly Saint Tower, Cloudsky and Ye Yuan faced each other across a great distance.


    He was already beyond furious and completely did not care about the matter that Ye Yuan was the son of heaven''s mandate.


    He only knew that he had to kill Ye Yuan today.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of running away. He still stood there in a collected manner.


    Looking at Cloudsky from a distance, Ye Yuan said with a calm smile, "Old punk Cloudsky, you don''t have to be like this. This young master hasn''t played enough yet. How would I leave readily? Come, come, come, I''ve long heard that the Holy City''s three titans'' strengths are exceedingly formidable. This Ji wants to experience it today, whether or not it''s really as powerful as in the rumors!"


    Cloudsky snorted coldly and said, "Fine. Since you''re not running, then this lord will let you witness what''s true might!"


    Cloudsky''s divine king domain opened fully. The entire Holy City was shaken!


    The radius that his divine king domain covered was too large.


    The horrifying aura that came from inside virtually made people asphyxiated.


    A hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. His figure became erratic all of a sudden.


    When Cloudsky saw this scene, his gaze involuntarily turned intent!


    With his strength, he was actually unable to lock onto Ye Yuan!


    "This �� This brat''s heart realm actually already reached the realm of perfection! Heaven Man Unity! Heaven Man Unity! Damn it! How on earth did this punk do it? Since I''m unable to use aura to lock on, then I''ll directly annihilate you! Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder!" Cloudsky said indignantly.


    Above the sky, turned into a sea of lightning, enveloping the 10 thousand foot radius that Ye Yuan was in inside entirely.


    Cloudsky''s divine king domain actually reached a terrifying 10 thousand feet!


    This terrifying undulation shocked the entire Holy City.


    Only at this moment did people know that Wu Yuanqiao, who was known as the Thundercry Divine King, was simply not worth mentioning in front of Cloudsky!


    This was a true peak powerhouse!


    That violent lightning ocean could simply obliterate everything!


    Back then, the Spirit Bristle Divine King exterminating a hundred divine king powerhouses with the power of flames, was also nothing more than this!


    "S-So strong! How did Lord Qingyun Zi provoke Lord Cloudsky? This time, it''s really dying without even leaving dregs behind."


    "Truly didn''t think that Lord Cloudsky''s strength is already terrifying to such an extent! Looking at the power of this divine king domain, his strength is probably already not beneath the Ten Great Divine Kings, right?"


    "Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder! This is the Divine Realm''s most powerful domain of lightning power! The Holy City''s three titans are indeed all not ordinary people!"


    Such tremendous undulations naturally incurred large numbers of powerhouses to surround and watch. Everyone was unbelievably shocked towards Cloudsky''s Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder.


    Such a grand occasion, how many years had it not appeared already?"

 1122 Greater Teleportation!

    Quite a few people were very sympathetic towards Ye Yuan. The consequences of angering Lord Cloudsky was not that fun.


    The price was death!


    But right at this time, Cloudsky''s expression suddenly changed drastically.


    Behind Cloudsky, inside the void, a peerless sword light tore through the air, akin to a falling star, falling fiercely to the ground.


    "Ji Qingyun, you dare?!"


    Cloudsky''s eyes turned bloodshot, but looking at that sword light in the distance, he felt powerless.


    Ye Yuan was able to hear his roar, but the sword light could not hear it.


    With a boom, a tiled building was directly ruined by the sword light, kicking up clouds of dust.


    "No way, right? What happened just now? Wasn''t Ji Qingyun trapped by Lord Cloudsky inside the Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder? How did he run over there?"


    "That sword light of Ji Qingyun''s �� was so strong! Isn''t he just Fifth Level Dao Profound? How could he release such a powerful attack?"


    "No, wait! That direction �� seems to be the Purple-Gold Hall! This �� This is severing the lineage! Ji Qingyun, what ruthless means!"


    The Holy City''s powerhouses spoke at great lengths unceasingly. Only now, did they discover that the direction Ye Yuan attacked was actually the Purple-Gold Hall!


    What kind of place was the Purple-Gold Hall?


    That was the Holy City''s future!


    Each disciple inside were all peerless geniuses that the Holy City spent countless resources to groom.


    This baffling sword of Ye Yuan''s was actually going to eliminate those Purple-Gold Hall''s disciples!


    He already killed Guo Xu. Annihilating the Purple-Gold Hall''s powerhouses, the blow to the Holy City was tremendous.


    Although this move was rather vicious, Ye Yuan did not have much sympathy in his heart.


    The price of this sin was death!


    Ever since becoming aware of the Yu Soul Sect''s actions and conduct, as well as the Holy City''s attitude, Ye Yuan had the idea of destroying the Holy City.


    This kind of sect existing in the world, even continuing the shameless behavior for a million years, was simply the Divine Realm''s nightmare.


    Cloudsky they all still had this sort of attitude toward the fiend race. It indicated that the Holy City''s style was already penetrated deep into the bones and was simply hard to change anymore.


    Since there was no way of changing, then let him destroy it.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was not the three titans'' match yet. But it did not impede him from claiming a bit of interest first.


    At this time, wailing cries echoed out inside the Purple-Gold Hall.


    "Second Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother! You guys �� why have you guys departed?"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, seems like �� seems like our Divine King Realm senior brothers all �� all died!


    "This �� Who in the world did this?"


    Ye Yuan did not annihilate them completely. Under the great circle of perfection Heaven Man Unity, he was able to clearly sense the situation of those disciples in the Purple-Gold Hall.


    This streak of sword light, he was targeting those Divine King Realm disciples.


    "Ji Qingyun, you �� you''ll die a horrible death! Such an inhuman and brutal thing, you''re actually capable of it!" Cloudsky pointed at Ye Yuan and let loose a torrent of abuse.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a calm look, "Your Yu Soul Sect has powerhouses being born every generation. Zhuge Qingxuan is even hailed as the Divine Realm''s number one divine king! But you all watch on with folded arms regarding the matter of the fiend race''s invasion. Think about it, how many people are plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering because of you! Several tragic wars, you all stayed aloof from the matter. Comparing cruelty, comparing shamelessness, this Ji �� is truly far off."


    Ye Yuan''s words were akin to rolling thunder, resounding throughout all major streets and small alleys in the Holy City.


    Although everyone had not heard before the great name of the Yu Soul Sect, Ye Yuan''s meaning was already very clear.


    For a moment, there was another wave of commotion.


    Cloudsky''s face was livid with rage, hating Ye Yuan to the bones.


    Of course, he was more regretful now!


    If he did not allow Ye Yuan to enter the Bloodrain Wilderness back then and chased him away with forceful measures, perhaps there would not be so much trouble.


    Now, the consequence caused by a wrong decision made in a moment of weakness was too severe.


    "Nangong Zifeng, what are you still waiting for?! All Void Mystic martial artists obey my command, everybody attack together and eradicate Ji Qingyun!" Cloudsky said solemnly.


    There was a series of ripples in the void. Six to seven figures surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle at the same time, cutting off all of his escape routes!


    A purple-robed powerhouse stepped out slowly and looked at Ye Yuan with a frown as he said, "This boy''s heart realm broke through to the realm of perfection and already comprehended the art of greater teleportation. Unless Qingxuan is here, no one can make him stay."


    This purple-robed powerhouse was precisely one of the three titans, Nangong Zifeng!


    Nangong Zifeng''s words stirred up massive waves in the crowd.


    "Art of greater teleportation! It''s actually the art of greater teleportation! No wonder Lord Cloudsky''s Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder couldn''t do anything to Ye Yuan either!"


    "Art of greater teleportation is an extremely profound spatial secret art. Rumors have it �� that this is a magical ability that only Deity Realm powerhouses can comprehend!"


    "This Ji Qingyun is simply too monstrous! It''s fine if his Alchemy Dao talent is strong, didn''t think that resurrecting again, even his martial path talent became so terrifying as well."


    "The Holy City''s two great titans moved out at the same time and actually can''t do anything to him either, and even had their lineage severed by Ji Qingyun. If this were to spread out, the Holy City''s face would be utterly lost!"


    The art of greater teleportation was actually the upgraded version of merging into heaven and earth.


    When Heaven Man Unity reached the great circle of perfection, one''s comprehension of heaven and earth would reach a higher level.


    Within a certain radius, the martial artist could reach another spatial node as they pleased, making people incapable of grasping.


    Even Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, this kind of Void Mystic powerhouses whose divine king domains reached 10 thousand feet, were also unable to lock onto Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan''s current cultivation realm was on the low side. At most, he could only teleport roughly a 10 thousand feet distance.


    It was just that these 10 thousand feet were already sufficient.


    The art of greater teleportation was not an exclusive right of Deity Realm powerhouses. It was just that those able to use the art of greater teleportation in the legends were all Deity Realm powerhouses. Hence, that was why these martial artists would have this kind of mistaken cognition.


    Casting the art of greater teleportation, one''s heart realm must reach Heaven Man Unity''s great circle of perfection.


    This was an extremely difficult thing to accomplish, even during the Divine Dao Era.


    Even if the Divine Dao Era powerhouses cultivated Essence, Energy, and Spirit to the great circle of perfection, they might not be able to cultivate heart realm to perfection either.


    Hence, Divine King powerhouses who used the art of greater teleportation were virtually non-existent!


    Cloudsky looked at Ye Yuan from far away, his face livid with rage.


    How could he not know that he could not make Ye Yuan stay? But this current sort of situation, what else could he do?


    "Ji Qingyun, your cultivation increasing greatly is also all thanks to the Holy City. Why not we each take a step back. You leave the Holy City, and we''ll let today''s incident pass, just treat it like nothing happened, how''s that?" Nangong Zifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Pffft ��


    These words actually made Ye Yuan laugh.


    "What are you laughing at, Ji Qingyun?" Cloudsky said in a deep voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m laughing at your shamelessness! This Bloodrain Wilderness is the medicine garden of the ancient Heaven One Sect. You guys took forcible possession of it. Now, using it to treat it as a favor, isn''t it funny?"


    "You!" Cloudsky could not help being rendered speechless.


    But his inner-heart was endlessly shocked. Looks like Ye Yuan really entered the seventh level. Otherwise, how could he know so many ancient secrets?

 1123 Easier to Call up an Evil Spirit Than to Allay I

    "Ji Qingyun, you comprehended greater teleportation. But �� those subordinates of yours didn''t comprehend it! Do you think that they can escape the Holy City?" Nangong Zifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and finally knew why Nangong Zifeng did not show up all along.


    It looked like this guy had been preparing a contingency plan the whole time!


    It was naturally impossible for a sly old fox like Cloudsky to give Ye Yuan opportunities on the Heavenly Dao Oath.


    His oath was merely just up until Ye Yuan exited the Bloodrain Wilderness.


    Now that Ye Yuan came out, the oath naturally ended here too.


    The Holy City could not touch Ye Yuan, but they naturally could turn the blades onto Ao Qian they all.


    "If you dare to touch them once, I''ll kill a Void Mystic powerhouse! I''m not the two of your match, but the others, you can give it a try!" Ye Yuan said with a frosty expression.


    Ao Qian they all followed him and braved through fire and water. Ye Yuan had long viewed them as bosom friends already.


    Nangong Zifeng using them to threaten him really made Ye Yuan genuinely give rise to killing intent!


    "Ji Qingyun, don''t be cocky! If you have the capabilities, bring it on! You really think yourself to be invincible after comprehending greater teleportation?" a Void Mystic powerhouse said furiously.


    This person was called Shi Renhui, a Holy City elder and a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse.


    His strength was even a bit stronger compared to the Zhao Lingdong after fusing bodies.


    Toward Ye Yuan''s arrogant speech, he naturally could not carry on listening.


    In his view, for Ye Yuan to still be able to stand here, it was merely because of the art of greater teleportation.


    Ye Yuan grinned widely and said, "Is that so? Old Man Shi, I''m coming. You have to get ready!"


    Shi Renhui only felt a blur before his eyes, and he already lost track of Ye Yuan.


    In virtually an instant, his hairs stood on its ends. A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    Ye Yuan wielded the Evil Extermination Divine Sword and actually already arrived behind Shi Renhui!


    Another ray of sword light!


    This sword was like a death-hastening talisman. How many years had it already been since Shi Renhui felt that he was so close to death?


    Without the slightest hesitation, he opened up his divine king domain!


    Nangong Zifeng also did not expect Ye Yuan to attack when he said so. Expression changing, his divine king domain instantly expanded out!


    His distance away from Shi Renhui was exactly what the divine king domain was able to reach. But the power was already very weak.


    Divine king domain, the closer to oneself, the more powerful. The more towards the borders, the weaker.


    Facing Nangong Zifeng''s divine king domain, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation, pressing forward with an indomitable slash!


    Like crushing dead branches and leaves, the Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity state Evil Extermination Sword scattered Nangong Zifeng''s divine king domain.


    Rumble!


    The sword light''s remnant force did not abate, directly slamming onto Shi Renhui''s divine king domain.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Shi Renhui vomited a mouthful of fresh blood violently, his body akin to sustaining a heavy blow, flying out backward.


    Everyone looked at this scene with wooden stares and slack jaws, deeply astonished by Ye Yuan.


    If talking about that sword of Ye Yuan''s prior to this, it only killed some divine king powerhouses and was not breathtaking enough yet.


    Then this sword really shocked them!


    "How could it be so strong? Ji Qingyun didn''t even use divine king domain, and he beat Elder Shi to serious injuries? If not for Lord Nangong making a move, Elder Shi would most likely be dead already!"


    "Too inconceivable! Could it be that this is the true power of divine artifacts?"


    "A Fifth Level Dao Profound severely wounding Elder Shi in one blow. This battle achievement is simply outrageous!"


    This sword of Ye Yuan''s utterly subverted their understanding toward divine king domains.


    The way these martial artists saw it, divine king domain was the zenith of Martial Dao.


    Those able to defeat Void Mystic powerhouses were only Void Mystic powerhouses!


    But Ye Yuan only used one slash and almost eliminated a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse.


    This scene was seriously too inconceivable.


    Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng both looked at the Evil Extermination Sword in Ye Yuan''s hands with heated eyes. Those ordinary martial artists could not tell, but how could they not perceive it?


    Ye Yuan triggered the Divine Dao laws inside the divine artifact, that was how it unleashed such a terrifying sword intent!


    Ye Yuan comprehended Divine Dao laws!


    Nobody was clearer than the two of them why the Ten Great Divine Kings were so powerful.


    The reason was that they all comprehended Divine Dao laws!


    But now, Ye Yuan comprehended Divine Dao laws when he was at the Fifth Level Dao Profound!


    What was even more damnable was that Ye Yuan actually still had a divine sword in his hands.


    A divine artifact that activated Divine Dao might. That was very frightening.


    This point, to the Holy City with a long-standing lineage, they were all too clear.


    Nangong Zifeng forcefully pressed down the astonishment in his heart and drew a deep breath as he said, "Ji Qingyun, I admit that you have this strength! Fine, your subordinates, I''ll bring them over wholly intact. Now, can you leave?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Okay. You let people bring them to outside the gates. I''ll go there and rendezvous with them! I urge you to best not have any devious thoughts. Otherwise, the Holy City will definitely shed blood like water today!"


    Easier to call up an evil spirit than to allay it!


    Hearing Ye Yuan agree to leave, all of the Holy City''s powerhouses all heaved a sigh in relief.


    They had never thought that a super Alchemy Emperor would actually have a day where his Martial Dao strength would reach such a level!


    Finally sent this god of plague away!


    "You already proved your strength. Rest assured, we absolutely won''t find trouble with you again! However, you also have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, to never go on a killing spree again under no circumstances!" Nangong Zifeng said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "As long as you all don''t provoke me anymore, I won''t attack again!"


    Following that, Ye Yuan swore a Heavenly Dao Oath before Nangong Zifeng order people to bring Ao Qian they all over.


    Seeing Ye Yuan leave, a hint of a wicked plan succeeding smile flashed past the corners of Nangong Zifeng''s mouth.


    ...


    Roughly the time it took to brew a pot of tea, Ao Qian they all were brought outside the city gates.


    Seeing Ye Yuan return safe and sound, Ao Qian and the rest were all overjoyed.


    "Haha, milord, you finally came back! Holy City this bunch of fellows are truly despicable! To actually drug our food, then capture all of us!" said Jiang Taicang. The moment Jiang Taicang saw Ye Yuan, he immediately complained.


    This place was where the Alchemist Association''s headquarters was located. Drugging the few of them was all too effortless.


    Moreover, with the Heavenly Dao Oath previously there, the Holy City was very courteous to them this half a year. They did not have suspicions either, resulting in being directly put down.


    Seeing that everyone was fine, Ye Yuan finally set his mind at ease and said with a smile, "With me around, they don''t dare to do anything to you guys! Entering the Bloodrain Wilderness this time, my harvests are considerable. Later, I''ll help you all refine medicinal pills and help you advance a step further! Old Ao, especially you. I''m very much looking forward to your bearing when you recover to your peak strength!"


    Ao Qian''s entire body trembled when he heard that and immediately revealed a look of wild elation.


    Ye Yuan saying it like this, he definitely found the last spirit medicine inside the Bloodrain Wilderness!


    This way, he would be able to recover to his peak strength!


    With Skydistant around, it was naturally nothing difficult for Ye Yuan to find a few stalks of spirit medicines.


    Just as the few people were preparing to leave, a terrifying aura came from above the skies all of a sudden.


    "Hahaha, Ji Qingyun, this lord wants to see if you''re really unkillable! Even if Qingxuan isn''t around, this Divine Dao grand array is likewise able to exterminate you!" Cloudsky laughed wildly as he said.

 1124 Donst Come and Provoke Me Again!

    Above the sky, streams of light spilled over.


    A horrifying pressure made everyone''s countenance change.


    That was the power of laws belonging to Divine Dao!


    "Haha, Ji brat, do you really think that my Holy City''s million-year-old inheritance is to be trifled with? Enjoy the terror of Divine Dao laws to your heart''s content! To be able to die under a divine rank grand array, you can be sufficiently proud!


    Cloudsky was incomparably exhilarated in his heart!


    Ever since Ye Yuan came to the Holy City, he was constantly being led by the nose. Don''t mention how aggrieved he felt in his heart.


    But today, Ye Yuan even killed Guo Xu and the Purple-Gold Hall''s divine king powerhouses, destroying the Holy City''s several hundred years of painstaking effort in a single day.


    This enmity was formed huge!


    Just allowing Ye Yuan to leave unchecked, how could the two of them be reconciled to it?


    The reason why Nangong Zifeng let Ao Qian they all out was in order to drag the time.


    Activating the divine rank grand array, the price expended was too great. The time needed was also somewhat long.


    Nangong Zifeng knew that ordinary-level attacks were totally useless to Ye Yuan. It could not even touch him.


    But under the pressure of Divine Dao, Ye Yuan''s art of greater teleportation was useless too!


    "Heh, Ji brat, you''re too conceited! If we let you walk out of the Holy City today, where will we put our old faces still?" Nangong Zifeng said with a cold laugh.


    "The Divine Dao grand array has already not been activated before for no idea how many years. This time, making an exception for you. Enjoy this despair well!" Cloudsky followed up.


    The Divine Dao pressure in the sky became more and more intense. The feeling that it gave people was like the sky was falling down.


    When Ao Qian and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of them involuntarily swallowed their saliva.


    They still did not understand up till now, what on earth His Excellency did, to actually incite the Holy City to activate the divine rank grand array!


    "My god, it''s really the divine rank grand array activating! Looks like Ji Qingyun really offended the two titans badly."


    "Ji Qingyun''s lineage-ending sword virtually ruined the Holy City''s future. How could they not be furious?"


    "Divine rank grand array activating, this time, Ji Qingyun would be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings!"


    "Tsk tsk, this power! To be able to sense Divine Dao laws in this lifetime, there are no regrets in death too!"


    It was the Holy City''s martial artists first time witnessing the might of the Divine Dao grand array. Each and every one of them was incomparably excited.


    Ye Yuan''s composure exceeded Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng''s expectations on the other hand.


    In their view, Ye Yuan should have given up all hope currently.


    But why was he still so calm?


    Could it be that this punk thought that his art of greater teleportation was able to avoid the divine rank grand array?


    "You all don''t need to have this going to die expression. All enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Leave this divine rank grand array to me!" Ye Yuan said with Ao Qian and the rest with a smile.


    Ao Qian''s eyes became wide circles as he said in disbelief, "Milord, this is a divine rank grand array. Could it be that you have ways to deal with it too?"


    "Enough nonsense, quickly go in!" Ye Yuan scolded with a smile.


    When Nangong Zifeng saw this scene, he said with a cold sneer, "Heh, death is nigh. Still feigning arrogance here!"


    Right at this time, the divine rank grand array that accumulated power to await release seemed to have finally finished storing up power.


    Everyone knew that horrifying power was already lurking above the nine heavens!


    Once it landed, it would surely strike with the force and momentum of a thunderbolt.


    "Quickly retreat! Don''t get dragged in by the divine rank grand array''s attack!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan was like a god of plague. Everyone avoided him like the plague.


    Once this attack landed, nobody knew what would happen either.


    As for the Holy City''s people, they had naturally maintained a safe distance from Ye Yuan long ago.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s greater teleportation was no joke. What if he lured the attack over to their side? They would turn to ashes.


    Whoosh ��


    Several dozen multicolored flowing light landed from above the sky, looking just like a sunset, beautiful to the extreme.


    But everyone knew that behind that beauty, there were extremely terrifying Divine Dao laws!


    The divine rank grand array finally activated!


    These multicolored flowing lights were extremely swift. In virtually a blink of an eye, they landed on top of Ye Yuan''s head.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan moved!


    His figure immediately vanished from where he stood, disappearing without a trace.


    However, those multicolored flowing lights flew towards the city gates with even greater speed!


    Seeing this scene, Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng''s expression changed drastically.


    They did not think that Ye Yuan wanted to do something to disgust them even on his deathbed.


    He actually wanted to borrow the power of this grand array to destroy the Holy City''s gates!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Those dozen over multicolored flowing lights landed on the city gates, directly blasting the impregnable city gates to smithereens!


    For a moment, debris flew everywhere.


    The Holy City''s walls were all made using special stone materials. It would be hard for Void Mystic powerhouses to even damage it in the slightest.


    But this time, it was destroyed by the divine rank grand array!


    "Ji Qingyun, this brat, truly deserves death! His death is at hand, and he doesn''t even let people be carefree!" Cloudsky said crossly.


    "Forget it. Either way, this brat is dead too. He has two divine artifacts in his hands. It should also be sufficient to match up to the city gates'' losses," Nangong Zifeng consoled him.


    Upon hearing this, Cloudsky''s eyes lit up, and he immediately showed great interest.


    The unhappy feelings earlier immediately vanished without a trace.


    The dust settled, and the Divine Dao pressure above the sky gradually faded away. Everything returned to how it was.


    Everyone was stupefied by the powerful might of these Divine Dao laws!


    This was the foundation of the Holy City!


    Presently in the Divine Realm, sects that possessed a complete Divine Dao grand array was only the Holy City!


    Seeing everyone''s reaction, Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng exchanged a glance and smiled, clearly very satisfied.


    Although they were forced to use the divine rank grand array this time, it also awed all of the martial artists in the Holy City.


    This was their foundation!


    The negative impact brought by Ye Yuan would be dispelled very soon!


    "Come, go over and take a look! The Sacred Dragon Token and that divine sword are both not ordinary items!" Cloudsky said.


    Nangong Zifeng nodded his head and followed after as well.


    Those Void Mystic powerhouses hiding in the dark also all showed themselves at this time.


    "Hahaha, Ji Qingyun, this brat, finally died!" Shi Renhui laughed loudly and walked out.


    The power of Divine Dao earlier was too powerful. Shi Renhui felt his heart palpitate even when hiding so far away.


    There were absolutely no chances of survival for Ye Yuan under such an attack.


    However, just as he approached the city gates, a sudden change occurred!


    An unparalleled sword light suddenly came out from within the dust, cleaving straight for Shi Renhui.


    He completely did not have any guard up at this time. In his carelessness, he actually did not even open up his divine king domain!


    Puchi!


    The sword light tore right through the air, splitting Shi Renhui into two halves!


    A Void Mystic powerhouse of his generation was actually gone just like that!


    This unexpected change was what everyone did not anticipate from start to end.


    When Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng saw this scene, their expressions changed greatly.


    This swift and sharp sword, who else could release it apart from Ye Yuan?


    "H-He actually didn''t die! Everybody, be careful!"


    Cloudsky felt like his scalp was going to explode!


    "I had said it before, don''t come and provoke me again! It was you all who broke the agreement first. Don''t blame this young master for not being polite!"


    Amidst the dust, Ye Yuan''s voice transmitted out, as if coming from the netherworld, making everyone''s hearts turn cold.

 1125 Killing Spree!

    Ye Yuan''s words made those Void Mystic powerhouses all break out in goosebumps, everyone feeling endangered.


    The dust gradually dispersed. An enormous turtle shell was displayed in front of everyone.


    Seeing the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng''s expressions both turned intent!


    Although they did not recognize the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, the extraordinariness of this turtle shell, they perceived it with one glance.


    On it faintly revealed extremely profound power of laws. Shockingly, it was precisely Divine Dao laws!


    Ye Yuan was actually perfectly unscathed under the protection of this turtle shell!


    Ye Yuan put away the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, killing intent revealing in his gaze fully.


    The Holy City''s provocation utterly stirred up his wrath!


    If not for Skydistant drawing out the Divine Dao might of the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, Ye Yuan would be dead for sure this time.


    But with Skydistant''s present state, he could at most only make the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell resist Deity Realm attacks three times.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that just exiting the Bloodrain Wilderness, he would already use up one.


    "Today, this young master is going on a killing spree!"


    His voice had yet to fade, and Ye Yuan''s figure instantly vanished from where he stood!


    Puchi!


    A divine king guard directly had his head severed from his body.


    While only at this time, did Ye Yuan''s words spread out far away like rolling thunder, making everyone''s hearts turn cold.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared. Those divine king powerhouses could not capture Ye Yuan''s silhouette at all.


    Each and every one of their scalps tingled, uncertain who Ye Yuan''s next target was.


    Ye Yuan''s art of greater teleportation was elusive as a ghost. With their strength, they could not detect Ye Yuan''s attacking direction at all.


    Puchi!


    Another divine king powerhouse had a sword pierced through the heart by Ye Yuan from behind, his life force instantly extinguishing!


    Cloudsky''s eyes turned bloodshot, and he cried out, "Ji Qingyun, stay your hand! Don''t you forget, my Holy City still has a Heaven Stabilizing Divine King! If you dare to kill any more people, when Zhuge Qingxuan returns, you''ll die even if you escape to the ends of the world!"


    What replied him was a ray of terrifying sword light!


    This ray of sword light naturally was not aiming for Cloudsky, but targeting several of the Holy City''s divine king powerhouses!


    Without the least bit of suspense, these few divine kings were directly slashed into minced meat by the sword light.


    In front of the current Ye Yuan, ordinary divine king powerhouse completely did not have the slightest strength to counterattack.


    Places that he passed through, there was a series of wails!


    "Everybody, quickly disperse apart! Flee! The further you flee, the better!" Cloudsky shouted loudly.


    He knew that it really poked the hornet''s nest this time.


    Ye Yuan was already utterly enraged. They had to pay a terrible price for their actions!


    Right now, under this sort of circumstances, he could only make everyone split up and run. Ye Yuan was just alone with a sword. It was impossible to kill everyone.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan already killed over a dozen divine king powerhouses.


    Currently, apart from Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng who were safe, the rest all became Ye Yuan''s prey.


    "Cloudsky, we can''t look on with folded arms! Take action! My divine king domain and yours can cover as wide as 20 thousand feet. As long as the cooperation is arranged properly, we might not be incapable of taking care of him!" Nangong Zifeng said solemnly.


    Cloudsky nodded and said, "Fine! If I don''t kill this punk today, I, Cloudsky, am lesser than human!"


    Done talking, Cloudsky''s Nine-Heavens Rumbling Thunder instantly opened up. The terrifying lightning sea appeared once again.


    And Nangong Zifeng''s divine king domain was an extremely rare Purple Evil Domain, wounding people using wicked energy.


    Places that it passed through was akin to death descending upon the mortal realm. The process from beginning to end was incomparably terrifying.


    Seeing such horrifying power, those innocent people in the Holy City hurriedly retreated far away once more.


    Two great titans joining hands to deal with the enemy, such a spectacle was truly too grand. As long as they touched a little, they would be dead without chances of survival too.


    "A Fifth Level Divine Realm actually forced the Holy City''s two great titans to team up and fight the enemy. Today''s event is bound to shake the entire Divine Realm!"


    "This is also something that can''t be helped! Comprehending the art of greater teleportation, Ye Yuan is virtually established in an invincible position already. As long as he doesn''t lose his mind and forcefully clash with the two great titans, the two of them likely can''t do anything to him at all!"


    "Although saying that the Holy City is the leader of the Divine Realm is somewhat reputation falling short of reality, the might of the Holy City is indisputable. Even the Ten Great Divine Kings don''t dare to be impudent in the Holy City too! But today, Ji Qingyun actually wants to turn the Holy City upside down!"


    ...


    Nangong Zifeng and Cloudsky crushed over towards Ye Yuan in a carpet-bombing style. However, they were completely unable to lock onto Ye Yuan''s position.


    Ye Yuan had long abandoned his divine king domain already. Just one person and one sword, doing as he pleased.


    In comparison, Nangong Zifeng and Cloudsky, the two people''s divine king domains were like two big dumb elephants; empty power, but inadequate mobility.


    The two of them could only forever eat the dust behind Ye Yuan.


    The Evil Extermination Sword was just like the scythe of the Death God, willfully reaping the lives of the Holy City''s powerhouses.


    Under Ye Yuan''s perfected heart realm, those martial artists were laid completely bare.


    Those powerhouses discovered to their dismay that no matter how they hid, how they ran, they could not escape Ye Yuan''s sword.


    Ye Yuan was just like devil; no idea when he would appear behind them, and then he would end their lives with a slash.


    "Qi Daoming, next is you!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s voice, Qi Daoming''s gaze turned intent. An aura of death pounced from head-on!


    Finally, Ye Yuan turned his gaze on Void Mystic powerhouses!


    Qi Daoming was precisely another Void Mystic elder of the Holy City.


    Qi Daoming was currently sprinting like mad. But under Ye Yuan''s greater teleportation, his speed was too slow!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared.


    "Cloudsky!"


    Nangong Zifeng shouted fiercely. Cloudsky immediately understood.


    Two great divine king domains opened up, instantly protecting Qi Daoming with all their power.


    "Huhu, you guys are still really naive!"


    In the void, a mocking voice came over.


    But Ye Yuan''s figure already appeared 10 thousand feet away.


    The next instant, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished once more!


    Merging into heaven and earth!


    Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng''s expressions changed drastically at the same time as they exclaimed in shock, "Damn it! His target is Su Qian!"


    That direction Ye Yuan went in was precisely another Void Mystic elder, Su Qian!


    He deliberately baited Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, the two people, to Qi Daoming. However, he was actually making a feint, thoroughly shaking off the two people. He was rushing toward Su Qian.


    Su Qian''s strength was even a notch weaker compared to Zhao Lingdong''s. He was completely not Ye Yuan''s match.


    Ye Yuan merged into heaven and earth, how could he not know that Ye Yuan was chasing after?


    "Ahh! Ji Qingyun, this old man will fight it out with you!"


    Su Qian also knew that he could not run. Giving a frenzied shout, he directly opened up his divine king domain and charged over toward Ye Yuan who merged into heaven and earth.


    However, the Ye Yuan that he originally locked onto actually vanished into thin air.


    It was as if he had never appeared before!


    "Ahh! Ji Qingyun, I want you dead!"


    Su Qian went utterly insane. He was like a mad man, randomly unleashing terrifying martial techniques in all directions.


    He completely did not know which direction Ye Yuan would come from and could only use this sort of method to reduce his terror.


    Whoosh!


    A streak of sword light tore through the air and reach its target, directly tearing through Su Qian''s divine king domain, puncturing his chest and grinding his innards into pieces!

 1126 Heaven Stabilizing Divine King!

    "Su Qian!"


    Nangong Zifeng''s and Cloudsky''s eyes turned bloodshot, virtually going crazy.


    Helplessly watching a Void Mystic elder die before their eyes, but incapable of action. This sort of feeling made their chest almost explode.


    The two of them had roamed the Divine Realm unobstructed for several thousand years. There had yet once where they were so helpless like today.


    Counting in Zhao Lingdong and Howlsky, in a short one day''s time, the Holy City actually had five Void Mystic powerhouses perish!


    This kind of loss was an unbearable weight to any sect.


    Not just so, Ye Yuan even killed the Purple-Gold Hall''s divine king disciples.


    Today''s one day of loss was likely able to compare to the Holy City''s thousand years of losses!


    Except, as the Holy City''s two great titans, they could not even touch Ye Yuan''s hair.


    "Ji Qingyun, don''t kill anymore! Don''t kill anymore! We �� We admit defeat! As long as you''re willing to leave the Holy City, we can agree to any terms!"


    In Cloudsky''s shout virtually carried tears.


    He really did not expect that things would develop to this sort of situation today.


    Cloudsky''s intestines were green with regret right now. What he regretted was not about not letting Ye Yuan enter the Bloodrain Wilderness, but that he should not have provoked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan wanted to leave, then let him leave nicely. Why was there a need to stir up so many things?


    Truly blinded by obsession!


    In-between this, he had a number of opportunities to let Ye Yuan leave safe and sound.


    But he did not!


    In fact, he did not believe in the outcome of going against destiny. He insisted on challenging the prestige of the Son of Heaven''s Mandate!


    In the end, he suffered a crushing defeat.


    Ye Yuan looked at Cloudsky and said with a cold smile, "If people don''t offend me, I don''t offend people! If people offend me, I''ll definitely repay it a hundredfold! Do you know regret now? It''s too late! Today, I''ll carry out justice on heaven''s behalf and eradicate your shameless Yu Soul Sect''s Dao teachings, let the two of you become generals without an army!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, and another dozen over Holy City powerhouses died under his sword.


    Ye Yuan was truly enraged today as well. He was extremely annoyed with the Holy City in the first place and was provoked time and again by Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, even nearly dying under the divine rank grand array.


    Since the grudge was already sowed, then make it irreconcilable then!


    Even if he did not go on a killing spree today, could it be that Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng could let him off?


    Cloudsky''s chest was like puffing bellows at this time.


    "Puhwark!"


    Finally, he could not hold back and spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan already killed several dozens of divine king powerhouses.


    Even chopping vegetables was not so fast!


    The might of a divine artifact was completely not what ordinary divine king martial artists could resist.


    Ye Yuan was currently massacring wantonly when suddenly, alarm bells went off. Sudden Impulse was triggered once more!


    An ominous feeling welled up in his head, making Ye Yuan''s actions suddenly pause.


    He put away the sword and stood there, looking at Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng as he said, "Consider yourselves lucky today. The next time this Ji comes to the Holy City again, it will be your Yu Soul Sect''s Dao teachings'' day of doom."


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, his figure swayed, and he disappeared!


    After several breaths, someone came to report that Ye Yuan exited the city through the wrecked city gates!


    Hearing this news, Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, the two people, both heaved a long sigh in relief.


    This killing god finally left!


    "Quick, seal the city! Absolutely can''t let that punk take a step into the Holy City again!" Cloudsky immediately instructed.


    He was cowed by Ye Yuan''s killing. Today could be said to have suffered grievous losses.


    This killing god leaving, his first reaction was not never let this brat enter the city again!


    As long as they cut Ye Yuan off outside, with the Divine Dao grand array defending, he definitely could not come in either.


    The grand array activating, Cloudsky''s heart finally landed too.


    "Cloudsky, why do you think Ji Qingyun suddenly pulled back?"


    Nangong Zifeng was a little calmer than Cloudsky and kept feeling that Ye Yuan left oddly.


    Except, he was the same as Cloudsky, both terrified by Ye Yuan''s killing. Hence, that was why he did not recover to his sense for a moment.


    Thinking about it at this time, the more he thought, the more amiss it felt.


    With him questioning, Cloudsky also immediately felt something amiss and said with furrowed brows, "This �� He either has urgent matters to attend to, or �� the Holy City has an existence that he''s apprehensive of! But ��"


    The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock from the other party''s eyes.


    Very clearly, they thought of a possibility.


    Except, this kind of possibility, how could Ye Yuan know in advance?


    Cloudsky''s pupils suddenly constricted, and he said with a face full with remorse, "Damn it, how could I forget this! This brat even comprehended the art of greater teleportation, he definitely comprehended Sudden Impulse too! Him leaving at this time, apart from fearing Qingxuan, who else could he dread?"


    Nangong Zifeng also came back to his senses and said with a look of astonishment, "Could it be that �� Qingxuan is already on the way back?"


    Nangong Zifeng''s words had yet to finish speaking when there was a ripple in the void. An azure-robed man slowly walked out.


    The azure-robed man wore a head ornament, his face frosty. With every movement and action, it gave people a feeling of profoundness and inscrutability.


    Seeing the wrecked Holy City, the azure-robed man''s brows knitted together.


    He shot a glance at the Cloudsky duo in the distance and actually slowly shut his eyes!


    After several breaths, his eyes suddenly snapped open, his figure abruptly vanishing on the spot!


    Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng exchanged a glance and said in shock, "Qingxuan seems to have had some gains entering the Godsfall Mountain Range this time!


    Nangong Zifeng deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, "I discovered that I can''t see through him more and more. Perhaps Qingxuan might really be able to be the first powerhouse to step foot into Deity Realm in these 100 thousand years!"


    Cloudsky suddenly smiled coldly and said in delight, "Heh, it''s still too early to talk about this! I want to take a look instead, at whether or not Ji brat can escape Qingxuan''s pursuit! Zifeng, you make arrangements for the aftermath. I''ll follow after to take a look! That brat practically brought to us an apocalyptic disaster today. Not seeing his head separate from his body personally, this lord isn''t reconciled to it! In my view, Qingxuan''s destiny isn''t weaker than his. I want to see just what kind of a conclusion the clash of two great living unparalleled geniuses will be!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan executed greater teleportation to the limits, 10 thousand miles in a single breath!


    The current Zhuge Qingxuan was not what he was capable of contending with.


    The moment Sudden Impulse gave an early warning, Ye Yuan knew that it was definitely Zhuge Qingxuan returning!


    Regarding this, he could only secretly curse his misfortune.


    "I didn''t think that Zhuge Qingxuan actually returned at this time. So unlucky! Yu Soul Sect has been adept at being opportunistic these last few years. It looks like they accumulated considerable destiny and isn''t fated to die!" Ye Yuan secretly sighed.


    The destiny accumulated for a million years was not so easy to extinguish.


    In this one million years, no idea how much the Yu Soul Sect profited from wars. Accumulating year in and year out, that was how there was the Holy City today.


    Although Divine Dao dwindled to zero, the situation of the Holy City leading the Divine Realm was an irrefutable fact.


    This point, Ye Yuan was unable to deny it to.


    If not for so, Ye Yuan would not come and seek help from Cloudsky either.


    It was just that, did not expect that it would be such a conclusion in the end.


    While currently flying, alarm bells suddenly went off. Ye Yuan''s countenance changed, and he forcefully stopped his moving momentum in the air.


    Ahead, an azure-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, his hand fanning a paper fan.


    Who could it be if not Zhuge Qingxuan!

 1127 Unexpected Turn of Events

    "Younger Brother Ji, long time no see. Why are you in such a hurry?"


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King fanned his paper fan, with the appearance of an elegant young master.


    Looked too frail to stand up to a gust of wind, but in reality, he was the most dangerous man in the entire Divine Realm.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed together. Not seeing him for many years, Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength became increasingly unfathomable. This was not a good sign!


    The last time he met with Zhuge Qingxuan was more than a hundred years ago.


    At that time, the oppressive feeling that Zhuge Qingxuan gave Ye Yuan was far from as powerful as right now.


    Looks like over these 20 years, the one who improved was not just him, Ye Yuan, alone!


    "Zhuge Qingxuan, put away that act of yours! You''re saying it like this young master is very familiar with you," Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Since he could not run, then there was only a fight.


    If it was a frontal-clash, Ye Yuan was not even Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng''s match, let alone Zhuge Qingxuan who was known as the Divine Realm''s number one.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that Zhuge Qingxuan''s speed was actually so fast. He only used an hour and blocked him.


    One had to know that with his current speed, even Nangong Zifeng might not be able to catch up.


    For Zhuge Qingxuan to be able to catch up was not strange. But this speed was truly a bit too freakish.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s brows raised up, and he said coolly, "Fine then. Since that''s the case, how should the matter of you slaughtering the Holy City today be resolved?"


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was calm and collected and did not have much sullen anger mixed inside.


    But his words radiated awe without being furious.


    "Heh, don''t be so hypocritical, alright? If you covet the divine inscriptions, just say it straight. Those people are merely ant-like existences to you. Don''t tell me that you only chased after because you have compassion for them!" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile


    The corners of Zhuge Qingxuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a faint smile, "Huhu, a straightforward person doesn''t resort to insinuations. Hand over the divine inscriptions, and I''ll make it painless for you!"


    The moment the word ''painless'' came out of his mouth, a faintly discernible source power instantly spread out.


    Ye Yuan instantly felt the entire world crushing down toward him.


    A faint Divine Dao power of laws spilling over warded this pressure off outside.


    Seeing this scene, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s gaze sharpened slightly, and actually revealed some delight.


    "Looks like your extent of shamelessness as the Yu Soul Sect''s number one person in this age is the greatest in the world!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Zhuge Qingxuan did not get too annoyed and said coolly, "Since you know, it seems like there''s no need for this seat to waste my breath. Are you handing it over yourself, or do you want this seat to personally take action?"


    In Zhuge Qingxuan''s eyes, those divine king powerhouses, even void mystic powerhouses, were also merely ant-like existences.


    Perhaps Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng they all would still take to heart their secular status, and care about the life and death of the Holy City''s powerhouses.


    But Zhuge Qingxuan would not care at all.


    What was truly able to move him was only Deity Realm!


    Ye Yuan also smiled lightly and said, "If you have the capabilities, come and take it yourself!"


    Swish!


    Zhuge Qingxuan folded his fan and put it away, and still had a collected look as he said, "Looks like you''re refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s fan pointing out, the entire world collapsed because of it!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes turned intent. An oppressive force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas instantly restrained his entire person!


    The art of greater teleportation actually utterly lost effectiveness at this instant!


    Bystanders completely had no way of imagining how such a sloppy and ordinary attack actually encompassed the might of heaven and earth!


    "Your Divine Dao laws are too simple and plain!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan had a look of disdain.


    In this world, powerhouses able to obtain divine inscriptions could be counted on one''s fingers.


    But powerhouses able to comprehend divine inscriptions were in the minority.


    But if discussing whose comprehension in Divine Realm laws ranked at the top of the list in the Divine Realm, it was none other than the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, Zhuge Qingxuan!


    Previous life, Ye Yuan had interactions with Zhuge Qingxuan before.


    It was just that at that time, Zhuge Qingxuan did not display his true strength before at all.


    But today, Ye Yuan finally experienced why Zhuge Qingxuan was able to be respectfully titled the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King!


    This fan, Ye Yuan actually had a feeling of being powerless to resolve it.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Ye Yuan sensed that his surrounding space was collapsing due to it.


    Along with it, his body also had a feeling of being torn apart by space.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was able to feel that the Divine Dao laws which Zhuge Qingxuan comprehended were much stronger than his!


    "Puu, puu, puu ��"


    Ye Yuan''s powerful fleshy body actually cracked apart inch by inch under the heavy pressure, fresh blood spraying wildly.


    Ye Yuan clenched his jaws tightly, feeling like the entire world was crumbling.


    This was the true power of Divine Dao laws.


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao had merely just crossed the threshold.


    Facing Zhuge Qingxuan, he was too weak!


    "Huhu, when the tiger isn''t in the mountains, the monkey proclaims itself as king! Do you really think that my Holy City is a soft persimmon that anybody can knead?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan had plenty of strength to spare and was filled with scorn towards Ye Yuan.


    The blood vessels in Ye Yuan''s arms and legs ruptured inch by inch, fresh blood pouring out like a fountain.


    He finally knew why the Ten Great Divine Kings were hailed as invincible.


    The Divine Realm''s number one was too strong!


    Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was greater teleportation.


    It was also precisely because he had this secret art that he dared to dance around with a powerhouse like Cloudsky.


    But now, his greater teleportation could not be displayed!


    Right at this time, Cloudsky finally rushed over. He was just in time to see the scene of Ye Yuan''s death throes and could not help letting out a wild laugh.


    This entire day, he was in a state of extreme breakdown.


    Seeing Ye Yuan about to be eradicated, all of Cloudsky''s dejection was released at this moment.


    "Ji brat, aren''t you very arrogant? Didn''t you want to wipe out my Holy City''s Dao teachings? Why don''t you wipe it out?!" Cloudsky said with a wild laugh.


    Toward Cloudsky''s mocking, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to it.


    He did not have time to care about Cloudsky''s ridiculing at all!


    The current Ye Yuan already entered a mysterious state.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s pressure made his fleshy body sustain tremendous pressure.


    But the Vast Heaven Stele in his body actually had a reaction at this time!


    Skydistant imparted Ye Yuan the Vast Heaven Chaos Spell. But this kind of profound Divine Dao laws, Ye Yuan had not learned the rudiments yet.


    But now, Ye Yuan felt like his head was exploding.


    Those divine inscriptions like just like a bunch of bandits, forcefully barging into his sea of consciousness.


    After obtaining the Vast Heaven Chaos Spell, Ye Yuan had once taken the initiative to attempt to comprehend it but gleaned nothing.


    The hardest thing about divine inscriptions was crossing the threshold. The Vast Heaven Chaos Spell, Ye Yuan could not even cross the threshold.


    Currently, it was as if those divine inscriptions had life. Ye Yuan clearly did not go and comprehend them, but they took the initiative to integrate into Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. A pale-yellow light thoroughly enveloped him.


    The squashing of space originally was actually blocked outside by this pale-yellow light!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s smile immediately froze on his face.


    His Divine Dao laws power was actually unable to advance an inch further!


    He could not help increasing his force more, but �� that yellow light did not budge an inch, wrapping Ye Yuan up and protecting.

 1128 Peak Confrontation!

    "Vast Heaven Stele!"


    A change in countenance appeared for the first time on Zhuge Qingxuan''s face.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, directly disintegrating Zhuge Qingxuan''s restrictive force.


    Accurately speaking, it was the Vast Heaven Stele who scattered it.


    The Vast Heaven Stele suspended above Ye Yuan''s palm quietly. A pale-yellow light halo intertwined around it akin to wandering dragons, exuding waves of mysterious aura.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhuge Qingxuan and said with a cold smile, "Looks like the Vast Heaven Inheritance hates the Yu Soul Sect''s inheritances very much! Thanks, Zhuge Qingxuan!"


    Cloudsky''s laughter abruptly ceased. He was still waiting for Ye Yuan to be crushed into minced meat earlier. In a blink of an eye, such a sudden turn of events actually occurred.


    "Could it be that this brat is really unkillable?"


    Cloudsky was angered until his expression was livid. Fortunately, nobody was around here. Otherwise, this old face would really not have places to put today.


    After the shock, Zhuge Qingxuan composed himself very quickly and said coolly, "Although the Vast Heaven Stele is strong, your strength is still too weak! Even if you''re able to control the Vast Heaven Stele, it''s hard to escape death today as well."


    Zhuge Qingxuan opened up the folded fan and fanned towards Ye Yuan without another word.


    His action did not have much pompousness, just a simple fanning. But it gave people a feeling of profoundness and inscrutability.


    "Huuuu ��"


    A terrifying essence energy light beam shot straight at Ye Yuan''s face.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, instantly feeling a mountain-like pressure.


    This fan was way stronger compared to that one just now.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly revolved the Vast Heaven Chaos Spell he just comprehended and cried out loudly, "Go!"


    The Vast Heaven Stele was like a cannonball, welcoming Zhuge Qingxuan''s essence energy light beam.


    Boom!


    The essence energy light beam smashed onto the Vast Heaven Stele, giving off a dazzling light.


    The Vast Heaven Stele that had always succeeded was actually directly smashed flying backward!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan spewed out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs already suffered serious injuries!


    Zhuge Qingxuan was too strong!


    "The Vast Heaven Stele is merely thus!" Zhuge Qingxuan said indifferently.


    Although his words were very calm, it exuded a thick mocking intent.


    When Cloudsky saw the situation, he was similarly overjoyed.


    He had to admit that that attack Ye Yuan controlled the Vast Heaven Stele to perform earlier, was very impressive.


    Even he would likely need to expend quite a bit of effort to deal with it as well.


    "Hahaha, Son of Heaven''s Mandate, this old man wants to see if you''re really unkillable!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s might let Cloudsky find confidence once more, giving Ye Yuan hell.


    Ye Yuan''s face was deathly pale. That attack of Zhuge Qingxuan''s earlier was truly incomparably profound.


    Ye Yuan comprehended quite a few divine inscriptions presently and already had a shallow understanding of Divine Dao laws.


    The Divine Dao laws contained in that fan of Zhuge Qingxuan''s was extremely profound!


    One had to know that Zhuge Qingxuan only unleashed the attack with essence energy and not divine essence.


    Facing such an attack, if Ye Yuan did not take the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell out, he could not block it at all.


    Yet, even if he took out the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, once the power was exhausted, he was likewise a cooked goose.


    At the moment, he seemed to have walked into a blind-alley.


    Zhuge Qingxuan looked at Ye Yuan and said indifferently, "Son of Heaven''s Mandate, is it? I want to take a look at whether or not I can contest for this heaven''s mandate with you!"


    While talking, Zhuge Qingxuan''s body actually gradually became illusionary.


    At this instant, he seemed to have merged into one with this heaven and earth.


    It was as if he was the world, and the world was �� Zhuge Qingxuan!


    When Cloudsky saw this scene, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, "Hahaha, what a terrific Qingxuan! Your Brahma Heart Sutra actually broke through once again! When you kill Ji Qingyun and snatch his Vast Heaven Stele, you might not be incapable of breaking this heaven and earth''s fetters, and step foot into Deity Realm!"


    "Carefree Empty Intent!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s wrist shook. A surge of terrifying Divine Dao laws crept out.


    For a moment, the winds blew and the clouds rolled. The power of laws roused a terrifying essence energy undulation, gradually forming an essence energy dragon!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes turned intent. This move was too strong. He knew that he was completely unable to match it!


    Just as he was planning on taking out the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    In the sky, flames suddenly surged.


    That terrifying temperature was seemingly going to incinerate this world entirely!


    Likewise, a terrifying Divine Dao law, a fire-attribute Divine Dao law!


    This unexpected sudden turn of events did not make Zhuge Qingxuan have any change in countenance. But his brows knitted together tightly.


    Rumble!


    Two surges of immensely powerful source power collided together. That impetus directly shattered the firmament!


    That kind of power truly shook heaven and earth, and made gods weep!


    The unceasing air billows lasted for 15 minutes before it gradually dissipated.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s Carefree Empty Intent was actually neutralized just like that.


    In this world, there was actually still someone capable of rivaling the head of the Ten Great Divine Kings, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King!


    "Teng Yun, could it be that you want to set yourself against this seat?" Zhuge Qingxuan said with furrowed brows.


    Inside that boundless flames, a yellowed-clothed man slowly walked out. It was clearly the Teng Yun from Zhuge Qingxuan''s mouth.


    "I''m here to bring Ji Qingyun again! If you dare to bar the way, what''s the harm in making an enemy out of you?"


    Teng Yun''s nonchalant words had a manner of not placing the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, this Divine Realm''s number one, in his eyes at all.


    "The people that this seat wants to kill, there has never been anyone who''s able to bring them away before!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.


    Teng Yun said coolly, "People that this seat wants to bring away, nobody can kill either! Even if you''re hailed as the number one divine king!"


    "Teng Yun, you and I will eventually have a battle. Picking a date is not as good as a chance encounter. Since we met today, battle it out then! I want to take a look if you, this Spirit Bristle Divine King, are really as formidable as in the legends!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.


    It turned out that this Teng Yun was actually the legendary Spirit Bristle Divine King ranked second among the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    Who else in this world that could be Zhuge Qingxuan''s match? It was none other than the Spirit Bristle Divine King!


    Looking at Teng Yun''s back view, Ye Yuan felt a multitude of feelings surge up too.


    He never thought that at the final moment, it was actually Teng Yun who came to save him.


    It seemed like only Teng Yun had the ability to save him.


    Looking at it now, between the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King and Spirit Bristle Divine King, there ultimately needed to be a battle.


    Among the Ten Great Divine Kings, they had never battled in front of outsiders before.


    Their relative superiority or inferiority in strength, nobody ever knew as well.


    But today, could it be that a victor was going to be decided between the Ten Great Divine Kings'' number one and number two?


    Teng Yun said coolly, "If you want to fight, then fight! The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s Brahma Heart Sutra, this Teng has long wanted to have a taste of it as well!"


    "Ji Qingyun, you leave first. I''ll follow soon after!" Teng Yun turned around and said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan revealed a complicated look, but finally still nodded his head and said solemnly to Teng Yun, "Take care!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan directly cast the art of greater teleportation, and he appeared 10 thousand feet away.


    "Want to run? Where are you going?!"


    How could Cloudsky passively watch Ye Yuan leave? He instantly gave chase!


    But he had yet to chase out very far when a ball of terrifying flames came from head-on.


    Cloudsky was greatly astonished and hurriedly mustered up his divine king domain.


    Boom!


    Cloudsky''s body floated down to the ground like a kite with a broken string.Original doesn''t exactly say cooked goose, more like a ''damn NEET.''

 1129 Its All Fate!

    Ye Yuan''s fleeing speed was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he went several tens of thousands of miles away.


    But his injuries were extremely severe, and he was completely unable to exhibit his movement technique anymore. So he simply found a secluded place and recuperated his injuries.


    Consuming Tier 9 healing medicinal pills, after a day, Ye Yuan''s injuries finally obtained preliminary control.


    "The title of the Ten Great Divine Kings are indeed well-deserving of their reputation! Reaching their kind of boundary, even Void Mystic powerhouses are ant-like existences too!"


    Recalling that scene previously, Ye Yuan felt considerable vicissitude of emotions too.


    Someone as powerful as Cloudsky also could not last more than one exchange in front of Teng Yun.


    When Ye Yuan escaped, even separated by a distance of 10 thousand miles, he could also feel that terrifying undulation at the back.


    This kind of confrontation between experts, using rocking the heavens and shaking the earth to describe it was not over the top in the slightest.


    Just as Ye Yuan was feeling emotional, a trace of ripple surfaced in the space. Teng Yun''s figure appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Teng Yun and said with a frown, "You got injured?"


    Teng Yun said with a smile, "Minor injuries. He isn''t much better off than me either."


    "Who won or lost?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    "Considered a draw!" Teng Yun said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help saying rather surprisedly, "Looks like this Divine Realm''s number one is somewhat undeserved reputation!"


    "No, he''s stronger than me! I can sense that he still has trump cards yet to use. If we really have a life-and-death struggle, I most likely wouldn''t be his match," Teng Yun said.


    Ye Yuan was endlessly shocked when he heard.


    Reaching Teng Yun''s level of realm, everyone cherished life greatly.


    Especially Zhuge Qingxuan, his cultivation realm was extremely high and could be said to be the person with the greatest potential of breaking through to the Deity Realm.


    If it ruined the chance to break through to the Deity Realm because of a battle, it was not worth it!


    Even if Zhuge Qingxuan was able to kill Teng Yun, he was certain to have to pay a terrible price. He naturally would not do this kind of meaningless thing.


    Although killing Ye Yuan was very important to Zhuge Qingxuan, compared to breaking through to Deity Realm, it was not considered a big deal.


    The two people battled for a day and night and finally still wound up the matter with a draw.


    But to be able to fight to a draw with Zhuge Qingxuan, this outcome still greatly exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    After all, Zhuge Qingxuan''s awe-inspiring reputation was too overwhelming. The title of Divine Realm''s number one was no joke. He even personally experienced it before previously.


    Previously, when Ye Yuan left, he was still very worried about Teng Yun.


    First and second sounded about the same, but just how far apart, nobody knew without fighting at all.


    Looking at it now, the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s strength was even stronger than what the average person imagined!


    He, this number two, lived up to his reputation.


    Ye Yuan fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Teng Yun and said, "Eat it. Your injuries are not severe and should be able to heal very quickly."


    Teng Yun received the medicinal pill. A burst of exotic fragrance hit his nose, and his expression could not help turning intent as he said, "Arcane insight rank! What a fine Ji Qingyun! Looks like you finally comprehended the Medicine God''s Soul Canon!"


    But hearing these words, Ye Yuan heightened vigilance in his heart and said, "You know that my father had the Medicine God''s Soul Canon?"


    He heard his father mentioned it before that there was barely anyone knew about the Medicine God''s Soul Canon. Although the relationship between the Spirit Bristle Divine King and the Medicine King Hall was pretty good, it was not good to that degree!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s vigilant look, Teng Yun smiled and said, "You don''t have to be like this. This seat isn''t your enemy! When Ji Zhengyang obtained the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, I was right beside him!"


    Ye Yuan was incomparably stunned when he heard that. If it was really this case, then Ji Zhengyang and Teng Yun''s relationship was not as simple as on the surface!


    It was just that Ye Yuan was no longer an ignorant person long ago. How could he easily believe these words?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s look of disbelief, Teng Yun continued, "Do you know why I did I impart you this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and thought to himself: Although this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art only had the first-half, without a doubt, it is one of the Divine Realm''s pinnacle-most cultivation method!


    If so, then why would Teng Yun impart it to him?


    Back then, he only naively thought that the medicinal pill he refined was too valuable, that was why Teng Yun would reluctantly part with what he treasured.


    Thinking about it carefully now, this logic seemed to be somewhat flawed.


    It was just that in his previous life, Ye Yuan did not pay attention to these things before. While in this life, Ye Yuan was constantly embraced by hatred and never thought of this problem at all.


    "Actually, the ones who calculated that this era''s Son of Heaven''s Mandate is you weren''t merely just the fiend race! Our human race also have a major power who divined that you''re the Son of Heaven''s Mandate! Imparting you the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was in order to let you cultivate well and protect yourself. But who knew that �� man proposes, while God disposes. I was still a step slow in the end."


    Talking until here, Teng Yun also heaved a slight sigh.


    He was not a member of the Medicine King Hall after all, and he had many matters himself too. It was impossible to keep on staying at the Medicine King Hall.


    Except, he did not expect that the fiend race''s scheme was a stroke higher, resulting in the entire Medicine King Hall to be destroyed.


    Hearing up to here, Ye Yuan was unbelievably shocked in his heart.


    It turned out that in the past several hundred years, the two races'' major powers have already been secretly contending in the dark already.


    And the focal point of contention was on him!


    It was just that in the end, it seemed like it was the fiend race''s major power who was ultimately a notch higher.


    Back then, when the Spirit Bristle Divine King was informed of the Medicine King Hall''s accident, he planned to charge up to the Medicine King Hall but was stopped by the human race''s major power in the end.


    Ye Yuan was perplexed as he said, "Since you know that I''m the Son of Heaven''s Mandate, why not tell me bluntly?"


    Ye Yuan felt that if Teng Yun had told him earlier, perhaps his father would have been able to take precautions early. Maybe there would not be so many things afterward.


    Teng Yun shook his head and said, "Heaven''s secrets cannot be divulged! Moreover, identifying that you''re the Son of Heaven''s Mandate was only a conjecture. The major power could only calculate an approximate location. As for the specifics of who it was, there was no way of determining. I believe that the fiend race''s major power is likely the same as well. Honestly speaking, the former you �� was still lacking the qualifications to be called the Son of Heaven''s Mandate!"


    It was not that Teng Yun looked down on Ye Yuan, but the previous life''s Ye Yuan pursued Alchemy Dao wholeheartedly and completely had no time to attend to the martial path.


    Although Alchemy Dao was powerful, it was unable to overturn the raging tides.


    What could truly lead the human race to rise up was still a martial Dao supreme overlord!


    Ye Yuan suddenly recalled that the Spirit Bristle Divine King had once consciously or unconsciously urge Ye Yuan to cultivate the martial path back then but was directly ignored by him.


    Thinking about it now, turned out that Teng Yun had expended much thought and care back then!


    It was just that, it seemed like his performance in his past life made him somewhat disappointed.


    "The Son of Heaven''s Mandate was already dead. Then what did you do in those few years?" Ye Yuan said.


    Teng Yun looked at him and said smilingly, "Being informed of the news of the Medicine King Hall''s destruction and you guys, father and son''s death, I felt like the sky had fallen down at that time. Who knew that later on, the major power summoned me over and said that there''s still a turning point for the matter and made me dive into cultivation and quietly wait for the appearance of the turning point. Now, I finally know what this turning point is."


    Talking up to here, he let out a sigh and said, "Looking at it now, heaven''s will is hard to infer! Regardless of whether it was the human race''s major power or the fiend race''s, it seems like it was all making a wedding gown for your appearance! They schemed against Heavenly Dao, but never would have thought that they themselves were actually schemed against by Heavenly Dao!"

 1130 Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Arts Origins

    The information obtained out of the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s mouth made Ye Yuan feel an upsurge of emotion too.


    He never thought before that he actually became the center of the whirlpool of the human and fiend, two race''s veiled strife.


    He also never thought that there was actually someone truly capable of prying into Heavenly Dao and calculating everything.


    "The major power that you speak of, just what kind of person is he? With your strength, could it be that you still have to bow down to him?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    From Teng Yun''s words, Ye Yuan could sense that he was very respectful towards that so-called major power.


    Ye Yuan examined himself and thought that he was already very familiar with the Divine Realm. But he had never heard before that the human race actually still had such an existence!


    According to what the people knew, the Ten Great Divine Kings was already the apex of what humans were capable of reaching.


    Who else could make the Spirit Bristle Divine King, this kind of powerhouse, be so respectful?


    Teng Yun shook his head and said, "He said before: we''ll naturally meet if fated. It''s just that right now, the time isn''t right. As for how formidable his strength is, I can''t say for sure either. But �� for me to be able to have today''s fortunes, it was all thanks to him!"


    Teng Yun''s words made Ye Yuan endlessly shocked.


    To be able to foster the Spirit Bristle Divine King, this kind of powerhouse, single-handedly, then how powerful should his strength be?


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "If he really has this kind of strength, why doesn''t he step forward himself?"


    Teng Yun said, "He naturally has difficulties in disclosing! His strength might not be very great, but his prophetic ability is unmatched by all! It was him who told me the news of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art coming into existence. He made me take action to seize it. If not for his guidance, how could I, this martial artist who was only First Level Dao Profound back then, be able to obtain such a heaven-defying cultivation method?"


    This was truly a mysterious existence. He seemed to be an invisible hand, manipulating the entire Divine Realm''s direction.


    Even the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, this kind of heaven-defying cultivation method, he was actually able to accurately predict too.


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing emotionally after hearing it. This was really a terrifying existence.


    It was just that, that fiend race existence did not seem to be some nice person either.


    Under his schemes, Fiendgod Jia Lan and the Holy Mother Devil Flower came into being one after another.


    On this point, it seemed like this human race major power fell into a disadvantageous position again.


    Looking at the current Divine Realm''s direction, it was clearly the fiend race who took the massive upper-hand!


    Thinking about it like this, that fiend race existence seemed to be even more fearsome!


    "Then you coming to save me this time was already divined by that person?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Teng Yun did not deny it and said with a nod, "That''s right! A month ago, I suddenly received his news, making me come to the vicinity of the Holy City. I didn''t think that you were actually being hunted down by Zhuge Qingxuan!"


    Ye Yuan also heaved a long sigh when he heard that and said, "Originally, I planned on exterminating the Yu Soul Sect''s Dao teachings. But I didn''t expect Zhuge Qingxuan to actually come back at this time! However, although I didn''t succeed this time, they suffered a great loss in vitality too!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, with Teng Yun''s composure, he drew a cold breath too.


    Exterminating the Holy City''s Dao teachings, this kind of thing, even he did not dare to think about it. To think that this brat did it!


    When he heard Ye Yuan say that he killed five of the Holy City''s Void Mystic powerhouses and eliminated the Purple-Gold Hall''s divine king powerhouses, he could not help staring aghast with his jaws slack.


    With his cultivation realm, it was already very hard for something to be able to make him visibly moved.


    But Ye Yuan''s actions were undoubtedly a heavyweight bomb, making him incredibly alarmed.


    Only after a long time did Teng Yun said emotionally, "You, this brat, are truly a freak! But this matter was beautifully done!"


    The two people exchanged a glance, both roaring with a hearty laugh.


    Although Ye Yuan''s actions were incapable of wrecking the Holy City''s foundations, it was absolutely able to make it hard for them to bear.


    Divine king powerhouses were not considered much. But Void Mystic powerhouses, each one was extremely valuable.


    Ye Yuan''s indiscriminate killing could be said to have severed half of the Holy City''s foundation.


    "Since you already know about the Yu Soul Sect, then you should also know about the ancient Heaven One Sect, right?" Teng Yun asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, expressing that he was aware.


    "Then do you know where the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art originated from?" Teng Yun asked again.


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that. Could it be that this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art still had a great background?


    Recalling it a bit, seemed like it really was so!


    If not for a great background, what right did Teng Yun have to be evenly-matched with Zhuge Qingxuan?


    Ye Yuan suddenly recalled Skydistant mention before, there had once been three great Origin Deity Realm powerhouses a million years ago. The strongest was Absolute Heaven, next was Zuo Zong.


    While the other person, Skydistant did not say. But he was clearly an exceptionally terrifying existence too.


    Could it be that this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was actually his legacy?


    "Could it be that the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art is the legacy cultivation method of the ancient Nine Suns True Sect?" Ye Yuan said in amazement.


    Teng Yun smiled and said, "That''s right! The sects from a million years ago, the information left behind currently are already extremely few. But this Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and the Yu Soul Sect''s Brahma Heart Sutra were known as the three great unparalleled cultivation methods at that time along with the Heaven One Sect''s Vast Heaven Sword Art! One million years ago, the Nine Suns True Sect''s sect master, Jiang Chen, cultivated it to the eighth level, his cultivation reaching the heavens!"


    Ye Yuan was amazed as he said, "I didn''t think that the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art actually still had such an origin! Senior Jiang Cheng assisted Senior Absolute Heaven and defeated the fiend race with the utmost effort, but he was willing to stay behind the scenes. Truly respectable! Rather, that Zuo Zong left behind a Dao teaching that brought harm for a million years. Simply the disgrace of the human race!"


    Teng Yun deeply felt that way too as he said, "I cultivate the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art. The person that I respect most in this life is Senior Jiang Chen! Ji Qingyun, you entered Dao with the sword, but you never seemed to have cultivated the Vast Heaven Sword Art. This Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s second-half, I''ll impart it to you. If you can have some comprehensions, you can similarly carve out a Great Dao!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent and he said, "You can really bear to part with it?"


    Teng Yun said with a smile, "What''s there to be reluctant about? As long as we can repel the fiend race, forget about a cultivation method, even if it wants this Teng''s life, why not?"


    Toward Teng Yun, Ye Yuan could not help feeling great respect.


    Deity Realm cultivation methods were incomparably precious, let alone the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, this sort of cultivation method that could cultivate to the Origin Deity Realm.


    Teng Yun actually took it out without even batting an eyelid. It could be seen that he did not just obtain the Nine Suns True Sect''s legacy, even the character was passed down too.


    It looked like when this cultivation method chose the successor back then, not anybody could obtain it.


    Everything was foreordained by heaven!


    ...


    Divine inscriptions slowly flowed into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness. The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art within Ye Yuan''s body started to automatically revolve.


    Everything was achieved without effort!


    Ye Yuan''s Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s first-half had not been cultivated fully yet. His comprehensions toward these divine inscriptions were not deep.


    But some of the originally obscure aspects became clear now.


    Under this surge of Divine Dao laws'' putting into motion, Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm actually showed some improving.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan''s comprehension ability was so high, Teng Yun was greatly shocked too.


    Back then, he went into closed-seclusion for 500 years before cultivating the first-half of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to the perfection of the ninth level.


    But Ye Yuan only cultivated this cultivation method for over 20 years and was actually almost reaching the great circle of perfection realm already!

 1131 Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Foreign Land

    "Indeed worthy of being the Son of Heaven''s Mandate. Your talent is truly heaven-defying! With such excellent talent, your previous life was truly wasted!"


    Watching Ye Yuan who broke through to the Sixth Level Dao Profound, Spirit Bristle Divine King had a look of shock.


    Under this contrast, the disparity emerged.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Brother Teng is too modest. Who doesn''t know your talent in the Divine Realm? To be able to comprehend the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art to such an extent, a second one can''t be found in this Divine Realm."


    It was not that Ye Yuan was flattering him. Divine inscriptions were not what anybody could comprehend.


    Like Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, they were likewise the Brahma Heart Sutra''s successors. But regarding comprehension towards divine inscriptions, they could not even see Zhuge Qingxuan''s back.


    Also, the dragon clan similarly had divine inscriptions. But Ao Duo''s comprehension was likewise limited.


    Hence, to be able to comprehend divine inscriptions to such a level, Teng Yun was absolutely a talented prodigy.


    Teng Yun scolded with a peal of laughter, "Aren''t you this second person? I''m only several thousand years older than you. Your accomplishments along this path in the future will surely not be beneath mine! No, wait, with your comprehension ability, you''ll definitely surpass your predecessors!"


    "Oh, right, Brother Teng, I wonder which level your Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art is comprehended to?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked curiously.


    Apart from the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Divine Dao laws were still very superficial.


    Towards the ranking of Divine Dao laws, Ye Yuan was still very fuzzy.


    But Teng Yun was unable to stifle laughter when he heard that and said, "What level can there be? Without Deity Realm cultivation, how can comprehending Divine Dao laws be so easy? To be able to comprehend the first level to the great circle of perfection realm is already very fortunate. Just this first level, this Teng has already comprehended for over a thousand years, and also just barely managed to reach the late-stage of the first level."


    Ye Yuan was unbelievably surprised when he heard that too. Teng Yun, this kind of peerless genius who cultivated along this path for over a thousand years, actually did not even reach the perfection of the first level!


    It could be seen how difficult the comprehension of Divine Dao laws was.


    Except, Ye Yuan also knew that this was primarily still limited to cultivation realm.


    If he was able to break through to the Deity Realm, Teng Yun''s accomplishments definitely would not stop here!


    Right then, Teng Yun took out a piece of jade pendant and passed it to Ye Yuan as he said, "This jade pendant contains a trace of my divine sense imprint. If you need my help, crush it. I''ll naturally rush over. At present, the fiend race is itching to take action. I still have other matters to attend to and won''t accompany you on your journey."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you very much for this trip, Brother Teng!"


    ...


    After separating from Teng Yun, Ye Yuan also behaved in a low-profile manner and hastened along the way.


    This place was still within the Holy Region''s boundary. Ye Yuan was unable to enter into the city and transfer away.


    Probably the moment he entered the city, the Holy City''s side would know.


    With Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength, if he chased after again, it would likely not make it for Teng Yun to want to rush back.


    Hence, Ye Yuan exercised caution along the way and only left the Holy Region after traveling for more than a month.


    Tranquil Sun City was a Rank Two Holy Land''s main city.


    This Tranquil Sun Holy Land was also a vassal holy land of the Holy Region. But this place was already very far from the Holy City. The Holy Region''s control was already comparatively weaker.


    As long as Ye Yuan was a little more careful, there was naturally no harm.


    After entering the city, Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that he seemed to not have much heaven essence crystals on him anymore.


    Inside the Bloodrain Wilderness, in order to set up the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation, Ye Yuan virtually exhausted all of the heaven essence crystals on him.


    Currently, he was practically without a penny in his pocket.


    Riding the transmission array and leaving naturally required a considerable sum of heaven essence crystals.


    "Looks like I got to sell off some things." Ye Yuan said with a sigh.


    Apart from that period when he just ascended, Ye Yuan never seemed to have worried about essence crystals before.


    He did not think that at this time, a single cent stumped a hero.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan had numerous spirit medicines on him. The medicinal pills that he refined were also not in small numbers. There was no harm in selling off some.


    Since it was selling off, Ye Yuan naturally had to find a trustworthy merchant.


    Ye Yuan stopped a martial artist and asked, "This brother, is there a Meteor Trading Company in Tranquil Sun City?"


    The moment that person heard the name Meteor Trading Company, he could not help looking at Ye Yuan with an odd expression and said, "Heh, there is still today, but tomorrow, reckon that there won''t be anymore. This little brother, if you want to buy stuff, it is best to go to the Pola Trading Company. After today, the Meteor Trading Company is going to be thoroughly incorporated into the Pola Trading Company."


    The Pola Trading Company out of the martial artist''s mouth, Ye Yuan was naturally aware it.


    The Divine Realm had a total of nine great trading companies. Eight great trading companies among them were all rank one forces. Only this Pola Trading Company was a quasi-super holy land.


    There was naturally some competition between the nine great trading companies, but it also formed a delicate balance.


    For so many years, the nine great trading companies mostly competed financially.


    This time, it seemed to be somewhat unusual!


    Ye Yuan could not help being very surprised when he heard and asked again curiously, "What does this mean?"


    That martial artist looked at Ye Yuan with a look of disdain and said, "Such a major event happened to the nine great trading companies, and you''re actually unaware?"


    Ye Yuan flushed red and said, "This younger brother stayed for the greater part of a year inside a mystic realm. What happened to these nine great trading companies, I''m really unaware."


    The martial artist had a look of realization and explained, "So that''s how it is! Around half a year ago, the Pola Trading Company suddenly launched an attack, sweeping across the other eight great trading companies with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder, which left no time for covering ears. At present, those of the eight great trading companies who died are dead, and those injured are down. They are already long in tattered wrecks. Only this Meteor Trading Company escaped a calamity instead, because the main boss is missing, and the daughter, Miss Qian-er, has been searching for her father all along! Speaking of which, it''s a coincidence too, that Miss Qian-er just happened to come to this Tranquil Sun City two days ago, but was directly confronted in Tranquil Sun City by the Pola Trading Company''s powerhouses. At present, the two great trading companies are duking it out. Even City Lord, His Excellency, don''t dare to intervene either. I reckon that after tonight, the Meteor Trading Company won''t be able to hold on anymore."


    Hearing these words, monstrous waves surged in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    The nine great trading companies had always been living harmoniously in peace in these thousand years. He did not think that such a sudden turn of events actually occurred.


    Ye Yuan knew that the Pola Trading Company was stronger than the other trading companies, but to say annihilate the other eight houses overnight, they definitely did not have that strength!


    Could it be that �� it was the fiend race causing trouble in-between this again?


    The fiend race could even plant informants in the Holy City. It was still unknown how many contingency plans they set up.


    Them secretly controlling the Pola Trading Company did not have any strange areas at all.


    "This big brother, thank you very much! I wonder where this Meteor Trading Company is at in the Tranquil Sun City?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    "Pass two streets, make a right turn, and you''ll reach it! Young lad, although your strength is decent, I urge that you''d best not tread into the muddy waters. Otherwise, it will be hard to even fend for yourself!" This martial artist was warmhearted and warned him.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands with a smile as he said, "Many thanks to this big brother. This younger brother got it."


    The moment that martial artist left, Ye Yuan''s expression turned grim.


    Even if this matter was not done by the fiend race, Ye Yuan had to stick a hand in as well.


    Matters of the world were hard to predict. Ye Yuan also did not expect that it was so coincidental. Qian-er was actually in this Tranquil Sun City.


    Back then, Ye Yuan had just ascended not long and was considered to have gotten along merrily with her.


    He did not think that this farewell, over a decade had gone by.


    Since Qian-er was here, Ye Yuan had to intervene in it no matter what.

    Meteor Trading Company''s Tranquil Sun Branch, at this time, it was surrounded by a group of experts until it was impermeable.


    Those powerhouses were wearing the Pola Trading Company''s attires. Each and every one of them was actually all divine king realm experts.


    To a trading company, divine king realm experts were not often seen.


    Dispatching out so many at once, was truly rather exaggerated.


    The Meteor Trading Company''s side also had some divine king experts. But each and every one of them was having injuries on them. By the side, even laid quite a number of dead bodies.


    These divine kings guarded a dainty and exquisite girl in the center, who had the appearance of looking at death calmly in the face.


    "Heh heh, little girl, Zhao Qian, hand over the Meteor Star Token obediently. Maybe this old man can still take you in as a concubine and give you a way out. If you put up a stubborn resistance, once Lord Qin Chuan arrives, it''ll likely not be that easy even if you want to die!" said a Pola Trading Company''s middle-aged divine king with a licentious smile.


    This person''s strength already reached peak divine king, bringing along seven to eight of the Pola Trading Company''s divine king powerhouses, and surrounding the Meteor Trading Company.


    The Meteor Trading Company''s powerhouses fought desperately to resist. At present, there were only four or five divine king powerhouses left. They were already an arrow at the end of its flight, a spent force.


    These few people protected Zhao Qian in the middle. There was already no path to retreat.


    But that fair and ethereal face of Zhao Qian''s was filled with despair at this time.


    The Pola Trading Company swept across the eight great trading companies in an overpowering manner. At present, only the Meteor Trading Company survived.


    The Meteor Star Token was the Meteor Trading Company''s cardinal token. One could use it to deploy all of the Meteor Trading Company''s resources. Once seized, the Meteor Trading Company would be thoroughly finished.


    Zhao Qian knew that the other seven great trading companies'' cardinal tokens already landed in the Pola Trading Company''s hands.


    This piece in her hand was the final piece!


    Zhao Qian let out a sigh and said to the elderly person beside her, "Elder Tan, you guys leave! I''ll ask Li Zhong to let you guys leave with the Meteor Star Token as the price. There''s already not much meaning in continuing to defend."


    This Elder Tan was the Meteor Trading Company''s head elder. His strength also reached peak divine king.


    It was also precisely because of him being around that the Meteor Trading Company could last until now.


    It was just that the Pola Trading Company''s Void Mystic powerhouse was already on his way. As long as that Qin Chuan arrived, these people would be all out of luck!


    Elder Tan''s face fell, and he said, "Qian-er, this old man''s old bones are Meteor Star''s man in life and Meteor Star''s ghost in death! You let me leave, where can I go to? This old man will carve out a bloody path right here. The few of you, escort Qian-er away! As long as the Meteor Star Token exists, our Meteor Trading Company isn''t lost!"


    Zhao Qian forcefully held back tears. But she knew that this was merely putting up a last-ditch struggle.


    She held onto Elder Tan and said, "No! The Pola Trading Company concealed too deeply. We can''t escape at all! Elder Tan, you contributed to Meteor Star all your life. I can''t let you lose your integrity in old age!"


    Done talking, Zhao Qian leaped and jumped out of all the guards.


    Facing Li Zhong, she said coldly, "Li Zhong, I''ll give you the Meteor Star Token. Let Elder Tan they all leave! If not, I''ll destroy the Meteor Star Token and let you guys get nothing!"


    The Meteor Star Token was refined with special materials. It was extremely hard to destroy.


    But as the current Meteor Trading Company''s leader, Zhao Qian had the method to destroy it.


    Li Zhong''s expression changed when he heard that and said with a nod, "Fine. There are merely clowns jumping around. What''s the harm in letting them leave?"


    He waved a hand, and the subordinates opened up a path. He was actually really going to let Elder Tan and the others leave.


    These people remaining were all die-hard devotees of the Meteor Trading Company.


    Elder Tan''s expression changed, and he said, "Qian-er!"


    Zhao Qian turned around. Her expression was cold, and she pressed the short-sword in her hand on her neck and said sternly, "Elder Tan, if you all don''t go, Qian-er will die in front of you guys!"


    Zhao Qian did not notice that right at this time, a hint of a hideous grin flashed across the corners of Li Zhong''s mouth. His figure suddenly erupted, heading straight for Zhao Qian!


    Seeing this scene, Elder Tan''s expression changed drastically, and he howled, "Be careful, Qian-er!"


    But it was already too late. Li Zhong was a peak divine king. How swift was his movement technique?


    In just a blink of an eye, he arrived beside Zhao Qian and grabbed towards her arm!


    As long as he restrained Zhao Qian, she would not have any chance to destroy the Meteor Star Token anymore.


    This sudden turn of events came too quickly. Everyone could not react in time at all.


    Zhao Qian''s turned pale with fright and was instinctively going to destroy the Meteor Star Token.


    Just as Li Zhong''s hand had just touched Zhao Qian''s arm, a streak of sword light shot out diagonally, its speed swift to the extreme!


    Puchi!


    Li Zhong''s hand was severed at the wrist!


    "ARGH!!"


    The crowd was flabbergasted. Only Li Zhong''s shrill, miserable cries reverberated.


    Zhao Qian''s hand froze there, and she actually forgot to destroy the Meteor Star Token for a moment.


    The Pola Trading Company''s powerhouses were all akin to facing a great enemy. They completely did not see clearly where this sword light came out from.


    They looked all around and could not find the enemy at all.


    "Who! Who dares to ambush this seat?! Get out here for this seat!" Li Zhong bared his teeth and yelled fiercely.


    Slap!


    Li Zhong''s voice had yet to face when he was directly smacked onto the ground by someone with a slap.


    The Pola Trading Company''s divine king powerhouses were all as if they had seen a ghost.


    This slap, they totally did not see clearly who struck it!


    "Mouth is so stinky, deserves to be hit!"


    A young profile suddenly appeared at the scene, causing everyone to give a sidelong glance.


    When Zhao Qian saw this figure, her gaze was filled with a look of pleasant surprise!


    "Ye �� Ah, no, Ji ��"


    Zhao Qian was just about to call Ye Yuan''s name when she suddenly recalled his other identity and hurriedly correctly herself.


    With the Meteor Trading Company''s information channels, how could they possibly not know the intel of Ji Qingyun returning to the Divine Realm?


    Back then, when Zhao Qian obtained this information, she was stunned for a long time before calming down.


    It was just that she never thought that after a time interval of many years, Lord Qingyun Zi actually made a move and saved her!


    Ye Yuan turned around and said with Zhao Qian with a smile, "No worries. You''d best call me Ye Yuan."


    Zhao Qian''s face became joyful, and she said with a nod, "L-Lord Ye Yuan!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head helplessly and turned around towards the Pola Trading Company''s powerhouses. He asked, "Who will come and tell me who''s controlling the Pola Trading Company right now?"


    Those divine king powerhouse exchanged glances, their faces revealing blank looks.


    Ye Yuan saw their expression and knew that these guys did not know anything at all, and could not help being greatly disappointed.


    Ye Yuan was just about to make a move to annihilate these divine kings when a powerful aura suddenly locked him down.


    "Where did this brat come from? To actually dare meddle in my Pola Trading Company''s affairs?"


    A figure descended from the sky, his aura imposing.


    Seeing this person, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!


    "It''s actually a Void Mystic powerhouse! I didn''t think that the Pola Trading Company''s strength was actually so great, sending out a Void Mystic powerhouse randomly!"


    "Earlier, I still thought that the Meteor Trading Company escaped a calamity. Looking at it now, a disaster is imminent!"


    "That young man''s strength seems to be very formidable. But he''s only Sixth Level Dao Profound. Dealing with divine king powerhouses is still passable, but once Void Mystic powerhouses arrive, it will most likely be fraught with grim possibilities!"


    The moment Zhao Qian saw the arrival, her expression could not help changing greatly as she hurriedly shouted to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, quickly go! This Qin Chuan is the current Pola Trading Company''s protector! He''s a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse! You''re not a match!"Protector, in this case, is like a position, kinda like elders

 1133 Hero?

    "Hahaha, leave? With this seat here, none of you can leave today! Hand over the Meteor Star Token obediently, and I can leave you with an intact corpse!"


    Qin Chuang glared fiercely, with an awe-inspiring appearance. Those people surrounding and watching were silent like cicadas in winter.


    A Void Mystic powerhouse, the martial artists of Rank Two Holy Lands never saw before in their lifetimes too.


    This kind of power, when they saw it, was akin to a god-like existence.


    This Tranquil Sun Holy Land''s holy lord had long hidden himself to god knows where.


    The two great chamber of commerce''s violent clash, he was an innocent bystander who was implicated!


    Zhao Qian blocked in front of Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, your good intentions, Zhao Qian got it! We''ll help you block for a while, quickly go! The Meteor Trading Company is already hopeless. I don''t want to drag you in anymore!"


    "Hahaha! What a fine pair of intimate lovers! However �� do you take this seat to be joking? Today, none of you can leave!" Qin Chuang laughed loudly and said.


    Qin Chuan''s words made Zhao Qian''s face turn red, but she still stubbornly blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly, but pulled Zhao Qian aside and said to Qin Chuan, "You''re called Qin Chuan, right? According to what I know, there''s no Void Mystic powerhouse called Qin Chuang in the Pola Trading Company. Where did you pop out from?"


    Qin Chuan''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "Where this seat come from, could it be that I still have to report to you, this little brat? Want to know, go down and ask the king of hell!"


    Qin Chuan gave a savage laugh, his divine king domain was suddenly unleashed, and he charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold. The Evil Extermination Sword Formula was abruptly released!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan did not move a muscle, while Qin Chuan directly flew out backward. He already sustained severe injuries!


    The air billows stirred up by the sword intent directly toppled the martial artists in the distance over.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with endless astonishment, casting towards him with looks of incredulity.


    "Is that young man really Sixth Level Dao Profound? He sent a Void Mystic powerhouse flying with one sword. Could it be that my eyesight is failing?"


    "Didn''t people say that what''s capable of dealing with divine king domains were only divine king domains? That young man seemed to have only released one slash!""


    "Really saw a ghost! Just now, seeing a Void Mystic powerhouse made me excited for a long time. I didn''t think that he was so frail!"


    ...


    These people would not understand the terror of Ye Yuan''s sword intent at all. But this did not hinder them from sighing with admiration towards this sword.


    Because Ye Yuan''s opponent was an invincible existence, a Void Mystic powerhouse!


    This Qin Chuan''s strength was far from Zhao Lingdong''s. His divine king domain was at most also just a thousand feet in range.


    Ye Yuan''s exterminating him was merely a matter of a flick of his fingers.


    Just now, when the divine king domain attacked, Zhao Qian thought that she was dead for sure, but did not think that the situation changed so quickly.


    In a blink of an eye, Qin Chuan, this Void Mystic powerhouse, was defeated.


    Lost at the hands of Ye Yuan who was only Sixth Level Dao Profound!


    Zhao Qian''s beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yuan, with a look of disbelief.


    Over 10 years of not seeing him, Ye Yuan''s strength was actually downright horrifying already?


    Ye Yuan came before Qin Chuan and said coolly, "You still have one last chance. Right now, is the Pola Trading Company already controlled by the fiend race or not?"


    "What? Fiend race! Could this Qin Chuan be of the fiend race?"


    "It''s impossible, right? What he used was clearly human race cultivation method!"


    "Who is that young man? Why would he know that this Qin Chuan is of the fiend race?"


    Ye Yuan''s words caused a commotion in the crowd.


    Fiend race this name made everyone''s countenance change from talking about it.


    Qin Chuan''s expression changed when he heard that, his eyes revealing a panicky look as he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I �� I don''t understand what you''re saying!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said smilingly, "Don''t understand, is it? Reveal your true face. Otherwise, you don''t have the chance anymore!"


    Ye Yuan pressed forward step by step. Qin Chuan crawled on the ground and retreated step by step.


    Ye Yuan slowly raised his sword. A powerful aura finally made Qin Chuan unable to endure it!


    Boom!


    Fiendish energy billowed to the sky. Powerful black qi instantly enveloped Qin Chuan inside.


    Qin Chuan''s aura actually became much stronger compared to before!


    "Damn human! This seat will tear you into a thousand pieces today!" Qin Chuan said ferociously.


    Everyone was stupefied by this sudden turn of events. Although that surging fiendish energy was unfamiliar, this state that was vastly different from humans instantly made everyone understand that this person was of the fiend race!


    The fiend race actually appeared once more!


    For a moment, this information was akin to a plague, spreading out in the crowd.


    "Quickly run! Legends have it that the fiend race eats people! Quickly run!"


    "This fiend became much stronger all of a sudden. I reckon that he''s even stronger than Void Mystic powerhouses! Quickly run!"


    "The Divine Realm''s sky is going to change! Legends have it that when the fiend race descends, it''s a calamity of the world!"


    Havoc erupted in the crowd. Those martial artists all lost their wits in fear and panic, fighting to escape.


    The feeling that Qin Chuan gave them was too dangerous. Although Ye Yuan exhibited powerful strength, under the impact of this aura, it was still incapable of making them feel reassured.


    "Hahaha �� All go to hell for this seat, despicable humans!"


    Qin Chuan''s fiendish energy surged towards those martial artists wantonly. Clearly, he was going to go on a massacre.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his expression could not help turning grim, and he said with a cold snort, "A mere fiend emperor, this young master has already slaughtered God knows how many. To actually dare be insolent in front of me!"


    Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity!


    One sword unleashing, a peerlessly tyrannical sword energy instantly extinguished that fiendish energy.


    Evil Extermination was the jinx of fiendish energy. This sword, Ye Yuan used divine essence. It was like directly crushing dead leaves and branches, utterly eradicating Qin Chuan.


    Although this fiend emperor was strong, he was also not stronger than the Devil Ridge Three Freaks.


    To the current Ye Yuan, it was not considered much.


    The reason why he dawdled until now was only in order to bait some things out of his mouth. He did not think that this guy immediately went berserk.


    Those martial artists were currently fleeing helter-skelter when they suddenly discovered that that powerful fiend energy vanished without a trace.


    Looking again, that Qin Chuan with a shocking aura was already left with less than dregs at this time.


    That crisscrossing sword energy was currently slowly dissipating.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan like they had seen a ghost. This Sixth Level Dao Profound young man directly exterminated a fiend emperor?


    "Well done, Your Excellency! You''re our hero!"


    In the midst of shock, no idea who shouted either, the others immediately came to their senses.


    At once, clamoring shouting echoed.


    If not for Ye Yuan, Tranquil Sun City was bound to be plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering.


    These people took Ye Yuan to be their hero from the bottom of their hearts.


    By the side, Zhao Qian''s eyes swiveled around, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at Ye Yuan.


    That young man back then already matured into a great hero?


    No, it should be that he was a hero in the first place!


    This man was a man who had once stood at the summit of Alchemy Dao!


    But seeing this sight, Ye Yuan sighed slightly in his heart.


    These people were lucky. They were completely unaware just how powerful the fiend race force was.


    The one who was killed just now was merely a trivial little fiend emperor; that was all.


    What was truly terrifying were fiendgods like Jia Lan!


    One Jia Lan was already sufficiently terrifying. But behind the fiend race, there was even a more terrifying Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo!


    Perhaps before long, that scene earlier would spread throughout the entire Divine Realm, right?

 1134 Nine Phoenix Island

    Zhao Qian did a curtsy towards Ye Yuan and said gratefully, "Many thanks for Young Master Ye''s life-saving grace. This lowly girl is endlessly grateful."


    Elder Tan and the group of elders also bowed and saluted Ye Yuan, saying, "Today, if not for Young Master Ji, our old bones would have to be buried here!"


    Elder Tan and Zhao Xingchen were sworn brothers. He had naturally seen Ye Yuan before as well. Hence, he was still used to calling Ye Yuan Young Master Ji.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand with a smile and said, "All are old friends already. Everyone, there''s no need to be courteous. Rather, Miss Qian-er, why would you show up in Tranquil Sun City?"


    Zhao Qian''s expression dimmed and said, "These few years, Qian-er has constantly been searching for Father''s whereabouts. A few days back, Tranquil Sun City''s side here sent over news, finally confirming that the place Father last disappeared was in the vicinity of Tranquil Sun City! Hence, Qian-er brought along several elders and rushed over through the night. Didn''t think that �� we actually evaded a besiegement."


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "This Tranquil Sun City is merely a Rank Two Holy Land. What did Brother Zhao come here for?"


    At this time, Elder Tan suddenly interjected, "Qian-er doesn''t know about this. But this old man knows a little about it. Back then, the head boss said that he obtained news of the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea, then he left the Meteor Star Trading Company, his whereabouts unknown ever since. It''s just that, I wonder why he viewed this Silvermoon Heavenly Tea as so important."


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled when he heard that, his heart twitching violently.


    Elder Tan did not know, but Ye Yuan knew why.


    Previous life, a few years before Ye Yuan perished, he had once requested Zhao Xingchen, to make him pay attention to the whereabouts of the Dao Defying Pill''s nine great core medicines.


    After he told finish, Ye Yuan did not pay extra attention to the Meteor Star Trading Company''s affairs. After all, these nine major core medicines could be chanced upon, but not by searching for it.


    This Silvermoon Heavenly Tea was precisely one of the nine major core medicines!


    Could it be that Zhao Xingchen actually went missing because of helping him find spirit medicines?


    It seemed like there was only this possibility too.


    Previous life, although Ye Yuan and Zhao Xingcheng were not considered to be on intimate terms, their relationship was also considered pretty good.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not think that Zhao Xingchen actually took to heart his matters.


    Perhaps Zhao Xingchen had some intention of currying favor with those in power, but no matter what, he had indeed risked his life. Until now, his life or death was still unknown.


    "What''s wrong, Young Master Ye?" Zhao Qian asked carefully.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s great display of divine might today, Zhao Quan knew that this man had already ascended to the summit once more.


    He and she were already people of two different worlds. She quietly put away that romantic thought.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, "I''m fine. I was on close terms with Brother Zhao. Since I encountered it, there''s no logic of not rescuing. Tell me about what information you guys found."


    The moment Zhao Qian heard, she could not help being overjoyed.


    Ye Yuan''s strength, she had witnessed it today.


    That Qin Chuan''s strength was fearsome, but he could not even last past one move under Ye Yuan''s hands!


    The might of Ye Yuan''s strength could be seen at a glance!


    With him around, the hope of rescuing Father clearly increased greatly.


    Zhao Qian did not hesitate at once, spilling out the information that the Meteor Star Trading Company found.


    There was an enormous stretch of sea region north of Tranquil Sun City, called Garnersky Sea Region.


    This stretch of sea region was as vast as hundreds of millions of miles, spanning over a dozen major regions. It was the Divine Realm''s number two major sea region.


    Over 20 years ago, Zhao Xingchen set off for the Garnersky Sea Region from Tranquil Sun City. In the end, he never came back.


    But the Meteor Star Trading Company inquired for a long time in Tranquil Sun City and finally inquired an intel. It was that Zhao Xingchen seemed to have gone to the Garnersky Sea Region''s Nine Phoenix Island back then.


    Zhao Qian''s group coming to Tranquil Sun City this time was in preparations of setting off for Nine Phoenix Island. But did not think that such an unforeseen accident actually happened.


    Hearing Zhao Qian''s description, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed together, and he muttered to himself, "Nine Phoenix Island? It is said that this Nine Phoenix Island is a deathtrap. Even if Void Mystic powerhouses enter, they might not be able to come out either. Brother Zhao actually went to the Nine Phoenix Island along by himself?"


    But when Zhao Qian heard, she nodded and said, "Legends have it that the Nine Phoenix Island is the place where a phoenix met with its death. The power of flames is extremely staggering. Even if Void Mystic powerhouses enter inside, a single misstep and they would also be burned to death by the fire spirit! Furthermore, obstacles inside are extremely numerous. One must acquire the Clear Eye Token to be able to enter inside. It''s just that what kind of item this Clear Eye Token is, nobody has ever seen before."


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help turning slightly grim when he heard it. Entering the Nine Phoenix Island for over 20 years and never came out, Zhao Xingchen was likely fraught with grim possibilities.


    But now that it came to this, Ye Yuan naturally had to make a trip.


    "Alright then, you guys wait for my news in Tranquil Sun City. I still have a matter to attend to. After a few days, I''ll make a trip to the Nine Phoenix Island and search for Brother Zhao''s traces," Ye Yuan said.


    But Zhao Qian said obstinately, "No way! Young Master Ye, I know that you have good intentions, but I finally managed to find Father''s news. I must go and take a look. Even if �� even if I see his corpse, I''ll have no more illusions about the matter as well!"


    Elder Tan also urged, "Young Master Ji, Qian-er is showing her filial piety. These past few years, she has practically been running around to search for the main boss''s whereabouts. Now that it''s already right in front of her, how is there the logic of not going in? Furthermore, us staying in Tranquil Sun City might not be safer than Nine Phoenix Island. The Pola Trading Company overwhelming at present. They have probably long been infiltrated too deeply by the fiend race already. They don''t have just Qi Chuan, one Void Mystic powerhouse! Qin Chuan being eliminated by Young Master Ji, they definitely won''t take things lying down."


    What Elder Tan said made sense too. It was indeed not very safe for their party to remain here.


    But Ye Yuan did not wish to bring them along. Even Elder Tan was a burden to Ye Yuan too.


    Rather than bringing them along, he might as well enter himself.


    It was just that Zhao Qian''s stubborn appearance, Ye Yuan also knew that saying anymore was futile. He could only nod his head and say, "Fine then. Since that''s the case, go together then. But I''ll say the nasty stuff first. When the time comes, heed my command for everything. Otherwise, once there are any accidents, don''t blame this Ye for not acknowledging relations!"


    Ye Yuan face fell, having the air of a powerhouse naturally. Even Elder Tan did not dare to defy as well and hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Young Master Ji. We''ll definitely heed your instructions!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan did not move out right away because he wanted to help Ao Qian refine the Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill.


    He pooled together the remaining spirit medicines in the Bloodrain Wilderness. Coupled with the Ethereal Blood Ginseng that he acquired at the Chaotic Devil Sea, he could just nice refine the Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill!


    The Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill was already the pinnacle-most origin consolidating and bolstering among mystic grade medicinal pills.


    If not for Ye Yuan comprehending the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, in his current state, he absolutely could not refine it.


    But along with his divine soul''s strength increasing with each passing day, the transformation of the gold-colored divine soul also made significant headway!


    With his Sixth Level Dao Profound essence energy coupled with the gold-colored divine soul, refining this Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill was naturally nothing difficult.


    Three days later, the Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill was formed!


    Holding this medicinal pill in his hand, tears coursed down Ao Qian''s old face.


    "I really didn''t think that this old man would actually still have a day where I could recover my strength! Milord, Old Ao''s old bones will be sold to you in the future!" Ao Qian said, shedding tears of gratitude.


    Ao Qian was speaking from the bottom of his heart here. He really did not think that there was still such consummate alchemy skill in this world, to actually let him come back from the dead, recovering his strength.


    Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "Alright, alright! Quickly consume it! Already so advanced in age and you''re still so melodramatic! Not ashamed either!"

 1135 Sea Race

    Above the Garnersky Sea Region, several figures were flying.


    Along the way, Zhao Qian and Elder Tan were incredibly shocked.


    "Elder Tan, Young Master Ye was clearly still only by himself a few days ago. Where did he find so many peak divine king experts in these few days?" Zhao Qian transmitted her voice.


    "These few people are not merely peak divine king experts! If I didn''t see wrongly, these few people are probably all Void Mystic powerhouses! Especially that curly-bearded burly man. He gives this old man an even more unfathomable feeling!" In Elder Tan''s voice transmission, exuded thick astonishment.


    The curly-bearded burly man out of Elder Tan''s mouth was precisely the Ao Qian who consumed the Nine Melody Origin Vitalizing Pill.


    Currently, Ao Qian already thoroughly recovered his strength. The aura exuding from his body was naturally different from the rest.


    It was just that they all did not release their pressure. Hence, Elder Tan also could not say for sure just how powerful Ao Qian''s strength was.


    "A-All Void Mystic powerhouses?" Zhao Qian''s opened her eyes wide and drew a deep breath.


    When were Void Mystic powerhouses plentiful to the extent of being everywhere?


    "That gray-robed middle-aged man, if I didn''t see wrongly, he should be the Extreme Sword Divine King who has already disappeared for a long time! As for the other two, this old man had never seen them before. If my conjectures are right, there must be a high-grade spatial holy artifact on Young Master Ji. These few people have always been hiding inside his spatial holy artifact!"


    Elder Tan was experienced and knowledgeable, guessing close to the mark.


    But it was precisely because so that the shock in their hearts was even less capable of increasing further.


    Because these few mighty Void Mystic powerhouse actually viewed Ye Yuan as the boss!


    The two people exchanged a glance, both sucking in a breath deeply.


    They all knew that just based on this force before their eyes, it was sufficient to let Ye Yuan establish a super holy land anew!


    "En?"


    While flying, Ye Yuan''s brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he stopped.


    "What is it, milord?" Ao Qian asked.


    "It seems like there are several auras that are not weak drawing closer to us," Ye Yuan said.


    Ao Qian was stunned and said, "Milord, are you mistaken? I didn''t detect anything amiss."


    Ao Qian looked at Kuang Tianming and Jiang Taicang. The two people also shook their heads with blank looks. Clearly, they did not perceive anything too.


    "Go ahead first. That bunch of people seems to be heading in the direction of the Nine Phoenix Island too."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took the lead and flew off, making Ao Qian and the rest have vacant looks.


    Before long, Ao Qian''s expression turned cold. Sure enough, he detected several powerful auras heading over to this side.


    He could not help looking towards Ye Yuan in amazement and said, "Milord, your perception �� radius is truly too wide."


    He already completely recovered his strength currently. His perception also increased substantially.


    Taking a broad view across the entire Divine Realm, not many people whose perception range was wider than his could be found too.


    But Ye Yuan was only Sixth Level Dao Profound. His perception range was actually several times greater than his!


    How could this not make him shocked?


    While at this time, in the seawaters far away, several silhouettes broke through the waves and arrived, their speed incomparably strange.


    Initially, their direction was heading towards the Nine Phoenix Island. But seeing Ye Yuan''s party, they turned directions and came over here.


    Kuang Tianming, Jiang Taicang, and the rest also looked towards Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    "Younger Brother, this perception of yours is also truly too frightening! 15 minutes before, you actually discovered them already!" Kuang Tianming said with a marveling sigh.


    With everyone''s speed, traveling several tens of thousands of miles with 15 minutes of foot strength was still achievable.


    It was also to say that Ye Yuan''s perception range was actually a scope of several tens of thousands of miles further than them!


    This disparity was also truly too great!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Wait till you guys comprehend Heaven Man Unity. You''ll naturally be able to do it too."


    Ye Yuan''s words involuntarily made everyone choke up. Each and every one of them looked at him and could not resist rolling their eyes.


    How could Heaven Man Unity be so easy to achieve?


    It was also just Ye Yuan this freak who cultivated heart realm to the realm of perfection when at the Sixth Level Dao Profound.


    "It''s the sea race! It seems like �� their arrival don''t have good intentions!" Ao Qian suddenly frowned and said.


    Around ten figures drew a long trail on the surface of the water.


    The group of people bore down menacingly. Clearly, they were not easy to deal with people.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Tens of figures shot out of the water surface, directly surrounding Ye Yuan and the others.


    It was just that these people''s looks were very ugly. Most had fish heads and human bodies, looking very unnatural.


    "Haha, despicable humans! Offer up the essence crystals and treasures on you, and we''ll spare your lives!" said a merman with a large head and big ears.


    This merman''s strength was extremely astonishing. It had clearly already reached the degree of human Void Mystic powerhouses. His heaven and earth comprehension was really not weak.


    Not just him, among his clansman, there were actually four people who were all Void Mystic powerhouses!


    Seeing this kind of power, Zhao Qian and Elder Tan''s faces instantly turned deathly pale.


    The few sea races did not conceal their auras. That one in the front was even more than a grade stronger compared to that Qin Chuan!


    Furthermore, the moment they emerged, it was five Void Mystic powerhouses. This made the two of them exceedingly worried.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help saying in surprise, "I didn''t think that the sea race''s strength is actually so powerful! Randomly bumped into a group and they are Void Mystic powerhouses!"


    The sea race and human race stayed out of the other''s affairs. Both parties'' contacts were very few.


    For martial artists whose strengths were slightly weaker, once they stepped foot into the Garnersky Sea Region, it was basically little chance of coming out alive.


    Under this calm sea surface, concealed enormous danger.


    How many powerhouses were among the sea race, the human race did not know either.


    Ao Qian nodded and said, "The sea race is numerous in numbers, even many times more than the demon race. Producing some Void Mystic powerhouses is naturally nothing difficult."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, expressing his acknowledgment and continued, "It''s just that, although the cultivation realm is high, it seems like their brains aren''t too lucid!"


    The moment Ao Qian and the rest heard, they all raised their heads and started laughing hard.


    These two people chorused in unison, not putting this group of sea folks in their eyes at all!


    The big-headed and large-eared merman very under what Ye Yuan they all were talking about very quickly and could not help saying furiously, "Damn humans, to actually dare besmirch the noble sea race! You guys are dead for sure! Shark One, Shark Three, Shark Four, Shark Five, everybody attack! Tear them apart!"


    "Pfff! Could it be that the sea race all have this intellect? Don''t even know how to name?" Ye Yuan could not refrain from laughing when he heard that.


    He shrugged his shoulders and said to Ao Qian, "Old Ao, you should be itching, right? These few guys, leave it to you to loosen up your bones and ligaments!"


    Ao Qian had an excited look and said, "Hehe, alright! Milord, wait for a bit and watch the fun by the side."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and brought everyone and retreated to one side.


    The group of sea folks was still chasing them when all of a sudden, a terrifying aura instantly enveloped them.


    "Dragon Prancing the Four Seas!"


    After a time interval of 20 thousand years, Ao Qian''s divine king domain was released at its full power for the first time!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!


    Because Ao Qian''s divine king domain was actually 10 thousand feet wide!


    Within a 10 thousand feet radius, it was all Ao Qian''s domain of water!


    Especially Elder Tan and Zhao Qian, the two people, their eyes were almost popping out.


    Such a strong divine king domain, it was still seldom-seen in their lifetime!


    "Old Ao''s strength seems to be slightly stronger compared to Cloudsky they all. It looks like he comprehended some Divine Dao laws. It''s just �� a little too shallow," Ye Yuan appraised Ao Qian by the side.

 1136 Another World

    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Essence energy overflowed in the sky. Ao Qian had a grand display of invincible might.


    Although those few sea folks were strong, they could not withstand Ao Qian''s iron fists either.


    Before long, five great Void Mystic powerhouses were thoroughly beaten into submission by Ao Qian.


    Seeing Ao Qian''s strength, Zhao Qian and Elder Tan were utterly stunned.


    "10 thousand feet radius divine king domain! This lord he �� His strength can likely already rival the Eight Great Super Holy Lands'' holy lords!" Elder Tan said with a sigh of admiration.


    "Along the way, he called Young Master Ye with ''Milord''! Such a powerhouse is actually Young Master Ye''s servant!" Zhao Qian looked towards Ye Yuan with an anxious and doubtful look.


    Meeting Ye Yuan once again, she suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was just like the sun high above, dazzling until it made people unable to stare right at it.


    This kind of disparity made Zhao Qian feel deeply inferior.


    "Not fair! Despicable humans, fighting on land, we''re at a disadvantage! If you have the capabilities, go into the water with me to battle!" Shark One barked.


    Clang!


    Shark One''s voice had yet to fade when a streak of terrifying sword light brushed past his ear.


    "Whoa! Scared me to death!" Shark One was taken aback with fright by this sword and cried out weirdly.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly, and he stepped forward, "All shut your mouths for this young master! Otherwise, I''ll kill everyone off!"


    Those sea folks were shocked by this sword of Ye Yuan''s, all becoming silent like cicadas in winter.


    Even the Shark One who was talkative also sensibly did not talk at this time.


    The deterrent power of that sword just now was even more terrifying than Ao Qian''s divine king domain.


    Because they all knew that if Ye Yuan really wanted to kill people, Shark One would already have died just now!


    "Now, I ask, you answer. If I discover that you''re lying, kill without mercy!" Ye Yuan said with a very grim expression.


    That fish face of Shark One was currently flickering erratically with alarm and fear.


    He finally knew that he kicked a metal plate today!


    These few sea folks were also used to running amuck. Normally, when they ran into humans in the sea region, they basically had the policy of ''burn all, kill all, loot all,'' and would not even give humans a way out at all.


    In the course of time, they felt that humans were easy to bully.


    Therefore, the moment they saw that there was a group of people over here, especially that the group''s strength was weak, they directly pounced over.


    Who could have thought that these few people''s strengths were actually so formidable.


    "Yes, yes, yes! Your Excellency, go ahead and ask! Shark One definitely won''t dare to tell lies!" Shake One hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, "Are you guys headed for Nine Phoenix Island?"


    Shark One was cowed by Ye Yuan''s aura and did not dare to lie, hurriedly saying, "Yes, Your Excellency. We were going to Nine Phoenix Island!"


    "You guys frequently go to Nine Phoenix Island?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    "Yes. Every three months, Nine Phoenix Island will have a large-scale trade far. Our sea folks'' are scarce in resources. Hence, we''ll frequently come here to take part in the trade fair." Shark One said.


    This news took everyone aback.


    The Nine Phoenix Island that was a deathtrap in the legends actually had a large-scale trade fair!


    People all thought that the Nine Phoenix Island was an uninhabited island. No one expected that did this place has people. In fact, it seemed like it was not just a few of them.


    "Who organized this trade fair?" Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    But Shark One shook his head and said, "Not too sure about this. I only heard that he''s called Heavenspan Island Master. I don''t know anything else about the rest."


    "Heavenspan Island Master? Have you all heard of this name before?" Ye Yuan had never heard of this name before and could not help asking the others.


    The others also had blank looks. Clearly, they all had not heard before.


    But it was very apparent that this Heavenspan Island Master was a very powerful guy.


    Otherwise, with the sea folks'' stubborn and unruliness, organizing this kind of trade fair, wouldn''t all hell break loose?


    "Tell me in detail about what you know of the trade fair''s situation!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Shark One did not dare to dawdle, telling about the trade fair''s situation without omitting any details.


    Turns out that this trade fair was actually conducted for a thousand years already!


    Those coming to take part in this trade fair must hold a Clear Eye Token. Otherwise, they will be lost in the fog barrier outside the island.


    Not only was there deadly poison in this fog barrier, but there were also even extremely powerful fire spirits.


    Once encountered, even Void Mystic powerhouses would be burned to ashes too!


    And those taking part in this trade fair was not just the sea folks, there were even quite a few humans, even demon race powerhouses.


    It was just that those coming to participate in the trade fair were mostly all some itinerant powerhouses. The experts from sects were extremely, extremely few.


    Moreover, people possessing the Clear Eye Token were also a fixed group. Therefore, those who came to take part in the trade fair in these thousand years were mostly fixed. There were only some minor changes.


    Listening up to here, Ye Yuan came to a realization why the outside world knew so little about the Nine Phoenix Island.


    This was a relatively sealed exchange circle. It was basically very hard for outsiders to come in.


    To enter the Nine Phoenix Island, one must have an insider''s recommendation and obtain the Clear Eye Token.


    Furthermore, those able to enter the Nine Phoenix Island, the lowest had to be Divine King Realm powerhouses too.


    Ordinary people would most likely be killed by the sea folk before even reaching this area of the sea region.


    One had to admit that this Nine Phoenix Island concealed itself very deeply!


    And that Heavenspan Island Master was a mysterious and hard to fathom individual.


    "Over 20 years ago, there was a human powerhouse called Zhao Xingchen who looked somewhat similar to her, who had once entered the Nine Phoenix Island before. Do you have an impression?" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.


    Zhao Xingchen''s and Zhao Qian''s looks had some similarities. If Shark One saw before, he should have some impression.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s question, Zhao Qian also turned towards Shark One with a nervous look, hoping to obtain some useful information out of his mouth.


    It was just that, Shark One would clearly disappoint her.


    Only to see Shark One shake his head and say, "The human divine king powerhouses that I''ve seen before these few years are at least a thousand too. How can Shark One remember?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and asked again, "Then �� roughly 20 years ago, did someone inquire about the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea before on the Nine Phoenix Island?"


    Shark One thought about it and said, "Silvermoon Heavenly Tea, 20 years ago, it really appeared before. It''s just that this kind of treasure, the people vying for it at that time were too many. In the end, it was acquired by a mysterious human powerhouse."


    When Ye Yuan heard this, his eyes could not help lighting up. He asked again, "What did that human powerhouse look like?"


    But Shark One shook his head again and said, "That person covered himself up entirely. I completely could not see through."


    Ye Yuan could not help being slightly disappointed. It was very likely that that human powerhouse was Zhao Xingchen.


    But where did he go in the end?


    "Alright, lead the way in front, to Nine Phoenix Island!" Ye Yuan said.


    What should be asked had been asked entirely. Ye Yuan naturally would not stop to ponder too long.


    He also did not think that the Nine Phoenix Island, where few people tread, actually had another world!


    ...


    With Shark One blazing a trail, the party traveled incomparably smoothly.


    Five days later, this party finally bid the boundless sea farewell and saw a stretch of fog ahead.


    "Your Excellency, ahead is the Nine Phoenix Island!" Shark One said weakly.


    Ye Yuan looked over. Ahead was a stretch of chalky whiteness. One completely could not see clearly what was inside.


    It was just that there were occasionally some yellow flames spurting out, erupting with a horrifying aura, striking terror in the hearts of people!


    "Y-Your Excellency, we �� we only have two Clear Eye Tokens!" Shark One said rather fearfully.

 1137 What You Said Makes a Lot of Sense

    Seeing Shark One''s comical expression, Ye Yuan was tickled.


    Shark One was very clever. He saw that Ye Yuan was completely ignorant about the Nine Phoenix Island''s matters and knew that Ye Yuan definitely did not have Clear Eye Tokens on him.


    Reaching the Nine Phoenix Island, he was very scared of Ye Yuan snatching their tokens.


    One token could only let one person go in. The remainder would have to wait outside the island.


    If Ye Yuan snatched away their two tokens, Shark One''s trip would be considered in vain.


    "When have I said that I''m going to snatch your tokens?" Ye Yuan could not help laughing in spite of himself.


    With this, everyone was stunned.


    "Milord, not snatching their tokens, how do we go in? Those fire spirits seem to be very powerful. Furthermore, this fog barrier seems to secretly encompass array formations. It''s not easy to cross!" Ao Qian said.


    "Yeah, Young Master Ji. Shark One already said, for so many years, there has never been anyone who entered without relying on the tokens before," Elder Tan also said.


    Zhao Qian pretty eyes swirled around, but she did not speak. But the puzzled look in her eyes was similarly considerable.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "They only have two tokens. Even if we snatch it over, only two of us can go in. Who''s entering then?"


    Ye Yuan''s words stumped everyone.


    However, Shark One was wildly elated and said, "Y-Your Excellency, you''re really not going to snatch our tokens?"


    Ye Yuan directly gave him a kick and said huffily, "Scram inside! Keep being long-winded and your tokens will belong to this young master!"


    Shark One jumped in fright and hurriedly rolled and crawled together with Shark Two, entering inside the mist barrier.


    "Milord, this ��" Ao Qian asked in bewilderment.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You all just follow me will do. How can a mere fog barrier block this young master?"


    Done talking, a hint of brightness flooded Ye Yuan''s eyes. That mist barrier instantly became open and clear.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil could see through myriad things in the world. A mere fog barrier naturally could not stump Ye Yuan.


    The moment the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil opened, it came into plain view.


    Ye Yuan shuttled back and forth inside the fog barrier, akin to strolling idly in a courtyard.


    Suddenly, a terrifying fire spirit suddenly dashed out, pouncing straight at everyone.


    The party''s expression changed drastically, feeling like their entire person was going to be melted.


    Ye Yuan yelled out coldly, "Fiery!"


    A figure whirled away, pouncing straight for that fire spirit.


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gaze, Fiery actually extended both hands, directly hugging the fire spirit in his arms!


    Then, a scene that made people even more astonished occurred.


    Fiery directly lowered his head, picked the fire spirit up, and started chomping down!


    "This �� This is a primordial spirit?" Elder Tan said with an astonished look.


    Even if he was a primordial spirit, to be able to resist such a terrifying fire spirit, he was also a remarkable existence!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Fiery was incarnated from a Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus and can devour myriad flames of the world! These fire spirits are a great tonic to Fiery."


    "C-Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus?" Elder Tan could not refrain from swallowing hard, his eyes filled with a look of shock.


    A primordial spirit transformed by a Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, it was hard to come across even once in 100 thousand years!


    He looked at Ye Yuan, endlessly shocked in his heart.


    Disappearing for 20 years, what the hell did Ji Qingyun go through?!


    This guy was simply ridiculously monstrous.


    Along the way, Fiery swallowed quite a number of fire spirits. But his aura became stronger and stronger, making everyone jumpy with fear.


    This guy even burped and said with a bashful look, "so full."


    Everyone broke down.


    After half a day, it suddenly became bright and clear before everyone''s eyes. They finally arrived at a stretch of land.


    The place ahead was actually like a town, streams of people busily coming and going, flowing in an endless stream.


    "To be able to set up a trade fair on this stretch of sea region, the strength of this place''s master can''t be underestimated!" Ao Qian said.


    "Y-Your Excellency, you really entered! This �� How is this possible?"


    Suddenly, a strange cry sounded out. The voice was filled with shock. Who could it be if not Shark One?


    "Not needing the Clear Eye Token and being able to enter the Nine Phoenix Island, it has never happened before in these over one thousand years!" In Shark Two''s voice was similarly filled with alarm.


    "Making a big fuss over nothing! There are plenty of things that you haven''t seen before! How can my lord be what small fish like you can gauge? Then have you seen before a Sixth Level Dao Profound capable of killing you?" Jiang Taicang said with a gloating look.


    Shark One was stunned and actually really pondered it seriously. Only after a while did he suddenly come to a realization. He said, "En, what you said makes a lot of sense. His Excellency is indeed not an ordinary person. Shark One is impressed!"


    The sea race similarly revered the strong. Ye Yuan''s strength already completely convinced Shark One.


    Furthermore, after Ye Yuan defeated them, he did not make things difficult for them and even did not snatch the Clear Eye Tokens.


    The Shark One, who had simple thoughts, was truly grateful toward Ye Yuan.


    But the commotion over this side still startled quite a few people in the town.


    Each and every one of them surrounded over, like they discovered priceless treasures, sizing up Ye Yuan and the others.


    "No way, right? They don''t have Clear Eye Tokens and are actually able to barge into the Nine Phoenix Island. Truly inconceivable!"


    "Yeah. Nine Phoenix Island has already operated for over a thousand years. I''ve never heard before of anyone capable of directly forcing entrance inside."


    "There''s probably some precious treasure on these few people, right? Otherwise, the fire spirits on the island are sufficient to annihilate them!"


    The moment ''precious treasure'' two words were uttered, quite a number of people''s gazes revealed a look of greed.


    To be able to enter the Nine Phoenix Island, most were not weak.


    Among them, there were no lack of some extremely confident Void Mystic powerhouses.


    A precious treasure capable of avoiding the fog barrier and fire spirits, how could they not be moved?


    Shark One''s pair of fish eyes blinked, and he secretly chuckled to himself.


    These guys did not know how terrifying this lord in front of them was!


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Old Ao!"


    "Yes, my lord!"


    Ao Qian received the order and opened his mouth to give a crazed howl. Violent essence energy instantly spread throughout the entire island!


    Everyone''s expression changed drastically, all becoming hesitant and fretful.


    "It''s a dragon cry! They are members of the dragon race!"


    "This dragon has such formidable strength!"


    "Better don''t poke our noses into what isn''t our business. There will naturally be the island masters they all to handle. We''d better go!"


    These few people witnessing Ao Qian''s strength, how could they still have covetous eyes? All of them backed up and started to trade by themselves.


    "Heh, a bunch of things who overestimate their own ability! To actually dare have wicked designs on His Excellency!" said Shark One. He was trying to suck up and curry favor, ingratiating himself.


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and discovered that this guy also did not seem to be as pure as imagined. It seemed like he was just a little simple-minded.


    "Shark One, it''s our first time coming to this Nine Phoenix Island. Bring us to tour around," Ye Yuan said.


    Shark One hurriedly said, "Okie dokie. To be able to bring Your Excellency to tour the Nine Phoenix Island is Shark One''s honor! But �� we''d better hold off for a bit."


    Ye Yuan was stunned and said, "Why?"


    "Your Excellency entered the Nine Phoenix Island without using the Clear Eye Token. The few island masters definitely won''t sit by idly and remain indifferent. If I didn''t guess wrongly, they are already on their way!" Shark One said.


    Sure enough, Shark One''s voice had yet to fade when three figures slowly walked over.


    The middle-aged man walking in the middle came close, gave a salute to Ao Qian and said, "This dragon race brother, I wonder what business you have for coming to my Nine Phoenix Alliance?"

 1138 Hei Meng

    That roar of Ao Qian''s earlier had astonishing power. These few people naturally detected it too. Otherwise, they absolutely would not be so polite.


    It was just that they mistakenly thought that Ao Qian was the leader of this company.


    "Milord, what are we here for?" Ao Qian had a blank look and asked Ye Yuan.


    "Milord?"


    The person in the middle sized Ye Yuan up oddly. But no matter how he looked, Ye Yuan was also just an ordinary Sixth Level Dao Profound.


    Ye Yuan did not think anything of it either and said coolly, "I''m Ye Yuan. These few are my followers. I heard that the Nine Phoenix Island has good stuff that the outside world doesn''t. But we don''t have Clear Eye Tokens either, so we could only arbitrarily intrude inside. If there are inconvenient areas, please be magnanimous enough to forgive."


    At this time, Shark One scooted to Ye Yuan''s side and said, "The one in the middle is the second island master, Hei Meng. The one on the right is the third island master, Duan Lingfeng. The one on the left is fourth island master, Hong Tao."


    Hei Meng naturally knew Shark One. When he saw Shark One''s attitude toward Ye Yuan, he could not help being exceedingly shocked in his heart.


    Shark One was a regular customer of the trade fair. His character and strength, Hei Meng was still very clear about it.


    But this proud Shark One was actually so respectful towards Ye Yuan!


    Straight away, Hei Meng did not dare to look down on Ye Yuan anymore either and said with cupped fists, "Haha, so that''s how it is! Our Nine Phoenix Island is the most hospitable! Since Younger Brother Ye wants to take a look, just tour around on the island then. Shark One, you''re a regular customer of the Nine Phoenix Island. I''ll have to trouble you to bring Younger Brother Ye around to sightsee more. But �� the rules on the island, you''re aware too. Places that you should not go, you must be sure not to go!"


    Talking to the back, the gaze Hei Meng looked at Shark One with carried a warning intent.


    Of course, these words were actually said for Ye Yuan to hear.


    Even though Hei Meng did not offend Ye Yuan and his group, it seemed like Hei Meng did not fear them as well.


    The three island masters took their leave and left. Ao Qian said unhappily, "Those three fellows are so cocky! Milord, talk so much crap with them for what? Just directly capture and interrogate!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don''t look down on those few people. That Hei Meng''s strength might not be beneath yours! His original body is of the sea race''s black shark. I didn''t expect that the sea race actually still had such a powerhouse!"


    Ao Qian''s expression could not help turning somber, and he said, "No way, right? That guy was so powerful? Could it be that 20 thousand years passed, this world has changed?"


    Actually, Ao Qian''s sense of defeat was still very strong during this period of time.


    He was that era''s dragon race''s strongest. But put in the present, a large group of people could come out and pummel him.


    This second island master that popped out from no idea where, his strength was actually not beneath his!


    This sort of contrast between expectations and reality seriously made him unable to accept it.


    But Ye Yuan''s words, he was still very convinced of it. He absolutely would not ramble nonsense to demoralize him.


    "I sense a faint power of Divine Dao laws from him. Even if it''s just a wee bit, it already surpasses ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses. Furthermore, behind them even have a mysterious and hard to fathom Heavenspan Island Master! Hence, we''d best be more low-profile," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan''s heart realm reached the great circle of perfection. He was very sensitive towards the surrounding everything.


    The aura coming off of this Hei Meng'' body was indeed the aura of Divine Dao laws.


    With this, Ao Qian had no more rage.


    "Milord, then what should we do now?" Ao Qian asked.


    "Take a look around first," Ye Yuan said.


    ...


    "Second Brother, could it be that we''re letting that brat go just like that? He could avoid the fog barrier and fire spirits. He definitely has precious treasures on him!" said the first island master, Duan Lingfeng.


    "Yeah, Second Brother. The few of them, only that dragon race fellow has some power. But Second Brother, you dealing with him should be enough. The remainder, Third Brother and I are enough to them take down! Since they intruded into the Nine Phoenix Island, even if we kill them, nobody would dare to take behind our backs too," said the fourth island master, Hong Tao.


    These three island masters were actually eyeing those imaginary precious treasure on Ye Yuan covetously, discussing about killing Ye Yuan''s party.


    Hei Meng mused for a moment, shook his head, and said, "That young man is not simple!"


    Duan Lingfeng said without a care, "Isn''t he just a Sixth Level Dao Profound? What''s not simple about it? Could it be that a Sixth Level Dao Profound can still overturn the heavens?"


    Hei Meng said, "Didn''t you notice Shark One''s attitude towards Ye Yuan? Shark One''s strength is almost on par with you! But Shark One was very fearful of that young man! They entered one after another. In my view, Shark One definitely already exchanged blows with that group of people outside!"


    "So what if exchanged blows? They have a peak void mystic powerhouses. Isn''t it very normal to lose?" Hong Tao said disdainfully.


    "Heh, if that were the case, what would I have to dread? Shark One is very simple-minded, but he isn''t dumb! His attitude toward Ye Yuan is completely from the bottom of his heart. If that dragon subdued him, he absolutely would not be like so toward Ye Yuan! Therefore, he might very likely be that young man''s vanquished foe!" Hei Meng analyzed.


    "Hiss ��"


    Duan Lingfeng and Hong Tao drew a cold breath at the same time, their eyes filled with shock.


    "A Sixth Level Dao Profound defeating a Void Mystic powerhouse? This �� This isn''t possible, right?" Duan Lingfeng said in disbelief.


    "Although I don''t believe it either, Shark One''s disposition absolutely can''t hide from my eyes! This young man is absolutely not simple!" Hei Meng said.


    Duan Lingfeng and Hong Tao were both extremely shocked. But they both knew that not only was Hei Meng''s martial strength super strong, his mind was sharp. He absolutely would not see wrongly.


    It was just that this outcome, made them both unable to accept.


    "Second Brother, could it be that �� we are dropping this matter just like that?" Duan Lingfeng said unwillingly.


    Hei Meng said with a smile, "The spirit medicines that Big Brother requires, this time, it can finally be gathered together! As long as he can breakthrough, even if this punk is any stronger, it''s of no avail too! Hence, as long as this punk doesn''t stir up trouble, have him wait first! In my view, they definitely have other objectives for coming onto the island. They won''t leave in a short time too."


    Only after hearing these words did the two people''s brows finally eased up.


    "Heh, it''s still Second Brother, you, who calculated every conceivable possibility. That Qiu Yuqiu, to actually be able to find the Purple Lingzhi, that grade of spirit medicine, it''s really heaven''s blessing!" Duan Lingfeng said with a big laugh.


    ...


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he was also struck dumb with amazement by the dazzling array of treasures on the island.


    This Nine Phoenix Alliance was simply a paradise for martial artists!


    There were many spirit medicines here and many treasures, all of which could not be seen in the outside world.


    He did not think that this place had everything under the sun.


    There were even many treasures that even Ye Yuan had not seen before.


    But the prerequisite was that you got to have things that satisfied the other party!


    This place is where one could only exchange a commodity for another. They did not accept essence crystals. Even if you were any richer, you could not buy the things you wanted too.


    "Tsk tsk, this trade fair is really remarkable! Also, I don''t know who this Heavenspan Island Master is, to actually be able to put up such a grand trade fair!" Ye Yuan said with a vicissitude of emotions.


    Shark One said by the side, "Yeah, Lord Ye Yuan. If not for the goods here being a dazzling array of beautiful exhibits, how can it possibly attract so many powerhouses over? Right now, among these people, there are quite a number who broke through their bottlenecks because of this trade fair!"Broke through bottleneck because they attended/bought things at this trade fair.

 1139 Pearl Have Tears

    In the outside world, wanting to find these grades of spirit medicines and treasures was really not easy.


    But here, everyone had good stuff in their hands, each taking what they needed, swapping out what they did not want for what they needed. This was impressive.


    "Shark One, did you bring any good stuff here this time around?"


    Shark One had a proud look as he said, "Of course! Our merman clan''s Pearl Have Tears is the most welcome exchange goods in the trade fair."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "Vast sea, bright moon, Pearl Have Tears. One drop of Pearl Have Tears can match a hundred years of bitter cultivation! What age of Pearl Have Tears do you have?"


    This Pearl Have Tears was precisely one of the nine major core medicines!


    Ye Yuan had always been searching for Pearl Have Tear''s whereabouts. He did not think that it was actually in this merman clan''s hands.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s heated gaze, Shark One said, "The best that I brought is only 500-thousand-year-old. Furthermore, there''s only one drop."


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan could not help revealing a disappointed expression and said, "One-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears, you all should have it, right? I wonder what kind of thing your merman clan wants to exchange for?"


    500-thousand-year-old, one of that age was already worth several cities and extremely rare.


    But one-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears, that was an extraordinary rare treasure. Even when placed in the merman clan, it was likely an extremely valuable existence too. Ordinary things were likely unable to move them.


    As expected, Shark One''s expression changed, and he said, "This isn''t what Shark One can make a decision about! One-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears, that''s something that only the patriarch has the qualifications to make use of."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Everything has a price. Although the Pearl Have Tears is precious, your merman clan has got to be lacking something. Otherwise, you wouldn''t have come to this trade fair either!"


    Shark One revealed a ruminating look and opened his mouth to say, "Actually, I''m here this time on Patriarch''s orders, to exchange for several kinds of 500-thousand-year-old spirit medicines. It''s just that �� even if exchanged for it, it''s very hard for our sea folks'' alchemists to refine out a complete medicinal pill too."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled.


    Refining pills this sort of thing, wasn''t it precisely his forte?


    "What kind of medicinal pill do you want to refine?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s interested look, Shark One said in surprise, "Your Excellency, you even know alchemy?"


    "What a joke! If milord doesn''t know alchemy, then nobody in this Divine Realm knows!" the Jiang Taicang by the side said mockingly.


    Shark One did not pay attention Jiang Taicang''s ridicule, but he sized Ye Yuan up carefully once more. Clearly, he did not quite believe it.


    Ye Yuan''s Martial Dao talent was so high. To be able to have such accomplishments at a young age, even if he was any more prodigious, he needed to cultivate painstakingly too.


    How could such a genius martial artist possibly be an alchemist?


    "Your Excellency, this medicinal pill is to be refined for our young patriarch. But it''s a demonic pill; furthermore, it is a mystic grade demonic pill!" Shark One said carefully.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "About this, you don''t have to care. I''m only asking you. If I have the spirit medicines and help you all refine the medicinal pill, can it match one drop of one-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears or not?"


    "This �� If Your Excellency can really refine it, I believe that Patriarch should agree!" Shark One thought it over for a while and said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright. Send someone back to the clan right now and ask instructions from your patriarch. The matter of the medicinal pill, leave it to me!"


    Shark One was stunned and said, "But you haven''t asked what kind of medicinal pill it is yet!"


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Whatever medicinal pill is all the same to me!"


    Shark One staggered and almost stumbled to the ground.


    Seen before arrogant, but never saw before so arrogant!


    This kind of big talk, somebody actually dared to boast about it too!


    If not for that sword of Ye Yuan''s previously stunning Shark One, he would definitely have gone for a bite right now.


    But the matter concerned Young Patriarch''s survival. Shark One did not dare to be careless and still sent someone back to request instructions from Patriarch.


    Shark One narrated the spirit medicines required once. Ye Yuan was rather surprised after hearing it and said, "So, it''s the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill. This demonic pill isn''t easy to refine. Even for the demon race''s peak Alchemy Emperors, those able to refine it are extremely, extremely few too. Looks like your young patriarch had his inner-core shattered by someone, his demon essence collapsed and dissipated!"


    One sentence, made Shark One''s fish eyes become wide saucers.


    "Y-Your Excellency actually know about the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill?"


    It was not up to Shark One to not be shocked. This Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was an ancient pill formula. In the entire sea race, there were also no more than a few tribes that had the pill formula. And the merman clan was precisely one of them.


    However, having the pill formula was one thing. Whether or not they could refine was another matter.


    The sea race''s resources were scarce to begin with. Alchemy skills were not developed in the first place. Wanting to refine it was as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    Shark One''s trip here to exchange for spirit medicines was also just harboring the mentality of making a last attempt to remedy a hopeless situation, and returning to find the sea race''s alchemists to give it a shot.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually hit the nail on the head!


    However, Ye Yuan''s next sentence directly made him had a breakdown.


    "Knowing is one thing, but this young master only saw it before in books and records. However, there was no specific pill formula. This young master also never refine it before," Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said.


    On that ancient record, there was only the introduction of this demon pill. But as for the specifics of how to refine, it did not go in detail.


    If it was in his previous life, Ye Yuan would really not dare to make this guarantee, saying that he was definitely able to refine it.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s understanding toward the Medicine God''s Soul Canon grew deeper with each passing day. His Alchemy Dao strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath as his previous life.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan''s extremely solid medicinal theory standards, Ye Yuan had absolute confidence in being able to refine it!


    Seeing that bitter fish-faced of Shark One, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Rest assured, this young master taking action is absolutely stronger than your sea race''s alchemists! I think medicinal pills will be in very high-demand at this trade fair. In a while, you just follow me will do."


    Only after Ye Yuan walked by him did Shark One notice that the others were looking at him with eyes like they were looking at an idiot.


    Jiang Taicang walked by him, patted his fish head, and said with a sigh, "Blockhead, not just anybody can call on milord to refine pills."


    Ao Qian also walked past him and scolded, "Simpleton, to actually doubt milord''s strength!"


    Elder Tan gave him a glance and said sympathetically, "Young Brother, your eyesight is too poor!"


    Zhao Qian was much better than the rest. She said with a broad smile, "Relax, there are no medicinal pills that Young Master Ye can''t refine in this world."


    Shark One had a flabbergasted look. But he also realized that Lord Ye Yuan''s alchemy standards seemed to really be very high!


    High until he was unable to imagine it!


    Circling one round, Ye Yuan stopped at a stall. A small section of tree roots aroused his attention.


    At the stall, two people were currently quarreling endlessly.


    "Old Xie, this is you in the wrong! We agreed the last time, Astral Heavenly Soul Pill in exchange for Coiling Dragon Spirit Root. Now, you''re not exchanging. What''s the meaning of this?" shouted a martial artist the top of his voice.


    The stall owner, Old Xie, said expressionlessly, "The preciousness of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, I believe that you''re aware of it too. I told you the last time, the lowest is middle-grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill. But what you brought is low-grade. How do you want me to exchange it with you?"


    "Old Xie, the Astral Heavenly Soul Pill is a mystic grade medicinal pill. How can it be that easy to refine? Isn''t it making things difficult for people to want middle-grade?" said the martial artist with his face reddened to the ears.

 1140 Return to the Furnace and Reforging!

    Old Xie gave that person a glance and said coldly, "Not exchanging means not exchanging. Could it be that you still want to force a transaction? Zhou Yun, don''t you forget Nine Phoenix Island''s rules!"


    Mentioning the rules, Zhou Yun immediately shriveled up.


    The rules on this Nine Phoenix Island were not to force a transaction, and not to kill a person and seize his goods.


    Upon discovering, immediately sentenced to death!


    Although the powerhouses here were many, there were completely none capable of reaching Hei Meng''s level of strength.


    Peak Void Mystic was not what anybody was capable of achieving.


    Ye Yuan watch by the side for a long time. At this time, he spoke up to that Old Xie, "Your Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, as long as it''s a middle-grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill, it will do?"


    Old Xie looked at Ye Yuan and rolled his eyes. He said, "As long as? Could it be that you can take it out? If you can take it out, so what if giving it to you?"


    The Zhou Yun by the side looked at Ye Yuan with a vigilant look. Clearly, he was really afraid of Ye Yuan taking out an Astral Heavenly Soul Pill.


    Ye Yuan smiled, but paid Old Xie no heed, and said to Zhou Yun, "This older brother, what do you think about this? I''ll return your Astral Heavenly Soul Pill back to the furnace to reforge and refine it a bit. This Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, we each get half."


    The Coiling Dragon Spirit Root was greatly beneficial to body cultivators. Ye Yuan noticed that this Zhou Yun was precisely a body cultivator. His strength had already reached peak Divine King.


    Actually, when body cultivators reached an extremely high realm, they were even more terrifying than essence energy martial artists.


    Their body''s defense could be rated as perverse. If carried on to cultivate an extremely formidable martial technique, it was virtually sweeping away those in the same rank.


    This Coiling Dragon Spirit Root was very important to Zhou Yun. Hence, after he saw it the last time, he practically wiped out all of his savings, inviting the Alchemist Association''s Alchemy Emperor powerhouse to refine the Astral Heavenly Soul Pill.


    But regretfully, the other party only refined out a low-grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill.


    This almost made him go crazy!


    It was too bad that although Zhou Yun''s strength was not bad, he did not dare to offend the Alchemist Association''s big-shot.


    Moreover, inviting alchemists to refine pills was taking responsibility for the grade to begin with.


    Even if he found trouble with him, it was not reasonable either.


    Feeling helpless, he still came to the Nine Phoenix Island, wanting to find Old Xie to exchange for the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root. But Old Xie did not go for it at all.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s suggestion, Zhou Yun had an astounded look.


    Once the medicinal pill was refined, it was basically fixed and unchangeable already.


    There were those capable of purifying a medicinal pill to raise its grade. But those were all existences who had reached the acme of perfection in Alchemy Dao.


    Could this young man before their eyes accomplish it?


    Furthermore, the refining difficulty of the Astral Heavenly Soul Pill was immensely high. The difficulty of purification was even more unimaginable.


    Wanting to raise the grade, this was virtually an impossible to complete task.


    "Young man, don''t joke around! I know you guys are very strong, but pill refinement can''t be spoken irresponsibly. Purifying the Astral Heavenly Soul Pill, even the Alchemist Association''s Lord Quanxing Zi probably can''t accomplish it. You �� better forget it!" Zhou Yung shook his head helplessly and said.


    Even if it was a low-grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill, taking it out to sell could sell for quite a bit of money too.


    If he let Ye Yuan ruin it, that was not getting any benefits at all.


    Old Xie observed coldly from the sidelines and did not speak. But the eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with was filled with scorn.


    Purifying a peak Tier 9 medicinal pill, wasn''t it talking nonsense?


    At this time, quite a few people were drawn over by the commotion over here, and all scoffed their contempt toward Ye Yuan.


    Although Ao Qian displayed extremely powerful strength, pill refinement was not something that could be accomplished in one stroke.


    "The difficulty of purifying medicinal pills is several times greater than refining medicinal pills! This brat really dared to say it!"


    "This kind of irresponsible remarks, he really dared to boast! This brat is probably some reclusive super faction''s young master, learned a few days of alchemy and really thinks himself to be extraordinary."


    "Purifying a peak Tier 9 medicinal pill, even Chairman Jing Fengtian won''t dare to make this boast either, right? You look at that expression of his. One would even think that purifying medicinal pills is stir-frying vegetables."


    ...


    Medicinal pills was a very sensitive matter in this trade fair. Among these people surrounding and watching, there was no lack of some varying ranks of alchemists.


    They all knew that purifying peak Tier 9 medicinal pills was even harder than refining some mystic grade medicinal pills!


    This kind of thing was not easy to brag.


    Ye Yuan''s age was too young. How could such an age possibly do it?


    Toward these people''s ridicule, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to it, but he said to Zhou Yun, "How about this? This medicinal pill of yours is already useless either way, so why not sell it to me? How''s that? But after selling it to me, this Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, you won''t have your share anymore."


    Zhou Yun''s expression changed, and a look of struggle involuntarily surfaced on his face.


    He really did not know where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    But the expression on Ye Yuan''s face was very calm, as if he had everything planned out.


    A low-grade spirit medicine, even if it was a Tier 9 spirit medicine, the price was definitely already far beyond the capital he put in.


    Finally, Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, seemingly making up his mind. Handing the medicinal pill to Ye Yuan, he said, "This old man is going all out today! Refine it! If it''s ruined, just take it as this old man working in vain for these few decades!"


    His decision gave everyone a huge shock.


    Following that, was floodwaters-like taunting.


    "Old Zhou, this gamble of yours is a bit big! Even if it''s a low grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill, it''s at least worth 50 million high-grade heaven essence crystals too. If it''s ruined, there won''t be a single cent anymore."


    "Yeah. This boy''s hair isn''t even fully grown. Whether or not he knows alchemy is a question. You really dare to gamble."


    "Hahaha, Old Zhou, if you don''t want this medicinal pill, why not directly gift it to me!"


    Zhou Yun glared and said to everyone, "This old man''s medicinal pill, this old man is happy about it. What do you all care?"


    But Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that. Receiving the medicinal pill from Zhou Yun''s hands, he said, "A smart decision! Relax, I won''t disappoint you!"


    Boom!


    A thunderous loud bang. A 30 thousand catty medicinal cauldron appeared in front of everyone.


    Dragon Sovereign Cauldron!


    Following Ye Yuan''s dragon blood grade becoming higher and higher, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s power also became greater and greater!


    This Dragon Sovereign Cauldron was an existence that was only lacking one step to be able to step into divine artifact back then. The power was immeasurable.


    When everyone recognized the power of this Dragon Sovereign Cauldron, they instantly could not laugh anymore.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word. In front of everybody, he deployed the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame and started purifying the Astral Heavenly Soul Pill.


    Very soon, the mockery on those people''s faces became astonishment.


    Ye Yuan''s refining method was extremely profound. Even if they did not know alchemy, they actually became lost in wonder from watching too!


    Those people who knew alchemy were even more shocked to the core.


    Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao level was more than a hundred times stronger than them!


    This was the style of a great master!


    Similarly, among Alchemy Emperors who were watching, they discovered to their dismay that they could not understand Ye Yuan''s refinement at all.


    The disparity in-between this was too great!


    A master of his generation!


    This young man was absolutely an Alchemy Dao master of his generation!


    At this moment, they were incomparably certain in their hearts.


    After roughly two hours, Ye Yuan collected the essence fire.


    Medicinal pill formed!


    When Zhou Yun saw the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hands, he was excited until his face turned red.


    "Gambled correctly! Hahaha, this old man gambled correctly! Hahaha ��" Zhou Yun was unbelievably agitated as he raised his head to the skies and laughed hard.

 1141 Clues

    "High-grade, but smaller in size. Although the medicinal effect can''t be compared to an actual high-grade pill, it should be more than adequate compared to middle-grade. How is it?"


    Ye Yuan passed the high-grade Astral Heavenly Soul Pill that was a size smaller in front of Old Xie.


    Because during the first refinement, many components were already lost. Ye Yuan was also unable to make it appear out of thin air.


    But through Ye Yuan''s return to the furnace and reforging, the purity of the medicinal pill was more than a grade high, and it already reached high-grade.


    It was just that the medicinal effect was definitely quite a bit worse compared to a genuine high-grade.


    Old Xie trembled all over. Only now did he awaken, looking toward Ye Yuan with a stunned look. Until now, he still did not quite dare to believe it.


    "O-Of course!" Old Xie said rather slowly.


    "Then this Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, this young master is taking it away."


    Ye Yuan casually threw the medicinal pill to Old Xie. Reaching his hand out and grabbing, he threw the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root into the air.


    He casually pointed. A streak of sword energy shot towards that Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, directly dividing it into two.


    "Old Zhou, this is yours!"


    Ye Yuan threw half of the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root to Zhou Yun, while he put away the other half.


    This Coiling Dragon Spirit Root was similarly very important to Ye Yuan. His fleshly body power was stuck at the bottleneck of middle-stage Tier 9 to late stage.


    Following his fleshly body realm getting higher and higher, the remnant of the primeval dragon bone''s power was already becoming lacking.


    This primeval dragon bone had, after all, experienced more than a million years. The power had long waned a lot already.


    To be able to support Ye Yuan''s cultivation all the way until now was already the limit.


    Right now, for Ye Yuan to want to have a breakthrough in fleshly body, there was only by relying on outside power.


    But this was not a major problem for Ye Yuan.


    He had quite a few pill formulas in his hand, all for body cultivators'' usage.


    With this half section Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, Ye Yuan was very confident in him breaking through to late-stage Tier 9.


    Zhou Yun received the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root and was incomparably thrilled.


    This feeling of recovering what one previously lost was truly too wonderful.


    Although it was only half a section, if without this young man in front of him, not only would he not even get half a section, he would even suffer a major loss.


    Toward Ye Yuan, he only had gratitude remaining!


    "Master, this Zhou had eyes but couldn''t see previously and rebutted Master. Master, please don''t take offense!" Zhou Yun gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Huhu, snatched half of your Coiling Dragon Spirit Root, I should be hoping that you don''t take offense."


    Really talking about it, Ye Yuan was considered to have gained something without risking anything of his own this time.


    Except, without his refinement, none of the three of them could get any benefits.


    But now, it was a win-win-win situation.


    Zhou Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master is too kind. Zhou Yun wouldn''t dare. It''s just that ��"


    Talking to the back, Zhou Yun suddenly became bashful.


    How could Ye Yuan not see through his thoughts? He said with a smile, "I can help you refine the Crimson Firmament Tyrannical Body Pill. But you''ll have to prepare the spirit medicines yourself."


    Body refinement reaching late-stage Tier 9, it was not that there was no way of advancing anymore.


    Corresponding to the Void Mystic of essence energy realm, body refinement likewise still had room for improvement.


    Except, wanting to reach the body refinement''s great circle of refinement realm, was as hard as ascending to the heavens!


    Hence, that was why Zhou Yun viewed this half section of Coiling Dragon Spirit Root incomparably importantly.


    If not for fear of the island''s rules, he even had the thought of snatching.


    But now, Zhou Yun was wildly elated when he heard Ye Yuan''s words.


    With the Crimson Firmament Tyrannical Body Pill, his fleshly body would be able to advance a step further. His strength would absolutely be able to rival initial-stage Void Mystic powerhouses.


    This to him was undoubtedly ascending to the heavens in one bound!


    For body cultivators, the hardest step to take was this step!


    "That is, of course! That is, of course! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"


    Zhou Yun was overjoyed and directly knelt down towards Ye Yuan with a thud.


    After this bout, everyone''s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan became different.


    This young man was simply a freak!


    It was fine that his Martial Dao cultivated to the Sixth Level Dao Profound at a young age, his strength in alchemy was actually so terrifying!


    "Master, I have a 200 thousand years old Cloudmist Qingluo. Do you want to come over and take a look?"


    "Master, I have an Extreme Desire Mystic Dew. Come and take a look!"


    "Master, I have a Heavenly Evil True Fruit, do you require it or not?"


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan became a high-in-demand figure in this trade fair. Each time he came before a stall, he would be welcomed by people with smiles.


    The people in this trade fair, many would look at the treasures first, then exit the Nine Phoenix Island, and would then invite some alchemists to refine medicinal pills before carrying out the transaction.


    Now, Ye Yuan''s appearance utterly smashed the status quo. He became a scalding hot figure on the island all at once!


    ...


    In a pavilion on the island, Duan Lingfeng''s face was very grim.


    "I truly didn''t think that not only is this brat''s Martial Dao strength shocking, but he also has such terrifying strength in alchemy too!" Duan Lingfeng said.


    Hei Meng was clearly very surprised too. But he smiled and said, "Old Third, we have accumulated staggering wealth in this 1000 years. Could it be that you still take fancy on this bit of share? As long as Big Brother breaks through, what is there we want that can''t be obtained? However, I also did not think that this brat''s Alchemy Dao strength was actually so terrifying."


    "Second Brother, now, I also feel that this brat is rather peculiar! Why not, we''d better kill him off!" Duan Lingfeng said.


    Hei Meng said in a solemn voice, "Wait a while more and see! As long as he doesn''t stir up trouble, ignore him for the time being. Our objective is still the Purple Lingzhi! When Big Brother moves out in time, disposing of them while he''s at it isn''t too late either!"


    Duan Lingfeng heaved a sigh and said, "Alright then!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan strolled for a long time, but he did not encounter things that moved him anymore.


    Of course, his primary objective was not to exchange goods with others, but to search for traces of Zhao Xingcheng.


    This trade fair had a thousand people. Moreover, there were all sorts of races. The matter had passed for over 20 years too. Wanting to find clues was exceedingly difficult.


    In one day, Ye Yuan only merely sauntered half a street.


    This Nine Phoenix Island prepared residences for all of the guests. Although Ye Yuan''s party came unexpectedly, there were still rooms available.


    In the evening, Zhou Yun dropped in, and he actually brought over the spirit medicines for refining the Crimson Firmament Tyrannical Body Pill.


    It seemed like this guy already prepared a long time ago for this.


    Ye Yuan did not refuse either, directly accepting the spirit medicines, and agreeing to refine for him.


    But the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan himself wanted to refine was a grade lower than the Crimson Firmament Tyrannical Body Pill, called Refined Steel Bone Tempering Pill.


    But this medicinal pill similarly required the Coiling Dragon Spirit Root.


    As for the other spirit medicines, Ye Yuan was not lacking of them.


    The second day, Ye Yuan did not show up in everyone''s line of sight. This involuntarily made those stall-owners somewhat disappointed.


    However, Ao Qian brought Zhao Qian along and continued searching for clues on the island.


    The third day morning, Ye Yuan walked out of his room and saw Zhao Qian currently pacing around in front of his door, appearing very anxious.


    The moment she saw Ye Yuan come out, she immediately came forward.


    "Looking at your appearance, is it possible that there''s some discovery?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Young Master Ye, I discovered that a person actually has my father''s treasure on him! Perhaps he''s the person who exchanged the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea with my father!"

 1142 You Just Say Yes or No!

    The person Zhao Qian was talking about was called Qiu Yuqiu. In this trade fair, he was a figure who was all the buzz too.


    This is because virtually every time he came over, he would bring some things that made people felt greatly moved.


    It was just that his things were too good. There were not many people capable of exchanging for them.


    This person''s strength was very formidable too. Ye Yuan reckoned that he was at the very least not weaker than Zhao Lingdong.


    For an itinerant cultivator to be able to cultivate this kind of boundary, it was still very rare.


    "This brother, can you let you take a look at that copper coin on you?" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    On that Qiu Yuqiu''s body, hung a copper coin.


    Don''t look at how this copper coin was unassuming. It was a transcendent-grade holy artifact, capable of killing people imperceptibly.


    Ye Yuan had seen before this copper coin, so he recognized it at a glance.


    But Qiu Yuqiu did not even lift his eyelids. He did not make a sound, taking no notice as he basked in the sun, a look of pride.


    Ever since after that day, when Ye Yuan purified the medicinal pill, this was still the first person who had such an attitude towards him.


    Ao Qian was just about to fly off the handle when he saw the situation but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    He smiled and pointed at the purple-colored ganoderma on the booth and asked, "This Purple Lingzhi of yours, how to exchange with it?"


    At this time, Qiu Yuqiu finally lifted his eyelids and stretched lazily as he said, "High-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill. Provide the spirit medicines and pill formula on your own. If there isn''t, go to one side and play."


    When the Ao Qian by the side heard these words, his temper flared up at once!


    "You''re courting death! Just a lousy ganoderma, to actually dare boast so shamelessly!" Ao Qian roared.


    Ao Qian''s roar immediately drew everyone''s attention.


    Ye Yuan''s company became everyone''s focal point once again.


    "Master Ye actually provoked Qiu Yuqiu. I say, will they come to blows or not?"


    "Qiu Yuqiu is famous for being a stone in the latrine, stinky and hard!"


    "This guy relied on the fact that he''s able to find some natural treasures and has always been arrogant without limit! I didn''t think that he also dare to be so arrogant toward Master Ye!"


    ...


    Everyone talked at once. Clearly, this Qiu Yuqiu was famed for being condescending.


    However, Ye Yuan understood from Shark One there that this Qiu Yuqiu really had some capability.


    The things he found were virtually the best in this place!


    And that Silvermoon Heavenly Tea was precisely obtained from Qiu Yuqiu''s hands 20 years ago!


    Qiu Yuqiu gave a cold laugh and said, "The lousy ganoderma, it is this price. Either exchange or don''t!"


    Ye Yuan gestured at Ao Qian, stopping his outburst, and said coolly, "Transcendent-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill. I want the Purple Lingzhi, the copper coin on you, plus some intel!"


    Qiu Yuqiu choked up and finally sat upright, sizing Ye Yuan up seriously.


    "This is for real?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You just say yes or no!"


    Qiu Yuqiu said somberly, "If you''re really able to refine a transcendent-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill, of course it is yes! But, if you wreck it, don''t blame me for taking action against you!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Before the medicinal pill is refined, it has nothing to do with you!"


    Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill, as its name suggested, was refined with over a hundred types of spirit flowers, with the power to artfully seize fate!


    To a powerhouse like Qiu Yuqiu, the most important was naturally comprehension toward Heavenly Dao.


    If Ye Yuan really refined a transcendent-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill, it was sufficient to let his divine king domain expand as much as 200 feet!


    Don''t look down on this 200 feet. This increase and its impact on his strength were not just a tiny bit.


    This radius of 200 feet, if he comprehended himself, it would likely need several hundred years.


    Ye Yuan helped him to save several hundred years of time all at once. How could he not be moved?


    While a high-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill, at the very most, could only help him to expand a distance of 50 feet.


    The difference in this, Qiu Yuqiu was all too clear.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said to everybody in the surroundings, "I need a 500 thousand years old Mystic Citrus Flower, a 200 thousand years old ��"


    Ye Yuan reported over 30 types of flower names in one go, causing those stall owners to all check their inventories, to see if there were the corresponding flowers or not.


    These over one hundred types of spirit flowers, Ye Yuan had over 60 types on him.


    Apart from several types of 500-thousand-year-old core medicines being harder to come across, the rest was not too big of an issue.


    This trade fair had a thousand powerhouses. Gathering these hundred types of spirit flowers was not difficult either.


    For Ye Yuan to want to obtain these spirit flowers, it naturally meant helping them refine pills.


    Over 30 types of spirit flowers, these required over 30 types of medicinal pills.


    Furthermore, these medicinal pills were all Tier 9 medicinal pills.


    If it were other people, they would be exhausted to death.


    Ye Yuan directly planted the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron over there and started refining in full swing.


    Some ordinary Tier 9 medicinal pills were too easy to the current Ye Yuan.


    As long as he did not pursue quality, he could practically finish in an hour.


    Of course, even so, the lousiest that came out were high-grade medicinal pills too.


    Those people were dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan''s pill refining efficiency and the quality of the produced pills. They had never seen before which alchemist could refine pills like this!


    After a day and night, all of the medicinal pills were finished refining!


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    "Just where did a freak like Master Ye come from? This alchemy skill is too heaven-defying!"


    "Yeah. Alchemist Association''s Chairman, Jing Fengtian, is also inferior than him, right?"


    "Hahaha, mine is a transcendent-grade medicinal pill! Profit! Big profit!"


    Those stall owners without spirit flowers could only blankly watch others return fully loaded, with a look of envy.


    Such high intensity refinement and he could actually still refined such a high quality pill. This alchemy skill was simply heaven-defying.


    Even the Qiu Yuqiu whose eyes were at the top of his head was also starring dumbfounded with his mouth gaping at this time too!


    Disregarding other things, just the hundred types of spirit flowers that this Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill required, was tremendously hard to gather.


    He himself searched for over ten years, and also merely gathered 30 to 40 types.


    But Ye Yuan only used a day''s time and gathered over 30 types of spirit flowers.


    If he was able to gather the spirit medicine himself, he also would not utter making Ye Yuan provide the spirit medicines himself, this sort of words.


    This �� really made people at a loss for words.


    "You only wanted over 30 types of spirit flowers. Could it be ��" Qiu Yuqiu went forward and asked rather hesitatingly.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "That''s right. The other spirit flowers, I have them all!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone drew a cold breath. This sort of words simply made people hard to believe it.


    Over a hundred types of spirit medicines. Disregarding that each kind was extremely rare, there at least had to be some that were not easy to find, right?


    Ye Yuan wanted over 30 types. Did that not mean that the remaining 60 plus types, he had them all?


    If it were before, they would definitely turn their noses up at Ye Yuan''s words.


    But now, it was not up to them to not believe!


    This Ye Yuan simply subverted their understanding!


    "I''ll rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, I''ll help you refine the Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan strutted off, leaving behind everyone staring in bewilderment.


    Continuously refining for a day and night, Ye Yuan''s expenditure was tremendous too.


    Refining mystic grade medicinal pills were completely different from refining Tier 9 medicinal pills. Ye Yuan naturally had to adjust his condition well.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s back view, Qiu Yuqiu''s gaze shone.


    This Ye Yuan''s performance made him have a bit more confidence out of the blue.


    Perhaps, he could really refine a transcendent-grade Hundred Flower Heavenly Fate Pill!

 1143 Nine Phoenix Islands Problem

    On the Nine Phoenix Island, a vast majority of the stall owners stopped their businesses and came to watch Ye Yuan refine pills.


    A Sixth Level Dao Profound refining mystic grade medicinal pills. This was absolutely a major news!


    "Master Ye is really incredible, simply reaching the acme of pill refining heights. But can this mystic grade medicinal pill be refined while skipping ranks?"


    "I really never heard of this before! If it were before, I''d definitely think that Master Ye was bragging. But now, I''m looking very forward to it!"


    "Tsk tsk, if Master Ye is really able to refine a mystic grade medicinal pill, doesn''t that mean that the Divine Realm gained another peak Alchemy Emperor?"


    "Isn''t that so? Qiu Yuqiu, that old thing, likes to posture day in and day out. This time, he''s finally going to get his face slapped, right?"


    ...


    Qiu Yuqiu''s relation with people was clearly not very good, resulting in many people all wanting to see the sight of him being face-slapped by Ye Yuan, utterly subduing him.


    The moment the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron activated, the skies turned dark. Nine stars formation diagram blotted out the sky and obscured the sun akin to Mount Tai bearing down.


    Immediately, cries of exclamations sounded out all around!


    "Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! This is the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art! Master Ye actually already grasped the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art at a young age! No wonder he dared to talk so big!"


    Never ate before pork, but there were still quite a few people who had seen pigs run before.


    The moment the nine stars formation diagram opened up, somebody immediately cried out in shock.


    People who were able to activate the nine stars formation diagram and use the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art could absolutely be counted on one''s fingers in the Divine Realm!


    How could this Master Ye''s Alchemy Dao strength still allow them to call into question?


    Along with the nine dim stars in the sky being lit up one by one, everyone''s hearts leaped to their throats.


    Ye Yuan''s refinement was very casual, not as taxing as everyone imagined.


    After two days, the medicinal pill was done.


    Without any surprises, transcendent-grade!


    Even in his previous life, Ye Yuan could already refine mystic grade medicinal pills with the greatest of ease.


    Now, his divine soul was gradually converted into a golden divine soul. His soul force was God knows how much stronger than his previous life. Controlling it did not expend much effort.


    "How is it? Can we exchange now?"


    Ye Yuan took out the medicinal pills and came before Qiu Yuqiu, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    Qiu Yuqiu''s entire person was still in a state of shock. Being told by Ye Yuan like this, only then did he come back to his senses.


    He carefully received the medicinal pills in Ye Yuan''s hands and put it away solemnly before passing the Purple Lingzhi to Ye Yuan.


    Although the Purple Lingzhi was good, Ye Yuan did not care at all. What he minded even more was the copper coin and information.


    Qiu Yuqiu''s brain was constantly in the midst of short-circuiting these two days. Only when he saw Ye Yuan still staring at him did he quickly awaken, taking off the copper coin at his waist and passing it to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan received the copper coin and casually passed it to Zhao Qian.


    Zhao Qian received the copper coin tremblingly and nodded her head to Ye Yuan, extremely agitated.


    Ye Yuan understood and said to Qiu Yuqiu, "This older brother, can we walk and talk?"


    Qiu Yuqiu was long utterly cowed into submission by Ye Yuan already. How could he not agree at this time? At once, he nodded his head and followed Ye Yuan along.


    ...


    Upon entering Ye Yuan''s residence, Qiu Yuqiu''s heart suddenly thumped.


    A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped his entire body!


    He knew that he had fallen into a certain kill grand array.


    Ye Yuan set up a miniature Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation around this house. Once Qiu Yuqiu entered inside, Ye Yuan immediately activated the array formation.


    For Qiu Yuqiu to dare to come in, one reason was that he was bold, stemming from his superb skills. The other was that there were several island masters holding down the fort.


    However, he did not think that Ye Yuan actually laid down a certain kill grand array here!


    His expression darkened, and the joyous mood of obtaining the medicinal pill instantly disappeared in a flash.


    "What''s the meaning of this?" Qiu Yuqiu said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan''s expression also darkened, and he said coldly, "I''m only asking you a few questions. If I''m not very satisfied �� then I''m sorry!"


    Talking to the back, Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent.


    Only then did Qiu Yuqiu discover that this seemingly only Sixth Level Dao Profound young man was not as simple as he looked on the surface.


    No, wait, he was never simple before at all!


    "Merely asking a few questions. Is there a need to pull out such a great line-up? Just directly ask and wouldn''t it do?" said Qiu Yuqiu, pretending to be calm.


    But Ye Yuan''s killing intent did not diminish in the slightest as he said coldly, "Around 20 years ago, was there a mysterious martial artist who bought Silvermoon Heavenly Tea off from your hands?"


    Actually, Qiu Yuqiu already had some guesses in his heart long ago and knew that Ye Yuan was aiming for that copper coin''s owner.


    He nodded his head at once and said, "There was indeed such a matter."


    "Then, after he exchanged for the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea from your hands, where did he go?" Ye Yuan asked somberly.


    Ever since seeing that copper coin, Ye Yuan suspected whether or not Qiu Yuqiu sneak attacked Zhao Xingcheng afterward, keeping the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea for himself again.


    Who knew that Qiu Yuqiu just said coolly, "That person was secretive and mysterious. He wasn''t willing to reveal his identity either. After we finished transacting, he left the Nine Phoenix Island. How would I know where he went to?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "You''re sure that he left?"


    Qiu Yuqiu said with an unhappy look, "That person was secretive and mysterious, but his opening move was bold and forthright. The things that he exhibited at the market were much more valuable than the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea. Plus, that copper coin, I earned more for sure and not lose anything. If you don''t believe me, let''s just fight. What''s with so much crap?"


    This Qiu Yuqiu''s personality was very unsociable and eccentric. Many people on the island did not like him.


    If not for his strength being powerful, and he had the capability of searching for treasures, he would have long been squeezed away from people.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his expression eased up, and he suddenly said, "Then do you know whether the people on this island frequently go missing or not?"


    Actually, Ye Yuan''s suspicion toward Qiu Yuqiu was not very big.


    His solitary personality was disdainful to do this sort of thing.


    Rather, these few island masters, Ye Yuan harbored suspicions in his heart.


    Such a trade fair seemed very fair. It was just providing a trading venue for everyone.


    But thinking deeper, wasn''t this kind of place precisely a venue provided for themselves to screen treasures?


    That Hei Meng''s strength was so formidable. If he had any devious thoughts, it was too easy.


    Except, it seemed like although there were quite a few newcomers who joined this place, those old faces were still here.


    Everyone had long lowered their guards against these few island masters already.


    In fact, they might even be grateful toward these island masters instead.


    After all, people who obtained the treasures they wanted from here, and thereby broke through, were many!


    "Heh, I know what you mean. That''s right, people come and go on this island. Each time, there are different people coming and different people leaving. But ��"


    Talking up to here, Qiu Yuqiu deliberately paused for a bit, looking at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile, seemingly waiting for him to carry on talking.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "But each time, the change is insignificant. Hence, other people didn''t detect it at all! After all, being delayed by matters in the outside world, or being unwilling to come, are all a possibility!"


    Qiu Yuqiu smiled lightly and said, "Smart! Heh heh, those fools who think themselves infallible and even thought that those few island masters are some good people. They also didn''t think much about it; how is there a meat pie falling from the sky, such a good thing?"


    Qiu Yuqiu said these words. He had actually become aware of this island''s problem long ago.

 1144 Night Interrogation

    Swoosh!


    It was nighttime. A light noise suddenly came from outside the window.


    But Hong Tao, who was currently cultivating, furrowed his brows and dashed out.


    A black silhouette was currently speeding in the direction of the back mountain.


    "Why does that profile look like Ye Yuan that brat? Not good! That brat wants to infiltrate the back mountain!"


    Hong Tao did not even think about it and sped over towards that figure.


    In a blink of an eye, the two people traveled several dozen miles.


    That figure''s speed in front clearly could not compare to Hong Tao.


    It looked like Hong Tao was going to catch up to that black silhouette.


    A hint of a disdainful smile flashed past the corners of his mouth, and he yelled, "Halt!"


    That figure ahead stopped and could not help turning around.


    Hong Tao focused his eyes and looked. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    But right at this time, Hong Tao suddenly discovered to his surprise that Ye Yuan''s eyes were currently looking at him.


    Buzz!


    Hong Tao only felt his head go dizzy, then he did not know anything anymore.


    Two dark figures dashed out from inside the forest right beside and arrived beside Ye Yuan. It was precisely Ao Qian and Qiu Yeqiu.


    Seeing Hong Tao''s transfixed appearance, Qiu Yeqiu could not help darting Ye Yuan a fearful glance and marveled, "Young Brother Ye''s methods truly emerge in never-ending streams! This Hong Tao is, at any rate, a Void Mystic powerhouse too. He actually did not have the least bit of strength to retaliate under your divine soul attack!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Trifling tricks. Made a fool of myself."


    The corners of Qiu Yeqiu twitched a bit but did not say anything else.


    This kind of means was not what trifling tricks, these two words, could accomplish!


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan used a divine soul attack and the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil at the same time, instantly subduing Hong Tao.


    Dealing with Hong Tao was Qiu Yeqiu''s suggestion.


    He said that this Hong Tao was the most foolhardy among the three island masters. His strength was the weakest too.


    If he wanted to inquire about something, dealing with him was the easiest.


    But Qiu Yeqiu never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan subdued Hong Tao so effortlessly.


    He was currently making a comparison, whether or not he could retreat completely unscathed if he was suddenly ambushed by Ye Yuan like this.


    The answer was �� completely no confidence!


    Ye Yuan came in front of Hong Tao and opened his mouth and said, "I''ll ask you, over 20 years ago, there was a mysterious person who exchanged for the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea on the Nine Phoenix Island. Do you know where he went to or not?"


    With Ye Yuan''s present soul force, unleashing a divine soul attack when caught completely unawares, Hong Tao''s divine soul immediately suffered serious injuries.


    Then coupled with the Sun Moon Heavenly Eye''s illusionary art, controlling Hong Tao was easily accomplished.


    Of course, this was also because Hong Tao did not take Hei Meng''s words to heart at all, and underestimated Ye Yuan too much.


    If it were Duan Lingfeng, it definitely would not be like so.


    Hong Tao was already thoroughly controlled by Ye Yuan and answered woodenly, "K-Know. He exchanged for the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea, and then �� he wanted to immediately return to Tranquil Sun City, and �� he was killed by me on the way, snatching the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea.


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan''s heart twitched violently.


    A kind of emotion called sorrow instantly filled his chest.


    Although he had long known that Zhao Xingcheng should be fraught with grim possibilities, in the depths of his heart, he still hung on to a trace of hope.


    Perhaps Zhao Xingcheng was only locked up?


    Maybe ��


    However, there was no more maybe!


    When Hong Tao, this murderer, personally said it, even though Ye Yuan was mentally prepared long ago, his heart still ached inexplicably.


    "M-My deepest sympathies, milord!" Ao Qian consoled.


    Ever since he followed Ye Yuan, it was still his first time seeing Ye Yuan so mournful.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was trembling all over. Clearly, he was enraged to the extreme.


    The chestful of sorrow already turned a chestful of hatred at this time.


    He wished to ground this Hong Tao to dust!


    Only after a while did Ye Yuan calm down a little. He asked with a grim look, "What did you guys snatch the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea for?"


    The Hong Tao, who fell for the illusionary art, was completely oblivious towards Ye Yuan''s fury. He still answered Ye Yuan''s question woodenly.


    "B-Big Brother unexpectedly obtained an ancient pill formula, r-requiring many one-million-year-old spirit medicines. T-Therefore, Big Brother �� thought of this plan, to set up a trade fair on the Nine Phoenix Island, drawing �� everybody over to trade. This way �� we''ll be able to accrue those �� spirit medicines."


    The current Ye Yuan was already beside himself with anger.


    These few fellows were simply unscrupulous and perverse, to actually use this sort of method to collect spirit medicines.


    They did not delay their cultivation. Either way, there were others going to find spirit medicines on their behalf.


    When they finished exchanging and went out, these few guys would rely on their strength being powerful and secretly kill these dealers.


    "I''ll ask you again, just how many people have you guys killed in this 1000 years?" Ye Yuan practically squeezed these few words from the gaps of his teeth.


    "D-Didn''t count before. G-Got a thousand people, I guess."


    Hong Tao was oblivious and spilled everything out.


    Ao Qian and Qiu Yeqiu exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in the other party''s eyes.


    Unknowingly, over this thousand years, a thousand people had actually already died imperceptibly!


    Qiu Yeqiu had also participated in this trade fair for a hundred years already.


    Even he also did not detect that so many people would actually have died at this trade fair.


    Looks like these few island masters had hauled God knows how much benefits in secret!


    To think that the itinerant cultivators on this island all still felt boundless gratitude towards them!


    "Then �� the trade fair this time, do you guys have a target? Ye Yuan asked again.


    "H-Have. Purple Lingzhi!"


    Hong Tao''s words made Qiu Yeqiu''s expression change.


    If he did not exchange this Purple Lingzhi out at the transaction this time, then wouldn''t their target be him?


    Thinking up to here, Qiu Yeqiu involuntarily broke into a cold sweat.


    Under Ye Yuan''s random stumbling about, it actually saved his life?


    At this time, Qiu Yeqiu''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became somewhat different.


    He had always come and went freely his entire life and had never felt gratitude towards anyone before.


    But this time, it was not up to him to not be grateful.


    If not for Ye Yuan, his several thousand years of cultivation would probably be ruined in one day.


    "Alright, I''ll ask you one last question! Your big brother, Heavenspan Island Master, who on earth is he?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Hong Tao opened his mouth and was just about to speak when a terrifying aura surged to the skies!


    "Who is it?! To actually dare be rampant on my Nine Phoenix Island!"


    This voice was precisely Hei Meng!


    It seemed like that monstrous fury of Ye Yuan''s previously had alerted Hei Meng.


    However, it already did not matter.


    This battle was unavoidable!


    Swish!


    A neat and tidy slash. Hong Tao''s head separated from his body. It was also considered to have taken revenge for Zhao Xingchen, this old friend of his.


    However, even though he killed Hong Tao, the fury in Ye Yuan''s heart did not diminish the least bit.


    This Hong Tao was merely a machine to kill.


    The true culprit was still the Heavenspan Island Master!


    He was going to take a look today, at just what kind of person this Heavenspan Island Master was.


    "Fourth Brother!"


    A fearsome roar transmitted over. Hei Meng just happened to see the scene of Hong Tao''s head separating from his body.


    "Ye Yuan, our Nine Phoenix Island have no grudge nor enmity with you! You actually dared to kill my fourth brother! You''re seeking death here!" Hei Meng howled.


    Ye Yuan looked at Hei Meng with a smile that was not a smile and said, "No grudge �� and no enmity, is it?"

 1145 Heavenspan Island Master

    "Ahh! Ye Yuan, I''m going to kill you!"


    Hei Meng opened his divine king domain fully. A streak of terrifying water sword stabbed straight for Ye Yuan!


    It was that, how could Ao Qian give him the opportunity? Dragon Prancing the Four Seas caught this streak of water sword, clashing together with Hei Meng.


    At this time, Duan Lingfeng rushed over too!


    "Brat, you dared to kill my fourth brother, I''ll exterminate you!" Duan Lingfeng said with a furious roar.


    But Ye Yuan was disinclined to even glance at him, saying to Qiu Yeqiu, "This guy will be left to you. There shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    Qiu Yeqiu froze and said with a nod, "No problem! This place, apart from the Heavenspan Island Master and Hei Meng, there isn''t a person who can make me dread yet!"


    Ye Yuan said with a nod, "That''s good then!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan immediately lifted his feet and headed over toward the back mountain.


    Duan Lingfeng was stopped by Qiu Yeqiu. But seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth revealed a look of ridicule, and he said, "Punk, you really take our Nine Phoenix Island to be easy to knead?"


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Five silhouettes suddenly appeared, directly enclosing Ye Yuan in tightly.


    These five people were actually all Void Mystic Realm powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan had seen before these five people. They were all people at the trade fair.


    Very clearly, these were the chess pieces they concealed among those people.


    Seeing this scene, Qiu Yeqiu''s expression changed drastically. But Ao Qian did not even turn his head around.


    Seeing that composed appearance of Ao Qian''s, Hei Meng''s heart involuntarily thumped, thinking to himself that it was not good.


    "Kill!"


    Five great Void Mystic powerhouses instantly opened up their divine king domains and charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    However, five rays of terrifying sword light flashed and faded.


    The five people''s voices abruptly cut off!


    Duan Lingfeng, who was in the heat of fierce battle, almost got hit by Qiu Yeqiu''s move. He was struck dumb with amazement by this scene.


    Instant kill!


    A Sixth Level Dao Profound actually instant-killed five Void Mystic powerhouses!


    Although these five people''s strength was only at the beginnings of Void Mystic, Void Mystic was Void Mystic. They were not what Dao Profound Realm martial artists were capable of dealing with!


    Actually, the shock in Qiu Yeqiu''s heart was not much lesser compared to Duan Lingfeng in the slightest.


    If not for being overly shocked, that blow earlier would have already succeeded.


    He truly did not think that Ye Yuan''s Martial Dao strength was actually so formidable!


    Also, that sword just now!


    Divine artifact!


    It was absolutely a divine artifact!


    Apart from Ao Qian, monstrous waves that dashed to the skies were stirred up in everyone''s hearts.


    These people had more or less heard about the Divine Realm''s matters when walking about outside.


    The news of Ji Qingyun seizing possession and reviving, possessing a divine artifact, and charging back to the Divine Realm, they had heard to some extent.


    Then the identity of this young man before their eyes was almost certain!


    Qiu Yuqiu was incredibly shocked. Only now did he know why Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills were so heaven-defying.


    Ye Yuan killed five people, his figure speeding rapidly, heading towards the back mountain.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan passed through many powerful restrictions. But these restrictions were as easy as blowing off dust to him.


    Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at a cave.


    A figure walked out from inside the cave with slow steps. But a hideous mask was worn on his face.


    This person was definitely that legendary Heavenspan Island Master!


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. This person gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    Very clearly, he was even more powerful than Hei Meng!


    Ye Yuan was bold stemming from superb skills, relying on the fact that he had the art of greater teleportation. He directly barged inside.


    When the person who just arrived saw Ye Yuan, he actually unwittingly heaved a sigh and said, "Why is there a need? You take the open road, and I''ll walk my single log bridge. You and I stay in our own lanes and mind our own business, but you insist on provoking me!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed even tighter, and he opened his mouth to say, "You know me?"


    Hearing the meaning in the other party''s words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with him, involuntarily giving Ye Yuan a shock.


    "Huhu, so what if know, so what if don''t know? Leave behind the Purple Lingzhi and immediately leave the Nine Phoenix Island. I can give you a way out," the mysterious person said.


    But Ye Yuan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Heh, then do you feel that I''ll do as you say or not?"


    "Don''t do it, and you''ll die!" the Heavenspan Island Master said indifferently, his words revealing thick confidence.


    Of course, he had this strength to be confident too.


    But Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, and he said, "You planned this trade fair, making so many martial artists ended up as tools to collect treasures for you. Originally, this has nothing to do with me. But you never should have killed Zhao Xingchen!"


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that the Heavenspan Island Master fell silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "According to what I know, your relationship with Zhao Xingchen doesn''t seem to have reached this extent, right?"


    The other party''s words made Ye Yuan even more certain that this person was definitely someone that he knew.


    Furthermore, even though this person hid in closed-seclusion in this back mountain, he knew about the outside world''s matters like the palm of his hand.


    The other party clearly knew his identity as Ji Qingyun!


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "That''s my business! Since you instigated Hong Tao to kill Zhao Xingchen, pay it with your life then! Otherwise, how can I answer to his spirit in heaven?"


    The Heavenspan Island Master let out a sigh and said, "This Nine Phoenix Island''s trade fair, the reason why I only roped in some itinerant cultivators was in order to not startle the various major factions. That Zhao Xingchen deliberately concealed his identity. I only knew his identity when I killed him and obtained the things inside his storage ring too. If I had known earlier, I wouldn''t have made a move either."


    Hearing the meaning in his words, it actually had some attitude of remorse.


    "Enough nonsense, and show your true abilities! Your crimes are inexpiable. It''s also time to pay your debts!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort. The Evil Extermination Sword came out of its sheath!


    But when the Heavenspan Island Master saw it, he praised, "Heh, the ancient Evil Extermination Sword, indeed, it lives up to its reputation! Looks like you''ve already obtained the divine sword''s recognition."


    The Heavenspan Island Master''s words made Ye Yuan''s expression change.


    This person seemed to know many secrets that other people were unaware of!


    This made Ye Yuan dread towards him rise another level.


    This Heavenspan Island Master was not easy to deal with!


    Right then, the Heavenspan Island Master slowly took out a long sword.


    This sword was thin and elegant, forming an extremely distinct contrast with the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s boldness and unrestrainedness.


    When Ye Yuan saw the sword in the Heavenspan Island Master''s hand, his pupils involuntarily constricted.


    Divine artifact!


    The sword in the Heavenspan Island Master''s hand was similarly a divine sword!


    Clank!


    The long sword in the Heavenspan Island Master''s hand actually emitted a light ringing sound!


    It seemed like it was actually brimming with fighting intent.


    "En?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. He and the Evil Extermination Divine Sword were connected in heart and soul. He actually discovered that the Evil Extermination Sword also had a baffling kind of restlessness.


    "Huhu, in this world, people who possess divine artifacts are not just you alone! Feel it? My Ziya wants to battle once more with the Evil Extermination Sword!" said the Heavenspan Island Master.


    Ye Yuan had a puzzled look, not quite understanding the situation.


    When the Heavenspan Island Master saw the situation, he smiled and said, "A million years ago, before Daoist Absolute Heaven rose up, he once had an opponent called Su Wo. Su Wo was a sword fanatic. His lifelong goal was to defeat Absolute Heaven. But sadly, the disparity between him and Absolute Heaven pulled greater and greater apart instead. In the end, he died because hatred consumed him. In this life, I obtained Su Wo''s inheritance. This Ziya encountering the Evil Extermination Sword once again, do you think it can stay indifferent and not be agitated?"

 1146 Casting a Bright Pearl into Darkness

    Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked!


    The rise of a powerhouse of his generation was bound to step on the corpses of countless geniuses.


    Very clearly, this Su Wo was a stepping stone on the road on Absolute Heaven ascension to the summit.


    It was just that, although Su Wo died, his divine sword did not die.


    A million years later, divine sword Ziya and divine sword Evil Extermination met once more. This was the encounter of fate.


    Sensing the battle intent coming from Evil Extermination, Ye Yuan had an understanding in his heart.


    "Huhu, since I obtained your recognition, how can I lose face for Senior Absolute Heaven? If Su Wo wants to battle, then we''ll grant his wish. Let him know that even after a million years, he''s still trash!" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    The Heavenspan Island Master smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Stop dreaming! Absolute Heaven being able to firmly suppress Su Wo was because his cultivation realm was evenly-matched with Su Wo. But you''re merely Sixth Level Dao Profound right now!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So what if Sixth Level Dao Profound? Dealing with you, it''s sufficient!"


    The Heavenspan Island Master raised his head to the sky and laughed hard as he said, "Fine. Then I''ll take a look at whether you truly have this capability or not!"


    Clank!


    The Heavenspan Island Master released an offhanded streak of sword light. This sword was incomparably dazzling. It was indeed the might of a divine artifact!


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned somber. Evil Extermination suddenly made a move.


    Boom!


    Two rays of sword energy that displayed their edge to the fullest extent collided together, directly sending Ye Yuan flying out.


    The Heavenspan Island Master was peak divine king essence energy realm and also wielded the divine sword Ziya. Overpowering Ye Yuan was all too normal.


    However, the Heavenspan Island Master emitted a soft sound of surprise and said, "Your fleshly body already reached late-stage Tier 9. Truly remarkable! Your divine soul is likely almost reaching the great circle of perfection realm already, right? Tsk tsk, when your essence energy realm rises up, Essence, Energy, and Spirit unifying into one, you''ll have a chance to assault that transcendent Deity Realm! Oh, almost forgot. Your heart realm already reached Heaven Man Unity too. Truly an unrivaled genius! No wonder the Evil Extermination Divine Sword would choose you!"


    That sword move earlier, if it were an ordinary Sixth Level Dao Profound, even if he had Ye Yuan''s strength, he would sustain serious injuries under the tremendous impact too.


    But Ye Yuan relied on his powerful fleshly body and tyrannical Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art as well as the extremely strong defense Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art. Ye Yuan actually only felt his blood and qi in turmoil for a moment.


    This scene, it was not up to the Heavenspan Island Master to not be amazed.


    However, Ye Yuan was likewise incomparably surprised in his heart.


    This Heavenspan Island Master seemed to know him fairly well. He actually even know about his Heaven Man Unity heart realm.


    This made Ye Yuan even more curious about the Heavenspan Island Master''s identity.


    "Who on earth are you?" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "Huhu, when you defeat me, this trash, you''ll naturally know. But you definitely won''t have the chance. Watch closely. This is Ziya''s ultimate move, Sword Shadow Accompanying!"


    His voice had yet to fade when the Heavenspan Island Master''s figure suddenly disappeared from sight.


    The next instant, a sword already arrived at Ye Yuan''s throat area.


    This sword was inconceivable swift. One would completely unable to use eyes to watch it.


    The name Sword Shadow Accompanying lived up to its name!


    However, with a clank, Evil Extermination stabbed diagonally upwards, colliding right against Ziya without any deviation!


    An overwhelming force transmitted over. The Heavenspan Island Master only felt the webbing between the thumb and index finger tremble. The divine sword nearly slipped off his hand!


    Having consumed the Refined Steel Bone Tempering Pill, Ye Yuan''s fleshly body already successfully broke through to late-stage Tier 9.


    His immense strength, coupled with the Evil Extermination Sword Formula''s power of Divine Dao laws, even ordinary Void Mystic powerhouses would be unable to withstand it!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Different from Ye Yuan, the Heavenspan Island Master did not produce a resonance with the Ziya divine sword.


    This step, not anybody could achieve it.


    However, the Heavenspan Island Master obtained Su Wo''s divine art. Practicing his divine inscriptions, he already had a preliminary understanding to some extent.


    This was also the reason why he could overpoweringly suppress Hei Meng and become the head island master.


    In terms of strength, the Heavenspan Island Master was already very close to the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    It was just a pity that who he ran into was Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s heart realm already reached the great circle of perfection realm. Even if his sword was any faster, it was also not undetectable.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan possessed the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s ocular powers. Capturing the figure of the Heavenspan Island Master was truly accomplished with ease.


    Even if the Heavenspan Island Master was any faster, he was only a Void Mystic powerhouse too. He still did not reach the level of Deity Realm.


    Ye Yuan coped with unexpected events by sticking to a fundamental principle. No matter how fast his sword was, he did not withdraw either!


    "Impossible! How can he possibly capture my sword? This is the quicksword released with the power of Divine Dao laws!" It was the first time the Heavenspan Island Master was alarmed.


    Swoosh!


    The Heavenspan Island Master unleashed his sword once again!


    Sword shadows that filled the skies were akin to shadows following, rushing over towards Ye Yuan.


    This was not cast by some divine ability but by the Heavenspan Island Master''s true body.


    It was just that his figure was unimaginably swift, that was why it left behind countless afterimages in the entire sky.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Waves of clear and crisp metal clashing sounds transmitted over. Sparks flew everywhere.


    The more he fought, the more alarmed Heavenspan Island Master got!


    From start to end, Ye Yuan stood there and did not move. He just unleashed his sword again and again non-stop.


    But he was just unable to sneak attack Ye Yuan, not even once!


    His every movement and action were completely within Ye Yuan''s grasp.


    When a quicksword was not ''quick,'' it was equivalent to having both hands tied up by people. How to continue fight?


    Clank!


    Borrowing the recoil force, the Heavenspan Island Master retreated, looking at Ye Yuan with a solemn look.


    "The sword is a fine sword. It''s too bad that you can''t unleash its strength! Sigh �� casting a bright pearl into darkness!"


    With Ye Yuan''s sigh, the Heavenspan Island Master''s face turned green.


    His sword emitted a light humming noise once more, clearly very unresigned to it.


    The encounter a million years later, it actually still had to lose to Evil Extermination once again. How could it feel reconciled with it?


    "Alright. You already attacked. My turn now!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the Heavenspan Island Master''s expression turn somber.


    He had yet to react when Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished!


    The Heavenspan Island Master''s pupils constricted, and he cried out in alarm, "Greater teleportation!"


    However, there was not much time for him to be astonished. A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    However, the Heavenspan Island Master had comprehended some Divine Dao laws. He still caught Ye Yuan''s traces in the end.


    "Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared from within the void, stabbing straight for the Heavenspan Island Master''s left ribs!


    The ribs were extremely hard to defend area. This move of Ye Yuan''s was to strike him and leave him unable to save himself.


    This move, Ye Yuan poured in divine essence, his killing intent not held back in the slightest.


    He did not have the intention of being softhearted and irresolute. No matter who the other party was, he had to die!


    But the Heavenspan Island Master''s strength was even stronger than Cloudsky''s. Clearly, he was not so easy to be killed.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s Evil Extermination Sword was actually blocked!


    The Heavenspan Island Master was pushed back a thousand feet away, spraying out a mouthful of blood. He already suffered a huge loss!


    This sword failing did not exceed Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    The Heavenspan Island Master, this level of existence, was not that easy to kill.


    Crack!


    Right at this time, the Heavenspan Island Master''s hideous mask actually split at the center, revealing a face that Ye Yuan was very familiar with.


    Seeing this face, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. He said, "So, it''s you!"

 1147 Terrifying Divine King Domain

    Under the mask was a sage-like appearance.


    He looked like he was just an old man with a benevolent countenance.


    Even Ye Yuan was also cheated by this old man.


    This person was actually �� Han Qing Zi who presided over Ye Yuan''s alchemy battle in Cloudmarsh City!


    Honestly speaking, when he saw this face, Ye Yuan was shocked too.


    In the Divine Realm, Han Qing Zi could be said to be a rare clear stream and would never take part in any conflicts. His reputation was very good.


    Ye Yuan never would have dreamed that this guy was actually such a slaughterer who posed as a person of high morals.


    Ye Yuan suddenly recalled that when the Immemorial Medicine Garden opened back then, he never saw Han Qing Zi''s traces all along.


    Since he went to Cloudmarsh City, it was impossible to not enter the Immemorial Medicine Garden to take a look.


    Ye Yuan did not pay any attention at that time. Looking at it now, this guy had definitely hidden in an obscure corner all along, waiting for the right moment.


    And it was precisely because of his cautiousness that he avoided the calamity that time. Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    The depth of this person''s cunningness was seriously too terrifying!


    He also did not expect that Han Qing Zi''s Martial Dao strength was actually so formidable!


    "Looks like I was overly persistent! Dealing with you, why is there a need for the divine sword?!"


    Han Qing Zi did not care about Ye Yuan''s astonishment and had an appearance of sudden enlightenment.


    Very clearly, the time of Han Qing Zi obtaining Su Wo''s inheritances was not very long.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that it was also just the likes of over a thousand years.


    It was also precisely from that time that he set up such a trade fair, developing it in secret, only awaiting to soar to the skies in one bound.


    Over a thousand years, Han Qing Zi did not walk very far out along the true Great Dao of the Sword.


    He was at best equally matched in strength with Ye Yuan right now.


    However, the divine sword Ziya was ultimately not Evil Extermination''s opponent. This was already a fact that was verified before a million years ago.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said contemptuously, "You don''t even trust your own sword, how can you win me?"


    "Killing you, just divine king domain is sufficient!"


    Han Qing Zi gave a cold laugh. His divine king domain suddenly activated. A violent sword intent instantly filled the entire stretch of space.


    His divine king domain was even broader than Hei Meng''s. It actually reached 20 thousand feet!


    What Han Qing Zi said was right. Him using divine art to battle Ye Yuan was met with counter attacks each time.


    Although the power of the divine king domain was inferior to the divine sword, with the divine sword''s augmentation, not only was the power of his divine king domain stronger, the area covered was even wider!


    But this sword domain was very heterogeneous.


    The divine sword Ziya still emitted light quivering sounds. Clearly, it was quite opposed to this.


    Divine swords had spirits. It was expressing its displeasure toward Han Qing Zi''s way of doing things.


    Within 20 thousand feet radius, Ye Yuan could not even execute greater teleportation and was directly shrouded by the divine king domain.


    For a moment, he seemingly sunk into a sea of swords.


    Ye Yuan''s divine king domain was directly shattered by himself. Currently, it was unable to condense at all.


    At this time, he could only rely on the Evil Extermination Sword in his hand to forcefully resist these sword intents.


    Reaching the realm of the Ten Great Divine Kings, they were already disdainful to use divine king domains anymore.


    Like the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, when he was dealing with Ye Yuan, he directly overpowered with Divine Dao laws.


    In front of Divine Dao laws, any divine king domain was trash.


    However, Han Qing Zi''s current strength was at the stage between Void Mystic powerhouses, closing in on the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    His Divine Dao comprehensions were also just that tiny bit stronger than Ye Yuan''s. He was completely unable to crush Ye Yuan.


    But the sword intent in his divine king domain carried Divine Dao laws. It was much stronger compared to ordinary divine king domains.


    Even if Ye Yuan brandished the Evil Extermination Sword until not even a drop of water could trickle through, it was hard to ward off the all-pervasive sword intent too.


    This was the terrifying aspect of a divine king domain.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The ever-present sword intent stabbed at every opportunity, slicing onto Ye Yuan''s body every now and then.


    Before long, Ye Yuan''s body had a series of additional injuries.


    The injuries became deeper and deeper, while the blood flowed more and more, looking gruesomely horrific.


    "Hahaha, truly what a shame! A genius like you is indeed Absolute Heaven''s one and only successor. It''s just a pity that geniuses are all short-lived ghosts! Absolute Heaven was like this, you �� are similarly like so!"


    Han Qing Zi''s essence energy was thick, pushing the divine king domain to the limits, not giving Ye Yuan the slightest opportunity to catch his breath at all.


    At this time, the Nine Phoenix Island was long already in a chaotic mess.


    Han Qing Zi was an alchemy path master. He had operated on this island for over one thousand years and naturally would not have just this bit of manpower.


    Apart from Hei Meng and Duan Lingfeng, a Void Mystic powerhouse clashed together with Jiang Taicang.


    As for Kuang Tianming, Ye Yuan left Elder Tan and Zhao Qian to him for safety.


    When those stall owners saw this battle array, how could they still dare to stay? Each and every one ran away from the island.


    What made Qiu Yuqiu rather surprised was that at this time, Shark One actually joined the group battle, dealing with Duan Lingfeng together with him.


    With him joining in, Duan Lingfeng''s pressure skyrocketed.


    Meanwhile, Hei Meng and Ao Qian were locked in a fierce struggle. Within a short time, there was no way of determining the victor.


    The commotion of a 20 thousand feet divine king domain was extremely great.


    When the Ao Qian and Qiu Yuqiu, who were currently in the heat of fierce fighting at the front mountain, detected this power, their expressions changed drastically.


    Ao Qian examined himself and thought that under such a powerful divine king domain, he would lose for sure beyond all doubt!


    Furthermore, he knew that His Excellency''s art of greater teleportation only had a distance of 10 thousand feet.


    "Hahaha, you''re going to lose if your mind is wandering! But don''t you worry, when Elder Brother takes care of that punk, he''ll come and send you guys down below to accompany him."


    When Hei Meng saw this divine king domain, he was wildly exhilarated.


    Han Qing Zi''s strength, he was all too clear.


    Although that brat''s strength was not bad, encountering his elder brother, that was absolutely certain death without chances of survival.


    Ao Qian''s expression darkened, and he involuntarily increased essence energy some more, wanting to end the battle fast.


    But Hei Meng clearly detected his intentions and was not in a hurry at this time anymore. Instead, he fought a seesaw battle with him.


    Ao Qian''s strength was a slight notch above Hei Meng''s. But wanting to take Hei Meng down was not something that could be done in a short time.


    This way, his heart burned with even greater anxiety.


    "Big Brother Kuang, do you think �� Young Master Ye will be fine or not?"


    Over here, when Zhao Qian saw that divine king domain, her face was nervous until it became deathly pale.


    Kuang Tianming''s complexion was not good either. But he still consoled, "Relax, Ye Yuan won''t be defeated so easily."


    These words even sounded rather uncertain to himself.


    The expression of Elder Tan by the side changed again and again but did not say anything.


    Clearly, he was not optimistic about Ye Yuan too.


    Over 20 thousand radius divine king domain, this was too terrifying.


    According to what he knew, the Eight Great Super Holy Lands'' holy lords'' strengths were also merely 10 thousand over feet.


    ...


    Ye Yuan wielded the sword and guarded his vital areas. But the ever-encroaching sword intent still made the injuries on his body become more and more severe.


    Although his Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art progressed at a remarkable pace, facing sword intent that contained Divine Dao laws, it was still not quite adequate to look at.


    Unless, he could cultivate the Human Path chapter to the great circle of perfection realm, then he could disregard these sword intents.


    But sadly, he could not do it.


    "Haha, Ji Qingyun, I gave you the chance, but you insist on wanting to deliver yourself to death! Now, I''ll see what you have to take revenge! En?"


    Han Qing Zi was currently being pleased with himself when all of a sudden, his expression changed drastically.

 1148 Domain of Sword

    In order to conserve essence energy, Ye Yuan''s defensive circle was very small to begin with.


    Under the divine king domain, the originally very small defensive circle was still full of flaws.


    But Han Qing Zi discovered to his surprise that Ye Yuan''s weak points were becoming lesser and lesser.


    Under the 20 thousand feet sword domain, Ye Yuan was as though a small rowboat in the ocean, swaying in the midst of a raging storm, possible to capsize at any time.


    However, Ye Yuan''s defensive circle actually became more and more rounded out!


    At first, Han Qing Zi did not take notice.


    But, along with the passing of time, interference of him breaking through Ye Yuan''s defenses became greater and greater. He finally noticed something amiss.


    "Domain of Sword! This �� This is impossible! You haven''t broken through to Deity Realm, how can you possibly grasp the Domain of Sword!" Han Qing Zi said in aghast.


    Han Qing Zi saw everything as clearly as a blazing fire inside the divine king domain.


    The 20 thousand foot divine king domain actually had a small area that was slowly breaking away from his control.


    One had to know that inside the divine king domain, he was a god!


    But now, he was currently sensing that this small chunk of area was currently being slowly hollowed out!


    A pure to the extreme Domain of Sword was currently slowly forming!


    Just as Skydistant said, this divine king domain was only an abnormal product under the present Heavenly Dao.


    Fusing concepts and comprehending divine king domain were a road that must be taken for present peak divine kings.


    In terms of power, it was naturally much stronger compared to ordinary divine king powerhouses.


    But the true power of domain was not this kind of fused deformed product.


    Han Qing Zi obtained Su Wo''s inheritance and knew that only genuine Deity Realm powerhouses could grasp the power of domains!


    In the ancient era, Deity Realm powerhouses would not divert their attention to other things and comprehend many kinds of supreme true intents.


    All of them comprehended one type of concept to the great circle of perfection, then comprehended Divine Dao laws, breaking through to Deity Realm.


    Finally, forming a Divine Dao domain belonging to themselves!


    Han Qing Zi had infiltrated the Immemorial Medicine Garden before and knew that Ye Yuan had long comprehended a divine king domain already. Find authorized novels in Webnovel��faster updates, better experience��Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    But he was very curious why Ye Yuan did not put it to good use all along.


    He did not know that Ye Yuan had long stopped using his divine king domain and focused whole-heartedly on Sword Dao.


    However, Han Qing Zi never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan actually comprehended a true Domain of Sword in battle!


    A pure Domain of Sword!


    Similarly a domain, but a genuine Domain of Sword was way stronger compared to a divine king domain!


    This �� was the true Great Dao source power!


    It was the domain power condensed from Divine Dao laws!


    Inside this area of domain, Ye Yuan was the absolute divinity!


    "No way! Take the chance that he hasn''t completed it yet, I got to kill him!"


    Han Qing Zi''s expression turned cold, killing intent revealing in its entirety.


    "Ji Qingyun, you forced me! Xun Wind One Character Sword, kill!"


    Han Qing Zi raised the divine sword Ziya, his entire person giving off an imposing momentum that penetrated everything.


    This sword was Han Qing Zi''s stronger martial technique!


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually able to force him to use this move!


    Following the word ''kill'' leaving his mouth, Han Qing Zi''s figure abruptly vanished. All of the sword intent condensed into one line, tearing through the sky!


    This required exceedingly high control towards sword intent. It could be said that Han Qing Zi''s sword intent already reached the acme of perfection among Void Mystic powerhouses.


    The might of this sword, even Ao Qian''s Dragon Prancing the Four Seas might not be able to block it too!


    A terrifying power spread out, making the hearts of the people who were currently concerned about Ye Yuan palpitate.


    This attack was too powerful!


    Even when separated from so far away, they sensed the threatening sword energy too.


    Clank!


    A clear clashing sound!


    Han Qing Zi''s eyes turned intent, his gaze revealing a dumbstruck look!


    Ye Yuan actually blocked his sword of his, using the sword''s tip!


    Two great divine artifacts colliding, sword energy overflowed.


    The berserk sword intent suffused everywhere, slicing the rocks, trees, into pieces.


    Everyone was extremely shocked. They did not understand what on earth happened at the back mountain, to actually cause such a great commotion.


    Sensing that sword intent, which overflowed out, Hei Meng''s expression changed greatly.


    This was two sword intents, one was his big brother''s.


    The other, no need to think, it was definitely Ye Yuan''s!


    He was truly unable to understand how a measly little Sixth Level Dao Profound could actually accomplish to this sort of extent!


    Could it be that a Sixth Level Divine King was actually able to rival the big brother who was comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings?


    This �� was also a bit too preposterous, right?


    Boom!


    A bolt of lightning landed, slamming right on top of the island.


    When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically once more!


    "Young Master Ye broke through! He �� He''s fine!" Zhao Qian said in pleasant surprise.


    Elder Tan watched that roiling tribulation cloud, incomparably shocked in his heart.


    Just what kind of freak was this Ji Qingyun? To actually be able to fight with that Heavenspan Island Master to this extent.


    Even if he broke through right now, he was also merely just Seventh Level Dao Profound!


    Ji Qingyun, who returned anew completely, could not be judged with common sense.


    "Do you hear Ziya''s unwillingness? It can lose, but it''s unwilling to be defeated like this! Although you obtained Su Wo''s inheritance, you didn''t comprehend the quintessence of his sword intent. You took a heretical path instead. A person like you isn''t fit to use a sword!"


    That instance when Evil Extermination and Ziya clashed together, Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword was finally completed.


    After shattering his divine king domain, he finally condensed the power of domain anew once more!


    And this time, it was a genuine power of domain.


    Perhaps, in the present Divine Realm, it was one of a kind existence.


    Even though it was only 20 square feet, within this 20 feet radius, Ye Yuan was the absolute hegemon!


    Even a Void Mystic powerhouse''s divine king domain would not cut it too!


    And right now, Han Qing Zi was precisely within the radius of this 20 feet.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    A terrifying sword intent instantly broke his divine king domain, completely destroying the divine king domain within the 20 feet radius.


    "Puhwark!"


    Sword intent that carried Divine Dao laws virtually breached Han Qing Zi''s protective essence energy instantly, severely wounding him!


    Boom!


    A bolt of heavenly tribulation landed. But when it reached the 20 feet radius of Ye Yuan, it was like it bumped into an invisible barrier, directly dissipating into nothing.


    The might of heavenly tribulation actually could not breach his Domain of Sword!


    Han Qing Zi collapsed weakly onto the ground, his body already riddled with a thousand gaping wounds.


    Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword was just like a meat grinder, utterly pulverizing him.


    "I-Impossible!"


    All the way until now, Han Qing Zi still did not dare to believe everything before his eyes.


    How could a Sixth Level Dao Profound martial artist possibly beat him?


    Furthermore, it was even under the circumstances of him possessing a divine artifact!


    Looking at the Han Qing Zi on the verge of death, Ye Yuan did not have much sympathy.


    Martial Dao world, slaughter originally had no cause for much criticism.


    But Han Qing Zi''s approach was overly beneath contempt.


    Most importantly, he was the chief instigator who killed Zhao Xingchen.


    Just based on this, Ye Yuan had to kill him!


    Ye Yuan came before Han Qing Zi slowly and said indifferently, "You and I are also considered to have some friendship. If not because you killed Zhao Xingchen, I could have let you off. Now, do you have any last words?"


    "H-Haha �� cough, cough, cough ��"


    Han Qing Zi suddenly started laughing. But due to his injuries being too severe, it brought up violent coughing.


    "Ji Qingyun, you''re indeed a genius! However �� you obtained Absolute Heaven''s legacy. The fiend race won''t let you off! C-Cough, cough!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and let out a sigh as he said, "Are these your last words ��"

 1149 Forbidden Zone

    Boom!


    Boom!


    ...


    Multiple bolts of heavenly tribulation landed. Ye Yuan''s figure slowly appeared in everyone''s line of sight.


    Everyone stared at him dumbfoundedly, unable to use words to describe their emotions at all.


    "My God, what did I see? Is there �� transcending tribulation like that?"


    "Freak! Master Ye is simply a freak!"


    "Heavenly tribulation actually automatically dissipated when it reached 20 feet above his head! He �� What on earth did he do?"


    "Master Ye came out. Then �� is it possible that he killed the Heavenspan Island Master?"


    ...


    There were still some bold stall owners quietly observing the development of the situation the whole time.


    When they saw the scene of heavenly tribulation crashing down on top of Ye Yuan''s head, yet he was slowly walking out, this scene was deeply imprinted in their minds, never to forget for all their lives.


    Zhao Qian saw Ye Yuan appear and was extremely agitated as she said to Kuang Tianming, "Young Master Ye is alright! Fantastic, it''s really wonderful!"


    Just earlier, sensing that powerful divine king domain, Zhao Qian''s heart was almost about to jump out.


    Only all the way until she saw Ye Yuan at this time did she finally set her mind at ease.


    When Kuang Tianming saw Ye Yuan, he also let out a sigh of relief. However, then he was even more shocked.


    He sensed that Ye Yuan seemed to be somewhat different!


    Prior to this, Ye Yuan''s entire person was just like an unsheathed sharp sword, revealing his keen edge.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s every movement and action seemed to encompass the lingering charm the Great Dao.


    The lingering charm of the Great Dao of Sword!


    That was the Great Dao that he, Kuang Tianming, pursued his entire life!


    Finally, the last bolt of heavenly tribulation landed but was still unable to make Ye Yuan''s countenance changed in the slightest.


    20 feet away from his body, it immediately scattered and disappeared!


    When Hei Meng saw this scene, his eyeballs became wide circles.


    Right now, he only had one thought remaining, that was to �� run!


    Boom!


    Hei Meng shook off Ao Qian with a palm and urged his movement technique to the limits, attempting to flee the Nine Phoenix Island.


    However, how could Ye Yuan possibly give him the chance?


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes and already lost sight of Ye Yuan, as if he had disappeared into thin air.


    The next instant, Ye Yuan already showed up, blocking Hei Meng''s retreat route.


    20 thousand feet!


    Following Ye Yuan breaking through to Seventh Level Divine Dao, plus Divine Dao laws comprehension deepening, the distance of his art of greater teleportation directly doubled!


    Seeing this scene, Hei Meng''s face revealed a look of despair.


    "Are you doing it yourself or having me do it?" Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly.


    "You �� You really killed Big Brother?"


    Up till now, Hei Meng still did not dare to believe that a Sixth Level Dao Profound was capable of killing his elder brother!


    "Looks like you didn''t come to understand it." Ye Yuan did not answer him. He just nonchalantly said a sentence and was about to make a move.


    "Hang on! C-Could it be that there''s no other path to take? I �� I surrender! I''ll be the same as him, be your servant!" Hei Meng pointed at Ao Qian and said.


    At this time, Duan Lingfeng was already restrained by Qiu Yuqiu''s and Shark One''s combined force.


    Hearing these words, he said furiously, "Hei Meng! You �� You dare to betray Big Brother!"


    But Hei Meng barked angrily, "You shut your mouth for me! Big Brother is already dead! A fine bird chooses a tree to perch on!"


    Duan Lingfeng said angrily, "You traitor! Death is just death for a real man. What''s there to be scared of?"


    "Pooh! Want to die, you go and die, don''t drag me to be a scapegoat!"


    The two people were currently bickering incessantly, but Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Alright, a subordinate like you, I feel it beneath my dignity to take in. Make a move, I''ll give you an opportunity to attack."


    Hei Meng''s expression changed, and he revealed a ferocious expression. Suddenly, his divine king domain opened up and crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ao Qian''s expression changed, and he shouted, "Milord, be careful!"


    Ye Yuan just stood there, completely without the intention of avoiding.


    The next instant, a scene that made everyone stare speechlessly with their mouths agape happened.


    Hei Meng''s divine king domain directly sieved through 20 feet in front of Ye Yuan!


    At this time, Ye Yuan took a step forward.


    Hei Meng''s divine king domain actually seemed to voluntarily open up a path.


    "This �� What kind of martial technique is this? It''s too powerful!"


    "It looks like a divine king domain. But �� it seems to be somewhat different too!"


    "Previously, when Master Ye was transcending tribulation, even heavenly tribulation was unable to breach 20 feet in front of him too. Now, it''s like this too."


    "Could it be that the area 20 feet in front of him is a forbidden zone?"


    ...


    Everyone was incomparably shocked. Because this scene before their eyes completely subverted their understanding.


    The battle between divine king domains was absolutely not this sort of situation. They could not even sense that Ye Yuan used essence energy.


    It was as if the area 20 feet in front of him was a forbidden zone. Nobody was able to breach it.


    Seeing this scene, Hei Meng''s pupils constricted.


    Ye Yuan strolled over leisurely, akin to a large mountain crushing towards him, making him unable to catch his breath at all.


    Even when facing an opponent like Ao Qian, Hei Meng also did not feel such pressure before!


    Flee!


    At this time, Hei Meng''s entire mind was only left with this one thought.


    Even if he knew that he could not escape anymore!


    Divine king domain withdrawing, Hei Meng turned around and fled.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished once more.


    The next instant, something that made everyone''s scalps tingle occurred.


    When Ye Yuan''s figure appeared once more, he was already 20 feet in front of Hei Meng.


    Everyone only heard a series of miserable cries. Hei Meng was directly ground into pieces by countless sword energy.


    Even if his sea race fleshy body was very powerful, he fell silent in the end too.


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Toward Ye Yuan''s might, they had a clear understanding.


    Even Ao Qian could not resist shrinking his neck back a bit too.


    How did milord become so powerful in a blink of an eye?


    He fought with Hei Meng for a long time and was deeply aware of Hei Meng''s might.


    But did not expect that he was finished off by His Excellency so effortlessly.


    It seemed like in front of His Excellency, divine king domains completely became ornaments!


    This �� Just what kind of cultivation method was this?


    But he also perceived that what Ye Yuan used was a martial technique similar to domains.


    It was just that, Ye Yuan''s domain was many times stronger than theirs!


    ...


    When the people knew about the few island masters'' actions, each and every one of them felt anger, but then it changed to lingering fear.


    If this trade fair kept on continuing, who knew when they would be disposed of.


    Of course, each and every one of them was overflowing with gratitude toward Ye Yuan.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would still be treated like fools by people all along, becoming tools to transport treasures.


    Zhao Qian was already informed of the news of Father being killed, completely crying her eyes out.


    She searched bitterly for Father''s traces these few years, hanging onto a trace of hope all along.


    But now, the hope was finally still extinguished.


    Toward Zhao Qian, Ye Yuan had an additional portion of regret in his heart.


    "What plans do you have currently?" Ye Yuan found Zhao Qian and asked.


    Zhao Qian shook her head and said, "I don''t know. Young Master Ye, thank you for helping my father take revenge. But, my father is dead. I''m feeling completely messed up right now."


    Zhao Qian had already washed her face with tears these few days. Now, talking about her father, her eyes became red again.

 1150 Welcoming with a Solemn Ceremony

    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh, but he still did not know how he should console Zhao Qian.


    Regarding Zhao Xingchen''s death, Ye Yuan was still rather guilty in his heart.


    He did not kill Zhao Xingchen, but Zhao Xingchen died because of him.


    Back then, he requested Zhao Xingchen to search for spirit medicines. He dd not think that Zhao Xingchen actually put forth that much effort either, resulting in braving risks himself, and losing his life.


    "Y-Young Master Ye, can you lend me your shoulder to lean on?" Zhao Qian said with tears in her eyes.


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and reached his hand out and lightly pulled Zhao Qian into his embrace and said, "If you wish to continue running the Meteor Trading Company, after this matter is over, I''ll go and exterminate the Pola Trading Company. In the future, this Divine Realm only has the Meteor Trading Company, a single firm, running a monopoly!"


    The lovely body of the Zhao Qian in his embrace shuddered when she heard that. A bout of warmth flowed into the pit of her heart.


    One sentence, it made Zhao Qian''s sky that fell down be mended again.


    This man before her eyes was the heavens!


    She did not doubt in the slightest that Ye Yuan had this strength. Even the Heavenspan Island Master, that kind of existence, died under Ye Yuan''s sword.


    Ye Yuan''s present strength felt like it already surpassed the eight great super holy lands'' holy lords!


    The nine great trading companies in the past, the strongest Pola Trading Company was also merely a quasi-super holy land.


    Even if the Pola Trading Company was being controlled by the fiend race presently, for Ye Yuan to want to exterminate it, it was as easy as flipping over his hand.


    For the Meteor Trading Company to want to replace the Pola Trading Company was also merely a matter of a word from Ye Yuan.


    She believed that even the eight great super holy lands'' holy lords did not dare to come forward to say anything either.


    "Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Zhao Qian said softly.


    "Far from thanking. Brother Zhao and I were on great terms. You provided considerable assistance to me as well. Right now, the Meteor Trading Company encountering distress, it''s proper and reasonable that I can''t sit idly by and remain indifferent," Ye Yuan said.


    He did not say the matter of Zhao Xingcheng hunting the Silvermoon Heavenly Tea on his behalf. The old friend was already gone, why was there a need to let a crack arise between him and Zhao Qian?


    Ye Yuan already made up his mind. In the future, Zhao Qian''s matters were his, Ye Yuan''s, matters.


    Who knew that Zhao Qian let out a sigh and said, "Zhao Qian indeed likes running operations a lot. It''s just that these days, the fiend race is restless and eager for action. In the midst of turbulent times, how can the Meteor Trading Company pay attention to one''s own moral uplift without thought of others? After today, I''ll arrange for all of the Meteor Trading Company''s affairs to cease all activities, hiding our edge. After Young Master Ye quells the fiend race, the Meteor Trading Company will make a comeback!"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "May as well."


    On this matter, Zhao Qian clearly thought more thoroughly than him.


    ...


    "Milord, the clan has already sent news. The patriarch agreed to your terms and approves of using one-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears to exchange for the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill."


    On this day, Shark One came to see Ye Yuan, finally bringing the news of the merman clan.


    Toward this, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    He already exhibited his alchemy skills. As long as Shark One was not an idiot, he should know that the people capable of refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill in this world, nobody else was worthy except him.


    This way, Pearl Have Tears was also considered to have landed in his pocket.


    Counting in Pearl Have Tears, Ye Yuan already collected six of the nine core medicines at present. There was only left with the final three.


    He also did not think that the progress of the Dao Defying Pill would be so smooth sailing.


    Ye Yuan slew Han Qing Zi, put away his storage ring, and indeed discovered quite a few good things.


    And that stalk of Silvermoon Heavenly Tea was currently lying inside the storage ring quietly, completely intact.


    Over a thousand years ago, Han Qing Zi obtained Su Wo''s inheritance. And in his inheritance, there was an ancient mystic grade pill formula that could have the effect of filling one with wisdom and enlightenment, helping him to comprehend the power of Divine Dao laws.


    Han Qing Zi''s comprehension of Divine Dao laws already reached the middle of a bottleneck.


    As long as he took one more stop, he would be able to truly transcend the realm of Void Mystic and reach the level of competing with the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    It was just a shame that he was still missing one last spirit medicine, the Purple Lingzhi.


    In the end, it still fell short of success at the last stage.


    The refining difficulty of this ancient pill formula was exceedingly high. But Han Qing Zi himself was a peak Alchemy Emperor. He had the strength to refine it.


    Except, this pill formula was somewhat of little value to Ye Yuan.


    With his comprehension ability, he did not require whatever filling with wisdom at all.


    For Han Qing Zi to be able to comprehend Divine Dao laws and become a peak Alchemy Emperor, his comprehension ability in itself was already extraordinarily high.


    It was just that compared to Ye Yuan, it was still far too lacking.


    With Ye Yuan comprehending the Domain of Sword, the Evil Extermination Sword Formula already officially attained a higher level of mastery, reaching the extent of the first level''s great circle of perfection.


    According to what Skydistant said, the Evil Extermination Sword Formula was divided into three levels. When Ye Yuan cultivated these three levels to the great circle of perfection realm, he would be able to activate the Vast Heaven Sword Art that Absolute Heaven left behind inside the Vast Heaven Stele!


    The Evil Extermination Sword Formula was actually the elementary part of the Vast Heaven Sword Art!


    This Vast Heaven Sword Art was completely different from other cultivation methods. Inclusive of the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, they all directly comprehended Divine Dao cultivation methods.


    But Ye Yuan did not even enter the gates of the Vast Heaven Sword Art currently.


    However, even if he did not cross the threshold, Ye Yuan''s current strength was also already sufficiently powerful.


    Perhaps he was still a bit inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings. But, facing Void Mystic powerhouses, he could easily kill them!


    As for the Ziya divine sword as well as Su Wo''s Divine Dao cultivation method, Ye Yuan was not stingy, passing them to the Extreme Sword Divine King, Kuang Tianming.


    Kuang Tianming''s lifelong goal was the extremities of Sword Dao.


    Yet, Ye Yuan, who came late, surpassed those who were in front. Ye Yuan already thoroughly surpassed him.


    But, on this point, Kuang Tianming already had a clear estimation of himself in the previous life, acknowledging that he was inferior to Ye Yuan.


    However, this did not hinder his heart of pursuing Sword Dao.


    Obtaining Su Wo''s inheritance, it was as if he obtained a priceless treasure. He entered the Vast Heaven Pagoda to go into closed-seclusion and cultivate.


    With this set of cultivation methods, it might not be an impossibility for Kuang Tianming to be ranked amongst the Ten Great Divine Kings in the future.


    Ye Yuan believed that this set of cultivation methods in Kuang Tianming''s hands would absolutely be much more valuable compared to in Han Qing Zi''s hands.


    Kuang Tianming never would have dreamed that he would one day be able to obtain a divine sword and a set of Divine Dao sword art.


    The relationship between him and Ye Yuan already did not need excessive words.


    He secretly resolved his heart to definitely assist Ye Yuan in this lifetime and exterminate the fiend race!


    If Su Wo knew that his successor became Absolute Heaven''s successor''s right-hand man a million years later, who knew what he would think.


    ...


    The group of people entered the merman clan''s territory through an impressive array.


    The Garnersky Sea Region''s underwater world had always been the human race''s restricted area.


    Any and all humans who came down, basically all would die.


    The might of the sea race was actually by no means inferior to the human race.


    It was just that fighting on land, less than 70% of their strength could be unleashed. They were naturally unwilling to go ashore.


    However, underwater, their strength was incomparably terrifying.


    In contrast, once human martial artists enter below water, their strength would be greatly discounted.


    Unless, what they cultivated just happened to be a water-attribute cultivation method.


    What Ye Yuan cultivated was not a water-attribute cultivation method. But now that he comprehended the Domain of Sword, places that he passed through, the water would automatically retreat a distance of 20 feet, making it not too different from ashore.


    Seeing this scene, Shark One was also extremely shocked in his heart.


    Ahead, a group of sea folks came to welcome them. A merman at the front wore a crown on his head. His aura was extremely powerful.


    "His Majesty heard of Your Excellency''s Alchemy Dao''s strength, and he decided to personally come forward to receive you!" Shark One explained by the side.

 1151 Bad Terms on Meeting

    Along the way, through Shark One''s introduction, Ye Yuan got to know that the merman clan''s king was called Tong. His strength was fearsome.


    Upon meeting today, it indeed lived up to the reputation.


    "Ye Yuan has seen Your Majesty." Ye Yuan cupped his fists, considered to have paid his respects.


    His way of doing things made the group of powerhouses behind His Majesty change countenance agitatedly.


    "Audacious human! To actually dare be so impertinent towards His Majesty!"


    "Insolence! Seen His Majesty and still not bowing!"


    "Your Majesty, this boy is haughty and rude. He definitely doesn''t have much capability. Perhaps, he''s here to swindle the Pearl Have Tears!"


    Tong had yet to say anything when those merman clan powerhouses behind him already erupted.


    Ye Yuan''s attitude made them very displeased.


    In their view, humans were lowly. Seeing His Majesty, they should give a solemn bow.


    No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, that was all Shark One saying it when he returned. They all had not witnessed with their own eyes.


    Now, when they saw that Ye Yuan was only Seventh Level Dao Profound, all of them could not help looking down on him, thinking that Ye Yuan was deliberately deceiving them.


    Alchemists capable of refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill also had to reach Divine King Realm no matter what, right?


    Not just them, even when Tong saw Ye Yuan, he had a disappointed look too.


    Shark One praised how very powerful Ye Yuan was previously, but he did not mention Ye Yuan''s Martial Dao cultivation.


    Him coming out to welcome in high spirits could be said to be very sincere already. But seeing that Ye Yuan was only Seventh Level Dao Profound, he was naturally greatly disappointed.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone, and his expression turned intent as he said, "His Majesty hasn''t even spoken yet, and each and every one of you jumped out. Do you have any respect for His Majesty at all? Could it be that the merman clan''s officials are all so insolent?"


    WIth just one sentence, it made those merfolks who were jumping around instantly become mute.


    "Y-Your Majesty, we didn''t mean that."


    Tong waved his hand, indicating for them to shut up. He then said to Ye Yuan, "Young man, you �� really have confidence in refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill? I''ll say the nasty things first. If you let this king discover that you''re making a fool out of our merman clan, this king definitely won''t spare you!"


    Only when those merman powerhouses saw that His Majesty did not have the intention of pursuing it did they let out a sigh in relief.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I haven''t even entered the front door yet, and you''re threatening me. Could it be that this is your merman clan''s hospitality? Also, doesn''t Your Majesty know that alchemists �� can''t be offended? Your attitude, this young master don''t dare to guarantee what the hell I''ll refine out!"


    Ye Yuan originally did not want to be overbearing. Who knew that this bunch of fellows went from bad to worse.


    He originally saw Tong receive personally and was even a little bit moved. He did not think that Tong was also a stuck up fellow.


    If not for the Pearl Have Tears, he would have just left without saying goodbye.


    Alchemists naturally could not be offended. Because it was seriously too easy for them to want to do a little underhanded trick in the medicinal pill.


    At that time, they would not even know how they died.


    Tong had underestimated Ye Yuan too. Otherwise, he would not say such words either.


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s faces change.


    This was a blatant threat!


    In this underwater world, there was actually someone who dared to threaten the merman clan''s king. Truly had no idea of death or danger.


    "You dare to threaten this king?" Tong''s eyes glared. A terrifying aura pressed over towards Ye Yuan.


    However, when this aura arrived in front of Ye Yuan, it actually directly dissipated into nothing, as if it had never appeared before.


    Seeing this scene, Tong''s two eyes could not help turning intent, and he put away the belittling intent.


    This young man did not seem to be as simple as on the surface!


    By the side, Shark One saw that the situation seemed to be getting rather out of control and hurriedly stepped forward to resolve the awkwardness by saying, "Haha, everybody, calm down, calm down! Your Majesty, Master Ye is absolutely the most formidable alchemist that this official has seen, not one of! Don''t humans have a phrase called seeing is believing? Not personally seeing his strength, how can one easily deny it?"


    Tong gave him a glance and said coolly, "Alright then. Whatever there is, go back to the clan first before talking!"


    Shark One hurriedly came before Ye Yuan and apologized vigorously.


    The clansmen did not know Ye Yuan''s terror, but he was deeply aware of Ye Yuan''s terrifying aspects.


    How Ye Yuan killed the Heavenspan Island Master, he did not see it.


    But the spectacle of Ye Yuan killing Hei Meng was still vivid in his mind!


    Too astonishing!


    It was just that saying this sort of words, nobody would believe at all.


    A Seventh Level Dao Profound martial artist actually finished off a peak Void Mystic powerhouse so effortlessly.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, "This minor thing, I naturally won''t take it to heart. But �� I don''t wish for people to come and provoke me."


    The moment Shark One heard, he hurriedly nodded his head and voiced his assent, "Your Excellency, rest assured. When Shark One returns to the clan, I''ll explain to His Majesty!"


    Bad terms on the first meeting!


    Actually, Ye Yuan was very understanding of the merman clan''s thoughts too. He was seriously too young. It was very easy to give people the impression that young people could not be trusted with important tasks.


    In reality, it was also not once or twice that he encountered such a thing.


    As long as these people did not act blind and provoke him, everything could be discussed.


    After all, he really needed a one-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears too.


    ...


    "Shark One, look what you''ve done! You sent Shark Three back, saying that you found a very formidable alchemist. But what kind of person did you bring back? Huh?"


    Upon returning to the clan, Shark One first arranged residences for Ye Yuan''s party, then hurriedly came to find Tong to explain.


    Of course, what greeted him was Tong''s raving bellows.


    "Exactly! Shark One, His Majesty saw that you''re normally sharp, that''s why he let you go to the Nine Phoenix Island to handle affairs. But you brought back such a brat whose hair isn''t even fully grown. What can he do?"


    "Shark One, don''t think that we don''t know if we don''t go ashore. The human race''s apex alchemists, how can they be of this age? You �� Aren''t you messing around here?"


    ...


    Not just Tong, the merfolk clan''s clansmen also started to reprove Shark One.


    It was seriously that the feeling Ye Yuan gave him was too unreliable.


    Originally, they heard Shark One boast until flowers cascaded from the skies. Now, upon seeing Ye Yuan, this contrast was too great.


    Shark One did not defend himself either, just quietly waiting for these guys to finish reproving before laughing coldly and said, "Nine Phoenix Island? That has already become the past!"


    "En? Shark One, what''s the meaning of your words?" Tong''s gaze turned intent, and he asked.


    No idea why, he had a feeling that the meaning in Shark One''s words seemed like this matter had some connections with Ye Yuan.


    Shark One gave a bow toward Tong, then told the events that happened on the Nine Phoenix Island exactly as it was.


    "Impossible! That Hei Meng is the blood brother of the Black Shark Clan''s king! His cultivation was only slightly inferior to the Black Shark Clan''s king. How can a mere Seventh Level Dao Profound human possibly kill him?"


    "Shark One, your ability of cooking up wild tales is getting more and more impressive!"


    "That brat looks to be around 30 years old. Even though his strength is decent, to say killing Hei Meng, isn''t it preposterous?"


    Shark One met with the clansmen questioning the moment he finished telling.


    Telling this sort of words, nobody would believe it either.


    However, Tong became lost in thought.

 1152 The High Priest Knows!

    "You''re saying that the 20 feet in front of him is a restricted area?" Tong asked with furrowed brows.


    Shark One nodded his and said, "Ain''t that right! When Master Ye was transcending tribulation, so many people were watching! The power of that heavenly tribulation absolutely rivals the all-out attack of a Void Mystic powerhouse. But that heavenly tribulation actually spontaneously dissipated when it reached 20 feet in front of him!"


    Thinking of Ye Yuan''s god slaying-like 20 feet restricted area back then, Shark One still had lingering fear in his heart until now.


    But Tong fell silent when he heard it.


    Him releasing pressure previously also carried the intention of probing.


    But just as Shark One said, when his aura arrived 20 feet in front of Ye Yuan, it was no longer able to advance an inch further.


    With his strength, going to pressure a Seventh Level Dao Profound, such a bizarre situation had never occurred before.


    "Shark One, then how confident do you feel this Ye Yuan refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill is? You''re also aware of the importance of the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill to Xun-er," Tong inquired.


    When Shark One heard, he said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, pill refinement this sort of thing, who can guarantee? Even our sea race''s alchemists, likely no one dares to say this sort of words to Your Majesty either, right? However, I witnessed Master Ye''s alchemy skills with my own eyes. It absolutely reached the acme of perfection! This point, Shark Two can bear witness!"


    Shark Two immediately said when he heard: "Your Majesty, Shark Two can bear witness, Master Ye''s Alchemy Dao is absolutely seldom seen in my lifetime! High Priest Li ��"


    Talking up to here, Shark Two suddenly felt like he spoke too much and hurriedly shut up


    However, everyone understood his meaning!


    High Priest Li was far inferior to Master Ye Yuan!


    High Priest Li was the most formidable alchemist of the merfolk clan. His Alchemy Dao''s strength was also among the very best in the entire sea race.


    It was just that �� his temper was very explosive.


    The matter of finding Ye Yuan to come and refine pills, Tong deliberately hid from him. He was afraid of him jumping out and causing trouble


    When Tong heard that, he let out a sigh and said, "Although that''s the case, the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill is Xun-er''s last hope."


    Tong also knew that the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was not easy to refine. But he lost himself in his concern and somewhat lost his composure for a moment.


    Mystic grade medicinal pills, how many alchemists dared to guarantee that they could 100% refine it?


    The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was not an ordinary medicinal pill. Even Ye Yuan also just saw it in records. The difficulty of refining could be imagined.


    Forget about 100%; the sea race''s alchemists did not have even 5% assurance.


    Listening to what Shark One saw and heard on the Nine Phoenix Island, those merfolk powerhouses all felt like they were listening to a fairy tale.


    They were still half-doubtful, half-believing. Could a Seventh Level Dao Profound human martial artist have such terrifying Martial Dao strength and Alchemy Dao strength?


    This sounded like a fairytale no matter what.


    But they were not worried either. Alchemy, this sort of thing, ultimately needed one to showcase their true abilities.


    If they discovered that Ye Yuan was only here to swindle the Pearl Have Tears, his outcome would definitely be very tragic!


    This large group of people was discussing official matters when all of a sudden, there was a subordinate who came to report flusteredly.


    "Your Majesty, not good! Things are not good!"


    Tong''s expression turned sullen, and he reproached, "Kicking up a big fuss for what? Don''t you see that we''re discussing official business?"


    That subordinate said, "High Priest Li, he �� he went to challenge that human alchemist!"


    That subordinate''s words made everyone''s expression change.


    Tong''s face turned black, and he said, "Didn''t I say that nobody is allowed to let him know? What''s the matter with you all? Who let it slip out of their mouths, beat them to death for me!"


    "Wait a minute, Your Majesty! Since High Priest Li wants to go and challenge him, then why don''t we �� push the boat along the current, and witness his Alchemy Dao''s strength a bit?" At this time, an elder stopped Tong.


    Tong''s eyes lit up, thinking that this idea was good.


    But the expression of Shark One by the side changed.


    But when he saw His Majesty''s highly-spirited appearance, he sensibly shut his mouth.


    He knew that if he did not let them take a look at Master Ye''s strength, they would not give up.


    ...


    After reaching the residence, Ye Yuan studied the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art.


    This cultivation method was indeed incomparably powerful. If he could cultivate the Human Path chapter to the realm of Tier 9 great circle of perfection, it was virtually impervious to blades and swords.


    Unless it was the Ten Great Divine Kings, that kind of powerhouses who grasped Divine Dao laws, even if he stood there and did not move, ordinary martial artists probably could not even breach his defenses.


    The black tortoise clan''s defensive prowess was indeed powerful until it made people despair.


    It was just that this cultivation method was not easy to cultivate.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s horizons were exceedingly broad and his foundation was exceptionally good, he could only cultivate to the fifth level too. There was still a very great distance away from the ninth level.


    Bang bang bang!


    Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds interrupted Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together. Clearly, he was very displeased towards this sort of interruption.


    Opening the door to take a look, it was a merfolk clan''s little girl.


    Different from the merfolk clan''s men''s hideousness, this clan''s women were all beautiful like celestials. They were even more beautiful than the vast majority of human girls.


    This young lady in front of him was precisely the girl that Shark One arranged to be in charge of his daily life and accommodations, called Lian Qiu.


    Toward this little girl, Ye Yuan was still very satisfied. She was beautiful, obedient, and very sensible.


    He instructed her not to come and disturb. Could it be that something happened?


    Ye Yuan had yet to figure out what was happening and was dragged out by Lian Qiu. As she ran, she explained, "Your Excellency, quickly go! High Priest Li heard that His Majesty invited a human alchemist over and is greatly enraged, and is already rushing over here! High Priest Li''s Martial Dao''s cultivation is extremely formidable. Furthermore, his temper is very bad. I''m afraid that he will hurt you. Hurry up and leave from the back-door!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled.


    He did not expect that this little servant girl was actually still so concerned about him.


    Ye Yuan''s figure stopped. How could Lian Qiu be Ye Yuan''s match? With a bounce, she actually bumped into Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    A masculine figure hit her head-on, making Lian Qiu involuntarily flush bright red.


    Ye Yuan asked with a smile, "I''m just a human, so why do you want to help me?"


    Lian Qiu used pure eyes to look at Ye Yuan and said in puzzlement, "I �� Lord Shark One made me take care of you. I �� I naturally can''t let anything happen to you!"


    Talking up to here, she suddenly came back to her senses, dragging Ye Yuan''s hand and was about to go, saying anxiously, "Oh no, Your Excellency, there''s no time, quickly leave! High Priest Li is going to reach soon!"


    But Ye Yuan was unwilling to go and said with a faint smile, "Huhu, if I can''t even best your clan''s high priest, do you think that Shark One will invite me back? Relax. On account of your face, I won''t fuss over trifles with him"


    The moment Lian Qiu heard, she was dumbstruck.


    Not fuss over trifles with the high priest?


    In her eyes, the high priest was a paramount existence, second only to His Majesty.


    But this young man before her eyes looked to be merely 30 plus years of age no matter how one looked.


    What right did he have to say such raving words?


    But Lian Qiu also felt that what Ye Yuan said was very reasonable.


    If Lord Shark One felt that Ye Yuan was inferior to the high priest, why would he invite him back?


    Just as Lian Qiu was wavering hesitantly, High Priest Li rushed over in great haste.

 1153 On-the-Spot Teaching

    "Where''s the human alchemist?"


    "Where''s the human alchemist? Quickly get out here for this seat!"


    A boorish, loud voice shook until the building was about to collapse.


    "Stop shouting, I''m here."


    Ye Yuan''s figure slowly walked out, while Lian Qiu followed behind him carefully, her eyes filled with worry.


    When Li saw Ye Yuan, his gaze was filled with disdain.


    "Did Shark One that brat lose his head? Finding a brat like you over, is this making fun of our merfolk clan? This seat already came to an agreement with His Majesty and was going to help Xun-er refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill. Is Shark One this punk finding trouble?"


    Li''s voice was like a resounding bell, shocking until people''s eardrums hurt.


    This appearance did not look like a person who did pill refinement, this kind of meticulous work.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You say making fun, that works too. It''s just that �� I wonder if you have enough strength or not to amuse me."


    With Ye Yuan''s perception, he had long detected that there were quite a few people currently spying upon here.


    He knew that if he did not bring out a bit of ability, he would really be looked down upon by this bunch of fellows.


    Might as well, Ye Yuan would simply teach this old man a good lesson and let the merfolk clan''s people know the terror of his, Ye Yuan''s, Alchemy Dao''s strength.


    "You! Age isn''t big, but your tone isn''t small! A brat like you hasn''t even fully grown your hair, and you dare to speak this sort of big talk? Originally, I even thought that Shark One that punk invited some experts. Seeing you, I can''t be bothered to even take action! Brat, take the chance when this seat is in a good mood today, hurry up and scram out of the merfolk clan. Otherwise, you can forget about ever leaving!" Li said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What? You, as the merfolk clan''s high priest, could it be that you''re still scared of me, this junior?"


    Li''s fish eyes glared, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Scared? You brat, I think you''re tired of living!"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said coolly, "Not scared, so then let''s have wager. How''s that?"


    "Betting with this seat? Brat, this seat wagers your life, do you dare or not?" Li said with a cold smile.


    "What''s to not dare? If I lose, take away this life. If you lose, kneel down and give this young master three kowtows, and acknowledge me as your master. How''s that?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance of cornering him, how could Li still endure it? He barked, "Compete then, would this seat be scared of you, this brat?"


    As he said, his fish eyes swiveled, and he said with a cold smile, "Boy, you set up a trap for this seat? Don''t tell me that we''re competing in refining human medicinal pills! The, this seat won''t!"


    It was already pretty good for the sea race''s alchemists to be able to refine demonic pills well.


    Having them refine human medicinal pills, that was impossible.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Compete in demonic pills then! As for the pill formula, you pick it."


    Li''s face turned black. Ye Yuan''s attitude was looking down on him from the start!


    As the high priest, how could he endure such triggering?


    "Hahaha, what an arrogant boy! Letting this seat choose the pill formula, don''t you regret it!" Li was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan''s attitude.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no regret, this word, in this young master''s dictionary. Just pick the one that you''re best at. To this young master, there''s no difference."


    "Good, arrogant enough! Since you have no idea of life or death, compete in the Demon Whirl Pill then! Don''t blame this seat for bullying you. If you don''t know the pill formula, this old man can give you three days'' time to deduce the pill formula," Li said.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled. This old man''s temper was a little explosive, but he seemed to be identical as Shark One; his thoughts were very pure. He actually even wanted to give him three days'' time to deduce the pill formula.


    However, this Demon Whirl Pill was just a very ordinary Tier 9 demonic pill. It did not count as much. Ye Yuan naturally knew the pill formula.


    At once, Ye Yuan said coolly, "No need, begin right now."


    Gong!


    Ye Yuan directly brought out the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron and started refining.


    The Demon Whirl Pill was just an ordinary demonic pill. The spirit medicines it required, Ye Yuan did not lack any inside his storage ring.


    He scoured the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden. The spirit medicines in his storage ring were too numerous to count.


    As long as it was not overly valuable spirit medicines, he really did not lack.


    However, when Li saw this scene, his eyeballs popped out.


    Before refining pills, didn''t one need to take a bath and burn incense, meditating to concentrate?


    This �� What kind of pill refinement was this?


    Furthermore, when he came out, he did not bring along the Demon Whirl Pill''s spirit medicines on him. At this time, he could stand at one side blankly, and watch Ye Yuan refine pills.


    "Hehe, you all look! This human alchemist is displaying meager skills before an expert in front of the high priest!"


    "High Priest is one of the very best alchemists in the entire sea race. This human is merely Seventh Level Dao Profound. Compared to High Priest, he''s far too lacking, right?"


    "Isn''t that so! Heard that this is the human alchemist that Lord Shark One invited back, saying to refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill for Young Patriarch. Isn''t this messing around?"


    ...


    At this time, quite a few servants also crowded over.


    However, they were clearly not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    They were all not alchemists, but more or less still knew a little about alchemy.


    They had never seen before which alchemist would refine pills ''unprofessionally'' like this in front of everyone.


    "Hahaha, ignorant child! Refining pills like this, how is there the logic of forming the pill? Wasted a bunch of Tier 9 spirit medicines in vain!" Li laughed loudly and was full of disdain.


    Ye Yuan did not care about him and started refining on his own. His actions were completed from the beginning to the end without stopping.


    Soon enough, Li could not laugh anymore.


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance!


    Ye Yuan''s set of alchemy technique was simply too pleasing to the eyes and mind.


    Not just the high priest, those servants surrounding and watching could not laugh anymore either.


    They were completely brought into a daze with this pill refinement by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan forcefully turned the dreary pill refinement into a grand banquet of art!


    Those who knew the profession, they gleaned considerable benefits. Those who did not know, they had a feast for their eyes.


    Li had long tossed the matter of the competition beyond the ninth heavens already. He was already completely absorbed by Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills.


    The refinement of demonic pills was not exactly the same as the human race, but all roads led to Rome.


    In Ye Yuan''s eyes, there were originally no distinction of whatever human race, demon race.


    When researching medicinal pills in his previous life, he had always broken down the medicinal pills to the most primitive make-up to research.


    This solid foundation skill was not done in vain.


    Alchemy Dao would not be divided into human and demon.


    Grasping the true Great Dao, many things were drawing parallels from inferences.


    Previous life, Ye Yuan''s researching into demonic pills similarly reached the degree of the acme of perfection.


    "Ah? Turns out that when refining the Demon Whirl Pill, I need to reduce the flames'' intensity at this time!"


    "Ah! So that''s how it is! Using the complete extinguishing method here to quench the medicinal pill, why didn''t I think of it!"


    ...


    Li was just like a curious baby at this time, contributing emoticons by the side non-stop. How was there still that fierce and awe-inspiring appearance earlier?


    Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills brought him into another world.


    "Condense!"


    Following Ye Yuan''s light cry, only then, did Li came back to his senses from inside the world of pill refinement.


    Seeing the transcendent-grade Demon Whirl Pill in Ye Yuan''s hand, Li involuntarily shuddered. Only at this time did he remember the bet.

 1154 Completely Convinced

    "High Priest, it''s your turn," Ye Yuan looked at Li and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Li''s face turned red, and he stammered, "This �� This �� This doesn''t count! The Demon Whirl Pill is merely the simplest Tier 9 demonic pill. Want to compete, let''s compete in high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pills!"


    This Li actually acted scoundrelly.


    "High Priest, the Demon Whirl Pill was suggested personally by yourself. How can you go back on your words?" Lian Qiu said this sentence at the behest of supernatural powers.


    This sentence made Li even more embarrassed.


    His face turned back, and he glared with his fish eyes as he said fiercely, "Little lass, you dare to say such words to this seat?"


    Lian Qiu was frightened by him and instinctively hid behind Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan scoffed, "What? Is it very impressive to put on airs in front of a little girl?"


    Li''s expressions alternated between green and purple. Actually, he already admitted defeat in his heart. It was just due to a matter of face that he did not wish to kowtow and acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master in front of so many people.


    Letting him refine a transcendent-grade Demon Whirl Pill, if he had pure dumb luck, he could still refine it.


    But it was absolutely impossible to be so relaxed and cheerily like Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Don''t want kowtow and acknowledge as your master, also can. But you have to agree to a condition of mine!"


    The moment Li heard this, it was like he was granted amnesty, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay! As long as you don''t let this seat kowtow, any conditions will do!"


    Ye Yuan pushed Lian Qiu in front of the high priest and said, "Take her in as a disciple!"


    Li was stunned, somewhat perplexed by Ye Yuan''s action.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan would state some harsh conditions. He did not think it was actually to have him take a servant girl as disciple.


    This was a huge favor. He did not expect that Ye Yuan used it up so easily.


    It was just that to Lian Qiu, it was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue.


    She turned around and looked at Ye Yuan strangely as she muttered, "Y-Your Excellency, I �� I ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What? You''re not willing?"


    Lian Qiu''s head started nodded like a chicken pecking for rice.


    Of course she was willing!


    In this place, she was merely a servant; she had no resources, no background, fading away into the masses.


    But, if she became the high priest''s disciple, that was really the carp leaping over the dragon gate.


    "Good that you''re willing. What are you still standing there for? Why haven''t you hurry up and acknowledge as your master?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Lian Qiu turned around again and look towards Li timidly, fearful that he would not agree.


    Li''s face turned back, and he said, "What are you still standing there blankly for? Kowtow and acknowledge me as your master! From this day forth, you''re my, Li''s, final disciple! Uh �� what''s your name called?"


    Lian Qiu was overjoyed and knocked her head to the ground and said, "Lian Qiu pays respect to Master!"


    Lian Qiu never would have dreamed that she could actually have such a day.


    The sea race''s social stratum was stringent. A little servant girl like her absolutely did not have the chance to see daylight.


    But now, Lord Ye Yuan, gave her this opportunity, changing her life.


    "Haha, good, good disciple! All of you listen up for me, from today onwards, Lian Qiu is my last disciple! If anyone of you were to dare bully her, that''s setting yourselves against this seat! Now, all get lost for this seat!" Li''s expression changed, saying to everyone.


    These people were all aware of the high priest''s prowess. How could they still dare to stay? They immediately dispersed in an uproar.


    However, those clansmen who had once bullied Lian Qiu before, each and every one of them was alarmed and on tenterhooks at this time, fearful that Lian Qiu would come and find trouble with them.


    Lian Qiu was only a little servant girl. There was naturally no lack of people bullying normally.


    It was just that they never thought that this little servant would have a 180 degree transformation, becoming the high priest''s disciple.


    The high priest''s disciple, in the clan, even some elders could not compare!


    Seeing everyone disperse, Li actually changed to a smiling face and said to Linq Qiu, "Haha, good disciple, you go out first. Tomorrow, come and report to master. Right now, I still have matters to discuss with Master Ye."


    Lian Qiu looked at the high priest with a look of surprise, as if feeling like she did not recognize him.


    When did the high priest become so amiable and friendly?


    However, Lian Qiu still used soliciting eyes to look toward Ye Yuan.


    To her, Ye Yuan was her greatest benefactor!


    This point, she was deeply aware of it.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew what ideas Li had. At once, he smiled and said to Lian Qiu, "You go out first then."


    ...


    "Lian Qiu, ah, no no no! Lord Lian Qiu, that �� The things in the past, it was all me who was blind and didn''t have eyes. Y-Your Excellency, just treat me as a fart and let me go!"


    The moment Lian Qiu came out, a merman came up to greet, kneeling down with a thud, slapping his own face desperately. But it gave her a fright.


    This merman, Lian Qiu was naturally familiar. It was her direct superior who had no lack of bullying her normally.


    But now, he was kneeling in front of her like a dead dog.


    This sort of change made Lian Qiu have a feeling like she was dreaming.


    Lian Qiu suddenly realized that the current her actually already had the power to control the life and death of the people who bullied her originally.


    However, Lian Qiu was still that kind-hearted little girl. She attempted to pull a long face and said, "The past matters, forget about it! But, if you let me discover that you bully my sisters, I definitely won''t let you off!"


    It was like that merman was granted amnesty, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! Lord Lian Qiu, rest assured. I won''t dare anymore in the future, won''t dare anymore in the future!"


    Those waiting for Lian Qiu were not just that one. When the others saw Lian Qiu spare that merman, they all scurried out all at once.


    There were those who fawned on her, those who begged for forgiveness, those who relied on connections to request for help, so on and so forth.


    Lian Qiu did not refuse the arrivals, handling them one by one.


    But she deeply sensed that she really seemed to be different already.


    And all of this was bestowed upon by that man!


    Lian Qiu thanked Ye Yuan from the bottom of her heart.


    ...


    After Lian Qiu left, High Priest Li followed Ye Yuan into the room subserviently.


    Seeing Ye Yuan sit down, High Priest Li did his utmost to please and actually took the initiative to pour tea for Ye Yuan!


    If this scene were to be seen by other people, their eyeballs would probably fall out.


    The fiery-tempered high priest actually served tea for someone!


    Ye Yuan received the tea that Li passed over and said coolly, "Whatever you don''t understand, ask away. If your appearance was seen by your clansmen, wouldn''t they exterminate this young man?"


    Li glared and said angrily, "They dare?!"


    Immediately after, he changed to another expression and asked carefully, "That Demon Whirl Pill �� how can it be refined like that still?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and countered with a question, "Why can''t it be refined like that? However �� with your Alchemy Dao''s standard, better don''t think anymore for the time being."


    Ye Yuan''s pinnacle refinement was established on his extremely solid foundational skills.


    This level of refinement was not what anybody could achieve.


    Disregarding other things, for Li to want to refine a Demon Whirl Pill, it needed at the very least three days and above too.


    But Ye Yuan only used two hours plus and was done.


    It was also precisely because of the refinement this time that Li knew how great the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was!


    Although he did not wish to acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master due to face, if he was able to obtain Ye Yuan''s guidance, it could let him glean considerable benefits.A proverbial saying, referring to passing the civil examinations in olden times.

 1155 Deducing Pill Formula

    "Shark One, this matter, you did very well! Letting you go to the Nine Phoenix Island was truly a wise decision! This Master Ye, this king is satisfied to the extreme!"


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s strength, Tong''s tightly knitted brows finally eased up.


    He had heard that the high priest had been hanging around Master Ye constantly these two days like a little attendant, just missing calling Master, this word.


    Shark One smiled simple and honestly when he heard that and said, "Your Majesty is too kind! This �� The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill hasn''t been refined yet. Shark One doesn''t dare to claim the credit."


    Towards Shark One, Tong was extremely satisfied.


    Seeing that Shark One was actually so modest, he felt even more pleasing to the eyes no matter how one looked.


    "En, if Xun-er is able to recover this time, I''ll reward you to enter the ancestral land and comprehend divine inscriptions!" Tong said in great delight.


    The moment Shark One heard, his heart involuntarily raced wildly.


    A powerful tribe like the merfolk clan, their ancestors had Deity Realm powerhouses too. Their legacies were preserved very wholly.


    But this inheritance could not be exhausted without moderation.


    The quotas for entering the ancestral land each time were extremely limited too.


    With Shark One''s present strength, it was not sufficient to enter the ancestral land at all.


    But because he found Ye Yuan this time and obtained Tong''s approval, he actually obtained the reward of entering the ancestral grounds.


    How could this not make him beside himself with joy?


    "Th-Thank you very much, Your Majesty!" Shark One said agitatedly.


    The clansmen all looked at Shark One with extreme envy, thinking inwardly that this guy really got lucky.


    Tong waved his hand and said, "Sent the pill formula to Master Ye yet?"


    Shark One said, "Already sent over. He said that starting tomorrow, he''s going to deduce the pill formula and go into seclusion for ten days'' time. In these ten days, nobody is allowed to disturb him!"


    Tong nodded and said, "Okay! Tomorrow, you bring him to the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion for closed-seclusion, then personally guard there. Within ten days, nobody is allowed to disturb him!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Shark One received the order and left.


    ...


    To Ye Yuan, refining a medicinal pill that he had never refined before was similarly a challenge.


    The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was not an ordinary mystic grade medicinal pill. The difficulty of refining was rather great.


    This point, he was perfectly clear.


    Li was also considered to have barely managed to touch the threshold of peak alchemy emperor. But with his strength, he did not even have 5% assurance.


    If not for so, Tong would not have been to the point of being so hopeless too.


    With inner core being broken, it was equivalent to a human martial artist''s dantian being broken. One was basically equivalent to a cripple already.


    However, not only was this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill able to repair the inner core, it could even recover 50% of the demon''s strength!


    The other 50%, as long as one spent a hundred years, they could still cultivate it back.


    Of course, this was only the medicinal effect of a high-grade Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill.


    As for superior-grade, even transcendent-grade, the merfolk clan did not dare to hope at all.


    After all, this kind of obscure to the extreme, as well as extremely high refining difficulty medicinal pill, barely anyone could refine it in the world too.


    High-grade was already the most ideal circumstance.


    "The alchemist who created the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was truly a rare talent! The medicinal pills that this medicinal pill requires are not very heaven-defying, but it can unleash such a heaven-defying effect! This pill formula let me glean considerable benefits! To be able to utilize mystic grade medicinal pills to such a transcendent degree, it has to be none other than a Deity Realm powerhouse! Looks like the alchemy path is boundless!"


    Researching the pill formula, Ye Yuan praised the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill to no end as well.


    This ingenuity of this pill formula''s design, even Ye Yuan could only see the dust of the rider ahead too.


    In this world, a pill formula that even he was unable to keep pace with, it absolutely originated from the hands of a Deity Realm powerhouse.


    "Heh, if not for comprehending the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, wanting to refine this medicinal pill would probably really be not too easy. One can only say that that Shark Xun had good fortune." Ye Yuan started laughing to himself.


    After marveling for a while, Ye Yuan started to officially deduce the pill formula!


    To refined a mystic grade medicinal pill, the spirit medicines required were not cabbages.


    Even if Ye Yuan scoured the entire Immemorial Medicine Garden, he only had one set of medicinal herbs on his hands too.


    Looking according to the medicinal herb quantities on the pill formula, it was barely enough to use to refine twice.


    However, even if it was two refinements, to an alchemist, it was still a tremendous endeavor.


    Ye Yuan''s soul force slowly spread out. His sea of consciousness was revolving at high speed, deducing each detail of the medicinal pill''s refinement.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was enveloped in a ball of golden light. This was the profound and mysterious power of Divine Dao laws!


    For the first time refinement of a pill formula, deduction was a very important thing.


    The success rate of the refinement had the most direct relations with whether or not the deducing succeeded.


    However, this was not a simple task!


    Mystic grade medicinal pills could be said to have myriad changes in an instant during the process of refinement.


    Wanting to deduce the pill formula fully, the calculations that one needed to go through, that was an astronomical magnitude.


    For ordinary alchemists, just this magnitude of calculations was sufficient to make them breakdown.


    There were even some top-tier alchemists who became mentally-handicapped because of forcefully deducing pill formulas!


    Such examples were not unavailable!


    This Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill could be said to be one of the pinnacle-most mystic grade medicinal pills. The calculation load required in it was simply immeasurable.


    Following the deduction getting deeper and deeper, Ye Yuan''s brows also gradually knitted together tightly.


    The pill formula created by a Deity Realm powerhouse was indeed not that easy to work out.


    If not for Ye Yuan comprehending the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, wanting to deduce this pill formula was probably not that easy of a matter.


    Time slowly trickled by. Ye Yuan was already completely immersed in contemplating the pill formula, having no stray thoughts in his mind.


    While outside the door, Shark One was like an ant on a hot pan.


    Whether or not Ye Yuan''s refinement succeed concerned whether he could have the chance to comprehend divine inscriptions.


    This opportunity was too important to him!


    "I say, can you stop pacing around anymore or not! Moving to and fro, you''re swaying until my eyes are dizzy!" Li said crossly.


    Shark One had an awkward look, and he said with an obsequious smile, "High Priest, I �� aren''t I nervous here? It''s already the tenth day, Master Ye �� he hasn''t come out yet!"


    Li shot him a glare and said, "Do you think deducing pill formulas is the same as cultivating cultivation skills? Let me tell you, if it were me going all out to deduce this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, I''ll definitely vomit blood and die!"


    Shark One was startled when he heard that. He really did not know that deducing a pill formula actually had such severe consequences.


    "N-No way, right? It''s just deducing a pill formula, there are such serious consequences? High Priest, didn''t you deduce this pill formula before too?" Shark One said in shock.


    Li coughed dryly twice and said, "Deducing and deducing are different! My kind of deduction is only a crude deduction. I can''t even accomplish one-ten thousandth of a true deduction! But, wanting to use one set of medicinal herbs to refine successfully, even if one doesn''t carry out a 100% deduction, they need to deduce 90% too! That degree of deduction is sufficient to make a high-level Alchemy Emperor vomit blood and die! I only deduced one-ten thousandth and was already about to vomit blood!.


    This version, it was still Shark One''s first time hearing. His face turned as pale as paper straight away.


    He really did not know that deducing a pill formula was actually this perilous!

 1156 Refinement Failed!

    "High Priest, then �� to what degree do you think Master Ye will deduce the formula to? He �� Something wouldn''t have happened to him, right?" Shark One said worriedly.


    "How is that possible? When alchemists are deducing pill formulas, they will naturally do their best! Those who truly pushed themselves to death were either fools or had no other options. How much Ye Yuan''s limit is, I really can''t say for sure. But I reckon that he has hopes of working it out to the extent of 30%, right?" Li thought about it and said, feeling rather uncertain.


    The moment Shark One heard, he couldn''t help saying somewhat disappointedly, "Only 30%? Then �� the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill most likely isn''t that easy to refine!"


    The moment Li heard this, he suddenly burst into anger and said, "You fool! The Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill is a pill formula left behind by a Deity Realm powerhouse! Being able to deduce 30% is already a heaven-defying existence!"


    Shark One did not dare to rebut and mumbled, "I �� Aren''t I worried that Master Ye can''t refine the medicinal pill here? Young Patriarch is waiting for the medicinal pill to save his life!"


    Li calmed down too and heaved a sigh as he said, "Whether or not he can refine it out will depend on Xun-er''s luck! In my view, if even Ye Yuan can''t refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, probably no one can refine it in this world too."


    These few days, he followed behind Ye Yuan while fussing around and indeed learned quite a bit of stuff.


    The extensiveness of Ye Yuan''s knowledge in alchemy made Li ashamed of his inferiority.


    Although Li was hailed as one of the sea race''s strongest alchemists, compared to Ye Yuan, it was simply comparing a firefly to the full moon.


    Just as the two people were sighing, the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion''s front door behind them opened with a creak.


    Ye Yuan walked out in a calm manner.


    "Apologies, I made you guys wait a long time. The mental strength expended from deducing the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was too great. I slept for three days and nights in one go," Ye Yuan said with a guilty look.


    In truth, he already finished deducing three days ago.


    Just as Li said, deducing pill formulas exhausted mental strength too much. Hence, he dozed off for three days and nights.


    Li had an expression like he had seen a ghost and said in surprise, "You''re done resting in three days? I previously deduced one-ten thousandth and rested for a full ten days before recovering!"


    Honestly speaking, although Ye Yuan said closed-seclusion for ten days, Li actually did not have much faith for Ye Yuan to come out in just ten days.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "En, pretty much recovered."


    Li scooted over and asked, "Then, how much �� did you deduce in seven days?"


    "How much? Of course it''s deduced fully! Deducing all of it can''t even guarantee refining a finished medicinal pill. Not deducing fully, is there still any meaning?" Ye Yuan retorted with a question.


    Li opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but did not know what he should say.


    What was the meaning of fully?


    100%?


    This �� was this really something that humans could do?


    This guy must be bragging!


    Yes, definitely bragging!


    Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills, he was absolutely convinced.


    But to say that Ye Yuan fully deduced the pill formula in seven days, he did not believe even if he was beaten to death!


    Of course, he was totally unaware that not only did Ye Yuan''s heart realm reach the great circle of perfection, his calculation ability far surpassing normal people, his Alchemy Dao even comprehended Divine Dao laws.


    Although the deduction was hard, it still could not stump Ye Yuan.


    "Alright, begin refining the pill then. Heh, haven''t felt my blood boil like this for a long time! This Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill has enough of a kick!" Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.


    To him, ordinary mystic grade medicinal pills were already unable to enter his arcane sights.


    With his current alchemy strength, refining mystic grade medicinal pills would not be too troublesome.


    But the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was different!


    This medicinal pill successfully stirred up Ye Yuan''s wild fervor from the depths of his heart.


    ...


    The Emerald Tranquil Pavilion was originally the pill refinement venue prepared for Ye Yuan. At this time, inside the hall of the Emerald Tranquil Pavilion, it was already packed with the merfolk clan''s powerhouses.


    There was even a young merman lying horizontally in the great hall. It was precisely Young Patriarch Xun.


    Toward these people surrounding and watching, Ye Yuan did not have much objection.


    To him, once he entered the pill refinement state, he would concentrate 100% and do not need to be like others, chasing everyone away before they could maintain a peaceful state of mind.


    Regarding Shark One finding Ye Yuan, Tong was still very gratified.


    But when it really came down to the pill refinement, he became somewhat hesitant again.


    Regarding, Ye Yuan''s strength, he already did not doubt in the slightest. But as the king, he was deeply aware of this Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill''s terror.


    Ever since Xun was injured, he was still unconscious until now.


    His injuries already could not endure the time to find another set of spirit medicine.


    If Ye Yuan''s refinement failed, then what awaited Xun was only death.


    "High Priest, in your view �� how much is Master Ye''s success rate?" Tong could not resist asking.


    Li mused for a moment, but he finally still shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it''s not that I''m speaking up for Ye Yuan, but wanting to refine the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill in two refinements is truly making it too hard on him! Although he said that he fully deduced the pill formula, deduction and refinement are two separate matters. Even if he really fully deduced the pill formula, wanting to succeed in two refinements, that''s virtually impossible!"


    Hearing Li''s words, Tong''s heart involuntarily sunk.


    "Could it be that �� Xun-er''s fate is meant to be like so? If Xun-er meets with any mishap, this kind will make the Black Shark Clan pay the price even if I have to risk this old life!" Tong gnashed his teeth in hatred as he talked.


    Li gave him a glance and said, "Your Majesty doesn''t need to despair either. Xun-er might not be without hope. Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao''s strength, this seat is wholeheartedly convinced! If there are people capable of refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill in this world, nobody is worthy except for him! Although there are only two chances, with his strength, there should be hopes of refining out a defect Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill! If his luck is good, low-grade might not be impossible too!"


    Tong''s eyes lit up and he said, "Seriously?"


    Li nodded and said, "En. If it were me, I absolutely can''t refine it. But he absolutely have hope! It''s just that, if it''s a defective product, for Xun-er to want to recover his strength, it will likely have to expend a great deal of effort."


    Talking to the back, Li also let out a sigh.


    While talking, Ye Yuan already started refining.


    Ye Yuan directly used the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art. The nine stars formation diagram opened up fully, covering the clouds and obscuring the sun!


    Seeing this scene, everyone revealed a deep look of astonishment.


    Especially Li, he even had an excited look.


    The Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art was the human race''s alchemy skill. But reaching this level, alchemy skills were already different roads leading to the same destination.


    Previous life, Ye Yuan had once researched the demon race''s alchemy skills before and improved the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art. It was similarly able to refine demonic pills!


    Following the progression of the refinement, the nine stars on the nine stars formation diagram were lit up in proper order.


    In a twinkle, a day''s time passed. The nine stars formation diagram already had five lit up.


    Everyone was beside themselves with excitement. The refinement seemed to progress very smoothly.


    But right at this time, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron emitted intense vibrations. Everyone''s faces changed!


    Among them, included Ye Yuan!


    The nine stars formation diagram in the sky dissipated with a loud bang. The medicinal cauldron also gradually cooled down.


    Everyone''s expression was incomparably ugly. They knew that this first refinement was considered a catastrophic failure.

 1157 Great Enemy Forces Bearing down upon the Border

    "It �� failed?"


    "What a pity! It clearly already lit up five stars, If the nine stars were all lit up, it should be able to succeed, right?"


    "What''s to pity! Just five stars, it''s still far away! This whatever Master Ye boasted to the skies previously. Looking at it now, he''s also merely thus!"


    "Sigh! Could it be that Young Patriarch Xun really can''t tide over this hurdle? The patriarch, he''s clearly so nice. I''m really unreconciled to it!"


    ...


    The nine stars formation diagram collapsed, making everyone''s faces reveal a look of disappointment.


    While on Tong''s face, a look of hopelessness revealed even more.


    One failure was equivalent to Xun''s life cutting in half.


    If Ye Yuan condensed the nine stars to seven stars, or even the extent of eight stars, he would not be so hopeless either.


    After all, that was already very close to success.


    However, Ye Yuan merely condensed five stars!


    The nine stars formation diagram, even a fool could tell that nine needed to be lit up before on could form the pill.


    Five stars only barely managed to go over half.


    Seeing this sort of outcome, Tong seriously could not sit still anymore.


    He was just about to go up but was held back by Li.


    Li shook his head at Tong, and then he said to the others solemnly, "All shut your mouths for this seat!"


    With his yell, everyone understood that this was to keep them from disturbing Ye Yuan.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently sitting with his legs crossed, propping up on his knees, his head in his hands. He actually went into a daze.


    But everyone knew that he obviously did not really go into a daze here.


    "High Priest, he ��" Tong said in puzzlement softly.


    Li shook his head and said, "I don''t understand either! But at this time, we''d best not disturb him. Looks like he wants to carry on refining!"


    "Carry on refining!"


    Tong could not resist raising his voice for a bit, drawing numerous gazes. But he realized the inappropriateness very quickly and lowered his voice and said, "At this time, shouldn''t he sum up the experience of failure, and refine again after a few days?"


    Li said, "Logically speaking, it''s like that. But �� I really can''t figure this Ye Yuan out. But no matter what, our only hope lies on him!"


    The two people were currently discussing at length when the corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth suddenly curled up. Ye Yuan immediately leaped up.


    With this, everyone burst into an uproar.


    "What''s Master Ye doing here? How long has it been only? Could it be that he''s going to continue refining?"


    "He �� He wouldn''t be abandoning himself to despair, right?"


    "Yeah, this is also too reckless! At this time, how can one carry on refining?"


    However, Ye Yuan treated them as air, completely living in his own world.


    Other people''s discussion, he did not take in a word from start to end.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan directly started purifying the remaining half of the medicinal embryo, then threw it into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    The nine stars formation diagram activated once more!


    It happened as if it was simply natural. It was smooth and spellbinding.


    It was just that everyone''s confidence in him became even more lacking.


    Tong said in a solemn voice, "This guy is also acting too recklessly! If he wastes this final chance because of his arrogance, this king definitely won''t spare him!"


    Li gave Tong a glance and showed a bitter smile.


    Honestly speaking, he was also very perplexed by Ye Yuan''s action.


    To be able to light up five stars already made Li greatly astonished.


    Li felt that as long as he accumulated and deduce the pill formula one more time, perhaps he would really have hopes of refining it.


    But Ye Yuan just thought for 15 minutes with his head in his hands, and he immediately started refining.


    What could 15 minutes of time do?


    Except, Ye Yuan refined like nobody else was around just like that.


    One star, two stars, three stars ��


    Gradually, one star after another was being lit up.


    When it reached the fifth star being lit up, everyone held their breaths, eyes glued onto the nine stars formation diagram.


    The refinement earlier, Ye Yuan toppled here!


    This time, would it still be here or not?


    Time slowly trickled by. The merfolk powerhouses did not dare to breathe loudly.


    They felt that this was simply torturous.


    Finally, a beam of light shot straight for the nine stars formation diagram from inside the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron. The sixth star was lit up!


    Seeing this scene, everyone heaved a light sigh in relief without prior agreement.


    This refinement was seriously too exciting.


    But Li had a black face and lowered his voice and said, "What are you all agitated for? Starting now, it is the most difficult time! At any moment, he has the possibility of failing! All of you shut your mouths for this seat. If the refinement failed because of you all, I''ll annihilate you guys!"


    When everyone heard that, each and every one of them sensibly shut their mouths, and did not dare to make a tiny bit of noise anymore.


    But the subsequent refinement following that was unexpectedly smooth.


    Seven stars, eight stars, nine stars!


    "Nine stars formation diagram, withdraw!"


    Following Ye Yuan''s light cry, the nine stars formation diagram was directly taken into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron!


    "Condense!"


    Light faded away. Everyone crowded over.


    Tong had an appearance of being concerned about personal gains and losses as he asked Ye Yuan, "Master Ye, h-how is it? Can it �� reach low-grade or not?"


    "Low-grade?" Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, as he said rather surprisedly.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Tong said with a disappointed look, "Could it be that �� it''s only a defective product?"


    Although he did not take the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill''s grade to heart too much, low-grade and defective product still had a difference in the end.


    If it was a defective product, it was basically equivalent to Xun being crippled.


    If it was low-grade, Xun still had hope to recover to his peak state in his remaining years.


    But a hint of a light smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth as he said, "You all are also looking down on this Ye too much! See for yourselves!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan opened the furnace. Beckoning with one hand, a medicinal pill shot out and landed on the jade tray.


    All those present were dead silent.


    They gathered in front of the table, all shocked until their mouths could not close.


    Only after a long time did Li come back to his senses and said stammeringly, "T-T-Transcendent-grade! This �� How is this possible?"


    He was seriously unable to understand. Ye Yuan already failed the first time. Based on what, could he refine out a transcendent-grade Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill on the second try?


    This was the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill!


    A medicinal pill refined for the first time, even a mystic grade medicinal pill, he actually refined out transcendent-grade!


    This �� Was this possible?


    Ye Yuan smiled and retorted with a question, "Whether impossible or not, didn''t you already see it?"


    Li opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but did not know what he should say.


    Everything before his eyes gave him an extremely unreal feeling.


    The best expectation he gave Ye Yuan was also merely just low-grade. Between low-grade to transcendent-grade, the jump was too great.


    How could there possibly be an alchemist who could accomplish to this extent?


    However, Ye Yuan did it!


    "Don''t be staring blankly anymore. Since the medicinal pill is already refined, quickly let him consume it then," Ye Yuan urged.


    "Ah? Oh, right, right! Stop looking! Stop looking! Quickly let Xun-er consume the medicinal pill!" Li shouted at the top of his voice and changed all of the clansmen away.


    A group of people was bustling about, all waiting upon Xun for him to swallow the medicinal pill.


    But, right at this time, somebody suddenly came to report. The person exclaimed, "Your Majesty, not good! Not good! The Black Shark Clan is bearing down upon the borders in great forces, and already enclosed us in!"

 1158 Bright Moons Crisis

    At this time, in the far away Great Xiang Region.


    Inside Bright Moon City, killing sounds shook the heavens. Violent essence energy suffused everywhere.


    Some powerhouses of unknown identities were slaughtering without restraint in the city.


    Apart from these people, there was still another group of people.


    These people were shockingly the Vastsun City''s martial artists!


    "Zhou Jia, you actually broke our two clan''s agreement and allied with other forces to overthrow my Bright Moon City! You''ll die a horrible death!" Yue Jianqiu said fiercely.


    The person opposite him was precisely Vastsun City''s city lord, Zhou Jia!


    This morning, Zhou Jia got Bright Moon City''s gates to open through hoodwinking, leading a group of black-clothed people with unknown identities on a wanton massacre in Bright Moon City.


    The entire Bright Moon City already fell into an abyss of suffering.


    "Yue Jianqiu, don''t think that I don''t know. The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil is already not in the Vastsun Bright Moon Realm anymore. Since there''s no more Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, then why is there a need for our two families to be tied together anymore? At present, your Yue Family''s ancestor is already dead, while my Zhou Family is akin to the noonday sun! This Great Xiang Region naturally has to belong to my Zhou Family!" said Zhou Jia, who was incomparably pleased in his heart.


    Yue Jianqiu''s face turned cold, and he said, "Fine, today, you and I will determine a victor! I want to take a look at just how much capability you have!"


    Finished talking, Yue Jianqiu wielded his sword and stepped forward, peak divine king strength erupting with full power.


    "Right on time! Haha ��"


    Zhou Jia was not alarmed but rejoiced instead. Laughing wildly, his divine king domain instantly opened up!


    Seeing this scene, Yue Jianqiu''s expression changed drastically, his figure abruptly stopping.


    "Divine king domain! You �� You broke through to the realm of Void Mystic?" Yue Jianqiu said in shock.


    "Huhu, now, do you know the gap between you and me? Surrender without resistance!" Zhou Jia laughed savagely, advancing forward!


    Yue Jianqiu turned pale with fright. But behind him were all the Yue Family''s dependents, not allowing him to shrink back in the slightest.


    Yue Jianqiu gritted his teeth and urged his essence energy to the limits, toughening his scalp and receiving it.


    Right at this time, an enormous palm charged out from diagonally, heading straight for Zhou Jia!


    Zhou Jia was just about to crush Yue Jianqiu when his expression changed drastically.


    Boom!


    A palm smacked out and actually directly sent Zhou Jia flying.


    Everyone was stunned. They looked at the enormous figure behind Yue Mengli, incredibly shocked.


    Her battle soul already virtually condensed into a corporeal body.


    "Li-er! Your strength is actually already comparable to Void Mystic powerhouses!" Yue Jianqiu said in surprise.


    But Yue Mengli''s brows furrowed slightly, and she said to Yue Jianqiu, "Father, you bring the clansmen away first. I''ll bring up the rear with Wu Luo! After exiting the city, escape in the direction of the Demon Region. Wu Luo and I will rush over soon after!"


    Yue Jianqiu was stupefied. He did not quite understand. His daughter already clearly had the strength of a Void Mystic powerhouse. Why would they still have to run?


    This Bright Moon City was the Yue Family''s several hundred thousand years of foundation. How could they give up so easily?


    Yue Mengli could not help saying furiously when she saw that Father did not have any movements: "No time to explain! If you don''t go, you won''t be able to leave! This matter is absolutely not that simple! Quickly go!"


    Yue Mengli was a good-natured and gentle daughter. Yue Jianqiu had never seen such an enraged side of her before.


    He realized that the matter seemed to really not be that simple!


    "Okay, I''ll bring them away right now!" Yue Jianqiu nodded and said.


    "Heh, leaving? No need! Today, none of you can leave!"


    A black-robed man blocked everyone''s path of retreat, his aura astonishing, involuntarily making Yue Jianqiu''s expression change greatly.


    "You �� You''re Sun Man! Medicine King Hall, Sun Man!" Yue Jianqiu said panic-strickenly.


    This black-robed powerhouse was shockingly the Sun Man who escaped from the Immemorial Medicine Garden by chance on that day!


    The Medicine King Hall party that went to rescue Holy Mother Devil Flower at that time were virtually all killed by the Evil Extermination Sword.


    Fortunately, the Evil Extermination Sword''s primary objective was Holy Mother Devil Flower. Sun Man still escaped by chance while severely wounded.


    At this time, Yue Jianqiu finally understood. Turns out that the Vastsun City actually colluded together with the Medicine King Hall!


    "Go!" Yue Mengli said frostily.


    This Sun Man gave her immense pressure.


    "Li-er, Sun Man �� is a middle-stage Void Mystic powerhouse!"


    "GO!" Yue Mengli''s voice practically fell to freezing point.


    Yue Jianqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Yue family members listen up, follow me!"


    "Heheh, want to go? How can it be that easy?" Sun Man said with a cold smile.


    At this time, a large group of divine king powerhouses showed up, blocking their retreating route.


    Yue Jianqiu said in a cold voice, "Kill!"


    The Yue Family''s divine king powerhouses clashed together with those divine kings.


    Yue Mengli was just about to move when Sun Man already charged over.


    "Heh, indeed, a first-rate beauty! No wonder Ji Qingyun that brat would be moved! Little lass, surrender obediently without resistance!" Sun Man said with a cold laugh.


    "Dream on! Phaseless Divine Palm!"


    ...


    Garnersky Sea Region, underwater world.


    The Black Shark Clan joined forces with the seabed''s five great royal clans, encircling and suppressing the merfolk clan.


    Tong''s expression darkened, and he instructed, "Looks like the Black Shark Clan is planning on fighting it out to the bitter end! But, is my merfolk clan really that easy to annihilate?"


    At this time, Xun slowly opened both eyes, with a look of absent-mindedness on his face.


    "Xun-er!" Seeing Xun wake up, Tong''s face revealed a look of surprise.


    "I �� I actually didn''t die? Yii? My demonic essence is actually recovering rapidly! This �� how is this possible?"


    Xun suddenly discovered the changes within his body and was incomparably shocked.


    He remembered crystal clear that he had his inner core shattered by a Black Shark Clan''s powerhouse.


    But now, his strength was actually in the midst of rapid recovery.


    Tong smiled and said, "It was Master Ye who saved you. He refined a transcendent-grade Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, restoring your inner core completely. Why haven''t you quickly thanked him!"


    "Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill! Transcendent-grade!"


    Xun drew a cold breath!


    He naturally knew what the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill was. This shock was by no means insignificant.


    There was actually really someone who refined the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill!


    He hurriedly prostrated toward Ye Yuan and said, "Many thanks for Master Ye''s grace of rebirth!"


    Ye Yuan helped him up and said smilingly, "Get up, it''s not worth thanking. I didn''t gift you the medicinal pill for free either. It''s considered a transaction between His Majesty and me."


    Xun was extremely surprised when he heard. Something that could rival the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, the clan most likely paid a considerable price!


    Tong smiled by the side and said, "As long as I can bring you back, what does a drop of one-million-year-old Pearl Have Tears count for? In fact, it was us who took advantage of Master Ye. A transcendent-grade Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill is much more valuable than a drop of Pearl Have Tears! Shark One, order people to go inside the spirit stone cave and retrieve a drop of one-million-years-old Pearl Have Tear."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, you all are confronted by a formidable enemy, better go and deal with it quickly."


    Just as he was talking, Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed drastically, his expression becoming incomparably ugly.


    Thud, thud ��


    His heart started pounding fiercely, his entire person sweating profusely.


    In just a blink of an eye, he was already soaked in sweat from head to toe.


    "Master Ye, a-are you alright?" Xun asked concernedly.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was deathly pale, but he did not hear Xun''s words at all. The foreboding feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

 1159 Noisy!

    Sudden Impulse!


    This was definitely Sudden Impulse!


    But could there be an existence that could threaten him here?


    Right now, apart from the Ten Great Divine Kings, those kind of existences, there should not be anyone capable of threatening him, right?


    Even if he could not beat them, at least preserving his life was still not an issue.


    Tong''s strength was at the very most on the same level as Han Qing Zi. He could not threaten him at all.


    But, why would he have a feeling like he was almost suffocating?


    "Li-er?"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. The more he thought, the more likely it felt!


    "Could it be that �� something really happened to Li-er?" Ye Yuan''s heart suddenly raced.


    "M-Master Ye, are you alright?" Xun shook Ye Yuan and asked worriedly.


    Ye Yuan abruptly startled awake and said weakly, "I''m fine. Help me to the bed and lie down for a while will do."


    Tong gave an apology and said, "Master Ye, a great enemy lies ahead. I''ll have Xun take care of you first. This king will go and meet the enemy first."


    Ye Yuan"s heart was burning with anxiety. But at this time, he had strength but could not muster it up. He could only nod and said, "Your Majesty, go ahead. I''ll be fine after resting for a while."


    Refining the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill already made Ye Yuan somewhat drained. Sudden Impulse this rush, heaped on one disaster after another, making him virtually unable to move already.


    "My lord, are you alright?"


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was not well, Ao Qian and the rest hurried over when they heard the news. All of them turned pale with fright.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s ashen pale complexion, they were even more stricken with worry.


    "I''m fine. I''ll recover for a bit first. You guys go outside the door and guard. Taicang, go and take the Pearl Have Tears. We''re leaving here right away!"


    Resting for a while, Ye Yuan gradually recovered some strength and started consuming medicinal pills, restoring essence energy.


    Ye Yuan was wracked with anxiety currently, but he knew that the more anxious he was, the calmer he had to be.


    Great enemy forces were bearing down upon the border outside. If he did not even recover his strength, then that was no different from courting death.


    A day later, Ye Yuan finally recovered completely.


    Going out, Ao Qian already guarded outside for a day and night.


    But Xun was already gone. Most likely, he was worried about the war outside and already went to rendezvous with his clansmen.


    "Milord, what in the world happened?" Ao Qian asked with a concerned look.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Something might have happened to Li-er. We must hurry back to Bright Moon City as soon as possible! An unexpected change will occur if late!"


    The expressions of Ao Qian and the rest changed drastically. They knew that Ye Yuan had the ability of Sudden Impulse. These words were likely not baseless.


    Putting away the Pearl Have Tears, Ye Yuan directly led Ao Qian and the rest and left the merfolk clan.


    ...


    "Hahaha, Tong, you didn''t expect it, right? The Garnersky Sea Region''s five great royal clans already all pledged allegiance to this king! Now, there''s just your merfolk clan left! Today, I, Hei Wu, shall rule the Garnersky Sea Region! Those who bow to me will prosper, and those who resist will perish!"


    The Black Shark Clan plus five great royal clans, a massive group formed by six major ethnic groups, blocked the entire stretch of sea region until not even water could flow through.


    In front of the array, the Black Shark Clan''s king, Hei Wu, was in high and vigorous spirits, laughing wildly to no end.


    On the opposite side, Tong already sustained heavy injuries.


    This Garnersky Sea Region, the strongest was the Black Shark Clan and the Merfolk Clan, while the eight great royal clans took second place.


    In this period of time, Tong''s attention was all on the Purple Void Vitality Spirit Pill, resulting in overlooking the Black Shark Clan''s moving direction.


    He did not think that Hei Wu actually took the opportunity to subdue five great royal clans among the eight great royal clans. Moreover, surrounding the Merfolk Clan with a sneak attack approach.


    After a bout of bloody battle, Tong and the merfolk clan''s powerhouses all suffered heavy injuries.


    The Black Shark Clan was very powerful in the first place. Adding in five great royal clans, the powerhouses were even more numerous beyond counting.


    How could the merfolk clan resist such an offensive?


    "Into formation!"


    Under Tong''s command, the merfolk clan''s warriors each unleashed moves individually, condensing a powerful array formation, sheltering everyone inside.


    When Hei Wu saw the situation, he could not help laughing hard as he said, "Already at this point, do you still want to put up a last-ditch struggle? Even if I don''t breach your array formation, how long can your demonic essence sustain?"


    Tong said solemnly, "Hei Wu, you despicable person! Previously, you ambushed my son. Now, you made the Octopus Clan submit with devious schemes. Even if I die today, this king will also drag you down!"


    Before coming out, Tong also did not expect that the war this time would actually be so grim.


    Hei Wu could be said to have put in painstaking efforts for the sake of today.


    First was sneak attacking Xun, diverting the merfolk clan''s attention. Then, plotted to capture the Octopus Clan''s young patriarch, causing the Octopus Clan to be cautious in taking action, and could only join their camp.


    Finally, Hei Wu avoided the other three royal clans with heaven deceiving means, slaughtering straight to the merfolk clan''s main camp.


    All these schemes were intricately woven together.


    By the time Tong reacted to it, it was already too late.


    "Haha, don''t humans have a phrase, called all''s fair in war? When this king rules the Garnersky Sea Region, who dares to call this king despicable? Tong, do you wish to get into formation and wait for the other three clans to come over to assist? Haha, do you think that this king will give you this chance?" Hei Wu said with a wild laugh.


    Tong''s expression changed when he heard that. Did not think that he was actually seen through by Hei Wu.


    What he was planning was precisely this.


    At this time, the other three great royal clans should have already gotten the news and were currently rushing over here.


    As long as they rushed over, the crisis this time might be able to weather through.


    "Hahaha, all attack for me, break their grand array! I want to see how long they can last!" Hei Wu ordered.


    The densely packed crowd of sea people all pressed over towards the merfolk clan.


    This commotion was truly earth-shaking.


    But, just as they advanced, a figure slowly passed through from inside the merfolk clan''s grand array.


    When Hei Wu saw this scene, he could not help saying with mild surprise, "Human? Heh, brat, if you don''t want to die, get lost for this seat!"


    Seeing that figure, Tong and the rest could not help being startled, similarly saying in surprise, "M-Master Ye?"


    Xun had just recovered. Seeing Ye Yuan, he could not help being greatly alarmed and shouted, "Master Ye, it''s dangerous! Quickly return into the grand array!"


    It was as if Ye Yuan was deaf, turning a deaf ear to Xun''s shout, and still walked towards Hei Wu neither too fast nor too slowly.


    "Father, Master Ye is this child''s savior. We can''t look on with folded arms!" Xun said anxiously.


    At first, Tong''s face indeed had a look of bewilderment.


    Very quickly, he thought of the words that Shark One had once said, and he could not help revealing a look of pleasant surprise.


    He said to Xun with an excited look, "Xun-er, Master Ye �� might be our merfolk clan''s last hope! All merfolks listen up, kill! Today, fight to the death with the Black Shark Clan!"


    Tong did not hesitate anymore, directly giving up on the array formation, and charged towards the Black Shark Clan.


    Seeing this scene, Hei Wu could not help being stunned. Was Tong''s brain damaged?


    But at this time, Ye Yuan already arrived in front of him and said coolly, "Get lost!"


    Hei Wu was stupefied again. Then he grinned hideously and said, "A mere human Seventh Level Dao Profound also dares to speak to this king like this. Truly tired of living! Forget it, this king will kill you first, then exterminate the merfolk clan. After today, the Garnersky Sea Region will be my world! Hahaha ��"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he lightly spat out a word: "Noisy!"

 1160 Flicking Ones Sleeves and Leaving After Its Done!

    "Conceited and ignorant human, go to hell!"


    Hei Wu was utterly enraged by Ye Yuan''s attitude.


    Instantly expanding his divine king domain, he was going to exterminate Ye Yuan.


    In his view, exterminating a Seventh Level Dao Profound human was too effortless.


    "Shark''s Roar!"


    The divine king domain that carried Divine Dao laws instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside.


    He saw that Ye Yuan actually did not try to avoid it, standing there without making a move. A hint of a hideous grin involuntarily flashed past the corners of his mouth.


    However, his smile froze on his face very quickly.


    "En? This �� What''s going on?"


    When Hei Wu''s Shark''s Roar arrived ten-plus feet in front of Ye Yuan, it was actually unable to advance an inch further anymore!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    One had to know that his divine king domain carried the power of Divine Dao laws.


    Forget about a measly little Seventh Level Dao Profound, even divine king domains of Void Mystic powerhouses, he could instantly shred it too.


    But facing Ye Yuan, the all-conquering divine king domain actually failed.


    However, because of the influence of the power of his Divine Dao laws, it still compressed Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword a little bit.


    It was just that this bit of distance did not affect Ye Yuan much at all.


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled, and he thought of a possibility. His face revealed panic as he said, "I-Impossible! Could it be �� Could it be a pure Divine Dao Domain?"


    "Just this bit of strength? Then you can go and die already!"


    Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out beside his ear.


    Hei Wu''s expression changed drastically, only coming back to his senses now, and instinctively wanted to run away.


    Yet, it was already too late ��


    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared. Hei Wu''s eyes became wide-circles, and he said in alarm, "G-Greater teleportation!"


    Hei Wu knew that he really encountered a monster today!


    A terrifying monster!


    These were all abilities that were impossible to come into existence in the present Divine Realm. But they appeared before his eyes over and over again.


    Except, he already did not have time to regret it.


    Ye Yuan broke through and came in front of him effortlessly with his Domain of Sword''s firepower releasing fully!


    Hei Wu was dead!


    Just one exchange and a great king of the Garnersky Sea Region fell at Ye Yuan''s hands just like that.


    When the Black Shark Clan''s and the five great royal clans'' powerhouses saw this scene, their eyes became wide-saucers.


    "This �� What happened? What in the world did that human youth do?"


    "L-Lord Hei Wu, he was finished off just like that?"


    "Lord Hei Wu is dead! Lord Hei Wu is dead! Q-Quickly run!"


    ...


    Those seafolks all finally reacted to it. Each and every one scattered in all directions desperately.


    Capture the ringleader first in order to round up the bandits!


    Hei Wu already died, this six great royal clans'' alliance instantly collapsed and dissipated.


    For a moment, the underwater world fell into chaos.


    "Kill! Kill!"


    The originally low-morale merfolk clan immediately roused in spirits greatly when they saw Hei Wu being killed, battle-cries shaking the heavens.


    Tong''s gaze never left Ye Yuan''s body all along. At this time, he stared at that tall and straight figure of Ye Yuan''s, incomparably astounded in his heart.


    What did he do before? Threaten Ye Yuan?


    Tong felt a chill run down his spine, hit by waves of lingering fear.


    If he really fell out with Ye Yuan back then, the one dead right now would probably not be Hei Wu, but him, the merfolk clan''s king!


    This young man''s strength was truly too frightening!


    Not only condensing a Divine Dao Domain, even cultivating heart realm to the great circle of perfection realm, comprehending greater teleportation!


    Such talent was simply unheard of!


    He previously still had some doubts about Shark One''s words. But only now did he know that Shark One''s description was not exaggerated at all.


    It was even somewhat lacking.


    Because Shark One did not see the scene of Ye Yuan cutting down Han Qing Zi at all.


    Swoosh!


    In the midst of chaos, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished once more!


    Tong''s pupils constricted and actually could not sense Ye Yuan''s moving direction.


    "ARGH!!"


    In the midst of the disorderly army, a shrill and miserable cry was suddenly heard.


    The Crimson Silk Starfish''s king was directly blotted out!


    Tong was dumbfounded. He had never seen before that killing a peak Void Mystic powerhouse would be so easy!


    The eight great royal clans'' kings were all peak Void Mystic powerhouses. It was just that they did not comprehend Divine Dao laws. That was why their strength was a notch weaker.


    But these eight great royal clans'' kings, their strength could virtually already catch up to Cloudsky and Nangong Zifeng, that kind of degree.


    However, he was easily written off by Ye Yuan just like that!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared once more. In a blink of an eye, another king was killed!


    Merely 15 minutes of work from start to end, the five great royal clans'' kings all died!


    Ye Yuan was simply a killing machine!


    His figure moved. Ye Yuan appeared not far from Tong.


    "Your Majesty, this Ye still has urgent matters on hand and will take my leave first. This is considered gifting your merfolk clan a present then. In the future, Lian Qiu is my younger sister. You all have to treat her well. Otherwise, I''ll come back and settle scores!" Ye Yuan called out in a clear voice.


    Lian Qiu as Li''s disciple, she was also at the rear of the merfolk clan at this time.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, her entire body involuntarily shuddered.


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed just now was simply akin to a deity up in heaven to her!


    Lian Qiu also did not imagine that just a few simple words of reminder from her would actually obtain such care from Ye Yuan.


    But Lian Qiu was not dumb either. She knew that her life in the future would have an upheaval change!


    "Master Ye, thank you!" Lian Qiu''s face actually left behind tears.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze suddenly penetrated the crowd and looked over in Lian Qiu''s direction, giving her a smile.


    Tong''s heart went cold, and he hurriedly nodded his head and said, "Lord Ye, rest assured. Lian Qiu will be my merfolk clan''s most honorable princess in the future. Absolutely no one will dare to be disrespectful towards her!"


    Unknowingly, Tong''s term of address toward Ye Yuan underwent a change.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, figure flashing, and disappeared.


    Tong did not think that Ye Yuan actually left so urgently.


    And also did not think that he actually paid special care to Lian Qiu before leaving.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s fading back view, Tong let out a long sigh.


    "Shark One, you''ve performed exceptionally meritorious services this time! I truly didn''t expect Master Ye that you brought back was actually so monstrous!" Tong said to the Shark One beside.


    Shark One smiled good-naturedly. He also did not think that accidentally stumbling upon this time, it actually brought such a change to the merfolk clan.


    With Hei Wu''s death, the Garnersky Sea Region''s situation would undergo an upheaval change.


    The merfolk clan had never liked to lord over everyone. But now, due to Ye Yuan''s appearance, they already become the Garnersky Sea Region''s irreplaceable overlord!


    A human youth actually changed the underwater world''s situation in a blink of an eye.


    This was something that everyone did not expect from start to end.


    Want to blame, people could only blame Hei Wu himself for courting death.


    "Lian Qiu!" Tong suddenly yelled out.


    "This lowly servant is present!"


    The moment Tong heard, he could not help laughing in spite of himself.


    This lass still did not change yet, regarding herself as the identity of a maidservant.


    "Huhu, from today onwards, you mustn''t call yourself lowly servant anymore! Now, this king will acknowledge you as my god-daughter. In the future, you''re my merfolk clan''s princess!" Tong called out in a clear voice.

 1161 Whats the Point Even If I Showed Disdain on All Life Under the Heavens?

    "You! Come over! Dispel ownership of the storage ring, then get lost! Bright Moon City is under martial law, nobody is to enter!"


    Outside Bright Moon City, a Dao Profound Realm martial artist had just come out of the transmission array and was threatened like that.


    The moment that martial artist heard, he could not help flying into a great rage and said, "You all are not Bright Moon City''s people! Who the hell are you guys! You''re simply committing highway robbery here!"


    That solder sneered coldly and said, "So what if committing highway robbery? Bright Moon City is already finished! The Great Xiang Region will only have Vastsun City from now on, no Bright Moon City! See the corpses over there? Anyone who doesn''t hand over their storage rings, they will be put to death without exception!"


    Looking over in the direction that soldier pointed, that martial artist''s expression changed.


    Outside, dead bodies were sprawled all over the ground messily. Clearly, there were already quite a number of people who were killed off because of refusing to handover their storage rings.


    Looking at the soldiers guarding the transmission array, they were actually all Dao Profound Realm powerhouses without exception.


    Not far away, two black-clothed men were even sitting, drinking tea very leisurely, as if they paid no attention to this.


    This Dao Profound Realm martial artist was helpless and could only hand over his storage ring.


    "The news of Bright Moon City being sealed already spread out. The people coming to Bright Moon City now are already getting lesser and lesser. Sigh, the brothers'' side allowances also reduced significantly all at once."


    "Enough, be contented! In this half a month, we''ve already reaped no idea how much resources. Although what remained in our hands are very few, we also got quite a bit!"


    "Huhu, true! The higher-ups are still pretty good to us. With these resources, we won''t have to worry for the next five years."


    "En, it''s just that, we don''t know when that Ji Qingyun will show up!"


    "Show up? Bullsh*t! Clearly aware that this place is a huge trap, could he still dare to come and deliver himself to death?"


    "En, that might not be so! I heard that Ji Qingyun is a besotted soul. He''ll definitely come for the sake of the person he loves!"


    "Then it''s perfect. We have a big feast waiting for him here!"


    The two soldiers exchanged a glance and smiled, but their gazes flitted towards those two black-clothed men without prior consultation.


    Just what background these black-clothed men had, they were not clear either.


    They only knew that these two people were both some holy sovereigns.


    But without a doubt, these two people were characters whose strengths were formidable to the extreme.


    "En? There''s a dish delivering to the door again. Go take a look."


    At this time, light flashed, and a figure walked out from inside the transmission array.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several dozen streaks of sword energy immediately sprayed out, killing all of the surrounding Dao Profound Realm soldiers!


    At this time, the two black-clothed men casually waved their hands and directly extinguished the sword energies.


    The two drank another mouthful of tea. One of them said, "Brother, business has come knocking. Finish it off quickly!"


    After done talking, the two actually slowly stretched lazily and stood up sluggishly, showing an appearance of not putting the arrival in their sights at all.


    This arrival was naturally none other than precisely the Ye Yuan, who ran at full speed all the way!


    Along the way, he forcefully hijacked several dozens transmission arrays, crossing several dozen major regions, before reaching Bright Moon City within half a month.


    But on the way, Ye Yuan already heard of the news about Bright Moon City being destroyed.


    His heart sank to the rock-bottom.


    At this time, the berserk killing intent on Ye Yuan could not be concealed no matter what.


    "Heh heh, you''re Ji Qingyun? Truly an infatuated soul. Looks like Lord Holy Son guessed correctly. You indeed came."


    "I didn''t think that not seeing you for a couple of days, this punk already broke through to the Seventh Level Dao Profound. Fortunately, Lord Holy Son sent the two of us over. If he were to send a holy king over, it might really be incapable of suppressing him!.


    "Hahaha, brat, are you surrendering without resistance, or do you want the two of us brothers to take action?"


    "Whoa, killing intent isn''t small! Brat, stop racking your brain in vain. You aren''t our match! We, holy sovereign powerhouses, are existences comparable to peak Void Mystic!"


    The two people had disdainful looks, not taking Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    The current Ye Yuan, his disposition was poles apart from in the past, giving people a bone-piercing cold feeling.


    On the way, he heard quite a bit of news concerning Bright Moon City being destroyed. He could not differentiate whether they were rumors or truth either.


    But without a doubt, Li-er was in a very dangerous situation right now!


    Maybe ��


    Ye Yuan did not dare to carry on thinking. He was really very scared that the situation of losing his beloved would happen to him once more.


    "I''m only asking you a sentence, where is Li-er right now?" Ye Yuan asked coldly.


    Toward the two people''s attitudes, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart at all.


    He only wanted to know Li-er''s situation right, whether was she was alive or dead, or escaped �� or captured.


    "Li-er? Huhu, you''re talking about that chick from the Yue Family? Dead!"


    "Haha, don''t you worry, before long, you''ll go down and reunite together with her."


    The two people chortled with laughter, but it made Ye Yuan''s heart sink to the bottom of the valley!


    A cold and sharp killing intent virtually materialized, blanketing over towards these two holy sovereign powerhouses.


    "Haha, decent killing intent. But �� it''s no use!" said one of them as he laughed without a care.


    The two people were currently laughing when all of a sudden, their expressions became rather surprised.


    "En? This �� Such terrifying talent! Killing intent soared continuously and actually directly broke through the bottleneck!" said the other person in amazement.


    "Do it, don''t waste time anymore. This brat is indeed rather peculiar!"


    "Since that''s the case, the both of you go to hell then!"


    Ye Yuan''s icy-cold voice sounded out, his figure abruptly disappearing!


    "Greater teleportation!"


    The expressions of the two mighty holy sovereigns changed. Only now did they know that the current Ye Yuan was already not the Ye Yuan they knew.


    This one to two years'' time, Ye Yuan''s improvement speed could simply be described using terrifying.


    That whatever holy son still misjudged Ye Yuan''s strength in the end.


    "Roar!"


    Two clouds of black qi erupted. The auras of the two great holy sovereigns instantly skyrocketed.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was of no use at all!


    Swish, swish!


    A cold light flashed, heads and torsos ended up in separate places!


    Evil Extermination Sword''s sword energy directly ground the fiendish energy into shreds.


    "Fiend race again!"


    Ye Yuan''s killing intent billowed to the skies. The Slaughter Concept actually gradually advanced towards the great circle of perfection realm!


    Although Ye Yuan shattered his divine king domain, it did not mean that his supreme true intents were gone.


    The Slaughter Supreme True Intent and Scorching Supreme True Intent, Ye Yuan was still in the midst of steady progression.


    But just now, when Ye Yuan heard the news of Yue Mengli''s demise, his killing intent could not be held back anymore!


    "I truly didn''t expect that my Slaughter Concept actually attained perfection under such circumstances! Sigh �� Such a perfection, I''d rather not want it! Li-er, where on earth are you?"


    Slaughter Concept reached the great circle of perfection, but Ye Yuan''s life became bleak.


    At this time, he became despondent, his entire person like he lost his soul, becoming a walking corpse.


    The blow of Yue Mengli''s death to him was too great.


    "ARGH!!"


    Ye Yuan raised his head to the sky and gave a long howl, roaring loudly: "This villainous heaven! Do you really want to toy with me to death? If I don''t have Li-er, what''s the point even if I showed disdain on all life under the heavens!"

 1162 Bedevilment!

    Monstrous killing intent surged to the sky.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes actually became a blood-red color.


    This killing intent, even inside Bright Moon City, it could be felt clearly.


    A dense crowd of martial artists flew out from inside Bright Moon City.


    Very clearly, they were all startled by Ye Yuan''s killing intent.


    "Kill!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were scarlet. Sensing those experts who flew over, his figure vanished from sight in an instant!


    When he reappeared, there were already several figures who dropped down from the sky.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The current Ye Yuan was like a killing machine.


    Places that he passed through, not a blade of grass survived!


    Regardless whether was it the Vastsun City''s powerhouses or that mysterious Divine Martial Hall''s martial artists, not one survived!


    Ye Yuan''s killing intent virtually materialized!


    His formidable strength practically made everyone despair.


    Whatever Dao Profound Realm martial artists or Divine King powerhouses, even Void Mystic powerhouses could not last past one second under Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Seeing such an astonishing spectacle, how could those people still dare to remain?


    Arriving with a fierce and imposing momentum, fleeing in a wretched plight!


    "Don''t kill me! Ahh!"


    "Quickly run! Ji Qingyun went mad!"


    "Devil! This is a devil! Quickly run!"


    ...


    For some time, miserable cries lingered on the ears!


    The entire sky became a field of carnage.


    No matter how fast they ran, how could they be faster than Ye Yuan''s sword?


    The more he killed, the redder Ye Yuan''s eyes got.


    Gradually, he actually already lost his original heart!


    Two figures soared to the sky and actually acted in contravention, welcoming Ye Yuan.


    One of them had fiendish energy billowing into the sky. His strength was very formidable at one glance.


    "Lord Bloodrain, looks like this Ye Yuan seems to have entered bedevilment!"


    The one talking was precisely Zhou Jia.


    When he saw Ye Yuan''s appearance of crazed slaughtering, he felt the delight of rejoicing over other people''s misfortune instead.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was acquired by Ye Yuan. How could Zhou Jia not hate him?


    Bloodrain smiled lightly and said, "Looks like Lord Holy Son''s scheme is very effective! This Ji Qingyun indeed fell into madness when he heard news of the Yue Family''s lass''s demise."


    Zhou Jia hurriedly fawned as he said, "Haha, Lord Holy Son truly took every conceivable possibility into account! No matter how strong Ji Qingyun is, he''s a cripple after entering bedevilment too! Hahaha �� Kill, kill away! The more you kill, the deeper you''ll lose yourself. We prepared sufficient baits for you. When you kill finish, you''ll become a walking corpse that only knows slaughter!"


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Bloodrain''s mouth, looking towards Ye Yuan rather interestedly.


    Puchi!


    A streak of bloodlight flashed past. The first person to escape back was directly killed by Bloodrain.


    "Deserters in the battlefield, die!" Bloodrain''s cold voice sounded out, making everyone''s heart turn cold.


    "He''s only one person. Everybody attack, kill him! This is your only way out!" Bloodrain said coldly.


    Everyone''s heart turned cold. Front and back, both were death!


    Lord Bloodrain''s strength, they were very clear.


    While over there, it was just Ye Yuan alone!


    In an instant, everyone''s eyes turned red. Countless figures charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    However, all of the struggles were futile.


    Under Ye Yuan''s hands, they did not have the least bit of strength to retaliate!


    Zhou Jia was still watching Ye Yuan kill people with a broad grin. But to the back, the expression on his face became increasingly solemn.


    Ye Yuan was too strong!


    "This �� Just how long has it been? How can his strength be terrifying to such a degree?" Zhou Jia''s complexion was white as a sheet as he said in shock.


    Bloodrain swept a glance over him and said with a cold smile, "What? Scared?"


    Zhou Jia was startled inwardly, his expression ugly as he said, "H-How can that be possible?"


    Swish!


    Just as they were talking, a streak of terrifying sword energy whistled past, directly slaughtering a large swathe.


    Force wind swept past, scaring Zhou Jia until he shuddered.


    Zhou Jia looked at Ye Yuan with incomparable terror and alarm. He seriously could not figure out how that youth could grow to such an extent.


    "Relax. With me around, he can''t hurt you!" Bloodrain said fully confident.


    Actually, he looked down on Zhou Jia from the bottom of his heart. It was just that he still had some use right now. That was why he did not kill him.


    Only when he heard Bloodrain''s words did Zhou Jia loosen up considerably.


    ...


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, it was long in utter disarray already.


    "M-Milord entered bedevilment! At this rate, Milord will thoroughly lose himself!" Ao Qian said incredibly worriedly.


    "What to do here? Without Milord''s permission, we can''t go out at all!" Jiang Taicang also had a panicked look.


    Lu-er did not speak by the side. But the worried expression on her face betrayed her.


    "Oh, right, Elder Teng! Elder Teng is the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s artifact spirit! He must have a way!" Ao Qian suddenly thought of something and shouted.


    Right at this time, Long Teng''s figure materialized.


    The moment he came out, everyone crowded over.


    "Elder Teng, quickly think of a way!"


    "Yeah, Elder Teng, hurry and think of a way. At this rate, His Excellency will be a goner!"


    Everyone clamored to speak, all burning with anxiety.


    Long Teng waved his hand and said, "You guys can''t go out now! He''ll kill you guys together! Moreover, even if you all go out, it''s useless too!"


    "Then �� Then what should we do?" Jiang Taicang said anxiously.


    Long Teng''s gaze turned towards Lu-er. Then, everyone''s gazes looked towards her.


    "Lu-er?"


    "That''s right! Apart from her, nobody can save Ye Yuan here! Only she can stir up the soft spot in the deepest part of Ye Yuan''s soul! However �� there''s a possibility of failure too! And the price of failure is death! At that time, not only will Lu-er, you, die, Ye Yuan will utterly enter bedevilment too, never to awaken again! Lu-er, are you �� willing to give it a try?" Long Teng said with a serious expression.


    Clearly, he was also not very confident.


    But, the matters between Ye Yuan and Lu-er, he was still aware.


    Ye Yuan walking from the Endless World until now, if talking about who was the person he was closest to, it had to be Lu-er!


    Only the person that he was closest to could rouse Ye Yuan, who currently entered bedevilment.


    The moment Lu-er heard, she said without hesitation, "Grandpa Long Teng, let me out then! Even if I die under Young Master''s sword, I''ll have no regrets too!"


    Long Teng let out a sigh and said with a nod, "Alright, but right now �� isn''t the time yet!"


    ...


    The Ye Yuan with two bloodshot eyes finally detected Zhou Jia this existence!


    The moment his two eyes turned back, Zhou Jia''s entire person almost shrunk, as if there was a feeling of being stared at by the god of death!


    When Bloodrain saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure instantly vanished from sight!


    Greater teleportation!


    However, Bloodrain captured Ye Yuan''s trail!


    Boom!


    An intense collision. It actually directly blasted Ye Yuan back.


    However, Ye Yuan was not discouraged. Instead, he seemed to become even more berserk.


    His target was Zhou Jia!


    Because in his subconscious, Zhou Jia should know Li-er''s whereabouts.


    Regardless of whether alive or dead!


    Even though Ye Yuan entered bedevilment, his combat instincts were still there.


    Bloodrain''s strength was indeed formidable. It was even a notch above Han Qing Zi!


    But this time, Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword opened up!


    Chiii!


    A rain of blood scattered everywhere!


    The insufferably arrogant Bloodrain was actually killed in one exchange!

 1163 Only Oneself to Blame

    Pffft ��


    Blood splattered, splashing all over Zhou Jia''s face.


    The scalding hot blood made his entire person tremble, abruptly startling awake.


    His eyes became round circles. Up until now, he still did not dare to believe everything that he saw in front of him.


    Someone as powerful as Bloodrain was finished off in one exchange?


    They were clearly still gloating over others'' misfortune earlier. Bloodrain even said that there was no problem with him around.


    But, what kind of situation was this right now?


    "Li-er! Where''s Li-er!"


    Ye Yuan''s icy-cold voice bored into his ears, making Zhou Jia shudder once again.


    It was not long before, he thought that he could finally let Vastsun City lord over a region when he broke through to Void Mystic.


    Currently, in front of Ye Yuan, he was still weak like a toddler learning how to walk.


    Swoosh!


    Zhou Jia only hesitated slightly, and Ye Yuan suddenly disappeared.


    He had yet to react to what was happening when fresh blood sprayed everywhere on Bright Moon City''s walls!


    "ARGH!!"


    A miserable cry sounded over.


    With Bloodrain''s death, everyone scattered and fled in all directions.


    When Zhou Jia came back to his senses, all the hairs on his body stood on its end.


    "Yan-er!" Zhou Jia felt like his entire body was sapped dry as he shouted at the top of his voice.


    That person observing the situation far away over at this side on the city wall, was precisely his son, Zhou Yan; he was a Divine Realm heaven''s pride who had once tramped Ye Yuan underfoot!


    But now, he finally died under Ye Yuan''s sword.


    Zhou Yan thought that he hid very well. But under Ye Yuan''s perception, everything in the surrounding was laid completely bare.


    And Ye Yuan was just a killing machine right now. He completely only relied on instinct when doing things.


    His final trace of reason told him that Zhou Jia was the instigator of this war and should know Li-er''s whereabouts.


    Maybe, Li-er was not dead yet.


    But these were all thoughts in his subconscious.


    Hence, he instinctively killed Zhou Yan. He thought that this way, it could make Zhou Jia feel afraid and tell the truth, but he completely did not know Zhou Yan and Zhou Jia''s relationship.


    In the eyes of the current Ye Yuan, Zhou Yan was just an ant.


    An ant that was casually trampled to death!


    Back then, when Zhou Yan descended upon the Endless World, he kept on saying that Ye Yuan was just an ant.


    At that time, he definitely did not imagine that he would be trampled to death like an ant by Ye Yuan today.


    As casually as that.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was completely clueless. His figure moved, returning in front of Zhou Jia again.


    "Tell me, where''s Li-er!" Ye Yuan asked icily again.


    "Li-er? You say Li-er? Hahahaha! That slut didn''t know how to appreciate favors and is already deader than dead! Yan-er was deeply in love with her, but she actually remained completely unmoved! Before dying, she was even ��"


    Zhou Jia''s voice abruptly cut off. He was no longer able to talk.


    With Zhou Yan''s death, Zhou Jia did not want to live on anymore. He fell completely into madness.


    Since Ye Yuan already fallen into depravity, then let him thoroughly enter bedevilment!


    Zhou Jia knew that the words out of his mouth would be the final straw that crushed Ye Yuan!


    From henceforth, that genius Ji Qingyun would be utterly reduced to a killing machine.


    In fact, he wanted to be even more bloody and bloodthirsty than the fiend race.


    On his deathbed, a hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of Zhou Jia''s mouth. That was the smile of a treacherous scheme prevailing!


    "ARGHHH!"


    Berserk killing intent practically condensed into a physical entity. It was akin to an enormous storm, billowing into the sky.


    Ye Yuan was currently thoroughly sinking into becoming a devil!


    At this time, a green silhouette appeared.


    "Young Master!" Lu-er''s voice exuded thick concern.


    Ye Yuan abruptly turned his head back, his eyes filled with icy-cold killing intent!


    Those scarlet-red eyes, Lu-er was too unfamiliar.


    This �� Was this still that gentle and caring Young Master?


    "Young Master! Wake up, Young Master!" Lu-er said with tears in her eyes.


    Facing Lu-er, Ye Yuan actually had a rare moment of not directly exterminating!


    He was currently on the critical point of bedevilment. He was still hanging onto that last trace of reason in the depths of his heart.


    Lu-er was the kin that Ye Yuan cared the most for all along.


    Protecting her was virtually Ye Yuan''s instinct.


    Hence, he did not make a move.


    But the virtually materialized killing intent made Lu-er practically unable to breathe.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared. But the next instant, the Evil Extermination Sword stopped at Lu-er''s neck.


    Drip!


    A drop of fresh blood flowed out of Lu-er''s fair skin, flowing down along the Evil Extermination Sword.


    On Ye Yuan''s savage face, a look of struggle actually surfaced.


    Very clearly, his instinct was currently battling with his mental demon.


    If the Evil Extermination Sword went another inch forward, Lu-er would die!


    Time slowly trickled by, as if it had frozen.


    But Lu-er''s face did not show a hint of a change in countenance.


    From start to end, her gaze never left Ye Yuan''s face.


    She trusted Ye Yuan. She believed that Ye Yuan would not kill her.


    Even if Ye Yuan fell into deprivation!


    "Young Master, I''m Lu-er!"


    "Young Master, did you forget that you taught Lu-er the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul?"


    "Young Master, have you forgotten that back then, in order to save Lu-er, you killed Lin Tiancheng and challenged the Nine Heavens Road?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan reminisced the past in detail, looking into it to call back reason.


    The dainty neck and the Evil Extermination Sword rubbed non-stop. More and more blood flowed out.


    But she was seemingly oblivious.


    "Young Master, why are you so foolish! Ambushing the Bright Moon City, their target is definitely you! If they really caught Big Sister Li-er, how can they possibly not make use of her to deal with you? You didn''t see Big Sister Li-er with your own eyes, so how can you determine that she died? If she''s fine, but you fell into depravity, wouldn''t she be heartbroken?"


    "Young Master, the people who care about you isn''t just Big Sister Li-er either. Me, Grandpa Long Teng, Ao Qian, Jiang Taicang �� each one of us cares for you very much. You �� can''t let yourself to fall into depravity unchecked!"


    ...


    One sentence after another, they impacted Ye Yuan''s heart.


    The instinct of slaughter and his consciousness was undergoing an intense struggle.


    Gradually, that surging killing intent finally lessened gradually.


    While Ye Yuan''s scarlet-red two eyes also gradually faded away.


    "L-Lu-er?" Ye Yuan called out dryly.


    When Lu-er saw that Young Master finally regained his senses, tears flooded out.


    "Y-Young Master, you �� you finally woke up!"


    "I �� What happened to me just now?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that his sword was actually pressed against Lu-er''s throat.


    Lu-er''s throat was already stabbed by his sword until fresh blood flowed steadily.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    His entire body trembled, finally thoroughly regaining consciousness.


    "Young Master, you �� just now, you ��"


    Lu-er''s words had yet to finish saying when her eyes rolled back, her entire person toppling over weakly.


    Ye Yuan was alarmed and hurriedly supported Lu-er.


    Lu-er''s distance from Ye Yuan was merely the distance of a sword.


    Ye Yuan''s great circle of perfection Slaughter Concept, Lu-er practically withstood it completely.


    This degree of Slaughter Concept, even if Divine King powerhouses were situated inside, they might not be able to withstand it either.


    Sensing the piercingly cold killing intent from such a close distance, how could Lu-er be able to withstand it?


    Up until now, she completed relied on a strand of willpower to forcefully hold on. If not for Young Master, she would have long crumbled.

 1164 No Regrets

    "This �� This was all done by me?"


    Ye Yuan looked at the dead bodies all over the ground outside the city, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    All the martial artists in the city were actually massacred clean by him alone!


    The current Bright Moon City was already a ghost city, without even a soul, looking incomparably spooky.


    "When you heard from those two people about the news regarding Li-er, your heart suffered an impact all at once. You suddenly went insane. By the time we came to our senses, it was already too late to stop it," Ao Qian said with lingering fear in his heart.


    "Yeah! Milord, you were like a killing god before! The other party had a major power who was finished off by you in one exchange! You really don''t know how harrowing you were!"


    Recalling the scene of finishing Bloodrain off, Jiang Taicang was similarly incredibly alarmed.


    His Excellency, who almost fell into depravity, was simply too terrifying.


    He even suspected that once they showed face back then, they would most likely be instantly one-shotted!


    Lightly stroking Lu-er''s long hair, Ye Yuan was filled with self-blame in his heart.


    "Sigh, looks like my heart realm is still not perfected! If I really took action against Lu-er today, I''d really find it hard to absolve myself from the blame." Ye Yuan was endlessly remorseful in his heart.


    Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan and had a look of tenderness too as he sighed and said, "I can''t blame you for this matter either! You had once experienced the pain of losing your loved ones. I didn''t expect that such an accident would happen again now. Suddenly hearing about the grievous news, nobody is able to withstand this kind of psychological impact too."


    Ye Yuan fell silent. After a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Senior, do you think �� Li-er she ��"


    Even if he already recovered now, Ye Yuan still did not dare to go and think about this matter.


    He lost himself in concern. Because he cared too much about Li-er, his heart was weighed down with worry along the way.


    Suddenly hearing Li-er''s grievous news, Ye Yuan''s heart suffered a tremendous impact. That was why he lost control for a moment and almost fell into depravity.


    This scheme of the holy son''s was insidious and viscous.


    Even someone as strong as Ye Yuan nearly succumbed too.


    But Li-er''s death became an unresolved case presently.


    This group of people''s strength was very powerful. That Bloodrain''s strength was even a little stronger than Han Qing Zi.


    Whether or not Li-er was still alive, Ye Yuan was really rather uncertain.


    When Long Teng heard that, he said, "I know what you''re thinking about. But �� it hasn''t reached the point where all hope is lost yet! As long as there''s a spark of hope, we can''t give up, isn''t it so? At least this time, we didn''t see Li-er. This is perhaps good news. You''re also aware, Li-er''s Innate Battle Soul Physique is extremely powerful. Perhaps she really had the chance to escape with her life?"


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh when he heard that and said, "Right now, I can only think like this! It''s just that �� Vastsun City actually dared to do such a resolute thing. From henceforth, they have no need to continue existing anymore either!"


    Talking to the back, Ye Yuan''s tone seethed with killing intent.


    Killing the Zhou father and son, not only did Ye Yuan not regret it in the slightest, he was actually invigorated instead.


    Even though Vastsun City was not the main culprit for Bright Moon''s unexpected turn of events this time, they helped the wicked by perpetuating wicked deeds. Ye Yuan naturally would not let them off.


    Especially Zhou Jia, the words that he said previously on his deathbed, the motive was even more apparent!


    This bunch of fellows was clearly baiting him into depravity!


    "Y-Young Master, are you alright?"


    At this time, the Lu-er in Ye Yuan''s embrace slowly woke up. But who she was concerned about right away was Ye Yuan.


    In her eyes, her young master''s life was much more important compared to hers.


    Ye Yuan was full of tender care as he said, "Of course I''m fine! All thanks to my Lu-er. Otherwise, this young master would have sunk into deprivation for all of eternity!"


    The moment Lu-er heard, she could not help weeping from extreme joy and said sobbingly, "T-That''s great! Young Master, you �� really frightened Lu-er badly today!"


    Lu-er''s display of true feelings made Ye Yuan blame himself even more. He sighed and said, "Silly girl! Do you know that I nearly killed you today?"


    But Lu-er cried while smiling as she said, "I know that Young Master dotes on Lu-er the most. Even if you really fell into depravity, you definitely won''t kill Lu-er too! Even if �� you really killed Lu-er, Lu-er have no regrets too! This life of Lu-er''s was given by Young Master!"


    Hearing Lu-er''s words, Ye Yuan was visibly moved.


    Between him and Lu-er, there was already no need to use any words to prove anything.


    Their relationship was even closer than family.


    "Silly girl!" Ye Yuan pulled her a little tighter into his embrace.


    ...


    In the Beiling Region, situated in the north-west direction of the Great Xiang Region.


    At this time, in a desolate plain of the Beiling Region. Over ten figures surrounded a beautiful woman.


    "Haha, Yue Family''s lass, with this, you can''t run anymore, right? Surrender obediently without putting up resistance!" The one talking was precisely Sun Man.


    And the beautiful woman surrounded by them in the center was naturally Yue Mengli!


    Speaking of the Bright Moon City great battle back then, it was also Yue Mengli who acted fast when the opportunity arose, bringing the Yue Family''s members to break out of the encirclement.


    At that time, Sun Man thought that he had cornered Yue Mengli.


    Who knew that Yue Mengli''s strength was unexpectedly powerful, and she actually tangled up in a struggle with him!


    Especially that battle soul behind her. It was incredibly troublesome.


    Ever since awakening the Innate Battle Soul Physique, Yue Mengli''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Not long ago, she broke through to the Divine King Realm.


    And at this time, the might of her battle soul finally erupted!


    She who had just entered the Divine King Realm actually fought to a draw with Sun Man.


    Yue Mengli protected the Yue family members, fighting as they retreated, withdrawing from Bright Moon City.


    Of course, during this process, it was naturally unavoidable for the Yue Family to suffer heavy casualties.


    Fortunately, there was a Void Mystic Realm Wu Luo. That was how they barely managed to ensure the Yue family members'' safety.


    Speaking of which, it was also thanks to the Medicine King Hall that misjudged Yue Mengli''s strength, thinking that by sending only Sun Man over, he could take her down completely.


    They completely did not expect that Yue Mengli''s strength was actually so great!


    When Bloodrain rushed to the Bright Moon City, he had to hold down the fort and await Ye Yuan''s arrival as well.


    As a result, that was how Yue Mengli could run until now.


    On the way, Yue Mengli discovered that their target was actually her. Hence, she had Wu Luo escort everyone to flee in the direction of the Demon Region, while she lured away Sun Man, this expert.


    Sun Man''s strength, after experiencing the Holy Mother Devil Flower''s devilfication, already increased substantially.


    And these people that he brought over, were all void mystic powerhouses without any exceptions.


    In his eyes, Yue Mengli was already a turtle in a jar.


    In order to take care of the Yue Family''s members, Yue Mengli was already covered in wounds.


    It seemed like at this moment, she indeed did not have any strength to retaliate already.


    Yue Mengli gave Sun Man a glance and retorted with a question, "You all schemed so laboriously, it''s in order to deal with Big Brother Yuan, right?"


    "Heh, that is, of course! You, are that Ji Qingyun''s life! Grasping you in our hands, it will naturally break his destiny! The child of destiny will also no longer exist! However �� perhaps he has already thoroughly entered bedevilment at this time! Hahaha ��"


    Talking about what he was pleased with, Sun Man could not help letting out a roaring laugh.


    Yue Mengli''s brows knitted. She sucked in a deep breath and said, "Alright, since that''s the case, I can send you all on the way already!"


    Sun Man froze, then immediately burst into laughter and said, "Send us on our way? Hahaha ��"


    Boom!


    Yue Mengli''s battle soul suddenly condensed and formed, but it made Sun Man''s expression changed greatly!


    This battle soul''s aura was actually several times more powerful compared to when they exchanged blows previously!The son of heaven''s mandate uses the same characters as the child of destiny. Normally, I''ll stick with child of destiny all the way. The reason why I chose the son of heaven''s mandate is that I feel that it''s more poetic, and it references a major secret of the world which is revealed several hundred chaps later better.

 1165 Charging up to the Medicine King Hall Alone!

    Above the sky of Vastsun City, Ye Yuan stood in the air.


    Looking at the city below, the Zhou Family was already utterly annihilated.


    This time, the Zhou Family''s actions and conduct touched Ye Yuan''s reverse scale.


    Therefore, the Zhou Family naturally had no reason to exist anymore.


    "Young Master, for the next step, what do you plan on doing?" Behind Ye Yuan, Lu-er seemed rather worried.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said loftily, "It''s been over 20 years! It''s time that I settle all the scores!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone alarmed in their hearts.


    The long awaited day finally had come.


    "Ao Qian!"


    "Your subordinate is present!"


    "I''ll entrust everyone here to you! Bring them all back, go the dragon clan, and await my news."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s faces change drastically!


    Lu-er said anxiously, "Young Master, I want to go together with you!"


    Ao Qian said, "Milord, you aren''t planning on �� going to the Medicine King Hall alone, right? This �� This is also too reckless!"


    "Yeah, Milord. That Medicine King Hall might be the fiend race''s lair. It''s too dangerous for you to go alone!" Jiang Taicang said.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "No matter how many people they have, it''s meaningless to me too. If you all go, I''d need to divert attention to take care of you all instead."


    Ye Yuan''s words, they made everyone''s faces incomparably ugly.


    Messing around for half a day, Ye Yuan was actually complaining about them being a hindrance.


    Especially Ao Qian. He, a former dragon clan''s strongest expert, could not poke his nose into this matter either.


    This result made him very embarrassed.


    But thinking about it, numbers indeed already did not have too great of a significance to the current Ye Yuan.


    His Domain of Sword did not even need him to trigger it, and nobody could approach within a 20 feet radius of him.


    "A-Alright! Young Master, then you need to be careful!" Lu-er said worriedly.


    "Relax, after I kill Ji Canglan, I''ll go to the dragon clan and rendezvous with you all," Ye Yuan said.


    Watching everyone vanish in the transmission array, killing intent gradually thickened on Ye Yuan''s face.


    Old grudge yet to be resolved, new enmity was added again!


    Jia Canglan was truly unscrupulous and stopped at nothing.


    Bright Moon City''s sudden turn of events made the monstrous killing intent Ye Yuan had toward Ji Canglan unable to be contained anymore.


    ...


    Several days later, at Bright Moon City, a pretty figure appeared. It was precisely Yue Mengli.


    Looking at the Bright Moon City is utter dilapidation as well as the corpses sprawled all over the ground, Yue Mengli''s brows knitted together.


    "Looks like Big Brother Yuan already came by!"


    She was very certain that this was done by Ye Yuan. It was just that such a ghastly sight made Yue Mengli alarmed and on tenterhooks.


    Yue Mengli''s figure moved, vanishing from where she was.


    ...


    The present Medicine King Hall exuded a strange atmosphere everywhere.


    In a hidden pavilion, covered densely in array formations, a large vat was placed in the middle.


    Diagrams all around, extremely complex array formations were set up.


    Looking closely, the large vat was actually filled to the brim with blood, looking sanguinary and horrifying.


    At this time, a black-robed man actually spoke to the blood vat.


    "Bright Moon City''s matters are already settled. Even though there was some minor interlude, Ji Qingyun finally still fell into depravity!" said the black-robed man.


    At this time, a voice actually came out from inside the blood vat.


    "This matter, you did very well! With the son of heaven''s mandate falling into depravity, nobody is capable of stopping my fiend race anymore!"


    The voice inside the blood vat was clearly very happy and even had a feeling of being fired up with boundless enthusiasm.


    The black-robed man said, "It''s just that I didn''t think that even Bloodrain died at his hands! The son of heaven''s mandate indeed lives up to the reputation. His improvement speed is too astonishing."


    "That is, of course. This seat has fought with several generations of Sons of Heaven''s Mandate. Which one isn''t a character that startled the heavens and shook the earth? This seat has such means and even tumbled with a big fall. I still haven''t recovered all the way until today."


    "It''s just �� Sun Man''s side hasn''t sent over any news yet. I''m a little worried."


    "With the son of heaven''s mandate falling into depravity, the overall situation is decided. Just a little lass, there''s no big deal. How are the preparations for the Bloodsoul Beads?"


    The black-robed man said, "Already fully prepared. There are a total of 58 thousand beads. I already sent Bloodevil to bring people to the Divine Martial Hall. He''ll be reaching within the next few days."


    Bloodsoul Bead was precisely the thing that was refined in the Endless World back then.


    The Endless World and Fierce Gale World, two worlds'' martial artists had casualties numbering in the hundreds of millions before condensing just one!


    For over 58 thousand beads, one truly no idea how many were plunged into misery and suffering.


    "En, you did very well. This seat''s painstaking efforts to groom you back then were not in vain," said the Divine Master.


    The black-robed man bowed and said, "Divine Master is too kind. You''re a paramount existence. Serving you is part of Mo Lan''s duty."


    "Haha, this seat sealed your divine soul inside the soul of a human with the soul extraction method. Only then did it was hidden from the eyes and ears of the human race''s powerhouses. It''s just that my only concern was that your consciousness would be corroded by the human soul. Looking at it now, this seat''s worries �� was unnecessary," Divine Master said with a laugh.


    Turned out that Ji Canglan''s original name was actually called Mo Lan


    And the Divine Master''s magical ability was truly so mysterious that even gods and spirits could not predict it.


    It was just that this sort of approach was truly too cruel.


    Ji Canglan said respectfully, "Lord Divine Master is too kind. Mo Lan is forever your most loyal subject!"


    "En, you''re not a subject. You''re the holy son that this seat decided on! Beneath one person, and above millions! As long as you put your heart and soul into working for this seat, in the future, this Divine Realm will definitely fall on you!" Divine Master said.


    "Yes, Lord Divine Master!" The lofty and unyielding Ji Canglan was actually incomparably respectful at this time.


    "Ji �� Cang �� Lan!"


    Right at this time, a thunderous voice permeated throughout the entire Medicine King Hall.


    Ji Canglan was startled inwardly. This voice, he was really familiar with it!


    Ji Qingyun!


    But didn''t Ji Qingyun already fall into depravity?


    "En? It''s the aura of the son of heaven''s mandate! Mo Lan, shouldn''t you �� give me an explanation?"


    Divine Master clearly already recognized this arrival''s aura and suddenly became extremely enraged.


    That vat of blood actually started boiling. It was as if it was currently displaying Divine Master''s fury.


    Ji Canglan''s expression changed, and he said, "This �� This is impossible! The people who fled back from Bright Moon City said that Ji Qingyun clearly already fell into depravity. How can he possibly find this place? In order to determine the truth, I even specially did a soulsearch! Could it be �� Could it be that he relied on his slaughter instincts and found this place? Yes, it must be like this!"


    "Humph! Regardless of what kind of situation it is, settle this matter yourself! This seat has already arrived at the final juncture of breaking through and have no time to divert attention. This mess, you settle it yourself!" Divine Master''s voice became icy-cold.


    "Yes, Lord Divine Master! For the sake of dealing with the son of heaven''s mandate, Mo Lan prepared many contingency plans. This time, Mo Lan will definitely resolve this hidden danger thoroughly!" Ji Canglan said deferentially.


    "Humph! Go!"


    Divine Master''s stern voice sounded out. The color of that vat of blood gradually faded away and actually became a vat of clear water.


    After Divine Master''s voice disappeared, Ji Canglan said coldly, "Ji Qingyun, you''re really an unkillable cockroach! I want to see if you''re really unkillable!"

 1166 Tenacious Life

    "Who''s this person? To actually dare be so arrogant at our Medicine King Hall?"


    "Don''t recognize. This person is so unfamiliar! Merely Seventh Level Dao Profound Realm, he actually dared to drop in and shout the hall master''s name. Isn''t this courting death?"


    "Fool! That''s Ji Qingyun! He �� came back!"


    "Ji �� Ji Qingyun? He''s that Ji Qingyun who seized possession and revived?"


    "Heh heh, this idiot actually dares to come to the Medicine King Hall alone. Truly seeking death!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s yell made the entire Medicine King Hall seethe with excitement.


    Too arrogant!


    Too overbearing!


    Too �� stupid!


    A Seventh Level Dao Profound martial artist actually dared to come to the Medicine King Hall to act wildly?


    Seizing possession and reviving, his head also spoiled, right?


    Sweeping a glance over, Ye Yuan''s eyes revealed a complicated expression too.


    Different things and different people!


    The present Medicine King Hall no longer had its former glory.


    Looking at a glance, there were scenes of desolation everywhere. It was akin to two different places from its prime.


    Many people''s faces seemed to be familiar, but they were already not them!


    The terror of the fiend race lied in their devilfication abilities.


    Once devilfied, they would become the fiend master''s loyal lackeys, no longer able to betray the fiend master, all the way until death.


    Some special attributes of the fiend race, Ye Yuan got to know quite a bit out of Skydistant''s mouth.


    The fiend race was a terrifying race. One could say: not even a prairie fire could burn out the grass, growing again when the spring breeze blew!


    As long as they did not die, they would assimilate the other races without any scruples.


    But to the human race, exterminating fiend emperor could be easily accomplished.


    But once the fiend race reached the Deity Realm, they virtually possessed undying bodies!


    Wanting to kill then was extremely, extremely difficult!


    Daoist Absolute Heaven''s strength was exceedingly great and was still unable to thoroughly eradicate the two great heavenly fiendgods, and could only suppress them.


    One could say that once the fiend race metamorphosed to the Deity Realm, they were practically undying existences!


    These former Medicine King Hall disciples in front of him already became fiend slaves now.


    Fiend slaves had their own individual consciousness and were able to cultivate themselves. But they were submissive towards their masters from the bottom of their hearts.


    Putting it bluntly, it was slave nature!


    Ye Yuan''s perception was exceedingly powerful. Inside the current Medicine King Hall, there were quite a few extremely powerful existences.


    Except, to the current Ye Yuan, he did not place them in his sights.


    "Hahaha, Ji Qingyun, you came right on time! Since you came, stay behind then!"


    A peak divine king powerhouse soared to the sky and welcomed Ye Yuan.


    But this peak divine king powerhouse, Ye Yuan knew him. He was formerly the Medicine King Hall''s guest elder, Ma Youdao.


    It was just that now, this Ma Youdao was clearly already devilfied.


    Previous life, Ye Yuan''s relationship with this Ma Youdao was still pretty good.


    Ma Youdao''s talent was ordinary. Being able to break through to peak divine king was actually due to Ye Yuan.


    Ma Youdao watched Ye Yuan grow up since young and doted on him like his own family''s junior.


    But sadly ��


    "Back down, Ma Youdao, I''m not killing you! This young master is here today only to kill Ji Canglan!" Looking at Ma Youdao, Ye Yuan had complicated feelings.


    Although Ye Yuan could be said to kill people without batting an eyelid, towards people who were kind to him, he could not quite deal the blow.


    Even though he knew that this person was already long devilfied.


    Ye Yuan''s strength, only the Medicine King Hall''s upper echelons knew. Mao Youdao had always stayed in the Medicine King Hall, so he did not understand at all.


    What he had in mind right now was capturing Ye Yuan and taking credit for it from his master!


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was merely a Seventh Level Dao Profound little rookie.


    "Haha, kill me? Did you guys hear that? This boy is just Seventh Level Dao Profound, and he actually said that he wants to kill me!"


    Mao Youdao''s words made everyone snicker with laughter.


    "Hahaha, this brat wasn''t so funny back then! A Seventh Level Dao Profound dealing with a peak divine king? Is he joking?"


    "Maybe he''s still immersed in the environment of the past life''s young master, and think that we''ll pull our punches against him!"


    "Ma Youdao, stop talking nonsense with this brat. This contribution, you can have it. Quickly take him down."


    ...


    Ma Youdao said delightedly, "Ji Qingyun, I didn''t expect that after you seized possession and revived, you actually became so rampant and conceited. I, Ma Youdao, want to take a look today at how you''re going to kill me."


    Mao Youdao let out a loud laugh and suddenly released a palm toward Ye Yuan.


    Puchi!


    The palm with a huge ruckus directly dissipated into nothing 20 feet in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ma Youdao''s expression changed. Everyone''s faces changed drastically!


    This �� What kind of situation was this?


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Fine then, it was me who was flattering myself."


    Ma Youdao was dazed and still had not understood what was going on when he felt it go black before his eyes, directly fainting away.


    Ye Yuan''s palm shoved lightly, sending Ma Youdao onto a terrace on the mountainside, but did not kill him.


    Ye Yuan could not deal the blow.


    "This �� What on earth happened just now? Ma Youdao''s palm actually extinguished bafflingly!"


    "Yeah. Didn''t see Ji Qingyun make a move at all. There isn''t even the slightest hint of essence energy undulation!"


    "Could it be that Ma Youdao himself tripped and stumbled? But this isn''t possible, right?"


    "It''s not right, this Ji Qingyun seems to be a bit odd!"


    ...


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan had just taken care of Ma Youdao when over ten figures soared into the air again.


    Sweeping a glance over, these people were all once Ye Yuan''s elders!


    Although their strength and status were far inferior compared Ye Yuan, without exception, they all watched Ye Yuan grow up.


    Furthermore, their relationship with Ye Yuan was even really not bad.


    Seeing this scene, how could Ye Yuan still not understand what was happening?


    This Ji Canglan was truly shameless to the extreme. He actually thought of using this kind of trick to make him wary in taking action.


    But would it be that simple?


    Buzz!


    Ye Yuan''s soul force gushed out, directly attacking these dozen over figures'' sea of consciousness.


    Divine soul attack!


    With Ye Yuan''s present divine soul realm, carrying out divine soul attacks against these people, they did not have strength leftover to resist at all.


    "Ji Canglan, stop scheming in vain! It''s no use! I''ll give you one last chance, come out and accept the challenge!" Ye Yuan called out in a clear voice.


    A black silhouette slowly walked out of the Medicine King Hall. Looking at Ye Yuan, he frowned and said, "You actually didn''t fall into depravity? Those people who fled back from Bright Moon City clearly all said that they saw you fall into depravity!"


    The probing earlier made him finally realize that Ye Yuan did not fall into depravity.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You seem to be very disappointed? For my sake, you really went through great pains!"


    One had to admit that Ye Yuan really almost succumbed to it by a narrow margin.


    If without Lu-er, Ye Yuan would have long fallen into depravity at this time already.


    "The son of heaven''s mandate is indeed troublesome! Now, I finally somewhat understand why Lord Divine Master wanted to employ any means possible to eliminate you," Ji Canglan also sighed slightly and said.


    Several hundred years of lying low, Ji Canglan was naturally filled with vicissitude of emotions.


    He, Mo Lan, could be said to be born for Ye Yuan''s sake.


    However, he lurked for several hundred years and was still unable to kill Ye Yuan.


    For Ye Yuan''s sake, he truly cudgeled his brain, but he just could not kill him.


    Ye Yuan''s life was seriously too tenacious!

 1167 Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation

    Seeing Ji Canglan, Ye Yuan''s killing intent could not be concealed anymore.


    He looked at Ji Canglan and said coldly, "I''m only asking you, just how is Li-er right now?"


    Ji Canglan smiled and said, "How else can she be? Don''t you already know? Do you think that I''d let her off? Huhu, the son of heaven''s mandate is destined to be lonely!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent. Killing intent surged to the skies!


    Ji Canglan smiled faintly when he saw the situation and said, "Looks like you hate me very much? But �� your opponent isn''t me. Since you came, I, your senior brother, naturally have to arrange a big feast for you!"


    Whoosh ��


    Before Ye Yuan''s eyes, a hundred figures suddenly appeared.


    Each and every one of these people all surged with fiendish energy.


    Even Ma Youdao and those people knocked unconscious by him previously, all of them woke up too, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.


    "Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation, you know it," Ji Canglan said with a faint smile.


    Ye Yuan''s face darkened, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "You deserve death!"


    This Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation was precisely a divine rank sword formation that Ji Zhengyang obtained at Godfalls Mountain Range.


    Back then, Ji Zhengyang paid a tremendous price and invited Lu Linfeng to take action. It was a grand array specially forged for the Medicine King Hall.


    Lu Linfeng was naturally unable to bring out this Divine Dao array formation. But he comprehended this set of array formation and modified this set of array formation to become a quasi-divine rank grand array!


    This set of sword formation, as long as the people who took part in the sword formation were sufficiently strong, they could virtually contend with the Ten Great Divine Kings class of powerhouses!


    Wanting to utilize this set of Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation to the limits required three peak void mystic powerhouses, nine middle-stage void mystic powerhouses, 18 initial-stage void mystic powerhouses, as well as 81 peak divine king powerhouses!


    Even though Lu Linfeng helped the Medicine King Hall to simplify this set of array formation, with the Medicine King Hall''s strength, they could not form this set of sword formation at all.


    Previous life, the Medicine King Hall did not have so many powerhouses at all. They could only simplify it once more.


    But now, these powerhouses in front of Ye Yuan pooled this set of sword formation together!


    "Huhu, in order to deal with you, I forcefully used secret arts to increase the cultivation realms of your former old friends. Now, the Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation is already gathered, only waiting for you to come and enjoy it," Ji Canglan said with a big laugh.


    Most importantly, these powerhouses in front of Ye Yuan were all the Medicine King Hall''s backbone in the past.


    These people, Ye Yuan had gotten along with them for several hundred years and was all too familiar!


    "My good junior brother, I know that you''re especially softhearted towards friends, so as the senior brother, I carefully prepared this set of sword formation for you. In a while, you have got to show some leniency when you attack. Don''t hurt them! Hahaha!" Ji Canglan laughed very smugly.


    He had lived with Ye Yuan for several hundred years and was all too clear about Ye Yuan''s temperament and weaknesses.


    Including Bright Moon City''s sudden turn of events, Ji Canglan also made use of Ye Yuan''s this sort of weakness.


    Ji Canglan could be said to be taken every conceivable possibility into account, predicting that Ye Yuan would fall into depravity.


    But did not expect Lu-er this variable to appear.


    The moment the array formation opened up, sharp sword intent roamed around inside the grand array.


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help becoming solemn. This array formation was indeed extraordinary!


    Any one of them was far from being Ye Yuan''s match.


    But combined together, they actually had a feeling of invincibility.


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended the Domain of Sword, he actually had a feeling of danger too.


    "This Lu Linfeng is truly damnable! Just simply modify it a bit will do, so serious for what? Our Medicine King Hall clearly didn''t have that many powerhouses, did you specifically alter the array formation for Ji Canglan?"


    Ye Yuan had long already cussed Lu Linfeng several hundred times in his heart.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Streaks of sword light slashed past, charging straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. The Evil Extermination Sword suddenly moved out.


    Murmuring!


    Ye Yuan attacked like lightning, weaving the Evil Extermination Sword densely until airtight. Only then did it barely withstood the power of the sword formation.


    Even so, he felt his blood and qi in turmoil too.


    Ever since comprehending the Domain of Sword, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time encountering such a powerful foe.


    Just now, when those sword lights came over, they looked plain and ordinary, but Ye Yuan suddenly sensed an immense threat.


    He felt like his Domain of Sword most likely could not resist the might of those sword lights!


    Sure enough, the moment it started, Ye Yuan''s pressure soared.


    Ye Yuan had no time to praise this array formation''s marvelousness. In virtually an instant, he was quashed to the extreme!


    These sword lights, through the Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation''s enhancement, the power was tremendous.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was powerful, he was blasted until the webbing between his thumb and index finger went numb too.


    Before long, Ye Yuan''s webbing between his thumb and index finger seeped out blackish-red bloodstains.


    "Haha, how satisfying! I really didn''t think that this sword formation actually had such great power! This brat comprehended the extremely powerful Domain of Sword among Divine Dao domains and actually can''t withstand it either," a black-robed man came beside Ji Canglan and said with a loud laugh.


    This black-robed man was called Bloodsoul, one of the six great protectors under Ji Canglan.


    Ji Canglan smiled and said, "Divine Dao domains need to have Deity Realm cultivation to support it! Him, a Seventh Level Dao Profound, comprehending the Domain of Sword, it''s impossible to be invincible too."


    Bloodsoul sighed in wonder and said, "I was really unaware that you actually reserved such an impressive back-up move!"


    Ji Canglan said, "This sword formation was deduced according to Divine Dao array formations by the Grand Yan Divine King among the present Divine Realm''s Ten Great Divine Kings. The power can virtually rival the Ten Great Divine Kings. Back then, Ji Zhengyang that old thing expended a tremendous price before managing to get him to take action."


    "I didn''t expect that the present human race actually still had such a level of existence! Looks like he isn''t easy to provoke!" Bloodsoul said with an emotional sigh.


    "So what? As long as Divine Master comes into being, the Ten Great Divine Kings are merely ant-like existences! The Ten Great Divine Kings are also just Dao Profound Realm in the end. But Divine Master is a genuine Deity Realm existence!" Ji Canglan said.


    Bloodsoul was very much in approval and said with an excited look, "Indeed! Right now, everything is ready. There''s only lacking the east wind! Before long, our fiend race will rule over the Divine Realm! At that time, all of the humans will be our slaves! Hahaha ��"


    Ji Canglan smiled slightly but did not say much.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was already suppressed to the extreme.


    In front of these sword lights, he actually did not have the slightest strength to retaliate!


    He also tried to cast greater teleportation earlier, attempting to teleport out.


    But inside such an abstruse and profound array formation, he was actually unable to cast greater teleportation!


    At this instant, Ye Yuan seemed to be confined firmly inside the sword formation.


    Under the attack of the sword lights, Ye Yuan was already gradually teetering on his feet. Quite a number of sword lights even brushed by him; he had a narrow escape each time!


    Seeing this scene, Bloodsoul laughed loudly and said, "Haha, this brat can''t hold on anymore! If I had long known, I''d have sent this sword formation to go and finish him off. Coming up with so many tricks, the effects were actually inferior to this sword formation!"


    Ji Canglan''s face turned black. A burst of killing intent locked onto Bloodsoul. "Nobody will take you for a mute even if you don''t speak!"


    Bloodsoul smiled awkwardly and said, "H-Haha, I was just saying."


    Even though Ji Canglan expressed his displeasure, in the depth of his heart, he actually thought so too!

 1168 God Corrupting Blood Beads

    "Ye Yuan, these people are already devilfied and won''t have the slightest bit of feelings towards you at all! If you continue to be sympathetic, the one who dies in the end will be you!"


    Long Teng''s voice sounded beside Ye Yuan''s ear.


    "Senior �� could it be that �� there''s really no way of saving them?"


    "None! Once devilfied, their outcome is only death! Even if you don''t kill them now, when you kill their master, they still have to die!" Long Teng said with the decisiveness that could chop metal.


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and said, "Fine then, I got it."


    Wisps of divine essence quietly entered the Evil Extermination Sword.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s sword energy skyrocketed!


    Those sword lights emitted by the sword formation were actually directly crushed by Ye Yuan''s sword energy.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Streaks of invisible sword energy were emitted from the Evil Extermination Sword, causing Ye Yuan''s defensive circle to grow larger and larger.


    Seeing this scene, Ji Canglan and Bloodsoul''s expression both changed greatly.


    "Not good! This brat actually held back strength! Looks like he only couldn''t bear to kill his former fellow disciples just now, and that''s why he was suppressed by the sword formation," Bloodsoul said with an ugly expression.


    Ji Canglan''s gaze stared at the Ye Yuan inside the sword formation with a glimmer as he gritted his teeth and said, "He already cultivated the Evil Extermination Sword Formula to the first level''s great circle of perfection realm. The Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s might is already capable of unleashing 10% of its power!"


    "Such terrifying comprehension abilities! He obtained the Evil Extermination Sword Formula for at most one year plus ago, right? In just over one year, he comprehended Divine Dao laws to such an extent!" Bloodsoul said in shock.


    "The son of heaven''s mandate is indeed extraordinary! This group of trash couldn''t come in handy as expected. Bloodsoul, time for you all to strike!" Ji Canglan said in a solemn voice.


    "Yes, Lord Holy Son!" Bloodsoul voiced his assent and left.


    Ji Canglan looked at the Ye Yuan inside the battle ring, gaze glinting. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.


    At this time, Ye Yuan turned the sword hilt. A spiral-shaped sword energy spouted out, akin to boring into rocks, directly penetrating the sword lights that came from the sword formation.


    Puchi!


    The sword energy coming off the Evil Extermination Divine Sword passed through a peak void mystic''s chest without the least bit of hindrance.


    This person was the Medicine King Hall''s former reclusive grand elder. His strength was even a notch greater than Sun Man.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not have much contact with him, he also knew that he was a kindly senior.


    The previous life''s Ye Yuan, even though he focused on Alchemy Dao, toward his fellow disciples, he had never put on the airs of a young patriarch before.


    Therefore, among these fellow disciples, Ye Yuan''s popularity was still rather high.


    Ye Yuan''s relationship with these people before his eyes was also very harmonious.


    But now, he had to personally end these people''s lives. Ye Yuan was still very uncomfortable in his heart.


    It only stood to reason that he hated Ji Canglan even deeper to the core!


    This guy completely had no bottom line when doing things!


    Following this grand elder''s death, the Nine Consummate God Killing Sword Formation''s power naturally became greatly discounted.


    Those sword lights were completely unable to break through the 20 feet area in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Sorry, everyone! Qingyun is useless and is powerless to save the situation! Qingyun will send you all on your way here. This grudge, Qingyun will definitely help you all to avenge!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure instantly vanished.


    Then, one figure after another fell down from the sky.


    A hundred powerhouses were slaughtered clean by Ye Yuan very quickly.


    Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "I''m an alchemy emperor in vain and couldn''t save my fellow disciples. Ji Canglan, our grudge is getting bigger and bigger!"


    Ye Yuan knew that if he did not kill these people, they would come and deal with him to no end.


    Seeing this sight, Ji Canglan''s eyes also turned slightly intent as he murmured, "This brat matured quite a bit these few years! I even thought that some old familiar faces are able to cause some hindrance to him. I didn''t think that �� he didn''t even bat an eyelid."


    "Ji Canglan, you''ve lost all of your conscience and will die a horrible death!" Ye Yuan looked at Ji Canglan and said in a cold voice.


    Ji Canglan smiled and said, "Lost all my conscience? I''m of the fiend race. Don''t you think that it''s laughable to say this kind of words to a fiend? As long as we occupy this Divine Realm, we �� are the heavens! Rather, you personally killed these seniors of the same sect who had once groomed you before. Don''t you have any shame at all? Even if they became fiend slaves, they are at least still alive. But now, even their qualifications to carry on living was personally ended by you!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. Clearly, he wavered due to Ji Canglan''s sentence.


    Toward enemies, Ye Yuan had always been decisive in going for the kill. He would not even bat an eyelid.


    But towards the people around him, Ye Yuan had always felt tied down.


    Even if these people became fiend slaves.


    But right at this time, warning bells suddenly sounded in Ye Yuan''s mind!


    Countless blood beads came out from within the void and actually already thoroughly surrounded him unknowingly!


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have fallen into the encirclement of countless land mines. It was as if �� there was already nowhere to hide.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Those blood beads all exploded in an instant!


    In an instantly, blood rain sprayed everywhere!


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he instinctively executed greater teleportation.


    However, it was still too late!


    Some blood beads tainted his Evil Extermination Divine Sword.


    There were even some that splashed on him!


    Ye Yuan''s clothes and skin could not cause the slightest hindrance to these blood beads.


    Once they landed on Ye Yuan''s body, it actually encroached within Ye Yuan''s body.


    Ye Yuan''s alarm was by no means insignificant. He hurriedly investigated the change within his body, and his expression could not help changing drastically!


    After these blood beads entered the body, they turned into a tuft of blood-red color mist, enveloping Ye Yuan''s essence energy sea.


    Ye Yuan revolved essence energy and actually had an intermittent feeling of sluggishness!


    Looking at the Evil Extermination Sword again, those blood beads disappeared too. Clearly, it had also corroded to the insides of the Evil Extermination Sword!


    Ye Yuan discovered that the power of the Evil Extermination sword seemed to be greatly reduced!


    What the hell was those blood beads?


    Looking at this scene, Ji Canglan burst into laughter and said, "My good junior brother, you''re too careless!"


    After those blood beads exploded, the entire stretch of the sky seemed to be smeared a scarlet red color, looking exceedingly horrifying.


    "Hahaha!"


    Four figures walked out from within the void, their face having a mocking look.


    "Ji Qingyun, the taste of these God Corrupting Blood Beads is still pretty good, right?"


    "Stop struggling. These God Corrupting Blood Beads can defile myriad life under the heavens! As long as stained by a tiny bit, your essence energy will be defiled, unable to be used at all."


    "Also, under this stretch of sky, the four of our combat power will increase one-fifth! While you will weaken by one-fifth!"


    "Ji Qingyun, you''re indeed powerful, too bad that you''re �� too foolish! Those good-for-nothings were completely useless. If they died, then they died. You actually even had compassion for them. But speaking of which, for them to be able to confuse your mind, it''s also considered putting materials to good use. Now that you''re going to die too, do you think �� they will be moved or not? Hahaha ��"


    These four people were precisely four out of the six great protectors under Ji Canglan!

 1169 Blood Condensing Holy Physique

    The six great protectors under Ji Canglan were Bloodevil, Bloodsoul, Bloodcurdle, Bloodextinction, Bloodgrudge, and Bloodrain.


    Bloodrain, who was finished off by Ye Yuan under his bedeviled state, was one of them.


    Bloodevil transported the Bloodsoul Beads to the Divine Martial Hall. Currently, at this place, there were only four great protectors remaining.


    But these four great protectors were clearly not some simple people.


    The moment they made a move, they already overpowered Ye Yuan.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s essence energy was sluggish and was completely unable to muster up an effective attack.


    Furthermore, this kind of essence energy having corruption effect, it seemed to be spreading.


    In the end, Ye Yuan''s understanding toward the fiend race was still too little.


    He did not think that Ji Canglan actually still had such means.


    But the four great protectors'' words made Ye Yuan extremely enraged.


    "Huhu, are you very infuriated? You humans just love this sort of useless anger."


    "Your rage is so scary. Use your wrath to come and kill me! Hahaha ��"


    "Tsk tsk, truly a pretty good expression! I just love seeing this kind of outraged but helpless expression of humans!"


    ...


    The four people chimed in one after another, taunting Ye Yuan.


    Unable to circulate essence energy, Ye Yuan was already a lamb awaiting slaughter now.


    Ji Canglan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Stop talking crap. Kill him, in case the night is long, and dreams are fretful!"


    "Roger!"


    The four people received the order, raising their blades in unison and charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a sudden turn of events occurred!


    "Roar!"


    A dragon roar that reverberated through the clouds surged to the sky. But this time, Ye Yuan did not transform into a massive dragon.


    Even so, the dragon pressure on his body was not the slightest bit weaker compared to turning into a dragon.


    To Ye Yuan, fighting in human form was still more carefree.


    Caught off guard, the terrifying dragon pressure actually directly sent the four people flying out.


    "Since I''m unable to use essence energy, then I''ll just use the power of the fleshy body!" Ye Yuan said very indifferently.


    Despite being sent flying by the air billow, Bloodsoul the four of them did not get any injuries.


    Seeing this scene, Bloodsoul could not help smiling as he said, "Your fleshly body''s strength doesn''t even reach peak Tier 9! Dealing with the four of us, it''s still death!"


    The power of sanguinary, Ye Yuan had once seen on quite a few people before.


    But those people compared to these four people before his eyes, the disparity was too great.


    A bloody light shot to the skies. The four people carried a strange blade momentum and charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    As expected, just as they said, under this stretch of blood-colored space, the four of their strength skyrocketed.


    Ye Yuan could distinctly sense that these four people''s strength indeed surpassed ordinary void mystic powerhouses significantly.


    The four people superimposing together, the momentum was even more impressively shocking.


    Ye Yuan pulled out the fire rod and clashed together with the four people, and actually did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest!


    Ye Yuan''s dragon wave was long cultivated to late-stage spirit rank. The increase to his strength was not just a tiny bit.


    Even if not utilizing essence energy, Ye Yuan could similarly battle with powerhouses that surpassed peak void mystic by relying on the dragon race''s martial techniques.


    "How is that possible? You �� You''re actually not affected by the God Corrupting Blood Heaven!" Bloodsoul said in astonishment.


    As Ye Yuan fought, he said disdainfully, "A true dragon fleshy body is an extreme yang and indomitable physique of the world. With just the likes of your despicable means, how can it have constraining effects on me?"


    "Damn it, this brat''s tricks really emerge in an endless stream!" Bloodcurdle said angrily.


    Following the increase in cultivation realm, Ye Yuan''s true dragon bloodline had long reached sacred rank already!


    The dragon race''s bloodline was one of the noblest bloodlines in the world. How could it be suppressed by this Godbane Blood Heaven?


    The proud dragon race would never lower their heads to anybody.


    Not even the fiend race!


    Seeing this scene, Ji Canglan''s gaze flickered incessantly. Clearly, he was quite surprised.


    "The son of heaven''s mandate! The son of heaven''s mandate! Not seeing him for just a short 20 years or so, just how many trump cards does he have! However, it already reached this point. His trump cards should be used up, right?"


    Thinking to the back, the corners of Ji Canglan''s mouth unconsciously revealed a hint of a smile.


    He naturally knew that the son of heaven''s mandate was difficult to deal with. The reason why he set up so many contingency plans was in order to exhaust Ye Yuan''s trump cards!


    "The few of you, stop playing! Quickly finish him!" Ji Canglan said rather annoyedly.


    Hearing Ji Canglan''s voice, the four figures retreated explosively, instantly pulling apart the distance from Ye Yuan.


    "Sigh, how boring! Hard to come across such an interesting fellow, can''t even play a while more," Bloodsoul said helplessly.


    "Forget it, Lord Holy Son is already unhappy. If we still don''t take it seriously, he''ll probably directly erase us," Bloodcurdle said.


    "But this brat is really strong! Under the circumstances of not employing essence energy, he actually fought to a draw with the four of us. No wonder he''s the son of heaven''s mandate. This strength is truly terrifying!" Bloodextinction said.


    "No matter how great his strength is, it''s only this and nothing more as well! Come on!" Bloodsoul said coolly.


    Finished talking, the four people actually turned into a cloud of blood mist with a bang!


    Four long sabers actually combined into one!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, revealing a stunned look.


    This move seemed to be somewhat extraordinary!


    "The six of them are of the Blood Condensing Holy Physique! The terrifying aspect of this kind of physique is that they can each battle individually, and they can also merge into one body. You''re very lucky that Bloodrain was killed by you and that Bloodevil isn''t at the Medicine King Hall either. But dealing with you, the four of them should be adequate."


    Ji Canglan explained by the side very coolly. Clearly, he was very confident in the four of their combined attack.


    The six great protectors'' combined bodies'' attack, it was rather demanding for even him to deal with it as well.


    These six great protectors were created by the divine master expending a tremendous price.


    Divine Master spent several thousand years before creating 24 Blood Condensing Holy Physiques.


    Once these 24 Blood Condensing Holy Physiques combined into one, even if the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, Zhuge Qingxuan was here, it would be more than he could chew off too.


    The activities that the fiend race carried out in secret these few years were mostly completed by these 24 Blood Condensing Holy Physiques.


    Under the circumstances where the divine master was unable to emerge, these 24 Blood Condensing Holy Physiques could be said to be his representatives.


    The divine master sent six great protectors to come and assist Ji Canglan in one go. The importance he attached on Ji Canglan could be seen.


    Of course, Ji Canglan did not disappoint him either.


    Ever since the Medicine King Hall''s change, Ji Canglan did a lot of things openly and covertly.


    Just the speed of collecting Bloodsoul Beads was several dozens of times faster than in the past.


    This colossal project, Ji Canglan also thoroughly completed it not long ago.


    All along, the divine master was very satisfied with Ji Canglan''s performance. The sole exception was Ye Yuan.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp!


    Those four exploded clouds of blood mist suddenly gathered together, becoming a person!


    But this person''s aura was completely different from those four people previously.


    Just judging from the aura, this person''s strength was very terrifying!


    "Huhu, savor it well, this final hour!" Ji Canglan said with mockery.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan beamed broadly and said, "Since you know that I''m the son of heaven''s mandate, then you should be prepared for a reckoning! This level of tricks and you want to kill the son of heaven''s mandate?"


    Ye Yuan''s mocking laugh made Ji Canglan''s expression changed.

 1170 50 Thousand Years Later, Divine Rank Dragon Wave Reappears!

    Ji Canglan''s gaze turned sharp!


    He saw that Ye Yuan actually slowly withdrew the Sacred Dragon Token!


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes. All the muscles in his entire body were trembling rhythmically.


    "Sigh, is this freak finally going to use it? Over 50 thousand years later, finally seeing it once again!"


    Inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Long Teng had been paying attention to the battle situation all along.


    When he saw Ye Yuan keep the Sacred Dragon Token, he knew that this little freak was going to unleash a big move.


    Ye Yuan had long cultivated the dragon wave to spirit rank perfection realm. As for divine rank dragon wave, that was just something of the legends.


    However, in 100 thousand years, one person who truly cultivated dragon wave to divine rank, it was Long Teng!


    What the dragon clan''s divine inscriptions recorded was precisely how to train dragon wave to divine rank!


    With Long Teng''s overwhelming talent, he comprehended the divine inscriptions and attained divine rank dragon wave. That was how he became the dragon clan''s strongest in these 100 thousand years.


    But Long Teng spent close to 500 years comprehending divine rank dragon wave back then.


    But Ye Yuan merely just spent a day!


    From spirit rank dragon wave to divine rank dragon wave, same as all comprehensions of divine inscriptions, the hardest was crossing the threshold.


    But this crossing of the threshold was too easy to Ye Yuan.


    Even if Long Teng had long been prepared in his heart, he was also dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan''s comprehension speed.


    "Truly worthy of being the Atavism Dragon Soul! This kind of comprehension ability can simply be rated as heaven-defying! A physique that is hard to encounter once every million years, truly inconceivable! This boy is full of secrets everywhere on him. Just how did this Atavism Dragon Soul of his come about?" Long Teng shook his head and said with a sigh.


    He also could not understand till now, Ye Yuan was clearly a human martial artist, why would he possess a dragon race''s physique that was hard to come across once every million years!


    The Blood Condensing Holy Physique wielded a long blade in his hand, his aura astonishing.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan had encountered martial artists who used the sanguine power several times. But compared to this Blood Condensing Holy Physique, it was simply a small apprentice meeting a great sorcerer.


    "Go to hell! Blood Dyeing the Sky!"


    A bold and uninhibited blade carrying an unreasonable crushing force shot straight towards Ye Yuan''s face.


    Looking from the sides, that sharp blade light virtually split the blood-colored sky into two halves!


    "Roar!"


    At the same time, a virtually materialized golden dragon claw similarly tore apart the sky and welcomed that blood-colored blade light!


    Blade light versus dragon claw, it made people''s necks shrink back!


    Everyone all thought that this dragon claw would absolutely be split by the blade.


    Boom!


    Under everyone''s stares, two terrifying waves of energy collided together, kicking up a brilliant energy undulation.


    Soundless energy instantly spread throughout the entire Medicine King Hall!


    Many fiend race martial artists did not even let out a miserable cry and were utterly obliterated by this surge of energy.


    The two streams of energy actually entered a deadlock in mid-air.


    This blade that was sufficient to split apart everything was actually forcefully caught by the golden dragon claw!


    Rumble ��


    The two surges of energy started vibrating fiercely. Suddenly, Ji Canglan''s expression changed.


    That indifferent look from before was long replaced by shock already!


    "This �� This is the dragon race''s divine rank martial technique! This guy �� he comprehended divine rank dragon wave?" Ji Canglan said shock written all over his face.


    Ji Canglan had been on undercover among the human race for a long time, but he was still very clear about some of the Divine Realm''s secrets.


    The dragon race''s martial technique was completely established on the basis of dragon wave.


    And the hallmark of dragon wave breaking through to divine rank was golden color!


    That seemingly corporeal golden dragon claw clearly showed that Ye Yuan comprehended divine rank dragon wave!


    Bang!


    A huge bang came over, startling the Ji Canglan, who was ruminating in his thoughts.


    After stalemating for a short while, the golden dragon claw actually crushed that unparalleled blade light!


    This was not over yet!


    The golden dragon claw directly smacked down towards the Blood Condensing Holy Physique.


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    Amidst miserable cries, the Blood Condensing Holy Physique was directly smacked into a cloud of blood mist.


    Four clouds of black mist escaped from under the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Those blood mists actually condensed four figures once more with the black gas as the center. Who could it be if not Bloodsoul the four of them?


    The divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm actually did not strike them dead in one palm!


    Bloodsoul had a look of lingering fear in his heart. The color on his face also faded away a lot, appearing very pale.


    Clearly, even though this palm did not smack him dead, it also greatly reduced his strength.


    "Haha, what''s the use even if this palm was any more powerful! The few of us are of undying bodies! You �� can''t kill us! Haha ��"


    Bloodsoul let out a crazed laugh, while Ye Yuan, who had no movements all along, suddenly opened his eyes!


    Ji Canglan had been paying attention to Ye Yuan''s direction all along. Ever since after executing the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan shut his eyes all the way. It was also uncertain what he was doing.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open his two eyes. Rays of brilliant light shot out of his eyes. Ji Canglan cussed in his heart!


    "Be careful!" Ji Canglan yelled out.


    Bloodsoul was startled and hurriedly cast movement technique, wanting to escape.


    Puchi!


    Of the four people, three people got away. But there was a figure who was directly hacked into blood mist by Ye Yuan once again.


    It was just that this time, Ye Yuan did not give him the chance to revive.


    Inside the Domain of Sword, Ye Yuan directly ground everything up, including that cloud of black gas.


    Bloodextinction, dead!


    Bloodsoul the three of them revealed thunderstruck expressions, looked at Ye Yuan, and said with an expression like they had seen a ghost, "You �� You resolved the God Corrupting Blood Bead? How did you do it?"


    That scene earlier, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest feeling of sluggishness when casting martial technique.


    Evil Extermination Sword''s power recovered to its peak condition again.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan already completely resolved God Corrupting Blood Bead!


    It was just that, Bloodsoul did not dare to believe at all how Ye Yuan did it.


    A hint of a cold sneer flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth as he said coolly, "A mere corrupting object, what''s hard about removing it? To think that you all still treated this lousy thing as a treasure!"


    The moment Bloodsoul heard, his face could not turning stiff.


    Lousy thing?


    The God Corrupting Blood Bead was an existence that could even corrupt divine artifacts. When it reached Ye Yuan''s mouth, it actually became a lousy thing?


    The God Corrupting Blood Bead was naturally not a lousy thing. But they did not know that Ye Yuan had a Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame on him and could purify myriad objects under the heavens!


    These God Corrupting Blood Beads were merely man-made.


    However, a peak Tier 9 Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was the purest, most unadulterated power of fire essence in the world!


    As long as Ye Yuan was given some time, purifying tainted blood was naturally accomplished with ease.


    After the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan was already silently revolving Fiery, eliminating the corrupted blood inside his essence energy sea and inside the Evil Extermination Sword clean.


    This sudden attack caught the four people off guard.


    Resulting in Bloodextinction being instantly eradicated!


    "No! I �� I don''t believe it! The God Corrupting Blood Bead is our lifeblood sanguine power! How can you possibly resolve it?"


    Bloodsoul had a savage look, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It doesn''t matter whether you believe or not. Either way, freaks like you all won''t be existing anymore right away."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished!


    Bloodsoul''s gaze turned intent, but Ye Yuan already quietly arrived by his side.

 1171 Who Won, Who Lost?

    Clank!


    The sound of metal clashing.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred. A certain kill sword was actually blocked by Ji Canglan!


    After a time interval of 20 years, it was the first time the apprentice brothers, the two people, were so close.


    However, Ye Yuan''s expression changed.


    The sword in Ji Canglan''s hand was actually a divine artifact too!


    "Huhu, you seem very surprised that I have a divine artifact in my hands?" Ji Canglan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Clank!


    The two people''s essence energy swept out, separating from each other.


    Bloodsoul trio heaved a long sigh in relief, feeling lucky to survive a disaster.


    "M-Many thanks to Lord Holy Son for the rescue! This subordinate is incapable and disappointed Lord Holy Son!" Bloodsoul''s sweat poured profusely as he cupped his fists and said.


    Ji Canglan snorted coldly and said, "If not for that you guys still have a bit of use, you think that this seat will save you all? A bunch of good-for-nothing, can''t even cause him a bit of harm!"


    Ji Canglan had prepared many contingencies and even thought that he was able to seriously wound Ye Yuan.


    Who knew that apart from making Ye Yuan display some trump cards, he did not cause much damage to Ye Yuan at all.


    Bloodsoul and the rest did not dare to refute, hurriedly retreating.


    With Holy Son taking action, there was naturally no need for them anymore.


    Moreover, Bloodsoul discerned in shock that they could not poke their noses into this battle at all.


    It was too easy for Ye Yuan to want to eradicate them.


    The undying body was simply a joke in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ji Canglan toyed with the divine sword in his hand and said with a look of amusement, "Back then, the deity realm powerhouses that died in Divine Master''s hands were too many to enumerate. Just a divine sword, no need to make such a big fuss."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, and he opened his mouth and said, "The divine master that you speak of, could it be one of the heavenly fiendgods, Kanuo?"


    Ji Canglan smiled and said, "Looks like you know quite a bit. It''s just that Holy Mother Devil Flower has already come into being. Even though she was seriously injured by the divine sword, as long as she recovers and joins hands with Lord Divine Master, do you think that you still have hope?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a very meaningful glance and said, "Are you �� roping me in?"


    Ji Canglan did not have the intention of denying, saying, "Junior Brother, you''re a smart man and should know the logic of a fine bird choosing a tree to perch on. A war without any hopes of victory, why do you need to take up a difficult job beyond your reach?"


    "With your understanding of me, don''t you think that saying these words is somewhat wasting your breath? Do you think that I would agree?" Ye Yuan said with a mocking laughed mockingly.


    Ji Canglan said, "Times have changed! Since you personally saw Holy Mother Devil Flower come into being, I believe you should know that you absolutely have no chances of victory! Absolute Heaven had Jiang Chen this Origin Deity Realm powerhouse aiding him. But beside you? Who else is there? Without a deity realm existence, Divine Master Kanuo and Holy Mother Devil Flower are even more undefeatable!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows involuntarily knitted together when he heard that.


    When Ji Canglan saw, he continued, "Actually, those days together with you and Master, I was very happy too. But I had no command over myself! The survival order of the fiend race is like the mortals'' king to his subjects: a thought to live, a thought to die! Talking about it, you might not believe it. Divine Master sealed my divine soul in the divine soul of a human. Hence, that''s why you all were unable to detect it. But for so many years, I''ve already been corroded by the human soul. One can say that I''m a half-fiend, half-human freak right now. Regarding Master''s incident, I can only say �� very sorry."


    "You have to know, the son of heaven''s mandate''s final fate is death! Absolute Heaven was like that, Fang Tian 50 thousand years was similarly like so. In terms of meritorious exploits and great achievements, who can compete with the sons of heaven''s mandate in the human race''s history? But you take a look, among the sons of heaven''s mandate you know of, who else is there?"


    Ji Canglan''s words could be said to touch the chords of one''s heart.


    He was talking about it until Ye Yuan actually hesitated for a moment.


    He did not say things like whatever dominating the Divine Realm, only he alone reigned supreme, so on and so forth. Because he knew that Ye Yuan was not interested at all.


    Moving with feelings, understanding with reason, was the best way to rope Ye Yuan in.


    However, Long Teng inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda somewhat freaked out when he saw Ye Yuan''s wavering appearance.


    "Ye Yuan, the fiend race mustn''t be trusted! This Ji Canglan is diabolic and wildly ambitious, you mustn''t fall for his tricks!" Long Teng said anxiously.


    "Junior Brother, we were fellow disciples for 500 years. These 500 years to me, this half-human, half-fiend freak, it indeed warmed my heart. But Kanuo? On the day I was born, I was sealed up by him, becoming this grotesque appearance! I can tell you a secret. Now that the Divine Realm''s Heaven Dao is missing, Kanuo already lost interest in it. After conquering it, he still wants to think of a way to return to the place he came from! At that time, we''ll reestablish order in the Divine Realm and maintain the present state. Isn''t that good?" Ji Canglan strung along skillfully.


    With this, Long Teng panicked even more and said, "Ye Yuan! Don''t listen to his lies! He ��"


    "You shut your mouth for this young master!" Ye Yuan suddenly shouted.


    Ji Canglan froze when he heard that but then he saw Ye Yuan took out the Vast Heaven Pagoda and casually fired out several spells. Long Teng''s voice could not longer transmit out.


    When the Long Teng inside saw the situation, he was even more flustered like an ant in a hot pan.


    But Ye Yuan had already completely controlled the Vast Heaven Pagoda now. He, the artifact spirit, was completely helpless.


    When Ji Canglan saw the situation, he could not help rejoicing in his heart.


    Looked like his persuasion took effect!


    "You said just now, he''ll think of a way to return to his original place? What �� does this mean?" Ye Yuan asked in a solemn voice.


    Ji Canglan said, "The fiend race isn''t a race of the Divine Realm at all! As for how in the world they came, very sorry, I don''t know either."


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows and started musing. This news was indeed an earth-shattering news to him.


    "But �� I heard Kanuo said before, they ��"


    A light flashed. Ji Canglan suddenly shot forth!


    He was waiting for a chance where Ye Yuan became inattentive by talking until now.


    He did not hope at all for Ye Yuan pledge allegiance to the fiend race. But he knew that Ye Yuan would definitely be interested in the fiend race''s history.


    Hence, he dug a pit step by step, waiting for Ye Yuan''s momentary absent-mindedness.


    When experts exchanged blows, an instant was sufficient!


    Deliberate in counsel, prompt in action


    Ji Canglan''s sword was quick to the extreme!


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s greater teleportation, it did not lose out to it either.


    It was just that Ji Canglan did not think that at virtually the same time, Ye Yuan moved too!


    Clank!


    Clank!


    Two long swords intersected and passed, separating upon contact!


    Far away, Bloodsoul and the rest could not refrain from swallowing their saliva.


    That scene just now was seriously too exciting.


    Even they were taken in by Ji Canglan too and even thought that Lord Holy Son was really recruiting Ye Yuan.


    But who knew that in an instant, the situation suddenly changed!


    "Bloodgrudge, they �� Who won?" Bloodsoul could not resist asking the Bloodgrudge beside.


    Bloodgrudge shook his head and had a nervous look too.


    Pffft ��


    Fresh blood suddenly sprayed out of Ye Yuan''s chest, and he unconsciously kneeled but stopped halfway.


    "Hahaha �� Lord Holy Son is indeed formidable!" Seeing this scene, Bloodsoul the three people could not help being overjoyed.

 1172 Bloodshed Flying Sword

    "Ye Yuan, a-are you alright?"


    The Vast Heaven Pagoda''s restriction also automatically removed at this time.


    Long Teng rushed straight out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda and looked Ye Yuan concernedly.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was deathly pale, the blood on his chest gushing out like a fountain, looking exceedingly frightening.


    Wounds carved out on the physical body by a divine sword were not that easy to heal.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art crazily, but the wounds healed rather slowly.


    "I �� I''m fine!" Ye Yuan''s complexion was white as a sheet as he said strenuously.


    "K-Kill him! Argh �� !"


    Ji Canglan''s mouth emitted a howl.as if exhausting all the strength in his body.


    Puchi!


    After this sound was made, Ji Canglan''s body actually cut off at the waist!


    Seeing this scene, Bloodsoul trio''s expressions changed drastically!


    They never would have thought that this round, it was actually Ye Yuan who won.


    Ye Yuan only had his chest injured, while Ji Canglan was cut in half at the waist!


    Similarly, using a divine artifact, the wound was likewise unable to heal.


    But without a doubt, Ye Yuan''s situation right now became even more dangerous!


    Bloodsoul three people''s reactions could not be said to not be fast. They dashed out, charging toward Ye Yuan.


    Long Teng''s expression changed greatly and was just about to take action, but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    "Let me!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan muttered words under his breath. A mysterious and hard to fathom Divine Dao law slowly emerged.


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele suddenly turned big from small, smashing towards the three people.


    Bloodsoul trio did not think that Ye Yuan still had such a fallback. Caught unprepared, they were immediately suppressed by the Vast Heaven Stone Stele!


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele that carried Divine Dao laws directly crushed the three people into smithereens.


    Even the black gas that condensed into them were also directly annihilated by the Vast Heaven Stone Stele.


    The Vast Heaven Stone Stele and Evil Extermination Sword were originally the fiend race''s jinx.


    Ye Yuan could already draw out a portion of the Vast Heaven Stone Stele''s power presently. How could it be what Bloodsoul trio was capable of withstanding?


    Of course, this was primarily still due to Ye Yuan severely injuring them previously with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. Their current strength was already greatly discounted as well.


    "Puhwark!"


    Finished suppressing Bloodsoul trio, Ye Yuan also vomited a large mouthful of blood.


    Utilizing divine essence and the power of Divine Dao laws, especially under the circumstances of being severely injured, it increased the burden on his body even more.


    "Ye Yuan!" Long Teng hurriedly went to support him.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I''m fine! Senior, you go back inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda first! This battle isn''t over yet!"


    Long Teng''s expression flickered incessantly, but finally still nodded his head and returned inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda unwillingly.


    Presently, this level of battle was already not what he was able to take part in.


    At this time, a bloody light shot up into the sky from Ji Canglan''s body. The place where he was severed at the waist actually rejoined together, looking very harrowing.


    Very clearly, he was making the best use of time to recover his strength.


    This sword of Ye Yuan did not cut his vital parts.


    Even ordinary martial artists could not be killed, let alone a fiend like Ji Canglan.


    Ye Yuan''s Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art also revolved to the limits, recovering his wound.


    At the same time, he even swallowed a Tier 9 medicinal pill.


    "How devious, Junior Brother!" At this time, Ji Canglan who was inside the blood light spoke up.


    His tone was icy-cold. Clearly, he took Ye Yuan''s blow earlier greatly to heart.


    He was baiting Ye Yuan step by step but did not expect that Ye Yuan was just meeting one ruse with another, and even deliberately sealed the Vast Heaven Pagoda for him to see.


    In the end, he fell into Ye Yuan''s scheme!


    This round, it was still him who lost by a notch!


    "You were conniving too! Saving them just now is probably in order to be a scapegoat for you, right?"


    He had no reservations earlier in letting Bloodsoul and the rest to deliver themselves up for Ye Yuan to kill, in order to aggravate Ye Yuan''s injuries. This way, he had even more time to recover from his wounds.


    Ji Canglan knew that Ye Yuan still had the strength to spare. If Ye Yuan did not shrink back from getting severely injured and directly came over to kill him, he practically did not have strength leftover to retaliate.


    "Merely a bunch of trash! Dying for me is their glory!" Ji Canglan said without a care.


    "You truly deserve death!"


    "H-Haha, my little junior brother, already reached this point today, do you still not understand me?"


    "Hence, I came to kill you!"


    "You can''t kill me! This battle, the one who dies is you!"


    "Is that so? Then let''s �� go another round, how about it?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan slowly stood up. Ji Canglan in the blood light was taken aback with shock and said in horror, "You �� How can you possibly recover so quickly?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since you know that I obtained the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, can''t you guess it?"


    "A-Arcane insight rank?" Ji Canglan said in horror.


    Arcane insight rank medicinal pills contained Divine Dao laws.


    Healing medicinal pills were naturally able to dispel the power of laws that divine artifacts left behind on the wounds.


    "So �� can you go and die already?"


    Ye Yuan''s indifferent voice sounded out. A sword slashed towards the Ji Canglan inside the bloody light.


    But in the next second, Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically. All the hairs on his body stood on its end.


    Ye Yuan''s alarm bells sounded off, and he chose to greater teleport at the first moment!


    "Bloodshed Flying Sword!"


    A bizarre voice suddenly came out from inside the bloody light, vastly different from Ji Canglan normally.


    However, when countless blood-colored flying swords were magnified limitlessly in Ye Yuan''s pupils, Ye Yuan felt tremendous pressure!


    Without holding back in the slightest!


    "Sword Intent Connecting to Divinity!"


    Ye Yuan mustered up essence energy, activating the Evil Extermination Divine Sword to the limits!


    A dense sword web welcomed the approaching blood-colored flying swords!


    These flying swords were not real swords, but one after another of dense sword energy!


    Sword energy and blood energy fused together.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s sword web and the blood swords collided together.


    The first strike, Ye Yuan almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    This was a clash of Divine Dao laws!


    However, it seemed like Ji Canglan was a level higher!


    Ye Yuan revolved the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art and Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, and forcefully suppressed his rolling blood energy.


    At the same time, the Evil Extermination Sword in his hand did not stop for a second, dancing until it was impenetrable.


    For a moment, Ye Yuan seemingly had his chest struck by countless heavy hammers!


    The wounds from before did not heal right away.


    Under the attacks of these countless blood swords, his wound split apart once more.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Finally, this wave of blood swords was withstood by Ye Yuan. But the injuries on his body worsened several times!


    On Ye Yuan''s white long robes, it was already stained full of blackish-red bloodstains.


    Ji Canglan was indeed not so easy to deal with!


    In the blood light, Ji Canglan slowly walked out.


    His severed body actually pieced together completely once more at this time.


    "Little Junior Brother, this move is still passable, right? You''re also too careless. The fiend race''s recovery ability is rated as perverse. Even you recovered, would I not recover?" Ji Canglan said to Ye Yuan with a wide grin.


    The blood within Ye Yuan''s body was in turmoil. At this time, he could not even speak.


    Those blood swords looked very sloppy and ordinary, but the power was unbelievably terrifying.


    The Evil Extermination Divine Sword that he deployed with divine essence was actually unable to ward off the impact that the power of laws brought to him!

 1173 Fury Sword Fire Lotus!

    "Heh, talking about geniuses, it''s not just you alone in this world! These few years, your senior brother, I, wasn''t idling. This Bloodshed Flying Sword amalgamated the fiend race''s transcendent Blood Dao and the human race''s Sword Dao. In terms of power, it''s already not weaker compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings, that kind of powerhouses," Ji Canglan said with a faint smile.


    Ye Yuan sensed that these blood swords were just like cannonballs.


    Even if he used all of his strength, he was still beaten to severe injuries.


    With Ye Yuan''s defensive power, this was simply unthinkable.


    "Huhu, stop racking your brain in vain. Do you think that I''d give you a chance to catch your breath? Now, senior brother will send you to go reunite with that damn old man of yours!"


    Ji Canglan suddenly became resolute!


    He suddenly slashed the divine sword at his own palm. Fresh blood immediately sprayed all over the divine sword.


    "Bloodshed Flying Sword, go for me!"


    Once more, countless blood swords tore through the air and arrived, and actually carried whistling sounds.


    This attack, Ye Yuan already had nowhere to hide!


    But in the next instant, the expression on Ji Canglan''s face became extremely fascinating.


    A human-size tortoise shell appeared in front of Ye Yuan!


    Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell!


    The originally incomparably swift and fierce blood swords collided onto the tortoise shell and actually could not even stir up a single wave.


    Ji Canglan''s eyes stared like wide-circles, but he refused to believe everything that he saw before his eyes.


    Another round of Bloodshed Flying Sword!


    However, it still did not stir up any waves.


    After the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, Ye Yuan was currently making use of all of the time to recover essence energy.


    Ye Yuan''s Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, following the increase in fleshly body power, already cultivated to late-stage ninth level. Right now, the recovery power was very astonishing.


    Plus, the medicinal effects of the arcane insight medicinal pill before had yet to fade. The Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell was sufficient to resist until he recovered some strength.


    Ji Canglan suddenly thought of something and said in astonishment, "This �� Could this be the lost supreme treasure of the Black Tortoise Clan, the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell?! Damn it, this brat''s lucky chances are truly heaven-defying!"


    Thinking about it, Ji Canglan''s face turned cold, and he said, "No way! Absolutely can''t let him recover strength! Otherwise, the consequences are too ghastly to imagine!"


    Instinctively, Ji Canglan sensed a hint of a threat!


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Ji Canglan''s whole body was shrouded in black gas.


    Berserk fiendish energy gave people a nerve-racking feeling.


    Chiii!


    Ji Canglan slit his own palm once more, then smeared his own blood on the divine sword.


    The divine sword emitted intense vibrations, appearing extremely unwilling.


    Ji Canglan said with a hideous grin, "Being a wedding gown for this seat, that''s your honor! Devil Flames Surging to the Sky, suppress for me!"


    A cloud of black gas instantly wrapped the divine sword up. The divine sword''s unwillingness was actually really quashed down.


    Ji Canglan''s fiendish energy was countless times purer compared to the average fiend. Even compared to that Fiendgod Jia Lan, it was not at all inferior too.


    "ARGH!!"


    Ji Canglan gave a roar, his entire person''s aura suddenly skyrocketed.


    The explosive muscles utterly shredded his clothes. His facial features also became abnormally savage.


    His entire person was just like a rampaging wild beast.


    "Ji Qingyun, I want to see how long this tortoise shell of yours can last! Bloodshed Fiend Sword!"


    Ji Canglan''s figure suddenly vanished, like it disappeared into thin air.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The next instant, only to hear a series of loud booms transmit over.


    On the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, fierce exploding sounds came over.


    Waves of terrifying energy undulation spread out layer by layer, blasting the entire Medicine King Hall''s houses and mountain-body into a pile of dust.


    This degree of impact was practically already the limits of what divine king powerhouses could attain.


    Ji Canglan knew that this Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell was definitely not deployed by Ye Yuan. It was definitely a one-time treasure.


    As long as he attacked continuously, it could hasten the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell''s expenditure, and reduce Ye Yuan''s recovery time from there.


    The two people were racing against time!


    After the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle. It was as if everything in the outside world had not the least bit of relation with him.


    A moment ago, on a piece of empty land in the Vast Heaven Pagoda, stood 1000 identical Fierys in ranks!


    Looking closely, these Fierys'' forms were different.


    Some were sitting cross-legged, some were playing with flames in their palms, while some were in a ruminating state.


    There were even some that were fighting in pairs.


    On the platform, Fiery''s main body''s eyes were slightly closed, sitting crossed-legged, as if he was comprehending something.


    Suddenly, a voice transmitted into the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Fiery, I need your help!"


    It was precisely Ye Yuan''s voice!


    Fiery''s snapped open his eyes and responded, "Okay, Big Brother, I''m coming right away!"


    Finished talking, his entire body trembled. Those 1000 Fiery clones turned into streams of flowing light, pouring straight into his body.


    Fiery shut his eyes once more. He was digesting these 1000 Fierys'' comprehension.


    After a hundred breaths, Fiery slowly opened his eyes. Rays of brilliant light appeared in his eyes.


    By the side, Long Teng opened his mouth and said, "How is it?"


    Fiery said with a light smile, "The first level, I already learned the rudiments!"


    Long Teng''s entire body trembled, and he said in astonishment, "S-So fast?"


    Fiery nodded and said, "I''m originally an innate fire spirit physique. Comprehending the power of fire source can be said to yield twice the results with half the effort. Although Divine Dao laws are hard, to the current me, it''s not something beyond my reach. More importantly, this method that Big Brother came up with is simply too ingenious!"


    But Long Teng let out a sigh and said, "Yeah, really don''t know how this boy''s head grew, to actually even think of this kind of cultivation method! Using clones to cultivate the cultivation method, then gathering onto the main body. This is equivalent to having 1000 Fierys cultivating at the same time! Even though the effects are inferior to the main body cultivating by yourself, once these clones come together, the effects are 10 times, even 100 times of the main body''s cultivation speed!"


    After Ye Yuan obtained the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art from Teng Yun there, he suddenly came up with a whimsical idea and imparted this cultivation method to Fiery.


    Essence fires were born from heaven and earth to begin with, and the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was also a heaven and earth spiritual plant. With Fiery''s present cultivation realm, comprehending the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was truly advancing at a tremendous pace.


    While at this time, Fiery already learned the rudiments of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art''s Divine Dao Chapter''s first level!


    In terms of strength, he was already much stronger compared to ordinary peak void mystic!


    "Big Brother is really a prodigious talent! Senior, I''m going out to help Big Brother!" Fiery said to Long Teng.


    ...


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ji Canglan was just like an unceasing war machine, using incomparably powerful offensive power to bombard the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell.


    Under his untiring efforts, the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell''s tremors became stronger and stronger.


    Finally, with a bang, the Mystic Art Holy Tortoise Shell was no longer able to withstand his tremendous force and was blasted flying.


    "Ka ka, Ji Qingyun, your hour of doom has arrived!" Ji Canglan shouted excitedly, seeing this scene.


    But right at this time, there was suddenly an additional figure beside Ye Yuan.


    The two figures seemed to have consulted in advance, their movements were virtually synchronized.


    Two surges of terrifying Divine Dao power of laws gushed out akin to twin dragons spitting pearls!


    "Fury Sword Fire Lotus!"

 1174 Avenging the Great Enmity!

    Two mighty Divine Dao law powers intertwined together, but it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    Fiery was born from the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus, while the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was Ye Yuan''s clone.


    Between Fiery and Ye Yuan could be said to be connected in mind and soul.


    The synchronization of the two people casting arts was in complete unison!


    Two kinds of Divine Dao laws superimposing together, mutually augmenting each other, the power was far from what an independent Divine Dao law could compare to.


    This sword was unimaginable strong!


    Ji Canglan''s pupils constricted, wanting to escape. But it was already too late to change moves.


    With a clank, Ji Canglan''s long sword was directly smacked flying, flying out of his hand.


    Puchi!


    The Evil Extermination Divine Sword stabbed viciously into Ji Canglan''s body, destroying his life force!


    The Evil Extermination Divine Sword originally countered evil things the most.


    Fiery''s law of fire similarly could purify myriad things under the heavens.


    This sword was virtually fatal to Ji Canglan!


    Swoosh!


    Right at that instant Evil Extermination Sword stabbed into Ji Canglan''s body, a mass of black gas suddenly flew out from the top of his head, fleeing away.


    The black gas''s speed was exceptionally swift. But in front of Ye Yuan, who knew the art of greater teleportation, it was futile even if it was any quicker.


    "Want to leave?"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. Greater teleportation was instantly displayed.


    How could the Ji Canglan without a physical body compare to Ye Yuan''s speed?


    One teleportation and it was a distance of 20 thousand feet.


    The black gas did not escape very far yet and was already blocked from the front by Ye Yuan.


    20 feet!


    Domain of Sword!


    Ye Yuan already firmly locked onto the Ji Canglan in the middle of escaping.


    At this time, a layer of pale white flames suffused at the borders of the Domain of Sword.


    Looking from far away, it was like a fireball.


    "Enmity of killing one''s father, the hatred of losing one''s wife! Do you think that I''d let you escape?"


    Ye Yuan''s voice seemingly came from the underworld, bone-piercingly cold.


    The enmity of over 20 years all erupted at this instant.


    This short 20 years plus, the thing that Ye Yuan thought about day and night was to take revenge!


    For the sake of this goal, Ye Yuan could be said to have had narrow escapes.


    From a carefree young master who pursued Dao wholeheartedly, he became someone who was resolved to excel, a powerful martial artist who specialized in the Martial Dao.


    The transformation experienced in-between this could not be said to not be great.


    Now, it was finally within sight.


    "Qingyun, you and I were apprentice brothers at any rate! Furthermore, I didn''t kill sister in law, she isn''t dead yet!"


    Actually, Ji Canglan also did not know whether Yue Mengli was dead or not.


    But right now, in order to live, he naturally stuck to his guns that she was not dead.


    Only this way, could he have a chance to live on.


    Sure enough, when Ye Yuan heard these words, his expression could not help changing, and he said, "Where''s Li-er!"


    "You let me go first. Otherwise, you''ll never see her again!" Ji Canglan threatened.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Do you think �� you have the qualifications to bargain with me?"


    "Why won''t I have the qualifications? My good junior brother, I understand you too well! I know that you''ll definitely let me leave, isn''t that right? You couldn''t even deal a blow to those devilized former fellow disciples, could it be that �� you''ll kill me for the sake of your beloved?"


    Ji Canglan had an unflinching look. He understood Ye Yuan too well.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to acknowledge Yue Mengli, his fianc��e, it showed that he loved Yue Mengli deeply.


    With Ye Yuan''s personality of valuing loyalty and relationships greatly, he absolutely would not dare to deal a killing blow to him.


    This �� was his final counterweight and also the heaviest counterweight.


    Because Ye Yuan would give in obediently!


    "Do you think that I''ll believe your words? If you have Li-er in your hands, would you wait until now?" But Ye Yuan was not easy to hoodwink as he said with a cold sneer.


    But Ji Canglan was not flustered nor rattled and similarly said with a cold sneer, "Do you think that if I caught the Yue Family''s little lass, I''d hide her here? To me, she isn''t just a death-exemption gold token that simple! You''re the child of destiny; want to break your destiny, the Yue Family''s lass is the crux! Previously when I deliberately spread the news of her demise, it was in order to make you fall into depravity. I didn''t think that you actually pulled through! But now, she''s my death-exemption gold token. If you don''t believe me, just make a move. You''ll become the culprit who causes her death indirectly."


    Ye Yuan hesitated!


    Even if he did not believe Ji Canglan''s words at all, he did not dare take this risk either!


    Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand possibility, Ye Yuan could not use Yue Mengli''s life to make a gamble either.


    This kind of thing, he, Ye Yuan, could not do it.


    If Yue Mengli died because of him, even if he avenged his great enmity, what was the use?


    When Ji Canglan saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he could not help being thrilled in his heart. Striking while the iron was hot, he said, "You don''t need to doubt either, with that lass''s strength, do you think that she''s able to escape my encirclement and suppression? Bloodrain''s strength, you''ve witnessed before. Do you feel that the Yue Family''s lass can escape from his hands?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. This time, he really wavered.


    According to his estimations, even if Li-er progressed at breakneck speed, it was also impossible to be Bloodrain''s match.


    This way, the likelihood of what Ji Canglan said increased greatly.


    "I can let you go, but I want to see Li-er!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Ji Canglan said coolly, "The Yue Family''s lass is already being escorted to the Divine Martial Hall. The Divine Martial Hall definitely already knows that my fleshy body is already destroyed. If I don''t hurry back within three days, the Yue Family''s lass will be dead for sure. You �� don''t have a choice!"


    Ji Canglan said whatever came to his mind, but said it with assertive eloquence.


    He was originally incomparably cunning. Even for Ye Yuan, it was hard to see through any flaws too.


    Finally, Ye Yuan slowly opened up the Domain of Sword. That soul-stirring pale white flames also gradually extinguished.


    Seeing this scene, Ji Canglan was wildly elated in his heart. But he did not have the slightest ripple.


    "Hahaha �� My good junior brother, we''ll meet again!"


    Ji Canglan laughed smugly. That cloud of black gas turned into a streak of flowing light and headed for the horizon.


    But right at this time, a beautiful figure gradually appeared in Ye Yuan''s line of sight from another direction!


    "Big Brother Yuan! Are you alright!"


    This beautiful figure was none other than precisely Yue Mengli, who rushed over looking travel-worn!


    The person who understood you the most in this world would be your enemy and your beloved!


    Seeing Bright Moon City''s and Vastsun City''s miserable states, Yue Mengli knew right away that Ye Yuan definitely came to find Ji Canglan to take revenge.


    Under this kind of circumstance, it was practically impossible for Ye Yuan to have a second choice!


    Therefore, Yue Mengli rushed over without stopping.


    At virtually the same time, Ye Yuan and Ji Canglan both discovered Yue Mengli!


    Ji Canglan had his seven earthly souls scared out of him, urging fiendish energy to the limits, wanting to get away from Ye Yuan''s range.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body shuddered too. Virtually without thinking, the Fury Sword Fire Lotus suddenly attacked!


    Chiii!


    A lotus flower-shaped pale white sword energy tore across the sky, flying straight for Ji Canglan.


    Even if Ji Canglan was any quicker, how could he be as fast that this streak of sword energy that tore across the sky and arrived?


    "Ahhh �� Ji Qingyun, you won''t have a good end!"


    A shrill, miserable cry spread throughout the sky and gradually turned into nothing.


    The Evil Extermination Sword''s awe-inspiring sword energy and the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame purifying power directly incinerated that cloud of black gas into nothing!


    The haughty and domineering Ji Canglan finally died under Ye Yuan''s sword.

 1175 Uneasiness

    "Huuuu ��"


    At this instant, Ye Yuan felt like all the pores on his body opened up, incomparably light-footed.


    The large rock pressing on his heart for over 20 years was finally shattered!


    Killing Ji Canglan was giving an account to himself, and even more giving an account to his father who used his life to protect him.


    But this road was covered densely with thistles and thorns.


    Fortunately, he finally completed it!


    But just as Ji Zhengyang said, Ji Canglan was merely a chess piece that was pushed to the front-stage!


    The real person pulling the strings was Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo!


    This trip to the Medicine King Hall also let Ye Yuan understand some news concerning Fiendgod Kanuo.


    Even though it was just an iota.


    But what Ye Yuan was most mindful of was where in the world the Divine Martial Hall, this mysterious sect, was at!


    Very clearly, Fiendgod Kanuo was already about to come into being.


    If he could not find Kanuo before this and severely injure, even finish him off, the outcome was too ghastly to imagine.


    Thus far, the methods that Kanuo exhibited were simply mind-boggling.


    This opponent was a hundred times more terrifying than Ji Canglan!


    After all, this was an existence comparable to Daoist Absolute Heaven, that kind of Origin Deity Realm.


    Unless �� he could break through to Deity Realm!


    But this was an even more impossible task.


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    Yue Mengli already sprinted in front of Ye Yuan with a look of agitation.


    Seeing Yue Mengli, Ye Yuan was similarly over the moon.


    "Li-er, it �� it''s great that you''re alright!" Ye Yuan immediately pulled Li-er into his embrace and said with his true feelings.


    To Ye Yuan, it was very rare for him to have this kind of outburst of true sentiments.


    Li-er was indeed a special existence to him.


    Even Mu Lingxue never enjoyed this kind of treatment from Ye Yuan before too.


    Yue Mengli was held in the arm by Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan''s true sentiments flowing, she was truly unable to contain her joy, her heart pounding.


    Following Ye Yuan for so long, Yue Mengli was deeply aware of the pressure on Ye Yuan''s shoulders.


    To Ye Yuan, who had reincarnated, the Medicine King Hall was a colossal giant.


    Growing from a Lower Realm''s youth without any foundation to the present Divine Realm''s bigshot, the hardships paid in-between this, only Yue Mengli was the clearest.


    If it was just talking about Ye Yuan this identity, she could be said to have watched Ye Yuan grow up.


    Now, Ye Yuan personally killed Ji Canglan, finally putting down that heavy burden.


    In addition, seeing that she was fine, under the brutal hopelessness of love, that was why he would be like this.


    "Big Brother Yuan, congratulations on avenging your great enmity! It''s been hard on you these few years! I believe that Lord Zhengyang Zi''s spirit in heaven should be able to obtain comfort," Yue Mengli said in a gentle voice, being in Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    Hugging Yue Mengli, hearing her words, Ye Yuan was filled with emotions, but tears gushed out.


    A man would not shed tears easily unless his heart was broken!


    Ji Canglan''s betrayal had once made Ye Yuan furious and perplexed.


    Now the truth came to light, Ji Canglan was actually a fiend race spy.


    But even so, he and this member of the fiend race had been 500 years of apprentice brothers too.


    Ye Yuan''s current emotion could not be said to not be complicated.


    Only after a long time did Ye Yuan walked out from surge of emotions.


    At this time, he changed back to that calm and collected Ye Yuan again. It was just that his concern towards Yue Mengli did not lessen in the slightest.


    "Li-er, I thought ��"


    Mentioning this, Yue Mengli''s expression dimmed too.


    After all, the Yue Family suffered grievous losses in this unexpected turn of events and was even almost completely wiped out.


    Yue Mengli recounted the matters of Bright Moon''s change on that day as well as afterward, making Ye Yuan secretly heave a sigh of relief at getting lucky too.


    He also did not think that the Innate Battle Soul Physique was actually so powerful.


    "They said that you �� you fell onto the demonic path. Along the way, it worried Li-er to death!" said Yue Mengli, who had some lingering fear as she explained it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What they said was right. Just one more step, and I might not even be able to recognize you anymore!"


    Yue Mengli was alarmed in her heart. Only then did she know that Sun Man''s words were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    Did not expect that Bright Moon''s change actually brought such peril to Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Yue Mengli''s upset look, Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You lass, what''s with this expression? Could it be that I''d be foolish enough to blame this matter on you? Between Ji Canglan and me, we both understand the other too well. Hence, that''s why he would use this kind of despicable means to trigger me to fall into depravity."


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s brows suddenly furrowed.


    When Yue Mengli noticed Ye Yuan''s abnormality, she even thought that it was in the sequela left behind in battle earlier and hurriedly asked Ye Yuan, "What''s wrong with you? Are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing. It''s just �� since you''re already fine, why is my heart still shrouded in a layer of shadow?"


    "This �� Would it be because of the matter with the fiend race?" Li-er said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You don''t know. I comprehended Sudden Impulse. Even though the matter of the fiend race is serious, it''s not to the point of triggering Sudden Impulse. The reason why I could rush to Bright Moon City is because of setting off Sudden Impulse. But now ��"


    Ji Canglan was dead, Li-er was safe and sound. Logically speaking, Sudden Impulse should be allayed. But the shadow in Ye Yuan''s heart was still unable to disperse away.


    "Not good, let''s hurry back to take a look!" Ye Yuan said anxiously.


    ...


    Half a month later, when Ao Qian and the rest saw Ye Yuan, a large stone in their hearts finally landed.


    "Young Master, you finally came back!"


    When Lu-er saw Ye Yuan, under her agitated feelings, she leaped right into Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    Li-er was aware of Ye Yuan and Lu-er''s relationship. From a certain degree, it was even more intimate compared to her.


    Furthermore, Li-er''s temperament was indifferent and naturally would not have superfluous thoughts.


    On the contrary, Yue Mengli was more grateful towards Lu-er.


    If without Lu-er, Ye Yuan would probably have long fallen into depravity already now.


    "Milord, it''s great that you''re fine! These few days, we were worried to death!" Ao Qian stepped forward and greeted.


    Including the sparse survivors of the Yue Family, they also returned to the dragon clan under Wu Luo''s command.


    Letting go of Lu-er, Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone, but his brows knitted together.


    The people that he was familiar with and cared about were not missing a single one. All of them were here.


    Even the Yue Family and the Yue Jianqiu, Yue Lingyu, who were close to him, were completely unscathed.


    If so, where in the world was his Sudden Impulse pointing at?


    "Nothing �� happened here, right?"


    Ye Yuan uttered a sentence that made everyone baffled.


    Ao Qian was stupefied and said, "Nothing. We listened to your order and stayed at the dragon clan the whole time. After that, Wu Luo also brought the Bright Moon City''s city lord over. It was calm and peaceful all the way after that."


    Hearing Ao Qian''s words, Ye Yuan was hit by a wave of inexplicable vexation, but could not find the source of the irritation. He only felt like his chest was about to explode.


    Yue Mengli stepped forward and lightly held Ye Yuan''s hands, and she calmed him down, saying, "Since everybody is safe and sound, perhaps there are other reasons? Since we''re here, stay and make the best use of it to calm your heart down to think about it these past two days. Maybe there will be some gains."


    Hearing Yue Mengli''s words, only then did Ye Yuan''s heart calm down slightly. He said with a sigh, "I can only do this as well."

 1176 Explosive News

    "Hey, did you hear? The Medicine King Hall was uprooted overnight. Now, it has already utterly fallen into pieces!"


    "No way, right? Prior to this, the Heavenly Sword Sect''s sect master personally took action, Void Mystic powerhouses came swarming into full force, but they returned in great defeat. The Heavenly Sword Sect was like this, who else can do it to such an extent? Could it be �� the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King personally took action?"


    "Heh, ignorant and ill-informed much? The Heaven''s Secrets Tower''s news already came out. It was done by Ji Canglan''s junior brother, Qingyun Zi! Furthermore, he slaughtered the Medicine King Hall''s experts clean. Ji Canglan died under Ji Qingyun''s sword too!"


    "Hiss �� I''ve long heard that Ji Qingyun''s Martial Dao in this life is very strong. But this is also too ludicrously strong, right? In a short 20-something years time, he grew from a Lower Realms'' martial artist to such a terrifying powerhouse?"


    "Honestly speaking, when I heard this news, I didn''t dare to believe it either. But the Heaven''s Secrets Tower''s information has never been wrong before. Ji Qingyun''s strength has likely already reached the peak of Void Mystic Realm! He''s already very, very close to the boundary of the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    "The impression that Ji Qingyun gave people on Alchemy Dao was too deep, resulting in everybody overlooking his Martial Dao talent. I didn''t think that his Martial Dao talent is actually so heaven-defying too! Speaking of which, the Medicine King Hall acted furtively these few years, but they were more and more contrary acting against people''s will when doing things, annihilating an entire sect at the drop of a hat. This action of Ji Qingyun is also considered executing justice on heaven''s behalf."


    ...


    Such scenes of discussion took place at every corner of the Divine Realm.


    The complete collapse of a super holy land was absolutely an earth-shaking matter in the Divine Realm.


    Previously, when the Heavenly Sword Sect was virtually wiped out, it already added many topics of conversation for everyone in the world.


    But the Medicine King Hall''s destruction was clearly a better topic of conversation. For some time, it became the hot topic of the Divine Realm''s martial artists.


    It was just that up till now, there was still no one who realized at all, what kind of a malignant tumor Ye Yuan helped them to clean up.


    If this malignant tumor continued developing unchecked, it was sufficient to devour the entire Divine Realm.


    These martial artists were still living in their own world.


    But half a month later, the topic of Ye Yuan annihilating the Medicine King Hall was replaced by another heavyweight bomb!


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower announced a piece of even more explosive news. The new ranking of Ten Great Divine Kings was going to be published in the Holy City a month later!


    Furthermore, the Heaven''s Secret Tower spread the news out that this time, the Ten Great Divine Kings would have newly-ascended powerhouses, pushing out the original Ten Great Divine Kings!


    As for how many newcomers were there, the Heaven''s Secret Tower had a very secretive attitude.


    This topic drove people even crazier compared to Ye Yuan destroying the Medicine King Hall!


    This action of the Heaven''s Secret Tower clearly signified that the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings this time definitely had some changes!


    Furthermore, this change would not be small!


    One had to know that the Heaven''s Secret Tower published the first issue of the Ten Great Divine Kings 2000 years ago.


    Ever since then, apart from selling information, the Heaven''s Secret Tower no longer made changes to the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    The Ten Great Divine Kings practically became the Divine Realm''s strongest ten people.


    Positions as steady as Mount Tai.


    All the way until today, this arrangement was finally going to be broken!


    In the wake of newcomers joining, would a decisive battle that concerned reputation stir up among the Ten Great Divine Kings?


    Would the old batch of Ten Great Divine Kings challenge the newly-ascended Ten Great Divine Kings?


    Would the rankings among the Ten Great Divine Kings have changes or not?


    A series of questions became the major discussion that swept across the entire Divine Realm!


    Especially in the Holy City, this discussion reached an even more seething extent.


    In the streets and alleys, everyone was virtually discussing this matter.


    "Which newcomers do you guys think will be joining this issue of Ten Great Divine Kings?"


    "To talk about the newcomer whose cutting edge shows the most recently, I feel that it should be Ji Qingyun! He destroyed the high and mighty Medicine King Hall with his power alone. In terms of strength, it should be sufficient to rival the Ten Great Divine Kings, right?"


    "I think that''s far fetched! It''s true that the Medicine King Hall was destroyed, but Ji Qingyun''s Martial Dao foundation is too shallow in the end. How he destroyed the Medicine King Hall, nobody knows either! Isn''t it said that he has quite a few Void Mystic powerhouses by his side? I heard that there was a peak Void Mystic powerhouse following by his side in Tranquil Sun City. If I were to say, destroying the Medicine King Hall was most likely largely his credit!"


    "Apart from Ji Qingyun, I feel that it can only be some reclusive family''s powerhouses! The Xu, Hu, Chen, and Feng, four great families, have been isolated from the world for a long time. It should roughly be time to come into being as well."


    "Heh, don''t you forget, the last issue of Ten Great Divine Kings didn''t have ancient families'' disciples! They all obtained heaven-defying lucky chances, that''s how they transcended everything and became peerless powerhouses!"


    "En, what you said is right. This way, the selection of Ten Great Divine Kings this time is really baffling!"


    ...


    At this time, Ye Yuan, who was far away in the Demon Region, was indifferent to this news.


    Whatever ranking of Ten Great Divine Kings was merely empty reputation to Ye Yuan.


    Through the recuperation of over half a month, Ye Yuan already recovered from the Medicine King Hall battle.


    Along with the passage of time, that hint of shadow shrouding Ye Yuan''s heart also gradually relaxed vigilance.


    After all, the people who were related to him were currently all perfectly unscathed in front of him. This was enough.


    But on this day, the Spirit Bristle Divine King suddenly descended upon the dragon clan.


    The moment Teng Yun saw Ye Yuan, he scolded laughingly, "You brat, you''re also too reckless when doing things! Ji Canglan''s current strength is already not beneath Wang Huanzhou''s, but you actually went out to the Medicine King Hall by yourself without due consideration!"


    The name Wang Huanzhou out of Teng Yun''s mouth was the Iron Spear Divine King, who was ranked last among the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Him saying so, served to show that he quite approved of Ji Canglan''s strength.


    Teng Yun''s gaze never left Ye Yuan before, as if it was his first time knowing him.


    He was truly extremely surprised that Ye Yuan was able to massacre the entire Medicine King Hall.


    One had to know that not long ago, Ye Yuan still did not have the slightest strength to retaliate in front of Zhuge Qingxuan.


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan was actually already capable of killing an existence comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings by himself.


    Even if it was just the last place, it was also sufficient to see the terror of Ye Yuan''s improvement.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Putting aside my great hatred with him, just him daring to touch Li-er, this point is enough for him to die ten times over!"


    Ye Yuan''s thinking at that time was very simple, which was to kill people!


    This grudge, he was already unable to carry on enduring.


    Even if he was not fully confident at that time, he slaughtered up to the Medicine King Hall too.


    Teng Yun smiled and said, "Right now, there is a hubbub of discussion spreading outside that you''re going to enter the Ten Great Divine Kings this time. Looking at your appearance, seems like you aren''t patting yourself on the back at all!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he said smilingly, "Merely empty reputation. Even if I don''t enter the Ten Great Divine Kings, it also doesn''t mean that I''m inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings. Don''t you think so, Brother Teng?"


    Teng Yun smiled as he nodded his head and said, "Actually, the Ten Great Divine Kings are only the human territories'' Ten Great Divine Kings. It can''t represent the Divine Realm''s true strength. At the very least, this demon race has three people whose strength that even I have no assurance in prevailing over them."

 1177 Simple Task

    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows raised up, clearly rather surprised by Teng Yun''s words.


    He had always been very curious. If the present Demon Region was so weak, why the human race actually did not come over to annex the region?


    It turned out that the demon race''s strength was actually so terrifying.


    As expected, any race''s strength is not as simple as exhibited on the surface!


    The Demon Region''s foundation, even Ye Yuan, this former peak Alchemy Emperor actually did not know.


    Of course, the previous life''s him was not concerned about these either.


    "The demon race still has such mighty powers?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    Teng Yun nodded his head and said, "In this dragon clan, there''s one."


    Ye Yuan was stupefied when he heard that. The dragon clan had one?


    Ao Yong''s strength did not seem to be so terrifying, right?


    Teng Yun seemed to have seen through what Ye Yuan was thinking and said with a smile, "I know Ao Yong, it isn''t him. He''s the previous generation head elder. Who I''m talking about is the Azure Dragon Clan''s previous patriarch! Right now, he already doesn''t meddle in worldly affairs. Unless it''s a clan extermination crisis, otherwise, he won''t appear."


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart to no end. He really did not think that the dragon clan''s foundation was actually so deep.


    Really talking about it, wouldn''t the dragon clan''s old patriarch be even more impressive than Ao Qian?


    "Then the other two?" Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.


    "The other two, are not the Four Symbols Divine Beast clans'' powerhouses. One of them is a powerhouse of the Stone Ape clan, while the other is very mysterious. I''ve also only heard a little bit," Teng Yun said.


    Only then did Ye Yuan discover that his understanding of the Divine Realm was still truly too little.


    When he roamed the Demon Region back then, it was really somewhat the feeling of the ignorant had no fear.


    "Brother Teng, you''ve always been investigating the fiend race''s whereabouts. Do you know where in the world this Divine Martial Hall is at?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    Mentioning this Divine Martial Hall, Teng Yun''s brows knitted together too.


    "That fiend race''s major power is too terrifying. He''s incomparably cautious when doing things. Talking about it is shameful, even though the Divine Martial Hall has gradually risen to the surface, I really don''t know his whereabouts. Rather, the fiend race has several hidden underground lairs that I''ve already pretty much investigated," Teng Yun said.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh? About how much does Brother Teng know, no harm in saying. We can get started with these underground lairs!"


    Teng Yun nodded his head and said, "I had precisely this intent! I came to find you this time for precisely this objective as well! These few underground lairs are scattered too broadly. Wanting to wipe them out all at once still expends quite a bit of strength. Hence, I came to find you for help."


    Ye Yuan said excitedly, "Brother Teng, please say! Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo is already almost coming into being. Right now, we must seize every minute and second!"


    Teng Yun nodded his head and told Ye Yuan the information that he investigated one by one.


    According to what Teng Yun said, the few fiend race underground dens that he found were all in some inconspicuous small sects, concealed extremely deeply.


    But the underground lairs'' experts were not few!


    The fiend race''s powerhouses were much more numerous compared to powerhouses of the human race.


    Above holy sovereign, there was even a holy emperor rank. Fiends who possessed this form of address were all existences capable of contending against the Ten Great Divine Kings'' level of powerhouses!


    And this place that Teng Yun had Ye Yuan go to was called Moonhowl Sect, an unremarkable Rank Six Holy Land at the southern parts of the Divine Realm.


    Such a small place, nobody would go and pay attention at all normally.


    However, it was a stronghold of the fiend race!


    The places that Teng Yun found were all very important strongholds of the Divine Martial Hall. These places, at the very least, all had holy emperor rank powerhouses guarding.


    If not for Ye Yuan annihilating the Medicine King Hall with his power alone, he had no plans of letting Ye Yuan take part.


    Even so, the Moonhowl Sect that he made Ye Yuan go to was also one of the easiest places.


    According to Teng Yun''s investigations, Moonhowl Sect''s strongest person should be a holy sovereign powerhouse.


    To Ye Yuan, it should be a cinch.


    Even though it was a holy sovereign powerhouse, that was also Han Qing Zi that level of existence. The average person really could not take on this task.


    "Brother Teng, you''re also looking down on this younger brother too much! A mere holy sovereign can''t last one move under this Ye''s hands at all. Where''s the fun in going?" Ye Yuan said rather unhappily.


    This job was truly somewhat easy to Ye Yuan.


    If it were before, holy sovereign powerhouses were indeed too much for Ye Yuan to bear. But now, it was as easy as flipping his hand for Ye Yuan to want to kill holy sovereign powerhouses.


    Bloodsoul and the others under Ji Canglan were holy sovereign class powerhouses.


    The four of them joined hands and were directly felled by Ye Yuan in the end too.


    Teng Yun smiled and said, "Younger Brother, don''t look down on this mission. It''s said that Moonhowl Sect this stronghold is a stronghold specifically for the Divine Martial Hall to gather information. Your mission isn''t just to kill people. If there''s a possibility, you might even be able to find the location of the Divine Martial Hall''s lair! Therefore, your mission is actually the most important."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. Only then did his expression calm down slightly, and he said, "Huhu, that''s more like it! Relax, leave this matter to me."


    Teng Yun nodded and said, "At that time, I''ll send two helpers to you. How we target the fiend race''s actions in the future will be entrusted to you!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Brother Teng, no need to send people. Ao Qian the few of them, their strength is still pretty decent."


    But Teng Yun shook his head and said, "Don''t underestimate the fiend race''s intel! It''s too conspicuous for you to bring Ao Qian they all. It''s more suitable to bring my people."


    Ye Yuan thought about it and got the picture too. He nodded and said, "Alright."


    ...


    There were still two months away from the time the two people agreed upon.


    This period of time, Ye Yuan cast away all distracting thoughts and started diving into cultivation.


    Presently, Ye Yuan''s divine soul was already over half-transformed into golden color. His fleshy body also cultivated to late-stage already. Instead, his essence energy realm was still a very long distance away from peak divine king.


    When his Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths all broke through to the great circle of perfection realm, he would be able to refine the Dao Defying Pill and directly assault the Deity Realm!


    It was just that, the nine core medicines that the Dao Defying Pill required was still lacking three kinds at present.


    But two of them, the Immortal Orientale Grass and Cloud Exquisite Sunflower, Ye Yuan was not worried.


    Ye Yuan knew that these two kinds of spirit medicine were in the Demon Region!


    With the dragon clan''s strength, acquiring naturally would not expend too much effort.


    Except, the last kind of spirit medicine, Kunwu Flower, according to what Ye Yuan knew, only the Godsfall Mountain Range had it.


    Because this kind of flower grew on top of Kunwu Divine Wood.


    Disregarding the Godsfall Mountain Range''s dangers, just this Kunwu Divine Wood itself was dangerous to the extreme!


    Even with Ye Yuan''s current strength, facing the Kunwu Divine Wood, it boded ill rather than well.


    Those who had truly seen before Kunwu Divine Wood, all died! Not a single person came back before!


    "Looks like I must cultivate Essence, Energy, and Spirit all to the great circle of perfection within a year, then enter the Godsfall Mountain Range and find this Kunwu Divine Wood. Only on that day will I have a chance to thoroughly crush the fiend race. Sigh �� It''s another journey where life or death is hard to say!"


    A month later, Ye Yuan finally broke through to Eighth Level Dao Profound. He was only missing this last step away from Ninth Level Dao Profound, the Divine King Realm!


    And right at this time, the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s heavyweight bomb was finally thrown out!

 1178 Heaven Surmounting Divine King!

    "This is also too ridiculous, right? Ji Qingyun really became one of the Ten Great Divine Kings? Furthermore, he''s even rank six?"


    "What the hell is the Heaven''s Secret Tower doing? Brewing for 2000 years, they came up with such a lousy thing?"


    "Just based on annihilating an obsolete sect, one can enter the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings? When did the Ten Great Divine Kings become so worthless?"


    "It''s true that Ji Qingyun''s strength is decent, but to say that he''s able to rank at number six, I''m not convinced no matter what!"


    The new issue of Ten Great Divine Kings was finally fresh out of the press, but it stirred up a huge debate.


    The old issue of Ten Great Divine Kings in sequence were: Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, Zhuge Qingxuan; Spirit Bristle Divine King, Teng Yun; Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng; Soul Martial Divine King, Zhong Zizhen; Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang; Heavenly Book Divine King, Song Qiuyu; Single Chord Divine King, Li Tianyang; Profound Wind Divine King, Weng Yifan; Void Distance Divine King, Yi Xing; as well as Iron Spear Divine King, Wang Huanzhou.


    These Ten Great Divine Kings had always been viewed as the human race''s strongest!


    For 2000 years, this kind of concept was rooted deeply in people''s hearts.


    Someone among them being replaced, the people were virtually unable to accept it.


    And the new issue of Ten Great Divine Kings, apart from the top five who were as steady as Mount Tai, the last five position, the changes were huge.


    This result was being called into question!


    The new issue of Ten Great Divine Kings, sixth place, Heaven Surmounting Divine King, Ye Yuan; seventh place, Heavenly Book Divine King, Song Qiuyu; eighth place, Void Distance Divine King, Yi Xing; ninth place, Profound Wind Divine King, Weng Yifan; and tenth place, Violet Extreme Divine King, Duan Zhengxiao!


    The Ten Great Divine Kings actually had two people who were squeezed out!


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower announcing that there were newcomers joining, everyone thought that there was only one person.


    No one would have thought that two were actually swapped out all of a sudden!


    If the Violet Extreme Divine King, Duan Zhengxiao, ranked as the tenth divine king, everyone was still able to accept it.


    About Ye Yuan rising as the sixth divine king in one go, this was something that everyone was unable to accept no matter what.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s title was rather different from the others.


    ''Heaven Surmounting'' this title, was even more domineering than ''Heaven Stabilizing''!


    This title was not anyhow given.


    The Ten Great Divine Kings'' titles were either the area they were skilled in, or the inheritance that they obtained, or that �� their comprehensive strength was exceptionally formidable!


    And Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s title was because his comprehensive strength was exceedingly powerful.


    But Ye Yuan''s title, ''Heaven Surmounting,'' it seriously made people somewhat scratched their heads in puzzlement.


    Furthermore, his ranking actually surpassed the Heavenly Book Divine King right away. This made people even more unable to understand.


    Of course, apart from Ye Yuan, the Violet Extreme Divine King Duan Zhengxiao that suddenly emerged, also made everyone very curious.


    Before this, nobody had heard of such a character before at all.


    But for him to be able to push out the Single Chord Divine King and Iron Spear Divine King, his strength definitely could not be underestimated.


    Rather, the Void Distance Divine King''s strength seemed to have a considerable breakthrough again, and actually overpowered the Profound Wind Divine King, becoming the eighth divine king.


    At this time, inside the Holy City''s Heaven''s Secret Tower, a distinguished guest was welcomed. It was the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King Zhuge Qingxuan!


    Separated by a black curtain, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King said to the person behind it, "Is the Ten Great Divine Kings Ranking published by your esteemed tower this time ill-considered? That Ye Yuan, this seat has exchanged blows with him before. He''s completely a trash that fails to make the cut! Just the likes of him is able to enter the Ten Great Divine Kings too?"


    Although the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s tone was somewhat sullen, he still maintained restraint.


    He knew that that mysterious powerhouse behind the black curtain, even he could not figure out as well.


    Inside this Holy City, Zhuge Qingxuan could be said to have everything under control.


    Only this Heaven''s Secret Tower was a thorn in his heart.


    Talking about over 2000 years ago, Heaven''s Secret Tower''s entrance was very domineering!


    At that time, Zhuge Qingxuan still did not have ''Heaven Stabilizing,'' this title, and was also not deep like the ocean at present.


    At that time, he was still daring and high-spirited. Towards this mysterious organization that ventured in domineeringly, he naturally turned his nose up at it.


    But he did not even see the face of this mysterious powerhouse and already retreated in defeat.


    Towards that mysterious old man behind the curtain that he had never seen before, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was incomparably apprehensive.


    Even if 2000 years had already passed now, and his strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath too.


    Behind the black curtain came an aged and turbid voice. "Times have changed."


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s brows furrowed, clearly very displeased with this answer.


    From Ye Yuan leaving the Holy City, just how much time had passed?


    Ye Yuan''s strength already improved to such a degree?


    Then, what did all his years of bitter cultivation count for?


    "Then �� this ''Heaven Surmounting'' title, what does that mean?" the Heaven Surmounting Divine King asked again.


    Staying silent for a second, a voice came from behind the black curtain once more. "Heaven''s secrets, they cannot be divulged! Very soon, you''ll understand."


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King gave a cold snort and said crossly, "Humph! Your esteemed self is still pretending to be mysterious just as before!"


    The other party was silent. For some time, it was somewhat awkward.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King appeared slightly embarrassed and said with furrowed brows, "I hope that the Heaven''s Secret Tower will strike Ye Yuan''s name off the Ten Great Divine Kings. For this, the Holy City can pay a corresponding price!"


    "Heaven''s secrets are heaven''s secrets. They are not to be changed!" the aged voice echoed again, not giving the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King the least bit of face.


    Regarding Ye Yuan being chosen, Zhuge Qingxuan was very displeased.


    Ye Yuan almost annihilated the entire Holy City''s Dao legacy with his strength along.


    Even though those people were all ant-like existences to Zhuge Qingxuan, this face was slapped resoundingly.


    Therefore, upon hearing that Ye Yuan was actually selected for the Ten Great Divine Kings, Zhuge Qingxuan was very ticked off.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was not an amiable person in the end.


    Seeing the other party not giving the slightest bit of face, he was finally enraged.


    "Humph! Your esteemed self set up the Heaven''s Secret Tower in my Holy City, but won''t even give this bit of face! This face wants to take a look today, at just what your true face looks like!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan gave an angry shout. The Brahma Heart Sutra already revolved, grabbing towards the black curtain.


    Chiii!


    Right as Zhuge Qingxuan grabbed the black curtain, a pale light halo rose up, and actually bounced Zhuge Qingxuan back!


    "Not seeing you out."


    Behind the black curtain, that aged voice sounded out once more, neither too fast nor too slow, commanding awe without being furious!


    Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.


    He hid his palm inside his sleeves, but it was already numb.


    Zhuge Qingxuan never thought that 2000 years had already passed, he actually still could not even see the other party''s face!


    ...


    On this day, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.


    "Milord, you''re truly too incredible! Heaven Surmounting Divine King, this name is domineering! Hahaha ��" Jiang Taicang said with an excited look.


    "Something that others use several thousand years before accomplishing, His Excellency only used less than 30 years and achieved it! Milord, at present, you''re the Divine Realm''s most scalding hot powerhouse!"


    Inclusive of Ao Qian, when they heard this news, they were all shocked to the core.


    They never would have thought that His Excellency''s strength was actually already horrifyingly to the max!


    Back then, when they followed Ye Yuan, they more or less still somewhat looked down on Ye Yuan in their hearts.


    But with the passing of time, the speed of them being brought into submission by Ye Yuan would virtually increase every minute and every second.


    Ye Yuan still had not figured out the situation, but he also picked out that he �� seemed to have really entered the Ten Great Divine Kings!

 1179 Challenge

    "''Heaven Surmounting,'' this is my title? It sounds like it''s pretty good."


    Ye Yuan mulled over his own title for a bit and felt rather satisfied still.


    It was just that he was somewhat curious about what on earth the Heaven''s Secret Tower was basing on to determine the caliber of strength.


    "More than just pretty good! I reckon that Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s face is definitely green! He''s just ''Heaven Stabilizing,'' but Your Excellency tower above the heavens! This disparity is not just a tiny bit! Hahaha ��" Jiang Taicang said with a loud laugh.


    With him laughing, the others also started chortling with laughter.


    These people were all very unhappy with that overweeningly arrogant appearance of Zhuge Qingxuan.


    Back then, if not for the Spirit Bristle Divine King making it in time, Ye Yuan would definitely have already died in his hands.


    Therefore, this group of people all had a feeling of being bound by a common hatred for the enemy.


    Now, Ye Yuan entered the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Not only was he ranked sixth, he even obtained a ''Heaven Surmounting'' title. That Zhuge Qingxuan was definitely repulsed to death.


    In truth, they also guessed correctly.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was indeed very repulsed right now.


    "What changes did the Ten Great Divine Kings have, let me hear about it," Ye Yuan asked.


    Although he did not have any feelings regarding being chosen for the Ten Great Divine Kings, this did not hinder him in paying a little attention to the status changes of the Divine Realm''s apex powerhouses.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s question, Jiang Taicang took the initiative to volunteer and told Ye Yuan about the status changes without omitting any details.


    After Ye Yuan heard, he was very surprised too.


    But when he heard Sikong Shang''s name, a cold light flashed past in his eyes.


    Putting aside the grudge of that one palm on that day, the matter of him refining You Wuya into a clone was sufficient for Ye Yuan to have killing intent aroused.


    Ye Yuan''s feelings toward the Tranquil Cloud Sect were very deep. You Wuya was the Tranquil Cloud Sect''s founding ancestor, but he ended up as one of his clones. This made Ye Yuan unable to accept it.


    Even though he had never met You Wuya, his Sword Dao Concept had half that was inherited from him.


    This grudge, he must avenge!


    Ye Yuan already secretly made up his mind, when the mission this time was over, he would go find the Darkness Divine King to settle this score properly!


    The few people were currently chatting when Ao Duo suddenly wanted to see Ye Yuan.


    Meeting Ye Yuan once again, Ao Duo felt mixed feelings too.


    Back then, the dragon clan wanted the Sacred Dragon Token back from Ye Yuan. Both parties almost came to blows.


    The Ye Yuan at that time was still just a genius who astounded others.


    But just a few years of not seeing, Ye Yuan already matured into a powerhouse that looked down upon the world that even he had to look up to!


    Especially when he knew that Ye Yuan comprehended divine rank dragon wave, the astonishment in his heart could be imagined!


    Actually, in his heart, he already acknowledged Ye Yuan''s identity as the dragon lord.


    To be able to cultivate dragon wave to divine rank, if one was still not able to be called the dragon lord, he was unable to answer to his subjects at all.


    "Dragon Lord!" Ao Duo gave a bow respectfully.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Patriarch doesn''t have to be so courteous. You''re still the patriarch, just call me Ye Yuan will do. I wonder what Patriarch came to find this Ye for?"


    His tone was very calm, but it exuded prestige that left no room for doubt.


    Ao Duo did not insist either and said, "Young Master Ye, there are many powerhouses outside the clan wanting to challenge you. They said ��"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just say what''s on your mind."


    "They said that Young Master Ye, you''re not fit to enter the Ten Great Divine Kings!" Ao Duo said cautiously.


    "This bunch of self-righteous fools!" Ao Qian said in a cold voice.


    "A bunch of things that don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. They haven''t met a true genius before," Jiang Taicang also grumbled.


    Toward this, Ye Yuan did not care a whit and said with a faint smile, "No need to care about them. As long as they don''t cause trouble, up to them to say what they like. This young master isn''t so free as to prove my strength to them. Ao Qian, you go outside and stand guard. If anybody causes trouble, no need to pull punches."


    Ao Qian received the order and said, "Yes, Milord!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan was disdainful to stoop to the level of those so-called geniuses. But ever since after the Heaven''s Secret Tower published the news, the human martial artists that headed to the dragon clan''s totem territory to raise a clamor outside became more and more.


    Five days later, the powerhouses that gathered outside the dragon clan actually already reached a hundred people!


    Among these 100 people, the weakest was a Void Mystic powerhouse too.


    But these people mostly did not look too old. They should all be young geniuses.


    If not for this news that the Heaven''s Secret Tower announced, one would probably not know that there were actually so many Void Mystic powerhouses in the Divine Realm.


    Of course, the Divine Realm was too large. Reclusive sects and ancient families were too many to count.


    Super holy lands were merely the strength on the surface.


    The Divine Realm had trillions of martial artists. Such a vast number, the void mystic powerhouses naturally would not be just that few.


    What was truly few were the pinnacle powerhouses.


    Because Divine Dao inheritances were too few!


    "Ye Yuan, you coward! If you have the capabilities, come out and accept our challenge!"


    "An Eighth Level Dao Profound actually dare proclaim to be of the Ten Great Divine Kings! How is your skin so thick?"


    "If you don''t have strength, don''t put on an act in front of people! Hurry up and announce to the world, voluntarily withdraw from the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    ...


    When Ao Qian heard those words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.


    If not for Ye Yuan warning in advice, he would have long flung a tight slap over.


    Where did this snotty brat come from, truly, the ignorant were fearless.


    These so-called powerhouses, His Excellency could poke them to death with one finger. To actually dare raise such a hue too.


    Suddenly, his brows raised up. A feeling of danger welled up in his heart.


    Not just him, those young powerhouses clamoring clearly all detected it too.


    A middle-aged man strolled over in the air leisurely, bringing along an extremely terrifying aura!


    He came before Ao Qian and said coolly, "Call Ye Yuan out. I''m here to challenge him."


    Facing this middle-aged man, Ao Qian actually had a feeling of palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    In this world, those capable of making him have such a feeling were clearly not simple people.


    But Ye Yuan said before not to let these people disturb him. Ao Qian still carried out the order loyally, saying coolly, "His Excellency is in closed-seclusion and isn''t free to take on challenges!"


    That middle-aged man did not reveal a surprised look. He said just indifferently, "If he''s not coming out, I can only go in to find him!"


    Finished talking, he lifted his foot and walked towards inside the totem territory, directly disregarding Ao Qian.


    The middle-aged man''s haughty attitude also thoroughly infuriated Ao Qian. His figure moved, directly blocking in front of the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man did not say a word. A palm wormed out like a ghost, directly smacking towards Ao Qian!


    Bang!


    This palm actually directly ignored Ao Qian''s divine king domain, smacking onto his chest!


    "Puhwark ��"


    Ao Qian immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood, his body flying out horizontally.


    Seeing this scene, the dragon clan''s powerhouses'' expressions changed drastically.


    While those experts who came to challenge Ye Yuan all revealed an expression of taking pleasure in other people''s misfortune.


    This time, a tough character finally came!


    Even for the Azure Dragon Clan, wanting to deal with this middle-aged man was likely somewhat enough to choke on, right?


    This middle-aged man''s strength was indeed very strong. That palm just now was incomparably bizarre. Not a single one of them actually saw clearly how the other party attacked!

 1180 Show Mercy

    "Haha, beautifully done! This guy is too arrogant! Teach him a good lesson!"


    "Ye Yuan is a scaredy-cat. We came to challenge him, and he actually doesn''t even dare to show face. With this, his true form is going to be exposed, right?"


    "Hey, what''s your name? Your strength is so formidable! In my view, you should be the one entering the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    These people were continuously blocked outside by Ao Qian. They were naturally unhappy in their hearts.


    Seeing Ao Qian being beaten until he spat blood at this time, each and every one of them all started gloating over others'' misfortune.


    That middle-aged man also felt pleased with himself inwardly when he saw that he was receiving everyone''s praises.


    Through over 2000 years of development, the Ten Great Divine Kings already became the symbol of holiness in the Divine Realm''s martial artists'' hearts.


    They were every martial artist''s idol and also the goal that each martial artist strove towards.


    Because the Ten Great Divine Kings were the Divine Realm''s true absolute summit!


    This middle-aged man was naturally here, aiming for fame too.


    "Cao Yunzhi!" the middle-aged man uttered his own name indifferently, having the demeanor of an expert.


    This name, naturally nobody heard of it before.


    But he believed that starting from today, this name would be known by the entire Divine Realm!


    The Ten Great Divine Kings were also nothing more than this!


    Over a thousand years ago, Cao Yunzhi obtained a Divine Dao inheritance by chance and entered closed-seclusion to cultivate ever since.


    Who would have thought that the moment he exited seclusion, he got the news of Ye Yuan pulling off an upset and entering the Ten Great Divine Kings?


    He immediately realized that his chance to make a name for himself came!


    As long as he defeated Ye Yuan, he would naturally have the qualifications to replace Ye Yuan, becoming one of the Ten Great Divine Kings!


    Therefore, he came.


    "Just the likes of you wish to get in my way too?" Cao Yunzhi shot him a contemptuous glance and said coolly.


    The whole process of this palm was incomparably strange from beginning to end. It was simply impossible for Ao Qian to guard against.


    But being looked down upon by a snotty brat, Ao Qian''s chest was simply about to explode.


    "Grandpa Ao will fight it out with you!"


    Ao Qian gritted his teeth. The power of his divine king domain opened up fully, charging over towards Cao Yunzhi.


    Who knew that Cao Yunzhi was completely condescending toward Ao Qian and said with a scornful look, "Already spared you from death just now. Since you''re seeking death yourself, this Cao will send you off!"


    Done talking, Cao Yunzhi''s peculiar palm appeared once more!


    Ao Qian''s pupils constricted. A feeling of incredible danger welled up in his heart.


    This palm was absolutely a lethal palm!


    Wanting to avoid it but Cao Yunzhi''s palm followed closely like a shadow. It was simply unavoidable!


    "It''s over just like this?" Ao Qian thought helplessly.


    He also did not think that after seeing the light of day anew, the strength of this Divine Realm''s martial artist was actually formidable to such a degree already.


    A person that randomly came out, he was already not a match.


    Looks like these 20 thousand years really held him up for too long!


    Cao Yunzhi saw Ao Qian''s expression of resigning himself to fate, but he did not show the slightest hint of stopping.


    Killing people to establish power, this was what he currently had in mind!!


    But right at this time, a surge of killing intent suddenly locked onto him.


    The countenance of Cao Yunzhi, who realized the danger changed, his figure retreating explosively.


    When he looked again, there was already an additional youth by Ao Qian''s side.


    The young man was currently looking at him, killing intent faintly arising.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Cao Yunzhi was stupefied. Soon after, a surge of anger from humiliation welled up in his heart.


    He was actually scared into retreat by an Eighth Level Dao Profound youth!


    Ye Yuan frowned as he looked at Ao Qian, and suddenly made a move like lightning, tapping on his body.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ao Qian spat out a mouthful of congealed blood, his complexion immediately becoming much rosier.


    "What a vicious palm art. Was he the one who injured you?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Ao Qian slowly nodded his head, then bent his body and gave a bow towards Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s actions, Cao Yunzhi''s expression changed.


    Not only was his palm art incomparably profound, it even contained hidden force, injuring people imperceptibly.


    He comprehended for over a thousand years before having a preliminary understanding of this Divine Dao law.


    He did not expect that not only did Ye Yuan see through with one glance, he even resolved it effortlessly.


    "Who are you, boy? To actually dare intervene in this Cao''s affairs!" Cao Yunzhi looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly.


    "You don''t even recognize me and actually dare to come and challenge me? Truly, the ignorant are fearless!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cao Yunzhi''s expression changed, and he said in surprise, "You''re Ye Yuan? I heard that you''re only Seventh Level Dao Profound. Didn''t think that you broke through so quickly!"


    But Ye Yuan did not pay attention to his surprise and said grimly, "Scram! Before I change my mind!"


    This Cao Yunzhi was clearly someone who obtained a Divine Dao legacy. The fiend race crisis was about to erupt soon, such a person could be considered a talent.


    Hence, even though Ye Yuan had killing intent aroused, he did not make a move to kill.


    The moment Cao Yunzhi heard, he was tickled.


    Even though he came into being not long, he was not a fledgling. How could he be scared away by a sentence from Ye Yuan?


    "Hahaha, boy, I admit that you''re rather different. But entering the rankings of the Ten Great Divine Kings, you''re not qualified enough yet! An Eighth Level Dao Profound actually entered the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings, this is simply a joke!" Cao Yunzhi suddenly let out a roaring laugh.


    Cao Yunzhi''s words made those geniuses guffaw with laughter to no end.


    "Haha, yeah, Eighth Level Dao Profound isn''t even Divine King. To actually dare proclaim as one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, truly no sense of shame."


    "A measly Eighth Level Dao Profound actually dare threaten Brother Cao, truly have no idea of death or danger!"


    "Said it long ago, this guy is completely undeserved reputation! Even if an Eighth Level Dao Profound was strong, how strong could he be?"


    ...


    But Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with these ridicules. He looked at Cao Yunzhi nonchalantly and suddenly said, "This young master already gave you a chance!"


    "Give ��"


    Cao Yunzhi only had time to say a word and already lost sight of Ye Yuan''s figure.


    Alarm bells suddenly sounded!


    Except, it was already too late!


    "ARGH!!"


    A miserable cry sounded out. Cao Yunzhi''s wrist was severed off!


    Ye Yuan looked at Cao Yunzhi coldly and said, "You should be rejoicing that Ao Qian is fine. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be a hand so simple."


    Cao Yunzhi was in pain until he sweated profusely, fresh blood spouting wildly from his wrist area.


    His wrist was chopped off by a divine artifact. Wanting to stop the bleeding was not that simple.


    "Also, you all, want to challenge me, sure. But you need to be prepared to die!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze swept over those geniuses.


    The group of originally incomparably noisy geniuses was utterly silent at this time.


    Just now, not a single one of them saw clearly how Ye Yuan attacked.


    Just a blink of an eye, and Cao Yunzhi''s hand was gone!


    Such means were simply appalling to the ear.


    One had to know that Cao Yunzhi injured the peak Void Mystic Ao Qian to severe injuries with one palm just now.


    But Cao Yunzhi could not even withstand one move in front of Ye Yuan!


    Everyone glanced around, looking at each other, all uncertain what they should do.


    Only at this time did they know that for Ye Yuan to be able to enter the list of Ten Great Divine Kings was not an undeserved reputation!


    "Heaven Surmounting Divine King, indeed powerful! This art of greater teleportation, probably only the Void Distance Divine King can compare in the Divine Realm, right?"


    Right then, a euphonious voice sounded out.


    In the void, a young figure walked out slowly.


    Seeing the arrival, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed.


    "Huhu, I''m Duan Zhengxiao. Coming here this time, it is specially to seek guidance from Heaven Surmounting Divine King," the young man said smilingly with clasped hands.

 1181 Displaying Strength!

    Violet Extreme Divine King!


    Everyone did not expect that the newly-ascended Violet Extreme Divine King of the Ten Great Divine Kings actually came to challenge Ye Yuan too!


    This time, it was interesting.


    "Please return, not interested!"


    Ye Yuan forcefully threw down a sentence, turned around, and left.


    Duan Zhengxiao''s expression darkened, immediately turning into an arc of violet light, howling towards Ye Yuan.


    Greater teleportation!


    But Duan Zhengxiao struck thin air.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, "This young master isn''t free to play this kind of competing game with you all! If you keep on pressing people, don''t blame this young master''s sword for showing no mercy!"


    Truthfully speaking, Ye Yuan was very annoyed with these guys.


    The calamity of the fiend race was about to erupt soon. These few guys actually even fought here and there for some empty reputation. No idea what was the point.


    Once the two great heavenly fiendgods recovered strength, even Zhuge Qingxuan could only be a slightly larger ant too.


    The rest were completely not enough to look at!


    But Duan Zhengxiao smiled and said, "Why does Brother Ye have to be like this? This Duan is only finding you to have a spar. Why is there a need to push people a thousand miles away? Or is it �� apart from this art of greater teleportation, the rest �� is all undeserved reputation? Is the Heaven Surmounting Divine King just a fleeing divine king?"


    But the moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled.


    "Such a third-rate goading technique, your esteemed self is truly looking down on this Ye too much! Whatever Heaven Surmounting Divine King, that''s just the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s own wishful thinking. The thing that you, the Violet Extreme Divine King, regards highly, isn''t even a fart in this Ye''s eyes!"


    "Heh, talk is cheap! If you really don''t care, why not come forward right away to deny it? Other people are fishing for fame and praise, are you cracking yourself up to be a clear stream? What a joke!" Duan Zhengxiao mocked.


    Ye Yuan discovered that he was completely unable to communicate with this guy.


    He had ulterior motives, viewing everybody as harboring evil intentions.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about him anymore. He just said indifferently, "Whatever makes you happy! Three days! I''ll only give you all three days'' time! If you''re still clamoring here, kill without mercy! Ao Qian, let''s go!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Ao Qian back to the dragon clan.


    Duan Zhengxiao''s expression flickered incessantly but did not have the courage to chase after.


    Even though the dragon clan declined, people who slightly had a bit of experience were all aware that such a major clan had extremely deep foundations and could not be provoked.


    To really charge into the dragon clan, Duan Zhengxiao really did not have that gall.


    But toward Ye Yuan''s threat, he did not take it to heart.


    He decided to wait for three days outside the dragon clan!


    He wanted to take a look if Ye Yuan really had some reliance or he was putting up a bold front!


    The big talk was already let out.


    Three days later, if Ye Yuan did not dare to come out, then he was outwardly strong and inwardly weak, completely nothing to fear.


    ...


    "Milord, this bunch of fellows are provoking like this, could it be that we''re letting it go just like this?" Ao Qian said rather indignantly.


    Reobtaining new life, Ao Qian discovered that the world was already completely different.


    The present 20 thousand years later, the experts were really too many!


    One that randomly came out almost slapped him to death with one palm.


    Fortunately, His Excellency helped him to take revenge.


    But Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and said, "If not for the fiend calamity''s eruption being near at hand, just based on him having killing intent towards you is already the death penalty! But right now, human powerhouses who are able to cultivate to such a boundary are too few already. It can be said that killing one means one less."


    Only hearing Ye Yuan said so did Ao Qian know his painstaking thoughts.


    That bit of unhappiness from before also vanished into thin air.


    Ao Qian had experienced the calamity 50 thousand years ago. Even though he did not join the battle at the front lines, the dreadfulness of the battle''s situation was fresh in his mind.


    Only all the way until some years back, when Long Teng spilled out the matters back then, did he know how treacherous that great battle 50 thousand years ago was.


    "Milord, Ao Qian was shortsighted and harbored resentment toward milord. Milord, please punish!" Ao Qian said as he blushed in shame.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s good that you can understand. This matter wasn''t your fault."


    ...


    In a twinkle, three days already passed. Those genius powerhouses did not leave. But they did not dare to approach the dragon clan anymore either, all hiding far away.


    Ye Yuan already used his strength and thoroughly awed these people.


    It was just that, they very much wanted to see just who was stronger or weaker between these two mighty newly ascended divine kings of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    "Ye Yuan still hasn''t come out until now. He wouldn''t really be making an empty show of strength, right?"


    "An empty show of strength? Didn''t you see when he cut off Cao Yunzhi''s hand, that ruthlessness? Such an existence is already not what you and I can pry into!"


    "True! But this Violet Extreme Divine King is an existence on the same level as Ye Yuan. Even if there''s a gap, it wouldn''t be that large either, right?"


    "En, makes sense! If Ye Yuan is able to overwhelmingly defeat Duan Zhengxiao, that shows that the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s ranking shouldn''t be off. But if Ye Yuan just barely triumph, or is evenly-matched with Duan Zhengxiao, then this ranking still has exaggerations."


    A group of people discussed softly. This showdown between two great divine kings really drew people''s attention.


    These few days, quite a few people came to challenge Ye Yuan in succession too. But seeing such a line-up, how could each and every one of them still dare to be arrogant?


    Currently, outside the dragon clan, there was only Duan Zhengxiao''s solitary figure.


    "Looks like you still haven''t given up!"


    Ye Yuan''s cold voice sounded out. Everyone''s spirits were roused.


    The great battle was commencing!


    Duan Zhengxiao smiled slightly and said, "Have a match with me, and I''ll give up."


    Ye Yuan gave him an indifferent glance and said, "I''ll only unleash one move. There''s only life or death, no victory or defeat!"


    A mocking expression appeared on Duan Zhengxiao''s face, and he said, "Has this Duan ever been scared? Just go ahead and make your move!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head helplessly and sighed as he said, "You cultivated for many years before entering the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Truly can''t bear for you to die before your seat even warms up. But since you''re seeking death wholeheartedly, then this young master will send you off!"


    Toward Ye Yuan''s words, Duan Zhengxiao naturally turned a deaf ear to it.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s aura suddenly changed. Two terrifying surges of Divine Dao laws suddenly enveloped the entire space.


    Duan Zhengxiao''s expression changed greatly. All of a sudden, a violet light shone resplendently!


    Seeing that Ye Yuan had such an outrageous aura, how could Duan Zhengxiao still dare to conceal his abilities? A terrifying violet light instantly expanded out, like a divine king domain.


    This violet light looked dangerous to the extreme. It was not coincidental for him to be able to squeeze the Single Chord Divine King and Iron Spear Divine King out.


    However, facing the Violet Extreme Divine King''s violet light, Ye Yuan directly chose to ignore it!


    His Domain of Sword did not fear the violet light at all!


    "Divine domain!" Duan Zhengxiao cried out in shock.


    This time, he was really stunned, even fearful!


    He finally knew that Ye Yuan was not putting up a pompous but empty show of power with him, and even less joking around with him!


    Ye Yuan really had the ability to kill him!


    At this time, he very much wanted to repent towards Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan''s Fury Sword Fire Lotus was already unleashed!


    Two mighty Divine Dao laws intertwined together. They were virtually destructive energy.


    Duan Zhengxiao had a look of despair. He was unreconciled to it. He had just been chosen for the Ten Great Divine Kings for a couple of days.


    Could it be that he was dying just like this?


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern. The surrounding space became somewhat erratic and illusionary.


    Boom!


    A violent tremor occurred in the space, but Duan Zhengxiao was completely unscathed!

 1182 Provoking the Grand Yan Divine King!

    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, already guessing who the arrival was!


    In this Divine Realm, to be able to block his Fury Sword Fire Lotus with the power of array formations, who else could there be apart from the Grand Yan Divine King?


    A figure walked out from the void. His hair and beard were slightly white, with his complexion being ruddy. It was precisely the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng.


    "Younger Brother Ji, on account of my face, let him off the hook. How about it?" Lu Linfeng said with a slight smile.


    Lu Linfeng was very confident that Ye Yuan would definitely give him this face.


    After all, his relationship with Ye Yuan was still passable.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and suddenly said with a smile, "Can, but �� use the Formations Path Nine Scripts to exchange!"


    Lu Linfeng''s expression turned slightly stiff, clearly not expecting Ye Yuan to not show any due respect.


    The Formations Path Nine Scripts was the fruit of his life''s labor. How could he show it to people easily?


    "Younger Brother, must you press people like this?" Lu Linfeng said with a sigh.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I gave him the chance. He also said that he was prepared to die. I thought �� he was really prepared."


    Duan Zhengxiao''s expression alternated between green and red, blushing furiously by Ye Yuan''s one sentence.


    Prior to this, he said so because he thought that Ye Yuan''s strength could not make it.


    With his strength, even if he could not win, his life could still be preserved.


    It was just that, did not think that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so terrifying!


    If not for Lu Linfeng rushing over in time, he would probably not even have dregs remaining right now.


    "This matter, this Lu will be a peacemaker. Leave it at this!" Lu Linfeng''s words exuded prestige that left no room for doubt.


    The moment the number three divine king opened his mouth, the Divine Realm had to quake too.


    Matters that could let Lu Linfeng come forward were not many.


    His authority did not tolerate others'' provocation.


    Except, Lu Linfeng was merely an old acquaintance in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If I say no?"


    One sentence, and it made everyone''s faces change!


    "Domineering! No wonder Ye Yuan was titled as Heaven Surmounting Divine King. This domineeringness rides above the ninth heaven!"


    "The Grand Yan Divine King is a veteran Ten Great Divine King. Not taking action for many years, his strength right now is most likely even more unfathomable. The newly-ascended Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually dares to stroke his whiskers."


    "Haha, really getting more and more interesting! This trip wasn''t wasted! This match is too exciting!"


    ...


    When those genius powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of them was like injected with stimulants.


    They never dreamed that things would have such a dramatic change.


    The awe-inspiring newly-ascending tenth divine king, Violet Extreme Divine King, was actually almost instantly killed by the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    However, the Violet Extreme Divine King''s ranking was still slightly worse than the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s in any case.


    But now, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually provoked the Grand Yan Divine King!


    Actually, among the Ten Great Divine Kings had an unwritten saying: the divine king powerhouses ranked in the top five and from six to tenth had a chasm.


    But this saying was verified this time.


    Changes among the bottom five were so huge, but the top five people were as steady as Mount Tai.


    The strength of the Grand Yan Divine King, who was ranked third, was too terrifying.


    Such a terrifying attack from Ye Yuan earlier was actually extinguished by him without much effort.


    Even so, Ye Yuan still dared to sweep away his face like this!


    If the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and Grand Yan Divine King came to blows, it would shake the entire Divine Realm tomorrow.


    Reaching Lu Linfeng''s level, the majority did not show joy or anger on their faces.


    But his slightly narrowed eyes still could let people detect a hint of sullen anger.


    "Looks like the Heaven Surmounting Divine King achieved success at a young age and somewhat considers everyone beneath notice!" Lu Linfeng said coolly.


    "Looks like the Grand Yan Divine King is taking advantage of his seniority and doesn''t quite know how to conduct himself anymore!" Ye Yuan rebutted without the slightest politeness.


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath. This �� really squared up!


    A cold light flashed past in Lu Linfeng''s eyes. His tone gradually turning cold as he said, "Younger Brother Ji, you and I are also considered to have been friends. Do you really want to reach the point of losing all decorum?"


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Lu Linfeng, this young master is really somewhat inflated right now and want to seek guidance from you!"


    This time, Lu Linfeng was finally angered and opened his mouth to say, "As you wish!"


    The moment his voice faded, did not see Lu Linfeng take any action either, Ye Yuan and Lu Linfeng vanished before everyone''s eyes at the same time.


    When Ao Qian and the rest saw this scene, their hearts involuntarily leaped up.


    Coming out for so many years, they already knew what kind of existences the Ten Great Divine Kings were.


    They could not quite figure out why His Excellency was so brash, insisting on provoking the rank three Grand Yan Divine King.


    This opponent was not quite the same as in the past!


    Rather, it was Yue Mengli whose eyes swiveled around,with a hint of faint smile surfacing at the corners of her mouth. Clearly, she guessed Ye Yuan''s intentions.


    "Miss Li-er, what are you smiling about? Could it be that His Excellency really has confidence in beating the Grand Yan Divine King?" Ao Qian said in amazement.


    Li-er smiled and said, "In terms of strength, Big Brother Yuan shouldn''t be the Grand Yan Divine King''s match yet. But for the Grand Yan Divine King to want to defeat him, it''s probably not easy as well."


    Ao Qian and the rest were stupefied when they heard that. All were not quite sure what it meant.


    Ye Yuan''s vision blurred, and he fell into an array formation.


    Sensing the power of the array formation a little, Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Just sixfold array formation? My Grand Yan Divine King, you''re also looking down on people too much!"


    "Your Formations Dao strength, this Lu is all too clear. Sixfold array formation to deal with you is already plenty!"


    Lu Linfeng''s voice came from the void, but drifted from place to place, unable to determine his location at all.


    Lu Linfeng had once stayed at the Medicine King Hall for a considerable amount of time. In that period of time, Ye Yuan frequently exchanged what he learned with him as well.


    Therefore, Lu Linfeng was still very clear about Ye Yuan''s level.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s strength right now was very strong, Lu Linfeng judged that this sixfold array formation was already enough to deal with Ye Yuan.


    "Is that so?"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    He started breaking the formation!


    "It''s no use. The Formations Path Nine Scripts'' sixfold array formation superimposing, the power, it''s impossible even for Song Qiuyu to break it. You replaced him, even if your strength is stronger than him �� en?"


    Lu Linfeng was calm and certain that Ye Yuan could not break the array formation when his voice suddenly became incomparably surprised!


    "You �� How did you do it?"


    Lu Linfeng was unbelievably astonished. His Formations Dao could be said to be on completely different planes with the Divine Realm''s Formations Dao!


    Ding Zhanguo, who was hailed as the Divine Realm''s number two, at the very most only reached the level of his twofold array formations.


    If one''s strength was powerful and broke the formation by force, fivefold was already the limit for Ye Yuan''s level of strength!


    Sixfold, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to break it.


    But Ye Yuan did not break the formation by force.


    Ye Yuan was currently wrecking the formation base right now!


    The Formations Path Nine Scripts, each superimposing a layer of array formation, the power would rise more than several times.


    The difficulty of breaking it naturally went up several times too.


    Many array formations overlapping together, even a formations path master could not find where the formation base was at too.


    But Ye Yuan was actually making easy progress like he was experienced. In a blink, he already broke a layer of array formation!


    Lu Linfeng''s expression changed and was no longer able to be so calm like before.


    "Looks like I really underestimated you! Since that''s the case, don''t blame this Lu for disregarding old sentiments!"

 1183 Fated Person

    Everyone looked over. That area of space seemed to have nothing, completely transparent.


    But the undulations faintly leaking from inside made people incredibly alarmed.


    They knew that the Grand Yan Divine King and Heaven Surmounting Divine King were currently in the array formation, undergoing a fierce match of powers.


    All of a sudden, this surge of undulation intensified several times all at once!


    "En? What''s happening here? The power of the array formations seems to be strengthening!"


    "It''s said that the Grand Yan Divine King''s Formations Path Nine Scripts is able to evolve nine-by-nine, 81 peak Tier 9 array formations. These nine-by-nine, 81 array formations, all nine types superimposing together, is one script of the nine scripts. Dealing with average Void Mystic powerhouses, one script is sufficient. The undulations just now have probably already reached six scripts! Now �� it wouldn''t have already broken through to seven scripts, right?"


    "Don''t you all forget, Ye Yuan is a Tier 9 Array Emperor powerhouse too. His formations path is very impressive!"


    "Looks like the Heaven Surmounting Divine King caused considerable problems for the Grand Yan Divine King!"


    ...


    Sevenfold array formation superimposing, Ye Yuan immediately felt the pressure multiply!


    Even though Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao attainments were already extremely strong, compared to the Grand Yan Divine King who comprehended Formations Dao consistently over several thousands of years, he was still a grade inferior.


    However, Ye Yuan''s advantage lay in that he was very clear about Lu Linfeng''s series of tricks.


    The Formations Path Nine Scripts was originally the Array Formations Three Volumes'' advanced version. Even though the power could not be mentioned in the same breath, then again, the Array Formations Three Volumes was where the Formations Path Nine Scripts'' foundation lay.


    Ye Yuan obtained the Array Formations Three Volumes and had long grasped it thoroughly, deducing the Nine-Nine Illusionary Spirit Heaven Slaughter Formation from there!


    Although he could not break the Formations Path Nine Scripts, Lu Linfeng himself similarly felt incomparably flabbergasted.


    He thought that the sixfold Formations Path Nine Scripts was completely enough to deal with Ye Yuan. But he discovered to his dismay that his array formations were just like a hollow man in front of Ye Yuan.


    Those concealed killing mechanisms, Ye Yuan was actually able to see through at a glance!


    Sevenfold, still not enough!


    Eightfold, still not enough!


    "Tsk tsk, not seeing for many years, you, this old fellow''s Formations Dao, have taken great strides in progress again!" Ye Yuan said composedly.


    One sentence, nearly angered Lu Linfeng until he spat blood.


    "You brat, you are truly monstrous! What in the world did you experience over these 20 years? Not only has your Martial Dao reached the acme of perfection, but even Formations Dao also shows a great trend of catching up to this Lu as well! Forget it! Since even eightfold can''t do anything to you, I''ll let you have a taste of ninefold''s prowess!"


    When saying this, Lu Linfeng''s inner-heart was falling to pieces.


    For so many years, there was really no one who was able to force him to this extent.


    Who knew that when he was just about to display the ninefold Formations Path Nine Scripts, Ye Yuan suddenly said, "No need, I can''t withstand the ninth level. This matter ends here! That whatever Violet Extreme Divine King, you have him scram further away. Don''t come and provoke this young master. Otherwise, there''s no mercy under my sword!"


    Even with Lu Linfeng''s several thousand years of accumulation, he broke down due to Ye Yuan''s one sentence too.


    You say fight and we fight, you say stop and we stop?


    However, Lu Linfeng really stopped.


    He was very curious how on earth Ye Yuan accomplished it.


    He had long discovered that Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Formations Path Nine Scripts surpassed his imagination.


    It seemed to stem from the same line as him!


    He also discovered that Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao standards actually still had a very great difference compared to him.


    But Ye Yuan''s technique had the effects of overcoming a great force with little strength.


    The incomparably mysterious Formations Path Nine Scripts to everyone in the world seemed like a lady who stripped naked in front of Ye Yuan. It was without any secrets to speak of.


    Lu Linfeng''s figure emerged, his expression slightly dark as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, "You deliberately goaded me into taking action?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A mere Duan Zhengxiao, do you think I''ll place him in my sights?"


    Ye Yuan said these words rampantly, but he had the capital to be rampant.


    The high and mighty tenth divine king in other people''s eyes was merely a rookie who could be one-shotted at any time in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    "Where did you learn the Formations Path Nine Scripts from?" Lu Linfeng said grimly.


    "I say, when I made you impart me the Formations Path Nine Scripts back then, you cherished your own old broomstick. You probably never would have dreamed that I would obtain the Formations Path Nine Scripts'' legacy, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Lu Linfeng''s expression changed, and he said in shock, "So, you reincarnated in the Endless World!"


    With Ye Yuan saying so, how could he still not understand?


    The Array Formations Three Volumes, he only left it in the Endless World''s Grand Yan True Sect.


    Ye Yuan obtaining the inheritance, he definitely reincarnated in the Endless World.


    The expression on Lu Linfeng''s face was very fascinating. He never would have dreamed that in an accident arising from many causes, Ye Yuan actually reincarnated in his hometown, and even obtained his Formations Dao inheritance.


    Seeing Lu Linfeng''s expression, Ye Yuan was secretly pleased inwardly.


    This guy, back then he pestered and begged him incessantly, his profound and inscrutable appearance made Ye Yuan very displeased.


    When he obtained the Array Formations Three Volumes back then, Ye Yuan fantasized about Lu Linfeng''s expression today.


    Now, seeing that he indeed had an expression of having eaten a fly, Ye Yuan wished to roar with laughter.


    "You left behind three volumes of stone books back then, awaiting a fated person. You probably never dreamed that this fated person was actually me, right?" Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Lu Linfeng was speechless.


    "Oh, right, also this!"


    Ye Yuan held up his palm. The mini Vast Heaven Stele appeared in his palm.


    Lu Linfeng''s expression turned intent, and he said in amazement, "Vast Heaven Stele! You �� You actually obtained the Vast Heaven Stele! Then the Vast Heaven Pagoda ��"


    A light flashed on Ye Yuan''s palm. The Vast Heaven Stele flew into a small pagoda. It was precisely the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    "Right now, I''m the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s owner!" Ye Yuan said with a wide grin on his face.


    Lu Linfeng was again speechless.


    He seriously had nothing to say. This brat was here to repulse him on purpose.


    Back then, he only made it to the seventh level in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Ye Yuan actually directly pulled the Vast Heaven Pagoda up by the roots.


    He left behind the Array Formations Three Volumes, awaiting a fated person, wanting to accept the person as his disciple. But this person was actually Ye Yuan!


    This �� This was truly fate making a mockery of men!


    Only after a long time did Lu Linfeng let out a long sigh and said, "Is the Grand Yan True Sect still alright? In a twinkle, several thousand years went by. I even forgot that I had once left behind this inheritance. I didn''t think that ��"


    When Lu Linfeng ascended to the Divine Realm, it was actually a bumpy road too.


    No matter how talented the person, being able to reach Lu Linfeng''s kind of height, they were bound to have suffered considerable trials.


    When he truly rose up and became a notable figure of the Divine Realm, it was already 2000 years later.


    At that time, the Grand Yan True Sect was already just an ant-like existence. He would not go and pay attention at all.


    But now, hearing Ye Yuan mentioned the Grand Yan True Sect, it involuntarily stirred up Lu Linfeng''s memory.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "The Grand Yan True Sect had long perished 5000 years ago!"


    Lu Linfeng''s entire body trembled, and he said, "What did you say?"


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, recounting the past of the Fierce Gale World invading and the Grand Yan True Sect forsaking themselves for a righteous cause, filling Lu Linfeng with a vicissitude of emotions too.


    "So that''s how it is. It looks like I shouldn''t have left behind Dao teachings back then in the Endless World!" Lu Linfeng sighed emotionally and gave Ye Yuan a very meaningful glance.

 1184 Apologizing

    "Came out! They came out! How''s the battle situation like?"


    The array formation dissipated. Two figures gradually emerged.


    When Ye Yuan appeared in front of everyone perfectly unscathed, everyone was stunned!


    Duan Zhengxiao''s gaze turned intense, and he said in disbelief, "This �� How is this possible?"


    Other people could not feel it, but he knew that the Grand Yan Divine King already displayed the Formations Path Nine Scripts to eightfold!


    At that level, how could Ye Yuan possibly be unharmed?


    Didn''t this mean that Ye Yuan actually has the strength to assail the top five?


    This �� This was too surreal, right?


    What kind of foolish thing did he do to actually come and challenge a freak like this?


    Duan Zhengxiao currently felt that he really got carried away from entering the Ten Great Divine Kings, to actually court death until he wanted to challenge the Heaven Surmounting Divine King.


    For the Heaven''s Secret Tower to dare publish this ranking and title, they naturally had their reasons.


    He, this tenth divine king, almost just kicked the bucket straight away!


    If not for the Grand Yan Divine King making it in time, he would most likely be the most tragic one in the history of the Ten Great Divine Kings, right?


    "Completely unharmed! This �� This is impossible!"


    "I didn''t see wrongly, right? The Grand Yan Divine King already unleashed 70%-80% of his strength and was actually unable to do anything to the Heaven Surmounting Divine King?"


    "My eyes must be failing! In this case, wouldn''t the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s ranking really have issues? The Heaven Surmounting Divine King should have entered the top five!"


    ...


    Those few geniuses were deeply astounded by this scene. They even thought that Ye Yuan was seeking death previously. Who knew that he was actually completely unscathed!


    His opponent was the Grand Yan Divine King, whose name had spread all over the Divine Realm for thousands of years!


    Before being titled by the Heaven''s Secret Tower, the Grand Yan Divine King''s name already shook the Divine Realm, becoming the Divine Realm''s formation path''s number one powerhouse.


    Now that several thousands of years had passed, the Grand Yan Divine King''s strength was even more unfathomable.


    Ye Yuan, this newly-ascended sixth divine king, actually came out from inside the Grand Yan Divine King''s array formation without a scratch!


    "Violet Extreme, apologize to the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. This matter will drop at this!"


    Lu Linfeng''s one sentence made everyone''s heart twitch violently.


    Was �� this considered conceding?


    Those genius martial artists felt that their worldview had completely collapsed.


    The corner of the Violet Extreme Divine King''s mouth twitched as well. But since the Grand Yan Divine King spoke up, he could not run from this.


    At once, he could only bow down towards Ye Yuan and said, "Heaven Surmounting Divine King, Duan Zhengxiao has offended you. Please forgive me!"


    At this time, he already did not have any complaints towards Ye Yuan. All that remained was only admiration.


    He knew that he was nothing in front of Ye Yuan!


    Seeing this scene, everyone had an unreal feeling.


    Turned out that the gap between the Ten Great Divine Kings was actually so great?


    Or was it Ye Yuan, this newly-ascended sixth divine king, who was too freakish?


    It seemed like for Ye Yuan to be able to enter the sixth place domineeringly, it was indeed not by a fluke!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Forget it, I have no intention of vying for this empty reputation. That Heaven''s Secret Tower stirring this up was also not what I hoped for. Today''s matter will be dropped at this. Your strength is decent, better focus on cultivating more! The fiend calamity is coming, conduct yourself well!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Duan Zhengxiao''s heart fearful.


    Lu Linfeng also interjected at this time and said, "Violet Extreme, don''t have the heart of a vile character anymore. The Heaven Surmounting Divine King and I are also considered old friends. His character, I''m still aware of it. This title of Ten Great Divine Kings is just a burden to him."


    Ye Yuan already got to know from Lu Linfeng that this Violet Extreme Divine King was his old friend''s son who had some fortuitous encounters. That was how he reached his present cultivation realm.


    Duan Zhengxiao''s face turned red, and he said, "It �� It was this Duan who was impetuous."


    Lu Linfeng looked toward Ye Yuan meaningfully and said, "Ji brat, it was this Lu''s eyes that saw wrongly. I didn''t think that your Martial Dao talent was actually so outstanding! The few of us old fellows have roamed the Divine Realm unobstructed for several thousand years and have never encountered adversaries. It looks like this time, a match really appeared. But this Lu has to offer you a piece of advice too. In all things, act within your ability. Take care not to force yourself."


    Ye Yuan was naturally aware of what Lu Linfeng was referring to and said smilingly, "Can eggs remain unbroken if the nest is overturned? Old Man Lu, this isn''t my burden alone!"


    Lu Linfeng let out a long sigh and immediately left.


    A farce wound up here.


    "Haha, Milord, you''re truly too incredible! Even the third-place Grand Yan Divine King couldn''t do anything to you!" Jiang Taicang welcomed with a big laugh.


    Ao Qian also looked at Ye Yuan with a look of awe and said, "Milord is truly becoming more and more unfathomable!"


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a laugh, "My current strength is still far from that Old Man Lu! I reckon that he didn''t even bring out half of his strength! Looks like the Ten Great Divine Kings ranked in the top five, their strength truly cannot be estimated!"


    Everyone''s faces turned stiff, not expecting that it was such an outcome.


    Regarding Lu Linfeng''s strength, Ye Yuan was rather surprised too.


    He had a feeling that Lu Linfeng''s current strength likely already exceeded the Formations Path Nine Scripts.


    As for what it was, Ye Yuan could not tell either.


    But it was certain that Lu Linfeng''s current strength was likely not much worse off compared to the Spirit Bristle Divine King as well.


    The strength of the Ten Great Divine Kings'' top three were likely already very close.


    These few years, everybody was improving!


    "En?"


    Ye Yuan was just about to return to the dragon clan, but a figure followed behind them tremblingly.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said to that person, "If you''re not leaving, could it be that you still plan on challenging me?"


    That person hurriedly waved his hand. Of course, he only had one hand.


    This person was precisely Cao Yunzhi!


    "Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one knows his mistake! I �� I beg Your Excellency to take in this lowly one. This lowly one is willing to follow by Your Excellency''s side and be a little follower!" Cao Yunzhi hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance rather surprisedly and suddenly said with a smile, "Give me a reason to take you in!"


    Cao Yunzhi drew a deep breath and said, "These few days, this lowly one has been observing Your Excellency constantly, and feel that you''ll definitely be an earth-shaking mighty figure in the future! Following by your side, not only can this lowly one obtain many benefits, perhaps I can still leave behind my name for generations! In the future, I might not be unable to reach the boundary of the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    Cao Yunzhi''s words made Ye Yuan stunned.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long guessed his objective. It was just that, he never thought that this guy would actually say it out so frankly.


    After saying finish, Cao Yunzhi looked toward Ye Yuan with a flustered look.


    This was his true thoughts without concealing anything.


    Because he knew that by giving an exaggerated tale, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to believe.


    Except, he did not know whether or not Ye Yuan could accept this kind of material idea.


    Swoosh!


    A medicinal pill flew in front of Cao Yunzhi. He instinctively used his remaining hand to catch it.


    One look, his gaze involuntarily turned intent, and he was immediately wildly ecstatic in his heart!


    "Transcendent-grade, Sublimating Regeneration Pill! T-Thank you, Your Excellency!"


    Cao Yunzhi bowed furiously towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan bestowing the pill showed that he had already accepted him.


    Furthermore, with this transcendent-grade Sublimating Regeneration Pill, his severed arm could completely recover to its former state!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Compared to hypocrites, I can still accept a genuine vile character. But, under my leadership, if you were to have any devious thoughts, don''t blame me for being ruthless! You have no second chance!"

 1185 Mystic Rank Token!

    "The Violet Extreme Divine King went to challenge the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and returned in great defeat? The Heaven Surmounting Divine King and the Grand Yan Divine King matched powers, and both were completely unscathed? You �� You''re talking rubbish here, right?"


    "Heh, on that day, there were a hundred Void Mystic experts present. How can it be rubbish? I heard that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King nearly killed the Violet Extreme Divine King with one sword. If not for the Grand Yan Divine King making it in time, the Ten Great Divine Kings would likely have to change members again!"


    "Hiss �� But how can an Eighth Level Dao Profound martial artist''s strength possibly be so powerful?"


    "Although hard to believe, such are the facts! To be able to be named as ''Heaven Surmounting,'' Ye Yuan''s strength definitely can''t be judged with common sense! Did you forget, the rise of the Ten Great Divine Kings'' fame back then, was accompanied by countless skeletons! This time, it''s clearly much more lukewarm. If those hundred Void Mystic powerhouses were really soft in the head, this Divine Realm would most likely have a hundred fewer Void Mystic powerhouses!"


    ...


    The ranking of the Ten Great Divine Kings being fresh out of the press attracted attention all over the world in the first place.


    With so many people present during the dragon clan''s battle, this news naturally could not be held back and spread out very quickly.


    In the wake of shock, people realized an anomaly: the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s strength was truly incomparably terrifying!


    Although many people did not believe the rumors of cutting down the Violet Extreme Divine King with one sword, whether or not Ye Yuan had the qualifications to enter the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings, no one doubted it already.


    As for whether or not the ranking was accurate, that was really depending on one''s personal opinion.


    Unless there was a ranking battle held among the Ten Great Divine Kings, otherwise, nobody would know the accuracy of this ranking.


    And just as the dragon clan''s battle sparked heated discussions, Ye Yuan already set off in secret, heading towards the Divine Realm''s southern part''s Nanzhao Region.


    The Moonhowl Sect was precisely a Rank Six Holy Land in the Nanzhao Region.


    Ye Yuan walked into a medicinal shop in the Maplemoon Imperial City. The shopkeeper welcomed with a smile.


    "Sir, may I ask what spirit medicines are required? Although our store is small, there is a great variety of spirit medicines."


    "I want a piece of blank paper, 2 maces of Wandering Flower, three taels of Dark Winterplum, four pounds of Willow Moon Pearl. I wonder if your shop has it?" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    This was the secret code that the Spirit Bristle Divine King told him, and this small medicine shop was precisely the place to get in contact.


    When that shopkeeper heard Ye Yuan''s secret code, his expression involuntarily changed. But immediately, he revealed a look of doubt and contempt.


    "Not only does our small store has these, but there are also even five pounds of Zi Tongren, six taels of White Heart Lotus, seven maces of Su Huanzhen, only lacking eight stalks of Soul Extinguishing Needles! Sir, come in, please! Xiao Tong, closing for half a day today. Seal off the shop."


    Although his face showed disdain, he still responded with the secret code and invited Ye Yuan into the inner-hall.


    The reason why the shopkeeper revealed a look of contempt was because he saw that Ye Yuan only had Heaven Enlightenment Realm cultivation.


    So he was very perplexed what in the world upstairs sent this brat here for?


    Very clearly, Teng Yun did not tell the shopkeeper who he sent over this time.


    Therefore, when he saw Ye Yuan, he inevitably despised him.


    Coming to the inner-hall, the shopkeeper cupped his fists and said, "This old man is Gu Yongtang. I wonder how do I address this little brother?"


    "Ye Yuan," Ye Yuan said lightly.


    The shopkeeper froze. Why was this name exactly the same as the newly-ascended Heaven Surmounting Divine King?


    But he did not think that this Ye Yuan was the other Ye Yuan.


    How could the Ten Great Divine Kings possibly be a Heaven Enlightenment Realm rookie?


    "Little Brother Ye, not that this Gu is looking down on you, it''s just that your cultivation �� What can you do coming to the Moonhowl Sect?" Gu Yongtang said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan smiled indifferently but fished out a token.


    When Gu Yongtang saw the token, his expression could not help changing greatly.


    "Mystic Rank Token! Subordinate Gu Yongtang, pays respect to Mystic Lord, Your Excellency!" Gu Yongtang hurriedly gave a bow.


    This token was given to him by Teng Yun, but he was not told what purpose it had. He just said that he could display it when he arrived at the place.


    Looking at it now, this token was still pretty useful to be able to make a peak Void Mystic powerhouses bow his head in submission.


    Speaking of which, Ye Yuan didn''t even know what the name of the organization was until now.


    Teng Yun''s mysterious appearance made Ye Yuan feel somewhat at a loss.


    "Get up. A peak Void Mystic powerhouse concealing in this Maplemoon Imperial City is actually able to persevere until now and not die. It can only be said that you''re too lucky," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Gu Yongtang was stunned and said rather uncertainly, "I wonder what Mystic Lord, Your Excellency''s words �� mean?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Although you suppressed your realm, people who are powerful can see through your ins and outs at a glance. It''s also that this small shop of yours is too inconspicuous, that''s why it would be overlooked by people. It''s just that when you take action, it''s a little too troublesome."


    Gu Yongtang could not help choking when he heard that. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    Because his cultivation realm was too high, many things could only be investigated secretly, but not looked into openly.


    It was indeed somewhat inconvenient to act.


    The fiend race''s genuine powerhouses could see through his actual situation with a glance.


    Suppressing cultivation realm, this sort of thing, could only bluff rookies.


    "This is an Essence Sealing Pill, eat it. As long as you don''t deliberately utilize essence energy that surpasses the realm, you won''t be exposed. Even if the fiend race''s peak Void Mystic powerhouses came, they can''t see through your actual situation either!" Ye Yuan casually threw out a medicinal pill and said.


    Gu Yongtang involuntarily received the medicinal pill, but his gaze looked towards Ye Yuan in incredible shock.


    He finally understood why this one in front of him was just a measly little Heaven Enlightenment Realm!


    Coupled with the Mystic Rank Token and guessing, Gu Yongtang got an answer that made him immensely shocked.


    "Could Mystic Lord, Your Excellency �� be the newly-ascended Heaven Surmounting Divine King?" Gu Yongtang asked probingly.


    Someone capable of refining the Essence Sealing Pill, this kind of high-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill, was named Ye Yuan, and even possessed a Mystic Rank Token, apart from the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, who else could there be?


    Ye Yuan did not deny it either, saying with a nod, "Precisely so."


    Gu Yongtang hurriedly said, "Subordinate was impolite, Heaven Surmounting Divine King pray do not take offense!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "No worries. Talk about the intelligence that you found."


    Gu Yongtang nodded his head and started recounting the information that he found in this stronghold.


    This Maplemoon Kingdom was subordinate to the Moonhowl Sect. The entire royal family had long been controlled by the fiend race.


    As for the Moonhowl Sect, Gu Yongtang only intercepted and captured an intelligence personnel by chance. He discovered that the other party was of the fiend race, so he became suspicious about the Moonhowl Sect.


    Any real definite evidence, Gu Yongtang did not grasp them at all!


    When Ye Yuan heard, he shook his head to no end as well.


    "Messing around for a long time, it''s equivalent to doing nothing!" Ye Yuan smiled helplessly and said.


    Gu Yongtang''s old face turned red, but he defended himself, "Subordinate was afraid of alerting the enemy, so �� it was inconvenient to come forward on many occasions."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I really don''t know what Teng Yun was thinking. Investigating intelligence this sort of thing, he actually sent a peak Void Mystic over. Furthermore, actually came in such a flagrant manner."


    Gu Yongtang shut his mouth and said nothing. Such words were not what he could interject.


    Ye Yuan asked again, "Then pray tell, did the Moonhowl Sect has any abnormal activities in this period of time recently?"


    Gu Yongtang thought about it and said, "There really was! Originally, the Moonhowl Sect recruited a batch of disciples at Heaven Enlightenment Realm and below every two years. But in this recent one to two years, they have already shortened this cycle to three months."

 1186 Incredible

    "This one is Meng Guang. I wonder how to address this little brother?"


    "Ye Qing."


    "Brother Ye is already Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment at a young age. Your talent is truly unparalleled! Entering the Moonhowl Sect this time, you''ll definitely obtain the sect''s heavy grooming!"


    "It''s just that I obtained some lucky chances a few years back, which aren''t worth mentioning. Rather, Brother Meng''s foundation is quite solid. Your strength is likely far greater than your cultivation realm, right?"


    Meng Guang could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise, secretly alarmed that Ye Yuan''s eyesight was startling.


    His talent was outstanding, and he already comprehended an earth-attribute supreme true intent.


    Unexpectedly, this young man whose cultivation realm was even a level lower than his actually saw through with one glance.


    This Ye Qing was naturally Ye Yuan who sneaked into the Maplemoon Imperial City.


    Hearing about the Moonhowl Sect''s abnormal activities from Gu Yongtang there, Ye Yuan decided to enter deep into the tiger''s lair to make a thorough inquiry.


    After all, eradicating the Moonhowl Sect was not considered a big deal to him.


    But wanting to grasp the fiend race''s intel, this was the top priority.


    Right now, Ye Yuan still knew too little about the fiend race''s matters.


    At this time, these hundreds of people were currently on the way to the Moonhowl Sect. Meng Guang saw that Ye Yuan had an amiable look, so he came up to get closer.


    But he did not expect that it was seen through by Ye Yuan with one glance.


    When Meng Guang heard this, he could not help saying with an embarrassed smile, "Elder Brother, I, was lucky by chance too, haha. It''s just a shame that my cultivation has likely reached the end as well. Thanks to the Moonhowl Sect wanting to start a war with the Crimson Feather Sect, that''s why they would relax the restrictions of recruiting disciples. Only then could I enter the sect at my age!"


    Speaking of entering the Moonhowl Sect, Meng Guang had a look of anticipation too.


    It was just that in Ye Yuan''s view, with this departure, it was likely very difficult to come back anymore.


    The Moonhowl Sect increasing enrollment of disciples definitely had other motives.


    But Ye Yuan could not say much right now as well. One more person knowing this, the success rate of his mission would drop substantially.


    After investigating the intelligence of the fiend race clearly, he would naturally eradicate the Moonhowl Sect, and these people would be safe.


    Chatting with Meng Guang along the way, they entered the Moonhowl Sect very quickly.


    The Moonhowl Sect''s disciples flowed perpetually in an endless stream, showing a scenery of prosperity. Looking from the outside, there was not the slightest hint of amiss.


    But the way Ye Yuan saw it, it was another scenery.


    His Essence, Energy, and Spirit, the three paths already gradually approached major accomplishment. The power of the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil was also gradually able to be unleashed.


    The fiend energy concealed within the bodies could not hide from Ye Yuan''s eyes at all.


    These Moonhowl Sect disciples were all deeply entrenched in fiend energy and were already no longer normal people.


    The entire Moonhowl Sect, only their batch of newcomers were humans.


    Ye Yuan observed carefully along the way, secretly memorizing each bearing of the sect in his heart.


    But no idea why, ever since entering the Moonhowl Sect, Ye Yuan kept having a feeling of apprehension and jitters.


    The Phaseless Realm deacon responsible for recruiting new disciples brought everyone to a side-peak, sweeping a glance over everyone. He said coldly, "This place will be your lodging from now on. Starting from now, you''re the Moonhowl Sect''s disciples. Because now is a special time, the Moonhowl Sect''s cultivation methods and martial techniques will be opened up to all disciples at no charge! Starting from tomorrow, all of you must cultivate well and serve the sect, understood?"


    "Cultivation methods and martial technique opened up for free! Haha, the sect is really great to us!"


    "Heard that the Moonhowl Sect''s Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation is a Tier 9 cultivation method. If I''m able to cultivate this cultivation method, then I''d ascend to the heavens in one step!"


    "Looks like entering the Moonhowl Sect was indeed a wise decision!"


    The deacon''s one sentence stirred everyone''s emotions up.


    Seeing these people''s agitated expressions, the corners of the deacon''s mouth curled up.


    These fools, death is at hand, and they are still unaware. Do they really think that there''s free lunch in the world? The deacon sneered coldly in his heart.


    He glanced around the crowd, but his gaze stopped on Ye Yuan''s face.


    The others all had excited looks, only Ye Yuan alone had a wooden expression.


    His behavior was truly too conspicuous in a group of people.


    Actually, Ye Yuan really wanted to act a bit more realistically. But having him dance for joy with these guys, he seriously could not do it.


    He currently had a whole bunch of Divine Dao cultivation methods that he did not have time to cultivate. How could he take fancy on a puny little Tier 9 cultivation method?


    In other words, acting required talent too.


    "What? You seem to hold the sect''s cultivation methods in contempt very much?" The deacon looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this guy suddenly came to find trouble with him.


    Although he did not know how to act, putting up an act still had to be done.


    At once, he bowed down slightly and said, "What''s Lord Deacon saying here? Disciple is just �� not too good at expressing my excitement."


    Actually, Ye Yuan really felt that he said it very sincerely.


    But his expression was so offending in the deacon''s eyes.


    "Heh, I think that you just look down on it! Since that''s the case, this seat will demonstrate to everybody! As for you �� experience the power of the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation well! Rest assured, this seat will suppress the palm force to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm." The deacon said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Hearing these words, Meng Guang''s expression changed, and he hurriedly gave a bow and said, "Lord Deacon, Brother Ye really had no intention of offending you. He has this indifferent temperament to begin with. I chatted with him a lot along the way. He mostly had this expression."


    Meng Guang had good intentions, but coming forward at this time made the deacon even more displeased.


    He was devilfied and filled with a foul and evil-foreboding air to begin with. One or two jumping out, he felt that he had a need to demonstrate his authority.


    "The two of you, just the first day of joining the sect, could it be that you want to rebel? The words that this seat said, could it be that you want to make this seat take them back? Or �� do you guys want to be expelled on the first day?" said the deacon as he put on a cold face.


    Meng Guang saw Ye Yuan''s frail body, gritted his teeth, and said, "If Your Excellency really wants to demonstrate the cultivation method, Meng Guang is willing to accept this palm on his behalf!"


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling slightly surprised. He and Ye Yuan had never met before and just exchanged a few more words on the road. Ye Yuan did not expect that Meng Guang was actually so protective of him.


    However, he did not put this deacon in his sights.


    "Lord Deacon, this disciple is willing to let you demonstrate the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation. It''s just �� your strength is powerful. You need to go easier when attacking!" Ye Yuan said.


    When the deacon saw the situation, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "You can rest assured, it''s just demonstrating the cultivation method a little."


    He would not kill Ye Yuan, because these people were all asked for by upstairs. But �� he planned on making Ye Yuan lie in bed for a month.


    Meng Guang could not help panicking the moment he saw it. But Ye Yuan gave him a comforting look.


    Martial artists were mostly cold and detached. Those like Meng Guang were in the minority.


    When the others saw that the deacon wanted to display the power of a Tier 9 cultivation method, each and every one of them was the same as being injected with stimulants.


    Huo ��


    The deacon revolved the cultivation method and smacked a palm out!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan forcefully pressured himself to spew out a mouthful of blood, his body directly flying out.


    But the deacon himself was also sent flying out.


    Furthermore, he flew even further than Ye Yuan!


    Everyone had dumbfounded looks, what �� the hell was this?


    Ye Yuan struggled to his feet, wiped away the fresh blood from the corners of his mouth, and said with a heartfelt sigh, "Lord Deacon''s palm art is incredible! Our Moonhowl Sect''s cultivation method is truly amazing!"

 1187 Strange Fragrance

    "Ye Qing, are you alright?" Meng Guang could not help asking very concernedly when he saw Ye Yuan''s pale face.


    As for Lord Deacon, that was a Phaseless Realm powerhouse. He �� should be fine, right?


    The others had blank looks too. They did not know if they should be astonished by the Moonhowl Heavenly Chant Incantation''s power, or be shocked by Lord Deacon being sent flying.


    Ye Yuan clutched his chest and said, "Of course not! Lord Deacon''s one palm, how can I possibly be fine?"


    He had got to be joking!


    His late-stage Tier 9 physical body, even if not employing any essence energy, it was also not what a measly little Phaseless Realm could break.


    Furthermore, toward a fiend, Ye Yuan would not show leniency.


    Just a moment ago, Ye Yuan utilized late-stage spirit rank dragon wave in the backlash force. A bout of hidden force already quietly slipped into the deacon''s internal organs.


    Within seven days, this surge of vibration force would activate, blasting the deacon into a pile of minced meat!


    The deacon scrambled to his feet, the gaze that he turned toward Ye Yuan simmered with anger!


    "Brat, this seat showed mercy, you actually dared to ambush me?" The deacon said furiously.


    He wanted to use Ye Yuan to establish his authority. Who knew that he stumbled, his face almost completely lost.


    Even though these people were dead people sooner or later, but �� where would his face be shelved?


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Lord Deacon, where did this come from? This disciple was injured by you!"


    The deacon froze, only now seeing the bloodstains on Ye Yuan''s chest. Clearly, he was already injured.


    This way, he really could not continue to make things difficult.


    He glared at him in anger and said furiously, "All be more obedient for this seat! This seat is warning you, some important places in the sect are all layered heavily with restrictions. If you guys dare anyhow run, once you bump into the restrictions, not even residue will be left!"


    Done talking, the deacon flicked his sleeves and walked away.


    Everyone exchanged glances, all feeling baffled, and could only disperse on a sour note.


    ...


    Each person returned to their residence. Meng Guang was concerned about Ye Yuan and dropped by to visit him.


    "Ye Qing, your �� your injuries are healed so quickly?" When Meng Guang saw Ye Yuan, he had a look of surprise.


    The current Ye Yuan had a ruddy complexion with a sheen. How was there any hint of getting injured?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I have medicinal pills on me. A bit of minor injury is no problem."


    Meng Guang''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly, "Ye Qing, Elder Brother more or less still has some experience! If the deacon''s palm landed on me, even though it''s not to the extent of claiming my life, I''d probably have to lie on the bed for ten days to half a month. Your background is probably not simple, right?"


    Meng Guang''s age was not young anymore, and he had struggled at the bottom for a long time. He still had some judgment.


    It was precisely so that he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Yuan.


    Building a good relationship with disciples with potential in advance, the road in the sect would also be a little smoother in the future.


    But looking at it now, this Ye Qing was likely not just talented so simple.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Meng, originally, I wasn''t planning on telling you. But you''re so righteous. There''s no harm in this Ye giving you a few words of warning. This Moonhowl Sect is a tiger''s lair and dragon''s den to you! These few days, Brother Meng has to act carefully, understood?"


    Meng Guang was startled inwardly but did not quite understand why Ye Yuan would say so.


    But his thoughts were meticulous and grasped the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words very quickly. Frowning, he asked, "It''s a tiger''s lair and dragon''s den to me, then �� it isn''t to you?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s good that Brother Meng understands! But this matter, I hope that Brother Meng helps me to keep the secret. Otherwise, this show wouldn''t be able to carry on. You can rest assured, within seven days, everything will naturally be revealed."


    Seven days later was the date of action that Ye Yuan and Teng Yun agreed upon.


    Because he wanted to investigate this Moonhowl Sect''s secrets, so he came over ahead of schedule.


    But titanic storms surged in Meng Guang''s heart when he heard Ye Yuan''s words.


    His pugilistic world experiences were extensive. He was able to tell that Ye Yuan only revealed these thoughts to him because of his previous actions.


    Meng Guang took a deep breath and said, "You can rest assured, this Meng still has this bit of moral standing."


    Ye Yuan''s expression became solemn and he said with a nod, "You just take it as if you don''t know anything. Take care not to act rashly without careful consideration. Otherwise, not even I can save you."


    Meng Guang''s heart went cold, and he nodded his head solemnly.


    ...


    Nighttime, Ye Yuan was currently comprehending the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art when suddenly, a waft of strange fragrance bored into his nostrils.


    This waft of fragrance was exceedingly demonic and actually made people have a groggy feeling.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he instinctively became alert.


    "What powerful fiendish energy! Could it be that there''s someone practicing fiend arts?" Ye Yuan thought to himself.


    Ye Yuan did not dare to alert the enemy, so he dispersed his perception.


    Before long, Ye Yuan discovered that there were a few houses nearby that had activities.


    After that, several figures slowly walked past his window, melding into the depths of twilight.


    Ye Yuan struggled for a while in his heart, but finally still gave up.


    He knew that these few people would probably have little chance of returning.


    Not that he was cold-blooded, but him saving these people would definitely alert the enemy.


    Compared to finding the fiend race''s base camp, these few people appeared insignificant.


    He was not a goody-two-shoes. Things that had lost the main goal because of small gains, he would not do it.


    Moreover, these people were totally unsympathetic.


    On that day, that deacon wanted to make him the target of attack. These people actually even waved their flags and cheered on by the side with excited looks.


    This kind of people, even if you save them, they might not be grateful to you either.


    "Looks like this delicate fragrance �� should have something to do with the Moonhowl Sect''s frequently recruitment of disciples. Tonight, a total of four people were lured away. This batch found a total of 100-odd people. Three month''s time is just about right. Most likely, that whatever holy sovereign needs to cultivate his skill with the help of living people. right?" Ye Yuan guessed so.


    Sure enough, as Ye Yuan expected, after these people left, they never came back.


    Early the next morning, Meng Guang came to Ye Yuan''s room secretly.


    After he entered, he poked his head out and looked around for a bit before shutting the door at ease.


    "Ye Qing, did you notice that something seemed to be off last night?" Meng Guang said.


    Ye Yuan looked at Meng Guang rather surprisedly and retorted with a question, "Was something wrong?"


    Meng Guang''s expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Last night, no idea where a waft of fragrance came from. At that time, I became alert. However, that fragrance was too powerful. I only held on for a short while and became unconscious. This morning when I woke up, I specially checked on the side-peak. Sure enough, several houses became quiet! The people who came in together with us are gone!"


    Talking up to here, Meng Guang had a look of lingering fear in his heart.


    Actually, yesterday, he was still half-dubious towards Ye Yuan''s words.


    But now, he was jumpy with fear and only wanted to escape this fire pit as fast as possible.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, this place was simply a tiger''s lair and dragon''s den!


    One wouldn''t even know how they died!


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Looks like Brother Meng''s means are not ordinary either! That fragrance is not what ordinary people can resist. Not only did you detect it, but you were also actually able to resist for a while!"

 1188 Sneaking into Luoyan Hall

    Meng Guang''s expression was very ugly. He really became scared.


    "I say, Younger Brother Ye Qing, don''t make a fool out of your elder brother! I know that my bit of capabilities, you completely turn your nose up at it! Younger Brother, you can''t leave me in the lurch!"


    Meng Guang originally thought that entering the Moonhowl Sect could benefit from some of the sect''s glory. He did not expect that it was delivering a lamb into the tiger''s maws. How could he not be anxious?


    Except, he knew that with his strength, there was absolutely no way he could escape.


    Ye Yuan was his savior right now.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Hold your horses, Brother Meng. I have a Mind Clarity Pill here. Grind it to powder. After consuming 20%, you can naturally resist that fragrance. These few days, try your best not to go out. I still have some things to do. After this matter is over, I''ll naturally bring you away."


    Meng Guang received the medicinal pill and looked. It was actually a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill!


    He drew a deep breath. His gaze when looking towards Ye Yuan was filled with complexity.


    To be able to casually take out this grade of medicinal pill, this Ye Qing was definitely not an ordinary person!


    The medicinal effects of a transcendent-grade Tier 9 medicinal pill were too strong. With Meng Guang''s strength, he could not withstand it at all. Hence, it could only be ground into powder and consumed a little bit.


    But this little bit was already sufficient!


    Meng Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Ye Qing! If I''m able to escape this fiend den, this Meng will definitely work like a horse to repay brother!"


    Sending away Meng Guang, Ye Yuan tidied up a bit and headed straight out.


    Ye Yuan was going to select cultivation methods. Over there, he saw quite a few martial artists who came together.


    When these people saw those Tier 9 cultivation methods, each and every one of them was incomparably excited.


    Little did they imagine that there were already a few companions around them who disappeared.


    This batch of disciples were mostly itinerant cultivators. They did not know each other at all.


    They acted alone. Even if there were people missing, they would only think that they were practicing in closed-seclusion.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not really go and choose cultivation methods. He was deliberately delivering himself to the doorstep to let that deacon find trouble.


    As soon as he entered the skills-hall, Ye Yuan knew that he was targeted by someone.


    Furthermore, this person''s strength was very powerful!


    Ye Yuan was virtually certain that this person was most probably that so-called holy sovereign powerhouse!


    In a secret place, the deacon stood behind the holy sovereign obediently.


    "This young man is merely an ordinary Eighth Level Heaven Enlightenment and didn''t conceal his strength. Furthermore, didn''t he also come to choose cultivation methods and martial techniques today? It seems like he should just have an indifferent personality and don''t have any special aspects," the holy sovereign said softly.


    "Yes, Master. It was this slave who worries too much," the deacon said with humble reverence.


    "En. this batch of disciples are pretty good quality. That lord is very satisfied. Later, there will be great rewards!" said the holy sovereign.


    The deacon was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master! This is all what this slave should do."


    "There''s at most one year still, and Lord Kanuo will be coming into being. At that time, our fiend race''s strongholds in the Divine Realm must all be fully activated. Our place here will be the important stronghold for connecting to various lands. Hence, we mustn''t make any mistakes! In this one year, buck yourself up 120%, not a single bit of mistake is allowed! Especially the Devil Sound Transmission Array, understood?" the holy sovereign said.


    The deacon hurriedly said, "This slave remembers!"


    Although Ye Yuan knew that someone was spying on him, he was unable to hear what they were talking about.


    If he heard the holy sovereign talk about that lord, he probably would not be so composed.


    In this stronghold, there was actually an existence even stronger than a holy sovereign!


    ...


    Relaxing vigilance towards Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan''s actions over the next few days became much smoother.


    Through several days of investigation, Ye Yuan could basically confirm that the main peak''s Luoyan Hall was most likely where the hub of the transmission array was located!


    Ye Yuan possessed the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil and was simply a natural scout.


    He did not need to sneak around furtively like others and keep a sharp lookout.


    He just strolled around the vicinity of the main peak very casually. Everything was laid bare in his eyes.


    After all, he was a newcomer disciple. Familiarizing with the environment around the main peak was very justifiable.


    As for some more secretive places, with Ye Yuan''s methods, those fiends were clearly unable to discover him.


    That Luoyan Hall was a very unassuming palace. But the defense was very strict.


    Those guards did not look very strong on the surface. But when Ye Yuan used the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to observe from far away, the Luoyan Hall''s guards were most likely divine king-rank fiends!


    Genuine fiends and not devilfied fiend slaves.


    Such strict defenses were bound to guard some extremely important things.


    Then what thing was the most important in this Moonhowl Sect?


    Of course, it was the information transmission array!


    These few days, the new disciples lost some more people one after another.


    Meng Guang secretly broke into a sweat with fright, secretly heaving a sigh of relief at getting lucky.


    Consuming Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, that waft of fragrance was indeed unable to affect him anymore.


    If not for Ye Yuan, perhaps he would be among those people who disappeared.


    On the sixth night, Meng Guang finally saw Ye Yuan come over.


    "My goodness! Younger Brother Ye Qing, you finally came! These few days, I was akin to sitting on pins and needles. If you still didn''t come, I''d probably go crazy!" Meng Guang complained.


    Death was not scary. The process of waiting for death was what''s scary!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Let''s go, I''ll bring you to take a look at this Moonhowl Sect''s true face!"


    Meng Guang''s expression turned stern, and he followed Ye Yuan away.


    Ye Yuan had long observed it before. There were ten visible tips and three hidden tips around Luoyan Hall.


    Only when he resolved all of these at the same time could he enter Luoyan Hall without a sound.


    "Younger Brother Ye Qing, what exactly are you trying to do?" Meng Guang said with divine sense transmission.


    Ye Yuan had him eat a Breath Concealing Pill. The two people hiding in the dark, those fiends could not discover it either.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, his figure suddenly disappearing from where he was!


    In the dark night, 13 arcs of cold light flashed by.


    Those 13 guards all died under Ye Yuan''s sword!


    Meng Guang''s eyes widened into circles, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Only at this time did he know just how terrifying the strength of this Brother Ye Qing who had always called him brother was!


    How was this some Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist? This was clearly a Divine King Realm powerhouse!


    Instantly killing 13 Phaseless Realm guards in one breath and did not even give off any hint of happenings. This strength, probably only Divine King Realm powerhouses could achieve it, right?


    Of course, this was what Meng Guang had in mind.


    But in reality, those 13 guards were divine king-rank experts in itself!


    Ye Yuan''s strength, he was completely unable to gauge it.


    "Brother �� Ye �� Your Excellency, you �� you''re actually a divine king powerhouse!" Coming before Ye Yuan, Meng Guang was stammering even when talking.


    Divine kings were remote existences to him.


    An existence that he was unable to attain for all his life.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Considered so. Come on, go in!"


    Ye Yuan brought Meng Guang and passed through all sorts of restrictions very casually, and entered inside Luoyan Hall.


    In-between this, killing was naturally inevitable.


    It was just that with Ye Yuan''s means, nobody was able to react at all and were instantly killed.


    Even that holy sovereign, Ye Yuan had the confidence to one-shot too, let alone these guards.


    Entering the great hall, Ye Yuan was stricken dumb with amazement by the scene before his eyes.

 1189 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Path

    The interior of this great hall had its own space, loaded with a whole bunch of array formations, giving people a sense of dizziness.


    "This �� What place is this? How could there be such a complicated transmission array?" Meng Guang said in shock.


    "The Moonhowl Sect is the fiend race''s underground stronghold, in charge of collecting intelligence and transmitting information. The transmission array here was likely already reached the grade of 10 thousand. It looks like our luck is pretty good. This place should be a rather important stronghold for the fiend race."


    Seeing this colossal and complex transmission array, Ye Yuan also felt very lucky.


    With his strength, finding some useful information from inside these transmission arrays naturally could be done.


    "Fiend �� Fiend race?" Meng Guang was frightened by this term.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, "The fiend race has long penetrated to every corner of the Divine Realm already. In less than three years, the fiend calamity will definitely erupt."


    Meng Guang opened his eyes wide. He was thunderstruck by the news Ye Yuan brought until he was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.


    While he was still in astonishment, Ye Yuan''s figure already moved and started extracting the information inside the transmission array.


    These transmission arrays were intertwined and already gave birth to god knows how many.


    If it were others, they would not even know where to begin.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was not something hard.


    No matter how complicated this array formation was, it was all controlled by a central grand array.


    What Ye Yuan wanted to do was to grasp this hub!


    As long as he grasped the grand array''s hub, he would be able to extract the information inside the entire grand array as he pleased.


    However, such a convoluted grand array, even if it was Ye Yuan, it could not be controlled in a short while.


    Meng Guang finally came back to his senses from the shock. He discovered that he was actually attempting to control the grand array!


    "He �� He''s actually even a Tier 9 Formations Emperor?"


    Meng Guang felt like his own brain was somewhat inadequate to use.


    Although he did not know array formations, he could still tell what Ye Yuan was doing.


    In his view, this grand array was as vast as the stars in the sky.


    But under Ye Yuan''s hands, seemed like �� it was not that complicated.


    ...


    "ARGH!!"


    Following a liberating roar, that man on the bed immediately became a dry corpse, toppling over.


    An extremely charming, beautiful madam slowly sat up. The corners of her mouth showing an alluring smile.


    "Joy-killing little thief, you interrupted Grandaunt''s mood. Forget it, let Da You go take care of it. Such a nice taste mustn''t be wasted!"


    The beautiful madam casually struck out a streak of black energy, which disappeared.


    After that, she extended a slender finger and beckoned towards another man.


    That man''s desire was stirred up all at once and pounced towards the beautiful madam like an animal.


    "Hehe, just like that, this lowly one likes that you''re so rough."


    ...


    Time slowly trickled by. Ye Yuan''s rate of progress also became faster and faster.


    Meng Guang by the side was dumbstruck by Ye Yuan''s formations path attainments.


    "Who in the world is Brother Ye Qing? These �� These methods are also too heaven-defying! Such a grand array, even Tier 9 Formation Emperors probably can''t control it so easily either, right?" Meng Guang exclaimed in shock.


    Ye Yuan was currently completely absorbed in controlling the array formation, looking as if he was about to wrap up on a successful note.


    "En?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, figure instantly vanishing where he was.


    Boom!


    The place that Meng Guang was originally standing at already had a huge crater blasted out at this time.


    Ye Yuan dragged Meng Guang, appearing in another corner.


    Meng Guang had yet to understand what was happening, but when he saw that large crater, he knew that he already toured one round and back from the gates of hell.


    Beside the large pit, stood a middle-aged man in opulent clothing, looking exceedingly dignified.


    When did this person approach him?


    "It was me who saw wrongly! Turns out you really have problems!" said the middle-aged man in fine clothing with a look of mild fury.


    This person was precisely that deacon''s master, and also the Da You from that beautiful madam''s mouth.


    This Da You, Ye Yuan did not take him to heart at all and coolly, "You''re the holy sovereign in charge of this base?"


    Da You''s brows furrowed as he said, "A measly Eighth Level Dao Profound actually dares to speak this way to this seat! Reckless thing who doesn''t know death!"


    "Who''s reckless and doesn''t know death, you''ll know right away."


    Ye Yuan''s nonchalant words sounded out. Greater teleportation was instantly displayed!


    Da You''s expression changed drastically, and fiendish energy suddenly surged.


    Boom!


    An intense collision occurred. Da You''s body immediately shot out, smashing brutally into the wall.


    Regarding this outcome, Ye Yuan was rather surprised as well and said, "Looks like your strength is still considered pretty good among holy sovereigns, to actually be able to block my sword!"


    Bang!


    Da You immediately rushed out from the debris and looked at Ye Yuan with a look of solemnness.


    "Evil Extermination Sword Formula! You''re Ye Yuan!" Da You was covered in blood all over as he said savagely.


    Clearly, he already guessed Ye Yuan''s identity and was very apprehensive.


    But the expression of Meng Guang by the side changed greatly, and he muttered, "Ye Yuan! Heaven Surmounting Divine King! Brother Ye Qing �� is actually the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"


    Meng Guang was incomparably shocked in his heart. The Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s fame recently was too resounding.


    The entire Divine Realm, virtually nobody did not know!


    Taking on the Grand Yan Divine King and not falling into a disadvantage, nearly exterminated the Violet Extreme Divine King with one sword. This battle achievement made the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s name spread.


    "I �� I actually addressed the Heaven Surmounting Divine King as my brother?"


    Meng Guang instantly felt somewhat flustered.


    The Ten Great Divine Kings, this level of existence, was simply akin to gods to him.


    Becoming aware of Ye Yuan''s identity, Meng Guang had an unreal feeling.


    Regarding Da You being able to guess his identity, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    After all, he controlled the fiend race''s information source, and he already revealed his strength. There was no way he could not guess.


    "Since you know this young master, then you can go on your way with ease of mind."


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of being long-winded with him. Brandishing his sword, he attacked once more.


    Rumble!


    Inside the great hall, was filled with rumbling sounds everywhere.


    Ye Yuan''s sword light formed an all-round suppression against Da You.


    However, this Da You was very formidable as well.


    Ye Yuan felt like his strength was likely even stronger than Ji Canglan''s!


    To be able to be responsible for such an important base, this Da You was bound to be an extremely powerful existence in the fiend race.


    Even if he did not reach the level of a holy emperor, it was probably not too far away either.


    "Fury Sword Fire Lotus!"


    Not taking him down after a long battle, Ye Yuan finally brought out his killing move.


    A terrifying power crushed over towards Da You akin to a bulldozer.


    Boom!


    Terrifying energy undulations practically toppled the entire building structure.


    However, Ye Yuan''s expression changed. Because this sword did not hit Da You.


    A black flower suddenly bloomed in the air, appearing incomparably sublime.


    The black flower gradually transformed into a figure.


    A coquettish until it made people''s blood flow speed up beautiful woman appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, his gaze filled with solemness when looking at the beautiful woman.


    "Teehehe �� So, it''s you, boy. Truly, enemies meet on a narrow path! Elder Sister was just having a good time earlier but had my spirits dampened by you, this boy. Since that''s the case, stay behind and accompany elder sister then. Elder Sister will definitely wait upon you comfortably," said the beautiful woman with a seductive smile.

 1190 Fierce Fighting with Yue Ji

    Meng Guang suddenly felt a little wet below his nostrils. Reaching his hand out and wiping, his nose was actually bleeding.


    That beautiful woman carried exceeding seductiveness with every movement and action.


    How could his bit of cultivation base be able to withstand it?


    "Humph!"


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly. Meng Guang involuntarily shuddered. Only then did he abruptly startle awake and no longer dared to look towards the beautiful woman.


    Meng Guang was secretly alarmed and thought to himself inwardly that this woman was so powerful. She was clearly not casting bewitching arts at me, and I �� actually fell for it bafflingly!


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, he had a calm and composed appearance and did not have any hints of being charmed at all.


    Indeed well-deserving of being the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. Just this willpower was not what the average person could compare to.


    "Your charms and all, this young master can''t afford to enjoy it. This young master''s taste is not that heavy yet, to want to find a flower to slake my fire," Ye Yuan scoffed and said.


    This beautiful woman before his eyes was naturally the Holy Mother Devil Flower that escaped from the Immemorial Medicine Garden back then!


    Ye Yuan never dreamed that he actually ran into this kind of fiendish creature at this stronghold.


    Originally viewed by him to be a simple mission, looking at it now, it was not simple at all!


    Being poked fun at by Ye Yuan, the Holy Mother Devil Flower was not annoyed in the slightest. However, beaming like a flower, she said, "Deary me, Elder Sister has a name, called Yue Ji, not some evil flower. The last time, you put Elder Sister in an awful state. This time, I can''t let you escape!"


    Hearing these words, the Meng Guang, who was not privy to the situation, suddenly froze, looking toward Ye Yuan with an astonished look.


    These words �� were seriously too ambiguous!


    Truly worthy of being the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, strong!


    "Yeah, a pity that I didn''t mess you to death. Otherwise �� there wouldn''t be so much trouble anymore either," Ye Yuan said with a look of regret.


    "Teehee, you brat, you are really interesting. Even the Absolute Heaven at his prime back then couldn''t kill this elder sister. Just a lousy sword, could it really kill Elder Sister?" Yue Ji shook with laughter, with incomparable charm.


    Ye Yuan''s face turned slightly dark and said, "Looks like the Moonhowl Sect recruiting new disciples should be because of you, right?"


    "Yes, but Elder Sister saw through it. They are far worse compared to you! How about it, as long as you nod your head, Elder Sister �� will be yours."


    "Looks like you recovered pretty well. Since I ran into you, then I''ll let you lie down for another few more years!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold. The Evil Extermination suddenly attacked, the sword already chopping in front of Yue Ji''s face.


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan''s sword was actually caught by Yue Ji with one hand!


    "Teehee, Young Brother, you so don''t know how to cherish beauties. Elder Sister head-over-heels in love with you, how can you treat Elder Sister like this?"


    But Ye Yuan''s expression changed. The Evil Extermination Sword was like it was clamped by an iron band, and actually could not be pulled out!


    This was still his first time encountering such situation!


    Looks like this Yue Ji''s strength already recovered considerably. Too terrifying!


    "Hoh, Little Brother, you seem to be rather surprised! Hehe, that day was merely so because my vitality was greatly damaged, so I was just playing with you all. Elder Sister''s true strength is what even Absolute Heaven that old daoist is fairly wary of."


    Yue Ji smiled brilliantly, but devil vines suddenly grew out of her hands, intertwining over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent. The Evil Extermination Sword suddenly became burning hot.


    Chiii!


    A terrifying flame actually countered, burning toward Yue Ji''s main body.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame could burn myriad things under the heaven!


    Fiery knowing how to cultivate, even deities and immortals found it hard to block too!


    Ever since Fiery cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, his strength already became unfathomable.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s current power was exceedingly terrifying.


    An alarmed expression finally appeared in Yue Ji''s eyes.


    She involuntarily let go of the Evil Extermination Sword. A cloud of fiendish energy gushed out, pouncing together with the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame.


    After a bout of quivering, it finally extinguished the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame.


    "Little Brother is truly surprising. Just how long have we not met, your strength actually already reached such a level. In Elder Sister''s view, your talent is likely even more monstrous than Absolute Heaven back then!" The seductive look on Yue Ji''s face subsided a little, finally becoming a little serious.


    The speed Ye Yuan''s strength improved made her very surprised.


    It was merely two years since the Immemorial Medicine Garden''s battle.


    Yue Ji remembered clearly that Ye Yuan was still a little rookie at that time.


    His strength right now was more than a hundred times stronger than at that time!


    After sighing with admiration, Yue Ji heaved a sigh again and said with devilish flirtatiousness, "What a shame, Little Brother. You were born at the wrong time. Heavenly Dao is defective. If you''re unable to step into Deity Realm, you''ll never be elder sister''s match!"


    "So much crap! Whether I can beat you or not, we''ll only know after fighting!"


    Ye Yuan wielded his sword and stepped forward, clashing together with Yue Ji.


    Yue Ji was well-deserving of being the fiend race''s holy mother. Her strength was truly unfathomable.


    Ever since Ye Yuan comprehended the Domain of Sword, he practically prevailed in every endeavor.


    But in front of Yue Ji, he could not gain the slightest advantage.


    Furthermore, Yue Ji still had an easy-going look, as if she did not use all of her strength at all.


    Ye Yuan knew that Yue Ji did not recover to her peak state. Otherwise, the fiend race would probably have long been unable to hold back anymore.


    But even so, Yue Ji''s strength also took people''s breath away in astonishment.


    What alarmed Ye Yuan even more was that something as sharp as the Evil Extermination Sword, Yue Ji actually dared to forcefully receive it with her bare hands.


    Just how powerful was this woman''s body?


    "Hehe, little brother, you''re still not bringing out your full strength? What''s the point in carrying on to fight like this? Even though you comprehended the Domain of Sword, without the augmentation of cultivation realm, you''re still incredibly weak! Since you can''t bear to bring out your true capability, then elder sister will be taking action."


    Yue Ji clearly had a lot of strength to spare. At this time, she suddenly surged with fiendish energy. Her ten fingers suddenly grew long. Sharp spikes suddenly assailed Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp, his figure suddenly vanishing.


    Greater teleportation!


    However, Yue Ji seemed to have seen through Ye Yuan''s actions. Her figure moved, immediately arriving in midair.


    Spike grew again!


    Puchi!


    Sounds of sharp spikes entering the flesh transmitted over. After that, drops of fresh blood flowed out from within the void.


    Ye Yuan''s figure emerged. There were actually two spikes that penetrated right through Ye Yuan''s chest!


    "Hehe, greater teleportation is pretty good as well. It''s just a pity that �� it''s useless against elder sister, me!" Yue Ji laughed smugly.


    Drip �� Drip ��


    Fresh blood sprayed like a fountain along the thorns. It already severely wounded Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that even the art of greater teleportation actually lost effect in front of Yue Ji!


    Caught off-guard, Ye Yuan''s chest was directly skewered with two holes.


    Evil Extermination Sword, Domain of Sword, greater teleportation!


    These major killing tools of Ye Yuan''s in the past were actually so fragile in front of Yue Ji.


    Boom!


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame suddenly erupted and incinerated the spikes into nothingness.


    But when the flames burned along the spikes towards Yue Ji''s body, it was still extinguished by the powerful fiendish energy.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s expression changed. A heart-piercing pain came from his chest, virtually making him faint from the pain.


    "Hehe, do you think that you''re just wounded so simple? Elder Sister already planted a Holy Mother Devil Flower in your body. Before long, you''ll become Elder Sister''s exclusive slice of meat," Yue Ji looked at Ye Yuan with a broad smile and said.Just a fun fact, Yue Ji is the same name as Type Moon''s Tsukihime

 1191 Internal Organs Incinerating!

    Ye Yuan seemingly felt a seed take root on top of his heart, and sprouting!


    That agony of germination virtually made him faint.


    "That fire essence of yours is indeed powerful. Even my devil vines are actually not a match. But the devil flowers have already integrated with your flesh and blood. Once it burns, your internal organs will be incinerated to ashes! Younger Brother, give up resisting and obediently become Elder Sister''s fiend slave. Elder Sister will dote on you well, hehehe ��"


    Yue Ji laughed until she shook, appearing very pleased with herself.


    This move of hers was different from Fiendgod Jia Lan''s possession. Therefore, the Soul Suppressing Pearl was unable to unleash effect too.


    "Your �� Your Excellency, are you alright?"


    When Meng Guang saw that heart-penetrating anguished appearance of Ye Yuan''s, his entire person was thoroughly stupefied.


    Swoosh ��


    Ye Yuan cast the art of greater teleportation, grabbed hold of Meng Guang''s sleeve, and directly merged into heaven and earth.


    "Don''t resist, go!"


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, he was unable to bring people and display the art of greater teleportation. But merging into heaven and earth was still doable.


    When Yue Ji saw the situation, the corners of her mouth curled, and she said with a smile, "Want to leave? How can it be that easy?"


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    A hundred devil vines stabbed straight towards the void, attempting to force Ye Yuan out.


    "Fury Sword Fire Lotus!"


    Two kinds of violent Divine Dao laws intertwined together, chopping out of the void, directly grinding those devil vines to smithereens.


    However, the remnant force did not diminish, shooting straight for Yue Ji.


    This move, Ye Yuan attacked in anger. The power was extraordinary.


    Even for Yue Ji, when she saw the power of this sword, her expression changed slightly too.


    "Devil Vines Locking the Heavens!


    Swish, swash, swoosh!


    Countless devil vines waved to form an enormous dense web, continuously depleting the Fury Sword Fire Lotus''s power.


    By the time the Fury Sword Fire Lotus''s power was exhausted, Ye Yuan already brought Meng Guang along and got away.


    Yue Ji stared in the direction that Ye Yuan disappeared in a daze. It was also uncertain what she was thinking about.


    At this time, Da You moved closer and said, "Lord Holy Mother, letting them leave just like this?"


    Yue Ji did not have that sort of seductive expression on her face at this time and had a serious look. But it was akin to that of nobility, holy and inviolable.


    "This brat isn''t simple, to actually fuse Absolute Heaven and Jiang Chen, the two people''s ultimate skills together, displaying such a peerlessly powerful sword! Right now, my injuries are not yet healed and aren''t suited to get into a fight. If I really press this boy into a corner, I won''t gain any benefits either. However, since he got hit by my devil flower seeds, he''ll definitely become this holy mother''s fiend slave within three days. We just have to wait here will do. Hehe, the son of heaven''s mandate becoming this holy mother''s fiend slave, just thinking about it makes me feel happy!"


    Talking to the back, Yue Ji felt that it was pretty interesting too, and could not help laughing loudly.


    "Lord Holy Mother is mighty!" Da You said respectfully.


    "Since this stronghold is already exposed, transfer then. This little guy is pretty impressive too; almost letting him succeeded. If not for this holy mother being cautious and did a little tampering in this grand array, we''d really fall victim to him," Yue Ji said.


    "This boy''s formations path attainments already reached the acme of perfection, virtually reaching the pinnacle of Void Mystic Realm martial artists. This subordinate gathered that his battle with the Grand Yan Divine King, he most likely relied on Formations Dao attainments, that''s why he didn''t fall into a disadvantage," Da You said.


    He was in charge of this stronghold. Regarding Ye Yuan and Lu Linfeng''s battle, he naturally would not be unaware.


    And Ye Yuan was the top priority that they were paying close attention to in the first place.


    According to the conjectures from the information all-round, Ye Yuan very likely relied on Formations Dao attainments to remain perfectly unscathed under the Grand Yan Divine King''s Formations Path Nine Scripts.


    Yue Ji smiled and said, "It''s useless, no matter how impressive. He''ll become this holy mother''s fiend slave very soon. Hehe �� the thing that Kanuo couldn''t accomplish, this holy mother accomplished it with the greatest of ease. These one million years, that old thing was simply wasting time! If not for him fearing this holy mother and let this holy mother out earlier, would there be today''s embarrassment?"


    ...


    Thud!


    Ye Yuan held his breath and escaped no idea how far either, finally running out of strength, collapsing onto the ground.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan''s internal organs were already thoroughly flooded by miniature devil flowers.


    That intense pain practically made him faint several times.


    The devil flowers were like parasites. The faster his essence energy revolved, the faster the devil flowers propagated too.


    At this time, the devil flowers virtually occupied his innards. Thick fiendish energy was currently spreading all over his entire body.


    Ye Yuan''s teeth were chattering, his complexion as pale as a sheet.


    "Lord �� Ye Yuan? Are �� Are you alright? I �� can I do anything at all?" Meng Guang said rather flusteredly.


    "You �� help stand �� guard over me!"


    Ye Yuan squeezed these few words out from the gaps of his teeth and could no longer speak.


    "O-O-Oh, rest assured, Your Excellency! Unless I die, otherwise, I absolutely won''t let people take one step closer!" Meng Guang said in a panic.


    Ye Yuan falteringly took out a medicinal pill: Tiger Dragon Creation Pill.


    This medicinal pill was prepared by Ye Yuan to break through the limits of the fleshly body, in order to break through the last gateway.


    According to Ye Yuan''s cultivation plan, it should be taking the Crimson Firmament Tyrannical Body Pill first, letting the fleshly body break through the late-stage Tier 9, reaching peak late-stage.


    After that, consuming this Tiger Dragon Creation Pill, reaching the level of grand completion in one fell swoop from there.


    His own medicine pill, Ye Yuan naturally poured forth his greatest efforts.


    This Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was an arcane insight rank medicinal pill.


    The Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was incomparably overbearing to begin with. Even a late-stage Tier 9 physical body could not withstand that tyrannical power of tigers and dragons too.


    An arcane insight rank medicinal pill, the power was even more unimaginable.


    A moment of carelessness, and he would die from his fleshly body exploding apart.


    But now, Ye Yuan already could not care that much.


    Yue Ji was well-worthy of being a heavenly fiendgod-class powerhouse. These devil flowers were too overbearing and did not give him any chances at all.


    Since it did not give chances, then Ye Yuan could only create an opportunity himself!


    Ye Yuan swallowed the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill in one go. Straight away, the surging medicinal strength immediately started scouring the tendons, bones, and internal organs in his entire body!


    Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was the strongest body tempering medicinal pill that Ye Yuan knew. The power of the medicinal strength could be imagined.


    Furthermore, he was jumping realms to devour the medicinal pill right now. That berserk medicinal strength was virtually going to blow his fleshly body up!


    "HRRGGHH!"


    Ye Yuan lifted his head to the sky and howled, blue veins popping up all over his body, looking exceptionally terrifying.


    Meng Guang, who was currently standing guard, quaked in his boots. He knew that Ye Yuan was currently enduring tremendous pain.


    But he was powerless to help.


    "Fiery, begin!" Ye Yuan roared.


    Fiery''s body materialized and he said stammeringly, "Big Brother, really going to do this? You �� You''ll die!"


    "Hurry!" Ye Yuan practically squeezed this word out from the gaps of his teeth.


    Fiery drew a deep breath and said, "I understand! I''ll be careful, Big Brother!"


    Only to see him knead seals with both hands, firing out a strand of Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame into Ye Yuan''s body!


    "ARGH!!"


    Ye Yuan''s roars sounded again!


    Fiery was currently deploying the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, refining Ye Yuan''s internal organs!


    He was going to forcefully refine that holy mother devil flowers!Double meaning, can also mean stricken with grief

 1192 Awaken!

    Ye Yuan frenziedly activated the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art and restored the wounds within his body crazily.


    The Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was like tidewaters, scouring Ye Yuan''s internal organs and the meridians all over his body wave after wave!


    Ye Yuan''s internal organs were advancing with incredible speed.


    However, because the medicinal strength was too fearsome, the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill''s impact on his fleshly body was far fiercer than the remolding.


    Blackish-red bloodstains seeped out on Ye Yuan''s muscles.


    At the same time, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame was still tempering Ye Yuan''s innards impertinently!


    Ye Yuan felt like he was just like a balloon at this time. It was as if he might explode at any time!


    The Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was a very powerful cultivation method. Ye Yuan had long cultivated it to the degree of peak Tier 9.


    But the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art being hailed as undying and imperishable, that was referring to the Divine Dao cultivation method.


    But what Long Teng knew was merely just the first-half.


    Under such intense devastation, Ye Yuan''s body was currently approaching collapse.


    Currently, the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was like floodwaters that breached the bank, while the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was blocking up the hole.


    However, it seemed like the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was a bit more ferocious in the end. The gap was continuously enlarging, getting bigger.


    The reason why Ye Yuan wanted to forcefully increase his fleshly body realm was in order to strengthen the internal organs, and have the innards be capable of withstanding the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame.


    At this time, Fiery did not dare to increase the power of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame at all. Otherwise, Ye Yuan''s internal organs would directly be incinerated clean.


    He carefully controlled the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame power, using it to restrain the holy mother devil flowers'' growth.


    As for whether Ye Yuan could breakthrough or not, it could only completely depend on his fortunes.


    But this situation at present was clearly not very optimistic!


    Fiery looked at Ye Yuan with a worried look but was powerless to help.


    Fleshly body tempering was an extremely painful process. It completely relied on one''s willpower to control.


    Split ��


    The flesh on Ye Yuan''s body cracked open inch by inch. Fresh blood sprayed everywhere like a fountain.


    When Fiery saw this scene, he could not help feeling torn with anxiety. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Hang in there, Big Brother!"


    However, Ye Yuan''s consciousness became weaker and weaker.


    His entire person was in a completely messed up state. Not only did he have a devil seed planted by Yue Ji, but there was also even the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill ravaging his innards and fleshly body.


    Apart from this, there was also Fiery''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame attempting to refine the holy mother devil flowers.


    Even if Ye Yuan had an iron-will, he could not withstand such devastation too!


    Ye Yuan''s consciousness was gradually falling into the limitless darkness.


    "Ye Yuan �� Ye Yuan ��"


    In his confusion and trance, Ye Yuan seemed to have heard someone calling his name in the depths of this darkness.


    "Who''s calling me? Could it be that �� I''m already dead?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    "Ye Yuan ��" That voice sounded out once more.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Who are you?"


    "Roar!"


    A heaven-shocking dragon roar pierced through the darkness, transmitting into Ye Yuan''s ears.


    A silhouette appeared in the darkness. Ye Yuan focused his eyes and look, and could not help shuddering all over.


    That figure was actually exactly the same as him!


    No, wait, this person''s head �� actually had two horns.


    "It''s me!"


    "Who are you?"


    "I''m �� you!"


    "You''re me? What does that mean?"


    "I''ve already slumbered for over 500 years in the depths of your consciousness. Today, I finally awakened!"


    Ye Yuen''s entire body quivered and he said, "You �� you''re the Atavism Dragon Soul?"


    "Haha, you''re the one who''s the Atavism Dragon Soul! I''m you, and you''re me!"


    Ye Yuan did not rejoice in the slightest and instead frowned and said, "I''m clearly of the human race, why would I possess an Atavism Dragon Soul?"


    "Heh, you only have half-human race bloodline. The other half is naturally the dragon race."


    "I only have half-human race bloodline? Could it be �� you''re saying that my mother �� is of the dragon clan?"


    At this time, titanic storms surged in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Ever since birth, Ye Yuan had never heard his father mentioned before about his mother''s existence.


    It was as if he was a motherless child.


    Ye Yuan had once asked Ji Zhengyang before about the matters concerning his mother too, but Ji Zhengyang did not utter a single word about this.


    He only told Ye Yuan that his mother was already dead.


    As a result, Ye Yuan did not think that much either.


    Only reaching this life did Ye Yuan feel maternal love from Ren Hongling.


    Now, he actually had an inexplicable mother pop out.


    Furthermore, this mother even originated from the dragon race.


    All of this seemed to be a fantasy tale!


    But if not for so, how could he accomplish it with high proficiency when he cultivated dragon race martial techniques?


    Even the divine rank dragon wave, Ye Yuan learned it within an inconceivable amount of time too.


    Such talent, it was already not enough to use monstrous to describe it.


    "That is, of course! How can a human possibly possess an atavism dragon soul?" The other Ye Yuan gave such an answer.


    "Then �� who in the world is my mother?"


    When he asked this, Ye Yuan''s emotions were actually somewhat flustered.


    After all, towards this incomparably mysterious mother, Ye Yuan still held some awe �� as well as grievances.


    "Very sorry, I don''t know either! I''m just your other half. In this respect, what I know isn''t much more than you. This query needs you to unravel it yourself!"


    The other party''s answer greatly disappointed Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Fine then. Then �� what''s the use of you appearing as well?"


    "To impart you the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art Divine Dao chapter!" said the other Ye Yuan coolly.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, but he still said disappointedly, "It''s no use, I already don''t have time to go comprehend the divine inscriptions."


    The other Ye Yuan said, "Don''t need to comprehend. As long as I fuse into one with you, you''ll naturally know it!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help opening his eyes wide and said, "You aren''t joking, right? How can divine inscriptions possibly not need to be comprehended?"


    The other Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The Atavism Dragon Soul is the strongest among all of the demon races'' physiques, not one of! Because this kind of physique possesses all of the dragon race''s first ancestor''s memories! In theory, one is capable of fully reaching the dragon race''s first ancestor''s height! As long as one is capable of awakening the inheritance memories, this dragon race descendant will be able to directly learn this cultivation skill and martial technique! Of course, the hardest part about the Atavism Dragon Soul is also awakening!"


    Ye Yuan was extremely alarmed when he heard. No wonder the White Tiger Spirit was so jealous back then. It turned out that this physique was actually freakish to such an extent!


    Divine inscriptions this kind of profound and hard to fathom things, one would actually immediately learn it!


    That was also to say that as long as one completely awakened the Atavism Dragon Soul, they would be able to become the second dragon race''s founding ancestor!


    What kind of existence the dragon race''s founding ancestor was, Ye Yuan was not clear at all.


    But Ye Yuan felt that it was very likely an Origin Deity Realm existence!


    "Then �� how did I awaken the Atavism Dragon Soul?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    The other Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Originally, the first time you awakened should be the moment you corroborate your Dao and become a deity. But with your powerful will plus your unyieldingness and unwillingness to take things lying down, all these made you successfully awaken a small portion of the Atavism Dragon Soul!"Chinese dragons have antler like horns.

 1193 Not Waiting Overnight to Take Revenge!

    Ye Yuan, at this time, was like a sieve, spraying blood from head to toe, looking very savage and terrifying.


    If not for the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, he would have already died God knows how many times.


    Fiery''s complexion flickered incessantly, tears already welling up in his eyes, his entire body shaking.


    He knew that Ye Yuan already reached the brink of death and likely could not hold on much longer.


    "Y-Your Excellency, nothing must happen to you! You �� Quickly wake up!"


    Meng Guang was powerless to do anything by the side and was full of worries.


    He felt that Ye Yuan was an extraordinary great figure. Just now, if it were somebody else, they would probably have long left him behind.


    But Ye Yuan did not forget to bring him away before he left.


    To Ye Yuan, he was just an insignificant minor character.


    But Ye Yuan brought him along without any hesitation.


    At that moment, he was absolutely a burden to Ye Yuan.


    Hence, the agitation in Meng Guang''s heart could not be expressed using words.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s entire person looked very miserable. He had clearly already reached the verge of death.


    But just as Fiery and Meng Guang lost all hope, a miraculous scene occurred.


    Those cracked open wounds on Ye Yuan''s body were actually slowly healing!


    Ye Yuan, who was originally on his dying breath already, his life force thriving once more as well.


    Even though this process was rather slow, but he was indeed recovering.


    The Tiger Dragon Creation Pill''s medicinal strength was still overbearing, but the recovery speed of Ye Yuan''s body had already surpassed the speed of his destruction.


    Under the powerful protection of the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, Ye Yuan''s body was frenziedly absorbing the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill''s medicinal strength.


    His fleshly body was also breaking through rapidly!


    Ye Yuan awakening the Atavism Dragon Soul one time, he immediately comprehended the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s Divine Dao chapter.


    Just like the other him said, he did not need to comprehend at all and immediately understood it.


    It was just a shame that his awakening this time only had the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s first level.


    The Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s Divine Dao chapter was similarly divided into nine levels. For Ye Yuan to want to cultivate the cultivation method at the back, he still required another fortuitous awakening.


    Furthermore, to really unleash the might of the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, one required a corresponding level of physical body to match it.


    With Ye Yuan''s current physical body, even if he comprehended the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s first level, it was also completely different compared to a Deity Realm powerhouse casting it.


    Without going through mystic qi flooding the body and achieving Deity Realm, the so-called grand completion realm was merely a joke.


    The power of Deity Realm was not what Dao Profound Realm could surmise.


    Of course, even so, with the augmentation of Divine Dao laws, Ye Yuan''s speed of recovering the fleshly body increased more than 10 times over!


    The Atavism Dragon Soul''s first awakening was normally when breaking through to Deity Realm. Ye Yuan''s awakening this time was still because it was triggered by the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art in the end.


    Hence, the inheritance that he grasped was pitifully little.


    But the awakening this time was not that useless either.


    Apart from the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, he even grasped another dragon race martial technique!


    ...


    Under the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill''s overbearing medicinal strength, Ye Yuan broke through to peak Tier 9 very quickly!


    But it was not over yet. The medicinal strength of the arcane insight rank Tiger Dragon Creation Pill was too tyrannical.


    Ye Yuan''s fleshly body rushed toward the realm of Tier 9 grand completion.


    Following the increase in realm, plus the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s recovery ability, the medicinal strength of the Tiger Dragon Regeneration Art was no longer able to cause any damage to Ye Yuan.


    His appearance already recovered to his original appearance.


    When Fiery saw the situation, he could not help being overjoyed.


    "Double up, Fiery!" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    "Yes, Big Brother!" Fiery said with an excited look.


    Pulling through the most difficult hurdle, there were no more obstacles at the back.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan''s fleshly body finally broke through to Tier 9 grand completion!


    At this point, Ye Yuan''s Essence and Spirit, two paths, both reached the realm of grand completion, only missing an essence energy realm.


    As long as essence energy realm reached peak Divine King, he would reach the qualifications to assault the Deity Realm!


    As for the realm of Void Mystic, Ye Yuan did not need to go through it at all.


    Moreover, his concepts comprehensions had long already thrown Void Mystic Realm powerhouses behind God knows how many times.


    "Fiery, use your full power, refine!" Ye Yuan commanded once more.


    Fiery drew a deep breath, instantly urged the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame to the limits, and started refining the holy mother devil flowers!


    "Ugh ��"


    Ye Yuan''s complexion instantly turned red. That agony of being immolated instantly spread throughout his entire body, making him perspire profusely.


    Fiery had already comprehended Divine Dao laws currently. The might of the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, even if Ye Yuan reached grand completion realm, it was hard to resist it too.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art and crazily recovered the internal injuries.


    Although the holy mother devil flowers were impressive, facing the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s full-power refinement, they were finally refined away bit by bit too.


    However, the most terrifying thing was not the holy mother devil flowers that grew, but those roots that had already penetrated into the internal organs.


    To Ye Yuan, right now was cutting away the flesh to treat the wounds!


    He was guiding the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, continuously burning his internal organs, completely eradicating those stubborn roots.


    This pain was enough to make the average martial artist go crazy and commit suicide!


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was fine, Meng Guang finally heaved a sigh in relief.


    But at this time, his heart could not help feeling sympathy again.


    He saw through some inklings and knew that Ye Yuan was using this sort of method to remove the holy mother devil flowers.


    From Ye Yuan''s sweat-covered forehead, he could guess how terrifying the pain Ye Yuan was suffering at this time.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not even furrow an eyebrow!


    This perseverance, this willpower, they made Meng Guang''s countenance greatly moved.


    He could not help secretly heaving a sigh, thinking to himself that it was indeed no accident that Ye Yuan could have today''s accomplishments.


    People only saw him rise with comet-like speed, but did not know how much effort that an ordinary person could not imagine was put in behind him.


    This was a true powerhouse!


    Finally, Ye Yuan spat out a long turbid breath.


    Meng Guang''s entire body trembled, and he sighed with admiration as he said, "Your Excellency is truly a god!"


    These few days of experiences, if it were others, they would probably have already died no less than 10 times.


    But Ye Yuan relied on his willpower and forcefully pulled through.


    This left him no choice but to admire.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said smilingly, "If I couldn''t resist, I would have to die. How to choose between life and death is very simple, right?"


    Meng Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Talking about it is easy, but with Your Excellency''s situation back then, probably 10 out of 10 people would choose death, right?"


    After all, a fate worse than death seemed to be more terrifying than death.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not say anything.


    Fiery asked concernedly, "Big Brother, how is it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, never been better than right now!"


    Fiery''s eyes lit up, making out that Ye Yuan''s words seemed to be insinuating something.


    "Big Brother, then we ��" Fiery asked probingly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Not waiting overnight to take revenge! That old demon hag made this young master suffer such a huge loss. Not teaching her a bit of a lesson, she''ll really think that this young master is easy to knead!"

 1194 Nine Transformations Golden Body

    "Lord Holy Mother, the matters over here are already settled properly. We can withdraw at any time," Da You said to Yue Ji with a bow.


    "En, let them withdraw at once then," Yue Ji said coolly.


    Da You thought about it and said, "Lord Holy Mother, three days'' time is about to pass. Would that Ye Yuan have ��"


    Yue Ji''s face turned cold, and she said, "Are you doubting this holy mother''s ability?"


    Don''t look at how Yue Ji was seductive and moving, having a grin on her face all day long. She was a true fiend who absolutely killed people without batting an eyelid.


    Even if Da You was her subordinate.


    "Subordinate dares not!" Da You hurriedly said.


    Yue Ji suddenly changed expressions and said brimming with confidence, "Even the Absolute Heaven of a million years ago, if he got hit by the flower poison, he had to obediently become my fiend slave too. Could a mere Dao Profound Realm brat still overturn the heavens? Look �� didn''t he come?"


    Yue Ji was just talking when Ye Yuan''s figure appeared in her line of sight.


    "Teehee, obedient Little Brother, quickly come over and let Elder Sister dotes on you well," Yue Ji said as she beckoned Ye Yuan with a smile.


    Ye Yuan did not speak either and just flew over to Yue Ji''s side.


    Yue Ji was smiling and even said to the Da You beside smugly, "Saw that, Da You? This is the son of heaven''s mandate. Now, he''s this holy mother''s fiend slave! Later, when we find Kanuo that fellow, this holy mother has to show off properly!"


    But Da You''s brows pressed together, and he said, "Lord Holy Mother, something seems to be �� not quite right!"


    "En?" Yue Ji froze. Looking over toward Ye Yuan, her expression could not help changing drastically.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was merely a thousand feet away from her. But a hint of a mocking smile flickered across the corners of his mouth.


    All of a sudden, Evil Extermination Sword attacked!


    Fury Sword Fire Lotus!


    Piercing cold killing intent locked onto Yue Ji firmly. Two mighty Divine Dao laws flagrantly attacked!


    The distance of a thousand feet was crossed in a flash.


    Yue Ji''s reaction could not be said to not be quick. Terrifying fiendish energy instantly erupted, wrapping herself up in protection.


    Boom!


    This sword slammed onto that cloud of black qi solidly. The energy undulations stirred up by two great Divine Dao laws smashed that cloud of black qi in deeply.


    That cloud of black qi was directly smashed flying ten thousand feet away!


    "Hahaha, old hag, just your bit of means also wish to subdue Lord Ye Yuan? Aren''t you guys involved in intelligence gathering? Don''t you know that Lord Ye Yuan''s title is ''Heaven Surmounting''?" Meng Guang looked at here from far away as he said mockingly with a loud laugh.


    The black qi dissipated, revealing Yue Ji''s and Da You''s figures.


    Yue Ji''s expression was ashen pale. A trace of blood covered the corners of her mouth too.


    But Da You''s situation was much worse than her. There was not an intact spot from head to toe, his entire physical body practically shattered mushy.


    "Old witch, how''s the taste of this sword?" Ye Yuan asked with a smile that was not a smile.


    The sneak attack just now succeeding, Ye Yuan immediately felt very liberated in his heart.


    Since reincarnating, Ye Yuan had experienced countless times of life and death. But there had never been one time as perilous as a few days ago.


    He even almost became somebody else''s slave.


    Although he survived the crisis, Ye Yuan still had indignation stifled in his heart.


    One sword succeeding, this turbid breath of Ye Yuan was also finally released.


    Yue Ji''s expression was very ugly. She was still showing off with Da You earlier, and now Ye Yuan gave her a slap with a backhand.


    The power of this sword was unbelievably astonishing. Even if it was her who was subjected to it, she suffered a considerable hidden loss too.


    Of course, the more important thing was that her face was utterly lost.


    "Impossible! The toxin of the devil flower is incurable! How did you do it?" Yue Ji still did not dare to believe it and questioned.


    As a heavenly fiendgod, an existence comparable to Origin Deity Realms, Yue Ji''s confidence was not without reason.


    Even she was unable to break through to the deity realm today, her methods were also not what ordinary humans could understand.


    But this time, she miscalculated!


    "Incurable, is it? Isn''t this young master perfectly well right now? Old witch, it''s best you don''t be too confident when conducting yourself as a person! Oh, this young master forgets, you''re not a person. Even as a fiend, don''t be too confident as well. Be careful of getting your face slapped!" Ye Yuan scoffed.


    Yue Ji''s expression flickered incessantly, becoming like a different person from that cheerful and lively appearance.


    She was not surprised by Ye Yuan''s sword, she was surprised that Ye Yuan was actually able to eradicate the devil flowers.


    "Humph! Boy, do you think that by resolving the flower toxin, you''re this holy mother''s match? You don''t think that that sword really had any effect against this holy mother, right?" Yue Ji said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Stop feigning! It''s true that you''re formidable, but you''re likely still far from recovering to your peak state, right? If you really have no misgivings at all, it''s impossible to let me leave freely on that day. If one slash doesn''t cut it, eight or ten slashes should be enough, right?"


    Yue Ji''s expression changed, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually perceived it so thoroughly.


    Being suppressed for a million years by Absolute Heaven, how could Yue Ji''s strength be capable of recovering in a short time?


    Taking action that day with Ye Yuan already hurt her vitality, virtually exhausting all of the Yang energy that she absorbed in these few months,


    Although that sword earlier could not hurt her foundation, if eight or ten swords were to come, it would really be quite enough for her to choke on.


    "Humph! That will also require you to have the ability to hit me first before saying! Do you think that this holy mother will still give you that opportunity just now? Prepare to die!"


    Yue Ji was incredibly enraged from embarrassment at this time. She drew out a vine from inside her body and charged over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit afraid. Stepping forward, he clashed together with Yue Ji.


    Two peerless experts facing off, that undulation was simply earth-shaking.


    "Huhu, still not bringing out your true capabilities? There''s no meaning in carrying on to fight like this! Or, have you already exhausted your tricks?" Ye Yuan taunted with a face full of ridicule.


    Although Yue Ji was stubborn, Ye Yuan could perceive that her strength compared to that day, was still quite a bit worse.


    The words that Yue Ji gave him on that day, Ye Yuan returned it in its entirety.


    "Brat, do you really take this holy mother to be easily bullied? Since you want to see this holy mother''s true ability, then you''ll have to be prepared to die."


    Yue Ji swayed lightly, retreating a thousand feet away.


    At the same time, fiendish energy surged on her body, long hair fluttering, looking extremely demonic.


    Yue Ji, who fully released fiendish energy, recovered to that holy mother who controlled everything again. It was only to see an alluring smile hanging on her face as she said, "This is Elder Sister''s strength. You got to receive it well! Thorns Covering the Skies!"


    Yue Ji''s fiendish energy stirred. Countless thorn spikes suddenly burst out from within the void, virtually enveloping Ye Yuan completely inside.


    Each one of these spikes was exactly the same as the spikes that stabbed Ye Yuan that day.


    Looks like Yue Ji really released a major move here!


    Ye Yuan''s provocation also made Yue Ji finally became genuinely enraged.


    She decided to utterly kill Ye Yuan this time!


    But Ye Yuan smiled indifferently. The fleshy body power of Tier 9 grand completion erupted fully!


    At this time, the skin all over Ye Yuan''s body became golden-colored, looking just like an arhat.


    Yue Ji''s expression instantly changed greatly as she cried out in horror, "Nine Transformations Golden Body! This �� How is this possible?"

 1195 Awakened Second Martial Technique!

    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan yelled out. Divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm shot forth!


    This Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was God knows how many times stronger compared to when at the Medicine King Hall.


    One palm releasing, it shattered all of the spikes to smithereens like breaking dead branches.


    Furthermore, the remaining momentum did not diminish, crushing over towards Yue Ji!


    Yue Ji''s expression changed drastically. Rolling fiendish energy seethed, clashing with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    However, it was to no avail!


    This palm of Ye Yuan''s was simply unstoppable. Although the fiendish energy was powerful, it could not stop the power of this palm at all!


    Ye Yuan''s body-refinement breaking through to the grand completion realm, his fleshy body power already reached the limits under Deity Realm. The power of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    But this was not the crux.


    The key was the Nine Transformations Golden Body!


    The Nine Transformations Golden Body was the body-refinement realm of Deity Realm powerhouses!


    Nine Transformations Golden Body, undying and imperishable!


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s was not the genuine Nine Transformations Golden Body.


    The arcane insight rank Tiger Dragon Creation Pill made Ye Yuan''s fleshy body had an additional trace of Dao accumulation of Deity Realm!


    Even though it was just a trace, the augmentation of Ye Yuan''s martial techniques was unimaginable.


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic and shrill cry sounded over. Yue Ji''s body was directly smashed into a lump of meat paste by this palm.


    "This �� Is this truly a martial technique that Divine King powerhouses can display?"


    Meng Guang was already dumbfounded from watching. He did not know what Nine Transformations Golden Body was, but this did not impede him from being astonished by the power of this palm.


    Using startling the universe and making gods and ghosts weep, was not the slightest bit overboard!


    This was a domineering crushing, a completely unreasonable overpowering.


    No matter how powerful you were, I just crush with a palm!


    "Big Brother �� He isn''t a Divine King powerhouse yet! But this palm is also too unreasonable." Fiery was also shocked by Ye Yuan''s palm.


    Meng Guang did not know Yue Ji''s terror, but Fiery was perfectly aware.


    The might of that slash from Evil Extermination back then was still vivid in Fiery''s mind.


    Such an attack could not even destroy Yue Ji. It could be seen how powerful her strength was.


    When Ye Yuan said to come and take revenge, Fiery actually still had no assurance in his heart.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan did not reveal anything either.


    Only all the way until now, when Ye Yuan completely erupted, did he know that Ye Yuan''s strength had another qualitative leap.


    Meng Guang nodded his head, strongly approving of Fiery''s appraisal.


    This palm could only use unreasonable to describe.


    "N-No way, right? Lord Holy Mother �� actually lost to this boy?" Da You was completely dumbfounded.


    In his eyes, Yue Ji was an undefeatable existence.


    In this world, only Lord Kanuo could rival Lord Holy Mother.


    Even though Yue Ji had yet to fully recover, it was totally impossible for ordinary human experts to be her match.


    However, Yue Ji was defeated just like this.


    "Fiery, Meng Guang, you guys retreat farther back," Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    The two people were stunned, not quite certain what he meant.


    But toward Ye Yuan''s words, they naturally would not have doubts. So they withdrew a thousand feet away.


    "Not enough, farther back!" Ye Yuan said again.


    The two people could only retreat several thousand feet again.


    "Farther even more!"


    "What medicine is His Excellency selling in his gourd? Could it be that that old witch is brewing some killing move, and he''s making us stay further away?" as Meng Guang walked, he said in puzzlement.


    "I don''t know either. But it looks like he''s considering our safety." Fiery said.


    "Lord Fiery, I say, that palm just now was so terrifying, that old witch isn''t dead yet?"


    "Heh, even an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse couldn''t kill that old witch and could only suppress her for a million years'' time. How could she die so easily?" Fiery said.


    Meng Guang stuck out his tongue, unbelievably shocked.


    He did not know what Origin Deity Realm was. But ''Deity Realm,'' these two words were already enough for him to understand.


    "No wonder someone as powerful as His Excellency suffered a major loss at her hands too! But now, he gained back some ground already, hahaha," Meng Guang said with a laugh.


    Fiery also smiled.


    To them, these few days could really use overwhelming sorrow and joy to describe.


    Ye Yuan''s life hung by a thread and almost died.


    This also made them hate Yue Ji, this old witch, to the bones.


    Ye Yuan''s overpowering quashing also made them feel the delight of avenging a great enmity.


    Swoosh ��


    A cloud of black gas turned into an arc of light, fleeing towards the distance.


    "Brat, you remember for this old lady! Today''s enmity, this old lady will make you pay it back twofold!"


    In the black gas, came Yue Ji''s shriek.


    Clearly, she already hated Ye Yuan to the bones.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "Old witch, you''re already getting on in years. Better rest and recuperate more. This young master �� will send you off again!"


    Ye Yuan took his time and took a deep breath.


    "Roar!"


    A dragon roar that shook heaven and earth instantly rippled out!


    Da You, who was closest to Ye Yuan, was immediately shook into a pile of sludge by this dragon roar.


    Even that fiendish energy was also shook until it completely dissipated!


    A powerhouse who was close to the holy emperor realm was utterly wiped out just like that.


    Voice of the Dragon God!


    This move was one of the supreme martial techniques that the dragon race already lose: Voice of the Dragon God!


    Ye Yuan awakened the Atavism Dragon Soul, and the second martial technique that he learned was the Voice of the Dragon God!


    At this moment, there did not seem to be other voices in this world. Only Ye Yuan''s dragon roar remained!


    That terrifying power made heaven and earth change color!


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    A shrill and miserable cry sounded out. It was just that Yue Ji''s voice was completely unable to transmit out.


    Under the Voice of the Dragon God, everything was empty!


    Yue Ji''s body abruptly came to a stop, being nailed in the air firmly.


    She was originally already seriously injured. How could she be capable of resisting such a terrifying Divine Dao martial technique?


    Her fiendish energy surged to the skies. Even if she was forced back to her original form by Ye Yuan with one palm, the fiendish energy did not diminish in the slightest.


    But at this moment, under Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God, her cloud of black gas actually showed signs of dissipating!


    The Voice of the Dragon God transmitted over ceaselessly. That cloud of black gas became thinner and thinner!


    Fiery and Meng Guang, the two people, used their hands to cover their ears tightly at this time. Exchanging a glance, they both saw deep astoundment from the other''s eyes.


    When did Ye Yuan learn such a terrifying martial technique again?


    Compared to that unreasonable palm earlier, this sound wave attack was clearly even more terrifying!


    No wonder Ye Yuan made them go further away. It turned out that it was actually this reason!


    Even if Ye Yuan was not unleashing this martial technique against them, the two of them also felt like their internal organs were almost shattering.


    This was even with them going so far away. If it was nearby, even if Ye Yuan was not unleashing the martial technique against them, it would likely shock them until they were ground to dust too.


    However, right at this moment, the Voice of the Dragon God abruptly cut off!


    "Hahaha �� Too bad! Just missing that little bit more! If you''re able to break through to Deity Realm, this holy mother might have to die in your hands today. It''s too bad that it''s just lacking a tiny bit! Boy, today''s grudge, this old lady has remembered it! When this old lady recovers my strength, I''ll definitely grind your bones to powder and make mincemeat of your flesh!"


    That shrill voice of Yue Ji''s came over, mixed with ecstasy, mixed with fury, and mixed with boundless hatred inside!

 1196 Heavens Secret Tower Stirs Again

    Two consecutive ''too bad'' revealed Yue Ji''s lingering fear in her heart.


    Indeed, just a little more, and Ye Yuan would be able to kill her!


    Just missing a tiny bit only!


    That was a genuine death.


    Within one million years, it was Yue Ji''s first time truly facing death.


    Even when facing Daoist Absolute Heaven''s sealing, she was not so terrified nor gave up all hope before either.


    The Voice of the Dragon God was well-deserving of being the dragon race''s supreme martial technique. The terror of this sound wave attack actually almost forcefully scattered Heavenly Fiendgod Yue Ji!


    Ye Yuan was within an inch of completing a great feat that nobody could accomplish for a million years.


    It was unfortunate that it fell short of success at the last stage.


    Because the current Ye Yuan was already extremely overdrawn.


    If the Voice of the Dragon God continued, he himself would croak first before Yue Ji died.


    Don''t look at how the power of the Voice of the Dragon God was great; the consumption was exceedingly terrifying too.


    If not because of the Nine Transformations Golden Body, Ye Yuan probably could not even last the time of a breath.


    Even so, he also merely held it there for the time of three breaths!


    Once three breaths were up, Ye Yuan was no longer able to continue.


    Actually, even if he had the Nine Transformations Golden Body, Ye Yuan was at most able to persevere for two breaths of time as well.


    That remaining one breath was exchanged by him with his life!


    Regarding the Voice of the Dragon God''s power, Ye Yuan was very surprised too.


    Therefore, he overdrew his physical strength to the verge of collapse before having no choice but to stop with regrets.


    Ye Yuan collapsed weakly and virtually could not even speak.


    Fiery''s expression changed. Figure flashing, he hurriedly supported Ye Yuan.


    "Big Brother, are you alright?" Fiery asked worriedly.


    Ye Yuan opened his mouth with difficulty but did not even emit a single sound.


    Actually, Fiery wanted to go and chase after Yue Ji. Except, seeing Ye Yuan''s situation, how could he still leave?


    With no other alternatives, Fiery could only watch Yue Ji escape helplessly.


    Meng Guang''s strength was too weak. Even if he was very far away, he was also shocked by Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God until he was muddled up at this time too, and was completely unable to come and take care of Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Yue Ji escape, Fiery could only heave a long sigh and secretly lament.


    "Big Brother, you''re messing around too much! How could such a terrifying Divine Dao martial technique be what you''re capable of displaying right now?" Fiery looked at Ye Yuan and grumbled.


    Ye Yuan moved his lips and barely managed to smile.


    He did not regret it. He would really regret it if he did not give it a shot!


    At the very least, he knew now that these heavenly fiendgods were not really unkillable.


    As long as you were powerful enough, you could similarly kill them!


    Of course, Ye Yuan also knew that the reason why he almost killed Yue Ji was that he was standing on the shoulder of giants.


    If not for Daoist Absolute Heaven''s one million years of suppression, making Yue Ji suffer a great loss in vitality, he would not have this chance either.


    ...


    This rest was a month''s time!


    Ye Yuan''s exhaustion this time nearly damaged his foundations.


    Even with the help of medicinal pills, he used a month''s time before fully recovering too.


    Taking care of Ye Yuan these few days, he also finally got to know about the fiend race''s sequence of events from Ye Yuan and Fiery''s mouth.


    His worship towards Ye Yuan simply reached a point where it could not be any greater.


    Of course, what made him admire even more was still Ye Yuan''s behavior!


    Regardless of whether it was cardinal principles of righteousness or trivial matters, Ye Yuan had no fault to nitpick.


    In cardinal principles of righteousness, Ye Yuan narrowly escaped death and fought the fiend race''s heavenly fiendgod valiantly. In trifling matters, when he fled in the face of danger, he even did not forget to bring him, a minor character, along.


    Ever since then, Meng Guang followed Ye Yuan wholeheartedly.


    On this day, Gu Yongtang came to the Moonhowl Sect and found Ye Yuan.


    "Lord Mystic Lord, the news over here, this lowly one has already sent it to the organization. Lord Teng made me pass a message to you to tell you sorry for causing you so much trouble. Lord Teng that side seriously couldn''t make time. Your Excellency, please forgive me," Gu Yongtang bowed and saluted as he said.


    Toward this one in front of him, Gu Yongtang also admired endlessly.


    The other day, Ye Yuan made Meng Guang bring Gu Yongtang over.


    He learned the information of Yue Ji being at the Moonhowl Sect, and his astonishment could not be any greater too.


    It was just that he could not quite understand how in the world Ye Yuan survived under Yue Ji''s hands.


    The specifics of the battle process, Ye Yuan did not overly describe as well.


    How strong Yue Ji''s strength was, Gu Yongtang was all too clear.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually still survive under the situation where he was seriously injured.


    Then there was only one possibility, Yue Ji also sustained serious injuries!


    Ye Yuan fought her off!


    With that in mind, Gu Yongtang threw himself at Ye Yuan''s feet in admiration.


    But Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "This time, it fell just one step short of success, failing to live up to Brother Teng''s trust. The failure this time alerted the enemy. Most likely, the fiend calamity''s eruption already can''t be avoided."


    "Your Excellency, don''t have to blame yourself. This isn''t Sir''s fault. Nobody could have expected that there was actually a heavenly fiendgod hiding in the Moonhowl Sect! If he had known earlier, Lord Teng would probably have come over personally!" Gu Yongtang said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not say anything.


    Since he did not kill Yue Ji, he could not say much either.


    The Voice of the Dragon God was currently his strongest ace in the hole. He naturally would not tell Gu Yongtang.


    As for Gu Yongtang''s misunderstanding, he obviously would not clarify either.


    Ye Yuan''s regret was not that he did not obtain the fiend race''s intel, but because he did not kill Yue Ji.


    Except, even if one gave Gu Yongtang several galls, he also did not dare think that Ye Yuan actually had the ability to kill Yue Ji!


    After all, this sort of thing, even Absolute Heaven could not do it.


    "This matter is over. I wonder if Sir is returning to the dragon clan? Yongtang can represent Sir to make arrangements," Gu Yongtang asked.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "There''s no need. This young master isn''t returning to the dragon clan for the time being. You go back and report on the task then. It''s none of your business here anymore."


    The Moonhowl Sect was already destroyed. Gu Yongtang naturally did not have the need to be undercover anymore. Their hidden base naturally had to be evacuated too.


    Gu Yongtang received the order and left. Meng Guang could not help asking curiously, "Your Excellency, if we''re not going to the dragon clan, where are we going?"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Chaotic Devil Sea!"


    Meng Guang''s expression turned fearful but did not know what Ye Yuan was going to the Chaotic Devil Sea for.


    ...


    Just as Ye Yuan was heading for the Chaotic Devil Sea, the Heaven''s Secret Tower threw out another heavyweight bombshell!


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower announced to the world that 10 days later, the Ten Great Divine Kings would have some changes once more!


    This news was like a bolt out of the blue, immediately stirring up the entire Divine Realm.


    "What the hell is this? The new issue of Ten Great Divine Kings was just published for a few months. Could the Heaven''s Secret Tower be overthrowing it again?"


    "Yeah! The last time they published the Ten Great Divine Kings was something that happened 2000 years ago. This time, it''s just a few months?"


    "Could it be that one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, or perhaps two, had breakthroughs recently, and surpassed the front rankings?"


    "If I were to say, the new rankings this time might still have something to do with the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"


    "En, I feel the same way too! The release this time might just be for error correction! After all, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually fought with the Grand Yan Divine King until they were evenly-matched in strength!"


    ...


    Various versions of speculations flew everywhere, making this action of the Heaven''s Secret Tower become even more unfathomable.


    Even though the Heaven''s Secret Tower never played cards according to convention, this time was also truly too ridiculous.


    How could the Ten Great Divine Kings, this kind of authoritative powerhouse ranking, be changed willy-nilly?

 1197 Tan Sis Death

    After a time interval of several months, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King made his way up the Heaven''s Secret Tower once more.


    Ending on a sour note the last time, Zhuge Qingxuan had always taken it to heart.


    But the news that followed in quick succession made him very surprised.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was actually really sufficient to enter the ranks of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Furthermore, he actually fought to a draw with Lu Linfeng!


    Even though he felt that there was some suspicions on Lu Linfeng going easy, this news was already enough to shock him.


    But he did not think that the Heaven''s Secret Tower really announced that they were going to change the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    In his view, that mysterious fellow must have come to a compromise with him.


    No matter what, he, this present Divine Realm''s number one person, was no joke.


    Of course, this did not count that person inside.


    Still behind the black curtain, still so mysterious.


    "Heh, didn''t expect that you finally still compromised! You can rest assured, the promise that this seat made before is still valid!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.


    The other party was silent.


    Zhuge Qingxuan continued, "Whatever terms your Heaven''s Secret Tower have, just put it forward! Kicking Ye Yuan out of the Ten Great Divine Kings this time also made things difficult for you guys. Rest assured, this seat will find an opportunity to kill them. As long as he''s erased, naturally no one will dare to question your alteration."


    Rather than saying Zhuge Qingxuan was arrogant and conceited, it was better to say that he showed disdain on the world and was brimming with confidence.


    In his view, only he, Zhuge Qingxuan, was able to make the incomparably mysterious Heaven''s Secret Tower change the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    It was still silent behind the black curtain. Only after a long time did he slowly said, "The alteration this time is because of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. But �� it''s not what you think."


    The meaning of the words was that you were under the delusion that the other party was willing.


    Sure enough, Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, "What do you mean?"


    The other party said coolly, "After a few days, you''ll understand. Heaven''s secrets cannot be divulged!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s face turned black, ten thousand profanities galloped across his heart.


    This guy harped on these one or two sentences over and over again, in a secretive manner.


    Most importantly, the other party would not give him face no matter what.


    He originally thought that the change this time was because he wanted to kick Ye Yuan out of the Ten Great Divine Kings. He did not expect that it was not the case at all.


    Not only was it not, hearing the meaning in the other party''s words, it seemed like there was even a possibility of going further.


    This was simply too ridiculous, too repulsive!


    One had to know that between the Ten Great Divine Kings''s sixth and fifth place, there was a considerable gap in strength.


    Could Ye Yuan still have a possibility of jostling the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, down?


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower had always ranked the Ten Great Divine Kings according to strength. Could it be that in this short few months'' time, Ye Yuan''s strength actually had such a great leap?


    How was this possible?


    "Good, good, good! I''ll go and kill this boy right now. This seat wants to take a look at how you''ll announce the Ten Great Divine Kings this time!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan was livid until blue veins throbbed, saying three ''good''s in a row.


    He could not do anything to this mysterious powerhouse. But toward Ye Yuan, he did not have that many misgivings.


    Done talking, Zhuge Qingxuan flicked his sleeves and left.


    But the mysterious powerhouse did not have the intention of stopping.


    After Zhuge Qingxuan left, another figure came out from inside.


    If Zhuge Qingxuan was here, he would recognize that this person was none other than precisely the Spirit Bristle Divine King, Teng Yun!


    The Spirit Bristle Divine King, this kind of major power, was actually able to show up in the Holy City noiselessly, and appear in the Heaven''s Secret Tower.


    This mysterious powerhouse''s means were truly inconceivable!


    But at this time, the Spirit Bristle Divine King gave a bow towards that mysterious powerhouse behind the black curtains respectfully and said, "Elder Xuan, is it really fine to let Zhuge Qingxuan go and find Ye Yuan unchecked like so?"


    If the world were to see this scene, they would definitely be shocked until their eyeballs fell out.


    The Divine Realm''s number two divine king was actually so respectful towards a mysterious powerhouse. Going out and saying it, probably nobody would believe it either.


    "Ye Yuan''s strength is greater than you imagine!" said the mysterious powerhouse coolly.


    The Spirit Bristle Divine King was slightly surprised and said, "In that case, Sikong Shang can''t escape his doom this time?"


    "Huhu, just you wait and see," said the mysterious powerhouse who smiled slightly.


    Massive waves stirred up in the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s heart. When he and Ye Yuan parted, Ye Yuan could not even take a single move from Zhuge Qingxuan.


    Just how long had it been, could it be that Ye Yuan already grew to the extent where it was enough to cut down the Darkness Divine King?


    This boy was truly too monstrous, right?


    ...


    "You guys, look! That young man seems to be Ye Yuan!"


    "It really is! It''s already been ten years, right? At that time, heard that he died in the Heavenly Slaughter Pit. Didn''t expect that he actually showed up in the Asura Arena again."


    "Back then, Ye Yuan''s name shook the Asura Arena! The 12 Exalts, each and every one was all vying to have him."


    "His strength is too formidable. Back then, when activating Asura Mode, he actually succeeded in the challenge. This had never been done by anyone for tens of thousands of years!"


    "Oh, right, the Heaven''s Secret Tower announced that the sixth divine king is also called Ye Yuan. It wouldn''t be �� him, right?"


    "Haha, you really come up with the wildest fantasy! When Ye Yuan came in at that time, he was merely a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist. Now, only ten years have gone by, even if his talent was any greater, it''s also not possible to be so monstrous, right?"


    Back then, Ye Yuan swept across the Asura Arena. Especially activating suicide mode, it attracted large groups of martial artists to surround and watch.


    Those people still had a very strong impression of Ye Yuan. Hence, the moment Ye Yuan entered the Asura Arena, he was recognized by some meddlesome people.


    It was just that, in their view, this Ye Yuan just had a duplicate name with the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, Ye Yuan.


    In ten years'' time, a Heaven Enlightenment Realm powerhouse growing to join the Ten Great Divine Kings, this was something totally impossible to happen.


    But even so, it did not hinder their feelings of worship and fear towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had the Absolute Kill Token in his hands. Entering the Asura Arena naturally did not pose any problems.


    He found a martial artist whose strength was decent and went up to ask, "Let me ask you, is the Demon King and Tan Si still at the Asura Arena now?"


    Back then, Ye Yuan left in a hurry and could be said to have fled in panic, and did not bring them away.


    Now that ten years had passed, Ye Yuan naturally had to find these few acquaintances when returning to the Asura Arena.


    It was just that upon Ye Yuan''s query, that martial artist''s expression became very ugly.


    Ye Yuan''s heart sunk, and he said in a cold voice, "Speak! How are they?"


    Ye Yuan''s grand completion Slaughter Concept opened up fully. That martial artist felt like he was already almost going into shock.


    "I �� I''ll talk, I''ll talk! The demon king left the Asura Arena not long after you left. As for Tan Si �� he died!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said, "Who killed him?"


    Although Ye Yuan and Tan Si did not have a deep friendship, he served as his guide for a period of time at any rate.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he was actually killed. How could Ye Yuan not be furious?


    "It �� It was Exalt Coldblood!" That person said.


    "Weren''t exalts unable to make a move against people below?" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    "Y-Your Excellency, back then after you left, Tan Si soared rapidly all the way, rising to the position of an exalt! But on the first day he became an exalt, he was killed by Exalt Coldblood!" said that martial artist.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing murderous intent.


    "What a terrific Coldblood! It looks like we have to settle this score properly today!" Ye Yuan said coldly.Elder, in this case, means Senior, not sect elder.

 1198 Kneel or Not Kneel?!

    Boom!


    Asura City''s sixth level, a pavilion directly had half of it smashed by Ye Yuan with one palm.


    "Motherf*cker! Who did it! Who dares to act wildly at my Coldblood Pavilion?! Are you tired of living?!"


    "Who! Who the hell did it! Get out here for Your Father!"


    "Don''t you know that the Coldblood Pavilion is shielded by Exalt Coldblood? Who the hell is so brave?"


    ...


    A group of people ate a stomach full of dust and came out of the pavilion cussing away, very arrogantly.


    Coldblood was the number two exalt right now, his status second only to Exalt Netherkill. Therefore, his men under his command were very arrogant too. Practically nobody dared to provoke.


    Ten years passed, Coldblood groomed another large batch of Phaseless Realm experts under him, roaming the sixth level without any scruples.


    A young man, holding a tablet in his hand, slowly came in front of everyone.


    "Starting from now, all the way until Coldblood comes, you guys all have to kowtow to my friend non-stop! Make it loud! If this young master can''t hear the sound, I''ll make a flower bloom on your heads," Ye Yuan said coldly.


    There were probably a hundred people that came out from the Coldblood Pavilion.


    These people were all Phaseless Realm martial artists. There was even quite a number that was just a step away from Dao Profound.


    They exchanged a glance and suddenly startled chortling with laughter.


    "Hahaha �� you''re killing your Lord Xiong! In this Asura Arena, there has yet to be anybody who dares to speak to our Coldblood Pavilion like this. Where did this boy come from, are you here to amuse your Lord Xiong?"


    The sixth level martial artists who had seen Ye Yuan before were all dead.


    These few guys did not know Ye Yuan''s terror.


    Not just them, each and every one of those onlooking martial artists also felt that Ye Yuan was being a joke.


    He was afraid of scaring away Coldblood and deliberately suppressed his realm to Phaseless Realm.


    Therefore, in these people''s view, Ye Yuan''s action was not much different from seeking death.


    In the entire Asura Arena, only Exalt Netherkill dared to provoke Exalt Coldblood.


    Whoosh!


    Puchi!


    Ye Yuan''s finger lightly flicked. A streak of tiny sword energy suddenly burst forth, piercing straight through Lord Xiong''s head.


    Lord Xiong opened his eyes wide. He could not believe it until he died, that this young man before his eyes actually killed him so nonchalantly.


    "Now, will you kowtow?" Ye Yuan said unhurriedly.


    Piercing cold killing intent instantly filled the entire plaza!


    "Grand Completion Slaughter Concept!"


    With this, everyone was stunned!


    This unknown youngster actually cultivated the Slaughter Concept to grand completion!


    One had to know that even the 12 Exalts, not one among them has someone who cultivated the Slaughter Concept to grand completion!


    Exalt Netherkill only cultivated to the level of nine stars and did not reach grand completion.


    A terrifying killing intent immediately pressured those Coldblood Pavilion''s martial artists until they knelt down.


    Such power was not what they were capable of resisting at all.


    At this time, they finally knew the disparity between them and Ye Yuan.


    Although similarly Phaseless Realm, they were not even fit to carry Ye Yuan''s shoes!


    Plus, Ye Yuan killed Lord Xiong the moment he came without even blinking. How could they still dare to resist? One by one, they started kowtowing towards Tan Si''s tablet.


    "Lord Tan, we were wrong!"


    "Lord Tan, if you know about this in the netherworld, let this lord spare us!"


    ...


    These people all started to wail tragically, like their parents died, all banging their heads away.


    It would not do if it did not sound out, this killing god was really too terrifying.


    Even if these people were guys who were numb from killing people, they would not be foolish enough to treat their lives as a joke.


    Ye Yuan had lived around here before and knew the rules here.


    If you wanted to make them submit, you would have to kill until their blood ran cold.


    Hence, he killed Lord Xiong with ruthless measures the moment he came up, then displayed his strength. They would be very obedient.


    Ye Yuan knew that the 12 Exalts all had their own eyes and ears here. The news over here would reach Coldblood''s ears very soon.


    Humiliating his subordinates like so, he would definitely come out.


    Sure enough, in less than an hour, a cold voice arrived high up in the air.


    The person had yet to arrive, but the voice reached first!


    "Where did this trash come from, to actually dare climb on top of this seat''s head!"


    A figure floated down. It was precisely the Coldblood who he had not seen for many years.


    The moment Coldblood landed, he saw the young man across from him, currently looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    Coldblood''s expression changed, and he blurted out, "Ye Yuan! It''s actually you!"


    When he saw Ye Yuan, he was shocked at first. After all, the impression that Ye Yuan left on him was seriously too deep.


    But when he noticed that Ye Yuan was only at the peak Phaseless Realm, his heart landed.


    After that, his gaze fell on Tan Si''s tablet. A hint of a mocking smile flashed past the corners of his mouth as he said, "Are you here to help this fool take revenge? Huhu, with just the likes of your Ninth Level Phaseless strength?"


    To be honest, when he learned that there was someone called Ye Yuan among the Ten Great Divine Kings, he was truly wracked with fear and anxiety.


    But now, when he saw Ye Yuan''s realm, he was completely relieved.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said coolly, "Kneel down now and give Tan Si a few kowtows! This young master can give you a chance to end yourself. Otherwise �� your fate will be worse than death!"


    It was as if Coldblood heard some hilarious joke, letting out a wild laugh as he said, "Let this seat kowtow? With just the likes of you? Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, you really don''t know how the word death is written! You don''t think that so many years, this seat''s strength has remained stagnant and didn''t advance all along, right?"


    Done talking, Coldblood''s aura released fully, and was shockingly Third Level Dao Profound strength!


    Ye Yuan smiled and took a step forward!


    But just this one step, the situation changed drastically!


    Ye Yuan''s aura instantly soared to First Level Dao Profound.


    But Ye Yuan''s aura was not merely the suppression of cultivation realm.


    His Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths, all practically reached the extent of grand completion now. The moment his aura released, it was truly heaven and earth changing colors because of it!


    Boom!


    Just First Level Dao Profound power already utterly overpowered Coldblood''s Third Level Dao Profound.


    Coldblood''s expression changed. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually concealed his strength!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan took another step out, his aura rising tenfold again!


    Coldblood discovered to his astonishment that he was actually shackled by Ye Yuan''s aura, completely unable to move.


    He felt as if there was somebody pressing on him from behind, pressing him towards the ground!


    "Kneel or not kneel?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Coldblood''s expression was incomparably ugly. But he still said stubbornly, "Want to make this seat kneel, in your next life!"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled, and he took another step out!


    Boom!


    Third Level Dao Profound!


    It was only to hear a thud. Coldblood could not resist anymore, overwhelmed by Ye Yuan until he knelt down!


    "Kowtow!"


    Ye Yuan only lightly spat a word out of his mouth, revealing killing intent.


    Thick fear exuded out of Coldblood''s eyes. He never thought that not only did Ye Yuan conceal his strength, he even concealed so much.


    The current Ye Yuan was already what he could not even look up to.


    This strength was too scary!


    He was originally even counting on Exalt Netherkill to come and save him. But now, he knew that if he still did not kowtow, there was only death!


    Now, only by waiting for his master to arrive could he be saved.


    With extreme unwillingness, Coldblood finally prostrated down ��

 1199 The Taste of Despair

    Ye Yuan''s domineeringness shocked everyone!


    "S-So strong! Just by relying on coercion, he overwhelmed Exalt Coldblood until he knelt down!"


    "Ye Yuan, this name seems to be exactly the same as the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. He wouldn''t �� be the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, right?"


    "No way! This Ye Yuan should be that one who rose to fame ten years ago in the Asura Arena! He was merely Heaven Enlightenment Realm back then. It''s just ten year''s time, how could he possibly became one of the Ten Great Divine Kings?"


    ...


    People speculated about Ye Yuan''s identity one after another. But there were still many people who were not willing to believe that this Ye Yuan was the Heaven Surmounting Divine King.


    After all, breaking through from Heaven Enlightenment Realm to the boundary of the Ten Great Divine Kings within ten years, this was too exaggerated.


    Ten Great Divine Kings, which one did not reach such heights only after thousands of years of accumulation?


    The Chaotic Devil Sea had never been a reasonable place. The high and mighty exalts would also lower their proud heads in front of absolute strength.


    It was just that, barely anyone had that strength.


    But Ye Yuan had it!


    Ye Yuan glanced at Tan Si''s tablet and secretly sighed as he said, "You and I didn''t have a deep friendship. But I brought you into the firepit. This farce today, take it as a memorial ceremony for you."


    Back then, the outside world did not know what happened inside the Heavenly Slaughter Pit at all. Tan Si even thought that Ye Yuan met with a mishap inside.


    He completely did not expect that Coldblood had long already targeted him.


    The reason was that he had a close relationship with Ye Yuan.


    Bang, bang, bang.


    Coldblood''s kowtowing sounds were heavy but rhythmic.


    No matter what, his face was completely utterly swept away today.


    "Alright, take your own life! Of course, I can give you a chance to challenge me. But, you have to be prepared to never reincarnate for all of eternity!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The pressure on Coldblood''s body immediately eased up. But the heavy weight in his heart did not ease up in the slightest.


    The two choices that Ye Yuan gave him were both death!


    Making him take his own life just like this, he was naturally unwilling.


    But making him never to reincarnate for all of eternity, he still felt terror.


    But, witnessing Ye Yuan''s strength, he knew that he absolutely had no chance of victory.


    Coldblood''s gaze swiveled all around. He was waiting for reinforcements!


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up, his entire person rousing up. The previous shadow was swept clean.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    11 figures landed. Coldblood was overjoyed and said, "Big Brother Netherkill, you finally came!"


    At this time, he felt like his soul was almost leaving his body.


    The pressure that Ye Yuan put on him was too great. Just earlier, he was virtually really going to take his own life.


    "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, so what even if you concealed your strength? With Big Brother Netherkill around, can you overturn the heavens still?" Coldblood said with a wild laugh.


    At this time, he had the exhilaration of face-slapping!


    Weren''t you making me take my own life? Now, I''ll see how you posture still!


    He knew that Netherkill''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds these few years and already reached Seventh Level Dao Profound!


    Furthermore, behind Netherkill was his master!


    Ye Yuan looked at Coldblood with an amused look and said smilingly, "If I want to kill you, nobody can stop it."


    Coldblood laughed loudly and said, "Who doesn''t know how to brag?! Ye Yuan, do you really take us 12 Exalts to be someone who only knows how to eat rice and do nothing?"


    Back then, in the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, a large group of the 12 Exalts died. Now, these 12 Exalts, clearly changed another batch.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Otherwise, what do you think?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored Coldblood as well and said to Netherkill, "Have Sikong Shang come. This young master came to return the enmity of a palm!"


    Netherkill said, "Master is already on the way over. He says that he needs your divine artifact!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Is that so? Then you let him hurry up. Oh, right, this young master will send you on your way first. Looking at you occupy this bag of skin, this young master feels disgusted!"


    The moment his voice faded, Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold. A terrifying soul force erupted out!


    Buzz!


    Everyone had yet to understand what was going on, and Netherkill already toppled to the ground softly.


    With Ye Yuan''s current soul force, wanting to obliterate a clone of Sikong Shang was seriously too easy.


    What he wanted was Netherkill''s intact corpse!


    Seeing Netherkill talking to him, the rage in Ye Yuan''s heart could not be suppressed anymore, and directly erupted.


    Chiii!


    Ye Yuan''s sword finger rose up, the other 10 great exalts turned to dust in a blink of an eye.


    Coldblood was completely dumbfounded!


    The Seventh Level Dao Profound Netherkill was killed so easily by a divine soul attack?


    Also, ten great exalts were obliterated without even drawing their weapons?


    Just how powerful was the current Ye Yuan?


    However, Ye Yuan''s words stirred up massive waves among the crowd.


    "Sikong Shang? I-Isn''t this the name of the Darkness Divine King?"


    "Could it be that behind Exalt Netherkill, was actually the Darkness Divine King? Doesn''t this mean that the Chaotic Devil Sea is actually the Darkness Divine King''s domain?"


    "Ye Yuan said that he wanted to challenge the Darkness Divine King just now? If he isn''t crazy, then he really has this strength. Then, he �� is the Heaven Surmounting Divine King?"


    The information revealed in Ye Yuan''s words messed everyone up.


    While Coldblood stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with despair!


    Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    Ye Yuan actually really became the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    I �� Just what kind of a terrifying adversary did I provoke?


    Thud!


    Coldblood directly knelt down towards Ye Yuan and wailed, "Heaven Surmounting Divine King, it was Coldblood who failed to recognize Mount Tai even though I had eyes! Your Excellency, be magnanimous and let �� let this lowly one take my own life! I �� I was wrong!"


    Coldblood knew that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was seriously too great!


    As long as Ye Yuan did not agree, he could not accomplish it even if he wanted to die.


    At this time, he already had no hopes of getting lucky in his heart, and only hoped for a quick death.


    But this already became a luxury.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "This young master already gave you a chance, but it was you who didn''t cherish it yourself!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan held a pale flame up in the palm of his hand.


    This flame made people palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    The color on Coldblood''s face instantly faded away clean!


    "Go!"


    Ye Yuan''s palm lightly thrust. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame directly burned Coldblood''s physical body clean, then wrapped around his divine soul and flew to Ye Yuan''s side.


    Ye Yuan retrieved a small bottle and stored Coldblood''s divine soul inside.


    He would refine Coldblood''s divine soul for seven-by-seven, 49 days, finally turning into nothingness, never to reincarnate for all of eternity!


    The current Coldblood was merely a minor character to him.


    The reason why he went through all this trouble was just in order to let Coldblood experience the taste of despair, and use it to memorialize Tan Si''s spirit in heaven.


    Ye Yuan put away Netherkill''s fleshly body and Tan Si''s tablet. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled and he taunted, "Sikong Shang, these lackeys had followed you for a number of years at any rate, you actually passively watched them be killed just like that?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s heart jolt.


    When did the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, already arrive?


    A black silhouette slowly walked out from within the void, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, "Just a bunch of ants; inconsequential to this seat. What this seat is more interested in is your divine artifact."

 1200 Coward

    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is challenging the Darkness Divine King? Is Ye Yuan crazy? Doesn''t he know that there''s a massive chasm between the fifth level and sixth level?"


    "Looks like they seem to have considerable enmity between them! It seems like entering the Heavenly Slaughter Pit the last time, a major conflict happened between the two."


    "Oh, right, didn''t the Heaven''s Secret Tower said that the Ten Great Divine Kings would have some changes recently? Could it be �� referring to this showdown between them?"


    "The Heaven''s Secret Tower is truly too terrifying to actually be able to predict even this sort of thing. Well-deserving of ''Heaven''s Secret,'' these two words!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan and Sikong Shang were all set for a showdown, immediately drawing many speculations.


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower was spread throughout the Divine Realm. Even though the Chaotic Devil Sea was relatively out-of-the-way, they also already knew the news that the Ten Great Divine Kings was going to have some changes.


    The mysterious Darkness Divine King rarely revealed anything in the Divine Realm. Nobody knew how formidable his strength was either.


    But without a doubt, for him to be able to stabilize in fifth place, his strength must be very terrifying.


    Hearing that Sikong Shang was coveting his divine artifact still, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The divine artifact is right here. As long as you can kill me, it''s all yours."


    "Then �� this seat will come and take it."


    Sikong Shang''s faint voice sounded out. All of a sudden, the skies turned dark.


    His voice showed disdain on everything as if there was nothing that he could take notice of at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan was similarly of the Ten Great Divine Kings, he did not take it to heart at all.


    The blood-red colored sky was completely shrouded by darkness at this time.


    Very soon, the surroundings became completely dark, unable to see one''s fingers when extending one''s hands.


    At the same time, countless terrified voices accompanied it.


    "I �� I can''t see anything!"


    "What''s going on here? I �� I can''t sense the surrounding essence energy anymore!"


    "My God, my essence energy is currently rapidly flowing away!"


    ...


    Sikong Shang was worthy of the title ''Darkness.'' The moment he made his move, it was as if he was going to plunder everything.


    These martial artists were unable to see. Furthermore, the surroundings felt like the surrounding essence energy was completely cut off.


    Not just so, inside this region of dark space, their essence energy was flowing away rapidly, even if they did not employ any martial technique or cultivation method.


    This style of fighting was simply too unreasonable.


    In the darkness, came Sikong Shang''s indifferent voice.


    "This seat knows that you''re the newly-ascended sixth divine king. But to this seat, it''s all the same! The last time, because this seat was in closed-seclusion in the depths of the Heavenly Slaughter Pit, you were lucky to escape. Didn''t expect that this time, you actually delivered yourself to the doorstep to seek death. Then �� this seat won''t be courteous anymore. Despair and die in this darkness then!"


    Suddenly, a terrifying devouring force came from inside the darkness. Ye Yuan felt that the essence energy within his body was actually flowing away rapidly!


    This Darkness Concept carried the power of Divine Dao laws and was capable of devouring everything.


    All connection between this darkness and outside world was completely cut off.


    Experiencing the initial panic, those martial artists'' emotions finally settled down.


    They knew that the Darkness Divine King was not targeting them.


    Ye Yuan, who was situated in the center of the darkness, should be the one losing all hope at this time.


    "Indeed worthy of being the fifth divine king! This martial technique of the Darkness Divine King is too unreasonable!"


    "Yeah! Can''t see, can''t touch, essence energy is even being devoured, how to fight still?"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is in danger. He was too reckless to actually dare challenge a divine king ranked in the top five. Isn''t this courting death?"


    "Looks like Heaven''s Secret Tower''s changes this time is to strike Ye Yuan''s name off the list."


    ...


    Not that they were looking down on Ye Yuan, but because this move of Sikong Shang was too terrifying.


    Nobody had seen before the Darkness Divine King attack. But the moment he made his move, it shocked the world.


    The Darkness Concept was an extremely difficult to comprehend concept in the first place. For the Darkness Divine King to be able to comprehend it to such a boundary, it was simply unheard of.


    Cutting off essence energy, was equivalent to severing the martial artist''s lifeline.


    Reaching Divine King, this sort of realm, one relied on comprehension towards Heavenly Dao and maneuvered heaven and earth essence energy to battle.


    To a Divine King powerhouse, being unable to mobilize heaven and earth essence energy and merely rely on their own essence energy to match powers with the opponent, this was simply no different from courting death.


    But the Darkness Divine King cut off all of the essence energy savagely and unreasonably just like this!


    Furthermore, this darkness could even hasten the martial artist''s essence energy consumption. Under this situation where one party''s strength declined while the other''s strength increased, there was no way to fight at all.


    In their view, this move simply had no chink in the armor.


    Probably, even if the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King came, he would have a terrible headache too, right?


    Time slowly trickled by, but Ye Yuan did not have any movements at all.


    While the Darkness Divine King did not seem to be anxious either. He laid low inside the darkness all along and did not make a move.


    The world seemed to have fallen into deathly stillness.


    "You don''t seem to be worried at all." Suddenly, Sikong Shang broke the silence.


    "Why do I have to be worried? Just based on this lousy move of yours?" Ye Yuan''s words exuded thick mockery.


    "Huhu, you''re very interesting, different from the people I''ve killed in the past." Sikong Shang did not get angry and still said calmly.


    Ye Yuan was silent and only said after a long time, "You �� killed You Wuya and deserve to die!"


    "Are you talking about Netherkill? This boy''s talent was pretty good. Being selected by this seat to become a clone was his honor. According to what I know, you shouldn''t seem to have any interactions with him?" Sikong Shang said very apathetically as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter.


    Ye Yuan fell silent once more. He was utterly infuriated by Coldblood, this fellow.


    But the more enraged he got, the more terrifyingly calm he became.


    "He''s considered half a master to me!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Like this huh, no wonder. It''s too bad, you''re going to follow in his footsteps too. Alright, time is almost up. This seat should send you on your way already. Bring out your divine artifact; otherwise, there won''t be a chance anymore," Sikong Shang said indifferently.


    "There''s no need for a divine artifact to deal with you."


    "Huhu, what a confident young man."


    Sikong Shang laughed mockingly and brazenly attacked!


    In the darkness, a large hand smacked over towards Ye Yuan''s back noiselessly.


    The killing intent of this move condensed and did not dissipate. It was no different from an arrow shot from hiding in this darkness because there was not a hint of omen beforehand.


    Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious and still had his back faced towards this palm.


    In the darkness, a hint of a cold smile flashed past the corners of Sikong Shang''s mouth.


    As expected, only knew how to boast, was it?


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, Sikong Shang''s smile froze on his face.


    This palm struck nothing!


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan''s figure shifted an angle bizarrely, and actually narrowly avoided this blow!


    It must be a fluke!


    In the darkness, Sikong Shang adjusted the angle and smacked a palm towards Ye Yuan once more.


    However, it missed again!


    "Huhu, is the exalted Darkness Divine King just a coward who sneak attacks people from the back?"


    In the darkness, came Ye Yuan''s mocking words.


    With this, Sikong Shang finally knew that this was not a fluke!


    Ye Yuan really knew where he unleashed his palm from!


    "You can perceive me?" In Sikong Shang''s words, they carried thick uncertainty.


    This darkness was absolute darkness; could not see any light at all.


    And Sikong Shang''s figure could merge perfectly into this darkness.


    Forget about eyes, even perception was unable to discover him too!


    Yet, Ye Yuan could!

 1201 Explosion Rune

    "What do you think?"


    Ye Yuan''s words were filled with thick ridicule.


    This martial technique of Sikong Shang''s that resembled the power of domain was indeed incomparably powerful.


    It was too bad that his opponent was Ye Yuan!


    Grand completion heart realm made Ye Yuan''s perception powers far exceed ordinary people.


    The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil even let Ye Yuan possess unparalleled ocular powers!


    Sikong Shang assumed a serious attitude towards the matter. But in Ye Yuan''s view, he was just a clown jumping around.


    This limitless darkness was not much different from daytime in front of Ye Yuan.


    This darkness just cut off essence energy but was unable to cut off natural laws. Ye Yuan''s movement technique was not affected.


    "Terrific, lad! Indeed, you have some capabilities. It was this seat who underestimated you." Sikong Shang was extremely shocked and furious.


    As the most mysterious existence among the Ten Great Divine Kings, he normally rarely made a move. But he had full confidence in his own strength.


    He did not expect that he was actually made such a joke of by a junior.


    "Is that so? I overestimated you! I even thought how formidable the fifth divine king was. Didn''t expect that �� you were too weak to stand up to the competition!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    One sentence, made Sikong Shang''s face somber to the extreme.


    "Brat, don''t talk too big when boasting. Careful, the wind might sprain your tongue!"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Want to sprain this young master''s tongue, you got to bring out a bit of true capabilities."


    "Since you''re so anxious to seek death, then this seat will fulfill your wish!"


    Sikong Shang''s expression turned cold, and a palm smacked out from within the darkness. Terrifying killing intent instantly swept across the entire space.


    This palm force seemed to want to shatter this space!


    "Abyss Netherworld Palm!"


    The hint of a light smile curled up at the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth as he opened his mouth and said, "That''s a bit more interesting! As expected, your Slaughter Concept isn''t for show! This palm is powerful enough!"


    "Conceited brat, prepare to die!"


    Sikong Shang was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan''s attitude.


    This palm, Sikong Shang went all out. Berserk Slaughter Concept made the space start to tremble.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly. The power of his fleshy body instantly erupted, his entire body taking on a golden color!


    Nine Transformations Golden Body!


    The Ye Yuan who had been taciturn all along finally erupted!


    The current Ye Yuan was just like the rising sun, lighting up the dark night!


    Those martial artists looked at Ye Yuan in the sky, akin to the reincarnation of a god or buddha, his body exuding the aura of beholding a great mountain from top to bottom.


    "This �� What kind of martial technique is this?! To actually be able to break the Darkness Divine King''s Silent Extermination Domain!"


    "S-So strong! Why do I actually have a feeling of blood boiling with righteous indignation when I see the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s martial technique?"


    "What a fine Heaven Surmounting Divine King! This �� is really going to ride above the ninth heaven!"


    Ye Yuan''s berserk aura made everyone''s face changed drastically.


    Turns out that up till now, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King did not truly bring out his strength at all!


    This was the true Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    "Nine Transformations Golden Body! This �� How is this possible?"


    Those people did not recognize the Nine Transformations Golden Body, but Sikong Shang recognized it.


    In his understanding, this was simply not what a Tier 9 martial artist should be capable of possessing.


    Hence, this shock was by no means insignificant.


    However, the arrow was already fitted onto the string and already had no choice but to release it!


    His momentum was already formed and could only forcefully clash this blow with Ye Yuan.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Likewise smacking a palm out, Ye Yuan was the midday sun high up in the sky, while Sikong Shang was cold like the underworld.


    Two extremely great contrast auras collided together intensely!


    Rumble ��


    The entire space was quivering!


    A terrifying energy undulation instantly spread out, reducing the Asura Arena''s sixth level''s space to fragments!


    The Darkness Divine King''s Silent Extermination Domain shattering, the sky returned to that blood-red color again.


    Sikong Shang''s blood sprayed across the sky, his figure flying out backward like a cannonball.


    This frontal exchange, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King won completely!


    "Quick! Quickly run! The Asura Arena is crumbling!"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is too scary! Even the Darkness Divine King is actually not a match! his strength can absolutely rank into the top five already!"


    "Truly too inconceivable! It''s just been a few months, and the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually already grew to such a level!"


    ...


    Those martial artists shouted in great terror as they run away.


    Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and Sikong Shang''s Abyss Netherworld Palm were both presently the Divine Realm''s apex cultivation methods.


    The collision of two great martial techniques, the power was too terrifying, directly destroying this space made up of array formations!


    The formation foundation was already ruined. The Asura Arena looked as if it was going to collapse already.


    However, this clash, the relative superiority and inferiority were already clear at a glance.


    Heaven Surmounting Divine King Ye Yuan''s strength already surpassed the Darkness Divine King!


    Swoosh ��


    Sikong Shang''s figure shot up to the sky, turning into a black arc, and flying above the skies.


    The Darkness Divine King took flight!


    But the direction he escaped in was diametrically opposite to the others. It was actually in the direction of the Heavenly Slaughter Pit!


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly. The art of greater teleportation was instantly displayed, chasing after.


    "Boy, don''t push people too far!" Sikong Shang''s voice held panic.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You cruelly oppressed the common folks, killed my respected teacher, and also the enmity of a palm. No matter which one, you have to die beyond a doubt today!"


    "Damn brat, do you really take this seat to be easy to bully?"


    When Sikong Shang saw Ye Yuan hot at his heels, he gave a palm with a swing of his hand.


    But a hasty palm did not pose any threat to Ye Yuan at all.


    Rather, Ye Yuan sent out a Fury Sword Fire Lotus with a backhand, striking Sikong Shang without any deviation.


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic cry transmitted over. Sikong Shang''s aura immediately lost considerable vigor.


    Ye Yuan directly arrived beside Sikong Shang with greater teleportation.


    He was just planning on supplementing a slash and sending Sikong Shang to the western paradise.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s warning bells sounded!


    A horrifying energy spurted out. That Sikong Shang actually directly exploded!


    This explosion''s power was actually not beneath Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Ye Yuan was too close to Sikong Shang at this time. The power of this explosion practically detonated instantly. Ye Yuan''s body was directly blasted flying out.


    "Puhwark ��"


    Ye Yuan immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    His figure retreated ten thousand feet away before barely managing to hold steady.


    That attack just now took him by surprise. If it were others, they would probably be blasted until a corpse did not exist already!


    Right at the critical moment, Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword opened up fully. The Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art revolved at full power, coupled with his powerful physical body, before he barely managed to pull through.


    Even so, Ye Yuan became a blood-person from head to toe at this time too!


    A lesser part of Ye Yuan''s body was practically blown away.


    It looked incomparably grotesque!


    A black figure flew up in the sky and looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile. Who could it be if not Sikong Shang?


    "I didn''t think that you were actually able to survive under this explosion rune that contains Divine Dao laws! Truly remarkable!" Sikong Shang said with a broad grin.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said coldly, "It was this young master who was careless! You''ve operated in this Chaotic Devil Sea for a long time, so how can your clone only be You Wuya alone?"


    Sikong Shang smiled and said, "Huhu, smart! That You Wuya was merely a clone that this seat used to manage the Asura Arena. My true clones have exactly the same aura as this seat. It is difficult to distinguish the true and the false. Even though this seat is known as the Darkness Divine King, my true ace in the hole is this explosion rune! Now, this seat will send you on your way!"

 1202 A Change That Drove People Crazy

    At this time, Ye Yuan''s left arm was practically blown away.


    His body dripped with blood, injuries looked very severe.


    For Divine King Realm martial artists, this degree of injuries was very serious too.


    Even though they could regrow severed limbs, the price expended was not small either.


    At the very least, under the circumstances of such severe injuries, there was absolutely no way to escape from Sikong Shang''s hands.


    "Looks like this is the strongest trick. Then �� it''s time to send you on your way," said Ye Yuan coolly who was totally oblivious towards the injuries on his body.


    Sikong Shang grinned hideously and said, "You''re already wounded until like this, and you still dare to utter this sort of big talk? Boy, I have to hand it to you; your ambition is very big!"


    "Are you talking about this injury? Huhu, it isn''t considered much to me," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Hahaha �� not considered �� much ��"


    Sikong Shang''s smile suddenly froze, his eyeballs staring like wide-saucers, looking at everything before his eyes in disbelief, resulting in the tone of the second half of his sentence changing.


    Ye Yuan''s left arm actually grew out just like that!


    Not just so, the wounds that his explosion caused were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    Sikong Shang did not quite dare to believe his eyes. This recovery ability was simply too freakish!


    "This is too fake, right? Could it be that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King possesses an undying body?"


    "Such horrifying injuries, if it were others, they would probably croak straight away, right? He �� He actually directly recovered!"


    "Too unreasonable! How to fight still? Immensely powerful offensive power, startling defensive power, freakish recovery ability. This �� There''s simply no weakness to exploit here!"


    "No wonder, no wonder Ye Yuan was titled as Heaven Surmounting Divine King. I feel that no other title is more suitable for him than this!"


    ...


    This scene made everyone stunned.


    Ye Yuan sustaining serious injuries, they all thought that he was dead for sure. He did not expect that the next instant, such a dramatic scene occurred.


    The current Ye Yuan was alive and kicking. How did he look like someone who was injured before?


    Ever since Ye Yuan awakened the Atavism Dragon Soul and comprehended the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, wanting to kill him was really not an easy matter.


    Unless one''s strength was far greater than his, utterly destroying his vital parts straight away, otherwise, it was just a matter of minutes for him to recover.


    The price was just losing some blood essence.


    But this kind of expenditure was not considered a serious impairment to Ye Yuan.


    "Even though the expenditure for using this move is quite large, dealing with you, it seems like there''s only using this move too."


    Ye Yuan was rather helpless. He was indeed not very willing to use the Voice of the Dragon God.


    This move''s consumption was too great. The last time, he only used the time of three breaths, and he lay on the bed for a month.


    Even if it was just using two breaths of time, it was extremely awful for Ye Yuan too.


    While this martial technique was strong, it was really not what the average person could use.


    Sikong Shang''s expression changed, instinctively sensing that things were not good.


    He did not expect that the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was actually not even Ye Yuan''s limit!


    Ye Yuan actually had an even stronger killing move!


    Virtually without the slightest hesitation, Sikong Shang made a run for it!


    Except, how could his speed be faster than the Voice of the Dragon God?


    "Roar!"


    A dragon roar that reverberated through the clouds instantly sounded throughout the entire sky.


    The figure of Sikong Shang''s that was currently fleeing abruptly stopped!


    "ARGH!!"


    A shrill and miserably cry emitted out of Sikong Shang''s mouth. He already used his strongest essence energy to resist this sound wave attack.


    Yet, all of these were futile.


    After two breaths, Sikong Shang''s body was directly crushed into minced meat with a bang.


    "Huuuu ��"


    Ye Yuan slowly landed from the air, He was no longer able to hold his body up.


    Two breaths of time, even though he did not collapse like the last time, it also squeezed his physical strength dry until not a trace remained.


    At this very moment, he did not wish to even lift a finger. He just wanted to have a good sleep.


    "Big Brother, are you alright?"


    Fiery appeared at the right moment and supported Ye Yuan, then stuffed a medicinal pill into Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Ever since the situation last time occurred, Ye Yuan naturally had to prepare some physical strength restoring medicinal pills.


    But right now, two breaths of time were still a rather taxing load on him.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "You look at my appearance, can I be fine? I even thought that the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm should be sufficient to deal with him. I didn''t think that I still have to use this move in the end."


    Fiery smiled and said, "That was the fifth divine king. Big Brother, you''re going to cause a stir in the entire Divine Realm again with this!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I don''t wish to cause a sensation in the Divine Realm. But that Heaven''s Secret Tower seems to really be quite extraordinary!"


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with dumbfounded gazes and slack jaws, feeling that everything before their eyes was not too real.


    "The Darkness Divine King �� really died? My �� eyesight isn''t failing me, right?"


    "Quick! Pinch me, ouch! You really pinched! I freaking not dreaming! The fifth divine king really died!"


    "The Ten Great Divine Kings lived in peace with each other for 2000 years. Didn''t expect that �� one actually perished just like this today! Furthermore, it''s even the fifth divine king!"


    "Turns out that the change the Heaven''s Secret Tower was talking about was actually like this!"


    ...


    Slightly prior to this, the Heaven''s Secret Tower issued the new issue of Ten Great Divine Kings.


    The entire Divine Realm was instantly set on fire!


    Especially the Holy City, it simply seethed with excitement.


    "Ye Yuan''s ranked fourth, he actually directly advanced two places, ranking in front of the Soul Martial Divine King! Who can tell me what in the world happened?"


    "Where''s the Darkness Divine King? Why is the Darkness Divine King gone? What the hell! Is this Heaven''s Secret Tower''s ranking being funny?"


    "The Single Chord Divine King came back again. It''s just that this time, he''s ranked at the tenth place. The Violet Extreme Divine King and the other few divine kings all advanced a place in order. Could it be that �� the Darkness Divine King he ��"


    "Impossible! That''s the fifth divine king, who could kill him? Even if he can''t beat the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, he can always run, right?"


    "Who can tell me what in the world happened?"


    The discussion regarding the Ten Great Divine Kings gave rise to much discussion.


    However, the Heaven''s Secret Tower did not give any response.


    They just announced the new issue of the Ten Great Divine Kings, then did not give any explanations.


    Why in the world the Darkness Divine King was gone, nobody knew either.


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower''s actions simply drove everyone crazy.


    Each and every one of them felt like cats were scratching in their hearts, desperately wanting to know the reason involved.


    Even though this had nothing to do with them at all.


    But a gossiping heart could not be dispensed off no matter where.


    Hence, some important wealthy people and also some family clans with deep foundations started buying information from the Heaven''s Secret Tower!


    This information made the Heaven''s Secret Tower scoop up a massive profit.


    However, the intel was still being kept secret.


    Because the condition for the Heaven''s Secret Tower to sell the intel was not allowing the information to be disseminated out. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!


    Although the Heaven''s Secret Tower had never taken action outside before, nobody doubted its might.


    Because the Holy City had already existed for god knows how many years.


    While the Heaven''s Secret Tower merely existed for 2000 years.


    The Heaven''s Secret Tower domineeringly ventured in but did not arouse the Holy City''s kickback. This, in itself, indicated many problems.

 1203 Kanuo!

    Divine Martial Hall, dark and gloomy.


    Waves of terrifying aura leaked out from the depths of the great hall, giving people a feeling of palpitation.


    "Old witch, you didn''t listen to this god''s words. Suffered a huge loss this time, right?" A cold voice transmitted over, the words carrying thick gloating over others'' misfortune.


    At this time, a cold and stern voice came over, "Humph! Stop making sarcastic remarks over there! Don''t think that this holy mother doesn''t know what you''re planning!"


    These two people were shockingly the two great heavenly fiendgods, Kanuo and Yue Ji.


    "Heh heh, now that it played out like this, don''t you understand yet? The two of us are originally this Immortal Grove Region''s aberrant lifeforms and are rejected by Heavenly Dao. Hence, that''s why we suffered repeated defeats," Kanuo said.


    "So what? Just based on these bunch of rookies from the Immortal Grove Region, can they kill us too?" Yue Ji said.


    "Heh, you old witch, you''re really forgetful. Didn''t you almost turn to ashes this time?" Kanuo said.


    "Old thing, are you seeking death?"


    Yue Ji''s expression turned coldly and still had some lingering fear in her heart.


    That Voice of the Dragon God from Ye Yuan almost shocked her until her soul disintegrated.


    "Don''t try that stuff with this god. In your state, what can you still do to this seat? But this god is really quite surprised. Ye Yuan that brat actually learned the long-lost Voice of the Dragon God! Looks like the momentum of his rise already cannot be stopped!" Kanuo actually said with a slight sigh.


    "Humph! You fool, bustled about for so many years, didn''t it still make a wedding dress for him in vain? To actually have the face to talk about me!" Yue Ji said with cold mockery.


    "What do you know? If this god recovers to peak strength, I naturally wouldn''t fear them. But, the human race has that old guy who''s opposing this god in all aspects! Once I give myself away, this seat''s these years of effort will really be cast to the winds!" Kanuo said in a solemn voice.


    Yue Ji was startled when she heard that and said, "The current human race still has such a major power?"


    "Heh, otherwise, what do you think? That old guy formed an organization called Mystic Gate, which enlisted the services of quite a number of experts. Those Ten Great Divine Kings, there''s half that was fostered by him. These people have all comprehended Divine Dao laws, and their strength cannot be underestimated; let alone himself," Kanuo said.


    Yue Ji''s expression changed, and she said, "Then �� what should we do now?"


    "Give me the Fiendsource Bead!" Kanuo said.


    "You �� You''re dreaming!" Yue Ji said with a cold expression.


    "Heh, in this god''s current state, the worst outcome is being sealed once again too. Furthermore, I still have several peerlessly fine cards that can be played against Ye Yuan in my hands. But you �� if you''re found by Ye Yuan, that''s a one-way ticket to hell! Do you think that you have any choice?" Kanuo said with a cold smile.


    Yue Ji''s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, she still gritted her teeth, opened her mouth, and spat out a black color bead.


    This bead was black throughout. But the moment it appeared, fiendish energy surged to the sky, as if it had the aura to devour heaven and earth.


    In the darkness, a large hand suddenly reached out, directly grabbing the Fiendsource Bead in his hand.


    Following that, Kanuo let out a loud laugh and said, "Hahaha, Heavenly Fiendgod Artifact, Fiendsource Bead! With it, even if this seat isn''t able to recover to peak strength, I''ll have 70% strength too. Who can stop me in this Divine Realm? Old thing, Ye Yuan, this time, this god will let you know the taste of fear! Hahaha ��"


    Yue Ji''s expression was rather ugly. This Fiendsource Bead was the fiend race''s heavenly fiendgod artifact; its power was boundless.


    Handing it over now, she could only depend on Kanuo.


    In the depths of the great hall, there was a massive bloodpool.


    In the bloodpool, a young man was soaking in it, leaving only a head outside.


    This man''s looks were handsome, looking to be of similar age with Ye Yuan, no different from humans.


    Above the bloodpool, countless red beads were suspended.


    These beads were precisely the 58 thousand Bloodsoul Beads that Ji Canglan collected!


    The young man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Bloodsoul Fiend Establishing Grand Array, activate!"


    All of a sudden, 58 thousand suspended blood beads radiated with a brilliant blood light, looking breathtaking!


    A terrifying sanguinary power shot straight for the clouds, thoroughly enveloping the young man inside.


    A month later, a burst of terrifying laughter came from inside the Divine Martial Hall. "Hahaha �� when this god comes into being, I''ll see which one of you can stop me this time!"


    ...


    The essence energy storm gradually disappeared. Ye Yuan''s essence energy finally calmed down.


    "Congratulations, Big Brother, for finally entering Divine King Realm!" Fiery said excitedly by the side.


    But Ye Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "Originally, essence energy realm was the easiest to improve for me. I didn''t expect that after so many years, I was actually held back by essence energy realm."


    "Huhu, reincarnating, your lucky chances were too heaven-defying, resulting in essence energy realm seeming slow instead. Actually, even if you''re an Alchemy Emperor reincarnating, to be able to reach the Divine King Realm in such a short time, it''s already very heaven-defying." By the side, Long Teng had a laugh.


    Killing the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang, Ye Yuan finally found the opportunity to break through to the Divine King Realm.


    After a few days of accumulation, he finally broke through to the Divine King Realm.


    Regarding essence energy realm, the Divine King Realm was another level.


    With the support of Divine King Realm essence energy, Ye Yuan''s martial techniques would be able to unleash even greater might.


    Actually, to talk about the Fury Sword Fire Lotus and divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, which one was stronger or weaker, it was not easy to judge.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s essence energy realm had stopped at Eighth Level Dao Profound all along. Hence, Fury Sword Fire Lotus''s power appeared relatively weak.


    Now that he broke through to Divine King Realm, not only did Fury Sword Fire Lotus''s power increase greatly, his Domain of Sword, greater teleportation, and other skills, would have a qualitative leap!


    "Heh, Your Excellency, these few days, you''ve been in closed-seclusion all along and probably don''t know yet, you''re already the fourth divine king now!" Meng Guang had an excited look. It was as if the fourth divine king was him.


    When he killed Sikong Shang, Ye Yuan put him away inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    These few days, he had constantly been inquiring news in the Asura Arena. But this news was undoubtedly the heaviest weight.


    Ye Yuan could not help being slightly stupefied when he heard and said, "Just fourth?"


    Everyone''s expressions choked up. It was just a few months, and you already rushed from sixth to fourth. Could it be that you were not satisfied yet?


    Seeing everyone''s expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Looks like I still underestimated Zhuge Qingxuan, the three of their strengths. Although the Voice of the Dragon God is strong, they just have to resist for three breaths of time, and I can only let people slaughter me at will."


    Only when everyone heard did they come to a realization.


    However, the power of the Voice of the Dragon God was indeed too terrifying.


    If Ye Yuan could support it to up ten breaths of time, it was basically enough to sweep across the Divine Realm.


    The Voice of the Dragon God''s sound wave attack, following the passing of time, would make the power become even more terrifying as the sound waves stacked layer upon layer.


    It was just a shame that Ye Yuan could at most only support three breaths of time.


    "Alright, it''s almost time, we should go back. Probably before long, the fiend calamity will be erupting. This period of time, we still have to prepare a little," Ye Yuan said.


    The group of people finally returned to the dragon clan after a few twists and turns.


    However, the scene before his eyes made Ye Yuan''s hair stand on end with anger.As hinted, the Immortal Grove Region is referring to the name of the world/Divine Realm.

 1204 Twin Dragons Spitting Pearls!

    "Roar!"


    Rumble ��


    Thunderous dragon roars were mixed with earth-shaking loud booms.


    One human and one dragon were currently having a great battle above the dragon clan.


    That dragon was just an illusionary phantom and not a genuine azure dragon.


    But it was �� the spirit of the azure dragon!


    The spirit of the azure dragon summoned by the Constellation Grand Array!


    While the other figure was none other than precisely the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, Zhuge Qingxuan, who rushed over from the Holy City!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s divine might was truly unparalleled. That terrifying azure dragon spirit was actually being overpowered by him, looking as if it was going to be defeated.


    The dragon clan''s members did not notice Ye Yuan''s appearance, all staring at the battle situation, with tense looks on their faces.


    This was their final reliance.


    Boom!


    Zhuge Qingxuan knocked the azure dragon spirit far away with a palm. Standing with his hands behind his back, he snorted coldly and said, "If you still don''t hand over Ye Yuan, this seat will exterminate your Azure Dragon Clan today!"


    The current Zhuge Qingxuan was truly insufferably arrogant.


    The dragon clan''s clan members all had looks of despair at this time.


    "This Heaven Stabilizing Divine King is too strong! So many peak Void Mystic powerhouses attacked together and were all still defeated by him!"


    "Dead this time! Our dragon clan wouldn''t really be exterminated by him, right?"


    "It''s all that Ye Yuan, really capable at causing trouble! If not for him, how could it bring down the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King to here?"


    ...


    At the juncture of life and death, there were quite a number of people who pointed the spearhead at Ye Yuan.


    After all, to them, Ye Yuan this dragon lord was still very foreign.


    "Shut your mouths for this old man! Keep talking nonsense that this old man will exterminate you first! How can the things that Dragon Lord is shouldering be what you guys are capable of surmising?" Ao Yong snapped.


    Yue Mengli heaved a sigh and said, "Grand Elder, now that it came to this, everyone''s emotions will inevitably lose control. You don''t need to get angry because of this."


    Ao Yong shot a fierce glare at that clansman and said with a cold snort, "All shut up for this old man! The dragon lord is the dragon clan''s common lord! If there are still words that besmirch your superiors, this old man will punish severely!"


    When those clansmen saw Grand Elder demonstrate his power like so, each and every one of them sensibly kept their mouths shut and did not speak anymore.


    At this time, Zhuge Qingxuan said coolly, "Looks like you guys won''t shed tears if you don''t see the coffin. Do you really think that this seat doesn''t dare to massacre you all, is that it?"


    Huo ��


    Zhuge Qingxuan pointed a finger out. Heaven and earth changed color because of it.


    The essence energy in the area tens of thousands of miles around gathered onto Zhuge Qingxuan''s finger frenziedly, condensing and not dissipating!


    Seeing such power, everyone''s expression changed greatly.


    Even that azure dragon spirit seemed to have sensed an immense threat too, and actually did not dare to come forward anymore!


    "This �� This is the legendary Profound Calamity Finger, one of the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s trump cards! Looks like his determination to kill the dragon lord is unshakable!" Ao Yong''s expression was incomparably ugly as he said this.


    "This finger is so terrifying! It hasn''t released yet, and I already have a feeling of asphyxia near death! The azure dragon spirit likely can''t resist anymore." Ao Qian''s expression changed greatly.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s might, they had all heard of it. But only when they experienced it personally now, did they know that the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was even more powerful than in the legends!


    He had the ability to destroy the entire dragon clan with his power alone!


    This kind of strength was simply appalling to hear!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s robes fluttered, his entire person akin to a celestial. The air of an expert was displayed in its entirety, fully deserving of the title of Heaven Stabilizing Divine King.


    "Profound Calamity Finger, exterminate for me!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan gave a cold shout. Pointing a finger out, the winds and clouds immediately changed color!


    In the dragon clan, everyone''s faces were white as a sheet.


    Once this finger landed, who knew how many people it would kill!


    Just then, Ye Yuan rushed over and saw this heaven-shocking finger of Zhuge Qingxuan!


    Ye Yuan only had time to sweep a glance with his peripherals, only to see the dragon clan''s members all covered with wounds.


    Including Yue Mengli and Lu-er!


    Ye Yuan''s alarm and rage rose together. A surge of rage flared up!


    Virtually without thinking, Ye Yuan directly did a greater teleportation, then unleashed a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm in anger!


    However, what made everyone surprised was that another terrifying attack rose up inside the dragon clan!


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    "Young Master!"


    "It''s Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven! Our dragon clan''s divine rank martial technique, Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven!"


    "That �� is the dragon lord''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    "The dragon lord came back! Hahaha �� we''re saved!"


    Two dragon race divine rank martial techniques that did not lose out to the Profound Calamity finger were unleashed at the same time, from two different directions, directly intercepting the Profound Calamity Finger!


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, who originally looked down scornfully at everything, his expression changed drastically at this time.


    These two terrifying attacks appeared too suddenly that even he did not react to it either.


    Rumble ��


    A terrifying energy undulation spread out, sending the dragon clan''s powerhouses flying.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was the closest to it. Being slammed by two surges of tremendous force, his internal organs immediately received a tremendous shock, immediately tasting sweetness at his throat, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    Originally, this move of his was prepared to exterminate the azure dragon spirit and slaughter the dragon clan''s powerhouses.


    He did not expect that in the end, it was actually him who suffered a hidden loss.


    Regarding that attack, which rumbled out from the dragon clan, Ye Yuan was rather surprised too.


    But he felt relieved very quickly. Teng Yun said before, there was still a peerless powerhouse concealed in the dragon clan. It was just that nothing was revealed.


    Earlier, the dragon clan reached a critical moment. He finally could not resist making a move.


    Looks like the matter of the dragon clan having a reclusive powerhouse, even the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King did not know either.


    Otherwise, he absolutely would not come to the dragon clan to raise a hue and cry so recklessly.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that Teng Yun actually knew the matter of this peerless powershous so clearly.


    Judging from that Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven move, the power was not the slightest bit inferior to his own Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    It turned out that the one who grasped divine rank dragon wave was not just him alone in this world.


    It was just that, nobody had seen it before, that was all.


    No wonder Teng Yun said that even he did not dare to easily provoke the dragon clan, this existence.


    Ye Yuan and Zhuge Qingxuan faced off in the air, cold gazes meeting with unspeakable rage.


    "Zhuge Qingxuan, what''s the meaning of this?" Ye Yuan''s words seethed with killing intent and was bone-piercingly cold.


    Being questioned by Ye Yuan, Zhuge Qingxuan could not help being tongue-tied for a moment.


    He came to the dragon clan in an imposing manner to kill Ye Yuan.


    But he discovered now that Ye Yuan was actually powerful to this degree already!


    That Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm move earlier, disregarding the Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven, although the power could not match his Profound Calamity Finger, it was not much worse off than him either.


    Now, he suffered a hidden loss, his internal organs receiving a shock. Wanting to kill Ye Yuan again was virtually impossible.


    Except, what he did not know was that Ye Yuan had killing intent aroused toward him!


    If not for the azure dragon spirit resisting, Zhuge Qingxuan would probably have already charged into the dragon clan.


    If not for the dragon clan still having a powerhouse, most likely �� Li-er and Lu-er would have been killed by him as well.


    This guy was so arrogant, how could Ye Yuan not have killing intent aroused?


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s murderous look, the corners of Zhuge Qingxuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he taunted, "What? You wouldn''t be thinking of killing me still, right?"


    "Can''t I?" Ye Yuan retorted with a question icily.


    "Huhu, what a joke! Truly a colossal joke! Just now, if not for this seat being momentarily careless, do you think that you could hurt me? Bragging got to have a limit too!" Zhuge Qingxuan said mockingly.

 1205 Refusing to Give in to Old Age Wont Do!

    "Is that so? What if you add me?"


    A figure appeared, trapping Zhuge Qingxuan with a pincering momentum with Ye Yuan.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was bold stemming from superb skills too. Even though he suffered injuries, he did not have the slightest intention of escaping. His air of an expert was displayed in its entirety.


    He did not think that this Divine Realm really had someone who could make him stay.


    But when he saw the dragon clan''s arrival, his expression changed too.


    "Long Min, you''re actually not dead yet!"


    This Long Min was the dragon clan''s previous generation patriarch.


    Many years ago, he passed the position to Ao Duo, then secluded himself.


    Everyone in the world all thought that Long Min already died. They did not expect that not only was he still alive in this world, but his strength was also this powerful.


    "Long Min pays respect to Dragon Lord!"


    Long Min first gave a bow to Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but he still nodded his head. This was considered to have returned the salute.


    "Thanks to Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s blessings, I''m still lingering on with this last breath of life until today. It''s just that, Heaven Stabilizing Divine King''s actions today, isn''t it bullying people too much?" Long Min turned to Zhuge Qingxuan and said.


    Zhuge Qingxuan had a calm and collected look as he said coolly, "This seat wanted them to hand over Ye Yuan, but they refused no matter what. That''s why this seat took action."


    Long Min said, "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is my dragon clan''s common lord. Even this elderly self have to respectfully call him dragon lord. Aren''t you making things difficult by having us hand him over?"


    "Hey old man, you''re so unreasonable! We already said that Young Master wasn''t at the dragon clan, yet you insist on us handing over the person. Where would we find to hand over for you?" Lu-er suddenly shouted loudly at the sky.


    A cold light glinted in Zhuge Qingxuan''s eyes. Separated so far away, Lu-er was also akin to being struck by a thunderbolt.


    "What did you say?" Zhuge Qingxuan said word by word.


    Lu-er''s words made Zhuge Qingxuan''s blue veins throb, his anger flaring up with a wham.


    He, Zhuge Qingxuan, boasted of his casual and elegant bearing. At present, his age was also merely over 3000 years and did not appear old. He did not even count as middle-aged.


    But this little lass actually called him an old man!


    Ye Yuan was originally burning with fury. At this time, he was tickled by Lu-er until he secretly laughed in his heart too.


    This lass did not have any thought in mind and randomly shouted. But it poked right at Zhuge Qingxuan''s sore sport.


    His aura released slightly, warding off Zhuge Qingxuan''s aura, and he said nonchalantly, "Lu-er is merely 30 over years of age. Is there any problem with calling you an old man? You''re already getting on in years, still pretending to be young for what. Refusing to give in to old age �� won''t do! Now, it''s us youngsters'' world. You look, Senior Long Min is a wise man who understands the time. He had long relinquished his position. At your ripe old age, shouldn''t you hand over your position in the Holy City too and be a grand elder or something? Wouldn''t it be splendid?"


    Each word that Ye Yuan said, Zhuge Qingxuan''s face would become a shade darker.


    When Long Min saw this scene, he could not help smiling.


    Not only was this dragon lord''s martial strength formidable, but his verbal skills were also similarly powerful!


    But Zhuge Qingxuan just really had nothing to say.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s two lifetimes were added together, it was also merely 500-plus years old. At the very most, it was also just a fraction of Zhuge Qingxuan''s.


    Even though the two people were both peerless geniuses, when put together to compare, Zhuge Qingxuan paled in comparison.


    One had to know that Ye Yuan only used a short few months'' time and rushed to number four of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Given time, surpassing Zhuge Qingxuan was also nothing difficult.


    And this was precisely the most painful spot in Zhuge Qingxuan''s heart!


    Otherwise, why would he take up arms and come to find trouble with Ye Yuan?


    The Divine Realm''s number one that he maintained for 2000 years, somebody was finally going to issue a challenge to him.


    Even though Ye Yuan had no interest in this at all.


    The reason why he said so was entirely just to repulse Zhuge Qingxuan.


    Right now, he was a million times unhappy looking at Zhuge Qingxuan.


    However, Ye Yuan''s words also repulsed Zhuge Qingxuan until it was enough for him to choke on.


    Whatever Ye Yuan said to abdicate his position, even if he wanted to, there had to be someone to come and take over too!


    The Purple-Gold Hall''s elites were all slaughtered clean by Ye Yuan alone!


    This guy must be doing it on purpose!


    When Yue Mengli saw this scene, she could not help smiled and said, "Lu-er, your words were unintentional, but Big Brother Yuan''s words anger people to death."


    Lu-er had a blank look and said, "Did I say something wrong?"


    "Huhu, Miss Lu-er is innocent and childlike, and you didn''t say anything wrong. Isn''t that Heaven Stabilizing Divine King an old man? Ha �� Haha ��" Ao Yong also could not resist laughing.


    Lu-er still had a vacant look, completely did not know what everybody was laughing at.


    She had too little experience. These few years, the majority of the time was on cultivation and sleeping. She was basically isolated from the outside world.


    Hence, even though she was already 30-over years old, her mentality was still not much different from a teenage girl.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s perception was astonishing. How could he not know that the dragon clan''s members were all mocking him?


    The always calm and collected Heaven Stabilizing Divine King had blue veins throbbing at this time, rage already burning all over his body.


    "Ye Yuan, do you really take this seat''s whiskers to be easy to stroke?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s aura surged to the skies. Even when Long Min saw, his expression changed slightly too.


    Clearly, he did not expect that Zhuge Qingxuan actually still held back strength previously!


    However, Ye Yuan had a look of indifference and said coolly, "Just you, are considered a tiger too? In my view, you''re also just a little cat. Come, kitty, meow for me to hear."


    But this time, nobody could laugh.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s aura was too terrifying!


    The faces of the dragon clan''s members all changed greatly. They were really frightened by Zhuge Qingxuan''s aura.


    "S-So strong! Turns out that the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King hasn''t brought out his true strength all along until now!"


    "Sigh, Dragon Lord, His Excellency, is too rash! These words sound liberating, but with this �� it isn''t easy to settle."


    "This �� Dragon Lord His Excellency and Old Patriarch Long Min, the two people, I wonder if they can block this blow or not!"


    ...


    Long Min''s expression was solemn, and he reminded Ye Yuan, "Be careful, Dragon Lord!"


    But Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Old Patriarch, you back off first! Wait until I and this kitty fight it out until we both wear each other out, then you come over and kill him!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s tone also turned cold.


    This Heaven Stabilizing Divine King already touched his bottom line. He decided that he was going to kill this guy even at risk of sustaining serious injuries!


    Long Min''s expression changed when he heard that, but was rather uncertain what it meant.


    But when he saw the murderous look in Ye Yuan''s eyes, he could not help being startled and nodded his head, but retreated.


    Long Min''s action made everyone get a huge shock.


    "This �� What''s Dragon Lord His Excellency going to do here? Could it be that he wants to contend against the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King on his own?" Ao Duo turned pale with fright and said.


    While at this time, Zhuge Qingxuan''s momentum was already formed. He looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Very good, you''re very courageous. Not only did you successfully stoke this seat''s fury, you even dare to face-off on your own! Since you want to hear my, this kitty''s, meow, then this seat will meow for you to hear! Therefore, listen up well! Profound �� Qi �� Finger!"


    One finger unleashing, the wind and clouds moved!


    An attack that moved heaven and earth charged over toward Ye Yuan!

 1206 Heavenly Fiendgod Coming Into Being!

    "Too terrifying! This �� Is this really a martial technique unleashed by a Divine King Realm martial artist?"


    "Dragon Lord is in danger! He actually hasn''t unleashed a martial technique yet!"


    "What on earth is Dragon Lord doing? Has he given up resisting?"


    ...


    A series of clamoring sounds came from the dragon clan. They discovered that Ye Yuan provoked very happily just now.


    But now, he actually stopped moving!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s momentum was already formed. This finger was stronger compared to that finger previously. It was simply not what human strength could resist.


    Yue Mengli''s and Lu-er''s expressions changed greatly and had worried looks.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s opponent this time was the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, who was known as the Divine Realm''s number one. It was not up to them to not be worried.


    Everyone''s hearts leaped to their throats, uncertain what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd!


    In a blink of an eye, Zhuge Qingxuan brought the Profound Qi Finger and arrived at the place several hundred feet away from Ye Yuan.


    "Puhwark!"


    The person had not drawn near yet and already broke Ye Yuan''s defenses, making him directly spew out a large mouthful of blood.


    "Dragon Lord!"


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    "Young Master!"


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s face changed drastically, one after another!


    They seriously could not figure out why Ye Yuan did not retaliate.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was also rather surprised, his face somewhat stunned.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not resist at all.


    But he did not have the intention of pulling back. Since you''re not resisting, then I''ll directly send you to the western paradise.


    Even if the Jade Emperor came, he can''t save you either!


    However, right at this moment, Ye Yuan finally made a sound.


    Voice of the Dragon God!


    "Roar!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly radiated with resplendent golden light. A terrifying dragon roar instantly reverberated through the clouds.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan did not hold back in the slightest, directly urging the Voice of the Dragon God to the limits!


    The Profound Qi Finger that originally had an irresistible onslaught abruptly stopped at this time.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s figure was forcefully nailed in midair by the Voice of the Dragon God''s sound wave attack.


    "Puhwark!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan, who was caught by surprise, similarly spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood.


    Ye Yuan''s roar made everyone''s expression change dramatically!


    But everybody''s reaction was completely different.


    Long Min''s withered old face was seemingly like the last radiance of the setting sun at this time, exuding a flushed color.


    That was caused by excitement!


    "Voice of the Dragon God! It''s absolutely the Voice of the Dragon God! Hahaha �� indeed worthy of being the dragon lord! He actually learned my clan''s long-lost Voice of the Dragon God!" Long Min said with unbelievable surprise and delight.


    As for Ao Qian, Ao Yong, and the rest, they clearly also guessed the origins of this move of Ye Yuan''s.


    "It''s actually the Voice of the Dragon God! This �� This is too inconceivable! This move has already been lost in the dragon clan for over 100 thousand years. Didn''t expect that we actually saw it again anew today!"


    "Such a terrifying power! Is this one of my dragon clan''s supreme martial techniques, Voice of the Dragon God? Just how powerful was my dragon clan when at the height of its power and splendor?"


    "Turns out that the dragon lord dug a pit for the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King to jump! Yet, he even jumped inside! If the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King falls, my dragon clan will gain great fame and prestige tomorrow!"


    ...


    When Li-er, Lu-er, and the rest saw the situation, they all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    But they still looked at the two people confronting each other in the air with anxious looks, not daring to relax in the slightest.


    Being shocked by the Voice of the Dragon God, which came unexpectedly, this blow to Zhuge Qingxuan was not light.


    Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God was not the slightest bit weaker than his Profound Qi Finger!


    Furthermore, the penetrative force of sound waves was clearly greater than ordinary martial techniques!


    Now, he finally understood why Ye Yuan had no movements all along.


    Ye Yuan was making him suffer from his own scheme!


    The Voice of the Dragon God, naturally, the closer to Ye Yuan, the greater the power.


    Ye Yuan risked sustaining serious injuries and also had to wait for him to enter the range of several hundred feet, in order to give him a head-on blow!


    Ye Yuan succeeded!


    The moment the Voice of the Dragon God was unleashed, Zhuge Qingxuan immediately suffered severe injuries again!


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of ending it here.


    One breath!


    Two breaths!


    Voice of the Dragon God persisted for two breaths of time and dissipated with a loud bang!


    Ye Yuan and Zhuge Qingxuan''s figures virtually flew out backward at the same time.


    Zhuge Qingxuan and the Profound Qi Finger were not to be trifled with. Ye Yuan also suffered serious injuries under this one finger.


    Adding on the Voice of the Dragon God''s consumption, his condition currently was dreadful to the max.


    However, Zhuge Qingxuan''s situation was not much better than his.


    The power of the Voice of the Dragon God was too fearsome. He also entered that strongest region.


    Currently, he was bleeding from all seven orifices, his entire body had almost been torn apart.


    Mutual destruction!


    At this time, Long Min suddenly recalled Ye Yuan''s words earlier.


    Wait until the two of them were worn out, kill Zhuge Qingxuan!


    Long Min was shrewd with age, how could he waste such an opportunity? Lifting his hand, it was a Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven!


    A dragon roar sounded again. Zhuge Qingxuan''s scalp tingled.


    For thousands of years, this was his first time truly facing death!


    He who had always considered everybody and everything beneath notice finally knew what was called despair!


    "NO!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan howled. He was already powerless to resist such an expert''s attack.


    Everyone stared at this scene unblinkingly, their hearts leaped up to their throats.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King perishing, this was the number one major event in the Divine Realm for thousands of years!


    But in the next instant, everyone''s faces changed drastically.


    Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the sky.


    This black hole just happened to meet Long Min''s Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven!


    It was only to see a blood light flash inside the black hole. Long Min''s Divine Dao martial technique was actually extinguished just like this.


    Long Min''s expression changed greatly, and he cried out in alarm, "Fiend race!"


    A young man slowly walked out from inside the black hole, bringing along several powerhouses behind him.


    The young man stood with his hands behind his back, with the haughtiness of looking down arrogantly upon the world.


    Even the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was a magnitude inferior to him in terms of disposition.


    Seeing this young man, everyone''s face changed drastically.


    Clearly, the arrival did not have good intentions!


    The young man smiled nonchalantly and said, "Huhu, the dragon clan �� I really haven''t seen you people for a long time! Where''s everyone? Just nice today �� I''ll catch the whole lot in one fell swoop!"


    At this time, Yue Mengli had long already made her move, reaching her hands out to support Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan''s wounds were very severe at this time, his consciousness was very clear.


    Seeing this young man, Ye Yuan felt all the hairs on his body stand up.


    Danger!


    Extremely dangerous!


    This was the feeling that this young man gave him.


    Beside Ye Yuan, a figure appeared. It was precisely Long Teng.


    When Long Teng saw that young man, his expression immediately became extremely ugly, close to losing all hope!


    When Ye Yuan saw Long Teng''s expression, he was immediately clear in his heart.


    To be able to make Long Teng display this expression, who else could there be still?


    "He �� actually came into being ahead of time!"


    Long Teng took a look at that young man, then looked at Ye Yuan, and was filled with extreme unwillingness.


    He was unreconciled to it, Ye Yuan had not fully grown up yet!


    To deal with Kanuo, one at least had to reach Fang Tian''s boundary back then too!


    Although the current Ye Yuan was strong, compared to the Fang Tian back then, he was still quite a bit worse.


    "He''s �� Kanuo?" Ye Yuan endured the pain all over his body and spoke up.


    Long Teng slowly nodded his head and said, "That''s right! He''s precisely Heavenly Fiendgod �� Kanuo! His strength �� seems to be even stronger than before!"

 1207 Long Tengs Resolve!

    Kanuo''s appearance caught everyone off-guard.


    Currently, Ye Yuan already suffered serious injuries. Just based on Long Min alone, there was no way to be Kanuo''s match.


    "Could it be �� Could it be over just like this?" Long Teng said unwillingly.


    Seemingly detecting Long Teng''s gaze, Kanuo actually looked over here.


    "Eh, it''s actually you! Didn''t expect that 50 thousand years have passed, I could actually still bump into an old acquaintance. Didn''t expect that �� he actually protected you," Kanuo said, smilingly.


    Long Teng snorted coldly when he heard that and said, "Who''s an old acquaintance of yours? This old man wishes that he can tear you limb from limb!"


    Kanuo smiled faintly and said, "Huhu, something that even Origin Deity Realms couldn''t accomplish, just based on you guys, some trash, how can you possibly do it? Rather, you all shall become this god''s blood feed today!"


    At this time, everyone was jittery inside the dragon clan.


    They did not know who this young man was at all and could not even see through his cultivation realm.


    But they knew that this young man was very strong!


    That mover earlier by Old Patriarch Long Min, Dragon Traversing the Ninth Heaven, what kind of power did that have?


    But this young man just gave a casual attack and actually utterly annihilated this attack.


    "G-Grand Elder, who is this young man? Isn''t the Divine Realm''s strongest the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King? Why do I feel that �� this young man seems to be even stronger than the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King?" asked Ao Yong, a dragon clan elder.


    Originally, Ao Yong also did not know about the existence of the heavenly fiendgods.


    But the last time Long Teng was in the clan, he told them the matters back then.


    He looked at Kanuo with a solemn expression and said, "This young man is most likely that heavenly fiendgod from the fiend race! He �� was once a Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    "Deity Realm powerhouse! This �� How is this possible? Didn''t all of the Deity Realm powerhouses all go missing?"


    "This �� is actually a Deity Realm powerhouse. No wonder his strength is so powerful! Doesn''t that mean that even though he doesn''t have Deity Realm cultivation, he possesses Deity Realm comprehension?"


    "T-The fiend race actually still has such a terrifying powerhouse, a former Deity Realm powerhouse. Doesn''t that mean that he''s the number one person beneath the Deity Realm?"


    Ao Yong nodded his head and said, "It''s likely �� the case! Looks like what Senior Long Teng said was true! It''s just that �� there was Senior Fang Tian capable of suppressing this heavenly fiendgod 50 thousand years ago. Now �� who is there? Could it be that �� heaven is really dooming my dragon clan, heaven is dooming the Divine Realm?"


    A look of despair appeared on Ao Yong''s face. The pressure that Kanuo gave him was seriously too great.


    At this time, Kanuo''s gaze turned to Ye Yuan, and he said emotionally, "Ye Yuan, I have no choice but to admit, you''re the most troublesome Son of Heaven''s Mandate that this seat has encountered! Even the Absolute Heaven back then was probably not as troublesome as you. If I give you another few year''s time, you might really be able to threaten this god! If this Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao isn''t deficient, you might be able to grow to an existence even more powerful than Absolute Heaven! It''s too bad that �� it was still this god who won in the end!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Kanuo, his eyes spewing fire.


    He struggled, wanting to stand up. But it aggravated his wounds, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    This guy was the ringleader that decimated his family!


    But now, he was powerless to resist!


    "Hahaha! Are you extremely frustrated in despair? The person who killed your father is in front of you, but you can only quietly wait to be killed by the other party. This sort of feeling is very wonderful, right? However �� when this seat sees your expression, I''m very excited! Haha ��"


    Kanuo started chortling with laughter like crazy.


    This was a conspiracy that lasted for over 500 years. Kanuo wanted to doom Ye Yuan to death countless times, but he did not succeed.


    Kanuo was challenging Heavenly Dao, but he failed.


    Ye Yuan rose up like a comet, giving Kanuo tremendous pressure.


    Ye Yuan was too strong!


    When he heard Yue Ji say that she was almost shocked to death by Ye Yuan, Kanuo decided to come into being ahead of schedule without the slightest hesitation!


    He could not give Ye Yuan any more time to grow.


    This Son of Heaven''s Mandate seemed to be not quite the same as the ones he encountered before.


    "Li-er, bring Ye Yuan away first! Leave this place to this old man!" Long Teng suddenly let out a long sigh and said to Yue Mengli calmly.


    Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli trembled all over. They knew that Long Teng wanted to defend to the death here.


    "No! I''m not leaving!" Ye Yuan used all the strength in the body to shout.


    Long Teng turned around and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, for this old man to be able to meet you, watch you grow, it''s already enough! You are this old man''s pride in this lifetime! Where there''s life, there''s hope. I, this old bag of bones, am already useless. As long as you''re around, Kanuo he will not be considered to have won, and the Divine Realm will not perish either!"


    Ye Yuan''s tears gushed out. He clenched his fists tightly, using all the strength in his body, wanting to stand up.


    But he could not do it!


    The battle with Zhuge Qingxuan, he already spent everything he had.


    "Senior!"


    "Li-er, what are you still waiting for?!" Long Teng yelled coldly.


    Two rows of tears flowed down from the corners of Yue Mengli''s eyes. Toward Long Teng, how could she be willing to part too?


    But at this time, she did not seem to have more options.


    "Senior, you �� take care!"


    Finished talking, Yue Mengli gritted her teeth and brought Ye Yuan away.


    "Li-er, I''m not leaving! Don''t bring me away!" Ye Yuan yelled.


    "Big Brother Yuan �� I-I''m sorry!" Yue Mengli said with tears in her eyes.


    "Long Min, even if the dragon clan is eradicated today, you''ll also have to ensure Ye Yuan leaves!" This was Long Teng''s final yell.


    "Senior rest assured, my dragon clan stands proudly in heaven and earth, and definitely won''t compromise!" Long Min''s expression turned stern as he replied solemnly.


    "Huhu, what a touching scene. It''s just a pity that �� none of you can leave today!"


    Kanuo smacked a palm out nonchalantly. A massive blood-colored palm headed straight for Ye Yuan through the air.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was currently not far from Kanuo. Seeing the power of this palm, his gaze immediately turned intent.


    This palm was too terrifying!


    Even at his prime, he was absolutely unable to receive this palm too!


    Long Teng''s figure moved, directly blocking between the enormous palm and Ye Yuan, and swiftly smacked a palm out!


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Back then, he imparted this move to Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan already surpassed his predecessor.


    It was just that, how could the Long Teng without a physical body be Kanuo''s match?


    Sensing that terrifying palm behind, Ye Yuan turned his head back, and his eyes involuntarily turned bloodshot from anger!


    "NO!"


    A resentful to the extreme emotion pent up in Ye Yuan''s chest. Under the violent anger that attacked the heart, Ye Yuan''s vision went dark, and he fainted away.


    "Huhu, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"


    Kanuo smiled lightly and did not think anything of Long Teng at all.


    Long Teng only felt like his soul was going to be scattered facing this palm.


    Too strong!


    The current Kanuo was even stronger than back then.


    Long Teng slowly shut his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.


    Right at this time, waves of ripples suddenly flooded the space. A black-clothed person slowly walked out, lightly raised his palm, and received that black-colored enormous palm.


    Then a scene that left everyone dumbfounded happened!


    That blood-colored enormous palm actually gradually dissipated into nothingness just like that!


    Kanuo''s gaze turned intent; his expression became sullen.

 1208 The King Returns!

    Everyone was incomparably shocked. Such a terrifying palm was actually blocked by this black-clothed person so nonchalantly.


    It looked like this black-clothed person''s strength was actually not beneath Kanuo''s!


    "It''s really you! You really didn''t die!" Kanuo said solemnly.


    That black-clothed person said coolly, "You haven''t die, so how could I dare die?!"


    "Humph! You''re really lingering on relentlessly!" Kanuo said with a cold snort.


    "The one who''s lingering on relentless should be you, right? Being suppressed so many times, you''re still so persistent!" the black-clothed person said.


    Kanuo''s face turned black, and he said, "Suppressing this god, you have to pay at the cost of your life! This Immortal Grove Region will eventually be this god''s!"


    "You can stop daydreaming! With me around, you can forget about succeeding. Moreover, as long as Ye Yuan grows up, most likely �� it wouldn''t be suppressed so simply!" the black-clothed person said coolly.


    "Then, that will also have to wait until he grows up!" Kanuo said with a cold snort.


    "You can rest assured. With me around, he''ll grow up!" The black-clothed person''s words exuded faint confidence.


    Long Teng did not have the joy of surviving a disaster at all. His entire person was currently akin to being struck by lightning, staring fixedly at this black figure in front.


    The current Long Teng was agitated until he shuddered all over!


    Even though the black-clothed person had his back facing him, he was too familiar with this person!


    "Is �� Is it you?" Long Teng asked quiveringly.


    The black-clothed person''s entire person was shrouded in the black cloak, unable to see his features at all.


    But these were all not obstacles to Long Teng.


    The black-clothed person slowly turned around and opened his mouth to say: "Old partner, it''s been hard on you these few years."


    Long Teng''s entire body trembled. He opened his mouth but did not know what he should say.


    50 thousand years already, he had once harbored the mentality of getting lucky too, thinking that this person did not die yet, and would still return to fight side-by-side with him.


    But Long Teng silently waited for 50 thousand years, and he did not return.


    Only all the way until Ye Yuan appeared did Long Teng start a brand new life.


    Fighting side by side together with Ye Yuan, he felt like it was the same as before, making his hot blood boil.


    Long Teng thought that he really died and would never come back anymore.


    But now, he actually appeared miraculously.


    Unfortunately �� Long Teng was just an artifact spirit now and could not cry at all.


    Otherwise, he would really like to have a good cry.


    "Tsk tsk, today''s moving scenes are really many! Not bad, not bad, since you brothers have reunited, then go down below together and catch up about old times," Kanuo said with a look of ridicule.


    The black-clothed person said to Long Teng, "Catch up again later."


    Finished talking, the black-clothed person turned around and said to Kanuo, "How dare the general of a defeated army speak of bravery!"


    Kanuo said indifferently, "General of a defeated army? To think that you also dare to say it! That great battle 50 thousand years ago, the victor was not decided yet! At present, this god had a huge increase in strength and wants to weigh whether or not your strength is sufficient to contend with this god!"


    The black-clothed person said coolly, "As you wish."


    When Kanuo saw the black-clothed person''s composed look, his heart involuntarily sunk.


    But he was not that sort of character who could be frightened away with a roar.


    In the present Divine Realm, only this black-clothed person was able to contend with him.


    As long as he killed him, who else in this world could stop his footsteps of unifying the Divine Realm?


    The black-clothed person extended his hand and grabbed. A bizarre force instantly shuttled through the void.


    Yue Mengli''s and Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Yue Mengli was unaware of what was going on. She only felt a blur before her eyes, and she actually returned to her original place!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    "Senior Long Teng, this �� What''s going on here?" Yue Mengli said to Long Teng.


    When Long Teng saw Fang Tian''s move, his eyes lit up too.


    Seems like �� Fang Tian''s strength was even stronger than before!


    Seeing this scene, Long Teng''s heart was also put back in place.


    "No need to panic. It''s Brother Fang who teleported you guys back with his great magical ability! Today''s situation already took a favorable turn!" Long Teng said smilingly.


    "Brother Fang?" Yue Mengli looked towards the black-clothed person with a puzzled look.


    "That''s right. He''s the Vast Heaven Pagoda''s previous owner, Fang Tian!" Long Teng said with a smile.


    Yue Mengli''s beautiful face was incomparably shocked and she said in disbelief, "He''s �� Senior Fang Tian? He �� He''s actually still alive!"


    At this time, Fang Tian reached his hand out and beckoned. The Vast Heaven Stele actually broke away from Ye Yuan of its own accord and flew into his hand.


    The feeling of amiss in Kanuo''s heart became stronger and stronger. After he obtained the Fiendsource Bead, although his strength did not recover to its peak, it already recovered 70%.


    The current him was even stronger than when he encountered Fang Tian back then!


    Could it be that in these 50 thousand years, Fang Tian''s strength had another significant increase?


    But �� in this age where it was unable to break through to Deity Realm, how could this possible?


    Rumble ��


    All of a sudden, fiendish energy surged on Kanuo''s body. A black bead faded in and out on his forehead.


    A terrifying aura instantly swept across every corner.


    Two mighty supreme powerhouses matching powers, everyone had to give a wide berth.


    But under the monstrous fiendish energy, Fang Tian was composed and collected.


    People did not see him making any actions either. The Vast Heaven Stele suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light!


    Just this aura was far stronger than when in Ye Yuan''s hands/


    "Humph! Not seeing for 50 thousand years, you''re still using this move? Looks like you''ve exhausted your bag of tricks!" Kanuo said with a cold snort.


    When Fang Tian heard that, he said coolly, "Dealing with you, this move is enough!"


    "Is that so? Then I''ll let you have a taste of the means after this god''s strength has spiked greatly! Bloodfiend Storm!"


    Kanuo kneaded seals with both hands. A terrifying storm instantly enveloped Fang Tian''s figure.


    Immediately, there was a foul wind and rain of blood!


    This blood rain had extremely terrifying penetrative and corrosive ability. If ordinary martial artists were stained by a tiny bit, their souls would disintegrate at once too.


    However, situated deep inside it, Fang Tian was shrouded in layers by the light halo emitted on the Vast Heaven Stele.


    No matter how the wind and rain battered, I stand steadfast as a rock!


    "Heaven and Earth Throw!"


    Right then, the Vast Heaven Stele in Fang Tian''s hands suddenly disappeared.


    Kanuo''s pupils constricted. An enormous blood palm suddenly smacked out, wanting to resist the Vast Heaven Stele''s heaven-shaking throw.


    Bang!


    A terrifying collision, no idea how many times more intense than Ye Yuan''s battle with Zhuge Qingxuan prior to this.


    Everyone looked at those two figures in the sky with solemn looks. Even their breathing stopped.


    These two people''s victory and defeat, they determined the Divine Realm''s future direction. It was not up to people to not feel deep anxiety.


    Rumble ��


    Bloodfiend Storm abruptly scattered. Kanuo''s figure actually flew out backward.


    All of a sudden, Kanuo''s fiendish energy diminished considerably.


    Seeing this scene, all of the dragon clan''s members had greatly roused morale on their faces!


    "Hahaha, won! This mysterious powerhouse is so powerful, to actually be able to defeat even a Deity Realm powerhouse. Could he �� be a Deity Realm powerhouse too?"


    "Finally saved! I feel that today was just like being tormented in an oil bath, too terrifying!


    "Kill! Kill the fiend race!"


    ...


    For a moment, war cries filled the air.


    "Go!"


    Kanuo practically did not have the slightest hesitation and directly shattered space, bringing his group of subordinates and fled at a splitting pace.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression changed a few times and finally entered inside too.

 1209 A Hero Past His Prime

    Kanuo fleeing in panic made everyone dance for joy.


    There was jubilation in the dragon clan!


    Today, virtually every clansman hovered between life and death.


    This impact on the mind simply made people breakdown.


    Among them, no one was happier than Long Teng.


    Meeting Fang Tian again after a time interval of 50 thousand years, the agitation in his heart could be imagined.


    "Huhu, not seeing for 50 thousand years, I didn''t expect that Brother Fang''s strength is actually a magnitude greater!" Long Teng went up to greet with a smile.


    After all, he was an old monster who had lived for several tens of thousands of years. Through this short while of subsiding, Long Teng''s emotions already stabilized, and he was not as agitated as before.


    But the joy revealed in his words was hard to conceal.


    But Fang Tian kept standing there and did not move, did not answer Long Teng either.


    Long Teng''s expression became ugly. A foreboding feeling welled up.


    "Brother Fang, a-are you alright?"


    "Puhwark ��"


    Suddenly, Fang Tian sprayed out a mouthful of blood mist, his figure actually started teetering on the verge of collapse.


    "Brother Fang!"


    When Long Teng saw the situation, he could not help turning pale with fright.


    Fang Tian waved his hand and said, "I''m fine. Go to the dragon clan before talking."


    This scene made everyone''s heart seize up again.


    Long Teng''s expression flickered incessantly, his heart suspending.


    ...


    At this time, in an open field, Zhuge Qingxuan and Kanuo stood facing each other.


    "Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, tsk tsk, if not for this seat rushing over in time, you would have become the Divine Realm''s greatest laughingstock tomorrow." Kanuo looked at Heaven Stabilizing Divine King with a smile that was insincere.


    Zhuge Qingxuan could not help choking up when he heard that. If other people said these words, he would have long exterminated the other party with a finger.


    But this one before his eyes was much stronger than him!


    Moreover, what Kanuo said was right.


    If not for him making it in time today, Zhuge Qingxuan, this Heaven Stabilizing Divine King who was known as the Divine Realm''s number one, would become the entire Divine Realm''s laughingstock tomorrow.


    At the thought of that scene earlier, he still had lingering fear in his heart.


    This Ye Yuan was too insidious!


    This guy actually plotted against him, wanting to kill him even at the risk of mutual destruction.


    The more he thought, the more uncontrollable Zhuge Qingxuan''s rage became.


    He was confident that with his strength, even if Long Min and Ye Yuan teamed up, they absolutely could not keep him behind too.


    If not for Ye Yuan scheming against him, how could he possibly have a narrow shave with death?


    Of course, what he did not expect even more was that Ye Yuan really had the strength to make him bite the dust!


    It was just that in Zhuge Qingxuan''s heart, he did not think that he was the loser. He was finding an excuse for his failure.


    "Enough crap, what the hell do you want?" Zhuge Qingxuan said crossly.


    "Heh, so brusque when talking, is this the attitude that you should have towards your benefactor?" Kanuo was not angry either and said with a faint smile.


    "Otherwise, what do you think? What kind of attitude do you think I should have toward a member of the fiend race?" Zhuge Qingxuan said coldly.


    "Haha . .. you''re indeed as hypocritical as your ancestor, Zuo Zong! This god is a heavenly fiendgod, could it be that you still want to be able to do immoral things while maintaining a good name in front of this god?" Kanuo said with a loud laugh.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression changed, and he said, "You know Ancestor Zuo Zong?"


    "Huhu, of course I know. We''ve even exchanged blows before! Back then, if not for him fleeing just before going into battle, Absolute Heaven might really have been able to slay Yue Ji and me. But this god didn''t expect that his wise action of saving his own skin let his Dao legacy carry on for as long as a million years," Kanuo said smilingly.


    Facing Kanuo, the Divine Realm''s number one Heaven Stabilizing Divine King actually had a feeling of being seen through too.


    This kind of feeling made Zhuge Qingxuan very annoyed!


    "Just spit out what you have to say!"


    Kanuo smiled and said, "Defect to this god!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression changed, and he said, "Impossible!"


    "What if this god can let you attain the true Divine Realm''s number one?" Kanuo said with a smile that was not a smile.


    ...


    Five days later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.


    Looking at this old man who practically crawled out from inside a coffin, the respect in Ye Yuan''s heart spontaneously welled up.


    "Ye Yuan pays respect to Senior Fang Tian!"


    Fang Tian was thin and emaciated, his face without any color, looking just like a corpse.


    Ye Yuan was proficient in medicinal knowledge and saw through at a glance, Fang Tian practically turned himself into a living corpse in order to extend his longevity.


    Even so, he had also already reached the extent of oil giving out and the lamp expiring.


    Fang Tian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a look of relief, "Good, good! Each new generation really excels over the old one! Back then, this old man glimpsed heaven''s secret, leaving the Vast Heaven Stele in the Endless World. Actually, I was very uncertain in my heart. I didn''t expect that it actually ran into a prodigious talent like you."


    Ye Yuan''s heart suddenly stirred and he opened his mouth and said, "Senior, could it be that �� you''re the Heaven''s Secret Tower''s master? Also, that mysterious organization that resists the fiend race, could the mysterious powerhouse at the back be Senior?"


    When Fang Tian heard that, he suddenly burst into laughter.


    Long Teng similarly stroked his beard and smiled as he said, "Brother Fang, you lost our bet!"


    Fang Tian laughed loudly and said, "Lost, I lost! However, this old man lost happily! For these 50 thousand years, this old man has never been so happy like today before. Cough, cough, cough ��"


    Fang Tian laughed too hard and actually started coughing fiercely.


    Long Teng''s expression changed when he saw the situation. "Brother Fang!"


    Fang Tian waved his hand and said, "No worries, this old man can''t live for long in the first place. Being able to see Ye Yuan grow up, I can die in peace too."


    "Ye Yuan!" Long Teng''s gaze involuntarily looked toward Ye Yuan and actually carried a pleading expression.


    Ye Yuan was a peak Alchemy Emperor who grasped Divine Dao laws. If one wanted to save Fang Tian, nobody else was worthy except him.


    Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and said, "Senior Fang Tian has probably already not taken action for many years in order to extend his life. This time, forcefully mobilizing essence energy, his vitality was used up. Even a divine pill likely has no power to turn the tables too!"


    Long Teng''s entire body trembled when he heard that, his eyes revealing a look of hopelessness.


    But Fang Tian smiled and said, "My old partner, at our ripe old age, can''t you see through it yet? Actually, I should have long died 50 thousand years ago. Being able to live until now is already a profit."


    Long Teng had a pained look as he said, "Seeing through life and death is easier said than done! Those Deity Realm powerhouses'' lifespans are easily several tens of thousands of years. They were probably unwilling to turn to dust as well, right?"


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "Haha, what you said makes sense. This old man eked out a meager existence until this date, how is it not because I couldn''t bear to die too? But at present, my condition, death is a release for this old man."


    Ye Yuan held his tongue by the side. Towards this pair of old brothers'' feelings, he was able to understand.


    Even if Fang Tian reached Half-Deity Realm, his lifespan would not increase by much either. At most, it was also just 20 thousand years of lifespan.


    Being able to live until now, Fang Tian used god knows how many secret arts and suffered how much torment.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and suddenly said, "I have a prescription. If it reaches arcane insight rank, it can help Senior Fang Tian extend his life for some time. But �� at most, there''s also just three year''s time. Furthermore, within these three years, Senior Fang Tian mustn''t take action anymore. Otherwise, you''ll immediately lose your life!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Fang Tian and Long Teng''s eyes light up.

 1210 Unexpected Surprise!

    "Even three years, that is fine too!" Long Teng said with a look of anticipation.


    Fang Tian had a look of anticipation too. At present, fiend calamity was erupting. Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo''s strength was even greater than in the past. Having him die just like this, he was really not willing.


    Moreover, he and Long Teng did not meet for 50 thousand years. They finally managed to reunite. He did not wish to be separated by life and death from here on as well.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I have a pill formula in my hands. It is called Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill. If ordinary martial artists consume it, extending longevity by 2000 years is no issue. It''s just that Senior Fang Tian''s current state, the effects are negligible. The spirit medicines that this pill formula requires are very rare too. I have the other spirit medicines in my hands. It''s just that one of the core medicines is a one-million-year-old Ghost Heavenly Incense. It''s hard to find in a short time."


    But Fang Tian laughed when he heard that and said, "These few years, in order to extend my life, this old man can be said to have employed every trick up my sleeves. If it''s spirit medicines, this old man found quite a few. I just happen to have this Ghost Heavenly Incense."


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression. The Ghost Heavenly Incense was a life-extending medicine to begin with. He reckoned that Fang Tian should have it in his hands, that was why he would say it.


    Otherwise, if they could not find the spirit medicines and he said this kind of thing, wouldn''t it be an empty dream?


    When Fang Tian saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he immediately understood in his heart and secretly thought to himself what formidable wits this boy had!


    He had always been paying attention to Ye Yuan. But his understanding of Ye Yuan was mostly on the surface.


    Only now, after actually meeting Ye Yuan, did he know that this boy was truly very different.


    Ye Yuan put away the Ghost Heavenly Incense and bid farewell to the two people. "The two of you catch up on old times first. Ye Yuan will be right back!"


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Fang Tian said with a vicissitude of emotion, "Old Partner, I had always prided myself on being exceptional. But only when I saw Ye Yuan did I know that there''s always someone better!"


    Long Teng also stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Haha, honestly, I''ve never believed that under this present Heavenly Dao, there''s still someone capable of surpassing you, all the way until I met Ye Yuan! You don''t know how arrogant he was when he challenged the Vast Heaven Pagoda back then. But I just couldn''t do anything to him. This boy is simply a freak, refreshing my understanding of him again and again. Even until now, I also dare not say that I completely understand him."


    Fang Tian roared with laughter when he heard that and said, "Hahaha �� with Ye Yuan around, perhaps my Divine Realm really have hope! It''s just too bad that he was born at the wrong time! If not for Heavenly Dao being deficient, he might be able to reach Senior Absolute Heaven, that kind of height!"


    ...


    Two days later, the pill tribulation descended.


    When Ye Yuan came out of the pill refinement room, it gave everyone a big fright.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have had a great illness, looking very dispirited.


    "Ye Yuan, you ��" Long Teng said in surprise.


    But Ye Yuan himself did not care at all and grinned as he said, "This Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill''s quality is a little better than I even imagined! Senior Fang Tian, quickly take it!"


    Fang Tian received the medicinal pill and said with a touched expression, "Thank you, Ye Yuan!"


    With Ye Yuan''s present realm, making himself like this when refining pills, it could be imagined how much effort he put in.


    Probably even when refining pills for himself, Ye Yuan would not put so much effort either, right?


    Fang Tian knew that this was Ye Yuan repaying him, and it was also out of respect towards him.


    Of course, it was also likely on account of Long Teng''s face.


    But without a doubt, Ye Yuan was a person who put ''relationship'' above all!


    Such a person was worthy entrusting to!


    "Huhu, Senior is too polite! Extending your life until now, you suffered pain that ordinary people cannot imagine. It was all for the Divine Realm. Senior did earth-shaking major things that were unbeknownst to the public. Yet Senior doesn''t seek fame and wealth. Ye Yuan respects Senior deeply! It''s just a shame that Ye Yuan is powerless to save the situation," Ye Yuan said regretfully.


    Perhaps after cultivating Alchemy Dao to a certain boundary, one could really defy the heavens. But the current Ye Yuan was clearly not equipped with that kind of power.


    A day later, Fang Tian completely refined the pill''s medicinal strength.


    When he exited seclusion, Long Teng and Ye Yuan both looked at him with a look of anticipation.


    The current Fang Tian, his complexion was much better than a few days ago.


    On that close to zombified face earlier, now it actually had some additional color!


    "How is it, Brother Fang?" Long Teng asked rather anxiously.


    The specifics of what effects the medicinal pill had, only Fang Tian himself would know after he consumed it.


    Fang Tian smiled mysteriously at this time but extended three fingers.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s face revealed a disappointed expression, and he said with a bitter smile, "In the end, can it only be three years?"


    Long Teng was also depressed for a while but felt relieved very quickly. Patting Ye Yuan, he said, "Ye Yuan, you''ve already tried your best! With Brother Fang''s bodily condition, being able to extend longevity for three years is already a miracle."


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Sigh, I thought that arcane insight rank �� would ultimately be a little better!"


    But Fang Tian chuckled and said happily, "Who told you guys three years? 30 years! Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, your alchemy skills are simply heaven-defying! This old man''s battered body, you were actually even able to bring back from the dead! Truly broadened my horizons!"


    Hearing these words, Ye Yuan himself was stunned too.


    Long Teng was stupefied first, then was immediately overjoyed and said, "Brother Fang, really? You can''t tease this old man!"


    Fang Tian laughed and said, "Bluff you for what! Ye Yuan only said three years'' time previously too. I didn''t harbor that much hope, feeling that being able to have one or two years is already very good. But, the more I refined the medicinal pill, the more shocked I became! This Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill simply seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. Not only did it recover most of the hidden injuries in my body, I even have 30 more years of lifespan out of thin air! How many years has it been, this old man has always suffered torment. Now, these pains were actually swept away clean! With this old man''s age, I even nearly jumped up just now!"


    "Hahaha �� it''s really too great! Ye Yuan, you''re also too conservative. Is this wanting to give this old man a whopping big surprise?" Long Teng said with a look of surprise.


    Ye Yuan himself also felt very surprised. But seeing Fang Tian and Long Teng like so, he felt very happy too.


    "Huhu, honestly speaking, I myself felt very surprised too. The power of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon somewhat exceeds my imagination! However, Senior Fang Tian, you still can''t employ essence energy right now. Otherwise, even immortals can''t save you!" Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    The more he dug into the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, the more Ye Yuan discovered the extensiveness and profoundness of this Divine Dao record.


    Looks like his path of Alchemy Dao was also merely at the beginning!


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "You can rest assured. This old man naturally knows this point. Previously giving Kanuo a heavy blow, I believe he won''t dare to anyhow make a move anymore either. At least, before his strength fully recovers, we should be safe!"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "His strength already reached such a realm, it''s actually not fully recovered yet?"


    Fang Tian said with vicissitudes of emotion, "A heavenly fiendgod''s strength is correspondent with Origin Deity Realm. This kind of existence, how could their strength be what we, mere mortals, are capable of imagining? In my view, his current strength at most also just recovered to around 70%. There''s still some distance away from full recovery!"

 1211 Pressed for Time

    "Senior Fang Tian, your current realm is ��" Ye Yuan asked rather curiously.


    That great battle before, he was in the middle of a coma and did not see it with his own eyes.


    But for Fang Tian to be able to overpower Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo with his worn-out body, his grasp toward Divine Dao laws had probably already reached an unimaginable level.


    Fang Tian smiled lightly and said, "If differentiating it according to the realms of Divine Dao, I should already be in the Heaven Glimpse Realm right now."


    Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath when he heard!


    The Divine Dao three great realms: Grotto Profound, Heaven Glimpse, and Origin!


    Fang Tian actually comprehended Divine Dao laws to the realm of Heaven Glimpse with Half-Deity Realm.


    This talent was simply appalling to hear!


    Ye Yuan was currently comprehending Divine Dao laws and knew the hardships involved.


    Furthermore, Skydistant said before, the disparity between each major realm of Divine Dao, was even harder than cultivating from the Essence Qi Realm to Deity Realm added up!


    Without the support of Divine Dao cultivation realm, wanting to comprehend Divine Dao laws was doubly difficult.


    But Fang Tian actually relied on his own comprehension ability and forcefully comprehended Divine Dao laws to such a boundary. It could simply be rated as freakish!


    "Senior is truly formidable! Ye Yuan admires!" Ye Yuan said from the bottom of his heart.


    In these 100 thousand years, probably only Fang Tian alone was able to comprehend Divine Dao laws to such a realm, right?


    It was just a shame that he currently had a dilapidated body. Otherwise, how could there be a chance for Kanuo to be cocky?


    Ye Yuan was currently lost in thought and suddenly discovered that Fang Tian and Long Teng did not move.


    He lifted his head and looked, and discovered that the two people were both using a strange gaze to look at him. He could not help asking curiously, "Two seniors are ��"


    Long Teng scolded with a laugh, "You brat, deliberately exasperating people, are you? To really talk about monstrous, probably nobody in this Divine Realm can compare to you, right?"


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "This old man has already cultivated for several tens of thousands of years. But you only truly immersed in the martial path for 30 years, and your strength is already close to Zhuge Qingxuan''s. To really compete in talent, this old man probably isn''t even fit to carry your shoes!


    Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, "Two seniors are too kind. Ye Yuan doesn''t mean that. It''s just that the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm is really far beyond reach to Ye Yuan!"


    "Huhu, doesn''t this old man know you still?" Long Teng said with a smile.


    But at this time, Fang Tian''s expression became serious, and he opened his mouth to say: "Ye Yuan, are you planning on going to the Godsfall Mountain Range?"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied, not expecting that Fang Tian actually even knew about this.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Fang Tian smiled and explained, "Don''t you forget, this old man set up the Heaven''s Secret Tower!"


    Ye Yuan said in puzzlement, "Could it be that Senior is really able to pry into heaven''s secrets?"


    Fang Tian smiled and recounted the events back then.


    It turned out that back then, Fang Tian''s and Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo''s paramount great battle was fought for a full nine days and nights.


    This battle, truly fought until the heavens rend asunder and the earth cracked. Finally, both sides sustained heavy losses!


    But at the end of this battle, Fang Tian and the heavenly fiendgod seemed to have triggered Heavenly Dao, and they actually experienced a trace of understanding!


    Ever since then, Fang Tian and the heavenly fiendgod, both of them actually had the ability to divine heaven''s secrets.


    The heavenly fiendgod was suppressed several times, and his strength did not recover fully in the first place.


    This battle with Fang Tian, he even greatly damaged his vitality and actually directly slumbered for as long as several tens of thousands of years!


    And Fang Tian also sustained serious injuries. He calculated heaven''s secrets. Hence he fled to the Endless World and left behind the Vast Heaven Pagoda inheritance, then entered the Godsfall Mountain Range himself!


    Fang Tian pried into heaven''s secrets and calculated that his path of survival lay in this Godsfall Mountain Range.


    In the Godsfall Mountain Range, Fang Tian chanced upon a fortuitous encounter and eventually prolonged his feeble existence until now.


    Later, he calculated that the heavenly fiendgod was about to come into being. Hence, he also chose to leave the Godsfall Mountain Range, wanting to seek out the heavenly fiendgod.


    But this time, the heavenly fiendgod became wiser.


    Moreover, he similarly had the ability to pry into heaven''s secrets. Hence, the two people started to match powers in the dark, all the way until today!


    After Ye Yuan heard, he sighed unceasingly too.


    This confrontation that lasted 50 thousand years, the final landing point lied on him.


    Fang Tian knew that he was already powerless to oppose the heavenly fiendgod. The reason why he chose to come into being was just in order to protect a phase in Ye Yuan''s journey!


    This favor could be said to be heavy!


    If not for Fang Tian''s 50 thousand years of eking out a meager existence, Ye Yuan would have already died in Kanuo''s hands several days ago.


    Then no one would be able to stop Kanuo''s footsteps in the Divine Realm anymore.


    "Then �� is Senior able to divine whether this trip of mine will be successful or not?" Ye Yuan said.


    Regarding entering the Godsfall Mountain Range, Ye Yuan also had no confidence in his heart.


    Inside the Godsfall Mountain Range, there were too many opportunities, but also too many dangers.


    The powerhouses who died in the Godsfall Mountain Range could be said to be too many to enumerate.


    But the Kunwu Divine Wood was in the depths of the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    Disregarding whether he could find it or not, the dangers on the way would be enough for him to choke on.


    Having someone who was capable of divining heaven''s secrets in front of him at this time, Ye Yuan had no reason to not ask about good or ill luck.


    But Fang Tian smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "Regarding your fate, I can only sense it vaguely. That Kanuo is likewise the same. Otherwise, he wouldn''t need to go through so much trouble to deal with you. Furthermore, this trip of yours is going to challenge Heavenly Dao. This is even more unable to conjecture. This trip, good or ill luck, is hard to predict!"


    Everything regarding Ye Yuan, Fang Tian and Kanuo were both unable to calculate entirely.


    As for the ranking of the Ten Great Divine Kings, Fang Tian also determined it through the others.


    Ye Yuan''s strength could not be guessed at all.


    The ranking that he gave Ye Yuan was fourth, but Ye Yuan nearly finished Zhuge Qingxuan off.


    This was Ye Yuan''s uncertainty.


    Ye Yuan could not help being rather disappointed. But had an additional hint of hidden worry towards the success or failure of this trip.


    "Ye Yuan, this trip is too perilous. You''d best stay in the dragon clan and cultivate bitterly! Brother Fang has 30 years'' time now. He scared away Kanuo, I believe he wouldn''t dare to act recklessly either. This time is sufficient for you to comprehend Divine Dao laws," Long Teng urged.


    Even Fang Tian could not guess good or ill luck, it indicated that the risk of Ye Yuan''s trip was too great.


    Inside the Godsfall Mountain Range, everything had a possibility of happening.


    Even if you were Son of Heaven''s Mandate!


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "If there''s a possibility, of course, I don''t wish to take this risk. But now that it came to this, I must go to the Godsfall Mountain Range!"


    Fang Tian also nodded and said, "Kanuo won''t give us 30 years'' time! In his current state, probably before long, he would be able to recover to his peak state. Furthermore, my understanding of him, when time passes, he''ll definitely be able to perceive something amiss. Ye Yuan''s time is too little! It''s just that �� Ye Yuan, can you tell me what do you want to go to the Godsfall Mountain Range for?"


    He could only calculate that Ye Yuan wanted to go to the Godsfall Mountain Range. But to do what exactly, he could not calculate in the slightest.


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, straight away briefly recounting the matter of the Dao Defying Pill.


    After Fang Tian and Long Teng heard, they both drew a cold breath!


    This matter, even Long Teng did not know either.


    "Ye Yuan, I know that your Alchemy Dao attainments are exceedingly high. But �� under the circumstances where Heavenly Dao is missing, it''s impossible for you to break through to Deity Realm! If you can succeed, the seniors would have long succeeded! Moreover, even if you successfully refine the Dao Defying Pill, without mystic qi flooding the body, you''re likewise unable to reach Deity Realm!" Fang Tian said.

 1212 Fiend Calamity Erupts!

    Wanting to reach the Deity Realm, mystic qi flooding the body was an indispensable step!


    But, in the current Divine Realm, the whereabouts of mystic qi had long already become unknown.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s Dao Defying Pill really had the effect of defying the heavens, without mystic qi flooding the body, it would also be futile in the end.


    Hence, Fang Tian and Long Teng, the two of them, were not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    In their view, Ye Yuan making use of this precious time to cultivate and comprehend Divine Dao laws was the right path.


    But Ye Yuan clearly did not think so.


    "Seniors, Kanuo won''t give us so much time! Moreover, wanting to kill Kanuo, I''ll have to comprehend to the Origin Deity Realm at the very least! But even if I comprehend to the Origin Deity Realm, I have no assurance in killing Kanuo either. Therefore, the Godsfall Mountain Range is my only option!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He had already made up his mind. No matter how Fang Tian and Long Teng persuaded him, it would not change either.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan felt that his judgment was not wrong.


    He almost killed Yue Ji, completely because Yue Ji was very weak.


    But Kanuo was already not far from recovering to his peak!


    Even though he would be subjected to many limitations, he was still the Divine Realm''s strongest existence.


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended to Origin Deity Realm Divine Dao laws, it was very hard to kill him too.


    Wanting to deal with Kanuo, there was only one path to take.


    That was �� breaking through to the Deity Realm!


    Right then, somebody from the dragon clan came to report. The Spirit Bristle Divine King had come to pay a visit.


    Teng Yun brought to them a piece of news that was not unexpected. The fiend calamity finally erupted!


    Except, the fiend race''s might had exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    The other seven super holy lands outside of the Medicine King Hall, four fell in enemy''s hands all at once!


    These four super holy lands became the fiend races domain within a few days.


    The Heavenly Sword Sect had long already existed in name only. The Holy City did not have any activities until now too. What remained was actually just one super holy land.


    This one super holy land was clearly already tottering on its feet. How could it resist the fiend race''s cavalry?


    This way, the Divine Realm had virtually one-third of the territory, which ended up as the area that the fiend race occupied.


    Hearing this news, everyone was in deep shock.


    Kanuo had long buried many chess pieces for the sake of today.


    Now that it erupted at once, it caught everyone by great surprise.


    These Eight Great Super Holy Lands more or less had heard about the matters of the fiend race.


    But they probably did not take it to heart at all!


    All the way until today, the fiend calamity erupted, instantly sweeping across over half of the Divine Realm with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering ears.


    Even though the Divine Realm still had many concealed forces, the nucleus was still with the Eight Great Super Holy Lands as the core.


    But now, the Eight Great Super Holy Lands virtually all fell, stupefying all of the Divine Realm''s martial artists all at once.


    Fang Tian let out a sigh and said, "Sigh, looks like these several thousand years of crossing swords, this old man was utterly defeated! I didn''t expect that Kanuo actually already secretly developed his forces to such an extent."


    Ye Yuan consoled him, "Senior''s achievements don''t lie here. If not for Senior striking fear into him for several thousand years, Kanuo wouldn''t need to be secretive like so. Most likely, the fiend calamity would have long erupted several thousand years ago. Some things can''t be helped. The only plan now is how to resist the fiend race''s assault and not self-blame."


    Fang Tian was long an arrow at the end of its flight already. Many things were on having the heart but lacking the strength.


    Just by relying on the Spirit Bristle Divine King, it was hard to support the overall situation.


    "What Ye Yuan said is right! Brother Fang, now that it came to this, talking about these is of no help to the matter too. We''d better discuss more on how we should handle the fiend race''s invasion," Long Teng said.


    Fang Tian sighed and said, "Under these circumstances, it''s already not convenient for me to show my face. I believe Kanuo won''t easily make an appearance either. He and I should have a tacit understanding. Before having absolute assurance, it should be wait and see. Ye Yuan, I''m already mentally and physically exhausted now. This position of Mystic Gate''s master, will be handed to you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "Senior, you''re ��"


    Toward Fang Tian''s action of shirking his responsibilities, Ye Yuan felt helpless.


    In Fang Tian''s present state, it was indeed not suitable to show face anymore.


    Having him preside over this war, he was also indeed having the will, but lacking in strength.


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "This old man knows your intention. But this sort of situation presently, there must be a person who steps up and preside over the human race''s and fiend race''s overall situation! Otherwise, the two races will plummet like water rushing down and covering hundreds of miles. Probably before long, the entire Divine Realm would thoroughly be occupied by the enemy. If this Mystic Gate had a second person to take over, I wouldn''t come and find you either."


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Fine then. Then Ye Yuan will not decline the responsibility anymore. It''s just that �� I hope that Brother Teng doesn''t take things too hard."


    He knew that Teng Yun followed Fang Tian for very long. But this position of Mystic Gate''s master, Fang Tian passed it to him.


    It was proper and reasonable that he had to apologize to Teng Yun.


    Teng Yun smiled and said, "This Teng is foolish and reached a conclusion after examining myself that I don''t have this ability to take on this great responsibility. No one is worthy of this position of master but you!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan did not have much understanding toward Mystic Gate, this organization.


    Of course, it was not just Ye Yuan.


    The majority of the people in the Divine Realm had never heard of Mystic Gate this organization.


    Ye Yuan only knew that people who possessed mystic rank tokens seemed to have very high statuses.


    But when Ye Yuan saw the five people in front of him, he was immediately stupefied.


    Spirit Bristle Divine King, Soul Martial Divine King, Heavenly Book Divine King, Void Distance Divine King, and Profound Wind Divine King!


    These five people were actually the Mystic Gate''s five great mystic lords!


    Among the Ten Great Divine Kings, there were actually half that were Fang Tian''s men!


    This strength could virtually be said to occupy half of the Divine Realm''s territory.


    Ye Yuan himself also did not expect that these five great divine kings would actually become his subordinates one day.


    Apart from the five great divine kings, the Mystic Gate''s forces were also much larger than Ye Yuan imagined.


    Just the peak Void Mystic powerhouses that Fang Tian groomed were as many as several dozen.


    As for initial-stage Void Mystic and Divine King Realm experts, there were even too many to enumerate.


    Even though this number was still far worse compared to the fiend race, it already greatly surprised Ye Yuan.


    It seemed like Fang Tian really made a lot of preparations for the sake of today.


    It was just that so many powerhouses were what Fang Tian spent thousands of years of hard work to nurture.


    He gave him the Mystic Gate without even batting an eyelid.


    This bearing was truly admirable.


    "You guys hid from me so bitterly!" Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head as he said.


    "Huhu, it''s also useless to tell you early. It''s also not late for you to know now! But now, we have to call you Master too. This Zhong never would have thought that your speed of rising would actually be so swift!" the Soul Martial Divine King Zhong Zizhen said with a laugh.


    These five people, Ye Yuan naturally knew them. The one with the best relationship was the Spirit Bristle Divine King and Soul Martial Divine King.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The matter last time, still have to thank Brother Zhong."


    What Ye Yuan was referring to was the matter of the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.


    "Just a matter of lifting my hands," Zhong Zizhen said coolly.


    After a while of small talk, Ye Yuan''s expression turned solemn and said, "My elder brothers, the fiend race great calamity is upon us now. Since this Ye succeeded this position of master, I''ll have to look to elder brothers more for support in the future. At present, the fiend race calamity erupted. The fiend race''s onslaught in unstoppable. Our Mystic Gate''s first battle must be fought beautifully!"

 1213 Besieged on All Sides

    "Sect Master, there are people from the Dawn Heavenly Palace coming after from the east! The one taking the lead seems to be their palace lord, Qin Tiannan!"


    "Sect Master, there are also people chasing over from the west! Seems like the Ziwei Sect!"


    "Sect Master ��"


    Bad news came one after another. The Ethereal Sect''s Sect Master, Lu Zizheng, had never been so despaired before.


    Eight great super forces were actually just left with them in a blink of an eye!


    The Ethereal Sect was still fighting with the Seven Absolute City and the Dawn Heavenly Palace prior to this for the territory left behind from the Medicine King Hall''s destruction.


    Who knew that in a blink of an eye, four great super holy lands all became the fiend race''s territory!


    When the news came, Lu Zizheng felt a cold wind blow down his back.


    Because these four great super holy lands'' holy lords, actually all became the fiend race''s fiend slaves, became lackeys in the fiend race''s hands!


    The four great holy lords actually brought their sects'' powerhouses and charged over towards the Ethereal Sect from all directions.


    Fortunately, he reacted fast and immediately abandoned their foundation, before escaping the four great super holy lands'' encirclement.


    Whatever foundation, whatever trump card, was all not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength!


    But at this time, these four great super holy lands already caught up. Furthermore, it was all the holy lords personally going into battle.


    He could still handle one, but how could he be a match for four great holy lords?


    "What kind of attitude does the Xu Family''s side have? Already reaching this point, could it be that they still want to live a reclusive life?" Lu Zizheng growled angrily.


    His fury was almost burning to the heavens already.


    Surveying the Divine Realm, there was actually no way out for him already!


    After evacuating the sect, there were only two places that he could go to.


    One was the Demon Region, and the other was the Four Great Families'' place of seclusion!


    After careful consideration, Lu Zizheng still decided to retreat to the Xu Family''s territory of the Four Great Families.


    Those who were not of one''s race were surely not of one heart and mind.


    The human race and demon race had never had much interaction. At this time, it was clearly still the human race that was a bit more reliable.


    But who knew that they had already sent quite a few groups of people to the Xu Family, but the Xu Family''s attitude had always been ambiguous and did not give a definite answer.


    With this to and fro, their best timing for escaping was also delayed.


    In a moment, the four great holy lands'' great army was going to wrap them up into dumplings already.


    Lu Zizheng never dreamed that already reached such a critical juncture of life and death, the Xu Family actually stood idly by and did nothing to save!


    Could it be that they really thought that they were able to only care about themselves and disregard other people?


    "Sect Master, Vice-Sect Master Feng returned from the Xu Family!" Suddenly, someone came forward to make a report.


    Lu Zizheng''s face lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly let him come over! Hang on, I''ll go over myself!"


    How could Lu Zizheng still wait patiently? He dashed out with a lunge.


    Seeing Vice-Sect Master Feng Tao, Lu Zizheng hurriedly asked, "How is it? What did the Xu Family say?"


    Feng Tao''s expression was incomparably ugly, and he said awkwardly, "The Xu Family said, asylum is okay, but the Ethereal Sect will have its name taken off the books from now on, and merge into the Xu Family, becoming a subsidiary of the Xu Family!"


    "What?! They �� They are bullying people too far!"


    Lu Zizheng stomped his feet in anger. The calm and collectedness of the past were long tossed beyond the ninth heaven by him.


    This was simply looting a burning house!


    According to the Xu Family''s terms, the Ethereal Sect''s Dao teachings would die out from this point.


    Moreover, he, this sect master, would probably be swallowed by the Xu Family sooner or later.


    This wishful thinking was really calculated too well!


    "Not good, Sect Master! All of our paths of retreat are already cut off! Right now, we only have the Xu Family, this path that can be taken!" Suddenly, a subordinate came up to give a report.


    Lu Zizheng''s expression turned as pale as paper. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Go, agree to the Xu Family''s terms first! Go in and then talk!"


    At this time, the four great super holy lands'' powerhouses already rushed over. Lu Zizheng had no choice and could only retreat while fighting.


    Miserable cries rang endlessly. Lu Zizheng''s heart was dripping blood.


    He thought in his heart, after today''s disaster passed, he would definitely find the Xu Family to settle this score well!


    At this time, the Xu Family was already waiting in full battle-array.


    After all, the four great super holy lands'' powerhouses were no joke.


    Not just the Xu Family, the other three families'' powerhouses had also all gathered over here.


    "Xu Guangyin, this seat agrees to your terms! Quickly open up the clan-protecting grand array and let us in!" Lu Zizheng said in a clear voice.


    The Xu Family''s family head, Xu Guangyin, was a Void Mystic powerhouse who had already touched upon Divine Dao laws.


    He said in a clear voice, "You swear a Heavenly Dao Oath first. If it''s violated, your Ethereal Sect will die a horrible death from top to bottom!"


    When Lu Zizheng heard these words, hot blood rushed to his head, and he almost fainted away.


    This bunch of guys really did not commit themselves until success was certain!


    They had totally taken a fancy on the Ethereal Sect''s inheritance. How was this saving people?


    "Xu Guangyin, I f*ck your uncle! You �� You''ll die a horrible death! Even if our Ethereal Sect is completely annihilated today, we won''t condescend to you all for the sake of overall interests either! I want to see how your Xu Family is going to give an account to the Divine Realm''s martial artists!"


    Lu Zizheng became extremely angry and actually spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    But Xu Guangyin gave a cold laugh and said, "Then you don''t need to worry about it! When your Eight Great Super Holy Lands tyrannically abused your power, when have you ever thought of our great families? Now that you met with difficulties, you know how to seek refuge with us? Huhu, how can there be such a good thing?"


    Lu Zizheng clenched his teeth and yelled out, "Ethereal Sect''s disciples listen up! The Xu Family is inhumane and unjust, throwing a rock down the well, standing by when others are in peril! Today, we''ll fight to the death in front of their gates and use our deceased souls to curse them to die a horrible death!"


    The Ethereal Sect''s great army was forced into a dead-end at this time. Each and every one of them became bound by a common hatred for the enemy instead.


    There was already no place for them to take shelter in this world anymore.


    It seemed like apart from fighting to the death, this one path, they already had no paths to take!


    "Fight!"


    "Fight!"


    "Fight!"


    Even a trapped beast would put up a desperate fight, let alone humans?


    The Ethereal Sect''s powerhouses all surged with a brutal aura and actually slaughtered back!


    "Hahaha �� Lu Zizheng, I urge you to surrender without resistance and become Lord Fiendgod''s fiend slave! Lord Fiendgod will give you countless benefits!" said the Dawn Heavenly Palace''s palace lord, Qin Tiannan, with a loud laugh.


    "Lu Zizheng, you can still repent now and be saved!" said the Ziwei Sect''s sect master.


    Lu Zizheng''s expression flickered incessantly, dumbstruck with amazement by this scene in front of him.


    These guys had actually fallen so far!


    He did not wish to become this kind of walking corpses whose minds and bodies were all enslaved!


    Becoming like this, he would rather die!


    "Kill!"


    Lu Zizheng did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately charging forward.


    But the moment they exchanged blows, Lu Zizheng discovered something amiss.


    His opponent was Qin Tiannan, but Qin Tiannan''s strength was more than a magnitude stronger than before!


    His current strength was likely not at all inferior compared to the Ten Great Divine Kings too!


    Bang!


    Qin Tiannan lifted his hand and gave a palm, directly smacked Lu Zizheng flying.


    "Hahaha, ant! Saw that? If you surrender to Lord Fiendgod now, I can still give you a chance!" Qin Tiannan said with a big laugh.


    Lu Zizheng gritted his teeth and said, "You dream on! Making me become like you, I''d rather die!"


    There was not the slightest trace of mercy in Qin Tiannan''s eyes as he said indifferently, "Since that''s the case, then you can go and die already!"


    Finished talking, Qin Tiannan''s palm slapped down.


    Lu Zizheng shut his eyes, waiting for death painfully.


    But this palm kept taking a long time to land.


    When he opened his eyes to take a look, he could not help revealing a look of wild ecstasy!

 1214 Walking Into a Trap

    "Profound �� Profound Wind Divine King! Void Distance Divine King!"


    Lu Zizheng never dreamed that these two great divine kings would actually descend at the final juncture and save their Ethereal Sect!


    "Lu Zizheng, you''re not bad! Got a bit of gut!" said the Profound Wind Divine King, Weng Yifan.


    Lu Zizheng was very forthright and said, "Letting me become like them, I''d rather die!"


    "Alright, leave the few of them to me. The rest, you shouldn''t have a problem, right?" the Void Distance Divine King, Yi Xing, opened his mouth and said.


    Lu Zizheng''s face turned vicious, and he said, "Of course there''s no problem!"


    Turning around, Lu Zizheng charged into the crowd.


    "Heh heh, Profound Wind Divine King, Void Distance Divine King! If it were before, we''d really not dare to provoke you guys. But now, what do you guys count for?" Qin Tiannan walked wantonly.


    "What we count for, you''ll know very soon!"


    The Void Distance Divine King''s indifferent voice sounded out, his figure suddenly vanishing.


    The Void Distance Divine King''s comprehension of spatial laws was exceedingly profound.


    Within a certain radius, he could virtually shuttle through space as he pleased. Hence, he was known as Void Distance.


    From a certain degree, he was very similar to Ye Yuan''s greater teleportation art!


    But, just talking about movement technique, he was more powerful than Ye Yuan!


    When the four great titans saw this scene, their pupils involuntarily constricted, and they instinctively became vigilant.


    "There''s still me! Don''t just care about guarding against him!"


    The Profound Wind Divine King smiled faintly, a storm rising out of nowhere!


    One after another, blade-like gale winds charged towards the four people.


    The four people were powerful too, each displaying their divine abilities, and actually became entangled in a struggle with the two great divine kings.


    Even though there were two great divine kings who joined in, the Ethereal Sect was still hopelessly outnumbered in the end.


    They had the will to kill the enemy, but their numbers were seriously at a disadvantage.


    For some time, the casualties were grievous.


    Right at this time, several hundred figures approached from far away, their speed exceedingly swift, joining the group battle very quickly.


    These several hundred people, the weakest was also peak Divine King!


    After they joined the group battle, a massive change immediately happened to the battle situation.


    The joining of so many Void Mystic Realm powerhouses, that was an overwhelming force.


    Unless there were Ten Great Divine King realm powerhouses coming to suppress, otherwise, it was totally irresolvable!


    Even though these several hundred people were few, they were like tigers entering a flock of lambs and started massacring wantonly.


    When the four great families saw this scene, their expressions could not help changing drastically!


    "Who are all these people? When did so many Void Mystic Realm powerhouses actually appear in the Divine Realm?" Xu Guangyin''s face changed as he said.


    "You guys, look! These people''s arms are all tied with a piece of silk ribbon, on it was written the word ''Mystic.'' It looks like they are from the same sect!" said the Fang Family''s family head.


    "My God! We actually didn''t know that the Divine Realm still had such a terrifying force! They all added up are enough to sweep across any faction!" The Cheng Family''s family head shuddered with fear when he saw these Void Mystic powerhouses.


    One had to know that a super holy land''s Void Mystic powerhouses were merely three to five.


    Those with a little more were also merely nine or ten.


    The four great families had deep foundations. Each family also had merely 11 or 12 Void Mystic powerhouses.


    But this mysterious faction before their eyes actually possessed hundreds of Void Mystic powerhouses!


    This was too much!


    "Brother Xu, I feel that we can''t watch from a hilltop while the two tigers fight anymore! In my view, these Void Mystic powerhouses are actually all just being commanded like foot soldiers. There are definitely even stronger powerhouses behind them! If we still look on with folded arms, it''s hard to guarantee that this mysterious faction won''t find trouble with our four great families!" The Hu Family''s family head said with furrowed brows.


    Xu Guangyin nodded his head and said in a loud voice, "Open the formation! Meet the enemy!"


    The four great families were taken aback by the Mystic Gate''s powerhouses'' power, and no longer dared to hole up in their turtle shell, immediately charging out.


    With them joining in, this great battle showed an even more one-sided trend.


    After all, the four great families'' strength foundation was even stronger than a super holy land.


    It was just that they normally revealed nothing.


    When Lu Zizheng saw this scene, he could not help smiling coldly and said, "Despicable villains who see which way the wind blows! The four great families are simply the disgrace of the human race!"


    He did not conceal this voice. Everybody heard it.


    Xu Guangyin''s expression changed, but he endured it and did not flare-up.


    At this time, the Profound Wind Divine King and Void Distance Divine King already thoroughly suppressed the four titans. The other martial artists'' battles also became without the slightest meaning because of the addition of the Mystic Gate''s powerhouses and the four great families.


    But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred again!


    In the horizon, rolling demonic clouds suddenly rushed over here. It was actually the fiend race''s great army rushing over!


    That surging fiendish energy made people''s expression changed when they saw it!


    A powerful figure tore through the air and arrived, looked at the two great divine kings who were currently in the heat of battle, opened his mouth, and said "Kill them all for this seat!"


    This figure was none other than precisely Fiendgod Jia Lan!


    At this time, Fiendgod Jia Lan already completely recovered his strength, fiendish energy surging, looking very terrifying.


    What he brought were also all fiend race powerhouses, each and every one having extraordinary strength. They were actually not the slightest bit weaker compared to those Mystic Gate powerhouses!


    The physical bodies of fiend race powerhouses were extremely formidable. Moreover, fiendish energy''s corrosion toward martial artists was very formidable.


    Same-realm martial artists were completely unable to deal with a fiend race powerhouses.


    With no choice, those Mystic Gate powerhouses all got into groups of two or three, and they dealt with a fiend together.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Zizheng, as well as Xu Guangyin, these powerhouses'' expressions all changed greatly.


    It turned out that this was the fiend race''s true strength!


    Such a great powerful army, how should one resist?


    The originally one-sided situation actually reversed once more because of the addition of this batch of fiend race army!


    However, what made everyone feel even stifled in their hearts, was still the Fiendgod Jia Lan, who was standing in the sky with glinting eyes.


    His aura was too powerful, powerful until it made everyone despair.


    "Hahaha �� foolish humans, to actually dare oppose my supreme fiend race! This seat will send you all on your way right here!"


    Jia Lan suddenly burst out laughing. A terrifying attack was already in the midst of accumulating power.


    Had not taken action yet and all of the human powerhouses felt their hearts turn cold.


    Such a level of existence was totally not what they were capable of withstanding!


    Boom!


    Jia Lan''s attack was unleashed brazenly, without the slightest hesitation.


    Once this large area-of-effect killing skill landed, who knew how many experts would be injured or killed.


    As for those fiend slaves'' deaths, Jia Lan did not care at all!


    "Hahaha, all go to hell!" Jia Lan said with a hideous grin.


    A terrifying dragon roar suddenly surged to the sky!


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Boom!


    At the critical moment, Ye Yuan finally rushed over, resolving this certain-kill blow!


    Powerhouses the likes of Fiendgod Jia Lan were not what ordinary people were capable of dealing with.


    Even if his realm was being suppressed at peak Tier 9, his Divine Dao martial techniques were also much stronger compared to ordinary martial artists.


    "Jia Lan, your opponent is me!" Ye Yuan looked at Jia Lan and said coldly.


    But Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance did not move Jia Lan in the slightest.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Haha, boy, you grew up really quickly! I still remember when I just saw you, you were merely a Heaven Enlightenment Realm rookie. Now, your strength can actually contend head-on with this seat already. However �� about your walking into a trap, this seat still welcomes it very much! Hahaha ��"


    Jia Lan laughed quite wildly, not putting Ye Yuan in his sights at all.


    Right at this moment, two more figures appeared out of the blue!


    The auras on them were actually not the least bit beneath Jia Lan''s!

 1215 Mystic Gates Fangs!

    "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, did you think that us getting into a fight, the goal was really these people, this sort of trash? Our objective from the very beginning was you!"


    Fiendgod Jia Lan chortled with laughter. Regarding Ye Yuan falling into a heavy encirclement, he was incomparably delighted in his heart.


    He had suffered several major losses consecutively at Ye Yuan''s hands and had long hated Ye Yuan to the bones, wishing that he could flay and swallow him alive.


    This time, the opportunity finally came!


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Turns out that the dogs under Kanuo are far from just you alone!"


    The smile on Jia Lan''s face abruptly disappeared, and he said furiously, "That mouth of yours, this seat will definitely tear it into pieces! There are a total of six great fiendgods under the two lords. This time, all of them moved out for the sake of you! Brat, there''s no escape from your doom this time!"


    Far away, another three figures appeared.


    Those three fiendgods just watched from far away like this and did not seem to have the intention of coming forward to help.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes raised slightly, and he said, "Looks like Yue Ji that old witch joined hands with Kanuo."


    This discovery made Ye Yuan rather surprised.


    He already guessed previously that the reason why Yue Ji would recover her strength alone at the Moonhowl Sect, was likely because she was at odds with Kanuo.


    He did not expect that they actually joined forces now.


    It was just that Yue Ji being seriously injured by him, it was likely not that easy to recover in a short while.


    Rather, these six great fiendgods actually all fell under Kanuo''s command.


    In order to deal with him, Kanuo actually sent all six great fiendgods out. It was truly a big move.


    "Brat, come to a realization! Today, even the Jade Emperor can''t save you!" Jia Lan said with a hideous grin.


    "Jia Lan, talking nonsense with him for what? Just kill him straight away! Seriously, dealing with a brat who isn''t even at peak divine king actually needed all six of us to move out!" another fiendgod said impatiently.


    "Jia Di, you shut your mouth for this seat! Don''t you forget! This battle, you all have to listen to this seat''s dispatchment! This brat''s strength isn''t as simple as on the surface. If you underestimate him, you''ll suffer a huge loss!" Jia Lan said.


    The matter of Yue Ji almost being killed did not transmit internally within the fiend race.


    The heavenly fiendgods were invincible existences in the eyes of the fiends.


    This kind of disgraceful thing, it was naturally impossible to announce it externally.


    Therefore, Jia Di and these fiendgods were unaware of Yue Ji''s matters.


    They had also exited seclusion not long and did not know of Ye Yuan''s terror.


    In their view, how could an initial-stage divine king human be worthy of taking so seriously?


    "Heh, Jia Lan, you were suppressed for too long and really became timid as a mouse. This brat, this seat can smack to death with one slap. That punk actually mobilized everyone and summoned all of us here!" Jia Di said disdainfully.


    Jia Di''s attitude also thoroughly enraged Jia Lan.


    He gave a cold laugh and said, "Alright then, all of us don''t take action. I want to see how you''ll slap him to death with one slap!"


    "Heh heh, just you watch!"


    Jia Di was very disdainful and struck an indifferent claw out.


    Cold piercing fiendish energy became an enormous black claw, grabbing towards Ye Yuan.


    The seemingly careless claw was downright powerful.


    Ye Yuan felt like the entire space seemed to be locked, unable to move a muscle at all.


    When Jia Lan saw this scene, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    Actually, it was not just Jia Di. The other people were similarly very disdainful toward Ye Yuan. It was just that they did not express it.


    Not letting them experience Ye Yuan''s strength, they did not know how terrifying Ye Yuan was!


    Ye Yuan''s current strength, he more or less knew a little. It absolutely could not be underestimated!


    Except, to the current Ye Yuan, this bit of means was considered nothing at all.


    His body shook slightly and shook off this restraint.


    At the same time, Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm emerged with a mad roar.


    This palm astounded the whole world!


    "What a terrific Heaven Surmounting Divine King! This palm is too terrifying!"


    "No wonder he can rank as the fourth divine king! This strength is simply staggering!"


    "Haha, with the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, we''re saved!"


    ...


    The Ethereal Sect''s powerhouses immediately had a great boost in confidence when they saw this unbelievably powerful palm.


    And right as Ye Yuan made his move, the faces of the six great fiendgods, including Jia Lan, changed at the same time!


    Jia Di''s expression changed even more dramatically. But it was already too late to want to change moves.


    Dragon roars lingered incessantly on the ears. It was only to hear a massive boom. Jia Di''s body was directly struck flying out far away.


    But Ye Yuan did not move in the slightest.


    These fiendgods had their realms suppressed by Heavenly Dao. Even though they comprehended Divine Dao laws, their strengths were actually not powerful to the extent where they were undefeatable.


    Their strength was at the very most more or less on par with the Ten Great Divine Kings'' top five.


    As for whose strength was a magnitude greater, it would have to depend on their respective means.


    Jia Di harbored a contemptuous heart. This claw did not use full strength in the end. How could he be Ye Yuan''s match?


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of being courteous. This palm landing, it directly dissipated quite a bit of Jia Di''s fiendish energy, making his aura very faint all of a sudden.


    With this, how could those few fiendgods still dare to belittle Ye Yuan? Each and every one of them had solemn expressions, akin to facing a great enemy.


    "Heh, weren''t you slapping people to death? Why were you almost smacked to death by him? Grow some brain cells before talking big! If the Son of Heaven''s Mandate was so easy to deal with, how could we have been suppressed for as long as a million years? Idiot!"


    Jia Lan found a chance and scolded Jia Di by enumerating his wrong-doings fervently.


    Jia Di''s expression flickered incessantly, wanting to refute, but could not find an excuse.


    He bragged to the heavens earlier, but did not expect that the strength of this young man who was only initial-stage divine king realm was actually so powerful!


    Jia Di could only give a cold snort and stopped speaking.


    "Alright, the three of us attack together! The three of you cheer us on by the side!" Jia Lan instructed.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Cheering on? Who told you guys that I came by myself? Kanuo is also looking down on the human race too much. Is this really bullying that my race has nobody?"


    While talking and laughing, three figures tore through the air and arrived. It was precisely the Spirit Bristle Divine King, the Soul Martial Divine King, as well as Long Min!


    These three great powerhouses were all divine king powerhouses who comprehended Divine Dao laws. Their strength absolutely did not lose to these fiendgods.


    Placed in the Divine Dao Era, these three people were bound to be Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Seeing this scene, Jia Lan''s expression changed drastically.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such powerful companions.


    The existence of the Mystic Gate was extremely secretive even in the entire Divine Realm.


    Apart from these divine king themselves, nobody knew at all.


    Today, the Mystic Gate finally revealed its fangs to the fiend race!


    "Heh, you all are wary of this young master''s Voice of the Dragon God, so that''s why you don''t dare to let them attack together, right? It''s just that �� dealing with the three of you, why would I need the Voice of the Dragon God?"


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly. The Evil Extermination Divine Sword attacked fiercely, rushing towards Jia Lan trio.


    Spirit Bristle trio also did not say anything, immediately fighting together with the other three great fiendgods.


    Ye Yuan fought one-on-three, two great Divine Dao laws intertwining, shuttled back and forth between the three great fiendgods, and actually did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest!


    The more Jia Lan fought, he more alarmed he got. He originally thought that he had cornered Ye Yuan. But did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually formidable to such a degree.

 1216 Nothing More Than This

    Evil Extermination Sword and Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame were both the nemesis of the fiend race. Three great fiendgods surrounding and attacking Ye Yuan were like dealing with a porcupine; there was nowhere to get started.


    Fighting three-on-one, no doubt, it was hard for Ye Yuan to hurt them, but they could not do the slightest thing to Ye Yuan as well.


    The other side, in contrast, Spirit Bristle the three of them, were actually somewhat laboring to deal with the fiendgods.


    The six great fiendgods were former Deity Realm powerhouses in the end. Even though their cultivation realms were suppressed, it was still a notch above Spirit Bristle they all.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s restraining was too terrifying.


    Regardless of whether it was the Evil Extermination Divine Sword or Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame, those were both deadly existences.


    Once they really got hit, even if they were fiendgods, they would also have to lose a layer of skin even if they did not die!


    The fiend race was exceedingly difficult to kill, but it was not that they were unkillable.


    Especially encountering someone like Ye Yuan, it was truly incomparably tricky.


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is so powerful, to actually be able to battle three great fiendgods alone! No wonder he could get this title. His strength is probably not beneath the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King already, right?"


    "Yeah! You look at the Spirit Bristle Divine King they all, being suppressed firmly by the other three great fiendgods. At this rate, they will be defeated sooner or later."


    "Back then, the outside world still had many suspicions about the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. But I did not expect that the one who came forward at the final juncture to save us was actually him!"


    "Time will reveal a man''s heart! The Holy City is hailed as the Divine Realm''s hegemon. But I didn''t expect that when the fiend calamity erupted, they actually did not have any activities at all. Truly disappointing to the max! Rather, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and Spirit Bristle Divine King they all came forward without hesitation!"


    "Oh, right, I''d forgotten if you didn''t mention it! The fiend calamity erupted, the Eight Great Super Holy Lands were virtually completely annihilated. Only the Holy City didn''t have movements so far. Could it be ��"


    ...


    The feelings of the masses manifested very quickly in front of this kind of race extermination crisis.


    Ye Yuan used his actions and won everyone''s respect.


    Furthermore, the Holy City''s strange behavior also aroused a lot of suspicions.


    The fiend calamity erupted but did not attack the Holy City; why was that?


    It was like some kind of tacit agreement was reached between the Holy City and Fiend Race, each staying clear out of the other''s lane.


    "Don''t dawdle with him anymore! Use the Starburst Grand Art and directly blot him out!" Jia Lan suddenly spoke up.


    "Okay!"


    Jia Di and the other fiendgods were also alarmed by Ye Yuan''s strength and agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    The fiendish energy on the three people''s bodies heaved in and out. Limitless fiendish energy instantly enveloped Ye Yuan inside!


    The three of them fired out spells in mid-air endlessly, forming an enormous several-human size black ball in mid-air.


    And Ye Yuan was directly engulfed by that black ball.


    This boundless fiendish energy was displayed by three great fiendgods joining hands. The power could be imagined.


    Following the fiendish energy injected by the three people becoming more and more, the energy undulations that surfaced inside this black ball became increasingly alarming.


    When the Ethereal Sect''s disciples saw this scene, all of them were jittery with fear, and could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.


    One could imagine how much danger Ye Yuan, who was currently sealed inside the black ball, was in!


    "Not good, this surge of energy undulation is too horrifying! The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is in danger!"


    When Lu Zizheng saw this scene, his face could not help turning white as a sheet.


    At this time, they already completely could not sense Ye Yuan''s aura, and totally did not know what situation Ye Yuan inside the black ball was in.


    But he was completely powerless to do anything.


    With his strength, he would be one-shotted by the fiendgods before even going close.


    "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, if you can withstand this blow, this seat will kneel down and lick your shoes! Go to hell! Explode for me!" Jia Lan said ferociously.


    Under his word of command, the three great fiendgods cast spells at the same time.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    A series of exploding sounds came from inside the black ball.


    This sound was unusually dull, making people feel extremely uncomfortable when it transmitted out. It was as if their chest was struck by a sledgehammer.


    That black ball, under the impact of the energy internally, actually kept bulging non-stop, then returning to its original shape.


    It could be seen how great the energy undulations inside the black ball were!


    "It''s over now! These fiendgods are too powerful! Their methods are simply inconceivable! Could the Heaven Surmounting Divine King have ��"


    "These fiends that call themselves fiendgods are likely Deity Realm powerhouses in the past! It''s still hard for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King to beat four hands with two fists!"


    "Our greatest reliance is the Heaven Surmounting Divine King. If anything happens to him, we''ll all have to die here today!"


    ...


    Sensing the terrifying undulation coming out of the black ball, the human martial artists were all ashen pale, revealing looks of despair once more.


    Such horrifying energy detonating inside such a small space, even the fiendgods themselves would probably be blasted to flying ash too, right?


    "Hahaha, die! What Son of Heaven''s Mandate? Don''t you still have to die in this seat''s hands? Explode, explode, explode! Blast him to death for this seat!" Jia Di''s face was also incomparably excited.


    He was face-slapped by Ye Yuan just now and likewise hated Ye Yuan immensely.


    Now, even though it was borrowing two other people''s strength, he killed Ye Yuan in the end. This made him feel incomparably liberated.


    The explosions inside the black ball lasted for a full hundred breaths of time!


    No matter what kind of powerhouse was inside, such a powerful Starburst, it could also turn them to dust.


    Of course, this was still primarily because the three people''s fiendish energy was already unable to continue.


    In order to exterminate Ye Yuan, they virtually spared no effort.


    To be able to exhaust three great fiendgods'' fiendish energy completely, it could be seen how terrifying the explosions inside the black ball were.


    The three great fiendgods stopped casting the spell, each and every one of them was pale, turning white as a sheet, gasping heavily for air. They actually felt a sense of enervation.


    Gradually, the black ball finally dissipated.


    The scenery inside was also displayed before everyone''s eyes. The human powerhouses did not even dare to look over at this side.


    They did not wish to have a blow dealt by the result of despair!


    "Quick! Quickly look!" Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise.


    The scene before their eyes astounded everyone.


    There were even quite a few fiend race and human martial artists who stopped fighting, looking over in that direction in disbelief, each and everyone transfixed like wooden chickens.


    The three great fiendgods'' eyeballs nearly popped out!


    Jia Lan felt that this world was too preposterous!


    Jia Di felt like something must be wrong with his eyes!


    Ye Yuan actually did not even lose a hair!


    He stood there perfectly well and never even moved before!


    "What kind of joke is this?! The Starburst Grand Art is a Divine Dao martial technique. Back then, Lord Fiendgod killed god knows how many human Deity Realm powerhouses with this move! This Ye Yuan is actually completely fine!"


    A fiend race powerhouse was motionless as a wooden chicken, staring at this scene in disbelief.


    His opponent, a human powerhouse, saw him in a daze and quietly accumulated power, and abruptly slashed a blade over!


    Blade landing, the person dead!


    A cloud of black gas flew out of the fleshy body and cried out weirdly, "You �� You''re despicable!"


    The human powerhouse laughed and said, "Haha, who asked you to be in a daze? What Lord Fiendgod? I think it''s better to change it to Lord Fiendchicken! The few of them aren''t even fit to carry shoes for our Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"


    "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You �� How can you possibly be completely fine?" Jia Lan''s expression turned deathly pale as he said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan shot him a mocking glance and said coolly, "Is this the strength of you fiendgods? Seems like �� it''s nothing more than this!"

 1217 Mystic Gate Coming into Being!

    Ye Yuan being safe and sound made the human martial artists feel greatly encouraged.


    This was simply something that one did not dare to imagine. Such a horrifying attack and Ye Yuan''s body actually did not even have a scratch!


    "You �� How in the world did you do it? The three of us casting the Starburst Grand Art, even if your fleshly body reached peak Tier 9, it can also blast you into minced meat! You �� You''re actually completely fine!" Jia Lan said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course not. In order to withstand your lousy attack, I did indeed expend quite a bit of essence energy and physical strength! Now, I''m incredibly weak."


    Everyone focused their eyes and looked. Sure enough, they discovered that Ye Yuan''s essence energy was somewhat chaotic.


    It was just that the impact of the scene of him being perfectly unscathed was too great. Hence, it made everyone overlook this fact.


    But so what?


    Forcefully withstanding such an attack from three great fiendgods by himself and actually did not even lose a strand of hair.


    Such means was simply unthinkable!


    The expression on Jia Lan''s face was fascinating to the extreme. Ye Yuan''s words were seriously damaging.


    "Impossible! The three of us casting the Starburst Grand Art together, absolutely no one under Deity Realm can block it!" Jia Di felt that this scene before his eyes was too unreal.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Looks like you all seem to be very interested. Let you all take a look then."


    Done talking, a layer of earth-yellow light halo surfaced on Ye Yuan''s body.


    Jia Lan''s expression changed, and he cried out in shock, "Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!"


    Without waiting for him to have his fill of shock yet, sword intent suddenly surged on Ye Yuan''s body!


    Domain of Sword!


    It was just that this time, Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword was different from in the past.


    His Domain of Sword was a full hundred feet wide!


    His sword intent broke through!


    However, Jia Lan''s astonishment had yet to ease up when Ye Yuan''s Domain of Sword suddenly withdrew, condensing to just an area of 10 feet!


    Jia Lan''s eyeballs almost popped out as he exclaimed in shock, "Condensing sword intent! Is �� Is this boy really a Dao Profound martial artist?"


    Jia Lan felt that his world view was almost crumbling!


    How could a Dao Profound Realm martial artist possibly comprehend Divine Dao laws so casually?


    Condensing sword intent was not some incredible Divine Dao law. It was just a flexibility exercise for sword domains.


    But even so, it was also not what a Dao Profound Realm martial artist could casually comprehend.


    Grasping this divine ability, it signified that Ye Yuan''s control over sword intent reached a new level!


    Concentrating a 100-foot-area sword intent to a circumference of 10 feet could make this region of sword intent become even more solid!


    Regardless of whether it was defensive power or offensive power, it would all increase greatly!


    Ye Yuan''s Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art had already cultivated to the ninth level too.


    Even though it did not reach as freakish as Divine Dao laws, the defensive power was also extremely shocking!


    With Ye Yuan''s current defensive power, even if Ye Yuan stood there, peak Void Mystic powerhouses could not breach his defenses either!


    These two superimposing together, the defensive power could simply be rated as perverse!


    Hence, even though the three great fiendgods used their utmost strength, they were still unable to break through Ye Yuan''s defenses!


    Of course, although this kind of defense was powerful, Ye Yuan''s consumption was very large too.


    Ye Yuan''s current state was very poor as well. Consumptions of essence energy and physical strength were very huge.


    Especially essence energy!


    The majority of the impact was withstood by his Domain of Sword.


    When the power really transmitted to Ye Yuan''s fleshy body, it was only a very small portion.


    But his current imposing momentum thoroughly overshadowed the three great fiendgods!


    Jia Lan''s expression changed, and he yelled, "Withdraw!"


    Finished talking, Jia Lan was the first to turn into an arc of flowing light, flying over towards the horizon.


    How could the other few great fiendgods dare to stay? They similarly abandoned their opponents and fled at a splitting pace.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help sneering coldly and said, "Since you came, how can you not leave behind a bit of a memento?"


    The six great fiendgods fled swiftly. But one of them was evidently much slower in speed.


    It was Jia Di!


    He was struck by Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm previously and suffered some injuries in the first place.


    Coupled with casting the Starburst Grand Art, exhausting his fiendish energy completely, his present state was the worst among the six great fiendgods.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, and his figure immediately vanished from where he was!


    Art of greater teleportation!


    The next instant, Ye Yuan already appeared in the place a thousand feet away from Jia Di!


    "Roar!"


    Voice of the Dragon God!


    Jia Di''s figure was akin to being struck by lightning, forcefully being affixed in the air!


    Bang!


    Jia Di''s physical body was shocked into meat paste in virtually a blink of an eye!


    That extremely hard to tangle with physical body did not have the slightest chance to escape under the Voice of the Dragon God!


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    A miserable cry came over. Jia Di only persevered for a breath of time and was shocked until his soul dissipated!


    This Jia Di''s fiendish energy was exhausted completely to begin with and was incomparably frail. How could he withstand the impact of the Voice of the Dragon God?


    One roar and the fiendgod was dead!


    Even though that consumption previously was rather huge, just one breath of time, he could still barely manage to support it.


    The current Ye Yuan stood in the air, akin to a battle-god descending upon the world, scaring the other five great fiendgods until they were overwhelmed by terror!


    How could they still dare to remain? Each and every one urged fiendish energy to the limits and fled without even turning their heads back.


    Once the fiendgods left, those fiends and fiend slaves became even more overwhelmed.


    The human powerhouses'' morale soared, and they directly pounced over.


    The fiend race fought while beating a retreat, returning in great defeat!


    "Hahaha, we won!"


    "Long live the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is mighty!"


    This battle was a complete victory. By slaying a fiendgod, Ye Yuan was already viewed by them as a god-like existence.


    The human martial artists were all incomparably excited. Looking at the Ye Yuan in the sky, their faces were full of worship.


    From being besieged on all sides to gaining a complete victory, the Ethereal Sect''s battle was fought to one''s heart''s content.


    This kind of refreshing feeling practically made every pore of theirs open up and relax!


    But the faces of Xu Guangyin and the four great families'' powerhouses were not too good.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King was clearly targeting the fiend race. But they actually refused to help the Ethereal Sect previously.


    If the Heaven Surmounting Divine King squared the accounts after the harvest, they would find themselves in serious trouble!


    After a bout of celebration, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said, "The fiend race''s might, I believe that you all have already felt it profoundly!"


    Everyone all secretly nodded their heads. After the excitement, each and every one of them also had lingering fear in their hearts when they recalled the fiend race''s might.


    Although this battle was won, it was a Pyrrhic victory too!


    Putting aside the fiend race martial artists, just those fiend slaves, their strengths were already much stronger compared to them before.


    While the fiend race martial artists'' strengths were even more terrifyingly powerful.


    In the same realm, fighting one-on-two was no problem at all!


    Furthermore, they also discovered that the fiend race was very difficult to be killed.


    Such an opponent seriously made people despair.


    Today, if not for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King battling the three great fiendgods, forget about the Ethereal Sect, even the four great families would probably be utterly exterminated too!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone and spoke up again. He said, "The human race has already reached the point of life and death! Sectarian bias will only hasten our destruction! Starting from today, my Mystic Gate will come into being and resist the fiend race! My Mystic Gate welcomes any human martial artist in the Divine Realm to join. When the fiend race is quelled and wiped out, the Mystic Gate will immediately disband!"

 1218 Heading for Godsfall Mountain Range!

    Mountains and rivers shattered, sects collapsed; how many living creatures turned to ashes?


    When all the human martial artists were at feeling the most hesitant and lost, the appearance of the Mystic Gate was like raising up a flag banner, letting people find the way.


    The fiend race wreaked havoc. The human territories virtually had no place for them to shelter themselves already.


    The fiend race was too powerful!


    Putting aside their formidable strength, they could even turn human martial artists into fiend slaves. The more they fought, the more there were, just like a plague.


    "Did you guys hear? The Heaven Surmounting Divine King formed an organization called Mystic Gate, which specializes in dealing with the fiend race!"


    "I''m going to seek refuge with the Mystic Gate right now! The Holy City, that bunch of guys, is simply trash! They normally make use of the Alchemist Association and accumulate wealth greedily without restraint. Now that the human race is in danger, they don''t even let out a fart. What a disappointment!"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is the hero in troubled times! I heard that the Ethereal Sect battle, he resisted three great fiendgods by himself. Not only was he completely unscathed, he even slew a fiendgod. Truly too powerful!"


    "Fiendgods are former Deity Realm powerhouses. I heard that they were totally unkillable! Even the Divine Dao Era''s major powers could only suppress them. But the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually cut down a fiendgod! His strength is simply unimaginable!"


    With the Ethereal Sect battle, Ye Yuan''s reputation spread among the human race powerhouses very quickly.


    Following the fiend calamity''s eruption, they already gradually realized that this was a race extermination crisis!


    The fiend race''s aggressiveness was too strong, virtually unable to eradicate them totally.


    After all, people who were able to be like Ye Yuan, directly killing the fiend race, were not many.


    For some time, countless human powerhouses flocked towards the Demon Region one after another.


    At this time, inside the dragon clan, many powerhouses were gathered together.


    "Your Excellency, the Four Symbols Family Clans already each hewed out some areas to use to help settle down the human race martial artists. However, some martial artists are not that compliant with the rules. Incidents of creating a disturbance happen time and again ��"


    The one currently reporting to Ye Yuan about the settlement situation of the human martial artists was precisely the Cao Yunzhi, who had a hand cut off by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that this Cao Yunzhi was a skilled manager.


    He arranged an elder position for Cao Yunzhi. His status in the Mystic Gate was second only to the various major mystic lords.


    This arrangement made Cao Yunzhi extremely excited.


    Cao Yunzhi, this person, had a great desire for fame and wealth. Ye Yuan gave him a lot of authority as well. This made him extremely satisfied, settling down all sorts of bad characters every day for all that he was worth.


    Of course, settling down was just the first step. More importantly was still management.


    The Divine Realm''s martial artists numbered more than billions. Even though the ones that flooded in were just a very small portion of it, the number was also extremely massive.


    Among them, the majority of the people were all itinerant cultivators and were even stubborn and unruly.


    How to make these people wait obediently was a major academic question in itself.


    Cao Yunzhi racked his brains every day, running back and forth between these settlement locations, but also enjoyed it without feeling tired.


    Hearing Cao Yunzhi''s report, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Use severe punishment in troubled times, don''t need to be courteous with them! Those who cause trouble must be severely punished! One person causes trouble, punish one person. One family clan cause trouble, expel the family clan out of the Demon Region! About this, you don''t need me to teach you, right? Rather, how''s the completion of the army''s recruitment going?"


    Cao Yunzhi revealed a troubled look and said, "Replying Your Excellency, right now, according to Your Excellency''s method of drawing one in every ten, we''ve already recruited the first batch of our army. Right now, these people are already thrown into training. Before long, they will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, pretty well done! With the war starting, there''s also not much time to train anymore. My requirement for them isn''t high either, as long as they can defend the Demon Region, it''s enough! This human-fiend war ultimately still has to fall on the two great heavenly fiendgods. If they don''t die, the war will never be able to end."


    The martial artist world''s wars were forever that pinnacle great battle.


    The rest were merely fish in the moat caught in the crossfire.


    Only the victor between Kanuo and Ye Yuan could win the final victory of this war.


    "Haha, Big Brother, you fought three great fiendgods alone. This battle was truly uplifting! At present, the White Tiger Clan has already merged into one with the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Clan and became one family. Our Demon Region has already banded together into one rope! As long as you, Big Brother, have any instructions, my White Tiger Clan will forge ahead unflinchingly even if we have to go through fire and water!"


    These few days that Ye Yuan was not around, White Light already grew to become a true powerhouse!


    He practically used his strength alone and united the White Tiger Clan.


    The present White Light''s strength was already comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings. His strength was very terrifying.


    "Ye Yuan, if the Heaven''s Secret Tower redo the rankings now, you''d probably already be the well-deserved number one divine king! Even Zhuge Qingxuan likely can''t match up to you as well!" Teng Yun said with a laugh.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s freakish defensive power on that day, Teng Yun was already utterly convinced.


    That kind of attack, he touched his heart and was certain that he absolutely could not withstand it either.


    And if letting him unleash an attack, although his Nine Sun Burning Heaven was powerful, it did not reach the three great fiendgods'' level either.


    If one could not breach Ye Yuan''s defenses, everything was in vain.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Zhuge Qingxuan is merely a clown jumping around. This young master has never placed him in my sights. What I''m truly worried about is still Kanuo and Yue Ji! Brother Teng, with that battle that day, the fiend race should restrain themselves a little now. Tomorrow, I plan on setting off for the Godfalls Mountain Range. The matters of the Mystic Gate will be entrusted to you!"


    "This �� Are you really going?" Teng Yun could not help choking up when he heard that. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually setting off so soon.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Kanuo muffling the war drums and lowering the banners, he must be preparing for his final breakthrough. Once he fully recovers to strength rivaling Origin Deity Realm, none of us will be his match! The present Divine Realm doesn''t have a staggering major power like Senior Absolute Heaven anymore. Hence, ordinary methods cannot possibly salvage the human race''s losing trend at all! Cultivating by following standard routine is just sitting and waiting for death!"


    Teng Yun also heaved a sigh when he heard and said, "The Godsfall Mountain Range is too perilous. That Kunwu Divine Wood is even harder to deal with. This trip of yours, you need to take good care of yourself! You''re the human race''s only hope. Even if it''s for the human race, nothing must happen to you too!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Isn''t it said that I''m the son of heaven''s mandate? How can I die so easily? Brother Teng rest assured. Maybe when I return, I''ll become the Divine Realm''s first Deity Realm powerhouse in 100 thousand years!"


    Ye Yuan was laughing, but the rest could not laugh.


    It was indeed very difficult for them to face the fiend race''s attack.


    But the danger that Ye Yuan was facing was a hundred times greater than theirs!


    The Divine Realm''s powerhouses, even if it was Heaven Stabilizing and Spirit Bristle, this kind of powerhouses, did not dare to venture too deep into the Godsfall Mountain Range either.


    But Ye Yuan had to enter into the depths of the Godsfall Mountain Range in order to search for the Kunwu Divine Wood this time.


    It was said that that place, even if Deity Realm powerhouses entered, it was almost certain death too.


    This departure, good or ill luck was hard to predict!


    Furthermore, even if he really found the Kunwu Divine Wood, could he really break through to the Deity Realm?


    With Heavenly Dao being missing presently, who dared to utter such big talk?


    "I''ll accompany you and go together, Big Brother!" White Light said without any hesitation.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Haha, you''re my good brother!"

 1219 Fake Goods

    The Godsfall Mountain Range was vast, beyond hundreds of millions of miles.


    It was at the extreme southern land of the Divine Realm. Nobody knew where its end lay.


    Because no one could fly over the Godfalls Mountain Range!


    Deity Realm powerhouses could not as well!


    According to the legends of the Divine Realm, it was unknown how many Deity Realm powerhouses had fallen before in the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    There had once been a Deity Realm powerhouse who attempted to forcefully fly through. But the further he flew, the more unstable the space was.


    A moment of carelessness and it was hard for Deity Realm powerhouses to survive too.


    But it seemed like in the Divine Dao Era, even if those Deity Realm powerhouses knew that this place was incomparably dangerous, they still swarmed over to this place like a flock of ducks.


    Even if they were buried here, they would not flinch either.


    Why they did this had long already become a mystery.


    In the course of time, this place was termed Godsfall Mountain Range.


    But to the present Divine Realm''s powerhouses, the Godsfall Mountain Range was a treasure land.


    Although this place was dangerous, it also contained countless opportunities.


    In the stream of people, four figures were moving slowly.


    These four people were precisely the Ye Yuan, White Light, Lu-er, as well as Yue Mengli, who came from afar.


    Coming to the Godsfall Mountain Range this time, Ye Yuan''s party made considerable changes to their appearances and also took Essence Sealing Pills, suppressing their realms to the boundary of Seventh to Eighth Level Dao Profound.


    There was no guarantee that there would not be fiend race spies at the Godsfall Mountain Range. If they became aware of it, it would be no small danger to them.


    Dealing with three fiendgods, Ye Yuan could still cope with it.


    But if five attacked together, the result would be hard to say.


    "Big Brother, why are there so many people at this Godsfall Mountain Range''s entrance?" White Light wondered.


    "The fiend calamity erupted. Apart from the Mystic Gate, probably only the Godsfall Mountain Range is the safest. But those who dare to come here more or less have some strength too," Ye Yuan said.


    "Coming to the Godsfall Mountain Range to take refuge, are these people crazy? Before waiting for the fiend calamity to pass, they would probably all have to die here!" White Light said.


    "Them coming here is nothing more than seizing that feeble ray of hope, wanting to obtain a supreme inheritance here and possess the strength to protect themselves." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh, the fiend calamity erupting, all of them are thinking of escaping. They would rather face near-certain death here to seek out lucky chances than be willing to face the fiend race head-on, truly lamentable! Even if these people obtained supreme inheritances, would they really be like you and Senior Fang Tian, fighting for the human race?" White Light said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan also heaved a sigh and said, "Leave everything up to fate! Perhaps among these people, there would really be somebody who can obtain a heaven-defying legacy and break through the shackles? Heaven will always leave a door open. If I can''t do it, I also hope that others can come forward."


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan also had no assurance in his heart whether he could succeed or not.


    Putting aside whether or not he could find the Kunwu Divine Wood, even if he really found it, he was not confident enough that the Dao Defying Pill was truly able to traverse while defying Dao. Ye Yuan did not have any assurance at all.


    "Quick! Quickly go over and take a look. I heard that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King also came to the Godsfall Mountain Range!"


    "What? Heaven Surmounting Divine King! He''s a great hero of the human race. Isn''t he currently resisting the fiend race at the Demon Region right now? How could he appear here?"


    "I heard that he wanted to come here to look for an opportunity to breakthrough and fight against the fiend race!"


    "Then what are we still waiting for? Hurry and go take a look!"


    The four people were currently walking through the mountain path when they suddenly heard a group of people currently discussing animatedly.


    Hearing these remarks, the other three people all used strange expressions to look at Ye Yuan.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King really came. But looking at those few people''s attitudes, they were clearly not here for Ye Yuan.


    Could it be that there was a second Heaven Surmounting Divine King?


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Looking at me for what? Wouldn''t we know if we go over a take a look?"


    White Light laughed and said, "Haha, of course, we have to go and take a look! I want to see just what kind of character this Heaven Surmounting Divine King is!"


    At this time, a Seventh Level Dao Profound martial artist coincidentally walked past them. Hearing White Light''s burst of laughter, he could not help saying puzzledly, "You all never even heard of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King? Truly too out of touch with the outside world and ignorant of the state of affairs! Right now, the fiend race is wreaking havoc, and the six great fiendgod powerhouses are glaring like ravening tigers! That day, the Ethereal Sect battle, the Ethereal Sect originally already lost all hope, but the Heaven Surmounting Divine King suddenly descended from the sky. A dragon roar reverberated throughout heaven and earth, directly shocking one of the six great fiendgods to death, while the other five were seriously injured and fled ��"


    This martial artist spoke eloquently and unceasingly, narrating Ye Yuan''s valiant achievements, making Ye Yuan click his tongue in wonder too.


    From this guy''s mouth, he was simply deified already.


    Yue Mengli and Lu-er both covered their mouths and laughed, laughing until Ye Yuan''s face turned somewhat red.


    But that person was overflowing with enthusiasm, as he explained at one side. He was also embarrassed to chase the person away and could only thicken his face and resign himself to it.


    Not far ahead was a piece of empty lot. At this time, a large group of people already crowded around on the empty space.


    In the middle, a white-clothed youth had an imposing aura, valiant and heroic in bearing, with somewhat the air of an expert.


    A man and a woman even stood beside the youth. The male was equally young, and the woman was also quite attractive.


    "Lord Ye Yuan, can you tell us about the situation of the Ethereal Sect battle? We''ve already admired your demeanor for a long time!" A martial artist said with a captivated look.


    That white-clothed youth smiled faintly and said, "Of course! This young master knows that there are rumors in the outside world right now. Actually, those six great fiendgods were merely so-so! Back then, this young master''s Heaven Shattering Dragon Roar, one move, shocked them until they wet their pants in terror ��"


    The white-clothed youth was very eloquent, describing the Ethereal Sect battle with a lively description, as if he really experienced it personally.


    The crowd on the sidelines had looks of admiration when they heard. A series of praises and gasps lingered on incessantly.


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is truly our human race''s hero!"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is mighty!"


    "Oh, right, Lord Ye Yuan, since those fiendgods were so frail to not even be able to withstand a single blow, why didn''t you eradicate them straight away, and still come to this Godsfall Mountain Range to train?" someone suddenly asked.


    Fake Ye Yuan smiled and said coolly, "What do you guys know? The fiend race''s strongest isn''t just the fiendgods! They are merely small fries! The powerhouse behind them is this fiend calamity''s true instigator! This young master''s strength is still some distance away from him. Hence, that''s why I came to the Godsfall Mountain Range to train, to find an opportunity to break through, before I can lead the human race to slaughter back!"


    When Ye Yuan four people heard his words, they could not help clicking their tongues in wonder too.


    There were even stronger existences behind the fiendgods. However, this point, barely anyone knew about this in the Divine Realm.


    This fake Ye Yuan actually knew about such things!


    Ye Yuan was currently watching avidly, when he suddenly noticed that Lu-er who was by the side was rather sullen, and could not help asking curiously, "What''s wrong, Lu-er? Who bullied you?"


    Lu-er pursed her lips and said with an unhappy look, "Young Master, you look at that one beside him, that must be White Light. Also, that woman, it must be Elder Sister Li-er!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and did not quite understand it. Rather, it was Li-er who covered her mouth and laughed. Moving beside Ye Yuan''s ear, she said softly, "Younger Sister Lu-er is angry. Since they were already impersonating, why was it missing her!"


    Only when Ye Yuan heard it did he come to a sudden realization. He could not help laughing as he said, "Huhu, in the future, no matter where I go, I''ll bring along my Lu-er. This way, they will know that there''s a beautiful and lovely Lu-er beside Young Master, alright?"


    Lu-er was overjoyed the moment she heard and said, "You were the one who said it, Young Master!"


    Right at this time, a middle-aged man suddenly dashed out. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he said with a cold sneer, "Heh, you say that you''re the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, means you''re the Heaven Surmounting Divine King? What kind of strength does the Heaven Surmounting Divine King possess? Why would he mingle together with us, these people? In my view, you''re a fake Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"

 1220 Accumulating Wealth via Dishonest Means

    This middle-aged man''s actions made everyone jump in fright.


    Up until now, there were people who doubted fake Ye Yuan''s identity before. But no one really dared to come forward to provoke.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s current prestige was unparalleled.


    Such provocation, a single misstep would incur a fatal disaster for oneself.


    Everyone all looked toward this ''Ye Yuan,'' wanting to see how he would respond.


    Who knew that ''Ye Yuan'' smiled faintly and said, "Everybody knows that this young master''s strongest martial technique is the Heaven Shattering Dragon Roar. But, once this move is unleashed, probably no one on the scene can survive. This brother, if you don''t believe this young master''s identity, just feel free to unleash a move at this young master. This young master absolutely won''t retaliate."


    No matter what, this calm composure made quite a few people accept his identity already.


    This was the demeanor that an expert should have.


    "Heh, bragging got to have a limit too! Not fighting back, I want to see how much capability you have."


    The middle-aged martial artist gave a cold laugh. A saber suddenly slashed out, its impetus exceedingly shocking.


    Seeing this move, everyone''s expressions immediately changed greatly.


    If this blade''s power really cleaved down, even a Void Mystic powerhouse would be split into two with one blow as well!


    However, a scene that made people even more astonished occurred.


    When this blade reached 20 feet away from his body, it was no longer able to advance an inch further.


    "S-So strong!"


    There was a series of exclamations, all being stunned by this scene.


    But when White Light saw this scene, he smirked and said disdainfully, "Throwing mist over people''s eyes, shameless!"


    The real Ye Yuan smiled and said, "People who understanding Divine Dao laws in the Divine Realm are too few. Even Void Mystic Realm powerhouses don''t know much either. This person''s strength is already pretty good. It''s just that this acting is truly a bit too fake."


    Ye Yuan''s perception was extremely acute.


    Boom!


    ''Ye Yuan'' entire body shook, immediately sending that middle-aged man flying.


    That middle-aged man already had a look of admiration at this time. Bowing towards ''Ye Yuan'' in a salute, he said, "Many thanks, Heaven Surmounting Divine King, for showing mercy! This lowly one has eyes but can''t see, and affronted Your Excellency. I hope that Your Excellency can pardon the offense. Legends say that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s power of domain is unparalleled under the heavens and can forcefully withstand the attacks of a fiendgod without a scratch! With Your Excellency''s strength, if you''re not the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, who else dares to admit it under the heavens?"


    The middle-aged man''s words utterly dispelled everyone''s suspicions.


    This ''Ye Yuan'' was virtually identical to the one in the rumors!


    Not only was his strength very terrifying, he even had his close brother, White Light, and his soulmate, by his side.


    ''Ye Yuan'' smiled faintly and said, "No worries. This young master''s tolerance isn''t that small yet. This young master was originally cultivating in the Godsfall Mountain Range. I heard that there are quite a few of my human race martial artists entering the Godsfall Mountain Range, that''s why I specially came out of seclusion. At present, my human race is facing a race-extermination crisis. Every martial artist''s life is very precious. This Godsfall Mountain Range is very dangerous, this young master also faces a narrow chance of survival inside. But, this period of time, this young master has pretty much figured out the terrain and area within the forbidden area, and drew it into a map, marking out the dangerous places inside."


    The moment ''Ye Yuan'' said this, a look of elation immediately appeared on the group of martial artists'' faces.


    This Godsfall Mountain Range was abnormally dangerous. If not for having no choice, they really would not dare come here to seek out opportunities.


    Those who dared to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range had to at least be Divine King Realm powerhouses too.


    Otherwise, they would not even know how they died.


    If there was a Godsfall Mountain Range map, then it would be completely different.


    At least, it could greatly increase their chances of survival.


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is indeed well-deserving of being our human race''s leader! Such a valuable thing, and he''s actually willing to take it out to share with everybody too."


    "I harbored the resolve to win or die trying coming to the Godsfall Mountain Range this time. The Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s map is absolutely able to increase the chances for me!"


    "There''s actually still such a good thing! The Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s bearing is truly incomparable!"


    ...


    The group of people guessed what ''Ye Yuan'' was going to do, and they all looked incomparably excited.


    This sort of good thing, nobody would refuse it either.


    Who knew that ''Ye Yuan'' heaved a sigh and said, "Usually, this map would be given for free to everyone; there''s no harm either. It''s just that �� everyone also knows that my Mystic Gate is defending alone, and the war affair is critical, all kinds of resources are in short supply. Among these, there''s especially a shortage of spirit medicines! You all came to this Godsfall Mountain Range to seek a slim chance of survival. It''s likewise making a contribution to the human race. I feel relieved. It''s just that the other martial artists are killing the enemy at the front and requires everyone''s support even more. I hope that everyone can loosen your purse strings liberally and support my human race''s warriors! Of course, this young master won''t insist on you all taking out how much, just depends on everyone''s thoughts. How''s that?"


    With this said, a hint of a smile involuntarily surfaced on the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, immediately understanding this fake Ye Yuan''s objective.


    Going this one big circle, it was merely to borrow his name to earn money dishonestly.


    But, this guy''s words were said extremely beautifully, making people all unable to refrain from gasping in admiration.


    He said that he would not force, but there were no less than four to five hundred martial artists present. How could there really be people who had the nerve to take worthless things to serve as a stopgap.


    After all, he was standing on the grounds of the human race''s righteous cause.


    The moment his voice faded, the middle-aged martial artist who previously questioned him was immediately the first one to step forward and respond.


    "Your Excellency exhausted your energy and racked your brains for my human race. How can we be stingy? Moreover, this map is too important to use. It can even be said to be a life-saving object! I''m willing to take out three stalks of Tier 9 spirit medicines as well as 5000 high-grade heavenly essence crystals to exchange for a copy of the map!" said the middle-aged martial artist.


    With him saying so, everyone''s expression changed.


    This middle-aged martial artist set the price straight away the moment he spoke up.


    If the things that they took out were too shabby, wouldn''t they be despised to death by others?


    Finished talking, the middle-aged martial artist was ambiguous as well, directly handing three stalks of Tier 9 spirit medicines and 5000 high-grade heavenly essence crystals to ''White Light''s hands, and swapped for a map.


    But when the others saw the situation, they were still somewhat hesitant.


    It was just that the allure of the map was huge for them. All of them were not willing to leave.


    That middle-aged martial artist gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, "You guys are really too stingy to pull out even a hair! Our compatriots are killing the enemy in front. No idea how many died and are in urgent need of our resources to go save lives. But you guys are all actually so miserly. Truly disappointing to the extreme!"


    With this, how could those people still keep their dignity, all loosening their purse strings generously one after another.


    "Give me a map! I''ll offer four stalks of Tier 9 spirit medicine!"


    "Give me a copy too! I don''t have Tier 9 spirit medicines on me, I''ll use top-grade heavenly essence crystals to pay it off then!"


    ...


    Normally, they definitely would not be like this.


    But under the crisis of race extermination, they more or less still had to have some face. Coupled with the allure of the map, they could only toughen their scalps and go for it one after another.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said faintly, "Let''s go."


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of looking into it, White Light and the rest also followed Ye Yuan and left.


    Who knew that the fake Ye Yuan actually saw their group of people about to leave, and could not help laughing coldly as he said, "Those few �� truly have such thick skin! Our warriors are splashing the battlefields with blood, but you''re not sparing a single cent, heh heh ��"

 1222 Brutal Beating

    "Is this punk crazy?"


    "Standing there and letting the Heaven Surmounting Divine King hit you, this is truly tired of living."


    "Even if the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King is here, he also wouldn''t dare say such arrogant words!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words aroused a wave of hubbub.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King Ye Yuan had an awe-inspiring reputation presently. In the entire Divine Realm, someone who dared to say so probably could not be found.


    Yet, they ran into one!


    People who say these words, there was only one kind of possibility, that was their heads were missing a screw!


    Don''t talk about whatever people with strength dared to say such words, because in the entire Divine Realm, one absolutely could not find someone like that.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King would not cut it either!


    But these words had a completely different feeling to the fake Ye Yuan.


    Lu-er''s strength, he already experienced it.


    For Ye Yuan to dare make this boast, could it be that his strength was even stronger than that little girl?


    It was not an impossibility!


    The fake Ye Yuan''s heart raced, but on his face, it was still the air of an expert as he said indifferently, "Huhu, really been very long since anyone dared to provoke this young master like this! Even if that Zhuge Qingxuan came, he wouldn''t dare utter such big talk in front of this young master too!"


    Actually, fake Ye Yuan was already backing out.


    He deliberately talked drivel, but actually, he was already long racking his head on a plan to get away.


    Either way, those spirit medicines and essence crystals were already in his possession. If not running at this time, wait until when?


    However, Ye Yuan nonchalantly said another sentence, "Don''t blame this young master for not giving you a chance, this young master won''t utilize any essence energy! If it still won''t do, then the three of you attack together also works!"


    "..."


    Everyone collapsed until they were speechless!


    This guy was absolutely a lunatic!


    Not using essence energy, there was only relying on the power of the fleshy body to defend.


    Even a Tier 9 grand completion fleshy body could not withstand the all-out attack of a Void Mystic powerhouse too!


    Fake Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, but his thoughts stirred. It was just that he still concealed it on the surface and said coolly, "Heh heh, this young master is still the Heaven Surmounting Divine King in the end. How can I allow you to belittle me like so! Since you''re courting death, then this young master will fulfill your wish!"


    What he was afraid of was that Ye Yuan''s power of domain was very strong. But Ye Yuan not utilizing essence energy, he had full assurance to kill the other party!


    This brat was a rich person at one glance, the good stuff on him must be considerable.


    This sum was a big profit!


    "Just feel free and come! See this? As long as you kill me, this storage ring is yours," Ye Yuan held a storage ring in his hand and said coolly.


    How could the fake Ye Yuan still hesitate? A long sword suddenly attacked!


    This sword was incomparably shocking. Fake Ye Yuan did not hold back in the slightest, his figure charging towards Ye Yuan like lightning.


    "This young man''s head is definitely damaged! He''s actually really not using essence energy!"


    "Dead! Dead for sure! There must be many good stuff inside that storage ring, what a shame!"


    "Heh, this idiot can also be considered to have done a good thing before dying, donating the spirit medicines on him to the warriors at the front."


    "Looks like Lord Ye Yuan''s genuinely enraged too. This blow is too terrifying. That brat is dead �� for �� sure."


    Clank!


    That person was currently speaking when a crisp colliding sound was heard.


    A layer of earth-yellow light halo surfaced on Ye Yuan''s body. Fake Ye Yuan abruptly stopped when his sword struck onto the earth-yellow light halo!


    With a slash, the fake Ye Yuan mustered up essence energy fully, resulting in the remaining momentum not reducing, pressing until this transcendent-grade holy artifact bent.


    Fake Ye Yuan''s eyes became wide-circles, staring at this scene before his eyes in disbelief.


    Because Ye Yuan really did not use essence energy!


    This earth-yellow light halo was totally an extremely profound body-refinement art!


    The other party blocked his blow with purely the power of the fleshy body.


    How could he know the terror of the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art, this cultivation method?


    Back then, Skydistant was just Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, but the Origin Deity Realm Zuo Zong was actually unable to kill him and could only suppress him.


    It could be seen from this how terrifying this cultivation method was when cultivated to the limits!


    If not for so, how could Ye Yuan dare forcefully resist three great fiendgods'' besiegement head-on?


    His reliance was not just the Domain of Sword!


    Clank!


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded stares, this transcendent-grade holy artifact directly snapped into two!


    Ye Yuan''s body shook slightly, sending the fake Ye Yuan flying out.


    Deathly silence!


    Just by relying on the power of the fleshy body, he broke a transcendent-grade artifact in half. How terrifying the power did this require?


    For a moment, everyone''s brains were short-circuited.


    "Stop joking around, if the Heaven Surmounting Divine King only had your bit of strength, he''d have long been annihilated by the six great fiendgods who knows how many times over."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said to everyone again, "That middle-aged man is clearly acting out a two-men show. How can this fellow have much power, it''s completely for scaring people. If you don''t believe, you guys go and give it a try yourselves!"


    Everyone was startled and could not help quickly waking up to reality!


    Yeah, if he was really the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, how could he possibly be unable to break through such a youngster''s defense?


    This guy must be a fake!


    "Motherf*cker! To actually dare bluff us! Return my, your father''s, Tier 9 spirit medicines!"


    A curly-bearded burly man finally could not refrain from erupting. Stepping forward, it was one foot, directly kicking the fake Ye Yuan over.


    Fake White Light and Fake Li-er, as well as that middle-aged man, wanted to come forward and help, but their bodies suddenly tensed up, already being locked down by a biting cold killing intent.


    They did not doubt in the slightest that as long as they moved, what awaited them would be a lightning-like blow.


    The curly-bearded burly man kicked the fake Ye Yuan flying without any effort at all. How could he still doubt Ye Yuan''s words?


    This guy was totally a counterfeit!


    But with this, it aroused public wrath, public sentiment stirring into activity.


    For a moment, those martial artists all turned into common townsfolk; they did not use any cultivation method or martial techniques, simply directly pummeling onto fake Ye Yuan''s body.


    "Who ask you to cheat people?! Who ask you to cheat people?!"


    "It''s fine if you cheat people, but to actually even dare to impersonate my, your father''s'' most respected Heaven Surmounting Divine King. Your father will kick you to death!"


    "Return my Tier 9 spirit medicines! Return my heavenly essence crystals!"


    ...


    Fake Ye Yuan was immediately beaten up brutally but did not have any strength to retaliate at all.


    Actually, with his strength, he did not fear these people at all.


    But Ye Yuan''s impact earlier scattered his essence energy, making him unable to muster essence energy for a short while.


    Resulting in him being totally unable to withstand these people''s fury now.


    He would not die, but the pain coming from his body, as well as the sense of humiliation in the depths of his heart, was extremely intense.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s expression changed.


    A strand of divine sense probed over without any scruples, sweeping over the bodies of Ye Yuan and the rest.


    However, this strand of divine sense withdrew very quickly. Clearly, it did not discover anything.


    In the sky, several figures flew past.


    "Merely a few small fries. The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King is a bit too sensitive," said an aged and hoary voice with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s eyesight was extremely good and recognized this old man at a glance. It was precisely Cloudmarsh City''s city lord, Old Man Han!


    "Humph! Ye Yuan that brat is full of cunning tricks, maybe he blended into these people. Better to be a little careful," Zhuge Qingxuan beside Old Man Han said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, not expecting that these two people actually walked together.


    Old Man Han''s strength was unfathomable. Although not ranked among the Ten Great Divine Kings, no one dared to underestimate his strength either.

 1223 Overbearing

    "Kanuo said that Ye Yuan might have entered the Godsfall Mountain Range. But right now, there are so many people at the Godsfall Mountain Range, so where to begin searching?" Zhuge Qingxuan furrowed his brows and said.


    "Huhu, Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, please be calm. Lord Kanuo can pry into heaven''s secrets, so within this Godsfall Mountain Range, there''s bound to be something major happening. In my view, the place that that punk wants to go, it definitely isn''t an ordinary place!" Old Man Han''s gaze looked toward Zhuge Qingxuan heatedly.


    Zhuge Qingxuan frowned and said, "You''re talking about �� god-forbidden region?"


    Inside this Godsfall Mountain Range, it was divided into several regions, which were respectively: safe region, Dao-forbidden region, void-forbidden region, as well as the most terrifying god-forbidden region!


    These regions were fumbled out by martial artists using fresh blood, over countless tens of thousands of years.


    These people here actually already entered the Godsfall Mountain Range, but they were currently in the safe region.


    Of course, the safe region was not absolutely safe as well.


    When approaching the Dao-forbidden region, the danger would increase tremendously too.


    Upon entering the Dao-forbidden region, these people would probably not be as cozy as now.


    The so-called Dao-forbidden region was referring to that Dao Profound Realm martial artists were forbidden to enter inside.


    Even peak Divine King powerhouses, once they went too deep in, it would be a slim chance of survival too.


    The same argument, void-forbidden region was referring to Void Mystic powerhouses.


    Among them, also included the Ten Great Divine Kings, this kind of powerhouses who comprehended Divine Dao laws!


    Zhuge Qingxuan had also penetrated deep into the Godsfall Mountain Range previously. But even for him, the region that he set foot in was also merely the void-forbidden region.


    As for the legendary god-forbidden region, that was a region that even genuine Deity Realm powerhouses did not dare to easily set foot in as well.


    The places where Deity Realm powerhouses perished the most, was the god-forbidden region!


    Zhuge Qingxuan also shuddered with fear when he guessed this result.


    Ye Yuan''s heart was really big!


    "Heh, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King don''t need to have this expression. Ye Yuan that brat is very clever. He definitely guessed that Lord Kanuo is currently recovering to his peak strength. Once accomplished, no one in the Divine Realm can stop him anymore! Want to stop Lord Kanuo, he could only be the first person to break the shackles in these 100 thousand years, and reach Deity Realm! And in the entire Divine Realm, the only place where it''s possible to break through to the Deity Realm, is probably the Godsfall Mountain Range''s god-forbidden region!"


    Old Man Han saw through it clearly, guessing not far off the mark from Ye Yuan''s thoughts.


    At present, this was also the only solution.


    It was just that compared to Kanuo recovering to peak strength, Ye Yuan''s path was clearly ten-thousandfold harder!


    After all, without the permission of Heavenly Dao laws, there was already no way to step into the Deity Realm in this world.


    "Heh, even if he''s really able to enter the god-forbidden region, it''s also impossible to come out alive," Zhuge Qingxuan said with a cold smile.


    "Come out or not, this old man doesn''t know. But this old man knows that we must stop him from entering! Although the chances of becoming a deity don''t even reach one in a million, he''s the son of heaven''s mandate after all. It''s not strange for whatever miracles to happen to him," Old Man Han said.


    "Humph! There''s no way he''ll succeed! This seat will definitely tear him to pieces this time! Otherwise, it''s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression was livid. His hatred toward Ye Yuan billowed to the skies.


    The last time, at the dragon clan, he almost died at Ye Yuan''s hands.


    This was a shame that he had never encountered for thousands of years. Only by killing Ye Yuan could he wash away this shame of his!


    ...


    On this side, fake Ye Yuan was pummeled into a pig''s head by the righteously indignant crowd.


    Fake White Light returned all of the things and compensated a large sum of heavenly essence crystals before everyone let it go at that.


    With this, it was suffering a double loss.


    "Sniff, sniff �� my heavenly essence crystals! Return my heavenly essence crystals �� sniff, sniff ��"


    Fake Ye Yuan cried his heart out.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan they all were long gone already.


    "Big Brother, what �� should we do now? Why not we wait until we enter the Dao-forbidden region, then we find a chance to scam them? With our degree of familiarity towards the Dao-forbidden region, I believe that they definitely can''t beat us!" Fake White Light said.


    Fake Ye Yuan''s wailing cries abruptly ceased. Using a strange gaze and giving him a look, he lowered his voice and said, "Are you a pig? If you want to die, don''t drag me in! This time, for us to be able to live, it''s already very lucky! You actually still want to go and provoke them?!"


    Fake Ye Yuan scolded vigorously and completely did not realize that he was the pig at this moment.


    "B-Big Brother, what''s wrong? Are those few really so formidable?" Fake White Light said blankly.


    Fake Ye Yuan lowered his voice again and said, "En, more than just formidable! I, your father, must have stepped on dog shit when I went out today! F*cking hell, to actually run into the real one!"


    "B-B-B-Big Brother! You''re saying �� saying ��" Fake White Light''s two eyes went wide, and he was even stammering when speaking.


    "Shhh �� Do you want to die?! Good that you know, shout so loud for what? He deliberately disguised himself and suppressed his realm, it''s in order to not let people know. If we give him away, we''ll die without a doubt!" Fake Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped him.


    ...


    After fake Ye Yuan''s little interlude, Ye Yuan''s party marched straight in and entered the Dao-forbidden region.


    Along the way, they naturally ran into some minor dangers too. But with Ye Yuan''s party''s strength, it was naturally a cinch.


    "Big Brother, why are the people in front not walking anymore?" White Light suddenly said.


    Ahead, quite a few martial artists crowded at the foot of the mountain, but not a single one went up the mountain, which unwittingly made Ye Yuan and the rest feel rather peculiar.


    "Come, go over and take a look," Ye Yuan said.


    The few people arrived at the foot of the mountain. Only after a bout of inquiring did they know that quite a number of strange incidents happened halfway up the mountain. There were already over ten people who lost their lives.


    Among them, there were even peak Divine King powerhouses.


    Everyone was afraid and did not advance, that was why they stopped at the foot of the mountain.


    And this mountain ridge seemed to be the only path that led to the depths.


    Ye Yuan was just about to advance when several figures descended from the sky. It was precisely Zhuge Qingxuan and party.


    Zhuge Qingxuan swept a glance around, randomly designated a martial artist, and said with an overbearing air: "You, come over!"


    That martial artist was startled, but did not dare to disobey, and could only step forward.


    "Speak, what''s the deal with this Broken Soul Ridge."


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s words exuded a flavor that brooked no dispute.


    That martial artist naturally did not dare to defy and could only recount the events that happened here.


    That martial artist thought that he was fine when he finished talking. Who knew that Zhuge Qingxuan mused for a moment and said to him, "You, go in! Also, you, you, you �� all go up the mountain for me!"


    He selected over ten people in a row. Those people''s bodies trembled all over, their gazes revealing a look of despair.


    The people that he chose were basically all Divine King Realm powerhouses.


    Clearly, he was preparing to have these people scout the path.


    "Zhuge Qingxuan, don''t you bully people too much! On what basis to make us be scapegoats?" A divine king powerhouse was unwilling and roared angrily.


    Zhuge Qingxuan smiled disdainfully and said, "Based on what? Just based on this seat being the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King!"


    Done talking, he casually pointed his finger. A streak of terrifying force tapped towards that person.


    Boom!


    That person directly exploded into countless chunks.


    "Now, is there still anyone with objections?" Zhuge Qingxuan swept a glance over everyone and said coolly.

 1224 Right Under Your Eyelids and You Cant Even Recognize!

    Zhuge Qingxuan''s overbearingness made everyone silent like cicadas in winter.


    His strength was too powerful. It was on a completely different level from these people.


    Feeling helpless, those dozen over people could only go up the mountain.


    There was still a feeble ray of hope going up the mountain at any rate. But if they went against Zhuge Qingxuan, then it was only a one-way ticket to hell.


    Quite a few martial artists'' gazes that looked towards Zhuge Qingxuan were filled with resentment.


    They did not expect that the human race''s number one person was actually this sort of person who bullies the weak, being arrogant and high-handed and viewed human life like grass.


    For some time, these people dared to feel indignant but did not dare to speak.


    Regarding these people''s gazes, Zhuge Qingxuan directly chose to ignore it.


    He did not care about these people''s thoughts at all. In his eyes, these people were all ant-like existences.


    After those dozen over martial artists left, some people could not endure this kind of atmosphere and left this place one after another.


    But the vast majority of the people still chose to endure silently.


    However vast the world was, there was already no place to shelter them anymore.


    Zhuge Qingxuan getting together with Old Man Han made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    This made him involuntarily heighten his vigilance more.


    The last time, Zhuge Qingxuan left together with Kanuo. It was hard to guarantee that there would be no relationship between these two people.


    The Holy City kept the troops ready but made no movements until now, but did not lock the city with the grand array either. This in itself indicated many problems.


    Looked like Zhuge Qingxuan might have very likely colluded together with the fiend race.


    But Ye Yuan could not figure out why Old Man Han showed up here. Could it be that he also had ties with the fiend race?


    Recalling the incident that happened in the Immemorial Medicine Garden back then, Ye Yuan felt that it really was possible.


    Thinking this through, Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart to no end.


    This Kanuo was truly playing a massive game of chess!


    In a twinkle, an hour passed. According to those dozen over people''s foot strength, they should have long returned.


    But there was no word from anyone!


    At this time, Zhuge Qingxuan stood up once more and randomly selected over ten people again.


    "The few of you, go up the mountain!" Zhuge Qingxuan''s voice did not carry the slightest trace of emotion.


    Every since almost dying under Ye Yuan''s hands the last time, the foul and evil-foreboding air on Zhuge Qingxuan''s body became even heavier.


    These people''s lives, he did not take it to heart at all.


    A look of despair appeared on those dozen over people''s faces. They knew that this departure would likely have little chance of coming out alive.


    And among these people, as luck would have it, there was that fake Ye Yuan''s company of four.


    "Y-Your Excellency! I-I beg you, save this lowly one! I know that �� in this place, only you can save us!" said the fake Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. This guy actually still dared to come and find him.


    "That''s the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King. I can''t help you," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Fake Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and transmitted to Ye Yuan, "Your Excellency, I know that impersonating you, it''s my fault! I''m not begging you to save me, I''m only begging you to save my three siblings! If �� If you don''t agree, I''ll tell the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King your true identity!"


    Ye Yuan slightly revealed an odd look. This guy actually guessed his identity.


    However, he immediately laughed in spite of himself.


    This guy actually even threatened him.


    "Huhu, it''s also not impossible to save them, but you �� have to go in!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Fake Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Rest assured, Your Excellency. As long as you''re willing to save them, Ye Sheng is willing to die!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a deep look. Only now did he know that his real name was called Ye Sheng.


    "I''ll give you all three breaths of time. Still don''t move, bear the consequences yourselves!" That cold voice of Zhuge Qingxuan''s coincidentally sounded out at this time.


    Ye Yuan suddenly got up and said to Zhuge Qingxuan with cupped fists, "Your Excellency, the four of us siblings are willing to substitute the three of them to go up the mountain and scout the path."


    While talking, Ye Yuan pointed at Ye Sheng''s three siblings.


    This action of Ye Yuan''s made Zhuge Qingxuan very surprised.


    This going up the mountain was clearly a dead end. There was actually still someone who took the initiative to volunteer.


    When Ye Sheng heard Ye Yuan''s words, he was immediately wildly elated in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually used this kind of method to save his brothers.


    With Ye Yuan around, his chances of survival would greatly increase.


    Zhuge Qingxuan sized Ye Yuan up, feeling that this boy was somewhat peculiar.


    But no matter how he looked, he could not see through Ye Yuan''s disguise.


    His disguising art was a complementing technique in the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art. It could let people change to a different appearance by altering the entire body''s muscles.


    He imparted this cultivation method to White Light the three of them. The three of them looked rather similar right now, just like brothers and sisters.


    In addition to Ye Yuan''s Essence Sealing Pill, even if he was the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, he absolutely could not see through as well.


    He looked left and right, and also could not see through any flaws. Straight away, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go on, go!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to move when Old Man Han suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Young man, going up the mountain here is nine chances to die and one chance to live. Why did you take the initiative to go up the mountain?"


    Finished talking, Old Man Han''s gaze stared at Ye Yuan heatedly, wanting to see how he would answer.


    But Ye Yuan did not fear in the slightest. Bowing his body and greeting, he said, "The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King is fully-deserving of being the Divine Realm''s number one. This lowly one has always admired greatly. To be able to serve the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King is this lowly one''s honor! Furthermore, this lowly one has no other strong points but a body of tough flesh. If talking about the possibility of survival, this lowly one still has that tiny hint of assurance."


    Disregarding others, Zhuge Qingxuan was a sucker for this!


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, that iceberg-like face of his actually had some additional smugness.


    "Alright, alright, don''t talk rubbish anymore! Go up the mountain!" Zhuge Qingxuan said impatiently.


    Ye Sheng bid farewell with his siblings and made them not enter deep inside, and to wait for him outside. Then, he went up the mountain together with Ye Yuan''s company of four.


    When the few silhouettes disappeared, Ye Sheng gave a deep bow toward Ye Yuan and said, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, for taking action and saving. This lowly one will definitely repay with death even by gladly dashing my brains against the ground! Also, this lowly one offended Your Excellency! Your Excellency, please punish!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It was you who saved them, not me."


    Ye Sheng could not help freezing when he heard that and said, "Your Excellency''s meaning is ��"


    "Although you carried out unscrupulous deeds, making people despise you, your feelings toward your brothers and sister are not fake. If you threatened me to save only you alone, even risking a great battle with Zhuge Qingxuan, I won''t save them. Moreover, it''s still unknown who would die at whose hands if I have a battle with him!" Ye Yuan''s words exuded powerful confidence.


    His sword intent breaking through, the Evil Extermination Sword Formula also broke through to the second level already, and was able to unleash 50% of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword''s power!


    If he was to really battle with Zhuge Qingxuan again, Ye Yuan definitely did not fear him.


    It was just that Old Man Han concealed his abilities too deeply, making him somewhat apprehensive.


    Before entering deep into the Godsfall Mountain Range, he was unwilling to complicate matters; that was all.


    Ye Sheng sucked in a deep breath, not expecting that the reason Ye Yuan agreed was actually this!


    "No matter what, Ye Sheng''s life is my lord!" Ye Sheng bowed deeply again.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m very curious though. How did you know my identity?"

 1225 Soul Absorption

    "Actually, I''m milord''s fan! Ever since seeing Your Excellency''s powerful strength at the dragon clan, this lowly one was deeply convinced by Your Excellency," Ye Sheng said.


    Turned out, when the Heaven''s Secret Tower published the Ten Great Divine Kings, Ye Sheng was also one of the challengers.


    Of course, after he reached the dragon clan, he discovered that he was batting above his grade.


    But when he witnessed Ye Yuan''s strength, he completely became Ye Yuan''s firm supporter.


    For this, he spent a huge price and bought a lot of data on Ye Yuan from the Heaven''s Secret Tower, and understood Ye Yuan very well.


    He knew that not only was Ye Yuan''s concept comprehension abnormally high, his body refinement aspect did not pale in comparison to the essence energy realm in the least bit.


    Furthermore, apart from Yue Mengli by Ye Yuan''s side, there was even a little girl whose strength was not weak. This little girl did not appear much by Ye Yuan''s side, but Ye Yuan seemed to regard her with great importance.


    All in all, this unfamiliar young man before his eyes, there was at least 50-60% certainty that it was Ye Yuan.


    Of course, he did not dare to be completely sure either. But just now, under that kind of situation, he had no choice but to take a risk.


    As a result, he succeeded.


    "Your Excellency, what should we �� do now?" Ye Sheng said rather hesitantly.


    There were more than a dozen people who came along with them. But from Ye Yuan, the five of them, there were still around ten.


    They saw Ye Sheng''s attitude and also guessed that Ye Yuan was a remarkable great figure, all revealing hopeful looks.


    "What else can we do? Of course it''s going up the mountain to take a look. Zhuge Qingxuan said that this place is called Broken Soul Ridge. It looks like the place is really as its name suggests!" Ye Yuan said with a vicissitude of emotion.


    But to the current Ye Yuan, things in this Divine Realm that could make him wary were really not many.


    The group of people followed along the steep mountain road and climbed up, but they did not discover anything strange.


    However, it was precisely this calmness that gave everyone goosebumps.


    "Your Excellency, why �� why do I feel amiss?" Ye Sheng swallowed his saliva and said.


    "Of course it''s not right, if it was right, Zhuge Qingxuan would not let us come up either," Ye Yuan said without a care.


    That calmness and composure of Ye Yuan''s also affected everyone, making their hearts calm down.


    Traveling not for long, densely packed white cloth suddenly appeared ahead.


    Looking over closely, it was actually countless Soul Beckoning Streamers!


    On that rugged mountain path, over a dozen figures collapsed on the ground, there was no sound.


    "It''s them! It''s that batch of people who came previously!" Someone suddenly cried out.


    "This �� This place is too terrifying! We �� We''d best return first!" Another person''s face turned pale as he suggested.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said coolly, "It''s already too late."


    Seeing that person''s puzzled expression, Ye Yuan added: "You turn around and look."


    That person turned his head and looked, his face becoming even paler.


    "This �� What''s going on?"


    The path when they came actually completely disappeared.


    On both sides of the path were similarly densely crowds of Soul Beckoning Streamers. How was there still a hint of the look of a mountain path?


    Unknowingly, they actually fell into the encirclement of the Soul Beckoning Streamers.


    "Looks like we fell into an overlapping space. Unknowingly, we barged into an incredible place!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    He knew that this place was not some illusionary realm, but actual space!


    If it were an illusionary realm, Ye Yuan would have long seen through it with a glance, and would not wait until now.


    Actually, Ye Yuan himself was very surprised too. He got caught in this space and was actually totally clueless.


    Furthermore, it looks like this space was easy to enter, but wanting to go out was probably not easy.


    "Y-Your Excellency, this �� What to do here?" asked another divine king powerhouse and was even stammering when talking.


    Those few people ahead did not have any movements at all. In all probability, they encountered a mishap.


    When they saw such a situation, how could they not be afraid?


    After all, those dozen over people who entered before, their strengths were not weaker than them.


    "Looks like this space is easy to enter, hard to leave. Since there''s no way to turn around, then there''s only moving forward," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "But, but they ��"


    Ye Yuan gave him an indifferent glance and said, "If you have other methods, this young master naturally won''t stop you either."


    One sentence made him wither.


    This place was clearly very strange. Ye Yuan was already their only reliance.


    Done talking, Ye Yuan did not care about him either and slowly walked in the direction of the previous group of people.


    The other people had no choice and could only keep up.


    Ye Yuan stretched his hand out and flicked. Over a dozen strands of thin threads made up of essence energy flew towards those dozen over people.


    When everyone saw this scene, their gazes all turned intent, being surprised by Ye Yuan''s exquisite essence energy control.


    There was no lack of Divine King powerhouses among them. But nobody could do it to Ye Yuan''s level.


    After several breaths, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "All dead! Their bodies are completely unscathed, but it''s already an empty shell. Their divine souls were all taken away by someone. There are no signs of fighting here, looks like they didn''t have the strength to retaliate at all."


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s expression turned fearful.


    This place was indeed sinister!


    "Your Excellency, I remember that there were 17 people in the first group that came. But there are only 15 people here. Seems like there are two missing," Ye Sheng said.


    Ye Sheng knew Ye Yuan''s background and was not flustered like the others.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Those two people were the strongest in the first group of people. Barring no accidents, we should be able to see their dead bodies ahead."


    At this time, a strange breeze blew past, stirring up those Soul Beckoning Streamers.


    "Woo! Woo!"


    Immediately, a ghostly sobbing voice sounded out all around.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said solemnly, "Close off your six senses, don''t listen to this voice!"


    Everyone''s expression turned fearful, and they hurriedly shut their six sense tightly, not daring to listen to this ghostly weeping sound.


    This ghostly sobbing voice had the effect of absorbing the soul. Ye Yuan virtually detected it straight away. Hence, that was why he voiced out to warn.


    He himself did not care in the least bit though. In this world, it was probably very hard to find something that was able to absorb his divine soul away.


    "Go!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    The group of people continued walking forward. But, along with going in deeper and deeper, that ferocious ghostly sobbing voice became increasingly terrifying.


    In the end, it actually became a fierce cry.


    That scream was incomparably ear-piercing.


    Countless Soul Beckoning Streamers emitted a faint purple light, turning the entire stretch of space even more bizarre.


    "H-Help!" A Divine King powerhouse seemed to have his throat clutched and shouted vigorously.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and discovered that even though these people shut their six senses tightly, their divine souls were still gradually dragged out of the body.


    Even though he was desperately struggling, it was still in vain.


    Not just him, the rest were similarly like so!


    Apart from Yue Mengli, even White Light and Lu-er actually showed signs of being unable to hold on.


    Yue Mengli was of the Innate Battle Soul Physique. Half of her divine soul had already long fused into one entity. Her vitality was extremely strong to begin with.


    Such means were actually unshakable.


    It was just that Lu-er could not hang on anymore. The expression on her face was very painful. Clearly, she already could not quite endure any longer.


    "Y-Young Master!" Lu-er said weakly.

 1226 Drawing on the Ground to Serve as a Prison

    "Lin!"


    Ye Yuan formed a hand seal, his voice like a great bell.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s powerful vitality surged toward the sky, and he forcefully quelled those ghostly wailing voices!


    With the ''Lin'' character coming out of the mouth, a grand aura instantly spread out.


    Those wailing voices seemed to have seen their jinx and immediately did not dare to approach Ye Yuan and the rest anymore.


    Those divine souls that were originally being dragged out also immediately returned into their bodies.


    Even so, each one of them was deathly pale, as if they had a serious illness.


    However, their faces all revealed a look of lingering fear; their gazes when they looked at Ye Yuan were filled with gratitude.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would already be like the first batch of people at this time, becoming corpses without a divine soul.


    Lu-er''s complexion was very bad as well. Ye Yuan asked concernedly, "Lu-er, are you alright?"


    "I''m alright. Thank you, Young Master," Lu-er shook her head and said.


    But Ye Yuan''s face turned cold, and he said, "If a tiger doesn''t demonstrate its might, do you really take this young master to be a sickly cat?"


    These ghosts were so arrogant to actually hurt Lu-er. It made Ye Yuan become genuinely angry.


    "Fiery, burn all of these damn things for me! This young master wants to see just what kind of ghost or monster there are, playing tricks over here!" Ye Yuan said with a cold shout.


    Hearing that icy tone of Ye Yuan, the others could not help shuddering.


    These Soul Beckoning Streamers were incomparably bizarre. It was already not bad for them to be able to escape with their lives.


    But this lord actually wanted to burn them all!


    Fiery''s figure appeared, his hands kneading seals. At once, a surge of terrifying power of flames spread out.


    Boom!


    Everyone immediately felt like their entire bodies were about to burn up.


    They hurriedly revolved essence energy to resist. But under this surge of terrifying heatwave, they actually had a feeling of being scorched.


    Too frightening!


    "This �� This power of the flame is too strong!"


    "The Spirit Bristle Divine King''s Nine Suns Burning Heaven is known as the Divine Realm''s number one fire-attribute martial technique. In my view, this power of the flames isn''t the slightest bit inferior!"


    "Just who in the world is this lord? This strength is also a little too horrifying, right?"


    ...


    Back then, the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s one move, Nine Suns Burning Heaven, slaughtered hundreds of divine king powerhouses, causing a sensation for some time.


    There was no shortage of divine king powerhouses among these dozen over people. They questioned themselves if Fiery''s move was unleashed against them, they would only have the share of being one-shotted.


    However, even if more people came, it was the same too!


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s strength, they could not resist speculating about Ye Yuan''s identity one after another.


    Previously hearing Ye Yuan say that he did not fear the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, they were more or less still a little disdainful in their hearts.


    But now, they knew that Ye Yuan was not kidding!


    To have strength comparable to the Spirit Bristle Divine King, why would he be scared of the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King?


    That pale flame instantly ignited the Soul Beckoning Streamers within a radius of 10 thousand feet.


    Shrill ghostly wails came over. They seemed to be thrown into an oil pot, miserable screams lingering on incessantly.


    After 10 breaths, Fiery withdrew the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame.


    Originally, within this ten thousand foot radius was overwhelmed with weed, countless Soul Beckoning Streamers stood in great numbers.


    But now, it became a stretch of wilderness.


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s current power was indeed already not much inferior to the Spirit Bristle Divine King.


    This level of flame power directly refined those Soul Beckoning Streamers into nothingness.


    However, Ye Yuan''s expression changed.


    On this ten thousand square-feet of wilderness, there were actually still several poles of Soul Beckoning Streamers that were not refined!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over and discovered that there were still nine!


    These nine Soul Beckoning Streamers were clearly different from the rest.


    Nine poles of Soul Beckoning Streamers inserted on the solitary barren graves, appearing deserted and strange, giving people an extremely ominous feeling.


    In the wilderness, there was even a massive tomb.


    There was a piece of stone monument in front of the tomb, on it wrote five blood-colored large words ''Tomb of Soul Refining Sect''.


    "Looks like this Broken Soul Ridge''s bizarreness is because this tomb came into being! Soul Refining Sect, this is probably an Ancient Era sect. Furthermore, it''s a Divine Dao sect!" Ye Yuan said.


    This tomb coming into being superimposed this space onto the Broken Soul Ridge.


    Hence, the moment martial artists came up, they had their souls sucked by those Soul Beckoning Streamers.


    As for this Soul Refining Sect, Ye Yuan had never heard before. Ten to one, it was an Ancient Era sect.


    Ancient Era sects, there would more or less be some mentions in some of the present Divine Realm''s materials.


    The Ancient Era was too far away from present times. Even the Heaven One Sect, this kind of large sect, no one remembered it, let alone some slightly smaller Divine Dao sects.


    These nine poles of Soul Beckoning Streamers were able to resist Fiery''s refinement. They were definitely not ordinary items.


    Hence, Ye Yuan determined that this so-called Soul Refining Sect was bound to be a Divine Dao sect!


    "Hahaha!"


    Suddenly, a crazed voice sounded out.


    Everyone was startled in their hearts. Looking over, they saw that a divine king powerhouse''s hand was actually holding one of the nine poles of Soul Beckoning Streamers!


    "Wei Cheng, what are you doing? Quickly put it down!" The expression of another martial artist who was on friendly terms with Wei Cheng could not help changing greatly when he saw the situation and shouted at Wei Cheng.


    But how could the current Wei Cheng still hear it at this time?


    He let out a burst of wild laughter and said, "Hahaha, from this day forth, this seat is the ancient Soul Refining Sect''s successor! I want this world to obey me!"


    Wei Cheng''s two eyes were scarlet, his expression crazed, looking very sinister.


    "Wei Cheng, quickly wake up! Hurry up and put down that Soul Beckoning Streamer!" Li Yao shouted again.


    Ye Yuan heaved and sighed and said, "He''s already being controlled by that Soul Beckoning Streamer. No matter how you shout, it''s already useless too."


    Li Yao''s expression turned pale as a sheet, and he muttered, "This �� What to do here?"


    "Not good! Seize that Soul Beckoning Streamer first, then talk! If it doesn''t work, we can only kill!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Hahaha �� Kill, kill, kill!"


    Wei Cheng was already completely insane, carrying a Soul Beckoning Streamer and charging over, his aura billowing into the sky.


    "White Light, you go and deal with him first. I''ll cast a spell to protect them. Otherwise, it would be bad is someone is lured over by that Soul Beckoning Streamer again," Ye Yuan said.


    White Light did not say a word and stepped forward, matching up against Wei Cheng!


    White Light''s current strength was already not inferior to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    But forcefully clashing a blow with Wei Cheng, he actually did not gain the slightest bit of advantage!


    For some time, the two people were locked in a struggle.


    When everyone saw this scene, their faces all changed greatly.


    An unassuming divine king powerhouse obtaining the Soul Beckoning Streamer, his strength actually became so powerful!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly too, secretly thinking to himself that this ancient Soul Refining Sect was indeed incomparably evil.


    However, his hands did not slow down, pulling out the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy surged. Immediately, the sound of thunder rang out, bolts of lightning discharging out.


    Ye Yuan''s head the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood in his hand and drew a large circle around everyone.


    Finished, Ye Yuan lightly cried out the ''Lin'' character. After that, he directly inserted the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood into the soil.


    Straight away, an enormous lightning shield protected everyone in the middle.


    Above the shield, there was faintly the undulation of the power of laws. The might of the ''Lin'' character actually condensed and did not dissipate!


    "Alright, no matter what happens outside, all are not to walk out of the radius of this shield! Otherwise, even gods can''t save you!" Ye Yuan said to everyone coldly.

 1228 Myriad Soul Flag

    With this escape, wanting to capture him again would not be so easy anymore.


    How could Ye Yuan give him the chance? Voice of the Dragon God activated flagrantly!


    Wei Cheng''s figure was originally already more than half merged into the tomb. But at this time, it was akin to having an immobilizing spell cast, forcefully freezing there.


    Even Zhuge Qingxuan could not withstand Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God, how could a mere Wei Cheng be Ye Yuan''s match?


    He only withstood less than a breath of time, and then Wei Cheng was forcefully shocked out by Ye Yuan!


    "S-So powerful! What martial technique is this? That roar earlier, I felt that my divine soul was about to leave the body."


    "I''ve never seen before a type of sound wave martial technique that can have such terrifying might! That was a dragon roar just now, right? Could it be that this was a dragon race martial technique?"


    "This �� Who in the world is this lord? I feel that my head is almost not enough to use anymore."


    ...


    These divine king powerhouses were normally all tyrants of a region.


    Any one among them going out could establish a sect and form a Rank One Holy Land.


    But now, when they saw Ye Yuan, they immediately felt like they were peasants, totally not enough to look at.


    This was true; there was always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven


    Ye Yuan came to Wei Cheng''s side and discovered that his two eyes rolled back, and was long rattled silly by the Voice of the Dragon God.


    For the Voice of the Dragon God to be able to become one of the dragon race''s supreme martial techniques, that was not anyhow said.


    The damages were not just targeted at the physical body, even the divine soul was similarly able to be shocked until it dissipated.


    Wei Cheng was just like a dead dog at this time, without any strength to fight back at all.


    "Keep pretending to be dead, I''ll make your soul disintegrate!" Ye Yuan''s cold voice sounded out.


    A sinister ghostly figure slowly floated up from Wei Cheng''s body, wanting to secretly tunnel into the Soul Beckoning Streamer.


    While that Wei Cheng was already deader than dead.


    "You can try going in. Do you really think that this young master can''t do anything to the Soul Beckoning Streamer?" Ye Yuan continued.


    That ghostly silhouette trembled and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said, "You �� You can see me?"


    "What a joke! If I can''t see you, could it be that this young master is talking to the air? Also, the few of you, if you still won''t come out, bear the consequences yourselves!" Ye Yuan''s words revealed killing intent.


    Only then the ghostly silhouette was certain that Ye Yuan was really able to see him!


    But how did he do it?


    The few of them were all invisible things. Unless it was a Deity Realm powerhouse who was here, otherwise, no one could see them at all.


    Who knew that this young man was actually able to see!


    The ghostly silhouette suddenly discovered that he was really struck by lightning when he went out.


    The Soul Refining Sect slumbered for a million years. The few of them were prepared to race against time and go all out. Did not expect that not long after coming into being, they ran into such a freak.


    No matter how they did things, they were all restrained firmly by Ye Yuan and did not have the least bit of strength left to resist at all.


    Inside the other few Soul Beckoning Streamers, several figures floated up too.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over them and finally landed on that Wei Cheng''s ghost again, and said, "Now, I ask, you answer. As long as you let me discover that you''re lying, this young master will make you regret being a ghost! Remember, you don''t have a second chance!"


    That piercing cold killing intent of Ye Yuan''s made them shudder once more. ''Wei Cheng'' hurriedly said, "Y-Your Excellency, feel free to ask. Gui Fu absolutely dare not conceal."


    Seeing that he had thoroughly awed these few ghosts, Ye Yuan also calmed down slightly in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s research into the divine soul was extremely deep and had once seen before in some records.


    Some heretic path cultivators would use special techniques to refine divine souls into evil ghosts.


    These evil ghosts under the order of martial artists were able to kill enemies. Furthermore, their power potentials were limitless.


    The powerful ones could even reach Deity Realm!


    This Soul Refining Sect was named ''Soul Refining.'' It was likely an illustrious heretic path sect in the Ancient Era too.


    He knew that these few ghosts were all refined with extremely powerful methods. Want to erase away, there was only using the Voice of the Dragon God.


    But the Voice of the Dragon God, he already used one breath of time. He was no longer able to use it within a short time.


    Ye Yuan shot Gui Fu a glance nonchalantly and asked, "What is this place?"


    Gui Fu said cautiously, "Replying Your Excellency, this place is the Soul Refining Sect''s Divine Development Space! Back then, the Soul Refining Sect was pursued by Daoist Absolute Heaven until there was no road to heaven and no gate into the earth, and could only escape into the Godsfall Mountain Range. But when they escaped here, they were already a spent force. At that time, the Soul Refining Sect''s sect master, Li Gui, opened up this Divine Development Space with a great divine ability. He destroyed his fleshy body and laid down the Immemorial Soul Refining Grand Array, hoping to borrow this Godsfall Mountain Range''s evil-yin energy and refine himself into an undying evil ghost, and then dominate the Divine Realm. At that time, even Absolute Heaven could not do anything to him either!"


    Ye Yuan could not help shuddering with fear when he heard. The means of Ancient Era powerhouses were simply inconceivable.


    The name of the undying evil ghost, Ye Yuan had once heard before too.


    Legends had it that refining into an undying evil ghost, one could be undying and imperishable. Even Deity Realm powerhouses were hard-pressed to destroy too.


    Did not expect that there was actually someone who set up a million years old grand plan, to refine himself into this kind of neither human nor ghost creature.


    "You''re saying that Li Gui is inside this tomb?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Although Heavenly Dao was missing presently, even if Li Gui really refined himself into an undying evil ghost, it was also impossible to reach the heights of a million years.


    But this undying evil ghost was absolutely not easy to deal with.


    Even the current him was most likely not a match either.


    Gui Fu nodded his head and said, "Yes."


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and asked again, "The few of you, what kind of existences are you?"


    Gui Fu''s expression was ugly and said, "The few of us aren''t anything, we �� are this Myriad Soul Flag''s artifact spirits! The Myriad Soul Flag is a profound divine artifact. It can divide into nine and can also combine into one. It''s just that �� our strengths haven''t recovered to our peak state yet, so ��"


    Gui Fu secretly peeked at Ye Yuan but did not dare to carry on saying.


    Clearly, losing to Ye Yuan, Gui Fu was still unconvinced in his heart.


    If he could recover to his peak state, he definitely would not fear Ye Yuan.


    From Skydistant there, Ye Yuan knew that divine artifacts were also classified into grades.


    Divided according to the grade, divine artifacts were categorized into spirit divine artifact, profound divine artifact, heavenly divine artifact, which corresponds respectively to Grotto Profound, Heaven Glimpse, and Origin Deity, three great deity realms.


    Since the Myriad Soul Flag was a profound divine artifact, its grade was already not low.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and pulled the Evil Extermination Sword out again with a swish, and said, "Since the Soul Refining Sect was pursued by Senior Absolute Heaven, then do you guys recognize this sword?"


    The gazes of Gui Fu and the evil ghosts turned intent. Only now did they size up the sword in Ye Yuan''s hand carefully.


    Firstly, they had just regained consciousness not long, many memories that had already long been covered by dust had not recovered yet. Secondly, they were constantly in the heat of battle just now. They did not have time to size up the sword in Ye Yuan''s hand and just felt that it looked familiar.


    Taking a look now, they involuntarily shuddered in fear.


    "E-Evil Extermination Divine Sword! This is the Evil Extermination Divine Sword! You �� You''re Absolute Heaven''s successor!"


    Gui Fu was just like a mouse that saw a cat, immediately screaming shrilly.


    The other evil ghosts were similarly immensely alarmed too. It was as if they had seen a terrifying thing.


    Clearly, Absolute Heaven''s deterrent power toward them was too strong.


    Ye Yuan looked at Gui Fu and said with a faint smile, "Now, this young master gives you two choices, one is to acknowledge me as your master, the other is to �� turn to dust!"Calling himself unlucky

 1229 Searching Memories

    Previously when he exchanged blows with Gui Fu, Ye Yuan was actually secretly alarmed.


    With the Evil Extermination Sword''s sharpness, it actually could not chop off a Soul Beckoning Streamer. This clearly did not quite make sense.


    Even Ye Yuan did not think that this Myriad Soul Flag was actually a profound divine artifact!


    One had to know that the Evil Extermination Sword was also merely a profound divine artifact. It was just that it was an existence with an extremely high grade, even among profound divine artifacts.


    Paired with Absolute Heaven''s strength that overpowered all life, that was why it appeared extraordinary.


    He did not expect that these few poles of lousy streamers were actually a profound divine artifact!


    Ye Yuan had a heavenly divine artifact in his hands though. It was the Sacred Dragon Token.


    It was just that until now, Ye Yuan was unable to unleash its true power. Therefore, he used it lesser now instead.


    Although these Myriad Soul Flags were somewhat extraordinary, they did not have the undulations of a divine artifact at all, resulting in Ye Yuan not perceiving it.


    It seemed like this Myriad Soul Flag indeed had some ability, to actually be able to divide into nine.


    Furthermore, the power of the Myriad Soul Flag was clearly related to the condition of these evil ghosts.


    If these evil ghosts were able to recover strength, the Myriad Soul Flag''s power should be rather considerable.


    Hearing Gui Fu said so, Ye Yuan had the thought of subduing these ghost creatures aroused.


    If it were somebody else, forget about subduing these ghost creatures, not being subdued by these ghost creatures was already pretty good.


    But Ye Yuan had the Soul Suppressing Pearl, these ghosts could not affect him at all.


    Ye Yuan did not have aversive thoughts toward this kind of evil things. Since this profound divine artifact was already an established fact, destroying it would be a pity.


    As long as one used it positively, it could save many people instead.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan subduing these evil ghosts still had other considerations involved.


    The nine evil ghosts exchanged glances, their faces all revealed unwilling expressions.


    Placed at a million years ago, they did not even place Deity Realm powerhouses in their sights.


    But now, they had yet to take the first step out and was subdued by Ye Yuan. How could they be reconciled to it?


    "Heh, looks like you all have just woken up and are really very muddled! In this present Divine Realm, how can one still be able to corroborate their Dao and become a deity? No matter how many divine souls you all devour, you''d also be unable to recover to your peak anymore!"


    Ye Yuan discovered that these ghosts seemed to really have quite a slow reaction. Until now, they still had not detected Heavenly Dao''s change.


    His words filled the evil ghosts with alarm.


    "You �� Is what you said true?" Gui Fu said in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan briefly narrated Heavenly Dao''s change and continued, "Heh, even if you all recover your strength, you''d forever not be this young master''s match! Now, have you given up?"


    Finally, Ye Yuan''s words utterly shattered Gui Fu''s psychological defense.


    "Your Excellency, Gui Fu is willing to acknowledge you as Master!" Gui Fu said with extreme unwillingness.


    If it were another person, he absolutely would not submit.


    Even if the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King was here, he would not be able to subdue these evil ghosts too. Because he could not kill these guys at all.


    But Ye Yuan was different!


    His voice of the dragon god was too terrifying.


    Already experiencing the power of the Voice of the Dragon God, Gui Fu believed that Ye Yuan absolutely had the ability to kill them!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Say the spell to control the Myriad Soul Flag, and I''ll spare you all from death. Don''t think about tampering with it. It''s still that sentence, you guys don''t have a second chance."


    Gui Fu had long seen through, those immensely powerful means of theirs all could not work in front of Ye Yuan.


    Playing tricks was tantamount to seeking death.


    Gui Fu''s expression turned fearful, and he said, "Your Excellency, the usage method of the Myriad Soul Flag is different from other profound divine artifacts. It doesn''t require divine inscriptions to activate. But on this Myriad Soul Flag, there is Li Gui''s divine soul imprint. If Your Excellency wishes to control us, you just have to remove his imprint, then have it acknowledge you as its master with blood essence and a divine soul imprint will do. "It''s just that wanting to remove Li Gui''s imprint, the risk isn''t small."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that, not expecting that the Myriad Soul Flag was actually so convenient.


    As for Gui Fu''s words, he did not take them to heart at all.


    Ye Yuan picked up Gui Fu''s Myriad Soul Streamer, his divine sense sunk directly inside.


    A tempest-like divine sense undulation was about to wipe away Ye Yuan''s consciousness indiscriminately.


    Right at this time, the Soul Suppressing Bead suddenly gave off a red light, shining toward Li Gui''s divine sense imprint. He did not even get to scream tragically and directly turned to dust.


    Seeing this scene, Gui Fu and the other evil ghosts were shocked until their mouths were gaping.


    Li Gui was a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse back then and also cultivated the divine soul path. His divine soul imprint, even Origin Deity Realm powerhouses did not dare to easily erase either.


    He did not expect that this young man before his eyes eradicated it without any effort!


    That red light, Gui Fu could not figure out what that was at all. But without a doubt, if it were him, he would likewise turn to dust!


    The eyes Gui Fu looked toward Ye Yuan with were filled with terror.


    The secrets on this young man were simply abundant until he could not bear to look straight.


    Ye Yuan''s methods to exterminate him were far more than he imagined!


    Actually, this was Gui Fu thinking too much.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was completely automatically protecting its master here. Ye Yuan completely could not deploy it.


    Following that, Ye Yuan completely wiped away the Li Gui imprint on the nine Myriad Soul Flags like what he had done. After that, he dripped blood for it to acknowledge a master according to the method Gui Fu said.


    Suddenly, a terrifying surge of evil yin energy poured in, rushing straight at the top of Ye Yuan''s head.


    But the Soul Suppressing Pearl emitted a holy red light and completely suppressed the evil yin energy. It did not even stir up a single wave.


    Immediately after that, Ye Yuan discovered that a trace of faintly discernible connection was established between his divine soul and the nine evil ghosts.


    Sure enough, he was already able to spur these evil ghosts!


    "Paying respect to Master!" Gui Fu and the rest were already unable to resist Ye Yuan''s thoughts and submitted.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Gui Fu, now, I want to search your memories. You''re not to resist!"


    Gui Fu bowed his body and said, "Yes, Master."


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul probed out and started reading Gui Fu''s memories.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s face revealed a faint understanding smile.


    "Your Excellency, what in the world happened at your side just now?" When Ye Sheng saw Ye Yuan, he could not resist asking.


    He could not see Gui Fu and the others. So he thought that Ye Yuan was muttering to himself alone there.


    Not just him, the others similarly looked toward Ye Yuan with curious expressions.


    Among them, also included White Light and Lu-er.


    Rather, for Yue Mengli, because she also had the Moonlight Heavenly Eye, although it was not as clear as Ye Yuan, she could also see some things.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s actions earlier were too weird.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing, just subdued a few little ghosts. Come, let''s enter the tomb!"


    With him saying so, the other people''s faces all revealed incomparably astonished expressions.


    After all, outside was already so dangerous. Inside probably still had even more dangers.


    Even if there was Ye Yuan, this kind of powerful existence, Wei Cheng still died. This involuntarily made each and every one of their faces deathly pale.


    Seeing that mysterious smile on Ye Yuan''s face, Yue Mengli could not help saying curiously, "Could it be that there are still some good places inside this tomb?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled with laughter and said, "Come, let''s go in first and dig a pit for Zhuge Qingxuan that fellow to jump inside! This time, this young master is going to toy him to death!"

 1230 Spatial Crystal

    When Zhuge Qingxuan saw this stretch of wilderness, his face immediately fell.


    This stretch of scorched earth still had residual heat. The land was burned to a charcoal-black color.


    People who were capable of accomplishing this were not many.


    This way, it affirmed their guesses previously even more.


    That person who came forward of his own accord to go up the mountain was very likely Ye Yuan!


    At the thought of this, Zhuge Qingxuan was as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    "Ye Yuan''s essence fire is the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame. Furthermore, it already gave birth to a primordial spirit. Its power is extraordinary. This place, every single thing here was probably done by him!" Old Man Han shot Zhuge Qingxuan a very meaningful glance and said.


    "This seat naturally knows, so no need you to shoot your mouth off! Wait until this seat catches up to him, and I''ll definitely tear him limb from limb!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan gave a cold snort and shot Old Man Han an ill-intent glance.


    Old Man Han just smiled slightly and did not care about Zhuge Qingxuan''s attitude and said again, "This region formed a space of its own, it was probably hewed open by a Deity Realm powerhouse with a great divine ability. This place likely has quite a few good stuff."


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s face fell, furious until he gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Ye Yuan sneaked inside from under his eyelids. Now, he already took the preemptive in every aspect.


    "Humph! An ancient Divine Dao sect isn''t what he can mess with as he likes! Does he think that by coming in first, he can have the advantage? When the time comes, he won''t even know how he dies!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.


    "Eh? You know this sect?" Old Man Han said curiously.


    "The ancient Soul Refining Sect was a powerful sect in the same era as the Heaven One Sect. It was said that their sect master was also a reclusive pinnacle genius, his heretic path skills cultivated to the extreme, and was a peak Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse. It''s just a shame that he ran into Absolute Heaven!"


    The Holy City was the faction with the most ancient inheritance at present. Seeing the Soul Refining Sect''s name, he remembered the history very quickly.


    It was just that in the sect''s records, this sect was already wiped out by Absolute Heaven. He did not expect that there were still traces that showed up at the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    But one thing was certain, this sect was not to be provoked.


    "This way, Ye Yuan might really not gain any advantage when he enters. A single mishap, and he might really throw himself in. Lord Kanuo said that Ye Yuan entered the Godsfall Mountain Range, and heaven''s secret is being screened. Killing him, here is the best place. Or, he might play himself to death, who knows?" Old Man Han''s eyes lit up as he said.


    Talking up to here, Zhuge Qingxuan''s complexion finally eased up a little, his face revealing some mockery as he said, "We''ll go in. I hope that Ye Yuan doesn''t get toyed to death."


    ...


    Slightly earlier, Ye Yuan and the rest entered inside the tomb under Gui Fu''s lead.


    Inside the tomb formed its own space, just like an enormous emperor mausoleum.


    The passageways inside the mausoleum were extremely abundant. There were also countless traps.


    A moment of carelessness and it was the outcome, perishing and Dao dissipating.


    But Ye Yuan searched Gui Fu''s memories and already knew this place like the back of his hand.


    With his lead, the party naturally proceeded unimpeded without obstacles.


    "After this door, is the place where the spatial crystal is at?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Ahead was a large door. According to Gui Fu''s memories, there was a piece of spatial crystal after the large door.


    That spatial crystal was the cornerstone of this space.


    Controlling the spatial crystal, Ye Yuan would be able to control this tomb as he pleased.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that Li Gui did not awaken.


    "Yes, Master! It''s just that there''s an extremely powerful restriction on this door. It was personally laid down by Sect Master Li Gui back then, specifically targeting divine souls. Even if an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse was here, it would likely be difficult for him to withstand as well," Gui Fu warned him.


    The Soul Refining Sect established the sect with ''souls'' and liked to refine divine souls. It was also exceedingly formidable in the path of divine souls.


    Li Gui was the person who walked the furthest on this path in the Soul Refining Sect. His cultivation even reached peak Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    The restriction that he personally laid down, the power could be seen at a glance.


    Even if a million years had gone by, it was also absolutely not what a Dao Profound Realm martial artist could withstand.


    Along the way, everyone had long become used to Gui Fu''s existence already.


    According to Ye Yuan''s request, Gui Fu cast a secret art and showed his form.


    Gui Fu was already being controlled by Ye Yuan now. He was naturally worried about Ye Yuan''s safety.


    "Restrictions targeting the divine soul?"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he revealed a very disdainful expression, and actually directly reached his hand out to push that door.


    Gui Fu was taken aback when he saw the situation, and he hurriedly said, "Be careful, Master!"


    When Ye Yuan''s hand touched that large door, a restriction power that made everyone''s hearts palpitate instantly invaded Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    "Your Excellency, watch out!"


    "Milord!"


    ...


    All of them exclaimed in shock, warning Ye Yuan.


    After all, Ye Yuan was their only hope right now.


    Without Ye Yuan, they were bound to die here, no other possibilities.


    However, Ye Yuan was perfectly fine, his hand pressing right onto the door.


    And then �� pushed the door open.


    Everyone''s eyeballs popped out, an expression of seeing ghosts.


    Only Yue Mengli and the others who knew Ye Yuan well had a to-be-expected expression. They all knew that Ye Yuan was basically immune to divine soul-type attacks.


    If it were some powerful essence energy restrictions, Ye Yuan might need to expend some effort.


    But restrictions targeted at the divine soul �� was seriously too dull and lacking excitement.


    Gui Fu felt that this new master of his was the real ''ghost.''


    "Master''s means are truly inconceivable!" Gui Fu said with an emotional sigh.


    Creak ��


    The stone door was easily pushed open by Ye Yuan. A dreamlike scene appeared in front of everyone.


    This was a void. It took on a multi-colored appearance inside; magnificent and gorgeous.


    In the middle of the void, a chunk of white crystal suspended in the air, emitting powerful undulations.


    "What a powerful spatial power! Didn''t expect that the Divine Realm actually still had such a wondrous thing!"


    When Ye Yuan saw this spatial crystal, he was incredibly amazed too.


    Every since Divine Dao dwindled to zero, the strength that originally transcended the ordinary also gradually disappeared in the long river of history. It was even hard to find any traces at all.


    This spatial crystal was clearly one of them.


    To be able to support this space for a million years indestructibly, this spatial crystal''s energy could be imagined.


    Of course, to be able to use the spatial crystal to cleave open this space, Li Gui''s strength was also unimaginable.


    "The Godsfall Mountain Range''s space is exceedingly unstable. Li Gui made use of the spatial crystal back then and opened up this Soul Refining Sect space on this spatial node, avoided Absolute Heaven''s eyes and ears. But a million years later, the spatial crystal''s spatial power is already much weaker and is no longer able to stand independently outside of the void, that''s why it would appear in the Godsfall Mountain Range," Gui Fu said.


    Ye Yuan sighed emotionally and said, "Looks like the means of Deity Realm powerhouses are truly what we can''t imagine! Even if it''s not for the sake of dealing with Kanuo, the allure of Deity Realm is also not what my generation is able to resist."


    Not far from the spatial crystal, there was a miniature array formation.


    Ye Yuan''s essence energy urged, sending out the nine poles of Myriad Soul Flags in nine directions.


    After that, he slowly walked into the array formation.


    Everything inside this Soul Refining Sect space lay within Ye Yuan''s control!

    "All of you, all enter for this seat!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan displayed his despotic power grandly and chased everyone inside the tomb like herding ducks.


    Everyone was helpless and could only toughen their scalps despite being aware of the danger and entered the tomb.


    Zhuge Qingxuan had a scornful look as he said, "A bunch of ant-like existences also have delusions of grandeur about achieving Dao, truly toads lusting after swan meat!"


    "Huhu, there are millions upon millions of ants in the world, who doesn''t wish to achieve Dao and be eternal? One can always think about it," Old Man Han said with a smile.


    Only after seeing everyone disappear in their line of sight one by one did Zhuge Qingxuan and party enter inside.


    But, the moment Zhuge Qingxuan entered the enchantment, alarm bells went off!


    In front of him was a blood-red world!


    Countless resentful spirits bared their fangs and brandished their claws, clawing over towards Zhuge Qingxuan.


    These resentful spirits were not very powerful, but they heavily outnumbered him.


    These resentful spirits in front of them seemingly stretched to infinity, totally unable to kill finish.


    Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly. The Profound Calamity Finger suddenly attacked.


    Boom!


    Thousands of resentful spirits were directly blotted out by this finger.


    However, these thousands of resentful spirits were merely a drop in the ocean.


    This hole was filled by the other resentful spirits very soon.


    "Give me back my life!"


    "I want you to die!"


    "Kill, kill, kill!"


    ...


    These resentful spirits seemed to have deep hatred with Zhuge Qingxuan, all screaming as they arrived with a howl.


    "Humph! A bunch of reckless things! Mere resentful spirits wish to trap this seat as well?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly. A terrifying aura surged to the sky.


    "True Martial Brahma!"


    With Zhuge Qingxuan as the center, a pale-blue light screen formed within a radius of a hundred feet.


    The moment these resentful spirits entered this hundred feet radius, they were immediately ground up and turned to ashes!


    However, they still rushed over toward Zhuge Qingxuan like moths fluttering towards the fire.


    Inside the spatial crystal array formation, Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and said to himself, "I didn''t expect that this guy actually comprehended a Divine Dao Domain too! Looks like these past few days, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds! Kanuo is indeed well-deserving of being a former heavenly fiendgod, to actually have such means!"


    In front of Zhuge Qingxuan''s eyes turned blurry, his figure appearing in a long passageway.


    Old Man Han seemed to have entered long ago. He shot Zhuge Qingxuan a strange glance and said, "Why have you only just come?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan also gave him a glance weirdly and said, "You entered after me, why did you reach first instead? Could it be that you didn''t run into those resentful spirits?"


    "Resentful spirits? What resentful spirits? We came straight in and didn''t encounter anything." Old Man Han said in confusion.


    Right at this time, there was another Divine King Realm martial artist who came in.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s brows furrowed, and he grabbed him and asked, "You came in through the enchantment, did you encounter anything?"


    Being pressed by Zhuge Qingxuan, that person''s expression was somewhat ugly, but he still shook his head and said, "No, I came straight in and didn''t encounter anything."


    Zhuge Qingxuan was depressed now and asked a few more who came in first, and discovered that none of them ran into resentful spirits.


    Why was it just him who encountered?


    Could it be because he was unlucky?


    Even though those resentful spirits did not pose much threat to him, just him alone encountering it, that was rather depressing too.


    Old Man Han noticed something wrong and asked, "What place did you go to earlier?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan said, "I don''t know what place it was either, seemed to be a certain space in the enchantment where it raised countless resentful spirits. Even if the average Void Mystic martial artist was inside, it would probably be hard to come out as well. If not for this seat having a great advancement in strength recently, I probably wouldn''t have come out so fast yet!"


    Old Man Han was also slightly surprised when he heard that and secretly thought that Zhuge Qingxuan was truly a bit too unlucky.


    All of them did not encounter it. It was only Zhuge Qingxuan alone that ran into it.


    As for someone deliberately manipulating it, they did not think in this area at all.


    This was an ancient Divine Dao sect, so who could manipulate things to such an extent as they wished?


    After making noise for a long time, Zhuge Qingxuan did not figure anything out either, and he could only continue deeper in.


    The corridors crisscrossed here, extending in all directions, just like a maze.


    Although their numbers were many, they were like headless flies, unable to find the direction.


    However, along the way, they did not run into any danger. This made the martial artists who came in rather surprised.


    They even thought that this Divine Dao sect''s ruins would definitely have many restrictions and traps, but did not expect that nothing actually happened at all.


    Zhuge Qingxuan was naturally very surprised too. He and Old Man Han exchanged a glance and opened his mouth, "Could it be that this place is just an empty shell?"


    "This �� isn''t too likely, right?" Old Man Han said, with uncertainty.


    "If it''s not an empty shell, why isn''t there any danger at all?"


    The moment Zhuge Qingxuan''s words came out of his mouth, his face immediately changed.


    "True Martial Brahma!"


    Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuge Qingxuan instantly opened up his Divine Dao domain.


    Countless blood light flashed, swarming over from all directions, enveloping Zhuge Qingxuan''s party inside fully.


    "ARGHH!!"


    A series of shrill and miserable screams came over. Apart from Old Man Han and Zhuge Qingxuan, their party was one-shotted instantly.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    These blood lights were incomparably scary from beginning to end. Even though the two people''s strength stood head and shoulders above all others, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.


    This restriction power was laid down by a Deity Realm powerhouse one million years ago. The power was unimaginable!


    The two people used all of their abilities and finally charged out from inside the restriction.


    Following the two people coming out, that restriction slowly died down.


    The two people exchanged a glance, still having some lingering fear in their hearts.


    "Just now, there was someone who just went past in front and didn''t set off the restriction. Why does when it comes to us, it will trigger such a terrifying restriction?" Zhuge Qingxuan said with an ugly look.


    Zhuge Qingxuan hearing those martial artists inside, the objective was in order to be scapegoats.


    But those people were fine, while he was nearly turned to dregs by the restriction. This made him incomparably frustrated.


    Old Man Han''s expression was also incomparably ugly. The people that he brought over actually all died. Even their divine souls did not escape as well, directly obliterated by the restriction.


    "That''s right! There were quite a few people who walked past just now, and they were all fine! No idea why, when it came to us walking past, it triggered the restriction!" Old Man Han said gloomily.


    Zhuge Qingxuan gave him a glance and said suspiciously, "It wouldn''t be your subordinates who were blind and triggered the restriction, right?"


    Old Man Han''s expression flickered incessantly and could only heave a sigh finally and said, "I''m afraid that''s only this possibility as well."


    Apart from this explanation, he seriously could only think of other possibilities.


    "Damn it! Bring this kind of good-for-nothings out for what? Apart from causing trouble, they were utterly useless!" Zhuge Qingxuan said with a black face.


    He was extremely pent-up with anger right now. Seemed like ever since he entered this tomb, nothing went well for him.


    It seemed like this Divine Dao sect''s ruins was specifically targeting him alone.


    Old Man Han was also greatly angered and said unhappily, "Zhuge Qingxuan, don''t you sit on your high horse! You don''t think that this Han is scared of you, do you?"

 1232 Internecine Fighting

    Old Man Han was aware of Zhuge Qingxuan''s character, having his eyes at the top of his head; coupled with Kanuo''s warnings, he did not argue over things with Zhuge Qingxuan along the way.


    But now, the people that he brought were all dead. How could he still have such a good temper?


    Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly and said, "Kanuo sent trash over, what use can you be of? Don''t think that with just Kanuo backing you up, this seat won''t dare to kill you!"


    Old Man Han was furious until he was huffing and puffing. He discovered that this guy was simply unreasonable!


    "Heh, if not for Lord Kanuo, you''d have long been killed by Ye Yuan that brat, would it still be your turn to show off your power here? Pooh!"


    At this time, quite a number of martial artists were drawn by the sound of the two of their arguing. They stopped to watch the show by the side.


    Hearing Old Man Han''s words, everyone turned pale with fright.


    That battle did not spread out.


    Only now did they know that the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King actually nearly died under Ye Yuan''s hands!


    Didn''t this mean that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King already surpassed the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King?


    "I didn''t hear wrongly, right? The Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually almost killed this guy!"


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s growth is simply too terrifying! Just how long has it been, his strength actually soared again!"


    "If this is true, doesn''t that mean that the Ten Great Divine King''s ranking is going to change again?"


    ...


    This news was seriously too shocking.


    The unbeatable existence in their hearts was actually dragged down from the altar, just like that!


    But at this time, virtually everyone was very delighted in their hearts.


    After all, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King already drove them into a dead end. Furthermore, this guy''s personality seriously made people dare not sing praises.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King replacing the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, they did not have much sense of a loss. They felt very liberated instead!


    What kind of hearing strength did Zhuge Qingxuan have? Hearing these toned down discussions, his anger flared up even more.


    "Since you''re seeking death, then this seat will grant your wish!"


    How could Zhuge Qingxuan still endure it? He erupted immediately, tapping a finger over toward Old Man Han.


    Old Man Han was also not someone who was easy to deal with. The two people clashed together.


    This degree of battle, in addition to the fact that it was inside a narrow corridor, how could the others still dare to surround and watch? Each and every one of them ran far away.


    Inside the corridor, waves of terrifying undulations transmitted over. But the group of martial artists had excited looks.


    "Heh, this Heaven Stabilizing Divine King tyrannically abuses his power. I didn''t expect that they actually broke out in internecine fighting! Truly venting one''s anger!"


    "Best if the two of them suffer mutual destruction! This kind of guy is simply not worthy of the name of the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    "Seize this chance, let''s hurry up and run! Carrying on like this, we''d have to die in their hands sooner or later!"


    "Yeah, previously, it was our luck that was good. But keep on being cannon fodder for him, it will be death eventually."


    ...


    Everyone''s discussion stopped and did not care about the two people currently in a tangled fight. All of them were heading over toward the depths.


    However, they discovered that this place seemed to really not have any danger!


    Along the way, so many of them actually did not encounter any bit of danger.


    This kind of feeling made them feel blissful to the extreme.


    For these martial artists to be able to cultivate to their present realm, who knew how many mystic realms they had braved before. Which time wasn''t a narrow escape from death before they could have today''s accomplishment?


    However, the situation this time, they had never encountered before.


    Moreover, this was the ruins of a Divine Dao sect. Logically speaking, it was impossible for this kind of situation to appear.


    However, it just happened.


    It was not that nobody suspected Ye Yuan, but it was just that in their opinion, this was simply something impossible.


    This was the ruins of a Divine Dao sect, who were you to trigger when you say trigger, not trigger when you said not trigger?


    This was a little too preposterous.


    In contrast, they were more willing to believe that their luck was good, encountering an empty shell.


    The great battle ceasing, Zhuge Qingxuan looked coldly at the Old Man Han covered in wounds all over next to him, and he said with a cold snort, "This bit of capabilities also dare to be arrogant in front of this seat! Today, on the account of Kanuo''s face, I''ll spare your life. If you offend again, I''ll definitely cut you down without mercy!"


    The current Old Man Han looked very miserable, looking like a rotten watermelon from head to toe, being beaten by Zhuge Qingxuan into a sieve.


    He looked at Zhuge Qingxuan rather apprehensively, very surprised by his might.


    Old Man Han was naturally aware of Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength. But he was also rather confident in his own strength.


    It was just that he did not expect, no idea what kind of means Lord Kanuo used, to actually let Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength improve to such a level within such a short time.


    One had to know that Zhuge Qingxuan did not become Lord Kanuo''s fiend slave and also did not cultivate the fiend path cultivation methods.


    What he used was still the Holy City''s most orthodox Brahma Heart Sutra!


    "Yes!" Old Man Han voiced out wholeheartedly convinced.


    He did not have Lord Kanuo''s means. With Zhuge Qingxuan''s current strength, he was absolutely capable of completely annihilating him.


    But he also became more confident in this trip''s mission.


    With Zhuge Qingxuan''s current strength, it should be sufficient to cut Ye Yuan down.


    After subduing Old Man Han, Zhuge Qingxuan the two of them continued heading towards the depths again.


    Except, they were as unlucky as before.


    Along the way, they practically set off all of the restrictions that could be set off.


    It was the ruins of a Divine Dao sect after all. Some restrictions, even if it was Zhuge Qingxuan, it was also a narrow shave with death before he could get out.


    As for Old Man Han, if not for the fiend race''s vitality being tenacious, he would had long died many times over.


    "Your Excellency, this is definitely not right! Most likely, it''s someone controlling these restrictions, waiting for us to go trigger! If I didn''t guess wrongly, it''s definitely Ye Yuan!" Old Man Han said with a black face.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s face was livid. Along the way, his injuries were not light either.


    Hearing Old Man Han mention it, he snorted coldly and said, "Still need you to say? Do you really take this seat to be a fool? Damn it! How in the world did this brat do it? That ancient Soul Refining Sect, even Lord Zuo Zong was very fearful too. This guy is actually able to control the restrictions here!"


    Only now did Zhuge Qingxuan know that it was truly with one misstep, every step turned wrong.


    In the beginning, letting Ye Yuan in, it was truly lifting a rock to crush his own feet.


    No idea what methods Ye Yuan used either to actually dig such a large pit for them.


    This kind of thing should not happen at all!


    ...


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly as he muttered to himself, "Looks like they finally realized it."


    "Big Brother, it''s already been so long, could it be that the restrictions here still can''t kill them?" White Light said in puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was profound as he said, "Looks like that Zhuge Qingxuan obtained considerable benefits from Kanuo there, his strength soaring by leaps and bounds. For ordinary restrictions to want to kill him, it''s likely not easy. Even if the current me faces off with him, I might not gain any advantage as well."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s faces change.


    To be able to make Ye Yuan say this sort of words, it seemed like Zhuge Qingxuan''s strength really improved a lot!


    "Your Excellency, this �� What to do here?" Ye Sheng asked hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, no big deal. The Soul Refining Sect is a Divine Dao sect at any rate. How can it be that easy for them to want to come out without a scratch? This young master already prepared a big feast for them. I hope that they savor it happily!"

 1233 Grand Banque

    "Mm? This �� Where is this?"


    "This place �� seems to be the Godsfall Mountain Range! We, we actually came back!"


    "Hahaha �� It''s really the Godsfall Mountain Range! We returned! We''re saved!"


    "Damn Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, let him go and see ghosts!"


    "Truly, heaven has eyes! Hahaha �� Let that damn Heaven Stabilizing Divine King die inside that tomb then!"


    ...


    The group of martial artists randomly walked around inside the tomb, but unknowingly exited the Soul Refining Sect space, and returned to the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    After they discovered this fact, each and every one of them was abnormally excited.


    Being chased into the tomb by Zhuge Qingxuan, each and every one of them already lost all hope.


    How could a Divine Dao sect''s tomb be that easy to venture into?


    But they did not even lose a single hair and came out just like that. How could they not be excited?


    After the excitement, their displeasure towards Zhuge Qingxuan also thoroughly erupted out, cursing Zhuge Qingxuan to die into one after another.


    "Hey, each and every one of you all, do you really think your fate is so good?" suddenly, a man stepped forward and said in a clear voice.


    Very soon, someone recognized who this person was.


    "It''s you! You''re that guy who impersonated the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and was beaten to a pig''s head by us! You �� you''re actually not dead!" someone cried out in surprise.


    This person was precisely Ye Sheng, who already came out from inside the Soul Refining Sect space.


    Everyone all knew that Ye Sheng followed Ye Yuan into the Soul Refining Sect space. Along the way, they did not see him either, and they even thought that he had already long died.


    They did not think that he actually exited the Soul Refining Sect space together with everyone bafflingly.


    Hearing this roar, Ye Sheng''s face also instantly fell.


    These guys were really rubbing it in!


    Not far away, Li-er and Lu-er also covered their mouths and laughed, being tickled by this scene.


    They also did not expect that this Ye Sheng suddenly ran out to tell the truth.


    They wanted to stop but was already too late.


    "You say that it''s not that our fate was good, why is that? I''m also curious, entering this tomb, we actually didn''t even see a ghost!" the person just now asked curiously.


    Seeing him questioned Ye Sheng, everyone perked their ears up and listened.


    Only then did they know that there was indeed more than met the eye.


    Otherwise, a Divine Dao sect''s ruins, how could there possibly be no danger at all?


    But Ye Sheng had a proud look at this time as if he was the savior.


    "For you guys to be able to come out, it''s all because the Heaven Surmounting Divine King controlled the entire Soul Refining Sect space, guiding you all one by one to walk out of the safe region! Otherwise, with just your bit of strength, absolutely not a single one can come out!" Ye Sheng said proudly.


    "Heaven Surmounting Divine King?! The Heaven Surmounting Divine King is actually here! That means that �� that person who offered to go up the mountain was really the Heaven Surmounting Divine King?" exclaimed the person.


    "That is, of course! Otherwise, what do you think? How can an exalted Divine Dao sect''s ruins not had any dangers at all?" Ye Sheng said.


    "Controlling a region of space! This �� How is this possible? This is the ruins of a Divine Dao space!"


    "It''s actually the Heaven Surmounting Divine King! The Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually took pity on existences like us! He''s the Divine Realm''s true leader!"


    "Heh, Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, Heaven Surmounting Divine King! The two people''s titles both carry a ''Heaven'' character. But this moral character, the disparity is truly too great!"


    ...


    Ye Sheng''s words immediately blew up in the crowd.


    At present, the Divine Realm''s strongest two mighty heaven''s chosen, one ordered them about to be cannon fodders, but the other saved all of them.


    By contrast, this difference was seriously too great.


    Ye Yuan controlled the entire space and could entirely let them run their own course.


    Letting so many people come out safe and sound, this definitely expended considerable effort.


    If it were them, they probably could not be bothered to do this sort of thing as well.


    After all, saving these people had no benefits to Ye Yuan at all.


    But Ye Yuan still did it.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan''s image in their hearts became incomparably huge.


    This was the demeanor that a man of great talent and virtue had!


    "But �� even you came out, so where''s �� Lord Ye Yuan?" Someone asked carefully.


    The corners of Ye Sheng''s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "His Excellency is still inside the Soul Refining Sect space, preparing a feast for Zhuge Qingxuan that punk! After today, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King �� will probably have his name removed from the books of the Divine Realm, hahaha ��"


    Thinking of the satisfaction, Ye Sheng could not resist roaring with laughter.


    He also detested Zhuge Qingxuan''s countenance greatly. Zhuge Qingxuan dying, he was naturally happy.


    The other people''s faces turned fearful when they heard that, but they also felt very thrilled in their hearts!


    This kind of person, it''s best if he died!


    ...


    Inside the Soul Refining Sect space, Zhuge Qingxuan and Old Man Han proceeded carefully along the way.


    "Seems like we haven''t run into restrictions for very long?" Old Man Han said.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s brows knitted tightly, and he said, "This isn''t some good thing! That boy might be up to something!"


    Currently, the two of them were meat on someone else''s chopping board.


    Even if they knew it was Ye Yuan controlling everything, there was nothing they could do either.


    Right now, they could only rely on their own powerful strength and try to break through forcefully.


    "The others are all gone already. Ten-to-one, they were brought away by Ye Yuan! I really can''t figure out how in the world did this boy do it? This is the ruins of an ancient Divine Dao sect!" Old Man Han said gloomily.


    "How he did it is already not important anymore! What''s important is how do we go out!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan was just speaking when suddenly, it lit up in front of the two people, arriving in a great hall.


    Array formations revolved around inside the great hall. An enormous coffin was placed in the center.


    Red light flickered inside the coffin, emitting undulations that made people''s hearts palpitate.


    Suddenly, a phantom flashed and appeared, making Zhuge Qingxuan, the two people''s faces, change.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    Seeing this phantom, the two people gnashed their teeth in hatred.


    It was just that they knew that this was merely a projection.


    "Huhu, how are the two of you! Congratulations to you guys, entering the core of the Soul Refining Sect! Inside this great hall, there exists the greatest essence of the Soul Refining Sect." Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.


    The more Ye Yuan talked, the uglier the two people''s faces.


    Zhuge Qingxuan said in a low voice, "Boy, make sure not to let this seat run into you! Otherwise, this seat will make you regret being born in this world!"


    But Ye Yuan was indifferently and said coolly, "Huhu, that will also have to wait until you guys have the life to go out and talk. This grand banquet, this young master has already prepared for you guys. Enjoy it well!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    Boom!


    The two people had yet to react to what was happening when a loud noise came over. The entire space started trembling.


    The rubble above the great hall fell down in succession.


    "Not good! This boy wants to destroy this space! Your Excellency, let''s hurry and go!" Old Man Han shouted.


    However, Zhuge Qingxuan took no notice of him at all.


    Old Man Han was very puzzled. Following his gaze and looking over, he discovered that a blood-red figure floated out above the coffin.


    Old Man Han''s gaze turned intent, feeling like his entire person was about to suffocate.


    This figure was too dangerous ��

 1234 Leader Disposition

    "This �� What the hell is this?"


    When Old Man Han saw that ghostly figure, he felt like goosebumps were going to break out all over his body.


    Too dangerous!


    "Undying evil ghost! I didn''t expect that there''s actually really this kind of damn thing! Damn this Ye Yuan! If you land in this seat''s hands, this seat definitely won''t let you die easily!" Zhuge Qingxuan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression was ugly to the max. He did not expect that there was really someone who could cultivate to become an undying evil ghost.


    This thing was too horrifying, unable to kill at all!


    Looking at the other party''s aura, even though his strength currently improved greatly, he actually had an impulse to turn tail and run too.


    He wished that he could swallow Ye Yuan''s flesh raw right now. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could escape from the hands of this existence in front of him!


    "This seat was buried deep here for a million years. Just a little more, and I can achieve an undying evil ghost body! You guys, to actually dare make this seat''s efforts fail short of success at the last step! Prepare �� to receive this seat''s wrath!"


    Li Gui''s voice seemingly came from the underworld.


    He who had just woken up instinctively thought that it was these two people before his eyes that destroyed this space, making his efforts fail at the last stage.


    This former peak Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse was the grand banquet that Ye Yuan left for Zhuge Qingxuan.


    The Soul Refining Sect coming into being, Li Gui''s undying evil ghost body was about to achieve grand completion.


    Ye Yuan inherited Absolute Heaven''s mantle. It was naturally impossible to let this sort of thing to happen.


    As for Zhuge Qingxuan, he sought refuge with the fiend race. Ye Yuan was naturally happy that he was killed.


    Therefore, he immediately directed this dog-eat-dog fine show, but he himself stepped out, leaving suavely.


    Old Man Han felt like his divine soul was about to leave his body. He was stared at by Li Gui like being stared at by a poisonous snake.


    "You''re mista-"


    Old Man Han had just thought of explaining when Li Gui''s figure already vanished from sight.


    Boom!


    Zhuge Qingxian had a frontal-exchange with Li Gui. The air billow that spread out immediately sent Old Man Han flying out.


    Zhuge Qingxuan cracked himself up to be an expert, but this blow also made his entire body almost fall apart.


    Space was still collapsing, but Li Gui did not seem to be aware of it at all, rushing over towards Zhuge Qingxuan crazily.


    A million years of bitter effort reduced to naught, how could he not be furious?


    The two people started an unparalleled great battle inside this Soul Refining Sect space that was about to be destroyed!


    ...


    There was a ripple in space. Ye Yuan walked out from within the void.


    "Many thanks for Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s life-saving grace!"


    There were probably thousands of martial artists before his eyes, standing until it covered the hills and dales.


    These people chorused in unison, kneeling down toward Ye Yuan. It was as if they had gone through a rehearsal before.


    The voice emitted by several thousand martial artists reverberated throughout the entire Godsfall Mountain Range, majestic and grand.


    This scene also made Ye Yuan involuntarily freeze.


    He completely did not expect that these people were actually waiting here and knelt down towards him collectively.


    Powerhouses capable of cultivating to the Dao Profound Realm, each and every one of them was a person arrogant at heart and haughty in manner.


    Making them kneel was even harder than ascending to heaven.


    But these several thousand martial artists before his eyes actually knelt down towards him without prior agreement. This made him greatly surprised.


    He could feel that these people were all grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts.


    At this time, Yue Mengli came forward to greet and said with a faint smile, "Ye Sheng that blabbermouth told them the matters of the Soul Refining Sect space."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a sudden realization and said in a clear voice, "All get up! You all don''t have to be like this. Me saving you all is in the hope that you guys put forth a portion more of effort for the human race if you all can have some gains in the Godsfall Mountain Range. I hope that you don''t be stingy with your strength. When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be intact? If this young master fails on the verge of success �� I hope that there''s someone among you all who can support the human race''s foundation! I won''t talk anymore about general principles, you all take care. Li-er, let''s go."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Li-er and the others away on their own without caring about the crowd with dumbfounded faces.


    Those martial artists all exchanged glances, all somewhat at a loss.


    In Ye Yuan''s words earlier, they actually carried a trace of melancholy.


    Didn''t he slay a fiendgod? How could those fiends be his match?


    Ye Yuan''s strength was already terrifying to this sort of degree, could it be that there was still someone capable of threatening him?


    Also, why did the Heaven Surmounting Divine King wanted to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range?


    A series of questions echoed inside everyone''s head.


    Prior to this, these people''s thoughts were all: if the sky fell down, there would be tall people supporting it.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King led the Mystic Gate to resist the fiend race, how could there be a need for them to worry about this sort of thing?


    Without a doubt, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s strength currently already had no way of measuring. He might even be more powerful than Zhuge Qingxuan.


    If the fiend race still had a powerhouse that even he could not handle as well, then �� the human race was really in a precarious situation already!


    "Could it be that the fiend race''s strongest aren''t the fiendgods? They were former Deity Realm powerhouses. Even stronger than them, what kind of existence does that have to be?"


    "No idea what kind of existence, but without a doubt, the human race is not looking well! I feel that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King did not burst out without reason just now. Seems like �� he really doesn''t have much confidence."


    "The Heaven Surmounting Divine King truly has the air of someone with great talent and virtue. I''ve always thought that one has to live for themselves. But seeing the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, I feel that my ripe old age was really utterly wasted on a dog!"


    "Truly ashamed! I''ve decided, if I can get out of this Godsfall Mountain Range alive, I''ll definitely join the Mystic Gate and fight to the bitter end with the fiend race!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan was aware of these Divine Realm martial artists'' virtues, so he did not talk more nonsense with them either.


    But he did not expect that his conduct actually deeply infected these martial artists, making them join the great army resisting the fiend race.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yuan''s body already had a leadership disposition similar to Absolute Heaven.


    This kind of temperament was not because his martial strength was powerful.


    This was a disposition that came from the soul. It could imperceptibly infect the people around, making many people gather around his side, forming a powerful group from there.


    A group formed like this had even greater combat power than a group formed by coercing with martial strength! Even more cohesive!"


    ...


    "Young Master, you were so cool just now!" Lu-er said excitedly by the side.


    The scene of several thousand people collectively giving thanks just now was truly too grand.


    Forget about Lu-er, even Ye Sheng they all, these old veterans, never saw before too.


    Even Ye Sheng was very surprised that these people would actually do this sort of thing.


    He did not discuss with those martial artists to deliberately display this kind of line-up.


    All of these were spontaneously done by those people.


    It was precisely because of so that it made Lu-er worship him even more.


    But Ye Yuan knew that the reason why those people would do such a thing was probably not just because he saved them.


    They were respecting his efforts for the human race and felt ashamed in their hearts. Plus, he saved them.


    Only like this could it make them give thanks in unison.


    In the end, it was just a debt in their hearts.


    Li-er also smiled and said, "Big Brother Yuan, I really didn''t expect that these selfish people would actually do such a thing!"

 1235 Stoneman

    Inside the forest, a beautiful figure and a desolate beast were locked in a fierce battle.


    That was a Hawk Beast. Its movements were extremely nimble, its strength extremely powerful, thoroughly suppressing that beautiful figure.


    Not far away, several figures were currently watching the fight and did not have the intention of making a move.


    "Icesoul Lotus!"


    The woman cried out sharply. An enormous ice lotus condensed above the sky, directly freezing that Hawk Beast.


    Her move succeeding, the girl''s face revealed a happy expression.


    It was just that very quickly, her expression became ugly.


    Crack! Crack!


    On that ice lotus, a fissure actually cracked open. The rift became larger and larger.


    Finally, with a crack, it was utterly shattered by the Hawk Beast.


    Condensing this ice lotus, the girl expended enormous amounts of essence energy. She did not expect that this still could not kill the Hawk Beast.


    At this time, she was already powerless to fight anymore.


    However, her face did not reveal much of a panicked expression. What there was, was just a face full of dissatisfaction.


    That Hawk Beast clearly suffered injuries too. It was just that its combat strength still had quite a bit remaining.


    Hence, it swept up a terrifying storm, tearing toward the girl.


    At this time, a figure suddenly appeared between the two. A domain opened up, and that storm was instantly scattered away.


    Immediately after, a sword slashed out. That Hawk Beast did not even get to escape and was directly annihilated.


    Lu-er pursed her lips and said with an unhappy look, "It''s young master making a move to save me again!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled with laughter and said, "This Hawk Beast strength is absolutely not beneath peak Void Mystic powerhouses. You''re only middle-stage Void Mystic currently and can already fight neck-to-neck with him. It''s already very impressive."


    Ye Yuan was not consoling Lu-er. He was really astonished by Lu-er''s talent.


    Along the way, the four people naturally encountered quite a few dangers while walking.


    But the majority of the time, it was all Lu-er taking action.


    Only when she could not resolve it would Ye Yuan make a move to settle it.


    Coming out from the Soul Refining Sect space, it was also merely a month''s time. Lue-er already broke through from initial-stage Void Mystic to middle-stage Void Mystic.


    This comprehension ability was truly rare in this world.


    Right now, the four people already unknowingly entered the void forbidden region. The risk factor also increased greatly.


    That Hawk Beast earlier was merely an appetizer.


    "But being together with Young Master, I''m forever a burden!"


    Lu-er had a depressed look. Young Master''s talent was too terrifying. No matter how hard she worked, she could not catch up.


    Forget about Young Master, even Li-er and White Light, her gap was huge too.


    So along the way, she worked very hard to improve herself. The goal was just in order to not be a burden.


    She did not wish to just be able to hide inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda every time she ran into danger.


    "How can Lu-er be a burden? If with you, there wouldn''t be the present Big Brother Yuan! Your role is what others are unable to replace. At times, even I''m somewhat jealous!" Li-er laughed as he came up to greet.


    Lu-er''s face turned red, and she said, "Big Sister Li-er, you''re teasing Lu-er again!"


    Ye Yuan looked towards Li-er rather gratefully. He then said to Lu-er with a smile, "Silly lass, what Li-er said is right! You''re the one and only, and also irreplaceable. You''re not some kind of a burden."


    Hearing everyone say so, only then did Lu-er''s displeasure turn to joy. Pulling Li-er''s hand, she said, "Big Sister Li-er, you don''t forget why Young Master almost fell into depravity. You really don''t know, I''ve never seen Young Master like that for a person before."


    The two girls chimed in one after another. Ye Yuan immediately felt his head swell and he hurriedly changed the topic, "Alright, it''s not early anymore. We still have to continue hurrying on our way. That mountain in front seems to be somewhat unusual. Everyone be a little more careful."


    This was not Ye Yuan deliberately saying, but it really was the case.


    That mountain ahead was incomparably deep, faintly transmitting a very dangerous aura.


    Ye Yuan comprehended Sudden Impulse and was very sensitive towards danger.


    This mountain was probably not easy to cross.


    Entering into the large mountain, this feeling became even more unbelievably intense.


    "Big Brother, it really seems to be not quite right! Along the way, there''s actually not even a bird feather!" White Light also perceived something amiss.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with a solemn face, "Everybody, be a little more careful."


    Right at this time, Lu-er suddenly cried out in surprise and said, "Young Master, you look! That boulder, isn''t it like a person?"


    Everyone followed the direction that Lu-er pointed at and looked over, and discovered that a rock on a cliff was indeed like a person sleeping.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned fearful, and he said, "Ignore it, let''s continue hurrying on our way!"


    That stone statue gave him a very dangerous feeling. Ye Yuan was naturally unwilling to provoke.


    If they were able to leave safe and sound, it was naturally the best.


    However, things did not always turn out as one wished. When they walked by the vicinity of the stone statue, suddenly, the entire huge mountain started quaking, as if it was an earthquake.


    Ye Yuan felt all the hairs on his body stand of its end. That stone statue actually slowly opened its eyes!


    "Quickly go!" Ye Yuan cried out fiercely, protecting the other three people so that they could withdraw first.


    Rumble ��


    Debris flew everywhere. That stone statue actually walked out of the rock and turned into a stone giant!


    This giant was over a hundred feet tall, its entire body made up of rocks.


    "Bold humans, to dare infringe upon my clan''s territory! Courting death!"


    The stoneman gave no chance to explain. A fist brandishing, it smashed toward Ye Yuan them all.


    Seeing this punch, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp.


    This stoneman''s fist actually carried the power of Divine Dao laws!


    If this punch landed on the other three people''s bodies, they would be severely injured if not dead.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm releasing brazenly!


    Boom!


    An enormous boom came over. With Ye Yuan''s might, he was actually pushed back several hundred feet as well.


    However, that stoneman was even more miserable.


    Under Ye Yuan''s palm, his figure fell back uncontrollably, sitting onto the ground with a plop, shaking the entire mountain until it trembled.


    "Haha, Young Master is mighty!"


    "Big Brother is formidable! This stoneman is so powerful and yet is actually not your match!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s display of invincible might, Lu-er and White Light both cheered loudly.


    However, Ye Yuan''s expression did not have any hint of delight with himself.


    He knew the might of his palm earlier. But that stoneman was actually completely unharmed!


    This guy''s defense was simply freakish to the max.


    "This human is so strong, everybody come on out!"


    That stoneman did not launch an attack straight away but called out loudly.


    Rumble ��


    The mountain body started trembling once more. Another stoneman walked out of the rock.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression changed greatly.


    This stoneman''s concept comprehension might not be as high as his, but the defense was freakishly powerful.


    One was still fine, several coming out at once, even he was not a match either.


    "Go!"


    Ye Yuan dragged Lu-er, his figure moved, displaying merging into heaven and earth straight away, and instantly arrived ten thousand feet away.


    Li-er and White Light''s face also changed drastically, following Ye Yuan closely and retreating.


    "Forget about leaving, humans!"


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Each step that the stonemen took, it quaked the ground until the earth trembled.


    Ye Yuan turned his head and looked, his expression could not help turning incomparably ugly. There were actually no less than 10 stonemen chasing after.


    Those stonemen looked incredibly clumsy. But their speed was incomparably strange and actually not much slower than them!

 1236 Accidentally Entering the Peach Blossom Fores

    "Flying rock!"


    The stoneman in the lead position suddenly shouted. The group of stonemen all stopped.


    But saw them seemingly perform conjuring tricks, plucking off a piece of stone from their bodies, lifting their hands, and throwing it over towards Ye Yuan and the rest.


    A terrifying undulation came over from behind. Ye Yuan could only stop his footsteps and answer the challenge.


    Over a dozen rocks arrived with a howl, akin to arrows whistling through the air.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, the Evil Extermination Sword suddenly striking.


    "Fury Sword Fire Lotus!"


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    A series of metal clashing sounds came over. The Evil Extermination Sword crossed swords with those rock chunks, scraping out fierce sparks.


    Ye Yuan''s figure received a tremendous impact and glided back several thousand feet before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    Even if his fleshy body was powerful, the webbing between his thumb and index finger was also shocked until it went numb.


    Except, with this delay, the four people already had their retreat paths utterly blocked off by the ten stonemen.


    "Lu-er, enter the Vast Heaven Pagoda," Ye Yuan said.


    Although unwilling, Lu-er also knew that this battle was already not what she could take part in.


    Putting Lu-er away inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Ye Yuan said to Li-er and White Light, "You guys, two each. Leave the rest to me! Don''t cling to the battle, once there''s a chance, immediately run!"


    "Ignorant human, do you think that you guys still have the chance to escape?" said a stoneman.


    Ye Yuan''s face turned dark, and he said to the stonemen, "We were just passing through your honorable land and had no intentions of offending. Why does your esteemed self pursue so relentlessly?"


    The stoneman gave a cold snort and said, "Humans, there''s not a good one! Enough crap, offer up your life!"


    These stonemen seemed to have an immense grudge toward humans. Without listening to any explanations at all, they made a move straight away.


    Those stonemen punched out like the wind. Each and every move actually carried the power of Divine Dao laws.


    Ye Yuan even suspected whether or not these guys were genuine Deity Realm powerhouses in the Divine Dao Era!


    However, these ten stonemen''s strength, it was clear that one in the front whose strength was the greatest.


    The others, their strengths were a notch inferior to him.


    If every one of them were so powerful, it would probably be hard for Li-er and White Light to have chances of winning.


    But even if there were just two, it was also very taxing for the two people to cope with it.


    What was damnable was that these guys'' defenses were seriously too perverse. Even receiving one of Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, it was also merely being knocked over onto the ground.


    Those guys prepared for a bit and plunged into the battle again like they were completely fine.


    Golden light flickered on Ye Yuan''s body. Relying on the power of the fleshy body and getting into a fierce battle with six stonemen, there was actually no distinction of superiority or inferiority for some time.


    Although those stonemen were strong, they were unable to break through the limits of Divine Dao too.


    Ye Yuan was already increasingly closer to grand completion at present. In the entire Divine Realm, it could be said that his strength was second only to Fang Tian.


    But at the rate of this declining trend, he was fine, but Li-er and White Light were bound to find it hard to sustain for long.


    "No way, got to think of a way to leave. At this time, we''ll be pummeled by them into meat paste sooner or later."


    Ye Yuan thought in his heart and suddenly arrived beside Li-er with greater teleportation.


    "Li-er, wait for me ahead!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s both palms struck out. Two Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palms gushed out, directly striking two stonemen flying out.


    Li-er and Ye Yuan already did not need much communication long ago, understanding without many words, and leaped out with a bound.


    "White Light!"


    Ye Yuan shouted loudly. White Light similarly understood tacitly.


    It was only to see him suddenly roared out. A punch suddenly rumbled out.


    "Fierce Tiger Heavenly Tyrant Fist!"


    A terrifying white tiger phantom appeared, forcefully repelling the two stonemen back over a dozen steps.


    Borrowing the recoil strength, White Light''s figure sped away hastily, chasing after Li-er''s footsteps and leaving the battlefield.


    All of this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. Those stonemen had yet to catch up, but they already heard a dragon roar surged to the sky!


    "Voice of the Dragon God!"


    Ye Yuan used his ace in the hole. Within this area, it attacked indiscriminately!


    The figures of the ten stonemen immediately stiffened there quiveringly!


    These stonemen simply had no weaknesses to exploit. Regardless whether was it essence energy martial techniques or body-refinement martial techniques, it virtually had no effect on them.


    Only this Voice of the Dragon God that crushed everything had an effect on them!


    Bang �� Boom �� Boom ��


    Those stonemen''s bodies were completely piled up using rocks. But at this time, those rocks were actually falling apart!


    Boom!


    Finally, a stoneman could not withstand the Voice of the Dragon God''s power, his entire body collapsed with a loud bang, disintegrating directly!


    Rumble! Rumble!


    One stonemen after another was dismantled by the Voice of the Dragon God just like that. Even that strongest one was no exception either.


    One breath, two breaths!


    Ten stonemen were all shocked by the Voice of the Dragon into piles of rock debris.


    Huff huff ��


    Ye Yuan panted heavily for air; the feeling of his entire body aching immediately hit.


    Unless there was no other option, he was really unwilling to deploy this martial technique.


    Powerful was powerful, it was just that the sequela of using it was also rather agonizing.


    At this time, he only wished to find a place and have a good sleep.


    He took a look at those shattered rock pieces and was just about to leave, but all of a sudden, his face changed.


    Those shattered rubble pieces actually started moving on its own!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Under Ye Yuan''s dumbfounded gaze, those rocks actually pieced together once more!


    Could these guys be of undying bodies?


    His Voice of the Dragon God was even able to shock Yue Ji to death, but it actually could not shock these stonemen to death!


    "@#����%% ��"


    Ye Yuan could not refrain from swearing. Dragging his exhausted body, he hurried away from here.


    When these guys finished piecing together, he would not even be able to run.


    Ahead, Li-er and White Light were currently waiting for Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan''s appearance, they hurriedly went forward to support him.


    "How is it, Big Brother? Even the Void of the Dragon God was used. Those clunks should all be shattered already, right?" White Light said with a smile.


    Speechlessly, Ye Yuan said, "Quickly leave! Still don''t go, it will be too late!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the two people''s faces change drastically.


    With the way Ye Yuan was currently, how could they still be those ten stonemen''s match?


    At once, without the slightest hesitation, they brought Ye Yuan and fled speedily.


    "Big Brother, this �� What in the world is going on?" White Light said in bewilderment.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very ugly, recounting the events that just transpired. The two people were both speechless.


    Those stonemen were a bit too freakish, right?


    "Big Brother, there''s a peach blossom forest ahead!" White Light suddenly said.


    "Go in!" Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly instructing White Light to enter the peach blossom forest.


    However, the miraculous thing was that the stonemen pursued relentlessly, but after they saw that they entered this forest, they actually did not chase inside anymore!"


    "Lord Stonebrave, this human is so strong! That roar could actually dismantle us!" A stoneman said to the leader.


    Stonebrave said, "This human is rather extraordinary! That roar earlier seems like the Voice of the Dragon God of the legends! Strange, he''s clearly a human, why would he know the dragon race''s paramount martial technique? Forget it, since they entered this peach blossom forest, they definitely can''t come out anymore. Don''t need to care about them anymore, let''s go back. Recently, the abnormalities in the Godsfall Mountain Range are quite a few. Most likely, Patriarch is also going to wake up."

 1237 Trap

    "Big Brother, it seems like those stonemen didn''t chase over. We''re saved," White Light said with a lingering fear in his heart.


    But Ye Yuan''s expression was not too good.


    "Most likely, we''ve just escaped the tiger''s maws, but entered the wolves den again!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    White Light froze, somewhat puzzled.


    Wasn''t this just a peach blossom forest in front of them?


    Seeing his puzzled look, Ye Yuan said, "We''ve already entered another space. This peach blossom forest secretly encompasses the Dao of Array Formations. Furthermore, it''s incomparably profound. Even for me, it''s hard to resolve it too!"


    White Light shock was by no means insignificant. Only then did he carefully size up this peach blossom forest.


    It was just a pity that he was completely clueless about array formations and could not perceive anything at all.


    "Don''t scare me, Big Brother!" White Light said speechlessly.


    Ye Yuan said powerlessly, "Scare you for what? With the peach trees as the formation base, laying down such a large formation, the person who set the formation was truly remarkable! If I didn''t guess wrongly, this array formation was probably left behind by a Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    White Light said in surprise, "No way, right? It''s just some ordinary peach trees, who cares what large formation. Just directly burn it, and wouldn''t it be done?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Can''t be burned! A moment of carelessness, and it will manipulate the fire and immolate yourself!"


    White Light expression turned fearful and finally knew the seriousness of the matter.


    He knew that Ye Yuan would not ramble nonsense. Even with Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao, he could not break this array formation. It could be imagined how terrifying this array formation was.


    "Then what should we do now, Big Brother?"


    "Wait for me to recover strength first!" Ye Yuan said.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan''s sequela faded away completely. Only then did he size this peach blossom forest up meticulously. The more he looked, the more alarmed he got.


    Before their eyes, there were three paths that could be taken.


    Ye Yuan looked for a long time but kept not daring to move.


    This peach blossom forest looked tranquil, but Ye Yuan knew that if he took one wrong step, it would arouse a fearsome killing trap.


    White Light looked at Ye Yuan nervously by the side and also did not dare speak up to interrupt.


    He discovered that on Ye Yuan''s forehead, fine sweat beads actually faintly surfaced!


    It could be seen that Ye Yuan''s deduction was not that smooth.


    This stop was 24 hours, an entire day''s time!


    If it were before, White Light would not dare believe it at all that Ye Yuan had to spend such a long time to move one step inside the array formation.


    It seemed like this array formation was truly extraordinary.


    "Huuuu ��"


    Following Ye Yuan spitting out a long breath of air, White Light''s nerves also eased up.


    While Li-er lightly wiped away the sweat beads on Ye Yuan''s forehead, her eyes were full of sympathy.


    Previously, Ye Yuan gave his full attention to study the array formation. She did not dare to go and interrupt either.


    "How is it, Big Brother? Which path should we take?" White Light asked.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was somewhat weary, but he still forcefully roused his spirits and said, "This one on the right, it should be safe."


    White Light did not notice, but Li-er looked at Ye Yuan with mild surprise.


    He actually used ''should'' this term, and not definitely!


    Ye Yuan examined things for a full day''s time, and what he gave was actually just an ambiguous answer.


    This array formation really incredible!


    "I''ll go first!" Li-er spoke up without the slightest hesitation.


    Finished talking, she opened up her footsteps, wanting to step on this right path.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh, knowing that Li-er''s thoughts were meticulous and saw through the flaws in his words. This was going to test the formation with her body.


    Looking as Li-er was about to step onto that path, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ye Yuan''s mind!


    "Hold on!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.


    Li-er''s foot was already halfway stepped out already. Once it landed, she would have thoroughly stepped onto that path.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s yell, she involuntarily withdrew her footstep.


    "What is it, Big Brother Yuan?" Li-er said puzzledly.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan''s body was already drenched in sweat. That foot landing, Li-er''s life would be gone!


    "Sorry, Li-er, almost harmed you. That road is similarly a dead end! This array formation has killing intent hidden everywhere. I had a flash of inspiration just now and suddenly discovered that this path is actually a flaw that the array formation deliberately revealed!"


    Ye Yuan had a look of lingering fear in his heart. The seemingly magnificent and gorgeous peach blossom forest actually surged with undercurrents.


    One misstep, and it would mean perishing and Dao dissipating.


    And just earlier, Ye Yuan discovered that the result he deduced for an entire day, was actually a flaw deliberately made by the grand array!


    If Li-er''s step was taken, they would forever be separated by life and death!


    But Li-er smiled without a care and said, "Big Brother Yuan is pitting skills with a Deity Realm Formations Dao powerhouse here. Not being sure is also normal, why is there a need to apologize to me? Moreover, aren''t I perfectly fine? At least this first round, it''s Big Brother Yuan who won!"


    Ye Yuan secretly sighed. Li-er was always so composed and magnanimous and did not even bat an eyelid when braving fire and flood for him.


    Having such a wife, what else did a husband need?


    He already had a decision in his mind, if he could pacify the fiend calamity, he would definitely give Li-er a glorious wedding!


    White Light also secretly lamented at the narrow shave and asked, "Big Brother, this path isn''t right, then which path should we take?"


    "None of the paths are correct!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    White Light and Li-er were both stunned, somewhat uncertain what it meant.


    Ye Yuan extended his finger and pointed in a direction, saying, "Go from here."


    The two people were stunned again because the direction that Ye Yuan pointed had no path at all!


    "Big Brother, this ��" White Light said at a loss.


    Ye Yuan did not explain, immediately moving forward.


    Right at this time, a scene that made White Light and Li-er astonished happened.


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared right in front of them just like this!


    The two people exchanged a glance and also caught up with Ye Yuan''s footsteps, walking over in that direction.


    The two people only felt a blur before their eyes. Indeed, they passed through from inside a space.


    But what made them astounded was that the scene before their eyes was exactly the same as what they saw previously.


    This made them have an illusion as if they returned to where they were again!


    "Big Brother Yuan, what''s going on here? Could it be that these peach blossoms are all illusions?" Li-er asked with a surprised look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When the real is treated as an illusion, the illusion is even more real than the truth. When what doesn''t exist is treated as something that exists, that fabricated truth is even more real than the truth that exists! It''s just that the level of the person who laid down the formation is too high, with peach blossoms as the medium, dividing this space into countless fragments. What we need to do is to walk out through the only one survival path from among these countless fragments! Uh �� just like walking through a maze."


    The two people were shocked when they heard it. To be able to use ordinary peach blossoms and lay down such an exquisite grand array, the means of the person who set the formation was truly inconceivable.


    The means of Deity Realm powerhouses were totally not what they were able to surmise.


    Receiving the stimulation of Li-er''s scene earlier, Ye Yuan swept away the decadence from before. That powerful self-confidence returned to him once again!


    Ye Yuan could sense that the person who set the formation was absolutely someone with extraordinary Formations Dao strength.


    He deduced step by step, but still almost fell into that Deity Realm powerhouse''s trap in the end.


    Facing this grand array, he felt like he was crossing swords with that array deity powerhouse.


    Receiving Li-er''s stimulus, Ye Yuan was currently surging with fighting-intent, and was bent on breaking this array formation!


    So what if deity realm powerhouse?


    Today, I, Ye Yuan, am going to extinguish the domineering influence of a Deity Realm powerhouse!

 1238 You Guys Move Aside, Let Me!

    "Big Brother, where should we go this time?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out of comprehending the array formation, White Light could not resist going up to ask.


    While at this time, three days had already passed since they entered this second space!


    This second step, Ye Yuan actually used three times the time of the first step.


    Actually, the way White Light and Yue Mengli saw it, the scenery before their eyes was exactly the same as the first step. There was no difference at all.


    But it was precisely because so that the difficulty of studying the array formation was even greater.


    "Center!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan walked in from that path in the middle without the least bit of hesitation.


    White Light and Yue Mengli did not dare to dawdle, following closely behind.


    For the third step space, Ye Yuan used six days'' time before comprehending fully.


    But fourth step space, Ye Yuan used a full half a month''s time!


    White Light did not dare to interrupt Ye Yuan''s comprehension and could not resist grumbling to Li-er softly, "My God! At the rate of this speed, when we get out, the fiend race would probably have long unified the Divine Realm already!"


    Actually, Li-er was also weighed down with worry. It was just that she did not express it out like White Light.


    A month''s time had already gone by now, they had not even walked out of the fourth step space.


    This kind of speed was not much faster than a tortoise crawling either.


    At this rate, it was really as White Light said, even if they went out, it would also be too late already.


    But she also knew that the Formations Dao profundities that this divine rank grand array contained was too complicated and disorderly. Wanting to thoroughly comprehend was not so easily achieved.


    One could tell from the first step space, who knew how many traps were hidden inside this grand array.


    Ye Yuan needed to identify carefully before he could ensure the safety of the next step.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan, who was currently meditating with his eyes closed, opened both eyes and walked over towards a cluster of peach blossoms.


    Fifth step space, Yue Mengli duo thought that Ye Yuan needed to spend even more time to ascertain the next step''s action.


    However, they did not expect that Ye Yuan only used two hours and took action.


    "Big Brother Yuan, what''s happening here? Could it be that �� you''ve already cracked the array formation?" Yue Mengli said in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can cracking the array formation be easy? But wanting to pass through this peach blossom forest shouldn''t pose a problem anymore!"


    This one month plus of comprehension could be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds for Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao attainments.


    Divine Dao array formations were hard to understand. If somebody else was here, they probably could not even accomplish learning the rudiments.


    But Ye Yuan''s Formations Dao level had long already reached the threshold of Divine Dao.


    Lu Linfeng''s Formations Path Nine Scripts'' ninth level was a true Divine Dao array formation!


    That was why Ye Yuan and Lu Linfeng''s Formations Dao great battle that day, when Lu Linfeng was prepared to use the ninth level, Ye Yuan took the initiative to admit defeat.


    This time, Li-er was almost killed by the grand array. But it thoroughly stimulated Ye Yuan, maximizing his potential to the greatest limits.


    This one month''s time, Ye Yuan devoted his entirety to comprehending and finally took that last step, comprehending Divine Dao array formation laws.


    Although extremely shallow, it opened up a brand new world to Ye Yuan.


    This way, the speed of Ye Yuan cracking this peach blossom array formation was countless times faster than before.


    Ten days later, the three people only felt a blur before their eyes. The scenery before their eyes finally changed for the first time.


    This one month plus time, it was peach blossoms as far as their eyes could see.


    No matter how beautiful the scenery, aesthetic fatigue appeared too.


    Moreover, even though the peach blossoms were beautiful, it concealed killing intent.


    Especially White Light, he was almost about to puke from looking at the peach blossoms.


    "This damn peach blossom forest, this little lord, I, am never entering inside again! In the future, as long as I see a peach blossom forest, this little lord will definitely burn it!" White Light said with a gloomy look.


    This one month plus time, he was really almost going insane.


    Because the scenery of every space was all completely identical.


    No matter which space he walked to, it was all those three paths in front of him.


    This guy who laid down the formation was simply a pervert.


    "Eh, what''s this place? It''s so beautiful, simply like a paradise!" Yue Mengli suddenly said in surprise.


    Puhwark!


    White Light finally could not resist and vomited large mouthfuls.


    Ye Yuan and Li-er exchanged a glance, and both could not resist laughing out loud.


    Logically speaking, it was absolutely impossible for White Light this kind of powerhouse to vomit. But the psychological impact this one month plus had on him was seriously too great.


    White Light rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You guys are still laughing! I''m warning you, you''re absolutely not allowed to say ''peach blossom,'' these two words, in front of me in the future �� Bleurgh!"


    After a bout of joking around, the three people finally sized up this area in front of them.


    This place was indeed like a paradise; green hills and clear waters, beautiful scenery.


    Most importantly, this place was full of essence energy. It was not inferior to the Divine Realm''s super holy lands.


    "Big Brother Yuan, this place doesn''t look like the Godsfall Mountain Range! Could it be that we returned to the Divine Realm?" Li-er said curiously.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Doesn''t look like it! I feel that this place is another independent space, just like the Soul Refining Sect space; independent outside of the Divine Realm."


    "Is it possible that this place is also a certain Divine Dao sect''s ruins? Looking at this appearance, it''s not that kind of heretic path sect. It shouldn''t be dangerous, right?" White Light finally stopped puking and came up to interject.


    "That''s not necessarily. The more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it may be. This one month plus, haven''t you experienced it as well?" Ye Yuan said.


    White Light''s expression changed, the optimism from before swept clean immediately.


    Yeah, inside this Godsfall Mountain Range, would there be a not-dangerous place?


    "Big Brother, how about we go back?" White Light said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If we could go back, why would I spend one month plus to barge through the formation? This array formation is one-directional. Being able to walk out is already a miracle. Want to turn back, not unless the person who laid down the formation personally lead the way."


    "This �� What to do here?" White Light said depressedly.


    "Since we came, might as well stay and make the best of it. Why not go in and take a look. Maybe there are some unexpected harvests," Ye Yuan said.


    The party moved carefully between the mountains and rivers, but they did not encounter any dangers. This made the three people''s hearts relaxed slightly.


    Moving past a mountain, what surprised them was that there were actually several figures that intruded into their sights.


    "Big Brother, there are people! Seems to be �� demon race! Odd, why would there be demons here?" White Light said wonderingly.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was similarly incomparably bewildered.


    Far away, several demons were currently sparring with each other, fighting in full swing.


    This independent space actually still had the demon race that existed!


    Those few people clearly also discovered Ye Yuan and co. on top of the mountain, their figures moving, speeding over here.


    Ye Yuan and the rest were just thinking of going up to say hello, but they did not expect that those few demons'' faces changed. They said fiercely, "It''s humans! How can humans appear?! Kill!"


    Those few people gave them no chance to explain and actually directly chose to attack.


    White Light and Li-er were just about to make a move but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    "Let them hit. Not being aware of this place''s depths, better not to make a move. You guys move aside. Let me deal with this," Ye Yuan said coolly.

 1239 Divine Beast Realm

    "What kind of a freak is this guy?"


    "E-Exhausting me to death!"


    "Can''t, I can''t anymore! I �� I can''t muster up a trace of essence energy anymore!"


    These few people wailed their lungs out. They unleashed all of their abilities but was still unable to shake Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    The looks that they currently looked at Ye Yuan with at this time were full of fear and shock.


    This person was too strong!


    He stood there unmoved and did not even attack, and they were already tired out.


    This way of fighting was simply too despairing.


    Ye Yuan approached with a smile, looking at them.


    Those few demons almost jumped up like they had their tails stepped on.


    "Y-Y-You �� What are you doing? I''m warning you, our young patriarch is very formidable! When he comes over, you''re dead for sure!"


    Ye Yuan was smiling, but in their eyes, it was like a weasel greeting the chicken happy new year.


    "Your young patriarch? You have the dragon race, tiger race, phoenix race, among you all. I''m very curious about what kind of existence your young patriarch is."


    Ye Yuan had long seen through that these few demons were actually almost pooling together the Four Symbols Family Clans.


    Could it be that inside this space, there was still another Four Symbols Family Clans?


    These people''s strength were not strong, just initial-stage Tier 9.


    But their age was not considered old either. In the demon race, they could absolutely count as geniuses.


    But their overall strength was more than a magnitude stronger than the demon race outside.


    "I-If you have the guts, let us go. When our young patriarch comes, you''ll definitely get it!" said one of them.


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Okay, I''ll let you guys go and wait right here for your young patriarch to come."


    Those few people were akin to being granted amnesty when they heard and fled helter-skelter.


    "Big Brother, this place is so strange!" White Light said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This place seems to be �� rather interesting."


    Before long, those few demons who fled previously returned again.


    But this time, there were a lot more that came together with them.


    A group of people surrounded a young man. That young man had a haughty look, but his strength was not weak; already peak Tier 9.


    But this bit of strength, Ye Yuan naturally did not place it in his sights.


    "You''re the human who barged into the Divine Beast Realm and even injured my clan members? Now, are you prepared for a reckoning?"


    That young man thought nothing of Ye Yuan at all. With his strength, dealing with a human initial-stage divine king, wasn''t it capturing with ease?


    Ye Yuan did not reply the other party''s question, but he said with great interest, "So, this place is called the Divine Beast Realm. No wonder there are so many Four Symbols Family Clans'' demons. It''s just, I wonder what relationship is there between you guys and the Divine Realm''s Four Symbols Family Clans?"


    "Insolence! Young Patriarch is asking you a question, what''s with your attitude?" someone immediately berated by the side.


    Young Patriarch''s face also darkened.


    He was arrogant, but that one opposite was even more arrogant than him!


    He discovered that Ye Yuan did not take him, this young patriarch, seriously at all.


    While at this time, there was someone in the crowd with shifty eyes swiveling around, currently sizing Ye Yuan up carefully.


    "I-I-It''s �� It''s you! Y-Y-You �� Why are you here?!" exclaimed that person suddenly.


    The young patriarch frowned, with his face revealing displeasure as he said solemnly, "You know him?"


    At this time, everyone all revealed curious looks.


    That clan member was called Long Zhen. Among them, he was not considered very outstanding.


    Back then, going out to have a trial, he was even pummeled black and blue and came back. This matter was the Divine Beast Realm''s laughing stock for a very long time.


    It was just that time passed, his talent also gradually exhibited, and he also hugged Young Patriarch''s thigh, that was why everyone did not dare to make fun of him.


    Long Zhen seemed to be somewhat afraid of Ye Yuan and said with an ugly expression, "He �� He''s that punk who impersonated the dragon lord back then in the Endless World!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned, and immediately burst out laughing.


    "Hahaha �� Long Zhen, you wouldn''t have eaten the wrong medicine, right? You''re saying that this is the person who bashed you into a pig''s head back then? How can a Lower Realms'' aboriginal possibly show up in the Divine Beast Realm?"


    "Long Zhen, looks like a considerable psychological shadow was left on you back then! Now, when you see a human, you take him to be that person."


    "Yeah, just how many years had passed, how can a human possibly cultivate to initial-stage Divine King?"


    ...


    Those clan members all made fun of Long Zhen. They totally did not believe that Ye Yuan was that guy who pummeled him into a pig''s head back then.


    However, the astonishment in Ye Yuan''s heart was not the slightest bit lesser than Long Zhen''s.


    Just now, when Long Zhen cried out, he felt that he looked familiar.


    Later, hearing their conversation, he was even more shocked.


    The one who was similarly unbelievably shocked was also White Light.


    He also knew about the matter of Ye Yuan thrashing the dragon lord back then. He did not expect that they actually met here!


    The two people exchanged a glance, both revealing a look of incredulity.


    Could it be that this place was actually �� behind that Dark Forest?


    This was also a little too miraculous, right?


    "You guys �� Why don''t you guys believe me? He �� He''s really that punk!" Long Zhen could not help saying vexedly and angrily.


    Young Patriarch gave a cold snort and said coolly, "No matter who he is, for a human showing up here, there''s only one outcome. That is death!"


    Done talking, Young Patriarch lifted his hand, and it was a palm move. The sound of a dragon roar came howling out.


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Seeing this move, Ye Yuan smiled, even White Light smiled.


    Even Li-er who was quiet also smiled.


    Showing off in the presence of an expert was talking about this, right?


    Ye Yuan unleashed a palm casually, similarly the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    One palm unleashing, the clan members on the Divine Beast Realm''s side all visibly changed countenance.


    How could this human know the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm?


    However, they already could not afford to over-think anymore.


    Two azure dragons met on a narrow path, looking like the commotion would rend the air.


    But sadly, the young patriarch''s azure dragon was immediately crushed.


    Dealing with the young patriarch, Ye Yuan did not even need to utilize the divine rank dragon wave.


    He possessed a Nine Transformations Golden Body. Casually displaying a martial technique, the power was also not what the average person could withstand.


    Clearly, the young patriarch did not have this qualification yet.


    Boom!


    Young Patriarch was directly sent flying out.


    "You �� How do you know the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm?"


    Ye Yuan did not deal a killing blow. That young patriarch just suffered some light injuries. But the astonishment in his heart could not be put into words.


    "Just the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, is it very rare?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Everyone was speechless.


    Was it not rare?


    In this Divine Beast Realm, those able to cultivate the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, this kind of divine technique, could be counted on one hand.


    The young patriarch was one of them.


    This kind of Divine Dao martial technique was not what ordinary people could cultivate.


    But Ye Yuan''s attainments on this path was clearly more than a grade higher than Young Patriarch.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was posturing. Actually, Ye Yuan was just stating a fact.


    Voice of the Dragon God, this martial technique, was god knows how many times stronger than the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Furthermore, the dragon race Divine Dao martial techniques that Ye Yuan grasped were far from just these.


    "Now, can you answer this young master''s question? Actually, I just want to know what kind of region this place is," Ye Yuan asked coolly as he looked at everyone whose shock were incapable of increasing further.

 1240 Four Great Elders Moving out Simultaneously!

    Ye Yuan asked everyone very amiably, but the other party was fearful as if they were facing a tiger. They were actually collectively scared until they fell back several steps.


    "You �� You �� Don''t come over!"


    Long Zhen was pissing his pants in fear. Ye Yuan really had a psychological shadow on him.


    The matters back then caused an indelible impression on him.


    Originally, he thought that he could already get over it. He did not expect that this devil appeared once more!


    This person was simply his nightmare.


    Seeing these fellows'' expressions, Ye Yuan could not help being speechless.


    He was really very curious about whether or not this place was really the space behind the Dark Forest.


    It was just that these guys were clearly frightened by his strength.


    But he really did not have ill-intent!


    "Hey, you''re called Long Zhen, right? Can you tell me whether or not this place is the Dark Forest? Can one pass through to the Endless World from here?" Ye Yuan asked with a radiant smile.


    He took a step forward. Those guys were like startled rabbits, finally could not bear the psychological pressure, and escaped with their tails tucked between their legs.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help feeling helpless.


    "Come on, am I so scary? This young master hasn''t even made a move yet, alright?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    White Light chortled with laughter and said, "These guys are really cowards, throwing away our Four Symbols Family Clans'' face."


    Li-er smiled and said, "Big Brother Yuan, you didn''t attack, but they got badly frightened by your strength. The peak Tier 9 young patriarch could not even last past one move under your hands. How could they not be scared?"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Looks like I can only use force."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, vanishing from where he originally was.


    The young patriarch was currently fleeing speedily when suddenly, a surge of terrifying sword intent locked onto him.


    The young patriarch''s hairs stood on its ends. He seemed to have seen the death god currently beckoning to him.


    But unexpectedly, he was even more like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring, wanting to escape.


    "Keep running and die!"


    Ye Yuan''s words seemingly came out from the underworld, shattering his fantasies.


    The young patriarch''s footsteps abruptly stopped. He discovered that a young man was currently looking at him coldly.


    As for the rest, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care at all, allowing them to leave freely.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, the things that this young patriarch might know was a little more.


    ...


    "H-H-Head �� Head Elder, things are bad!"


    When everyone returned to the clan, there was immediately hysteria, startling the entire clan.


    "Shouting and wrangling, where lies the sense of propriety! With this seat around, even the sky can''t fall!" Head Elder Long Yan said with an unhappy look.


    Hearing Head Elder''s steady-as-Mount Tai voice, everyone''s hearts settled down a little.


    "Head Elder, it''s really that things are bad! There �� There''s a human that broke into our Divine Beast Realm! Furthermore �� Furthermore ��" Talking to the back, Long Zhen became hesitant in speech.


    Long Yan''s expression also changed. Humans breaking into the Divine Beast Realm had not happened in god knows how many years.


    "Furthermore what, speak!" Long Yan said solemnly.


    "Furthermore, he captured Young Patriarch!" Long Zhen said hesitantly.


    The young patriarch was Long Yan''s grandson.


    Sure enough, the moment Long Yan heard, he could not help flying into a great rage.


    "What an arrogant human, trespassing my Divine Beast Realm, and even dared to detain my grandson, this is seeking death! Who''s the other party? Could it be that he barged in through the Lower Realms'' spatial channel?" Long Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Long Zhen shook his head and said, "N-No idea. But he came from the direction of the Peach Blossom Forest."


    Long Yan''s eyes glared and he said in disbelief, "What? This is impossible! The Peach Blossom Forest was an array formation that Ancestor personally laid down. Unless it''s a Deity Realm powerhouse who came personally, otherwise, there''s absolutely no way to pass through!"


    Long Zhen said with a bitter smile, "Head Elder, I don''t know either! Maybe he barged in from the Lower Realms. It''s just, I don''t know how he walked to the Peach Blossom Forest that side. Mm, it should be like this. After all, he had once entered the Endless World''s God Prohibited Demon Region before."


    Head Elder was stunned and said, "You know him?"


    Long Zhen nodded his head and briefly recounted the grudge with Ye Yuan. Only then did Head Elder come to a realization.


    "Humph! No matter who he is, to dare detain Chun-er, it''s a one way ticket to hell! Go, bring me to go see him!" Long Yan said.


    The moment Long Yan went out, three other figures came up to welcome.


    "Why are the three of you here too?" Long Yan said.


    In this Divine Beast Realm, the four great clans lived together. But each clan was managed separately.


    These three people in front were precisely the other three major races'' head elders.


    "We heard that there''s a human who broke into this place. Furthermore, his strength isn''t weak and even detained Long Chun, so we were planning to go take a look. We know that you want to go, so we came over together to find you," the tiger clan''s head elder said.


    Long Yan did not hesitate either and said with a nod, "May as well, come on!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan tried both hard and soft tactics and finally learned the information that he wanted from Long Chun''s mouth.


    It turned out that this place was actually really behind the Dark Forest!


    Back then, he and White Light had once investigated the peripherals of the Dark Forest before. But the undulation coming from the Dark Forest made them unable to cross at all.


    Therefore, the idea of wanting to come in and take a look was also grounded.


    He did not expect that after a time interval of many years, they actually used this sort of method and entered the Dark Forest.


    This place was actually another space. Furthermore, there even lived another group of Four Symbols Family Clans!


    What Ye Yuan did not expect even more was that not only was this place connected to the Lower Realms, it was even linked to the Divine Realm''s Godsfall Mountain Range.


    This Divine Beast Realm was simply too magical.


    Ye Yuan got to understand from Long Chun that the Divine Beast Realm did not just link to the Endless World, there were even quite a number of other small worlds.


    The demonic beasts inside the God Prohibited Demon Region were originally all living in the Divine Beast Realm.


    But following the propagation of the various races, the Divine Beast Realm could not accommodate so many clansmen anymore.


    Hence, the Divine Beast Realm''s demon race connected their space to the Lower Realms'' space with a great divine ability. They then banished some impure demon species to the Lower Realms'' God Prohibited Demon Region.


    Just like this, no idea how many years had passed, the outside world''s God Prohibited Demon Region had already completely forgotten that they had once originated from the Divine Beast Realm.


    Toward the trial-takers that came out from inside the Dark Forest, they held them in awe and veneration.


    Hence, it developed into this current situation.


    From Long Chun''s mouth, Ye Yuan even got to know that this Divine Beast Realm still had an extremely mysterious ancestor.


    Ye Yuan was very curious about this mysterious ancestor. It was just a pity that this ancestor, even Long Chun had not seen before either.


    So much so that he even doubted the ancestor''s existence.


    However, Long Chun said that this Peach Blossom Forest was personally set up by the ancestor, in order to cut off from the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    For so many years, no one had entered the Divine Beast Realm from the Godsfall Mountain Range before.


    Long Chun did not think that today, Ye Yuan actually passed through the Peach Blossom Forest and arrived here!


    As for this Divine Beast Realm''s origins, it was no longer possible to investigate. Even Long Chun, this young patriarch, had no way of knowing too.


    But Ye Yuan felt that the demon race of the Divine Beast Realm and the Divine Realm were most probably closely related!


    Hearing these contents, Ye Yuan and White Light were both deeply shocked.


    Both of them did not expect that the Divine Realm actually still had such a mysterious land.


    Looks like this Divine Beast Realm was also filled with secrets!

 1241 Four Symbols Resonance!

    "Hey, the person who''s saving you is here," Ye Yuan looked at Long Chun and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Long Chun''s dead eyes finally had a hint of sheen.


    "Grandfather! Quickly save me, Grandfather!"


    Long Chun saw Long Yan and practically used all the strength in his body to shout.


    Only when Long Yan saw that his grandson was safe and sound, did his heart settle down slightly.


    But immediately, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with killing intent.


    This human brat actually dared provoke the majesty of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts. What was this if it wasn''t seeking death?"


    "Brat, let Chun-er go if you''re sensible, I''ll leave you an intact corpse!" Long Yan said fiercely to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan could not help finding it funny when he heard. Could this old man have stayed inside this confined space for too long, to not even know about the ways of the world?


    Was this how you asked for someone?


    You even wanted to leave me with an intact corpse, I still have to let your grandson go?


    However, Ye Yuan really did that.


    Ye Yuan lifted his leg and kicked Long Chun''s buttocks, immediately sending him flying out.


    "ARGH!!"


    Long Chun screamed miserably and flew straight for Long Yan.


    Long Yan was startled and hurriedly fired out a streak of essence energy, catching Long Chun.


    Everyone was shocked, especially Long Yan.


    He even thought that he had to expend a bout of effort before he could rescue Long Chun.


    What he was worried about was Ye Yuan using Long Chun as a hostage to threaten him. That way, he would really be somewhat cautious in taking action.


    He did not think that this human boy actually directly let him go.


    However, did he think that he would let him off like this?


    "Grandpa!"


    Long Chun had a look of shame. He, this young patriarch, had utterly thrown his face away today.


    Long Yan snorted coldly and reproached, "Shameful thing, scram back and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors! You''re not to exit seclusion within a hundred years!"


    Long Chun did not dare to disobey and said respectfully, "Yes, Grandfather."


    Long Yan no longer bothered with Long Chun, but looked at Ye Yuan with a grim look and said, "Human boy, you''re very sensible. I''ll keep my word and leave you with an intact corpse!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re the dragon clan''s head elder, Long Yan, right? I think you''re misunderstanding something, Long Chun is just a small fry to me. Letting go or not only takes a thought. Not killing him is just because this young master''s ties with the dragon race isn''t shallow. Otherwise, do you think that those people would have the chance to return and tip off you?"


    Long Yan''s face fell, and he said, "Boy, how confident you are! Or is it, you''re an egomaniac? You ask yourself, facing the four of us, can you still escape with your life?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, not arrogant, but that I have this strength! The four of you attack together then, I want to take a look just how strong the Four Symbols Family Clans inside this Divine Beast Realm are!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces changed!


    The arrangement inside this Divine Beast Realm, apart from the Patriarch who''s in closed-seclusion all year-round, as well as that old ancestor who had never shown his face before, it was these four head elders as the head.


    The four head elders were all existences who had comprehended Divine Dao laws!


    This human brat actually wanted to fight one-on-four? Was he crazy?


    "Hahaha �� What an arrogant boy! Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth! Killing you, this old man along is sufficient!"


    Towards a just initial-stage divine king human boy, he did not take his seriously at all.


    Done talking, he stepped forward and threw a palm out, toppling mountains and overturning the seas!


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ye Yuan smiled again. Grand completion spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and Long Yan wanted to deal with Ye Yuan using that move?


    With the exact same move, Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm came out with a howl!


    The same grand completion spirit rank!


    One palm unleashing, the winds and clouds immediately changed color!


    Boom!


    Long Yan flew out backward. He could not withstand the power of Ye Yuan''s palm, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    Comprehending Divine Rank laws and comprehending divine rank dragon wave was two completely different concepts!


    The Four Symbols Family Clans were the darlings of heaven and earth and had their own Dao belonging to them.


    The dragon race martial techniques were actually a different understanding of ''Dao.''


    And dragon wave was the amplitude stimulated with dragon race bloodline power, the medium to unleash the martial technique.


    The dragon race martial techniques, inclusive of the Voice of the Dragon God inside, were released with dragon wave.


    If Ye Yuan''s dragon wave was only spirit rank, his Voice of the Dragon God would not have such horrifying power either.


    In addition, Ye Yuan''s comprehension of the dragon race''s Martial Dao had long reached an exceedingly high realm under Long Teng''s guidance.


    His comprehension of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was far above Long Yan''s.


    The juniors that came together were all dumbstruck. They rubbed their eyes, looking at this scene in front of them in disbelief.


    "N-No way, right? A human''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is actually even more formidable than Head Elder''s!"


    "Previously he used this move to defeat Young Patriarch, I even thought that that was already his limits. Didn''t expect that his Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is actually on the same level as Head Elder!"


    "No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. It turns out that he really had the capital to be arrogant!"


    ...


    In the crowd, Long Zhen thought that Head Elder arriving could definitely help him purge away his former shame.


    He did not expect that the invincible head elder in his heart, was actually defeated just like this!


    Recalling back then, the gap between him and Ye Yuan was also not that great.


    But now, Ye Yuan could poke him to death with a little pinkie.


    He who had always cracked himself up to be a genius, finally knew what was called feeling ashamed of his own unseemliness.


    Long Yan looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished look and said in incredible shock, "You �� How do you know the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm? This is my dragon clan''s non-transmissible secret! You �� This is the death penalty!"


    "Death penalty? Who''s sentencing the death penalty? You?" Ye Yuan could not help laughing in spite of himself as he said.


    The four clans'' head elders were all stifled when they heard that. Yeah, these words that originally sounded all too normal, they sounded so laughable hearing it at this time.


    In this world, it had always been the strong sentencing the weak to death.


    Now, Ye Yuan was clearly that strong one!


    Long Yan''s face fell, and he said, "Still in a daze for what? Attack together! I want to see just how strong this brat is!"


    The other three head elders'' faces turned stern, and without being the slightest bit apprehensiveness, they attacked together!


    Four great head elder attacking in unison, the commotion it caused was truly shocking.


    But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that these four people''s martial techniques cooperating together, they actually produced a kind of resonance!


    Azure dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, black tortoise!


    Four divine beasts'' phantoms emerged in unison and actually aroused heaven and earth''s resonance!


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern and did not dare to slight it.


    The Domain of Sword instantly opened up, shrinking to a radius of ten feet.


    At the same time, the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art revolved in full force, an earth-yellow light flooding his body.


    Boom!


    Under the four great head elders'' dumbfounded gazes, Ye Yuan forcefully received this blow!


    Even though this attack''s power was incomparably terrifying, compared to the three great fiendgods'' Starburst Grand Art, it was more than a magnitude inferior.


    Ye Yuan did not budge an inch!


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    The four head elders felt that this was too preposterous.


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "I didn''t expect that the four symbols divine beasts'' martial techniques combining together, can actually produce such power! It''s just that, your strength is too weak."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the four head elders'' expressions incredibly ugly.


    The four of them were the Divine Beast Realm''s apex existences already. A joint-attack actually could not even break off a single hair of this brat in front of them!

 1242 Ao Li

    Suddenly, the Black Tortoise Clan''s head elder suddenly thought of something and cried out in shock, "You �� Just now, that was the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art?"


    Earlier, he clearly saw a layer of earth-yellow light halo suffuse on Ye Yuan''s body. That kind of characteristic was identical with the Black Tortoise Clan''s already lost Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!


    If without the foreshadowing of the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm previously, the black tortoise head elder probably would not dare to think about this.


    But now, he felt that it was extremely likely!


    But Long Yan was greatly surprised and said, "Kang You, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn''t your clan''s Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art already lost for a million years? How can this brat possibly learn it?"


    However, Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Your esteemed self is still somewhat knowledgeable. That''s right, it''s precisely the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!"


    The Black Tortoise head elder''s face instantly became extremely fascinating.


    There was no need to talk anymore about the power of this cultivation method. Once cultivated to Divine Dao ninth level, no one in this world could breach the defenses anymore!


    Even an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse would not cut it as well!


    The Black Tortoise Clan naturally regretted for a long time over the loss of this cultivation method.


    But did not expect that this cultivation method actually appeared on a human race''s brat!


    "Just what are the origins of this human boy? Not only does he know the dragon race''s Divine Dao martial technique, he even learned the Black Tortoise Clan''s paramount defensive cultivation method!"


    "If let''s say the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was secretly learned by him, then this Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art that has already been lost for a million years had no way of secretly learning at all!"


    "Just where did this guy learn so many Divine Dao martial techniques from? Furthermore, he even surpasses his predecessors. The four head elders, even them joining hands, were actually not his match!"


    ...


    The black tortoise head elder''s exclamation pushed the Four Symbols Family Clans'' shock to another level.


    Even a supreme martial technique lost for a million years showed up on this human brat in front of them, this �� was too surreal.


    Right now, they felt like this world was too crazy.


    This time, Long Yan finally faced Ye Yuan''s might squarely, and said with a solemn face, "Boy, just what are your intentions for breaking into the Divine Beast Realm?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This young master just accidentally entered the Peach Blossoms Forest and unintentionally barged into the Divine Beast Realm. You say what intentions I have �� this young master really never thought before. However �� this young master is really quite interested in this place now. This Ye and the dragon clan''s ties are not shallow. This brother of mine is also the present Divine Realm''s White Tiger Clan''s common lord, in possession of a Perfect White Tiger Physique. It''s just, I wonder what kind of relationship is there between you guys and the Divine Realm''s Four Symbols Family Clans?"


    Only with Ye Yuan''s words did everyone notice the White Light not far away from him.


    Ye Yuan''s light was too dazzling, resulting in nobody paying attention to the White Light behind.


    But now, hearing Ye Yuan say so, everyone''s faces immediately became fascinating.


    Perfect White Tiger Physique!


    This �� Did they still want people to live?


    This pair of brothers being born, was it to make people feel ashamed of their inadequacy?


    However, Long Yan''s face fell, and he said, "No relation at all! Alright, you guys can leave!"


    Long Yan''s attitude made Ye Yuan slightly surprised, and also had a lot more wild and fanciful thought.


    Even a blind man could tell that this Divine Beast Realm and the Divine Realm''s Four Symbols Family Clans were deeply connected.


    Long Yan was not blind, then he could only be lying through his teeth.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This young master wants to leave as well, but that Peach Blossom Forest can''t be passed through."


    Long Yan said coldly, "That''s your problem, what has it got to do with this seat?! This place doesn''t welcome you!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "This young master already showed leniency repeatedly on account of ties with the Four Symbols Family Clans. Could it be that �� you guys really take this young master to be easy to bully?"


    An overwhelming aura slowly released. That faintly discernible killing intent made everyone''s hearts turn cold.


    It seemed like this little lord was really enraged!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Since you came, why not show yourself?"


    When everyone had blank faces, a figure slowly walked out from within the void.


    When the four head elders saw the arrival, their faces all changed, and they bowed in salute as they said, "We have seen Patriarch!"


    Different from Ye Yuan''s expectations, the patriarch was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, brimming with vitality.


    It looked like he should be in his prime.


    The patriarch sized Ye Yuan up, seemingly wanting to see through Ye Yuan.


    But he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan was like a deep abyss, unable to see the bottom with one glance.


    Clearly a 30-over years old young man, but looked to have the level-headedness of a middle-aged person.


    Ye Yuan was also sizing the other party up. No idea why, this person actually gave Ye Yuan a feeling of seemingly being acquainted.


    But this Divine Beast Realm, it was clearly his first time coming.


    "Ao Li," the middle-aged man suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, and he said lightly, "Ye Yuan."


    "Your esteemed self''s request is truly making people do things beyond their power. That Peach Blossom forest, only Ancestor alone can return to the Divine Realm. If you want to go out, this seat can send you away through the Lower Realms," Ao Li said coolly.


    The words filled all of the clan members with shock.


    These words did not sound like much, but actually, it already expressed the patriarch''s attitude.


    He was not willing to provoke Ye Yuan!


    With the patriarch''s strength, he was actually so wary of Ye Yuan too!


    In their eyes, this was already the Divine Beast Realm''s greatest concession.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "This Ye is pressed for time and can''t afford to waste time. If only the ancestor alone can do it, can you invite him to come out of seclusion?"


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, returning from the Lower Realms was indeed not too much of a trouble.


    In fact, he could even return to the Endless World to meet his parents.


    It was just that this bout of time-wasting, at the very least, had to take the greater part of a year, even a year''s time as well, before he could return to the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    He could not afford to waste it!


    Hearing these words, Ao Li''s face fell and said, "Your esteemed self insisting on others to do what''s impossible, do you really take this Ao to be scared of you?"


    Ye Yuan slightly heaved a sigh and said, "it''s not that this Ye is forcing people to do what they are unwilling to, but it''s truly that I can''t help it. Hope that Patriarch Ao can forgive."


    The aura on Ao Li''s body suddenly released. A terrifying dragon pressure instantly locked onto Ye Yuan.


    "Looks like you want to force this Ao to take action!"


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious and said coolly, "I''m not forcing you to take action. If really only the ancestor alone can do it, then this Ye can only force him out!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone all sucked in a cold breath. This �� was also truly too arrogant, right?


    This guy actually did not even place Patriarch Ao in his eyes!


    How strong that mysterious ancestor was, those clan members did not know at all.


    But Patriarch Ao Li was an existence capable of suppressing the four head elders!


    How could this boy dare to be any more arrogant?


    "Hahaha �� Good! Very good! This Ao has already not encountered an opponent in this Divine Beast Realm for many years! Today, this Ao wants to measure on what basis, you dare to say this kind of big talk! If you really can defeat this seat, Ancestor might really come out!" Ao Li let out a wild laugh and said.


    He was wary of Ye Yuan, it did not mean that he was scared of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was also helpless. He was not a troublemaker, but it was necessary in order to return to the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    There was no other choice. He had to stir up trouble this time.

 1243 Mysterious Background

    "Fool! This boy definitely doesn''t know how terrifying Patriarch''s strength is!"


    When Long Yan saw Ye Yuan courting death and provoking Ao Li, he had a look of disdain.


    The other three head elders had looks of agreement. They were all aware of Ao Li''s strength.


    Ye Yuan''s defense was indeed very powerful. But wanting to withstand Ao Li''s attack, it likely could not be done.


    Ye Yuan did an inviting hand gesture and said coolly, "Please!"


    Ao Li''s face turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, "What an arrogant young boy. Do you really think that you''re invincible under the heavens? Since you know the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, then I''ll use this move to challenge you!"


    A terrifying dragon pressure enveloped all present in an instant.


    "Heh, Patriarch Ao is the most talented patriarch of my Divine Beast Realm in 100 thousand years! His bloodline already evolved to the sacred rank! I don''t believe that this Ye Yuan can still overturn the heavens!" Long Yan said with a look of disdain.


    But very soon, his expression became fascinating again.


    Under Ao Li''s dragon pressure, Ye Yuan was still leisurely and calm. A faint aura released from his body.


    Including Ao Li, all of the clan members were greatly astonished.


    Peak sacred rank bloodline!


    Just missing one last step, and he could step into divine rank bloodline!


    A human, how �� was this possible?


    "Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!"


    Ao Li forcefully pressed down the astonishment in his heart, a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm attacking flagrantly.


    At once, heaven and earth changed colors because of it!


    Divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    This Ao Li actually comprehended divine rank dragon wave too!


    Being shock was just shock; Ye Yuan''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm still shot out without the slightest hesitation.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    Two dragon roars surged to the sky!


    In 100 thousand years, two mighty divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palms clashed head-on for the first time!


    This kind of spectacle originally could not be seen in the same era at all.


    But today, it appeared!


    This was a clash between two great dragon race peerless geniuses!


    "Is my eyesight failing? This human boy actually comprehended dragon rank dragon wave too!"


    "Is this guy really a human? Could it �� Could it have been a mistake?"


    "Why would the divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm appear on a human! I comprehended for several hundred years and only just reached the initial-stage heaven rank!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s consecutive attacks refreshed the senses of the four symbols clan members again and again.


    This human was simply here to kick down the dojo, crushing the pride in their hearts to smithereens.


    Even someone as stunning as Patriarch Ao was also overshadowed in front of Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    The collision of divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palms could be described with startling the heavens and shaking the earth.


    That terrifying undulation made everyone''s countenance change because of it.


    Ye Yuan suffered the impact of the recoil force, his innards churning.


    But Ao Li was even more miserable. He was directly blasted flying ten thousand feet away by Ye Yuan''s blow


    At this time, a trace of fresh blood even hung at the corners of his mouth. Clearly, he had already suffered considerable internal injuries.


    "Nine Transformations Golden Body!"


    Ao Li''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was unbelievably shocked.


    The reason why he lost was that he was defeated by the Nine Transformations Golden Body!


    Don''t look at how Ye Yuan''s Nine Transformations Golden Body was just that tiny bit, the compounding on martial techniques could not be underestimated.


    After all, this was the fleshy body that only Deity Realm powerhouses could possess!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "This Ye just wants to return to the Godsfall Mountain Range, everyone better not push people too far! With this Ye''s strength, massacring all of you clean �� isn''t impossible either!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s faces change.


    He challenged the entire Divine Beast Realm with his power alone here!


    But now, even Patriarch Ao LI was not his match. He really had the strength to exterminate one''s clan and was not joking around.


    Ao Li''s expression flickered incessantly. Could it be that the entire Divine Beast Realm had to lower their head to this human brat?


    "Since that''s the case, your esteemed self should stay here a bit for two days. This Ao will attempt to communicate with Old Ancestor."


    Finally, Ao Li still lowered his proud head.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head but did not say anything.


    This place seemed to not welcome them. Although Ye Yuan was curious, he could not deign his own status either and insist on figuring things out.


    The urgent matter on hand was still returning to the Godsfall Mountain Range and finding the Kunwu Divine Wood.


    The rest was all not important.


    It was just that the gaze that the Four Symbols Family Clans looked toward Ye Yuan with were filled with fear.


    Especially those juniors who yelled and wrangled at Ye Yuan before, only then, did they know how ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth they were.


    If Ye Yuan really wanted to kill them, they would have handed over their lives no matter how many they had.


    ...


    Just like this, Ye Yuan temporarily stayed in the dragon clan.


    It was just that his residence was like a forbidden ground. Everyone all stayed far away, not daring to approach him.


    "White Light, what do you think?" Ye Yuan asked White Light after settling down.


    Previously, White Light did not speak all along, which was very different from his style.


    Ye Yuan knew that White Light definitely had some ideas.


    "Big Brother, I can''t put my finger to it as well. I keep feeling that I have a very familiar feeling towards this place!" White Light had a rare deep contemplation.


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, and he said, "It''s not odd that you have this kind of feeling, but why do I have this kind of feeling too?"


    White Light looked at Ye Yuan rather amazedly and said, "It would be the between bloodlines, right? I feel that the Divine Beast Realm''s demon race''s bloodlines are even purer than the outside world''s! The strength of the demon races here is more than a level stronger than the outside world on the whole!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "This statement may hold true for you, but it doesn''t quite make sense for me. When I entered the Divine Realm''s dragon clan, I never had this kind of feeling before either. But arriving here, there''s a feeling that I can''t explain clearly or understand. How strange!"


    White Light thought about it and said, "Big Brother, back then when I went to the Dark Forest, I kept feeling that there was something calling me. Now, entering here, this feeling is even stronger! I say �� could I have come out from here?"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "How is that possible? When I met you, you were just Tier 1, and your mother was just Tier 2! Unless, that isn''t your biological mother! Do you feel that a Tier 2 demonic beast can walk out from here?"


    White Light could not help being stifled when he heard that and also felt that he was thinking too much.


    Between this Dark Forest and Endless Forest, the two were still separated by the God Prohibited Demon Region.


    How could a Tier 2 demonic beast possibly walk out?


    Moreover, White Light''s mother was just an ordinary demonic beast.


    Perhaps there''s that trace of divine beast bloodline, but it was already faint to the point that it could be disregarded.


    At this time, the Li-er who did not speak all along suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Big Brother Yuan, seems to me that it isn''t impossible either!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said, "What do you mean?"


    Li-er said, "Big Brother Yuan, isn''t your Atavism Dragon Soul also hard to come by in a million years? Which is also to say that, during these one million years, only you alone possess this kind of divine soul. Then, isn''t this a phenomenon of atavism? Although White Light''s mother''s bloodline was thin, perhaps her ancestor came out of this place?"


    Li-er''s words made Ye Yuan and White Light sink into deep thought.

 1244 Mother and Son Linking Hearts

    "Ancestor, the matter that happened in the day, you''re already aware, right?"


    Ao Li stood outside a cave, hands by the side.


    Clearly, he was very respectful toward the old ancestor inside the cave.


    Only after a long time did a voice that sounded like having had experienced the many vicissitudes of life come out from inside the cave.


    "Are you blaming me for not taking action?"


    Ao Li''s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Ao Li dare not!"


    "Huhu, even if I make a move, I might not be able to do anything to him either," that aged voice said.


    Ao Li''s trembled all over, his gaze revealing a look of shock as he said, "This �� How is this possible!"


    "If Heavenly Dao was intact, it''s naturally as easy as turning my hand to eradicate him! But right now, this deity is also merely just a slightly stronger divine king powerhouse, that''s all. In this world, there might be no one capable of winning me."


    That aged voice called himself this deity. This Divine Beast Realm''s old ancestor was actually a genuine Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Probably, the entire Divine Realm''s powerhouses could not imagine that inside this Godsfall Mountain Range, there actually hid a Deity Realm powerhouse.


    But Heavenly Dao was missing. Even a deity realm powerhouse did not have the glory back then as well.


    Hence, when Ao Li heard the ancestor''s words, he was deeply shocked.


    The reason why he was able to comprehend Divine Dao laws, comprehend divine rank dragon wave, was entirely because there was the ancestor''s guidance.


    In Ao Li''s eyes, even if Heavenly Dao was missing presently, he was also the most powerful being.


    But these words today made Ao Li have a feeling of a hero past his prime.


    "He �� On what basis?" Ao Li said in disbelief.


    "In this world, there''s a type of person called a true genius! No matter how hard you try, you''re unable to surpass too! Right now, his essence, energy, and spirit haven''t reached grand completion yet. When he truly reaches grand completion and attains Half-Deity Realm, he''ll probably have no opponent in this world anymore!" The ancestor said rather despondently.


    In his words, they carried ineffable emotions.


    Ao Li was deeply shocked by the ancestor''s appraisal!


    What was called no matter how hard you try, you''re also unable to surpass?


    "Sigh �� go back! You tell him, this deity will send him off." The ancestor said with a long sigh.


    Ao Li left in a despondent mood. He did not even know how he left.


    Someone as talented as him actually heard such an evaluation. This made him totally unable to accept it.


    But he was actually unable to refute.


    Ye Yuan''s age was much younger than his, but his strength already steadily surpassed him!


    Could it be that there was still anything more persuasive than this?


    After Ao Li left, a female voice sounded out inside the cave.


    "Right now, do you regret your actions back then?"


    "Yes! I didn''t expect that �� this old man also have times where I make an error of judgment!"


    The woman clearly did not expect that the old ancestor actually acknowledged it so shamelessly and could not help falling silent.


    After a moment, the old ancestor continued, "He seized possession and reincarnated and most likely suffered a huge accident in the outside world. Could it be that �� you''re not going out to take a look?"


    "No matter what unforeseen event, he already grew up now. Given time, even you might not be his match either, what can I still not let go of?" The woman said.


    The ancestor heaved a sigh again and said, "Sigh, an ill-fated destiny!"


    ...


    An entire night''s time, Ye Yuan''s heart was in turmoil.


    If it were normally, he did not need to do anything at all and would be able to enter meditation.


    But today, he could not do it no matter what.


    Only all the way until past midnight, did Ye Yuan fall asleep.


    At this time, his divine soul actually turned into an azure dragon and emerged from his body.


    After the dragon soul left the body, meandering out, it actually flew over towards that cave.


    But arriving outside the cave, Ye Yuan discovered that inside the cave faintly exuded a powerful undulation.


    He circled at the entrance of the cave for a long time before finally returning to his body before dawn.


    "Big Brother Yuan! Big Brother Yuan! Are you alright?"


    By his ear, came Li-er''s shouting. Ye Yuan abruptly startled awake.


    He was covered his sweat, his entire person seemingly hauled out of the water.


    "I �� I was dreaming? No, wait, this wasn''t a dream! That cave is definitely peculiar!" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Li-er had a baffled look and said curiously, "What cave? Big Brother Yuan, what are you talking about?"


    Ye Yuan pulled Li-er and went outside. As they walked, he said, "Come, go with me to find a cave!"


    The two people called White Light and were about to leave the clan, but was stopped by Ao Li.


    "Where are you guys going?" Ao Li asked with a serious expression.


    Ye Yuan was not polite and said, "None of your business, move aside!"


    Ao Li knew that Ye Yuan was not to be trifled with and controlled his temper and said, "Old ancestor already agreed to send you away. It doesn''t seem very nice for you to be like this, right?"


    "This Divine Beast Realm seems to have some connections with me. You move aside, I''m just going to find a cave and not harm you all!" Ye Yuan forcefully pressed down the anxiety in his heart and said.


    The moment Ao Li heard Ye Yuan say cave, he knew that he seemed to have known something.


    A cave that was able to make Ye Yuan feel out of the ordinary, there was only the place where Ancestor was in closed-seclusion.


    "What a joke! What connections do my Divine Beast Realm''s matters have to do with you?" Isn''t your esteemed self''s worry a little too much?" Ao Li said with a cold smile.


    What a joke, how could he possibly let Ye Yuan go and disturb the old ancestor''s quiet cultivation?


    Ye Yuan felt irritation in his heart and said in a deep voice, "If you still don''t move aside, don''t blame this young master for not being courteous!"


    Ao Li also lost his temper and said in a cold voice, "If you want to go over, not unless you step over my dead body!"


    "Humph! Then I''ll have to offend!"


    Ye Yuan did not say another word. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    This palm, Ye Yuan did not hold back in the slightest. The moment he attacked, it startled the heavens and shook the earth!


    Ao Li''s expression changed and could only respond with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    The result had not the least bit of surprise.


    Ye Yuan''s one palm succeeding, he did not have the intention of staying, bringing Li-er and White Light and rushing over.


    This palm alarmed the clan members. People rushed out one after another but discovered that Ye Yuan was long gone already.


    Even Patriarch Ao Li could not stop Ye Yuan, who else could stop him?


    Ye Yuan followed the sensation of his divine soul leaving the body last night and found that cave before long.


    Seeing this cave, Ye Yuan''s feelings were actually somewhat agitated, somewhat flustered.


    "It''s this cave, exactly the same as my dream!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Big Brother Yuan, just what secret is inside this cave?" Li-er said curiously.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I don''t know either, but we should be able to know when we go in!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought the two people and was able to enter inside, but his expression suddenly changed.


    A figure slowly walked out from inside the darkness, gradually becoming distinct.


    This was an old man whose hair and beard had turned all white, looking advanced in age.


    But, the undulations faintly emitting from his body made Ye Yuan''s heart palpitate endlessly too.


    This old man was not simple!


    "Didn''t this deity agree to send you away? What are you so impatient for?" The old man said with slight displeasure.


    The old man''s words filled Ye Yuan trio with shock!


    "This deity! You �� You''re a Deity Realm powerhouse!" White Light cried out in shock.


    The old man gave a self-mocking laugh and said, "Huhu, Deity Realm powerhouse? That''s something a very long time ago already. Right now �� at most considered a half-deity!"

 1245 The Might of a Deity Realm Powerhouse!

    The moment this old man appeared, Ye Yuan felt a dangerous aura hit him head-on.


    That kind of feeling was like facing Fang Tian.


    The first feeling that this old man gave Ye Yuan was that the former was strong.


    Very strong!


    However, the closer he approached this cave, the faster Ye Yuan''s heart beat.


    Now, Ye Yuan felt like his heart was almost leaping out of his throat.


    This feeling of heartbeat was absolutely not given to him by this old man.


    "Ye Yuan, don''t be insolent!"


    Right at this time, Ao Li, as well as the four clans'' head elders, also rushed over.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with them at all. Right now, he only wanted to enter that cave.


    "Senior, Ye Yuan has no intention of disturbing, I just want to enter this cave to take a look, is it allowed?"


    Ye Yuan forcefully calmed his emotions and used a discussing tone to talk with this old man.


    "This place is this old man''s seclusion place. There are no other things. Moreover, requesting like this, don''t you feel that it''s rude?" the old man said coolly.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Junior knows that this action is rather brusque, but Junior has a reason that he must go in! If it trespasses on Senior''s hospitality a little, Junior is willing to compensate afterward."


    Past life and this life, over 500 years, Ye Yuan had never had such a strong impulse to enter a place before.


    He was certain that this cave absolutely had a huge connection with him!


    "What a joke! How can the old ancestor''s seclusion place be allowed for you to profane?" Ao Li said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "None of your business here, it''s not your turn to speak!"


    "You!" Ao Li was livid with rage.


    The old ancestor gestured at Ao Li to stop talking and looked toward Ye Yuan as he said coolly, "Little friend, there are quite a number of my Four Symbols Family Clans'' secrets inside the cave. You possess the azure dragon bloodline, having a resonance is also normal. If you''re of the dragon race, it''s also not impossible for this old man to let you go in. But you''re just a human!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. This old ancestor''s words sounded as if it left no room for criticism. Furthermore, the rejection was also very reasonable.


    But no idea why, Ye Yuan just wanted to go in.


    That kind of strong psychological hint shattered the old ancestor''s words to pieces.


    Ye Yuan''s palm flipped, a fire rod appeared in his hand.


    The powerful dragon pressure coming off the fire rod made everyone''s countenance change.


    At this moment, the old ancestor who was always calm finally lost composure!


    "S-Sacred Dragon Token! Back then, the old patriarch took it away, and it never appeared again. How could it appear in your hands?" The old ancestor said in astonishment.


    "Put aside how it''s in my hands, since you say that there are the Four Symbols Family Clans'' secrets inside this cave, I wonder if I have the qualifications or not to enter and check it out by relying on the Sacred Dragon Token?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The old ancestor''s face flickered incessantly. He never thought that Ye Yuan actually still possessed such a sacred object.


    Seeing the Sacred Dragon Token was akin to seeing the patriarch, even he was unable to defy the ancestral teachings too!


    Rather, the other four symbols clan members, inclusive of Ao Li, all had blank looks.


    They knew that this Sacred Dragon Token was definitely not an ordinary object. But they all grew up in the Divine Beast Realm and did not understand the significance that the Sacred Dragon Token represented.


    "Ancestor, what is this item?" Ao Li could not refrain from asking.


    An item able to make Old Ancestor visibly moved was absolutely no ordinary object.


    "This is the Sacred Dragon Token, our dragon race''s supreme divine artifact! The dragon race''s ancestral teachings: the person who possesses this token is the dragon clan''s lord!" the old ancestor said in a solemn voice.


    The old ancestor''s words made everyone''s faces change.


    Ao Li was stunned and looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise, and said, "A human becoming the lord of the dragon clan, how can it convince people?"


    "Heh, just a human is it? My big brother''s bloodline is purer than any of you, based on what that he can''t convince the masses? In the Divine Realm, my big brother is already the lord of the human race! You probably don''t know, this Sacred Dragon Token doesn''t simply choose its master. Even if my big brother gives it to you, it''s impossible for it to acknowledge you as its master too!" White Light said disdainfully.


    Ao Li''s expression changed, and he could not resist looking over toward the old ancestor for affirmation.


    The old ancestor slowly nodded his head, considered as tacitly approving of White Light''s words.


    Ao Li''s face was ashen. He was seriously unable to accept this fact.


    "Senior, do you still have any doubts now?" Ye Yuan looked towards the old ancestor with a scorching gaze.


    The old ancestor mused for a moment and slowly said, "Since you obtained the Sacred Dragon Token''s acknowledgment, this old man naturally serves you as the lord! It''s just that this cave �� you can''t go in!"


    The old ancestor''s words made Ye Yuan''s expression change.


    He did not think that this old man actually did not even give face to the Sacred Dragon Token.


    But it was precisely because so that Ye Yuan was even more certain that there must be some secret inside!


    Ye Yuan put away the Sacred Dragon Token and said coolly, "Alright, this Ye got it. Since that''s the case, this Ye will be offending!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure instantly vanished from where he was.


    Art of greater teleportation!


    But this time, there was someone faster than him!


    At virtually the same time, the old ancestor''s figure also disappeared from where he was.


    Similarly, it was the art of greater teleportation!


    Boom!


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, Ye Yuan forcefully exchanged a blow in the void with the old ancestor, but his figure was shocked out of the void, flying straight for ten thousand feet before forcefully stabilizing his figure.


    This old ancestor''s strength was indeed terrifying powerful!


    However, the old ancestor was unable to stop Ye Yuan''s determination to enter the cave. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    "Heh, being able to comprehend divine rank dragon wave at a young age, truly a genius! But using it to deal with this old man is inadequate."


    The old ancestor smiled faintly and similarly smacked a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm out!


    One palm unleashing, even Ye Yuan''s countenance changed because of it as well!


    Boom!


    After a frontal-clash, even if Ye Yuan''s defense was exceedingly powerful, he was also battered by the other party until he spewed out a large mouthful of blood.


    "Is this the strength of a deity realm powerhouse? Indeed, it lives up to its reputation! It''s just a pity that there''s no longer Divine Dao under this heaven!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, the Evil Extermination Sword suddenly moving out!


    "Fury Sword Fire Lotus!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword intent advanced greatly. Fiery''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame also could not be compared to before.


    This Fury Sword Fire Lotus was already not its former power.


    When Ao Li saw this scene, his expression became incomparably ugly.


    It turned out that when Ye Yuan was dealing with him, he did not use his full strength yet!


    The Fury Sword Fire Lotus, after evolving, was more than a grade stronger than the divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    "Careful, Ancestor!" Ao Li shouted.


    He knew that the ancestor was formidable, but facing such a terrifying attack, whether or not the ancestor could block it, he had no assurance in his heart either.


    However, the old ancestor just smiled faintly. A Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm pushed out once more!


    The might of this palm was actually even greater than the palm before!


    Boom!


    One come, unleashed; Ye Yuan was sent flying once more.


    After two palms, Ye Yuan already suffered considerable injuries.


    "Senior''s Deity Realm laws are splendid! It''s probably also not far from Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, right?" Ye Yuan said in a low voice.


    The ancestor smiled faintly and said, "Not long after this old man broke through to the Deity Realm, this world''s laws already went missing. With nothing to do these few years, I could only comprehend some Divine Dao laws as well. How is it? Still want to go in?"


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said, "Final move, if senior can block it, this Ye will retreat here!"


    "Huhu, Junior, you''re very strong! But right now, you''re still not this old man''s match, fall back! When your strength is there, coming to find this old man again isn''t too late," the old ancestor shook his head and said with a smile. He clearly did not think that Ye Yuan could win him.

 1246 Land of Exile

    "Roar!"


    An earth-shaking dragon roar sounded. The old ancestor''s face abruptly changed!


    In virtually an instant, the old ancestor knew the source of Ye Yuan''s martial technique. The astonishment in his heart could not be any greater.


    It was just that there was no time for him to be surprised right now. Allowing the Voice of the Dragon God to land on his body freely, his old bones would probably not even have residue remaining.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that the old ancestor was not completely powerless to retaliate like the rest.


    After the astonishment, the old ancestor''s reaction was also extremely quick.


    A terrifying undulation emitted from his body!


    This undulation actually isolated the Voice of the Dragon God outside.


    "This �� This is the Voice of the Dragon God! He actually knows the Voice of the Dragon God, how is this possible?" Ao Li cried out in alarm.


    To the dragon clan, the renown of the Voice of the Dragon God could be said to be an accomplishment that surpassed ancient and modern times.


    Although this martial technique was lost, practically every member of the dragon race knew its might!


    "Wasn''t the Voice of the Dragon God long lost? Why would a human know my dragon race''s supreme martial technique?"


    "Too inconceivable! When he used the divine rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm before, it gave me a fright. Didn''t expect that now, he even used the Voice of the Dragon God."


    "Is he really a human? I even suspect that he''s a member of my dragon race. Who can tell me what the hell is going on here?"


    ...


    The already lost martial technique suddenly showing up, the shock to the dragon clan could be imagined.


    Not just the dragon clan, the other three clan''s elders were similarly shocked to the core.


    Just like the Four Symbols Family Clans, they were naturally aware of the well-known Voice of the Dragon God.


    They did not expect that this martial technique actually appeared on a human.


    One breath, two breaths!


    Ye Yuan saw that he could not breach the old ancestor''s defense. Gritting his teeth, he went for three breaths!


    Right at this time, a melancholic sigh came from inside the cave.


    Ye Yuan''s heart suddenly trembled, his breath immediately being cut off. The Voice of the Dragon God abruptly ceased.


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    Two breaths already passed, Ye Yuan''s body already virtually reached the limits and was unable to support itself anymore. Li-er hurriedly went up to support him.


    "Puhwark!"


    The old ancestor''s face was deathly pale, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    He still could not completely resist the impact of the Voice of the Dragon God in the end!


    "Ancestor! Are you alright?" Seeing the ancestor vomit blood, Ao Li and the rest exclaimed in shock.


    The old ancestor waved his hand and looked towards Ye Yuan profoundly and said, "This old man understands! H-haha, this old man''s two eyes were really blind! Jun-er, you still have to meet him in the end."


    The last sentence, the old ancestor directed it toward the inside of the cave.


    "Ancestor, let him come in."


    Inside the cave, a woman''s voice transmitted out serenely.


    Ao Li''s expression turned austere. He had never known that apart from the old ancestor, there was still another person inside this cave!


    Hearing this voice, Ye Yuan''s entire person was thunderstruck.


    Clearly a foreign to the extreme voice, but the way he heard it, it was so warm.


    "Forget it, you go in then! But only you alone can enter," the old ancestor said coolly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and struggled to his feet, and walked into the cave stumblingly.


    "Ancestor, inside is ��" Ao Li could not resist asking.


    "Ao Jun!" The old ancestor did not conceal it either, directly uttering a name.


    Ao Li''s expression changed and he said, "Dragonlady Ao Jun! W-Wasn''t she dead?"


    To say who was the most talented clan member in these 100 thousand years in the Divine Beast Realm, that was absolutely not him. It was Dragonlady Ao Jun!


    Ao Jun only used a thousand years'' time and cultivated to the grand completion of Tier 9, and comprehended Divine Dao laws.


    Her strength was much stronger even compared to him currently.


    It was just a shame that she was not willing to be confined by this Divine Beast Realm. Over 800 years ago, she escaped out of the Divine Beast Realm and entered inside the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    From then on, the clan members inside the Divine Beast Realm never saw her again.


    It was also from then on that the old ancestor started devoting all his attention to guide Ao Li, grooming him to this current realm.


    Ao Li did not expect that she was actually inside the old ancestor''s seclusion cave all along!


    The old ancestor heaved a sigh and said, "Hard to say finish in a single sentence! But she''s probably very relieved to see her own son be so promising, right?"


    "S-Son?" The clan members were in a state of disarray.


    "That''s right, Ye Yuan is Ao Jun''s son, her son with a human." The old ancestor slowly said.


    Li-er and White Light exchanged a glance, both seeing the deep astonishment from the other person''s eyes.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had such a background.


    No wonder Ye Yuan became so peculiar after entering this place.


    At this time, the old ancestor looked toward White Light again and said kindly, "If I didn''t guess wrongly, you should be Whitefeather''s descendant, right? On your body, there''s her aura. Perfect White Tiger Physique, not bad! Pretty good! Huhu, back then, her and Jun-er''s feint attack to create a diversion for the actual attack was done really beautifully. It even deceived this old man! It''s just that this old man didn''t think that their descendants actually broke the curse at the same time. How ironic!"


    Talking to the back, the old ancestor laughed self-mockingly.


    White Light trembled. It was as if he was electrocuted.


    "O-Old ancestor, what''s the meaning of your words?" White Light swallowed his saliva and said.


    The old ancestor simply sat down and started talking about the Divine Beast Realm''s secrets.


    When White Light heard the old ancestor''s words, he could not help being deeply astounded.


    It turned out that this place was a land of exile!


    The demon races here were all exiled to this place because of committing a severe crime, never to return to the Divine Realm!


    This space was hewed open by the Four Great Divine Beasts'' progenitors joining hands, and set a curse on this place with a terrifying secret art.


    Any felon who was banished here, once they left this region, their life would flow away rapidly, all the way till death!


    Furthermore, their descendants would likewise be unable to leave this space!


    This was a very terrifying curse, which was to say that once committing an unforgivable mistake and being banished here, their descendants would never ever see daylight!


    Don''t look at how this place had green mountains and clear waters, its scenery breathtaking, it was actually a giant prison!


    According to what the old ancestor said, since time immemorial, God knows how many clan members wanted to escape this cage in this place.


    But after they went out, they grew old very quickly, and even died.


    Even deity realm powerhouses were not exception either!


    And the old ancestor was the last deity realm powerhouse in this place.


    Of course, the four great progenitors did not drive them to extermination but left behind a feeble ray of hope.


    If someone broke through to the Origin Deity Realm inside the Divine Beast Realm, or gave birth to a perfect divine beast and above physique'' spirit physique, the curse would automatically release.


    Back then, Ao Jun and Whitefeather were the closest of sisters. The two of them joined hands and acted out a diversion in the east while really attacking the west.


    One escaped to the Endless World passed the God Prohibited Demon Region, the other escaped until the God Prohibited Demon Region.


    Back then, the old ancestor was greatly enraged, that was why he laid down that Peach Blossom Forest.


    It was just that he did not expect that among Whitefeather''s descendants, one actually gave birth to a Perfect White Tiger Physique.


    While Ao Jun''s son was even the Atavism Dragon Soul of the legends!

 1247 Dragonlady Ao Jun

    Passing through a section of the dimly lit cave, Ye Yuan virtually used up all of his strength.


    The more he walked toward the depths, the faster Ye Yuan''s heart beat. The heavier the cold intent on his body as well.


    Following that intense psychological hint, Ye Yuan walked to the end of the cave.


    Before his eyes were a deep and serene pool, unable to see the bottom with a glance.


    The cold air emitting from the pool made Ye Yuan''s divine soul almost freeze.


    That bone-piercing cold intent made Ye Yuan unable to refrain from shuddering.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, and he blurted out, "This is �� the aura of Eternity Frost!"


    "That''s right, it''s precisely Eternity Frost! Looks like you completely inherited his mantle. Just based on this cold air, you pinpointed the Eternity Frost."


    A chilly female voice sounded out. It was precisely the voice that Ye Yuan heard outside.


    The voice was very indifferent, but that tiny hint of trembling exposed some of the fluster in the other party''s heart.


    The Eternity Frost was produced in the extreme northern lands. It was one of the top-grade medicinal materials to refine some water-attribute medicinal pills.


    This thing was incomparably precious. Even a piece the size of a fingernail was worth several cities too.


    The reason why it was called Eternity Frost was that even if burned with blazing flames, it would not thaw either.


    Ordinary Dao Profound Realm martial artists would die upon contact!


    Such a degree of coldness, the Eternity Frost in the depths of this pool was likely not little!


    "You �� You are?" Ye Yuan swallowed his saliva and said.


    The woman sighed despondently and said, "Yun-er, you grew up."


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. Hearing this sigh, Ye Yuan even had an impulse to hug the other party.


    "Could it be that �� you are �� you are ��"


    Ye Yuan''s breathing became ragged. Actually, he had a hint of speculation in his heart long ago. But when it really came to the point of verification, he became flustered again.


    He was worried, worried that the other party would deny, worried that his joy would come to naught.


    In his cognition, there had never been ''mother,'' this word.


    In over 500 years of his past life, Ye Yuan and his father had always mutually depended on each other through thick and thin.


    All the way until this life, when he opened his eyes and saw Ren Hongling, that was when Ye Yuan felt maternal love.


    It was just that Ye Yuan knew that that love was not his, but that ''Ye Yuan'' who had long died already.


    He was just enjoying that motherly love on behalf of ''Ye Yuan.''


    He was still Ji Qingyun in the end!


    "That''s right, I''m your mother," Ao Jun''s voice sounded out faintly.


    Hearing this answer, Ye Yuan''s emotions became incomparably complicated.


    Joy, hesitation, doubt, anger, all sorts of emotions mixed together, making him feel like he was about to burst open.


    He did not understand why his mother had never shown up in his life before.


    And also did not understand why Father never mentioned Mother.


    Far too many questions buried deep in his heart finally exploded at this instant, but the agitated from before was swept away clean.


    "Why?!"


    Thousands of words turned into this one word.


    Ye Yuan did not know that this was the land of exile and did not know about Ao Jun''s past.


    So when he knew that there was a mother, there was more of resentment!


    Gurgle ��


    Bubbles rose in the cold pool. With a whoosh, a dragon head rushed out of the pool, staring at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze.


    Four eyes faced each other, one pair of eyes was filled with shock, while the other pair was tender love.


    Ye Yuan understood the dragon race quite well. This azure dragon before his eyes looked old and doddering. Clearly, it was almost nearing its end.


    Furthermore, the dragon race mostly maintained human form. Only when its demon essence was insufficient to maintain human form, would it reveal its original form.


    This decrepit azure dragon before his eyes was his mother?


    Counting in the 500 years of his past life, he was born for less than 600 years too.


    600 years'' time, how could his mother be old to such a degree?


    "Yun-er, it''s all Mother''s fault! Mother gave birth to you, but didn''t take care of you for a single day! But over these 500 years, Mother has been thinking about you every minute and second."


    Ao Jun''s voice had always been like an old well without ripples. But at this time, her voice trembled. On that pair of dragon eyes, tears actually faintly appeared.


    In virtually an instant, Ao Jun''s aura withered considerably.


    Ye Yuan could clearly sense that what little left of Ao Jun''s vitality actually faded away considerably all of a sudden!


    This discovery involuntarily made Ye Yuan alarmed.


    "This �� What''s going on here?" Ye Yuan said in great astonishment.


    Although he could tell that the other party''s life force did not have much remaining, just a slight fluctuation in emotion made the vitality diminish so much at once?


    Even if Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao was heaven-defying, he had never before seen such a situation.


    Dragon tears fell down. Ao Jun said in relief, "It''s fine, for Mother to be able to see you again, even if I die right away, I''ll have no regrets too. Is your father �� well?"


    "He �� He''s very well!"


    Ye Yuan almost blurted out the truth. But suddenly recalling that Ao Jun did not seem to be able to suffer an emotional stimulus, he changed his words in the end.


    At this time, Ao Jun''s emotions recovered to that ripple-less old well state again, and opened her mouth to say, "Could it be that �� your father encountered some trouble?"


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s pause just now made Ao Jun have a foreboding feeling.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Father dreamed too big, it''s just that he ran into some trouble in pill refinement. With his strength, something that could cause trouble for him in the Divine Realm hasn''t been born yet."


    Ao Jun thought about it and said, "That''s true."


    Ye Yuan glanced at Ao Jun and asked, "Can you tell me just �� what on earth is going on?"


    Ao Jun sighed slightly and spoke about the curse of this land of exile.


    Ye Yuan was unbelievably shocked while listening by the side. Only then did he understand why Mother would abandon him and Father.


    He also finally understood why he would possess the Atavism Dragon Soul!


    It turned out that his body was flowing with half of the dragon race''s bloodline!


    "Mother, s-sorry!" Understanding the sequence of events, Ye Yuan could not resist choking.


    "Silly child, the one who should apologize is Mother! Mother has never done her duty as a mother for a single day. These few years, you and your father have suffered," Ao Jun comforted him.


    "That isn''t your fault! Mother, this cursed land, could it be that there''s no way to resolve it?"


    Ao Jun shook her head and said, "Unless the progenitor revives, otherwise, it''s irresolvable! It''s just that after my dragon race''s progenitor, nobody else was able to reach his heights anymore. Moreover, now that this Divine Realm is missing Heavenly Dao, there''s no way to step foot into the Deity Realm at all. Even Ancestor is also suppressed at the Half-Deity Realm."


    But when Ye Yuan heard these words, his eyes lit up and said, "This child possesses the Atavism Dragon Soul! Isn''t it said that as long as one possesses the atavism dragon soul, they will be able to attain the progenitor''s heights? That as long as this child breaks through to Deity Realm, it will be possible to lift this curse?"


    "What?! You �� You possess the Atavism Dragon Soul?"


    Ao Jun''s shock was also by no means insignificant.


    The Atavism Dragon Soul only existed in the dragon race''s memories. No one had never seen before, and it was also extremely hard to detect.


    Because nobody had attained the Azure Dragon Progenitor''s heights before!


    Hence, even Ao Jun, who gave birth to Ye Yuan, also did not know about the matter of Ye Yuan being in possession of the Atavism Dragon Soul.

 1248 Past Events

    "Of course! Otherwise, how would I know the Voice of the Dragon God, this kind of already lost martial technique?" Ye Yuan said.


    Ao Jun strove to the utmost of her ability to make her emotions calm down. But she discovered that her mind was hard to calm down.


    She finally understood now, what the old ancestor''s ''I understand'' earlier, meant.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to break the curse, there was bound to be some extraordinary aspect.


    But Ao Jun never dreamed that it was actually the Atavism Dragon Soul!


    But very soon, she sighed slightly again and said, "Even the Atavism Dragon Soul is useless too. At present, Divine Dao dwindled to zero, you''re unable to break the shackles at all."


    A look of determination appeared on Ye Yuan''s face, and he said, "This child came to this Godsfall Mountain Range in order to find the opportunity to break through to Deity Realm! I''ll become a deity or die trying!"


    Ao Jun said in surprise, "Yun-er, why be like this?"


    Ye Yuan briefly recounted the situation of the outside world but concealed many things.


    Ao Jun was already an expiring lamp without oil now. She was probably unable to withstand the blow of Ji Zhengyang''s passing.


    If not for this Eternity Frost close to freezing her physiological functions, Ao Jun would have long passed away, her Dao vanishing already.


    This piece of Eternity Frost was precisely what Ji Zhengyang retrieved only after expending tremendous effort when he entered deep into the lands of extreme north back then.


    "But the god-forbidden region is too dangerous! Even if a Deity Realm powerhouse goes in, it''s difficult to protect themselves too, let alone you!" Ao Jun said worriedly.


    Finally, she managed to see her son, so she did not wish to lose him just like this.


    Ye Yuan said with a firm gaze, "This child has a reason that he must go! Now, there''s another reason! Don''t you wish to go out and reunite with Father?"


    Hearing these words, a hopeful light appeared in Ao Jun''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan weaved a beautiful lie. He did not hope for Mother to wait for death so quietly.


    He already lost Father and did not wish to lose Mother anymore.


    No matter how bleak the hope, Ye Yuan also wished to save his mother!


    Disregarding the result after the fiend race dominated the Divine Realm, just the enmity of killing Father was already impossible for them to live under the same sky!


    If he could not exterminate Kanuo, he would rather die!


    Of course, this sort of words, he would not say them.


    Toward Ao Jun, he only said that it was for the human race''s righteous cause.


    After all, he inherited Absolute Heaven''s Dao teachings and became the Son of Heaven''s Mandate.


    This burden, he had to carry it.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s eyes, Ao Jun knew that she could not convince her son and could only heave a long sigh and said, "Your temper is exactly the same as your father''s; both of you are so stubborn!"


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not say anything.


    At this point, Ye Yuan''s heart-knot was already gone, and he already completely accepted Ao Jun.


    Even if meeting for the first time, Ye Yuan did not have much psychological obstacles either.


    That feeling of being connected by blood could not fool people.


    Moreover, this was a connection that originated from the depths of the soul.


    If not for that sort of strong resonance, Ye Yuan would not insist on barging into this cave either.


    The two people talked for a long time. This conversation took five days and five nights!


    In these five days and five nights, Ye Yuan finally knew about the events that happened back then.


    Turns out that not long after Ao Jun escaped the land of exile back then, she ran into the Ji Zhengyang and his party, who entered the void-forbidden region.


    Wandering alone in the Godsfall Mountain Range was very dangerous.


    Hence, Ji Zhengyang invited Ao Jun to join their team.


    Later on, Ji Zhengyang moved Ao Jun with his character. The two people became united in wedlock from then, Ao Jun also followed Ji Zhengyang back to the Medicine King Hall.


    It was just that Ao Jun dwelled in deep seclusion and seldom went out. Extremely few people knew about her existence.


    But before long, a problem occurred.


    Ji Zhengyang discovered that Ao Jun''s aging speed was too fast!


    Just over 200 years, Ao Jun seemed to have aged 10 thousand years.


    Under his repeated inquiry, Ao Jun told the entire story.


    And at that time, Ao Jun was already expecting.


    Ji Zhengyang used all of his abilities and was also unable to stop Ao Jun''s aging.


    He loved Ao Jun deeply and decided not to have this child.


    Because giving birth to the child, Ao Jun''s aging speed would be even faster!


    Ao Jun chose to leave without bidding farewell in order to give birth to Ye Yuan.


    She returned to the land of exile!


    In this period of time, Ji Zhengyang got the news of the Eternity Frost. Hence, he could only enter deep into the lands of extreme north first to search for the Eternity Frost.


    Later, he came to the land of exile bringing along the Eternity Frost, but discovered that this place already had the peach blossom grand array laid down.


    He threw caution to the winds and barged into the peach blossom formation, but he was nearly killed by the peach blossom formation.


    It was Ao Jun''s pleading that made the old ancestor save Ji Zhengyang.


    Ji Zhengyang wanted to stay at the land of exile at that time, but the old ancestor refused no matter what!


    In the end, Ji Zhengyang left behind the Eternity Frost and brought away Ye Yuan who was in swaddling clothes.


    In this land of exile, the elapsing speed of Ao Jun''s life was greatly reduced. Coupled with Ji Zhengyang''s Eternity Frost, that was how she was able to live until now.


    Except, Ao Jun was now a living dead person and was completely unable to leave this cold pool.


    Even a trace of mood swing would hasten the elapsing of her life.


    Hearing these past events, Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly.


    This was truly fate making a mockery of men!


    Only then, did Ye Yuan knew why Father would always enter deep into the Godsfall Mountain Range every few years.


    He only thought that Father was searching for opportunities back then, but did not think that there was still this layer of reason present.


    Even separated by a peach blossom forest, it could also slightly relieve the pain of lovesickness.


    It was just too bad that they were already forever separated by life and death now.


    ...


    Five days later, Ye Yuan came out from inside the cave. His gaze, when looking at the old ancestor, was filled with complexity.


    "Huhu, if you want to take revenge, bring it on," the old ancestor smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it. Actually, I can understand you. Mother is already someone on the verge of death. You don''t wish to have Father and I be reared in this place like livestock in pens as well, so you drove us out. This cave is a grave, but how is this Divine Beast Realm not a large tomb? If my conjectures are right, outsiders will probably also be cursed if they stay here for a long time, right?"


    The old ancestor''s smile withdrew, his gaze revealing a look of surprise.


    He really did not expect that Ye Yuan would say these words.


    "Haha, Jun-er really gave birth to a fine son!" The old ancestor suddenly burst out laughing.


    "It''s just that I''m very confused, how did you know that I''ll be fine if I go to the outside world? Presumably, you also didn''t perceive that I was of the Atavism Dragon Soul back then, right?"


    The old ancestor smiled and said, "Because you''re a human! This land of exile''s curse is merely targeted at demon races! As long as people of the outside world enters this place for over half a year, they will likewise be planted with the curse! It''s just that this place never had outsiders enter before, so this sort of thing, nobody knew either; that''s all."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "So that''s how it is! I still have one more thing. Old Ancestor please resolve the confusion."


    The old ancestor nodded and said, "You say."


    "When I previously saw the four great head elders use the four clans'' martial techniques at the same time, it actually produced a certain kind of resonance. From there, the power increased tremendously! I wonder if this was coincidental, or the four of them specially trained before in the path of joint-attacks?" Ye Yuan said curiously


    The old ancestor smiled and said, "This will have to start from the origin of the Four Symbols Family Clans."

 1249 Activating the Sacred Dragon Token!

    "Four clans'' origin?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern, not expecting that what he got was actually such an answer.


    After Heavenly Dao went missing, the Divine Realm''s Demon Region declined very quickly.


    After that war 50 thousand years ago, the Four Symbols Family Clans even suffered a major loss in vitality.


    Right now, although there was Long Min, this kind of powerhouse, they were still much weaker than the human race on the whole.


    In the process, there were a lot of secrets buried in oblivion in history.


    Ye Yuan really did not know what the origin of the Four Symbols Family Clans was.


    Since the Four Symbols Family Clans each had their own progenitors, then where did these progenitors come from?


    The old ancestor slowly said, "Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, Black Tortoise of the North, the Four Great Divine Beasts'' progenitors were once the Divine Realm''s guardian divine beasts. The four great progenitors'' strengths were exceedingly formidable. Working together to suppress the four directions, no one dared to disobey! Even Origin Deity Realm powerhouses will also turn to dust with a flick of a finger under the Four Symbols Grand Array formed by them!"


    Ye Yuan''s mind was in upheaval from hearing it.


    What kind of existence Origin Deity Realm was, Ye Yuan was completely unable to imagine.


    Could it be that the four great progenitors were beings even stronger than Origin Deity Realm?


    "Just what kind of existences where the four great progenitors?" Ye Yuan could not resist asking.


    But the old ancestor shook his head and said, "I don''t know either! I just know, very, very strong! Their strength is not what the likes of us can surmise at all. As for the specifics of how strong, only they themselves knew."


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath, instantly feeling somewhat perturbed.


    The four great progenitors, that was definitely existences more than a million years ago.


    Then just what was the even more ancient Divine Realm like?


    Why did the present Divine Realm wither to this point?


    Ye Yuan discovered that the more he knew, the more uncertain he became instead.


    This Divine Realm was far from as simple as seen on the surface.


    "All of the Four Symbols Family Clans'' martial techniques were passed down by the four great progenitors, complementing each other, and secretly encompassed Heavenly Dao. Once performed at the same time, the resonance of Dao will appear, and from there, the power will increase greatly," the old ancestor said.


    "So, that''s how it is!" Only then did Ye Yuan come to a realization.


    The four great head elders'' strength was merely the bottom of the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    But their combined attack was even a notch above the Darkness Divine King, Sikong Shang.


    The amplification involved was not just a tiny bit.


    "Huhu, the four of them, their strengths are too weak. They are completely unable to unleash the power of the combined attack. If it was the combined attack of Grotto Profound Deity Realms, they can even cross a major realm to battle!" said the old ancestor.


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted, frightened by the old ancestor''s words.


    Deity Realm powerhouses crossing a major realm to battle, this was simply something unimaginable.


    Even for peak Grotto Profound Deity Realms, it was also impossible to be a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm''s match.


    This kind of increase was simply inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked again, "The Four Symbols Family Clans'' Seven Constellation Grand Array could even summon their respective guardian spirits. I wonder if they can produce a resonance by being together?"


    Back then, Ji Canglan restrained the spirit of the white tiger, but was thwarted by Ye Yuan.


    His goal at that time was just the spirit of the white tiger, and not destroy the tiger clan.


    It seemed like the fiend race wanted to use the spirits of the four symbols to do something.


    Ye Yuan only had this query because he recalled this matter.


    The old ancestor nodded and said, "That four Seven Constellation Grand Arrays were originally one. Combined together, it''s called the 28 Constellation Grand Array. It was laid down by the four great sacred ancestors, and had a trace of ancestral spirit entrusted in it. Later on, the four clans'' members became more and more, and there was a powerhouse who split the grand array into four, becoming each clan''s clan protecting grand array. It''s just that presently, Heavenly Dao is missing, the power of the ancestral spirits are less than one-ten thousandth as well, its power far worse than before. However, if the four spirits combined attacks, that power absolutely can''t be underestimated."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze dimmed slightly. He kept feeling that Kanuo''s goal was not merely unifying the Divine Realm.


    Also, Kanuo had once said something ''Immortal Grove Region'' before. It seemed like it was referring to the Divine Realm.


    Ye Yuan had always found this very odd. But this kind of thing, probably even Fang Tian could not answer him either.


    But, all these were not important. The most important thing right now was to eradicate Kanuo!


    As long as he could break through to Deity Realm, by relying on the Voice of the Dragon God, he was absolutely able to kill Kanuo.


    Even if his strength recovered completely, as long as there was Heavenly Dao suppressing, the outcome was also the same.


    "You''re leaving?" asked the old ancestor.


    Ye Yuan came back to his senses from his rumination and said with a nod, "I''m going to enter the god-forbidden region and search for the opportunity to become a deity!"


    The old ancestor''s gaze turned sharp, and he said in surprise, "The god-forbidden region is a place that even Deity Realm powerhouses don''t dare to set foot in!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "But that''s also the only place where it''s possible to become a deity! Old ancestor, perhaps �� you''ll come a day where you can see the light of day again!"


    The old ancestor''s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing a look of shock.


    Linking it to Ye Yuan possessing the Atavism Dragon Soul, he understood what Ye Yuan wanted to do very soon.


    Now that Heavenly Dao was missing, this kind of thinking �� was tantamount to a fool''s talk!


    Except, why was he so excited?


    "Sigh, for Jun-er to have a son like you, it''s truly obtaining heaven''s blessing! Yun-er, you possess the Atavism Dragon Soul, I have nothing to teach you. But there''s one thing that I believe can help you a little." The old ancestor said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he quietly waited for the old ancestor to carry on talking.


    The old ancestor said quietly, "The Sacred Dragon Token, you probably still can''t control it yet, right?"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "How did you know?"


    The old ancestor laughed and said, "Heavenly Dao is missing, Divine Dao dwindling to zero, there''s naturally nobody in the outside world who can control the Sacred Dragon Token! And the method to control the Sacred Dragon Token, only the dragon clan''s Deity Realm powerhouses know!"


    "This �� I''ve attempted to produce a resonance with the Sacred Dragon Token using divine rank dragon wave before, and also attempted to activate with blood essence. But without exception, they all failed," Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    The Sacred Dragon Token was a heavenly divine artifact, its power was definitely a grade above the Evil Extermination Sword.


    Concerning all these, Ye Yuan thought about all the methods that he could think of but had never succeeded before.


    Feeling helpless, Ye Yuan could only give up.


    He did not expect that there was actually an unexpected surprise today. The old ancestor actually knew the method to activate the Sacred Dragon Token.


    "Huhu, the Sacred Dragon Token is my dragon race''s supreme treasure, and it was personally forged by Lord Sacred Ancestor, who used it as the token to be patriarch. If it could be activated by anyone who obtained it, then wouldn''t my race have the possibility of being controlled by people at any time?" said old ancestor.


    "Makes sense," Ye Yuan said with a nod.


    "The Sacred Dragon Token was forged by the sacred ancestor with blood essence, and he used a great divine ability to integrate the method of activating the Sacred Dragon Token into the inheritance memory. Only dragon race powerhouses that broke through to the Deity Realm can get to know the method of using the Sacred Dragon Token. Of course, that''s also just knowing. Only by obtaining the Sacred Dragon Token''s recognition can one become the lord of the dragon clan, and be able to activate the Sacred Dragon Token. Otherwise, even if Origin Deity Realm powerhouses obtain it, they would also be unable to unleash its true power!" said the old ancestor.


    "So that''s how it is! This way, there''s only you alone in this world currently who knows the way to activate this Sacred Dragon Token?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    No wonder even he used everything up his sleeves, he was still unable to activate the Sacred Dragon Token.


    If not for him mistakenly entering the land of exile, he could probably only activate it by breaking through to the Deity Realm.

 1250 Transfigured Heaven Stabilizing Divine King

    Inside a mountain ridge not far from the Soul Refining Sect space, figures huddled together. Several martial artists were currently being hunted down by a desolate beast.


    "Split up and run! This desolate beast''s speed is too fast! Once it catches up, none of us can escape," suddenly, one of them shouted.


    That desolate beast''s aura was turbulent. Moreover, its speed was bizarre, looking like it was about to catch up to the few people.


    Right at this time, everyone just felt a blur before their eyes, as if a figure passed by them.


    Boom!


    Flesh and blood flew everywhere!


    The few people turned deathly pale from fright and discovered that the desolate beast was already smashed into meat paste.


    A figure had his back facing them, standing with hands behind his back.


    The few martial artists could not help exchanging glances, shocked by the other party''s skill.


    "Many thanks for Senior taking action to help!" The few people bowed their bodies to salute.


    That person slowly turned around. When everyone saw the other party''s face, their faces all changed drastically!


    "Heaven Stabilizing Divine King! You �� You''re actually not dead!"


    The few people turned pale from fright. The one who saved them was actually Zhuge Qingxuan, who they thought had already died inside the Soul Refining Sect space.


    "Jeje, you guys seem to �� hope for this seat to die very much?" Zhuge Qingxuan suddenly said with an eerie laugh.


    The current Zhuge Qingxuan''s temperament was akin to a different person from before.


    Although the Zhuge Qingxuan in the past was overbearing, he did not have any sinister feeling at all.


    But now, just this smile made a chill run down people''s spines.


    Giving him a glance, there was a feeling like falling into an ice cellar.


    "T-This lowly one doesn''t mean that! We heard that Your Excellency encountered a huge problem in the Soul Refining Sect space, and even thought that ��"


    That person wanted to explain but was directly cut off by Zhuge Qingxuan with a wave of his hand.


    "This seat asks you, where''s Ye Yuan now?!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.


    The few people''s expressions changed, virtually shaking their heads at the same time.


    The Heaven Surmounting Divine King was the savior of them brothers. How could they betray the Heaven Surmounting Divine King?


    "Your Excellency, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King actually came as well? This lowly one �� never saw him!" That person at the front of the few people said.


    "Jeje, still dare to play this sort of little tricks in front of this seat? Looks like the few of you are good brothers, right? Since that''s the case ��"


    While talking, Zhuge Qingxuan casually pointed a finger out.


    Pierce!


    A martial artist''s forehead directly had a large hole pierced through, toppling stiffly onto the ground without even having time to resist.


    "Fourth Brother!" When that person in front saw this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot from rage.


    "Give you three breaths of time!" Zhuge Qingxuan said coolly.


    The eyes of that person in the lead because bloodshot, glaring at Zhuge Qingxuan angrily.


    "Three breaths your ass! You despicable fellow, you aren''t even fit to carry shoes for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King! Heaven is really blind, to actually not make you, this mongrel, die inside! Brothers, even if we''re exterminated today, we can''t betray the Heaven Surmounting Divine King either! Attack together with me and kill this vermin!"


    There was a total of five people in this party. They were originally itinerant cultivators who became sworn brothers because their temperaments were congenial. The older brother was already a Void Mystic powerhouse, and the other few people were also all Divine King Realm powerhouses.


    They originally did not have much feeling toward the struggle between the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and Heaven Stabilizing Divine King. But entering the Godsfall Mountain Range this trip, they were first chased by Zhuge Qingxuan to be cannon fodders, then moved by Ye Yuan later.


    Disregard thorough awakening, but to say betraying Ye Yuan, they were not willing!


    In their hearts, Ye Yuan was the hero of the human race, and their only hope.


    Betray Ye Yuan was not much different from personally burying the human race.


    Zhuge Qingxuan killed number four but did not make them brothers fearful. Instead, it stimulated the courage in their bones!


    Except, their strength was utterly not worth mentioning in Zhuge Qingxuan''s eyes.


    Seeing the four people go crazy, Zhuge Qingxuan gave a cold laugh and casually pointed a finger out, like crushing dead leaves and branches, killing the four people.


    "Jeje, that brat has such impressive skill, to actually seem to have forced a bewitching potion down these people''s throats. This feels �� like the Absolute Heaven back then! You''re �� far inferior compared to him."


    Suddenly, the words that Zhuge Qingxuan said dripped with sarcasm.


    The next instant, he recovered to his original tone and said with a cold snort, "None of your business! You were merely a dog that was driven out by Absolute Heaven to the Heavenly Dao back then, that''s all!"


    "Jeje, your shameless appearance very much has the style of Zuo Zong back then! Right now, you and I are of one body, that punk is our common enemy. Don''t scold yourself anymore. Without this deity, you can''t kill him!"


    "Humph! Be more obedient for this seat! Otherwise, this seat wouldn''t mind perishing together with you!"


    "Screw off! People like you, this deity understands too well! You won''t perish together with me! Don''t talk rubbish anymore, that punk is probably about to enter the god-forbidden region now already! You let this seat control the body and display the Blood Escape Tracking Grand Art, I''ll definitely find that brat''s tracks!"


    "If you have a way to track, why didn''t you say earlier?"


    "Jeje, you didn''t ask either! How can this deity''s means be what the likes of mortals like you can surmise? Even the Zuo Zong back then also had to fear this deity somewhat!"


    "..."


    Turns out that on that day, Zhuge Qingxuan and Li Gui had a great battle, and directly collapsed the space.


    Originally, Li Gui''s strength was a magnitude greater.


    But at the critical moment, because Li Gui''s undying evil ghost was not completed, it resulted in his divine soul having a fatal flaw. Having the opportunity grasped by Zhuge Qingxuan, it actually ended up as the outcome of both being defeated and wounded in the end.


    However, Li Gui''s means were truly fantastical. He actually carried a wisp of remnant soul and charged straight into Zhuge Qingxuan''s body, wanting to seize possession.


    The two people had another great battle inside Zhuge Qingxuan''s body.


    In the end, no one could do anything to the other.


    Who knew that the two people''s divine souls actually tangled together in the end.


    Now, the two people were sharing a body.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King became neither human nor ghost appearance now.


    ...


    "Done!"


    Divine Beast Realm, Ye Yuan was inexplicably surprised.


    A drop of fresh blood oozed out on his fingertip.


    "Quick, drip the sacred ancestor blood essence onto the Sacred Dragon Token!" the old ancestor hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and dripped that drop of blood essence on the Sacred Dragon Token.


    Boom!


    A terrifying dragon pressure billowed into the sky. The sound of a dragon roar reverberated throughout the vast expanse of open ground.


    Ye Yuan felt that his fleshy and blood finally produced a trace of resonance with the Sacred Dragon Token.


    However, it was merely just a tiny trace.


    The might of a heavenly divine artifact, with his current strength, he was unable to unleash it at all.


    Even in the Divine Dao Era, heavenly divine artifacts were extremely rare too.


    Wanting to activate the Sacred Dragon Token, one must condense sacred ancestor blood essence with a Divine Dao secret art, and then drip it on the Sacred Dragon Token.


    This kind of Divine Dao secret art was condensed with divine inscriptions. For ordinary people to want to comprehend it, it was absolutely not the work of a day.


    But this was nothing to Ye Yuan, this Atavism Dragon Soul.


    He only used three days'' time and thoroughly comprehended this set of Divine Dao secret art.


    "Come, give the power a try!" the old ancestor said with a faint smile.


    It was also his first time witnessing the power of the Atavism Dragon Soul. These few days, when he saw Ye Yuan comprehending the divine inscriptions, his jaws really hit the ground in shock.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, a rod swung out.


    Boom!


    An over 70 thousand feet large mountain was leveled to the ground just like that!

 1251 Battling the Stonemen Again

    "This �� Is this the true power of the Sacred Dragon Token?"


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan was also incredibly shocked.


    An over 70 thousand feet mountain, even displaying the Fury Sword Fire Lotus with the Evil Extermination Sword, there was also no way to do it to such an extent.


    But this Sacred Dragon Token accomplished it easily.


    "Huhu, this power is merely the tip of the iceberg of the Sacred Dragon Token. If an Origin Deity Realm used this Sacred Dragon Token, moving mountains and filling the seas are just inconsequential," the old ancestor said with a laugh.


    "Mm?" Ye Yuan''s brows suddenly furrowed.


    "You''re going to break through?" The old ancestor looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise.


    Currently, all the essence energy in Ye Yuan''s body was surging, his realm very unstable. Clearly, it was the sign of being about to break through.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The Sacred Dragon Token absorbed the sacred ancestor blood essence and returned back large quantities of divine essence, directly assisting me to break through the bottleneck."


    At once, Ye Yuan did not hesitate anymore, breaking through on the spot.


    To Ye Yuan, the breakthrough of essence energy realm was just water flowing when the canal was formed. It already did not cause much of a wave for him.


    After a day, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, emitting rays of brilliant light.


    After breaking through, Ye Yuan was a first-rate divine king. Just one more step, and he could reach grand completion.


    At that time, he would be able to refine the Dao Defying Pill and assault that fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm!


    The old ancestor was observing the whole process of Ye Yuan''s breakthrough all along. A glimmer of shock also flashed across his eyes.


    "I didn''t expect that your primary cultivation method is actually a peak divine formula too! Such pure essence energy, when you reach grand completion, this old man probably won''t be your match anymore!" the old ancestor said with an emotional sigh.


    Essence, energy, and spirit, three paths, what Ye Yuan cultivated were all the top-grade Divine Dao arts.


    Once achieved grand completion, the power would be very terrifying!


    So much so that it would be even greater compared to the Fang Tian back then!


    "Ancestor is limited by Heavenly Dao, that''s why you feel so vexed. It''s not that your strength is really no good," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The ancestor chuckled and said, "Are you leaving now?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I''ll go bid farewell to Mother, then I''m leaving."


    The ancestor let out a sigh and said, "This path is arduous, I wish you speedy success!"


    When Ye Yuan returned to the cold pool, there naturally could not dispense with a bout of reluctance to part with Ao Jun. But finally, he still bade farewell and left.


    According to Ye Yuan''s estimations, Ao Jun at most still had several decades of longevity inside this cool pool. Wasting an additional day, Ao Jun would be in a little more danger.


    Although the Eternity Frost was magical, it was also unable to stop the curse of this land of exile.


    For her to be able to live until now was already a miracle in itself.


    The old ancestor sent Ye Yuan and his group out of the Peach Blossom Forest. White Light suddenly looked at Ye Yuan and said with a vicissitude of emotion, "Big Brother, I really didn''t expect that you and I actually still had such an origin. No wonder the first time I laid eyes on you, I felt very cordial."


    Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly. He completely did not expect that entering the Godsfall Mountain Range this time, it actually resolved the mystery of his background, and found the mother that he had never met before.


    The White Light who went through thick and thin with him was actually the descendant of Mother''s close sister.


    Perhaps, everything was really foreordained by heaven.


    He met with misfortune and entered the Endless World, then entered the Endless Forest and saved White Light.


    Going in circles for a bit, the two people barged into the land of exile together again.


    All these were summed up by a ''fate'' word.


    "Yeah, haha! The little tiger back then is already a leviathan of the Divine Realm now," Ye Yuan said with a big laugh.


    White Light''s face involuntarily turned red, and he retorted, "To say leviathan, you''re the one right, Big Brother? You''re already the human race and demon race''s common leader!"


    Li-er smile and said, "The two of you brothers stop blowing your own trumpets. Big Brother Yuan, where are we going now? Going over from here, it seems like we still have to pass through those stonemen''s territory. If we go over, they will probably find trouble again."


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "If they don''t come to find trouble with me, I still want to find trouble with them! This young master wants to take a look at whether or not they really can''t be killed!


    The three people came to the foot of the mountain. Ye Yuan did not say a word. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.


    Boom!


    A palm came out, debris flew everywhere, directly shaving off a small part of the mountain.


    This intense tremor startled those ten stonemen awake.


    "Damn it! Who is it? To dare disturb our slumber?" Stonebrave''s roar came over.


    Three figures landed, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    "Blockhead, this little lord, I, returned!"


    Stonebrave could not help being stifled. Only after staring at Ye Yuan for a long time did he recall who Ye Yuan was and could not help saying in terror, "You �� didn''t you enter that Peach Blossom Forest? How can you possibly come out?"


    This place was neighboring the Peach Blossom Forest. Stonebrave naturally knew about the Peach Blossom Forest''s terror.


    He had seen quite a number of people enter the Peach Blossom Forest before, but no one had ever come out before.


    But this human in front of him actually came out!


    "Heh, however vast the world is, which place can I, this little lord, not go it? Just a mere peach blossom forest, this little lord is about to go to the god-forbidden region right away." Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    "God-forbidden region? Heh, human, you really dare to boast. That place, even if Deity Realm powerhouses go in, it''s also without return. With just the likes of your bit of strength, you also wish to enter the god-forbidden region?" Stonebrave said in disbelief.


    "You can''t go, doesn''t mean that this little lord can''t go!" Ye Yuan said.


    Stonebrave burst out laughing when he heard that and said, "What a joke! You can''t even go past me, you still want to enter the god-forbidden region? Brothers, crush him into a meat pancake for me!"


    Ten blockheads attacked together. That spectacle was truly grand.


    Except, Ye Yuan broke through to first-rate divine king, his strength went up another level.


    Compared to before, he was much stronger.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, the Fury Sword Fire Lotus suddenly attacked, directly welcoming Stonebrave''s iron-fist.


    Boom!


    One of Stonebrave''s arms was directly blown away.


    He looked at Ye Yuan in terror and said in disbelief, "Human, just how long has it been, your strength actually improved so quickly!"


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "This is just starting!"


    Stonebrave gave a loud roar. His body was just like a magnet, sucking the rubble over.


    Very soon, his arm recovered.


    "Human, I admit that you''re very strong! But our stonemen clan can''t be killed! No matter how powerful your strength is, it''s of no avail as well!" Stonebrave said.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and said, "Is that so? But this young master doesn''t believe that there''s someone who can''t be killed in this world!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared.


    Boom!


    A stoneman was directly blown to stone rubble by the Fury Sword Fire Lotus.


    Stonebrave was greatly enraged when he saw the situation. Brandishing his fists, he smashed over towards Ye Yuan.


    However, after Ye Yuan broke through to first-rate divine king, his movement technique had a substantial increase again, and he flew away in a blink of an eye.


    That stoneman that was smashed to pieces pieced back together very quickly.


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a look of surprise. He relied on his movement technique and wandered about between the ten stonemen.


    Occasionally attacking, it directly smashed a stoneman to pieces.


    However, Ye Yuan opened up his perception fully and captured every detail of the battlefield.


    Suddenly, a hint of a smile flickered across the corners of his mouth.


    "Human, do you only know how to dodge and hide?" Stonebrave could not catch Ye Yuan and could not help flying into a great rage.


    "Huhu, coming!"


    Boom!


    A sword attacked, directly blowing a stoneman to pieces.


    However, Ye Yuan''s next action made Stonebrave and the rest stop abruptly.

 1252 Heart of Stone

    In Ye Yuan''s hand, he was grasping a small piece of light-gray crystal.


    This crystal was very small. Placing in a pile of rubble, it was not conspicuous at all.


    Mixing together with those stone fragments, one could not perceive anything different at all.


    If one did not look closely, then one could not tell at all.


    When Stonebrave and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of them was unbelievably panic-stricken, and no longer dared to step forward.


    "Huhu, why aren''t you guys attacking anymore? Weren''t you still pretty brave just now?"


    Ye Yuan looked towards Stonebrave with a broad smile and suddenly switched to an astonished expression and said, "Eh? Why didn''t he revive this time?"


    Stonebrave and the rest fell silent. They were all stonemen, their faces did not have very rich expressions.


    But very clearly, an oppressed to the extreme feeling crept out among these stonemen.


    "All not speaking anymore? I wonder what kind of outcome it will be if I crush it? It seems like somebody said just now that they can''t be killed."


    Finished talking, essence energy fluctuated on Ye Yuan''s body, and he was about to crush that piece of crystal.


    Stonebrave turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, "Don''t! We �� We concede!"


    With him saying so, it was equivalent to admitting that this crystal was their weak spot.


    Actually, it was already not important whether Stonebrave admitted it or not.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, that''s more like it! If I didn''t guess wrongly, this is your fatal weak spot, right? What do you mean can''t be killed? Not even coming up with a good thing when boasting."


    Others not being able to find the stonemen''s weak point; it was because they did not have that strength.


    Wanting to shatter these stonemen into fragments multiple times and even find their weak point from there, this was not what the average person could accomplish.


    These stonemen were all existences comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Stonebrave''s strength was even a pinnacle existence among the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    Wanting to accomplish this was easier said than done.


    In the process of that fight previously, Ye Yuan took every detail of the field into his sights.


    Don''t look at how his movements were erratic. Actually, he was examining those stonemen that were shattered every single time.


    In the end, he discovered that no matter how he struck them down, those rubble pieces would revolve around this light-gray crystal and rejoin.


    Therefore, this piece of crystal was clearly where the crux of their revival lay.


    As long as they shattered this crystal, they most likely could not revive anymore.


    "You �� How did you know? I''m certain that currently in this Divine Realm, nobody knows about my stonemen clan''s weak point anymore!" Stonebrave said gloomily.


    The stonemen clan was already extinct in the Divine Realm. It should be impossible for there to be someone who knew their weak point.


    But �� this human in front of them actually really found it!


    This made him very depressed, very perplexed.


    "Huhu, you all have life. Since there''s life, then there''s a weak point. As long as one searches diligently, they can always find it. Now, it''s your turn to answer this young master''s questions. What''s this crystal? I feel that it''s rather extraordinary."


    Ye Yuan held this small piece of crystal in his hand and discovered that there was actually faintly a strange undulation transmitting out inside.


    This undulation was just like a human''s heart, beating non-stop.


    This was probably where the source of the stonemen being able to revive non-stop lied.


    "This �� "


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s question, Stonebrave hesitated.


    "Looks like you don''t care about your clan member''s life. Since that''s the case ��"


    "Hold on! I''ll talk! I''ll talk! This �� This is the Heart of Stone, it''s also the energy source of my stonemen clan. With it around, we''ll have an endless stream of energy," Stonebrave said.


    "Uh �� Heart of Stone? That''s also fitting. But �� it shouldn''t stop here, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Although these stonemen''s strength were powerful, their temperaments were very straightforward and did not have much cunningness at all.


    Stonebrave was a little old-handed, but it was also very limited.


    Compared to the human race, they were too honest and simple.


    Although one was unable to observe their expressions, one could also detect many things from their undulations.


    Stonebrave was not willing to speak of the Heart of Stone. Clearly, there were other concerns.


    It was also precisely because of this point that Ye Yuan did not deal a killing blow.


    He felt that these stonemen seemed to have a tremendous grudge toward the human race. Hence, that was why he attacked him.


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s disposition, he would have long crushed this Heart of Stone. Why would he talk so much crap with Stonebrave?


    "L-Little Brother, Stonebrave was wrong! Stonebrave shouldn''t have opposed you! I-I beg you to let Stonebold go. We �� We''ll escort you out!"


    Stonebrave thoroughly yielded. He was not willing to say what kind of secret this Heart of Stone had, but did not know how to lie either. He could only use this sort of method to implore Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Heh, could it be that you think this young master is very easy-going? Don''t bargain with this young master, you have no leeway to choose! Going to speak or not?"


    Ye Yuan raised his hand high up, the essence energy on his body rippling once again.


    Stonebrave''s eyes swiveled around, clearly very conflicted.


    But he finally still steeled his heart and said viciously, "Stonebold, sorry! The secret of the Heart of Stone should be buried in the annals of history! Otherwise, none of us can live either!"


    Finished talking, Stonebrave raised his hand, and it was a punch. The target was actually Stonebold''s Heart of Stone in Ye Yuan''s hand!


    Ye Yuan could not help being incomparably shocked. He could feel that Stonebrave cared about Stonebold''s life and death very much.


    But when he forcefully inquired about the Heart of Stone''s secrets, Stonebrave actually made such a resolution.


    It seemed like this Stone of Heart was not ordinary!


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, lightly dodging Stonebrave''s punch.


    "Heh, you, this leader, actually want to kill your own clan member in front of everybody!" Ye Yuan deliberately mocked.


    "Humph! You humans are all so despicable! Big Brother Stonebrave doing so, isn''t it still all forced by you?"


    "Brothers, we fight it out with him! Today, either he dies, or we perish!"


    "Kill this human, take revenge for Stonebold!"


    What made Ye Yuan surprised was that not only did these stonemen not have the slightest intention of grumbling at Stonebrave, they become even more bounded by a common hatred for the enemy instead.


    "Heh, didn''t expect that Big Brother actually became a villain for once today. But these stonemen are really honest and frank," White Light said helplessly.


    "There seems to be a very unpleasant past between the stonemen and human race," Li-er said.


    The nine remaining stonemen swarmed around Ye Yuan. But after Ye Yuan''s strength skyrocketed, they were not a match at all.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan counter-killed several stonemen again, holding their Heart of Stone in his hands.


    "Argh �� Damn human, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    Suddenly, Stonebrave''s entire person seemed to have turned berserk. A dazzling light emitted from his glabella.


    When the other stonemen saw this scene, each and every one of them cried out in shock.


    "Big Brother Stonebrave, don''t!"


    But Stonebrave did not have the intention of stopping.


    Ye Yuan knew that that glabella place was precisely where the Heart of Stone lied.


    A terrifying undulation came over. Ye Yuan actually felt a sensation of facing death!


    "Not good! That blockhead is going to self-detonate! What a terrifying energy undulation! Big Brother is in danger!" White Light exclaimed. White Light''s expression changed as he said this.

 1253 World Suppressing Stele!

    "Bit off more than I can chew this time!"


    Ye Yuan never thought that these blockheads could actually still self-detonate.


    However, he was not really seized with fear and trepidation.


    Putting aside that even three great fiendgods could not breach his defense, even if it was really breached, his Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art could still ensure his survival.


    It was just that he did not expect that this Stonebrave was actually so resolute.


    Stonebrave''s large hand waved, sending all of his clansmen flying, while he himself sped over in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    At this time, his entire body was filled with a horrifying aura, just like a time-bomb.


    At this time, a gentle energy suddenly appeared, wrapping Stonebrave inside.


    The Stonebrave who was originally about to explode and already almost disintegrating was actually suppressed back,


    That horrifying aura dissipated to nothing just like that.


    Boom!


    An enormous stoneman stood in the crowd with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan could not help looking towards his new-arrival stoneman in surprise. His size was even larger than Stonebrave. The degree of danger was clearly even greater compared to Stonebrave!


    "Patriarch!"


    "Patriarch!"


    ...


    When those stonemen saw him, each one of them was abnormally excited.


    "Patriarch, you finally woke up! This damn human killed Stonebold they all! You have to take revenge for them!" Stonebrave said with grief and indignation.


    He hated Ye Yuan to the bones right now and wished to perish together with him.


    Of course, this was just his beautiful wish.


    Ye Yuan looked at this large blockhead, akin to facing a great enemy.


    Although the other party was a stoneman, the aura coming from the other party''s body was actually somewhat similar to the old ancestor!


    Could it be that this guy before his eyes was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse?


    That gentle energy earlier was mysterious and hard to fathom, and actually suppressed the Stonebrave who was about to self-detonate back.


    That kind of control over energy laws was absolutely not what the present Ye Yuan could achieve.


    The stoneman patriarch did not bother with Stonebrave, but looked towards Ye Yuan instead and said, "Human, on your body �� seems to have an aura that this deity is familiar with."


    This deity!


    As expected, a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    The stoneman patriarch''s words made Ye Yuan''s and his party''s faces change.


    This time, it seemed like they really bit off more than they could chew.


    "Familiar aura?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, not quite certain what it meant.


    The stoneman patriarch said, "Let this deity thinking it over, it seems like �� the World Suppressing Stele''s aura."


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, and he hoisted up the Vast Heaven Stele in his palm and said curiously, "You''re talking about it?"


    The stoneman patriarch''s gaze turned intent and he said, "This �� This is really the World Suppressing Stele! The stoneman clan''s patriarch, Shi Potian, pays respect to Master."


    Shi Potian suddenly knelt on the ground with one knee. That enormous body shook the entire mountain until it rocked.


    Seeing this scene, not just the stoneman clan, even Ye Yuan was stunned too.


    When did the Vast Heaven Stele become the World Suppressing Stele again?


    "Patriarch, this �� What''s going on here?"


    Stonebrave was struck senseless by this scene. He seriously could not figure out why Patriarch knelt down towards a human.


    One had to know that the humans were the stoneman clan''s mortal enemy!


    "Yeah, Patriarch Shi, are you �� mistaken? It''s called Vast Heaven Stele, not World Suppressing Stele!" Ye Yuan also said rather baffledly.


    But Shi Potian said, "Absolutely won''t be wrong! The World Suppressing Stele''s aura is branded on the Heart of Stone of the stoneman clan''s patriarch, passing down from generation to generation. It absolutely won''t be wrong!"


    This time, Ye Yuan was truly taken aback from shock.


    He also perceived that the Heart of Stone was very important to the stoneman clan.


    Something that could be branded on the Heart of Stone, it was like inheritance memories, which absolutely would not be wrong.


    Then the problem came, why was the Vast Heaven Stele called World Suppressing Stele?


    "Patriarch Shi, you get up first. What on earth is going on here, can you tell me in detail?" Ye Yuan did a lifting hand gesture and said.


    But Stonebrave said with a look of righteous indignation and said, "Patriarch, Stonebold and their hearts of stone are still in this human''s hands! You �� How can you be like this?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said with an awkward look, "It was just joking around with you guys just now, don''t take it for real. H-Haha, actually, I just want to know the secret of the Heart of Stone, that''s all."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan immediately threw the few hearts of stone out.


    All of a sudden, the shattered rocks all gathered around the hearts of stone. Stonebold and the rest recovered again.


    This heart of stone was like the seven-inch point of a snake.


    Once grasped by someone, they would be unable to recover anymore.


    Even though Ye Yuan released Stonebold and the rest''s hearts of stone, Stonebrave did not buy it and was still filled with resentment towards Ye Yuan.


    In his view, Ye Yuan only did so due to Patriarch''s strength.


    Who knew that Shi Potian said indifferently, "The heart of stone is where the essence of my stoneman clan lies. To human martial artists, it''s a great tonic item. When human martial artists swallow the heart of stone, not only can their strength advance greatly, they can even comprehend the powers of law inside the heart of stone comprehensively. Originally, my stoneman clan was a powerful race in the Divine Realm. But later on, we were captured and killed without restraint by humans. Later, in order to escape the humans'' poaching, that''s why we hid in the Godsfall Mountain Range, eking out a feeble existence till today."


    "Patriarch! You �� How can you say this sort of words to a human?" Stonebrave said in shock.


    The heart of stone was the stoneman clan''s original sin.


    Only then did Ye Yuan understand why Stonebrave and the rest had such strong hostility towards him.


    An ancient powerful race declined until like this now, it was all because of greedy humans.


    With humans'' greed, they could really do this kind of unbelievably brutal thing.


    But toward Stonebrave''s shock and anger, Shi Potian was indifferent and said coolly, "The master of the World Suppressing Stele is our stoneman clan''s master! Even if he exterminates our entire clan, there''s also no cause for much criticism! This bit of secret has no need to hide. If Master requires it, just take our hearts of stone. There''s no harm either."


    Shi Potian''s words struck everyone with alarm.


    This degree of loyalty in Ye Yuan''s opinion was undoubtedly foolish loyalty.


    But Shi Potian''s words did not seem to be joking around.


    With the other party''s strength, even if he used the Voice of the Dragon God, he might not be a match either.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I have no interest in the hearts of stone. Just now, I was just somewhat curious."


    Ye Yuan making his position known aroused Stonebrave''s snickering instead.


    "High-sounding words! Right now, Patriarch already woke up. Of course you say that you''re not interested!"


    But White Light smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Heh, with my big brother''s comprehension abilities, does he still need your hearts of stone to comprehend Heavenly Dao? Growing from the Essence Qi Realm until now, he merely used 30 over year''s time!"


    Stonebrave said in disbelief when he heard that and said, "You''re lying! How can a human martial artist possibly have such great talent?"


    "Heh, my big brother''s improvement, haven''t you seen it too? Before he entered the Peach Blossom Forest and after he came out, how much time passed?" White Light said coolly.


    Stonebrave was startled. Only then did he recall this incident, and could not help somewhat believing White Light''s words.


    Ye Yuan had no intention of arguing. He asked Shi Potian, "Patriarch Shi, you said that the Vast Heaven Stele is the World Suppressing Stele. Just what''s the meaning of this?"


    But Shi Potian''s answer made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    "Actually, I don''t know either. I just know that our stoneman clan''s mission is to guard the World Suppressing Stele!"

 1254 The Divine Realm Doesnt Have the Fiend Race?

    "I just know that my ancestor guarded the World Suppressing Stele for generation after generation. All the way until one day, the World Suppressing Stele''s light is no more, becoming dim. Our stoneman clan''s calamity started then," Shi Potian said.


    Hearing Shi Potian''s words, Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly.


    The human race virtually wiped out the stoneman clan because of their greed, while the fiend race brought the crisis of race extermination to the human race now.


    Who was right and who was wrong, Ye Yuan was powerless to argue too.


    One could only say that this was a world where the weak were prey and the strong feasts.


    Although Ye Yuan was the human race''s leader, he could not represent the human race.


    Perhaps there were still other races that were already utterly buried in oblivion in the annals of history.


    But as a member of the human race, Ye Yuan had an unshirkable duty to resist the fiend race.


    As for the stoneman clan, Ye Yuan could only do his best to ensure their safety and let them carry on.


    Of course, if an opportunity arose.


    "Patriarch Shi, regarding the human race''s actions, this Ye is very sorry. If I can quell the turmoil of the fiend race, this Ye will definitely open up a chunk of region in the Divine Realm and let everyone have a place to rest," Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    Although Ye Yuan was not of some character that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind, towards clan extermination this kind of behavior, he felt that it went against heaven and reason.


    The human race suffering this calamity might not be without the reason of the stoneman clan.


    "Fiend race? I remember that the Divine Realm doesn''t have this race," Shi Potian suddenly said.


    This shock of Ye Yuan''s was by no means insignificant!


    Did not have this race?


    He did not doubt Shi Potian''s words. He had slumbered here for no idea how many tens of thousands of years. It might even be as long as a million years!


    That was also to say that in the era where Shi Potian was active, the Divine Realm did not have the fiend race, this race!


    Then �� Where did the current fiend race come from?


    Ye Yuan was somewhat perturbed!


    "You �� You''re certain? The Divine Realm is so huge, could there be some races that you don''t know of?" Ye Yuan felt like he still had to confirm a bit.


    After all, the Divine Realm was too large!


    Apart from already known areas, there were still many unknown lands.


    Perhaps the fiend race ran out from there?


    However, Shi Potian still shook his head and said, "The Divine Realm isn''t as large as you imagine. The places that Deity Realm powerhouses can go are far more than you imagine! But, I''ve never heard before that there''s some fiend race."


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and forcefully calmed his emotions at this time a little.


    He suddenly thought of something and asked again, "Patriarch Shi, then have you heard before Immortal Grove Region this name?"


    Shi Potian still shook his head and said, "Never heard before."


    "Then do you know if there are still higher realms above Origin Deity Realm? Or perhaps, breaking through to the Origin Deity Realm, would one ascend to a higher plane''s world?" Ye Yuan made a detailed inquiry.


    "According to what I know, the Origin Deity Realm shouldn''t be the endpoint. My stoneman clan''s ancestors'' strength should ride above the Deity Realm. However �� seems like they didn''t ascend to a higher plane world either," Shi Potian said.


    The more he asked, the more puzzled Ye Yuan got.


    The old ancestor once said before, the four symbols'' progenitors'' strength was unimaginable. It even rode above the Origin Deity Realm.


    Ye Yuan still remembered the land of ancestral spirits in the White Tiger Clan back then. The White Tiger Sacred Ancestor turned its nose up at the Deity Realm.


    This was also to say that even if one broke through to the Origin Deity Realm, they were also unable to ascend.


    Then, where did the fiend race come from?


    Ye Yuan felt a thousand confused thoughts to attend to, just like a ball of huge mess in his mind, completely unable to sort out.


    "Forget it, forget it, since I can''t sort it out, then I''ll ignore it! Patriarch Shi, previously was all a misunderstanding. Ye Yuan had no intention of offending. We still have urgent matters on hand and will take our leave here," Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    "Where is Master going?" Shi Potian asked.


    "We''re going to the god-forbidden region to find the Kunwu Divine Wood," Ye Yuan did not hide it and said honestly.


    Stonebrave could not help being shocked when he heard that and said, "You guys really want to go to the god-forbidden region?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Can it be fake still?"


    Stonebrave even thought that Ye Yuan was boasting. He did not expect that it was actually true!


    "We''ll go together with you!" Shi Potian suddenly said.


    "This �� The god-forbidden region is very dangerous. Patriarch Shi, your clansmen are just these few already. No need to take the risk with me," Ye Yuan froze and said.


    But Shi Potian''s attitude was very firm and he said, "The stoneman clan''s mission is to guard the World Suppressing Stele. Since you''re the World Suppressing Stele''s master, we naturally have to follow you. Even if our bones are ground to powder, we''ll have no regrets too."


    Ye Yuan did not think that this Shi Potian''s attitude was actually so resolute. For a moment, he found it quite hard to choose.


    This trip, he himself actually did not have much assurance either. If he implicated the stoneman clan and resulted in their clan being exterminated, Ye Yuan would find it hard to set his mind at east.


    "How about this? You guys stay here temporarily. If I can come out of the god-forbidden region, I''ll bring you guys out. How''s that?" Ye Yuan thought about it and said.


    If he was able to break through to Deity Realm, everything would naturally be resolved with the greatest of ease.


    "Shi Potian''s strength is passable, perhaps I can lend Master a helping hand. Master, regardless of whether you agree or not, Shi Potian must follow you!"


    Ye Yuan was helpless. This Shi Potian''s strength was probably even above his. If he really wanted to follow him, he was really powerless to do anything.


    "Alright then, you guys don''t resist. In the future, you all will stay in my quasi-divine artifact. When I need you all, this young master will naturally call you guys out," Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said.


    Setting off from the stoneman clan''s territory was already not very far from the god-forbidden region.


    In a twinkle, half a month passed. Ye Yuan''s party finally stepped into the boundaries of the god-forbidden region.


    "Big Brother, this god-forbidden region is simply akin to a ghost city. It looks very bleak and desolate! I feel goosebumps breaking out all over my body." White Light involuntarily shuddered and said.


    In front of them was a stretch of desolation.


    Surveying all around, waves of terrifying auras came over.


    Not just White Light had this feeling, even Ye Yuan also had a feeling of almost suffocating.


    It was as if every blade of grass and tree here had an extraordinary taste.


    This place was seemingly a completely different world from the outside world!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s alarm bells went off!


    "Be careful!"


    Two streaks of terrifying blood light suddenly flashed past, sneak attacking them from behind.


    Ye Yuan''s perception was extremely sensitive, but he only captured it when it was just about to arrive as well.


    These two streaks of blood lights'' targets were precisely White Light and Li-er.


    The two streaks of blood lights arrived too quickly. Li-er and White Light had no time to react at all.


    The arrival''s strength was very powerful!


    Domain of Sword!


    Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!


    Ye Yuan blocked in front of White Light and Li-er with a lunge.


    Rumble! Rumble!


    The two streaks of blood line bombarded right onto Ye Yuan''s body without any deviation.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan directly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body flying out backwards.


    Even the three great fiendgods'' Starburst Grand Art did not breach Ye Yuan''s defense. These two unassuming streaks of blood light actually wounded Ye Yuan then moment they attacked!


    "Big Brother!"


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    When White Light and Li-er saw this scene, they cried out in shock at the same time.


    "Jeje, what a powerful defense! Looks like you learned that old tortoise''s Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art. But �� it''s far from perfect yet!"


    A strange laugh sounded out. Zhuge Qingxuan''s figure appeared in the three people''s line of sight.

 1255 Divine Dao Second-Stage!

    "Zhuge Qingxuan!"


    When the three people saw Zhuge Qingxuan, their expressions could not help changing.


    Ye Yuan thought that Zhuge Qingxuan was absolutely not Li Gui''s match. Did not expect that he actually escape from the Soul Refining Sect space.


    However �� it seemed like his entire temperament had a very huge transformation.


    "Heh, are you very surprised? Didn''t expect that I''d escape from that place, right?"


    "Jeje, boy, you''re very decent, to actually know how to murder someone with a borrowed knife! But this seat''s one million years of effort was reduced to naught in a day. This wrath, you''ll have to receive it!"


    From the same mouth, two completely different voices actually leaped out, making Ye Yuan trio all greatly astonished.


    But Ye Yuan understood very quickly as well. The Soul Refining Sect''s sect master, Li Gui, seemed to have possessed onto Zhuge Qingxuan''s body.


    Except, this was different from seizing possession. Zhuge Qingxuan still had his own consciousness.


    But the current Zhuge Qingxuan indeed gave him a very dangerous aura.


    After the shock, Ye Yuan calmed down very quickly and said with a big laugh, "Hahaha �� The exalted Heaven Stabilizing Divine King actually ended up in such a situation, being neither ghost nor human currently! If let the outside world know, it will probably become a story that will be passed on in the entire Divine Realm, right?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s face fell. Although he was being spiritually possessed by Li Gui right now, he still retained half of his former personality.


    He, this person, valued face the most. Being shot at by Ye Yuan, he was immediately about to flare up.


    "Hold your horses! If you don''t even have this bit of restraint, how can you accomplish important matters?" Li Gui urged.


    "You shut your mouth for this seat! Whatever nonsense, wait till this seat kills Ye Yuan before talking!" How could Zhuge Qingxuan still listen, cutting him off at once.


    "Jeje, without this deity, do you think that you can kill this boy?"


    "No need you to take action! Do you think that this seat''s Heaven Stabilizing Divine King name is called in vain?"


    "Alright then, alright! This deity won''t intervene! In a while, don''t come and beg for this deity!"


    Done talking, Li Gui no longer made a sound, seemingly ceding the body''s control rights.


    "Ye Yuan, this time, even if the Jade Emperor comes, he can''t save you either!" Zhuge Qingxuan said fiercely.


    But Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "The last time, I wonder who ran away like a dog!"


    "Humph! Last time, if not for you engaging in intrigues and schemes, how could this seat possibly lose to you?" Zhuge Qingxuan said disdainfully.


    "Only the weak will find excuses for their own failure," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Then, this seat will take a look today, just how strong you are!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan laughed coldly and suddenly unleashed a finger!


    Profound Qi Finger!


    One finger unleashing, the wind and clouds moved!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze revealed a look of disdain, and he said with a cold smile, "This move again? Can you come up with something new?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s Evil Extermination Sword waved. Fury Sword Fire Lotus came out with a whistle, welcoming Zhuge Qingxuan''s Profound Qi Finger.


    However, right at this moment, Ye Yuan just felt his chest suffocate, essence energy like it was blocked. This Fury Sword Fire Lotus move actually nearly did not release.


    Boom!


    How could the half-baked Fury Sword Fire Lotus be the Profound Qi Finger''s match?


    Ye Yuan''s chest seemed to have been struck by a tremendous force. Opening his mouth, he spewed out a large mouthful of blood, body flying out backward and smashed ruthlessly on the ground, fresh blood drenching his clothes.


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    "Big Brother!"


    Li-er and White Light turned pale with fright, not expecting that it would actually be such an outcome.


    Ye Yuan struggled to his feet; his internal organs already sustained massive trauma.


    Fortunately, he had the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art and was currently recovering his injuries frenziedly.


    "Jeje, the taste of this deity''s Ghostspirit Curse is still not bad, right?" Li Gui said with a strange laugh.


    Ye Yuan knew that the problem lay with those two streaks of blood light previously.


    He did not sense it before, but circulating essence energy right now, Ye Yuan felt that there were two strange forces plugging up his chest, making his essence energy sluggish.


    This kind of feeling was somewhat similar to the six great protectors'' God Corrupting Blood Beads back then. It was just that in terms of power, it was much stronger than that.


    This was like planting a curse on Ye Yuan''s body. Even if he utilized the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he was also unable to purge it.


    As expected, well-worth of being a former peak Heaven Glimpse powerhouse. His means were simply inconceivable.


    Except ��


    A hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, making Li Gui''s expression change.


    "Ghostspirit Curse, is it? It sounds like it seems to be very impressive. I wonder if �� Gui Li knows how to undo this Ghostspirit Curse or not?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    A blood-red figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan.


    Li Gui''s expression was incomparably ugly. Gnashing his teeth in hatred, he said, "I was wondering why the Myriad Soul Flag disappeared. Turns out that it actually landed in your hands!"


    Li Gui personally refined these evil ghosts. He naturally knew these evil ghosts'' prowess.


    Ordinary martial artists, even if their cultivation realm was extremely high, wanting to subdue these evil ghosts was also impossible.


    He was unable to imagine how Ye Yuan subdued these evil ghosts.


    At the thought of his many years of effort becoming a wedding gown for Ye Yuan, Li Gui felt like he was planted with the Ghostspirit Curse, incredibly stifled.


    Gui Li did not seem to have seen Li Gui. He called out the other eight evil ghosts and started casting a spell at Ye Yuan.


    Those evil ghosts were very clear about Li Gui''s moves. If Li Gui was at his prime, they naturally could not resolve this Ghostspirit Curse.


    But now, their strength was sufficient.


    "How can it be that easy to want to undo the curse? Heh, this seat will let you take a look at just what kind of strength the Divine Realm''s number one has!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression turned cold, and he pointed a finger out once more.


    "Profound Heaven �� Finger!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan cried out coldly. The power of this finger was truly unimaginable.


    Profound Calamity Finger, Profound Qi Finger, Profound Heaven Finger, these were clearly martial techniques passed down directly from the same lineage inside the Brahma Heart Sutra.


    To be able to comprehend to such a degree, the power was truly boundless.


    Furthermore, Zhuge Qingxuan even comprehended a Divine Dao domain. With the addition of the domain, his strength was even more terrifyingly powerful.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said, "No wonder you''re so arrogant. Turns out that you comprehended Divine Dao second-stage laws. It''s too bad �� did you think that only you comprehended it?"


    Golden light flickered on Ye Yuan''s body. A palm came out with an overwhelming momentum.


    Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    Ye Yuan''s dragon race martial techniques improved amazingly fast. When at the land of exile, under the ancestor''s guidance, he broke through to Divine Dao second-stage in one go!


    Deity Realm second-stage laws, what it corresponded to was the Deity Realm power of laws for middle-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm.


    Originally, Zhuge Qingxuan and the Spirit Bristle Divine King''s laws comprehensions were on the same level, mostly at the late-stage of Divine Dao first-stage.


    No idea what kind of pointers Zhuge Qingxuan received from Kanuo either, his strength actually improved greatly, and already broke through to Divine Dao second-stage.


    It was just a shame that Ye Yuan''s laws comprehension was much faster than Zhuge Qingxuan imagined.


    The Divine Dao second-stage''s Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm versus the Divine Dao second-stage''s Profound Heaven Finger!


    Originally, it should be an attack that was well-matched in strength. But Ye Yuan had the addition of the Nine Transformations Golden Body, sending Zhuge Qingxuan flying out with one palm.


    "Heh, Divine Realm''s number one, truly shameless enough!" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.

 1256 Monumental Sword!

    After a palm, the nine evil ghosts revolved around Ye Yuan and cast a spell. Very soon, it thoroughly dispelled his Ghostspirit Curse.


    "Impossible! You �� How can you possibly comprehend Divine Dao second-stage laws?"


    "Boy, you''ll pay the price for your actions!"


    Regardless of whether it was Zhuge Qingxuan or Li Gu, they were both hopping mad with rage at this time.


    One''s Divine Realm''s number that he took pride in was snatched, the other''s Myriad Soul Flag that he expended huge painstaking efforts was refined into a treasure by someone else.


    This kind of feeling simply made people go crazy.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "The two of you are being eccentric. Who should I answer?"


    "Hey, brat, you''re not his match! Let me!" Li Gui cried out weirdly.


    "No way! How can I, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, possibly not be his match?" Zhuge Qingxuan said, being unconvinced.


    He still remembered that outside the Holy City back then, it was so arbitrary for him to kill Ye Yuan.


    Just how long had passed?


    He was no longer his match to this extent?


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression flickered incessantly. Clearly, the two divine souls were currently locked in a fierce dispute for the sake of contending for the body''s control rights.


    "You fool! Do you think that your talent is number one under the heaven? Even your father, I, didn''t dare say that I was number one under the heaven back then too! With just the likes of you, this fellow?" Li Gui said.


    "Humph! That''s because this seat wasn''t born in the Divine Dao Era! Otherwise, this seat''s accomplishments might not be beneath Zuo Zong''s!" But Zhuge Qingxuan was brimming with confidence.


    Finally, Zhuge Qingxuan''s true self still occupied the body''s initiative. His expression turned cold, his gaze full of madness.


    All the essence energy in his body seethed. A terrifying aura emitted from his body.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, and he finally became serious.


    "Are you mad? Your laws comprehension isn''t sufficient to unleash this level of martial technique yet! Forcefully unleashing it, the power of laws will suck you dry!"


    Out of Zhuge Qingxuan''s mouth, Li Gui cried out strangely.


    Sure enough, Zhuge Qingxuan''s body shriveled up rapidly!


    But he still unleashed this move without turning back!


    His hatred toward Ye Yuan already reached the point of disregarding everything.


    This kind of hatred was even more from his jealousy!


    "Lunatic! You lunatic! If you let this seat take action, why would there be a need to perish together with him? You fool!"


    Li Gui gave a series of strange cries, but Zhuge Qingxuan completely ignored him.


    He wanted to perish together with Ye Yuan!


    "Profound �� Divinity �� Finger!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan, who already shriveled up to a mummified appearance, yelled this last martial technique out of his mouth.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help smiling coldly and said, "Heh, perishing together? You''re thinking too much! This kind of martial technique that''s forcefully utilized is also fit to perish together with me?"


    Whoosh ��


    Ye Yuan pulled out the Evil Extermination Sword. A terrifying sword intent billowed into the sky!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s aura was strong, but this sword intent of Ye Yuan''s was stronger than him, overshadowing him instantly!


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum, Li Gui cried out with surprise again, "Evil Extermination Sword! This is the Evil Extermination Sword Formula''s third level, Monumental Sword! You pig head! Even though the Evil Extermination Sword Formula has no grade, comprehending the Monumental Sword, you''re absolutely not a match!"


    Li Gui clearly understood the Evil Extermination Sword Formula very well. Ye Yuan had not made a move yet, and he already saw through the depths.


    The Evil Extermination Sword Formula was the general outline out of Vast Heaven Sword Art. It fundamentally did not have a grade, but in terms of power, this move Monumental Sword, was absolutely much stronger than Zhuge Qingxuan''s half-baked Profound Divinity Finger!


    The two were not on the same level at all!


    Li Gui knew that Zhuge Qingxuan was a genius that appeared once every 100 thousand years and originally pinned high hopes on him.


    But when he saw this sword of Ye Yuan''s, he knew that Zhuge Qingxuan and Ye Yuan were not on the same level at all!


    Ye Yuan was absolutely a genius that appeared once every million years!


    Even the Absolute Heaven back then also definitely did not have Ye Yuan''s talent!


    Even though the Evil Extermination Sword Formula was the Vast Heaven Sword Art''s elementary chapter, it was absolutely not that easy to comprehend Divine Dao laws.


    On the contrary, comprehending this sword art was very difficult.


    But, Ye Yuan actually already comprehended to the third level, Monumental Sword!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan was about to start officially cultivating the Vast Heaven Sword Art. That was the truly terrifying cultivation method!


    However, the Profound Divinity Finger was already Zhuge Qingxuan''s final trump card. He stubbornly used this move to have a decisive showdown with Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    Two mighty incomparably profound Divine Dao laws collided. A terrifying undulation spread out, directly leveling the originally desolate surroundings.


    This showdown was worthy of being called the Divine Realm''s apex confrontation!


    The number one divine king who had lasted for 2000 years officially withdrew from the stage of history today.


    Even if Zhuge Qingxuan obtained Kanuo''s guidance, his concepts a notch more skillful.


    Even if his essence energy realm was even higher than Ye Yuan''s.


    The result was still utter defeat!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s body was like a kite with a broken string, flying out backward powerlessly, smashing heavily onto the ground, and no longer made a sound.


    However, Ye Yuan''s situation was not considered good.


    The injuries previously were already not light. This time, forcefully deploying the Monumental Sword, it virtually drained all of his essence energy.


    Don''t look at how between Ye Yuan and Zhuge Qingxuan, there was just a difference of a tiny little minor realm.


    But this kind of expert showdown, if Ye Yuan did not use all of his power, he could not gain any advantage at all.


    For him to be able to defeat Zhuge Qingxuan, it was entirely because of Divine Dao laws crushing!


    Ye Yuan''s expression was white as paper, his entire body dead-exhausted.


    "Are you alright, Big Brother?"


    After confirming that Ye Yuan was just a little short on essence energy, White Light said with an excited look, "Haha, really awesome! Didn''t expect that Big Brother, your Evil Extermination Sword Formula actually already broke through to the third level! I think that your talent in Sword Dao isn''t the slightest bit inferior to the Atavism Dragon Soul! Big Brother, you finished off the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King. Now, you''re the true Divine Realm''s number one!"


    Ye Yuan swallowed an essence energy recovering medicinal pills and shook his head as he said with a smile, "Divine Realm''s number one? Huhu, that''s simply a joke! Senior Fang Tian coming up with this is in order to motivate the human race martial artists to strive forward. What isn''t counted inside are too many! It''s too bad that it didn''t achieve the expected results. Only Zhuge Qingxuan, this kind of people, would immerse in it and be unable to extricate themselves."


    The Divine Realm was too large. Even if Fang Tian could pry into heaven''s secrets, it was also impossible to take everybody into calculation.


    At least inside this Godsfall Mountain Range, there were quite a number of powerful existences whose strength was much stronger than the Ten Great Divine Kings.


    And inside this terrifying god-forbidden region, who knew how many powerful existences there were yet.


    The Divine Realm''s number one, even the Absolute Heaven back then did not dare to make such a grand boast either, right?


    Zhuge Qingxuan regarded himself highly and forcibly occupied the Ten Great Divine Kings'' first place year in year out, and really thought that he was invincible under the heavens.


    Little did he imagine that he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s expression changed.


    "Jeje �� Boy, I really have to thank you very much! That fool was beaten by you until he fell into slumber. This deity can finally control this body!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan who originally did not have much aura anymore suddenly surged with an imposing momentum!

 1258 Death Marsh

    In front of them was a marshland that stretched as far as the eye could see. The surroundings were deathly silent.


    It was truly a profound silence that prevailed over all. It was as if all sounds were swallowed up.


    This kind of serenity made people uneasy.


    Just now, White Light fled without choosing any path and did not see the road ahead clearly at all. Unknowingly, they already entered deep into this black marshland!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure emerged and swept a glance around the surrounding situation, his expression becoming very ugly.


    "Big Brother, this place isn''t right! How about we return the way we came?" White Light swallowed his saliva and said.


    White Light felt ill at ease. Even with his strength, he felt a sense of danger. This swamp was absolutely not ordinary.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Can''t go back anymore! Didn''t you realize that this marshland disrupted the space, and it''s already impossible to determine the north and south? Turning back, we''ll definitely won''t be walking the path that we came from!"


    White Light was alarmed and could not help perceiving it carefully and discovered that it was indeed just as Ye Yuan said, he already could not differentiate north, south, east, or west anymore.


    "Big Brother, this ��" White Light said rather panicky.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he let Shi Potian out.


    "Master!" Shi Potian said respectfully.


    "Do you know what place this is?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "If I didn''t guess wrongly, this place should be the Death Marsh of the legends!" Shi Potian said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he said in shock, "You''re saying that this place is the graveyard of deity realms known as the Death Marsh?"


    Shi Potian said in surprise, "Turns out that Master has also heard of the Death Marsh. That''s right, the Death Marsh is indeed known as the graveyard of deity realms. It has swallowed up god knows how many Deity Realm powerhouses'' life before!"


    White Light was horrified and said, "That dangerous? Then aren''t we dead for sure? Just what''s in here, for Deity Realm powerhouses to actually not be a match either?"


    Shi Potian said, "What''s inside the Death Marsh, nobody knows. Because those who have barged inside are all dead! But I heard that the Death Marsh''s ruler is the legendary Deathsoul Tree!"


    "Deathsoul Tree! There''s really such a thing in the world?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    White Light had a blank look as he said, "What are you all talking about? What on earth is a Deathsoul Tree?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression became very ugly, and he said grimly, "I''ve once seen before sporadic records in ancient classics, this Deathsoul Tree is the same as the Kunwu Divine Wood, both being legendary existences! Legends have it that in a distant era, an earth-shaking powerhouse died harboring resentment. When he died, the resentment surged to the sky, condensing and didn''t dissipate, finally turning into a Deathsoul Tree! After the Deathsoul Tree was born, it would always show up in various places of the Divine Realm bizarrely and randomly, devouring the life of powerhouses, becoming stronger and stronger, and killed all of its enemies! Legends say that regardless of how powerful the martial artist, as long as they enter inside the 100 thousand feet radius of the Deathsoul Tree, they would have their divine souls taken away, without the slightest margin to retaliate!"


    White Light said in shock, "This �� This is also too ridiculous, right? The divine soul of Deity Realm powerhouses, it takes away as it pleases?"


    But Shi Potian said, "What master said is right, the Deathsoul Tree is even more powerful than you imagine! It might have �� already surpassed Deity Realm!"


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to the pair, "You guys help to guard me. Wait for me to recover my strength, then we''ll move out! En? Be careful!"


    The consumption of using the Voice of the Dragon God was huge. He still wanted to recuperate for a while, but this Death Marsh did not seem to want to give him this chance.


    Gurgle ��


    Inside the marsh, air bubbles rose up in the black waters, breaking the tranquility of this Death Marsh.


    Ye Yuan stared at the marshland with an ugly expression, wondering what kind of thing would be inside.


    Swoosh!


    A gray-brown shadow rushed out of the marshland all at once, speeding toward Ye Yuan.


    This was an enormous crocodile!


    That crocodile opened his gaping maws and chomped down at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, the Domain of Sword and Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art were unleashed at the same time!


    Bang!


    With a loud bang, the crocodile seemed to have hit an iron plate and fell weakly into the swamp.


    Seeing this scene, White Light could not help laughing and said, "Hahaha, this dumbass, to actually dare bite Big Brother. Doesn''t it know that what Big Brother cultivates is related to tortoise shell?"


    However, White Light discovered that only he alone was laughing.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was incomparably solemn as he said, "This is a Blackwater Giant Crocodile! What powerful strength! The power of that attack earlier was likely not beneath the human race''s Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    White Light was somewhat uncertain what it meant and said, "Just an ordinary Ten Great Divine Kings, what doesn''t it count for to us?"


    "One naturally doesn''t mean anything. But if it was several thousands or tens of thousands?" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    As if affirming Ye Yuan''s words, this black water swamp started seething all at once.


    Gurgle ��


    Seeing this scene, White Light''s expression changed drastically.


    The scene in the next moment made the three people''s scalp tingle!


    Countless Blackwater Giant Crocodiles emerged from the marshland. As long as the eye could see, it was full of crocodiles!


    This number was probably no less than several tens of thousands!


    One already had the strength of the Ten Great Divine Kings. Several tens of thousands added together, even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, he was not a match either!


    "These guys are not easy to deal with! Go!" Ye Yuan said in a low voice.


    The three people did not hesitate in the slightest and instantly scampered off!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    How could the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles give them a chance? For a moment, countless figures scurried after.


    Ye Yuan flipped his hand, and a Fury Sword Fire Lotus instantly burst forth.


    Boom!


    A terrifying energy exploded, directly carving out a bloody path.


    However, what took the three people by surprise was that Ye Yuan''s Fury Sword Fire Lotus merely just shook away these Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.


    It actually did not kill them!


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, killing Ten Great Divine Kings-class powerhouses was not difficult.


    But this attack actually did not succeed!


    "These guys have such a powerful defensive capability! Head over there! The Blackwater Giant Crocodiles there are fewer!" Ye Yuan shouted.


    The Blackwater Giant Crocodiles launched attacks at the three people continuously. The three people did not dare to slight it either and unleashed all of their ability, driving away those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.


    "Monumental Sword!"


    Ye Yuan''s physical exertion was immense. Currently, he could only use essence energy martial techniques too.


    He did not dare to hold back in the slightest. The moment he made his move, it was the Monumental Sword.


    A terrifying sword intent wreaked havoc, finally splitting those thick-fleshed Blackwater Giant Crocodiles into pieces.


    They headed for this relatively lesser area right from the start. This sword finally slaughtered out a bloody path, breaking out of the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles'' encirclement.


    The three people''s figures swept past hastily, how could they dare to remain in the least bit?


    Ye Yuan''s physical strength had yet to recover. His essence energy consumption was also huge. He was completely unable to carry on fighting.


    No idea how long they were running away, finally, there were no more traces of Blackwater Giant Crocodiles behind them before the three people stopped.


    White Light''s expression was ashen pale as he said, "That Blackwater Giant Crocodile army can even destroy the Divine Realm if it''s brought outside! I really have no idea just what kind of place this Godsfall Mountain Range is, to actually be able to produce so many existences rivaling the Ten Great Divine Kings!"


    Before he could respond, Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed. A feeling of danger welled up in the heart once more!

 1259 Deathsoul Tree

    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    Several black streaks ambushed Ye Yuan trio at a strange angle.


    Shi Potian''s iron fist swung, the power of laws spreading out imposingly. He directly blasted those few black streaks to dust.


    But in the next instant, even more black streaks flew over.


    The three people focused their eyes and looked over. They could not help feeling their scalps tingle.


    What entered their eyes was all densely packed little black snakes!


    Although these little snakes'' strength could not compare to those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles, they were superior in numbers.


    "It''s Steel Wire Black Snakes! There are probably millions of them! This place isn''t suitable to stay for long, break out of the encirclement in that direction!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Steel Wire Black Snakes'' strength was slightly weaker, but that was just in comparison with Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.


    The difference in numbers was plenty to compensate for the deficiency in this bit of strength.


    In contrast, these few million Steel Wire Black Snakes were even more terrifying than those Blackwater Giant Crocodiles.


    How could Ye Yuan and the others still dare to remain? They desperately broke out of the encirclement in one direction.


    Fortunately, Shi Potian''s strength was powerful enough. Charging along the way, those Steel Wire Black Snakes were unable to approach at all.


    Only after expending a Herculean effort did the three people slaughter their way out of the heavy encirclement of the Steel Wire Black Snakes.


    Sprinting madly along the way, the three people were chased by the Steel Wire Black Snakes for goodness knows how long before they gradually retreated.


    "No wonder this place is known as the Death Marsh! How can there be so many horrifying things existing?" White Light said with a look of lingering fear.


    Shi Potian said, "Blackwater Giant Crocodiles and Steel Wire Black Snakes are probably the lowest rank existences in this Death Marsh."


    White Light could not help being greatly astonishment when he heard that and said, "No wonder this place is known as the god-forbidden region, it truly lives up to its reputation! Even such terrifying existences are only the lowest rank?"


    It was not up to White Light to not be surprised. If the Blackwater Giant Crocodiles and Steel Wire Black Snakes ran to the Divine Realm, they would absolutely be existences that could sweep away everything.


    It was also that the three people''s strengths were extremely formidable, even stronger than Deity Realm powerhouses whose realms were suppressed, that they could charge out of the encirclement.


    Otherwise, even if the Ten Great Divine Kings'' top five came in, it was also certain death.


    But this level of existence was actually merely just a low-level existence!


    The three people were currently bewildered and doubtful when alarm bells sounded again!


    White Light could not resist letting loose a torrent of abuse, "Are we done here or not?!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted even tighter. The one who took action along the way was mostly Shi Potian.


    He was making the best use of time to recover his strength!


    This time, what surrounded them was a bunch of black rates. The numbers were even more exceedingly terrifying.


    The three people expended a considerable effort, slaughtering out of the heavy encirclement once more.


    "Everybody, be careful! I feel like there seems to be someone controlling these desolate beasts. They �� seem to currently be driving us to a certain place." Ye Yuan suddenly said in a low voice.


    Starting from the second wave, Ye Yuan already had an uneasy feeling in his heart.


    Those desolate beasts seemed to be deliberately leaving a gap so that they could escape.


    Once, twice, the third time, each time it was like this. This made Ye Yuan''s suspicions even greater.


    Even though their strength was very formidable and slaughtering out of the heavy encirclement was a matter of course.


    But those desolate beasts did not really engage in a life-and-death struggle with them.


    Several times of encirclements all seemed to be guiding them towards a certain direction.


    White Light was alarmed when he heard and said, "No way, right? Who has this strength to be able to manipulate so many horrifying desolate beast hordes?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very much, but he did not answer.


    White Light suddenly thought of something and used a consulting gaze to look over toward Ye Yuan, saying in shock and confusion, "Could it be ��"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Apart from the Deathsoul tree, it seems like there are no other possibilities!"


    White Light''s expression became pale as a sheet. Even though he was very confident, facing this kind of existence that even Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to resist, his heart was racing too.


    Walking all this way, White Light already grew into a true powerhouse who could take charge at one of the fronts.


    But the Deathsoul Tree was different!


    Perhaps, it was an existence that surpassed the Deity Realm!


    Just how strong the Deathsoul Tree was, what kind of means it had, they were completely clueless.


    What they knew was that the Deathsoul Tree was not what they were capable of contending with.


    "This �� What to do here? We didn''t encounter the Kunwu Divine Wood but ran into a Deathsoul Tree. This �� This is also too unlucky, right?" White Light said with a bitter smile.


    "Heh, even if we ran into the Kunwu Divine Wood, it might not be much better than the current situation either," Ye Yuan said.


    "Then �� Then what should we do now?" White Light said.


    A glimmer of seriousness flashed across Ye Yuan''s eyes, and he said, "These dangers are originally things that were within expectations! Didn''t we mentally prepare ourselves for this trip? The god-forbidden region is a region that even Deity Realm powerhouses are unable to cross!"


    White Light''s entire body trembled, his emotion stabilized considerably by Ye Yuan''s one sentence. Gritting his teeth, he said, "What Big Brother says is right! Hehe, in this world, is there still a place that can stump the two of us brothers? Even if it''s a blade mountain and sea of fire, White Light will accompany Big Brother and make this trip! What do you say, Big Brother?"


    Ye Yuan also towered with heroism as he said, "Haha, my good brother! Now that it came to this, we might as well push the boat along the current! Doesn''t he want to meet us? Then let us go and take a look at �� just how strong this legendary Deathsoul Tree is!"


    "Hahaha, Big Brother, with you saying this, I became really interested!" White Light said with a hearty laugh.


    It was not that Ye Yuan did not wish to leave, but he knew that once they did not follow the established route, those desolate beasts would definitely launch attacks at the three of them like crazy!


    With these desolate beasts'' strength and numbers, no matter how strong the three of them were, they would be exhausted to death too.


    Even if they really killed all of these desolate beasts, whether or not they could escape was still another matter altogether.


    Since that was the case, they might as well preserve their strength and meet with the perpetrator.


    Shi Potian still had an indifferent appearance. But the slight undulations emitting off his body revealed a tiny hint of change in countenance.


    These brothers kept a straight face even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them. This bearing was indeed worthy of being the World Suppressing Stele''s successor!


    Since the goal was set, the three people fought all the way. Experiencing several twists and turns again, they came to a stretch of an open field.


    This wilderness was no longer a marshland but a stretch of black-color land.


    On this open field, not a blade of grass grew, looking just like a piece of scorched earth.


    Looking over, this wilderness no longer had anything on it. There was just a lone big tree.


    The large tree was pitch-black throughout and did not even have a blade of leaf on the branches, being stark-naked.


    On the treetop stood three black crows, currently crying out in lament, as if urging people.


    Crows were inauspicious things. Its appearance tended to accompany death!


    Seeing this large black tree, Ye Yuan''s face involuntarily fell.


    "Could this be the legendary Deathsoul Tree? It looks like �� there doesn''t seem to be anything special," White Light suddenly said.


    "The more unremarkable the place is, the more dangerous! See those three crows? If my conjectures are right, those three crows should be representing us! The Deathsoul Tree is telling us that today, the three of us will be losing our lives here!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.

 1260 The Eyes of the Black Crows!

    "Caw, caw, caw ��"


    As if answering Ye Yuan''s words, the crows on the treetop gave off extremely unpleasant cries.


    White Light could not help flying into a great rage the moment he heard. Raising his hand, a palm slapped over!


    Ye Yuan did not stop White Light, because he also wished to see just how terrifying this Deathsoul Tree was.


    However, the subsequent scene gave the three people a huge shock!


    The heaven and earth essence energy that White Light mustered only advanced a distance of 30 feet and immediately dissipated into nothing!


    It was as if a force that they were completely unable to understand existed in this space.


    "This ��"


    White Light could not help looking at Ye Yuan, a look of shock on his face.


    This Deathsoul Tree indeed lived up to its reputation!


    But at this time, they hoped for this Deathsoul Tree''s reputation to fall short of reality even more.


    Ye Yuan was likewise inexplicably shocked. White Light''s strength, he was all too clear.


    Perfect White Tiger Physique let White Light comprehend the White Tiger Darklight Divine Art to the Divine Dao realm long ago.


    The current White Light''s strength was even more than a magnitude greater compared to the Soul Martial Divine King, Zhong Zizhen.


    But the power of his one palm move actually could not even leave the 30 feet area in front of him!


    Ye Yuan had never encountered such a bizarre thing before!


    Just now, he clearly detected a tiny hint of undulation. That kind of undulation, with his current realm, it could not be understood at all.


    "Is this the Deathsoul Tree? As expected, ridiculously strong! No wonder even Deity Realm powerhouses are certain to die. Looks like this Deathsoul Tree isn''t what our cultivation realm can resist at all," Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said.


    Suddenly, an ancient and somber voice sounded out by Ye Yuan''s ear.


    That voice sounded incomparably somber, giving people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, just like �� the crows were talking.


    Looking closely, wasn''t it that crow in the middle that was talking?


    "There''s finally such fresh divine souls taking the initiative to deliver themselves to the door! Mmm �� your divine soul, it seems to be very tasty!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned sharp, his entire seemingly being stared at by the death god, feeling like his whole divine soul was about to leave his body!


    The crow was currently staring at Ye Yuan at this time, making Ye Yuan feel that his divine soul was about to collapse and disintegrate.


    Feeling extreme uneasiness was Ye Yuan''s genuine emotion at this time!


    In the depths of his sea of consciousness, the Soul Suppressing Pearl faintly emitted a trace of undulation. Soon enough, Ye Yuan''s divine soul calmed down.


    "Senior, the three of us had no intention of offending. We just mistakenly entered this place. Hope that Senior will let us go," Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed the oppressiveness in his heart and said with cupped fists.


    "En? You can actually withstand my divine soul pressure? Interesting, interesting!" The crow''s voice revealed a mild surprise.


    It was just that his voice made people''s hair stand on end.


    "Look into my eyes!" said the crow as it opened its mouth as if there was a magical power in its voice.


    Ye Yuan just felt his divine soul quiver, and that feeling of collapse welled up in his heart once more!


    Can''t look! Absolutely can''t look!


    Ye Yuan also did not know to what extent the Soul Suppressing Pearl could achieve. He was actually very uncertain in his heart too.


    After all, this Deathsoul Tree was an existence that surpassed the Deity Realm in the legends!


    In the present age where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, that kind of existence virtually as powerful as being able to coexist alongside Heavenly Dao. There was absolutely no way to imagine it.


    Therefore, he did not dare to look at the crow''s eyes.


    Except, his body did not seem to obey his command, his gaze involuntarily shifting towards that crow in the center.


    All the cold sweat in Ye Yuan''s body seemingly poured out like a fountain.


    In virtually an instant, his entire body was drenched in sweat.


    Past life and this life, even when facing Ji Canglan back then, he was also not so despaired and powerless before.


    This was a confrontation on a completely different level!


    Even if facing Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo, he at least had strength leftover to resist.


    At the very least, he could imagine what kind of existence Kanuo was.


    But now, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of margin to resist!


    Ye Yuan wanted to attack to resist, but his body seemed to have a paralyzing spell cast on it, unable to move even a finger at all!


    The only things that could move were his eyes!


    Ye Yuan was unable to understand why in the age where Divine Dao dwindled to zero, there would still be an existence like this.


    Could it be that surpassing Divine Dao, one would be able to not be constrained by Heavenly Dao anymore?


    It was just that, there was already no more time to let him ponder over now.


    Ye Yuan used every last ounce of his strength, wanting to shift his gaze towards White Light there. Suddenly, his mind shook heavily.


    He clearly saw White Light''s divine soul leave the body, flying straight for that crow on the left!


    As for Shi Potian, the stoneman clan was a very special existence. All of their everything existed inside the heart of stone. There was no divine soul at all.


    But Ye Yuan saw another scene that made him feel alarmed and rage.


    Lu-er''s divine soul actually flew out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, flying towards that crow on the right!


    Ye Yuan glared with his eyes wide, feeling like his entire person was about to explode!


    Powerless!


    Tremendous powerlessness!


    Only now did he know that it turned out this third crow was not prepared for Shi Potian but prepared for Lu-er!


    As for Li-er, because her physique was special, her spirit and flesh could not be separated long ago. The Deathsoul Tree actually did not prepare a crow for her.


    However, Shi Potian also did not move a muscle currently. Clearly, he was being restrained too.


    Shi Potian''s strength was even greater than Ye Yuan''s. He was once a genuine Deity Realm powerhouse!


    But he was still not the Deathsoul Tree''s match.


    "Heh heh �� Indeed, pretty decent divine souls. It will definitely be very delicious! Ever since that old fart died, this Immortal Grove Region has declined with each passing day. Now, to be able to eat such tasty divine souls isn''t easy anymore!" That crow used an extremely unpleasant voice and said.


    Ye Yuan was already bristling with anger at this time. How could he still listen to this crow''s muttering?


    All of his strength right now was used on resisting the crow.


    He wanted to save White Light and Lu-er!


    The two of their divine souls were currently slowly floating toward the crows. It was as if there were paralyzing spells cast too, totally powerless to resist.


    It was only to see those two crows open their mouths wide. White Light and Lu-er''s divine souls became smaller and smaller.


    Finally, the two crows swallowed the two of their divine souls in one mouthful.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned bloodshot from anger!


    He wanted to make himself move a bit, but he could not do it!


    He could not even muster a tiny hint of essence energy either!


    The only things that he could move were his eyes!


    The crow cried a burst of extremely unpleasant laughter and said to Ye Yuan, "Relax, you''ll be reunited with them right away! Don''t attempt to resist anything. What can a little fellow who can''t even break through to the Deity Realm do? Come, look into my eyes!"


    An intangible force instantly assaulted Ye Yuan''s divine soul!


    This time, Ye Yuan was unable to hold on anymore. A pair of eyes faced the crow''s pair of eyes!


    In the next instant, Ye Yuan felt as if his divine soul was frozen, involuntarily flying out of his body.


    "Haha, not bad! Really not bad! This divine soul �� seems to have the blood lineage of the dragon race. Furthermore �� it seems very similar to the dragon race''s progenitor! Could it be that legendary Atavism Dragon Soul? Hahaha, really picked up a treasure!" said the crow. The crow let out a burst of carefree but unpleasant to hear laughter.

 1261 Soul Tempest!

    "Damn it! Could it be that even the Soul Suppressing Pearl isn''t this Deathsoul Tree''s match either? Why doesn''t it have any reaction at all?!"


    Although Ye Yuan''s divine soul was frozen, he did not completely lose his ability to think.


    His only hope right now was the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    But the Soul Suppressing Pearl did not react at all. This made him incredibly anxious.


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul was pulled out of the body bit by bit. The crow''s eyes were like a bottomless abyss where Ye Yuan fell non-stop.


    All of a sudden, the Soul Suppressing Pearl had a trace of undulation once more!


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul that had just left the body halfway was pulled back once more!


    "En? What''s going on?" The crow said in surprise.


    This move of his had never failed before. Even Deity Realm powerhouses, as long as they stared at his eyes, they would also not be able to shake off the fate of having their souls absorbed.


    But today, he actually failed!


    The other party was still a mortal who was not even Deity Realm.


    "Legends have it that the Atavism Dragon Soul is the dragon race''s strongest divine soul. Ao Qin that old thing''s strength is unfathomable. Being able to resist the Netherworld Look isn''t impossible either. However �� unless it''s that old thing''s main body personally descending, otherwise, nobody can save his descendant!" muttered the crow to itself.


    Suddenly, that crow in the center opened up its wings, and actually flew onto Ye Yuan''s head!


    Ye Yuan''s divine soul that had just settled down was akin to being struck by lightning once more.


    The crow opened its sharp beak and reached towards the top of Ye Yuan''s head. A suction that shook the soul instantly enveloped Ye Yuan''s whole body.


    But in the next instant, the crow cried out in terror!


    "Soul Suppressing Pearl! Turns out it''s the Soul Suppressing Pearl! Damn it! Damn it! How can it be the Soul Suppressing Pearl? Argh!"


    The crow seemed to have suffered an immense scare, his cry filled with despair.


    He flapped his wings twice, wanting to leave Ye Yuan''s body.


    Except, it was already too late!


    A terrifying suction emitted from the top of Ye Yuan''s head, directly sucking the black crow in.


    The black crow did not absorb Ye Yuan''s divine soul but was devoured by Ye Yuan instead.


    Accurately speaking, it was not Ye Yuan, but the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    Ye Yuan could distinctly sense that the black crow was directly swallowed up by the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    "Huff, huff, huff ��"


    Ye Yuan gasped heavily for air, finally breaking free from that terrifying shackle.


    He wanted to go rescue White Light and Lu-er straight away!


    It was just that before Ye Yuan took action, Ye Yuan just felt his sea of consciousness buzz. A terrifying soul tempest swept out with him as the center.


    This soul tempest was too frightening. Ye Yuan could not withstand this kind of impact at all. His two eyes rolled back at once, fainting away.


    A black bead slowly flew out from inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, suspending in the air.


    For some time, a fierce gale sprang up.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl as the center, it formed a soul vortex.


    This vortex became larger and larger. The storm became increasingly stronger!


    "Ahh, ahh, ahh! After that old thing died, hasn''t the Soul Suppressing Pearl long gone missing? Why would it appear on this brat?"


    The Deathsoul Tree gave off a shrill miserable scream, seized with immense terror.


    Except, the soul tempest that the Soul Suppressing Pearl gave off became larger and larger. That horrifying suction, even the Deathsoul Tree was actually unable to withstand it too!


    This storm spread to the entire Death Marsh very quickly.


    The entire god-forbidden region''s unknown existences all detected this terrifying undulation.


    This undulation made their hearts palpitate vigorously!


    Those living in this god-forbidden region were all existences that the Divine Realm was unable to imagine.


    ...


    In a mountain range, two pairs of eyes were revealed in the darkness.


    In the eyes, it was full of fear.


    "What kind of aura is this, such powerful undulations! Looks like it''s coming from the Death Marsh that side?"


    "It''s the Soul Suppressing Pearl! One of Immortal Grove Empyrean''s personal three great magic treasures! It''s the Immortal Grove Region''s supreme soul artifact! Five million years ago, the Immortal Grove Empyrean perished. With his Dao vanishing, the Soul Suppressing Pearl went missing. I didn''t expect that five million years later, it finally came into being once more!"


    "Immortal Grove Empyrean? Who is that?"


    "That''s the sovereign of this Immortal Grove Region, an existence that the likes of us look up to!"


    "An existence that even you, Father, look up to? Just how strong is that?"


    "How strong? Huhu, strong beyond your imagination!"


    "Then the Deathsoul Tree?"


    "Huhu, that guy dared to provoke the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s new master! That''s courting death himself. Nobody can save him! Once the soul tempest kicks off, those guys will probably all have to restrain themselves a bit. Devouring the Deathsoul Tree, the Soul Suppressing Pearl probably should awaken thoroughly as well!"


    ...


    No idea how long had passed either. The storm finally settled down.


    Ye Yuan finally recovered a trace of consciousness and only felt that his head was splitting.


    Virtually right away, he thought of White Light and Lu-er, and suddenly recalled things.


    "White Light! Lu-er!" Ye Yuan cried out in shock.


    "Big Brother (Young Master), we''re here!"


    "Big Brother Yuan, you finally woke up!"


    Three familiar voices sounded out by his ear, making Ye Yuan feel like he was dreaming.


    He glanced at White Light and looked at Lu-er, and said in surprise and bewilderment, "You �� You guys are fine?"


    White Light said, "We don''t know what happened either. When we woke up, we were lying here just like you! Lu-er and I woke up around the same time. Only the time you were in a coma was a little longer."


    No matter what, seeing that the two people were safe and sound, a large rock in Ye Yuan''s heart finally landed.


    Recalling that scene of White Light and Lu-er being snatched of their souls, Ye Yuan really felt like a knife was being twisted in his heart at that time.


    Even now, he was shaking with lingering fear too.


    Ye Yuan suddenly looked towards Li-er and said, "Li-er, you didn''t have your soul snatch. Did you see anything inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda?"


    Li-er shook her head and said, "Although I didn''t have my soul seized, I was the same as you all, being restraint by that Deathsoul Tree. Later on, the soul tempest started, and I became unaware of everything."


    The four people exchanged changes. All had vacant looks, totally unaware of what happened in-between.


    There was still the Shi Potian by the side who likewise had a blank look.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he sunk his divine sense into the Soul Suppressing Pearl. He discovered that the Soul Suppressing Pearl was still suspended in his sea of consciousness, the same as before. It was as if nothing happened at all.


    "Just what the hell is this Soul Suppressing Pearl? The things that happened before are simply unimaginably mysterious!" Ye Yuan said absentmindedly.


    Watching White Light and Lu-er being devoured by the crow, Ye Yuan virtually already ascertained the two of their deaths.


    But did not expect that after the soul tempest, the two people appeared in front of him again perfectly well.


    Beyond the wild ecstasy, Ye Yuan was more surprised.


    This Soul Suppressing Pearl was seriously unfathomable, making him feel completely at a loss.


    That Deathsoul Tree was a legendary existence, an existence even more horrifying than Deity Realm powerhouses.


    But the Soul Suppressing Pearl actually utterly crushed it!


    "En?" Ye Yuan was suddenly startled and said, "We seem to have already exited the Death Marsh. What about that Deathsoul Tree?"


    The other four people had blank faces too. They also did not know what in the world happened.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and said, "Alright, don''t think anymore if we can''t figure it out. We''d best go find the Kunwu Divine Wood!"


    At this time, inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl, a phantom gradually condensed.


    His gaze seemed to pierce through space, landing on Ye Yuan, who was currently pressing on with his journey.


    "Huhu, five million years already, the Soul Suppressing Pearl finally has a successor!"

 1262 Breakthrough, Tier 9 Grand Completion!

    "Big Brother, it''s so strange! Isn''t it said that the god-forbidden region is the forbidden area of Deity Realm powerhouses? Why didn''t we encounter any more dangers after we came out of the Death Marsh?"


    From narrowly escaping death inside the Death Marsh, more than half a month''s time already passed.


    White Light discovered to his surprise that it was actually unusually peaceful along the way!


    That intense sense of danger when they originally stepped foot into the god-forbidden region actually vanished without a trace.


    This fierce contrast simply made the four people somewhat at a loss on what to do.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, entering the God-forbidden region this time, he also carried the resolve of not coming out alive.


    But now, it was too easy!


    The four of them almost became doing sightseeing along the way now.


    Was this god-forbidden region still the Divine Realm''s legendary deathtrap?


    "Most likely, the reason still lies with the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s abnormal activity at that time! Could it be that all of the living things in this god-forbidden region are all afraid of the Soul Suppressing Pearl? This isn''t too likely, right?" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    But White Light said with an excited look, "Big Brother, this Soul Suppressing Pearl was what I helped you find back then! Haha, didn''t expect that today, it actually had such a great effect, to be able to let us travel inside this god-forbidden region akin to walking on flat ground."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, your contributions are the greatest! But I keep feeling that it''s not that simple! I remember that the Deathsoul Tree mention before Immortal Grove Region on that day, while Kanuo had also once mentioned the Immortal Grove Region before! Can it be that our Divine Realm''s original name was called Immortal Grove Region? Also, Skydistant had also once said before that the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl were both foreign treasures. Even Senior Absolute Heaven doesn''t know their origins! Seems like �� apart from this Divine Realm, there''s really another space!"


    Li-er''s heart suddenly stirred and said to Ye Yuan, "Big Brother Yuan, do you think those Deity Realm powerhouses have gone to the other space?"


    Ye Yuan gave her a strange glance and said with a nod, "Hearing you say so, it''s really a possibility! Perhaps they detected in advance Heavenly Dao''s absence, and nobody was willing to remain in the Divine Realm, and all the Deity Realm powerhouses joined forces and opened up the entrance leading to the other world!"


    The more Ye Yuan said, the more likely it felt!


    This way, all of the things could be explained!


    Heavenly Dao being absent, even if they were Origin Deity Realm, they would also have to be suppressed back to Dao Profound Realm, which Deity Realm powerhouse was willing?


    Even if their laws comprehension was any greater, they were merely just a slightly stronger Half-Deity powerhouse.


    These people originally stood high above the masses. Making them mingle together with mortals again, it was completely impossible for them to be willing.


    Furthermore, the otherworldly place might be a higher-level space. They might have the chance to attain an even higher realm.


    Ye Yuan felt like he seemed to have touched upon the truth of the 100 thousand year mystery that was covered by dust!


    "Immortal Grove Region! Immortal Grove Region! Why is it called Immortal Grove Region? Also, why would Heavenly Dao be missing a part? Heh heh, those Deity Realm powerhouses all prided themselves on being exceptional but left behind such an awful mess. Truly a bunch of god-like existences!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were filled with ridicule, being very contemptuous towards those so-called Deity Realm powerhouses.


    He did not believe that those Deity Realm powerhouses did not know the peril of the fiend race!


    But those people left without turning back and did not even give a warning!


    Those so-called Deity Realm powerhouses, Ye Yuan held them in great contempt.


    "If it was really like this, they are simply a group of trash! What a waste of their phenomenal strength, becoming deserters and leaving behind the Divine Realm''s trillions of living things to suffer the fiend race''s abyss misery!" White Light also said indignantly.


    Li-er sighed and said, "In this world, how many powerhouses are there that take on responsibility like Senior Absolute Heaven, Senior Fang Tian, and Big Brother Yuan? Those Deity Realm powerhouses looked at other people leaving, how could they be willing to stay themselves, to be cannon fodders? Perhaps in their eyes, their lives are much more important than these trillions of life!"


    Listening finish, Ye Yuan trio deeply felt that way too.


    Probably in those Deity Realm powerhouses'' eyes, they indeed thought that way.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s face fell. A powerful divine sense locked onto him brazenly.


    "Jeje, I didn''t expect to actually run into you guys here! Truly enemies meet on a narrow path!"


    A figure blocked the few people at the front. It was none other than precisely Zhuge Qingxuan!


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "You''re really a ghost that lingers on persistently!"


    "Brat, you ruined my million years of painstaking effort, could it be that you think this deity will let you go?" Li Gui said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression darkened, and he said, "Where''s Zhuge Qingxuan? Dead?"


    "Humph! Not watching you die with my own eyes, how can this seat die?" This time, it switched to Zhuge Qingxuan''s voice.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him nonchalantly and said with disdain, "Looks like you''re not planning on making a move yourself anymore. Huhu, looks like your confidence is worn away by this young master. The Divine Realm''s number one is merely like so!"


    Ye Yuan had long figured out Zhuge Qingxuan''s temper. Even if the other party knew that this was a goading technique, he would fall for it too.


    But this time, Ye Yuan miscalculated!


    It was only to hear Zhuge Qingxuan give a cold snort and said, "Humph! You want to goad me into fighting with me, I''m afraid that I''ll have to disappoint you! Because as long as I can watch you die, this seat is willing to be mocked by you!"


    "Jeje, boy, I have to admit that you''re very impressive! Someone as prideful as Zhuge Qingxuan actually forcefully had his pride effaced by you! Your talent is even greater than Absolute Heaven! It''s too bad that �� you were born in the wrong time!" Li Gui had an appearance of taking delight in others'' misfortune.


    Clearly, these two people had long reached some kind of tacit understanding already.


    With regard to dealing with Ye Yuan, their objective was to kill Ye Yuan.


    For this, Zhuge Qingxuan even gave up on personally taking action!


    Because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not kill Ye Yuan too!


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Like that, I I got it! Looks like today, we can''t end things without a bloody battle!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan put the others away inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    When Li Gui saw this scene, he said with a faint smile, "Bloody battle? Boy, you''re thinking too much! With this deity''s strength, you can only contend with me by using the Voice of the Dragon God. It''s a shame that displaying the Voice of the Dragon God with Tier 9 strength, you can at most only last three breaths of time, right? As long as this deity tides over these three breaths, you''re dead!"


    Ye Yuan used two breaths of time the last time, and Li Gui calculated his limits.


    Although the Voice of the Dragon God was strong, his Divine Dao laws were too powerful!


    The Voice of the Dragon God that had always prevailed could not achieve a certain-kill effect with him.


    Since it could not achieve a certain-kill effect, using this move was equivalent to seeking death.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, but did not take it seriously at all and said indifferently, "Is that so? If my conjectures are right, your current strength is also less than 10%! Since I can''t deal with you in my current state, then I''ll �� break through then!"


    Done talking, all the essence energy in Ye Yuan''s surged!


    A surge of terrifying essence energy undulation roused the entire god-forbidden region until a storm raged and clouds gathered!


    Li Gui''s expression changed, and he said in terror, "This �� Tier 9 grand completion, Half-Deity Realm!"

 1263 Half-Deity Realm

    To other people, Tier 9 grand completion and Half-Deity Realm still had an immense gap.


    Because even if one''s Essence, Energy, and Spirit, all reached grand completion, it was also not Half-Deity Realm.


    Heart realm grand completion, this hurdle, stumped countless heroes.


    But what Ye Yuan was lacking was merely just on aspect of essence energy realm.


    Of course, essence energy realm reaching peak Divine King also could not be accomplished with one stroke.


    But Ye Yuan could.


    Exchanging blows the last time, Ye Yuan had merely just stepped into becoming a first-rate divine king.


    They had just separated not long ago, and Ye Yuan actually directly broke through already.


    This was the part that Li Gui was really shocked at.


    Even when placed in their era, he had never seen before such rapid breakthrough as well.


    "What are you still waiting for? Take the opportunity when he''s breaking through and directly take his life!"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s tone was somber but revealed some anxiousness.


    "What the hell do you know? He has already triggered Half-Deity Realm and merged the Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths, achieving Half-Deity Realm! Going forward to kill him at this time is opposing the Heavenly Dao. You''ll be annihilated straight away! If you want to die, go forward. At most, this deity will find another physical body!" Li Gui scolded angrily.


    "Humph! Didn''t you claim to be a peak Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse? To actually not even dare face the breakthrough of Half-Deity Realm!" Zhuge Qingxuan said with a cold smile.


    "It''s useless even if you goad me! If it were a million years ago, this deity really wouldn''t take this level of Heavenly Dao seriously. But now �� heh heh."


    The meaning of his words was naturally that he did not dare to make a move against Ye Yuan anymore.


    Although Zhuge Qingxuan was anxious, he also knew that Li Gui''s hatred toward Ye Yuan was even stronger than his. If the tribulation was able to kill him, Li Gui absolutely would not make a move.


    "Then Could it be that we''re going to watch him break through just like this?" Zhuge Qingxuan said solemnly.


    "Even if he breaks through to the Half-Deity Realm, it''s also merely the strength of Divine Dao second-stage. Although your physical body is a little shabby, this deity still has some confidence in dealing with him!" Li Gui said.


    Zhuge Qingxuan unexpectedly did not refute Li Gui''s words. Ye Yuan breaking through to Half-Deity Realm, he could already completely crush him in terms of realm.


    Actually, Zhuge Qingxuan had long cultivated Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths, to grand completion already. Except, that final heart realm boundary kept failing to break through to the realm of Heaven Man Unity."


    This disparity with Ye Yuan was not a tiny bit.


    Li Gui was not shitting on him, but merely stating a face.


    ...


    At this moment, Ye Yuan finally experienced what was called Heaven Man Unity!


    That moment when his essence energy reached grand completion, Ye Yuan produced a kind of wondrous resonance with the Heavenly Dao.


    His Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths, reached unprecedented harmony at this moment.


    "Mortals come from the Earth, the Earth is born from Heaven, Heaven originates from Dao, Dao is the source! This is the Half-Deity Realm!"


    Ye Yuan felt that he was unprecedentedly powerful.


    Previous life, Ye Yuan had similarly reached peak Divine King. But this feeling now was completely different from that time.


    Essence energy, fleshy body, divine soul, under the mediation of Heaven Man Unity, became an entity formed by nature.


    No matter which path one chooses, the other two paths would provide a massive compounding power.


    Just this step and Ye Yuan felt a world of difference from his strength before!


    No wonder Fang Tian was able to have an earth-shaking great battle with Kanuo. Such strength had virtually reached the limits under Deity Realm already.


    But Ye Yuan sensed that he was currently in a kind of critical state.


    That fleeting and ephemeral Deity Realm seemed to be within arm''s length!


    In the Divine Dao Era, there was originally no so-called Half-Deity Realm.


    Being able to cultivate the heart realm to the Heaven Man Unity grand completion, breaking through to the Deity Realm was virtually something that happened without extra effort.


    Because this step was the critical step to break through to the Deity Realm!


    With the heart realm as the mediator, perfectly reconciling Essence, Energy, and Spirit, touching that fleeting and ephemeral Heavenly Dao. This was the crucial step to become a deity.


    But when Ye Yuan attempted to touch that Heavenly Dao, he discovered that he could not touch it at all.


    Not too high to reach, just unable to touch!


    That sort of feeling was just like someone who used strength to grab something. As a result, the person grabbed too hard and missed, extremely dispirited.


    That Heavenly Dao was absent!


    It did not exist!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan finally understood Fang Tian''s feelings.


    This feeling of being within arm''s length, but also out of reach, simply made people go crazy.


    "Jeje, this feeling of wanting to breakthrough, but being unable to break through, is unpleasant, right?" Li Gui said sarcastically.


    Ye Yuan shot him an indifferent glance and said, "Aren''t you even more pitiful than I am? Clearly have peak Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm''s divine soul, but you''re being suppressed at Half-Deity Realm. It''s very unpleasant, right?"


    Li Gui''s expression turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "What a razor-tongued brat! You ruined my million years of bitter effort, today, I''ll make your blood-debt in blood!"


    Sure enough, even though Ye Yuan had touched upon Heavenly Dao, he had not experienced it personally before.


    But Li Gui clearly had that strength but was forcefully suppressed at Half-Deity Realm. This made people even more depressed.


    That sort of feeling was like he wanted to emerge out of the surface of the water but forcefully had his head pressed down by someone.


    And yet, he could not lift his head.


    "Bring it on. I want to experience a bit just what kind of strength peak Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm is like," Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    Li Gui''s fury was finally incited by Ye Yuan.


    It was only to see his face turned cold. The surrounding space immediately wailed with ghostly shrieks and howls.


    Countless savage ghostly figures blotted out the skies and covered the earth and chomped down towards Ye Yuan.


    "Hundred Ghosts Devouring the Soul!"


    This move was the cumulation of essence energy and Ghost Dao. Not only did it harm the person''s body, it similarly had tremendous damage on the divine soul.


    With Li Gui''s laws boundary, this move naturally could not be underestimated.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest change in countenance on his face. The Evil Extermination Sword suddenly attacked. An incomparably pure sword energy flew everywhere, charging over towards those fierce ghosts.


    "Monumental Sword!"


    With righteous air in one''s chest, heroism was unbeatable!


    The moment this move was unleashed, it possessed the might of heaven and earth, and at the same time, it was the jinx of those ferocious ghosts!


    Ye Yuan displaying this move with Half-Deity Realm, the power naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath. It was no idea how many times stronger than before!


    In less than ten breaths, those ferocious ghosts were slaughtered clean.


    Seeing this scene, Li Gui''s expression could not help changing.


    He naturally knew about Ye Yuan''s Monumental Sword. He did not hope for this move to be able to cause any damage to Ye Yuan''s main body.


    His true target was Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    But �� Ye Yuan seemed to be completely fine. He was utterly immune to this divine soul attack!


    "What moves do you still have, feel free to use them!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that this move of Li Gui''s contained an exceedingly powerful divine soul attack. But regarding divine soul attacks, he did not need to defend at all.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl around, any divine soul attacks were existences like paper tigers.


    "Humph! Damn Absolute Heaven, truly lingering on persistently! Since that''s the case, I want to take a look at whether or not your successor can withstand my Undying Ghost Slaughter move!"


    Li Gui smiled coldly. A terrifying divine soul power spread out. Heaven and earth changed colors because of it!I have no idea what this means, doesn''t seem to be an idiom either. It''s just some pun that I don''t understand.

 1264 Getting Completely out of Hand!

    This human race martial artists'' pinnacle great battle aroused the attention of quite a number of powerhouses in the god-forbidden region.


    Of course, this level of fight was not considered some unparalleled great battle to them.


    When that pair of father and son saw Li Gui''s terrifying undulations, they said indifferently, "The laws are not bad. It''s just too bad that what he cultivates is Ghost Dao. Using the Ghost Dao in front of the Soul Suppressing Pearl, isn''t this simply like an elderly person eating arsenic, seeking death?"


    "The Soul Suppressing Pearl is really too scary! These few years, the Deathsoul Tree has cornered the Kunwu Divine Wood badly. I didn''t expect that it was directly annihilated," the son said.


    "Devouring the Deathsoul Tree, the Soul Suppressing Pearl has probably already awakened. It''s just that that boy hasn''t detected it yet. Nothing nice to see anymore, the guy that cultivates Ghost Dao is dead for sure," the father said.


    ...


    Inside another deep and quiet valley, powerful undulations faintly leaked out.


    Suddenly, a disdainful voice came out from inside the valley.


    "Clowns jumping around! Showing off in the presence of an expert!"


    ...


    On the mountaintop, a luxuriantly green large tree overshadowed and obscured the sun.


    Different from the Deathsoul Tree''s lifeless atmosphere, this large tree was overflowing with life force.


    A young man sat on the treetop, looking into the distance. That gaze seemed to pieced through the void, seeing very far away places.


    "Heh, interesting. Using the Ghost Dao in front of the Soul Suppressing Pearl, it''s truly the ignorant is fearless! However �� the Soul Suppressing Pearl has just regained consciousness, it probably really needs this kind of nourishment!" the youngster said.


    "That human seems to be here to find us," the large tree suddenly emitted a voice.


    "How do you know? Possessing the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, I wonder if this boy can save this Immortal Grove Region that is on the brink of collapse or not!" the young man said.


    "Probably can''t! The Realm Locking Gate isn''t that easy to pass through," the big tree said.


    "You''re so sure? I''m very optimistic about this boy though!" the young man said with a smile.


    ...


    Li Gui''s martial technique was cast halfway when he detected something amiss.


    Undying Ghost Slaughter was the strongest soul technique that he could cast. If at his prime back then, even same-level powerhouses did not dare to clash head-on either.


    Those capable of suppressing him was also just Absolute Heaven, that level of existence.


    If he could refine himself into an undying evil ghost and use this move again, he definitely dared to contend with Absolute Heaven.


    It was just that, man proposes, God disposes. A million years later, Heavenly Dao dwindled to zero. He was already unable to return to Deity Realm anymore.


    What was even more damnable was that this boy in front of him ruined his million years of painstaking effort, making him fail on the cusp of success.


    Even so, the Undying Ghost Slaughter, this move, was also an unbelievably terrifying existence.


    But Li Gui discovered to his dismay that this move of his seemed to have set off some remarkable things. No matter how he outputted soul force, he was unable to completely execute this attack.


    It was as if this move became a bottomless pit.


    His soul force flowed into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness unceasingly.


    Ye Yuan clearly also detected the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s changes. The him who was originally akin to facing a great enemy simply just abandoned all actions at this time, allowing the Soul Suppressing Pearl to conduct itself freely.


    The situation got completely out of hand.


    The look of horror on Li Gui''s face became increasingly thicker. He wanted to withdraw his soul force, but he discovered to his dismay that he already could not do it.


    Right now, his soul force seemed like floodwaters that broke the dam, flowing over toward Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness non-stop.


    "Ye Yuan, you �� What the hell did you do? This �� What''s going on here?" Li Gui''s face was full of alarm and panic. His voice was even almost in tears.


    Li Gui examined himself and felt that he was already an expert on the divine soul path. There was absolutely nothing that he did not understand.


    But he discovered to his dismay that he completely could not understand the current situation.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know it, I didn''t do anything."


    He really did not do anything, but would Li Gui believe?


    It was because Ye Yuan did nothing at all that Li Gui felt even more fishy.


    He knelt on the ground with a thud and prostrated to Ye Yuan and said, "Young Master Ye! Sir Ye! Master Ye! I �� I was wrong! I beg you to let me off! I �� I won''t ever find trouble with you again! You �� You didn''t lose anything at all, but I already have nothing at all anymore! I beg you to give me a chance to turn over a new leaf and let me off!"


    This terrifying devouring power, he was completely powerless to resist.


    No matter how he urged his Divine Dao laws, he was also unable to break free of Ye Yuan''s devouring power.


    Li Gui even had the heart to die. Just what kind of an existence did he provoke?!


    Ye Yuan said with a helpless look, "Not that I''m not letting you off, but I really didn''t do anything at all!"


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was not what he could control at all. From the start till now, all of the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s actions were done on its own.


    This time was no exception as well.


    Huff huff ��


    The devouring power became stronger and stronger. Li Gui''s devoured was actually pulled right out of Zhuge Qingxuan''s body in the end, converging into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness in the end.


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s entire body trembled, looking at this scene in shock.


    Without Li Gui, he also lost his final reliance.


    The current him facing Ye Yuan, he did not have any strength to retaliate at all.


    "Y-Ye Yuan, I �� I ��"


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s expression was deathly pale. He completely did not expect that such a drama-like scene would actually occur.


    In his view, no matter how miserable, this was also a great battle evenly-match on both sides.


    Who knew that in a blink of an eye, Li Gui was devoured until not even dregs remained.


    He retook his body''s control rights anew now. But, he had never lost all hope like this before, resulting in him not even knowing how to word it.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "You want me to let you go, right?"


    Zhuge Qingxuan was stunned and nodded his head desperately.


    But Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "Our enmity is also not irresolvable. But too bad, you sought refuge with the fiend race. This is something that this young master cannot tolerate. Therefore, sorry! Your life, I must take it!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan sentence him to death, Zhuge Qingxuan''s face turned ghastly pale.


    Suddenly, he lifted his head to the sky and gave a long howl and said, "What a joke! Ye Yuan, you don''t really think that you''re the savior, right? Do you know how strong Kanuo is? He''s a former Origin Deity Realm powerhouse! Do you think that you can be his match?"


    Ye Yuan said very indifferently, "Otherwise, why do you think this young master would come to the Godsfall Mountain Range?"


    "You want to become a deity? Hahaha �� this is even more unrealistic than suppressing Kanuo!" Zhuge Qingxuan said with a crazed laugh.


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips and said scornfully, "That''s not something you have to be worried about anymore. Either way, you can''t see it anymore."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan directly used the Monumental Sword!


    The Half-Deity Realm Ye Yuan displaying this move again, the power already could not be mentioned in the same breath!


    Zhuge Qingxuan''s gaze revealed a savage look, and he said ferociously, "Your father, I, will fight it out with you! Profound Divinity Finger!"


    Before Ye Yuan had broken through to Half-Deity Realm, Zhuge Qingxuan was already not his match.


    How could this half-baked move currently be Ye Yuan''s match?


    A sword unleashing, swept away all obstacles in the way.


    Zhuge Qingxuan did not even let out a scream and was directly annihilated by this sword.


    The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, who had commanded the Divine Realm for over two thousand years, perished here!The master is how a servant addresses the master of a household, not slave and master.

 1265 World Tree

    "Ye Qing, can you feel the aura of the Kunwu Divine Wood?"


    "Mmm, there''s a very strong wood-spirit energy ahead. I feel like �� that being seems to be guiding us forward."


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that: "Guiding us forward?"


    Ye Qing nodded his head: "To be able to release such terrifying wood-spirit energy, that being is too strong. It''s completely not what we''re capable of surmising. I think he should have discovered us long ago, and even �� already knew our objective of this trip. Because apart from the Kunwu Divine Wood in this place, I can''t sense the auras of any other existences."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not reveal a surprised expression.


    The existences in this God-forbidden region were all what they were unable to imagine.


    Just talking about that Deathsoul Tree, Ye Yuan could not even move a finger in front of him.


    Ye Qing was the most sensitive towards wood-spirit energy. Hence, that was why he had Ye Qing lead the way.


    Sure enough, before long, Ye Qing detected a powerful wood-spirit energy.


    "Big Brother, I wonder whether the Kunwu Divine Wood taking the initiative to expose itself is a fiend or foe!" White Light said.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Whether friend or foe, we have to make this trip."


    ...


    Under Ye Qing''s lead, the party arrived under a mountain peak very soon.


    Above the mountaintop, an enormous tree towered above the clouds.


    That tree trunk was seemingly a heaven-supporting pillar. Even a thousand people might not be able to wrap around it either.


    The thick life force made Ye Yuan and the others who were far away at the foot of the mountain feel completely relaxed and refreshed in spirit.


    "Is this the Kunwu Divine Wood? What a terrifying existence!" White Light exclaimed with a sigh.


    "Rumor has it that the Kunwu Divine Wood is the source of the Divine Realm''s wood-spirit energy. It can be called the World Tree and is a part of Heavenly Dao laws. This Dao Defying Pill''s pill formula that I created was originally just a fleeting and ephemeral hint of enlightenment. But now, I''m already certain that I''m adding the finishing touch to Heavenly Dao, remaking Divine Dao within my body!" Ye Yuan''s gaze radiated rays of brilliant light as he said brimming with confidence.


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone endlessly shock, especially Shi Potian. Shi Potian had experienced the Divine Dao Era before and understood Heavenly Dao''s intangibleness more than Dao Profound Realm martial artists.


    But Ye Yuan actually wanted to attempt to reforge Heavenly Dao within his body!


    This kind of thinking was too conceited! Too arrogant! Too insane! Too unthinkable!


    But thinking carefully, they all could not help praising the brilliant idea of Ye Yuan!


    Cultivating by following the routine, no one could break this Heavenly Dao''s rules at all.


    This point was already proven for over 100 thousand years.


    Someone as powerful as Fang Tian was also unable to break this shackle.


    But, if one simulated Heavenly Dao using Alchemy Dao, remaking a Divine Dao law within the martial artist''s body, this was indeed a fantastic idea.


    "Haha, a fine reforging of Divine Dao! Well-deserving of being Immortal Grove Empyrean''s successor! This kind of inconceivable thinking simply takes people''s breath away in wonder!"


    A voice suddenly sounded out, giving everyone a fright.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s and the rest only felt a blur before their eyes. Their figures already involuntarily disappeared from where they stood.


    When they appeared again, they were already on top of the mountain peak, at the foot of the large tree.


    A young man was currently looking at them with a wide grin. That gaze was rather ruminating.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he asked probingly, "Could your esteemed self be �� the Kunwu Divine Wood?"


    The young man sized Ye Yuan up, seemingly very interested in him.


    Hearing Ye Yuan asked this, the young man said with a smile, "You''re pretty good! Worthy of being Old Fart Immortal Grove''s successor! This idea of yours sounds crazy, but in fact, it''s the method that''s most likely to break Heavenly Dao shackles!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "Senior also feels that this method can work?"


    "Of course! Heavenly Dao collapsed, Divine Dao dwindled to zero. No matter what method is used, it also can''t resist the decline of Heavenly Dao. But the spirit medicines that have experienced the Divine Dao Era before contains a part of Heavenly Dao. They are unable to independently resist the decline of Heavenly Dao. But if consolidating them together, there''s a possibility of constructing an independent Heavenly Dao within the martial artist''s body, breaking this shackle from there! One has to admit that this idea is very genius!" the young man said with an emotional sigh.


    Hearing the other party''s words, Ye Yuan felt extremely excited.


    Following his understanding of the Divine Realm becoming increasingly deeper, Ye Yuan also had more confidence in the feasibility of the Dao Defying Pill.


    Since Heavenly Dao was already gone, then he would just remake Heavenly Dao!


    A Heavenly Dao that belonged to him, one that only existed in his body!


    This train of thought was increasingly clear.


    This idea seemed to be very insane, but to Ye Yuan, it was not impossible to actualize it!


    The Heavenly Dao that Ye Yuan needed to construct was not a complete Heavenly Dao.


    He was just going to construct an initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm''s Heavenly Dao, letting him be able to break through to Deity Realm successfully!


    Previous life, this idea was still very vague. But by relying on his exceedingly high comprehensions in Alchemy Dao, he faintly sensed this existence.


    One million years old spirit medicines did not just have these nine types. But these nine kinds of spirit medicines that Ye Yuan selected secretly contained Heavenly Dao.


    This was the nine kinds of spirit medicines that Ye Yuan selected only after going through repeated research.


    Talking about it was kind of vague and insubstantial, but by relying on his comprehension toward Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan felt that these spirit medicines combining together would be able to achieve an unexpected effect.


    In this life, Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Heavenly Dao became increasingly profound. Coupled with his understanding of the Medicine God''s Soul Canon getting increasingly deeper, Ye Yuan''s train of thoughts also became clearer and clearer.


    As for how to refine, he was even more certain in his heart as well.


    Therefore, that was why he wanted to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range and search for this last spirit medicine: the Kunwu Flower.


    "Then Senior''s meaning is �� the Dao Defying Pill can really help this Ye break through to the Deity Realm?" Ye Yuan could not refrain from asking.


    The young man smiled and said, "Huhu, I didn''t say that! Whether or not you can break through, it will depend on your good fortune. This kind of thing, even if Old Fart Immortal Grove personally comes around, he also would not dare to say that it can 100% succeed. I can only say that there''s a possibility!"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. The young man''s words undoubtedly boosted him much confidence.


    This one before his eyes was an existence that rode above Deity Realm.


    For him to say that it was possible was already extremely hard to come by.


    In these 100 thousand years, no idea how many people had once attempted to break through to Deity Realm before. But they all failed without exception.


    "Since that''s the case, pardon this junior for being impetuous, but I wonder if Senior can gift a Kunwu Flower." Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    The young man froze and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Interesting! Really interesting! Brat, your guts �� are really not small!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not that Junior is gutsy, but that Junior is already driven to the wall! The Kunwu Flower might be very important to Senior. But to Junior, to the Divine Realm, it''s even more important! I think that since Senior is willing to show yourself and meet up, you don''t wish for the Divine Realm to fall utterly into enemy hands, right?"


    From the Kunwu Divine Wood''s attitude, Ye Yuan concluded that the other part at least did not much hostility towards him.


    Otherwise, he would not talk so much rubbish.


    "Heh, you, brat, are really quite interesting. No wonder Old Fart Immortal Grove picked you!"


    As the young man said, he held a palm up. A pink flower appeared in his hand.

 1266 Empyrean Spirit Treasure!

    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, looking at the young man in amazement.


    He really did not expect that he actually obtained the Kunwu Flower so effortlessly.


    Before this, Ye Yuan thought of countless possibilities and was even prepared to fight to the bitter end.


    The only thing that he did not think of was that the other party actually gave it to him so magnanimously.


    Receiving the Kunwu Flower, Ye Yuan even had a feeling like he was dreaming.


    "Senior, this �� Why?" Ye Yuan said in wonder.


    The young man smiled and said, "I''ve long already found that Deathsoul Tree to be an eyesore, and you did it beautifully! In addition, I have to give face to Old Fart Immortal Grove''s successor. As for whether or not it can succeed, that will depend on you."


    Ye Yuan was stunned. He already heard ''Immortal Grove'' this name more than once, but he did not know why this Divine Realm would be called Immortal Grove Region.


    Looking at it now, this ''Immortal Grove'' seemed to be a person''s name!


    "May I ask Senior, just what is this ''Immortal Grove''? Why do a lot of people call the Divine Realm as Immortal Grove Region?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Divine Realm is just what you yourselves call it. The path of Martial Dao, the so-called Deity Realm, is merely just the starting point. The reason why the Divine Realm is called Immortal Grove Region is naturally that its sovereign is Old Fart Immortal Grove!"


    "Old Fart Immortal Grove?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Kunwu nodded and said, "Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove is this Immortal Grove Region''s founder, and also sovereign. Cultivation reaching a certain realm, one can hew open a world. This Immortal Grove Region is the world that Old Fart Immortal Grove opened up."


    Not just Ye Yuan, everyone trembled all over when they heard these words.


    Establishing a world, this was simply inconceivable means!


    This Divine Realm that they lived in was actually established by a Martial Dao powerhouse!


    Could a person really accomplish to this extent?


    "E-Establishing a world! Senior, you aren''t joking around, right?"


    Even if Ye Yuan was experienced and knowledgeable, his expression currently also became incomparably fascinating.


    The impact of Kunwu''s words on him was too great.


    "Heh, I''m not so free to crack jokes with you! Establishing a world isn''t considered some noteworthy thing. But establishing a world like the Immortal Grove Region, that''s not what an ordinary person can accomplish. Telling you now, you can''t understand either. If there comes a day where you can leave this Immortal Grove Region, you''ll naturally understand," Kunwu said.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath. This Kunwu''s words simply subverted the understanding of Martial Dao.


    He had never thought that this Divine Realm was actually established through artificial means!


    And also never thought that the human''s Martial Dao could attain such a terrifying realm.


    This kind of thing, if not for Kunwu personally saying it, no one could imagine it.


    ''Empyrean'' this term, Ye Yuan remembered it firmly in his heart.


    In an instant, he was filled with a yearning for this realm!


    A realm when achieved, one could establish a world. Just with his current strength, there was completely no way of imagining it.


    Only after a long time did Ye Yuan come back to his senses from the shock and said to Kunwu, "Senior, Heavenly Dao is missing. So why �� do the existences inside this god-forbidden region seem to be unaffected?"


    Ye Yuan was very curious. Regardless of whether the Deathsoul Tree or this Kunwu Divine Wood in front of him, Ye Yuan could not fathom at all.


    This indicated that their boundary was what he was incapable of imagining.


    Unlike the old ancestor as well as Shi Potian, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that their realms were being suppressed.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Because we all don''t belong to the Immortal Grove Region and didn''t attain Dao by practicing the laws here. So we won''t be suppressed by Heavenly Dao."


    Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked. Turned out that all of them came from another world?


    But very soon, Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and was just about to speak, but was beaten to it by Kunwu.


    "Don''t think anymore! This god-forbidden region''s existences, all can''t leave this region! Moreover, the Immortal Grove Region is already an arrow at the end of its flight and can''t endure us taking action at all. The moment we act, this Immortal Grove Region will probably not be far from utterly collapsing," Kunwu said.


    Ye Yuan had a look of disappointment on his face. He was just thinking that the Kunwu Divine Wood was not restrained by thatHeavenly Dao, so maybe he could make a move to deal with Kanuo. Ye Yuan did not expect that it was actually this situation.


    He could not help saying gloomily, "Senior, what in the world happened to the Divine Realm? Why would Heavenly Dao be missing?"


    Kunwu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Because Old Fart Immortal Grove died!"


    This one sentence made Ye Yuan inwardly alarmed.


    A powerhouse that could establish a world would actually die too?


    Then what kind of existence would the powerhouse who killed him be like?


    Kunwu continued, "However �� the Immortal Grove Region''s decline originally shouldn''t be so quick either. Five million years ago, Old Fart Immortal Grove severed his connection with the Immortal Grove Region. Ten to one, the odds are he''s dead. This Immortal Grove Region naturally declined with each passing day. But 100 thousand years ago, his lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure should have been refined by others, that''s why it would make the Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao become defective. Mystic Qi was drained empty, that''s why you all are unable to achieve Deity Realm."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, and he muttered, "Lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure?"


    Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Don''t you have it too? Furthermore �� it''s even more than one!"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, and he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Senior is talking about �� the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl?"


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Otherwise? Apart from the Soul Suppressing Pearl, what else can finish off Deathsoul Tree that guy?"


    These words, they actually carried thick grievances.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he knew that the Kunwu Divine Wood seemed to be on rather bad terms with the Deathsoul Tree.


    However, Kunwu''s words still stirred up monstrous waves in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    He could not figure out all along, just what origins the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl had.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that they were actually the empyrean spirit treasures of the Immortal Grove Region''s sovereign, Immortal Grove Empyrean!


    This level of supreme existence was not what the average person could conjecture at all.


    No wonder even Absolute Heaven that kind of peerless powerhouses could not figure out the Vast Heaven Stele''s depths.


    "Old Fart Immortal Grove had three empyrean spirit treasures. One is the World Suppressing Stele, one is the Soul Suppressing Pearl, and one is the Universe Sword. These three empyrean spirit treasures are closely related to the Immortal Grove Region. Old Fart Immortal Grove used them to nurture these three empyrean spirit treasures. So the moment the Universe Sword was lost, this Immortal Grove Region suffered a heavy blow. From then on, there was no longer Divine Dao," Kunwu spoke with confidence and composure.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, but the astoundment in his heart kept failing to calm down.


    The impact that Kunwu''s words brought to him was too great.


    Every sentence that Kunwu uttered was this Immortal Grove Region''s extremely great heaven''s secret.


    The people of the Divine Realm lived here one lifetime after another, but they never knew that this was merely just a space that someone else established.


    In the end, they were merely frogs at the bottom of a well!


    Outside had even broader space!


    This 100 thousand years mystery was finally uncovered today. How could Ye Yuan not be shocked?


    And what Kunwu disclosed was far more than this 100 thousand years mystery.


    Ye Yuan never dreamed that the two inconceivable treasures which he obtained by chance were actually empyrean spirit treasures!

 1267 Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art!

    "Senior, this junior still has a query."


    "Speak."


    "Breaking through Deity Realm requires mystic qi flooding the body. I wonder if there''s still any mystic qi in the Divine Realm?"


    Mystic qi flooding the body was also the most crucial link to breaking through to Deity Realm.


    This was not just the step that Fang Tian they all were most worried about, it was actually the step that Ye Yuan was most worried about as well.


    Even if his Dao Defying Pill was really able to succeed, without mystic qi, he was likewise unable to break through to the Deity Realm.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Mystic qi? Huhu, don''t you have it on you?"


    "I have it on me?" Ye Yuan had a blank look.


    "Heh, heaven and earth essence energy is merely the low-level form of mystic qi. Not reaching the Deity Realm, this Immortal Grove Region''s martial artists are totally unable to withstand mystic qi flooding the body. One empyrean spirit treasure is sufficient to support the Immortal Grove Region''s martial artists to break through to Deity Realm. These few years, the empyrean spirit treasure that sustained the Divine Realm''s mystic qi was precisely the Universe Sword! Now that the Universe Sword was refined by someone, mystic qi is naturally siphoned empty too. But inside the other two empyrean spirit treasures, there''s naturally mystic qi too," Kunwu said.


    Ye Yuan said in amazement, "You''re saying that inside the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl both have mystic qi? But, how should I guide them out?"


    "No need to guide them out! If you can remake Heavenly Dao within your body, mystic qi will naturally come out. If you fail, it naturally won''t come out either," Kunwu said.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that inside the Vast Heaven Stele actually hid mystic qi!


    Five million years ago, Fang Tian had once attempted to break through to the Deity Realm before but did not arouse mystic qi.


    If Fang Tian was able to find the method to add the finishing touch to Heavenly Dao, perhaps he would break through to the Deity Realm first.


    Of course, whether or not he could draw out mystic qi, even Kunwu was also uncertain.


    Maybe Ye Yuan was the same as Fang Tian, the final outcome being failure.


    "Many thanks for senior resolving my doubts! Ye Yuan is forever indebted!" Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    ...


    After a bout of preparations, Ye Yuan planned on refining the pill on the spot!


    Kunwu did want to interrupt Ye Yuan. He just quietly watched by the side.


    On a table, over a hundred kinds of spirit medicines were arranged very densely.


    These hundred over types of spirit medicines were not anyhow picked.


    In order to select these hundred over kinds of spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had done God knows how many deductions and experiments before.


    By relying on his tiny hint of response towards Heavenly Dao, it was sifted out.


    In this life, when he was idle, he did countless deductions and verifications again. He did many modifications before finally deciding on this never-existed-before pill formula.


    "Big Brother, don''t know why, I �� I''m so nervous!" White Light said with an anxious look.


    Ye Yuan scolded with a laugh, "You rascal, it''s just refining a medicinal pill. Is there a need?"


    "That might be the case, but this medicinal pill of yours concerns the Divine Realm''s life-and-death. Can I not be nervous? If it fails, there won''t be a chance to do a second try!"


    "Heh, when have your big brother failed before on refining pills?" Ye Yuan looked at White Light and said with overflowing confidence.


    White Light thought about it and said, "That''s true! Big Brother''s alchemy skills have long attained the acme of perfection already. However, can the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art refine this Dao Defying Pill?"


    Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art was already the strongest alchemy technique under Deity Realm.


    But for this alchemy technique to refine this never before seen medicinal pill, White Light was not confident either.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not using the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art this time!"


    White Light was stunned and said, "Not using the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If talking about refining methods, barely anyone is more familiar with it than me. Even if it''s the Nine Stars Imperial Heaven Art, it''s also impossible to refine the Dao Defying Pill. Since I created this medicinal pill, I naturally have to create an even more impressive alchemy technique!"


    "Even more impressive alchemy technique? Big Brother �� you concealed your skills so deeply!" White Light drew a cold breath.


    No one understood Ye Yuan better than him. He had never seen before Ye Yuan used any alchemy skill that was even more powerful.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This alchemy skill was created in my previous life. After perfecting in this life, it should be sufficient to take on great responsibilities."


    "Big Brother, what is this alchemy skill called?"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp, and he said, "Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art!"


    This was an experience that was hard to come by. Naturally, the situation could not be without Ren Dong, Xiao Ruyan, as well as grand-pupil Gu Yue. They were all called out by Ye Yuan to watch and learn.


    Putting aside Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan, Gu Yue''s strength these past few years also advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Of course, he learned from the fundamental level; hence he was much slower than Ren Dong and Xiao Ruyan.


    But his strength was indisputable.


    "The pill refinement this time is where the quintessence of everything that Master learned in his lifetime lies. You all watch carefully. How much you can comprehend will depend on your individual fortunes," Ye Yuan said to the three people.


    The three people all nodded their heads solemnly, all being incredibly excited.


    They already knew that what Ye Yuan was going to refine this time could be said to be the number one pill in 100 thousand years!


    As for the Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art, it was also their first time hearing. But they did not doubt in the slightest that this was an alchemy skill that reached the acme of perfection!


    Taking care of everything, Ye Yuan started refining the pill.


    Ye Yuan dripped a drop of blood essence into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron. The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s dragon pressure immediately billowed into the sky!


    With Ye Yuan''s current peak sacred rank dragon blood, he could already deploy the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s power to the greatest.


    The current Dragon Sovereign Cauldron was already a half-divine artifact rivaling the Vast Heaven Pagoda.


    But the refinement this time was greatly different from everyone''s impression in the past.


    In the past, the feeling that Ye Yuan''s pill refinement gave them was exhilarating!


    Not just exhilarating, but breathtaking.


    But this time, just extracting and purifying the medicinal embryo, Ye Yuan spent a full three day''s time!


    Spirit medicines being many was one aspect. But Ye Yuan''s method of purification was vastly different from before.


    The medicinal embryos that Ye Yuan refined, in the end, was not one, but nine!


    Each main ingredient, he would refine a medicinal embryo on its own.


    Seeing this scene, Xiao Ruyan and the rest were all extremely amazed.


    "What''s grand-master doing here? Could it be that he''s going to refine nine medicinal pills?" Gu Yue said in wonder.


    Xiao Ruyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think that the Dao Defying Pill is nine medicinal pills?"


    Ren Dong said, "Refining these nine medicinal embryos doesn''t have any difficulty to Master. But refining these nine medicinal embryos into one medicinal pill is as hard as ascending to the heavens!"


    Xiao Ruyan nodded and said, "Refining the Dao Defying Pill is not mixing these spirit medicines together, but combining into a complete Heavenly Dao! In the process of refinement, not only does one have to focus on the medicinal pill''s refinement, they even have to rely on their comprehension toward Alchemy Dao and fused these medicinal embryos together organically. One can say that refining this Dao Defying Pill is a tiny little world!"


    Refining the medicinal embryos, Ye Yuan finally started refining.


    But the moment he made his move, Xiao Ruyan and the others were all shocked!


    "This �� Isn''t this the refining method of the Greater Phaseless Art? A �� A Tier 1 alchemy skill to refine the Dao Defying Pill?" Gu Yue said in shock.


    Xiao Ruyan was likewise incomparably shocked and exclaimed, "You guys, look! It became the Lesser Phaseless Art! No, wait, this is another skill! This �� What in the world is going on here?"


    Kunwu originally watched Ye Yuan refine and purify the medicinal embryos calmly. But the moment he took action, his gaze revealed glimmers of brilliant light!

 1268 Great Dao Resonance!

    Among the people present, no one understood what Dao was better than Kunwu.


    Ye Yuan''s refining method looked simple to the extreme, but every movement contained the lingering charm of Dao.


    His disciples exclaimed with admiration because they could not understand Ye Yuan''s Dao.


    The two party''s realms were too far apart.


    Kunwu clearly did not know alchemy. But from the disciples'' marveling exclamations, he could guess that what Ye Yuan used were all the most basic alchemy techniques.


    But what Ye Yuan used was not the most basic alchemy skills.


    Seemingly contradictory, this was actually the sublimation of returning to one''s original simplicity.


    This was the Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art!


    "Huhu, somewhat interesting! This boy might really succeed!" Kunwu said with a laugh.


    Xiao Ruyan looked towards Kunwu in surprise, plucked up her courage, and asked, "Senior, did you perceive something? I see that what Master used are all Tier 1 alchemy techniques. We all know them! Can this kind of technique refine the Dao Defying Pill?"


    With her asking, everyone perked their ears up, wanting to hear Kunwu''s evaluation.


    Especially White Light, he still heard that Ye Yuan created some Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art previously. In the end, what he used was all some of the simplest refining techniques.


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking around. But he really could not tell what difference Ye Yuan''s techniques had from Tier 1 alchemy techniques.


    "Tier 1 alchemy techniques? Haha, nay, nay! Your master has already reached the boundary of seeing the mountain as a mountain still, and seeing the water as water still! Your disparity with him is too far away, so you can''t understand," Kunwu said with a loud laugh.


    Xiao Ruyan''s eyes lit up, and she made a detailed inquiry, "Senior, please resolve my confusion!"


    Kunwu gave her a glance and said with a smile, "One will never achieve their goals without doing things a step at a time. Not accumulating small streams, there''s no way to become a river or sea. Where Dao lies isn''t fleeting and ephemeral but inside every little bit. I don''t know alchemy, but myriad Great Daos all lead to the same destination. Tier 1 alchemy skills are the simplest, but also where the roots of alchemy techniques lie. When you guys cultivate to an extremely high realm, then turn back to look at it, maybe there will be a different feeling. Of course, with your current realms, it''s still far away!"


    When everyone heard that, they were all dumbstruck!


    Only then did they know what kind of profound realm Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao already reached.


    This kind of realm completely had no way of using words to describe.


    Xiao Ruyan trio exchanged glances, all smiling bitterly in the end.


    Ye Yuan letting them out was naturally in order to let them sense the true Alchemy Dao a little.


    Unfortunately, no matter how they looked, Ye Yuan was also refining a Tier 1 medicinal pill.


    The three of them had all been drilled by Ye Yuan before and were all too familiar with Tier 1 alchemy techniques.


    All of them, any one of the techniques could easily achieve entering the Legendary Realm.


    But now, only when they watched Ye Yuan refine pills did they know that their road was still long!


    Time went by day after day. In a blink of an eye, it was 10 days.


    In these 10 days, there was nothing exciting.


    Ye Yuan was constantly using the simplest alchemy techniques to refine the pill, unhurried and unremarkable.


    But the expressions on the faces of Xiao Ruyan they all gradually became solemn.


    Ye Yuan was refining nine medicinal embryos at the same time. But with 10 days, they gradually gained some level of attainment.


    At this time, they finally somewhat understood Kunwu''s words.


    Ordinary Tier 1 alchemy skills were absolutely unable to refine these nine medicinal embryos at the same time.


    Nine medicinal embryos, inside them contained over a hundred types of spirit medicines. The difficulty of control was absolutely the entire Divine Realm''s peak.


    But in 10 days, Ye Yuan did not make a hint of mistake!


    This was simply something that one did not dare imagine.


    Hence, the only possibility was that Ye Yuan''s alchemy techniques, they really could not understand.


    Too profound!


    Suddenly, everyone''s faces changed. Clouds gathered in the sky. Rays of sunglow fluctuated as if something major was going to happen.


    Kunwu took a look at the sky and said laughed as he said with narrowed eyes, "Heh heh, aroused the resonance of Great Dao! This boy is truly remarkable! Old Fart Immortal Grove might have a qualified successor!"


    ...


    Rumble ��


    Above the skies of the entire Divine Realm, multi-colored sunglow rippled, shining upon the land until it became a gorgeous color.


    Above the ninth heaven, thunder clapped and clouds rolled, heading over to the south!


    At the dragon clan in the Demon Region, Fang Tian raised his head and looked at the sky, rays of brilliant light glimmering in his gaze.


    "What happened? Who can actually cause such a heaven and earth phenomenon!" Fang Tian said in shock.


    "Senior, looking at this commotion, it seems to be heading south. It''s precisely the direction of the Godsfall Mountain Range. Could �� Ye Yuan have broken through to Deity Realm?" By the side, Teng Yun''s eyes lit up and said in surprise.


    Fang Tian darted him a glance and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "You''re thinking too much! Forget about breaking through to the Grotto Profound Deity Realm, even if breaking through to the Origin Deity Realm, it''s also impossible for the entire Divine Realm to have such a heaven and earth phenomenon appear! Such celestial phenomena, there''s probably only those existences in the god-forbidden region that can trigger it. I''m afraid that ��"


    Teng Yun''s hopes that had just ignited was extinguished by Fang Tian.


    Indeed, this kind of heaven and earth phenomenon already lasted a full three day''s time. Moreover, the scope spread to the entire Divine Realm.


    Even if Ye Yuan broke through to Deity Realm, it was also impossible to cause such a terrifying heaven and earth phenomenon.


    This kind of heaven and earth phenomenon, there were no records of it in the Divine Realm''s history at all.


    Even if those Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, it was also not possible to make the entire Divine Realm so turbulent.


    Suddenly, Fang Tian shut his eyes. When Teng Yun saw the situation, he exclaimed, "Senior, you mustn''t!"


    His voice has yet to fade, and then only to see Fang Tian spewed out a mouthful of blood with a puff.


    All of a sudden, Fang Tian seemed to have aged considerably!


    Fang Tian looked up at the sky and murmured, "Heaven Dao can''t be pried into! I hope that Ye Yuan can return safely!"


    ...


    At the same time, Kanuo slowly opened his eyes, his expression becoming very ugly!


    "This is Great Dao resonance! That brat wouldn''t really have succeeded, right?"


    "Heh, scared? You, this old fellow, are also nothing more than this!" Yue Ji suddenly appeared and said with a cold smile.


    "Humph! Right now, it''s him and me competing on time! When this deity has swept across the Divine Realm, even if he attains Dao and becomes a deity, so what? Dispatch the orders, three days later, launch a general offensive against the Demon Region! We have to exterminate the demon race at all costs! This deity doesn''t believe that Fang Tian can still stop it this time!" Kanuo said disdainfully.


    Yue Ji''s eyes lit up, and she said, "You already recovered your strength?"


    "Otherwise, what do you think? Relax, everything is under this deity''s control! Even if that brat really becomes a deity and returns, he can''t escape the palm of my hand either, hahaha ��" Talking to the back, Kanuo let out a wild laugh.


    Yue Ji''s gaze flickered but did not know where Kanuo''s confidence lay.


    ...


    In the Godsfall Mountain Range, rays of sunglow descended from the sky, converging into the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron.


    Xiao Ruyan and the rest who were by the side were long dumbfounded from watching already.


    They had never seen before that refining medicinal pills could trigger such a heaven and earth phenomenon.


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron started trembling violently!


    This scene made everyone''s faces change!


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud bang, and that Dragon Sovereign Cauldron actually directly exploded.


    A terrifying energy swept out.

 1269 Great Dao Pill Refinement!

    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    "Big Brother!"


    "Master!"


    ...


    Several shouts sounded at the same time, the voices full of panic and fear.


    The half-divine artifact, Dragon Sovereign Cauldron, actually could not withstand the pressure of Heavenly Dao, and broke down at once!


    The Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s fragments scattered everywhere. A tremendous impact force flew towards everyone.


    Kunwun just casually waved a hand and completely wiped out those fragments.


    But this was not the most important thing!


    The most important thing was that the medicinal cauldron exploded, what should Ye Yuan do about the medicinal pill?


    When they focused their eyes and looked over, they could not help being pleasantly surprised!


    In front of Ye Yuan, a Tai Chi diagram formed.


    In the center of the Tai Chi diagram, nine medicinal embryos were still being smelted by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame!


    That Tai Chi diagram was incomparably profound. Ye Yuan took his time to perform the alchemy skills and was not the least bit moved by the Dragon Sovereign Cauldron''s collapse.


    The current Ye Yuan already entered an extremely profound state.


    Ye Yuan was clearly refining pills there, but Xiao Ruyan they all had an unreal feeling.


    It was as if there was no Ye Yuan there.


    What was there was just the vague and insubstantial Heavenly Dao.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have incarnated to become Heavenly Dao!


    This kind of wondrous spectacle was simply inconceivable.


    "Great Dao pill refinement! This is the legendary Great Dao pill refinement! Hahaha �� I didn''t expect that this kind of marvelous spectacle actually appeared in an empyrean world! Old Fart Immortal Grove, oh Old Fart Immortal Grove, I really didn''t expect that your empyrean world that''s about to collapse actually produced such a figure! I look forward very much to whether or not he can give off a brilliant light over there!" Kunwu suddenly laughed loudly and said.


    Xiao Ruyan they all were drawn over by Kunwu''s laughter. Clearly, they were also very curious about Ye Yuan''s current state.


    "Senior, what''s this Great Dao pill refinement �� that you speak of?" Xiao Ruyan asked.


    At this time, Kunwu''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan already became different.


    Before this, he was using a talking-down attitude to view Ye Yuan.


    There was even a tiny hint of pity.


    The Kunwu Divine Wood had lived for god knows how many years. One could even say that he was an existence that watched the Immortal Grove Region''s rise and decline.


    Toward this empyrean world''s humans, they were lowly existences to him.


    This sort of condescension was born in the bones. He could not change it!


    But at this moment, Kunwu unknowingly got rid off that unconscious superiority feeling.


    When he saw this scene happen, he finally looked squarely at Ye Yuan, this lowly person of an empyrean world.


    "Saw that Tai Chi diagram?" Kunwu said.


    Xiao Ruyan froze and said, "Saw it. Isn''t that condensed and formed by Master with the power of array formations?"


    Kunwu laughed in spite of himself and said, "Array formation? Hahaha �� That isn''t array formation! That''s this Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao, materialized Heavenly Dao, remaining Heavenly Dao!"


    "H-Heavenly Dao! Senior, you aren''t joking, right?" Xiao Ruyan''s mouth opened into a circle and was incredibly shocked.


    Not just her, everyone had disbelieving looks. They all thought that Kunwu was joking.


    What was Heavenly Dao?


    That was a fleeting and ephemeral existence!


    An completely intangible existence!


    Martial artists could go and comprehend Heavenly Dao, but how could one possibly use Heavenly Dao to refine pills.


    This �� This was too ludicrous!


    It was something that was completely impossible to happen.


    But Kunwu said with a disdainful smile, "Heavenly Dao isn''t as mysterious as you all imagine. The Heavenly Dao that you all cultivate is merely the Dao of someone else! This place is Old Fart Immortal Grove''s empyrean world. So the Heavenly Dao that you guys cultivate is all just his Dao. Therefore, as long as you all are still inside this Immortal Grove Region, it''s forever impossible for you all to surpass him. In fact, you guys can''t even touch the heels of his feet. If you guys can cultivate to one-ten thousandth of his, that''s already an invincible existence."


    Everyone exchanged glances, wanting to refute, but was also unable to refute.


    Kunwu''s words were naturally strategically situated in an advantageous position.


    The things that he knew were what they were unable to imagine.


    Furthermore, according to the situation that they knew, what Kunwu said was totally right!


    Looking at everyone''s astonished faces, Kunwu continued to speak with fervor and assurance, "However, that''s impossible! The realm of Empyrean is what you all are completely unable to imagine. At Old Fart Immortal Grove''s prime, it was also when the Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao was at its most powerful and flourishing! That Heavenly Dao, even I have to give way to avoid conflict too! But unfortunately now �� huhu, a hairless phoenix is inferior to a chicken!"


    "This �� Senior, you haven''t said what is Great Dao pill refining?"


    Kunwu disparaging the Divine Realm''s Heavenly Dao like this, Xiao Ruyan naturally felt a little upset in her heart.


    It was just that she also knew what Kunwu said was the truth.


    If not because of this, how could Deity Realm dwindle to zero?


    Kunwu glanced at her and said with a smile, "The little lass isn''t willing to submit still! But, my, Old Kun''s, mood today is pretty good, I won''t fuss over it with you. Saying that the Heavenly Dao is not good, actually doesn''t have the intention of belittling it, but it''s saying that that master of yours is very strong! Great Dao pill refinement is refining medicinal pills with Great Dao as the furnace!" That master of yours triggered Great Dao resonance; this in itself is already something very seldom-seen. But I didn''t expect that he could actually even harness Heavenly Dao, refining the pill with Great Dao! Truly inconceivable!"


    When the few people heard Kunwu''s words, all of them were shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Using Heavenly Dao to refine pills, this kind of thing, just thinking about it made one''s back run cold.


    If not for Kunwu''s guidance, they would not dare to imagine at all that the Tai Chi diagram was actually the incarnation of Heavenly Dao!


    Spreading this sort of thing, other people would definitely think that they were lunatics!


    Kunwu said slowly, "For this boy to be able to harness Heavenly Dao, it shows that he has already obtained the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao''s recognition. This is naturally not unrelated to the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl. But to be able to accomplish this step, it isn''t merely related to those two items. Starting from today, he is different from you all already. He shall lord over all of you, becoming this Immortal Grove Region''s true god!"


    The more they heard, the more shocked they became!


    They were naturally very happy in their hearts to hear Kunwu''s words. But there was even more incredulity!


    Kunwu''s every word struck viciously onto their hearts, making them feeling breathless.


    The few people''s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan again all became different.


    Especially, Li-er, who was his lover!


    Her lover was actually going to tower above all life now!


    The feelings at this time were very complicated.


    Kunwu continued with his words hell-bent on shocking people to death and said, "Heh, triggering Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, and obtaining Immortal Grove''s recognition from there! This boy truly amazes people! From now on, he can be said to have truly inherited Immortal Grove''s mantle! When his strength reaches a certain realm, he will be able to become this Immortal Grove Region''s new master! Even though this is just a dilapidated world."


    But regarding all this, Ye Yuan himself seemed to be oblivious to it.


    He was already immersed in his own Dao. Refining the Dao Defying Pill was no longer a mission to him; it was to savor the feeling of sensing the Heavenly Dao.


    This kind of feeling made his entire person feel like he was walking on clouds.

 1270 Dao Defying Formed, Divine Realm in Danger!

    In order to take revenge in this life, that was the reason why Ye Yuan stepped onto the martial path.


    Even though his Martial Dao talent was exceedingly high, in his bones, he was still that alchemist who pursued the limits of Alchemy Dao unrelentingly.


    Before reincarnating, Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Alchemy Dao already reached a profound level.


    Otherwise, he also could not create the Dao Defying Pill, such a fantastical medicinal pill.


    But in the previous life, his divine soul realm was lacking and kept feeling that there was a layer of windowpane paper not poked through.


    In this life, not only did he obtain the Medicine God''s Soul Canon, he even obtained several Divine Dao cultivation methods and martial techniques, and his comprehension towards Heavenly Dao was even deeper.


    In addition, he acquired the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl in this life. All of the elements added up, formed the present Ye Yuan.


    This Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art, as Ye Yuan refined the pills using this technique, his entire person gradually became sublimated.


    Through this Tai Chi diagram in front of him, Ye Yuan actually felt a sense of looking down on all life.


    Right now, he felt like he was refining a medicinal pill with heaven and earth as the furnace!


    Finally, the Dao Defying Pill''s refinement entered the final juncture.


    That Tai Chi diagram suddenly released a dazzling light, piercing until everyone could not open their eyes.


    With Ye Yuan as the center, it formed an enormous vortex. Terrifying essence energy swarmed over towards this vortex.


    It was akin to trickling streams, converging to form a sea.


    Ye Yuan was completely enveloped by the light. Outside, Li-er and the rest already completely could not see what was happening inside anymore.


    They only sensed that it was as if the entire world was exerting great efforts for Ye Yuan to refine the medicinal pill!


    "If not for seeing it with my own eyes, I wouldn''t believe at all that one could still refine like this! This is the true perfection of Alchemy Dao!" Gu Yue said with an emotional sigh.


    He was born in an alchemy path noble family, his horizons exceedingly high. But this spectacle in front of him, he did not dare to imagine at all.


    This sight was deeply engraved in his mind, becoming his lifelong pursuit.


    Of course, not just him, Ren Dong also smiled bitterly and said, "These few years, I cultivated bitterly every minute and second. Originally, I thought that I could approach Master a little. But only now do I know that we are people from completely different worlds with him! However, I''ll definitely catch up to his footsteps."


    Spurred into motion under this vortex, nine medicinal embryos were currently revolving at extremely high speed.


    The faster the vortex spun, the faster the medicinal embryos spun as well.


    Gradually, that massive light contracted, becoming smaller and smaller.


    That Tai Chi diagram was similarly gradually shrinking.


    Finally, all of the storms converged onto Ye Yuan''s palm.


    A dark red medicinal pill suspended above his palm quietly.


    Everyone scrambled forward, all sizing up the pill and Ye Yuan like curious babies.


    "Big Brother, how �� do you feel?" White Light said.


    "Master, this is the Dao Defying Pill? I can''t tell what special aspects it has! Such a heaven-defying pill actually doesn''t even have pill tribulation!" Xiao Ruyan said.


    Ye Yuan smiled but said nothing. But Kunwu came up and said with a smile, "Refining the pill with Great Dao, this medicinal pill obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao. Even Heavenly Dao didn''t say anything, who would send down heavenly tribulation?"


    "Grand-teacher, you''re really too amazing! In my view, an Alchemy God is nothing more than this, right?" Gu Yue sighed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan sized up the Dao Defying Pill in the palm of his hand. But this current mood was unusually calm, far from the anticipation and uneasiness before the refinement.


    He knew that he must have succeeded!


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Fine lad, you already obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao. In the future, when your strength is sufficient, you''ll be able to replace Old Fart Immortal Grove, becoming this empyrean world''s master!"


    Kunwu thought that Ye Yuan would be extremely excited by this news. After all, in his opinion, the master of an empyrean world, that was a supreme existence.


    Even he could not achieve this step either.


    But he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was very calm and was not moved in the slightest over this sentence.


    "Master of an empyrean world is it? Senior, even if I really became the Immortal Grove Region''s controller, what I walk will just be Senior Immortal Grove''s Dao as well. Although his Dao is strong, if I walk according to his path, I''ll never surpass him for life" Ye Yuan said calmly.


    Kunwu''s gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually said such a thing!


    Controlling an empyrean world, even a dilapidated empyrean world, this was a tremendous temptation outside.


    Few people could resist this kind of temptation!


    But Ye Yuan actually said this kind of words that swept down irresistibly from a commanding height. It truly made him sigh endlessly with admiration.


    If this were in the outside world, Kunwu absolutely would not be surprised.


    But this was the Immortal Grove Region!


    To him, Ye Yuan was a mortal!


    A mortal, suddenly controlling a world, becoming the hegemon of a world, how great a temptation was this?


    But Ye Yuan was actually unmoved!


    "Heh, you, boy, are indeed extraordinary. No wonder you can get picked by Immortal Grove! What you said is right, any great achiever must have their own Dao. It''s just that even though this path has limitless potential, it''s incomparably arduous. There are really barely anyone with the courage to walk this path," Kunwu said solemnly.


    Kunwu still had some words that he did not say. It was not that there were none who walked this path, but the majority of them all failed.


    In other words, to the vast majority, they were all overestimating their ability!


    Moreover, Ye Yuan had not walked out of this empyrean world yet.


    These words were a bit too boastful.


    How could Ye Yuan not perceive Kunwu''s insinuation? It was just that he did not care and said smilingly, "I''d rather be ground to dust than fade into mediocrity!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s resolute eyes, Kuneu fell silent and did not speak.


    In his heart, he was somewhat disdainful.


    Ye Yuan''s talent was indeed terrifying, but that was also merely just in this empyrean world.


    The outside world''s powerhouses'' starting points were different from this empyrean world!


    But toward Ye Yuan''s way of thinking, Kunwu still secretly praised with admiration.


    To be able to have such ideas, it was already not that easy.


    "Haha, it''s far away! Food has to be eaten mouthful by mouthful. Now isn''t the time to sit and debate on Dao. When I resolve the crisis of the fiend race, it won''t be too late to think about these again," Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said.


    "Master, are you going to consume this Dao Defying Pill right now?" Xiao Ruyan said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Time won''t wait for me! I''m currently racing with Kanuo, it will depend on who can run faster! Wait for me to adjust my breathing for a bit, and I''ll prepare to break through!"


    Ye Yuan did not have much time to waste. He knew that Kanuo was also seizing every minute and second to recover his strength.


    Entering this Godsfall Mountain Range already wasted a lot of time.


    Now, it will depend on who could succeed first!


    A day later, Ye Yuan''s Essence, Energy, Spirit, were all adjusted to their peak condition. He delivered that dark red Dao Defying Pill into his mouth.


    ...


    At virtually the same time, Kanuo finally exited seclusion and led the fiend race army to bear down upon the borders!


    The fiend race retaliating in full force, making Fang Tian realize that Kanuo was probably not far from leaving seclusion already.


    Hence, he pulled back all of the lines of defense and withdrew all of the humans back to the Demon Region, planning to deal with this final battle.


    "Fang Tian, this deity is back! Starting from today, this Immortal Grove Region, belongs to me, Kanuo!"


    Kanuo''s voice was akin to rolling thunders, reverberating through the skies of the dragon clan.

 1271 So, This is the Deity Realm!

    Fang Tian looked at the insufferably arrogant Kanuo in the distance, his expression turned gloomy.


    "In the end, Ye Yuan couldn''t make it?"


    "Senior, I''ll go and fight him!" Teng Yun said.


    Fang Tian gave him a glance said, "You don''t need to go and die. With his current strength, annihilating you is just a matter of a flick of a finger. You''re unable to imagine how terrifying the strength of Origin Deity Realm is!"


    Fang Tian comprehended for 10 thousand years and only merely comprehended concepts to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    It was precisely because of so that he was even more aware of how frightening the Origin Deity Realm was.


    Moreover, even the Absolute Heaven back then was unable to kill Kanuo.


    How great his strength was could be seen at a glance.


    "Then �� What should we do?" With Teng Yun''s might, he had a look of despair at this time too.


    Fang Tian heaved a sigh and said, "Delaying every second count, I guess! If Ye Yuan can succeed, he''ll help to avenge us. If not �� Then the Divine Realm will also end here!"


    Teng Yun could not help feeling stifled when he heard that. He had followed Fang Tian for many years already. He had never seen before Fang Tian speak with this kind of tone.


    He knew that Fang Tian was really at his wit''s end already.


    Even if Fang Tian risked this old life, it was also not possible to be Kanuo''s match.


    But at this time, Cao Yunzhi came over anxiously to find, and said, "Senior, that guy is too arrogant! The people below are all seething with righteous indignation and are all requesting to battle! I almost can''t suppress it anymore!"


    Teng Yun brows furrowed, and he said, "This bunch of guys who think themselves to be infallible. Do they really think that the fiend race is kneaded from clay?"


    Fang Tian said to Teng Yun, "You go and quell them a bit. Have everyone not to act recklessly without careful though! They don''t know the terror of a heavenly fiendgod, so being like this is also understandable. I''ll go and face-off with Kanuo."


    Finished talking, his figure moved, vanishing from where he was.


    ...


    With the medicinal pill entering his abdomen, Ye Yuan felt like he was about to explode.


    The surging medicinal strength gushed forth wantonly inside his body.


    Finally, his body could not endure it anymore and directly exploded into pieces!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s expressions changed drastically!


    "Big Brother Yuan!"


    "Big Brother!"


    "Young Master!"


    ...


    Li-er they all were dumbfounded by this scene that arrived unexpectedly. All of them screamed and sprinted towards Ye Yuan.


    However, barely taking two steps, they were stopped by a powerful force and were unable to move an inch forward.


    A calm voice sounded out beside their ears.


    "He''s not dead yet. Don''t shout and wrangle! You all, look!" Kunwu said.


    Everyone was shocked. Focused their eyes and looking over, they discovered that the shattered Ye Yuan did not scatter everywhere, but coagulated and did not dissipate.


    An enormous Tai Chi diagram appeared out of thin air once more, condensing Ye Yuan''s flesh and blood inside.


    "Senior, this �� What''s going in? Is Big Brother Yuan alright?" Li-er was uncertain what it meant and still asked incomparably nervously.


    The scene just now was truly too frightening. At that moment, she only felt her head buzz, her mind a total blank.


    But Kunwu said with an indifferent look, "Heh, how can a mortal fleshy body withstand Heavenly Dao? Reestablishing after being broken, he re-molded Heavenly Dao with a medicinal pill. Right now, his lesser Heavenly Dao is going to re-mold Essence, Energy, and Spirit, so that it can withstand his Heavenly Dao."


    Everyone exchanged glances when they heard that, all had looks of incredulity.


    They had never heard before that achieving Deity Realm would have such a thing happen!


    Ye Yuan''s way of breaking through was truly too frightening.


    Seeing the expression on everyone''s faces, Kunwu smiled and said, "If it was 100 thousand years ago, him breaking through to Deity Realm naturally doesn''t need to be like this. But now �� huhu, one naturally can''t use normal means to breakthrough. His current situation is tantamount to operating a miniature Heavenly Dao within his own body, and has no correlation with the outside world anymore! But you guys rest assured. When he breaks through to Grotto Profound Deity Realm, his strength will be much stronger compared to ordinary Grotto Profound Deity Realms."


    Even though Kunwu''s explanation was well-grounded and reasoned, with everyone''s relationship with Ye Yuan, not seeing Ye Yuan recover his original appearance with their own eyes, how could they set their minds at ease?


    But Ye Yuan''s current state was totally different from that horrifying sight that everyone saw.


    He felt like he seemed to have returned to his mother''s womb. Everything was so serene and peaceful.


    At this moment, he felt like he had floated above the ninth layer of heaven, overlooking all life.


    As if the Divine Realm''s everything, he was able to take it all into his sight!


    "This is �� Endless World! Wu Fang City!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was currently staring at the Lower Realms'' Wu Fang City at this time!


    The city was still as busy as ever. Everyone came to this alchemy holy land to make a pilgrimage.


    Ever since this place produced a Ye Yuan, the reputation of alchemy holy land could no longer be shaken.


    "That is �� Father!"


    Ye Yuan was pleasantly surprised. Who he saw was precisely Ye Hang!


    Ye Hang at this time was currently sitting high above at the City Lord Manor, signing something for the people below.


    Turned out that he was actually Wu Fang City''s city lord already!


    "Heh heh, ten years, Father really did it!"


    Even though there was Ye Yuan around, the ten-year covenant originally was already nothing.


    But Ye Hang still did not be laidback!


    Within 10 years, Ye Hang broke through to peak Alchemy Sovereign, becoming this Wu Fang City''s lord!


    His grandfather, Ren Xingchun, had clearly relinquished his throne already.


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred and saw that Ren Xingchun was currently cultivating in closed-seclusion inside a secret room.


    In addition, Ren Hongling was currently talking to a teenage girl.


    That little girl was actually 70% to 80% similar to Ren Hongling between the brows. She also looked somewhat similar to him.


    "Could it be that this little girl �� is actually my sister! Haha, with a sister to carry out filial piety on my behalf, it also put my heart at much greater ease."


    Discovering this scene, Ye Yuan was pleasantly surprised too.


    Ye Hang''s and Ren Hongling''s age were not considered old. They, who were without children, gave birth to a sister for him alleviated Ye Yuan''s sense of guilt significantly.


    Following that, Ye Yuan''s gaze swept over and saw the Tranquil Cloud Sect that was like the noonday sun.


    The current Tranquil Cloud Sect was goodness knows how many times grander than before.


    Inside the sect, Long Tang was dressed in the sect master''s attire. He actually became the master of the Tranquil Cloud Sect already!


    Seeing all these, Ye Yuan could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion.


    In a blink of an eye, it had already been close to 20 years since he left the Endless World.


    Even though the Endless World was just a small world, it had a tremendous impact on Ye Yuan''s this lifetime.


    Of course, in the eyes of the current Ye Yuan, the Endless World did not even count as a small world.


    Because even this Divine Realm was also merely an empyrean world.


    Outside, there was an even broader space.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, and he turned his gaze to the Divine Realm''s dragon clan, and it involuntarily became intent!


    Above the sky, Fang Tian and Heavenly Fiendgod faced each other from a distance, seemingly talking about something.


    Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo actually came into being once more!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan could not help panicking greatly in his heart.


    He did not expect that it was still Kanuo who was a step faster in the end!


    Just as Ye Yuan was burning with anxiety, Ye Yuan''s consciousness was abruptly pulled away.


    He only felt his eyes blur, the scene returning to the Godsfall Mountain Range again.


    Sensing this brand new body, Ye Yuan felt like he possessed limitless power. It was as if the entire world could be used by him!


    "So, this is the Deity Realm!" Ye Yuan muttered.

 1272 Brahma True Fiend, One Palm Destroying Worlds!

    "Isn''t this the senior who defeated that fiendgod on that day? Haha, he finally took action! With him around, the human race is all guaranteed!"


    "Who''s that lord? Is he very strong?"


    "Heh, more than strong! The last time, that fiendgod took advantage of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and Zhuge Qingxuan fighting until both sides suffered heavy losses and ambushed the dragon clan. It was this lord who made a move to repel him!"


    "So formidable? That fiend race fellow is too cocky, to actually say whatever the Divine Realm is his! Really bullying that my Divine Realm has no one!"


    ...


    Fang Tian''s sudden appearance gave the dragon clan''s powerhouses a heart-calming pill.


    The scene of him defeating Kanuo that day was still vivid in everyone''s mind.


    That heaven-shocking attack left an extremely deep impression on everyone.


    And only then did those human race powerhouses know that turned out the human race still had an existence comparable to the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    With this, their hearts finally went back in place.


    They did not know how strong Kanuo was and also did not know how strong Fang Tian was.


    In their view, the Heaven Surmounting Divine King battling three great fiendgods alone and even slaying one of them, was already powerful to the extreme.


    No matter how strong these two people were, they also would not be stronger than Ye Yuan.


    Therefore, the ignorant were fearless, this sentence, still made a lot of sense.


    Fang Tian''s emotion was far from as relaxed as them.


    "Heh, Fang Tian brat, you and I have fought for 50 thousand years. Today, this deity is finally going to banish you into the dirt!" Kanuo said with a cold laugh.


    Ever since being suppressed by Absolute Heaven a million years ago, Kanuo could be said to be depressed to the extreme in the Immortal Grove Region.


    All the way until 50 thousand years ago, he saw Heavenly Dao dwindle to zero, and humans were no longer able to step foot into Deity Realm. He thought that his chance had come.


    Did not expect that the little known Fang Tian came soaring into existence, severely injuring him once more.


    Toward Fang Tian, Kanuo hated to the extreme.


    Now, he finally returned to the peak, returning as a king with the realm of a heavenly fiendgod.


    How could there be the logic of Fang Tian not dying?


    But First Level said with a face like an old well without ripples: "Kanuo, you didn''t succeed even after struggling for a million years, could it be that you still remain too obstinate to realize your error? This Divine Realm''s Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate you! Even if you returned to the peak, do you think that you''re this old man''s match? Don''t you forget, even if you''re any more powerful, you''re also merely a Half-Deity Realm! There isn''t an insurmountable gap between us!"


    Fang Tian''s words made Kanuo''s heart thump.


    Fang Tian''s words hit the mark!


    Back then, Lord Fiend Empyrean made him and Yue Ji search for the Immortal Grove Region, and find Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s empyrean spirit treasure.


    They found the region andentered it, but a million years passed, and they still did not complete the mission.


    Not that their strengths were not strong enough, it was because this Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao rejected their appearance!


    Could it be that this Fang Tian obtained some trump card again, that was why he was so confident?


    Empyrean spirit treasure''s could not be surmised with common sense!


    At this time, Fang Tian already had no other means and could only put on an empty-fort strategy, scaring Kanuo away.


    But it looked like this empty-fort strategy seemed to be somewhat effective.


    "Heh, so what then? You''re indeed very formidable, but compared to the Absolute Heaven back then, you''re still a little inferior! Even Absolute Heaven couldn''t do anything to this deity, could the likes of you? Moreover, this deity has obtained the Fiendsource Bead now. My strength is even greater compared to back then! Today, I want to see if this Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao is really that so powerful!" Kanuo said with a cold smile.


    He was not so easy to bluff. Preparing for so many years, how could he easily give up?


    Rolling fiend energy spread out from Kanuo''s body. Clouds of black gas virtually blotted out the sky and obscured the sun.


    Only at this time did those humans before know how terrifying this Kanuo''s strength was!


    Fang Tian''s expression was incomparably ugly. He also did not expect that this Kanuo was actually so decisive in going for the kill. He could not even delay for half a second.


    He knew that that was already no way out!


    Fang Tian did not value his life, he just could not bear to see ten thousand miles of land become a sea of blood.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Tian removed his seal on the essence energy sea. A powerful essence energy undulation made the human race powerhouses extremely inspired with enthusiasm.


    Evenly-matched in strength!


    Just looking at the magnitude of the essence energy, he and Kanuo both belonged to Half-Deity Realm; barely any difference.


    But following the release of the essence energy seal, Fang Tian''s appearance aged at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Seeing this scene, Kanuo was first stunned, then burned with a monstrous rage. In the end, he let out a wild laugh!


    "Hahaha �� It turns out that you''re already an expiring lamp that ran out of oil! What a terrific Fang Tian! You''ve bluffed this deity so bitterly these few years! Today, this deity is going to ground you to dust. Only then can it give vent to the hatred in my heart!" Kanuo laughed from extreme anger and said.


    Only now did he know that Fang Tian was long a dying lamp already!


    If he was not scared away the last time, there would not be today''s matter long ago already.


    He would not need to recover his peak strength and would be able to capture all of the people that posed a threat to him in one fell swoop!


    Now, he wasted the greater part of a year''s time in vain. But what he waited for was such a result!


    "Senior, we''ll fight side by side with you!"


    At this time, over a dozen figures arrived in the air, standing together with Fang Tian.


    Teng Yun, Long Min, Zhong Zizhen, and the rest revealed decisive looks. This scene was rather solemn and stirring.


    "Humph! A bunch of ants! This deity will let you all take a look today, at just what kind of being a Heavenly Fiendgod is!"


    Kanuo looked at everyone in disdain. Both hands forming a seal, a terrifying power of law wafted between heaven and earth.


    Above the void, that monstrous fiendish energy gradually condensed to form a gigantic true fiend dharma idol.


    The power emitted by that true fiend dharma idol made everyone''s faces change drastically!


    "Brahma True Fiend! One Palm Destroying World!"


    Kanuo''s cold voice sounded out as if he blew the horn that was destroying the world.


    The true fiend dharma idol slowly opened its eyes. Everyone felt their blood run cold.


    That feeling was really like it was Armageddon!


    This true fiend dharma idol was too terrifying!


    The people''s gaze all involuntarily gathered on those dozen over profiles in the air.


    That was their final hope!


    Fang Tian''s complexion was deathly pale. No one was sure if it was because he was already a dying lamp, or because of the pressure than the true fiend dharma idol gave him.


    The true fiend dharma idol slowly raised its palm. A scent of despair instantly swept across the human powerhouses.


    "Hahaha �� Enjoy this final despair! After today, the human race shall be thoroughly erased from the Immortal Grove Region! This Immortal Grove Region is my fiend race''s!" Kanuo said with a crazed laugh.


    A palm slowly pressed down. The entire space seemed to be squashed.


    World destroying power, it was really not a brag!


    "Do it!"


    Fang Tian mustered up all of his final essence energy. A palm burst forth brazenly.


    A terrifying force welcomed the true fiend palm!


    Fang Tian''s strength could not be said to not be strong. This place actually just nice blocked the true fiend palm!


    The other powerhouses also did not have the slightest hesitation, bringing out all of their strength one after another, welcoming the true fiend palm.


    "Blocked it! Haha, blocked it!"


    "Saved! If this palm were to land, we''d be dead for sure!"


    "This senior has such formidable strength, to actually be able to block such a terrifying palm!"


    ...


    However, the people''s excitement of surviving a disaster had yet to last for two breaths of time, and everyone''s faces already changed drastically!

 1273 Supporting the Sky With One Hand!

    "Puu, puu, puu!"


    In midair, the human race and demon race powerhouses virtually spewed blood at the same time. The barrier that a group of powerhouses used every last ounce of strength to create, crumbled with a loud bang!


    Over a dozen figures fell down from the air powerlessly. The fiend palm continued to land neither too fast nor too slowly.


    "Senior Fang Tian!"


    Teng Yun yelled out, mustering the not much remaining essence energy, bundling up Fang Tian, who was on the brink of death.


    "This �� What''s going on here? How �� How could he be so strong?"


    "Human and demon, two race''s dozen over peak powerhouses, actually couldn''t even last past two breaths of time? My �� My eyesight isn''t failing, right?"


    "This fiendgod seems to be somewhat different from those previously! He �� He''s so strong!"


    "Where''s the Heaven Surmounting Divine King? Why hasn''t the Heaven Surmounting Divine King showed up until now? Could it be that �� he ��"


    ...


    Only at this time did the human and demon, two race''s martial artists, know how powerful Kanuo''s strength was!


    That apocalyptic palm was not shouted out to scare people!


    Under a palm, Fang Tian plus over ten human and demon, two race''s pinnacle powerhouses, were all defeated. What trump cards did they still have to resist?


    At this time, someone finally thought of Ye Yuan and discovered that he never appeared before from start to end.


    This human race''s leader actually fled on the eve of battle?


    For a moment, resentful scoldings spread among the crowd.


    Of course, even more were �� feeling fearful!


    The true fiend dharma idol''s palm was still slowly landed. The earth was trembling.


    The more it was this sort of time, the more they hoped for there to be the appearance of a savior, and were also disdainful towards Ye Yuan''s action of fleeing in the face of danger.


    More and more people scolded him, getting increasingly nastier.


    All of the spearheads were all pointed at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan left in secret. The people who knew were not many.


    Even the two race''s upper echelons, those who knew were also a meager lot.


    Seeing this scene, Teng Yun seriously could not resist and shouted angrily, "ALL SHUT UP FOR ME!"


    Teng Yun''s voice was akin to a great bell, directly suppressing all of the rebuking voices.


    "You all these ignorant fools! Ye Yuan he entered deep into the god-forbidden region to search for an opportunity to become a deity in order to deal with Kanuo, facing certain death! You all, these useless fellows, each and every one of you only know how to blame heaven and other people. Think carefully, have you worked hard before yourselves?"


    Everyone all quietened down, their faces revealing abashed expressions.


    They suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan really had not appeared in a long time.


    No one thought that he actually entered the god-forbidden region.


    That was a place that even Deity Realm powerhouses did not dare to step foot into!


    Looks like the Heaven Surmounting Divine King they all had long known that this fiendgod''s strength was unstoppable. That was why he would use this kind of extreme method to search for a last hint of turning point for the human race.


    But could he succeed?


    It had been over 100 thousand years. How many peerlessly talented people were unable to open that magical door too?


    Could the Heaven Surmounting Divine King succeed?


    "Hahaha �� Tremble! Despair! Everything that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove created, this deity is going to utterly destroy it today! Hahaha ��"


    In the air, Kanuo''s high and mighty laughter came over.


    In this day and age without Deity Realm, he was an invincible existence!


    "Quick! O-Open up the 28 Constellation �� Spirit Guarding �� Grand Array!"


    At this time, that feeble voice of Fang Tian came over.


    Teng Yun was uncertain what it meant, but he still reacted at the first moment!


    "Quick! The Four Symbols Family Clans activate the spirit guarding grand arrays at the same time!" Teng Yun roared loudly.


    Even though the four clans were not together, they had an array formation that transmitted news amongst themselves.


    Teng Yun''s order spread across the four clans right away.


    The grand arrays activated. The spirits of the four symbols surged to the sky, working in concert with each other from a distance!


    Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, the spirits of the four symbols seemed to have obtained impel, converging above dragon clan''s sky in an instant!


    The spirits of the four symbols each gave a long roar, forming a terrifying resonance with each other.


    An enormous barrier condensed and formed at the dragon clan''s sky.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s gaze that despaired revealed hope once more.


    Everyone did not expect that the four clans activating the spirit guarding grand arrays at the same time, could actually have such an effect.


    Boom!


    The giant black palm landed right onto the barrier, shaking until the earth quaked.


    "Blocked it! Didn''t think that the Four Symbols Family Clans still had such a formidable grand array!" A series of thrilled voices came from in the crowd.


    Seeing that the barrier was actually effective, Teng Yun was greatly surprised too.


    He had never heard before that the Four Symbols Family Clans'' spirit guarding grand arrays actually still had such an effect.


    "Senior, it worked!" Teng Yun said with joy.


    Fang Tian shook his head powerlessly and said, "I-It''s useless."


    The current Fang Tian had already reached the brink of death. He was just hanging in there with one last breath and might die at any time.


    But Fang Tian''s words made Teng Yun''s heart sink.


    But Kanuo looked at this scene coldly and said with a cold sneer, "Four symbols resonance? Heh heh, if it''s the four clans'' progenitors here, this four symbols resonance would naturally be powerful! But it''s a shame, oh, it''s a shame!"


    A black bead was faintly discernible on Kanuo''s forehead. His fiendish energy skyrocketed several times all of a sudden!


    That true fiend dharma idol''s power similarly skyrocketed several times!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Under the demonic palm, that barrier only lasted for several breaths of time, and cracks actually started to appear.


    That ear-piercing sound made the faces of the two race''s martial artists turn deathly pale in an instant.


    Still could not work!


    The cracks on the barrier became more and more. Finally, unable to withstand the power of the palm, it thoroughly collapsed!


    The spirits of the four symbols could not withstand this kind of power either, directly turning into nothingness.


    Rumble ��


    The gigantic palm came closer and closer. The pressure got increasingly closer.


    Split ��


    The giant palm had yet to completely land, and a group of martial artists whose strength was slightly weaker already could not withstand this pressure, vomiting fresh blood in large mouthfuls.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Landing a fraction more, quite a few martial artists'' bodies exploded straight away, being convulsed into meat paste.


    The faces of Teng Yun and the rest were incomparably ugly. This Kanuo was too strong, strong until it made people despair!


    He finally knew now, why Ye Yuan wanted to enter deep into the god-forbidden region, to seek out that virtually impossible hope.


    Without Deity Realm, they had no chance of victory at all!


    "Puhwark!"


    The giant palm was already hanging over their heads. Teng Yun finally could not resist spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    That attack previously already exhausted most of his strength. Currently, he was already a spent force, and he still had to branch out a portion of essence energy to go protect Fang Tian.


    He was already almost at his limits!


    "Could it be that it ends here?" Teng Yun said with unwillingness.


    "Hahaha �� Immortal Grove Heavenly Fiendgod is nothing more than this! You suppressed this deity for a million years, today, this deity shall get it all back, both principal and interest! Brahma True Fiend, kill for me!"


    In the midst of Kanuo''s wild laugh, the giant palm landed with a loud bang.


    Looks of despair surfaced on everyone''s faces. This front and back hundred breaths of time, they had seemingly fallen to the 18 levels of hell.


    In the crowd, tragic cries rose one after another.


    This was the cry of despair!


    Boom!


    Right at this time, the giant palm suddenly stopped!


    Air billows rolled out, directly sweeping out 100 thousand miles away.


    The air billows swept up a series of fierce gales, blowing until everyone''s eyes could not open.


    When they came back to their senses and focused their eyes to look over, only to see a tiny and frail body, actually use one hand, and supported the Brahma True Fiend''s palm!

 1274 In a Flick of a Finger, an Army is Reduced to Dus

    Insignificant and weak, that was in comparison to a true fiend dharma idol.


    Facing that true fiend dharma idol akin to beholding a great mountain, that figure was simply insignificant.


    But he only used one hand and propped that enormous palm up!


    "Ye Yuan!"


    "Heaven Surmounting Divine King! It''s the Heaven Surmounting Divine King! Hahaha �� The Heaven Surmounting Divine King finally rushed back!"


    Ye Yuan''s appearance made everyone incredibly excited!


    Previously, the Spirit Bristle Divine King said that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King entered deep into the god-forbidden region, searching for the opportunity to become a deity.


    Now that the Heaven Surmounting Divine King returned, could it be that �� he succeeded?


    With that in mind, they felt like their hearts were almost leaping out!


    When Fang Tian saw Ye Yuan''s figure, there was actually an additional trace of luster in those dead eyes.


    Teng Yun even started trembling with excitement. He grasped Fang Tian''s hands and said agitatedly, "Senior, he �� he came back! Hahaha �� He really came back! I say, could he have �� could he have ��"


    Fang Tian was powerless to speak, but he still nodded his head firmly.


    Right now, he could confirm that what caused these few days of heaven and earth phenomenon was definitely Ye Yuan!


    As long as he came back, he must had broken through to the Deity Realm!


    Furthermore, Fang Tian''s concept comprehension was more than a magnitude stronger compared to the others. He could feel that elusive and intangible aura on Ye Yuan''s body.


    That sort of feeling was as if what he was facing was �� the Heavenly Dao.


    Kanuo''s eyes became wide-circles, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    He knew how strong the Brahma True Fiend was. But Ye Yuan actually blocked it with just one hand!


    "Brahma True Fiend! Crush for me!"


    Kanuo urged the Fiendsource Bead to the limits. The power of the Brahma True Fiend''s palm surged.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and gave a palm with a flip of a hand.


    The tiny flesh palm came into contact with the Brahma True Fiend''s palm once more and actually directly shocked the massive palm back.


    The Brahma True Fiend''s dharma idol seemed to have been struck by lightning, its entire body started trembling.


    Finally, with a loud bang, it directly dissipated into nothing!


    When the fiend race powerhouses saw this scene, their eyeballs popped out.


    "W-What kind of joke is this?! The Brahma True Fiend �� was actually scattered by a single palm!"


    The one who spoke was Fiendgod Jia Lan. When he saw this scene, he even suspected that there was a problem with his eyes.


    How strong was the Brahma True Fiend?


    Back then, when Absolute Heaven faced off with Lord Kanuo, he also kept a good distance away from this move!


    But now, it was actually scattered by Ye Yuan''s one palm!


    Yue Ji''s pupils also constricted. Likewise, as a heavenly fiendgod, she was naturally aware of the formidable aspect of Brahma True Fiend, this move.


    This martial technique was passed down by His Excellency, Fiend Lord, and its power was boundless.


    Even though Kanuo was unable to unleash its true power, it was also absolutely not what an empyrean world''s aboriginal could defeat.


    The only possibility was that �� Ye Yuan corroborated his Dao and became a deity!


    But how was this possible?


    Ye Yuan did not care about everyone''s astonishment; his figure suddenly vanished.


    When he reappeared again, it was already beside Fang Tian.


    "Senior, Ye Yuan came late and has made you suffer!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan extended two fingers. A ball of green light appeared on his fingertips.


    It was only to see him lightly tap at Fang Tian''s glabella. The green light flashed and disappeared, injecting itself into Fang Tian''s body.


    A colossal life force instantly shone inside Fang Tian''s body, making him a lot more energetic.


    "Ye Yuan, this �� this is?"


    Fang Tian looked at this scene in disbelief. His bodily functions obtained restoration virtually instantly.


    The him that was already close to death actually revived miraculously.


    Ye Yuan said, "This is the lease of life that I sought from Senior Kunwu. With this wisp of vitality, it can guarantee you a hundred years of lifespan!"


    "A-A hundred years?"


    Fang Tian drew a breath of cold air, looking at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost.


    Previously, Ye Yuan expended a Herculean effort before refining the arcane insight rank Heavenly Fragrance Life Extending Pill, extending his lifespan by 30 years.


    Now, just a wisp of vitality could guarantee him a hundred years of longevity.


    This was simply something inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "That''s right! Senior Kunwu''s strength is what we''re unable to imagine. If not that you''ve already reached the point where you''re an expiring lamp that ran out of oil, just this wisp of vitality is sufficient to extend your lifespan by as long as 10 thousand years!"


    Everyone was taken aback by shock!


    Even the most powerful medicinal pill was also unable to extend lifespan by 10 thousand years.


    Ye Yuan sought for a total for two wisps of vitality. One was for Fang Tian, but the other was for his mother.


    "Ye Yuan, you �� could you have ��"


    Teng Yun was not a person who did not know how to convey the meaning of his words. But at this moment, he really did not know how he should word it.


    He was very afraid, terrified that Ye Yuan did not break through to the Deity Realm.


    But this sort of thing was truly unimaginable.


    Under the circumstances where Heavenly Dao was missing today, was there really someone capable of breaking through to the Deity Realm?


    Ye Yuan smiled and nodded his head.


    When everyone saw the situation, their minds all buzzed, becoming blank, all unable to think anymore.


    It was true!


    Ye Yuan really broke through to the Deity Realm!"


    "Haha �� hahaha, Ye Yuan, c-congratulations to you! Haha ��"


    There was a look of wild elation on Teng Yun''s face, and he could not even quite choose his words anymore. He was even happier than himself breaking through to the Deity Realm.


    After the astonishment, the others were likewise greatly surprised.


    Ye Yuan breaking through to the Deity Realm indicated that they no longer needed to be afraid of Kanuo!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan broke through to the Deity Realm. That meant that they could all break through to the Deity Realm!


    Perhaps, Deity Realm would descend upon the Divine Realm anew!


    How could this sort of thing not make them wild ecstatic?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Talk about this later. I''ll be right back!"


    These words were domineering!


    To be able to say this sort of words to Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo, there was probably only a Deity Realm powerhouse, right?


    With a flash, Ye Yuan appeared in the sky once more, overlooking all life.


    Even someone as powerful as Kanuo was also merely a slightly stronger ant in his eyes.


    All under the Deity Realm were ants. This was not just lip service!


    After breaking through to the Deity Realm, Ye Yuan deeply sensed the power of the Deity Realm!


    He saw Fang Tian and Kanuo''s confrontation in his consciousness, then broke through to Deity Realm very soon and begged Kunwu for two wisps of vitality, crossing hundreds of millions of miles in an instant, arrived at the dragon clan, and just nice caught up to the Brahma True Fiend''s palm.


    "Kanuo, you don''t belong here. You have plagued the Immortal Grove Region for as long as a million years! Today is your judgment day!" Those indifferent words of Ye Yuan''s directly sentenced Kanuo to death.


    Kanuo''s expression changed, and he said in a stern voice, "Fiend race army, attack for me! Kill this kid!"


    In the fiend race, there was only obedience.


    Even if ahead was a blade mountain and sea of fire, those fiend race powerhouses would also proceed without hesitation!


    For a moment, a horde of momentous and tidal-like voices sounded out!


    The fiend race powerhouses and fiend slave numbered far more than billions.


    Including Jia Lan, these fiendgods, each and every one of them brought out their strongest attack, wanting to drown Ye Yuan using human wave tactics.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said coolly, "Humph! Dull and thickheaded!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan suddenly smacked a palm out. Heaven and earth changed colors!


    A berserk giant dragon rose into the air, charging forth and meeting those countless attacks.


    Rumble ��


    After ten breaths, there was a stretch of scorched earth before one''s eyes.


    In a flick of a finger, an army was reduced to dust!

 1275 Kanuos Trump Card!

    Between heaven and earth, there was a dead silence.


    There was only a trace of cool breeze reverberating between heaven and earth.


    The human martial artists felt like there was something stuck in their chest and had to get it out of their chest.


    This scene deeply astounded them.


    Slaughtering billions of powerhouses in one move, such means was simply inconceivable!


    "My eyesight must be failing! It must be going blurry! This isn''t real!"


    "T-Too strong! Deity Realm! This must be the Deity Realm! The Heaven Surmounting Divine King, he �� must have broken through to the Deity Realm!"


    "No wonder everyone says that all are ants under the Deity Realm. Deity Realm �� is truly too strong!"


    ...


    Such a spectacle was seriously too impactful.


    Even the Fiendgod Jia Lan and four great fiendgods who had once considered themselves without equal in the world, all turned to dust under Ye Yuan''s attack.


    This was already another kind of realm, a realm that they were unable to imagine!


    Such might, even his own people shuddered.


    "Is �� Is this Deity Realm?"


    Looking at that slightly thin and weak figure above in the sky, Teng Yun muttered to himself.


    The powerful strength that Ye Yuan displayed struck his heart directly, making his heart quiver with excitement.


    The thirst towards Deity Realm, they all, these powerhouses who stood at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, yearned for it the most.


    But, even if they stood at the summit, they could not touch that layer of membrane either.


    Ye Yuan''s breakthrough gave them hope.


    "Don''t think anymore, Ye Yuan''s success cannot be replicated!"


    Fang Tian heaved a sigh, shattering Teng Yun''s dream to pieces.


    He turned around to look at Fang Tian and said unwillingly, "W-Why?"


    Fang Tian sighed again and said, "If my conjectures are right, Ye Yuan has already obtained Heavenly Dao''s recognition and became a true deity that towers above all life! The strength that he displayed earlier was far greater than a true initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm! His attacks carry the might of Heavenly Dao, that''s why it''s so powerful!"


    "M-Might of Heavenly Dao?"


    Teng Yun felt like his brain was somewhat short-circuiting. Fang Tian''s words made him somewhat unable to comprehend.


    What was Heavenly Dao?


    That was the thing that all the martial artists had to comprehend!


    Vague and intangible, the most mysterious of the mysterious!


    Heavenly Dao towered above all life. How could it possibly be used by others?


    Fang Tian''s astonishment was no less than Teng Yun''s


    It was just that his understanding of the Heavenly Dao was far deeper than Teng Yun. So the things that he saw were far more than them.


    "Heavenly Dao being absent, no matter how brilliant one was, it''s also impossible to break the shackles! Ye Yuan blazed another path and created the Dao Defying Pill, and refined it successfully, completing Heavenly Dao within his body. The heaven and earth phenomenon a few days ago was probably a process of Heavenly Dao''s recognition towards him!" Fang Tian said in a solemn voice.


    Teng Yun was utterly in disorder and said in disbelief, "But �� But why?"


    The current Teng Yun seemed to only have this one phrase ''why.''


    Because he really had too many unsolved questions.


    Fang Tian smiled bitterly and said, "What I can understand is also just this much! This Divine Realm doesn''t seem to be as simple as we understand. But I suspect that beyond the Divine Realm, there might be a higher-order world!"


    Teng Yun''s entire body trembled, his face full of disbelief.


    This news was simply too astonishing.


    ...


    Ye Yuan stands proudly in the air, akin to a divinity!


    That feeling of beholding a great mountain was established on strength.


    Kanuo''s eyes were filled with a look of fear.


    Using overwhelmed by terror to describe was not over the top in the least bit!


    He used a tone like he had seen a ghost and said to Ye Yuan, "You �� You actually obtained Heavenly Dao''s recognition, and became the new master! This �� This is impossible!"


    Kanuo''s understanding was far from what the Divine Realm''s martial artists could compare to.


    The moment he saw this move of Ye Yuan''s, Kanuo realized the severity of the problem.


    Ye Yuan''s palm was absolutely not just the strength of just entering the Deity Realm.


    That majesty of Heavenly Dao could not be concealed at all!


    "Didn''t you see it? Kanuo, you''ve plagued the Immortal Grove Region for a million years. Now, it''s time to end it!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Impossible! Impossible! You didn''t obtain Immortal Grove that old thing''s Dao Fruit, how can you possibly become the new master?" Kanuo''s words were full of incredulity.


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Dao Fruit?"


    Ye Yuan realized that this might be the real objective of Kanuo entering the Divine Realm!


    Kanuo realized that his tongue slipped, and he said unresignedly, "This deity is a heavenly fiendgod! Even if you stepped into Deity Realm, what does it count for? True Fiend Descending Upon the Earth!"


    Kanuo was clearly unwilling to fail. His face fell, and monstrous fiendish energy slowly rose once more.


    This time, the Fiendsource Bead suspended on above his head, amplifying his fiendish energy to the limits!


    A violent black gas gradually condensed and formed in the air!


    An enormous true fiend dharma appeared in everyone''s line of sight!


    Originally, that true fiend dharma idol was merely half a body.


    But this time, it was a complete human form.


    Furthermore, this true fiend dharma idol was goodness knows how many times more corporeal than before!


    This true fiend dharma body was far from as large as before. But, that horrifying pressure that exuded struck everyone''s hearts with great terror.


    "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, you''re really very good! But it also ends here! True fiend dharma body, even though the power cannot rival one-millionth of a true fiend''s strength, it''s also absolutely not what the current you can resist!" Kanuo said with a wild laugh.


    That black figure opened its eyes, staring at Ye Yuan coldly, a chilling intent penetrating to the bones.


    "Is that so?" The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth revealed a disdainful look of ridicule.


    Kanuo''s expression turned cold, and he cried out, "Kill!"


    Whoosh!


    The true fiend dharma body suddenly disappeared. A terrifying apocalyptic power instantly wrapped Ye Yuan up.


    The true fiend dharma body reached its hands out nimbly, a palm already pressing onto the top of Ye Yuan''s head.


    The human race martial artists all cried out. Even they also felt the power of this blow.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the slightest intention of budging an inch.


    He just stood there and did nothing.


    Boom!


    An even more terrifying undulation that before spread out!


    The true fiend dharma body was actually sent flying out backward by a recoil force.


    In midair, the true fiend dharma body seemed to have suffered a tremendous impact, its entire body trembling incessantly.


    Finally, with a loud bang, it thoroughly dissipated into nothing.


    Golden light radiated on Ye Yuan''s body, looking incomparably sacred.


    Kanuo''s expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Nine Transformations Golden Body! Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art!"


    Even the Origin Deity Realm Zuo Zong could not breach Skydistant''s defense. The Half-Deity Realm Kanuo was far too lacking!


    After breaking through to Deity Realm, Ye Yuan''s strength increase was all-round.


    Regardless of whether it was offense or defense, it was all unassailable!


    Ye Yuan gave Kanuo a glance and said coolly, "Now, your fiend race can utterly disappear in the Immortal Grove Region!"


    Ye Yuan slowly raised his hand. The wind and clouds of the world suddenly changed!


    A terrifying energy undulation swept across the entire world.


    A hint of viciousness flashed across in Kanuo''s gaze, and he suddenly burst into crazed laughter.


    The void trembled and actually tore apart a large gouge.


    A figure crucified on a cross appeared in front of Kanuo!


    "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, even if you broke through to Deity Realm, you''re still not this deity''s match! If you have the capabilities, come and kill me!" Kanuo laughed wildly unceasingly as if he was crazy.

 1276 Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, a Thousand Autumn Snowfalls!

    Ye Yuan''s mind went buzzing for a bit, feeling like it was going to burst open.


    The instant when he saw this figure, Ye Yuan finally understood just for what reason was his inexplicable heart palpitation!


    Back then, Li-er was fine, and a chord in Ye Yuan''s heart loosened up.


    Ye Yuan also did not go and bother about that inexplicable palpitation anymore.


    But it was precisely because of so that the self-reproach in his heart right now was even more severe.


    "Hahaha, what''s with your expression? Is it very surprising? Is it very delightful?" Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Kanuo laughed loudly and said.


    Ye Yuan''s expression instantly darkened to the extreme.


    His heart was dripping blood!


    On the cross, four elegant limbs were nailed on it by four nails.


    Fresh blood had long dried up!


    That nail, Ye Yuan recognized it. It was called Soul Locking Nail. It was capable of nailing a person''s divine soul, making it unable to escape.


    Even a Divine King powerhouse could not either!


    The cross also faintly had law undulations. It was clearly not an ordinary object.


    Ye Yuan saw through at a glance, that array formation was precisely used for sealing essence energy!


    On the cross, that kingdom-toppling face had a look of calmness and did not seem to have much fear.


    On the contrary, there was actually still a hint of smile on her face!


    But that hint of smile was even more like a steel needle, jabbing onto Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Ye Yuan understood the meaning of that smile!


    She did not blame, did not resent; she �� just wanted to look at her heart''s intent!


    Meeting under this kind of circumstance to her, it was instead a �� most welcomed situation!


    She was the Divine Realm''s number one beauty �� Mu Lingxue!


    "Hahah �� little girl, looks like there isn''t you at all in his heart! Back then, he nearly fell into depravity for the Yue Family''s little girl. But he has never cared about you before!" Kanuo said with a loud laugh.


    Mu Lingxue ignored him. Looking at Ye Yuan, she said faintly, "Looks like, you''re really very surprised."


    Ye Yuan''s heart twinged fiercely!


    He opened his mouth but did not know what he should say.


    What could he say?


    Say that I had actually had Sudden Impulse before, but I never thought of you at all?


    Mu Lingxue smiled.


    The ice-beauty''s smile was peerless and kingdom-toppling. It was as if heaven and earth were melted away.


    The Mu Lingxue at this time gave people a heart-wrenchingly beautiful feeling.


    Below, everyone was completely silent.


    Everyone knew that there was an unclear relationship entanglement between the Heaven Surmounting Divine King and the Spirit Snow Divine King.


    Back then, how many amazingly talented geniuses pursued the Spirit Snow Divine King.


    But she only had feelings for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!


    It was unfortunate that the heartless brook babbled on while the dropping flowers pined for love. The two people did not walk together in the end.


    Time had passed and circumstances have changed; the former Ji Qingyun returned with the domineering attitude of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, but he walked together with Bright Moon City''s proud daughter of heaven.


    This was originally something that followed a logical train of thought as well. No one dared to say anything much.


    After all, it was basically an outcome that happened without any external stimulus between Ji Qingyun and Mu Lingxue.


    Nobody could not have thought that just as the war was about to settle down, Kanuo actually used the Spirit Snow Divine King as a hostage to threaten Ye Yuan!


    Very clearly, it worked!


    "You don''t need to say anything. I''ll just ask you one sentence!" Mu Lingxue said calmly.


    Ye Yuan really did not know what kind of words to use to describe his current emotions.


    If Mu Lingxue let loose a torrent of abuse to his face, he might be able to feel a bit better in his heart.


    But Mu Lingxue was too calm, calm to the point where it made people terrified.


    Mu Lingxue''s every word was like a blade, cutting on his heart blade by blade, making him feel unspeakable agony.


    Only at this moment did Ye Yuan knew, the Deity Realm was not omnipotent!


    At this very moment, even if he grasped Heavenly Dao, he was also that powerless.


    Was there really no Mu Lingxue in his heart?


    No!


    A person was not a stalk of grass or a tree, how could one be heartless?


    Previous life, he sought Dao wholeheartedly, feeling that attachments were a burden.


    Towards Mu Lingxue''s feelings, he was not willing to accept.


    But he did not really have no feelings for Mu Lingxue!


    If not so, how could he refine pills for Mu Lingxue and save her life?


    Later on, Ye Yuan met with a catastrophe and was stranded at the Endless World, but ran into Yue Mengli in an accident arising from many causes.


    This disaster changed Ye Yuan far too much.


    Not only did he embark on the Martial path, but he also opened up his heart and let Yue Mengli walk into his heart.


    The two people experienced life and death together. Yue Mengli also finally moved Ye Yuan.


    And Ye Yuan did not wish to let Yue Mengli down. That was why he would force himself to forget that past relationship.


    Want to blame, could only blame fate for making a mockery out of men; the two people just passed each other by!


    Even so, she did not blame him for anything either.


    She did not even go and find trouble with Yue Mengli. Instead, when Ye Yuan was in danger, she saved Ye Yuan''s life!


    Later on, she disappeared completely in Ye Yuan''s life again.


    From start to end, Ye Yuan had never met her, and did not even get to say a word of thanks!


    The hardest thing to bear was a beauty''s favor!


    Toward Yue Mengli, toward Mu Lingxue, how was it not like so as well?


    Mu Lingxue was the Divine Realm''s well-renowned ice-beauty. Towards anyone, she had an icy-cold attitude.


    But only when facing him, her entire person seemed to be thaw out.


    This was a treatment that nobody had.


    Different from the warmth of Yue Mengli''s love, Mu Lingxue''s love was like her personality; cold and silent!


    Leaving the Medicine King Hall back then, Mu Lingxue never took a step into the Medicine King Hall again, entering closed-seclusion since then.


    All the way until the Medicine King Hall''s change and the news of Ji Qingyun''s demise, his Dao vanishing, came to her attention.


    She exited seclusion!


    What Ye Yuan did not know was that Mu Lingxue had once gone up to the Medicine King Hall by herself and fought with Ji Canglan for several days, returning with serious injuries.


    Later, Mu Lingxue knew that she was not Ji Canglan''s match. Hence, she paid attention to the Medicine King Hall''s movements in secret, before there was that day''s rescue.


    These 30 to 40 years of suffering, only Mu Lingxue herself knew!


    But she had never gone to meet Ye Yuan to recount about everything before.


    She just loved him in solitary in her own way.


    "Y-You say!" Ye Yuan said with his tongue dry.


    These few years, for the sake of Li-er, he practically sealed Mu Lingxue this person from his heart.


    Therefore, even if it was Sudden Impulse, he also did not expect that it was actually related to Mu Lingxue.


    But today, seeing Mu Lingxue, that seal was broken without the least bit of resistance.


    Was it all life, or Mu Lingxue?


    This was a multiple-choice question placed before Ye Yuan!


    Clearly, this multiple choice question had no solution!


    Even if he grasped Heavenly Dao presently, even if he looked down upon the world at present, even if he no longer had rivals in the world, it was also not possible for him to save Mu Lingxue from Kanuo''s hands.


    Because he knew that Kanuo absolutely would not give him a chance.


    Mu Lingxue was the final hidden card that Kanuo specially prepared for Ye Yuan, and it was also a trump card. How could Kanuo possibly give him a chance?


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s dilemma, Mu Lingxue seemed calmer.


    In everyone''s view, she did not have any awareness of being a hostage.


    Although her appearance looked very bleak and forlorn, it gave people a calm and magnanimous feeling.


    The corners of Mu Lingxue''s lips curled up. She smiled.


    It was only to see her lightly open her red lips and slowly recite, "Ice sealing ten thousand miles, a thousand autumn snowfalls!"

 1277 A Storm Overnight Thaws It All Away!

    "Lingxue, I ��"


    This poem was the last sentence Mu Lingxue said to Ye Yuan before she left the Medicine King Hall back then.


    Ice sealing ten thousand miles, a thousand autumn snowfalls, seemed like it was just a grandiose snow-covered landscape.


    Actually, it was Mu Lingxue questioning Ye Yuan.


    Of course, it was also a sentence that expressed her true feelings.


    Back then, she used this sentence to force Ye Yuan to pour his heart out.


    But Ye Yuan fell silent.


    He did not give a response!


    Mu Lingxue smiled mournfully at that time, and left abruptly with a flick of her sleeves, and never turned her head back again.


    The meaning of Mu Lingxue''s sentence was: if you don''t accept my true feelings, then my heart shall be locked in ice henceforth, and never open my heart for anyone again.


    In this life, the door to my heart would only open for you!


    Ye Yuan''s silence made Mu Lingxue heartbroken to the extreme. She returned to the Snowgod Palace from then and sealed off the gates.


    Under this scene presently, Mu Lingxue asked this sentence once more!


    "If you feel troubled, you can still choose to be silent," Mu Lingxue still said with a faint smile.


    "Haha, you, little girl, are really an infatuated one! It''s too bad that the heartless brook babbles on while the dropping flowers pine for love! You''ve done so much for him, but he doesn''t appreciate the favor at all. Presumably, even your life or death, he won''t care either!" Kanuo said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said with seething killing intent, "Kanuo, if you dare to touch a hair of hers, this young master will make you never reincarnate for all of eternity!"


    Kanuo burst into laughter and said, "Is that so? What if I were to make her never to reincarnate for all of eternity?"


    Finished talking, an additional bone awl suddenly appeared in Kanuo''s hand and plunged straight into Mu Lingxue''s chest.


    "Ugh ��"


    A heart-piercing pain spread throughout Mu Lingxue''s entire body!


    Mu Lingxue''s brows furrowed tightly, the originally already deathly pale face became even more without a trace of blood. But she stubbornly did not cry out in pain.


    "Lingxue!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    "Heh heh, the Soul Locking Nail''s prowess, you should know," said Kanuo, as he looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile.


    The Soul Locking Nail''s prowess, Ye Yuan naturally knew it!


    It was able to cause irreversible damage to the divine soul. Furthermore, this kind of damage was continuous!


    It would torment the martial artist''s divine soul unceasingly until the divine soul was destroyed.


    One could imagine just how much torment Mu Lingxue was currently suffering at this time.


    Ye Yuan''s face was grim to the extreme, and he said in a solemn voice, "What the hell do you want?"


    Kanuo said with a sinister smile, "You die, or she dies!"


    "Ji Qingyun, you �� haven''t answered me!" Mu Lingxue said feebly.


    This nail ramming down, Mu Lingxue''s vitality was seriously injured. But her two eyes stared at Ye Yuan even more incisively.


    Ye Yuan''s mind trembled, and he blurted out, "A storm overnight thaws it all away! Lingxue, sorry, it is I who let you down ��"


    Mu Lingxue''s chest heaved unsteadily. Even breathing became very difficult.


    However, this sentence of Ye Yuan''s was like the warm sun in winter, instantly thawing her long already frozen heart.


    She had never been so happy before!


    The human race martial artists were all besotted by this smile of hers.


    At this moment, they finally understood what was called toppling all life!


    Even though they all knew that this smile only belonged to the Heaven Surmounting Divine King.


    "With this sentence of yours, it''s enough!" Mu Lingxue said with a smile.


    "Haha, what a fine pair of cruel fated mandarin ducks, parted in life and separated in death! It''s too bad that you guys have no chance to continue your former destiny anymore! Ye Yuan, I''m only giving you three breaths of time. Every three breaths that pass, I''ll drive a Soul Locking Nail into her body, now �� the countdown starts!" Kanuo said and burst into laughter.


    Ye Yuan''s chest was almost exploding. He really did not know how to choose.


    What was certain that upon his death, the Divine Realm would no longer have hope.


    But, to make him helplessly watch Mu Lingxue be subjected to all kinds of torment and die, how could he do it?


    This �� was an unsolvable question in the first place!


    "Ye Yuan, I hope that you can grow to a ripe old age with her! With this sentence of yours, Lingxue has no regrets in death!"


    Suddenly, Mu Lingxue incomprehensibly gave this sentence.


    In her eyes was full of tenderness, making Ye Yuan feel like a knife was being twisted in his heart.


    Only then did Ye Yuan know that Mu Lingxue was really very easy to satisfy.


    The moment Kanuo heart, he let out a wild laugh and said, "Die? In front of this deity, you can''t die �� as you please! Your essence energy is sealed, divine essence is locked, use what to die? Hahaha ��"


    Mu Lingxue''s eyes finally landed on Kanuo, but it was icy-cold.


    "Kanuo, you captured me to threaten Qingyun. Actually, you didn''t know that this was also what I hoped for! If not for the sake of waiting until today, how could I give you this opportunity?"


    Mu Lingxue gave a cold laugh. A freezing to the extreme aura emitted from her body.


    This freezing to the extreme aura instantly swept across the entire stretch of heaven and earth!


    The previous moment, it was still clear skies for ten thousand miles. The next instant, it was overcast with dark clouds.


    Very soon, goose feather-like heavy snow fell.


    "Lunatic! You mad woman! You �� How did you do it?"


    Kanuo''s voice was filled with terror as if the end of the world had arrived.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, seemingly remembering something!


    ...


    "Ye Yuan, do you know what the Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian''s most powerful move is?"


    "The Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian is just a type of spirit physique. It''s also not a cultivation method or martial technique, what strongest move can there be still?"


    "Of course! This is the move recorded in the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, it''s name is called Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles! Upon unleashing this move, within ten thousand miles will turn into an ice plain, snow falling in the sky for three years! Even peak Void Mystic powerhouses will also be frozen immediately!"


    "So strong? Then isn''t your Snowgod Palace the true number one under the heavens? But why have I never heard of it before?"


    "Because utilizing this move requires reversing the meridians and sacrificing the divine soul. It''s a mutual destruction move! If you don''t promise me, I''ll use this move and perish together with you!"


    "Huhu, what kind of joke is this?"


    "I''m not joking with you! Ji Qingyun, I''ll gift you a poem. If you can''t match with the second half, I''ll launch this move right now! Ice sealing ten thousand miles, a thousand autumn snowfalls!"


    "..."


    Mu Lingxue naturally did not unleash this move. She left.


    Ye Yuan thought that she was joking all along, thinking that she only came up with this strategy in order to force himself.


    He did not expect that she really unleashed it!


    There really was this move!


    A terrifying freezing air reverberated throughout heaven and earth; it was as if it could make time and space freeze.


    The power of this move was truly very terrifying.


    If it were before, this move was sufficient to freeze Ye Yuan to death.


    But she knew that Ye Yuan, who had already become the number one person through the ages, did not care about this bit of cold air!


    Her goal was suicide!


    She used this move to break through Kanuo''s restrictions, destroying this trump card in Kanuo''s hand!


    "Lingxue, stop! Quickly stop!"


    Ye Yuan shouted until his throat hoarse, resounding through the clouds.


    Ye Yuan''s figure instantly appeared beside Mu Lingxue, holding her in his arms.


    When Kanuo saw this scene, his expression changed several times.


    His figure moved; he sped away toward the horizon!


    But right at this moment, a terrifying power of law descended from the sky, like a cage, thoroughly confining him.


    Kanuo''s figure abruptly came to a stop. A shrill and miserable scream sounded out.

 1278 Spiritual Consciousness Not Extinguishing

    Kanuo''s howl was akin to slaughtering a pig, divulging terror and despair.


    This power of Heavenly Dao was not what he could withstand at all.


    Ye Yuan did not kill him; he just shackled Kanuo, making him unable to move.


    "Noisy!"


    Hearing that pig slaughtering-like howl, Ye Yuan was extremely irritated in his heart and fired out an arc of light with a wave of a hand.


    Boom!


    Kanuo''s voice immediately went mute and could not emit any sound.


    His physical body directly collapsed under this blow, leaving behind only a cloud of black gas.


    The black gas was also dim without light under this blow, almost dissipating.


    Now, it was finally quiet.


    Ye Yuan directly fired his remaining ball of vitality into Mu Lingxue''s body.


    But there was not a hint of color.


    Mu Lingxue''s aura was still in the midst of dissipating.


    Ye Yuan shed tears as he poured colossal amounts of soul force as well as divine essence into Mu Lingxue''s body.


    But this was still unable to stop the elapsing of Mu Lingxue''s life.


    Drip �� Drip ��


    Ye Yuan cast spells as he cried tears. Tears dripped onto Mu Lingxue''s face.


    In his embrace, Mu Lingxue''s eyes were already gradually lax. But one could tell that she did not have any regrets.


    On the contrary, a faint smile hung on her face, appearing very satisfied.


    "Your �� Your dream �� finally came true, congratulations."


    One sentence, it virtually exhausted all of her strength.


    She knew that Ye Yuan''s lifelong pursuit was the Alchemy God Realm.


    At present, Ye Yuan stepped into Deity Realm. This dream naturally came true as well.


    To be able to witness this scene, and also obtain Ye Yuan''s answer, and even saw Ye Yuan''s true sentiments pour out for her, she �� had nothing to be dissatisfied with.


    This move, Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, was a true mutual destruction.


    Reversing the meridians, was the maximum degree of damage to a martial artist''s bodily functions.


    What was even more terrifying was sacrificing the divine soul!


    Once the divine soul was wiped out, there would no longer be this person in the world!


    Once this move was unleashed, it would be irreversible, all the way until one''s life was exhausted!


    Even though Ye Yuan grasped Heavenly Dao, he was not omnipotent.


    Facing the elapsing of life, he also appeared so powerless.


    No matter what methods he used, he was unable to stop the elapsing of Mu Lingxue''s life.


    "Don''t speak anymore! You fool! Why did you have to do this?! Don''t die! You can''t die! I �� My promise hasn''t been fulfilled yet!" Ye Yuan''s heart ached to the extreme.


    Mu Lingxue opened her mouth, wanting to speak. But she already could not say anything.


    Color was fading frenziedly from that stunning face. Her vital functions were also rapidly dissipating.


    Her divine soul was already not left with much and could not support her to talk anymore.


    Seeing this scene, the human race powerhouses were all extremely moved.


    Quite a number of people already had their faces covered in tears.


    "Sigh, stubborn boy! Stubborn boy!"


    On Fang Tian''s face, tears were already flowing from aged eyes.


    Mu Lingxue''s deep love deeply shook him.


    To be able to have such a soul mate was Ye Yuan''s blessing.


    But it turned into such an ending.


    "The Spirit Snow Divine King''s feelings touched the ninth heaven, to be so decisive for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King! She saved the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, and even saved the entire Divine Realm!"


    "The Spirit Snow Divine King''s feelings for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King, it is known by all in the Divine Realm! She waited silently for many years, just to wait for the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s one sentence, I ��" While talking, that person already choked up.


    "The Spirit Snow Divine King is our benefactor! She saved all life under the heavens! Let''s pray for her together!"


    This suggestion immediately obtained everyone''s recognition.


    Thud, thud ��


    One set in motion a bunch, a bunch spurred on a large swath.


    The human race martial artists actually knelt down collectively.


    "Spirit Snow Divine King, please take care!"


    "Spirit Snow Divine King, please take care!"


    "Spirit Snow Divine King, please take care!"


    ...


    The tumultuous voices reverberated throughout the firmament, echoing through the entire firmament.


    Ye Yuan shouted tremblingly, "Lingxue, did you hear that? Not just me, everyone in the Divine Realm, they all don''t wish for you to leave! You �� You can''t die!"


    However, no matter how he shouted, Mu Lingxue was already unable to hear his voice anymore.


    She slowly shut her eyes, looking like a peaceful sleeping beauty.


    Ye Yuan exhausted all of his means and was also unable to salvage her divine soul from collapsing.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth, picked Mu Lingxue up, and immediately vanished in everyone''s line of sight.


    When he appeared again, he already crossed hundreds of millions of miles and arrived in the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    The him who grasped Heavenly Dao could travel unhindered within this Immortal Grove Region!


    "Senior, your means are exceedingly formidable! Please save her!"


    Ye Yuan placed Mu Lingxue flat on the ground and directly knelt down toward Kunwu.


    Kunwu gave Mu Lingxue a glance and said with a sigh, "You researched the divine soul path quite deeply and should know that sacrificing the divine soul is unsalvageable! Forget about me, even if Immortal Grove that old fart revives, he can''t save her either."


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, and he said in disbelief, "How �� How can that be? I-Isn''t he the person who created this world?"


    Kunwu said, "Creating the world doesn''t mean being able to control everything in the world! Humans are the most magical species in this world! Even if he created the Immortal Grove World''s humans, he also can''t control their birth, old-age, illness, and death. His Heavenly Dao was also merely comprehended. It''s just an incomplete Heavenly Dao, that''s all. After creating this world, everything was all Heavenly Dao operating on its own."


    Crack! Crack!


    Ye Yuan''s finger joints cracked, his heart aching until he was unable to breathe.


    This outcome, he was really unable to accept it.


    "Could �� Could it be that there''s really no way?" Ye Yuan said unwillingly.


    Kunwu said, "Not that there''s no way; it''s just �� too difficult, too difficult!"


    When saying the ''too difficult'' at the back, Kunwu involuntarily aggravated his tone.


    It could be seen the degree of this method''s difficulty.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was undoubtedly a heavenly melody!


    He looked at Kunwu with an excited look and said, "Senior, please advise! No matter how difficult, Ye Yuan has to accomplish it too!"


    Kunwu said with a smile, "Something that even Immortal Grove couldn''t accomplish, can you do it?"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, but his eyes revealed a determined look very quickly, and he said, "Senior, please advise!"


    Kunwu sighed and said, "No harm in telling you. But �� the likelihood of you accomplishing it is negligible! Before that, I''ll cast a secret art first. It can protect a trace of her spiritual consciousness from extinguishing. As for the matters later, it will depend on you."


    Ye Yuan''s face revealed a look of wild ecstasy, and he hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Senior!"


    Ye Yuan retreated. Kunwu casually fired out nine streaks of light, inserting around Mu Lingxue.


    Ye Yuan was startled, aware that those were nine branches of Kunwu Divine Wood.


    This thing was equivalent to a part of Kunwu''s body, incomparably precious.


    First was the Kunwu Flower, then it was Kunwu Branches. This favor, Ye Yuan remembered it firmly in his heart.


    Kunwu recited a spell. Those nine tree branches gave off a dazzling light, assimilating into Mu Lingxue''s soul.


    Mu Lingxue did not react in the slightest. But Ye Yuan could sense that her last trace of divine soul was finally preserved!

 1279 Heavenspan World!

    "Old Fart Dustless, this kid already grasped control of Heavenly Dao. Until when are you planning to hole up like a turtle?" Kunwu suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that, somewhat uncertain what it meant. Because Kunwu said it to him.


    Suddenly, a faint gray shadow appeared in front of the two. It was an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.


    The old man''s figure was very faint, faint until it was about the same as a transparent person.


    "You piece of wood. You clearly know that I''m very weak right now, still want to call me out!" Dustless smiled as he scolded.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Not that I wanted to call you out, it''s him who requires your help!"


    Dustless said with a bitter smile, "You, oh you, alright then. Since it''s his matters, it''s not up to this old man to turn it down either!"


    While talking, Dustless lightly swept at Mu Lingxue. A surge of mysterious power instantly wrapped her up.


    Following that, Mu Lingxue turned into an arc of flowing light, and actually entered Ye Yuan''s glabella.


    This scene made Ye Yuan jump in fright.


    Mu Lingxue actually entered inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    "Senior, this ��" Ye Yuan said in wonder.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Old Fart Dustless is the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s artifact spirit. That move of mine can only preserve a trace of that lass''s spiritual consciousness from extinguishing. But it can''t last for a long time either. Want to maintain her life force, you must borrow the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s power."


    Ye Yuan''s shock was by no means insignificant. He did not think that this old man was actually the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s artifact spirit!


    He hurriedly gave a bow toward Dustless and said, "Please, Senior!"


    Ye Yuan could sense that Dustless''s condition was not very good. Taking Mu Lingxue''s physical body into the Soul Suppressing Pearl already expended considerable amounts of his strength.


    Dustless smiled and said, "You''re the Soul Suppressing Pearl new master. This is naturally what I should do. Moreover, without you, I wouldn''t be able to reawaken as well. It''s just that my current state is very unstable. Maintaining that little lass''s life force still requires the supplementation of soul force."


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of that Deathsoul Tree and Li Gui. Could it be that that Deathsoul Tree and Li Gui were actually devoured by this old man before his eyes?


    This idea gave Ye Yuan a fright.


    Someone as powerful as the Deathsoul Tree was actually devoured by the Soul Suppressing Pearl so effortlessly?


    "The soul force supplementation that Senior talked about, could it be �� devouring divine souls?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Dustless smiled and said, "That''s right! The Immortal Grove Region''s lifeforms, their soul force is too weak and is completely insufficient to let me recover. Only a fellow like the Deathsoul Tree can barely manage to satisfy my appetite."


    Ye Yuan was speechless for a while when he heard. The Deathsoul Tree was already an invincible existence in the Divine Realm. It was actually just barely able to satisfy his appetite!


    But thinking about it, Dustless only recovered this tiny bit after gobbling up the Deathsoul Tree, he was also relieved.


    The artifact spirit of an empyrean spirit treasure was not what he could conjecture.


    "The Soul Suppressing Pearl is a divine soul defensive type empyrean spirit treasure. It''s power is boundless! If Old Fart Dustless can recover to his peak state, even if a heavenly empyrean arrives in person, they won''t be able to attack your divine soul either! This kind of empyrean spirit treasure, even in the Heavenspan World, it''s also exceedingly rare!"


    Clearly, Kunwu held the Soul Suppressing Pearl in very high esteem.


    But Dustless said with a smile, "In my current state, I can at most only withstand the divine soul attacks of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. Any stronger and I''d probably have to fall into slumber again."


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "That Deathsoul Tree ��"


    "The Deathsoul Tree was born in the Immortal Grove Region, while I''m Immortal Grove''s empyrean spirit treasure. No matter how strong he is, he can''t escape the palm of my hands either! Moreover �� he was imprisoned in this God-forbidden region by this old man in the first place, originally planning on devouring him. The result was �� I fell asleep myself first," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard, not expecting that there was actually still such a thing.


    Messing around for so long, this Deathsoul Tree was actually just a nourishment that the Soul Suppressing Pearl was rearing in a pen!


    No wonder he cursed that old fart so fervently. Turned out that it was actually Dustless.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists towards Kunwu and said, "Senior, I wonder what the method to save Lingxue is?"


    What he was most concerned about right now was still this.


    Without a doubt, the method to save Mu Lingxue was definitely in the world outside.


    Something that even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove could not accomplish, it could be imagined how difficult that was!


    This path was even more densely covered with thorns than his road of revenge.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "You don''t be anxious first. Since you''re going to the Heavenspan World, I''ll tell you about the Heavenspan World''s situation first. Then you consider whether or go or not."


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, please say!"


    Kunwu nodded his head and said, "Heavenspan World and the Immortal Grove Region are two totally different concepts! It''s not a higher-level space compared to the Immortal Grove Region, but a world that existed since time immemorial! The reason why it''s called Heavenspan World is that there''s a divine mountain there called Heavenspan Mountain! In the Heavenspan World, your so-called Deity Realm is only the starting point!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. The meaning in Kunwu''s words was that he, this existence that stood at the very summit of the Immortal Grove Region, was only the most ordinary person if he went there!


    Just like �� a mortal!


    But toward the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan still yearned for it more.


    He very much wanted to see just how strong that world''s powerhouses are!


    "Heavenspan World? Heavenspan Mountain? Senior, then what kind of existence is Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove in the Heavenspan World?" Ye Yuan muttered.


    Kunwu smiled and said, "Deity Realm has a total of six major realms, namely: Grotto Profound Deity Realm, Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, Origin Deity Realm, Divine Lord Realm, Celestial Deity Realm, as well as True God Realm! Above True God Realm is the Heavenly Empyrean Realm! Heavenly Empyreans are also major power-class existences in the Heavenspan World, towering above Deity Realm! And above Heavenly Empyrean Realm, there''s even Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor, two great realms! The true masters of the Heavenspan World are the Dao Ancestors!"


    Ye Yuan had his breath taken away from listening to it. He did not expect that the Deity Realm actually still had so many realms.


    Empyrean in his eyes is already an existence too lofty beyond reach. He did not expect that above heavenly empyrean, there were actually still even higher realms!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Kunwu smiled and said, "Don''t have that sort of unrealistic ideas anymore! The realm of Dao Ancestor is not what you can imagine! The Heavenspan World only has nine Dao Ancestors. They are all paramount existences who obtained the recognition of a law, and they have already existed for countless billions of years! They are invincible existences! A law commanding recognition of a Dao Ancestor, unless they die, otherwise, even if your talent is even more heaven-defying than the Dao Ancestor''s, it''s also impossible to reach their realm!"


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath when he heard that and said in horror, "There''s actually still such a thing?"


    In Ye Yuan''s understanding, as long as talent was sufficient, as long as effort was enough, one could step foot in a supreme realm one day.


    But his way of thinking did not seem to work in the Heavenspan World.


    Only when a Dao Ancestor died would a law become vacant.


    But a Dao Ancestor was a powerhouse standing at the summit of the entire Heavenspan World. Who could make them fall?


    Unless they killed each other!


    But Kunwu said that they had already existed for god knows how many billions of years. This indicated that neither one of them could do anything to the others.


    Hence, this became a paradox!


    What Kunwu said was right, even if your talent was any more heaven-defying, it was also impossible to become a Dao Ancestor.


    Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan''s expression and smiled again as he said, "I''ve said, this isn''t a thing that you should consider now. What you have to consider now is how to pass through the turbulent spatial flow!"

 1280 Tears of Life!

    "Spatial turbulent flow?" Ye Yuan had a bewildered look, not sure what it meant.


    "An empyrean world is a sealed-off small world that is incompatible with the Heavenspan World. In an empyrean world, even if one cultivates to True God Realm, they will also be unable to ascend to the Heavenspan World! Because every empyrean world has a World Locking Gate! This World Locking Gate cuts off the empyrean world and the Heavenspan World. In between, is endless spatial turbulent flow," Kunwu said.


    Ye Yuan was startled in his heart and said, "Then the Deity Realm powerhouses 100 thousand years ago, didn''t they all pass through the World Locking Gate, and entered the Heavenspan World?"


    A hint of disdain flashed across the corners of Kunwu''s mouth, and he said, "They went out through the World Locking Gate. As for how many were able to reach the Heavenspan World, there''s no way of knowing."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes became wide-saucers, finally understanding Kunwu''s meaning.


    This turbulent spatial flow was too terrifying!


    The Deity Realm powerhouses that left the Immortal Grove Region 100 thousand years ago were at least no less than a hundred people.


    Even though the Deity Realm had declined, there were definitely Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm existences among them.


    Such a powerful lineup, but Kunwu used ''how many'' this quantifying term to describe it. It could be seen how many people would die in the turbulent spatial flow!


    One had to know that those Deity Realm powerhouses were all the Immortal Grove Region''s apex existences!


    Those who survived in this turbulent spatial flow was actually not even one-tenth!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Kunwu knew that Ye Yuan understood and said with a smile, "Now, you still want to go to the Heavenspan World?"


    A hint of viciousness flashed across in Ye Yuan''s gaze, and he said, "Even if this turbulent spatial flow is any more terrifying, it''s also not as terrifying as losing Lingxue! The Heavenspan World, I must go and brave it! Senior, please point out the right path!"


    Kunwu laughed in spite of himself and said, "Truly an infatuated one! But this turbulent spatial flow is just the first test that you have to face! The second condition is the truly difficult one!"


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, please say!"


    Kunwu was also solemn as he said, "Legends have it that on the Heavenspan Mountain, there''s a kind of spring water called Tears of Life. In the legends, this Tears of Life flows down from the top of the Heavenspan Mountain. As long as one consumes a drop, even if they only have a trace of spiritual consciousness existing, they can come back to life too! It''s rumored that very, very long ago, somebody had once found this Tears of Life before. But that''s just a rumor. Nobody has really found it before. At least, with Immortal Grove''s realm, he had never seen it before."


    Hearing Kunwu said so, Ye Yuan also heaved a sigh in relief.


    "Senior, even if this junior has to dig three feet deep into the Heavenspan Mountain, I must also find this Tears of Life!" Ye Yuan said firmly


    Heaven rewards the faithful. If there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up!


    He believed that there would come a day where he could find this Tears of Life.


    It was just that his words made Kunwu and Dustless laugh at the same time.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look, unsure what was going on.


    Dustless smiled lightly and said, "Kid, you''re really an ignoramus who''s fearless! That Heaven Passage Mountain isn''t what you can dig as you like! That''s the Heavenspan World''s Dao enlightening holy land! Only when you reach the Divine Lord Realm and open up an inner world, can you step onto the Heavenspan Mountain! Otherwise, you''ll be crushed into meat paste by the Heavenspan Mountain''s power of laws! And Divine Lord Realm powerhouses can only climb up 10 miles. Further up, only by reaching Celestial Deity Realm, can one set foot on it. The things that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove haven''t seen are at least above 10 thousand miles! Even if you can cultivate to the Heavenly Empyrean Realm, no idea what year it will be already!"


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath when he heard. Only then did he know this Heavenspan Mountain''s extraordinariness.


    He was still curious before, why the world outside would be named after a mountain. It turned out that it was actually this reason.


    Kunwu added, "I forgot to tell you, the nine great Dao Ancestors gained enlightenment on Dao above a million miles on the Heavenspan Mountain, and from there, obtained the recognition of a law, becoming a Dao Ancestor! Many people all speculated, if there''s really Tears of Life, it''s very likely above a million miles! But how much assurance do you feel you have in cultivating to become a Dao Ancestor?"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, finally knowing why Kunwu said that it was virtually impossible!


    Because wanting to become a new Dao Ancestor, there must be an old Dao Ancestor who passed away!


    This difficulty was simply comparable to ascending to heaven.


    Ye Yuan''s expression instantly became incomparably ugly. He suddenly discovered that Kunwu saying so much was equivalent to wasting his breath.


    "Senior, this �� Could it be that there''s no other way?" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Kunwu gave him a glance and said with a nod, "There are two more ways!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, not expecting that Kunwu actually said two more ways all of a sudden!


    "Senior, please say!" A glimmer of hope could be seen in Ye Yuan''s eyes again.


    Kunwu let out a sigh and said, "The first method is to invite one of the Dao Ancestors to take action, and have him help look for the Tears of Life! The second method is to invite the Life Dao Ancestor to take action! What he obtained was the recognition of Life Laws. If he''s willing to take action, he should be able to save this lass. Of course, this is just my conjecture! In the Heavenspan World, the strongest person that one is able to see is also just Heavenly Emperor. Dao Ancestors have already not appeared for goodness knows how many years. Nobody had seen them before at all."


    Ye Yuan''s mind was in a mess. Saying these words was pretty much the same as not saying.


    Summing these three methods up only had one point, that was that he must have a Dao Ancestor take action, or reach the realm of Dao Ancestor.


    This �� was virtually something impossible.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s absent-minded look, Kunwu and Dustless exchanged a glance and was also helpless.


    They could see through Ye Yuan''s feelings for Mu Lingxue. But, wanting to save a person who only had a trace of spiritual consciousness remaining, this difficulty was too great.


    "Give up. This matter to you is simply impossible! In fact, in my opinion, the likelihood of you passing through the turbulent spatial flow is virtually zero! Stay in the Immortal Grove Region to be your controller well!" Kunwu let out a sigh and said.


    After a long time, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, his emotions seemed to have calmed down considerably.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Kunwu and Dustless also let out a sigh in relief at the same time.


    If Ye Yuan died in the turbulent spatial flow, the Immortal Grove Region would become a masterless empyrean world again.


    Before long, it would thoroughly decline and wither away.


    Their relationship with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was not shallow, and they were naturally unwilling to see this kind of thing happen.


    "Senior, please tell me the way to pass through the World Locking Gate!" Ye Yuan said with a resolute gaze.


    Kunwu, the two of them, were greatly surprised. They even thought that they heard wrongly.


    They already stated the pros and cons very clearly. But Ye Yuan was still obstinately stuck in a delusion.


    For a girl, taking a completely impossible path, and might have the possibility of losing his life at any moment, this was simply incomprehensible.


    The powerhouses of Heavenspan World were not what an empyrean world''s ant could be presumptuous enough to surmise!


    Even if Ye Yuan controlled the Immortal Grove Region, he was still the bottommost-level existence in the Heavenspan World!


    Even if Ye Yuan was amazingly talented in the Immortal Grove Region, reaching the Heavenspan World, even a dragon had to coil up too!


    "You have to think carefully!" Kunwu said in a deep voice.


    Ye Yuan''s expression was a never before seen determination. He nodded and said, "I''ve thought of it very clearly! If I must become a Dao Ancestor to save Lingxue, then I''ll become the Heavenspan World''s tenth Dao Ancestor!"Unfortunately, the term used means several/single digit, but when translated to English, I can only use ''how many.'' Can''t exactly use ''several.'' So actually, it was a single-digit number of people that were able to reach the Heavenspan World.

 1281 Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang

    "Wildly arrogant!"


    "Ignorant!"


    Kunwu and Dustless virtually said it in unison.


    This kind of word could only be spoken by ignorant people.


    In the Heavenspan World, gifted powerhouses would boast exaggeratedly, saying that they could achieve Heavenly Empyrean, even Heavenly Emperor.


    But, even for Heavenly Emperors, they also never dared to blow this kind of trumpet, about becoming a Dao Ancestor!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was an unprecedented firm, and he said lightly, "Ignorant is fine as well! Wildly arrogant also works! In this life, if I can''t save Lingxue, I''m willing to sink into depravity for all ages!"


    Kunwu''s emotions finally calmed down a little. He was indeed given a fright by Ye Yuan''s words earlier.


    Because in the Heavenspan World, Dao Ancestor this realm was more like a totem.


    The ones active in front of the public were only Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Empyreans.


    But at this time, Kunwu still felt Ye Yuan''s powerful determination.


    The resolve to put everything on the line to save his beloved!


    "Forget it, you humans'' feelings, I''m unable to understand. Since you want to seek death, then I''ll tell you! The key to unlocking the World Locking Gate are the Four Symbols Spirits!" Kunwu said and heaved a sigh.


    Ye Yuan was stunned. Only then did he understand the objective of Kanuo capturing the spirit of the white tiger back then. It was actually to unlock the World Locking Gate!


    This way, back then when the dragon clan''s old patriarch brought the Sacred Dragon Token and left the dragon clan, as well as Long Zhan''s departure, it was probably all related to the World Locking Gate.


    It was just that, don''t know if they passed through the turbulent spatial flow or not.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s guidance! This junior still has some matters to deal with, and will take my leave first!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, returning to the dragon clan''s sky once more.


    Kanuo was still in Ye Yuan''s imprisonment.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word and directly nailed a Soul Locking Nail onto Kanuo''s body.


    "HOWWLLL!"


    A scream that sounded like ghosts wailing and wolves howling reverberated throughout heaven and earth, making everyone get goosebumps.


    "No idea where Heaven Surmounting Divine King went to previously either. But his mood seems to be a lot better."


    "The Spirit Snow Divine King is gone. Maybe the Heaven Surmounting Divine King really has a way to save her! Sigh, hope that the Spirit Snow Divine King is fine."


    "No matter what, that Kanuo is dead for sure. Now, it''s time for him to suffer the wrath of the Heaven Surmounting Divine King!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan did not say anything at all. He just nailed one Soul Locking Nail after another onto that cloud of black gas.


    These Soul Locking Nails were all pulled off from Mu Lingxue''s body.


    This cloud of black gas was similar to the fiend race''s divine soul. It was just that this kind of divine soul was exceedingly difficult to be killed.


    Even though Kanuo was already very weak currently, these Soul Locking Nails still could not kill Kanuo.


    However, it was plenty to make him wish he was dead.


    "The pain that Lingxue suffered, I hope that you can savor it well for a bit," Ye Yuan took his time and said.


    Ye Yuan could maneuver the power of Heavenly Dao. Wanting to kill Kanuo was seriously too easy.


    But how could killing him directly vent the hatred in his heart?


    At present, the human race''s territory was virtually already a piece of scorched earth.


    The humans who died in this war numbered more than billions.


    All of these were caused by Kanuo single-handedly!


    Including the grudge of murdering his father, Mu Lingxue on the brink of death was also Kanuo''s ''meritorious deed.''


    Ye Yuan''s killing intent towards him could practically burst through the clouds.


    If Kanuo had ten thousand lives, Ye Yuan would definitely kill him ten thousand times!


    "Ahh! Ye Yuan, spare me! I �� I can''t take it anymore! Ahh ��"


    Kanuo howled like a pig being slaughtered and finally could not bear it anymore, opening his mouth and begging Ye Yuan for mercy.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were cold. Toward Kanuo, he only had a monstrous hatred, without a shred of compassion.


    "The pain that you suffered is not yet one ten-thousandth of Lingxue''s, just this and you can''t stand it already? Rest assured, this is just the beginning. Before I leave the Immortal Grove Region, I''ll make you experience what is called true despair!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Ye Yuan researched greatly into the divine soul path in the first place. Regarding methods of torturing people, he could be said to have it at his fingertips.


    Now, he stepped into the Deity Realm and took control of Heavenly Dao. Dealing with Kanuo, he could switch things up and play for as long as several years.


    It was just that normally, facing the enemy, he was disdainful to do so, that was all.


    But toward Kanuo, it was an exception!


    The crimes that Kanuo committed were too numerous to be recorded.


    He must suffer endless agony and die.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, that cloud of black gas gave off a tremble, terrified to the extreme.


    "Ye Yuan, I �� I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong! Ahhh ��"


    "Since you know that you were wrong, then you have to make atonement. Now �� is the time where you atone for your crimes." Ye Yuan said lightly.


    "You �� You �� You''ll die a horrible death! Do you think that by breaking through to the Deity Realm, you can pass through the turbulent spatial flow? Ahh, ahhh �� You''re alone. It �� it''s impossible to pass through the turbulent spatial flow! You''re dead for sure! Ahh, ahhh ��"


    "That I don''t need you to worry about. Before that, you''d definitely be dead already!"


    Ye Yuan lightly threw down a sentence, but turned around and walked to another place, leaving Kanuo there howling miserably.


    He already set up various means, taking turns one by one, it would make Kanuo ecstatic to the extreme until he wished he was dead.


    Not far away from Kanuo, a beautiful woman was similarly shackled in the air.


    This person was naturally Yue Ji.


    Compared to Kanuo, Yue Ji''s treatment was much better. It was merely being imprisoned.


    Seeing Ye Yuan walk in, a thick look of fear revealed in Yue Ji''s eyes.


    She completely did not expect that this young man actually inherited this dilapidated world, taking control of Heavenly Dao!


    Even if Ye Yuan really broke through to Deity Realm, by relying on the Fiendsource Bead, it was also not possible for Kanuo to be defeated so thoroughly.


    But, under the Heavenly Dao, they did not have the least bit of strength to resist at all.


    "Kanuo''s outcome, you saw it. Say the purpose of you guys coming here, I can give you all a quick death," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Under Ye Yuan''s means, they could not even commit suicide.


    Hence, granting Yue Ji death was already the greatest grace to her.


    That extremely pitiful voice of Kanuo''s still entered Yue Ji''s ears repeatedly.


    Yue Ji''s face changed, falling silent.


    Ye Yuan did not urge either, quietly waiting for Yue Ji to open her mouth.


    He knew that Yue Ji would definitely capitulate.


    Sure enough, before long, Yue Ji opened her mouth.


    "We''re here for those two empyrean spirit treasures in your hands. Of course, we were even planning on cultivating a demonic skill with the help of the living creatures here, and break through to the Divine Lord Realm!" Yue Ji said.


    When saying these, she secretly looked to size up Ye Yuan, fearful that he would suddenly rampage.


    However, Ye Yuan did not reveal any expression on his face. She could not guess what Ye Yuan was thinking at all.


    "Who sent you all here?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yue Ji''s gaze turned intent, and she said, "It �� It was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang!"


    The expression on Ye Yuan''s face finally had a hint of change.


    He never would have thought that behind Kanuo and Yue Ji, was actually a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, that was a powerhouse at the very apex of the Heavenspan World.


    Originally, Ye Yuan was still planning on finding their main instigator behind the scenes. After he cultivated to a certain realm, he would then take revenge.


    Looks like now, he had to give the matter further considerations.


    "There''s enmity between Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang?" Ye Yuan asked again.

 1282 An Ant Trying to Topple a Tree

    Yue Ji nodded her head and said, "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was a fiend race newly-ascended Heavenly Emperor a million years ago. Back then, he was an empyrean powerhouse at the height of his popularity along with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and several others. They all had extremely high hopes of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. And among them, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had been enemies for a long time already. After that, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang obtained a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit in a heavenly emperor world, and broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm first."


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said, "It was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang who killed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove? And then sent you all here to seize treasures?"


    Yue Ji gave a bitter laugh and said, "In the eyes of a heavenly emperor, we''re merely ants. We haven''t even reached the Divine Lord Realm, so how can we possibly reach Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang''s level? Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was also not killed by Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang. His means were exceedingly formidable, even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse found it difficult to kill him too! Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang just severely wounded him. As for who killed him, it''s unknown."


    From Yue Ji''s words, Ye Yuan had a preliminary impression of the Heavenspan World as well.


    The Heavenspan World was similarly a world filled with slaughter and struggles. In fact, it might be even more brutal than the Immortal Grove Region.


    Ye Yuan even suspected that because Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was too severely injured, he was killed by some thieves and the likes who were coveting treasures.


    Except that had nothing much to do with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Ye Yuan knew very little about Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and was far from talking about love or hate.


    The Immortal Grove Region choosing himself was just a kind of instinctive protection towards the Heavenly Dao itself. It just thought that he could take on the responsibility.


    Putting it bluntly, it was a kind of mutual exploitation.


    While he did not fail to live up to the Heavenly Dao''s expectations either, achieving his present realm.


    This kind of inheritance was different from Long Teng''s inheritance. Ye Yuan did not have the obligation to go and help him take revenge.


    But Kanuo and Yue Ji were sent by Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, so that was different.


    Disregarding that he was Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, even if he was Dao Ancestor Jiu Shang, Ye Yuan would definitely eradicate him too!


    It was just that looking at it now, the hope was very slim.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, waiting for Yue Ji to continue talking.


    "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had always coveted Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s Soul Suppressing Pearl and wanted to make it his own. Hence, that''s why he sent Kanuo and me to search for the Immortal Grove Region. As a result, it was indeed found by us!" Yue Ji said.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was scorching as he said, "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang already ascended to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, so why would he still covet an empyrean spirit treasure?"


    Yue Ji smiled bitterly and said, "The rarity of heavenly emperor spirit treasures can be described seldom-seen! And the Soul Suppressing Pearl could be said to be top-grade among the masses! It was precisely because Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove had this empyrean spirit treasure, that he had always suppressed Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang. It''s just that didn''t expect that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang''s luck was better than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s. In the end, it was he who broke through first."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, finally having a rough understanding of the beginning and end of the fiend race''s invasion.


    "Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, is it? One day, I''ll let you know that ants can topple trees too!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was sharp, seething with killing intent.


    Seeing this scene, Yue Ji could not help being stunned.


    This kind of big-talk, only this one in front of her dared to say it.


    A heavenly emperor was the strongest existence in the Heavenspan World. Even Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, who had just ascended a million years ago, was also not what an empyrean world''s ant could resist.


    ...


    The great battle already stopped, but the Divine Realm was still making progress with no signs of stopping.


    The entire human territory was already utterly destroyed by this war.


    The original human race setup was already thoroughly smashed.


    Countless human martial artists were turned into fiend slaves by Kanuo, and then utterly obliterated by that attack of Ye Yuan''s.


    The remaining humans returning to the human region anew were bound to experience a very long period of shuffling.


    However, these were all not what Ye Yuan was concerned about.


    Humans were especially adept at the law of survival. Once time passed, they would definitely establish a new order.


    When Ye Yuan returned to the dragon clan, Fang Tian led everyone over.


    They naturally inquired about Mu Lingxue''s situation right away.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Lingxue is fine for the time being. It''s just that her situation is very bad. Senior, I came back to tell you all that I''m leaving! Brother Teng, the Divine Realm''s matters in the future will have to trouble you."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone startled.


    Fang Tian''s expression changed, and he said, "Sure enough, are you going to the outside world?"


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of surprise and immediately smiled and said, "Looks like Senior already guessed it! This world that we''re in is merely a small world that a Martial Dao powerhouse opened up, called Immortal Grove Region! Outside, there''s an even broader world! Want to save Lingxue, I have to go there!"


    Even if Fang Tian already guessed it, hearing Ye Yuan say it out, he was still shaken to the core.


    "Ye Yuan, just what realm are you at right now? It seems like the Deity Realm isn''t as strong as you!" Fang Tian drew a deep breath and said.


    When the others heard this, they also could not help perking their ears up.


    This was the question that every one of them paid attention to!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m indeed initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm currently. It''s just that my situation is somewhat special. If I really have to say, I''m barely considered half-master of the Immortal Grove Region."


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone drew a cold breath. This matter was not difficult to understand.


    That was also to say that Ye Yuan was the Immortal Grove Region''s true god!


    A god that towered above all beings!


    Recalling Ye Yuan''s growth experiences, everyone felt like they were dreaming.


    "Then �� do we still have hopes of breaking through to the Deity Realm?" Teng Yun asked with fear and anxiety in his heart.


    This question was similarly the question that everyone was most concerned with.


    Since Ye Yuan broke through to Deity Realm, then could they �� break through to the Deity Realm or not?


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I induced Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, completing the Heavenly Dao of initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm within my body, obtaining Heavenly Dao''s recognition from there. You guys are unable to replicate it."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s reply, everyone''s faces all involuntarily revealed a look of disappointment.


    Ye Yuan smiled and continued, "But everybody rest assured, this is just temporary! As long as I can reach the outside world, when my strength increases in the future, I''ll naturally have ways to make Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao rise again! At that time, all of you will be able to break through to the Deity Realm!"


    One sentence made everyone pleasantly surprised.


    Except, Fang Tian''s expression was still somewhat unnatural. He discerned the overtones in Ye Yuan''s words.


    Everyone dispersed. There was only Fang Tian and Ye Yuan left inside the great hall.


    Fang Tian said, "Ye Yuan, tell me honestly, this departure for the outside world probably won''t be so smooth, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled. He knew that he could not hide from Fang Tian. Hence, he briefly recounted the matters of the turbulent spatial flow, including the riddle of the disappearance of the Deity Realm powerhouses 100 thousand years ago.


    Fang Tian''s heart shook when he heard this. He was aware how perilous that turbulent spatial flow was.


    "No way! You definitely can''t go! Over 100 thousand years ago, there were at least 100 Deity Realm powerhouses. They faced near certain death when banding up together and entering the turbulent spatial flow! You by yourself, how can you possibly pass through the turbulent spatial flow?" Fang Tian said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Senior, my mind is made up, don''t urge anymore! Lingxue sacrificed her divine soul for me, how can I watch her die helplessly? Don''t talk about near-certain death, even if it''s a certain death, I have to brave it too!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s attitude, Fang Tian knew that he could not persuade. Hence, he let out a sigh and said, "You''re a good boy that regards feelings and ties highly! Forget it, on your trip, you must be careful!"

 1283 Breaking the Seal

    "Li-er, sorry!"


    Under the moonlight, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli stood side by side, the words full of guilt.


    According to Ye Yuan''s original plans, once he was able to break through to the Deity Realm and end the fiend calamity, he would give Yue Mengli a glorious wedding.


    But now, everything went up in smoke.


    Mu Lingxue sacrificed her divine soul for him, leaving just a trace of spiritual consciousness left. Ye Yuan was seriously unable to marry Li-er.


    With two lifetimes, Ye Yuan discovered that he actually fell in love with two people at the same time.


    Ye Yuan always thought that he could put down Mu Lingxue. But that moment when Mu Lingxue unleashed Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, Ye Yuan''s entire person seemed to be siphoned empty.


    Only at that moment did Ye Yuan discover that the more he suppressed them, the deeper the feelings toward Mu Lingxue.


    "Don''t say sorry! If really want to say it, it should be me who says so! If not for my selfishness, maybe when you and Elder Sister Mu reunited, you''d have already walked together. Such a thing wouldn''t have happened as well! I ��"


    Talking up to here, Li-er involuntarily shed tears.


    She was grieving for Mu Lingxue!


    These few days, Li-er was constantly washing her face with tears.


    That scene of Mu Lingxue sacrificing the divine soul, she saw it clearly inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. At that time, her heart shattered.


    She did not think that Mu Lingxue would actually be so decisive!


    Only at that moment did she know that Mu Lingxue''s love for Ye Yuan was not the least bit less than hers!


    Only the depths of love would have such unhesitatingness.


    Li-er was certain that if it was changed to her, she would likewise do so without the slightest hesitation.


    But there was no if; the one crucified on the cross was Mu Lingxue!


    In that instant, she suddenly felt somewhat envious of the Spirit Snow Divine King.


    Because of those words, Ye Yuan would engrave it even deeper in his heart.


    Ye Yuan lightly pulled Li-er into his embrace and said with a sigh, "Silly girl, don''t cry anymore! You understand my heart, Lingxue''s matters was a great blow to me. But your position in my heart isn''t inferior to Lingxue''s. It''s just that her current condition, I truly can''t deceive myself and go soaring away like a pair of birds forever."


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan''s words made Li-er stop crying. She could not bear to make Ye Yuan even more upset.


    "Big Brother Yuan, don''t say anymore, I understand! Go to the Heavenspan World! You must save Elder Sister Mu! Otherwise, I''d really not have the face to live on! If �� If �� I absolutely won''t live on my own!"


    Ye Yuan helped her wipe away tears and said with a smile, "There''s no if! Don''t you trust me?"


    Li-er raised her head to look at Ye Yuan and nodded her head firmly.


    The turbulent spatial flow was incomparably violent. If Ye Yuan brought the Vast Heaven Pagoda into it, it would be crushed into smithereens by the turbulent spatial flow!


    Hence, Ye Yuan could only pass through the turbulent spatial flow alone.


    Ye Yuan already separated the Vast Heaven Pagoda and Vast Heaven Stele. He would bring the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, and pass through the World Locking Gate!


    "You stay behind with White Light and cultivate in peace. Come the day when you guys break through to the Deity Realm, that will be the point where I have preliminary success in the Heavenspan World!" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan was currently considered half-master. When his cultivation reached the Divine Lord Realm, the Divine Realm''s Heavenly Dao would naturally strengthen anew!


    At that time, the Divine Realm''s martial artists would be able to break through to the Deity Realm anew.


    "Rest assured, Big Brother Yuan, I''ll work hard on cultivating!" Li-er said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En, your strength advances at a tremendous pace. There are already not many able to outperform you in the Divine Realm. I can naturally rest assured. Tomorrow, I''ll let Senior Skydistant out. As long as he''s around, nobody in the Divine Realm can overturn the heavens. When my strength is sufficient, I''ll return to see you."


    ...


    But when Ye Yuan appeared in front of Skydistant again, it gave Skydistant a fright.


    He used an expression like he had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan and said in incredible shock, "You �� You actually broke through to the Deity Realm? This �� This is impossible! Heavenly Dao is missing, how did you break through to the Deity Realm?"


    He did not believe this kind of bizarre thing. But that powerful aura of Ye Yuan, even he quivered endlessly.


    This could not fool anyone!


    Ye Yuan did not reply to his question but said with a scoff, "Huhu, Senior Skydistant has been suppressed by Zuo Zong for as long as a million years, seems like you''re not anxious to get out at all?"


    Skydistant froze again and said, "Go out? Don''t joke around! Don''t tell me that you''re here to let me out?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That''s how it is."


    Skydistant said crossly, "Brat, you aren''t here to specially make fun of me after breaking through to the Deity Realm, right? Even if you broke through to the Deity Realm, you''re also just initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm. How can this bit of strength possibly let me out? This joke isn''t funny at all!"


    Ye Yuan smiled without saying a word. Reaching his hand out towards the void a bit, the entire Bloodrain Wilderness started trembling violently.


    The demonic beasts and medicine spirits were all in a tizzy, not knowing what was happening.


    Boom!


    An afterimage shattered the fetters of space, leaping straight out from the depths of the seventh level.


    A burly man appeared in front of Ye Yuan. Who could it be if not Skydistant?


    It was just that shock was written all over Skydistant''s face.


    Ye Yuan''s casual move broke Zuo Zong''s seal. This �� how is this possible?


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was really not here to make fun of him, but to really let him out!


    "Congratulations to Your Excellency for seeing the light of day again!"


    Zuo Zong''s seal being broken by Ye Yuan with a finger, the current Bloodrain Wilderness was consolidated into an enormous medicine garden by Ye Yuan with a great divine ability.


    When the original sixth level''s three great kings saw Skydistant appear, they all came forward to congratulate.


    Skydistant waved his hand impatiently. Staring fixedly at Ye Yuan, he said, "Boy, what on earth is going on? Even if Absolute Heaven reincarnates, it''s also impossible to break the seal that Zuo Zong laid down so easily. How did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Under the Heavenly Dao, what does Zuo Zong count for?"


    Skydistant''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost.


    He was too shocked just now, his brain short-circuiting for a moment, and did not come back to his senses.


    Thinking back now, that finger of Ye Yuan''s earlier was incomparably profound. He could not fathom it at all.


    That �� was the aura of Heavenly Dao!


    Heavenly Dao was actually being used by Ye Yuan?


    Skydistant was instantly thrown into confusion.


    This kind of thing could not be understood at all.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of keeping him in suspense, briefly recounting the events that happened these few years, including the matter of the Great Dao pill refinement and exterminating the fiend race.


    Skydistant''s brain that had just recovered a little fell into a short-circuit once more.


    The three great kings were similarly like so!


    They exchanged glances, their faces full of disbelief.


    Recalling when Ye Yuan entered the Bloodrain Wilderness back then, he was just an ant-like existence in their eyes.


    In just a few year''s time, he actually became the master that towered above all life?


    This kind of feeling was completely like having a dream!


    "Y-Y-You, you''re saying that Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo and Yue Ji are already suppressed by you, and about to be executed right away?" Skydistant said.


    Mentioning Kanuo, the killing intent in Ye Yuan''s body involuntarily spread out.


    Including Skydistant, everyone''s heart shuddered.


    Just a surge of aura was actually so terrifying!


    This was the strength of the controller!

 1284 Law Enforcement Hall

    "Your Excellency, according to your instructions, all humans have already been expelled out of the Demon Region. Moreover, the Mystic Gate has already issued the order, announcing dissolution ��"


    In the hall, Cao Yunzhi reported to Ye Yuan about the direction of the human race''s progress very meticulously.


    The human race had its own set of survival rules. With Ye Yuan chasing them out of the Demon Region, before long, they would form a new arrangement.


    The demon race''s losses were similarly very heavy in order to resist the assault of the fiend race, and they needed to rest and build up strength.


    Ye Yuan already issued a strict order, within a hundred years, if any humans invade the Demon Region, they would be killed without mercy!


    Even though the martial artist world was originally the weak being prey and the strong feasts, Ye Yuan did not wish to repeat the same mistake as with the stoneman clan''s incident.


    After hearing the instructions, Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''ve done very well! Although the Mystic Gate has already disbanded, the fiend calamity this time probably requires a thousand years, even longer, before we can recover some vitality. During this period, the Divine Realm naturally can''t avoid killing. Hence, I''m preparing to set up a Law Enforcement Hall, which is independent of the Divine Realm, specifically to punish those people who are utterly devoid of conscience. This Law Enforcement Hall will be managed by Senior Skydistant. The operation of the Law Enforcement Hall will be left to you to be in charge then."


    Cao Yunzhi trembled all over. But the look of wild ecstasy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.


    He was extremely clever, how could he not understand the significance of this Law Enforcement Hall?


    This shall be a powerful force that transcended the entire Divine Realm. It shall be the Heaven Surmounting Divine King''s spokesperson!


    With Ye Yuan''s awe, this force could be said to be the Divine Realm''s overlord.


    While he would be this force''s operator in practice. The scope of his authority could be said to surpass the Divine Realm.


    Cao Yunzhi already knew that Skydistant''s strength was even stronger than Fang Tian.


    Furthermore, establishing this Law Enforcement Hall, the Spirit Bristle Divine King they all would definitely join.


    This was actually just another Mystic Gate!


    He indeed bet correctly back then!


    Cao Yunzhi prostrated on the ground and said agitatedly, "Yunzhi thanks Your Excellency for the promotion! Yunzhi will definitely do his very best to serve till the end of his days!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Having you be in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall''s operation is naturally because you have this ability. You''re a clever man and should know how great the authority I''ve bestowed upon you! But, if you dare to use power to seek personal gain, making use of the Law Enforcement Hall''s strength to eliminate dissidents and build your own force �� Kanuo''s outcome, you saw it!"


    Ye Yuan''s tone became increasingly colder. Cao Yunzhi felt like the entire sky was almost collapsing, making him instantly feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.


    The wild elation from before instantly turned into a mountain-like pressure.


    Right now, Kanuo was still wailing incessantly in the sky!


    Just a moment ago, a whole bunch of thoughts had indeed flashed across in his inner-heart.


    But now, a fire in his heart burned all these thoughts away.


    This one in front of him was the Divine Realm''s master!


    An existence that controlled Heavenly Dao!


    His might made the entire world tremble.


    No one could surpass him!


    "Your Excellency, rest assured. Even if you lend Yunzhi a hundred galls, Yunzhi won''t dare either!" Cao Yunzhi hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I can naturally trust you, but let''s get the unpleasantness out of the way first. On my trip to the outside world, firstly it is in order to save Lingxue. In addition, it''s also for the sake of rebirthing the Divine Realm''s glory! If I discover that somebody stabbed me in the back, I''ll make him wish he''s dead! Understood?"


    Cao Yunzhi''s expression turned fearful, and he said, "Yunzhi understands!"


    Seeing Cao Yunzhi''s appearance, Ye Yuan knew that his words took effect.


    Cao Yunzhi was a smart man and also indeed the best candidate to manage the Law Enforcement Hall. But he was absolutely not an upright gentleman. If he did not knock and beat him, he might do something in the future.


    Behind the World Locking Gate, the danger of the turbulent spatial flow, apart from Li-er, White Light they all, only Fang Tian alone knew.


    Even if Ye Yuan really met with some mishap inside the turbulent spatial flow, Cao Yunzhi absolutely would not dare to mess around either.


    Cao Yunzhi was very clearly how powerful Ye Yuan''s current strength was!


    "En, you''re a clever person, and should be able to guess my objective of establishing this Law Enforcement Hall! This Law Enforcement Hall''s constitution will be drawn up by you. I just want one point, that is not to intervene in the Divine Realm''s affairs. But also don''t allow extreme things to happen, got it?" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan''s goal was very simple. He just wanted to come up with a transcendental force to grasp the Divine Realm''s developmental direction.


    The existence of the Law Enforcement Hall was much higher than the status of the Holy City.


    What it represented was Ye Yuan himself.


    When Ye Yuan is not in the Divine Realm, it would be up to the Law Enforcement Hall to manage the Divine Realm on his behalf.


    Cao Yunzhi''s expression became stern, and he said, "Your Excellency rest assured. Yunzhi will definitely satisfy Your Excellency."


    After Cao Yunzhi left, Skydistant and Fang Tian walked out from behind the curtains.


    After Skydistant was rescued by Ye Yuan, he immediately took action and thoroughly annihilated the Yu Soul Sect''s Dao legacy.


    With his strength, Cloudsky they all did not have any room to resist at all.


    Being suppressed for a million years, Skydistant finally vented a breath of foul air.


    Of course, this was all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    He was originally not planning on coming out already. Did not expect that Ye Yuan actually took control of Heavenly Dao and easily let him out.


    "Huhu, fine means! Carrot and stick, even if you leave the Divine Realm, that kid probably won''t dare to seek power for personal gains either," said Skydistant who raised a thumbs up to Ye Yuan.


    "Heh, this boy is really a freak! Not only is he a cultivation genius, but he also has a very good grasp on the human heart! Cao Yunzhi that brat is a real piece of work. Disregarding his formidable strength, his cunningness is also first-rate. If Ye Yuan doesn''t play this move, even Teng Yun, the few of them, might end up as his hired thugs too! But no matter how he jumps around, he''s also completely cornered by Ye Yuan," Fang Tian also laughed and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "There are no two ways about it; he''s still afraid of my strength! In front of absolute strength, any schemes are useless."


    Fang Tian nodded and said, "That''s right. With your current strength, it''s not up to Cao Yunzhi to not fear the sword suspending above."


    Skydistant said, "Ye Yuan, when are you planning on leaving?"


    Ye Yuan said, "After three months! Only after I settle the Divine Realm''s matters can I leave without any fears of trouble back at home."


    Before leaving, the things that Ye Yuan had to do were too many.


    Li-er, Lu-er, White Light, he had to placate all of them well. Apart from this, he even took the time to make a trip to the Lower Realms and fetched Ye Hang and the rest to the Divine Realm.


    With his current strength, doing these was just a matter of a single thought.


    Ye Yuan prepared many medicinal pills for Ye Hang''s family, sufficient for them to cultivate to the Divine King Realm.


    This departure for the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan did not know how long he would travel.


    But Ye Yuan knew that over there, a million years was but a snap of a finger.


    Ye Yuan did not wish for when he returned, his parents already returned from dust to dust.


    Having Ye Hang they all cultivate to Divine King Realm and supplementing with medicinal pills, it was sufficient for them to live for as long as several tens of thousands of years.


    The few people were currently chatting when Ye Yuan''s mind suddenly stirred, his brows knitting together.


    Through Heavenly Dao, Ye Yuan detected that somewhere in the Divine Realm, there was a surge of terrifying undulation that billowed to the sky.


    "What''s wrong, Ye Yuan?" seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Fang Tian asked in a solemn voice.

 1285 Array Amplifying Heavenly Dao!

    "Somebody triggered the Heavenly Dao, wanting to break through to the Deity Realm!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Skydistant and Fang Tian exchanged a glance when they heard that, both incredibly shocked.


    "This �� How is this possible? In this world, apart from you, there''s actually still someone capable of breaking through to the Deity Realm?" Fang Tian said with a look of disbelief.


    When it came to talent, he, Fang Tian, could be said to be the greatest in the Divine Realm!


    Even he was unable to break through to Deity Realm, so how could someone possibly break through to the Deity Realm?


    He conceded to Ye Yuan, but other people breaking through to Deity Realm, he was unconvinced.


    "Yeah, you wouldn''t have been mistaken, right? To say that there''s still someone capable of breaking through to Deity Realm, I won''t believe even if you beat me to death!" Skydistant said.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, "I only said that somebody is breaking through to the Deity Realm; I didn''t say that he broke through to the Deity Realm. If barring no accidents, he''s probably going to fail."


    Only upon hearing Ye Yuan''s words did the two people''s expressions become a little better.


    But they were very curious just who was breaking through to the Deity Realm.


    Those with the qualifications to break through to the Deity Realm in the Divine Realm were just those few. There was no reason that they did not know.


    "However �� his breakthrough method is really indulging in the wildest of fantasy! It''s too bad, too bad!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan''s words involuntarily aroused the two people''s curiosity.


    "Ye Yuan, just what in the world is happening? Are you trying to exasperate me to death?" Skydistant said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. His mind stirred, and he arrived at the summit of a tall mountain.


    Three people stood in the air, looking at the raging storm in the distance.


    When Skydistant and Fang Tian saw this scene, their faces revealed an astonished look at the same time.


    Fang Tian''s gaze turned intent, and he exclaimed, "Grand Yan Divine King! This �� This is the aura of Heavenly Dao! He �� He actually used array formations to derive Heavenly Dao!"


    This powerhouse that was currently breaking through to the Deity Realm was actually the Grand Yan Divine King, Lu Linfeng!


    During the turmoil with the fiend race, he never showed himself all along. Fang Tian did not expect that he was actually preparing to break through to the Deity Realm!


    Although he could not see his true body, Fang Tian was not foreign to Lu Linfeng''s aura and recognized it at a glance.


    Skydistant was also unbelievably shocked and exclaimed, "He �� He''s actually going to create a Heavenly Dao that belongs to him! This guy is really a genius!"


    In the distance, inside the array formation, a sacred aura surged to the sky.


    That array formation subverted their past understanding.


    Within the scope of the array formation, there was a very unique atmosphere.


    That atmosphere did not belong to the Immortal Grove Region, but it belonged to �� the Grand Yan Divine King himself!


    The array formation''s area was akin to another world, appearing out of place with the surrounding environment.


    Grand Yan Divine King Lu Linfeng, actually derived Heavenly Dao with Formation Dao, creating a Heavenly Dao that belonged to him.


    This way of thinking could not be said to not be genius!


    Furthermore, it seemed like he was already not far away from success!


    It was precisely because so that Skydistant and Fang Tian would be so visibly moved.


    However, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Doing this, he''ll suffer the wrath of heaven!"


    Skydistant duo trembled all over, looking toward Ye Yuan, uncertain what it meant.


    If other people said these kinds of words, they would definitely turn their noses up and scoff.


    But, in this Immortal Grove Region, no one had more authority to say this kind of words than Ye Yuan.


    His words virtually represented the Heavenly Dao!


    He said that he would suffer the wrath of heaven, then he would definitely suffer heaven''s condemnation!


    Except, they did not understand. Why would such a shockingly brilliant idea suffer heaven''s condemnation?


    "Old Fart Lu is indeed a rare genius! Even if his strength is slightly weaker than Zhuge Qingxuan and Brother Teng, he clearly has more ideas than them on Dao. It''s just a shame that Old Fart Lu is pulling up seedlings to help them grow here!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    "Pulling up seedlings to help them grow?" The two said with a puzzled look.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and explained, "Creating Heavenly Dao, that is something that only Divine Lord Realm can do. Old Fart Lu is only Half-Deity Realm, how can he be capable of creating a Heavenly Dao belonging to him? Furthermore, in the Immortal Grove Region, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s Heavenly Dao rejects all other Heavenly Daos. Him creating a Heavenly Dao that belongs to him, that is challenging the prestige of Heavenly Dao. How can Heavenly Dao not eradicate him? This idea seems genius, but actually, it''s no different from seeking death."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the two shudder with fear.


    The two of them were Half-Deity Realm powerhouses. Moreover, their concepts were already comprehended to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    But regarding Heavenly Dao''s understanding, they could not even catch up to Ye Yuan by whipping their horses.


    They only felt that Lu Linfeng''s aura was incomparably powerful, charging straight for Deity Realm.


    But did not expect that there were actually still so many tricks involved.


    As if affirming Ye Yuan''s words, an apocalyptic aura descended from the sky at this time.


    Skydistant and Fang Tian''s countenance suddenly changed!


    This aura was even stronger than what Ye Yuan exhibited!


    At this time, they finally understood Ye Yuan''s words.


    Heavenly Dao was enraged!


    Lu Linfeng''s approach already thoroughly infuriated Heavenly Dao.


    Heavenly Dao had no consciousness. It was just a kind of extremely mysterious rule. Everything was a primitive instinct.


    The Immortal Grove Region''s Heavenly Dao was the rules that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove set.


    Now, someone was challenging the prestige of Heavenly Dao. It instinctively wanted to give it a catastrophic blow.


    Hence, this terrifying heavenly tribulation descended from the sky.


    A dark-yellow lightning bolt plummeted straight down from the clouds. This lightning bolt was like a towering tree that reached the heavens, incomparably thick.


    The target was precisely the grand array that Lu Linfeng set up!


    The commotion of Lu Linfeng''s breakthrough was indeed huge. But he already realized that his way of doing things would not work. The array formation already showed signs of instability.


    This terrifying heavenly tribulation arriving at this time, his gaze revealed a look of despair.


    Only at this time did he realize that he seemed to have angered Heavenly Dao.


    The Heavenly Dao wanted to kill him and be done with it!


    Just as that incomparably thick lightning bolt was about to fall on the array formation, a gentle power of Heavenly Dao overlapped on top of his array formation.


    When that dark-yellow lightning bolt landed on it, it actually directly dissipated into nothingness.


    The Lu Linfeng inside the array formation was incomparably shocked as he looked at this scene. He did not expect that this heavenly tribulation was actually all talk no action.


    "Puhwark!"


    It was not up to him to be shocked. The breakthrough failing caused him to suffer a tremendous backlash, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    When everything evaporated away, only then, did Lu Linfeng saw clearly that there were three figures in the distance currently looking at him. This made him greatly surprised.


    In order to ensure that his breakthrough was not interrupted, he set up many large formations around him. Even peak Void Mystic absolutely could not barge inside either.


    But these three people actually entered effortlessly.


    Furthermore, he actually did not detect it in the slightest.


    If the three people touched the array formation, his breakthrough would have long failed.


    The three silhouettes flashed and arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye.


    Seeing the arrivals, Lu Linfeng''s gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, "Ji Qingyun! Was �� Was it you who saved me?"


    Lu Linfeng was not a fool. The might of that bolt of heavenly tribulation before could virtually destroy the heavens and decimate the heaven. But it started off with a large bang and ended with a whimper, finally dissipating into nothing. This was definitely someone making a move to assist.


    Except, that kind of Heavenly Dao''s might, who had this ability to save him?


    Lu Linfeng had always focused on closed-seclusion, making preparations for today''s breakthrough. Regarding the Divine Realm''s matters, he did not have the slightest clue.


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled and his gaze revealed astoundment as he said, "You �� You broke through to the Deity Realm? This �� This is impossible! I must have seen it wrongly!"

 1286 World Locking Gate!

    This person, Ye Yuan, in front of him gave Lu Linfeng a feeling of being above the clouds.


    This kind of strength, what was it if not someone in the Deity Realm?


    Furthermore, Lu Linfeng faintly had a feeling earlier, that aura that saved him was actually identical with the Heavenly Dao''s!


    Fang Tian looked at Lu Linfeng with sympathy and said, "You didn''t guess wrongly. Ye Yuan, he indeed broke through to Deity Realm. He is now the Divine Realm''s sole Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Lu Linfeng''s entire body trembled, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of bizarreness.


    For the sake of today, he had prepared for who knows how many years and expended god knows how much effort.


    Before today, Lu Linfeng had been very confident.


    He was confident that his approach was the most genius idea in the Divine Realm''s 100 thousand years.


    Not saying that it was definitely able to break through to the Deity Realm, but it was absolutely the most promising.


    In the end, he failed!


    This was originally nothing. After all, over these 100 thousand years, the people who failed were too many.


    But a Deity Realm powerhouse actually really showed up in front of him!


    Nothing was more demoralizing than this.


    Ye Yuan knew that him appearing at this time was not some good timing. But Lu Linfeng''s relationship with him was not shallow.


    To really calculate, he was even half a disciple of his.


    Allowing Lu Linfeng to be killed by heavenly tribulation, Ye Yuan could not do it.


    "Impossible! Even I failed, and you �� How did you accomplish it?" Lu Linfeng said, battered out of his senses.


    These words sounded very arrogant, but Lu Linfeng indeed had the capital to be arrogant.


    He derived a Heavenly Dao belonging to him with Formation Dao. This talent, this boldness, this strength, apart from Ye Yuan, there really was not a second person.


    Even Fang Tian was also inferior to Lu Linfeng in certain aspects.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What you walk on is the Formation Dao, what I walk on is the Alchemy Dao. You derived Heavenly Dao with array formations, I completed Heavenly Dao with the Alchemy Dao; that''s all there is to it."


    Lu Linfeng''s gaze turned intent, and he muttered, "Completing Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, completing Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao! That''s all �� there is to it?"


    He naturally understood Ye Yuan''s words. In fact, Ye Yuan''s path had the same ingenuity of achieving the same goal via different means with him.


    It was just that, he failed, while Ye Yuan succeeded!


    Lu Linfeng keenly realized the profundities in Ye Yuan''s words. One derived Heavenly Dao with Formation Dao, the other completed Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao.


    It looked almost the same, but actually, it was diametrically opposed!


    Ye Yuan''s words were very vague, but it made Lu Linfeng suddenly feel refreshed.


    Ye Yuan was telling him that his idea was too unrealistic, that was why it would fail.


    Lu Linfeng could not refrain from recalling that terrifying heavenly tribulation and involuntarily palpitated with anxiety and fear.


    He suddenly felt that something was wrong. Deity Realm was strong, but just now, he himself already touched the threshold of Deity Realm too. It seemed like it was still somewhat enough to choke when dealing with this heavenly tribulation.


    "Ye Yuan, the heavenly tribulation just now �� even if you''re Deity Realm, it''s also impossible to resolve it so easily, right?" Lu Linfeng asked probingly.


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "Ye Yuan isn''t an ordinary Deity Realm! You have been in closed-seclusion all along and probably don''t know what happened in the Divine Realm. Ye Yuan is already the Divine Realm''s controller now, surmounting above all life."


    "C-Controller?" Lu Linfeng''s pupils constricted. He was frightened by this term.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Old Fart Lu, you don''t need to be disheartened either. With your talent, as long as you cultivate according to conventional routine, there''s still a chance to corroborate the Great Dao again. Making a move earlier was just returning the favor of you imparting to me your knowledge."


    Lu Linfeng''s face was ashen pale, and he said with self-ridicule, "Talk is cheap for you, corroborate the Great Dao again? Easier said than done! This path doesn''t work. This Lu''s years of effort is equivalent to being in vain."


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Great Dao leads to the same destination. How can your efforts be wasted? You should just cultivate with peace of mind. In the future, there will be an opportunity to cultivate to the Origin Deity Realm. When the time comes, it will be the time for this method of array amplifying Heavenly Dao to give off its brilliance! That''s all this Ye has to say. Old Fart Lu, you take care!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Fang Tian and Skydistant along with him and disappeared from where they were.


    Lu Linfeng trembled. Looking at the direction Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared, he did not come back to his sense for a long time.


    Ye Yuan''s few short sentences revealed a lot of information!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan really had a way of making that vanished Heavenly Dao of the Divine Realm''s return again?


    Highly probable!


    Ye Yuan''s current realm was already what he could not see through.


    Furthermore, listening to the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words, after Origin Deity Realm, there were actually even higher realms!


    But these were too far away for him.


    Ye Yuan''s words re-ignited Lu Linfeng''s hope.


    He got a backlash from Heavenly Dao, his strength greatly diminished. But Ye Yuan''s move already minimized Heavenly Dao''s damage to him to the greatest degree, preserving his foundation.


    As long as he cultivated hard, he could still return to the peak.


    ...


    Three months later, in the land of extreme east of the Divine Realm, at the end of the Garnersky Sea Region, there was a stretch of heavy fog.


    The feeling that the stretch of fog gave people was extremely dangerous. Even Ye Yuan''s gaze revealed a look of dread too.


    Several figures stood in the air. Ye Yuan, Fang Tian, Skydistant, Yue Mengli, White Light, Long Teng, and the rest, all came here to see Ye Yuan off.


    There were four phantoms behind Ye Yuan. They were precisely the spirits of the four symbols!


    "What, scared? There''s the realm barrier protecting here, the violent spatial turbulent flow can''t come in. Once you pass through the World Locking Gate, it''s the endless spatial turbulent flow after that! Do you �� still want to brave it?"


    A voice came from within the void. It was precisely Kunwu.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, don''t need to persuade anymore. Ye Yuan''s mind is made up!"


    "Heh, truly a brat who doesn''t turn back without hitting the south wall! Forget it, if you want to court death yourself, others can''t stop you either," Kunwu said in a disappointed and angry tone.


    Ye Yuan slowly turned around and gave a bow towards the spirits of the four symbols, and said, "I''ll have to trouble four seniors!"


    The spirits of the four symbols were the totem powers of the four clans and did not have consciousness. But they were subjected to the domination of the Sacred Dragon Token, that was why Ye Yuan could bring them here.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought out the Sacred Dragon Token. A sacred aura instantly radiated the entire sea region.


    The spirits of the four symbols also each split into north, south, east, west, revolving around the Sacred Dragon Token and standing in the air.


    Suddenly, four clear cries billowed to the sky. The spirits of the four symbols opened their enormous mouths at the same time and spewed out a surge of powerful laws undulation, converging over towards the void.


    "World Locking Gate, open!"


    Four arcs of light shot to the sky and finally gathered in one place above the void.


    An archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life came from above the void.


    A massive stone door manifested!


    Following the appearance of this stone door, everyone only felt like their divine souls were about to collapse and dissipate.


    This aura that suppressed everything truly made people collapse.


    Ye Yuan''s body gave off an aura belonging to Heavenly Dao, enveloping everyone. That feeling of collapse instantly vanished into nothing.


    Everyone looked at that archaic gate, unbelievably shocked.


    "This is the World Locking Gate? What a powerful aura! Not reaching the Deity Realm, one can''t withstand this kind of frightening pressure at all!" Fang Tian said with a sigh.


    "No idea how those Deity Realm powerhouses back then knew about this exit either. Those selfish fellows had best all be buried in the turbulent spatial flow!" White Light said with indignation.

 1287 Turbulent Spatial Flow!

    "Senior Skydistant, Senior Fang Tian, after Ye Yuan leaves, the Divine Realm will have to trouble you all to take care of it!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands at the two and said.


    Finally, the time to leave still came. Leaving his homeland, Ye Yuan also had a myriad of feelings well up in his heart for a moment too.


    This place had what he was worried about, had his fetters. No matter where he went to, this was his home.


    Regarding his home, Ye Yuan was naturally very concerned about his posthumous coverage.


    Fang Tian said, "Go on, rest assured about the Divine Realm''s matters. With Skydistant and me around, they can''t stir up any large waves. There''s also Lu Linfeng. He went to find Cao Yunzhi the other day as well, taking the initiative to request to serve as the Law Enforcement Hall''s guest elder."


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "I didn''t expect that this guy would actually do such a thing."


    The Grand Yan Divine King had always moved independently. Apart from taking in a disciple, he had never joined any faction before and was completely indifferent to the Divine Realm''s matters as well.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would actually take the initiative to request to join the Law Enforcement Hall.


    Skydistant smiled and said, "Isn''t this still on account of your face? He''s giving a plum in return for a peach here, returning your life-saving grace!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and did not say anything.


    With so many powerhouses holding down the fort, presumably, no major storms should appear in the Divine Realm. He could also leave with peace of mind.


    "Senior Long Teng, on this journey, thank you very much for your care!"


    Ye Yuan gave a deep bow toward Long Teng.


    Long Teng was a teacher-like friend to Ye Yuan and helped Ye Yuan tremendously.


    Previously, in order to let Ye Yuan escape, Long Teng even did not hesitate his soul disintegrating to resist Kanuo. How could Ye Yuan not be moved?


    "Go on, go on, but you must take care!" Old Teng had tears running down his aged face as he said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head solemnly and came before White Light.


    The two people grasped hands and had a big bear hug.


    Between brothers, there was no need for too many words.


    "Big Brother, you can go with peace of mind. I''ll work hard on cultivation. When you restore the Divine Realm''s Heavenly Dao one day, I''ll go to the Heavenspan World to find you!" White Light said firmly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Good brother! I''ll wait for you in the Heavenspan World!"


    By the side, Lu-er was long already sobbing until tears poured down.


    "Young Master, Lu-er �� can''t bear to leave you! Sniff, sniff ��"


    Ye Yuan pulled Lu-er into his embrace. Lightly stroking her hair, he said, "Good Lu-er, you cultivate well too. When you break through to the Deity Realm, Young Master will definitely fetch you to the Heavenspan World, alright?"


    Lu-er pushed Ye Yuan away and said with teary eyes, "Young Master, you have to keep your word!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When have Young Master lied to you before?"


    Lu-er smiled through tears and said, "I knew that Young Master is the best! Young Master, rest assured; Lu-er will definitely cultivate well and strive to break through to the Deity Realm as soon as possible!"


    Yue Mengli still had an indifferent expression, as if nothing could move her.


    Except, that hint of sadness and reluctance to part in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Li-er, you too."


    Li-er''s expression dimmed. She nodded and lightly hummed.


    Looking at Li-er''s eyes, Ye Yuan felt his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts and was actually speechless.


    Ye Yuan understood that if they had to compete to see who was better, among these people, the one who could not bear for him to leave the most would be Li-er.


    But, in order to not make him worry, she stubbornly endured it.


    This girl, he really had nothing to nitpick with.


    Ye Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say it.


    At this time, any words were feeble.


    With this departure, life and death were hard to predict, weal and woe unknown.


    That was a completely foreign world. They did not know, Ye Yuan similarly did not know.


    Just like entering the Godsfall Mountain Range back then, Ye Yuan seriously could not give them any promise.


    "I''m going!"


    Ye Yuan hardened his heart, turned around, and flew towards that World Locking Gate.


    Li-er''s tears could not hold back anymore and burst out. She shouted at Ye Yuan''s back view: "Big Brother Yuan, Li-er will go and find you! You must take good care of yourself!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure paused, but gritted his teeth and refused to turn his head back, his figure finally vanishing behind the World Locking Gate.


    He was afraid, afraid that he did not have the courage to leave.


    When Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared from her line of sight, Li-er''s entire person seemed to have been sapped of strength, falling down weakly.


    Lu-er was startled and hurriedly supported her, similarly complaining tearfully, "Big Sister Li-er, you have to hang on! Young Master �� Young Master, he''ll definitely be fine!"


    Li-er''s tears were like floodwaters that broke the dam, drenched a peerlessly beautiful face.


    "I know �� I know! He''ll definitely be fine!" Li-er choked.


    The two sisters hugged their heads and cried bitterly. When everyone by the side saw this scene, they all could not hold back tears from trickling down their cheeks.


    What they could do was only to pray, pray that Ye Yuan was able to survive the turbulent spatial flow.


    ...


    In front of Ye Yuan was a murky gray space, no direction, no sounds.


    What there was, was just violent energy undulations.


    Ye Yuan heard Kunwu say before, this turbulent spatial flow was actually a sea of space, pieced together and formed by countless spatial fragments.


    The friction and fluctuations between the spatial fragments would produce incomparably violent energy, wiping out everything in the sea of space.


    Of course, this kind of energy had strong and weak types.


    Strong ones, even if it was a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, they could obliterate too.


    Weak ones, it was nine chances to die and one chance to live for Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouses too.


    Right now, Ye Yuan had just passed through the World Locking Gate. The turbulent spatial flow was not very strong yet.


    Following his penetration deep inside, these energy storms would become stronger and stronger.


    All the way until the end, utterly obliterating him.


    Want to shuttle back and forth in the turbulent spatial flow safely, one must have at least True God Realm strength!


    Hence, that was why Kunwu said that Ye Yuan entering the turbulent spatial flow was certain death.


    That group of people 100 thousand years ago relied on safety in numbers, under their teaming up, that was how they had an additional ray of hope.


    Kunwu said, even if they were really able to pass through the turbulent spatial flow, to have five people remaining was already considered pretty good.


    Of course, this was still an optimistic estimation.


    The greatest likelihood was still not a single one left!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan, a rookie who had just broken through to Deity Realm, wanting to pass through the turbulent spatial flow, could virtually be said to be a fool''s talk!


    This turbulent spatial flow, the most dangerous was still not these violent energies, but those spatial fragments.


    Once bumped into by those spatial fragments, even Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse would be shredded into pieces by the unstable spatial fragments too!


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and shrunk the Domain of Sword to a radius of ten feet. At the same time, an earth-yellow light flooded on his body, revolving the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art, his figure shooting out akin to an arrow that left the string!


    After breaking through to Deity Realm, Ye Yuan''s defense could truly use powerful to describe already.


    The Domain of Sword and Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art evoked with Deity Realm, the power could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    One had to know that even the Origin Deity Realm Zuo Zong back then was unable to do anything to Skydistant. How powerful the defensive strength of this cultivation method was, it could be imagined.


    Entering the sea of space, countless violent energies assailed from all directions.


    The tiny figure of Ye Yuan was instantly drowned out.


    Only at this time did he truly understand why Kunwu was not optimistic about him.

 1288 Spatial Storm!

    When Ye Yuan was still in the Divine King Realm, three great fiendgods joining hands were also unable to breach his defense.


    Breaking through to the Deity Realm now, his defense was god knows how many times stronger compared to back then.


    But even so, Ye Yuan could not endure the turbulent spatial flow that surged over from all directions very soon.


    His divine essence was being rapidly consumed, his physical strength was also being depleted quickly.


    At the rate of this speed of consumption, before long, he would be utterly swallowed up by these violent spatial turbulent flows.


    "Sigh, kid, I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming! Now, you know that Kunwu and I weren''t joking around with you, right?"


    In his sea of consciousness, Dustless''s voice rang out.


    How could Ye Yuan''s huge consumption of physical strength and essence energy hide from his eyes?


    This was still the beginning, and Ye Yuan already almost could not bear it anymore.


    Continuing forward would be facing certain death.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "If Senior has time to laugh at me, might as well help me think of a way!"


    "Heh, passing through the turbulent spatial flow, you can only rely on your own strength. I can''t protect myself currently, how can I help you?" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only grit his teeth and endure forcefully.


    Ye Yuan carefully avoided the spatial fragments while gritting his teeth and resisting the impact of the turbulent spatial flow.


    At the start, Ye Yuan''s speed was very fast.


    But very soon, it became very hard for him to move his feet.


    Although this process was painful, Ye Yuan was still able to accomplish slow progress by relying on his powerful defensive strength.


    Cultivating the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art to the Divine Dao first level, Ye Yuan''s defensive strength was even stronger compared to those middle-stage, even late-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouses back then!


    Coupled with the Domain of Sword, Ye Yuan''s defensive strength could absolutely rival those in the Grotto Profound Deity Realm grand completion!


    Ye Yuan still had this bit of confidence.


    Time slowly passed, the Dustless inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl was also shocked by Ye Yuan''s willpower.


    According to the Divine Realm''s time, Ye Yuan already walked in this turbulent spatial flow for seven days and nights.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan should have long reached his limits.


    But, by relying on his willpower and exquisite control over divine essence, he forcefully sustained for seven days and nights.


    The Divine Realm had long been devoid of divine rank spirit medicines already. Ye Yuan did not have divine pills'' formulas either. Hence, there was no way to refine divine pills at all.


    Even arcane insight rank''s mystic grade medicinal pills had no effect at all on the current Ye Yuan too.


    Without the support of medicinal pills, Ye Yuan could only rely on his own strength.


    In this place, Ye Yuan unleashed his advantages of an alchemist to the limits.


    His control over the Domain of Sword could be described using harsh.


    If he could use a fraction of divine essence, Ye Yuan absolutely would not use a trace more of divine essence!


    Humans would erupt with tremendous potential under a critical state.


    In seven days'' time, Ye Yuan''s exquisite control aspect of divine essence actually improved even further.


    This point, Dustless also secretly expressed his wonder.


    Except, even if Ye Yuan lasted seven days and nights, it was also just taking the first step of a ten thousand miles long journey.


    According to Dustless, wanting to pass through this sea of space required two months'' time!


    The further back, the more powerful the turbulent spatial flow would become, while Ye Yuan''s consumption would also be greater and greater.


    Hence, even if Ye Yuan lasted seven days and nights, Dustless was not optimistic about him at all either.


    In just seven days'' time, Ye Yuan''s divine essence was already exhausted by more than half.


    The remaining journey, this kind of consumption would only increase more and more. What would he use to tide over the journey at the back?


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. The energy undulations around him actually became even more violent all of a sudden.


    In virtually an instant, the pressure on Ye Yuan''s body skyrocketed, the divine essence and physical strength consumption suddenly becoming several times faster.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became incomparably ugly. At the rate of this consumption speed, he could not sustain for very long.


    "Senior, what''s going on here?" Ye Yuan asked Dustless.


    Dustless''s expression was also incomparably ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "Your luck is really booming! This �� This is a spatial storm!"


    "Spatial storm?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed even tighter.


    This name did not sound like a jackpot, no matter what.


    Dustless said, "A spatial storm is a situation when two enormous spatial fragments collide into each other, and then shatter apart, throwing the energy inside the sea of space into complete havoc. Just like a tsunami at sea, the spatial turbulent flow''s berserk extent will instantly increase several dozen times, even several hundred times! It''s just that this spatial storm might not be encountered even once in several decades normally! I didn''t expect that you ran into it! Ye Yuan, turn back! Once a spatial storm kicks up, you absolutely can''t pass through the turbulent spatial flow!"


    Clearly, even Dustless was also very apprehensive of this spatial storm.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath. Increasing several dozen times, even several hundred times, he could not withstand it with his strength at all.


    This was truly rain pouring throughout the night when your roof was already leaking. Ye Yuan did not expect that his luck was actually so good, encountering this kind of thing.


    Ye Yuan''s expression flickered incessantly, his heart was also struggling incessantly.


    The surrounding energy undulations became stronger and stronger, virtually going to shred his entire person up.


    This was still just the beginning. Moving forward, the spatial storm would get even more terrifying!


    Terrifying until one was unable to imagine it!


    "Ye Yuan, what are you still in a daze for? A spatial storm is absolutely not what you can resist alone! Even if a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse enters the center of the storm, it''s a road that leads to death too!" Dustless said urgently.


    He did not wish for Ye Yuan to die just like this. That way, he probably would not have the possibility of waking up the next time already.


    The Immortal Grove World''s Heavenly Dao already could not sustain for that long anymore.


    But Ye Yuan was still hesitating.


    "Hurry, Ye Yuan! You won''t make it if you''re any slower!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly clenched his teeth and urged his essence energy and physical strength to the limits, and plunged headlong into the storm!


    "Are you mad, Ye Yuan?" You''re courting death here!" Dustless said with a furious roar.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually did not retreat. He advanced instead, marching into the spatial storm.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. His gaze was incomparably firm, entering the spatial storm without any hesitation.


    This spatial storm''s scale was massive. Ye Yuan was already brought inside by the storm. Even if he escaped, he might not be able to get out either.


    Turning back again at this time, his essence energy and physical strength might not be able to sustain him to return to his starting point as well.


    Therefore, he chose to move forward!


    Since he came here, there was no road back anymore.


    Being overly cautious and indecisive, he would die even quicker instead.


    "Lunatic! You lunatic! You fool who overestimate your own ability! Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you think that by controlling Heavenly Dao, you can consider everybody and everything beneath your notice? Let me tell you, in the Heavenspan World, you''re mere an ant ��"


    Dustless howled inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness. But no matter what he said, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear too.


    He clung stubbornly to his own course and advanced forward, urging essence energy and physical strength to the limits.


    Violent energy sliced on Ye Yuan''s body akin to sharp knives.


    Very soon, his defense could not support it anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s body was sustaining a tremendous impact.


    Ye Yuan mustered up the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, repairing the injuries within his body frenziedly.


    The spatial storm became more and more rampant, ravaging Ye Yuan''s fleshy body crazily.

 1289 Mute Girl Wanru

    The noon-day sun high in the sky, spiritual power was plentiful.


    On a field overgrown with weeds, a group of carriages and horses with several dozen people were currently advancing slowly.


    "Second Miss, there''s another half a month''s journey, and then we''ll reach the Myriad Beast Forest! After the Myriad Beast Forest, we won''t be far from Jewelhill City anymore."


    The one talking was a middle-aged man dressed as a guard. In front of him was a pretty-looking woman.


    Looking at that appearance, she should be the leader of this company.


    "En, instruct everyone to be a little more careful. The Myriad Beast Forest has been rather tumultuous recently. After passing through the Myriad Beast Forest, this young lady will give everybody double the pay," the woman said with a nod.


    The middle-aged man was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Second Miss!"


    He turned around and called out to the group of guards: "Did everybody hear that? Second Miss wants to double our pay, so all buck up and be smart about it! Do you hear me?"


    The group of guards were also overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Second Miss!"


    The woman smiled slightly and nodded her head to give a signal.


    Her gaze inadvertently looked over toward the woman at the rear, a hint of disdain showing at the corners of her mouth.


    That woman was weak as a willow, her spirit appearing slightly haggard. But in terms of looks, it was several points above that second miss.


    Toward the second miss'' display, the girl did not express much. Clearly, she was indifferent by favor or disgrace.


    Suddenly, her brows knitted, and she suddenly drew the reins of her horse and turned off the main road.


    When the second miss saw this, she frowned and berated, "Liang Wanru, what are you going to do?"


    The girl ignored her and got down her horse, entering into the grassy growth.


    In the thicket, there was a man covered in wounds and scars, too ghastly to look at.


    The woman frowned hard, her face revealing a look of lament.


    She turned around and beckoned to the middle-aged guard. That guard was just about to move, but then he heard the second miss said coldly, "Zhang Shun, you''re not to go! A dead man, bring along for what? If she wants to take alone, let her carry him over herself."


    Zhang Shun hesitated for a bit, and finally still retreated to one side, and did not go over.


    Liang Wanru sighed slightly and actually really took it upon herself to go and support that ''dead man.''


    The ''dead man'' was not very heavy. But there were dried bloodstains all over his body. He had already basked under the blazing sun for god knows how many days, with his body emitting waves of unbearable smell.


    The ''dead man'' was none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who escaped with his life by a fluke from inside the spatial storm!


    He was naturally not really dead, but he was also not far from death.


    Ye Yuan did not have an intact spot from head to toe. The skin and flesh on his body were turned out, scorched under the blazing sun for quite a long time, giving off a nasty smell.


    Even with the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, it was also unable to recover the injuries on his body.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan did not have a trace of essence energy undulation from head to toe at this time; he was no different from a mortal and was just left with one last breath.


    Continuing to bask under this blazing sun, this final breath probably would not be ensured anymore as well.


    Liang Wanru endured the stench on Ye Yuan''s body and carried him onto a carriage.


    On the carriage was full of goods giving off a faint medicinal fragrance.


    But Ye Yuan was completely oblivious at this time, allowing Liang Wanru to fiddle as she pleased.


    The second miss slowly came to the carriage''s side. Looking at the Ye Yuan lying on the carriage dead to the world, her brows involuntarily knitted together tightly.


    Liang Wanru''s ethereal and refined body was also made very messy by Ye Yuan at this time.


    But she did not seem to mind.


    "Heh, my good elder sister, even though this person is still hanging in there with one last breath, he''s already no different from a dead person. Our trip hasn''t been too smooth. Aren''t you adding more to the disarray by bringing him along? Let me tell you, if we run into any dangers in the Myriad Beast Forest, nobody will care about his life and death!" the second miss said coldly.


    Liang Wanru did not speak and actually used her hand to gesture something.


    This beautiful Liang Wanru was actually a mute!


    The second miss clearly understood Liang Wanru''s hand gesture. With a look of disgust on her face, she said with a cold snort, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda? My good elder sister, are you feigning a heart of gold again? Yeah, you''re a living bodhisattva, we''re all heinous sinners! Huhu, with the way he looks, you got to save him first before talking! This stinky man''s divine sea is damaged, and his fleshy body has already suffered irreversible damage. Even if Elder Fan is here, he''s also powerless to turn the tables!"


    Liang Wanru''s expression dimmed, giving Ye Yuan a sympathetic glance. Suddenly, she fished out a bright red medicinal pill and was going to give Ye Yuan to consume.


    The second miss''s gaze turned intent, and she looked at Liang Wanru in disbelief as she said, "Are you mad? This Profound Essence Pill is a high-grade Tier 1 divine pill. It''s a relic that Father left for you. You actually want to take it out to save a person who has nothing to do with you? When we go back, I must tell this matter to Father!"


    Not just the second miss, even those guards'' faces also revealed a look of astonishment.


    High-grade Tier 1 divine pill, each one was incomparably precious.


    They, these guards, could not afford it even if they bankrupted themselves!


    Liang Wanru looked at her and smiled slightly, but did not hesitate in the slightest, stuffing that Profound Essence Pill into Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    She brought over some water for Ye Yuan to drink, guiding the medicinal pill in.


    When the second miss saw this scene, she snorted coldly and said, "Liang Wanru, it''s fine that you yourself are a good-for-nothing. But now, you still want to bring along a good-for-nothing! We''re not here to sightsee. If we really encounter any danger, nobody will care about you guys!"


    Liang Wanru looked at her and still smiled slightly.


    This smile was like a spring breeze blowing past, warming people''s hearts.


    Except, it could not warm the second miss'' heart.


    The group of people continued on their way. No one bothered with Liang Wanru and Ye Yuan at all.


    Clearly, Liang Wanru was a marginalized figure.


    However, Liang Wanru did not complain about anything, taking the utmost care of Ye Yuan along the way.


    She endured the stench and helped Ye Yuan clean up the rotten flesh on his body, helping him clean his wounds.


    Apart from that Profound Essence Pill, Liang Wanru took out some more medicinal pills, giving Ye Yuan to eat every other two days.


    Seeing this scene, the second miss, Liang Wanrong, just watched differently, with a look of disdain.


    She and Liang Wanru were biological sisters. It was just that Liang Wanru was born of the legal wife, while she was a concubine''s child.


    Their father, Liang Mingyu, loved Liang Wanru''s mother very much and treated Liang Wanru very well as well. But Liang Wanru suffered many setbacks in life. Her mother passing away prematurely, and she was innately unable to talk.


    Later on, Liang Mingyu remarried. That was how there was Liang Wanrong.


    Liang Wanrong''s mother was another large family clan''s daughter in Jewelhill City. Marrying Liang Mingyu was marrying to someone of a lower status, and she had always been very domineering in the Liang Family.


    Liang Wanrong mother and daughter found Liang Wanru displeasing to the eye no matter how they looked at her, so they caused her hardship in all manners.


    Liang Mingyu lacked power and could only turn a blind eye to this.


    Fortunately, he had some conscience and compensated his eldest daughter a little in private. That was how it let Liang Wanru have an easier time.


    The Liang Family was in the medicinal herbs business. This time, the two daughters were sent to import a batch of medicinal herbs. At this time, it was already on the way back.


    When Liang Wanrong saw her elder sister''s busy appearance, suddenly, a wicked thought lingered in her heart and did not go away for a long time.


    At this time, it had already been over ten days since Liang Wanru saved Ye Yuan.


    Under her meticulous care, Ye Yuan finally woke up from his coma.Fun fact, the characters for her name can mean meek and endure.

 1290 Miraculous Encounter

    "Brat, you finally woke up!"


    Ye Yuan had just regained consciousness when Dustless''s voice sounded out by his ears.


    He had just regained consciousness and could not even open his eyes.


    A heart-piercing intense pain transmitted over, making Ye Yuan''s divine soul quiver.


    But he could not even groan.


    His entire body seemed like it was totally not his.


    "Senior Dustless? I �� I''m not dead yet?"


    Regarding him surviving miraculously, Ye Yuan also felt very surprised.


    Recalling the spatial storm, Ye Yuan still had lingering fear in his heart until now.


    In front of those violent spatial energies, Ye Yuan was feeble as if he was a mortal.


    Ye Yuan virtually exhausted all of his means and could not withstand the storm''s invasion too.


    Finally, he was ravaged until there was not an intact spot on his body from top to bottom. If not for his powerful fleshly body and the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, Ye Yuan probably would not even have residue left.


    Even Ye Yuan himself also did not understand how he came out alive.


    "This old man wishes that you were dead! You, brat, were simply messing around too much!" Dustless said crossly.


    Scolding was scolding, but seeing Ye Yuan wake up, Dustless finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really passed through the spatial storm miraculously, and arrived at the Heavenspan World!


    This kind of thing, logically speaking, it was impossible to accomplish.


    Yet, it happened.


    Ye Yuan laughed embarrassedly and said, "Senior, don''t blame me. Didn''t I pull through? If we went back that time, it might be even worse than the current situation!"


    Dustless gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.


    Ye Yuan asked probingly, "Senior, have I �� arrived at the Heavenspan World?"


    Dustless grunted and said, "You were one lucky bastard! Absolute pure dumb luck!"


    This was equivalent to tacitly acknowledging Ye Yuan''s query. They really came to the Heavenspan World!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that his luck was really so good.


    "Haha, dumb luck is good too! Senior, how did we arrive at the Heavenspan World?" Ye Yuan said in pleasant surprise.


    Seeing Ye Yuan ask, Dustless fell silent too.


    Being able to come to the Heavenspan World, even he felt like he was having a dream.


    He really did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really passed through the spatial storm. This was something that had never happened before.


    An initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm rookie actually passed through a spatial storm. This was too inconceivable.


    "When you were unconscious, you just nice barged into the center of the spatial storm! Didn''t expect that the central area of the spatial storm was actually calm and peaceful, without even a hint of energy undulation. That''s how you escaped a disaster! You drifted in the center of the spatial storm for as long as half a year and was actually brought to the spatial rift that left to the Heavenspan World by accident! This series of events, apart from using pure dumb luck to describe, this old man seriously doesn''t know what to say," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan was also surprised when he heard it. He did not expect that this coma was actually half a year''s time already.


    It was really as Dustless said, his luck was truly good to the extreme.


    This was completely unconscious drifting. He might also be swept into a turbulent spatial flow and never come out again.


    He did not think that he actually came to the Heavenspan World just like that.


    Dustless suddenly continued, "But, for you to be able to barge into the heart of the spatial storm, this in itself was already a miracle! Kid, you really made this old man view you in a different light!"


    The more one went towards the center of the storm, the stronger the energy undulations.


    The region near the central zone, even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses had virtually no possibility of surviving too.


    But Ye Yuan relied on his own willpower and forcefully pulled through.


    Not that Ye Yuan''s strength was stronger than Divine Lord Realm, and also not that a Divine Lord Realm''s strength was weak, one could only say that Ye Yuan''s physiological attribute was too strong; his recovery ability was too strong. That was how he could accomplish this kind of virtually impossible thing.


    Ye Yuan possessed the azure dragon and black tortoise, two great divine beasts'' peak cultivation methods. That was the key to him breaking into the center of the storm!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, where are we now? My divine sense is unable to leave the body currently, and my eyes can''t see. I don''t know the outside world''s situation at all."


    Dustless recounted the events of him prior to being rescued by Liang Wanru, making Ye Yuan feel frightened for a while after the event.


    Drifting for half a year inside the spatial storm, Ye Yuan''s physical strength had already reached the limits.


    Any later and he probably would not have the chance to awaken at all.


    Actually, these few days, Dustless was also secretly fretful.


    It was just that he could not help Ye Yuan with anything at all, and could only leave it up to fate.


    Fortunately, Liang Wanru showed up.


    Within the spatial storm, Ye Yuan''s Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths, all suffered a devastating blow.


    Right now, he could not even let his divine sense leave his body. But viewing internally could still be done.


    Ye Yuan examined his body before knowing how terrible the situation was.


    After he broke through to the Deity Realm, his essence energy sea transformed to become a divine sea.


    But now, his divine sea was completely dry. Moreover, it suffered massive damage and was already unable to gather divine essence anymore.


    As for his fleshy body, being repeatedly ravaged by the energy inside the spatial storm, his recovery ability was already weakened to the extreme.


    He was unable to activate the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art at all currently.


    Cultivating all the way until now, Ye Yuan had yet to sustain such serious injuries before!


    One could say that he was basically equivalent to a cripple right now.


    "En? This �� This is a divine pill?" Ye Yuan suddenly said in surprise.


    Liang Wanru let Ye Yuan consume the Profound Essence Pill. But there was no divine essence within Ye Yuan''s body, and he could not refine the medicinal strength at all. He could only wait for the Profound Essence Pill''s medicinal strength to dissolve on its own. This process was very slow.


    This Profound Essence Pill was a healing medicine. It had tremendous benefits for the recovery of Ye Yuan''s physical body.


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not unleash the medicinal strength currently. Hence, the recovery was very slow.


    Ye Yuan''s lifelong pursuit was the Alchemy God Realm. At present, breaking through to the Deity Realm, he achieved Alchemy God.


    But he was completely clueless about divine pills!


    One could say that he had to start everything over from scratch now. It was completely different from that sort of enlightened cultivation practice in the past.


    A foreign world, foreign cultivation realms, even his most proficient medicinal pills, he was utterly ignorant too!


    However, in that instant, he sensed the divine pill, Ye Yuan became entranced!


    This �� was the medicinal pill that he sought all his life!


    Except, it seemed like it was also nothing much in the Heavenspan World.


    If Ye Yuan knew the value of this Profound Essence Pill, he probably would not say so.


    "Tsk, merely the lowest grade divine pill, what''s worth kicking a fuss about for?" Dustless said in disdain.


    Ye Yuan ignored him. He was already obsessed. He used divine essence to analyze the compositions of the Profound Essence Pill. But he discovered that he completely could not do it!


    He did not recognize it!


    The divine rank spirit medicines in the Immortal Grove World had long already disappeared without a trace. Ye Yuan had not seen before divine rank spirit medicines.


    Occasionally, the names of some divine pills, he had still seen before on books and records. But the specifics of the refining method, there wasn''t as well.


    "Senior, you know this kind of divine pill? What''s divine pill is this? Use what to refine? Do you know the refining method? ��"


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, he asked a whole bunch of professional questions.Basically, different from how he reincarnated as Ye Yuan. Now, there''s a brand new cultivation system.

 1291 Out of My League

    Dustless finally knew why Ye Yuan could trigger the Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao, and from there, obtain the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao''s recognition.


    This nuttiness really made him collapse!


    If to say alchemists were all lunatics, then Ye Yuan was the lunatic among lunatics!


    Ye Yuan used two hours'' time, turning the Profound Essence Pill inside out before he was finally satisfied.


    However, only then did Ye Yuan know that with his current strength, he could not refine the Profound Essence Pill at all.


    Furthermore, he completely had no understanding of divine rank spirit medicines'' medicinal properties. Even if one really placed the spirit medicines in front of him, he could not possibly refine it either.


    The current Ye Yuan was a complete and utter alchemy path newbie!


    Finally, Dustless said huffily, "You''d best hurry up and refine the Profound Essence Pill! At this rate, you''ll be a cripple in the future!"


    Only then did Ye Yuan come back to his senses and discovered that Dustless''s words were right.


    With his current body condition, if he did not quickly refine the medicinal pill, he might really be a cripple in the future.


    However, Ye Yuan discovered to his dismay that his body completely did not have divine essence, and was unable to quickly refine the medicinal pills at all.


    Fortunately, he regained consciousness and was able to guide his fleshy body to draw on the power of the medicinal pill.


    Although the recovery speed this way was a little slow, it was much faster than absorbing unconsciously.


    This Profound Essence Pill was indeed worthy of being a high-grade tier 1 divine pill. The medicinal effects were indeed powerful.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan''s fingers finally moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.


    What came into view was a delicate and beautiful young maiden.


    Liang Wanru was currently looking at Ye Yuan. Seeing Ye Yuan wake up, a hint of surprise flickered across her eyes too.


    "Was �� was it you who saved me?"


    Opening the mouth to speak was different from communicating with divine sense. Ye Yuan discovered that he found it difficult to even speak, his throat smoldering.


    Liang Wanru hurriedly went to get some water. Ye Yuan directly drank a large flask of water before feeling slightly better.


    "Was it you who saved me?" Ye Yuan asked again.


    Liang Wanru nodded her head.


    Ye Yuan was stunned, only then, recalling that the other party was mute.


    Liang Wanru had the poise of a willow and a beautiful face. It was too bad that she could not open her mouth and talk.


    "Many thanks for the life-saving grace! Great kindness can''t be thanked with words. When Ye Yuan''s injuries recover fully, I''ll definitely repay Miss!" Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    Liang Wanru beamed, but shook her head.


    Ye Yuan knew that she wanted to say that saving him was not for the sake of repayment.


    At this time, Liang Wanrong''s mocking cold laugh sounded out at one side. She said, "How laughable! Your divine sea is already ruined, fleshly body is already disabled; you''re already a cripple. To actually still want to make such an empty promise. My good elder sister, looks like you rescued a boastful fellow!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed; he already got to know about this Liang Wanrong from Dustless.


    When Liang Wanru rescued him, Liang Wanrong was strongly opposed and even threatened not to care about the two of them.


    These two sisters'' disparity was really not an ordinary kind of huge.


    One was gentle and kind, while the other was not just vicious like a viper, but was at the very least cold and heartless as one too.


    Liang Wanru smiled apologetically at Ye Yuan. Clearly, she was apologizing for her sister''s rudeness.


    Ye Yuan sighed in his heart, but then she asked: "You gave me the Profound Essence Pill, I''ll definitely think of a way to return the Profound Essence Pill to you!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan completely ignored her, Liang Wanrong could not help flying into a great rage and berated, "Terrific lad, you dare to ignore this miss? Do you believe this miss will throw you out of the fleet right now and let you run your own course?"


    Ye Yuan had yet to say anything, but Liang Wanru blocked in front of Ye Yuan, using a stubborn gaze to look at her sister.


    Her resolve to protect Ye Yuan already did not need to go into details.


    But when Liang Wanrong saw this, she suddenly started giggling and said, "Hehehe �� My good elder sister, you wouldn''t have taken fancy on this pretty boy, right? Uh �� When just rescued, his face was covered in bloodstains; it was too awful to look at. Looking now, he''s good-looking little pretty boy! Hehe, a mute, a cripple, it''s a match made in heaven!"


    Liang Wanrong found it funnier the more she thought. The more she thought, the more she felt that this idea was pretty good, laughing herself into fits.


    But Liang Wanru was ashamed and angry, her chest heaving non-stop.


    It was just that she could not talk and was totally unable to refute Liang Wanrong''s words.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Miss Wanru is beautiful, magnanimous, and kind-hearted. If any man can marry her, that''s his blessing. But Miss Wanrong �� hur hur."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said nothing, but did not carry on speaking.


    A ''hur hur'' already expressed the disdainful attitude incisively and vividly.


    With this, Liang Wanrong directly jumped up!


    She boasted of being beautiful as a flower and absolutely did not lose to Liang Wanru. Her status in the Liang Family was God knows how many times stronger compared to Liang Wanru.


    This punk actually looked down on her!


    "Stinking brat, you make it clear for this miss! What''s the meaning of your ''hur hur''?" Liang Wanrong already reached the edge of rampaging.


    Liang Wanrong actually did not have much cunningness. These few years in the Liang Family, it was mostly her mother managing affairs.


    Her despise towards her elder sister was already written on the face. Anyone could tell.


    If she had any deviousness, she absolutely would not express it so obviously.


    Therefore, even though she clearly knew that Ye Yuan would not say anything good, she still wanted to hear.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Nothing, the meaning is that you, Miss Wanrong �� are out of this Ye''s league!"


    That sarcastic tone of Ye Yuan''s was practically almost blowing Liang Wanrong up.


    He was clearly saying that you''re inferior to your sister in every way, even if given to me, I would not even want!


    In the Jewelhill City, the young masters that came to matchmake at least had to line-up a long street!


    This guy actually looked down on her!


    "You! You! You, a cripple, actually dare to look down on this miss? Zhang Shun, kill this guy for me and throw him at the roadside to feed the dogs!"


    Liang Wanrong was also accustomed to being domineering, killing people at a word of disagreement.


    "This ��" Zhang Shun said hesitantly.


    Zhang Shun also had his head swell up when he saw. They were just household guards. These two little ancestors having a conflict, it made things very difficult for him being clamped in the middle.


    Even though the second miss'' status in the Liang Family was very high, he knew that his master still favored the eldest miss a little more.


    With this, no one could be offended.


    "Still in a daze for what? Zhang Shun, you aren''t even obeying this miss'' words anymore?" Liang Wanrong glared at Zhang Shun and said.


    Finished talking, Liang Wanrong directly lifted a foot and actually struck Liang Wanru''s chest directly, kicking her flying out.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold, killing intent surging.


    When Liang Wanrong saw this scene, she said with a cold smile, "A cripple still dares to glare at this miss? Do you believe that this miss will dig your eyeballs out right now? Humph! If you all are not making a move, this miss will do it myself!"


    Done talking, Liang Wanrong closed in on Ye Yuan. She took out a glinting little blade and went for Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Although Ye Yuan was able to open his mouth and speak, he could not move at all.


    That kick of Liang Wanrong was very appropriate, kicking until Liang Wanru could not get up.


    With this, nobody could protect Ye Yuan anymore.


    The Ye Yuan lying on the carriage was just a lamp awaiting slaughter.


    Liang Wanrong dangled the knife in front of Ye Yuan and said with a hideous grin, "Glare! Glare some more! In a minute, you won''t be able to glare anymore!"

 1292 Shaming Bystanders to Death

    Liang Wanru panicked. She struggled, wanting to get up. But this kick was truly not light, she actually could not get up.


    Watching that knife get closer and closer to Ye Yuan''s eyes, Liang Wanru started sobbing from anxiety.


    Zhang Shun and the rest also looked at this scene helplessly. This missus was notorious for being cruel and cold-hearted. This boy actually dared to provoke the second miss, truly tired of living.


    Glimpsing Liang Wanru''s expression with her peripherals, Liang Wanrong felt pleased with herself inwardly.


    Liang Wanru being like this was what she wanted to see the most.


    That appearance that remained indifferent to favor or disgrace, she hated it the most!


    Liang Wanrong raised the knife and stabbed down viciously.


    Everyone all could not bear to look at this scene, turning their heads over.


    But after waiting for a long time, they did not hear Ye Yuan''s scream either.


    Turning around and looking, each and every one of them could not help widening their eyes.


    Bang!


    The knife was thrown onto the ground. A hint of lust actually surfaced on Liang Wanrong''s face.


    Her gaze was blurry, her face scarlet red. Her two hands actually started fondling on her body. A pair of hazy eyes stared straight at Zhang Shun, making goosebumps break out all over his body.


    "Second Miss, you ��"


    Zhang Shun instinctively sensed that it was not good. Second Miss''s mannerism was clearly the tempo of going into heat!


    Sure enough, the second miss came to Zhang Shun''s side with a lunge and directly wrapped around his waist, raised her head, and kissed Zhang Shun madly.


    "Big Brother Shun, Rong-er has liked you for a long time! You �� take Rong-er, alright? Alright?''"


    Liang Wanrong''s voice made Zhang Shun''s bones go soft.


    All of the guards were utterly dumbfounded. This �� What kind of situation was this?


    Truthfully speaking, Liang Wanrong was very beautiful, and it was also this coquettish attitude making her irresistible. How could Zhang Shun be unmoved?


    Except, it was merely being tempted.


    So many people watching, wasn''t it wanting his life?


    Zhang Shun''s face turned pale with fright, hurriedly wanting to push Liang Wanrong away. But Liang Wanrong stuck onto him like a dog-skin plaster and refused to let go no matter what.


    Liang Wanrong''s status in the Liang Family was extraordinary. Zhang Shun did not dare to deal a heavy blow either. His entire person almost went crazy.


    "What are you guys still standing around for? Quickly pull Second Miss away!"


    Zhang Shun''s scalp tingled and completely did not have the excitement of a beautiful girl delivering herself to the doorstep. If this were to be conveyed back to the Liang Family and be known by that shrew, he would be dead for sure.


    Only then did the group of guards awaken from the dream and hurriedly went forward to pull Liang Wanrong away.


    Liang Wanrong struggled and pulled Zhang Shun''s clothes desperately, not letting go.


    Fortunately, the guards'' strengths were strong enough. The group of people swarmed forward before they could pull her off.


    The current Liang Wanrong was disheveled, her upper body revealing large patches of snow-white skin, making the group of guards drool.


    "Big Brother Shun, Rong-er really likes you a lot! Take Rong-er!"


    Although being restrained, Liang Wanrong still pestered incessantly with infatuation.


    Zhang Shun smoothed out his clothes, came before Liang Wanrong, and said with a salute, "Second Miss, sorry!"


    Done talking, he chopped a palm at Liang Wanrong''s neck area. Liang Wanrong toppled with a grunt.


    Finished doing these, Zhang Shun walked straight towards Ye Yuan.


    After this bout of struggle, Liang Wanru finally recovered and got up from the ground.


    Seeing this scene, she reached her hand out again and blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    Zhang Shun was stunned and said with a salute, "Eldest Miss, you also saw Second Miss''s condition, this brat''s origins are unknown. There''s a peculiarity. He''s probably not some good person! It isn''t good for you to defend him like this, right?"


    Liang Wanru''s beautiful eyes flickered. Turning back and giving Ye Yuan a glance, she saw Ye Yuan''s calm appearance. She turned her head around and gestured towards Zhang Shun.


    She pointed at Liang Wanrong. The meaning was that this incident was Liang Wanrong''s fault.


    Zhang Shun felt his head swell. This matter, he saw it from beginning to end and naturally knew that it was Liang Wanrong finding trouble.


    But Liang Wanru could say these words. He could not say it.


    He was just a subordinate and could only turn the spearhead to Ye Yuan whose background was unknown.


    However, he also did not perceive how Ye Yuan did it.


    According to Dustless, these people were merely just a bunch of mortals.


    Even though they were Dao Profound Realm mortals!


    When he heard this theory, Ye Yuan also jumped in fright.


    Dustless said that in the Heavenspan World, the realm when a martial artist was born, was mostly determined by the parents.


    For example, the union of two Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses, the descendants born would at the minimum be Divine Lord Realm too. There was even a certain chance of giving birth to a True God Realm powerhouse!


    In the legends, there were even Heavenly Emperor descendants who were born as empyreans!


    Being True God Realm at birth, this was already winning on the starting line. Empyrean Realm was even more inconceivable.


    At that time, Ye Yuan also found it fantastical.


    The union of two ordinary Deity Realm powerhouses, the descendants born were mostly in the Dao Profound Realm.


    Of course, the lowest was also being in the Dao Profound Realm.


    Those in the Dao Profound Realm were called mortals in the Heavenspan World!


    In the Immortal Grove World, the realm that the vast majority of martial artists pursued all their lives was also just mortals in this place.


    But in the Heavenspan World, wanting to cultivate to the Deity Realm was far easier than the Immortal Grove World.


    But even so, the greatest numbers in the Heavenspan World were still ''mortals.''


    Among this group of people, there was only one Deity Realm powerhouse, which was Zhang Shun.


    Hence, even though Ye Yuan was unable to move, utilizing the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil to make Liang Wanrong succumb did not even count as the effort it took to raise a hand.


    Liang Wanru''s protection made things very difficult for Zhang Shun.


    "Boy, what on earth did you do to the second miss?" Zhang Shun''s gaze went past Liang Wanru and looked at Ye Yuan as he said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Is Guard Zhang mistaken about something? I can''t even move right now, my divine essence completely lost. What do you think I can do? In my view, it should be that Miss Wanrong is really in love with Guard Zhang, right? Guard Zhang doesn''t have to be unduly humble either. You''re at any rate a Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouse and already transcended mortals. Even if something really happens with Miss Wanrong, it won''t humiliate her either."


    Zhang Shun''s face fell, he knew that Ye Yuan was talking rubbish.


    Yet, Ye Yuan has spoken it so logically.


    He had been staring at Ye Yuan all along just now and was confident that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to do anything that he did not know under his eyelids.


    In truth, Ye Yuan really did not utilize a trace of divine essence.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to Deity Realm, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil recovered to the Deity Realm naturally.


    With its cultivation, how could dealing with a mortal require utilizing any divine essence?


    "Humph! Do you really take this Zhang to be easy to hoodwink? In this place, apart from you, who else would deal with Second Miss?" Zhang Shun said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Guard Zhang, you got to speak with conscience! You said that I did it, there has got to be proof, right?"


    Ye Yuan did not think that Zhang Shun knew about the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil''s existence. This kind of ocular art was a matter between the two people. Outsiders could not detect it at all.


    With Liang Wanru around, Zhang Shun did not dare to be too impudent as well.


    After a long time, he did not find any evidence either to prove that Liang Wanrong going mad was caused by Ye Yuan, and could only drop it.


    Around ten o''clock in the evening, Liang Wanrong slowly woke up and discovered that the surrounding guards'' gazes became odd.


    She was suddenly startled, recalling her disgraceful scene during the day. Her face immediately flushed bright red.

 1293 Sisterly Affection

    "I �� I''m going to kill you, lecher!"


    Under shame and rage, Liang Wanrong raised a sword and stabbed over towards Ye Yuan.


    But halfway there, she noticed that Ye Yuan was currently looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.


    Liang Wanrong was suddenly startled, her figure abruptly stopping. Her gaze that looked at Ye Yuan was full of fear.


    Liang Wanrong felt a cool breeze at her back, secretly thinking that it was a close call.


    During the day, she fell for it without understanding anything and did not even know how she succumbed.


    But she was certain that it was absolutely related to Ye Yuan!


    "Zhang Shun ��"


    Liang Wanrong was just about to order Zhang Shun when she suddenly remembered her actions during the day, her face flushing even redder.


    Liang Wanrong even felt that even if the one she acted indecently to was Ye Yuan, it would have more face than Zhang Shun.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s identity was unknown, while Zhang Shun was a subordinate.


    With this, she was really in a dilemma.


    The one in a dilemma was not just her, there was also Zhang Shun and the group of guards.


    Zhang Shun was an experienced veteran in the end and suddenly said, "Second Miss, ahead is the Myriad Beast Forest! At this time, we''ll require you and Eldest Miss to cooperate to be able to lead us through together!"


    Liang Wanrong was not an idiot in the end. Seeing that there was a way out, she hurriedly said, "Mm, what you said is right!"


    ...


    After resting, the group of people entered the Myriad Beast Forest.


    The Myriad Beast Forest was not a safe place. There were quite a number of divine beasts inside!


    The divine beasts that were extinct in the Immortal Grove World were everywhere in the Heavenspan World!


    Inside the Myriad Beast Forest were mostly ordinary demonic beasts. But the divine beasts that occasionally appeared were human martial artists'' nightmare.


    After entering the Myriad Beast Forest, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed Zhang Shun becoming alert.


    The awkwardness from before was already completely replaced by solemnness.


    The Profound Essence Pill was worthy of being a high-grade Tier 1 divine pill. After several days, Ye Yuan could already get down and walk around.


    Even though he did not look much different from the average person, he was at least able to move already.


    "Miss Wanru, could you let this Ye diagnose your pulse? This Ye is an alchemist. Maybe I can help you!" On the carriage, Ye Yuan told her this.


    Ye Yuan''s temperament had always been very easy-going. Liang Wanru did not have the intention of avoiding and nodded her head to allow it.


    After a round of diagnosing, Ye Yuan''s brows also knitted together.


    The matter did not seem to be as simple as he imagined. Ye Yuan searched through the medicinal pills that he grasped and discovered that there was not a kind that was able to resolve Liang Wanru''s symptoms.


    Logically speaking, for hereditary deaf and mute, one could use medicinal pills to resolve. It was not a big deal in the Immortal Grove World.


    However, Liang Wanru''s body''s situation seemed to be totally different from the Immortal Grove World!


    This kind of innate muteness required the power of laws to resolve!


    But Ye Yuan was completely clueless about divine pills!


    His trumpet seemed to be blown a little too loudly.


    Previously, Ye Yuan also thought that treating Liang Wanru''s muteness was very easy. Looking at it now, it was not that simple.


    "Senior, for Miss Wanru''s situation, is there a low-grade Tier 1 divine pill that can resolve it?" Ye Yuan asked Dustless.


    Ye Yuan already knew that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove had extraordinary attainments in Alchemy Dao.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s reliance!


    Only with sufficient strong soul force could one have sufficiently great attainments in Alchemy Dao!


    Dustless said, "That is, of course! In my view, when this Liang Wanru was born, she should have suffered an undeserved calamity, that''s why it resulted in this kind of situation! The descendants of Deity Realm powerhouses, even if a mortal, would not have this kind of situation occur either! Liang Wanru''s situation belongs to absent laws. The low-grade Tier 1 divine pill, Wisdomless Pill, can resolve this kind of situation."


    Ye Yuan muttered, "Wisdomless Pill? Senior Dustless, I wonder how should this medicinal pill be refined?"


    The only divine pill that Ye Yuan could refine right now was the Dao Defying Pill.


    Wisdomless Pill, he had not even heard of it before. Naturally, refining it was out of the question.


    Alchemy Dao, on the one hand, it was comprehending Heavenly Dao. On the other hand, it was a deep understanding of spirit medicines.


    The two aspects were indispensable!


    Ye Yuan''s comprehensions towards Alchemy Dao might have barely managed to reach the level. But regarding spirit medicines, he was utterly clueless.


    Dustless listed several kinds of spirit medicines. Ye Yuan simply had never heard of them before!


    Harboring the mentality of giving it a try, Ye Yuan said to Liang Wanru, "Miss Wanru, I wonder if you''re familiar with the Heart Linking Grass, Tian Wang Branch, Purple Caltrop, these three types of spirit medicines or not?"


    Liang Wanru was rather surprised. But after staring blankly, she walked to a carriage and pointed at a wooden box.


    "This is �� the Heart Linking Grass?"


    Under Dustless'' guidance, Ye Yuan knew about the origins of the spirit medicine inside this box.


    Divine rank spirit medicine, Heart Linking Grass!


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out towards that wooden box but was stopped by Zhang Shun halfway.


    "Boy! On account of Eldest Miss''s face, I must give it! But these spirit medicines are all items that Master purchased. They are very important! If you want to touch, don''t blame this Zhang for not being courteous!"


    Zhang Shun''s words were full of disdain!


    A cripple who was unable to even gather divine essence actually wanted to poke his nose into divine rank spirit medicines, what was this if not a toad luster after swan meat?


    These divine rank spirit medicines were all the Liang Family''s important material reserves. How could he allow a stranger to encroach on it?


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "So that''s how it is! It was this Ye who was rude!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan stepped aside and really did not touch those spirit medicines anymore.


    Zhang Shun was stunned, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so forthright.


    But very soon, the expression on his face changed, and he shouted, "Stop!"


    Liang Wanrong said in puzzlement, "Guard Zhang, what is it?"


    Zhang Shun''s expression was solemn as he said, "Something is not right!"


    "What''s not right? Isn''t it pretty alright like this now?" Liang Wanrong said.


    Zhang Shun said, "It''s precisely because it''s like this, that something is amiss! Passing through the Myriad Beast Forest, things absolutely won''t be so quiet! Along the way, even if we''re any more careful, we''ll encounter the obstruction of demonic beasts too! The quieter it is, the more amiss the situation is!"


    Liang Wanrong knew that Zhang Shun was a veteran in this area.


    Since he said so, then it was definitely a sure thing.


    Zhang Shun''s voice had yet to fade when shadows loomed from inside the forest. Those figures that disappeared and reappeared again like smoke already utterly surrounded Ye Yuan''s party.


    Among them, there were faintly several powerful undulations. They were divine beasts without a doubt!


    Zhang Shun''s expression was incomparably ugly, and he said with a solemn look, "Second Miss, this seems to be �� a beast tide!"


    Liang Wanrong''s face changed. She had naturally heard the reputation of the beast tide before.


    Demonic beasts that covered the hills and filled the plains surrounded them, making it hard for them to escape even with wings!


    Liang Wanrong never thought that she would actually encounter this kind of thing.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Hordes of wild beasts'' roars echoed throughout the entire Myriad Beast Forest.


    They were already completely surrounded by these demonic beasts!


    Right at this time, Liang Wanrong suddenly walked towards Liang Wanru and said with a bitter smile, "Elder Sister, didn''t expect that we fought for so much, but would actually perish in this place together!"


    Liang Wanru froze, her eyes immediately revealing a gentle look.


    A person''s words were nice when near death, birds cry plaintively before they died too.


    She did not expect that Liang Wanrong actually thoroughly saw the light at this time!


    Liang Wanru smiled slightly and shook her head, indicating that she did not mind.


    Liang Wanrong took Liang Wanru''s hand and said with a sigh, "Elder Sister, in the past, it was all my fault. Don''t hate me, okay?"


    Liang Wanru nodded her head, a look of relief on her face.


    Chiii ��


    But right at this time, the sound of a blade being drawn sounded out.


    "Hahaha �� demonic beasts are extremely sensitive towards fresh blood. My good elder sister, if you die, it can let this younger sister escape alive! We can also be considered deeply affectionate sisters!" Liang Wanrong said with a loud laugh.

 1294 You Guys Are Too Slow!

    This blade was undeniably planned. One cut directly severed Liang Wanru''s aorta. Blood immediately gushed out in torrents.


    Even though these demonic beasts were Tier 9, they were like the Immortal Grove World''s desolate beasts, savage and yet to become civilized.


    Sensing the taste of blood, all of them indeed pounced over towards Liang Wanru crazily.


    That instant just now, Ye Yuan almost believed it too!


    Did not expect that this Liang Wanrong was actually as venomous as a viper, feeding her elder sister to the tiger''s maws to let herself escape!


    Liang Wanrong swept past, her figure already a thousand feet away.


    "Zhang Shun, let''s go!"


    "Second Miss, this ��"


    "What? Do you have the confidence to deal with this beast tide?"


    Zhang Shun shook his head. This was a certain-death situation!


    "Then what are you still waiting for? Doesn''t my good elder sister like that gigolo? Becoming a pair with him and having the same fate, Elder Sister should be thanking me!" Liang Wanrong said with a sneer.


    Zhang Shun gave a glance over there pitifully. he let out a sigh and led the group of guards break out of the encirclement.


    Over there, Liang Wanru''s and Ye Yuan''s profiles could not be seen already, completely engulfed by the frenzied demonic beasts.


    A hint of a smug smile flashed across the corners of Liang Wanrong''s mouth. Finally, that annoying woman die!


    Even though the majority of the demonic beasts were attracted by Liang Wanru, there were still quite a number of demonic beasts in the surroundings. It was not that easy for them to want to escape.


    The group of guards fought desperately. In the blink of an eye, they broke out several miles away.


    "Second Miss, it''s not right! Why do I feel like the demonic beasts are getting more and more, unable to kill them entirely!" Zhang Shun said with a solemn expression.


    Liang Wanrong clearly also realized this problem, her expression becoming very ugly.


    "It''s all that slut, couldn''t even delay for a moment! Really useless! Don''t be long-winded anymore! Hurry up and charge outside. Otherwise, none of us can escape!" Liang Wanrong said fiercely.


    Everyone did not dare to dawdle, making a concerted effort to break through.


    Zhang Shun indeed deserved to be a Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouse. Walking among these Tier 9 demonic beasts was akin to entering an unpopulated land unobstructed.


    However, the demonic beasts'' numbers were seriously too many to kill finish!


    "Roar!"


    An enormous roar came over. Zhang Shun''s expression suddenly changed.


    He could judge from this pressure that it was absolutely a divine beast!


    An afterimage flashed past, Zhang Shun''s expression changed drastically and instinctively blocked it.


    Boom!


    The powerful Zhang Shun was directly knocked flying out, spewing out a mouthful of golden blood.


    This was the special hallmark of Deity Realm powerhouses!


    "It''s a Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard!" Zhang Shun cried out in shock.


    A Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard could be said to be overlord-rank demonic beasts in the forest. Its figure was not large, but its speed was incomparably strange. It was practically two to three times of human martial artists in the same realm!


    Once tangled with it, there was virtually no possibility of survival!


    Hence, that was why Zhang Shun would be so shocked.


    The other people''s faces all revealed looks of despair. With the Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard here, they virtually did not have the possibility of escaping.


    Zhang Shun sucked in a deep breath. A hint of ferociousness flashed across his eyes, and he said, "You all protect Second Miss to break through! I''ll cover the rear and deal with this beast!"


    This Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard''s strength was very formidable. Battling together with Zhang Shun, it firmly overpowered Zhang Shun.


    The party retreated as they fought. The guards were either injured or dead.


    This beast tide''s scale was not considered large, but it was also not what a martial artist team of several dozen people could withstand.


    After a great battle, Zhang Shun was overpowered by the Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard until he could not catch his breath. Very soon, he was covered all over with wounds.


    The guard team was surrounded by large numbers of demonic beasts and already had no way out. The numbers were dwindling.


    The originally close to a hundred people team was only left with over 20 people.


    Just as everyone lost all hope, the group of demonic beasts suddenly stopped the attacks.


    Even the Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard also stopped its attacks against Zhang Shun.


    Zhang Shun''s breathing was ragged, dark golden-colored bloodstains everywhere on his body.


    Under everyone''s protection, Liang Wanrong was slightly better than the rest. But it was also just a little better.


    The current Liang Wanrong was dressed in tattered clothes. Quite a number of places were ripped apart by demonic beasts, just like a beggar.


    Although the group of demonic beasts stopped the assault, they surrounded and did not attack, and did not have the intention of letting everyone go.


    "Second Miss, are you alright?" Zhang Shun asked.


    "I''m still alright. Zhang Shun, what''s this situation?" Liang Wanrong said with a gloomy look.


    Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "I don''t know! The demonic beasts in a beast tide are all in a berserk state. Logically speaking, this kind of situation won''t happen. Looking at these demonic beasts'' appearance, a beast king might have appeared."


    Zhang Shun was a veteran and made his own judgment on this situation.


    It was just that this judgment made everyone despair.


    A Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard was enough for them to choke on already. A beast king that even it had to steer clear of? What would it be like?


    Liang Wanrong''s face revealed a look of unwillingness. She did not imagine that that disappointing elder sister could not even delay for a while. What a good-for-nothing!


    As for Ye Yuan, she thought even lesser of him.


    Just a cripple, he would probably be torn to pieces by those demonic beasts instantly.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    ...


    The entire Myriad Beast Forest started quaking from these heavy footsteps.


    These demonic beasts all trembled incessantly, lowering their proud heads.


    A beast king passing through, myriad beasts prostrated in worship!


    The faces of Zhang Shun and the rest became even more incredibly ugly. This commotion, there was definitely an even more powerful divine beast appearing!


    A giant elephant approached from far away, entering everyone''s line of sight.


    Even that Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard also opened up a path, clearly incredibly wary of this giant elephant.


    "It''s a Devilheaven Giant Elephant! This Devilheaven Giant Elephant is a late-stage rank one divine beast!" Zhang Shun exclaimed.


    That Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard was merely an initial-stage rank one divine beast.


    A late-stage rank one demonic beast was sufficient to become the beast king among these demonic beasts already!


    No wonder these demonic beasts all submitted in worship.


    "Your Excellency, you look on that Devilheaven Giant Elephant''s back, seems like there''s somebody!" a subordinate suddenly said to Zhang Shun.


    Zhang Shun was startled and could not help looking over at that elephant''s back. Sure enough, he discovered two silhouettes.


    It was just because of the angle, he could not see those two figures clearly.


    But without a doubt, there were really people riding on the elephant''s back!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    A late-stage rank one Devilheaven Giant Elephant''s strength was incomparably fearsome.


    Even in Jewelhill City, the martial artists capable of rivaling it were not many either.


    But now, there was actually someone riding on its back!


    Divine beasts and ordinary demonic beasts were different. Each one was incomparably noble.


    Even if the martial artist''s strength was stronger than them, it was also impossible to allow the other party to ride on its back!


    Unless the martial artist''s strength was powerful to a certain degree and subdued the Devilheaven Giant Elephant to become a mount.


    Could it be that the strength of those two people on the elephant''s back was actually so formidable?


    Zhang Shun''s face suddenly revealed a look of wild elation, and he said to Liang Wanrong, "Second Miss, perhaps we''re not fated to die!"


    Liang Wanrong was thrilled and immediately understood Zhang Shun''s meaning. She shouted in the Devilheaven Giant Elephant''s direction in a clear voice, "Seniors, this junior is the daughter of Jewelhill City''s Liang Family. I, unfortunately, encountered this beast tide when passing through the Myriad Beast Forest. Hope that two seniors can take action to rescue us. The Liang Family will definitely thank the two seniors considerably!"


    The Liang Family''s influence in the Jewelhill City area was still very great. Liang Wanrong believed that the other party definitely heard of the Liang Family''s great name before.


    At this time, the Devilheaven Giant Elephant came close. A mocking voice came from on top of the elephant''s back, "You guys are too slow. Why have you only walked this far?"

 1295 The Kind Wanru

    Liang Wanrong, Zhang Shun, and the group of guards, their eyes became wide-saucers, staring at those two figures on the elephant''s back in disbelief.


    They even doubted it if they saw things wrongly or not!


    The ones riding on the elephant''s back were none other than precisely the Ye Yuan and Liang Wanru, whom they thought had long already perished in the beast tide.


    Liang Wanrong was dumbfounded. She did not expect that the ''seniors'' she begged were the two of them!


    But how was this possible?


    What they were riding was a late-stage rank one divine beast!


    Two good-for-nothings actually subdued a divine beast?


    "How can you guys �� How can ��"


    Liang Wanrong muttered under her breath, still not believing the truth that she saw in front of her.


    Not just her, Zhang Shun also had a look of bewilderment. The Devilheaven Giant Elephant was very violent. It could be said to kill on sight. It was actually subdued by the two of them.


    Ye Yuan gave them a glance and said with a faint smile, "You guys carry on playing, we''re just passing through and won''t disturb you all."


    Liang Wanrong was alarmed inwardly. Once Ye Yuan left, they would be dead for sure.


    "Elder Sister, I''m your younger sister! Could it be that you''re going to watch your own biological sister be killed by these demonic beasts and do nothing?" Liang Wanrong yelled.


    Liang Wanrong was very smart. She knew that Ye Yuan would not save her, but Liang Wanru would!


    Sure enough, Liang Wanru''s lovely body trembled and used a pleading gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    That meaning was already very clear.


    She hoped for Ye Yuan to save Liang Wanrong!


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly. This girl was seriously too kind.


    Even if Liang Wanrong treated her like that, she chose to tolerate it too.


    However, Ye Yuan was not so kind-hearted.


    This kind of viper-hearted woman, once he saved her, it might stir up some incidents in the future.


    "Heh, using your own elder sister as bait to exchange for a chance for you to escape. Miss Wanrong, you''re really a good sister! Now, you want to exploit Miss Wanru''s kindness again?"


    Liang Wanrong bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. It was truly a sight that made people unable to help showing tender care.


    "Sister, I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong! Just now, Wanrong was muddled for a moment too, that''s why I would do that kind of thing that''s worse than pigs or dogs! Sniff, sniff ��"


    As she said, Liang Wanrong started sniveling. That appearance was delicate and touching.


    Liang Wanru indeed softened her heart. She reached out her fair fingers and tugged the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves, the imploring look in her eyes even thicker.


    Seeing this scene, Liang Wanrong secretly rejoiced.


    This foolish elder sister was really a goody-two-shoes!


    There was a chance!


    Ye Yuan was silent and did not speak. Liang Wanru increased her strength again, tugging the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves. Tears were almost about to burst out.


    Ye Yuan heaved a slight sigh and said, "Alright, I hope that you don''t regret it!"


    Experiencing two lifetimes, Ye Yuan understood human nature too well.


    Liang Wanrong, this kind of person, absolutely belonged to that incorrigible category.


    Saving her today, not only would she not be grateful, she might even harbor resentment instead.


    Seeing Ye Yuan relent, Liang Wanrong and the group of guards all revealed looks of wild ecstasy on their faces.


    "Great! Thank you! Thank you, Brother-In-Law!"


    Liang Wanrong blurted out, directly calling Ye Yuan as her brother-in-law.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart. Liang Wanrong''s performance was too clumsy in his eyes.


    Want to act, also got to act more realistically. Cover up that hint of killing intent in your eyes, alright?


    However, Liang Wanru blushed heavily and waved her hands repeatedly.


    The two of them were sitting on the elephant''s back currently, one in front, one at the back. Although Ye Yuan was very proper, it was indeed somewhat ambiguous.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Guys, make way!"


    Under Ye Yuan''s order, those demonic beasts indeed clamored to open up a path.


    Seeing this scene, Zhang Shun''s eyes popped out!


    He thought that these demonic beasts were afraid of the Devilheaven Giant Elephant. Looking at it now, they were actually afraid of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan was merely a cripple whose divine sea was crippled. How could he possibly make these demonic beasts fear him like so?


    On what basis?


    More importantly, among these demonic beasts, there was even the Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard and Devilheaven Giant Elephant, this kind of divine beasts!


    How could Zhang Shun know that even though Ye Yuan''s cultivation was completely wasted, the dragon race aura on his body was still there?


    Dustless had said that the dragon race was an extremely noble divine beast bloodline even in the Heavenspan World too.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to Deity Realm, his bloodline already evolved to divine rank.


    How could these demonic beasts in the Myriad Beast Forest dare to be unbridled in front of him?


    A mere beast tide was nothing to fear to Ye Yuan at all.


    Yet, Liang Wanrong fancied herself smart and played out a disgusting scene, completely exposing her nature.


    Zhang Shun stared at Ye Yuan, his gaze full of fear.


    This man that came out of God knows where seemed to be very extraordinary!


    He felt more and more that Ye Yuan was an enigmatic existence.


    Clearly could not even condense divine essence, but his means emerged in endless streams.


    To be able to make the demonic beasts in the beast tide afraid to such an extent, even Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses could not do it too!


    "Zhang Shun thanks Brother Ye for your life-saving grace on behalf of my brothers! Where I''ve offended previously, I hope that Brother Ye is magnanimous enough to forgive!" Zhang Shun bowed toward Ye Yuan and said with a salute.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Want to thank, thank Miss Wanru. With my temper, I absolutely won''t save you all."


    Zhang Shun could not help choking up. He did not think that Ye Yuan was so apathetic about giving face.


    But at this time, it was also not up to him to not be unhappy. Hence, he gave thanks to Liang Wanru again.


    Ye Yuan and Liang Wanru, the two of them, rode the Devilheaven Giant Elephant and passed right through the Myriad Beast Forest before putting it back.


    Along the way, it was awe-inspiring.


    Liang Wanrong could not even straighten her legs when riding in front of the Devilheaven Giant Elephant. She could only drag her injured body and walk together with the group of guards.


    Along the way, she was also much more obedient and did not dare to be as arrogant and bossy as before.


    When the Devilheaven Giant Elephant left, it even raised its trunk, like it was paying tribute to Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this scene, the group of guards could not help clicking their tongues in wonder.


    This scene, they had never seen before yet.


    These few days, Ye Yuan already completely absorbed the medicinal strength of the Profound Essence Pill. But due to him being too heavily injured this time, his fleshy body only recovered 40-50%.


    Traveling several more days, this party finally arrived at Jewelhill City!


    Zhang Shun clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "Brother Ye, this place is Jewelhill City already. I wonder what your plans are?"


    Ye Yuan gave Liang Wanru a glance and said, "Miss Wanru''s life-saving grace, this Ye hasn''t repaid yet. How about I go to the Liang Family together with you all, may I?"


    Ye Yuan originally planned on parting ways with this group of people after coming to Jewelhill City.


    As for Liang Wanru''s life-saving grace, he would naturally repay it in the future.


    But now, he could not quite feel reassured about Liang Wanru. He could only enter the Liang Family together with her.


    Actually, Zhang Shun hoped for Ye Yuan to leave. He was very apprehensive towards Ye Yuan right now. Furthermore, along the way, the things that Ye Yuan saw were too many. It might be detrimental to the second miss.


    But Ye Yuan wanting to enter the Liang Family, he really did not have a reason to refuse.


    With Miss Wanru around, it was also useless if he rejected it.


    When Liang Wanru saw Ye Yuan say so, her eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise.


    "Hurray, hurray! For Brother-In-Law to be able to enter the Liang Family, it''s really excellent! As the younger sister, I''ll definitely repay your life-saving grace properly!" But Liang Wanrong agreed with a cheerful expression.


    Zhang Shun glanced at her and sighed helplessly.


    This little lass, does she really think that Ye Yuan is so easy to deal with?


    Him entering the Liang Family, whether it was catching a turtle in a jar, or inviting a wolf into the house, it was really hard to say!

 1296 Husband and Wife Devising a Stratagem

    "Little Brother Ye, all thanks to you for this trip! Otherwise, this Liang really wouldn''t know how to face my two daughters anymore."


    "Family Head is too kind, this Ye just knows some beast taming arts, and just happened to come in handy during the beast tide. Want to really thank, it should also be this Ye saying it. If not for Miss Wanru, this Ye would already be a corpse exhibited in the wilderness right now."


    "Haha, Little Brother Ye is too humble! Since Little Brother Ye has nowhere to stay, then stay in the Liang Family first. When Little Brother Ye finds a place to stay, it''s not late to move out then as well."


    "Then I''ll have to impose on Family Head."


    Liang Mingyu was evidently a sly old businessman at a glance, very worldly-wise.


    But his strength was not weak. He was a middle-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouse.


    These words sounded courteous, but it gave Ye Yuan a faint sense of alienation.


    Even though Ye Yuan saved Liang Wanru and sister, Liang Wanru also saved Ye Yuan and even gave Ye Yuan to eat the Profound Essence Pill.


    After listening to Zhang Shun''s report until the end, Liang Mingyu could not help feeling pain.


    In Jewelhill City, the Profound Essence Pill was a life-saving medicinal pill.


    He also knew that he owed Liang Wanru quite a lot these few years. Hence, that was why he left this medicinal pill to her for preserving her life.


    He did not expect that his daughter actually gave it to a stranger.


    But speaking of which, if not for this daughter being kind-hearted, saving an inconsequential Ye Yuan, she would probably have already perished in the belly of demonic beasts at this time too.


    This was also considered kindness begets kindness!


    But, toward this Ye Yuan whose background was unknown, Liang Mingyu held a little caution.


    He doted on his eldest daughter very much and could not bear to make her upset, that was why he agreed for Ye Yuan to stay.


    Later on, finding a reason, he was planning on chasing Ye Yuan out of the Liang Family. He did not wish to raise a cripple at home.


    Actually, the intent of chasing away was already very clear in his words. He hoped that Ye Yuan could be a bit sensible and take the initiative to leave himself.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually pretended not to understand and climbed up along the shaft, lingering in the Liang Family.


    Ling Mingyu was unhappy in his heart, but he naturally would not show it on the surface.


    With his means, wanting to chase a cripple out of the Liang Family was too easy.


    ...


    In a room, Liang Wanrong had watery eyes, lodging a complaint in front of a fat-headed and large-eared woman.


    This fat lady was precisely her mother, called Wang Pianran.


    It was just that this woman was completely mismatched with the ''Pianran'' two words, giving people an extremely disgusting feeling.


    For this kind of woman to be able to give birth to a beauty like Liang Wanrong, it was also all thanks to Liang Mingyu.


    But in the Liang Family, Liang Mingyu really did not dare to offend this female bigshot.


    Back then, the Liang Family fell into a crisis and was almost destroyed.


    It was all thanks to Wang Pianran marrying over, the Liang Family and Wang Family joining in marriage, that they survived the crisis.


    Wang Pianran considered herself to be the savior and was very domineering in the Liang Family.


    "Mom, you aren''t aware. That punk knows how to cast evil arts and cheated this daughter bitterly! I suspect that the beast tide this time was summoned by him originally. He definitely took fancy on Liang Wanru, that slut''s looks, and deliberately tried to ingratiate himself to her! Fortunately, Daughter was astute, otherwise �� otherwise �� Mother, you probably can''t see Rong-er anymore! Sniff, sniff ��"


    Liang Wanrong pounced into her mother''s embrace, crying her eyes out.


    She gave embellishment to the events during the trip for Wang Pianran to hear.


    Wang Pianran doted on this daughter like crazy in the first place. Even if she did not add colored details, she also would not be courteous towards Liang Wanru and Ye Yuan.


    Seeing her daughter cry so mournfully, she was even more livid with rage, the flesh on her face piling together.


    "Rong-er, you rest assured. Mother will definitely seek justice for you! It''s fine if that brat was a little sensible and leaves, but since he came to the Liang Family, then he only has one path to hell! Also, that slut, looks like Mother was still too lenient towards her normally. This time, I have to make her remember it well!"


    A cold light shone in Wang Pianran''s gaze, and she shouted, "Come, men!"


    A maidservant entered flusteredly and greeted with folded hands at the lower right side, saying: "Madam!"


    "Call Liang Mingyu over for me, at once! Immediately!" Wang Pianran said sternly.


    "Yes, Madam!" The maidservant was clearly very scared of this fatty, hurriedly scrambling away.


    ...


    "Liang Mingyu, let me tell you, that brat who''s surnamed Ye must die! Otherwise, I''ll bring Rong-er back to the Wang Family tomorrow!" Wang Pianran said fiercely.


    Liang Mingyu felt his head swell, fed up with this woman to the extreme.


    Back then, he was left with no other choice that he married this fat and ugly woman.


    Although he made it through the hurdle, it was also considered to have invited a wolf into the house.


    This woman was just like a mad dog, aggressive and overbearing, taking herself to be the Liang Family''s matron, wanting to stick a hand into everything.


    It was also precisely because of so that Liang Mingyu missed his former wife, Liang Wanru''s mother, even more.


    Similarly, a woman, but why was the difference so great?


    But even so, he could only swallow his grievances and said with difficulty, "This �� This isn''t too nice, right? After all, Ye Yuan saved our two daughters. If he dies in the Liang Family for unknown reasons, who would still dare to do business with our Liang Family in the future?"


    Wang Pianran''s expression turned cold, and she said, "Liang Mingyu, don''t give me that! As long as you make him die unbeknown to gods and ghosts, who would know that there was this matter? Just a cripple, would somebody be concerned that this world lost a cripple? Heh, saved our two daughters? Perhaps, that beast tide was summoned by him in the first place?"


    Liang Mingyu''s eyes narrowed. He really had not thought of this possibility before.


    When Wang Pianran saw this, she suddenly changed her tone and said, "Liang Mingyu, that punk''s beast taming abilities are extraordinary! As long as you can pry open his mouth ��"


    Wang Pianran had a sinister look, her face very proud of herself.


    Even though she had a large head and big ears, she was not stupid.


    In reality, Wang Pianran''s deviousness was much deeper than Liang Wanrong.


    Otherwise, one what basis could she suppress the head of a family, Liang Mingyu?


    When Liang Wanrong spoke of Ye Yuan''s beast taming ability, she had the idea already.


    Ye Yuan, a cripple, was actually able to control a late-stage rank one Devilheaven Giant Elephant.


    If this kind of method was obtained by the Liang Family, then the Liang Family would be able to become Jewelhill City''s number one great family in one leap!


    There were quite a number of divine beasts inside the Myriad Beast Forest. Randomly catching a few over, this combat strength could not be overlooked too.


    Liang Mingyu''s entire body trembled. The greedy look in his eyes could not be concealed anymore.


    "Heh heh, wifey is truly my better half! Ever since marrying wifey, my, Liang Mingyu''s development these few years, has become smoother and smoother! Now, there are even hopes of becoming Jewelhill City''s number one family!" Liang Mingyu said with an excited look.


    Ye Yuan''s life and death, he did not care. What he minded were just Liang Wanru''s thoughts.


    But now, Wang Pianran''s words completely roused the ambition in his heart.


    Beast taming arts capable of controlling a late-stage rank one divine beast, how could it not make people drool with envy?


    Compared to Jewelhill City''s number one family, what did Ye Yuan''s little life count as?


    Wang Pianran said proudly, "That is, of course! I know that you still miss that dead ghost these few years, but you also didn''t think it over properly. If there wasn''t me, Wang Pianran, how can you have the time to contrast past misery with present happiness?"Pianran means ''light''/flutter.

 1297 One Star Heavenly Mark Pill!

    Ye Yuan was completely unaware that the Liang Family already viewed him as a fat lamb, planning on assassinating him.


    What he had a headache over currently was how to repair his divine essence and let himself recover essence energy.


    Divine sea damaged, essence energy utterly lost; Ye Yuan was unable to refine pills at all.


    Unable to refine pills, his divine sea would be unable to recover.


    This was an endless loop, making his head swell.


    Of course, Ye Yuan could be said to be a complete layman towards medicinal pills right now.


    The him who triggered Heavenly Dao with Alchemy Dao was a complete and utter layman here.


    The current Ye Yuan was sitting in the dark!


    "Senior Dustless, I wonder if you have any ways to resolve my current predicament?"


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only turn to Dustless for help.


    After all, Dustless followed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and traversed the Heavenspan World unobstructed. The things that he knew were far more compared to him.


    Dustless said huffily, "Know to ask this old man for help now? Back then, I told you not to flaunt your superiority. Now, suffered the fruits of your own evil deeds, right?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled, smiled slightly, and said nothing.


    Dustless'' punch landing on cotton, he could not help billowing his beard and glared as he said, "Kid, not that I''m scaring you, but your current condition is basically considered crippled already. Not that there''s no method, but for you to want to repair the divine sea, it at least has to wait a hundred years too."


    But Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and said, "It''s good that there''s a way. What does a hundred year''s time count for?"


    Dustless said with a cold smile, "Heh, a hundred years is certainly nothing to you. But that little friend of yours can''t wait a hundred years!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression instantly became ugly, and he said, "Senior, what do you mean? Could it be that the Soul Suppressing Pearl can''t even maintain Lingxue''s spiritual consciousness for a hundred years'' time?"


    Dustless was also helpless as he said, "If I''m at my heyday, forget about 100 years, even a million years isn''t an issue either. But my current state, I can at most last for another ten years, and I''ll fall into a slumber again."


    Ye Yuan''s heart thumped, not expecting that Dustless''s condition was actually bad to such an extent.


    He drew a deep breath and said, "Senior, I wonder how can I let you recover strength?"


    Dustless sighed and said, "The three great empyrean spirit treasures are connected by blood with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove. Upon Immortal Grove''s death, the three great empyrean spirit treasures will suffer severe damage. Hence, that''s why this old man fell asleep. Although you let this old man wake up, if you can''t provide sufficient nourishment for this old man, this old man will still decline, all the way until I fall asleep. Originally, absorbing the Deathsoul Tree, it''s also not to the point of falling asleep so quickly. But sustaining the vitality of that little friend of yours needs to consume quite a bit of strength. In my current state, I can at most still last for ten years!"


    Only then did Ye Yuan know how serious the state of affairs were.


    Once Dustless fell asleep, he would not be able to maintain Mu Lingxue''s spiritual consciousness, and she would die.


    Want to let the Soul Suppressing Pearl keep on sustaining, that will require an endless supply of nourishment!


    But in his current condition, where would he go to provide nourishment?


    Everything had to wait for him to recover his strength before talking.


    A ten-year period was merely a snap of a finger in the Heavenspan World. One could not even raise their cultivation by a trace.


    This point, Ye Yuan had known long ago.


    The cultivation of the martial artists here was easily calculated with 100 thousand years.


    Deity Realm powerhouses were merely the Heavenspan World''s ants too.


    Only by cultivating to the Divine Lord Realm could it be considered to have minor accomplishment.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and opened his mouth to say, "Senior Dustless, what''s the method that you speak of just now?"


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan himself was already at the ends of his rope, and could only place hopes on completing the method that Dustless mentioned as soon as possible.


    Dustless being so unhappy was also because of this reason.


    He had a way, but for the current Ye Yuan to want to complete this method, that was virtually something impossible!


    He gave a drawn-out sigh and said, "In the Heavenspan World, there''s a kind of pill refining method called Formation Dao Pill Refinement! Right now, your divine essence is completely gone. Only with this channel, can you refine medicinal pills. With your divine sea''s degree of damage, a low-grade Tier 1 divine pill, One Star Heavenly Mark Pill, is sufficient already. It''s just too bad that both your essence energy realm and Alchemy Dao already broke through to Deity Realm, but your Formation Dao didn''t! Moreover, you''re completely clueless about divine pills. The refining difficulty of divine pills is completely not what mortal-grade medicinal pills can compare to! Forget about 10 years, even if I give you a hundred year''s time, you might not be able to refine a One Star Heavenly Mark Pill too!"


    The mystic grade medicinal pill that had once let Ye Yuan command the winds and clouds in the Immortal Grove World, it merely became the mortal-grade medicinal pills from Dustless'' mouth presently.


    It was not that Dustless looked down on Ye Yuan. In fact, he already regarded Ye Yuan very highly.


    How could Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s pill formulas be so easy to refine?


    If ordinary alchemists were able to refine, Dustless would not be so desperate too.


    This Jewelhill City had alchemists who could refine the Profound Essence Pill. Worst come to worst, hand the pill formula over to the other party, it could always succeed.


    But the problem was, this One Star Heavenly Mark Pill, ordinary alchemists could not refine it at all.


    The Profound Essence Pill was not even fit to carry shoes in front of the One Star Heavenly Mark Pill!"


    The Profound Essence Pill, as long as one''s realm reached, refining was not hard.


    Although a One Star Heavenly Mark Pill was a low-grade Tier 1 divine pill, it required profound understanding towards Alchemy Dao to be able to refine it.


    Skill being lacking, it was pointless no matter how high the realm.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a solemn expression, "Senior, for the average person to become an initial-rank One Star Alchemy God, how long does it normally take?"


    The Alchemy God Realm was divided into nine stars. The Profound Essence Pill and One Star Heavenly Mark Pill both belonged to Tier 1 divine pills. One Star Alchemy God could refine already.


    Of course, one was an initial-rank Alchemy God, while the other was a high-rank Alchemy God.


    Dustless said, "The Alchemy Dao that you understood is merely just a portion of the Heavenly Dao which Immortal Grove comprehended! You were able to trigger the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao. But in front of the Heavenspan World''s Heavenly Dao, it''s not worth mentioning at all! In the Heavenspan World, Alchemy Dao is even more extensive and profound! For ordinary people, even if their Alchemy Dao talent is exceedingly good, it requires a thousand years'' time too, before they can have a preliminary grasp of the medicinal pill''s refinement, and become a One Star Alchemy God! Hence, in the Heavenspan World, the status of alchemy gods are even higher than in the Immortal Grove World!"


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath when he heard that. Only now, did he know how precious that Profound Essence Pill was!


    Ye Yuan merely used 300 years'' time to cultivate to peak Alchemy Emperor back then.


    Now, wanting to cultivate to initial-rank One Star Alchemy God actually required a thousand years'' time!


    Furthermore, this was even just the most elementary level initial-rank One Star Alchemy God.


    Refining a One Star Heavenly Mark Pill, an ordinary initial-rank One Star Alchemy God definitely would not do.


    Even though Dustless did not say, Ye Yuan reckoned that wanting to reach the level of being able to refine a One Star Heavenly Mark Pill, it probably needed at least over 2000 years'' time too!


    Coming back to his sense from shock, Ye Yuan asked, "Since that''s the case, why does Senior say that this junior requires a hundred years'' time?"


    Dustless said, "Of course it''s because of the World Suppressing Stele! You broke through to Deity Realm, you can activate some of the World Suppressing Stele''s functions already. And apart from inscribing the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao, the World Suppressing Stele''s greatest use is being able to change the flow rate of time!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze sharpened. This function, he had already coveted it for a long time.


    He did not expect that he could actually use it already!

 1298 A Man Without Money Is No Man at All

    "Hey, don''t be happy too early! The World Suppressing Stele can only activate the first layer space right now. The time ratio is only one-to-ten. Your talent is indeed pretty good, but the Heavenspan World''s talents are way stronger! Immortal Grove was one of them! Even for him, reaching this step took a thousand years too! Even if your talent is greater than his, 800 years is already the limit too. Which is also to say that you only have 80 year''s time. These 80 years, you still have to divert attention and learn Formation Dao. 10 years, it''s absolutely impossible for you to succeed!" Dustless struck down without showing the slightest bit of mercy.


    In this world, how many dared to say that their talent was even greater than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove?


    That was an existence closest to Heavenly Emperor!


    While Ye Yuan was just a native of the Immortal Grove World, with innate deficiencies.


    Wanting to surpass Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, that was nigh impossible.


    Dustless'' estimations were already regarding Ye Yuan infinitely highly!


    80 years was the limit that Ye Yuan could reach already.


    This was already an achievement that surpassed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    But Ye Yuan could not wait 80 years. He only had 10 years'' time!


    And within 10 years, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to succeed!


    However, Ye Yuan completely did not have the look of being beaten down on his face. He smiled and said, "Not trying, how would you know?"


    To Ye Yuan, the most frightening was not difficulties but having completely no way.


    As long as there was a way, he could face the difficulties and advance!


    Wasn''t this road crossed this way?


    Even the Deity Realm, which no one had achieved in 100 thousand years, he succeeded too!


    Nothing in the world was difficult for one who set his mind to it!


    If Ye Yuan was scared from beginning to end, it would also be impossible to trigger Heavenly Dao and become the controller.


    Talent was one aspect, but determination and hard work were just as important!


    Dustless did not think that Ye Yuan was actually not the least bit dispirited.


    On the contrary, the current Ye Yuan''s gaze was sharp, filled with fighting intent from head to toe.


    Dustless discovered that his understanding of Ye Yuan seemed to be too little.


    If Long Teng was here, he absolutely would not say this kind of words.


    Dustless let out a sigh and said, "Fine then. At this point presently, it seems like there''s no other way as well."


    Although he said so, Dustless did not harbor much hope in Ye Yuan.


    Reaching initial-rank One Star Alchemy God within 10 years, this was indeed pushing people a little too much beyond their power.


    "But, the first difficulty put in front of you right now isn''t Alchemy Dao and Formation Dao, but �� divine essence stones," Dustless continued.


    Ye Yuan froze, also discovering the severity of the problem.


    He had Dustless mentioned that the Heavenspan World''s universal currency was divine essence stones.


    Furthermore, divine essence stones were not that anybody could have. On mortals, under ordinary circumstances, it was impossible to have divine essence stones.


    Martial artists cultivating, deducing Formation Dao, all could not dispense with divine essence stones.


    But now, Ye Yuan was penniless. Even if he wanted to cultivate Formation Dao, there was also no way to start practicing.


    When at the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao reached the acme of perfection. Casually refining a few medicinal pills could exchange for money.


    Therefore, he had never worried about money before.


    But now, he could only even refine the most basic Tier 1 divine pill, use what to exchange for money?


    Don''t count on the Liang Family, it was already pretty good that Liang Mingyu did not drive him out.


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that it was truly a penny stumping a hero!


    "This �� This is really a problem!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    "En?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. A knocking sound suddenly sounded out outside the door.


    Opening the door to take a look, it was an unfamiliar little girl. Looking at the appearance, it should be a maidservant.


    That maidservant was also sizing Ye Yuan up and said doubtfully, "You''re Ye Yuan?"


    When Ye Yuan heard this tone, it seemed like the arrival was somewhat unfriendly.


    "It''s precisely this Ye, may I ask for Miss''s name?"


    "I''m called Lan Qing, Miss Wanru''s personal maidservant."


    Ye Yuan brows raised and he said, "So, it''s Miss Lan Qing. Is Miss Wanru well?"


    Lan Qing looked at Ye Yuan and rolled her eyes as she said, "Well my *ss! Miss has been grounded!"


    Ye Yuan frowned and asked, "What''s going on here?"


    "What''s going on? You still have the cheek to ask! It''s all because of you that Miss was grounded by that shrew! Furthermore, she even docked her three years of divine essence stones!" Talking to the back, Lan Qing suppressed her voice and said.


    That shrew was an existence which she could not provoke.


    If it was heard by someone, she was dead for sure.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that the Liang Family probably did this in order to stop him from meeting her, that was why it was like this.


    He only came to the Liang Family in order to protect Liang Wanru. But he suddenly discovered that he seemed to be a little too weak and could not help at all.


    Musing for a moment, Ye Yuan opened his mouth again and said: "Could it be that Miss Lan Qing came to find this Ye in order to denounce me for my crimes?"


    Lan Qing had already long seen through that Ye Yuan was merely a good-for-nothing who could not cultivate. She did not understand why Miss was so worried about him.


    She snorted coldly and unwillingly threw Ye Yuan a storage ring, finally muttering to herself, "I really don''t know what Miss thinks, clearly a cripple."


    As she said, she turned right around and left, and could not be bothered to even give Ye Yuan another look.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not mind.


    He could tell that this Lan Qing was standing up for Liang Wanru, feeling indignant on her behalf.


    Furthermore, she did not say wrongly either, wasn''t the current him a cripple?


    The storage ring was an owner-less item. Ye Yuan sunk his divine sense inside and discovered that inside the storage ring, there were a hundred milky-white stones.


    "This lass is really delivering charcoal in the snow, to actually send you divine essence stone!" Dustless said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan was stunned and said in surprise, "These are divine essence stone? Such thick spiritual energy!"


    Ye Yuan had never seen before divine essence stones. Only when he heard Dustless'' gasp, did he know that these milky-white stones were divine essence stones.


    Divine essence stones were completely different from essence crystals. When martial artists absorbed the energy inside, they could directly convert it into divine essence.


    Deity Realm martial artists'' cultivation could not get away from divine essence stones.


    The Heavenspan World''s heaven and earth essence energy was not called essence energy but called spiritual energy.


    The energy concentration of spiritual energy was more than goodness knows how many times higher than essence energy, completely another level of energy.


    And divine essence stones would only be produced in regions with an extremely high concentration of spiritual energy.


    "Unfortunately, these are merely low-grade divine essence stones. Furthermore, the quantity is too little, completely not enough for you to cultivate," Dustless said.


    But Ye Yuan said rather happily, "Having is better than nothing! Senior, this matter brooks no delay, where do we start from?"


    Dustless also knew that time was pressing and did not hesitate at once, saying, "Start from the Divine Essence Pill then, this is the most basic divine pill already! Extract and refine the divine essence inside spirit medicines, condensing to form a pill, and providing for martial artists to cultivate. This is the pill formula, you go and buy some spirit medicines back first."


    Ye Yuan had an additional pill formula in his mind. The spirit medicines that this pill formula needed were not many, looking very simple.


    Ye Yuan knew that this Divine Essence Pill should be similar to mortal-grade medicinal pills, the likes of the Essence Gathering Pill and Explosive Yuan Pill.


    Of course, this was completely the medicinal pills of two worlds.


    Ye Yuan already made up his mind to definitely comprehend the Divine Essence Pill within the shortest time.


    As long as he could refine the Divine Essence Pill, he would be able to rely on selling medicinal pills for a living.

 1299 Myriad Treasure Tower

    "Forget about the Liang Family. Senior, where do we go to buy spirit medicines?" Ye Yuan said.


    Dustless said, "Go to the Myriad Treasure Tower then! The word-of-mouth of the Myriad Treasure Tower under Empyrean Myriad Treasure is still very secure. When Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was alive, he liked to go to the Myriad Treasure Tower to buy things too."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove acknowledged it, so he naturally would not have any objections.


    Getting his things in order, Ye Yuan went straight out of the Liang Family.


    Inquiring, Ye Yuan headed for the Myriad Treasure Tower. Dustless''s voice sounded out in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    "Kid, there''s a tail following. It''s that Zhang Shun."


    Ye Yuan was alarmed inwardly, but his expression did not change. He continued walking forward.


    The Heavenspan World was totally different from the Immortal Grove World. Ye Yuan''s divine sense could only extend roughly the distance of a hundred feet here.


    Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao''s suppression toward martial artists here was exceptionally powerful.


    Under Divine Lord Realm, martial artists were unable to fly!


    Hence, Ye Yuan''s perception was far from as sensitive as at the Immortal Grove World.


    Fortunately, Dustless was incomparably powerful. At practically the first instant, he detected Zhang Shun''s existence.


    Zhang Shun was probably up to no good chasing after him.


    "Looks like Liang Mingyu had some devious ideas," Ye Yuan replied.


    "En, most likely took a fancy on that so-called beast taming technique of yours," Dustless said.


    "I can''t return to the Liang Family anymore. What should I do?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "No worries. You have divine essence stones on you, can go to the Myriad Treasure Tower and rent a cultivation room, and focus on figuring out Formation Dao and Alchemy Dao. However, this will have to depend on your comprehension ability. If you''re still not able to refine divine essence pills before the divine essence stones are depleted, this little life of yours �� will probably be hard to preserve," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan''s brows shot up, but he said with high morale, "Heh, this is considered driving me into a dead end? Looks like there''s only going for broke."


    Ye Yuan was a cripple now. What could move Liang Mingyu was probably just that non-existent beast taming technique. This was not hard to guess.


    Luckily, he came out in time. Any later and he probably would not even be able to leave the Liang Family''s gate.


    Ye Yuan hastened his footsteps and arrived at the Myriad Treasure Tower very soon.


    "Hiss, what a grand Myriad Treasure Tower!"


    In front of him was a magnificent and imposing building.


    Carved balustrades and marble steps, richly decorated jade halls, a grand atmosphere, but completely did not have the air of an upstart.


    "Heh, Empyrean Myriad Treasure corroborated his Dao with artifacts, and is the wealthiest heavenly emperor in this Heavenspan World! Even in this remote Jewelhill City, the Myriad Treasure Tower also isn''t what the Liang Family, that sort of bumpkin, can rival," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan felt a burst of yearning when he heard this. But he recollected his mind very quickly and stepped into the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    "This sir, our Myriad Treasure Tower has everything under the sun. I wonder, what do you require?" A pretty maidservant came up to receive him.


    She was called Hong Yin, specifically responsible for guiding customers to shop.


    Seeing Hong Yin, Ye Yuan''s gaze involuntarily turned sharp.


    A little maidservant was actually a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    This Myriad Treasure Tower was indeed extraordinary!


    Furthermore, this Hong Yin should be able to see through him at a glance. Although there was some disdain in her eyes, it was concealed very well. One could not even hear a trace of impatience in her words.


    Indeed well-deserving of being a faction under a Heavenly Emperor''s command!


    "I need five catties of Divine Rain Silk, eight catties of Goldenwind Immortal Grass, six catties of Heavenly Silk Crystal ��"


    Ye Yuan listed out five to six kinds of divine rank spirit medicines in one go. Although these spirit medicines were divine rank spirit medicines, they were all entry-level.


    Hong Yin could not help being stunned when she heard these but felt at ease very soon.


    These spirit medicines were all beginner alchemists'' spirit medicines. They were normally used for newcomers to get started.


    This youth in front of her did not have the slightest trace of divine essence undulations, he was probably a cripple. He should be a servant of some alchemy god master, running errands for him.


    "Alright, Sir. I''ll send someone to fetch it at once. Is there still anything else you need?" Hong Yin asked again.


    Ye Yuan continued, "I wish to rent a training room."


    Hong Yin froze, buying so many spirit medicines and entering a training room for what?


    Could it be that he did not need to deliver it back for his master?


    How could a servant be so daring?


    Suspicions were suspicions, Hong Yin still smiled radiantly and said, "Our Myriad Treasure Tower''s training rooms are divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, four ranks. Heaven Rank training rooms are 1000 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones for a day. Earth Rank training rooms are 500 low-grade divine essence stones for a day. Mystic Rank training rooms are 100 low-grade divine essence stones a day. Yellow Rank training rooms are 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones a day."


    Ye Yuan''s face could not help turning stiff.


    So expensive!


    He originally planned on renting 10 days. A hundred low-grade divine essence stones were gone all at once, while the divine essence stones that Liang Wanru gave him were merely 135 pieces in total.


    Subtracting away the costs of buying spirit medicines, what could he cultivate still?


    Ye Yuan knew that the purchasing power of divine essence stones was still quite okay.


    But the cultivation rooms in the Myriad Treasure Tower were truly too expensive as well.


    "This �� Is there a cheaper cultivation room?" Ye Yuan thickened his skin and asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart for a while. He did not expect that he would actually have a day where he was so miserable too.


    Fortunately, before he came to the Heavenspan World, he already had sufficient mental preparations, and it was not to the extent of having a huge psychological drop. It was just somewhat sighing emotionally.


    Hong Yin felt a bout of contempt in her heart. No money, put on an act for what?


    Contempt was contempt, but Hong Yin was a very professional maidservant. She smiled faintly to Ye Yuan and said, "Of course. We still have ungraded cultivation rooms here, it only requires four pieces of low-grade divine essence stones a day. But, these ungraded cultivation rooms, the effects are much poorer, the cost to performance ratio isn''t high. Does sir really want to rent it?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. He only asked tentatively, did not expect that there really was.


    He was only renting the cultivation room in order to refine pills. Good or bad did not matter.


    Right now, he did not have the qualifications to cultivate at all.


    "Alright, I''ll rent for 10 days! You have someone directly deliver the spirit medicines to the cultivation room!" Ye Yuan said straightforwardly.


    Hong Yin did not expect that Ye Yuan really rented it.


    She was very perplexed by Ye Yuan''s actions. Could it be that this young man who did not even have divine essence actually wanted to refine pills himself?


    You have got to be kidding!


    The professional Hong Yin smiled faintly again and said, "Okay, Sir. Adding the spirit medicines that you bought previously, it''s 68 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones in total. Please pay the bill first."


    Ye Yuan felt his flesh hurt, retrieving 68 pieces of divine essence stones from within the storage ring and paid the bill.


    With this, inside his storage ring was only left with 67 pieces of divine essence stones.


    If he was unable to use these 67 pieces of divine essence stones to refine a Divine Essence Pill, then what awaited him shall be death!


    Right now, Ye Yuan already had no paths of retreat!


    "Oh, right, if I can refine Divine Essence Pills, will your Myriad Treasure Tower accept it?" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.


    Hong Yin was stunned. This was still her first time encountering such a person!


    Buying spirit medicines at the Myriad Treasure Tower, he actually wanted to refine into medicinal pills and sell to the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    But she already confirmed one thing. This young man renting a practice room was really to refine pills himself!


    However, a youth who did not even have divine essence, what right did he �� no, wait, Formation Dao Pill Refinement!


    Hong Yin''s entire body suddenly trembled, thinking of a kind of possibility.


    But how was this possible?


    Formation Dao Pill Refinement, in this Jewelhill City, there should be no one able to do it, right?

 1300 Medicinal Properties of Divine Rank Spirit Medicines

    "Divine pills are naturally accepted. But it will have to depend on what grade of Divine Essence Pill you refine. Our Myriad Treasure Tower guarantees quality. Divine Essence Pills lower than middle-grade, we won''t accept any."


    Hong Yin was shocked inwardly but was still calm on the surface.


    Furthermore, she was very puzzled. This youth seemed to be very short on money.


    But, if he really knew Formation Dao Pill Refinement, how could he possibly be poor until he could not even afford to rent a Yellow Rank cultivation room?


    But Ye Yuan did not mind Hong Yin''s words. He asked, "I wonder what''s your acquisition price?"


    Hong Yin was not impatient and replied, "Middle-grade Divine Essence Pill, 25 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones. High-grade Divine Essence Pills, 80. Superior-grade Divine Essence Pills, 400 pieces."


    Middle-grade Divine Essence Pills'' selling price was 30 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones. High-grade was 100 pieces, superior-grade was 500 pieces.


    Since the Myriad Treasure Tower purchased medicinal pills, they naturally wanted to earn the price difference.


    This price was already very fair.


    In reality, the one that sold the most was still low-grade Divine Essence Pills.


    The majority of martial artists could only afford to consume low-grade.


    Because Divine Essence Pills were running stock medicinal pills for martial artists to cultivate, middle-grade was still a little okay. High-grade would easily require hundreds of divine essence stones. Ordinary martial artists really could not afford it.


    As for superior-grade Divine Essence Pills, that was really a sky-high price.


    But what the Myriad Treasure Tower walked was the quality goods route. Hence, low-grade Divine Essence Pills which did not meet the mark, they did not sell at all.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said to Hong Yin with clasped hands, "Thank you very much, Miss."


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Hong Yin''s beautiful eyes swiveled around.


    Although she did not think that Ye Yuan could refine Divine Essence Pills, she garnered interest in Ye Yuan.


    After entering the cultivation room, Ye Yuan directly sunk his divine sense into the World Suppressing Stele according to the method that Dustless said. Suddenly, his eyes blurred, directly entering inside a milky-white space.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the time flow rate here was indeed much faster than the outside world.


    "Senior, get started then!" Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said with a firm gaze.


    He only had 10 days, which were 100 days'' time inside the World Suppressing Stele!


    A 100 days'' time to use to master Formation Dao Pill Refinement, this was an incomparably arduous challenge. He did not have any time to waste.


    This was a virtually impossible task!


    Dao Defying Pill said, "Compared to mortal-grade medicinal pills, the refinement threshold of divine pills is much higher! You had once refined the Dao Defying Pill before. Even though that medicinal pill was incredible, it''s also still in the scope of mortal-grade medicinal pills! Divine rank spirit medicines, even the lowest level divine rank spirit medicines, the complexity of the medicinal properties is also 10 thousand times, even 100 thousand times, a million times, of mortal-grade spirit medicines! Therefore, wanting to refine divine pills, one must first familiarize with the medicinal properties of divine rank spirit medicines! This is a drawn-out process. But you only have ten chances!"


    The spirit medicines that Ye Yuan purchased were the quantity of 10 sets of Divine Essence Pills in total!


    This was also to say that not only did he have to use these 10 sets of spirit medicines to familiarize himself with the medicinal properties, he even had to use them to attempt pill refinement.


    Furthermore, he must even succeed in refining a middle-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    This difficulty was too great.


    Dustless sighed and said, "Kid, even if it''s Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, it''s also impossible to complete such a refinement. It''s really making things hard for you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, these emotional words, it''s not too late to wait until after Ye Yuan fails before talking."


    Dustless''s gaze turned intent, and he said with a nod, "I''ll be telling you about the medicinal properties of these few kinds of divine rank spirit medicines. As for how much you can comprehend, it will have to depend on yourself! First, it''s the Divine Rain Silk ��"


    Dustless talked smoothly, clearly long memorized the medicinal properties of these low-level spirit medicines thoroughly already.


    However, no matter how familiar Dustless was, that was Dustless''s business.


    Pill refinement this sort of thing, only if the alchemist himself comprehended it could he refine it.


    Talking and mastering were two completely different things.


    There was a saying: ''Knowledge from books was ultimately shallow, one must experience it firsthand to know the intrinsic quality." This was the situation.


    Pill refinement had always been a skill that was continuously refined and tempered. No matter how thoroughly the master expounded, it also required one to explore it little by little.


    At most, it was just shortening this process.


    Ye Yuan focused on things the way he had never done before. Every word that Dustless said, he imprinted it firmly in his mind.


    He did not have many chances to go and repeatedly experience the medicinal properties of these spirit medicines. Then what Dustless said was very important.


    Refining divine pills, Ye Yuan was an out-and-out novice. But in terms of pill refining experience, few people could match up to Ye Yuan.


    Even if what he refined were all mortal-grade medicinal pills!


    This talk was ten days and ten nights!


    A hundred days, one-tenth was gone in a blink of an eye!


    Even though Dustless had long warned before, Ye Yuan still did not expect that a mere five kinds of lowest-level divine rank spirit medicines were actually complicated to such a degree.


    In these ten days, the quantity of information which Dustless narrated, even Ye Yuan had the impulse to shrink back at the sound of it.


    Without the least bit of exaggeration, every kind of spirit medicine was an encyclopedia!


    At this time, he finally knew why Dustless was so pessimistic about him.


    The refining difficulty of this Divine Essence Pill, the Dao Defying Pill could not catch up to it even by whipping the horse!


    What Dustless talked about was still just the medicinal properties. The true pill refining process was goodness knows how many times more complicated than this.


    A hundred day''s time was indeed too forceful.


    "Heh, kid, know the difficulty of refining divine pills, right? Now, are you still so confident?" Dustless could not resist teasing when he saw Ye Yuan''s expression.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "The difficulty is indeed much greater than I imagined! But, it''s still that sentence: I already have no way out. Since that''s the case, then I''ll face the difficulties!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan slowly closed his eyes, and started digesting his gains over these ten days.


    A colossal amount of information needed him to go and digest little by little.


    He did not have the conditions to experiment repeatedly. He could only do his homework before-hand.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes.


    Dustless said in surprise, "You used two day''s time and already completely digested it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Can''t say completely digest, but I more or less understand a little. The things that Senior said ultimately needs to be experienced firsthand. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk."


    Dustless''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Kid, I urge that you''d best experience it for a few more days. Your divine sea is damaged. After swallowing these spirit medicines, the medicinal properties will dissipate very quickly. The time left for you is just one-tenth, even one-hundredth of ordinary martial artists!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Of course I know this. But the verification of medicinal properties, it is still better to experience it firsthand."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, directly retrieving a portion of Divine Rain Silk and started chewing it bit by bit.


    ...


    At this time, outside the Myriad Treasure Tower, Zhang Shun and another Liang Family''s family guard were already impatient from waiting.


    "Why hasn''t that punk come out after entering the Myriad Treasure Tower?" the family guard said.


    Zhang Shun mused for a moment and said, "He wouldn''t have �� entered the cultivation room, right?"


    That family guard was stunned and said with a snicker, "Cultivation room? A cripple, enter a cultivation room for what? Isn''t this taking off the pants to let out a fart, an unnecessary move?"


    Zhang Shun also felt that it was not too likely. But Ye Yuan staying until now, what could it be apart from entering the cultivation rooms still?


    "This kid is very strange, mustn''t let down our guard! No matter what, we''d best keep a close watch. If he doesn''t come out, then we''ll wait until he comes out!" Zhang Shun said.

 1301 Selfless Realm!

    A surge of sweetness flowed into his heart. The Divine Rain Silk turned into threads of divine essence, entering Ye Yuan''s four limbs and all the bones in his body.


    Finally, it converged in Ye Yuan''s divine sea.


    Ye Yuan closed his eyes, sampling the Divine Rain Silk''s medicinal properties in detail.


    The knowledge that Dustless narrated rolled swiftly in Ye Yuan''s mind, affirming with his experiences one by one.


    However, after the Divine Rain Silk''s medicinal strength entered Ye Yuan''s divine sea, it dissipated to nothing very quickly.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s divine sea was thoroughly dried up.


    "What did I say? You''re purely wasting spirit medicines like this! Digest the things that I said more ��"


    Dustless was currently grumbling when he suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan completely ignored him.


    One look, Ye Yuan actually already entered a meditative state.


    Dustless was helpless and could only shut up.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan swallowed another portion of Divine Rain Silk.


    Dustless could not do anything to Ye Yuan and could only cuss him out for being a wastrel.


    But Ye Yuan acted arbitrarily without regard for others'' opinion. It was as if he did not hear his words at all.


    Only at this time did Dustless notice that ever since the first time he swallowed the Divine Rain Silk, Ye Yuan did not seem to have paid attention to him anymore.


    "This guy, he wouldn''t have ��"


    Dustless sucked in a deep breath, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became odd.


    He shut his mouth and just kept looking at him like this.


    Ye Yuan already completely forgot about Dustless''s existence. He was just like a puppet, swallowing a portion of spirit medicines every one to two days.


    The spirit medicines were reducing one portion by one portion.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of stopping.


    In a blink, over 30 days passed.


    Ten sets of complete spirit medicines were only left with four sets now.


    These 30 days'' time, Ye Yuan exhausted a full six portions of spirit medicines!


    When Ye Yuan opened his eyes, he discovered that Dustless''s breathing became ragged, a pair of eyes staring at him like seeing ghosts.


    Ye Yuan asked with a curious look, "Senior, what are you doing here? Could it be that there are flowers on my face?"


    Dustless drew a deep breath and strove to calm his emotions down and asked Ye Yuan, "You wouldn''t have �� grasped all of it, right?"


    When he asked this kind of thing, Dustless actually started feeling somewhat worried lest he should lose it.


    Ye Yuan froze. Only then did he understand that Dustless was asking him if he grasped the medicinal properties of the spirit medicines.


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes and went through once, and discovered to his pleasant surprise that these spirit medicines'' medicinal properties, he actually already grasped 70%-80%!


    This discovery made Ye Yuan pleasantly surprised!


    This period of time, he felt like he had a dream.


    In the dream, he was continuously comprehending these spirit medicines'' medicinal properties.


    No idea how much time had passed either, he virtually grasped all of it.


    He originally thought that he was having a dream. He did not expect that after waking up from the dream, he actually really grasped the medicinal properties of these spirit medicines!


    This kind of feeling was really like dreaming!


    Ye Yuan asked Dustless with a look of pleasant surprise and said, "Senior, I already grasped 70%-80% of the medicinal properties. This �� What''s going on here?"


    The corners of Dustless''s mouth suddenly twitched, and he asked, "Did you feel like these 30 day''s time, it was like having a dream?"


    Ye Yuan froze and could not help saying in surprise, "30 days? 30 days already gone by?"


    Merely just a dream, Ye Yuan felt that the time was very long in the dream.


    But after waking up, he also felt that not a long time passed.


    But hearing Dustless'' meaning, 30 days had actually gone by already!


    The more he said, the more puzzled Ye Yuan got, totally unaware of what happened.


    He grasped these spirit medicines'' medicinal properties bafflingly!


    "Did you have a dream?" Dustless suddenly asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded honestly.


    "In the dream, did you feel like a very long time had already passed?"


    Ye Yuan nodded once again.


    "In the dream, did you continuously comprehend the medicinal properties?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head repeatedly.


    Dustless let out a sigh and said, "You, brat, your luck is really excellent to the extreme! In an accident arising from many causes, you actually entered the Selfless Realm!"


    "Selfless Realm?" Ye Yuan repeated it, clearly very unfamiliar with this realm.


    Dustless said, "That''s right! The so-called Selfless Realm is a kind of spirit wandering away state! Under this sort of state, no matter what you learn, it''s incomparably fast! Since you entered the Selfless Realm until now, a total of 30 days'' time had passed. Figuring out 70%-80% of five kinds of divine rank spirit medicines in 30 days, this can simply be rated as a miracle! Only the Selfless Realm can achieve this kind of effect!"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise: "There''s still such a realm? Doesn''t that mean that a hundred days'' time is sufficient for me to refine the Divine Essence Pill?"


    "Pooh! You''re really shameless! Do you think that Selfless Realm is so easy to enter? Being able to enter this kind of state once, you already hit the jackpot! Under Divine Lord Realm, among a million martial artists, there might not be one capable of entering Selfless Realm too! Among them, includes Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm and Origin Deity Realm! Furthermore, even entering once, that''s very lucky too! The chances of entering again are even smaller than the first time!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly dumbfounded when he heard. It looked like he seemed to have really hit the jackpot.


    "Senior, this Selfless Realm, just what kind of realm is it?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    "Since there are higher realms after Deity Realm, then after Heaven Man Unity heart realm, there are naturally higher realms too! Selfless Realm is the heart realm after Heaven Man Unity! Heaven Man Unity is the resonance towards Heavenly Dao, while Selfless is in accordance with Heavenly Dao! You definitely found the correspondence point with Heavenly Dao under the heavy pressure. Hence, you temporarily entered Selfless Realm. Cultivating by following a normal routine, only after reaching Divine Lord Realm, creating a world that belongs to you, can you find the correspondence with the Heavenspan world''s Heavenly Dao, and firmly enter Selfless Realm!" Dustless said.


    The meaning of these words he said was very simple: Ye Yuan got very lucky. That was how he entered the Selfless Realm.


    Wanting to enter again was undoubtedly a fool''s ramblings.


    The disparity between Grotto Profound Deity Realm and Divine Lord Realm was too great.


    But Ye Yuan laughed open-mindedly and said, "So that''s how it is! No matter what, grasping the medicinal properties is good. Senior, can we start expounding on Formation Dao?"


    Dustless was not as accepting as Ye Yuan. He was still incredibly shocked in his heart.


    He did not say certain stuff. Those able to coincidentally enter Selfless Realm, the vast majority were all Origin Deity Realm powerhouses!


    The comprehension of Origin Deity Realms toward Heavenly Dao was already very high. If lucky, one would be able to find the correspondence point with the Heavenspan World''s Heavenly Dao.


    And Origin Deity Realms capable of entering Selfless Realm, the majority were all able to hew open a world, achieving Divine Lord Realm, truly becoming a powerhouse of a region!


    Those like Ye Yuan, able to enter Selfless Realm after just breaking through to Grotto Profound Deity Realm, one might not even be able to find a few in the entire Heavenspan World!


    This was the real reason why he was astounded!


    In other words, as long as Ye Yuan could cultivate to the Origin Deity Realm by following a normal routine, reaching Divine Lord Realm was virtually a shoo-in!


    After entering the Deity Realm, even though every step was extremely difficult, there was still a massive dividing crest between realms.


    Divine Lord Realm, was the first hurdle!The Selfless in this case, is actually Anatta, from Buddhism.

 1302 Pill Formed!

    "Hong Yin, you normally never make mistakes. But today, you already slipped up quite a number of times. Did you encounter something recently? I see that you seem to be somewhat absent-minded today," an old man said to Hong Yin.


    Hong Yin had worked for the Myriad Treasure Tower for a very long time already. She had never made mistakes before.


    But today, her entire person seemed to be muddle-headed. It was either counting the divine essence stones wrongly or getting the wrong things for the customer.


    When the shopkeeper saw this, he could not refrain from coming up to remind.


    Hong Yin said slightly apologetically: "Manager Su, really sorry. The mistakes made today, deduct from my wages!"


    Manager Su shook his head and said, "I didn''t mean that. This old man sees with my own eyes when you do things normally, so why would I deduct your wages for this minor thing? I see that you keep on looking around today like you''re waiting for someone. Could it be that �� you took fancy on some family''s son?"


    Hong Yin''s face flushed bright red, and she hurriedly shook her hand and said, "What''s Manager Su thinking of? I was just �� I was just somewhat curious."


    "Curious?" Manager Su wondered.


    Heavenly Dao nodded her head and did not have the intention of concealing it either, narrating Ye Yuan''s unusual situation that day, and said, "Today is just nice the tenth day, wonder if he succeeded or not. Hence, I''ve been restless all along."


    Manager Su chortled with laughter when he heard and said, "Oh, Hong Yin, you''re also a veteran of the Myriad Treasure Tower already. Why would you have this kind of naive thoughts? A guy who doesn''t even have divine essence, how can he possibly refine a divine pill? You also said it, that youth was merely 30 to 40 years old. This age, one can''t even accomplish learning the rudiments in alchemy, still want to refine pills with Formation Dao? What do you take those alchemy masters in the city to be?"


    Hong Yin could not help being stupefied when she heard that, only then, feeling that she seemed to really be somewhat heading down a blind alley.


    Around 30 to 40 years old, he was merely a youngster in the Heavenspan World.


    Just as Manager Su said, how could this age possibly refine pills with Formation Dao, and refine divine pills?


    Hong Yin was currently in a daze when a suit of azure robes walked out from the inner halls.


    That place was precisely the direction that led to the cultivation rooms.


    Ye Yuan walked straight towards Hong Yin and opened his mouth and said, "Miss, you said before that the Myriad Treasure Tower takes in middle-grade Divine Essence Pills. I wonder if it''s still valid?"


    The moment these words came out, not just Hong Yin, even Manager Su also shuddered all over, using a gaze like they had seen a ghost to look towards Ye Yuan.


    "You �� You �� You really refined the Divine Essence Pill?" Hong Yin was even stammering when speaking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I refined it. But there''s only one. I wonder if the Myriad Treasure Tower will accept?"


    Hong Yin did not answer Ye Yuan but used a strange gaze to size Ye Yuan up and down.


    She wanted to find a trace of divine essence undulation from Ye Yuan.


    But sadly, she was disappointed.


    No divine essence!


    Not even the slightest trace!


    "Could it be �� Could it be that you really ��"


    Hong Yin''s words did not ask finish yet and were cut off by Manager Su.


    He said with Ye Yuan smilingly, "Of course! Our Myriad Treasure Tower never refuses cooperation with alchemists. As long as the Divine Essence Pill you refined meets the requirements, we''ll take them all!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and took out a gray-black medicinal pill, medicinal fragrance suffusing everywhere.


    Hong Yin and Manager Su''s gaze turned intent. The quality of this Divine Essence Pill was even better than they imagined!


    Middle-grade Divine Essence Pill was not without any surprises at all.


    Good quality ones could come close to high-grade. Poor quality ones would also not be too far away from low-grade.


    This middle-grade Divine Essence Pill that Ye Yuan took out, the quality was rather decent.


    Although it was not at the level close to high-grade, compared to middle-grade Divine Essence Pills, the quality was much better.


    Manager Su said, "Little Brother, our Myriad Treasure Tower is equally honest with the old and young when doing transactions. Your middle-grade Divine Essence Pill''s quality is pretty good, the selling price will be a little higher than ordinary middle-grade Divine Essence Pills. This medicinal pill, I''ll give you 28 pieces of divine essence stones."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he said with clasped hands, "This one should be the manager, right? Then, thank you very much! However, just give me 16 pieces of divine essence stones. That will do. I still have 3 pieces of divine essence stones here, I still want to rent another day''s cultivation room. The rest, help me exchange all of it for the Divine Essence Pill''s materials."


    The remaining three pieces of divine essence stones were naturally leftover from Ye Yuan developing the array formation.


    The array formation for refining Divine Essence Pills was called Lesser Divine Essence Formation.


    This was an array formation specifically created for the Divine Essence Pill. The divine essence stones that it required were not many; just eight pieces.


    Ye Yuan had 67 pieces left previously. Which was also to say that he only had eight chances.


    Although the Lesser Divine Essence Formation only required eight pieces of divine essence stones, the complexity of this array formation far exceeded Ye Yuan''s imagination!


    Lu Linfeng''s Formation Dao could be sad to be a pinnacle existence in the Immortal Grove World.


    So much so that he already deduced the Heavenly Dao belonging to him.


    But those array formations were not worth mentioning at all in front of this puny little Lesser Divine Essence Formation!


    The two were on completely different orders of magnitude!


    An array formation piled up with a mere eight pieces of divine essence stones virtually depleted all of Ye Yuan''s mental energy.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan''s Formation Dao foundation was much more solid than Dustless imagined.


    Back then, inside the Peach Blossom Formation, Ye Yuan studied the array formation and laid down a solid foundation for Divine Dao array formations, making him infer some aspect of Divine Dao array formations from a glimpse.


    Under the heavy pressure, Ye Yuan erupted with limitless potential.


    He deduced the array formation frenziedly. In the following 55 days, Ye Yuan pushed himself to the limits.


    That sort of craziness, even Dustless was secretly dumbfounded when he saw it too, exclaiming that he was sick.


    However, what surprised Dustless even more was that Ye Yuan actually just lacked a tiny bit more to enter the Selfless Realm once again!


    Ye Yuan at that time already entered a kind of mysterious state. But in the end, it still fell short of success by one step.


    The Selfless Realm was too difficult to enter!


    But Ye Yuan was not without harvests either. It was precisely the critical state this time, that let Ye Yuan''s Formation Dao attainments advance by leaps and bounds, finally comprehending the Lesser Divine Essence Formation.


    At that time, even Dustless whose eyes were at the top of his head also screamed out freak.


    He totally did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really completed an impossible task in a short 100 day''s time!


    Formation Dao, medicinal properties, Ye Yuan comprehended all of it. It was just missing this final step of refinement.


    Logically speaking, once the Lesser Divine Essence Formation was completed, as long as one placed the spirit medicines in a suitable position inside the array formation, it would be able to automatically complete the refinement.


    But Ye Yuan''s comprehension of the Lesser Divine Essence Formation was still very shallow. In the process of the pill refinement, various unexpected situations would occur.


    The time still had five days remaining. Ye Yuan still had the last 27 pieces of divine essence stones remaining, which were also three refinement opportunities.


    Because once the array formation activated, the energy inside the divine essence stones would be depleted, becoming barren rocks.


    The first chance, Ye Yuan''s refinement failed without the least bit of surprise.


    Ye Yuan spent three day''s time and consolidated the experiences of the first failure.


    The second refinement, he finally succeeded!


    But unfortunately, what was refined this time was merely a low-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    Ye Yuan settled down and researched another day. Finally, at the last juncture, he refined this middle-grade Divine Essence Pill!


    After Ye Yuan returned to the cultivation room once more, Hong Yin and Manager Su exchanged a glance, both seeing astonishment from the other party''s eyes.


    "This boy''s talent is truly terrifying! Hong Yin, you continue to pay attention to him. If he needs any help, do whatever it takes! In addition, the Divine Essence Pills that he refines, purchase all of them at a high price!" Manager Su said with a slightly solemn gaze.

 1303 Unlimited Supply!

    "Damn it! That punk really stayed at the Myriad Treasure Tower! I''m perplexed, where did he get divine essence stones?"


    "I''ve already inquired before, Eldest Miss had Lan Qing send this boy quite a few divine essence stones."


    "So, it''s like that! But with Madam around, Eldest Miss doesn''t seem to have much divine essence stones in her possession either, right?"


    "En, at most, it''s also around a hundred pieces. The Myriad Treasure Tower''s Yellow Rank cultivation rooms need 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones too. He can''t last past a few days. We can''t afford to provoke the Myriad Treasure Tower. Just keep watch here then."


    "Eldest Miss had always stood aloof from the world these few years, Madam couldn''t find an excuse to mess with her either. This time, she sent that boy divine essence stones. This finally let Madam get the opportunity."


    "Yeah! This matter concerns the Liang Family''s rise and fall, even Family Head has nothing to say either. Want to say, Eldest Miss is also really pitiful. These few years, she has been badly oppressed by that pair of mother and daughter."


    "Isn''t that so. Now, she''s thrown into the dungeons. That pair of mother and daughter probably won''t let her off easily."


    Zhang Shun duo waited for ten days outside the Myriad Treasure Tower, filling them with burning anxiety.


    However, the Myriad Treasure Tower was not what the Liang Family could afford to provoke at all. They could only keep an eye on the Myriad Treasure Tower too, awaiting Ye Yuan to come out.


    The more they waited, the more irritated the two people got.


    A cripple actually wasted so much of their time.


    But, hearing the meaning in their words, Liang Wanru was actually thrown into the dungeons by Wang Pianran because of sending Ye Yuan divine essence stones.


    With Wang Pianran''s methods, she naturally would not let Liang Wanru off so easily.


    This time, perhaps she would be put to death.


    At this time, ten days had already gone by inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan left seclusion once more.


    When Hong Yin saw the two middle-grade Divine Essence Pills in front of her, she could not help being shocked until she could not close her mouth.


    She knew that the Divine Essence Stones on Ye Yuan was only sufficient to launch the Lesser Divine Essence Formation twice.


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan''s current success rate was 100%!


    One had to know, Ye Yuan bought ten sets of spirit medicines previously and only took out a middle-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    This improvement speed was truly a little too terrifying, right?


    Of course, if she knew that before entering the cultivation room, Ye Yuan was still an out-and-out layman, wonder what she would feel.


    Hong Yin was a Myriad Treasure Tower''s veteran already. She knew how great the difficulty of Formation Dao Pill Refinement was.


    Because nobody in Jewelhill City could perform Formation Dao Pill Refinement!


    Not only Manager Su was this Myriad Treasure Tower''s head manager, but he was also a peak One Star Alchemy God!


    But even he could not perform this Formation Dao Pill Refinement either.


    However, Ye Yuan actually already grasped Formation Dao Pill Refinement at this time. Furthermore, he even had such a high success rate, how could this not dumbfound Hong Yin?


    "Sir is truly an alchemy genius; improvement speed is too quick! It has just been a day, and the quality of Divine Essence Pill that you refined is much better than before again! In another few days, Sir will probably be able to refine high-grade Divine Essence Pills," Hong Yin exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Miss is too kind, my luck was just a little better."


    Not that Ye Yuan was modest, it was really that his luck was good.


    With only two chances, Ye Yuan swallowed another two sets of spirit medicines before refining in order to familiarize himself with the medicinal properties.


    Only all the way until the last two days did he start refining.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, the assurance in refining Divine Essence Pills was also merely around 30%.


    He did not expect that the two times actually all succeeded.


    Hong Yin''s beautiful eyes stared at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Sir, just call me Hong Yin will do. I wonder what''s Sir''s name?"


    Ye Yuan said, "So, it''s Miss Hong Yin, I am Ye Yuan."


    "Sir Ye is so talented, to actually be completely unknown previously, Hong Yin is truly ignorant and ill-informed," Hong Yin said probingly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Ye just entered the city not long ago and is temporarily staying with the Liang Family."


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it. He believed that with the Myriad Treasure Tower''s strength, if they really wanted to check, it was very easy to find out.


    Hong Yin was greatly surprised when she heard that. The Liang Family was one of Jewelhill City''s big family clans. It was absolutely impossible to not even be able to take out this bit of divine essence stones.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s pedantic appearance, it seemed like his relationship with the Liang Family was rather strange.


    But, Hong Yin was also an experienced girl and did not bring it out on her face, but smiled radiantly and said, "So that''s how it is. Will Sir continue to exchange these two Divine Essence Pills for divine essence stones and spirit medicines?"


    Ye Yuan said with clasped hands, "I''ll have to trouble Miss Hong Yin."


    Two middle-grade Divine Essence Pills were 56 divine essence stones. Ye Yuan''s financial situation became much better off all of a sudden.


    He still only rented a day''s cultivation room, exchanging all of the rest to spirit medicines and divine essence stones.


    Time passed day by day, Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards the Lesser Divine Essence Formation became deeper and deeper. The quality of the Divine Essence Pills refined also became higher and higher.


    On the seventh day, Ye Yuan finally refined a high-grade Divine Essence Pill!


    With this, Ye Yuan was finally considered to have leaped over the dragon gate.


    To him, this was not a high-grade Divine Essence Pill, but 80 divine essence stones.


    What Ye Yuan needed the most right now were divine essence stones!


    Roughly the cost of 10 pieces of divine essence stones and refining a high-grade Divine Essence Pill worth 80 pieces of divine essence stones, this kind of incremental effect was what Ye Yuan was most willing to see.


    When Hong Yin saw this high-grade Divine Essence Pill, she was shocked until she could not close her mouth once more.


    Although the Divine Essence Pill was the most basic divine pill, Ye Yuan''s improvement speed could simply use horrifying to describe!


    However, what she was surprised by was still about that thing.


    Following Ye Yuan''s financial situation becoming more and more well-off, he had even more chances to refine medicinal pills. The understanding of medicinal properties and Lesser Divine Essence Formation also become deeper and deeper.


    Hence, his success rate got higher and higher, the quality also became more and more stable!


    In-between this, Hong Yin arbitrarily made a decision!


    Limitlessly providing Ye Yuan divine essence stones and spirit medicines, as long as Ye Yuan handed the refined medicinal pills to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Ye Yuan agreed without any hesitation. What he needed the most right now was practice.


    With the support of a colossal titan like the Myriad Treasure Tower, he could finally go all out to refine Divine Essence Pills.


    On the tenth day, the Divine Essence Pills that Ye Yuan refined were already stabilized at high-grade.


    On the 18th day, the 280th day inside the World Suppressing Stele!


    Inside the array formation, light faded away. Eight divine essence stones became barren rocks.


    But a bright glint flashed across in Ye Yuan''s eyes, revealing an excited expression.


    "Haha, finally formed!"


    Looking at the superior-grade Divine Essence Pill in his hand, Ye Yuan also felt inexplicably excited.


    Divine pills were too hard to refine. In these 250 days, he refined pills, deliberated, refined pills, deliberated, over and over like this, no idea how many times he repeated it!


    All the way until today, refining his first superior-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    "Heh, just superior-grade, is there a need to be happy until like this? Refining a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill is merely just the beginning!" Dustless struck down without any mercy.


    Although his words were said like that, Ye Yuan''s improvement, Dustless took it into his sights every day and was long deeply convinced by Ye Yuan''s talent already.


    He felt that Ye Yuan was simply a genius born to refine pills!


    Ye Yuan used the greater part of a year and reached a height that others could only attain using a hundred years!


    This kind of improvement speed already could not be said to be fast to describe it.


    But Ye Yuan was not beaten down at all and said excitedly, "Senior doesn''t know, that in the past, my life-long pursuit was to refine a divine pill! Now that I refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill, it can also be regarded as attaining a higher level in divine pills! Junior is naturally happy!"


    Dustless''s requirement toward Ye Yuan was not superior-grade, but �� divine-grade!

 1304 Guest Alchemist!

    The grades of divine pills were not identical to mortal-grade medicinal pills.


    Above superior-grade was heaven-grade, and above heaven-grade was divine-grade!


    Just take the Divine Essence Pill for instance; refining an ordinary low-grade Divine Essence Pill could match a month''s bitter cultivation.


    Reaching high-grade, it could match a year of bitter cultivation.


    While divine-grade was sufficient to match ten years of bitter cultivation!


    Ten years of bitter cultivation was nothing in the cultivation of this Deity Realm.


    But the grades below divine-grade, if a person kept on taking them, the medicinal effects would continue to weaken.


    But divine-grade would not!


    This was also to say that if you could refine enough divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, your cultivation speed could reach ten times, a hundred times, even a thousand times of others!


    This way, the ordinary to the extreme Divine Essence Pill became extremely extraordinary.


    However, mortal-grade transcendent-grade medicinal pills were not worth mentioning at all in front of divine-grade Divine Essence Pills.


    It could not even compare to heaven-grade!


    And in the various major shops, they would never sell heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills.


    As for divine-grade, that was just a grade in the legends.


    Therefore, even though Ye Yuan refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill, Dustless was still pessimistic about him.


    Divine Essence Pill was just a kind of basic medicinal pill. It was still far from the One Star Heavenly Mark Pill!


    One Star Heavenly Mark Pill was a divine pill even harder to refine than the Profound Essence Pill!


    In this regard, it was very in-line with Ye Yuan''s cultivation mentality.


    That was that the foundation must be solidified!


    Refining the Divine Essence Pill to divine essence was precisely in order to solidify the foundation.


    ...


    "Sir Ye, you finally exited seclusion! The last time you gave Hong Yin quite a few high-grade Divine Essence Pills, it gave Hong Yin a fright! I wonder this time, will Sir Ye give Hong Yin a pleasant surprise once again?"


    When Hong Yin saw that Ye Yuan came out, she went forward to greet him with a wide grin, cracking a joke with him.


    Interacting a few times, Ye Yuan also became much more familiar with Hong Yin, especially after limitlessly providing Ye Yuan spirit medicines and divine essence stones.


    Recently, these few days, Ye Yuan exhausted large quantities of spirit medicines and divine essence stones. Even Hong Yin felt a bit overwhelmed too.


    Especially in the last two days, there were already quite a few people gossiping.


    Fortunately, after Manager Su knew about this matter, not only did he not blame her, he notified the warehouse side instead. Only then did it suppress those gossips.


    However, if Ye Yuan really only ate and not vomited, it would make things difficult for her.


    Hong Yin was also wagering, she was eying on Ye Yuan''s potential!


    If she could attract a future alchemy genius for the Myriad Treasure Tower, her position in the Myriad Treasure Tower would rise like the boat rising with the tide.


    Ye Yuan had read countless people, how could he not perceive that hint of nervousness in the depths of Hong Yin''s eyes?


    "I wonder if this is considered a pleasant surprise or not?"


    Ye Yuan placed the superior-grade Divine Essence Pill in front of Hong Yin with a smile.


    Hong Yin''s pupils constricted, her eyes full of incredulity.


    "Sir Ye, this �� this �� is too amazing!" Hong Yin was agitated until she was almost incoherent.


    No matter what grade of divine pill, the raw materials required were all the same.


    Hence, the higher the grade, the higher the added value of the medicinal pill.


    Similarly, materials worth 10 pieces of low-grade divine essence stones, once it reached superior-grade, then it was worth 500 low-grade divine essence stones.


    This was a 50-fold increment!


    How could Hong Yin expect that Ye Yuan actually refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill so quickly?


    Ye Yuan smiled and handed a storage ring to Hong Yin, saying with a smile, "The fruits in this period of time are all here. The Divine Essence Pill is useless to me, I didn''t take a single one, it''s all for the Myriad Treasure Tower."


    Hong Yin received the storage ring and examined, and was immediately stunned.


    Inside the storage ring, there were actually quite a dozen Divine Essence Pills. Furthermore, among them, 60% and above were high-grade, only 40% was low-grade.


    She looked at Ye Yuan like she saw a ghost, her eyes filled with astonishment.


    Previously, backtracking from Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, Hong Yin estimated that Ye Yuan''s pill refinement success rate was around 30%-40%.


    Truthfully speaking, it was already rather high!


    But now, Ye Yuan''s success rate was actually as high as 70%!


    This kind of success rate could be rated as frightening!


    Even Manager Su probably could not reach such a terrifying success rate either.


    "S-Sir Ye, you wait a moment, I have to report this matter to Manager Su! The pleasant surprise that you gave me was seriously a little too huge."


    Hong Yin said and disappeared with a whoosh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and found a place himself to sit down.


    With Ye Yuan''s personality, he did not like to be so high-profile. But if he did not reveal some strength, it was impossible for him to receive the Myriad Treasure Tower''s high regard.


    What he had to face currently was the powerful Liang Family. Furthermore, his divine sea was damaged. If he did not find a backstage supporter, it was very hard to beat the Liang Family.


    And the Myriad Treasure Tower was clearly the best supporter.


    He believed that it was impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower''s upper echelons to sit by idly and remain indifferent towards such a rising alchemy new star.


    Ye Yuan was clear about this in his heart; his improvement in this period of time, even Dustless was dumbfounded. It was impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower to remain indifferent.


    One superior-grade Divine Essence Pill was enough!


    ...


    "You''re saying that youth called Ye Yuan refined a superior-grade Divine Essence Pill with Formation Dao Pill Refinement?"


    A man in opulent clothing was also shocked when he heard Manager Su''s report.


    Manager Su nodded and said, "With this old man''s experience, it absolutely won''t be wrong! From the divine essence stones as well as the amount of spirit medicines that he consumed, it''s not hard to determine, these Divine Essence Pills all originated from the Lesser Divine Essence Formation!"


    The man in fine clothing mused for a moment and said, "If this is really the case, our Myriad Treasure Tower is in a favorable position. Investigated the background clearly?"


    Myriad Treasure Tower said, "Investigated clearly, he was saved by the Liang Family''s eldest miss in the wilderness, his origins unknown �� Now, the Liang Family seems to be hostile and wanted to harm him. That''s why he would hide in our Myriad Treasure Tower and not dare to go out."


    Manager Su rattled on, he actually already turned Ye Yuan inside out.


    The man in fine clothing was slightly surprised as he said, "In that case, he had the intention of exposing his alchemy talent to us and seeking our protection?"


    Manager Su said with a smile, "Looking at it now, it seems so!"


    The man in fine clothing mused briefly and seemed to be muttering to himself, "According to what you all said, this boy has clearly just came into contact with alchemy not long. Such talent is truly terrifying, his future prospects are bound to be limitless! This kind of talent, once learned by Jewelhill City''s other forces, he''ll surely be seized openly! Unless we kill him now, otherwise, it''s establishing a strong enemy for ourselves! We have no reason to refuse! Manager Su, you come forward on behalf of this tower lord and hire Ye Yuan to be the Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. All of the expenses that his pill refinement needs, count it all in my Myriad Treasure Tower''s books. Also, he''s completely without the power to protect himself right now, send Luo Jian to protect him."


    Manager Su bowed and said, "Tower Lord is wise!"


    Manager Su knew that Tower Lord Yang Rui was a person with tremendous foresight, and could definitely see Ye Yuan''s potential.


    Yang Rui scolded laughingly, "You old punk, stop sucking up! Oh, right, Hong Yin did very well this time, promote her a grade and bestow her a heaven-grade Divine Essence Pill."


    Manager Su said smilingly, "Then this old man will thank Tower Lord on behalf of Hong Yin."

 1305 Luo Jians Sword!

    Upon exiting the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan was blocked by Zhang Shun and another person.


    "Sir Ye, you''ve made us search for you bitterly. This disappearance is a month''s time!" Zhang Shun said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan was clear in his heart, but pretended to be puzzled and said, "Find me for? I heard that the Myriad Treasure Tower''s cultivation rooms were pretty good, so I came here to cultivate for some time."


    Zhang Shun was stupefied and said, "Cultivate?"


    You, a fellow with a damaged divine sea, cultivate what?


    Bullshitting wasn''t done like this, alright?


    Ye Yuan smiled but said nothing. Was cultivating alchemy not considered cultivation?"


    Zhang Shun laughed dryly and said, "Ha, it''s like this, Eldest Miss became seriously ill and has no appetite for food and drinks. Second Miss said that you''re the closest to her, so we''re asking you to return. Maybe it can make Eldest Miss take a turn for the better a bit."


    The two of them kept watch for so long and felt that Ye Yuan might have perceived a little something. Hence, that was why they made up a lie to trick Ye Yuan back before talking.


    There were too many people on the streets, it was hard to make a move.


    Actually, it was not considered a lie either.


    Because Liang Wanru was really almost dying!


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he said, "What''s going on?"


    Zhang Shun revealed an upset expression on his face and said, "This Zhang doesn''t know what''s going on either. It''s just that this period of time, her mood became more and more dejected, and she had less and less appetite for food and drinks. Now, she already can''t get down the bed!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and said, "Go, return to the Liang Family."


    Ye Yuan walked in front. Zhang Shun and the other person exchanged a glance, secretly ecstatic.


    But Zhang Shun discovered that a guy in worn-out clothes and bristly stubble was currently hugging a sword and following them unhurriedly.


    Zhang Shun''s heart sank. This guy, he actually could not fathom him.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower was not far from the Liang Family. Ye Yuan sped up and entered the Liang Family very soon.


    Zhang Shun discovered that that sword-hugging man actually wanted to enter too, and could not help stepping forward to stop the other party.


    "This brother, this place is the Liang Family''s manor, please stop!"


    The sword-hugging man seemingly did not hear his words at all, walking over straight towards him.


    Zhang Shun''s face fell and was about to make a move with another person.


    But when the two of them just had this thought, only to see two gusts of strong wind arrive with a howl.


    The two people''s gaze turned intent, their bodies abruptly stopping.


    Two strands of broken hair floated down. The two people''s backs were instantly matted in cold sweat.


    Such a quick sword!


    The two of them did not see how this gruff man attacked at all!


    They did not doubt in the slightest that as long as that sword earlier was somewhat deeper, the two of their heads would definitely be gone already.


    In the time where they were dazed, the sword-hugging man already followed Ye Yuan in.


    "Senior, where''s Wanru?" Ye Yuan asked in a solemn voice.


    "Inside the dungeon at the backyard. I''ll lead you over," Dustless said.


    Under Dustless''s guidance, Ye Yuan found the dungeon''s entrance very soon.


    The ones watching the dungeon were all mortals. Ye Yuan sent them flying with a punch.


    Inside the dungeon, Ye Yuan found the gaunt and thin Liang Wanru.


    Her two eyes were sunken, her lips purple. Clearly, she was already deeply poisoned.


    However, when she saw Ye Yuan, that dead gray eyes finally glowed with a trace of light.


    Ye Yuan felt his heart ached. Such a kind-hearted girl, why did she have to suffer such unfair treatment?


    He squatted down by the bed and said softly, "Come with me, alright? This place already has nothing worth for you to look back anymore."


    Liang Wanru''s eyes revealed a look of struggle. Finally, she still nodded her head.


    Ye Yuan let out a deep sigh. At this point, this girl still had a hint of sentimental attachment.


    He reached his hands out and carried Liang Wanru, walking straight outside.


    Luo Jian was just like a shadow, following behind Ye Yuan unhurriedly.


    "Today, I, Ye Yuan, owe you a favor!" Ye Yuan said when he passed by Luo Jian.


    Luo Jian did not speak and did not indicate anything either. he still followed Ye Yuan just like that.


    Upon exiting, the dungeon''s entrance was already surrounded by a large group of people.


    The two people in front were precisely Liang Mingyu husband and wife.


    "Ye Yuan, you ungrateful and despicable villain! My daughter saved you, but you actually repaid kindness with ingratitude and injured our Liang Family''s guards!" Liang Mingyu shouted.


    Ye Yuan looked at him, a hint of cold light flashed across in his eyes.


    It was said that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs, this Liang Mingyu was simply worse than a beast.


    "Heh, what did I say? That beast tide that time was probably done by this boy himself! He coveted that whore''s beauty, that''s why he would deliberately draw the beast tide to play out a hero rescuing the beauty!" Wang Pianran fanned the flames at one side.


    Liang Mingyu''s brows furrowed. He was rather sensitive to the word ''whore.''


    His daughter was a ''whore'', then what was he?


    But at this time, it was clearly not the time to fuss over these.


    Ye Yuan discovered that this family was simply unreasonable.


    Liang Wanru being born in this kind of family and was actually able to maintain her original nature was truly not easy.


    "Repaying kindness with ingratitude? Or is it having diabolical ambitions? Miss Wanru saving me, that''s what I owe her. This young master will naturally repay her. As for you guys, what has it got to do with me?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "What a joke! Wanru is my daughter, her saving you is naturally the Liang Family saving you! You didn''t think to pay and actually even abducted Wanru! Today, you can forget about walking out of the Liang Family''s gates," Liang Mingyu said coldly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and opened his mouth to say, "Repay? I wonder if I hand over the beast taming art, would you all be satisfied?"


    When Liang Mingyu and Wang Pianran heard ''beast taming art,'' the three words, their eyes all lit up, their emotions becoming agitated.


    But Liang Mingyu was rather shrewd. How could he display his own greed so easily?


    "Humph! Boy, don''t give me that! You barged into the Liang Wanru and abducted Wanru, this is an unforgivable crime! Put down Wanru right now and surrender obediently without putting up resistance. Perhaps this family head can still spare your life!" Liang Mingyu said with insidious plans.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Family Head Liang, you really want to lead the life of a whore and also expect a monument to your chastity! However, not only does this young master want to go out today, I even want to bring Miss Wanru along with me. If you have the capabilities, come and try stopping."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan carried Liang Wanru and walked straight out.


    "Heh, a crippled boy actually dared to boast so shamelessly! Do you think that by relying on that fellow behind you, you can break out of our Liang Family? You''re also looking down on the Liang Family''s strength too much!"


    Liang Mingyu gave a cold laugh. Instantly, over a dozen figures surrounded Ye Yuan and Luo Jian.


    Looking from these people''s auras, they were actually all initial-stage Grotto Profound powerhouses!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Over a dozen figures assaulted Ye Yuan at the same time, not giving Luo Jian the slightest opportunity to save people.


    But right at this time, everyone felt a blur before their eyes. Over a dozen gusts of fierce wind abruptly howled past.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Blood light suffused!


    The dozen over figures were directly sent flying out by these dozen over gusts of strong wind.


    Liang Mingyu''s pupils constricted and looked at Luo Jian in disbelief as he cried out in shock, "Gale Sword! You �� you''re the Myriad Treasure Tower''s Luo Jian!"


    Luo Jian rarely showed face in public, but his Gale Sword was very renowned.


    The moment he attacked, Liang Mingyu finally recognized him.


    Such a swift sword, who else could it be apart from Luo Jian?


    "Ye Yuan is my Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. Whoever touches him, shall be the enemy of the sword in my hand!" Luo Jian spoke for the first time.

 1306 Stringing Together Sugar Coated Haws

    "G-Guest alchemist? B-Brother Luo, you wouldn''t be mistaken, right? He, a cripple, how to refine pills?"


    Liang Mingyu felt that this reason was not funny at all!


    Ye Yuan did not even have a trace of divine essence on his body, what would he use to refine pills?


    However, Luo Jian was the Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one expert, a late-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouse!


    This guy was a sword fanatic. His sword arts had reached the highest level of attainments, his strength pushing straight for grand completion Grotto Heaven powerhouse.


    This guy could not be provoked!


    Therefore, even though Luo Jian''s reason was off the mark, Liang Mingyu was secretly startled in his heart.


    No matter what this reason was, Ye Yuan had a very deep relationship with the Myriad Treasure Tower right now, this was beyond all doubt.


    Luo Jian this person was not what a cripple like Ye Yuan could command.


    Who knew that after Luo Jian said finish this sentence, he became a mute again and did not make any more sound.


    That appearance was really cool to the extreme.


    "Family Head Liang, it''s still that sentence, if you have the capabilities, come and try stopping." Ye Yuan mocked.


    Liang Mingyu could not help choking up when he heard that, but he really became cautious in taking action.


    Luo Jian was someone that they could not afford to provoke!


    Wang Pianran said anxiously by the side, "Mingyu, what are you scared of him for? Jewelhill City isn''t Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s domain either, with our Wang Family backing you up, still scared of him, a Myriad Treasure Tower? Call Second Uncle out, I want to see if this whatever Luo Jian is really as formidable as in the legends!"


    Wang Pianran winked at Liang Mingyu vigorously, signaling how great the value on Ye Yuan was.


    In the end, it was still greed and overwhelmed reason.


    Only to see his expression turn cold, and he said, "Go and invite Second Elder over, just say that the Liang Family has encountered a powerful foe and request for his elderly self to assist! Then the others, attack together. I don''t believe that he can protect that boy''s safety alone!"


    Under Liang Mingyu''s command, all of the Deity Realm powerhouses all gathered together, surrounding Ye Yuan trio.


    With this, it was a life-and-death struggle.


    Ye Yuan and Luo Jian behaved like there was nobody around them, walking straight towards the gate.


    Those family guards were all afraid of Luo Jian and just surrounded the three people, but no one dared to make a move.


    "All attack for me! Those who defy will be opposing the Liang Family and Wang Family!"


    Wang Pianran''s shrill scream sounded out. Everyone could not help shuddering.


    A martial artist finally could not resist making a move. But the blade in his hand had just raised up, and a gust of force-wind assailed.


    "ARGH!!"


    A tragic scream echoed. That martial artist''s arm directly flew out along with his weapon.


    Everyone did not see clearly how Luo Jian attacked. That person''s arm was directly severed at the wrist.


    Everyone just felt a cold wind swoosh. With this, there was really no one who dared to take action anymore.


    No matter how Wang Pianran shouted, they did not dare to make a move anymore either.


    Could not even see how he made his move, how to fight still?


    Ye Yuan and Luo Jian strolled idly and walked towards the outside unhurriedly as if nothing happened at all.


    That appearance was truly condescending.


    However, the Liang Family''s people had no temper.


    Liang Mingyu himself was merely middle-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm, even a notch inferior to Luo Jian. How could he dare to make a move?


    He was aware that Luo Jian this person would never care about the strength of his opponent. The moment he made his move, it must draw blood.


    Even if your strength was greater than his, he would also fight to the end.


    Either you die or he perishes!


    Looking as the two people were about to leave the Liang Family, Liang Mingyu and Wang Pianran were very panicky.


    Right at this time, everyone just felt a blur before their eyes. An old man already appeared at the gate.


    "Second Uncle!"


    When Liang Mingyu saw the old man, he was immediately overjoyed.


    This old man was Liang Mingyu''s second uncle, also the person with the strongest combat power at present in the Liang Family; late-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouse, Liang Hui.


    "Mingyu, what''s going on here?" Hearing the mournful cries in the courtyard, Liang Hui said with a frown.


    "Second Uncle, Wanru saved that boy, but who knew that that kid was a wolf with wild ambitions, to actually covet Wanru''s beauty, breaking into the Liang Family to abduct her away!" Liang Mingyu said.


    The moment Liang Hui heard this, he could not help flying into a great rage and glared at Ye Yuan as he said, "A cripple actually dares to be so insolent at my Liang Family?"


    Liang Mingyu hurriedly said, "This boy used no idea what kind of trick, to actually obtain the Myriad Treasure Tower''s protection. They actually sent Luo Jian out to protect him. In our powerlessness, that''s why we interrupted Second Uncle''s peaceful cultivation."


    Liang Hui was startled and could not help looking towards that burly man behind Ye Yuan.


    Liang Mingyu continued when he saw the situation: "Second Uncle, you just have to hold Luo Jian back, when we take down that crippled boy, he won''t dare to be insolent anymore."


    Liang Hui''s face fell, and he said with a nod, "No problem! This Luo Jian''s strength is strong, but this old man can still hold him for a while. The rest will be left to you all!"


    Liang Mingyu was thrilled the moment he heard it and said, "Rest assured, Second Uncle. That kid is merely a cripple, I''ll take it upon myself later!"


    Liang Hui nodded his head and said to Luo Jian, "Luo Jian! You''re the Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman, but today, you broke into my Liang Family and injured people! It''s truly bullying people too far! This old man will come and face-off with you, see if you, this Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman, has an undeserved reputation or not!"


    Luo Jian was still silent, giving people the feeling that there was only him alone in the whole world.


    Liang Hui''s face fell and his figure shot forth. His hand already had an additional treasure sword at goodness knows when, charging over towards Luo Jian.


    Deity Realm powerhouses, even just a minor realm apart, the disparity was very huge too!


    Late-stage Grotto Profound compared to middle-stage Grotto Profound was god knows how many times stronger.


    Wanting to leap realms and battle was virtually something impossible.


    Many martial artists expended as long as 10 thousand years and were only able to break through a minor realm too.


    Liang Hui''s strength already infinitely approached Grotto Profound grand completion. This opening move was truly earth-shattering.


    At the same time he made his move, Liang Mingyu moved too!


    His target was Ye Yuan!


    Although Luo Jian was known as the Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman, his strength was merely around on par with Liang Hui. Wanting to shake off Liang Hui absolutely could not be done within a short time.


    Therefore, that was why he would set his mind at east and attack boldly.


    But right at this time, a fierce gale swept up!


    Clank!


    A light ringing sound echoed out!


    This time, everyone finally saw Luo Jian unleash his sword!


    No berserk sword energy, no outrageous divine essence undulations, just stabbing out a sword plainly.


    Clank!


    A crisp metal clashing sound echoed out.


    Puchi!


    Luo Jian''s long sword stabbed into Liang Hui''s chest viciously.


    However, the remnant momentum did not diminish. Liang Mingyu''s figure had just reached midair when Luo Jian''s sword carried along Liang Hui, directly stringing them up together!


    The two sounds of a long sword entering the flesh made everyone shudder with fear.


    "This �� How could he be so strong? Second Elder is only one last step away from Grotto Profound grand completion, to actually fail to last one exchange under Luo Jian''s hands!"


    "What to do? The Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman is actually so strong!"


    "This time, the Liang Family really kicked a steel plate! The Myriad Treasure Tower is what we can provoke at all!"


    The Liang Family''s guards were all deeply astounded by this scene. This Luo Jian was truly too strong.


    By the side, Ye Yuan was apathetic to this scene and carried Liang Wanru, slowly walking out of the Liang Family''s gate.

 1307 Inviting Humiliation?

    "Elder Feng, how is it?"


    Inside a box room of the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan being anxious and fretful was asking Feng Ping who was currently taking Liang Wanru''s pulse.


    Feng Ping was Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist. Under Manager Su''s recommendation, he agreed to diagnose Liang Wanru''s pulse.


    Ye Yuan was currently a so-called Alchemy God, but he could only refine Divine Essence Pills. Regarding Liang Wanru''s situation, there was nothing he could do about it at all.


    Feng Ping shook his head and said with a sigh, "Miss Wanru''s body is that of a mortal, but she''s suffering from a divine rank slow-acting poison. How can her body endure it? Right now, the poison has already entered the viscera, and is about to reach the heart!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression could not help changing when he heard that. He did not have divine essence currently and was unable to help Liang Wanru diagnose her pulse.


    But this poison entering the heart, he, as an experienced alchemist, naturally knew how dangerous it was.


    No matter how weak the poison, as long as it entered the heart, then it was difficult for even immortals to save!


    "Elder Feng, could it be that there''s no other way?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Feng Ping shook his head and said, "To detoxify this poison, it must be a one-star divine-grade Detoxification Pill! In this Jewelhill City, there''s still no one capable of refining a one-star divine-grade Detoxification Pill!"


    A divine-grade Detoxification Pill, that was truly a god-like existence.


    Forget about being in Jewelhill City, even a two-star alchemy god might not be able to refine it either.


    Divine-grade medicinal pills required absolute strength plus heaven-defying luck before one could refine successfully.


    By the side, Manager Su also sighed and said, "I know this girl. Although she can''t talk, her disposition is very pure. I didn''t expect that Liang Mingyu actually did this kind of tiger eating its own cubs thing, truly utterly devoid of conscience!"


    Elder Feng revealed a disdainful look and said, "Liang Mingyu this person is too snobbish. Back then, in order to draw close to the Wang Family, he married Wang Pianran before his wife''s corpse was cold. It has always been passed down as a joke in this Jewelhill City."


    Manager Su suddenly had a look of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back, but it drew Ye Yuan''s attention.


    "Manager Su, do you have any way that can save Wanru?" Ye Yuan hurriedly asked.


    Feng Ping gave Manager Su a glance and said, "Don''t think about it, it won''t work."


    Manager Su said, "Yeah, Ye Yuan, this path truly can''t work. Better not say, in case you are troubled by it."


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "Where did this come from? Manager Su, Miss Wanru is this Ye''s benefactor, no matter how difficult the matter, this Ye is willing to go do it too!"


    Feng Ping smiled and said, "This matter, you probably really can''t do it."


    Ye Yuan had a puzzled look. Manager Su let out a sigh and said, "The poison that Miss Wanru is inflicted with is called Poisonfeather Thousand Night. It''s the Wang Family''s non-transmissible secret. This kind of poison, as long as it doesn''t enter the heart, the Wang Family''s Wang Lingbo can treat it!"


    "That Wang Pianran is precisely Wang Lingbo''s biological sister!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted together. Feng Ping and Manager Su''s meaning was already very obvious.


    This was the Wang Family''s poison; only the Wang Family could cure it.


    And the Wang Family was precisely Wang Pianran''s maiden family!


    Have Ye Yuan go and beg the Wang Family?


    Ye Yuan going to the Liang Family this time to abduct people and even had Luo Jian seriously injure the second elder and Liang Mingyu, the grudge was already set in stone.


    With Wang Pianran that woman''s ruthlessness, how could she possibly let her own brother save Liang Wanru?


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and asked Feng Ping, "Elder Feng, how long can Miss Wanru still last?"


    Feng Ping thought about it and said, "That''s hard to say. Probably the latest is also tomorrow!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, and he asked again, "Elder Feng, Ye Yuan wants to request a one-star heaven-grade Detoxification Pill from you, is it allowed? Of course, this Ye don''t want it for free either. This Ye can use a hundred heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills to compensate."


    Feng Ping gave Ye Yuan a glance and said smilingly, "According to what I know, you seem to only know how to refine Divine Essence Pills currently, right? Do you plan to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill yourself? Give up! There''s absolutely no way!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I''ll go to the Wang Family, if they agree to hand over the antidote, it''s naturally a happy ending. If they don''t agree �� then there''s only this Ye taking action myself!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone greatly astonished.


    They had already discerned that he was an extremely proud person from this incident of Ye Yuan forcefully breaking into the Liang Family.


    This matter of lowering his head to people, it should be that he absolutely would not do it.


    Moreover, everyone had a score in their hearts that even if Ye Yuan deigned himself, the possibility of the Wang Family agreeing was virtually zero.


    For the sake of Liang Wanru this lass, Ye Yuan was actually willing to suffer such humiliation!


    "Ye Yuan, have you thought clearly?" Manager Su was visibly moved as he said.


    But Ye Yuan smiled broadly and said, "Miss Wanru suffered such a tribulation because of me. She had a life-saving grace to me, why would I, Ye Yuan, not throw this face out? Even if there''s only a feeble ray of hope, this Ye have to give it a try too!"


    Everyone was visibly moved. They did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually such a loyal and sentimental person!


    Elder Feng and Elder Su were both extremely shrewd people. They had long seen through that Ye Yuan''s gaze when looking at Liang Wanru was without the slightest lust, indicating that he did not have presumptuous ideas towards Liang Wanru.


    Then Ye Yuan was doing this just in order to repay the kindness!


    At this time, Ye Yuan felt the corners of his sleeves more. Turned out that it was Liang Wanru who pulled it.


    Lowering his head to take a look, he saw that two clear streams of tears were flowing down Liang Wanru''s eyes.


    Even though she was very weak at this time, her mind was still clear.


    Ye Yuan was actually willing to suffer such humiliation for her, she was very upset in her heart.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Miss Wanru, you don''t have to be like this. This Ye has a score in my heart. You rest assured, this Ye will definitely save you!"


    Liang Wanru nodded slightly, but her emotions were somewhat agitated.


    ...


    "Brother, you have to stand up for me this time! You don''t know how arrogant that brat who''s surnamed Ye was at that time! He didn''t place our Wang Family in his sights at all ��"


    At the Wang Family''s residence, Wang Pianran was just like a machine gun, besmirching Ye Yuan in front of Wang Lingbo.


    Wang Lingbo stood with his hands behind his back, quietly listening to his sister''s complaints, but did not express anything.


    He knew this younger sister''s temperament. It was already pretty good to have 10% of everything she said to be credible.


    Furthermore, how could the Liang Family''s matters need Wang Pianran to sow discord?


    He knew long ago!


    "Pianran, you tell me honestly, just what secret is there on that Ye Yuan''s boy''s body?" Wang Lingbo said with a heated gaze.


    Wang Pianran was stunned when she heard that, her gaze started becoming evasive.


    "Brother, you �� what do you mean?"


    Wang Lingbo said with a smile, "Pianran, a married woman should stand by her man, this is correct. But don''t you forget, who was the one who gave you your position in the Liang Family! The Liang Family can be pulled, but �� also have to be struck! Do you think that Liang Mingyu obeying you in every way is really because you have power over major issues?"


    Wang Pianran was suddenly startled. Only then did she realize that Elder Brother definitely executed many means behind her back these few years.


    Liang Mingyu was hesitant to take action in fear of damages, and that was why he would please her in every way!


    "Brother, I �� I ��"


    Wang Lingbo''s one sentence made Wang Pianran completely flustered.


    In term of schemes, she was far too lacking!


    "The more stable the Wang Family''s position in Jewelhill City, the more pleasant your little days will be! Wouldn''t you say so?" Wang Lingbo still said with a smile.


    Wang Pianran nodded her head woodenly.


    "So, just what secret is there on that boy''s body?"

 1308 Wang Familys Humiliation

    "Hey, kid, the family head isn''t free today. You go back first. If you want to meet him, wait here tomorrow morning!"


    A steward-like middle-aged man was currently shouting at Ye Yuan rudely.


    Three days had already passed since Ye Yuan entered the Liang Family to rescue someone.


    During these three days'' time, Ye Yuan waited at the Wang Family''s gate-house every day early in the morning.


    All the way until the sun set, what he got was all the same sentence.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was Wang Lingbo deliberately hanging him out to dry.


    But Ye Yuan did not reveal the slightest hint of unhappiness. He just clasped his hands slightly at that doorman and bade his farewell.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, the doorman also felt somewhat surprised.


    "This kid is really tenacious. If it were others, they wouldn''t be able to take it long ago," the doorman muttered to himself.


    These few days, they changed ways to make things difficult for Ye Yuan, various kinds of suddenly turning hostile, even pouring tea on Ye Yuan''s face. But Ye Yuan did not have any complaints. After smiling slightly, he stood at one side and waited again.


    Just today, a Wang Family''s descendant came to the gate-house and gave Ye Yuan a beating with blocking the way as the reason.


    Ye Yuan still did not fight back when beaten and did not talk back when scolded.


    Honestly speaking, even the doorman himself also could not quite look on anymore.


    If it were others, they would have long left in a rage.


    But Ye Yuan forcefully endured it.


    The time limit that Ye Yuan set for himself was five days. After five days, if Wang Lingbo was still not willing to meet, he would cultivate himself, and refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill!


    Ye Yuan had sought a heaven-grade Detoxification Pill from Fengping. After Liang Wanru consumed it, it temporarily suppressed the spread of the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison.


    Fortunately, the heaven-grade Detoxification Pill was effective enough and was able to delay the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison for 40 days before flaring up again.


    This way, Ye Yuan would have 40 days of buffer time.


    The refining difficulty of the Detoxification Pill was much greater than the Divine Essence Pill.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was an incidental thing.


    According to Dustless''s way of saying, the next step was to practice refining the Detoxification Pill. It just happened to lay down the foundation for the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill.


    However, Ye Yuan had to first cultivate the Divine Essence Pill to divine-grade.


    This task was very difficult. Ye Yuan himself also did not know whether or not it could be completed, and he also could not bear to watch Liang Wanru suffer.


    Therefore, being aware that the Wang Family was deliberately insulting him, he also forcefully tolerated it.


    Fortunes changed, there would come a day where the Wang Family had to pay the price for their actions.


    Luo Jian followed behind Ye Yuan unhurriedly; a glimmer flashed across his eyes.


    This kind of look was rare on him.


    "Haha, Brother, it''s really liberating! You really don''t know how arrogant this brat was at the Liang Family that day! I didn''t expect that he doesn''t even dare to let out a fart until now! Looks like that little girl still has some means, to actually enthrall this boy until he loses his head, willingly suffering such humiliation for her."


    Getting to know the ''fruits'' of these few days, Wang Pianran laughed very delightedly.


    Wang Lingbo smiled faintly and said, "This boy is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, but can suffer such humiliation. This determination isn''t easy to deal with! This kind of person, if can''t become friends with, then there''s �� only making him die!"


    But Wang Pianran was indifferent as she said, "Brother, you worry too much! Just a cripple. If not relying on the Myriad Treasure Tower, he''d die however I want to make him die!"


    Wang Lingbo glanced at this foolish sister of his, shook his head, and said no more.


    He called the doorman over and instructed, "Tomorrow morning, when that boy comes, directly lead him to the great hall."


    ...


    The next day, when Ye Yuan showed up at the Wang Family''s great hall, Wang Lingbo, Wang Pianran, Liang Wanrong, were already waiting in an arranged order, in the solemn manner of a tri-hall joint hearing.


    Ye Yuan did not mind either. He just clasped his hands at Wang Lingbo and said, "Ye Yuan has seen Family Head Lingbo!"


    Wang Lingbo narrowed his eyes as if he did not see Ye Yuan at all. His attitude was very haughty.


    "You''re the Myriad Treasure Tower''s newly promoted guest alchemist?"


    "Yes!"


    "Looks very ordinary! You''re looking for me for the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s antidote?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right? Miss Wanru is at any rate Family Head Lingbo''s niece. Hope that you can raise your hand in mercy and let her off!"


    "Huhu, niece? Ye Yuan, you''re telling bald-faced lies here! My brother only has one niece, that is Rong-er! That whore, if she dies, she dies! To dare be mentioned in the same breath with my family''s Rong-er?" Wang Pianran giggled.


    That face piled up with fats looked incomparably hideous.


    Wang Lingbo said coolly, "What Pianran said is right, that lass has no blood relations with me at all, on what basis should I save her? Or is it that you can take out something that can move this family head?"


    While talking, a glint flashed across Wang Lingbo''s eyes.


    Beast taming arts that could command a late-stage Tier 1 divine beast, even Wang Lingbo also had to be tempted.


    Ye Yuan looked at Wang Lingbo and said coolly, "I know that you all want the beast taming art, but I don''t have any beast taming arts at all!"


    Wang Pianran immediately berated, "Do you take us to be three-year-old children? You, a cripple, but can control a late-stage Tier 1 divine beast. Without beast taming arts, how can you possibly do it?"


    Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense. A surge of faint dragon pressure was released.


    Feeling this surge of dragon wave, Wang Lingbo''s pupils constricted.


    Although this bout of pressure was not strong, it was indeed an authentic dragon race pressure!


    He finally knew that Ye Yuan was not lying, his eyes revealing a thick look of disappointment.


    His face turned cold, and he said, "Since you don''t have beast taming arts, then what right do you have to make me save an unrelated person? Moreover, that lass''s existence is a threat to Rong-er in itself!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "This Ye has nothing valuable. But, as long as Family Head is willing to save Miss Rong-er, this Ye is willing to refine pills for the Wang Family for 10 years, and not take a single cent!"


    Wang Lingbo smiled disdainfully and said, "Do you really think that I''ll believe that you''re some guest alchemist? An alchemist would go and seek help from Feng Ping? Just a cripple, what medicinal pills can you refine? However �� I can give you a chance. If you accomplish it, it''s not that I can''t save that girl."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said, "Family Head, please say."


    Wang Lingbo smiled coldly and said, "Your actions, Rong-er is very upset. She has already cried about it to me several times! As long as you can make her happy, it''s not impossible for this family head to save her."


    Liang Wanrong walked down from the hall at this time, circled around Ye Yuan twice, and said smugly, "Boy, didn''t think that you''d land in this young lady''s hands one day, right? Weren''t you very cocky? Didn''t you look down on this young lady? If you have the capabilities, say it one more time!"


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and bowed deeply to Liang Wanrong and said, "It was this Ye who was rude, hope that Miss Wanrong doesn''t take offense!"


    Liang Wanrong said delightedly, "Want me to not take offense, also can! I just have one request, kneel down, and call this young lady grand-aunt thrice! Maybe if I''m happy, I''ll let Uncle give you the antidote!"


    Behind Ye Yuan, Luo Jian involuntarily gripped his sword, truly somewhat unable to look on anymore.


    But all of a sudden, Liang Wanrong''s gaze became hazy. Her complexion became flushed, and she pounced toward Wang Lingbo.

 1309 Luo Jians Appraisal

    "Uncle, actually, Rong-er has already liked you for very long!"


    Liang Wanrong sprinted all the way. While running, she even took off her clothes and headed for the Wang Lingbo sitting above.


    She had fallen for Ye Yuan''s move last time, and now the same thing happened. She was too elated with the situation that she forgot it. She had long tossed the matter of falling for this move back then beyond the nine clouds.


    Caught unaware, Ye Yuan directly made her succumb.


    When Wang Pianran saw this scene, she could not help jumping with fright. Why would her daughter suddenly become like this?


    Wang Lingbo''s brows furrowed. Waving his hand, it was a slap.


    Slap!


    A clear slapping sound echoed throughout the entire great hall, clear and audible.


    Liang Wanrong was directly slapped until she spun in the air. When she landed on the ground, she was already out cold.


    "Rong-er! Brother, what are you doing!"


    Wang Pianran screamed at the top of her voice, and she hurriedly went over to help up her daughter.


    But Wang Lingbo ignored his sister. He used a murderous gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    "Ocular arts! Heh, I really underestimated you! But �� you deserve death!"


    Wang Lingbo''s face was cold. Clearly, he had killing intent aroused towards Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If we can''t see eye-to-eye, then don''t talk anymore. But don''t take this Ye to be an idiot! Luo Jian, let''s go!"


    Ye Yuan turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.


    A flicker of surprise flashed across Luo Jian''s gaze. His look when looking at Ye Yuan finally had a slight change.


    Wang Lingbo''s brows furrowed and he said coldly, "If you dare to walk out of this front door, that girl will be dead for sure!"


    Ye Yuan turned around and looked at Wang Lingbo as he said with a faint smile, "Rest assured, even if you die, Wanru won''t die! Not only won''t she die, but she''ll even open her mouth and speak anew, stepping into Deity Realm. She will let you all, people who bullied her, have a good look!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left, and did not look back again.


    Wang Lingbo laughed wildly and said, "Hahaha �� Ignorant child! My Wang Family''s Poisonfeather Thousand Night, even Feng Ping that old fart can''t do anything about it. With just the likes of you, a brat who''s still wet behind the ears? Dream on!"


    As for what Ye Yuan said, making Wanru open her mouth and speak, and step into Deity Realm, Wang Lingbo even directly chose to ignore it.


    This �� was impossible!


    The reason why Ye Yuan chose to take action against Liang Wanrong was that he saw through this family, and they had no good faith at all.


    He had been examining the words and expressions all along. When Wang Lingbo learned that he did not have beast taming arts, he thoroughly lost interest in him.


    What replaced it was a look of disdain and banter.


    This kind of people''s words, Ye Yuan would not believe at all.


    Even if he really knelt down for Liang Wanru, it was also impossible for Wang Lingbo to give him the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s antidote.


    The reason why he said so was entirely in order to humiliate him.


    If he really knelt down and begged, not only would the other party not give him the antidote, they would even go from bad to worse.


    Hence, he decisively chose to take action against Liang Wanrong.


    She wanted to humiliate him, then let her disgrace herself first!


    Ye Yuan walked straight out of the Wang Family and never looked back.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Wang Lingbo''s expression was grim to the extreme.


    ...


    "This Ye Yuan, what do you think of him?" Yang Rui''s gaze was deep as he asked Luo Jian.


    He had Luo Jian follow Ye Yuan. It was to protect Ye Yuan and also naturally to monitor and observe Ye Yuan.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s origins were unknown.


    "High morality reaching up to the clouds, wise and farsighted, unfathomable!" Luo Jian appraised.


    Yang Rui''s gaze flickered, revealing a look of surprise and he said in surprise, "Oh? Someone able to make you evaluate like so isn''t simple! This boy is truly so impressive?"


    Yang Yui knew that Luo Jian''s experience was exceedingly vast. Ordinary people could not enter his arcane sights at all.


    There had never been a person who could make him appraise so highly before.


    High morality reaching up to the clouds, he could understand. Wise and farsighted was also barely passable.


    But a cripple with a damaged divine sea, no matter how formidable, it was limited too. Luo Jian actually used ''unfathomable'' to describe him. It truly made Yang Rui very surprised.


    "Perhaps, he''s a dragon wandering the shoal!" A glint flashed in Luo Jian''s eyes.


    Yang Rui''s face revealed a musing look, and he said, "Then your meaning is that us roping this boy is correct?"


    Luo Jian was silent for a moment and then said, "Maybe there will be unexpected gains."


    Yang Rui frowned and said, "Then do you think you can refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?"


    Luo Jian shook his head. Clearly, he also did not think that Ye Yuan could create a miracle.


    After all, there were only over 30 days.


    And Ye Yuan seemed to only know how to refine Divine Essence Pill currently. Wanting to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill, this was simply something impossible.


    ...


    Returning to the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan applied for sufficient quantities of medicinal herbs and divine essence stones from Manager Su. He then directly chose to enter closed-seclusion.


    Out of 40 days, four days were already spent. He still had 36 days, which was also a year''s time.


    In this one year, not only did he have to cultivate the Divine Essence Pill to divine-grade, he even had to cultivate the One-star Detoxification Pill to divine-grade!


    This task was even more daunting than him cultivating the Divine Essence Pill.


    Starting closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan began to refine day and night.


    Although Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Lesser Divine Essence Formation became increasingly profound, wanting to refine a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill, it was still far too lacking.


    He was still a long away from heaven-grade right now!


    "The Lesser Divine Essence Formation is the foundation of all rank one pill refining formations. Not training it to the acme of perfection, it''s impossible for other array formations to have any accomplishments," Dustless said.


    "Senior, rest assured. I have a score in my heart and won''t rush for quick results," Ye Yuan said.


    "En, although your talent is extraordinary, wanting to cultivate the Divine Essence Pill and Detoxification Pill to the divine-grade realm within a year is still too forceful! Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared."


    "No need to be mentally prepared. I''ll definitely succeed!" Ye Yuan said with a sharp gaze.


    Dustless looked at Ye Yuan and said no more.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan belonged to that kind of becoming stronger when encountering something stronger personality.


    The greater the difficulty faced, the more his fighting intent surged instead.


    Although pill refinement did not compare to fighting, the difficulty placed in front of Ye Yuan was even greater than fighting.


    Calm whenever encountering major issues!


    This was the feeling that Ye Yuan gave Dustless.


    Before failure, he would absolutely not see that sort of dispirited mood from Ye Yuan.


    It seemed like Ye Yuan would never consider the issue of what happens after failure.


    Dustless also had no choice but to admit that this kind of quality was extremely rare.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan had come along this way, relying on precisely this quality.


    One had to admit that entering the Selfless Realm at that time, the help to Ye Yuan was seriously too great.


    According to normal comprehension, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to comprehend the medicinal properties of those few kinds of spirit medicines to such an extent in such a short time.


    Through the refinement previously, Ye Yuan''s comprehension of the spirit medicines'' medicinal properties already reached 80%!


    Adding on Ye Yuan''s comprehension towards the Lesser Divine Essence Formation becoming deeper and deeper, his attainments in the Divine Essence Pill advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Half a month later, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine superior-grade Divine Essence Pills.


    One and a half months later, Ye Yuan finally refined a heaven-grade Divine Essence Pill for the first time.


    Three months later, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills!


    Finally, Ye Yuan arrived at the threshold of refining a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill!

 1310 Drawing Parallels from Inference!

    Heaven-grade!


    Heaven-grade!


    Still heaven-grade!


    Half a year already passed since Ye Yuan entered closed-seclusion. But no matter how Ye Yuan refined, he was also unable to break through to divine-grade!


    Heaven-grade to divine-grade was like an insurmountable chasm. No matter how hard Ye Yuan worked, he was also unable to cross it.


    Three months ago, Ye Yuan was already able to steadily refine heaven-grade medicinal pills.


    But three months passed, Ye Yuan made no progress at all.


    "Senior, I''ve already completely comprehended the spirit medicines'' medicinal properties. The Lesser Divine Essence Formation is also thoroughly comprehended already. Why is it that I just can''t refine divine-grade Divine Essence Pills?" Ye Yuan wondered.


    Dustless said, "Divine-grade is not in the ranking in the first place. Refining heaven-grade medicinal pills, as long as one worked hard, it can be achieved. But divine-grade, it will depend on one''s comprehension ability and lucky chances! For the same type of medicinal pill, divine-grade is another kind of realm! Only with repeated tempering can one have a possibility of comprehending Dao. But this to you is the hardest. Three months'' time, it is too short!"


    One could say that divine-grade was the grade that tested an alchemist''s pill refinement talent!


    Insufficient talent, no matter how hard you worked, it was also not possible to refine divine-grade medicinal pills.


    But even if ordinary alchemists'' were exceptionally talented, it was also not possible to refine a divine-grade divine pill within three months.


    Forget about three months, even three years, 30 years, it was also impossible!


    A hint of understanding flashed inside Ye Yuan''s mind, and he said, "In this case, divine-grade divine pills already belong to the domain of ''Dao''? Just like when I refined the Dao Defying Pill, it aroused the resonance of Heavenly Dao, the same?"


    Dustless stroked his beard and smiled, praising, "That''s right! The path of medicinal pills, the things refined are corporeal objects, emphasizing skill but slighting the Dao. Therefore, wanting to touch the fleeting and ephemeral Heavenly Dao would be even more difficult!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "I understand!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged and no longer refined pills.


    In his mind, he started recalling his contact with divine pills bit by bit.


    From Dustless narrating the spirit medicines'' medicinal properties to comprehending the Lesser Divine Essence Formation, then to forming the pill, and then to heaven-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    Every detail along the way, Ye Yuan re-experienced it anew.


    After each time Ye Yuan refined pills, he would summarize it meticulously. Hence, towards each process, he would remember it vividly.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have returned to that ignorant and dull novice, re-experiencing the process of refining the Divine Essence Pill anew.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan entered a wondrous state.


    At this moment, those five spirit medicines'' medicinal properties were seemingly shattered into countless fragments by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was situated in this vast ocean of fragments, undergoing the experiences anew.


    After that, Ye Yuan carried out a reorganization of these fragments!


    Ye Yuan was already familiar with the five spirit medicines'' medicinal properties until he could not be any more familiar.


    At this moment, those fragments continuously constructed new models in his mind.


    Constructing, overturning, constructing again, overturning again!


    Time passed day by day. In a twinkle, a month''s time passed again.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of understanding flashed across his eyes.


    Dustless''s gaze turned intent, and he said in amazement, "You �� comprehended everything?"


    Ye Yuan nodded with a slight smile and said, "Should be!"


    Dustless was stunned and blurted out, "This �� How is this possible? A month''s time and you comprehended it?"


    Dustless was all too clear how difficult divine-grade Divine Essence Pill was to comprehend!


    Even though the Divine Essence Pill was just the most basic divine pill, the refining difficulty was who knows how many times greater than the Dao Defying Pill.


    Without the accumulation of time, wanting to thoroughly comprehend the Divine Essence Pill was impossible!


    However, from Ye Yuan coming into contact with the Divine Essence Pill, merely less than three month''s time had passed.


    This kind of improvement speed was too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan just smiled and started to set up the Lesser Divine Essence Formation.


    Taking action this time was totally different from any situation in the past.


    A measly eight pieces of divine essence stones seemingly transformed into tens of millions of Great Dao in Ye Yuan''s hands, looking exceedingly profound.


    Dustless''s eyes stared until it went wide. He was finally certain that Ye Yuan was not bragging!


    He really �� comprehended it!


    This kind of comprehension was different from other alchemists hitting the jackpot and refining divine-grade divine pills, but Ye Yuan really understood the Dao of the Divine Essence Pill.


    In the future, when Ye Yuan refined the Divine Essence Pill, the chances of reaching divine-grade was absolutely above 1%!


    One should not underestimate this one percent. For ordinary alchemist, even an exceptionally powerful One-star Alchemy God, the chances of refining divine-grade Divine Essence Pills would not surpass 1% either. It could virtually be overlooked!


    Furthermore, following Ye Yuan''s understanding of Alchemy Dao becoming deeper and deeper, this chance would even become higher and higher.


    The light faded away. A translucent Divine Essence Pill appeared before Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    A divine-grade Divine Essence Pill!


    "You �� You really comprehended it! Freak! Truly too monstrous! Seven months! You only used seven months'' time and comprehended the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill!" Dustless said, rather agitatedly.


    Only at this time did he discover that he really underestimated Ye Yuan.


    This guy was simply born for the sake of medicinal pills!


    Solid foundation skills, heaven-defying comprehension abilities, terrifying talent, let him create a miracle!


    Counting in the one month from before, Ye Yuan spent a total of one year and seven months in the World Suppressing Stele.


    He used such a short time and refined the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    This was simply inconceivable!


    One had to know that when Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove achieved this step back then, he also used a hundred year''s time!


    The time that Ye Yuan spent was only 1% of what Immortal Grove spent!


    However, Ye Yuan did not have an overly surprised expression.


    Seven months had already gone by. He was only left with five months'' time!


    Ye Yuan spent one year and seven months to comprehend the Divine Essence Pill. Then what about the Detoxification Pill, which was even harder than it?


    No time to waste anymore!


    "Senior, please teach me the refining method of the One-star Detoxification Pill." Ye Yuan said.


    Dustless nodded. He also knew that time was pressing. Hence, he collected his mind very quickly and started narrating to Ye Yuan the medicinal properties of the spirit medicines.


    The Detoxification Pill''s divine rank spirit medicines had a total of seven kinds. This account of Dustless was ten days and ten nights!


    The complexity of the seven kinds of spirit medicines far exceeded Ye Yuan''s imaginations.


    Ye Yuan finally knew why the Divine Essence Pill was the most basic divine pill.


    However, Ye Yuan refining the Divine Essence Pill already laid down a solid foundation. He was no longer an ignorant person.


    But the speed of Ye Yuan comprehending the Detoxification Pill was goodness knows how many times faster than the Divine Essence Pill.


    When Dustless saw Ye Yuan''s comprehension speed, he could not help being dumbfounded.


    He followed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and commanded the wind and clouds in the Heavenspan World for aeons. The geniuses that he had seen were numerous like schools of carps crossing the river.


    But he had never seen before someone''s comprehension ability capable of reaching Ye Yuan''s level.


    Ye Yuan''s alchemy talent could be described using frightening!


    "Drawing parallels from inference! This kid''s comprehension strength is simply inconceivable. Other people would spend even more time learning other medicinal pills after the Divine Essence Pill. But this boy actually became faster and faster! The Divine Essence Pill opened up the gates of divine pills for him. Now, he has already stepped onto a broad path, his future limitless! Given time, this boy''s accomplishments in alchemy might not be incapable of surpassing Immortal Grove!" Dustless sighed emotionally.

 1311 Divine-Grade Detoxification Pill!

    Feng Ping and Manager Su slowly walked into the box room. Hong Yin was currently taking care of Liang Wanru.


    "How is Miss Wanru?" Manager Su asked Hong Yin.


    Hong Yin shook her head, her expression somewhat ugly as she said, "She already can''t swallow food. Probably can''t hang on much longer anymore."


    Manager Su sighed and said, "In the end, it still can''t make it! This girl �� What a shame!"


    Feng Ping said, "How can divine-grade Detoxification Pill be so easy to refine? This old man already has half a foot stepped into the realm of Two Star Alchemy God and can''t refine it too. It''s not that this old man is looking down on Ye Yuan, but it''s impossible for him to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill."


    Manager Su did not refute this. He said with a nod, "Ye Yuan is also arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, that''s why he would state such proud words at the Wang Family. Wang Lingbo made use of Ye Yuan''s proud words to expose the Myriad Treasure Tower''s misdeeds. This period of time, we are in a very passive position too!"


    Ye Yuan let out grand words before coming out of the Wang Family''s residence. Not only was he going to resolve the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison, but he was even going to let Liang Wanru step into Divine Dao Realm and treat her so that she could speak.


    These words were spread by the Wang Family and already caused a buzz in Jewelhill City.


    The Poisonfeather Thousand Night was the Wang Family''s non-transmissible secret. People''s faces changed when talking about it.


    Now, the Myriad Treasure Tower actually provoked the Wang Family like this. With this, there was really a good show to watch.


    If when the time came, and the Myriad Treasure Tower could not cure Liang Wanru''s poison, this face would be slapped resoundingly. There would also be a tremendous impact on the Myriad Treasure Tower''s reputation.


    Mentioning this, Feng Ping''s brows also knitted together tightly, and he said unhappily, "This child''s alchemy talent is indeed not bad. But he''s truly a bit too arrogant! Throwing down such drivel, disregarding that he lost face himself, it even made the entire Myriad Treasure Tower lose face along with him!"


    Manager Su still protected Ye Yuan and said smilingly, "Well, young people got to be a little young and frivolous. That Wang Lingbo also indeed bullied people a bit too much. To actually have his niece humiliate Ye Yuan like so. Ye Yuan retaliating was also being infuriated by him."


    "Heh! He spoke lightly, but putting out a boast got to have the capital too! Right now, it''s not him slapping other people''s faces, but having his face slapped by others. He even implicated the entire Myriad Treasure Tower!" Feng Ping said unhappily.


    The two people were currently chatting when a white silhouette swept in like a gust of wind.


    "Hong Yin, how is Miss Wanru?" Ye Yuan asked rather worriedly.


    Hong Yin shook her head and said, "Very bad! Miss Wanru has already reached the brink of death. Sir Ye �� please hold back your grief."


    Same as Su and Feng, Hong Yin likewise did not think that Ye Yuan could refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern, and he hurriedly helped Liang Wanru up and discovered that her lips turned blackish-purple. Her complexion was white as paper; she was already completely unconscious.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he hurriedly fished out a medicinal pill, sending it into Liang Wanru''s mouth.


    An alluring medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire box room!


    Manager Su, Feng Ping, their gazes turned intent, staring fixedly at the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Even though it was just a very short time, they both saw it clearly!


    The medicinal pill that Ye Yuan fed Liang Wanru was absolutely a one-star divine-grade Detoxification Pill!


    But Ye Yuan had no time to care about the two people''s astonishment and said to Hong Yi, "Hong Yin, I''ll have to trouble you to use divine essence to help her refine the medicinal strength."


    Hong Yin was not as surprised as Su and Feng, because she had never seen before a divine-grade medicinal pill.


    This level of medicinal pill, no matter which faction, they all cherished it dearly, and absolutely would not show it to outsiders.


    "Oh, okay!"


    Hong Yin voiced her assent and started using divine essence to help Liang Wanru refine the medicinal strength.


    Manager Su and Feng Ping, the two people, they exchanged a glance, both seeing the look of astonishment from the other party''s eyes.


    "Ye Yuan, that �� that was �� a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?" Manager Su asked probingly.


    Seeing Liang Wanru''s complexion take a turn for the better, Ye Yuan finally heaved a sigh of relief, his face revealing a slight smile akin to being relieved of a heavy burden, and opened his mouth to say, "Yeah! Luckily, I made it in time! Otherwise, this Ye would really have to harbor regret for all my life."


    "This �� How is this possible? D-Divine-grade Detoxification Pill!" Feng Ping felt like his tongue almost could not be straighten up anymore.


    The Detoxification Pill was just a very ordinary one-star divine pill. The difficulty was a little higher than the Divine Essence Pill.


    But wanting to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill, that was not what the average person could accomplish.


    With Feng Ping''s realm, even if his luck was booming, he had never refined before a divine-grade Detoxification Pill either.


    In the entire Jewelhill City, no one had this strength!


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Yeah! It''s really as hard as ascending to heaven for a pill to enter divine-grade! These few days, this Ye neglected sleep and meals, and by coincidence, I finally refined this Detoxification Pill!"


    Manager Su and Feng Ping drew a cold breath. Although Ye Yuan seemed to have said it lightly, but that was divine-grade!


    When Ye Yuan entered closed-seclusion, he could clearly only refine superior-grade Divine Essence Pill.


    Only over 30 days had gone by, and he actually refined a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?


    Unless �� Ye Yuan concealed his strength!


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with the two people''s astonishment. His attention was all on Liang Wanru.


    "Ugh ��"


    Liang Wanru emitted a voice as faint as a mosquito. This made Ye Yuan greatly roused.


    The divine-grade Detoxification Pill really worked!


    Very soon, Liang Wanru''s lip''s purple-black color gradually faded away. Her face also gradually became rosier.


    Hong Yin already finished refining the medicinal strength. Seeing this scene, she could not help being greatly astonished and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as she said, "Sir Ye, you �� you really did it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and nodded his head.


    To be honest, Ye Yuan also felt very accomplished right now.


    Previously, he completely purged some distracting thoughts and totally never thought about these issues.


    But now, seeing Liang Wanru take a turn for the better, these thoughts emerged uncontrollably.


    Divine pills to him was a completely new territory!


    However, he relied on his talent and hard work to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill. This was absolutely something to be proud of.


    Because Ye Yuan knew how difficult it was to refine a divine-grade Detoxification Pill!


    Finally, Liang Wanru slowly woke up, a pair of beautiful eyes gradually becoming limpid.


    But when she saw Ye Yuan, the gratitude in her gaze could not be concealed no matter what, wanting to struggle to stand up.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly held her down and said, "Don''t think about anything. You''re still very weak right now. Wait for the toxins in your body to be completely purged before talking. Miss Wanru, when I was at the Wang Family, I told Wang Lingbo before that not only was I going to treat your poison, I''m even going to have you open your mouth and talk, stepping into the Divine Dao Realm! Let those people who bullied you see that you can live even better than them!"


    Liang Wanru could not speak, but hearing Ye Yuan''s words, she also felt her heart surged.


    Stepping into the Divine Dao Realm, she did not care.


    But being able to open her mouth and talk, was the one thing that she most desired in the depths of her heart!


    Feng Ping and Manager Su also trembled all over. Only then they recalled those ''proud words'' Ye Yuan left behind at the Wang Family.


    Just earlier, they still felt that Ye Yuan was too arrogant, and even dragged down the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    But now, they finally knew that Ye Yuan''s words were not empty talk!


    His alchemy talent was too terrifying. Probably no one could have expected that Ye Yuan really had this strength to smack the Wang Family''s face resoundingly!


    Manager Su and Feng Ping, these two people exchanged a glance, their faces both revealing a smile.


    With this, Wang Lingbo really shot himself in the foot!

 1312 The Wealth Left Behind by Ye Yuan

    "What did you say? He �� He really refined a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?"


    Hearing Manager Su''s report, Yang Rui''s shock was by no means insignificant. This could be seen from his voice that had a slight change in pitch.


    Manager Su clearly still had not recovered from the shock. The expression on his face was rather unnatural.


    "Absolutely true! When he gave Miss Wanru the Detoxification Pill, Feng Ping and I were both present. We are absolutely not wrong! Furthermore, the toxin in Miss Wanru''s body is already gradually being detoxified!"


    Yang Yu also did not come back to his senses from this news after a long time.


    This news was seriously too explosive!


    When he decided to protect Ye Yuan, he absolutely did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually bring him such an astounding surprise.


    He just felt that Ye Yuan was a fine sapling and was worthy of nurturing.


    However, Ye Yuan''s improvement was seriously beyond his expectations.


    "One more thing! Ye Yuan had us go and clean up his practice room, but after we sent people to go and clean up, we discovered that the whole place was filled with Divine Essence Pills and Detoxification Pills. Among them, the number of heaven-grades was the most. Each type had no less than several hundred pieces!" Manager Su''s words were bent on shocking people to death as he continued.


    Yang Rui''s eyes stared like wide-saucers as he looked at Manager Su and asked, "What did you say? Heaven-grade is the most? Then that''s also to say that before this, he did not know how to refine the Detoxification Pill at all? He used one month plus time to go from a rookie to become a master?"


    Manager Su slowly nodded and said, "It should be so!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Yang Yui drew a cold breath. The imposing manner of giving directions over the dynasty and having everything in control completely dissipated without a trace at this time.


    The current him was just like a startled little rabbit.


    The expression on his face was fascinating to the extreme.


    After a long time, Yang Rui was suddenly startled and said to Manager Su, "Where''s Ye Yuan? Bring him to come to see me! No, I''ll go see him!"


    Yang Rui was just about to move, but was stopped by Manager Su who said, "Tower Lord, you don''t need to go anymore, Ye Yuan already went into closed-seclusion!"


    Yang Rui froze and said, "Closed-seclusion? Didn''t he already refine the divine-grade Detoxification Pill? Still enter what seclusion?"


    Manager Su shook his head and said, "He handed Miss Wanru to Hong Yin, then went to the warehouse and withdrew a large bunch of spirit medicines, and directly entered closed-seclusion."


    Yang Rui frowned and said, "What kind of spirit medicines did he take out?"


    Manager Su said, "The spirit medicines taken out this time are even more than the last time. Just the variety is as many as several dozen kinds. As for the specifics of what he''s going to go, it''s really hard to judge."


    Yang Rui fell silent. Suddenly, his gaze looked towards Manager Su scorchingly and said, "I say, could he be �� refining the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill?"


    Manager Su''s pupils constricted, his gaze revealing a look of horror as he blurted out, "No way, right? One-star Heavenly Mark Pill, even among Two-star Alchemy Gods, there aren''t many capable of refining it too! But �� with you saying so, there''s really a possibility! His divine sea is damaged, only the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill can repair the divine sea!"


    Yang Rui suddenly felt that taking in Ye Yuan was really an extremely wise move.


    Now, even he was somewhat in awe of himself.


    If Ye Yuan was really able to refine the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill, the significance to the Myriad Treasure Tower was too great!


    Even though the Myriad Treasure Tower was renowned throughout the entire Heavenspan World, due to the Jewelhill City not being Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s domain, the Myriad Treasure Tower was not as glorious as on the surface.


    Since it was setting up a Myriad Treasure Tower in another heavenly emperor''s territory, then they naturally had to bear a corresponding portion of the tax.


    As the saying went: a mighty dragon could not suppress the local snake. The local forces would intentionally or unintentionally suppress the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Just take Jewelhill City for instance. Those able to contend with the Myriad Treasure Tower were the Wang Family, Lin Family, as well as the Lu Family.


    As for the Liang Family, this kind of small faction, there were no fewer than over a dozen in abundance.


    These small forces mostly clung onto these three families. But the Myriad Treasure Tower had no one to throw their lot with.


    Therefore, the Myriad Treasure Tower completely relied on this golden signboard to be able to stand tall in Jewelhill City.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower was a colossal business empire. But when it came to Jewelhill City, it was just an insignificant branch. The upper echelons would not attach importance at all.


    For Yang Rui to be able to maintain the Myriad Treasure Tower, he had also exhausted his efforts.


    If not for so, he might really not care about a measly little Ye Yuan.


    After all, he was too desperate for talents.


    Feng Ping''s strength was not bad, but it did not rise above the masses in Jewelhill City.


    Even the three great major families'' chief alchemists'' strengths were a level above Feng Ping''s.


    Ye Yuan''s Formation Dao Pill Refinement brought dawn to Yang Rui. Hence, that was why he would have Luo Jian take action, and even not scruple in offending the Wang Family.


    "Ignore that first! What he needs, provide it for him. Don''t flinch at wasting spirit medicines and divine essence stones too!" Yang Rui said.


    Manager Su smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, "Tower Lord, providing spirit medicines and divine essence stones for Ye Yuan, it''s actually us profiting! This boy''s efficiency is too high, simply inconceivable!"


    Yang Rui froze and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Messing around for so long, it was us who owe him?"


    Manager Su nodded and said, "Just that large bath of heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills are already a hundred times profit, worth 100 thousand low-grade divine essence stones! That boy is generous too, not taking a single cent, returning all of it to us. And what we provided was merely the capital of a single medicinal pill''s 10 low-grade divine essence stones. Also, the superior-grade and heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills that he refined, the quality are all very good!"


    Yang Rui''s entire body trembled, and he said in surprise, "Such a large profit?"


    Manager Su smiled and said, "Heh, these are just heaven-grade Divine Essence Pills. We ticked off the stock inside his practice room, just the heaven-grade Detoxification Pill and Divine Essence Pills added up to around 500. Superior-grade and high-grade medicinal pills even have a thousand! How much profit do you think these added up will be?"


    Yang Rui drew a cold breath. His emotions that had just calmed down became restless once again.


    What Manager Su said before, he did not care. His focus was all on Ye Yuan refining the divine-grade Detoxification Pill.


    Only now did he know that Ye Yuan, this fellow, was simply a pill refining machine. This efficiency was simply too terrifying!


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan helping the Myriad Treasure Tower refine so many medicinal pills, he should draw a percentage.


    But, he did not want a single one, giving it all to the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    This way, the Myriad Treasure Tower made a huge killing!


    He thought that by providing Ye Yuan so many spirit medicines, Ye Yuan would owe their Myriad Treasure Tower a lot, and naturally could not leave the Myriad Treasure Tower either.


    But now, it was the Myriad Treasure Tower who owed Ye Yuan too much instead.


    This result was what he did not expect from start to end.


    "This guy is simply a freak!"


    Yang Rui was stifled for a long time and squeezed out this one sentence.


    His plans previously were totally useless now.


    Manager Su deeply felt that way too, as he said with a nod, "That''s right, this old man thinks so as well!"


    Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "Alright then, then don''t need to bother him about this matter anymore. If he can really refine the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill, then it will be when our Myriad Treasure Tower truly rises up! Now, completely seal off the news of the Liang Family''s girl recovering for me. Don''t leak any bit of news. Otherwise, I''ll hold you solely responsible!"

 1313 Act out the Full Play When Putting on a Show

    Manager Su was still very capable and experienced when handling matters. He really sealed this news completely shut and did not reveal a hint of breeze.


    Wang Lingbo naturally knew his own Poisonfeather Thousand Night very clearly.


    Counting the medicinal efficacy of a heaven-grade Detoxification Pill, Liang Wanru''s limit was also just 40 days.


    So, early this morning, he sent his sister, Wang Pianran, over.


    Wang Pianran brought along a large group of people, surrounding the Myriad Treasure Tower until not even water could flow through.


    What made people''s jaws drop was that Wang Pianran actually wore a white-colored mourning dress, the tears on her face not yet dry.


    The surrounding people had quite a number of busybodies as well as the three great families'' eyes and ears.


    Myriad Treasure Tower and the Wang Family''s conflict had quite a number of people all watching the joke.


    Of course, it was watching the Myriad Treasure Tower''s joke.


    What the Wang Family was most proficient at was using poison. And the Poisonfeather Thousand Night was even the Wang Family''s masterpiece, killing people imperceptibly.


    Everyone all knew that in this Jewelhill City, no one could resolve the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison!


    It was precisely because so that everyone''s countenance all changed when talking about it.


    Even the Lin Family and Lu Family were very wary of the Wang Family too.


    After all, open spears were easy to dodge, but hidden arrows were hard to defend against.


    "Su Linpu, quickly hand over the person for me! My family''s Wanru is the Liang Family''s member in life and the Liang Family''s ghost in death! Quickly hand over the person!"


    "Oh, right, didn''t your Myriad Treasure Tower''s new guest alchemist say that he can cure the Poisonfeather Thousand Night poison in my family''s Wanru? You all call her out for me to take a look!"


    "Sniff, sniff �� My Wanru! You died so unjustly!"


    ...


    Wang Pianran swayed her body of excessive flesh, shouting at the top of her voice, and actually wailed bitterly in front of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s front door.


    She kept going "my family''s Wanru," calling dearly.


    This acting really caught everyone by surprise.


    Wasn''t this Wang Pianran a wicked woman, putting her hands on her own stepdaughter?


    What was going on with this play today?


    Wang Pianran cried very sadly as if her biological daughter had died.


    Previously, the Wang Family already put in sufficient work to stir this matter up until it bubbled with noise.


    Wang Lingbo''s objective was very clear. Since somebody dared to challenge the Wang Family''s most formidable Poisonfeather Thousand Night, then the Wang Family would take this chance to smack him to death!


    At the very least, he had to smack that hateful brat to death and destroy his reputation!


    As long as Ye Yuan''s reputation was ruined, that would be a hot potato. The Myriad Treasure Tower absolutely would not dare to keep him anymore.


    As long as he did not have the Myriad Treasure Tower''s protection, however the Wang Family wanted to knead Ye Yuan, that was at their free rein.


    He failed to humiliate Ye Yuan that day and was instead humiliated badly by Ye Yuan. This made Wang Lingbo unable to stomach this grievance no matter what.


    Not screwing Ye Yuan to death, he would not give up.


    A cripple also dared to contend with him, this Jewelhill''s overlord? He really did not know how the word death was written!


    "That fat sow is really disgusting! That body full of fats is almost crushing the ground!"


    "Isn''t that so? It''s fine if she''s ugly, her heart is even incomparably vicious, to actually give her own stepdaughter the Poisonfeather Thousand Night!"


    "Yeah, but what''s playing out here today? Could it be that the rumors previously weren''t real?"


    "However, does the Myriad Treasure Tower really have the ability to cure the Poisonfeather Thousand Night? Once this boast is thrown out, if they can''t do it, it wouldn''t be easy to clean up the mess!"


    "Heh, the Poisonfeather Thousand Night can be said to be Jewelhill City''s number one poison. Unless it''s a divine-grade Detoxification Pill, otherwise, it''s incurable! That newly recruited guest alchemist of the Myriad Treasure Tower poked a big hole in the basket this time! His days are probably very tough, right?"


    "Isn''t that so! I heard that this guest alchemist is a cripple. To actually dare let out grand words, saying that he wanted to resolve the Poisonfeather Thousand Night. Isn''t this reaching his face out to let people hit?"


    ...


    Through the Wang Family''s schemes, the matter of the Myriad Treasure Tower challenging the Poisonfeather Thousand Night already became a hot topic.


    Not only was no one optimistic about the Myriad Treasure Tower, there were even quite a number of people who were very contemptuous of Ye Yuan, feeling that Ye Yuan was purely a troublemaker, causing such a big problem for the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    If this matter was not handled well, the impact on the Myriad Treasure Tower would be too great.


    At this time, Manager Su finally came out after being called repeatedly.


    Seeing Wang Pianran''s head held high acting, he was unbelievably pleased in his heart.


    "Heh, even we didn''t expect that Ye Yuan was actually able to refine the divine-grade Detoxification Pill. Wang Lingbo, you probably didn''t expect it even if your dreams, right? If they didn''t spread this matter, we would have dropped it. Now, everybody knows about it, that''s digging a pit for yourself to jump! The expression on this dumb woman''s face in a while will definitely be very wonderful!" Manager Su sneered coldly his heart.


    Being secretly pleased was secretly pleased, but Manager Su was also an extremely shrewd person, how could he show it?


    Yang Rui making him seal off the news was in order to maximize the interests of the Myriad Treasure Tower and ruthlessly smack the Wang Family''s face. He pushed Ye Yuan this alchemy master out along with it!


    That way, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s situation in Jewelhill City would be greatly improved.


    As for Wang Pianran, this fat sow''s farce, Manager Su just sneered coldly in his heart.


    "This is the Myriad Treasure Tower''s territory. It''s not allowed for you, a woman, to behave atrociously! If you''re sensible, hurry up and leave! Otherwise, don''t blame our Myriad Treasure Tower for not being courteous!" Manager Su said solemnly.


    Seeing Manager Su''s appearance, Wang Pianran was even more smug in her heart, and said with a sneer, "Su Linpu, so many pairs of eyes are watching! I don''t believe that you all, such a massive Myriad Treasure Tower, dare to bully me, a woman!"


    Manager Su''s brows furrowed, and he said solemnly, "Wang Pianran, what the hell do you want? Aren''t you scared of throwing away your husband family''s face like this?"


    Wang Pianran smiled coldly and said, "Heh, your guest alchemist brought along Luo Jian and forcefully barged into the Liang Family, abducting our family''s Liang Wanru, and seriously wounding my husband and second uncle. It''s already bullying people too far! My family''s pitiable Wanru, you died so unjustly!"


    Manager Su said unhappily, "Frivolous quibbling! Miss Wanru is Ye Yuan''s savior, him breaking into your Liang Family to save people is an unquestionable moral truth! Whence the talk of abducting? Rather, you all actually inflicted the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison onto your own stepdaughter, truly venomous as a viper!"


    Wang Pianran''s eyes swiveled around, secretly pleased in her heart. This old punk finally fell into the trap!


    "Su Linpu, you don''t throw slanderous charges! Wanru normally hates me the most. She hates that I snatched her mother''s position, so she opposes me at home. My temper isn''t good, so I quarrel very badly with her, that''s true! But, poisoning her this time is just lightly punishing her, so that she''ll be aware of the overwhelming odds against her! I have the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s antidote in my hands, how can I possibly watch her die unfeelingly? No matter how she is, she''s my husband''s daughter at any rate. Rather, that boy lusted after her beauty and abducted her away, and even ran in front of my brother to let out grand words without feeling shame, saying what, he could cure the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison! But now, it harmed her life! Sniff, sniff �� that pitiful daughter of mine, you died so tragically! That boy is the true culprit who caused your death!"


    One had to admit that this fatty''s acting skills were really on point. The tears fell on command, crying very miserably.


    This wail really deceived quite a number of people.


    Her venomous woman image faded away considerably all at once.


    Because she confounded black and white, now, quite a few people were glaring at Manager Su.


    Ye Yuan was the real culprit, then the Myriad Treasure Tower was naturally the accomplice.


    Wang Pianran said it reasonably and logically, and also did not conceal her shrew side, making the surrounding audience unable to hate her instead.

 1314 A Clean Break

    "Turns out the truth is like this! Even though this fat woman is hateful, that Ye Yuan is even more abominable!"


    "Think about it, that''s true too! I heard that even though this fat sow is domineering, she is still very affectionate towards Liang Mingyu."


    "Stepmother and stepdaughters don''t get along well; every family is like this. If that''s really the case, it makes sense too!"


    "This way, Liang Wanru was wronged? Pity about this girl!''


    "Didn''t that new guest alchemist have the ability to cure the poison?"


    "Cure my ass! The Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison, the Lin Family and the Lu Family have researched for God knows how long and were unable to crack it. A cripple can cure the poison? Do you believe it?"


    ...


    Wang Pianran''s act was clearly prepared for a very long time already. Playing it out at this time, the effects were not bad.


    She did not hide her ''wicked mother'' nature, attributing the source of the conflict to the conflict between a stepmother and stepdaughter. The credibility was very high.


    Adding on that, even though her reputation spread far and wide these few years, she had indeed contributed considerably for the Liang Family.


    Therefore, this excuse was very believable.


    With her wisdom, she clearly could not come up with such a flawless excuse.


    These were all planned by Wang Lingbo at the back.


    Seeing everyone''s reaction, Wang Pianran was very pleased with herself inwardly, prostrating in admiration towards her elder brother.


    This way, the Myriad Treasure Tower and Ye Yuan became murderers!


    While they became the targets of sympathy instead.


    She did not believe that Ye Yuan could still stay on in the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    Facing everyone''s criticism, Su Linpu''s expression became incomparably ugly, but he was already long tickled with joy in his heart.


    "Keep on acting! The more ruthless you do it, the more refreshing it will be in a while!"


    He suddenly gave a cold snort and said, "Wang Pianran, don''t feign innocence! Actually, Miss Wanru has already woken up! But she''s already utterly disappointed with your Liang Family and will never return to the Liang Family from here on! You guys go back! If we really get into a tussle, it won''t be good for anyone!"


    The more Su Linpu said so, the more Wang Pianran naturally felt it was to cover things up.


    Actually, not just her, the rest similarly had this feeling.


    It could not be blamed on them either. It was true that the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s prowess entered too deep into the people''s hearts.


    They totally did not believe that the Myriad Treasure Tower had the ability to cure this poison.


    "Su Linpo, don''t give this old lady that! Today, I want to see the person if alive, see the corpse in death! Wanru is my Liang Family''s daughter, what''s the deal with being at your Myriad Treasure Tower? What does everybody say?" Wang Pianran asked everyone.


    "Yeah! Putting aside that your Myriad Treasure Tower is an accomplice to the murder, you even want to detain people''s corpse! Simply shameless!"


    "Already at this time, does your Myriad Treasure Tower still want to puff oneself up at your own cost?"


    "Hand over the person! Hand over the person!"


    ...


    For a moment, the public sentiment actually roused up.


    Inside a teahouse''s reserved room opposite the Myriad Treasure Tower, two middle-aged man were currently sipping tea.


    "Lu Jinghao, I knew that you definitely won''t miss this great show today! This tea �� is pretty good!" one of the men opened his mouth and said.


    Lu Jinghao smiled and said, "Wang Lingbo this person, you and I both know. Forbears when not making a move. The moment he makes his move, it must see blood!"


    These two people were none other than precisely the other two great families'' family heads, the Lu Family''s Lu Jinghao and the Lin Family''s Lin Zaitian!


    "Wang Lingbo really had a fine ploy! This time, the Myriad Treasure Tower has thoroughly tumbled!" Lin Zaitian said.


    "Yang Rui''s ploys all don''t have any cause for much criticism. But this time, he still made an error of judgment in the end. I was rather perplexed why he would back a cripple up," Lu Jinghao said.


    "No way of knowing this! But this time, the Myriad Treasure Tower will definitely suffer a great loss in vitality," Lin Zaitian said.


    "Heh, once the Myriad Treasure Tower falls, you and I will have to be more careful. Wang Lingbo that guy, his ambitions aren''t small!" Lu Jinghao said.


    Lin Zaitian nodded, deeply feeling that way too.


    ...


    While at this time, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Su Linpu''s face.


    He suddenly let out a long sigh and said in a clear voice, "Miss Wanru''s remnant poison isn''t cleared and originally needs to recuperate. Who asked you all to bully people too far, I can only invite her out! Come, men, invite Miss Wanru out!"


    Su Linpu''s words made the seething crowd instantly quieten down.


    They were all very doubtful about the authenticity of Su Linpu''s words.


    "Su Linpu, don''t talk rubbish here! Delaying the time is useless!" Wang Pianran shouted at the top of her voice.


    She did not believe even if she was beaten to death, that the Myriad Treasure Tower could really revive Liang Wanru.


    Su Linpu gave a cold laugh and said, "Heh, wouldn''t you know if it''s real or fake once the person arrives? What''s the hurry?"


    Before long, two beautiful figures slowly walked out from inside the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Hong Yin supported Liang Wanru. Her current situation was really bad, and not Su Linpu talking nonsense.


    When Wang Pianran''s gaze landed on that hateful to the extreme figure, her entire person was instantly petrified.


    She rubbed her two eyes, wondering if she saw wrongly or not!


    But focusing her eyes and looking, who could it be if not Liang Wanru?


    "I-It''s really Liang Wanru! She �� She actually didn''t die!"


    "My eyesight isn''t failing, right? The Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison was really cured?"


    "My God! How in the world did the Myriad Treasure Tower do it? With this, there''s really a fine show to watch!"


    ...


    Liang Wanru''s appearance aroused the crowd''s violent commotion.


    When everyone all thought that she was already dead, she actually stood in front of everyone while still alive!


    The Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison was really resolved!


    The Wang Family had tremendous deterrence by relying on this poison.


    But now, it was actually resolved!


    Of course, the one with the most fascinating expression still had to belong to Wang Pianran.


    The flesh on her face was plenty, her mouth not large, but currently, her mouth was opened even larger than a fist.


    "I-Impossible! This �� How is this possible? The poison that I personally administered, how can she possibly still be alive? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wang Pianran muttered under her breath.


    Seeing her appearance, Su Linpu said with a mocking smile, "You seem to be very disappointed that Miss Wanru is alive! Didn''t you say just now that you didn''t hope for her to die?"


    Wang Pianran froze and said stammeringly, "I �� I �� I ��"


    For a long time, Wang Pianran did not know how to follow up with this sentence either.


    Liang Wanru stood still. The gaze that looked at Wang Pianran was filled with indifference.


    Toward the Liang Family, she was really utterly disappointed already.


    She gestured to Hong Yin a few times. Hong Yin understood and said to a servant, "Serve pen and ink!"


    Very soon, the servants fetched pen and ink, and placed in front of Liang Wanru.


    Liang Wanru took up the paper and pen rather strenuously and wrote: The venomous woman harmed Ru greatly, and often beat and scolded. This time, because Ru sponsored Ye Yuan divine essence stones, in her fury, she threw Ru into the dungeons and administered poison in the food, plotting to kill Ru. She, as a stepmother, this action was understandable. But Father was greedy and actually left Ru alone to her devices. Ru''s heart is already dead, this life already returned to Father, the remaining life bestowed by Ye Yuan, This day forth, Ru makes a clean break from the Liang Family, and no longer has any connection!"


    Writing finish, Liang Wanru put down the pen, her eyes already filled with tears.

 1315 A Rat Crossing the Stree

    Su Linpu let out a long sigh and said, "Sigh, poor girl. Hong Yin, bring Miss Wanru back and let her rest well!"


    For Liang Wanru''s disposition, being able to force her to this step was truly not easy.


    Even back then, when Liang Wanrong did that sort of dirty thing, she chose to forgive too.


    But Liang Mingyu''s indifference this time truly made Liang Wanru lose all hope.


    She finally discovered that this Liang Family seemed to already completely did not have room for her to survival anymore.


    Looking at Liang Wanru''s frail appearance, the pity in everyone''s hearts arose spontaneously.


    Her experiences these few years, quite a number of people all heard of it.


    Wang Pianran suddenly felt that there were a series of unfriendly gazes coming from all around, the scenery suddenly changing.


    That was the furious gaze after being deceived and made use of!


    Originally, this version of things was seamless. But the prerequisite was that Liang Wanru was already dead.


    Now, the main person herself came forward to clarify and even wanted to make a clean break from the Liang Family.


    How the truth was already did not need to go into detail.


    "You �� What do you all want to do? My �� My brother is Wang Lingbo!" Wang Pianran shouted at the top of her voice.


    "Pooh! Is the Wang Family impressive?"


    A thick phlegm passed through the crowd and spat onto Wang Pianran''s face accurately.


    Immediately, a stinky smell burrowed into her nostrils, making her choke from disgust.


    But before waiting for her to react yet, one mouthful after another of thick phlegm spat over towards her akin to raindrops.


    "Spit! Scram!"


    "Spit! Quickly get lost!"


    "Spit! Don''t make a spectacle of yourself here anymore! Get lost!"


    ...


    Cursing sounded out, spit splattering everywhere. Wang Pianran was instantly drowned out by this raindrop like thick phlegms, waves of stench emanating off her body.


    That appearance was disgusting to the extreme.


    When those people who were fooled came to realize the truth, that wrath was very terrifying.


    These people were all expected. Spitting was naturally bullseye every time. Wang Pianran had no place to dodge even if she wanted to.


    "Ah, ah, ah!! Disgusting to death! You �� You all are dead for sure! I''ll have my brother kill all of you pariahs! Every one of you! Ahh, hack ��"


    Wang Pianran was currently shouting herself hoarse threatening others when a thick phlegm directly flew into her mouth.


    She could not take it anymore and started vomiting loudly.


    "Hahaha ��" Everyone laughed loudly.


    Wang Pianran''s threat had no effect at all. As the saying went, the law did not blame the masses. Even though the Wang Family was powerful, they did not dare to kill so many people either.


    Wang Pianran at this time was akin to a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting to beat it.


    Even though the onlookers did not dare to kill her, currently like this, it was already enough for her to suffer.


    In fact, it was even more liberating than killing her.


    Such a venomous woman should be humiliated like this!


    Wang Pianran puked as she was escorted by a group of underlings away from the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Su Linpu had flowers bloom with joy in his heart long ago. Only seeing Wang Pianran leave, did he say in the clear voice, "Now, everyone knows that my Myriad Treasure Tower isn''t joking around with everybody, right? In the future, if someone is poisoned, you can come to the Myriad Treasure Tower. Everybody, rest assured. I guarantee that the medicines work like a charm!"


    Su Linpu''s words were a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.


    What he said was not Poisonfeather Thousand Night, but that as long as someone was poisoned, they could come to find the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    These words were said rather conceitedly!


    "Manager Su, you''re saying that �� no matter what poison, you all can resolve it?" Someone asked with skepticism.


    Su Linpu smiled and said, "Of course not! How many poisons are there in this world? How can it be all cured? But in this Jewelhill City, if even our Myriad Treasure Tower can''t cure it, then nobody can cure it!"


    These words were said domineeringly!


    But the Myriad Treasure Tower after having Ye Yuan was this domineering!


    If without Ye Yuan''s inciting things, Su Linpu naturally did not dare to say this kind of big talk.


    Even the Poisonfeather Thousand Night was cured, what poison was there that the divine-grade Detoxification Pill could not treat?


    Everyone clearly all realized this point. The Myriad Treasure Tower resolved Jewelhill City''s number one poison, they naturally had the confidence to say this kind of words.


    "Manager Su, could it be that that new guest alchemist of yours refined a divine-grade Detoxification Pill?" Someone asked again.


    Su Linpu said with a smile, "Speaking of this guest alchemist of ours, Ye Yuan, he''s incredible! Presumably, everyone knows that because his divine sea is damaged, he''s unable to condense divine essence. Hence, his medicinal pills were all refined and formed with Formation Dao!"


    "What?! Formation Dao Pill Refinement! It''s actually Formation Dao Pill Refinement!"


    "Just what is the origin of this guest alchemist? To actually know Formation Dao Pill Refinement!"


    "Manager Su is evading the subject, looks like the Myriad Treasure Tower really refined a divine-grade Detoxification Pill!"


    ...


    Su Linpu saying this immediately caused a hubbub.


    Everyone was already shocked until it could not be surpassed.


    No matter whether it was the divine-grade Detoxification Pill or Formation Dao Pill Refinement, these were all things that were fantastical in Jewelhill City.


    It was precisely because so that everyone all thought that Liang Wanru died.


    However, these inconceivable things had indeed happened before everyone''s eyes.


    Seeing this scene, Su Linpu smiled until his eyes narrowed.


    With this, Ye Yuan''s fame was considered utterly spread out in Jewelhill City.


    In the future, not only would the Myriad Treasure Tower''s fame overshadow the other few families, the martial artists seeking Ye Yuan for pills would definitely be more as well.


    ...


    In the teahouse, Lu Jinghao and Lin Zaitian slowly sat down. Until now, they still had not recovered.


    When Liang Wanru appeared, the two of them were virtually shocked until they stood up at the same time.


    The Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison being cured, this was absolutely an earth-shaking major matter in Jewelhill City.


    A major event sufficient to change the current Jewelhill City''s status quo!


    Using one''s butt to think and one would also know, starting from today, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business would probably be explosive. The Lu Family and Lin Family''s power would definitely be affected.


    However, the one with the biggest impact was still the Wang Family!


    "Old Lu, I seriously can''t figure out where Yang Rui went to find such a freak!" Lin Zaitian drank a mouthful of tea and said with a bitter smile.


    Lu Jinghao similarly smiled bitterly and said, "This new guest alchemist of the Myriad Treasure Tower is very mysterious, but I didn''t expect that his strength was actually so formidable! With him around, our two families'' days in the future will have a hard time."


    "Yeah! Alchemists able to refine divine-grade Detoxification Pill, we can''t find a second one in the entire Jewelhill City too! However, the one with the biggest headache is still Wang Lingbo. Today''s matter will probably be a bolt out of the blue to him, right?" Lin Zaitian said smilingly.


    "Heh, he was digging a pit to bury himself! Causing a disturbance for over a month, it was actually such an outcome!" Lu Jinghao said rather gloatingly.


    ...


    Toward the events that happened in the outside world, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious.


    To him, every minute and second was precious.


    Refining a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill and divine-grade Detoxification Pill was indeed impressive, but these two kinds of medicinal pills were merely just medicinal pills to build the foundation.


    One-star Heavenly Mark Pill was a thousand times, ten thousand times harder than these two kinds of medicinal pills!


    Even if Ye Yuan used a very short time to refine these two kinds of medicinal pills, 10 year''s time was still a bit of a stretch.


    Ye Yuan fell into a frenzied studying and practicing. Vast knowledge of spirit medicines'' medicinal properties practically stuffed his brain full.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and desperately forced himself to digest again and again!

 1316 100 Years of Bitter Cultivation

    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, time slowly passed quietly. In a twinkle, it was already close to a hundred years.


    Dustless looked at the divine-grade medicinal pill inside the array formation, overflowing with medicinal fragrance, and was speechless for a long time.


    Divine-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill!


    Ye Yuan really did it and only used less than a century!


    Dustless still did not quite dare to believe it until now, that Ye Yuan completed something which even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove could not do.


    He already did his best to overestimate Ye Yuan''s talent, but he discovered now that his estimations were a complete joke.


    This boy in front of him could not be judged with common sense at all.


    "Senior, it''s finally formed!"


    Ye Yuan was also very excited. He knew that he completed a remarkable achievement.


    "Yeah, it''s done! You, kid, are simply born for the sake of alchemy! If it were somebody else, a hundred year''s time to comprehend these spirit medicines'' medicinal properties isn''t even enough," Dustless said with an emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan comprehending these rank one divine rank spirit medicines could simply use enlightening to describe.


    Ever since entering the Selfless Realm at that time, after learning the rudiments, his speed of comprehending medicinal properties could simply use outrageous to describe.


    Each kind of spirit medicine, the medicinal properties were different, but it was not to say that they were completely different.


    Ye Yuan was always able to draw parallels from inference, learning by analogy and inferring other things from one instance.


    After that, he learned the medicinal properties fully very quickly.


    The array formations path, even though Ye Yuan''s improvements were not as good as with alchemy, it also made rapid advancements.


    The array formation to refine the divine-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill was a thousand times, ten thousand times more complicated than the Lesser Divine Essence Formation.


    But Ye Yuan only used 20 years'' time and thoroughly comprehended it!


    "Didn''t Senior also say that because I entered Selfless Realm and had a correspondence point with Heavenly Dao, that''s why it would be so smooth," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "That might be the case, but being able to enter the Selfless Realm in itself is also the manifestation of strength and comprehension ability. You, boy, really made me too surprised," Dustless said.


    "Huhu, many thanks for Senior''s praise, I''d best consume this medicinal pill first! Divine sea being damaged for 10 years, not a trace of essence energy within the body, I''m already about to collapse."


    Ye Yuan already could not wait. These few years of becoming a ''cripple'' really made him aggrieved to the max.


    Medicinal pill entering the abdomen, a majestic medicinal strength instantly scoured all the limbs and bones in his body.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan sensed that his divine sea was being repaired bit by bit.


    Divine-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill indeed lived up to its reputation!


    This century of painstaking effort finally paid off at this moment.


    Even though the divine-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill was just a Tier 1 divine pill, the refining difficulty was not an ordinary kind of great.


    How much effort Ye Yuan put in these close to a hundred years, only he and Dustless knew.


    "This one-star Heavenly Mark Pill is indeed miraculous, to actually be able to trigger Heavenly Dao to repair the divine sea!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in surprise.


    Dustless said, "That is, of course! No matter what medicinal pill, once it reaches divine-grade, that''s being recognized by Heavenly Dao Laws! With your injuries, only by refining a one-star Heavenly Mark Pill can it not leave behind sequela."


    Ye Yuan nodded, indicating understanding.


    Him refining heaven-grade Heavenly Mark Pill had no meaning at all.


    Even though a heaven-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill was likewise able to repair the divine sea, it would cause an irredeemable impact on his future cultivation.


    But the divine-grade one-star Heavenly Mark Pill would not.


    This refinement was ten days and ten nights!


    The one-star Heavenly Mark Pill was just like a refining master, sculpting Ye Yuan''s divine sea with the utmost care.


    Finally, a trace of spiritual energy entered Ye Yuan''s body. After refining it, it turned into divine essence and flowed into the divine sea!


    Ye Yuan felt that the feeling of controlling divine essence was really great!


    ...


    "Tower Lord, Ye Yuan''s seclusion has already been 10 years! The medicinal pills that he left behind are too sought after and were long exhausted clean. These two years, our performance has been declining continuously! The Wang Family pulled through the most difficult period and is showing signs of raising their heads again now."


    Ever since Liang Wanru''s incident 10 years ago, the Myriad Treasure Tower was really glorious for some times, suppressing the three great families.


    One could say that they outshone others already.


    Especially the Divine Essence Pills and Detoxification Pills that Ye Yuan left behind, no matter what grade, they were all very popular.


    The quality of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills were all higher than the same-grade medicinal pills. Furthermore, they were martial artists'' running stock medicinal pills, which were naturally very popular.


    The quantity of medicinal pills that he left was considerable. But it could not hold up to the Myriad Treasure Tower''s boom in business.


    Towards the end, the medicinal pills that he left behind were even hiked to a very high price.


    Even so, it could not stop the buyers'' booming enthusiasm either.


    There would always be those people who did not lack money.


    Finally, the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan left behind were completely exhausted two years ago.


    At that time, it became the turning point of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business. Their performance started to decline.


    The other three families finally grasped this opportunity and counterattacked strongly, reoccupying the market.


    Ye Yuan did not exit seclusion all along, filled Su Linpu with anxiety.


    But Yang Rui was not anxious at all and said with a smile, "Oh, Old Su, your gaze is too narrow and shortsighted! If they want to jump around, just let them go jump around!"


    Su Linpu smiled bitterly and said, "I say, Tower Lord, why aren''t you nervous at all? With the current trend, we''ll return to that sort of situation previously again before long."


    Yang Rui said smilingly, "So what then? Don''t you forget how Ye Yuan refined the divine-grade Detoxification Pill back then! At that time, he only used two months'' time! Now, he entered seclusion for close to ten years, you think about it, once he leaves seclusion, what level will his alchemy strength attain?"


    Su Linpu''s eyes lit up. Only then discovering that he was indeed shortsighted and only saw the immediate benefits.


    He forgot that what brought them this transformation was Ye Yuan!


    As long as Ye Yuan was around, the Myriad Treasure Tower could rise up anew at any time!


    Moreover, he entered seclusion 10 years in one go. Who knew what level his alchemy strength would reach.


    Su Linpu said, "Tower Lord, do you think �� Ye Yuan can refine the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill or not?"


    Yang Rui shook his head and said with a smile, "You''re an alchemist, this question, you should be clearer than me, right? Ten years'' time, how can it possibly refine the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill? However �� we can wait!"


    Su Linpu also felt that his question was rather laughable. The difficulty of the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill could be said to be demon-level.


    Even for Two-star Alchemy Gods, extremely few people could refine it too.


    It was true that Ye Yuan''s talent was abnormally high, but wanting to reach this step, it absolutely could not be done in ten year''s time.


    "Tower Lord, then Su Linpu will take his leave."


    Finished talking, Su Linpu backed out.


    "Manager Su!"


    Su Linpu was just about to enter the Myriad Treasure Tower''s lobby but was stopped by a voice.


    He turned around and could not help being overjoyed, "Ye Yuan, you finally exited seclusion! If you still didn''t exit seclusion, our Myriad Treasure Tower can close shop for good already!"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Manager Su''s joke is overdone. Before this Ye came, wasn''t the Myriad Treasure Tower very lively too? Without Ye Yuan, could it be that the Myriad Treasure Tower can''t operate anymore?"


    Su Linpu chortled with laughter. Suddenly, his countenance changed drastically, and he said stammeringly, "Y-Y-You �� Your divine sea �� already recovered?"


    The current Ye Yuan, his body faintly emitted powerful undulations, becoming like a different person from before closed-seclusion. It was clear at a glance!


    Ye Yuan''s divine sea was repaired!

 1317 Land of Evil Spirits

    "En, Heaven rewards the faithful. I finally recovered!"


    Ye Yuan did not hide anything either, directly admitting it.


    This kind of thing, wanting to conceal it could not be done either. It was clear at a glance.


    But to Su Linpu, this sentence was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue. It was too astonishing.


    He was a One-star Alchemy God too, and he was completely aware of how difficult to refine the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill was.


    To a One-star Alchemy God, this was virtually an impossible task.


    He grabbed hold of Ye Yuan and lowered his voice and said, "You �� You really refined a one-star Heavenly Mark Pill?"


    Refining the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill, that was a heavyweight bomb, much more explosive than divine-grade Detoxification Pill, this thing.


    More importantly, the pill formula of the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill, was not what everyone could know.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to refine it, showed that his background was definitely not simple!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t you see it? Without the one-star Heavenly Mark Pill, I can''t possibly repair my divine sea either."


    "Hiss ��"


    Su Linpu sucked in a cold breath and looked at Ye Yuan with an expression like he had seen a ghost and said, "You, kid, are really a freak! But, the timing you came out is too perfect. Still don''t come out, this old man really almost can''t hold on anymore!"


    Ye Yuan said with a puzzled look, "Where did this come from?


    Su Linpu said, "You aren''t aware how popular those medicinal pills that you refined were in Jewelhill City ��"


    Su Linpu briefly recounted the situation these few years. Ye Yuan was also slightly surprised when he heard it.


    He did not expect that the medicinal pills he refined were actually so sought after.


    Ye Yuan did not shirk either and directly said, "Since that''s the case, I''ll find time to refine a batch of medicinal pills. I don''t dare to say about Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills, but ordinary low-grade divine pills shouldn''t be an issue."


    Su Linpu was overjoyed and said, "Heh, knew that you, kid, won''t shirk! Then this matter will be entrusted to you!"


    Ye Yuan was aware that he owed the Myriad Treasure Tower a favor. After all, without the Myriad Treasure Tower supplying spirit medicines endlessly, he also had no way of refining the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill in ten year''s time.


    But actually, the profits that Ye Yuan brought to the Myriad Treasure Tower was far from as simple as those medicinal pills which he left behind.


    In these ten years, the Myriad Treasure Tower could be said to have limitless glory, crushing the other three families until they could not even raise their heads.


    In this, Ye Yuan had the absolute contribution.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "There are quite a new ready-made divine pills inside the practice room. You can send people to go and tidy it up a bit. I took away all of the divine-grade divine pills. If you all need them, I can help you all refine. Additionally, you make an inventory list and send the spirit medicines to the cultivation room. I''ll go take a look at Miss Wanru first."


    Su Linpu hurriedly said, "That is, of course! These few years, Miss Wanru has missed you dearly!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and suddenly asked, "Manager Su, are there places of evil spirits near Jewelhill City?"


    Su Linpu''s expression changed and he said, "What are you finding lands of evil spirits for? Lands of evil spirits aren''t some good place!"


    Dustless told Ye Yuan that apart from the cities in the Heavenspan World, there were all kinds of evil spirit places.


    The so-called land of evil spirits were places where those martial artists who had abnormal deaths, their divine souls converting to death spirits, and gathering in places where Yin energy was entrenched, forming a land of danger.


    The evil spirits of evil spirit lands killed and devoured each other to strengthen themselves. Those able to survive were mostly powerful.


    Ordinary martial artists, fighting solo was not a match for the evil spirits at all.


    Furthermore, the divine souls of martial artists was excellent nourishment to those evil spirits.


    Once they discovered that there were martial artists who entered the land of evil spirits, they would unleash attacks frenziedly, all the way until devouring the martial artist''s divine soul in the end.


    But the evil spirit lands would also give birth to some Yin-attribute natural treasure. Furthermore, each kind was very valuable. Therefore, quite a number of martial artists would brave the dangers and enter inside to search for treasures.


    Those with good luck could really make a fortune and even maintain several decades, up to a hundred years of cultivation.


    Hence, the moment Su Linpu heard that Ye Yuan wanted to find a land of evil spirits, his expression changed immediately.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This Ye wants to refine a kind of medicinal pill and needs to use Night Twill Grass, so I want to make a trip to a land of evil spirits."


    The matter of possessing the Soul Suppressing Pearl, this kind of empyrean spirit treasure, Ye Yuan naturally would not disclose it. Hence, he made up a reason.


    Him going to a land of evil spirits was naturally not really in order to refine some medicinal pill but to search for nourishment for Dustless.


    The evil spirits of the land of evil spirits were the best nourishment to Dustless.


    At present, there were only three months left from the ten-year period. Ye Yuan already could not afford to delay.


    If he still did not find nourishment for Dustless, Mu Lingxue would not be able to hold on.


    Hence, no matter what, this trip to the land of evil spirits, he had to go.


    But the moment Su Linpu heard, he could not really stop him. The Myriad Treasure Tower really did not have the Night Twill Grass!


    The natural treasures of evil spirit lands were very hard to come by in the outside world.


    Each time it appeared, they would be seized away. Furthermore, the prices were exceedingly high.


    It was precisely because of this that those martial artists would enter the land of evil spirits at the expense of their lives, wanting to find some natural treasures.


    "This �� In the place one million miles in the north-east direction of Jewelhill City, there''s a Yin Wind Den. That place is the largest land of evil spirits in the vicinity of Jewelhill City. But the danger there is also much greater compared to other places. It''s just that other lands of evil spirits probably don''t have the Night Twill Grass," Su Linpu said.


    Ye Yuan became interested the moment he heard this. Evil spirits that were too ordinary did not have much effect on Dustless.


    Dustless told him, want to find a useful land of evil spirits, there must have the Night Twill Grass, this level of spirit medicine.


    Therefore, that was why Ye Yuan would say so.


    He did not expect that there really was one!


    "Manager Su, can you tell me about this Yin Wind Den in detail?" Ye Yuan said.


    Su Linpu nodded and said, "That is, of course! The Yin Wind Den is the largest land of evil spirits in Jewelhill City area. Jewelhill City has quite a few powerful martial artists who would stay at the Yin Wind Den all year round. Some of the Yin-attribute spirit medicines produced there are highly popular with martial artists. But the danger there is also plain for all to see. The Deity Realm powerhouses who die at the Yin Wind Den every year are no fewer than a hundred people! It''s said that the Yin Wind Den''s depths, there are even two-star evil spirits whose strength rivals human Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm! Once encountered, the average person would die beyond a doubt!"


    Ye Yuan felt terror in his heart when he heard it too!


    Grotto Profound Deity Realm was divided into initial-stage, middle-stage, late-stage, as well as grand completion.


    Each minor realm, the strength disparity was exceedingly great.


    Middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists could easily crush initial-stage martial artists!


    Ye Yuan had currently just recovered his strength and was merely initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm.


    While two-star evil spirits, those were existences even stronger than ordinary Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Once ran into two-star evil spirits, they would die without a doubt.


    Dustless said that the Heavenspan World could not compare to the Immortal Grove World anymore.


    In the Immortal Grove World, he would easily devour the Deathsoul Tree.


    But here, he was at most able to deal with a late-stage one-star evil spirit.


    Encountering a one-star grand completion evil spirit, he would have to give a wide berth too.


    As for two-star evil spirits, even he had no way of dealing with them either.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this trip really had quite a bit of danger!


    Su Linpu gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, "If you insist on going, better let Luo Jian follow along with you."

 1318 Spirit Mending Pill and Dao Skandha Pill!

    "Wanru, you''re thinking about Sir Ye again, right?" Hong Yin could not help scoffing when she saw Liang Wanru staring blankly.


    Liang Wanru''s face reddened, and she lowered her head bashfully.


    Hong Yin could not help bursting into laughter when she saw and said, "If you miss him, then miss him, what''s the big deal? A genius like Sir Ye, which woman doesn''t like? Actually, Hong Yin likes him a lot too. It''s just too bad that Hong Yin doesn''t have this fortune and know that he definitely won''t take fancy on me."


    Hong Yin had long seen through that Ye Yuan being so talented, as long as he could repair his divine sea, he would fly to the sky in one move sooner or later.


    Even if he could not repair the divine sea, just based on his unique skill of Formation Dao Pill Refinement, it was also sufficient to gain a foothold in any place!


    For the tower lord to send Luo Jian out to protect Ye Yuan, this in itself indicated many problems.


    Liang Wanru could not help but become interested when she heard and looked towards Hong Yin rather interestedly.


    Hong Yin heaved a melancholic sigh and said, "I''m not joking with you! Not only is Sir Ye''s alchemy talent outstanding, but he''s also even sentimental and righteous. He did not scruple in going up to the Wang Family to plead for your sake. A man like this, which woman won''t be moved? It''s just too bad that he and I are destined to be people of different worlds."


    When Liang Wanru heard these words, she could not help feeling down too.


    After all, not only was she a mute, furthermore, she was just a mortal.


    To talk about being of different worlds, wasn''t she even more so?


    At this time, a knocking sound rang out outside the door. Hong Yin went to open the door to take a look and could not help being inexplicably surprised. The arrival was actually Ye Yuan!


    "Sir Ye, you finally exited seclusion! Ah! You �� You �� recovered your strength?" Hong Yin''s small mouth opened into a circle and could not close her mouth for a long time.


    She had never heard before that after a martial artist''s divine sea was damaged, they could still recover their strength.


    Of course, that was because nobody could refine the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Yeah, ten years of seclusion, finally achieved some results! These few years, thanks to you for accompanying Miss Wanru to relieve her worries and boredom."


    Hong Yin''s little heart pounded heavily, her gaze that looked towards Ye Yuan was filled with worship.


    Hearing that, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "What''s Sir saying? Wanru and I have long become good friends who tell each other everything already. Her life experiences are pitiful, but her character is extremely good. With such a close friend, it''s also all that I could wish for!"


    Liang Wanru saw Ye Yuan enter and went up to welcome joyfully.


    When Ye Yuan saw Liang Wanru, he could not help apologizing, "Miss Wanru, these few years, this Ye was in seclusion, leaving you alone out here. Really sorry about it!"


    Liang Wanru''s face revealed a smile that had not been seen for ages and shook her head, indicating that she did not mind.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "But exiting seclusion this time, this Ye brought you good news!"


    The moment Liang Wanru heard, she could not help becoming doubtful, using a probing gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not leave her hanging and took out two medicinal pills.


    Hong Yin''s gaze turned intent, and she said in astonishment, "Sir Ye, this �� this is Dao Skandha Pill?"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised and said, "You actually recognize the Dao Skandha Pill?"


    These two kinds of medicinal pills were not what the average person could see.


    Inside the Myriad Treasure Tower, there were absolutely no such medicinal pills.


    Because nobody could refine them.


    He did not expect that Hong Yin actually recognized these two kinds of medicinal pills.


    "It''s really the Dao Skandha Pill! Over 30 years ago, the tower lord requested the Dao Skandha Pill from the higherups before. Hong Yin was fortunate to have seen it before. I didn''t expect that after a time interval of many years, I actually saw it once again. Sir, this was refined by yourself?" Hong Yin asked Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If I didn''t refine it, could it be that it fell down from the sky?"


    Hong Yin was unbelievably shocked. She knew how difficult the Dao Skandha Pill''s refinement was. Among Jewelhill City''s alchemists, no one was able to refine it at all.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan actually refined it.


    "I �� I didn''t mean that," Hong Yin was aware that she misspoke and hastily said.


    Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Haha, kidding with you, don''t take it seriously."


    Only then did Hong Yin let out a sigh in relief and asked, "Sir, the quality of this Dao Skandha Pill of yours is much better than what I saw that time! Oh, right, this is the Dao Skandha Pill, then the other one �� could it be the Spirit Mending Pill?"


    Ye Yuan said with a nod, "Miss Hong Yin is really extremely intelligent! That''s right, it''s precisely the Spirit Mending Pill!"


    Hong Yin could not help recalling the big talk Ye Yuan said at the Wang Family. She did not think that he really did it!


    Liang Wanru being unable to open her mouth and talk was because within her body was missing a portion of Heavenly Dao.


    Want to make up this portion of Heavenly Dao, one required the Spirit Mending Pill.


    The effect of this Dao Skandha Pill was to help Liang Wanru be able to break through to the Deity Realm!


    In the Immortal Grove World, for people to want to break through to Deity Realm, one must cultivate the heart realm to the Heaven Man Unity grand completion.


    Because wanting to break through to the Deity Realm required the heart realm to harmonize Essence, Energy, and Spirit, three paths.


    But the Heavenspan World''s powerhouses were able to use divine pills to achieve this sort of effect.


    Hence, using divine pills to help martial artists break through to Deity Realm, this was not considered much in the Heavenspan World.


    Except, this Dao Skandha Pill''s refining difficulty was tremendous. The average One-star Alchemy God really could not refine it.


    Even if they really refined it, the price was also not what the average mortal could afford.


    Back then, Ye Yuan said to Wang Lingbo, not only was he going to resolve the Poisonfeather Thousand Night''s poison, he was even going to let Liang Wanru opened her mouth and talk, and let her step foot into Deity Realm.


    Now, it was all realized!


    No wonder what kind of feeling Wang Lingbo would have when he learned about this news.


    ...


    It was night, a dark shadow flickered and disappeared in the night, entering the Wang Family''s manor.


    In front of Wang Lingbo was a black-clothed man in martial outfit.


    Regarding the black-clothed man''s appearance, Wang Lingbo was not surprised.


    "You came. Could it be that the Myriad Treasure Tower had some new movements?" Wang Lingbo opened his mouth and said coolly.


    The black-clothed man had his face covered and could not see his face clearly at all.


    "Ye Yuan exited seclusion!" the black-clothed man said.


    Wang Lingbo''s eyebrows raised up. A hint of a strange smile flashed across the corners of his mouth, and he said, "That punk finally left seclusion! The humiliation that he brought to my Wang Family must be settled with him properly this time!"


    "Heh, his divine sea recovered!" the black-clothed man said meaningfully.


    Wang Lingbo''s entire body trembled, his gaze when looking at the black-clothed man was incredible shock.


    This news was simply akin to a bolt out of the blue to him!


    "He really refined a one-star Heavenly Mark Pill? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wang Lingbo cried out involuntarily.


    The black-clothed man said with a heated gaze: "Does this old man have a need to lie to you? Not only did he refine a one-star Heavenly Spiritual Pill, he even refined a Spirit Mending Pill and a Dao Skandha Pill! Heh, do you feel that your face �� is burning hot?"


    Wang Lingbo''s eyes stared wide-eyed. He was shocked by the news that the black-clothed man brought until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    Just as the black-clothed man said, his face was really fiery-hot.


    Ten years ago, Ye Yuan saved Liang Wanru. That slap was thrown extremely resoundingly.


    Ten years later, Ye Yuan even refined the Spirit Mending Pill and Dao Skandha Pill, completely realizing the vows back then.


    Could his face not be burning hot?


    Only after a long time did he digest his news. His gaze was cold as he looked at the black-clothed man and said, "You shouldn''t have come this time because you have nothing to do and deliberately came to mock me, right?"


    The black-clothed man chuckled and said, "Of course not! Ye Yuan, he wants to go to the Yin Wind Den!"

 1319 Traitor Arising!

    Two people, two steeds.


    Ye Yuan and Luo Jian, one in front, one at the back, galloped on the open road.


    Today, the sun had not risen yet, and the two people already quietly went out of Jewelhill City.


    In a blink, they already galloped several tens of thousands of miles away.


    Leaving the city this time, Ye Yuan was still very cautious.


    He knew that once the Wang Family learned about the news of him exiting the city, they would definitely deal a killing blow.


    These few years, Ye Yuan had been refining pills inside the World Suppressing Stele all along, refining a large batch of medicinal pills for the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    These medicinal pills, Ye Yuan had notified Manager Su as well, letting him wait until after he went out of the city before starting to roll them out.


    The news of him exiting seclusion was also sealed off very tightly. Apart from a few core members of the Myriad Treasure Tower, no one knew at all.


    After all, he had already entered closed-seclusion for ten years. It was impossible for the Wang Family to constantly keep an eye on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan knew that for the Wang Family to be able to become one of the three great families, they had a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm ancestor.


    Such a great family, Ye Yuan''s current strength could not resist at all.


    Hence, he had no choice but to be more careful.


    It was just that Ye Yuan never dreamed that the news of him leaving seclusion was long leaked to Wang Lingo by someone already.


    The Wang Family''s assassin was long lying in ambush ahead already.


    The two people were currently galloping when a figure in front blocked the way.


    There were no villages ahead and no inns at the back in this place, it was precisely a good place to kill people and rob.


    Swoosh, swoosh ��


    They did not see a person take any action either but two gusts of wind assailed them.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, leaping up.


    Boom!


    The flying dragon colts that the two people were riding were directly blasted into dregs.


    The Heavenspan World''s Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to fly too. This flying dragon colt was a means of travel, capable of traveling as far as several tens of thousands of miles a day!


    He did not expect that they were actually annihilated just like this.


    Judging from the strength that this person exhibited, he was actually a grand completion Grotto Profound expert!


    The two people landed, and Luo Jian''s brows furrowed as he said, "Wang Yugan!"


    The old man smiled faintly and said, "I didn''t expect that there''s still someone who remembers this old man! You''re Luo Jian? I heard of you before, Jewelhill City''s up-and-coming star, known as Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman!"


    Luo Jian''s furrowed his brows but did not answer.


    Ye Yuan''s brows were also tightly locked as he asked, "The Wang Family''s people?"


    Luo Jian nodded his head and said, "The Wang Family''s fourth elder was already Grotto Profound Deity Realm 5000 years ago! He normally doesn''t leave seclusion. I didn''t expect that Wang Lingbo actually sent him out!"


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Our whereabouts have been leaked. Looks like �� the Myriad Treasure Tower has a traitor!"


    "Impossible!" Luo Jian blurted out.


    Clearly, he totally did not believe that the Myriad Treasure Tower would have someone be a traitor.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not dispute.


    Leaving the city this time, he was already very careful but was still found out by the Wang Family''s people. A traitor definitely emerged in the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    This point was indisputable.


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not guess who would betray the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    "Who is it?" Luo Jian suddenly said.


    "There are targets of suspicion, but still don''t dare to confirm. Now isn''t the time to talk about this. Can you deal with this guy?" Ye Yuan said.


    Luo Jian hugged his sword and looked at Wang Yugan and said, "I''ll give it a shot! You leave first!"


    The moment Wang Yugan heard these words, he could not help bursting into laughter and said, "Brat who''s ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! When this old man roamed unobstructed in Jewelhill City, you all weren''t even born yet! Luo Jian, I know that you''re hailed as having the strength that approaches grand completion Grotto Profound. But in front of this old man, there''s absolutely no chance at all."


    Luo Jian was not articulate, he had always used a sword to talk.


    Clank!


    The long sword coming out of the sheath, a cold light appeared!


    Wang Yugan''s laughter abruptly ceased. Luo Jian''s sword already arrived in front of him!


    "Grand completion Grotto Profound! How can that be?!" Wang Yugan exclaimed.


    Exclaiming was exclaiming, but the movements of Wang Yugan''s hands were not the slightest bit slow.


    Clank!


    The long spear came out of the sheath, nailing onto Luo Jian''s sword accurately.


    The webbing between Luo Jian''s thumb and index finger shocked until it turned numb, his figure directly flying out horizontally.


    This time, Luo Jian met his match!


    "Heh, this old man is really very surprised. You actually just broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound before coming out of the city!"


    Even though Wang Yugan was shocked, he was not worried.


    Even if Luo Jian''s strength was very powerful, he was also not his match.


    After all, he was only missing a step to be able to break through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!


    It was just too bad that this step was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    If barring no accidents, it would probably be hard for him to break through in this lifetime.


    Luo Jian looked towards Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing a look of gratitude.


    It was precisely the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill that Ye Yuan gifted him in private that helped him to burst through the bottleneck, breaking through to grand completion Grotto Profound.


    His realm had always been stuck at peak late-stage Grotto Profound but had never found the opportunity to break through.


    With Luo Jian''s current realm, the Divine Essence Pill was long useless to him already.


    Unless it was divine-grade Divine Essence Pill!


    The low-grade Tier 1 divine pills Ye Yuan refined also did not have much effect on him. But this Divine Essence Pill was able to keep on consuming until breaking through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that consuming it still had an effect.


    Under the stimulation of the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill, Luo Jian finally broke through the bottleneck that he was stuck at for many years in one stroke.


    Wang Yugan was shrewd with age and saw through many things with one glance, and could not help saying in surprise, "Looks like it was this brat who helped you to break through the bottleneck. In your current state, unless it''s the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill! Truly inconceivable! This kid refines divine-grade Divine Essence Pills as easily as eating and drinking! No wonder Lingbo that child is so apprehensive of you. With you at the Myriad Treasure Tower, wouldn''t my Wang Family forever not have the day to hold our heads up high?"


    Talking to the back, Wang Yugan did not conceal his killing intent in the slightest.


    Luo Jian gave a cold snort and said, "Want to kill him, go through me first!"


    Wang Yugan smiled and said, "Your breakthrough was indeed out of my expectations. However, this will not change the outcome! You''re still too inexperienced in front of me!"


    Done talking, Wang Yugan''s long spear was raised, suddenly stabbing a spear out, the momentum like a dragon!


    Luo Jian''s face revealed an unprecedented solemnness!


    Wang Yugan''s spear technique was heavy and powerful, with quite the air of a general, and may be rated as experienced and vicious.


    Luo Jian''s figure was akin to a sheet of blank paper under this long spear; it could be torn apart by the wind.


    However, Luo Jian''s Gale Wind Sword Art took the agile route in the first place.


    He did not clash head-on with Wang Yugan but moved around him instead.


    "Ye Yuan, you leave first! I''ll hold him!" Luo Jian shouted.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of moving and said coolly, "This Ye won''t abandon Brother Luo and leave. Brother Luo, feel free to let loose. If Brother Luo perishes, this Ye will die together with you!"


    These words were said decisively, without the least bit of hesitation.


    Ye Yuan''s voice entering the ear, Luo Jian was incomparably touched in his heart.


    Ye Yuan was indeed a sentimental and righteous person. If it were another person, they would have fled long ago.


    The words greatly roused Luo Jian''s spirits. The power of the sword in his hands increasing by a bit.


    Ye Yuan was merely initial-stage Grotto Profound. The disparity between the two was too great, and he could not intervene at all and could only observe from the sideline.


    Ye Yuan''s strength naturally could not compare to ordinary martial artists. But the current him was unable to cross a major realm to battle like at the Immortal Grove World.


    Counting the Voice of the Dragon God, these trump cards, Ye Yuan''s current combat power was also just equivalent to middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of escaping, Wang Yugan also heaved a sigh in relief.


    Luo Jian''s breakthrough was outside of his expectations.


    If Ye Yuan wanted to run away, he could certainly kill Luo Jian. But wanting to capture Ye Yuan again would be hard.

 1320 Mutual Defea

    "Luo Jian, your future is really limitless! Just entering grand completion Grotto Profound, and you''re already able to fight to this extent with this old man! It''s sufficient to be proud!"


    Wang Yugan was also secretly astonished. The height of this Luo Jian''s laws comprehension seriously exceeded his expectations.


    If Luo Jian broke through ten or eight years earlier, he might really not necessarily be this Luo Jian''s match.


    But as for now, he was overpowering strongly. Luo Jian was already forced into a dead end.


    His spear technique was heavy and powerful, but the speed was not slow.


    Luo Jian''s nimbleness was greatly discounted in front of him.


    Suddenly, Wang Yugan''s expression changed. A burst of terrifying sword intent surged towards the sky.


    Luo Jian''s entire person seemed to be burned by fire, his skin becoming wine-red.


    "Heaven and Earth Mutual Longevity!"


    In virtually an instant, Luo Jian''s entire person''s speed and power skyrocketed over tenfold!


    The originally suppressed Luo Jian actually faintly took the upper-hand at this time, his entire person akin to a phantom, charging over towards Wang Yugan.


    In a blink, the two people exchanged several hundred moves, the speed swift to the extreme.


    This move was just like a mutual destruction way of fighting!


    Ye Yuan discerned it, this move was a kind of divine essence burning move, capable of making Luo Jian''s strength skyrocket more than tenfold.


    But this way, it would cause a tremendous burden on his body.


    Furthermore, with the current fighting intensity, Luo Jian could not last long.


    If he could not finish off Wang Yugan, then what awaited the two of them was only death!


    "Brat, although this move is powerful, you''ll croak yourself first before defeating me!" Wang Yugan said with a cold sneer.


    Although his pressure was great, for Luo Jian to want to dispose of him within a short time, it could not be done at all.


    Another sword assaulted, Wang Yugan responded with a cold smile.


    This sword was no different from before.


    He did not hesitate in the slightest, directly raising his spear and striking.


    But just as his spear-tip was about to touch the long sword, Luo Jian''s sword bizarrely disappeared from before his eyes.


    Wang Yugan''s pupils constructed, wanting to react again, but it was already too late.


    Puchi!


    Puchi!


    Two sounds of metal entering the flesh sounded out!


    Wang Yugan''s long sword passed through the chest, toting Luo Jian in the air.


    While Luo Jian''s sword likewise passed through Wang Yugan''s chest!


    Mutual destruction!


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    The two people spewed out a large mouthful of blood at the same time.


    Especially Luo Jian, his golden-colored fresh blood flowed down along the long spear, his appearance very tragic.


    The Luo Jian hanging on the long spear was already unconscious.


    Wang Yugan''s eyes were filled with uncertainty. Why would that sword just now vanish strangely?


    But very soon, his gaze revealed a fierce look, frenziedly mustering divine essence, wanting to rotate the long spear.


    He wanted to grind Luo Jian''s innards to pieces!


    But right at this time, a cold light flashed by. Ye Yuan already rushed over!


    Ye Yuan''s timing was grasped perfectly, not giving Wang Yugan the opportunity to deal the killing blow.


    Even though Wang Yugan was very strong, he was not yet powerful to the extent where he did not fear Ye Yuan''s attack.


    "Fine sword art! It''s too bad that you''re still too unskilled!"


    Wang Yugan gave a fierce cry. There was no time to rotate the spear, directly extending a leg and kicking Luo Jian flying.


    This kick was powerful and heavy, directly kicking Luo Jian flying out several tens of thousands of feet away.


    Wang Yugan''s movements were extremely agile. The long spear swung and already pointed towards Ye Yuan!


    In Wang Yugan''s view, with his strength, even if seriously injured, killing Ye Yuan was merely the matter of a move.


    But right then, a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Wang Yugan''s gaze turned intent.


    "Roar!"


    A heaven-shaking dragon roar sounded out.


    After arriving at the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan unleashed the Voice of the Dragon God for the first time!


    Accurately speaking, it should be the first time Ye Yuan exhibited the Voice of the Dragon God after breaking through to Deity Realm!


    In the Immortal Grove World, he was able to muster the power of Heavenly Dao. Killing people was just a matter of flicking a finger and did not need to use the Voice of the Dragon God at all.


    However, the Ye Yuan who broke through to Deity Realm unleashing the Voice of the Dragon God was already totally different from before.


    The limitation of realms made Ye Yuan completely unable to unleash the true power of this move.


    His dragon soul awakening directly comprehended the first level of the Voice of the Dragon God.


    But due to the limitations of realm, he could only unleash the entry-level power of this move. Furthermore, he could only persist two to three breaths of time.


    But now, his limitations were much fewer.


    This Voice of the Dragon God move was at the boundary of first level grand completion!


    Leaping realms to battle was no object!


    If Wang Yugan was at his prime, Ye Yuan naturally could not do anything to him.


    But now, it was just perfect!


    Wang Yugan''s entire person was akin to being struck by lightning, being shocked by this move until he bled from the seven orifices.


    Especially that wound, under the catalyzing of the Voice of the Dragon God, it enlarged abruptly, golden fresh blood spraying forth like a fountain!


    The battle results which Luo Jian exchanged with his life as the price, Ye Yuan could not waste it no matter what!


    Ten breaths!


    This was the limit that Ye Yuan could achieve at present. Anymore and Ye Yuan would not have strength leftover to escape anymore.


    The disparity between him and Wang Yugan was too great, and he could not kill him at all.


    Being able to pile on injuries on top of injuries was already the limit.


    In the next instant, Ye Yuan''s figure retreated explosively, grabbing Luo Jian and speeding away into the distance.


    "Old Fogey, today''s grudge, this Ye has remembered it! Your dog head will dwell on your body for the time being! Ye Yuan will definitely come to take it one day!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared in Wang Yugan''s line of sight, those cold words of Ye Yuan''s reverberating in the air.


    Wang Yugan''s complexion was deathly pale. He did not think that the initial-stage Grotto Profound Ye Yuan actually had such a formidable ace in the hole.


    The heaven and earth laws contained in this level of sound wave attack was too terrifying. If Ye Yuan''s strength was a little stronger, he would definitely have to meet his end here today.


    Wang Yugan knew that Ye Yuan was an alchemist, but did not expect that Ye Yuan''s combat strength was actually so strong!


    Just based on this move, it was sufficient for Ye Yuan to sweep across opponents of the same level already.


    Even middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists might not be Ye Yuan''s match either!


    Only late-stage Grotto Profound powerhouses could steadily win Ye Yuan.


    Today''s matter looked like Luo Jian saving Ye Yuan.


    Actually, looking from another angle, it was still Ye Yuan saving himself.


    If not for him helping Luo Jian to break through, even if Luo Jian exhausted all of his trump cards, he could not possibly hurt him too.


    "That move just now was clearly a demon race''s supreme martial technique! He �� is a human. How could he know that martial technique?"


    Wang Yugan consumed a medicinal pill, his gaze full of wariness.


    His chest had a large hole torn open, looking incomparably grim.


    The wound that Luo Jian caused was merely the width of a sword.


    But Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God forcefully ripped open a large hole in his wound.


    Except, even though the injuries were severe, it was not sufficient to be life-threatening.


    Wanting to kill a Deity Realm powerhouse was very difficult.


    Three days later, Wang Yugan''s injuries were finally brought under control.


    He took out a talisman and slowly opened his mouth and said, "The situation has changed, the ambush failed! Send out Second Elder, Third Elder. That child absolutely can''t be left alive!"


    Finished talking, the talisman emitted a blinding light, vanishing in the air.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan brought heavily wounded and dying Luo Jian, and already escaped several tens of thousands of miles away.

 1321 Sharing Weal and Woe

    At the Wang Family manor, Wang Lingbo''s face was filled with dark clouds.


    He did not expect that Fourth Elder personally making a move actually failed to kill Ye Yuan!


    About Fourth Elder''s strength, he was all too clear.


    Even though Luo Jian was known as the Myriad Treasure Tower''s number one swordsman, in front of Fourth Elder, it was completely not enough to look at.


    However, Fourth Elder actually failed!


    If he did not wait until those two people came, then forget it. But Fourth Elder actually turned to the family to request for help. That explained that they had definitely exchanged blows before.


    The result was that those two people ran away!


    This matter was definitely very troublesome. Otherwise, Fourth Elder absolutely would not turn to the family to ask for help.


    It was just that Wang Lingbo could not figure it out no matter what, a Luo Jian plus a Ye Yuan, on what basis to be able to make it so difficult for Fourth Elder?


    "Lingbo, what are you finding the two of us old fellows for?"


    A lean elder walked into. That was the Wang Family''s second elder, Wang Yutao.


    Behind him even followed a person. It was precisely the Wang Family''s third elder, Wang Yumin.


    These two people were similarly grand completion Grotto Profound experts. Their strengths were even a notch above Wang Yugan''s.


    The moment Wang Lingbo saw the two people, he recounted Ye Yuan''s affairs in haste.


    "Uncles, if we allow this child to carry on growing, it will likely be very hard for my Wang Family to have a foothold in Jewelhill City anymore. Uncles, please take action. You must cut this boy down in the Yin Wind Den," Wang Lingbo said with a solemn expression.


    Hearing the sequence of events of the matter, Wang Yutao also had a solemn expression as he said, "Even though our Jewelhill City is Heavenly Emperor FuFeng''s territory, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s fame is too great. We can suppress the Myriad Treasure Tower and fight for the greatest benefits, but we can''t really lose all decorum with them. But this Ye Yuan indeed can''t be left alive! This time, it''s the best time to kill him."


    Wang Lingbo nodded and said, "I think so as well! Once he returns to Jewelhill City, or Yang Rui learns about this matter, we''d have no way of making a move anymore!"


    Wang Yutao said, "Old Third, let''s go through the trouble and make a trip, and eliminate this troublesome fellow for the Wang Family!"


    "I''ll listen to Second Brother." Wang Yumin did not say much and was concise to the point.


    ...


    "Heh, are you dead? Sit up and let me take a look if you didn''t die!"


    Seeing Luo Jian open both eyes, a large rock in Ye Yuan''s heart finally landed.


    Experiencing life and death, Ye Yuan also lowered his guard towards Luo Jian. When talking, it also became much more casual.


    He knew that Luo Jian was already not in jeopardy. That was why he would talk like that.


    Currently, a month''s time already passed since leaving the city.


    In order to treat Luo Jian''s injuries, Ye Yuan expended a huge price.


    The divine-grade healing medicinal pills that he refined were also pretty much depleted.


    The effects of low-grade Tier 1 healing divine pills were still a little minor on Luo Jian''s wounds.


    Hence, Ye Yuan could only use numbers to make up for it.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan was full of divine-grade medicinal pills on him. The medicinal effects were very strong. That was how it saved Luo Jian''s life.


    If it were others, being so seriously injured, they would die without a doubt.


    Luo Jian gritted his teeth and forced himself to sit up, looking at Ye Yuan in amazement.


    "It was you who saved me?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Are there still others here?"


    "But my injuries ��"


    Luo Jian was very clear about his injuries. When he suffered grievous injuries with Wang Yugan back then, he already harbored the resolve to die.


    He wanted to severely wound Wang Yugan with death as the price and create an opportunity for Ye Yuan to escape.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said half-jokingly, "Between you and I shouldn''t have that kind of life-and-death relationship yet, right? You just stupidly perish together with him?"


    Luo Jian said, "I owe Tower Lord a life. He made me protect you at all costs. If I die, this life will be returned to him!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Is your life so worthless? Now, you''ve also died earlier already, and then I''ve helped you return your life to him!"


    Luo Jian choked, faintly sensing that something was not quite right, but did not know how he should refute.


    This time, he had indeed made a trip to and from the gates of hell. Ye Yuan''s words had no problem, it just sounded somewhat weird.


    "Huhu, making a joke, don''t think that much. Your injuries have just healed, you still need lots of rest. But we''ve already delayed a very long time. We can only grudgingly get on the road," Ye Yuan patted his shoulders and said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan knew that this guy was an enigma. Beating with a bamboo pole could not force anything out; very boring.


    But this guy was indeed loyal enough, putting his own life on the line for a favor back then.


    This kind of person was worth getting to know.


    Luo Jian frowned and said, "You saved me, then what about that Wang Yugan?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "He isn''t injured lightly too. But to recover his strength, it''s got to take more than half a month too. At this time, he might already be on the way to the Yin Wind Den to block us."


    Luo Jian''s gaze turned intent, keenly catching some information from Ye Yuan''s words.


    He knew the power of his sword. Even though powerful, it was absolutely not fatal.


    Resting for a few days, and it was basically able to recover already.


    But Ye Yuan said that he required over half a month''s time to recuperate!


    Could it be that his sword stabbed a critical point?


    Or �� it was caused by Ye Yuan?


    Thinking back, he was penetrated on the long spear. If Ye Yuan did not make a move, it was absolutely impossible to save him.


    Luo Jian was taken aback with fright by this judgment of his!


    Even if Wang Yugan was severely injured by him, he was also absolutely not what Ye Yuan could hurt.


    However, what was going on?


    An initial-stage Grotto Profound was able to harm grand completion Grotto Profound?


    Luo Jian instantly felt that he was somewhat flustered.


    "Hey, thinking about what?" Ye Yuan patted the dazed Luo Jian.


    Luo Jian abruptly startled awake, but said, "Our mounts were already killed by Wang Yugan, how to go?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "That''s easy. You wait here for me, I''ll be right back!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved rapidly, vanishing in Luo Jian''s vision in a blink of an eye.


    Around an hour''s time passed, Luo Jian was suddenly startled. Dust was kicking up in the distance. Two powerful auras were rushing over to this side.


    These two auras were the auras of divine beasts!


    Luo Jian had long discovered that this place was adjacent to the Myriad Beast Forest. It was all too normal to have divine beasts run out.


    In his current state, it was impossible to deal with a divine beast.


    Luo Jian was just about to turn tail and run, but suddenly discovered that one a demonic beast, a person was actually riding there!


    Ye Yuan!


    This guy used an hour and tamed two divine beasts?


    Luo Jian''s eyeballs stared like wide-saucers. He did not think that the method Ye Yuan said was actually this!


    These were two Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard, their speed extremely swift, arriving in front of Luo Jian in a blink of an eye.


    One of the Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard was precisely that one that besieged Ye Yuan the last time.


    Only then, did Luo Jian suddenly recall that Ye Yuan had once said before whatever beast taming art at the Wang Family!


    At that back, Ye Yuan even revealed dragon pressure.


    This way, the dragon race bloodline in Ye Yuan''s body must be exceptionally powerful!


    Luo Jian suddenly discovered that the secrets on Ye Yuan were seriously too many!


    "Heh, one each. They are much more convenient to work with than the flying dragon colts!" Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh

 1322 Overbearingly Blocking the Path

    "The three of you, come here!" A guard looking martial artist was shouting to the three martial artists who were about to enter the Yin Wind Den.


    Those three martial artists'' expressions changed. The martial artist in the lead said unhappily, "What for?"


    The guard shouted coldly, "The three of you, put your palms on it!"


    "Humph! Who the hell are you all? You ask us to put, and we''ll put?"


    "If you don''t put, then we''ll help you put!"


    "What a joke! The three of us brothers had entered this Yin Wind Den no less than a hundred times already, and had never seen before such a rude request! Who the hell are you guys, to actually dare be so arrogant?"


    "Who we are, you all don''t need to care. Just comply, that will do!"


    "Then what if �� we don''t do it?"


    ...


    Before long, those three people obediently put their palms on that instrument.


    Very soon, the instrument gave off a green light.


    The guard shot the three of them a cold glance and said, "Scram, if you did it long ago, wouldn''t you have dispensed with physical pain?"


    The three people did not dare to refute, leaving angrily.


    At this time, over ten people were gathered outside the Yin Wind Den, like a checkpoint was set up.


    All who wanted to enter the Yin Wind Den must go through that instrument''s check.


    This group of guards was naturally the Wang Family''s men after changing attires.


    Such overbearing actions, they naturally did not dare admit that they were members of the Wang Family.


    "Second Brother, is this method reliable? What if that boy sees our line-up and gets frightened away?" Wang Yugan asked Wang Yutao.


    Wang Yutao said coolly, "Relax, Yumin cut off his way back. Unless he doesn''t want the Night Twill Grass, otherwise, he definitely has to enter the Yin Wind Den. The first time that boy did when he left seclusion was to find a land of dead spirits. This shows that this place is very important to him, he''ll definitely come."


    Wang Yugan said, "I''m worried, no idea what kind of reaction Yang Rui will have if he knows about this matter."


    Wang Yutao laughed coldly and said, "Heh, if he''s already dead, what reaction can he have? Put your heart back into your stomach. We arranged many hidden sentries along the way, and that boy got two Cloudsoul Sound Rending Leopard as mounts from no idea where and is already headed over here. But �� that kid is indeed quite troublesome. Our hidden sentries had just discovered him and were already disposed of."


    Wang Yugan deeply felt that way too and said, "Yeah, I also didn''t think that not only is that kid a master of alchemy, but he''s also even a martial arts expert! If not for his realm being too low, I probably couldn''t see Second Brother anymore."


    Thinking about it now, Wang Yugan also felt lingering fear.


    Luo Jian''s and Ye Yuan''s might greatly exceeded his imaginations.


    At that time, he knew that he most likely could not take care of these two people by himself, that was why he would seek help from the family.


    Wang Yutao came over very quickly and even brought the auxiliary-model profound divine artifact, a spectroscope.


    This spectroscope was able to identify the martial artist''s divine soul. As long as there was an item that the other party used before, it would do.


    This thing was naturally out of fear that Ye Yuan would change his looks and slip by.


    ...


    Behind a pile of debris, two people''s heads were ducked down.


    Luo Jian''s expression was solemn as he said, "The Wang Family laid down an inescapable net, just waiting for us to collide onto the spear tip! Didn''t expect that even the spectroscope was deployed!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In order to kill me, the Wang Family actually brought out such a massive line-up, truly thinking highly of this Ye."


    Luo Jian looked at Ye Yuan''s indifferent expression and could not help saying gloomily, "You can still smile! The hidden sentries that we disposed of along the way were already seven or eight of them. I reckon that they should have guessed that we''ve already arrived here."


    Speaking of this, Luo Jian was impressed by Ye Yuan to the max.


    Along the way, all of the hidden sentries were all discovered by Ye Yuan. No matter how concealed those people hid, they all could not escape Ye Yuan''s arcane sights.


    This guy was simply a freak!


    If not for the case, the Wang Family would probably wait here in hopes that a hare would kill itself by crashing into a tree trunk, but directly go over to encircle and suppress.


    It was precisely because they finished off those hidden sentries that they were able to secretly lay low in the vicinity of the Yin Wind Den.


    "Huhu, why can''t I smile? I''m really not scared of things blowing up! Since they came to kill me, they''ll have to be prepared to be counter-killed by me!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Counter-kill? Are you joking?! Last time was Wang Yugan not being prepared, that''s how we succeeded. This time, he even called over Wang Yutao. That Wang Yutao''s strength is even a notch above Wang Yugan''s! Ye Yuan, we''d better return to Jewelhill City and seek help from Tower Lord!"


    Along the way, Luo Jian himself also did not become conscious that his words with Ye Yuan became more and more.


    He was still that callous Luo Jian. But facing Ye Yuan, he could not be unfeeling no matter what.


    The brotherhood established after sharing life and death was so miraculous.


    Hearing Luo Jian''s words, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It''s too late! Moreover, returning for help now, it will definitely be what the Wang Family hopes for! If my conjectures are right, the way back is long cut off by them already."


    Being cut off was not the main point, the main point was that Ye Yuan really could not afford to delay.


    Originally, there were less than three months'' time left. Now, one and a half months had already been used up along the way, and only a month''s time was left.


    This to and fro, he could afford to wait, but Mu Lingxue could not.


    Luo Jian''s expression changed, and he said, "So �� what then?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Your injuries are not yet fully healed. Find a place to hide and wait outside for me. I''ll go in alone!"


    "Absolutely not! Putting aside that you can''t clear the Wang Family, that hurdle, even if you clear it, the evil spirits inside are also not what you can deal with! I know that your strength is much stronger than it looks on the surface, but the evil spirits in this Yin Wind Den are far stronger than you imagine!" Luo Jian immediately rejected this suggestion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, could it be that I''ll send myself to death? Rather, you believe that a traitor arose in the Myriad Treasure Tower now, right?"


    Luo Jian''s expression was incomparably ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s words really hit the mark.


    Want to utilize the spectroscope, there must be an item that the person used day-to-day.


    Very clearly, if there wasn''t the Myriad Treasure Tower''s internal staff, this spectroscope had no way to be used at all.


    Being able to obtain Ye Yuan''s and Luo Jian''s day-to-day items, this person''s position in the Myriad Treasure Tower was quite high!


    Luo Jian gritted his teeth and said, "If I find out who it is, I''ll definitely tear him limb from limb!"


    Luo Jian was a straightforward type, facing opponents, he could throw his life.


    But, if he was stabbed in the back by his own, he would really be aggrieved to the extreme.


    Originally, this trip could have been calm and tranquil, who would have expected that so many unforeseen events would be added.


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would already be a dead man now.


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Relax, you''ll definitely have a chance! When we return to the Myriad Treasure Tower, we''ll naturally have to settle this score properly! I''m going!"


    Luo Jian raised his head and looked, his pupils involuntarily shrunk.


    He discovered that the flesh on Ye Yuan''s face gave off a series of bizarre transformation, and he actually became another person.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan''s entire disposition also underwent a massive transformation, about the same as those martial artists who entered the Yin Wind Den.

 1323 Spectroscope Broke

    Luo Jian smiled bitterly and said, "It''s no use! Unless you can disguise the divine soul, otherwise, even if your face-altering skill is any more powerful, it can''t hide from the spectroscope too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You just watch!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swaggered over towards the Wang Family''s checkpoint just like this.


    "Halt!" When a house-guard saw Ye Yuan come over, he immediately stopped him.


    Ye Yuan had a panic-stricken expression as he said, "You �� What do you all want to do? I �� I don''t have divine essence stones on me!"


    The house-guard glared and said, "Who wants your divine essence stones? Go over, put your hand on that instrument!"


    "Ah? O-Oh, that''s easy! That is easy!"


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately running over and placing his palm on it.


    Amidst the rubble, Luo Jian stared at this scene unblinkingly, his heart leaping to his throat.


    To Luo Jian, he had never encountered an incident that made him palpitate with anxiety and fear like this before.


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, and he revealed a look of incredulity!


    The spectroscope �� actually gave off a green light!


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    Luo Jian muttered to himself, being dumbstruck with astonishment by this scene.


    He had never seen before that the spectroscope would fail!


    No, wait! Not failed, but made a blunder in judgment!


    The spectroscope emitting a green light indicated that the divine soul imprint on the item did not match, while a blue color represented the person himself.


    Now, the spectroscope became green color, meaning that it made an error in judgment!


    No wonder Ye Yuan was so confident. It turned out that he really had the ability to pass through the spectroscope''s detection.


    When Ye Yuan pressed toward the spectroscope, Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan, both involuntarily looked at him.


    However, they did not become suspicious. Ye Yuan''s performance was not much different from ordinary bottom-level martial artists.


    Martial artists who came to the Yin Wind Den were mostly living at the lowest rung. Otherwise, who would be willing to take part in this kind of life-risking transaction?


    Ye Yuan''s appearance of viewing divine essence stones like his life directly dispelled their suspicions.


    When seeing the spectroscope become green color, they no longer had the mood to pay attention to Ye Yuan.


    "Heh, a bunch of ignorant fools, to actually use such junk in front of this old man! Truly overestimating its ability!"


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, came Dustless''s disdainful cold snort.


    As if using this spectroscope to inspect Ye Yuan''s divine soul was a very insulting thing to him.


    Those in the same profession were foes; these words were not false at all.


    Who was he, Dustless?


    That was the ancestor of playing with divine souls!


    A mere profound divine artifact was really inadequate to look at when placed before him.


    In front of an empyrean spirit treasure, this spectroscope was also not much different from a child''s toy.


    "Haha, these guys also don''t know that I still have a great divinity like you on me!"


    Ye Yuan secretly showered Dustless with flattery.


    Dustless snorted coldly and said, "Such a junk, if this old man wants it to become green, it will become green; make it become blue, it will have to become blue; make it become yellow, it will still have to become yellow!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Then can Senior make it become blue in a while?"


    Dustless said, "What''s difficult about this? I You''re thinking of �� luring them in?"


    Ye Yuan said, "That''s right! If didn''t make the Wang Family suffer a bit of a loss, they would really think that this young master is easy to knead!"


    Dustless was also very moved by this suggestion and said, "That''s easy! I''ll do the tampering!"


    In the real world, Ye Yuan lightly lifted his hand away and asked the house-guard with a startled appearance: "This �� It''s fine already, right?"


    The house-guard had an impatient look and waved his hand and said, "Get lost then!"


    Ye Yuan smiled fawningly and ran like flying.


    Seeing Ye Yuan pass through the checkpoint smoothly, Luo Jian finally let out a sigh in relief.


    But regarding Ye Yuan entering the Yin Wind Den alone, he was still rather worried.


    He did not wait at the arranged place according to Ye Yuan''s instructions but waited to see in the rubble pile.


    Not long after Ye Yuan entered the Yin Wind Den, there was another batch of martial artists who wanted to enter the Yin Wind Den.


    As usual, they were naturally stopped by the Wang Family.


    But when the first martial artist put his hand on it, a strange thing happened.


    "Blue! It''s him!"


    That house-guard shouted loudly and was about to take action.


    That martial artist had a blank look, completely unaware of what was happening.


    "This elder brother, are you all mistaken? Us seven brothers are known as the ''Yin Wind Seven Heroes,'' mucking around in the Yin Wind Den all year round. How can I possibly be the person that you''re finding?"


    That martial artist had also seen before a great spectacle. He did not attack but opened his mouth to explain unhurriedly.


    "Yeah, this lord, us seven brothers are also considered to have some minor fame in Jewelhill City. Quite a few people recognize us, are you all mistaken?" said another person among the seven people.


    "Heh, how can what the spectroscope detect possibly be wrong? Surrender obediently without resistance!" the house-guard said.


    The Wang Family''s people already surrounded the Yin Wind Seven Heroes at this time. As long as they dared to move, they would immediately make a move to destroy them.


    Seeing the spectroscope become blue, Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan were also greatly roused in spirits.


    But hearing that martial artist''s explanation, he could not help becoming somewhat suspicious.


    The name Yin Wind Seven Heroes, Wang Yutao had really heard before.


    These seven people''s strength, they were not weak. They were fooling around at the Yin Wind Den all year round, and even sold natural treasures to the Wang Family before.


    The Yin Wind Seven Heroes'' boss, Chang Liang, said carefully, "This lord, let''s not attack first. Perhaps �� there''s really something wrong with the spectroscope?"


    The house-guard was just about to speak when Wang Yutao divided the crowd and came in.


    He looked at Chang Liang and said with tightly knitted brows, "You''re the Yin Wind Seven Heroes'' boss, Chang Liang?"


    The moment Chang Liang heard, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Precisely so! This lord, us seven brothers examined our hearts that we have not offended Your Excellency before, I wonder this ��"


    Wang Yutao''s brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "You put your hand on it again and try!"


    Chang Liang knew that this one in front of him was formidable and did not dare to disobey, putting his hand on it as per his words.


    Green color!


    Chang Liang''s expression loosened up, and he said with clasped hands, "Your Excellency, indeed a mistake, right?"


    Wang Yutao ignored him and said to the other six people, "You all put your hands on it!"


    The few people exchanged glances. Chang Liang glared and said in a low voice, "Still in a daze for what? Didn''t hear what this lord said?"


    The six people were startled and quickly put their hands on the spectroscope one by one.


    Yellow color!


    Purple color!


    Azure color!


    Blue color!


    Red color!


    Each one that put on it, Wang Yutao''s complexion became a shade blacker.


    Chang Liang''s cold sweat was pouring by the side, fearing of angering this lord.


    Clearly, this one had already reached the brink of eruption. He only hoped not to innocently get involved in a disaster due to others.


    The last one put his hand on it. Wang Yutao''s expression became even more unbelievably fascinating.


    Various colors of light flickered incessantly and actually emitted a multi-colored light!


    Puchi!


    Suddenly, a cloud of azure smoke emanated from the spectroscope.


    Destroyed!


    The surroundings were dead silent, no one dared to speak.


    The last member of the Yin Wind Seven Heroes was frightened until he trembled all over, completely did not understand what happened.

 1324 Ye Yuans Provocation

    "This �� What''s going on?"


    Wang Yugan''s had a stunned look, uncertain why the perfectly fine spectroscope would have this kind of thing happen.


    But Wang Yutao''s expression changed, and he suddenly turned around, looking in the direction of the Yin Wind Den.


    "Damn it! It must be that punk just now! We were all fooled by him!"


    Wang Yutao reacted very quickly, furious until he thumped his chest and stomped his feet.


    However, it was already too late!


    The current Ye Yuan was long gone already.


    The Yin Wind Den extended in all directions. Wanting to catch Ye Yuan was too difficult.


    "Second brother, what on earth is going on?" Wang Yugan had yet to react and asked.


    Wang Yutao''s face fell, and he said, "If I didn''t guess wrongly, this spectroscope was definitely spoiled by that punk who went in previously! That punk was definitely the Ye Yuan after altering his looks!"


    Wang Yugan was stunned and said, "That''s impossible, right? When the spectroscope was testing, he was clearly a green color."


    Wang Yutao shot him a glance like looking at an idiot and said, "Still spectroscope? This spectroscope is merely a joke in front of that kid! No idea what method that punk used either, breaking the spectroscope. He''s provoking us here!"


    Wang Yutao was livid with rage and wished to swallow Ye Yuan whole.


    Not only did this guy slip away from under their eyelids, he even broke the Wang Family''s profound divine artifact.


    Even though this place was the Heavenspan World, profound divine artifact, this sort of thing, was absolutely not some run-of-the-mill good.


    The average Deity Realm powerhouse did not have divine artifacts at all.


    An ordinary profound divine essence was worth at the very least several hundred thousand low-grade divine essence stones too!


    And this spectroscope belonged to the auxiliary-type divine artifact. The price was even more ridiculous, close to a million low-grade divine essence stones!


    Hearing Wang Yutao said so, Wang Yugan finally came to his senses.


    Thinking about it, it was clearly that this possibility was the greatest!


    "Second Brother, you''re saying that the kid deliberately broke the spectroscope to disgust us?"


    "Otherwise? He could clearly go inside quietly, but broke the spectroscope! He''s clearly telling us that he has already gone in, and that if you all have the capabilities, come and catch me! What is this if it''s not taunting us?" Wang Yutao said furiously.


    Anger was anger, but Wang Yutao was still extremely shocked in his heart.


    The spectroscope was not what anybody could spoil!


    Even if you let a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse come, it was also impossible for him to spoil the spectroscope under the circumstances of not making a sound.


    Moreover, breaking it was breaking it, this spectroscope actually changed into all sorts of colors.


    If not for seven people coming in one go, they might have made a massive blunder today.


    "This �� Second Brother, then what should we do now?" Wang Yugan was also rather flustered.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan''s methods emerged in endless streams; He was like a porcupine, making them unable to bite down.


    The Wang Family''s initial-most judgment of Ye Yuan was that his pill refining talent was very high. But did not think that he also had such frightening talent in martial arts.


    Furthermore, he even seemed to have very deep ties with the demon race.


    Such an opponent really made their heads hurt to the extreme.


    Wang Yutao swept a fierce glare. While staring at the Yin Wind Seven Heroes, he roared, "What are you looking at? Still not scramming for me?"


    Chang Liang and the rest behaved like they were granted amnesty, running away like a puff of smoke.


    This Chang Liang was a middle-stage Grotto Profound powerhouse too, his strength uncommon.


    But in front of Wang Yutao, it was not enough to look at at all. How could he dare to provoke the other party?


    "Big Brother, what the hell is going on here?" along the way, a brother asked Chang Liang.


    Chang Liang saw that they had walked far away, that was why he said softly, "The Wang Family is catching no idea who. But don''t know why, he smoked his way through. Not only did he slip through, he even broke their spectroscope! You say, can they not be furious?"


    Everyone was tongue-tied when they heard.


    "Big Brother, how did you know that was the Wang Family''s people?"


    Chang Liang said, "Heh, I''ve met Wang Yutao once before. But we''re minor characters, he doesn''t remember me, that''s all."


    "Goodness gracious, the Wang Family put out such a grand line-up and even deployed the spectroscope, wonder who they are catching?"


    A glimmer of brilliance flashed across Chang Liang''s eyes, and he said with a cold smile, "Heh heh, who else can they be capturing? If I didn''t guess wrongly, it''s most likely that Myriad Treasure Tower''s newly-ascended guest alchemist! To be able to make the Wang Family take up arms like so, there''s also only him. Really have no idea what background this guest alchemist has, not only is his alchemy skills unparalleled, he can actually even spoil the spectroscope unbeknownst to god and ghosts! Truly remarkable!"


    Turns out, Chang Liang had been feigning ignorance all along. He had long known that the other party was the Wang Family''s people and even guessed that they were here to capture Ye Yuan.


    This sort of martial artist who flopped around at the bottom was much more tactful and slippery than ordinary people.


    If they exposed the Wang Family''s true colors previously, they would probably have no way of leaving alive anymore.


    But at this time, Chang Liang was filled with admiration towards Ye Yuan, this person whom he had never met.


    To be able to toy with the entire Wang Family in the palm of his hand, there was likely only him, right?


    The Myriad Treasure Tower''s Yang Rui and Wang Family fought for so long and did not gain any advantage at all.


    "But honestly speaking, the Divine Essence Pill that that alchemist refined, really have nothing to say about the quality! It''s much better than the Wang Family''s!" said another brother.


    Chang Liang nodded and said, "I also bought a few by pulling strings the last time, the quality is indeed excellent! If not for the case, the Wang Family would not go through such great troubles either. If I were Wang Lingbo, I''d also want to eliminate for good!"


    Only when he saw Chang Liang and the rest went away did Wang Yutao said icily, "Yugan, immediately notify Yumin, have him hurry to the Yin Wind Den! He''ll guard outside, we''ll �� all go in! Isn''t he provoking us? Then this old man will let him see the price of provoking the Wang Family! Humph!"


    ...


    Entering the Yin Wind Den, Ye Yuan felt a series of Yin wind blow from the depths of the cave, making him involuntarily shudder.


    He hurriedly revolved his bloodline power, instantly blocking this gust of Yin wind outside.


    The dragon race''s vitality was very powerful. For ordinary Yin wind to want to corrode Ye Yuan, it really could not be done.


    In this peripheral, the human martial artists who went in and out were really quite a few.


    But the further in you go, the lesser the people.


    Suddenly, there was a shrill scream. An evil spirit rushed out of the corner, biting towards Ye Yuan.


    The bite of an evil spirit targeted the divine soul, very hard to defend against.


    When newbies enter the Yin Wind Den, if they did not have veterans leading, it was very easy to fall for it.


    But when Ye Yuan saw that evil spirit, he was very spurred on. Those eyes were glossy and green, like a starving wolf.


    "Heh, came right on time! This young master �� is already unable to hold back my hunger and thirst!" Ye Yuan laughed coldly and welcomed it.


    Creak.


    Ye Yuan''s claw extended out strangely, directly grabbing that evil spirit in his hand, like pinching his vital point.


    That evil spirit only had time to emit a miserable cry and was subdued by Ye Yuan.


    "Senior, your turn!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Heh, still need you, kid, to teach me?"


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, the Soul Suppressing Pearl suddenly activated. A surge of soul vortex opened up with Ye Yuan as the center.


    That evil spirit was directly gobbled up by the vortex.

 1325 Kid, New Here, Right?

    "How does it feel?"


    "Too weak! This evil spirit is merely initial-stage One-star, even not enough to fill the gaps between my teeth at all."


    "This �� Senior, your appetite is also a bit too big, right?"


    "Bullsh*t! The Soul Suppressing Pearl is an empyrean spirit treasure. Even if you catch a few Four-star, Five-star evil spirits, it''s also not enough for this old man to digest!"


    "Fine, what on earth should I do then?"


    "Late-stage One-star evil spirits and have got to be three to five hundred no matter what!"


    "Senior, this is daylight robbery. How long can three to five hundred last?"


    "Barely enough for ten years! If I can devour a Two-star evil spirit, I can last a hundred years."


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said huffily, "Do you think that I can get you a Two-star evil spirit right now? If I really run into one, whether it is you devouring him or him swallowing me up is hard to say!"


    "Haha, I''m just saying! But, if I can really devour a Two-star evil spirit, I''ll be able to help you cultivate the divine soul, and advance the divine soul realm," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, having his heart palpitate with eagerness by Dustless''s sentence.


    After breaking through to the Deity Realm, Ye Yuan''s divine soul cultivating means were somewhat failing to make ends meet.


    The Medicine God''s Soul Canon was just an incomplete article. It could help Ye Yuan cultivate to grand completion Tier 9 but somewhat lacked the strength to carry on.


    Want to walk even further along the alchemy path, one must have a systematic divine soul cultivation method.


    In this aspect, the Soul Suppressing Pearl was clearly an expert!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help thinking of his main cultivation method.


    After reincarnating, what Ye Yuan had always been cultivating was the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art.


    In the Immortal Grove Region, the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was a pinnacle-most cultivation method and could be cultivated all the way to Origin Deity Realm.


    But to the current Ye Yuan, this cultivation method was clearly unable to satisfy his ambitions already.


    "Looks like everything has to start from scratch!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Dustless said, "Immortal Grove''s cultivation method is imprinted inside the World Suppressing Stele. His cultivation method was comprehended from the World Suppressing Stele and is one of the best cultivation methods in the Heavenspan World! If he didn''t fall, he might have been able to become a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor!"


    "Transcendent Heavenly Emperor?" Ye Yuan asked wonderingly.


    "En, Transcendent Heavenly Emperor. Actually, it''s peak Heavenly Emperor, the most powerful existence beneath Dao Ancestor! Immortal Grove''s cultivation method is sufficient for you to cultivate to becoming a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor!" Dustless explained.


    Only npw was Ye Yuan enlightened. According to Dustless''s way of saying things, the cultivation method that Immortal Grove comprehended could be said to be a top-rate cultivation method of the Heavenspan World already.


    After all, in the Heavenspan World, it was totally impossible to cultivate to the Dao Ancestor Realm.


    Achieving Transcendent Heavenly Emperor was already the greatest possibility.


    However, Ye Yuan fell silent.


    He mused for a moment and said, "Senior, you said �� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s cultivation method was comprehended from the World Suppressing Stele?"


    Dustless said with a cold smile, "Heh, your heart is also a bit too big! Reaching the Heavenspan World now, you should know the difficulties of cultivating above Deity Realm. To actually not have given up on the boundary of Dao Ancestor yet?"


    Ye Yuan asking like this, Dustless naturally knew what Ye Yuan was trying to do straight away.


    But these words were filled with mockery towards Ye Yuan, ridiculing that Ye Yuan overestimated his own ability.


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Senior, I know that reaching the Dao Ancestor Realm is as hard as ascending to heaven, but the Transcendent Heavenly Emperor Realm is utterly meaningless to me! If I want to save Lingxue, I must cultivate to the Dao Ancestor Realm. Isn''t that so?"


    But Dustless said with a cold snort, "Compared to cultivating to Dao Ancestor Realm, this old man still feels that asking a Dao Ancestor for help is a little more reliable! If you''re really able to cultivate to Transcendent Heavenly Emperor Realm, you''ll have the qualifications to ask a Dao Ancestor for help."


    But Ye Yuan said stubbornly, "This doesn''t clash with cultivating to Dao Ancestor Realm!"


    Dustless choked up and could not help being speechless.


    Only after a long time did Dustless say, "Fine then, this World Suppressing Stele was actually obtained by chance by Immortal Grove back then at the Heavenspan Mountain; incredibly marvelous! It''s akin to a limitless treasure trove. When Immortal Grove just obtained it, it was just an ordinary piece of rock. Later, Immortal Grove continuously developed it, while its grade also continued to increase. When Immortal Grove cultivated to Empyrean Realm, it was already an empyrean spirit treasure."


    Ye Yuan was also extremely surprised when he heard it. He did not expect that the World Suppressing Stele''s background was actually so great!


    The Heavenspan Mountain''s might, Ye Yuan already learned of it from Dustless and Kunwu''s mouth.


    World Suppressing Stele, turns out it was a piece of rock on the Heavenspan Mountain!


    "In this case, the World Suppressing Stele completely doesn''t need to be sanctified. It only needs to be developed continuously, and it can advance into a heavenly emperor spirit treasure?" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    Dustless said, "In theory, it''s like this!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, when Senior devours enough evil spirits, I''ll enter inside the World Suppressing Stele and comprehend my own Dao!"


    Dustless was speechless.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan, this fellow, was simply a stubborn donkey!


    Once he decided on a matter, he could not be pulled back no matter how one pulled.


    It was like this back then in the turbulent spatial flow; now, it was still like this.


    ...


    "Elder brothers, I wonder where there are more late-stage One-star evil spirits in this Yin Wind Den?"


    Ye Yuan wandered inside the Yin Wind Den for a long time and discovered that most of them here were all some mortal-grade evil spirits. Occasionally, he could run into initial-stage One-star evil spirits.


    These evil spirits were completely useless to Dustless.


    Ye Yuan discovered that this place expanded in all directions. Wanting to find late-stage One-star evil spirits was too difficult, and he could only seek help from others.


    The few people turned around. Seeing Ye Yuan''s cultivation, they could not refrain from looking at him with a gaze like looking at a fool.


    "Kid, new here, right? Your bit of strength, better wander around the outer-ring! This place is already close to the danger zone. Your bit of strength isn''t even enough to fill the crevices between the evil spirits'' teeth!" Chang Liang said.


    This group of people was precisely the Yin Wind Seven Heroes who were shot while lying down at the peripheral!


    After the seven people came in, they headed straight for the danger zone.


    The seven of them mucked around here all year round and were incomparably familiar with the Yin Wind Den.


    Whenever there were powerful evil spirits, there would be natural treasures; they had this assumption in their hearts.


    As for the Wang Family, although their strengths were powerful, they were really not familiar with this place.


    Chang Liang also did not expect that they would run into Ye Yuan here.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Elder brothers, you all should be very familiar with this place, right?"


    He saw that these few people''s gazes were very clear-cut, not like him, anyhow running around like a headless fly. He knew that these few people should be regulars of this place.


    Chang Liang''s brows furrowed and he said, "The seven of us are called the Yin Wind Seven Heroes. Do you think we''re familiar with this place or not? Kid, we still have to go search for natural treasures and have no time to be long-winded with you. If you don''t want to die, wander around this neighborhood and see if you have the luck to pick up something that was missed out or not."


    Regarding Chang Liang''s sincere advice, Ye Yuan did not take it seriously at all.


    What was important was that Chang Liang they all were familiar with this place.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Brother and the others, since you all are familiar with this place, then bring me to go find late-stage One-star evil spirits. As long as I find the place, I''ll give you all 5000 low-grade divine essence stones as commission. How''s that?"

 1326 Seven Heroes Betting

    "5000 divine essence stones!"


    Chang Liang''s gaze turned intent, and he drew a cold breath.


    To them, 5000 low-grade divine essence stones were not some small figure.


    Even though all of the members of theYin Wind Seven Heroes, their strengths were uncommon, spending as long as several years in the Yin Wind Den, the divine essence stones added up for the seven people would not exceed this sum either.


    But Ye Yuan''s opening offer was 5000 low-grade divine essence stones!


    Furthermore, it was just leading the way!


    These 5000 low-grade divine essence stones were earned too easily.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "That''s right. Here are 1000 low-grade divine essence stones, take it as a deposit. As long as you all bring me to gather up 500 late-stage One-star evil spirits, the remaining 4000 low-grade divine essence stones, I''ll pay up the sum in full."


    Ye Yuan helped the Myriad Treasure Tower create such a large profit, the Myriad Treasure Tower naturally would not treat him shabbily.


    Low-grade divine essence stones, Ye Yuan naturally took whatever he pleased.


    As long as it was not too overboard, the Myriad Treasure Tower would not say anything.


    "5-500!" Chang Liang was speechless.


    This boy was really hell-bent on shocking people to death with words!


    Over 500 late-stage One-star evil spirits, even the average grand completion Grotto Profound did not dare to easily engage head-on either.


    An initial-stage Grotto Profound kid actually dared to boast so shamelessly!


    Chang Liang suddenly felt several strange gazes coming from behind him.


    No need to turn back and he also knew that those few brothers probably had killing intent aroused!


    In this place, killing people to seize treasures was all too normal.


    Ye Yuan''s opening move was 5000 low-grade divine essence stones. The divine essence stones he was carrying on him were probably far more than this figure.


    As long as they killed Ye Yuan, then the divine essence stones on him were all theirs.


    Compared to leading the way, they were clearly more willing to clean away the divine essence stones on Ye Yuan.


    Actually, it was not just his six brothers who had killing intent aroused. Even Chang Liang himself also had killing intent aroused.


    But he, Chang Liang, was able to hang around in the Yin Wind Den for so long because he was cautious by nature.


    He could not resist glancing at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan seemed to be completely clueless about his brothers'' killing intent like he was completely fine.


    Chang Liang''s heart stirred, the temptation of divine essence stones finally overwhelmed everything.


    But, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly detected an imperceptible cold smile flashing across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    Chang Liang''s heart thumped, the words when reaching his mouth changed at the behest of supernatural powers.


    "Haha, deal! Little Brother is really generous. I, Chang Liang, will make friends with you!" Chang Liang received a thousand low-grade divine essence stones with a hearty laugh.


    Chang Liang''s words made the six brothers'' jaws drop.


    When did Boss become so easy-going?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Lead the way then!"


    Chang Liang said with a laugh, "Sure, easily arranged!"


    Following that, Chang Liang brought Ye Yuan and made many twists and turns. Indeed, before long, the evil spirits that they encountered become stronger.


    Chang Liang and the rest became cautious and on the alert one by one.


    The strongest among them, Chang Liang, was merely middle-stage Grotto Profound too.


    Encountering late-stage One-star evil spirits, there was not even time for them to run. They did not dare to approach at all.


    "Ahead is the Purple Nether Cave. That place definitely has late-stage One-star evil spirits. But, Little brother, the few of us don''t dare to go in," Chang Liang said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "You all can just wait outside the cave for me!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan entered the Purple Nether Cave without turning his head back.


    "Boss, why didn''t you make a move just now? I dare to bet that this kid has at the very least no less than 50 thousand divine essence stones on him!" Seeing Ye Yuan enter the cave, the Yin Wind Seven Heroes'' Number Seven could not resist grumbling.


    "Yeah, Boss! Normally, you aren''t so timid and cowardly! Seeing such a fat lamb, you''d have long taken action!" said Number Three.


    Chang Liang''s gaze swept over their faces and heaved a sigh as he said, "Why wouldn''t I know what you guys are thinking? I nearly made a move just now!"


    "Then why did you change your tune again? Now, he entered the Purple Nether Cave, so he''s probably already dead. For us to take the divine essence stones on him, we''d have to expend a lot of effort!" Number seven said.


    In their view, this Ye Yuan was simply a silly young master flushed with money.


    He did not know about this Yin Wind Den''s terror at all and wanted to barge into the Purple Nether Cave without due consideration. What difference was there from courting death?


    Chang Liang gave him a glance and said with a cold smile, "Do you all really think that there are so many idiots in this word? Heh heh, it''s precisely because his actions looked very foolish that I felt that this kid was not to be provoked! No idea why, when I was planning on making a move earlier, I felt my heart palpitate with anxiety and fear! Just like being locked on by a hunter!"


    Chang Liang''s words did not change the group of brothers'' views.


    Number Two also interjected, "Boss, merely an initial-stage Grotto Profound brat, is there a need to be so careful? Us seven brothers, there are already three middle-stage Grotto Profound. Could it be that we still can''t deal with a brat who''s wet behind his ears?"


    Chang Liang said coolly, "You guys just wait. I dare to wager that he can definitely come out from inside the Purple Nether Cave!"


    Number Seven said, "How is this possible? He alone probably can''t even deal with an initial-stage One-star evil spirit, can he still deal with late-stage evil spirits?"


    Number Three also said, "Yeah, Big Brother! Either way, we also earned a thousand divine essence stones for nothing! Let''s go right away! There''s no way he can come out."


    Chang Liang chuckled and said, "Dare to bet or not? I, Chang Liang, examine my own conscience and feel that I still have some knack in judging people. This kid is absolutely not simple!"


    Number Seven said, being unconvinced, "Boss, don''t you really trigger me! You say, how to bet?"


    Chang Liang smiled and said, "Let''s set three days as the limit. If that kid comes out, these 5000 divine essence stones, I''ll take 4000! If that kid doesn''t come out, these 1000 divine essence stones, I don''t want a piece and will even top you guys up a thousand divine essence stones, you all take them and split!"


    With Chang Liang saying this, the brothers all laughed.


    "Haha, Boss, since you''re so generous, then the brothers will kindly accept it! This wager, you''ll lose for sure! Don''t talk about three days, even if it''s 30 days, he can''t come out either!" Number Seven said with a loud laugh.


    "Boss, when the time comes, you can''t renege on your bet! This wager, you lost for sure!" Number Two also said with a laugh.


    "Boss, we''ve mingled around in this Yin Wind Den for so many years, when have you seen before an initial-stage Grotto Profound can come out from the Purple Nether Cave, this kind of place? What''s with you today, are you alright?" Number Three also laughed loudly and said.


    Chang Liang just smiled and said nothing. He believed in his judgment.


    He, this person, was meticulous; his vision was extremely sharp.


    It was precisely because so that he could bring the brothers and slip away from under the Wang Family''s hands.


    If it was another person, saying one sentence wrong and they would probably have to be silenced by the Wang Family to prevent divulgence of secrets.


    ...


    "Second Brother, this Yin Wind Den is so large, the terrain is extremely complicated. How do we find him?" Wang Yugan was also made dizzy by the terrain here.


    Wang Yutao said solemnly, "Find some people and ask! That kid is a new face, he''s definitely very conspicuous! I believe that for him to come here, it''s impossible to find a place with nobody to hide. As long as we ask more people, there will definitely be someone who knows!"


    Wang Yugan''s eyes lit up, and he said, "Second Brother is brilliant!"


    Wang Yutao said, "The few of you, all spread out for me. Find the local hegemons here and inquire! If somebody saw a new face, you must inquire clearly. Understand?"

 1327 Ghost King Cave

    "Big Brother, us brothers all save you a bit of face. This wager, shall we call it off? Waiting here is so boring, that kid definitely can''t come out," Number Seven said.


    "Yeah, I say, what''s going on with Big Brother today? Normally, you aren''t like this!" Number Three also urged.


    Facing the group of brothers'' persuasion, Chang Liang smiled without expressing approval nor disapproval and just said, "It''s just been half a day, and you guys can''t wait anymore?"


    "Heh, Big Brother, we''re saving face for you here!" Number Seven said.


    Chang Liang smiled and said, "Please don''t save face for me! Even reckoning makes for long friends for us blood brothers. Since this wager was set, then let''s continue all the way."


    At this time, a voice sounded out by everyone''s ears like a ghost.


    "What are you guys betting on?"


    Everyone turned around to look, their eyeballs immediately staring wide-open one by one.


    The one who spoke was precisely Ye Yuan!


    "W-W-Why �� did you come out? No, wait, how did you come out?" Number Seven''s tongue instantly became unable to straighten.


    The six brothers all had expressions like they had seen a ghost, sizing Ye Yuan up and down.


    After that, they discovered that Ye Yuan''s condition could not be any better, just like there were no evil spirits inside the Purple Nether Cave at all.


    Not just the six brothers, even Chang Liang was dumbfounded too.


    He sensed that Ye Yuan was rather extraordinary, but he also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually only used half a day and came out.


    Him saying three days'' time was already overestimating Ye Yuan.


    He did not think that three days were too long for Ye Yuan!


    The moment Ye Yuan heard Number Seven''s words, he could not help being tickled. "What are you saying? Of course I walked out. Or could it be that those evil spirits carried me out?"


    "But �� But �� there are quite a number of late-stage One-star evil spirits in the Purple Nether Cave!" Number Seven said with an amazed look.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, there are indeed some late-stage One-star evil spirits in here. But the numbers were still too little. I wandered around for half a day and only ran into seven or eight. There''s still a long way from the total of 500! Are there places with even more? Bring me to go take a look."


    Chang Liang was startled and hurriedly said, "Have! Of course there are! I''ll bring you!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed behind Chang Liang.


    The group of people headed even deeper into the Yin Wind Den.


    The deeper in, the more the evil spirits they encountered. Furthermore, the more powerful.


    But Ye Yuan''s performance made their jaws drop.


    Evil spirits that the seven of them could only finish off after exhausting their strength, Ye Yuan seemed to be like catching a chicken, grabbing with one hand.


    Then, lightly pinching, it shattered!


    The Yin Wind Seven Heroes had mingled around the Yin Wind Den for many years. There had never been anyone who killed evil spirits like this.


    Only at this time did the other six people believe how terrifying Ye Yuan''s strength was.


    Finally, the seven people escorted Ye Yuan to a second cave before the few people found a chance to talk.


    Number Seven scooted in front of Chang Liang and wiped away his cold sweat as he said, "Luckily, Big Brother is wise. Otherwise �� we''d probably already be like those evil spirits, pinched to death by him!"


    Chang Liang also felt lingering fear. If they really made a move previously, they, the Yin Wind Seven Heroes, would probably have their names completely struck off the list today.


    Of course, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to crush them to death like crushing the evil spirits.


    For him to be able to easily deal with the evil spirits, that was all Dustless''s credit.


    But Ye Yuan''s method of killing evil spirits made their hairs stand on end.


    The feeling that this kind of visual impact gave them was that Ye Yuan was very strong.


    Very powerful!


    Chang Liang also had a bitter look as he said, "Honestly speaking, I also didn''t expect that his strength was actually so great!"


    "Could it be that this guy concealed his strength? An initial-stage Grotto Profound guy, how can he possibly be so strong?" Number Two said.


    Chang Liang shook his head and said, "That, I don''t know! Either way, we just have to earn these 5000 low-grade divine essence stones, and it will do. The rest, better don''t be busybodies! Oh, right, the matter of wagering, this brother won''t be courteous!"


    Talking to the back, Chang Liang had a bright grin.


    With this, he made a killing!


    4000 low-grade divine essence stones were not a small sum to them.


    Deducting the normal expenditures, for Chang Liang to want to earn this sum of money, he needed at least three to five years!


    Seeing the smug expression on Chang Liang''s face, the other six people felt as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    A cooked duck flew away just like this!


    5000 low-grade divine essence stones, originally, each of them could be distributed 700 plus.


    But now, the six of them could only split the remainder 1000 pieces.


    A big loss!


    "Heh, don''t all have this expression, one must be willing to lose if they bet! Don''t say that I, boss, am not righteous, I''ll take another step back and only take 3000. The remainder 2000, you guys take and split!" Chang Liang said.


    With this, everyone could not help being overjoyed, all thanking Chang Liang profusely.


    Chang Liang''s thinking was more full of schemes compared to his other six brothers.


    Giving 1000 more pieces of divine essence stone could make the six brothers submit more wholeheartedly. This transaction was too worthwhile.


    ...


    Another half a day''s time passed, and then Ye Yuan came out of this cave.


    Except, he just devoured around ten evil spirits this time as well.


    Ye Yuan was very dissatisfied with this number and said to Chang Liang after coming out, "Too few! Are there caves with more? Best if there''s several dozen or a hundred at once, that kind!"


    Chang Liang was secretly dumbfounded. He seriously could not figure out how an initial-stage Grotto Profound rookie dealt with those late-stage One-star evil spirits.


    But he still said, "Have is have, it''s just that the place is a little too dangerous. The few of us brothers �� don''t dare to go!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "No worries, you all just have to bring me there! At that time, I''ll clean up the evil spirits around the cave. That way, you guys will be safe. As for the deposit, I''ll add another 2000!"


    Money could make the Devil push the millstone for you. Chang Liang and the rest braving all kinds of danger in this Yin Wind Den, wasn''t it still because of divine essence stones in the end?


    Ye Yuan giving such a large sum, how could they not be moved?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan said that he would clean up the evil spirits in the perimeter. This way, they would have no more worries.


    Chang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Done! Around 1000 miles down, there''s a Ghost King Cave. Not only are there many evil spirits there, but they are also very powerful! After Your Excellency goes in, make sure not to enter too deep, because there is a grand completion One-star evil spirits inside there! Legends have it that in the Ghost King Cave''s depths, there''s even a Two-star evil spirit. It''s just that no one has ever seen it before!"


    Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked when he heard that. If he really wanted to do this, then he would really have to be a little more careful.


    Grand completion One-star evil spirit could still barely manage to deal with. But Two-star evil spirit, Dustless was still powerful to handle one currently.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Mm, many thanks for the reminder, I''ll be careful!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan respond with a stern countenance, Chang Liang judged that grand completion One-star might be Ye Yuan''s limit.


    But this result was already sufficient for him to be astonished.


    They left Ye Yuan into the Ghost King Cave and waited outside themselves.


    But they did not expect that at this time, over ten figures suddenly dashed in from all directions, directly surrounding the seven of them in the center!


    "Huhu, searched for you all so bitterly! Didn''t expect that you guys and that Ye Yuan punk are actually accomplices! The spectroscope breaking, this score, we''ll have to settle it properly!" Wang Yutao''s killing intent filled words transmitted into the Yin Wind Seven Heroes'' ears.

 1328 Catching Turtles in a Po

    The appearance of Wang Tutao and the rest caught the Yin Wind Seven Heroes by surprise. They were stunned too.


    But Chang Liang reacted extremely quickly, understanding what was going on virtually right away.


    At the same time, he could not help being secretly alarmed.


    Wasn''t it said that the Myriad Treasure Tower''s alchemist was a cripple who could not cultivate? How could he have such formidable strength?


    The current Chang Liang already ascertained that that youth who entered the Ghost King Cave was precisely the Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. It was Ye Yuan!


    "This lord, this Chang doesn''t understand what you mean? If this Chang has the capability to destroy the spectroscope, then I also wouldn''t need to strive in this Yin Wind Den all year round!" Chang Liang said with cupped fists.


    His mind flashed like lightning and knew that only by refusing to admit even unto death at present could he have a slim chance of survival.


    In reality, he really did not expect that Ye Yuan was the person the Wang Family was looking for.


    But Wang Yutao sneered coldly when he heard that and said, "You don''t need to quibble anymore. I only believe the truth I see with my eyes! We''ve already inquired clearly. After that punk entered the Yin Wind Den, it has always been you guys leading the way for him. Just based on this point, you all deserve death!"


    Chang Liang groaned in secret, but his expression was in a daze as he said, "Your Excellency, this lowly one really doesn''t know what you''re talking about! There was a youth who offered 7000 pieces of divine essence stones to have us lead the way. But �� this Chang also didn''t know that that was the person Your Excellency wanted to find!"


    Wang Yutao said coldly, "No matter how glib your tongue, helping that boy is also a fact! Come, men, take them down for me! If there is resistance, capture and immediately execute!"


    Wang Yutao''s words thoroughly extinguished the last trace of Chang Liang''s hope for a fluke.


    His expression changed, and he said gravely, "Brothers, enter the cave!"


    At this time, the other three sides were all blocked off. The Ghost King Cave at the back was the only retreat path.


    The figures of Chang Liang, the seven of them, were like lightning, speeding over towards the Ghost King Cave.


    Seeing this, Wang Yutao snorted coldly. Raising his hand, it was a palm!


    "A bunch of people who have no idea of life or death!"


    Powerful divine essence instantly exploded. A terrifying air billow swept over towards the seven people.


    Chang Liang revealed a horrified look and cried out, "Brothers, you all go in!"


    He unleashed all of his strength in this lifetime, wanting to deal with Wang Yutao''s blow.


    However, this was merely an ant trying to topple a tree!


    Facing the grand completion Grotto Profound Wang Yutao, Chang Liang did not have the least bit of strength to resist.


    However, Chang Liang already made the resolve to die. He wanted to protect his brothers to enter the cave!


    Although the ''Yin Wind Seven Heroes'' were not some good people, when facing such an imminent disaster, adversity tests friendship.


    Boss Chang Liang blocked the spear for his brothers without the slightest hesitation!


    But right at this time, two figures suddenly dashed out, covering up Chang Liang''s profile.


    "Big Brother, live well and take revenge for us!"


    It was Number Three and Number Seven!


    Chang Liang''s eyes turned bloodshot, his two eyes scarlet-red.


    But Wang Yutao''s palm-force already arrived. Even if he wanted to do something, it was too late as well!


    Boom!


    An enormous force directly blasted Number Three and Number Seven, together with Chang Liang, flying.


    However, the majority of the force was blocked by Number Three and Number Seven.


    Chang Liang vomited a mouthful of fresh blood with a ''wah.'' Number Three and Number Seven beside him had long ceased breathing already.


    Chang Liang was very decisive. He knew that now was not the time to be irresolute and hesitant. Forcefully crawling up, he headed over towards the Ghost King Cave.


    Although this palm of Wang Yutao killed Number Three and Number Seven, Chang Liang also borrowed the force of this palm and arrived at the Ghost King Cave''s entrance.


    His figure speed, burrowing straight into the cave.


    "Second Brother, what do we do now?" Wang Yugan asked.


    "What else can we do? Go in and capture the people! Right now, we''re catching turtles in a pot!" Wang Yutao said without the least bit of hesitation.


    At this time, a martial artist said rather fearfully, "Y-Your Excellency, this place is the Ghost King Cave!"


    This martial artist was the guide that the Wang Family found.


    Wang Yutao''s face fell, and he said, "So what if it''s the Ghost King Cave?"


    The guide said, "The Ghost King Cave is the most dangerous place in the Yin Wind Den, the evil spirits inside too many to count. Furthermore, the Ghost King Cave''s depths might have Two-star evil spirits existing! Once we startle the Two-star evil spirit, none of us can escape!"


    Wang Yutao''s expression also turned apprehensive when he heard that, but he became relieved very quickly and said with a cold snort, "What about that? I don''t believe that that brat dares to enter the depths of the Ghost King Cave! Go!"


    That guide was helpless and could only enter the Ghost King Cave.


    ...


    Chang Liang five people had also never entered the Ghost King Cave before. This place was all human martial artists'' forbidden area.


    So after entering, Chang Liang five people ran wildly without distinguishing the direction at all.


    But what made them surprised was that along the way, they actually did not even encounter a single evil spirit!


    No idea how long they ran either, they suddenly saw that there was a figure ahead, currently sitting cross-legged.


    "Big Brother, it �� it''s that kid!"


    "If not for this boy, Number Three and Number Seven wouldn''t have died either! This score, we have to find him to settle it properly!"


    "Big Brother, kill this kid! Take revenge for Number Three and Number Seven!"


    These few people were almost in tears when talking. Clearly, the death of Number Three and Number Seven, they were all unable to accept it.


    They knew that they were forever not Wang Yutao''s match. Therefore, they cast the anger onto Ye Yuan.


    Chang Liang''s injuries were not light. Currently, he was forcefully holding onto a breath.


    Seeing the appearance of his group of brothers filled with righteous indignation, Chang Liang''s expression was also ugly to the extreme.


    "Brothers, every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt its debtor! Number Three and Number Sevenwere killed by Wang Yutao. Want to settle this score, we also have to settle it with them! Us and Master Ye only did a transaction. Putting this score on his head isn''t fair!" Chang Liang said.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chang Liang with some surprise, and slowly opened his mouth to say, "The Wang Family being so utterly devoid of conscious exceeded my expectations. But, the one who caused the deaths of Number Three and Number Seven wasn''t me, but yourselves! If you all want to count this score on this Ye''s head, this Ye will keep you company!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the few people explode all at once.


    "We caused the death of Number Three and Number Seven? Brat, you don''t make unfounded accusations!"


    "Don''t think that by killing a few evil spirits, you can scare us! You''re merely a puny little initial-stage Grotto Profound, I don''t believe that you''re really us brothers'' match!"


    Chang Liang''s expression was incomparably ugly. Ye Yuan''s words made him regret to the max!


    But they heard Ye Yuan saying indifferently, "The seven of you, each and every one of you had killing intent aroused towards this Ye before! Putting it bluntly, you''re all just a bunch of robbers who murder and seize goods! If not because of this, perhaps this young master would have made a move to save previously, and even brought you all into the Ghost King Cave."


    Ye Yuan''s words made Chang Liang five people shocked inwardly.


    Turns out that their killing intent, Ye Yuan had long perceived it keenly. It was just that he did not expose it all along!


    Now, Number Three and Number Seven died. It was a retribution for them having killing intent aroused!


    Not that they did not wish to kill Ye Yuan, it was just that Chang Liang detected the danger. That was why they did not make a move.


    Hence, Ye Yuan had no need to be responsible for their life and death.


    Between them was merely just a transaction.


    "Also, if not looking on account of your brotherly affection, do you guys think that �� you can still live to see this young master?" Ye Yuan said coolly.

 1329 Fatal Encirclement!

    "Your Excellency, something seems to be not quite right! This Ghost King Cave �� is too quiet!" The guide''s expression was not too good as he said.


    Wang Yutao''s face fell, and he said, "Enough crap! You just have to care about leading the way! I don''t believe that the kid can still overturn the heavens!"


    No need the guide to warn, how could Wang Yutao not know that something was amiss.


    They had always been on guard after entering the Ghost King Cave. But along the way, they did not even run into a single evil spirit.


    Since the Ghost King Cave was one of the Yin Wind Den''s most dangerous places, then there should be a lot of evil spirits.


    Wang Yugan also felt all the hairs on his body stand on end as he could not resist saying, "Second Brother, it''s better to withdraw! As long as we guard the entrance, will we still be afraid that the kid doesn''t come out?"


    Wang Yugan''s suggestion made Wang Yutao palpitate with excitement as well.


    "If he risks his life and just hole up inside here and not go out?" Wang Yutao asked.


    The moment the guide heard that Wang Yutao was moved, he hurriedly said, "Impossible! Even grand completion Grotto Profound powerhouse can only last at most a year here. Any longer, the Yin energy here will corrode the fleshy body and cause tremendous damage to the physical body. If mild, it will damage the Martial Dao foundation. If severe, one will become a Yin corpse!"


    Wang Yutao''s expression changed, not expecting that this Yin Wind Den still had so many things to pay attention to.


    Since it was like this, he could rest assured.


    "Okay, we''ll withdraw!" Wang Yutao''s heart was also somewhat pounding as he said.


    But just as they turned around and were about to withdraw, Yin wind suddenly stirred up.


    Woo! Woo!


    All around, no idea where heaps of evil spirits emerged from either, all late-stage One-star!


    Looking at the numbers, there were probably no less than a thousand!


    Such a scale of evil spirits, even Wang Yutao, this kind of powerhouse, felt his scalp tingle too.


    Although grand completion Grotto Profound could casually crush late-stage Grotto Profound, it was not to say that grand completion Grotto Profound was invincible.


    Evil spirits were more difficult to tangle with in the first place for martial artists.


    With over one thousand evil spirits jumping out all at once, even if Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan joined hands, they also did not dare say to be able to retreat unscathed.


    "This �� What''s going on here? Where in the world did these evil spirits emerge from?"


    "Second Elder, w-what should we do?"


    "So many late-stage One-star evil spirits, we''re dead for sure this time!"


    ...


    The faces of these Wang Family second generation powerhouses all turned green.


    An aura of despair was spreading among them.


    One late-stage One-star evil spirit was already enough for them to suffer. A thousand appearing all at once, how could they not despair?


    "All shut up for me! Shouting and wrangling, can it scare away these evil spirits? All follow this old man, kill the way out together!"


    Wang Yutao still had overwhelming prestige. This shout instantly calmed the Wang Family''s people.


    At the same time, he raised his long spear. A terrifying force struck toward the evil spirits ahead.


    "Howl! Howl!"


    Miserable cries lingered incessantly by the ears. Late-stage One-star evil spirits were still a little too tender in front of Wang Yutao.


    Except, not only did Wang Yutao''s overwhelming blow not frighten away the evil spirits, it made those evil spirits even more crazed instead, pouncing over at the crowd.


    "Yugan, you cover the rear, I''ll open up the path in front! The others, take precautions on your own. Don''t let those evil spirits break in!"


    Wang Yutao had clearly seen a grand spectacle before. Although alarmed, he did not panic, commanding with great composure.


    He and Wang Yugan, two great experts, protected the team one front and one back. The other people''s pressure lessened drastically all at once.


    However, the number of evil spirits was seriously too many. Furthermore, each and every one of them was ferocious and did not fear death. They just did all they could to bite.


    Very soon, there was somebody who could not hold on anymore.


    "ARGH!!"


    A Wang Family''s guard whose strength was slightly weaker was suddenly brought down by four or five evil spirits.


    The evil spirits were seemingly sharks that smelled the scent of blood. Around 20 to 30 evil spirits instantly drowned him out entirely.


    Before long, that guard ceased breathing.


    His divine soul was already divided and eaten by the evil spirits.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them felt a chill.


    Maybe this was their outcome not long after!


    Those evil spirits tasting the benefits, only tussled with Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan, while the focus of the attacks was placed on those Wang Family members in the center.


    Very soon, there was another Wang Family''s member who was taken down.


    "Lingqiu!"


    Wang Yutao''s gaze turned bloodshot from anger. That person who died was his biological nephew.


    Before coming, he never dreamed that employing the Wang Family''s power to come and hunt down an initial-stage Grotto Profound brat, he would actually pay such a terrible price.


    Except, sad was sad. He was completely powerless about the reduction in numbers when battling.


    A hundred evil spirits pestered him. Even if his strength was any greater, he was too busy to care as well.


    A single mishap and he would even stumble himself.


    Two late-stage Grotto Profound experts defending, this group of people gradually approached the cave entrance.


    It was just that miserable cries echoed incessantly in Wang Yutao''s ears.


    His heart was dripping blood!


    "Kill!"


    A terrifying charge, Wang Yutao finally forcefully carved out a bloody path, charging out of the Ghost King Cave.


    The current Wang Yutao''s eyes were blood-red, already unbelievably furious.


    One figure after another charged out. Finally, Wang Yugan also came out in the end.


    Boom!


    The evil spirits did not have the intention of letting these people off. Large groups rushed out of the Ghost King Cave and continued to hunt down everyone.


    Wang Yutao was aggrieved to the extreme and could only lead everyone to continue fleeing.


    No idea how long they chased them either, there were finally no more evil spirits behind them. Everyone was all seemingly drained of energy, plopping down onto the ground, panting heavily for air.


    Wang Yutao swept a glance over the remaining people, the joints of his fingers cracking.


    When they went in, counting in the guide, they brought a total of 17 people!


    But now, counting in him and Wang Yugan, there were only five people left!


    This in and out actually forcefully incapacitated 12 people!


    Apart from the guide, those Wang Family''s people were all the Wang Family''s elites.


    Quite a number of people were all Wang Yutao''s sons and nephew generation.


    Among them, the majority were all late-stage Grotto Profound powerhouses. There were even a few who were middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    This trip directly cut the Wang Family''s elites by half!


    "Ye Yuan, if I don''t avenge this grudge, I, Wang Yutao, am lesser than a human! This old man swears an oath to heaven that I must cut you down in this Yin Wind Den!"


    Wang Yutao''s eyes were blood-red, gnashing his teeth in hatred, already hating Ye Yuan to the max.


    He naturally would not think that it was actually them pursuing Ye Yuan all along.


    Either way, others killing the Wang Family''s members, that was all the other person''s fault.


    ...


    Inside the Ghost King Cave, Chang Liang five brothers were long dumbstruck with amazement already.


    They exchanged glances, all with an expression like they had seen a ghost.


    "B-Big Brother, what did we see just now? O-Our eyesight wouldn''t be failing, right?"


    "How did he do it? Those �� Those were a thousand late-stage One-star evil spirits! He �� He''s actually able to command late-stage One-star evil spirits!"


    Chang Liang looked at the Ye Yuan currently in meditation, his gaze full of deep apprehension!


    Only this time, did they witness Ye Yuan''s true strength!


    For Ye Yuan to want to kill them, it was truly as easy as turning his palm over!

 1330 Two-star Evil Spirit!

    "Y-Your Excellency, previously, we have affronted. Your Excellency, please don''t take offense!" Chang Liang cupped his fists and said respectfully.


    His back was already drenched in cold sweat, feeling palpitations of lingering fear and rejoicing in his heart.


    Fortunately, he did not become enemies with Ye Yuan. Otherwise, the seven of them brothers, the ones who died would not be just Number Three and Number Seven.


    When a thousand late-stage One-star evil spirits besieged Wang Yutao they all, Chang Liang was watching from outside.


    That spectacular scene made it hard to forget all his life.


    Forget about it happening to Wang Yutao, even Chang Liang, this spectator, felt his scalp tingle.


    But seeing the Wang Family''s people fall one by one, Chang Liang was incomparably delighted in his heart.


    The Wang Family''s people were too overbearing, killing two of his brothers indiscriminately. Served them right to have this kind of end.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and said nonchalantly, "Not to the extent of taking offense, but as long as you guys don''t provoke this young master, this young master naturally won''t go and find trouble with you all. Originally, I wanted to let you all run your own course without external interference, but seeing the feelings between you brothers run so deep, willing to help each other at the expense of your life, that''s why I made a move."


    Dustless had constantly been monitoring every movement and action in the vicinity. The things that happened outside the Ghost King Cave could not hide from him at all.


    Originally thought that the Yin Wind Seven Heroes, these greedy fellows, the feelings between the brothers were probably just like that.


    But he did not expect that Chang Liang, as well as Number Three and Number Seven, were actually so loyal.


    Ye Yuan felt a spur of the moment. That was why he let them in.


    After Dustless absorbed some evil spirits, his condition improved considerably all at once.


    His methods also made Ye Yuan secretly dumbfounded.


    Dustless simulated the undulations of a grand completion One-star evil spirit with a secret at, commanding these late-stage One-star evil spirits to besiege the Wang Family''s people.


    To a late-stage One-star evil spirit, a grand completion One-star evil spirit was an absolute sovereign!


    One-star evil spirits did not have any intelligence. They acted entirely based on their own instincts.


    Hence, as long as Wang Yutao they all dared to enter the Ghost King Cave, that outcome would absolutely be miserable.


    "Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency. Previously, the few of us were committing stupidity! The Wang Family is too strong, the few of us brothers don''t have hopes of taking revenge at all, that''s why we would divert the hatred onto you! Hope that Your Excellency pardons it!" Chang Liang said.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, "Honestly speaking, I also didn''t think that the Wang Family would be so utterly devoid of consciousness. Just because you guys were a guide for me, they vented their anger on you all. But the Wang Family, this young master will certainly purge their names from Jewelhill City! If the few of you follow me, there will come a chance to take revenge for your brothers in the future."


    Chang Liang''s eyes lit up, and he said joyfully, "For Your Excellency to be willing to take us in, it''s our honor! The few of us brothers are willing to dash our brains onto the ground and follow Your Excellency to death!"


    Chang Liang signaled his brothers with a look and prostrated.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "En, you guys following this young master, this young master naturally won''t dispense with your benefits. It''s just that, this young master can''t tolerate any mistakes and transgressions. If you all still want to have any filthy ideas like before, don''t blame this young master for being ruthless!"


    Chang Liang was alarmed and hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not! The death of Number Three and Number Seven taught this Chang a profound level! Currently, this Chang''s only wish is to personally kill Wang Yutao that bastard and take revenge for Number Three and Number Seven!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to open his mouth and speak when suddenly, his expression turned grim.


    Chang Liang''s expression changed as well, It was as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake.


    Around them, a series of powerful auras emerged, surrounding the six of them in the middle.


    "Grand completion One-star evil spirits! Your Excellency, this �� What to do here?" Chang Liang exclaimed.


    The great battle previously finally still startled these powerful existences!


    Same as human martial artists, grand completion One-star, this level of evil spirits, were not easy to deal with.


    Suddenly, a strange vortex storm spread out with Ye Yuan as the center.


    Those late-stage One-star evil spirits were involuntarily sucked into the vortex, finally being absorbed by Ye Yuan!


    A thousand late-stage One-star evil spirits did not have the slightest bit of resistance, directly becoming Dustless'' food.


    Seeing this scene, the eyes of Chang Liang and the rest stared like wide-saucers.


    While controlling a thousand evil spirits was beyond comprehension, Ye Yuan actually devoured a thousand evil spirits. This was seriously too terrifying.


    He �� Wasn''t he afraid of stuffing himself to death?


    Chang Liang and the rest had run around here for no less than several hundred years. But they had never seen before someone who dared to deal with evil spirits in this way.


    Ordinary martial artists, even grand completion Grotto Profound martial artists, did not dare to devour an evil spirit either!


    Chang Liang swallowed his saliva, discovering that this lord was truly too mysterious.


    The Wang Family definitely went soft in the head, that was why they provoked such a terrifying foe.


    Somehow, Chang Liang suddenly was somewhat sympathetic for Wang Yutao.


    At present, the surroundings had roughly 20 to 30 grand completion One-star evil spirits. These ferocious-looking evil spirits were actually incomparably wary of Ye Yuan at this time.


    Even though they surrounded everyone, all of them were fearful and did not go forward.


    These evil spirits all did not have intelligence. But it was precisely because so that they could faintly perceive the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s terror.


    This kind of instinctive dread made them not dare to go forward.


    Myriad things in the world reinforce and counteract each other. Evil spirits were extremely powerful existences to human martial artists.


    But the Soul Suppressing Pearl was their nemesis!


    Only after seeing this scene did Chang Liang finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he was incredibly shocked too.


    In this Yin Wind Den, human martial artists all made detours when seeing evil spirits.


    But today, he actually saw evil spirits feeling fear towards humans.


    Chang Liang felt that the events that happened today simply subverted his world view!


    Seeing Ye Yuan slowly open both eyes, Chang Liang could not resist asking, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"


    Ye Yuan ignored Chang Liang, but his gaze turned towards the depths of the cave.


    The depth was a stretch of darkness, unable to see anything.


    "Since you came, why hide furtively?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Chang Liang and the rest were stupefied, with baffled looks on their faces.


    Didn''t late-stage One-star evil spirits already come out? Could it be that there were still others here?


    Just as they were wondering, a ghostly light emerged from the depths of the darkness.


    A figure slowly walked out from the darkness.


    Right away, when this person came out, Chang Liang five people all palpitated endlessly.


    The powerful aura made them unable to move even a muscle!


    This person was too strong!


    With his strength, wanting to kill the five of them could probably be accomplished with a wave of a hand!


    How could there be such a powerful existence in the Ghost King Cave?


    The arrival was a man, looking elegant and suave, like a fine and handsome young master.


    This figure was not much different from ordinary people. But looking closely, one could discover that his body was somewhat illusionary, appearing not so real.


    "You, human, are rather special!" the man said with a smile.


    Hearing the meaning in his words, he was actually not a human!


    Facing this man''s powerful aura, Ye Yuan seemed to be completely fine.


    Hearing that, he also smiled and said, "I also didn''t expect that inside this Ghost King Cave, there''s really a Two-star evil spirit! Also, O didn''t think that a Two-star evil spirit was actually as refined as you!"

 1331 Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!

    "T-Two-star evil spirit?"


    The faces of Chang Liang and the others suddenly changed, their gazes looking at that man in great terror.


    Although legends had it that there was a Two-star evil spirit existing in this Yin Wind Den, no one had ever seen it before.


    They never dreamed that this man in front of them who was no different from a human was actually the Two-star evil spirit!


    Less than one in ten thousand ordinary Two-star evil spirits were able to unlock intelligence.


    What they had was just instinctive devouring.


    Toward such a Two-star evil spirit, Dustless was really powerless to do anything. Because they could only slaughter instinctively.


    But even Dustless also did not expect that the Two-star evil spirit in this Ghost King Cave actually gave birth to intelligence.


    The man did not deny it either but said, "There is �� an aura that makes me very wary on you!"


    Actually, Ye Yuan was also very surprised. He also thought that evil spirits were all that sort of neither human nor ghost appearance; malicious-looking.


    He did not think that Two-star evil spirits actually turned out to be like this.


    Moreover, the other party''s perception seemed to be very keen.


    Chang Liang''s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with a face full of terror.


    He simply did not dare to believe that a Two-star evil spirit would actually say such words!


    One could say that if a Two-star evil spirit wanted to kill them, it just needed to move a finger, and it would be enough.


    But facing the Ye Yuan who was only initial-stage Grotto Profound, he was actually so apprehensive!


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Middle-stage Two-star, strength isn''t bad! I didn''t expect that your intelligence can unlock to this extent. That saved me a bout of trouble."


    Chang Liang was shuddering with fear, listening by the side, wishing to turn tail and run.


    This Ye Yuan was too crazy!


    That was a Two-star evil spirit, Ye Yuan actually dared to talk like this.


    Hang on, middle-stage Two-star?


    Chang Liang felt incomparably flustered, what the hell was this?!


    Within the Grotto Profound Realm, a minor realm was a layer of heaven. Then Heaven Glimpse Realm was naturally even more so!


    The disparity between initial-stage and middle-stage was even greater!


    Also, how did Ye Yuan able to tell that the other party was a Two-star evil spirit?


    The amount of information was too great. The five of them brothers felt somewhat unable to digest.


    But the man said, "How do you know �� I won''t make a move against you? You''re �� too weak!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If your intelligence isn''t unlocked yet, then forget it. Naturally we can''t dispense with a fierce battle between us. But since your intelligence is already unlocked, then you don''t have to a move against this young master."


    Ye Yuan said it very assuredly and did not take the man''s threat to heart at all.


    For him to dare say so, it was naturally because there was Dustless, this great divinity, there.


    The might of an empyrean spirit treasure, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.


    Even though Dustless was a tiger that landed in the plains now, for the other party to want to kill Ye Yuan, it was likely really not so easy.


    The man smiled and said, "Your esteemed self is too confident! For me to kill you is merely the effort of lifting a finger!"


    Finished talking, a terrifying Yin energy was suddenly released, locking onto Ye Yuan firmly.


    It was just that, Ye Yuan did not feel anything, but Chang Liang five people were virtually frozen stiff already.


    They discovered to their dismay that they could not even move a finger anymore.


    This Two-star evil spirit had yet to make a move, and they already fell down!


    A surge of faintly imperceptible aura enveloped Ye Yuan up.


    The Yin wind automatically divided when it arrived in front of Ye Yuan, blowing past towards the two sides.


    The man''s pupils shrunk. Only then did he ascertain that Ye Yuan was indeed not simple!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Don''t do this kind of pointless probing anymore. It''s no use. This young master gives you a chance. Sign a Heavenly Dao Contract and serve me as your master. This young master gifts you a lucky chance!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan came before Chang Liang five people, extended a finger, and lightly tapped on the five of their foreheads.


    A burst of faint soul force undulation flowed out from his fingertips, instantly spreading through the five of their bodies.


    The five people trembled all over. That stiff feeling of being frozen to the bones instantly vanished without a trace.


    However, what they were shocked by was not this, but the words that Ye Yuan said!


    These words were too earth-shattering, resulting in that even though the five people were able to move, they still opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan blankly.


    What did he say earlier?


    Make a Two-star evil spirit that unlocked intelligence serve him as Master? His Excellency �� he wouldn''t have eaten the wrong medicine, right?


    The man was also stupefied and immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, "What a joke! An initial-stage Grotto Profound youth actually dares to spout this kind of drivel! Is your esteemed self provoking my bottom line?"


    The rankings of the martial artist world were stringent. Ye Yuan''s realm was too low, saying these words was a great disrespect.


    Even if they had no ill-feelings or enmity, just based on this sentence, the other party had sufficient reason to kill already.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and suddenly extended a finger, drawing something in the air.


    Chang Liang and the rest were uncertain what it meant, completely unaware of what strange ideas Ye Yuan was mystifying.


    It looked like some sort of talismans.


    He could not help looking in the direction of the man and discovered that the expression on the man''s face was currently changing from disdain to thunderstruck, and finally, wild ecstasy!


    Only then did they know that these incomprehensible talismans that Ye Yuan drew were very extraordinary.


    "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes! What �� What you drew was the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!" The man''s words were full of shock.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Huhu, it looks like you recognize the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, it saves this young master his breath."


    The man trembled all over and said in disbelief, "You �� How can you, a human, possibly know the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "How this young master knows, don''t need you to be concerned with. You just say whether you''re willing to follow this young master or not. Don''t have any strange ideas, you only have one chance."


    The man''s gaze turned intent, a look of struggle surfacing on his face.


    Ye Yuan''s warning made him become very conflicted.


    To an evil spirit, for them to be able to leach within a martial artist''s body, it was equivalent to seizing possession, but also not the same as seizing possession.


    Because they were an independent body and did not need to rely on the fleshy body to survive.


    The strange idea that Ye Yuan said was actually referring to this.


    What flashed across at the first moment just now was indeed this thought.


    But Ye Yuan''s words shattered his fantasy into smithereens.


    If it were others, he would seize possession without the slightest hesitation and forcefully plunder the other party''s memories.


    But Ye Yuan was unusual.


    From the very beginning, Ye Yuan gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    The aura that the Soul Suppressing Pearl faintly revealed made him extremely wary.


    At one side, Chang Liang five people did not even dare to breathe loudly. They were quietly waiting for the man''s decision.


    They never dreamed that Ye Yuan''s words were actually really going to subdue a Two-star evil spirit!


    At least, the other party was moved!


    This lord was really becoming more and more mysterious. Just what kind of existence was he?


    Alchemy strength was exceedingly terrifying, Martial Dao''s strength unfathomable. Now, he was actually going to subdue a Two-star evil spirit.


    Chang Liang felt that this world was really too crazy.


    Everything he had seen and heard today was simply even more exciting that his lifetime experiences added up.


    Time slowly trickled by, and the expression on the man''s face flickered incessantly.


    Ye Yuan did not urge either, just quietly waiting for the other party''s answer.


    He had full confidence that the other party definitely could not resist the temptation of the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes.


    "Alright then, I promise you!" Finally, the man opened his mouth and surrendered.

 1332 Casually Trampling

    The moment the contract happened, an inexplicable connection was established between Ye Yuan and the man.


    "Gui Yun has met Master!" said the Two-star evil spirit in submission.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "En, the function of the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, I believe there''s no need for me to say anymore. You just work for this young master contentedly, and I''ll slowly impart them to you. If you can comprehend fully, becoming a Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperor isn''t impossible either!"


    Gui Yun revealed a look of great elation and hurriedly said, "Gui Yun thanks Master!"


    "Alright, I''ll take you into my carry-on space right now. You don''t resist it," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Having some spatial-type magic treasure on a Deity Realm powerhouse was very normal. It was not to the extent of making Chang Liang and the rest overly surprised.


    Gui Yun did not feel anything off as well. It was just that when his figure appeared in the Soul Suppressing Space, he immediately felt the extraordinariness!


    When he saw Dustless, that feeling of beholding a great mountain appeared uncontrollably.


    "Huhu, little ghost, your luck is pretty good! To be able to give birth to intelligence when at Two-star, and even ran into this old man, perhaps you''ll be the next Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperor!" Dustless said with a smile.


    The dignified Two-star evil spirit became a little ghost when it reached Dustless''s mouth.


    "S-Senior, you are?" Gui Yun said carefully.


    Dustless smiled and said, "This old man is Dustless, same as you, serving Ye Yuan as my master!"


    Gui Yun suddenly discovered that his apprehension toward Ye Yuan probably originated from this old man.


    "Senior Dustless, what is this place? Why do I feel that this place is very unusual?" Gui Yun said.


    "This place is the inner-space of an empyrean spirit treasure, this old man is this place''s artifact spirit. In the future, you''ll live here together with this old man. As long as Ye Yuan allows it, this old man will naturally impart you the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!" Dustless said.


    Gui Yun''s mind buzzed as if being struck by a bolt of lightning, turning blank.


    "S-Senior, you �� you''re saying that �� this place is �� an empyrean spirit treasure?" Gui Yun''s tongue could not even be straightened when speaking.


    The astonishment that Dustless''s words brought him was seriously too intense.


    This news was even more shocking that the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!


    Empyrean spirit treasure, with Gui Yun''s realm, he was totally unable to imagine this level of existence.


    At this moment, he was incomparably thrilled that he did not carry out seizing possession on Ye Yuan. Otherwise, he would really not even know how he died.


    If he carried out an attack against Ye Yuan''s physical body, Dustless would really be powerless to do anything.


    But if he dared to seize possession of Ye Yuan, entering Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, then it was no different from seeking death.


    No wonder Ye Yuan said he would only give him one chance. He really did not bluff him.


    "That''s right, it''s an empyrean spirit treasure. Moreover, it''s a divine soul-type empyrean spirit treasure! Little Ghost, that''s why I said that you''re very lucky. If this old man''s strength recovers a little more, I probably won''t take fancy on you anymore! Even if you wanted to be Ye Yuan''s servant, there wouldn''t be a chance either," Dustless said.


    Two-star evil spirits were really just a little ghost in Dustless''s eyes.


    If not because he was a tiger that descended onto the plains presently, how could he take fancy on this kind of rookie?


    But Dustless''s one sentence made Gui Yun nervous.


    His current strength was much higher than his master''s. But if his master''s strength advanced in the future and had no more use for him, would he kill the donkey the moment it had done its job?


    Dustless clearly saw through his concerns and said with a smile, "You can put your heart back in place. Ye kiddo values ties of comradeship immensely. As long as you work diligently for him, even if he enters the rankings of Heavenly Emperor in the future, he won''t do anything to you either. He would even help you break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor! You won''t believe it even if I say anymore. You follow him, and in the future, you''ll naturally know. Now, this old man will impart you the first Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!"


    Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was a transcendent art for cultivating the Ghost Dao.


    As the name implied, Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was a hundred runes!


    These 100 runes contained the transcendent Ghost Dao Hundred Runes of Ghost Dao, exceedingly extensive and profound.


    Legends had it that as long as one comprehended these 100 runes completely, they would be able to achieve the Ghost Dao Transcendent Heavenly Emperor, looking down upon the world!


    This appeal to Gui Yun was seriously too strong.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was one of the Heavenspan World''s extremely powerful alchemists. He researched the divine soul Dao in detail.


    This Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was obtained from a Ghost Dao empyrean, which he killed in the past. The research was also very thorough.


    With Dustless''s strength, teaching Gui Yun was naturally nothing difficult.


    ...


    At the outside world, Chang Liang five people were utterly dumbfounded.


    The events did not develop in the direction that they expected at all. The result made their jaws drop.


    That was a Two-star evil spirit, an existence that could casually eradicate them with a twitch of a finger. It was actually subdued just like this?


    When they knew that Gui Yun was a Two-star evil spirit, they even thought that they were dead for sure this time. They did not expect that the final result reversed too quickly.


    This Two-star evil spirit actually became Ye Yuan''s servant!


    "Your �� Your Excellency, what was that you drew? Why did that Two-star evil spirit serve you as his servant the moment he saw it?" Chang Liang plucked up his courage and asked.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You also won''t understand if I said it. That''s the thing that Ghost Dao powerhouses cultivate. You just have to know that me taking him in is giving him a lucky chance, that''s it. Since it''s a fortuitous chance, what reason does he have to not serve me, becoming his master?"


    Chang Liang five people sighed from the bottom of their hearts and said, "Your Excellency, you''re really too formidable! The five of us brothers are convinced!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop flattering! Weren''t you all going to personally kill Wang Yutao? How you want to trample him now is up to you!"


    Chang Liang five people trembled all over, their gazes revealing a look of wild elation.


    Yeah, with a Two-star evil spirit by their side, this Yin Wind Den, they could roam as they pleased.


    What did a mere Wang Yutao count as?


    Thud!


    Chang Liang five people knelt down collectively, and Chang Liang said, "Your Excellency taking revenge for the five of us, the five of our rotten lives will be sold to Your Excellency!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Get up, the Wang Family and I have already reached the point of irreconcilability. Even if not helping you all take revenge, Wang Yutao must die as well!''


    ...


    "Second Brother, if they don''t come out, could it be that we''re really going to guard here for a year?" Wang Yugan asked.


    Even with their strength, they also felt very uncomfortable in this place where Yin wind blew all year round.


    Wang Yutao said solemnly, "Otherwise, what can we do still? No idea what kind of heretic skill that punk cultivated either, to actually be able to control evil spirits! Really damn it! No wonder he wanted to enter the Yin Wind Den at all costs. It was probably in order to cultivate the heretic skill!"


    Wang Yugan thought about it and said, "Second Brother, why not �� invite Big Brother here! I feel that this kid is extremely abnormal. Continuing to guard like this isn''t the way!"


    Wang Yugan''s suggestion made him very moved. But he shook his head again very quickly and said, "What kind of face do we have to go and meet Big Brother with our current appearance? Not killing that punk, it''s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!"


    "Oh? Second Elder wants to kill me so much? I wonder how this Ye provoked Second Elder, to make you detest me like so!" Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s voice echoed in the cave.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan suddenly stood up, their gaze filled with killing intent!

 1333 Actually, We Did It on Purpose!

    Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance caught Wang Yutao duo by surprise.


    But very soon, their figures moved swiftly, directly cutting off Ye Yuan''s retreat.


    Ye Yuan''s smiled faintly. He did not speak, allowing them to act.


    "Don''t be so nervous, relax a bit," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Wang Yutao''s expression turned cold, and he said, "Brat, you''re really gutsy, to actually dare come out and court death! You killed 11 of my Wang Family''s elites. Today, we''ll settle this score properly!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Wang Yutao''s anger reached the limit all at once.


    Currently, he wished to swallow Ye Yuan''s flesh raw.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Your Wang Family chased this Ye from Jewelhill City to the Yin Wind Den. Could it be that �� you still don''t allow me to fight back?"


    Wang Yutao snorted coldly and said, "Want to blame, you will have to blame yourself, and that you shouldn''t have opposed my Wang Family! This world is the world of the strong! If I want you dead, you have no choice but to die!"


    Ye Yuan laughed. Chang Liang and the others behind him also laughed.


    Wang Yutao''s face turned black, being deeply triggered by the few people''s laughter.


    "You laughed? I hope that you all can still laugh in a while! This old man will let you know what''s called a fate worse than death! Yugan, do it!"


    Wang Yutao shouted coldly, rushing towards Ye Yuan with Wang Yugan one after the other.


    Two mighty grand completion Grotto Profound experts making a move at the same time, that aura was truly astonishing.


    But right at this time, an even more terrifying aura emanated from Ye Yuan''s body.


    A piercing cold Yin wind stirred. Even those as powerful as Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan were also virtually frozen by this gust of Yin wind.


    The other Wang Family members'' strengths were lacking. How could they withstand such Yin wind? Their divine souls were directly scattered to the wind!


    Slam!


    Slam!


    Wang Yutao and Wang Yugan fell straight down from midair, slamming severely onto the ground.


    The two people opened their eyes wide, their eyes full of disbelief.


    How could such a terrifying Yin wind emit from Ye Yuan''s body?


    They only felt like their divine souls were about to be frozen at this time. This gust of Yin wind was too powerful!


    Seeing Ye Yuan approach step by step, Wang Yugan panicked inwardly.


    He struggled, wanting to get up. But his entire body was blown numb by the Yin wind. How could he muster up the strength in a short while?


    "You �� What do you want to do?" Wang Yugan said fearfully.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold and he said coldly, "Do what? Huhu, what this young master is going to do, you should be even clearer than me, right? Rest assured, this young master won''t kill you right now. How to deal with you, Luo Jian has the final say."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan attacked like lightning, directly sealing Wang Yugan''s divine essence and hauling him up like holding up a dead dog.


    "The numbing effects of the Yin wind can last for roughly an hour. Act faster and catch up earlier," Ye Yuan said with Chang Liang.


    Chang Liang cupped his fists and said with a bow, "Yes, Your Excellency! When us brothers finish venting this frustration, we''ll catch up!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, his figure moving, vanishing before the few people''s eyes.


    Chang Liang five people looked at the dead dog-like Wang Yutao, incomparably pleased in their hearts.


    "Wang Yutao, you were so awe-inspiring earlier! But now, if I want you dead, you have no choice but to die! Hahaha ��"


    Chang Liang mimicked Wang Yutao''s words earlier, truly ironic to the max.


    A moment ago, Wang Yutao was still awe-inspiring. A moment later, he became a dead dog.


    Furthermore, saying this kind of words in front of Ye Yuan was simply ridiculous.


    Wang Yutao was unable to move all over. But his expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He had not figured out until now what in the world happened.


    Why would such a horrifying Yin wind emit from Ye Yuan''s body?


    "Wang Yutao, didn''t you want to kill us brothers? Get up!" Number Two said with a cold smile.


    Puchi!


    Number four''s blade stabbed into Wang Yutao''s heart without the least bit of hesitation.


    "When you killed Number Three and Number Seven, you definitely didn''t think that retribution came so quickly, right?" Number Four gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    To a Deity Realm powerhouse, puncturing the heart would not be fatal. But that heart-gouging pain shot straight up to his head, making him anguished until he wished to die.


    Puchi!


    Another blade, Number Five directly chopped off one of Wang Yutao''s palm.


    "Just the likes of you are also fit to raise a hue with Lord Ye Yuan? I ask you to raise a hue, ask you to raise a hue!" Number Five said with a hideous grin.


    "Ahh! Ahh!"


    A series of miserable screams lingered on in the air. Chang Liang five people''s torture made him hover between life and death.


    Chang Liang five people were not some guys who had not seen the world before. They had mingled among the bottom level martial artists all year round. Disregarding cruel and merciless, the methods of torturing people sprung up in endless variations too.


    They were nice to their brothers. But toward enemies, they absolutely would not show mercy.


    The deaths of Number Three and Number Seven made them hate Wang Yutao to the bones!


    "C-Chang Liang, aren''t you all afraid of the Wang Family''s revenge for daring to treat this old man like this?" Wang Yutao endured the intense pain and shouted.


    Chang Liang five people were thrilled the moment they heard and laughed mockingly as they said, "Aiyo, brothers, this old fart is threatening us right now, what do you think we should do? I''m so scared, are you all scared or not?"


    "Scared! I''m really scared of death! Big Brother, why don''t we help this old fogey up and beg him for mercy?" Number Six said.


    Chang Liang chuckled and said, "Yeah, Second Elder, spare the few of us brothers, alright? I know that we were wrong! Pffft!"


    Chang Liang laughed as he stabbed Wang Yutao again.


    Wang Yutao''s face was green with pain. He gasped for air as he said, "D-Don''t you guys forget, the Wang Family still has �� still has my elder brother!"


    Chang Liang smiled coldly and said, "Using Wang Yuxiang that old fart to come and scare your father? Mm? Let you be scared of your father! Let you be scared of your father!"


    The five brothers slashed one after another. Before long, they poked Wang Yutao into a sieve.


    Their blows were very appropriate, making Wang Yutao agonized to the point of wishing for death, but all these did not take his life.


    Under the five of their torture, Wang Yutao was almost breaking down.


    He seriously could not figure out where these few people got the confidence to actually not even place Big Brother Wang Yuxian in their sights!


    His elder brother, Wang Yuxian, was an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse.


    In this Jewelhill City, that was a top of the class existence. Even Yang Rui did not dare to make light of him too!


    These few barbarians actually did not take him seriously!


    Not only did they make light of him, but also when he mentioned his elder brother, those few guys also became aggravated instead.


    Time passed,and in a twinkle, an hour''s time was almost up.


    Wang Yutao suddenly felt his body gradually recover a bit of strength.


    This discovery made him inexplicably thrilled. Because he noticed that Chang Liang and the rest only cared about tormenting him and had forgotten about the time.


    As long as he waited a while more, in a short while, their doomsday would be here!


    He was praying, praying that Chang Liang and the rest really forgot the time.


    "Have you recovered some strength? Do you �� feel that there''s still a hint of hope? Are you �� thinking of how to sentence us to death? Huhu, your father will tell you very responsibly, you''re thinking too much! Actually, we did it on purpose! Hahaha ��"


    Chang Liang''s voice was like a devil, shattering the last glimmer of Wang Yutao''s hope.

 1334 Wang Family Grievous News

    Thud!


    Wang Yugan''s body fell onto the ground heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    "Wang Yugan! Ye Yuan, this �� What''s going on here?"


    When Luo Jian saw the dead dog-like Wang Yugan, a look of shock was written all over his face.


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, how could he possibly turn Wang Yugan into this manner?


    But the reality happened before his eyes. It was not up to him to not believe.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "You don''t need to bother with what happened. I brought this guy to you to deal with. Want to kill or dismember, it''s up to you."


    Luo Jian looked at Ye Yuan as if he did not recognize the latter.


    Still being at the initial-stage Grotto Profound, Ye Yuan''s realm did not have the slightest hint of change.


    However, how in the world did he do it?


    "S-Spare me! Ye �� Ye Yuan, it �� it was all this old man''s fault! This old man apologizes to you and Luo Jian! As long as you let this old man off, this old man is willing to pay any price!'' Wang Yugan said feebly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I said just now, everything is up to Brother Luo to decide. If he''s willing to let you go, I have no objections either."


    The one who narrowly escaped death was Luo Jian, Ye Yuan would not make the decision on his behalf.


    The reason why he brought Wang Yugan here was in order to let Luo Jian vent his frustrations.


    Luo Jian was not a soft-hearted person. He would definitely kill this fellow.


    "Luo ��"


    He had yet to start pleading for mercy when a streak of cold light flashed past.


    A powerful divine essence directly destroyed his life force.


    The high and mighty Wang Yugan died just like this.


    Luo Jian could not be bothered to be long-winded with him at all. With his personality, he would not be long-winded with the other party either.


    "So much crap! This guy was still hoping for me to let him go? Really foolish!" Luo Jian said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "When people reach a hopeless situation, they always hope to live on."


    "If it were me, I definitely wouldn''t plead to live disgracefully!" Luo Jian said coolly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How is it? Vented your anger yet?"


    Luo Jian nodded and said, "Thoughts are running smoothly, vented the anger! Ye Yuan, how in the world did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I can tell you, but you must help me keep the secret! Even the Tower Lord can''t be told, can you do it?"


    Luo Jian''s expression choked up, and he shook his head and said, "Can''t do it! Forget it, you''d better not say. You, kid, are really a freak, made me worry for nothing!"


    Luo Jian was very broad-minded though. But it was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan regarded him even higher.


    Ye Yuan could naturally perceive that Luo Jian very much wanted to know what in the world happened. But he did not wish to hide from Yang Rui too. Hence, he forcefully endured asking.


    As for Ye Yuan, he naturally did not have the need to hide from Luo Jian. It was just that he knew Luo Jian''s temperament, that was why he did not tell him.


    After all, the current Gui Yun was Ye Yuan''s greatest trump card.


    "Oh, right, Wang Yutao and Wang Yumin both came. Where are they? They wouldn''t also have ��" Luo Jian suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Wang Yumin has already been killed by me. As for Wang Yutao, he must be savoring it greatly right now."


    Luo Jian''s expression changed several times, and he said huffily, "You, this guy, are really a freak!"


    Before long, Chang Liang five people rushed over, directly kneeling down in unison when he saw Ye Yuan.


    "Many thanks to Your Excellency for granting the wish, letting us take revenge for Number Three and Number Seven! From this day forth, the five of our lives will be sold to Your Excellency! If Your Excellency wants us to head east, we absolutely won''t head west; if Your Excellency wants our lives, us brothers absolutely won''t bat an eyelid!" Chang Liang said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "What would I want your lives for? You all take these medicinal pills, go back and cultivate well."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan casually threw a small bottle to Chang Liang.


    Chang Liang received it and took a look, and involuntarily shuddered all over, crying out in shock, "Your Excellency, this �� this is too precious! We can''t accept it!"


    Inside the small bottle was actually divine-grade Divine Essence Pills!


    This kind of thing was originally a priceless item in Jewelhill City. Having money could not buy it either.


    Ye Yuan''s opening move was 10 pills!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just a few medicinal pills, it''s not a big deal. Number three and number seven being killed was caused by me in the end. These medicinal pills, just take it as compensation for you all."


    Chang Liang and the rest felt even more inexplicably grateful. He had already been stuck at middle-stage Grotto Profound for many years and kept failing to break through.


    With this divine-grade Divine Essence Pill, his breakthrough to late-stage Grotto Profound was already something that happened without extra effort.


    Not just him, these few brothers of his, by relying on these divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, they would definitely have a huge advancement too.


    "Thank you very much, Your Excellency!" Chang Liang five people were really on all fours in admiration towards Ye Yuan this time.


    ...


    "What did you say? Say it again!"


    At the Wang Family''s residence, Wang Lingbo suddenly stood up. He was yelling at a junior managing the ancestral temple.


    "Family Head, Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, as well as the Wang Family elites who were brought out this time, their soul lamps are all extinguished!'' The junior was grief-stricken as if bereaved of his parents.


    The so-called soul lamp was lit with a trace of a martial artist''s soul force, which could reflect the survival status of the martial artist.


    Once the soul lamp extinguished, the martial artist was either dead or trapped in some dangerous place.


    "How is this possible! The three elders are all grand completion Grotto Profound powerhouses! Who in this Jewelhill City can eradicate all of them in one go!" Wang Lingbo''s entire body trembled as he said.


    That junior said with a mournful face: "Family Head, I also suspected that I saw wrongly at first. But I checked several times, their soul lamps are indeed all extinguished!"


    Wang Lingbo plopped his bottom back down, his entire person seemed to have lost his soul.


    These three great elders were the Wang Family''s backbone strength!


    Once they died, the blow to the Wang Family was seriously too great.


    There was even a possibility that the Wang Family would never recover from this setback henceforth!


    They were to hunt down Ye Yuan. Could it be that �� they all died in Ye Yuan''s hands?


    But how was this possible?


    Ye Yuan was just an initial-stage Grotto Profound rookie. Even if he had Luo Jian protecting, it was also not possible to make the three great elders perish at the same time, right?


    Wang Lingbo could not figure out after racking his brains!


    After a long time, he said to the junior despondently, "I got it! This matter must be kept secret! If you dare to leak a word, family punishment awaits!"


    The junior hurriedly voiced his assent and took his leave.


    Wang Lingbo maintained that sitting posture, sitting the whole night.


    Ever since he received the position of family head from Wang Yuxian, it could be said to have been limitless glory.


    In the past, there had never been a moment where he was so helpless like now!


    Finally, at dawn, a haggard-looking Wang Lingbo got up and slowly walked into a secret underground room that was.


    "Father!" Wang Lingbo shouted using a dry voice.


    Before long, an aged voice came from inside the secret room, "It''s Lingbo huh? Why? Encountered some issues?"


    Wang Lingbo opened his mouth and really did not know how to speak up.


    "Mm? This isn''t like your style! Could it be that this time, it was Yang Rui who personally took action?" said the old man.


    After a long silence, Wang Lingbo finally plucked up his courage and used a close to teary voice and said, "Father, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle, they all �� they all might have already fallen!"


    Boom!


    The secret room''s door directly exploded. A gust of strong wind blew out from inside.

 1335 Revealing True Colors

    Late at night, a figure suddenly staggered into the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    But when Hong Yin saw this figure, she was taken aback with fright.


    It was only to see that this figure was covered in blood from top to bottom. It was as if he was hauled out from a blood pool, looking incomparably grim.


    "Luo Jian, what �� what''s with you? Where''s Sir Ye?"


    Hong Yin recognized the arrival and hurriedly forward and helped him up.


    This figure was none other than precisely Luo Jian!


    "Q-Quickly help me to go and meet the tower lord!" Luo Jian gasped.


    "Oh, I''ll help you over right now!" Hong Yin said.


    Right at this time, Feng Ping flashed out from the inner-hall and exclaimed, "Luo Jian, why have you suffered such serious injuries? Quickly come in, I''ll treat it for you!"


    Luo Jian''s face was deathly pale. Seeing Feng Ping, he said weakly, "Many thanks for Elder Feng''s good intentions, but the matter is urgent. My injuries, best treat it afterward!"


    Feng Ping''s expression changed, and he said, "Luo Jian, what in the world happened? Weren''t you escorting Ye Yuan into the Yin Wind Den? Where is he?"


    Luo Jian said, "The Wang Family sent out three elders to hunt us down, surrounding us at the Yin Wind Den! Fortunately, Ye Yuan had methods to control evil spirits. That was how he helped me to charge out of the heavy encirclement, making me return to seek help! The Wang Family pursued Ye Yuan into the Yin Wind Den''s interior and I lost contact with him. I rushed back without stopping once to ask Tower Lord for help!"


    Feng Ping''s expression changed drastically, and he said, "This �� This matter, only the few of us know! So how did the Wang Family get the intel?"


    Luo Jian shook his head and said, "Don''t know! Now isn''t the time to look into this matter. Continue to drag on, Ye Yuan will likely be a goner! Hong Yin, quickly help me to go see Tower Lord!"


    Hong Yin was also worried about Ye Yuan''s safety and hurriedly helped Luo Jian in.


    After the two people left, the expression on Feng Ping''s face changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and dashed out of the Myriad Treasure Tower, vanishing into the dark night.


    ...


    "Ye Yuan is the Myriad Treasure Tower''s money tree now. Yang Rui definitely won''t look on with folded arms! Once he makes a move, the lives of those three elders of your Wang Family will be difficult to guarantee!"


    Inside the Wang Family''s study, Feng Ping''s words were clearly somewhat anxious.


    But his words gave Wang Lingbo hope!


    He revealed a look of pleasant surprise on his face and said, "Is this true? My second uncle they all are really still in the Yin Wind Den?"


    Feng Ping said urgently, "Why would I lie to you? Just earlier, Luo Jian returned to the Myriad Treasure Tower covered in blood. He already broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound. You think about it, apart from your Wang Family''s three elders, who can injure him until like that? There was no time for him to even treat his injuries, and he wanted to go and see Yang Rui! It can be seen how dangerous the situation is! I''m afraid that Yang Rui will beat you to it. So I come to inform you right away! You quickly get Lord Yuxiang to take action. Otherwise, the consequences are too ghastly to imagine!"


    This news was seriously too pleasantly surprising, sweeping Wang Lingbo''s depressed mood clean.


    Wang Lingbo hurriedly said, "Okay! You go back first, don''t arouse their suspicions! I''ll go and meet my father right now and invite his elderly self to take action! These two days, he didn''t have any appetite for food over Second Uncle and their matter."


    Feng Ling nodded his head and hurriedly said, "Okay, I''ll return right away!"


    Not long after he left, a person rode a horse out of the Wang Family, swift as lightning, galloping over towards outside the city.


    After Feng Ping came out of the Wang Family, his entire person also heaved a sigh of relief.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had the ability to control evil spirits, and was actually able to withstand the besieging of three mighty grand completion Grotto Profound powerhouses.


    It looked like he really underestimated him.


    But with Wang Yuxian making a move, Ye Yuan definitely could not escape his doom this time.


    "Yo, it''s the evening now. Elder Feng still has the leisurely mood to come out for a stroll. How pleasant!"


    Feng Ping was currently pondering when a voice suddenly sounded out from behind him, making him jump in fright.


    Turning around to look, Feng Ping''s eyeballs popped out.


    "Ye Yuan, y-y-you �� Why would you be here? Aren''t you �� Aren''t ��"


    The one talking was none other than precisely Ye Yuan!


    When Feng Ping saw Ye Yuan, he was shocked until he was stumbling over his words.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Ping with a smile that was not a smile and said smilingly, "Is Elder Feng trying to say, shouldn''t I be trapped at the Yin Wind Den currently? Why would I show up here?"


    Feng Ping said in surprise, "Y-Yeah! Didn''t Luo Jian say �� Ah! It �� It''s great that you''re fine! H-Haha."


    Feng Ping''s reaction was fast too, hastily changing his tune.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Elder Feng, do you think �� the injuries that this Ye did to Luo Jian was still passable? It seems like even you didn''t see through either!"


    Feng Ping''s expression changed, and he said in a grim voice, "You �� What do you mean?"


    "Heh, what do I mean? This is nighttime. Elder Feng is coming out of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s sworn enemy''s residence. I wonder what''s the meaning of it?" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    Monstrous waves stirred up in Feng Ping''s heart. But he still harbored a hint of getting lucky and feigned ignorance and said, "I don''t know what you''re talking about! Which eye of yours saw me coming out of the Wang Family? Ye Yuan, you don''t make unfounded remarks!"


    "Make unfounded remarks? Heh, the ones who saw you come out from the Wang Family wasn''t just me alone!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Suddenly, several people appeared behind Ye Yuan.


    The one in the lead had an incredibly solemn demeanor. How could it be if not Yang Rui?


    Yang Rui''s appearance shattered the last trace of hope in Feng Ping''s heart.


    He finally understood that this play tonight was a total trap!


    Ye Yuan set up this trap in order to make him head to the Wang Family!


    And he waddled over just like that.


    Yang Rui looked at Feng Ping and said with a look of pain, "When Luo Jian told me this matter, I still didn''t believe it! Feng Ping! I, Yang Rui, examined my conscience and feel that I didn''t treat you shabbily. Why did you betray the Myriad Treasure Tower?"


    Feng Ping knew that there was zero chance of getting lucky today and said with a cold snort, "I didn''t betray the Myriad Treasure Tower, I just want this boy dead! With this boy around, I, Feng Ping, will never come a day where I raise my head up here in the future! The Myriad Treasure Tower can only have one chief alchemist, and that is me, Feng Ping!"


    Hearing these words, Yang Rui looked up at the sky and gave a long sigh, and he said, "Hence, you gave Ye Yuan''s intel to the Wang Family, and borrowed the Wang Family''s hands to kill Ye Yuan?"


    Feng Ping said in a solemn voice, "That''s right! The Myriad Treasure Tower, there''s no him if there''s me, no me if there''s him! Ever since this boy came to the Myriad Treasure Tower, have you looked me straight in the eye once?"


    Yang Rui was enraged until he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said solemnly, "You clearly know Ye Yuan''s importance to the Myriad Treasure Tower. How could you actually still do such a thing?!"


    Feng Ling smiled coldly and said, "So what? This boy''s origins are unknown, his identity uncertain. You all actually used such a guy and paid no heed to me! I''m doing this all for the sake of the Myriad Treasure Tower!"


    "Heh, for the sake of the Myriad Treasure Tower, so you even sold out your own bro? It''s fine if you betrayed me, but Luo Jian has fought alongside you for so many years. How could you bear it?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    "Those who accomplish great things doesn''t bother with trifles! Saying anymore is pointless. Before dying, I only wish to know, what in the world happened to those three old fellows from the Wang Family?" Feng Ping said.


    He was unresigned!


    He still did not believe until now that Ye Yuan could escape the Wang Family''s three great elders'' pursuit.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, "All dead. The Wang Family sent out 16 people this time, and all of them are dead."

 1336 Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!

    "Impossible! With your strength, how can you possibly be those three old fellows'' match? I don''t believe it!"


    Feng Ping''s gaze turned intent. Clearly, he did not believe Ye Yuan''s words.


    He was more inclined to believe that Ye Yuan escaped the three of their pursuits and fled back to Jewelhill City.


    Clearly, this explanation was much more reasonable.


    But Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "The reality is, I''m standing here right now, while their soul lamps are already extinguished, haven''t they? Wang Yuxiang will know whether the three of them were finished off or not if he goes to the Yin Wind Den to inquire."


    Wang Yuxiang was destined to leave with hope and return full of disappointment.


    Messing with the Wang Family''s people if he had nothing to do was also pretty good.


    When talking up to here, Yang Rui also could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan, his gaze carrying some astonishment and confusion.


    He also could not figure out how in the world Ye Yuan, an initial-stage Grotto Profound rookie, finished off those three great elders of the Wang Family.


    Those three people were all Grotto Profound Deity Realm''s peak powerhouses already. Under Heaven Glimpse, virtually no one was their match.


    Unless Ye Yuan had Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm strength, otherwise, it was very hard to dispose of all three of them.


    Moreover, they even brought a large group of the Wang Family''s experts.


    When he asked Luo Jian, Luo Jian was also vague and did not speak in detail. This made Yang Rui even more uncertain.


    In Yang Rui''s eyes, this guest alchemist became more and more mysterious.


    But what assured him was that Ye Yuan''s conduct drew a clear demarcation between whom or what to hate or love.


    Even under the situation where Luo Jian was heavily injured and dying, he did not escape alone either.


    Everyone said that time revealed a man''s heart. In these ten years, Ye Yuan''s actions and conduct were all in his sights.


    Since that was the case, then the more powerful Ye Yuan was, it was naturally not some bad thing for the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    "Sigh, Elder Feng, you and I have worked together for many years but didn''t expect that �� there would actually come such a day!" Yang Rui heaved a sigh and said.


    Feng Ping snorted coldly and said, "Yeah! I slogged for the Myriad Treasure Tower all my life, but I didn''t think that what it exchanged for was this conclusion! Only see the newcomers smile, but don''t hear the old-timers cry! Heh heh."


    "Why does Elder Feng say this? Even though this tower lord puts Ye Yuan in an important position, I touched my heart and feel that I didn''t neglect you, right? Regardless of whether it is spirit medicines or salary, the Myriad Treasure Tower has never owed you before!" Yang Rui said.


    "Humph! Now that it came to this, no need to say anymore! Want to kill or dismember, it''s up to your preference!" Feng Ping snorted coldly and said.


    When Yang Rui saw that Feng Ping refused to listen to reason, he could not resist letting out a long sigh.


    He also did not expect that, in the end, it would actually end up with such a conclusion.


    Yang Rui heaved a sigh and said, "Luo Jian!"


    Luo Jian received the order, his figure shooting out like a ghost.


    "Ahh! Yang Rui, you �� you''ll die a horrible death!" Feng Ping cried out miserably.


    Yang Rui still did not kill Feng Ping in the end, but wasted his divine sea, making him become a cripple.


    Luo Jian escorted Feng Ping again. Yang Rui looked at Ye Yuan with an apologetic look and said, "Young Friend Ye Yuan, this time, I''ve made you suffer a shock! I didn''t expect that my Myriad Treasure Tower actually produced a traitor. This was Yang''s oversight, nearly causing a great disaster! This Yang apologizes to Young Friend Ye Yuan here."


    At this point, Yang Rui would not think that Ye Yuan was still that cripple who needed to seek help from the Myriad Treasure Tower anymore.


    Being able to annihilate the Wang Family''s three great elders, no matter what kind of trump card Ye Yuan had, he very likely already had means to protect himself.


    This trump card could even pose a threat to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Tower Lord''s words regard me too much as an outsider! This matter was all Feng Ping''s fault, what has it got to do with Tower Lord? To really say sorry, that should also this Ye saying that. If not for this Ye, the Myriad Treasure Tower would not have gone so far as to have such a matter happen as well."


    Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "Young Friend, you don''t need to be like this. Feng Ping has always been the Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist, with a high position and heavy authority. Hence, his nature was not exposed as well. Even without you, he''ll be a hidden danger of the Myriad Treasure Tower eventually, with us not knowing when he''ll erupt!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then I''ll have to thank Tower Lord very much! Tower Lord''s grace towards this Ye is as weighty as a mountain. This Ye has no other strengths, only alchemy is passable. How about this, I''ll refine a batch of divine-grade medicinal pills. Tower Lord can use this as a gimmick and attract Jewelhill City''s martial artists."


    Yang Rui was overjoyed the moment he heard and said with a laugh, "Then I''ll have to trouble Young Friend!"


    Talking with smart people was effortless. Feng Ping being a cripple, Yang Rui still had to report this matter to upstairs, and request upstairs to send an alchemist over again.


    In this period, he would naturally need Ye Yuan to take charge of the overall situation.


    Actually, even if upstairs sent a Two-star Alchemy God over, he would not be as effective as Ye Yuan either.


    Could Two-star Alchemy Gods refine divine-grade medicinal pills?


    After all, Jewelhill City this kind of county, Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artists and mortals were the population.


    ...


    In the following period of time, Jewelhill City entered a relatively peaceful period.


    Outside of expectations, the Wang Family maintained great restraint after sustaining such heavy losses.


    As for the Myriad Treasure Tower, they ushered in a period of rapid development.


    The rolling out of divine-grade medicinal pills raised Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s reputation to the highest level.


    Of course, divine-grade medicinal pills were not what ordinary people could afford to consume. Even if it was the lowest-level Tier 1 low-grade divine pill.


    But this did not hinder the rise of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s reputation!


    This period of time, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business virtually skyrocketed, snatching away more than half of the three great families'' business all at once.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower''s glory was unparalleled.


    While Ye Yuan himself entered closed-seclusion after preparing sufficient quantities of medicinal pills.


    His cultivation had already stagnated for very long. Previously, there was always no time to increase cultivation. Now that all of the dangers were already resolved, he could finally settle down and think about the direction of his cultivation in the days to come.


    "Boy, you have to think clearly! Comprehending heaven and earth laws on the World Suppressing Stele and creating a cultivation method that belongs to yourself, this is a prolonged process! Maybe, you can comprehend a heaven-defying cultivation method, maybe �� you''ll waste massive amounts of time!"


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, Dustless was doing his final urging.


    After all, the cultivation method that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove left behind was already very heaven-defying. It could be cultivated all the way to peak Empyrean.


    This was a shortcut, but Ye Yuan refused to take it and insisted on taking a path of no return.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was firm as he said, "Senior, you don''t need to persuade me anymore! I said before back when we were at the Immortal Grove Region, that I want to walk a path that belongs to me. No matter �� how arduous this path is!"


    Dustless had been with Ye Yuan for a long time and had also figured out Ye Yuan''s temperament, and knew that saying anymore was useless.


    He could only let out a long sigh and said, "You, this fellow, just like to walk one path till the end! I want to see whether or not you can also be heaven-defying in martial arts!"


    Rumble ��


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, an enormous mountain rose straight from the ground, charging straight to the clouds!


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted, a surge of unfathomable aura hit him head-on.


    It turned out that this was the World Suppressing Stele''s main body!


    "Ugh ��"


    Ye Yuan could not resist using divine sense to probe this large mountain a little, but he was struck by a tremendous force, instantly making his divine soul sustain serious injuries.


    "You, this punk, really don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! The Great Dao concepts contained in this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain are sufficient to exterminate Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, and you actually dared to offend it!" Dustless said.

 1337 Correspondence Poin

    "Lesser Heavenspan Mountain?" Ye Yuan muttered.


    A surge of gentle breath pervaded around Ye Yuan. Very soon, the injuries that his divine soul suffered became much better.


    Ye Yuan had obtained the World Suppressing Stele for a long time and had yet to see before this appearance.


    When he faced this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it was like when he was still at the Immortal Grove World facing Heavenly Dao, that sort of feeling.


    Vast like the ocean, elusive and intangible!


    "This Lesser Heavenspan Mountain is the World Suppressing Stele''s main body, holding in store Great Dao! Even a Heavenly Emperor won''t dare to investigate it like you either. But you actually dared to profane Heaven''s prestige!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan palpitated with anxiety and fear when he heard that. The rock brought down from the Heavenspan Mountain was indeed extraordinary!


    "Since that''s the case, why did you remind me earlier?" Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said.


    "How would I know that you, brat, are so reckless. I was just about to warn you, but you had already made a move!" Dustless also said crossly.


    Ye Yuan smiled embarrassedly and stopped talking.


    He saw that this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was extraordinary just now and sent out his divine sense at the behest of supernatural powers, wanting to investigate it, but did not know that it was actually so dangerous.


    Seeing Ye Yuan shut up, Dustless continued, "The Lesser Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove can only be for visualizing comprehensions, so one mustn''t use divine sense to investigate it. This Lesser Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove is unfathomable. With Immortal Grove''s realm, he''s also unable to pry into one ten-thousandth of it! He guessed that this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain might very likely be a supreme treasure inoculated by the Heavenspan Mountain, containing this portion of Heavenly Dao''s might. It''s just a shame that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove did not break through to Heavenly Emperor Realm. Otherwise, he should be able to pry into a trace of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s secrets."


    Ye Yuan''s jaw dropped, and he exclaimed in shock, "This Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s background is so great? If I fully comprehend the Heavenly Dao contained inside the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, would I be able to reach the realm of Dao Ancestor?"


    Dustless smiled coldly and said, "Heh, you''re dreaming! Do you think that this Heavenly Dao is so easy to comprehend? Put away that unrealistic thought of yours! For you to visualize this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, being able to fully comprehend the first level cultivation method within 5000 years is already very impressive."


    The cultivation of Deity Realm powerhouses was easily in the units of ten thousand years.


    Over 5000 years, that was really not considered a long time.


    Dustless''s words were already regarding Ye Yuan highly.


    He knew that when Ye Yuan was at the Immortal Grove World, he entered Dao with alchemy, and even triggered the resonance of Great Dao.


    But in martial arts, he did not believe that Ye Yuan still had this kind of heaven-defying talent.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Got it, Senior. I''ll be starting now. If the outside world has any activities, wake me up in time."


    Dustless nodded his head and disappeared.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain ahead and murmured under his breath, "Lesser Heavenspan Mountain �� already has such power. I wonder how terrifying the real Heavenspan Mountain is! Could it be that even Dao Ancestor, that level of realm, all have to comprehend Dao on the Heavenspan Mountain?!"


    Ye Yuan discovered that this World Suppressing Stele was really a heaven-defying treasure.


    Disregarding that its potential was limitless, for others to want to go to the Heavenspan Mountain to comprehend Great Dao, they must arrive at the Heavenspan Mountain in person.


    But, as long as he possessed this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it was equivalent to Ye Yuan carrying along a Heavenly Dao by his side, able to comprehend at any time.


    This kind of advantage, probably if anyone knew about it, they would all be envious to the extreme, right?


    Maybe even Dao Ancestors would be moved too!


    Then Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang sending Kanuo into the Immortal Grove World, maybe the objective was precisely it.


    It was just that Ye Yuan felt that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang probably only suspected and did not know the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s true face.


    Otherwise, he probably would not send a puny little Kanuo over.


    This kind of heaven-defying treasure, he would absolutely make a move personally!


    His thoughts arriving here, Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed too.


    The treasures on him were more heaven-defying one after another. In the future, better be a little more careful, and he mustn''t spill the beans. Otherwise, the consequences were too ghastly to imagine.


    Especially this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, once exposed, what he would have to face would likely be the entire Heavenspan World''s pursuit.


    Ye Yuan abandoned all distracting thoughts and started visualizing the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    This Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was indeed a heaven-defying treasure. But how much one was able to comprehend still had to depend on the martial artist''s comprehension abilities.


    Those with poor comprehension abilities, even if they obtained the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it was no use either; their accomplishments limited.


    But even if one''s talent was any better, they also had to accumulate little by little.


    Ordinary martial artists relying solely on comprehension, they might not be able to break through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm all their life.


    With the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, this process was bound to be shortened by several times.


    Even if one was any dumber, cultivating to Origin Deity Realm was not a problem too.


    However, what Ye Yuan wanted to comprehend was not just Heavenly Dao, but comprehending a set of cultivation methods that belonged to himself from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    This difficulty was immense.


    Put on some people, they might never be able to complete it all their lives.


    The cultivation method that Ye Yuan wanted to comprehend was a complete cultivation system.


    He needed to comprehend Heavenly Dao while perfecting the cultivation method, all the way until this cultivation method did not have the slightest flaw, could he start cultivating.


    With Ye Yuan''s current realm, he would definitely be unable to immediately complete a set of cultivation methods.


    What he could do now was create the first level of the cultivation method, so as to ensure that he could cultivate to grand completion Grotto Profound.


    In addition, he even had to leave behind scalability for the second level cultivation method, laying down the foundation for him to create the cultivation method in the future.


    This process did not allow the slightest bit of errors.


    Using a word to describe, it was hard!


    As hard as ascending to the heavens!


    Therefore, that was why Dustless would become angry and disappointed.


    Moreover, creating whatever rank of cultivation method completely depended on the individual''s comprehension ability.


    Those with high comprehension ability could create very heaven-defying cultivation methods; those with low comprehension ability, the cultivation method created might be hard to continue when cultivated to Origin Deity Realm.


    Hence, there was a possibility that Ye Yuan doing so would gain less than what was lost.


    Dustless did not feel that Ye Yuan could create a more powerful cultivation method than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    After all, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s cultivation method could be cultivated to Transcendent Heavenly Emperor Realm!


    No matter how powerful, how formidable could it be?


    Except, Ye Yuan refused to believe in heresy!


    To Ye Yuan, rather than pinning his hopes on a Dao Ancestor helping, it was better to realize it through his own efforts!


    He did not like that feeling of fate being grasped in the hands of others!


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s ambitions were very big. But when he really started visualizing, Ye Yuan discovered that this was really very hard.


    Great Dao was boundless!


    When Ye Yuan started visualizing, he felt like he was seemingly situated in an endless wilderness plain, unable to find the direction at all.


    In front of Heavenly Dao, he, this Deity Realm powerhouse, did not even count as an ant.


    Time passed day by day. Ye Yuan attempted many methods but was unable to find the entry point.


    Ye Yuan knew that wanting to find his own path, he must first find a correspondence point with Heavenly Dao.


    Just like reeling silk from cocoons, without this correspondence point, Ye Yuan would forever not enter the door.


    It was just that talk was cheap, but doing it was as hard as ascending to heaven!


    Leaves fell without knowing autumn. In a blink, Ye Yuan spent ten year''s time inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space.


    In ten years, Ye Yuan attempted countless ways but was still unable to find this correspondence point.


    This result involuntarily made him somewhat discouraged.


    "Heh, know how foolish you are, right? This path of yours can''t work! Moreover, you can afford to wait, but can that little lass afford to wait?"


    By Ye Yuan''s ear, came Dustless''s mocking.

 1338 Wang Familys Main Family Arriving

    "Wang Family''s branch, Wang Yuxiang, has seen Sir Su and Elder Xuan!"


    In the Wang Family''s hall, an old man and a youth were currently sitting in the middle.


    Even Wang Yuxiang, this Wang Family''s leader, could only stand in the hall.


    Wang Lingbo was even only able to stand behind Wang Yuxiang and did not even have the qualifications to speak.


    Sir Su, who was sitting on the seat of honor, had a high and mighty appearance. Clearly, he did not place Wang Yuxiang in his sights.


    "Wang Yuxiang, your Jewelhill''s branch''s recent performance has made the main family very disappointed! A Wang Family of such a size was actually almost pulled up by the roots by someone!" Wang Su said carelessly.


    On the right-hand seats, cold sweat poured profusely on their foreheads when Wang Yuxiang and Wang Lingbo heard these words.


    Jewelhill City''s Wang Family was merely a branch of the Wang Family.


    The Wang Family''s main family was in Brightraise City.


    The Heavenspan World did not have a number of messy forces. There was only one city after another.


    Heavenspan World''s cities were divided into a total of five ranks, namely, counties, capital cities, imperial cities, imperial capital, and great imperial capital.


    Counties were the lowest-level cities. It was the city where powerhouses managed low-level martial artists and mortals. The numbers were abundant.


    Reaching capital city this level, it was not what the average person could enter.


    Mortals were absolutely barred from entering capital cities!


    Even Deity Realm powerhouses had to meet certain conditions too, before they had the qualifications to enter a capital city.


    The administrator of capital cities were at least all Divine Lord Realm and above.


    Jewelhill City and Brightraise City were both counties, both belonging to Wu Meng Capital City.


    It was just that Jewelhill City was a part of the very weak counties, while Brightraise City belonged to the stronger counties.


    Three years'' time had already passed since the Wang Family''s three great elders were killed by Ye Yuan.


    In these three years, Jewelhill City''s Wang Family was extremely low-key, drawing back all businesses, waiting for this day.


    Wang Yuxiang made a trip to the Yin Wind Den, angering him until he billowed smoke from all seven orifices.


    After a little inquiry, he learned that the Wang Family''s three great elders were all annihilated already.


    The news that Feng Ping brought was utter rubbish.


    But Wang Yuxiang very quickly realized the seriousness of the problem. Being able to wipe out all of the Wang Family''s elites, regardless of what methods Ye Yuan used, it could not be underestimated.


    Furthermore, the Wang Family already suffered a great loss in vitality. They were already strong in will but lacking in strength to fight with the other families.


    His thought reaching here, Wang Yuxiang decided to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, informing Brightraise City''s Wang Family''s main family about the matter on this side.


    Jewelhill City''s Wang Family would have to pay large amounts of benefits as tribute to the main family at Brightraise City. What they were afraid of was the arrival of this day.


    Three years had passed, the Wang Family''s main family finally sent Wang Su and Wang Xuanfeng here.


    This Wang Su was an outstanding member of the Wang Family''s younger generation. He was less than 500 years old and already a grand completion Grotto Profound level expert.


    Wang Xuanfeng was even more remarkable. Not only was he a martial arts expert, but he was also even a Two-star Alchemy God!


    Although the strong reigned supreme in the martial arts world, business was business, everyone had to observe the most basic rules of the game.


    Jewelhill City''s four great factions were originally balanced in strength. The Wang Family was the strongest, the Lu and Lin two families followed, the Myriad Treasure Tower the weakest.


    Now, the Myriad Treasure Tower rose domineeringly with divine-grade medicinal pills. For the Wang Family to want to make a comeback, they had to use business methods.


    Once martial strength got involved, the City Lord Manor would inevitably have to intervene.


    Although the Wang Family''s strength was even greater than Jewelhill City''s City Lord Manor, what the City Lord Manor represented was Wu Meng Capital City and could not be offended.


    "Sir Su, the fault of the matter this time doesn''t lie with the Wang Family! That guest alchemist of the Myriad Treasure Tower is really freakish to the max. We were caught off-guard too." Wang Yuxiang said.


    Although his realm was higher than Wang Su''s, he did not dare to offend him.


    This was a junior that the main family placed emphasis on grooming. His future accomplishments were limitless.


    "Heh, an initial-stage Grotto Profound turned your Jewelhill City branch upside-down, you guys are really promising! Don''t failures always like to give excuses like that?" Wang Su said with a cold smile.


    What you heard may be false, but what you saw was true.


    Wang Su was naturally aware of the news that Wang Yuxiang reported. But in his view, this was Jewelhill City''s Wang Family being incapable, and not that their adversary was very powerful.


    All these information were mere excuses.


    Wang Yuxiang did not dare to refute and said to Wang Lingbo, "Lingbo, present the thing and let Sir Su and Elder Xuan take a look."


    Wang Lingbo handed over two boxes respectfully. Wang Su carelessly received it and gave a glance, his gaze was still just disdain.


    "Divine-grade Divine Essence Pill? Heh heh, what does lowest-grade Tier 1 low-grade divine pill count for? Don''t you say so, Elder Xuan?" Wang Su said with a laugh.


    Elder Xuan, who had been silent all along, smiled when he heard this and said, "Oh, Yuxiang, just a mere Tier 1 low-grade divine pill, it''s nothing at all! With this old man around, his Myriad Treasure Tower has to coil even if it''s a dragon too! Additionally, when I came, the head elder told me, Jewelhill City''s branch family has been conscientious and earnest these few years, and have made great contributions for the main family. Head Elder specially permitted for Jewelhill City''s branch family to pick three elite disciples to enter the main family''s Soaring Dragon Pavilion."


    Wang Xuanfeng''s words made Wang Yuxiang and Wang Lingbo tremble all over, their faces revealing a look of wild ecstasy.


    The Soaring Dragon Pavilion was the place where the main family specially fostered elite disciples.


    Upon entering the Soaring Dragon pavilion, one''s future accomplishments would be limitless.


    The Wang Family suffered heavy losses this time. But being able to let elite disciples enter the Soaring Dragon Pavilion was also considered to have gotten a blessing in disguise.


    "Thank you very much, Sir Su, Elder Xuan! Thank you very much, Head Elder!" Wang Yuxiang said agitatedly.


    Wang Xuanfeng smiled and said, "With this, Yuxiang, you don''t have worries about attacks from the rear anymore, right? These few years, Wang Su and I will be staying here. You guys put in more effort and squeeze the Myriad Treasure Tower out of Jewelhill City, this is the main point."


    Wang Yuxiang''s gaze turned intent, and he hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Elder Xuan, Jewelhill City''s branch family will definitely cooperate fully with the main family!"


    Wang Yuxiang realized that the main family was finally going to seize this chance and make a move against the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    ...


    Ten years, Ye Yuan did not obtain the slightest bit of progress.


    Rather, Dustless mocked beside his ear non-stop.


    "Kid, give up. You only spent a year''s time, you still have time to turn back now."


    But Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, "Senior, you and I have been together for a long time. You should understand my temperament a little already. I won''t give up."


    Dustless said crossly, "Boy, I acknowledge that your alchemy talent is exceedingly strong, but this Martial Dao cultivation method is a completely different matter from Alchemy Dao!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly trembled all over, his face revealing a look of wild elation. Slapping his head, he said, "Yeah! Why am I so stupid! Giving up a ready-made road and not walking, only caring about taking the roundabout way!"


    Dustless froze, clueless why Ye Yuan was so excited without rhyme or reason.


    "You kid, what did you think of again?" Dustless said in puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan said excitedly, "Since it''s creating a cultivation method that belongs to me, then it should be the cultivation method most suitable for me! Don''t you agree, Senior?"


    Dustless nodded woodenly and said, "That is, of course!


    "Then, Senior, what''s my strongest path?" Ye Yuan continued.


    Dustless said, "Naturally, Alchemy Dao! En? You want to use Alchemy Dao as the correspondence point and create a cultivation method? This �� This is also too ridiculous, right? Then the cultivation method created is specifically used to refine pills?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled but did not say anything, stifling Dustless badly.

 1339 Above the Heavenspan Mountain!

    In front of Ye Yuan were divine rank spirit medicines piled like a mountain.


    When refining the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill back then, it was a focused practice.


    All of the medicinal pills he refined was all for the sake of finally refining the One-star Heavenly Mark Pill.


    And now, Ye Yuan was going to cultivate initial-rank One-star Alchemy God to the limits!


    In this aspect, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s powerful supply system became apparent.


    Under Ye Yuan''s request, Yang Rui found a lot of very obscure divine rank spirit medicines.


    Now, the spirit medicines piled in front of him were as many as several thousand kinds.


    Of course, this was not all of Heavenspan World''s Tier 1 divine rank spirit medicine type.


    Ye Yuan also did not require all Tier 1 divine rank spirit medicines. He only needed an opportunity, an opportunity to comprehend Heavenly Dao!


    After the first decade, Ye Yuan started a long process of comprehending Alchemy Dao.


    Every kind of spirit medicines, he would experience it diligently, comprehending their medicinal properties.


    This task, Ye Yuan had once done before in the Immortal Grove World. Doing it now was not unfamiliar.


    It was just that the difficulty increased countless times.


    Time passed inside the World Suppressing Stele, in a blink, 120 years passed.


    In these 120 years, Ye Yuan finally fully comprehended the several thousand kinds of spirit medicines'' medicinal properties.


    Ye Yuan''s path of alchemy was summed up into just five words: A solid foundation, diligent practice!


    Expending 120 years and pouring all of their heart and soul into comprehending medicinal properties, this was an exceedingly dreary thing to others.


    Even for alchemists, not many were able to withstand such loneliness either.


    Ye Yuan could!


    These 120 years laid down Ye Yuan''s foundation of refining divine pills very solidly.


    After 120 years, Ye Yuan finally started refining pills.


    He refined pills differently from others; he was doing it carefree and unrestrained, and not rigidly bound to pill formulas.


    There were successes, there were failures.


    This kind of incomparably dreary life, Ye Yuan consumed it pleasantly as if taking sugarplums.


    Spring went and autumn arrived, summer left and winter came. Time passed year after year.


    Finally, one day, a hint of insight flashed across in Ye Yuan''s mind. This trace of understanding was like a bolt of lightning that tore across the sky.


    Hence, he put down the pill refining and started visualizing the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain in front of him!


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain that had no activities all along emitted a blinding light at this time.


    These lights were resplendent with a myriad of colors, beautiful and magnificent.


    Ye Yuan, who was inside of it, was akin to have fallen into a wonderland.


    He finally knocked open this door using Alchemy Dao!


    However, this was just the first step to Ye Yuan. He did not want to create a cultivation method used for refining pills.


    All along, Ye Yuan cultivated all sorts of cultivation methods, martial techniques. They started rolling around in his mind non-stop.


    Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, Evil Extermination Sword Formula, Nine Characters True Word Formula ��


    The current Ye Yuan was just like cooking a delicious dish.


    These cultivation methods and martial techniques were the ingredients, while the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was a large pot.


    Ye Yuan was immersed inside, completely forgetting the time.


    No idea how long had passed either, the elementary form of a cultivation method gradually formed in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Ye Yuan revised it continuously, perfecting, then revising again and perfecting again.


    ...


    At this moment, at the center of the Heavenspan World, all martial artists'' holy land ��- Heavenspan Mountain, it suddenly became incomparably berserk.


    A tsunami-like spiritual energy flooded down from the top of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    This wave of spiritual energy was too boundless, unable to absorb at all.


    The tremendous impact force directly sent the powerhouses currently comprehending Dao on the Heavenspan Mountain flying, miserable cries lingering on incessantly in the air.


    No matter how powerful their strength was!


    This was the true heaven and earth''s might, not what human power could contend with at all.


    An incomparably gorgeous afterglow light halo wrapped around the entire Heavenspan Mountain, making the originally mysterious Heavenspan Mountain become even more unfathomable.


    After several breaths, the Heavenspan Mountain was already devoid of people.


    "This �� What happened to the Heavenspan Mountain?"


    "Who the hell knows what happened? Ouch, your father cultivated to the True God Realm and has never fallen so badly before!"


    "Truly inconceivable! I''ve never seen before that the Heavenspan Mountain would actually give off such a terrifying Heaven''s prestige!"


    ...


    Below the Heavenspan Mountain, numerous groups of martial artists had fallen into a disorderly mess, looking very wretched.


    But what they were even more astonished at was why the Heavenspan Mountain had such a change appear.


    "Not good! The spiritual energy is flooding down! Quick, run!"


    Suddenly, someone gave a shout. Everyone all kicked off the ground and sprinted wildly.


    This incomparably majestic spiritual energy descended from the sky like an avalanche. Once buried within the spiritual energy, they would lose a layer of skin even if they did not die.


    They had never seen before such terrifying spiritual energy!


    Rumble �� !


    The spiritual energy hit the ground, gave off a massive rumble, and rippled out into the distance.


    "H-Hahaha, I''m going to break through! I''ve been stuck at the bottleneck for several tens of thousands of years already. This time, I''m finally going to break through!"


    "I''m going to break through too! Hahaha ��"


    "Didn''t expect that there will come a day when I break through to True God too! Hahaha ��"


    ...


    After the spiritual energy landed, it finally became thinner.


    Under the impact of this majestic spiritual energy, the martial artists cultivating on the Heavenspan Mountain obtained a blessing in disguise. Quite a number of people break through the bottleneck.


    Those who did not break through the bottleneck, their power also increased by a great deal.


    "Not good! Can''t break through now! Another wave of spiritual energy is rushing down!" right at this time, somebody shouted again.


    It was only to see on top of the Heavenspan Mountain, the nearly materialized spiritual energy poured down like an avalanche once more.


    ...


    At this time, above the void where everyone could not see, several voices were communicating something.


    "Life, among the few of us, you lived the longest. Can you tell us what on earth is going on?" a deep voice said.


    "Don''t know! Since this old man attained Dao, I''ve never seen before such a violent Heavenspan Mountain!" an aged voice said.


    The moment these words came out, everyone fell silent once more.


    Suddenly, someone said, "Hang on, the feeling that the Heavenspan Mountain gives me this time �� is like it''s celebrating something!"


    "Celebrating? Haha, Thunder Ancestor, are you joking? The Heavenspan Mountain is a dead object. Even though it contains the might of Heavenly Dao, how can it be possible to have human emotions? Hahaha �� this old man has no choice but to be in awe of your wild fantasies!" retorted another person immediately.


    At this time, Dao Ancestor Life suddenly opened his mouth again and said, "I feel that what Thunder Ancestor said makes some sense! You all look. This is the third wave of spiritual energy avalanche already! Once such boundless spiritual energy spreads out, who knows how many people will benefit and break through! The feeling that this gives me �� is like benefiting all life!"


    Dao Ancestor Life''s words made everyone fall silent once more.


    "But �� even if it''s as you said, even you haven''t seen the Heavenspan Mountain like this before. Why would it suddenly become like this?" someone else questioned.


    Dao Ancestor Life slowly said, "That''s because the Heavenspan Mountain has never encountered somebody or something that''s worthy of it doing so! However �� apart from the few of us, who else is worthy of it doing so?"


    Another round of silence.


    After a long time, Dao Ancestor Life raised his head up and gave a long sigh, and he said, "Heavenspan Mountain, oh Heavenspan Mountain, just what kind of existence are you? Just what is there above the mountain summit?"

 1340 Chaos Heavenspan Canon!

    \"What �� What happened? I feel like �� I''m almost unable to breathe!\"


    \"What''s the deal with this huge mountain? Why would such a giant mountain appear in the sky above Jewelhill City?\"


    \"What terrifying pressure! I �� I almost can''t resist kneeling down anymore!\"


    \"It''s the Heavenspan Mountain! This giant mountain is very similar to the Heavenspan Mountain! My God, what in the world is happening to Jewelhill City?\"


    \"It �� It wouldn''t fall down, right? If such a large mountain were to drop down, the entire Jewelhill City would probably be reduced to dust!\"


    ...


    Just as the entire Heavenspan Mountain was in chaos, when the Dao Ancestors were forced out of the Heavenspan Mountain, the whole Jewelhill City was similarly in a mess.


    Above Jewelhill City, an enormous mountain appeared bafflingly.


    That pressure faintly contained the might of Heavenly Dao, making everyone prostrate in worship.


    Not just Jewelhill City, the entire Wu Meng Capital City''s region, everyone was able to see this giant mountain.


    It was too big!


    Boundlessly huge!


    \"Elder Xuan, let''s hurry up and leave Jewelhill City! Once this giant mountain falls, none of us can escape!\" Wang Family, Wang Su''s expression changed drastically as he said.


    In close to 30 years'' time, Wang Su and Wang Xuanfeng had always stayed in the Wang Family, causing immense pressure for the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    It was just that seeing that towering Heavenspan Mountain in the sky, he seriously could not sit still anymore.


    The pressure that giant mountain brought made his two legs tremble.


    Wang Xuanfeng also looked incredibly grim as he said, \"Let''s go! Looks like this Jewelhill City can''t be preserved!\"


    After the two people conversed, they sped outside the city without even saying hello.


    Actually, it was not just them. The entire Jewelhill City''s martial artists were all fleeing outside the city.


    Currently, the city entrance was already blocked until not even a drop of water could seep through, all scrambling one after another.


    Even the city guards could not do anything about them either.


    Actually, there were quite a few city guards who also joined the ranks of escaping.


    That pressure in the sky was seriously too horrifying!


    How could the might of heaven and earth be what human strength could resist?


    At the Myriad Treasure Tower, Su Linpu and Yang Rui were similarly looking at that giant mountain in the sky, their expressions flickering incessantly.


    \"Tower Lord, aren''t we going?\" Su Linpu said.


    Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said, \"Go? Can we leave? No matter how fast our movement techniques are, we can''t possibly escape either!\"


    \"What in the world is going on? Why is it Jewelhill City?\" Su Linpu said with a belly full of puzzlement.


    \"Sigh, yeah! The Heavenspan World has countless cities, why would it appear at Jewelhill City? Could it be that �� the entire Heavenspan Mountain flew to Jewelhill City? But how is this possible?\" Yang Rui muttered.


    ...


    In a twinkle, 30 years passed in the outside world. Ye Yuan spent 300 years inside the World Suppressing Stele.


    However, right when the entire Heavenspan World was raging like a storm, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes revealed rays of brilliant light, his entire person in a state of extreme excitement.


    His current state was excellent to the extreme.


    Opposite, the Dustless in gray clothes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    Seeing him meet his eyes, he used an extremely peculiar expression and asked probingly, \"You, kid, what the hell did you do?\"


    With the cultivation method forming, Ye Yuan was currently excited. Seeing Dustless inquire, he said with a blank look, \"Did what? Senior, haven''t you been watching all along? I was creating a cultivation method that belongs to me!\"


    Dustless himself was also in a state of dumbfoundedness. He was certain that the terrifying happenings in the outside world were absolutely related to Ye Yuan!


    It was just that he did not understand what the hell Ye Yuan did, to actually be able to trigger such a terrifying heaven and earth abnormal activity.


    \"Do you know that right now, Jewelhill City is already in chaos? The Heavenspan Mountain actually appeared above Jewelhill City''s sky!'' Dustless said in immense shock.


    \"En? Heavenspan Mountain?\"


    Ye Yuan currently had a blank look when suddenly, the mountains shook and the earth trembled!


    The Heavenspan Mountain above Jewelhill City finally slowly landed!


    Rumble ��


    A boundless pressure made the entire world changed colors.


    The grand array over Jewelhill City was akin to paper under the Heavenspan Mountain.


    \"ARGHH!!\"


    In Jewelhill City, tragic cries linked up together.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, and he flashed out from inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, his expression also becoming incomparably ugly.


    \"Senior, what''s going on here?\" Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically as he talked.


    \"You''re asking me? I''m asking you! Wasn''t this thing summoned by you?\" Dustless said huffily.


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that and said, \"Me? No way, right?\"


    \"Hence I''m asking you, what the hell did you do, to actually trigger such a heavenly punishment!\" Dustless''s voice was almost shrieking.


    He was very certain that this Heavenspan Mountain was summoned by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan said depressedly, \"I �� I don''t know either! I was really creating a cultivation method and just finished!\"


    \"Heh, asked you not to mess around, you insisted on doing it! Now, you blundered, right? I want to see how you take care of it!\" Dustless said with an angry and disappointed appearance.


    Rumble!


    The Heavenspan Mountain obscured the sun. The area it covered was not just Jewelhill City, one small plot of land!


    Those people fleeing had no place to hide at all!


    In the midst of everyone''s despairing screams, the Heavenspan Mountain landed with a loud bang.


    However, it was not like everybody imagined. The end of the world did not arrive.


    That incomparably huge Heavenspan Mountain dissipated into nothing just like that.


    \"This �� What''s going on again? Where''s that giant mountain?\"


    \"H-Haha, saved! I didn''t die! I didn''t die! Hahaha ��\"


    \"Where did that giant mountain go? My God, it was too scary just now!\"


    ...


    At this time, Jewelhill City was filled with rejoicing sounds of surviving the disaster.


    Except, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, his figure flashing, returning inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space once more.


    That instant he saw the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, a feeling of being connected by blood welled up in his heart.


    He discovered that the bottom-most region of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, the color seemed to have become a little darker.


    \"Senior, I feel like �� I seem to have refined a small portion of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!\" Ye Yuan used an extremely skeptical tone and said to Dustless.


    Dustless'' gaze turned intent, and he said doubtfully, \"Brat, you mustn''t scare me! Immortal Grove obtained this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain for millions of years and also didn''t dare to say he refined it!\"


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, his mind stirring slightly.


    The massive Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was becoming small at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally, being placed above the palm by Ye Yuan!


    Seeing this scene, Dustless''s eyeballs were almost popping out.


    Ye Yuan really refined it!


    \"You �� How did you do it?\" Dustless said in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, \"I don''t know either! Senior, you don''t use this kind of expression to look at me, I really don''t know! I �� I just created the first level of the cultivation method, that''s all.\"


    Dustless was similarly speechless and could not resist asking, \"You �� Just what kind of could not resist did you create?\"


    Ye Yuan said, \"I haven''t thought of the name yet, but this cultivation method should be the most suitable for me! Uh �� This cultivation method originated from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, so I''ll call it Chaos Heavenspan Canon!\"

 1341 Terrifying Cultivation Method

    \"Chaos Heavenspan Canon?\" Dustless mulled over this name and muttered, \"Could it be that this cultivation method you created called down the Heavenspan Mountain? This �� This is impossible!\"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, \"Who cares. Either way, isn''t everybody fine right now? Uh �� Senior, how long was I in seclusion?\"


    \"Over 300 years have already passed inside the World Suppressing Stele!\"


    Dustless was still somewhat shaken from shock at this time. Before Ye Yuan entered seclusion, he said that Ye Yuan needed at least several thousand years.


    But now, Ye Yuan only used the outside world''s 30 years and created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    \"Already been 30 years? I reckon that Tower Lord Yang they all are anxious again, right?\" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Without his medicinal pills, for the Myriad Treasure Tower to want to stand out among the masses, it was really not too easy.


    Ye Yuan was just planning on leaving seclusion but was stopped by Dustless.


    \"Hang on! Your current realm has already reached the peak of initial-stage Grotto Profound. It''s just one step away from being able to break through to middle-stage! This old man wants to see just how powerful this cultivation method you created is!\" Dustless said.


    He was currently full of doubts, very curious about this cultivation method Ye Yuan created.


    What kind of cultivation method could trigger such a terrifying heaven and earth abnormal activity from the Heavenspan World?


    Ye Yuan froze when he heard that and said, \"What Senior says makes sense. It''s not late for me to leave seclusion after breaking through.\"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan flicked his long sleeves. A pile of medicinal pills appeared before his eyes.


    All of them were divine-grade Divine Essence Pills!


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, refining divine-grade Divine Essence Pills was not considered some remarkable thing anymore.


    If outsiders saw Ye Yuan''s extravagant cultivation style, they would definitely curse him for being a wastrel.


    Divine-grade Divine Essence Pills were hard to ask for in the outside world, with demand but no supply.


    But Ye Yuan ate it like broad beans!


    Actually, Ye Yuan was also very eager toward the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    Although this cultivation method was created by him, this was just the cultivation method he derived from visualization based on the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    As for how the specific results were, even he was also uncertain himself.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan started consuming a Divine Essence Pill and assaulted middle-stage Grotto Profound!


    The medicinal pill entering the abdomen, Ye Yuan refined it according to the Chaos Heavenspan Canon he created.


    Then Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed!


    \"What wrong?\" Dustless asked, rather nervously.


    Ye Yuan himself also had astonishment written all over his face as he looked at Dustless and said, \"Already refined!''


    Dustless''s eyeballs stared like wide-circles, and he said in disbelief, \"What did you say? R-Refined? You''re saying that you already refined the divine-grade Divine Essence Pill?\"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, similarly incomparably shocked as he said, \"Yeah. I just revolved the cultivation method, and the Divine Essence Pills were refined into a wisp of divine essence, entering the divine sea. Mm? hang on, the divine essence in my divine sea seems to have become lesser!\"


    With this, the two people were utterly bewildered.


    Dustless also detected it. Just now, Ye Yuan was already just a step away from middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    But in this blink of an eye, he actually became a long way off!


    \"What the hell kind of cultivation method did you create? This �� This is also too freakish, right?\"


    Even if Dustless had lots of experience and vast knowledge, it was also his first time encountering this kind of situation.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, \"Senior, although the divine essence became less, I feel that my divine essence seems to be much purer!\"


    Dustless thought about it and said, \"Try refining a Divine Essence Pill again.\"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and started doing as said.


    As soon as the Chaos Heavenspan Canon revolved, the Divine Essence Pill was refined almost instantly!


    One had to know that for ordinary martial artists, even if their cultivation method was a very heaven-defying cultivation method, refining a divine-grade Divine Essence Pill needed half a month to a month''s effort too.


    But Ye Yuan instantly refined it!


    This kind of refining speed was simply inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan discovered that the Divine Essence Pill he refined it, it could not stir up even a trace of wave when it entered his divine sea.


    He simply grabbed three Divine Essence Pills and stuffed them into his mouth, urging the Chaos Heavenspan Canon once more.


    Three pills were still too little.


    Hence, Ye Yuan refined Divine Essence Pills one after another.


    Very soon, his Divine Essence Pills were depleted fully.


    Close to 60, 70 divine-grade Divine Essence Pills were eaten completely by him like jelly beans.


    By the side, Dustless was just dumbstruck with amazement from watching.


    He had never seen before someone cultivating like Ye Yuan.


    Those were 60 to 70 Divine Essence Pills, if it were others, their divine sea would probably be stuffed till it burst.


    \"This �� This is simply a bottomless hole! You''re initial-stage Grotto Profound currently, and the expenditure is already so great. When your realm is high, then the resources expended can be extremely horrifying to describe!'' Dustless sighed emotionally as he talked.


    Ye Yuan looked at Dustless with a guileless look and said with a bitter smile, \"Looks like I can only earn money non-stop. Otherwise, with my current appetite, it really can''t fill me up!\"


    Dustless suddenly said, \"You sense your divine essence, see if there''s any changes or not?\"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, \"En, my divine essence seems to be way purer than before! Once I unleash martial techniques, the power should be able to increase several dozen percent!\"


    Dustless nodded and said, \"Then that''s right! No wonder this cultivation method of yours was able to trigger heaven and earth abnormal activity, truly remarkable! I really didn''t think that you, this brat, actually have such a heaven-defying lucky chance!\"


    Regardless of whether it was the essence energy Ye Yuan cultivated in the past or the divine essence he cultivated now.


    Martial artists'' cultivation methods were different, resulting in the purity of the divine essence within their bodies to be different as well.


    The more inferior the cultivation method, the more impurities in the divine essence absorbed as well.


    Once the cultivation time increased, the divine essence in the divine sea seemed to already be filled to the brim, but in reality, the impurities accumulated became more and more.


    Once reading the cultivation bottleneck, the effect of these impurities would be infinitely amplified, affecting the martial artist''s breakthrough from there.


    Some people were unable to break through a small bottleneck for all their lives. It was this reason!


    Pure divine essence also had many benefits, such as greatly increasing the power of the martial techniques released, such as even greater battle endurance.


    All in all, the benefits were too many to enumerate.


    A powerful martial technique could allow multiplication of the martial artist''s combat power.


    But a cultivation method determined how far this martial artist could walk in the end!


    If Ye Yuan cultivated Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s cultivation method, then it would be absolutely impossible for his accomplishments to surpass Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    What Ye Yuan wanted was not just Empyrean or Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    Regardless of whether or not there was a possibility of reaching the Dao Ancestor Realm, he had to give it a try!


    Hence, that was why he thought of creating a cultivation method belonging to him.


    Looking at it now, the effects were still pretty good.


    \"Looks like wanting to break through to middle-stage Grotto Profound, it still needs several hundred divine-grade Divine Essence Pills! Right now, the Divine Essence Pills are already depleted fully. got to go out and refine anew,\" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    According to this degree of consumption, it was simply unimaginable in the future.


    ...


    When Ye Yuan showed up at the Myriad Treasure Tower, he discovered that inside the Myriad Treasure Tower, it was stark empty, the business seemingly very bleak.


    This situation made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Even if his seclusion time was a little long, it was not to the extent of the Myriad Treasure Tower becoming like this either, right?


    Before he came, the Myriad Treasure Tower even contended with the other three great families.


    \"Hong Yin, what''s going on here? Why isn''t there a single customer in the Myriad Treasure Tower?\" Ye Yuan said to Hong Yin, who was currently snoozing.

 1342 Immortal Grove Shaken!

    At the Immortal Grove World, currently, a storm was arising!


    Traces of profound power were flowing between heaven and earth.


    The already decrepit Fang Tian suddenly opened both eyes, his eyes revealing rays of brilliant light.


    \"Senior! Senior!\"


    Bang!


    Fang Tian''s door was directly burst open by someone from outside. Teng Yun''s figure appeared in front of him.


    It was only to see Teng Yun having a look of wild ecstasy as he said, \"Senior, do �� do you feel it? H-Hahaha, we �� we''re finally able to break through to the Deity Realm!\"


    Fang Tian smiled and said, \"That''s right! Divine Dao laws have finally returned! The Immortal Grove Region gained a new lease of life and came back to life! Most importantly, we''ve confirmed that Ye Yuan is still alive now!\"


    Just earlier, Fang Tian distinctly sensed that his realm that was unable to break through for several tens of thousands of years finally had a trace of loosening up!


    Over the years, he had long already seen through the secular world and severed that trace of thought.


    He never thought that right on his deathbed, the opportunity to become a deity actually descended upon him.


    To Fang Tian, breaking through to the Deity Realm was just lightly striding out the distance of a small step.


    This Immortal Grove Region, he was bound to be the first martial artist to break through to the Deity Realm!


    Teng Yun said excitedly, \"Haha, yes! Not only is Ye Yuan alive, but he''s also living very well! Truly can''t imagine, it''s been less than 50 years, and he already regained Heavenly Dao for the Immortal Grove Region!\"


    Fang Tian had a look of relief and said, \"Yeah. These few years, I''ve always been worried about Ye Yuan''s safety and never thought about being able to break through to the Deity Realm. Ye Yuan really gave me a huge surprise!\"


    How could Fang Tian not be surprised?


    Once he broke through to the Deity Realm, his longevity would increase greatly. Living another 50 thousand years was absolutely no issue.


    More importantly, with his cultivation realm comprehensions, breaking through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm was also something sooner or later!


    At that time, his lifespan would still have an even greater increase!


    Ye Yuan really gave him a massive gift!


    Right at this time, a terrifying aura surged towards the sky. An overwhelmingly powerful divine beast pressure swept across the entire Law Enforcement Hall.


    Fang Tian''s brows raised up, and he said in surprise, \"It''s Senior Skydistant! Come, go out and take a look!\"


    Up above in the sky, an enormous black tortoise divine beast blocked out the sun and covered the sky. A horrifying pressure spread out for tens of thousands of miles.


    \"Hahaha �� Divine Dao laws finally returned! The thing that Heaven took away from me back then finally still came back! Hahaha ��\"


    Skydistant''s unbridled laughter was akin to waves of rolling thunder, rippling out, startling countless powerhouses.


    To others, even if Heavenly Dao returned, it was also impossible for them to break through to the Deity Realm right away.


    But Skydistant was originally a Deity Realm powerhouse. Heavenly Dao returning, he virtually returned to Deity Realm at the first moment.


    Furthermore, it was grand completion Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!


    \"White Light, it''s really great! Big Brother Yuan he �� he''s alright!\"


    The Li-er who had always been cool and quiet was also somewhat at a loss on what to do at this time.


    These few decades, she was practically worrying about Ye Yuan every minute and second.


    All the way until today, a large boulder in her heart finally landed.


    White Light also had an excited look and said, \"Heh, we have to step up our cultivation. Otherwise, when we reach the Heavenspan World, we''ll be dragging Big Brother down again! Heavenly Dao returning anew, I believe Big Brother''s strength probably advanced by leaps and bounds in these few decades!\"


    Li-er nodded her head, approving immensely in her heart.


    These few decades, she really did not cultivate properly before.


    Not that she did not want to, but that she was unable to calm her heart down all along.


    Now, she wished that she could enter closed-seclusion straight away and cultivate, striving to break through to Deity Realm as soon as possible.


    ...


    At the Godsfall Mountain Range, land of exile.


    The ancestor here was the same as Skydistant, also returning to the Deity Realm.


    \"Jun-er, you really gave birth to a fine son! I truly didn''t expect that he actually really did it! Looks like �� him lifting the curse and letting the clansmen walk out of here is also just a matter of time!\" said the ancestor.


    But Ao Jun sighed slightly and said, \"It''s been hard on him these few years!\"


    Ancestor smiled and said, \"You don''t let your imagination run wild now. Heavenly Dao returning, you have to cultivate well! When you break through to the Deity Realm, you''ll be able to resist a portion of the curse''s strength, your lifespan increasing greatly. Otherwise, when Yuan-er returns and discovers that his mother is already gone, wouldn''t he poke a hole in the sky?\"


    Ao Jun giggled, being tickled by the ancestor too. Nodding, she smiled and said, \"What Ancestor said is right. With his temper, he might really do that.\"


    While at this time, Kunwu looked in the direction of the World Locking Gate and murmured, \"That boy really made it there safely! However �� what on earth did he do there? It''s just been 50 years, could it be that he already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm? That''s impossible! Sigh, really envious of Dustless that old fart, to be able to follow there.\"


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan had to reach Divine Lord Realm before he could deliver Heavenly Dao and mystic qi to the Immortal Grove World through the two great empyrean spirit treasures.


    But it had just been 50 years, and Ye Yuan did it.


    Only 50 years to break through from initial-stage Grotto Profound to Divine Lord Realm, this was simply nonsense!


    ...


    \"Ahh! S-Sir Ye, you finally exited seclusion!\"


    Hong Yin was startled, only then realizing that it was Ye Yuan. She was extremely surprised.


    \"Mm, the closed-seclusion this time reached a critical moment, so the time was a bit long. What''s wrong with the Myriad Treasure Tower, why isn''t there a single customer in this hall?\" Ye Yuan asked.


    \"Isn''t it still the Wang Family! Ever since Sir took care of the Wang Family, they were very low-profile the first few years, low-key until they were almost non-existent anymore. But later on, they invited a Two-star Alchemy God from Brightraise City''s main family, snatching away the Myriad Treasure Tower''s glory all at once! These few years, our Myriad Treasure Tower was jointly suppressed by the City Lord Manor and Wang Family. We are already almost unable to hold on anymore,\" Hong Yin said urgently.


    \"Two-star Alchemy God? Heh, the Wang Family really played a big move, to actually even move out a Two-star Alchemy God! It looks like we were still too benevolent previously!\" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    With Ye Yuan''s temperament, after the incident last time, he would have destroyed the Wang Family.


    However, Ye Yuan considered Jewelhill City''s situation and knew that once he made a move against the Wang Family, the City Lord Manor would definitely have to intervene, so he let them off.


    He Did not expect that they did not repent and correct their mistakes. It went from bad to worse instead.


    \"Sir Ye, that Two-star Alchemy God of theirs is very formidable. Not only did he push forth divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, he even rolled out heaven-grade Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills! They are trying to exterminate us once and for all!\" Hong Yin said indignantly.


    Inviting a Two-star Alchemy God already broke Jewelhill City''s unspoken rules. The Myriad Treasure Tower naturally could not fend off.


    Ye Yuan said curiously, \"The Myriad Treasure Tower is Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s business. Since the Wang Family invited a Two-star Alchemy God, why doesn''t Tower Lord Yang invite a Two-star Alchemy God from the higher-ups?\"


    Hong Yin said helplessly when she heard this, \"Sir doesn''t know this. Our Myriad Treasure Tower is very weak in the entire Wu Meng Capital City area. Not only do we have to bear extremely heavy taxes, but there are also even all kinds of restrictions. Hence, Two-star and above Alchemy Gods are all scarce resources. Normally, they are all allocated to some larger counties. These few years, Tower Lord has also requested from them, but Jewelhill City, this kind of small place, the higher-ups simply just turned a blind eye and let us run our own course.\"

 1343 Essence Cultivating Pill

    Although he had long guessed a little, the Myriad Treasure Tower being so miserable still made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower was a Heavenly Emperor''s business, to actually perform so miserably.


    \"So, we can only rely on our own efforts?\" Ye Yuan said.


    Hong Yin nodded helplessly and said, \"It''s this logic! But �� they have a Two-star Alchemy God! We can''t win this battle, no matter what!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"A Two-star Alchemy God sounds impressive, but in Jewelhill City, those that can use up to Two-star divine pills, and can afford to use them, how many are there?\"


    Hong Yin said, \"But the Wang Family''s Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills'' quality are all very high. They already squeezed us to the point of death.\"


    Ye Yuan said with a nod, \"En, Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills are indeed a problem. Looks like I''ll have to break through earlier.\"


    Hong Yin was stupefied, somewhat uncertain what it meant.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, \"Alright, I''ll go and meet Tower Lord. Oh, right, is Miss Wanru still alright?\"


    Mentioning Miss Wanru, Hong Yin smiled and said, \"Couldn''t be better! Miss Wanru''s martial arts talent is really very incredible. Her strength already surpassed mine now!\"


    Ye Yuan''s brows shot up, and he said, \"She improved so quickly?\"


    Liang Wanru breaking through to the Deity Realm was also just a matter of these few decades. But Hong Yin was a Deity Realm powerhouse long ago.


    In a short few decades, Liang Wanru surpassed Hong Yin. This kind of improvement speed could be described using terrifying.


    Hong Yin suddenly changed to a wistful expression and said, \"Yeah, I''m already no longer Wanru''s match now! I say, Sir, you saved Wanru and also discarded her to one side without caring. It doesn''t seem to be too good to her, right? Our Wanru thinks about you every day until she''s infatuated!\"


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that, shook his head, and said, \"Don''t talk nonsense. This Ye''s heart is long committed already. I saved Miss Wanru just because she''s my savior and didn''t mix in the feelings of men and women.\"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan directly turned around and left, leaving Hong Yin behind with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan felt his head swell too. His own affairs had yet to be sorted out, did not expect to leave behind a love debt again here.


    It was just that Liang Wanru was his savior, Ye Yuan could not sit by idly and remain indifferent no matter what.


    He owed Li-er and Mu Lingxue too much and could no longer accommodate others in his heart.


    \"Looks like I''ll have to reduce contact with Miss Wanru in the future. Otherwise, she''ll probably fall deeper and deeper,\" Ye Yuan muttered to himself helplessly.


    ...


    When Yang Rui saw Ye Yuan, it was like seeing a bright light in the darkness.


    \"Oh my! Younger Brother Ye, if you still didn''t leave seclusion, our Myriad Treasure Tower would have to close down shop for good!\" Yang Rui pulled Ye Yuan and said.


    Under this situation currently, Ye Yuan was his only hope.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Tower Lord need not worry. The Myriad Treasure Tower''s matters, I''ve already learned from Hong Yin there.\"


    Yang Rui''s gaze glinted. At first it was a pleasant surprise. But very soon, it was doubt again as he said, \"You really have a way? But �� it seems like there''s still a very long way to go from the middle-stage Grotto Profound!\"


    Want to refine Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills, one naturally required their strength to reach the middle-grade Grotto Profound first.


    The disparity between Deity Realm powerhouses was too great. Wanting to leap realms and refine divine pills, that was virtually something impossible.


    After Ye Yuan cultivated the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, his realm did not increase, but fell instead, looking almost the same as before he went into closed-seclusion.


    Therefore, Yang Rui expressed doubt toward Ye Yuan''s words.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Tower Lord rest assured, you just send the word out. Our Myriad Treasure Tower is going to roll out a brand new Tier 1 divine pills. The effects are double compared to the Essence Increasing Pill, the price unchanged! Additionally, this kind of medicinal pill is available in all varieties, from low-grade to divine-grade!\"


    Every time Ye Yuan said a word, Yang Rui would be a degree shocked in his heart.


    Essence Increasing Pill was a medicinal pill that middle-stage Grotto Profound used to cultivate. The medicinal efficacy was even greater than the Divine Essence Pill.


    When martial artists took Divine Essence Pills until it had no more effect, they would normally choose to buy Essence Increasing Pills.


    The journey of cultivation, without the assistance of medicinal pills, it was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Not many had Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying means, to be able to refine divine-grade medicinal pills unceasingly.


    Hence, they could only purchase higher-level medicinal pills.


    Talking solely on medicinal effects, the medicinal effects of divine-grade Divine Essence Pills were about the same as high-grade Essence Increasing Pills.


    However, divine-grade Divine Essence Pills were much more expensive than high-grade Essence Increasing Pills. The reason was that divine-grade medicinal pills could be consumed limitlessly.


    It was just that to the vast majority of martial artists, divine-grade medicinal pills were just of little help.


    Even if they could afford divine-grade Divine Essence Pills, it was also not possible to consume it long-term.


    Therefore, divine-grade medicinal pills were generally just a gimmick. Those who really purchased them were actually not many.


    After Wang Xuanfeng came to the Wang Family, he rolled out several kinds of heaven-grade Tier 1 middle-grade divine pills, which were naturally very popular.


    Jewelhill City''s alchemists purely had to hit the jackpot to refine heaven-grade divine pills.


    But Ye Yuan actually said that he was going to launch a brand new kind of Tier 1 divine pills. This made Yang Rui shocked until his jaws dropped.


    \"Younger Brother Ye, you �� you can''t joke around with me, right? D-Double the effect of the Essence Increasing Pill? Why have I never heard of such a medicinal pill before?\"


    Yang Rui felt that Ye Yuan must be joking.


    Even in Wu Meng Capital City, the cultivation medicinal pills that middle-stage Grotto Profound used were also Essence Increasing Pills.


    He had never heard before what kind of medicinal pill''s medicinal properties was double that of the Essence Increasing Pill!


    Furthermore, the price was even the same as the Essence Increasing Pill.


    This was truly too fantastical.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, \"It''s also very normal for Tower Lord to not have heard of it before. This divine pill''s name is called Essence Cultivating Pill. This Ye saw this medicinal pill in a very ancient classic record. If Tower Lord feel worried about this Ye, then Tower Lord can also promote it again after waiting for this Ye to refine it.\"


    Ye Yuan giving Yang Rui a heads-up right now was naturally in order to garner eyeballs and let the Essence Cultivating Pill''s temperature heat up first.


    This way, it was naturally beneficial to the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business.


    If launching it after refining, they would naturally lose the initiative in terms of time.


    Actually, this Essence Cultivating Pill was not what Ye Yuan saw in some records. It was not even taught to him by Dustless.


    This Essence Cultivating Pill was a pill formula Ye Yuan created when he entered Dao with alchemy!


    Ye Yuan never adhered rigidly to pill formulas when refining pills.


    The majority of alchemists, when refining pills, all of them refined according to pill formulas, familiarizing with the medicinal properties through pill formulas.


    But Ye Yuan''s focus was always on the spirit medicines, comprehending pills formulas with spirit medicines as the foundation.


    If not for so, he would also be unable to create the Dao Defying Pill, that kind of heaven-defying pill formula.


    When at the Immortal Grove Region, he already created numerous pill formulas.


    Now, Ye Yuan entered Dao with alchemy, creating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, this cultivation method, his understanding toward Alchemy Dao also became even deeper.


    Coupled with that, he already fully grasped those several thousand kinds of Tier 1 spirit medicines'' medicinal properties, creating a few pill formulas was nothing much to Ye Yuan.


    The Essence Cultivating Pill was one of them.


    Yang Rui''s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, \"Younger Brother Ye, this brother doesn''t mean that, don''t you misunderstood me! It''s just that Younger Brother''s words are too shocking, that''s why this brother would be so astonished.\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Tower Lord don''t have to stand on ceremony. For this Ye to be able to have today, it was all thanks to the Myriad Treasure Tower. This Ye isn''t someone who shows ingratitude for kindness, why would I get angry because of this small matter?\"

 1344 Giving It to You

    \"Did you guys hear? The Myriad Treasure Tower already let out the word. They are going to launch a new kind of medicinal pill called �� called what again?\"


    \"Essence Cultivating Pill!\"


    \"Right, right, right! It''s Essence Cultivating Pill! Goodness gracious, it''s remarkable! I heard that this Essence Cultivating Pill''s medicinal effects are double that of the Essence Increasing Pill!\"


    \"You believe that too? Do you think that it''s selling cabbages at the market? Do you know what kind of concept double is?\"


    \"Makes sense. I reckon that it''s the Myriad Treasure Tower can''t sustain anymore, deliberately coming up with this gimmick to attract customers. Honestly speaking, our Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower is indeed a little weak.\"


    \"Mm, but in order to compete with the Myriad Treasure Tower, the Wang Family benefited us, these bottom-level martial artists. Whether or not the Myriad Treasure Tower can stir up any wave, we''ll just wait and see.\"


    ...


    The word that the Myriad Treasure Tower let out continued brewing in Jewelhill City.


    But the majority of the people were not optimistic about the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Essence Cultivating Pill, this medicinal pill, nobody had heard of it before at all.


    At least, within the entire Wu Meng Capital City''s area, no one had heard of such a heaven-defying medicinal pill before.


    Even when Yang Rui heard Ye Yuan''s words, he had a look of disbelief, let alone these ordinary martial artists.


    At the Wang Family''s residence, numerous high-level members were all scoffing at this matter.


    \"Elder Xuan, in your opinion, how great are the chances of the Myriad Treasure Tower being able to bring out this Essence Cultivating Pill?\" Wang Su asked.


    Wang Xuanfeng stroked his beard and smiled, saying disdainfully, \"In my view, not even 10%! The Essence Increasing Pill''s formula has been circulated in the Heavenspan World for no less than a hundred million years. It had long been developed to the limits already. How can a medicinal pill even stronger than it possibly appears? Take ten thousand steps back, even if that kid really has the ability to defy the heavens and improve the pill formula, increasing 5% on top of the current foundation is already reaching the acme of perfection. Double the medicinal efficacy, hur hur, nonsense!\"


    Hearing Wang Xuanfeng''s words, the last trace of doubt in everyone''s hearts also dissipated into nothing.


    \"Since that''s the case, then it''s the Myriad Treasure Tower that''s at the end of its ropes?\" Wang Yuxiang said.


    Wang Xuanfeng smiled and said, \"I think they should be failing already. All these years, they have probably reached the limit already.\"


    Wang Xuanfeng''s words made everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.


    This fierce battle that had lasted for close to 30 years could finally end.


    Finally, it still ended with the Myriad Treasure Tower''s defeat.


    Wang Yuxiang said joyfully, \"Squeezing away the Myriad Treasure Tower, it was all thanks to Sir Su and Elder Xuan! Once the Myriad Treasure Tower leaves, Sir Su and Elder Xuan''s cultivation resources will be fully covered by Jewelhill City''s branch family!\"


    \"Huhu, Elder Yuxiang don''t need to be courteous, Jewelhill City''s branch family and Brightraise City''s main family are of the same breath and branch, bound together for good or ill,\" Wang Su said with a laugh.


    Wang Yuxiang was slightly fearful in his heart, secretly alarmed by this Wang Su''s experience and cunningness.


    These words sounded like it was refusing, and also like accepting, leaving you scratching your head. It was equivalent to not saying anything.


    But not saying was equivalent to saying it.


    Brightraise City''s main family''s young generation, the competition was very fierce too.


    For Wang Su to want to charge out of the heavy encirclement, it inevitably could not dispense with the support of resources from all around.


    Therefore, saying these words were actually equivalent to accepting Jewelhill City''s branch family''s drawing closer.


    Wang Yuxiang was a figure who became shrewd with age as well. He naturally would not fail to discern the meaning of Wang Su''s words.


    \"Sir Su, Elder Xuan, once the Myriad Treasure Tower falls, our Jewelhill City branch family''s grudge can be avenged!\" A glimmer of cold light flashed across in Wang Yuxiang''s eyes.


    Wang Xuanfeng smiled and said, \"That is, of course! That kid is merely a guest alchemist. With the two of us around, Yang Rui won''t dare to be impudent too.\"


    Once the Myriad Treasure Tower withdrew, Ye Yuan would be a rootless duckweed.


    How he was to be kneaded, wasn''t it still up to others?


    The Wang Family had two mighty Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses. Wasn''t dealing with a Ye Yuan capturing with ease?


    ...


    Half a month later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.


    When Yang Rui saw Ye Yuan, he could not help jumping in fright, an expression like having seen a ghost.


    \"You �� How did you break through?\"


    Half a month ago, Ye Yuan was clearly still a long way off from middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    Half a month later, he broke through?


    This kind of speed was also a little too fast, right?


    Ordinary martial artists cultivating, from initial-stage Grotto Profound to middle-stage Grotto Profound, it needed several thousand years no matter what.


    Even geniuses with exceedingly good talent, extremely powerful cultivation methods, under the accumulation of large quantities of medicinal pills, it also needed to expend several hundred year''s time.


    Before leaving seclusion the last time, Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed was not so astonishing yet.


    But this time, it was truly a bit too fast.


    Breaking through in 15 days, could it be that there was no bottleneck?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Had some enlightenment during the previous closed-seclusion. The closed-seclusion this time, broke through the bottleneck in one shot. Tower Lord knows it. Not only do I have divine-grade Divine Essence Pills on me, but also there are even divine-grade Essence Cultivating Pills.\"


    Yang Rui trembled all over, and he said in surprise, \"You really refined the Essence Cultivating Pill?\"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, \"Could it be that tower lord really thought that I was joking with you? You look!\"


    A small medicinal bottle appeared in Ye Yuan''s hand. Upon opening, medicinal fragrance overflowed.


    Such plentiful medicinal strength!


    Yang Rui received the medicinal pill with pleasant surprise and examined it carefully.


    When laying eyes on this Essence Cultivating Pill for the first time, Yang Rui was incomparably certained in his heart that the Myriad Treasure Tower would survive!


    Even though it was impossible to judge the strength of the medicinal strength from the appearance, that abundant medicinal strength filled him with confidence.


    \"Younger Brother, can �� can I try it?\" Yang Rui asked with some agitation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Of course you can!\"


    Yang Rui sent the medicinal pill into his mouth with a slight fluster. Once the medicinal entered the mouth, a surge of majestic medicinal strength instantly filled the whole body.


    He clearly felt his divine essence that had not moved for a long time actually have a slight trace of increase!


    This discovery made Yang Rui incomparably shocked.


    Logically speaking, with his realm, this level of medicinal pill was already completely useless to him.


    Even if Ye Yuan claimed that this medicinal pill''s medicinal efficacy was double of the Essence Increasing Pill!


    But that sort of feeling absolutely would not be wrong.


    His divine essence really had a slight trace of increase!


    When the Su Linpu by the side saw that the expression on Yang Rui''s face was extremely fascinating, he could not resist asking, \"How is it, Tower Lord?\"


    Yang Rui ignored him, but turned towards Ye Yuan with a look of wild ecstasy and said, \"Younger Brother Ye, you''re really exceptional! I can be sure that as soon as this medicinal pill is rolled out, probably the entire Heavenspan World will go crazy because of it! This Essence Cultivating Pill truly brings benefits to the entire Heavenspan World''s bottom-level martial artists!\"


    Su Linpu''s expression changed, sighing with amazement.


    The weight of Yang Rui''s words were too heavy!


    Benefiting the entire Heavenspan World, it could be seen that this medicinal pill was absolutely heaven-defying to the max.


    This evaluation was too high!


    But Ye Yuan smiled and fished out a jade slip, saying with a smile, \"This is the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula, I''ll give it to Tower Lord. These few years, this Ye received the Myriad Treasure Tower''s great grace. I have nothing to repay it with. I''ll use this Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula as payment.\"


    Yang Rui''s entire body trembled, using an extremely skeptical gaze to look at Ye Yuan and said, \"Younger Brother Ye, you �� you aren''t joking, right? Do you really not know what this Essence Cultivating Pill means?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"It''s precisely because I know it. Hence, that''s why I''m giving it to Tower Lord.\"

 1345 Sold Ou

    Yang Rui gave Ye Yuan a profound glance and found that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a smile.


    He was startled inwardly and understood very quickly why Ye Yuan did it.


    This boy has such meticulous thoughts. Gifting pill formula, this move is simply beautiful to the extreme! Yang Rui praised Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Even Yang Rui could discern the significance of this pill formula, so how could the others not perceive it?


    Once this Essence Cultivating Pill spread out, it would definitely be like a plague, spreading throughout the entire Heavenspan World.


    That way, the Essence Cultivating Pill was not only not a good thing to Ye Yuan, but it also became a hot potato instead.


    So much so that it would invite a fatal disaster.


    But, if the Myriad Treasure Tower possessed the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula, it was completely different.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower was Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s business. People who dared to have ideas on his business were really not many.


    Even those true powerhouses would not find trouble with Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure because of a measly little Tier 1 middle-grade pill formula either.


    This first point was Ye Yuan''s wise and discreet self-preserving move.


    The second point, just as Ye Yuan said himself, it was in order to repay the kindness.


    It was just that this big gift was a little too heavy.


    Once the Essence Cultivating Pill is released, the Myriad Treasure Tower would definitely be able to sweep across Jewelhill City like crushing dead leaves.


    And Yang Rui contributing the pill formula to the Myriad Treasure Tower would definitely obtain the upper echelons'' substantial rewards.


    This favor could not be said to not be big!


    Of course, Yang Rui understood that if it was in order to keep discreetly out of harm''s way, Ye Yuan could completely not take this pill formula out.


    As long as he did not take it out, everything had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.


    This way, it was sufficient to see that Ye Yuan was someone who valued relationships greatly.


    He only took out such a bombshell in order to save the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Yang Rui sucked in a deep breath and said, \"Younger Brother Ye, I understand! In the future, we''ll address each other as brothers. This favor, Elder Brother, I, received it!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Then I''ll be haughty and call Brother Yang. Brother Yang, this Essence Cultivating Pill''s refinement is rather difficult. If Elder Song has any areas he doesn''t understand, you can have him come find me.\"


    Yang Rui nodded and said, \"Okay, no problem.\"


    Elder Song was the new One-star Alchemy God that upstairs sent.


    It was just that after he came, it did not change the Myriad Treasure Tower''s predicament at all.


    ...


    \"F*ck me, came late again! You bunch of animals, it''s also too early, right?\"


    \"The Myriad Treasure Tower is going to release another batch of Essence Cultivating Pill today. Not coming earlier, can''t even drink a mouthful of soup.\"


    \"Damn it, I''ll give you 50 divine essence stones, you give your place to me, how''s that?\"


    \"Screw off! Want to buy my place with just 50 divine essence stones? 500, not a single piece fewer! Furthermore, after you buy the Essence Cultivating Pill, you must share with me one, I''ll buy at the original price!\"


    \"Go to hell, you!\"


    ...


    As soon as the Essence Cultivating Pill rolled out, it was immediately like a tornado, instantly sweeping across the entire Jewelhill City.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower''s door was almost burst open.


    Ye Yuan made use of that half a month''s time and refined a large batch of Essence Cultivating Pills.


    The rest, he did not care.


    In operations, Yang Rui and Su Linpu were clearly much more experienced than him.


    The two people formulated a series of promotion tricks, recruiting three groups of martial artists outside to test the pill for free.


    In the first batch, quite a number of people harbored doubtful attitudes. Those who really came to test the pill were not many.


    But it was precisely after this first batch of people tested the pill, the Essence Cultivating Pill''s reputation blew up in one go!


    The Essence Cultivating Pill was a brand new kind of medicinal pill. Consuming this medicinal pill the first time, the effects were the most apparent.


    Even though everyone doubted the Essence Cultivating Pill''s medicinal effects, the people who paid attention were a lot.


    After all, the Myriad Treasure Tower already let out the big talk.


    But after the few people testing the pill consumed the Essence Cultivating Pill, the results were immediate, their auras surging immensely on the spot.


    This kind of effect was absolutely what the Essence Increasing Pill could not attain.


    The people who tested the pills were like having picked up a treasure, all incomparably excited.


    With this, it stirred up everyone''s appetite.


    Hence, the slots for the second batch and third batch of pill testing, everyone went crazy.


    Someone auctioned it off at a high price when they obtained the slot to test the pills.


    It was said that the highest price was auctioned at 10 thousand pieces of low-grade divine essence stones!


    After three batches of pill testing, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s sales immediately became explosive to the max.


    A never-before explosive!


    Same price, but medicinal effect was double of the Essence Increasing Pill, who would still go and buy the Essence Increasing Pill?


    Hence, not just the Wang Family, inside the Lu Family and Lin Family''s shops, it virtually became completely deserted overnight.


    Wang Family, everyone all became ants on a hot pan, all going in circles anxiously.


    \"Elder Xuan, didn''t you say that it was absolutely impossible for the Essence Cultivating Pill to exist? Now, we don''t have any response measures at all, and are very passive!\" Wang Su grumbled.


    Wang Xuanfeng''s face was also very ugly. Of course, even more, it was an embarrassment.


    He said with certainty previously, declaring that it was absolutely impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower to refine whatever Essence Cultivating Pill.


    Now, this face was smacked resoundingly loud!


    In reality, Wang Su knew that even if the Wang Family responded in advance, facing the Essence Cultivating Pill''s powerful offensive, they were still at a complete loss as to what to do.


    \"This can''t blame me either! Do you all know what this Essence Cultivating Pill''s appearance means?\" Wang Xuanfeng said.


    \"It means that our Jewelhill City''s branch family can''t hold on anymore!\" Wang Su said crossly


    These few decades, in order to challenge the Myriad Treasure Tower, the Wang Family''s expenditures were tremendous too.


    They were originally planning on dominating Jewelhill City after exhausting the Myriad Treasure Tower to death.


    But they did not expect that they did not exhaust the Myriad Treasure Tower to death, but instead, let the Myriad Treasure Tower deal a head-on blow!


    This blow was too vicious. It might directly smack them to death.


    Wang Xuanfeng smiled coldly and said, \"Foolish! Wang Su, your horizons are too shallow! How can you take on major responsibilities in the future? In my view, this Essence Cultivating Pill''s appearance is going to affect the entire Heavenspan World! Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure will make use of this medicinal pill to amass countless riches!\"


    Wang Su smiled coldly and said, \"Heh, Elder Su, do you think I haven''t considered this point? It''s just, do you feel that that boy named Ye Yuan will hand over the pill formula? This pill formula''s value simply can''t be estimated! Facing such huge profits, who would easily spit it out?\"


    Wang Xuanfeng froze. He did not think of this layer.


    Wang Su looked at Wang Xuanfeng and continued: \"Therefore, this kid is digging his own grave! Don''t look at how they are rejoicing right now. Before long, that boy and the Myriad Treasure Tower will definitely lose all decorum! When the time comes, heh heh!\"


    Hearing Wang Su''s analysis made Wang Xuanfeng and the rest kindle hope once more.


    Wang Yuxiang said, \"Then Sir Su''s meaning is �� we continue to hold, hold until they fall out?\"


    Wang Su nodded his head and said, \"That''s right!\"


    Wang Yuxiang''s expression was ugly as he said, \"But our Jewelhill City''s branch family can''t compete with the Myriad Treasure Tower''s vast wealth after all. These few years, we''ve already depleted all of our resources. Continuing to stall, I''m afraid that the Myriad Treasure Tower hasn''t fallen, and our Wang Family will collapse first!\"


    Wang Su had stayed in Jewelhill City for several decades and naturally had an understanding of the Wang Family''s financial resources.


    He thought about it and said, \"These two days, I''ll ask for help from the main family, have them support Jewelhill City''s branch family! The war is already fought until now, just see who can last longer!\"

 1346 A Lucky Chance

    \"Elder Feng, how is it? You refined it?\"


    The one asking was Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s Han Tian. The old man opposite him was the Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist, Three-star Alchemy Master, Xiao Feng.


    Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a bitter smile, \"This old man has cultivated Alchemy Dao for tens of thousands of years. I''ve never thought that I actually can''t even refine a Tier 1 middle-grade divine pill!\"


    Han Tian''s shock was by no means insignificant, and he said, \"Failed? This �� This isn''t possible, right? A mere Tier 1 middle-grade divine pill, even you, this peak Three-star Alchemy God, actually can''t refine it?\"


    Half a month ago, Han Tian received the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula that Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower transported over through back channels.


    After receiving Yang Rui''s intel, Han Tian immediately realized a huge business opportunity.


    Hence, he started mobilizing Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s alchemists and started refining the Essence Cultivating Pill according to the pill formula.


    But he discovered very quickly that he was too naive!


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was short on manpower, there were still some Two-star Alchemy Gods.


    But among these Two-star Alchemy Gods, there was actually not a single person capable of refining the Essence Cultivating Pill.


    In amazement, Han Tian found a Three-star Alchemy God to refine. The result was still the same!


    In the end, Han Tian, who was out of options, finally engaged Three-star Alchemy God, Xiao Feng.


    But what astonished him was that even Xiao Feng actually failed!


    Was this Essence Cultivating Pill so hard to refine?


    Xiao Feng let out a sigh and said, \"This pill formula seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth. If without extremely deep comprehensions toward Alchemy Dao, it''s impossible to refine one. This old man �� is still lacking some level of attainment.\"


    Actually, he was already very close to success. It was just too bad that no matter what, he could not break through that final checkpoint.


    When Han Tian heard these words, he could not help losing heart.


    When he just obtained the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula, he even thought that he picked up a treasure. But looking at it now, it was purely of little value.


    If it could not be refined, what could be done even if this pill formula was any more impressive?


    \"I didn''t expect that it was actually drawing water with a sieve! Sigh ��\" Han Tian said helplessly.


    Xiao Feng thought about it and said, \"Tower Lord, I have an idea.\"


    Han Tian said listlessly, \"What idea Elder Feng has, feel free to say.\"


    Xiao Feng said, \"I wish to make a trip to Jewelhill City!\"


    Han Tian froze and hurriedly shook his head and said, \"This isn''t appropriate, right? Elder Feng, your status is exalted. How can you condescend your exalted self to that kind of secular place? You want to meet that guest alchemist called Ye Yuan, right? If you wish to meet, I''ll just send people to fetch him here.\"


    To them, Jewelhill City, this sort of place was not worth them heading there at all.


    But Xiao Feng shook his head and said, \"That''s not right, Tower Lord! As it goes: those who reached first can teach. Since that Ye Yuan already refined the Essence Cultivating Pill, it indicates that his understanding of alchemy must be deeper than mine! At least on the refinement of Tier 1 divine pills, I''m inferior to him! This kind of figure is bound to surpass this old man in the future, we should give him adequate courtesy! Such a genius, once employed by our Myriad Treasure Tower, he''ll definitely be a pillar of the Myriad Treasure Tower in the future!\"


    Han Tian thought about it and said with a nod, \"Elder Feng''s words make sense. Then �� I''ll have to trouble Elder Feng to make a trip! If possible, you must bring him to Wu Meng Capital City!\"


    Xiao Feng said, \"Huhu, not a trouble at all! I have a feeling that perhaps �� this trip is a lucky chance for me.\"


    ...


    Half a year''s time passed in a twinkle since the Myriad Treasure Tower launched the Essence Cultivating Pill.


    In this half a year''s time, the shops of Wang Family, Lin Family, and Lu Family were all completely devoid of people.


    The launch of the Essence Cultivating Pill was a virtually catastrophic blow to them.


    The Lin Family and Lu Family were still a little better. But the Wang Family was already spending more than they earned.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower and Ye Yuan''s split that Wang Su said with certainty, they kept failing to see it.


    This half a year''s time, Ye Yuan spent it very cozily.


    Apart from refining a batch of Essence Cultivating Pill every day, it was cultivating inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, comprehending concepts.


    This half a year also made Yang Rui crazy with delight.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower could be described with the saying bringing in bushels of gold daily!


    Every day, Yang Rui was immersed in the midst of shock.


    He had a score in his heart, the divine essence stones that the Myriad Treasure Tower earned in this half a year could virtually be placed in the same category as Brightraise City, that kind of large county.


    Finally, the Wang Family could not sit still anymore.


    At this time, Wang Su was currently at Jewelhill City''s City Lord Manor.


    \"Huhu, Younger Brother Wang Su, how have you been! I heard that your brother, Wang Song, already broke through to late-stage Heaven Glimpse, right?\" City Lord Chen Yongnian said with a laugh.


    Wang Su smiled and said, \"Brother Chen''s intel is very up to date! His breakthrough was also a thing of last year.\"


    Chen Yongnian said with an envious look, \"Wang Song''s talent is exceedingly high and also has the Wang Family as a backer. Unlike us impoverished people, we have got to be busy with secular affairs every day!\"


    Wang Su smiled and said, \"Brother Chen, you''re the lord of a city, wielding great power in your hands. Other people are all too envious!\"


    Chen Yongnian chuckled and said, \"Younger Brother Wang Su coming this time, it''s not for no reason, right?\"


    Wang Su silently cursed this sly old fox, but he still had a smile on his face as he said, \"That is, of course, But �� the matter of cultivation, Brother Chen doesn''t have to worry either. As long as Jewelhill City''s Wang Family pulls through this crisis, Brother Chen''s cultivation will be covered by Elder Yuxiang, don''t �� you agree?\"


    Wang Yuxiang by the side hurriedly said, \"That is, of course! In the past, it was our Wang Family who couldn''t do it. We hope that City Lord, Your Excellency, is magnanimous enough to forgive us. This time, our Wang Family prepared a slight gift, just take it as an apology.\"


    Wang Yuxiang''s heart was dripping blood. Even if the Wang Family tides over this disaster, the largest share of their income in the future would probably have to be used to pay tributes.


    Wang Su, Wang Xuanfeng, and now, throwing in another Chen Yongnian, this expenditure was too great.


    Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artists were still a little better. But Wang Xuanfeng and Chen Yongnian were both Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm martial artists.


    Their expenditure, to the Wang Family, the pressure was still huge.


    But compared to the Wang Family collapsing entirely, clearly this result, he could still accept.


    All of this was brought by Ye Yuan that punk.


    Wang Yuxiang had long hated Ye Yuan to the bones in his heart.


    This Chen Yongnian was Wu Meng Academy''s same-year students with Wang Su''s elder brother, Wang Song.


    Wu Meng Academy was Wu Meng Capital City''s government-managed school.


    The students that graduated from here were mostly dukes or princes of a region, representing the various major counties managed by Wu Meng Capital City.


    After the two people came out of Wu Meng Academy, one came to the remote Jewelhill City to be city lord, while the other became deputy city lord at Brightraise City.


    Although one was head and one was deputy, because the cities were different, their statuses were naturally different too.


    Wang Song, this deputy city lord, had a higher position and more authority compared to Chen Yongnian, this city lord.


    Furthermore, Wang Song broke through to the late-stage Heaven Glimpse first. Later on, he might even be placed in an important position in Wu Meng Capital City.


    To talk about this Chen Yongnian, he was also an extremely shrewd and wily old fox.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower and Wang Family''s struggle, he naturally took it into his sights. But bade his time all along, waiting for the Wang Family to come and find him.


    Now, the Wang Family indeed could not hold on anymore.


    Even though he was the city lord, the various major families'' taxes, he had to turn it over to higher authorities. The City Lord Manor still had enormous expenditures. What he could have from the leftover was naturally not much.


    Hence, that was why he would use this kind of method to make the Wang Family take the initiative to pay tributes to him.


    These were filling his own pockets.


    \"Huhu, Elder Yuxiang is too courteous. You all coming to find this city lord this time, is it because of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s matters?\" Only now did Chen Yongnian lay his cards on the table.

 1347 You Dont Say, How Would I Know?

    \"A banquet with hidden dangers! Ye Yuan, this banquet, you mustn''t go!\" Yang Rui said solemnly.


    At this time, Yang Rui and Ye Yuan both received an invitation in their hands.


    These two invitations were issued by City Lord Manor.


    The four families fought for so long, City Lord Manor had always remained silent.


    This time, they were finally making a move.


    It was just that Ye Yuan received an invitation too. This made Yang Rui very uneasy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Just go. Why shouldn''t I go? They are aiming at the Essence Cultivating Pill. If I don''t go, this matter will probably never end.\"


    Yang Rui naturally knew that they were aiming at the Essence Cultivating Pill. But if Ye Yuan went, he felt uneasy.


    Those going this time were all experts. He could not protect Ye Yuan by himself.


    \"I know, but �� I''m afraid that this invitation will be detrimental to you!\" Yang Rui said.


    \"No way, right? This time, it''s the city lord coming forward personally. No matter how courageous their few families are, they also don''t dare to act wildly in front of the city lord, right?\" Ye Yuan said puzzledly.


    Yang Rui sighed and said, \"You don''t know this. That Wang Su, who came from the Wang Family''s main family, his elder brother came out of Wu Meng Academy with City Lord Chen Yongnian. Before you exited seclusion, the City Lord Manor actually suppressed us directly and indirectly, the intentions are already very obvious.\"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, and he said, \"You''re saying that they are acting in collusion, all targeting us?\"


    Yang Rui nodded and said, \"If barring no accidents, it should be so! Hence, for the sake of your safety, you''d better not go!\"


    The complexity of Jewelhill City''s situation exceeded Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    However, this could not scare him.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Since they are already riding on top of our heads, we can''t avoid it no matter what. Not going today, they will always have a way to come and find trouble again. Rather than that, might as well take this opportunity, everybody lay it out on the table, that''s better.\"


    Yang Rui said anxiously, \"Goodness, why are you so obstinate? That City Lord Chen Yongnian is a middle-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse. Once he steels his heart to deal with you, I can''t stop him!\"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, \"Tower Lord is overly concerned. Even if they have that layer of relationship, I think the city lord won''t make a move without careful consideration too. After all, his identity is placed there.\"


    ...


    Unable to persuade Ye Yuan, Yang Rui still brought him over.


    He could only place his hopes that Chen Yongnian could have misgivings about the Myriad Treasure Tower''s prestige and not dare to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    The City Lord Manor''s main hall was very large. The banquet was very sumptuous too.


    That young city lord on the seat of honor also wore a broad smile. He looked like he had a good relationship with everyone.


    It was only after three rounds of drinking had passed did Chen Yongnian bring up the topic.


    \"Thank you all for giving this city lord this face, to be able to come to the City Lord Manor and get together. Everyone, all present here are my Jewelhill City''s pillars of strength. Everyone says that if enmity is not settled amicably, there is no end to it, doesn''t everyone agree?\"


    Chen Yongnian''s gaze swept over everyone''s faces one by one. Everyone immediately felt immense pressure.


    Even Yang Rui felt tremendous pressure too.


    \"City Lord, Your Excellency, is right!\" Lu Family''s old head said with a smile.


    \"That''s right, that''s right! Everyone says that amiability brings wealth, haha ��\" Lin Family''s old head also concurred.


    But Wang Su smiled faintly and said, \"What Brother Chen says is right. Jewelhill City is everybody''s, not one family''s. It''s not good to be overbearing!\"


    Chen Yongnian looked towards Yang Rui and said with a smile, \"Tower Lord Yang, what say you?\"


    Yang Rui''s expression was rather ugly as he smiled slightly awkwardly and said, \"This ��\"


    He was very reluctant. When the Myriad Treasure Tower was about to go out of business back then, why didn''t you, Chen Yongnian, say so?


    Now that the Wang Family was collapsing, you came forward to posture?


    Except, the pressure that Chen Yongnian gave him was too great. He had no choice but to lower his head.


    Strength was one aspect, more importantly, what Chen Yongnian represented was Wu Meng Capital City!


    Yang Rui''s words reached the tip of his tongue, but he was interrupted by Ye Yuan.


    \"Uh �� delicious! Too delicious! Tsk tsk, City Lord Manor is indeed not an ordinary place. The taste of this dish is excellent!\" Ye Yuan smacked his lips, enjoying it greatly.


    In this situation, the Lin Family''s family head, Lin Zaitian, Lu Family''s Lu Jinghao, as well as Wang Lingbo, could only stand at one side.


    But Ye Yuan was sitting carelessly to Yang Rui''s right, eating and drinking to his heart''s content.


    Chen Yongnian''s brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping towards Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan directly ignored him and only cared about his eating.


    Chen Yongnian felt his fist land on cotton, feeling very uncomfortable.


    Even the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Yang Rui yielded, this punk actually deliberately came out to cause trouble.


    \"Ye Yuan, could it be that �� you have objections towards this city lord''s words?\" Chen Yongnian said with a frown.


    It was only after hearing his name being called did Ye Yuan raise his head. He looked towards Chen Yongnian, saying with a blank look, \"Mm? City Lord, Your Excellency, did you say something just now? Your dishes are too delicious, I didn''t hear!\"


    Pretend!


    Carry on feigning!


    When he spoke just now, the entire main hall could hear, he did not believe that Ye Yuan could not hear it!


    But, got to say, Ye Yuan was a very crucial figure today.


    Otherwise, he would not specially give him a seat either.


    Chen Yongnian reined in his temper and said, \"This city lord said earlier, everyone is in the same city and meet frequently. If enmity is not settled amicably, there is no end to it! Don''t you say so?\"


    Ye Yuan was thrilled the moment he heard and said with a smile, \"Enemy? Who''s the enemy? My enemy[1] is Drunken Wind Inn''s Little Red. Could it be that City Lord knows this Ye likes this and called her here too?\"


    Drunken Wind Inn was Jewelhill City''s largest brothel. This, Ye Yuan still knew. But Little Red was him talking nonsense.


    Chen Yongnian was nearly angered until he had internal injuries. This guy was clearly inserting dialogue for comic relief on purpose.


    Yang Rui sweated profusely as he listened by the side, while Wang Su and the rest had gloating faces.


    Offending the city lord in Jewelhill City was not some wise move.


    Chen Yongnian gave a cold snort, but said to Yang Rui, \"Tower Lord Yang, this city lord only hosted this banquet on account of everybody''s contributions to Jewelhill City for many years, and let everyone bury the hatchet! Is this your Myriad Treasure Tower''s attitude?\"


    This cold snort, Chen Yongnian used the aura of middle-stage Heaven Glimpse. The impetus was very shocking.


    Yang Rui''s expression changed, and he was just about to speak but was intercepted by Ye Yuan, who said, \"Haha, turns out what City Lord is talking about is this! Say it earlier! You don''t say, how would I know? Burying the hatchet is good, I wonder what brilliant idea City Lord, Your Excellency, has?\"


    Chen Yongnian was just about to suppress Yang Rui with ruthless means and force him to submit. But having Ye Yuan cause a disturbance like this, he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Ye Yuan brought him around a roundabout and circled back again. Wasn''t this messing with him?


    However, Chen Yongnian did not wish to make things too unpleasant either. It was true that he was targeting the Myriad Treasure Tower today, but he would try his best not to make a move to the best of his ability.


    To actually employing martial strength was a problem too.


    After all, the Myriad Treasure Tower was not to be trifled with as well.


    This was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse''s business!


    Chen Yongnian endured his anger, snorted coldly, and slowly said, \"I have an idea. Everyone, we discuss it a bit, see if it works or not. Tower Lord, if there''s money to make, everybody should earn them together. Don''t you think so? Your Myriad Treasure Tower''s Essence Cultivating Pill is too tyrannical. This way, everybody doesn''t have means of subsistence anymore. Why not you all take out the Essence Cultivating Pill''s selling rights and share some with the Wang, Lin, and Lu, three families!\"


    [1] The word can also be synonymous with lover/sweetheart

 1348 The Greatest Benevolence

    \"Bullying people too far!\"


    The moment Chen Yongnian''s voice faded, Yang Rui quickly stood up, with a look of unrestrained rage.


    This request was seriously too much!


    Today, this was clearly a treacherous plot. Chen Yongnian brought the three great families to force an abdication.


    \"Tower Lord Yang, don''t get agitated! Sit down, sit down and talk! Mm?\"


    Seeing Yang Rui did not sit down, a surge of powerful aura released from Chen Yongnian''s body, oppressing Yang Rui.


    In an instant, Yang Rui felt immense pressure.


    The strength of middle-stage Heaven Glimpse was much stronger than initial-stage Heaven Glimpse.


    Yang Rui did not have any leeway to resist in front of him at all.


    Just as Yang Rui could not bear the pressure and was about to plop his bottom down, Ye Yuan slowly stood up.


    A wave of faintly discernible aura slowly rose. Chen Yongnian''s face changed, his gaze looking towards Ye Yuan with astonishment.


    This aura of Ye Yuan''s was not cultivation realm suppression, but �� contained a kind of Dao concept!


    Under Ye Yuan''s surge of aura, Chen Yongnian''s aura actually had a feeling of imminent collapse.


    Chen Yongnian was greatly astonished. If the standoff continued, his Dao heart would collapse!


    Chen Yongnian withdrew his aura, the pressure on Yang Rui''s body suddenly eased up.


    But his gaze turned toward Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    \"City Lord, Your Excellency, things can be talked through. Overwhelming people with power like this isn''t good, right?\" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Everyone all looked at Ye Yuan with a solemn look. A middle-stage Grotto Profound actually made a middle-stage Heaven Glimpse''s aura give a wide berth?


    This was truly too outrageous to hear!


    Ye Yuan''s aura originated from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    It also originated from the Chaos Heavenspan Canon!


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation method was a terrifying existence that triggered the entire Heavenspan World''s abnormal activity.


    Using cultivation realm pressure in front of him, wasn''t it looking for a pummeling?


    \"This city lord making him sit down, isn''t it in order to discuss properly? It was Tower Lord Yang who got agitated on his own! This city lord convened everyone together in order to discuss a good countermeasure!\" Chen Yongnian found a way out for himself.


    However, this could not conceal his inner shock.


    Only then did he know that this middle-stage Grotto Profound boy in front of him seemed to be even more troublesome than Yang Rui!


    Ye Yuan gave Yang Rui a look, motioning for him to sit down. He then smiled and said, \"City Lord, Your Excellency, don''t blame this Ye for saying unpleasant things. It''s truly that you''re demanding an exorbitant price! The profits of the Essence Cultivating Pill, everybody is aware. Their three families don''t need to do anything and want to have a piece of the pie, how can there be such a good thing in the world?\"


    \"Heh, we also didn''t say do nothing! What conditions there are, you all feel free to state them. Otherwise, if you really press the three of our families, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business can also forget about operating any further!\" Wang Su said coolly.


    These words were rather shameless.


    Use one''s butt to think and the person would also know that what Wang Su was referring to was definitely some despicable methods.


    The meaning was, if I have a hard time, you all can also forget about having a good time!


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, \"That''s more like it! Since you want to negotiate, you naturally have to bring out sufficient sincerity. As long as you all are willing to offer enough price, it''s also not like this Essence Cultivating Pill can''t be given you all.\"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s eyes light up.


    Of course, apart from Yang Rui.


    \"Ye Yuan, you ��\" Yang Rui said anxiously.


    The reason why the Myriad Treasure Tower could run a monopoly was because of the Essence Cultivating Pill''s advantage.


    If they gave the selling rights to the other three families, their advantage would be all gone!


    Unless it was a last resort, he absolutely would not agree.


    Ye Yuan gave him a look, indicating for him to hold his horses.


    Wang Su forcefully suppressed the wild elation in his heart and said calmly, \"What conditions there are, feel free to list them! As long as it''s not too overboard, I believe everyone won''t refuse! Everyone is all in Jewelhill City, mutual benefits and coordinate development is the right path.\"


    Half a year passed, the Essence Cultivating Pill''s reputation already gradually spread to other places.


    Right now, many other cities'' martial artists would also rush to Jewelhill City without paying heed to the distance, in order to buy the Essence Cultivating Pill.


    At present, the Essence Cultivating Pill''s price rose again and again. But the people coming to buy the medicinal pill were still going after it like a flock of ducks.


    This medicinal pill''s profits were too great!


    How could Wang Su not be delighted?


    Not just him, the other two families'' old heads also revealed expressions of wild ecstasy on their faces.


    They never thought that Ye Yuan actually agreed so easily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"My condition isn''t overboard at all. To you all, it''s merely a matter of lifting a finger.\"


    Hearing these words, the three families'' hearts eased up.


    It seemed like the Myriad Treasure Tower was still afraid of the City Lord Manor in the end!


    Ye Yuan paused for a bit, but his gaze looked toward Wang Lingbo and said indifferently, \"His life, exchange for the Essence Cultivating Pill''s selling rights! How is it? It''s a good deal, right?\"


    The rest were still okay, but the Wang Family''s people''s faces all changed drastically.


    Wang Lingbo even pointed at Ye Yuan angrily and said, \"Brat, what do you mean?\"


    Wang Su''s face fell, and he said, \"Are you making a fool out of our three families?\"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said smilingly, \"This is already my greatest sincerity! At the Yin Wind Den, the Wang Family''s three great elders hunted Luo Jian and me down. Don''t tell me that this wasn''t your idea! Every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. It''s already my greatest benevolence to not let the Wang Family be buried in death!\"


    Previously, Ye Yuan was afraid of breaking Jewelhill City''s balance and made things difficult for the Myriad Treasure Tower, that was why he would spare Wang Lingbo''s life.


    With his temper, directly exterminating the Wang Family back then was also not impossible.


    But now, these few families were already riding on top of his head. How could Ye Yuan possibly show mercy to him?


    \"Heh, make my Wang Family be buried in death, your esteemed self has such high-sounding sentiments! With just the likes of you, a middle-stage Grotto Profound?\" Wang Yuxiang said with a cold sneer.


    \"Ye Yuan, everyone said that if enmity is not settled amicably, there is no end to it! Even though the Wang Family sent people to hunt you down back then, you''re safe and sound right now, while their elders are all dead. This is also considered evening up. Give this city lord face and drop this matter at that, alright?\" Chen Yongnian finally spoke up.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, \"The Essence Cultivating Pill''s profits, there''s no need for me to say no more. I just have this one condition! Agree, everything can be discussed! Disagree, then there''s no need to discuss anymore.\"


    Ye Yuan''s casual sentence sealed off all of the retreat paths.


    The atmosphere instantly fell to a freezing point, becoming peculiar.


    Yang Rui was expressionless, but in his heart, he prostrated in admiration toward Ye Yuan.


    This move was played too beautifully, directly kicking the ball back to the other party.


    Wang Lingbo''s weight was not light nor heavy, just nice.


    If it were Wang Yuxiang, then it would appear too insincere.


    Wang Lingbo was merely a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist and did not count as much. But he was also the Wang Family''s present family head, his status being extraordinary.


    At this time, all of the focal points were gathered onto Wang Lingbo.


    Especially Lu and Lin, two families'' old heads, their gazes faintly looked towards him.


    What was even more damnable was that Wang Su''s gaze also wittingly or unwittingly flitted over.


    Clearly, he was very conflicted.


    Who was Wang Lingbo, how could he not perceive the current situation?


    \"Wang Su, what''s the meaning of this? Could it be that you''re going to kill your own clansman because of this boy''s one sentence?\" Wang Lingbo''s expression changed and asked him.

 1349 Everyone Kicks a Man Who Is Down

    \"Cough, cough, Elder Brother has misunderstood. How can this Wang have this kind of idea?\" Wang Su said, rather awkwardly.


    One had to admit that Ye Yuan''s suggestion indeed made him tempted.


    Wang Lingbo, this level of martial artist, could easily be found among people in the main family. Losing one to exchange for the Essence Cultivating Pill''s selling rights was still very worth it.


    But this sort of words could not be said no matter what.


    Those who accomplished great things did not bother with the trifles!


    He was already weighing it over in his heart, whether or not to dispose of Wang Lingbo in secret, and then find Ye Yuan for peace talks.


    Wang Yuxiang''s expression was also very ugly. That faintly imperceptible look of Wang Su''s just now, how could he not tell?


    Making him use his son''s life to go exchange for the Essence Cultivating Pill''s selling rights, he was not willing even if beaten to death.


    He would rather fight it out with the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    Ye Yuan''s condition made the banquet''s atmosphere become delicate.


    Wang Yuxiang''s face fell, and he said, \"Ye Yuan, we came with sincerity, can you also show your sincerity?\"


    \"Sincerity? Where''s the sincerity? Huhu, pardon this Ye''s eyes for being blind, but I don''t see it! You all don''t have sincerity, but this Ye came with the greatest sincerity. Wang Lingbo took action against me back then, he should have today''s reckoning,\" Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Wang Lingbo was angered until he gnashed his teeth in hatred by the side. He knew that right now, apart from his father, probably everyone wanted him dead!


    \"City Lord, Your Excellency, Ye Yuan is clearly borrowing a knife to kill people. Don''t accept his provocation! Even if we really kill my son, what if their Myriad Treasure Tower reneges, what to do?\" Wang Yuxiang said solemnly.


    Chen Yongnian fell silent. His attitude made Wang Yuxiang''s and Wang Lingbo''s hearts sink to rock bottom.


    \"With this city lord around, I believe the Myriad Treasure Tower won''t go back on their word, right?\" Chen Yongnian looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled without saying a word but did not answer.


    Wang Lingbo''s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, \"City Lord, what do you mean?\"


    Chen Yongnian said coolly, \"What do I mean? Everybody is doing business in Jewelhill City, each relying on their own ability. But you sent people to hunt down the other party, it already overstepped the boundary!\"


    The moment Old Man Lin heard these words, he immediately concurred: \"Yeah! Everyone is clear about the cause of this matter, wasn''t this all caused by that shameless younger sister of yours? It was your Wang Family''s wrongdoing to begin with, and then you guys still wanted to exterminate everyone! It''s too much!\"


    Old Man Lu also said, \"The martial path has the martial path''s rules. While business has business rules. Wang Lingbo, you doing this has greatly ruined the rules of business!\"


    Wang Lingbo''s expression turned deathly pale. He finally knew what was called everyone kicks a man who was down.


    \"You all �� You all �� shameless!\" Wang Lingbo was angered until he could not even speak.


    Before coming today, he was still very excited.


    But he never dreamed that this play today would actually ring the funeral bell for him!


    Now, this situation, everyone already wanted to kill and be done with it!


    Even the fellow clan member, Wang Su, was also sharpening his knife.


    Wang Yuxiang was extremely furious too and rebuked, \"You two old fogeys, shut up for me! You all are really shameless to the extreme!\"


    Chen Yongnian said coolly, \"What they said is right too! Wang Lingbo, since you did something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Are you doing it yourself, or do you want this city lord to take action?\"


    Chen Yongnian seemed to be talking about a very dull matter, his voice not carrying a trace of emotion.


    Wang Lingbo trembled all over, his gaze revealing a look of despair.


    It seemed like he could not escape his doom today!


    His gaze suddenly looked towards Wang Su, seemingly grasping the last strand of life-saving straw, saying urgently, \"Sir Su, we''re close relatives of the same clan. Could it be that you''re also going to be subjected to the sowing of dissension by these despicable villains?\"


    He knew Wang Su''s status. If Wang Su opened his mouth, Chen Yongnian might not be unscrupulous and brazen.


    Wang Su looked straight ahead and could not be bothered to give him a glance at all.


    The matter already developed to this kind of extent, he already had no need to protect Wang Lingbo anymore.


    \"Elder Brother, it''s not that Wang Su isn''t saving you; it''s truly a situation where the evil we bring onto ourselves are the hardest to bear!\" Wang Su said emotionally.


    Wang Su''s words became the final straw that brought down the camel, shattering all of Wang Lingbo''s fantasies.


    Suddenly, Wang Lingbo''s figure moved, speeding outside of the main hall.


    \"Humph! Courting death!\"


    Chen Yongnian gave a cold snort, directly reaching a claw out. Wang Lingbo''s figure abruptly stopped.


    But right at this time, Wang Yuxiang also made a move!


    There was no way he could watch his son be killed unfeelingly!


    Chen Yongnian''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, \"Overestimating your own ability!\"


    While talking, Chen Yongnian turned his claw into a palm. A surge of immense force emerged in full force.


    Bang!


    Just one palm, Wang Yuxiang''s body was like a kite with a broken string, flying out backward.


    In front of Chen Yongnian, Wang Yuxiang was weak until he did not have any strength to retaliate!


    Following that, Chen Yongnian turned his palm into a claw once more. Wang Lingbo''s figure was actually directly burst open by a powerful essence energy!


    While from start to end, Chen Yongnian just sat still.


    With a wave of a hand, one dead and one injured!


    The aura that looked down upon the world was displayed in its entirety.


    At this time, Wang Yuxiang was still lying on the ground, vomiting blood in large mouthfuls.


    His gaze when looking at Chen Yongnian was filled with killing intent.


    The pupils of Lu and Lin, two families'' old heads, also shrunk, looking at Chen Yongnian with incredible shock.


    They also did not expect that Chen Yongnian was actually powerful to this kind of extent already.


    It seemed like he was also merely a step away from late-stage Heaven Glimpse.


    Chen Yongnian killing Wang Lingbo with ruthless means and bringing down Wang Yuxiang also had the intention of establishing prestige.


    He already had not displayed his strength in front of the public for many years. Now, let them take a look that he, this city lord, was not someone to be provoked.


    Of course, the most important was still shocking Ye Yuan, making him realize his promise.


    The Yang Rui by the side was long dumbstruck with amazement already.


    Before coming, he never thought that Ye Yuan''s casual few sentences would make the alliance of the three great families and City Lord Manor to fall apart.


    Now, Wang Lingbo was dead, and Wang Yuxiang severely wounded. The Wang Family was virtually crippled already.


    Not only was this youth''s talent extremely high, these means and resourcefulness were also exceedingly formidable. Truly terrifying!


    Except, after witnessing Chen Yongnian''s means, Yang Rui no longer had thoughts of getting lucky.


    Looks like Ye Yuan also knew that the Essence Cultivating Pill could not be protected anymore. Hence, that was why he would maximize the role of the Essence Cultivating Pill, using it to knock dead the Wang Family father and son.


    Clearly, he succeeded.


    Ye Yuan observed all of this from the sidelines the whole time. These people all posed as people of high morals, but they disowned all relatives and friends in front of benefits. Truly laughable.


    Putting it bluntly, they were a bunch of despicable people who only sought profits.


    Finished doing all these, Chen Yongnian used an indifferent gaze to look at Ye Yuan and said, \"Wang Lingbo broke Jewelhill City''s business world order, even death cannot atone for his crimes! Tower Lord Yang, Ye Yuan, what to do next will depend on you all!\"


    \"Depend on us? Depend on us what?\" Ye Yuan switched to a smiling face and asked with a smile.


    His words made everyone''s faces changed!


    Could it be that this boy was going to go back on his word?


    Chen Yongnian''s face fell, and he said, \"The condition that you raised, I''ve already promised you on behalf of their three families! Now, it''s time for you to realize your promise!\"


    Ye Yuan''s smile was very radiant as he said, \"Promise? Did I say anything? Did City Lord, Your Excellency, hear wrongly?\"

 1350 You All, Cant Dictate Anything!

    \"H-Hahaha, what a joke! Truly laughable!\"


    Far away, came Wang Yuxiang''s mocking and dispirited laughter.


    At this point, how could the rest still not know that they were tricked by Ye Yuan?


    From the very beginning, Ye Yuan never planned on giving them the selling rights of the Essence Cultivating Pill. It was just in order to let them fight in the nest!


    Their group of people was despicable villains in vain, unexpectedly letting Ye Yuan watch a good show on one side.


    Wang Su''s face was grim as he said, \"Ye Yuan, you dare to go back on your word and toy with us?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, \"Keeping one''s words is reserved for gentlemen. You all, a bunch of despicable people, what integrity is there to speak of? Giving you all the sales rights today, you all will come and annex the Myriad Treasure Tower in the future. But this play just now was still really exciting, letting this Ye see the faces of you all, this group of people, clearly. Heh heh.\"


    Ye Yuan''s words were like the emperor''s new clothes, tearing off their disguise without any mercy.


    Their performance previously was like a clown fooling around.


    \"Good, very good! Boy, you''re using your life to provoke this city lord! Since you did so, then you should have some awareness, right?\" Chen Yongnian said with an incredibly grim look.


    Yang Rui suddenly stood up, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    \"What do you all want to do? Chen Yongnian, I''m warning you, Ye Yuan is the Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. If you dare to touch him, that''s going against the Myriad Treasure Tower!\" Yang Rui said solemnly.


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually be so straightforward, playing this move with the other party.


    Now, satisfying was satisfying, but it also incurred public wrath.


    None of these guys were good people. It was impossible for them to let Ye Yuan go so easily.


    Chen Yongnian sneered coldly when he heard that and said, \"Yang Rui, are you scaring me? This place isn''t Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s territory. It''s no use for you to pull out this tiger skin! As long as this city lord doesn''t kill you, I don''t believe that the Myriad Treasure Tower can do anything to me!\"


    Yang Rui''s expression changed, and he said, \"If it were before, there''s naturally nothing if you killed him. But he handed the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula to the Myriad Treasure Tower now, do you think that upstairs will still sit by idly and remain indifferent?\"


    Yang Rui''s words made Chen Yongnian and the rest greatly shocked.


    They all thought that right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower was relying on Ye Yuan, and that the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula was still in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    But they never thought that Ye Yuan actually handed over the pill formula!


    Like this, the matter was somewhat troublesome.


    Even though this place was not Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s domain, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s power absolutely could not be overlooked.


    Otherwise, Chen Yongnian also would not be so apprehensive and not dare to kill Yang Rui.


    \"Brother Chen, today, this punk has to be killed no matter what! Things have already come to this point. If we let him swagger his way out of the City Lord Manor, what face does our three families and the City Lord Manor still have to carry on living in this Jewelhill City? Since he isn''t willing to hand over the Essence Cultivating Pill, that''s the outcome of fighting to the death, nobody can benefit!\" Wang Su said solemnly, right at this time.


    Chen Yongnian thought about it and felt that what Wang Su made a lot of sense.


    Today, his, this city lord''s, face, was considered utterly lost. If he did not kill Ye Yuan, how would he still rule Jewelhill City in the future?


    He nodded his head and said, \"What you said is right! Even if really killed, it''s also not Myriad Treasure Tower''s turn to come and punish this city lord! Humph, Ye Yuan, today, you''re dead for sure!\"


    Not just Chen Yongnian, the Lu and Lin two families'' old heads also went forward to surround unknowingly, enclosing Ye Yuan duo in the center.


    This move of Ye Yuan had offended everyone present.


    Wang Su smiled coldly and said, \"Boy, do you think that by handing over the pill formula, everything will be fine? This place is Jewelhill City; it''s Brother Chen''s territory. You �� can''t overturn the heavens!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, \"You guys think too highly of yourselves! Don''t think that you can dictate anything. In reality, you all �� can''t dictate anything!\"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and walked over toward the front door.


    \"Humph! Blind reckless fool!\"


    Chen Yongnian gave a cold snort, his figure suddenly shooting out, speeding over towards Ye Yuan.


    When killing Wang Lingbo and wounding Wang Yuxiang, Chen Yongnian did not get serious. But against Ye Yuan, he was really enraged!


    This opening move was a lightning-quick blow!


    Yang Rui''s face revealed a look of astonishment, feeling like a great mountain was crushing over towards him.


    At virtually the same time, another surge of powerful aura billowed to the sky, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Wang Yuxiang!


    \"Brat, not killing you today, I''m less than human!\" Wang Yuxian roared.


    Two great experts teaming up for a pincer attack, even if Yang Rui had three heads and six arms, he could not stop it either.


    Just as he was going to risk it all, a gust of piercing cold wind suddenly started howling inside the main hall.


    An additional figure appeared beside Ye Yuan at no idea when.


    The moment this figure appeared, it gave people a feeling akin to falling into an ice cellar.


    Who could this figure be other than Gui Yun?


    It was only to see him flicked his sleeves. A gust of bone-piercingly cold wind howled toward Wang Yuxiang.


    Following which, he pointed a finger out, meeting this palm of Chen Yongnian''s!


    All of this happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Everyone did not react on time.


    Wang Yuxiang was seriously injured to being with. This attack was completely hanging on with one breath.


    This flick of Gui Yun''s, Wang Yuxiang''s entire person was akin to being struck by lightning, his figure abruptly stopping, already unable to move when it brushed past halfway.


    This force-wind froze all the blood in his body.


    When looking again, he was actually completely lifeless already.


    While Chen Yongnian this side had a frontal exchange with Gui Yun!


    Boom!


    An explosion sounded out, powerful wind spilling over. Chen Yongnian''s figure retreated explosively, even faster than when he came!


    All the way until his body hit a stone pillar, did he barely managed to hold steady.


    Chen Yongnian''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He felt like his whole body was petrified, unable to move a muscle at all.


    This shock was by no means insignificant. He hurriedly revolved divine essence before purging this frozen feeling.


    \"Two-star evil spirit!\"


    Chen Yongnian''s gaze turned intent, his gaze when looking at Gui Yun was full of dread.


    That blow just now, the superiority was immediately established!


    Very clearly, he was not Gui Yun''s match!


    These few years, Gui Yun''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds under Dustless''s guidance.


    The Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, he already thoroughly grasped the first two runes. Although he had not broken through realm yet, his strength could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.


    Chen Yongnian was not worth mentioning in front of him at all.


    Gui Yun''s opening move was similarly one death and one injured, thoroughly stunning everyone.


    Turns out that this was Ye Yuan''s trump card!


    This evil spirit''s strength made all of them feel appalled.


    \"Master, want to kill them or not?\" Gui Yun gave a bow toward Ye Yuan respectfully, seeking his opinion.


    This sentence made a chill run down everyone''s spine.


    They did not doubt in the slightest that Gui Yun had this strength.


    Messing around for a long time, they all, this group of people, were merely clowns jumping around.


    Right from the beginning, Ye Yuan did not place them in his sights at all.


    Ye Yuan''s confidence was never some Essence Cultivating Pill, but this middle-stage Two-star evil spirit!


    Ye Yuan''s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Chen Yongnian. He said with a faint smile, \"City Lord, today''s banquet was pretty good. Putting aside the delicacies, there was even a good show. Now, this Ye is going to leave, I wonder if you still have any objections?\"

 1351 Ruthlessness Is the Mark of a Great Man

    Bang!


    In his rage, Chen Yongnian''s one palm smashed the few case files in front of him into fine powder.


    The humiliation that Ye Yuan brought to him today was something that he had never experienced before.


    \"Brother Chen, this Ye Yuan is really too much! You''re the exalted city lord, he actually didn''t give you any face at all!\" Wang Su fanned the fire by the side.


    Truthfully speaking, he also felt an immense threat of death just now.


    He clearly saw Ye Yuan''s gaze sweep over toward him, imperceptibly.


    That look seemingly saw through everything.


    However, Ye Yuan still did not attack in the end. Maybe he was wary of the Wang Family behind him.


    The Wang Family was a second to none great family clan in Brightraise City, the experts in the clan as abundant as clouds.


    His elder brother, Wang Song, was even Brightraise City''s deputy city lord!


    Thinking up to here, Wang Su felt proud of himself in his heart.


    One shouldn''t look at how that punk had an appearance of fearing nothing and no one. He was still somewhat apprehensive in the end.


    \"Humph! Not avenging this grudge, I, Chen Yongnian, am less than human!\" Chen Yongnian said with a livid expression.


    Wang Su had an appearance of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back by the side.


    Chen Yongnian immediately understood and said to the Lu and Lin two family heads, \"Today''s matter, I hope that only the few of us know. I don''t wish for it to spread to other people''s ears!\"


    Lu and Lin, the two family heads were startled and hurriedly said, \"City Lord rest assured. Even if you lend us several galls, we wouldn''t dare either!\"


    Chen Yongnian waved his hand impatiently. The Lu and Lin two family heads hastily took their leave.


    They knew that Chen Yongnian and Wang Su were probably going to plot to harm Ye Yuan.


    But they did not have any objections towards this. After all, their faces were also utterly lost today.


    They originally thought that they could reap a huge deal. They did not expect to almost lose their old lives here.


    After the four people left, Wang Su said, \"Brother Chen, that punk has a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit guarding. Wanting to kill him in Jewelhill City probably won''t be easy anymore!\"


    Although Chen Yongnian had unwillingness in his heart when he heard that, he also knew that what Wang Su said was the truth.


    \"What brilliant ideas do Younger Brother, you, have? If this boy doesn''t die, this Chen will probably be unable to cultivate in peace anymore!\" Chen Yongnian said and gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    The corners of Wang Su''s mouth revealed a trace of a strange smile and said, \"This boy has a great sense of propriety when doing things. He had a good pretext for killing Wang Lingbo and Wang Yuxiang. We really can''t do anything to him! But ��\"


    Wang Su whispered a few words in Chen Yongnian''s ear. Chen Yongnian similarly revealed an odd smile.


    \"Heh, Younger Brother, you''re indeed a resourceful person! It''s just that �� this way is truly a bit too vicious, right?\" Chen Yongnian said.


    \"A small mind makes not a gentleman, ruthlessness is the mark of a great man! As long as we can kill this boy, what does this count as?\" Wang Su said without a care.


    ...


    Now, even the Wang Family was declining. The Liang Family had naturally lost its former glory.


    These few days, Wang Pianran brought her daughter, Liang Wanrong back to her parents'' home for a distraction.


    Suddenly, she received a message passed on by a servant, saying that the main family''s Sir Su invited her to make a trip over.


    Wang Pianran came to the Wang Family''s main hall without knowing the inside story, but she discovered that inside the main hall was long packed full of people already.


    Dividing the crowd, Wang Pianran saw a piece of shroud placed on the ground.


    Below the white cloth, it was uncertain who was dead.


    Wang Su said on the seat of honor, his expression grim.


    Wang Pianran was not a dumb person. Her heart thumped, immediately sensing something off.


    \"Sir Su, this �� What''s going on here?\" Wang Pianran could not resist asking.


    When Wang Su saw her, he slowly stood up and said with a sorrowful look, \"Everyone is here. Now, Wang Su has something to tell everybody.


    Finished talking, he bowed deeply towards everyone and said, \"Wang Su is incompetent and failed to protect the family head and Elder Yuxiang!\"


    While talking, he pulled away the shroud. That frozen corpse of Wang Yuxiang''s appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    \"Dad!\"


    That shrill voice of Wang Pianran''s instantly spread throughout the entire Wang Family.


    \"Dad! Why have you gone! Who struck this vicious blow! You tell Pianran, Pianran will definitely wreak vengeance and redress hatred for you!\"


    Wang Pianran shrieked and howled, but she was also pouring out her true sentiments.


    All along, she was a missus, being spoiled by her father and big brother.


    Now, her backing had collapsed, how could she not be mournful?


    When the rest of the clan members saw the Wang Family''s biggest backer died just like this, all of their faces were grief-stricken.


    \"Sir Su, my father was still fine in the morning. Why did he pass away? W-Where is my big brother?\" After a bout of bitter crying, Wang Pianran pulled Wang Su and asked this question.


    Wang Su was disgusted with this fat sow, but at this moment, it was inconvenient for him to have a fall out with her. At once, he said mournfully, \"Elder Brother he �� suffered a vicious blow too, his corpse no more!\"


    Wang Pianran''s entire body trembled, nearly passing out.


    \"Sir Su, who was it? Just who in the world was it? I �� I''m going to kill him!\" At this time, Wang Pianran''s entire person was only left with rage.


    Wang Su said with a sorrowful face, \"It �� It was the Myriad Treasure Tower!\"


    Wang Pianran''s gaze revealed an extremely vicious look as she gnashed her teeth in hatred and said, \"Myriad Treasure Tower! Ye Yuan! You all just wait, I''ll definitely make you all die a horrible death!\"


    Seeing Wang Pianran''s fury, a hint of an imperceptible faint smile flashed across Wang Su''s face.


    ...


    \"Ye Yuan, you offended all of Jewelhill City''s major forces this time!\" Yang Rui sighed and said.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, \"Why? Does Tower Lord blame me for being meddlesome?\"


    Yang Rui was stupefied and scolding laughingly, \"You punk, checkmating me, is it? If it''s done, it''s done, would I, Yang Rui, be that kind of person who fears to get involved? Today was originally they all going overboard. You doing so was naturally a great satisfaction! It''s just �� that Chen Yongnian and Wang Su are both not people to mess with. I''m afraid that they will be detrimental to you!\"


    But Ye Yuan said without care, \"Heh, it''s fine if they don''t come and provoke me! Come and provoke me again, it wouldn''t end carelessly like this today!\"


    Ye Yuan''s careless killing intent faintly exuded out, giving Yang Rui a shock.


    He had always thought that Ye Yuan was just an alchemist harmless to man and beast, but he did not expect that Ye Yuan still had such decisiveness in going for the kill side!


    \"Furthermore �� I already can''t stay for much longer in this Jewelhill City. If they want to find me to take revenge, they also got to be able to find me!\" Ye Yuan suddenly said with a smile.


    Yang Rui was first stunned, following that, his expression changed, and he said, \"You �� You''re leaving?\"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, \"Jewelhill City is too small after all. If I want to become strong, I must walk out! Huhu, Brother Yang Rest assured, I believe your Myriad Treasure Tower''s high-level alchemy god is already on the way. When I teach him how to refine the Essence Cultivating Pill, there naturally won''t need to worry about a situation where the Essence Cultivating Pill lacks continuation.\"


    Yang Rui was stunned again and said, \"High-level alchemy god? Coming to Jewelhill City? This �� This isn''t possible, right?\"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, \"Do you think that this Essence Cultivating Pill is really what anyone can refine? I reckon that your Myriad Treasure Tower has to send a Three-star Alchemy God over at the minimum.\"


    Yang Rui drew a cold breath when he heard that!


    All along, they only cared about selling Essence Cultivating Pills and really did not know how great the refining difficulty of this medicinal pill was.


    But hearing Ye Yuan say so, it was also overly exaggerating things to raise the alarm, right?


    Refining a Tier 1 middle-grade divine pill needed a Three-star Alchemy God to come and learn?

 1352 Wu Meng Academy

    \"Ye Yuan, if you want to become strong, why not officially join the Myriad Treasure Tower! You''re also aware, the Myriad Treasure Tower is Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure''s business. He is the wealthiest among all of the heavenly emperors. As long as you join the Myriad Treasure Tower, there definitely won''t be any issues with cultivation resources!\" Yang Rui said.


    \"Many thanks for Brother Yang''s good intentions, but �� this Ye already has his own plans.\" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Yang Rui could not help being disappointed.


    With Ye Yuan''s alchemy talent, he was bound to be able to be put in an important position in the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    However, Ye Yuan had his own plans.


    He could mobilize the Myriad Treasure Tower''s spirit medicines. Firstly, Yang Rui was open-minded. Secondly, it was because what he mobilized were all Tier 1 spirit medicines.


    Even the Immortal Grove Region in the Divine Dao Era, Tier 1 divine rank spirit medicines were not to say they were everywhere, but at the very least, they were not lacking.


    But the spirit medicines that Ye Yuan''s pill refinement required in the future, Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower could not afford it. The Myriad Treasure Tower upstairs probably would not give in to his endless demands either.


    Ye Yuan did not believe that the Myriad Treasure Tower was a monolithic block.


    Where there were people, there would be the Jianghu. In the future, if somebody tripped him up, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s identity would be a burden instead.


    Just in this Jewelhill City, didn''t Feng Ping appear?


    Yang Rui''s eyes suddenly lit up and said, \"Since Younger Brother, you''re not willing to join the Myriad Treasure Tower, why not go to the Wu Meng Academy!\"


    \"Wu Meng Academy?\" Ye Yuan said rather surprisedly.


    \"That''s right! Wu Meng Academy is Wu Meng Capital City''s official academy. Chen Yongnian and Wang Su''s elder brother, Wang Song, were from Wu Meng Academy! That place has over half of the young geniuses within Wu Meng Capital City''s boundary. Furthermore, there are cultivation methods capable of cultivating to grand completion Origin Deity!\" Yang Rui said.


    Hearing Yang Rui''s words, Ye Yuan understood very quickly.


    Wu Meng Academy was equivalent to Wu Meng Capital City''s talent reserves. The various major counties'' city lords probably all came from the Wu Meng Academy.


    This way, Wu Meng Capital City''s control over those counties below would be very secure.


    As for cultivation methods, Ye Yuan did not really care.


    He already made up his mind to walk his own path. Ordinary cultivation methods, he naturally held in contempt.


    Rather, over half of the young geniuses gathered here. This made Ye Yuan very moved.


    The rise of a powerhouse could not dispense with sparing with other powerhouses.


    Shutting oneself in a room to make a cart made it difficult to take its place in higher circles.


    \"Oh? Then how does one join this Wu Meng Academy?\" Ye Yuan asked.


    Yang Rui said, \"Wu Meng Academy recruits a batch of students every 100 years. As long as the martial artist''s strength reached Grotto Profound Deity Realm, a skeletal age under 200 years old, they all can join the entrance test. As long as one passes the test, they will be able to become Wu Meng Academy''s outer-court disciple. Three years later, it''s just nice the period for Wu Meng Academy to recruit students.\"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise when he heard that, \"There are no less than a thousand counties under Wu Meng Capital City. How many people are going to participate in the entrance test?\"


    Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artists could be said to everywhere in the Heavenspan World.


    Even if one county just produced a hundred people, that was 100 thousand people too!


    In reality, even Jewelhill City, this kind of small city, the Grotto Profound martial artists under 200 years old were far from 100 people too.


    Let alone those large counties.


    Yang Rui smiled and said, \"Indeed, each time Wu Meng Academy recruits students, there are no less than 500 thousand taking part. However �� those able to pass the first round of assessments are only less than 10%! Those able to pass through all three rounds of assessments are also merely around a hundred people. Among these, the vast majority are all late-stage Grotto Profound martial artists. There is even a small portion �� that is grand completion Grotto Profound Realm.\"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, \"So difficult?\"


    Yang Rui nodded and said, \"Hence, those able to pass through the test are all geniuses among geniuses! In the past, at its lowest number, it was just over 30 people passing the assessment!\"


    Hearing Yang Rui''s words, Ye Yuan also felt immense pressure.


    Of course, even more, it was anticipation!


    Truly as Yang Rui said, this Wu Meng Academy, he had to go.


    Without comparing with other geniuses, he would forever not know where his shortcomings lay.


    Being able to cultivate to late-stage Grotto Profound before 200 years old, even grand completion, it could be said that everyone was exceedingly talented.


    Ye Yuan crushed everyone when at the Immortal Grove World. But in the Heavenspan World, he really did not have this confidence.


    Ye Yuan''s skeletal age was merely over a hundred years old. But he cultivated for several hundred year''s time in the World Suppressing Stele''s space.


    Just on this aspect, he already lost to many of Wu Meng Capital City''s young generation.


    Furthermore, this was even just in the Wu Meng Capital City''s territory!


    In the Heavenspan World, capital cities like Wu Meng Capital City were goodness knows how many.


    Among them, there was probably no lack of some heaven-defying to the extreme genius martial artists!


    \"Hearing Brother Yang says so, I''m really looking forward to this Wu Meng Academy very much!\"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze revealed thick fighting intent. Clearly, he was very interested.


    But Yang Rui smiled and said, \"Younger Brother, this brother has a presumptuous request. I hope that you will agree!\"


    \"What is it, Brother Yang feel free to say!\" Ye Yuan said.


    \"If �� I''m saying if, if you''re unable to pass the test, how about joining our Myriad Treasure Tower, how''s that?\" Yang Rui asked profoundly.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he laughed and said, \"Huhu, it turns out Brother Yang is waiting for me here! Done, this is not an issue!\"


    The two people exchanged a glance and started chortling with laughter.


    Not that Yang Rui was pessimistic about Ye Yuan, but wanting to pass the Wu Meng Academy''s entrance examination, the difficulty was indeed very high.


    The two people were currently chatting fervently when suddenly, outside the Myriad Treasure Tower fell into chaos.


    Coming out to take a look, they discovered that the fat-headed and large-eared Wang Pianran actually came to shout abuses in the streets again!


    But this time, she and all of the Wang Family''s people wore mourning dresses and came to hurl abuses.


    Wang Yuxiang''s corpse was placed in front of the Myriad Treasure Tower''s front door.


    It was just that all of them had doleful looks, an expression like their parents died. It indeed made people''s countenance change visibly.


    By the side, quite a number of people were whispering.


    \"The Myriad Treasure Tower is also too much. Currently, they already crushed the Wang Family until like this, they actually still want to drop a rock down the well, killing Wang Yuxiang father and son!\"


    \"Yeah, didn''t expect that the Myriad Treasure Tower actually dared to be so brazen!\"


    \"Why doesn''t the City Lord Manor come out and manage it? I didn''t expect that the once glorious Wang Family actually fell into such a plight!\"


    ...


    Wang Pianran was a venomous woman, the words she cussed were very nasty. All in all, it was splashing dirty water on the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    When Yang Rui said this scene, he was angered until he was livid with rage.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower had always cheated neither the old nor the young. But how could they stand such slandering from Wang Pianran?


    \"There''s really not a good thing among the Wang Family''s people! This ability to turn black to white is really first-rate! I''ll go and chase them away!\" Yang Rui said furiously.


    He was just about to move but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    \"Brother Yang, calm your anger. Wang Pianran is merely a puppet! The more you chase them away, the more this matter can''t be explained clearly. If they want to scold, just let them scold to their heart''s content!\" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Yang Rui''s expression changed, and he said, \"But at this rate, how will the Myriad Treasure Tower''s business still carry on?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Brother Yang rest assured, calculating the time, it should be about time.\"

 1353 Falling Into a Pit of Ones Own Digging

    Ten thousand miles away from Jewelhill City, two figures were riding two flying dragon colts, currently speeding in the direction of Brightraise City like the wind.


    \"Wang Su, it isn''t good for you to be like this, right? No matter what, Jewelhill City''s branch family is also a branch of the Wang Family, members of the same clan!\" Wang Xuanfeng said.


    \"Jewelhill City''s branch family is already crippled. So just treat it as a cripple and make use of it! Not doing so, on what basis do we get the main family to send people over to eliminate that punk?\" Wang Su said without a care.


    Wang Xuanfeng heaved a sigh and said, \"But this method is also a bit too vicious!\"


    Wang Su said nonchalantly, \"Those who accomplish great things don''t bother with trifles! How can someone with the benevolence of a woman make it in the world of martial artists? Enough talk, better hurry on the way!\"


    Wang Xuanfeng gave him a glance but did not say anymore.


    The two people were currently pushing on with their journey when suddenly, a gust of sinister wind howled past.


    The two people only felt a blur before their eyes. There was actually an additional figure ahead.


    Wang Su''s pupils constricted, his expression changed drastically as he said stammeringly, \"Y-Y-You �� Why would you show up here?\"


    That profile ahead was none other than precisely Gui Yun!


    Gui Yun said coolly, \"Master ordered me to follow you all. As long as you all leave Jewelhill City, I''ll stop you guys. Now, follow me back.\"


    Wang Su''s face was ashen pale, a look of despair.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so cautious, sending this evil spirit over to follow them!


    ...


    \"Yang Rui, Ye Yuan, if you all don''t give me an explanation today, it''s not over between us! If you have the capability, kill me, Wang Pianran! Either way, you guys have already killed my big brother and my father! I want to see who else will buy your Myriad Treasure Tower''s things in the future ��\"


    Wang Pianran shrieked at the top of her voice, drawing more and more people over.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Rui became more anxious.


    At this rate, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s reputation would be utterly ruined.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, \"Brother Yang, hold your horses. Since they are taking the road to ruin themselves, that''s also up to them.\"


    Yang Rui said in puzzlement, \"Do you know some things?\"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, \"Don''t know, merely just took some extra precaution. Fighting with this bunch of despicable villains, how can one not pay a little more attention?\"


    With Ye Yuan saying so, Yang Rui did not have confidence in his heart anymore.


    Right then, a gust of Yin wind suddenly howled at the Myriad Treasure Tower. Everyone all could not resist shuddering.


    Thud!


    Two figures were thrown into the crowd by no idea whom, falling heavily onto the ground.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Wang Su struggling to get up and said with a faint smile, \"Wang Su, didn''t expect that we''d meet again so soon. But isn''t it somewhat unfair for you to leave without bidding farewell?\"


    At this time, Wang Su and Wang Xuanfeng, the two people''s divine essence, they were sealed by Gui Yun. They could not even kill people even if they wanted to.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Wang Su''s expression became incomparably ugly.


    \"Ye Yuan, what do you mean? It''s not enough that you killed Jewelhill City''s Wang Family''s Wang Yuxiang father and son, now, you even want to provoke our Brightraise City''s main family?\" Wang Su said with a cold snort.


    Being framed by Wang Su, Ye Yuan was not worried either, saying with a faint smile, \"If people don''t offend me, I don''t offend people; if people offend me, I''ll definitely won''t spare them! It was you all who provoked me time and again, so how did it become me provoking you all? Heh heh, this ability to confound black and white, you guys are truly invincible under the heavens!\"


    Seeing that look of Ye Yuan that saw through everything, Wang Su''s heart involuntarily felt somewhat nervous.


    But upon thinking of his identity, he calmed down a little again.


    With the Wang Family''s strength, what did a mere middle-stage Two-star evil spirit count as?


    If he dared to touch him, he was dead for sure!


    His thought arriving here, Wang Su involuntarily plucked up his courage again.


    \"Heh, confounding black and white? You guys don''t dare to admit it after doing it! Wang Yuxiang''s corpse is placed here, could it be that you dare say that he wasn''t killed by you?\" Wang Su said with a cold smile.


    \"That''s right, Wang Yuxiang was indeed killed by me!\" Ye Yuan nodded his head and said nonchalantly.


    Wang Su was stunned. He originally thought that Ye Yuan would deny it outright and had long thought of his choice of words already.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually admitted it very shamelessly.


    This made the words that he thought of become useless all at once.


    Not just Wang Su, everyone present was in an uproar.


    They did not think that the Myriad Treasure Tower really used shady means and killed the Wang Family''s head elder, Wang Yuxiang!


    \"Heh, since you admitted it, then everything can naturally be discussed! I want to see how you''ll give an account to the Wang Family, how you explain to Jewelhill City''s martial artists!\" Wang Su said with righteous indignation.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with pity and said coolly, \"Explain? Explain what? Want to give an account, it''s also you who gives it. What happened in the City Lord Manor, you''re aware of it yourself.\"


    Wang Su said with a cold smile, \"Of course I''m aware! You plotted with Yang Rui, killing the Wang Family father and son with a venomous scheme! Does this matter still need to be explained? The Myriad Treasure Tower is so insidious and vicious. Everyone, make sure not to buy things here anymore in the future! Otherwise, you might die without even knowing how you died!\"


    Wang Su fanned the fire there, immediately obtaining many onlookers'' response.


    After all, Ye Yuan himself admitted it, this matter was equivalent to being set in stone.


    \"Ye Yuan, I''ll fight it out with you! You caused my family to be ruined, its members dead! Even if I die today, I''ll drag you to be buried in death too!\"


    By the side, Wang Pianran already could not hold back long ago, finally erupting, pouncing toward Ye Yuan with a body full of excessive flesh.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with her, kicking a foot over, sending the body of fatty flesh flying out.


    Such a tyrannical Ye Yuan made everyone give a sidelong glance even more.


    For a moment, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s image fell to rock-bottom in everyone''s mind.


    Seeing this kind of situation, Wang Su was incomparably thrilled in his heart.


    What he wanted was this effect!


    Ye Yuan looked at Wang Family with a smile that was not a smile, walked over towards him, and said while walking, \"Are you secretly taking delight in your heart? Do you feel that with the Wang Family as backing, I won''t dare to do anything to you? Do you think that I need to borrow your mouth to explain anything to everyone?\"


    Wang Su had goosebumps breakout being stared at by Ye Yuan''s gaze, his figure involuntarily falling back.


    \"You �� What do you want to do? I''m telling you, my big brother is Brightraise City''s deputy city lord! You, this bumpkin, definitely don''t know how powerful the Wang Family''s strength is! You �� If you dare to touch me, you''ll die without a burial ground!\" Wang Su said as his face turned pale while backing away.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, \"Wang Su, I really pity you! You think that you''re smart, thinking that everyone fears the Wang Family''s strength. Very sorry, I don''t care! Since you aren''t willing to say the truth, then there''s no need to say it anymore either!\"


    While talking, Ye Yuan suddenly attacked, destroying all of Wang Su''s vitality with one palm.


    Wang Su did not even get to scream and died until he could not die anymore.


    Seeing this scene, everyone was even more dumbstruck with amazement.


    The current Ye Yuan was simply a murderous demon king in their eyes.


    Killing people with a word of disagreement!


    The Yang Rui by the side was also startled inwardly. He did not think that Ye Yuan was so decisive in going for the kill, and actually really killed Wang Su.


    With this, the matter was somewhat troublesome.


    \"You �� You dared to kill Wang Su!\"


    Wang Xuanfeng was also stunned by this scene. He really did not expect that Ye Yuan was such a lunatic without any sense of judgment, to really dare to make a move and kill people.


    Ye Yuan looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, \"Now, it''s your turn, are you saying it or not? It''s fine if you don''t say anything. I can go and get the Lu Family and Lin Family, those two old fellows, here to tell it.\"

 1354 Utterly Devoid of Conscience!

    Bean-sized sweat beads seeped out on Wang Xuanfeng''s forehead. He did not doubt Ye Yuan''s words in the slightest.


    Originally, their understanding of Ye Yuan was an alchemist harmless to men and beasts.


    Now, that gentle image of Ye Yuan''s had long collapsed with a loud bang already. A smile of his currently gave people a feeling of terror.


    Everyone knew the terror of Brightraise City''s Wang Family, but Ye Yuan killed Wang Su without the slightest hesitation!


    This guy was too crazy!


    \"I �� I''ll say! I''ll say!\"


    Wang Xuanfeng could not withstand Ye Yuan''s oppression, finally loosening his mouth.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Remember to swear a Heavenly Dao oath.\"


    Wang Xuanfeng nodded his head helplessly, the last trace of hope leaving with it too.


    Swearing a Heavenly Dao oath, Wang Xuanfeng said everything that happened in the City Lord Manor, making everyone fear-stricken.


    The reality was totally opposite of what Wang Su said!


    The City Lord Manor allied with the three great families to coerce the Myriad Treasure Tower and sit idly and reap the fruits of others'' labor, simply shameless to the extreme.


    It was just that they did not expect Ye Yuan actually had such strength and did not fear their coercion at all!


    Only at this time did people know why Ye Yuan was so calm and collected.


    Not doing things that went against one''s conscience, one did not fear ghosts knocking at the door!


    The Wang Family courting death themselves, so how could others be blamed?


    Moreover, the Wang Family even sent three great elders to hunt Ye Yuan down previously. This enmity was long sowed already.


    Ye Yuan taking revenge was perfectly justified. Nobody dared to say anything.


    Rather, when that Wang Pianran heard finish these, her entire person stood transfixed there.


    She completely did not dare to believe that the truth of the matter was actually like this!


    Disregarding that Wang Su joined hands with Chen Yongnian to kill her father, they even wanted to instigate her group of people to come and frame the Myriad Treasure Tower!


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said to Wang Xuanfeng, \"Is that all? Wang Pianran, this fat woman, coming here, it''s probably not just splashing dirty water so simple, right?\"


    Wang Xuanfeng''s entire body trembled. He deliberately left a segment unsaid just now, out of fear of inciting public wrath.


    The Heavenly Dao oath he swore was also very clever, only saying that events that happened at the City Lord Manor on that day.


    He even thought that he could hide from Ye Yuan, but did not expect that Ye Yuan actually detected it keenly.


    \"N-No more!\"


    The stammering Wang Xuanfeng immediately aroused everybody''s suspicions.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, \"Really no more? Since there''s no more, then you have no value in being alive anymore as well. I''ll send you on your way here!\"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was scorching, staring at Wang Xuanfeng sternly.


    Wang Xuanfeng trembled, and he said stammeringly, \"Still �� Still have. Wang Su and Chen Yongnian came to an agreement to send people to exterminate the entire Wang Family tonight, then count this score on Ye Yuan''s head! This way, Brightraise City''s main family will have sufficient excuse to send a punitive expedition and forcefully kill Ye Yuan!\"


    Wang Xuanfeng''s words were even more bone-piercingly cold than that gust of Yin wind Gui Yun brought just now.


    This Wang Su was simply utterly devoid of conscience, to actually want to exterminate his branch family!


    It was not too much for this kind of person to die a hundred times!


    When Ye Yuan killed people just now, they still felt that Ye Yuan killed people without batting an eyelid.


    Looking at it now, well done!


    Liberating!


    Wang Pianran was quivering at one side, afraid, but even more so, it was anger.


    Not only did this Wang Su deceive them and make use of them, he even wanted to exterminate every last one of them!


    Her father requesting help from their main family was simply inviting a wolf into the house!


    Wang Su''s actions made her have a feeling akin to falling into an ice cellar.


    \"I �� I said all that I know, so can �� you can let me go?\" Wang Xuanfeng asked weakly.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, \"Since you''ve restored my innocence, you can naturally go.\"


    Wang Xuanfeng felt akin to being granted amnesty and was just about to leave, but had the exit blocked by the Wang Family''s people.


    The Wang Family''s people all wore mourning attires, glaring at Wang Xuanfeng.


    The Wang Family''s people were long burning with rage already.


    They were sold by Wang Su and even had to help him count the money.


    This feeling of being cheated, this sense of humiliation, already made them lose their reason.


    Unfortunately, Wang Xuanfeng had his divine sea sealed currently, unable to utilize divine essence at all.


    Wang Xuanfeng''s expression changed, falling back several steps, but discovered that the path to the rear was already blocked by people.


    \"You �� What are you guys trying to do? Every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt its debtor! All of this was done by Wang Su, it had nothing to do with me! If you all let me leave, I''ll tell the main family and let them come and assist you!\" Wang Xuanfeng said with a fearful look.


    \"Humph! Let you leave, then bring a group of people to come and eradicate our Jewelhill City''s branch family?\"


    \"Even if this thing was done by Wang Su, you''re an insider! You didn''t stop him from doing so as well, it''s tantamount to acquiescence!\"


    \"You''re a member of Wang Family too! Passively watching members of the same clan killing each other, your conscience is eaten by dogs!\"


    ...


    The Wang Family''s people were all furious to the extreme, wishing to swallow Wang Xuanfeng whole.


    Wang Xuanfeng was a lamb awaiting slaughter at this time. He shouted to Ye Yuan in despair, \"Ye Yuan, I already said everything I know. You promised to let me go!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"I already let you go. Right now, it''s the Wang Family not letting you go. It has nothing to do with me!\"


    Wang Xuanfeng howled in despair: \"Ye Yuan, you �� you''re despicable!\"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, \"Compared to you all, my this bit of so-called despicable is really child''s play! Alright, today''s farce is over. Everybody, all scatter!\"


    Just as the Wang Family''s people said, even if Wang Xuanfeng did not take part in the planning, he was an insider at the very least.


    He could completely stop Wang Su, but he did not.


    This kind of utterly devoid of conscience person, Ye Yuan did not plan on letting him go at all.


    Finally, the Wang Family''s people directly hauled Wang Xuanfeng away. When they left, they even did not forget to bring along Wang Su''s corpse.


    As for how to deal with Wang Xuanfeng in the end, that was the Wang Family''s business.


    Presumably, he did not have any good ending too.


    It was night, a series of heart-wrenching cries came from the Wang Family''s manor, lasting a whole night before ceasing.


    The second day, quite a number of people circled around the Wang Family''s manor curiously but discovered that the Wang Family''s front door was wide open, inside long devoid of people already.


    The bold ones entered to take a look and directly vomited out stomach acid.


    Wang Xuanfeng''s death state need not be said, even Wang Su, this dead person, was also rendered without a human form.


    The Wang Family''s members'' wrath could be imagined.


    But what made people surprised was that the Wang Family seemed to have disappeared into thin air, thoroughly vanishing from Jewelhill City.


    ...


    \"Ye Yuan, you were too reckless! You killed Wang Su, buried Wang Xuanfeng alive. Brightraise City''s Wang Family definitely won''t let this matter go! I heard that Wang Song isn''t to be trifled with!\" Yang Rui said to Ye Yuan in earnest.


    But Ye Yuan said without a care, \"The grudge is long sowed already! You saw it too. Even if I don''t kill him, he won''t let me go either. This kind of person will never know to be grateful!\"


    Yang Rui sighed and said, \"Makes sense! But this time, the Wang Family is considered to have thoroughly stumbled! Really didn''t expect that they actually had such courage, mobilizing the entire clan. It''s just, I can''t figure it out, the Wang Family''s formidable people are all dead. Who presided over this exodus, leaving the city? One has to know that they did not even startle the City Lord Manor!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"If I didn''t guess wrongly, it''s probably that fat woman!\"


    Yang Rui said in surprise, \"Wang Pianran? How is that possible?\"


    \"Huhu, people will grow up! That woman isn''t stupid. In the past, there were Wang Yuxiang and Wang Lingbo protecting her. She could act arbitrarily and recklessly. But yesterday, outside the Myriad Treasure Tower''s door, I noticed that the expression in her eyes changed!\" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

 1355 Wang Song Arrives!

    Bang!


    The teacup in Wang Song''s hands was directly crushed into fine powder by him.


    \"Ye Yuan? Good! Very good! There''s actually really someone who dares to climb on top of my head! I''ll let you know what''s called blood debts will be paid in blood!\"


    Wang Song gnashed his teeth in hatred, his two eyes virtually spitting fire.


    If rage could kill, the Ye Yuan ten thousand miles away would have long been burned to death by him countless already.


    He had just received intel from Jewelhill City''s City Lord Manor that his younger brother, Wang Su, and the Wang Family''s Two-star alchemist, Wang Xuanfeng, both died at the hands of a boy called Ye Yuan at Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower!


    This news made Wang Song tremble with rage.


    Wang Song was much older than Wang Su. To him, it could be said to be like a brother and father. The two brothers had very deep feelings.


    Over 30 years ago, the family received Jewelhill City''s Wang Family''s request for help. It was even him who suggested to the family to let Wang Su bring Wang Xuanfeng over to assist.


    This kind of small matter, he felt that letting Wang Su go and temper himself, it was to take over the position of family head in the future.


    He did not expect that it claimed his brother''s little life.


    As for him, his ambition did not lie in Brightraise City. A tiny little Wang Family could not trap him, this dragon hiding in deep waters.


    \"Come, men!\" Wang Song roared furiously.


    \"My lord!\" A manservant entered and answered carefully.


    \"Prepared a flying dragon divine colt for me, right now! Immediately! At once!\"


    The manservant''s expression changed, and he repeatedly voiced his assent.


    The flying dragon divine colt was a divine beast, its speed several dozen times faster than the flying dragon colt, incomparably precious.


    Even in the entire Brightraise City, there were only less than five. Three of them belonged to the City Lord Manor.


    Wang Song asked for the flying dragon divine colt straight away. It could be seen how furious he was at this moment.


    Before long, a person and a mount galloped, akin to a sharp sword, rushing out of Brightraise City.


    ...


    After the Wang Family disappeared from Jewelhill City, Jewelhill City entered a strangely peaceful period.


    City Lord Manor was abnormally low-key, low-key until it was as if it did not exist.


    Regarding the matter of Wang Su being killed, they did not even let out a fart.


    Of course, they did not have the face to let it out either.


    As for Ye Yuan, he entered a state of closed-seclusion once more.


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan was currently assaulting late-stage Grotto Profound in full force. In a blink, it was half a year''s time.


    However, Ye Yuan discovered to his dismay that this was not an easy matter.


    The Essence Cultivating Pills were not enough for him to consume at all!


    The Essence Cultivating Pills consumed by his cultivation alone could virtually be put on par with the Essence Cultivating Pills sold by the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    The spirit medicines to refine the Essence Cultivating Pill were naturally much more expensive than the Divine Essence Pill.


    Even if backed by the Myriad Treasure Tower, this kind of major faction, it was also not possible to supply Ye Yuan''s limitless consumption.


    In desperation, Ye Yuan could only rely on absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy to cultivate.


    It was just that this way, the progress was undoubtedly much slower.


    \"Just what kind of cultivation method did I create? This is simply a bottomless hole! No matter how many divine essence stones, it also can''t afford this kind of expenditure!\" After cultivating, Ye Yuan said to Dustless with a bitter smile.


    Dustless was long numb already and said coolly, \"Stop showing off your cleverness after coming off cheap! Once this cultivation method of yours circulates out, the entire Heavenspan World is bound to be shocked. It can''t dispense with a bout of sanguinary slaughter. Right now, even if you absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy to cultivate, the speed is also ten times faster than others.\"


    Ye Yuan said, \"Although it''s like that, this consumption is truly too costly as well. It looks like the majority of my effort in the future will still have to be placed on earning divine essence stones!\"


    Dustless nodded and said, \"That''s true. As long as there are sufficient resources, your cultivation speed is simply outrageous to hear. The things that other people use a thousand years to be able to accomplish, you only need a hundred years, and it''s enough!\"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, \"Looks like you have to go to Wu Meng Capital City as soon as possible. Jewelhill City is too small. Even if one has divine essence stones, they can''t buy so many resources either!\"


    Dustless also said, \"Mm, it''s time to leave. However �� that Liang Family''s little lass, how do you plan on handling this?\"


    Ye Yuan froze, thought about it, and said, \"Bring along then. I''ve offended all of Jewelhill City''s major factions. I can''t rest easy leaving her behind here. With Chen Yongnian''s personality, he might vent the anger on her.\"


    Dustless said, \"Mm, may as well. That lass''s looks are pretty good. If you like, taking her in works too. Us cultivators, what does a few more Dao companions count as?\"


    Ye Yuan''s face turned black, and he said, \"Not saving Lingxue, this Ye won''t marry for life! Senior, don''t say this kind of words anymore.\"


    But Dustless said with a smile that was not a smile, \"Then if come one day, you really bring that girl back?\"


    Ye Yuan could not help choking when he heard that, falling silent.


    This question, he had never considered it before.


    Perhaps, he was unwilling to consider.


    ...


    Boom!


    Myriad Treasure Tower''s front door was blasted by someone with one punch.


    \"Have Ye Yuan scram outside for this city lord! Otherwise, I, Wang Song, will tear this Myriad Treasure Tower down today!\"


    Half a year already passed; Wang Song finally rushed to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    His actions immediately drew countless people to surround and watch.


    Wang Song''s aura billowed to the sky, the strength of late-stage Heaven Glimpse erupting without a doubt.


    He was so simple and crude. He did not need any reason at all.


    He was here to kill people!


    Blood for blood!


    \"Who is this person? What powerful strength!\"


    \"Yeah, this person is late-stage Heaven Glimpse realm; even stronger than City Lord, His Excellency! When did the Myriad Treasure Tower provoke such a powerful existence again?\"


    \"Ah, I remember! Wang Song, isn''t he that Wang Su''s elder brother? He''s here to take revenge!\"


    ...


    Wang Song did not hide anything. Very soon, someone guessed his identity and was extremely shocked.


    Brightraise City''s deputy city lord actually rushed straight to Jewelhill City.


    Brightraise City and Jewelhill City were extremely far away. Even riding a flying dragon colt, one trip also needed two to three year''s time.


    Now, just half a year passed, Wang Song actually rushed over already.


    Wang Song stirring up such a huge commotion, it naturally alarmed the Myriad Treasure Tower''s people.


    Very soon, Yang Rui appeared.


    His brows furrowed and he said solemnly, \"Wang Song, what''s the meaning of this? Could it be that you think my Myriad Treasure Tower is easy to bully?\"


    Wang Song said coolly, \"The Myriad Treasure Tower isn''t easy to bully, but �� Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower is very easy to bully! You''re Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s tower lord, right? Hand over Ye Yuan. Otherwise, this Wang will demolish your lousy tower today!\"


    Wang Song''s aura was threatening, not putting Yang Rui in his sights at all.


    Yang Rui''s bit of strength was not even enough to fill the crevices between his teeth.


    Yang Rui was livid with rage and said grimly, \"If I don''t hand over the person?\"


    Wang Song''s eyes narrowed. A cold light flashed past. Raising his hand, it was a palm!


    Yang Rui did not expect Wang Song to attack at once. Caught unprepared, he only felt a surge of power that toppled mountains and overturned the seas crush over towards him.


    Bang!


    Virtually without the least bit of strength to retaliate, Yang Rui was smashed flying.


    Wang Song was brimming with killing intent as he said solemnly, \"This palm is considered a lesson. Don''t think that I really don''t dare to kill you! In front of me, you''re no different from an ant! Even if I really kill you, what can the Myriad Treasure Tower do to me?\"


    Wang Song was incomparably overbearing, not putting the Myriad Treasure Tower in his eyes at all.


    Indeed, with his identity, he did not need to fear the Myriad Treasure Tower at all!

 1356 Gui Yuns Strength!

    Wang Song was still somewhat fearful of Yang Rui''s identity in the end. That was why he did not deal a killing blow.


    Except, he was backed by the Wang Family, his talent and strength outstanding. He could really not take Yang Rui seriously.


    His overbearingness made everyone give a sidelong glance.


    Yang Rui struggled to his feet and glared at Wang Song as he said, \"If you have the capability, kill me!\"


    Wang Song did not expect that Yang Rui was so steadfast. But Yang Rui''s steadfastness triggered Wang Song''s killing intent even more.


    \"Heh, gutsy! Are you challenging my bottom line? Then �� as you wish!\"


    Wang Song took one step at a time, walking into the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    The powerful aura simply made people unable to look right at him.


    Right at this time, a figure slowly walked out, blocking at the entrance.


    Wang Song''s brows furrowed, and he said disdainfully, \"A middle-stage Grotto Profound also dares to be a mantis trying to stop a chariot? Scram for this city lord!\"


    A single ''scram'' sounded like a great bell, crushing over towards Ye Yuan.


    A hint of a mocking faint smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, accepting this sound wave attack very calmly.


    What a joke, Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God was god knows how many times more profound than this.


    For a mere sound wave to want to make Ye Yuan avoid it, it was undoubtedly a fool''s talk.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s cool and collected appearance, Wang Song finally looked squarely at this middle-stage Grotto Profound in front of him.


    \"Who are you? Those who bar me die!\" Wang Song said coldly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, \"Aren''t you here to kill me? I''m already standing in front of you, and you don''t recognize me?\"


    Wang Song''s expression changed. Rage instantly filled his chest.


    \"You''re Ye Yuan? Indeed have some skill! But you''re too weak!\" Wang Song said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, \"Your opponent isn''t me.\"


    While talking, a gust of Yin wind howled past. Gui Yun''s figure appeared at Ye Yuan''s side.


    Wang Song''s pupils constricted but did not reveal a look of surprise.


    Chen Yongnian already told him in the message that Ye Yuan had a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit by his side, his strength uncommon.


    \"A mere middle-stage Two-star evil spirit! Do you think that this city lord can''t do anything to you? Today, you''re dead for sure!\" Wang Song said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan shot a glance at Yang Rui who was not far away. His voice gradually became cold as he said, \"The Wang Family''s people are indeed all unreasonable when doing things! However, Brother Yang''s enmity, this Ye will note it down today! There will come a day where you''ll pay the price!\"


    Wang Song chortled with laughter and said, \"Hahaha �� that will also have to wait until you have this day! Do you think that you can still survive past today?\"


    Amidst the laughter, Wang Song''s aura suddenly erupted. The divine essence of middle-stage Heaven Glimpse instantly surged between heaven and earth.


    \"Taiyi True Dipper Fist! Die for me!\" Wang Song roared, smashing a fist towards Gui Yun.


    \"It''s actually the Taiyi True Dipper Fist! This is one of Wu Meng Academy''s six supreme skills, its power boundless!\"


    \"This Wang Song is indeed not what that incompetent young brother of his can compare to! Those able to cultivate the Taiyi True Dipper Fist are all elites of Wu Meng Academy.\"


    \"Late-stage Heaven Glimpse versus a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit, even using such a powerful martial technique, this simply has no suspense!\"


    The moment Wang Song''s Taiyi True Dipper Fist was unleashed, it immediately aroused a wave of exclamations in the crowd.


    As Wu Meng Capital City''s highest academy. Wu Meng Academy naturally had countless cultivation methods and martial techniques.


    But there were six great skills that were the most famous among them. This Taiyi True Dipper Fist was one of them.


    This was not some secret within the Wu Meng Academy''s jurisdiction. Many geniuses entered the Wu Meng Academy aiming for these six supreme techniques.


    But, even if they enter the Wu Meng Academy, those able to learn these six great techniques were also just the minority.


    However, Wang Song actually learned the Taiyi True Dipper Fist. His status in the Wu Meng Academy could be imagined.


    This fist of Wang Song harbored the intention of directly crushing Gui Yun. Hence, he went all out.


    That power was simply dreadful!


    When had Jewelhill City''s martial artists seen such a powerful martial technique before? All dumbstruck with amazement.


    Gui Yun''s gaze turned intent. Flipping his hand, there was an additional Soul Beckoning Streamer. It was precisely the Myriad Soul Flag.


    Ever since Ye Yuan obtained the Myriad Soul Flag, he basically never really used it.


    He did not lack divine artifacts. This Myriad Soul Flag was not too suitable for him as well. Hence, he saved it all along.


    All the way until he met Gui Yun, did he hand him this profound divine artifact.


    With Gui Yun''s strength, using this Myriad Soul Flag was just nice.


    Through a bout of refining, the Myriad Soul Flag already recovered to its peak period strength.


    Facing this powerful strike, Gui Yun''s expression turned solemn, directly bringing out the Myriad Soul Flag!


    \"Ghost Dao Hundred Runes �� Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts!\"


    Immediately, whimpering sounds echoed out. Heaven and earth changed colors because of it!


    The screams of countless ferocious ghosts sounded out. Countless ghostly silhouettes dashed out from inside the Myriad Soul Flag, meeting this punch of Wang Song''s.


    Boom!


    The fierce punch directly scattered these ferocious ghosts, shocking Gui Yun back several steps.


    But Gui Yun was perfectly unscathed!


    The powerful Taiyi True Dipper Fist was actually stopped by Gui Yun!


    Wang Song''s expression changed, and he said solemnly, \"Profound divine artifact!\"


    This result made everyone incomparably astounded.


    \"Actually blocked it! How is this possible?\"


    \"How can this middle-stage Two-star evil spirit''s strength be so powerful? Looking at this appearance, if other late-stage Heaven Glimpse martial artists came, they might not even be that evil spirit''s match!\"


    \"No wonder Ye Yuan had no fear! Other people provoking the Wang Family, this existence, would have long run. But he kept on waiting here for them to visit!\"


    ...


    Late-stage Heaven Glimpse versus a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit, this was virtually an overwhelming strength.


    Furthermore, what Wang Song used was even the Taiyi True Dipper Fist, this kind of powerful martial technique.


    Even so, he still failed to take Gui Yun down!


    This scene was even more astonishing than Wang Song using the Taiyi True Dipper Fist.


    How could these people know the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes'' prowess? That was a Ghost Dao pinnacle cultivation method containing the maxim of Great Dao.


    Even though Gui Yun only comprehended one ghost rune, borrowing the power of a profound divine artifact, he could already forcefully clash with Wang Song, this kind of powerhouse.


    Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan sit here and wait to die?


    Wang Song''s face was livid. He completely did not expect that Ye Yuan''s Two-star evil spirit''s strength was actually so strong!


    Just now, he still pledged in all solemness to make Ye Yuan die. But now, he discovered that he was thinking too much.


    Gui Yun this hurdle was not easy to clear!


    \"This city lord doesn''t believe that a mere middle-stage Two-star evil spirit can really block my Taiyi True Dipper Fist! I want to see how many fists of mine you can block!\"


    Wang Song''s face fell, mustering up the Taiyi True Dipper Fist once more, crushing over towards Gui Yun.


    Gui Yun''s expression changed. The Myriad Soul Flag attacked once more!


    \"Halt!\"


    Right at this time, an even more appalling aura suddenly intercepted in the middle, directly sending Wang Song and Gui Yun flying.


    \"Who is it, to dare ruin this city lord''s good thing?\" Wang Song got up and said angrily.


    An old man parted the crowd and slowly came between Wang Song and Gui Yun.


    Everyone used a surprised gaze to look at the old man. To be able to flick Gui Yun and Wang Song flying so casually, how terrifying was this old man''s strength?


    Seeing the arrival, Wang Song''s expression involuntarily changed, and he exclaimed, \"Teacher, why are you here?\"

 1357 Kicking a Metal Plate

    The old man furrowed his brows, clearly not recognizing Wang Song for a moment.


    \"You''re a student of Wu Meng Academy?\" said the old man in puzzlement.


    Wang Family went forward to bow and said, \"Student Wang Song, Brightraise City''s Wang Family''s disciple, an inner-court earth camp student. I was fortunate to have attended Teacher Xiao''s alchemy lesson before.\"


    The old man came to a realization and said, \"So that''s how it is. Looking at your appearance, you should be carrying out a mission outside, right? Why did you get into a conflict with the Myriad Treasure Tower?\"


    Wang Song could not help being alarmed when he heard and hurriedly pointed at Ye Yuan and said, \"Teacher, don''t misunderstand it. I didn''t get into a clash with the Myriad Treasure Tower, but that punk killed my younger brother. I came to find him to take revenge! He''s Jewelhill City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist and not considered a member of the Myriad Treasure Tower ��\"


    He knew that this one in front of him was Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist!


    This old man was precisely Xiao Feng who came from afar!


    He ran to the Myriad Treasure Tower to kill people and just happened to get caught by him in the act. How could he not explain clearly?


    This one''s status in Wu Meng Capital City was too high. Even Wu Meng Academy hired him to be a guest teacher.


    Him dealing with the Myriad Treasure Tower, it was fine if his teacher did not encounter him. However, the latter happened to come across him!


    Wang Song was currently talking and discovered that Xiao Feng''s expression became very ugly, and even though that his teacher was outraged on his behalf. He could not help feeling pleased with himself inwardly.


    He believed that his teacher would stand on his side.


    After all, Ye Yuan was not considered the Myriad Treasure Tower''s people, while he was considered as Xiao Feng''s student.


    \"Is his name Ye Yuan?\" Xiao Feng asked with a solemn face.


    Wang Song was currently talking. Suddenly being cut off by Xiao Feng, he could not help choking up and said with a nod, \"That''s right. He''s called Ye Yuan.\"


    Xiao Feng''s expression changed and no longer bothered with Wang Song. He hurriedly came before Ye Yuan and said joyfully, \"You''re Ye Yuan, Little Brother Ye?\"


    Everyone was collectively petrified!


    An Origin Deity Realm powerhouse called Ye Yuan as Little Brother Ye?


    The most shocked was none other than Wang Song.


    Other people did not recognize Xiao Feng, but Wang Song knew his status in Wu Meng Capital City.


    Even the City Lord Manor had to look to him for help!


    In Wu Meng Capital City, Origin Deity Realm powerhouses were not easily found, but there were still always some around.


    But peak Three-star Alchemy Gods could be counted on one''s fingers!


    Even Wang Song himself held this teacher in esteem too.


    But now, his teacher actually addressed Ye Yuan as his brother.


    This was too subverting!


    In that tone, it even carried a trace of �� respect!


    That was right. It was respect!


    Ye Yuan did not know Xiao Feng and could not see through his depths either. He just said coolly, \"You''re the Three-star Alchemy God that the Myriad Treasure Tower sent?\"


    Xiao Feng froze and said, \"You knew that I was coming? This old man is Xiao Feng, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist. Uh �� I''m also Wu Meng Academy''s guest teacher.\"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s gaze swept toward Wang Song, Xiao Feng supplemented a sentence.


    He was very astonished. When Ye Yuan saw him, there was no surprise in his gaze at all, as if everything was within expectation.


    A Three-star Alchemy God, even an ordinary Three-star Alchemy God, also rarely condescended to capitulate their standing, and come to Jewelhill City, this kind of place.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, \"Are you carrying healing medicinal pills on you?\"


    Xiao Feng froze again, but seeing the heavily injured Yang Rui, he understood very quickly. He fished out a medicinal pill, handing it to Ye Yuan.


    \"If the medicinal strength of Three-star divine pills, he definitely can''t withstand it. I only have this Two-star high-grade Divine Healing Pill on me. The medicinal strength might be quite strong, so let him take half,\" Xiao Feng said rather embarrassedly.


    Xiao Feng as a peak Three-star Alchemy God, why would he carry that many Two-star medicinal pills on him? That was also too deigning.


    A Two-star Divine Healing Pill was already the lousiest medicinal pill on him.


    Ye Yuan received that Divine Healing Pill and broke the medicinal pill into two halves for Yang Rui to consume before saying, \"Thank you very much, Master Xiao Feng!\"


    This scene made everyone endlessly envious.


    That was a Two-star high-grade divine pill. Even if one had money, they could not buy it in this Jewelhill City too.


    \"What background does this Ye Yuan have? That old man is the Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist! Such a major figure is actually so courteous toward a junior!\"


    \"Speaking of which, this Ye Yuan is really incomparably mysterious. A puny little middle-stage Grotto Profound actually subdued a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit.\"


    \"Yeah! There''s even the Essence Cultivating Pill! Ah, do you guys think �� this old man wouldn''t be here for the Essence Cultivating Pill, right?\"


    \"Very likely! This medicinal pill is too incredible! It''s impossible for the Myriad Treasure Tower to not be moved. Heh heh, the Wang Family''s people were arrogant and domineering. With this, they kicked a metal plate!\"


    ...


    There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, guessing close to the mark as well.


    It was just that they never would have dreamed that Xiao Feng coming to find Ye Yuan was actually to learn how to refine the Essence Cultivating Pill from him.


    A peak Three-star Alchemy God finding a One-star Alchemy God to learn pill refinement, no one would believe it even if it was spread out.


    The expression of Wang Song by the side was incomparably ugly. He knew that Ye Yuan could not be killed today.


    But Xiao Feng being here, he did not dare to leave either. It was truly unbelievably awkward.


    What was laughable was that he still said that he wanted to demolish the Myriad Treasure Tower previously and kill Ye Yuan. Now, the big talk was utterly too big and could not be taken back.


    The medicinal pill that Xiao Feng refined was indeed powerful. The injuries on Yang Rui''s body took a turn for the better very soon.


    He struggled to get up, and then he respectfully gave a deep bow toward Xiao Feng, saying, \"Jewelhill City''s Tower Lord, Yang Rui, pays respects to Elder Xiao!\"


    He was similarly incomparably shocked in his heart. He was previously still half-dubious, half-believing of Ye Yuan''s words. He did not think that upstairs actually sent Xiao Feng, this big shot, here!


    Yang Rui knew that Xiao Feng was Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower''s pillar.


    He was still secretly speculating in his heard. It wouldn''t be that even Elder Xiao could not refine the Essence Cultivating Pill either, right?


    It was very likely!


    If Elder Xiao could refine it, upstairs probably would not send people over.


    The more he thought, the more astounded Yang Rui got.


    \"En, it''s been hard on Tower Lord Yang.\"


    Toward Yang Rui, Xiao Feng just nodded his head nonchalantly. This was still looking on account of Ye Yuan''s face.


    Normally, Yang Rui did not have the qualifications to meet him at all.


    Xiao Feng turned to Ye Yuan again and asked, \"Little Brother Ye, I wonder what''s with this incident here today?\"


    One was his student, one was the Myriad Treasure Tower. He naturally had to figure things out properly and not deal with it casually.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, \"The right and wrong, the entire Jewelhill City is all very clear. His younger brother''s death is nobody''s fault but his own, can''t blame others!\"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan briefly recounted the matter of the Wang Family, making Xiao Feng frowned heavily.


    Xiao Feng shot Wang Song a glance and said furrowed brows, \"Wang Song, I wonder if you have anything to say?\"


    Wang Song''s expression was very ugly. Chen Yongnian did not say so detailed in the message. He just said how cruel Ye Yuan was, killing his younger brother.


    Anger rushed to his head, and he immediately rushed over.


    But he did not expect the whole story of the incident was actually like this.


    However, in his heart he did not feel that Wang Su did anything wrong.


    His younger brother wanted to kill, you should stick your head out and let him kill!


    But, at this moment, he had no choice but to lower his head too.


    He knew that this one in front of him could not be offended!


    As for Ye Yuan, he could only give the matter further thought.


    \"It �� It was this student who didn''t figure out the whole story. When I heard that my younger brother was killed, I was unbelievably resentful and indignant in my heart. I directly rushed over,\" Wang Song said unwillingly.


    \"Since it''s your fault, then apologize to Little Brother Ye and let this matter drop!\" Xiao Feng said coolly.

 1358 Suddenly Enlightened!

    \"This Wang Family''s person is really funny, coming to kill people without forethought. In the end, he even had to extend a formal apology!\"


    \"Heh, whether it''s really don''t know or feigning ignorance, only he himself is clear in his heart, right?\"


    \"Either way, the Wang Family doesn''t have anyone good. With a younger brother like that, there is bound to be an older brother like that too! The younger brother is so utterly devoid of conscience, and this elder brother probably isn''t any better.\"


    ...


    The current Wang Song was pressed to the extreme. Making him apologize to the enemy who killed his younger brother, this was simply unprecedented humiliation to him.


    In his eyes, Xiao Feng was too obviously biased towards Ye Yuan. This made him indignant in his heart.


    Except, Xiao Feng''s status in Wu Meng Capital City is extremely revered. Forget about him, even the entire Wang Family could not afford to offend.


    \"En?\"


    Seeing Wang Song waveringly hesitantly, Xiao Feng clearly became somewhat impatient.


    Wang Song''s entire body trembled, and he said unwillingly, \"This little brother, it was I who was reckless beforehand, hope that little brother forgives!\"


    Whether an apology was sincere or not, Ye Yuan could naturally discern with one glance.


    This kind of arrogant at heart and haughty in manner person would only feel that it was all other people''s fault. How could he feel that it was his fault?


    Immediately, Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, i Deputy City Lord Wang this brother, this Ye is unworthy to become friends with! In the future, if you want to find this Ye to take revenge again, this Ye will take it all!\"


    Xiao Feng was rather surprised. This Ye Yuan was so domineering.


    Brightraise City''s Wang Family''s power, he was naturally aware.


    Ordinary people really could not afford to offend such a major family.


    Ye Yuan''s words were equivalent to declaring war on the entire Wang Family.


    Could it be that this Ye Yuan was a fox assuming the majesty of a tiger, borrowing his strength to make the other party lower his head?


    Thinking of this, he could not help spurning Ye Yuan slightly.


    But this young man''s alchemy strength was indeed remarkable. If he could have him join the Myriad Treasure Tower because of this, there was no harm either.


    Wang Song had an embarrassed look as he said, \"Not at all, not at all, why would I? Teacher, if there''s nothing, Wang Song will take my leave here.\"


    \"Go on,\" Xiao Feng said coolly.


    Getting Xiao Feng''s approval, Wang Song was akin to being granted amnesty, fleeing like flying.


    This place, he could not stay for a moment longer.


    With that farce ending, Yang Rui welcomed Xiao Feng into the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    \"Yang Rui never dreamed that Elder Xiao would actually personally descend upon Jewelhill City and failed to welcome. Hope that Elder Xiao doesn''t blame this Yang Rui!\" Yang Rui said politely again.


    Yang Rui was very perplexed. Why would the likes of Xiao Feng easily come to Jewelhill City, this kind of place?


    If it was just in order to learn the Essence Cultivating Pill, it was truly making a big fuss over nothing.


    Xiao Feng smiled and said, \"I believe that you also know, I came for Little Brother Ye. This Essence Cultivating Pill is extraordinary!\"


    Ye Yuan said, \"This Ye is very surprised too. With Master''s status, you actually came to Jewelhill City personally. This Essence Cultivating Pill, an initial-stage Three-star Alchemy God should already be able to comprehend it.\"


    These words coming out of a One-star Alchemy God''s mouth appeared very ridiculous.


    Except, regardless of whether it was Xiao Feng or Yang Rui, they both felt that these words had nothing wrong.


    Xiao Feng was a peak Three-star Alchemy God. A Tier 1 divine pill that even he could not refine, it could be seen how incredible this medicinal pill was.


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not know how impressive Three-star Alchemy Gods were. This standard was also Dustless explaining to him to hear.


    It was just that when he saw that Divine Healing Pill, Ye Yuan knew that this one in front of him absolutely could not be underestimated.


    \"Everyone has their shortcomings and merits. Little Brother Ye, why not �� let''s start?\" Xiao Feng said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of being long-winded either, directly saying, \"Elder Xiao, please!\"


    ...


    Wang Song did not leave Jewelhill City, but he directly entered the City Lord Manor.


    Seeing Chen Yongnian, Wang Song naturally could not dispense with a bout of grumbling.


    \"Dear me, my brother Wang! How would I know that Teacher Xiao will appear in Jewelhill City? Looks like the Essence Cultivating Pill has already alarmed the Myriad Treasure Tower''s upper echelons! But, could it be that �� even Teacher Xiao, this kind of alchemy master, can''t refine the Essence Cultivating Pill too?\"


    Thinking up to this point, Chen Yongnian and Wang Song exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment from the other party''s eyes.


    A mere middle-grade Tier 1 divine pill actually startled a peak Three-star Alchemy God. This was simply too inconceivable.


    They only knew that the Essence Cultivating Pill was good stuff, but did not know how difficult it was to refine the Essence Cultivating Pill.


    Now, with Xiao Feng as a reference, they finally had a clear understanding.


    \"Is this Essence Cultivating Pill really so amazing?\" Wang Song frowned and said.


    \"Heh, more than amazing! Before this, I''d once taken a superior-grade Essence Cultivating Pill, and can you guess the result?\" Chen Yongnian said.


    \"What?\" Wang Song had his curiosity stirred by Chen Yongnian and could not resist asking.


    \"Not hiding from you, before consuming the Essence Cultivating Pill, my realm already hasn''t moved in ten years!\"


    Wang Song''s gaze turned intent, revealing a dumbfounded look.


    A middle-grade Tier 1 divine pill actually had an effect on middle-grade Heaven Glimpse middle-grade. This was simply inconceivable!


    At this moment, he finally knew why Xiao Feng came to Jewelhill City from very far away.


    Ye Yuan''s value was too great!


    Wang Song''s expression became very ugly. If it was really like this, it would not be so easy for him to want to deal with Ye Yuan.


    \"The matter is somewhat troublesome! With Teacher Xiao as his backer, my younger brother''s enmity will probably never be avenged!\" Wang Song gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said this.


    Chen Yongnian felt his head swell too. He was also put in a wretched state by Ye Yuan. Now, he was already without prestige in Jewelhill City.


    Not killing Ye Yuan, it was hard to dispel the hatred in his heart!


    Suddenly, Chen Yongnian''s mind stirred and he said, \"Brother Wang, since the Myriad Treasure Tower already obtained the Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula, why not �� let''s report this matter to the capital city!\"


    Wang Song''s eyes lit up, but they dimmed down again very quickly. He said, \"No doubt the capital city can''t possibly sit by idly and remain indifferent, but if that punk hides in the Myriad Treasure Tower and not come out, we can''t do anything to him either!\"


    Chen Yongnian heaved a sigh and said, \"At this point, we can only take things one step at a time.\"


    ...


    With this, another half a year''s time passed.


    Even Xiao Feng himself also did not expect that he actually used an entire half a year''s time to break through this Essence Cultivating Pill''s last layer.


    Only upon hearing Ye Yuan expound on the Essence Cultivating Pill''s principles did Xiao Feng discover that turned out his understanding of Tier 1 divine pills was not as deep as he imagined.


    On the contrary, along with the passing of time, he discovered his ignorance more and more!


    It turned out that Tier 1 divine pills actually still had so many profound truths!


    In a trance, he seemed to have touched some incredible existence.


    \"I profited more from a conversation with you than ten years of studying books! Little Brother Ye, this half a year �� really let this old man see the light!\" Xiao Feng said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Senior is too modest. Many of your views had tremendous benefits to this Ye as well.\"


    This was not Ye Yuan currying favor, Xiao Feng''s peak Three-star Alchemy God status was absolutely not an undeserved reputation.


    His understanding of Alchemy Dao was clearly much deeper than Ye Yuan.


    Many things, he could operate from a strategically advantageous position, entering remotely, making Ye Yuan similarly be enlightened all of a sudden.


    Actually, this half a year was a mutual teaching process.


    Talking about this, Xiao Feng was even more amazed.


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension ability toward Alchemy Dao was too strong. Some originally very obscure things, he could often draw inferences and draw analogies!


    He finally knew why Ye Yuan could refine the Essence Cultivating Pill while he could not!

 1359 A Person With Stories

    \"Ye Yuan, your alchemy talent is astonishing. Why not �� officially join my Myriad Treasure Tower?\"


    Xiao Feng officially extended an invitation to Ye Yuan. He knew that Ye Yuan would definitely not refuse.


    Without the Myriad Treasure Tower''s protection, Ye Yuan was not enough to fill the crevices between the Wang Family''s teeth at all.


    He believed that Ye Yuan was a clever person and knew how to choose.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Many thanks for Senior''s appreciation. But this Ye already has a place to go.\"


    Ye Yuan''s reply made Xiao Feng stupefied. Clearly, this answer caught him somewhat off-guard.


    \"Ye Yuan, that Wang Family''s junior only apologized to you due to my pressure. It''s just that this way, he probably harbors even more grudge towards you. You probably �� don''t understand Brightraise City''s Wang Family''s strength yet, right?\" Xiao Feng advised Ye Yuan, thinking that the latter could not figure out the situation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"This Ye is naturally clear about this. But I have my own plans. But Senior rest assured, we still have a teacher-student relationship.\"


    Xiao Feng''s brows furrowed, not quite understanding Ye Yuan''s words.


    But very soon, he understood and said in surprise, \"You''re going to enter the Wu Meng Academy?\"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, \"Yes! Geniuses gather at Wu Meng Academy, this Ye looks forward to it very much!\"


    Xiao Feng felt rather flustered and urged, \"Ye Yuan, your alchemy talent is astonishing, even this old man sighs at my own inferiority! You can enjoy immense resources at the Myriad Treasure Tower and don''t have to go compete with the other juniors!\"


    Wu Meng Academy also placed emphasis on the nurturing of alchemists. But the most important thing was still martial arts.


    Going to Wu Meng Academy to be an ordinary student, the resources obtained were very limited. One even had to crack their heads to compete for resources with other students.


    In the Myriad Treasure Tower, Ye Yuan could dive into researching Alchemy Dao.


    With his talent, his future accomplishments would be limitless.


    In Xiao Feng''s view, Ye Yuan was attending to the superficials and neglecting the essentials here.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said nothing when he heard that. Clearly, he had already made up his mind.


    When Xiao Feng saw this, he just sighed and said, \"Forget it, forget it, since that''s the case, it''s up to you! You giving this Essence Cultivating Pill''s pill formula to the Myriad Treasure Tower, the Myriad Treasure Tower owes you a great favor. This is a bronze Myriad Treasure Token. Holding this token, you enjoy a 30% discount when purchasing goods at all Myriad Treasure Towers. Additionally, there are 10 million low-grade divine essence stones inside here. It''s not much, but just take it as the price of buying out the Essence Cultivating Pill.\"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up. He received the token and thanked: \"Many thanks, Senior!\"


    Laughing out, Xiao Feng scolded him, \"You brat, insisting on doing this kind of thing where you reject what''s near and seek that is far! If you were willing to join the Myriad Treasure Tower, why would you care about this discount?\"


    Xiao Feng really had the heart of loving a talent stirred, that was why he was like that.


    Living together for half a year, the two people could not help developing a sense of appreciation for one another.


    Unknowingly, Xiao Feng and Ye Yuan became friends despite a great difference in age just like that.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, \"Actually, it''s all the same. Entering the Wu Meng Academy, I can similarly go and listen to Senior''s lecture on Dao.\"


    Xiao Feng shook his head and said, \"You probably don''t have this opportunity anymore! This half a year, this old man gleaned considerable gains. After going back this time, I''ll probably be in closed-seclusion for a very long time!\"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, \"Could Senior be �� going to break through that layer of windowpane paper?\"


    Xiao Feng chortled with laughter and said, \"Maybe I can, perhaps I can''t. But, if I can, you''ll claim half the credit! This favor, this old man has received it!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"It''s Senior''s heavy accumulation of comprehension erupting, so what''s it got to do with me? However, Ye Yuan will congratulate Senior here first!\"


    Xiao Feng was already grand completion Origin Deity Realm. Advancing another step, that was Divine Lord Realm!


    How many powerhouses were blocked in front of this great realm?


    Those able to take this step were dukes and princes of a region!


    If Xiao Feng was really able to break through, it would naturally be a carp leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to the sky in one move!


    Xiao Feng laughed loudly and said, \"You brat, nothing tangible is in sight yet, and you''re already full of nonsense! This step is as hard as ascending to heaven, so how can it be that easy to break through? Alright, not talking about this anymore. Since you want to go to Wu Meng Capital City, why not just go together with this old man.\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Couldn''t ask for more!\"


    Dustless'' knowledge was unparalleled. But he was not a genuine alchemy god after all.


    Xiao Feng''s insights in Alchemy Dao was rather deep and gave Ye Yuan tremendous inspiration. Along the way, he could sit and debate on Dao with him.


    ...


    These few years, Liang Wanru lost a lot of weight.


    Gradually becoming thinner and pining away was roughly like this.


    \"Miss Wanru.\"


    That dream-haunting voice sounded out behind her, making her entire body tremble.


    \"Sir Ye! You �� You finally came to see Wanru!\"


    Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Liang Wanru''s tears could not help trickling down her cheeks.


    These few years, Ye Yuan constantly avoided her and virtually never came to see her before.


    Although she learned of Ye Yuan''s feelings from Hong Yin there, she could not forget Ye Yuan no matter what.


    That moment when Ye Yuan rescued her from the Liang Family''s dungeon, her heart could not hold anyone else anymore.


    Later on, Ye Yuan broke into the Wang Family and refined a divine pill.


    In Liang Wanru''s view, it was like a legend.


    Liang Wanru seemingly looking haggard, how could Ye Yuan not see it?


    He let out a sigh and said, \"Miss Wanru, why must you be like this?\"


    Liang Wanru rushed into Ye Yuan''s embrace all at once and said, \"Wanru doesn''t care! Really don''t care! Wanru already has nothing in the world, if even you don''t want me too, I �� I can only die!\"


    She was not scaring Ye Yuan. After she came out of the dungeon, Ye Yuan was already her sole conviction to live on.


    Ye Yuan lightly caressed her back and said with a bitter smile, \"Miss Wanru is this Ye''s savior, how can this Ye possibly not want you? It''s just that �� this Ye is really unable to accept your feelings!\"


    Ye Yuan sighed with melancholy, his words full of helplessness and pain.


    When Mu Lingxue sacrificed her divine soul to trigger Ice Sealing Ten Thousand Miles, it also froze Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Even Yue Mengli, who shared life and death with him, was also unable to melt this ice heart.


    Seemingly sensing Ye Yuan''s pain, Liang Wanru raised her head and looked at Ye Yuan, and involuntarily trembled.


    She discovered that the corners of Ye Yuan''s eyes actually had tears falling!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan was heavily injured on the verge of death, he never made a single groan either. In Liang Wanru''s heart, Ye Yuan was a man of indomitable spirit.


    But such a man would actually shed tears too. What on earth did he experience?


    Indeed, Ye Yuan''s heart was higher than the heavens! He wanted to be that tenth Dao Ancestor!


    It was just that Ye Yuan himself also knew that that was merely a great noble aspiration that he made.


    This path was far too difficult, a thousand times, even ten thousand times harder than when he broke through to Deity Realm in the Immortal Grove Region!


    Liang Wanru suddenly felt her heart aching, and all because Ye Yuan did not accept her.


    Ye Yuan''s tears seemingly flowed into her heart, making her feel the same.


    Suddenly, Liang Wanru had a great impulse to want to understand this man''s past.


    She discovered that this man, who was not that old, seemed to have many, many stories.


    \"Sir Ye, don''t chase me away, alright? Wanru doesn''t need you to make any promises. I only request to be able to follow by your side, even as a slave!\" Liang Wanru suddenly ceased her sobbing and said firmly.

 1360 Top Dog

    An archaic city wall that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life continued in an unbroken line, like an enormous dragon dancing in the air underneath the firmament, making people daunted at the sight of it.


    Wu Meng Capital City''s magnificence, only by experiencing it personally, could one really feel it.


    When Han Tian saw Xiao Feng once more, he could not help getting a huge shock.


    \"Elder Xiao, you �� you really comprehended new things?\"


    Xiao Feng coming back this time, his aura was clearly different. It actually gave him an elusive feeling.


    There seemed to be something about to erupt within his body.


    Without a doubt, Xiao Feng definitely had attained deeper comprehension.


    Even if he could not really break through that step, he would also be closer to that step.


    Xiao Feng smiled and said, \"Huhu, it looks like this old man''s response wasn''t wrong! During this trip, I really gleaned considerable benefits!\"


    Although Xiao Feng''s answer was not so certain, it was sufficient to make Han Tian shocked.


    \"That boy called Ye Yuan is really so miraculous?\" Han Tian said in shock.


    Xiao Feng nodded his head and said, \"Even more miraculous than you imagine! This boy is simply born for alchemy! In terms of depths, he''s inferior to me; but in terms of foundation, I''m too far behind to catch up!\"


    Han Tian''s gaze turned intent, monstrous waves stirring in his heart.


    These words coming out of Xiao Feng''s mouth, the weight was too heavy!


    Although Xiao Feng''s character was gentle, his pride was contained in the bones. This point, Han Tian was all too clear.


    Working together for so many years, Han Tian had yet to hear him praise a person like this before.


    Moreover, it was even a junior who was just Grotto Profound Realm!


    However, to be able to make Xiao Feng have some insights, it was sufficient to indicate this Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness.


    Han Tian knew that Han Tian was already stuck in this realm for more than 10 thousand years!


    \"Hearing you say so, I''m really interested in this boy! Oh, right, such a talent mustn''t be missed!\" Han Tian said.


    Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, \"I''m afraid that I''ll have to disappoint Tower Lord. That kid �� has already decided to enter the Wu Meng Academy!\"


    Han Tian could not help choking up when he heard that and said, \"Elder Xiao, such a talent, how can you let him go?\"


    Xiao Feng said helplessly, \"This old man already did my best. Along the way, this old man has worn my lips out, but that boy is a stubborn donkey. Once he decides on something, nobody can pull him back.\"


    Han Tian said disappointedly, \"Sigh, truly a pity!\"


    Xiao Feng said, \"Tower Lord doesn''t need to be too disappointed either. This old man is also considered good friends with him despite a great difference in age now. On account of this old man''s face, he has already agreed to continue to be our Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. With this layer of relationship there, he can''t cut away from the Myriad Treasure Tower. Furthermore, Yang Rui has done pretty well these few years, maintaining a strong relationship with Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan that boy values relationships and friendships immensely. He won''t do something like kicking someone to the curb after they''ve outlived their usefulness.\"


    Only after hearing Xiao Feng said so did Han Tian feel a little better. But his eyes still could not hide the look of disappointment.


    \"Yang Rui this kid is pretty good, promote him to be a deacon then. The connection with Ye Yuan in the future will be passed to him,\" Han Tian said.


    Xiao Feng smiled and said, \"Huhu, you''re making an exception to promote him! Regardless of whether it is strength or seniority, he''s not enough to be a deacon. However �� if we can maintain Ye Yuan''s layer of relationship well, the Myriad Treasure Tower will definitely obtain even greater benefits in the future! Oh, right, Yang Rui and Ye Yuan had an agreement. If Ye Yuan fails during the Wu Meng Academy''s entrance examination, he''ll join the Myriad Treasure Tower!\"


    Han Tian''s eyes lit up, and he said, \"Since that''s the case, why not �� we do some tricks in the test, how about it?\"


    Xiao Feng hurriedly said, \"Don''t! That boy is shrewd, even me going to Jewelhill City, he could guess! You doing so, if it''s detected by him, it will have an opposite effect! Alright, this old man already can''t wait to enter seclusion. That boy offended Brightraise City''s Wang Family, I''m worried that they will trip that boy, you need to pay attention.\"


    Han Tian scolded laughingly, \"I got it! You old punk, probably can''t even wait for a moment, right? Really envious of you. I, Han Tian, still don''t know when I can take this step!\"


    ...


    With Wu Meng Academy''s examination approaching, the young faces in the city also became more.


    In Clearwind Inn, it was already overcrowded, by mostly young faces.


    These young martial artists were mostly accompanied by followers. At first glance, they were the disciples of wealthy and influential families.


    Grassroots martial artists were short on resources, cultivation arduous. Wanting to have some accomplishments before 200 years old was very, very difficult.


    Hence, those coming to participate in the examination were mostly the various major counties'' major families'' disciples.


    Genuine grassroots martial artists were very few. Those able to spend at Clearwind Inn, this kind of large restaurant, were even rarer.


    \"I heard that Wu Meng Academy''s examination this time just happens to coincide with the new year. The young martial artists taking part in the examination are as many as a million people!\"


    \"It''s useless no matter how many people! Wu Meng Academy''s examination doesn''t regulate the number. As long as one can pass through three rounds of assessments, they can be admitted. Whether or not they can pass through the examination depends entirely on their own strength.\"


    \"That might be the case, but with this number increasing, the number of geniuses will also increase. Probably this time, there will be quite a number of formidable people appearing! I wonder this time �� who can seize the spot of the top dog.\"


    \"That makes sense! To talk about the top dog, it''s probably among the Wu Meng Four Young Masters, as well as Brilliant Peace City and East Dock City, these few cities'' those few people, right?\"


    \"Most likely! These few people are too strong. Those able to be their match are also the few of them.\"


    ...


    In a corner window-seat, four people sat around the table, currently listening attentively to the others'' discussions.


    These four people were precisely Ye Yuan, Yang Rui, Liang Wanru, and Luo Jian, four people.


    First time here, Ye Yuan naturally had to understand the local customs and practices.


    Hearing ''top dog'' these two words, Ye Yuan became interested.


    \"Brother Yang, what is this top dog?\" Ye Yuan asked.


    Yang Rui said, \"The person who passes through three rounds and ranks first!\"


    Ye Yuan said curiously, \"This isn''t hard to understand. It''s just that obtaining this top dog, are there any benefits?\"


    Yang Rui said, \"That is, of course! The person who gets to become the top dog is able to obtain a generous reward. More importantly, he''ll become City Lord, His Excellency''s in-name disciple! When he ascends to the inner-court, he''ll become City Lord, His Excellency''s personal disciple, with his status incomparably exalted. The resources enjoyed is also not what the others can compare to! Therefore, the once every hundred years entrance examination, the fight for the top dog is the most intense.\"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and said, \"So that''s how it is! It''s just �� even if one obtains this top dog, they might not firmly occupy first place in the future either, right?\"


    The path of Martial Dao was full of variables. Today''s number one might not mean the future''s number one.


    Some people''s thick accumulations erupt, catching up from behind. One-shotting the top dog back then was not an impossibility.


    Yang Rui nodded and said, \"Hence, the top dog is just an in-name disciple and not a personal disciple. If he fades into the crowd in the future, then he''ll forever be an in-name disciple. But even so, the title of the top dog represents taking cultivation''s expressway, future accomplishments limitless! After all, the resources he enjoys is what others can''t compare to.\"


    Ye Yuan came to a realization. Becoming the top dog was equivalent to having special privileges. Cultivation was naturally faster than others.


    For the others to want to surpass, they must put in a hundred times, a thousand times the effort.


    Those able to truly surpass the top dog were extremely, extremely few.

 1361 Declining Isnt Nice

    \"Why, you''re interested in this top dog? Heh, pardon me for speaking bluntly, if this entrance examination is competing in pill refinement, forget about top dog, even personal disciple is nothing difficult! But for martial arts, heh heh ��\"


    Yang Rui did not carry on saying, but the meaning in those words was already very clear.


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, wanting to take the top dog position was undoubtedly a fool''s talk.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"I was just asking. Brother Yang doesn''t need to take it seriously!\"


    He indeed did not have this idea. He knew that his current realm''s strength was severely lacking. Being able to succeed in clearing the rounds was already pretty good.


    Ever since coming to Heavenspan World, all of Ye Yuan''s energy was virtually all placed on pill refinement and creating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon. Martial arts were not to say already lying wasted, but it had indeed stagnated for a long time and not advanced.


    At this time, a young girl in yellow garment and an old woman went up to Clearwind Inn''s second floor.


    \"Goodness gracious, my grand-aunt, I already said that the second level have no seats, but you just don''t believe me!\" The waiter chased the yellow-shirt girl up to the second level and urged bitterly.


    The yellow-shirt girl ignored the waiter. Sweeping a glance on the second floor, she walked towards the table Ye Yuan was at with quick steps.


    Slap!


    The yellow-shirt girl slapped a storage ring on the table and said overbearingly, \"Kid, this seat is mine! There are 500 low-grade divine essence stones inside here. You take it and pay the bill. The remainder, just take it as buying this seat. Now, tidy up for me and get lost!\"


    The yellow-shirt girl''s domineeringness drew everyone''s sidelong glance.


    \"The Qin Family''s little demoness making a move again. It''s still okay if this kid is sensible. If he isn''t sensible, he will probably suffer.\"


    \"No choice, who asked her to get reincarnated in a good place? These few years, this lass has harmed no idea how many people.\"


    \"That kid is also unlucky. He''s from the countryside at a glance. Didn''t expect that he ran into Qin Peiyu when he just entered the city.\"


    ...


    Some locals clearly knew about the yellow-shirt girl''s identity, all casting sympathetic looks at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave Qin Peiyu a glance and took a look at the storage right, suddenly saying with a smile, \"Miss, If I accept this storage ring, does it belong to me?\"


    Seeing this scene, the surrounding onlookers could not help but be disappointed.


    They were all young masters and young ladies and wished for the matter to blow up to watch a show. They did not expect that Ye Yuan was so scared.


    Qin Peiyu made no attempt to conceal the disdain in her gaze as she said coolly, \"That is, of course! Your table is at most 300 divine essence stones. The remaining 200, just take it as giving you.\"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and pushed the storage ring back, saying with a smile, \"Miss, there are 500 low-grade divine essence stones in here, you take it and immediately disappear in front of me, don''t affect my appetite.\"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone stunned.


    The plot reversed too quickly. They did not react for a moment.


    But they realized very quickly that a fine show came!


    Ye Yuan''s move made it even harder for Qin Peiyu to step down the stage than directly refusing.


    Sure enough, Qin Peiyu''s expression instantly changed, and she said angrily, \"Boy, are you refusing face when given? Do you know how this young lady is? If I want you dead, it''s just a matter of a word!\"


    This was also the area where Ye Yuan was most averse to Qin Peiyu, wanting people''s life at the drop of a hat, not attaching importance to other people''s life and death at all.


    To be able to say this kind of words, Ye Yuan reckoned that the ones who died at her hands were probably not few.


    \"This young master doesn''t know you and isn''t interested in knowing either. Take it, you can disappear already. Don''t hinder my friends and me from eating,\" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Qin Peiyu was used to running rampant. When had she suffered this kind of insult before? Raising her palm, she smacked down towards Ye Yuan.


    This palm mustered up divine essence fully. It was actually going to put Ye Yuan to death.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and became genuinely angry too.


    This Qin Peiyu was young, but her realm was not low, already late-stage Grotto Profound.


    Although Ye Yuan''s cultivation advanced all the way vigorously, he was still marginally weaker than late-stage Grotto Profound.


    In other people''s view, Ye Yuan only had the share to be crushed.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s palm extended strangely.


    The expression of the old woman behind Qin Peiyu changed, and she shouted, \"seeking death,\" and actually reached first despite moving later, pouncing towards Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a gust of Yin wind blew past. Gui Yun''s figure appeared.


    Pointing a finger out, he directly tapped the old woman flying.


    Slap!


    A crisp slapping sound echoed out. Qin Peiyu''s body was directly slapped to the ground.


    All of this happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Everyone had yet to react in time, and it was already over.


    This slap of Ye Yuan''s was really heavy. Five fingerprints were distinctly visible on Qin Peiyu''s face.


    Everyone was stunned. Firstly was because of Ye Yuan''s strength. Secondly was because of Gui Yun''s appearance.


    A late-stage Two-star evil spirit was actually hidden beside this young man!


    That was right, because setting off for Wu Meng Capital City, Gui Yun already broke through to late-stage Two-star.


    He was originally peak middle-stage Two-star. These few years, he had minor accomplishments in cultivating the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes. Breaking through was just a matter of time.


    That old woman was middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, how could she be Gui Yun''s match? She lost in one exchange.


    Although Ye Yuan had yet to break through to late-stage Grotto Profound, through these few years of cultivation as well as consuming Essence Cultivating Pills frenziedly, he was already infinitely close to late-stage Grotto Profound.


    With Ye Yuan''s divine essence''s degree of thickness, his strength was actually not inferior to ordinary late-stage Grotto Profound already.


    Qin Peiyu had also just entered late-stage Grotto Profound. Moreover, one glance and it was clear that she had not experienced actual battles before. How could she be Ye Yuan''s match?


    \"You �� You dare to hit me? You dare to hit me! I''m going to tear you limb from limb and feed your corpse to dogs! And this little slut, I''ll let people screw her, then disfigure her face and send her to a brothel, making her never to reincarnate for all of eternity!\" Qin Peiyu thoroughly rampaged and did not choose her words.


    When that old woman saw Ye Yuan''s expression get uglier and uglier, she secretly cursed and hurriedly shouted, \"Boy, stop! Peiyu is the Qin Family''s true-born daughter! If you dare to touch her, you''ll die without a burial ground!\"


    However, it was already too late ��


    Slap! Slap! Slap!


    A series of crisp slapping sounds transmitted into everyone''s ears, slapping until those surrounding onlookers shudder with fear.


    Some even touched their faces, as if those slaps were slapped on their faces.


    The Clearwind Inn''s second level was completely quiet. There was only that series of face-slapping sounds.


    When Ye Yuan stopped, Qin Peiyu''s beautiful face already swelled into a pig''s head, completely unrecognizable.


    Everyone all sucked in a cold breath. To dare slap a Qin Family''s descendant like this, this person was probably one of a kind, right?


    \"At a young age, wanting people''s lives at every turn! Originally just wanted to teach you a small lesson, but you had killing intent aroused toward my friend. That isn''t what a slap can resolve anymore!\"


    Playing out like this, how could Ye Yuan still be in the mood to eat? His appetite was all gone.


    Ye Yuan threw Qin Peiyu''s storage ring to the waiter and said coolly, \"Miss Qin is treating us, so it''s not good to decline. The excess divine essence stones, just take it as compensating the Clearwind Inn.\"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought everyone out of the Clearwind Inn and walked off without looking back.

 1362 Beaten in Vain

    Inside the Qin Family''s parlor, a middle-aged man and a young man were currently seated according to positions of host and guest.


    The middle-aged man said solemnly, \"Honorable Nephew, you''ve disappointed me greatly this time!\"


    The young man was startled and hurriedly said, \"Yes, it was this little nephew who was reckless! This nephew was anxious to take revenge for my younger brother, but didn''t expect that the Myriad Treasure Tower''s action was actually so swift, already reaching an agreement with the City Lord Manor! With this, it''s shooting myself in the foot!\"


    The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, \"Such a heaven-defying medicinal pill, unless the Myriad Treasure Tower doesn''t sell to the outside, otherwise, how can they possibly swallow it all by themselves? Forget it, now that it played out like this, grow wiser with each setback. Since you returned, then cultivate well and strive to promote to the heaven camp soon!\"


    The young man hurriedly said, \"Yes, this nephew obeys Uncle Qin''s instructions!\"


    This middle-aged man was the Qin Family''s current family head, Qin Nantian, while the youth was Wang Song!


    To talk about this Wang Song, he had quite the means too, to actually win over the Qin Family''s concubine''s daughter, Qin Peiying, in Wu Meng Academy. Now, he was considered half a Qin Family''s son-in-law.


    In addition, his strength was uncommon. He already broke through to late-stage Heaven Glimpse, and also entered the Qin Family''s sights.


    Although the Wang Family was powerful, that was also just powerful in Brightraise City.


    While the Qin Family was the entire Wu Meng Capital City''s hegemon-level family clan!


    Not only were experts as abundant as clouds in the clan, but they also occupied many high positions in Wu Meng Capital City. Moreover, the businesses spanned throughout Wu Meng Capital City.


    The Wang Family was not worth mentioning at all in front of the Qin Family.


    Drawing close to the Qin Family, Wang Song''s future was limitless.


    Back then, a year ago, he suffered a loss in front of Xiao Feng. Hence, he thought of exposing the matter of the Essence Cultivating Pill to the City Lord Manor.


    It was just that he schemed in every possible way and also failed to calculate that the City Lord Manor had long reached an agreement with the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Not only did the news he sent not make things difficult for the Myriad Treasure Tower, but it also made the City Lord Manor dismiss both him and Chen Yongnian, transferring them back to Wu Meng Academy.


    With this, he came to pay respects to Qin Nantian when he just arrived at Wu Meng Capital City.


    Wang Song, as a deputy city lord, was just a delegation of the Wu Meng Academy. In the end, he was still a student of Wu Meng Academy.


    What Wang Song did not know was that Ye Yuan had long made Yang Rui remind Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower that the Essence Cultivating Pill''s profits had to be divided with the City Lord Manor. Furthermore, they had to provide Essence Cultivating Pills to the City Lord Manor.


    When Han Tian saw this news, he already took it seriously and reached an agreement with the City Lord Manor.


    What was laughable was that Wang Song acted smart and slammed onto the spearhead himself.


    \"Alright, you go back. Ying-er has already been looking forward to your return for a long time!\" Qin Nantian said coolly.


    Wang Song got up and took his leave: \"This nephew takes his leave.\"


    Wang Song was just about to turn around and leave when a woman whose face swelled like a pig''s head rushed in.


    \"Dad, I don''t want to live anymore! Sniff, sniff �� I don''t want to live anymore! Yu-er has no face to see people in the future!\"


    \"Yu �� Yu-er?\"


    Wang Song froze for a second before coming to a realization.


    This woman, from figure to clothing, wasn''t it Qin Peiyu?


    It was just that �� why was her face beaten by people until like this?


    Qin Nantian got a daughter at an old age and doted on Qin Peiyu greatly.


    Seeing her like this, he immediately flew into a great rage and said, \"Yu-er, who is so bold, to actually hit you until like this?\"


    Wang Song''s expression changed too, and he said fiercely, \"Yu-er, who hit you until like this? I''ll go and exterminate him!\"


    Qin Peiyu''s face was already beaten out of shape, looking too wretched to look at. If not for the clothes his daughter wore and her figure, he virtually could not recognize that this was his daughter.


    His daughter''s face being beaten until like this, it was equivalent to smacking the Qin Family''s face. How could he not be furious?


    \"It was all �� It was all that punk! Sniff, sniff, Dad, brother-in-law, you all have to take revenge for Yu-er! Sniff, sniff ��\"


    Qin Peiyu wept heavily. Talking for a long time, she did not say clearly who beat her either.


    Qin Peiyu''s face fell, and he shouted, \"Where''s Granny Hua? Have her scram over here for me!\"


    Granny Hua was that old woman.


    Normally when they went out, it was all her following Qin Peiyu. Now that Qin Peiyu was beaten until like this, Granny Hua could hardly absolve herself from the blame.


    Granny Hua entered totteringly and knelt on the ground with a thud, saying, \"Family Head, spare me! It wasn''t that this elderly self didn''t do my best, but there was a late-stage Two-star evil spirit by that boy''s side, this elderly self wasn''t a match!\"


    Granny Hua''s words seemed to have stepped on Wang Song''s tail, making him startled inwardly.


    \"Two-star evil spirit? It wouldn''t be so coincidental, right? It''s just that, the one beside Ye Yuan was a middle-stage Two-star evil spirit. Could it be �� it broke through?\" Wang Song secretly thought to himself.


    When mentioning the Two-star evil spirit, he virtually thought of Ye Yuan right away.


    For the average person, barely anyone was able to bring a Two-star evil spirit around.


    \"Humph! When the master is shamed, the subject dies! Yu-er was beaten up until like this, but you''re perfectly fine. You �� deserve death!\" Qin Nantian said furiously.


    Granny Hua''s expression became extremely ugly. How was she perfectly fine? She was already clearly seriously injured, alright?


    At this time, Wang Song spoke up, \"Uncle, don''t get angry first. It''s best to listen to her explain until the end.\"


    Granny Hua recounted today''s events quiveringly. Wang Song''s expression became uglier and uglier.


    Hearing Granny Hua''s description, that person who made a move was clearly Ye Yuan!


    \"Uncle, I think �� I know who beat Yu-er!\" Wang Song said solemnly.


    Qin Nantian''s expression changed, and he said, \"Could it be that punk called Ye Yuan that you talked about?\"


    Wang Song''s expression was solemn as he nodded his head. He knew that Ye Yuan already came to Wu Meng Capital City but did not expect that enemies meet on a narrow path. The moment Ye Yuan came, he beat his sister-in-law into a pig''s head!


    But this way was good too, at the very least, Qin Nantian absolutely would not sit by idly and remain indifferent.


    \"Yu-er, Father will definitely catch that kid and let you give vent well. Granny Hua, take Yu-er away and have her rest well!\" Qin Nantian said dotingly.


    Qin Nantian coaxed with deception, coaxing Qin Peiyu away.


    The moment Qin Peiyu left, Qin Nantian''s expression still turned grim.


    \"Since this punk came to Wu Meng Capital City, he has probably already joined the Myriad Treasure Tower officially. With the Myriad Treasure Tower protecting, it''s very troublesome!\" Qin Nantian said with a headache.


    He was not some rash young lad. Angry was angry, but he also knew that the Myriad Treasure Tower could not be provoked.


    Although he was the Qin Family''s family head, he was still not qualified enough to take on Han Tian.


    Those able to have a dialogue with Han Tian were only their old man, that generation.


    Qin Nantian made a correct assessment of the situation and knew that although Ye Yuan''s realm was low, by relying on the Essence Cultivating Pill, his status in the Myriad Treasure Tower definitely was not low.


    Could it be �� beaten in vain?


    Qin Nantian naturally could not stomach this!


    Clearwind Inn that place had dragons and fishes jumbled up together. Ye Yuan beat Qin Peiyu to a pig''s head in front of so many people. Tomorrow, probably the entire Wu Meng Capital City would know.


    Not venting this anger, how could his Qin Family keep a foothold in Wu Meng Capital City in the future?


    Wang Song was seething with righteous indignation as he said, \"Uncle, let''s keep a close eye on the Myriad Treasure Tower. I don''t believe that he can keep hiding in the Myriad Treasure Tower! As long as he comes out, we''ll have a myriad of ways to mess him to death!\"


    He discovered to his dismay that Ye Yuan was just like a porcupine, unable for him to bite down at all.


    Qin Nantian''s expression was very ugly as he nodded and said, \"Right now, it can only be like this too!\"

 1363 Xie Jingyi

    The Qin Family and Wang Song kept staring at the Myriad Treasure Tower, trying to wait for Ye Yuan to come out.


    But they guarded for half a year and did not wait for Ye Yuan to come out.


    After returning from Clearwind Inn, Ye Yuan directly entered closed-seclusion.


    Before the entrance examination, Ye Yuan still had to increase his strength quickly.


    The more he understood things, the more Ye Yuan felt that this entrance exam was not simple. He felt tremendous pressure too.


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan was currently comprehending the Vast Heaven Sword Art.


    This was the cultivation method that Absolute Heaven comprehended in the World Suppressing Stele. To the Ye Yuan in the past, it was unfathomable.


    But now, Ye Yuan created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, his horizons became goodness knows how many times further. This cultivation method was already no longer suitable for him.


    The reason why Ye Yuan studied the Vast Heaven Sword Art was that he wanted to take the merits and create a Sword Dao that belonged to him!


    Although the dragon race''s martial techniques were powerful, Ye Yuan had a feeling that his Atavism Dragon Soul had certain limitations too. In terms of sustainability, it might not go further than Martial Dao.


    Hence, he still decided to walk on two legs and comprehend laws!


    Presently, Ye Yuan''s realm already caught up to laws boundary. His grasp on Sword Dao laws had already stagnated for very long.


    A martial technique that was originally extremely powerful in the Immortal Grove World was also just commonplace now.


    After all, the disparity between a declined empyrean world and the Heavenspan World was too great.


    The Immortal Grove World''s limitations determined the inherent deficiencies of cultivation methods and martial techniques.


    All of this forced Ye Yuan himself to improve further.


    \"Senior, looking at this Vast Heaven Sword Art now, it''s full of flaws!\" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    \"That is, of course! Although this cultivation method originated from the World Suppressing Stele, the things comprehended is just a single hair from nine oxen. If cultivating according to this method, one''s accomplishments would be limited,\" Dustless said.


    \"My current comprehensions toward Sword Dao laws are too shallow. Even facing the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, I''m unable to create a Sword Dao martial technique that belongs to me too,\" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao laws reigned supreme in the Immortal Grove World, astounding countless powerhouses.


    But now, Ye Yuan was like a toddler staggering along.


    Dustless said, \"Hence, you entering Wu Meng Academy is the right choice! That place gathers geniuses. There are many cultivation methods and martial techniques left behind by many seniors of older generations for your reference.\"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, \"I think so too. I hope that Wu Meng Academy''s martial techniques don''t disappoint me.\"


    Half a year''s time, Ye Yuan already completely grasped the Vast Heaven Sword Art''s first layer.


    His Martial Dao boundary had already reached peak middle-stage Grotto Profound as well. He was just missing an opportunity for him to break through the bottleneck.


    Deity Realm was a brand new Martial Dao system. Ye Yuan had never experienced it before and was also unable to be like in the past, completely without bottlenecks.


    It was just that his Chaos Heavenspan Canon was a rarely seen cultivation method in the whole world. His bottlenecks were a lot easier to break through than others.


    Presently, he already faintly touched the threshold of late-stage Grotto Profound and might break through at any time.


    On this day, the entrance examination finally began!


    \"Brother Yang, thank you so much for your care along the way. I''ll thank you here first!\" Ye Yuan said to Yang Rui with clasped hands.


    Yang Rui chuckled and said, \"You punk, also not separated by life and death, being so sentimental for what? Want to thank, I have to thank you too, no? Without you, I couldn''t be a deacon either!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"That''s why you deserve it! Farewell, Brother Yang! Wanru will be entrusted to Brother Yang.\"


    The entrance examination would last for a very long time. It was not convenient for Ye Yuan to bring Wanru and could only leave her in the Myriad Treasure Tower first.


    Yang Rui smiled and said, \"You just rest assured, I wish that you don''t succeed!\"


    Ye Yuan froze, immediately breaking out into laughter.


    This guy was still thinking constantly about having him join the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Ye Yuan shattered the jade tablet in his hand, his figure instantly vanishing.


    This jade tablet was the token received from Wu Meng Academy after successfully registering.


    As long as one shattered the jade tablet, the applicant would automatically be transported into the assessment place.


    Wu Meng Academy''s entrance examination often involved tens of millions of people. It was naturally impossible to carry out inside the academy.


    Hence, Wu Meng Academy specially opened up a space, to be used to conduct the entrance examination.


    As for the matter of registration, the Myriad Treasure Tower had long readied it for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just felt his eyes blur, and he arrived at a foreign space.


    \"This is your number, take the number and find your own lotus seat! Not allowed to start a fight, not allowed to cause trouble. Otherwise, kill without mercy!\"


    A young man handed him a wooden board, the warning overtone in his words very thick.


    Looking at this appearance, he might be Wu Meng Academy''s student.


    One could tell from this young man''s eyes, and he was very disdainful toward Ye Yuan.


    \"Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother!\" Ye Yuan received the wooden board and thanked him.


    The young man snickered and said, \"When you pass the entrance exam, calling me Senior Apprentice Brother again isn''t late! Go on, go on!\"


    In his eyes, it was impossible for Ye Yuan, this middle-stage Grotto Profound rookie, to pass through the entrance examination.


    Therefore, he need not be polite.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and went to find his lotus seat according to the number on the wooden tablet.


    Before his eyes was an enormous plaza, stretching to infinity.


    At the plaza, it was densely packed with people, no less than a million, spectacular in sight.


    On the wooden tablet wrote 735 horizontally, 521 vertically.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, finding his seat very quickly according to the coordinates written on the wooden tablet.


    This was a one-square foot lotus seat, formed with array formation illusions, strikingly vivid and lifelike.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, directly sitting on it and started meditating.


    \"Brother, you were also forced by your family to come and be an extra, right?\" Suddenly, a little fatty on an adjacent seat started to talk to Ye Yuan.


    The hour had not arrived yet. There were still applicants rushing over one after another. Quite a number of people were all whispering into each other''s ears.


    When Ye Yuan heard the voice, he could not help turning his head to look.


    That little fatty was clearly an easy-going person, and he said with a smile, \"I''m Brilliant Peace City''s Xie Jingyi[1], uh �� Don''t use this kind of eyes to look at me, I also don''t know why my dad''s head was clamped, giving me such a perverse name. Hey, what''s your name?\"


    Ye Yuan was tickled by this little fatty and said with a smile, \"I''m Ye Yuan.\"


    \"Hear hear, hear hear! What a nice name, unlike me! Sigh! Oh, right, you were also forced by your family to come and be an extra, right?\" Xie Jingyi repeated the question.


    \"Be an extra?\" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    \"Yeah! Your bit of strength, I reckon that you''ll fall on the second day. Not being an extra, it''s for what?\" Xie Jingyi said.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not give any explanation.


    Xie Jingyi talked to himself, \"Sigh, although I''m that tiny bit slightly stronger than you, I reckon that lasting five to six days is already about there. I said that I wasn''t coming, my damn old man said that he was going to find me Brilliant Peace City''s ugliest wife! My God, isn''t this killing me?\"


    Ye Yuan discovered that this little fatty was a total joker, purely in charge of running jokes.


    \"Five or six days? You''re late-stage Grotto Profound at any rate too. It''s not to the extent of just lasting so few days in Heaven''s Might, this round, right?\" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    [1] It''s a girl''s name

 1364 Heavens Migh

    \"Heh, looks like you just know a little something, but that is not enough for it to count!\" Xie Jingyi deliberately beat around the bush.


    \"Pray tell!\" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan knew that the test''s three hurdles were Heaven''s Might, Earth Carnage, Illumination, and he also knew that each checkpoint wiped out a lot of people. But as for the specifics, he did not know.


    Regardless of whether it was the Xiao Feng or Yang Rui, they all intentionally or unintentionally avoided this topic.


    Ye Yuan knew their motives, so he did not force it either.


    \"Each entrance examination affects tens of millions of people, how to evaluate? This first hurdle, Heaven''s Might, is used to scrub away people! This round will eliminate the vast majority of people. Those able to make it through are all geniuses among geniuses!\"


    Actually, those with the qualifications to come and take part in this entrance exam could originally be called geniuses already.


    But Heaven''s Might this round, the objective was to wipe out the vast majority of geniuses!


    Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, and he asked, \"Roughly eliminate how much?\"


    The little fatty smiled bitterly and said, \"Over 90%! Basically, after this round is done, only the outstanding ones among grand completion Grotto Profound and late-stage Grotto Profound will be left. The rest basically have no hope of passing!\"


    But Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked when he heard. He also did not expect that this first hurdle would be so brutal.


    No wonder this little fatty said that he and Ye Yuan were all here as extras.


    \"Like this huh, then �� actually, you already gave up?\"


    Being surprised was just being surprised, but Ye Yuan did not have much visible change in countenance.


    This first hurdle, he still had some confidence in passing!


    This hurdle''s name was Heaven''s Might. Actually, it was scouring the will. It was similar to cultivation realm coercion but also somewhat different.


    But this kind of test was simply child''s play in front of him.


    This Wu Meng Capital City, no matter how formidable the willpower scouring, it was also impossible to surpass the Divine Lord Realm.


    The Ye Yuan who refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, forget about a measly little Divine Lord Realm, even a True God''s will could forget about making him waver in the slightest too.


    This was where his confidence lay!


    Except, Ye Yuan did not plan on using the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s will. He would use his own will to resist.


    If he seriously could not keep up anymore, he would cheat.


    But he knew that if he gave up this round, then there was really no hope anymore.


    Ye Yuan felt that this friendly little fatty was rather interesting; that was why he asked this.


    \"I naturally don''t wish to give up. But my strength is just that tiny bit stronger than yours, there''s no hope,\" the little fatty said rather dispiritedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Heaven''s Might this round is related to the realm, but also not absolute. If people on the martial path don''t have the determination to die, it''s hard to accomplish anything great! I think this is the original intention of Wu Meng Academy setting up this round, right? The vast majority of people fear death and don''t dare to compete with heaven, that''s why they are eliminated. But in reality, this round being named Heaven''s Might, it isn''t Heaven''s Might.\"


    Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, the cynical look on his face gradually fading away. He did not expect Ye Yuan to actually say these words from his mouth.


    This youth whose realm was even lower than his actually had such insight!


    \"What you said is right, I can''t give up! I want to let my Xiu-er know that her man is a man of indomitable spirit!\" Xie Jingyi said with a rare solemness.


    It was just that this excuse made Ye Yuan at a loss whether to cry or laugh.


    At this time, an old man walked up the platform in front of the plaza and said in a clear voice, \"Quiet!\"


    The voice was akin to rolling thunder, making the millions of people in the plaza hear clearly.


    \"The first round, Heaven''s Might, is starting right away. This round tests your Martial Dao will! If anybody can''t hold on under Heaven''s Might, you just have to shatter the wooden tablet in your hands, and will be transported out. Of course, that way, your test will also be a failure. You''ll directly be eliminated! Heaven''s Might will last 30 days without ceasing. Furthermore, it will become more and more powerful! I''ll get the unpleasantness out of the way first, if somebody discovers that something is wrong, better hurry up and crush the wooden tablet. Otherwise �� there will be deaths!\"


    The old man''s words were akin to a sledgehammer, crushing everyone until they could not breathe.


    Especially the last few words, it made people even more fearful in their hearts.


    This willpower scouring would become more and more horrifying towards the last few days. Once someone could not bear the heavy pressure, they would be overwhelmed and get killed by the powerful will.


    Hence, the old man''s words were not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    As powerful as Divine Lord Realm, exterminating low-level martial artists with Martial Dao willpower was as easy as flipping one''s hand.


    \"Now, Heaven''s Might begin!\"


    The moment the old man''s voice fell, a tidewater-like willpower crushed toward all of the martial artists on the plaza.


    That kind of feeling was like facing the scouring of a waterfall.


    However, this initial waterfall was not very powerful. Apart from those whose realms were too low finding it somewhat strenuous to handle, the others were all very relaxed.


    It was just that this scouring was continuous and not just a while.


    Just like a person who was carrying a bag of things; at the start, it might not feel heavy. But along with the increase in time, you would feel heavier and heavier.


    A mere hour passed, and someone could not hold on anymore.


    The only threshold for the entrance examination was 200 years old skeletal age. Hence, the very large portion in the plaza were all initial-stage Grotto Profound martial artists.


    Some people were just a few decades old. They just came to try their luck or experience it a bit.


    These people still had a second chance to join the entrance examination.


    A hundred years later, their strength would naturally improve further.


    \"Puhwark!\"


    \"Puhwark!\"


    \"Puhwark!\"


    ...


    On the plaza, there were people spewing blood non-stop, and then directly transported out of this space.


    Ye Yuan sat on the lotus seat, holding steadfast.


    This degree of willpower scouring was not worth mentioning to him.


    Even if he did not borrow the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan was very confident in himself too.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan had experienced far too much. Life and death trials were already no idea how many times.


    Disregarding the path of defying the heavens in the Immortal Grove World, just the encounter inside the spatial storm was not what ordinary people could imagine.


    His Martial Dao willpower was long firm as a rock already.


    This so-called Heaven''s Might was just targeting Grotto Profound Realm martial artists. It was not possible to really be so powerful.


    It was just that to Grotto Profound Realm martial artists, it was rather powerful.


    Ye Yuan examined himself, on this aspect, he was not inferior to those so-called geniuses!


    A day''s time passed in a blink. The moment the second day''s hour arrived, a surge of even stronger willpower than yesterday suddenly descended.


    Under the impact of this surge of willpower, a large swathe immediately fell down. One figure after another disappeared on the plaza in succession.


    However, this was just child''s play.


    The truly large-scale elimination appeared on the fifth day and the sixth day!


    On just the fifth day alone, 200 thousand people were transported out!


    The remaining people, their faces were all no longer as relaxed as before.


    When it reached the sixth day, fine sweat beads already seeped out on little fatty Xie Jingyi''s head.


    Just as he expected, he could at most just last five or six days.


    \"Think about your Xiu-er, think about why you want to become strong! Since you have a reason to become strong, why give up halfway?\"


    Right at this moment, a voice reached Xie Jingyi''s ear.


    He discerned it; it was Ye Yuan''s voice.


    This voice of Ye Yuan''s was akin to a clap of thunder, enlightening the benighted, letting Xie Jingyi''s mind tense up all at once.


    Xiu-er''s beautiful figure kept emerging in his mind.

 1365 Little Fattys Roar

    Once a person''s will reached its limit, it became very hard to gather one''s concentration.


    Previously, Xie Jingyi''s willpower was already somewhat muddled under the scouring of Heaven''s Might. How could he still remember what Ah Xiu?


    Ye Yuan''s words were like the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery, startling Xie Jingyi awake.


    Willpower scouring was like running. Once passed the most unbearable limit period, you would discover that you became very capable of running.


    However, under such heavy pressure, Xie Jingyi did not dare to act rashly.


    He focused his mind, continuously holding fast to his faith in his mind, and actually persisted just like that.


    It was just that he was secretly incredibly shocked in his heart, Ye Yuan was actually able to last until now!


    He even thought that Ye Yuan had been eliminated long ago.


    After all, words sounded nice but did not represent that one really had that strength.


    But not just last until now, he actually had strength leftover to talk and remind him.


    This indicated that this degree of willpower scouring was nothing to Ye Yuan!


    Was this guy really middle-stage Grotto Profound?


    Although Martial Dao willpower did not have an inexorable relation with cultivation realm, generally speaking, it was all about the higher one''s cultivation realm, the more powerful the Martial Dao willpower.


    The entrance examinations in the past, it was not that there were no middle-stage Grotto Profound who passed the first round, but they were like feathers of a phoenix and the horn of a Qilin.


    More often than not, being able to produce one in a thousand years was already pretty good.


    Xie Jingyi did not dare to think too much. The willpower scouring became stronger and stronger. He did not have extra time to think about these.


    On the platform, the two old men presiding over the test were currently conversing about something.


    \"No idea what City Lord, His Excellency, is thinking either. Every session, getting these initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound guys to make up the numbers is utterly meaningless!\"


    \"Not exactly so, once low-level martial artists are able to withstand this Martial Dao willpower, their future accomplishment absolutely won''t be beneath you and I. They might even be able to reach City Lord that kind of heights!\"


    \"Be that as it may, for the sake of these supporting casts, we have to expend vast amounts of manpower and resources each time. Is it really worth it?\"


    \"Heh, City Lord, His Excellency, feels that it''s worth it, then it''s worth it. Thinking so much for what?\"


    They had long gotten accustomed to seeing geniuses. This initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists, they completely turned their noses up at them.


    Although initial-stage and middle-stage Grotto Profound people making it through, their potential was huge, that was also merely just potential.


    Those able to truly realize their potential were in the minority.


    Time passed day by day, the people on the plaza got fewer and fewer.


    However, the elimination speed also became slower and slower.


    Those able to pull through the first few days were all people with tough wills. Wanting to make them give up was very difficult!


    \"ARGH!!\"


    Suddenly, someone else could not bear on the plaza and cried out tragically.


    It was just that this one was somewhat different from those who vomited blood previously. That scream sounded very appalling, then that person''s mouth vomited fresh blood unceasingly.


    Finally, the breathing ceased.


    This sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise from start to end.


    Those martial artists who were already at the critical point could no longer resist at this time as well, crushing the wooden tablets one after another.


    Another large batch of people was eliminated!


    Heaven''s Might this round did not isolate the five senses. Everything that happened in the outside world could be seen and heard.


    They finally discovered that that old man was not joking, people would really die!


    Currently, it was already the 23rd day. Little Fatty''s spirit was already almost collapsing.


    Hearing this unforeseen accident, his wooden tablet was unknowingly already held in his hand, finally unable to hold on anymore.


    \"Can''t anymore, I really can''t hang on anymore! At this rate, I''ll be like him! Being able to persist until now, I''ve already tried my best!\"


    This sentence kept on echoing in Little Fatty''s mind.


    \"Going to give up here? Are you finding reasons for yourself, feeling that it''s already very impressive to be able to persist until now? Just seven days remaining, if you''re a man, pull through! Or, are you as your name implies, and should go be a woman?\"


    Just as Xie Jingyi was about to shatter the wooden tablet, Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out once more.


    Little Fatty was startled again and shouted, \"Your uncle! You''re the woman! I, Xie Jingyi, am an upstanding and dauntless man! Isn''t it just seven days? Your father will definitely persist for you to see! Ah Xiu, you watch, your man is the most impressive!\"


    Little Fatty''s roar appeared particularly grating on the ear in the plaza.


    Everyone was all giving their full attention to resist the willpower scouring. Being hit by his hilarious shout, some of those martial artists around who had already reached the critical point immediately could not hold back anymore, shattering the wooden tablet one by one, and disappearing.


    Even Ye Yuan almost could not hold on anymore too.


    Fortunately, he still had strength leftover currently and was not to the extent of collapsing.


    But Xie Jingyi''s shout startled the two old men on the platform.


    \"Eh, that little fatty who shouted just now seems to have just entered late-stage Grotto Profound not long. I didn''t expect that he''s actually able to hold on until now.\"


    \"Hiss �� it''s not right!\"


    \"Mm? What''s wrong? He''s indeed a late-stage Grotto Profound!\"


    \"I''m not talking about him! You look at that kid beside him!\"


    \"Mm? Middle-stage Grotto Profound? My �� My eyesight isn''t failing, right? A middle-stage Grotto Profound actually persisted until now?\"


    \"Not just that! You see, his expression is very calm. It is as if this willpower scouring doesn''t have much effect on him!\"


    \"This �� This is really seeing ghosts! In the past, even if there are middle-stage Grotto Profounds persisting until now, it''s also impossible to be so calm like him!\"


    \"Also, have you noticed it? There are already not many people near the two of them. Just now, that little fatty seemed to be talking with someone! Could it be that kid beside him who deliberately triggered his fighting spirit?\"


    Having said that, the two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the look of shock from the other party''s eyes.


    A middle-stage Grotto Profound actually still had the strength to spare to go trigger other people''s fighting spirit when at 23 days!


    This willpower was simply terrifying!


    Originally, there were still several tens of thousands of people on the plaza. The two old men would not notice Ye Yuan and Xie Jingyi.


    But now, because of Little Fatty''s shout, it successfully drew everyone''s attention.


    Not just them, the Wu Meng Academy''s people who organized the assessment this time all noticed Little Fatty.


    Suddenly, the gaze of that student who issued the token to Ye Yuan turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan with immense shock.


    \"What''s wrong, Jiang Chen? Startled by that living treasure? But this bit of strength being able to persist until now, it''s indeed not easy.\"


    There was still another student beside him. Seeing Jiang Chen''s appearance, the student could not help poking fun at him


    These two people were both inner-court students. One was called Jiang Chen, and the other was called Song Fang; both were earth camp experts.


    Jiang Chen shot him a glance and said, \"Late-stage Grotto Profound being able to persist until now isn''t anything strange. But a middle-stage Grotto Profound persisting until now gives people a shock! You look at that kid beside him. It was me who issued him the wooden tablet. Back then, he still called me his senior apprentice brother and was despised by me! I didn''t expect that he actually persisted until now!\"


    Song Fang originally still had not noticed. Hearing him say so, he could not help getting shocked too.


    \"Heh heh, I didn''t expect that you also have times where you make an error of judgment! Looking at his appearance, he still has the strength to spare. Heaven''s Might this round probably can''t stump him. It''s just that I don''t know how many points he can win,\" Song Fang said with a laugh.

 1366 Finally Ended!

    \"30 days is up! Those giving up the challenge, step out of the ranks. Those continuing to challenge, stay in place! Starting from now, each day you persist, you''ll obtain five academy points, no ceiling cap!\"


    The old man''s words were like a pardon, letting the people who persisted heaved a long sigh in relief.


    Little Fatty directly jumped up, waving his hands and stamping his feet excitedly, laughing wildly.


    \"Hahaha �� Didn''t expect that I, Xie Jingyi, actually made it through! I actually made it through!\"


    The old man''s brows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, \"Those who pass the round are not to make a lot of noise! Otherwise, they will be expelled from the test!\"


    Xie Jingyi was immediately like a deflated ball, stepping out of the designated area very carefully.


    Just 30 days down, more than a million martial artists were actually only left with several thousand people!


    This elimination rate could be rated as horrifying.


    In the wake of the old man''s announcement, the vast majority of the people all ceased challenging.


    To the vast majority of the people, their willpower had long reached the limit already and could collapse at any time.


    Continuing to challenge, the risk was too great.


    With this departure, the enormous plaza immediately became extremely empty.


    A massive plaza was only left with a mere four to five hundred people.


    \"That middle-stage Grotto Profound kid indeed pulled through! It''s just, no idea how long he can last!\"


    \"After 30 days, the willpower scouring''s power will increase several times over! Middle-stage Grotto Profound, Wu Meng Academy''s best record was also just 50 points! I reckon that it''s just about there for this boy to last three days.\"


    \"Mm, it''s pretty much this standard! Just don''t know how Heaven''s Might''s number one will be.\"


    \"Heh, that''s hard to say! Qin Family''s Qin Shao, Su Family''s Su Yuecang, Xiang Family''s Xiangzhuang, Wu Family''s Wu Yang, as well as several major counties'' disciples, all have hope! Their strength should be almost on pair, it will depend on whose willpower is stronger!\"


    The two old men discussed the following competition. Starting from now, it was the real struggle!


    The points obtained starting from now could be accumulated and brought into the academy.


    More importantly, the number of points determined who the top dog belonged to in the end!


    Boom!


    A majestic willpower descended from the sky!


    Seeing this scene, the faces of the people who backed out from the plaza all changed drastically.


    They secretly rejoiced at quitting. Otherwise, this kind of pressure, how could they withstand it?


    The current pressure was directly twice as strong as just now!


    Even Ye Yuan also felt the pressure all over his body suddenly increase, and was no longer calm like before.


    On the second day, this surge of willpower directly doubled again on top of the original foundation!


    One genius after another fell in succession. Each and every one of them was extremely remorseful and angry.


    But these people were not transported out. They continued to watch the fight in the waiting area.


    On the third day, the willpower doubled again!


    This degree of superimposition made everyone''s pressure on the plaza soar.


    Fine sweat beads seeped out on Ye Yuan''s forehead. He finally started feeling overwhelmed.


    Seeing this scene, Xie Jingyi''s knuckles cracked, and he thought to himself, Come on, Ye Yuan! When you pass the test, this bro will definitely invite you for a drink!


    He knew that for him to be able to pass this first round, it was entirely due to Ye Yuan''s encouragement and help.


    Without Ye Yuan, he could at most only last five or six days.


    Now, he actually passed through miraculously!


    Even if he was eliminated at the back, it was also sufficient to make those old things shut up when he returned to the family.


    The willpower doubled every day compared to the previous day. Accumulating like this, it would become more and more terrifying.


    It was just that, what made those two old men get a shock was that Ye Yuan actually surpassed his expectations and lasted till the fifth day!


    The current Ye Yuan was already drenched in sweat all over. He was clearly almost reaching his limits already.


    \"This kid is actually able to hang on until now. Although his realm isn''t high, his willpower is really very strong!\"


    \"Yeah! Middle-stage Grotto Profounds able to last until the fifth day have already not appeared in many years. But it looks like he already reached his limits. He probably can''t make it through tomorrow!\"


    The other party deeply felt that way too. With Ye Yuan''s current state, tomorrow''s willpower doubling again, there was no way he could hold on.


    Boom!


    The moment the sixth day arrived, a powerful willpower akin to Mount Tai was crushing down, pressing Ye Yuan until his chest felt stifled, nearly spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    If let''s say the first day''s willpower was just a hundred feet waterfall formed by a small stream, then the current willpower was a 100 thousand feet waterfall!


    That scouring energy was sufficient to destroy everything!


    Jiang Chen had been paying attention to Ye Yuan all along. Seeing this, he said to Song Fang, \"I really didn''t expect that he could actually persist till the 36th day!\"


    Song Fang smiled and said, \"If I didn''t remember wrongly, you also just persisted 40 days back then! But you were already grand completion Grotto Profound at that time!\"


    Jiang Chen nodded and said, \"Yeah! Hence, this kid''s potential is probably much greater than mine!\"


    Song Fang said, \"Not necessarily true either. Martial Dao willpower is just one aspect! Not passing the other two rounds, it''s still useless.\"


    Time slowly trickled by. In a twinkle, the 36th day was going to pass. But Ye Yuan did not fall on the 36th day like everyone imagined.


    He pulled through!


    Then, 37th day, 38th day, 39th day, 40th day!


    Each day that passed, the astonishment in everyone''s heart grew stronger!


    Ye Yuan was just like an unkillable cockroach. Whenever people thought that he was going to collapse, he would straighten his back again and make it through.


    Now, there were only 20 over people left in the entire plaza.


    These 20 over people, apart from Ye Yuan, were all grand completion Grotto Profound. There was not a single late-stage Grotto Profound!


    \"This boy �� How in the world did he do it? Could it be that he isn''t afraid of being directly killed by Heaven''s Might?\" said one of the old men with incredible shock.


    \"He has already tied with middle-stage Grotto Profound''s highest record. If this continues ��\" He could not quite dare to imagine.


    At this time, there was already no one paying attention to the others. Everyone''s gazes were all focused on Ye Yuan.


    They all wanted to see just when this unkillable cockroach would fall!


    41st day!


    Ye Yuan broke through middle-stage Grotto Profound''s highest record without any surprises!


    Then, 42nd day, 43rd day �� 48th day!


    \"Puhwark!\"


    The 48th day''s willpower suddenly descended. Ye Yuan finally could not bear it and spewed out a large mouthful of blood.


    Then, Ye Yuan slowly stood up from the lotus seat, his entire person appearing dispirited and inert.


    Including the two old men, everyone all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    \"Finally ended!\"


    No idea why, everyone actually had a feeling akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    \"Heh, bro, you''re really too fierce! If you held on for two more days, my jaws would drop off!\"


    When Ye Yuan came to the waiting area, Xie Jingyi immediately rushed up to give Ye Yuan a punch, then hugged Ye Yuan and started praising madly.


    At this time, there were still three people left on the plaza!


    This first round, Ye Yuan concluded with the result of fourth place, obtaining 90 points!

 1367 Earth Carnage!

    Sensing the gazes cast by several thousand people, Ye Yuan accepted it calmly.


    Competing in Martial Dao willpower was his forte. Obtaining this result did not exceed his expectations.


    In reality, if he was willing, he could keep on sitting on the lotus seat.


    Of course, even if he did not utilize the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it was also adequate to set the world on fire already.


    He forcefully increased the middle-stage Grotto Profound''s record by eight days!


    One had to know that although it was just a short eight days, the willpower''s intensity multiplied eight-fold.


    Furthermore, it was even built on the foundation of the 40th day!


    Although the two old men on the platform were surprised, they did not express too much either.


    After all, only by making it through three rounds could one be considered an official Wu Meng Academy''s disciple.


    No matter how good the first round''s results were, not passing at the end, it was pointless too.


    \"I didn''t expect that Jia Chong this guy was actually so formidable, taking down two of the Wu Meng Four Young Masters!\" Xie Jingyi looked at the plaza, his face had a rarely-seen ugliness.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, \"That one dressed in blue-colored robes?\"


    Xie Jingyi nodded and said, \"He''s our Brilliant Peace City''s number genius, and also my love rival! I knew that he was very powerful, but I didn''t expect that he was actually so powerful!\"


    Talking up till here, Little Fatty could not help becoming somewhat dejected. The joy of successfully clearing the round was already replaced by decadence.


    Seeing Xie Jingyi like this, Ye Yuan also could not help becoming curious just what kind of person was the Ah Xiu he talked about, to actually be able to move Brilliant Peace City''s number one genius.


    But comparing Xie Jingyi to Jia Chong, the disparity was indeed not small.


    This first round, he, Ye Yuan, was just a special case.


    Under normal circumstances, the longer one persisted, the greater the potential, the more powerful the strength!


    Ye Yuan patted Xie Jingyi''s shoulder and said with a smile, \"Buck up then. Your potential might not be less than his! From the sixth day to the 30th day, did you dare to imagine it previously? Therefore, there''s no impossibility. Just depends on whether you dare to do it or not! But, if you''re eliminated, you can only fade into the crowd, the disparity with Jia Chong getting bigger and bigger! In that case, your Ah Xiu will probably get further and further away from you.\"


    Xie Jingyi''s entire body trembled, seemingly suffering some tremendous stimulation. Grimacing, he said, \"Good brother, let''s buck up together for the two rounds at the back, and strive to both enter the Wu Meng Academy! We''re going to let those who look down on us trash see that rookies can counterattack too!\"


    Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that. This guy''s joker problem indeed could not be fixed.


    Finally, the first round, Qin Shao ranked first with the result of 53 days, obtaining 115 points. Su Yuecang took second place with 51 days, obtaining 105 points. Jia Chong ranked third, obtaining 100 points with the result of 50 days.


    ...


    On the platform, an old man opened his mouth nonchalantly and said, \"You all being able to pass the first round, it''s sufficient to prove your excellence and also enough to prove the resolution of your Martial Dao heart! However, Wu Meng Academy only recruits the most outstanding students! The first round is merely a warm-up. What''s harder is the second round and third round!\"


    The old man swept a glance over everyone and slowly said, \"Right away, begin the second round, Earth Carnage!\"


    The moment the old man''s voice faded, this enormous plaza''s scene suddenly changed.


    Originally, the million lotus seats disappeared, leaving only several thousand lotus seats.


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help clicking their tongues in wonder.


    \"Now, you all choose a lotus seat to seat at will! The second round, Earth Carnage, is all the same for each of you! The array formation activating, you all will enter a consciousness space! At that time, all of your strength will automatically be compensated to become grand completion Grotto Profound. You guys will be facing the assault of 50 waves of divine beasts! These divine beasts will be stronger wave after wave. Being able to make it through 20 waves is considered passing the test. Before 20 waves, if you die inside the consciousness space, you all will be transported right out, failing the test! Every additional round you survive, your points will increase by 10!\" said the old man in a clear voice.


    Hearing these words, everyone did not reveal much surprise.


    Clearly, everyone was clear about the contents of the test.


    Rather, for Ye Yuan, it was still his first time hearing the specific contents of this second round. For a moment, he felt that it was rather novel.


    Automatically compensating for cultivation realm, this appeared very fair.


    But very clearly, this level was not easy to pass.


    What this level tested was a martial artist''s true combat power, without a trace of deception.


    \"Come on, I don''t wish to see you being transported out when I come out!\" Ye Yuan said to Xie Jingyi with a smile.


    \"Pooh! You''re the one who will be transported out! I''m the man who''s going to marry Ah Xiu, how can I possibly lose?\" Xie Jingyi retorted.


    As soon as he was seated, Ye Yuan felt like his consciousness was being taken away from something.


    When he appeared again, it was already inside an empty space.


    This was a consciousness space. There was nothing at all.


    Ye Yuan discovered that his realm really became grand completion Grotto Profound!


    \"Mm? This �� \"


    Ye Yuan revolved his divine essence a bit and discovered to his dismay that his divine essence consumption speed was different from his actual situation!


    \"Looks like there''s no way to cheat,\" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Considering Ye Yuan''s true realm, his divine essence was incomparably condensed.


    Unleashing large-scale martial techniques, the divine essence consumption would also not be very great.


    Under the impact of this wave after wave, the thickness of divine essence was very useful.


    But unfortunately, he was just a wisp of consciousness right now. This body was configured by the grand array and not himself. He was unable to alter it too.


    \"Fortunately, the Voice of the Dragon God can still be used. But it can only be used at a crucial time.\"


    The Voice of the Dragon God was released with the power of the fleshy body, although this body was not as good as Ye Yuan''s fleshy body, it could still unleash the Voice of the Dragon God.


    Except, he sensed it a bit that the Voice of the Dragon God could only unleash for around 10 breaths of time.


    This was his final trump card and could not be used easily.


    \"Now, please choose your weapon!\" At this time, an ethereal voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan said, \"I choose the sword!\"


    A light flashed. Ye Yuan''s hands had a sword appear out of the blue. It was actually a spirit divine artifact!


    \"Looks like this test is very fair! Everyone''s starting point is identical! It will depend on the individual''s Martial Dao comprehensions and willpower!\" Ye Yuan said to himself.


    At this time, that ethereal voice sounded out once more, \"The hour has arrived; Earth Carnage test begins!\"


    Following this voice landing, Ye Yuan discovered to his amazement that there were countless wild beasts ahead, rushing over towards him with an irresistible momentum.


    These wild beasts virtually filled the entire space. There wasn''t even a place to escape at all!


    These wild beasts were just the lowest-level initial-stage rank 1 divine beasts. It was just that the numbers were too terrifying.


    \"Heh, the first level was willpower assault. This second level is wild beast assault. Interesting!\"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern, wielding the sword and pressed forward, directly charging into the beast horde!


    The violent beast horde practically engulfed Ye Yuan right away.


    Ye Yuan''s sword dance was airtight, shuttling back and forth inside the beast horde, continuously reaping the lives of wild beasts.

 1368 No Longer Sensational

    \"Ouch! You beast dare to headbutt me, I''ll headbutt you!\"


    While talking, Little Fatty''s figure dashed and really headbutted over.


    That divine beast was directly knocked flying by Little Fatty, immediately knocking down a large swarm.


    When Xie Jingyi saw this, he could not help laughing delightedly and said, \"Haha, who asked you to provoke your Grandpa Xie! Now, you know my prowess! Goodness, here again!\"


    Honestly, if Ye Yuan was here, he would probably get a huge shock too.


    Although this Little Fatty did not have many powerful martial techniques, his movement technique was first-rate.


    Shutting back and forth inside the beast horde, those divine beasts actually could not catch him.


    Just now, he got accidentally bumped by a divine beast, he immediately retaliated.


    This was already the ninth wave. The level of the divine beasts had long been raised to middle-stage One-star already.


    One shouldn''t look at how the ranks of the divine beasts were not high. The numbers were very alarming, totally unable to kill completely.


    Especially after a few waves, after the realms of the divine beasts increased to middle-stage One-star, the martial artists'' pressure would suddenly soar.


    However, Little Fatty relied on the advantage of movement technique and still had plenty more room to maneuver until now.


    \"Heh heh, Ye Yuan that punk definitely can''t imagine that I, Xie Jingyi, would be so relaxed this round, right?\" Little Fatty said as he laughed smugly.


    ...


    \"This position of top dog, I''m claiming it! This round, I must break the records and shake them off far behind!\" Qin Shao said and gritted his teeth.


    Qin Shao was the Qin Family''s this generation''s top talent. He was Qin Peiyu''s cousin, but he was only the son of a concubine. His status in the Qin Family was not high.


    The Qin Family brimmed with talents. He relied on his talent to charge out of the heavy encirclement and became the Qin Family''s this generation''s number one genius.


    In the Qin Family, this kind of large family clan, the competition among the younger generation was very brutal.


    Even right now, he and Su Yuecang three people were simultaneously called Wu Meng Four Young Masters, but even so, his status in the Qin Family was far inferior to the others.


    Because above him, in the Wu Meng Academy, there were still several formidable foes.


    The Wu Meng Four Young Masters were merely squabbles in front of family clans.


    Therefore, he wanted to astound the world in a single brilliant feat in the entrance examination this time, and overpower the other geniuses, becoming the top dog.


    That way, he could truly enter the Qin Family''s nucleus.


    It was only to see Qin Shao''s sword moving boldly and unconstrained, akin to a no-man zone in the beast horde, his strength overwhelming!


    That youth called Ye Yuan can''t be underestimated. Even if I really get top dog, I absolutely can''t lower my guard too! Although his current strength isn''t strong, once he enters the Wu Meng Academy, he might very likely catch up and surpass his seniors! Qin Shao thought to himself.


    Ye Yuan''s performance in the first round made him feel tremendous pressure.


    Su Yuecang and the rest were indeed his competitors. But those people''s potentials, he more or less knew a little.


    But Ye Yuan''s first round''s performance was too astonishing, exhibiting limitless potential.


    If Ye Yuan could successfully pass through the three levels, he might become a formidable opponent in the future.


    One had to know that Wu Meng Academy was not just a stay of one or two years. Within a thousand years in the future, they had to all study here!


    Such a long time, no one would know what kind of variable would happen too.


    ...


    Ye Yuan discovered that he could still cheat!


    Maybe this could not be called cheating, but it was his specialty as an alchemist.


    Facing these divine beasts with grand completion Grotto Profound Realm, he did not need to expend much divine essence.


    With his exquisite control over divine essence, his survivability greatly increased compared to other martial artists.


    This round, what they competed in was not how many enemies killed.


    But �� survival!


    The tidewater-like divine beasts, even if the realm was any lower, it was a considerable pressure to same realm martial artists too.


    To be able to charge out from the first round, they could be said to all be geniuses among geniuses.


    Their strengths were a notch above others to begin with.


    If it were ordinary martial artists, being able to survive three or four waves was already considered very impressive.


    Ye Yuan''s exquisite control over divine essence could let him slay even more divine beasts with the least divine essence.


    Ye Yuan''s combat experience was very rich, far from what others could compare to.


    Walking all the way from the Immortal Grove World, the battles that he had seen before, other geniuses had not seen before at all.


    This degree of slaughtering was nothing to him.


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s greatest drawback was his martial technique.


    Although the Vast Heaven Sword Art was pretty good, compared to Qin Shao, those geniuses who walked out of large families, it had inherent deficiencies.


    This point, Ye Yuan experienced it very soon in battle.


    At the 20th wave, all of the divine beasts'' strength went up another stage, all becoming late-stage One-star!


    Immediately, Ye Yuan felt the pressure on him soar sharply. Divine essence consumption speed also accelerated significantly.


    This 20th wave is indeed extraordinary. There are probably quite a number of people that will fall at this level, right? Ye Yuan estimated it over in his mind.


    In reality, only 30% was able to hang on until the 20th wave, just less than 2000 people!


    Not every person could save divine essence like Ye Yuan, expending until now.


    Even so, such a high intensity consumption, his divine essence was running low too.


    \"Starting now, there will be array formation cooperation among divine beasts! Each round passed will add 10 points!\"


    The moment the 20th wave passed, that ethereal voice sounded out once more.


    Then, a large wave of divine beasts struck!


    It was just that this time, they no longer rampaged around wildly like before.


    Among each other, there was some order.


    Seeing this, Ye Yuan felt his head hurt, and he said with a bitter smile, \"Looks like Earth Carnage this round can''t earn much points!\"


    Ye Yuan used all his power and even used the Voice of the Dragon God in the end, finally stopping at the 23rd wave regretfully.


    Under the cooperation of several dozen divine beasts, Ye Yuan was trampled into minced meat in the end.


    His consciousness abruptly withdrew, returning into his body.


    \"Ye Yuan, cleared 23 rounds, obtaining 30 points. Total points, 120!\" announced the old man on the platform directly.


    When everyone saw this scene, they all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    \"Scared me to death! I even thought that this guy will defy the heavens all the way!\"


    \"Looking at it now, it''s also just that his Martial Dao willpower is a little firmer. His true strength is still far off!\"


    \"Mm, this round''s performance not being good shows that his overall strength can''t make it.\"


    \"What the entrance examination tests focus on are overall strength. Adding together the results of the three rounds is the final benchmark to judge a person''s potential.\"


    ...


    As the sole middle-stage Grotto Profound among the people left, Ye Yuan''s every action and movement naturally attracted much attention.


    But very clearly, his dazzling light did not last.


    Ye Yuan''s performance this round was not astonishing. It could even be said to be at the bottom. This made Ye Yuan much less of a topic of conversation. These people naturally lost interested in him too.


    Hence, everyone''s focal point was placed on the top dog this time.


    Very soon, Xie Jingyi''s consciousness also returned to his body.


    Seeing the old man announce Little Fatty''s results, Ye Yuan was extremely shocked too.


    This guy actually made it to the 25th wave, obtaining 50 points!


    When he came to the waiting area and saw Ye Yuan, he said smugly, \"Haha, this time, this bro beat you, right? Looking at your expression, Lord Fatty, I, am enjoying it very much!\"

 1369 Youre Afraid!

    Ye Yuan was indeed rather surprised. Little Fatty passed the first round so laboriously, so Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually earned points in the second round.


    Looks like this joker, Little Fatty, was not as simple as he looked on the surface!


    Although this second round was done under a very fair environment, it was also considered each trying to outshine the other.


    Each person had some of their own trump card ability, even if being restricted in various ways.


    But with Xie Jingyi successfully passing the round, Ye Yuan was happy for him too.


    \"Heh, couldn''t tell that you really have some capability!\" Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    Xie Jingyi also smiled and said, \"The one who''s capable is you! Although cultivation realm was adjusted accordingly, being able to pass through the second round with your strength is already very difficult to begin with!\"


    Time passed day by day. One martial artist after another was killed in the consciousness space, then came out.


    In this round, Ye Yuan''s results were not only not considered outstanding, it even somewhat paled in comparison.


    But all these, Ye Yuan actually expected it to some extent and was also not really dejected.


    Ever since coming to the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan had already set his mind straight.


    He was no longer a proud son of heaven who possessed a lifetime''s experience and was also unable to crush all the way like in the past.


    But he could take it one step at a time, walking firmly!


    In reality, Ye Yuan''s cultivation path had only just begun.


    It was very normal for him to not be able to compete with those disciples that large families groomed heavily.


    But then again, his middle-stage Grotto Profound strength being able to do it to this extent already crushed countless powerhouses.


    He believed that when his cultivation realm rose, he absolutely would not be worse than these so-called geniuses.


    After a month, the second round, Earth Carnage, ended. Qin Shao shook the others off behind with the result of 40 waves, leaving them far behind in the dust.


    After two rounds, he ranked first with 315 points!


    But what everyone did not expect was that Brilliant Peace City''s Jia Chong actually caught up from behind after this round, surpassing Su Yuecang, and ranking in as second!


    His result was 36 waves.


    Seeing Jia Chong obtaining this result, Xie Jingyi''s expression became very ugly again.


    And just as the results were announced, Jia Chong actually walked over toward Xie Jingyi.


    He looked at Xie Jingyi with a haughty look and said disdainfully, \"I didn''t expect that you, this kind of trash, could actually clear two rounds too! But �� it''s useless! You saw it yourself too, the disparity between you and me is like a firefly versus the bright moon! You don''t take a piss and check yourself out either, are you worthy of Lin Xiu?\"


    This action of his immediately caught everyone''s attention.


    After two rounds, Jia Chong''s performance was too eye-catching. It would not do even if people did not want to pay attention to him.


    It was just that, everyone did not expect that Jia Chong would run in front of a little fatty to put on a show of force.


    Xie Jingyi''s face turned from green to white, but his entire body was shuddering, unable to even speak.


    He was really afraid of Jia Chong!


    Jia Chong was too strong. To be able to charge to the position of second place out of a million people, his strength could be imagined.


    Furthermore, this kind of might was an all-rounder might.


    Xie Jingyi did not even have the qualifications to be proud in front of him.


    Regarding Xie Jingyi''s performance, Jia Chong was very satisfied.


    A cold glint suddenly appeared in his eyes as he said in a cold voice, \"Also, if you let me hear you say that you''re Ah Xiu''s man again next time, you''ll die very horribly!\"


    Xie Jingyi opened his mouth, desperately wanting to refute, but he just could not speak up.


    Being love rivals with such a person was too dangerous.


    \"You''re afraid!\"


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan, who was beside Xie Jingyi, spoke up.


    One sentence stupefied everyone.


    Jia Chong''s eyes narrowed, and he looked at Ye Yuan, saying in a cold voice, \"I know you, Ye Yuan! Your first round''s performance was pretty good. I originally thought that you were a formidable opponent, but sadly �� your strength is too poor! What? You want to stand up for this trash?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said again, \"You''re afraid!\"


    No idea why, seeing that strength smile of Ye Yuan''s Jia Chong actually felt somewhat lacking in confidence.


    \"What a joke! You''re saying that I''m afraid of this trash? Hahaha �� Does everyone think it''s funny or not!\" Jia Chong said with a loud laugh.


    Of course, not only that he felt it was funny, the others similarly felt that it was ridiculous.


    Jia Chong was the current test''s second place. No matter what, he was also not what a trash who barely passed could compare to.


    \"This Ye Yuan seems to have a pretty good relationship with that fatty. He''s standing up for him. It''s just that these words are said rather bafflingly!\"


    \"Heh, I really didn''t think that Brilliant Peace City''s number one genius is actually a love rival of this fatty.\"


    \"Jia Chong would be afraid of this little fatty? Isn''t this making a joke?\"


    \"This little fatty is a joker. Could it be that it infected Ye Yuan? Hahaha ��\"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words made no sense but incurred a wave of mockery.


    No matter looking from which angle, Jia Chong had no reason to be afraid of a rookie like that too.


    It was just that Ye Yuan appeared rather calm as he said coolly, \"Firstly, I know that you didn''t place him in your sights at all before, thinking that there''s no way he passes the test. Hence, you were disdainful to come and show off your excellence to him as well. But you''re doing it now! This indicates that him passing two rounds consecutively already almost has the qualifications to stand on the same platform as you! You saw his potential, so you �� felt threatened!\"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was heated, enunciating each word, saying it reasonably.


    The people who made a lot of noise just now all shut their mouths sensibly at this time.


    Ye Yuan''s words actually made them unable to refute!


    Jia Chong''s face fell, as if Ye Yuan''s words struck his sore spot, digging out the things in the depths of his heart.


    Honestly, even he himself also did not know why he wanted to come over just now.


    This Xie Jingyi, he did not attach any importance at all.


    \"Humph! Fallacy! I came to warn him just because he talked big just now, saying that he''s Lin Xiu''s man! He isn''t worthy!\" Jia Chong said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"This is precisely the second point I''m talking about! You couldn''t wait to come and demonstrate your sovereignty, indicating that you''re not confident! If you have absolute confidence, you would only brush this kind of thing away with a laugh. Because he doesn''t post a threat to you. Now �� you''re afraid!\"


    Jia Chong''s expression changed. Ye Yuan''s every word struck the heart, making his heart sink.


    Even he himself could not resist doubting himself too. Could it be that I''m really scared?


    Jia Chong''s expression was incomparably ugly. A bout of faintly imperceptible killing intent locked onto Ye Yuan and Xie Jingyi.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said coolly, \"If you want to prove that Lin Xiu''s is yours, then use your strength to obtain her heart, then show off in front of Fatty. This kind of pointless threat will only make you seem very intolerant.\"


    Jia Chong''s expression was grim until water was dripping out, and he said in a cold voice, \"What a joke! What qualifications do you have to judge me! When your strength surpasses mine, then come in front of me to talk nonsense! But very good, right now, you''ve successfully aroused my fury. I''ll make you and this fatty know what''s called despair!\"


    Ye Yuan replied, nonchalantly, \"Relax, that day won''t be too far off. There isn''t any difficulty in surpassing you.\"

 1370 Wu Meng Wargod Formula

    \"How arrogant! Although this guy has some potential, wanting to surpass Jia Chong, he''s probably still a little too tender.\"


    \"Looking at Jia Chong''s strength, he''ll also be top three no matter what in the third round, right? Overall strength being so powerful, Ye Yuan really dared to say it!\"


    \"Heh, this kid is probably puffed up! I thought that his first round''s results were not bad and could disregard other people. He also doesn''t think about it, even the first round, Jia Chong wasn''t much worse than him either.\"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately kicked up a wave in the crowd.


    These words were rather arrogant!


    Ye Yuan''s first round''s performance was indeed eye-catching. But in the second round, he immediately revealed his true colors.


    His overall strength was not on the same level as Jia Chong at all.


    With two rounds, Ye Yuan''s results already faded into the crowd.


    Forget about Jia Chong, even some who were ranked slightly behind also caught up from behind, surpassing him.


    \"Hahaha �� You really dare to say that?! I want to take a look at how you surpass me! Why not �� let''s compete in the third round, how''s that?\" Jia Chong said oppressively.


    The third round, Illumination, was about competing on comprehension ability!


    Willpower, strength, comprehension ability, this was the true objective of the Wu Meng Academy''s three rounds of assessment.


    Only by completely passing the three rounds was one worthy of Wu Meng Academy''s grooming, becoming an official student.


    Jia Chong was certain that Ye Yuan was just threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky, and did not dare to compete with him.


    Judging from bone age, he was about the same as Ye Yuan.


    However, he was grand completion Grotto Profound right now, while Ye Yuan was just middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    Just judging from cultivation realm, it was already sufficient to indicate many problems.


    Martial Dao willpower this thing was unrelated to cultivation realm. But comprehension ability this thing had considerable relationship with cultivation realm.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jia Chong with a smile that was not a smile and said, \"Alright, how to compete?\"


    Jia Chong sneered coldly in his heart. Looks like this guy was puffing himself up at his own cost, stubbornly hanging on till the end.


    \"Since that''s the case, then let you lose everything! Let you know what''s the outcome of standing up for this trash!\" Jia Chong laughed coldly in his heart.


    \"Compete in points! The one who wins gets all of the other party''s points! Do you dare?\" Jia Chong said in an imposing manner.


    Ye Yuan was delighted the moment he heard and said with a smile, \"Since you''re so generous, then your points, I''ll take it upon myself and accept it.\"


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, feeling that this guy was really crazy.


    Xie Jingyi pulled Ye Yuan''s clothes and whispered, \"Brother, I''ve received your kind intentions. But don''t compete with him. You''re not his match. This guy is known as Brilliant Peace City''s number one genius, his comprehension ability being abnormally high! Whatever cultivation methods and martial techniques reach his hands, there''s none that he can''t comprehend!\"


    Jia Chong laughed loudly and said, \"Heard that? Ye Yuan, bragging also depends on the target! Not anyone can proclaim to be a genius!\"


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said to the old man on the platform with cupped fists, \"Student Ye Yuan, requests Teacher to be a witness and arrange for a wager agreement with him!\"


    The old man had long been paying attention to the situation over here. But he did not say anything.


    Wu Meng Academy encouraged this kind of competition. Gambling agreements that did not affect the whole, they did not forbid such things.


    It was just that like today, drawing up a gambling agreement before even entering the sect, it was really not frequently seen.


    The old man nodded and said, \"Can!\"


    Ye Yuan''s actions made everyone stunned.


    Agreed upon just like this?


    This Ye Yuan''s head wouldn''t be defective, right?


    \"Ye Yuan, this ��\"


    \"Alright, stop being foolishly sentimental! If you''re a man, clear this third round properly, don''t let people look down on you!\" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xie Jingyi had remorse and guilt written all over his face. Hearing Ye Yuan say so, he gritted his teeth and said, \"You rest assured, I definitely won''t disappoint you! Jia Chong, don''t blame us for bullying you! Teacher, Ye Yuan''s points aren''t enough, so I''ll bet all of my points too! If we win, the points all belong to Ye Yuan; if lose, our points will all go to him!\"


    It was also unknown where Xie Jingyi''s courage came from either, to actually make this kind of decision.


    Previously, when he saw Jia Chong, he could not even speak. He did not expect that he actually still had such a hot-blooded side.


    The look in Xie Jingyi''s eyes, Jia Chong disliked it a lot!


    He suddenly discovered that this opponent he had always looked down on seemed to have really grown up!


    \"Heh, fools! Since you''re gifting points to me for free, then I''ll accept it! I''ll let you guys know what''s called disparity!\" Jia Chong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xie Jingyi rather surprisedly, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, \"Relax, won''t lose. His points, let''s each take half.\"


    Everyone was speechless. This had not begun yet, and they already started dividing the loot?


    This guy was also too condescending.


    The old man could not stop sizing up Ye Yuan rather curiously. He very much wanted to see a trace of uneasiness from Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    But he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan had an appearance of having a well-thought-out plan, not putting Jia Chong in his sights at all.


    He was very perplexed, just where Ye Yuan''s confidence lay.


    The second round already thoroughly exposed Ye Yuan''s true standards.


    Maybe he had potential, but it was absolutely not as powerful as what he displayed in the first round.


    Age similar to Jia Chong, but two minor realms lower than him, the disparity was already very apparent.


    Of course, these doubts, he only kept them in his mind. He was very curious to what extent Ye Yuan could do it.


    \"Alright, being able to walk to this step, everybody already proved your strength. This third round is a test, but to you all, it''s a lucky chance too! How much you can comprehend will depend on your good fortune!\" said the old man coolly.


    Hearing the old man''s words, everyone''s faces all faintly revealed looks of anticipation.


    Three rounds of entrance examinations, this third round was the most mysterious.


    Although everyone knew that what this round tested was comprehension ability, they did not know the specifics of the test contents.


    Because this third round''s test was strictly confidential to the outside world.


    \"Now, you all swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, you''re not to reveal anything about this third round''s test contents to the outside! Those unwilling to swear the oath can withdraw right now!\" said the old man seriously.


    Ye Yuan was also very curious. It looked like the contents of this third round''s test seemed to be rather extraordinary!


    Under the old man''s lead, everyone participated in the Heavenly Dao Oath.


    \"Now, you all return to your respective lotus seats! The test content of this third round is to comprehend a set of cultivation method! The name of this cultivation method is Wu Meng Wargod Formula!\" said the old man nonchalantly.


    A stone stirred up a thousand-story wave. The old man''s words immediately made the remaining people seethe.


    \"It''s actually the Wu Meng Wargod Formula! I didn''t expect that we can actually comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula!\"


    \"Wu Meng Wargod Formula is City Lord, His Excellency''s, primary cultivation method! One can cultivate all the way to Divine Lord Realm! No wonder! No wonder this third round''s test content has always been kept confidential to the outside!\"


    \"It''s truly a good fortune of three lifetimes! Being able to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, even if eliminated in this round, it''s worth it too!\"


    \"Even if just comprehended a tiny bit, this set of cultivation method is also sufficient to let us benefit for life!\"

 1371 Talent Too Poor?

    \"Starting from now, you all have one month''s time to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula''s first level cultivation method! After a month, you all will revolve the cultivation method on this jade pillar. You just have to make the jade pillar light up five scale lines, and it''s considered as a pass! After five scale lines, each scale higher, you''ll obtain 15 points!\"


    In front of the plaza stood an emerald green jade pillar.


    There were 30 scale lines on the jade pillar. They naturally represented the comprehension degree of 30 levels.


    \"Five scales and you pass the test? Then isn''t this round very easy?\" Ye Yuan said rather curiously.


    Xie Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, \"How can it be as easy as you think? Actually, this round is the hardest among the three rounds! The Wu Meng Wargod Formula is extensive and profound, how much can one comprehend in a month''s time? Right now, there are still around 2000 people remaining. It would be pretty good to have four to five hundred people remaining in the end! The majority of the people''s standard is also just around three or four scales. Five scales are very difficult. If you get those people who are eliminated come and comprehend, it would be pretty impressive to be able to have one scale.\"


    Ye Yuan came to understand in his heart and had a direct understanding of this round''s difficulty.


    But this was not a problem for him. He was very confident in his comprehension ability.


    \"So that''s how it is! Then in your view, how many scales can Jia Chong reach?\" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Xie Jingyi''s expression turned stern, and he said, \"In the legends, the highest record for this round is 23 scales! In normal years, the number one is approximately 15 to 16 scales. If judging him according to third place, it''s roughly 12 to 13 scales! Ye Yuan, are you �� confident?\"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, \"You just put your heart back in place! What you have to do is comprehend well and succeed in clearing the round!\"


    Seeing Ye Yuan so certain, Xie Jingyi settled down a lot in his heart.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan could really create a miracle!


    \"Now, third round, Illumination �� start!\"


    Following the old man''s voice sounding out, everyone''s consciousness was pulled out of the body once more.


    In the consciousness space, Ye Yuan was surrounded by endless divine inscriptions.


    Presently, divine inscriptions were already not some unfathomable thing to Ye Yuan anymore.


    \"This set of cultivation method �� seems to be very simple!\"


    Ye Yuan browsed over the divine inscriptions and discovered that this set of cultivation method was surprisingly simple.


    Originally, he still wanted to comprehend it earnestly but discovered that these divine inscriptions were easily discerned at a glance. There was no mystery to speak of in front of him at all.


    A hint of understanding appeared in Ye Yuan''s heart as he sighed emotionally and said, \"Yeah, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon is all-encompassing. It''s no idea how many levels stronger than this Wu Meng Wargod Formula. No wonder it would be so simple.\"


    Ye Yuan found the reason very quickly. His horizons were too high!


    What kind of cultivation method the Chaos Heavenspan Canon turned into in the future, Ye Yuan was not clear as well. But to be able to trigger an illusionary Heavenspan Mountain to descend, this first level cultivation method was absolutely no ordinary!


    Ye Yuan created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, then coming to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, he was like a top student learning advanced mathematics going to do elementary school math problems.


    Too simple!


    \"This cultivation method has its merits. But sadly, it''s a little shallow. If modifying it slightly, it should have greater potential. But my current realm is too low. At most, I can only modify this first level''s cultivation method.\"


    Only using three days'' time, Ye Yuan thoroughly comprehended the Wu Meng Wargod Formula.


    Not just so, he even saw through this cultivation method''s many shortcomings.


    As long as he was willing, he could make this cultivation method even more perfect, letting the foundations of the people who cultivate it be even more solid.


    It was just that there was no meaning in him doing so right now, so he could not be bothered to do it either.


    This cultivation method was too simple. Ye Yuan was bored to death staying behind and directly withdrew out of the consciousness space.


    \"Mm? It has only been three days, and somebody left the consciousness space?\"


    The mind of the old man on the platform stirred, his brows knitted tightly, his gaze begun searching in the crowd.


    \"Could it be that somebody felt that the Wu Meng Wargod Formula is too hard, and is aware that they are unable to pass the test, so they abandoned themselves to despair?\" said another old man.


    \"Afraid so!\"


    The test in the past, no matter how talented the student, there had never been a precedent of withdrawing out of the consciousness space in-advance too.


    He did not expect that this time, it actually appeared.


    Even if those people knew that they were unable to pass the test, they would also do their best to comprehend the cultivation method.


    After all, Wu Meng Wargod Formula, this level of cultivation method, was one-of-a-kind in the entire Wu Meng Capital City, the opportunity hard to come by!


    The two old men presiding over the test both gave rise to a strong contempt towards this person.


    People of the Martial Dao dreaded retreating in the face of difficulties the most.


    This kind of mind, how to accomplish great things?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly left the lotus seat and walked over towards the waiting area.


    \"It''s him!\"


    \"This boy, his talent should be so poor, right?\"


    \"That''s hard to say too! After all, Martial Dao willpower and comprehension ability don''t have a definite relationship. His age isn''t young anymore as well, but his realm is only so little. Perhaps it''s a problem of comprehension ability!\"


    \"What you say makes sense too! It''s just that his wager agreement �� probably can''t be realized anymore! Originally thought that he could definitely pass the test.\"


    \"Heh, not fulfilling the wager agreement, Jia Chong probably won''t let him off, right?\"


    \"Since he isn''t the academy''s student, his life and death have nothing to do with us.\"


    The two people already determined that this was Ye Yuan''s talent being too poor, unable to comprehend the Wu Meng Wargod Formula.


    After all, the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, such a profound cultivation method, even just the first level, was also absolutely not what could be comprehended in a month,


    In reality, the 30 scale lines on the jade pillar were not complete, they were just a portion.


    Wanting to fully comprehend the first level''s cultivation method, no matter how talented, one needed a hundred year''s time too.


    A month was just a bit of superficial knowledge.


    But whether Ye Yuan was eliminated or not still had to wait until after the jade pillar''s test to decide.


    Ye Yuan came before the platform, gave a bow toward the two old men as a show of respect.


    One of them could not resist and still opened his mouth to ask, \"Ye Yuan, why did you withdraw from the consciousness space so quickly? Although this cultivation method is profound, if you comprehend for a month, it''s sufficient to benefit you for life!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Thank you for Teacher''s concern! The Wu Meng Wargod Formula is indeed extensive and profound. But a month''s time seriously can''t comprehend much. I plan on comprehending in detail after entering the academy.\"


    The old man froze, being somewhat baffled by Ye Yuan.


    With the way you were, you still want to enter the Wu Meng Academy?


    He had never seen before someone capable of entering the Wu Meng Academy with just three days of comprehension.


    The old man''s face fell, and he said, \"Ye Yuan, you mustn''t reach beyond your reach as a person! Your Martial Dao willpower is very firm, but since your talent is lacking, you have to make up for it with diligence. How can you talk big to impress people?\"


    In his view, Ye Yuan was clearly too lacking in talent, yet insisted on acting and showing off.


    At that time, they would not even know how they died.


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly when he heard that and said, \"Thank you for Teacher''s concern, Ye Yuan understands!\"

 1372 You Idiot!

    \"Huhu, looks like you didn''t misjudge here. His first round''s performance deceived all of us! Looks like Teacher Lei Dong and Teacher Mu Sen were also deceived by him!\" Song Fang said to Jiang Chen with a laugh.


    But Jiang Chen did not speak when he heard that, seemingly pondering about something.


    \"I wonder�� Do you think his talent really too poor? If his talent is really very poor, then how did he clear the second round? Even if cultivation realm is compensated, wanting to clear the round isn''t that easy either, right?\" Jiang Chen said with a frown.


    If his talent was really poor to such a degree, even if a middle-stage Grotto Profound''s realm was compensated, it was basically impossible to pass the second round too.


    However, not only did Ye Yuan pass it, he even exceeded by three waves!


    \"You''re saying ��\" Song Fang was also puzzled.


    Jiang Chen shook his head and said, \"I don''t know either! I similarly don''t think that he can beat Jia Chong by comprehending three days! The difficulty of the Wu Meng Wargod Formula, you and I are all too clear!\"


    Song Fang smiled bitterly and said, \"What you said makes sense too. I discovered that this kid is simply an enigmatic existence.\"


    Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, \"Carry on watching then. The mystery will be unveiled after a month.\"


    ...


    A month''s time passed in a flash. Ye Yuan came to the waiting area and cultivated on his own for a month''s time.


    Jia Chong withdrew from the consciousness space. Opening his eyes to take a look, he discovered that the waiting area shockingly only had one person. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    He was first stunned, following that, flowers immediately bloomed in his heart.


    \"Ignorant fool, directly giving up?\" Jia Chong said with a cold smile.


    Not just Jia Chong, when the others saw the Ye Yuan who was alone in the waiting area, they had astounded looks too.


    \"What''s going on here? Why would Ye Yuan be in the waiting area?\"


    \"No idea how long he''s been in the waiting area too, does he have a well-thought-out plan? Or has he already given up?\"


    \"Rubbish, of course he has given up! Wu Meng Wargod Formula, this kind of precious cultivation method, even if one is fully aware that they can''t pass, they will comprehend it well too!\"


    \"This bit of talent and he also dares to challenge Jia Chong, is he soft in the head?\"


    ...


    After the astonishment, everyone had disdainful looks towards Ye Yuan.


    Originally, people thought that he more or less had some abilities to want to bet with Jia Chong. They did not think that he directly gave up.


    This was coming to be a fool, right?


    \"Alright, the hour has come. The assessment is starting now! Everyone, all go to the waiting area. When you hear your name, come up in proper order! First one, Wang Qiang!\" Lei Dong said in a clear voice.


    The expression of Wang Qiang, who was called, turned stiff, clearly not quite confident.


    He placed his hand on the jade pillar and started revolving the cultivation method.


    \"HAH!\"


    Wang Qiang unleashed all of his power, but only reached the third scale line.


    \"Wang Qiang, test failed! Shatter the wooden tablet yourself and withdraw from the test,\" Lei Dong said.


    Wang Qiang unwillingly crushed the wooden tablet with a look of regret and was directly transported out.


    \"Next ��\"


    One name after another was called. Sure enough, as Xie Jingyi said, the majority of the people were unable to reach the benchmark of five scales.


    Xie Jingyi scooted beside Ye Yuan and asked softly, \"Bro, what''s the deal with you? When did you withdraw?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"I withdrew on the third day.\"


    Xie Jingyi''s eyeballs went wide, and he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said, \"Hey, bro, are you kidding me?!\"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, \"Not joking. Dealing with that guy, three days is enough.\"


    Xie Jingyi was speechless.


    \"Heh, I was wondering how thick your cowhide was. It popped from you puffing, right? Not entering the academy, the academy won''t care about your life and death. Therefore, you just wait for death!\" Jia Chong arrived beside the two people at goodness knows when and said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to even raise an eyebrow and spat a word out of his mouth, \"Idiot!\"


    Jia Chong''s expression changed, and he said fiercely, \"What did you say?\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Are you deaf? I said �� you''re an idiot! You''re an idiot! Idiot! Heard it now? If you didn''t hear, I can urge divine essence and be a little louder.\"


    \"Pfft!\"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was already loud enough. Virtually everyone heard it. Quite a few people could not resist laughing.


    Jia Chong''s face had long changed color, wishing to shred Ye Yuan alive.


    Except, those two up there were currently watching. He did not dare to make a move.


    \"Punk, when the assessment is over, I''ll make you regret everything you did today!\" Jia Chong gave a cold snort and flicked his sleeves and went off.


    He discovered that in front of Ye Yuan, bickering could not gain any advantage at all.


    This assessment was very fast. Before long, a large number of people were eliminated.


    \"Next, Jia Chong!\"


    Jia Chong stepped out of the ranks proudly when he was called.


    He was extremely confident in his comprehension ability. In his eyes, his opponent only had Qin Shao!


    The others, he did not place them in his sights at all.


    Jia Chong pressed his palm on the jade pillar and revolved the cultivation method. The jade pillar started lighting up.


    Clearly, his lighting speed was much faster than those people before!


    In virtually a blink of an eye, it broke through five scale lines!


    After breaking through five scale lines, the light on the jade pillar did not diminish in the slightest, rising straight up all the way, and arrived at the tenth scale line very quickly!


    \"S-So strong! Jia Chong''s comprehension ability is too strong! There''s probably only Qin Shao who can compete with him!\"


    \"Broke through the tenth scale line so quickly, he''ll most likely charge up to the 15th!\"


    \"Truly remarkable! Looks like this third round, he still has hope of overpowering Qin Shao.\"


    ...


    Jia Chong''s comprehension ability was indeed very strong. His astonishing performance immediately aroused a wave of exclamations.


    Even Qin Shao''s face changed slightly too, clearly sensing tremendous pressure.


    \"17 scale lines! So strong!\"


    Finally, Jia Chong stopped at the 17th scale line.


    This result was sufficient to rank first in previous years.


    The faces of the Wu Meng Four Young Masters were all incomparably solemn. Clearly, they did not expect that Jia Chong''s comprehension ability was actually so high!


    Obtaining such a good result, the first thing Jia Chong thought of was showing off to Ye Yuan.


    His gaze looked in Ye Yuan''s direction, holding peacocking and a demonstration of power in his eyes.


    But unfortunately, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to even give him a glance. There was also no surprised expression on his face.


    \"Punk, there will come a time when you regret it!\" Jia Chong thought hatefully in his heart.


    \"Next, Xie Jingyi!\"


    Coincidentally, the next after Jia Chong was little fatty Xie Jingyi.


    \"Come on!\" Ye Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder.


    Xie Jingyi nodded his head and stood in front of the jade pillar.


    Little Fatty sucked in a deep breath, pressing his palm on the jade pillar.


    The jade pillar slowly lit up, one scale line, two scale lines ��


    Finally, Little Fatty''s scale stopped on the fifth scale line!


    Xie Jingyi had a look of wild ecstasy as he shouted: \"Hahaha �� I didn''t expect it! I didn''t expect it! I really passed the test! Sniff, sniff �� I �� I really passed the test! Sniff, sniff �� Ye Yuan, thank you!\"


    As he said, Xie Jingyi actually started crying.


    Before coming here, he never dreamed that he could actually pass the test and become a student of the Wu Meng Academy!


    He knew that the person he should thank the most was Ye Yuan!

 1373 Watch a Good Show!

    \"Su Yuecang, 13 scale lines, obtained 120 points!\"


    \"Xiang Zhuang, 12 scale lines, obtained 115 points!\"


    \"Wu Yang, 12 scale lines, obtained 115 points!\"


    \"Qin Shao, 17 scale lines, obtained 180 points!\"


    ...


    Qin Shao''s results set off an upsurge in the crowd once more.


    Because his results basically already locked in the top dog this time!


    Even if Qin Shao was calm, when he obtained this result, his body was trembling incessantly too.


    For the sake of this day, he paid far too much.


    \"Qin Shao is really ridiculously strong! I originally thought that Jia Chong can overpower Qin Shao in this round, but I didn''t expect that he actually tied with him!\"


    \"Yeah! Qin Shao''s overall strength is seriously too strong! Other people can only look at his back!\"


    \"With this, the outcome is a foregone conclusion! If it was past years, Jia Chong was bound to crush the capital city''s geniuses. Unfortunately, he ran into Qin Shao.\"


    \"Next, Ye Yuan!\"


    Just as the people were discussing animatedly, it was finally Ye Yuan''s turn to take the field.


    Everyone also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually queued up so behind. He was considered to have been called out after a great many times.


    But everyone already did not have much interest in him. Everyone already sentenced him to death. It was impossible for him to pass the assessment.


    Wu Meng Wargod Formula, this kind of pinnacle cultivation method, he only used three days, and he could have some comprehensions?


    You have got to be kidding!


    If Ye Yuan really succeeded in clearing the round, where would these geniuses'' faces be put?


    \"Heh, a good show is about to happen! Let us see how Ye Yuan crushes us one million geniuses! Haha ��\"


    Jia Chong''s voice was very loud, immediately incurring a wave of roaring laughters.


    17 scale lines was already a lot higher than previous years'' average.


    Even the top dog, Qin Shao, only fought to a draw with him too. It could be seen how praiseworthy this was.


    For Ye Yuan to want to win Jia Chong, there was no possibility at all.


    When Ye Yuan passed by Jia Chong, he smiled and said, \"Then open your eyes wide and watch a good show!\"


    Jia Chong smiled coldly and said, \"Okay, I''ll wait and see!\"


    Ye Yuan came before the jade pillar and slowly put his palm on it.


    The next instant, the originally noisy waiting area immediately became dead silent.


    The audience was silent!


    It was only to see the jade pillar instantly light up. In virtually a blink of an eye, it charged past five scale lines!


    Under normal circumstances, the luminance of the jade pillar would get increasingly slower as it went up.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest trend of slowing down, directly charging up to the 10th scale line!


    Then, it was the 15th scale line, 16th scale line, 17th scale line.


    A draw!


    Everyone drew a cold breath, their eyeballs almost popping out.


    This scene happened too quickly, swiftly until everyone could not react to it.


    But just as everyone thought that it would still continue to charge up, the lighting speed of the jade pillar suddenly slowed down.


    Then, it slowly crawled past the 18th scale line.


    It stopped!


    After continuing a while, Ye Yuan slowly put down his palm and discovered that the old men on the platform were still in the midst of shock.


    \"Teacher?\" Ye Yuan said.


    Lei Dong''s entire body trembled. Only then did he come to his senses and said, \"Ye Yuan, 18 scale lines, obtained 195 points!\"


    Lei Dong''s words made everyone all come to their senses.


    \"This �� What''s going on here? What in the world happened just now? I feel like it went up with a whoosh all at once!\"


    \"My God! I even thought that my eyes were failing me and looked for quite a few times before discovering that it''s real!\"


    \"18 scale lines! He actually really surpassed Qin Shao and Jia Chong, ranking first!\"


    \"Why do I feel like �� he still has strength to spare? Could it be that �� this is my delusion?\"


    ...


    The waiting area was immediately in an uproar. Everyone did not dare to believe the scene that happened just now.


    Others unleashed even the strength used to suckle milk in order to make the jade pillar light up a bit.


    But Ye Yuan only lightly placed his hand on it and directly reached 17 scale lines. There was not the slightest bit of pause in the middle!


    Only when it reached the 18th scale line, did it abruptly stop.


    From motion to stillness, it gave people a feeling of longing for more.


    Everyone all felt that Ye Yuan still had strength left.


    He deliberately stopped on the 18th scale line!


    Of course, Ye Yuan did it on purpose.


    Want to win, he should win beautifully!


    But he also did not wish to be overly shocking and let people know that he directly comprehended the Wu Meng Wargod Formula.


    As for where his limits lay, let everyone go and guess.


    Lei Dong and Mu Sen exchanged glances, both seeing the deep shock in the other party''s eyes.


    They were certain that Ye Yuan absolutely held back strength!


    As for how much, they really did not dare to say.


    Maybe �� Maybe �� even higher than 23rd!


    This was already the limit that they could imagine!


    They naturally could not guess that if Ye Yuan went all out, he could blow this jade pillar up.


    \"Hahaha! Punk, didn''t expect that you were so impressive! You made Lord Fatty, I, worried for nothing!\" Xie Jingyi excitedly gave Ye Yuan another punch.


    He was really too happy!


    When he faced Jia Chong, he had always felt very inferior, inferior until he did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    This time, Ye Yuan really helped him to vent this grievance.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan even helped him regain confidence and helped him to miraculously pass the test!


    Although Ye Yuan was just a scale line higher than Jia Chong, in front of his startling performance, this one scale line was amplified infinitely!


    Ye Yuan clearly still had a great deal of strength to spare, it was just that he was unwilling to be high-profile.


    In front of Ye Yuan, Jia Chong''s light was overshadowed.


    The test afterward appeared dull and boring.


    The ones who passed the test, in the end, were only 300 over people.


    The rest were all transported out of this space.


    \"I said before, winning against you is too easy! Uh �� Thank you for your points,\" Ye Yuan said and shrugged.


    Jia Chong''s fury was almost bursting forth from his chest.


    The humiliation that Ye Yuan gave him was too strong!


    Looking back now, his provocation previously appeared so ridiculous!


    And the points that he worked hard to earn were actually reset all at once!


    That was 440 points!


    This was not just 440 points, it was also testimony to his 100 over years of hard work.


    Now, it was all gone!


    Jia Chong knew that without points, one could not advance an inch in the Wu Meng Academy.


    With these points, he could be a step faster than people.


    He did not expect that now, it was like drawing water with a sieve, having not a single point left!


    \"Ye Yuan, 220 points have already been transferred to your wooden tablet. Your current points are a total 520 points! However, your gambling agreement isn''t counted in the test. The top dog this time is still Qin Shao!\"


    Lei Dong transferred the points in Jia Chong''s wooden tablet into Ye Yuan and Xie Jingyi''s wooden tablets, respectively.


    Ye Yuan''s points were originally not considered outstanding, just above-average standard. Now, it charged to first place all of a sudden, even 25 points more than Qin Shao!


    Xie Jingyi held the wooden tablet, his heart still somewhat racing.


    Although it was satisfying this time, he also offended Jia Chong badly.


    In the past, Jia Chong did not take him seriously at all. Now, he would definitely think of ways to send him to his doom.

 1374 Golden Sword Token

    Suddenly, an inexplicable sense of palpitation welled up in their hearts. A powerful pressure descended from the sky.


    Lei Dong, Mu Sen, as well as the academy''s students all gave a bow respectfully.


    \"We welcome City Lord, Your Excellency''s descend!\"


    A middle-aged man in azure clothing slowly walked out of the void. As soon as he appeared, he gave people a feeling of peerlessness.


    So strong! Is this a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse? Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed in his heart.


    He did not think that this legendary Divine Lord Realm powerhouse actually came personally!


    This middle-aged man in azure clothes looked elegant and soft-spoken. But his might could not be concealed no matter what.


    Xiao Feng was already a peak Origin Deity powerhouse. But the oppressive feeling he gave Ye Yuan was on a completely different level from this one in front of him!


    Heh, this is merely a wisp of thought clone! A true Divine Lord Realm powerhouse is God knows how many times stronger than this, Dustless''s voice suddenly sounded out in his consciousness.


    Ye Yuan was shocked again when he heard that. Such a powerful oppressive force, and he was actually merely just a thought clone!


    Wu Meng City Lord said coolly, \"Being able to pass the test, you all are my Wu Meng Capital City''s top geniuses, with future accomplishments being limitless! Wu Meng Academy is the place where heroes gather. The path of a powerhouse for everyone has only just begun! I hope that �� there''s someone among you all who can surpass your predecessors and reach Divine Lord Realm!\"


    The words ignited everyone''s hot blood.


    For these students, their lifelong pursuit was Divine Lord Realm!


    But wanting to reach this step was far too difficult.


    Don''t look at how these genius martial artists all left people behind in the dust currently. Once their potential was used up, they might not be able to break through a minor realm for tens of thousands of years!


    Among Wu Meng Academy''s students, those whose talents were a little weaker could all reach grand completion Heaven Glimpse.


    The good ones could even reach grand completion Origin Deity!


    But they might not be able to produce one capable of breaking through to Divine Lord Realm in 100 thousand years!


    If Xiao Feng did not meet Ye Yuan, perhaps he could not find this breakthrough opportunity all his life too.


    Even so, whether or not he could really break through was another matter altogether.


    Wu Meng City Lord paused for a bit and continued, \"This lord coming here today is to take the top dog in as an in-name disciple! Qin Shao!\"


    Ever since the test, Qin Shao had always been calm and level-headed.


    But at this moment, he was trembling all over.


    That was trembling with excitement!


    This day, he had waited far too long.


    \"Disciple Qin Shao, pays respect to City Lord!\"


    Qin Shao directly knelt down towards Wu Meng City Lord and performed a master acknowledgment ceremony.


    Wu Meng City Lord slowly nodded and said, \"This test, you overpowered all geniuses and became the top dog! According to Wu Meng Academy''s rules, I''ll take you in as an in-name disciple today. This is the Golden Sword Token that represents this lord''s disciple status. Seeing this token is akin to seeing this lord!\"


    Wu Meng City Lord pointed a finger. A ray of golden light flew towards Qin Shao. A several inches long golden little sword appeared in his hand.


    Seeing this scene, all of the students felt envious.


    They all knew that not only did this Golden Sword Token represent the identity of a city lord''s disciple, but it was also a heavenly divine artifact in itself, with its boundless power!


    With it, it was equivalent to having a death-exemption golden token!


    Qin Shao said agitatedly, \"This disciple thanks Master!\"


    Wu Meng City Lord nodded and said, \"Mm, although you''re already an in-name disciple under me, you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don''t get proud by relying on favors! If you fail the tests in the future, this Golden Sword Token, this lord will take it back!\"


    Qin Shao''s heart turned cold, and he said, \"This disciple will remember Master''s teachings and will definitely work harder, and strive for a face to officially enter Master''s tutelage!\"


    Wu Meng City Lord nodded his head slightly and said coolly, \"Alright, the test this time is already done. After you all enter the academy, you have to work harder and become my Wu Meng Capital City''s pillars! This lord is going!\"


    While talking, Wu Meng City Lord''s figure gradually became illusionary.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan felt all the hairs on his body stand on its end.


    He clearly felt Wu Meng City Lord''s gaze turned toward him.


    Being stared intently by such a powerhouse, Ye Yuan''s hairs really stood on its end.


    But very soon, Wu Meng City Lord''s figure disappeared.


    Only then, did that uneasy sense of danger disappear.


    \"Could it be that �� he saw through something?\" Ye Yuan asked Dustless.


    The secrets on Ye Yuan were too many. Just the Soul Suppressing Pearl and World Suppressing Stele, two empyrean spirit treasures, were sufficient to drive the world crazy.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would be so low-profile and did not want to be overly eye-catching.


    Otherwise, even if he could not get many points in the second round, this position of top dog would also not be Qin Shao''s turn.


    \"Heh, he''s just interested in you! Your play was too overboard just now. His level of expertise, how could he possibly be completely unaware of it? However, with his bit of strength, he still can''t perceive this old man''s situation, so you just rest assured,\" Dustless said with a laugh.


    Only then did Ye Yuan let out a sigh in relief. Looks like the final round just now, he really played a little too overboard.


    \"Alright, now, take your wooden tablets and return to your lotus seats again. The lotus seats will transport you all to Wu Meng Academy!\" Lei Dong said.


    When everyone heard that, they all returned to the lotus seats one after another, being transported away one by one.


    Ye Yuan was just about to move but was stopped by Lei Dong.


    \"Ye Yuan, you wait a minute!\"


    Ye Yuan was stupefied and said, \"What is Teacher finding me for?\"


    Lei Dong''s gaze was heated as he said, \"Ye Yuan, you give an honest account, just how much strength did you preserve in the third round?\"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and said, bewilderedly, \"Preserve strength? Teacher, Ye Yuan already went all out, where''s the talk of holding back strength?\"


    Pretend!


    You just pretend!


    Even a fool could tell that Ye Yuan preserved strength.


    Withdrawing from the consciousness space in three days, then directly charging to the 18th scale line.


    No more, no less, just nicely able to win against Jia Chong!


    To say that Ye Yuan did not hold back strength, that was also a little too ridiculous, right?


    If Jia Chong''s result was 20 scale lines, Lei Dong did not doubt in the slightest that Ye Yuan could charge to 21 scale lines!


    But with Ye Yuan feigning ignorance, Lei Dong really did not have much temper. Waving his hand, he said, \"Alright, go then.\"


    \"Teacher, Ye Yuan will leave first!\" Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked towards the lotus seats. Mu Sen walked up and said, \"You believe him?\"


    \"Only a ghost will believe him! This kid isn''t honest!\" Lei Dong said disgruntledly.


    Mu Sen smiled and said, \"Although Qin Shao is formidable, you and I can see through with a glance. But this kid really can''t be fathomed! It looks like there are quite a number of secrets on him! Honestly speaking, I feel more optimistic about him!\"


    Lei Dong nodded his head and said, \"This boy is very hard to say. His future accomplishments might not be worse than Qin Shao''s!\"


    ...


    Little Fatty moved close and asked Ye Yuan softly, \"Bro, say honestly, how many scale lines is your limit?\"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, \"You guess?\"


    Xie Jingyi thought about it and said uncertainly, \"Twenty �� three?\"


    This was already the limit that he could imagine.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and smiled, but he did not speak.


    Xie Jingyi''s gaze turned intent, and he said again, \"Twenty �� six?\"


    Ye Yuan still shook his head and said with a smile, \"Stop guessing, I won''t tell you!\"

 1375 Sword Tomb

    \"What did you say? Ye Yuan he �� passed the test and entered the Wu Meng Academy? H-Haha, excellent! Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk! Hell has no gate, yet you want to barge inside!\"


    When Wang Song heard the news of Ye Yuan entering the Wu Meng Academy, he was thunderstruck.


    After the shock, Wang Song became wildly elated.


    If Ye Yuan kept on hiding in the Myriad Treasure Tower, he would really be helpless.


    But now, his chance finally came.


    \"What did you say? Ye Yuan''s points are even higher than the top dog?\"


    But when he heard the process of the events, concerning Ye Yuan entering the Wu Meng Academy with the result of points making him number one, his entire person was struck senseless.


    Only after a long time did Wang Song come back to his senses and muttered, \"This kid isn''t easy to deal with. This time, we must strike him dead in one blow!\"


    Chen Yongnian nodded and said, \"This kid has no idea of life or death, offending Brilliant Peace City''s number one genius, Jia Chong, during the test! In addition, the Qin Family''s Qin Shao obtained top dog this time, his future limitless! I heard that after Ye Yuan he entered the city, he seemed to have already offended the Qin Family?\"


    Wang Song gave him a glance rather surprisedly and said with a smile, \"Looks like your news network is very well-informed! That''s right! This boy is indeed a troublemaker. But this matter, we still have to give it further thought and confer at length. After all, no loss of life is permitted in the academy. Once we act rashly and alert the enemy, we won''t have a second chance!\"


    Chen Yongnian said, \"Ye Yuan that kid brings along a late-stage Two-star evil spirit around him. It''s not easy to deal with. But I heard that he is in close association with a little fatty, can we �� open up a gap from him?\"


    Wang Song''s eyes lit up, and he praised, \"That''s right! This little fatty indeed can be worked on! As for the Qin Family''s resources, better not touch for the time being.\"


    ...


    After entering the Wu Meng Academy, Ye Yuan spent an entire day and had a rough understanding of the Wu Meng Academy.


    This was a very loose school. Every day, there were Origin Deity Realm teachers giving lectures.


    But whether one went or not depended on their individual wishes.


    Want to muck around, that was up to you too.


    It was just that, if you think you could hang around in the school by mucking around, that was a big mistake.


    In the center of Wu Meng Academy''s plaza, two enormous rocks were placed and were called points stone.


    Each student''s points would be displayed on the points stones.


    One points stone was for recording inner-court disciples'' points. The other points stone was for recording outer-court disciples'' points.


    The numbers on the points stones were updated in real-time. Every bit of change would be recorded on the points stones.


    Most important, every ten years, Wu Meng Academy would eliminate the 20 lowest ranked students on the points stones, expelling them from the Wu Meng Academy!


    This elimination rate was very high, high until somewhat alarming!


    Wu Meng Academy''s students, the oldest was only until 1000 years old.


    After 1000 years old, regardless of what level they cultivated to, they could not stay in the academy anymore.


    Every 100 years, the academy would recruit around 200 to 500 students.


    But every ten years, 20 students would be eliminated.


    This was also to say that in these 100 years where no students were recruited, the academy would eliminate 200 students!


    Either advance or fall behind!


    After entering the academy, students were not allowed to have a hint of slacking off.


    These 200 students who were eliminated might not be new students, they might be old students too.


    All outer-court disciples took the test together.


    In addition, moving about in the academy, points would be continuously expended.


    Regardless whether it was cultivating martial techniques, cultivation methods, or exchanging for medicinal pills, it could not dispense with points.


    Therefore, if one want to not be eliminated, one must continuously earn points.


    There were many ways to earn points, such as doing a mission, such as challenging other students, and such as �� clearing trials!


    The academy would issue some missions every day. When students completed missions, they would obtain a fixed points reward.


    Challenging students should be a shortcut to earning points. They could amass large sums of points within a short time through continuously challenging other students.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that you won all!


    This challenging act was not a blind challenge. One could only challenge opponents ranked ten places higher than them on the points stones.


    The winner would obtain a certain points reward while the loser would be deducted of points.


    If the opponent you challenge was not carrying out a mission to clear challenges, they would have to answer the challenge.


    And the third approach, clearing trials �� Ye Yuan was currently outside the Sword Tomb.


    The Sword Tomb was Wu Meng Academy''s land of comprehending the sword. It was divided into eighteen levels. With each level passed, one could obtain a certain number of points as a reward.


    \"This senior apprentice brother, I wish to enter the Sword Tomb, this is my academy token!\"


    As he said, Ye Yuan handed over a token. This was the identity token that the academy issued to him after he entered the Wu Meng Academy.


    Zhao Qin was an inner-court disciple. He accepted this mission of guarding the Sword Tomb several days ago and was satisfied with this work.


    Zhao Qin sized Ye Yuan up with a glance and said disdainfully, \"New here, right? Do you know this Sword Tomb''s dangers? Your bit of strength going in, you''ll be dismembered in a just a while. I advise that you''d best cultivate a bit first, then go in.\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother''s concern. But I''m very interested in this Sword Tomb and still wish to experience it.\"


    Zhao Qin raised his eyebrow and said, \"Heh, it''s up to you if you want to seek your own doom! Entering the Sword Tomb has a one-time deduction of 20 points. You have a month''s time to comprehend the sword. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can comprehend the sword.\"


    Zhao Qin had a small jade tray in front of him. He swiped Ye Yuan''s academy token on it, and the scornful expression instantly changed.


    His eyebrows raised up, looking at Ye Yuan rather disbelievingly as he said, \"Hiss �� why would you have so many points? Could it be that �� you''re this season''s new students'' top dog?\"


    Ye Yuan received the token and said with a smile, \"Senior Apprentice Brother is worrying too much. I won these points by gambling. This season''s top dog is someone else.\"


    Just as they were talking, a figure suddenly dashed out from behind Ye Yuan.


    That person handed the token to Zhao Qin and said, \"Sword Tomb. I want to enter the Sword Tomb.\"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up. This person was none other than precisely this year''s top dog, Qin Shao!


    He did not expect that this Qin Shao had the same view as him without prior consultation, coming to the Sword Tomb on the first stop.


    Zhao Qin was rather surprised and said, \"You all, these newbies, really don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. To actually choose the Sword Tomb when you just entered the sect. Heh heh, letting you all suffer some losses are good too.\"


    Qin Shao received the token from Zhao Qin''s hands and directly entered the Sword Tomb without even giving a greeting.


    This guy was unbelievably proud!


    But to the Qin Family''s people, Ye Yuan did not have any good feelings too. He naturally had no interest in saying hello.


    Ye Yuan thanked Zhao Qin and directly entered the Sword Tomb.


    Upon entering the Sword Tomb, Ye Yuan''s gaze suddenly turned intent too.


    Entering his sight, it was all swords sprawled disorderly everywhere, too many to count!


    \"The name of Sword Tomb indeed lives up to its reputation!\" Ye Yuan praised.


    Ye Yuan had long inquired earlier. This Sword Tomb was the land of sword burial for Wu Meng Academy''s successive generations of sword-wielding experts. It contained boundless sword intent.


    He chose this place as the first stop because he wanted to make use of the boundless sword intent here in order to comprehend a Sword Dao belonging just to him!

 1376 Only Through Madness One Can Achieve Greatness

    What made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised was that Qin Shao did not enter the Sword Tomb.


    He seemed to be �� waiting for him.


    \"Ye Yuan, let''s have a match, how about it?\" Qin Shao said with his back to Ye Yuan.


    Qin Shao, this guy, was rather cold and rather proud. Him taking the initiative to open his mouth and speak made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised.


    But Ye Yuan felt that this Qin Shao did not seem to be the same type of people as the Qin Peiyu he encountered before.


    At least, he did not disgust him.


    At this moment, he sensed a thick fighting intent from Qin Shao''s body!


    Clearly, this top dog already viewed Ye Yuan as a formidable adversary.


    Ye Yuan took a step forward and stood side by side with Qin Shao and said, \"How to compete?\"


    \"In the Sword Tomb''s 18 levels, the deeper in, the more powerful the sword intent! Let''s compete and see who lasts longer in this first level region! If we both persist for one month, it''s considered a draw!\" Qin Shao said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Since it''s a bet, I wonder what the wager is?\"


    Qin Shao said, \"The loser will pay the winner the points to enter the Sword Tomb next time!\"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, \"Small gambling is entertaining, big gambling is harmful! Huhu, this idea is not bad.\"


    Qin Shao''s expression turned stiff, recalling the matter of Jia Chong and Ye Yuan betting, losing his entire fortune.


    This matter already became a laughing stock among their batch of students.


    Presumably, Jia Chong would have headaches because of points for a very long period of time.


    At that time, he also thought that Ye Yuan lost for sure. He did not expect that Ye Yuan casually charged to 18 scale lines.


    It was precisely because of this round that it made him have immense dread toward Ye Yuan.


    \"Go!\"


    Qin Shao leaped and directly entered the Sword Tomb.


    Ye Yuan was not slow either, following closely behind.


    Upon entering the Sword Tomb, it was as if entering another world!


    A world of swords!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Caught unprepared, Ye Yuan immediately had several holes opened up on his body.


    Countless chaotic sword law fragments flooded within this space.


    Qin Shao was not much better than Ye Yuan either. Although he was not immediately injured, he was kept busy too.


    \"What powerful sword laws! Every sword here probably has a story. In this place, they repel each other but formed an organic whole! This place is really a superb place to comprehend the sword!\" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Swish!


    Another sword law sliced past, nicking a cut on Ye Yuan''s face.


    On the other side, Qin Shao already brought out his sword, dancing airtight, and started clashing with those sword laws.


    Qin Shao''s strength was indeed powerful. It was only to see sword energy crisscrossed around him and was actually almost on par with these sword laws.


    \"Kid, if you still don''t draw your sword, you''ll be dismembered by a flurry of swords by these sword laws,\" Dustless warned.


    But Ye Yuan looked in Qin Shao''s direction as if deep in thought.


    \"Rejecting these sword laws outside the door, how to comprehend the sword? I want to �� test the swords with my body!\" Ye Yuan said.


    Dustless could not help choking when he heard that. He said, \"You lunatic!\"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, \"Only through madness one can achieve greatness!\"


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Those sword laws were not the slightest bit courteous, learning behind streaks of sword scars on Ye Yuan''s body.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art frenziedly, repairing those streaks of sword marks.


    Ye Yuan discovered that this was a violent world of swords.


    Comprehending swords here was different from comprehending cultivation methods and martial techniques.


    Each sword here, each sword law fragment, they were all the condensation of a martial artist''s lifelong painstaking effort.


    For Ye Yuan to want to learn the strengths of everyone and create a Sword Dao belonging to himself, he had to go and understand these laws of sword.


    Confronting these sword laws like Qin Shao, one would forever be unable to comprehend where the true meaning of these sword laws lay.


    Hence, he chose to test the swords with his body!


    Want to learn how to beat people, one had to first learn how to take a beating.


    It was this logic.


    Although the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art was strong, the sword laws here were too many and too strong. Ye Yuan''s expenditure would become greater and greater, and his wounds would also be deeper and deeper.


    Time passed day by day, Qin Shao''s consumption also became greater and greater, gradually falling short.


    I heard that the first time the previous season''s top dog entered the Sword Tomb, the result was 23 days. I''ve already persisted for 26 days. This result is already very good, right? Ye Yuan''s true combat power definitely can''t handle this, so he must have long failed to hold out already, right? Qin Shao thought.


    The sword laws here were too powerful. After it started, Qin Shao could not pay attention to Ye Yuan, devoting all his attention to dealing with them.


    Ye Yuan''s first round and third round''s performance in the test were very astonishing. But the second round was relatively ordinary.


    Hence, Qin Shao determined that Ye Yuan''s true combat strength should be poor.


    In a blink, Qin Shao persisted 26 days, already reaching the point where a lamp''s fire was dying and oil ran dry.


    Continuing to hold on, he would be dismembered by a flurry of swords.


    Qin Shao leaped and withdrew from the Sword Tomb.


    His figure had just steadied itself when his eyes suddenly turned intent!


    Ye Yuan was actually still in the Sword Tomb!


    Swish!


    A ray of sword energy directly hewed open a tear on Ye Yuan''s body, deep until bones could be seen!


    Ye Yuan''s body was long stained by fresh blood already.


    \"This guy, he �� How in the world did he do it? Could it be that these 26 days, he stalled it out like this?\" A look of disbelief revealed in Qin Shao''s gaze.


    He was very clear about these sword energies'' might. Even if it was him, if he was like Ye Yuan, he absolutely could not persist three days too.


    But Ye Yuan actually hung on for a full 26 days!


    \"This guy wouldn''t be doing it in order to win the points for entering the Sword Tomb next time, right? No, absolutely impossible!\"


    Qin Shao''s first reaction was that Ye Yuan was trying to win against him.


    But very soon, he denied this idea of Ye Yuan.


    Although he did not know much about Ye Yuan, he could feel that Ye Yuan absolutely would not do such a thing for the sake of this kind of lame reason.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan''s points were not few.


    Qin Shao''s expression was very ugly. He did not expect that he actually lost in such a way.


    \"Ye Yuan, you already won!\" Qin Shao said in a clear voice.


    However, Ye Yuan seemingly could not hear his words at all, and still forcefully held on.


    Qin Shao could sense that Ye Yuan was already an arrow at the end of its flight. But he could not figure out what the hell Ye Yuan was hanging in there for.


    Continuously enduring the swords like this, could it be that it was helpful towards cultivation?


    Qin Shao felt that apart from aggravating his injuries, there were no benefits at all!


    He did not leave right away but quietly watched Ye Yuan outside.


    He discovered that the speed Ye Yuan''s fleshy body recovered was very fast!


    Although this speed got slower and slower, Qin Shao could still sense it.


    Qin Shao knew that Ye Yuan relied on this skill to hold out until now.


    Ye Yuan doing so definitely has a deep meaning to it! This guy is really hard to fathom! It looks like I was too arrogant in the past! This Ye Yuan might very likely be my greatest opponent in the future! Qin Shao thought.


    On the 30th day, Ye Yuan dragged his injury-laden body and walked out of the Sword Tomb''s first level region.

 1377 Qin Tian

    \"Heh, what did I tell you guys? With your current strength, going in is equivalent to courting death. There won''t be any harvests at all.\"


    Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan, who was covered in injuries. His facial expression was filled with mockery.


    This kind of student who overestimated their own ability, he had seen plenty and did not have any sympathy.


    He already warned previously, so who was to blame for not listening to the warning?


    Qin Shao passed his academy token to Zhao Qin and said, \"Sword Tomb. Please help me deduct the points for entering the Sword Tomb once and write it on Ye Yuan''s token.\"


    In the academy, this kind of deduction method could be seen everywhere and did not have anything strange.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that one took the initiative to request.


    Zhao Qin froze and immediately could not help laughing as he said, \"Heh, you all are new and still don''t know how valuable points are living in the academy, right?\"


    Qin Shao gave Zhao Qin a glance and explained, \"I lost a bet to him. He persisted for a whole month in the Sword Tomb''s first level, this is the wager.\"


    With Qin Shao''s personality, he originally could not be bothered to explain.


    But no idea why, he still explained it unbeknownst to gods and ghosts.


    Hearing Qin Shao''s explanation, Zhao Qin got a shock. \"What? He �� He persisted like this for a month? Impossible!\"


    It was no wonder that Zhao Qin was surprised. With Ye Yuan''s bit of strength, persisting inside for a month, he would long have been dismembered by a flurry of swords. How could it be possible to come out alive?


    Many weak students all went in to challenge it, and then they came out to get treatment for a few days after being hurt by the sword energies.


    After their injuries healed, they would enter again, rinse and repeat like this.


    Zhao Qin thought that Ye Yuan receiving such heavy injuries, it must have been the case like the others, entering the Sword Tomb, leaving with injuries, entering again, and repeating the cycle. He thought this was God knows how many times Ye Yuan already attempted this.


    But Qin Shao said that Ye Yuan just kept on persisting inside for a month!


    Qin Shao was disdainful to explain too much. He had his pride and just said indifferently, \"Senior Apprentice Brother, please help me to deduct the points.\"


    \"Ah? O-Oh!\"


    Zhao Qin''s entire person was still in the midst of shock. Being told like this by Qin Shao, only then did he deduct Qin Shao''s 20 points and put it down on Ye Yuan''s token.


    Finishing with these, Qin Shao said to Ye Yuan, \"When is the next time you''re coming?\"


    Ye Yuan forced a smile and said, \"Why? Still want to compete?\"


    Qin Shao shook his head and said, \"There''s no point to compete again! Next time, I can definitely last 30 days! I just want to take a look at what on earth you''re trying to do.\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Uh �� If barring no accidents, half a month later!\"


    Qin Shao nodded his head and said, \"Okay, half a month later, I''ll come again!\"


    Qin Shao was just about to leave when a person came from head-on.


    Seeing the arrival, Qin Shao''s expression changed, and he bowed and said, \"I''ve seen Big Brother Qin Tian!\"


    Qin Tian''s expression was frosty, no joy nor sorrow on his face. Seeing Qin Shao greeted him, he nodded and said, \"Heard that you obtained the top dog position this time?\"


    Zhao Qin''s expression turned stiff, and he looked at Qin Shao in surprise. He did not think that this guy was actually the top dog this time!


    Since he was the top dog, Qin Shao''s strength could be imagined.


    But he actually lost to this middle-stage Grotto Profound?


    How was this possible?


    Zhao Qin suddenly discovered that his mind was somewhat in a mess.


    Qin Shao seemed to be rather fearful toward this Qin Tian and immediately said respectfully, \"Mn, not bad.\"


    Qin Tian nodded. He said, \"Work hard, and in the future, my Qin Family will definitely have a place for you!\"


    \"Yes, Big Brother Qin Tian. Younger Brother will definitely work hard!\" Qin Shao replied.


    Then Qin Tian''s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan at this time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, \"Stay further away from that punk. He''s a dead man sooner or later!\"


    These words that Qin Tian suddenly said made everyone stunned.


    Qin Shao''s expression was very confused, uncertain what in the world happened.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell; a cold light flashed in his eyes too.


    Very clearly, this Qin Tian meant the incident at the Clearwind Inn that day.


    It was just that this Qin Tian was too crazy, simply looking down on everything!


    In his eyes, he already sentenced Ye Yuan to death.


    Qin Tian had no intention of explaining. Handing the academy token to Zhao Qin, he said, \"The 11th level, 5 times!\"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent again. He did not expect that Qin Tian''s strength was actually so strong!


    Those able to make it to the 11th level were basically all that strongest batch in the academy!


    Zhao Qin hurriedly helped Qin Tian swipe the token, then handed it back respectfully, thickened his face, and said, \"Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian, it''s already done!\"


    Qin Tian nodded slightly, received the token, and directly entered the Sword Tomb.


    Only then did Qin Shao come to his senses, but he discovered that Ye Yuan already dragged his heavily wounded body and left step by step.


    His brows furrowed together, unable to figure out how Ye Yuan provoked Big Brother Qin Tian.


    But being eyed by Big Brother Qin Tian, Ye Yuan most likely could not escape this calamity.


    In Qin Shao''s eyes, he was already matchless among peers.


    It was true that Jia Chong''s strength was strong, but Qin Shao''s disparity with Jia Chong would only grow wider and wider!


    But the feeling that Ye Yuan gave him was completely different. He had a feeling that Ye Yuan was bound to be a formidable foe of his in the future.


    He needed such a powerful adversary!


    Finally, Qin Shao sighed and slowly left.


    Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan''s departing back view rather sympathetically and shook his head and said, \"This kid seems to be rather extraordinary. It''s too bad that �� he provoked Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian!\"


    ...


    \"Goodness me, my ancestor, how did you get injured like this? Who did this? Your brother, I, will help you to take revenge!\"


    Upon seeing Ye Yuan, Xie Jingyi''s entire person jumped up.


    Ye Yuan said feebly, \"Enough crap. Quickly help me in!\"


    Xie Jingyi hurriedly went up and helped Ye Yuan into the residence.


    After returning to the residence, Ye Yuan swallowed two divine-grade medicinal pills before his injuries were gradually brought under control.


    But the injuries this time were indeed rather heavy. Without eight to ten days, he could forget about recovering.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s condition turned a little better, Xie Jingyi said, \"I say, it''s only been a few days of not seeing you. So how did you end up like this?\"


    Ye Yuan said huffily, \"Cultivating in the Sword Tomb. Didn''t I tell you?\"


    Xie Jingyi''s neck involuntarily shrunk, and he said in surprise, \"No way, right? Your way of cultivation is too dangerous! How is this cultivation? This is totally playing with life! Lord Fatty, I, still want to live a few days more. Better don''t go.\"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with this guy and asked, \"Ask you about something. Do you know who Qin Tian is? Uh �� He should be a Qin Family''s person.\"


    Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look and said, \"No way, right? You actually don''t even know who Qin Tian is?\"


    Ye Yuan said with a curious look, \"Is he very famous? Why must I know him?\"


    Xie Jingyi looked at Ye Yuan as if he was looking at an alien and said, \"More than just famous! It''s too famous, very famous! In the entire Wu Meng Capital City, virtually no one doesn''t know him, okay?!\"


    Ye Yuan''s brows creased, discovering that he seemed to have been eyed by some remarkable guy.


    Xie Jingyi continued explaining, \"Back then, Qin Tian was only 30 years old. Being just at the middle-stage Grotto Profound Realm, he obtained that session''s top dog! 150 years old, he already passed the personal disciple test, and became City Lord''s personal disciple! Now, virtually all of Wu Meng Capital City''s people feel that he can become the first powerhouse to break through to the Divine Lord Realm in 100 thousand years! Do you think he''s famous or not?\"

 1378 That Masochist in the First Level

    Wu Meng Capital City already did not have Divine Lord Realm powerhouses appearing for over 100 thousand years.


    Qin Tian was the one with the greatest likelihood.


    \"No wonder someone as proud as Qin Shao would be so respectful toward this big brother too!\"


    In Ye Yuan''s impression, Qin Shao was a very prideful person.


    Such a person, even if that person was his big brother, he absolutely would not behave so humbly too.


    It turned out that Qin Tian actually had such high status in Wu Meng Capital City.


    \"Why, you saw Qin Tian? Quickly tell me, he''s my idol!\" Xie Jingyi said excitedly.


    Qin Tian was not just Xie Jingyi''s idol, he was also Wu Meng Capital City''s countless young talents'' idol!


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, \"I''ve seen him, but this encounter wasn''t pleasant.\"


    Xie Jingyi''s expression changed, and he said, \"No way, right? How did you provoke Qin Tian?\"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, \"Not that I provoked him, it was him who provoked me.\"


    He recounted the situation of meeting Qin Tian today as well as the incident of slapping Qin Peiyu back then. Xie Jingyi''s expression became increasingly uglier.


    He let out a long sigh and said, \"Oh you, you were also too eager! I know that lass. She''s Qin Tian''s biological sister. In Wu Meng Capital City, no one dares to provoke, so what did you provoke her for?\"


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, \"Why? Are you regretting walking together with me now? You can still make it if you draw a clear line with me right now.\"


    The moment Xie Jingyi heard these words, he immediately jumped out and shouted, \"Ye Yuan, what do you take me, Xie Jingyi, as? I, Xie Jingyi, am a person who repays debts of gratitude! You''re my brother, so your enemy is my enemy! Starting from today, I, Xie Jingyi, am irreconcilable with the Qin Family!\"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, \"Huhu, cracking a joke, so agitated for what? It hasn''t reached the point of a life-and-death struggle!\"


    Only seeing Ye Yuan like so did Xie Jingyi''s expression become a little better. He said unhappily, \"Although I, Xie Jingyi, am somewhat not serious, I never make this kind of joke!\"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, \"Haha, got it. I was wrong, okay? But you have got to work hard on cultivating too. Jia Chong isn''t to be trifled with. If you don''t have some capability, you''ll be screwed very badly by him in the future!\"


    The moment this ''joke'' was made, the atmosphere appeared rather awkward.


    The two people chatted for a while more, and Xie Jingyi took his leave.


    \"You did it on purpose?\" The moment Xie Jingyi left, Dustless''s voice sounded out.


    \"Mn, I understand too little about him and don''t have a life-and-death relationship. Placing such a person by my side is equivalent to installing a ticking time bomb.\" Ye Yuan admitted it very shamelessly.


    Although he helped Xie Jingyi before, his relationship with Xie Jingyi was very shallow.


    During the test, he only felt that this little fatty was rather interesting and also very kind-looking, that was why he would make a move to help.


    As for very deep friendship, there wasn''t any in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    In his previous life, Ji Canglan''s betrayal made Ye Yuan especially careful when making friends.


    Unless it was like Luo Jian, with a life-and-death relationship with Ye Yuan, then he would lay his heart bare to the other party.


    Since Xie Jingyi expressed good feelings toward the Qin Family, Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to put a time bomb by his side.


    \"Mn, we may know a man''s exterior, but not his heart! You doing so is not wrong either!\" Dustless said.


    ...


    Half a month later, Ye Yuan showed up in the Sword Tomb once more.


    What surprised him was that Qin Shao still came.


    Ye Yuan lightly swept him a glance and directly entered the Sword Tomb.


    Qin Tian''s attitude already ascertained that he and Qin Shao could only be enemies!


    In the Sword Tomb''s first level, Ye Yuan continued his masochistic cultivation.


    Qin Shao''s brows furrowed slightly. After looking for a while, he entered too.


    This time, Qin Shao''s strength was clearly more than a level stronger than the last time!


    Facing the all-pervasive Sword Dao laws, Qin Shao dealt with them much easier.


    For 30 days'' time, he held on effortlessly.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan was covered all over with wounds and scars by Sword Dao laws once again.


    When Ye Yuan returned this time, Little Fatty Xie Jingyi indeed did not come over to see him.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan just dismissed it with a smile.


    Ever since then, inside the Sword Tomb''s first level, there was an additional masochistic lunatic.


    Every time he came out of the Sword Tomb, he was dripping with fresh blood.


    In a blink, a year''s time almost passed,


    During this time, a major incident happened in the Sword Tomb!


    \"Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian cleared the 11th level! My God! How many years has it been since someone cleared the 11th level in the Wu Meng Academy?\"


    \"The last one to clear the 11th level is still Senior Zhuang Hao, right? Heh, he was the previous powerhouse who broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!\"


    \"Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm is a sure bet!\"


    \"Yeah, the things that happened for so many years, not one did not foreshadow that he''s going to step into the Divine Lord Realm!\"


    ...


    At this time, the lobby outside the Sword Tomb was already packed with people.


    From the lobby''s light screen, they could clearly see everything that happened in the Sword Tomb.


    Ye Yuan did not have an accurate understanding of the Sword Tomb''s 11th level. Those able to make it to the 11th level were all geniuses among geniuses!


    After Qin Tian, there was a large batch of people at the 10th level.


    But the 11th level only had three people!


    Now, Qin Tian made it past the 11th level and entered the 12th level. He already shook the rest far behind him!


    More importantly, it had already been 100 thousand years since anyone cleared the 11th level!


    Zhuang Hao''s final result was the 13th level. Qin Tian was already very close to this level.


    At this instant, Qin Tian became the god in everyone''s hearts and eyes.


    \"Eh, Zhao Qin, who''s that kid, so pitiful!\"


    Suddenly, someone noticed the Ye Yuan who was currently getting abused in the first level and asked Zhao Qin.


    Zhao Qin gave a look. Discovering that it was Ye Yuan, his face revealed a disdainful smile and said, \"Him? Just a fool! Already soaked in the first level for a year. Each time he comes, he''s abused brutally, without any improvement at all. This season''s top dog, Qin Shao, who came in together with him, had long entered the second level half a year ago.\"


    \"Dear me, this is also too wretched! Being hit by so much sword energy and actually still not dead, it''s also considered a kind of ability,\" said the person.


    Zhao Qin smiled and said, \"Haha, true! I suspect that he''s training a masochistic skill. This guy, it''s really not easy if you want to kill him!\"


    Zhao Qin''s words made everyone roar with laughter.


    Suddenly, someone gave a shout, \"Eh, you guys, look! What is that kid doing?\"


    Everyone looked and discovered that Ye Yuan actually sat down, and casually pulled up a sword that was buried straight in the ground, muttering something under his breath.


    This scene made everyone in the lobby quieten down, their eyes showing disbelief.


    \"He �� How did he do it?\"


    \"Why �� Why didn''t those swords react?\"


    \"Is my eyesight failing? There''s actually someone who touched a sword and can still stand there safe and sound?\"


    ...


    At the Sword Tomb''s first level, Ye Yuan lightly caressed the sword. He said with vicissitudes of emotion, \"I know that you all have unwillingness in your hearts, and that''s why you would bury your swords here. You all rest assured. I, Ye Yuan, will bring your thoughts and seek the Great Dao!\"

 1379 Made Friends

    \"What''s happening?\"


    In the crowd, an authoritative voice suddenly sounded out.


    Everyone gave a sidelong glance. It was actually Qin Tian!


    They were all shocked by Ye Yuan but did not realize that the Qin Tian, who had just completed a grand feat already exited the Sword Tomb who knows when.


    When he successfully cleared the 11th level, he knew that the entire academy would be shocked because of it.


    However, Qin Tian was already used to this kind of surprise and astonishment long ago.


    To a true genius, enjoying these was natural and right.


    It was just that after he came out, he discovered that things were not as he expected.


    Everyone was indeed in shock, but the way of shock was somewhat different.


    Logically speaking, he was everyone''s focal point. When he came out, everyone should immediately react to it, then shout and jump with jubilant cheers, with all kinds of felicitations.


    But after he came out, he discovered that not a single person was paying attention to him.


    \"Ah? It''s Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian! Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian, you look at that guy on the light screen.\"


    Qin Tian''s brows furrowed, looking towards the light screen rather curiously.


    He was very curious about what thing could overshadow the light of him clearing the 11th level.


    Qin Tian was not someone who fished for fame. It was just that he was used to the light halo of the main character and used to being marveled at by everyone.


    Now, these exclamations were gone, he was not quite used to it, and it was not very �� comfortable.


    When Ye Yuan''s figure came into his view, Qin Tian''s gaze suddenly turned intent!


    \"How long has it been?\" Qin Tian said solemnly.


    Zhao Qin said cautiously, \"Already been an hour! Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian, this �� what to do here?\"


    \"What else can you do? Report to the academy and invite a teacher over! Ye Yuan wrecked the Sword Tomb and should be punished for this crime!\" Qin Tian said solemnly.


    Zhao Qin gave an ''ah'' and hurriedly said, \"I �� I''ll invite Teacher Fan over right now!\"


    Finished talking, Zhao Qin took out a talisman and directly transmitted the sudden turn of events here over.


    In Wu Meng Academy, any sword in the Sword Tomb could not be pulled out. Otherwise, the consequences would be very severe!


    As long as someone pulled out a sword, all of the swords in the entire level would unleash an attack at him.


    This attack was on a completely different level from those law fragment attacks!


    Even with Qin Tian''s present strength, after pulling out a sword in the first level, it''s also certain death!


    In Wu Meng Academy''s history, there were quite a number of people who pulled out a sword in the heat of the moment, but no one was able to survive.


    And wanting to succeed in clearing the round, one had to burst past the blockade of a hundred flying swords.


    Therefore, that was why Ye Yuan''s actions would arouse such a huge reaction, resulting in everyone throwing the matter of Qin Tian clearing the 11th round to the back of their minds.


    If it were someone else, Qin Tian would not be to the extent of being so furious either.


    But that person was Ye Yuan, a person already sentenced to death by him.


    Before long, Teacher Fan came to the Sword Tomb.


    Seeing Ye Yuan on the Light screen, his expression could not help changing, and he said, \"How did he do it? Could it be that �� something went wrong with the Sword Tomb''s first level?\"


    Qin Tian went forward and said, \"Teacher Fan, it''s said that this Sword Tomb has already existed for as long as a million years. This kind of abnormality has never appeared before. Currently, Ye Yuan probably ruined the Sword Tomb''s first level''s order with some kind of method. That''s why it would be like this!\"


    Teacher Fan nodded and said, \"What Qin Tian said makes sense. I''ll go in and take a look at the situation first. If he really wrecked the first level''s order, I''ll definitely behead without mercy!\"


    Finished talking, Teacher Fan turned right around and entered the Sword Tomb''s first level.


    \"You''re called Ye Yuan? What in the world did you do? To make this first level''s sword all lose control?\" Teacher Fan questioned.


    However, Ye Yuan seemingly did not hear it at all and was still minding himself and saying things to the sword in his hand.


    Just like �� old friends of many years.


    Teacher Fan''s face fell, and he gave a cold snort. His figure moved and swept into the Sword Tomb.


    However, right at the instant, his body just entered the boundary of the Sword Tomb, all of the first level''s swords emitted a series of light humming!


    Hum ��


    All of the swords were trembling incessantly, about to pull out of the ground!


    In virtually an instant, Teacher Fan''s expression changed drastically. A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.


    Clank, clank ��


    All of the swords pulled out of the ground and charged over toward Teacher Fan.


    Teacher Fan was an Origin Deity powerhouse, and his strength was formidable. Seeing that he could not withdraw in time, a powerful surge of aura gushed out and welcomed those long swords.


    Boom!


    An enormous boom, Teacher Fan''s figure retreated out of the sword burial ground''s radius stumblingly.


    Repelling Teacher Fan, countless long swords danced in the air for a moment, and then all returned to their original places.


    Teacher Fan had a look of alarm. Regarding that scene just now, he still had lingering fear in his heart. His gaze looked toward Ye Yuan, his eyes full of disbelief.


    These swords did not lose control!


    Just now, if he went in a little deeper, it probably would not be that easy to come out.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly oblivious to the events that happened just now and still mumbled to himself. It was as if he was possessed.


    In the lobby, a commotion burst out long ago.


    \"The first level''s swords did not lose control! Teacher Fan nearly succumbed too!\"


    \"My God, what in the world is going on? How can that kid be safe and sound inside?\"


    \"Why do I feel that those swords are all controlled by that kid?\"


    \"This �� This isn''t possible, right?\"


    ...


    Qin Tian looked at the light screen. His usually expressionless face had a rare display of a startled look.


    His feeling was the same as those guys, like �� Ye Yuan controlled all of the swords in the first level!


    How in the world did this guy do it?! Qin Tian was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    These several hundred years, as long as he had spare time, he would come to the Sword Tomb to comprehend the sword.


    However, he had never thought that one could control all of the first level''s swords!


    These swords were all left behind by Wu Meng Academy''s predecessors. Among them, some people''s strengths later on were unimaginable.


    All of the swords'' power added together was not what an individual''s strength could resist at all.


    But Ye Yuan actually controlled all of the swords!


    No idea since when, Qin Shao was already among the crowd. He finally understood just what Ye Yuan''s one year of crazed abuse was for.


    He was comprehending the sword!


    Except, this comprehension ability �� was a little too fearsome, right?


    Just as everyone was shocked, Ye Yuan slowly got up, stuck that sword in his hand back in place, and walked out of the Sword Tomb.


    Seeing Teacher Fan, Ye Yuan could not help being stupefied and said with a bow, \"Disciple Ye Yuan has seen Teacher.\"


    Teacher Fan''s expression was very odd. Ye Yuan also detected his peculiarity and was somewhat uncertain what it meant.


    \"Ye Yuan? You �� What in the world did you do just now?\" Teacher Fan said with an ugly expression.


    Ye Yuan froze when he heard that and said, \"Do what? Didn''t teacher saw it too? I was comprehending the sword.\"


    \"Comprehending the sword? Ye Yuan, don''t act dumb anymore! You pulled out a sword just now!\" Teacher Fan said unhappily.


    \"Pulled out a sword? Yeah, I pulled out a sword earlier. Why, could it be that the swords inside the Sword Tomb �� can''t be pulled?\" Ye Yuan said with a guileless look. He really did not know.


    Teacher Fan could not help choking up and said solemnly, \"Those who pull a sword are bound to be attacked by all of the swords. Nobody has been able to survive! But why didn''t these swords attack you?\"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, \"Maybe �� it''s because I made friends with them?\"

 1380 Mad Little Fatty.

    Hearing it sounded very perfunctory, but what Ye Yuan said was the truth.


    Teacher Fan naturally did not believe. It was just that when he entered the first level once more to investigate, he did not find anything either. Everything was normal.


    Although it felt very inconceivable, this matter could only be concluded without a conclusion.


    Ye Yuan carried on with his life. Resting for roughly ten days or so, Ye Yuan planned on entering the Sword Tomb once more after that.


    When he just stepped out of the door, Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that the academy was bubbling with excitement. Everyone was running out of the academy.


    \"Heh, I really didn''t expect it. There''s actually still someone who dares to stroke the Qin Family''s whiskers in this Wu Meng Capital City. Is he tired of living?\"


    \"Kidnapping Qin Peiyu that demoness, to think this guy can really think of that! How great an enmity does this punk have with the Qin Family? If he kidnapped, then kidnapped. But to actually still want to drag her to Wu Meng Plaza to hang up and bet. Isn''t it offending the Qin Family to the bitter end?\"


    \"Oh, right, what''s that punk called? Seems to be this season''s newbie, right?\"


    \"Mn, they say he''s called Xie Jingyi. A grown man actually has such a girly name, hahaha ��\"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s footsteps abruptly stopped, his scalp tingling.


    One year plus went by in a twinkle. Ye Yuan devoted his heart and soul into comprehending Sword Dao laws and virtually already forgot this name.


    But now, this name entered his life once again, but it was in such a manner.


    What the hell did this little fatty do?


    Ye Yuan understood very quickly, he was doing it for him to see!


    This guy �� wanted to express his true feelings to Ye Yuanthrough this matter, proving that he and Ye Yuan were standing on the same thread!


    It was just that this way of doing things was a little too overboard, right?


    Smacking the Qin Family''s face in front of everyone in the city, this was simply courting death!


    This aggro point was absolutely maxed out!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to dawdle. His figure could be seen speeding swiftly, heading outside the academy.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan thought about a lot.


    In this one year plus, Little Fatty probably did nothing at all and put all his energy into tracking Qin Peiyu.


    With the Qin Family''s strength, after Ye Yuan slapped Qin Peiyu into a pig''s head last time, the Qin Family would definitely send an even stronger guard to protect her.


    Little Fatty''s strength was not high. Wanting to kidnap Qin Peiyu under the Qin Family''s house guards'' eyelids, this difficulty could be imagined.


    He did not expect that he actually succeeded!


    Ye Yuan was somewhat self-reproaching at this time. Back then, he made wild conjectures. He did not expect that it pushed Little Fatty to such a perilous position.


    Furthermore, after Little Fatty kidnapped Qin Peiyu, he did not take care of her in private but kidnapped her to the Wu Meng Plaza. This was having completely no leeway with the Qin Family anymore!


    The reason why Little Fatty did this was probably afraid that Ye Yuan still could not set his mind at ease, thinking that he and the Qin Family were intentionally acting out a show for Ye Yuan to see.


    Stirring the matter up so big was intentional on Little Fatty''s part.


    It was to not save himself a path of retreat.


    Ye Yuan really did not know what to say. Little Fatty had a profligate juvenile appearance all day long, but when doing things, he was as timid as a mouse.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually had such a staunch and moral side in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s figure was like lightning, speeding in the direction of the Wu Meng Plaza.


    This matter caused a stir in the entire city. On the streets were all traffic flow heading in that direction.


    In Ye Yuan''s impatience, he chose some small alleys to pass through.


    Suddenly, a figure flashed out ahead, blocking Ye Yuan''s path.


    \"Ye Yuan, you didn''t expect it, right? I''ve already waited very long for this day! I even thought that you can hide in the academy all your life!\" Jia Chong said with a cold smile.


    He kept staring at Ye Yuan''s movements. When Ye Yuan went out of the academy, he immediately caught up.


    Private fights were forbidden in Wu Meng Academy, prohibiting students from killing each other. But this rule was only limited to within the academy.


    Leaving the academy, life and death were one''s own responsibility.


    Ever since the entrance examination, Jia Chong''s days have been arduous.


    The zero points him found it hard to take a single step in the academy.


    Clearing challenges required expending points. But he did not even have one point.


    Challenging others, others were not fools either and would not accept the challenge.


    In this one year, Jia Chong virtually spent it in the midst of performing missions.


    Doing missions needed time and energy. With his realm and strength, he could not accept any high difficulty missions at all.


    Accumulating for a year''s time, Jia Chong finally amassed 60 to 70 points.


    This one year plus could virtually be said to be wasted.


    Looking at Su Yuecang, Xiang Zhuang, those people, all caught up from behind. He was really burning with anxiety.


    All this was all thanks to Ye Yuan!


    Hence, he had always been paying attention to Ye Yuan''s movements. Today, he finally got the chance.


    Seeing Jia Chong, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, \"If you don''t wish to seek death, scram!\"


    Jia Chong was tickled the moment he heard and said mockingly, \"Your bit of strength also dare to be arrogant in front of me? Do you think that today is still taking the test? Right now, are you in a hurry to go and save that damn fatty? Heh heh, don''t need to go anymore. He dared to provoke the Qin Family, so he''s dead for sure! And you, Ye Yuan, the humiliation that you brought to me, I''m going to claim it back with interest today! You''ll likewise die without a doubt today! You and that damn fatty can have company on the road to hell!\"


    Ye Yuan was worried about Little Fatty and nervous with worry in the first place. Yet, this Jia Chong ran over to slam onto the spearhead.


    He smiled coldly and said, \"Fool! You don''t even understand your enemy and dare to run over to kill people? Since you''re seeking death yourself, then I don''t mind sending you off too!\"


    Jia Chong''s expression changed. Suddenly, a gust of Yin wind blew past. He had not drawn his sword yet, and his entire person was frozen.


    Gui Yun''s figure appeared before his eyes. Jia Chong''s eyes stared at Gui Yun like wide-saucers.


    Jia Chong never thought that a late-stage Two-star evil spirit actually followed by Ye Yuan''s side!


    He suddenly felt that he was simply foolish to the extreme. It was really as Ye Yuan said, he did not even figure out how many trump cards his enemy had and came over to kill people without due consideration.


    If this was not dumb, what was it then?


    But right at this time, a terrifying aura descended from the sky!


    Gui Yun''s expression changed, his figure retreating explosively.


    Two figures flashed out and blocked in front of Jia Chong.


    \"Ye Yuan, he doesn''t know your ins and outs, but I know! So this time, I invited a helper over!\"


    The one talking was none other than precisely Ye Yuan''s sworn enemy Wang Song!


    By his side, he even brought along a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse!


    \"You''re Ye Yuan? I''ve already prepared for a full year in order to wait for you! Today, I can finally complete the mission!\" said that grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse.


    Ever since that time, Qin Nantian sent a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse for Wang Song''s dispatch.


    The objective was naturally in order to finish off Ye Yuan!


    With him dealing with Gui Yun, Ye Yuan was dead beyond a doubt!


    When Jia Chong saw this, he could not resist laughing and said, \"Hahaha, Ye Yuan, the people that you offended are really not few! You, this kind of person, even if I don''t kill you, you''re hard-pressed to escape the calamity too!\"


    Ye Yuan looked at Jia Chong as if looking at a fool and said with a cold sneer, \"Fool! The people that I offended are quite a few, but my friends are not few either! Just the likes of a fool like you also wish to kill me?\"


    Ye Yuan suddenly shouted, \"Come on out! Could it be that you''ll only come out after I''m killed by them?\"

 1381 Counting Charges in Detail

    In a blind angle of the alley, a figure slowly appeared.


    This was a middle-aged man, his bearing extraordinary. It was clear that he was an expert at a glance.


    Ye Yuan did not recognize him either. But this person had been following close to him all along, starting from when he entered the Wu Meng Academy.


    This person did not have ill-intentions. Ye Yuan guessed that the other party might have been sent by the Myriad Treasure Tower to protect him.


    When Wang Song saw this middle-aged man, his expression could not help changing drastically!


    \"T-Teacher Chi! Why �� Why are you here?\"


    Wang Song never thought that the Myriad Treasure Tower would actually deploy an Origin Deity powerhouse to come and protect Ye Yuan!


    Just what origins did this Ye Yuan have?


    The middle-aged man came to Ye Yuan''s side and gave a self-introduction, \"I''m called Chi Fang, a teacher of the academy. But I''m very surprised you could actually discover my existence. When did you discover it?\"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, \"Right from the start.\"


    Chi Fang concealed himself very well, but how could he hide from Dustless''s eyes and ears?


    Chi Fang''s expression turned stiff when he heard that. He was confident that he concealed his being very well, so he did not think that Ye Yuan had long discovered him.


    Now, he finally had some understanding of why Tower Lord made him come and protect Ye Yuan.


    \"Alright, leave them to me, you go,\" Chi Fang said coolly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, \"Many thanks! I''ll also request Teacher Chi to inform Tower Lord, ask him to come forward and mediate this matter. Just say that �� this Ye owes him a favor.\"


    Chi Fang''s gaze turned intent, and he said with a nod, \"You can rest assured, I''ll definitely pass on the message.\"


    Wu Meng Academy was naturally the city lord''s Wu Meng Academy. But it was naturally impossible for the city lord to manage the academy and the capital city by himself.


    Therefore, the city lord also had many things that needed to rely on these major families.


    Among them, also included the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was an outside force, this force could not be underestimated either.


    In this Wu Meng Academy, there was naturally the Myriad Treasure Tower''s share too.


    \"Get lost!\" Ye Yuan came in front of Wang Song and said in a cold voice.


    This bunch of trash already delayed a lot of his time. He was very annoyed.


    Wang Song''s expression flickered incessantly. He finally managed to seize this opportunity, did not expect that it was actually this result.


    \"Mn? Could it be that you still want me to personally take action?\"


    Chi Fang''s voice turned grim. The pressure of an Origin Deity Realm instantly spread out, crushing everyone until they could not catch their breath.


    Especially Jia Chong, because he was only at the Grotto Profound Realm. How could he withstand such pressure? He actually knelt down with a thud.


    He was currently facing Ye Yuan, looking just like he was kneeling down to Ye Yuan.


    Although extremely unwilling, Wang Song still moved half a position away.


    Ye Yuan did not have time to be long-winded with them. His figure moved, directly speeding away.


    The moment Ye Yuan left, Chi Fang''s cultivation realm oppression instantly dissipated into nothing.


    Wang Song''s face fell, and he said, \"Teacher Chi, it''s �� against the rules for you to be like this. I will report this matter to Uncle Qin!\"


    Chi Fang said coolly, \"By all means! But �� you should also be grateful that I have this identity of the academy''s teacher. Otherwise, you''d already been dead now!\"


    Wang Song''s expression turned fearful. Chi Fang''s figure moved and disappeared.


    The dignity of an Origin Deity powerhouse could not be profaned.


    Just based on Wang Song''s this one sentence, Chi Fang already had sufficient reason to kill him.


    Although Wang Song was considered half of the Qin Family''s son-in-law, killing such a person with Chi Fang''s identity, it could not stir up much of a wave either.


    However, Chi Fang was still a teacher at the academy. If he made a move against his own student, it would be hard to explain.


    At that time, who he offended would not just be the Qin Family, but Wu Meng City Lord!


    ...


    Wu Meng plaza was the largest plaza in Wu Meng Capital City. Currently, it was surrounded until water could not seep through.


    There was a high platform in the middle of the plaza. The two figures on the platform were very conspicuous.


    Ye Yuan divided the crowd and finally managed to squeeze to the front.


    Not seeing for a year, Little Fatty seemed to have become fatter.


    But currently, Little Fatty was dressed in ragged clothing, looking like a beggar.


    On his face and body, whip marks were distinct and clear, deep until the flesh was visible!


    But Xie Jingyi did not mind at all, as he said in a clear voice, \"I believe everyone isn''t a stranger to this whore. She''s the Qin Family''s young lady, Qin Peiyu, known as demoness! The sins that she has committed doesn''t need me to say, I believe everyone would also have heard of it, or even experienced it personally before! Everyone is afraid of her identity and doesn''t dare to do anything to her. But Lord Fatty, I, don''t believe in heresy. Lord Fatty, I, am going to carry out justice on heaven''s behalf today!\"


    \"Alright!\"


    Xie Jingyi''s words immediately incurred an earth-shaking response.


    Qin Nantian spoiled this daughter terribly, resulting in her becoming infamous as a tyrant in the entire capital city.


    It was just that everyone normally dared to get angry, but no one dared to speak.


    Now, with someone bearing the brunt of the attack, their constantly suppressed emotions immediately erupted.


    Slap! Slap! Slap!


    Xie Jingyi directly gave a few slaps, arousing a series of applause once more.


    Qin Peiyu''s eyes were spitting fire, and she said in extreme rage, \"Damn fatty, you �� you''re dead for sure! The things that you''ve done to this young lady today, I''ll definitely repay it a hundred-fold to you!\"


    Xie Jingyi looked at her with a smirk and did not say anything. Reaching his hand out, it was another few slaps.


    \"Speak, what else is there, say it all!\" Xie Jingyi said with a laugh.


    With this, Qin Peiyu completely lost her wits to show any temper. She did not dare to say any more harsh words and could only glare at Xie Jingyi.


    \"Heh, that''s more like it!\"


    Xie Jingyi laughed lightly, turned around, and said to the plaza in a clear voice, \"50 years ago, this whore was eight years old! She snatched the foot in the hands of a child surnamed Rong on the streets and got into a conflict with the child, and made people exterminate the entire Rong Family!\"


    Slap! Slap! Slap!


    Finished talking, Xie Jingyi casually gave a few slaps. Qin Peiyu''s pretty face swelled up very quickly.


    \"47 years ago, this whore gave free rein to her horse on Elegant Water Street and trampled a little girl under three years old to death!\"


    Slap! Slap! Slap!


    Finished talking, he flung his hand, and it was another few slaps!


    ...


    Just like this, Xie Jingyi carefully detailed Qin Peiyu''s these few years of crimes that had utter disregard for human life one by one.


    Each time he said finish one, he would throw a few slaps.


    Very soon, Qin Peiyu was slapped into a pig''s head once more!


    At the start, everyone was still hooting and cheering.


    But later on, the expressions on their faces all became rage!


    The crimes that this demoness committed were simply too numerous to be recorded.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked when he heard. At the start, he only thought that this little girl was unruly and willful. He did not expect that Qin Peiyu, such a young girl, was actually cruel and cold-hearted to this extent!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan also viewed Xie Jingyi in a different light.


    This little fatty normally looked very frivolous when doing things. Did not expect that once he took something seriously, he actually did it so beautifully and meticulously!


    This one year''s time, Little Fatty practically dug this Qin Peiyu inside out.


    Ye Yuan originally thought that Little Fatty was just acting on impulse. Did not expect that his preparations were actually so ample.


    This play today looked reckless, but in reality, it was somewhat refined in its crude ways.


    He made the commotion blow up so big, attracting the attention of everyone in the city. Then listed Qin Peiyu''s crimes one by one for everyone to hear. Not only did this make the Qin Family cautious in taking action for fear of damages and not dare to act rashly without careful thought, it even occupied the commanding ground on morals!


    Even if the Qin Family wanted to make trouble, they also did not dare to talk about Little Fatty''s fault in front of so many people''s faces!

 1382 Stepping Forward Bravely!

    \"Kill her!\"


    \"Kill her!\"


    \"Execute justice on heaven''s behalf!\"


    \"Rid the people of a scourge!\"


    ...


    For a moment, sentiments ran high.


    Although the strong reigned supreme in the martial arts world, it did not mean that there were no constraints of ethics and morality.


    Especially to a large family clan like the Qin Family, they could do many nasty things in private but did not dare to put it on the table.


    This slapping of Little Fatty''s today was really done too viciously!


    However, Ye Yuan was rather uneasy in his heart.


    The Qin Family was too quiet!


    Little Fatty caused trouble for the greater part of a day, the Qin Family actually did not have one person come forward to refute.


    This indicated that the Qin Family was definitely brewing some big moves.


    Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the crowd and directly landed on the platform.


    Xie Jingyi was startled and hurriedly clutched Qin Peiyu''s life-gate acupoint, protecting his whole body[1].


    He knew that his strength was lacking, his only reliance was Qin Peiyu.


    But, when he saw the arrival clearly, his expression could not help changing drastically as he exclaimed, \"Third Uncle! You �� Why did you come?\"


    \"Third Uncle?\"


    Seeing that middle-aged man dressed in military attire, Ye Yuan had a foreboding premonition in his heart.


    Most likely, the Qin Family''s back-up plan had arrived!


    The middle-aged man''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, \"If I still don''t come, you''ll even poke a hole in the sky! Brat, you''ve really become capable!\"


    Xie Jingyi''s brows furrowed, and he said, \"Third Uncle, I didn''t poke a hole in the sky! Me doing so is just because I couldn''t bear the sight of this girl''s actions. It has nothing to do with the family!\"


    The middle-aged man gave a cold snort and said, \"Tell me, you deliberately ruined the Qin Family''s reputation and framed our Xie Family as being disloyal. Just who was it instigated by?\"


    Xie Jingyi''s expression changed slightly, and he said, \"Does the Qin Family''s reputation still need me to go and ruin? Heaven can uphold justice, this whore''s actions and conduct, dying a hundred times isn''t even sufficient!\"


    The middle-aged man''s face fell, and he said, \"Is that so? Then I ask you, you said this whole bunch, is there proof?\"


    Xie Jingyi''s face turned stiff. The Qin Family''s people did things very cleanly. He really did not catch much evidence.


    The things that Qin Peiyu did, he had inquired about them.


    The middle-aged man laughed coldly and said, \"If you''re out to condemn someone, you can always trump up a charge! Qin Peiyu this lass is a little unruly and willful, but that''s also just the temperament of a young lady! Pray tell, among this capital city''s large families, which family''s missus isn''t unruly or willful? You put so many crimes onto a little girl, how can you bear it?\"


    Brilliant Peace City was one of the top major counties of Wu Meng Capital City. The Xie Family was a large family clan of Brilliant Peace City, their strength second only to the Jia Family.


    Such a large family, there were naturally quite a number of people holding appointments in the capital city.


    This middle-aged man was Xie Jingyi''s third uncle, Xie Zhaoyun. Presently, he was a high-level commander of the city guards, his strength uncommon.


    With his status, coming forward to question his own nephew would not be more appropriate.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that the Qin Family actually pulled out this major killing tool. Little Fatty was probably going to be overwhelmed.


    Sure enough, Xie Zhaoyun''s words made Little Fatty at a loss for words.


    Although he clearly knew that Xie Zhaoyun was turning black into white, without sufficient proof, what would he use to refute?


    If it was the Qin Family''s people, he could spit back.


    But this one in front of him was his elder, his third uncle!


    Xie Zhaoyun smiled coldly and said, \"Also, what kind of person you are, I''m all too clear! With your strength, it''s totally impossible to pass the Wu Meng Academy''s entrance examination! Just how did you deceive everybody and become a student, I''m very curious!\"


    Talking until here, Xie Zhaoyun let out a sigh again and said sincerely in a grave tone, \"Oh Jingyu, I know that your nature is pure, you must have been hoodwinked by bad guys, that''s why you would commit such a grave error! Alright, this farce ends here! Peiyu this lass is indeed rather overboard when doing things normally, you hand her to me, I''ll have Qin Nantian discipline her properly! As for you �� you rest assured, with me around, the Qin Family won''t do anything to you.\"


    While Xie Jingyi was smart, he had not seen such a grand line-up before in the end. He was very tensed up to begin with.


    Now, under Xie Zhaoyun''s systematic guidance, this tightly wound nerve finally slowly loosened up.


    In addition, Xie Zhaoyun was his third uncle, this made him have a natural closeness.


    Gradually, he lowered his guard.


    Right at this time, a cold glint flashed in Xie Zhaoyun''s gaze, and he was about to make a move and snatch her.


    A figure floated up and blocked in front of him.


    Although Ye Yuan''s strength was far from Xie Zhaoyun''s, the timing that he appeared was just right, which just happened to interrupt the other party''s accumulation of momentum.


    Xie Zhaoyun also did not expect for someone to throw a wrench in the works. In a moment of oversight, he almost stifled out internal injuries.


    \"Who are you?\" Xie Zhaoyun said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, \"Didn''t you say that there''s someone instigating him behind the scenes? That''s me.\"


    Xie Zhaoyun''s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, \"Sowing discord with my Xie Family and the Qin Family''s relationship, just what wicked intentions do you have?!\"


    Seeing Ye Yuan appear, Xie Jingyi''s expression was rather complicated.


    Seeing Xie Zhaoyun questioned it at this time, he hurriedly said, \"This is my own idea. It has nothing to do with Ye Yuan. He doesn''t know anything at all!\"


    Xie Zhaoyun smiled coldly and said, \"Unrelated? Heh, do you think that I''d believe? I was still wondering, with your courage, how could you dare to do this kind of thing! Now, the main culprit finally came out!\"


    Ye Yuan patted Xie Jingyi''s shoulder and said with a faint smile, \"Carrying out justice on heaven''s behalf is a good thing, why are you in a hurry to shake off relations with me? Why? This kind of good thing, don''t want to let me have a share?\"


    Xie Jingyi opened his mouth but did not know what he should say.


    He purely had blood rush to his head previously and did such an earth-shattering major thing.


    Ye Yuan''s questioning made him step into a dead end, only wanting to prove himself, but did not think how to clean up the mess after this matter was done.


    Actually, standing on this platform, Xie Jingyi knew that he got into big trouble. Hence, he did not wish to involve Ye Yuan in it.


    This matter was indeed done by him alone, Ye Yuan did not know about it at all.


    He did not expect that this matter finally still startled Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, what Xie Jingyi did not expect was that Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to come forward to admit that this matter was instigated by him at the back!


    The flesh on Xie Jingyi''s face was convulsing, tears already welling up in his eyes. He �� was too touched.


    He understood Ye Yuan''s meaning, Ye Yuan was going to wipe his ass here!


    Except, this matter already became the talk of the town. Ye Yuan was all on his own, so how would he clean up this mess for him?


    \"Carry out justice on heaven''s behalf? Heh, ignorant child, what qualifications do you have to carry out justice on heaven''s behalf? It''s still that sentence, bring out the proof!\" Xie Zhaoyun said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, \"Finding me for proof, is it? Then I''ll �� show you!\"


    \"Puhwark!\"


    Ye Yuan''s finger already arrived on Qin Peiyu''s forehead, no idea since when. Divine essence spitting, it directly destroyed all of Qin Peiyu''s vitality.


    Immediately, the entire Wu Meng Plaza became dead silent!


    Xie Zhaoyun''s eyeballs were almost popping out, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    \"You �� You �� You really dared to do it!\"


    [1] An acupoint located at the lower back. Basically using her as a human shield.

 1383 You Probably Cant Be Human Anymore Today

    Not a single person expected it!


    Other than Ye Yuan, everyone did not expect it!


    Ye Yuan killed her just like this!


    The whole place was quiet for several breaths, their heads not quite able to wrap itself around it.


    Even Little Fatty, Xie Jingyi, was utterly dumbfounded.


    Although this year of investigation shocked and appalled him, the original intention of him doing so was also merely expressing an attitude.


    Although he also felt that Qin Peiyu deserved death, he had never thought of really sentencing her to death. He just wanted to teach her a lesson.


    With this, Ye Yuan really poked a hole in the sky!


    \"Why wouldn''t I dare to do it? Her crimes are sufficient to die a hundred times already,\" Ye Yuan said coolly as he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his way of doing things.


    \"Y-Y-You �� Where''s the proof? Where?!\" Xie Zhaoyun suddenly roared.


    \"Killed then killed, need what proof?\" Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said.


    \"W-Well killed!\"


    \"Well killed!\"


    \"This demoness deserved death long ago!\"


    ...


    The reactions of the onlooking people seemed to be half a beat slower, only coming to a realization at this time, calling out tumultuously.


    The crowd was virtually unanimous!


    This Qin Peiyu deserved death!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xie Zhaoyun and said coolly, \"You saw it, this is the will of the people! This whore has long incurred the wrath of gods and men already!\"


    \"W-Well killed! This whore''s death isn''t regrettable!\" Xie Jingyi suddenly came forward and said in a clear voice, \"The Qin Family''s people, listen up! This matter started because of me, so whatever means there are, feel free to aim at me. Lord Fatty, I, will take it all!\"


    Little Fatty''s voice had yet to fade when a terrifying aura locked onto him at once.


    A figure leaped up, raising his hand and smacking a palm over towards him and Ye Yuan.


    This palm could topple mountains and overturn the seas, and actually had the might of heaven and earth.


    This person was none other than precisely Qin Nantian!


    \"Ye Yuan punk! Today, if I, Qin Nantian, don''t exterminate you, I vow to not be human!\"


    How could the palm of an Origin Deity powerhouse be what Ye Yuan and Xie Jingyi, just Grotto Profound martial artists, could resist?


    Except, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of resisting at all. He just stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, \"Then you probably �� can''t be human anymore today.\"


    Right then, another formidable and unparalleled palm force rushed out from the side.


    Bang!


    The air billows formed by the clash of two mighty Origin Deity powerhouses'' palms directly sent the slightly weaker martial artists below the platform flying.


    Qin Nantian''s gaze turned intent, and he said in a cold voice, \"Chi Fang, what''s the meaning of this? Don''t forget where this place is! Wu Meng Capital City''s affairs aren''t your Myriad Treasure Tower''s turn to come and intervene!\"


    This person was precisely Chi Fang!


    Chi Fang gave Ye Yuan a glance and had a helpless look too.


    He did not think that this guy was so decisive, killing at the drop of a hat.


    But this kind of situation at present, he was unable to sit by idly and remain indifferent too. He could only come forward.


    \"Qin Family Head is too serious. The Myriad Treasure Tower under City Lord, His Excellency''s, jurisdiction, is similarly a part of Wu Meng Capital City. This point, Chi Fang dare not forget,\" Chi Fang said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    Qin Nantian''s expression turned cold, and he said solemnly, \"In that case, your Myriad Treasure Tower is going to protect this brat and completely go to war with the Qin Family?\"


    Chi Fang smiled and said, \"Qin Family Head is truly somewhat irrational when speaking in a violent rage. Ye Yuan is my Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist, and he is also Wu Meng Academy''s student. Qin Family Head killing people on the streets is a bit too overboard, right?\"


    The moment Chi Fang''s words came out, everyone''s faces visibly changed.


    Even Qin Nantian was secretly alarmed too, his furious state of mind also calming down slightly.


    \"What? This young man is actually the Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist at such a young age?\"


    \"The Myriad Treasure Tower''s One-star Alchemy Gods are as plentiful as oxen hair. Why would they take in such a kid who''s still wet behind his ears to be a guest alchemist?\"


    \"No wonder this brat is so confident. It turns out that he actually had such a reliance!\"


    ...


    Everyone all knew that the Myriad Treasure Tower did not lack alchemists!


    Guest alchemists, they absolutely would not casually find a person to make up the numbers, especially a One-star Alchemy God.


    In Wu Meng Capital City''s Myriad Treasure Tower, One-star Alchemy Gods were as plentiful as oxen hair. Two-star Alchemy Gods were not few as well.


    If Ye Yuan did not have aspects that surpassed people, the Myriad Treasure Tower absolutely would not hire him to be a guest alchemist.


    \"Chi Fang! You saw it too! This boy killed my daughter under the circumstances where there was completely no evidence! Could my Qin Family be so easy to knead? Today, he must die!\" Qin Nantian said in a cold voice.


    The moment Qin Nantian''s voice faded, another two figures dashed up the platform, surrounding Chi Fang three people in the center!


    These three people were actually all Origin Deity Realm mighty experts!


    No matter how powerful Chi Fang was, he was also unable to fight three people alone.


    \"Tomorrow morning, the proof will be placed on Commander Zhao''s desk!\"


    At this time, a dignified voice suddenly sounded out.


    A figure descended from the sky, causing an uproar.


    \"Flying through the air! Could �� Could it be City Lord, His Excellency, descending?\"


    \"Pooh! Inexperienced fellow, in this Wu Meng Capital City, the ones who can fly are not just City Lord, His Excellency, alone!\"


    \"That''s the Myriad Treasure Tower''s tower lord, Han Tian, a half-step Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!\"


    ...


    Han Tian looked at Qin Nantian and said, \"Family Head Nantian is eager because you cherish your daughter, it''s understandable. But your daughter has indeed done quite a number of things that enrage both gods and men. It''s just that everybody dared to be indignant, but dare not speak because of the Qin Family''s power. Since this matter involves my Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist, this Han can''t sit by idly and remain indifferent either. This matter �� will be handed over to Commander Zhao to make a verdict. I wonder what Family Head Nantian''s opinion is?\"


    Han Tian''s appearance caught Qin Nantian by surprise.


    What kind of figure was Han Tian?


    That was a figure on the same level as his father, the Qin Family''s Grand Elder!


    One could say that this Wu Meng Capital City, apart from City Lord, His Excellency, it was Han Tian, this level of a powerhouse!


    Him coming forward, the weight of his words was completely different.


    Qin Nantian never dreamed that a puny little Ye Yuan could actually make such a big shot come forward in person!


    The Qin Family had long investigated Ye Yuan inside out and knew that Ye Yuan did not have any backing at all.


    To talk about his greatest reliance, it was probably the Essence Cultivating Pill.


    It was just that, a mere middle-grade Tier 1 divine pill could make Han Tian, this kind of character, come forward?


    The Qin Family and Myriad Treasure Tower''s relationship was not considered good, but not considered bad either.


    Han Tian actually utterly fell out with the Qin Family for such an insignificant brat, this did not look like a good deal no matter what!


    Qin Nantian''s expression was incomparably ugly. Han Tian''s words were already said until like this, what could he do?


    The matters in the city naturally needed the City Lord Manor to make a ruling.


    Commander Zhao from Han Tian''s words was called Zhao Yi, the city guards'' head commander.


    Wu Meng City Lord normally did not run things. The matters in the city were normally all handed to Zhao Yi to handle.


    Unless it involved Han Tian, this level of a powerhouse, otherwise, it was sufficient for Zhao Yi to handle.


    This matter got into such a mess, it naturally needed a conclusion. Zhao Yi to handle was naturally the most suitable.


    \"Since Tower Lord Han personally came forward, Nantian naturally dare not say anything! I want to see just what proof your Myriad Treasure Tower can take out! If the proof is insufficient, Nantian still has to personally put this kid to death!\"


    Han Tian said coolly, \"If Ye Yuan mistakenly killed a good person, this Han naturally can''t shield him either!\"

 1384 Favor

    Inside a study room in the Myriad Treasure Tower, the atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive.


    Han Tian took his time to brew immortal tea.


    This process was very long, but he did not speak all along.


    Ye Yuan was not in a hurry either and just silently watched Han Tian just like this.


    Finally, Han Tian brewed a cup of immortal tea and passed in front of Ye Yuan.


    \"You, kid, are really shrewd. A favor made the Myriad Treasure Tower and Qin Family turn against each other,\" Han Tian said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan got up to receive the teacup and similarly smiled and said, \"Since Tower Lord made a move, you naturally think that Ye Yuan''s favor is worth this price!\"


    Han Tian chortled with laughter when he heard that and said, \"For a mere Grotto Profound Realm to dare speak like this in front of this tower lord, you �� are the first!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Powerhouses also walk over from weaklings step by step. This Ye Yuan has no need to look down on himself.\"


    Han Tian nodded his head as he smiled and said, \"Well said! But, people with the qualifications to say these words are not many! I admit that you''re one of them!\"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, \"Many thanks for Tower Lord''s praise!\"


    What a joke, Xiao Feng took a trip to Jewelhill City and interacted with Ye Yuan for a bit, and touched that threshold.


    A puny little middle-stage Grotto Profound could have such magical power.


    If he did not have the qualifications to say these words, who was qualified?


    It was just too bad that his Dao was completely different from Xiao Feng''s. Finding Ye Yuan was no use either.


    Otherwise, how could he let go of this opportunity?


    One had to know that Wu Meng Capital City already had not produced a single Divine Lord Realm powerhouse in 100 thousand years!


    Ye Yuan this kid was too fiendish!


    It was just that this point, if Han Tian did not say, it was absolutely impossible for outsiders to know.


    Even if Xiao Feng broke through his realm, no one would believe that his breakthrough had anything to do with Ye Yuan either.


    Of course, apart from Han Tian!


    If not for Xiao Feng admitting it personally, he absolutely would not believe it either.


    It was true that the Essence Cultivating Pill''s profits were great, but it was just a middle-grade Tier 1 divine pill after all. If not because of this point, how could Han Tian possibly make a move?


    \"However �� you were still too rash today! Qin Nantian dotes on that lass the most. You doing so, there''s no more leeway to turn things around with the Qin Family,\" Han Tian said.


    \"Huhu, his Qin Family already sentenced me to death. Even if I don''t make a move today, would they let me off?\"


    Ye Yuan recounted Qin Tian''s attitude. Han Tian was also secretly alarmed when he heard it.


    If it were others, even if the Qin Family really had this kind of attitude, they would also think of ways to mitigate it.


    Ye Yuan, on the other hand held this mindset: you are ruthless, I''m even more ruthless than you!


    The moment he made his move, he directly killed Qin Peiyu.


    \"But my Myriad Treasure Tower is an outside force in the end. How would you know that me coming forward will settle the Qin Family?\" Heavenly Dao said rather interestedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"It''s precisely because the Myriad Treasure Tower is an outside force. Hence, you all understand about keeping out of harm through discretion even more. The Qin Family''s scandalous materials, the Myriad Treasure Tower definitely won''t lack any. That girl caused the entire capital city to have a foul atmosphere, so how could you guys possibly not have her evidence in your hands?\"


    Han Tian was really quite surprised this time. He originally thought that Ye Yuan just randomly stumbled upon it under impulse. He did not expect that Ye Yuan had long had a well thought out plan!


    That Little Fatty had some intelligence in trivial matters, but compared to Ye Yuan''s level-headedness and farsightedness, the gap was too far away!


    Ye Yuan seemed reckless, but in reality, everything was already calculated.


    Especially under this kind of sudden outbreak situation, for Ye Yuan to still be able to maintain such a calm head, it was truly hard to come by.


    Han Tian examined his own self in his heart. Even if he was in Ye Yuan''s position, he could not do better than him too.


    \"Huhu, since that''s the case, how do you plan on returning this favor of mine?\" Han Tian said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, \"Wait until after I breakthrough! There is a pill formula that I still haven''t comprehended thoroughly. After breaking through, it should be almost there.\"


    Han Tian''s eyes lit up, and he said, \"The same kind of medicinal pill as the Essence Cultivating Pill?\"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head.


    \"Heh, you punk, not putting your thoughts on alchemy is simply a waste!\" Han Tian said, rather excitedly.


    An Essence Cultivating Pill brought such immense profits to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Another even higher level medicinal pill, the Myriad Treasure Tower would really make a killing.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"How does Tower Lord know that this Ye doesn''t have achievements in Martial Dao?\"


    Han Tian could not help choking up when he heard that.


    Honestly, he really did not discern that Ye Yuan had any saving grace in Martial Dao.


    ...


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Xie Jingyi had an embarrassed look.


    \"Ye Yuan, I ��\"


    \"Huhu, that whore, I''ve long been pissed off at her! Your play today is to the satisfaction of the masses!\" Ye Yuan laughed loudly, easing Little Fatty''s embarrassment.


    After this incident, Ye Yuan''s vigilance toward Xie Jingyi was also completely dispelled.


    Little Fatty also did not expect that he would cause such a big problem for Ye Yuan.


    Even more so, he did not expect that Ye Yuan''s backing was actually so strong.


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was an outside force, Han Tian''s strength was placed there, nobody dared to underestimate him.


    \"H-Haha, Lord Fatty, I, have finally done an earth-shattering major thing! Hiss ��\"


    When Little Fatty saw Ye Yuan''s attitude, he knew that he did not blame him.


    On the contrary, because of this matter, Ye Yuan already completely accepted him.


    This made a large rock in his chest finally land on the ground.


    It was just that talking pulled at the wounds, hurting until he twitched.


    The leather whip in Qin Peiyu''s hands was a divine artifact. Even when not employing divine essence to lash on people''s bodies, the outcome was seeing the flesh with each whip. Furthermore, it was very hard to use divine essence to treat.


    Resulting in until now, the injuries on Little Fatty''s body did not improve much either.


    Ye Yuan threw him an exterior-injury medicinal pill and said curiously, \"How in the world did you catch that girl? How did you get yourself hurt all over?\"


    Little Fatty ate the medicinal pill, the whip marks and bruises on his body were currently getting better before he briefly recounted the process of him capturing Qin Peiyu.


    It turned out that this fatty had long inquired thoroughly about Qin Peiyu''s travel route and deliberately dressed as a defenseless beggar, accidentally bumping into Qin Peiyu.


    Qin Peiyu was surrounded by experts, Little Fatty naturally could not get close.


    But when Qin Peiyu saw that Fatty was round like a meatball, her interest was stoked in an instant, using her whip to lash Little Fatty until he rolled around on the ground, like playing a spinning top, looking very interesting.


    It was just that Qin Peiyu was entertained, but Fatty suffered.


    A divine artifact lashing on the body was not some fun thing.


    But it was also precisely because of this that that expert relaxed his vigilance. Fatty saw a gap and restrained Qin Peiyu with one shot.


    That expert held back for fear of hurting Qin Peiyu. Naturally, the expert did not dare to approach either.


    Little Fatty sealed Qin Peiyu''s divine sea before dragging her onto Wu Meng Plaza.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance. Feeling guilt in his heart, he said with a sigh, \"Sigh, why did you do this? This matter was my fault, I shouldn''t have made wild guesses. You''ll �� lose your life like this!\"


    Little Fatty chuckled and said, \"You, Ye Yuan, are clever. I, Little Fatty, am not dumb either! You''re a warmhearted person, lending a helping hand when we met by chance! There must be a reason that you had some suspicions toward me!\"


    Ye Yuan was stunned, not expecting that this guy''s heart was clear.


    Little Fatty suddenly changed his expression again and said very carefully, \"Ye Yuan, is it really okay? That Qin Nantian left ruthless words before leaving.\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"He''s merely giving himself a way out. The things that the Qin Family themselves did, he''s even clearer than us! This incident, he can only swallow the broken teeth into his stomach!\"

 1385 Three Years Arranged Battle!

    \"Sword Tomb second level, one month. I''ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao.\"


    Ye Yuan came to the lobby outside the Sword Tomb and handed Zhao Qin his academy token.


    Zhao Qin looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze filled with a complicated look.


    \"Sword Tomb second level, 40 points have to be deducted each time,\" Zhao Qin said.


    \"Mn, I know. I''ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao,\" Ye Yuan said courteously.


    Zhao Qin nodded his head and helped Ye Yuan deduct the points.


    Ye Yuan received the token and directly entered the Sword Tomb.


    \"Heh, Zhao Qin, what''s with your expression? Who''s that kid?\"


    At this time, an inner-court disciple entered the lobby. Seeing the strange expression on Zhao Qin''s face, he could not resist asking.


    Zhao Qin did a shush hand gesture and lowered his voice to say, \"Hush, Ma Zhi, be softer! You don''t even recognize him? Are you really someone from our Wu Meng Academy?\"


    Ma Chi smiled and said, \"A middle-stage Grotto Profound rookie, I know him for what?\"


    Zhao Qin said with a disdainful look, \"I ask you, who''s the most talked about person in the academy these few days?\"


    Ma Zhi was stunned, his face immediately revealing a shocked look as he lowered his voice and said, \"You''re saying that �� he''s Ye Yuan?\"


    Zhao Qin said, \"Otherwise, who else can he be? Heard that the verdict on Commander Zhao that side already came down, judging Ye Yuan as not guilty! He killed the Qin Family''s direct lineage descendant without even batting an eyelid. Furthermore, he can even enter the Sword Tomb perfectly safe and sound to comprehend the sword now. So what expression �� do you think I should show?\"


    Ma Zhi drew a cold breath and said, \"It''s a pity. I was in closed-seclusion that day and didn''t feast my eyes on it! Qin Peiyu that little fiend, nobody could control her in the entire Wu Meng Capital City. She also never dreamed that she bumped into a great fiend''s hands this time!\"


    That day, Zhao Qin was present too.


    He originally just went to join in the fun and take a look at how Little Fatty would be abused.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan charged out halfway, directly killing Qin Peiyu.


    At that time, his entire person was dumbfounded. He even thought that he saw things wrongly.


    Hearing Ma Zhi mentioned it, Zhao Qin still had lingering fear currently and said, \"You aren''t aware, but at that time, he just pointed and Qin Peiyu kicked the bucket. He didn''t even bat an eyelid, just like killing a chicken! At that time, I even thought that this guy''s head was spoiled. But then, I didn''t expect that it actually startled Tower Lord Han Tian to personally come forward.\"


    Ma Zhi smiled and said, \"This guy''s guts are really fat! But starting from now, Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian probably won''t let him off, right?''


    Zhao Qin chuckled and said, \"What the hell do you know! Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian has long clashed with him already. The last time, he said to Ye Yuan''s face that Ye Yuan was already a dead man. In the end, Ye Yuan didn''t die, but his biological sister died!\"


    Ma Zhi''s face turned stiff, and he said, \"There''s still such a thing?\"


    Zhao Qin said, \"Bluff you for what? They were talking here, I was right beside!\"


    Ma Zhi said, \"What capabilities does this boy have, to actually be able to startle Tower Lord Han Tian?\"


    Zhao Qin said meaningfully, \"Heh, the Wu Meng Plaza incident is stirred up too big, resulting in many people in the academy to all not pay attention to another matter! Actually, before that, Ye Yuan still did another earth-shattering major thing!\"


    Zhao Qin recounted the events of Ye Yuan pulling the sword that day, making Ma Zhi''s eyeballs go wide.


    \"There �� There''s still such a thing?\" Ma Zhi said with a disbelieving look.


    Zhao Qin had a smug look and was just about to show off when another person entered the lobby.


    \"Ye Yuan went in?\" Qin Shao asked.


    Zhao Qin''s face became stifled, and he said with a nod, \"Yes, just went in.\"


    Qin Shao''s expression turned sullen. Passing the token to Zhao Qin, he said in a solemn voice, \"Sword Tomb second level, one month!\"


    ...


    When Qin Shao entered the Sword Tomb, he discovered that Ye Yuan already entered the second level.


    The second level''s number of people around were clearly more than the first level''s.


    But Qin Shao still recognized Ye Yuan with one glance, because he was too conspicuous in the land of sword burials.


    Ye Yuan was using that kind of self-mutilating method to cultivate again.


    The second level''s difficulty was much greater than the first level.


    Qin Shao only used three tries of points to clear the first level, which was also three months.


    But the second level, he already trained for almost a year and was still unable to succeed in getting through.


    Each level, the deeper one went, the more powerful the sword intent.


    Want to succeed in clearing it, there had to be a gradual process in a proper sequence.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was completely an exception.


    Clearing rounds in the Sword Tomb had nothing to do with strength. It was just looking at concept!


    The more profound the comprehension toward Sword Dao laws, the more thorough when clearing the levels.


    Of course, if one''s strength was powerful, by relying on powerful strength, one could similarly get through.


    With Qin Shao''s strength, if forcefully clearing, clearing the third level was no issue.


    But he wanted to comprehend Sword Dao laws, that was why he intentionally slowed down and increased law comprehensions.


    This Sword Tomb, each level had countless Sword Dao law fragments. How much one could comprehend depended on their own comprehension ability.


    As for Ye Yuan like this, according to strength, it was impossible to get through the first level.


    Yet, he passed.


    Furthermore, it was clearing with a very bizarre method.


    Now, this guy was self-mutilating again.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s method, no one could do it at all.


    Once they loosened up somewhat, they would be shredded into pieces by the all-pervasive Sword Dao laws!


    Qin Shao''s face fell, and he entered the Sword Tomb.


    A month later, when Ye Yuan dragged his injury-laden body and walked out, he discovered that Qin Shao was already waiting for him.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, \"If you''re here to say fierce words to me, don''t waste your breath.\"


    Qin Shao said, \"Qin Peiyu''s crimes deserved death. She isn''t worthy of me saying fierce words.\"


    Qin Shao''s words made Ye Yuan feel rather surprised, and he said, \"She was your younger sister, you''re also a bit too cold-blooded, right?\"


    Qin Shao said coldly, \"In large families, how is there the warm-heartedness you speak of? Since young, she has never regarded me as an elder brother.\"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze flickered, Qin Shao''s words were said lightly, but there were probably quite a few undisclosed stories behind it!


    \"Then what are you specifically waiting for me for?\" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    \"I want to carry out a life-and-death battle with you!\"


    When he said this, Qin Shao''s words carried some agitation.


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, and he said with a cold smile, \"You said that her crimes deserve death just now?\"


    Qin Shao seemed to have long expected Ye Yuan''s attitude and said, \"After that day, the family head came to find me. He proposed it, making me arrange a battle with you! Because only this way can kill you!\"


    Within the academy, they advocated competition. But they forbade students from killing each other in private.


    But life-and-death battles were the only avenue to settle things.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Heh, it looks like you''re merely a tool in the eyes of the Qin Family''s people! Your talent is so good, you''re willing to be reduced to a tool?\"


    Qin Shao''s face fell slightly, and he said, \"I have no choice! Furthermore �� I long to have a fight with you!\"


    Qin Shao paused for a bit and said again, \"Furthermore, I know that you''ll definitely agree! Because your growth can''t avoid me!\"


    Ye Yuan gave Qin Shao a glance rather surprisedly and said, \"You''re different from the rest of the Qin Family! Fine, I promise you. But �� I''m not your match right now. Give me three year''s time, you and I will have a fight!\"

 1386 Each Preparing for Battle!

    In the Qin Family''s hall, Qin Nantian father and son were seated on the right-hand side, Qin Shao standing on the left.


    \"How was it? Did he agree?\" Qin Nantian asked in a solemn voice.


    He did not have much courteousness towards this branch nephew who obtained the Golden Sword Token.


    The high and mighty attitude was clear at a glance.


    Qin Nantian could not be blamed either. The Qin Family''s geniuses were seriously too many!


    Especially under the cover of Qin Tian''s light, Qin Shao''s achievements were not so dazzling.


    \"He and I made a three years agreement!\" Qin Shao said.


    Qin Nantian was first a little surprised, then furrowed his brows and said unhappily, \"Why is it three years? In three years'' time, the variables are too great!\"


    Qin Shao was unhappy in his heart, but in front of Qin Nantian, he still did not dare to be insolent and could only patiently say: \"Agreeing to a life-and-death battle must be of both parties'' own accord! He is currently only middle-stage Grotto Profound. Immediately undergoing a life-and-death battle can only be delivering himself to death. He won''t agree to it.\"


    Qin Nantian frowned and said, \"Three years �� Could it be that his strength is able to advance by leaps and bounds in these three years and reach an extent where he can contend with you?\"


    Qin Shao''s strength, he was very clear. It was rare to have rivals among those in the same generation!


    Ye Yuan''s performance, they had also all learned about it. In combat strength, he was absolutely far inferior to Qin Shao.


    Qin Shao was two minor realms higher than him. Furthermore, his concepts comprehensions were extremely high.


    This was virtually an insurmountable gap in Deity Realm.


    Three years'' time was merely a snap of a finger to Deity Realm powerhouses. What could Ye Yuan do?


    Qin Shao thought about it and said, \"I guess that he should be comprehending a kind of martial technique. He''s confident in successfully comprehending it within three years, this should be his reliance!\"


    Qin Nantian fell into contemplation. Suddenly, he said, \"Then, do you have assurance in killing him after three years?\"


    Qin Shao said with a firm gaze, \"Family Head, rest assured. These three years, Qin Shao will definitely go all out and assault the Sword Tomb''s fourth level! After three years, I''ll definitely cut him down beneath my sword!\"


    Qin Nantian nodded his head and said to Qin Shao, \"Good. If you need any resources in these three years, feel free to ask from the family! But this battle must be won!\"


    Qin Shao cupped his fists and said, \"Yes, Family Head!\"


    \"Alright, go back home and take a look at your parents!\" Qin Nantian waved his hands and let Qin Shao leave.


    After Qin Shao left, Qin Nantian said to Qin Tian, \"In your view, how great are Qin Shao''s chances of winning?\"


    Qin Tian said, \"If it were others, with Younger Brother Shao''s strength, there''s no suspense at all. But if the opponent is Ye Yuan, his chances of winning will probably be discounted.\"


    Qin Nantian''s face fell, and he said, \"How so?\"


    Qin Tian smiled and said, \"Father. There is no need to worry. With Younger Brother Shao''s strength, as long as he can pass through the fourth level within three years, the chances of victory are at least above 80%! I''m worried about that Ye Yuan, mainly because he''s somewhat unpredictable!\"


    Qin Nantian frowned and said, \"You''re talking about the incident that happened in the Sword Tomb''s first level?\"


    Qin Tian said, \"Yes! My view is the same as Younger Brother Shao''s. Ye Yuan should be comprehending some kind of powerful martial technique. For him to dare leap realms to challenge, it must be this as the reliance! It''s just that he probably never thought that Younger Brother Shao''s talent is also exceedingly outstanding. Three years'' time is sufficient to let him improve greatly. Presumably, Younger Brother Shao''s dread towards Ye Yuan is even deeper than mine. So these three years'' time, it shall be Younger Brother Shao''s three years of transformation!\"


    Only after hearing Qin Tian''s analysis did Qin Nantian''s expression ease up slightly.


    Qin Shao''s personality, they were very clear with it. He was very eager to outdo others!


    Under the stimulation of Ye Yuan''s three years agreement, Qin Shao might burst forth with potential that would make everyone give a sidelong glance.


    Even if Qin Shao''s talent was inferior to Ye Yuan''s, a mere three year''s time, he absolutely would not be pulled apart too much!


    After all, Qin Shao was two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan.


    This disparity was absolutely not what three year''s time could make up for!


    ...


    In Wu Meng Academy, Ye Yuan and Qin Shao''s three years agreement already spread out like the wind.


    When Xie Jingyi heard this news, he went to find Ye Yuan straight away.


    \"Ye Yuan, did you make a mistake? You clearly know that Qin Shao is this season''s top dog, you still dare to agree to his life and death battle?\" Xie Jingyi said in exasperation upon seeing Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"I dared to agree naturally because I have some assurance.\"


    \"Some? Are you soft in the head?\" Xie Jingyi said angrily.


    \"Huhu, just as Qin Shao said, if I want to rise up, I must get past him, this hurdle! Furthermore, I''ve already not experienced such a battle for very long! His challenge makes me seethe with fighting intent!\" Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    Ever since coming to the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan had always shown people an image of a weakling.


    On his side, he always needed other people''s protection.


    These several dozen years'' time, Ye Yuan virtually had not fought before in the real sense.


    Now, he comprehended an extremely profound cultivation method and was also currently comprehending an extremely powerful martial technique.


    Qin Shao''s arranged battle ignited Ye Yuan''s desire to fight!


    \"But you can''t treat your own life as a joke too! If you want to fight, why must you find Qin Shao? He is about to pass the second level right away in the Sword Tomb! Three years later, his strength will reach no idea what realm!\" Xie Jingyi said in anger and disappointment.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xie Jingyi and said with a smile, \"You fatty, still have the mind to worry about me? If I didn''t guess wrongly, your family probably already took some action, right?\"


    Xie Jingyi''s expression involuntarily choked up, and he said embarrassedly, \"How �� How did you know? The �� The family already cut off all of my resources! These bunch of fellows, really outrageous!\"


    \"Still need to guess this? You poked such a large hole, so it''s already pretty good that they didn''t expel you from the family! However �� you have to be careful of that third uncle of yours!\" Ye Yuan said.


    Xie Jingyi choked up and said, \"Third Uncle? He �� He shouldn''t have ill-intentions, right? On that day, the reason he did so should also just be because he wanted to save me.\"


    Ye Yuan said, \"It''s always right to be more careful! There are 5 million low-grade divine essence stones in here, you take it and use first. Come find me again when it''s not enough.\"


    Little Fatty chuckled and said, \"Then Lord Fatty, I, won''t be courteous. I know that you''re back by the Myriad Treasure Tower and are a rich man! Today, I''ll live off you, this magnate.\"


    Seeing Little Fatty''s greedy appearance, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help choking up.


    This punk was also too discourteous.


    ...


    From then on, there were two more lunatics in the Sword Tomb.


    One self-abused crazily, one trained in the sword crazily!


    The second time entering the Sword Tomb after the three years agreement, Qin Shao made it past the second level and entered the third level!


    And Ye Yuan''s cultivation also entered a crazy mode.


    Each time he entered the Sword Tomb, he would be covered all over in cuts and bruises before he was willing to come out.


    In contrast, Qin Shao''s Sword Dao laws were also soaring rapidly.


    Ye Yuan was still the same as before, making himself a mass of bruises and wounds each time before exiting the Sword Tomb.


    Then recuperating for a few days and entering again, rinse and repeat like this.


    The sword art failed to be completed for a long time, but Ye Yuan was not in a hurry.


    He was waiting!


    Waiting for the day where water flowed when a channel was formed!


    Being tortured for so long, an elementary form already gradually formed in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    One day, during the second year, Ye Yuan sat down in the second level again and slowly pulled out a sword.

 1387 He Flew Over!

    \"Sure enough, it''s here again!\"


    Seeing Ye Yuan pull the sword on the light screen, Zhao Qin revealed a look that said it was as expected.


    While those students on the Sword Tomb''s second level were all struck senseless at this time.


    \"What''s going on? Why did those Sword Dao laws all cease activities?\"


    \"Is there a mistake? Could it be that the Sword Tomb''s second level broke?\"


    \"Come on, when I was cultivating to the critical point, it was suddenly gone. Don''t play like this!\"


    ...


    Those violent Sword Dao laws in the Sword Tomb''s second level became incomparably docile at this time.


    The students currently cultivating lost their opponents all of a sudden. This put them at a loss.


    Zhao Qin''s expression turned fearful, hastily rushing into the Sword Tomb''s second level like an arrow.


    \"The second level''s students listen up! Hurry up and evacuate! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!\" Zhao Qin shouted at the top of his voice.


    The last time, Teacher Fan went into and witnessed the might of ten thousand swords launching in unison.


    This second level''s power would only be more terrifying.


    Once these students set off these swords, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    Those second level''s students were mostly outer-court disciples.


    Hearing Zhao Qin''s yell, they did not dare to dawdle, hurriedly withdrawing out.


    \"What''s wrong, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao? What in the world happened?\"


    After the group of students withdrew out, they immediately surrounded Zhao Qin.


    Zhao Qin''s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, \"Don''t ask so much! Today, this second level is closed! Everyone is forbidden from entering inside, I''ll go and invite Teacher Fan right away!\"


    Teacher Fan rushed over once more after getting the news. Zhao Qin asked, \"Teacher Fan, how �� to handle this?\"


    Teacher Fan was already not as shocked as the first time. He could ascertain that Ye Yuan comprehended something in the Sword Tomb.


    Teacher Fan thought about it and said, \"Forget it, let him be! Seal off the second level for the time being. Others are not to enter. After Ye Yuan comes out, then let people go in.\"


    \"Yes, Teacher Fan!\"


    No one would have expected that this closure was a year plus!


    \"Qin Shao broke through! He passed the fourth level\"


    \"My God, this Qin Shao''s cultivation speed is also too terrifying. This rate of progress doesn''t pale in comparison to the Qin Tian back then in the least!\"


    \"Qin Shao''s talent is still quite a bit worse than Qin Tian''s. But his three years of hard work goes even further beyond than Qin Tian.\"


    ...


    Right on the eve of the three years agreement, Qin Shao, who had always been risking his life and cultivating, finally cleared the Sword Tomb''s fourth level!


    The fourth level was a dividing chasm, because the fifth level''s Sword Dao laws were all Sword Dao second-layered heaven, which was also the power of laws corresponding to Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    Qin Shao making it past the fourth level indicated that his Sword Dao laws already completely surpassed Sword Dao first-layered heaven!


    With his grand completion Grotto Profound Realm plus the power of laws of grand completion Sword Dao first-layered heaven, saying that he swept across those in the same rank was not in the least an exaggeration.


    So when Qin Shao walked out of the Sword Tomb, a stir aroused once more.


    \"Qin Shao he �� is already half-step Heaven Glimpse! This �� What''s there to compete still?\"


    \"Yeah, this life and death battle, Ye Yuan will die without a doubt!\"


    \"Qin Shao is well-deserving of being this season''s top dog. Just five years'' time and he already touched the threshold of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!\"


    The disparity between each major realm of Divine Dao was too great. For martial artists to want to cross in one step, it was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Once grand completion realm martial artists produced a trace of enlightenment, it would make the realm loosen up once more, the divine sea expand again, reaching half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm from there.


    Of course, there were also people who borrowed this trace of enlightenment to ascend to the heavens in one step, directly breaking through a major realm.


    But these people were rare.


    In these three years, Qin Shao bitterly cultivated Sword Dao and finally produced a trace of understanding, striding out this crucial step.


    ...


    The three years agreement was arriving in a flash. On this day, Wu Meng Academy''s martial arena was booming with popularity.


    On the corridors of the grandstand, it was packed full of people, virtually tightly packed until not even water could seep through.


    These two people were the most eye-catching two people among the new season''s students.


    One was a peerless genius personally conferred the Golden Sword Token by City Lord, His Excellency, becoming an in-name disciple.


    While the other was the man of the hour who slew the Qin Family''s lineal descent daughter and could still be safe and sound.


    Qin Shao''s might, everyone was clear.


    But up till now, no one had seen Ye Yuan make a move before yet.


    How his strength was, nobody knew.


    \"Who do you guys think will live or die in this fight?\"


    \"Is there still a need to say? Qin Shao''s strength is top-notch among peers to begin with. These three years, his strength improved greatly again. This battle, Ye Yuan is dead for sure.\"


    \"But Ye Yuan isn''t a fool either. Since he agreed, could it be that he has confidence?\"


    \"Heh, what confidence can there be? I feel that he''s too confident, thinking that he can defy the heavens. I heard that he still hasn''t broken through to late-stage Grotto Profound yet. But Qin Shao is already half-step Heaven Glimpse. Could it be that there''s still any suspense to this fight?\"


    ...


    Many people were all guessing the outcome of this life and death battle. But the vast majority of the people were pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    Quite a number of people all went to the Sword Tomb''s second level to take a look before, Ye Yuan''s realm still stopped at middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s trump card was any more heaven-defying, it was also impossible for a middle-stage Grotto Profound to defeat the half-step Heaven Glimpse Qin Shao!


    Let alone that Qin Shao''s Sword Dao laws were already grand completion first-layered heaven!


    At this time, several figures slowly walked out on the grandstand. One look and everyone knew they were extremely powerful people.


    \"It''s the Qin Family''s Family Head, Qin Nantian! Didn''t expect that he actually came in person!\"


    \"Heh, Ye Yuan killed his daughter, he''s here to personally watch Ye Yuan be killed!\"


    But to Qin Nantian''s side was the Chi Fang whom he had exchanged blows before.


    Several Origin Deity Realm teachers in the academy all appeared on the grandstand.


    \"Chi Fang, you''re also here to watch how Ye Yuan dies?\" When Qin Nantian saw Chi Fang, he could not resist poking fun.


    Chi Fang laughed when he heard that and said, \"Qin Shao is really confident! How do you know that the one who dies isn''t Qin Shao?\"


    Qin Nantian laughed loudly and said, \"Within Grotto Profound Realm, is there still someone capable of winning Qin Shao? If I believe this, do you, Chi Fang, believe it?\"


    Chi Fang gave a cold snort and stopped talking.


    He very much wanted to say he did not believe it, but he really could not say it.


    Chi Fang was really unable to understand why Ye Yuan would agree to such an unfair life and death battle.


    Could it be that this brat was really tired of living?


    He already confirmed that Ye Yuan did not break through to late-stage Grotto Profound.


    This battle had no suspense at all!


    Qin Nantian smiled coldly and said, \"The hour is almost arriving. That punk keeps failing to show up. I''m afraid �� he fled in the face of danger, right? Elder Tong, you''re this match''s judge, you''ll have to judge him as losing! Your Law Enforcement Hall shouldn''t be biased, right?\"


    Elder Tong''s name was Tong Shou. He was one of the key people at the Law Enforcement Hall.


    This life and death battle today was managed by him.


    According to the rules, once the hour had arrived and one party of the life and death battle did not arrive, it was regarded as automatically admitting defeat.


    Their Law Enforcement Hall must carry out the death penalty on the losing party!


    Tong Shou looked at the time and said, \"There are still 7 and a half minutes. If Ye Yuan still doesn''t come, it will be regarded as automatically admitting defeat!\"


    Right at this time, a wave of commotion occurred in the crowd.


    \"Look, what''s that? My God, Ye Yuan he �� he actually flew over! My �� My eyes are failing, right?\"

 1388 Sundering Stars!

    The crowd was seething!


    A small black dot in the horizon was rapidly closing in on this side. Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    \"My God! Could it be that he broke through to Divine Lord Realm? How is he actually able to fly in the sky?\"


    \"Are you f*cking stupid? A middle-stage Grotto Profound breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm in three years?\"


    \"If it''s Divine Lord Realm, the pressure is a little too small as well!\"


    \"You guys, look under his feet! S-Sword flight?\"


    When the small black dot approached, the people finally clearly saw Ye Yuan in full view.


    Under his feet �� He was stepping on a sword!


    Ye Yuan was maneuvering a sword and flying!


    Ye Yuan was approaching extremely rapidly. But the closer he got, the more powerful his aura.


    \"This guy is breaking through!\"


    \"Sword maneuvering flight while breaking through, this ��\"


    The people were utterly flustered. Ye Yuan''s way of coming onto the stage was truly a bit too astonishing.


    In the crowd, Little Fatty muttered to himself, saying with displeasure, \"This guy is also too capable at posturing! This way of coming onto the stage is really freaking sensational!\"


    He looked at the besotted appearances of those female students nearby and was envious to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan''s entrance to the playing field was simply too cool.


    As he flew, he frenziedly devoured heaven and earth spiritual energy, throwing the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy in the entire martial arena into an upheaval.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan turned into a stream of flowing light and finally stopped opposite Qin Shao.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s realm firmly stopped at late-stage Grotto Profound.


    \"Apologies, I made you wait a long time,\" Ye Yuan put away the Evil Extermination Sword and said to Qin Shao.


    Qin Shao''s face fell, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of dread.


    There were more than tens of millions of people who cultivated the sword under the heavens. But those able to achieve sword maneuvering flight, there might not be one in a million.


    Those able to do this, not one did not have an exceedingly profound understanding of Sword Dao.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao attainments were already unfathomable!


    \"I didn''t wait that long either, so let''s get started!\"


    Dread was dread, but Ye Yuan''s appearance stimulated Qin Shao''s powerful fighting intent even more.


    \"Hang on!\" Qin Nantian shouted.


    Tong Shou''s brows furrowed, and he said, \"Family Head Nantian, what''s wrong?\"


    Qin Nantian said, \"Ye Yuan learned sword maneuvering flight, this battle isn''t fair!\"


    \"Heh, Family Head Qin, your words, this Chi doesn''t understand. Sword maneuvering flight was comprehended by Ye Yuan. It''s not cheating either, how is this fight not fair?\" Chi Fang opened his mouth and said at an inappropriate timing.


    Indeed, to the Heavenspan World''s martial artists under Divine Lord Realm, although their combat power was strong, not being able to fly, this weakness, greatly limited their combat power.


    Once martial artists were able to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, there was a tremendous advantage to boundaries of fighting and evading the other party''s moves.


    Now, Ye Yuan was able to fly with his sword, he was virtually in an undefeatable position.


    No matter how fast Qin Shao''s casting speed was, it was also not faster than Ye Yuan''s sword maneuvering flight.


    Qin Nantian also did not expect that Ye Yuan gave him such a big surprise at the eleventh hour. This made his previous confidence immediately collapse.


    Qin Nantian gave a cold snort and said, \"Ye Yuan''s strength is no good, if he makes use of sword maneuvering flight to keep moving about non-stop, what then? That way, wouldn''t this life and death battle have to go on without ceasing? Elder Tong, I request to ban Ye Yuan from using sword maneuvering flight!\"


    Chi Fang immediately said, \"Life and death battles don''t limit any methods in the first place. As long as it''s one''s true strength, nobody can talk behind their backs! Ye Yuan spent three years'' time to comprehend sword maneuvering flight, but you said that the fight isn''t fair. Where''s the logic? Moreover, Ye Yuan is far inferior to Qin Shao in cultivation realm to begin with! Why don''t you have Ye Yuan stick his head out and directly let Qin Shao chop.\"


    The two people each stuck to their own argument, neither giving in to the other.


    Elder Tong''s side also fell into a dilemma for a while.


    He thought about it and said, \"Sword maneuvering flight has indeed never appeared before in life and death battles. Logically speaking, sword maneuvering flight is indeed Ye Yuan''s own strength, there''s no logic of placing restrictions. But Family Head Qin''s concerns are also not without reason. How about this, I''ll report this matter to the head elder and invite him to decide.\"


    \"No need! I''ll only unleash one sword! If he can block it, I''ll admit defeat and take my own life!\"


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately evoked a huge response.


    Qin Nantian''s expression turned intent, and he immediately revealed a look of great joy.


    While Chi Fang''s expression similarly turned intent, but his brows knitted tightly together.


    \"No way, right? Ye Yuan is also too arrogant, right? Even if he can fly on a sword, his realm is much worse than Qin Shao''s after all.\"


    \"Regardless of whether it is realm or laws comprehension, Qin Shao reached the limits of Grotto Profound Realm. For Ye Yuan to want to win him, wouldn''t he need to have Heaven Glimpse Realm strength?\"


    \"What kind of joke is this! Even if he comprehended sword maneuvering flight, it''s also impossible to reach Heaven Glimpse Realm strength, right?\"


    ...


    In everyone''s view, Ye Yuan saying so was simply conceited to the extreme.


    Qin Shao''s strength, everyone was all aware. It could be said to be the strongest under Heaven Glimpse already.


    Ye Yuan''s big talk was also boasted too ridiculously.


    But Ye Yuan really did not have the intention of posturing. He only comprehended one move!


    He was very confident in his move. If even this move could not deal with Qin Shao, he could only resign himself to fate.


    \"Since that''s the case, let''s start then!\" After the surprise, Elder Tong opened his mouth and said.


    \"Only unleashes one sword? It looks like you''re really very confident in this sword of yours! Since that''s the case, then I won''t be courteous!\"


    His voice had yet to fade when Qin Shao''s powerful aura erupted with a loud bang. The realm oppression of half-step Heaven Glimpse blotted out the skies and covered the earth and crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    Clank!


    The long sword came out of the sheath, cold light radiating everything!


    \"It''s Grand Chant Sword Void! Qin Shao he has actually been cultivating Grand Chant Sword Void all along! What a powerful power of laws!\"


    \"Ye Yuan played it big this time! He probably never dreamed that Qin Shao had actually long cultivated one of the six supreme academy skills, Grand Chant Sword Void!\"


    \"Heh, conceited people naturally have heaven to take in! A mere late-stage Grotto Profound actually dare tell Qin Shao that he was only unleashing one sword! I want to take a look at how he blocks this sword!\"


    ...


    The moment Qin Shao made his move, everyone immediately understood.


    The Grand Chant Sword Void was the same as the Taiyi True Dipper Fist, one of Wu Meng Academy''s six supreme academy skills, its power immense!


    Judging from his attack, this Grand Chant Sword Void was clearly already cultivated to the realm of grand completion first-level!


    For a moment, the entire martial arena crisscrossed with sword energy. Powerful Sword Dao laws crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    \"Fine sword! It wasn''t in vain for me to arrange a battle with you! Qin Shao, you didn''t disappoint me! Now, I''ll let you see the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art that I created in the Sword Tomb!\"


    Seeing Qin Shao''s powerful strength, Ye Yuan''s fighting intent was instantly ignited.


    Ye Yuan comprehended for five years in the Sword Tomb. In these five years, he had no idea how many gouges sliced on his body, suffered how severe the injuries, and endured how much agony.


    Now, he finally created a Sword Dao martial technique that belonged to him!


    Ye Yuan named it the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art!


    With Evil Extermination emerging, Ye Yuan pointed at the sky with his sword. A swift and fierce swift and fierce surged towards the sky!


    Ye Yuan''s mouth lightly spat out two words, \"Sundering �� Stars!\"

 1389 Unexpected

    \"What a powerful sword art!\"


    \"T-Too strong! Ye Yuan''s aura is actually no worse than Qin Shao''s!\"


    \"But, Ye Yuan just broke through to late-stage Grotto Profound, how can he possibly display such a powerful sword art?\"


    ...


    The moment Sundering Stars emerged, everyone''s expression changed.


    Qin Nantian suddenly stood up, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of horror.


    \"The Grand Chant Sword Void is already Wu Meng Academy''s pinnacle-most martial technique. Where did this move of his come from?\" Qin Nantian said fiercely.


    Chi Fang''s surprise was not the least bit lesser than Qin Nantian''s.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was just astonishing in alchemy talent. No matter how formidable his own strength was, it also would not be very strong.


    All along, Ye Yuan had always been under the Myriad Treasure Tower''s protection. No one had seen before Ye Yuan actually took action.


    No one would have thought that the moment he made his move, it was earth-shattering!


    \"I seemed to have heard Ye Yuan say just now, this move was his own creation! This �� This move, Sundering Stars, is much stronger than the Grand Chant Sword Void!\" exclaimed a teacher from the academy.


    \"Truly terrifying Martial Dao talent, to actually be able to comprehend such a terrifying martial technique! His talent is likely even greater than Qin Tian''s!\" another person said.


    Qin Tian was also stunned by this sword of Ye Yuan''s. He finally understood at this moment what Ye Yuan was doing in the Sword Tomb back then.


    This guy''s comprehension ability was simply too heaven-defying!


    The moment Sundering Stars was unleashed, Qin Shao felt tremendous pressure too.


    He gritted his teeth and urged divine essence frenziedly.


    This sword did not allow him to hold back in the slightest!


    \"Grand Chant Sword Void! Kill!\"


    An enormous long sword phantom condensed and stabbed straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, the Evil Extermination Sword chopped down following the momentum.


    A power that forcefully cleaved Mount Hua[1]!


    This chop was daunting to the extreme!


    The powerful Sword Dao laws condensed and did not dissipate, virtually dividing the entire space into two!


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces changed.


    Boom!


    Two powerful to the extreme power of laws collided together, shaking the protective grand array until it rocked.


    The students on the grandstand could hardly stay on their feet.


    No one could have thought that the exchange of two Grotto Profound Realm students would actually produce such terrifying might.


    Suddenly, Qin Shao''s expression changed, a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spewed out wildly!


    That long sword phantom did not last long under the swiftness and ferociousness of Sundering Stars before dividing into two, then thoroughly dissipating.


    Sundering Stars'' residual power still remained, cleaving toward Qin Shao.


    \"Qin Shao is finished!\"


    \"This move of Ye Yuan''s is too powerful!\"


    \"Sundering Stars! This move is domineering!\"


    ...


    The crowd on the grandstand exclaimed in shock, seemingly already seeing the wretched scene of Qin Shao being split into two.


    But right at this time, Qin Shao''s figure suddenly became indistinct.


    Boom!


    Sundering Stars'' remaining power directly chopped on the protective grand array, shocking under everyone on the grandstand swayed once again.


    \"It''s the God Bewildering Step! My God, Qin Shao even learned the God Bewildering Step!\" Someone cried out in shock.


    God Bewildering Step was similarly one of the six supreme academy skills, an extremely profound movement technique.


    Everyone did not expect that Qin Shao actually learned two supreme academy skills.


    In the instant of imminent danger just now, Qin Shao forcefully deployed the God Bewildering Step, narrowly avoiding the power of this chop!


    However, Qin Shao''s condition was very bad.


    His body was currently teetering on his feet, almost unable to stand anymore.


    Although he avoided vital areas, the power of laws spurred by Sundering Stars still severely wounded him.


    Qin Shao already did not have strength to fight again!


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    On the grand stand, Qin Nantian''s expression suddenly changed, his knuckles cracking.


    This sword of Ye Yuan''s could be said to have broken Wu Meng Academy''s two supreme academy skills.


    Although it did not kill Qin Shao, there would not be any changes to the conclusion too.


    Ye Yuan''s expenditure was immense, but he still had the strength to fight again, while Qin Shao was no different from waiting for death.


    This life and death battle, the result was already without the least bit of suspense!


    Qin Nantian pinned high hopes on Qin Shao to finish off Ye Yuan in this fight. But did not expect that Ye Yuan''s skill astounded all, overpowering Qin Shao with Sundering Stars.


    Three years of waiting turned into naught!


    How could this not enrage him?


    \"Humph! Trash!\"


    Qin Nantian could not stay anymore. He gave a cold snort and flicked his sleeves and left.


    He felt that the Qin Family''s face had been utterly thrown away by Qin Shao!


    The Qin Family was like the noonday sun, but ever since running into Ye Yuan, it seemed like they bumped into walls everywhere. This made him very aggrieved.


    \"What a shame, Qin Shao is so talented, but he actually has to fall here!\"


    \"He''s really a rare genius. If he really carries on cultivating, his accomplishments might not be worse than Qin Tian''s! It''s too bad that �� he ran into Ye Yuan!\"


    \"Ye Yuan is really too heaven-defying! He actually self-created a martial technique, overpowering two supreme academy skills! In Wu Meng Academy''s so many years of history, probably no one has ever been able to accomplish it, right?\"


    \"Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao first-layered heaven laws don''t seem to be at grand completion yet, but he can defeat Qin Shao with Sundering Stars this move. It can be seen that his understanding of Sword Dao is profound to what kind of extent!\"


    ...


    Geniuses were respectable, especially Qin Shao, this kind of genius among geniuses.


    His defeat made the other students feel great pity.


    However, geniuses were sorrowful too. They must kill each other in order to attain Dao.


    Alas, Qin Shao ran into Ye Yuan. Otherwise, he could have radiated splendor!


    \"Do �� Do it. I already �� don''t have strength to fight again! I �� I lose!\"


    Qin Shao used the last of his strength to stab the long sword onto the ground, forcefully bracing himself and not falling down.


    He could lose, but he did not wish to lose in an undignified manner!


    At least, these three years, he already did his best.


    His feeling back then was right. Ye Yuan was indeed his future formidable foe.


    It was just that Qin Shao never expected that this day arrived so quickly!


    From the entrance examination until the life and death battle now, a mere five years had passed.


    Five years were just a snap of a finger, but Ye Yuan already caught up from behind, utterly surpassing him.


    The scene of Qin Nantian flicking his sleeves and leaving, Qin Shao took it into his sights. His heart was already akin to dead ash.


    No matter how hard he worked, he could not obtain any of the Qin Family''s high regards.


    Ye Yuan put away the Evil Extermination Sword and said nonchalantly, \"I won''t kill you. You''re an opponent worthy of respect! Furthermore, you''re different from the other Qin Family members!\"


    \"What did he say? I �� I wouldn''t have heard wrongly, right?\"


    \"Ye Yuan and the Qin Family is long already irreconcilable, how could he let Qin Shao off?\"


    \"Yeah, Qin Shao didn''t hold back in the slightest just now and already aimed to kill Ye Yuan. I didn''t expect that Ye Yuan actually wants to let him off!\"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone stunned.


    This decision of his exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    The rules of life and death battle were all the way until one party died.


    But if the victor was willing to spare the other party, the other party could naturally survive.


    Except, normally, both parties who arranged a life and death battle were bound to have deep-seated hatred, wishing to kill the other party and then be gratified.


    Situations like Ye Yuan and Qin Shao were exceedingly rare.


    \"H-Hahaha, are you pitying me? I, Qin Shao, don''t need people to pity!\"


    Qin Shao looked up at the sky and howled, suddenly raising his sword and stabbing down towards his own sea of consciousness.


    [1] Mount Hua is essentially Mount Tai of wuxia novels.

 1390 Not yet Complete

    Clank!


    Ye Yuan pointed a sword finger out, directly tapping Qin Shao''s long sword flying.


    \"Ye Yuan, what''s the meaning of this? If I want to die, could it be that you can stop it?\" Qin Shao roared at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, \"Can''t even suffer this bit of setback? The Heavenspan World is so large. Young geniuses stronger than me and you are more than schools of carps crossing a stream! If everyone is like you, a thousand lives is also insufficient to die. The martial path is arduous, not reaching the end, who knows what would happen? Speaking lightly of life and death, that''s the action of cowards. I know what you will face in the future. How much vilification you can stand up to is how many commendations you can bear. This Ye will say until here, life and death is your own business. Want to live, want to die, you decide yourself.\"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    Qin Shao''s entire body trembled. Clearly, he was currently struggling violently inside.


    He slowly walked in front of his long sword, gripped the sword handle, but delayed in taking any action.


    No idea how long had passed either, the martial arena was long stark empty already. He finally picked up the long sword and left desolately.


    A figure blocked his path.


    \"You''re cowardly! Someone who failed has no reason to live on this earth.\" Qin Tian''s cold voice came over.


    Qin Shao did not look at him. He just said calmly, \"To live on requires even more courage! I �� I want to become strong!\"


    \"Weaklings are forever weaklings! The path of a powerhouse is always to never stop advancing, while you, you have run ashore!\" Qin Tian said.


    Qin Shao slowly raised his head, met Qin Tian''s eyes, and said calmly, \"There will come a day where I''ll surpass you!\"


    Qin Tian smiled faintly and said, \"This day will never arrive. You �� conduct yourself well!\"


    Seeing Qin Tian off with his eyes, Qin Shao''s gaze was a never-before firm.


    Since young, it was his first time daring to look Qin Tian in the eyes like this.


    Qin Shao had never been so eager to defeat Qin Tian before!


    He fought for the Qin Family, but what he got was a ''trash.''


    He wanted to let the Qin Family''s people see that their choice was wrong!


    ...


    At the Qin Family''s residence, Qin Nantian was currently in a thundering rage.


    \"That trash actually didn''t commit suicide! In my view, he colluded with that Ye Yuan!'' Qin Nantian roared furiously.


    When Wang Song heard that, he hurriedly said, \"Uncle Qin, there isn''t without this possibility! Otherwise, why would they make this three years agreement? Likely, they have long planned it out already and want to embarrass the Qin Family! Qin Shao feels that his talent doesn''t lose to Brother Qin Tian''s, and feels that the family''s resource allocation isn''t fair. Hence, he harbored hatred in his heart, it''s not impossible too!\"


    In the eyes of despicable people, other people''s mindsets were naturally filthy too.


    Wang Song caught this opportunity and directly dropped a stone down the well.


    But his words were really convincing, especially the latter half.


    Qin Nantian''s expression changed, and he was even more livid with rage.


    He said icily, \"Starting from today, immediately cease all resource supply to Qin Shao, and banish his parents to Wu Xiang City! Living off us while secretly helping others, the Qin Family expended so many resources to nurture him in vain!\"


    Qin Tian''s gaze flickered by the side but did not say anything.


    Wang Song continued talking, \"Uncle Qin, this Ye Yuan is really a troublesome character. If we allow him to grow unchecked, there will probably be no one capable of restraining him in the future!\"


    Qin Nantian nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too.


    Regardless of whether or not Qin Shao lived off them while secretly helping others, that Sundering Stars move of Ye Yuan''s really astounded everyone.


    Among them included him, Qin Nantian!


    Before today, Wu Meng Capital City''s number genius was his son, Qin Tian.


    But after today, this title of number one genius will likely have to change owners!


    Qin Nantian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, \"This Ye Yuan must die!\"


    Wang Song thought about it and said, \"Want to kill Ye Yuan, the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial is the best chance! Otherwise, we can only wait for him to ascend to the inner-court, and take action when he goes out to carry out missions. It''s just that at that time, Ye Yuan''s strength would have risen to no idea what kind of extent again.\"


    Watching finish this battle, Qin Nantian only felt annoyed, but Wang Song was scared silly.


    Wang Song and the Qin Family walked close together, Qin Shao''s strength, he was very clear.


    Ye Yuan only used five years'' time and surpassed Qin Shao in all aspects.


    Once he broke through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, dealing with him, Wang Song, was simply capturing with ease.


    Qin Nantian''s eyes lit up, and he said, \"I forgot about it if you didn''t mention it! There are still a few years, and it''s time for the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial again. Want to kill this punk, this is the best timing! However, Ye Yuan''s matters will need to be eased up. You all tell the Qin Family disciples in the academy not to go find trouble with Ye Yuan these few years. These two years, the Qin Family and Ye Yuan has become the talk of the town. Want to take any action, we''ll definitely be targeted. I''ll arrange this matter. You all go!\"


    ...


    These few years, Ye Yuan could be said to have shot to fame.


    Defeating Qin Shao this time, Ye Yuan''s fame was unparalleled for some time, becoming the man of the hour at the height of his power in Wu Meng Academy.


    The top dog being pulled down, this sort of thing, it was not that it did not happen before in the past.


    But as fast as this season, it was still the first time in history.


    \"I really didn''t expect that not only is this Ye Yuan''s background solid, his own strength is actually so powerful too!\"


    \"That Sundering Stars move is simply incredible! At that time, separated by the grand array, I could even feel that might of that move!\"


    \"One sword forcefully defeated two supreme academy skills. I say, will this move of his be recruited by the academy as the seventh supreme academy skill?\"


    \"Very likely! Once it becomes the seventh supreme academy skill, Ye Yuan will likely be the youngest hall of fame member in Wu Meng Capital City''s history!\"


    ...


    At this time, in front of Ye Yuan was a very sagacious elderly man.


    This old man was not an ordinary person. He was Wu Meng City Lord''s right-hand man, Wu Meng Academy''s actual helmsman, Wen Yiyang!


    Wu Meng City Lord was just the academy''s nominal head. Normally, he did not run things.


    While this Wen Yiyang was the figure responsible for the academy''s operations.


    \"Ye Yuan, actually, when you were in the entrance examination, I already noticed you! You have great potential!\" Wen Yiyang said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Many thanks for the academy head''s praise!\"


    Wen Yiyang was slightly stunned. He was somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan''s indifference to favor and disgrace.


    If ordinary students obtained such praise from him, they would definitely be excited until they did not know what to say.


    But Ye Yuan did not appear the least bit excited.


    Wen Yiyang discovered that for Ye Yuan to be able to create Sundering Stars, this kind of martial technique, it was indeed not a fluke!


    \"Huhu, that Sundering Stars move was what you comprehended from the Sword Tomb?\" Wen Yiyang did not beat around the bush either, asking straight away.


    \"That''s right. Disciple bitterly comprehended at the Sword Tomb''s first level and second level for five years, finally created this martial technique, naming it Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art! This Sundering Stars is the first move. However, it''s not yet complete.\"


    Wen Yiyang''s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, \"Not yet complete?\"


    One sword defeating two supreme academy skills, and it was actually still an incomplete version.


    When this move was completed, how great would the power be?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, \"The Sword Tomb is indeed a superb place to comprehend the sword, extensive and profound. This Ye Yuan bitterly comprehended for five years and only reached the second level too. There''s still a considerable distance to grand completion Sword Dao first-layered heaven.\"

 1391 The Sage Stone

    This move, Sundering Stars, was just Ye Yuan''s comprehensions in the Sword Tomb''s first two levels.


    At that time, he was comprehending in the second level, finally triggering the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s reaction, forming the elementary form of a Sword Dao martial technique.


    Ye Yuan used a year''s time to continuously perfect, only then, was there Sundering Stars.


    However, the first two levels'' Sword Dao laws were far from the extent of reaching grand completion Sword Dao first-layered heaven.


    For Sundering Stars to have such power, on the one hand, it was because of the strength of the martial technique itself.


    While on the other hand, it was because of the powerful cultivation method that Ye Yuan trained in!


    \"So that''s how it is! Ye Yuan, the reason I''m finding you today, you''ve probably also guessed a bit. Since your martial technique originated from the Sword Tomb, then it should remain in the Wu Meng Academy, so as to benefit those who come after. Of course, the academy will also give considerable compensation. I wonder if you''re willing?\" Wen Yiyang slowly said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, \"That is, of course! I''ve already imprinted Sundering Stars'' key secrets and my Sword Dao comprehensions these few years onto these two pieces of heavenly star jades.\"


    While talking, Ye Yuan retrieved two pieces of heavenly star jades and passed them to Wen Yiyang.


    Clearly, Wen Yiyang did not expect that Ye Yuan was so straightforward, and was absent-minded for a while before receiving the heavenly star jades.


    Past students, making them have over the cultivation method that they comprehended themselves, most of them cherished their own belongings and were not willing to surrender them.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually even prepared the heavenly star jades.


    Wen Yiyang had observed Ye Yuan for a long time already. But only meeting Ye Yuan today did he know that this youth in front of him was different from the rest.


    Meticulous thoughts, straight to the point when doing things, without the least bit of hesitation and sloppiness!


    Even harder to come by was that Ye Yuan''s comprehension ability was abnormally high, talent surpassing others. He was far from those geniuses in the academy could compare to.


    Wen Yiyang sunk his divine sense into the heavenly star jade and briefly skimmed it over. The expression on his face gradually became solemn.


    Rank one martial techniques were all too simple to Wen Yiyang.


    With his realm, even if it was an unfamiliar martial technique, it did not expend much effort for him to use it either.


    But this Sundering Stars actually gave him a feeling of obscureness and difficult to understand.


    For a moment, he was actually unable to pry into its depths!


    This shock was naturally by no means insignificant!


    \"Mn, not bad! Very good! Indeed a strange and marvelous idea! Ye Yuan, you actually have such comprehension ability at a young age. It''s truly hard to come by!\" Wen Yiyang put on an act and praised it.


    He was a half-step Divine Lord mighty expert after all. How could he be willing to lose face in front of a student and say that he actually did not quite understand?


    Later, he planned on properly studying this martial technique.


    A martial technique that even he did not understand had indeed aroused his desire to win.


    Ye Yuan said respectfully, \"Many thanks for Academy Head''s praise. Disciple was lucky too.\"


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that he was pretending to be like this. Although Sundering Stars was just a Sword Dao first-layered heaven martial technique, it mixed in the Dao accumulations of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, as well as the crystallization of Wu Meng Academy''s countless predecessors'' hard work. How could it be that easy to understand?


    If it was that simple, on what basis could he defeat the half-step Heaven Glimpse Qin Shao with jus entered late-stage Grotto Profound strength?


    Furthermore, although divine inscriptions could depict Heavenly Dao, when portraying it, there were bound to be some losses.


    The inheritance could be understood, but it could not be expressed with words one could easily understand.


    Only by truly comprehending the deep meaning in it could one unleash its full power.


    Hence, Ye Yuan was actually not worried about this skill spreading.


    He was almost certain that in Wu Meng Academy at present, there was absolutely no one who could truly comprehend this martial technique.


    \"Ye Yuan, how about this? Because Sundering Stars isn''t complete, after I report to City Lord, His Excellency, later, we''ll temporarily set it as a quasi-supreme academy skill. As for the reward, it will be given to you as the standard of supreme academy skill, 100 thousand points! What do you think?\"


    Although Wen Yiyang spoke in a discussing tone, it actually left no room for doubt already.


    Furthermore, 100 thousand points were really quite a bit in Wu Meng Academy already.


    With these 100 thousand points, he basically locked in as first place on the outer-court''s points stone already.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Then I''ll have to thank Academy Head very much! However, can I trouble Academy Head to help me exchange for some spirit medicines?\"


    Wen Yiyang was stupefied and said, \"Spirit medicines? Can''t you just directly go and exchange for them?\"


    Ye Yuan said, \"The quantity that I require is relatively large. Furthermore, some spirit medicines are not common. If I go and exchange myself ��\"


    The moment Wen Yiyang heard, he understood and said with a nod, \"Alright then, later, you get a list for me.\"


    Ye Yuan took out another piece of jade slip and said, \"I''ve already prepared it.\"


    Wen Yiyang froze again and could not refrain from laughing in spite of himself and said, \"You punk, really advanced gradually and entrench yourself at every step! Looks like you came prepared!\"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, \"Preparedness averts peril! Academy head deals with a host of problems daily, how bad would it be to come and trouble you again later.\"


    Wen Yiyang nodded and said, \"Alright, give it to me. Three days later, all of the students staying in the academy will gather and observe you engraving your name on the Sage Stone!\"


    When Ye Yuan bade farewell and left, Wen Yiyang actually had a feeling akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    He, a half-step Divine Lord mighty expert, actually fell behind Ye Yuan half a beat in all aspects. It was so depressing.


    \"This kid really isn''t simple!\" Wen Yiyang praised.


    ...


    On the plaza, several thousand people were standing in neat rows.


    Everyone used an incredibly envious gaze to look at that young profile on the platform.


    Of course, there were also some very unfriendly gazes.


    Such as Wang Song and Qin Tian.


    Hall of Fame was a supreme honor in Wu Meng Academy!


    To be able to leave one''s name on the Sage Stone, each one made immense contributions to Wu Meng Academy, leaving behind a brilliant stroke in Wu Meng Academy''s history.


    \"Invite the Sage Stone!\"


    The moment Wen Yiyang''s words faded, there was a tremor in the void. A chunk of enormous stone slowly ripped apart space and appeared in front of everyone.


    The moment the Sage Stone appeared, Ye Yuan''s expression became stern too.


    The aura emitting off it made people have an impulse to prostrate in worship!


    That was a sacred aura!


    Ye Yuan slightly mustered up the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain before neutralizing this aura.


    Lifting his head and looking, golden light rippled on the enormous rock, each and every name dazzling the eye.


    \"Bow to the Sage Stone!\"


    Wen Yiyang took the lead and bowed down toward the Sage Stone.


    The several thousand students on the plaza also stooped their bodies and bowed.


    One could tell that they were all respectful from the bottom of their hearts.


    Ye Yuan also bowed low. These past sages were worthy of his bow.


    He knew that the swords in the Sword Tomb were left behind by these past sages.


    Finished bowing, Wen Yiyang said to the Sage Stone in a clear voice, \"Today, there is Disciple Ye Yuan, self-created a sword art, Sundering Stars, in the Sword Tomb, overpowering the six supreme academy skills, gifting it to the academy, with no greater merit! The incumbent Academy Head, Wen Yiyang, cordially invites the Sage Stone to permit Ye Yuan to engrave words and leave behind his name, entering the Hall of Fame!\"


    The moment Wen Yiyang''s voice faded, the Sage Stone suddenly shone with a bright light. A ray of golden light shot out, enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    Ye Yuan''s expression became austere, feeling as if his secrets were all being snooped out.


    But right at this time, a surge of terrifying aura emitted from Ye Yuan''s body, suddenly flowing up in reverse, enveloping over toward the Sage Stone.


    Rumble ��


    The Sage Stone seemed to have suffered a tremendous stimulation and started trembling violently in the air.

 1392 Three Bows!

    "This �� What''s wrong with the Sage Stone?"


    Wen Yiyang gave a shocked cry, looking at the Sage Stone in disbelief.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    On the Sage Stone, cracked fine lines actually appeared!


    When everyone saw this scene, they all unconsciously became nervous, not understanding what happened.


    "Senior, what''s going on here? Could it be the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s effect?" Ye Yuan asked Dustless.


    "Heh, this Sage Stone is merely a divine lord''s profound treasure. To actually dare pry into the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, isn''t this an elderly person eating arsenic, seeking death?" Dustless said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan felt his head swell. If this was broken, the Wu Meng Academy would definitely suspect him.


    "Senior, can you make the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain pull back or not? At this rate, I''ll be screwed," Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Dustless smiled and said, "You refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, why did you come and ask me instead?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned, hurriedly revolving the Chaos Heavenspan Canon in secret, attempting to communicate with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    Sure enough, that oppression released by the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain gradually restrained itself.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he heaved a sigh in relief too.


    After the intense tremor, the Sage Stone finally stabilized.


    Those cracked fine lines were already slowly repairing itself.


    Seeing this scene, only then, did Wen Yiyang''s expression get a little better.


    "Academy Head, this �� what''s going on here?" Ye Yuan pretended to be frightened and said.


    Wen Yiyang was also uncertain and shook his head and said, "I don''t know either. This kind of situation has never appeared before in the past. Did you have any special feelings just now?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No."


    Wen Yiyang frowned and said, "Then that''s strange. I feel �� the Sage Stone seems to be afraid of something! But now, it should have recovered to normal. Let''s continue the ceremony then! Carve the characters!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, leaped up, and soared to the sky.


    Clank!


    The Evil Extermination suddenly moved out, engraving ''Ye Yuan,'' two big words, on the Sage Stone!


    Ye Yuan landed. Those two large characters immediately became dazzlingly golden, glaring and eye-catching.


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan''s valiantness and heroic bearing, they were all incredibly envious.


    When Qin Tian looked at this scene, for the first time in his life, he felt jealousy, this emotion.


    All along, he had always been the object of jealousy.


    In his eyes, there was only the Divine Lord Realm. He had no rivals among peers at all.


    But today, that youth whom he sentenced as a dead man entered the Hall of Fame ahead of him, becoming the youngest Hall of Fame member in Wu Meng Academy''s history!


    He looked at Ye Yuan''s back view, a cold light glinting in his eyes.


    Qin Tian already made up his mind, the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, he had to let Ye Yuan die inside!


    "Congratulations to Ye Yuan for immortalizing his name! Respectfully see the sage off into the Hall of Fame!"


    Under Wen Yiyang''s voice, the Sage Stone concealed into the void once more, disappearing.


    "Starting from today, you all shall receive Ye Yuan''s kindness. Bow and pay homage to the sage!" Wen Yiyang said to all of the students.


    Qin Tian, Wang Song, as well as the Qin Family''s disciples all revealed very ugly expressions on their faces.


    Especially Qin Tian, he actually had to bow down and pay respects to Ye Yuan. This was simply even more awful than killing him.


    "One bow!"


    Several thousand students on the plaza bowed down towards Ye Yuan. Wang Song''s expression changed a few times, finally still bending his waist down unwillingly.


    On the entire plaza, only Qin Tian alone stood still.


    Wen Yiyang''s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, "Qin Tian, why �� aren''t you moving?"


    Qin Tian''s face was livid, the resentment in his head rising to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Tian rather interestedly, very much wanting to see what he will do.


    Ye Yuan also never expected at the beginning that handing over Sundering Stars actually still had this kind of secondary effect.


    This Qin Tian did not place him in his sights at all back then. But now, he had to bow toward him. He was probably extremely unwilling, right?


    Qin Tian''s expression changed several times, and he said out loud, "Lord Academy Head, Qin Tian will never cultivate this sword for life, there''s no need to bow to him!"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised. He did not expect that this guy was still quite resolute.


    It was then that Wen Yiyang gave a cold snort and said, "You don''t cultivate this sword. But could it be that you''re not a student of Wu Meng Academy? You dare to guarantee that your clansmen won''t cultivate this sword either? Predecessors plant trees for descendants to enjoy the shade under the tree! The martial techniques and cultivation methods left behind by past sages benefit generation after generation. What right �� do you have to not bow?"


    Qin Tian''s knuckles were clenched until they cracked. Finally, he still lowered his proud head and bowed down toward Ye Yuan.


    He knew that the outcome of continuing to contradict Wen Yiyang was being kicked out of Wu Meng Academy.


    Even the Qin Family could not possibly compare foundations with the Wu Meng Academy.


    Being chased out, he would have nothing worthy of praise!


    Seeing this scene, a hint of a smile showed at the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth.


    This guy still submitted in the end.


    At this time, Qin Tian just happened to finish bowing. Raising his head and seeing this hint of a smile, that sense of humiliation instantly filled his chest.


    "Second bow!" Wen Yiyang shouted again.


    Everyone bowed again!


    Qin Tian felt like he was about to explode. But he had no choice but to bow toward Ye Yuan once more.


    "Third bow!"


    Qin Tian''s entire body trembled as he bowed down once more!


    "Ceremony complete!"


    The moment Wen Yiyang''s voice fell, Qin Tian immediately flicked his sleeves and left.


    Today was a day of extreme humiliation for him.


    He and Ye Yuan could not live under the same sky, but he had no choice but to bow towards this enemy. This was truly a tragedy.


    After everyone dissipated, Little Fatty Xie Jingyi found Ye Yuan and said with a wild laugh, "Did you see Qin Tian''s expression? Hahaha �� Just now, it really killed Lord Fatty, me! But I didn''t dare to laugh and nearly stifled out internal injuries. Hahaha ��"


    Little Fatty''s laughter was as if no one was around drew a series of sidelong glances. The Qin Family''s disciples all used indignant gazes to look over.


    Sensing these unfriendly gazes, Little Fatty chortled and said, "What? Want to hit me? Come on! Come hit me! Hahaha �� I just like to see the appearance of you all be pissed off looking at me, and can''t kill me off."


    Ye Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head. Ever since the incident last time, this punk seemed to have become a different person.


    Although he was still that joker personality, he was no longer as weak as before but became incomparably arrogant.


    ...


    Sundering Stars becoming a supreme academy skill naturally drew the attention of many students.


    Its power, everyone had borne witness to it before. Everyone all coveted it immensely.


    But they only discovered to their dismay after spending points to exchange for it that this martial technique was seriously too profound!


    Even if Ye Yuan''s personal journal was very detailed, their understanding was also very difficult.


    The more Wen Yiyang studied Sundering Stars, the more shocked he got. He discovered to his surprise that with his realm, he actually had many hard to understand areas about this martial technique too.


    But without a doubt, this was a powerful to the extreme martial technique.


    Ye Yuan did not hold back. On the contrary, he made a lot of notes.


    It was just that this martial technique had some areas that corresponded with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon. Without cultivating this cultivation method before, wanting to thoroughly grasp Sundering Stars was simply as hard as ascending to heaven!


    Wen Yiyang studied with great concentration for a month''s time and was actually only able to unleash 50% of Sundering Stars'' power too!


    He wanted to advance another step, but he could not do it no matter what.

 1393 Hundred Cities Smelting Trial

    "Ye Yuan, not good! Things are bad! Uh, Teacher Chi?"


    Little Fatty rushed into Ye Yuan''s residence very impatiently. He discovered that Ye Yuan was sitting opposite Chi Fang.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Isn''t it just releasing a list? Is there a need to kick up such a fuss?"


    Little Fatty was stunned and said, "You knew?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Teacher Chi already told me. Why? You were chosen too?"


    The moment Little Fatty heard, he said gleefully, "That is, of course! This Lord Fatty already made it to the sixth level in Rockwind Cave! That''s an absolute elite disciple!"


    This time, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to get a shock. The Rockwind Cave was the same as the Sword Tomb; both are places to clear challenges.


    It was just that the Sword Tomb was a place for cultivating Sword Dao, while the Rockwind Cave was a place to cultivate laws of wind.


    This Little Fatty never said it in front of him before all this while. Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually already cleared to the Rockwind Cave''s sixth level!


    One had to know that even Qin Shao was also merely Sword Tomb sixth level''s strength right now.


    Little Fatty''s talent in the aspect of wind laws was truly seldom-seen.


    Six years had already passed since Ye Yuan entered the Hall of Fame.


    These six years'' time, Ye Yuan passed it very peacefully. Virtually no one came to find trouble with him.


    Since then, the Qin Family was low-profile in front of Ye Yuan to the extreme. No one came to provoke him before.


    This way, Ye Yuan''s six years were also devoted to cultivation.


    He got a large batch of Tier 1 divine rank spirit medicines from the Myriad Treasure Tower and Wu Meng Academy in batches to study medicinal properties.


    Ye Yuan researched for 30 years in the World Suppressing Stele and finally thoroughly grasped the medicinal properties of Tier 1 high-grade medicinal pills, and created a new batch of medicinal pills.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower that obtained the pill formulas naturally made a huge fortune again.


    For this, the Myriad Treasure Tower gave Ye Yuan 50 million low-grade divine essence stones again as a reward.


    The remainder of the three years'' time, Ye Yuan continued to endure in the Sword Tomb to be abused, continuously perfecting Sundering Stars.


    A few days ago, Ye Yuan already passed through the Sword Tomb''s third level and entered the fourth level.


    Right at this time, Chi Fang came over, telling him that the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was about to start.


    And he was selected as one of the students participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial.


    This was originally a very normal thing. The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial in itself was choosing the most outstanding students to go and take part in.


    Ye Yuan''s performance was so eye-catching, there was no reason not to choose him. This had no areas for people to criticize.


    But among the two teachers leading the team this time, one of them was a Qin Family''s member!


    "These few years, the Qin Family has been very quiet. I didn''t expect that their goal was actually the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time! I went to find the academy head, even he can''t do anything about it either! Ye Yuan, you have to be careful on this trip!" Chi Fang said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan said, "I didn''t expect that the Qin Family''s power is so great, to actually be able to influence the decision-making of the academy!"


    Chi Fang nodded and said, "The Myriad Treasure Tower is an outside force after all. Its influence in the academy is too weak. But the Qin Family is different. They have operated in Wu Meng Capital City for God knows how many generations already. Regardless of whether it is in the academy or in the City Lord Manor, their power is deeply rooted, their influence tremendous. Although they don''t dare to contend with the academy on the surface, pulling some underhanded tricks in secret is really impossible to guard against."


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Looks like the Qin Family still doesn''t know how to the word ''pain'' is written. Then I''ll have to teach them well!"


    Chi Fang gave a sigh and said, "Ye Yuan, this time �� it''s Qin Tian personally taking action! The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, you don''t think about scoring any achievements anymore. After entering the mystic realm, best to find a place to hide and come out again when the trial ends. I''ve also arranged for an inner-court disciple this time. At that time, he''ll take care of you."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Teacher Chi!"


    ...


    The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was a joint trial carried out by a hundred capital cities in order to train the disciples under them.


    Those taking part in this trial were all the pinnacle-most disciples of the various major capital cities.


    Hence, Ye Yuan being selected was also something within reason.


    It was just that Ye Yuan got to know from Chi Fang that the Qin Family''s descendants during this trip were as many as three people.


    The Qin Family did not only have Qin Tian, one single genius.


    It was just that his light was too dazzling, making others seem rather mediocre.


    Apart from Qin Tian, the Qin Family disciples participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time also had Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, two heaven camp geniuses.


    These two were also grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.


    While outer-court disciples still had Qin Shao as well as two other Qin Family disciples.


    The trial this time only selected a total of 30 disciples to take part. The Qin Family occupied six spots.


    The might of the Qin Family could be seen at a glance.


    In front of them was an octagonal altar. Wu Meng Academy''s students already all finished assembling, transporting from this altar into the mystic realm.


    When Wen Yiyang saw that everyone was here, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Those present are all my Wu Meng Capital City''s young generation''s distinguished talents! The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial concerns my Wu Meng Capital City''s prestige. After you all enter the mystic realm, you have to make a united effort and strive for the best! But most importantly, it''s still returning safely! The academy advocates competition. Among you all, there are more or less some grudges. I don''t wish to hear some news of internecine fighting when everyone returns. Otherwise, the academy will punish the people involved with due severity!"


    Finished talking, Wen Yiyang''s gaze swept over everyone''s faces. The students all felt fearful in their hearts.


    Wen Yiyang''s words were actually said for the Qin Family''s people to hear.


    Ye Yuan''s talent was clearly a notch above Qin Tian''s. He did not wish for Ye Yuan to have any mishap.


    It was just that this time, the Qin Family exerted pressure through the Elders Association, making the Qin Family''s Qin Yuanlong lead the team, adding many variables.


    Wen Yiyang had no choice and could only give a warning or two verbally.


    The rest will have to depend on Ye Yuan himself.


    "Academy Head, rest assured. Yuanlong definitely won''t fail the mission this time!" Qin Yuanlong immediately expressed his attitude.


    Wen Yiyang nodded his head but did not say much. He just said coolly, "Alright, set off."


    The group stood on the altar. But when Ye Yuan turned back, Little Fatty''s figure was already gone, and he involuntarily started searching in the crowd. Ye Yuan discovered that he already ran to a very delicate and pretty looking girl''s side since goodness knows when.


    The normally casual Little Fatty actually became bashful at this time, rather like a lady.


    "X-Xiu-er," Xie Jingyi said shyly.


    Ye Yuan came to a realization. It turned out that this senior apprentice sister was the Xiu-er in Xie Jingyi''s mouth, Lin Xiu!


    This kid really hid deep enough, to actually not even mention it to him until now.


    Ye Yuan thought all along that Lin Xiu should still be in Brilliant Peace City. Did not expect that she was actually an inner-court heaven camp disciple.


    Seeing Xie Jingyi said hello, Lin Xiu''s brows furrowed, and she said, "Call me your senior apprentice sister!"


    Xie Jingyi''s expression changed, and he said stammeringly, "S-Senior Apprentice Sister!"


    Lin Xiu''s brows spread out slightly. Her tone also eased up a little, and she said, "I didn''t expect that you actually really passed the entrance examination! Furthermore, you even obtained the qualifications to participate in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial!"


    Xie Jingyi had a look of joy and said, "That is, of course! I am a grown man. If I can''t even do this, how can I be fit to be Xiu-er''s man?"

 1394 Killing with a Borrowed Knife

    Bang!


    Little Fatty''s round body flew straight out.


    "Ouch, my butt!" Little Fatty wailed miserably.


    Toward this poser little fatty, everyone all snickered endlessly.


    "Heh, this reckless and blind thing, to actually dare be frivolous toward Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu, his brain is spoiled, right?"


    "Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu is the inner-court disciples'' top talent. This little fatty actually had improper thoughts toward her, it''s really a toad lusting after swan meat!"


    "Yeah, Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu is a flower in our inner-court, turning her nose up at how many young outstanding talents. How could she take fancy on this ball-like little fatty?"


    ...


    When Jia Chong saw this scene, he sneered coldly in his heart to no end.


    "On his deathbed and he''s still in the mood to pick up chicks here. This fool wouldn''t really think that for him to be able to participate in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, it''s because his talent surpasses others, right?"


    Jia Chong, as this season''s number two, was naturally selected for the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial too.


    Little Fatty rolled and crawled to his feet, running to Lin Xiu''s side again with a waddle, thickened his skin, and said, "A gentleman reasons things out and doesn''t resort to violence. Xiu �� Senior Apprentice Sister, what are you doing here?"


    "Dare to talk nonsense again, see if I tear your mouth!" Lin Xiu said coldly.


    "Not saying, not saying anymore!" Little Fatty mumbled.


    Right at this time, light shone brightly on the altar, spiritual energy surging wildly.


    Following that, everyone disappeared.


    Passing through a spatial passageway, there was a blur before the group of people''s eyes, arriving at a foreign space.


    What entered the eyes were actually a hundred altars.


    "Yoo, isn''t this Wu Meng''s Teacher Thundercry? You guys coming this time, which place from the last are you preparing to get?"


    The moment they landed, there was an Origin Deity powerhouse by the side who made sarcastic remarks.


    This trip, apart from Qin Yuanlong, there was another teacher leading the team. It was precisely the Thundercry who gave Ye Yuan and the rest the entrance examination back then.


    Hearing these words, Thundercry''s brows furrowed but unexpectedly did not refute. He just snorted coldly and ignored the other party.


    All of Wu Meng''s students, especially the inner-court disciples, were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing to rush over and directly clash together with the other party.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister? Who are they? So cocky!" Little Fatty moved close to Lin Xiu''s side and asked curiously.


    Lin Xiu''s expression was very ugly as well as she said coldly, "They are Zuo Xiang Capital City''s people. Their overall strength is sufficient to rank in the top ten among these hundred capital cities. Most importantly, the Zuo Xiang Capital City and our Wu Meng Capital City are sworn enemies! Every time, they would deliberately target us, snatching resources from our disciples. It''s precisely because of them that our ranking is very low each time, virtually counting from the back."


    The moment Little Fatty heard, he said furiously, "So arrogant? This time, Lord Fatty, I, must snatch all of the resources on them!"


    Lin Xiu rolled her eyes at him and said huffily, "Just your bit of strength, it''s not even enough to fill the crevices between their teeth, still snatch their resources?"


    Little Fatty chuckled and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, I know that you''re strong, but Fatty, I, already can''t be compared to the past now! This time, I must let you see that your foresight is correct!"


    This guy spoke rubbish. Lin Xiu glared fiercely, but in front of other capital cities'' disciples, she could not flare up and could only endure it.


    When Zuo Xiang Capital City''s Origin Deity powerhouse saw Thundercry say nothing, he was even more pleased with himself.


    He suddenly swept his gaze, landing on Ye Yuan, and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, Wu Meng Capital City''s young disciples are really getting more abysmal with each generation! A late-stage Grotto Profound can actually take part in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial too. Do you all really can''t find people? Hahaha ��"


    Thundercry''s gaze looked at him like looking at a fool. Ye Yuan''s cultivation realm was indeed too confusing. But his strength could absolutely rank in the top three among this batch of outer-court disciples.


    If Zuo Xiang Capital City turned the spearhead at Ye Yuan, they were bound to suffer a huge loss!


    But Thundercry naturally would not explain anything. Let this idiot invite ridicule upon himself.


    "Zhang Sheng, don''t look down on people! Ye Yuan is the strongest one among our batch of outer-court disciples! Even this season''s top dog was defeated under his hands! Let your outer-court disciples be more careful. Otherwise, if they lose their lives, don''t blame me for not warning you!"


    Just as Thundercry was secretly pleased with himself. Qin Yuanlong suddenly came forward and condemned Zhang Sheng with righteous indignation.


    The expressions of Wu Meng Capital City''s students all changed. Qin Yuanlong''s intention of killing with a borrowed knife was seriously too obvious!


    It looked like Qin Yuanlong was defending Wu Meng Capital City''s reputation. But in reality, he was warning Zhang Sheng to target Ye Yuan.


    "Qin Yuanlong, what''s the meaning of this?" Thundercry said furiously.


    "Thundercry, Zuo Xiang Capital City is bullying people too far. Could it be that you can keep enduring?" Qin Yuanlong said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    But by the side, Zhang Sheng looked at Ye Yuan half-dubiously and did not discover any unusual areas.


    A late-stage Grotto Profound could defeat the top dog?


    Was it this kid who was too strong, or Wu Meng Capital City''s this season''s top dog who was too weak?


    Right at this time, a virtual image descended from the sky, appearing in the center of the plaza.


    Those Origin Deity Realm powerhouses all bowed down and said, "We pay respects to Lord Xuan Ling!"


    Seeing this Xuan Ling, Ye Yuan''s heart stirred.


    The feeling that this virtual image gave him was the same as Wu Meng City Lord back then. They were actually both Divine Lord Realm powerhouses!


    Xuan Ling nodded slightly and slowly said, "In a blink, it''s been another 200 years. Each of you seems to have quite a few additional new faces again. I won''t say much about the trial''s rules, I presume everyone is already very clear. This old man only looks at the results, not the process. Regardless of what means you all use, whoever obtains the most number of natural treasures in the end will be the winner. The capital city that obtains first place this time shall obtain one Four-star divine pill. The inner-court''s number one shall obtain a heavenly divine artifact, Spirit Gathering Plate. The outer-court''s first place shall obtain ten Weeping Spirit Fruits. Everyone, work hard."


    The moment Xuan Ling''s words came out, it immediately caused an uproar.


    "The rewards this time is actually the Spirit Gathering Plate! With this, cultivation speed can be ten times faster!"


    "Weeping Spirit Fruit! It''s actually the Weeping Spirit Fruit! Ten Weeping Spirit Fruits is enough for me to break through to Heaven Glimpse Realm!"


    "I didn''t expect that the rewards this time are actually so generous! It looks like I have to work hard!"


    Hearing these rewards, the several thousand people were all incomparably excited.


    Clearly, the things rewarded were all extremely rare items.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly startled when he heard it. That Four-star divine pill was clearly awarded to the capital city''s city lord.


    It was just that, the one able to obtain it was just one city lord.


    No wonder each capital city paid so much attention to this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial.


    Xuan Ling waved a hand. Several thousand green lights appeared in front of everyone.


    Ye Yuan''s focused his eyes and looked over. It was a jade pendant.


    "You all keep the jade pendant well. Right away, I''ll be sending you all to your respective areas immediately. Once you encounter any danger, crush the jade pendant. You all will be immediately transported back to the altar. Of course, the storage rings on you guys will also be left on the site."


    While talking, Xuan Ling kneaded seals with both hands. Ye Yuan only felt his eyes blur, his body vanishing from where he was once again.

 1395 Raising

    Passing through a dense forest, over a dozen stalks of spirit medicines entered Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    "Heh, didn''t expect that my luck was so good. The moment I came out, I ran into a dozen over stalks of Heavenly Fragrance Lotus Lush Grass."


    Ye Yuan had just been transported over no long and smelled the scent of spirit medicines, and searched all the way over. He did not expect that the harvests were considerable.


    Ye Yuan was just about to gather these Heavenly Fragrance Lotus Lush Grass when there was another series of activities in the dense forest.


    "Heh, didn''t expect to run into over a dozen stalks of Heavenly Fragrance Lotus Lush Grass all at once. Luck is really not bad."


    A young man walked out from the other side of the dense forest. The words he said were exactly the same as what Ye Yuan said.


    However, he directly ignored Ye Yuan.


    This late-stage Grotto Profound rookie, he did not take him seriously at all.


    "Kid, these spirit medicines, I''m collecting them. My, Grandpa Qiao''s, mood today is pretty good, so I won''t kill you. Get lost!" the young man waved his hand and said very magnanimously.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled and said with a laugh, "These spirit medicines were discovered by me first. It''s not very appropriate for you to do so, right?"


    Qiao Jie laughed loudly when he heard it and said, "Boy, you probably don''t know your Grandpa Qiao, right? In a while, go and inquire about it, the name of Heavenly Feather Capital City''s outer-court''s Qiao Jie!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Don''t know, not interested in knowing either. Now, scram as far away as you can for me."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan walked straight for those spirit medicines.


    Qiao Jie''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "Reckless and blind fool, refusing face when given!"


    Qiao Jie directly drew his sword and stabbed towards Ye Yuan. He was actually really going to kill.


    Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to raise his eyelid. Waving his hand, a sword slashed out.


    Qiao Jie''s aura was originally imposing. But the moment Ye Yuan''s sword emerged, his face revealed a look of great horror, hurriedly changing the straight stab to a block.


    He never dreamed that a late-stage Grotto Profound could use such a heaven-shocking sword.


    This casual slash of Ye Yuan''s shocked his three spiritual and seven physical souls out.


    Clank!


    Qiao Jie''s sword was directly cut into two parts!


    He repeatedly fell back several steps, the shock on his face lingering on for a long time.


    If that sword went a little deeper just now, he would be directly cleaved into two halves currently.


    Qiao Jie could not figure out how a late-stage Grotto Profound would have such powerful strength!


    "You �� How are you so strong?"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him, putting those Heavenly Fragrance Lotus Lush Grass into his storage ring.


    "Still not scramming?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice.


    Qiao Jie was startled and turned tail and ran. It was only to see him making three steps as if it was two steps, disappearing in Ye Yuan''s line of sight in a twinkle.


    Ye Yuan slowly put away the storage ring and slowly moved forward.


    The storage rings on each person''s hand were all newly issued by the person leading the team after entering the mystic realm.


    Prior to this, all of them were requested to not bring their own storage rings in.


    This way, it could prevent people from cheating.


    Furthermore, this storage ring was specially made. Once a person shattered the jade pendant, it would automatically separate from the body and become other people''s spoils of war.


    "Why didn''t you kill him?" At this time, Dustless suddenly spoke up.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "We just came in, no hurry. Leave his small life. Later, I''ll directly take it from them."


    Dustless was stunned when he heard it and immediately burst into laughter and said, "You, punk, are too sinister! No wonder you had me plant a mark on every one of them. Turns out that it''s actually this plan!"


    Ye Yuan''s meaning was, raise these people first, let them search for natural treasures everywhere.


    At the end, Ye Yuan would directly snatch the storage rings off the others.


    When at the altar, Ye Yuan had Dustless plan a mark on each of Zuo Xiang Capital City''s students.


    Dustless was an empyrean spirit treasure''s artifact spirit. Leaving behind a trace of a mark on a bunch of Heaven Glimpse Realms and Grotto Profound Realms was all too simple.


    Of course, there were also Qin Tian and Qin Yuanlong they all.


    As long as these people entered a certain range of Ye Yuan''s proximity, Dustless would be able to detect them.


    Weren''t they here to kill him? Play hide and seek with them then.


    "Heh, these outer-court disciples, nobody is my match at all. Those inner-court disciples, I can''t beat them either. This trial doesn''t have much meaning at all. Therefore, better to not waste time on this. We''d best go find Little Fatty first. If they can''t find me, I''m afraid that someone will have ideas about him. If Qin Family inner-court disciples find him, that would be bad," Ye Yuan said.


    These few years, Ye Yuan directly consumed the medicinal pills that he newly researched. His realm was already no far from grand completion Grotto Profound.


    Coupled with Sundering Stars already gradually approaching grand completion, Ye Yuan''s current strength was no idea how much stronger compared to when fighting with Qin Shao.


    Ordinary grand completion Grotto Profound Realms, even half-step Heaven Glimpse, very few were Ye Yuan''s match as well.


    Hence, these outer-court disciples could not arouse his interest at all.


    Take that Qiao Jie just now for example; if Ye Yuan really had killing intent aroused, the other party would not even get to crush the jade pendant and would be instantly killed by him.


    Through three years of tempering, Ye Yuan became more and more accustomed to utilizing Sundering Stars.


    If not unleashing with all his might, he could even achieve instant-casting Sundering Stars, just like earlier.


    This jade pendant was in order to protect these disciples to the greatest degree. But in past trials, there was no lack of those who were killed before even crushing the jade pendants in time.


    Firstly, those people did not wish to give up on the natural treasures they found until the end.


    On the other hand, even though the transported area was separated for outer-court and inner-court, these two areas were connected!


    Once there were inner-court disciples who infiltrated into the outer-court disciples'' region, suddenly sneak attacking, how could a Grotto Profound Realm rookie react in time?


    Therefore, in this trial, everyone had to maintain a high-level mental tension.


    Any instant of relaxation might very likely be fatal.


    ...


    After several days, in the inner-court region, three figures gathered together.


    "Big Brother Qin Tian!" Qin Pei and Qin Zheng saluted to Qin Tian.


    Qin Tian nodded his head slightly and said, "Mn, Father expended considerable thoughts and effort for the same of the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time. Therefore, Ye Yuan must die this time!"


    "That is, of course! Yu-er''s enmity, I couldn''t wait long ago!" Qin Pei said indignantly.


    "This punk swept away our Qin Family''s face in front of the whole city. Not killing him, it''s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!" Qin Zheng also said.


    Clearly, they had great resentment toward Ye Yuan.


    Qin Tian suddenly flipped his palm over. A flesh-colored little bug was faintly discernible on his palm.


    "Uncle Yuanlong already planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug onto Ye Yuan with a secret art. I can already sense his position currently! We''ll sneak over quietly so as to not let him discover us. This kid is very astute, we only have one chance. We must be doubly cautious. Before we make a move, we must have full assurance! If we let him crush the jade pendant, we won''t have the chance anymore!" Qin Tian said in a solemn voice.


    Qin Pei said, "Big Brother, rest assured, with the three of our strength, plus the Heart Refining Turtle Breathing Formula, even if he walks by us, it''s impossible to discover it too!"


    Qin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, let''s set off."

 1396 Dont Be Too Harsh When Doing Things

    On an open field, over a dozen figures were currently chasing each other.


    Right at the front was a ball-shaped little fatty. Who could it be if not Xie Jingyi?


    But behind him, were over a dozen people in hot pursuit.


    Little Fatty was fat, looking incomparably clumsy. Yet, his movements were extremely swift and nimble. Those dozen over people could not catch up to him and could only eat dust behind him.


    These few years, Ye Yuan had been providing him divine-grade cultivation medicinal pills all along.


    Such a long time had passed, and Xie Jingyi already broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound.


    Coupled with the fact that he trained to the sixth level in the Rockwind Cave, and furthermore, cultivated one of the six supreme academy skills, God Bewildering Step, his movement technique virtually reached the pinnacle in Grotto Profound Realm.


    For these people to want to catch up to him, it was easier said than done.


    "Damn fatty, quickly hand over the Crimson Firmament Fruit and we''ll spare you from death!"


    "Damn fatty, don''t run if you have the capability!"


    "Halt, you damn fatty! To actually dare take advantage of the situation and steal our spoils of war! When Your Father catches you, I''ll definitely tear you into pieces!"


    ...


    This group of people could not catch up to Xie Jingyi no matter what. Each and every one of them started cursing in exasperation.


    "I say, you guys already chased Lord Fatty for three days and night, are you tired or not? Isn''t it just a Crimson Firmament Fruit? Is there a need to be like this?" Xie Jingyi shouted loudly as he sprinted madly.


    Three days ago, a group of people was currently in a fierce battle with three incredibly strong giant centipedes for this Crimson Firmament Fruit.


    Little Fatty just happened to pass by there. Seeing the group of people in the midst of fierce fighting, his thoughts stirred, making use of his movement technique''s advantage, swiping the Crimson Firmament Fruit.


    With this, Little Fatty incurred public wrath.


    Those people at the back forced the three giant centipedes away and chased after him desperately.


    This pursuit lasted three days and three nights.


    The Crimson Firmament Fruit was a very rare spirit fruit, a favorite spirit medicine of body-refining martial artists.


    Little Fatty knew that Ye Yuan was a body-refining martial artist too. Furthermore, his strength was quite strong, that was why he had the idea.


    "Isn''t it just a Crimson Firmament Fruit? Said it lightly! Damn you fatty, stop! How are you running faster and faster?"


    Liu Jin was currently cursing when he saw a figure appear in front of Little Fatty, and could not help being overjoyed.


    "The friend in front, help us stop that damn fatty! Later, each of us will share with you three stalks of spirit medicines! Just have to stop him for a moment will do!" Liu Jin shouted.


    Liu Jin and company were not considered far from Xie Jingyi. As long as he delayed him for a moment, they would be able to catch up.


    At that time, Little Fatty would be hard-pressed to escape even with wings!


    As for giving the three promised stalks of spirit medicines or not, it would depend on the mood.


    Little Fatty naturally saw the arrival too. But he was not alarmed and was overjoyed instead, his feet accelerating even more, sprinting over towards that person.


    Swoosh!


    Little Fatty''s figure flashed and hid behind that person nimbly, and actually did not run anymore!


    When Liu Jin and the rest saw this, they could not help being overjoyed.


    It turned out that these two people were together. This little fatty''s brain wouldn''t be spoiled, right? To actually hide behind a late-stage Grotto Profound rookie?


    "Heh, I knew that you would come and find. Lord Fatty indeed didn''t judge wrongly. Those trash will be left to you. Lord Fatty was chased by them for three days and nights and I''m exhausted. I''ll go and rest first."


    Ye Yuan had his hands behind his back as he said with a faint smile, "Relax, leave it to me."


    At this time, Liu Jin and the rest arrived. Looking at Ye Yuan with a cold smile, they said, "Kid, your bit of strength also wishes to stand up for people?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether I have the strength or not, wouldn''t you know if you come and size it up?"


    Liu Jin laughed loudly and said, "Did everybody hear that? This late-stage Grotto Profound guy wants to size us up!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Everyone roared loudly with laughter.


    "Attack together, dice up this punk who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth, then go capture that damn fatty!" Liu Jin shouted, wielding his sword and advancing.


    Facing a bunch of grand completion Grotto Profound powerhouses, Ye Yuan was firm as a rock.


    When this group of people came close, the Evil Extermination Sword suddenly attacked, a sword directly sweeping across.


    A swift and fierce sword energy made the faces of Liu Jin and the rest suddenly change.


    "Ouch!"


    Liu Jin reacted fast too, directly doing a roll, narrowly avoiding this horizontal Sundering Stars.


    The few people in the middle clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful. Caught unprepared, it was already too late to dodge.


    Helpless, they could only crush the jade pendant, their figures directly vanishing from sight. Several storage rings dropped down from their bodies.


    Liu Jin did a roll and hurriedly crawled to his feet. Looking at Ye Yuan, he had an appearance akin to facing a great enemy.


    "This kid is so strong! We''ll do a four-sided pincer and don''t give him a chance to attack!" Liu Jin shouted.


    He raised his sword and was just about to rush forward, but he discovered that no one behind him moved.


    There were even a few who took a few steps back, turning tail and directly slipping away.


    Got to be joking!


    That sword just now was too swift and fierce! Wasn''t fighting with this guy seeking death?


    Can''t beat, it was naturally running.


    "You bunch of timid fellows! Traitors!" Liu Jin said furiously.


    Liu Jin raised his sword and already rushed to not far away from Ye Yuan, but his figure abruptly stopped.


    He suddenly changed to a smiling face and said to Ye Yuan with a flattering smile, "Haha, just now �� was just joking with Lord Fatty! Just joking around!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Are you doing it yourself? Or let me do it?"


    Liu Jin''s expression changed and he said embarrassedly, "I �� I''ll do it myself! I''ll do it myself! That �� if I hand over the storage ring, can �� can I not crush the jade pendant?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s fine."


    The moment Liu Jin heard, it was like he was granted amnesty, hurriedly taking out his storage ring and putting it on the ground, then running away.


    Little Fatty was absolutely tickled watching by the side and said with a hearty laugh, "Hahaha! This bunch of turtle grandsons[1]! Just now, they were still flaunting their might, why did they shrivel up now? To dare bully your Lord Fatty, you know my prowess now, right? Ye Yuan, finish off all of them!"


    But Ye Yuan ignored Little Fatty and said with a faint smile, "You guys too, put down the storage rings and get lost!"


    How could the others still dare to stay? Each of them left behind their storage ring, fleeing like a puff of smoke.


    Regarding Ye Yuan letting them go, Little Fatty was very displeased and muttered, "This Lord Fatty, I, was chased by them for three days and nights! You actually let them go just like this?"


    Ye Yuan reached out his hand and beckoned, collecting all of those storage rings, and said with a smile, "Don''t be too harsh when doing things, we''ll always meet again! Don''t you say so?"


    Little Fatty''s eyes swiveled around and he immediately said joyfully, "Haha, you, this fellow, are simply rotten to the bones! But, Lord Fatty, I, like it! Hahaha!"


    Little Fatty retrieved the Crimson Firmament Fruit from inside his storage ring and threw it to Ye Yuan, saying, "This thing is for you! Just a Crimson Firmament Fruit, this bunch of bastards actually chased me for three days and nights. In the end, they even lost their own storage rings. Was it worth it or not? Haha."


    Ye Yuan received the Crimson Firmament Fruit, his eyes lighting up.


    Dustless had once given Ye Yuan a body-refinement pill formula before. These few years, Ye Yuan already gathered the other spirit medicines. He only lacked this Crimson Firmament Fruit!


    He did not expect that he got it without any effort!


    [1] It also means bastard.

 1397 Scapegoa

    "Heh, thanks a lot, Brother. I was just in need of this!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    "Still saying this with me? These few years, I''ve eaten god knows how many of your medicinal pills. Want to really thank, I can''t even thank enough for ten years. Better talk about what we have to do next!" Little Fatty said without a care.


    Ye Yuan said, "Uh, there''s a guy who just happens to be nearby. Just nice to deal with it together."


    Little Fatty was stupefied, not understanding what Ye Yuan was saying.


    Ye Yuan brought Xie Jingyi along and flew all the way, quietly walking into a dense forest.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan made a shush hand gesture. The two people slowed down and quietly approached ahead.


    Not far away, a sound of a bout of fierce fighting came over.


    Little Fatty focused his eyes and looked over, immediately recognizing who was that person currently in a fierce battle with someone.


    That was a Qin Family''s outer-court disciples called Qin Yu.


    He was a season ahead of Qin Shao. But his talent was clearly inferior to Qin Shao''s, still remaining in the outer-court.


    Little Fatty looked at Ye Yuan, quietly doing a throat-swiping motion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head, the divine essence within his body silently revolving.


    Before long, a flesh-colored little bug appeared on Ye Yuan''s palm.


    Little Fatty was startled, immediately recognizing that this was a bug. It was just that the functions of bugs were infinite in variety. He also did not know what it was used for.


    But he saw Ye Yuan mutter away under his breath. That bug actually flew off Ye Yuan''s palm and flew over towards Qin Yu.


    Qin Yu was currently in the midst of fierce fighting with someone else. How would he notice that a bug already silently attached onto him?


    Done with these, Ye Yuan made a gesture at Little Fatty and ran far away.


    Although Qin Yu''s talent could not compare to those true geniuses, his strength was not common either. After a bout of bitter fighting, he finally forced the other party to crush his jade pendant.


    He picked up the storage ring dropped by the other party. Investigating it a bit, his face revealed a satisfied smile.


    ...


    "Heh, what did you do just now? What use does that bug have?" Little Fatty asked with a curious look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just giving them a dose of their own medicine. That Qin Yuanlong planted a Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug on me and still thought that I didn''t know. Heh heh, what expression do you think Qin Tian they all will have when they expended a tremendous amount of effort but found their own family''s people?"


    The Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug was naturally not discovered by Ye Yuan, but discovered by Dustless.


    Dustless had existed for millions of years, so what had he not seen before?


    Qin Yuanlong thought that it was seamless, but under Dustless''s surveillance, nothing could be hidden at all.


    Not only Dustless knew that he planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug on Ye Yuan, he also knew the method to resolve this and to transfer it onto other people.


    Little Fatty''s eyes lit up and he said with a sinister smile, "Ye Yuan, I discovered that you''re really damn bad! When you scheme, it simply makes people impossible to guard against! Haha, I can already imagine the expression on Qin Tian''s face right now."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, one must not have malicious intentions, but also must not be without caution against others. I don''t harm people, but I can''t be harmed by others either, don''t you agree?"


    Little Fatty deeply felt that way too as he nodded. Back then when he got into big trouble, Ye Yuan directly came forward to shoulder the blame.


    This code of brotherhood was not what anybody could do.


    "Oh, right, that Xiu-er of yours, what''s going on? I didn''t know that she''s actually our Wu Meng Academy''s number two person, an existence second only to Qin Tian! Such a proud daughter of heaven, she can take a liking to you?" Ye Yuan scoffed.


    The moment Little Fatty heard, he was indignant and said unhappily, "Tch, no matter how proud the daughter of heaven, she can''t escape Lord Fatty''s fiendish palms either! Kaka!"


    Ye Yuan was very curious. Although that Lin Xiu was very cold and proud, she clearly treated Little Fatty differently from the others.


    Even if she did not care about Little Fatty a lot, she did not push him a thousand miles away like the rest either.


    In between this seemed to have some inside story.


    Hearing Little Fatty say so, Ye Yuan felt even more that there was something fishy.


    Lin Xiu had already entered Wu Meng Academy for several hundred years. She was clearly not a figure in the same generation as Little Fatty.


    But in the martial artist world, this bit of age did not count as a gap either.


    Especially to Deity Realm powerhouses, they all belonged to young people.


    At the very most, Lin Xiu could only be counted as Little Fatty''s big sister.


    "Just what the hell is going on, let''s hear it." Ye Yuan had his curiosity stirred up too.


    Little Fatty said with a boastful look, "Xie-er and I were engaged before we were born. It''s just that she was born several hundred years earlier than me. Now, I chased after her footsteps and entered the Wu Meng Academy, how can she still run? Uh, of course, all of this was thanks to you. When Xiu-er and I become a done deal, I''ll definitely thank you properly!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization. No wonder Lin Xiu was icy cold to Little Fatty, but she also looked very surprised.


    Clearly, she looked down on Little Fatty in the past. But she did not expect that not only did Little Fatty pass the entrance examination, he even took part in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan also saw through that Lin Xiu did not seem to be overly averse towards Little Fatty.


    This point was a very good start.


    ...


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures appeared in the dense forest. It was precisely Qin Tian trio!


    "This place''s terrain is good; it''s suitable for an ambush! He''s currently approaching in this direction. There''s still an hour''s journey. We''ll set up an ambush here, wait for him to walk into the trap!" Qin Tian said.


    "Yes, Big Brother Qin Tian!" Qin Pei and the other person responded.


    "This brat is sly and cunning, you all mustn''t reveal a hint of aura! When he enters my certain-kill range, I''ll personally take action. The two of you support through coordinated action, understood?"


    Qin Tian arranged the specifics of the ambush in an orderly manner; scrupulous in every detail.


    He had never wanted to kill a person so intensely before. Starting from when Ye Yuan killed his younger sister, he already entered his must-kill name list.


    And the humiliation that Ye Yuan brought to him when he entered the Hall of Fame was even buried in his heart constantly these few years, unable to shake off for a long time!


    Therefore, this time, he must kill Ye Yuan personally.


    Regarding this, he did not permit any slip-ups!


    Arranging the ambush positions, the three people each concealed themselves, just like becoming one with the surrounding environment.


    Looking from outside, it was really indistinguishable.


    Sensing the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug getting closer and closer, Qin Tian''s emotions actually became excited unconsciously.


    Must be calm!


    Must not reveal any flaws!


    Qin Tian continuously warned himself in his heart, letting his mood calm down.


    With his strength, killing Ye Yuan was but a matter of waving a hand.


    But this matter was hard in that Ye Yuan had the jade pendant in his hands!


    Ye Yuan just had to crush the jade pendant and he could instantly teleport to the altar.


    Hence, he had to make Ye Yuan not react, killing in one blow!


    If he was slow by a bit, the Qin Family''s few years of effort would be completely wasted!


    Closing in!


    Even closer!


    Just a bit more and I would have sufficient assurance in killing him!


    Right at the instant Ye Yuan''s figure stepped into the range, Qin Tian moved!


    He unleashed this sword with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!


    Pfft!


    How powerful was Qin Tian''s sword? This sword passed through Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness without any resistance.


    Qin Tian was overjoyed in his heart. Finally finished off this damn fellow!

 1398 Nine Transformations Golden Body - First Transformation!

    Qin Tian''s brow furrowed, suddenly feeling that it was somewhat amiss.


    He abruptly turned around, suddenly feeling that the clothes worn by that person were rather familiar!


    Recalling the scene of him killing just now again, that person �� seemed to be Qin Yu?


    "Big Brother Qin Tian, killed �� killed the wrong person! It �� It''s Little Yu!"


    Qin Pei and Qin Zheng''s actions were one beat slower than Qin Tian''s, but saw a little more clearly.


    Qin Tian''s sword just now infused all of his strength. It was incomparably fast, not planning on giving ''Ye Yuan'' any chance to catch his breath at all.


    Under such swift speed, even he himself also did not see clearly what the other party looked like.


    However, Qin Pei duo did not have time to yell yet and Qin Yu was already dead!


    Qin Pei duo''s quivering voices abruptly startled Qin Tian awake.


    "Impossible! How could it be Little Yu? How could it possibly be Little Yu? Uncle Yuanlong clearly planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug onto Ye Yuan. Why �� Why is it Little Yu?"


    Everything was arranged seamlessly. But why was the one who came to deliver himself to death was Qin Yu?


    Qin Tian racked his brains and could not think of a reason too.


    Until now, he was not willing to admit killing the wrong person, this fact.


    But he knew in his heart that he really killed the wrong person!


    Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, the two people, exchanged a glance, both with dazed looks.


    They also did not know why such a blunder would happen!


    This Qin Yu was different from Qin Shao. He was also a Qin Family''s lineal descendant, his bloodline relation very close to Qin Tian.


    Furthermore, this Qin Yu relationship with him was normally pretty good as well, calling him Big Brother Qin Tian front and back; completely different from Qin Shao''s coldness and pride.


    Now, he actually personally killed his own younger brother!


    This outcome, Qin Tian could not accept it no matter what!


    "Big Brother Qin Tian, could it be that Ye Yuan detected Uncle Yuanlong''s Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug, then deliberately grafted it onto Little Yu?" at this time, Qin Pei suddenly said out loud.


    Clearly, this was the most likely situation to occur.


    "Impossible! Uncle Yuanlong''s expertise in Bug Dao has reached the acme of perfection. Even Teacher Thundercry didn''t notice it when he planted the bug, so how could Ye Yuan possibly know? Moreover, even if he really knew, how could he possibly transfer Uncle''s Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug onto Little Yu?" Qin Tian said furiously.


    It was precisely because he was very confident in Qin Yuanlong''s bug arts that Qin Tian would deal out the killing blow so assuredly.


    Furthermore, when Qin Yuanlong planted the bug, even Thundercry, this Origin Deity Realm mighty expert did not detect it. How could Ye Yuan, a Grotto Profound Realm rookie, possibly discover it?


    Boom!


    Under Qin Tian''s fury, he smacked a palm out, directly sweeping out a piece of open space in the dense forest!


    Although he was unwilling to believe, he also knew that this was the most likely situation.


    Except, how in the world Ye Yuan did it made him very puzzled.


    "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Ye Yuan, I must tear your corpse limb from limb!"


    The current Qin Tian changed and became incomparably irritable from his former proud and aloof character.


    He was unable to accept that a Grotto Profound Realm rookie toyed with him in the palm of his hands!


    The Hall of Fame that time was like this. This time, it was still the same!


    That stifling feeling accumulating in his chest made him virtually about to explode.


    He could clearly kill Ye Yuan with a wave of a hand, but the carefully planned killing trap actually became him killing his younger brother.


    This outcome practically drove him nuts.


    Qin Pei and Qin Zheng, the two of them were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to say much either.


    They knew that Qin Tian already reached the brink of eruption. They did not dare to go and set off this catalyst.


    No idea how long had passed either, Qin Tian finally calmed down.


    It was just that Qin Pei and Qin Zheng felt that Qin Tian seemed to be even more somber than before.


    "Bury Little Yu! I''ll go and contact Uncle Yuanlong, tell him that the assassination failed! We''ll go do the mission first. I don''t believe that this guy can keep on not show up!" Qin Tian''s tone was icy-cold, not containing a trace of emotion.


    In a certain corner of the mystic realm, Qin Yuanlong suddenly trembled, his gaze revealed a look of astonishment.


    Just earlier, he received the news Qin Tian transmitted.


    The assassination failed!


    Ye Yuan saw through his Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug and even transferred it onto Qin Yu!


    This �� How was this possible?


    "Yuan Long, what''s wrong with you?" Thundercry''s voice sounded out at an inappropriate time, interrupting Qin Yuanlong''s shock.


    "N-Nothing!" Qin Yuanlong''s expression was not quite natural.


    They also had the mission of harvesting spirit medicines when they entered the mystic realm. These places were very dangerous. Ordinary disciples could not come over.


    It was just that along the way, Thundercry was just like a dog-skin plaster; eyeing him at all times, leaving him no chance to leave at all.


    Previously, Qin Yuanlong was still secretly sneering at Thundercry. He already planted the Child-Mother Heart Linking Bug, but the other party did not know.


    But now, all of the mocking became astonishment.


    Ye Yuan did not die. It was his nephew, Qin Yu, who died!


    "Since it''s fine, the spiritual energy of that area ahead is very rich. There might be spirit medicines. Let''s go over," Thundercry said.


    "Mn, let''s go." Qin Yuanlong feigned an appearance as if nothing was wrong and followed Thundercry away.


    It was just that he was already cudgeling his brain for a plan to leave.


    ...


    Time passed day by day, various places inside the mystic realm played out the fighting and killings among the various cities'' disciples.


    But Ye Yuan hid in a concealed cave to refine a One Transformation Profound Gold Pill.


    One Transformation Profound Gold Pill was the body-refining pill formula that Dustless gave to Ye Yuan.


    With his current strength, Tier 1 divine pills were basically nothing difficult.


    He spent half a year''s effort to research the One Transformation Profound Gold Pill''s array formation thoroughly, finally refining this medicinal pill a few days ago.


    Inside the dark cave, golden light radiated, illuminating the entire cave akin to daytime!


    After another month of refining, Ye Yuan''s Nine Transformations Golden Body''s first transformation was finally achieved!


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s entire body was molded like a golden body, the entire body assuming a golden color, looking very strange.


    No idea how long had passed either, the light faded. Ye Yuan''s skin finally recovered to its normal appearance.


    But his current fleshy body was filled with strength.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that right now, by just relying on the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, he could have a battle with Qin Shao.


    "Unfortunately, my fleshy body hasn''t broken through to the second transformation yet. Otherwise, my Atavism Dragon Soul should be able to awaken for the second time, right?" Ye Yuan pondered rather regretfully.


    Ye Yuan''s Atavism Dragon Soul''s first awakening was ahead of schedule. But this second awakening kept failing to arrive.


    But after reaching the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan also discovered that even one of the dragon race''s paramount martial techniques, the Voice of the Dragon God, was also not considered a top-notch cultivation method in this place.


    This move could not possibly be like it used to be in the Immortal Grove World, being ever-victorious.


    At least, the Sundering Stars that he currently comprehended was more than a magnitude stronger than the Voice of the Dragon God.


    However, the Voice of the Dragon God was still a very incisive martial technique in the end.


    Furthermore, once he awakened for the second time, he could directly comprehend the power of laws to the limits of the second level. Helping him to leap realms to battle was also nothing difficult.


    "It''s almost time. I should also go out and settle scores!" Ye Yuan slowly got up and walked towards the cave entrance.

 1399 Limitless Challenge!

    "Heh, the few of you are from Wu Meng Capital City, right? What a coincidence. Hand over the storage rings obediently, and then commit suicide!"


    Qiao Jie brought along five Heavenly Feather Capital City''s students and surrounded three students from Wu Meng Capital City, with a look of swagger.


    Through a few months'' time of wandering around, the majority of the capital cities were all able to gather a group of their own students.


    One person fighting alone could not compare to numbers after all.


    Apart from this, the relationships between some capital cities were pretty good. They would even cooperate with each other to deal with other capital cities.


    Of course, some solitary people would also gather together, forming one small group after another.


    All in all, what this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial trained was not just the students'' strength, it was more on their survivability.


    Under the circumstances of ensuring that they were not finished off, and finishing off others!


    Qiao Jie later inquired from many parties and finally knew that the late-stage Grotto Profound who broke his sword originated from Wu Meng Capital City.


    Now, when he saw Wu Meng Capital City''s people, he vented his anger on these people.


    "Our Wu Meng Capital City and the Heavenly Feather Capital City each stay in our own lanes. We''ll just hand over the storage rings, why is there a need to pressure people?" said a student from Wu Meng Capital City.


    Qiao Jie had a smug look as he said, "Want to blame, blame that fellow called Ye Yuan. Who asked him to provoke Lord Qiao, me?"


    "Turns out it''s Ye Yuan! This guy is really a troublemaker!"


    "Yeah! This guy went around to stir up trouble at the Wu Meng Academy. I didn''t think that participating in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, he still provoked enemies everywhere!"


    "Why doesn''t that guy go and die!"


    The moment the three people heard that it was Ye Yuan who attracted the enemy, their temper flared up out of nowhere.


    In the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, the biggest taboo was making enemies everywhere. But Ye Yuan provoked enemies everywhere.


    But now, they were made to shoulder the blame. This naturally made them very depressed.


    "Originally thought that everyone is from the same academy, but you guys are talking bad about me behind my back. What should I do?"


    At this time, a leisurely voice sounded out, making everyone get a shock.


    Qiao Jie''s expression changed. This voice, he was too familiar with it. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan brought along a little fatty and appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Qiao Jie instinctively wanted to run. But he instantly saw quite a few fellow disciples around him, and immediately became much braver in his heart.


    "Hey, punk, you finally showed up! The score last time, we should settle it properly!" Qiao Jie said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "We should settle it properly! The few of you, hand over your storage rings!"


    Qiao Jie sneered coldly and said, "You''re really arrogant! There are six of us today. Could it be that you plan on fighting one-on-six?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "So what if one-on-six? Looks like you want me to take action!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan directly unleashed Sundering Stars over.


    Qiao Jie''s expression changed drastically. This sword move was no idea how much stronger than that move used to deal with him back then!


    Only at this time did he know that Ye Yuan did not use much strength at all back then!


    This move of Ye Yuan''s was incomparably fast. Qiao Jie simply could not avoid it.


    With strong unwillingness, he crushed the jade pendant.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the remaining people and said nonchalantly, "You guys want me to take action too? Your strength is even worse than his. If I unleash my sword again, you guys might not have time to crush the jade pendant!"


    The remaining five people were all white as a sheet. How could they still dare to resist? They crushed their jade pendants in succession, transporting away.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. 20 over storage rings came to his hand.


    "Heh, looks like letting that guy off back then was right. This half a year, that guy collected quite a number of storage rings. It saved me quite a bit of trouble," Ye Yuan said with a satisfied look.


    When the Wu Meng Academy''s three people saw Ye Yuan eradicate Qiao Jie six people with a wave of a hand, each and every one of their faces were very ugly.


    Ye Yuan never made a move in these six to seven years. They completely did not know how powerful Ye Yuan''s strength was currently.


    At that time, Ye Yuan defeated Qin Shao, but he was not powerful to this kind of degree.


    This was just six to seven years'' time, and Ye Yuan''s strength was already no longer what it was before!


    What was laughable was that they were still talking about him behind his back just now, and yet, it was heard by Ye Yuan.


    With this, it was awkward!


    "You fools, not taking the side of your own people in this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, but you actually blamed Ye Yuan! Really stupid! This Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, if you don''t provoke others, will others not come and kill you? Have you all stayed too long in the academy, your brains all gone soft?" Little Fatty came forward and reprimanded those few people.


    "This �� We �� We know we were wrong."


    Those few people''s expressions were extremely ugly, but also did not know how they should refute, and could only admit their mistakes.


    The current Ye Yuan was already not on the same level as them long ago.


    Ye Yuan gave them a glance and said coolly, "Looking on the account of being fellow disciples, you guys leave! But help me do something!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, the three of them were akin to being granted amnesty, and hurriedly said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, feel free to instruct!"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "A month later, I''ll accept the challenge of all outer-court disciples at Howless Ridge! No restriction on numbers, no restrictions on methods! You guys help me to spread this news!"


    The three people''s expression changed, drawing a cold breath, using dumbfounded gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    This �� was too crazy!


    Ye Yuan was going to challenge a hundred cities'' geniuses with his power alone!


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, this �� this is �� too risky, right?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Taking the risk or not, don''t need you to worry about it! You just say that I have several hundred storage rings in my hands. As long as they are confident in themselves, they can come and challenge me!"


    The three people exchanged glances, all being dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan''s arrogant words.


    This Hundred Cities Smelting Trial had been held for no idea how many seasons. No one had even been arrogant to the degree to challenge all of the hundred cities'' elite disciples!


    But he, Ye Yuan, did just that!


    One had to know that although this smelting trial was called Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, the capital cities taking part were far from just 100 capital cities!


    In reality, the cities taking part were close to 200!


    Each city had 30 people taking part, which was also close to 6000 people!


    According to the one-to-two ratio of inner-court disciples and outer-court disciples, outer-court disciples were close to 4000 people!


    These 4000 people were all elites among elites of each capital city. Every single one was a very formidable expert.


    But now, Ye Yuan wanted to challenge these 3000 over geniuses with his power alone!


    They did not know whether such an action should be called courageous, or seeking death.


    When the three people came to their senses, Ye Yuan was already long gone.


    "Are �� Are we really going to say that? This guy �� is also a little too crazy, right?"


    "But his strength is really powerful! I''ve heard of that Qiao Jie just now before. He''s a Heavenly Feather Capital City''s peerless genius. His strength was probably not beneath Qin Shao''s! Even he couldn''t last past one move under Ye Yuan''s hands!"


    "But Ye Yuan said, no restrictions on methods, no restriction on numbers! One person challenging close to 4000 people, just thinking about it is terrifying!"


    "Since he said so, we''ll comply with it! Either way, if something happens, it has nothing to do with us either!"

 1400 Who Was Toyed?

    "Did you hear? There''s a fool who actually wants to challenge all of the hundred cities'' geniuses at Howless Ridge!"


    "How is it possible to not hear of it? This wouldn''t be news deliberately released by someone, wanting to ambush us halfway, right?"


    "Heh, I heard that this fool called Ye Yuan came from Wu Meng Capital City and is just late-stage Grotto Profound."


    "Late-stage Grotto Profound? Why is it more and more nonsensical? For a late-stage Grotto Profound to be able to survive until now is already a miracle. He still has the strength to challenge so many geniuses?"


    "No matter what, Howless Ridge must be very lively now already. We''d best go and take a look!"


    ...


    This one month''s time, the news of Ye Yuan putting out the challenge for all outer-court disciples at Howless Ridge spread like wildfire.


    Some people dismissed this with a laugh. But some people were still moved by the storage rings in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    More and more outer-court disciples were currently rushing to Howless Ridge.


    Not long after this group of people left, two silhouettes walked out of the dense forest.


    But these two people were Qin Yuanlong and Qin Tian!


    Qin Yuanlong tangled with Thundercry for several months and finally found a chance to shake him off.


    The two of them rendezvous in this outer-court region. They did not expect that they would hear news about Ye Yuan.


    "Humph! This brat is really rampant! He really thinks himself to be invincible under the heavens? He probably doesn''t know that those from powerful capital cities, many disciples all intentionally suppressed their realms to comprehend the power of laws!" Regarding Ye Yuan''s arrogant actions, Qin Tian responded with a cold sneer.


    "This punk is indeed arrogant without limit! But this kind of courting death action, we can make use of it," Qin Yuanlong said with a smile.


    "With Uncle around, since we know the whereabouts of that kid, he''s naturally certain to die!" Qin Tian said.


    ...


    The current Howless Ridge had long gathered a large group of students already.


    Ye Yuan stood on the mountain, standing with his hands behind his back, with an attitude of standing proudly under the heavens.


    By his side, over a dozen figures already surrounded him.


    "Sure enough, the first to find Ye Yuan was the Zuo Xiang Capital City''s people!"


    "Use your butt to think and you''ll also know! Zuo Xiang Capital City and Wu Meng Capital City are implacable enemies. Each trial, they will eye Wu Meng''s students to kill. This time, there naturally won''t be any exception either."


    "I heard that He Ning is Zuo Xiang''s outer-court''s number one person, an existence with hopes of breaking through to Divine Lord Realm. Him alone is already very hard to deal with, let alone 15 to 16 people!"


    "Ye Yuan this fellow is too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! He Ning isn''t the strongest. Yong Dang Capital City''s Jin Yu, Chang Jia Capital City''s Qiu Shuisheng, they are the most terrifying existences!"


    He Ning was Zuo Xiang Capital City''s outer-court''s number one person. His Sword Dao laws already reached the third level of Sword Dao second-layered heaven, his strength extremely formidable.


    But Zuo Xiang Capital City''s might did not lie on He Ning alone.


    Those students by his side, each and every one of them, their strengths were not ordinary too.


    When he heard that Ye Yuan was Wu Meng Capital City''s disciple, he brought all of Zuo Xiang Capital City''s disciples and rushed over straight away.


    Towards Wu Meng Capital City''s disciples, they had never been soft-hearted.


    Furthermore, they never paid attention to fighting one-on-one. Want to fight, it was all together!


    "Kid, I say, are you brave, or is your brain not working well? Looks like your Wu Meng Capital City''s this season''s top dog is really unbelievably weak, to actually lose at the hands of you, this fool. Haha ��" He Ning said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "So much crap. If you''re not making a move, I''m coming!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s rushing figure, He Ning said disdainfully, "Just this bit of strength? To dare be so arrogant, I even thought that you can let me enjoy to my heart''s content!"


    Facing Ye Yuan''s attack, He Ning did not retreat, but advanced instead, his figure disappearing bizarrely.


    At the same time, Zuo Xiang Capital City''s other people also moved.


    The reason why Zuo Xiang Capital City was powerful was not just because their students'' strength was powerful, their cooperation was also incredibly close.


    The moment these dozen over people made a move, it was akin to one person fighting; incomparably harmonious.


    Clank!


    He Ning exchanged a sword move with Ye Yuan in a blink, but he was shocked until his arm went numb, his long sword nearly slipping out of his hand!


    His expression changed, greatly astonished in his heart!


    How could a late-stage Grotto Profound''s casual sword move have such terrifying strength?


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Ye Yuan''s sword emerged like the wind. Under the encirclement of over a dozen people, it came and went freely, without the slightest hint of falling into a disadvantage.


    In one exchange, all of Zuo Xiang Capital City''s people fell into immense shock.


    He Ning''s expression turned fearful and he said in a solemn voice, "All don''t hide it anymore! Nine Firmament Sword Energy, kill!"


    Zuo Xiang Capital City''s group of students cooperated seamlessly. Under He Ning''s command, the within the group battle immediately crisscrossed with sword energy. Rays of terrifying sword energy slashed over toward Ye Yuan.


    "Strength isn''t bad! A little interesting!"


    Facing the besieging of over a dozen experts, Ye Yuan did not seem to feel taxed. Instead, he appeared to have plenty more to spare.


    Zuo Xiang Capital City''s Nine Firmament Sword Energy was indeed very strong. Displaying the move with over a dozen people joining hands, its might was even more unimaginable.


    Only such a battle could make Ye Yuan enjoy it.


    Those sword after sword of Ye Yuan''s parried seemingly in a careless manner. Actually, each sword contained the sword intent of Sundering Stars inside.


    His utilization of Sundering Stars currently was long already not limited to that heaven-shocking chop.


    With every movement, releasing and withdrawing as he pleased.


    In such a small-scale battle, Ye Yuan practically utilized the sword intent of Sundering Stars to the limits!


    It was just that this battle was totally not the case in the view of outsiders.


    "He Ning, stop playing! Is it fun to toy with the young man?"


    "Haha, you guys have to bring out a bit of strength at any rate. Otherwise, when other people see it, they''ll even think that you guys aren''t a match for a late-stage Grotto Profound!"


    "When can your Zuo Xiang Capital City get rid of this bad habit and stop playing cat-and-mouse games?"


    Among Zuo Xiang Capital City''s students, they could sense the other parties'' positions through the Nine Firmament Sword Energy.


    Hench, each trial, they could virtually find their companions the fastest. They would then regroup into a powerful team to crush the opponent.


    It was precisely because of so that their overall strength ranked among the best of these hundred cities.


    They also frequently surrounded their opponents and not kill, forcing the other party to crush their own jade pendant.


    This was a humiliation toward the opponent and also made many weaker capital cities gnash their teeth in hatred.


    This point, Wu Meng Capital City''s disciples felt it the most.


    But, no matter how furious they were, no one could do anything to Zuo Xiang Capital City either.


    Powerful strength was so capricious.


    It was just that this time, it was totally not the case.


    He Ning knew his own pain. This Ye Yuan was really powerful to the extreme. The more he fought, the more alarmed he became.


    This brat cultivated no idea what kind of heretic martial technique. A casual sword move contained tremendous power, capable of easily breaking their Nine Firmament Sword Energy.


    This point, outsiders could not tell at all. Only by feeling it personally could one experience it.


    It was precisely because of so that it let everyone mistakenly thought that Zuo Xiang Capital City, these guys'' old habit flared up again, deliberately playing with Ye Yuan.


    In reality, it was them who were toyed by Ye Yuan!


    Clank!


    Suddenly, a clear sound transmitted out. The long sword in a Zuo Xiang Capital City''s disciple''s hands was directly shook to fly out.


    And Ye Yuan''s next sword move already slashed over like lightning!

 1401 Shaved Bald

    Over a dozen swords stabbed over towards Ye Yuan at the same time. They wanted to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao[1]!


    However, it was like Ye Yuan did not see it. The Evil Extermination Sword suddenly accelerated, chopping down with immense speed.


    The expression of that Zuo Xiang Capital City''s student changed drastically and knew that there was no more chance of a fluke, crushing the jade pendant and transporting back.


    Right at this time, over a dozen long swords arrived!


    "Go to hell!"


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s move was already ending and he was unable to save himself at all. He Ning could not help being overjoyed when he saw the situation.


    But right at this moment, a layer of golden light surfaced on Ye Yuan''s body. The long sword struck back at a strange angle.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Ye Yuan''s long sword swept, sweeping away all of the dozen over swords.


    Quick as thought!


    The entire process was also nothing more than a flash, fast until everyone did not react to it.


    "Nine Transformations Golden Body, first transformation grand completion!" He Ning said in disbelief.


    The surrounding students were all incomparably shocked, not daring to believe the scene before their eyes.


    "What the hell! They messed up, played their own people to death!"


    "Just now, that was �� Nine Transformations Golden Body? Isn''t it said that the Nine Transformations Golden Body''s cultivation speed is very slow. Even exceedingly talented people could only have some attainments in 1000 years?"


    "This Ye Yuan''s strength is uncommon, he actually still had time to go cultivate the fleshy body?"


    "This Ye Yuan is so bizarre! Not only is he completely unscathed under the besieging of over a dozen people, he actually even counter-killed a person instead!"


    ...


    The cultivation of the fleshy body was an extremely slow process. Even with the assistance of medicinal pills, it was also very hard to have some achievements within a short time.


    But once they had some achievements, it was rare to have opponents in the same rank!


    If one''s strength was not powerful to a certain degree, one could not breach their defenses at all.


    Furthermore, the Nine Transformations Golden Body could do what ordinary people could not. One''s control over their bodies could reach an inconceivable degree.


    Just now, Ye Yuan''s Sundering Stars had an imposing momentum. If it were others, it would be tremendously difficult to pull back. But he relied on the toughness of the fleshy body and performed the inconceivable action.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Quite interesting, continue!"


    Done talking, his long sword swung. Another sword slashed over towards He Ning.


    He Ning''s pupils constricted, hurriedly dodging aside.


    The group of people fell into a group battle once more.


    This time, nobody mocked Ye Yuan anymore.


    They discovered that the battle situation was completely different from what they imagined.


    Even though Ye Yuan looked to be in perilous danger under over a dozen sword lights, the Zuo Xiang Capital City, these people, always seemed to be lacking a little.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan''s occasionally slashed out sword was accurate and fierce, always throwing one of them into confusion.


    Before long, Ye Yuan saw a chance and decisively attacked again!


    That Zuo Xiang student''s gaze revealed a look of despair, shattering the jade pendant.


    More and more other capital cities'' students gathered around. But the vast Howless Ridge became quieter and quieter.


    Time slowly trickled by, Zuo Xiang Capital City''s people became lesser and lesser.


    No idea how long had passed either, the people discovered to their shock that Zuo Xiang Capital City was actually only left with three people at goodness knows when!


    "What happened? Why do I clearly feel that Ye Yuan isn''t very formidable, but he can finish off Zuo Xiang Capital City''s people?" asked an outer-court disciple to the person next to him somewhat woodenly.


    "His sword art seems to be average. Actually, he suppressed the power of laws to a very small range. Only by coming into contact with his sword can one sense the might of his sword arts! Although his realm isn''t high, even though the power of laws of Sword Dao first-layered heaven hasn''t reached grand completion yet, his utilization of the power of laws already reached the acme of perfection!" at this time, someone beside him suddenly explained.


    "Then, how did you tell?"


    But this time, that person no longer answered him.


    He turned his head around rather curiously, his gaze suddenly turning intent.


    "Jin �� Jin Yu!"


    Hundred Cities'' number one person, Jin Yu!


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually called down this great god too.


    Jin Yu''s gaze never left Ye Yuan''s body for an instant.


    A surge of powerful fighting intent rose from his body!


    "Heh, looks like this time, Zuo Xiang Capital City has utterly stumbled! Jin Yu, you''re moved!" Another voice was heard.


    The gaze of that person previously turned intent again as he cried out in shock, "Qiu Shuisheng!"


    These two people were both the pinnacle-most existences among the hundred cities. It was said that their power of laws were already comprehended to the grand completion realm of second-layered heaven!


    In Grotto Profound Realm, they did not have opponents at all!


    Jin Yu did not turn back and just said coolly, "Didn''t you come too?"


    "Heh, I really didn''t plan on coming. Originally, I thought that it was just a clown seeking popularity by saying something sensational. In the end, I still couldn''t resist my curiosity. It''s just that, didn''t expect that this visit was an eye-opener!" Qiu Shuisheng said with a light laugh.


    "Are you going? Or me?" Jin Yu said coolly.


    "Do you have assurance?" Qiu Shuisheng answered with a question.


    Jin Yu slowly shook his head and said, "Will only know after fighting."


    Qiu Shuisheng smiled and said, "Since you came, you go then! If you can''t even beat, then I''m pretty sure I can''t win."


    Jin Yu said nonchalantly, "Alright!"


    These two people chipped in a word each, already directly casting that student who asked questions previously to one side.


    His heart was gasping with astonishment listening by the side. Jin Yu was known as the hundred cities'' number one person. Even he actually did not have assurance in dealing with Ye Yuan!


    He finally knew where Ye Yuan''s confidence in setting up the arena lay!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    Ye Yuan released three sword moves consecutively as fast as lightning, sealing off all of He Ning''s escape routes.


    He Ning''s countenance was greatly shocked, carrying intense unwillingness and crushing the jade pendant!


    At this point, the Zuo Xiang Capital City was completely wiped out!


    Ye Yuan fought the Zuo Xiang Capital City''s 15 people with his power alone and slew all of them!


    If not for the jade pendants'' transportation, none of these 15 people could be spared.


    The previous period''s top ten, the Zuo Xiang Capital City, was actually shaved bald this time. This result shocked everyone until their jaws dropped.


    Ye Yuan casually beckoned. A hundred storage rings landed on his hand.


    He examined these storage rings, a ray of light flashing in his eyes.


    The Zuo Xiang Capital City was indeed well-deserving of being a major force ranked in the top ten. The harvest was plentiful!


    Ye Yuan put these storage rings away. Surveying the surroundings, he said coolly, "Who else? You guys can also attack together!"


    One sentence immediately ignited everyone''s fury.


    These words were too arrogant, not taking them seriously at all!


    It was just that now, all of them knew that Ye Yuan had this strength and confidence!


    He was arrogant because he had the capital to be arrogant!


    "He''s just alone! Right now, we have several hundred people here! Everybody attack! I don''t believe that he can deal with it! Finish him off, everyone can divide the storage rings with individual ability!"


    At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly, immediately making everyone''s heart stir.


    But right at this time, Jin Yu moved!


    His figure shook, already arriving opposite of Ye Yuan, saying indifferently, "I''m first! If I''m defeated, it''s not late for you guys to go again!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Jin Yu rather surprisedly and said with a smile, "Looks like you''re very powerful. What''s your name?"


    [1] Idiom that references Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Relieve the besieged by besieging the besiegers.

 1402 Battling Hundred Cities Number One Person!

    "He actually doesn''t know Jin Yu!"


    "Did this guy �� pop out of a rock? These hundred over cities'' people, there''s actually still someone who doesn''t know Jin Yu!"


    "If say who has the greatest hopes of reaching the Divine Lord Realm in these hundred cities, it''s none other than Jin Yu. There''s actually someone who doesn''t know him!"


    Ye Yuan''s question made everyone burst into an uproar.


    They were unable to imagine that there was actually still someone taking part in this Hundred Cities Smelting Trial who did not know Jin Yu.


    Qiu Shuisheng was first stunned, then immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, "Perhaps this is precisely why he''s powerful!"


    Jin Yu was also stupefied and blurted out, "You don''t know me?"


    Ye Yuan also saw through from other people''s reactions. This Jin Yu did not seem to be simple. He could not help chuckling and said, "Apologies, this one entered the sect for a short time and really never heard of your esteemed self''s great name before."


    Jin Yu''s actions were worthy to be called above board and forthright, not willing to take advantage of him.


    Toward such an opponent, Ye Yuan was still respectful.


    Especially under this situation, storage rings affected the ownership of the final reward.


    But the other party clearly regarded a good opponent more highly!


    Jin Yu nodded his head, considered to have acknowledged Ye Yuan''s argument, and said, "This one is Yong Dang Capital City, Jin Yu!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "So, it''s Brother Jin! Make your move then!"


    Jin Yu said, "You just went through a big fight, better take a break first and recover some divine essence!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need, those few guys were too weak."


    Jin Yu''s heart went cold and actually could not figure out the truth and falsehood of Ye Yuan''s words for a moment.


    Was this guy posturing, or he really did not expend much energy?


    This battle just now, if it were him, he could naturally accomplish with ease too. But he absolutely would not say this kind of words.


    After all, He Ning, this level of expert, his strength was still very strong.


    Moreover, there were still 14 other Zuo Xiang Capital City''s experts.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s words, in other people''s view, were undeniably him posturing.


    "I admit that this guy is very strong. But saying this kind of words in front of the hundred cities'' number one person, Jin Yu, I seriously can''t listen any further."


    "This guy wants to keep up appearance to cover up his predicament, right?! Mn, at least if he loses, he can also say that he went through a big fight earlier! Huhu!"


    "He completely doesn''t know who Jin Yu is, and he also doesn''t know how powerful Jin Yu''s strength is. He Ning isn''t worth mentioning at all in front of Jin Yu! This guy is too condescending!"


    ...


    How could they know that while that battle earlier looked fierce, Ye Yuan''s expenditure was actually really not that much.


    Although Ye Yuan was unrestrained, wanting to challenge the hundred cities'' geniuses with his strength alone, he still attached great importance to tactics, and did not underestimate the hundred cities'' geniuses!


    To him, the final result was secondary. What he valued the most was the interaction with these hundred cities'' geniuses.


    Hence, that battle earlier, he actually fought very conservatively. Each fraction of divine essence was carefully calculated.


    Coupled with that his divine essence was incomparably refined in the first place, this degree of battle was nothing to him.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s calm eyes, Jin Yu nodded and said, "Since that''s the case, make your move then!"


    Ye Yuan did an inviting gesture, the Evil Extermination Sword suddenly attacking!


    Sundering Stars!


    Although it was Sundering Stars back and forth, this move had countless variations played by Ye Yuan.


    This time, Ye Yuan did a lifting action, going from bottom to top, cleaving Jin Yu.


    Attacks from this angle were very hard to defend.


    Jin Yu''s expression turned solemn, instantly sensing that this sword''s intensity was no idea how much stronger compared to dealing with He Ning just now.


    He did not dare to slight it. A beautiful tumble to the side, his long sword already attacked.


    However, this sword of Jin Yu''s was a straight stab, pointing at the flat of Ye Yuan''s blade from the flank with a bizarre angle.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, instantly knowing that he ran into an expert!


    Jin Yu''s comprehension toward battle was no idea how many times stronger than He Ning.


    Martial artists'' battles, even when reaching Deity Realm this level, it was not simply relative superiority or inferiority in power of laws and realm.


    It was just that powerful strength often made people neglect some subtle things.


    A battle constantly changed. Oftentimes, a ninor detail could determine the outcome of a battle.


    Ye Yuan had experienced god knows how many big and small battles, and had long already turned fighting into an instinct.


    Hence, he could grasp every detail to win.


    The battles that these academies'' geniuses had experienced were not few either. It was just that their battles were a completely different concept from the battles that Ye Yuan experienced.


    What Ye Yuan experienced were all life-and-death struggles, not allowing the slightest hint of soft-heartedness. The opponent would not give you the slightest chance as well.


    But the academies'' geniuses at most just sparred with each other. There were very few people who experienced those kinds of life-or-death struggles.


    Only by waiting for them to promote to the inner-court and go out to carry out missions would they experience that kind of life-and-death struggle.


    But even then, the battle experience of inner-court disciples also could not possibly be as rich as Ye Yuan''s.


    Very clearly, Jin Yu was not a guy who only knew how to cultivate. This aspect just now displayed his skill fully!


    Regardless of whether it was evasion or resolving his move with a tap, it all demonstrated his precise grasp of battles, without the slightest sloppiness.


    More importantly, his realm and law comprehensions were all much higher than Ye Yuan''s!


    This sword had not touched the flat of Ye Yuan''s sword yet when a golden light surfaced on Ye Yuan''s body.


    In midair, Ye Yuan forcefully changed his move!


    The essence of Sundering Stars, this move, lay in the word ''chop''.


    Jin Yu''s move was in order to break Ye Yuan''s ''chop''!


    Hence, Ye Yuan''s move change was to pull back this ''chop'' word!


    Ye Yuan''s move changed, chopping toward Jin Yu''s sword body.


    Jin Yu did not have Ye Yuan''s powerful fleshy body. He was currently in midair, unable to borrow strength, and could only toughen his scalp and exchange a blow with Ye Yuan.


    Clank!


    Two swords intersected. The two people were seemingly struck by a tremendous force, each falling back several dozens of steps.


    For the first time, someone drove Ye Yuan back!


    "Fine sword!" Jin Yu praised.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "You''re not bad as well! Again!"


    "Okay, again!" Jin Yu was also valiant.


    The two people''s figures moved swiftly, battling together once more.


    Qiu Shuisheng''s gaze revealed an incomparably stunned expression. What he was shocked by was not that Ye Yuan could fight to a draw with Jin Yu.


    It was that �� he knew that Jin Yu actually lost by half a move just now!


    Qiu Shuisheng understood Jin Yu very well and knew that this guy was a born warrior, his comprehension towards battle very high.


    In realm and laws comprehension, he was about on par with Jin Yu.


    But each time they fought, Jin Yu was always able to win him!


    What he relied on was his instinct towards battles.


    But just now, Jin Yu relied on this powerful disparity of laws comprehension and realm before fighting to a draw with Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan and Jin Yu''s strength were similar, no, as long as Ye Yuan broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound.


    This exchange earlier, Jin Yu would definitely lose!


    "Heh, I didn''t expect that Jin Yu will also have a day where he overwhelms people with power! He really met his opponent today," Qiu Shuisheng muttered to himself.


    "Opponent? Might not be so! Ye Yuan hasn''t used all his strength yet!" At this time, there was suddenly one more person by Qiu Shuisheng''s side, voicing out.

 1403 The Brave Wins When Meeting on a Narrow Path!

    Qiu Shuisheng''s brows furrowed, looking at the arrival.


    "You''re a fellow disciple of Ye Yuan?" Qiu Shuisheng asked.


    Qin Shao nodded his head and said, "His vanquished foe!"


    Qiu Shuisheng did not reveal a surprised look. To be able to be evenly-matched with Jin Yu, this one in front of him could not possibly be Ye Yuan''s match no matter what.


    "In front of Jin Yu, nobody can hold back! Furthermore �� Jin Yu didn''t exert his full strength as well!" Qiu Shuisheng said indifferently.


    Qin Shao gave him a glance and said, "Your experience doesn''t work on Ye Yuan. He is a person born to create miracles!"


    Qiu Shuisheng could not help laughing and said, "You have some jitters from imaginary fear after being defeated under Ye Yuan''s hands, right? Martial artists mustn''t lose their own heart of Martial Dao!"


    Qin Shao said nonchalantly, "You''ll know when you keep watching."


    Hearing the news of Ye Yuan battling heroes alone, Qin Shao was inexplicably amazed at first too.


    But very soon, he felt at ease.


    He knew what Ye Yuan was thinking, no occasion was more suitable to temper oneself than this place.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s method to temper himself was too capricious. Even Jin Yu did not dare to do so either.


    This guy was really crazy!


    Qin Shao was also considered to know Ye Yuan very well. Back then, him agreeing to a life-and-death battle seemed very reckless. Actually, he had absolute confidence in himself.


    Hence, he knew that this time was no exception too!


    Ye Yuan and Jin Yu, the two people, deconstructed moves upon seeing them, being tangled up in a fierce struggle, making everyone dumbfounded.


    "This Ye Yuan is actually so strong, to be able to fight to a draw with Jin Yu!"


    "When did such a formidable figure emerge from Wu Meng Capital City? We actually don''t even know!"


    "Vaulting into prominence in one battle! This battle, regardless of whether win or lose, Ye Yuan''s name shall spread throughout the hundred cities!"


    ...


    In these hundred cities'' area, Jin Yu was a benchmark. It was completely impossible for anyone to beat him.


    Qiu Shuisheng could not either!


    But today, Ye Yuan was actually able to be locked in battle with him!


    It was just that they did not know, the current Jin Yu was the same as He Ning, actually depressed to the extreme.


    It looked like the two of them were about on par, either able to do anything to the other.


    In reality, when he exchanged moves with Ye Yuan, it was completely relying on all-round surpassing in realm and laws that he could barely manage to fight to a draw.


    The more Jin Yu fought, the more alarmed he got. He had long seen through that Ye Yuan''s sword art was only that one move back and forth.


    No matter how he made his move, it was all a ''chop'' word.


    The sword was the king of a hundred weapons, with a myriad of variations!


    People who used the sword would also mostly pursue the limits of variation, using it to subdue the enemy and win.


    But Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way, forcefully changing the sword into a chopper, only knew chop chop chop!


    But Jin Yu had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan already utilized a ''chop'' word to a transcendent realm.


    Furthermore, no idea why, Jin Yu kept feeling that the divine essence gushing out from Ye Yuan''s move was grand and boundless, with a feeling of unable to overcome with force.


    His divine essence was seemingly a small rowboat in the ocean in front of Ye Yuan; he might capsize at any time.


    Hence, similarly one move, he had to use much more divine essence than Ye Yuan before he could barely manage to suppress Ye Yuan.


    This kind of feeling, he had never encountered it before.


    All in all, clearly his strength was much greater than Ye Yuan''s. Yet, he could not gain the slightest bit of advantage!


    This sort of feeling made him depressed until he wanted to vomit blood.


    In a twinkle, the two people fought for a thousand moves. You deconstruct my move, I deconstruct your move, shaving off a large chunk of the entire hilltop.


    "Can''t carry on like this anymore! Ye Yuan''s divine essence is endless, as if a boundless sea, unable to see the slightest hint of drying up! No wonder he said that no need to rest earlier! Carry on expending like this, the first to fall will definitely be me." Jin Yu was considering this in his mind as he fought.


    If outsiders knew his thoughts, they would definitely get a huge shock.


    A half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse actually lost to a late-stage Grotto Profound in divine essence. This was simply too inconceivable.


    Clank!


    Jin Yu deliberately opened up a flaw and was slashed by Ye Yuan''s sword, his body flying out backward.


    Jin Yu''s body hung in midair, without anywhere to borrow strength. How could Ye Yuan let go of such a chance? He followed up with Sundering Stars once more!


    Seeing this scene, a hint of a smile flickered across the corners of Qiu Shuisheng''s mouth and he said to Qiu Shuisheng, "Ye Yuan is losing!"


    Qin Shao was stupefied, not quite certain what it meant.


    Qiu Shuisheng smiled and said, "Ye Yuan is indeed very strong. But this move, Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels, I''m unable to crack it no matter what. Under this sort of circumstance, it''s even more impossible for Ye Yuan to resolve it."


    Ye Yuan was currently in the midst of pursuit when suddenly, his expression changed. An incredibly dangerous aura hit him head-on!


    Jin Yu''s body drew a perfect arc in midair, his longsword sweeping off the ground, his body flying up once more.


    This series of actions was done in one breath. Jin Yu''s entire person seemingly transformed into a sharp sword, charging over towards Ye Yuan.


    "Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, discovering that Jin Yu really achieved unison of man and sword!


    This move, Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels, had an indomitable imposing momentum, not stopping without seeing blood!


    Under this sword, everything was eclipsed!


    This was the true strength of the hundred cities'' number one person!


    "It''s Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels! Ye Yuan will definitely lose without a doubt!"


    "This move, Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels


    "To be able to force Jin Yu to use Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels, Ye Yuan can be sufficiently proud!"


    ...


    Under the situation where everyone thought that it was impossible, Jin Yu used his ace in the hole, Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels.


    Ye Yuan already did not have room to maneuver. The only path of survival was to crush the jade pendant!


    But right then, everyone''s faces changed once more!


    "He �� What''s he trying to do?"


    Out of every one''s expectations, under the situation where the initiative was already lost, Ye Yuan did not retreat, but he advanced instead!


    Every fraction he advanced, Ye Yuan''s aura would be a fraction stronger!


    "Sundering Stars!"


    The Evil Extermination Sword in Ye Yuan''s hand was not sluggish in the slightest, still chopping down with an indomitable will!


    The two swords had yet to intersect when two surges of overwhelming auras collided together, stirring up the surrounding divine essence into an upheaval.


    One pressed forward with an indomitable will, one had an overwhelming imposing momentum!


    It was truly a meeting on a narrow path!


    Boom!


    Two surges of refined to the extreme power of laws collided together violently.


    The air billows stirred up shook until everyone could not open their eyes!


    Two figures each flew out backward like kites with broken strings.


    Slam!


    Slam!


    The two people each fell onto the ground, smashing a deep pit in the ground.


    Everyone all held their breaths, not knowing just who won and who lost in this fight.


    Qiu Shuisheng sucked in a cold breath. He did not expect that under that kind of circumstance, Ye Yuan could still release that kind of domineering counterattack!


    Not only was Ye Yuan''s strength overpowering, but his battle will was also unyielding and dauntless.


    "Huuuu ��"


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly crawled out from inside the deep hole, bleeding all over his body, his aura chaotic, looking very miserable.


    Qin Shao gave Qiu Shuisheng a glance and said, "I wonder if after today, you still have the courage to fight with Ye Yuan or not?"

 1404 Mindse

    Qiu Shuisheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he discovered that he really could not say anything.


    Jin Yu was still defeated by Ye Yuan under the situation where he had the initiative.


    He could not even resolve Jin Yu''s Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels, let alone talk about dealing with Ye Yuan.


    Qiu Shuisheng was a proud son of heaven. Apart from Jin Yu, he did not attach importance to anyone in the land of hundred cities.


    But now, he really did not have the courage to fight with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Meeting on a narrow path, the brave wins!


    Under that kind of situation just now, anyone would probably consider how to protect themselves at the first moment.


    At least, there would be that tiny hint of hesitation.


    But Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all, chopping over with a sword just like that!


    At this time, Qiu Shuisheng unwittingly recalled Qin Shao''s words previously.


    He was a person born to create miracles!


    He was previously still very disdainful towards Qin Shao''s words. But now, he discovered that Qin Shao did not exaggerate in the slightest.


    "Take the chance while he''s ill and take his life! Kill this guy, the storage rings on him will all be ours!"


    In the crowd, no idea who suddenly shouted out, startling everyone awake all at once.


    Two consecutive great battles, a thousand people already gathered around in the vicinity!


    With this roar, immediately, there were quite a few people who had the intention of fishing in troubled waters.


    For some time, a large group of people surrounded over toward Ye Yuan.


    Not just him, there were even quite a few people who rushed over toward Jin Yu.


    "A bunch of shameless things! You guys are also fit to make a move against Jin Yu?"


    Qiu Shuisheng gave a cold snort, his figure dashing out like lightning.


    Qin Shao''s face fell as well, speeding over in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    Facing the tidewater-like students rushing over, Ye Yuan just laughed coldly. His wrist shook, Evil Extermination Sword attacked once more!


    Although his current state was not very good, that was also just relative to Jin Yu, this kind of expert.


    The fleshy body technique that Ye Yuan cultivated was the Black Tortoise Clan''s Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art.


    Even though this cultivation method did not count as some peerless divine skill in the Heavenspan World, the power of its defensive strength was absolutely not what average cultivation methods could compare to.


    The Black Tortoise Clan''s talent was that their defensive strength was astonishing. The cultivation method that they cultivated was naturally not too poor as well.


    Although that blow just now was heavy, it was not to the extent of making Ye Yuan lose his combat power yet.


    Dealing with these trash, he still had the strength to spare.


    Swish!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and chopped. The powerful force made the faces of those few meeting it head-on greatly astonished.


    They completely did not expect it. Ye Yuan was already injured until like this, he could actually still release such a swift and fierce attack.


    Caught off-guard, that person right at the front did not even get to crush the jade pendant and was eradicated by Ye Yuan.


    The few people at the back had no time to run at all and only had time to crush the jade pendant, transporting back to the altar.


    "No need to be afraid, he''s already an arrow at the end of its flight, deliberately using this sword to scare people! Kill him!" In the crowd, no idea who shouted loudly again.


    The flood of people who originally paused slightly because of this sword pounced toward Ye Yuan once again.


    The corner of Ye Yuan''s mouth sneered coldly, not taking this seriously at all.


    One comes, he would kill one.


    Two come, he would kill a pair!


    These people were all harboring hopes of getting lucky, thinking that Ye Yuan was already at the end of his rope.


    How could they know the terror of Ye Yuan''s cultivation method? This bit of consumption was nothing to him at all.


    Even if his divine essence already did not have much left, the time it lasts would still exceed all of their expectations.


    Ye Yuan waved his sword continuously, reaping these outer-court disciples'' lives without restraint.


    But in the crowd, a viper-like gaze was watching Ye Yuan close.


    His realm strength was no different from the others. It appeared very ordinary in the crowd. Nobody would pay attention to him at all.


    But at this time, he came to Ye Yuan''s back along with the crowd!


    Following that, he brazenly attacked!


    Qin Shao''s heart suddenly stirred, seeing a familiar figure, his gaze revealing a look of astonishment.


    "Ye Yuan, be careful at the back!" Qin Shao shouted.


    But right at this time, a powerful aura arrived with a howl!


    "Qin Yuanlong, you dare?!"


    This figure was none other than precisely the Thundercry who came from afar!


    When he heard the news of Ye Yuan challenging all heroes, he knew that Qin Yuanlong definitely came here.


    But he never thought that he would see the scene of Qin Yuanlong sneaking into the crowd and ambushing Ye Yuan when he just arrived!


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan was Wu Meng Academy''s student with the greatest potential. It even surpassed Qin Tian''s already.


    Before departing, Wen Yiyang specially ordered to definitely keep a lookout for Qin Yuanlong and not let him deal with Ye Yuan.


    He did not expect that this guy still escaped!


    An Origin Deity powerhouse ambushing the Grotto Profound Realm Ye Yuan, this already did not have any suspense.


    Qin Yuanlong mingled in the crowd and was too close to Ye Yuan. He did not give Ye Yuan a chance to crush the jade pendant at all!


    A hint of a hideous smile flashed across the corners of Qin Yuanlong''s mouth. Finally could kill Ye Yuan!


    This punk who made the Qin Family utterly lose face could finally go and die.


    It was just too bad that Ye Yuan had his back to him at this time. He could not see the mocking smile on Ye Yuan''s face.


    Boom!


    Qin Yuanlong only felt a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly disappeared.


    His palm directly hit thin air, landed on those students opposite of Ye Yuan.


    How powerful was the palm of an Origin Deity powerhouse? Those students directly had a large swarm exterminated by Qin Yuanlong being caught unawares.


    Everyone was stunned. Where did Ye Yuan go?


    Qin Yuanlong''s scalp exploded. He discovered that he seemed to have overlooked an extremely important thing!


    Not just him, everyone overlooked it.


    Ye Yuan knew sword maneuvering flight!


    "Teacher Qin, are you very disappointed? You all are also too careless, to actually forget that I know sword maneuvering flight!" In midair, Ye Yuan looked at Qin Yuanlong and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Qin Yuanlong''s face was livid, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of killing intent.


    Such an important intel was actually overlooked by them!


    No, it was actually that Ye Yuan deliberately guided them to overlook it.


    Ever since after the battle with Qin Shao, Ye Yuan never displayed the ability of sword maneuvering flight in front of people anymore.


    In a flash, six to seven years went by, Ye Yuan had always been fighting with people on the ground and had never exhibited this ability.


    Due to this, everyone all overlooked this fact!


    After all, being unable to fly while being below the Divine Lord Realm was the Heavenspan World''s common sense.


    This kind of mindset was deeply ingrained in people''s thinking; very hard to eradicate.


    Seven years ago, Ye Yuan''s astonishing flight had indeed stunned everyone. But later, Ye Yuan''s Sundering Stars was even more eye-catching that sword maneuvering flight.


    "Sword maneuvering flight! Ye Yuan actually knows sword maneuvering flight! My god, just how monstrous is this guy?"


    "This fellow concealed too deeply! With this move, he''s already established in an undefeatable position!"


    "I didn''t expect it! Really didn''t expect it! The land of hundred cities'' number one genius actually changed owners just like this!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s breathtaking fly aroused everyone''s shock once more.


    Forget about the land of hundred cities, even the land of thousand cities, land of ten thousand cities, might not produce a genius capable of comprehending sword maneuvering flight either!


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    "Qin Yuanlong, you disregarded your status and attempted to assassinate an academy''s disciple! This matter, I''ll definitely inform City Lord, His Excellency! You, be prepared for a reckoning!"


    Thundercry''s angry roar sounded at this time.

 1405 Harvesting

    Qin Yuanlong''s expression changed several times. He naturally knew the consequences of this matter.


    But Qin Nantian had long already hated Ye Yuan to the bones. This trip, the price expended in order to kill Ye Yuan was not small.


    Returning empty-handed, he had no way of giving an account to Qin Nantian.


    "Humph! This Qin had long found this punk displeasing to the eye, so what if kill him? From this day forth, I, Qin Yuanlong, renounce Wu Meng Capital City and turn my back on the Qin Family! Farewell!"


    Done talking, Qin Yuanlong turned right around and left.


    Thundercry''s expression changed, not expecting that Qin Yuanlong was actually so decisive.


    "Humph! Want to leave? How can it be that easy?! Since you''ve turned your back on the Qin Family, ambushing my Wu Meng Academy''s disciple and disrupting the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, you deserve the death penalty!"


    Thundercry gave a cold snort, his figure moving swiftly, charging over towards Qin Yuanlong.


    Qin Yuanlong did not think that Thundercry was actually so unrelenting, speeding away into the distance with a scurry.


    The two people, one chased, one fled, disappeared in everyone''s line of sight very quickly.


    This series of unforeseen changes were seriously too fast, catching everyone off-guard.


    In a hidden corner, Qin Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred as he watched this scene, his expression ugly to the extreme.


    Failed again!


    Could it be that this guy was unkillable?


    Why did the Qin Family scheme meticulously and even send out an Origin Deity Realm expert, and still unable to kill him?!


    Clearly just a Grotto Profound Realm rookie, so why could he not be killed?


    Not only could he not be killed, the Qin Family even lost a direct lineage disciple and an Origin Deity Realm academy teacher!


    This price was too heavy!


    "Big Brother Qin Tian, what �� should we do?" Qin Zheng asked.


    "Let''s go!" Qin Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    He knew that in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, they had no chances at all already.


    This match was ultimately still a complete miss!


    Ye Yuan maneuvered the sword and slowly landed, saying with a light smile, "You guys, each and every one of you, can forget about running."


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, directly sweeping a sword out, felling a large group.


    How could those students who had designs on him previously still dare to stay? Each and every one scattered like birds and wild animals.


    Ye Yuan hacked and killed, directly eradicating several dozen people. The remainder all ran.


    Hence, Ye Yuan started cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the storage rings left behind.


    This battle, the harvests were abundant.


    The storage rings in his hands were more than 500 in total already.


    What was even more liberating for him was that Qin Yuanlong this fellow withdrew from the Qin Family himself. It was also considered to have made the Qin Family lose a general.


    This Qin Yuanlong thought that he hid very well. Actually, his every movement and action was all under Dustless'' surveillance.


    When he ambushed, Ye Yuan had long made the preparations for sword maneuvering flight.


    Sword maneuvering flight''s speed was very fast. Evading Qin Yuanlong''s sneak attack under the circumstances where he was prepared was nothing.


    While at this time, Jin Yu hobbled in front of Ye Yuan with the help of Qiu Shuisheng.


    He took out his own storage ring, passed it to Ye Yuan, and said, "I lost! This is yours!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and received the storage ring. This was his spoils of war, he had no reason to refuse it.


    "I really didn''t expect that the Wu Meng Capital City actually produced a genius like you! I was defeated utterly convincedly!" Jin Yu sighed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re very strong too! But although your laws are strong, it''s still a little weak in terms of utilization. Given time, you''re bound to be a region''s absolute ruler!"


    If it were before, Ye Yuan saying these words in front of Jin Yu would definitely be thought of as crazy by people.


    But now, nobody would feel brusque, even Qiu Shuisheng did not feel so too.


    Ye Yuan had the qualifications to lecture Jin Yu like this!


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao first-layered heaven had yet to reach grand completion, but he could defeat the strong with the weak. It was because his application of Sword Dao laws had reached a transcendent realm!


    In this aspect, Jin Yu was not just a tiny bit worse than him.


    Ye Yuan comprehending the sword in the Sword Tomb, what he comprehended was not just Sword Dao laws, he was even comprehending the stories behind the laws.


    Inside the Sword Tomb, each sword had its story.


    It was precisely because so that Ye Yuan could create Sundering Stars, such a powerful martial technique.


    Sundering Stars was a martial technique that Ye Yuan comprehended that maximized the power of Sword Dao laws. Its degree of power could only be imagined.


    Jin Yu clasped his hands and said, "Got it! Today''s battle, this Jin broadened his horizons and gleaned considerable gains! Especially the last sword move, it will probably have a tremendous impact on my life!"


    Ye Yuan''s final sword was absolutely a sword that set the world on fire.


    This sword, what it displayed was not just a martial technique, but the all-round strength manifestation of Ye Yuan''s Martial Dao will, laws utilization, divine essence thickness, and so on.


    Rather than saying Ye Yuan won with Sundering Stars, it was better to say that Ye Yuan won with his determination to absolutely win!


    If it were others, even if their strength was identical to Ye Yuan''s, they completely could not achieve that step too!


    Jin Yu''s words did not have any intention of flattering. Ye Yuan''s final sword virtually subverted his understanding toward Martial Dao.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Those guys have already ran away, so I have to go hunt them down. There are quite a few storage rings in their hands. I got to go and collect them. Farewell!"


    Jin Yu and Qiu Shuisheng, the two people, clasped their hands and said, "Farewell!"


    Swoosh, swoosh ��


    Ye Yuan casually threw out a hundred storage rings and flew straight to Qin Shao.


    "Thanks, Brother!"


    Qin Shao''s actions landed in his sights. Even though this guy was born in the Qin Family, he was completely different from the Qin Family''s people''s personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance.


    He was defeated at his hands. That kind of situation just now, he still voiced out to warn, it was truly not easy.


    These storage rings, just take it as a bit of thanks then.


    Ye Yuan did not give Qin Shao a chance to speak, directly maneuvering the sword and flying away.


    Watching Ye Yuan''s profile disappear into the horizons, Qiu Shuisheng said with a sigh, "This guy isn''t to be trifled with! Once provoked, one will probably have nightmares every day."


    Jin Yu nodded his head and said, "Avenging grievances when there are grievances, avenging enmity when there is enmity, repaying kindness when there is kindness, acting according to his nature, not violating his consciousness. This is the Dao of Might! This Ye Yuan, a measly Wu Meng Capital City probably can''t trap him!"


    Qiu Shuisheng came in front of Qin Shao and said with clasped hands, "Brother, apologies! Previously, my words have offended, please don''t take offense!"


    Qin Shao said coolly, "No harm! This guy''s strength is too baffling. Not truly exchanging blows with him, you forever won''t know how strong he is!"


    Qiu Shuisheng secretly nodded, deeply acknowledging Qin Shao''s words too.


    ...


    The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was set as a year. The remaining time, all of the outer-court disciples sunk into a nightmare.


    A devil who rode the wind and rode a sword might appear beside them at any time, reaping their lives.


    They all knew Ye Yuan''s prowess. At the start, they all found a place and hide, not daring to come out.


    But later, they discovered to their dismay that no matter how they hid, Ye Yuan could always accurately find their locations.


    Hence, a massacre unfolded in the outer-court region.


    Later, those people seriously could not live on in the outer-court region and could only escape to the inner-court region one after another.


    However, Ye Yuan rode the sword to flow. Even when inner-court disciples saw him, they could not do anything to him at all.


    Of course, there were those with good luck too, finding their senior brothers and sisters, before barely managing to preserve their lives.


    In a blink, a year''s time was up. The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial was already drawing near its end.

 1406 Ownership of the Four-star Divine Pill

    On the altar plaza, one figure after another was being transported back,


    During previous trials, the later it was, the fewer people sent back.


    But this time, there were still people being transported non-stop.


    "You still ran into that malefic star in the end?"


    "Isn''t that so! No idea what method that guy used either, I clearly already hid very covertly, but was still found by him!"


    "Me too! This malefic star is too vengeful. I was very far away from him at that time. There was no chance to make a move at all and he still didn''t let me go."


    "You don''t know it. Later on, as long as everybody sees him, they directly crush the jade pendant. This malefic star kills on sight, completely unreasonable."


    An outer-court disciple was just transported back, so he started chatting with his fellow disciples who were finished off by Ye Yuan previously.


    Upon mentioning Ye Yuan, each and every one of their faces all revealed an extremely depressed look.


    In the entire plaza, several thousand students taking part in the trial were virtually all talking about Ye Yuan.


    The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, Ye Yuan alone shone in the limelight.


    Virtually everyone lived in his shadow.


    At this time, a virtual image descended from the sky. It was precisely Xuan Ling!


    Xuan Ling''s gaze swept slightly and said nonchalantly, "The hour has arrived! Everyone return!"


    Finished talking, he flicked his sleeves grandly. All of the altars flickered with light, summoning all of the remaining people back.


    Ye Yuan just felt a blur before his eyes and returned back on the altar once again.


    "How is it, Ye Yuan? You wouldn''t �� really have finished off everybody, right?" Little Fatty asked curiously.


    When Ye Yuan challenged everyone, he settled Little Fatty down in a concealed place.


    He knew that the Qin Family would definitely target him. If he brought Little Fatty by his side, it would definitely be very dangerous.


    Now, the trial ended. Little Fatty came back together with Ye Yuan and did not know what happened in the outside world.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Xie, your relationship is the closest with Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. You actually don''t know his earth-shaking record?" A Wu Meng''s inner-court student poked fun at him.


    Little Fatty looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and said, "Y-Y-You �� really did it?"


    That inner-court student laughed and said, "More than just did it! Ye Yuan challenged the entire Zuo Xiang Capital City''s outer-court 15 people with his sword alone, completely annihilating the other party! Then, under the circumstances where he did not rest, he defeated the hundred cities'' number one person, Jin Yu! Following which, under the circumstances where he was seriously injured, he killed until everybody threw away their helmets and armor, running wildly all over the place!"


    When he spoke, he intentionally raised his voice.


    Next to them were Zuo Xiang Capital City''s students. Hearing these words, each and every one of them was depressed until they wanted to vomit blood.


    When Wu Meng Capital City''s students heard this, they all guffawed with laughter.


    This time, they really walked with their heads held high!


    The Hundred Cities Smelting Trial took place once every 300 years. Every time, Wu Meng Capital City was targeted by Zuo Xiang Capital City, losing very tragically.


    But this time, Ye Yuan alone won back some ground, directly shaving them bald. How could this not make them feel great?


    But at this time, Little Fatty jumped up all at once, pointed at Ye Yuan, and said angrily, "You are really too treacherous! I said that I wanted to go together with you, but you just refused! Such a spectacular sight, Lord Fatty, I, actually missed it! Sniff, sniff ��"


    Little Fatty had an aggrieved look. Clearly, he was regretting missing such a grand occasion immensely.


    "If you went, you might already be a corpse!"


    Lin Xiu''s voice suddenly sounded out behind Little Fatty, making him jump in fright.


    "Xiu �� Senior Apprentice Sister, where �� did this come from?" Little Fatty said puzzledly.


    Lin Xiu let out a sigh and briefly recounted the incident of Qin Yuanlong sneak attacking Ye Yuan.


    "Pooh! The Qin Family''s people are indeed all still so shameless! To actually do such a shameless thing! Doing this sort of thing in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, they have utterly lost their face! Everyone says not to wash your dirty linen in public, but they are good, directly making it known throughout a hundred capital cities!" After Little Fatty finished listening, he spat indignantly.


    Ye Yuan did not turn back and he was able to feel that there were several murderous gazes at the back.


    Little Fatty clearly saw it too. Eyes glaring, he said disdainfully, "What? Did this kind of thing that will leave a stink for a thousand years and still don''t let people say? If you have the capability, come and bite me!"


    Qin Tian''s gaze sharpened and he said in a cold voice, "Damn fatty, I''ve remembered you!"


    "Yoo, threatening Lord Fatty? Did Lord Fatty grow up being frightened?" Xie Jingyi said without showing weakness in the slightest.


    By the side, Lin Xiu''s brows furrowed but did not say anything.


    "Qin Tian, you shut your mouth for me! This matter won''t end because of Qin Yuanlong''s death. Your Qin Family must give the academy an account!" by the side, Thundercry said in a solemn voice.


    After that day, Thundercry pursued Qin Yuanlong for two months, finally executing him under his palm.


    Although Qin Yuanlong shouldered all of the blame that day, even an idiot knew that this matter could not get away from the Qin Family.


    Qin Tian''s face fell and he controlled his temper and said, "Teacher Thundercry, since Qin Yuanlong has already turned his back on the Qin Family, what he did has nothing to do with my Qin Family! Isn''t it rather biased for you to do so?!"


    Thundercry smiled coldly and said, "Heh, how this matter will be ruled, that''s City Lord, His Excellency''s business! But the events here, I''ll report them truthfully!"


    Qin Tian could not help choking up when he heard that and could only stop speaking.


    Clearly, Qin Yuanlong''s actions already thoroughly infuriated this teacher.


    At this time, Xuan Ling''s voice sounded out once more, saying slowly: "Alright, the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time ends here. Now, I''ll examine your storage rings and distribute the rewards for this trial."


    While talking, Xuan Ling''s gaze actually looked over at Ye Yuan''s side; no one knew if it was consciously or unconsciously.


    Not seeing him take any action either, all of the storage rings broke free of the students'' body on their own, flying in front of Xuan Ling.


    With just a glance, Xuan Ling finished checking all of the storage rings and called out: "Inner-court disciples'' first place, Yong Dang Capital City''s Bi Tianzhou, obtained a total of 621 stalks of Tier 2 spirit medicines!"


    "It''s indeed Bi Tianzhou! Yong Dang Capital City is too strong. The inner-court has Bi Tianzhou, outer-court has Jin Yu. These two people are simply unsurpassable existences!"


    "Heh, that''s in the past! Didn''t Ye Yuan emerge this time? Jin Yu has already lost to him."


    "No idea how many Tier 1 spirit medicines Ye Yuan obtained in the end. Five stalks of Tier 1 spirit medicines can offset one stalk of Tier 2 spirit medicines. Wonder who the Four-star divine pill this time will end up with!"


    "Should be Yong Dang Capital City still, right? No matter how formidable Ye Yuan is, it''s also just one person. Yong Dang Capital City has more people than just Bi Tianzhou! Even though Jin Yu was defeated, the inner-court disciples'' total amount of Tier 2 spirit medicines is also quite a lot."


    ...


    After Xuan Ling announced Bi Tianzhou''s results, it immediately aroused a wave of speculation.


    Actually, the inner-court''s first place and outer-court''s first place did not have any suspense. The only suspense was the ownership of this Four-star divine pill!


    In terms of value, five stalks of Tier 1 spirit medicines naturally could not compare to one stalk of Tier 2 spirit medicine.


    But in this smelting trial, the difficulty in obtaining Tier 1 spirit medicines was not too different from Tier 2 spirit medicines.


    5-to-1, this ratio was what everyone could still accept.


    At this time, Xuan Ling continued, saying, "Yong Dang Capital City obtained 2126 stalks of Tier 2 spirit medicines in the end! 1000 stalks of Tier 1 spirit medicines!"

 1407 The City Lords Attitude

    "It''s indeed still Yong Dang Capital City''s foundation that is deep! Their might is not just because of Bi Tianzhou alone, but it is their overall strength being powerful."


    "For Wu Meng Capital City to want to surpass them, the difficulty is likely quite high."


    "No idea how many people Ye Yuan killed either, and just how many spirit medicines he has in his hands."


    ...


    Everyone was very curious about just how many spirit medicines Ye Yuan had on hand.


    According to the ratio of 5-to-1, Ye Yuan needed to reach at least 10 thousand stalks of spirit medicines and above to have a possibility of winning.


    This figure was unimaginable in the past Hundred Cities Smelting Trials.


    After Ye Yuan obtained the storage rings, he would transfer the other people''s spirit medicines all into his own storage ring.


    Hence, nobody knew just how many spirit medicines he acquired either.


    Right then, Xuan Ling slowly opened his mouth.


    "Outer-court''s first place, Wu Meng Capital City''s Ye Yuan, obtained a total of �� 21,300 stalks of Tier 1 spirit medicines!"


    The moment Xuan Ling''s voice faded, the entire plaza burst into an uproar all at once.


    According to the ratio of 5-to-1, the spirit medicines that Ye Yuan alone obtained, surpassed Yong Dang Capital City''s by one-fold!


    "Just how many people did this guy kill?!"


    "Didn''t expect it! I really didn''t expect it! Wu Meng Capital City actually produced such a freak!"


    "So strong at late-stage Grotto Profound already. When he breaks through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm, what would it be like?"


    "Before the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time, probably nobody would have thought that Wu Meng Capital City could obtain first place, right?"


    ...


    They all did not know that Ye Yuan killed a total of 2000 people in these last three months!


    Even if each person only had ten stalks of spirit medicines in their hands, adding it up also had 20 thousand in number.


    With Ye Yuan''s sword maneuvering flight plus the extensiveness of Dustless''s divine sense, he was simply ever-victorious under this kind of situation.


    Even if you hid any more covertly, as long as you entered Dustless''s detection range, it could not escape a death word.


    Xuan Ling waved a hand, three streaks of light flew out.


    Two of them flew toward Ye Yuan, the other flew toward Bi Tianzhou.


    "These are your rewards!" Xuan Ling said coolly.


    In front of Ye Yuan were two jade boxes. One of them was a little smaller, the other slightly narrower.


    Clearly, the smaller one was that Four-star divine pill, while the narrower one was naturally the Weeping Spirit Fruit.


    About the function of this Weeping Spirit Fruit, Ye Yuan had heard Dustless say before too, it was indeed good stuff.


    This Weeping Spirit Fruit was a heaven and earth spiritual item, containing massive spiritual energy inside. It was even much stronger than ordinary medicinal pills.


    Consuming a Weeping Spirit Fruit was equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation!


    Ten Weeping Spirit Fruits could let Ye Yuan break through to grand completion Grotto Profound no matter what.


    Ye Yuan put away the two items and said to Xuan Ling with clasped hands, "Thank you, Lord Xuan Ling!"


    Xuan Ling gave Ye Yuan a deeply profound glance and said with a smile, "That''s what you all deserve! Ye Yuan, you''re very good. When you leave the capital city in the future, you can come to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to find me."


    Xuan Ling''s words made everyone''s expression turn austere.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, that was the administrator of Wu Meng Capital City!


    Its might was simply what they all could not imagine.


    To these students, their lifelong wish was to enter Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    In their mind, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was a holyland-like existence.


    These Hundred Cities Smelting Trial had been held for no idea how many times, but Lord Xuan Ling had never said such words before.


    But this time, he made an exception and opened his mouth!


    This showed that he really had the appreciation of a talent stirred.


    At this time, all the students used extremely envious gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    Even Bi Tianzhou''s gaze also had an additional trace of weird look.


    "Alright, the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time ends here. You all go back then!"


    Xuan Ling finished talking, kneading seals with both hands. The hundreds of altars activated at the same time. Everyone''s figures disappeared from the mystic realm.


    ...


    After the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, the news of Wu Meng Capital City seizing first place spread throughout the entire Wu Meng Capital City very quickly like the wind.


    Wu Meng Capital City''s strength had always been unremarkable among these hundred cities.


    Not considered very weak but also absolutely not considered strong.


    Hundred cities'' first place, this sort of thing, had never been related to Wu Meng Capital City.


    But this time, Wu Meng Capital City actually overpowered Yong Dang Capital City, becoming the hundred cities'' first place.


    This news was too exciting.


    "Ye Yuan is really too awesome! He sent Wu Meng Capital City up to the throne of first place with his power alone!"


    "Still remember when he just entered the academy back then, everybody still thought that his strength was weak. Didn''t expect that just ten years or so passed, he already soared to the sky with one bound."


    "He even defeated Jin Yu. In Grotto Profound Deity Realm, he no longer has any opponents, right?"


    ...


    Within the academy, there were people praising Ye Yuan everywhere.


    Back then, even though Ye Yuan defeating Qin Shao was astonishing, that was just Wu Meng Academy''s internal affairs.


    But now, it was different. Ye Yuan obtained first place in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, completely with a sweeping attitude.


    In the City Lord Manor, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance sat in the hall.


    In front of him was the academy head, Wen Yiyang, and Thundercry.


    Thundercry bowed his body, recounting the incident of Qin Yuanlong assassinating Ye Yuan, saying indignantly, "City Lord, the Qin Family is simply too much! No matter what grievances they have with Ye Yuan, using this sort of method to deal with a Grotto Profound Realm student seriously makes people despise!"


    Actually, the enmity between the Qin Family and Ye Yuan, everyone was aware of right and wrong.


    The Qin Family was used to being overbearing. They could not stomach the smallest bit of offense.


    Wu Meng City Lord said coolly, "Wen Yiyang, what do you think?"


    Wen Yiyang clasped his hands and said, "City Lord, Ye Yuan is a genius hard to come by in 100 thousand years. His significance to our Wu Meng Capital City is self-evident! The Qin Family was indeed a little too much this time."


    Wen Yiyang as the academy head, for such a genius to be able to be produced under him, he naturally cherished Ye Yuan immensely.


    The Qin Family''s actions had already touched his bottom line.


    Wu Meng City Lord fell into a long silence. Wen Yiyang and Thundercry did not dare to say anymore. The two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the puzzlement in the other party''s eyes.


    This matter was too obvious, it did not seem to need additional considerations, right?


    If a lesson was not taught to the Qin Family with even this incident, they would be even more reckless and unscrupulous in the future.


    Only after a long time did Wu Meng City Lord slowly say, "The Qin Family''s action was not appropriate, but since Qin Yuanlong has already turned his back on the Qin Family and was killed by Thundercry, this matter is already settled. The City Lord Manor has no excuse to find trouble with the Qin Family again as well. The Qin Family is Wu Meng Capital City''s senior family clan and has performed outstanding contributions for Wu Meng Capital City before. We mustn''t easily jump the gun. This matter ends here! This seat will warn the Qin Family and let them pay attention to it. This time, Ye Yuan performed notable merits for the capital city and even won for this seat the Four-star Awakening Divine Pill. You guys give Ye Yuan a good reward."


    Wen Yiyang was shocked inwardly, not expecting that City Lord, His Excellency, brushed his matter over so casually.


    City Lord''s meaning was to reduce a big trouble into a small one, and a small one into nothing.


    Although the Qin Family was deeply entrenched in Wu Meng Capital City, City Lord did not need to be so fearful either, right?


    Handling it like this was naturally nothing to Wen Yiyang. But he was worried that Ye Yuan would have some opinions because of this!

 1408 Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone

    A warm current flowed in Ye Yuan''s abdomen. His divine sea was currently in the midst of slowly expanding.


    This was the fifth Weeping Spirit Fruit that he swallowed. He finally found the opportunity to break through.


    At this time, he was currently breaking through the bottleneck, further expanding the divine sea!


    Ye Yuan''s divine sea exuded an archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life. It was as if it came from ancient times.


    The Weeping Spirit Fruit''s strength was being continuously refined by the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, pouring into his divine sea.


    Finally, the divine sea started expanding outwards, expanding, forcefully expanding the space of Ye Yuan''s dantian area by a great deal.


    With this expansion, the divine sea became empty all at once.


    Then, Ye Yuan started to frantically absorb the outside world''s spiritual energy, pouring it into the divine sea.


    No idea how long had passed either, everything quietened down.


    "This Chaos Heavenspan Canon truly seizes the good fortune of heaven and earth! The divine essence inside your divine sea is getting thicker and thicker, almost becoming a starchy paste already! The thickness of this divine essence may be rated as invincible within the same realm!" Dustless said with an emotional sigh.


    Other people''s divine sea was akin to a vast ocean.


    But the divine essence inside Ye Yuan''s divine sea was extremely thick, already almost turning into a lump of paste.


    This was also to say that when the realm was the same, the thickness of Ye Yuan''s divine essence was what others were unable to match.


    Ye Yuan said, "In a blink, already cultivated to grand completion first level. It looks like the mission for the period of time next is to create the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s second level. It''s just that so many years have passed, I still don''t have any leads at all."


    These few years, Ye Yuan had always been trying to create the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s second level but had ended without any fruits.


    Ye Yuan knew that the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of creating this cultivation method.


    In particular, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, this cultivation method, had once triggered a heaven and earth phenomenon. The difficulty was even more conceivable.


    The more profound the comprehensive, the clearer one needed to be about Heavenly Dao, and overall understanding. This absolutely took time and effort.


    Ye Yuan''s Grotto Profound Realm was not yet perfected. His understanding of Heavenly Dao was still stagnated at the comprehension of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and was naturally unable to create the second level.


    Now, Ye Yuan already cultivated to Grotto Profound to the grand completion. The biggest goal of the next step was to create the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s second level[1].


    "You should go out to experience and temper. Shutting yourself in the room to make a cart, this second level cultivation method probably isn''t so easy to create." Dustless suggested him.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed. After coming to the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, too much time was on closed-seclusion cultivation. It''s precisely because of that I would go and take part in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial this time. The battle with Jin Yu, I still gained quite a lot."


    Dustless nodded and said, "Mn, it''s good that you have this idea. But there''s something that you still have to take heed of."


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "Senior, please say."


    Dustless said, "The Soul Suppressing Pearl can protect Mu Lingxue, that lass''s spiritual consciousness from extinguishing. But it doesn''t mean that it can let her spiritual consciousness forever not extinguish! My state, you''re also aware. I could only recover some power by borrowing those evil spirits'' strengths. But I''m still too far away from my peak state."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he said with a frown, "Senior, why didn''t you tell me this in the past?"


    Dustless smiled and said, "What can you do if I tell you? To you, the biggest task is to cultivate! Some things, I''ll naturally tell you when the time comes."


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, "Then what should I do now?"


    Dustless said, "Go find Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones! The impurities of evil spirits are too many, unable to support my maintaining this lass''s spiritual consciousness for a long time. Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are a good tool to nourish the divine soul and can help me restore my strength further. As long as my divine soul recovers to Two-star, I can preserve this girl''s divine soul from extinguishing for ten thousand years!"


    Ye Yuan''s heart sunk and he said, "Only ten thousand years?"


    Ye Yuan knew that the cultivation in the future will probably easily require several hundred or thousands of years. Ten thousand year''s time was really not considered very long.


    Dustless nodded and said, "Once a person dies, the spiritual consciousness dissipating is nature''s maxim. Maintaining her spiritual consciousness from extinguishing goes against the heavens to begin with. Unless one can reach Dao Ancestor, that kind of height, otherwise, nobody can ensure that her spiritual consciousness won''t dissipate at all! Your current strength can barely enter the martial arts world to experience and temper, and search for Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones in the martial arts world. Your state in the past, telling you this kind of thing won''t have any use apart from interfering with your cultivation."


    Ye Yuan admitted that if Dustless told him this news earlier, it would indeed have affected his cultivation.


    More haste, less talk. Ye Yuan knew that Mu Lingxue''s spiritual consciousness could not be imperishable and would be bound to be overly eager for success. The impact on his future would probably be very great.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Senior, I''ll go to the academy to accept missions right now, and enter the martial arts world!"


    Ye Yuan knew that the academy''s inner-court students could accept missions and go out to train.


    Some were like Wang Song, appointed as a region''s city lord.


    However, Wang Song they all did not have confidence in themselves or had no courage to enter the martial arts world.


    Powerhouses who truly had strength would enter the martial arts world to train, completing the missions provided by the academy.


    And the Immortal Grove World was one of the martial arts worlds!


    The Heavenspan World had existed for God knows how many billions of years. The powerhouses accumulated were goodness knows how many.


    One had to know that being able to cultivate to the Divine Lord Realm, one could hew open an inner-world, going a step further to derive a small world. That was the martial arts world.


    Hence, the Heavenspan World had many spatial rifts that were all connected to martial arts worlds.


    Those ownerless martial arts worlds were the perfect places for Heavenspan World powerhouses to explore and seek treasures.


    Because each martial arts world had its own unique aspect. It might give birth to natural treasures unavailable in the Heavenspan World.


    Some far back era martial arts worlds, it might be left behind by a Heavenly Emperor, even a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor. Inside might contain the cultivation methods and supreme treasures left behind by these major powers.


    Once obtained by people with heaven-defying destiny, they could even leap over the dragon gate.


    Apart from this, martial arts worlds still had something that everyone coveted: the Dao Fruit!


    Powerhouses above Divine Lord Realm would condense a Dao Fruit belonging to them.


    They would normally hide the Dao Fruit in their own small world to nurture. Once an explorer obtained the Dao Fruit, that was truly soaring to the skies in one move.


    Just like Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, he ascended to Heavenly Emperor one step ahead of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove because he obtained a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.


    Of course, martial arts worlds also contained enormous dangers. A single mishap and one would perish, their Dao disappearing.


    Firstly, Deity Realm powerhouses also existed in martial arts worlds. Some were even very powerful.


    Secondly, there were also some danger zones in martial arts worlds, such as the Immortal Grove World''s Godsfall Mountain Range.


    Quite a number of martial artists never came out again after venturing in.


    Dustless said, "No rush. I know that you''re worried about that lass, but I have a score in my heart. There''s probably still some time before you breakthrough to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. But before going to a martial arts world, cultivate Sword Dao laws to grand completion first-layered heaven first, thoroughly completing this Sundering Stars move!"


    [1] I also don''t understand why the previous paragraph says not perfected, but this paragraph says already reach grand completion. Think author made a mistake somewhere.

 1409 Grudge

    At Ye Yuan''s residence, Thundercry''s face was rather awkward.


    When in the Mystic realm, he still flared up and solemnly vowed to Qin Tian, to have the Qin Family give an account.


    Who knew that now, it was all talk and no action; no more follow up.


    "Ye Yuan, you made great contributions to Wu Meng Academy and the capital city. These are the rewards that City Lord gave you!" Thundercry said.


    The academy''s rewards were not ungenerous: 150 thousand points, plus 50 Tier 2 low-grade divine pills, plus a profound divine artifact battle armor!


    The 100 thousand points awarded to Ye Yuan previously were already pretty much depleted by him.


    These 150 thousand points, to Ye Yuan it was as if delivering charcoal in the snow.


    And a profound divine artifact battle armor could even have the effect of defending against the attack of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Except, Ye Yuan was not so easy to fool, and said with a faint smile, "I didn''t expect that the Qin Family''s ability is actually so great. Doing this sort of thing and actually still made Teacher Thundercry run into a wall."


    Thundercry did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so smart, actually seeing through the whole thing so quickly.


    He was originally still planning on fighting a quick battle to end things fast and slip away after giving Ye Yuan these rewards.


    Looking at it now, he could not avoid it.


    Since Ye Yuan exposed it, Thundercry had nothing to hide either, heaving a sigh. He said, "The Qin Family is one of Wu Meng Capital City''s oldest families. A Wu Meng Capital City''s city lord had even once emerged from that family before! The Qin Family''s forces span every corner of the entire Wu Meng Capital City. Even if City Lord, His Excellency, wants to touch them, he would also have to weigh it over."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So that''s how it is. Thank you, Teacher Thundercry, for making a trip!"


    Thundercry froze. He originally thought that Ye Yuan would rebuke him in a fit of rage, saying that he failed to act.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan just casually brushed it off.


    This Ye Yuan was really different from the rest.


    Thundercry let out a long sigh. If Ye Yuan kept on pressing, he would not know how to answer instead.


    "Huhu, too courteous! Hope that you don''t have any thoughts and just cultivate well. After all, this Wu Meng Capital City, it''s still City Lord, His Excellency, who calls the shots!" Thundercry said with an embarrassed smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Ye Yuan understands! After some time, I plan on going out to train and won''t disappoint Teacher Thundercry."


    Thundercry''s expression could not help changing when he heard that and said, "Going out to train? You just broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound not long. It''s not too late to go out and train after breaking through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm! Going out to train right now is too dangerous!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Teacher Thundercry, rest assured. Ye Yuan has a score in his heart."


    When Thundercry saw that Ye Yuan''s mind was made up, and also recalling his outstanding strength, he could only nod and said, "Alright, you be careful yourself then. These are three Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans that I refined. It''s a great deal faster than your sword maneuvering flight''s speed. Perhaps it will be of aid to you."


    Thundercry took out three yellow talismans and passed them to Ye Yuan. A powerful lightning-attribute law aura hit him head-on.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but he still accepted the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans and said with clasped hands, "Then I''ll have to thank Teacher Thundercry!"


    After Thundercry left, Ye Yuan''s face turned sullen.


    He felt that this matter was probably not so simple!


    The Qin Family''s forces in Wu Meng Capital City were deeply entrenched. This point, Ye Yuan acknowledged it.


    But was this kind of deep-rootedness capable of making a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse compromise?


    Ye Yuan felt that Wu Meng City Lord was probably not coming to terms with the Qin Family, but was not willing to punish them.


    It looked like there was quite a bit of connection between Wu Meng City Lord and the Qin Family.


    "For him to send these over, looks like he wants to pacify you, make you live together in harmony with the Qin Family! It looks like he doesn''t want to offend both sides," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan said, "The Qin Family isn''t to be offended, but what''s not to be offended about me? I helped him obtain the Four-star divine pill, and he didn''t even show his face. Looks like in his eyes, I''m just an insignificant student. Sending these seems fair, actually, he''s siding with the Qin Family there."


    Dustless could not help being stifled and said, "What you said is right! If this Wu Meng City Lord targets you, you''ll be in danger."


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "This Wu Meng City Lord really disappoints me! Now, I really love and hate this Wu Meng Capital City!"


    After all, Ye Yuan''s Sundering Stars was comprehended in Wu Meng Academy. It was also considered receiving Wu Meng Academy''s grace.


    But Wu Meng City Lord''s way of doing things made Ye Yuan rather disappointed.


    Ye Yuan comprehended Sundering Stars and contributed Sundering Stars to the Wu Meng Academy without holding back in the slightest, and also radiated splendor in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial.


    One could say that his repayment to the Wu Meng Academy was already far more than what should be demanded.


    Just a Four-star divine pill was worth several cities!


    But in the end, what it exchanged for was such an outcome.


    Dustless said, "You''d best be a little more careful in the future. Don''t get into a conflict with the Qin Family anymore. Otherwise, what kind of attitude Wu Meng City Lord has is hard to say!"


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "It''s naturally well if they don''t come and provoke me. If they really provoke me, I, Ye Yuan, have never feared anyone before!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan stayed for five years in the Sword Tomb''s fifth level.


    Five years later, Sundering Stars was finally completed!


    Close to 20 year''s time from start to finish, Ye Yuan finally completed the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art''s first level sword move.


    Presently, when Ye Yuan deployed Sundering Stars, this move, with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon at full power, he had the confidence to have a showdown with newly-advanced Heaven Glimpse powerhouses!


    Although there was a tremendous gulf between Heaven Glimpse powerhouses and Grotto Profound martial artists, when Ye Yuan was at late-stage Grotto Profound, his strength already swept across those in the same rank.


    Now, his realm and martial technique both had an all-round improvement. It was sufficient to make up for this enormous chasm.


    At least, he had the power to fight.


    Coming out of the Sword Tomb, Ye Yuan went straight to the Merit Hall. This was the place where Wu Meng Academy students received missions.


    It was also Ye Yuan''s first time coming over. That inner-court disciple in charge of missions clearly knew Ye Yuan and said with a laugh, "Yo, what wind blew our hundred cities'' number one person here? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye hasn''t entered the inner-court yet. Could it be that you''re already planning on receiving missions?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, I plan on going out to train for a bit. Is there a list of missions for me to take a look first?"


    That student''s expression changed and he said solemnly, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye plans on going out to train? The danger of that kind of mission is very high. Even if inner-court students go, the rate of death is also extremely high! I know that junior apprentice brother''s strength is quite strong, but �� shouldn''t you go out to train after being promoted to the inner-court first?"


    Ye Yuan saw that the other party''s concern did not seem to be false, and he could not help feeling touched.


    Ye Yuan''s prestige in the inner-court was also extremely high, not just in the outer-court.


    After all, he helped Wu Meng Capital City seize the championship with his power alone, and even shaved their mortal foe, Zuo Xiang Capital City, bald, making everyone hold their heads up high.


    Before long, Ye Yuan would even release splendor in the inner-court.


    Such a promising junior apprentice brother, everyone was naturally willing to get closer.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother''s concern. But cultivating for a long time in the academy, I feel like I''ve already reached a bottleneck period. When training, I''ll be more careful."

 1410 Sky Foothill World

    "Alright then. There are five jade pillars over there, representing the difficulty of the missions from low to high. You can go and check it out yourself. After examining them, come to me to register will do."


    That inner-court student saw that Ye Yuan''s attitude was firm and could only agree.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother."


    On one side of the Merit Hall''s great hall, five jade pillars were placed from low to high.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of the jade pillars and poured divine essence into the first jade pillar.


    The jade pillar immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light. A whole bunch of information entered Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Breath Rain World, Divine Lord Rank Small World.


    Highest level powerhouse: Grotto Profound Deity Realm.


    Dangerous places: Western Fame Valley, Heavenly Melody Mountain.


    Basic missions: Black Yun Metal, Splendid Flora Fruit. Difficulty - one star. Completing a mission one could obtain 800 points.


    Advanced missions: Divine lord profound treasure left behind by Breath Rain Divine Lord. Difficulty - two stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 1500 points.


    ...


    On it was a detailed description of the Breath Rain World, including the local customs, topography, and so on; very detailed.


    Information after information filtered through in Ye Yuan''s mind very quickly. Ye Yuan discovered that the information on the one-star jade pillar was actually not that hard.


    With his current strength, he could at least protect himself.


    The strongest powerhouses in these worlds were mostly just Grotto Profound Realm. Ye Yuan''s strength could virtually sweep across.


    Of course, only he, this Grotto Profound martial artists, dared to say sweep across, this kind of words.


    The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone was a very rarely-seen natural treasure. It would not appear in every small world.


    But if someone discovered Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones in a small world, it would definitely be listed as one of the missions.


    It was just too bad that the one-star jade pillar did not have news about Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.


    Hence, Ye Yuan came to the two-star jade pillar to check.


    The worlds recorded on the two-star jade pillar was clearly much more dangerous than on the one-star jade pillar. Quite a number of worlds'' highest level powerhouses were all Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    Of course, the danger level was not just according to the highest level powerhouse. Each small world''s situation was different, the situation very complicated.


    Some people training succumbed inside without even figuring out the situation.


    Ye Yuan skimmed over the two-star jade pillar and still did not find news about the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone. His heart could not help sinking.


    He was not afraid of danger. What he feared was not being able to find the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.


    As long as there was news about Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, even if it was a dragon''s lair or tiger''s den, he would also brave it.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and started investigating the information on the three-star jade pillar.


    He secretly praised, on this three-star jade pillar, there must be information about the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone!


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Information entered his eyes.


    Sky Foothill World: Celestial Deity Rank Small World.


    Highest level powerhouse: Origin Deity Realm.


    Dangerous places: Unclear.


    Basic missions: Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, Purple Sand Gold, difficulty - three stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 100 thousand points!


    Advanced missions: Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, difficulty - four stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 300 thousand points!


    ...


    That was it!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan found that inner-court student.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I want to choose the number eight mission on the three-star jade pillar!" Ye Yuan said.


    That student was stupefied, somewhat doubting if his ears heard wrongly or not.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, this is a three-star mission. Are you mistaken?"


    This three-star mission, as long one of the missions was completed, one could get 100 thousand points. The difficulty and level of danger could be seen.


    It was on a completely different level than the one-star and two-star missions previously.


    Ye Yuan was merely a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist. Wanting to challenge such a high difficulty mission as soon as he came up, his astonishment could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That''s right, this is it. I''ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother to give me the coordinates of the Sky Foothill World."


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, it''s your first time taking part in a training mission, you might not know the difficulty of three-star missions! This number eight mission, over 5000 students have done it in the past. The majority of them were all middle-stage, Heaven Glimpse, late-stage, even grand completion powerhouses. But the ones who came back in the end were less than 10%! Among the 10%, those able to complete the mission were even fewer!"


    That student was warmhearted too, worried that Ye Yuan did not know the danger and urged earnestly with good intentions.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother, for cautioning. I''ll be careful."


    That student opened his mouth but did not say anything.


    This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye never seemed to do things according to the convention.


    Missions that other people avoided like the plague, he was eager to go.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan was too weak currently!


    Even if Ye Yuan''s strength was superior, far surpassing same-rank martial artists, his realm was too low after all.


    He did not even enter the inner-court and want to challenge a three-star mission. Wasn''t this somewhat overestimating his own ability?


    "Alright, since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye insists on going, then you''ll have to be more careful. Entering a small world to train, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Missions and whatnot are second." That student reminded him again.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That is, of course. I don''t wish to court death too."


    That student nodded and said, "The number eight mission''s information is already stored in your academy token. You can go back and study it well. But you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now, to absolutely not reveal the mission''s information for others to know."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly, swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot.


    Each small world was a treasure trove and also a precious resource of Wu Meng Capital City. They naturally did not allow it to be leaked out.


    Watching Ye Yuan leave, that student''s face revealed a puzzled look and muttered, "This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye really exceeds all expectations. It''s just that this three-star mission is a little too dangerous. He''s my Wu Meng Academy''s future, hope that he''ll be fine."


    Right at this time, another figure walked in.


    That student''s expression changed and he hurriedly saluted and said, "I pay respects to Elder Qin!"


    He was secretly alarmed. Elder Qin Tianning was one of the few existences whose status was second only to the academy head. Normally, he was in closed-seclusion and rarely appeared.


    Why did he suddenly show up today, and even came to the Merit Hall?


    He suddenly thought of the Ye Yuan who just left and could not help becoming fearful in his heart.


    Elder Qin wouldn''t be here aiming for Ye Yuan, right?


    Qin Tianning snorted lightly, considered to have acknowledged it, and said coolly, "What mission did Ye Yuan draw just now?"


    That student''s expression changed and he said awkwardly, "Elder Qin, this �� The missions that students draw are strictly confidential. This �� isn''t complying with the rules!"


    Qin Tianning''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "This old man is an Elder Association''s member. Is it confidential even from me? If you don''t wish to stay in the academy, just say it straight. This old man will send you out tomorrow!"


    That student''s expression changed and he said fearfully, "Elder Qin is mis-mistaken! The mission that Ye Yuan drew was �� was the number eight mission on the three-star jade pillar, the coordinates are ��"


    Qin Tianning nodded slightly and said, "Mn, that''s more like it! You don''t think too much. This matter �� was personally ordered by City Lord, His Excellency. If you let a third person know, the consequences �� you know it!"

 1411 Heavenly Dao Rejection

    "Qin Tian, have you thought it over? This mission that Ye Yuan chose isn''t simple. It''s said that the strongest person in that Sky Foothill World''s Sky Foothill Divine Palace is a grand completion Origin Deity powerhouse! Once your outsider identity is exposed, you''ll suffer endless pursuit!"


    Inside a Wu Meng Academy''s secret room, Qin Tianning and Qin Tian sat opposite each other. Qin Tianning warned Qin Tian with a solemn look.


    When Qin Tianning learned that what Ye Yuan was carrying out was the Sky Foothill World''s mission, he got a shock too.


    The difficulty of the Sky Foothill World''s mission, he was aware. The mortality rate was very high.


    Ye Yuan, a newcomer, actually challenged such a dangerous world. It was seriously out of his expectations.


    Along with it, he also became somewhat worried about Qin Tian''s safety.


    Qin Tian was the Qin Family''s number one genius, the only candidate for the next family head.


    If some accident happened to him, the Qin Family could not bear it.


    However, Qin Tian had a decisive appearance as he said calmly, "Ye Yuan already became my mental demon. Not killing him, I may never be able to step into the Divine Lord Realm in this life!"


    Qin Tianning was deeply aware of the terror of mental demons and said with a nod, "It''s too bad that Origin Deity Realms can''t enter the Sky Foothill World. Otherwise, their identities will be revealed very quickly and suffer the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s pursuit. Entering the Sky Foothill World, everything can only be up to you!"


    Qin Tian nodded and said, "I have a score in my heart! Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance is that late-stage two-star evil spirit and sword maneuvering flight. After entering the Sky Foothill World, there isn''t the Heavenspan World''s spatial suppression and I can fly too! At that time, all the things he relies on don''t exist at all in front of me! However I want to kill him, I''ll kill him!"


    Although Qin Tian hated Ye Yuan but was not a reckless person.


    If there isn''t absolute certainty, he would not take this risk.


    After all, in Qin Tian''s view, his life was much more valuable than Ye Yuan''s.


    He, Qin Tian, was an existence who would step into Divine Lord Realm in the future.


    While Ye Yuan was destined to be a wisp of a deceased soul under his sword!


    ...


    At Sky Foothill World''s borders, above the void, a majestic World Locking Gate slowly manifested itself.


    A tiny figure shuttled out of the World Locking Gate, stopping above the vast sea.


    "I really didn''t expect that the Heavenspan World still has Stable Wind Needle, this kind of divine artifact, capable of moving freely in a spatial storm! Back then, If I were to have such a magic treasure, why would I be injured so miserably?"


    The one who came through the World Locking Gate was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Before he came, he got two divine artifacts called Stable Wind Needle from a teacher in the academy''s Artifact Refining Hall.


    Using this Stable Wind Needle to shuttle back and forth in a spatial storm, one could actually shield against those violent spatial turbulent flows, letting him arrive at the opposite short safe and sound.


    This involuntarily made Ye Yuan recall the scene of escaping by a hair''s breadth in the spatial storm back then.


    If he had this Stable Wind Needle in his hands back then, it would not be to the extent of being so miserable either.


    "The Heavenspan World''s artifact refining methods are what the small worlds'' people cannot imagine. But Stable Wind Needle, this thing, is strictly controlled in the hands of capital cities, this level of forces. Once discovered in the outside world, they will immediately be sentenced to capital punishment! The Stable Wind Needle is just a one-time consumable. You''ll only be given two when you''re carrying out the mission to avoid it falling into outsiders'' hands," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Looks like I need to get more of those divine artifacts. Otherwise, it will really be quite troublesome to want to search for the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone in the future."


    While talking, a series of air bubbles suddenly emerged in the ocean.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several hundred fish-shaped monsters came out of the water, pouncing crazily towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. His aura surged, rippling out.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Those fish-shaped monsters'' bodies directly exploded into clouds of blood mist under this terrifying undulation.


    "Mere Tier 9 demonic beasts also dare to attack me. Really overestimating your own ability!" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    But right at this time, another three fish-shaped monsters came out of the water!


    These three auras were clearly much stronger compared to those previously. It was shockingly a rank one divine beast!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    Three streaks of sword light burst forth without any signs, akin to a squall, shredding those three monsters into pieces without the slightest sluggishness.


    "Senior, what''s going on? I didn''t provoke them!" Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Ye Yuan was just standing there quietly and did not provoke anyone, but these fierce beasts unleashed attacks at him without heed for their lives. This made Ye Yuan very perplexed.


    "Back then, when those fiend race powerhouses entered the Immortal Grove World, they suffered Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao''s repulsion. Now, you''re the outsider to the Sky Foothill World! Those fierce beasts'' intelligence has yet to be unlocked. Their actions are entirely based on instincts and are the most sensitive to external forces," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan felt his head swell and he said, "Doesn''t that mean that I''ll be exposed very easily?"


    Dustless nodded and said, "That''s right! The aura on your body is incongruous with Sky Foothill World''s Heavenly Dao. Deity Realm powerhouses can identify it very easily. Furthermore, the stronger the attacks you exhibit, the stronger the Heavenly Dao''s suppression! If not because of this, this mission''s death rate naturally wouldn''t be so high either."


    Ye Yuan fell silent. He had really never considered this problem before.


    But now, it became a very troublesome matter.


    The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, this kind of precious natural treasure, would probably be monopolized by the Sky Foothill Divine Palace. No matter how careful he was, it was also impossible to avoid their investigation.


    Those trial-takers who entered in the past were all late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. There were even powerhouses at Qin Tian''s level.


    But their auras were too obvious. Once they clashed with the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s powerhouses, it was basically no return.


    Hence, that was why this mission was designated as a three-star difficulty mission.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Senior, could it be that there''s no way?"


    Dustless shook his head and said, "Forget about you, even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove enters a small world, he''d be rejected by Heavenly Dao too! Unless, you can obtain this Sky Foothill World''s Dao Fruit, or, you can be like with the Immortal Grove World, obtaining this Sky Foothill World''s Heavenly Dao''s recognition."


    Ye Yuan could not help losing all hope when he heard that. This way, wanting to obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone was really bleak!


    Ye Yuan fell silent, falling into hard thinking.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up, giving rise to enlightenment in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, directly vanishing above the sea.


    When he appeared again, he already arrived in an enormous forest.


    Ye Yuan searched for an open space, sat down cross-legged, and started revolving the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan''s body suddenly emitted a sacred aura. The World Suppressing Stele flew straight out of Ye Yuan''s body, suspending above his head.


    A pale-white light halo poured down, enveloping Ye Yuan''s body.


    Seeing this scene, Dustless''s entire body involuntarily shuddered, his gaze revealing astonishment.


    "This kid is really too talented! To be able to achieve this step, there''s probably only him alone since time immemorial, right?" said Dustless who was shocked to the core.

 1412 Bai Chen

    After a long time, the milky-white light halo dissipated. Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his eyes revealing a look of excitement.


    "It really worked!"


    The current Ye Yuan already completely could not feel the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao''s rejection any longer!


    "You, how did you think of it? To actually think of using the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain to imitate the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao''s aura!" Dustless exclaimed.


    "Heh, small worlds are created by martial artists. Their Heavenly Dao is naturally born from the Heavenspan World''s Heavenly Dao too. Since that''s the case, the parent body imitating the child body''s aura shouldn''t be hard. Therefore, I tried communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. Didn''t expect that it really worked," Ye Yuan said with an excited look.


    Dustless was speechless. This boy would frequently have some whimsical ideas. Even he was endlessly amazed.


    This time, it clearly succeeded again until it shocked him.


    With the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain protecting him, however vast this Sky Foothill World, it was free for him to roam!


    Even if Origin Deity Realm powerhouses stood in front of him, they could not recognize him either.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, the Deity Realm powerhouse aura on his body gradually faded away.


    Very soon, the Martial Dao aura on Ye Yuan''s body completely disappeared, looking just like an ordinary person.


    Ye Yuan was confident that unless he encountered Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, otherwise, nobody could see through him.


    Want to integrate into this world, it was better to be more low-profile.


    Actually, the Sky Foothill World information grasped by Wu Meng Academy was not much. What Ye Yuan understood was very limited too.


    Hence, he must first understand this world before he could know how to obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.


    Finishing with this, Ye Yuan took a step and directly disappeared from where he stood.


    In the forest, Ye Yuan seemed to be strolling idly in a courtyard. In reality, his speed was swift to the extreme!


    Taking a step out, it was a thousand miles away.


    "Mn?"


    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly paused, stopping.


    Arriving at the Sky Foothill World, his divine sense recovered to an extremely terrifying range again and already detected several figures ahead.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan even detected that a deity realm fierce beast was currently coming in his direction.


    "The fierce beast is in that direction! Teacher Mo Yun, this time, I can definitely personally capture that fierce beast and tame it! Don''t intervene today!" A young voice sounded out.


    "Huhu, Mo Yun naturally believes in Young Lord Bai Chen''s strength! You just feel free to act. Not reaching the final juncture, I won''t intervene," Mo Yun said with a light laugh.


    He knew that this Young Lord Bai Chen enjoyed success at a young age and was very proud. Suffering major losses under the hands of this fierce beast repeatedly, he was very pent up.


    However, Young Lord Bai Chen''s talent was indeed astonishing. In less than a year''s time, Young Lord Bai Chen already became much stronger under this fierce beast''s stimulation.


    Although he was still not that fierce beast''s match yet currently, defeating it alone was already something sooner or later.


    "Teacher Mo Yun, this time, you absolutely mustn''t be like last time, repelling it when I only suffered a bit of injury! Otherwise, I''ll really fall out!" Bai Chen said unhappily.


    "Haha, Young Lord rest assured, I definitely won''t this time! Unless it concerns life and death, I absolutely won''t take action!" Mo Yun laughed and said.


    "Come on, Young Lord! You can definitely defeat that fierce beast this time!"


    "Young Lord is mighty!"


    "Young Lord is mighty!"


    ...


    Several accompanying martial artists were all cheering Bai Chen on.


    Bai Chen smiled proudly and rushed over in the fierce beast''s direction.


    "Roar!"


    When Bai Chen rushed over, the fierce beast was currently roaring madly in Ye Yuan''s direction, the commotion extremely terrifying.


    Originally, the dense woods blocked the view. Only when Bai Chen came near, did he discover that there was a young man standing there.


    And the fierce beast was currently baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, assuming a posture about to pounce at Ye Yuan.


    "Don''t move! Leave this guy to me!"


    Bai Chen shouted loudly, his figure dashing towards that fierce best like lightning.


    That was a lion-type fierce beast. Ye Yuan did not recognize it.


    Although this species of fierce beast was extremely strong, it was not civilized and did not belong to the category of the demon race.


    Bai Chen had an imposing momentum, brandished a divine artifact heavy spear, and clashed together with the fierce beast.


    The moment he got started, Bai Chen thoroughly suppressed the fierce beast.


    With this, he pressed on relentlessly, one spear following another, fighting until the fierce beast fell back repeatedly.


    When Bai Chen saw this, he had an even more excited look, growing in bravery as he fought.


    While at this time, Mo Yun and the rest also passed through the dense forest and arrived here.


    When they discovered Ye Yuan, they all could not help being stunned.


    Before this, they all sensed two powerful auras. They were precisely from Bai Chen and the fierce beast.


    Apart from these two, they completely did not sense other people''s auras.


    Did not expect that there was actually still a person here �� an ordinary person.


    Mo Yun''s gaze sized up Ye Yuan. But no matter how he sized up, Ye Yuan was an ordinary person.


    Boom!


    Right at this time, a heavy spear of Bai Chen''s knocked the fierce beast over.


    When those followers saw this scene, they immediately applauded.


    "Good!"


    "Young Lord Bai Chen, beautifully done!"


    "Continue, Young Lord! Kill it!"


    ...


    When these people saw that Ye Yuan was just an ordinary person, they directly ignored him.


    Reckon that this guy was long frightened silly by the fierce beast, right?


    Only Mo Yun''s brows furrowed slightly seemingly pondering about something.


    Bai Chen''s attack succeeding, he gave even less of a chance for the fierce beast to catch its breath. One spear followed another, very quickly beating the fierce beast until it did not have the strength to retaliate.


    Boom ��


    Bai Chen gasped heavily for air, pounding the heavy spear on the ground. A golden collar appeared in his hands at no idea when.


    "Summon!"


    Bai Chen muttered words under his breath, then threw the collar. The collar slipped onto the fierce beast''s neck.


    The fierce beast already did not have the strength to resist and could only helplessly watch Bai Chen''s action, with its eyes revealing a look of despair.


    "Leave it to you guys!"


    Bai Chen roared loudly to the entourage, but he then turned to Ye Yuan, patted his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Kid, scared silly, right? Just now, if this young master, I, came a bit later, you''d have become a meal in this guy''s belly!"


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Many thanks for Young Lord Bai Chen''s life-saving grace."


    It was just that he had a calm and collected appearance. How was it at all like being scared silly?


    But Ye Yuan did not say much, going along with things.


    Bai Chen did not put on much air, waved his hands, and said, "No need, no need, just a simple matter not worth mentioning! But your guts are really plucky. This Wilderness Forest is full of danger. Even Deity Realm powerhouses don''t dare to easily set foot inside. You actually dared to come here by yourself."


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not dispute further.


    Bai Chen put away the fierce beast and was in a great mood, saying to Ye Yuan again, "Forget this, this young lord''s mood today is pretty good, I''ll bring you out together!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Then I''ll have to thank Young Lord Bai Chen very much."


    "Haha, you, kid, are really lucky! Running into Young Lord Bai Chen coming out to train today! Otherwise, you wouldn''t even have bones left!"


    "When you exit the Wilderness Forest, you have to thank Young Lord Bai Chen properly."


    "It''s also Young Lord Bai Chen who is kind-hearted. If it were others, they wouldn''t even be bothered with you!"


    Those followers all came in front of Ye Yuan to poke fun, all feeling that Ye Yuan survived by a fluke.

 1413 Passerby A

    Bai Chen rode the Lion Mirage Beast, looking awe-inspiring and very pleased.


    Ye Yuan already got to know from Bai Chen that this lion-shaped fierce beast''s name was called Lion Mirage Beast.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was very curious too.


    That collar seemed to have considerable magical powers. Latching onto that Lion Mirage Beast''s neck, that guy submitted.


    "Young Lord Bai Chen, I wonder what kind of wondrous object this collar is?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Bai Chen smiled and said, "This is an Imperial Spirit Circle. It''s also normal for you mortals to not have heard of it before. This is a high-grade spirit divine artifact. As long as I drip blood for it to acknowledge as master, then put it onto the neck of a fierce beast, it can suppress rank one deity realm fierce beasts and let it submit to me. Of course, the prerequisite is that I must beat it until it doesn''t have the strength to retaliate."


    Ye Yuan secretly marveled. He did not expect that this Sky Foothill World actually had such impressive artifact refining means.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s curious appearance, Bai Chen smiled and said, "Want to come up and experience it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "This thing is too formidable, I''d better not ride."


    "Haha, you, this kid, look like a pale-faced scholar. Your guts are also too small! This Lion Mirage Beast is already subdued and won''t attack people." A follower mocked him.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not explain.


    Not that he did not want to sit, but he did not dare to sit.


    If he were to sit on it, how could this Lion Mirage Beast still move?


    The reason why Bai Chen was able to easily bring down the Lion Mirage Beast was all because of Ye Yuan''s intimidation.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s body simulated the aura of Sky Foothill''s Heavenly Dao. Those fierce beasts would not be averse to him like before.


    Hence, they could also sense the terror on Ye Yuan''s body.


    The demon race bloodline in Ye Yuan''s body was incomparably noble. Furthermore, the power was extremely formidable. That Lion Mirage Beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at that time was not scaring Ye Yuan but being afraid of Ye Yuan.


    It was just that when Bai Chen saw it, he thought that the Lion Mirage Beast wanted to attack Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan took Bai Chen''s strength into his sights. Although he recently entered the Grotto Profound Deity Realm and his spear art was not bad as well, wanting to deal with this Lion Mirage Beast, it was still a little lacking.


    But by the side, Mo Yun was constantly on heightened vigilance constantly.


    The rest did not have any suspicions about Ye Yuan. But he kept feeling that this Ye Yuan was problematic.


    It was just that where was the problem. He could not pinpoint it either.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, over a dozen figures dashed out of the dense forest, surrounding Bai Chen and co.


    "Hahaha �� Bai Chen! I''ve waited for this chance for a very long time! Today is your death date!" A young figure divided everyone and said this with a wild laugh.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "Bai Chong, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Bai Chong smiled hideously and said, "What''s the meaning? My strength is more powerful than you, age is older than yours. Why is it that you''re the young lord?! While I, have to become a dog under you? I''m unwilling! I want to become the young lord and rule the White Night Sacred Palace in the future!"


    Mo Yun reproached furiously, "Bai Chong, are you crazy? For this, you recruited the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s people? You have to know that they are our White Night Sacred Palace''s mortal enemy!"


    Bai Chong sneered coldly and said, "So what? As long as I can get the position of the young lord, what does it matter what means I use?"


    Behind Bai Chong, a middle-aged man looked at Mo Yun and said with a laugh, "Mo Yun, didn''t expect it, right? Heh heh, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance. Kill Bai Chen, then join our Autumn Rain Sacred Palace! With your strength, you''ll be put in an important position."


    Mo Yun ignored him but glared at Ye Yuan and said, "You''re Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s spy! Otherwise, such a vast Wilderness Forest, how did you guys find us?"


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    "You! You actually repaid kindness with ingratitude!" Bai Chen pointed at Ye Yuan and said with bitter resentment.


    "Humph! I''ve observed him for very long already. He isn''t some ordinary person at all, but a hidden expert! On his body, there''s probably an aura-concealing divine artifact!" Mo Yun said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan did not expect Mo Yun to suddenly point the spearhead at him. He said with a guileless look, "I''m really not a spy. You all should be able to testify for me, right?"


    Who Ye Yuan asked was Bai Chong. He instantly felt that he was being wronged.


    Currently, this sort of situation, Bai Chen''s side was a certain-death situation.


    Mo Yun was merely half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm. The others were mostly initial-stage Grotto Profound strength.


    While opposite, that man''s strength was more or less the same as Mo Yun''s.


    Apart from him, the other over dozen people were all Grotto Profound Realm powerhouse.


    Quite a few among them were even middle-stage, even late-stage existences!


    The overall strength was significantly stronger than this side!


    But Bai Chong smiled coldly and said, "Mo Yun, you''re right! He was sent by us to investigate your whereabouts!"


    When Bai Chong saw Bai Chen''s side having internal strife, he was naturally happy to see them fight in the nest.


    He did not mind sowing discord!


    Sure enough, when Bai Chen and Mo Yun heard this, their faces changed, glaring at Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, I really misjudged you! If I had long known it would be like this, I''d have let the Lion Mirage Beast eat you!" Bai Chen said angrily.


    Mo Yun said in a cold voice, "Young Lord, no need to talk rubbish with him anymore! Kill him!"


    Done talking, Mo Yun lifted his hand and it was a palm with boundless might.


    Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man opposite and Bai Chong both revealed delighted faint smiles.


    Boom!


    The outrageously shocking palm struck right onto Ye Yuan''s chest.


    However �� Ye Yuan stood there without moving an inch, forcefully receiving this palm!


    Everyone''s eyeballs popped out, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan was completely fine!


    "This �� How is this possible?" The middle-aged man muttered.


    Mo Yun''s strength, he was still aware. This palm, even he did not dare to forcefully receive it. This young man actually forcefully withstood this palm!


    Ye Yuan was wearing Wu Meng Academy''s profound divine artifact battle armor. This degree of attack naturally could not threaten him.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Actually, I''m just Passerby A and really didn''t have the intention of getting involved in your struggle for the position of young lord. Alright, in order to express my innocence, I won''t take part in your fight. This will do, right?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and really retreated to one side.


    With this, it was Bai Chong''s side''s turn to lose composure.


    This young man was a little too unfathomable, right?


    The expression of the middle-aged man opposite turned stern. Suddenly recalling something, he whispered in Bai Chong''s ear, "They are definitely putting on an act, wanting to scare us away! No need to care about him, the most important thing is to kill Bai Chen!"


    Bai Chong''s expression turned austere, nodded his head, and said in a solemn voice, "Attack! Whoever kills Bai Chen will be heavily rewarded!"


    "Kill!"


    Those doze over people shouted loudly, rushing over towards Bai Chen in a swarm.


    Mo Yun''s expression changed and was just about to take action when the middle-aged man''s figure already arrived!


    "Your opponent is me! Bai Chen is dead for sure today! Stop putting up a last-ditch fight!" The middle-aged man said with a hideous grin.


    Bai Chen''s few followers protected Bai Chen in the center tightly and faced the besieging of over a dozen Grotto Profound powerhouses. Very soon, they were running low in strength.


    When Mo Yun saw this, he could not help becoming greatly anxious.


    Ye Yuan stood tall and upright at one side. Suddenly, he let out a sigh and said, "Sure enough, I still can''t look on!"

 1414 Playing Cat and Mouse

    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    Several dozen sword lights tore across the sky, lighting up breathtakingly.


    Bai Chen only felt a blur before his eyes, and his long spear pierced right through his opponent''s chest without the slightest hindrance.


    Bai Chen had yet to have time to rejoice when he discovered that fresh blood sprayed off the other party''s body, then he broke off into several pieces.


    The other party opened his eyes wide, not understanding how he died towards the end.


    Bai Chen opened his eyes wide too, similarly not understanding how his opponent died.


    Very clearly, it had nothing to do with his spear at all.


    Not just Bai Chen, his several followers were stunned in place too.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s powerhouses were all diced into pieces; deader than dead.


    "What �� What happened just now?"


    "S-So strong!"


    "T-Too strong! This is a true expert!"


    Bai Chen''s followers all drew a cold breath, gazes looking towards Ye Yuan in horror.


    That expression, there was surprise, gratefulness, but even more, it was fear!


    In a blink of an eye, annihilated over a dozen Grotto Profound Deity Realm powerhouses. Among them, even included a half-step Heaven Glimpse powerhouse.


    This kind of strength, they did not dare to imagine it at all!


    Even if a Heaven Glimpse powerhouse was here, he probably could not do it so neat and tidily either, right?


    Those were over a dozen deity realm powerhouses. He actually killed them like chopping melons and vegetables!


    Mo Yun''s face was white as a sheet, the muscles on his body shivering endlessly because of fear.


    What did he do previously?


    Slammed a palm at Ye Yuan?


    Was he tired of living? Wanting to seek death?


    That Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s middle-aged man''s strength was similar to his, but the former was exterminated by Ye Yuan without even reacting in time.


    He absolutely would not last an additional half a breath''s time in front of him either!


    The shock that this opening move of Ye Yuan brought was too intense.


    Mo Yun sucked in a breath deeply, forcefully suppressing the horror in his heart, and bowed to Ye Yuan and said, "Mo Yun has wronged Your Excellency previously, resulting in doing a foolish thing. Many thanks to Your Excellency for disregarding my former suspicions and saving our lives! Mo Yun is aware that I''m guilty, Your Excellency, please punish! It''s just that �� Your Excellency, please let Young Lord Bai Chen off!"


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, hurriedly saying, "Ye �� Your Excellency, Teacher Mo Yun was just anxious to protect his student. Your Excellency, please give him a way out! Bai Chen is willing to pay any price!"


    Mo Yun watched him grow up all the way, like a master and like a father. The two people''s relationship was extremely good.


    Letting Bai Chen helplessly watch Mo Yun be killed, he could not do it.


    Mo Yun''s expression changed and he said, "Young Lord, don''t need to plead. Mo Yun offended His Excellency and has committed a capital offense! For His Excellency to make a move and save us is already magnanimous and broad-minded! Young Lord, don''t need to plead for Mo Yun!"


    Ye Yuan looked at this master and disciple, two people, and could not help feeling somewhat funny, but was also rather touched.


    This Bai Chen was pure in nature, very much to his liking. Otherwise, he would not have made a move earlier as well.


    Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "If you guys keep arguing here, that fellow is going to escape."


    Mo Yun''s expression changed. It was only now he detected that Bai Chong did not die yet and already escaped like a wisp of smoke.


    Ye Yuan making a move just now, Bai Chong was scared silly too, directly freezing there.


    Now, seeing Mo Yun master and disciple having small talk with Ye Yuan, how could he still care about so much, hurriedly escaping.


    Mo Yun gave a cold snort, his figure flying out like lightning.


    His strength was much greater than Bai Chong''s. But Bai Chong took the lead and already flew out far away. Mo Yun actually could not catch up for some time.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed. If Bai Chong were to run, there would be no end of future troubles!


    In his anxiety, he could not refrain from begging Ye Yuan, "Your Excellency!"


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either. Waving a hand, a sword slashed out.


    This sword, everybody saw it clearly.


    Bai Chen and his followers'' expressions were white as paper, being deeply shocked by this sword.


    They were still singing their own praises previously, feeling that they saved Ye Yuan''s life.


    Actually, he was completely disdainful to take action!


    Bai Chen suddenly understood why the Lion Mirage Beast was so subdued this time, being brought down by him with two or three hits.


    It was completely in fear of Ye Yuan!


    The swift and fierce sword light streaked across the horizon as if splitting the entire sky into two halves.


    Wrapped in an outrageous momentum, this streak of sword light arrived first despite launching later, cutting off Bai Chong''s path in virtually a blink.


    Bai Chong was currently sprinting crazily when suddenly, an earth-shaking sword light cut right across ahead, scaring his pants off. How could he still run?


    With this delay, Mo Yun''s figure was like lightning, finally catching up.


    Bai Chong was scared by this sword''s shocking presence until his legs turned soft. How could he still be Mo Yun''s match? He immediately had his divine sea sealed by Mo Yun and carried back like a chicken.


    When Bai Chen saw this, he heaved a great sigh in relief and said gratefully, "Many thanks, Your Excellency, for taking action!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, this matter is done, I should go too. Don''t need to see me off."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and was about to leave.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he hurriedly shouted, "Your Excellency!"


    "Mn? Is there still anything else?"


    Bai Chen said, "I wonder �� where Your Excellency is going?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Wandering around the world, without any permanent residence."


    Bai Chen was delighted the moment he heard. It turned out that Lord Ye Yuan was a reclusive expert. He did not expect that his luck was so good, to actually run into him.


    Otherwise, the one dead today would probably be him.


    "Since Your Excellency doesn''t have a play to go, why not go to the White Night Sacred Palace to be a guest. How about that? For Your Excellency''s life-saving grace, Bai Chen has nothing to repay with. Please allow me to carry out the hospitality of a ghost," Bai Chen looked at Ye Yuan and said with hopeful eyes.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not really want to leave. He just played a little cat and mouse trick, that was all.


    He had long seen through that this Bai Chen''s identity was probably not ordinary in the Sky Foothill World.


    Furthermore, the faction that Bai Chen was at was called White Night Sacred Palace, while the Sky Foothill World''s supreme ruler was the Sky Foothill Divine Palace. There might be some connection between the two.


    Entering the White Night Sacred Palace, he might be able to inquire about the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone''s information.


    It was just that, Ye Yuan also knew that the trial-takers who entered the Sky Foothill World over the years were quite a number too, all aiming for these few items.


    If Ye Yuan''s goal was too obvious, it would probably arouse people''s suspicions.


    Hence, this matter still needed gradual planning.


    Ye Yuan deliberately fell silent for a moment, and said with a nod, "Alright then. I''m unoccupied, no harm in going to do a little sightseeing either."


    Bai Chen was overjoyed the moment he heard and repeatedly said, "Great! Many thanks, Your Excellency, for giving face!"


    At this time, Mo Yun escorted Bai Chong and rushed over, directly pressing, pressing until he knelt on the ground.


    Bai Chen''s face fell and he said furiously, "Bai Chong, I''ve always treated you as a biological elder brother and was incomparably respectful towards you from young! Even if you were dissatisfied with me, I wouldn''t fuss about anything either! But you actually colluded with the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s people and did this kind of thing today! It really chills my, this younger brother''s, heart!"


    Bai Chong hugged Bai Chen''s thigh and said, "My good younger brother, I �� I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong! I �� I was muddleheaded for a moment! I beg you, beg you to let me off!"


    Bai Chen said with a cold smile, "I know that you all say that I''m weak and incompetent in private, unworthy of this position of young lord! But I''m not stupid! This kind of explanation, you go say it to Royal Father!"

 1415 Bai Chens Hope

    "Young Lord is back! Young Lord, you finally came back! Things are bad!"


    Upon reaching the White Night Sacred Palace, a steward-looking old man came up to greet them.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he said, "Uncle Ji, what happened?"


    Uncle Ji had a heartbroken look as he said weepingly, "Master �� Master he �� is almost on his last legs!"


    This news was akin to a bolt out of the blue, making everyone''s expression changed drastically.


    Bai Chen grabbed Uncle Ji and asked, "I was only gone for half a year, what in the world happened?"


    Suddenly, the Bai Chong by the side started laughing crazily, "Hahahaha �� This old fellow is finally going to die! He deserves death! Hahaha ��"


    Bang!


    A buzz went off in Bai Chen''s head. He gave Bai Chong a kick in an uncontrollable rage, kicking him to the ground.


    "Treacherous villain! You, what in the world did you do to Royal Father?"


    Bai Chong getting hit by the kick, his mouth was full of fresh blood.


    But he did not care at all and still laughed crazily as he said, "This miserable old fool! I''m so outstanding. Why doesn''t he pick me? Not picking me, he deserves to die! Deserves to die! Hahaha ��"


    Bai Chong''s entire person fell into a state of madness. The long suppressed discontentment in his heart all erupted in this instant.


    "You!"


    Bai Chen''s palm was raised in the air but kept failing to find it in him to land it.


    He wished to kill this elder brother with a palm, but he could not do it.


    "Hahaha, kill! Kill me! Let me tell you, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s powerhouses are already on the way! If you kill me, all of you have to be buried in death with me! Now, your only way out is to let me go and let me succeed the position of palace lord!" Bai Chong said arrogantly.


    One sentence made everyone''s hearts sink to the bottom of the valley.


    Mo Yun gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "You treacherous villain, truly devoid of all conscience! A person like you becoming the palace lord, the White Night Sacred Palace will be ruined in your hands sooner or later! Palace Lord was quite prescient to not choose you to be the young lord!"


    "Humph! Bai Chen becoming the palace lord will let the White Night Sacred Palace to a bad end! You see, he, this coward, doesn''t even dare to kill me! Hahaha! My good younger brother, you kill me! Kill! You ��"


    Swish!


    Bai Chong''s arrogant voice abruptly ceased, fresh blood splattering all over Bai Chen''s face.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, his gaze looking over toward Ye Yuan in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If you keep dawdling, your royal father will be dead."


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and could not be bothered to wipe the fresh blood on his face, sprinting over towards the palace.


    "All don''t be in a daze anymore, go in and take a look, see if you can be of any help or not."


    Ye Yuan did not care about everyone''s shocked gazes. Lifting his foot, he headed towards the depths of the palace too.


    Mo Yun suddenly startled awake and followed after too.


    When Ye Yuan saw the already dying White Night Palace Lord, he knew that he was already deeply poisoned and a goner.


    Poison entering the heart, even if he could refine a Two-star divine pill right now, it could not save the White Night Palace Lord either.


    As expected, before long, news of the palace lord''s demise came from the depths of the palace.


    Mo Yun arranged a quiet place for Ye Yuan and he took up his quarters in peace.


    While at this time, a battle of heirs was currently playing out in the White Night Sacred Palace.


    The White Night Palace Lord did not just have Bai Chong and Bai Chen, two sons. Bai Chen still had quite a few older brothers.


    Now, the palace lord had passed, the various factions were starting to become restless and eager to take action.


    Bai Chen was the palace lord''s youngest son. Appointing him as the young lord originally had many people refusing to accept.


    It was just that Bai Chen indeed lived up to expectations, breaking through to the Deity Realm at a young age. Plus, there was the old palace lord holding down the fort, that was why nobody dared to gossip.


    It was just too bad that Bai Chen had not completely grown up yet and the old palace lord was harmed by Bai Chong. This made the others see hope.


    "Mo Yun, the urgent matter on hand is to resist the outside enemy! Bai Chen is still young and normally isn''t in charge of the palace''s affairs too, it''s hard to convince the masses! Making him lead everyone to go and resist the enemy, isn''t it courting our doom?"


    "Yeah! Currently, in this sort of situation, we should choose a son with high prestige and commands universal respect to succeed the position of palace lord!"


    "The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s people are about to reach soon. Young Lord''s bit of strength, could it be letting him lead us to go and fight with them?"


    ...


    A group of people was trying to get a word in. In short, they were questioning that Bai Chen was young and unable to take on big responsibilities.


    Confronted by a great enemy, it was just nice to become the excuse for them to force an abdication.


    Mo Yun gave a cold snort and said, "The palace lord appointed the young lord in order to succeed him! Young Lord Bai Chen succeeding the position of palace lord is right and proper! The old palace lord''s corpse has yet to turn cold and you all did such a thing. The old palace lord will die with everlasting regret!"


    "That''s not right! It''s a matter of expediency. Right now, it''s extraordinary times, there naturally needs to be extraordinary measures! Bai Chen''s strength and prestige are insufficient to convince the masses no matter what. How can he succeed the position of palace lord?" An elder came forward to refute.


    "Want to talk about high prestige and commanding universal respect, I feel that it still belongs to Deputy Palace Lord, Bai Xiu. The old palace is not around anymore. In the entire White Night Sacred Palace, his strength is the strongest. The sacred palace''s aspects, it''s also him who understands them best! Since everybody is currently debating endlessly, in my view, let Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu temporarily act in the position of palace lord. What does everyone think?"


    Suddenly, an elder''s words broke the balance of the scene.


    Everyone did not expect that a Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu actually charged out halfway.


    It was just that they calmed down and thought about it. This current sort of situation, there was really no one more suitable than Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu.


    Bai Xiu was currently sitting on the seat of honor, both eyes narrowed slightly, seemingly in a daze.


    When he suddenly heard this, he got a shock too and hurriedly said, "No way, no way! The White Night Sacred Palace''s tradition has always been palace lord passing to young lord. Where is the logic of palace lord passing to deputy palace lord? If I really become the palace lord, everybody will feel that I''m scheming to usurp the throne and it will be even harder to convince the masses! Don''t mention this matter again! How about this, since everybody can''t come to a conclusion, let''s discuss it again tomorrow. As for the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s activities, I''ve already arranged people to keep an eye on it. There still aren''t any movements for the time being. Uh �� that''s it for today."


    The palace lord was already deceased. Bai Xiu was currently the person with the highest prestige and respect in the entire White Night Sacred Palace. His strength was also the strongest.


    His words won the group of elders'' favorable impression even more.


    Very soon, inside the great hall was stark empty. There was only Mo Yun master and disciple, two people, left in the hall.


    Bai Chen''s entire person was battered out of his senses. He did not say a word from start to end.


    His thoughts were not on contending for the seat of palace lord at all. The blow that the death of the old palace lord had on him was tremendous. He still had not come back to his senses currently.


    Seeing Bai Chen''s dejected and disheartened appearance, Mo Yun was burning with anxiety too.


    "Young Lord! If you carry on like this, the position of palace lord will be gone!" Mo Yun said anxiously.


    Bai Chen looked at Mo Yun with a pair of listless eyes and said, "Gone then gone. What they said was right. I''m not suited to be this palace lord at all."


    Mo Yun sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, "Young Lord, you think properly, how much did the old palace lord worry over the White Night Sacred Palace? In order to let you be the young lord, how much did he rack his brain? Could it be that you''re going to hand over his life''s effort to people on a silver platter, then be swallowed up by the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace? You''re the old palace lord''s favorite successor. Could it be that you''re really going to let him die with everlasting regrets?"


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, his eyes finally had an additional trace of light.


    But, he dimmed down again very quickly and said, "But �� under these current circumstances, we already don''t have a trace of hope anymore!"


    When Mo Yun saw Bai Chen finally pull it together a little, a ray of hope finally ignited in his heart.


    He plucked his spirits up and said, "No, we still have hope!"


    Bai Chen''s eyes revealed a hint of puzzlement and said, "Still have hope? You look. Right now in this place, there''s only you and me left!"


    Mo Yun said, "Go find Lord Ye Yuan! He''s our last hope!"

 1416 Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Frui

    "Lord Ye Yuan? He �� Although his strength is powerful, it doesn''t reach Heaven Glimpse Realm either, right?" Bai Chen said with some doubt.


    In this struggle for the position of palace lord, without Heaven Glimpse Realm strength, it was impossible to speak any further.


    The old palace lord''s death was too sudden and had yet to hand over authority to Bai Chen in time. Hence, there was not a single Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse currently standing on his side!


    The only one that he could rely on now was Mo Yun.


    In the Wilderness Forest, the strength that Ye Yuan displayed was indeed incredible.


    But the realm that he exhibited was only grand completion Grotto Profound.


    One could only say that his Sword Dao laws comprehension was exceedingly high. But facing genuine Heavenly Dao powerhouses, it was still inadequate to look at.


    In front of Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses, Grotto Profound martial artists were not enough to look at at all!


    Mo Yun said, "I don''t know. But I have a feeling that this Lord Ye Yuan isn''t as simple as he seems on the surface! Perhaps, he was sent by heaven to save us! Young Lord, I know that the old palace lord''s death is a huge blow to you, but you must pull it together right now! The old palace lord is already no longer around. If even his foundation is lost, we''d really have no face to face him in the future."


    Bai Chen''s expression became stern, finally forcefully rousing his spirit.


    "Okay, I''ll go and find Lord Ye Yuan! I �� What should I do?"


    Mo Yun said without the slightest hesitation, "Acknowledge him as your master!"


    Bai Chen was stunned and said, "Acknowledge him as my master? Then what about you?"


    Mo Yun smiled and said, "I already don''t have anything that I can teach you. But Lord Ye Yuan is different! His understanding of Dao is far above mine! If you can acknowledge him as your master, your future is limitless!"


    ...


    At the place Ye Yuan was staying at, Bai Chen''s entire person appeared rather overcautious.


    "Lord Ye Yuan, I wonder if your rest yesterday was still well?" Bai Chen rubbed the sweat on the palm of his hands, seeming somewhat nervous and uneasy.


    "Still alright. Didn''t have time to speak to you yesterday either, uh �� my condolences," Ye Yuan said.


    Hearing these words, Bai Chen''s heart became sour, nearly shedding tears.


    But, upon thinking of Teacher Mo Yun''s instructions, he forcefully suppressed the grief in his heart and forced a smile as he said, "Many thanks, Lord Ye Yuan! Originally wanted to invite Lord Ye Yuan to be a guest, didn''t expect that the family suddenly suffered a sudden turn of events. Truly �� sorry."


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Whatever you have, just say it. I don''t like to beat around the bush."


    Bai Chen''s bit of shrewdness was not enough to look at in front of Ye Yuan at all. He was seen through by Ye Yuan with one glance.


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled. He discovered that the things Teacher Mo Yun taught were of no use at all.


    With this, sorrow hit him, and Bai Chen knelt down with a thud.


    "Lord Ye Yuan, Bai Chen is already forced into a dead end. Your Excellency please take pity and save me! This Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit was given to me by Father. Originally, it was intended to help me break through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. Now, I''m giving it to Your Excellency. I beg Your Excellency to accept me as a disciple and help me ascend to the position of palace lord!" Bai Chen said indignantly.


    Ye Yuan maintained composure on the surface, but in his heart, a series of great waves was stirred up.


    One of the missions, the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, he did not expect that it appeared in front of him so easily.


    As long as he agreed, he could bring it back to hand in the missions.


    According to the records of the mission, the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit was a heaven and earth spiritual fruit. Grand completion Grotto Profound Realm martial artists just had to consume it and they would have a 30% chance of directly breaking through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    Half-step Heaven Glimpse martial artists consuming, there was a 60% chance to break through to Heaven Glimpse Realm!


    To those powerhouses stuck at this checkpoint, unable to break through, it was undoubtedly a miracle elixir.


    Using it to refine a Two-star divine pill, the effects were even more terrifying.


    It was just that to Ye Yuan, his goal was not the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit. No matter how good this thing was, he did not care either.


    Ye Yuan received the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit and played for a bit, and said with a smile, "Actually, you''re not suitable to be the palace lord. Why is there a need to intentionally get involved in a messy situation?"


    Bai Chen was weak and indecisive, his personality too simple. His strength was not powerful also. Becoming the palace, he would be toyed to death by people sooner or later.


    This point, Ye Yuan had long understood it.


    Bai Chong this kind of person, if it were Ye Yuan, he would have long killed him with a palm, but Bai Chen kept refusing to deal the blow.


    Such weak and indecisiveness, it was hard to take on major responsibilities.


    Bai Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I �� I can learn! Teacher Mo Yun said, even though Your Excellency is young, your mind is even more mature than his! Furthermore, your Martial Dao comprehensions are exceedingly deep, making me acknowledge you as master no matter what! If �� If you don''t agree, we''ll back out of this struggle for the position of palace lord and go far away henceforth and not come back!"


    Ye Yuan paced around, seemingly thinking.


    Bai Chen''s current mood was like a well where seven buckets were drawn up and eight dropped down[1].


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan put away the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit and said coolly, "I''ll help you take care of this first."


    Bai Chen was stunned, then immediately revealed a look of wild elation and kowtowed toward Ye Yuan. "Disciple Bai Chen, pays respect to Master!"


    Ye Yuan took out a small bottle and threw it to Bai Chen, saying, "These things, just take it as master-acknowledging gifts."


    Bai Chen was rather puzzled. He did not recognize these medicinal pills.


    "Master, then �� I wonder what this disciple should do next?" Bai Chen consulted.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Go keep vigil for your father properly. Tomorrow �� what should be done should still be done!"


    ...


    Bai Chen left Ye Yuan''s residence with a perplexed look and found Mo Yun.


    Ye Yuan''s words left him at a loss.


    "How is it? Did Lord Ye Yuan �� agree?" Mo Yun immediately went up to ask when he saw Bai Chen.


    Bai Chen nodded his head woodenly and said, "Agreed."


    Mo Yun could not help being overjoyed the moment he heard and said, "Excellent! I indeed didn''t see it wrongly! He definitely has a way to save us! How is it? What instructions did he have?"


    Bai Chen repeated Ye Yuan''s words with a puzzled expression and said, "Teacher Mo Yun, what do you think Master Ye Yuan meant?"


    Mo Yun was even more overjoyed the moment he heard and said, "You, this child, seriously �� Lord Ye Yuan not saying anything means that he already has a well-thought-out plan! Tomorrow''s discussion, let''s just care about showing up. Leave the rest to him!"


    Bai Chen was still somewhat only half understood it. Mo Yun let out a sigh and asked, "That Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, he accepted it?"


    Bai Chen nodded and said, "Yeah, he even gave me a large bottle of medicinal pills as a master-disciple acknowledgment gift."


    As he said, Bai Chen took out the medicinal pills Ye Yuan gave.


    Mo Yun received the medicinal pills and examined it in detail. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.


    "This �� This ��"


    Bai Chen had a blank look as he said, "What is it, Teacher Mo Yun? Do these medicinal pills have anything wrong?"


    Mo Yun looked at him with a complicated expression and only said after a long time: "These medicinal pills �� if I didn''t see wrongly, it should be called Divine Essence Pill! It''s just that �� these medicinal pills'' grade is extremely high. It should reach divine-grade!"


    "Divine-grade medicinal pills! The �� The legendary divine-grade medicinal pills?" Bai Chen said in shock.


    Due to the limitations of Heavenly Dao, inside ordinary small worlds, it was totally impossible to refine divine-grade medicinal pills.


    But the Sky Foothill World continuously had Heavenspan World''s powerhouses entering to train and was not completely ignorant about Heavenspan World''s medicinal pills.


    Divine-grade middle-grade, that was the legendary grade!


    Mo Yun nodded his head deeply and said with a complicated expression, "Many years ago, the old palace lord had once killed a trial-taker who came from the outside world and obtained this kind of medicinal pills from him!"


    [1] In turmoil.

 1417 I Disagree!

    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled. His gaze revealed a look of astonishment.


    "I-Impossible! How can Master Ye Yuan possibly be an outside trial-taker? I �� I completely couldn''t perceive it at all!"


    Trial-takers were not some secret among the Sky Foothill World''s upper echelons. With Bai Chen''s status, he had clearly heard before.


    Mo Yun sucked in a deep breath and said, "I won''t see wrongly! These medicinal pills are extremely similar to the medicinal pills on that trial-taker''s body! It''s just that the medicinal properties are much stronger than that!"


    Bai Chen''s eyes revealed an extremely complicated look. Clearly, his inner-heart was also struggling fiercely.


    The Sky Foothill Divine Palace had once issued a strict order. Upon discovering trial-takers, kill them without amnesty!


    Now, what should they do?


    This trial-taker was the life-savior of these master and disciple!


    "Then �� Then what should we do? Go �� Go to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace and report him? No way! Absolutely not! Master Ye Yuan is my life-savior. I can''t do this kind of repaying kindness with an ingratitude action!"


    Bai Chen directly denied the idea of going to report Ye Yuan. But he also did not know what he should do and fell into a dilemma for a moment.


    Mo Yun said in a solemn voice, "These trial-takers treat our Sky Foothill World as a breeding ground, taking whatever they please, and is the enemy of all of us Sky Foothill martial artists! How can this kind of person be indulged?"


    Bai Chen''s expression flickered incessantly, falling silent.


    Finally, he still said, "I, Bai Chen, would rather be reviled for generation after generation and also not be willing to be a person who repays kindness with ingratitude! Master Ye Yuan agreed to help me under this sort of circumstances. If I betray him instead, what''s the difference from a pig or a dog? Teacher Mo Yun, if you disagree with my decision, I won''t force you either. You can go and report Master Ye Yuan, but I''ll live and die together with him!"


    Mo Yun did not expect that his disciple would actually say these words. A conflicted look appeared on his face and he finally still heaved a sigh and said, "Alright then, who asked you and me to be as close as father and son! Since you''ve already decided, I''ll walk this path with you until it''s dark!"


    Bai Chen did not know that his every action was all under Ye Yuan''s surveillance.


    And his decision saved his own life too.


    With Ye Yuan''s cautiousness, how could he possibly make this kind of low-level mistake?


    Him deliberately doing so was actually giving Bai Chen a chance to choose.


    If he helped Bai Chen sit on the seat of palace lord and he opened his mouth to ask for the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone in the future, Bai Chen would definitely suspect.


    Since he was going to expose his identity sooner or later, might as well let Bai Chen know earlier.


    If Bai Chen betrayed him, he would kill Bai Chen without the slightest hesitation.


    Ye Yuan''s objective of coming to the Sky Foothill World was very simple, it was for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.


    That was Mu Lingxue''s life-saving object. Ye Yuan absolutely would not allow any accidents!


    Even if he was not willing to kill Bai Chen.


    Fortunately, Bai Chen chose to stand on his side.


    ...


    In the White Night Sacred Palace''s great hall, Bai Xiu sat on the seat of honor, his brows tightly knitted.


    "I''ve just received the news. A large group of Autumn Rain Sacred Palace powerhouses has already entered the White Night Sacred Palace''s sphere of influence. There are probably still a few days and they''ll reach here! Most likely �� we must come up with a conclusion today!"


    The moment these words came out, the expressions on everyone''s faces were all different.


    Some were worried, some were afraid, some were angry.


    The truest face of human nature could probably only be seen at this time as well.


    "Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency, I think there isn''t anything to discuss! This position of palace lord, regardless of which son takes it, it''s not suitable. Best for you to take over the position of palace lord!" said an elder.


    The moment these words came out, somebody immediately concurred: "Yeah. Facing a formidable foe, although the young masters are all pretty good, they don''t enjoy high prestige and command universal respect like Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency. There''s nothing to discuss, so it''s decided like this!"


    "Deputy Palace Lord, Your Excellency''s strength is the most powerful, prestige the highest. Only with you coming forward, can it lead us to resist the powerful enemy! This position of palace lord, accept it!" said another person.


    There were a total of eight elders present. They were all Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.


    The moment they spoke, there were already three elders who agreed.


    The remainder, each and every one of their faces all revealed looks of struggle. But they were leaning toward Bai Xiu as well.


    "What are you all still waiting for? Could it be waiting for our White Night Sacred Palace to be exterminated, then you all will choose the new palace lord?" said the elder who spoke first earlier.


    Everyone''s expression changed. This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel''s back.


    "Alright, I �� I agree!"


    "I agree too!"


    "I �� agree!"


    The elders all expressed their attitudes one after another, all agreeing for Bai Xiu to take over the seat of palace lord.


    Bai Xiu was wildly elated in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a difficult expression and said, "This �� How can this do? The White Night Sacred Palace was established by the previous, previous generation palace lord single-handedly, and brought to greater heights in the hands of the old palace lord. What capabilities do I, Bai Xiu, have, to dare succeed the position of palace lord?"


    "My Lord Deputy Palace lord, stop declining it! You''re surnamed Bai too, and are brothers in arms with the old palace lord. Why can''t you be the palace lord? Keep declining and the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace will slaughter to the doorstep!"


    "Yeah, Deputy Palace Lord, just agree!"


    ...


    The few elders were anxious too, all urging Bai Xiu to succeed the position of palace lord.


    Although Bai Xiu was also surnamed Bai, he was not a blood relative of the old palace lord.


    In terms of blood lineage, it was naturally the few sons who were the most orthodox.


    It was just that at this time, there was already no one who cared about what they thought.


    Bai Xiu heaved a long sigh and said, "Since that''s the case, then Bai Xiu will make the best of things and take over the position of palace lord! But I''ll declare it first, I''m only temporarily acting in the position of palace lord. When they grow up, we''ll choose a young master with the greatest prestige to succeed the position of palace lord again!"


    The moment these words came out, the elders'' faces all revealed looks of relief.


    "Palace Lord, Your Excellency, truly understands the principles of right and wrong, to actually consider so thoroughly! Then this matter is decided! Today, we''ll announce to the entire White Night Sacred Palace in the name of the Elders Association, Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu will take over the position of palace lord!" said the elder.


    The other few elders also nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with Bai Xiu''s attitude.


    Bai Xiu smiled and said, "Alright, then that''s it for today first! Facing a formidable enemy, I must go and arrange for some things. This matter of announcing to the world will have to trouble the elders!"


    "I disagree!"


    Right at this time, the Ye Yuan who remained silent all along finally spoke up.


    The elders looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, not recognizing this guy at all.


    A guy without the slightest divine essence undulation on his body actually dared to talk drivel here?


    "Where did this crackpot come from? To actually dare act wildly in the Elders Association? How can the matters that the Elders Association decided be what you can disagree?" That elder who had always endorsed Bai Xiu immediately spoke up to berate.


    Under this current situation, Bai Chen had long already been marginalized.


    Although he came to the Elders Association, nobody would care about his opinion at all.


    As for who he brought, there was naturally even less who paid attention.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan looked just like a mortal.


    Too unremarkable!


    Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to look at him. He just looked toward Bai Xiu and said with a faint smile, "Hey, your acting is pretty good! But �� it ends here. I don''t agree with you becoming the palace lord!"

 1418 Domineering Subjugation!

    The group of elders had baffled looks, exchanging glances.


    Who was this? He had a problem with his brain, right?


    Who the hell were you? You said disagree and we would follow your words?


    What has it got to do with you?!


    "Bai Chen, manage the men under you properly! I know that you have grievances in your heart, but you have to put the interests of the whole above all else. Right now isn''t the time to throw tantrums!"


    "Yeah! Where did this brat pop out from? To actually dare talk drivel here!"


    The group of elders all turned the spearhead at Bai Chen. After all, they could not see through Ye Yuan''s depths at all and even thought that Ye Yuan was deliberately sent by Bai Chen to cause trouble.


    Bai Chen said coolly, "Forgot to introduce to everyone, this is my newly-acknowledged master! In the future, he shall also be the White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder! His words are my opinion."


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces all changed.


    "Nonsense! Bai Chen, if you''re so unbridled again, then don''t blame us, this bunch of old fellows, for not caring about the old palace lord''s old sentiments, and chase you out of the White Night Sacred Palace!" The elder who endorsed Bai Xiu reproached Bai Chen.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Elder Bai Rong, right? Is your brain damaged? You and Bai Xiu, two people acting out a carefully choreographed dance, and still want to chase the young lord appointed by the old palace lord out of the White Night Sacred Palace?"


    Bai Rong''s expression turned sullen and he said, "Ignorant child, keep talking nonsense! Do you believe this old man will tear your mouth or not?"


    But Ye Yuan ignored him and said to the other elders, "I''ll only ask everyone one sentence, is Bai Chen the most qualified to succeed the position of palace lord as the successor that the old palace lord appointed?"


    The various elders exchanged glances. Suddenly, someone spoke up, "That''s of course! According to the White Night Sacred Palace''s rules, the young lord is the first-in-line successor! It''s just ��"


    That elder still wanted to carry on speaking, but he was directly interrupted by Ye Yuan. "Good that there''s that! You all not letting him be the palace lord is nothing more than feeling that he''s still young and his strength is insufficient to convince the public, yes?"


    The elders nodded their heads slightly, not having any objections about this.


    Facing a great enemy, letting a young man still wet behind his ears go and preside over the overall situation, this was no different from courting death.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I''ll now support Bai Chen up onto the position of palace lord in the name of Bai Chen''s master! Those who are unconvinced, come and battle!"


    It was this simple and crude!


    Whatever schemes and intrigues were all paper tigers in front of absolute strength!


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s words in other people''s views were a total joke.


    Because Ye Yuan looked just like an ordinary person.


    Even Bai Chen''s palms were sweating too.


    Bai Xiu was a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses, much stronger than Master Ye Yuan.


    But he forcefully calmed down. He did not wish to lose face for his master at this time.


    Bai Xiu''s eyes narrowed slightly. The pressure of Heaven Glimpse Realm slowly released and he said in a solemn voice, "Your meaning is that you want to challenge me?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not you, it''s you all! Those who are not convinced, attacking together will do too!"


    "Wildly arrogant!"


    "Ignorant!"


    "Insolent!"


    Ye Yuan''s arrogance finally aroused the elders'' wrath.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t talk crap anymore, attack!"


    Bai Xiu slowly walked down and said with a cold smile, "If you can beat me, what''s wrong with letting Bai Chen inherit the position of palace lord?"


    With the old palace lord not being around any longer, Bai Xiu was the White Night Sacred Palace''s number one person.


    If not for so, he would not dare to usurp this position of palace lord either.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You? Too weak! Don''t blame me for not giving you guys a chance. Attack together! All of the elders, attack together!"


    "What a conceited and ignorant brat! This old man is going to measure just how much you weight today!"


    "This old man has lived to a ripe old age, it''s still my first time seeing such a wildly arrogant person! Fine, as you wish!"


    "Forget it, forget it, a farce! Since you''re seeking death yourself, this old man will send you on your way too!"


    ...


    Eight great elders stepped out of the ranks one after another, standing together with Bai Xiu.


    Nine mighty Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses standing together, how shocking was the imposing momentum?


    Bai Chen''s heart almost leaped to his throat. He completely did not think that Master Ye Yuan was actually arrogant to such a degree, wanting to challenge nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses with his power alone!


    A Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artist challenging nine great Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses, this was crazy, right?


    Yesterday, Ye Yuan made him ignore everything. But he did not think that Ye Yuan used this kind of method to let him ascend to the position of palace lord.


    Although the effect of this approach was immediate, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan had to defeat them!


    Bai Chen could not resist exchanging a glance with Mo Yun, discovering that Mo Yun also had an inexplicably stunned appearance at this time.


    It was just that things already developed to such a degree, it was impossible for them to go and stop it anymore.


    There were still a few of the old palace lord''s sons present, all using gloating expressions to look at Bai Chen.


    No idea where Bai Chen found such a living treasure either; this was the tempo of playing himself to death!


    Ye Yuan alone faced nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses but stood firm as a rock.


    The nine people''s auras completely could not affect Ye Yuan.


    "Kid, you''re seeking death yourself, don''t blame us for being ruthless!" Bai Rong said with a hideous grin.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Attack then, don''t talk nonsense anymore!"


    "Wildly arrogant!"


    Bai Rong was furious. His aura instantly soared to the peak, rushing over toward Ye Yuan!


    The others did not hold back either, all displaying divine abilities. A terrifying power shook until the entire great hall was quaking.


    Everyone of them, especially Bai Xiu, each suppressed a stomach-full of anger. It was just that it was inappropriate for Bai Xiu to flare up.


    Now that Ye Yuan was seeking death, he did not hold back even more. The moment he made his move, it was the fiercest killing move!


    Under the besiegement of nine great experts, Ye Yuan was weak like an insignificant ant.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a move. He still stood with his hands behind his back.


    It looked like he was waiting for death.


    "Master Ye Yuan!"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed drastically, suddenly standing up, wanting to rush over, but was held back by Mo Yun.


    Got to be joking, rushing over at this time, Bai Chen would be blasted into smithereens too!


    It was indeed a farce!


    What the nine great elders were thinking in their hearts at this time was all this.


    But right at this time, a gust of sinister wind howled.


    Beside Ye Yuan, a figure appeared since no idea when.


    The moment he appeared, the temperature in the entire great hall plummeted by a few degrees.


    Ever since cultivating the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Gui Yun seemed to have become even gloomier and colder.


    It was only to see him mutter under his breath, drawing a bizarre rune on his hand, and saying indifferently, "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes �� Nether Ghostclaw!"


    Suddenly, a surge of terrifying aura came from underground. A dark enormous claw seemed to have extended out from the netherworld.


    The nine great elders'' bodies were all in midair. But seeing this, their expressions changed greatly. An aura of death hit head-on.


    After the enormous claw extended out, it seemed to have grown eyes, clawing over towards the nine great elders.


    The few people revealed a look of great shock. How could they still care about Ye Yuan? They slammed all their attacks at the ghost claw.


    Boom!


    The ghost claw directly smacked those attacks down!


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    At virtually the same time, the nine great elders spewed fresh blood wildly one after another, being smacked down onto the ground by this ghost claw''s power.

 1419 Taking the Initiative to Meet the Attack

    "S-So strong!"


    Bai Chen drew a mouthful of cold air, being stunned by the Nether Ghostclaw''s power.


    One claw bringing down nine great Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses, this strength was simply too heaven-defying.


    "That �� That is a late-stage Heaven Glimpse Ghost Dao powerhouse, right? Such a powerhouse, why would he follow this guy?"


    "Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu and this Ghost Dao powerhouse''s strength is more or less the same, but he was actually defeated so badly!"


    "The aura of that ghost claw just now was too terrifying. I felt that my soul was taken away. Just what the hell was that?"


    ...


    When the few young masters saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Gui Yun''s appearance was seriously too astonishing, mowing down nine great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses in one move.


    The key was that this kind of powerful Ghost Dao powerhouse actually submitted under Ye Yuan''s rule!


    Each and every one of them was incredibly envious. If they had a hired thug like this, wouldn''t becoming the palace lord be a cinch?


    In the end, a large fist was the absolute principle!


    Whatever legitimacy, whatever schemes and intrigues, one could only submit in the face of absolute strength.


    Ye Yuan looked at the nine great elders in a sorry plight and said coolly, "I wonder if now, Young Lord Bai Chen has the qualifications to succeed the position of palace lord or not?"


    The nine great elders'' faces were all incomparably ugly, but nobody said anything.


    "If you all are not talking, I''ll take it as you guys agreed! Bai Chen, sit on the seat that belongs to you in the first place!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    At this time, Bai Chen started trembling all over because of agitation.


    Even after Ye Yuan yelled out, he still stood there in a daze, at a loss on what to do.


    Mo Yun was incomparably joyful too. Giving him a pat on the back, he said with a smile, "Go on, what are you still in a daze for?"


    Only then did Bai Chen suddenly wake up fully, walking step by step over toward that seat belonging to the palace lord.


    "Hang on!" Bai Xiu struggled to stand up as he stopped.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him indifferently and said, "Why? You still have objections?"


    Bai Xiu said in a solemn voice, "Bai Chen, this guy''s origins are unclear. Your act of simply acknowledging a master, are you going to push the White Night Sacred Palace into an abyss of eternal doom?"


    At this time, Mo Yun spoke up, "Lord Ye Yuan is a reclusive powerhouse. As for the thing that you''re worrying about, that''s impossible! Bai Chong that treacherous villain colluded with the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, wanting to besiege Young Lord Bai Chen in the Wilderness Forest. Lord Ye Yuan annihilated over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses, including Wu Xin, with one sword, only then, rescuing us! It''s precisely because Lord Ye Yuan''s strength is formidable, that I let Young Lord Bai Chen acknowledge him as master, assisting Young Lord Bai Chen to defend the foreign enemy together!"


    When Bai Xiu and the eight great elders heard this, their expressions changed once more.


    They still thought that Ye Yuan''s might was entirely dependent on this Ghost Dao powerhouse. They did not expect that his own strength was actually so formidable too!


    More importantly, they actually could not fathom Ye Yuan''s depths!


    Wu Xin''s strength, they were naturally very clear. It was evenly-matched with Mo Yun.


    One sword annihilating over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses, even they could not do it too.


    With this, no one had objections anymore.


    No matter how the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace used a ruse of inflicting self-injury in order to win the confidence of the enemy, it was also impossible to give away the lives of over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses in vain.


    Although the sacred palace''s Grotto Profound powerhouses were quite a few, over a dozen Grotto Profound powerhouses was already a force that could not be ignored.


    No matter how foolish the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s palace lord was, he would not do this kind of thing either.


    "If nobody has objections, then I''ll invite the Elders Association to announce to the world. Young Lord Bai Chen will take over the position of palace lord from this day forth! Deputy Palace Lord Bai Xiu, I wonder if you still have objections?"


    Ye Yuan used a very indifferent gaze to look at Bai Xiu. No idea why, Bai Xiu involuntarily shuddered.


    "I �� I have no objections! Young Lord Bai Chen taking over as palace lord is right and proper to begin with!" Bai Chen said with some unwillingness.


    Even Bai Xiu had no objections, the others naturally had no objections too.


    Just like this, Bai Chen successfully became the White Night Sacred Palace''s new palace lord!


    The matter was urgent, the Elders Association announced to the world on that day, proclaiming that Young Lord Bai Chen succeeded the position of palace lord.


    Having come this far, the struggle to become the palace lord finally settled down!


    "Master Ye Yuan, what should my next step be?"


    Although he became the palace lord, Bai Chen had no plans at all.


    Right away, he fought Ye Yuan to inquire about the plan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''re the palace lord. What should be done, you need to have a score in your heart! I can help you be the palace lord, but I can''t possibly help you for life. Those old fellows are all not to be trifled with. If you don''t grow up as soon as possible, you''ll be eaten by them until not even bone residue is left."


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, suddenly recalling Ye Yuan''s, identity.


    He would eventually leave one day. It was impossible to keep on helping him by his side.


    Once Ye Yuan left, what he would be facing was a horde of savage beasts!


    Mo Yun''s expression turned slightly grim too and he said, "Palace Lord, what Lord Ye Yuan said makes sense! In the past, you had the old palace lord protecting you, so the others don''t dare to do anything to you. But now, everything can only rely on yourself!"


    Bai Chen''s expression flickered incessantly and he said rather jittery: "But I �� I ��"


    Ye Yuan said, "Just go do what you want to do! With me around, you can be unrestrained! What you have to do is to grow up within the shortest time!"


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with a strange gaze.


    Meeting Ye Yuan''s calm gaze, not knowing why, Bai Chen''s originally flustered thoughts calmed down a lot suddenly.


    "Teacher Mo Yun, summon all of the White Night Sacred Palace''s Deity Realm powerhouses. Tomorrow morning, set off for the frontiers, we''ll take the initiative to meet the attack! I''m going to let the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s people know that our White Night Sacred Palace is not easy to bully!" Bai Chen said in a solemn voice.


    At this moment, Bai Chen''s body inexplicably had an additional trace of domineeringness.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help smiling slightly.


    It seemed like a series of setbacks finally made this greenhouse flower grow up.


    At this time, Ye Yuan threw out a small medicinal bottle and said, "Take this thing. The effect shouldn''t be inferior to the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit. In the Elders Association, we need our own elder too."


    Mo Yun''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with great surprise, and looked at the medicinal pill in his hands again.


    "Lord Ye Yuan, Mo Yun �� is forever in debt!"


    At this time, the excitement in Mo Yun''s heart truly could not be greater.


    He was stuck at half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm for no idea how many years already. But kept being unable to break through this hurdle.


    The Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, this sort of thing, was too precious. Not everybody could obtain it.


    The old palace lord also only had that one in his hands. It was left to Bai Chen.


    And now, Ye Yuan casually gave him a medicinal pill that could break through this heavenly chasm. How could he not be agitated?


    This medicinal pill was called Jade Dragon Heaven Glimpse Pill, a pill formula in Dustless''s hands.


    When Ye Yuan was practicing medicinal pills, he casually refined it.


    This medicinal pill was a pinnacle-most existence among Tier 1 medicinal pills, capable of increasing the chances of a martial artist''s breakthrough.


    This was especially true for half-step Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. They already had a certain understanding of Heaven Glimpse Realm. Consuming the Jade Dragon Heaven Glimpse Pill, the effects were naturally greatly increased.


    As long as Mo Yun''s talent was not too poor, breaking through to Heaven Glimpse should not be an issue.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, "Presumably, you guys also know, I''m not devoid of desires or requests by helping you all. Just take this as a bit of repayment."


    Mo Yun and Bai Chen trembled all over, their gazes revealing a complicated look.

 1420 With Me Around, You Can Be Capricious!

    Above the sky, several dozen figures whistled past, with a shocking commotion.


    With so many Deity Realm powerhouses moving out at the same time, this was absolutely an extremely rare situation in the Sky Foothill World.


    The mortals were all guessing that some earth-shaking major incident must have happened, and that was why there were so many major figures moving out at the same time.


    Deity Realm powerhouses traveled ten thousand miles in a twinkle. Three days later, the White Night Sacred Palace and the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Deity Realm powerhouses finally met on a narrow path!


    The person in the front ranks of the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace was an old geezer. Seeing the White Night Sacred Palace''s people, he could not help being surprised.


    He already got the news that the White Night Palace Lord, Bai Yehai, was poisoned and died. Hence, he brought a large group of experts and charged over.


    It was just that he did not expect that the White Night Sacred Palace''s people actually dared to charge right out.


    He swept a glance through the crowd and said with a big laugh, "Where is Bai Yehai that old thing? Why didn''t he come? He didn''t dare to come, so he sent you, a little child, here to court death? Hahaha ��"


    Bai Chen was angered until he was trembling all over. He pointed at the other party and said furiously, "Huo Tianyang, you''re shameless!"


    This Huo Tianyang was precisely the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s palace lord, a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse!


    And the White Night Sacred Palace''s internal strife was precisely plotted by him singlehandedly.


    This sowing discord strategy could not be said to not be ruthless, directly making the White Night Palace Lord Bai Yehai perished, his Dao disappearing.


    Right now, the White Night Sacred Palace was a host of dragons without a head. They were about to borrow this opportunity to thoroughly wipe out the White Night Sacred Palace.


    Bai Chen was still not mature enough in the end. With this anger, it thoroughly gave the whole thing away.


    When the eight great elders behind him saw the situation, they all secretly shook their heads.


    At this time, they should be putting on a false show of strength and let Huo Tianyang be unable to make a decision. Only then would they have hopes of scaring away the other party and win a chance to eke out a meager existence.


    The moment Huo Tianyang heard, he laughed even more arrogantly and said, "My good nephew, looks like you have already become the palace lord! It''s just too bad that �� you as the palace lord can only be until today!"


    Bai Chen said furiously, "Huo Tianyang, don''t be impudent! Today, even if we fight it out till the fish dies and net tears, I''ll also make you pay a blood price!"


    Huo Tianyang laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Till the fish dies and net tears? Hahaha, even if the fish dies, the net won''t tear! Bai Yehai is not around. Just based on you guys, this bunch of stragglers and stray soldiers, also want to fight it out to the death? Today, your White Night Sacred Palace will be struck off the books from the Sky Foothill World!"


    Huo Tianyang was in high spirits currently, full of domineeringness.


    The moment grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm released, the White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses'' all changed countenance.


    Under this pressure, Bai Chen''s complexion became deathly pale, and he unconsciously looked over towards Ye Yuan there.


    However, Ye Yuan was expressionless, as if he was in a daze, not giving him any hints at all.


    He resolved his heart and mustered up all of his strength to resist this pressure.


    His gaze suddenly focused toward Bai Xiu. He said, "Bai Xiu, if I die in battle today, you''ll be the lord of White Night! I hope that you''ll lead everybody to keep fighting regardless of death! Even if one last person is left, don''t shrink back either!"


    Bai Xiu''s entire body trembled, not expecting that Bai Chen would actually say such words.


    At this moment, Bai Chen''s image in his heart was magnified infinitely.


    Originally, he was only forced to acknowledge this palace lord because he was afraid of Ye Yuan.


    But now, Bai Chen''s gust actually stimulated him until his hot blood boiled!


    In reality, although Ye Yuan defeated them, Bai Xiu did not think that Gui Yun could defeat Huo Tianyang.


    At most, it was also just adding a little confidence to them.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up too, his gaze revealing an approving look.


    Who knew how many hearts this sentence would buy over for Bai Chen!


    This kid was also not absolutely without merit huh.


    Bai Xiu''s eyes were actually slightly wet. Gritting his teeth, he cupped his fists and said, "Rest assured, Palace Lord, Bai Xiu will definitely fight to the bitter end! Bai Rong, if I die, you''ll be the lord of White Night! We''ll fight to the end and absolutely not shrink back!"


    Bai Rong''s entire body trembled too and said, "Fight to the end and absolutely not shrink back!"


    "Fight to the end and absolutely not shrink back!"


    "Fight to the end and absolutely not shrink back!"


    ...


    The resounding slogan shocked the entire world!


    The moral on the White Night Sacred Palace''s side rose unprecedentedly.


    Seeing this scene, Huo Tianyang''s expression changed slightly too.


    He did not expect that this brat still wet behind the ears actually had such magical powers, to actually be able to trigger the fresh blood of that bunch of old fellows which had long turned cold.


    An army burning with righteous indignation was bound to win!


    Under this sort of circumstance, even if he won today, it would definitely be a pyrrhic victory too.


    The generals disregarding their lives, the soldiers not fearing death.


    This battle was not easy to win!


    Except, when the arrow was on the notch, it must fly.


    He did not believe, with his grand completion Heaven Glimpse strength, these guys could still flip the heavens?


    However, before he could react, Bai Chen raised his long spear and stabbed over towards him brazenly.


    "Kill!!!"


    Bai Chen gave a fierce cry, carrying indomitable imposing momentum, and charged over towards Huo Tianyang.


    At this moment, a hint of understanding was actually born in his heart! His spear art achieved a breakthrough at this moment!


    Except, no matter how he broke through, he still could not stand up to a single blow in front of Huo Tianyang.


    "Palace Lord, you mustn''t!"


    Bai Xiu completely did not think that Bai Chen actually charged straight at Huo Tianyang.


    This move did not hold back. Bai Chen went harboring the resolve of certain death!


    The words earlier were not in order to inspire their morale. He was really going to show his determination with death, stimulating everyone''s fighting spirits!


    One Bai Chen had no influence on the battle situation.


    But the moment he died, the situation would be completely different!


    At this moment, he actually gained admiration towards this palace lord, and also truly acknowledged him in his heart!


    It was just too bad �� he was already too late.


    Huo Tianyang naturally understood this logic too. His brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "Seeking death!"


    Huo Tianyang raised a pair of fleshy palm and smacked over towards Bai Chen.


    A palm move of a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse, what kind of power was that?


    A hint of a liberated faint smile actually revealed at the corners of Bai Chen''s mouth.


    But right at this time, a dark-black enormous claw extended out from the void.


    Bai Chen''s spear had yet to stab out and was bounced back by a massive force!


    Boom!


    Huo Tianyang''s palm collided together solidly with the enormous claw, kicking up a wave of massive undulation!


    Evenly matched!


    Huo Tianyang''s expression suddenly changed, staring fixedly at Gui Yun, akin to being confronted by a formidable enemy!


    "A-Actually stopped it! Truly inconceivable!" When Bai Xiu saw this scene, his gaze was full of disbelief.


    A late-stage Heaven Glimpse Ghost Dao powerhouse actually blocked the all-out attack of a grand completion Heaven Glimpse?


    Only at this time did he know that Ye Yuan showed mercy to them that day!


    Otherwise, not a single one of them could live!


    "S-So strong!"


    "What''s that black ghost claw? Why would it have such a terrifying strength?"


    "That Ghost Dao powerhouse has such formidable strength, to actually be able to fight to a draw with the palace lord!"


    ...


    The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace that side, each and every one of them also cried out sounds of exclamations all around, being utterly stunned by this scene.


    The originally almost guaranteed battle had a sudden turn of events!


    And the White Night Sacred Palace this side seeing this scene, each and every one of them was greatly roused!


    Huo Tianyang was like a huge mountain, pressing on their hearts, making them unable to gasp for air.


    Now, this huge mountain was actually held up by someone!


    "I''ve said it before that with me around, you can be capricious!"


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled. Ye Yuan already arrived behind him at no idea when.

 1421 Writing a Myth!

    "What are you still in a daze for? What I said earlier, you forgot it all?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Bai Xiu and the rest trembled all over and cried out fiercely, "Kill! Fight to the end and absolutely not shrink back!"


    The rest were inexplicably stimulated too, pouncing over together.


    Everyone came harboring the resolve to die, but did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had the ability to resist the grand completion Heaven Glimpse Huo Tianyang!


    The hot blood was still there, but they did not need to die.


    At this time, Gui Yun already clashed fervently together with Huo Tianyang.


    The Nether Ghostclaw was extremely powerful. Matching up against Huo Tianyang, it did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest!


    "Master Ye Yuan, thank you!" Bai Chen said gratefully from the bottom of his heart having barely escaped with his life.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What you just did was pretty good!"


    Bai Chen was like a child who was being praised, excited until he did not quite know what to do. He smiled bashfully and said, "R-Really?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Giving a peach, repaying with a plum! You treated them with a sincere heart, so they will naturally support you too! However, in the martial artist world, strength is forever the kingly way!"


    Bai Chen''s gaze revealed a determined look as he nodded and said, "Master, I got it! If we can defeat the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace in this battle, this disciple will definitely cultivate hard!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "There''s no if, we''ll definitely win!"


    "Truly shameless boasting! I wonder if you''ll still be so conceited if you know that you''re going to die!"


    Bai Chen was suddenly startled. It turned out that an expert from the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace already arrived not far from them since no idea when.


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression. He just said coolly: "Conceited? Very sorry, I have never been conceited."


    Bai Chen said worriedly, "Master, he''s Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s ninth elder, Lan Zhiru, initial-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse! We �� We already don''t have Heaven Glimpse powerhouse on our side!"


    At this time, both sides were in a tangled melee, but the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Heaven Glimpse powerhouses had one more person!


    Lan Zhiru could not find an opponent. He thought of coming to kill Bai Chen and Ye Yuan at the first moment.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You retreat to one side."


    Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent and he said disbelievingly, "Master, you want to deal with him alone? He �� He''s a Heaven Glimpse powerhouse! Come, men! Quickly come, men! Everybody, deal with Lan Zhiru together!"


    Ye Yuan used a hand gesture to stop Bai Chen and said coolly, "No need. You go and help the others, leave this guy to me!"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, not knowing where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    Grotto Profound Deity Realm fighting Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm one-on-one, was this a joke?


    Lan Zhiru looked at Ye Yuan and said disdainfully, "Arrogant fellow, you think that by bringing along a Ghost Dao powerhouse by your side, you''re invincible? If I didn''t guess wrongly, you should only be Grotto Profound Realm, right?"


    He discerned from Bai Chen''s reaction that Ye Yuan was definitely a Grotto Profound Deity Realm.


    Reckon that he carried some strength concealing divine artifact on him, that was why he could not see through his depths.


    Except, this Grotto Profound Deity Realm was so conceited, to actually dare go one-on-one with him.


    What a joke!


    Ye Yuan slowly pulled out the Evil Extermination Sword and said with a calm look, "So what?"


    Lan Zhiru laughed loudly and said, "So what? In front of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, Grotto Profound Deity Realms are ant-like existences! Since ancient times, there has never been an instance of Grotto Profound Realm defeating Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, do you think that �� you''re writing a myth?"


    Ye Yuan cracked a smile and said, "Is that so? Then I''ll �� write a myth!"


    Lan Zhiru had yet to retort back in time and Ye Yuan already moved!


    Sundering Stars!


    The cutting edge of the sword drew a beautiful half-moon, bringing along a heaven-shocking Sword Dao law, and chopping down towards Lan Zhiru!


    This sword move was swift to the extreme, not giving Lan Zhiru any time to react at all.


    Although Lan Zhiru was alarmed, he did not panic. Since he could not dodge, then raise the sword to block.


    How strong could a mere Grotto Profound martial artist''s sword be?


    But when this sword''s light landed on his sword, an overwhelming force instantly spread to his whole body from the sword body!


    Clank!


    Lan Zhiru''s body was akin to a cannonball, being dropped by Ye Yuan rapidly from the air.


    Boom!


    Lan Zhiru''s body was smashed heavily into the ground, smashing out a deep pit!


    When Bai Chen saw this scene, his eyeballs were almost popping out.


    This �� This was also a little too powerful, right?


    Was Master Ye Yuan �� really a Grotto Profound Deity Realm?


    Bai Chen suddenly felt that his understanding was completely being subverted!


    "Are my eyes f*cking failing? Is Lord Ye Yuan really a Grotto Profound martial artist, actually bringing down Lan Zhiru with a sword!"


    "No mistake, the strength that Lord Ye Yuan used earlier was Grotto Profound Deity Realm and did not surpass this realm!"


    "A Grotto Profound martial artist is actually able to overpower a Heaven Glimpse powerhouse, this �� this is too inconceivable!"


    "A myth! This is absolutely a myth! Since time immemorial, there has never been a Grotto Profound martial artist capable of leaping realms to overcome Heaven Glimpse powerhouses! Lord Ye Yuan, he �� actually did it!"


    ...


    This scene was overly shocking, even alarming the crowd who were currently in tangled warfare.


    Especially those Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artists, the White Night Sacred Palace''s side occupied a considerable advantage.


    This point was naturally credited to Ye Yuan slaying over a dozen of the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Grotto Profound powerhouses with one sword.


    Not just the Sky Foothill World, even in the Heavenspan World, there were totally no Grotto Profound martial artists capable of overcoming Heaven Glimpse powerhouses too!


    Even Jin Yu, that kind of genius with extremely deep comprehensions into Sword Dao laws, could not do this either.


    Between Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm and Grotto Profound Deity Realm, these two major realms, there was an insurmountable chasm.


    Heaven Glimpse powerhouse could completely rely on the suppression of realm and forcefully crush Grotto Profound martial artists.


    In the Sky Foothill World, this kind of place, it was even less likely for a situation of jumping realms to battle to happen.


    But now, this mythology actually appeared in front of them!


    How could they not be shocked?


    Swoosh!


    Lan Zhiru sprang out from the ground and flew high in the sky once more, facing off with Ye Yuan.


    "Damn it! You despicable person, to actually dare ambush!" Lan Zhiru cursed.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly and he taunted, "Ambush is it?"


    Lan Zhiru''s expression was incomparably ugly. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, that sword move earlier had indeed posed a great threat to him!


    If not for his timely block, that sword could have taken his life!


    Until now, his arm was still numb.


    The power of that sword move was too terrifying!


    He was completely unable to imagine, a Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artist actually could unleash such a terrifying sword move!


    Clearly seemed to be an ordinary and insignificant slash, but transmitting onto his sword, it was actually able to produce such a tremendous force.


    This guy''s utilization of the power of laws had simply reached the acme of perfection!


    "Humph! Don''t you get cocky! This seat admits that your strength is pretty good, it''s just too bad that you''re still only a Grotto Profound martial artist in the end! Such a formidable martial technique, you probably can''t unleash more than a few sword moves, right? Your outcome is just death in the end!"


    Lan Zhiru shouted fiercely, raising his sword and attacking!


    "Spirit Devouring Nine Swords!"


    "Sundering Stars!"


    A Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, a Grotto Profound Deity Realm, two silhouettes, clashed together in the midst of everyone''s dumbfounded eyes.

 1422 Complete Version Sundering Stars!

    Two figures were like phantoms, intertwining each other in the air, emitting a series of horrifying sound waves.


    Regardless of whether it was the White Night Sacred Palace''s martial artists or the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s powerhouses, they were all made uneasy by the great battle here.


    Huo Tianyang''s expression was even more incomparably ugly. Just what kind of a freak did the White Night Sacred Palace find?


    Grotto Profound Deity Realm fighting fiercely with Heaven Glimpse Realm, and this battle was actually evenly-matched?


    Really a sheer fantasy!


    On Lan Zhiru''s side, the more he fought, the more alarmed he got.


    He simply did not dare to believe that such a horrifying attack, Ye Yuan was actually able to unleash it move after move!


    Those who did not know would even think that Ye Yuan was a Heaven Glimpse powerhouse.


    However, Ye Yuan was clearly just a grand completion Grotto Profound martial artist. He did not even reach half-step Heaven Glimpse.


    This guy in front of him completely ran counter to common sense!


    Ye Yuan''s chopping strike was overwhelming, making Lan Zhiru want to vomit blood several times.


    Facing a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist, he was actually being suppressed all-round!


    "I want to see just what your limit is! I don''t believe that you, a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist, can really release this kind of martial technique limitlessly!"


    Lan Zhiru was beaten by Ye Yuan until he had no strength to retaliate. He also resolved his heart to continue dawdling with Ye Yuan.


    Of course, he seemed to not have better ideas too.


    Under this sort of circumstance, the only thing that he could do was to wait for Ye Yuan''s divine essence to run out.


    At that time, it would be the chance for his counter-attack.


    Bai Chen was excited until his face flushed red. He knew that Master Ye Yuan was very strong, but did not think that he could be strong to such an extent!


    This battle, Ye Yuan would most certainly win!


    Suddenly, he raised his long spear and said sternly, "Kill, kill, kill! Blood debts need to be paid in blood! Today, we''ll make the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s vermins come without returning!"


    Done talking, Bai Chen brought along an indomitable imposing momentum and joined the tangled warfare.


    His spear art broke through before this. Now, his strength had increased greatly. Facing off against the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Grotto Profound powerhouses, he did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest.


    Under this sort of circumstance, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s declining trend gradually manifested.


    Due to low-end combat power being lacking, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Grotto Profound martial artists often had to face two, even three opponents.


    In Huo Tianyang''s original plans, although the manpower on their side was low, the high-end combat power was very adequate.


    The White Night Sacred Palace missing Bai Yehai, their side would be able to directly crush with the high-end combat power.


    In front of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realms, those Grotto Profound had no place to show their abilities at all.


    But now, he was hindered by Gui Yun, unable to make time at all.


    This way, both parties'' combat power became much more balanced.


    What was even more damnable was that Ye Yuan actually tied down the only additional Heaven Glimpse powerhouse, Lan Zhiru!


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s advantage in numbers became increasingly evident.


    Bai Chen joining the group battles, he had an appearance that feared no death, charging ahead crazily.


    He hated Huo Tianyang to the extreme. When fighting at this time, it was really without regard for his life.


    The others being infected by him, each and every one of them also became greatly roused in spirit, killing until the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace threw away their helmet and coat of mail.


    Very soon, casualties started appearing on the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s side!


    Huo Tianyang was burning with anxiety, but could not do anything to Gui Yun at all.


    The Nether Ghostclaw was truly incomparably powerful. No matter how hard he attacked, it was to no avail.


    Gui Yun''s Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was already cultivated to the third rune. Although his realm had yet to break through, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Jumping realms to battle was not a big deal to him.


    After all, this Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was the Ghost Dao''s first-rate secret art!


    Huo Tianyang never thought that the battle situation would actually play out to this kind of situation.


    How could he still think about swallowing up the White Night Sacred Palace now? He only wanted to quickly get away now.


    But the White Night Sacred Palace''s people were all crazed with fighting, each and every one of them was like being injected with stimulants, pestering incessantly, not giving them the chance to get out at all.


    Retreating at this time was too dangerous. They were bound to suffer heavy losses.


    Boom!


    Right at this time, a violent explosion sound came from the other side.


    Huo Tianyang''s expression turned austere. Finding time to sneak a glance, he could not help being greatly astonished in his heart.


    Lan Zhiru was bathed in blood from head to toe, in a sorry plight, fresh blood spraying wildly from his mouth. Clearly, he almost could not hold on anymore.


    In contrast, Ye Yuan raised his long sword and rushed over again.


    Huo Tianyang was incomparably shocked in his heart. How could a Grotto Profound Deity Realm martial artist possibly be tough to such a degree?


    Looking at it, Lan Zhiru was going to fall in Ye Yuan''s hands sooner or later!


    At the start, his thinking was the same as Lan Zhiru''s, feeling that Ye Yuan could only persist for a little while.


    That kind of swift and fierce martial technique, it was impossible to release limitlessly.


    But a long time had already passed, and Ye Yuan had released no idea how many sword moves and still did not show signs of his divine essence being depleted!


    Could it be that this guy''s divine essence was limitless?


    At this very moment, Huo Tianyang already wanted to beat a retreat in his heart.


    Carry on hesitating, the situation would probably be even worse!


    Lan Zhiru looked at Ye Yuan who was walking over slowly. His expression flickered incessantly.


    "You �� Could it be that your divine essence is endless? How �� How can it be like this?"


    Lan Zhiru''s voice was filled with helplessness and despair.


    The existence of this guy in front of him completely subverted his understanding of this world.


    Everything and everything was completely different from common sense.


    Now, he smelled the smell of death.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, "A dead person doesn''t need to know so much."


    Lan Zhiru''s expression was ugly to the extreme. Gritting his teeth, he said fiercely, "I don''t believe that a Grotto Profound can really defy the heavens! Soul Devouring Nine Sword''s Ninth Sword, Soul Devouring Blood Slaughter!"


    Suddenly, fresh blood surged within Lan Zhiru''s body. It rose up crazily.


    Huo Tianyang''s expression changed. Lan Zhiru was actually being forced to this extent?


    This Soul Devouring Blood Slaughter was sacrificing one''s life as the price, obtaining a large increase in strength within a short time.


    Although the power was extremely terrifying, when this move was used until the end, he himself would also kick the bucket.


    Lan Zhiru was going for mutual destruction here!


    Pfft!


    Bai Chen rallied a spear vigorously, directly penetrating the chest of an opposing Grotto Profound powerhouse.


    Right at this time, he sensed a powerful to the extreme aura.


    Turning back to look, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    "Not good! Master Ye Yuan is in danger!" Bai Chen''s expression changed as he said.


    "What a powerful aura! Lan Zhiru was merely a newly-entered initial-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse before this. The aura now already rose to the peak of initial-stage Heaven Glimpse!"


    "This guy is going for mutual destruction, wanting to drag Lord Ye Yuan down before his death too!"


    "Damn it! What a powerful sword! Lord Ye Yuan �� is in danger!"


    ...


    When the White Night Sacred Palace martial artists who were just finishing off the battles saw this scene, each and every one of their expressions changed greatly.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene with an indifferent look and said nonchalantly, "Boring game! Since that''s the case, I''ll use the complete version Sundering Stars to send you on your way then!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword slowly raised up.


    An ordinary and bland sword, the surroundings did not have the least bit of undulations.


    The people around them could not even perceive any aura from this act of Ye Yuan. No one could feel any undulations of the power of laws.


    "My sword! It actually �� It''s actually out of control!"


    "Mine too! It �� It''s trembling!"


    ...


    At this time, the swords in the hands of all people who used swords actually had a feeling of getting out of control.

 1423 Teaching Disciple

    Ye Yuan''s wrist shook, waving his sword down.


    Whoosh!


    Without any grand divine essence undulations, only a soft tearing through the air sound.


    Lan Zhiru''s body suddenly turned stiff, and that steadily rising aura suddenly stopped.


    Ye Yuan slowly put away his sword, his breathing appearing rather disorderly.


    The expenditure for this move was really quite big for him.


    "What �� What happened? The fight �� ended just like this?"


    "Yeah, I only saw Lord Ye Yuan wave a sword and it''s done?"


    "What move is this? Why isn''t there any undulations at all?"


    ...


    "Puhwark ��"


    Just as the people had dumbstruck faces, Lan Zhiru''s body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist.


    Soul Devouring Blood Slaughter, this move, had yet to be used and he already died thoroughly.


    The shock in Huo Tianyang''s heart could not be any greater. Lan Zhiru who used Soul Devouring Blood Slaughter was actually killed by Ye Yuan with a sword just like this!


    The truth and falsehood of that sword just now, even he, this grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse, did not see through.


    Outsiders looking over, it was just a casual wave; ordinary and bland.


    Everyone only heard the sound of tearing through the air, and then �� Lan Zhiru exploded.


    "Retreat!"


    Huo Tianyang made a prompt decision, his aura suddenly erupting, forcing back the Nether Ghostclaw a bit, his figure fleeing into the distance like lightning.


    As soon as he ran, how could the others still have the idea of continuing to fight? All were eager to escape.


    But everyone''s strength was more or less the same. So how could wanting to run be that easy?


    Therefore, the originally tangled melee became a pursuit.


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses became more courageous as they fought, while the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Deity Realm powerhouses fled as they fought. In an instant, they chased out 100 thousand miles away.


    The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Deity Realm powerhouses perished one after another. So much so that during the process of the pursuit, Bai Xiu had a grand display of invincible might, finishing off a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm elder of the opposite side!


    With this, the White Night Sacred Palace''s Deity Realm powerhouses felt greatly roused in spirits, marching straight in all the way, hunting down frenziedly.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan followed the group of people unhurriedly.


    All the way until they killed to the borders of the two great sacred palaces did Ye Yuan call out in a clear voice, "Alright, stop here!"


    Only then did the White Night Sacred Palace''s group of powerhouses stop with a feeling of longing for more.


    "Master Ye Yuan, why not chase further? Isn''t it good for us to follow up a victory with pursuit and destroy the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace in one fell swoop, avenging Father?" Bai Chen said puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan smiled but did not speak.


    Mo Yun spoke up, "Palace Lord, Lord Ye Yuan''s meaning is, don''t pursue a desperate foe! Huo Tianyang is a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse in the end. For us to really push him into a dead end, the consequences are too ghastly to imagine."


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, discovering that Gui Yun had long disappeared already.


    Most likely, the expenditure of this battle to him was rather huge too.


    "I understand!" Bai Chen nodded his head and said seriously.


    This fight initially was in the midst of a hopeless situation, but it concluded with a flawless victory, exceeding everyone''s expectations.


    Currently, everyone was dancing for joy, like they were crazy!


    "Lord Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    "Lord Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    "Lord Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    ...


    They knew that this victory was entirely Ye Yuan reversing the hopeless situation alone!


    Without Ye Yuan, the current White Night Sacred Palace would probably already be utterly destroyed.


    "Lord Ye Yuan is truly a god-like figure, to actually be able to slay a Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse with Grotto Profound Realm!"


    "This is an earth-shaking battle achievement, completely subverting our understanding!"


    "That last sword move was simply a marvelous work of art! I, this Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm martial artist, actually completely could not see through it at all!"


    Everyone chimed in one after another, feeling deeply incredulous at Ye Yuan''s miraculous battle achievement.


    The complete version Sundering Stars was a sword move that condensed Sword Dao laws to the extreme.


    Not that it did not have any trace of divine essence undulation, but all of Ye Yuan''s divine essence was compressed into an extremely small range.


    Condensed but not scattered!


    This move seemed ordinary. Actually, it was a move that applied Sword Dao laws to the limits.


    The burden of this move on Ye Yuan was huge too.


    With his thick divine essence, he could pretty much only release one sword move.


    Once this sword move failed, he would not have the strength to fight again.


    ...


    The great battle ceasing, the White Night Sacred Palace was in jubilation.


    Through this battle, Bai Chen established an exceedingly high prestige among the group of elders.


    Although his strength was still very weak and he also had many lacking aspects when doing things, in terms of sentiments, everybody already accepted this new palace lord.


    Moreover, behind Bai Chen even had Ye Yuan, this grand elder assisting.


    Bai Chen finally gained a firm foothold in the White Night Sacred Palace.


    Originally, Bai Xiu and the rest were planning on hosting a grand ascension ceremony, but it was refused by Bai Chen.


    After coming back from the battlefield, Bai Chen trained in the spear art bitterly every day.


    This war also let Bai Chen mature. He knew that if he could not become strong, all of the authority and all of the wealth and glory were all a fleeting illusion.


    Could see, could not touch!


    He did not know how long Ye Yuan would stay here still. He could only train himself to become stronger as soon as possible.


    Huo ��


    Huo ��


    Huo ��


    Bai Chen stabbed straight one spear after another, bringing along a piercing wind sound.


    His spear art seemed to be no different from mortal martial artists. In reality, each spear carried the undulations of the power of laws.


    This spear art was very powerful and consumed a lot of divine essence.


    Very soon, dense sweat beads seeped out on Bai Chen''s forehead.


    Huo ��


    Another spear stabbed out. There was suddenly a blur before his eyes. An additional figure actually appeared.


    Bai Chen was greatly astonished, hurriedly wanting to pull back the spear.


    But this spear had an imposing momentum. He was not prepared at all. How could there be time to pull back if he wanted to?


    But in the next instant, Bai Chen opened his eyes wide. His heavy spear was actually unable to advance further.


    "M-Master Ye Yuan!" Bai Chen exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan just extended two fingers and easily caught his spear.


    Bai Chen''s heavy spear was actually unable to advance further!


    "Such a soft and feeble spear, how can it kill people?" Ye Yuan shook his head and said.


    Bai Chen could not help choking when he heard that and said unyieldingly, "I �� I pulled back the spear momentum just now, that''s why it would be caught by Master so easily"


    He had just broken through, but Ye Yuan poured cold water on his head. How could Bai Chen not be depressed?


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s strength was formidable, but he was also very confident in his own spear art.


    To say that it was soft and feeble, he was unwilling to submit.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so? Use your strongest move and try stabbing over. I''m standing right here."


    A hint of slyness flashed across in Bai Chen''s gaze and he said with a smile, "Master, that''s what you said!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I said it!"


    Bai Chen pulled back the spear and stood there, the spear momentum on his body started gradually condensing.


    "Be careful, Master!"


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s strength was exceedingly powerful. Even if he used his full strength, it was also not possible to shake Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    What he wanted to do was force Ye Yuan to defend!


    He wanted to prove that his spear was not a soft and feeble spear.


    After several breaths, Bai Chen''s spear momentum rose to the peak.


    "HAH!"


    Bai Chen suddenly stabbed a spear out. The powerful force made Ye Yuan''s clothes flutter wildly.


    This spear was extremely fast, arriving in front of Ye Yuan instantly.


    But in the next instant, Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent, revealing a look of disbelief.


    Ye Yuan extended two fingers once more, clamping onto the spear tip in front of his face.


    No matter how he exerted strength, he was also unable to pierce through in the slightest!

 1424 Divine Ruins

    Ye Yuan''s finger shook. The hand that Bai Chen was grabbing the long spear with had been directly shaken off.


    It was only to see the long spear turned lightly, twirling around. It was grasped by Ye Yuan''s hands.


    "Although I haven''t extensively studied the Spear Dao before, the Great Dao is multifarious, all roads leading to the same goal. I''ll deploy one spear move. You watch closely!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice had yet to fade when the aura on his body suddenly changed, suddenly stabbing a spear out.


    Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent, staring fixedly at the heavy spear in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    This spear was the exact same angle and strength of the spear he did just now. It was practically the reproduction of that spear earlier.


    But the power of this spear was more than a hundred times stronger than his!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s spear momentum abruptly ceased. The entire space produced an intense tremor.


    The area where the spear tip stopped, the space actually produced fine cracks, then returned to normal very quickly.


    Bai Chen''s expression was incomparably ugly as he said in disbelief, "How �� How can it be like this?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The way of the heavens, diminishes the excess and compensates for the shortage. The spear art''s heavy momentum, you must pay attention to that indomitable imposing momentum. However, it was easily broken just now. Your spear art has excessive toughness and inadequate gentleness. Although the might of a spear is fierce, once blocked by the enemy, you won''t have the strength to battle anymore. When you comprehend a trace of gentle force from the toughness and understand the logic of restrain, your imposing momentum shall continue unbroken, akin to a series of waves, advancing forth irresistibly!"


    Bai Chen was still perplexed as he said, "But �� wouldn''t mixing gentle force in the spear art lose a portion of strength?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You''re still staying at the realm of seeing the mountain as the mountain. In order to have the strength to continue fighting, forcefully pulling back a portion of the force, this is the true way! I''ll display it once more, you see if I held back power or not!"


    Bai Chen''s expression turned intent, retreating to one side, his eyes glued on Ye Yuan.


    Still the same identical spear, Ye Yuan made a move again. That indomitable imposing momentum did not hold back in the slightest!


    Bai Chen stared fixedly at the spear top, his body suddenly shuddered.


    That spear move just now, Ye Yuan did not point out anything, leaving many details unspoken.


    But this time, he saw it clearly!


    Master clearly did not pull back the spear, but at the final juncture, the heavy spear''s speed seemed to slow down!


    It was as if �� it was traversing space and time.


    This feeling was indescribably bizarre.


    Boom!


    The space produced fine cracks once more.


    What a terrifying spear!


    Bai Chen was certain that even if Master''s realm was the same as his, using this spear, he could easily kill middle-stage Grotto Profound martial artists too!


    "Understood it?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Bai Chen shook his head and said, "I �� I can''t do it!"


    Ye Yuan was tickled the moment he heard it and said with a laugh, "If you can do it, what can I teach you? Carrying gentleness in toughness, carrying toughness in gentleness. A combination of toughness and gentleness, that''s the strongest attack! You need to remember that spear move just now in your head and practice hard. There will come a day where you''ll be able to understand."


    Bai Chen nodded his head solemnly and said, "Master, I got it! Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly. He knew that Bai Chen really understood.


    There was no shortcut to cultivation. Only by paying even more sweat than others could only gain even more.


    But Ye Yuan pointed a direction for Bai Chen. It was like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, able to let Bai Chen take fewer detours.


    Ye Yuan''s words sounded simple. But performing it required many, many years of bitter cultivation.


    Bai Chen understood that his road was still very long.


    However, Bai Chen''s talent was indeed very decent. It was no wonder that Bai Yehai chose him to be the young lord.


    Given time, it was merely a matter of time for him to surpass those older brothers of his


    "M-Master, are you looking for me for something?"


    The two people came to a small pavilion by the side to rest. Bai Chen suddenly opened his mouth and asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "My identity, I believe you already know, right?"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he pretended to be puzzled as he said, "Your identity? Aren''t you my master? White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You still want to play these little games in front of me? Those medicinal pills, if you don''t recognize those pills, could it be that Mo Yun can''t recognize them either?"


    Bai Chen''s expression instantly became incomparably embarrassed. He did not expect that Ye Yuan had everything under control.


    "Master, I ��"


    Ye Yuan stopped Bai Chen from carrying on with a hand gesture. Suddenly, his expression turned stern and he said in a cold voice, "My objective of coming to the Sky Foothill World is very simple. It''s for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone! For this, I''ll do whatever it takes!"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed. That powerful aura of Ye Yuan''s crushed him until he virtually could not breathe.


    "Master, the White Night Sacred Palace doesn''t have Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones!" Bai Chen said flusteredly.


    Ye Yuan withdrew his aura and asked, "Could it be that Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are all controlled in the hands of the Sky Foothill Divine Palace?"


    Bai Chen nodded his head slightly and said, "The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone is immensely helpful toward the breakthrough of Deity Realm powerhouses. Even Origin Deity Realm powerhouses can''t do without it either! Therefore, the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are basically all controlled in the hands of the Sky Foothill Divine Palace. The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones that flows out of the Sky Foothill Divine Palace are extremely, extremely few. It''s basically very hard to see in the outside world."


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan immediately felt his head swell.


    Each day that he delayed, Mu Lingxue''s spiritual consciousness would flow away a bit!


    Originally thought that the White Night Sacred Palace, this kind of powerful faction, would have one or two pieces of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones. But did not expect that this thing was actually rare to this sort of degree.


    Bai Chen was very perplexed when he saw Ye Yuan''s sorrowful look and said cautiously, "M-Master �� a-according to what I know, don''t you all just need Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, Purple Sand Gold, one of the three kinds will do?"


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "I''m not finding the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone in order to complete the mission, but it is for another purpose. It has a life-saving usage for me, so I have to obtain it at all costs!"


    Bai Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting that it would actually be like this.


    No wonder when Ye Yuan obtained the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, he just sized it up slightly, then kept it.


    It seemed like this master of his was also a person with a story!


    "Not only did Master Ye Yuan save my life, he even gave me a new life! His kindness to me, I can''t repay finish even if I die ten times! The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone must be very important to him. No matter what, I must help him obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone!"


    Without going through much mental struggle, Bai Chen made up his mind.


    "Master, actually, if you want to obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, there''s an opportunity. It''s just that �� still have to wait for 10 years!" Bai Chen said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said, "You say!"


    Bai Chen said, "After 10 years, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace will open up the Divine Ruins! The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone is produced there! It''s just that ��"


    Talking until here, Bai Chen hesitated for a moment. Ye Yuan immediately understood and said with a smile, "It''s just that that place is very dangerous, yes?"


    Bai Chen nodded and said, "That''s right! Inside the Divine Ruins is full of opportunities, but it is also full of dangers! Furthermore, when the time comes, the Sky Foothill World''s seven great sacred palaces will all enter inside. It will be very perilous."


    Ye Yuan said without any care, "I''ve said it before, at all costs!"

 1425 Death Cultivation Space!

    "Cough, cough, cough ��"


    "Puhwark!"


    Inside a hidden underground palace hall in the Sky Foothill World, Qin Tian coughed violently, and following that, vomited a large mouthful of blood.


    "Really damn it! I didn''t expect to get implicated by accident, being severely injured by that damn Life End Palace Lord. With this, no idea how long I''ll be delayed!" Qin Tian said with a gloomy face.


    After Qin Tian infiltrated into the Sky Foothill World, he did not dare to move about in the outside world in such a flagrant manner like Ye Yuan.


    Once discovered by people that he was an outsider, he would face the entire Sky Foothill World''s pursuit.


    Especially that mysterious Sky Foothill Divine Palace. Just how powerful was its strength, nobody knew either.


    He had laid low for a long time and finally found an opportunity, running into a lone sacred palace elder.


    With Qin Tian''s strength, as long as he did not encounter the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s Origin Deity powerhouses, he could basically roam as he pleased in the entire continent.


    Hence, he finished off that elder with momentum like a thunderclap, searched his soul, and knew about this elder''s everything.


    Done with all these, Qin Tian disguised as this elder, covered his face, planning on infiltrating into the sacred palace and borrowing the sacred palace''s strength to investigate Ye Yuan''s whereabouts.


    He did not expect that on the way, he encountered the assassination of an assassin with extremely fearsome strength!


    With this, Qin Tian met with eight lifetimes of rotten luck.


    Although that killer''s realm was inferior to Qin Tian''s, his concealed assassination abilities were first-rate.


    Under the ambush, he seriously wounded Qin Tian.


    However, Qin Tian was Wu Meng Capital City''s peerless genius in the end. By relying on his powerful strength, he slew this assassin.


    Only upon searching the remnant soul of this killer did Qin Tian learn that this guy''s assassination target was precisely that elder. He actually blocked the spear for that old thing!


    The killer''s strength was not weak, causing massive wounds to Qin Tian. It was hard to recover in a short while.


    However, he learned from that killer''s remnant soul that this killer was the palace lord of an assassin organization called Life End Sacred Palace!


    The strength of the opponent this trip was too powerful, and that was why he would personally take action.


    With this, Qin Tian was even more depressed until he went crazy.


    What was called passing away before getting the final victory was probably this sort of situation, right?


    Qin Tian''s mind stirred. Might as well disguise as this Life End Palace Lord and hide in the Life End Sacred Palace. This way, it was safer.


    Suddenly, someone outside the hidden room requested an audience. Qin Tian forcefully suppressed the injuries on his body and pretended to be profound.


    "Reporting to Palace Lord, the thing that you wanted to inquire about, this subordinate has already inquired clearly! Recently, there was indeed an expert called Ye Yuan who rose to fame, even slaying a Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse with Grotto Profound Deity Realm cultivation, already becoming a legend in the entire Sky Foothill World ��" said the subordinate outside the door carefully.


    This palace lord did not have a good temper and would kill people at a drop of a hat.


    Inside the hidden chamber became silent, with no activities for quite a while.


    That subordinate did not know that the ''palace lord'' currently had monstrous waves stirred up in his heart!


    Grotto Profound Realm slaying Heaven Glimpse powerhouse, this was also something that virtually no one could accomplish in the Heavenspan World.


    Ye Yuan actually did it!


    Although the strength of Sky Foothill World''s Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists could not match up to the Heavenspan World''s on the whole, Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm was Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. It was absolutely not what Grotto Profound Realm martial artists could compare to.


    This guy''s rise already cannot be stopped! If I don''t kill him here, probably after he ventures out, I won''t have the chance to kill him anymore! Qin Tian secretly thought.


    Qin Tian imitated the Life End Palace Lord''s voice and said in a cold voice, "Go and spread an intel, say that this Ye Yuan is an invader! This matter must be settled, and let all of the sacred palaces know. Lastly, it even has to spread to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace, understood?"


    That subordinate''s expression turned fearful and he hurriedly voiced his assent, " Yes, Palace Lord! This subordinate understands!"


    "Puhwark!"


    The moment that subordinate left, Qin Tian could not resist vomiting a large mouthful of blood again.


    "This Life End Palace Lord''s concealment killing arts are truly profound. I had my heart meridians wounded by him. Without a few year''s time, I probably can''t recover."


    Qin Tian swallowed a medicinal pill, slightly alleviating the injuries.


    "This guy used no idea what kind of method, to actually be able to hide from the Sky Foothill World''s powerhouses'' eyes and ears! But, you probably never dreamed that I, Qin Tian, would infiltrate into the Sky Foothill World, right? When the Sky Foothill Divine Palace finds you, I see how you still continue to be arrogant! H-Haha �� cough, cough, cough."


    ...


    Ye Yuan indeed did not know that Qin Tian actually followed his footsteps and came to the Sky Foothill World.


    In Wu Meng Academy, the missions that students accept were strictly confidential!


    Firstly, it was in order to protect the student''s safety.


    Secondly, it was in order to protect the small world''s coordinates from leaking out.


    Unless there was the Wu Meng City Lord or Academy Head''s tacit consent!


    For Qin Tian to be able to get the coordinates already indicated many problems in the first place.


    Learning that the Divine Ruins were opening 10 years later, Ye Yuan entered closed-seclusion.


    Before departing, Ye Yuan used points and low-grade divine stones, respectively exchanging for a large batch of Tier 1 spirit medicines.


    These Tier 1 spirit medicines, he had refined all into medicinal pills to use for cultivation.


    Now, each minor realm that Ye Yuan raised had to expend massive resources. It was more than ten times that of other people.


    Fortunately, he was an alchemist himself. Otherwise, he could forget about breaking through.


    In a blink, Ye Yuan cultivated for as long as 10 years inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space. His realm finally reached the peak state of grand completion Grotto Profound.


    "Senior, I seem to have already touched the threshold of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. But this Chaos Heavenspan Canon, I keep on being unable to create the second level!" Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.


    With Ye Yuan''s comprehension of Heavenly Dao as well as comprehension in the power of laws, breaking through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm was just an inevitable thing.


    He had just reached peak grand completion Grotto Profound and already had a feeling in his heart. This was already much stronger than the vast majority of martial artists.


    It was just that the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, this cultivation method, was too heaven-defying. Wanting to go a step further was truly as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    If not for so, Dustless also would not object to Ye Yuan creating a cultivation method back then.


    Dustless sighed and said, "Grotto Profound, discerning heaven''s secrets, it''s just having a feeling in your heart. Heaven Glimpse, looking at a leopard through a tube, seeing only one spot, glimpsing a corner of Heavenly Dao. The cultivation methods that others cultivate are shallow. The corner of heaven that they glimpse is naturally much smaller. While you, the Heavenly Dao that you have to pry into is too many and too large. This step is more than a hundred times harder than others!"


    Ye Yuan said, "The battle with that Heaven Glimpse powerhouse the last time, I had a feeling in my heart. It''s just that this trace of opportunity, no idea when it will come again."


    The last time Ye Yuan comprehended the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, he opened up a gap with Alchemy Dao as the opportunity.


    But this time, he could not.


    Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao still only remained at the standard of One-star Alchemy God and was totally unable to open the second level''s gap.


    Dustless fell silent for a moment and suddenly opened his mouth to say, "You''re in dire need to increase strength currently. Since that''s the case, why not activate the World Suppressing Stele''s Death Cultivation Space then?"


    Ye Yuan froze and said, "Death Cultivation Space?"


    Dustless nodded and said, "This is actually the Martial Dao inheritance that Immortal Grave planned on leaving to his disciples. It''s just that this cultivation space is too dangerous, so I never told you all along. Death Cultivation Space, one will really die!"

 1426 Divine Envoy Azurepeak

    Passing through a water screen, Ye Yuan felt his divine soul quiver a bit.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. But this feeling of discomfort vanished very quickly.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan discovered that there was a blurry shadow ahead, gradually becoming clearer.


    Then, that silhouette walked over towards him like two sides of a mirror.


    This figure was exactly the same as Ye Yuan!


    This Death Cultivation Space did not have any special aspects.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s opponent was himself!


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s means were exceedingly formidable. This Death Cultivation Space was very magical and could perfectly replicate Ye Yuan''s strength, creating a clone that was indistinguishable from the real or illusion.


    And what Ye Yuan had to do was not to kill the other party, but break through his own limits under the other party''s hellish training!


    "Ye Yuan, think properly! Once this Death Cultivation Space activates, either you die, or he perishes! Even I''m unable to make it stop either!" Dustless''s voice sounded out by Ye Yuan''s ear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is already the tenth time that you said it to me! Let''s go!"


    Dustless scolded laughingly and said, "You, brat, are really a monomaniac!"


    Finished talking, Dustless''s voice was no longer heard.


    Then, an icy-cold voice sounded out in the space.


    "Death cultivation, activates now!"


    The Ye Yuan opposite released an evil smile, making Ye Yuan''s heart turn slightly cold.


    "You''re very strong! To actually give me such a powerful body!" said the other Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. He did not expect that this guy opposite actually had his own consciousness!


    The other Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, you''re very surprised, right? I''m not a machine that only knows slaughter. I have an independent personality. I will think �� about how to kill you!"


    After the shock, Ye Yuan''s state of mind also calmed down and he said with a smile, "Couldn''t ask for me! Bring it!"


    The other Ye Yuan smiled sinisterly, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand to execute Sundering Stars. Two terrifying attacks collided together, shocking Ye Yuan''s figure back repeatedly.


    Sundering Stars!


    What the other Ye Yuan used was also Sundering Stars!


    Furthermore, the other party''s strength, as well as the application of Sundering Stars, was not the slightest bit inferior to his!


    Even the sword in the other party''s hands also perfectly replicated the Evil Extermination Sword.


    No wonder it was called Death Cultivation Space. Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of secret to speak of in front of the other party.


    Such an opponent was too terrifying.


    "Heh, the power of this Sundering Stars is still pretty good, right? Relax, there are even more surprises waiting for you!" said the other Ye Yuan with an evil smile.


    "Didn''t think that the other me is actually talkative!" Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    "Huhu, that''s just you not understanding yourself. I''m �� actually just another you."


    "Alright, alright, you win! Can you give me more surprises?" Ye Yuan said.


    "As you wish!"


    Whoosh!


    Another ray of sword light!


    The two figures moved, clashing together violently.


    The two people''s battle did not have the slightest skill to speak of.


    They both understood the other party too well!


    Any tricks had no place to show its prowess.


    The more Ye Yuan fought, the more alarmed he got. Not only did the other party perfectly replicate himself in strength, it even perfectly copied in terms of fighting will and combat talent too!


    The other party''s keen insight made all of his schemes fall through in the end.


    This was a truly powerful opponent!


    In front of the other party, Ye Yuan did not have a shred of advantage to speak of.


    Two surges of terrifying power bombarded everywhere in this space, shocking the entire space until it trembled endlessly.


    "Sigh �� This kid is bound to encounter many formidable enemies on his rise up. But probably any formidable adversary can''t compare to as strong as this time! Immortal Grove that old geezer is really a genius, to actually be able to come up with this kind of perverted method to hone people. However, if Ye Yuan is really able to defeat himself, it''s absolutely a great benefit to him!" Dustless said with an emotional sigh.


    ...


    Just as Ye Yuan entered death cultivation, the entire Sky Foothill World was lit on fire by a rumor.


    "What? The White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder is actually an outsider world''s intruder!"


    "Like I said, when did the Sky Foothill World produce such an impressive genius, Grotto Profound Realm actually capable of slaying Heaven Glimpse Realm!"


    "White Night Sacred Palace actually let an intruder become the grand elder! This is simply a massive joke!"


    ...


    Under the Life End Sacred Palace''s deliberate spreading, this rumor spread throughout the various major sacred palaces like the wind.


    Currently, Bai Chen and Mo Yun duo were like ants on a hot pan, pacing about anxiously.


    Yet, Ye Yuan was in closed-seclusion at this time too. This made the two of them lose the main pillar.


    However, Mo Yun was much more experienced in the end. Seeing Bai Chen''s utterly stupefied appearance, he opened his mouth and said, "Palace Lord, the more it''s like this, the calmer we have to be! Your appearance, it will be seen through the moment others see it!"


    After Mo Yun consumed the medicinal pill that Ye Yuan gave, he already successfully broke through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    Currently, he already became White Night Sacred Palace''s ninth elder rightfully.


    Bai Chen sighed and said, "Of course I know. It''s also only in front of Teacher Mo Yun that I''ll be like this."


    Mo Yun nodded his head. He knew that Bai Chen was indeed much more mature now.


    "This matter is a huge deal. Even in front of me, Palace Lord mustn''t be like this too," Mo Yun said.


    Bai Chen nodded his head and said with a resentful look, "This matter, only you and I know. Just who leaked it out? Unless, apart from you and me, there is still someone else who knows about Master Ye Yuan''s true identity?"


    Mo Yun frowned and said, "That''s hard to say! But, to be able to spread this rumor to such a degree, the other party''s force probably can''t be underestimated!"


    Bai Chen said gloomily, "Sigh! I''m not worried about the rumor, what I''m worried about is �� the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s attitude! The Sky Foothill Divine Palace monitors the world. This matter is probably hard to escape their eyes and ears!"


    Right at this time, the voice of a guard came from outside, appearing rather flustered.


    "Palace Lord, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine envoy has arrived. The deputy palace lord requests Palace Lord and Elder Mo Yun to go and welcome the envoy together!"


    The two people''s expressions changed. It was really whatever one feared, whatever came.


    They did not expect that the Sky Foothill Divine Palace was so sensitive toward intruders, actually arriving so quickly!


    Mo Yun drew a deep breath and said to Bai Chen, "No matter what, we mustn''t reveal any flaws! We can take it as we don''t know, but we mustn''t let the divine envoy see through any further. Otherwise, the White Night Sacred Palace will be eternally doomed!"


    Bai Chen''s expression turned stern and he nodded his head solemnly.


    Outside the White Night Sacred Palace, an azure-robed middle-aged man stood in the air.


    The middle-aged man''s expression was frosty, his bearing extraordinary. One look, and it was an expert.


    Bai Chen swarmed out with Bai Xiu and the others, a large group of Deity Realm powerhouses, and bowed down toward that middle-aged man.


    "White Night Sacred Palace''s palace lord, Bai Chen, leads everyone to respectfully receive Lord Divine Envoy!"


    The middle-aged man lightly gave an ''mmm,'' and slowly said, "This envoy is Azurepeak. Under the orders of the divine palace, I specially came to investigate White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder, Ye Yuan. Now �� let him come and see me!"

 1427 Might of The Clone

    "Huu �� Huu �� Huu ��"


    Ye Yuan''s breathing became heavier and heavier. The face-off with his other self also became more and more ability falling short of one''s desire.


    These two people already had a great battle in the Death Cultivation Space for three days and nights. Even if Ye Yuan''s divine essence consumption was extremely small, he also could not quite sustain anymore at this time.


    After all, his opponent was not someone else, but himself!


    This opponent was too strong. In these three days, Ye Yuan virtually used all of his means once, but just could not do anything to the other party.


    "Haha, why are you getting weaker and weaker? Seeing my other self so weak, it really feels shameful! So �� you go to hell!"


    The other Ye Yuan had a mocking smile, the strength in his hands becoming greater and greater.


    The two people were evenly matched from the beginning. Until now, Ye Yuan could only be wary of warding off blows already.


    The other Ye Yuan''s moves did not deviate from Ye Yuan''s vital areas, making Ye Yuan face constant danger.


    "Heh heh, in this Death Cultivation Space, my divine essence is limitless. But your divine essence will become lesser and lesser along with the consumption of battle. Your final outcome can only be death!" said the other Ye Yuan with a loud laugh.


    This cloned Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of compassion for the original body.


    The mission that this space gave to him was to kill the original body!


    In this space, the clone body''s divine essence would continually be restored.


    While Ye Yuan himself, although Ye Yuan drew the surrounding spiritual energy when fighting, the recovery speed clearly could not match up to the clone''s.


    Hence, as time went on, Ye Yuan would be in greater danger!


    Outside the space, Dustless paid close attention to Ye Yuan with a nervous look, clenching both fists together nervously.


    He knew that Ye Yuan already arrived at an extremely dangerous juncture.


    If Ye Yuan still could not find the method to defeat himself, he was bound to die inside.


    Once death cultivation activated, even he was unable to stop it too.


    Dustless knew that Ye Yuan encountered his greatest challenge since birth.


    Because his opponent was not someone else, but himself.


    This Death Cultivation Space''s terrifying aspect lied here.


    Regardless of how powerful your strength was, if you did not have the determination to overcome yourself, you would never be able to walk out of here.


    "Come on, Ye Yuan! Don''t disappoint this old man!"


    The expression on Dustless''s face was almost twitching, displaying the tension in his heart currently.


    The reason why he suggested such a dangerous cultivation method was because he knew how difficult it was for Ye Yuan to create the second level Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    If Ye Yuan was unable to surpass himself, he might never find this hint of opportunity as well.


    Even if he found it, it would also be no idea how many years later.


    At that time, Mu Lingxue would have long been dead.


    The current Ye Yuan needed powerful strength.


    He needed to seize the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone for Mu Lingxue!


    Although this method was perilous, it was the most effective method to squeeze out potential.


    When people faced their true self, then get pressed to the limits, they would try everything to surpass themselves, seeking a lease of life from there.


    Except, people able to do it were extremely, extremely few!


    Actually, this Death Cultivation Space was an incomplete product of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove had once captured quite a number of people before to go in and experiment, in order to perfect this Death Cultivation Space.


    He hoped to find a method that could squeeze out potential and also reduce the mortality rate.


    Among them had Origin Deity Realm martial artists, Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, even �� Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses!


    Adding them up, there were probably hundreds.


    It was just that the final result, not a single person came out of the death cultivation!


    Those able to cultivate to the Celestial Deity Realm could be said to be one-in-ten-thousand geniuses.


    But such geniuses were unable to overcome themselves too.


    The danger of this cultivation method could be imagined!


    When Dustless proposed this method, he was actually very conflicted in his heart too.


    It was just that spending a long time with Ye Yuan, Dustless more or less received a bit of Ye Yuan''s influence.


    On one hand, Ye Yuan''s talent was absolutely very terrifying.


    On the other hand, Ye Yuan''s spirit of betting it all on one throw also unknowingly affected him.


    Swish!


    A sword edge tore apart Ye Yuan''s clothes, slicing his muscles.


    Dustless'' expression changed. Ye Yuan was starting to get injured!


    This was not a good sign. It showed that Ye Yuan''s divine essence reserves were already inadequate to support this battle.


    However, this battle had to carry on.


    Swish!


    Swish!


    Swish!


    ...


    Wound after wound was torn open on Ye Yuan''s body!


    "Hahaha, you''re too weak! Weaklings shouldn''t exist in this world! Give up!"


    The clone''s sword hacking on the original self''s body seemed to have a bloodthirsty delight.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence became more and more drained. His physical abilities were almost reaching the limits too.


    Fighting with himself, the load on the body was too great!


    The current Ye Yuan felt like he almost could not raise his sword anymore.


    "So tired �� Could it be that �� this is the end?" Inside Ye Yuan''s mind, this voice kept on echoing.


    ...


    "Immediately go and call Ye Yuan, no matter what he''s doing right now! After two hours, if I don''t see the person, you all �� will bear the consequences yourself!"


    In the White Night Sacred Palace''s great hall, Azurepeak sat on the palace lord''s position, his face sullen.


    This White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder had such haughty airs. He, this divine envoy, descended, and he was actually in closed-seclusion!


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he said, "Lord Divine Envoy, Grand Elder he just went into a retreat not long. At this time, he''s probably at a critical juncture in cultivation. Telling him to exit seclusion at this time probably isn''t appropriate, right? Why not �� Lord Divine Envoy, stay in the White Night Sacred Palace for some time first. When Grand Elder leaves seclusion, Bai Chen will definitely notify Your Excellency right away, alright?"


    Bang!


    Bai Chen''s voice had yet to fade when Azurepeak gave a palm with a wave of a hand, directly striking him flying.


    "Puhwark!"


    This Azurepeak was a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm. How could Bai Chen''s bit of strength be enough to look at?


    If not because he was the White Night Sacred Palace''s palace lord, this palm would probably directly take his life.


    This Lord Divine Envoy was so arrogant!


    "The divine palace''s orders, do you think that it''s a joke? This divine envoy says two hours, means it''s two hours! Could it be that �� whatever grand elder really is as the rumors say, an intruder? Mn?"


    Azurepeak stared with his eyes wide. Everyone''s hearts turned cold.


    The moment this unwarranted charge was put on, once ascertained, it would be an apocalyptic catastrophe!


    Bai Chen struggled to crawl up, glaring at Azurepeak.


    He was just about to flare up but was forcefully pressed down by Mo Yun.


    But Bai Xiu came forward at this time and said to Azurepeak with clasped hands, "Lord Divine Envoy, this hearsay is absolutely a rumor! Most likely, it was intentionally cooked up by the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of guys. Lord Divine Envoy, please investigate! Grand Elder Ye Yuan had once taken action many times. His strength wasn''t rejected by Heavenly Dao in the slightest. It''s absolutely impossible to be an intruder!"


    Azurepeak gave him a glance coldly and said, "This divine envoy is on orders from high up this time, and brought the Tianlu Shrine over. Whether or not he''s an intruder, one test and it will be known! Now, don''t make this divine envoy repeat it again. After two hours, this divine envoy wants to see him!"

 1428 Entering Selfless Realm Again!

    Pfft!


    The clone''s sword plunged deeply into Ye Yuan''s body.


    Laws entering the body, Ye Yuan''s body seemed to be lacerated.


    The heart-piercing pain finally made Ye Yuan regain some consciousness.


    "Pain, right? Give up struggling! A weakling like you isn''t fit to live in this world!"


    As the other Ye Yuan was talking, he agitated the sword in his hand, churning Ye Yuan''s wound bigger and bigger.


    Golden blood spouted out wildly like a fountain, even being mixed in with some minced meat.


    The swift and fierce Sword Dao laws penetrated the wound and wreaked havoc in Ye Yuan''s internal organs.


    Ye Yuan''s consciousness was getting more and more blurry, his eyes becoming more and more lax.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    Seeing this scene, Dustless''s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of despair.


    Along the way, the hope that Ye Yuan gave him was too great.


    In fact, he never even thought that Ye Yuan would fail.


    But this time, Ye Yuan really did not have such good luck anymore.


    That rapidly flowing away vitality was currently showing that Ye Yuan was currently walking towards death.


    Under this kind of situation, Ye Yuan already completely did not have the possibility of retaliating.


    "Sure enough �� Sure enough, it still can''t work?"


    Dustless''s words actually appeared rather choked up with sobs.


    These close to 100 years, he and Ye Yuan already fostered extremely deep affection.


    If one took the length of time into account, his time together with Ye Yuan was even longer than Long Teng''s.


    One could say that he watched Ye Yuan grow up step by step.


    But now, Ye Yuan was going to die.


    "So tired �� Really want to sleep just like this �� Yeah, give up just like this then."


    A burst of intense weariness welled up, making Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes.


    Walking all the way was really tiring!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s aura get weaker and weaker, a hint of a delighted hideous grin flashed across the corners of the clone''s mouth, as if this scene made him incomparably refreshed.


    "But if I sleep, what will happen to Lingxue? Li-er, she �� is waiting for me too! Also, Lu-er, White Light, Father, Mother �� so many, so many concerns! I �� I can''t die!"


    The clone Ye Yuan who saw fresh blood pouring in torrents seemed to have become even more bloodthirsty.


    "Hahaha �� Go and die!"


    The clone shouted fiercely and was about to move his sword to cut open Ye Yuan''s body.


    But right at this time, a hand suddenly grabbed the sword body, and slowly pulled the sword out of the body.


    This action made the clone and Dustless outside the space tremble all over, gazes revealing frightened looks.


    The clone''s gaze turned intent, pouring divine essence crazily into the sword body, wanting to chop off Ye Yuan''s palm.


    But Ye Yuan''s palm was like an iron tong. He actually could not cut it!


    The current Ye Yuan still had both eyes shut like he was sleeping.


    But the power in his hands was unusually great.


    Pfft!


    The clone''s sword was forcefully pulled out of the body by Ye Yuan.


    His gaze turned intent, revealing a horrified look.


    Ye Yuan''s body was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan had the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, but those Sword Dao laws of his earlier already ravaged Ye Yuan''s internal organs beyond description.


    Wanting to recover absolutely could not be done in a short while.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan was still in that state of sleep right now.


    "Selfless Realm!"


    "Selfless Realm!"


    The clone and Dustless practically shouted these two words at the same time.


    But the two people''s expressions were completely different.


    The clone''s shock could not be any greater, while Dustless was incredibly encouraged!


    Dustless completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually entered the Selfless Realm once more at the final juncture before death!


    "Humph! So what if you entered Selfless Realm? You''re still that Ye Yuan! I can kill you all the same!"


    The clone gave a cold snort. Lifting his hand, it was Sundering Stars!


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan''s sword tapped on the clone''s sword at a strange angle, directly sending him flying out.


    The clone''s gaze was full of disbelief as he said in horror, "His Sword Dao laws �� broke through just like this!"


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao laws were originally grand completion first-layered heaven realm. There was still a massive gulf away from initial-stage second-layered heaven.


    The power of laws breaking through from first-layered heaven to second-layered heaven was similarly a huge hurdle.


    People with poor comprehension might not be able to break through for life.


    Now, after Ye Yuan entered Selfless Realm, he directly broke through to initial-stage Sword Dao second-layered heaven!


    This casual tap earlier seemed simple. But in fact, it was already totally different from Sundering Stars.


    This was a brand new move. A move that the clone did not know!


    What the clone replicated was the original Ye Yuan, not the current Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan surpassing himself, it was equivalent to announcing that his doomsday was coming.


    The clone''s expression flickered incessantly, clearly unable to accept this fact.


    "I don''t believe that I can''t kill you! Sundering Stars!"


    This time, what the clone unleashed was the complete version Sundering Stars. The power of this move could cut down Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. Its power could be imagined.


    He previously fought with Ye Yuan, both sides knew the prowess of this move. So he would not give him the time to launch it at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan was asleep!


    Clank!


    The clone only felt a blur before his eyes and the Evil Extermination Sword tapped on his sword body once again, directly resolving his complete version Sundering Stars!


    "Kill, kill, kill!"


    The clone''s state was as if it was crazy, waving his sword and charging over towards Ye Yuan.


    But this time, no matter how he used martial techniques, he was unable to touch Ye Yuan in the slightest!


    Ye Yuan''s every action was nimble and precise to the point where it made people''s hair stand on end, making people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.


    The current Ye Yuan was like an ice-cold machine, precisely calculating everything around, controlling everything around.


    Swish!


    Swish!


    Swish!


    The clone could not touch Ye Yuan, but his body unknowingly had quite a number of wounds cut by Ye Yuan.


    "Ah, ahh, ahh! I won''t fail!"


    The clone actually had human emotions and was very afraid of failure.


    However, the current Ye Yuan was very cold, cold until he did not seem like a human.


    Pfft!


    Ye Yuan''s sword pierced right through the clone''s sea of consciousness!


    Clone body, dead!


    Death cultivation, ended!


    However, Ye Yuan did not break out of the state of Selfless Realm.


    His figure moved, arriving in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    A burst of faintly perceptible aura emitted off Ye Yuan''s body.


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain suddenly erupted with a powerful aura and actually produced a resonance with the aura emitting from Ye Yuan''s body.


    Dustless watched this scene fixedly from afar; inexplicably agitated.


    The current Ye Yuan was unmoving like a mountain, giving Dustless an unreal feeling.


    As if, Ye Yuan also incarnated into a Heavenspan Mountain!


    Under Selfless Realm, Ye Yuan inexplicably set up a trace of connection with Heavenly Dao and could be said to have incarnated to become a part of Heavenly Dao.


    Under this state, he could communicate with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain to the greatest extent.


    "Hahaha �� This kid indeed didn''t disappoint me! Indeed didn''t disappoint me!" Dustless said agitatedly.

 1429 Looking for Trouble

    In the great hall, Divine Envoy Azurepeak''s two eyes slowly opened.


    "Two hours is up. Looks like �� you guys aren''t planning on handing over the person! Very good! Since that''s the case, this divine envoy will go and invite him personally!"


    Azurepeak gave no chance to explain, slowly walking out of the great hall.


    The Sky Foothill Divine Palace had always been transcendent, not caring about the various major sacred palace''s fights, letting them develop unrestricted.


    No idea how long it had been since the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine envoy had descended upon the secular world already.


    Everyone did not expect that this divine envoy was actually so overbearing.


    Interrupting other people''s closed-seclusion cultivation was all martial artists'' taboo. It could virtually be mentioned in the same breath as killing one''s parents.


    Because a single mishap and it would ruin other people''s cultivation road!


    This sort of thing, to any martial artist, especially Deity Realm powerhouses, was unacceptable.


    Ye Yuan was undoubtedly a savior-like existence to the White Night Sacred Palace.


    No matter who it was, they were not willing to risk a grave mistake to go and interrupt Ye Yuan''s closed-seclusion.


    Even if this one in front of them was the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine envoy.


    "Mn?"


    Azurepeak''s brows furrowed, looking at the Bai Chen in front of him coldly.


    This kid actually dared to block his path.


    "Are you courting death? This divine envoy brought the Sky Foothill Divine Token down. If you stop this divine envoy from doing my mission, even if you''re the lord of a sacred palace, I''ll kill you all the same!"


    Azurepeak glared, a surge of powerful aura crushed over toward Bai Chen.


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, directly backing up a few steps before barely managing to stand firm. The injuries that he had just suppressed flared up again, a strand of fresh blood remaining at the corners of his mouth.


    But he was completely oblivious of this and said with Azurepeak with clasped hands, "Lord Divine Envoy, please calm your anger. Bai Chen doesn''t dare to contend with the divine palace. It''s just that Grand Elder is too important to our White Night Sacred Palace. Once he runs amok because his cultivation is interrupted, it can be said to be a catastrophic blow to our White Night Sacred Palace! Bai Chen begs Lord Divine Envoy to give us another three days'' time. We''ve already sent the communication talisman into Grand Elder''s closed-seclusion venue. Once he reaches a cultivation interval, he''ll definitely exit seclusion to welcome divine envoy!"


    Mo Yun was originally on tenterhooks at one side, planning on making a move at any time.


    But did not expect that Bai Chen actually said these words.


    It looked like their young lord finally grew up!


    "Get lost!"


    However, Azurepeak was not moved at all as he shouted to Bai Chen in a solemn voice.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, not expecting that this guy was actually so unreasonable.


    "If he''s in closed-seclusion for 100 years, does this divine envoy have to wait 100 years here? This divine envoy doesn''t have so much spare time! One more time, get lost! Otherwise, don''t blame me!" Azurepeak said coldly.


    The expressions of Bai Xiu and the rest changed several times and they spoke up to warn him, "Palace Lord, move aside!"


    Bai Chen''s face actually had a look of unwillingness but knew that this divine envoy could not be offended.


    The consequences of offending the divine envoy, the White Night Sacred Palace could not afford it.


    If he was just a loner without anyone, he would rather die than take a step back.


    But he was currently the White Night Palace Lord, representing the whole White Night Sacred Palace.


    "Yes ��"


    Bai Chen finally still opened up a path.


    "Humph!"


    Azurepeak gave a cold snort and walked right by Bai Chen''s side.


    Mo Yun heaved and went up to pat Bai Chen''s shoulders, saying: "Let''s go over and take a look too! Just hope that Lord Ye Yuan isn''t at the most critical juncture right now."


    Bai Chen nodded his head unwillingly and followed after helplessly.


    ...


    "This is Ye Yuan''s closed-seclusion place?"


    "Replying Lord Divine Envoy, precisely so! Your Excellency ��"


    Bai Xiu was just about to persuade some more but was directly interrupted by Azurepeak with a hand gesture.


    "The orders of the divine palace cannot be defied! If he''s really an intruder, nobody can shoulder the responsibility! As for whether or not is he currently at a critical juncture of cultivation, it will depend on his fortunes!"


    Azurepeak''s voice did not carry the least bit of emotion.


    Clearly, he, this divine envoy, had a lofty and aloof perspective.


    At this time, the aura on Azurepeak''s body skyrocketed, suddenly throwing a palm out, slamming right at the door.


    The hearts of Bai Chen and the rest all leaped to their throats, wishing to pounce to block this palm.


    But this palm was very powerful. Even the grand array set up outside the cultivation room was bound to not be able to withstand it too.


    Boom!


    This palm shattered the grand array without any surprises, slamming onto the cultivation chamber''s door.


    But right at this time, an incomparably sacred aura enveloped the entire courtyard, making everyone have an impulse to prostrate in worship.


    "Puhwark!"


    Azurepeak''s entire person was akin to suffering a heavy blow, directly spewing out a large mouthful of blood mist, his body flying out backward. He was actually knocked unconscious straight away.


    Everyone all stared at this scene with dumbfounded looks, completely unaware of what happened.


    A sacred light screen descended from the sky, enveloping the entire cultivation chamber inside.


    "This �� What on earth is going on here? The aura coming from the cultivation chamber is so terrifying. I �� I actually have an impulse to want to run away."


    "Could it be that �� Lord Ye Yuan is the legendary son of God? Lord Divine Envoy profaned the might of God just now?"


    "Just what is Lord Ye Yuan cultivating? This is too terrifying! Lord Divine Envoy is a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse. He was actually knocked right out!"


    ...


    Seeing the Azurepeak lying on the ground unconscious, no idea why, Bai Chen actually felt satisfied in his heart.


    "This guy really brought trouble to himself! Hahaha, Master Ye Yuan is Master Ye Yuan, forever can''t be estimated with common sense!" Bai Chen was secretly pleased.


    Before long, the light faded. Everything returned to normal.


    Creak ��


    The cultivation chamber''s door opened from inside. Ye Yuan slowly walked out.


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, the many Deity Realm powerhouses in the courtyard actually felt like Mount Tai crushing down on top all of a sudden.


    That sacred aura on Ye Yuan''s body was cut from the same cloth as that light screen earlier!


    Seeing so many people gathered in the courtyard, Ye Yuan said with a puzzled look, "What are you all doing here?"


    Bai Chen came before Ye Yuan and briefly recounted the events that happened recently. Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly when he heard it.


    This rumor was clearly intentionally spread by someone!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan thought of a lot.


    With Ye Yuan''s understanding of Bai Chen, he would not do so.


    Then, it was Mo Yun?


    Either that, or it was the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace who was unresigned to suffering a huge loss, deliberately fabricating this rumor and spreading it out.


    Except, this hearsay was not a rumor, but real.


    Of course, there was still another kind of possibility, that was that somebody else knew his identity and wanted to borrow the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s strength to finish him off!


    These three situations were all possible.


    Could it be that �� Wu Meng Academy also had someone enter the Sky Foothill World?


    Ye Yuan''s heart sunk. An inexplicable anger burned in his belly.


    It was not without this possibility!


    The Qin Family could even influence Wu Meng City Lord''s decision-making. Knowing that he was in the Sky Foothill World and getting this world''s coordinates did not seem to be something unthinkable!


    Ye Yuan gave Bai Chen a glance and said with a frown, "You''re injured?"


    He shot another glance at the Azurepeak lying on the ground and said, "It was done by that guy?"

 1430 Secret Tampering

    Seeing that Ye Yuan had signs of flying off the handle, Bai Chen hurriedly said, "Master mustn''t get angry. Lord Divine Envoy cannot be offended!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly and he said with a nod, "Fine, I got it! But ��"


    Bai Chen only felt a blur before his eyes and he lost sight of Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    Everyone only felt their chrysanthemum tighten[1]. Azurepeak''s body was directly kicked flying.


    When Azurepeak made a move earlier, it was precisely when Ye Yuan and the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain produced a resonance.


    With the might of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain leaking out, how could it allow a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm fellow''s impudence?


    With this, it just nicely knocked onto the spearhead. He was knocked unconscious by the recoil force.


    Right now, Azurepeak was in a deep coma. Ye Yuan was like kicking a rubber ball, one after another, not letting him land at all.


    Kicking over a dozen times in a row, Ye Yuan landed floatingly.


    Bang!


    Azurepeak''s robust body landed, crushing a stretch of green bricks.


    The group of martial artists all turned their faces over, unable to bear looking straight at it.


    But no idea why, including Bai Xiu, each and every one of them all felt very liberated.


    This Azurepeak relied on that he was a divine envoy. That was hy his nostrils were almost pointing to the sky.


    Furthermore, regardless of whether Bai Chen''s strength was strong or not, he was the White Night Sacred Palace''s palace lord.


    Azurepeak disciplined him like a grandson, that was disciplining the White Night Sacred palace as a grandson. How could they all, these people, feel like they had a face?


    Ye Yuan''s way of doing things, they did not dare. But they felt very relieved watching.


    "Mn, about there. Either way, he''s unconscious and won''t remember the things now either. Bring him down and remember to arrange a first-class wing-room. Don''t let people say that we slighted Lord Divine Envoy," Ye Yuan said faintly.


    Everyone exchanged glances and followed Ye Yuan to the great hall.


    After arriving at the great hall, everyone looked at Ye Yuan with eager eyes, wanting to speak, but finding it hard to speak up.


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling and said, "Say whatever you have. I''m not some ferocious beast either."


    All of them turned their gazes to Bai Chen. Bai Chen toughened his scalp and said with clasped hands, "Master Ye Yuan, actually, everyone is all worried about this rumor. We all want to ask whether Master, you are an intruder or not! After all, Master Ye Yuan, you were originally a reclusive powerhouse. Furthermore, your age is young, and you have such terrifying cultivation. This is completely out of tune with our Sky Foothill World''s powerhouses! But this time, Lord Divine Envoy brought the Tianlu Shrine over! Under the Tianlu Shrine, everything will be revealed!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s gazes were all glued on Ye Yuan, wanting to see what he had to say.


    In reality, everyone was stifled until they were about to explode.


    After all, it was a major life-and-death matter. Furthermore, the more it spread, the more vivid and dramatic. Everyone was naturally anxious and doubtful in their hearts.


    Bai Chen''s complexion appeared somewhat pale because of nervousness and injuries.


    He was asking questions on the surface but was actually warning Ye Yuan that it could not be hidden anymore.


    Take the chance when Lord Divine Envoy had not woken up yet and hurry up and leave the Sky Foothill World!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance, understanding tacitly, but said with a smile, "It''s useless to say anymore. Since Lord Divine Envoy brought the Tianlu Shrine over, then let him try. See whether or not he can reflect me, this intruder!"


    The moment everyone heard this, they immediately heaved a long sigh in relief.


    "With Grand Elder''s words, this large stone in our hearts finally landed!"


    "How can Grand Elder possibly be an intruder? When he was in a fierce battle with Lan Zhiru, they already fought to that extent and didn''t see Heavenly Dao produce any rejection towards him either."


    "You don''t say. These few days, it spread really vividly and dramatically. I was really somewhat scared!"


    "Isn''t that so! That''s primarily because Grand Elder is too young, too formidable; on a completely different level from us, these mediocre people!"


    "Hahaha!"


    ...


    After everyone dissipated, inside the secret chamber, Bai Chen and Mo Yun''s expressions were not too good.


    "Master Ye Yuan, you''d best go! I know that you said that in order to placate everyone. But the Tianlu Shrine is different. Because it''s created to specifically target you all, these trial-takers!" Bai Chen urged.


    Ye Yuan could not help becoming interested the moment he heard. Although this Sky Foothill World''s Dao of artifact refinement was not above the Heavenspan World''s, it had its uniqueness.


    "Just what is this Tianlu Shrine, talk about it," Ye Yuan asked.


    Bai Chen saw that Ye Yuan had an indifferent look and explained the origins of the Tianlu Shrine in detail.


    It turned out that the Sky Foothill World discovered that quite a number of trial-takers all had many concealment means. As long as they did not urge divine essence to the limit, it was very hard to arouse Heavenly Dao''s rejection.


    Even when facing Deity Realm powerhouses, they could cover up very well too.


    Hence, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace refined the Tianlu Shrine in order to make these people reveal everything.


    This Tianlu Shrine was said to be a celestial divine artifact refined by a peak Three-star Artifact God, containing a portion of Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao''s oppression.


    As long as one activated the Tianlu Shrine and intruders drew near within a certain range, it would automatically have a response and attack the other party!


    Even if your concealment means were heaven-defying and able to hide from the Tianlu Shrine''s response, as long as you drip a drop of fresh blood in, it could sense it too!


    "According to what I know, there are already no less than several hundred trial-takers who have died under the Tianlu Shrine! Lord Ye Yuan, you''d best leave!" Mo Yun also urged bitterly.


    Ye Yuan also clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard. This artifact refining ability was truly impressive, to actually be able to integrate a trace of Heavenly Dao into the divine artifact.


    This artificer''s means were really impressive.


    After listening to these, Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, "I said before, for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, I''ll do whatever it takes! You guys rest assured, if I really can''t hide from the Tianlu Shrine''s investigation, I won''t implicate you all either!"


    The moment Bai Chen heard, he was indignant and said angrily, "Master Ye Yuan, what are you saying?! This life of mine was given by you, would I still be scared of you implicating? It''s just that this Tianlu Shrine is truly too formidable. I''m afraid ��"


    One could tell that Bai Chen was really worried about Ye Yuan''s safety.


    If he really was found out, even if this Azurepeak could not make Ye Yuan stay, it would also be very hard for Ye Yuan to escape the Sky Foothill World.


    Ye Yuan smiled and patted Bai Chen''s shoulder, and slowly left.


    ...


    Azurepeak abruptly opened both eyes and suddenly sat up in shock.


    "Argh! Pain �� So painful!"


    Green veins throbbed on Azurepeak''s forehead, instantly breaking out into cold sweat.


    Waves of heart-piercing pain seemingly spread throughout his entire body like an uninterrupted electric current.


    Slam!


    Azurepeak directly rolled off the bed and tumbled about on the ground in agony. He could not even emit a cry for help.


    Those few kicks of Ye Yuan seemed ordinary and bland. Actually, each kick was very particular.


    One should not look at what Ye Yuan''s background was. In fact, he was too familiar with the acupoints on a martial artist''s body.


    With the physical body toughness of Deity Realm powerhouses, those few kicks did not leave any hidden injuries on his body. It just released his backlash injuries to the greatest extent.


    Now, the moment he was awake, this pain instantly erupted, making him suffer for quite a while.


    The current Azurepeak was curled up on the ground, his body twitching non-stop, looking incomparably miserable.


    [1] Butt clench.

 1431 Testing Blood

    No idea how long had passed either, the pain finally subsided. Azurepeak''s four limbs finally recovered some mobility.


    However, he only barely managed to stand up after trying for a long time.


    His entire person seemed to be drained, without a trace of strength from head to foot.


    During this long time, he maintained clarity of his consciousness from start to end but was utterly helpless.


    Every hint of pain on his body was transmitted into his brain clearly, like tidewater; without break.


    Azurepeak very much wanted to faint, but he discovered to his dismay that he could not do it at all!


    This period of time was simply even worse than death!


    "Damn White Night Sacred Palace! If I discover that Ye Yuan is an intruder, I''ll definitely not spare even the chickens and dogs!" Azurepeak gnashed his teeth and said in hatred.


    At this time, Bai Xiu''s voice sounded out from outside the door.


    "Has Lord Azurepeak rested well? Palace lord and Grand Elder have made this lowly one come and invite Lord Divine Envoy to the great hall."


    Huo ��


    The door was opened violently from the inside. Azurepeak''s face was sullen until water was virtually about to drip out.


    Rest?


    That was called rest just now?


    He was hurting until he was practically about to commit suicide just now, you guys actually said that it was resting!


    Azurepeak wanted to kill people right now!


    He really wanted to kill people!


    "What''s with Lord Azurepeak? Could it be that you''re blaming our White Night Sacred Palace for the poor reception? Lord Divine Envoy suffered the backlash force and injured the internal organs. Grand Elder said that he helped Lord Divine Envoy purge the hidden injuries with a special technique, there''s absolutely no sequela. Could it be that �� Grand Elder he didn''t cure Lord Divine Envoy''s hidden injuries?" Bai Xiu pretended to be surprised.


    Azurepeak was just about to flare up when he suddenly frowned.


    He viewed internally and discovered that the internal injuries he suffered because of the backlash force were indeed already cured. The meridians in his whole body were unobstructed and actually had a refreshing feeling!


    This discovery made his expression ease up slightly.


    Could it be that �� that Ye Yuan really treated him?


    Recalling that palm of his, the backlash force was indeed not small. It would likely leave behind considerable hidden injuries.


    Now, the injuries were completely healed. Clearly, he had obtained treatment.


    It was just that this treatment �� was a little too painful, right?


    "Mn, the hidden injuries are already healed! Lead the way!" Azurepeak said coldly.


    This Azurepeak, as a divine envoy, was clearly an extremely prideful person.


    Since the other party was really treating him, he did not wish to let the other party know such a deplorable side of him.


    Bai Xiu already had flowers bloom in his heart long ago. If he was not in front of Azurepeak, he would practically be laughing until he rolled on the ground.


    But Bai Xiu was not Bai Chen that sort of little chap. He was in a high position all year round. His shrewdness was rather deep.


    He did not show the slightest hint of emotion on the surface.


    Ye Yuan invited him to watch a good show. That scene of Azurepeak rolling about on the ground in pain previously, he saw it all clearly outside the window.


    How smart was Bai Xiu? He knew that it was Ye Yuan''s underhanded trick done in secret.


    Originally, he was still apprehensive, worried that Azurepeak would utterly rampage after coming out.


    But when he said it according to the words Ye Yuan taught him, he discovered that Azurepeak''s complexion immediately became much better.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, not only would he not blame, he would even be secretly grateful in his heart.


    Currently, he was simply prostrating on all fours in admiration toward this grand elder.


    Azurepeak sucking in cold air while on the ground in pain, he heard it clearly outside.


    To be able to make a grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouse agonized until he wished he was dead, that pain could be imagined.


    Heh!


    Not only did he not assign blame, but his reaction was also really calm and smooth!


    This method, probably only Grand Elder, this kind of figure, could accomplish it, right?


    ...


    Coming to the great hall, Ye Yuan greeted with a smile and said with clasped hands, "White Night Sacred Palace''s grand elder, Ye Yuan, respectfully welcomes Lord Divine Envoy! Previously, this Ye Yuan was in closed-seclusion, resulting in slighting Lord Divine Envoy. Truly sorry! This Ye apologizes and asks Lord Divine Envoy for punishment!"


    Ye Yuan''s attitude was very sincere like he was really going to bow down.


    Azurepeak hurriedly supported his arm and said coolly, "No need!"


    Ye Yuan said joyfully, "Lord Divine Envoy is indeed an exalted envoy, with a broad breadth of mind! Oh, right, the cultivation method that this Ye cultivates is rather peculiar. Once somebody draws near, there will be an extremely powerful backlash force, resulting in accidentally injuring Your Excellency. This Ye is truly guilty and deserves ten thousand deaths! Fortunately, this Ye has some unique methods and helped Lord Divine Envoy open up the meridians, relieving the hidden injuries. This method is a bit painful, but the effects are very good. I wonder if Your Excellency still has ailments now?"


    Azurepeak''s muscles twitched slightly. It was more than a bit painful. It was simply painful until he wished to die!


    However, the effects were really good!


    Otherwise, if he went back to report completion of the mission with hidden injuries, he really had no idea how he would be laughed at.


    "Mn, it''s already well!" Azurepeak still said coolly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then that''s good! Since Lord Divine Envoy already arrived, then let''s get down to business first! This Ye was just a reclusive cultivator previously, how am I some intruder? Some people like to cause trouble by spreading rumors, truly detestable!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan so calm, Azurepeak unwittingly really started to somewhat doubt it in his heart.


    Although this rumor started from god knows where, without a doubt, the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s suspicions were the greatest.


    But, as long as there was a trace of possibility, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace would not let it go either.


    Furthermore, such an expert suddenly emerged, how could they possibly not be careful?


    "Whether or not it''s a rumor, we''ll know after testing!" Azurepeak still continued his indifferent style.


    Finished talking, Azurepeak slightly formed a seal. A box-sized shrine rested on his palm.


    Ye Yuan was currently in a position of face-to-face with Azurepeak. This distance, if the Tianlu Shrine had a response, it should have long unleashed an attack.


    But the Tianlu Shrine did not have any movements at all!


    Seeing this scene, everyone in the White Night Sacred Palace all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    "Like I said, how can Grand Elder possibly be an intruder?"


    "It must be the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of bastards! After the miserable defeat this time, they harbored hatred in their hearts and deliberately fabricated rumors!"


    "Damn Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, we are not done with them!"


    ...


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses all pointed the spearheads at the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, obviously thinking that this was their idea.


    However, the worry of Bai Chen and Mo Yun, in the two person''s hearts, did not disappear at this point.


    After all, the most crucial part of the Tianlu Shrine was still the blood test this checkpoint!


    Sure enough, Azurepeak said coolly, "The aura on the surface can be disguised. But, the Heavenly Dao laws contained in the martial artist''s blood cannot be disguised! Elder Ye, please!"


    A martial artist''s growth was the process of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.


    During this process, one would naturally bring the aura of Heavenly Dao into their own blood too.


    Hence, verifying a martial artist''s identity, the most reliable was still blood!


    When Mo Yun and Bai Chen duo heard this, their hearts leaped to their throats.


    The rest also stopped the din, looking towards Ye Yuan with unmoving eyes.


    The instances of finding out using blood were not few!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and did not hesitate either.


    Only to see a cold light flash. Ye Yuan''s finger had a gash added to it.


    Drip!


    A drop of fresh blood flowed down the fingertip and dripped into the Tianlu Shrine.


    Everyone''s breathing all became ragged!

 1432 Addressing as Brothers

    Swish!


    All of a sudden, the Tianlu Shrine burst forth with a dazzling golden light, shining until everyone could not open their eyes.


    Azurepeak''s expression turned sharp, his deadpan face finally revealed a surprised expression.


    "This �� This is ��"


    It was also the group of White Night powerhouses'' first time seeing the Tianlu Shrine and they did not know what this golden light represented.


    Bai Chen could not resist asking, "Lord Divine Envoy, what �� what does this golden light represent? Is Grand Elder �� an intruder or not?"


    Azurepeak''s expression turned cold and he said solemnly, "Intruder my ass! The guy who spread this rumor will die a horrible death! Elder Ye is pure until he cannot be purer Sky Foothill martial artist!"


    Everyone was first stunned, and immediately revealed a look of great joy.


    Since Azurepeak said so, then it was impossible for Ye Yuan to be some intruder anymore!


    The shock in Bai Chen''s heart could not be any greater. He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly, giving him a calm look.


    Except, the elation on Bai Chen''s face, at this time he did not need to act at all.


    This result, he was really too surprised!


    Only he and Mo Yun two people knew best. Master Ye Yuan was absolutely an outside trial-taker.


    But just what method he used, to actually even outsmart the Tianlu Shrine?


    One had to know that all of the outside world''s trial-takers, even grand completion Heaven Glimpse trial-takers, could not escape the Tianlu Shrine''s verification!


    Yet, only Ye Yuan did it!


    This kind of ability was simply inconceivable.


    To be able to change the exterior aura and hide from the Tianlu Shrine''s investigation, this was not anything impressive.


    But the blood in a martial artist''s body, how did one change the aura to hide from the Tianlu Shrine''s investigation?


    He naturally did not know that Ye Yuan did not use some secret art to conceal the aura in his body, but simulated the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao''s aura with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    This kind of imitation was not on the surface, but fused into every inch of the skin on his body, including the blood!


    Forget about a measly little Tianlu Shrine, even the real Heavenly Dao could not distinguish it!


    Bai Chen discovered that this master he acknowledged was simply an omnipotent god!


    It seemed like there was nothing he could not do!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Seems like this Ye Yuan''s identity shouldn''t have anything worth suspecting, right?"


    At this time, Azurepeak''s face actually squeezed out a hint of a smile and said to Ye Yuan with clasped hands, "Elder Ye, I''ve given offense previously! But Azurepeak is here under orders and didn''t have the intention of being hard on the White Night Sacred Palace. Please excuse me."


    The moment these words came out, White Night''s group virtually did not dare to believe their own ears.


    Such a proud Divine Envoy Azurepeak was actually so courteous to Ye Yuan?


    This �� This was not logical!


    It seemed like the issue lay with that golden light.


    It was just that, no idea what that golden light represented.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What''s Lord Divine Envoy saying here? You''re a divine envoy, representing the paramount Sky Foothill Divine Palace. To be able to welcome Lord Azurepeak is our White Night Sacred Palace''s honor!"


    Azurepeak suddenly felt that this Ye Yuan looked so pleasing to the eye.


    "Don''t keep calling Lord Divine Envoy, I''m a few years older than you, just call me Big Brother Azurepeak!" Azurepeak said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan did not stand on ceremony either and said with a smile, "Big Brother Azurepeak!"


    The two people exchanged glances and smiles, writing off all enmity.


    "Alright, this matter is settled, I''ll also have to go back to report on completion of the mission!" Azurepeak said with clasped hands.


    "Since that''s the case, I won''t hold Big Brother Azurepeak back anymore. Take care!" Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said.


    Azurepeak bade farewell to everyone. When he turned around and left, he said with vicissitudes of emotion, "This child is actually able to trigger the Tianlu Shrine''s golden light, indicating that he has grasped the complete Sky Foothill laws. No wonder his strength is so powerful! This child''s future is limitless and is bound to enter the Sky Foothill Divine Palace in the future! Building good relations with him might be beneficial to me in the future."


    Finished talking, his figure flashed, disappearing from where he was.


    In the White Night Sacred Palace, everyone finally truly relaxed.


    "That golden light is definitely remarkable! You all didn''t see Lord Azurepeak''s expression It changed at that time!"


    "Heh heh, Grand Elder actually addressed Lord Divine Envoy as his brother. Let me see if the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of trash, still dares to be arrogant!"


    "The Autumn Rain Sacred Palace, that bunch of trash, used this kind of despicable method to disgust us when they can''t beat us. Truly too abominable!"


    "One of these days, we''ll exterminate that bunch of grandsons!"


    ...


    Everyone tried to get a word in, but Ye Yuan fell into contemplation.


    Was it really a stumbling block done by the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace? Afraid not! Ye Yuan thought.


    ...


    "What did you say? The divine palace''s divine envoy went to the White Night Sacred Palace and then left just like that?"


    When Qin Tian heard this news, he nearly jumped up.


    No, wait, should be almost spilled the beans.


    "Yes, Palace Lord! Somebody saw that when Ye Yuan saw the divine envoy out, they addressed each other as brothers, their relationship appearing rather good," that subordinate said.


    A mouthful of coagulated blood in Qin Tian''s chest nearly spewed out.


    He forcefully suppressed that mouthful of coagulated blood and said coldly, "Alright, it looks like it was this palace lord who made a mistake. Withdraw, continue keeping a close watch for me!"


    "Yes, Palace Lord!"


    After that subordinate withdrew, the coagulated blood that Qin Tian suppressed could not be endured anymore, spouting out.


    "This is impossible! That Tianlu Shrine is so formidable. How in the world did Ye Yuan avoid it? Could it be that he came out of the Sky Foothill World to begin with? No way! This coordinate had restrictions placed by City Lord, His Excellency! It''s impossible for somebody to escape the Sky Foothill World! Just how many secrets are hidden on this damn fellow''s body?"


    Qin Tian was depressed!


    Failed to screw Ye Yuan over, his heart was struck with anger for a moment and his injuries actually worsened once again.


    "Looks like there''s only making a move myself personally after healing my injuries!"


    ...


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes.


    His aura was much stronger compared to before.


    "I didn''t expect that after expending so many medicinal pills, I actually only cultivated to the half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm. This Chaos Heavenspan Canon is truly too resource-intensive," Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Without a doubt, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon was a top-tier powerful cultivation method in the world.


    But the money-burning extent of this cultivation method, Ye Yuan felt greatly overwhelmed too.


    Before he came, he used points and divine essence stones to exchange for a large batch of spirit medicines. It was actually only able to support him cultivating to the half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    If it were others, they would have long cultivated to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse.


    "This cultivation method of yours is indeed unusual. The resources expended is a lot, but it can exchange for powerful strength. What''s there to be unsatisfied with? Fortunately, you entered the Selfless Realm last time and already created the second level cultivation method. You only need an opportunity now and you can break through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That death cultivation was really very scary. I almost died under my own sword at that time! Such a perverse cultivation method, I really don''t know how Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove thought of it! However, while this method is dangerous, it''s really very effective. For people, their greatest opponent is not the enemy, but themselves!"


    Right at this time, a communication talisman broke into Ye Yuan''s closed-seclusion area.


    Ye Yuan checked it, the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of a smile.


    The Divine Ruins was finally about to open up!

 1433 Powerful Enemies All-round!

    "Hahaha �� I finally recovered! Ye Yuan, this time, I''ll see where you can escape!"


    Inside the Life End Sacred Palace''s hidden chamber, Qin Tian suddenly snapped open his eyes, bursting forth with rays of brilliant light.


    He was in closed-seclusion here for ten years. Today, he finally healed all of his injuries.


    All of the grudges and enmity shall be settled in full this time!


    "Wu Hen!"


    "Your subordinate is present!"


    "Has the White Night Sacred Palace set off yet?"


    "Already set off for the Divine Ruins! Palace Lord, should we set off too?"


    "Depart! This trip, we have to return fully loaded!"


    "Yes, Palace Lord!"


    After Wu Hen left, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Qin Tian''s mouth.


    "Alright. I came, so I can''t return empty-handed!"


    ...


    In front of him was a massive stretch of ruins. But the waves of terrifying aura exuding out from inside, even Ye Yuan felt his heart palpitate too.


    This Divine Ruins seemed to have existed here since ancient times. This place was both unusually dangerous and also full of opportunities.


    This place was also a place filled with dangers to Origin Deity Realm powerhouses.


    The entrance to the Divine Ruins was a volcanic crater. The place had a stretch of pure white bones, seemingly declaring to everyone death.


    Ye Yuan had not approached the entrance area yet and already sensed the rolling heatwaves surge over.


    This terrifying temperature, even he, this half step into Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse, quite not quite bear it.


    Once entered from there, the temperature inside could only be imagined.


    "It''s probably Grand Elder''s first time coming to the Divine Ruins, right?" When Bai Xiu saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he guessed it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In the past, I''ve always been cultivating bitterly in closed-seclusion. It''s really my first time coming to this Divine Ruins."


    Bai Xiu said, "The peripherals of the Divine Ruins have a natural flame restriction that can incinerate everything. Even peak Origin Deity powerhouses aren''t able to enter inside normally too. Every thousand years or so, this restriction power will have a period of dormancy. The Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s Divine Palace Lord will use a celestial divine artifact, the Flame Restriction Seal, and break the restriction, letting us enter."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So that''s how it is!"


    At this time, a large group of Deity Realm powerhouses flew over from the horizon. They were precisely the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s Huo Tianyang and co.


    The atmosphere on the White Night Sacred Palace''s side changed all at once.


    Especially Bai Chen, his two eyes were about to spew fire.


    He only hated that his strength was too weak. Otherwise, he would have long charged forward to fight it out with Huo Tianyang.


    The moment the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace landed, it became dangerously explosive between the two major forces, with major signs of attacking at a word of disagreement.


    "Goodness me, my eldest nephew, don''t use this expression to look at this palace lord! In a while, when inside, it wouldn''t be good if this palace lord accidentally pushes you into the fire pit," Huo Tianyang said with a taunting look.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, "With the likes of you?"


    Huo Tianyang''s expression became stifled, his eyes full of apprehension.


    If not for this guy in front of him, they would have long eradicated the White Night Sacred Palace!


    "Heh, punk, don''t get cocky first! It''s not late to be cocky after you can come out of the Divine Ruins!" Huo Tianyang said with a cold smile.


    Finished talking, Huo Tianyang brought the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s powerhouses to one side.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned grim. This Huo Tianyang �� had an underlying meaning in his words!


    Bai Xiu''s expression was not too good as well. Moving close in front of Ye Yuan, he said softly, "Grand Elder, this Huo Tianyang seems to be somewhat off!"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Looking at his appearance, he seems to be relying on something! You go and warn everybody. After entering the Divine Ruins in a while, be more careful."


    Bai Xiu nodded and said, "Mn, got it!"


    As they were talking, one group of force after another arrived in succession.


    The entrance area became much more lively all at once.


    But the various major forces seemed to be very interested in the White Night Sacred Palace.


    "I really didn''t expect that the White Night Sacred Palace actually let a kid still wet behind his ears become the palace lord. I really don''t know what that Bai Xiu is thinking."


    "Haha, this is probably the funniest scene in the history of the Sky Foothill World, right? An initial-stage Grotto Profound chap is actually leading a group of Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. Really funny!"


    "Heard that their Grand Elder Ye Yuan is very formidable. Not only is his strength powerful, he even has a powerful Ghost Dao powerhouse by his side, capable of fighting evenly with Huo Tianyang!"


    ...


    These discussions made the Bai Chen beside Ye Yuan appear rather restless and uneasy.


    He knew that after Master obtained the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, he might be leaving the Sky Foothill World.


    At that time, how was he going to face the numerous powerful enemies?


    "Everybody in the world can look down on you, only you can''t! They all feel that you can''t make it, so you do it for them to see, and make all of them shut up!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent and his mood immediately calmed down and he said with a nod, "I understand, Master!"


    Right at this time, several profiles flew over from the horizon again.


    The person in the center rode on a tiger with wings, with the air of an expert.


    This person''s aura was incomparably powerful. The person had yet to arrive and a powerful aura already enveloped over, making everyone''s faces change.


    Origin Deity powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern, looking at that old man on the tiger''s back.


    This should be the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine official.


    Very soon, his gaze was placed on a person behind the old man. It was actually an old acquaintance. Who could it be if not Azurepeak?


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that the faces of everyone around him changed. The atmosphere on the White Night Sacred Palace''s side became oppressed all of a sudden.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look and asked Bai Xiu, "What''s wrong?"


    Bai Xiu''s expression was ugly to the extreme as he said, "No wonder Huo Tianyang was so cocky. It looks like he had long gotten the news! This divine official is the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s previous generation palace lord, Duan Fei!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression also changed when he heard it. He did not expect that there was actually still such a coincidental thing.


    He knew that in the Sky Foothill World, as long as one could break through to the Origin Deity Realm, they would be called away by the Sky Foothill Divine Palace, becoming the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine official!


    After becoming a divine official, they must cut off all relations with their original sacred palace and serve the Sky Foothill Divine Palace faithfully.


    However, even if he became a divine official, he was still a human after all.


    People had feelings, how could it be possible to turn a blind eye to their original faction?


    From Huo Tianyang''s performance, he had clearly long known that the divine official coming this time was Duan Fei!


    This indicated that Duan Fei definitely notified him in advance.


    Then during the Divine Ruins trip this time, what Duan Fei would do, use one''s butt to think and they would also know.


    Ye Yuan immediately felt a headache coming one. One Huo Tianyang was already troublesome enough. Adding on another Origin Deity powerhouse, Duan Fei, this trip was really perilous!


    "Ye Yuan, that guy wearing a mask, his entire body''s aura cold and gloomy, seems to be constantly paying attention to you! Uh �� This person seems to be rather familiar."


    Dustless''s voice sounded out in Ye Yuan''s mind, making Ye Yuan''s heart jump again.


    "Paying attention to me? Rather familiar?"


    A hint of a bitter smile flashed across in Ye Yuan''s heart and he said, "I think I know who he is! I really didn''t think that everyone got together!"


    "You know who he is?" Dustless said curiously.


    "Apart from Qin Tian, who else can there be?" Ye Yuan said coldly.

 1434 A Bunch of Cannon Fodders

    "It''s him?" Dustless was also somewhat surprised as he said.


    "The rumor that spread last time, everybody said that it was done by the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace. However, that doesn''t conform to common sense! The most logical situation should be that somebody knows my identity and wants to put me to death! Previously, I was only suspecting. Now, already his aura has changed drastically, I''m very certain that he''s Qin Tian!" Ye Yuan said.


    Dustless came to a realization and said, "Looking at it this way, it really is so! Looks like Wu Meng Academy that side is really unreliable!"


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Our city lord is really indulgent enough toward the Qin Family!"


    Dustless fell silent. Qin Tian''s appearance made Ye Yuan lost the last trace of favorable impression towards the Wu Meng City Lord.


    Now, an Origin Deity Realm Duan Fei, a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Huo Tianyang, plus a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Qin Tian.


    This Divine Ruins trip was really extremely dangerous!


    These three people added up were even a bit more dangerous than the Divine Ruins.


    "Then, do you still want to enter?" Dustless said.


    "Why wouldn''t I go in? I have no time to wait anymore! This Divine Ruins open once every thousand years. For the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, I must enter!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Boom!


    Right at this time, the volcano that had always been in turmoil finally erupted!


    Violent magma was seemingly like a fountain, spraying out non-stop, presenting a magnificent sight.


    Everyone was extremely far away, but under the impact of wave after wave of heatwaves, some staggered unsteadily on their feet.


    Everyone all mustered up divine essence, covering the surface of the body to resist these heatwaves.


    Suddenly, Duan Fei felt something, turning his head and looking in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    Only to see that when those air billows approached Ye Yuan''s proximity, they seemed to split, automatically dividing into two halves, flowing past from Ye Yuan''s side.


    A hint of strange look flashed across in Duan Fei''s eyes, and he turned his head around again.


    No idea how long had passed either, the volcanic eruption was finally done. Everything returned to normal.


    Those horrifying heatwaves finally took away the temperature.


    "Now is the time!"


    Duan Fei gave a cold cry, a hint of stunning light flashed in his hands.


    The Flame Restriction Seal flagrantly attacked!


    Everyone only saw a streak of white light tear across the horizon, flying straight for the volcanic entrance.


    A light halo spread out. Everyone immediately felt that temperature drop significantly.


    That natural flame restriction finally had a gap opened up.


    Done with all these, Duan Fei looked in the White Night Sacred Palace''s direction and said coolly, "White Night Sacred Palace enter first, the others follow closely behind."


    It indeed came!


    The Divine Ruins had not opened for a thousand years, It was not known how many powerful existences had spawned inside again.


    Letting the White Night Sacred Palace enter first was the idea of letting them be cannon fodders and scout the path.


    This targeting was truly a bit too obvious.


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s people all dared to feel indignant but did not dare to speak. Bai Chen was even angered until his face turned red, wishing to go up to find Duan Fei and risk his life.


    While the other sacred palaces let things drift if it did not affect them personally, gloating over others'' misfortunes by the side.


    Ye Yuan gave Duan Fei a glance and discovered that he was currently sizing him up with interest. At once, he said indifferently, "Come on!"


    "Grand Elder!" Bai Xiu said unwillingly.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and he said, "Go!"


    The current Ye Yuan already established an absolute prestige in the White Night Sacred Palace.


    With him being furious, the others could only swallow the insult and endure in silence, following him and flying towards the volcanic entrance.


    Seeing this scene, Duan Fei''s face revealed a trace of surprise.


    He thought that Ye Yuan was young and would definitely find him to argue.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually forcefully endured it.


    Huo Tianyang''s face revealed a smug smile. With the old palace lord around, it is really too awesome. I hope that these guys step on more land-mines and die out.


    "Grand Elder, they are being too much!" Bai Xiu said indignantly.


    "Yeah, Master! Why did we just swallow the insult and endure in silence?" Bai Chen also said unhappily.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Otherwise what? You guys finding him to go and risk your lives?"


    Everyone could not help choking up. Finding an Origin Deity powerhouse to put up a desperate fight?


    Wasn''t this courting death?!


    "But the divine palace has regulations, the divine palace is not to have ties with their original faction!" Bai Xiu said with indignation.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "My deputy palace lord, you''re also someone up in the years, how can you be so naive? If you become a divine official, will you break away, but still remain connected or not?"


    Bai Xiu froze, his face immediately flushing red, but said no more.


    In all fairness, he could not do it!


    "Hence, don''t feel any psychological imbalance either! Want to blame, can only blame you all for not having people in the divine palace! The Sky Foothill Divine Palace setting this rule, it''s just in order to better govern the various forces and maintain the Sky Foothill World''s balance. But to really talk about completely prohibiting it, that''s impossible. Therefore, going to find him to reason can only invite humiliation!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The words made everyone speechless.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan saw it more thoroughly than them.


    For Duan Fei to dare do so, there must be a contingency plan waiting for them.


    As long as they knocked into the spearhead, it was not overboard to make one or two people the first targets of punishment.


    Hence, it was better to be more low-profile.


    Wasn''t it just being cannon fodders, we''ll do it!


    At least on the surface, Duan Fei did not dare to kill people without any reason.


    After all, so many eyes were watching!


    Ye Yuan entered first, flying straight into the volcanic entrance. The rest followed him, entering in a single file.


    No idea how long he flew either, Ye Yuan finally landed. What entered the eyes was full of magma with sparks flying in all directions, looking soul-stirring.


    "Careful, Grand Elder!" Bai Xiu suddenly shouted.


    Ye Yuan had just landed when a ball of fire flew over towards Ye Yuan, its speed quick to the extreme.


    However, Ye Yuan''s sword was even faster than it!


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan had long detected the approach of danger. Lifting his hand, it was Sundering Stars!


    Boom!


    That ball of fire was directly chopped flying out, smashing into the rock wall.


    "It''s a lava flying monster! Divine rank lava flying monster! Not good, they normally appear in groups!" Bai Xiu''s expression changed as he said.


    Bai Xiu''s voice had yet to face when everyone just felt a blur before their eyes and saw many fireballs rush out of the lava, just like that one earlier.


    They were precisely the lava flying monsters!


    At a glance, the numbers were likely no less than 100!


    Over 100 divine rank lava flying monsters made people''s eyes blurry, the commotion was outrageous.


    As long as hit by one, they would be crippled even if not dead.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and he said, "Be careful. Elders, guard the periphery; the rest in the inner-circle!"


    Of the nine elders, only three came this time.


    Adding Ye Yuan and Bai Xiu, there were a total of five Heaven Glimpse and above strength.


    Under Ye Yuan''s word of command, everyone immediately formed inner and outer, two circles, to carry out the defense.


    These lava flying monsters were extremely powerful. Even if Heaven Glimpse powerhouses were struck, they would probably lose a layer of skin too.


    Even Ye Yuan did not dare to slight it too.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    The lava flying monsters'' trajectories were virtually untraceable. Furthermore, they were swift to the extreme; simply impossible to guard against.


    In a blink, that bunch of flying monsters arrived in front of them.


    "Attack!"


    Ye Yuan gave a loud cry. Lifting his hand, it was several Sundering Stars tearing through the air.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Several lava flying monsters were hacked flying.


    Bai Chen hid in the inner-circle, only to see a blur before his eyes. A surge of heatwaves hit him head-on. Wanting to defend was already too late!

 1435 Giant Flame Stoneman!

    Whoosh!


    A ray of sword light came through the sky, chopping that lava flying monster flying.


    Bang!


    At the same time, only to hear a loud bang. Ye Yuan''s body was directly smashed flying out.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan directly spewed out a mouthful of blood, but immediately adjusted his position in the air, abruptly borrowing force and returned into the group battle.


    In midair, he even managed to find time to release several swords, cutting down lava flying monsters.


    "Master Ye Yuan!" Bai Chen''s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted.


    If not for Ye Yuan helping him to block this, he would be dead for sure.


    "I''m fine! This thing''s speed is too fast, be careful!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Forcefully taking the hit of a lava flying monster, Ye Yuan felt his blood in turmoil too.


    Fortunately, his fleshy body was already grand completion first transformation and what he cultivated was also the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art. His defensive power was more than several times stronger than those in the same rank.


    A one time impact would not cause fatal damage to him yet.


    Bai Chen clenched his jaws, self-reproaching emotions had long already filled his chest.


    "Who said that the trial-takers were all bad guys who destroyed the Sky Foothill World? Master, he values relations and sentiments immensely;God knows how many times better than the Sky Foothill World''s people! It''s all my fault! All my fault for being too weak! I want to become strong! I can''t become Master''s burden!"


    A surge of powerful fighting spirit erupted from his body.


    "Kill!"


    Bai Chen''s spear was peerlessly domineering, brazenly attacking.


    In this instance, a trace of enlightenment was produced in Bai Chen''s heart.


    Originally, he could not catch the lava flying monsters at all. At this time, he actually saw it incomparably clearly!


    His spear tip was actually slowing down!


    Boom!


    This spear struck a lava flying monster without any deviation!


    Ye Yuan''s hands did not slow down in the slightest, but taking this spear of Bai Chen''s into his sights, revealing a hint of a praising smile.


    "Haha, I finally did it!" Bai Chen said excitedly.


    "Pretty well done! Careful, coming again!" Ye Yuan warned.


    Bai Chen''s face fell, his spear stabbing out once more!


    In a blink, over a hundred lava flying monsters were all blasted away.


    On the ground, on the rock walls, were holes everywhere.


    Ye Yuan alone virtually resisted over half of the lava flying monsters.


    Otherwise, their party would definitely suffer heavy casualties.


    Bai Chen came before Ye Yuan with a self-reproaching look and said, "Master, it was all my fault, causing you to be injured!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''ve already done very well. These lava flying monsters are not what the current you can resist. These few years, your painstaking cultivation, Master has seen it. Now, your spear art finally improved further. Congratulations!"


    With Bai Chen''s strength, blocking one or two that were weaker was still okay.


    Some lava flying monsters'' impact force already approached Heaven Glimpse Realm. How could it be what he was able to deal with?


    These few years, Bai Chen trained in the spear for all he was worth, wanting to reach the realm of that spear Ye Yuan exhibited.


    For this, he was tired out until all the divine essence in his body was exhausted god knows how many times, collapsing weakly onto the ground.


    All these, Ye Yuan naturally saw it.


    Presently, his spear art was finally mastered, his strength increasing greatly.


    "Huhu, Elder Ye''s sword art is transcendent, how impressive! Facing so many lava flying monsters, not a single person actually died, truly impressive."


    At this time, the others also descended from the sky and landed onto the ground. Huo Tianyang directly taunted


    Ye Yuan knew that they had come over long ago. But each and every one of them watched indifferently without lending a hand. Most likely, they all hoped to see the White Night Sacred Palace suffer heavy casualties.


    Just now, that lava flying monster almost killed Bai Chen. Huo Tianyang had a look of excitement.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan saved Bai Chen at the risk of suffering a blow himself.


    Even more unexpected was that Ye Yuan was actually still able to maintain such powerful combat strength after suffering such a heavy blow.


    Right now, although these words were ridiculing, it actually also had some sour taste in it.


    Ye Yuan just smiled when he heard that and said, "Sorry about that, disappointed you. This bit of minor trouble, this Ye can still resolve it. Just take it as blazing the trail for Lord Divine Official. Don''t you say so, Lord Divine Official?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Duan Fei with a wide grin. Duan Fei grunted his assent and said, "Elder Ye indeed has fine means. If you don''t fall, you and I might even work together one day!"


    Duan Fei''s words immediately caused an uproar.


    There were dozens of Heaven Glimpse powerhouses here. But among them, nobody dared to say that they would become Origin Deity powerhouses.


    Breaking through to the Origin Deity Realm was far too difficult!


    Hence, Duan Fei''s appraisal of Ye Yuan could not be said to not be high.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that he did not perish!


    Everyone was smart and naturally heard insinuation.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "This Ye likely won''t have that good fortune!"


    Everyone''s expressions changed. This Ye Yuan''s guts were plucky.


    The meaning of his words was naturally not saying that he would fall, but saying that Duan Fei would not live till that day!


    These two people''s words hid needles, the smell of gunpowder rather strong!


    Duan Fei''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Elder Ye, please go ahead!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Go!"


    Ye Yuan took the lead and continued leading the White Night Sacred Palace''s people as cannon fodders.


    This was a wide stone bridge. The two sides of the stone bridge were endless magma.


    Ye Yuan could sense those powerful restriction undulations on both sides and above walking on the stone bridge.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that this Celestial Deity Sky Foothill''s comprehensions in fire laws must be extremely deep.


    This restriction power, forget about the Deity Realm three realms'' martial artists, even Divine Lord Realm probably could not withstand it too.


    "Quickly look! Purple Sand Gold! What a large chunk of Purple Sand Gold!" Bai Chen suddenly shouted.


    Duan Fei''s eyes lit up and saw that at the end of the stone bridge, a piece of enormous rock was mounted on that cliff wall. It was likely as large as three people wrapped their arms around.


    Purple Sand Gold was an excellent material for refining celestial divine artifacts with a wide range of uses.


    The Sky Foothill World''s artifact refining path being prosperous had a lot to do with the existence of the Purple Sand Gold.


    Such a large chunk of Purple Sand Gold could be said to be worth several cities.


    But everyone''s faces did not have very happy expressions. Because according to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s rules, Purple Sand Gold, this level of material, all completely belonged to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace.


    "Palace Lord Bai Chen, go and pluck down the Purple Sand Gold. At this time, it''s time for your White Night Sacred Palace to show loyalty," Duan Fei turned to Bai Chen and said indifferently.


    Bai Chen was practically about to explode. He glared at Duan Fei and said, "Places that have Purple Sand Gold are bound to have Giant Flame Stonemen! If Lord Divine Official wants to kill me, just say a word, why is there a need to do so?"


    Duan Fei smiled and said, "Why, Palace Lord Bai Chen''s meaning is that the White Night Sacred Palace is going to oppose the divine palace?"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed, simply infuriated to the extreme.


    Duan Fei this guy was clearly going to screw the White Night Sacred Palace to death!


    "Best for me to go then. Lord Divine Official''s charge is a little too big, we can''t bear it!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Master! A Giant Flame Stoneman is extremely strong. Such a large chunk of Purple Sand Gold, it must be adult Giant Flame Stoneman guarding it, existences that rivals middle-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses!" Bai Chen gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, it''s fine."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure floated away, arriving at the Purple Sand Gold''s area in a blink of an eye.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan unleashed several slashes with a raise of a hand and directly cut out that Purple Sand Gold.


    Slam!


    Slam!


    Slam!


    Indeed as expected, a giant stoneman covered in flames all over appeared in front of everyone.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Duan Fei''s mouth. But very soon, his smile turned stiff on his face!

 1436 Winds of Fortune Change

    "Lord Divine Official, catch!"


    Ye Yuan urged his palm force. That chunk of incomparably massive and heavy Purple Sand Gold flew straight at Duan Fei.


    Duan Fei''s expression changed several times, finally still catching it, and putting it away into his storage ring.


    But right then, everyone''s expression became unbelievably ugly.


    The front of the bridge and rear were all blocked by Giant Flame Stonemen.


    These Giant Flame Stonemen all had incomparably strong auras. Clearly, they were not easy to deal with.


    "This �� There are normally only one or two Giant Flame Stonemen around Purple Sand Gold. How come there are so many?"


    "These Giant Flame Stonemen''s auras are so strong. Quite a number are even Heaven Glimpse Realm existences! This �� We''re dead this time!"


    "You guys, look! There are still more below! They �� They are climbing up!"


    Everyone looked down the bridge and discovered that there were still many Giant Flame Stonemen scaling up the rock wall.


    With this, the surroundings were all surrounded by Giant Flame Stonemen!


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth and he shouted fiercely, "Charge with me! Rush in!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan held the Evil Extermination Sword out and charged over toward the Giant Flame Stonemen ahead.


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses did not hesitate in the slightest, following Ye Yuan and charging over in the direction of the Divine Ruins'' depths.


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan dealt Sundering Stars with a raise of a hand. But chopping onto the Giant Flame Stoneman''s body, only sparks splashed out.


    That Giant Flame Stoneman raised its fire fists and smashed over towards Ye Yuan.


    The fist had yet to arrive when a surge of powerful fire laws battered over toward Ye Yuan.


    So strong!


    Ye Yuan''s heart went slightly cold too. This was just an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Giant Flame Stoneman and its strength was actually so powerful, virtually able to one-shot same rank martial artists!


    Although Ye Yuan was shocked, he did not panic. Raising his life, it was another Sundering Stars!


    Bang!


    The stone fist that was currently in full swing directly exploded.


    The moment Ye Yuan made a move, it crippled one of the Giant Flame Stoneman''s arm.


    "Elders, pin down all the stonemen together, the others break through first!" Ye Yuan shouted.


    "Yes!" Everyone immediately answered.


    But at the back, Duan Fei''s face fell and he said, "We''re going too!"


    Slam!


    His voice had yet to fade when an even more robust Giant Flame Stoneman flew out of the magma, directly blocking in front of Duan Fei.


    Duan Fei''s expression turned sharp and he cried out in shock, "Origin Deity Realm Giant Flame Stoneman!"


    That Giant Flame Stoneman did not give him the chance to be surprised at all, its fist already smashing over towards him unreasonably.


    Boom!


    Duan Fei was forced to exchange a blow with the Giant Flame Stoneman, being shocked back over a dozen steps.


    Before waiting for him to catch a breather, that Giant Flame Stoneman''s punch arrived again.


    "Damn thing! To actually dare scam me?! How did he discover this Giant Flame Stoneman?"


    Duan Fei gnashed his teeth in hatred. How could he still not know that Ye Yuan dug a pit for him?


    Ye Yuan giving him the Purple Gold Sand right away was to lure this Giant Flame Stoneman to deal with him.


    At this time, the Giant Flame Stonemen around Duan Fei were the most.


    Those stonemen that crawled up from beneath the bridge, most of them closed in around him.


    It was just that those Giant Flame Stonemen were nothing to him. The most terrifying one was still this Origin Deity Realm Giant Flame Stoneman in front of him!


    Duan Fei was clearly aware that he was scammed by Ye Yuan, but could only suffer a quiet loss too.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s way of doing things could not pick out the slightest fault.


    Ye Yuan they all were treated as cannon fodders, at the front of the team.


    But now, the Giant Flame Stonemen on their side were the least instead!


    They had already reached the end of the bridge. Ahead was a large cave.


    And the Giant Flame Stonemen that came out from the direction of the cave were only five or six, while what the rear battalion had to deal with were several dozens.


    These Giant Flame Stonemen were very powerful. Ye Yuan already heard miserable cries lingering on incessantly from behind.


    "Finish the fight quickly, don''t cling to battle!" Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    He summoned Gui Yun out too. The Nether Ghostclaw was incomparably fierce, smacking over toward a late-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm Giant Flame Stoneman.


    Ye Yuan recently had breakthroughs in laws and cultivation realm. Displaying the complete version Sundering Stars was already no longer that taxing.


    Swish!


    Swish!


    Swish!


    Ye Yuan released three sword moves in succession, directly blasting that Giant Flame Stoneman''s upper body into smithereens.


    But executing these three sword moves, Ye Yuan''s divine essence, more than half were consumed.


    He hurriedly took out a divine essence recovering medicinal pill to consume and could not be bothered with refining it, directly covering Bai Chen and the rest over to this gap.


    Bang!


    The Nether Ghostclaw slapped down, directly smashing that Giant Flame Stoneman into dust.


    Looking at the others again, inclusive of Bai Xiu, they had all fallen into hard battles.


    "You go and help Bai Xiu, I''ll go help the rest!" Ye Yuan said to Gui Yun.


    "Yes, Master!"


    Gui Yun voiced his assent and went. After he cultivated the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, his combat power was extremely powerful now.


    Although these Giant Flame Stonemen were strong, they would be blown up after lasting a while under his hands.


    Fortunately, their side did not have grand completion Heaven Glimpse Giant Flame Stonemen. This made their battles easy to resolve.


    Before long, under Ye Yuan and Gui Yun''s cooperation, those five to six Giant Flame Stonemen were all smashed to pieces, becoming balls of fireballs scattering all over the ground.


    He did not have the awareness to return to save people, directly bringing the White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses inside.


    "Ye Yuan, you dare!"


    The Duan Fei who was currently fighting fiercely with the Origin Deity Realm Giant Flame Stoneman felt something in his heart and shouted at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Divine Official, it''s not that I''m not helping you. But this Origin Deity Realm Giant Flame Stoneman is seriously too powerful, I have the heart but not the strength too! As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. We''ll continue scouting the path ahead for you. Let''s meet again if it''s fated!"


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan''s words stirred Duan Fei''s mind. The Giant Flame Stoneman''s fist rumbled over, brushing by his cheek and flying past.


    Although Duan Fei dodged it, the power of laws still burnt a chunk of his skin, turning it charcoal black.


    "ARGH!!"


    Duan Fei cried out tragically and was considered to be disfigured.


    The burns of fire laws were not that easy to treat.


    "Bai Chen, does your White Night Sacred Palace want to be enemies with the divine palace?" Duan Fei could not be bothered with the injuries on his face and shouted fiercely.


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and indeed stopped his footsteps.


    "Master ��" Bai Chen said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Wait for him to go out alive before coming to threaten us! Not leaving now, we''ll all have to be buried in death! Go!"


    Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Go!"


    Bai Xiu and the rest understood this logic too. Furthermore, they held resentment in their hearts toward Duan Fei and the rest.


    Duan Fei let them be cannon fodders, not a single person stepped forward to say something.


    When they suffered the attack of the lava flying monsters, no one lent a helping hand too.


    The resentment in their hearts had long reached the peak already.


    If without Ye Yuan, their group of people would probably have long been completely annihilated now. How could they still have the chance to stand here and watch a joke?


    Seeing the other seven major sacred palaces screaming miserably on the bridge, everyone felt very pleased in their hearts!


    Weren''t you guys watching a show just now? Now, the winds of fortunes changed, it''s our turn!


    "This Divine Ruins seems to have some abnormal changes. It will likely not be very safe in front either. Everybody, be more careful. Take care not to get lost!" Ye Yuan warned.

 1437 Qin Tian Arrives!

    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    ...


    The Giant Flame Stoneman punched again and again. The momentum was vigorous, with its power sweeping away all.


    Similarly Origin Deity Realm, Duan Fei could only keep on dodging and not dare to face the enemy head-on at all.


    This Giant Flame Stoneman was too strong. Each punch carried extremely profound fire laws; incomparably powerful.


    "Damn Ye Yuan, when I catch you, I''ll definitely tear you limb from limb!"


    Duan Fei already hated Ye Yuan to the extreme.


    It was just that thoughts were thoughts, this Giant Flame Stoneman in front of him was too powerful. Duan Fei was so fully occupied that he had no time to spare for other things at all.


    All around, screams lingered on incessantly.


    Everyone fell into the besiege of the Giant Flame Stonemen. There were already quite a few people who had fallen.


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, a black silhouette charged out of the Giant Flame Stonemen''s encirclement, turned into an afterimage, vanishing from everyone''s line of sight.


    Duan Fei''s face fell and he shouted fiercely again, "Life End, could it be that you want to betray the divine palace too?"


    However, ''Life End'' ignored him, directly disappearing from his line of sight.


    Duan Fei was gloomy, virtually about to explode.


    He, this divine official, there was actually no one who took him seriously!


    Forget about the White Night Sacred Palace, the Life End Sacred Palace''s palace lord actually dared to not listen to his words too.


    This was too much!


    "Damn it! After going back this time, I must charge White Night and Life End. Let the divine palace punish them! These guys are simply too arrogant!" Duan Fei sulked in his heart.


    Qin Tian''s head was full of thoughts about killing Ye Yuan currently, so how could he have time to care about Duan Fei?


    How the Life End Sacred Palace would end up had nothing to do with him at all.


    Qin Tian''s strength already reached the extent of half-step Origin Deity. Furthermore, his law comprehension was exceedingly high, much stronger compared to those so-called palace lords.


    With his strength, although charging out of the heavy encirclement took some effort, it was not considered too hard.


    Hence, he was the first to charge out.


    He had concealed in the Sky Foothill World for ten years, the objective was in order to kill Ye Yuan.


    Now that the opportunity was in front of him, how could he possibly let it go?


    ...


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s party, Ye Yuan was scouting out the path in front, advancing slowly.


    "Grand Elder, I keep feeling that something is not quite right! Entering the Divine Ruins this time feels much more dangerous!" Bai Xiu said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If I didn''t guess wrongly, there should be a precious treasure coming into being!"


    "Precious treasure coming into being!"


    Hearing these words, everyone was aroused.


    Precious treasure being born, who could remain calm?


    Perhaps it was a lucky chance!


    Seeing their expressions, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "All of you, you don''t have this expression. Precious treasures coming into being are obtained by the fated. It can''t be forced! If one doesn''t have self-awareness, they will only lose their lives in vain."


    Ye Yuan directly splashed a tub of cold water on him. But it clearly could not extinguish their enthusiasm.


    These words, everyone all knew. But facing a precious treasure, how many were able to stay calm?


    Suddenly, everyone arrived at an open area. The boundless essence energy undulations made everyone''s eyes lit up.


    "Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits! So many!"


    "There are also quite a number of matured ones! What a big haul!"


    Before their eyes were around ten Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruit Trees. The trees were full of Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits.


    Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruit was categorized into semi-mature and mature. That one that Bai Chen gave Ye Yuan was semi-mature.


    In reality, even in the Sky Foothill Divine Palace, there were extremely few mature Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits too.


    Mature Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits were greatly beneficial to Origin Deity Realm powerhouses too, even capable of increasing the chances of Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists breaking through to Origin Deity Realm.


    Therefore, when everyone saw these Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits, they naturally coveted endlessly.


    "Grand Elder, this �� Can we pocket it or not?" Bai Xiu could not resist asking.


    According to the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s rules, Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruit, Purple Sand Gold, these precious treasures all belong to them.


    The Sky Foothill Divine Palace would occasionally reward that little bit according to each sacred palace''s contributions.


    The Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits in Bai Chen''s possession was obtained like that.


    The Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s accumulated awe was too immense. Hence, Bai Xiu this kind of wily old fox did not dare to arbitrarily take forcible possession of these fruits.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, "If you pluck all the fruits, then destroy all these trees, will Duan Fei know that you obtained the immortal fruits? As long as you all don''t say, what can he do to you? Moreover, whether or not he can get out alive is still up in the air!"


    The moment everyone heard this, they could not help being greatly roused.


    "So �� let''s do it?" Bai Xiu said rather excitedly.


    "Do it!" Ye Yuan said without any hesitation.


    With Ye Yuan''s instructions, everyone immediately acted like being injected with stimulants, dividing up these Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruits in no time flat.


    Bai Xiu carried five to six mature fruits and came before Ye Yuan, saying with a silly grin, "Grand Elder, without you, there wouldn''t be our White Night Sacred Palace. These Nine Melodies Psychic Immortal Fruit are what you deserve! Also, that pile of semi-matures over there all belong to Grand Elder!"


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and took one of them and said with a smile, "At least you have some conscience! But I don''t really need this thing. This one, just take it as receiving your kindness. The rest, you guys divide it!"


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s group of experts were like bandits entering a village at this time, sweeping it clean.


    After that, they destroyed all of these fruit trees without leaving even dregs behind.


    Each and every one had grins on their faces, like having eaten honey.


    Suddenly, a black-robed person wearing a ghost mask slowly stepped into this open area.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell. He did not expect that this guy actually charged out so quickly.


    "Qin Tian, looks like I still underestimated you!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Hearing these words, Qin Tian clearly felt very surprised, slowly took off the mask, and said, "You actually know that it''s me! Looks like your probing means are indeed impressive. No wonder Uncle Yuanlong would succumb at your hands!"


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Heh, your Qin Family really cover the skies with one hand!"


    Qin Tian smiled and said, "Looks like you''re very furious. I enjoy this expression of yours very much! Want to blame, blame that you didn''t reincarnate well!"


    "Better forget it. Reincarnating into your Qin Family, I''m afraid that I''ll be ashamed until I commit suicide!" Ye Yuan said with a sneer.


    Qin Tian''s face turned cold and he said solemnly, "Razor-tongued! Today, you can''t escape your doom! The humiliation that you gave me will be washed off with your fresh blood!"


    While talking, Qin Tian slowly opened but his sword sheath, the aura on his body rising sharply, directly soaring to half-step Origin Deity Realm!


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s group of experts had puzzled looks and had completely no idea what happened.


    All the way until this instant, the expressions on everyone''s faces changed!


    "I-Intruder! He''s an intruder!" Bai Xiu cried out in shock.


    When Qin Tian''s aura rose to its peak, a faint pressure of Heavenly Dao descended, oppressing over toward Qin Tian.


    Qin Tian''s realm was finally suppressed at grand completion Heaven Glimpse!


    What the White Night Sacred Palace was shocked at was not Qin Tian, but Ye Yuan!


    They used dumbfounded gazes to look at Ye Yuan, each and every one revealing looks of incredulity.


    Through this conversation, even a fool also knew that Ye Yuan and Qin Tian were the same. Ye Yuan was an intruder too!

 1438 Fierce Fighting, Qin Tian!

    The moment Qin Tian''s sword momentum rose, everyone''s expression turned fearful.


    Even when suppressed by Heavenly Dao, Qin Tian''s strength was also so terrifying!


    "Grand Chant Sword Void!"


    This move was precisely one of Wu Meng Academy''s six supreme academy skills, the Grand Chant Sword Void!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan had the life-and-death battle with Qin Shao, he had once witnessed the power of this move before.


    Except, this move being displayed in Qin Tian''s hands, the power could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.


    This was a grand completion Sword Dao second-layered heaven martial technique!


    "Gui Yun!"


    "Yes, Master!"


    Gui Yun''s figure flashed out, facing off with Qin Tian from afar.


    Qin Tian was an entire major realm higher than Ye Yuan. He was not what the current Ye Yuan could handle at all.


    When Qin Tian saw the situation, he said disdainfully, "A mere late-stage Two-star evil spirit wants to deal with me? Do you think that I''m Qin Shao, that inept? Go to hell!"


    Finished talking, Qin Tian''s Grand Chant Sword Void carried powerful Sword Dao laws and charged towards Ye Yuan.


    Immediately, the entire space pervaded with powerful sword intent. The group of experts avoided it like the plague.


    "So strong! His realm is clearly being suppressed a lot and he''s actually still able to display such a powerful martial technique!"


    "Could it be that the strength of the outside world''s martial artists, they all are so powerful?"


    "Truly terrifying! This person is clearly so young, but his strength is sufficient to sweep across all sacred palaces'' palace lords!"


    ...


    The moment Qin Tian made his move, everyone was incredibly appalled.


    But right at this time, Gui Yun''s hands drew a bizarre rune. After that, a surge of terrifying ghost energy rose up from under his feet out of thin air.


    Gui Yun''s strength actually instantly broke through to grand completion Two-star!


    "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Ghost Energy Spiritual Possession! Nether Ghostclaw!"


    The moment Gui Yun attacked, it was two Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!


    Under Dustless''s teachings with close to a hundred years of cultivation, his strength could no longer be mentioned in the same breath long ago.


    He was already completely different from that evil spirit hiding in the Yin Wind Den!


    Boom!


    The ghost claw and Sword Dao laws collided together violently, shaking the entire cave until it was about to collapse.


    Qin Tian''s gaze turned intent. Clearly, he did not expect that this Two-star evil spirit actually still had such means!


    Two ghost runes adding together, he actually forcefully withstand a blow of his.


    "Heh, indeed have some skill! But �� how much time can this trick last?"


    Qin Tian laughed coldly, sword momentum rising again, directly clashing together with the Nether Ghostclaw.


    Qin Tian''s strength was truly daunting to the extreme. Even when suppressed at grand completion Heaven Glimpse, the power of his Grand Chant Sword Void was irresistible too. The Nether Ghostclaw actually showed signs of being unable to endure it.


    One had to know that when Gui Yun was at late-stage Two-star, he could rely on the Nether Ghostclaw to forcefully resist Huo Tianyang for several hundred moves and not be defeated.


    Now, Gui Yun had ghost energy possessing, his strength skyrocketing, the power of the Nether Ghostclaw would also soar greatly. He actually could not defeat the Qin Tian in the same rank as him!


    Even if his realm was the same, Qin Tian''s strength shook Huo Tianyang that fellow off more than a dozen streets.


    If he did not have his realm suppressed by Heavenly Dao, his strength would definitely be even more terrifying.


    The title of inner-court''s number one person was really not called in vain.


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned grim and knew that it could not carry on like this.


    He flashed, arriving behind Qin Tian. Raising his hand, it was a complete version Sundering Stars!


    Who knew that Qin Tian''s back seemed to have grown eyes. He just casually pointed and directly annihilated this complete version Sundering Stars.


    The powerful Sundering Stars actually could not withstand Qin Tian''s casual tap!


    "Heh, just your bit of strength, you actually still want to play ambushing! When I take care of this ghost, I''ll let you know what''s called despair!"


    Qin Tian who was in the midst of fierce fighting appeared to have plenty of room for maneuver, still having strength leftover to speak with Ye Yuan.


    This battle''s situation was rather bad!


    When Bai Chen saw this scene, his heart really burned with anxiety!


    His omnipotent master actually encountered such a powerful adversary!


    "Bai Xiu, what are you all still waiting for?! Could it be that you all are going to passively watch Master Ye Yuan get killed?" Bai Chen could not resist saying to Bai Xiu.


    Bai Xiu had a conflicted look too and said with difficultly, "But �� He �� He''s an intruder!"


    "So what if he is an intruder? You recall it yourself. How did Master Ye Yuan treat your White Night Sacred Palace! Without him, do you still have the chance to stand here and question him right now? Without him, even if you became the palace lord, can you withstand the Autumn Rain Sacred Palace''s assault? Without him, could you all escape from under the hands of the lava flying monsters and Giant Flame Stonemen?"


    Bai Chen''s words were like a machine gun, bombarding everyone''s heart.


    Bai Xiu fell silent, the expression on his face became even more conflicted.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan and Gui Yun fell into a bitter fight.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence was already insufficient to support him releasing multiple perfect versions of Sundering Stars. He could only move around and continuously harass Qin Tian so as to ease Gui Yun''s pressure.


    But his harassment also seemed to be trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.


    Bai Chen gritted his teeth and said, "If you all are not going, I''m going! I, Bai Chen, am not willing to be an ungrateful person!"


    Finished talking, he swung his long spear and charged straight for Qin Tian.


    Regarding Bai Chen''s attack, Qin Tian completely ignored it.


    Ye Yuan''s attack still posed a threat to him. But Bai Chen''s attacks did not pose any threat to him at all.


    Bai Chen''s strength could not even breach his protective divine essence!


    Bang!


    Bai Chen''s heavy spear had not entered the battle yet and was directly shocked away by the aftershocks, immediately knocked flying out and smashing heavily onto the rock wall.


    "Puhwark!"


    Bai Chen''s internal organs shook, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    But he did not give up. Gripping his long spear, another spear shot over again.


    Bang!


    Bai Chen was flicked away once more without any surprises.


    But the stubborn Bai Chen did not have the intention of giving up at all. He crawled up again and again, attempting to enter the battle time and again.


    "Let me, Palace Lord!"


    Mo Yun finally could not hold back. He held his long spear out and joined the battle too.


    It was just too bad that his strength was likewise unbelievably weak.


    "Damn it, don''t care anymore! I will screw you to death!"


    Bai Xiu could not resist swearing and charged straight for Qin Tian.


    He was a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. Although his strength was lacking to Qin Tian, restraining him was enough.


    With him joining, Gui Yun''s pressure dropped sharply.


    Regarding Bai Xiu, Qin Tian could not possibly ignore him. He must divide out a portion of his energy to deal with him.


    "I''m coming too!"


    "I''m coming too!"


    Seeing Bai Xiu join the battle, Bai Rong and another elder both charged over.


    Five great Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses plus a Gui Yun, six mighty powerhouses besieged Qin Tian!


    Gui Yun was the primary attacker, the others restrained. For a moment, they actually could not determine who was better.


    Qin Tian''s sword dealt with enemies everywhere, but did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest!


    However, Qin Tian also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so popular.


    Under the circumstances where they clearly knew that Ye Yuan was a trial-taker, the White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses would actually still help him deal with him.


    Carrying on like this is out of the question. I need to finish off that late-stage Heaven Glimpse first! Qin Tian thought in his heart.


    Suddenly, Qin Tian''s sword art changed, dealing a false move towards the Nether Ghostclaw, then stabbed toward Bai Xiu with momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears!


    "Careful, Deputy Palace Lord!"


    Everyone did not expect this sudden turn of events!


    Right at the critical moment, Bai Rong actually pushed away Bai Xiu. This sword of Qin Tian''s stabbed into his chest!

 1439 Devastation to Both Sides!

    "Bai Rong!"


    "Elder Bai Rong!"


    Bai Xiu and Bai Chen virtually cried out at the same time.


    Bai Xiu''s gaze even turned bloodshot from anger, his two eyes blood-red.


    However, Bai Xiu''s eyes were currently going lax. How terrifying was Qin Tian''s Sword Dao laws? After entering the body, it destroyed all of Bai Rong''s vitality very quickly.


    But at this time, the Nether Ghostclaw also fell toward Qin Tian. It was already too late for him to want to draw his sword.


    But Qin Tian did not panic in the face of danger. Left hand forming fingers as a sword, powerful Sword Dao laws directly tapped onto the Nether Ghostclaw.


    It was just that he was currently responding in a haste and not the Nether Ghostclaw''s match at all.


    But Qin Tian''s strength was too powerful. With this drawing the bow with the left and right, his imposing momentum was still equally matched with the Nether Ghostclaw!


    Not being able to kill Bai Xiu, Qin Tian was secretly rather regretful.


    After all, Bai Xiu was the person with the greatest strength apart from Gui Yun.


    But being able to finish off one could at least diminish the other party''s combat strength.


    But right at this moment, Qin Tian''s alarm bells sounded. A fierce killing intent erupted without any warning.


    Swift as a thought!


    All this happened in an instant. Qin Tian had both hands preoccupied and was unable to care about other things anymore at this time.


    This attack appeared too craftily. The timing of the opportunity was grasped too timely. It was simply a certain kill situation!


    The scent of death hit him head-on. Qin Tian was already unable to save himself and could only muster up the divine essence within his body crazily, protecting his whole body.


    "Chasing Moon!"


    The sharp Evil Extermination Sword was seemingly like a meteor, stabbing straight for Qin Tian''s stomach!


    The power of this sword was actually a magnitude stronger than Sundering Stars.


    From Ye Yuan mobilizing to stabbing onto Qin Tian''s body, it was only a twinkle, the movement swift to the extreme. Everyone did not have the time to react to it at all.


    Boom!


    This sword move made a showy display of ability. It was as if a sharp knife that could pierce myriad objects in the world.


    The Evil Extermination Sword passed through Qin Tian''s protective divine essence without any surprises, stabbing Qin Tian''s body.


    "Puhwark!"


    Qin Tian''s entire body was akin to being electrocuted, fresh blood spraying wildly from his mouth, his body flying out horizontally, smashing ruthlessly into the rock wall.


    "Gui Yun!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he shouted fiercely.


    Gui Yun understood tacitly. Deploying the Nether Ghostclaw, he smacked straight for the rock wall!


    Boom!


    The rock wall directly had a large pit smashed out. The life and death of the Qin Tian inside, it was unknown.


    "Go!"


    Ye Yuan bellowed and was about to bring everyone towards the depths of the Divine Ruins.


    But right at this time, Bai Xiu suddenly went berserk, his figure speeding toward that rock wall''s hole rapidly.


    "Damn intruder! I''ll kill you!" Bai Xiu roared as he flew speedily.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. Figure swaying, he attempted to intercept Bai Xiu from the side.


    "Bai Xiu, calm down!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Bai Xiu did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Looking at Ye Yuan with both eyes bloodshot, he said sharply, "You damn intruder, get lost for me!"


    Bai Xiu raised his hand and it was a palm smacking over toward Ye Yuan!


    But right at this time, a swift and fierce sword light rushed out of the rock wall without any warning signs.


    But Gui Yun deployed the Nether Ghostclaw and intercepted this sword light.


    Boom!


    Bang!


    At virtually the same time, Bai Xiu''s palm landed on Ye Yuan''s body, while the Nether Ghostclaw forcefully resisted this sword light.


    Ye Yuan and Gui Yun simultaneously flew backward in two very different directions!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan''s internal organs quivered, directly spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    While Gui Yun''s body became much fainter. The Nether Ghostclaw could not sustain either, vanishing.


    Whoosh!


    Gui Yun turned into a cloud of green smoke and flew into Ye Yuan''s body, escaping into the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan and Gui Yun were seriously injured at the same time!


    Bai Xiu''s entire body trembled, only then, abruptly startling awake.


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would already be a dead soul under Qin Tian''s sword now.


    That sword of Ye Yuan''s only severely wounded Qin Tian and did not really cause irreversible injuries to him. He still had the strength to fight back.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan made them leave right away.


    "Bai Xiu, you''re crazy! What the hell are you doing?!"


    When Bai Chen saw this scene, he roared at Bai Xiu.


    Bai Xiu was a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. How terrifying was the power of this palm?


    If not for Bai Xiu pulling back the majority of the force at the last moment, Ye Yuan might even be killed by him with one palm.


    "Master Ye Yuan, are �� are you alright?"


    Bai Chen''s voice was almost in tears.


    Ye Yuan clutched his chest and said with difficulty, "Leave �� Quickly leave!"


    Mo Yun gritted his teeth and barked at Bai Xiu, "Still in a daze for what?!"


    Bai Xiu shook, bringing along Bai Rong''s corpse, and headed over towards the Divine Ruins'' depths.


    Mo Yun also brought along the heavily injured Ye Yuan and sprinted wildly all the way.


    Fortunately, they did not encounter any dangers along the way. The group of people ran wildly, no idea how long they ran either.


    Suddenly, everyone felt a blur, dashing out of a cave.


    "So �� So many doors, where should we go?" Bai Chen said with a panicky face.


    "If not, let''s turn back!" Someone suggested.


    "No �� No way!" Ye Yuan forcefully endured his churning vital energy and blood and said.


    On the way, Ye Yuan swallowed healing medicinal pills. His injuries were already brought under control.


    But his internal organs were still in upheaval, It was as if they had shifted positions. Within a short time, he was unable to take action anymore.


    Ye Yuan patted Mo Yun''s shoulder, signaling him to put him down.


    "We''ve already entered an array formation. The original caves have already been completely displaced. These eight doors, only one is a life door. The others are �� certain death!" Ye Yuan said.


    Everyone''s faces changed!


    One out of eight!


    This �� The chance of death was too great.


    "This �� What to do? Aren''t we at death''s door right now?"


    "Previously, panicking and not choosing the path, we entered here bafflingly!"


    "It''s all Bai Xiu''s fault! If not for him, we wouldn''t be in such a difficult position either!"


    "This guy simply can''t distinguish right from wrong! How can Bai Rong''s death be blamed on Grand Elder? From start to end, he never opened his mouth to ask us for help before!"


    ...


    For a moment, everyone tried to get a word in, all pointing the spearhead at Bai Xiu.


    Bai Xiu''s expression flickered incessantly but did not refute. Instead, he was full of guilt.


    Thud!


    Bai Xiu flushed red and directly knelt down towards Ye Yuan.


    "Grand Elder, it was all Bai Xiu being foolish, causing you and Lord Grand Elder to be heavily injured! I �� I''ll �� apologize for the sin with death!"


    Bai Xiu gritted his teeth. Raising his hand, he smacked down towards the top of his head.


    "Stop!"


    Ye Yuan had sharp eyes and agile hands, grabbing hold of his wrist.


    "Cough, cough, cough �� Pffft!"


    This affected his injuries, Ye Yuan spouted out a mouthful of blood again.


    Bai Xiu''s expression changed greatly, hurriedly supporting Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said with sullen anger, "You fool! Right now, among us, you''re the strongest one! If you die, what are they going to do?"


    Bai Xiu choked up, the thought of suicide immediately dissipating.


    Seeing the situation, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Qin Tian infiltrating the Sky Foothill World was aiming for me. Bai Rong''s death was indeed caused by me. You and Bai Rong were on very close terms, I know that his death was a great blow to you. If it were me, I''ll probably be even more enraged than you. This matter �� wasn''t your fault!"

 1440 Partners in Crime

    Bang!


    Qin Tian''s body sprang out of the rock wall with a gloomy face.


    "Just how long has it been? That guy''s sword art improved again! If not for me wearing the Heavenly Feather Flexible Armor, my life would have met its end here!" Qin Tian said and gnashed his teeth.


    That Chasing Moon move of Ye Yuan''s was simply dangerous to the extreme.


    If not for his realm being far more powerful than Ye Yuan''s, if not for him wearing the profound divine artifact, Heavenly Feather Flexible Armor, then he would be a corpse right now!


    Qin Tian''s understanding of Ye Yuan had still remained at Sundering Stars.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao laws had already broken through to Sword Dao second-layered heaven and created a new move!


    Chasing Moon this move was too powerful!


    Even if Qin Tian wore the Heavenly Feather Flexible Armor, his internal organs suffered a tremendous shock too, only recovering after a long time.


    Recalling that scene previously, Qin Tian''s scalp was still tingling until now.


    But this sword of Ye Yuan''s was too heavy. His current injuries were rather heavy, his strength greatly reduced.


    "I absolutely can''t let Ye Yuan live on anymore! His growth speed is too fast! Just how long has it been, and he already has the strength to threaten me! Give him another few decades time, most likely, even I won''t be a match anymore too!"


    Qin Tian became ruthless and was going to hunt down in the direction Ye Yuan and the rest escaped in.


    But right at this time, a figure swayed, blocking his way.


    Qin Tian''s expression changed. The one who blocked his path was none other than precisely Duan Fei!


    The current Duan Fei''s breathing was chaotic, his injuries very heavy. Half of his face was virtually burned to a crisp, looking incomparably hideous.


    "I didn''t expect that there was really an intruder who sneaked in and even disguised as the Life End Palace Lord! Punk, prepare to die!"


    Previously, Qin Tian concealed his aura and even hoodwinked Duan Fei.


    Now, Qin Tian revealed his true colors. Duan Fei did not talk crap with him at all, directly taking action.


    Qin Tian''s injuries had yet to recover. At this time, he could only forcefully rouse his spirits and accept the challenge.


    Fortunately, Duan Fei''s injuries were much heavier than his. Currently, it was already pretty good for him to be able to unleash 20% of his strength.


    Upon exchanging blows, Duan Fei discovered something off.


    This Qin Tian''s strength was more powerful than he imagined!


    If not for cultivation realm suppression, he might even have the strength to contend with him.


    Although Duan Fei occupied the absolute advantage, he actually could not bring him down after a long battle.


    After a fierce battle, the two people''s injuries worsened significantly again. Qin Tian was burning with anxiety.


    He would not let himself succumb here before killing Ye Yuan.


    "Stop! Don''t fight anymore!" Qin Tian said solemnly.


    "Heh, you say don''t fight and we stop? The Sky Foothill World kills intruders without mercy. You dared to sneak into the Divine Ruins, could it be that you still wish to get out?"


    Duan Fei was an extremely prideful person too. Not taking down Qin Tian after a long battle, how could he be willing to give up?


    "I came in order to kill Ye Yuan and don''t have any interest in your Sky Foothill World at all! He is our common enemy! If we both sustain injuries, do you think he''ll laugh himself awake when dreaming or not?" Qin Tian said.


    Duan Fei''s face fell. As expected, he pulled back and stopped fighting.


    "What do you mean?" Duan Fei said in a solemn voice.


    Qin Tian smiled coldly and said, "Ye Yuan is my junior apprentice brother. What do you think I mean?"


    Duan Fei''s expression changed and said, "Impossible! Azurepeak had once used the Tianlu Shrine to check his blood before. He''s the purest Sky Foothill people, so how can he possibly be your junior apprentice brother?"


    Qin Tian sneered and said, "Heh, the intel about his identity was disclosed by me. When I heard this result, I was very surprised too! But this junior apprentice brother of mine can''t be measured with common sense. There must be a precious treasure that we don''t know on him! As long as we kill him, the precious treasure on him will be ours!"


    Duan Fei''s expression turned dark and he said, "On what basis should this old man believe you?"


    Qin Tian said coolly, "Actually, you already believe it! How can such a young and powerful Deity Realm powerhouse possibly appear in your Sky Foothill World? Grotto Profound Realm killing Heavenly Dao Realm, do you feel that it''s possible?"


    Duan Fei fell silent. What Qin Tian said was right.


    Regardless of looking from which angle, Ye Yuan did not seem like a Sky Foothill World''s person!


    "Alright, I''ll cooperate with you! But the precious treasure on him belongs to me!" Duan Fei said solemnly.


    Qin Tian shot him a glance and said with a cold smile, "You and I are clever men, don''t play this kind of sham! If Ye Yuan really has some precious treasure on him, none of us will let it go! At that time, each of us relies on our own abilities! Right now, the urgent matter on hand is to recover strength. That brat''s strength isn''t ordinary. Don''t look down on him because his realm is low!"


    Duan Fei''s expression became stern and he nodded his head.


    ...


    "It was my miscalculation. I didn''t expect that this guy even wore a profound divine artifact battle armor on him. I should have thought of it long ago!" Ye Yuan''s words revealed remorse and anger.


    Bai Chen urged, "Master, you''re already very amazing! You nearly killed a half-step Origin Deity powerhouse! I don''t even dare to think about it!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Deity Realm powerhouses are people too, and people have weaknesses! Nobody stipulated that Grotto Profound martial artists can''t be killed. In a true life and death fight, what''s competed is never the cultivation realm. Bai Xiu, I assure you, Bai Rong''s grudge, I''ll definitely help you avenge it!"


    Bai Xiu''s entire body trembled. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Grand Elder, I �� I was wrong! You''re currently heavily injured, don''t risk your life anymore. If something were to really happen to you, Bai Xiu would really find it hard to absolve my sins even if a hundred deaths!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since you all know my identity, I can''t be your grand elder anymore!"


    Everyone was just about to speak, but Ye Yuan stopped it with a hand gesture and said, "My goal of coming to the Sky Foothill World is for the sake of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone. As long as I find Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones in this place, I''ll leave. Now, we already don''t have a way out and can only charge inside. I''ll do my best to help you all seize precious treasures and let you guys have the strength to protect yourselves after going out. The rest, don''t need to say anymore."


    Unknowingly, everyone was already accustomed to relying on Ye Yuan.


    Now that he said he wanted to leave, everyone actually had a reluctant feeling.


    They all, these Sky Foothill people, actually had such sentiments towards an intruder. It was simply treasonous and heresy.


    But, they all felt very natural at this time, without the slightest resistance.


    This intruder protected them in all aspects, even rescuing Bai Xiu without balking at heavy injuries.


    But what about the Duan Fei as the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s divine official?


    He wanted to doom everyone to death at all costs!


    The public sentiment for or against, it was clear at a glance.


    "But, these eight doors in front, which should we take?" Bai Chen could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said coolly, "Just follow me."


    Ye Yuan walked toward a door very casually and walked straight inside.


    Everyone exchanged glances and quickly followed after.


    This was a gloomy and dark passage, causing the inability to see one''s hand in front of you.


    Everyone just kept on walking and walking like that. No idea how long had passed either, everyone felt a blur before their eyes. A wave of terrifying temperature hit from head-on.


    This was an enormous dome. Under the feet was endless lava!


    In the center of the dome, a lone island suspended above the magma.


    And on the island, something bloomed with multi-colored brilliances!


    "That �� That is ��" Ye Yuan looked at that fruit with a dumbfounded look, his eyes full of incredulity.

 1441 Breaking Through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!

    There was a fruit-like object, suspending above the island quietly, giving off a holy aura.


    "That �� is the aura of Dao! It''s the aura of Heavenly Dao! What is that?"


    "I feel it too! Such a powerful Heavenly Dao aura! I feel like I''ve returned to my mother''s womb!"


    "How magical! Why do I feel like �� Heavenly Dao is right in front of me?"


    ...


    When everyone saw that fruit, each and every one of them revealed incomparably shocked expressions.


    They could sense the aura of Heavenly Dao, but they did not know there was the existence of Dao Fruit, this sort of thing!


    But Ye Yuan knew!


    "That is a Dao Fruit! Sky Foothill Celestial Deity''s Dao Fruit! I didn''t expect that it was actually really found by me!" Ye Yuan said rather emotionally.


    "Dao Fruit? What is that?" Bai Chen said perplexedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Swallow it and you can become the Sky Foothill World''s master, become a paramount existence! You can even walk out of this small world and enter the true major world!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone all sucked in a cold breath, being stunned by Ye Yuan''s words.


    Each and every one of them revealed unbelievably scorching gazes, already somewhat unable to hold it anymore.


    "If you all want to seek death, I won''t stop you all either!" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    How could he not know the thoughts of these people? Whoever heard of this thing would probably be moved too.


    "Grand Elder, what �� what is it?" asked a Grotto Profound martial artist.


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Such a precious treasure, do you feel that it would be obtained so easily? If you don''t believe me, you can go and give it a try. If you can have a little bit of bone residue left, I''ll pluck my head off for you to kick as a ball."


    That person''s head shrunk back, the heated light in his eyes instantly fading away.


    Not just him, Ye Yuan''s words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing everyone''s flames.


    "Ye Yuan, Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones! On that lone island is full of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone!" Dustless said rather agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, immediately incomparably excited.


    Scattered on that lone island were all milky-white stones. They were precisely Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones!


    To him, this Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone was much more valuable than the Sky Foothill Dao Fruit.


    "Grand Elder, then �� what should we do now? It can''t be that we just look on like this, right?"


    Ye Yuan said, "In my current state, I can''t make it through at all! This side is still considered safe. Better wait for me to recover strength first!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged on the spot and started refining the medicinal pills'' medicinal strength.


    Time slowly trickled by, the others became nervous and restless.


    The allure of the Dao Fruit was seriously too great. Even with Ye Yuan''s sincere advice, they could not quite hold back anymore too.


    "Each and every one of you, stay in your place for me! If anyone dares to act rashly without careful thought, don''t blame me for falling out and showing no mercy!" Bai Xiu lowered his voice and warned everyone.


    Regarding his actions, Bai Xiu was still constantly remembering it in his heart until now.


    Hence, Ye Yuan''s words, he treated it as an imperial decree to obey now.


    Furthermore, facts proved that Ye Yuan''s perception of danger was absolutely not what the rest could compare to.


    If he said there was danger, then there was definitely danger!


    Suddenly, the essence energy within this dome started closing in on Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    Ye Yuan opened his two eyes wide, fishing out quite a few bottles of medicinal pills, and pouring all of it into his mouth in one go.


    Apart from this, the Weeping Spirit Fruit left behind from breaking through the last time, Ye Yuan also swallowed all of it in one go.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded with shock.


    "Eating �� Eating medicinal pills like this, wouldn''t one explode and die?"


    "Too scary! Just what kind of cultivation method is Grand Elder cultivating? This is also too freakish, right?"


    "Grand Elder actually broke through just like this! This cultivation speed �� is simply unparalleled! Could it be that the outside world''s martial artists all cultivate so quickly?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s injuries had just healed when suddenly, his mind became more agile as luck hit, finally grasping that trace of opportunity to break through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!


    Of course, this was also his thick accumulations erupting, water flowing when the channel was formed!


    After entering the Sky Foothill World, Ye Yuan had experienced several major fights and also experienced the death cultivation. He was just lacking an opportunity.


    The brutal fight with Qin Tian previously, Ye Yuan finally grasped that trace of opportunity and successfully broke through.


    But this Sky Foothill World''s spiritual energy was too thin; insufficient to support him breaking through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. Hence, he swallowed all of the divine pills that could supplement divine essence to make up for the inadequacy.


    The divine essence required for the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s breakthrough was not a tiny bit.


    Not enough!


    Still not enough!


    The divine essence contained in these divine pills was not enough for him to break through the bottleneck at all and reach initial-stage Heaven Glimpse!


    Ye Yuan''s divine sea was still expanded crazily, but the divine essence could not keep up.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan leaped and jumped straight into the huge pit!


    Below was endless magma!


    This scene was too suddenly, everyone all did not react and Ye Yuan jumped down already.


    "Master!"


    "Grand Elder!"


    ...


    Everyone turned pale with fright, cries of exclamations sounded out everywhere, hurriedly craning their necks to look.


    With this look, everyone could not help being dumbfounded with shock.


    Ye Yuan actually sat cross-legged on an enormous stone stele. That stone stele emitted an archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life which was actually even stronger than the Dao Fruit!


    Below, with Ye Yuan as the center, it formed an extremely violent spiritual energy vortex.


    To talk about spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in the magma was far more abundant than upstairs. Otherwise, it also would not be able to inoculate Giant Flame Stoneman, this kind of powerful creature.


    Hence, Ye Yuan had a flash of inspiration and simply just absorbed the spiritual energy in the magma!


    But the temperature in this magma was too high, enough to burn his whole person into nothing.


    Hence, he took out the World Suppressing Stele and absorbed spiritual energy with the World Suppressing Stele as the medium.


    Sitting cross-legged on the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan could not feel the burning hot magma at all.


    "What kind of existence is that stone stele, to actually be able to withstand the magma''s temperature! The Divine Ruins'' magma is what even grand completion Origin Deity powerhouses don''t dare to enter!"


    "Grand Elder actually wants to absorb the spiritual energy in the magma to break through. This �� Isn''t this courting death?"


    "Yeah! The spiritual energy in the magma is incomparably violent. Absorbing into the body will burn the meridians!"


    ...


    However, Ye Yuan did not care at all!


    He absorbed the spiritual energy in the magma greedily, then revolved the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s second level cultivation method, converting it into divine essence, gathering it into the divine sea.


    The entire process was extremely smooth.


    The originally incomparably violent magma spiritual energy immediately became unbelievably well-behaved under the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s refinement.


    The burning power in the spiritual energy was also instantly refined away.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan''s divine sea finally stopped expanding. The divine essence in the divine sea was already completely filled too.


    However, the divine essence in Ye Yuan''s divine sea became more and more viscous!


    It was precisely because of so that the spiritual energy required for his breakthrough was several times, even several dozen times of other people!


    "This �� is Grand Elder really a human? He �� He actually really refined the spiritual energy in the magma!"


    "My God, he really broke through to the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse? Why does the feeling he gives me �� feel like a primal savage beast?"


    "Simply inconceivable! Grand Elder really can''t be judged with common sense!"

 1442 Do You Think Youll Be Fine If You Dont Move?

    "Wonder what it will look like when divine essence is compressed to the limits! The Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s continuation is really worth looking forward to!"


    Feeling the boundless divine essence undulations within his body, Ye Yuan felt like every pore in his whole body opened up.


    Although this path of cultivation method self-creation was arduous, it was clearly worth it.


    Currently, although he had just broken through to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse, the thickness of divine essence already did not lose to peak initial-stage Heaven Glimpse martial artists.


    Coupled with the powerful Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art, it practically took no effort for Ye Yuan to one-shot middle-stage Heaven Glimpse martial artists now.


    Even late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses, he had the strength battle it out too!


    Ye Yuan leaped, bringing along the World Suppressing Stele, and flew back to the platform.


    "Master, you''re really too incredible! Even breaking through was also so eclectic!" Bai Chen went up to greet and exclaimed.


    "Yeah, Grand Elder. The cultivation method that you cultivate is actually so overbearing that you can even tame the spiritual energy in the magma too!" Bai Xiu also exclaimed in surprise.


    If it were even, even if he could survive in the magma, the violent spiritual energy would also burn his meridians into a crisp.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is also something that couldn''t be helped. The Sky Foothill World''s spiritual energy is too thin. Fortunately, it''s inside the Divine Ruins. If it was in the outside world, it might cause a massive commotion."


    If Ye Yuan cultivated at the outside world, most likely, the spiritual energy within a circumference of 10 thousand miles would be absorbed clean by him!


    Such a large commotion, it was hard to ensure that it would not draw the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s attention.


    Suddenly, many holes appeared on this giant ring platform!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One figure after another was transported out of the holes in various ways.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s expression could not help turning grim, instinctively having a foreboding premonition.


    "Dao Fruit! It''s actually the Dao Fruit! Hahaha �� I obtained it without any effort at all! Really obtained without any trouble at all!"


    When Qin Tian saw the Dao Fruit suspended on the lone island, he was in a state of extremely ecstasy.


    He also did not expect to actually find the Dao Fruit here!


    That was a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit!


    As long as he obtained the Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, he could reach Celestial Deity Realm within a very short time!


    At that time, however vast the world, what place could he still not go?


    Regarding the Divine Lord Realm, Qin Tian was still somewhat confident. But regarding Celestial Deity Realm, he never thought of it before.


    Hard!


    Too hard!


    But now, this enormous cake was placed in front of him, how could he not be agitated?


    Upon laying eyes on the Dao Fruit for the first time, he swore to obtain it at all costs!


    Suddenly, he sensed something and looked in Ye Yuan''s direction, his pupils involuntarily constricting and he drew a cold breath.


    Just how long had it been, Ye Yuan actually broke through to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm!


    This was not some good news!


    When Ye Yuan was half-step Heaven Glimpse, he already almost killed him.


    Becoming a genuine Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse now, his strength improved by God knows how many times.


    Unleashing that sword one more time, his Heavenly Feather Flexible Armor would not work anymore too!


    "Dao Fruit? What is that thing?" Duan Fei said.


    He could tell from Qin Tian''s expression that this thing was definitely extraordinary.


    "Good stuff! Heh heh, with this Dao Fruit, we can discuss things now! The precious treasures on Ye Yuan''s body and this Dao Fruit, you pick one!" Qin Tian said coolly.


    He did not conceal it either, briefly introducing this Dao Fruit''s effect, making Duan Fei''s countenance change visibly.


    Controlling Heavenly Dao, becoming the sovereign of a world!


    Such a thing, how could he not be moved?


    "This Dao Fruit, I''m taking it!" Duan Fei forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart and said.


    As long as he swallowed the Dao Fruit, he would control the Sky Foothill World.


    At that time, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s palace lord would also have to grovel and lick under his feet!


    Thinking about it made people excited!


    "Alright, then it''s settled! But because of this, we''d better settle the problem first!" Qin Tian said coolly.


    Regarding Duan Fei''s decision, Qin Tian did not have much objections.


    He was indeed very moved by the Dao Fruit. But he had a feeling that the precious treasures on Ye Yuan were probably even more incredible that the Dao Fruit!


    The talent that Ye Yuan displayed was too terrifying. If say Ye Yuan did not have a heaven-defying lucky chance, that was impossible.


    Wu Meng Academy''s resources were utterly insufficient to nurture such a freak.


    Moreover, how could Qin Tian possibly give away the Dao Fruit on a silver platter?


    Finishing off Ye Yuan, Qin Tian''s next target would be Duan Fei!


    "Azurepeak, Zuo Yun, Huo Tianyang, the few of you attack together! The White Night Sacred Palace''s people, don''t spare a single one!" Duan Fei said solemnly.


    Hearing Duan Fei''s orders, Azurepeak''s face revealed a complicated look.


    Those who charged out of the Giant Flame Stonemen there were all powerful people.


    Right now, the various major sacred palaces, the one that was the most intact was the White Night Sacred Palace.


    "Kill!" Duan Fei bellowed. A group of people encircled over towards the White Night Sacred Palace from both sides.


    This was a ring-shaped platform. Ahead was endless magma. The White Night Sacred Palace''s people already had no way to escape!


    "You all listen well to me! In a while, no matter what happens, all don''t anyhow take action! Stay on the spot and don''t move! I''ll do my best to protect you all!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Everyone''s expression turned austere and they nodded one after another.


    They also discerned that Duan Fei and Qin Tian joining hands, and Huo Tianyang also glaring like a ravening tiger by the side, they already had no way out.


    Now, there was only listening to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell. Raising his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm!


    However, his target was not Duan Fei they all, but �� the direction of the Dao Fruit!


    A massive azure dragon phantom flew straight for the Dao Fruit.


    "Ye Yuan, you dare!"


    When Qin Tian and Duan Fei saw this scene, they virtually cried out in shock in unison.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was going for broke here.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. This bunch of fools really thought that the Dao Fruit was so easy to obtain?


    Boom!


    When the azure dragon phantom reached the lone island, it seemingly ran into a giant barrier, shaking until the entire dome started quaking violently.


    Qin Tian and Duan Fei both heaved a sigh in relief, rejoicing that the Dao Fruit was okay.


    However, very soon, the expressions on their faces changed.


    Rays of faint-yellow light floated up, filling the entire dome very quickly.


    Boom!


    A pale-yellow light ball suddenly condensed and formed, bombarding right onto a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm elder.


    "ARGH!!"


    That elder let out a shrill scream and was directly blown flying.


    After that, his entire person turned into a fireball and started burning.


    This scene made everyone break out in cold sweat.


    "All stand still and don''t move! This damn guy set off the grand array! Right now, all of us have fallen into the grand array!" Duan Fei gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    This grand array was too formidable. A Heaven Glimpse Realm elder only withstood for several breaths of time and turned into a cloud of flying ash.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene and said with a cold smile, "Do you think you''ll be fine if you don''t move?"


    His voice had yet to fade when another light ball suddenly condensed and formed, roaring toward another Heaven Glimpse Realm elder once again!

 1443 Well Within Reach!

    The result did not give the least bit of surprise. That elder was similarly burned to a crisp!


    Swish!


    Another fireball condensed and formed. It was just that the target this time was a Grotto Profound martial artist beside Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this scene, Qin Tian''s face revealed a look of wild elation.


    Although this fireball was not targeting Ye Yuan, to be able to make their side suffer heavy casualties, he was happy too.


    Weren''t you doing unnecessary stuff?


    Screwed your own people, right?!


    Seeing the fireball draw near, that Grotto Profound martial artist was instantly drenched in sweat.


    He was just about to take off and run when a voice sounded out beside his ear.


    "Don''t resist, I''ll bring you to a safe place."


    This voice was simply like a heavenly melody, incomparably wonderful.


    He only felt a blur before his eyes and a figure already pulled him along and escaped into the yellow light.


    This action of Ye Yuan, he seemingly stepped on a land mine, triggering more and more fireballs to follow on their tails.


    "Hahaha, you wouldn''t die if you didn''t look for trouble! Ye Yuan, let me see how you escape!" Qin Tian laughed wildly as he said with excitement.


    But Ye Yuan paid no attention to it, bringing that person and teleporting, and actually scurried straight into that fireball!


    When that Grotto Profound martial artist saw the fireball brush past his cheek, all the hair on his body stood on its end. He only felt his crotch become wet. He was actually scared until he peed.


    At this time, everyone was watching Ye Yuan''s action.


    The miraculous thing was that when he shuttled back and forth between the fireballs, not a single fireball actually touched him!


    Qin Tian''s smile became stiffer and stiffer, finally freezing on his face.


    Ye Yuan moved like the wind, changing no idea how many positions.


    Suddenly, that Grotto Profound martial artist only felt a blur before his eyes. All of the fireballs vanished without a trace!


    "Stay here and don''t move! Otherwise, an immortal can''t save you either!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    "O-Oh!" That Grotto Profound martial artist nodded his head mechanically, only then, coming to a realization.


    Just now, Ye Yuan brought him like dancing on the edge of a knife. That taste was really awesome.


    "Four steps away, add three steps ��"


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, Dustless was currently swiftly explaining to him the footwork.


    This grand array was incomparably profound. It was likely personally arranged by Celestial Deity Sky Foothill. With Ye Yuan''s current realm, it was naturally impossible to crack it.


    But, he still had Dustless, this senior with vast experiences, along with him.


    The moment this grand array activated he recognized this array formation.


    This array formation was called the Flame Wandering Universe Grand Array of the Eight Desolates. It was a Five-star Divine Dao grand array, and its power was boundless.


    But the grand array in front of him was clearly less than one-ten-thousandth of its peak.


    Otherwise, these people in front would long have died out.


    The instant when Ye Yuan saw the rest, he knew what was going to happen.


    This was probably a plot set up by Celestial Deity Sky Foothill, wanting to replenish the continuously weakening Dao Fruit with the fresh blood of Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Hence, that was why everyone would be transported here.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan returned to his original position, grabbing Bai Chen and directly flying away.


    He did the same, sending all of the White Night Sacred Palace''s people to a safe place.


    Qin Tian and Duan Fei''s expressions were ugly to the extreme. This grand array was so powerful, but only Ye Yuan alone could come and go freely. This was not good news!


    Duan Fei looked towards Qin Tian and said coldly, "Still don''t think of a way, we''d all have to die here! Aren''t you all outsiders very powerful? Why are you so useless?"


    Qin Tian was livid with rage and said in a deep voice, "I told you long ago, this brat has precious treasures on him! This array formation''s rank is extremely high. If its power wasn''t significantly diminished, we''d have long died out!"


    Duan Fei snorted coldly and said, "This doesn''t change the fact that you''re useless too!"


    Qin Tian said angrily, "If you have any use, rush the formation for me to see!"


    The two people were currently arguing when two fireballs flew over towards them.


    The two people''s expressions changed, attacking brazenly at the same time!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Those two fireballs were actually directly annihilated!


    However, their faces did not have the slightest expression of joy. Because this kind of attack consumed too much divine essence.


    They could block one, two, but once the grand array activated, it would not stop. How many could they block?


    "Heh, strength is all pretty good! After I retrieve the Dao Fruit, I''ll come and settle scores with you guys again!" Ye Yuan looked at this scene and said with a cold laugh.


    Finished talking, his figure moved, and actually moved in the direction of the Dao Fruit.


    Qin Tian''s entire body trembled, his gaze full of unwillingness.


    Watching Ye Yuan draw closer to the Dao Fruit step by step, Qin Tian could not endure it anymore, his entire body''s aura skyrocketing.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, looking over in Qin Tian''s direction in surprise.


    "Ye Yuan, you forced me! Today, I''ll definitely kill you! Want to obtain the Dao Fruit? Dream on!"


    Qin Tian shouted fiercely. His hand had an additional ice cube-like object.


    A powerful spiritual energy undulation instantly swept across the entire dome.


    "It''s Ten Thousand Year Mystic Crystal! This small piece of Ten Thousand Year Mystic Crystal is sufficient for him to break through to the Origin Deity Realm! This guy actually still had such a thing in his hands!" Dustless said in surprise.


    Boom!


    Qin Tian''s aura released fully. An overwhelming pressure instantly enveloped the entire place.


    He was going to break through to the Origin Deity Realm!


    "I''ve been suppressing my realm all along in order to comprehend Sword Dao! Today, for your sake, I''m going to break through to the Origin Deity Realm! You can be proud of this!"


    Qin Tian laughed ominously, swallowing the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Crystal in one go.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. The speed of his feet accelerated, speeding over towards the Dao Fruit.


    Qin Tian''s aura was in the midst of rising crazily. Finally, he made his move and stepped right into the grand array.


    Whoosh!


    A fireball shot straight for Qin Tian.


    Qin Tian did not even look, a sword directly flying out.


    Boom!


    That fireball was directly annihilated.


    With the support of the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Crystal, Qin Tian did not care about the consumption of divine essence within his body at all.


    Actually, with Qin Tian''s talent, he could have broken through to the Origin Deity Realm long ago.


    These few years, he had been suppressing and not breaking through all along in order to comprehend Sword Dao in the Sword Tomb.


    As the saying went, thick accumulations burst forth. Him breaking through to the Origin Deity Realm now was virtually something that happened without extra effort.


    Breaking through this sort of thing was all too easy for a genius like Qin Tian.


    Duan Fei had a visible change in countenance watching by the side. He finally knew the disparity between him and Qin Tian, this kind of trial-takers.


    Back then, he spent a full 50 thousand year''s time in order to break through to the Origin Deity Realm!


    But he broke through so casually.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Qin Tian drew his sword like the wind, obliterating all of the fireballs that the grand array condensed.


    Ye Yuan''s footwork was walking in a roundabout manner.


    While Qin Tian walked straight ahead in the direction of the Dao Fruit!


    Very soon, Qin Tian rushed in front of Ye Yuan instead.


    When Duan Fei saw the two people snatching the Dao Fruit, he finally could not hold back any longer.


    "Damn it! Risk it all!"


    Duan Fei gritted his teeth, figure flying out hastily, also rushing over toward the Dao Fruit.


    Three figures broke through the grand array''s layers of blockade, all wanting to be the first to obtain the Dao Fruit.


    However, along with them getting closer and closer to the Dao Fruit, the fireballs around them also became more and more, the power increasingly horrifying.


    Qin Tian''s powerful strength was displayed in its entirety without a doubt at this moment.


    His aura was still rising non-stop and already infinitely approached Origin Deity Realm.


    Qin Tian had a look of joy. The Dao Fruit was already well within reach!

 1444 Far Away at the End of the Horizon!

    "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you''re finally still going to die in my hands! The Dao Fruit is mine, Qin Tian''s!"


    Looking as if he was about to obtain the Dao Fruit, Qin Tian became incomparably excited.


    However, the fireballs around him became more and more, also making it difficult for him to stride forward.


    The Ten Thousand Year Mystic Crystal''s spiritual energy was indeed abnormally powerful. Qin Tian''s aura was still in the midst of rising crazily.


    "Argh!"


    Qin Tian shouted loudly, his aura rising to the peak all at once!


    The pressure that belonged to Origin Deity powerhouses instantly spread out.


    Qin Tian''s gaze turned sharp, the long sword in his hand akin to a snake hissing, shooting over towards the surrounding fireballs like lightning.


    "Puhwark!"


    Even if he broke through to Origin Deity Realm, these powerful fireballs still injured Qin Tian''s internal organs.


    Qin Tian forcefully suppressed the injuries and continued advancing.


    The fireballs became more and more concentrated, virtually drowning Qin Tian''s entire person.


    But the Qin Tian after breaking through was too powerful. Although he advanced slowly, it was very steady!


    However, along with the passage of time, Qin Tian''s injuries also became heavier and heavier.


    While on the other side, Duan Fei''s speed clearly slowed down immensely. He already almost could not block the fireballs'' offensive anymore.


    "Damn it! This grand array is too powerful! The farther in front, the more terrifying the power of the fireballs!" Duan Fei gritted his teeth and said.


    "Puhwark!"


    Qin Tian spewed blood along the way as he walked, finally arriving in front of the Dao Fruit!


    The sacred aura of Heavenly Dao hit him head-on, making Qin Tian virtually about to rise to heaven.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Qin Tian drew his sword like the wind, cutting down several fireballs in the proximity, left hand darting towards the Dao Fruit like lightning.


    Right in front of his hands!


    Qin Tian''s heart was almost leaping to his throat!


    This was a Dao Fruit!


    As long as he swallowed it, the day he broke through to Celestial Deity Realm was right around the corner!


    In that case, he would be a region''s powerhouse in the Heavenspan World too.


    When Wu Meng City Lord saw him, he would also have to respectfully call him ''Your Excellency''!


    In the Heavenspan World, Dao Fruits were too scared, too precious.


    Whoever saw them would inevitably be moved too.


    "Now, you''re mine!" Qin Tian spouted blood but had a blissful smile on his face.


    Swoosh!


    Right at this moment, Qin Tian only felt a blur before his eyes. An afterimage streaked past in front of him.


    The Dao Fruit was gone!


    In this instant, Qin Tian fell straight from heaven to hell.


    The Dao Fruit that was clearly well within reach was actually snatched by someone!


    Near at hand a moment ago, but far away at the end of the horizon a moment later!


    That afterimage just now was unimaginably fast. Even Qin Tian did not catch his trajectory.


    In addition, he appeared too suddenly. Qin Tian could not react at all.


    "Such fast speed! What happened just now?"


    "Don''t know! My eyes have always been staring at Grand Elder. Then, he suddenly disappeared!"


    "Grand Elder snatched the Dao Fruit? Where �� Where is he?"


    "Hahaha, so close! I already lost all hope just now, I even thought that we''re all dead for sure!"


    ...


    Confirming that Qin Tian did not obtain the Dao Fruit, the people on the White Night Sacred Palace''s side were all wreathed in smiles.


    Just now, their hearts had leaped to their throats and even thought that the Dao Fruit would definitely land in Qin Tian''s hands.


    He did not expect that the situation changed drastically, and it was snatched away by Grand Elder.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The rock wall above the dome suddenly experienced an intense explosion sound.


    "Chasing Moon!"


    Ye Yuan''s inconceivably quick sword extinguished the fireballs that tailed behind him.


    Following that, Ye Yuan revealed his figure.


    His hand held a fruit. It was precisely the Dao Fruit!


    "Ye Yuan, I''ll kill you! The two of us cannot live under the same sky!"


    As Qin Tian dealt with the fireballs, he roared at Ye Yuan crazily.


    A duck that came to his hands flew away, Qin Tian''s fury at this time could be imagined.


    He did not know why Ye Yuan would be quick to that degree just now.


    He was clearly still very far from the Dao Fruit, but he snatched away the Dao Fruit like teleporting.


    This snatching food from the jaws of a tiger, everyone did not react in time!


    This scene happened too suddenly, too unthinkable.


    Until now, there were still quite a number of people in the midst of shock.


    Ye Yuan landed in the safe area again at this time and said to the Qin Tian who had his hands full, "You stay engaged first, I''ll find you to settle scores in a while! The scores between the two of us really have to be settled properly!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure shifted swiftly, teleporting once more.


    Before long, Ye Yuan appeared beside Bai Chen, handed the Dao Fruit to him, and said, "Eat it!"


    Bai Chen had a look of utter disbelief. Then shook his head like a rattle-drum and said, "N-No way! Such a precious thing, Master, you only got it after escaping danger by a hair''s breadth. How can you give it to me?"


    Eating this Dao Fruit meant that one could control a world!


    Ye Yuan actually gave it to him so casually?


    Bai Chen knew the perils of that scene earlier. Although he could not see Ye Yuan''s movements clearly, the intense explosions that came from above indicated that Ye Yuan definitely triggered the grand array.


    Everyone all used incredibly envious gazes to look at Bai Chen. The White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses were similarly like so.


    Eating this Dao Fruit, one could control a world.


    They, these Deity Realm powerhouses, Bai Chen could wield absolute power over their life or death!


    Such a thing, who did not want?


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "This thing is useless to me, I won''t eat it no matter what."


    Bai Chen''s eyes went wide and he said in disbelief, "How can it be useless? If you eat it, you can control the Sky Foothill World!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Things in the world, you win some and you lose some! Although the Dao Fruit is good, as long as one eats it, they will utterly wipe out their talent, cultivation difficulty becoming a thousand times, ten thousand times harder than ordinary people! If barring no accidents, they will just stop at the Celestial Deity Realm in this lifetime too. Unless �� they encounter an even more incredible Dao Fruit."


    A person running into one Dao Fruit in a lifetime was already heaven-defying destiny.


    Encountering a second one �� there was basically no possibility.


    Ye Yuan''s ambition was very big. He thought nothing of Celestial Deity Realm at all.


    Hence, this Dao Fruit was a heaven-defying treasure to others, but it was worthless to him!


    Ye Yuan did not hide his voice. Qin Tian who was currently in a fierce battle with the fireballs nearly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    ''Just stop'' these two words were used well!


    Celestial Deity Realm, even in the Heavenspan World, only one could be born among hundreds of millions of martial artists too.


    This guy was actually so contemptuous.


    "Therefore, you have to think clearly too. If you consume this Dao Fruit, you''ll never be able to break through past the Celestial Deity Realm in this lifetime anymore. Of course, you might not understand the significance of Celestial Deity Realm. Celestial Deity Realm, even in the great world outside, can also be considered a true powerhouse." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    By the side, Mo Yun''s breathing had long become extremely ragged.


    Seeing Bai Chen still in a daze, he could not resist saying, "Silly boy, what are you still waiting for? This is a massive lucky chance that His Excellency bestowed upon you! Didn''t you see how much that intruder wants to get this Dao Fruit?"


    Bai Chen abruptly startled awake, gaze looking firmly at Ye Yuan, and directly knelt down.


    Dong dong dong!


    Bai Chen gave three deep kowtows toward Ye Yuan.


    "Master''s grace, I''ll definitely repay it after I break through to the Celestial Deity Realm!" Bai Chen said firmly.

 1445 Too Late!

    Under everyone''s stares, Bai Chen slowly ate the Dao Fruit.


    They all swallowed their salivas, staring at Bai Chen eagerly, their eyes full of envy.


    Bai Chen''s entire body trembled, the light in his eyes gradually fading. A milky-white light screen enveloped him.


    Bai Chen was like a fetus that returned to his mother''s body, curling up in the light screen, and falling asleep.


    A boundless aura of Great Dao gradually spread out.


    Rumble ��


    The entire Divine Ruins started trembling, while this dome started collapsing, rubbles falling down one after another.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The Flame Wandering Universe Grand Array of the Eight Desolates actually started collapsing. Those fireballs scattered everywhere gradually disappeared.


    "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, I want to see who can still save you now!"


    The pressure reducing drastically, Qin Tian let out a wild laugh.


    He was tormented by this grand array until he was about to go crazy. Just now, in order to snatch the Dao Fruit, he even piled injuries on top of his injuries.


    While on the other side, Duan Fei was even more miserable than him.


    Duan Fei, from head to toe, one could use the phrase being riddled with a thousand gapping words to describe him. There was virtually not an area that was in good condition.


    Ye Yuan nonchalantly gave Qin Tian a glance and said disdainfully, "Just based on your condition, you also want to kill you?"


    Ye Yuan''s contemptuous eyes deeply stimulated Qin Tian and he said furiously, "I''m Wu Meng Academy''s number one genius! A measly initial-stage Heavenly Dao dares to utter wild raving?! Die!"


    Qin Tian shouted loudly, his figure rampaging, charging toward Ye Yuan like lightning.


    Except, his aura was already far weaker than his peak.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly. His figure swayed and vanished from where he was.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two people turned into two phantoms, exchanging several rounds like lightning.


    Evenly matched!


    Qin Tian''s internal organs suffered severe injuries, in addition to Heavenly Dao''s suppression, his current strength was even worse than before breaking through.


    Chasing Moon this move, what it emphasized was the unification of man and sword, destroying a solid dike with an ant hole, the speed swift to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan went at full firepower, the strength that he erupted with instantly was not the least bit worse than Qin Tian''s!


    Under this sort of strange state, the two people''s strength actually reached a strange balance.


    The two were people with extremely powerful combat strength. This contest that was well-matched in strength shocked until the dome collapsed rapidly, debris flying everywhere.


    "Duan Fei, go kill that brat! Otherwise, when he refines the Dao Fruit, you''ll die until not even dregs can be left behind!"


    In the fierce battle, Qin Tian''s bellow sounded out.


    Duan Fei was already incomparably tragic under the fireballs'' attacks.


    His Dao foundation was already ruined. Even if his injuries healed, his strength could not advance a step further anymore as well.


    Qin Tian''s words sounded by his ear like a clap of thunder. He abruptly startled awake, pouncing over toward Bai Chen like lightning.


    Although Duan Fei similarly suffered a great loss in strength, he was an Origin Deity powerhouse in the end.


    With his strength, Bai Xiu and the rest were really not a match.


    However, Bai Xiu did not hesitate in the slightest, directly blocking in front of Bai Chen.


    He already harbored the resolve of certain death and had to stop Duan Fei''s attack.


    Mo Yun and the rest of the elders also all rushed over, attempting to stop Duan Fei''s footsteps.


    Duan Fei gritted his teeth, ignoring the injuries on his body, and unleashing all of his remaining divine essence!


    "Grand Luo Bo Ruo Palm!"


    Duan Fei shouted fiercely. A terrifying aura rippled out, causing the faces of Bai Xiu and the rest to change drastically.


    With Duan Fei''s current injuries, if they wanted to escape, it could be done.


    But behind him was Bai Chen!


    "Protect Palace Lord to the death! Everybody attack with me!" Bai Xiu gritted his teeth and said.


    "Yes!" Everyone did not shrink back at all, each executing various means, meeting that terrifying palm force.


    Duan Fei laughed coldly and said, "A bunch of blind and reckless things! Since you all are seeking death, then this divine official will send you all to the western paradise!"


    Finished talking, Duan Fei urged his palm force. A terrifying energy that blotted out the skies and covered the earth fired over in Bai Chen''s direction.


    "Hahaha, that brat is about to die in front of you right away! Are you very desperate? Relax, you''ll also follow him to hell right away!" Qin Tian said with a big laugh.


    Swoosh!


    In the air, a hint of lightning laws suddenly flashed past.


    Then, Qin Tian''s smile froze on his face. He lost Ye Yuan''s traces!


    Ye Yuan disappeared from in front of him once more!


    Qin Tian''s expression changed, and he said with great astonishment, "It''s �� It''s Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans! Damn Thundercry! It''s his Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans!"


    Previously, the scene of Ye Yuan snatching the Dao Fruit was too sudden. Qin Tian did not react in time at all.


    Now, he finally knew why Ye Yuan would disappear!


    Chasing Moon plus Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman!


    When Ye Yuan unleashed Chasing Moon this move, he mobilized the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman at the same time! It could be said to be accelerating on top of speed!


    The Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman was Thundercry''s proud work. Once unleashed, even ordinary Origin Deity powerhouses could not catch up too!


    Even though Ye Yuan was unable to unleash the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman''s full power, established on the basis of Chasing Moon, this move, coupled with the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman, his speed could virtually rival Origin Deity Realms.


    Furthermore, with the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman''s augmentation, the power of Chasing Moon, this move, was even more terrifying!


    Swish!


    Qin Tian shuddered, hearing the sound of a long sword passing through the flesh.


    The eyes of the originally imposing Duan Fei gradually became lax.


    That terrifying palm also directly dissipated without a trace.


    Bai Xiu and the rest who were akin to facing a great enemy suddenly felt the pressure on their bodies easing up.


    Then, they saw Duan Fei fall down feebly in front of them.


    Duan Fei, dead!


    The entire process was just a split second. Everybody did not react to it.


    By the time they reacted to it, Duan Fei was already dead.


    Swoosh ��


    However, the nightmare still continued.


    Qin Tian shuddered again. The scent of death hit him head-on!


    With his strength, he actually only saw an afterimage charge over toward him.


    Clank!


    In his haste, Qin Tian instinctively swung out a slash.


    Qin Tian only felt a tremendous force transmit over. The originally suppressed injuries could not be suppressed any longer, a mouthful of fresh blood spewing out wildly, his body flying out backward.


    "Not over yet! Again!"


    Ye Yuan''s cold voice was like a death-hastening talisman, sounding out by Qin Tian''s ear.


    Qin Tian felt his scalp tingle. But this move of Ye Yuan''s was too terrifying. He only managed to block it just now by relying on his instinctive reaction to danger.


    The next sword, he did not have any confidence to block it!


    Swish!


    Qin Tian only felt a blur before his eyes, Ye Yuan arrived again!


    Clank!


    It was actually blocked again by him like a blind cat bumping into a dead rat!


    It was just that under this immense force, the sword in Qin Tian''s hand could not be held on anymore, slipping out of his hand, eventually falling into the magma.


    "You''re dead!"


    Ye Yuan''s nightmare-like words sounded out by Qin Tian''s ears once again.


    Qin Tian''s pupils constricted, using a near trembling voice to beg, "I was wrong! Ye Yuan, I was really wrong! L-Let''s reconcile!"


    "Too late!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was icy-cold without the slightest emotion, sounding out beside Qin Tian''s ear for the last time.


    Pfft!


    The Evil Extermination Sword easily pierced the Heavenly Feather Flexible Armor, the long sword penetrating right through the internal organs!

 1446 Risking Their Lives

    "I''m �� not �� willing!"


    Qin Tian''s eyes gradually became lax, carrying intense unwillingness.


    He was the most prodigious student of Wu Meng Capital City in 100 thousand years. If barring no accidents, he could even step into the Divine Lord Realm.


    Until one day, a guy called Ye Yuan appeared, snatching away all of his light.


    This rookie who was only the Grotto Profound Realm actually covered the light of him, this half-step Origin Deity!


    Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan was merely an ant that could be easily crushed to death in Qin Tian''s eyes.


    All the way until one day, he discovered to his surprise that this ant suddenly grew up.


    Grew to the point where it was sufficient to threaten him!


    Therefore, he did not scruple to sneak into the Sky Foothill World and also had to kill him.


    But the final outcome concluded with his death.


    A heaven''s chosen of his generation perished here and now!


    "This �� In a blink of an eye, killed two might Origin Deity powerhouses! How did this guy accomplish it?"


    "Too �� Too strong! He''s just at the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm, to actually forcefully toy two mighty Origin Deity powerhouses to death!"


    "It''s hard for Deity Realm powerhouses to jump realms! But this guy''s combat power just shoots up at least two minor realms! Simply inconceivable!"


    "This Ye Yuan is likely a first-rate genius in the outside world too, right?"


    ...


    In the midst of everyone''s cries of exclamations, Ye Yuan put away his sword and stood there, not the slightest bit of pity in his eyes.


    The Qin Family had already used no idea how many means in order to put him to death.


    If not for him having some trump cards, he would have long died until not even dregs remained.


    The first time this Qin Tian laid eyes on him, he already viewed him as a dead person.


    Killing him, Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burden at all.


    Boom ��


    A piece of enormous rock fell from the sky, directly smashing onto the lone island.


    That lone island could not bear it anymore, slowly sinking down.


    The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones scattered on the lone island actually slipped down, falling and dispersing into the magma.


    He was in a fierce battle with Qin Tian just now. With his mind completely preoccupied, he did not notice this enormous rock.


    Now, wanting to salvage it was already too late!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan used the third Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman, his body turning into an afterimage, speeding down below.


    Ye Yuan urged the deploy within his body to the limit and actually reached first despite moving later, catching up to the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones that were currently falling in an instant.


    Ye Yuan moved like lightning. In this split second, he collected seven to eight Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.


    The rest, he was already powerless to do anything.


    His straight line dash did not hold back at all. There was simply no way to change directions anymore.


    "Grand Elder!"


    When Bai Xiu and the rest saw Ye Yuan''s figure rushing towards the magma with immense speed, each and every one of them turned pale with fright.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s speed was too fast. They did not have time to do anything at all.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan knocked into the World Suppressing Stele at an extremely high speed.


    The World Suppressing Stele kicked up a large cloud of magma because of the tremendous impact, scattering it everywhere.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan directly spewed out a mouthful of blood and did not recover for some time.


    This blow was too fierce. Even if Ye Yuan''s fleshy body was strong, he suffered considerable internal injuries too.


    It was equivalent to him suffering a full-powered impact of his own. If it were others, they could directly crash themselves to death!


    "You punk, is life so worthless? If you keep playing like this, you''ll play yourself to death sooner or later one day ��"


    In his sea of consciousness came Dustless''s roar.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s dangerous action, he was virtually almost going crazy.


    This series of actions just now only happened in a twinkle.


    Not only did Ye Yuan have to collect the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, he even had to deploy the World Suppressing Stele. Once there was an accident and he dropped into the magma, he would thoroughly play himself to death.


    "Huhu, aren''t I fine? The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, I have to get it!" Ye Yuan forced a smile and said.


    Ye Yuan struggled to his feet, ignored the injuries on his body, and leaped up.


    "This place isn''t suitable to stay for long, leave!" Ye Yuan said to the White Night Sacred Palace''s group.


    "But �� what about Palace Lord?" Bai Xiu said.


    "He''ll be fine. Bai Chen will be safer in this place than the outside world instead," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The dome collapsed, revealing a large gap above.


    Ye Yuan leaped up, flying toward that gap.


    The faces of Bai Xiu and the rest changed, also hastily following after Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One figure after another flew out from underground.


    But compared to the battalion when they entered, these figures appeared rather few and scattered.


    "It''s Huo Tianyang! That damn fellow, we can''t let him run!"


    The moment Bai Xiu came out, he saw Huo Tianyang currently fleeing at full speed.


    When the White Night Sacred Palace''s group saw this scene, each and every one of them wanted to chase after him.


    "Don''t chase!" Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    Bai Xiu and the others'' actions stopped, saying with puzzlement, "Grand Elder, Huo Tianyang is our mortal enemy, how can we let him go?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Let him wander around at leisure for some time first! When Bai Chen leaves seclusion, he''ll naturally go and take his dog life."


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "Quickly leave!"


    Everyone''s hearts turned cold, speeding away like the wind.


    Boom!


    Not long after everyone left, raging magma spewed right out from underground, reaching the clouds!


    That terrifying temperature, everyone could distinctly feel it from ten thousand miles away.


    The magma was like a fountain, looking extremely spectacular.


    When everyone saw this scene, their faces could not help changing as he said, "Grand Elder, this �� Will Palace Lord be fine inside?"


    This magma was too frightening. It was not up for everyone to not be worried.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax! Eating the Dao Fruit, Bai Chen is Heavenly Dao! This magma is very dangerous to us, but won''t cause the slightest bit of harm to him."


    Only after hearing Ye Yuan''s words did everyone feel slightly more at ease.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan would not harm Bai Chen.


    Since he said so, it must be true.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan caught a familiar figure at his peripherals currently fleeing at a distance.


    His figure moved and chased after.


    "Brother Azurepeak, are you going to leave without saying goodbye when you see an old acquaintance?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    This person was none other than precisely the Divine Envoy Azurepeak.


    There were two divine envoys who came together with Duan Fei this time.


    But the other divine envoy already perished inside the grand array. Azurepeak''s luck was better, surviving by sheer luck.


    He was afraid of being seen by Ye Yuan, so that was why he planned on secretly sneaking away.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was so vigilant, to actually discover him.


    Having his path blocked by Ye Yuan, Azurepeak''s expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "So, it''s Younger Brother Ye Yuan. Azurepeak''s eyes are dull and didn''t see previously. Please don''t take offense."


    How did the current Azurepeak still have any haughtiness of a divine envoy?


    Ye Yuan had a grand display of invincible might, cutting down two mighty Origin Deity powerhouses on his own, leaving behind an indelible mark in the hearts of all the Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.


    Actually, in Ye Yuan''s current condition, whether or not he was Azurepeak''s match was still very hard to say.


    But Azurepeak did not know that Ye Yuan only had three Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans in his possession and already used all of them.


    After all, Ye Yuan''s current accumulated awe was too strong!


    "Huhu, Brother Azurepeak, us straightforward people don''t resort to insinuations. You have to think clearly. If you go back to the Sky Foothill Divine Place now to inform them, that''s becoming enemies with the Sky Foothill World''s sovereign! When Bai Chen refines the Dao Fruit, it will be the hour where you perish, your Dao disappearing!" Ye Yuan said darkly.

 1447 Those Who Submit Prospers, Those Who Defy Shall Perish!

    Inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl, Ye Yuan looked at that fair and flawless face. His heart was in extreme pain.


    So many years had passed, Mu Lingxue still had that peerless appearance, like a sleeping beauty, as if one could wake up her at any time.


    But in these few years, Ye Yuan had once attempted countless times before and never succeeded.


    Ye Yuan knew that in this peerlessly beautiful shell, there was already not a trace of life.


    What there was, was only the currently dissipating spiritual consciousness.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Suddenly, clusters of gloomy cold light lit up around Mu Lingxue, like lighting candles.


    These candle light-like gloomy lights enclosed Mu Lingxue''s surroundings very quickly, guarding her in the middle.


    "This is soul fire, able to hide this lass''s aura and let her spiritual consciousness keep going without dissipating. As long as the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are still there, it can provide power for the Soul Suppressing Pearl unceasingly, lighting this soul fire."


    Hearing Dustless''s words, a large rock in Ye Yuan''s heart landed.


    These few years, Ye Yuan was actually very anxious in his heart.


    "Senior, how long can these soul fires burn?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Dustless''s let out a sigh when he heard that and said, "No idea how many lifetimes of blessing this girlie cultivated either, to be worth you risking your life to go and snatch these Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones for her. These Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are sufficient for her spiritual consciousness to maintain and not dissipate for 200 years."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said, "Just 200 years?"


    Dustless nodded and said, "Isolate Heavenly Dao aura isn''t so easily accomplished."


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh helplessly and said, "This road is really arduous! This trip was nine chances to die and one chance to live, and it only exchanged for 200 year''s time."


    Just 200 years was merely a snap of a finger to Deity Realm powerhouses.


    In these 200 years, not only did Ye Yuan have to cultivate, he even had to search for Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones everywhere. It was really very hard.


    This trip into the Sky Foothill World could be said to be powerful enemies all-round. Regardless of whether it was Duan Fei or Qin Tian, even Huo Tianyang, they were all very troublesome opponents to Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan successfully counter-killed two great Origin Deity powerhouses by relying on his wits in the end, the perils of the process were what outsiders could not imagine.


    But, then again, this trip into the Sky Foothill World, one got to really thank Thundercry''s Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans.


    Otherwise, whether to win or lose was seriously hard to predict.


    Thundercry handed the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans to Ye Yuan in order to let him have the ability to escape.


    He probably never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually relied on these three Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans and killed two mighty Origin Deity powerhouses, and even snatched back seven pieces of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.


    "You''ve already done very well!" Dustless patted Ye Yuan''s shoulder and comforted.


    ...


    In a twinkle, half a year''s time already passed.


    In this half a year, Dustless had been constantly absorbing the energy in the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s powerhouses never went far away the whole time. They were all waiting for Bai Chen to refine the Dao Fruit.


    Except, they all seemed somewhat anxious at this time.


    "Grand Elder, I wonder when Palace Lord will be able to finish refining it? What if �� the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s people came?" Bai Xiu said rather worriedly.


    "This will have to depend on his good fortune. But I reckon that the time should be just about there," Ye Yuan said.


    Only after hearing Ye Yuan''s words did everyone calm down slightly.


    Suddenly, a terrifying aura suddenly descended. Everyone''s expressions changed greatly.


    "W-What a powerful aura! This �� This is the aura of grand completion Origin Deity! Could it be the Sky Foothill Palace Lord coming in person?"


    Bai Xiu''s complexion became incomparably pale. The might of this aura virtually made people despair.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed slightly too, not expecting that they were actually exposed.


    "Heh, what a clever and ingenious fellow, made this palace lord search for so long! Come on out!" A dignified voice sounded out in the space outside.


    "Go on out!"


    Ye Yuan extended a hand and tapped. Space shattered, everyone''s figures appeared.


    In the air was an old man with deep eyes.


    Behind the old man were even seven powerhouses.


    These seven people were all middle-stage and late-stage Origin Deity experts!


    While that old man himself was a grand completion Origin Deity Realm powerhouses.


    This force, when put together, was simply too terrifying.


    Seeing Ye Yuan and the others reveal themselves, the old man said with a profound gaze, "This palace lord searched in this area for over a dozen days without results. If not for this palace lord having a flash of inspiration and using the Profound Space Dharmamudra, you all might really have evaded it!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent and looked toward the Dharmamudra that was suspending in front of the old man. An extremely powerful spatial undulation revealed above it.


    After coming out from underground, Ye Yuan opened up a pocket space in the nearby forest and let the White Night Sacred Palace''s group of people hide inside, avoiding the Sky Foothill Divine Palace''s search.


    He did not expect that it was still just a step short of success.


    A small world''s space was far from as stable as the Heavenspan World''s. With Ye Yuan''s current strength, opening up a pocket space was nothing difficult.


    It was just that he did not expect that this Sky Foothill Divine Palace still had a divine artifact that detected spatial undulations, to actually be discovered by them.


    "Your esteemed self is the Sky Foothill Palace Lord?" Ye Yuan said somberly.


    "Since you know this palace lord, why haven''t you truthfully given that kid''s whereabouts? Otherwise, this palace lord will make you regret living on this earth!"


    A burst of killing intent spread out. Everyone''s faces changed.


    But Ye Yuan was unmoved and said coolly, "Dao Fruit coming into being, the Sky Foothill World has a worthy successor. You all should comply with Heaven''s Will. Don''t do the kind of things that will bring about your own destruction."


    The Sky Foothill Palace lord laughed coldly and said, "Heaven''s Will? This palace lord is Heaven''s Will! The Sky Foothill Divine Palace dominated generation after generation, how can it be a brat who''s still wet behind his ears'' turn to come and rule?"


    The Sky Foothill Palace Lord could be said to be a sovereign-like existence in the Sky Foothill World.


    Now, Bai Chen coming into existence with a roar threatened his position. How could he willingly yield his sovereign authority with both hands?


    The Sky Foothill Palace''s expression turned grim and he said, "Looks like you''re refusing a toast, only to drink a forfeit!"


    Finished talking, the Sky Foothill Palace Lord waved a palm very casually, crushing over toward Ye Yuan''s direction.


    In an instant, heaven and earth changed colors because of it!


    In the Sky Foothill World, grand completion Origin Deity powerhouses were virtually on par with Heavenly Dao.


    The moment he attacked, it was truly powerful to the extreme.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan''s face revealed a mocking smile.


    Boom!


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes. The palm that could topple mountains and overturn the seas immediately vanished into thin air!


    A youth stood in the air, suddenly appearing in everyone''s line of sight.


    "Palace Lord!"


    "It''s Palace Lord! Hahaha �� Palace Lord refined the Dao Fruit!"


    "Palace Lord is mighty and unparalleled!"


    ...


    The White Night Sacred Palace''s people originally lost all hope already. But seeing that youth''s back view, they were immediately wild with ecstasy.


    The youth was none other than precisely Bai Chen!


    The current Bai Chen was strikingly similar to when Ye Yuan took control of Heavenly Dao back then.


    Bai Chen''s gaze was like lightning. Looking in the Sky Foothill Palace Lord''s direction, he said in a cold voice, "From this day forth, I, Bai Chen, take control of Sky Foothill! Those who submit, propers! Those who defy, perish!"


    Sky Foothill Palace Lord''s entire body trembled. He discovered that he was so insignificant in front of this youngster.


    Even if he was only at the Heaven Glimpse Realm!

 1448 Say Goodbye

    Refining the Dao Fruit, Bai Chen directly soared a major realm!


    Although Bai Chen''s realm was still not enough to look at in front of the Sky Foothill Palace Lord.


    But in the Sky Foothill World, he was invincible!


    "Mn?"


    Bai Chen snorted coldly, akin to a thunderclap, blasting until the Sky Foothill Palace Lord moved several steps back in a row.


    A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of the Sky Foothill Palace Lord''s mouth. He actually already suffered internal injuries.


    "S-So strong!"


    "What Palace Lord is displaying right now is merely him at the Heaven Glimpse Realm, but he could injure a grand completion Origin Deity powerhouse with a sound! Is �� this the strength of a sovereign?"


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock by Bai Chen''s means!


    The expressions of those few Origin Deity powerhouses behind the Sky Foothill Palace Lord all changed drastically when they saw this scene.


    "This �� This old man, Mu Jian, pays respect to Lord Sovereign!"


    Although he had intense unwillingness, Mu Jian knew that the disparity between him and Bai Chen was too great!


    Not submitting, he had to die!


    With him kneeling, the other seven Origin Deity powerhouses also followed and knelt down.


    "Sky Foothill seven elders pay respects to Lord Sovereign."


    Bai Xiu had an excited look and also brought the White Night Sacred Palace''s people to follow and bowed down, saying excitedly, "We pay respect to Lord Sovereign!"


    Bai Chen said coolly, "This day forth, the Sky Foothill Divine Palace is dissolved on the spot. The White Night Sacred Palace will replace the Sky Foothill Divine Palace and rule Sky Foothill!"


    Mu Jian''s gaze turned intent and he involuntarily cried out, "Lord Sovereign, this �� this ��"


    Bai Chen''s gaze turned intent and he said in a cold voice, "Why? Do you have objections?"


    Sensing Bai Chen''s killing intent, Mu Jian was alarmed inwardly and hurriedly said, "D-Dare not! Mu Jian dares not!"


    Bai Chen''s voice and expression relaxed slightly and he said coolly, "This Bai won''t meddle with secular affairs as the sovereign! As long as you all don''t become disloyal, you''ll naturally be put in an important position anew."


    Mu Jian''s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Mu Jian doesn''t dare! From today onward, Mu Jian will definitely do everything in my power to assist the White Night Sacred Palace to manage the affairs under the heavens!"


    Bai Chen lightly grunted, slowly turned around, and looked in Ye Yuan''s direction.


    Ye Yuan was currently sizing Bai Chen up with interest. After taking control of Heavenly Dao, his demeanor indeed became different.


    His horizons were already not on the same level as these people.


    Bai Chen flicked in long sleeves and knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    "Disciple Bai Chen thanks Master for your grace of rebirth! From this day forth, Master Ye Yuan is Sky Foothill''s father. As long as Master has instructions, the entire Sky Foothill will definitely go through fire and water!" Bai Chen said with a solemn look.


    Bai Chen''s words made everyone''s countenance change.


    Bai Chen''s current identity was already completely different.


    He was the master of a world. Wanting to kill Ye Yuan was but a matter that could be done with ease.


    But Bai Chen actually paid such solemn respects to Ye Yuan and even revered Ye Yuan as his superior, putting the latter at the position of the sovereign''s father.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could summon wind and call for rain in the entire Sky Foothill World!


    Except, they all looked down on Ye Yuan too much.


    And also underestimated Ye Yuan''s strength too much!


    If it were anybody else, they would be at Bai Chen''s mercy in the Sky Foothill World.


    But Ye Yuan would not!


    The Sky Foothill World''s Heavenly Dao was but an extremely small portion of the Heavenspan World''s Heavenly Dao.


    Ye Yuan controlled the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. He could completely not be fettered by the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao.


    If Bai Chen really had any wicked designs, Ye Yuan could completely rely on the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain''s power to contend with Heavenly Dao.


    It was also to say that Ye Yuan was entirely on the same starting line as Bai Chen.


    In front of Ye Yuan, Bai Chen was just a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist!


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, if he really wanted to kill Bai Chen, it was akin to taking something out of his own pocket.


    However, Bai Chen indeed did not disappoint him.


    His attitude showed that Ye Yuan did not misjudge people.


    Ye Yuan smiled as he helped Bai Chen up and said, "It''s good that you have this thought. But �� Master is leaving!"


    Bai Chen''s expression changed and he said, "Master, you have to face all kinds of killing in the outside world. How can it be as leisurely and carefree as the Sky Foothill World? How about you stay behind and rule the Sky Foothill World together with me?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Master only reached the Heavenspan World after experiencing hardships. How can I give up easily? Master has things that must be done!"


    Bai Chen thought about it and said, "Then �� I''ll go to the Heavenspan World together with Master! With Bai Chen''s current strength, I should be able to help master."


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Bai Chen, don''t underestimate the heroes under the heavens! You have to bear in mind in the future, there is always someone better and a heaven beyond the heavens! The sovereign of a world is nothing in the Heavenspan World! You can control the life and death of everyone here, but going to the Heavenspan World, you are but an ordinary Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist. Your urgent matter on hand is to completely digest the power of the Dao Fruit and became a true Celestial Deity powerhouse. At that time, you''ll go to the Heavenspan World to find me."


    Bai Chen refined the Dao Fruit. But wanting to break through to Celestial Deity Realm still required the accumulation of time.


    After all, people at the Celestial Deity Realm were too powerful. Wanting to reach it could not be done in a short time.


    According to Ye Yuan''s estimations, for Bai Chen to want to cultivate to the Celestial Deity Realm, it at least needed 200 years'' time.


    Even if he went to the Heavenspan World now, he could not be of help to Ye Yuan at all.


    Hearing these words, Bai Chen involuntarily revealed a disappointed look.


    "But �� Alright, I''ll listen to Master and absolutely won''t look down on the heroes under the heavens! When I achieve Celestial Deity Realm, I''ll definitely go to the Heavenspan World and brave it!" Bai Chen said with a firm gaze.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, Master is waiting for you in the Heavenspan World!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s expression became stern and he said somberly, "Oh, right, before you break through to the Divine Lord Realm, you absolutely mustn''t show anything unusual! If there are people from the outside world coming in for trials, you have to pretend not to see. Whatever that should be done should still be done. Make sure not to let the cat out of the bag, got it?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan instruct so solemnly, Bai Chen knew the severity and said with a nod, "I understand! Rest assured, in these few decades, I''ll definitely tuck my tail between my legs and behave."


    Each small world was a treasure vault with limitless resources, and also an excellent place for training disciples under them.


    But if this small world broke free from control, Wu Meng City Lord would likely not let the matter go.


    Once he personally enters the Sky Foothill World, then Bai Chen would be in danger.


    "Alright, it''s getting late. Master should leave!" Finished talking, Ye Yuan was planning on leaving.


    "Wait a minute, Master!"


    Bai Chen suddenly stopped Ye Yuan, turned to Mu Jian, and said, "Does the Sky Foothill Divine Palace have Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones?"


    Mu Jian did not dare to conceal and hurriedly said, "Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are too hard to come by. The consumption these few years were also not small. Presently �� there are only three pieces left!"


    Bai Chen''s brows furrowed. Mu Jian''s expression changed, his heart thumping away.


    Clearly, Bai Chen was unhappy.


    "Forget it, bring it all!" Bai Chen said coolly.


    This kind of precious thing, Mu Jian naturally kept it on him.


    Only to see him take out three pieces of milky-white stones. It was precisely the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.


    Bai Chen handed them to Ye Yuan and said helplessly, "Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are too rare. This disciple can only do so much. When I thoroughly take control of Heavenly Dao, I''ll definitely bring Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones to go and find Master!"


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, directly putting it away.


    Other things, he could not care. But Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, he needed it too much.


    "Alright, Master will accept it. Farewell!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, vanishing from where he originally was.

 1449 Handing in Mission

    Under the shade of trees, a group of students was currently chatting idly.


    The object of conversation naturally could not do without those most talented students.


    "Oh, right, the outer-court''s number one genius, Ye Yuan, has already not returned for over ten years. Heard that he took a trial-taking mission and went to a small world. It wouldn''t be that �� he can''t return anymore, right?"


    "Heh, it''s not impossible! Normally, going out to train, it ranges between three years to five years and they''ll pretty much be back. Exceeding eight years, there were basically very few that returned."


    "Yeah, it''s already been over ten years, it likely bodes ill rather than well!"


    "It''s a pity, with his talent, stepping into Divine Lord Realm is virtually a sure bet!"


    "Heard that Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian went to experience and temper himself too. The two of them, one after another, is a little too coincidental! Furthermore �� Senior Apprentice Brother Qin Tian hasn''t returned until now too."


    "Shhh �� do you want to die?! How dare you say this kind of thing?!"


    "Mn? You guys, look, that �� that is ��"


    Everyone followed the gaze and looked over, and could not help being surprised.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in, looking very calm and collected.


    The direction he was heading in was precisely the Merit Hall.


    "It''s Ye Yuan! He �� He actually broke through to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse!"


    "My God, this is also too freakish! This kind of cultivation speed is simply too terrifying!"


    "I remember that when he went out, didn''t he just break through to late-stage Grotto Profound? It''s just been over ten years and he crossed over half-stop Heaven Glimpse, directly breaking through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm?"


    "This guy''s talent is too frightening! He has entered the sect for less than 30 years and broke through from middle-stage Grotto Profound to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse. This kind of cultivation speed is simply too abnormal."


    ...


    The aura emanated by Ye Yuan made everyone extremely surprised.


    Although those who entered Wu Meng Academy were geniuses among geniuses, those with cultivation speed like Ye Yuan were really one of its kind.


    More importantly, not only did Ye Yuan''s realm advance extremely fast, but his strength was also daunting to the extreme, crushing those in the same rank!


    Now that Ye Yuan broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, it was equivalent to entering the inner-court.


    This way, the inner-court''s situation would likely undergo a massive change.


    "Go, let''s go and take a look just what mission Ye Yuan was carrying out! Wasn''t it said that small worlds'' spiritual energy is very sparse, very hard to break through realms? How in the world did this guy do it?"


    Ye Yuan''s appearance immediately caused an uproar.


    Quite a number of people followed suit, following Ye Yuan to the Merit Hall.


    Regarding the matter of divulging Ye Yuan''s information, even if ten years had passed, Yu Jing had always taken it to heart.


    A genius like Ye Yuan was destined to shake the Wu Meng Capital City, even an existence who was going to enter Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    But because of the Qin Family''s selfishness, such a prodigy perished in a small world. This was really something that made people choke with anger.


    How much face did Ye Yuan gain for Wu Meng Capital City by defeating Jin Yu?


    But now, he was going to die in the hands of a vile character.


    But because of this matter, Yu Jing got quite a bit of benefit instead.


    In secret, Qin Tianning gave Yu Jing considerable compensation.


    At this time, a figure entered the Merit Hall. Yu Jing''s mood was somewhat irritable and said impatiently without even looking, "Go to the jade pillars there to find the mission first, then come find me when you''re done."


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I''m here to hand in the mission."


    Only then did Yu Jing slightly raise his eyelids and looked at the arrival. But his expression abruptly changed and he quickly stood up.


    "Y-Y-Ye Yuan! You �� You actually �� came back!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Yu Jing was shocked until he was staring with his mouth agape.


    Ye Yuan did not return for ten years. Yu Jing thought that Ye Yuan had long died under Qin Tian''s hands already.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually returned in perfectly good condition. How could he not be shocked?


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Jing, his gaze slightly cold as he said with a smile that was not a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yu seems to be very surprised seeing me return!"


    At this time, the number of people outside the Merit Hall was swarming. Yu Jing startled awake very quickly, his expression somewhat unnatural as he said, "H-How so! I was just surprised. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye took a Three-star mission and actually completed it? Mn? You �� You broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm!"


    Buzz!


    Yu Jing just happened to find a reason to deal with Ye Yuan but instantly ignited the outside.


    "Three-star mission! He actually drew a Three-star mission on his first time going out to train!"


    "Got to be kidding! Three-star missions, the death rate for the simplest ones also exceed 50%! Ye Yuan actually completed the mission and came back!"


    "This guy �� simply can''t be gauged with common sense! Freak! Freakish until he has no friends!"


    "Other people all have narrow shaves going. Not only did he not die when he went, but he also broke through his realm instead!"


    ...


    The people surrounding and watching outside the door directly blew up. A Grotto Profound Realm student actually went to take a Three-star mission!


    Disregarding this, not only did Ye Yuan complete the mission, he even broke through a major realm and came back.


    This �� Did he still want people to live?


    Actually, the most shocked one was not those people outside, but Yu Jing!


    Monstrous waves were surging in his heart right now!


    He knew that Qin Tian went to the Sky Foothill World to hunt down Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan completed the mission and returned. What about Qin Tian?


    In an instant, Yu Jing thought of many possibilities.


    Could it be �� No way!


    Even if Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, it was also impossible to be Qin Tian''s match. He was a half-step Origin Deity powerhouse!


    Furthermore, he heard that Qin Tian already suppressed his realm for very long. As long as he was willing, he could break through to the Origin Deity Realm at any time!


    Very soon, Yu Jing rejected that most frightening thought.


    Because this notion was too absurd.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was deep and serene, looking at Yu Jing meaningfully, and said with a faint smile, "Like that huh. This Ye had some minor gains in these ten years and broke through by a fluke. Senior Apprentice Brother Yu, this is the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit. My mission should be considered as completed, right?"


    Yu Jing''s heart thudded, secretly thinking that things were bad.


    Could it be that �� Ye Yuan really ran into Qin Tian and he already knew that it was me who divulged the information about his mission?


    But if Ye Yuan really encountered Qin Tian, how did he return?


    Also, where in the world did Qin Tian go?


    A series of queries sounded out in Yu Jing''s heart. But the more he thought, the more he felt that there was no answer.


    He totally could not guess what happened in the Sky Foothill World.


    "H-Haha, of course it''s completed! Junior Apprentice Brother, hold on, I''ll clock the mission''s rewards into your academy token right now."


    Yu Jing did not dare to meet Ye Yuan''s eyes and laughed awkwardly, clocking the mission''s points into Ye Yuan''s academy token.


    "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, done. You''re really too incredible. Such a difficult mission, you, a Grotto Profound martial artist, actually completed it!" Yu Jing said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just a fluke."


    Ye Yuan put away the token, divided the crowd, and directly left.


    The moment he left, the others immediately surrounded over.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Yu, just what Three-star mission did Ye Yuan draw?"


    "Yeah, tell us."


    According to the academy''s rules, after a student completes the mission, the mission''s information could be disclosed.


    Of course, apart from the coordinates.


    Yu Jing was pestered badly. He could only smile bitterly and say, "It''s the number eight mission! What Ye Yuan drew was the number eight mission on the Three-star jade pillar!"


    All those present were dead silent!

 1450 Rage

    "What did you say? Ye Yuan he �� he came back?"


    Learning of this news from Qin Tianyu''s mouth, Qin Tiannan almost jumped up.


    Qin Tianyu''s expression was very ugly as well. His face was currently sullen until it was almost dripping water.


    He slowly nodded his head and said with a solemn look, "Just earlier, Ye Yuan already took the Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit and went to the Merit Hall to hand in the mission! I came to find you straight away when I got the news."


    "Then �� Then what about Qin Tian? Is there news?" Qin Tiannan asked with a flustered look.


    He already could not care about killing Ye Yuan anymore now. Qin Tian''s life or death was the question that he was most concerned about.


    However, Qin Tianyu shook his head and said, "Qin Tian didn''t return. There''s no news at all!"


    Qin Tiannan turned deathly pale and said absent-mindedly, "Impossible! Impossible! Qin Tian must have been delayed by some business!"


    Qin Tianyu heaved a sigh and said, "You don''t need to be so worried either. In my view, Little Tian should have been delayed by some matters. With Ye Yuan''s strength, it''s simply impossible to do anything to him."


    Qin Tian''s facial expression eased up slightly and he forced a smile as he said, "What Elder Brother said is right. I �� I lost myself in concern here. Although Ye Yuan this brat is freakish, to want to deal with Qin Tian, he''s not qualified at all."


    Qin Tianyu''s brows furrowed, but said, "There''s still something that I haven''t told you. Ye Yuan he �� Not only did he complete the mission, he even broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm already!"


    Qin Tiannan''s expression changed. His heart that had just settled down leaped up once more.


    "How is this possible? When he went, he was just late-stage Grotto Profound. It''s just been ten years or so and he broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm?"


    Qin Tianyu let out a sigh and said, "This matter has already spread across the entire Wu Meng Academy, so it can''t be wrong!"


    Qin Tiannan''s expression flickered incessantly. Qin Tianyu slowly got up, patted Qin Tiannan''s shoulder, and said, "Wait and see first! If you really can''t, you can only find Ye Yuan to have a showdown."


    ...


    All the way until he returned to his residence, Ye Yuan did not see Xie Jingyi. This made Ye Yuan very surprised.


    The news of him returning definitely spread throughout the entire Wu Meng Academy like the wind. Logically speaking, Little Fatty should have long arrived.


    "Could it be that this guy went into seclusion to cultivate?" Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    However, Ye Yuan kept feeling somewhat uneasy.


    "Better go and take a look at him!" Ye Yuan thought about it and still intended to go to Xie Jingyi''s residence to take a look.


    Ye Yuan was just about to step out but bumped into Chi Fang directly.


    "Teacher Chi?" Ye Yuan said rather surprisedly.


    When Chi Fang saw Ye Yuan, his eyes lit up first but became gloomy again very quickly.


    "You''re going to find Xie Jingyi, right?" Chi Fang opened his mouth and asked.


    Ye Yuan''s heart thumped, a foreboding premonition welling up in his heart.


    "Something happened to Little Fatty?"


    Chi Fang heaved a sigh and said, "You follow me!"


    ...


    Looking at the Xie Jingyi lying on the bed, his breathing very feeble, Ye Yuan''s fury filled his chest with a wham.


    Feeling that icy-cold aura on Ye Yuan, Chi Fang''s expression changed slightly.


    Little Fatty''s current condition was very terrible. There was virtually not an intact spot on his body, his face being beaten until it lost human form, his body also riddled with a thousand gaping wounds. Clearly, he had had his fill of torment.


    More importantly, Little Fatty''s body already did not have the slightest trace of essence energy undulations!


    His divine sea was crippled, already thoroughly becoming a cripple.


    At the rate of the current situation, Little Fatty would not last past a few days.


    "Who did this?"


    Ye Yuan''s words did not carry the slightest emotion, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.


    But Chi Fang could tell that Ye Yuan''s rage had already reached the peak.


    Chi Fang did not hide it either, recounting the events of a few days back.


    Actually, Little Fatty was very smart. After Ye Yuan left, he was very low-profile. The vast majority of the time, he was cultivating on his own.


    In this period, Wang Song and Jia Chong they all provoked many times, but Little Fatty just did not fall for it.


    All the way until half a year ago, Little Fatty broke through to the half-step Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    The excited Little Fatty ran straight to the inner-court to find Lin Xiu. Since then, the two people''s feelings made remarkable progress.


    Ten days ago, Lin Xiu suddenly arranged to meet with Little Fatty outside the academy.


    Little Fatty did not suspect anything and actually really went to keep the appointment.


    He did not expect that Lin Xiu had actually long arranged with the Qin Family''s Qin Zheng, Qin Pei, as well as Wang Song and Jia Chong!


    This was simply a trap!


    "Only later did I know that Lin Xiu had actually secretly liked Qin Tian all along. It''s just that nobody knew. The Qin Family''s people saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, and that''s why they had the idea of finding Lin Xiu to take action. Xie Jingyi indeed fell for it."


    Chi Fang paused for a bit and continued explaining, "When the Xie Family heard that Xie Jingyi became a cripple, and also because of the Qin Family''s matter last time, they already don''t care about him. I know that you and he have a close relationship, so I sent him to the Myriad Treasure Tower. But his injuries are too severe, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s alchemists are also at a loss on what to do, and could only make him hang on with one breath."


    Ye Yuan listened quietly all the way, his expression calm, his emotions did not have much ripples.


    It was just that the cold light in his two eyes revealed itself more and more.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, taking out a medicinal pill, and stuffing it into Xie Jingyi''s mouth.


    Chi Fang''s gaze turned intent. He discovered that he did not recognize the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Although that was just a Tier 1 divine pill, he had actually never seen before!


    Tier 1 healing divine pills were just those few types. Chi Fang recognized all. But he had actually never seen before the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hand!


    Chi Fang was startled inwardly, understanding it very quickly.


    This was the same as the Essence Cultivating Pill, also a new kind of medicinal pill. Furthermore, it was a high-grade Tier 1 divine pill!


    Ye Yuan pushed down the medicinal pill with divine essence. Little Fatty''s body actually strengthened a little.


    Chi Fang''s gaze sharpened, immediately knowing this medicinal pill''s prowess.


    "Teacher Chi, where are those few people right now?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    He knew that Chi Fang definitely knew those few people''s whereabouts.


    Chi Fang''s expression changed and he said, "You''re going to find them right now?"


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "It''s the Qin Family again! It looks like they really take me to be a soft persimmon, kneading as they wish! Teacher Chi, I''ll take action myself for this matter. It has nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower."


    Chi Fang''s expression was rather ugly as he said, "I didn''t mean that. It''s just �� you''re not their match!"


    In that group of people, there were quite a few grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.


    Especially, Lin Xiu, she was even known as the number one person below Qin Tian.


    Even though Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, there was still some gap from those people.


    But this matter, it was really inconvenient for the Myriad Treasure Tower to intervene. They had no justifiable reason to carry out a campaign at all.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You just need to tell me where they are!"


    Chi Fang''s expression changed again and again, and finally he said, "They are at Clearwind Inn, all there!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and walked towards the outside.


    At this time, Chi Fang suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Did that Qin Tian �� go to hunt you down?"


    Ye Yuan''s figure paused and he opened his mouth and said, "That''s right!"


    Chi Fang was startled again and said in surprise, "You guys exchanged blows before? Then you came back. He ��"


    "Dead."


    Ye Yuan lightly threw down this word and went out the door.

 1451 Killing You Is Like Killing a Dog!

    Only after several breaths did Chi Fang suddenly quiver, coming back to his senses.


    "Impossible! He �� How can he possibly kill Qin Tian?"


    Chi Fang muttered to himself, clearly still unable to accept this fact.


    But he knew in his heart that Ye Yuan absolutely would not shoot his mouth off.


    Actually, the news of Qin Tian hunting down Ye Yuan was already not a secret in Wu Meng Academy.


    The two of them went out to train one after another, and also did not return for ten years.


    Even a fool could also guess what happened.


    But now, Ye Yuan returned safe and sound, but Qin Tian failed to come back. This had to set off numerous speculations.


    Of course, it might be that Ye Yuan used some method to shake Qin Tian off, resulting in Qin Tian still being not knowing that Ye Yuan already returned until now.


    But it was also possible that Qin Tian had already fallen in the small world.


    Actually, the majority of the people still leaned towards the former. After all, Qin Tian''s strength was quite known.


    Even if Ye Yuan broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm, it was also not possible to be Qin Tian''s match.


    Chi Fang as the academy''s teacher, he was naturally clear about Qin Tian''s strength.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually personally admitted that Qin Tian was dead!


    What in the world happened inside the small world?


    Suddenly, Chi Fang was startled, secretly thinking that things were bad.


    "This lad is lawless and rampant, he might do something! This matter, better to notify Tower Lord."


    ...


    Inside a box room in Clearwind Inn, Qin Zheng and the rest were currently chatting away happily.


    "That punk is sly and cunning. We expended so much thought and he wasn''t willing to take a step out of the academy. It''s still Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu who is impressive. The moment you make a move, that punk fell for it obediently."


    Wang Song had a delighted look. It was just that the expression of the Jia Chong by the side was rather unnatural.


    But he also knew that his disparity with Qin Tian was too great. There was no chance at all.


    Lin Xiu who was sitting on the seat of honor still had a cold and prideful appearance, exuding the temperament of a goddess.


    Mentioning Xie Jingyi, she had a look of disgust as she said, "Xie Jingyi wants to score above his league, thinking about having a baby with me. He thought he can do as he pleases. If not for Big Brother Tian telling me not to keep him at a distance, I would have long taken action against him."


    Qin Zheng hurriedly said ingratiatingly, "Isn''t that so! That damn fatty is fat and round, with a name like a girl''s. Forget about a proud daughter of heaven like Senior Apprentice Sister, even ordinary women won''t take fancy on him either!"


    Qin Pei smiled and said, "Wu Meng Academy, only Big Brother Tian and Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu is a match made in heaven!"


    Mentioning Qin Tian, Lin Xiu''s brows suddenly furrowed and she said, "Big Brother Tian going to kill Ye Yuan this time, he''s gone for ten years. He should be back no matter what, right?"


    Qin Zheng paid no attention to it as he said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Sister Lin Xiu is flustered due to concern. Who is Big Brother Tian? This time, him personally taking action, that kid is probably a dead soul under his sword long ago!"


    Qin Pei said, "Yeah, Big Brother Tian probably had some fortuitous encounter in the small world, that''s why he would be delayed until now."


    With them saying so, Lin Xiu also finally felt at ease and said, "Makes sense. Thinking about it, that Ye Yuan is merely at the Grotto Profound Realm, so how can he possibly be Big Brother Tian''s match? What''s laughable is that that punk overestimated his own ability, to actually dare oppose the Qin Family. Truly, wouldn''t have died if he didn''t court death!"


    "Oh? Is that so?"


    Right at this time, an icy-cold voice sounded out outside the box room.


    Bang!


    The door was directly broken by a powerful force, revealing a figure with a cold face.


    "Who is it, to dare �� dare �� Ye Yuan! You �� You didn''t die!"


    Wang Song was just about to fly off the handle when he suddenly saw clearly that the one standing doorway was precisely the nightmare-like existence, Ye Yuan!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Not just him, when everyone in the box room saw Ye Yuan, their faces all became extremely fascinating.


    The news of Ye Yuan returning already spread within Wu Meng Academy.


    What was coincidental was that these few people were currently having a small gathering in the city and completely did not know about the news of Ye Yuan returning.


    If they knew, they definitely would not dare to swagger about in the city leisurely anymore.


    "You guys are very disappointed that I didn''t die, right? But since I didn''t die, then your doomsday �� has arrived!" Ye Yuan nonchalantly sentenced these few people to the death penalty.


    Lin Xiu and the rest were only surprised and did not take Ye Yuan''s threat seriously at all.


    After all, among them, there were even three grand completion Heaven Glimpse.


    While Ye Yuan was only initial-stage Heaven Glimpse.


    Hang on, initial-stage Heaven Glimpse!


    This guy actually broke through!


    Lin Xiu looked at Ye Yuan and said icily, "With just the likes of you? Ye Yuan, since you slipped away from Big Brother Tian''s hands, then I''ll take care of you today for him!"


    Ye Yuan looked towards Lin Xiu, his gaze cold.


    This woman truly deserved death!


    Little Fatty was infatuated with her. She actually made use of Little Fatty''s blind love and caused him to become like that.


    "Hahaha, Ye Yuan! Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk! Hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! Since you escaped by luck, you should have been a bit more low-profile and hide in the academy and not come out. But now, you delivered yourself to the door," Wang Song said with a loud laugh.


    "He''s taking up the cudgels for the injustice done to his brother here! Haha, that damn fatty even said repeatedly that day that his brother will help him take revenge. I didn''t expect that you really came today!" Qin Zheng also laughed loudly and said.


    "Then we''ll take a look at how this genius Junior Apprentice Brother Ye will find us to take revenge then!" Qin Pei said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan directly ignored their mocking and said coolly, "Gui Yun!"


    A faint phantom appeared beside Ye Yuan and said with a bow, "Master!"


    The moment Gui Yun appeared, everyone''s expression changed.


    Grand completion Two-star!


    This evil spirit''s cultivation speed was so quick. He actually broke through to grand completion Two-star already!


    The battle with Qin Tian, Gui Yun sustained heavy injuries.


    Through over half a year of recuperating, not only did Gui Yun''s injuries recover fully, his strength even advanced a step further, breaking through to grand completion Two-star.


    "Those three will be left to you first. Don''t let them come and disturb me," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Yes, Master!" Gui Yun bowed and said.


    "Heh, shameless boasting! A merely grand completion Two-star evil spirit wants to take care of three inner-court peak disciples? One has to admit that you''re very naive!" Lin Xiu said with a sneer.


    Gui Yun slowly walked in front and said in a cold voice, "Nether Ghostclaw!"


    A black large hand suddenly flew out of the void, grabbing toward the three people.


    The three people''s expressions all changed when they saw the situation. They did not expect that Gui Yun''s strength was actually so strong.


    Very soon, the three people fell into a tangled melee.


    Wang Song looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "You let that evil spirit deal with the three of them, looks like you''re very confident in dealing with me?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyelids raised slightly, his voice did not carry the least bit of emotion as he said coldly, "Killing you is like killing a dog!"


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan''s Sundering Stars suddenly chopped out!


    A complete version Sundering Stars went straight for Jia Chong!


    "Puhwark!"


    Jia Chong had yet to react to what was happening and directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!


    Wang Song''s gaze turned intent, his face revealing a solemn look.


    These few years, Jia Chong already broke through to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse too.


    But under Ye Yuan''s Sundering Stars, he was actually one-shotted without even having time to react!

 1452 Wang Song in Despair

    "So strong! What happened just now? I only felt a blur before my eyes and Jia Chong exploded!"


    "That Jia Chong is Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm too. Furthermore, he was even this season''s runner-up. Why is the disparity from him so great?"


    "There was no news about Ye Yuan in these ten years. I didn''t expect that the moment he came back, his strength became even more terrifying."


    "But even if his strength is very powerful, it''s impossible to be Wang Song''s match too, right? After all, Wang Song is also an inner-court''s genius. Furthermore, he''s already late-stage Heaven Glimpse, two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan!"


    ...


    The Clearwind Inn''s business was excellent. Ye Yuan''s punch blew up the door, causing such a great commotion. It naturally drew a large group of people to surround and watch.


    Over there, Gui Yun battled three mighty grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouses alone by himself and actually did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest, making everyone click their tongues in wonder.


    The four people''s great battle already turned the entire box room upside down, blowing up a corner of the Clearwind inn.


    "Heh, you don''t think that you''re my match by killing a good-for-nothing, right? Punk, you came to seek death yourself today. Just nice, we''ll settle old grudges and new enmity together! Wang Su, Big Brother is going to avenge you today!"


    Talking until the end, Wang Song gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Wang Su''s death had always been pressing on his heart, making him unable to get over it.


    The last time he wanted to kill Ye Yuan, it was forcefully stopped by Xiao Feng.


    This time, Ye Yuan delivered himself to the door, just as he wished!


    "Taiyi True Dipper Fist! Die for me!"


    Wang Song shouted fiercely, giving no chance to explain, directly smashing a fist over toward Ye Yuan.


    The powerful fist wind made everyone exclaim in shock.


    "This fist intent has clearly already reached the Fist Dao third-layered heaven!"


    "The Taiyi True Dipper Fist is an academy supreme skill in the first place. Wang Song also cultivated this move to Fist Dao third-layered heaven, how to fight still?"


    "This Ye Yuan is too impulsive. This bit of strength and he dared to come and challenge Wang Song!"


    "Heaven Glimpse Realm can''t compare to Grotto Profound Realm. The difficulty of jumping realms to battle is too great."


    ...


    The higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of jumping realms to battle.


    Moreover, it was even leaping across two minor realms!


    If the difficulty of jumping realms in Grotto Profound Realm was 10 points, then the difficulty of Heaven Glimpse Realm jumping realms was 50 points, even 80 points!


    Although Wang Song was not considered top-notch in the inner-court, he was a first-rate genius too.


    His strength was not considered weak.


    For Ye Yuan to want to leap two minor realms to defeat him was too difficult.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have any visible change in countenance regarding this punch of Wang Song''s.


    When his fist wind condensed and formed, and rumbled over towards him, only then, did Ye Yuan slowly raise the Evil Extermination Sword.


    "Sundering Stars!"


    A light sound of tearing through the air happened in a flash, colliding together with the Taiyi True Dipper Fist''s fist wind.


    Boom!


    It was only to see Wang Song''s figure like a cannonball, directly flying toward the house opposite the street.


    Wang Song smashed through several walls before gradually stopping his figure.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    How could this Ye Yuan be so strong?


    This move of Ye Yuan''s, everyone could not fathom its actual situation at all.


    An ordinary and plain slash, looking like it did not have any power at all. Even the spiritual energy did not have any undulation.


    But the power was so formidable!


    For the first time, it was the appearance of the complete version Sundering Stars in the Heavenspan World.


    Previously when Ye Yuan used this move, he slew a Heaven Glimpse powerhouse while being at the Grotto Profound Realm.


    Now, Ye Yuan broke through to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse. This power of this move could not be compared even more.


    Defeating Wang Song in one move was nothing remarkable.


    In reality, his Chasing Moon move was not unleashed yet.


    "Real or fake? Initial-stage Heaven Glimpse and he can trash late-stage Heaven Glimpse. This strength is also too frightening, right?"


    "Everyone said that Ye Yuan''s talent surpassed Qin Tian''s. Previously, I didn''t believe it. Now, I really believe it!"


    "This is too monstrous! That sword, I completely could not fathom at all! To actually have such formidable power, how did he do it?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s strength could not be estimated with his realm on the surface at all.


    His Chaos Heavenspan Canon coupled with the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art, just how much potential he had, only his opponent could experience it.


    Now, Wang Song experienced it.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, an afterimage dashed out of the wall, speeding over in the direction of Wu Meng Academy with incredible speed.


    This scene was too unexpected. Everyone all did not react to it.


    "Puhwark!"


    As he fled, Wang Song vomited blood in large mouthfuls.


    At this time, how could he still care about the injuries on his body? He even used every last ounce of strength, the goal was Wu Meng Academy!


    As long as he could escape into Wu Meng Academy, Ye Yuan would not dare to kill him anymore.


    "Too strong! How can this guy be so strong? He''s just initial-stage Heaven Glimpse! Back then, when Qin Tian broke through to initial-stage Heaven Glimpse, he could contend with middle-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. But it''s merely just contending with! But Ye Yuan, he really ��"


    Monstrous waves surged in Wang Song''s heart. He was really unable to imagine that Ye Yuan after breaking through to Heaven Glimpse Realm was actually terrifying to this kind of degree.


    In his heart, there was still half a sentence that had not been said.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, killing him was really like killing a dog!


    Wang Song fled desperately. He stimulated the exertion of his body to the limit.


    At this very moment, he wished that his parents gave him an extra pair of legs, or gave him a pair of pairs. He wanted to fly into the Wu Meng Academy!


    Fly ��


    Suddenly, a figure dropped from the sky ahead, flying �� in front of him.


    An emotion called despair instantly filled his entire body.


    How could he forget that Ye Yuan knew sword maneuvering flight?!


    "Sword maneuvering flight! It''s really sword maneuvering flight! All along I heard that Ye Yuan knew sword maneuvering flight, but I have never seen it before with my own eyes. Today, it really broadened my horizons!"


    "With this, Wang Song is screwed! Wonder if Ye Yuan will really kill him or not. Behind Wang Song is the Qin Family and Wang Family, two great families."


    "Heh, what do you think? Qin Peiyu that little girl, Ye Yuan killed without even batting an eye. Do you think that he''ll let Wang Song off?"


    ...


    Thud!


    Wang Song directly knelt down, weeping until tears cascaded down.


    "Lord Ye, Grandpa Ye, I was wrong! I was really wrong! This matter was all instigated by Qin Zheng and Qin Pei, and Lin Xiu is an accomplice! It really has nothing to do with me!"


    A matter of life and death, how could Wang Song still have any moral integrity? With an inordinately crying manner, he betrayed Qin Zheng and Qin Pei.


    Ye Yuan just sneered when he heard that and said, "Wang Song, I''ve already given you the chance, it''s you who challenged my bottom line time and again! Now, you can go to hell!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Sundering Stars tore through the air and arrived. Wang Song was the same as Jia Chong, directly exploding into a cloud of blood mist.


    On the streets, everyone all looked at this scene with immense shock.


    Today, Ye Yuan was probably going to poke a hole in the sky!


    Killing Wang Song, Ye Yuan did not stay, directly riding his sword and going to Clearwind Inn again.


    Gui Yun and the three people were currently in the midst of fierce fighting and already fought from the Clearwind Inn onto the streets. Everyone all clamored to give a wide berth.


    Lin Xiu''s strength was indeed very formidable, already forcing Gui Yun to use ghost energy possession, before barely managing to fight to a draw with the three people.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, figure charging out like lightning, going straight for Qin Pei!


    "Chasing Moon!"

 1453 Bloodbath on the Streets!

    Whoosh!


    Qin Pei was currently fully engrossed in dealing with the Nether Ghostclaw. Suddenly, his scalp tingled, and a feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s figure turned into a stream of flowing light, rushing toward Qin Pei with an inconceivably swift speed.


    This was too sudden. Ye Yuan''s speed was too fast, fast until everyone could not react to it.


    The sense of crisis coming from the back was even stronger than the Nether Ghostclaw!


    Too late to turn around, Qin Pei slashed with a backhand.


    At the same time, he gave a backhanded palm, slapping toward the Nether Ghostclaw.


    Qin Pei''s reaction could not be said to not be quick, but Ye Yuan was even faster!


    Clank!


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan and Qin Pei virtually spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood at the same time. Ye Yuan''s figure flew out backward.


    However, Qin Pei was much more miserable than Ye Yuan.


    The cooperation between Gui Yun and Ye Yuan did not need words to transmit at all.


    The moment Ye Yuan moved, Gui Yun understood Ye Yuan''s intention. He continued to focus his attack on Qin Pei.


    How could Qin Pei''s hasty palm block the attack of the Nether Ghostclaw?


    Being attacked from both front and rear by the enemy, he immediately suffered heavy injuries.


    This scene happened too quickly and too suddenly. Lin Xiu and Qin Zheng both could not react to it.


    By the time they reacted, Qin Pei was already badly injured and unable to fight anymore.


    It was also that the majority of Qin Pei''s strength was concentrated on Gui Yun, causing Ye Yuan''s injuries to be not too severe.


    Otherwise, with Qin Pei''s grand completion Heaven Glimpse strength, forcefully clashing a blow with him, Ye Yuan would have to be seriously injured even if not dead.


    Without the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talisman''s augmentation, Ye Yuan was still a little frail in front of grand completion Heaven Glimpse.


    However, Ye Yuan completely did not care about the injuries on his body. In the instant he hit the ground, his long sword swung, and he actually charged back once more!


    "Chasing Moon!"


    This move, Ye Yuan referenced Jin Yu''s Roaming Qi Returning to Bowels back then.


    Jin Yu''s move that borrowed power to swing out was completed in one breath, virtually unable to crack.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s move was different from his, but this swing had the same ingenuity of achieving the same goal via different means with him.


    The opportunity was fleeting. Ye Yuan did not want to give Qin Pei a chance to catch his breath.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan turned into a stream of flowing light once more, shooting toward Qin Pei.


    But at this time, Qin Tian was struck flying by two heavy blows, his entire body had not landed yet.


    His internal organs were still in turmoil, completely not expecting Ye Yuan to actually arrive again at this time.


    Pfft!


    The Evil Extermination Sword passed through Qin Pei''s chest without any surprises!


    Qin Pei''s eyes went wide. Till death, he did not believe that it was Ye Yuan who killed him.


    But Ye Yuan would not give him the chance!


    Qin Pei''s eyes gradually became slack, but the pair of eyes refused to close no matter what.


    He died with everlasting regret!


    How could an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse possibly kill him, a grand completion Heaven Glimpse existence?


    "This �� What the hell happened just now? Ye Yuan''s sword art was too quick, I only saw a blurry afterimage!"


    "S-So strong! Ye Yuan only used two swords and killed a grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse! Although it was under the assistance of that evil spirit, this battle achievement is sufficient to shock the whole city!"


    "This must be a dream! Must be dreaming! Qin Pei is a proud son of heaven, his strength could virtually sweep across those in the same rank. To actually be killed by an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse!"


    ...


    Originally, in everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan''s provocation was just a farce.


    But no one expected that this farce actually turned into a bloody fight on the streets.


    Gui Yun''s strength was indeed strong, but facing three great peerless geniuses, he was forced to use ghost energy possession too before barely managing to fight to a draw.


    Once time passed, he would definitely be overwhelmed.


    But Ye Yuan suddenly joining the battlefield instantly reversed the battle situation.


    From Ye Yuan''s appearance to Ye Yuan killing three people in a row, it was merely half a quarter of an hour.


    Everything happened too quickly, quick until everyone had not reacted yet and the battle was already more than half over.


    With Ye Yuan finishing off Qin Pei, the pressure on Gui Yun''s side immediately lessened.


    With his current strength, fighting Lin Xiu one-on-one was a sure win.


    With the addition of Qin Zheng, it also just reached a tie with him.


    But there was still Ye Yuan who could threaten them by the side!


    Ye Yuan''s Chasing Moon was too fast; completely impossible to guard against.


    Once Ye Yuan seized the opportunity, they would be dead for sure.


    Pfft!


    Ye Yuan drew back the Evil Extermination Sword, his gaze turning toward the battlefield once more.


    Qin Pei collapsed onto the ground weakly, not understanding what was going on until death.


    As if sensing that icy-cold gaze of Ye Yuan''s, Lin Xiu and Qin Zheng duo both seemed to be a little flustered. Gui Yun controlled the ghost claw and immediately took the upper-hand.


    Swoosh!


    How could Ye Yuan possibly waste such a fine opportunity, unleashing Chasing Moon without the slightest hesitation!


    He turned into an afterimage once again. The target this time was Qin Zheng!


    Clank!


    With preparation, Qin Zheng''s response was much more adequate compared to Qin Pei.


    His long sword swung, forcefully clashing with Ye Yuan by a narrow shave.


    "Puhwark!"


    The powerful strength of grand completion Heaven Glimpse made him injured once again.


    But Qin Zheng was not feeling good too. Gui Yun''s side made use of this opportunity and also firmly took the upper-hand.


    Ye Yuan did not stop in the least bit, forcefully enduring his internal organs'' injuries, he unleashed Chasing Moon again!


    Clank!


    Clank!


    Clank!


    One streak of cold light after another flashed past, making everyone palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    Each attack, Ye Yuan spurted fresh blood wildly.


    Clearly, he was risking it with his life!


    Ye Yuan was miserable, but Qin Zheng was even worse than him.


    Ye Yuan''s attacks were not momentary impulses. Each time he attacked, he made Qin Zheng actually vomit blood.


    He narrowly avoided the Nether Ghostclaw''s attacks several times, but that powerful power of laws still made him suffer heavy wounds.


    Qin Zheng''s injuries were much more serious than Ye Yuan!


    "How great an enmity is this? Ye Yuan is risking too much, this is simply exchanging life for life!"


    "Heh, heard that Qin Tian nominally went out to experience and train. Actually, it was to go and hunt down Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan and the Qin Family are already long irreconcilable already!"


    "Could it be that today, Ye Yuan is going to kill all of Wu Meng Academy''s few great geniuses? Really wonder what kind of reaction it will be when Wu Meng Academy and the Qin Family gets the news in a bit!"


    "Ye Yuan is still too reckless! The Qin Family is deeply entrenched in Wu Meng Capital City. Even if there''s the Myriad Treasure Tower behind Ye Yuan, it''s probably no use too."


    ...


    Everyone watched the Ye Yuan who was playing with his life, all exclaiming with admiration.


    It was just that they did not know, Ye Yuan risking his life like this to kill people was not for himself, but in order to give Little Fatty an account!


    The more Lin Xiu fought, the more alarmed she got. Regardless of whether it was Gui Yun or Ye Yuan, they were both too terrifying.


    Her strength was proclaimed to be the academy''s number two, whule Qin Zheng was also an existence ranked in the top five.


    But when they faced the combination of Gui Yun plus Ye Yuan, they actually did not have any strength to fight back at all!


    "No way! At this rate, I''ll be bogged down to death by them too! I have to find a way to return to the academy!" Lin Xiu thought.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan arrived once more. Gui Yun also placed the focus of the attack on Qin Zheng in order to cooperate with Ye Yuan.


    Lin Xiu made a swift decision, swinging an empty slash, her figure retreating explosively, directly breaking away from the group battle!

 1454 Go, Apologize to My Brother!

    Lin Xiu''s retreat directly put Qin Zheng in the position of being attacked from both front and rear.


    Gui Yun''s oppression plus Ye Yuan''s terrifying speed, he would virtually die for sure.


    "Your father will fight it out with you!"


    Qin Zheng could not be bothered to lash out at Lin Xiu. He only had time to have mutual destruction with Ye Yuan.


    He directly gave up the defense against the Nether Ghostclaw, concentrating his remaining power and met with Ye Yuan in full force!


    The all-out attack of a grand completion Heaven Glimpse, the current Ye Yuan could not withstand it at all.


    "Gui Yun!"


    Ye Yuan bellowed. Gui Yun immediately understood.


    The Nether Ghostclaw directly gave up striking Qin Zheng down. He extended his strike between Ye Yuan and Qin Zheng, separating the two.


    But this was not over yet. Ye Yuan''s two feet stepped right onto the Nether Ghostclaw''s palm!


    Boom!


    Qin Zheng''s attack abruptly slammed onto the Nether Ghostclaw''s back. A tremendous impact transmitted over, Ye Yuan directly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "Chasing �� Moon!"


    Borrowing this surge of huge force, the Nether Ghostclaw''s palm escorted, directly superimposing together with Ye Yuan''s Chasing Moon.


    Qin Zheng''s attack, the Nether Ghostclaw''s transferred power, plus Chasing Moon''s speed. In this instant, Ye Yuan''s speed was swift to the extreme!


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes. Ye Yuan''s figure vanished from where he stood!


    Lin Xiu had just dashed out over 200 feet away when she suddenly sensed a powerful sword intent rushing over from behind. All the goosebumps on her body broke out.


    Too fast!


    Currently, Lin Xiu had her back turned to Ye Yuan; wide open. There was no time to defend at all.


    A distance of 200 over feet was just a matter of a snap of a finger to Ye Yuan''s speed.


    Pfft!


    Caught unprepared, the Evil Extermination Sword directly pierced into Lin Xiu''s abdomen.


    "ARGH!!"


    Lin Xiu screamed shrilly and forlornly. The divine essence in her divine sea seemed like a river breaching its banks; flowing away crazily.


    In this instant, too many unforeseen events were experienced. Outsiders could not imagine it at all.


    Ye Yuan''s reaction was quick to the extreme, enduring the heavy injuries and forcefully completing this attack.


    This degree of injury was not fatal to Lin Xiu, but she already became a cripple.


    Lin Xiu''s divine sea was utterly destroyed. At this time, she no longer had any divine essence.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan''s injuries could not be suppressed anymore at this time, bursting forth crazily.


    Fresh blood instantly dyed his clothes.


    But the current Ye Yuan was akin to a god of war, making everyone hold in awe and veneration.


    From Ye Yuan appearing to killing three and injuring one, was merely a quarter of an hour from start to end.


    If not for seeing it personally, they totally would not believe that an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse martial artist could actually complete such a magnificent feat.


    Everyone all looked at this scene with incredible shock and did not even emit a cry of exclamation.


    They seriously could not find the words to describe the astonishment in their hearts currently.


    "Ye Yuan, I �� I''ll kill you! You actually �� actually ruined my cultivation!"


    On the entire street, there was only Lin Xiu''s shrill scream left, as well as Gui Yun and Qin Zheng''s fighting sounds.


    That blow earlier, Gui Yun also suffered considerable injuries. But dealing with Qin Zheng, who was already severely wounded, it was more than enough.


    Ye Yuan staggered in front of Lin Xiu. When Lin Xiu saw Ye Yuan, her eyes wanted to spew fire.


    "Ye Yuan, you''ll die a horrible death! I curse you ��"


    Slap!


    A crisp slap echoed, directly slapping Lin Xiu''s entire person flying.


    The current Lin Xiu did not have divine essence protecting the body. How could she withstand Ye Yuan''s slap? Half of her pretty face immediately swelled into a pig''s head.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was full of icy-coldness, making no effort to hide his killing intent in the slightest.


    After this slap, Lin Xiu immediately became obedient.


    She finally knew she was no longer that proud daughter of heaven, but a cripple, a cripple like Little Fatty.


    Lin Xiu covered her face and looked at Ye Yuan, two rows of clear tears flowing steadily, her eyes full of fear.


    In the current Lin Xiu''s eyes, Ye Yuan was a demon who killed people without batting an eyelid.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of pity.


    "Go, apologize to my brother!"


    Ye Yuan directly hauled Lin Xiu up.


    Bang!


    Over there, the Nether Ghostclaw slapped down. Qin Zheng was deader than dead.


    Thus far, Wu Meng Academy''s five great elite disciples, four were dead, one crippled.


    And the entire battle merely lasted for a quarter of an hour.


    All of this happened too quickly, quick until the Qin Family and Wu Meng Academy did not react in time and the dust already settled for the fight.


    "Go!"


    Ye Yuan put Gui Yun away and directly rode his sword and left.


    On the streets, everyone exchanged glances, their gazes filled with shock.


    Today''s battle simply subverted their understanding.


    "I �� I must have been dreaming just now! Is this kind of thing really what an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse can accomplish?"


    "Too strong! The few of them were all existences who sweep across all in the same rank. They were actually all killed by Ye Yuan in 15 minutes!"


    "Not only is Ye Yuan''s combat power exceedingly powerful, but his ability to adapt at the last-minute is also keen to the extreme. This kind of opponent is really too terrifying!"


    "This battle is sufficient to go down in history! If not for seeing with my own eyes, I''d definitely think that it''s rubbish! Indeed, too nonsensical!"


    "But Ye Yuan can be considered to have poked a hole in the sky. Regardless of whether it is the Wu Meng Academy or Qin Family, they probably would not drop the matter! It might even startle City Lord, His Excellency!"


    ...


    When Qin Tiannan heard this news, he somewhat doubted if his ears heard wrongly.


    "Rubbish! Disregarding Qin Zheng and Qin Pei, that Lin Xiu is the inner-court''s number two, her strength far surpassing those in the same rank! How can a puny little Ye Yuan possibly cripple her divine sea?"


    That subordinate said with a guileless look, "Family Head, even if this subordinate has immense courage, I also wouldn''t dare to simply fabricate a story! This matter is absolutely true. There were thousands of people on the scene who saw this battle. Right now, it already spread out in the entire capital city!"


    Hearing this, the muscles on Qin Tiannan''s face were twitching. His heart was dripping blood.


    Although Qin Zheng and Qin Pei were not as good as Qin Tian, their talents also far surpassed those in the same rank and were bound to be mainstays in the family clan in the future.


    Now, they were killed by Ye Yuan just like that!


    Qin Tiannan discovered to his dismay that ever since provoking Ye Yuan, the Qin Family did not have one thing that went smoothly.


    Now, Qin Tian''s life or death was uncertain, the Qin Family''s elite disciples practically wiped out. The blow to the Qin Family was too great.


    Qin Tiannan forcefully endured the rage in his heart and said in a solemn voice, "Where is Ye Yuan now?"


    That subordinate said, "Ye Yuan wasted Lin Xiu and detained her at the Myriad Treasure Tower. The cause of this incident is likely still that fatty, Xie Jingyi."


    As the Qin Family''s family head, Xie Jingyi''s matters, he had naturally heard about it.


    At that time, he thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, and that there was nothing wrong with doing so.


    On the contrary, although it was a small squabble with the junior disciples, Qin Tiannan felt very liberated instead.


    He was even considering setting up a marriage with Lin Xiu after Qin Tian returned.


    But he never thought that this matter actually caused such severe consequences.


    After the subordinate left, Qin Tiannan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Looks like for this matter, I have no choice but to request Father to take action!"

 1455 Repen

    Thud!


    Ye Yuan did a sweeping kick, Lin Xiu directly knelt on the ground.


    The one lying on the bed was precisely Little Fatty Xie Jingyi.


    "My brother said that his brother will help him get revenge. Even if I throw away this life, I''ll also have to avenge this grudge for him! You ruined my brother''s divine sea, rendering him a cripple, so I ruined your divine sea and made you come in front of my brother to repent! As for your life and death, it''s up to my brother to decide!" Ye Yuan enunciated each word.


    Ye Yuan''s injuries were truly not light. But at this time, he already could not care about the injuries on his body.


    He knew that after this fight, a monstrous wave would surely be set off in Wu Meng Capital City.


    The time left for him was not much!


    How did the current Lin Xiu still have any hint of the appearance of a proud daughter of heaven?


    It was only to see her hair in a mess, her clothing disheveled, half of her face swollen heavily. Her abdomen area still had blackish-red bloodstains flowing out.


    Most important, her pride was already completely destroyed by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not have any intention of having compassion towards women at all. In Ye Yuan''s eyes, she was a venomous beauty.


    "But �� But he ��" Lin Xiu said fearfully.


    Ye Yuan''s face was cold and detached, pointing his finger like lightning, tapping a few times on Little Fatty''s body.


    A miraculous scene appeared, Little Fatty actually slowly opened both eyes.


    Lin Xiu could not help getting a shock. Back then, how heavy those few hits were, she saw it with her eyes.


    According to her deduction, it was absolutely impossible for Little Fatty to survive.


    Now, Ye Yuan just helped him to massage a few times and Little Fatty woke up?


    Actually, this was primarily the effect of that medicinal pill. It was just that Little Fatty had a breath stuck in his chest, that was why he remained unconscious.


    Those few taps of Ye Yuan''s helped Little Fatty smoothen out his breathing. Little Fatty naturally slowly woke up.


    Ye Yuan helped him up and said softly, "Damn fatty, your grudge, your brother has already helped you avenge it! Apart from Lin Xiu, those four people have already stretched their necks out to be chopped off. This bitch, I''ve already wasted her cultivation, leaving you to deal with."


    Xie Jingyi was still very weak at this time. His reaction was clearly somewhat sluggish.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, that ashen-gray eyes of Xie Jingyi''s gradually recovered some light.


    That hollow eyes gradually focused on Lin Xiu''s face, then became complicated.


    Only a short while ago, Little Fatty''s greatest motivation for entering Wu Meng Academy was Lin Xiu.


    How much work he put in these few years in order to become a man worthy of Lin Xiu, only he himself knew.


    But, this woman actually ruthlessly toyed with his feelings, then trampled his feelings on the ground, trampling it to no end.


    Lin Xiu, trampled on his pride as a man until it was worthless.


    Now, when he woke up again, this proud daughter of heaven actually became a cowering ugly woman, kneeling in front of him.


    All this made him feel like he had experienced a dream.


    How much did he wish that this was just a dream!


    Little Fatty could not speak, but he knew in his heart that it was his brother who picked up his dignity from the ground and pieced it together!


    When Lin Xiu saw Little Fatty wake up, she scrambled over to the bedside and hugged Little Fatty''s calf, saying with a weeping look: "Little Yi, it was all Xiu-er''s fault! Xiu-er was possessed by ghosts for a moment. That''s why I would do this kind of muddleheaded thing. I �� I actually have you in my heart all along, really! Little Yi, let''s �� let''s get married tomorrow, alright?"


    Lin Xiu knew that her only hope to live right now was that piece of marriage contract.


    Xie Jingyi liked her for so many years, this kind of feeling could not possibly be wiped away all at once.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Xiu''s despicable appearance and really wanted to slap her to death with one palm.


    But he did not wish to affect Little Fatty''s decision, so he forcefully endured and did not speak.


    In this short while, Little Fatty finally recovered some strength.


    "Make �� her �� shut up."


    Little Fatty used a mosquito-like voice and said these four words, virtually exhausting all of the strength in his body.


    Of course, this was said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "My brother asked you to shut up, heard it?"


    Lin Xiu''s expression changed and indeed did not say to make a sound anymore.


    Little Fatty panted for a while before mustering up some strength again and said, "I �� knew that �� you �� would help me �� take revenge. Ha �� I �� thought that �� I was dead for sure."


    Each time Little Fatty said a word, he had to pause for a bit. Clearly, his condition was poor to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan said with a solemn look, "With me around, even if you want to die, you can''t die too! When you''re well, let''s take up the wine cup and have a merry chat!"


    Little Fatty''s eyes were somewhat murky. Clearly, he knew that even if he recovered, he was already a cripple too.


    With his divine sea being destroyed, he could no longer cultivate in this life.


    This kind of life, what meaning was there still?


    A divine sea being destroyed was a completely different situation than Ye Yuan''s divine sea being damaged back then.


    After the divine sea was destroyed, even if your medicinal Dao was exceedingly formidable, it was also unable to recover.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fatty, do you believe me or not?"


    Little Fatty froze for a moment, then immediately nodded his head slightly


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "Good! Then your brother will promise you here today, I''ll definitely find a way to let you recover your divine sea!"


    Little Fatty looked at Ye Yuan with some surprise, clearly somewhat doubting this sentence.


    Not just him, a hint of contempt flashed across the eyes of Lin Xiu by the side, feeling that this boast of Ye Yuan''s was boasted too big.


    Divine sea already destroyed, how could it possibly be repaired?


    Moreover, whether or not Ye Yuan could survive past today was still unknown!


    He killed so many of the Qin Family''s people, how could the Qin Family possibly take things lying down?


    "I �� believe you!" Little Fatty still said very seriously.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was consoling him, not wishing him to never recover after the setback from hereon.


    Although this kind of comforting seemed rather feeble, it was very heart-warming.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, "This whore, how to deal with her?"


    Little Fatty looked at Lin Xiu''s face and said with a slight sigh, "I �� don''t wish �� to see her �� again!"


    Lin Xiu''s entire body trembled, her face revealing a look of wild elation.


    With this sentence of Little Fatty''s, she knew that her life was preserved.


    Although she was a cripple now, it was better to live than die.


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh, thinking to himself that this Little Fatty was still a little too kind.


    So many years of feelings were not so easy to let go in the end.


    "Get lost then!" Ye Yuan said in a deep voice.


    "Yes, yes, yes, I �� I''ll get lost right away!"


    Lin Xiu crawled and scrambled, going out of the room''s door.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Your body is still very weak now, take a good rest."


    Little Fatty nodded slightly. He was indeed very tired already.


    Ye Yuan placed him down. He fell asleep very quickly.


    Lin Xiu went out of the Myriad Treasure Tower, ignoring the injuries on her body and sprinting wildly. She wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.


    Ahead, the Qin Family''s brigade already arrived. Lin Xiu laughed excitedly and said, "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, I see if you won''t die today!"


    Right at this time, an icy-cold voice sounded out behind her.


    "Whether I die or not won''t need you to worry about. But you''re dead for sure!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Lin Xiu had yet to react to what was going on when her entire being exploded into a cloud of blood mist, passing away with the wind ��

 1456 The Qin Familys True Strength!

    "Ye Yuan, you dare to commit murder on the streets. How do you plead?!"


    From a distance, came Qin Tiannan''s roar. Then he pounced over like a mad dog.


    An Origin Deity Realm''s powerful aura made the entire long street ripple with spiritual energy.


    He saw that Ye Yuan was alone and wanted to kill Ye Yuan with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder that left no time for covering ears.


    This way, it would have nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower anymore.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, his figure rising off the ground.


    Qin Tiannan was like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey but missed.


    Ye Yuan knowing sword maneuvering flight was already established in an undefeatable position.


    This Wu Meng Capital City, the people capable of touching him were also just that few.


    Ye Yuan stood in the sky proudly and said with disdain, "Qin Tiannan, it''s your Qin Family who broke the rules of the game first! This Ye took part in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, your Qin Family arranged for an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse to lead the team. Failing the assassination, it became murder! That time, this Ye tolerated it! But this time, I went out to train and temper myself, you all violated the academy''s rules again, sending Qin Tian over to hunt me down and even condoned the Qin Family''s disciples to seriously injure my brother, turning him into a cripple!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was akin to a great bell. People from several streets away all heard it, immediately causing an uproar.


    "The Qin Family is also too much, using their strength to bully the weak. To actually use such despicable means to deal with a young student."


    "Ye Yuan has made great contributions in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial and even won the Four-star divine pill for City Lord, His Excellency. They all actually dealt with Ye Yuan in this way!"


    "Sigh, the Qin Family covering the sky with one hand, City Lord doesn''t come out to intervene either. This really makes people disappointed to the max."


    ...


    The Qin Family had become accustomed to being overbearing these few years. There had been many people who felt displeased with them long ago.


    Ye Yuan''s remarks immediately aroused public outrage. Quite a number of people were all gesticulating at the Qin Family''s behavior.


    However, Qin Tiannan''s focus was not on this at all. His gaze was glued on Ye Yuan as he said in a solemn voice, "You really saw Tian-er! How is he doing now?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "How? Since I came back, could it be that you still haven''t realized it?"


    "Impossible! With your strength, how can you possibly kill Tian-er?" Qin Tiannan roared.


    He had always been harboring hope in his heart, thinking that Qin Tian was just delayed by something.


    Now, personally saying it from Ye Yuan''s mouth, he still did not dare to believe it, thinking that Ye Yuan was deliberately triggering him.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Then in your view, can I kill Lin Xiu and Qin Zheng they all? The fact is, they are all dead!"


    Hearing these words, Qin Tiannan''s face turned ashen, the last trace of hope was also utterly severed by Ye Yuan.


    "Qin Tian really died! My God, how on earth did Ye Yuan accomplish it?"


    "Hearing that Qin Tian has already suppressed his realm for very long. As long as he was willing, he could break through to the Origin Deity Realm at any time! This Ye Yuan is really too terrifying."


    "Although that Lin Xiu was known as the academy''s number two, she''s on a completely different level from Qin Tian''s strength!"


    "This is fun now. The Qin Family''s three strongest juniors were all slaughtered clean by Ye Yuan."


    ...


    Qin Tian had been famous in Wu Meng Capital City for several hundred years already. He was considered as the young genius with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm in 100 thousand years. His strength could be seen at a glance.


    But this peerless genius still fell in Ye Yuan''s hands!


    An initial-stage Heaven Glimpse martial artist''s hands!


    This result simply made everyone unable to imagine it.


    But ten years had passed, for Ye Yuan to be able to stand here, this already indicated many problems.


    Qin Tian had most likely really perished!


    "Arrogant child, to dare climb on top of my Qin Family''s head! Die!"


    Right at this time, a peerlessly powerful aura rose to the sky from the crowd. A terrifying power of laws instantly locked onto Ye Yuan.


    This change caught Ye Yuan completely off-guard. Wanting to avoid was already too late.


    Among the Qin Family''s crowd actually concealed a powerhouse who could fly!


    Without a doubt, this old fellow was the Qin Family''s old ancestor.


    Half-step Divine Lord Realm, too powerful!


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest strength to fight back in front of a half-step Divine Lord Realm.


    "Puhwark!"


    The Qin Family''s ancestor had yet to arrive and Ye Yuan''s blood already spouted wildly under the pressure of the power of laws.


    The current Ye Yuan had injuries piled on top of injuries, completely powerful to resist anymore.


    But right then, another powerful aura burst forth from the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Boom!


    Two terrifying power of laws collided in midair, stirring up a powerful air billow.


    The Ye Yuan in midair was directly sent flying by this air billow, smashing heavily onto the Myriad Treasure Tower''s roof.


    "Qin Zhaoyun, you''re killing people at my Myriad Treasure Tower''s entrance, do you still have any respect for me, this Myriad Treasure Tower''s tower lord?"


    Han Tian stood with his hands behind his back, facing Qin Zhaoyun from afar, his aura not the slightest bit weak.


    Qin Zhaoyun''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Han Tian, you dare to oppose my Qin Family for the sake of this brat?"


    Han Tian gave Ye Yuan a glance and sighed inwardly.


    This boy was really too capable of causing trouble. With this, it really poked a hole in Wu Meng Capital City''s sky.


    Han Tian was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was actually somewhat nervous.


    He had been watching the situation outside all along but had always been conflicted in his heart.


    All the way until Qin Zhaoyun rampaged to kill, he did not make up his mind too.


    But without a doubt, the value of Ye Yuan was too great!


    Chi Fang reported to him that Ye Yuan used an unknown medicinal pill and actually brought Little Fatty back to life miraculously.


    What did this show?


    The new pill formulas in Ye Yuan''s hands were probably far from just those one or two!


    Although he was still hesitant in his heart, Han Tian did not reveal anything on the surface, and said coolly, "Ye Yuan is my Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist. Have you asked me about touching him?"


    Qin Zhaoyun''s face turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, "This boy killed Tian-er, Zheng-er, and Pei-er, and can no longer live under the same sky as my Qin Family! I don''t care what guest alchemist he is. If you dare to protect him today, this old man might go on a killing spree!"


    Clearly, Qin Zhaoyun had also gone completely berserk when he heard the news of Qin Tian being killed.


    When Han Tian heard this, he just said coolly, "With just the likes of you?"


    His strength was more or less the same as Qin Zhaoyun''s, neither could do anything to the other.


    Where''s the talk of going on a killing spree?


    Who knew that Qin Zhaoyun just snorted coldly and said, "Han Tian, you''re also underestimating my Qin Family''s strength too much!"


    Han Tian''s expression changed. Countless soldiers flooded in on the streets, sealing off the entire street.


    These people were precisely the City Lord Manor''s guards!


    A powerful aura came close from afar. The arrival wore black armor, looking extremely awe-inspiring.


    "Tower Lord Han, the Myriad Treasure Tower and Wu Meng Capital City have always been mutually beneficial and win-win for so many years. Why is there a need to make it so unpleasant for a junior?"


    The one speaking was precisely the city guards'' commander, Zhao Yi!


    This Zhao Yi was likewise a half-step Divine Lord mighty expert!


    With this, Han Tian immediately felt tremendous pressure.


    But, it was not over yet!


    Another powerful aura rose to the sky, finally stopping beside Qin Zhaoyun, facing Han Tian from afar.


    Another half-step Divine Lord mighty expert!


    It was just that the expression was complicated on this person''s face. His gaze looked toward Ye Yuan, with a look of pity.


    This person was none other than precisely the academy head, Wen Yiyang!

 1457 Breaking Off All Relations

    "Tower Lord Han, this time, Ye Yuan has seriously gone overboard! This old man �� sigh!"


    Wen Yiyang had let out a long sigh, not knowing how to continue.


    When he heard that Ye Yuan killed five great academy geniuses, he was speechless for a long time.


    Honestly speaking, such a student had too much potential!


    But in this world, it was never as simple as it looked on the surface.


    If Wen Yiyang did not come forward, it was very difficult to settle the various forces.


    Especially that Qin Family''s pressure which was too great!


    Three half-step Divine Lord powerhouses coming forward at the same time, even Han Tian felt a steep increase in pressure too.


    Han Tian knew that the trouble Ye Yuan caused today was huge, but he did not think that it was stirred up so big either.


    Four great half-step Divine Lord powerhouses facing off, this grand occasion had already not occurred for no idea how many years.


    Qin Zhaoyun stared at Han Tian intently with heated eyes and said coldly, "This boy viewed his fellow disciples as inconsequential. Even if he''s your Myriad Treasure Tower''s guest alchemist, he has already incurred public outrage! Today, he must die! If your Myriad Treasure Tower dares to protect him, it will probably be hard to survive in Wu Meng Capital City from now on!"


    Zhao Yi who did not speak all along also said quietly, "Ye Yuan indiscriminately killed the innocent, this is challenging the prestige of the City Lord Manor! If this commander doesn''t take action, where will the City Lord Manor''s prestige lie?!"


    Han Tian''s expression was incomparably ugly. He was already forced to the edge of the cliff; riding a tiger and finding it hard to dismount.


    Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill, forcefully suppressing the injuries within his body. Slowly getting up, he raised his head to the sky and laughed hard as he said, "What a fine indiscriminately killing the innocent! A fine harming his fellow disciples! When Little Fatty had his divine sea crippled by the five of them, no road to heaven and no gate into the earth, where were you all? When Qin Tian violated the academy''s rules and tailed me to assassinate me, where were you guys? When Qin Yuanlong disregarded his identity during the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial and ambushed me, a Grotto Profound disciple, where were you all? Heh, I overpowered all heroes in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, winning the Four-star divine pill for City Lord. What it exchanged for is you making concessions to avoid trouble! Heh, this kind of academy, doesn''t matter whether I enter or not! Today, I, Ye Yuan, break off all relations with Wu Meng Academy!"


    Ye Yuan stood proudly, facing three great half-stop Divine Lord powerhouses without the slightest fear.


    City Lord Manor and Wu Meng Academy coming forward at the same time was already sufficient to represent Wu Meng City Lord''s attitude.


    Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang''s appearance also made Ye Yuan''s final trace of fetters to Wu Meng Academy dissipate like cloud and mist too.


    In all fairness, Ye Yuan''s contributions to Wu Meng Academy far exceeded his demands.


    He did not owe anything to Wu Meng Academy.


    On the contrary, Wu Meng Academy''s way of doing things made him utterly disappointed.


    "Turns out that the Qin Family was actually so overboard to Ye Yuan. No wonder Ye Yuan was so indignant and wanted to kill his fellow disciples. Turns out that it was to take revenge for his brother!"


    "Qin Yuanlong was an Origin Deity Realm great expert. To actually ambush a Grotto Profound Realm junior, it''s really too shameless."


    "The matters previously, Ye Yuan endured them. This time, him rampaging and killing people is to take revenge for his brother. Ye Yuan is kind and just!"


    "Really can''t understand, Ye Yuan has such terrifying talent, why is City Lord so biased towards the Qin Family! No wonder the Qin Family has been acting more and more in a tyrannous manner these few years. Turns out that it''s City Lord backing them up!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words aroused many people''s sympathy.


    The Qin Family and City Lord Manor coercing like so, this was clearly forcing people to drastic alternatives.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to endure until now was already incredibly not easy.


    Qin Zhaoyun saw that the situation was not right and said with a cold snort, "Razor-tongue that talks glibly! You''re clearly counting on that you made contributions, so you consider everyone beneath your notice, harming your fellow disciples. Now, you actually dare to resort to sophistry! Han Tian, this old man is only asking you, moving aside or not?!"


    Han Tian was just about to speak when Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, "Today''s matter, this Ye will shoulder it alone! Senior Han, thank you very much for these few years of care. If this Ye is lucky to get away today, I''ll definitely repay generously in the future! Xie Jingyi and Miss Wanru will be entrusted to Senior Han!"


    Han Tian opened his mouth and truly did not know what he should say.


    Even if he fought to the bitter end with these three people, he could not save Ye Yuan either.


    Three mighty half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were not what he alone could contend with.


    Qin Zhaoyun smiled coldly and said, "Lucky to get away? A measly initial-stage Heaven Glimpse really dares to talk! Today, if you don''t die, I, this Qin, will never meet anyone again!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Zhaoyun and said with a sneer, "Old fart, your face can''t meet people long ago! But you rest assured, this Ye will make your Qin Family completely disappear one day!"


    Qin Zhaoyun laughed from extreme fury and said, "Shamelessly boasting brat! This old man wants to take a look today at how you''re going to make the Qin Family disappear!"


    At this time, Wen Yiyang sighed slightly and said with a complicated expression, "Ye Yuan, your talent is astonishing, why is there a need to disparage yourself? Surrender without resistance, this old man will help you beg City Lord for leniency. He''ll definitely give you a way out!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a cold smile, "Does Academy Head really take this Ye to be a three-year-old kid? Although this Ye has never met that Wu Meng City Lord, he and the Qin Family are obviously acting in collusion. If I really surrender, can you protect me?"


    Wen Yiyang opened his mouth and was actually speechless.


    Actually, he also did not know what was the relationship between City Lord and the Qin Family. But the various signs indeed showed that City Lord and the Qin Family were closely related.


    Actually, him coming forward this time was also City Lord personally sending him word, making him persuade Ye Yuan back.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was clearly not so easy to deceive. He had long seen through the signs behind this.


    "Heh, talking anymore is useless! Old bastard, if you have the ability, come and try chasing me today!"


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly at Qin Zhaoyun, his figure instantly vanishing from where he was.


    "So fast!"


    Everyone had yet to react to what was going on when Ye Yuan already turned into a small black dot, vanishing into the horizons.


    This sword maneuvering flight''s speed was actually more than several times faster than before!


    Qin Zhaoyun''s expression changed, divine essence urging frenziedly, chasing over in the direction Ye Yuan disappeared.


    Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang''s faces also revealed surprised looks, not expect that Ye Yuan''s speed was actually so fast.


    Ye Yuan''s figure turned into a stream of flowing light, like a comet in the sky, a thousand miles in a twinkle.


    "Damn it, how can this brat''s sword maneuvering flight''s speed be so fast?'' Qin Zhaoyun said exasperatedly.


    Zhao Yi''s expression was ugly too and he said in a solemn voice, "No way, at this rate, we''ll lose him!"


    Wen Yiyang did not speak. He felt like his heart was dripping blood.


    A genius like Ye Yuan should originally be a most glorious stroke in his, the academy head''s career. But did not expect that it became this kind of outcome.


    "Hahaha �� old dog, looks like you really have no face to meet people in the future! Got to remember what you said!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice slowly transmitted over from the front. He had completely no respect for them, three great half-step Divine Lord powerhouses.


    Although half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were able to fly, it was clearly not their forte.


    In comparison, after Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, it was his first time deploying sword maneuvering flight at full power. Those few half-baked dabblers could not catch up at all.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s expression changed. A horrifying aura descended from the sky.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself!

 1458 Power of the World!

    The entire sky seemed to be distorted.


    Ye Yuan felt that there was a vast power ahead. His entire person seemed to have gotten stuck in a cloud of cotton, unable to break free no matter what.


    "It''s the power of the world! That Wu Meng City Lord came in person!" Dustless''s voice sounded out in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Ye Yuan''s heart abruptly sunk to the bottom of the valley. What he was most worried about was this Wu Meng City Lord. He did not expect that this guy really made a move.


    He originally thought that this Wu Meng City Lord disdained to bother with such things.


    It looked like he really miscalculated this time!


    This Wu Meng City Lord''s relationship with the Qin Family was even more extraordinary than he imagined.


    Ye Yuan knew that he could not escape anymore and simply gave up resistance.


    At this time, Qin Zhaoyun trio finally caught up.


    Seeing the situation, Qin Zhaoyun burst into laughter and said, "Brat, aren''t you very good at running? Run for me to see!"


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "Ate a face-full of dust following behind your little lord, still dare to bullshit. Your skin is really thick enough!"


    Qin Zhaoyun''s face fell and he said fiercely, "Brat, you''re courting death!"


    Qin Zhaoyun did not say another word, directly smacking a palm at Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    The powerful attack force seemed to have hit onto a ball of sponge. Ye Yuan was entangled by the power of the world and could not avoid it at all, forcefully receiving this palm.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan spewed fresh blood wildly from his mouth, his body drifting down toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.


    But the power of the world still wrapped around him, making him float in the air and not land.


    If not for the power of the world withstanding most of the power, Ye Yuan would already be a dead man right away no.


    "Heh, brat, weren''t you very arrogant just now? Be arrogant again for me to see!"


    Qin Zhaoyun''s move succeeding, he immediately felt unusually liberated.


    "Old dog! You remember it for me, all of this today, this young lord will return it a hundred-fold in the future!" Ye Yuan glared and said through gnashed teeth.


    "Heh heh, are you, brat, still dreaming? Even Lord Qin Xiao has taken action. You still think you have a future?" Qin Zhaoyun said with a smug look.


    The moment Qin Zhaoyun''s words came out, not just Ye Yuan, Zhao Yi and Wen Yiyang''s expressions changed.


    The city lord was actually surnamed Qin!


    This way, everything could be explained!


    No wonder these few years, the Qin Family summoned the wind and commanded the rain in Wu Meng Capital City, suppressing the other major families, outshining the others.


    No wonder the Qin Family''s disciples were so cocky, but the City Lord Manor turned a blind eye to it.


    Everything originated from the city lord''s surname!


    "Zhaoyun, you spoke too much!"


    An icy-cold voice sounded out. A mighty middle-aged man walked out of the void.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent. This middle-aged man was precisely that middle-aged man he saw during the entrance examination!


    Seeing Qin Xiao, Qin Zhaoyun''s expression involuntarily changed and he said with a bow, "Yes, City Lord, Your Excellency! Zhaoyun knows his mistake!"


    Qin Xiao grunted his assent and said coolly, "This city lord is the Qin Family''s foster son and not a member of the Qin Family Clan. After you all hear it today, you''re not allowed to mention it to others again!"


    Feeling Qin Xiao''s profound gaze, Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi both got a shock and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, City Lord, Your Excellency!"


    In Wu Meng Capital City, Qin Xiao virtually did not show face in front of people. No one knew his surname before either.


    This matter, probably even Qin Tiannan did not know.


    Only Qin Zhaoyun, this kind of Qin Family''s top existence, knew Qin Xiao''s true identity.


    More than 100 thousand years ago, Qin Xiao received the Qin Family''s great kindness, that was how he had today''s accomplishments.


    It was just that far too long had passed, no one remembered it anymore.


    Qin Xiao slowly turned around, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, "Ye Yuan, your talent is outstanding, your future accomplishments will surely surpass this city lord''s in the future. It''s too bad, you shouldn''t have become enemies with the Qin Family."


    Ye Yuan glared at Qin Xiao and did not have the slightest fear toward a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse as he spat and said, "Pooh! You can''t tell right from wrong, condoning the Qin Family to engage in lawlessness. You''re not worthy of being the city lord! If I''d know it would come to this, this young lord should have cleaved that Four-star divine pill back then with a sword, so as to avoid feeding a dog!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Wen Yiyang and Zhao Yi were both shocked hearing it. There was actually someone who dared to speak this way to a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    This boy was really lawless and unbridled!


    Rather, Qin Zhaoyun sneered coldly in his heart.


    Scold, the more viciously you scold, the faster you die!


    However, Qin Xiao''s self-restraint was much better than Ye Yuan imagined.


    He just said coolly, "The Qin Family was kind to me, what''s wrong with this city lord doing so? After coming back from the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, this city lord already hinted to you to not be enemies with the Qin Family, but you were impervious to reason and advice. Not only did you remain impenitent, you actually went from bad to worse!"


    Ye Yuan burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Remain impenitent? Hahaha �� really making your grandfather die of laughter! Who the hell are you, to dare make Grandpa Ye repent?"


    The three people at the back quaked in their boots listening. This Ye Yuan was really too wild. That was a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, a god-like existence!


    Don''t look at how the three of them were all half-step Divine Lord Realm, in front of a Divine Lord Realm, it was completely not enough to look at.


    Divine Lord Realm powerhouses opened up a small world and possessed the augmentation of the power of the world. It was completely not what Divine Dao Three Realms people were able to imagine.


    The closer one was to the Divine Lord Realm, the more awe they had toward this realm!


    People able to reach this step, not one was not a peerless genius.


    However, Ye Yuan did not place Qin Xiao in his eyes at all!


    Qin Xiao swept a glance over Ye Yuan and said coolly, "This world is originally the strong reigning supreme! I control a region of the world, taking charge of a capital city. I ask you to repent, you have to repent! The outcome of not repenting �� is death!"


    Finished talking, Qin Xiao lightly tapped a finger out. A terrifying aura instantly condensed.


    Qin Zhaoyun trio all had solemn looks when they saw this.


    This was the strength of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    "Now is the time!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, his figure suddenly bursting forth, rushing out like an arrow that had left the string.


    Qin Zhaoyun trio had stunned looks. Qin Xiao''s gaze turned intent too.


    Ye Yuan actually broke through his power of the world!


    An initial-stage Heaven Glimpse brat actually broke through a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse''s power of the world!


    This �� This was simply an unthinkable thing!


    This matter was even more astonishing than Ye Yuan killing five great geniuses.


    Ye Yuan urged divine essence to the limit, fleeing desperately.


    Resigning himself to death had never been his, Ye Yuan''s, style.


    As long as there was a trace of hope, he would put in 100% effort!


    The so-called power of the world was merely a type of application of Heavenly Dao.


    It seemed profound and unfathomable, but Ye Yuan had the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    He was shouting abuses with Qin Xiao and the rest on the surface. Actually, he was secretly communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain the entire time.


    He could imitate the Sky Foothill World''s Heavenly Dao, he could naturally break apart Qin Xiao''s power of the world!


    After being thunderstricken, the corner of Qin Xiao''s mouth smiled coldly and he said, "Somewhat interesting, but �� it''s useless!"


    While talking, Qin Xiao took a step out, instantly moving a thousand miles!


    Ye Yuan''s speed was already quick to the extreme but was instantly surpassed by Qin Xiao!


    "I very much want to see just what secrets you have on you." Qin Xiao smiled as he pointed a finger. Ye Yuan felt that the entire world was crushing toward him.


    Swoosh!


    Qin Xiao''s gaze turned intent. Ye Yuan actually disappeared before his eyes!

 1459 Sowing Cause Begets Effect, Sowing Karma Begets Frui

    A vast power of the world suddenly burst out, colliding together with Qin Xiao''s power of the world.


    Boom!


    A terrifying undulation rippled out, directly sending Qin Zhaoyun trio flying out.


    The three people were actually seriously injured being caught off-guard.


    Fortunately, they were far enough away. Otherwise, just this aftershock alone was sufficient to kill them.


    The showdown between Divine Lord Realm powerhouses was dreadfully powerful.


    Qin Xiao''s gaze turned intent, revealing an extremely surprised look.


    Qin Xiao said in surprise, "It''s actually you!"


    The arrival said coolly, "Otherwise, who do you think it will be?"


    Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head as he said, "I didn''t expect that Han Tian didn''t break through first, but you broke through first. It really surprised me! No wonder you were in seclusion for so many years, it was actually to assault the Divine Lord Realm!"


    When Qin Zhaoyun trio saw that figure facing Qin Xiao from far away, the astonishment in their gazes could not be any greater.


    They never dreamed that this person actually broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!


    In Wu Meng Capital City, there were four great half-step Divine Lord powerhouses.


    Everyone all felt that these four half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were the most promising to break through to Divine Lord Realm.


    But no one could have expected that this person actually broke through.


    This person was none other than precisely the Myriad Treasure Tower''s chief alchemist who had already been in closed-seclusion for several decades, Xiao Feng!


    Several decades of closed-seclusion made everyone virtually almost forget this person.


    However, when he exited seclusion again, he was actually on a completely different level from them already.


    Qin Zhaoyun trio looked at Xiao Feng''s figure, their faces full of envy and puzzlement.


    Why was this person Xiao Feng and not them?


    Xiao Feng said coolly, "For this old man to be able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, it was all thanks to Little Friend Ye Yuan. Hope that City Lord Your Excellency will give Ye Yuan a way out on the account of this old man''s face."


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces, inclusive of Qin Xiao, all changed.


    Xiao Feng breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm was actually related to Ye Yuan?


    No wonder the Myriad Treasure Tower shielded Ye Yuan like that. It turned out that it was actually this reason!


    Back then, Xiao Feng seemed to have personally made a trip to Jewelhill City. After coming back, he directly announced closed-seclusion.


    Could it be that �� Ye Yuan really had this kind of magic power, to actually be able to help others break through to the Divine Lord Realm?


    Qin Zhaoyun trio exchanged glances, gazes all revealing a scorching look.


    Divine Lord Realm was seriously too tempting to the three of them.


    Qin Xiao''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a faint smile, "According to Heavenly Emperor His Excellency''s rules, since you already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, you shouldn''t stay in my Wu Meng Capital City anymore, right?"


    Xiao Feng''s face sunk and he said, "After this matter, this Xiao will naturally leave! But concerning Ye Yuan, this old man is protecting him for sure!"


    Because the Myriad Treasure Tower was an outside force, they naturally did not allow an existence in the city that could threaten the city lord.


    Otherwise, if the Myriad Treasure Tower placed a Celestial Deity powerhouse in the capital city, did the city lord have the final say, or did this celestial deity have the final say?


    Qin Xiao said with a smile on his face, "With just the likes of you, a Divine Lord Realm that just broke through, you want to be impudent in front of this city lord?"


    A dangerous scent spread out from Qin Xiao''s body, making Xiao Feng''s expression turned austere.


    Although Xiao Feng broke through to Divine Lord Realm, he had just broken through after all.


    While Qin Xiao had already remained in Divine Lord Realm, this realm, for no idea how many years.


    If they really had a life-and-death struggle, Xiao Feng was clearly not a match.


    Xiao Feng''s face fell and he said, "As long as you let Ye Yuan go, you can state any terms!"


    Qin Xiao said coolly, "You don''t have the qualifications to discuss terms with this city lord! Today, this Ye Yuan, you have to hand over regardless! Otherwise �� your Myriad Treasure Tower can probably close up shop in Wu Meng Capital City."


    Xiao Feng discerned it, this Qin Xiao had eaten a weight and steeled his heart. It was impossible to let Ye Yuan go.


    He took a deep breath, his mind stirred. Ye Yuan''s figure was let out.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, appearing in the Heavenspan World once more.


    In that instant earlier, Ye Yuan was taken into the small world Xiao Feng hewed open.


    "Elder Brother Xiao! You �� You actually really broke through!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Feng rather surprisedly. He felt his eyes blur straight away just now, arriving at a foreign world, and completely did not know who saved him.


    Only now seeing Xiao Feng did he come to a realization.


    Seeing Xiao Feng let Ye Yuan out, Qin Xiao and Qin Zhaoyun were both very pleased with themselves.


    It looked like he had to hand Ye Yuan over due to pressure.


    After all, making a massive Myriad Treasure Tower close up for a measly little Heaven Glimpse Realm was not worthwhile!


    Xiao Feng said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "Huhu, this is all thanks to you! Back then, if not for you giving a pointer or two, this old man probably still can''t touch the door until now!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No no, it''s Elder Brother Xiao''s thick accumulations erupting. It was merely adding flowers to embroidery. Congratulations, Elder Brother Xiao!"


    Xiao Feng''s expression dimmed and he said with a sigh, "Younger Brother, it''s Elder Brother who is useless. Even if I broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, I''m powerless to do anything today as well!"


    These two people, one asking and one answering, titanic waves stirred in the hearts of Qin Xiao and the rest.


    A Grotto Profound Deity Realm brat giving pointers to a peak grand completion Origin Deity Realm powerhouse, and even let him break through to the Divine Lord Realm?


    If not for hearing it with their own ears, they would definitely think that this world was crazy.


    Even Qin Zhaoyun also could not resist shouting in his heart at this time: you come and give pointers to me!


    If he could break through to Divine Lord Realm, he would even be willing to let go of the enmity.


    Except �� under this kind of circumstance now, it was already not what he could make the decision.


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised look. He said with a smile, "For Elder Brother Xiao to be able to come, this Ye has already received this kindness."


    Xiao Feng nodded his head, turned to Qin Xiao, and said, "From this day on, the Myriad Treasure Tower will withdraw from Wu Meng Capital City! Younger Brother Ye, this Xiao will send you a part of the way, the back �� will depend on your fortunes!"


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he was wrapped in a majestic power of the world, flying out no idea how far.


    This scene caught Qin Xiao off-guard.


    "Xiao Feng, you!"


    Xiao Feng said indifferently, "Although this old man isn''t your match, for you to want to shake this old man off, it''s also not what can be done in a short time. Moreover �� do you dare to kill this old man?"


    Qin Xiao could not help choking when he heard that. He really did not dare!


    With Qin Xiao''s status, killing one or two Origin Deity martial artists, the Myriad Treasure Tower naturally would not say much.


    But Xiao Feng was already a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse now. To the Myriad Treasure Tower, he was no longer insignificant.


    Qin Xiao had always had a calm and collected look. But now, his expression was incomparably ugly.


    He did not think that Xiao Feng was actually so decisive, directly pulling the Myriad Treasure Tower out from Wu Meng Capital City.


    Withdrawing out of a capital city, the Myriad Treasure Tower''s losses would be too great.


    "You actually made this kind of decision for a Heaven Glimpse Realm junior, are you mad?" Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and said.


    Xiao Feng said coolly, "Men have principles to adhere to and baselines. Sowing cause begets effect, sowing karma begets fruit. In the past, Ye Yuan helped me to break through. That''s how there''s my action of repaying gratitude today. How do you know that my action today won''t have a time for harvest in the future?"


    Qin Xiao''s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing aghast.


    "What are the few of you still in a daze for?! Still not chasing for me?! I want to see the person if alive, the corpse if dead!" Qin Xiao roared.

 1460 Are You Very Pleased With Yourself?

    In the boundless wilderness, three figures were currently advancing with extreme speed.


    These three people''s auras were imposing. The surrounding fierce beasts clamored to give a wide berth.


    "This damn brat, his life is really tenacious! He can even manage to escape like this!" Qin Zhaoyun gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said.


    Qin Zhaoyun trio chased all the way and finally could not support a prolonged flight. Hence, they landed on the ground to chase.


    He never thought that Xiao Feng actually broke through to the Divine Lord Realm.


    Even more unexpected, Xiao Feng would actually have no qualms about letting the Myriad Treasure Tower withdraw from Wu Meng Capital City in order to protect Ye Yuan.


    Along the way, Qin Zhaoyun stomped his feet in anger but was helpless to do anything too.


    "But he definitely didn''t think that we can track his location through the academy token! Xiao Feng''s action is destined to be in vain!" Zhao Yi said in a solemn voice.


    With this, Qin Zhaoyun''s fury turned into joy again as he said, "Heh, the three of us half-step Divine Lords chasing down a Heaven Glimpse Realm brat, this is also too disgraceful! This brat already ceased all activities in order to not draw people''s attention and don''t dare to ride the sword to fly anymore. It''s just that he doesn''t know that this way, it is exactly what we want."


    Xiao Feng''s magical ability was insufficient to send Ye Yuan out of Wu Meng Capital City''s sphere of influence.


    At this time, Wu Meng Capital City already announced to the world, putting Ye Yuan at large within the entire Wu Meng Capital City''s radius.


    If Ye Yuan wanted to escape, he could not fly in the air in a flagrant manner. That way, the target was too conspicuous.


    Wen Yiyang let out a sigh and said, "I really didn''t expect that Xiao Feng was actually a step ahead of us, breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm! He didn''t even reach half-step Divine Lord Realm. Just what kind of method did Ye Yuan use, to make him break through to become a Divine Lord?"


    One sentence made the other two people''s good mood instantly dissipate into thin air.


    The few of them had been stuck at this realm for an uncertain number of years already.


    Half a step away, but seemingly as far as from the ground to the horizon; forever unable to cross.


    However, Xiao Feng actually caught up from behind and surpassed those in front, directly breaking through to Divine Lord Realm. How could they accept this?


    Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Thinking so much for what? When we capture that boy, will we still need to be scared of not being able to pry open his mouth?"


    Sure enough, Qin Zhaoyun''s words made the two people''s eyes light up.


    "What Brother Qin said is right! The three of our foundations are much better than Xiao Feng''s. As long as there''s that little bit, we''re absolutely able to break through to Divine Lord Realm!" Zhao Yi said excitedly.


    Qin Zhaoyun smiled and said, "Then still waiting for what? That boy should be not far in front now, about to enter the range of Crowlight City. Once we let him escape from Crowlight City, we''d have to expend some more effort to catch him."


    The two people voiced their assent, displaying their movement techniques and chasing after.


    Crowlight City was the border-most county of Wu Meng Capital City. If Ye Yuan left from here, he would enter other capital cities'' sphere of influence.


    Although the capital cities belonged to an imperial city, they each dominated a region, neither interfering with the other.


    Once Ye Yuan left, it would naturally cause considerable trouble.


    ...


    Three days later, on the frontier of Crowlight City, a figure was currently running at great speed.


    Suddenly, three figures descended from the sky, blocking all of that figure''s escape routes.


    Qin Zhaoyun had a smug look as he said with a laugh, "Truly a shame! Just that little bit more! Although it took a bit of trouble, we caught you at any rate. Why, are you very surprised?"


    Wen Yiyang let out a sigh and said, "Ye Yuan, the order of the ruler is hard to defy. Come back with us."


    But Zhao Yi''s gaze was scorching as he said, "Brat, hand over the method to break through to Divine Lord Realm and we''ll spare you from death!"


    Ye Yuan had no joy nor sorrow being surrounded by the three people in the center and did not despair like they imagined.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Zhaoyun and spat, "Surprised your uncle! You dumbass! Just based on your bit of trick and you also want to capture Grandpa Ye?"


    Qin Zhaoyun''s face turned black and was just about to fly off the handle, but saw Ye Yuan fish out the academy token, and started playing with it in his hand.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Zhaoyun with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Old dog, were you very pleased with yourself along the way? Did you feel that your Grandpa Ye couldn''t escape your palms? Just based on this toy?"


    Qin Zhaoyun''s heart thumped, suddenly feeling that the three of them seemed to have been duped!


    "This �� This is a clone?" Zhao Yi''s gaze turned intent and he said gloomily.


    Wen Yiyang let out a sigh and said, "We all overestimated him too much!"


    Ye Yuan sneered as he looked at Qin Zhaoyun and said, "Old dog, just you wait! When I, Ye Yuan, return, it will be the day your Qin Family is exterminated! You tell Qin Xiao, ask him to take good care of himself. Grandpa Ye will come and find him to settle scores before long!"


    Finished talking, with a bang, Ye Yuan immediately turned into a ball of flame.


    Gong!


    The academy token fell to the ground, giving off a crisp sound.


    Qin Zhaoyun gnashed his teeth until it rattled, furious until smoke billowed from all seven orifices.


    The three of them chased for close to a month''s time. They did not expect that he was actually a clone!


    "This brat is too cunning!" Zhao Yi also gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Originally, he was very much looking forward to the method to break through to the Divine Lord Realm. He did not expect that bustling about for a month, it was all for nothing.


    ...


    On another border of Wu Meng Capital City, Ye Yuan who was currently healing his wounds in a cave abruptly snapped open his eyes, the corners of his mouth revealing a mocking smile.


    How many ups and downs had Ye Yuan experienced before? How could he possibly make this kind of low-level mistake?


    Although Wu Meng Academy had never said before, how could Ye Yuan possibly bring this kind of hidden danger to him?


    Right away when Ye Yuan was sent out, he divided out the majority of his divine essence, creating a Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus clone, bringing the academy token and fleeing all the way.


    While his true self moved stealthily in another direction.


    Fiery already gave birth to a primordial spirit, Ye Yuan was unable to bring him to pass through the spatial storms.


    But the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus was the clone Ye Yuan refined. He brought it over.


    Through this close to 100 years, the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus already evolved to divine rank too. It was just that compared to Ye Yuan''s rate of progress, it was much slower.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was cautious, not revealing his traces, finally lurking to the borders.


    The series of great battles a month ago, Ye Yuan''s injuries were already very severe.


    Plus this one month of escaping, Ye Yuan piled on more injury on top of injury. Only recently did he find a hidden cave and went into a retreat to heal his wounds.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "I even thought that I was dead for sure this time. I didn''t expect that at the last juncture, Elder Brother Xiao actually broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, saving me."


    At this time, Dustless''s figure emerged and said, "Actually, it was you who saved yourself. It was you who helped him break through the Divine Lord Realm first, that he has the ability to come and save you. Perhaps, this is the circle of cause and effect!"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, I just felt that I got along well with him. I didn''t expect to actually have this kind of unexpected harvest. Sigh �� Miss Wanru is probably going to be disappointed. Also, there''s Little Fatty. I hope that he pulls himself together. Senior, this Wu Meng Capital City already doesn''t have a place for me to shelter myself. Where should I go?"


    Dustless said, "You can''t stay on within the boundary of the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. With the strength of a Divine Lord Realm, once Qin Xiao knows your whereabouts, killing you is just a matter of lifting a hand. This is a troublesome place, better get as far away as possible."

 1461 Ling Feng

    Tiderain City was a border-most county of River Eternal Imperial City.


    An imperial city bordering on River Eternal Imperial City was Eminent Orchid Imperial City.


    These two imperial cities belonged to different forces. River Eternal Imperial City belonged to a human race heavenly emperor force, while Eminent Orchid Imperial City belonged to a fiend race heavenly emperor force.


    The two imperial cities were mortal enemies, warring year-round, countless deaths and casualties.


    At this time, in a dense forest outside Tiderain City, there was a small team of human martial artists who were currently patrolling.


    Although these martial artists were Deity Realm powerhouses, each and every one of them was well-trained, wore standardized clothes, and had good coordination between their actions; not sloppy like those ordinary martial artists.


    "Captain, Lord Centurion is too biased. Why are the patrol missions assigned to our team each time always this kind of desolate place?"


    "Yeah. At this rate, how will we make military achievements?"


    "Captain, could it be that we''re just going to swallow our pride and endure in silence like this?"


    ...


    During the patrol, a group of Grotto Profound Realm soldiers was grumbling non-stop.


    The target they were complaining to was an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse officer.


    "All shut up for me! We''re all soldiers, not free and unruly cultivators! Wherever the senior officer wants us to go, we''ll go where. Where do you all have so much nonsense from?" the officer yelled coldly.


    Sure enough, the moment he flared up, the others immediately shriveled up.


    After a while, a soldier asked again, "Captain, we''re feeling sour for you! In terms of strength, in terms of qualifications, you''re stronger than Liu Changkong that fellow. On what basis that the credit each time is taken by him? Isn''t it just because he''s the centurion''s brother-in-law?"


    The officer''s face turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "These words, they can come out of your mouth and enter my ears! Keep talking nonsense about the platoon leader''s wrong and you''ll be punished by military law!"


    That soldier spat out his tongue and did not say anything any longer.


    "Mn? There''s someone!"


    The officer suddenly felt alarm bells go off in his heart, immediately making a hand gesture, having everyone be on guard.


    These people wandered the borders of life and death all year round and were very alert to danger.


    If there was a little movement ahead, they would be able to detect it.


    The cooperation between this small team''s members was very tacit, immediately turning into several afterimages, encircling over toward the target.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures landed on an open space. Seeing the situation here, they all had stunned looks.


    A young man who looked in his twenties was currently roasting a rabbit.


    A wisp of fragrance drifted by. The few people''s salivae all could not resist dripping down.


    Seeing these few people suddenly appear, the young man did not look the least bit surprised at all, but instead smiled and said, "Officers seem to be patrolling, you''ve worked hard. Want to try it?"


    When the officer saw that it was a human race young man, his nervous emotion also relaxed.


    This young man''s realm was not low. He was already initial-stage Heaven Glimpse. But it was very disdainful in the officer''s eyes.


    In his view, this young man was definitely a disciple of a large family in the inner-city coming out to train and temper without knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.


    This guy actually took this place to be his own home''s backyard garden, roasting a rabbit here to eat. He really did not know how the word death was written.


    "Do you know what place this is?" The officer did not buy it in the slightest and questioned with a cold snort.


    The young man tore off a piece of rabbit meat, took two bites, and said smilingly, "I really don''t know what place this place is."


    The officer''s brows furrowed, clearly disliking the young man very much.


    Such a flippant fellow, served him right to die here.


    Boom!


    The officer raised his hand and dealt a palm, directly blasting the grilling rack to residue.


    "Humph! The back of this large mountain is the territory of the fiend race. You actually dared to roast rabbit meat here and eat, really don''t know how the word death is written! If you don''t want to die, immediately get lost for me right now!" said the officer with a cold snort.


    Although this young man''s realm was more or less the same as his, he did not take this young man seriously at all.


    These soldiers who fought at close quarters with the fiend race all year round, wandered the borders of life and death year in and year out, and were much stronger than same rank martial artists.


    This young man was a young master who had never seen the world before with one glance. Going on the battlefield and getting surrounded by a few Grotto Profound Realm fiends, he might be ground to death.


    The officer was originally displeased with the young man already. This kind of courting death action might very likely attract the enemy. He even thought that the other party would get angry, then he would take the chance to teach the other party a lesson.


    Not only did the young man not get angry, but he also grinned instead and said, "You said that opposite is the fiend race''s territory? Heh, great, this forest is too vast, I lost my way inside and even thought that I went the wrong direction. I didn''t expect that I found it by stumbling about blindly. Oh, right, which army are you all from? Do you still take people or not?"


    "Hahaha �� with just the likes of you, you wouldn''t survive past ten breaths going on the battlefield, still want to join us?"


    "Don''t look at how you''re initial-stage Heaven Glimpse; the ten of us attacking you together can bring you down. Do you believe that?"


    "Kid, go back where you came from. A flower in a greenhouse like you isn''t suited to come to this kind of place!"


    ...


    The young man''s words immediately aroused a wave of loud guffaws from the team members.


    The officer shot him a glance rather surprisedly and said, "What''s your name? Why do you want to join the army?"


    The young man smiled and said, "I''m called Ye Yuan! Heard that the fiend race experts'' evil doings know no limits, wreaking havoc in River Eternal Imperial City. I also want to contribute to the human race."


    This young man was none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who rushed to River Eternal Imperial City from far away!


    At this time, three years had already passed since Ye Yuan escaped from Wu Meng Capital City.


    And River Eternal Imperial City was precisely Ye Yuan''s destination.


    If Ye Yuan wanted to find Qin Xiao to take revenge, he had to increase his strength quickly.


    And the best way to increase his strength was naturally to engage in battles.


    Hence, under Dustless''s suggestion, Ye Yuan came to the intersection of the human and fiend, two great heavenly emperors'' territories, which was this River Eternal Imperial City.


    And Eminent Orchid Imperial City precisely belonged under Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang command!


    Ye Yuan coming to this side was also hoping to investigate regarding Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, as well as information about the main culprit behind sending Kanuo into the Immortal Grove World back then.


    Arriving in this region, Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to ride his sword and fly, blatantly seeking publicity.


    Once he attracted the fiend race''s powerhouses, he would die without even knowing how he died.


    Therefore, he lost his way in this dense forest.


    He did not expect that he just happened to run into this team patrolling.


    The officer patted Ye Yuan''s shoulder and said, "Not bad, kid, got guts! But �� got to have strength too! Don''t look at how your realm is similar to mine, do you believe that I can take you down with one move or not?"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to argue over it with him either, saying with a smile, "Huhu, can tell that Elder Brother''s strength is formidable! But, got to at least give me a chance to train and experience too, no?"


    These words were not flattery either. He could feel that this officer''s vitality was powerful, divine essence condensed. His strength likely far surpassed those in the same rank.


    The officer thought about it and felt that what Ye Yuan said was reasonable too, saying with a nod, "Fine, then you go back to the barracks with us. But, I''ll get the unpleasantness out of the way first, joining the military camp requires a test. Whether or not you can pass will depend on you."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s of course!"


    The officer nodded and said, "I''m called Ling Feng, you can call me Captain Ling."


    While talking, Ling Feng''s expression changed. A hundred figures dashed out of the dense forest, immediately surrounding their team!

 1462 Completely Annihilated

    A group of soldiers dressed in black armor surrounded Ye Yuan and the rest.


    Fiendish energy surged on these people''s bodies. They were actually all fiend race powerhouses.


    "Jeje, there''s actually someone who lit a fire near Fiend Calling Ridge, really heedless of the consequences!"


    "Turns out it''s a human race''s small squad. No matter how small the mosquito, it''s meat too. Annihilate them all."


    Ling Feng''s expression became dark. He did not expect to actually be able to bump into the fiend race''s squad in this area. Furthermore, it was five in one go!


    The other party had five Heaven Glimpse Realm existences. Clearly, it was five fiend race squads.


    But when the other human soldiers heard, they all could not resist glaring at Ye Yuan.


    If not for Ye Yuan courting death and starting a fire and roasting meat, it also would not draw the fiend race squads.


    "Damn fellow, you''re still in the mood to eat barbecue!" A human soldier gritted his teeth in anger.


    Being surrounded by the fiend race squads, Ye Yuan''s first reaction was not to be scared but to hastily eat the rabbit meat.


    This action made the human squad members gnash their teeth in hatred even more.


    Ling Feng said in a solemn voice, "Don''t talk nonsense anymore! The situation is not quite right. The Fiend Calling Ridge has a huge natural moat with a strange metamagnetic field existing there. Even if peak Origin Magnetic Field powerhouses descended from the natural moat area, they would fall and be smashed to pieces too! Logically speaking, the fiend race squads will not appear here. There must be some conspiracy involved! Zhao Bin, your movement technique is the fastest. In a while, we''ll break through toward the southwest direction. Everyone cover him to charge out, let him go back and report!"


    "Captain, I''m not going ��"


    "Shut up, this is an order! If you don''t want us to die in vain, bring this intel back!" Zhao Bin was just about to speak when Ling Feng yelled fiercely.


    At this time, a fiend race''s captain sneered coldly and said, "You''re very smart. We''ve already found the way to overcome the metamagnetic field. The battalion will charge over from this side very soon. At that time, Tiderain City is ours! As for you all �� all of you can forget about leaving!"


    Ling Feng''s expression flickered incessantly. This intel was a bolt out of the blue to Tiderain City.


    Fiend Calling Ridge this region did not only have large numbers of Three-star fierce beasts existing, but the back of the mountain also had a 100 thousand miles long natural moat.


    Inside this natural moat existed a natural metamagnetic field. Unless one reached the Divine Lord Realm, otherwise, there was completely no way to cross. It was Tiderain City''s natural protective defense.


    Hence, each time they patrolled, this side was all routine business. Everyone came over to walk one round and then went back.


    But now, the fiend race actually found a way to avoid those fierce beasts. This was not some good news for the human race.


    A hint of decisiveness flashed across in Ling Feng''s eyes and he said in a cold voice, "What needs to be done, don''t need me to teach you guys, right?"


    "Understood!" A glimmer of solemness and melancholy flashed across the others'' faces as they responded.


    After that, Ling Feng''s gaze looked towards the Ye Yuan who was currently gnawing on rabbit meat again, his expression slightly complicated as he said, "Kid, in a while, good luck to you! Whether or not you can survive will depend on your fortunes."


    At this time, Ye Yuan finally finished gnawing on the rabbit meat in his hands and belched satisfactorily, smiling and saying, "Relax, I can take good care of myself."


    "Jeje, there''s actually still an idiot on the human''s side."


    "Huhu, this kid probably still hasn''t figured out the situation, right?"


    "Mu Feng, leave that kid to you, finish the fight fast!"


    "Relax, dealing with this kind of rookie, three moves is enough!"


    The fiend race''s group clearly discerned that Ye Yuan was not the same party as those human soldiers.


    Their vision was the same as Ling Feng, feeling that Ye Yuan was some large family clan''s disciple with one glance. Although his realm was high, he could not take a single hit at all.


    Mu Feng slowly stepped out of the ranks, looking at Ye Yuan with an amused look as he said with a cold smile, "Kid, your flesh and blood is pretty good. Just nice, it can give your Grandpa Mu Feng to cultivate. Rest assured, Grandpa Mu Feng''s blow is very light and won''t let you feel pain."


    The flesh and blood of human powerhouses was a great tonic to the fiend race.


    Many fiend race cultivation methods borrowed the power of flesh and blood to cultivate.


    Precisely because so that fiend race powerhouses liked to carry out slaughter against human powerhouses.


    "Careful, concealed weapon!" Ye Yuan smiled strangely, the remaining bone in his hand flying out directly.


    Whoosh!


    Mu Feng, who was currently being pleased with himself, did not expect Ye Yuan to attack when he said so.


    He instinctively wanted to avoid it, but that bone''s speed was too fast. He actually could not avoid it in time!


    Slap!


    That bone struck Mu Feng''s face without deviation.


    A greasy feeling immediately made Mu Feng burn with rage.


    "Hahaha!"


    This scene immediately incurred a bout of loud laughter.


    A bone naturally would not cause any damage to Mu Feng. But in front of so many people, where would he put his face?!


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Sigh, already asked you to be careful, why were you still so careless?"


    Mu Feng''s teeth chattered from gnashing, clearly already infuriated to the extreme.


    "Good! Very good! Kid, Grandpa Mu Feng will let you know what''s called a life worse than death!" Mu Feng said in a cold voice.


    "Stop playing, attack together, eradicate them!" said another captain in a cold voice.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Five fiend race squads, several dozen people rushed over at the same time, the impetus was quite astonishing.


    Ling Feng''s expression changed, the smile from before immediately disappeared without a trace as he bellowed, "Kill!"


    This team of around ten people protected that soldier called Zhao Bin in the middle, desperately breaking through to the outside.


    But how could those fiend race soldiers give them the chance?


    The remaining four fiend race captains burst forth, all charging towards Ling Feng.


    The fiend race warriors were powerhouses to begin with. Ling Feng fighting four-on-one immediately felt a pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas.


    Ling Feng already mustered up divine essence, prepared to meet the enemy.


    But right at this time, those four fiend race captains suddenly directly exploded before his eyes, even the fiendish essence did not escape.


    Ling Feng was utterly dumbstruck with amazement. What happened?


    Suddenly, Ling Feng''s entire body trembled, looking over in Ye Yuan''s direction, discovering that the Mu Feng opposite him was already nowhere to be found too, without even leaving behind dregs.


    Could it �� Could it be done by him?


    Impossible!


    How could an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse possible one-shot five fiend race captains?


    Forget about Ye Yuan, even their centurion could not possibly do this either!


    However, apart from these five people, there were still quite a number of fiend race soldiers. Ling Feng just was just slightly absent-minded for a moment, then joined the camp of slaughtering those fiends.


    "You fiend dogs, to dare profane my human race, die!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan shouted loudly and joined the group battle too.


    This time, Ling Feng saw Ye Yuan attack, immediately feeling his eyes light up.


    You don''t say, his strength was really not weak.


    But, to say insta-killing four great fiend race captains in one move, that was clearly impossible.


    Two might Heaven Glimpse powerhouses facing a bunch of Grotto Profound Realm fiends, that was naturally a massacre.


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique was exceedingly fast. Those fiends who wanted to escape were directly slaughtered clean by him.


    This battle''s reversal was too sudden. Everyone originally harbored the resolve of certain death. In the end, the other party was completely annihilated in a blink of an eye ��

 1463 Investigation

    Seeing this battle result, Ling Feng was somewhat dazed too.


    It was seriously too unexpected, making him have a feeling like he was dreaming.


    Five great Heaven Glimpse powerhouses instantly all annihilated, the battle situation reversing instantly. He did not understand what happened at all.


    "Haha, Captain, we actually didn''t die!"


    "Wonder which senior made a move, to actually directly insta-kill five fiend race captains."


    "I was scared until my hands were shaking a little just now. Didn''t expect that in a blink, they were all wiped out. Really awesome!"


    ...


    The soldiers were all incomparably excited. This feeling of surviving a disaster was really too good.


    They had long become indifferent to life and death already, but it did not mean that they were willing to go and die.


    Ling Feng''s face also revealed a look of joy as he said with a smile, "Zhao Bin, Wang Long, the few of you go and gather up the spoils of war. This place isn''t suited to stay for long, let''s hurry up and leave."


    "Alright!" The few people voiced their assent, going to collect the spoils of war gleefully.


    Ling Feng came to Ye Yuan''s side and smiled as he patted his shoulder and said, "Kid, good skills! I apologize to you, it was me who looked down on you previously."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Captain Ling is really formidable, this Ye admires!"


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this Ling Feng was very open and forthright, directly apologizing to him.


    But this Ling Feng''s strength was indeed very powerful. Even fighting one-on-one with those fiend race captains, he probably would not fall into a disadvantage either.


    Ling Feng smiled as he waved his hand and said, "This was all trained in the battlefield. Your foundation is much better than mine. Your strength in the future will definitely be above mine. Oh, right, did you see clearly just now, who was it that took action to kill those five fiend race captains?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don''t know either. That Mu Feng was just about to attack me when his entire person exploded."


    Ling Feng''s eyes revealed a disappointed look and said, "Looks like it was a passing human race powerhouse who couldn''t endure the sight of it, and he made a move to help us. To be able to instantly one-shot five fiend race captains, I''m afraid that he''s at the very least an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "It should be like this."


    The battle previously, all the fiend race soldiers'' targets were all placed on Ling Feng and the rest, resulting in no one paying attention to Ye Yuan at all.


    That Mu Feng did not have the slightest strength to retaliate in front of Ye Yuan and was instantly one-shotted.


    After that, Ye Yuan released four Sundering Stars in an instant, eradicating the other four fiend race captains.


    However, Ye Yuan did not plan on displaying his strength in front of Ling Feng. Because experts on the battlefield were too many. It was better to keep a low-profile.


    The war between the two imperial cities, Grotto Profound Deity Realm experts could only be ordinary soldiers. Even initial-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses were merely just a small captain too.


    The cruelty and dangers on the battlefield could be seen at a glance.


    Ye Yuan was strong among martial artists in the same rank. But with his current strength, once he ran into grand completion Heaven Glimpse, even Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, that would be dangerous.


    The more high-profile on the battlefield, the faster one died.


    "Captain, the battlefield is cleaned up. Heh, our harvest in this fight isn''t small!"


    Everyone gathered up the spoils of war, each and every one of the faces very pleased.


    Military exploits in the army were calculated according to the fiend race tokens they obtained.


    Their squad exterminating five fiend race squads all at once this time, it was a considerable military achievement.


    As for storage rings, these spoils of war, it all belonged to the individual.


    But the army on the human race''s side had strict orders not to practice the fiend race''s cultivation methods and some taboo medicinal pills. Otherwise, kill without mercy!


    Apart from this, with these military exploits, everyone could even obtain better cultivation resources, using them to improve their strength.


    Ling Feng nodded his head and said, "Let''s hurry up and go! Just now, that fiend race captain said, there''s still a battalion coming from behind. It''s likely going to ambush Tiderain City. Let''s hurry back to report the news. Younger Brother Ye, since you want to join the army, then go back together with us."


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed obtained Ling Feng''s recognition. He was also much more courteous when speaking.


    But Ye Yuan fell silent for a moment and did not reply immediately.


    Ling Feng was slightly surprised as he said, "Why? Does Younger Brother Ye have any concerns?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not really concerns, but I feel that we should split into two paths right now."


    The moment Ling Feng heard, he could not help becoming interested and asked, "Oh? What idea do you have?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Whether what those fiend race captains said is true or not is still to be confirmed. After all, we didn''t see it with our own eyes. Also, what kind of method the fiend race used to cross the Fiend Calling Ridge, this intel should all be investigated clearly. If we know their methods, perhaps we can imitate them and give him a huge surprise. Therefore, I feel that we should split one force to go back and report, the other force to continue deep into the Fiend Calling Ridge and investigate thoroughly."


    Ye Yuan said this and discovered that everyone all strange gazes to look at him.


    "Look at me like that for what? Do I have flowers on my face?" Ye Yuan touched his nose and said innocently.


    Ling Feng looked at Ye Yuan with eyes like looking at a monster and sighed with admiration as he said, "Younger Brother Ye truly has the style of a great general. These things, I never considered them. You thought it out comprehensively! What you said is right, they aren''t prepared right now, us going to investigate the intel is the most suitable. Zhao Bin, you return to the city right now and bring the news over here back. The others follow me to Fiend Calling Ridge!"


    The others also looked at Ye Yuan with admiration. They discovered that they all underestimated this young man.


    They all regarded themselves as foot soldiers, only minding their own business.


    While Ye Yuan could consider problems from the height of the overall situation. This manner was not what they could compare to.


    Zhao Bin was just about to leave, but Ye Yuan said, "Captain Ling, let them all go back. Fiend Calling Ridge, just the two of us go!"


    "Mn?"


    "We''re going to investigate, not fight it out. Numbers might be easier to expose instead. If we''re really discovered, it''s easier for the two of us to want to escape instead," Ye Yuan explained.


    Ling Feng thought about it and said with a nod, "What Younger Brother Ye said is true, but �� better I go alone then. Younger Brother, Ye, you go back together with them. You aren''t considered a member of the army yet currently, making you go and take risks isn''t too appropriate."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since this Ye ran into everyone, I need to join with some display of loyalty too. My movement technique is still alright, I won''t drag Captain Ling down."


    Ling Feng mused for a moment and said with a nod, "Okay, Younger Brother Ye is righteous, then we''ll act together. Zhao Bin, you bring the others back."


    But Zhao Bin and the rest were indignant and grumbled, "Captain, my movement technique is passable too, let me go together with you."


    "Captain, I''m following you too!"


    "I''ll go too!"


    ...


    Ling Feng''s face fell and he said, "All shut up for me! This is an order, all get lost for me!"


    Seeing Ling Feng really flared up, the others did not dare to shoot their mouth off anymore, all leaving awkwardly.


    "This bunch of bastards, one day of not scolding them and they will feel uncomfortable all over!" Ling Feng scolded with a smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled too and said, "All are a bunch of good brothers, they are worried about your safety."


    Ling Feng chuckled and said, "Why wouldn''t I know? But what you said is right, this kind of thing, they''ll drag us down if they went too. Let''s go!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed after him.

 1464 Jumping off a Cliff

    In the dense forest, two figures were currently shuttling through at high speed.


    Along the way, Ling Feng also had the intention of testing Ye Yuan, deliberately speeding up his footsteps.


    Moving through inside this dense forest, just movement technique being fast was useless. It had an extremely high requirement for the martial artist''s responsiveness.


    Ling Feng they all patrolled this area all year round and were very familiar with the terrain here. Hence, his speed was also particularly fast.


    He urged his speed to the limits and sprinted wildly for a long way, thinking in his mind that he shook Ye Yuan off a certain distance before slowing down his footsteps.


    But when he turned around to look, he could not help getting startled.


    Ye Yuan was like a ghost and had actually been following not far behind him all along.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    He actually completely did not sense Ye Yuan''s existence earlier.


    If Ye Yuan dealt him a sword from behind, he would already be a corpse at this time!


    Seeing Ling Feng''s expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I said before, my movement technique is still alright, I won''t hold you back."


    Ling Feng smiled rather embarrassedly and said, "Younger Brother Ye has fine skills, this Ling really made an error of judgment."


    He discovered that he really underestimated Ye Yuan. At least in this dense forest, to be able to keep up with him noiselessly, it was absolutely not what the average initial-stage Heaven Glimpse could accomplish.


    Just based on this, Ye Yuan had the qualifications to enter the army.


    With Ye Yuan''s skill, he would absolutely be an expert in going to investigate enemy intel.


    Ling Feng was very familiar with the route, bringing Ye Yuan to make a big detour, finally climbing up to the Fiend Calling Ridge''s summit.


    The spectacular scenery before their eyes also shook Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Ahead was a 100 thousand foot wide cliff, below the precipice deep until the bottom could not be seen.


    This was a natural moat insurmountable by an individual''s strength!


    Furthermore, after Ye Yuan reached the summit, he immediately felt his footsteps become much heavier.


    A powerful gravitational field made him, this Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouse, somewhat struggle to walk too.


    This natural moat was really extraordinary as if done by gods.


    "The gravitational field here isn''t the strongest yet. The more towards the middle of this natural chasm, the stronger the gravity! Therefore, this natural chasm cannot be crossed at all. Really don''t know how those fiends came over," Ling Feng said rather perplexedly.


    Ye Yuan said, "We made a big detour. There are probably several dozen miles away from the place they crossed the natural moat. Now, let''s be more careful and draw closer there."


    Ling Feng nodded his head, drawing new to the place where the fiend race crossed the natural chasm.


    The two people cautiously passed through several dozen miles. Finally, their gazes turned intent, looking at the 100 thousand foot great canyon in astonishment.


    Only to see that inside that great canyon, a flying boat that could carry several dozen people was currently slowly flying.


    That flying boat actually suspended in midair and did not drop down. It was currently transporting fiend race soldiers batch by batch, flying over to the human race''s side.


    The only shortcoming was that this flying boat was not large. It looked like it could only transport five to six squads each time.


    Reckon that those fiend race soldiers Ye Yuan they all ran into was the first batch sent over.


    "They can actually fly above this natural moat! This �� this is too astounding! Luckily we ran into that batch of fiend race soldiers. Otherwise this time, Tiderain City definitely can''t be defended!" Ling Feng lowered his voice and said.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, gaze staring at that flying boat, an appearance as if he was absorbed in thought.


    Ling Feng continued, "No way, got to bring this news back to Tiderain City. Otherwise, when the fiend race army is finished assembling, Tiderain City will be attacked from both front and rear!"


    With this flying boat, the fiend race would be able to send troops over to the Fiend Calling Ridge''s side unceasingly.


    At that time, with a two-pronged pincer attack, Tiderain City would face an even greater threat.


    Therefore, Ling Feng already could not wait to return to Tiderain City and report this major intelligence to Tiderain City.


    But at this time, a fiend race powerhouses currently had his brows tightly knitted several miles away from Ling Feng duo.


    The aura on this fiend was very powerful, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.


    This was the leader of this fiend race army, Xiu Lie, a half-stop Divine Lord Realm powerhouse.


    "Those few squads'' people are all not back yet?" Xiu Lie said in a deep voice.


    "Replying Your Excellency, there''s no news yet! Those few squads seemed to have lost contact," an Origin Deity Realm subordinate said.


    Xiu Lie''s brows knitted even tighter as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that they encountered the human race''s army? This is impossible! According to our intel, Fiend Calling Ridge this area, Tiderain City''s army very rarely comes over. Send people to go and inquire about the intel again and search for those few teams'' whereabouts. I want to see the person if alive, the corpse if dead!"


    "Yes, Your Excellency!" The subordinate answered and left.


    Xiu Lie paced around continuously, clearly somewhat irritable.


    Crossing the Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural moat this time was a several decades long grand plan that the fiend race planned and prepared for. There could not be the slightest accident.


    At that time, when celestial soldiers descended from the heavens[1], Tiderain City would surely be breached!


    As long as Tiderain City was breached, the fiend race army would be able to march straight in without resistance.


    But Xiu Lie never thought that they were actually thwarted at the very beginning this time. The few squads sent out to inquire about information actually disappeared without a sound!


    Not long after, the subordinate came to report once again.


    "Your Excellency, those few squads seemed to have evaporated into thin air, without any traces at all! I sent several dozen teams to go out and investigate but didn''t discover their figures. But �� a team discovered some traces of fighting in the dense forest ��"


    Xiu Lie''s expression was grim until it was almost going to drip water and he said, "To be able to dispose of five squads without a sound, it''s probably a human race expert! Not good, they might be spying on the military situation in the vicinity! Immediately dispatch everyone who came over to conduct a carpet search in the vicinity! Also, you, call on some commanders over for me. The arrival''s strength is likely not weak. Once any activities are discovered, immediately rush over and kill without mercy!"


    "Yes, Your Excellency!"


    Xiu Lie gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, how can it be so coincidental? Now that they''re spying on the military situation right now and didn''t send the news back to Tiderain City!"


    The fiend race''s movements here were huge. Powerful auras were faintly perceptible, starting to conduct searches in the vicinity.


    Ye Yuan said softly, "Go, they probably discovered that those few squads went missing and already suspect that somebody sneaked in."


    Ling Feng nodded and brought Ye Yuan to quietly withdraw.


    "Scree!"


    Suddenly a clear eagle sound echoed out in the air.


    Ling Feng lifted his head to look when he heard this sound and his expression could not help changing drastically!


    "Not good! It''s the Devil Blood Eagle raised by the fiend race! It''s the most sensitive to the human race''s scent! We �� We can''t escape anymore!"


    Ling Feng''s complexion was ashen, his eyes actually lost all hope.


    "The Devil Blood Eagle discovered humans! They are currently escaping in the southwest direction!'' suddenly someone among the fiends exclaimed.


    When Xie Lie heard this voice, his gaze turned dark, his figure moving explosively, speeding over in the southwest direction.


    Several powerful auras engulfed everything and swept over like the tide.


    Especially Xiu Lie, even with the gravitational field''s interference, his speed was also swift to the extreme.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s inner-heart had broken down too. Under the powerful gravitational field, Xiu Lie''s speed was still faster than everyone else, pressing straight for Ye Yuan duo.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to Ling Feng, "Do you trust me?"


    Ling Feng froze and immediately nodded his head.


    "Good, jump together!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    [1] Exaggeration for an unstoppable army

 1465 A Geniuss Thoughts

    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    ...


    Each and every one of the fiend race powerhouses moved like lightning, dashing towards the place where Ye Yuan dup originally stood. They saw the back view of the two people jumping off the cliff.


    Xiu Lie''s face was extremely grim and said, "Just two initial-stage Heaven Glimpse? How did he finish off five squads without a sound?"


    "Your Excellency, they �� probably still have other people? Two measly human Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists, even if their strength is powerful, it''s also impossible to make five squads completely wiped out," a subordinate said.


    Xiu Lie nodded his head and heaved a sigh as he said, "Looks like �� our side here is already exposed. It''s already impossible to want to swoop down on Tiderain City. Our 10 years of effort is ruined overnight!"


    The others were similarly incomparably disappointed. They were originally very much looking forward to this battle. Who knew that news actually leaked at the eleventh hour, this made their military exploits be wiped out in a day.


    What they did not know was that they were actually very close to success.


    It was just too bad that Ye Yuan just happened to lose his way and came to this area, and even ran into the five squads who were patrolling.


    Otherwise, with Ling Feng their strength, how could they possibly send the intel back?


    "Notify Sandcliff''s side, and just say that the surprise army appearing out of nowhere on this side already lost effectiveness. We can only join forces to attack fiercely," Xiu Lie said solemnly.


    He shot a glance at the natural chasm that was deep until the bottom could not be seen and said with a cold snort, "Those two punks got off lucky!"


    ...


    After Ye Yuan duo jumped off the cliff, their bodies plummeted at a terrifying speed.


    That speed was more than ten times faster than when they fell normally.


    The terrifying gravitational field even made them unable to adjust their falling down posture.


    Ling Feng already despaired. He felt that his body would be destroyed by this huge gravitational field before he even reached the bottom.


    The further down, the greater this gravitational field''s force, and the faster the speed. Ling Feng felt like the blood vessels in his whole body were about to burst.


    It was just that under this kind of circumstances, he could not even accomplish crying out.


    Suddenly, Ling Feng''s expression changed. His falling speed was actually slowing down. The effect of the gravitational field on him was actually reducing!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    This natural chasm, the further down, the more terrifying the gravitational field. It was not what human strength could contend with at all.


    Ling Feng knew that there had once been a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse who attempted to find out about this natural chasm''s situation. But he never came back.


    Ever since then, no one else dared to have ideas about this natural chasm.


    Ling Feng turned out and took a look at Ye Yuan, his gaze full of an incredulous look.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were tightly shut, his body emitting a strange forcefield.


    Ling Feng did not notice it previously. Only now did he abruptly startled awake. This strange forcefield was currently becoming stronger at a rapid rate!


    And this forcefield was clearly what made their falling speed slow down.


    Ling Feng suddenly felt like the forcefield around them was like a spring. The further down, the stronger the forcefield.


    Finally, the two people''s figures abruptly stopped, suspending in midair!


    Ling Feng looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished look and said, "You �� How did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, a wooden stick appeared in his hand. It was precisely the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!


    "There is a strange forcefield inside this natural chasm. It''s a great supplement to my Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood. The further down, the stronger this forcefield, and the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood is growing crazily. And now, it finally reached a state of equilibrium," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan''s Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was constantly brought along on him. But it had always been stuck at peak Tier 9 and did not break through to divine rank.


    Encountering this strange gravitational field this time, it was an opportunity for the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Originally, Ye Yuan was planning on finding a chance to come over and let the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood absorb the magnetic force to evolve.


    It was just that the plan could not keep up with the changes. He did not expect that they were actually discovered so quickly.


    Driven to the wall, Ye Yuan could only take the risk and try, jumping straight into this natural chasm.


    Sure enough, the forcefield here did not disappoint him.


    The further down, the faster the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s evolution.


    In this short while, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood actually directly broke through two ranks under this terrifying force field, reaching the level of divine rank two!


    Ling Feng looked at the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, shocked until he could not close his mouth.


    His back was drenched in a cold sweat. He looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look and said, "You �� You''re using the natural chasm''s gravitational field to evolve the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood?"


    He was not really afraid earlier. But looking back now, Ling Feng felt like his legs turned soft.


    What if the evolution failed, wouldn''t the two of them have to shatter to pieces?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Under that sort of situation, did we still have other choices? The one coming over earlier was a half-step Divine Lord fiend race powerhouse!"


    Ling Feng opened his mouth and stopped talking.


    Indeed, this was the best way.


    Most importantly, they won the gamble!


    However, this guy in front of him looked young, without the slightest experience. But when doing things, he was really crazy!


    Perhaps it was precisely because of so that he would think of joining the human race army, right?


    "But �� even if you have the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, how did you do it?" Ling Feng said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "When I saw the fiend race''s flying boat earlier, I was thinking about this problem. This natural chasm''s gravitational field is so strong, for them to be able to overcome the natural chasm, they definitely made use of this gravitational field! So I was thinking, if I created a gravitational field too, I can use this gravitational field to produce a repulsive force or not, and I''ll be able to suspend in the air! Heh, trying it out, it''s indeed like so! Presumably, aboard the fiend race''s flying boat, they definitely created a gravitational field too, that''s how it let them be able to fly across the natural chasm!"


    Ling Feng stared with his mouth agape from listening. This guy was simply a genius!


    The fiend race used no idea how many years before coming up with this method. But it was cracked by Ye Yuan in a second.


    It was simple to say, but achieving it was absolutely not an easy thing.


    This natural chasm''s gravitational field was too strong. Wanting to neutralize this forcefield could not be accomplished by casually creating a flying boat with a forcefield.


    A little bit off and it could only be the outcome of the boat being destroyed and people perishing in the end.


    If not for so, the fiend race also would not use so many years to research such a small-scale flying boat.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to do this was because his control over the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood had long reached the degree of superlative heights already.


    During the process of falling, Ye Yuan had been adjusting the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood''s gravitational field all along, attempting to reach a state of equilibrium with the natural chasm''s gravitational field.


    In-between this, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was still evolving crazily. To be able to achieve this in a short several breaths of time was simply inconceivable.


    Seeing Ling Feng''s expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, it''s getting late. Let''s circumvent this section before going up, don''t walk right into the trap. Oh, right, Captain Ling, this matter of the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, hope that Captain Ling keeps it secret for me."


    Ling Feng froze and immediately nodded his head.


    This Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood evolving to divine rank two was a rather powerful treasure. It could even become one of Ye Yuan''s trump cards.


    This kind of thing, Ye Yuan was naturally unwilling to let others know.


    He and Ye Yuan were just casual acquaintances and were not considered to have a very deep friendship. For Ye Yuan to willingly save his life was already not easy.


    After all, under this kind of circumstances, an additional person was an additional point of risk.

 1466 Jealous of the Righteous and Envious of the Strong

    Being a very long impregnable pass, Tiderain City was built against a mountain, very grand.


    That city wall was just like a gate, keeping the fiend race great army out of the gates for millions of years.


    The fiend race was warlike. Ever since the rise of Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, this Tiderain City became one of the important battlegrounds of the human and fiend, two races.


    Eminent Orchid Imperial City had once sent out several Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, attempting to take Tiderain City by storm.


    River Eternal Imperial City''s side was not willing to show weakness either, similarly sending out several Divine Lord Realm powerhouses to deal with the enemy.


    That battle fought until the heavens turned dark and the earth dimmed, virtually collapsing Tiderain City.


    In the end, both sides sustained great losses.


    Those dozen over Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were almost completely annihilated.


    Ever since then, Eminent Orchid Imperial City did not dare to take Tiderain City by storm again but placed the focal points of the war along other lines.


    In these several million years, Eminent Orchid Imperial City and River Eternal Imperial City both had victories and defeats, but neither could do anything to the other.


    Because the other cities along the other borders were all exceedingly deep. Once the fiend race launched an attack, it was very easy to face enemies from the front and rear.


    Even if they could occasionally defeat the humans, they would be repelled by the human race''s human wave tactic very soon too.


    Only this Tiderain City that once breached, the fiend race army would be able to push forward unopposed, going straight for River Eternal Imperial City, was the most important.


    Therefore, even after so many years, the fiend race had never given up on the idea of attacking Tiderain City.


    Flying across the Fiend Calling Ridge was an ingenious military move. It could directly cross Tiderain City''s southern city wall, directly assaulting Tiderain City''s northern side.


    In contrast to the southern city walls'' countless array formations reinforcing, the northern city walls were undoubtedly much weaker.


    Once an army suddenly appeared from nowhere and the ambush worked, Tiderain City would surely be breached!


    Along the way, Zhao Bin directly shook off the others, urging divine essence to the limits, rushing back to Tiderain City.


    "Quickly open the city gates! Quickly open the city gates! I''m Zhao Bin under Centurion Zong Tao''s command, quickly open the city gates!" Zhao Bin shouted at the top of his voice, using all of his strength to shout at the city wall.


    Creak ��


    The city gates opened. Zhao Bin used all the strength in his body to rush in.


    "Zhao Bin, why did you come back alone? Where are the rest? You''re flustered and panicky, what happened?" A figure came up to greet as he said rather unhappily.


    Zhao Bin froze and said, "Centurion! Things are bad! The fiend race army used no idea what kind of method and are charging over from the Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural chasm that side!"


    This person was precisely Zong Tao, Ling Feng''s squad''s centurion.


    Under Zong Tao, Ling Feng''s strength was the strongest, his military achievements also the most impressive. He could break through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse at any time and threaten the centurion position of Zong Tao''s.


    Therefore, he had always been wary of Ling Feng.


    Zhao Tao''s brows furrowed and he said, "What nonsense are you saying? How can the fiend race come over from that side?"


    Zhao Bin said anxiously, "Lord Centurion, it''s absolutely true! We ran into five fiend race squads. Their captain said it personally!"


    But Zong Tao still did not believe and said, "The fiend race is cunning, what they said, you believe it too? Also, if you all really encountered five squads, how did you escape?"


    Zhao Bin could not help choking up as he said, "It might �� it might have been some passing-through human senior who saved us! Lord Centurion, what I said is absolutely true!"


    Seeing that Zong Tao did not believe him, Zhao Bin was anxious until he was rent with restlessness.


    He also knew that Zong Tao was not fond of their squad. It was just that he did not expect that the moment he entered the city gates, the person he met was Zong Tao.


    Zong Tao frowned and said, "Fine, then I''ll ask you, how did the fiend race come over from the natural chasm? How many people in total came over? Who is leading the team?"


    Zhao Bin utterly collapsed, how would he know?


    "Lord Centurion, Captain has already gone to investigate the intel and might be able to rush back in a while! At that time, he''ll have detailed information to send back. But the military situation is urgent, this matter must be reported and request the great general to make a final decision!" Zhao Bin said.


    But Zong Tao was relentless and said furiously, "Zhao Bin, are you done or not? You guys went to patrol and didn''t find any news, and came back to talk rubbish! What if this is a rumor deliberately spread by the fiends, intentionally baiting us to set up a defense at the northern city gates, but they storm in from the southern city gates? Who''ll shoulder this responsibility? Mn? You shoulder it or me?"


    Zhao Bin was thoroughly deflated. He was rendered speechless by Zong Tao.


    Putting it bluntly, Zong Tao did not want to bear this responsibility.


    After all, it was not that incidents of the fiend race sneaking into the Fiend Calling Ridge this region never happened before.


    Hence, the moment Zong Tao heard it, he felt that this was not reliable.


    After all, crossing the natural chasm, this sort of thing, was too fantastical.


    Plus, Zong Tao was biased against Ling Feng''s squad to begin with. He was even less willing to report this matter under the circumstances where there was no conclusive proof.


    "What are you all arguing about? What happened?"


    Just as Zhao Bin was at a loss on what to do, an awe-inspiring voice sounded out.


    The moment Zong Tao heard, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Commander Wang, nothing much. This subordinate is too negligent in doing things, I was just lecturing him!"


    Zhao Bin was just about to speak when Zong Tao shot him a fierce look. Clearly, he was threatening him.


    Commander Wang nodded his head and said, "Mn, the patrol here is done, you all go to the southern city then. Recently, the fiend race had unusual activities. It seems like the army has already finished assembling and they are prepared to launch an attack on the southern city."


    Finished talking, Commander Wang was just about to turn around to leave.


    Zhao Bin gritted his teeth and yelled out, "Lord Commander, this soldier has an important military intel to report!"


    "Shut up! How dare you be insolent in front of Lord Commander?!"


    Zong Tao did not think that this guy actually dared to disobey his orders and directly threw a kick over.


    How could Zhao Bin be Zong Tao''s match? He was directly kicked flying by him with a foot, spouting out a mouthful of blood with a cough.


    Commander Wang''s brows furrowed and he said, "What''s going on?"


    Zong Tao was just about to speak, but Zhao Bin ignored his injuries and screamed at the top of his lungs: "The fiend race �� the fiend race passed through Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural moat and has already assembled a great army, wanting to ambush Tiderain City from the northern city!"


    Zong Tao''s expression changed and he said, "Lord Commander, don''t listen to him talk rubbish! This matter is yet to be verified!"


    Commander Wang''s expression similarly turned grim and he said in a solemn voice, "Just what the hell is the situation, let him finish!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan two people made a long detour and finally slowly flew up the cliff.


    Along the way, Ling Feng had a feeling like he was dreaming.


    The Heavenspan World''s Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to fly at all. This feeling of suspending in the air was wondrous to the extreme.


    He had never thought that he would actually be able to fly in the air one day.


    "Younger Brother Ye, it''s really all thanks to you this time that I was snatched from the jaws of death! I, Old Ling, owe you a life!" Ling Feng said.


    "Huhu, Captain Ling is too courteous. You all defend Tiderain City to the death, protecting millions of humans behind you, how many lives do they owe you? It''s precisely because there was your shedding of blood on the battlefield that the other people can live and work in peace," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Ling Feng''s face blushed from what Ye Yuan said, somewhat embarrassed.


    Under the pressure of the fiend race, they had no choice but to resist.


    Not resisting was death!


    "Younger Brother, Ye, what should we do now?"


    Ling Feng unknowingly already relied on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was able and resourceful, bold and meticulous. He actually had a sense of security beside Ye Yuan[1].


    A hint of a smile flashed across Ye Yuan''s mouth and he said, "Our way back has probably already been cut off! Why not �� we deal a thrust to the back, how''s that?"


    [1] Would have totally been a harem flag if Ling Feng was a girl.

 1467 Thrusting a Spear to the Back!

    At the main camp of the fiend race''s army, when Great General Sandcliff saw the message, his face was grim to the extreme.


    "Xiu Lie this fool, to actually fail to even handle this minor thing! For the sake of this battle today, Eminent Orchid Imperial City has prepared for as long as several decades! I said that he can''t take on this heavy responsibility, but His Excellency wouldn''t listen! Ahhhhhh, infuriating this old man to death!" Sandcliff roared.


    The subordinates were all silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to say anything.


    Great General Sandcliff would suddenly turn hostile and pretend not to know old friends in his rage.


    "Great General, now that it played out like this, we can only attack by force! Fortunately, the tail over there has already been dealt with cleanly. The army will go over from Fiend Calling Ridge unceasingly. The north city''s defense is much weaker than the south city. As long as we can tie down sufficient military strength, we can breach the city all the same!"


    The one talking was Sandcliff''s most trusted army advisor. At this time, only he dared to speak.


    Sandcliff snorted coldly and said, "This damn fool, after capturing the city, Your Father will definitely show him some colors! Pass orders to the army, immediately attack the city!"


    "Yes!"


    The moment the generals heard, they immediately accepted the order and left.


    ...


    At the same time, inside Tiderain City''s City Lord Manor, Commander Wang and Great General Guo Changmin were currently listening to Zhao Bin''s military report.


    Zhao Bin endured his injuries and recounted what he saw and heard in the forest once more, then kept quiet.


    Guo Changmin was as steady as a mountain, without joy nor sorrow. Musing for a moment after he heard the report, he asked Wang Yifeng, "How do you view this matter?"


    Wang Yifeng had clearly long pondered over it already and immediately said, "Zong Tao''s words are also not unreasonable. The fiend race has always been cunning. We''ve suffered quite a bit of loss before too. Not ruling out the possibility that they deliberately want to disperse our military strength. But �� I feel that it''s necessary to be on guard!"


    Hearing this, Zhao Bin also heaved a sigh in relief.


    Guo Changmin slowly said, "This matter, wait until that Ling Feng comes back before talking. If the intel is true, Yifeng, your Third Army will temporarily organize a defense for south city and strengthen south city''s defenses!"


    Wang Yifeng answered, "Yes!"


    Right then, there was a subordinate who came to report again, "Great General, a large group of fiend race army suddenly appeared outside the city and are already sieging the walls!"


    Came so quickly!


    Hearing this news, the faces of everyone including Guo Changming all changed drastically.


    The fiend race army''s appearance was too sudden. They did not receive any news at all!


    Guo Changmin said in a solemn voice, "How many people are there?"


    That subordinate said, "A large dense swarm; too many to count! Preliminary estimates are no lesser than 300 thousand people no matter what!"


    Hiss ��


    Everyone all sucked in a breath of cold air.


    An army on the scale of 300 thousand people, this kind of battle had not happened for a long time.


    Looks like this time, the fiend race came prepared!


    There were only 80 thousand elites in Tiderain City, but the fiend race had at least 300 thousand people. This was bound to be a dreadful battle!


    "Pass down the orders, all legions are to immediately await orders to defend the enemy from the city! Yifeng, your legion will divide out half of its troops and garrison north city! Immediately send people to Kangding City and request for reinforcements ��"


    Although Guo Changmin was shocked, he did not panic. One order after another was issued out.


    ...


    Fiend Calling Ridge, by the cliff, Xiu Lie left behind a hundred-man team to receive the fiend race army coming from the back.


    "Really saw ghosts! I heard that Eminent Orchid Imperial City spent a huge price in order to craft these flying boats, transferring over a hundred pieces of magnetic divine stones from other imperial cities at a king''s ransom! Originally thought that we can directly capture Tiderain City with an army suddenly appearing out of nowhere. I didn''t expect to get off on the wrong foot, to actually be detected by the humans!"


    "You didn''t see Lord Xiu Lie''s expression, it was simply going to kill people!"


    "If it were me, I would also want to kill people! After Tiderain City is captured, Lord Xiu Lie can''t dispense with suffering Lord Sandcliff''s criticizing and ridiculing."


    "I can''t understand until now, just who Mu Feng they all encountered, to actually have not a single one escape!"


    ...


    Two fiend race captains were currently chatting away, very puzzled by the leaking of the intel.


    The originally seamless plan actually failed miserably at a simple task. How could it not make people depressed?


    At this time, a figure suddenly slowly walked out and said with a slight smile on his face, "Looks like you all are very interested. Why not �� I''ll tell you guys!"


    Those fiend soldiers were all suddenly startled awake, greatly astonished by a human''s appearance.


    That centurion''s brows furrowed, feeling that this person before his eyes was rather familiar.


    Suddenly, his eyes revealed a look of horror as he said in disbelief, "You �� You''re one of the humans who jumped off the cliff! How is this possible?! How can you possibly show up here?"


    This hundred-man team was Xiu Lie''s personal guard. This centurion was the one who followed by Xiu Lie''s side previously.


    Far away, he saw Ye Yuan and Ling Feng jump off the cliff, that was why he would feel that he looked familiar.


    But this should have been a dead person originally, how could he possibly show up here?


    When the others heard the centurion''s words, each and every one all revealed astonished looks.


    It had been unheard of that someone who jumped off the natural chasm could still come back alive!


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Dead men don''t need to know so much!"


    The centurion''s gaze turned intent and he said with a cold sneer, "Dead men? Just the likes of you, an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse? Although I don''t know how you came up, you''re probably mistaken. I, this centurion, am not an ordinary centurion!"


    The centurion''s aura released, erupting with a powerful aura. He was actually a late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouse!


    Ordinary centurions were only middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, but the strength of Xiu Lie''s personal guards were a notch above ordinary soldiers.


    "Hahaha �� ignorant human, are you cracking a joke? Us personal guards, each one can fight one versus ten. You actually dared to come back to deliver yourself to death!"


    "Are you trying to tell us that Mu Feng they all were killed by you? Let me tell you, us captains, any one that randomly comes out can eradicate their squads!"


    "Humans are indeed stupid, thinking that they are terrific with a bit of strength. To actually dare come and provoke us, really making people die of laughter!"


    ...


    Those few captains all revealed contemptuous looks, looking at Ye Yuan with disdainful expressions.


    These captains'' strengths were not ordinary. Some were even middle-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses.


    One initial-stage Heaven Glimpse challenging a hundred-man team, furthermore, they were even elites among elites, this was simply a joke.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It''s all the same to me! Sending Ling Feng away, I can finally let my hands and legs loose and kill."


    Ye Yuan slowly took out the Evil Extermination Sword, his figure instantly vanishing from where he was.


    Pfft!


    A captain''s head immediately exploded. Even his fiendish essence did not have time to escape.


    The moment he made his move, it killed a middle-stage Heaven Glimpse captain!


    The centurion''s gaze sharpened, finally realizing Ye Yuan''s prowess.


    "This brat isn''t simple, attack together!" the centurion said somberly.


    Ye Yuan grinned and casually sent out several Sundering Stars.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Several fiend race soldiers'' bodies directly exploded, instantly being garroted by the sword energy.


    Ye Yuan''s one person and one sword swept through among this hundred-man team akin to a no-man zone!


    The more the centurion fought, the more alarmed he became. Was this really a weak human martial artist?


    Looking at the hundred-man team''s numbers rapidly reducing, the centurion''s heart sunk to rock-bottom.


    Suddenly, the centurion''s gaze turned intent, his eyes revealing a look of shock.


    Ye Yuan broke through!

 1468 Cutting off the Path of Retrea

    "Heh, your strength is indeed not bad; it''s not to the extent of making me too bored! Now, I can send you all on your way."


    Ye Yuan''s voice sounded out faintly, sounding the funeral bell of this hundred-man team.


    Only to see Ye Yuan''s figure become a blur. They actually could not sense Ye Yuan''s traces!


    Too fast!


    Ye Yuan who broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, his strength immediately soared by a great margin.


    Those fiend race soldiers originally still could contend a little, but now, they were completely too weak to stand up to a single blow.


    The centurion had a horrified look. How could he still care about his subordinates? His figure moved, speeding into the distance.


    "Heh, can you escape?"


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, his figure turning into a wisp of light smoke. That centurion did not even emit a scream and was directly annihilated.


    The others ran helter-skelter, but Ye Yuan would not give them the chance at all, sword drawing like the wind, wiping out this hundred-man team clean very soon.


    Right then, a flying boat slowly approached.


    On the flying boat, someone just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan massacring the hundred-man team and shouted loudly, "What are you doing?! Human, you''re courting death!"


    The arrival''s aura was very powerful. He was actually an Origin Deity Realm fiend race powerhouses; he was likely a high-ranking military officer.


    Ye Yuan looked at the other party from afar. Suddenly, a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, "The ones courting death �� are you all!"


    Then, under everyone on the fly boat''s dumbfounded gazes, Ye Yuan suddenly took a step forward.


    Ye Yuan was already standing on the edge of the cliff at this time. Another step forward and he would fall into the natural chasm.


    "What is he doing? Does he know that he can''t escape and is going to kill himself?"


    "This human isn''t a fool, right? To actually want to jump off the cliff to commit suicide!"


    "Goodness me, my heart is somewhat thumping from watching! Fell down! Fell down!"


    ...


    However, the reality was not like they imagined.


    Ye Yuan, his step was taken very solidly, akin to flat ground!


    Just like this, Ye Yuan stepped on the air and came.


    All of the fiend race warriors had their eyeballs pop out, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    This person could actually step on the air and fly?


    You have got to be kidding!


    Under such a terrifying gravitational field, there was actually someone capable of flying in the air!


    "Not good! What �� What does he want to do?"


    That Origin Deity Realm military officer suddenly startled awake. He discovered that right now did not seem to be the time to be shocked.


    Ye Yuan stepped on the air and came, what on earth was he going to do?


    "Kill him! Don''t let him approach the flying boat! Mustn''t let him draw close to the flying boat!


    The Origin Deity Realm military officer''s voice revealed exhaustion from shouting at the top of his voice and fear!


    He used all of his strength and struck a palm towards Ye Yuan through the air.


    The palm of an Origin Deity Realm, the power was naturally incomparably terrifying.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly plummeted but directly avoided this palm.


    "Where is he? Where did he go?"


    "Could it be �� fell to death?"


    "Hahaha �� Lord Li Kong is mighty! That brat still wanted to play tricks. Now, see how he plays!"


    Creak.


    The voice had yet to fade when an intent tremor occurred on the flying boat and it actually tilted a little. All of the fiends staggered as if struck.


    "Wh-What happened? Why did the flying boat slant?"


    "Damn it! It''s that human punk! He �� He wants to turn the flying boat over!"


    "Impossible! This flying boat was forged with Dark Gold Heavy Metal. Even an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse can''t push it. How can he, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist, possibly turn it over?"


    "H-Help! I �� I don''t want to die yet!"


    ...


    On the flying boat were screams of despair everywhere.


    To these fiend race soldiers, right now was simply the end of the world.


    On the flank, a place where the group of fiend soldiers could not see, rays of golden light flooded on Ye Yuan''s body. At the same time, a forcefield poured out in torrents.


    This heavy flying boat actually slanted a little again.


    "HAH!"


    Ye Yuan gave a huge shout, using all of his strength to push. The flying boat was directly pushed to a 90-degree angle.


    "Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!"


    Tragic screams came over one after another. Each and every one of the fiend soldiers started screaming frantically.


    The moment the flying boat tilted, that horrifying gravitational field directly pulled those fiend soldiers, falling into the 100 thousand foot deep abyss.


    No matter how they screamed, it was of no avail.


    Even that Origin Deity Realm officer also fell into the abyss swiftly, disappearing very quickly.


    Ye Yuan stood on the flying boat, looking at this scene coldly.


    Above this natural chasm, Ye Yuan was like a fish that entered the water, while these fiend soldiers were like a bunch of land ducks that had never been in the water.


    No matter how high your realm, how formidable your strength, there was only being drowned to death.


    Ye Yuan waited patiently for a while. Sure enough, another flying boat came over again.


    The two banks were extremely far apart. With the visual prowess of Deity Realm powerhouses, they could not see the situation on the opposite bank too.


    This flying boat''s product was very crude. It could only be sent over one-way, then launch the array formation to return, the mobility exceedingly poor.


    As long as it was intercepted in midair, it could only be a lamb awaiting slaughter.


    This kind of flying boats'' usage was extremely narrow and limited. Without this kind of powerful gravitational field, it had no place to display its ability at all.


    Furthermore, the fiend race was anxious to throw it into the battlefield and did not have time to develop meticulously at all too.


    Hence, it benefited Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan waited by a tree stump for a hare to dash itself against it on this side of the shore. Half a day''s time, he flipped over a total of five flying boats.


    Among this, just the Origin Deity Realm experts were as many as three.


    Once they got on the flying boat, they were simply lambs awaiting slaughter; without the slightest strength to retaliate at all.


    Once the flying boat was tilted, the horrifying gravitational field would immediately pull them into the abyss!


    ...


    Xiu Lie''s face was incredibly grim, his entire person appearing restless and uneasy.


    "What the hell are they doing? Why haven''t the people at the back arrived yet?!" in the dense forest, Xiu Lie roared.


    Ahead was Tiderain City''s northern city gates. They had been lying in wait in the dense forest all this while, awaiting an opportunity to attack the city.


    Except, just as they expected, Tiderain City had indeed strengthened the northern city''s defenses.


    At this time, a soldier rushed over at top speed, knelt in front of Xiu Lie, and said, "Your Excellency, Centurion Tong Huai and his hundred-man team had already gone missing. This subordinate waited for very long at the edge of the cliff, but not one flying boat came over!"


    "What did you say?!" Xiu Lie''s expression changed drastically as he yelled coldly.


    Not just Xiu Lie, the faces of those generals by his side were all white as a sheet.


    This news was simply a bolt out of the blue to them.


    Without the flying boats, they were equivalent to an isolated force.


    Although they could circle around from inside the forest, this dense forest was not suitable for their large-scale army to advance at all.


    There were many powerful fierce beasts inside the dense forest. Once they startled the beast herds and set off a beast tide, none of them could escape.


    Therefore, the region Ling Feng they all patrolled could occasionally run into small-scale fiend race squads. But large-scale marching could not be done at all.


    "Those two spies are already dead, could it be that there are still human powerhouses lying in ambush nearby? Impossible! Over a 50-mile radius has been searched through, there aren''t others at all! Who the hell did it? Even if Tong Huai they all ran into an Origin Deity powerhouse, it''s also impossible for not a single person to escape, right?"


    Xiu Lie racked his brains, but he could not figure out what was going on no matter what.

 1469 Spiriteye Green Soul Powder

    "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" A subordinate could not refrain from asking.


    Xiu Lie''s face was extremely grim, his gaze revealing a hint of viciousness as he said in a solemn voice, "We can''t wait anymore. Summon the whole army, attack the city now! We only have one path now, breaching the city!"


    The other generals'' faces also revealed decisive looks as they answered, "Yes, Great General!"


    Xiu Lie said in a solemn voice, "Tell them that our way out is already cut off. There''s only cutting off all means of retreat that we can survive!"


    The fiend race had a brutal and ruthless temperament. Cutting off all means of retreat would be able to trigger their courage instead.


    The fiend race army that flew over the natural chasm was roughly 30 thousand people.


    While the human army currently defending the northern city were merely several thousand people.


    This battle, who would win or lose was still unknown.


    ...


    On the northern city walls, Zong Tao looked at Zhao Bin with a cold face.


    "Didn''t you say that the fiend race has infiltrated outside of the northern city? Where are they?! The southern city has already been fighting fiercely for three days and nights, casualties heavy, where are they?! Mn?" Zong Tao lectured with a ferocious look.


    Zhao Bin''s expression was very ugly. He was also not too sure anymore.


    If the fiend race army really sneaked in, they should have long launched an offensive.


    The southern city''s battle situation was abnormally tragic. E heard that the First Army had heavy casualties and even had their military designation canceled already.


    Of course, the fiend race''s situation was even worse. It was said that they had already lost 70 thousand people.


    Corpses littered the field below the southern city!


    But why hasn''t the captain returned until now?


    "Didn''t you say that Ling Feng went to spy on the enemy situation? Don''t let it be that he became a deserter!" Zong Tao said in a cold voice.


    Zhao Bin''s expression changed and he said, "Impossible! There''s no way the captain will be a deserter!"


    Wang Yifeng''s brows also knitted together tightly. Could it be that it was really a rumor deliberately spread by the fiend race?


    Right at this time, a subordinate came to report, "Commander Wang, the southern city is making an urgent request for help, the Fifth Army is virtually completely wiped out! The great general asks you to bring the northern city''s garrisoned generals and head for the southern city to support!"


    Wang Yifeng''s pupils constricted. Drawing a deep breath, he said, "Got it, I''ll bring people over at once!"


    Finished talking, he said loudly, "All generals listen up, the army will immediately set out to assist the southern city!"


    Hearing Wang Yifeng''s command, a glimmer of smugness flashed across in Zong Tao''s eyes. But he looked at Zhao Bin and said with a cold smile, "Giving false information about the military situation, contradicting your superior officer. After this battle, I''ll see how the few of you escape punishment by military law!"


    The army was already fully equipped, heading to the southern city. Quite a number of soldiers already started going down the city walls.


    Right then, a heaven-shaking battle-cry suddenly came from outside the northern city.


    Everyone got a huge shock and did not come back to their senses for some time.


    Zong Tao looked at the fiend race army with an astonished look, his eyes full of disbelief.


    It was actually true!


    His back dripped with cold sweat. If the great general did not partake in Zhao Bin''s opinion, the city would be breached in a blink of an eye now!


    "Fiend army! It''s the fiend army! Quick, defend the city!''


    In the crowd, no idea who shouted too, finally pulling everyone back to reality.


    Wang Yifeng also drew a cold breath. It was actually true!


    The fiend race really flew over the natural moat and circled around to the northern city!


    So close!


    Just a bit more and they would be leaving the city walls.


    Once their army went down the city walls, the fiend race army would be able to jump up the city walls in virtually an instant!


    At that time, how could these mere several thousand people stop the fiend army?


    "Don''t panic! Everyone back in position, release the arrows!"


    Wang Yifeng mustered up divine essence, shocking all of the soldiers abruptly awake.


    The commander-in-chief was as if a sea-stabilizing divine needle. With him howling, everyone''s minds immediately settled down, and sure enough, started organizing a defense in a well-ordered manner.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    The archers took their places. Countless sharp arrows tore through the air, shooting at the fiend army.


    These arrows were all specially made. The arrowheads carried a strong explosive talisman; extremely strong lethality towards the fiend army.


    Engaging in fierce battles with the fiend race over a long period of time, the humans naturally developed many ways to deal with the fiend race too.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The fiend army charging at the front immediately had a swathe collapse!


    However, those fiend soldiers all did not fear death and did not care about the deaths of their companions around them at all, rushing over towards the city crazily.


    Seeing this scene, Wang Yifeng''s brows furrowed.


    He sensed that these fiend soldiers'' auras were somewhat unusual.


    It seemed like �� there was a feeling of looking at death calmly in the face.


    Although the fiend race was fierce, they were not ever-victorious.


    They would also be struck with fear and be afraid of death too.


    But this fiend army in front of them was like fierce tigers breaking the dam; all of them were not fearing death!


    "Giant crossbowmen, prepare! There''s a half-step Divine Lord general in their army!"


    Xiu Lie''s imposing momentum was seriously too powerful. Wang Yifeng saw it with one glance and could not help raising the vigilance.


    These giant crossbows were produced by human artifact refining masters. It had extremely strong lethality towards half-step Divine Lord powerhouses too.


    Although half-step Divine Lord powerhouses were able to fly in the air, unless they had no other alternatives, they would not charge forward.


    "Kill, kill, kill!"


    The fiend race army''s battle-cries shook the skies, rushing below the city walls very quickly.


    Xiu Lie yelled in a cold voice, "Fiend Dragon Throwing Spear, shoot!"


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    The fiend race naturally had large-scale siege equipments too. They carried them with large-scale storage spaces.


    It was only to see one throwing spear after another shoot out fiercely, directly nailing on the city walls.


    There was a small portion that flew right over the city walls, directly stabbing to death a large swarm of human soldiers.


    With these throwing spears, those fiend powerhouses would be able to climb up.


    Deity Realm powerhouses could not fly, but their strengths were much stronger than mortals.


    As long as they were given a pivot point, they would be able to jump up the city walls very quickly.


    A tragic great battle immediately commenced.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan was currently on a hill not far away from the city, observing the situation of the entire battle.


    "Looks like this side can''t hold on until the reinforcements come at all!" Ye Yuan made his own judgment very quickly.


    "The fiend race are indeed natural warriors. Their skin is coarse and their flesh is thick. Furthermore, their fiend souls are very powerful. They are very difficult to kill. Humans are indeed a little weak when placed in front of them," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Luckily, I had some preparations along the way. Otherwise, I''d really be at a loss on what to do at this time."


    Dustless also smiled and said, "You punk, you''re really meticulous in doing things. Even I also didn''t think about things to prepare for dealing with the fiend race."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "This is called preparedness averts peril!"


    On the way to Tiderain City, Ye Yuan consulted Dustless about the fiend race''s weaknesses.


    Along the way, he had indeed made quite a bit of preparation.


    Now, it indeed came in handy!


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had fought for many years. He was naturally well-aware of the fiend race''s weaknesses.


    Fortunately, there were quite a few divine essence stones given by the Myriad Treasure Tower in Ye Yuan''s hands. He collected quite a few good stuff along the way in various cities.


    Ye Yuan took out a small bottle. Inside the small bottle was full of green powder.


    "Heh heh, this bottle of Spiriteye Green Soul Powder is probably enough for them to choke on!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and opened the vial. Those emerald-green fine powder went with the wind very soon, flying into the fiend race''s main camp.

 1470 Heavy Casualties

    "The fiend dogs came up! F*cking fellows!"


    "Fight it out with them!"


    The fiend race''s numbers were too many. Even with powerful bow and arrows suppressing, the fiend race soldiers scaled up the city walls very quickly as well.


    Following that was fighting in close quarters!


    Once they could not defend this first wave, their line of defense would be utterly crushed.


    "Pfft!"


    A human soldier hacked at a fiend captain with a slash, shouting excitedly, "Why is this fiend dog so weak?"


    "My side too!"


    "So weak, one chop and it''s done!"


    "Hahaha, so weak! Chopping so satisfyingly!"


    ...


    On the city wall came the human soldiers'' excited shouting.


    When Wang Yifeng saw those fiends rush up so quickly, just now, his expression changed drastically too.


    But he did not expect that these fiends that climbed up were so weak.


    Wang Yifeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The southern city that side definitely could not be counted on. He could only rely on these people to guard the northern city now!


    The most important thing was that there was a fiend race army here. Then the people sent to Kangding City to request reinforcements were definitely disposed of already.


    They already became an isolated city now!


    Originally, seeing the fiend soldiers climb up to the top of city walls, Xiu Lie was overjoyed in his heart.


    But very soon, his smile turned stiff on his face. Because the first wave of attack was repelled very quickly.


    He could not understand what in the world happened.


    Victory was clearly in sight. In a twinkle, it ended up in smoke.


    This wave directly lost several thousand people. Xiu Lie''s heart was dripping blood.


    He did not have a source of troops to replenish currently. One dead was one less!


    "Charge again for me! Charge up in one vigorous effect! Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears, continue firing for me!" Xiu Lie roared.


    Another large wave of assault, the circumstances were shockingly similar to just now.


    A large wave of people had clearly rushed up to the top of the city walls. They went up fast, but was defeated even faster!


    Once they went up to the top of the city walls, it should have been like a hot knife cutting through butter. But the fiend soldiers all seemed to wane, directly deflating.


    Xiu Lie''s eyes stared like wide-saucers as he roared angrily, "Charge for me! Whoever dares to take a step back, kill without mercy!"


    Boom!


    Xiu Lie raised his hand and it was a palm, decimating quite a number of fiend soldiers who were currently running back.


    Those fiend soldiers were at a loss on what to do and could only turn around and charge in the direction of the city walls.


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    It was another round of arrow flurry on the city walls, exploding on the fiend soldiers'' bodies.


    "Your Excellency, we can''t charge anymore!" shouted a commander as he sprinted wildly to Xiu Lie''s side.


    Xiu Lie''s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "What in the world is going on?"


    That commander said with a face full of sorrow, "It''s Spiriteye Green Soul Powder! Somebody spread Spiriteye Green Soul Powder at the wind-gap!"


    The moment Xiu Lie heard, his expression changed greatly and he shouted fiercely, "Come back! All come back for me!"


    Those fiend soldiers were just about to rush up. Hearing Xiu Lie''s roar, they immediately turned around and ran back.


    This back and forth was like walking a dog, looking incomparably comical.


    "Hahaha! Fiend dogs, come on up!"


    "Weren''t you very fierce just now? Come on up! Grandpa is waiting for you here!"


    "A bunch of craven dogs, you all come up! Weren''t you very cocky earlier?"


    ...


    On top of the city walls, the human soldiers all started shouting excitedly.


    Repelling the fiend race''s two waves of offensive in a row, killing five to six thousand fiends, each and every one of them was incomparably excited.


    The human''s side only paid a very small price.


    Although they won rather bafflingly, this did not hinder their extremely swelled up mentality.


    Xiu Lie''s expression was unbelievably grim as he asked that commander, "You''re sure that it''s the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder?"


    That commander said, "Absolutely! Furthermore, this Spiriteye Green Soul Powder''s purity is very high. Just now, I only sucked in a small mouthful and almost can''t muster up any fiendish essence!"


    Xiu Lie drew a cold breath and said in shock, "So powerful? How can there possibly be someone who grasps the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder''s refining method among the humans?"


    Spiriteye Green Soul Powder did not have any effect on humans. But against fiends, especially low-ranking fiends, it had a terrifying effect.


    Once this thing drifted along with the wind, it would become colorless and tasteless.


    Even inhaling a grain of powder would also make the fiend''s fiendish essence unable to muster up, and could only be at people''s mercy.


    However, while this thing was formidable, even in the fiend race, extremely few people were able to refine it too.


    In fact, those who knew that it existed were very few as well.


    He did not expect that there was actually someone who knew how to refine Spiriteye Green Soul Powder. This was simply grievous news to them.


    "Damn it! Who the hell is it, opposing us in every way?"


    Xiu Lie was simply almost going crazy. This invisible opponent made him feel extremely uneasy.


    First was cutting off his path of retreat, then was the Spiriteye Green Soul Powder. This guy still had no idea how many methods!


    At this point, Xiu Lie would rather have a good fight with the other party.


    But, he did not know who the opponent was at all!


    "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" asked a subordinate who was also at a complete loss.


    Xiu Lie''s expression flickered incessantly. Suddenly, he made up his mind and said in a solemn voice, "Whole army, launch an attack! Everyone, hold your breath and charge up in one vigorous effort! They only have several thousand people. As long as we can charge inside, Tiderain City will definitely be captured! All of the Origin Deity Realm commanders charge in front for me!"


    The subordinates'' expressions changed and they said, "Your Excellency, do you have assurance in avoiding the giant crossbows?"


    Xiu Lie said solemnly, "No assurance! But carry on waiting and we''re still dead! This hidden opponent is too terrifying. I feel that we''ve always been led by the nose by him. He clearly wants to delay us right now. Most likely �� the reinforcements are already on the way!"


    The subordinates were taken aback with horror and said, "No way! The people sent out of the city to request for reinforcements were all disposed of by us!"


    Xiu Lie''s expression was very ugly as he said, "We have no way out anymore! Not capturing the city, we''ll have to die! Can''t carry on wasting time! Attack!"


    "Yes!"


    Under Xiu Lie''s command, all of the commanders followed him and charged straight out.


    Xiu Lie came before the army and shouted fiercely, "Everyone, follow me! You''re not allowed to take a step back! Kill!"


    Done talking, he leaped, directly flying toward the city walls!


    Wang Yifeng''s expression changed and he said sternly, "Giant crossbowmen, shoot him down for me!"


    Swoosh!


    A terrifying sharp arrow tore through the air and arrived, with virtually no time interval!


    A mighty expert like Xiu Lie was too late to even react and only had time to slant his body a bit.


    "Pfft!"


    Xiu Lie gave a muffled groan. A large hole was directly shot out in his chest!


    Wang Yifeng sighed in pity inwardly. If it could hit Xiu Lie''s vital areas, it would be able to take his life.


    But this blow already heavily injured Xiu Lie.


    In this short while, a group of commanders already leaped up to the top of city walls. Those fiend soldiers followed closely behind.


    Of course, the price paid was very heavy too.


    This wave of attack, the fiend race had a large group of casualties again, and already lost one-third!


    The Spiriteye Green Soul Powder was still continuing. A large swathe of fiend soldiers that rushed up the city walls fell down again.


    Xiu Lie ignored the injuries on his body, leaping up, directly flying up to the top of city walls.


    But at this time, a figure quietly circled around to the back of the fiend race army.

 1471 One Man, One Army!

    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan turned into an afterimage, charging over from the back of the fiend army.


    With this, Ye Yuan went all out, sword energy roaming unobstructed, directly downing a large strip.


    The fiends swarmed out in full force and were already minding their heads and disregarding their rear-end. The back of the army was very hollow.


    The Origin Deity Realm commanders already rushed under the city walls at this time. At the back were mostly Grotto Profound Realm and Heaven Glimpse Realm existences.


    Ye Yuan, one person and one sword, was akin to a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing until the sky and earth dimmed.


    In front of him, there was not an opponent who could last one exchange.


    One Sundering Stars charging out directly reaped a large group of fiend soldiers. Wailing sounds echoed together.


    "Not good! There''s a human army sneak attacking at the back!"


    "Army my *ss! There''s only one person!"


    "One person? Still waiting for what? Attack together and kill him!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan carved out the effect of an army by himself.


    His speed of charging forward was extremely fast. Very soon, he charged to the central region of the fiend army.


    The opponents he encountered were also getting more and more. There were even some thousand-man commanders whose strength already reached grand completion Heaven Glimpse.


    But after Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, his strength increased greatly.


    Grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouses could only cause a bit of hindrance to him.


    His movement technique was too fast. Those grand completion Heaven Glimpse powerhouses could not catch up with his footsteps at all.


    "Not good! Quickly stop him! He wants to destroy the fiend crossbows!" shouted a thousand-man commander.


    A group of fiend soldiers was taken aback with horror, blocking Ye Yuan''s path like tidewater.


    What that thousand-man commander said was right, Ye Yuan''s target was precisely the fiend crossbows firing the Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears!


    This thing caused too much harm to the human soldiers. If not for these fiend crossbows, it would also be impossible for the fiend soldiers to scale up the city walls so quickly.


    Sure enough, the swarming tactic worked!


    Ye Yuan''s path was blocked by countless fiend soldiers.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was strong, but he was just one person after all.


    The fiend soldiers ahead could not be killed entirely at all.


    Finally, Ye Yuan''s speed slowed down.


    He was still several hundred feet away from those fiend crossbows. But this distance of several hundred feet was like at the far end of the horizon.


    He killed a large swarm and even more fiend soldiers came up to block again.


    "He can''t push anymore! This human is so strong! Use swarming tactic to exhaust him to death!"


    "Everybody attack together! He already can''t escape! Rushing in alone, no matter how strong, it''s also delivering himself to death!"


    "Kill, kill, kill! Kill this human!"


    ...


    Not only did Ye Yuan''s slaughter not make these fiends afraid, but it also stimulated their devilish nature even more instead, all rushing over like they were crazy.


    "Heh, human-wave tactic, is it?"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. But the movements of his hands did not slow down in the slightest, continuously reaping the lives of the fiend soldiers.


    From Ye Yuan rushing into heavy encirclement until now, it was merely a short several dozen breaths. Ye Yuan already killed hundreds of people.


    This kind of lethality virtually rivals a small-scale troop.


    But even if the small-scale army could achieve this result, they would definitely be wiped out by the fiends at this time too.


    But Ye Yuan was perfectly unscathed currently.


    Chasing Moon!


    In the crowd, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly erupted, charging toward a grand completion thousand-man commander with inconceivable speed.


    That thousand-man commander never thought that Ye Yuan could actually still release such a stunning move under everyone''s besieging.


    Pfft!


    Caught unprepared, his head was directly exploded by Ye Yuan, his body falling weakly onto the ground.


    Those fiend soldiers were all shocked until they could not close their mouths. A powerful thousand-man commander was actually one-shotted in one exchange?


    This human was truly a little too freakish, right?


    In this dazed short while, Ye Yuan already sped towards the fiend crossbows like lightning!


    A distance of several hundred feet was merely a matter of a twinkle to Ye Yuan.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan released several Sundering Stars like lightning, directly hacking those fiend crossbows into pieces.


    Although those fiend crossbows were powerful, they were merely profound divine artifact grade sieging weapons, having weak defensive power.


    With Ye Yuan''s strength, destroying them were merely a matter of a wave of a hand.


    And at this time, the top of the city walls already entered a white-hot stage. Both parties already entered the state of hand-to-hand fighting.


    Those Origin Deity Realm powerhouses directly slaughtered into the human army, all incomparably powerful.


    But in this kind of war, Origin Deity Realms were not invincible.


    Such intense fighting, they would be forcefully exhausted to death by the human soldiers.


    Hence, they needed a continuous stream of reinforcements to join in before they could press forth irresistibly.


    But those Origin Deity Realm commanders suddenly discovered that the fiend army that joined in behind them did not seem to be many.


    Furthermore, why did the Fiend Dragon Throwing Spears stop firing?


    Turning back to look, their hearts immediately went cold.


    They were on the city walls, the situation below was clear at a glance.


    The back of the fiend army, a large number of fiend soldiers had fallen into a big mess!


    What was going on?


    That large swarm of fiend soldiers was probably no fewer than five to six thousand people!


    The fiend race''s losses already exceeded 10 thousand with the repeated assaults. There were only less than 20 thousand people left.


    Five to six thousand people being tied down all at once, their current numbers were not much more than the human soldiers defending the northern city anymore.


    Under this kind of circumstance, how could they breach the city?


    Xiu Lie being heavily injured by the giant crossbow, his strength was greatly diminished. At this time, he already clashed with Wang Yifeng.


    Although he could suppress Wang Yifeng, wanting to finish off the other party within a short time was very hard to accomplish.


    For some time, both sides actually fell into a stalemate!


    The humans relied on geographical advantage and finally withstood the fiend race''s assault.


    Both sides unleashed a sanguinary tug-of-war on top of the city walls!


    "Damn it! Why hasn''t this human''s divine essence run out yet?"


    "We already have close to a thousand man squad dead, his combat power is actually still so strong!"


    "Could it be that this guy''s divine sea forever won''t dry up?"


    ...


    Those fiend soldiers were almost despairing. They were really using numbers to go and deplete Ye Yuan''s divine essence.


    But they had already a thousand man team dead, and Ye Yuan was still full of spirit and energy, without the slightest appearance of divine essence drying up.


    Five to six thousand-man commanders wanted to besiege Ye Yuan, but they could not catch up to Ye Yuan''s movement technique at all.


    Ye Yuan was like a mudfish, shuttling back and forth in the army freely. Nobody could catch his figure at all.


    Time slowly trickled by, Ye Yuan finally could not endure anymore.


    When those few thousand-man commanders saw this, each and every one of them was delighted, like they were injected with stimulants, roaring loudly. One of them shouted, "He''s almost done for! Keep your chins up, kill him!"


    Those fiend soldiers were already in the battle for so long to the point they were exhausted already. Seeing the situation, each and every one of them was incredibly excited, swarming over towards Ye Yuan like tidewater.


    Continuously killing for a day and night, Ye Yuan''s divine essence was really almost already nearing the bottom.


    However, his goal was already achieved.


    "Heh, Grandpa Ye played enough, not playing with you all anymore!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly, figure moving, directly flying up to the sky.


    Sword maneuvering flight!


    Those fiends were utterly dumbstruck with amazement. They expended a price of close to a thousand people before finally depleting Ye Yuan''s divine essence.


    But he directly flew away!


    "Kill!"


    Right then, an ear-splitting roar rose up from the dense forest. All of the fiend soldiers'' faces immediately turned ashen!


    The reinforcements were here!

 1472 Narrow escape!

    Behind the fiend army, the tidewater-like human army arrived with a roar.


    The addition of the reinforcements made the already almost collapsing fiend army thoroughly lose the last trace of hope.


    The moment the human army charged, the fiend army immediately fell to pieces.


    A siege battle played out into a one-sided slaughter.


    Day after day of fierce battles, the fiend race had long reached the brink of collapse.


    With the addition of reinforcements at this time again, they were directly routed.


    On top of the city walls, Xiu Lie''s gaze revealed a look of despair when he saw the earth-shaking battle-cry.


    He knew that these 30 thousand troops were considered to have thoroughly fallen here!


    "Xiu Lie, offer up your life!"


    Right then, a figure tore through the air and arrived, heading straight for Xiu Lie.


    When Wang Yifeng saw the arrival, he said with a look of pleasant surprise, "Lord Wu Tianxiang!"


    He had long been an arrow at the end of its flight under Xiu Lie''s strong attack, looking as if he was about to lose.


    Wu Tianxiang suddenly arriving finally let him heave a sigh of relief.


    This Wu Tianxiang was precisely Kangding City''s defending army''s great general, a half-step Divine Lord expert!


    The current Wu Tianxiang had a soaring momentum, while Xiu Lie was already severely wounded. The two people''s strengths were not on the same level at all.


    One exchange and Xiu Lie was suppressed in all aspects.


    In the army, Ling Feng finally let out a long sigh in relief.


    These few days, he sprinted madly day and night, finally bringing the reinforcements in the nick of time!


    Otherwise, the outcome would be too ghastly to imagine!


    After being saved at the natural chasm, Ye Yuan had him go to Kangding City to request for reinforcements.


    At that time, Ling Feng felt that it was definitely too late. But Ye Yuan insisted on making him go over, saying that they would definitely make it.


    He did not expect that they really made it!


    But seeing the desolation of the battle situation here, even Ling Feng could not help being greatly moved too.


    The defending army on the city walls did not look like much, so how did they resist this 30 thousand fiend army?


    One had to know, the northern city''s defenses could not compare to the southern city''s. All kinds of fortifications completely could not compare.


    Under the situation where the numbers were extremely disadvantaged, they actually persisted for so long!


    Suddenly, Ling Feng recalled Ye Yuan''s calm and composed face, and could not help being startled inwardly.


    "Could it be �� Ye Yuan''s work? Impossible! He''s just one person, how can he possibly resist the fiend race''s 30 thousand troops?"


    Suddenly, his gaze flitted to those destroyed fiend crossbows, and he could not help being greatly surprised.


    Very clearly, it was impossible for the guards in the army to rush out to destroy the fiend crossbows!


    Then, who ruined the fiend crossbows?


    It could not be that the fiend soldiers themselves broke it, right?!


    Could it �� really be Ye Yuan?


    Ling Feng drew a cold breath. The more he thought, the more likely this was!


    He surveyed the surroundings, but could not see Ye Yuan''s figure at all.


    Kangding City''s army was like a bulldozer, directly charging over from the center of the fiend army!


    At this time, Tiderain City already did not need to shut the city gates tightly anymore. After Wang Yifeng withdrew, he ordered people to directly open the city gates, welcoming Kangding City''s army.


    "Leave 5000 people behind, the rest will all rush to the southern city and defend Tiderain City to the death!" In midair, Wu Tianxiang said in a clear voice.


    With Kangding City''s army massacring them in one round, the fiend army was only left with several thousand people already.


    Leaving behind 5000 people plus the northern city''s defending army, it was sufficient to clear up the mess.


    At the southern city''s side, they were still bombarding indiscriminately, both sides fighting until the sky and earth dimmed.


    The fiend army over there was seriously too many; unable to kill finish at all.


    "Xiu Lie, prepare to die! Today, you stumbled right into a trap! Don''t blame this general for not being courteous!" Wu Tianxiang laughed loudly and said.


    Xiu Lie''s aura became weaker and weaker, looking as if he was about to be defeated.


    He snorted coldly and said, "Want to kill me? You dream on! Heavenly Fiend Blood Escape Grand Release!"


    Suddenly, Xiu Lie''s entire body burst apart. A cloud of blood mist wrapped around the fiend soul, instantly flying out several miles away.


    Wu Tianxiang''s expression changed, not expecting that Xiu Lie still had such a card to play.


    But Xiu Lie''s blood escape''s speed was too fast. With his movement technique, he could not catch up at all.


    Looking in the direction Xiu Lie escaped, Wu Tianxiang heaved a long sigh and said, "Such a pity! Let that fellow escape. In the future, we probably can''t dispense with going through a lot of trouble!"


    A fiend infiltrating into the human race''s central region. Furthermore, it was a half-stop Divine Lord Realm powerful existence.


    How the consequences would be was really hard to say.


    Wang Yifeng went up to greet at this time, saying with clasped hands, "Lord Tianxiang, the people we sent out were all killed by the fiends, how did you get the news? I even thought that we were dead for sure this time!"


    Wu Tianxiang froze and said, "Wasn''t Ling Feng sent by you?"


    Wang Yifeng was stunned too and said, "Ling Feng? This name is so familiar �� uh, I remember now. Didn''t he go to spy on the military movements? It''s actually him! This kid really made a huge contribution this time!"


    Ling Feng failed to return after a long time, Wang Yifeng even thought that he had long died at the fiend race''s hands.


    After all, with his strength, the likelihood of being discovered by the fiend race was very high.


    Of course, those soldiers who came back said that there was still a person together with Ling Feng. But he was just at the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm and could not play any part. He did not pay attention anymore.


    He did not expect that it was actually Ling Feng who went to ask for reinforcements.


    This contribution was really too big!


    ...


    Southern City, Guo Changmin stood proudly on top of the city walls and said in a clear voice, "Sandcliff, your scheme has already fallen through! The 30 thousand fiend troops that came over from Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural chasm have already been completely annihilated. Xiu Lie has already been executed! Kangding City reinforcements have already arrived. Do you all �� still want to continue fighting?"


    Sandcliff''s expression changed greatly and he said with an astonished look, "Impossible! Fiend Calling Ridge that side prepared 100 thousand troops, how can it possibly be just 30 thousand?"


    This conclusion was seriously too beyond his expectations.


    Even if the intel was leaked, how could 100 thousand troops possibly become 30 thousand?


    But, looking at the densely packed reinforcements on the top of the city walls, it was not up to him to not believe!


    The northern city''s fiend army was probably really completely annihilated already!


    Sandcliff was currently depressed until he wanted to vomit blood. Just what went wrong with the originally seamless plan?


    Several decades of preparations actually concluded in such a crushing defeat, how would he give an account to the higher-ups when he went back?


    He lost over half this time, looking like he was about to knock open the southern city''s gates, but the reinforcements suddenly arrived, directly making his many days of making it through bloody battle turn into zilch.


    This campaign was simply defeated incomprehensibly.


    Sandcliff did not know that his words made Guo Changmin get a huge shock too!


    Fiend Calling Ridge that side actually had 100 thousand fiend troops!


    He believed that Sandcliff absolutely would not lie to him at this time.


    Then, where did the other 70 thousand troops go?


    If 100 thousand fiend troops all came over, even if he was long prepared, the northern city would have long been captured too!


    Several thousand people against 100 thousand people, the conclusion had no suspense at all.


    This war was truly won too by a fluke, won too bafflingly!


    As if there was an invisible large hand helping them at the back.


    Guo Changmin forcefully pressed down the astonishment in his heart and said indifferently, "Maybe those 70 thousand fiends had long fallen into the natural chasm! Sandcliff, if you want to keep fighting, this Guo will accompany you to the end!"


    The expression on Sandcliff''s face was exceedingly ugly. Struggling for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Whole army, listen up! Withdraw!"


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    On top of the city walls came all of the defending army''s crazed cheers!

 1473 Three Kneels of Gratitude!

    On the city wall, several tens of thousands of soldiers looked up at the gate tower; extremely grand.


    Guo Changmin surveyed the surroundings and said in a clear voice, "In this battle, the officers and men used their lives to repel an enemy several times the size! This general is proud of you all!"


    "Great General is mighty!"


    "Great General is mighty!"


    "Great General is mighty!"


    All the officers and men shouted in unison, the sound shaking the sky.


    One could tell that each and every one of them was very agitated, including Guo Changmin.


    In this battle, life and death hung by a thread. Just one step off and it was the outcome of the city being destroyed and people dying.


    Guo Changmin smiled and said, "It''s you all who are mighty, my children! From tomorrow onwards, the three armies will be rewarded according to their merits! However, the greatest hero who has rendered a great service in this battle is precisely the one standing beside me at this time! Perhaps many of you don''t know him, but you all have to know that he was the first one to discover the fiend race invading from Fiend Calling Ridge. It was also him who brought over Kangding City''s reinforcements, only then did it turn back the raging tides! He is called Ling Feng!"


    Beside Guo Changmin, Ling Feng seemed somewhat uneasy and out of place.


    This scene of having tens of thousands fix their eyes on him, he was still not quite used to it.


    "Your Excellency, this officer dare not take credit! The greatest meritorious hero in this battle isn''t me!" Ling Feng suddenly plucked up his courage and said.


    Guo Changmin even thought that Ling Feng was being modest, patted his shoulder, and said with a laugh, "Huhu, if it''s your credit, it''s yours, nobody can snatch it away! If not for you sending people to bring back news, the northern city would have long been breached. Even this general would also have to be buried within the army! To a certain extent, you defended the myriad of territories behind us!"


    When Ling Feng saw that Guo Changmin said it so solemnly, he was even more terrified and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, this battle really isn''t this officer''s credit! But �� But somebody else''s! If not for him, our squad would have been annihilated at Fiend Calling Ridge back then, and it would have been totally impossible to come back and report."


    Guo Changmin had a look of surprise on his face when he heard that and said, "Somebody else? Who is it?"


    Ling Feng said, "He''s called Ye Yuan, just a human who passed by Fiend Calling Ridge ��"


    Ling Feng rattled on tirelessly about the events that happened in this period of time, making everyone draw cold breaths continuously.


    Annihilating the fiend squads, falling down the cliff and not dying, cutting off the fiend race''s path of retreat. This series of actions, it sounded like a myth or legend to everyone.


    "I originally thought that it was a human expert who saved us in secret. But later, the more I thought, the more off it was! Most likely, the person who insta-killed five fiend captains back then was Ye Yuan! Furthermore, when I left, I thought that it was completely too late to request for reinforcements. But he told me in all sincerity and solemness that the reinforcements can definitely make it in time!" Ling Feng also said his own guesses.


    Guo Changmin was still perplexed previously; why did the fiend race''s army of 100 thousand become 30 thousand?


    But only when he heard Ling Feng say so did he have a sudden realization.


    At this time, Wang Yifeng suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Your Excellency, with Ling Feng saying so, I also feel that it''s very strange! Actually, the first day that the fiends besieged the northern city, the battle situation was already very critical. They leaped up the city walls several times, but those fiend soldiers were all feeble and soft; one chop and they were down! Because of this, that''s how we defended for several days! Later, Xiu Lie launched the assault, those commanders already rushed up to the top of the city walls. But the back of their army seemed to have had a disturbance, and that''s how they didn''t take advantage of the situation to enter the battle!"


    Ling Feng also said, "I saw the destroyed fiend crossbows at the back of the fiend army. The back of the army also had quite a number of people dead, but I didn''t see one Tiderain City defending troops!"


    The more these two people talked, the more alarmed Guo Changmin got.


    All of this sounded like an Arabian night tale, but the result of the events developing to this point was also so reasonable.


    However, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist dictated a war of several hundred thousand?


    This �� was a little too exaggerated, right?


    "Just what kind of person is this Ye Yuan? Are these things really what one person can do?"


    "This is simply producing clouds with a turn of one''s hands, and rain with another! He alone dominated a war! This kind of thing, even Lord Guo Changmin can''t do it!"


    "This Ye Yuan must have been sent by heaven to save us!"


    "Ling Feng said that Ye Yuan was only Heaven Glimpse Realm, could it be that he slaughtered into the back of the fiend army alone? Does this guy �� have three heads and six arms?"


    ...


    The officers and men were all shocked until they could not close their mouths, speculating one after another about this behind-the-scenes hero who had never been seen, but he saved all of them.


    Guo Changmin drew a deep breath and said, "Ling Feng, not that this general doesn''t believe you, but it''s true that the things you said are too inconceivable! Since that little friend Ye had the intention of joining the army, I wonder where he is now?"


    Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, "After the great battle ended, I kept looking for him too, but I couldn''t find him at all."


    Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a thunderous voice sounded out above the city''s sky.


    "The hero has already gone, all give three kneels of gratitude toward the east!"


    The voice was not loud, but it was like rolling thunder, transmitting into everyone''s ears.


    "Who?! Who is talking?!"


    "The hero has gone? It''s saying that Ye Yuan left?"


    "Toward the east? Isn''t that in the direction of Fiend Calling Ridge? Why did he go over?"


    "Are you dumb? Didn''t Ling Feng say it, that the hero can move freely above the natural chasm! No, wait, he �� he went to the fiend race?"


    Suddenly, everyone''s faces changed, realizing this problem.


    To the humans, the fiend race territory was equivalent to a forbidden land. No one dared to go over at all.


    But Guo Changmin''s expression changed and he gave a bow toward the sky and said, "We obey Lord Ze Yan''s dharmic decree!"


    "Lord Ze Yan? Who is Lord Ze Yan?"


    "I heard that there''s a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse stationed in Tiderain City, but I never see him before!"


    "Could it be that �� Tiderain City really has a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse?"


    "If there''s a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, why didn''t he take action when our casualties are so heavy?"


    "Yeah! We were almost completely wiped out, didn''t see the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse make a move too!"


    ...


    This voice immediately aroused a flurry of discussion.


    Legends had it that Tiderain City had a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse defending.


    It was just that after that battle, nobody saw the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse anymore as well.


    In the course of time, it became a legend too.


    Of course, quite a few people were also indignant in their hearts. Why didn''t the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse make a move when the great battle was fought to this kind of degree?


    Guo Changmin''s expression darkened. Mustering up divine essence, he said in a solemn voice, "All shut up for me!"


    His prestige in the army was exceedingly high. With this roar, those soldiers immediately became silent like cicadas in winter, but their faces still had indignant looks.


    Guo Changmin swept a glance over everyone and said in a solemn voice, "Tiderain City indeed has Lord Ze Yan, a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse garrisoning here! Could it be that you all think that there isn''t a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse in the fiend race army? Do you all know what it means for Divine Lord Realm powerhouses to take action? It means that none of you guys can survive! If Tiderain City perishes, Lord Ze Yang will also survive or die together with Tiderain City!"


    Guo Changmin''s rolling thunder-like voice finally made the soldiers become quiet.


    "Now, obey Lord Ze Yan''s dharmic decree! All officers and men listen to the order, give �� three kowtows to the east!" Guo Changmin said in a clear voice.


    Thud!


    Finished talking, Guo Changmin knelt down first.

 1474 Kanuos News

    A blood-colored light quietly disappeared into the dense forest. A cloud of black gas gradually condensed into a human form.


    "Fortunately, I had some contingencies. Otherwise, this life would have been considered lost in Tiderain City! However �� my injury is too severe. Without several decades of recuperation, I''m probably unable to recover completely. Fiend soul secret art, condense for me!"


    That cloud of blood mist gradually condensed into a human form. Who could it be if not Xiu Lie?


    But the current Xiu Lie was incomparably weak; less than one-ten-thousandth of his prime.


    Xiu Lie let out a long sigh of relief and muttered under his breath, "This war was really lost without rhyme or reason. To actually not even know who the opponent was! Sigh, can''t go back to the fiend race anymore. In the future �� I can only be a lonely spirit!"


    Suffering such a defeat, even if Xiu Lie went back, it would be hard to escape death too.


    After today, he could only become a lonely spirit and slowly recover his strength.


    "Who''s there?!"


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the dense forest, causing Xiu Lie to suddenly get startled.


    A figure slowly walked out. Xiu Lie''s pupils constricted. It was actually a human!


    His expression turned cold. When he saw that the arrival was only a Heaven Glimpse Realm human, his heart calmed down slightly.


    However, his gaze became ferocious very quickly.


    This human could just nicely become his blood-feed and help him recover strength!


    "Heh heh, kid, you came just in time!"


    Xiu Lie''s figure moved explosively, grabbing straight for that human.


    Whoosh!


    The sound of tearing through the air came over. Xiu Lie''s pupils shrunk, retreating back at an even faster speed than just now.


    Boom!


    In the panic, Xiu Lie exchanged a blow with the sword light, directly flying out backward.


    His gaze revealed a look of great terror as he looked at that human and said in a solemn voice, "Who the hell are you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Didn''t you want to know who your opponent was?"


    Xiu Lie''s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said in a deep voice, "It''s you? Impossible! A measly Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist, how can I possibly be defeated at your hands? No, wait, you �� you''re that punk who jumped off the cliff! You �� How can you possibly still be alive?!"


    Xiu Lie looked at Ye Yuan in incredible shock. He also felt that Ye Yuan was somewhat familiar. Thinking carefully, wasn''t he precisely one of those two human martial artists who jumped off the cliff?


    Jumping down the cliff, now, he actually showed up in front of him alive and well!


    Furthermore, this Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist actually said that he was his enemy of this war!


    How was this possible?


    Xiu Lie felt that his brain was somewhat inadequate right now. He actually lost to a Heaven Glimpse Realm brat?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Believing or not is your business; nothing to do with me. Now, I''ll ask you one thing. Do you �� know Kanuo?"


    Half-step Divine lord powerhouses could be counted on one hand in a capital city.


    Even within the boundary of an imperial city, they more or less had some fame.


    Hence, Ye Yuan directly asked this question.


    Xiu Lie''s gaze turned intent and he said, "You �� You''ve seen Lord Kanuo before? He �� He has already gone missing for a million years! You �� How do you know his name?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "You really know him! Heh heh, then that''s good!"


    Seeing that ill-intentioned gaze of Ye Yuan''s, Xiu Lie revealed a frightened look.


    "You �� What do you want to do?" Xiu Lie retreated several steps back in a row and said in a panic.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "Do what? Borrowing your fiend soul to use!"


    Xiu Lie''s gaze turned intent and he said fiercely, "You dream on!"


    Done talking, Xiu Lie suddenly turned into a cloud of blood mist and still wanted to escape.


    But Ye Yuan was even faster than him!


    One Sundering Stars releasing, it struck that cloud of blood mist.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved explosively, directly grabbing hold of that ball of Xiu Lie''s fiend soul.


    After ten breaths, that ball of fiend soul gradually dissipated without a trace.


    A powerful half-step Divine Lord powerhouse died in Ye Yuan''s hands just like that.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his gaze revealing a look of disappointment.


    Kanuo was a figure from a million years ago. At that time, Xiu Lie was still just a junior.


    He only knew that Kanuo received Capone Capital City''s City Lord''s order to go search for a small world''s spatial coordinates. In the end, he directly disappeared.


    This disappearance was a million yeara'' time.


    Ye Yuan was also harboring the mentality of giving it a try, that was why he came to block Xiu Lie. He did not expect that he really had some harvests.


    Xiu Lie''s speed was fast, but that was also just relative to Wu Tianxiang and the others.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse, sword maneuvering flight''s speed was even greater than before. Catching up to a heavily injured Xiu Lie was still a cinch.


    Gong!


    The identity token on Xiu Lie''s body as well as his spatial ring, storage equipment and so on, all fell down.


    Ye Yuan casually beckoned, gathering up these things.


    But he did not check it straight away. He just said coolly, "Senior has watched for so long, why don''t you reveal yourself?"


    A figure slowly walked out, his eyes rather surprised as he said, "Looks like this seat really underestimated you! It isn''t unjust for Xiu Lie to be defeated under your hands!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior has made great contributions and toiled hard holding down the fort at Tiderain City! Coming here, it isn''t to make things difficult for a junior, right?"


    This man was none other than precisely the Divine Lord Realm powerhouse holding down the fort at Tiderain City, Ze Yan!


    But Ye Yuan also knew that this Ze Yan in front of him was merely a clone.


    His real self did not dare to leave Tiderain City at all.


    Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan dare to speak so casually?


    If this Ze Yan had malicious intent, Ye Yuan would be unable to bear the consequences.


    In reality, when Dustless drew close to Tiderain City, he discovered Ze Yan''s existence.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Ze Yan''s eyes as he said in surprise, "Heh, looks like you, kid, really have keen insight into matters! I wonder when a junior like you appeared in my human race! Truly, the young ones are to be feared!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is too kind!"


    Ze Yan waved his hand and said, "You don''t have to be so on-guard against me. This battle was all thanks to you! I represent River Eternal Imperial City''s hundreds of millions of lives and express thanks to you!"


    While talking, Ze Yan clasped his hands at Ye Yuan, which was considered to have shown great respect.


    Even though it was just a clone, Ze Yan was a true-blue Divine Lord Realm powerhouse.


    To be able to do this was truly not easy.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Senior is too courteous! I, as a member of the human race, contributing to the human race is also ought to be."


    Ze Yan nodded and said, "Looking at your appearance, is it possible that you want to go to the fiend race''s territory?"


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, saying with a nod, "This Ye has some personal affairs, this trip likely can''t be avoided."


    Ze Yan said, "Do you know that humans are the lowest race in the land of the fiend race, living subhuman lives? Even this seat also doesn''t dare to easily go deep in. You ��"


    Ze Yan''s words were not said until the end, but the meaning was already very clear.


    Your strength was too weak; not suitable to go to the fiend race territory!


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior has some means. So, protecting myself shouldn''t be a problem."


    Ze Yan''s gaze turned intent and he said, "Since that''s the case, I won''t keep you anymore, be more careful!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and walked away slowly.


    Above the natural chasm, Ye Yuan was currently walking away leisurely but heard an earth-shaking loud sound coming from the direction of Tiderain City.


    "Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!"


    "Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!"


    "Tiderain City, from top to bottom, thanks Hero Ye for your life-saving grace!"

 1475 The Sharp Edge of a Pretty Boy

    Capone Capital City was Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s northern-most capital city, which was also a strategic military city.


    The Tiderain City great battle that had just happened, the fiend army set off from here.


    "Yo, what a handsome little lad. Go home with Elder Sister tonight."


    "Tsk tsk, this lad is really handsome, making Elder Sister tempted. Handsome guy, enter the city with Elder Sister."


    "Move aside, move aside! You all, these unchaste faded beauties, also want to fight with your mother? Handsome, follow me!"


    ...


    There was a wave of commotion outside Capone Capital City''s city gates. Seven to eight amorous women surrounded a young and handsome youth.


    The women all pushed and pulled, all wanting to take this handsome guy for their own.


    The fiend race women were completely different from human women. Most of them were very open and uninhibited.


    Regarding the matters of men and women, they did not shy from talking about it.


    Taking fancy on a guy, they would surround over like bees and butterflies.


    The fiend race men were mostly ugly and savage. Hence, when pretty boys occasionally appeared, they would be wildly sought after by these girls.


    The man surrounded in the center by these women was simply an outstandingly handsome man compared to other guys, completely not on the same level.


    It was just that this guy''s glabella was actually somewhat similar to Ye Yuan.


    This person was precisely the Ye Yuan who flew across the natural chasm and sneaked into the fiend race!


    The current Ye Yuan''s figure was considerably more robust compared to before. His face also had additional hints of a ruthless and evil air.


    He looked rather bloodthirsty.


    After Ye Yuan killed Xiu Lie, he found a fiend cultivation method inside his storage ring.


    Then, Ye Yuan used the Chaos Heavenspan Canon to operate the fiend cultivation method, and actually converted all of the divine essence in his body into fiend essence.


    The Chaos Heavenspan Canon was all-encompassing. It could convert into any form of energy.


    This aspect, Ye Yuan had long discovered it.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the paste divine essence within his body seemed to be higher-rank than the average person''s divine essence.


    As long as he was willing, he could imitate any kind of cultivation method at will.


    The current Ye Yuan gave off a fiendish aura from top to bottom. It was no different from ordinary fiends.


    Those members of the fiend race completely could not tell that he was actually a human.


    But this scene, it aroused quite a few fiend race men''s displeasure.


    "Heh, pretty boy, I want to challenge you!" A savage looking fiend man directly stopped Ye Yuan.


    "Goodness, Lang Ge. You''re a grand completion Two-star Fiend General, but you want to challenge a middle-level Two-star handsome guy, aren''t you shameless?" said a fiend race woman unhappily.


    The fiend race''s realm division was the same as the human race. It was just that the terms were somewhat different.


    From low to high, they were respectively Fiend Soldier, Fiend General, Fiend Commander, Fiend Lord, Fiend King, Fiend Sovereign, Fiend Empyrean, and the fiend race''s Heavenly Emperor!


    Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists corresponded to Fiend General.


    This Lang Ge was a grand completion Two-star Fiend General, which was also grand completion Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    Lang Ge glared and said coldly, "Hua Rong, yesterday, you were still saying that I am matchlessly heroic and only like me alone. Now, you actually took fancy on a pretty boy! Your father wants to make him explode with one punch; let you see who''s the hero!"


    The fiend race woman said with a wide grin, "Lang Ge, you aren''t going to be like the humans, doing what ''a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion the rest of your life'', right? Yesterday is yesterday, today is today. Don''t you say so, handsome?"


    The moment Lang Ge heard thi, he brimmed even more with jealousy, his face contorting into a wrinkled sheet as he said furiously, "Pretty boy, accept my challenge if you have the balls! What kind of man are you to hide behind a woman? Oh, I get it. You''re not a man at all, but a gigolo, hahaha ��"


    "Hahaha!"


    "Lang Ge, aren''t you bullying people here? He''s a middle-level Two-star Fiend General. How can he possibly be your match?"


    "Yeah, Hua Rong this girl had a momentary spur too. When she gets tired of playing with this pretty boy, she''ll return to your side!"


    "Our fiend race''s pretty boys, apart from Lord Ka Xin, they are all pleasant to the eye but useless vases; one touch and they shatter. Lang Ge, take it easy."


    ...


    The waves of laughter around were all mocking Ye Yuan.


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not wish to be such a maverick too. It was just that the fiend race men''s appearances, he seriously could not bear to look at it.


    Even if Ye Yuan was at the human race, he could be considered a handsome man too. Right now, this sort of appearance was already the maximum that he could tolerate.


    Making him turn into like Lang Ge, he would rather go and die.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred.


    A group of men and horses were slowly riding into the city. The one in the lead was a cold and proud woman.


    Ordinary fiend race women, because of their cultivation methods, were mostly very pretty and amorous. Their looks were also very outstanding.


    But that cold and proud woman appeared very different among these mature women.


    She was neither as gentle and good-natured as human women nor as licentious and unrestrained like fiend race women. Her beauty was matchless but had a kind of wild beauty.


    The moment she appeared, those women next to Ye Yuan immediately paled in comparison.


    "It''s Miss Li Ji! Tsk tsk, truly beautiful! If I can approach her, I''d be willing to be a ghost too!" whispered a fiend race man.


    Slap!


    Everyone only heard a crisp whipping sound. That fiend race man''s head directly exploded like a watermelon. Even his fiend soul was scattered too; he was deader than dead.


    "Since you want to be a ghost, then I''ll grant your wish!" Li Ji''s icy-cold voice sounded out.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all silent like cicadas in winter.


    Finished talking, Li Ji drove her mounted fierce beast and slowly rode toward the city.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Scram!"


    Lang Ge was stunned, only then, realizing that Ye Yuan''s sentence was said to him.


    "Heh heh, our pretty boy got angry! I''m not scramming. If you have the capabilities �� accept my challenge! Hahaha ��" Lang Ge said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan said in a cold voice, "Since you''re seeking death, then I''ll grant you your wish!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s body surged with fiendish energy, directly turning into an afterimage, charging over toward Lang Ge.


    Lang Ge was originally still snickering. But the moment Ye Yuan moved, his expression could not help changing greatly!


    Too fast!


    However, Lang Ge was a grand completion Two-star Fiend General at any rate. His strength could not be underestimated.


    His gaze turned intent. Raising an iron fist, he smashed over toward Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    The two people collided together without any flashiness. Lang Ge''s body directly flew out backward, but Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.


    When those few women saw this scene, each and every one of their gazes revealed an astonished look.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan was a flower vase. Did not expect that his strength was actually so formidable!


    Middle-level Two-star versus high-level Two-star, he actually occupied such a huge advantage!


    Lang Ge''s figure had yet to land when Ye Yuan''s figure moved again!


    Pfft!


    Lang Ge''s head directly exploded; his fiend soul ground into pieces by Ye Yuan''s sword intent.


    Under everyone''s astonished gaze, Ye Yuan put away the sword and slowly walked into the city.


    Those fiend race women abruptly startled awake, all of their faces revealing incomparably besotted expressions as they swarmed over like bees.


    "Goodness, handsome, not only are you good-looking, your strength is actually so formidable too! Truly the prince charming of my dreams!"


    "This is a man! Lang Ge that weakling, a pewter spearhead that shines like silver; looks good but useless!"


    "Handsome, you''re so strong! Hua Rong really loves you to death, leave with Elder Sister!"


    ...

 1476 Unexpected Encounter!

    "Get lost!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell as he yelled coldly to those few fiend race women.


    An icy-cold killing intent spread out. Those fiend race women all turned white as a sheet, involuntarily retreating.


    If it were before, they would definitely not take Ye Yuan''s berating seriously, but go over and flirt instead.


    But now, Ye Yuan killed Lang Ge with two sword moves. Who would still dare to not take him seriously?


    All the girls made way. Ye Yuan slowly walked past from the middle, heading toward the city gates.


    Fiend race territory, killing people on the streets, this sort of thing, was very common. Those capital city guards could not even be bothered to give it a glance.


    The fiend race was this kind of place; it was where the weak were prey to the strong until it was terrifying.


    As long as you were strong enough, you could obtain respect.


    If you were too weak, either submit or die; it was that simple.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of psychological burden regarding killing Lang Ge.


    Ye Yuan was just about to enter the city when an old man suddenly blocked his path.


    "Little Brother, our family''s master sees that your skills are pretty good and wants to invite you to join the Fan Family. I wonder what do you think?" The old man went straight to the point.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, "Oh? What are the terms?"


    Inside the fiend race cities, martial artists had to join a faction. Otherwise, they would be devoured until not even dregs remained.


    Entering the city today, their corpse might be strewn on the streets tomorrow.


    Two fists were no match for four hands. No matter how powerful one''s strength was, it could not match people''s numbers too.


    In the capital city, there was no lack of Origin Deity Realm powerhouses. Even if it was Ye Yuan who ran into them, it would be certain death too.


    The old man smiled and said, "Little Brother''s strength is outstanding, able to kill grand completion Two-star while being at middle-level Two-star. This level of strength, it''s naturally much better than other guest retainers. Our family''s missus said, as long as you agree to join the Fan Family, your treatment will be twice that of ordinary grand completion Two-star guest retainers!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but his gaze turned toward Li Ji who was on the fierce beast.


    Li Ji seemed to have been paying attention to the commotion over here all along. Seeing Ye Yuan raise his head, a hint of a smile actually flashed across her face.


    That look, that boldness, fieriness, fervor, made people unable to refuse!


    "Tsk tsk, this fiend race woman really has another charm when she smiles!" Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart.


    Ye Yuan had to admit, this Li Ji was also not the slightest bit inferior compared to the human race''s unrivaled beauties.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Deal! But I still have a condition!"


    The old man smiled and said, "What condition is there, feel free to mention it."


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "I want five slaves!"


    The moment the old man heard, he chuckled and said, "I was wondering what condition it was, even if you don''t mention this matter, we''ll also prepare it for you. The Fan Family''s guest retainers will each be assigned with three slaves. As for little brother, you, five is naturally no issue."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and pointed to a middle-aged man in Li Ji''s squadron, saying, "Okay, but �� this person, I want him!"


    The old man turned around to look, his face could not help revealing a difficult look as he said, "This �� Although he''s a slave, he''s one of Miss Li Ji''s guards and is deeply trusted by the young lady. This probably �� isn''t appropriate, right?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Heh, is this the sincerity you speak of? I know that your Fan Family''s strength is very powerful, but it''s also not to the extent where I have to go! Can''t meet eye to eye, so long!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan waved his hand and was about to enter the city.


    Suddenly, a figure stopped Ye Yuan''s path. It was precisely Li Ji.


    Her pair of beautiful eyes stared at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "A mere demon race slave, what''s the harm in gifting to Sir? Since Sir likes him, just take him."


    In the fiend race, humans and demons could only be reduced to the lowest-ranking slaves, regardless of how powerful their strength.


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "It''s still Miss Li Ji who is straightforward! Miss Li Ji, rest assured. You get what you pay for, Source Night won''t disappoint the young lady! It''s just that I got to have some errand boys under me and need a capable and experienced fellow to manage."


    Source Night was the fiend race name that Ye Yuan gave himself. It was just reversing the name Ye Yuan[1].


    Ye Yuan this name was too different from the fiend race''s.


    Li Ji smiled and said, "Li Ji understands! Sir''s strength indeed makes Li Ji very surprised. In the future, I''ll have to rely on sir more."


    Ye Yuan swept a glance around and said with a big laugh, "Did Miss Li Ji see their looks? For me to be able to do things by Miss Li Ji''s side, they are endlessly envious! Source Night is a guy too; to be able to serve Miss Li Ji, it''s my honor!"


    But Li Ji was all smiles when she heard and said, "Sir Source Night really knows how to speak. Then let''s return to the Fan Family."


    The fiend race admired the strong. The strength that Ye Yuan displayed just now was taken into Li Ji''s sight fully. Plus, Ye Yuan''s looks were handsome, her fiend race woman''s personality also showed itself.


    That cold beauty was like a blooming flower at this time.


    The gazes that the surrounding people looked toward Ye Yuan with were full of envy.


    In the entire Capone Capital City, those able to make Miss Li Ji laugh so happily were not many!


    Clearly, Ye Yuan made her mood very good.


    To be able to talk in a jovial manner with Miss Li Ji, even if they died, they were willing too!


    Li Ji came before that demon race slave and said coolly, "In the future, you''ll follow Sir Source Night!"


    The slave bowed and said, "Yes, Miss Li Ji. Long Zhan pays respect to Master[2]!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of an indiscernible smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.


    Li Ji forced out a mark from her glabella, struck it towards Ye Yuan, and said, "This is Long Zhan''s slave seal. In the future, he''s yours."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Miss Li Ji''s generosity. This chap looks rather smart. I settled on him at a glance."


    Li Ji smiled and said, "Sir Source Night has such sharp eyes. Among my guards, he''s the smartest."


    Ye Yuan had a pleased look too, accepting it calmly.


    In the fiend race, modesty and whatnot would never be regarded as a virtue but would be beneath contempt instead.


    With strength, then one could be arrogant, one could be lawless!


    With strength, one could accept other people''s praises!


    Strength was everything!


    Ethical code and moral principles, these things, were all rubbish in the fiend race territory.


    "Sir Source Night, let''s go back to the Fan Family!"


    Li Ji rode the fierce beast and brought the group of people back to the Fan Family.


    The Fan Family was one of Capone Capital City''s four great families. The clan''s strength was immense.


    Li Ji was the Fan Family''s beloved daughter, Capone Capital City''s top-rate beauty, admired by countless fiend race men.


    However, Ye Yuan naturally wasn''t really charmed by Li Ji that he agreed to join the Fan Family.


    In reality, Ye Yuan killing people in rage outside the city gates was deliberately displaying his strength for Li Ji to see.


    Sure enough, after Li Ji saw his strength, she came to solicit him.


    And the reason for Ye Yuan doing so was for this slave: Long Zhan!


    When Long Zhan approached him, the Sacred Dragon Token reacted.


    In the Heavenspan World, who could make the Sacred Dragon Token have a reaction?


    The answer was already self-evident!


    Ye Yuan did not think that coming to Capone Capital City, he could actually meet a person who could make the Sacred Dragon Token have a reaction!


    [1] Although the pinyin looks the same, the characters are different. They just have the same pronunciation. In order to not confuse anyone, I decided to go for an English name rather than going Yuan Ye and Ye Yuan back and forth. This way, it''s clearer when he''s being addressed as a fiend.


    [2] The Long in Long Zhan is dragon, hint hint.

 1477 Finally Solving the Mystery

    Returning to the Fan Family, Ye Yuan received the token representing a guest retainer''s identity. They arranged for his residence, and he also received a guest retainer''s salary as well as four slaves. Only then it was considered done.


    Coming to the courtyard where he stayed, Ye Yuan got rid of his attendants, leaving behind Long Zhan alone.


    The current Long Zhan was already much older than that clone Ye Yuan encountered in the land of inheritance.


    Clearly, these few years of slave life changed him significantly.


    If not for the Sacred Dragon Token reacting, Ye Yuan would not even recognize him.


    As for that clone, it naturally withered away between heaven and earth. It was impossible for it to pass through the World Locking Gate and come to the Heavenspan World.


    Ye Yuan sized him up with an amused look, making Long Zhan very uneasy.


    In the fiend race, if the master was unhappy, they could take the slave''s life.


    "Do you know why I kept you behind alone?" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Long Zhan clasped his hands and said with a flustered look, "Master �� should have some matters to instruct!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, I didn''t expect that the dignified lord of the dragon race actually ended up in such a plight today. A pity �� lamentable!"


    Long Zhan''s entire body trembled, his eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, monstrous waves stirring up in his heart.


    "Why �� Why does Master say this?"


    The shock in Long Zhan''s heart could not be any greater. In the Heavenspan World, apart from those who came out of the Immortal Grove Region together, nobody knew about it at all.


    But this new master of his blurted it out straight away.


    Ye Yuan held his palm out. A small and exquisite fire rod appeared in his hand.


    Long Zhan was no longer able to remain calm. His entire body trembled, staring fixedly at the Sacred Dragon Token. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything.


    "You shouldn''t be unfamiliar with this thing, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Thud!


    Long Zhan directly knelt down and gave three deep kowtows towards the Sacred Dragon Token.


    When he raised his head again, tears already covered his face.


    Over 100 thousand years, what was once the sea had now changed into mulberry fields.


    But the former leader of the dragon race ended up a slave to others, his life and death at other people''s whim.


    Agitating surging in his heart for a period of time, how could Long Zhan still control himself?


    "M-Master, could it be �� could it be that you''ve been to Long Zhan''s hometown?" Long Zhan asked carefully.


    He could not see through Ye Yuan''s actual situation and even thought that Ye Yuan sneaked into the Immortal Grove World and obtained the Sacred Dragon Token by chance.


    "Heh!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. The Sacred Dragon Token emitted a dazzling light. A gust of whirlwind rose from the ground up, but it was limited to within a range of 30 feet.


    Long Zhan''s gaze turned intent and he said in terror, "The �� The Sacred Dragon Token �� acknowledged Master! This �� How is this possible?"


    Members of the fiend race might be able to sneak into the Immortal Grove World and might be able to obtain the Sacred Dragon Token. But it was absolutely impossible to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge him as its master!


    The Sacred Dragon Token was personally forged by the sacred ancestor with bloodline power. Even members of the dragon race could not possibly obtain the Sacred Dragon Token''s recognition either.


    Those able to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge them as its master were only the lords of the dragon race!


    But now, the Sacred Dragon Token actually acknowledged a fiend as its master, how could he not be shocked?


    Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body changed. The rolling fiendish energy retreated like the tide, turning back into the original Ye Yuan.


    Long Zhan was simply about to break down. His master was actually a human?


    He disguised as a fiend and all of the fiends actually could not tell!


    Suddenly, Long Zhan''s gaze turned intent and he said in shock, "Could Master �� have come out of the Immortal Grove World?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "You''re not considered too stupid! That''s right, I''m the same as you, coming from the Immortal Grove World."


    Long Zhan''s expression changed and he said in disbelief, "Impossible! The Immortal Grove World''s Heavenly Dao is already lost. It''s impossible for someone to pass through the spatial turbulent flow anymore!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "I''m just telling you a fact, not gaining your trust. Don''t forget your current identity!"


    Long Zhan''s entire body trembled, his aura immediately cowering, suddenly becoming incomparably humble as he said, "Forgive my mistake, Master!"


    Ye Yuan''s tone eased up slightly. Looking at Long Zhan, he said with a cold smile, "Do you feel that you and I share the same roots, and furthermore, I obtained the Sacred Dragon Token''s inheritance and should be endlessly grateful to you, and let you go free?"


    Long Zhan''s heart thumped, his heart sinking to rock-bottom.


    What Ye Yuan said was completely right. After he was shocked, he was secretly rejoicing.


    Since Ye Yuan obtained the Sacred Dragon Token''s inheritance, furthermore, originated from the Immortal Grove World, it was impossible to not help him!


    Just now, he was actually wildly elated in his heart.


    But now, the situation did not seem quite right.


    "This �� This lowly one dare not!" Long Zhan said aggrievedly.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes shot out a ray of cold light as he said coldly, "If not looking on the account of the Sacred Dragon Token, the moment I saw you, I''d think of ways to kill you!"


    A piercing cold killing intent pounced from head-on, virtually asphyxiating Long Zhan.


    Ye Yuan currently grasped the slave seal. He only needed a thought and could make his soul disperse!


    "Don''t tell me that you all, these Deity Realm powerhouses, don''t know the Immortal Grove World''s fiend calamity! You all abandoned Immortal Grove World''s billions of lives for your own selfishness. So on what basis �� should I save you?" Ye Yuan continued coldly.


    Toward them, these Deity Realm powerhouses who left Immortal Grove, Ye Yuan was filled with resentment in his heart.


    If not for his sudden emergence, breaking through to Deity Realm at the final juncture, the entire Immortal Grove World would have already become purgatory on earth right now!


    Long Zhan was silent like cicadas in winter and did not dare to refute at all.


    The long life of a slave made him become extremely cautious and timid.


    He knew that right now, if he spoke one more word, it could draw down a fatal disaster.


    "Recount the events back then in detail. If there''s any bit of concealment, you know the consequences!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Long Zhan did not dare to hide, saying the events back then as exactly as they were.


    Back then, they were eager to leave the Immortal Grove World. On one hand, it was because Heavenly Dao was damaged. On the other hand, it was also because they dreaded the fiend race.


    Because at that time, the Immortal Grove World was already unable to give birth to Origin Deity Realm powerhouses anymore. They were completely powerless to face the catastrophe of the fiend race.


    These two things were like two large mountains, weighing on all of the Deity Realm powerhouses'' hearts.


    Finally, after an equilibrium that extended as long as ten thousand years, all of the Deity Realm powerhouses finally reached an agreement, escaping out of the Immortal Grove Region!


    And the dragon race''s old patriarch was one of the key members that facilitated this matter.


    The initiators of this incident were that group of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses.


    They convened all of the Deity Realm powerhouses that could be gathered in the Divine Realm and plotted this escape operation.


    If anyone dared to stay behind in the Immortal Grove Region, they would become a common target for scorn.


    Their goal was naturally not for everyone''s consideration, but that an additional person would be an additional assurance in passing through the spatial turbulent flow.


    That was a journey with nine chances to die and one chance to live. One more Deity Realm powerhouse was one more hope to live.


    It could be imagined just what kind of ulterior motives each had in the operation at that time.


    And the meeting point was at the Chaotic Devil Sea!


    That place was also the human and fiend, two races'' ancient battlefield.


    Quite a number of Deity Realm powerhouses also left behind their legacies there.


    Later, these hundred over people passed through the spatial turbulent flow, collectively escaping the Immortal Grove World.

 1478 Sword Dao Second-Layered Heaven Grand Completion!

    "Who survived and came to the Heavenspan World? How did you end up in the fiend race territory and become a slave?" Ye Yuan asked coldly.


    Hearing Long Zhan''s words, Ye Yuan''s heart was long burning with fury already.


    These bunch of guys would rather die than be willing to protect the Immortal Grove World. Truly selfish to the extreme.


    Sensing the killing intent creeping out of Ye Yuan''s body, Long Zhan was incredibly perturbed inwardly.


    "At that time, we had a total of seven people who survived. After entering the Heavenspan World, we all sustained heavy injuries. We couldn''t determine our location and no idea how long we walked either. Who knew that we actually ran into a group of slave traffickers! Our injuries at that time were very severe, we had no strength to fight back at all. In the end, after passing through several hands and places, we were sold to the fiend race. In-between this, we had another four companions die. Now, the ones who are still alive are only three people," Long Zhan said.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, "You all, as the Immortal Grove World''s strongest people, don''t take on any responsibility when something crops up, and would rather die than be willing to resist the fiend race! Immortal Grove World''s billions of lives were almost annexed to become fiend race slaves. This �� is perhaps your retribution!"


    Over a hundred Deity Realm powerhouses almost wiped out, this was perhaps everything foreordained by heaven.


    Long Zhan said trembling with fear, "Y-Yes."


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, "Apart from you, where are the rest?"


    Long Zhan said, "There''s still one person at Capone Capital City. The other person went to Eminent Orchid Imperial City. As for their life and death, I don''t know."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, "About removing the slave seal, you can stop thinking about it. In the future, it will depend on your performance."


    Long Zhan had a disappointed look, but he still said helplessly, "Yes, Master!"


    Ye Yuan not lifting Long Zhan''s slave seal had his own considerations.


    Putting aside him leaving the Immortal Grove World, Long Zhan was enslaved for 100 thousand years, the deeply rooted nature of a slave already penetrated deep into the bone marrow.


    The current Long Zhan was no longer the leader of a clan back then.


    For him to be able to live until now, he was bound to worldly-wise and slippery to the extreme already.


    He was a complete and utter lackey!


    Such a person, once the slave seal was lifted, he would not even know when he sold him.


    "Oh, right, you''ve been in Capone Capital City for so long, let me ask you something. A million years ago, who was Capone Capital City''s city lord? Is he still in Capone Capital City now?" Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    Long Zhan was stunned and shook his head and said, "The city lord a million years ago is probably already dead, right?"


    The fiend race had long lives and it was extremely hard to die.


    Fiend lord class powerhouses, their lifespans were even as long as several million years and would not easily die.


    But the fiend race territory was not as peaceful as the human race. Even between the two capital cities, they would carry out campaigns on each other too.


    City lords dying in battle was also a common thing.


    Just take Capone Capital City for example. If somebody broke through to Fiend Lord Realm, they might very likely go and challenge the city lord.


    As long as he could kill the city lord, he would be able to replace him.


    Therefore, the replacing of fiend race territory leaders was very fast.


    Some capital cities'' city lords would even change several times in a century!


    The city lord a million years ago, it was virtually very hard to verify already.


    But it was also precisely because of so that fiend race powerhouses were abundant like clouds, their combat strength far surpassing same-rank humans.


    Tiderain City''s martial artists could only resist the fiend army by being all veterans of a hundred battles.


    Ordinary humans, three or four people might not be able to deal with one same-rank fiend.


    All these, Ye Yuan was naturally aware long ago. Asking about it was just holding onto thoughts of getting lucky.


    "Then do you know where in Capone Capital City is information the most accessible?" Ye Yuan asked again.


    Long Zhan blurted out, "Want to say accessible information, it''s naturally the Blood Yama Hall! It''s just that wanting to inquire about intel from their place, it''s probably not that easy."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a nod, "I got it, withdraw."


    ...


    In the Death Cultivation Space, Ye Yuan''s sweat ran down like raindrops.


    The other Ye Yuan opposite him attacked like lightning, one sword faster than the other, already pressuring Ye Yuan to the limits.


    "You weakling, I don''t believe that I can''t kill you! Go to hell!"


    The clone gnashed his teeth in hatred, his eyes revealing a murderous light. A Chasing Moon stabbed towards Ye Yuan''s chest as quick as lightning.


    Ever since the first time entering the Death Cultivation Space, after narrowly escaping death, Ye Yuan already entered the Death Cultivation Space several dozen times.


    Each time, he was dancing on the edge of a knife, accompanied by the death god.


    But each time, he could finish off the clone by a hair''s breadth.


    It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan''s improvement would be so quick.


    For him to fight bravely alone amidst the fiend army, slaying a thousand people, and still leave calmly, it was inseparable from this death training.


    If it were before, Ye Yuan could kill Lang Ge, but he absolutely could not do it so effortlessly.


    Lang Ge''s strength was actually not considered much in the fiend race. It was also not much better than Qin Zheng those guys.


    How could jumping realms to battle be that easy?


    Entering the Death Cultivation Space each time, Ye Yuan really squeezed out every bit of potential.


    Not being able to defeat the clone, he could only die!


    Hence, every time he entered, he had to make progress!


    Even if it was just a tiny bit.


    Sailing against the current, either advance or regress


    Except, this retreat was eternal damnation!


    Gradually, Ye Yuan fell in love with this feeling of being accompanied by death.


    He discovered that this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was simply a genius, to actually be able to come up with such a miraculous cultivation method.


    Because each time he entered, he would have great harvests.


    That feeling of breaking through under extreme conditions was simply too wonderful.


    It was impossible for Ye Yuan to be as intrepid as when he entered the Selfless Realm at that time. Each time he won, it was a hair above the replicate.


    Of course, this kind of dangerous cultivation, Ye Yuan would not rashly go in. That was no different from seeking death.


    Each time he had gained from battle or cultivation, he would enter here and challenge himself!


    Under extreme conditions, Ye Yuan was able to transform these gains into real strength!


    Improving a little bit each time, accumulating day by day and month by month, it was a rather considerable improvement.


    During that battle with the fiend race, Ye Yuan slew a thousand people. It was rather hard to come by tempering.


    To Ye Yuan, how could he possibly miss such a good opportunity for improvement?


    Joining the Fan Family now, he was considered to have settled down. Only then did he have time to hone himself.


    Life and death juncture, Ye Yuan had some comprehension, his figure rushing out like lightning!


    The same Chasing Moon!


    But Ye Yuan''s move was faster, sharper!


    Reaching first despite launching later!


    Pfft!


    Ye Yuan''s sword passed through the chest!


    No fresh blood flowed out, but the clone looked at Ye Yuan with a hateful look and said gloomily, "Why?! Why can you beat me each time?! I �� There will come a day where I''m going to kill you!"


    The Death Cultivation Space''s replicate actually carried the memories last time.


    The clone forced Ye Yuan to the limit time and again, but he was defeated under Ye Yuan''s hands every single time. The negative emotions already accumulated to a very terrifying degree.


    Ye Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a faint smile, "Okay, I''ll be waiting for you!"


    The replicate carried intense unwillingness and dissipated away.


    But Ye Yuan was rather joyful as he said, "Sword Dao Laws second-layered heaven, finally cultivated to grand completion!"

 1479 My Fault?

    Ye Yuan cultivated the sword, reducing complexity to simplicity, which already did not go by convention.


    ''Sundering Stars'' this move, the quintessence was in the word ''chop''.


    While ''Chasing Moon'' this move, the quintessence was in the word ''stab''!


    One straight stab, and it could evolve into millions of moves. However, their core was still the ''stab'' character.


    Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.


    Rigidly adhering to every move and motion would only limit one''s own development.


    Sword Dao Laws second-layered heaven cultivating to grand completion, Ye Yuan''s strength went up another level.


    Killing that Lang Ge again, Ye Yuan was confident that one move would suffice!


    At this time, Long Zhan''s voice came from the outside, "Master, Miss Li Ji requests the pleasure of seeing you."


    "Got it," Ye Yuan answered indifferently.


    When he saw Li Ji, there were even two Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists behind her.


    The moment those two people saw Ye Yuan, they had unfriendly looks.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart. These guys were probably the Fan Family''s guest retainers too, and they knew that his salary was twice of theirs, and were all rather aggrieved. From there, they gave rise to enmity towards him.


    Beside Li Ji, there was even a young fiend race male.


    He sized Ye Yuan up and said to Li Ji, "Li Ji, this is the expert that you said? He looks very ordinary!"


    Li Ji rolled her eyes at him and said, "Fan Yu, just manage your people well will do! My people, don''t need you to bother!"


    Fan Yu smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I don''t bother, I don''t bother! But you have to get it straight, this kid is so handsome. Later, some people will get jealous!"


    Li Ji pursed her mouth and said, "They do themselves, what has it got to do with me?"


    This Fan Yu was Li Ji''s biological elder brother.


    Fiend race women''s status was low and not permitted to carry the surname.


    Even if Li Ji''s looks were akin to a celestial maiden, there was no exception too.


    Finished talking, she said to Ye Yuan, "Brother Source Night, Big Brother and I are going to take part in His Highness Ka Xin''s get-together. Why don''t you and Luo Qi and Pei Lan come together with us?"


    Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to not consent and nodded his head to allow it.


    ...


    Ye Yuan originally thought that the fiend race''s aristocrats did not understand literary pursuits and that the City Lord Manor was definitely very sloven.


    But entering and taking a look, it made him completely change his understanding of the fiend race.


    Fake mountains, pavilions, terraces, footbridges, running water, combined together, they were not the slightest bit inferior compared to human race residences.


    "Wah! What a handsome little brother! Tsk tsk, everyone says that Younger Sister Li Ji is pure and noble, being; vastly different from our fiend race women. Looks like �� you keep your own counsel!"


    Ahead, a man and a woman came up to welcome them.


    When that woman saw the Ye Yuan behind Li Ji, her two eyes immediately shone, a pair of beautiful eyes skimming on Ye Yuan''s body.


    This woman was incomparably seductive. Her looks were actually around on par with Li Ji.


    But that man''s gaze turned cold, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of ice-cold killing intent.


    That woman''s words made Li Ji''s face flush and she spat, "What''s Elder Sister Lian Hua saying? Source Night is my newly recruited guest retainer."


    Lian Hua pulled Li Ji''s hand and said with a smile, "I understand! How can Elder Sister not understand?"


    As she said, she moved close to Li Ji''s ear and said softly, "This Little Brother is really handsome, why not �� lend Elder Sister to play for two days?"


    Li Ji shot Ye Yuan a glance, her expression somewhat ugly as she said, "Elder Sister Lian Hua, if you carry on joking like this, Li Ji is leaving!"


    The man''s brows furrowed and he was even more unhappy. But he still spoke up, "Lian Hua, it''s not that you don''t know Li Ji''s temperament either, stop joking around."


    This man had chiseled features and elegant brows, a rare handsome man of the fiend race.


    It was just that compared to Ye Yuan, he was more than a notch worse.


    This person was none other than precisely the City Lord Manor''s young lord, Ka Xin.


    Lian Hua turned her head and rolled her eyes at Ka Xin and said, "My good elder brother, I''m helping you, how can you be so fierce to me?"


    But Ka Xin ignored her and just said coolly, "Fan Yu, Li Ji, inside please."


    Before long, there were several fiend race disciples in opulent clothing who entered, and they said hello to Ka Xin, the two of them.


    But when they saw the Ye Yuan behind Li Ji, each and every one revealed murderous looks.


    Clearly, they all viewed Ye Yuan as Li Ji''s exclusive chunk of meat, their animosity surging greatly.


    Ye Yuan only had Two-star fiend general strength but was able to become Li Ji''s guest retainer. They would not believe it even if you beat them to death.


    In their view, Ye Yuan definitely got his position by relying on the virtue of his looks.


    Seeing those young masters'' looks, Luo Qi and Pei Lan, the two, exchanged a glance, both revealing gloating smiles.


    Toward these hostile looks, Ye Yuan had a guileless look as well.


    I''m just good-looking, and it''s my fault?


    Who asked you all, these fiends, to all look like such disappointments to your parents?


    After a round of small talk, someone suggested, "Your Highness Ka Xin, time is almost up. Let''s get to sparring?"


    The fiend race loved fighting. This kind of gathering, it naturally could not dispense with fights.


    But Ka Xin smiled slightly and said, "Sparring here and there daily, the few of us all know our backgrounds. Why don''t we change things up today, how''s that?"


    The moment everyone heard, they immediately had their interest aroused.


    "Oh? What kind of novelty does Your Highness Ka Xin have?"


    Ka Xin smiled faintly and said, "A family''s strength isn''t just dependent on the few of us. The family guards'' strength is also very important. Why not today, everybody let their family guards compete? How''s that?"


    The moment everyone heard, they immediately revealed a knowing smile.


    This move was clearly targeted at Ye Yuan.


    "Fine idea! What Your Highness Ka Xin said is right, the family guards'' strength represents a family''s strength to a very large extent!" The moment Ka Xin''s voice faded, someone immediately concurred.


    But the moment Li Ji heard this, she panicked and was just about to speak, but she was held back by Fan Yu.


    Fan Yu smiled and said, "What Your Highness Ka Xin said is right, Fan Yu agrees."


    "You!" Li Ji said angrily.


    Fan Yu''s brows furrowed, shooting a fierce glare at Li Ji.


    Li Ji''s entire body trembled but did not dare to speak anymore.


    This kind of gathering seemed simple. Actually, it was also the venue for the various major families to contend in secret too.


    Cowering at this time, that would utterly lose the Fan Family''s face.


    Ka Xin smiled and said, "Since that''s the case, we have eight people here. Each person comes up with three household guards, battle in pairs, all the way until the three people are all eliminated. Uh �� since it''s the household guards'' competition, let''s add a little more stakes."


    As he said, Ka Xin took out a small bottle. Inside was filled with a paste-like black substance.


    The moment the guest house guards saw, a wave of exclamations immediately burst out.


    "It''s the Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment! This is a body-tempering holy medicine!"


    "With it, I might be able to break through to Three-star fiend commander!"


    "Heh, this Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment is mine! Whoever dares to snatch with me, the outcome is death!"


    ...


    Even Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up too.


    This Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment was a Two-star body-tempering holy medicine. His body-refinement realm had always been stuck at the grand completion realm of the first transformation and kept failing to break through.


    With this Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment, breaking through was a thing to be expected.


    Lian Hua smiled sweetly and said, "Since Big Brother is so generous, I can''t be too stingy either, right? This Emerald Jade Metalheart Pearl will be my stake."


    "Hiss ��"


    Another wave of cold breaths being sucked in spread out.


    Along with each and every one of the stakes being brought out, the group of house guards'' eyes all gave off envy, becoming incomparably fervent.

 1480 Lost Face, Right?

    In front of Ka Xin, eight treasures were placed.


    Each article was a very rare item.


    "These eight treasures will only be awarded to those three people ranked first! After everyone settles on the people going on the field, they are not to substitute. If they are defeated, they can continue to go up the next round. If they die, there can only be two people answering the challenge the next round, so on and so forth. Does everyone have any objections?" Ka Xin said coolly.


    "None, none!"


    "Naturally none!"


    ...


    All of the household guards all waved their hands repeatedly, not having any objections towards Ka Xin''s words at all.


    These kinds of rules were very rare in human regions.


    But in the fiend race territory, it was commonplace.


    Which fight did not have people injured, no loss of lives, would be a strange thing instead.


    But wanting to kill members of the fiend race was not an easy thing.


    The fiend race''s nucleus was the fiend soul. As long as the fiend soul was not exterminated, they could revive.


    Hence, unless the strength disparity was very great between fiends, otherwise, losses of life would not appear.


    These household guards were all grand completion Two-star Fiend Generals. Whoever wanted to kill another fiend was not that easy of a matter.


    Coming to this kind of occasion, the four great families'' disciples were all contending in the dark. Who they brought were naturally the experts among their household guards too.


    And the one and only make do Two-star Fiend General was Ye Yuan.


    This intention of targeting was seriously too obvious.


    The competition was a total of three rounds. In other people''s view, the likelihood of Ye Yuan making it past three rounds alive was virtually zero.


    A household guard who got his position by relying on his looks, how much strength could he have?


    "Starshine, the three of you have to perform well in a while! I see that everyone''s strength is all very formidable. So you guys mustn''t bring down the reputation of City Lord Manor!" Ka Xin said to a household guard beside him with a profound meaning.


    This Starshine had followed Ka Xin for a very long time. So how could he not understand his meaning?


    As long as he ran into Ye Yuan, he must kill him.


    "Your Highness rest assured, Starshine will definitely go all out and not disappoint your highness," Starshine bowed his body and said.


    While on this side, Li Ji whispered to Ye Yuan, "Brother Source Night, if you''re not a match in a while, just take the initiative to admit defeat! Big Brother there still have quite a few experts. Our Fan Family won''t lose."


    Li Ji was not worried about Ye Yuan being directly insta-killed. After all, he was able to kill Lang Ge, his strength already did not lose to ordinary grand completion Two-star fiend generals already.


    But these household guards in front, none of them were mediocre.


    Lang Ge''s strength was not totally enough to look at in front of them.


    The reason why Li Ji solicited Ye Yuan was taking fancy on his potential, and not eyeing his strength.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Li Ji rest assured, Source Night knows what to do."


    ...


    "It''s all this damn burden, making us unable to get those treasures! If not for this brat dragging down, we can definitely win!" Luo Qi said hatefully.


    "Kid, if you have the balls, don''t land in our hands in the future. Otherwise, you''ll get it!" Pei Lan gritted his teeth and said.


    There was a small-scale practice field in this courtyard. After coming to the practice field, Luo Qi and Pei Lan bared their teeth at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said indifferently, "Hope that you guys don''t drag me down in a while."


    "Drag you down? Hahaha, what a joke! If not for drawing close to Miss Li Ji, do you think you have the qualifications to stand here?" Luo Qi said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot!"


    "What did you say?!"


    Luo Qi exploded right away. Luckily, Pei Lan still knew some sense of propriety and hurriedly pulled him, saying, "Alright, alright, now isn''t the time to be quarreling! Whatever there is, go back then resolve it!"


    Luo Qi shot a fierce glare at Ye Yuan and said, "Remember it for me, you''ll get it when we go back! Don''t think that you can be lawless and unbridled with Miss Li Ji covering you!"


    The Capone Capital City''s four great families were the Ka Family, the You Family, the Mo Family, and the Fan Family.


    The Fan Family''s opponent in the first round was the You Family''s You Nie''s household guards.


    When the three people saw this scene, their eyes revealed looks of contempt and said with a light laugh, "Heh, luck is really good, drew three idiots. Haven''t even fought yet and they are in-fighting first."


    "Haha, Young Master You Nie is also Miss Li Ji''s pursuer. Just now, he instructed to definitely exterminate this punk!"


    "Leave this kid to me, I''ll definitely send him on his way!"


    "Heh, Na Qi, you really know how to pick on an easy target! Move faster! Hurry over and help us when you''re done!"


    "Right!"


    The three people chimed in one after another, already directly sentencing Ye Yuan to death.


    This three-people battle rules, the very start was three-versus-three.


    If there was one side who was defeated or had deaths, the victor would be able to join the other two groups, forming a two-versus-one situation, all the way until one side was defeated!


    Hence, if there was an expert whose strength was especially outstanding, they would gain a huge upper-hand.


    Na Qi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a scornful look, "Wake up, kid, you have no chance to admit defeat!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes again and said speechlessly, "Why are there so many idiots?"


    "Heh, razor-tongued brat. In a while, watch how you die!" Na Qi said with a cold smile.


    You Nie watched his scene rather interestedly and said to You Dan beside him with a smile, "Big Brother, do you think this punk will directly admit defeat every round?"


    You Dan smiled and said, "Do you think Ka Xin will let him get off the stage alive?"


    You Nie''s gaze was dark as he said, "Reckless and blind thing, to actually dare have designs on Li Ji! I hope that Na Qi directly finishes him off!"


    "First round battle, begin!" at this time, the City Lord Manor''s household guard directly shouted.


    Swoosh!


    The voice had yet to fade, only to see a streak of cold light flash past!


    Na Qi''s body was clearly still standing on the spot, but the cold light already passed through Ye Yuan''s body.


    When You Nie saw the situation, he could not help bursting into laughter, "Hahaha! He''s too weak! Couldn''t even block one move! Li Ji, this household guard of yours is seriously too weak!"


    But very quickly, You Nie''s loud laughter turned stiff there. Because he discovered that nobody was chiming in with him at all.


    This laugh was so awkward.


    You Nie did not understand. Looking toward the practicing field again, his smile immediately turned stiff on his face.


    No idea when, Ye Yuan and Na Qi actually changed positions!


    And Ye Yuan was completely unscathed!


    "J-Just now, that was an afterimage?"


    In a blink of an eye, the two people actually teleported, changing positions.


    This indicated that what he saw earlier were both afterimages!


    Forget about Na Qi, why was �� Ye Yuan the same too?


    You Dan shot a helpless glance at his younger brother and said with a sigh, "Told you to cultivate more long ago, but you wouldn''t listen! With this, you lost face, right?"


    Fortunately, everyone was in the midst of shock.


    Everyone did not expect that a middle-level Two-star fiend general could actually keep up with a grand completion Two-star Fiend General''s speed!


    Furthermore, speed was clearly Na Qi''s forte.


    Although You Nie''s strength was the weakest among this group of people, he was, at any rate, a grand completion Two-star Fiend General.


    Even he could not keep up with Na Qi''s speed, but Ye Yuan kept up!


    "Could it be a fluke?" Ka Xin frowned and said.


    But Lian Hua wore a smile on her face and said, "Tsk tsk, seems �� rather interesting! I''m becoming more and more interested in Little Brother[1]!"


    Na Qi''s move failed to carry out, his expression was sullen to the extreme.


    "Terrific lad, go to hell!" Na Qi roared and rushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    [1] Little Brother here is actually closer to Oppa.

 1481 Sleepy

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Na Qi and Ye Yuan, the two people''s figures moved quickly, their speed swift to the extreme.


    You Nie watched until his eyes were dazzled, only feeling one afterimage after another made his entire person dizzy.


    You Nie was a true-blue silkpants. Although he had a grand completion Two-star Fiend General cultivation realm, his strength was far lacking.


    His visual prowess could not keep up with the two people''s speed at all.


    Na Qi had two claws worn on his wrist. A hundred claw strikes came out in a blink of an eye.


    But each time, it would brush past Ye Yuan.


    Each time, it was missing that little bit.


    The claws scratched here and there around Ye Yuan, but could not touch him. This drove Na Qi crazy.


    "Damn fellow, attack if you have the capabilities! What kind of ability is it considered to dodge and hide?"


    On the practicing field, came Na Qi''s roar.


    "This is what you said." Ye Yuan''s figure moved swiftly, but his words were calm.


    "Rubbish, of course I said it! If you have the capabilities, fight openly! Do you, a pretty boy, only know how to dodge?" Na Qi bellowed angrily.


    Pfft!


    A sharp sword directly pierced Na Qi''s head, grounding his fiend soul into smithereens.


    His roar also came to an abrupt end.


    "The moment I attack, you''re dead," looking at Na Qi''s corpse, Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    "Fool! Unleashed a hundred moves and couldn''t even touch the corners of his sleeves, he actually still didn''t realize the disparity and still wanted him to attack! Truly seeking death!" You Dan said with a cold snort.


    You Nie said blankly, "What �� What happened?"


    In his eyes, Na Qi had always been suppressing Ye Yuan.


    Why was he gone all of a sudden?


    Ka Xin''s expression turned dark, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes and he snorted coldly, but then he fell silent.


    Li Ji''s gaze turned intent and a hint of intoxication actually flashed across her eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s every move and stance was truly cool to the extreme.


    Good-looking, strength was even that formidable, really could not pick out any shortcomings!


    She also did not think that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful.


    Seemed like when he killed that Lang Ge, Ye Yuan did not use his full strength at all.


    "This kid is so strong! Looks like we all underestimated him!"


    "Originally thought that he''s the weakest among the three, so I didn''t expect that his strength was the greatest!"


    "He''s just a middle-stage Two-star Fiend General, truly inconceivable!"


    "Eh �� what''s he doing?"


    ...


    In the midst of everyone''s exclamations, Ye Yuan hugged his sword and slowly retreated to the edge of the field, and actually found a corner and went to sleep.


    Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people had fallen into a bitter fight, but already knew that Ye Yuan had won.


    They originally thought that Ye Yuan would help. In the end, glimpsing through their peripherals, they discovered that Ye Yuan actually went to sleep, and were immediately enraged until smoke bellowed from all seven orifices.


    "Punk, quickly come and help!"


    "Hey, Source Night, don''t you want those treasures?"


    The two people started yelling anxiously. But what answered them was Ye Yuan''s snoring.


    This guy actually fell asleep?


    Must be feigned!


    Didn''t this guy know what was called putting the big picture first?


    Even if there was any grudge, it should also be settled after winning the opponent!


    The two people remaining on You Nie''s side originally thought that Ye Yuan would take the chance and come over to help.


    In the end, Ye Yuan actually went over there and snored loudly in his sleep!


    Happiness came too suddenly, making them rather overwhelmed.


    Internal strife was really great!


    With this, they naturally would not be silly enough to go and provoke Ye Yuan, but they want to finish off these two in front of them as soon as possible.


    This way, they would surely win going two-on-one.


    Hence, they became more valiant as they fought, killing until Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people were in a flurry.


    Fortunately, both Luo Qi and Pei Lan still had some strength. After a bout of bitter fighting, the two of them both narrowly won their opponents.


    The first round was actually cleared with dangers!


    The moment it ended, Luo Qi exploded, coming to Ye Yuan''s side ablaze with anger and berated, "Kid, what''s the meaning? We could clearly finish off the opponent very quickly, but you''re snoring loudly in your sleep here!"


    Ye Yuan opened both eyes with a drowsy look and said blurry, "Mn? Ended? Sorry about it, slept too late yesterday. I was sleepy."


    "Pffft!"


    Everyone guffawed with laughter. This reason �� was seriously too crappy.


    A Two-star Fiend General powerhouse, even if they did not sleep for a decade, it was nothing. But Ye Yuan said that he was sleepy.


    Luo Qi had a hideous look on his face, becoming virtually contorted at this time.


    "You!" Luo Qi was practically going nuts.


    Ye Yuan stood up, yawned, and said with a still dissatisfied appearance, "Eh? Nobody came to find me, could it be that we won? Uh �� two seniors'' strengths are indeed very formidable, Source Night admires! The battle at the back will still have to rely on the two of you."


    As he said, Ye Yuan clasped his hands and had a very humble look, directly angering the two people until they were about to vomit blood.


    Ye Yuan''s comical appearance tickled Li Ji until she shook with laughter.


    The fiend race men were all bold and unconstrained, yelling about killing at every turn. How many had a fine sense of humor like Ye Yuan?


    Good-looking, young, powerful strength, and even humorous!


    Such a man simply had a fatal attraction toward fiend race women.


    Not just Li Ji, Lian Hua''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was similarly extremely intoxicated.


    After a farce, it was other teams'' turn to compete.


    Sure enough, the strength of Ka Xin''s team was very powerful, finishing off the opponent virtually as easy as blowing off dust.


    You Dan''s group also won Lian Hua''s group, obtaining a spot in the semi-finals.


    While Fan Yu''s group also defeated the Mo Family''s group, obtaining a top four spot.


    This way, the Fan Family actually took two spots, while the Mo Family was directly eliminated.


    With this lottery draw, the Fan Family brother and sister were actually put in the same group.


    Li Ji said with a smug look, "Big Brother, didn''t you say that my men are no good? Now, us brother and sister are going to fight!"


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s strength, Fan Yu was greatly astonished too.


    Only then did he know that he seemed to have really misunderstood his younger sister.


    This Source Night, not only did he have the looks, he even had the strength!


    The argument of relying on looks to get his position was probably false.


    "Heh, then us brother and sister will compete! I''ll say it first, they won''t go easy. These things are too tempting, even if I make them go easy, they wouldn''t be willing either," Fan Yu said with a laugh.


    Li Ji smiled and said, "I won''t go easy too!"


    The first team up in this round was Ka Xin''s team and You Dan''s team. After a bout of fierce fighting, it was still Ka Xin''s team who won.


    Such a battle, what it tested most was the balance of the three people''s strength.


    Clearly, the strength of Ka Xin''s group of three were all steady until it terrified people.


    The advantage of the City Lord Manor could not be what the other three families could compare to.


    When the other two teams were fighting, Pei Lan pulled Luo Qi to one side and said in a low voice, "This round, if he still dares to sleep, we''ll directly admit defeat! Didn''t this kid scam us? This time, we''ll scam him too! Young master Fan Yu''s those three aren''t nice people. Either way, you and I can''t win either. If this kid is wise, perhaps we''d still have hopes of winning."


    Luo Qi nodded his head and said, "Alright, do it that way!"

 1482 Changing Rules

    On Fan Yu''s side, the one taking the lead was called Xiu Ning.


    Ye Yuan''s opponent was precisely him.


    However, this Xiu Ning had witnessed Ye Yuan''s means and was clearly very apprehensive toward him.


    "Brother Source Night has excellent skills; Xiu Ning admires. However, Luo Qi and Pei Lan are too weak, they can''t win Starshine. Why not you admit defeat, those eight treasures obtained, we''ll share two with you, how about it?" Xiu Ning looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people''s expressions both changed and they said in a solemn voice, "Xiu Ning, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Xiu Ning said coolly, "Everyone is one of our own and know our own backgrounds. Even if you all rely on Brother Source Night to win us, it''s also not possible to be Starshine, their group''s match. Might as well directly admit defeat."


    Luo Qi was angered by Xiu Ning until he choked and said with a cold snort, "We can''t win, does it mean that the three of you can win?"


    Xiu Ning said, "Honestly speaking, no assurance. Bu, the chances are at least greater than you three, no?"


    Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people both had livid faces, extremely unwilling in their hearts


    But they also knew that what Xiu Ning said was right.


    With two battles, Starshine and the others, the three of their strengths were indeed not on the same level as the rest; terrifyingly stable.


    "You guys can''t win. I''d better go on my own," right then, Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiu Ning''s expression changed, but Luo Qi and Pei Lan, two people, revealed a look of great joy.


    "Begin!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xiu Ning''s expression turned dark, an iron fist attacking with a loud bang.


    The moment he attacked, it could topple mountains and overturn the seas.


    This Xiu Ning''s strength was indeed not what Luo Qi and Pei Lan two people could compare to. As for that Na Qi, he was even less on the same level.


    Just with Ye Yuan appraising, this Luo Qi''s strength was already not inferior to the Qin Tian back then.


    In comparison, Qin Tian was incredibly weak.


    After all, this Xiu Ning was just a grand completion Two-star, but Qin Tian was a half-step Origin Deity.


    This Xiu Ning''s concepts comprehension were exceedingly strong. His combat experience was also extremely rich. He wore a profound divine artifact glove, a pair of iron fists were actually evenly-matched with Ye Yuan.


    However, the current Ye Yuan was already no longer the Ye Yuan back then.


    If he encountered Qin Tian now, he did not need to rely on other people''s strength at all. Him alone would suffice.


    Qin Tian was powerful, but that was also just powerful in Wu Meng Capital City.


    Among the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s same-rank martial artists, those more powerful than him were too many.


    Ye Yuan had experienced the tempering of the Death Cultivation Space, fighting instincts growing with each passing day.


    Xiu Ning this level did not pose any threat to him at all.


    Whoosh!


    The Evil Extermination Sword was akin to a phantom, arriving in front of Xiu Ning''s face.


    An inch further and Xiu Ning''s life would be considered gone.


    "All admit defeat, we''re all our own people. It will be unsightly if lives were lost," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The other two clearly did not expect that Xiu Ning was defeated so quickly.


    They were still thinking of defeating Luo Qi and Pei Lan as quickly as possible, and then go and encircle and suppress Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan would not give them the chance at all.


    At this time, the other two groups all stopped.


    Ye Yuan said, "I''ll only give one chance. If you still want to continue, I won''t show mercy!"


    Sensing the sharp edge at the tip of his nose, Xiu Ning broke out in cold sweat all over his body.


    "I �� I admit defeat!" Xiu Ning said unwillingly.


    The other two people''s faces flickered for a while, but finally still admitted defeat.


    Just like this, Ye Yuan''s group entered the finals without shedding a drop of blood.


    Luo Qi and Pei Lan revealed wildly elated looks on their faces. They were only a step away from those eight treasures.


    How could Ye Yuan not know these two people''s expressions? It was just that he sneered coldly in his heart.


    In this world, the most terrifying thing was not the enemy being powerful, but overestimating your own ability.


    Although treasures were good, one also had to have the life to take it!


    Ka Xin looked at this scene, the expression on his face very ugly.


    He called Starshine to his side and asked softly, "I didn''t expect that this punk is a character who plays a sucker to catch a sucker! You watched his fights, so how do you feel?"


    Starshine said, "In my view, this kid still held back when dealing with Xiu Ning!"


    Ka Xin''s brows furrowed and he said, "Then do you have confidence in winning him?"


    Starshine smiled and said, "Your Highness rest assured, he held back. But how could Starshine not have held back too? Moreover, this is a three-people battle. Hu Yan and Hu Luo, the two brothers'' strengths are much stronger than those two! The last fight, we''ll definitely win!"


    Hearing Starshine confident words, Ka Xin''s face finally revealed a smile and said, "Not just take the victory, but also take �� his life!"


    Starshine thought about it and said, "This punk''s movement technique is extremely fast, there''s some difficulty. But �� Starshine will do my best!"


    Only then did Ka Xin smile with satisfaction.


    In the box-room on this side, Li Ji looked at Fan Yu with a smug look and said, "How is it? Still want to send some experts over now? Hehe ��"


    Fan Yu said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you''re impressive, okay? But where did you find this lad? This person is too strong!"


    Li Ji smiled and said, "Picked up by the road!"


    Fan Yu rolled his eyes, but he said, "This chap''s strength is decent. He can even have a showdown with that Starshine. It''s just too bad that the other two are too weak. This last round is most likely fraught with grim possibilities."


    But Li Ji said without a care, "Being able to fight to this extent, I''m already very satisfied. The last round win or not is already of no great importance. At least, they have already gained face for the Fan Family."


    Fan Yu nodded his head, feeling that Li Ji''s words made sense too.


    The City Lord Manor''s resources were far from what the other three families could compare to.


    Losing to them was not unjust.


    ...


    In the last round, both parties appeared on the stage.


    Starshine grinned hideously and said, "Kid, your strength is very formidable! Why not this round, let''s fight to our heart''s content, what say you?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "In what way to our heart''s content?"


    Starshine said, "Last round, let''s change the rules a bit, not allowed to take the initiative to concede! Only dying in battle and being knocked out of the ring can one walk off. What do you think?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don''t have objections."


    But Luo Qi and Pei Lan''s expressions changed, clearly having the intention of withdrawing.


    The fiend race being warlike did not mean that they were not afraid of death.


    Clearly aware that they could not match the opponent and still want to fight to the death, they were not fools either.


    According to Starshine''s rules, the battle''s danger would greatly increase.


    Starshine glanced at them and said disdainfully, "If you don''t dare, just directly admit defeat! These eight treasures will belong to us! Heh heh, that Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment, I''ve asked His Highness for a long time already and he couldn''t bear to give it to me."


    Luo Qi and Pei Lan''s expressions changed again and again. Finally, they still gritted their teeth and said, "Change then, who''s afraid of whom!"


    Concerning Hu Yan and Hu Luo''s strength, they had observed from the sidelines for a long time already.


    Although stronger than them, it was also not strong to the point that they could not even escape.


    If they could not win, just directly exit the ring would do.


    "Haha, good, gutsy enough!" Starshine laughed loudly when he heard.


    But Li Ji''s expression changed. She smelled a hint of a plot and spoke up, "No way!"


    But Ka Xin smiled and said, "Li Ji, their two parties, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer. Let''s not intervene. Or do you have so little confidence in your own household guards and feel that they don''t even have the chance to escape?"

 1483 Phantom Kill

    This matter was settled like this!


    The battle started!


    Whoosh!


    A black metal rod smashed down towards Ye Yuan''s head virtually without any sound of whistling through the air.


    "So fast!"


    "Starshine actually concealed his strength!"


    "No, wait! The three of them all concealed their strengths!"


    ...


    The overwhelming black metal rod was akin to the arm directing the fingers in Starshine''s hands.


    The moment he attacked, it was earth-shattering!


    This was a completely different concept from his performance earlier.


    Regardless of whether speed, power, or laws comprehension, it was on a completely different level.


    Not just Starshine, but that Hu Yan and Hu Luo, the two brothers, also suddenly erupted. The moment they made their move, they locked down Luo Qi and Pei Lan.


    However, Starshine''s strength was undoubtedly the strongest among the three!


    This rod strike, if it was his opponent just now, he would probably be able to make him explode in one move!


    Those opponents previously, each and every one of them had lingering fear at this time.


    Luckily, Starshine''s target was Ye Yuan. Otherwise, they would have long croaked at this time.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly and he revealed a mocking smile. Not retreating but advancing instead, his figure suddenly burst forth.


    Clank!


    A clear sound transmitted over. The tip of Ye Yuan''s sword tapped onto the metal rod accurately, sweeping away the metal rod.


    A surge of vibration force transmitted from the end of the rod. Starshine only felt his arm go numb, the metal rod almost slipping out of his hand.


    At this instant, Starshine was extremely shocked in his heart.


    This sword looked simple, but in reality, the difficulty was extremely great.


    He had faced-off with quite a few people who used swords before and had never seen before counterattacking him with this kind of method.


    The metal rod was merely two fingers thick. Furthermore, the rod-body was round. Under such a quick situation, wanting to hit the metal rod, what kind of visual acuity and control was needed?


    If there was the slightest mistake, one rod landed and it was the outcome was dying, one''s Dao vanishing.


    This guy was simply a freak!


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    A series of metal clashing sounds came over. In a blink, the two people exchanged several dozen moves and were actually evenly-matched!


    Those household guards were all dumbfounded with shock.


    "This Source Night indeed concealed his strength too!"


    "A mere middle-level Two-star fiend general can actually perform to such an extent! Truly terrifying!"


    "How the hell did this kid cultivate? Strength clearly isn''t strong, but combat power is so strong!"


    ...


    But right then, Luo Qi and Pei Lan could not hold on anymore.


    Under Hu Yan and Hu Luo''s powerful pressure, the two only had the ability to parry and not the strength to retaliate.


    Only at this time did they realize why Starshine would propose that rule.


    When they wanted to run away now, they could not do it at all!


    "I concede! I concede! I beg you, let me off!" Luo Qi bellowed.


    Hu Yan grinned hideously and said, "Heh, it''s useless, die!"


    "Puhwark!"


    An iron first of Hu Yan''s directly smashed Luo Qi into a meat patty.


    At virtually the same time, Pei Lan was killed by Hu Luo too.


    With this, the situation changed drastically!


    In the practicing field, it actually instantly became a three-versus-one situation!


    Starshine, Hu Yan, Hu Luo, three people, assumed a triangle formation, surrounding Ye Yuan in the center, cutting off all of his escape routes.


    "Heh, didn''t expect it right, kid? Those two fools actually still harbored the thoughts of getting lucky, think that they could escape alive. Actually, our goal right from the start is you! Now, we''re three-on-one, see where you run!" Starshine laughed loudly and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at a fool and said nonchalantly, "Who told you that I''m going to run?"


    "Heh, punk, still want to put on a brave front? You are by yourself and still want to deal with the three of us?" Hu Yan laughed coldly.


    "Fool who overestimates his own strength, do you really think that you''re invincible?" Hu Luo mocked.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Forever can''t communicate with fools."


    "Humph! Complacent fool who feels good about himself! Do you really think that you can defy the heavens? I''ll let you take a look at my true strength!" Starshine said with a cold smile.


    "Demons and Monsters Pandemonium!"


    Starshine shouted with countless rodd images greeting Ye Yuan.


    This was already the power of laws of Rod Dao third-layered heaven. It could virtually sweep across those in the same rank.


    Now, using it to deal with a middle-level Two-star Fiend General could be said to be overkill.


    At the same time, Hu Yan and Hu Luo, two people, also made a move at the same time!


    For a moment, the violent spiritual energy undulations turned the practicing field upside down.


    Ye Yuan was as weak as a small rowboat under the three people''s joint-attacks!


    When Ka Xin saw this scene, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    He did not feel that Ye Yuan could survive under these three people''s pincer attack.


    "Heh, my good little sister, next time, Big Brother will find you a good one next time. This punk touched my reverse scale, so I must kill him!" Ka Xin''s gaze looked toward Li Ji and he said in a solemn voice.


    Seeing Li Ji''s nervous appearance, a hint of delight flashed across in Ka Xin''s heart.


    He had always been paying attention to Li Ji. In the beginning, he discovered that he seemed to really have misunderstood Li Ji.


    But later, Li Ji''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became more and more infatuated. This made him have a feeling of shooting himself in the foot.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan must die!


    Lian Hua said with an indifferent look, "I''m still alright. Rather, Li Ji''s there, so you''ll probably be unable to bear the consequences."


    Ka Xin''s face turned dark and he said, "This matter will slowly fade in the future. But if that brat is still alive, that''s the biggest threat!"


    At this time, Starshine three people''s attacks were launched at the same time!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Countless attacks landed where Ye Yuan stood, virtually shattering that region of space.


    Powerful undulations seeped out of the array formation, making everyone feel waves of shock.


    This was a true expert!


    Too strong!


    "It''s over. This magnitude of attack, even a half-step Fiend Commander probably can''t block it too, right?"


    "Source Night is definitely deader than dead. Completely can''t sense his undulations."


    "Pity about a genius, who asked him to offend His Highness Ka Xin?"


    ...


    A wave of sympathy came from all of the household guards. This Source Night was undoubtedly a genius. It was too bad that he did not know how to weigh and consider the situation, offending the powerful His Highness Ka Xin.


    Death was also something within expectations.


    Ka Xin looked at the practicing field with a cloud of smoke floating over it, a hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    But right at this time, a voice sounded out in everyone''s ear akin to a voice transmitting out from hell.


    "Chasing Moon �� Phantom Kill!"


    Starshine''s gaze turned intent, revealing a look of astonishment!


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    But he had yet to have time to be shocked yet and was no longer conscious anymore.


    Several whistling sounds came successively in the practicing field. Then Starshine three people''s bodies directly exploded.


    Ye Yuan''s body slowly appeared, still standing on the spot, as if he had never moved.


    Ye Yuan was completely unscathed. It was just that his complexion appeared rather pale, the fiend energy on his body also dissipated considerably.


    But his opponents were already deader than dead.


    "What happened just now? Did �� Did you guys see?"


    "No! I didn''t see anything!"


    "Fast! Too fast! What a swift sword art!"


    ...


    Everyone all changed countenance visibly, totally not seeing clearly what happened just now.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the practicing field, came before Ka Xin, and said with a faint smile, "Many thanks for Your Highness Ka Xin''s reward."

 1484 Dragon Soul Awakens Again

    Ka Xin''s expression was grim until it was almost dripping water.


    The others were all silent like cicadas in winter. Disregarding Ye Yuan killing Starshine three people, he still wanted to come before Ka Xin to slap his face. This way of doing things seriously made people palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    "Take it, this is what you deserve!"


    These few words, Ka Xin practically squeezed it out of the crevices between his teeth.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, taking the eight treasures all into his possession.


    "If there''s this kind of good thing next time, Your Highness Ka Xin mustn''t forget Source Night." Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Ka Xin''s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold light as he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Relax, definitely won''t forget you!"


    Li Ji discovered that the atmosphere was somewhat stiff. He stood up and said with an awkward smile, "Many thanks for Your Highness Ka Xin generous hospitality. We''ll be leaving first."


    A get-together dispersed with ill feelings.


    But Ye Yuan did not care. He returned fully loaded.


    These eight treasures indeed had quite a number of good stuff.


    After everyone left, Lian Hua smiled at Ka Xin and said, "Within this Capone Capital City, it''s been very long since anyone could make you suffer such a huge loss. Hehe �� this Source Night is really interesting."


    Ka Xin said with a solemn face, "For provoking me, he''s dead! Immediately go to the Blood Yama Hall to issue a mission. Post a reward of 30 million low-grade fiend essence stones. I want his head!"


    Lian Hua smiled and said, "You really think highly of him. Killing an ordinary middle-level Two-star fiend general only needs three million, but you added a full ten-fold; much more expensive than even a grand completion Two-star Fiend General''s price!"


    "Humph! Is he an ordinary middle-level Two-star Fiend General?" Ka Xin said with a cold snort.


    ...


    Returning to the Fan Family, Ye Yuan entered a closed-seclusion state once more, and he startedto take Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment.


    Ye Yuan''s Nine Transformations Golden Body was already stuck at the first transformation for very long and kept failing to break through.


    About body-refinement''s breakthrough, the requirement towards resources was more stringent. Ordinary spirit medicines could not have an effect at all.


    Nine Transformations Golden Body, each transformation was more difficult than the last.


    From the first transformation to the second transformation, the difficulty was many times harder than breaking through from the Grotto Profound Deity Realm to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.


    Ordinary people were unable to shoulder this kind of terrifying resource consumption at all.


    If not for Ye Yuan obtaining a One Transformation Profound Gold Pill previously, even grand completion first transformation was very hard to achieve too.


    This Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment was a body-refinement spirit medicine. Inside mixed in many extremely rare body-refinement materials. It was a priceless treasure.


    In order to kill Ye Yuan, Ka Xin also put forth blood capital.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan overcame all the difficulties along the way. In the end, it was obtained by Ye Yuan himself.


    Ye Yuan applied the Blackjade Profound Spirit Ointment evenly on his body and started revolving his skill to absorb the medicinal strength.


    Very soon, a strong burning sensation came from Ye Yuan''s body.


    Along with the passing of time, the burning sensation became stronger and stronger.


    Each breakthrough of body-refinement was an extremely tortuous process.


    A single mishap and one would even fall into a situation of eternal damnation.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan forcefully consumed the Tiger Dragon Creation Pill, that feeling of wishing he was dead was still vivid in his mind to this date.


    Now, this kind of pain paled in comparison to that time.


    Half a month later, after Ye Yuan withstood the ravaging of wave after wave of ecstasy, he finally broke through to the Nine Transformations Golden Body''s second transformation!


    Ye Yuan''s body left behind a pile of fetid order black-colored sludge. That was the impurities extracted from his body after he completed the second transformation.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s body emitted rays of golden light. Compared to the first transformation, it was much brighter.


    "Finally broke through! Ever since cultivating to Deity Realm, the progress of body-refinement became slower and slower. Now, it''s already completely thrown to the back by divine essence realm!" Ye Yuan lamented.


    "The Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art you cultivate is already gradually getting into conflict with the bloodline power within your body! This cultivation method has excessive defense and lacking offense; violating the dragon race''s tyrannical bloodline power Heavenly Dao. The guy who imparted to you the cultivation method is simply a fool!" Dustless said unhappily.


    "Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"


    In the Immortal Grove World, Skydistant sneezed three times in a row and said in puzzlement, "Could there be someone talking bad about me behind my back? Why did I sneeze so hard?"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "But apart from this cultivation method, I don''t know other body-refinement cultivation methods either!"


    It was undeniable, the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art helped Ye Yuan a lot in the past.


    If not for the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art, he could not even pass through the spatial storm.


    But now, this cultivation method was already gradually restricting his cultivation.


    The cultivation method did not lie in power, but compatibility with oneself.


    This was also the reason why Ye Yuan insisted on creating a cultivation method belonging to himself.


    Dustless smiled and said, "The dragon race has their own body-refinement cultivation method. You broke through to the second transformation golden body. Presumably, you should be able to learn it!"


    Ye Yuan froze. Suddenly, his head buzzed, and his consciousness was dragged into another space.


    "Roar!"


    An earth-shaking dragon roar sounded out. An azure dragon phantom circled non-stop around Ye Yuan.


    Finally, it submerged into Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness.


    When Ye Yuan opened his eyes once more, he realized plenty of new information appeared in his mind, making his face reveal a look of wild ecstasy.


    "Waited so long, finally awakened for the second time! Hahaha! Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art''s second level, Voice of the Dragon God''s second level, Universe Dragon Claw, Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body! With the second awakening, I really obtained quite a few good stuff!" Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    This second awakening, Ye Yuan grasped four powerful dragon race cultivation methods all at once.


    Not commenting about the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, after breaking through to the second level, his recovery ability would go up another level.


    The Voice of the Dragon God was already Ye Yuan''s sound-wave martial technique that he had not seen for ages. The first level was already of somewhat little value to the current Ye Yuan.


    With the second level, as long as Ye Yuan utilised the power of the fleshy body, it would be a major killing tool again.


    The Universe Dragon Claw was the second of the dragon race''s three great paramount martial techniques!


    Its power was not at all inferior compared to the Voice of the Dragon God.


    But what made Ye Yuan the most excited was none other than the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, this cultivation method.


    Previously, he was still saying that he did not have the dragon race''s body-refinement cultivation method. Now, it came!


    Looks like Dustless had long expected it. That was why he would say those words.


    Ye Yuan employing the Voice of the Dragon God and Universe Dragon Claw with the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, the powerful would be a magnitude greater!


    "Heh, the dragon race is also a supreme existence among the Heavenspan World''s demon race! As long as you continuously awaken, it will make you benefit to no end!" Dustless said with a light laugh.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said, "Senior, just what origin is this dragon race''s progenitor? What kind of realm was he?"


    Immortal Grove World''s dragon race progenitor''s realm determined the height that Ye Yuan''s Atavism Dragon Soul could reach. Ye Yuan was naturally very concerned.


    Dustless said, "Ao Qin that punk was True God Realm! As long as you keep on awakening, reaching the sixth transformation golden body by relying on the power of the fleshy body is no issue!"


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted when he heard that. He knew that the dragon race''s progenitor might be very strong, but he did not think that he was powerful to such a degree!


    True God Realm, that was an existence that the vast majority of the Heavenspan World''s powerhouses all needed to look up too.


    "Senior, where did the Four Symbols Family Clans'' progenitors go?" Ye Yuan said curiously.

 1485 Blood Yama Hall

    "The four great progenitors were the Immortal Grove World''s realm guardian divine beasts, and also Immortal Grove''s most important companions. With Immortal Grove perishing and his Dao vanishing, their situation is probably no better too. As for where they are, I''m not sure either. Back then, I''d already fallen into a deep sleep and was sent back into that realm by Immortal Grove. The events later, I don''t remember much."


    Mentioning this, Dustless''s expression became downcast too.


    Clearly, what happened back then was not a pleasant memory.


    "Senior, don''t think too much about the events back then. This Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang''s lineage, I won''t let a single one go!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Dustless looked at Ye Yuan in relief, his expression calming down slightly.


    He knew that if Ye Yuan could grow up step by step like now, taking revenge for Immortal Grove was not something impossible.


    The time that followed, Ye Yuan re-tempered his fleshy body according to the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body''s cultivation method, and indeed felt extremely unhindered.


    That feeling of stagnation previously completely vanished without a trace.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that this Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body was a very high-level body-refinement cultivation method; much more impressive than even the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art.


    Ye Yuan spent three full year''s time to temper his fleshy body. After finished tempering, his body-refinement realm actually already reached grand completion initial-stage second transformation.


    Just missing a step and he could catch up to his divine essence realm already.


    "Indeed, it''s still the dragon race''s cultivation methods that''s the smoothest when cultivating!" Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile.


    Before Deity Realm, Ye Yuan still did not feel anything when cultivating the Black Tortoise Treasure Body Divine Art.


    But after the first transformation golden body was completed, Ye Yuan felt his cultivation speed become slower and slower.


    The method of cultivation was clearly not wrong, but his strength was unable to advance.


    Now, this kind of feeling was completely gone.


    The three years in the World Suppressing Stele, merely three months passed in the outside world.


    When Ye Yuan exited seclusion, he discovered that Li Ji was actually already waiting outside the door long ago.


    "Miss Li Ji, you''re ��" Ye Yuan said with a blank look.


    He discovered that Li Ji looked at him with eyes exuding tender affection, just like a maiden who became enamored.


    Li Ji''s face turned red and she said bashfully, "Brother Source Night cultivates so diligently, no wonder you have such strength at a young age. Li Ji has already waited for two months here."


    Ye Yuan secretly felt a headache come on. This fiend race girl was really bold and enthusiastic!


    Li Ji did not indulge like other fiend race women. But once she encountered who she liked, she would become very forward and liberal.


    This �� was going to launch an offensive against him.


    Li Ji was not too alike the average fiend race women. The other fiend race women all did not refuse any admission, but she was different.


    Ka Xin was one of the best among the young generation, his strength rated as invincible among Capone Capital City''s young generation.


    Yet, she did not like him.


    Ye Yuan was somewhat of a different type. He had no lack of meticulousness amidst ruggedness, unrestrained, yet not barbaric. He was very different from the average fiend race men.


    Originally, she just felt that Ye Yuan was good-looking and pleasing to the eye, and did not have too much of a feeling.


    But Ye Yuan''s performance previously was too eye-catching. That Phantom Kill move unleashing, it captured Li Ji''s heart all at once.


    "This �� Miss Li Ji finding Source Night, is there something?" Ye Yuan said.


    Li Ji''s beautiful eyes looked straight at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Why? Can''t I come and look for you if there''s nothing?"


    Ye Yuan sweated profusely and said, "Of course not."


    Li Ji said gloomily, "Source Night, I discovered that you''re really different from the rest! If it were someone else, this young lady being so forward, they would probably have long been at a loss on what to do with joy. Yet, you seem to avoid me like the plague."


    Ye Yuan chortled with laughter and said, "Isn''t Miss Li Ji different from the rest too? Ka Xin is one of the top young heroes in the capital city. How many girls are infatuated with him? Yet, you speak brusquely towards him."


    Li Ji smiled and said, "That''s because �� he isn''t as good-looking at you!"


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "Huhu, that''s true!"


    Ye Yuan was living under someone else''s roof now and could not express too reservedly either. Otherwise, it would definitely incur suspicion.


    Li Ji laughed until she shook with laughter, clearly being tickled by Ye Yuan''s humor.


    "Hehe, it''s also too boring for you to cultivate every day. Why not �� we go for a stroll around the capital city, how''s that?" Li Ji asked probingly.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Just nice, I also want to take a trip to the Blood Yama Hall. Why not Miss Li Ji take a trip with me, is that alright?"


    Li Ji revealed a surprised look and said curiously, "What are you going to Blood Yama Hall for?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Source Night has a relative who went missing and wants to go to Blood Yama Hall to inquire about it."


    Li Ji revealed a look of realization and said, "Like that huh, then �� this young lady will accompany you."


    ...


    Blood Yama Hall was a powerful underground organization of Capone Capital City.


    This organization was not just limited to Capone Capital City. Its network and power spread throughout the entire Eminent Orchid Imperial City.


    The might of its strength, even the City Lord Manor did not dare to easily get on bad terms with it.


    Different from the City Lord Manor lording over a city, the Blood Yama Hall''s goal was to earn money.


    It was just that their methods of earning money were different from conventional means.


    Blood Yama Hall was divided into quite a few halls: Blood Battle Hall, Assassination Hall, Hundred Knows Hall, Fiend Medicine Hall, so on and so forth.


    All in all, their methods of earning money were mostly some things that could not be exposed to the public.


    When everyone heard the Blood Yama Hall''s name, they loved and hated it.


    For example, Fiend Medicine Hall this place was somewhat similar to the Alchemist Association; a place specifically to refine medicinal pills.


    The fiend race alchemists were called fiend apothecaries. The name was different, but it was actually about the same as human alchemists.


    Except, the fiend race''s medicinal pills were very different from the human race''s; two entirely different approaches.


    Fiend apothecaries'' status in the fiend race was extremely revered. Because the fiend race was seriously too weak in this aspect.


    The fiend race was warlike and valued valiantness. But making medicinal pills, this sort of delicate work, not many could really be qualified.


    Hence, the fiend race''s fiend apothecaries were much rarer than the human race''s alchemists. Each one had exceedingly high statuses.


    The fiend race did not lack powerful martial artists but lacked powerful fiend apothecaries.


    Hence, everyone all liked the Fiend Medicine Hall, this place, but was afraid of the Assassination Hall, this sort of place.


    As for the Blood Battle Hall, that was a killing field, and also the gambling place of the capital city''s various major noble clans. It was very bloody.


    The Hundred Knows Hall was naturally the place to inquire about information.


    The moment Ye Yuan and Li Ji went out the door, they were locked on by someone.


    Huo En was the Assassination Hall''s heaven rank fiend general assassin. His strength belonged to the pinnacle-most existences among the Assassination Hall''s fiend general killers.


    He had kept watch for three month''s time in the Fan Family''s vicinity and finally managed to wait for Ye Yuan. But he did not expect that he came out together with Li Ji.


    The Assassination Hall had a rule, one was not allowed to make a move against the four great families'' direct line of descent disciples.


    Of course, if they were paid a sufficient price, they would take action anyway.


    The four great families'' influence was enormous in the capital city. Pull one hair and the whole body was affected.


    Even the Blood Yama Hall, this kind of major force, was not willing to easily offend as well.


    "No wonder Ka Xin wants to kill this brat. He actually won over Capone Capital City''s famous cold-beauty! Consider yourself lucky, kid, let you live a while more! Mn? They are going to the Blood Yama Hall?"


    Huo En''s brows shot up, revealing a hint of a smile.

 1486 All So Weak?

    "Hey, are my eyes failing me? Miss Li Ji she �� is actually snuggling up to a man?"


    "F*ck me, Miss Li Ji is my dream lover. She �� actually has someone she likes already! Truly a fresh flower stuck onto a pile of cow dung!"


    "Are your eyes blind? Compared to that kid, you''re the cow dung, okay?"


    "This kid looks like a human. He''s definitely a lead spearhead that looks silver; looks good but useless! I didn''t expect that Miss Li Ji actually digs this type!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan and Li Ji two people walking on the capital city''s streets incurred waves of exclamations.


    If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have long died several tens of thousands of times already.


    Regardless of whether it was the fiend race men or human race men, they all had an accursed attribute, that was that what could not be obtained was the best.


    Li Ji was Capone Capital City''s famous cold-beauty, the pursuers countless, including Ka Xin this kind of young outstanding talent.


    But not a single one could move her heart.


    But now, their goddess was actually captured by someone. This was simply a piece of explosive major news.


    On the entire street, it was suffused with a thick sour smell.


    This was not knocking over a vinegar jar, but knocking over a vinegar sea; already drowning the entire street[1].


    The moment they went out the door, Li Ji snuggled up to him very daringly. A delicate fragrance bored right into his nostrils, making him involuntarily feel his mind rattle.


    One had to admit, Li Ji was an exceedingly beautiful stunner.


    Unrestrained but without losing inner-restraint, enthusiastic but without losing shyness. It was very different from the average fiend race women.


    She did not enthrall people, but bystanders would involuntarily be attracted by her.


    On the surface, Ye Yuan held his chin up and chest out, seemingly feeling proud for conquering this belle.


    But in his heart, Ye Yuan was crying bitterness without ceasing.


    No matter how good Li Ji was, she could not compare to Yue Mengli and Mu Lingxue''s position in his heart too.


    It was just that forced by the circumstances, he could only put on a show too.


    "Fiend Medicine Hall? Miss Li Ji, why don''t we enter here to take a look first?"


    The two people passed by a pavilion. On it was written ''Fiend Medicine Hall'', these three words stirring Ye Yuan''s heart.


    He wanted to refine a Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill right now and was still lacking some spirit medicines.


    Just now passing by the Fiend Medicine Hall, he naturally had to go in and take a look.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Li Ji''s eyes and she said in surprise, "Could it be that you''re even a fiend apothecary?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Understand a thing or two."


    Li Ji suddenly beamed widely and said, "I''m accompanying you, you go where you want to."


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    ...


    The two people entered the Fiend Medicine Hall. Waves of rumbling sounds came from inside.


    Fire seething with activity made the entire Fiend Medicine Hall''s temperature become very high.


    No idea what the Fiend Medicine Hall''s people were thinking either, to actually put the medicine refining room in the outer-hall.


    Four to five old men were currently working hand in hand, urging the furnace fire non-stop, bustling until their faces were covered in sweat.


    Ye Yuan only swept a glance and unwittingly shook his head secretly.


    It looked like he overestimated the fiend apothecaries'' alchemy standards.


    This kind of standard did not even count as apprentice level in front of him.


    The Heavenspan World''s races were numerous, and Alchemy Dao was categorized into various forms. Hence, there was also no centralized organization similar to the Alchemist Association.


    The standard of alchemy would depend on the grade of the medicinal pills refined.


    But these fiend apothecaries'' refinement techniques were simply crude to the extreme. Ye Yuan could not quite bear to look straight at it.


    Of course, this was also due to his level being too high.


    When he was at One-star Alchemy God, he could already give guidance to the peak Three-star Xiao Feng. The height of his level could be imagined.


    Now, Ye Yuan broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Realm, his Alchemy Dao level naturally rose higher along with it.


    These few years, Ye Yuan''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, but his Alchemy Dao similarly did not fall behind.


    Ye Yuan entered the Dao with alchemy, creating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon. His deep understanding of Alchemy Dao, others could not understand it at all.


    With the World Suppressing Stele in hand, Ye Yuan had ample time to study Alchemy Dao.


    There were even quite a few middle-aged fiend apothecaries crowding around the old men.


    It looked like they should be One-star fiend apothecaries.


    Clearly, they were all learning.


    Ye Yuan suddenly turned toward Li Ji curiously and asked, "Are Capone Capital City''s fiend apothecaries all so weak?"


    Li Ji suddenly looked up, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    Weak?


    These few in front were leading authority-class figures among Two-star fiend apothecaries!


    Even the four great families had many requests for them too. Nobody dared to offend them.


    These people would actually be said to be weak!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Puu, puu, puu!


    At virtually the same time, everyone suddenly turned their heads and looked at Ye Yuan.


    The medicinal pills in those few pill furnaces were virtually scrapped at the same time.


    Ye Yuan himself was also stunned. He asked very softly and even thought that these people all could not hear.


    He did not expect that everybody heard his words!


    One had to know, when alchemists were refining pills, they all gave their full attention, having no distractions in their hearts.


    Even when learning, one should also put in their heart and soul.


    How could his soft voice be heard by people?


    Ye Yuan still really did not understand the standards of the fiend race alchemists and even thought that these few old men were just small-fry class figures. Hence, that was why he would ask this.


    But looking at it now, it seemed like he caused an uproar.


    "Brat, you''re a toad yawning[2]; what high-sounding sentiments!" One of the old men who was abnormally ugly looked at Ye Yuan and gave a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan had yet to speak when Li Ji hurriedly spoke up, "Haha, Grandpa Meng Qi, this is a misunderstanding! In Capone Capital City, who doesn''t know that you''re a leading alchemy authority? Source Night, why haven''t you quickly apologized to Grandpa Meng Qi?!"


    Li Ji winked hard at Ye Yuan, signaling him to hurry up and apologize.


    Except, Meng Qi clearly did not want to let Ye Yuan off so easily. He snorted coldly and said, "So, it''s the Fan Family''s lass. Could this be a boy toy that you recruited? Strength isn''t powerful, but his tone isn''t small! This old man refined medicinal pills throughout his lifetime. Today, I was actually said to be too weak by a brat still wet behind his ears! Haha, interesting, very interesting!"


    Li Ji had an embarrassed look as he said, "Grandpa Meng Qi must be joking. In the entire Capone Capital City, who doesn''t know the renown of the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders? Source Night he''s new here and momentarily let his tongue slip, isn''t that right, Source Night?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I really want to flatter them a bit, I seriously can''t utter it. Can''t even concentrate when refining pills, what kind of good medicinal pills can you refine anyway?"


    Li Ji''s expression changed, not expecting that Ye Yuan''s temper was so stubborn, to actually not be willing to lower his head.


    She knew that Ye Yuan was very proud and also had the capital to be haughty. But in alchemy, these few were already old men who had made a name for themselves long ago.


    Ye Yuan''s boasting was bragged too overboard.


    Ye Yuan merely swept a glance earlier and could tell the level of alchemy standard?


    This boy was also too haughty, too condescending!


    She kind-heartedly helped him to mediate, this guy actually still went from bad to worse.


    However, Li Ji did not know, Ye Yuan could compromise in other aspects. Only in alchemy, he was truly unable to meet halfway.


    Making him butter up some guys who were not even fit to do chores for him, he really could not do it.


    "Haha, good! Very good! Kid, your hair isn''t even fully grown yet, but to actually dare utter this kind of boasting! This old man wants to see how high a level you are!" Seeing Ye Yuan''s attitude, Meng Qi laughed from extreme fury.


    [1] Vinegar = jealousy


    [2] Very unusual idiom, means a taunting boast

 1487 Can Give It a Try

    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So-so I guess. But it should be slightly higher than you all."


    One sentence nearly choked everyone to death.


    Seen before shamelessness, but never seen before this shameless!


    This skill of climbing up along the shaft was already at the acme of perfection!


    "Where did this punk pop out from? To actually dare be so arrogant!"


    "The five elders have immersed in Alchemy Dao for all their lives, their alchemy strengths have long attained the acme of perfection. How can they let a fool tarnish their reputation?"


    "Lord Meng Qi, being so long-winded with this brat for what? Directly kill him!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words directly incurred public wrath.


    When Li Ji saw that the scene was somewhat out of control, she winked furiously at Ye Yuan in anxiety.


    She was secretly pouring out endless grievances in her heart. At this rate, this big sister can''t save you anyhow!


    Meng Qi''s gaze was slightly cold. Using a hand gesture to stop the others'' excoriation, he said in a cold voice, "Brat, spouting wild drivel in the Fiend Medicine Hall, the Fan Family can''t save you no matter what! Come, men! Cripple this brat for me and throw him to the medicine garden as fertilizer!"


    Under Meng Qi''s command, over a dozen big strong men suddenly popped out in the hall. One look and it was clear that they were not weak.


    Li Ji''s expression changed drastically. Pulling Meng Qi''s arm, she begged, "Grandpa Meng Qi, you watched Li Ji grow up since young! He �� He''s my man. I beg you, give him a way out, alright?"


    Li Ji''s tone was virtually carrying tears.


    She was all too clear about the might of the Blood Yama Hall''s Fiend Medicine Hall. The Fan Family also could not possibly go to war with the Fiend Medicine Hall because of a puny little Source Night.


    Really angering the Fiend Medicine Hall, directly destroying the Fan Family was also not impossible!


    Meng Qi glanced at Li Ji, looked at Ye Yuan again, and said with a cold snort, "Brat, don''t say that this old man didn''t give you a chance! These five furnaces of scrapped pills, you pick one at will. Able to differentiate any scrap pill''s 30% composition, I''ll spare your life!"


    Li Ji panicked again the moment she heard and said, "Grandpa Meng Qi!"


    Meng Qi gave a snort and said, "Lass, if not looking on the account of your face, this old man won''t even give him this bit of chance! If he understands alchemy, then forget it. If this kid pretends to know what he doesn''t know and ruins this old man''s reputation here, could it be that this old man still has to let him off?"


    Differentiating a scrap pill''s composition. To very proficient Fiend Apothecaries, they might not be able to say it all correctly.


    Differentiating a scrap pill''s composition was totally different from distinguishing a medicinal embryo''s composition.


    Scrap pills'' various ingredients had already fused together through the pill furnace''s tempering; making no distinction between each other.


    Wanting to differentiate, the difficulty was immense.


    Even Meng Qi himself, if under the situation of not knowing the pill formula, he could at most differentiate 70% too.


    Him making this request of Ye Yuan was not considered excessive. It really gave some face to Li Ji.


    But his own face still had to be preserved too.


    30%, no less!


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just differentiating the elements, easy."


    "Easy? Not afraid of twisting your tongue when bragging too! Lass, you don''t even give face to Ka Xin that brat. At the end of the day, you found such a hothead?" Meng Qi billowed his beard and glared as he said.


    Li Ji''s face turned red and could not help looking over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, directly coming in front of Meng Qi''s medicinal cauldron. Palm surging forward, a ball of black sticky substance was shaken out.


    Seeing this, a hint of surprise was briefly shown on Meng Qi''s face.


    When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Ye Yuan''s grasp toward medicinal cauldrons was evident. One look, and he was obviously a very experienced person.


    It looked like this kid was really an expert.


    It was just that, wanting to say that Ye Yuan could differentiate the scrap pill''s composition, he did not believe.


    Ye Yuan observed slightly for a while, sniffed, and said coolly, "Inside, there''s Dragon Beard Root, Fiend Flame Crystal, Rosewood Assimilation Crane Grass ��"


    Ye Yuan took his time and reported the names of each and every spirit medicine.


    With each name reported, the expression on everyone''s face was a degree more shocked.


    After Ye Yuan reported the final name, he pursed his lips and said, "It''s a shame, your control over fire is too inadequate. In the first step of tempering, the fire was 30% too hot. In the third step, it was 20% too weak. The fourth step �� Furthermore, your attention was so scattered when you refine pills; you''re completely unable to integrate the Dao accumulations. Even if you form the pill, it is at most also just low-grade."


    Everyone''s gazes all looked toward Meng Qi. These things, they could not tell, and were all very curious, wanting to listen to Meng Qi''s own view.


    There was no expression on Meng Qi''s face, seemingly turning his nose up at Ye Yuan''s remarks.


    Actually, in his heart, monstrous waves had long been set off already.


    This kid was formidable! To actually discern so many things from a scrap pill!


    One''s personal affairs, one would be aware. Although Meng Qi''s standard was lousy, he was a pill refining veteran already as well. How could he not know where he went wrong?


    But knowing did not mean being able to overcome.


    There was a limit to a person''s strength and when methods were pointless. At times, no matter how hard one worked, they were also unable to break through.


    Alchemy was a delicate task in the first place. It could not allow the slightest hint of error.


    However, Meng Qi was at any rate a leading authority-class figure among Fiend Apothecaries. Being preached to in public by a kid still wet behind his hearts, where would he put his face?


    He toughened his scalp and answered back sarcastically, "Heh, do you know how great the refinement difficulty of the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill is? You argued it reasonably and logically. If you have the ability, refine one for me to see!"


    The Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill was indeed a very hard to refine Two-star divine pill. Among Capone Capital City''s Two-star Fiend Apothecaries, only he could refine it.


    Even the others present could not refine it at all.


    Hence, he wanted to use this sentence to shut Ye Yuan''s mouth, and make him stop ''talking nonsense''.


    However, he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "You really want me to refine?"


    Meng Qi was first stunned, following that, his expression turned sullen and he said, "Rubbish! Who doesn''t know how to speak thoughtlessly? You say that we all can''t do it, then you refine one for me to see! If you can''t refine, hurry up and get lost for this old man!"


    He did not believe that this punk could really refine the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill!


    These words sounded very tough on the surface, but actually, it was already equivalent to acknowledging Ye Yuan''s level.


    Ye Yuan''s composition was said without the slightest error. This point could not be hoodwinked.


    Meng Qi reckoned that Ye Yuan definitely had a very formidable master at the back and taught his basic skills very solidly.


    But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, he did not believe even if he was beaten to death.


    Without several thousand years of cultivation, wanting to refine this difficulty of Two-star divine pill was virtually impossible!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, I really never refined before."


    Hearing this, Meng Qi''s heart eased up. This kid finally yielded.


    He was just about to speak, but heard Ye Yuan say leisurely, "But if insisting for me to refine, I can give it a try."


    Meng Qi nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. Don''t have such a long pause when talking!


    Hang on, first time refining?


    "Kid, did you take the wrong medicine? Do you think that you''re the Medicine Ancestor? No matter what kind of medicinal pill, you''re able to produce it off the top of your head?"


    "You never refined before the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill. This is deliberately toying with us?"


    "Lord Meng Qi already spared your life, you still want to go too far, is it?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately brought down a wave of condemnation.

 1488 Borrowing Divine Fire to Use

    "Medicine Ancestor? Who''s Medicine Ancestor? Could it be �� one of the Dao Ancestors?"


    When Ye Yuan heard this name, his heart involuntarily stirred, and started communicating with Dustless through his consciousness.


    Dustless said, "The Medicine Ancestor isn''t a Dao Ancestor, but his status in the Heavenspan World is extremely high. One can say that he''s the earliest ancestor of the Heavenspan World''s Path of Medicinal Pills. Inside the houses of many alchemists, they would even enshrine and worship his memorial tablet!"


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "There''s actually such a figure! He calls himself Medicine Ancestor without authorization. Could it be that the nine great Dao Ancestors would let it go unchecked?"


    Dustless smiled and said, "The nine great Dao Ancestors are above worldly considerations and normally don''t care about the Heavenspan World''s matters. Moreover, the Medicine Ancestor''s position is indeed very special. The nine great Dao Ancestors each control a region of Heavenly Dao laws; virtually invincible existences. But the Dao of Alchemy''s strongest person, the Medicine Ancestor, doesn''t control a Heavenly Dao. But his strength is acknowledged by all of the Dao Ancestors. Of course, don''t talk about the Medicine Ancestor, even a transcendent Heavenly Emperor, this kind of existence, is also not what the likes of us can estimate."


    Ye Yuan''s lifelong pursuit was the limits of Alchemy Dao.


    Toward the Alchemy Dao''s paramount existence, Ye Yuan was naturally fascinated.


    "I didn''t expect that the Heavenspan World actually had such a character! I really hope that one day, I can sit and debate on Dao with him!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    ...


    Meng Qi''s expression turned slightly dark. He could not quite grasp Ye Yuan anymore.


    Want to say that Ye Yuan had no ability, Ye Yuan really said out all of the medicinal pill''s elements.


    But to say that Ye Yuan could refine the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, he did not believe even if beaten to death.


    "Humph! Prepare the spirit medicines! I want to see what kind of medicinal pill he can refine! Kid, don''t blame me for not warning you, I''ll give you three chances. If you can''t refine, bear the consequences yourself!" Meng Qi said solemnly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "Relax, this level of medicinal pill still can''t stump me. Don''t need three times, once is enough."


    "Haha, what high-sounding sentiments! Young man, better to be a little more low-key, or the wind might sprain your tongue!" Meng Qi laughed from extreme fury.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer.


    Very soon, the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill''s spirit medicines were ready.


    Ye Yuan said to Meng Qi, "Borrow divine fire to use!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces all revealed a peculiar look.


    A Fiend Apothecary actually did not have his own divine fire?


    Did this guy really know how to refine pills?


    A divine fire was the divine rank state of essence fires.


    Ye Yuan''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had long already advanced to divine rank and become a divine fire. But after Ye Yuan broke through to Heaven Glimpse Realm, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame did not evolve along with it.


    Now, when Ye Yuan refined pills, there was no convenient divine fire to use. He could only find Meng Qi to borrow fire.


    "Looks like I have to find a chance to let the Cleansing Sandal Flame Lotus evolve. This isn''t the way to go. If only Fiery was by my side."


    Ye Yuan sighed emotionally in his heart and unwittingly missed Fiery.


    On the road of becoming a fugitive, Ye Yuan virtually spent all of his savings, just to familiarize himself with Two-star spirit medicines'' medicinal properties.


    When he came out of Wu Meng Capital City, the low-grade divine essence stones on Ye Yuan were very sizable. He had about as much as 80 million.


    The divine essence stones that the Myriad Treasure Tower awarded to Ye Yuan was 40 million.


    In addition, Ye Yuan successively killed Qin Tian as well as Lin Xiu, Qin Zheng, and the rest. The storage rings on them were all taken into Ye Yuan''s possession.


    Counting it together, when Ye Yuan left, the divine essence stones on him were plenty.


    On the way of fleeing, each time Ye Yuan reached a city, he would sweep up the goods and purchase spirit medicines.


    Presently, there was already plenty of room to spare for Ye Yuan to refine Two-star divine pills.


    But this Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, it was really his first time refining.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove studied the fiend race''s medicinal pills greatly. But Ye Yuan only obtained the knowledge from Dustless there after all. As for the specifics of how to refine, he had not tested it before.


    But with Ye Yuan''s present alchemy strength, refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, this kind of medicinal pill, was nothing difficult.


    Meng Qi gave a cold snort and held his palm out. A pale-white fire seedling appeared in the palm of his hand.


    "A Fiend Apothecary without even a divine fire actually dares to spout empty rhetoric too! I want to see how you refine pills! Humph!" Meng Qi said with a cold snort.


    The fire seedling floated over in Ye Yuan''s direction. Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. With a slight finger movement, the small fire seedling immediately grew into a fire tree.


    The exquisiteness of the technique, those Fiend Apothecaries actually could not see through!


    "White Elegance Devil Flame. Uh, it''s not bad. I''ll make do and use it then," Ye Yuan said.


    When Meng Qi saw this scene, he could not help being shocked inwardly.


    Disregarding anything else, just this technique of controlling fire was much stronger than him.


    His own divine fire was actually so obedient and docile reaching Ye Yuan''s hands. This made titanic waves set off in his heart.


    Even he himself could not do it to this degree too!


    This �� This was also demoralizing.


    However, this was just the beginning.


    When Ye Yuan started refining the pill, Meng Qi''s pride was directly washed away by wave after wave of floodwaters!


    "What impressive fire controlling methods! This kid actually really knows how to refine pills! Furthermore �� his level is quite high!"


    "What kind of refinement method is this? Never seen it before!"


    "Yeah! It''s totally different from our pill refining techniques! But why do I feel that this technique is of a much higher level than ours?"


    "Stupid! That Dao accumulation! His technique secretly contains Heavenly Dao, obtaining Heavenly Dao''s support!"


    ...


    Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, Meng Qi was utterly dumbfounded.


    This was a true expert!


    Just this pill refining technique was already on a completely different level than him!


    The Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders all had their eyes glued at this time, fearful of missing any step.


    This kind of master-level refinement could not be seen simply if they want to!


    Li Ji''s cherry lips opened slightly and never shut before the whole time.


    Cool!


    Too cool!


    She watched Ye Yuan refine pills and was actually wholly enraptured.


    Since young, she had also seen quite a few Fiend Medicine Hall''s fiend apothecaries refining pills.


    But no one had ever given her this feeling of being refreshed in mind and spirit.


    "Condense!"


    No idea how long had passed either, and then it was only to hear Ye Yuan cry out lightly. The furnace fire extinguished, the medicinal pill formed!


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, "First time refining, the fire control still isn''t quite there yet. The quality of the medicinal pill is probably not too ideal."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan reached out his hand and beckoned. A medicinal pill flew into the jade vessel.


    "S-Superior-grade! Superior-grade Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill! Hiss ��"


    Everyone all sucked in a mouthful of cold air, looking at Ye Yuan like they had seen ghosts.


    This medicinal pill barely managed to reach the level of superior-grade.


    Superior-grade Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill was still called not too ideal?


    Meng Qi wished to give himself a tight slap. This was too demoralizing!


    Him refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill, the best grade was also just middle-grade. He had never refined before high-grade.


    Another person refining for the first time, and it was a superior-grade!


    This disparity �� was too great!


    He did not doubt Ye Yuan''s excuse. Meng Qi knew that it was probably really Ye Yuan''s first time refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill!


    Even though Ye Yuan''s refining technique was extremely profound, that awkwardness and inexperience when just starting could not be concealed.


    This kind of situation, he had seen them too many times among newbies.


    But along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan clearly gradually entered an optimal state and found the feeling. Hence, the more he refined, the smoother it got.

 1489 Already Came, Leaving for What?

    "Your Highness Ka Xin, please wait!"


    Ka Xin brought Lian Huo and just entered the Fiend Medicine Hall when he was stopped by a One-star Fiend Apothecary.


    Although Ka Xin''s status in the capital city was very high, in the Fiend Medicine Hall, he did not dare to be unbridled too.


    "Ah, Brother Lu He. I made an appointment with Lord Meng Qi ten days ago. There are some important matters to discuss with him," Ka Xin cupped his fists and said.


    Even though the other party was just a One-star Fiend Apothecary, he was Lord Meng Qi''s accomplished disciple. Ordinary people could not afford to offend.


    Lu He said, "Apologies, Your Highness Ka Xin. Master he''s currently meeting an important guest in the inner-hall and has already instructed, nobody is to disturb him!"


    Ka Xin frowned and said, "Even I''m not an exception too? I''m here representing the City Lord Manor, this matter is likewise no trivial matter! Moreover, I''ve already made an appointment ten days ago."


    "This ��"


    Lu He''s face revealed a difficult look. Ka Xin''s status was indeed extraordinary.


    Moreover, Ka Xin was not here representing himself. He was representing the City Lord Manor.


    Although the Blood Yama Hall did not fear the City Lord Manor, face still had to be given.


    "Why not �� Better trouble Brother Lu He to go and pass on a word. Presumably, Lord Meng Qi won''t dismiss me," Ka Xin said with clasped hands.


    Lu He thought about it, nodded, and said, "Alright then, I''ll go and ask Master."


    Lu He turned around and went in. Lian Hua smiled and said, "Wonder what kind of big shot Lord Meng Qi is seeing, to actually even ignore our affairs."


    Ka Xin smiled and said, "To be able to refuse us outside the door, it must be an incredible major figure. I reckon that it might very likely be a Three-star Fiend Apothecary."


    Lian Hua nodded her head, clearly quite in approval of this.


    Coincidentally, Fan Yu also entered the Fiend Medicine Hall at this time.


    Seeing Ka Xin and Lian Hua, Fan Yu''s heart thumped, secretly thinking not good.


    The Fiend Medicine Hall released a batch of medicinal pills recently. They were in very high demand now. Quite a few factions went into action without delay.


    Among these, the one with the strongest competitive power was naturally the City Lord Manor.


    Although the alchemy strength of Meng Qi and the rest were too trash in front of Ye Yuan, the medicinal pills produced by the Fiend Medicine Hall were indeed very popular in Capone Capital City.


    In the fiend race, good Fiend Apothecaries were too few.


    The City Lord Manor had long gotten the news. Hence, Ka Xin made an appointment with Meng Qi ten days ago to meet today.


    Ka Xin had a smile on his face as he said, "Heh, Brother Fan Yu came a step late. Lord Meng Qi isn''t meeting guests today, better go back."


    Fan Yu''s expression was somewhat ugly as he said with a cold snort, "Your City Lord Manor eating meat, aren''t you even going to leave a mouthful of soup for people to drink? This time, our Fan Family will definitely fight it out with you!"


    Ka Xin laughed and said, "Heh, I''m about to go in and finalize this matter with Lord Meng Qi right away, what will you use to fight to the bitter end with me? Haha, want to fight it out, come early next time."


    The muscles on Fan Yu''s face twitched a few times, suddenly feeling powerless.


    The four great families'' foundations were still much worse compared to the City Lord Manor!


    People had money and power. Each time the price offered, it was 30% higher than the rest. How to discuss things?


    At this time, Le He came out of the inner-hall, the expression on his face rather ugly.


    When Ka Xin saw Lu He''s expression, his heart involuntarily thumped.


    "Brother Lu He, what did Lord Meng Qi say?" Ka Xin said with clasped hands.


    Lu He said crossly, "Your Highness Ka Xin, please return! I asked you to go back, but you insisted on me going to disturb Master! Now, just great. I got a good scolding from him right to my face, are you happy?"


    Clearly, Lu He was already unable to maintain his original demeanor.


    This scolding was not light!


    Just now, the moment he entered and just reported Ka Xin''s name, he was scolded angrily by Meng Qi. Even expelling from tutelage, this kind of words, was uttered.


    It would be weird if Lu He''s mood could be good!


    Ka Xin had an awkward look. Stuffing a storage ring into Lu He''s hands, he said, "Here are 50 thousand low-grade fiend essence stones, just take it as Brother Lu He''s laboring fees. Since Lord Meng Qi is meeting an important guest, then Ka Xin won''t disturb anymore. I''ll come to visit again another day."


    Who knew that Lu He directly pushed the storage ring back and said, "Just now, Master was already very angry and even said expelling me from tutelage, this kind of words! Aren''t you making me take the road to ruin here? Quickly go, quickly go!"


    Ka Xin was extremely depressed. He did not know just what kind of important guest Meng Qi was meeting.


    Even meeting City Lord, it would not be to an extent where he expelled his own disciple from his tutelage for relaying a message, right?


    Moreover, he did not hear of any remarkable major figure who came to the city recently!


    Later, better inquire about it, and make some appropriate compensation.


    If he were to offend the Fiend Medicine Hall because of this matter, the losses would outweigh the gains.


    Getting rebuffed, Ka Xin had an unhappy look too.


    He glimpsed at the Fan Yu who was unwilling to give up by the side, and he said indifferently, "Come on, didn''t hear that Lord Meng Qi is currently meeting an important guest? Could it be that you want to cause Brother Lu He to be scolded one more time?"


    These words had somewhat of an ulterior motive. It was clearly to irritate Lu He!


    Lu He was in a bad mood just now and directly ignored the Fan Yu by the side.


    Only after Ka Xin saying this did he notice that Fan Yu had already stood at one side for very long.


    Lu He took care of many things for Meng Qi throughout the year and was also a smooth and artful figure.


    When he saw Fan Yu, his eyes immediately lit up and he went forward to greet with a smile: "Turns out that Young Master Fan Yu came too. Apologies, apologies, Lu He did not entertain well."


    Those words of Ka Xin''s just now actually already made Fan Yu give up.


    He did not expect that Lu He actually took the initiative to engage in small talk with him.


    One had to know, he did not even give face to Ka Xin earlier!


    "What''s Brother Lu He saying? It''s Fan Yu who suddenly paid a visit and imposed on you," Fan Yu hurriedly said.


    Lu He smiled and said, "Young Master Fan Yu coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, it''s also in order to request an audience with Master, right?"


    Fan Yu was slightly embarrassed, but still nodded his head and said, "Fan Yu will leave right away and won''t cause trouble for Brother Lu He anymore."


    Lu He was taken aback with fright and hurriedly pulled him, saying, "Don''t! Already came, leaving for what? I''ll go in to report right away, you wait a minute."


    Done talking, Lu He directly turned around and left.


    Ka Xin already walked to the entrance, but forcefully stopped his footsteps.


    He looked at Lu He''s departing back view, enraged until his complexion was livid!


    What the hell was this?


    Since the beginning to end, Lu He never showed him a good attitude.


    Even if he agreed to go in and report just now, it was also with a reluctant look.


    But now, Fan Yu himself said that he was going to leave, but Lu He took the initiative to hang onto Fan Yu and not let him leave. Lu He even took the initiative to go in and report!


    Didn''t he say earlier that Meng Qi even said about expelling from tutelage, this kind of words?


    Fan Yu himself also had a baffled look, completely not knowing what happened.


    His relationship with Lu He did not seem to be good to this kind of extent, right?


    Before long, Lu He came out gleefully and said to Fan Yu, "Master said, let Young Master Fan Yu wait in the side-hall for a while. When he''s done over at his side, he''ll immediately come and see you!"


    Happiness arrived too suddenly. Fan Yu completely did not react to it.


    What happened?


    By the side, Ka Xin''s expression was long already black as the bottom of a wok.

 1490 Double Standards

    "Brother Lu He, what''s this? Didn''t you say that Lord Meng Qi isn''t seeing anyone?"


    Ka Xin tried his best to make his tone seem calmer, covering up the rage in his heart.


    This double standard was also a little too obvious, right?


    He had not even left yet!


    Lu He''s brows furrowed and he said unhappily, "Mn? Your meaning is that I''m lying to you? Why not do this then? After Master comes out, we''ll confront face-to-face?"


    Although Ka Xin tried his best to control his tone, the skepticism in his words could not be concealed no matter what.


    Lu He''s anger rose up with a puff.


    He helped him go in to report. Putting aside that he did not get any benefits, he was even scolded angrily by Master.


    Meng Qi did not have just him, one disciple, alone. A single misstep and he fell out of favor, there would be nothing to do with him in the future.


    Forget it if Ka Xin was not grateful, he even wanted to question him.


    Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. Lu He finally stopped showing Ka Xin a nice attitude.


    Ka Xin said with an awkward look, "Brother Lu He misunderstood. I ��"


    Lu He directly cut off his words and said with a cold smile, "I didn''t misunderstand anything! The matter previously, just take it as it didn''t happen. Consider it myself being opinionated. Just treat it as I was careless in making friends. Your Highness Ka Xin, please go back!"


    Ka Xin''s expression changed, knowing that this was offending Lu He to the core.


    He stood there, unable to leave nor stay.


    Lu He said in a cold voice, "Why? Your Highness is not leaving? Could it be that you still want me to send Your Highness out?"


    Ka Xin finally left dejectedly. But the grievance nursed in his heart, no one could understand.


    With his status and standing, when had he been subjected to this kind of treatment in Capone Capital City before?


    The more he thought, the more amiss it felt, and he said in a solemn voice, "There must be something wrong with this! How can the Fan Family and Fiend Medicine Hall''s relationship possibly compare to ours? Today''s incident is too abnormal, I must investigate clearly who Meng Qi was meeting!"


    ...


    Fan Yu followed Lu He to the side-hall with a blank look. Pushing the door and taking a look, he saw an all too familiar figure.


    "Li Ji? Why are you here?!" Fan Yu said in surprise.


    "Eh? You came too? I �� I was accompanying Source Night to stroll around in the city. He said to come to the Fiend Medicine Hall to take a look and I followed." Li Ji said with a slightly red face.


    "Came with Source Night? Where is he?" Fan Yu said with a dark expression.


    This punk, his younger sister accompanied to come out, but he was good, hanging his younger sister out here alone to dry.


    But a glimmer of smugness flashed across in Li Ji''s eyes as she said with a smile, "He''s currently chatting with Grandpa Meng Qi! This chat lasted three days and three nights!"


    "What?!" Fan Yu nearly jumped up, being taken aback with fright by Li Ji''s sentence.


    He turned his head and looked at Lu He, and said with his eyes wide-open, "Brother Lu He, the important guest that you said wouldn''t be Source Night, right?"


    Lu He beamed and said, "Who else can it be if not him? Heh, your Fan Family really remained deeply hidden, to have actually invited this kind of big shot and still maintaining your countenance."


    Fan Yu said with a confused look, "B-Big shot?"


    Source Night''s strength was indeed not bad, but to say big shot, it was a little too far-fetched, right?


    What in the world �� happened in-between this?


    Lu He even thought that Fan Yu knew. But looking at it now, he was really kept in a dark.


    Li Ji said with a proud face, "Big Brother, I only knew that Source Night was actually even a Fiend Apothecary when I saw Source Night refining pills too! Furthermore, it''s the very formidable kind ��"


    Li Ji described the events that happened previously with a look of excitement, making Fan Yu dumbfounded with shock.


    His first reaction was, was this Source Night really that Source Night he knew?


    Source Night''s age seemed to be even quite a bit younger than him. How could he possibly be a fiend apothecary that even Lord Meng Qi looked up to?


    But Li Ji was here, who could that be if not that Source Night?


    He originally thought that Meng Qi was meeting some remarkable important person, that was why he would not even give face to Ka Xin.


    He did not expect that it was actually Source Night!


    No wonder, oh, no wonder!


    That excitement when Lu He saw him, turned out that it was because of Source Night!


    What kind of character was Fan Yu? He practically reacted to it right away. Lu He being extra familiar with him was treating him as a straw to clutch at.


    Previously, because of helping Ka Xin to pass a message, he offended Meng Qi.


    But he was Li Ji''s elder brother. Li Ji and Source Night''s relationship was very ambiguous. Meng Qi naturally regarded him as someone very close to Source Night.


    This �� Why did it feel like a dream?


    ...


    A full three days had already passed since the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders listened to Ye Yuan''s sermon on Dao.


    These three day''s time, Meng Qi five people listened like they were in ecstasy and enrapture.


    They had never known that pill refining still had so many tricks involved!


    Especially when Ye Yuan performed a skill to focus on pill refinement, they used all kinds of methods and also could not distract Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    Finally, Ye Yuan still refined a high-level medicinal pill, making them marvel in astonishment.


    Only then did they know why Ye Yuan would say that they were weak previously.


    They could not even accomplish the most basic focusing, let alone talk about refining high-level medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan also knew that the fiend race''s disposition was hot-tempered. Most were frank without tact. Making him focus on pill refinement was indeed making things a little hard.


    But, where there was a will, there was a way. Meng Qi they all failing to do so was primarily still because their method was not right.


    Ye Yuan casually imparted some spirit calming and mind focusing spells to them. These old fellows were all akin to having obtained a priceless treasure, endlessly grateful towards Ye Yuan.


    Meng Qi was currently in high spirits when Lu He came in and said that Ka Xin was looking for him. How could he not be furious?


    Compared to advancing his own alchemy strength, what the hell did Ka Xin count as?!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, right, talking nonsense with you all these few days, forgot all about proper business."


    The five elders were rendered speechless. How did this transmission and preaching of Dao become talking nonsense?


    Except, the things that Ye Yuan narrated to them were really not that profound.


    Similar to focusing, it was alchemists'' basic skills, the five elders all could not do it.


    For them to be able to refine complete medicinal pills could not be said to not be a kind of miracle.


    Of course, even though Ye Yuan turned his nose up at the five elders'' pill refinement, he could not underestimate fiend apothecaries either.


    The fiend race''s alchemy skills also had quite a few saving graces.


    "I wonder what the proper business Master Source Night said is? Meng Qi will send people to go and do it right away! I beseech Master Source Night to be generous and preach Dao to us for a few more days!"


    Meng Qi was incomparably respectful towards Ye Yuan now. Ye Yuan''s alchemy standard was an existence that he could not look up to at all.


    He even felt that those few Three-star fiend apothecaries in the city could not compare to a fraction of Master Source Night too!


    Even though they could refine Three-star medicinal pills.


    But Ye Yuan said, "Preaching Dao will end here first. Coming to the Fiend Medicine Hall, I just wanted to purchase a few kinds of spirit medicines. In addition, I still have some matters and want to take a trip to the Hundred Knows Hall. You all can''t do it on my behalf."


    The moment Meng Qi said, he hurriedly said, "Isn''t Master Source Night smacking Meng Qi''s face by saying this? Just a few kinds of spirit medicines, what''s there to buy? As long as the Fiend Medicine Hall has it, feel free to take it! If there isn''t, the Fiend Medicine Hall still has the confidence in acquiring it within a short time! As for the Hundred Knows Hall that side, their door isn''t easy to enter. How about this, you take my Blood Yama Token and go. Those guys won''t cause problems for Master!"

 1491 Grudge Is Sowed Big Time

    The types of spirit medicines for the Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill were seldom-seen, but the Fiend Medicine Hall''s strength was really not for show.


    Meng Qi told Ye Yuan that within half a month, he would help him gather all of the spirit medicines.


    Meng Qi''s thoughts, Ye Yuan naturally took it into his sights. He also promised Meng Qi that half a month later, he would come again and preach the Dao to them.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan went out of the door alone.


    Although Li Ji was reluctant to stay behind, she was helpless to do anything too.


    Ye Yuan going to the Hundred Knows Hall to inquire about information, she had nowhere to go and could only stay in the Fiend Medicine Hall.


    Li Ji was no longer a little girl in Meng Qi''s eyes now.


    What did she say? That Source Night was her man?


    This relationship, how could he not make good use of it?


    What was the most powerful?


    Not a man''s fist, but a woman''s pillow talk!


    As for the matter of that batch of medicinal pills, it was even more of a cinch.


    Meng Qi made the decision and directly half-sold half-gifted them to the Fan Family, absolutely being a friendship price.


    Happiness came too suddenly, Fan Yu was somewhat at a loss on what to do.


    The Fiend Medicine Hall''s medicinal pills were in very short supply. Even the City Lord Manor had to pay a huge price to get it too.


    Another batch of medicinal pills to a family''s strength was rather significant.


    To Ye Yuan, Fan Yu was grateful from the bottom of his heart. He wished to send Li Ji onto Ye Yuan''s bed right away.


    Coming out of the Fiend Medicine Hall, Ye Yuan''s alarm bells went off!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ��


    The sounds of tearing through the air came over. Several streaks of cold light flew over towards Ye Yuan at a terrifying speed.


    It was concealed weapons!


    "Explode for me!"


    Huo En formed a seal. Those flying knives directly exploded in the air, turning into countless fragments, virtually sealing off all of Ye Yuan''s escape routes!


    Being struck by these shards, Ye Yuan''s body would probably turn into a sieve!


    A hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of Huo En''s mouth. He knew that this mission was already completed.


    His half-step Fiend Commander strength, scheming against the unwary, Ye Yuan absolutely could not possibly escape this assassination!


    All of this was just something that happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint.


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, it was also not possible to react.


    Huo En did not go and look at Ye Yuan. He was already ready to get up and leave.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan''s body suddenly disappeared from where he was!


    "Phantom Kill!"


    Huo En''s expression changed drastically. A sense of danger instantly welled up in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s figure actually turned into a blurry shadow and rushed over towards him!


    Too fast!


    With his strength, he could only barely manage to capture Ye Yuan''s traces too.


    "Bloodfeather Sword Art!"


    Huo En shouted fiercely, his sword art stabbing over towards that vague shadow like lightning.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    In an instant, the two people exchanged blows no idea how many times.


    The powerful undulations shocked the surroundings into a pile of ruins.


    After several breaths, Ye Yuan appeared a thousand feet away, his complexion pale and breathing unstable. Clearly, it was a sign of overly exhausting his divine essence.


    However, Huo End was not much better either. He gasped heavily for air. That bout of exchange just now rapidly consumed his fiend essence in an instant.


    From when he took action to sneak attack Ye Yuan until now, only around ten breaths of time had passed.


    Everything happened too quickly!


    Huo En did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually powerful to such a degree.


    If not for him being an assassin, his reactions extremely quick, Ye Yuan''s sneak attack earlier would have been able to counter-kill him!


    This kid was too dangerous!


    At this moment, Huo En finally knew how scalding these 30 million low-grade fiend essence stones were.


    Take his life while he was ill!


    Huo En was a competent assassin. He already perceived that that move just now was extremely taxing on Ye Yuan. Now, he already did not have much strength to retaliate.


    Ye Yuan''s speed was fast, Huo En''s speed was likewise not slow.


    As an assassin, speed was a mandatory requirement.


    "Bloodfeather Sword Art!"


    Blood-light suffused all over Huo En''s body, his figure rushing towards Ye Yuan once more like lightning.


    However, he already had no more chances.


    "Stop!"


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Five figures made a move at the same time, blocking Huo En''s path.


    This place was right outside the Fiend Medicine Hall''s front door. Such a large commotion, how could it not startle them?


    Huo En''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "I''m a member of the Assassination Hall, somebody offered a reward for this kid''s life!"


    Although the five elders were Fiend Apothecaries, their combat strengths were similarly not weak.


    Fighting five-versus-one, they naturally would not fall into a disadvantage.


    The reason why Huo En dared to take action here was that this place was their own territory.


    Even if he killed people, nobody dared to say anything either.


    Although the Blood Yama Hall''s various branch halls were under different commands, they were one family after all.


    Huo En never expected that it was precisely his own people who blocked his fatal blow.


    He had kept guard outside the whole time and completely did not know the events that happened inside the Fiend Medicine Hall. He even thought that by reporting his background, the five elders would make way.


    Meng Qi snorted coldly and said, "This old man hasn''t reached the point where my eyes can''t see clearly! How can I not know that you''re a member of the Assassination Hall? Humph! You actually dared to make a move against our Fiend Medicine Hall''s esteemed guest, this score, we''ll find the Assassination Hall to settle it later!"


    Huo En was stunned, doubting whether he heard wrongly or not.


    Why did the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders help an outsider?


    For the sake of a boy who had nothing to do with them, they were actually going to go to war with the Assassination Hall?


    Esteemed guest?


    A kid whose hair was not fully grown, how did he become the Fiend Medicine Hall''s esteemed guest?


    "Meng Qi, what''s the meaning of this? For the sake of an outsider, you''re actually going to make things difficult for my Assassination Hall?" Huo En said in a solemn voice.


    Meng Qi was greatly enraged as he said, "Master Source Night is our Fiend Medicine Hall''s most noble guest! I''m warning you, if you dare to touch a hair of his, we aren''t finished!"


    Seeing Meng Qi fly off the handle like so, Huo En finally realized that he was not joking.


    Master Source Night?


    This kid, could it be that he was even an alchemy expert?


    You have got to be kidding!


    Meng Qi was, at any rate, a leading authority-class figure among Two-star fiend apothecaries too, to actually call a kid who was still wet behind his ears master?


    Huo En felt that maybe the five elders have gone crazy?


    He gave a cold snort and said, "Humph! Meng Qi, don''t you forget, you''re not the Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master! This matter, somebody will naturally come and find you!"


    Meng Qi was hot-tempered too and immediately said furiously, "Heh heh, good! Very good! Your Assassination Hall is very tough now huh? Today''s word, this old man has remembered it! Get lost!"


    Huo En gave a cold snort, and then his figure moved swiftly, vanishing from everyone''s line of sight.


    Meng Qi turned to Ye Yuan, cupped his fists, and said with an apologetic look, "The Assassination Hall''s people are becoming more and more insolent! Meng Qi failed in his hospitality and let Master Source Night fall into a dangerous situation. Meng g Qi''s truly ashamed."


    At this time, Meng Qi was actually incredibly shocked in his heart.


    One had to know, that assassin was half-step Fiend Commander realm. Ye Yuan, a middle-level Fiend General, could actually retreat unscathed, it was truly surprising.


    At this moment, he was incomparably certain, there was definitely a powerful existence behind Ye Yuan.


    This young man was not simple! He must not be offended!


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing to do with you guys. Somebody else wants my life. Heh, with this, the grudge is sowed big time!"


    Use one''s butt to think and one would also know, this incident was definitely Ka Xin causing trouble behind the scenes.


    Failing to kill him at the gathering, this time, he actually hired an assassin to deal with him.


    Did he really think that Ye Yuan was easy to knead?

 1492 Blood Essence Contrac

    In order to prevent accidents, Meng Qi personally brought Ye Yuan to the Hundred Knows Hall.


    With him coming forward, everything was naturally a cinch.


    Under a manager of the Hundred Knows Hall''s lead, Ye Yuan went straight up to the third level. This was the place to receive VIPs.


    "Sir wait for a moment here, someone will come and receive you right away," said the manager and then left.


    This was a very elegant room. A delicate fragrance hit one''s nostrils, giving people a feeling of intoxication.


    The tea was already brewed. Ye Yuan gently took a sip and praised, "Good tea! The morning dew of purple Qi coming from the East, tea shoots irrigated with spirit rain. Hard to come by, hard to come by! What''s even harder to come by is the pair of skillful hands of the person who brewed the tea."


    Space distorted. A beautiful figure slowly walked out of the void.


    This woman''s clothing was half-revealed, her skin fairer than snow, arch eyebrows and cherry lips; not at all inferior compared to Li Ji.


    But compared to Li Ji''s reservedness, this girl was zealous like fire, as if going to burn someone. Every twinkle and smile seemed to carry a flirtatious intention.


    "Sir Source Night is indeed extraordinary, to actually see through the profundities in this room with a glance."


    The woman slowly sat down not far away from Ye Yuan''s side and said with all smiles, "Sir Source Night''s erroneous praise, Yi Han isn''t worthy of it."


    The charming arts of this woman called Yi Han already reached the acme of perfection. Every careless action could give men immense temptation.


    With Ye Yuan''s concentration, he actually had a momentary lapse in mind too.


    Clearly just drank a mouthful of tea, he actually felt parched.


    However, it was also just that instant.


    The firmness of Ye Yuan''s Dao heart was rare in the world.


    Wanting to use bewitching arts to confuse him was virtually without any possibility.


    "Source Night came here to inquire about information and not play with girls. Miss Yi Han, please call the main person out," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When Yi Han saw that Ye Yuan''s focus was so great, she could not help being secretly startled inwardly.


    This Capone Capital City, the men able to withstand her bewitching arts were rare!


    Yi Han covered her mouth and smiled as she said, "Sir Source Night is so oblivious to other people''s feelings. Could it be that in sir''s eyes, Yi Han can''t compare to Li Ji?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold and he said, "Keep pestering unreasonably and don''t blame me for not being courteous!"


    But Yi Han said without a care, "Okay, this lowly one wants to see how Sir becomes impolite?"


    As she said, Yi Han''s pair of clever hands actually groped toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, fingers tapping over towards Yi Han''s shoulder like lightning.


    Who knew that this Yi Han''s shoulder actually slipped away bizarrely, narrowly avoiding this tap.


    Ye Yuan''s heart sank and realized right away that this Yi Han concealed her strength.


    His move failing, Ye Yuan hurriedly retreated, pulling apart a distance from Yi Han, maintaining vigilance.


    "Goodness, Sir Source Night doesn''t know how to be tender toward girls at all! Attacking so strongly, is this wanting to take this lowly one''s life?" Yi Han giggled and said.


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, "Who the hell are you? Why are you teasing me?"


    Yi Han smiled and said, "How did this lowly one tease Sir? It was clearly Sir who wanted to ruthlessly crush a flower. However, Yi Han is very curious just who Sir is? Putting aside your strength far surpassing those in the same-rank, your alchemy skills are even so powerful, the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill at your fingertips with ease. Even the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders had to show you a pupil''s manners. With my Blood Yama Hall''s eyes and hands, we actually completely could not investigate Sir''s background."


    Ye Yuan''s heart sank, secretly thinking that this Hundred Knows Hall had such access to information.


    It seemed like what he had done in Capone Capital City was already completely known by the Hundred Knows Hall.


    At this time, Ye Yuan naturally would not treat Yi Han as an ordinary girl anymore. Her strength was likely far above his.


    Even Dustless could not fathom Yi Han''s depths either.


    Although Dustless''s strength did not recover to its peak state, under Divine Lord Realm, most could not escape his divine sense investigation.


    But this Yi Han was clearly an exception.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "This young master had lived with my master in a remote land since young. It''s also normal for you to not have heard before. So what''s strange about that?"


    Ye Yuan naturally would not make this kind of low-level mistake. He had long fabricated his origins.


    Yi Han smiled and said, "So that''s how it is. Sir doesn''t need to panic. Let''s sit down and talk?"


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and got seated again, and he said coolly, "If you want to ask about my master, you can save your breath."


    A hint of surprise flashed across Yi Han''s eyes, thinking to himself that this chap was so formidable.


    She was just about to open her mouth and ask, and he already used words to block her.


    If Ye Yuan''s master was really a reclusive expert, then he was definitely unwilling to reveal his name.


    This point was naturally justifiable.


    Yi Han smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then Sir Source Night came to Capone Capital City just for the sake of investigation?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Precisely so! Miss Yi Han, wonder if Source Night can ask questions now?"


    Yi Han said, "Does Sir know our Hundred Knows Hall''s rules?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and shook his head as he said, "Don''t know."


    Yi Han giggled and said, "Sir is really interesting, to dare come and inquire about information without even knowing the Hundred Knows Hall''s rules."


    Ye Yuan had long heard that the Hundred Knows Hall''s information was not easy to inquire, but he did not know the specifics.


    Looking at it now, seemed like he thought too simply about it.


    "Pray tell!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yi Han said, "Our Hundred Knows Hall''s intel is divided into first-grade to ninth-grade. The first three grades'' intel, as long as one pays sufficient fiend essence stones, they can obtain it. But fourth-grade to ninth-grade intel, apart from having to pay exorbitant fiend essence stones, one even has to agree to do some things for the Hundred Knows Hall for free."


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "That means, I owe you all a favor?"


    Yi Han said, "It''s pretty much this meaning."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "If I don''t do it?"


    Yi Han smiled and said, "You need to leave behind a blood essence contract before we''ll give you the information. If you renege and not do the favor, we can make you wish that you were dead through the blood essence contract."


    Ye Yuan''s heart turned cold. This Blood Yama Hall was very mysterious. It seemed like their background was huge.


    Ye Yuan said, "If you all make me go and die, could it be that I have to act in accordance too?"


    Yi Han smiled and said, "Our Blood Yama Hall has always been equally honest with the elderly and the young. It''s just that some things, it''s not convenient for us to act in our own capacity, so we need a promise. Some people, we never went to find him even till death. On the blood essence contract, there are naturally also some taboo rules stated one by one; for example, we won''t make you go and die. Of course, if you die in the process of carrying out the contract, it''s not within the scope. Once the contract activates, if you didn''t complete it, you''ll naturally suffer the contract''s backlash."


    Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked in his heart. This was equivalent to saying that as long as someone inquired about fourth-grade and above information, they would all owe the Blood Yama Hall a favor.


    With the accumulation year after year, the Blood Yama Hall''s favors outside would be very terrifying.


    Among these people, it was hard to guarantee that some powerful existences would not appear.


    As long as the Blood Yama Hall continued on retaining this blood essence contract, it was equivalent to this contract continuously appreciating in value!


    No wonder even the City Lord Manor did not dare to provoke the Blood Yama Hall too. Just this blood essence contract, how could the average person afford to offend?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright, but I have to take a look at the contract''s contents first."

 1493 Special-Grade Retainer

    After the contract entered his hands, a powerful law undulation came from it, making Ye Yuan secretly alarmed.


    No idea whose hands this contract originated from, but that person''s strength was definitely very powerful.


    Ye Yuan''s divine sense entered inside. The contents of the contract revealed itself.


    He carefully analyzed the contents of the contract. After verifying that there was no problem, only then did he slowly say, "No problem. Now, can I ask for the information that I want to know?"


    Yi Han smiled and said, "Of course you can! You can just directly ask the contract, the contract will automatically determine the grade of your question. Drip your blood essence on the contract and the information that you want to know will appear on it."


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and asked the contract, "A million years ago, Capone Capital City had a fiend commander called Kanuo. I want to know who sent him to carry out the last mission, as well as all of the information for that person!"


    After asking this, the contract had a reaction very quickly. A large word gradually appeared on it: Eight.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Yuan''s face. He did not expect that this information''s grade was actually so high!


    But seeing that ''eight'' word on the contract, Yi Han was all smiles and said, "Hehe, didn''t expect that Sir Source Night''s information is actually so valuable. Looks like �� this favor isn''t small."


    From fourth-grade to ninth-grade, the contents of the contract were naturally different.


    Fourth-grade was still relatively easy to return. Ninth-grade �� it would probably be a favor to drive one to their death.


    If someone checked for information not matching their own strength, that price might be death.


    Yi Han looked at Ye Yuan rather interestedly, wanting to see how he choose.


    However, she was a little disappointed.


    She completely could not see through Ye Yuan''s inner-heart activity, as if what Ye Yuan held in his hand was a piece of blank paper.


    Suddenly, a cold light flashed. The tip of Ye Yuan''s finger had a gash cut open. A drop of golden blood slowly fell, dripping onto the contract.


    The golden blood instantly disappeared. Very soon, densely packed words appeared on the contract.


    Ye Yuan rapidly browsed it over, but the expression on his face became ugly.


    Sure enough, the one who sent Kanuo to the Immortal Grove World was precisely that generation''s city lord, called Ka Suo.


    It was just that not only did this Ka Suo not die, he already broke through from the second-layered heaven Fiend Lord back then to the current Fiend King first-layered heaven, which was also the human race''s Celestial Deity first-layered heaven!


    After one''s Martial Dao broke through to Divine Lord Realm, it was entering a whole new realm. Each step would become even more difficult.


    Each major realm was divided into nine heavens.


    Each breakthrough of a minor realm was exceedingly difficult, easily starting with 100 thousand years.


    Presently, a million years had passed. That Ka Suo''s strength steadily increased and actually already reached the Fiend King Realm!


    Looks like wanting to find this Ka Suo to settle scores, I have to give the matter further thought and consideration. Ye Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.


    This Ka Sou had already left Capone Capital City long ago. Right now, he was at Eminent Orchid Imperial City, wielding immense authority.


    Apart from these, there were still many intel related to Ka Suo. This information was indeed very valuable, worthy of being an eighth-grade contract.


    However, Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked and had an even clearer understanding of this Blood Yama Hall''s strength.


    Even a Fiend King powerhouse''s information could be recorded so comprehensively, this was clearly not what an ordinary power could do.


    After Ye Yuan silently noted down Ka Suo''s information, the words on the contract gradually disappeared.


    And Ye Yuan distinctly sensed that there was a kind of mysterious connection established between him and the contract.


    "Looks like Sir Source Night is very disappointed!" Yi Han said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan returned the contract to Yi Han and said indifferently, "Indeed a little disappointed. But, it''s nothing as well."


    He indeed did not care. There would come a day where he would step into Celestial Deity Realm and seek justice for the Immortal Grove World.


    "Huhu, Sir Source Night doesn''t care, but Yi Han cares a lot! I have a feeling that Sir Source Night''s favor is much more valuable than this information! As for fiend essence stones, just take it as Yi Han becoming friends with Sir, forget about it," Yi Han said with a broad smile.


    Ye Yuan glanced at her and said coolly, "Becoming friends with Miss Yi Han, one has to become more vigilant."


    Yi Han giggled and said, "Is Sir praising Yi Han here?"


    Ye Yuan said, "You can understand it like that."


    Yi Han''s strength was unfathomable. This Blood Yama Hall was even more mysterious and hard to fathom. Becoming friends with them, one would probably not even know when they were sold.


    ...


    Returning to the Fan Family, Fan Yu was naturally inexplicably grateful toward Ye Yuan.


    The Fan Family heard that a very powerful Fiend Apothecary appeared in the family and burst into an uproar all at once.


    The Fan Family immediately convened an elders meeting and raised Ye Yuan to a special-grade retainer.


    The treatment that Ye Yuan enjoyed in the Fan Family could virtually rival Fiend Commander Realm elders already.


    Those people who said that Ye Yuan relied on a woman to get his position immediately shut up, all extremely flustered.


    Offending a Fiend Apothecary retainer was not some wise thing.


    Medicinal pills, who did not need it?


    The Fan Family could not be blamed for going through so much trouble. It was true that fiend apothecaries were too in demand in the fiend race.


    With the status of Fiend Apothecaries, they did not stoop to go to some large family to be retainers at all.


    Otherwise, the Fan Family also would not be so cautious because of a batch of medicinal pills.


    The news of a Fiend Apothecary emerging in the Fan Family immediately spread throughout the entire capital city like the wind.


    The other three families, including the City Lord Manor, were all envious about this to the extreme.


    Of course, if there were people envious, there were people unhappy.


    When Ka Xin heard this news, his entire person went blank.


    "Damn it! How can that brat possibly be a Two-star Fiend Apothecary? The important person that Meng Qi saw that day was actually him! This �� How is this possible?"


    Ka Xin was full of indignation and puzzlement. He seriously could not figure out how a young man with such powerful martial arts strength could possibly become a Fiend Apothecary that even Meng Qi bowed his head in submission to!


    Lian Hua''s face was also full of shock. She did not expect that Ye Yuan was a Fiend Apothecary. Furthermore, even the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders were actually docile and obedient towards him to this extent.


    Originally, she was just harboring the thought of teasing a little, that was why she would be like that toward Ye Yuan.


    Now, she was really envious of Li Ji to death.


    If she had long known it was like this, she should have thought of everything possible to snatch Source Night!


    But now, it was too late to say anything. Source Night and Ka Xin were already like fire and water. It was completely impossible to bury the hatchet anymore.


    She let out a sigh and said, "This matter is already beyond all doubt! The Assassination Hall took our bounty to assassinate Source Night, but it was stopped by the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders. It was said that for this, the Fiend Medicine Hall already went to war with the Assassination Hall, cutting off all of their medicinal pills supply. I reckon that within a few days, the Assassination Hall will have to yield. Meng Qi clearly doesn''t have this authority. For the Fiend Medicine Hall to do so, they definitely obtained the hall master''s approval! Waging war with their own family for an outsider, this matter of thing, even thinking about it feels inconceivable."


    Ka Xin''s expression was green and already did not know what he should say.


    He discovered to his dismay that he seemed to have really kicked a metal plate this time!


    Lian Hua paused for a bit and continued, "To be able to make the Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master do this, that Source Night''s alchemy skills must be extremely remarkable! The Fan Family picked up a treasure this time!"

 1494 Giving In

    Inside a hidden private estate in the capital city, Huo En was currently kneeling in front of a man in black, fearful and in awe.


    "Huo En, do you know your mistake?" The man in black said coolly.


    "Your Excellency, I �� know my mistake!" Huo En hesitated for a bit, but finally still admitted his fault.


    The man in black slowly turned around and said coldly, "In the Assassination Hall, you aren''t wrong. But in the entire Blood Yama Hall, you''ve made a grave error. Now, the Fiend Medicine Hall and Hundred Knows Hall are applying pressure on me at the same time. The pressure on me, this hall master, is also huge!"


    Huo En was a capable general under his command. When the Fiend Medicine Hall came over, he still supported Huo En a bit.


    But, he never thought that later on, the Hundred Knows Hall actually came over to put pressure too. This doubled the pressure on him, a hall master.


    The Assassination Hall primarily did some things that could not see the light and could not appear on the stage.


    The prestige of the Blood Yama Hall was mainly established by the Fiend Medicine Hall and Hundred Knows Hall, these two halls.


    The function of the Assassination Hall was to kill.


    Huo En was depressed in his heart!


    His position in the Assassination Hall was around the same as Meng Qi''s in the Fiend Medicine Hall. Hence, he did not take Meng Qi''s warning to heart as well. He even left a few harsh words.


    He did not expect that now, his face was slapped resoundingly.


    Huo En was flustered inwardly and said, "Your Excellency, what �� what should this subordinate do?"


    The man in black swept a glance over him indifferently and said, "An assassin failing an assassination, the outcome �� you know it."


    Huo En''s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing a look of despair.


    He originally thought that it was a big business for him. He did not expect that his life actually had to be capitulated on this mission!


    "Do it yourself then!" The words of the man in black carried some melancholy.


    Honestly speaking, he did not think that Huo En did anything wrong. What was wrong was that this was a world where the strong prey on the weak!


    For that young man called Source Night to be able to make two great halls value so highly, it indicated that he was a figure who carried a lot of weight.


    Then one could only say that Huo En was unlucky.


    Who asked him to provoke someone he should not provoke?


    "ARGHHH �� !"


    Huo En''s gaze revealed a fierce look, his body suddenly burst apart.


    Clank!


    A black token dropped onto the ground.


    The man in black extended a hand and beckoned. The token landed in his hand.


    ...


    After Ye Yuan returned from the Hundred Knows Hall, he went to the Fiend Medicine Hall again to give Meng Qi they all a lesson.


    Meng Qi and the rest naturally benefited greatly.


    But this time, there was an additional person listening to him preach Dao, the Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master!


    He was a Three-star Fiend Apothecary, his status in Capone Capital City extremely revered.


    Even ordinary Fiend Commander powerhouses found it hard to meet him.


    A single one of the medicinal pills that he refined was hard to seek after.


    But this time, he was like a student, sitting together with Meng Qi and the rest respectfully, listening to Ye Yuan preach on Dao.


    On the first day, he relied on his status and hid next door to listen.


    But on the second day, he sat together with Meng Qi and the rest very conscientiously.


    The contents that Ye Yuan preached on were not some profound maxim of Great Dao. It was just some alchemy basic skills.


    But to them, it was akin to obtaining a priceless treasure.


    Ye Yuan discovered that their cultivation system was too messy. These Fiend Apothecaries'' basic skills were too poor, resulting in affecting the pill refinement''s result in the end.


    As the saying went: details determined success or failure, and alchemy skill was an extremely meticulous art in the first place and did not tolerate any sloppiness.


    Ye Yuan targeted the Fiend Apothecaries'' characteristics and summarized some cultivation methods, imparting it to them.


    One should not look down on these simple basic skills. Actually, Meng Qi their standards were not lousy. They just had to practice some basic stuff properly and the effects would be immediate.


    Compared to elucidating on some profound things, these little tips were more effective instead.


    After the last sermon, the five elders including the hall master cultivated the spirit calming and mind focusing spells that Ye Yuan imparted, and they discovered that the medicinal pills'' quality improved significantly all of a sudden.


    This result made them wildly ecstatic.


    Therefore, each and every one of them revered Ye Yuan akin to a god.


    This time, Ye Yuan talked for five days and five nights in a row, making everyone wholly enraptured.


    Following that, the spirit medicines that Ye Yuan wanted also arrived, and he returned straight to the Fan Family, planning on going into a retreat.


    The closed-seclusion this time, apart from refining the Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill, he even purchased a large batch of spirit medicines from the Fiend Medicine Hall.


    He wanted to refine a batch of divine essence advancing medicinal pills and assault late-stage Heaven Glimpse!


    Ye Yuan killed Xiu Lie before entering the fiend race and obtained all of the wealth on his body.


    A half-step Fiend Lord powerhouse''s wealth, that was rather terrifying.


    Ye Yuan using it to purchase spirit medicines, cultivating to the Origin Deity Realm was also plenty to spare.


    As long as there were sufficient medicinal pills supporting him, Ye Yuan''s cultivation would be very fast.


    But before closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan welcomed a guest, the Assassination Hall''s hall master, You Ming[1]!


    Even the Fan Family''s family head did not recognize You Ming.


    It was You Ming himself making his identity known before the Fan Family''s family head knew who he was.


    His arrival made the Fan Family''s family head panic.


    For so many years, the Assassination Hall''s hall master was an existence who daunted people.


    Even if they were the four great families'' family heads, they were also extremely afraid of him.


    Even though their realm was more or less the same, You Ming this person had always been hidden in the night, no idea when he would reap people''s lives.


    In history, the Assassination Hall had once destroyed a major family. And that major family''s strength was not weaker than the Fan Family.


    The Assassination Hall''s strength was too terrifying!


    If say that the major families were in awe of the City Lord, then toward the Assassination Hall, it was fear.


    Because your life would be gone without knowing when.


    But when Ye Yuan saw You Ming, he did not have much of a feeling.


    People all had weaknesses, and You Ming''s weakness was clearly being grasped by the Fiend Medicine Hall.


    Him coming to find him openly indicated that the Assassination Hall gave in.


    "This is Huo En''s Blood Yama Token. He has already committed suicide to offer an apology. There''s his divine soul imprint on it. You can check it," You Ming threw over the black token and directly said this.


    Ye Yuan received the Blood Yama Token but did not check. He just casually threw it to one side and said coolly, "This is your affair, nothing to do with me."


    You Ming could not help suffocating when he saw the situation, immediately discovering that Ye Yuan was not easy to deal with.


    Before coming to meet Ye Yuan, he had already seen the Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master.


    But the two people''s behavior was very different.


    He felt that this young man in front of him was even harder to deal with that the wild old fox Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master,


    You Ming sucked in a deep breath and said, "This matter was my Assassination Hall''s fault, I apologize to you on behalf of the Assassination Hall. Sir Source Night, please raise your hand high in mercy."


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "I said, this is your affair, nothing to do with me! The Assassination Hall accepting a bounty and killing people, this is something perfectly justified."


    You Ming nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. This punk was too cunning.


    These words were said until he did not have any room to refute at all.


    Yeah, the Assassination Hall was not wrong. What was wrong was that they provoked someone that should not have provoked!


    But, with Ye Yuan not relenting, the Fiend Medicine Hall and Hundred Knows Hall both would not drop the matter.


    What can I do?


    I''m very powerless too!


    You Ming wished to dig Huo En out from underground right now and kill him again.


    [1] You Ming = Nether from Netherworld.

 1495 Issuing Letter of Challenge

    You Ming looked at Ye Yuan helplessly and was really at a loss whether to cry or laugh.


    In Capone Capital City, who did not wet their pants when they saw him?


    Yet, today, he was cornered tightly by a brat still wet behind his ears. He did not even have the qualifications to lose his temper.


    If it were other people, he would use powerful strength to oppress his opponent and could use various means to go and threaten his opponent.


    But against Ye Yuan, these were all useless!


    Threaten?


    It would only make matters develop in an even worse direction!


    You Ming let out a sigh and said, "Whatever conditions, Sir Source Night feel free to state them. As long as my Assassination Hall can do it, we definitely won''t refuse."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked at You Ming sharply and said, "Really?"


    You Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have a choice?"


    Ye Yuan smiled too. Talking with wise people was effortless.


    "I want you to help me issue a letter of challenge!" Ye Yuan said.


    You Ming''s brows furrowed and he said, "You want to have a battle with Ka Xin? You''re not his match!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Not his match or not, that''s my business. You just have to help me do two things. and that will do."


    You Ming''s expression became intent and he said, "What two things?"


    You Ming discovered that Ye Yuan did not have his blood rushing up to his head at all. He was not mindlessly trying to find Ka Xin and take revenge without any plan.


    That indifferent expression of Ye Yuan was clearly him having a well-thought-out plan.


    In fact, even You Ming coming to apologize had also been calculated.


    Ye Yuan had long already thought of everything and was just waiting for him to pay a visit.


    This young man was truly too frightening!


    This move of borrowing power to strike another person actually toyed with the Blood Yama Hall''s several major halls in the palm of his hands. It was simply inconceivable.


    Of course, all of this was in view of Ye Yuan''s own powerful strength and potential. Otherwise, those two great hall masters were not fools either. How could they possibly be manipulated by Ye Yuan?


    He finally somewhat understood why those two great halls would view this young man in a different light and even wanted to defend this young man without balking at falling out with him.


    Ye Yuan took out a small bag of medicinal powder and said, "This packet, let Ka Xin eat it unknowingly. This shouldn''t be a difficult thing for your Assassination Hall, right?"


    You Ming''s expression changed and he immediately said, "No way! Although the Blood Yama Hall doesn''t fear the City Lord Manor, poisoning the City Lord Manor''s prince to death is a serious matter. I can''t promise you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Hall Master, you don''t need to be so agitated. This packet of powder won''t take his life and it doesn''t affect his strength in the slightest too. He won''t discover that he''s poisoned. I''m just leaving myself a way out."


    You Ming''s brows furrowed and he said, "How do I believe you? What if you borrow a knife to kill someone?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I still have another packet here. If you don''t believe me, you can try it. But you have to be mentally prepared, this thing is effective toward you too."


    You Ming was startled inwardly, a hint of dread flashing across his eyes.


    Something that a Two-star Fiend Apothecary refined was actually effective on him too?


    This tiny packet of powder actually was such a great threat!


    One had to know, the medicinal pills that Two-star Fiend Apothecaries refined, the effect on Fiend Commanders were negligible, let alone say You Ming, this kind of grand completion realm Fiend Commander.


    You Ming knew that Ye Yuan was a very formidable Fiend Apothecary. Saying this was absolutely not in order to scare him.


    Only if he went soft in the head would he go and try this thing.


    Although he did not know what effect this thing had, to Ka Xin, it was definitely a fatal thing!


    Seeing You Ming''s expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This packet is just in order to ensure that he and I battle under a fair condition. As long as he eats it, absolutely no one will know that it was done by you guys."


    You Ming''s brows knitted tightly. He was silent for quite a while. Suddenly, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you! I believe that you won''t do something like digging your own grave! What about the second?"


    You Ming thought about it for a little. Ye Yuan borrowing a knife to kill, causing two major forces to confront each other, this did not have any benefits. It would put him in a dangerous situation instead.


    Ye Yuan was clearly a very smart person and would not do this kind of stupid thing.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The second thing, ten months later, you personally help me go and issue a challenge letter! After a year, I want to fight with Ka Xin to the death!"


    You Ming said, "You''re underestimating Ka Xin too much! His strength is close to invincible in the Fiend General Realm! For him to be able to stand out among so many of the Ka Family''s juniors, it isn''t an undeserved reputation! You aren''t even Huo En''s match. Could it be that you have the assurance to beat Ka Xin within a year?"


    Just now, Ye Yuan himself also said it, this packet of medicinal powder would not affect Ka Xin''s strength.


    Then, on what basis would he win against Ka Xin?


    Even though Huo En was a capable subordinate under You Ming and his strength was extraordinary, when facing Ka Xin head-on, there was no chance of victory at all.


    Ka Xin''s strength was the number one person in Capone Capital City''s Fiend General Realm!


    This point, no one had any objections.


    Ye Yuan smiled, but he did not speak and did not answer to You Ming''s words.


    You Ming''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Okay, these two conditions, I promise it! But, if the fire burns onto the Blood Yama Hall in the end, you know the consequences!"


    Finished talking, You Ming took that packet of powder and left straight away.


    After You Ming left, Ye Yuan went straight into closed-seclusion.


    A year''s time was ten years to Ye Yuan!


    If it were others, ten years would not change too much either. But Ye Yuan could.


    After consuming the Second Transformation Profound Gold Pill, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body directly broke through to themiddle-stage second transformation.


    Then, Ye Yuan started refining medicinal pills frenziedly.


    Ten months later in the outside world, Ye Yuan''s divine sea trembled, finally breaking through to the late-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm!


    "Uh �� there''s still one year plus, after I consolidate my realm a bit, I should enter the Death Cultivation Space to train for a bit," Ye Yuan murmured.


    ...


    You Ming''s arrival caught Ka Xin by great surprise.


    "You''re representing Source Night to issue a challenge letter to me?" A hint of a disdainful smile flashed across Ka Xin''s mouth.


    You Ming said coolly, "Yes. He''s afraid that you''ll refuse his challenge, so he requested me to come."


    Regarding Ka Xin, You Ming did not have any favorable impression too.


    This matter originally had nothing to do with the Assassination Hall. Because of Ka Xin posting a reward, it dragged the Assassination Hall right into the water, making him lose a general.


    This result made You Ming very annoyed.


    Therefore, he was actually very unhappy with both Ye Yuan and Ka Xin. If any of them died, his mood would be much better.


    This battle was undoubtedly a channel to vent to him.


    Ka Xin laughed loudly and said, "Refuse? Why would I refuse? Hahaha, a fool who overestimates his own strength, delivering himself to the door to seek death. This prince is more than happy. Looks like this ten month''s time, his strength had a breakthrough!"


    Ka Xin was not afraid of challenges. On the contrary, he had already not received a challenge for very long.


    His identity of a prince was not simply inherited but was piled up by countless fresh blood!


    The fiend race did not restrict challenges. The City Lord Manor''s prince was also no exception!


    Wanting to become the City Lord Manor''s prince, one had to accept the challenges from all parties.


    Ka Xin was not a silkpants leading a comfortable life, but a true powerhouse!


    Of course, not anybody could challenge Ka Xin. He had the right to refuse.


    It was precisely because of this that Ye Yuan requested You Ming to step forward to apply pressure.


    Ye Yuan was expressing an attitude: the matter of you hiring people to kill me, I already know. The grudge between us is already irreconcilable and can only be resolved with a fight!


    This was the simplest and most crude way to resolve problems in the fiend race!

 1496 King of Blood Battle

    The Blood Battle Stage was a killing field, just like an underground boxing city.


    The Blood Yama Hall had hauled in no idea how much money by relying on it.


    Every day, hundreds and thousands of life-and-death battles had taken place here.


    The aristocrats gambled here to seek amusement, the boxers earned money here with their lives.


    Of course, there were also quite a few nobles who would personally take the field and fight, to hone themselves.


    Some people died in battle just like that; while others carved out a bloody path.


    Ka Xin was one of them!


    In Capone Capital City''s Blood Battle Stage, Ka Xin was still a legend to this day.


    Back then, when Ka Xin was not a prince yet, his reputation was not illustrious among his many brothers.


    However, he was very ruthless to himself.


    He came to the Blood Battle Stage alone by himself without even bringing along a guard, and he became a blood fighter.


    Blood fighters were existences for people''s enjoyment.


    They engaged in life-and-death struggles on the Blood Battle Stage every day, while the nobles gambled exorbitant amounts on the grandstand.


    Since then, Ka Xin started his path of heaven-defying rise.


    It was also this Blood Battle Stage that excavated his terrifying combat talent.


    At first, Ka Xin''s dozen over battles in a row were all close shaves.


    Each time, he would barely manage to escape with his life from under his opponent''s hands.


    Virtually everyone all thought that he would not live long.


    However, one battle after another, his improvement speed was rapid until it made people despair.


    Ten years later, Ka Xin defeated countless powerhouse adversaries, sweeping across same-rank opponents.


    From the earlier bitter fights to virtually having no opponent capable of lasting one exchange with him!


    Experiencing countless life-and-death battles, Ka Xin''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, daunting until it made his opponents despair.


    However, this was not the end.


    After that, the Ka Xin who was already the Blood Battle Stage''s king started jumping realms to challenge his opponents!


    This crazed action made everyone all think that he was seeking death.


    But he did not die. His name lived for a hundred years on the ring.


    All the way until one day, no one dared to fight him anymore!


    Starting from no idea when, Ka Xin had not lost before.


    Later, the Blood Battle Stage looked over the records before discovering that Ka Xin had already won 800 over matches in a row!


    One had to know that in this place where experts were plentiful as clouds, even winning a hundred matches in a row was an extremely extravagant matter.


    But Ka Xin won 800 over matches in a row!


    Furthermore, his opponents were virtually all powerhouses who were all a minor realm higher than him!


    From then, Ka Xin had a nickname: the King of Blood Battle.


    This was a legend!


    The respect of Fan Yu and the rest toward Ka Xin was not because he was the City Lord Manor''s prince, but because they feared his strength!


    They were very strong too, but they were absolutely not as crazy as Ka Xin.


    The news of the ''King of Blood Battle'' re-emerging immediately ignited the Blood Battle Stage, making everyone seethe.


    ''Source Night'' this name had merely just circulated among the upper echelons of Capone Capital City.


    But ''King of Blood Battle'' this name, virtually no one did not know in Capone Capital City.


    Source Night and Ka Xin would be carrying out a life-and-death battle at the Blood Battle Stage. As soon as this news spread out, the Blood Battle Stage crazily seized 30 billion low-grade fiend essence stones within three days!


    90% of the people all bought the ''King of Blood Battle'', Ka Xin''s victory.


    Even if Ka Xin''s odds were only 1:1.


    Of course, there were also quite a few speculators who wagered on Ye Yuan. His odds were too tempting.


    1:15!


    This was a 15 times profit!


    Once won, then it was a huge profit.


    When the positions just opened, Ye Yuan''s odds were 1:7.


    But in three days, the people who bought Ye Yuan were few and far between. Ye Yuan''s odds also soared along with it, surging to 1:15.


    To the Blood Battle Stage, Ye Yuan was an out-and-out newbie. He was completely without any battle achievements'' support.


    The odds looked scary, but actually, not many people would go and bet on him at all.


    The higher the odds, it indicated the less optimistic the Blood Battle Stage was about him.


    People who bought Ye Yuan''s victory were all harboring the mentality of a trace of a fluke.


    Even if they bought, they would not buy a lot too.


    At this time, inside a room at the Blood Battle Stage, the Blood Battle Stage''s hall master, Bloodeagle, appeared somewhat irritated.


    "You Ming, do you have confidence in this life-and-death battle or not? This position, I was originally not planning on opening it. No idea how upstairs is thinking, to actually insist on opening the positions! Now, it has staked so high. I already find it hard to dismount the tiger''s back! It''s just a few short day''s time and it''s already 30 billion. Most likely, on the closing day, the exposure risk will rise to 100 billion or even more! If that Source Night loses, our Blood Battle Stage''s three years of profits will all sink into the water!" Bloodeagle said in a solemn voice.


    You Ming said coolly, "This kind of life-and-death battle, not reaching the last moment, who''d know who wins or loses?"


    Bloodeagle nearly choked and said, "You Ming, your words are also said too irresponsibly! Ka Xin''s strength, you''re all too clear. It can be said to be invincible among the same-rank! The letter of challenge was issued by you, don''t you know that Source Night''s strength?"


    You Ming gave Bloodeagle and glance and said coolly, "Bloodeagle, don''t be so agitated. I can only tell you that Ye Yuan''s chances of winning are greater than you imagine. As for who wins or loses between the two of them, it''s really very hard to predict."


    From a rational point of view, You Ming really could not see any chance of Ye Yuan winning.


    But, when he recalled that calm expression of Ye Yuan''s, he also felt that Ye Yuan definitely had a plan.


    This kind of contradictory psychology had already lingered in his heart for a year, making him very uncomfortable.


    He believed that the other two guys were definitely the same as him.


    Blood Battle Stage''s Bloodeagle was originally just an outsider. But this time, he was dragged down the water too.


    The moment the positions opened, he had no way to back down anymore.


    You Ming was also very perplexed why upstairs would want to send this order, making them open the positions.


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan''s win-rate was really too small.


    Unless, that packet of powder could greatly diminish Ka Xin''s strength.


    However, Ka Xin had already eaten that packet of powder for several months. Right now, there was no problem at all, he was still brimming with vigor and vitality.


    This showed that Ye Yuan did not bluff him. That powder really would not affect Ka Xin''s strength.


    You Ming''s attitude made Bloodeagle about to stomp his feet. He roared at You Ming, "Win-rate greater than I imagine? You Ming, you''re a dotard, right?! If this Source Night''s realm was more or less the same as Ka Xin''s realm, then forget it. But he''s just a middle-rank Fiend General! Even when Ka Xin himself was at this realm, it''s also impossible to jump realms and defeat himself, right?"


    You Ming rolled his eyes and said coolly, "It also wasn''t me who made you open the positions, what are you yelling at me for?"


    Bloodeagle could not help choking up and immediately shriveled up.


    You Ming gave him a glance and said, "Just three years of profit, it''s also not a big deal. You guys are the most profitable hall, it''s merely a little bit that leaked out at the seams of the pants. I reckon that upstairs is betting too. You think about it. Once Source Night wins, how much money will you all make!"


    Bloodeagle gave a cold snort and said, "Said it lightly! Your halls only know how to burn money, don''t know our pains! I watched Ka Xin grow up with my own eyes. His strength, I''m all too aware. Even if that Source Night is a second Ka Xin, it''s also impossible to win him with his realm! These 100 billion essence stones will most likely sink into the waters this time!"

 1497 Forced Breakthrough?

    On this day, the grandstand of the Blood Battle Stage''s main platform was fully occupied.


    Those martial artists'' faces were all brimming with fanatical expressions. That was worship straight from the bottom of the heart.


    The ''King of Blood Battle'' returning to the Blood Battle Stage, just this one topic was sufficient to drive them crazy.


    People who hung around at the Blood Battle Stage every day were all a bunch of fanatic lunatics.


    The fiend race loved fighting, while they were belligerents among belligerents.


    Therefore, they were filled with endless worship towards the ''King of Blood Battle''.


    Ka Xin was the legend here, the idol that they worshiped the most.


    "Haha, I waited for 200 years. His Highness Ka Xin is finally going to take action once again! This time, it will probably be his swan song! I mustn''t miss it!"


    "How much did you bet on His Highness Ka Xin winning?"


    "Heh, I put down all of my assets! This kind of sure-win transaction, what''s there to hesitate about? What about you?"


    "I wagered 30 fiend essence stones, this is 80% of my assets! Is the Blood Battle Stage stupid this time? This kind of battle, they actually still opened positions!"


    "Who cares! Free money, why not take it!"


    ...


    Everyone on the grandstands was incomparably excited. Not only could they watch the swan song battle of the King of Blood Battle, but they could also earn money. This kind of good thing, they had never encountered it before.


    Regarding Ye Yuan issuing a letter of challenge, this matter, there were naturally people who had doubts.


    But after they heard Ye Yuan''s realm, they no longer had doubts.


    Middle-rank Fiend General challenging the King of Blood Battle?


    What was this if not courting death?!


    The grandstand''s second level''s VIP area was also fully occupied.


    Some small family clans'' big shots could only stand at the back row.


    A little smaller and they could only squeeze with the ordinary people outside.


    The four great families'' family heads were imposingly present.


    Ka Lan was the Ka Family''s present family head, in charge of managing the Ka Family''s affairs.


    Although the Ka Family stayed in the City Lord Manor, they were distinct from the City Lord Manor.


    After Ka Suo, the Ka Family had always been Capone Capital City''s ruler. No one was able to shake this position.


    The Ka Family had a flourishing population with countless descendants. Ka Xin was the pinnacle-most existence among them.


    "Fan Lin, your Fan Family finally managed to pick up a powerful Fiend Apothecary, but is a complete and utter fool! Did your Fan Family bring so many people come to collect his corpse on his behalf?" Ka Lan mocked.


    Fan Lin was the Fan Family''s family head. Hearing that, he immediately retorted sarcastically: "Humph! The battle hasn''t started yet, who wins or loses is still not known!"


    Ka Lan laughed loudly and said, "I know that this kid''s strength is pretty good, killing Starshine the three of them by himself. But Ka Xin''s strength, you all are well aware. No matter how impressive this kid is, he can''t flip the heavens too!"


    Fan Lin defended himself with sophistry, "It''s not too late for you to come and brag after Ka Xin wins!"


    Ka Lan laughed loudly and said, "Very well, very well, when Ka Xin pummels that brat into minced meat, I''ll come and brag again! Hahaha ��"


    Fan Lin had a livid look, gave a cold snort, and did not talk anymore.


    He really could not find a reason to believe that Ye Yuan could win this fight.


    Originally found an extremely powerful Two-star fiend apothecary, Fan Lin was excited until he could not sleep for quite a few days.


    But he had yet to enjoy a few days of bliss and it was going to be over.


    "Li Ji, your relationship with Source Night is the best. You say, does he have hopes of winning or not?" Fan Lin asked Li Ji softly.


    Li Ji''s expression was very ugly. She shook her head, but she did not know what she should say.


    When Ye Yuan issued the letter of challenge, he definitely did not know how terrifying Ka Xin was.


    The title of ''King of Blood Battle'', that was slaughtered out by him match after match!


    She completely did not think that Ye Yuan would go and issue a letter of challenge to Ka Xin. If she knew, she definitely would not have allowed this thing to happen.


    Now, a shot arrow could not be recalled already.


    At this time, the Blood Battle Stage''s referee walked to the center of the ring and said in a clear voice, "Today this battle, the two parties involved, one party is known as the ''King of Blood Battle'', His Highness Ka Xin. While the other party is the Fan Family''s special-grade retainer, Source Night! Two months ago, Source Night issued a letter of challenge to His Highness Ka Xin. This battle will continue until life and death are determined!"


    The moment the referee''s voice faded, momentous and tidal-like roars sounded out on the grandstands.


    "Long live His Highness Ka Xin! Kill that fool who overestimates his own ability!"


    "The Kind of Blood Battle is mighty! The Kind of Blood Battle is mighty!"


    "Your Highness Ka Xin, I love you!"


    ...


    Although Ka Xin had not taken action for 200 years, his popularity in the Blood Battle Stage was still exceedingly high.


    Those who worshiped him were not just male martial artists. There were also large groups of female martial artists as well as noble ladies.


    They did not stint with their worshiping feelings in the slightest, with three cheers for Ka Xin.


    As for Ye Yuan, he was already a dead man in their eyes long ago.


    Over 200 years ago, Ka Xin could only insta-kill those in the same-rank. His current strength was definitely even more unfathomable.


    "Now, the ''King of Blood Battle'', Your Highness Ka Xin, please take the field!" called out the referee in a clear voice.


    The moment his voice faded, screams sounded out all-round.


    The Ka Xin in white robes slowly walked out of the passageway, carrying overweeningly arrogant domineeringness.


    This kind of feeling had not been seen for ages!


    The deafening cheers did not make Ka Xin have a feeling of his hot blood boiling. On the contrary, he was frighteningly calm right now.


    Upon standing in the ring, he seemingly returned to when he took the stage on the Blood Battle Stage again.


    At present, his strength was no longer comparable with the past.


    But upon standing here, his cold-blood state immediately returned to his body.


    In this place, he would not underestimate any opponent.


    Countless times of life-and-death struggles made him understand that underestimating one''s opponent any one time would become a lurking peril of death.


    "Sir Source Night, please appear on the stage!"


    In the passageway, the Ye Yuan in black robes slowly came out.


    Ye Yuan''s appearance immediately caused a stir.


    "Wasn''t it said that Source Night was a middle-rank Fiend General? How did he become a high-rank Fiend General?"


    "It''s just a year''s time and he broke through?"


    "No wonder he dared to challenge His Highness Ka Xin. Looks like he still has some skill!"


    "Hehe, it''s just that breaking through is useless too! His Highness Ka Xin is already half-step Fiend Commander Realm. He can break through to become a Fiend Commander at any time! He''s still dead!"


    ...


    The news that spread previously, Ye Yuan was just a middle-rank Fiend General. But when Ye Yuan appeared in front of everyone, his aura was already much stronger, already a high-rank Fiend General just like that!


    Inside a secret private room, You Ming saw that Ye Yuan broke through his realm, but his brows furrowed.


    "This kid actually forcefully broke through his realm! Looks like we all overestimated him!" You Ming said with a sigh.


    The expression of the Bloodeagle by the side changed and he said, "It''s over! The positions opened this time are too big. Three years of profit is going to sink into the water!"


    When Ka Xin saw Ye Yuan, he was surprised for a while first. Very soon, his face revealed a mocking look.


    "I didn''t expect that you actually forcefully broke through your realm for this challenge. Huhu, do you think that by breaking through a minor realm, you can kill me?" Ka Xin said with an amused look as he smiled.


    To genius martial artists, forcefully breaking through realms was a great taboo. It would cause one''s foundation to become unstable.


    Ka Xin, Qin Tian, these geniuses, their cultivation speed were all very fast, but they had to suppress their realms and not let their realm increase too quickly. It was in order to retain potential to the greatest limit.


    But Ye Yuan actually forcefully broke through his realm for this battle today. This would cause his foundation to be unstable.


    Although his strength increased, it was a time-bomb.


    Perhaps, it would explode at any time.

 1498 Iron Wire True Fiend Punch

    Ka Xin pointed at the cheering crowd and said proudly, "Do you think that only you can jump realms to battle? Listen to their cheers. This is what I exchanged for using one victory after another!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "I know, 800 over matches of consecutive wins. It''s no big deal. In the past, nobody ended your winning streak. But it doesn''t mean that right now, there isn''t."


    A mere 800 over matches of consecutive wins were nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Back then, he won several thousand matches in a row in Cloudmarsh City, seeking but one defeat and not getting it.


    That was the feeling of seeking defeat amidst loneliness.


    The things that Ka Xin had felt before, he felt before. The things that Ka Xin never felt before, he had similarly felt before.


    He acknowledged that Ka Xin was a powerful opponent, but he was even more confident in himself!


    However, Ye Yuan''s words immediately caused a mighty uproar.


    "What did he say? Over 800 matches of consecutive wins is nothing? Huhu, what a riot!"


    "He''s talking big to impress people here! Ignorant fool, when he witnesses the King of Blood Battle''s terrifying strength, he''ll know what over 800 matches mean!"


    "Shameless boasting! A pretty boy like him will be dead in less than three days going onto the Blood Battle Stage."


    "He actually dares to insult my idol! A mere high-rank Fiend General, truly unbelievably arrogant!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words had another feeling when others heard them.


    Overestimating your own ability, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. In general, it was what these people thought of Ye Yuan.


    Ka Xin was the undefeated god of war in their hearts, so how could he possibly lose to such an unusual fellow?


    Ka Xin laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Haha, perhaps there''s someone capable of ending my winning streak, but that person definitely isn''t you. Regarding your action of seeking death, I admire it very much!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether or not it''s seeking death, you''ll know right away."


    Seeing the gunpowder smell gradually became thicker, the referee spoke up in a timely manner, "Since both of you parties have agreed upon life-and-death, this battle isn''t limited to any means. As long as you can kill your opponent, it will do. Now, the battle begins!"


    Finished talking, the referee withdrew from the main ring. The protective grand array activated. A wave of fanaticism was set off on the grandstands once more.


    "Attack, King of Blood Battle! Kill that pretty boy!"


    "Your Highness Ka Xin, let us have a taste of the style of the King of Blood Battle again!"


    "Kill, kill, kill! Beat him into scraps!"


    ...


    The cheering sounds were louder one wave after another.


    The entire Blood Battle Stage was virtually supporting Ka Xin one-sidedly.


    As for Ye Yuan, probably only the Fan Family would cheer him on.


    "Heh heh, nobody has dared to challenge me for 200 years! Got to admit, you''re very courageous. In order to reward your courage, I''ll blast you until not even residue remains!"


    Ka Xin laughed ferociously, the aura on his entire body suddenly changed.


    That image of an elegant and poised prince was immediately gone.


    What was standing on the ring right now was a vicious wolf, full of a dangerous aura from top to bottom.


    Fiendish energy surged on Ka Xin''s body. On a pair of divine artifact gloves, two black-colored virtual images of a fist condensed and formed.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, the fiendish energy within his body also secretly revolved, taking precautions.


    Bloodeagle''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "The moment he came up and it''s the Iron Wire True Fiend Punch? That boy is in danger! Back then, when he was still only initial-rank Fiend General, he used this move and unleashed 300 punches in a row, forcefully smashing a middle-rank Fiend General into minced meat! From start to end, that middle-rank Fiend General never made a single move! And that middle-rank Fiend General already won 86 matches in a row at that time!"


    Regarding Ka Xin''s past, Bloodeagle could speak on it with great familiarity.


    To be able to make the Blood Battle Stage''s hall master pay such attention, Ka Xin''s prowess back then could be seen at a glance.


    You Ming''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Looks like he''s going to compete in speed with Source Night! Ka Xin this lad is still so domineering! Wonder whether or not Source Night this brat can block or not."


    You Ming naturally knew that Ye Yuan''s sword art was adept at speed.


    Ka Xin''s move was going to compete in Ye Yuan''s strength with him!


    Weren''t you fast?


    I''ll use speed to beat you!


    "Mn? This stance �� it''s the Iron Wire True Fiend Punch! Haha, truly a move that hasn''t been seen for a long time!"


    "His Highness Ka Xin did a big move the moment he came up! This punk is pitiable!"


    "Back then, the Da Meng who was known as the ''Iron Butcher'' was forcefully bombarded to death by His Highness Ka Xin and didn''t even make a single move! Let us guess how many punches this kid can block? Hahaha!"


    ...


    The moment these words came out, everyone started guessing one after another.


    Some said three punches, some said ten punches, some said one punch.


    All in all, no one was optimistic about Ye Yuan at all.


    Swoosh!


    Right then, Ka Xin moved!


    From silence to moving, it was extremely sudden.


    Even if everyone was prepared, they also felt that their reaction was somewhat lagging behind.


    At virtually the same time, Ye Yuan moved too!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Right after, a series of detonating sounds transmitted over.


    The vast majority of the people on the grandstands could not see the two people''s fight at all. They only saw the black fist images filling the air everywhere.


    Those were the fist images of the Iron Wire True Fiend Punch!


    However, they could not see Ye Yuan draw his sword at all!


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan was being completely suppressed.


    Those dense fist images made people practically about to suffocate.


    Separated by the protective grand array, they could feel that horrifying laws undulation.


    "So strong! This is the strength of the King of Blood Battle!"


    "His Highness Ka Xin''s present strength completely can''t be mentioned in the same breath as back then!"


    "Speed, strength, power of laws, all have gone up several steps! I feel that his strength is also not much worse compared to initial-rank Fiend Commanders, right?"


    ...


    The people forgot to cheer for a moment. It was exclamations everywhere on the stands.


    Under the fist images, Ye Yuan appeared very flustered.


    Ever since comprehending Chasing Moon to grand completion, there were virtually not many people capable of keeping up with his speed.


    But after Ka Xin''s Iron Wire True Fiend Punch was unleashed, it was like a motor that never rests, unable to stop at all!


    Over a dozen breaths of time, Ka Xin already unleashed several hundred punches, each punch faster than the last!


    Ye Yuan had just dodged a punch and the next punch arrived with a howl.


    He did not have time to draw his sword at all. Just a fraction slower and he would be swept by the fist winds.


    Currently, Ye Yuan''s vital energy and blood were erratic. Although he barely managed to dodge these hundreds of punches, the undulations of power of laws suffused everywhere in the air still caused considerable damage to him.


    Ka Xin''s might was somewhat out of expectations!


    "No, wait, he''s building up fist momentum! Can''t drag on like this with him anymore! His realm far surpasses mine, his explosive power is much stronger than mine!"


    If it were others, such high intensity moves, the fist momentum should get weaker and weaker.


    But Ka Xin''s fist was clearly one punch stronger than the other.


    His fist winds already gradually caught up with Ye Yuan''s movement technique.


    At this rate, Ye Yuan would lose without a doubt!


    "Sundering Stars!"


    Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back, the Evil Extermination Sword chopping out like lightning.


    Boom!


    Two power of laws collided together vigorously at close range.


    Ye Yuan spurted fresh blood wildly, figure slamming onto the protective grand array like a straight line.


    While Ka Xin''s Iron Wire True Fiend Punch finally stopped because of this chopping move.

 1499 Attaining the Acme of Perfection, Drawing Parallels From Inference!

    "Haha, with this bit of strength, he also dares to challenge His Highness Ka Xin! Really tired of living!"


    "Ignorant fool! Now, he knows the strength of the King of Blood Battle, right?"


    "Hey, is he dead? Not dead, quickly stand up and carry on letting His Highness Ka Xin abuse!"


    ...


    On the stand, a wave of intense cheering erupted.


    No one had sympathy for Ye Yuan.


    On the Blood Battle Stage, only the victor would obtain applause and admiration.


    Losers, no one had sympathy!


    In their view, Ye Yuan challenging His Highness Ka Xin was totally overestimating his own ability.


    Bloodeagle secretly heaved a sigh in relief. He was nervous just now until his palm broke out in a sweat, thinking that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually pulled through.


    "Heh, this kid has such incredible insight! A little bit later and he''d be defeated," Bloodeagle said.


    You Ming said, "Breaking the fist momentum at the risk of getting injured, this kid is still very daring and resolute. It''s just that, the speed which he relies on to face his enemies is utterly restricted. Truly can''t see the chances of winning!"


    At this time, You Ming already fully confirmed that that packet of powder indeed did not affect Ka Xin''s strength. Then what on earth was its effect?


    Ye Yuan racked his brains, could it be that it was doing pointless endeavors?


    "Don''t you still have an even faster move? Why didn''t you use it? Heh heh, let me see just how fast you are," Ka Xin said with a satisfied look.


    Ye Yuan secretly revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art to recover his injuries. A cold light appeared in his eyes and he said in a cold voice, "As you wish!"


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    Those on the grandstands whose strength did not reach Fiend Commander Realm could not see Ye Yuan''s shadow at all.


    It was as if Ye Yuan disappeared into thin air!


    "Where is he? Why is he gone?"


    "Could it be fast until we can''t see? This �� is also too fast, right?!"


    "A high-rank Fiend General can actually be swift to this kind of degree? No wonder he dared to challenge His Highness Ka Xin. He really has some ability!"


    "Heh, it''s no use! The King of Blood Battle is undefeatable! This kid is hard-pressed to escape death!"


    ...


    When Ka Xin saw this scene, his expression could not help turning intent!


    Even faster!


    Compared to facing off with Starshine they all the last time, the speed of Ye Yuan''s Phantom Kill move was much faster again!


    Last time, he could still see Ye Yuan''s figure clearly. But this time, with his visual prowess, he actually only saw a blurry shadow.


    How could the improvement be so great in a year''s time?


    Not only breaking through a minor realm, the power of laws even improved further too!


    The Blood Battle Stage''s grandstands actually had a total of three levels.


    However, the third level''s grandstand was never open to the public.


    This was a secret room. The outside world could not perceive it at all.


    Inside this room, a man and a woman, two figures, were currently staring at the ring below.


    The woman was very beautiful. Even if just standing there, she gave people a bewitching sensation.


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that this woman was precisely the Yi Han who received him at the Hundred Knows Hall!


    When Yi Han saw Ye Yuan use Phantom Kill, a trace of amazement was revealed in her gaze, and she said to the man beside her: "What terrifying talent. He actually drew parallels from inference, comprehending spatial laws through Sword Dao laws!"


    The man''s face also revealed a shocked expression and said, "No wonder he can be selected by you. This boy''s talent is indeed astonishing! Drawing parallels from inference, this requires one''s utilization of Sword Dao laws to reach the acme of perfection before they can accomplish it. His power of laws isn''t strong. What is strong lies with putting it to use!"


    When people cultivated the power of laws, they only knew to cultivate the strength of the power of laws. But extremely few people practiced application of the power of laws.


    No matter how strong the power of laws, if one did not know how to apply it, it was like a child swinging a broadsword; unable to unleash the true might of the power of laws.


    The way of application was similarly divided into realms: first glimpse at the door, achieving mastery through comprehensive study, unity of mind, as well as the most fleeting and ephemeral, acme of perfection[1]!


    Ye Yuan had always been able to defeat the strong as the weak. The reason lied in his realm of application.


    To the vast majority of martial artists, they pursued the realm of laws blindly but neglected the application of laws. Hence, they stopped at the first glimpse at the door.


    A minority of martial artists who fought in more actual combats, they could reach the realm of achieving mastery through comprehensive study.


    An extremely small portion of the people was able to cultivate to the extent of unity of mind through countless battles.


    As for the realm of acme of perfection, those who could reach it were like feathers of a phoenix and the horn of a Qilin.


    On one hand, it hinged on talent. On the other hand, it also depended on how much a person''s actual combat experience was.


    Of course, very few people spent their energy to go and practice the way of application. Because this required expending a large amount of time, with the losses outweighing the gains.


    Once they missed the golden period of cultivation, it would be very hard for their realm to want to break through.


    When Ye Yuan was at the Sword Tomb, he could be said to have been subjected to all kinds of torment before he comprehended Sword Dao laws. Not because he was a masochist, but because he was experiencing each sword''s true essence, experiencing the way of application!


    Therefore, he was able to trigger the resonance of all of the swords!


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao laws power advanced very slowly. Not because his comprehension was poor, but because he spent a great deal of time on the way of application.


    Leaving the Sword Tomb, Ye Yuan currently had the Death Cultivation Space.


    There, he could feel the inadequacies of his sword art even more distinctly.


    For him to be able to kill his way out of the Death Cultivation Space time after time and never failing, what it relied on was not a fluke.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to late-stage Heaven Glimpse and entered the Death Cultivation Space several times, he finally trained the way of application to the acme of perfection realm.


    And this time, during the time Ye Yuan was in the Death Cultivation Space, when he urged Phantom Kill to the limits, his mind suddenly became more agile as luck hit, comprehending a trace of spatial law power!


    After this trace of spatial law power merged into his movement technique, it made Phantom Kill this move become even more illusionary and abstruse.


    Even with Ka Xin''s strength, he found it hard to capture his figure.


    Ka Xin''s expression changed. He discovered that he actually could not keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed anymore!


    He only said a sentence provocatively just now, wanting Ye Yuan to exhibit Phantom Kill, but did not expect that what he saw was actually the Phantom Kill after evolution!


    "Brahma True Fiend Dharma Idol! Protect me!"


    Ka Xin gave a fierce cry, his fiendish energy surging. A true fiend dharma idol condensed behind him!


    The true fiend dharma idol lied prostrated on the ground and actually protected Ka Xin''s entire person firmly in the middle.


    Then the entire space exploded!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Everyone could only see Ye Yuan''s figure and only saw that the true fiend dharma idol''s body was bombarded countless times within an extremely short time!


    Bang!


    Following a huge bang, the true fiend dharma idol dissipated with a loud bang. Ka Xin''s body flew out backward.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s figure also revealed himself, appearing rather ragged.


    Although his realm broke through, Phantom Kill''s power became greater. The consumption of divine essence also became much greater.


    It was also just him. If it were others, they were completely unable to support Phantom Kill this move while being in the same realm.


    On the grandstands, it was deathly quiet.


    They were all stunned by this scene!


    Their King of Blood Battle was actually struck flying by someone?


    Furthermore, the one who sent him flying was merely just a high-rank Fiend General!


    In Capone Capital City, nobody had ever thought that they could jump realms to defeat Ka Xin before.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    [1] Honestly, these aren''t important, they don''t really show up again.

 1500 True Fiend Mantle VS Daybreak!

    "Is my eyesight failing? His Highness Ka Xin was actually defeated?"


    "This Source Night �� is so strong! Really too strong!"


    "He''s just a high-rank Fiend General, to actually be able to defeat the half-step Fiend Commander His Highness Ka Xin!"


    "His Highness Ka Xin has basically been all jumping realms to battle after ten years at the Blood Battle Stage! Today, he was actually defeated by someone jumping realms. This �� This is too inconceivable!"


    ...


    The momentous and tidal-like yelling disappeared. What replaced it was a series of exclamations.


    Those fanatical supporters of Ka Xin suddenly became confused.


    What they saw was an idol suddenly collapsing.


    They finally knew that Ye Yuan was not a fool seeking his death. He was really impressive!


    "Hahaha, Ka Lan, didn''t you say that Ka Xin will pummel him into minced meat? Didn''t you want to brag? Why don''t you boast now!"


    When Fan Lin saw this scene, he could not resist speaking sarcastically.


    Ka Lan''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He gave a cold snort and said, "It''s not over yet! How many times do you think that kid can use this move?"


    Fan Lin said smugly, "Heh, just need to be able to use once more will suffice! You look at Ka Xin''s state. Can he still resist a second time?"


    At this time, the fiendish energy on Ka Xin''s body had dissipated significantly.


    This Phantom Kill move of Ye Yuan''s was too ruthless. The Brahma True Fiend Dharma Idol blocked the majority of the power, but it still made him sustain heavy injuries.


    Compared to Ye Yuan''s injuries earlier, his was much more severe.


    Ka Xin crawled up from the ground rather difficultly, his gaze looking over toward Ye Yuan coldly.


    Until now, he still did not dare to believe it. A year''s time, how could Ye Yuan improve so quickly?


    He was previously still mocking Ye Yuan forcefully breaking through realm. Looking at it now, it was completely not the case!


    Not only did Ye Yuan break through to become a high-rank Fiend General for real, furthermore, his realm was also already consolidated very solidly, without the slightest trace of instability.


    "Good, very good! Source Night, to be able to force this prince to this extent, you can be sufficiently proud of yourself! If my conjectures are right, that move just now, you can only attack once more, right?" Ka Xin said with a dark expression.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "So what if yes, so what if not?"


    Ka Xin snorted coldly and said, "Whether yes or not, you can''t escape death! True Fiend Mantle, Magnificent Devilish Heaven!"


    Rumble ��


    An enormous true fiend phantom condensed and formed above Ka Xin''s head.


    Countless heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered over here.


    The terrifying true fiend pressure made everyone somewhat breathless.


    "It''s True Fiend Devil Soul Mantle! My God! His Higness Ka Xin is actually already able to summon the true fiend devil soul!"


    "Devil soul mantle! Not only can it let fiend essence instantly recover, furthermore, one can cast numerous ancient forbidden moves, its power being incomparably terrifying!"


    "Really didn''t expect that His Highness Ka Xin still had such a trump card! With this, Source Night is in danger!"


    "This Source Night''s talent is indeed terrifying, even surpassing His Highness Ka Xin! It''s too bad, his realm is too low. Ultimately, it''s difficult to escape death!"


    ...


    The moment Ka Xin''s move was unleashed, everyone got a huge shock.


    Summoning true fiend devil soul, this was a unique secret art of the fiend race; exceedingly difficult to master.


    Those able to summon true fiend mantle were all peak geniuses of the fiend race.


    Seeing this scene, Bloodeagle whose expression had just taken a turn for the better immediately changed drastically and said, "It''s over, it''s over! Still thought that it''s a big win this time. Didn''t expect that Ka Xin this boy can actually summon the true fiend devil soul already!"


    You Ming frowned and said, "Looks like the victory has been decided!"


    On the third level stands, the man who had both brows tightly knitted the whole time finally eased up, and said with a faint smile, "Looks like he isn''t Ka Xin''s match in the end! Such talent, what a shame!"


    Yi Han''s face also revealed a look of surprise, but she smiled and said, "Congratulations, City Lord Ka Long, for having a worthy successor! This Source Night is a promising talent. Looks like �� It was too hasty."


    This man was actually Capone Capital City''s city lord, Ka Long!


    Look at Yi Han''s tone when speaking with him, they were actually on equal footings.


    Ka Long smiled when he heard that and said, "Looks like you have no other choice as well!"


    Yi Han smiled but did not say anything.


    At this time, the true fiend devil soul on top of Ka Xin''s head slowly landed and actually fused into his body.


    For some time, fiendish energy surged monstrously!


    Ka Xin slowly opened both eyes, his eyes pitch-black.


    "Hahaha, what powerful strength! Really makes my hot blood boil! Source Night, I admit that you''re very strong! But you still have to die! Heavenly Fiend Hidden Art, Boundless Devil Shadow! Iron Wire True Fiend Punch!"


    Ka Xin gave a fierce cry, his figure suddenly vanishing on the spot!


    He was actually the same as Ye Yuan, vanishing from everyone''s line of sight!


    "Phantom Kill!"


    At the same time, Ye Yuan gave a light cry, his figure likewise disappearing!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    On the ring, terrifying bombardment sounds came over.


    Two terrifying power of laws clashed in the ring.


    However, no one could see their figures at all.


    The two people seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Only that intense tremor sound made it clear to all about these two people''s existence.


    Although they could not see, everyone felt like they were about to suffocate.


    These two people''s strengths were too formidable, virtually already reached the limits that Fiend General Realm could achieve!


    "This �� Just who is dominating? Can''t see at all!"


    "Is there still a need to say? It must be His Highness Ka Xin! He''s cloaking on the true fiend, fiend essence being supplied endlessly. Furthermore, there''s the true fiend secret art, his speed can already catch up to Source Night''s! This battle is already without suspense!"


    "Lucky, lucky! I wagered all of my assets on His Highness Ka Xin to win. Didn''t expect that this Source Night was actually a major dark horse, almost causing me to lose all of my net worth!"


    "Heh, who isn''t! That move of Source Night''s is really strong. It''s just too bad that he can only sustain for a short while."


    ...


    Everyone only saw bombarding sounds coming from the corners of the ring continuously, determining their positions with this.


    It was just that how the battle situation was, nobody knew as well.


    In a twinkle, several dozen breaths passed.


    On the battlefield, a quiet voice faintly transmitted over.


    "Daybreak!"


    There was a violent explosion sound, blowing up the entire ring''s floor. Dust and smoke were flying everywhere.


    Finally, that violent fighting sound ceased.


    The dust and smoke dispersed. Two extremely wretched figures appeared in front of everyone.


    Ye Yuan panted heavily for air, his complexion incomparably pale. There was no idea how many injuries sustained on his body, blood flowing non-stop.


    However, Ka Xin''s situation was even worse than his!


    Ka Xin''s true fiend devil soul was already utterly dispersed by Ye Yuan, his fleshy body virtually having more than half shaved off by Ye Yuan, looking incomparably devastating.


    Ka Xin''s gaze stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he said, "You �� actually still had a trump card to play!"


    Ye Yuan''s trump card was the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art''s third form: Daybreak!


    This move broke myriad moves under the heavens!


    Under the state of Phantom Kill, Ye Yuan unleashing this move directly shattered his true fiend devil soul.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I said this before, your winning streaks are nothing. That''s because �� you never encountered me!"


    "Haha ��"


    Ka Xin suddenly laughed wildly non-stop, looked at Ye Yuan, and said with pity, "Do you think that it''s over just like this? Since I can''t kill you at Fiend General Realm, then �� I''ll use Fiend Commander Realm to kill you!"

 1501 Unfettered Souleater Powder

    Hearing Ka Xin''s wild laughter, You Ming''s body suddenly trembled.


    "This packet of powder is just in order to ensure that he and I fight under fair conditions!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were still ringing in his ears. You Ming suddenly realized that that packet of powder was in order to prevent Ka Xin from forcefully breaking through at the last minute to the Fiend Commander Realm!


    But could that packet of powder really do it?


    "You Ming, what''s wrong with you?" Bloodeagle suddenly asked.


    You Ming shook his head and said, "Nothing! I wonder if Ka Xin can succeed in breaking through or not. If he succeeds, Ye Yuan will be in danger."


    Although Bloodeagle and he both belonged to the Blood Yama Hall, this kind of thing, the fewer people that knew, the better.


    Ka Xin was the Ka Family''s number one genius after all. A junior who would definitely be able to inherit the position of city lord in the future.


    Once the news leaked out, it would be a troublesome affair.


    Therefore, this matter, the fewer people that knew, the better.


    Killing people did not necessarily need to use weapons.


    How powerful the Assassination Hall was, only he, the hall master, as well as the Blood Yama Hall''s hall master knew.


    On the second day after Ye Yuan handed him this packet of powder, he had Ka Xin drink it in complete secrecy.


    And now, it seemed like it reached the time for it to take effect.


    But Bloodeagle''s expression was ugly as he said, "With Ka Xin''s strength, breaking through shouldn''t be an issue. It will depend on whether Source Night can recover fiend essence rapidly or not."


    The two people had both reached the point of total exhaustion right now. Whoever recovers strength first would be the victor!


    Ye Yuan did not bother with Ka Xin''s ridiculing. He took out a medicinal pill very indifferently, and started recovering fiend essence.


    Everyone''s heart leaped to their throats, watching this scene extremely nervously.


    The violent spiritual energy gathered over from all directions. Ka Xin let out a long laugh, laughing brazenly without any fear.


    This powerful sidelong glance made everyone cast a sidelong glance.


    As long as Ka Xin broke through a realm, spiritual energy would instantly pour into Ka Xin''s body, becoming his fiend essence!


    The fiend race primarily cultivated the fiend soul. Ka Xin completely released the suppression of the fiend soul and let the fiend soul start getting into contact with Heavenly Dao.


    As long as he obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao, his fiend soul would be able to advance smoothly, becoming a Fiend Commander powerhouse!


    Suddenly, Ka Xin''s expression changed drastically.


    He discovered that his fiend soul seemed to have run into a barrier. He was actually unable to break through!


    The realm of Fiend Commander was right under his nose, seemingly within grasp.


    But, this last step, he was unable to take it no matter what.


    That feeling was like the reflection of the moon in the water. He could see it, but it could not be touched, driving him crazy.


    "Damn it! Break through! What''s going on?" Ka Xin cried out in his heart.


    "Mn? What''s going on? His Highness Ka Xin �� seems to be somewhat not quite right!"


    "With his strength, breaking through the bottleneck should be something that happens naturally without extra effort. But why is the spiritual energy showing signs of dissipating?"


    "No way, right? His Highness Ka Xin is actually unable to break through? This �� How is this possible?"


    ...


    Very soon, the crowd on the grandstand discovered something amiss.


    The spiritual energy that gathered over failed to be absorbed by Ka Xin and had signs of dissipating instead.


    This discovery made everyone perplexed.


    You Ming''s expression became intent, titanic waves set off in his heart!


    It indeed came!


    The function of that packet of powder was indeed in order to prevent Ka Xin from forcefully breaking through!


    You Ming as the Assassination Hall''s hall master could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable.


    He had never heard before that there was some kind of medicinal powder that could make people unable to break through realms. Furthermore, the party still did not have the faintest inkling.


    This packet of medicinal powder was truly unknown to Gods nor ghosts!


    Moreover, Ye Yuan said back then, this packet of medicinal powder would have an effect on his level of powerhouse.


    If he did not believe in such heresy and tried it, would it be impossible for him to break through to the Fiend Lord Realm in this lifetime too?


    Extreme horror after long deliberation!


    The grandstand''s third level, Yi Han looked at Ye Yuan who slowly stood up. A hint of a smile flashed across her eyes.


    "Looks like the outcome is a foregone conclusion! City Lord Ka Long, you wouldn''t blame me, right?" Yi Han said to Ka Long with a smile.


    But Ka Long seemed very indifferent and said with a smile, "Hall Master Yi Han is too kind! Reaching our realm, those below Fiend Lord are all ants. Ka Xin losing to Source Night is his strength being inadequate. How could I blame you? Merely a junior, just groom another one will do."


    If Ye Yuan heard this, he would definitely get a huge shock.


    Yi Han who teased and flirted with him that time was actually the incomparably mysterious Blood Yama Hall''s hall master!


    And she was actually a Fiend Lord powerhouse, the same as City Lord Ka Long!


    Hearing Ka Long say this, Yi Han covered her mouth and smiled as she said, "It''s good that City Lord doesn''t blame me! You rest assured, I owe you a favor this time."


    Ka Long''s brows raised up. Looking at Yi Han rather surprisedly, she said, "Hall Master Yi Han''s favor is much more valuable than a junior."


    ...


    Ye Yuan slowly walked towards Ka Xin and said nonchalantly, "I said before, your winning streak isn''t anything remarkable. You see, nobody is cheering for you anymore."


    A hint of panic finally flashed across Ka Xin''s face.


    "No, impossible! Why, why would I fail to break through? This �� This is impossible!"


    Helplessness was written all over Ka Xin''s face. He completely never thought before that he would fail breaking through the Fiend Commander Realm!


    Let alone that Ye Yuan had long planned this scheme a year ago, in order to prevent him from breaking through his realm.


    Everything was long already destined at that moment when he decided to kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had witnessed before Qin Tian breaking through at the last minute. So how could he possibly give him the opportunity to break through?


    That packet of powder was called Unfettered Souleater Powder, a medicine specially made to target the fiend race''s fiend soul.


    As long as fiend race martial artists consumed it, the Unfettered Souleater Powder would directly act on the fiend soul, making the fiend soul unable to perceive heaven''s secrets, unable to advance an inch further in this lifetime!


    The Unfettered Souleater Powder was colorless and odorless and also would not cause any harm to a martial artist''s strength.


    But, as long as they succumbed, they could forget about breaking through again in this lifetime.


    Until death, they would not know what was going on.


    Although the Unfettered Souleater Powder that Ye Yuan refined could not affect You Ming to the point he could no longer advance an inch further for life, but for him to advance to become a Fiend Lord this kind of thing, he could forget about it.


    "Impossible! I''m the King of Blood Battle! How can I lose to a high-rank Fiend General? Argh! I''ll fight it out with you!"


    Ka Xin roared, pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.


    However, in his current state, he was unable to pose any threat to Ye Yuan at all.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with pity and said coolly, "When you were immersed in the glory of the past, you were already doomed to today''s outcome. You are not irreplaceable. The King of Blood Battle is it? What a ridiculous honor!"


    Chiii!


    Ye Yuan''s long sword swung, directly crushing Ka Xin''s fiend soul, not giving him any chance.


    All those present were dead silent.


    Although they had long already known the outcome, when this instant arrived, they still could not quite believe it.


    The King of Blood Battle, the legend of the Blood Battle Stage, was defeated just like this?


    Just what kind of terrifying existence is that handsome young man on the ring?!


    "This battle, Source Night wins, Ka Xin loses!"


    Finally, the referee''s announcement shattered this silence.

 1502 Attracted by Fame

    Even with Bloodeagle''s shrewdness, he nearly jumped up.


    He was simply too excited. A single fight actually earned back two to three years of profit!


    This money was simply swept over by the wind.


    The Blood Battle Stage was the most profitable hall among the halls within the Blood Yama Hall. It could be described using the phrase bringing in bushels of gold daily.


    But earning money like this today had never happened in history before!


    Deducting those who bet on Ye Yuan''s victory, the Blood Battle Stage crazily pulled in 100 billion low-grade fiend essence stones today alone.


    "Hahaha! It''s still Lord Hall Master who had foresight. This money was earned too easily! I really didn''t expect, really didn''t expect! Before today, who would have thought that a middle-rank Fiend General could defeat the King of Blood Battle, Ka Xin?" Bloodeagle said excitedly.


    Today, the Blood Battle Hall reaped a huge earning. He, this hall master, felt like his back was straightened.


    You Ming was clearly not as excited as Bloodeagle and said indifferently, "Yea, it''s still Lord Hall Master who had the foresight! This boy is absolutely not a creature that belongs in a shallow pond. His talent, methods, are all too terrifying!"


    A few families rejoice and a few families are in sorrow!


    Compared to Bloodeagle''s excitement, wailing sounds echoed outside.


    "It''s over! This time, it''s thoroughly over! Was I freaking stupid? Why would I pledge all of my assets? With this, I lost everything!"


    "My fiend essence stones! Sniff sniff �� Your Father went through fire and water for several thousand years before saving up these few tens of thousands of fiend essence stones. Now �� returned to before liberation overnight!"


    "Damn Ka Xin, to actually cause me to lose so badly! Ahh, ahh, ahh, I''m going crazy!"


    "Hahaha �� Profit! Earned big profits! I wagered 50 thousand fiend essence stones and it flipped 15 times all at once! 15 times! Hahaha ��"


    ...


    That person was immersed in excitement but did not notice that there were already many pairs of eyes staring at him.


    Those mucking around the Blood Battle Stage, the majority were martial artists mucking around at the bottom-level.


    Now that they lost all of their assets, they were already anxious until their eyes turned red.


    This fellow who bet on Ye Yuan''s victory earned money but did not know how to restrain himself. Later, he would not even know how he died.


    However, there were always some people who were exceptions.


    Fan Lin was hugging Li Ji at this time, wishing to hold her with his everything.


    He had never felt that this daughter was so pleasing to the eye.


    Ye Yuan was the Fan Family''s special-grade retainer. Fan Lin naturally would not bet on Ka Xin''s win like the others.


    However, he was not optimistic about Ye Yuan at all.


    Harboring the idea of cheering Ye Yuan on, Fan Lin bet on Ye Yuan one million fiend essence stones.


    He never thought that in a blink, Ye Yuan earned him 15 million fiend essence stones!


    Even to a large family like the Fan Family, 15 million fiend essence stones were absolutely not a small sum as well.


    More importantly, there was excitement on his face!


    The name of Source Night would reverberate throughout Capone Capital City tonight. His Fan Family would naturally benefit from association with it too.


    "My good daughter, you''re really too discerning! This treasure, you have to help me keep in the Fan Family no matter what! Hahaha ��" Fan Lin said with a loud laugh.


    Starting from just now, there was no idea how many Capone Capital City nobles coming over to congratulate him.


    He, this Fan Family''s family head, immediately felt radiance on his face.


    However, Li Ji was clearly not as optimistic as Fan Lin.


    She kept feeling that Ye Yuan was neither friendly nor aloof to her. Regarding her active pursuit, he also seemed very perfunctory.


    Sigh, can only take it one step at a time, Li Ji thought in her heart.


    ...


    When the entire capital city was discussing how formidable Ye Yuan was and so on, Ye Yuan himself was not very aware of it.


    Walking along the way, Ye Yuan had defeated too many geniuses, regardless of whether alchemy or martial arts.


    Toward this kind of victory, he had long been able to treat it like a normal day.


    Returning to the Fan Family to recuperate his wounds, Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to cultivate but spent all day in the Fiend Medicine Hall.


    His prestige was like the noonday sun currently. Everyone in the Fiend Medicine Hall, including the hall master, all treated him with the courtesy of a teacher.


    Such a good resource, Ye Yuan did not wish to squander.


    He worked as a teacher in the Fiend Medicine Hall while making use of the Fiend Medicine Hall''s resources to comprehend the Alchemy Dao.


    Ye Yuan''s research on Two-star divine pills had not reached the level of grand completion yet. It still required a great deal of practical work before it could attain grand completion.


    The Fiend Medicine Hall''s resources were abundant and they also had the greatest esteem for him. It was naturally the best place for Ye Yuan to study Alchemy Dao.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan became the Fiend Medicine Hall''s attending fiend apothecary, granting all demands.


    Anyone who came to the Fiend Medicine Hall to request for pills, he would accept it all.


    Of course, Ye Yuan studying Alchemy Dao still had a very important mission: to develop the pill formula to repair the divine sea!


    Regarding Little Fatty Xie Jingyi, Ye Yuan had always kept him in mind.


    No matter what, he had to let Fatty Xie restore his divine sea and cultivate anew!


    But Ye Yuan also knew that this was not something that could be done overnight.


    The study of Alchemy Dao required accumulated practice and research. The higher the grade of the divine pill, the harder to comprehend, let alone talk about developing new medicinal pills.


    Half a year was about to pass in a twinkle. The matter of Ka Xin being killed by Ye Yuan had long faded away already.


    But now, the title of Capone Capital City''s number one Fiend Apothecary rose in the capital city.


    Every day, the martial artists who surrounded the Fiend Medicine Hall''s front door to request for pills lined up like a long dragon.


    The fiend general powerhouses in Capone Capital City all took pride in getting one of Master Source Night''s medicinal pills.


    The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined were hiked to an extremely high price in the black market.


    It was inevitable. The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined, the quality was high, and the medicinal effect was strong. Others could not compare to Ye Yuan''s pills at all.


    However, through this half a year of training, Ye Yuan corrected all the bad habits of Meng Qi and the others. This made their pill refining standard improve greatly.


    The five elders were all shedding tears of gratitude.


    On this day, Meng Qi approached Ye Yuan and said carefully, "Master Source Night, our Long Ping Capital City, Blackjade Capital City, and Purple Nether Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Halls'' associates heard that Master''s alchemy standard is extremely high and came attracted by your fame, hoping to listen to master preach on Dao. Wonder what is Master''s opinion?"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said indifferently, "Did you all listen too much and feel that my preaching isn''t worth money? Anyone can come and listen?"


    Meng Qi''s heart thumped and he hurriedly said, "This �� Master''s words are too serious! Master''s preaching, every phrase is a gem, causing us to be enlightened at once. How could it be something cheap?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "The reason why I stay here is that I owe your Blood Yama Hall a favor, not because I have nothing better to do. As for the other capital cities'' Blood Yama Halls, I''m not acquainted with them, and I don''t want to be acquainted as well. Let them go back where they came from!"


    Meng Qi had an awkward look and withdrew helplessly.


    After Meng Qi went out, Ye Yuan gave a cold snicker.


    Did the Blood Yama Hall really take him to be a free labor force?


    Not hemorrhaging any blood at all and wanted him to preach on Dao for them. Dreaming too beautifully.


    Regarding those people coming to listen to the sermons, Ye Yuan did not have objections.


    But they must repay it with a favor!


    In this half a year, although Ye Yuan borrowed the Fiend Medicine Hall, this platform, his alchemy strength improved a lot.


    But what the Fiend Medicine Hall obtained from here far exceeded what they paid.


    Disregarding others, it was still very promising for the five elders to step into the realm of Three-star Fiend Apothecary in the future under his guidance.


    Just this alone was already above their money''s worth.

 1503 Congratulations, Youve Already Been Blacklisted

    After leaving Ye Yuan, Meng Qi had a bitter smile on his face.


    He knew that it would be this result.


    It was just that the hall master made him come over. So he had no choice as well. He could only come and give it a try.


    The Fiend Medicine Hall underwent an earth-shaking transformation under Ye Yuan''s hands in this half a year.


    Recently, these few days, Meng Qi faintly felt his realm that had yet to loosen for a long time actually have signs of going to break through.


    This discovery made him extremely agitated.


    Meng Qi had already stopped at this realm for 10 thousand years.


    He knew that he had long exhausted his potential and that there was basically no hope of breaking through in this lifetime.


    But now, he actually had hopes of breaking through to the legendary Three-star Fiend Apothecary. How could this result not make him wildly ecstatic?


    But Meng Qi knew, for him to be able to break through, it was entirely Ye Yuan''s credit.


    In this half a year, Ye Yuan opened another window for them, letting him see a whole new world.


    The few little tricks that Ye Yuan imparted to them could be said to have polish up their alchemy skill, making their strength advance by leaps and bounds.


    Meng Qi refining the Devil Dragon Flame Crystal Pill currently was basically all middle-grade as the start. There was a very large chance of being able to refine high-grade.


    To be able to have this kind of improvement in half a year, it could simply be described using riding a rocket.


    If it were before, Meng Qi never dared to think that he could still have such rapid improvement in alchemy!


    He knew that the other four elders also obtained varying degrees of improvement.


    And all this was all thanks to Master Source Night!


    Meng Qi even knew that the hall master''s improvement in this half a year was similarly very great. He already flung the other two Three-star Fiend Apothecaries in the city far behind.


    The current Ye Yuan was already revered by them akin to a god!


    The Fiend Medicine Hall''s change was so great, but Ye Yuan never opened his mouth to ask for anything before.


    Even with him being present and refining pills, it was the customers that prepared the required spirit medicines themselves for refinement. The Fiend Medicine Hall did not need to do much.


    It was the Fiend Medicine Hall that owed Ye Yuan greatly.


    Now, the other capital cities'' people are coming to seek experience. This was clearly the interaction between the upper echelons.


    The Blood Yama Hall treated Master Source Night as someone that could be squeezed dry. It would be weird if he was happy.


    Kong Xiao was Blackjade Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master. Regarding upstairs making him bring people over to listen to people preach on Dao, he was actually very disdainful in his heart.


    Fiend Apothecaries were all proud. He, a Three-star Fiend Apothecary, how venerated was his status? Ordinary Fiend Apothecaries, he did not pay any attention to them at all.


    His alchemy strength was also a first-rate existence among the hall masters in the nearby few capital cities.


    What made him even more gloomy was that he heard that this Fiend Apothecary preaching on Dao was actually just a Two-star Fiend Apothecary.


    How to make him accept this?


    "Yi Mo, this master has such airs. Even you, a hall master, can''t invite him?" Kong Xiao said unhappily.


    A Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master wanting to meet a Two-star Fiend Apothecary actually still had to pass on a message. Wasn''t this a joke?


    Yi Mo was Capone Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master. Out of fear of losing face, that was why he made Meng Qi go and invite Ye Yuan.


    Actually, he also knew that Ye Yuan most likely would not agree to meet these people.


    "Kong Xiao, this place isn''t the Blackjade Capital City. If you don''t care about it, you can immediately leave, I didn''t invite you to come!" Yi Mo said with a dark expression.


    The moment Kong Xiao heard, he was delighted and said with a smile, "Yo, became courageous huh?! If not for my hall master asking me to come, do you think I''ll come to this lousy place? What master still, pooh! A Two-star brat also dares to come out and show off! It''s just your lousy standards that you call anybody your master when you see them, right?"


    Capone Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall was indeed ranked near the bottom of the few capital cities in the vicinity.


    From numbers to strength, they were all far inferior to the other few cities.


    Hence, when Kong Xiao saw Yi Mo, he had his head held high, not taking the latter seriously at all.


    Yi Mo was livid with rage and said, "Good! Very good! Since you don''t care for Master Source Night''s preaching the Dao, then please go back!"


    Kong Xiao was just about to speak when Meng Qi came out from inside and said to Yi Mo with a bow, "Hall Master, Master Source Night said, let them go back where they came from!"


    The two people''s conversation just now, Meng Qi heard all of it.


    He originally wanted to say it a little tactfully. Now, he did not give face at all, directly reiterating Ye Yuan''s words as it was.


    When Kong Xiao heard this, he directly lost it and said furiously, "Ha, what high-sounding sentiments! A measly little Two-star Fiend Apothecary actually dares to speak to this hall master this way! I''ll go and meet your hall master straight away. I want to see what she says! Wu Hao, Metalheart, they are kneading us here. Let''s go find their hall master together then!"


    Wu Hao and Metalheart were respectively Long Ping Capital City and Purple Nether Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall masters.


    When Kong Xiao said finish, he turned around and was about to leave.


    But walking a few steps, he discovered that Wu Hao duo did not follow after.


    He could not help stopping and said with a frown, "Didn''t the two of you hear? They are having us go back to where we came from? You guys still want to drag out your stay here to look at people''s countenance?"


    But Wu Hao chuckled and said, "You leave then. Our Long Ping Capital City came over harboring the attitude of learning. How can we sweep away the host''s face? Since he''s a master, he naturally has his pride. We should bring out some sincerity."


    Metalheart also smiled and said, "Why not Brother Kong Xiao go and find Lord Hall Master? Perhaps we''ll be able to meet Master Source Night."


    Kong Xiao''s brows furrowed, countless question marks flashing across in his heart.


    What was with these two people?


    He knew that these two people also looked down on the Capone Fiend Medicine Hall.


    When they just entered the city, the three of them even met up and discussed together that they could not let Yi Mo become intoxicated by success, and had to extinguish their prestige properly.


    Why did their attitudes have a 180-degree major change now?


    There must be something that he did not know in-between this!


    His face fell and he said, "The two of you, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Wu Hao smiled and said, "No meaning. We came to Capone Capital City without paying heed to the distance. We naturally have to have an exchange with Brother Yi Mo more. Brother Yi Mo, this Wu had some queries recently, let''s �� explore it?"


    Yi Mo had yet to speak when Metalheart also smiled and said, "Brother Yi Mo, I brought quite a few people this time. We''re brothers, so we need to interact more!"


    Yi Mo was confused, but one could not reach their hands out to hit a smiling face. He clasped his hands and said with a smile, "That is, of course!"


    Kong Xiao''s eyes narrowed slightly and he gave a cold snort as he said, "Humph! I don''t believe that a Two-star Fiend Apothecary can actually defy the heavens? He''s not meeting us, right? I''ll make him crawl over to see me!"


    Done talking, Kong Xiao was just about to flick his sleeves and leave.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly walked out and just happened to hear this sentence. He said with a smile, "Is that so? Then congratulations to you, you''ve already been blacklisted and can head back home."


    Kong Xiao suddenly turned around and said in a cold voice, "You''re that whatever bullshit master? Heh, I was wondering who it was, turns out that it''s a brat still wet behind his ears! Yi Mo, you all are really declining with the passing of time! Kid, you rest assured. I''ll head back home. But you need to be on your knees and give me three kowtows first!"


    But Ye Yuan did not even bother with him and said to Yi Mo, "Hall Master Yi Mo, this recent half a month, I want to return to the Fan Family for closed-seclusion. This half a month, don''t send people to come and find me."


    Finished talking, he did not wait for Yi Mo to answer either, directly walking past from Kong Xiao''s side and left the Fiend Medicine Hall.

 1504 Redeeming Favor

    Pfft!


    A cloud of green smoke emerged from the medicinal cauldron. The medicinal pill inside already became a scrap pill.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Failed again! Could it be that this medicinal pill to restore the divine sea really can''t be refined?"


    In order to refine the medicinal pill to help Xie Jingyi recover his divine sea, this half a year, Ye Yuan had already failed no idea how many times.


    He attempted no less than one thousand over ways of combining spirit medicine, but he never succeeded even once.


    These one thousand over kinds of combination methods were just the results that he derived in the end.


    There were at least several tens of thousands of pill formulas derived in his mind.


    It was just that in the end, a vast majority of them was rejected by him.


    In order to derive this brand new pill formula, Ye Yuan could be said to have cudgeled his brain.


    However, the result made him very disappointed.


    "You''ve already done your best. Even though Alchemy Gods are Deity Realm powerhouses, they don''t dictate all life on earth too. There are times when human strength would not do. You don''t have to be discouraged either. A medicinal pill to repair the divine sea had never been heard of in the Heavenspan World. It''s easier said than done for you to want to develop it yourself." Dustless'' figure appeared and consoled him.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m not discouraged. In fact, through this half a year of deducing experiments, I feel that I''m already very close to it! It''s just that, this layer of windowpane paper can''t be poked through from start to end, making me somewhat depressed. I have a feeling that as long as I poke through this layer of windowpane paper, my alchemy strength will advance a step further!"


    Dustless looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, as if he did not know the latter.


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s current alchemy level was already far stronger than the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove in the same period.


    Advancing a step further, he even did not quite dare to imagine it.


    Could it be that this guy did not have a limit?


    "Water will flow when a channel is formed. Being too deliberate can be counterproductive instead. This period of time, why don''t you relax a little first? Perhaps, you''ll straighten out your ideas one day," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "It''s also time to leave seclusion. I''m afraid some people are already tired of waiting."


    Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Long Zhan was long already waiting for him.


    "Master, there''s a Blood Yama Hall''s guest waiting for you in the box room," Long Zhan said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, "You withdraw then, I''ll handle it."


    Walking two steps, Ye Yuan suddenly turned back and said, "You go and find Fan Yu to fetch a batch of spirit medicines over, just say that I said it. This is the formula. You''ve already been stuck at half-step Origin Deity for very long, right?"


    Hearing this, Long Zhan involuntarily trembled all over. A surge of wild elation welled up in his heart and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "This lowly one has already been stuck at this step for 15 thousand years!"


    Ye Yuan gave an ''mmn'' and said, "Your talent is pretty good. Originally, entering the Heavenspan World, you could break through to Origin Deity. It''s just a shame that it was delayed. Looking on the account of your diligence and earnestness these few years, I''ll give you a ride!"


    Long Zhan''s entire body trembled agitatedly as he said, "Long Zhan thanks Master very much!"


    Ye Yuan voiced his assent and turned around and left.


    Long Zhan''s pair of fists were gripped tightly, his face appearing somewhat red because of excitement.


    These 100 thousand years, it was his first time being so agitated.


    His state of mind that was originally akin to low-level of water finally produced a trace of ripple.


    For 100 thousand years, he bemoaned how tragic his own fate was all the time.


    His entire person seemingly fell into darkness, all the way until Ye Yuan''s appearance.


    Long Zhan had never thought that this bumpkin who came out of the Immortal Grove World like him actually had such outstanding talent.


    The entire Capone Capital City was stirred until waves ran high by his new master.


    All forces were revolving around his master.


    "Sigh! One misstep and every step became wrong! Got to double down my efforts from now onwards. I hope that I can get Master''s forgiveness in the future!" Long Zhan said with a sigh.


    ...


    When Ye Yuan saw Yi Han, he could not help being somewhat surprised.


    "Source Night pays respect to Hall Master. I didn''t think that Hall Master actually arrived in person," Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Yi Han''s gaze and she said with a smile, "You actually guessed my identity long ago! Looks like I still underestimated you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn''t think of it at that time. But after coming back from the Hundred Knows Hall, I thought carefully, and I realised that Hall Master had many suspicious points on you."


    Yi Han smiled sweetly and said, "No wonder Ka Xin would die at your hands. His level of skill is far too lacking compared to you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hall Master is too kind."


    Yi Han giggled and said, "I even find that I didn''t praise enough! It looks like I indeed didn''t find the wrong person."


    Ye Yuan gave Yi Han a glance with a profound expression and said, "Hall Master coming personally, could it be to have me return the favor?"


    Yi Han gave Ye Yuan a glance reproachfully and said with devilish flirtatiousness: "You slippery little fellow, not even willing to help Elder Sister with a small favor. Must I use favor to pay it off??"


    Ye Yuan broke out in goosebumps all over and said with a smile, "This favor of Hall Master isn''t small! If my conjectures are right, there are already quite a few capital cities'' Fiend Medicine Halls that have gathered at Capone Capital City, right? The moment I start a sermon on Dao, the entire Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s Blood Yama Hall''s Fiend Medicine Halls'' strength will collectively rise a major level. How big this favor is, Hall Master is adept at this and don''t need me to calculate, right?"


    Yi Han had a bitter look on her face, looking delicate and pitiful. Truly a nuisance character.


    She heaved a sigh and said, "The news of the Blood Yama Hall is all shared. The other capital cities'' hall masters learning about your existence, they naturally won''t let me off. So many people came to find me, I can''t very well push all of them away, right? Don''t look at how Big Sister is in charge of the Blood Yama Hall, Big Sister also has times where things are difficult!"


    That expression of Yi Han made people unable to resist loving her upon seeing her, making people''s bones go soft.


    Except, if not because he could not beat her, Ye Yuan wished that he could give a tight slap!


    This woman really calculated well, wanting the horse to run and also wanting the horse to not eat grass.


    You think that by putting on an act, this little lord will promise you?


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and said indifferently, "Hall Master, kill me then. Don''t talk about this matter!"


    Yi Han''s expression instantly turned from sunny to overcast. A moment ago, she was still thinking of seducing Ye Yuan. The next instant, her face was already cold as frost.


    A piercing cold killing intent arrived with a howl, but Ye Yuan was firm as a rock and not cowed in the slightest.


    He knew that Yi Han absolutely would not kill him.


    She personally came forward and took his favor, she definitely had something to request of him.


    Sure enough, Yi Han''s killing intent quietly subsided and she said gloomily, "You punk, really impervious to everything! Speak then, what conditions do you have!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Two! The first, this is considered half a favor, realized right now! The second, a month later, you''ll gather everyone to the Blood Battle Stage, I''ll preach on Dao for half a month continuously. How much they can comprehend will depend on themselves. I don''t have time to waste on this daily. Uh �� There''s still one more, that is that whatever Blackjade Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s people, this lord won''t wait upon them! Have them scram!"


    Ye Yuan knew that wanting to use this to cash in all of the favor, Yi Han absolutely would not agree.


    Therefore, he had no choice but to go for second best, consume half a favor first before talking.


    Yi Han sighed slightly and said, "You brat, really not willing to suffer any bit of loss at all! Fine then, Big Sister will promise you."


    Finished talking, Yi Han took out the blood essence contract and slightly kneaded a seal. The blood essence in the contract began to combust.

 1505 Consequences of Offending a Master

    "Are you satisfied now? Sigh, Big Sister has never suffered such a big loss before being this hall master," Yi Han said with bitterness on her face.


    Ye Yuan did not want to get too entangled on this topic, so he said, "Lord Hall Master coming personally, you should have a notion about the other half of the favor, right?"


    Yi Han laughed, her breath smelling like orchids, as she said, "Sly and cunning, can''t hide anything from you!"


    Ye Yuan did not follow up, quietly waiting for Yi Han to continue speaking.


    "Our Blood Yama Hall discovered an ancient ruin. It''s too bad that that ruin, only those below the Fiend Lord Realm can enter. Moreover, Fiend General Realms can''t exceed 1000 years old. Fiend Commander Realm are not to exceed 3000 years old! At that time, Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s most elite juniors will gather there. Our Capone Capital City''s Fiend General Realms only have one spot. Therefore, the strongest person has to go. And that person is you!" Yi Han said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So that''s why you guided Ka Xin and my deathmatch in secret. It''s to see who has the qualifications to enter the ancient ruins?"


    Yi Han also smiled and said, "This is the world of the strong. Weaklings �� will only be eliminated!"


    When saying this, Ye Yuan finally felt that this one in front of him was a ruler who dominated a region.


    In front of her, those that had no value to be exploited could be abandoned at any time.


    He was merely a chess piece in her hands.


    Ye Yuan said without batting an eyelid, "When is it starting?"


    Yi Han said, "One year later, I''ll come and find you. You still have a lot of room for improvement in the Fiend General Realm. This period of time, set aside the matter of medicinal pills, use it on improving your strength."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, showing an expression that he understood.


    Sending away Yi Han, Ye Yuan could not help but ponder.


    This trip to the fiend race, his goal had already been achieved. Originally, he was already not planning on staying.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually attracted the attention of the Blood Yama Hall''s hall master.


    Since Yi Han chose him, his every movement and action was under her control.


    Wanting to escape from under the hands of a Fiend Lord powerhouse was virtually impossible.


    As for the blood essence contract, Ye Yuan did not think anything of it at all.


    That thing was indeed very ingenious. To others, it had a fatal binding power.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was totally useless.


    Ye Yuan had refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. Wanting to use this kind of contract power to deal with Ye Yuan was simply nothing more than wishful thinking.


    How could Ye Yuan possibly put his fate in the hands of others?


    The reason why he caused a bit of difficulty was to put on an act for Yi Han to see, let her feel that he was very apprehensive of this blood essence contract.


    Looking at it now, the effect was pretty good.


    It was just that this trip to the ancient ruins was most likely imperative.


    ...


    These few days made Kong Xiao very depressed.


    Only afterward did he learn that Wu Hao and Metalheart sent people to Capone Fiend Medicine Hall first to make a trip. They discovered that Capone Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s level was already no longer what it was long ago.


    How astute were Wu Hao and Metalheart? How could they still not know Master Source Night''s prowess?


    For half a month, these two fellows stayed at the Fiend Medicine Hall every day and did not come out.


    These two guys had clearly long known, and they actually tricked him!


    At first, Kong Xiao thought, no matter how awesome this master was, could he still not listen to the hall master?


    The matter that two great hall masters settled on was not up to Source Night to turn down.


    Who knew that when he went to request an audience with the hall master, their hall master directly said that she could not influence Master Source Night''s decision either.


    Since he offended Master Source Night, then it would depend on his fortunes.


    With this, Kong Xiao really despaired!


    An existence that even the hall master could not control, then how incredible was his alchemy skills?


    Right at this time, another heavyweight news came. Meng Qi of the Fiend Medicine Hall''s five elders successfully broke through, and he already became a Three-star Fiend Apothecary!


    This news, regardless of whether in Capone Fiend Medicine Hall or to the other capital cities'' Fiend Medicine Halls, was a heavyweight bombshell.


    Meng Qi was a veteran Two-star Fiend Apothecary and already stopped at this realm for 10 thousand years.


    If barring no accidents, he would remain at this realm in this lifetime.


    But now, he actually broke through!


    If this had nothing to do with Master Source Night, they would not believe even if they were beaten to death as well.


    Staying for a long time in Capone Capital City, some news naturally spread among the fiend apothecaries.


    Master Source Night had merely preached about the Dao for the Fiend Medicine Hall''s people for the greater part of a year.


    More than half a year''s time groomed a Three-star Fiend Apothecary?


    This Master Source Night simply transformed the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal!


    Kong Xiao regretted until his intestines were green now. Looking around as one group after another of fellow professionals arrived, he was burning with anxiety.


    This was the mission that upstairs ordered. If other people returned fully-loaded, but he returned empty-handed because he offended Master Source Night, this responsibility of his was not small.


    Seeing Ye Yuan arrive at the Fiend Medicine Hall unhurriedly, Kong Xiao immediately went up to greet him.


    "Haha, Master Source Night, you''re here," Kong Xiao bowed as he said with a fawning smile.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and walked past him expressionlessly.


    Kong Xiao knew that this round was not easy to clear. He did not mind either, following Ye Yuan into the Fiend Medicine Hall subserviently.


    "Master, that day, it was all me who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, hope that a great man like you don''t stoop to harbor grievance for past wrongs," Kong Xiao said.


    With Ye Yuan entering the Fiend Medicine Hall, there were already a lot of people waiting to request for pills.


    He came before his exclusive medicinal cauldron and said coolly, "Words that had been said before, water that had been spilled, I won''t take them back! Blackjade Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall has already been blacklisted. If they are here, everyone doesn''t need to wait here anymore in the future."


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Everyone''s gazes immediately gathered on Kong Xiao''s face.


    Kong Xiao''s expression also became extremely ugly all at once and said in a solemn voice, "Master Source Night, must you leave no room for maneuver?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "People have to pay a price for their actions. Yesterday, if I crippled you with a sword, then say sorry to you today, will you agree? Therefore, please do as you please."


    Wu Hao had already hung out with Yi Mo for quite a few days. He was already astonished by Yi Mo''s alchemy skill.


    Yi Mo''s alchemy skill, he was aware of it, just a bit worse than his.


    But now, Yi Mo''s alchemy standard already surpassed him all-round!


    This discovery made Wu Hao inexplicably shocked.


    More than half a year, Yi Mo''s strength actually had such great improvement. This was simply a joke.


    The advancement of alchemy skills, who did not grind it out using time?


    Half a year''s time, even if there was progress, it would be negligible too.


    But Yi Mo''s improvement was too obvious!


    No wonder when seeing Source Night this Three-star Fiend Apothecary, even Yi Mo, this Three-star Fiend Apothecary, was incomparably respectful.


    Now, it was his, Wu Hao''s turn, to perform!


    "Kong Xiao, not that I''m criticising you, but what you said that day was too much! Since Master Source Night said to blacklist you, could it be that you want to smack the master''s face in front of so many people? Please leave! Otherwise, you''re offending everyone present!" Wu Hao said in a solemn voice.


    Metalheart also immediately stood up and said, "Kong Xiao, please go out! Do you want to cause so many people to not see the master refine pills because of you alone?"

 1506 Not Presentable If Lower Than Heaven-Grade!

    "Yeah, it''s fine that you offended Master Source Night yourself. But don''t harm us!"


    "Quickly go, quickly go! We''ve already waited for Master Source Night for half a month. Want to die, die yourself! Don''t drag us into the water!"


    "I''m still waiting for Master Source Night to refine pills to save lives. Still not getting lost, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    ...


    At this time, inside the Fiend Medicine Hall was packed with people. Everyone all turned the spearhead at Kong Xiao.


    Kong Xiao discovered that he seemed to have become a rat crossing the street, everyone yelling to beat.


    Especially Wu Hao and Metalheart, the two people''s attitudes. It made him burn even more with rage.


    These two people wanted to step on him to get into Source Night''s good graces!


    He discovered that he really seemed to not be able to stay on anymore.


    Continue to thicken his face and stay on, he would be flayed and swallowed alive by these people.


    "The two of you, I''ve remembered you! Go then, who''s afraid of whom? Humph! I don''t believe that listening to this kid''s sermon, one can still ascend to heaven?"


    Done talking, Kong Xiao left resentfully.


    He originally thought that he was, at any rate, a Three-star Fiend Apothecary, a Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master, that Ye Yuan would more or less give some face. Who knew that this brat did not give any face at all.


    In front of so many people, this face was completely lost.


    Regarding this little interlude, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart at all.


    He had his own pride. This kind of pride was not allowed to be blasphemed.


    Since Kong Xiao desecrated his glory as an alchemist, he would have to bear the corresponding consequences.


    "Next, starting the pill refinement!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Other masters refining pills had all kinds of requirements. Ye Yuan did not.


    As long as you did not rush up to make trouble, even if you made a racket below, it was no problem too.


    This was everyone''s first time watching Master Source Night refine pills. Each and every one of them held their breaths, looking rather excited.


    Although Ye Yuan did not request for it, inside the Fiend Medicine Hall was incomparably quiet at this time. Even if a needle fell on the ground, it could be heard clearly.


    Only when Ye Yuan refinished refining the first medicinal pills did those Fiend Apothecaries abruptly wake up.


    "This �� It''s done?"


    Wu Hao blinked a few times, looking somewhat not quite daring to believe it.


    This was a low-level Two-star divine pill. The majority of the people present could refine it.


    But from the beginning of the refinement until now, merely two hours had passed!


    Wasn''t this too quick?


    Yi Mo and the rest had clearly long been accustomed to it and said smugly, "Otherwise? Do you think that I''ll call just any person my master? Ordinary Two-star divine pills, Master Source Night doesn''t take more than two hours to refine. Those a little harder wouldn''t surpass six hours either."


    Wu Hao''s eyes went wide and he said in disbelief, "No way, right? This �� This is also too exaggerated! What about the quality?"


    Yi Mo smiled and said, "Won''t you know if you take a look?"


    At this time, Ye Yuan opened the furnace, the pill formed.


    That person who requested for the pill flushed red, incomparably agitated.


    Although the medicinal pill was not out yet, he was not worried about the medicinal pill''s quality at all.


    Ye Yuan''s palm shook, the medicinal pill flew out and landed in the jade container lightly.


    The gazes of Wu Hao and the rest turned intent, looking at the medicinal pill with unbelievable shock.


    Divine-grade!


    My God, two hours to refine a divine-grade divine pill!


    Are my eyes blurry?


    It was not just him alone who was shocked. The exclamations in the hall rose one after another, clearly all being stunned by Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills.


    Ye Yuan''s pill refinement was too profound. They could not understand at all and only felt a surge of Dao accumulations revolving around the pill furnace.


    However, they could understand the medicinal pill''s grade!


    A Two-star Fiend Apothecary refined a divine-grade divine pill in two hours. This was simply inconceivable.


    Divine-grade medicinal pills were normally all high-rank Fiend Apothecaries refining low-level medicinal pills before there was a certain chance of being refined.


    Just the level of these fiend race Fiend Apothecaries, for a Three-star Fiend Apothecary to be able to refine a One-star divine pill to divine-grade, he could already burn incense and worship the Gods.


    Two-star divine-grade divine pills, one wouldn''t even think about it!


    "Divine-grade divine pill! It''s actually a divine-grade divine pill! I''ve never seen before a Two-star divine-grade divine pill in my life before!" exclaimed a Two-star Fiend Apothecary.


    Those martial artists waiting for the pill refinement gave him a glance using a look for looking at a fool, and said, "The medicinal pills that Master Source Night refines, he''s too embarrassed to present it if lower than heaven-grade. What are you all making such a big fuss for? Getting excited about a commonplace thing!"


    "Yeah! That was a Three-star Fiend Apothecary who was chased out earlier, right? That guy must be an idiot. That''s why he would offend Master Source Night! Three-star Fiend Apothecaries also have to obediently call him as a teacher when arriving in front of Master Source Night!" said another person.


    "L-Lower than heaven-grade, can''t present it?"


    The corners of that Two-star Fiend Apothecary''s mouth twitched. He had never refined heaven-grade divine pills before in this lifetime.


    No, wait, never even refined superior-grade before!


    Those Capone Fiend Medicine Hall''s Fiend Apothecaries had clearly become accustomed to this scene long ago. They did not feel that there was anything wrong.


    Rather, if Ye Yuan really refined a heaven-grade medicinal pill, only then, would they get a surprise.


    Wu Hao and Metalheart two people exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment from the other''s eyes.


    Although they had long known that Master Source Night was very impressive, being impressive to this sort of degree still made them too surprised.


    Just looking at the pill refinement process earlier, Master Source Night was a person from a completely different world than them!


    As a Three-star Fiend Apothecaries, they actually could not understand a Three-star Fiend Apothecary''s pill refinement!


    In front of Ye Yuan, they were like mortals who did not know how to cultivate, watching immortals soar into the sky and tunnel into the earth.


    Knew that the other party was impressive, but just how impressive, they could not understand at all!


    At this instant, they were extremely delighted to have drawn a clear line with Kong Xiao.


    Missing the sermon this time, they would regret it for life!


    "Next!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    That martial artist who received the medicinal pill previously expressed a thousand thanks and left. The next one brought his own spirit medicines and pill formula over.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of resting in the slightest, directly starting to refine.


    Wu Hao and the rest immediately held their breaths, watching Ye Yuan refine pills without shifting their gazes, fearing of missing any detail.


    Divine-grade!


    Divine-grade!


    Still divine-grade!


    Half a day, the people who came to watch and learn were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    Seeing the expressions on these people''s faces, Capone Fiend Medicine Hall''s fiend apothecaries all revealed an understanding slight smile on each and every one of their faces.


    Only a short while ago, they were like these people too; extremely shocked.


    But as time passed, they had long become numb.


    Master Source Night''s pill refinement level was not what they could imagine at all.


    It was precisely because of so that Capone Fiend Medicine Hall would revere Ye Yuan like a god from top to bottom.


    In the evening, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said, "Let''s call it a day here. Continue tomorrow."


    Everyone all stood up respectfully, automatically opening up a path, saluting with their eyes, seeing Ye Yuan away with their gazes.


    "Marvelous work of art! Simply a marvelous work of art! Turns out that a marvelous work of art can still be refined like this!" Wu Hao sighed with admiration.


    "This trip wasn''t in vain! This trip wasn''t in vain! This trip is really worth it! Sigh, really envious of you all, able to watch Master Source Night refine pills every day!" Metalheart said with a look of endless envy.


    "No wonder each and every one of you, your strength improved by leaps and bounds. With Master Source Night teaching, you all are killing us with envy!" said another Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master.

 1507 No Way!

    "Younger Sister Yi Han, you''re a dignified Fiend Lord powerhouse and even a Blood Yama Hall''s hall master. A puny little Two-star Fiend Apothecary, you can''t even subdue him?"


    In front of Yi Han was a man in black robes. His expression was somewhat dark, clearly very unhappy.


    Yi Han saw him getting angry, but she just smiled sweetly and said, "Big Brother Mo Han, talk is cheap! Wait until after entering the ancient ruins, you can deal with him however you like. But right now, I really can''t subdue him! Don''t you question this. This brat is clever and isn''t easy to knead. Things that he isn''t willing to do, even if you break him in half, he won''t take a step back either!"


    This Mo Han was Blackjade Capital City''s Blood Yama Hall''s hall master.


    Kong Xiao could only pass this matter for him to know through secret channels in his helplessness.


    Mo Han regarded this matter quite highly too and immediately rushed over from Blackjade Capital City.


    He knew that Blackjade Capital City had already become all of the capital cities'' laughing stock, angering him until he directly gave Kong Xiao two large slaps.


    If not looking on the account that his alchemy skills were pretty good, he would have directly eradicated Kong Xiao.


    Angry was angry, but what should be remedied ultimately had to be patched up.


    Hence, he personally found Yi Han, but who knew that Yi Han actually said that she had no way.


    A Fiend Lord powerhouse was actually powerless against a Fiend General. Wouldn''t it make people laugh their heads off if this got out?


    Mo Han said with a cold snort, "You''re powerless against him, is it? I''ll go and meet him personally. I want to see just how tough his bones are!"


    Yi Han said coolly, "If you want to pressure him with strength, I advise that you''d better not go! Putting aside whether he agrees or not, if you get on his nerves, my side isn''t easy to clean up the mess! You also know what entering the ancient ruin this time means. I don''t want him to show up for work but not exert himself after going in. You have to know, I only tethered him with the blood essence contract!"


    Mo Han''s expression was slightly dark as he said, "Your meaning is to have me go and beg him?"


    Yi Han smiled and said, "Why not? Don''t think that your status is noble. You aren''t aware that his current standing among Fiend Apothecaries, probably even you, this Blood Yama Hall Master, can''t compare too! Don''t talk about Two-star Fiend Apothecaries, even that bunch of Three-star Fiend Apothecaries all maintained manners of a student in front of him too. It is just that his current realm is still significantly lacking. When he grows up, you and I are both not enough to look at in front of him!"


    Mo Han''s gaze turned slightly intent, looking at Yi Han rather surprisedly.


    This appraisal was also a bit too high, right?


    He knew this Ye Yuan was formidable. But his understanding of Ye Yuan was all gotten from hearsay.


    Mo Han came to find Yi Han straight away. He really did not understand the situation inside the city right now.


    Could it be that this Source Night was really formidable to this kind of degree?


    "Alright then, I promise you not to overwhelm him with force! I want to take a look at just what kind of person this brat is" Mo Han said in a solemn voice.


    ...


    "No way!"


    When Ye Yuan found out Mo Han''s intention of coming, he directly threw him these two words.


    Mo Han''s expression instantly turned dark.


    This punk was also too freaking arrogant, right?


    He was an exalted Blood Yama Hall Master, a Fiend Lord Realm powerhouse, you actually did not even acknowledge me?


    Mo Han was just about to fly off the handle but saw Yi Han winking at him non-stop.


    Mo Han forcefully pressed down the anger in his heart and said, "This matter was all Kong Xiao''s fault. I''ve already severely punished him and removed his position as the hall master! Master Source Night, you''re a magnanimous person. Don''t stoop to his level."


    Although he said so verbally, a Fiend Lord powerhouse lowering his head to a Fiend General, this was simply unprecedented humiliation.


    After the matter of the ancient ruins had passed, he would definitely find a chance to deal with this brat.


    With Ye Yuan''s eyesight, how could he not perceive that the other party''s words were not sincere?


    He just said indifferently, "I have my principles. Since I said to blacklist Blackjade Capital City, I never intended to take it back. Whoever comes to plead is useless too!"


    "You!" Mo Han could not help being exasperated. This punk was also too impervious to everything.


    He, a Fiend Lord powerhouse, already put the words to this kind of extent. Ye Yuan actually did not even give face!


    "Alright, you state the terms! As long as we can let our people listen to you preach on the Dao, I''m willing to pay a certain price!" Mo Han said.


    Yi Han by the side could not help revealing a peculiar expression. Why did this sound so strange?


    A feeling of �� asking for it.


    But Mo Han himself clearly did not think so. He was currently in a fit of anger and very aggrieved, how would he think of these?


    However, Ye Yuan still said coolly, "Hall Master Mo Han, I think that you''re misunderstanding something. Even if you give me your position as hall master, I don''t care for it too. Alright, please go back."


    The Mo Han who had restrained his anger and suppressed indignation all along finally exploded.


    "Me! What a rampant punk, do you really think that this hall master doesn''t dare to do anything to you?"


    While talking, a surge of powerful pressure spread out from Mo Han, crushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Yi Han was long prepared. The power on her body suddenly released too, blocking Mo Han.


    "Brother Mo Han, too far! If you''re like this, I won''t be courteous anymore!" Yi Han said in a solemn voice.


    Mo Han said with a cold snort, "Yi Han, I''ll give you face this time! Punk, don''t land in my hands! Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!"


    Finished talking, Mo Han directly shuttled through the void, disappearing.


    Yi Han looked at Ye Yuan and could not help saying with a bitter smile, "Why did you have to do this? What''s in it for you to offend a Fiend Lord powerhouse?"


    But Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Even if the sky falls, isn''t there Hall Master Yi Han to support? I have my principles in doing things. Some things that are done, one will have to bear the consequences."


    Yi Han looked at Ye Yuan with gloomy resentfulness and said, "You brat, really making people worry!"


    ...


    A month''s time, more and more capital cities'' Fiend Apothecaries gathered in Capone Capital City.


    For some time, Capone Capital City became the holy land of Fiend Apothecaries.


    Through Capone Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s statistics, the Fiend Apothecaries that came to listen to Ye Yuan preach on Dao this time were a total of 5000 over people.


    These fiend apothecaries were subordinates of the Fiend Medicine Halls.


    The others, even Capone Capital City''s Fiend Apothecaries, did not have the qualifications to listen to Ye Yuan preach the Dao.


    Capone Capital City''s Fiend Apothecaries had long heard of Master Source Night''s great reputation.


    It was just too bad that they were not in a favorable position, and could not get the moon first too.


    How could the Fiend Medicine Hall possibly let other forces'' Fiend Apothecaries come and benefit from their own light?


    Capone Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s Fiend Apothecaries all felt honored.


    This kind of grand occasion, they had never seen before from birth until now!


    All of the Fiend Apothecaries were akin to making a pilgrimage, pouring into Capone Capital City.


    Due to overwhelming numbers, the Fiend Medicine Hall had long been unable to accommodate the Fiend Apothecaries'' observation.


    Therefore, it was stipulated later on that only the hall masters of the various capital cities'' Fiend Medicine Halls could enter inside to observe.


    Finally, it was time for the sermon on this day.


    Passing from mouth to mouth, the Fiend Apothecaries later had already long learned how terrifying Ye Yuan''s strength was from the initial-most batch of Fiend Apothecaries.


    Regarding this sermon, it could be said to be anticipated by millions.

 1508 Great Dao Heavenly Melody

    For the sake of this grand meet, the Blood Battle Stage did not scruple for a lockdown for half a month.


    Although the losses were great, Bloodeagle did not care at all!


    Ye Yuan and Ka Xin''s battle already helped him to earn three years of profit. What did a mere half a month count for?


    The Blood Battle Stage that could accommodate several tens of thousands of people. Over 5000 people sitting on it seemed somewhat empty.


    This time, on the main platform, there was only Ye Yuan''s lone solitary figure.


    But this figure was very strapping and powerful in the eyes of the group of Fiend Apothecaries.


    That was an existence that made them admire with great admiration!


    Martial artists held powerhouses in awe and veneration.


    Fiend apothecaries were respectful towards powerhouses!


    Respect from the bottom of their hearts!


    Under everyone''s watchful gazes, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth.


    "Alchemy Dao is all-encompassing, convoluted and disorderly, seeming to have a multitude of things. As long as you sort out one end of the thread, you''ll be able to reel silk from cocoons, reaching the other shore."


    "Alchemy Dao isn''t simple and inflexible pill refinement. If you all understand it as a dreary vocation, you''ll become mediocre."


    "Alchemy Dao is a Great Dao! The Dao of medicinal pills, the core lies in the medicine, and not the pill."


    "..."


    Ye Yuan''s voice rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire Blood Battle Stage.


    5000 Fiend Apothecaries were dead silent, listening like they were intoxicated.


    After reaching the Alchemy God Realm, Ye Yuan''s understanding of Alchemy Dao became even deeper.


    Talking tirelessly at this time was like chit-chatting about domestic trivialities.


    But in the other Fiend Apothecaries'' ears, each word was a gem, containing the maxim of Great Dao.


    The sermon this time, Ye Yuan did not sleep nor rest for 15 days, talking for 15 days in a row.


    To Deity Realm powerhouses, not resting for 15 days was nothing. But this kind of sermon that contained the whereabouts of Dao was extremely energy-consuming. For ordinary people to be able to last five days was already pretty good.


    Ye Yuan preaching for 15 days in one go was seldom-seen in the world.


    For the sake of the sermon this time, Ye Yuan also tidied up what he had learned since becoming an Alchemy God.


    At this time, he talked naturally and smoothly, without the slightest bit of sluggishness.


    Ye Yuan went from shallow to deep, the things that he narrated became increasingly profound.


    On the first day, everyone listened like they were filled with wisdom. Many areas of Alchemy Dao that they did not understand were enlightened all at once.


    On the second day, the things that Ye Yuan talked about became much deeper. There was already a small portion of people who felt fogged up in the clouds.


    On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day ��


    The things that Ye Yuan talked about became more and more profound. Even Three-star Fiend Apothecaries also gradually felt somewhat taxing.


    However, not a single person left.


    They knew that the things Ye Yuan talked about were extremely hard to come by. Even if they did not understand a single word, it was also an exceedingly rare experience.


    Ye Yuan was using a very superficial way to display the Dao of medicinal pills to them.


    Although they only had a hazy nothing, this kind of experience was one of a kind.


    In the past, what was in front of them was a cloud of dense fog; unable to see the direction clearly at all.


    Now, Ye Yuan helped them to push aside the dense fog, letting them go in front to look around a bit.


    This kind of opportunity, not everyone had it!


    But they did not realize that a mysterious aura was gradually filling the air around.


    This aura developed from nothing, from weak to strong.


    Gradually, they discovered that Ye Yuan''s voice became more and more distant.


    Ye Yuan was clearly speaking under the grandstand, but this voice seemingly came from the horizons.


    "This �� What''s going on?"


    "The aura of Dao! This is the aura of Great Dao!"


    "Great Dao Heavenly Melody! This must be Great Dao Heavenly Melody! Master Source Night''s sermon has already triggered the resonance of Great Dao! Right now! Every word that he says contains the Dao!"


    "Didn''t think that I could actually witness this moment! Great Dao Heavenly Melody, legend says that it was only triggered once when the Medicine Ancestor preached about the Dao back then!"


    "My God! Could it be that this world is actually going to have another Medicine Ancestor appear? Just what kind of level has Master Source Night''s Alchemy Dao Realm reached?"


    "Stop talking freaking rubbish, pay attention to the lecture! This kind of opportunity, one might not encounter once in a lifetime! We only have to comprehend a tiny bit and it will be enough to benefit for life!"


    ...


    The current Ye Yuan was already completely immersed in the ocean of Dao, his entire person in a state of emptiness.


    Preaching Dao was giving others an advancement. How was it not a kind of advancement for oneself too?


    In this half a month, Ye Yuan said his own understanding of Dao word by word. It could be said to be a summary and sublimation of his own Alchemy Dao.


    Therefore, he was enlightened!


    The doubt and puzzlement in during this period of time were brought together and understood thoroughly at this moment.


    Dustless looked at this scene with incredible shock and murmured, "It''s really Great Dao Heavenly Melody! Legends have it that back then, the Medicine Ancestor preached on Dao to a group of Eight-star Alchemy Gods. Suddenly, Great Dao resonated. Heavenly melody played, attracting the envelopment of laws. Only then did it establish the Medicine Ancestor''s name! Could it be that Ye Yuan is already the same realm as him? But he''s just Two-star Alchemy God!"


    No idea how long had passed either, everyone suddenly woke up.


    Looking at the stage again, Ye Yuan''s traces were already long gone.


    "Master Source Night already left!"


    "Mn? I feel that �� I''m going to break through!"


    "Me too! Master Source Night''s sermon made me have a feeling of being enlightened. Coupled with the Dao accumulations of the Great Dao Heavenly Melody, my realm finally loosened!"


    "Master Source Night is truly a god! Perhaps he can really become the second Medicine Ancestor!"


    ...


    Those whose alchemy realms did not improve for many years, as long as one''s talent was not too poor, it all produced a trace of insight this time.


    Even if one did not break through realm, their strength also had a massive advancement.


    These people left the Blood Battle Stage in haste, all finding a place to enter closed-seclusion.


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan was wrapped up by the boundless aura of Great Dao.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, revealing an understanding smile.


    The current Ye Yuan had already broken through his realm unknowingly, reaching grand completion Heaven Glimpse.


    "I didn''t expect that unintentionally planting a willow led to the willow becoming shade. A single sermon on the Dao could actually let me break through the shackles. Not only did I create the Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pill, it even opened the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s third level''s door!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Dustless said in surprise, "Just what realm are you right now?"


    Alchemy Dao was fleeting and ephemeral. Even comparing him with other Two-star Alchemy Gods, the disparity in strength could be very great.


    But this realm, no one had been able to differentiate it.


    Perhaps this Two-star Alchemy God could only refine one more kind of divine pill than another Two-star Alchemy God.


    But, the current Ye Yuan had clearly already surpassed knowing how to refine a few types of divine pills, this kind of category. That was why Dustless would ask this.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This �� I can''t say for sure. But I think that right now, Two-star divine pills shouldn''t pose any difficulty to me anymore?"


    Dustless'' pupils constricted, somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan''s words.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was not someone who talked through his hat, let alone a man of hubris.


    For him to dare say so, he definitely had some reliance.


    Refining Two-star divine pills would not have much difficulties. This kind of words, probably only the Medicine Ancestor, this level of existence, dared to say, right?


    "A long time ago, the Medicine Ancestor was once like you, triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody when preaching on Dao. Laws descended, him achieving the realm of half-ancestor. Could it be that you and the Medicine Ancestor are already in the same realm?" Dustless said in alarm.

 1509 Messenger From the Imperial City

    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but shook his head and said, "Although I don''t know what the situation of the Medicine Ancestor was back then, my realm is definitely far worse than him. He could attract a portion of laws to descend, but I can''t. But my current realm is still very low, many high-level Alchemy Dao laws are not yet comprehended. One day in the future, if I can step foot into the realm of Heavenly Emperor, I presume it wouldn''t be worse than the Medicine Ancestor.


    Ye Yuan had confidence beyond ordinary people in alchemy.


    Although the Medicine Ancestor was an existence that the entire Heavenspan World''s alchemists looked up to, he had confidence in being able to catch up head-on too.


    These words might be incomparably arrogant if others heard it.


    But Dustless had reason to believe that Ye Yuan had this strength and talent!


    One had to know, from when Ye Yuan entered the Heavenspan World until now, it was less than a hundred years; time.


    Being able to reach his current strength, it was simply inconceivable.


    At least, with Dustless''s horizons, apart from the Medicine Ancestor, no one could compare to Ye Yuan.


    And the matter of Ye Yuan triggering the Great Dao Heavenly Melody set off a huge storm among the Blood Yama Hall''s Fiend Apothecaries.


    "Master Source Night is really too incredible! The things that he talked about simply subverted my understanding of alchemy!"


    "Isn''t that so! I feel that my understanding in the past was too superficial. Master Source Night''s understanding of the Alchemy Dao is on a completely different level than us."


    "That''s of course. Otherwise, how would he trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody?"


    "I say, will Master Source Night become the second Medicine Ancestor or not?"


    "Heh, that''s hard to say. Medicine Ancestor, that level of existence, is simply not what you and I can imagine. Master Source Night is just a Two-star Fiend Apothecary after all. There''s still a very long road to walk. However, if he keeps maintaining momentum, I feel that it shows great promise!"


    "Shhh �� mustn''t talk about this matter anymore. Upstairs already issued a gag order. If heard, you won''t even know how you died!"


    ...


    Inside Capone Fiend Medicine Hall, two Fiend Apothecaries who had heard Ye Yuan''s sermon were discussing in whispers.


    Except, the Fiend Medicine Hall had already issued a gag order. They also could not resist the astonishment in their hearts, that was why they would discuss softly.


    Everyone was all guessing whether or not Master Source Night could reach the Medicine Ancestor''s height.


    After all, this was the second Fiend Apothecary who could trigger the Great Dao Heavenly Melody after the Dao Ancestor[1]!


    Of course, the Heavenspan World was too big. Perhaps there were still other Fiend Apothecaries who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody. But they had never heard before.


    To be able to trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody when while being a Two-star Fiend Apothecary, this was absolutely a sensational event.


    ...


    Slap!


    Slap!


    Slap!


    Inside Blackjade Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall, Mo Han gave one slap after another, slapping Kong Xiao into a pig''s head.


    When he heard this news, his entire person was about to go completely berserk.


    He could already imagine it. Blackjade Capital City''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s standard would be surpassed by all the capital cities very soon!


    "Great Dao Heavenly Melody! That''s Great Dao Heavenly Melody! Are you a pig? To actually offend a Fiend Apothecary who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody?"


    "The Two-star Fiend Apothecaries who broke through on the spot were 43 people!"


    "Half a month later, the people who broke through were 228 people!"


    "Now, there are still over a thousand people in closed-seclusion! More than 1000 people!"


    "But what about us? Not one! Not a single one!"


    "You pig, it''s fine that you lose face yourself! But you even want to cause this hall master to lose face together with you!"


    Mo Han roared at Kong Xiao, flinging one slap after another.


    The others watched this scene, all silent like cicadas in winter.


    The moment a Fiend Lord was enraged, corpses would litter a thousand miles!


    But they understood Mo Han''s anger very much. This matter, if it were them, they would also be as furious as Mo Han.


    In reality, they had long already cussed Kong Xiao''s ancestors several tens of thousand times in their hearts.


    Such a fine opportunity was actually missed just like this!


    Great Dao Heavenly Melody, missing this time, there probably would be no next time anymore.


    Mo Han was seriously too angry!


    According to the news from the Hundred Knows Hall, all who went to Capone Capital City, basically had one or two breakthroughs in every family.


    Those who did not break through, their strength made remarkable strides too.


    To be able to listen to Great Dao Heavenly Melody, even if it was a pig, it could also unlock spiritual wisdom and step onto the path of cultivation, let alone people?


    But only their household alone did not have a single person present!


    The initiator of all this was Kong Xiao.


    How could Mo Han not be furious?


    Finally, Mo Han''s anger subsided.


    "Purplecloud, from today onwards, you''re the Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master! Kong Xiao will be degraded to a medicine slave from today onwards, and locked in the dungeons to refine pills for 3000 years!"


    Finished talking, Mo Han gave a cold snort and disappeared.


    Purplecloud was a Three-star Fiend Apothecary too, but his strength was much worse than Kong Xiao''s.


    He also did not expect that happiness came so suddenly.


    Demoted to be a medicine slave for 3000 years, Kong Xiao basically did not have a day to hold his head up high anymore.


    ...


    Two months'' time had passed in a blink from Ye Yuan''s sermon.


    During this period, Ye Yuan had been in closed-seclusion cultivating the whole time.


    Triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody this time, the others had all rode on his coattails. The benefits that he obtained naturally need not be mentioned.


    The melody of Great Dao needed time to slowly digest.


    Two months later, Capone Capital City welcomed a very distinguished guest.


    "I pay respects to Lord Heavenstar!"


    Yi Han gave a deep bow to this old man in front of her, her words filled with respect.


    "Huhu, oh, Yi Han, this time, you''ve made great contributions this time!" Heavenstar said with a beam.


    Heavenstar, was Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s Blood Yama Hall''s Four-star high-rank Fiend Apothecary, a nine-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouse. His status was very venerated,


    Yi Han smiled and said, "Yi Han doesn''t dare to claim any credit.


    Heavenstar smiled and said, "Heh, if there''s merit, there''s merit. Learning the humans'' pretense for what? I really didn''t expect that the tiny little Capone Capital City could actually give birth to a Fiend Apothecary who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody! This boy must be controlled by my Blood Yama Hall!"


    Yi Han nodded and said, "Lord Heavenstar rest assured. After the ancient ruin, I''ll personally escort him to the imperial city."


    But Heavenstar shook his head and said, "Hey, such a prodigy, how can you detain him over? Got to make him willingly serve our Blood Yama Hall!"


    Yi Han''s brows furrowed slightly and said, "This �� is probably very difficult! Lord Heavenstar doesn''t know this. Yi Han used the blood essence contract before barely managing to tie him onto the Blood Yama Hall, this boat. This boy is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. It''s likely very hard for him to submit wholeheartedly."


    But Heavenstar did not care and said with a broad smile, "How can a genius who can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody not be arrogant at heart and haughty in manner? Only people who are capable have the right to be arrogant! This seat naturally knows that you can''t subdue him, that''s why I came personally! You bring him over, don''t startle anyone. This matter, the hall master has already issued a gag order. Other factions are absolutely not permitted to know."


    Although the matter of Ye Yuan triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody was sensational, it was also limited to within the Blood Yama Hall''s boundary.


    The sermon was conducted at the Blood Battle Stage. It was too easy for the Blood Yama Hall to seal off the news.


    The Blood Yama Hall did not need to block all of the news. They just needed to seal off the news about the Great Dao Heavenly Melody, this incident, and that would do.


    Ye Yuan''s alchemy skill being formidable was already not a secret in Capone Capital City long ago.


    [1] This sentence is weird. Firstly, I think the author made a mistake and mistyped Medicine Ancestor as Dao Ancestor. Second, this sentence insinuates that the first person who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody was a fiend. I think the author made a mistake.

 1510 Blood Soul Curse

    "You''re Source Night?"


    Heavenstar sized Ye Yuan up and could not help being somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan''s good looks.


    He actually did not look like a fiend.


    However, the pure fiend energy on Ye Yuan''s body made him unable to find any fault.


    "I pay respects to Senior Heavenstar!"


    Ye Yuan''s attitude was neither obsequious nor haughty. He was not especially respectful toward Heavenstar even though the latter was a Four-star Fiend Apothecary.


    He had long considered the consequences of the Great Dao Heavenly Melody. There was no way Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s Blood Yama Hall headquarters would watch a genius like him slip by their side.


    In reality, Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would trigger the Great Dao Heavenly Melody. Otherwise, he absolutely would not display it in front of people.


    If this kind of thing was known by others, it was impressive, but it was very easy to attract a fatal calamity too.


    Heavenstar coming to Capone Capital City could only have one purpose, that was to have him join the Blood Yama Hall!


    A Fiend Apothecary capable of triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody, his significance to the Blood Yama Hall was absolutely extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan had long considered this result and also knew that if he did not agree, there was only one outcome.


    That was death!


    The Blood Yama Hall absolutely would not allow him to join other forces, then become their enemy.


    But Ye Yuan could not be too deliberate either.


    Geniuses needed to have the awareness of geniuses.


    Arrogance was a natural attribute of geniuses.


    Even though Ye Yuan was not haughty, in front of Heavenstar, he must show arrogance.


    An alchemy genius capable of triggering Great Dao Heavenly Dao not being haughty at all, this did not conform to common sense. The other party would definitely be suspicious.


    Hence, his attitude was lukewarm toward Heavenstar.


    Of course, in Ye Yuan''s heart, he did not have much veneration towards this so-called Four-star Fiend Apothecary.


    He triggered Great Dao Heavenly Melody. Now, he already saw a world that others could not see.


    "Hahaha, indeed, the young are to be feared! Everyone says that my fiend race''s Fiend Apothecaries'' level is too poor and can''t groom powerful Fiend Apothecaries at all! Now, those people can all shut up!" Heavenstar said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan objected incessantly in his heart. Just the standard of your fiend race''s Fiend Apothecaries, it was simply too unsightly to look at. You actually still wanted to groom a powerful Fiend Apothecary?


    This Heavenstar was known as a Four-star high-level Fiend Apothecary. But Ye Yuan assumed that his standard was also not very high.


    Compared to the human race''s Four-star Alchemy Gods, it was probably far off.


    "The strength of Fiend Apothecaries still need to depend on the person, nothing to do with the race." Although disdainful in his heart, Ye Yuan still had a proud appearance.


    Heavenstar did not mind either, chuckling and saying, "Sit down and talk. Come and sample the Bloodgod Tea that this old man brought. This thing, ordinary people can''t drink it!"


    As he said, Heavenstar pushed a pot of tea in front of Ye Yuan. Fragrance immediately overflowed.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the blood-like tea and did not detect anything strange.


    But right at this time, Dustless warned, "Ye Yuan, this guy wants to put the Blood Soul Curse on you."


    "Blood Soul Curse?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    After Ye Yuan entered this room, he looked very conceited on the surface. Actually, he was very vigilant inwardly.


    Except, he did not detect anything strange.


    "The Blood Soul Curse is a very sinister and profound method of the fiend race. It doesn''t belong to the category of medicinal pills. Hence, you''re unable to detect it too. See those lanterns with varying different shapes in the corners of the house?" Dustless asked.


    Ye Yuan glimpsed with his peripherals. Sure enough, he discovered that each corner of the room had a bizarre shaped lamp.


    The fiend race''s preferences were very different from the human race to begin with. So Ye Yuan did not think too much either.


    He did not expect that a profound mystery was actually hidden in these lamps.


    Ye Yuan secretly thought what a close call. If not for Dustless being around, he would likely really fall for it this time.


    "Saw it. What''s wrong with these lamps?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Dustless said, "These lamps have a name. They are called Soul Refining Lamps. The wicks of Soul Refining Lamps are refined with countless people''s tendons. The refiner imprisons living souls in the wick of the lamps, incinerating with endless fire, tempering these living souls, making these living souls billow with monstrous resent. But on the surface, one can''t tell at all. Don''t talk about humans, even the fiend race themselves, if they didn''t understand this Dao, they can''t perceive the actual situation too."


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath. This method was a little too cruel.


    Members of the fiend race were indeed all vicious and cold-hearted people!


    Back then, the fiend race also used similar methods to collect sanguine power, and also went on a massacre.


    "Then what does this Blood Soul Curse have to do with the Bloodgod Tea?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "The Bloodgod Tea is indeed a rare spirit tea of the fiend race. It can help them increase fiend essence, matching the result of medicinal pills. It''s just that this Bloodgod Tea is a crucial link of the Blood Soul Curse. It is the prelude to launching the Blood Soul Curse! Bloodgod Tea is grown by watering with those living souls'' blood. Once you drink the Bloodgod Tea, those living souls suppressed in the lamp wicks will collectively unleash the power of the curse, making you get hit by the Blood Soul Curse! People who get hit with the curse don''t have the slightest feeling. But once someone activates the Blood Soul Curse, you''ll suffer the torment of the soul being devoured, experiencing a fate worse than death! It looks like they want to use this method to control you!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan''s heart sunk. He did not expect that this Heavenstar actually set up such a trap for him. His wrath rose with a whoosh.


    This Blood Yama Hall was indeed well-deserving of being a mysterious underground force, an existence even more horrifying than the City Lord Manor.


    He did not provoke anyone and they actually used this kind of insidious method to deal with him.


    "Senior, do you have a way to deal with this Blood Soul Curse? If I don''t drink this pot of tea, that old thing probably won''t let it go!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan felt a headache too. He did not expect that preaching on the Dao actually caused such a major trouble.


    He broke through the Alchemy Dao shackles because of preaching on Dao, but he also attract massive trouble because of preaching on the Dao.


    It was really misfortune goes hand-in-hand with fortune!


    But Dustless smiled and said, "Did you forget what kind of existence I am? The Soul Suppressing Pearl is the ancestor of Soul Dao. Unless a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse comes personally, otherwise, how can a measly Blood Soul Curse harm you? Moreover, I have a secret art that can absorb the power of the curse and feed it back to the Soul Suppressing Pearl! You just drink the Bloodgod Tea. Leave the rest to me."


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan''s heart was put back in place.


    He smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.


    Seeing this scene, the corners of Heavenstar''s mouth revealed a smile of his wicked scheme succeeding.


    "How''s the taste?" Heavenstar said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and was full of praises, "Good tea! Refreshing the mind and actually has the effect of increasing fiend essence!"


    Heavenstar laughed out loud and said, "Haha, if you like, I still have some here. I''ll give them to you."


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "How can this do? Such a grade of spirit tea, it must be very precious, right? Source Night cannot receive benefits without sowing anything!"


    Heavenstar pressed him down and said with a smile, "Younger Brother Source Night, I''ll call you as my younger brother. You''re a clever person and should have guessed this old man''s intention of coming, right? My Blood Yama Hall''s strength is powerful until you can''t imagine it. With your talent, there''s only joining our Blood Yama Hall that can let you radiate splendor!"


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a surprised expression and said with a smile, "Senior Heavenstar is very kind. It''s just that �� Source Night still doesn''t plan on joining any faction for the time being."


    Heavenstar was not surprised either and said very meaningfully, "Don''t be in a hurry to reject, you go back and consider it first. Perhaps �� you''ll have a change of heart?"

 1511 I Have Yielded

    After Ye Yuan left, Yi Han''s figure appeared.


    "Lord Heavenstar, I didn''t expect that you actually employed the Blood Soul Curse!" Yi Han said with some surprise.


    The Blood Soul Curse was extremely powerful. Even if it was a Fiend Lord powerhouse, once succumbed, they would wish that they were dead too, without any room to resist.


    Using it to deal with Ye Yuan was simply using a butcher''s knife to kill a chicken.


    Moreover, the materials to prepare the Blood Soul Curse originally needed to expend a lot of manpower and material resources before it can be successfully refined.


    Just a pot of Bloodgod Tea was a priceless treasure.


    Even the Blood Yama Hall would rarely use it too.


    Blood Soul Curse was normally in order to deal with some very troublesome characters.


    Heavenstar smiled faintly and said, "Using the Blood Soul Curse to deal with a major figure who might become the Medicine Ancestor, it''s definitely worthwhile!"


    Yi Han was still rather worried as she said, "This kid is someone who would rather break than bend. Is the Blood Soul Curse really effective?"


    Heavenstar laughed loudly and said, "Effective? Take away the question mark! There was once a half-step Fiend King''s existence. After falling under the Blood Soul Curse, he laid prone in front of Lord Hall Master like a dog, begging for mercy. This kid is merely a Fiend General. Do you think it will be effective or not?"


    Yi Han''s gaze turned intent, clearly incomparably shocked.


    Half-step Fiend King, what kind of powerful existence was that?


    In front of the Blood Soul Curse, he actually did not have any ability to resist at all!


    Yi Han only knew that the Blood Soul Curse was powerful, but did not know how powerful the Blood Soul Curse was.


    The example that Heavenstar gave let her have an intuitive understanding.


    Heavenstar continued, "The Blood Soul Curse won''t kill. But the curse power of countless resentful souls, that agony of the soul being devoured, no matter how powerful the person''s mind, they can''t withstand it too. Tonight, let this boy experience it a little. I think that he''ll take the initiative to come and find me very soon, hahaha ��"


    Talking about the exciting part, Heavenstar could not refrain from letting out a big laugh.


    For the Blood Yama Hall to be able to solicit an alchemy genius who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody, how could Heavenstar not be happy?


    "But, does he know that we''re playing tricks?" Yi Han asked.


    "Heh, although this boy is stubborn and unruly, he''s incredibly smart! As long as he gets hit by the Blood Soul Curse, he''ll know that it''s definitely related to us," Heavenstar said.


    ...


    It was nighttime. Ye Yuan continued to meditate and visualize in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, deducing the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s third level cultivation method.


    Suddenly, the Soul Suppressing Pearl in his sea of consciousness moved strangely.


    "Heh, indeed came! That old punk thinks of himself to be clever, but he doesn''t know that it became a wedding gift for this old man!"


    Dustless laughed coldly. The Soul Suppressing Pearl exited Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness silently and suspended on top of his head.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl emitted rays of dark-red light, appearing very strange.


    But inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl, Dustless started chortling with laughter, "The soul force curse of the Blood Soul Curse is simply a great tonic! With this soul force curse, I should be able to recover to Tier 3!"


    Ye Yuan was still immersed in the visualization and was completely oblivious to the outside world''s events.


    Dustless told him not to bother about anything and just care about cultivating.


    Amidst the dark-red light, the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s aura became stronger and stronger.


    Dustless''s entire person was also coiled up by the dark-red light, his entire person looking seemingly somewhat strange and demonic.


    But his aura gradually became stronger.


    In the secret room, sweat gradually seeped out on Heavenstar''s forehead.


    "This brat is also too able to hold out, to actually still not yield until now!"


    Activating the Blood Soul Curse had to use one''s soul force as a guide to lead the resentment in the Soul Refining Lamps out.


    The person being cast on naturally would not give in obediently. The other party would definitely use their soul force to resist the power of the curse.


    When the other party utterly gave up resisting, Heavenstar would be much more relaxed and not need to expend so much soul force.


    Heavenstar completely did not think that a puny little Fiend General could actually resist for so long.


    How could he know that his opponent was not Ye Yuan at all, but an old monster who had lived for goodness knows how long.


    Furthermore, this old monster was even the Blood Soul Curse''s jinx.


    The current Dustless was simply feeling way too good.


    While Ye Yuan was currently immersed in creating the cultivation method and unable to extricate himself.


    "Indeed worthy of being a genius able to trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody. This willpower, this soul force, it''s not what a Fiend General should have at all," Heavenstar also secretly praised.


    Finally, Heavenstar felt the soul force ease up. Clearly, the other party had given up resisting.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Heavenstar''s mouth and he said, "Heh, even if your talent is outstanding, under the Blood Soul Curse, you can only submit obediently too! Forget it, I will only torture you for two hours tonight. If you don''t come tomorrow, I''ll continue again tomorrow!"


    Two hours later, Heavenstar withdrew the technique contentedly.


    In his mind, after Ye Yuan was brought to the limits, he should be lying prone on the ground right now, without any strength at all.


    The second night, Heavenstar expended a Herculean effort again before ''settling'' Ye Yuan.


    Five days passed consecutively, even Heavenstar himself felt like it was a little more than he could bite off. But he still did not see Ye Yuan coming over to submit.


    But Yi Han was somewhat anxious already and said to Heavenstar, "Lord Heavenstar, could this boy have played some trick and didn''t get hit by the Blood Soul Curse at all?"


    Heavenstar''s face fell and he said, "Nonsense! This old man watched him drink the Bloodgod Tea with my own eyes. Could it be that a puny little Fiend General can play sleight of hand in front of me?"


    Yi Han thought about it and also felt that it was not too likely.


    But a measly little Fiend General was actually able to hold out for five days. This made the two of them feel unimaginably queer.


    "I don''t mean that. What I meant was ��"


    "No need to say anymore! This boy can trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody, he can''t be judged with common sense in the first place. Tonight, I''ll increase the Blood Soul Curse''s power, let him know what''s truly called agonizing until he wished he was dead! I don''t believe that he can still not yield!" Heavenstar said in a cold voice.


    But inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl''s space, Dustless had a satisfied look.


    Absorbing the soul force curse these few nights already let him recover to the state of Tier 3.


    "Gui Yun, advantages can''t be taken up by me alone. Today, your turn. This power of curse is similarly a great tonic to you. One night should be enough for you to break through to Three-star!" Dustless said with a hearty laugh.


    Gui Yun''s strength had long reached peak Two-star already.


    Now, with Dustless''s help, breaking through to Three-star was something that would happen without extra effort.


    The moment Gui Yun heard, he was overjoyed and said, "Many thanks, Senior!"


    Dustless smiled and said, "Still saying this to me for what? It''s here! You prepare yourself, assault Three-star!"


    ...


    Another full night passed, even with Heavenstar''s soul force, he was somewhat collapsing too.


    But it was also precisely because of this that he was even more confident in Ye Yuan''s prospects.


    A genius with hopes of reaching the Medicine Ancestor''s heights was naturally extraordinary!


    The second day morning, Ye Yuan withdrew from within the World Suppressing Stele''s space.


    "Master!" Gui Yun bowed down to Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "You broke through?"


    Gui Yun also smiled and said, "All thanks to Senior Dustless. Last night, I borrowed the power of the curse and successfully broke through to Three-star!"


    Ye Yuan laughed out loud when he heard that and said, "This old man really gave us a big gift! Uh, it''s time to go and ''yield''. Otherwise, that old boy will probably go crazy!"

 1512 Fiend Lord Mystic Treasure!

    In front of Heavenstar, Ye Yuan''s expression was weary, his complexion pale, looking like he had a serious illness.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s state, he was very satisfied.


    Of course, he was also not much better than Ye Yuan.


    He was almost squeezed dry by Dustless and Gui Yun two people these few days.


    Although Heavenstar''s soul force was strong, it could not withstand the Soul Suppressing Pearl, this grade of empyrean spirit treasure''s extraction.


    "Senior Heavenstar, the matter that you said a few days ago, I''ve considered it. I''ve decided to join the Blood Yama Hall!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Haha, he who understands the times is a wise man! Younger Brother Source Night, your future accomplishments are unimaginable. Joining our Blood Yama Hall is absolutely a correct choice! This trip, I''ll enter the mystic realm together with you all. After you come out from the mystic realm, I''ll bring you straight to the imperial city!" Heavenstar said with a laugh.


    "Senior, arrange as you wish."


    The current Ye Yuan seemingly lost all of his edge, becoming very docile.


    Just putting on an act doesn''t take a great effort anyway.


    As long as you are happy.


    Heavenstar only represented Eminent Orchid Blood Yama Hall''s hall master to come and subdue Ye Yuan. He really did not dare to offend too much.


    Ye Yuan was bound to be an existence lording over him in the future.


    Offending now, it would be hard to avoid squaring of accounts after the autumn harvest.


    On the contrary, he even had to think of ways to dispel the unhappiness in Ye Yuan''s heart for a period of time in the days to come.


    Otherwise, if Ye Yuan stacked the deck against him in the future, that would be bad.


    Besides, establishing a relationship with such a genius had tremendous help to him too.


    Therefore, that was why he would call Ye Yuan as his younger brother again and again, sounding very cordial.


    "Haha, Younger Brother Source Night, really sorry about it. It''s truly that the hall master loves talent. But we also know that you won''t give in obediently, that''s why we would come up with this plan. You rest assured, as long as you join the Blood Yama Hall, the incidents these few days absolutely won''t happen again." Heavenstar''s words carried an ingratiating intent.


    But Ye Yuan did not appreciate it at all and said with a displeased look, "Senior is too kind, Source Night dares not!"


    Said he dare not, but that expression was an unhappy face.


    Heavenstar secretly cursed and said with a laugh, "Oh, Younger Brother, don''t have this expression! This medicinal cauldron, Elder Brother, I, have used for ten thousand years. You shouldn''t have a convenient medicinal cauldron currently yet, right? Elder Brother will give it to you!"


    A tiny little medicinal cauldron appeared on Heavenstar''s palm, then rapidly enlarged, and landed on the ground.


    An incomparably profound aura filled the room.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, "Could this be �� a fiend lord mystic treasure?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Heavenstar finally let out a sigh in relief.


    As expected, to Fiend Apothecaries, a medicinal cauldron was an irresistible temptation!


    Gifting away a fiend lord mystic treasure was also a massive hemorrhage to Heavenstar.


    Mystic treasures were higher-order existences than celestial deity divine artifacts!


    Those suitable for Divine Lord Realm martial artists to use were divine lord mystic treasures.


    Those suitable for Celestial Deity Realm martial artists to use were called celestial deity mystic treasures, so on and so forth.


    It was just that, the human race called it divine lord mystic treasure, and the fiend race called it fiend lord mystic treasure.


    The naming was different, but the function was largely the same.


    It was just that the fiend race''s fiend lord mystic treasures were a little more suitable for the fiend race.


    The technique for forging a mystic treasure was extremely complicated. A Four-star Artifact God might not be able to craft a fiend lord mystic treasure even by spending several thousand years.


    Hence, each fiend lord mystic treasure was incomparably precious.


    To a martial artist, a mystic treasure was a tremendous allure.


    Not every Divine Lord Realm martial artist could own a divine lord mystic treasure.


    Such as Yi Han, Mo Han, these hall masters, even though they were Fiend Lord powerhouses, they did not have fiend lord mystic treasures in their hands at all.


    When the Yi Han by the side saw this scene, she made no effort to conceal her envy at all.


    Her eyeballs almost popped out.


    She had already become a Fiend Lord powerhouse for 20 thousand years but did not even have a single fiend lord mystic treasure.


    Ye Yuan was great, a puny little Fiend General actually had a fiend lord mystic treasure.


    Lord Heavenstar really made a big move!


    "Huhu, Younger Brother Source Night indeed has good eyesight! It''s called Profound Yellow Cauldron, a low-grade fiend lord mystic treasure. It has already followed me for 50 thousand years, today �� I''ll give it to Younger Brother. Just take it as making an apology!" Heavenstar looked very generous as he said this.


    Luckily, Hall Master promised that as long as I bring Source Night back, he''ll award me a middle-grade fiend lord mystic treasure. Otherwise, I''d really can''t bear to give the Profound Yellow Cauldron to people with both hands just like this. Heavenstar secretly thought.


    Even so, for Heavenstar to be able to gift the Profound Yellow Cauldron to Ye Yuan, he had made a huge resolve too.


    Who would mind having too many mystic treasures?


    Ye Yuan was also greatly surprised in his heart, not expecting that he would have such a harvest.


    This Heavenstar was really a wealthy person. He had already expended soul force to gift Dustless and Gui Yun with breakthroughs.


    Now, he actually gave him a fiend lord mystic treasure too!


    Tsk tsk, really generous when making his move!


    Ye Yuan gave Heavenstar a suspicious glance and said, "Really giving to me?"


    Heavenstar smiled and said, "Can this still be fake? How is it? Realised Elder Brother''s sincerity, right? Planting the Blood Soul Curse on you was truly no choice. It''s really that we''re eager and love talents! I''ve already removed the ownership, the Profound Yellow Cauldron is a masterless-item now. You just have to nurture it with fiend soul sanctification and it''s yours!"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Alright then, since Senior Heavenstar is so sincere, Source Night naturally can''t put on airs anymore. This Profound Yellow Cauldron, I''ll accept it. Our matter is written off!"


    The moment Heavenstar heard, he could not help being overjoyed and said with a big laugh, "Haha, Younger Brother is indeed forthright! In the future, when you reach Eminent Orchid Imperial City, whatever things that you can''t settle, feel free to tell me. Elder Brother still has some face in Eminent Orchid Imperial City."


    Ye Yuan smiled as he clasped his hands and said, "Then Source Night will thank Senior first."


    ...


    Returning to the Fan Family, after Ye Yuan had the Profound Yellow Cauldron acknowledge a master, he tried refining a few medicinal pills. The more he used, the more he liked it.


    "Tsk tsk, indeed well-deserving of being a fiend lord mystic treasure, to actually have the effect of strengthening divine fire. Refining pills in the future won''t need to find them to borrow divine fire each time anymore."


    "This pill refining efficiency also increased significantly! Now, when I refine ordinary Two-star divine pills, it only needs less than an hour."


    "Mn? What''s this?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that inside the Profound Yellow Cauldron formed its own space. Inside had two wisps of auras circulating erratically. They were very mysterious.


    "That''s a wisp of Profound yellow energy!" Dustless said.


    "Profound yellow energy?" Ye Yuan was puzzled. Clearly, he had never heard of this name before.


    "When Divine Lord Realm opens up a world, it will birth this profound yellow energy! Profound as heaven, yellow as earth. Inside this Profound Yellow Cauldron incorporates a trace of profound yellow energy. Each time you refine pills, it will be equivalent to your Great Dao pill refinement in the past," Divine Lord Realm explained.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. Back then, he refined pills with Great Dao, refining the Dao Defying Pill. That scene was still fresh in his mind.


    The might of heaven and earth to refine pills was absolutely extraordinary.


    "Indeed worthy of being a fiend lord mystic treasure. This is undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger to me!" Ye Yuan said, being satisfied.


    Dustless laughed loudly and said, "Heavenstar this old punk used all sorts of intrigues and wiles, but gave you wedding dresses everywhere. When he discovers that it''s drawing water with a sieve; all for naught, wonder what kind of expression he''ll have, hahaha ��"

 1513 Heading for the Ancient Ruins

    Outside the Fan Family''s front door, Fan Lin, Fan Yu, and Li Ji were all sending Ye Yuan off.


    "Family Head, please go back! This period of time, many thanks for Family Head''s care," Ye Yuan said with cupped fists.


    Fan Lin hurriedly smiled fawningly and said, "What''s Master Source Night saying? It''s my Fan Family that benefited from you!"


    These few years, the Fan Family could be said to be like the noonday sun, their limelight even pushing down the City Lord Manor''s.


    Seizing this opportunity, the Fan Family expanded its forces without restraint and obtained tremendous benefits.


    Furthermore, the Fan Family already faintly had the momentum of Capone''s number one clan because of coming into contact with the Blood Yama Hall, this leviathan.


    Fan Lin understood in his heart and all of this was thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Family Head is too courteous. Taking the king''s salary, sharing the king''s burden. Since I''m a retainer of the Fan Family, I naturally have to contribute to the Fan Family."


    Fan Lin smiled and said, "This Fan knows that the Fan Family''s bit of salary, Master holds it in contempt. For Master to be able to keep on staying in the Fan Family, this Fan is endlessly grateful! Li Ji, Master Source Night is leaving. Why aren''t you sending him off?"


    As he said, he winked desperately at Li Ji.


    Learning the news that Ye Yuan was leaving, Li Ji''s entire person was listless, dispirited these few days.


    Her heart was long dedicated to Ye Yuan, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan became an existence that she looked up too.


    The gulf between the two became bigger and bigger.


    Now, Ye Yuan was about to leave straight away, Li Ji''s entire person was flustered.


    "S-Source Night, have �� have a pleasant journey."


    Holding in for a long time, Li Ji only squeezed out this one sentence.


    Suddenly, she discovered that there was already no common language with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Li Ji, take care. Mountains and water will meet, perhaps we''ll still meet again. Alright, it''s getting late. Source Night will take his leave."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Long Zhan and turned around and left.


    With his current status, bringing away a slave was naturally nothing.


    Li Ji looked at Ye Yuan''s back view foolishly, a row of clear years quietly falling.


    Fan Lin looked at this scene and said with a sigh, "My good daughter, you''re a person from a completely different world from him. He''s like the sun in the sky, blinding until people can''t open their eyes, while we''re destined to be ordinary."


    Although the matter of the Great Dao Heavenly Melody did not leak out, for him to be able to preach on Dao for several hundred capital cities'' alchemy elites, this kind of strength was simply inconceivable.


    The imperial city was Ye Yuan''s stage to display his talents.


    ...


    "Haha, Younger Brother Source Night actually didn''t bring that lass from the Fan Family, very surprising!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Heavenstar went up to welcome with a big laugh.


    Li Ji and Ye Yuan''s ambiguous relationship, Heavenstar was naturally aware.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan would bring along Li Ji. After all, that little girl was indeed alluring.


    "Huhu, to me, cultivation is the most important thing. Others will only distract me," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Heavenstar could not help being secretly shocked when he heard. For Ye Yuan to be able to have such accomplishments at a young age, what he relied on was not just talent!


    According to his understanding, Ye Yuan indeed secluded himself all year round. The majority of the time was used on cultivation.


    "Haha, Younger Brother really makes me perspire in shame! No wonder Younger Brother can achieve such accomplishments at a young age!"


    Ye Yuan smiled. Suddenly, he discovered that Heavenstar''s attire was somewhat weird. It was a servant''s attire.


    Furthermore, Heavenstar concealed his aura. One could not tell the actual situation from the exterior at all.


    "Ye Yuan Heavenstar, you''re ��" Ye Yuan wondered.


    Heavenstar smiled and said, "Although the ancient ruins trip this time is led by our Blood Yama Hall, dragons and fishes are jumbled up together. There are forces from everywhere. Your existence is of great significance to our Blood Yama Hall. If we let them know that I personally went into action, it will surely arouse a lot of speculations."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization.


    Yi Han did not scruple to let him finish off Ka Xin in order to pick him out.


    The ones entering the ruins this time were definitely the various major capital cities'' top geniuses.


    The lousiest were probably also Ka Xin''s level.


    There were even quite a number of geniuses who were probably already Fiend Commander Realm.


    For this, the Blood Yama Hall probably also used up quite a few favors.


    Expending such a great cost, seemed like the ancient ruins this time were extraordinary!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Let''s go then. Long Zhan, you go to the imperial city first and help me clean up a bit."


    Long Zhan bowed and said, "Yes, Master."


    The current Long Zhan already broke through the bottleneck, becoming an Origin Deity powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not let Long Zhan really go to Eminent Orchid Imperial City. These words were just in order to set Heavenstar''s mind at ease.


    He already instructed Long Zhan to make a detour to Tiderain City halfway and wait for him.


    Ye Yuan would go and meet up with him after shaking off Heavenstar and Yi Han, these two troubles.


    Sure enough, when Heavenstar heard Ye Yuan''s words, he revealed a look of relief.


    Long Zhan was just a slave, he naturally would not put him in his sights.


    What was important was Ye Yuan''s attitude.


    Looks like the Profound Yellow Cauldron really had a considerable effect. Ye Yuan seemed to have already accepted the fact of joining the Blood Yama Hall.


    After Long Zhan left, the party boarded the flying boat.


    Ye Yuan was also alarmed by the Blood Yama Hall''s strength, one mystic treasure after another.


    This flying boat was a middle-grade fiend lord mystic treasure. When flying, it had the effect of shuttling through space, its speed extremely fast.


    Along the way, Heavenstar fawned on Ye Yuan in every possible way. How was there any airs of a Fiend Lord?


    Ye Yuan naturally could not hide his inadequacies by keeping too quiet as well. Occasionally giving Heavenstar a pointer could make him happy for half a day.


    Although Heavenstar''s realm was high, in terms of foundation skills solidness, Ye Yuan flung him more than ten streets behind.


    Just like that, the three people rode the flying boat for more than half a month before arriving where the ruins were located.


    The ruins were near Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s west side''s Trace Light City. The date was approaching, the various major capital cities'' elites were also hurrying on the way.


    When the three people arrived at the vicinity of the ruins, a large group of people already gathered here.


    The three people''s arrival did not cause too big of a disturbance.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance, his gaze suddenly stopping on a group of people in the middle.


    Six young men, gazes sharp, auras extraordinary. One look and obviously they were experts.


    Seemingly sensing Ye Yuan''s gaze, those six people actually collectively looked over at Ye Yuan.


    But after they discovered that Ye Yuan was only grand completion Fiend General Realm, they immediately lost interest, all going to do what they should be doing.


    Those six people were all initial-rank Fiend Commanders. Clearly, their strength was very powerful.


    "What keen perception. I merely swept a glance and they noticed me," Ye Yuan was secretly shocked.


    "Those six people are conferred as Eminent Orchid Six Sons. Their strength looks down on everyone among Eminent Orchid Imperial City''s young generation. They are the same as Ka Xin, all killing their way out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. But they are stronger than Ka Xin!" Yi Han said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So that''s how it is. An imperial city''s resources are indeed not what a capital city can compare to."


    Although Ka Xin was formidable, when placed in the imperial city, it was not quite enough to look at.


    Right now, there were roughly one to two hundred young geniuses present. Each one of these people was not inferior to Ka Xin.


    "Yo, isn''t this our Master Source Night? Tsk tsk, both an alchemy genius and also a martial arts genius. It really makes people admire him! Azure Phoenix, if you were to encounter Master Source Night, you have to greet him properly!"

 1514 Purple Extreme Sec

    Mo Han directly blocked the three people''s path. Beside him even tagged along a youngster with bright eyes and refined features.


    Ye Yuan briefly sized up this Azure Phoenix and discovered that this person''s gaze was deep and unusually calm. Clearly, he was not a simple person.


    Yi Han''s brows furrowed and she said with a cold snort, "Mo Han, what do you mean?"


    Mo Han''s eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "No meaning. Master Source Night gained face for me, so I got to give back a little. Don''t you think so?"


    Toward Ye Yuan, Mo Han was currently extremely resentful.


    He already became all of the Blood Yama Hall''s hall masters'' joke right now.


    Just earlier, he was even mocked by people.


    However, if he was mocked, he was mocked. He could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all.


    Mo Han was not a fool. He knew that Ye Yuan would definitely get the headquarters'' heavy emphasis.


    After all, an alchemy genius capable of triggering the Great Dao Heavenly Melody was seriously too rare.


    But before this, he still had to win back a bit of ground. Otherwise, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in his heart.


    The news of Heavenstar coming to find Ye Yuan, only Yi Han alone knew.


    Now, Heavenstar changed his looks and hid his aura, Following by Yi Han''s side, he looked just like an old servant. Mo Han did not recognize him at all.


    Ye Yuan gave Mo Han a glance and said coolly, "Whatever tricks there are, feel free to use them!"


    But Mo Han grinned and said, "Heh, still so arrogant! What''s competed inside this ruins isn''t alchemy, but martial arts! Do you think that by winning Ka Xin, that kind of weakling, you''re invincible under the heavens? Even if you''re a genius, if you perish inside the ruins, then you aren''t a genius no more!"


    These words were a blatant threat.


    "Humph! Hall Master Mo Han is really so awe-inspiring! You even dare to scheme against a person that headquarters want?" A thunderous voice entered his eyes.


    Mo Han''s brows furrowed when he heard that and was just about to fly off the handle. Suddenly, he discovered that a pale-blue flame danced on the fingertips of that old man behind Yi Han.


    His gaze turned sharp, immediately recognizing this flame.


    This pale-blue flame was called Cerulean Heavenly Fire, the divine fire of the imperial city''s Fiend Medicine Hall''s Elder Heavenstar.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    This old man was actually Elder Heavenstar coming in person!


    Mo Han panicked and was just about to bow when Heavenstar transmitted his voice once more, "Hush up, good that you know! This old man''s trip is confidential. If you dare to call it out, be careful of your little life! Also, you''d best warn the people you brought. If they dare to touch Ye Yuan, you know the consequences!"


    Mo Han sweat profusely, frightened until his soul left his body.


    Hr originally thought that he could borrow the opportunity of the ruins this time to deal with Ye Yuan up well, but he did not expect that upstairs moved so quickly. They actually already sent Elder Heavenstar over!


    "Haha, Young Sister Yi Han came huh! Master Source Night!"


    "Younger Sister Yi Han, you came so slow!"


    "Younger Sister Yi Han, Master Source Night, our Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall master even made me pass on a message, insisting on thanking you all."


    ...


    At this time, there were also quite a few people who noticed Yi Han two people. Those hall masters all came up to greet.


    When Mo Han saw this scene, it was like he was granted amnesty, retreating to one side obediently. How could he still dare to speak?


    Even though the matter of Ye Yuan triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody could not be said to the outside world, the matter of him preaching on Dao was not considered a secret.


    Those hall masters coming up to greet was also something within reason.


    Except, these geniuses were all mostly kept in a dark, not knowing what was going on at all.


    A large group of Fiend Lord powerhouses was actually so polite to a Fiend General. It frightened them badly.


    "Who is that kid? His strength is so weak, but he can actually make so many important people go up to say hello."


    "More than say hello, why do I feel that �� the hall masters are currying favor with him?"


    "Could it be that this kid''s strength already surpassed us? This �� isn''t possible, right?"


    "Bullshit! What do you guys know? That kid is a Fiend Apothecary. Heard that his alchemy strength is extremely formidable. The last time at Capone Capital City, he preached on Dao for quite a few Fiend Medicine Hall''s hall masters!"


    "What?! A Two-star Fiend Apothecary preaching on Dao for Fiend Medicine Halls'' hall masters? This �� No wonder these hall masters have this attitude."


    ...


    The geniuses all gathered around and started gossiping about Ye Yuan''s origins.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s ''details'' were figured out clearly by them.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was an alchemy expert, they lost interest in Ye Yuan.


    How much threat could an alchemy expert Fiend General pose to them?


    At this time, a wave of fiendish energy surged. A powerful aura descended from the sky.


    "Elder Di En!" The group of hall masters bowed.


    Clearly, this Lord Di En''s position in the Blood Yama Hall was extremely high.


    Di En''s gaze swept over Heavenstar there and he opened his mouth to say indifferently, "The time has arrived. Now, I''m going to activate the ruins. Those who can enter and clear it in the end will have generous rewards! But all of the rewards inside these ruins all belong to my Blood Yama Hall! Whoever dares to pocket it will become enemies with my Blood Yama Hall!"


    Talking to the back, Di En seethed with killing intent, making all of the geniuses'' hearts turn cold.


    Ye Yuan was also surprised when he heard it. It seemed like the rewards inside these ruins were quite generous!


    Di En reached his hand out and waved. A thousand milky-white stones suspended in the air.


    He formed a seal. A thousand milky-white stones emitted a dazzling light, shooting straight at the door of the ruins.


    "It''s middle-grade fiend essence stones! My god, 1000 middle-grade fiend essence stones! The Blood Yama Hall is so extravagant!"


    "Looks like this ruin is indeed extraordinary!"


    "No wonder the Blood Yama Hall expended such a great price to bring us over. Looks like the rewards inside this ruin are huge!"


    ...


    Those 1000 milky-white stones were a higher level existence than low-grade fiend essence stones. They were middle-grade fiend essence stones!


    One piece of middle-grade fiend essence stone was equivalent to 10 thousand pieces of low-grade fiend essence stones. That was something used by Fiend Lord and above powerhouses.


    In capital cities, this level of city, it was extremely rare for middle-grade fiend essence stones to appear.


    Middle-grade fiend essence stones were very precious and tend to have demand, but no market.


    Di En''s opening move was a thousand pieces. It was truly extravagant.


    Rumble ��


    The stone door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black cave.


    "Younger Brother Source Night, after going in, take good care. If you see that the matter can''t be done, just directly give up. You have to know, your life is more important than the treasures inside the ruins," Heavenstar transmitted his voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Brother, rest assured. I won''t treat my life as a joke."


    "Everyone, all go in then! After entering, you all will naturally know what you should do," Di En said coolly.


    When the geniuses heard that, they did not hesitate either, directly entering in a single line, disappearing into the cave.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and was actually directly transported away.


    When he appeared again, he already arrived inside a vast hall.


    And he actually appeared on a ring


    Looking again, Ye Yuan discovered that there were actually 12 arenas in the hall.


    And he just happened to occupy one.


    Same as Ye Yuan, there were 11 others standing on the rings, appearing somewhat at a loss.


    "Welcome to the Purple Extreme Sect''s land of inheritance!" An archaic voice echoed out inside the hall.

 1515 Soft Persimmons Need to Have the Awareness of Soft Persimmons

    "Purple Extreme Sect? What''s that?"


    "Never heard of it before! Does the Heavenspan World have sects, this sort of thing?"


    "These ancient ruins are so strange!"


    ...


    The Heavenspan World did not have sect forces at all.


    All of the forces were all under the control of cities, making clear distinctions.


    Now, a Purple Extreme Sect suddenly appeared, surprising the group of geniuses greatly.


    But that voice clearly did not care what everyone thought and continued on its own. "The ones occupying the 12 arenas are arena lords. The others each have one chance to challenge. The one who wins is the arena lord, the loser will be eliminated. Now, you all can freely pick your opponent. The 12 people remaining on the rings in the end will get the Purple Extreme Sect''s generous rewards."


    The moment the voice faded, a din immediately broke out in the hall.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Quite a number of martial artists reacted very quickly, all scrambling after one another, flying up toward Ye Yuan''s ring.


    In a blink, 20 martial artists arrived on Ye Yuan''s ring.


    Bang!


    When the number of people on Ye Yuan''s ring reached 24, the martial artist at the back seemed to have directly hit a wall. He was ejected out far away.


    "Ouch!"


    Miserable screams echoed together.


    Seeing this scene, the others could not help being secretly regretful and angry.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s arena was already full. It was already too late for others to want to go up.


    Ye Yuan was clearly the only soft persimmon in the 12 arenas, the easiest to knead.


    While the rest were at least all half-step Fiend Commander Realm.


    Wanting to win would probably still have to expend some effort.


    "Sigh, those tortoise grandsons really know how to take advantage of this! In this blink of an eye, they filled the ring!"


    "Just this one soft persimmon, looks like it won''t be our turn to knead!"


    "Looks like this arena is the best in standing out."


    "Mustn''t run into the Eminent Orchid Six Sons, otherwise �� dead for sure!"


    ...


    Below the arenas were animated discussions. Clearly, they were quite unhappy with the current situation.


    While at this time, the Eminent Orchid Six Sons also each chose a ring and slowly stepped up.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one shrunk back at the sight of it.


    Among the people present, there were a total of eight Fiend Commander Realms.


    These eight people had a tacit understanding, each choosing a ring.


    Therefore, the other three arenas became very popular.


    It was only to see figures swarming over toward those three rings one after another inside the hall.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The remaining people even came to blows in order to fight for these three rings.


    For a moment, spiritual energy crisscrossed inside the hall, tremors intense.


    Very soon, amidst a series of screams, those three rings were also filled.


    The remainder people wailed all round.


    These eight rings were without the least bit of suspense. It would definitely be those Fiend Commander powerhouses who win in the end!


    Hence, some people started to be reluctant to go up the rings.


    "ARGH!!"


    Suddenly, a scream came over. A black horrifying flame suddenly burst out on the body of a half-step Fiend Commander genius martial artist.


    In a blink of an eye, that person was burned into nothingness!


    "It''s the blood essence contract activating! This �� We must go up the ring to fight!"


    "This �� How to fight still? The Eminent Orchid Six Sons, we''re definitely not a match!"


    "Forget it, isn''t it just a loss? Fight it out!"


    ...


    Once these people shrink back, it would be equivalent to breaking the blood essence contract.


    Once the blood essence contract had a backlash, their outcome would still be death.


    Hence, everyone already had no way out and could only choose a corresponding ring.


    After everyone had chosen, that old voice sounded out once again.


    "Very soon, the arena competition adopts a one-versus-one format. The challengers challenge the arena lords in proper sequence according to the order of getting on the ring. The final victor will enter the next round of challenge! Now, the challenge begins."


    "Hahaha �� Everyone, this rookie, I, Bu Zhe, will accept first!"


    The first martial artist who got on the ring laughed his head off. Clearly, he was very satisfied with him picking up a bargain.


    When the others saw this scene, they could not help gnashing their teeth in hatred.


    "This guy''s reaction is really fast. He picked up a huge bargain."


    "Humph! Being smug for what? It''s still uncertain who can laugh until the end!"


    "Despicable person intoxicated by success!"


    ...


    Facing the indignant voices of the rest, Bu Zhe did not care in the slightest. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said with a smile, "Master Source Night, is it? This place isn''t a pill refining room. Wonder why you ran here to join in the excitement. But since you came, it''s also giving this young master a big gift. Haha, this young master will kindly accept it."


    Ye Yuan looked at him like he was looking at a fool and said coolly, "Looks like you all treat me as a soft persimmon, everyone wants a squeeze, right?"


    Bu Zhe laughed and said, "Isn''t that so? Soft persimmons need to have the awareness of soft persimmons."


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a sneer, "What you said is very right, soft persimmons need to have the awareness of soft persimmons!"


    "Hahaha, since you already have the awareness, then ��"


    Bang!


    Bu Zhe was just laughing wildly when he suddenly screamed, the laughter abruptly stopping, directly being ejected out of the ring.


    "Already said that the challenge started, to actually still be in the mood to laugh," Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    "Hahaha!"


    A wave of loud guffaws came over. When the remaining 23 people saw this scene, they all laughed their heads off.


    Getting on the ring and still so careless, served him right to directly be eliminated.


    Bu Zhe crawled to his feet with a grunt, blushing until his entire face was red as he pointed at Ye Yuan and let loose a torrent of abuse. "Despicable villain, to actually sneak attack! If you have the ability, let''s have an open and aboveboard battle!"


    Ye Yuan nonchalantly swept a glance over him and said, "Fool!"


    "You! Who are you scolding a fool?!" Bu Zhe said furiously.


    "Scolding you, a fool! Don''t even know this?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    "Hahaha!"


    Another wave of roaring laughter.


    Bu Zhe was angered until he was about to explode. He roared furiously and said, "Brat, I want to fight you again!"


    Done talking, Bu Zhe''s figure moved, speeding over towards the ring.


    Bang!


    A streak of light flashed across. Bu Zhe was directly bounced flying out far away.


    Clearly, the ring already did not give him the chance anymore.


    "Next!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    The second young genius who got on the ring looked at Ye Yuan with a sympathetic gaze and said mockingly, "I won''t ��"


    Bang!


    He wanted to say that he wouldn''t be like Bu Zhe, making this kind of low-level mistake!


    But he was the same as Bu Zhe, directly flying out of the ring before saying finish his words.


    Everyone''s gaze turned intent, finally discovering that something was not quite right.


    This ''soft persimmon'' seemed to be somewhat hard!


    Ye Yuan''s attack earlier was inconceivably fast. They actually did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move.


    Those two earlier losing were not because Ye Yuan making sneak attacks at all.


    But that they could not react to the attacks at all!


    Those able to come here were all geniuses among geniuses, all clever people.


    One could still say to be a fluke. Two �� was definitely not a fluke anymore.


    "Next!"


    Right then, Ye Yuan''s voice was akin to a death-hastening talisman, sounded out in their ears.

 1516 The Strongest 18

    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    ...


    One figure flew down the ring after another. The faces of the people at the back got uglier and uglier.


    How was this a soft persimmon? This was clearly a bulldozer!


    These peak geniuses did not have any strength to retaliate in front of Ye Yuan at all.


    Ye Yuan was able to kill Ka Xin, this level of genius, when he had just become a high-rank Fiend General.


    Now, he already broke through to grand completion Fiend General. Regardless of whether it was realm or power of laws, they were much stronger.


    If he faced-off with Ka Xin again, Ye Yuan would absolutely be able to hang the other party up and beat him up.


    Even if these capital cities'' geniuses were more powerful than Ka Xin, they were also not that more powerful. How could they be Ye Yuan''s match?


    Furthermore, those who rushed over to Ye Yuan''s side were mostly not confident in their own strength, people who wanted to take advantage of the moment.


    Who knew that they kicked an iron plate.


    "Hey, you guys, look. Is my eyesight failing? That alchemy genius''s martial prowess is actually so strong!"


    "Holy sh*t! Crushing an opponent with one move! I can''t even see him make his move clearly at all!"


    "Luckily, I was a tad slower just now. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be any hope at all now."


    ...


    The other arenas'' people suddenly discovered that their side had not fought two matches yet and Ye Yuan''s side already had half the people go down.


    This speed was a little too fast.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan cleaned up the people on the ring while the other arenas were only just starting.


    "Tsk tsk, didn''t expect that the spot of an arena lord was so easy," Ye Yuan smacked his hands and said emotionally.


    "Puhwark!"


    When the people on the other rings heard this, they nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Their side fought for their lives, but Ye Yuan were exceptionally good, to actually already sweep away his opponents.


    The Eminent Orchid Six Sons also revealed visible changes in countenance. Clearly, this Source Night''s strength greatly exceeded their imaginations.


    "Congratulations, No. 3 ring''s arena lord is born. Obtained the Purple Extreme Sect''s reward, Void Jade Saturn Peach."


    A bright red Saturn peach landed from the void, landing in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Ye Yuan looked at the Saturn peach brimming with spiritual energy, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "Senior, have you seen this thing before?" Ye Yuan asked Dustless.


    "Never seen before! I believe this Void Jade Saturn Peach is likely an extremely rare item." Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan could not help being secretly astonished. With Dustless''s experience and knowledge, he actually did not even see this Void Jade Saturn Peach before!


    No wonder the Blood Yama Hall expended such a great price to let them come to this ancient ruin.


    It seemed like the good things here were quite a few!


    With Ye Yuan''s understanding of spirit medicines, this Void Jade Saturn Peach was absolutely a good stuff worth several cities.


    The Eminent Orchid Six Sons'' strength was indeed powerful. They also smoothly took the titles of arena lord without the slightest effort.


    Time slowly trickled by. The other five platforms also respectively gave birth to their arena lords.


    Each arena lord obtained a reward belonging to themselves, so on and so forth.


    Ye Yuan noticed that these reward items, most of them, he had not heard before. Even Dustless completely did not recognize too.


    But without fail, they were all good things!


    At this time, that old voice sounded out again.


    "Congratulations to the 12 arena lords. Now, the real test begins! Starting from now, you guys will be facing the real test! Your opponents are the Purple Extreme Sect''s strongest 18 young powerhouses throughout the ages! Every six opponents that you all defeat, you''ll obtain a corresponding reward. Work hard, youngsters!"


    The 12 people on the rings all revealed solemn looks.


    Although they did not know what kind of existence this Purple Extreme Sect was, even the Blood Yama Hall, this kind of titan, could not do anything about it, and could only clear the hurdles honestly and in earnest. It showed that this sect''s strength was definitely very strong.


    The strength of 18 of the young generation''s strongest people likely could not be underestimated!


    Suddenly, 12 beams of light shone down from the sky of the hall.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he was transported into a region of space again.


    A ray of light flashed by, a young man appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan revealed a surprised look. This was his opponent?


    Looking at the other party, there was flesh and blood, could he be a living person still?


    "No need to be so surprised, we''ve long turned to dust already. Right now, we''re merely a projection." The other party seemed to have seen through Ye Yuan''s thoughts and prompted with a smile.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said in surprise, "This projection �� is also too lifelike, right? Moreover �� you actually still have consciousness!"


    An ancient era''s projection could actually communicate with him!


    The other party smiled and said, "This land of inheritance has a trace of our divine sense attached, so we''re naturally able to communicate. Your cultivation speed is very fast. 100 years or so bone age, furthermore, you started cultivating from a small world''s mortal. To actually be able to reach such heights, truly remarkable."


    Ye Yuan was greatly alarmed in his heart. His exact details were actually seen inside out by the other party!


    When the other party saw Ye Yuan''s expression, he said, "You don''t need to be shocked. When you were transported here, you''ve already been thoroughly checked by the land of inheritance. It''s not strange that I know these."


    Ye Yuan came to a realization and said, "So that''s how it is!"


    The other party said, "I''m called Mei Fang, you?"


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "I''m Ye Yuan!"


    Mei Fang nodded and said, "Fighting with you, I''m somewhat winning unscrupulously. But �� I have no command over myself too. Begin then!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Please!"


    Mei Fang''s brows knitted slightly and he said, "You''re not making a move?"


    He discovered that Ye Yuan was still standing with his hands clasped behind his back and did not have the intention of making a move at all.


    This was also looking down on people too much.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior should have heard before, formless beats having moves."


    Mei Fang''s eyes lit up and he laughed loudly and said, "Good, good, truly, the young are to be feared! Then I''ll have a taste of your formless beats having moves! This is my self-created sword move, Literature 36 Swords. You be careful!"


    "Drawing the Sword and Seeing Nothing but Emptiness All Round!"


    Mei Fang''s sword was full of heroic spirit, profligate and unrestrained.


    The power of laws already reached late-stage Sword Dao third-layered heaven, the power extremely daunting.


    Even though he had only half-step Origin Deity strength, he was one of the most powerful opponents that Ye Yuan had encountered!


    Similarly being at the half-step Origin Deity Realm, this Mei Fang''s strength was more than ten times stronger than Ka Xin!


    Right then, Ye Yuan made a move.


    "Shatter!"


    Ye Yuan''s sword carried an incomparably bizarre power of laws, directly blocking Mei Fang''s sword.


    Mei Fang''s gaze turned intent, revealing a look of great astonishment.


    This sword move of Ye Yuan looked plain and ordinary, but the move directly attacked the place where he was the most vulnerable.


    "Good sword! Flashing Tiger and Dragon Divine Sword Soars!"


    Mei Fang yelled out, his move changing. The power of laws suddenly changed dramatically.


    He changed moves fast, Ye Yuan was likewise not slow!


    It was only to see the tip of Ye Yuan''s sword reverse, stabbing over like a shadow following.


    Ye Yuan did not know that their 12 people''s battle situation was all being projected on the rings at this time.


    Those eliminated genius martial artists took their every move and action into their sights.


    The moment the battle began, those geniuses emitted a series of exclamations.


    "Di Fan is so strong! Indeed well-deserving of being the head of the Eminent Orchid Six Sons! He only used ten moves to finish off his opponent!"


    "The Eminent Orchid Six Sons are the Eminent Orchid Six Sons, too strong! The slowest only used 20 moves too."


    "Heh, even though that Source Night became an arena lord, his strength is indeed the weakest! A hundred moves had already passed, he actually still hasn''t finished off his opponent yet."

 1517 Theres Something Shady

    "I lost! Junior, you''re very strong!" Mei Fang said sincerely.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is very strong too! Your sword art gave me great inspiration."


    Mei Fang laughed loudly and said, "Actually, you could defeat me in one move, but you tangled with me for 500 over moves. It''s in order to glean the strength of my sword art, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not deny it.


    Even though Mei Fang''s strength was much stronger than Ka Xin, Ye Yuan could defeat him in one move by unleashing Daybreak.


    The current Ye Yuan, it was already very hard to find an opponent within Heaven Glimpse Realm anymore.


    "Huhu, what a fine formless beats having moves! Your sword art might be able to reach the acme of perfection! Alright, you''ve already passed the level and can go to your next opponent there."


    Outside, when everyone saw that Ye Yuan finally defeated the first opponent, they could not help revealing a mocking look.


    Especially Bu Zhe, he said with a mocking face, "Heh, so what if he became the arena lord? Isn''t he still a supporting character?"


    "Haha �� Bu Zhe, don''t say that the grapes are sour because you can''t eat them. He has at any rate gotten the arena lord''s reward too."


    "However, he indeed can only be at the bottom of the barrel too. With his strength, it''s likely very hard to even pass the second round."


    "These 18 people are called the strongest, they look like they are so-so. Di Fan already defeated three people, reckon that a few hundred six people isn''t hard."


    ...


    At this time, the Di Fan who was known as the Eminent Orchid Six Sons'' number one person already won against three people in a row and was currently in a fierce battle with the fourth person.


    But the Di Fan at this time clearly already could not be like the start, only using ten moves to defeat his opponent.


    Their opponents were all half-step Fiend Commander Realm without exception.


    Clearly, Di Fan the six of them were already straining more and more.


    Bang!


    An arena lord was directly smashed into pieces by his opponent!


    This crowd of geniuses was all taken aback with fright. Only then did they know that this round did not seem so easy.


    A single mishap and it was life-threatening!


    The other three arena''s arena lords'' strengths were clearly much weaker.


    He only held on to the second round and was directly slaughtered by his opponent without even having a chance to admit defeat.


    Seeing this scene, Bu Zhe looked even smugger as he said, "You all guess, will that punk called Source Night be directly killed?"


    "Haha, this is very likely! It was already so grueling for him in the first round, being killed in the second round is also something very normal." Someone immediately concurred.


    The others already secretly nodded their heads, clearly not having objections towards this claim.


    However, Ye Yuan disappointed them.


    Even though Ye Yuan still cleared the second round strenuously, after 300 moves, Ye Yuan still passed the level.


    "F*ck me, is there a mistake? Can even pass like this, this guy is also too freaking lucky!" Bu Zhe stomped his feet in anger.


    Although the rest would not be like Bu Zhe, they were clearly all very surprised by Ye Yuan''s clearing of the round.


    "Quickly look! Ba Tu lost! My God, just how strong are these round guardians, to actually be able to jump realms to battle!" suddenly, someone exclaimed.


    Swoosh!


    Ba Tu was directly transported back.


    Coming down from the ring, Ba Tu''s expression was very ugly.


    As one of the Eminent Orchid Six Sons, his strength virtually overlooked everyone.


    Now, he actually lost to a half-step Fiend Commander!


    It had always been him jumping realms to challenge others. Today, he was actually overstepped by others.


    Even though this was a young genius from goodness knows how many years ago.


    "Ba Tu, are these round guardians really so strong?" Someone plucked up his nerves and asked.


    When they looked at the projections on the rings, they could only see both parties'' moves and not the undulation of laws. It was very hard to perceive the actual situation.


    Ba Tu''s face was sullen as he nodded and said, "Very strong! Their power of laws basically all reached late-stage third-layered heaven, even grand completion realm. Furthermore, their application of laws at least reached the point of unity of mind. Coupled with that their martial techniques are extremely powerful, their overall strength is very powerful! It isn''t unjust for me to be defeated in their hands!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone drew a cold breath. Only then did they have a clear understanding of their round guardians'' strength.


    Before long, there were another two Eminent Orchid Six Sons who were defeated in the fifth round.


    Now, among the ones still persisting in clearing this level, only four people left.


    Three Eminent Orchid Six Sons as well as �� Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s progress speed was very slow. Everyone already lost interest.


    Everyone''s gaze was focused on Di Fan.


    At this time, Di Fan was currently in a fierce battle with the sixth round''s guardian. The two people were practically already rampaging, fighting until heaven and earth dimmed.


    "If not for seeing with my own eyes, I really don''t dare to believe that there''s actually a half-step Fiend Commander who can force Di Fan to such an extent!"


    "Yeah. I didn''t expect that the ancient era''s powerhouses were actually powerful to such an extent!"


    "This is just the sixth person! How terrifying must the 18th person be?"


    ...


    Even though there were no violent law fluctuations, just relying on the projections, they could already feel the intensity of the battle situation.


    Boom!


    Finally, Di Fan found an opening, blowing his opponent up with one punch!


    "No. 1 arena lord, cleared the sixth round, obtained a low-grade divine lord mystic treasure!" That old voice sounded out once more.


    The moment everyone heard, their faces all revealed incomparably heated gazes.


    Divine lord mystic treasure, which was also fiend lord mystic treasure!


    That was something that only Fiend Lord powerhouses had the qualifications to use!


    Even though this fiend lord mystic treasure ultimately had to be given to the Blood Yama Hall, the Blood Yama Hall would definitely give a considerable reward.


    In the projection, Di Fan had a proud look.


    Clearly, he was also fully satisfied and content with defeating this sixth round guardian.


    "Di Fan is indeed worthy of being the six sons'' number one, his strength is too strong!"


    "Di Fan already passed the sixth round, wonder how many people he can still beat."


    "I estimate, he can at least clear until the ninth round!"


    "You all look! That kid �� That kid ��"


    Suddenly, someone cried out in shock.


    Ba Tu saw that Di Fan obtained a fiend lord mystic treasure and was currently not happy. The moment someone cried out, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Making an unnecessary fuss for what?"


    "That kid called Source Night actually cleared to the fifth round!"


    That person cried out as if seeing something beyond comprehension.


    Ba Tu''s face fell. Looking towards the number three arena, he discovered that Ye Yuan had indeed cleared to the fifth round!


    Everyone turned pale with shock. They were all paying attention to Di Fan wholeheartedly but did not expect that Ye Yuan actually cleared until the fifth round unknowingly.


    Ba Tu was defeated in the fifth round. Ye Yuan making it to the fifth round, didn''t it mean that he was already very close to his strength?


    You got to be kidding!


    A rookie who did not even reach half-step Fiend Commander was actually about the same strength as him?


    "Is there a mistake?! With this kid''s realm, how can he possibly make it to the fifth round?"


    "Yeah! Ba Tu was so strong and only made it to the fifth round. I don''t believe that his strength is even stronger than Ba Tu''s!"


    "There''s something shady! There must be an inside story! This Source Night''s opponent definitely isn''t as strong as Ba Tu they all!"


    ...


    The group of people immediately exploded.


    They were unable to accept this face. Even Ba Tu''s strength only made it to the fifth round. What right did Ye Yuan''s bit of strength have to make it to the fifth round?


    He was clearly very strained during the first round!


    Hearing these people''s words, Ba Tu felt a little better in his heart and said coolly, "Relax, he definitely can''t pass the fifth round."

 1518 Somethings Wrong!

    No one was clearer than Ba Tu about the fifth guardian''s strength.


    If Ye Yuan could even pass through the fifth round, then he would really have to suspect that there was something shady.


    At this time, Di Fan was currently resting, preparing to continue challenging.


    After each round passed, that space would automatically help the martial artist recover their strength. It only took around a quarter of an hour and the challenger would be at a peak state.


    While the other two of the Eminent Orchid Six Sons were currently in fierce battles with the sixth guardians.


    It seemed like it was somewhat taxing.


    At this time, the two defeated Eminent Orchid Six Sons were also transported back. Seeing that Ba Tu was already defeated, they could not help being somewhat surprised.


    "Ba Tu, you were actually defeated so quickly?" one of them asked.


    Ba Tu''s strength ranked in the middle among the few of them. Logically speaking, he would not lose so quickly.


    Ba Tu nodded and said, "I was too eager to win. A careless move and I was defeated. However, even if I try harder, it''s useless too. I can''t pass the sixth round no matter what."


    Those two people nodded their heads, indicating agreement.


    Suddenly, they glimpsed with their peripherals, their faces revealed a shocked look.


    "This kid actually made it to the fifth round? Is there a mistake?"


    Ba Tu said, "I also can''t make head nor tail of it. Just now, when everyone was watching Di Fan clearing the sixth round, this kid made it to the fifth round bafflingly."


    The two people were speechless.


    Didn''t this mean that Ye Yuan''s strength was around the same as them?


    While at this time, Ye Yuan already faced-off with the fifth round''s guardian.


    Everyone all stared at the No.3 arena without shifting their eyes, wanting to see what capability Ye Yuan had, to actually be able to make it to the fifth round.


    Ye Yuan still had that unhurried appearance, tangling in battle with his opponent.


    Under the opponent''s fierce attacks, Ye Yuan seemed to be somewhat straining.


    But Ye Yuan was very stubborn. Each time, he could turn peril into safety.


    "Something''s wrong! I remember that when this kid was in the first round, he was this half-dead manner. Why is he still like this when he made it to the fifth round?" Bu Zhe suddenly said.


    He discovered to his shock, Ye Yuan''s current battle did not seem to be any different from when in the first round.


    It was as if his opponents did not become strong at all.


    This discovery immediately got many people''s acknowledgment.


    "Yeah, he was also being overwhelmed at the first round. After five to six hundred moves, he won without rhyme or reason."


    "The second round seemed to be like this too! Could it be �� that there''s really something shady?"


    "Rubbish. This ancient ruins, it''s everyone''s first time entering. What shady deal can there be?"


    ...


    Just as everyone was talking all at once, Ye Yuan''s sword passed through his opponent''s chest bizarrely.


    Ye Yuan won!


    The hall was dead silent. Everyone all looked at this scene in disbelief.


    How could it be like this?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s strength already surpassed the Eminent Orchid Six Sons?


    This �� This was also too fake, right?


    "F*cking hell, there must be something wrong here! This kid''s opponent definitely isn''t as strong as ours!" Ba Tu said with an indignant look.


    The other two people also had glassy looks and said in disbelief, "There must be something wrong here! They also said earlier, this kid has always been half-dead like this. Yet, he could clear the round each time! If there''s nothing wrong, I''ll wring my head off for him to kick like a ball."


    Whoosh!


    A streak of cold light flashed by. One of the Eminent Orchid Six Sons, his head directly flew out, his fiend soul also ground into pieces.


    "The Purple Extreme Sect treats all challengers equally without discrimination. Those who question, dies!"


    The old voice sounded out once more. It was just that this time, it was unusually cold.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter. No one dared to question whether there was something shady anymore.


    But, for Ye Yuan to clear five rounds, this result, they still felt that it was unbelievable.


    They could not see it. Clearing five rounds in a row, Ye Yuan''s sword art became even more erratic.


    Only his opponents could distinctly sense his power.


    Ye Yuan discovered that these ancient era young geniuses were really incomparably powerful.


    Their application of laws surpassed Ye Yuan''s imaginations.


    From them, Ye Yuan learned many things.


    Learning now and selling now, Ye Yuan discovered that his drawing parallels from inference, his comprehension toward spatial laws became increasingly deeper.


    Spatial laws were one of the highest-ranking laws, and also one of the hardest laws to comprehend that the Heavenspan World universally acknowledged.


    The Heavenspan World''s spatial laws were on a completely different level from a small world''s.


    Even grand completion Origin Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to fly, this in itself indicated many problems.


    Only by reaching half-step Divine Lord Realm could one touch the threshold of spatial laws, achieving the goal of temporary flight from there.


    Ye Yuan''s Chasing Moon, Daybreak, these two moves, after incorporating spatial laws, it made his sword moves become erratic, the power unimaginable.


    This was not purely comprehending spatial laws, but the spatial laws which Ye Yuan comprehended through Sword Dao could integrate with Ye Yuan''s sword moves perfectly.


    One would never know where Ye Yuan''s sword would appear or when it would appear.


    "Congratulations to the no. 3 arena lord for defeating the sixth opponent. Obtained a low-grade divine lord mystic treasure."


    This voice sounded out, making everyone trembled all over.


    Cleared the sixth round �� just like this?


    "A-Are you kidding me? Could it be that this guy has no limits?"


    "Really seeing ghosts! Just what trick is this kid playing? Why does it feel like he''s going to lose every time, but win in the end?"


    Ba Tu had a sullen look and said, "If his opponent has no problems, then there''s only one explanation."


    The moment these words came out, everyone all perked their ears and listened attentively.


    Ba Tu paused for a bit and said, "He''s totally hiding his strength!"


    "Hiding his strength? He''s clearly a grand completion Fiend General!"


    "Heh, can realm illustrate anything? When I was at half-step Fiend Commander, I could completely hang you up and pummel you!" Ba Tu said with a cold sneer.


    That person did not say anything. He was unable to refute these words.


    "Mn, this way, it also makes sense. The strength that he displayed in the ring previously was already very strong; practically crushing others with one move, unable to see his depths at all." another Eminent Orchid Six Sons said.


    Ba Tu nodded and said, "He wouldn''t be deliberately acting for us to see. I reckon that �� he deliberately slowed down the pace. He''s probably comprehending those ancient geniuses'' martial techniques!"


    "This �� This is also too freakish, right? Such a strong opponent, he actually still has the mood to learn his opponents'' martial techniques?"


    Everyone drew a cold breath, frightened looks showing on their faces.


    How incredible the nerves for one to dare do such a thing?


    "Very likely! If I didn''t come out and see these projections, I wouldn''t even know that the situation inside could actually be seen! There''s no way he''s deliberately concealing his strength!" said another one of the six sons, agreeing with this.


    Right at this time, Di Fan defeated the seventh round''s guardian, successfully clearing the round.


    "Hahaha �� this challenge is really interesting! So many powerful opponents, it''s still my first time encountering such situation! Feels so good! Defeating seven people, my strength improved a step further! The next opponent will likely make my hot blood boil with excitement even more! Those guys have probably all lost already, right?" Di Fan said with a loud laugh.

 1519 Catching up From Behind!

    The seventh round''s opponent was clearly much stronger than the previous six rounds.


    But Ye Yuan himself similarly made great strides in strength and did not feel too great a difficulty.


    Pfft!


    After several hundred moves, Ye Yuan''s sword passed right through the opponent''s body.


    Seventh round, cleared!


    Ye Yuan''s sword art became more and more erratic. His entire being gave people an illusionary and ephemeral feeling.


    At times, Ye Yuan''s sword was clearly still very far away but suddenly appeared in front of his opponent. It was impossible to guard against.


    And all these were attributed to his comprehension of spatial laws.


    Two great laws combining together was not a simple one plus one equals two.


    "Heh, I didn''t expect that you already comprehended spatial laws at just Heaven Glimpse Realm. Really an unexpected surprise!" Dustless said with a laugh.


    "Roughly what is the level of my spatial laws comprehension currently?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    He could sense that spatial laws were too extensive and profound, far more difficult than Sword Dao.


    These few days, he cultivated inside the Death Cultivation Space. Coupled with the closed seclusion this time, his improvement was already very big. But he still did not feel the bottleneck of the law.


    The more it was like so, the more Ye Yuan felt the difficulty of spatial laws.


    "You''re still early! Your current level isn''t even grand completion for spatial laws first-layered heaven initial-stage!" Dustless said.


    "So weak huh!" Ye Yuan said speechlessly.


    "Weak? Heh heh, right now, your comprehensions in spatial laws are already stronger than the vast majority of half-step Divine Lords! Even if it''s a true Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, he''s also merely able to use spatial laws first-layered heaven. Spatial laws aren''t as simple as you think."


    Ye Yuan could not help being very surprised when he heard. Him comprehending spatial laws was entirely because he drew parallels from inference.


    Just how powerful this law was, he was utterly clueless.


    Now, hearing Dustless said so, only then did he have an intuitive feeling.


    In the past, Ye Yuan only just touched a smattering. But now, after Ye Yuan went through a bout of bitter cultivation, the improvement of spatial laws seem to show a trend of advancing by leaps and bounds.


    "Spatial laws are actually so hard!" Ye Yuan exclaimed with a sigh.


    "Heh, more than just hard! Time laws and spatial laws are the two most fundamental laws. In the entire Heavenspan World, don''t talk about being able to comprehend, even learning the rudiments is also very rare. You don''t look at how those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses all fly in the sky and tunnel into the earth. Actually, they don''t understand spatial laws at all. Being able to accomplish this is entirely because the power of the world itself contains a portion of spatial laws. Even with this innate advantage, the vast majority of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses are unable to learn the rudiments of spatial laws for all their lives too! While you have already opened this door!" Dustless said.


    "Like this, I''m very remarkable?" Ye Yuan said rather surprisedly.


    He really did not know that the spatial laws he comprehended were actually so formidable.


    But Dustless said solemnly, "Very impressive! However, I can''t help you with spatial laws either. How much you can comprehend will depend on your fortunes."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Suddenly recalling something, he said, "Oh, right, inside the World Suppressing Stele, it can actually alter the time flow, could it be ��"


    Dustless nodded and said, "That''s right! Back then, Immortal Grove comprehended a trace of time laws by chance. However, he only comprehended a bit of superficial knowledge."


    Indeed so!


    The time that Ye Yuan came to the Heavenspan World was not short anymore too. He had never heard of changing the flow of time, this kind of thing.


    It turned out that it was actually Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s unique secret technique.


    Just comprehended a trace of superficial knowledge and he could change the time flow ratio of one to ten. If one completely comprehended time laws, how terrifying was that?


    Ye Yuan felt terrified thinking about it.


    Gathering his thoughts, Ye Yuan continued to clear the rounds, challenging the eighth guardian.


    While at this time, Di Fan and the eighth guardian''s battle was already drawing to a close.


    Boom!


    Once more, Di Fan blew his opponent up with a punch.


    "Hahaha, awesome!"


    Di Fan was covered all over with wounds and scars, virtually not an intact spot on his physical body.


    But he still killed his opponent and succeeded in clearing the round.


    When he was recovering his strength, Di Fan murmured to himself, "It''s a shame, definitely can''t pass the ninth round! But my battle achievement should be number one among the 12 arena lords, right? Those few people''s strength can at most only make it to the sixth round. Heh, number one or not doesn''t matter. The challenges this time caused a tremendous improvement for my strength!"


    Di Fan was completely unaware of the outside world geniuses'' shock.


    Ye Yuan actually even cleared the seventh round easily!


    "I remember that Di Fan fought roughly more than 2000 rounds with the seventh guardian, right? This Source Night settled it in three or four hundred moves?"


    "This �� This is simply unimaginable. Source Night actually caught up from behind."


    "Wonder what kind of expression Di Fan will have when he comes out and sees Source Night."


    ...


    At the state, Ye Yuan''s clearing speed was very slow. It could be described using turtle speed.


    But unknowingly, Ye Yuan actually caught up to Di Fan''s speed!


    They saw from Di Fan''s state, his limit was also just the ninth round.


    But they completely could not see where Ye Yuan''s limit lay.


    In the seventh round, the time Ye Yuan used, it seemed almost the same as in the first round.


    The time was only a quarter of Di Fan''s!


    This kind of strange situation made these geniuses even feel somewhat afraid.


    Finally, Di Fan was defeated in the ninth round.


    Afterward, he was transported into a foreign space, chose a fiend lord mystic treasure, and was transported back.


    But after he came out, he discovered that everyone was using a strange gaze to look at him.


    Di Fan even thought that everyone was stunned by his battle record and said with a big laugh, "All using this kind of expression to look at me for what? Haha, the challenge clears this time is really to my heart''s content! Making it to the ninth round in one go! Even if the mystic treasure is given to the Blood Yama Hall, this trip was also worthwhile!"


    He still had a young person''s temperament in the end. The cheerfulness in Di Fan''s heart inevitably had to be expressed.


    He seemed to be afraid that others did not know that he made it to the ninth level and showed off a bit without leaving a trace.


    But he discovered that everyone did not seem to have the intention of pandering to him.


    Among the six sons, Ba Tu and Di Fan''s relationship was pretty good.


    Seeing the situation, Ba Tu said with a strange look, "Di Fan, stop showing off. You''ve met your match this time! Come over and take a look!"


    Di Fan''s expression turned struck dumb with amazement, looking over in the direction Ba Tu pointed at, and involuntarily shuddered all over, his gaze revealing a look of astonishment.


    Regarding Di Fan''s gaze, everyone did not feel surprised.


    After each of the Eminent Orchid Six Sons came out, they practically all had this expression.


    Pfft!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s long sword was sent into the other party''s chest once more.


    Eighth round, cleared!


    Di Fan was seemingly electrocuted by something, his entire person shuddering, as he said in disbelief, "This �� How is this possible? He, a grand completion Fiend General, can actually make it to the ninth round? No, wait, there''s something fis-"


    "Shut up!" Ba Tu suddenly shouted coldly, cutting off Di Fan''s words.


    Di Fan was taken aback with fright and was just about to fly off the handle, but then he heard Ba Tu say with a cold bellow, "If you don''t want to die, shut your mouth!"

 1520 Spatial Laws Versus Ice Laws

    "Ba Tu, you dare to get mad at me?" Di Fan said with a sullen look.


    Ba Tu looked at him like looking at a fool and said, "What you want to say, we all know. Nuo De said it, and then he died."


    Di Fan''s expression changed. Looking at everyone''s eyes, he suddenly understood something.


    "Our thoughts were the same as yours at the start. But now, we discovered that maybe it isn''t as simple as we think. His strength is really very strong!" Ba Tu said.


    Di Fan seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water. That valiant imposing momentum from before disappeared all at once without a trace.


    He was actually not first!


    Looking at Ye Yuan who was currently in a fierce battle in the projection, Di Fan suddenly felt somewhat doubtful of life.


    Could it be that he actually lost to a grand completion Fiend General?


    This result made him somewhat unable to accept it.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan who was somewhat struggling in the projection and suddenly found a trace of consolation and said with a cold smile, "Humph! This eighth guardian''s strength, I''m all too clear. There''s no way he can clear it."


    The moment his voice faded, everyone used strange gazes to look at him again.


    Di Fan was stupefied and said, "Why, I said wrongly again? You all look at his appearance, does it look like he can win?"


    Some people wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh.


    After all, Di Fan''s strength was placed there. Really annoying him would not have any good outcome.


    Ba Tu seriously could not look on, recounting the situation of Ye Yuan clearing the rounds for Di Fan.


    After Di Fan heard, he stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    He himself also had great harvests in the challenges this time. But playing like Ye Yuan, he really did not dare.


    Especially after the seventh round, each and every one of the opponents was too strong, virtually pressuring him until he could not catch his breath.


    As long as he relaxed a little, that was not a matter of winning or losing, but a matter of life and death.


    With this, Di Fan really had no temper anymore, watching the one and only projection on the arena obediently with the others.


    But in his heart, he was praying frantically for Ye Yuan to lose to the eighth guardian.


    But he was disappointed very quickly. A plain and ordinary straight stab of Ye Yuan''s directly struck his opponent''s head.


    Eighth round, cleared!


    Looking from the projection, this move was too plain and ordinary.


    They could not figure out why the guardian could not even block such a simple sword.


    Even though everyone did not dare to voice their doubts, at the bottom of their hearts, everyone''s suspicions had never been relieved before.


    Humph! When this punk comes out, I''ll definitely have a match with him! I don''t believe that there isn''t anything shady in here at all! Di Fan said in his heart with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan''s battle achievement had truly trampled on his dignity.


    As the Eminent Orchid Six Sons'' number one person, he was unable to accept this.


    However, the miracle was far from over.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have switched on a hack, still advancing unhurriedly.


    Ninth round, tenth round, eleventh round, twelfth round!


    "Congratulations to the no. 3 arena lord for clearing the twelfth round, obtaining the second reward!"


    The old voice sounded out once more. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.


    "Just up to which level is this guy going to clear?"


    "Could it be that he''s going to clear through? This �� This is also too abnormal!"


    "The last six rounds are definitely even harder than before! Maybe �� he should have reached his limits too, right?"


    ...


    Regarding the exclamations outside, Ye Yuan was completely unaware.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan''s strength could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Not only did his comprehensions in Sword Dao laws already reach the realm of grand completion initial-stage third-layered heaven, but he also made great progress in spatial laws.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that his spatial laws might be reaching the point of grand completion initial-stage first-layered heaven.


    The thirteenth round''s guardian was an extremely beautiful and cold-looking woman.


    "Young man, to be able to walk to this step, you''re very remarkable! But it ends here," the woman said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Stop being long-winded, let''s start! My sword already can''t bear the thirst and hunger!"


    The cold woman''s brows furrowed and she said with a cold snort, "What a conceited brat! Watch the sword!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Another sword user, perfect!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan unleashed a Chasing Moon, his figure instantly disappearing!


    Ye Yuan''s speed was swift to the extreme; unable to see with the naked eye at all.


    Clank!


    Two swords intersected. A burst of cold air transmitted into Ye Yuan''s body from the long sword, virtually freezing him.


    Ye Yuan''s shock was by no means insignificant, retreating like lightning.


    The cold woman''s voice suddenly sounded in Ye Yuan''s ear, "Want to run? Too late!"


    Ye Yuan''s heart thumped. This woman had such fast movements!


    While talking, the long sword already arrived at Ye Yuan''s neck.


    "Phantom Kill!"


    At the life and death moment, Ye Yuan unleashed Phantom Kill without the slightest hesitation, his speed suddenly increasingly explosively.


    Narrowing dodging this sword!


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    The two figures were unbelievably swift, exchanging a hundred swords in a blink of an eye; almost evenly-matched!


    The shock in Ye Yuan''s heart could not be any greater. Unleashing Phantom Kill with his current strength, the power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as in the past long ago.


    Coupled with the augmentation of spatial laws, this move of Ye Yuan practically had no solution.


    However, this woman was actually able to keep up with his speed.


    Clank!


    Two figures separated. Ye Yuan''s eyes revealed a look of trepidation.


    The cold woman also revealed a look of surprise. Clearly, she did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so strong.


    "No wonder you could make it here. Indeed, you have some capabilities!" the cold-looking woman said.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said with a smile, "You''re very strong too, to actually incorporate ice laws into Sword Dao!"


    For the first time, Ye Yuan ran into a powerhouse who fused together two kinds of power of laws!


    This woman''s Sword Dao laws were not high, only the level of late-stage third-layered heaven.


    But the terrifying thing was that her ice laws already cultivated to third-layered heaven too!


    Furthermore, she was the same as Ye Yuan, merging two kinds of laws together, the power doubling.


    Before making a move, the cold woman blanketed her surroundings full of ice laws domain. As long as Ye Yuan entered this domain, his speed would unknowingly slow down.


    Hence, that was why this woman could contend with him in terms of speed.


    Ye Yuan''s spatial laws were indeed bizarre. But it was only the level of initial-stage first-layered heaven after all.


    To be able to exchange blows with the cold woman in itself already demonstrated his might!


    "That move earlier, so fast! This punk indeed concealed his strength!"


    "My God, already made it to the thirteenth round before he used his full strength?"


    "This guy �� is really ridiculously strong!"


    ...


    Although they could not sense the undulations of the power of laws, the speed of Ye Yuan''s movement technique, they could still perceive it.


    Ye Yuan unleashing Phantom Kill, his speed soared tremendously. Those geniuses naturally took it into their sights.


    "Looks like this time, he finally ran into his match! Di Fan, that movement technique earlier, can you keep up?" Ba Tu suddenly asked Di Fan.


    Di Fan thought about and shook his head and said, "Don''t know! Can''t feel the power of laws here, we can only see the surface. But �� maybe I can''t keep up!"


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    They looked at Di Fan with incredible shock, not expecting that he actually personally admitted to being inferior to Ye Yuan!

 1521 Misty Sword Art!

    "It''s useless! Although your spatial laws are strong, the level that you comprehended is too low. Give up!" said the cold woman indifferently.


    "Heh, that might not be the case! Fight again!"


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, unleashing Phantom Kill once more.


    The cold-looking woman did not speak. The ice domain spread out, the sword tip not leaving Ye Yuan''s surroundings.


    The two people were top experts in the power of laws. It was the first time Ye Yuan''s power of law met its match.


    He urged his movement technique to the limit but was still unable to break through the woman.


    Her ice domain was like a large net, binding Ye Yuan''s hands and feet.


    Actually, Ye Yuan was not the woman''s match.


    Ye Yuan''s true killing move was using Daybreak under the state of Phantom Kill.


    Daybreak, this move, shattered myriad moves under the heaven.


    Especially when Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive toward sword moves. He had already found the cold woman''s weakness long ago.


    It was just that this way, he would not be able to have comprehensions in spatial laws anymore.


    He wanted to force himself to the limits, making himself comprehend spatial laws under the state of extremity.


    Presently, a link already formed between his Sword Dao laws and spatial laws.


    Ye Yuan discovered that communicating with spatial laws through Sword Dao laws yielded twice the results with half the effort.


    Even though his opponent previously was strong, he did not reach the cold woman''s level.


    Facing her, Ye Yuan really brought out all of his strength.


    Under this kind of state, it was easier for Ye Yuan to break through.


    Ye Yuan discovered that these ancient geniuses all had unique insights into the power of laws.


    Just like this woman, being able to integrate Sword Dao laws and ice laws to such a degree, she was absolutely an extraordinary talent back then, her strength reigning that era.


    This kind of exchange was two completely different concepts from Ye Yuan fighting with himself inside the Death Cultivation Space.


    Being his own opponent was surpassing time and again; a vertical development.


    But competing with these geniuses was gathering the strong points of everyone; a horizontal development.


    Ye Yuan could fight with himself non-stop. But it was a rare opportunity to exchange blows with these ancient geniuses.


    "It is no use. Your divine essence is consumed too fast like this! Still don''t pull back, you''ll die!" The woman''s icy voice came over.


    Although the woman was an ice beauty, she clearly had the appreciation of a talent stirred by Ye Yuan, and that was why she would warn like so.


    Except, Ye Yuan disregarded other people''s opinion. He did not listen to her words at all.


    "Humph! Stubborn and thickheaded!"


    When the woman saw that Ye Yuan did not listen to the advice, she did not hold back anymore as well, her long sword suddenly accelerating.


    "Sword Clear Like Frost!"


    This sword was the masterpiece of her Sword Dao!


    A bone-piercingly cold Sword Dao law came from head-on, making Ye Yuan''s Phantom Kill practically freeze in the air.


    The scent of death came from the front!


    Pfft!


    The two people''s figures intersected, their movements instantly freezing.


    Drip!


    Drip!


    Ye Yuan''s abdomen was pierced by a large hole, blood running in torrents.


    "Haha, this kid is finally defeated! Finally defeated! This time, it can''t be wrong, right?" Seeing this scene, Bu Zhe started laughing excitedly.


    Everyone all heaved a long sigh in relief. The pressure that Ye Yuan brought to them was too great.


    Overcoming all difficulties along the way, he actually already killed his way to the thirteenth round!


    Especially Di Fan, he cleared until the ninth round in one go. He was deeply aware of how great the disparity between each round was.


    One could say that the difficulty rose geometrically.


    But Ye Yuan actually cleared four more rounds than him.


    This disparity was too big!


    Each time Ye Yuan cleared a round, it was like his heart had an additional large mountain.


    Extremely heavy!


    Now, seeing Ye Yuan get defeated, he could finally let out a sigh of relief.


    But very soon, their expressions turned stiff on their faces.


    "This �� How is this possible?" Ba Tu said in alarm.


    In the projection, the woman''s figure gradually dissipated. This was the hallmark of being killed!


    "It was clear that woman should have won. How �� How was she killed?" Di Fan said with a puzzled look.


    In the space, the cold woman''s figure condensed once again. Her gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of shock.


    "You''re a madman!" the woman said coldly.


    Ye Yuan''s state was somewhat miserable. Even though he already revolved the Tyrant Dragon Regeneration Art, the recovery speed clearly could not quite catch up to the speed of the power of laws''s destruction.


    Hearing the woman''s words, Ye Yuan smiled tragically and said, "But I won, no? Furthermore �� I comprehended it!"


    Earlier, when Ye Yuan was pushed to the limit, the initial-stage first-layered heaven spatial laws finally reached the realm of grand completion!


    In that instant, Ye Yuan finally broke through the ice domain''s sealing, his figure traversing through space bizarrely, killing the woman first.


    However, the woman''s Sword Clear Like Frost was also not for show. Under that small distance, it still pierced Ye Yuan''s abdomen.


    The final outcome was that Ye Yuan was injured, while the cold woman died!


    The cold-looking woman''s beautiful eyes swiveled and she said indifferently, "You won! Go to the next round then! You comprehended spatial laws, those few people at the back are all not your match anymore. However, the final round''s Zheng Jian is known as Purple Extreme Sect''s history''s strongest. You need to be careful! It''s said that he''s the same as you, also a madman!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned stern. To be able to make the cold woman so solemn, he was definitely formidable to the extreme.


    One had to know that this woman''s talent was absolutely rare in the world.


    Being able to comprehend Sword Dao laws and ice laws to the third-layered heaven at half-step Origin Deity Realm, and merge into one, this was absolutely not what the average person could accomplish.


    After Ye Yuan came to the Heavenspan World, he had also seen quite a few so-called geniuses. He had never encountered any capable of merging the power of laws before.


    Among the people who came this time, he did not know if there were anyone who could fuse together the power of laws. But Ye Yuan reckoned that there should be no one able to make it to this thirteenth round.


    It seemed like he really had to be a little careful with this Zheng Jian.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with clasped hands, "Many thanks, I''ll be careful!"


    The cold woman nodded slightly and directly transported Ye Yuan away.


    In the array formation, Ye Yuan''s injuries and divine essence were rapidly recovering.


    "What a powerful array formation, to actually be even more powerful than ordinary medicinal pills! This Purple Extreme Sect''s strength back then was likely extraordinary!"


    Feeling the rapidly recovering injuries, Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    "Phantom Kill coupled with spatial laws, the power is indeed extraordinary! This sword art already can''t be called Phantom Kill anymore. What to call it? Uh �� This move''s mystery lies in its unpredictableness, making the opponent unable to grasp it. Why not call it ''Misty Sword Art'' then!" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Currently, among Ye Yuan''s sword arts, it already contained quite a few spatial powers of laws.


    The original Phantom Kill move already changed flavors.


    This was a move that fused Sword Dao laws and spatial laws, similar to that of the cold woman''s Sword Clear Like Frost.


    With the addition of spatial laws, Ye Yuan''s sword move became even more erratic and elusive.


    Hence, Ye Yuan naming this new move as ''Misty Sword Art'' was rather appropriate.

 1522 As Long as Youre Happy

    Sure enough, as the woman predicted, battling against the few guardians after her, Ye Yuan was unimpeded all the way.


    When he finished off the seventeenth guardian, all of the geniuses outside were all dumbfounded.


    Di Fan only felt that his mouth was somewhat dry. This Ye Yuan''s strength was actually powerful to such a degree?


    He made it to the ninth round, Ye Yuan made it to the eighteenth round!


    The disparity between him and a grand completion Fiend General was actually as many as nine people?


    These nine people were not merely as simple as doubling.


    These nine people at the back, their strength were much stronger compared to the first nine people.


    "I really don''t know just what aspect this guy is strong in! I really want to have a good fight with him when he comes out!"


    Ba Tu''s heart was unbearably itchy. He was really somewhat doubting whether or not Ye Yuan''s opponents were really the same as theirs.


    Especially that battle where he won against the cold-looking woman. Everyone clearly saw that the woman pierced Ye Yuan''s abdomen with a sword. But why was the one who won in the end Ye Yuan?


    "Heh, it''s the final battle. What the result will be, it will be known very soon!" Di Fan said with a cold smile.


    ...


    Ye Yuan looked at this man dressed in black in front of him, feeling an unprecedented pressure.


    Although the woman was strong, she completely did not give him this kind of powerful sense of oppression.


    Before seeing Zheng Jian, Ye Yuan also could not imagine that a half-step Origin Deity martial artist would bring him such a strong pressure.


    "Humph! Those trash actually let a weakling like you make it to my place!" Zhang Jian said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, a weakling, is it?


    The 17 rounds'' guardians earlier, all of them were amazingly talented people.


    Reaching Zheng Jian here, he actually became trash.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly and he said, "They all said that you''re a madman. I didn''t expect that �� you''re a condescending madman."


    Zheng Jian was indifferent and still said coldly, "Not that I''m condescending, but you''re not fit to enter my eyes at all. I''m invincible in the same rank. You, a mere grand completion Heaven Glimpse, what right do you have to enter my arcane sights?"


    Zheng Jian''s arrogance billowed to the heavens, completely looking down on Ye Yuan.


    In his eyes, he had no opponents in the same realm, let alone that Ye Yuan''s realm was even a rank lower than his.


    It was just that these words were somewhat funny in Ye Yuan''s ears.


    Invincible in the same realm, this kind of words, even he did not dare to say. This Zheng Jian actually uttered it shamelessly.


    The Heavenspan World was vast, geniuses as plentiful as oxen hair. Who dared to say that they were invincible in the same rank?


    He believed that Zheng Jian was definitely a tough character. But to be able to say this kind of words, he was no longer confident, but conceited.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, sorry about it, all along, I have never encountered a match in the same rank too."


    Zheng Jian said disdainfully, "Is that so? You''re very confident! Then I''ll utterly destroy your confidence today! Let you know the disparity between genius and mediocrity!"


    "Come on, I''m looking forward to it, ge �� nius!"


    Ye Yuan deliberately dragged out the tone to express his disdain. He disliked this so-called strongest person greatly.


    Zheng Jian had a character unmovable like a mountain. Ye Yuan''s provocation did not make him get angry.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s brows raised up. Zheng Jian''s aura actually fell, finally suppressing at grand completion Heaven Glimpse; exactly the same as Ye Yuan''s.


    "You''re very surprised?" Zheng Jian said indifferently.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head honestly and said, "Indeed a little surprised."


    Zheng Jian said, "I said before, invincible in the same realm. Still using half-step Origin Deity to deal with you, what difference is there from me and those trash?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alright, as long as you''re happy."


    Ye Yuan discovered that there was no way to communicate with this arrogant guy at all.


    At the outside world, a group of people looked at this scene wide-eyed and tongue-tied, full of puzzlement.


    "F*ck me, is this guy retarded? To actually suppress his realm to deal with Source Night?"


    "This guy is too cocky!"


    "This is a typical case of looking for trouble! In a while, see how he dies!"


    ...


    Even though Di Fan and Ba Tu they all felt that Ye Yuan should not make it to this step, regarding Ye Yuan''s strength, they had no objections.


    Seeing Zheng Jian actually suppress his realm to deal with Ye Yuan, they also felt incredulous.


    Toward the other people''s view, they also expressed their agreement.


    While at this time, two short swords appeared in Zheng Jian''s hands like a magic trick.


    His entire person immediately revealed his edge.


    The swift and fierce aura coming from head-on also made Ye Yuan''s countenance change visibly.


    While this guy was arrogant, his strength was definitely indisputable.


    Even though the other party suppressed his realm, Ye Yuan did not dare to underestimate it either.


    "Within ten moves, send you on your way! Understanding Sword Art, release!"


    Zheng Jian gave a low cry, his entire person dashing out akin to a cheetah, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in virtually a blink of an eye.


    Two short swords, one sliced towards Ye Yuan''s throat, one stabbed straight for Ye Yuan''s abdomen, the cooperation seamless.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, the Evil Extermination Sword shooting out strangely.


    "Misty Sword Art!"


    Zheng Jian only felt a blur before his eyes. Ye Yuan''s long sword actually reached first despite launching later, and already arrived in front of his face!


    This shock was by no means insignificant. He immediately changed moves, sweeping away Ye Yuan''s sword.


    But this alteration of move lost the initiative.


    An inch short, an inch of peril. The secret of short swords lied in close-quarters combat.


    But Ye Yuan relied on the length of his sword and directly suppressed Zheng Jian.


    Exchanging a move, Zheng Jian was very aggrieved.


    "Lad, it turns out that you comprehended spatial laws. No wonder you''re so cocky. It''s a shame, your spatial laws are too shallow!"


    Zheng Jian gave a cold cry, pouncing forward once more.


    This time, Zheng Jian''s speed was swift to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, instantly seeing through Zheng Jian''s actual situation.


    Short sword laws grand completion third-layered heaven, and integrated grand completion third-layered heaven laws of wind!


    Furthermore, Zheng Jian''s short swords seemed to still have some secrets that he did not see through.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Facing such an expert, Ye Yuan did not dare to hide his strength.


    The two short swords were erratic like his Evil Extermination Sword. A moment of carelessness and it would be fatal.


    But in the same rank, Ye Yuan really did not fear Zheng Jian.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to jump realms and battle, what he relied on was not just laws comprehension, there was also his thick divine essence!


    Ye Yuan''s chaos divine essence made his martial techniques inherently incomparably heavy. It had the effect of augmenting his martial technique itself.


    Hence, for Zheng Jian to want to suppress Ye Yuan under the same realm, it was a very laughable thing.


    Zheng Jian discovered this point very quickly. No matter how quick his movement technique was, he could only merely catch up to Ye Yuan''s speed.


    He discovered to his dismay that under the same realm, he could not do anything to the other party at all.


    The two people were evenly-matched!


    Clank!


    The two people separated from the clash.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Jian with a smile that was not a smile and said, "It''s already been 80 moves, boasted too big, right? This is the invincibility in the same realm that you boasted earlier?"


    Zheng Jian''s face was extremely dark but he did not know how to refute Ye Yuan''s words.


    This was still the first time in his life not gaining any advantage under the same realm!


    This kid opposite was powerful beyond imagination!


    Although unwilling to admit it, he really did boast too much earlier.


    "Looks like I really underestimated you! Kid, you have the qualifications to be my opponent! However, you also successfully infuriated me. Now, I''ll use my full power to fight!" Zheng Jian said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Most welcomed!"

 1523 Understanding Strike

    "Hahaha, this last round''s guardian is really amusing. To actually overestimate his own ability and suppress his realm. Now, he knows Ye Yuan''s prowess, right?"


    "This is purely being bored and looking for trouble. Being able to make it to the eighteenth level, can one''s strength be poor?"


    "Heh, he seems to look down on Source Night a lot. With this, his face is smacked resoundingly, right?"


    ...


    Although they could not hear the conversation inside the space, from the general look, one could still infer Zheng Jian''s attitude.


    That arrogant and condescension, one could distinctly feel it even through the projection.


    Although these geniuses outside disliked Ye Yuan a lot, for Ye Yuan to be able to make it to the eighteenth round, at any rate he represented them.


    Zheng Jian could defeat Ye Yuan, even kill Ye Yuan, but could not look down on him.


    This was slapping all of their faces!


    Under this kind of strange psychological influence, seeing Zheng Jian get smacked in the face by Ye Yuan, he felt very liberated instead.


    "Source Night''s situation likely isn''t good anymore. This eighteenth round''s guardian is indeed powerful. He''s not what those people previously could compare to at all," Ba Tu suddenly said.


    Regarding this, Di Fan clearly also quite agreed and said with a nod, "If my conjectures are right, Source Night probably already did his best just now! While this guardian still suppressed his realm."


    Ba Tu said with vicissitudes of emotion, "I really want to enter the place personally and watch this fight. This is absolutely the pinnacle battle of Fiend General Realm."


    ...


    Recovering to half-step Origin Deity Realm, Zheng Jian''s entire person gave off an erratic aura.


    "Ready to die?"


    Zheng Jian gave a cold laugh, his figure gradually becoming blurry.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly. The Misty Sword Art suddenly unleashed, his entire person similarly vanishing in place.


    The two people seemed to have disappeared into thin air.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    In the void, metal clashed. Streaks of cold light flashed by from time to time.


    Two people, one was spatial laws, one was the law of wind, their movement techniques were both extremely strange.


    After Zheng Jian recovered to half-step Origin Deity, his entire person''s strength immediately soared a great deal.


    To experts like them, the impact of a minor realm was seriously too great.


    "So fast! Totally can''t capture their figures!"


    "Turns out that this is their true strength! Too terrifying!"


    "Even though I can sense the law undulations, they can insta-kill me by just relying on this movement technique!"


    "I really want to know just who has the upper-hand right now!"


    ...


    At the outside world, those geniuses could not see Ye Yuan duo''s battle at all. They could only occasionally catch traces of blurry figures.


    Such a battle, made them incomparably stifled.


    The same Fiend General Realm, the strength was simply a world of difference!


    Ba Tu and Di Fan both had solemn faces. Only all the way until this moment were they now convinced that Ye Yuan''s strength was really not what they could compare to.


    The fights previously, Ye Yuan utilizing spatial laws tend to be just that one instant.


    But now, Ye Yuan virtually operated spatial laws to the limit, his entire person seemingly shuttling through the void.


    The Eminent Orchid Six Sons could not keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed at all.


    "I understand! Source Night integrated other powers of laws in his Sword Dao laws, that''s why we couldn''t see through the mystery!" Ba Tu suddenly cried out, having a sudden realization.


    But straight away, his brows furrowed together again and he racked his brain hard and said, "But what kind of law is it? Law of wind?"


    "It''s spatial law!" Di Fan suddenly spoke up.


    Ba Tu''s gaze turned intent and he immediately retorted, "Impossible! Spatial laws are one of the two great paramount laws! How can he possibly comprehend it?"


    Di Fan gave him a glance and said coolly, "You look closely, Source Night''s movement technique disappears and reappears again, not leaving traces, just like traversing through the void! Only spatial laws can do it to this extent! That guardian''s movement technique is also extremely fast. Even though his traces are erratic, there are still traces that can be followed. It should be the law of wind!"


    Di Fan''s vision was very sharp. Two mighty experts'' showdown forced himself to the limit, finally letting him see through a trace of inkling.


    Ba Tu looked carefully. Sure enough, it was as Di Fan said.


    Although the two people''s figures were unable to be captured, looking closely, they were indeed slightly different.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    "This �� How is this possible? This guy �� is also too freakish, right?" Ba Tu sucked in a cold breath and said.


    Di Fan''s expression was likewise very solemn and he said, "This can explain why he could defeat those guardians previously! His sword looks plain and ordinary. Actually, it''s just that our naked eye can''t capture it! His sword has actually already passed through the void and killed his opponent!"


    "No wonder! No Wonder! Actually, dealing with those people earlier with his strength was originally very easy. It''s just that he wanted to borrow his opponents to practice the sword! Hiss ��"


    Ba Tu suddenly felt that this world was filled with malice.


    How could there be such a freakish existence, to actually be able to comprehend spatial laws?!


    Right then, the two people''s battle in the projection came to an abrupt halt, revealing their figures.


    Everyone''s faces changed.


    "Source Night lost!"


    "As expected, his realm is at too much of a disadvantage!"


    "But, being able to do it to this step, he''s already very incredible!"


    "A freak who comprehended spatial laws, his future accomplishments are limitless!"


    ...


    In the projection, Ye Yuan''s breathing was chaotic. He was covered with injuries all over. He was already an arrow at the end of its flight.


    On the other hand, Zheng Jian was completely unscathed.


    This battle did not seem to have any suspense.


    "You lost! I admit that you''re very decent. Being able to force me to use 80% power, you can be sufficiently proud," Zheng Jian said coldly.


    Ye Yuan said with a slight pant, "80% power, is it? Why don''t �� you try using 100% of your power."


    Ye Yuan did not doubt Zheng Jian''s words. Such an arrogant person would not stoop to lying.


    Zheng Jian''s brows furrowed and he said, "No need. As the round guardian, as long as you can win 80% of my power, it''s considered successfully clearing the round. However, you can''t do it!"


    Ye Yuan cracked a smile and said, "If I insist on making you use 100% of your power?"


    Zheng Jian''s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "In that case, you''ll die!"


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s strength, he was already very clear.


    In the battle just now, Ye Yuan already unleashed all of his skill and used Daybreak and the Misty Sword Art at the same time. But was unable to break through Zheng Jian''s sword net at all.


    Zheng Jian''s power of laws was too powerful and his realm was also higher than Ye Yuan''s. This was practically a certain defeat scenario.


    "Heh, if you can kill me, feel free to bring it on! Use 100% of your power, let me take a look at just how formidable you, the proclaimed strongest disciple in the Purple Extreme Sect''s history, are!"


    Zheng Jian''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, "Have you thought it through?"


    Ye Yuan swung his sword horizontally and said coolly, "Thought it through!"


    Zheng Jian nodded slightly and said, "Many geniuses all die being presumptuous, clearly �� you''re the same too! Since you seek death wholeheartedly, then �� I''ll see you off!"


    After done talking, Zheng Jian displayed his stance, the aura on his body suddenly changed.


    "Understanding Sword Art �� Understanding Strike!" Zheng Jian said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he blurted out, "Selfless Realm!"

 1524 Why Dont . . . Ill Give It a Try Too

    "Mn? What''s going on? This Source Night actually still isn''t admitting defeat?"


    "They still want to fight again! Could it be that Source Night still has some trump card?"


    "You all look at the guardian''s state, it seems to be a bit off!"


    ...


    The current Zheng Jian entered a kind of mysterious state.


    Ye Yuan was too familiar with this state. It was precisely the Selfless Realm that he had entered twice!


    A dangerous aura hit him head-on, making Ye Yuan feel a chill run down his spine.


    "No wonder he dares to claim to be invincible in the same realm! He can actually enter the Selfless Realm at any time!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    But at this time, Dustless''s voice sounded out in Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, "This isn''t the perfect state Selfless Realm. It''s just a critical state between the Selfless Realm and reality. Furthermore, this state is only applicable to battles. It can let the martial artist unleash strength beyond normal levels when fighting!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath, not expecting that there was still such a martial technique.


    "This is his 100% combat power? Indeed powerful!" Ye Yuan muttered.


    "This move is developed by experiencing endless tempering before one can fuse a trace of Heavenly Dao into their own heart realm. It has to be someone with great fortitude to achieve it. This person was definitely a powerhouse whose fame shook a region when he was alive!" Dustless said.


    Even with Dustless''s high standards, he viewed Zheng Jian in a different light too.


    Although this person''s talent in martial arts could not compare to Ye Yuan''s, it was also not far away.


    "It came! So fast!"


    Ye Yuan was alarmed inwardly. Zheng Jian turned into an afterimage, charging over towards him.


    Two short swords resembled two sharp fangs, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, and charging over towards Ye Yuan.


    "Origin Magnetic Field, open! Misty Sword Art!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry. The Misty Sword Art was displayed once more. At the same time, a powerful gravitational field instantly descended.


    This came suddenly. Zheng Jian''s figure suddenly stopped, becoming much slower all of a sudden.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    The two people exchanged several dozen sword moves. Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly changed.


    Swish!


    Zheng Jian''s short sword suddenly accelerated, slashing a wound on Ye Yuan''s arm.


    Ye Yuan''s figure retreated explosively. But Zheng Jian was unrelenting, following after.


    The Origin Magnetic Field that had never failed actually only had an effect for one breath, and it was cracked by Zheng Jian.


    His sharp sword light directly tore a gap in the Origin Magnetic Field, slicing the forcefield into pieces.


    Zheng Jian''s power of laws was too strong, far from what the current Ye Yuan could compare to.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Ye Yuan exhausted all of his strength, his figure shuttling through space non-stop, and could only barely protect his vital areas.


    But the wounds on his body were increasing continuously.


    Zheng Jian who was under the state of the Selfless Realm was too strong.


    That kind of battle instinct was virtually unleashed by him to the limit.


    This had an all-round increase to his combat strength.


    This kind of feeling was like when Ye Yuan dealt with the clone back then.


    After he entered the Selfless Realm, the clone completely became the target to trample on in front of him.


    "So strong! That guardian is simply akin to a different person than from before. What in the world happened? Clearly still the same sword art, same movement technique, but why is it so strong?" Ba Tu said in horror.


    In this place, those who could slightly observe the two people''s battle traces were just the Eminent Orchid Six Sons.


    Ba Tu they all watched the projection with unmoving eyes, not daring to miss anything.


    Because as long as they were distracted momentarily, they would not be able to keep up with the two people''s tempo anymore.


    But he could feel that Zheng Jian''s strength suddenly soared, becoming a fighting madman.


    Ye Yuan''s situation was becoming worse and worse.


    Di Fan also watched very close and said in a solemn voice, "He seems to have entered a kind of strange state. Seems like �� the Selfless Realm!"


    Ba Tu''s expression changed and he said in shock, "Selfless Realm? This �� This isn''t possible, right? The Selfless Realm can be encountered, but cannot be hoped for. Can one casually enter it?"


    Di Fan''s expression was solemn as he said, "Selfless Realm naturally can''t be casually entered. But I heard that going through special training, one can train fighting instinct to a critical state! Under this critical state, it practically has the effect of Selfless Realm and can magnify one''s strength infinitely. Most likely, that guardian is in this state."


    Ba Tu was dumbfounded with shock when he heard and said in alarm, "There''s actually still such a thing? If ��"


    "No if! Disregarding that the people who know this kind of training method are extremely few, just this training''s terror is what ordinary people can''t bear at all. Out of a thousand people, it''s already very impressive to have one survive. This round guardian must have been a madman back then too!" Di Fan interrupted Ba Tu''s words and said solemnly.


    "Hiss ��"


    Ba Tu drew a cold breath when he heard. This kind of training method was truly too terrifying.


    "Looks like Source Night is somewhat in danger. Now, even if he wants to stop, it likely won''t work anymore too," Ba Tu said emotionally.


    The pangs of sharp pain coming from his body made Ye Yuan even more awake instead.


    "Selfless Realm, is it? Why don''t �� I give it a try too!"


    Ye Yuan had the experience of entering Selfless Realm twice before. There was also nearly entering Selfless Realm one time.


    A genius who understood the Selfless Realm more than him, one probably could not find a second one in this world.


    Now, he was forced by Zheng Jian to the limits. Even the Origin Magnetic Field was instantly disintegrated.


    The only method he could think of to resolve it was to enter the Selfless Realm.


    But Selfless Realm could not be entered at will.


    Entering the Selfless Realm required very harsh timings.


    The last time, Ye Yuan only narrowly entered Selfless Realm under the state of imminent death.


    At this time, Ye Yuan completely opened up his mind, carefully savoring the state of entering Selfless Realm the last two times.


    This way, he would not be able to focus fully on dealing with Zheng Jian''s attacks. The injuries on his body became more and more concentrated.


    Heavenly Dao!


    Selfless Realm was conforming to Heavenly Dao!


    How could it only conform to Heavenly Dao?


    Ye Yuan emptied himself, adjusting his state of mind bit by bit under this kind of extreme state.


    "Source Night can''t hold on anymore! Within a hundred moves, life and death will likely be decided!" Di Fan''s words carried some melancholy.


    After all, Source Night''s talent broadened their horizons.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuanscrewed himself over.


    A hundred moves sounded a lot. But to Ye Yuan and Zheng Jian, it was merely several breaths of time.


    Their attacks were too quick, swift to the point where ordinary people could not catch it at all.


    "You''re dead!" Zheng Jian''s voice was akin to a death-hastening talisman, sounding in Ye Yuan''s ear.


    Although he was in a critical state, he still retained his consciousness.


    This voice was announcing Ye Yuan''s death.


    Zheng Jian''s short sword was akin to a bolt of lightning, stabbing toward Ye Yuan''s heart.


    Swish!


    Zheng Jian only felt pain on his body. He was actually hurt!


    Zheng Jian''s heart sunk. This was Ye Yuan''s first time striking his body!


    His certain-kill blow was actually dodged by Ye Yuan and he even left behind a scar on his body?


    Zheng Jian suddenly felt something in his heart, his gaze revealing great astonishment.


    "Selfless Realm!"

 1525 Revealed True Self

    When the fake Selfless Realm ran into the real Selfless Realm, the result �� was tragic.


    Zheng Jian discovered to his dismay that his short swords could not touch the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves anymore.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan caused considerable damage to him from time to time.


    Under Ye Yuan''s persecution, it was hard for Zheng Jian to maintain the state of Understanding Strike anymore.


    Under this trade-off, their position directly reversed.


    At the outside world, when the group of geniuses saw this scene, they immediately felt baffled.


    "It''s not right! Di Fan, the two of them have long exchanged a hundred moves already. Why hasn''t the victor been decided yet? Di Fan? Di Fan?"


    Ba Tu turned around to look at Di Fan, but he discovered that Di Fan had his eyes glued to the projection, shock written all over his eyes.


    "Hey, what in the world happened?" Ba Tu nudged Di Fan.


    Di Fan abruptly startled awake and said with shock, "Selfless Realm!"


    Ba Tu said in puzzlement, "I know that it''s the Selfless Realm, didn''t you say it just now, that guardian is in a critical state."


    Di Fan said, "It''s the true Selfless Realm! That Source Night he entered Selfless Realm!"


    "What?! Got to be kidding! Is Selfless Realm so easy to enter?" Ba Tu jumped up all at once, yelling at the top of his voice.


    When the others heard this, they all revealed shocked expressions, all staring at Di Fan, wanting to hear his explanation.


    Among these people, only Di Fan''s strength could see through some clue.


    "Same moves, same realm, everything hasn''t changed. But Source Night is now completely crushing the guardian. Only the Selfless Realm can accomplish this!" Di Fan said in shock.


    Apart from Selfless Realm, he seriously could not think of other possibilities.


    "Selfless Realm �� This Source Night''s talent is truly a bit too freakish, right?"


    "His talent in alchemy is already extreme heaven-defying. Even a group of Fiend Lord powerhouses are very respectful towards him. Didn''t expect that he''s actually so freakish in martial arts too. Does he still want people to live?"


    "When you compare goods, goods have to be thrown away, when you compare people, people have to die! This guy really doesn''t give people a way out!"


    "It''s said that as long as one enters the Selfless Realm, stepping into Fiend Lord Realm is virtually a sure bet. Really envious of him!"


    ...


    The group of geniuses either gasped in admiration or envied. They were all existences with many admirers around them in each capital city. But in front of Ye Yuan, they were like goods on a roadside stall.


    This kind of strong contrast made them very uncomfortable.


    Even facing the Eminent Orchid Six Sons, they also did not feel that they were too lofty beyond reach.


    But now, they had a feeling that even if they worked hard for all their lives, they could not see the back of Ye Yuan''s feet too.


    This feeling of setback truly made people despair.


    If let them know that it was already Ye Yuan''s third time entering Selfless Realm, no idea how they would feel about it.


    Under Selfless Realm, Ye Yuan was unprecedentedly powerful.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    The wounds on Zheng Jian''s body became more and more. Finally, he had his head pierced by Ye Yuan with one sword.


    Death!


    When Zheng Jian''s body condensed and formed once more, the eyes he looked at Ye Yuan with were full of shock.


    He who was undefeatable back then was actually defeated by a grand completion Fiend General millions of years later!


    This was an utter defeat. He could not even find an iota of reason to defend himself.


    At this time, he felt that the arrogant remarks he said to Ye Yuan previously seemed so ridiculous.


    Invincible in the same realm?


    He was leapfrogged and defeated by someone!


    Ye Yuan had yet to recover from the state of Selfless Realm. The Ye Yuan under Selfless Realm state finally thoroughly mastered the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s third level cultivation method!


    He was going to start breaking through!


    Rumble �� !


    The entire hall was quaking. The commotion caused by Ye Yuan''s breakthrough was truly too great!


    Suddenly, Di Fan''s expression changed.


    "Hang on, this �� this aura �� it''s human!"


    Ye Yuan could use the Chaos Heavenspan Canon to imitate fiend essence. But when breaking through, he must recover to the human race state.


    His chaos divine essence was many levels higher than fiend essence. It was impossible to break through according to the method of fiend essence.


    Hence, at this time, Ye Yuan finally recovered to the state of a human.


    Ye Yuan''s breakthrough aura broke the fetters of space, transmitting into the hall.


    Di Fan finally saw through a trace of inkling.


    "How is this possible?! This Source Night is actually a human!"


    "This �� This is impossible! How can a human disguise so flawlessly!"


    "There were so many Fiend Lord powerhouses outside, could it be that not one of them saw through it?"


    "This �� This is too terrifying! This guy toyed with all of us fiends in the palm of his hand!"


    ...


    The others also detected the abnormality, all incomparably shocked.


    They were truly unable to imagine that a human could actually disguise as a fiend so perfectly.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Just as everyone was in a state of disbelief, beams of light fell down in the hall.


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes and they disappeared from the hall.


    Bang bang bang!


    "Ouch!"


    "My butt!"


    ...


    Wails sounded everywhere. They were actually directly transported out of the ancient ruins!


    A group of fiend lords looked at the geniuses who fell to the ground rather surprisedly, not understanding what had happened.


    "Di Fan, what''s going on? You all failed the rounds?" the imperial city''s Blood Yama Hall envoy directly found Di Fan and asked.


    But Di Fan did not answer him right away, but looked around, seemingly looking for some figure.


    The Blood Yama Hall''s envoy frowned and said unhappily, "Di Fan, what are you looking at?"


    Di Fan scanned around and indeed did not discover Ye Yuan''s figure, and could not help revealing a disappointed look.


    He let out a sigh and said, "Something big happened! Where''s Elder Di En?"


    Right then, a powerful aura descended from the sky. Di En''s figure appeared.


    "Di Fan, what happened?" Di En said.


    Di Fan''s expression was solemn, recounting the events that happened inside the ruins.


    When the group of fiend lords heard, each and every one of them revealed great astonishment.


    Especially Yi Han, her expression became incomparably pale.


    "What did you say?! Source Night he �� is a human? That''s impossible!''


    An old man gripped Di Fan''s arm, nearly crushing his bones.


    "Argh! L-Let go of me!" Di Fan wailed miserably.


    When the Blood Yama Hall''s envoy saw that the old man actually became violent, he could not help saying in a great rage, "Insolence! Let him go!"


    Heavenstar glared fiercely and shouted, "Get lost!"


    The strength of Fiend Lord ninth-layered heaven suddenly erupted, giving everyone a big fright.


    "Fiend Lord ninth-layered heaven! Who �� Who is he?" Everyone exclaimed.


    "Brat, tell me that what you said earlier is nonsense!" Heavenstar said in a cold voice.


    Di Fan''s face was contorted in pain and could not even speak.


    At this time, Ba Tu hurriedly came forward and said, "Your Excellency, Di Fan he didn''t lie. So many of us saw it with our own eyes! If not for that Source Night breaking through realm and could no longer conceal it, we''d still be kept in the dark!"


    "Yeah, Your Excellency! We all thought that he was a fiend. But at the final juncture, he broke through to Origin Deity Realm, revealing the aura of a human. Otherwise, we''d still be unaware until now!" another person spoke up.


    Heavenstar knew that he was likely really deceived!

 1526 Some Experience

    So angry!


    The Blood Yama Hall went through great pains and expended countless material things to actually benefit a human?


    Di En and Heavenstar exchanged a glance, virtually about to break down.


    Suddenly, Heavenstar''s gaze turned to look at Di Fan and said viciously, "You said that he''s currently breaking through right now?"


    Di Fan nodded and said, "That''s right! He entered the Selfless Realm and directly broke through the human race''s Origin Deity Realm bottleneck. That''s how the clue appeared."


    When Heavenstar heard this, he seethed with killing intent and said, "What a terrific human race lad, to actually dare toy with this old man in the palm of your hand! This old man will see how you see!"


    Finished talking, Heavenstar directly took out several dozen Soul Refining Lamps and started casting the Blood Soul Curse.


    Inside the ancient ruins, Dustless suddenly felt something, a hint of a sneer revealing at the corners of his mouth.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl came out of the body and suspended above Ye Yuan''s head, emitting a dark-red light.


    "Heh, looks like those fiends know about Ye Yuan''s human race identity already. That old punk actually still dares to cast the Blood Soul Curse, simply seeking death! Don''t need to hold back anymore this time, let you eat a big loss!" Dustless said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ye Yuan was currently fully focused on breaking through realm and was completely oblivious toward this.


    On the Soul Suppressing Pearl, the dark-red light became stronger and stronger, gradually forming a vortex, absorbing soul force crazily.


    Previously, Dustless was afraid of Heavenstar detecting and intentionally exercised restraint.


    But now, since the other party already discovered it, he naturally would not be over-cautious anymore.


    Heavenstar activating the Blood Soul Curse was initially because he was in a great rage and wanted to put Ye Yuan to death.


    But he discovered something wrong very quickly. His soul force actually poured out frenziedly involuntarily, as if being pumped out by someone to draw water.


    Heavenstar was greatly shocked in his heart and wanted to stop the Blood Soul Curse.


    But he discovered to his dismay that he could not do it at all!


    Inside the array formation, Heavenstar surged with vitality, looking incomparably fearsome.


    Quite a few fiend lords and geniuses were all exclaiming with regards to Heavenstar''s powerful strength and did not discover the slightest bit of abnormality.


    "Such a powerful soul force! This lord''s strength is likely also in the upper echelons in the Blood Yama Hall, right?"


    "Tsk tsk, I wonder what curse this lord activated. Most likely, at this time, that Source Night is feeling very awful, right?"


    "Humph! He actually dared to toy with all of us in the palm of his hand. Serves him right to be cursed to death by His Excellency!"


    ...


    Heavenstar was shouting frantically in his heart. But he was currently already brought into the gutter and could not even shout.


    One had to know that his opponent was an empyrean spirit treasure!


    Heavenstar''s face revealed a savage look. At this rate, his entire person would be sucked dry.


    "Mn?"


    Di En''s brows furrowed, finally discovering something amiss.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    His fingers flicked. Several dozen streams of light fired out, directly shattering those Soul Refining Lamps into pieces.


    Woo, woo, woo ��


    Countless ghostly wails reverberated inside this valley; incomparably shrill and forlorn.


    "Noisy!"


    Di En flicked his sleeves grandly, directly killing all of those fierce ghosts.


    "Puhwark!"


    Heavenstar directly spewed out a large mouthful of blood, his entire person seemed to have had a great illness, feeble to the extreme.


    Di En looked at Heavenstar and said with slightly furrowed brows, "What happened?"


    Heavenstar said weakly, "D-Don''t know! The other party is like a black hole, continuously devouring my soul force. Couldn''t stop even if I wanted to! If you didn''t make a move, my fiend soul would likely be directly sucked dry!"


    Di En''s expression was slightly dark. To be able to suck a Fiend Lord ninth-layered heaven powerhouse''s fiend soul dry, how formidable the strength did this require?


    "This brat is peculiar! Most likely, there is quite a bit of secret on him. No wonder he could hide from all of us!" Di En said.


    Heavenstar nodded his head feebly and said, "I was utterly played by this brat! Probably, he didn''t get hit by the Blood Soul Curse at all. No wonder when I cast the spell back then, it would expend large amounts of soul force each time."


    Heavenstar recalled the situation at that time and discovered that he was probably fooled right from the start.


    At the thought that even the Profound Yellow Cauldron was cheated by Ye Yuan, Heavenstar''s heart was dripping blood.


    This trip was really a double loss.


    Di En''s brows furrowed and he said in a clear voice, "All disperse! Yi Han, you stay!"


    Yi Han''s expression became fearful, knowing that this calamity likely could not be escaped.


    The other hall masters knew that they could not poke the bull at this time, all taking their leave, leaving behind just Yi Han alone.


    "Yi Han, the matter was caused by you. Now, I''ll give you a chance to make amends. Guard here. When that punk comes out, you can only leave after catching him, understood?" Di En said solemnly.


    Yi Han hurriedly said, "Lord Di En, rest assured! Even if Yi Han needs to watch until the seas dry up and rocks decay, I''ll capture this brat!"


    Di En nodded his head and said to Heavenstar, "Let''s go back. The secrets on this kid''s body might be even more valuable than these ancient ruins! As long as we catch him, everything can be discussed. In order to make provisions for contingencies, I''ll send someone else here and lend you a helping hand!"


    Yi Han bowed and said, "Yes, Your Excellency!"


    ...


    Breaking through to Origin Deity Realm made him have a feeling of peerlessness.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s divine sea expanded more than a hundred times from before. It was just that inside the Dantian space, it did not seem like a sea.


    But like �� a region of starch paste!


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly and he communicated with Dustless, "Senior, is my direction wrong? Why has the divine essence in my divine sea already almost became a pile of starch paste?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that even though his divine essence was incomparably thick, it became stickier and stickier; completely different from ordinary people''s divine essence.


    Dustless said, "This �� You''re walking a path that predecessors have never walked before. It''s not easy for me to judge. But your situation, I''ve indeed never seen before. However, when you created the cultivation method, it could trigger a heaven and earth phenomenon, and resonance of the Heavenspan Mountain. Presumably, this direction wouldn''t be wrong."


    Ye Yuan could not figure out after racking his brains and was very depressed in his heart.


    His cultivation method was completely derived according to his understanding of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    That was a logical derivation.


    But Ye Yuan''s cultivation method clearly contravened common sense and was vastly different from ordinary people. This unwittingly made him somewhat lose confidence.


    Because Origin Deity to Divine Lord was an extremely huge chasm.


    If the cultivation method that he derived was wrong and he was unable to open up a small world, then all of his efforts would turn to naught.


    This was a very crucial step. Even Ye Yuan could not avoid thinking in terms of gains and losses.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, "Forget it, a shot arrow cannot be recalled. If I''m really unable to break through to Divine Lord Realm, we''ll talk again at that time."


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and discovered that Zheng Jian was using a very shocked gaze to look at him.


    "You won! Congratulations, you can obtain the Purple Extreme Hall''s true inheritance!" Zheng Jian said, somewhat lost in deep reverie.


    His pride was trampled to the ground by Ye Yuan today.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Senior Zheng!"


    Zheng Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "How did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan froze for a moment before realizing that what Zheng Jian was referring to was Selfless Realm, and said with a smile, "That''s nothing. Before this, I''ve already entered it twice before. So �� there''s some experience."


    Zheng Jian was speechless.

 1527 Instantly Understand

    Even if trampling others, people should not be trampled like this!


    This was trampling completely, and then still driving a roller to crush a few more times!


    Zheng Jian felt that his world view was collapsing.


    When did the Selfless Realm become a cabbage, easily found?


    Back then, in order to master the Understanding Strike, he had narrowly escaped death no idea how many times, but never entered the state of Selfless State once before.


    But he entered three times!


    Three times!


    Selfless Realm, entering once was a massive jackpot.


    This guy actually entered three times!


    Furthermore, it seemed like there was a trend of becoming smoother and smoother!


    This �� Was this still humanly possible?


    Zheng Jian felt that he was simply a joke.


    That joke that transmigrated through time and space!


    Genius?


    In front of this guy before his eyes, the word ''genius'' was so laughable!


    After a long time, Zheng Jian suddenly changed his face and was no longer arrogant and no longer considered everyone and everybody beneath his notice, just like a wise man who had seen through worldly affairs.


    "Looks like I indeed had a limited outlook! Your talent is unprecedented since time immemorial! I''m already submerged in the long river of history, while you''re destined to give off brilliance! Go on!"


    At this moment, Zhang Jian actually smiled.


    That ten-thousand-year-old corpse face actually revealed a smile.


    That was a smile of relief. He seemed to have understood something.


    Then, his figure gradually dissipated and turned into nothingness.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes blurred and he arrived in the hall once more.


    The current hall already switched scenes. Those arenas had all disappeared, appearing much more empty.


    "Congratulations on your success in challenging the Purple Extreme Sect''s 18 geniuses, becoming the Purple Extreme Sect''s successor! Your reward �� is this hall!" The old voice sounded out once more, making Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Wasn''t it said that every six rounds had a reward? Why did it become this hall?


    Ye Yuan had a strange look as he said, "This hall, I can''t move it away too, want it for what?"


    "Who said that the hall can''t be moved? This hall itself is a spatial flying-type true god mystic treasure. It can be big or small. When big, it can become a magnificent palace. When small, it can become a grain of dust. It can even travel as far as hundreds of millions of miles in a day. Of course, the prerequisite is that you need to have sufficient divine essence stones!" a thin and bony old man''s phantom appeared and said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "So incredible?"


    The old man snorted coldly and said, "More than incredible. Back then, my Purple Extreme Sect devoted the entire sect''s power to forge this true god mystic treasure, wanting to immortalize our legacy. There are extremely powerful killing arrays inside this hall. As long as you have sufficient divine essence stones, even eradicating true gods can be done!"


    It sounded �� very impressive!


    Eradicating true gods, thinking about it made people excited.


    "Tsk tsk, I seem to have picked up a treasure" Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.


    The old man said, "I''m running out of time. Now, I''ll impart you the Purple Extreme Sect''s supreme cultivation method. You have to cultivate well and bring my Purple Extreme Sect to greater heights!"


    Ye Yuan froze for a moment and said, "Cultivation method? No need. My cultivation method is pretty good, I don''t plan on changing cultivation methods."


    Got to be joking, supreme cultivation method?


    In front of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, it was nothing!


    When the old man heard that, he said in sullen anger, "You obtained my Purple Extreme Sect''s inheritance, you must cultivate the Purple Extreme Sect''s supreme cultivation method. Otherwise, I''ll blot you out!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold. This old man was also too unreasonable, right?


    After a pause, the old man continued, "Furthermore, cultivating the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra is also saving yourself! There are three fiend lord powerhouses standing guard outside. If you don''t cultivate the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra, you won''t be able to refine the Purple Extreme Hall. When this old man dies, the Purple Extreme Hall''s array formation will dissipate and they will rush in!"


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan''s heart turned cold and he immediately changed expressions and said, "Then still waiting for what? Come on!"


    The old man smiled slightly and took his time to say: "The Purple Extreme Heart Sutra is divided into a total of six levels. It can help you cultivate all the way to True God ninth-layered heaven, even the realm of half-step Heavenly Empyrean; the pinnacle-most existence among grade-six Divine Dao cultivation methods! As long as you cultivate this cultivation method''s first level, you''ll be able to refine the spirit source crystal soul. Except, the speed will be very slow. As long as you refine a part of it, you can control the grand array and stop those fiend lords from entering!"


    While talking, a milky-white crystal appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said, "Which is to say that the higher level I cultivate the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra, the faster the speed of refining the spirit source crystal soul, right?"


    The old man said, "Yes. But the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra is extensive and profound, within a short time ��"


    The old man had not finished talking and was cut off by Ye Yuan: "Then still waiting for what? Bring out the first three levels for me!"


    The old man choked and said, "Young man, don''t bite off more than you can chew. Your foundation needs to be solid, otherwise ��"


    Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "I say, Senior, did you say that time is limited? Can you hurry up or not?"


    The old man choked again. But this time, he still brought out the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra. However �� just the first level cultivation method.


    Countless divine inscriptions appeared in front of Ye Yuan, making people blurry-eyed.


    However, Ye Yuan just swept a glance and said coolly, "Where''s the second level cultivation method?"


    The old man still took his time to say: "Young man, you only browsed over it once and want to cultivate the second level cultivation method? Better not to reach beyond your grasp!"


    I �� why did this old man have so much bullshit?


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him and started revolving according to the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra''s method.


    Purple light radiated on Ye Yuan''s body, dazzling to the extreme. It was precisely the hallmark of grand completion first level cultivation method.


    "Y-Y-You �� are already at grand completion? Could it be �� that you cultivated the Purple Extreme Heart Sutra in the past before? This �� This isn''t possible!"


    The thin old man had been taking his time all along, neither too fast nor too slow. But this time, he was visibly moved and even started stammering when speaking.


    How powerful this Purple Extreme Heart Sutra was, the thin old man was all too clear.


    Even immensely talented genius disciples had to expend a hundred years back then before they could master the first level too.


    Ye Yuan was an Origin Deity expert. Cultivating another cultivation method naturally yielded twice the results with half the effort. Even so, he at least had to spend two to three year''s time before he could master the first level too!


    However, he instantly understood!


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "I say, Senior, time is urgent, can we stop wasting time? Quick, bring out the two levels of cultivation method at the back and let me take a look."


    Although Ye Yuan had the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, he could only cultivate the first three levels right now too.


    As for the back, his realm was not there yet and naturally could not understand it too.


    With this, the old man finally released the entirety of the two levels of cultivation method at the back.


    After Ye Yuan swept a glance, he directly came before the spirit source crystal soul and started refining.


    Watching Ye Yuan refine the spirit source crystal soul with the third level Purple Extreme Heart Sutra, the thin old man was full of shock.


    This �� Just what kind of situation was this?


    Seen before photographic memory with one glance, but never seen before success with a glance!


    With just a glance, he mastered the extensive and profound Purple Extreme Heart Sutra, was this guy a monster?


    How in the world did he do it?


    "Hahaha, truly, heaven doesn''t want my Purple Extreme Sect to perish! Didn''t expect that after countless years, it actually let my Purple Extreme Sect find such a heaven-defying successor!" said the old man with a big laugh, as his turbid eyes suddenly became bright.

 1528 Huge Fortune

    Three months later, Ye Yuan finally refined a portion of the spirit source crystal soul.


    This great hall''s information directly poured into his sea of consciousness.


    What Ye Yuan controlled right now was just one-third of this hall.


    If he wanted to further control the Purple Extreme Hall, he had to cultivate the follow-up cultivation method.


    "Hiss �� this divine essence stone expenditure is also too terrifying!" Ye Yuan was left speechless with wonder.


    Unleashing an attack that eradicated first-layered heaven Divine Lord once needed to expend 50 million low-grade divine essence stones.


    This was practically equivalent to a first-layered heaven Divine Lord martial artist''s entire net worth.


    Because Ye Yuan had the identity of an alchemist and his strength was extremely daunting, that was how he easily had several tens of millions of low-grade divine essence stones on him.


    Ordinary martial artists, like Ye Yuan''s realm, to have several hundred thousands of divine essence stones were already pretty good.


    One had to know, martial artists'' cultivation required the help of divine essence stones. Purchasing cultivation resources also needed divine essence stones. This was a massive consumable and could not be saved.


    This was still just first-layered heaven Divine Lord. The stronger the opponent''s strength, the more horrifying the resources consumed.


    Additionally, the resources required for flying was also very frightening. The divine essence stones expended for a day''s flight at full power would reach a million divine essence stones.


    "Tsk tsk, this is totally something for rich people to play!" Ye Yuan lamented.


    "However, it''s indeed a good thing!" Dustless praised.


    "Senior, is there a way to save this Purple Extreme Sect''s senior?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "No way to salvage. Even a more powerful existence can''t withstand the ravaging of time too. That''s merely a wisp of divine sense. After being sealed for countless years, it''s already almost dissipating," Dustless said disconsolately.


    "Like that huh, that''s too bad." Ye Yuan said regretfully.


    When Ye Yuan returned to reality, he discovered that the thin old man was currently sizing him up with a curious look on his face.


    "Senior, many thanks!" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    The old man smiled and said, "The one who should be saying thank you is me. This old man has been sealed for countless years, and it''s you who freed me. To be able to encounter a successor like you is my Purple Extreme Hall''s blessing! This way, this old man can also go in peace."


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "Senior, you ��"


    The old man smiled and said, "The meaning of this old man''s existence is to find a suitable successor for the Purple Extreme Hall. Now that you''ve appeared, this old man naturally has no need to exist anymore too."


    This old man''s meaning was that he wanted to end himself!


    According to what was said previously, he had at least a few years to live.


    But now, he did not want to live anymore.


    While talking, the old man''s figure gradually dissipated.


    "Kid, what''s your name?" The old man asked.


    Ye Yuan said respectfully, "This junior is Ye Yuan."


    The old man laughed loudly and said, "Good! Very good! Ye Yuan, you won''t disappoint this old man! Remember, this old man is called Nie Sheng, the Purple Extreme Sect''s last sect master. Today, this old man can finally atone for my crime!"


    Ye Yuan watched the other party turn into countless light particles, gradually dissipating. He heaved a sigh and said, "Senior Nie Sheng rest assured, this junior will definitely bring the Purple Extreme Sect to greater heights."


    Hearing this, Nie Sheng''s face revealed a look of relief and departed with satisfaction.


    Ye Yuan''s mind stirred, appearing in a space inside the Purple Extreme Hall.


    Looking at the celestial deity artifacts that piled up like mountains, Ye Yuan had a feeling like he was dreaming.


    "Tsk tsk, am I considered to be an upstart now? A sect''s treasure trove is all here!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Cultivation methods, martial techniques, celestial deity artifacts, divine essence stones ��


    These cultivation resources were stored inside this space into categories, making Ye Yuan have a feeling of walking into a treasure vault.


    Just the low-grade divine essence stones were as many as five billion!


    Of course, this was definitely not the original reserves


    Although the Purple Extreme Hall had always been in a sealed state, this did not mean that it did not consume divine essence stones.


    This expenditure was very small, but it could not stand up to the passage of time.


    Presumably, back then when Nie Sheng sealed the Purple Extreme Hall, the number of divine essence stones controlled was definitely rather terrifying.


    Now, this five billion was likely just a fraction of back then.


    With this five billion, it could at least eradicate 100 first-layered heaven Fiend Lord existences.


    Of course, the prerequisite was to lure the other party into the Purple Extreme Hall.


    The Purple Extreme Hall''s killing array could only be activated inside the hall.


    "Tsk tsk, no wonder the Blood Yama Hall went through so much trouble. 50 to 60 low-grade divine lord mystic treasures. If this news was known by the outside world, that would be explosive!"


    Inside a miniature space, 50 to 60 low-grade divine lord mystic treasures were quietly suspended, stirring people''s hearts.


    It was also just Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would probably go crazy.


    Incomparably valuable divine lord mystic treasures, there were 50 to 60 articles the moment they came. This was simply an astronomical figure!


    The value of one divine lord mystic treasure was at least 10 billion too.


    Ye Yuan was equivalent to having a wealth of 560 billion all at once. This was not even counting the value of the other cultivation methods and martial techniques.


    And this was still just the market price. Who would be silly enough to take divine lord mystic treasures out to sell?


    Hence, the price of a divine lord mystic treasure tended to be several times higher than the market price!


    Ye Yuan was still feeling satisfied because of obtaining the Profound Yellow Cauldron previously. But he did not expect that in a blink of an eye, he fell into a divine lord mystic treasure ocean.


    However, these divine lord mystic treasures were mostly sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, mainly these weapons. There were even a small number of auxiliary-types. But there really wasn''t medicinal cauldrons.


    Divine lord mystic treasure medicinal cauldrons were a scarce item in the first place. This was simply a priceless treasure to alchemists.


    Furthermore, each and every alchemist was extremely wealthy. Hence, the price of medicinal cauldrons could not be judged with common sense at all.


    The Profound Yellow Cauldron simply had demand but no supply.


    Ye Yuan carefully investigated these divine lord mystic treasures. His mind stirred, a long sword flew into his hand.


    "Junyi Sword, um �� not bad, it''s you!"


    Ye Yuan played a bit and was very satisfied with this sword.


    The Evil Extermination Sword was already somewhat of a hindrance to the current Ye Yuan.


    When battling with some geniuses, quite a number of people all used celestial deity artifacts. Ye Yuan was at a very big disadvantage.


    Ye Yuan looked through these divine lord mystic treasures, only this Junyi Sword was the most suitable for him.


    With this Junyi Sword, Ye Yuan''s combat strength would still soar to a higher level.


    After all, even among Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, there were barely any who could afford to use divine lord mystic treasures.


    "You still can''t fully refine the Purple Extreme Hall right now. The truly good stuff should be in a higher-level space. This bit of treasure is just a speck to a peak True God sect," Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said, "Makes sense. However, does the Heavenspan World have sects, this kind of existences, before?"


    Dustless shook his head and said, "This, I don''t know. The time that the Heavenspan World has existed is far too long. Nobody knows what the ancient times look like at all. Perhaps before forming the current arrangement, the Heavenspan World might have had sects stand in great numbers. This kind of thing, perhaps only transcendent heavenly emperors and Dao Ancestors, those kinds of existences, would know."


    "Like that huh. Then the matter of establishing a sect would likely have some difficulties," Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    If Ye Yuan started a sect now, it was undoubtedly shattering the existing order. At that time, he would definitely become the target of public wrath.


    Within a short time, the promise that he made to Nie Sheng likely could not be carried out.

 1529 The Power of the Purple Extreme Hall

    "Yi Han, it was all thanks to you! Now, you caused me to be dispatched here together with you!"


    A rugged fiend lord was currently grumbling to Yi Han incessantly.


    Yi Han had an indifferent look and did not refute it either.


    She knew that whatever she said now was all wrong.


    But could this be blamed on her?


    Even Lord Heavenstar and Lord Di En could not see through the flaws, how could she see through?


    Who would have thought that a human could actually disguise as a fiend perfectly?


    Mo Han looked at this scene with a gloating face and did not talk too.


    He offered to stay behind.


    Mo Han''s grudge toward Ye Yuan was extremely deep. Thinking of that incomparably arrogant appearance of Ye Yuan''s, he was unwell from head to toe.


    Now, he could finally make Ye Yuan kneel in front of him to beg for mercy.


    How could he let this chance slip by?


    "Alright, Zi Chen. You stop complaining too. Want to say who hates that kid the most right now, it''s Younger Sister Yi Han. Don''t you agree, Younger Sister Yi Han?" Mo Han suddenly spoke up.


    Yi Han looked at Mo Han rather surprisedly and said with a nod, "What Brother Mo Han said is right. I wish that I can devour his raw flesh right now to vent the hatred in my heart! As long as that punk comes out, I''ll let him know what''s called a fate worse than death!"


    Just as she was talking, Yi Han felt something and looked in the direction of the ruins.


    Mo Han got a huge shock too and said, "The array formation �� vanished!"


    The three people were first startled, then immediately revealed ecstatic looks.


    Inside these ancient ruins, there were clearly many treasures hidden.


    Even if they only obtained a fiend lord mystic treasure, it was a tremendous harvest too!


    Suddenly, Yi Han''s brows furrowed and she said, "Something''s amiss! This array formation was fine, so how could it disappear? Could it be �� a scam?"


    Mo Han also felt that it was rather somewhat odd. After ruminating for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Most likely, the inheritance in this ancient ruins is already acquired by Source Night that punk. That''s why the array formation would disappear."


    Talking up to here, he laughed savagely and said, "As long as we capture that brat, all of the treasures will all belong to us!"


    The other two people''s eyes also shone, revealing incomparably scorching looks.


    They knew that Di Fan only made it through eight rounds and already obtained a low-grade divine lord mystic treasure.


    Ye Yuan made it through 18 rounds and also stayed inside for three months. The inheritance obtained, just thinking about it made people feel excited.


    Yi Han suddenly said, "My two elder brothers, if the treasures are very few, Yi Han doesn''t want anything. If there are many treasures, Yi Han only asks for a fiend lord mystic treasure to be by my side. The rest will all belong to the two elder brothers, is that okay?"


    Yi Han was very smart, making concessions in order to gain advantages.


    She already lowered her attitude very low and only asked for one fiend lord mystic treasure. This request was really not considered overboard.


    Otherwise, if the three people had a dispute, she probably could not even scoop up anything.


    Mo Han two people exchanged a glance and said with a nod, "No problem, this request isn''t overboard! If there aren''t many treasures, we can''t get a single one either. All of them have to be presented to the hall. If there are many, there is no cause for much criticism for us to keep a few pieces in private."


    "Then let''s �� rush in now?" Zi Chen said.


    Mo Han smiled and said, "Rush in for what? Isn''t it fine to sit and wait here? That brat obtained the inheritance, could it be that he still won''t come out?"


    Zi Chen''s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "That makes sense!"


    The three people exchanged a glance and smiled, immediately vanishing from where they stood.


    Not long after, a figure slowly appeared at the hall''s entrance. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    After coming out, Ye Yuan appeared very cautious, pulling out the Junyi Sword with a vigilant look.


    When Yi Han three people hiding in the void saw this scene, how could they still endure? They directly revealed themselves, surrounding Ye Yuan.


    "Master Source Night, long time no see!" Mo Han said with a smile that was not a smile.


    But Yi Han said coldly, "Source Night, you tricked me so bitterly! Today, I''m going to make you regret having been born in this world!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, his figure moved swiftly, directly speeding over into the abode.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Yi Han''s mouth and she said, "Running? Can you run?"


    As she said, Yi Han waved a hand. A powerful world power instantly wrapped Ye Yuan up.


    She thought that Ye Yuan did not have the leeway to resist in front of the world power at all.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually directly ignored her power of the world and dashed into the ruins.


    The three people''s expressions changed. They did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so troublesome.


    "Chase him!"


    The three people exchanged a glance, immediately making a decision.


    With this alerting of the enemy, Ye Yuan probably would not come out anymore.


    Either way, the array formation already disappeared, what did they still have to be afraid of?


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Three figures followed closely behind Ye Yuan, sweeping into the ruins.


    The three people followed Ye Yuan, their speed swift to the extreme.


    Suddenly, there was a blurry scene before their eyes, arriving inside a great hall.


    This great hall was a dead end, Ye Yuan had nowhere to run anymore!


    Yi Han sneered and said, "Run! Aren''t you very capable at running?"


    Mo Han also smiled and said, "Master Source Night, we haven''t seen each other for three months, isn''t coming out to reminiscence about old times good? Run for what?"


    But Zi Chen''s expression turned dark and he said, "Kid, hand over all of the treasures you obtained and I''ll make it painless for you!"


    But entering the hall, Ye Yuan changed expressions. The original tension and vigilance had all but disappeared. What replaced it was indescribable calmness.


    The calmness of being in control of everything!


    "Huhu, reminiscing about old days outside, that isn''t the way to treat guests. Therefore, I invited the three of you in. Now, we can talk about the old days," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    The three people''s expressions changed and Yi Han said in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"


    "Heh, trying to scare us? Kid, with our current distance, as long as I move my finger, you''re dead!" Mo Han said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "Is that so? I don''t even need to move a finger and you''ll be dead."


    When Mo Han heard, he could not refrain from bursting into laughter and said, "This hall master really grew up being scared! Then I want to see whether you not taking action is faster, or me making a move is faster!"


    Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of fear and said with a faint smile, "Then your meaning is �� no need to reminiscence about the old days anymore?"


    Mo Han''s expression suddenly became savage and he shouted fiercely, "Reminiscence your uncle! This hall master will tear you into pieces right now!"


    Finished talking, a horrifying aura spread out. Mo Han really extended a finger and pointed at Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, an even more horrifying aura suddenly filled the great hall.


    Three streaks of flowing light descended from the sky, directly falling towards the three people.


    Mo Han''s power of the world had yet to condense. Under this horrifying stream of light, he did not have the slightest strength to resist and was directly annihilated without even crying out.


    Three mighty fiend lord powerhouses were obliterated by the Purple Extreme Hall just like this.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene expressionlessly and said with a sigh, "My 150 million divine essence stones, how many spirit medicines could this purchase! Forget it, forget it, can''t stay in this place for too long, better leave first."


    Rumble ��


    The incomparably colossal ancient ruins actually shrunk rapidly, making the mountains tremble.


    Finally, the Purple Extreme Hall turned into a grain of dust and whirled away in the direction of the human race.

 1530 Guide

    Outside of the ruins, two figures quietly appeared.


    These two people were precisely Di En and Heavenstar who left and returned.


    After several months of rest and recuperation, Heavenstar''s injuries were a little better.


    But the damage that the Soul Suppressing Pearl caused to him was too great. Without 30 to 50 years, he could forget about recovering.


    The two people appeared here because they lost contact with Yi Han and the others.


    Looking at the empty mountains, the two people''s eyes revealed extreme shock.


    "I didn''t expect that these ancient ruins themselves are the greatest treasure!" Di En''s eyes were filled with regret.


    If he had long known this was the case, he would guard here without moving a step and absolutely not let the Purple Extreme Hall escape.


    The corners of Heavenstar''s mouth also kept twitching and he said with gnashed teeth, "That kid has obtained no idea how much benefits! I wish to crush him into dregs right now!!"


    The one with the greatest losses was Heavenstar.


    The Blood Soul Curse that he had spent an immeasurable price to nurture was already completely destroyed now.


    He even subserviently gave the Profound Yellow Cauldron to Ye Yuan in order to ingratiate himself to Ye Yuan.


    Finally, he even had his soul force devoured by the Soul Suppressing Pearl, almost perishing.


    Now, he also discovered that Ye Yuan moved the entire ruins away. How could he not be furious?


    "Puhwark!"


    Thinking of the detestable aspects aggravated his injuries, Heavenstar spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Di En gave him a glance rather pitifully and said with a sigh, "There''s some trouble now! There''s totally no way to find out this kid''s origins. Source Night this name appeared very suddenly too. Now, he''s gone. We also don''t have any head or tail if we want to track him."


    Hearing Di En''s words, Heavenstar almost spewed out another mouthful of old blood.


    Nothing was more sorrowful than this. He actually did not even know who his opponent was!


    "Could it be that �� we''re going to let him off just like this?" Heavenstar said unwillingly.


    Di En smiled coldly and said, "Let him off? How is that possible! Suffering such a huge loss, do you think that Lord Hall Master will let him off? Relax, even though there isn''t his news for the time being, a genius such as him, the light can''t be hidden! How can an alchemist capable of triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody be buried in the dust?"


    ...


    The imperial city''s prosperity was far from what capital cities could compare to. Not anybody had the qualifications to enter too.


    Entering the imperial city required paying divine essence stones.


    Ye Yuan looked at the clearly marked prices on the city gates and the corners of his mouth could not help twitching too.


    Ten-day temporary token, 500 low-grade divine essence stones.


    One-year temporary token, 5000 low-grade divine essence stones.


    Ten-year temporary token, 50 thousand low-grade divine essence stones.


    100-year temporary token, 500 thousand low-grade divine essence stones.


    Permanent token, 50 million low-grade divine essence stones.


    Inside the imperial city, people without identity tokens would be directly blotted out.


    When the token expired, people who remained behind would be directly annihilated.


    This price, ordinary martial artists could not afford it at all!


    An Origin Deity Realm martial artist''s entire net worth was merely a million low-grade divine essence stones.


    This was also to say that an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse spending all of his assets could only stay in the imperial city for several hundred years.


    Several hundred years of time were merely a snap of a finger to an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse.


    Furthermore, spending so much divine essence stones, it was also just buying an identity token.


    Want to survive in the imperial city, one still needed to find a place to stay. That was also another considerable expense.


    Hence, wanting to stay in the Imperial city, one needed to keep making money continuously!


    But even if it was so expensive, there were still countless powerhouses that flocked here like ducks.


    Imperial city and capital city were two entirely different concepts.


    At the beginning of each imperial city''s establishment, enormous spirit gathering formations would be set up underground.


    The spiritual energy in imperial cities was extremely plentiful. Staying here, even you did not deliberately cultivate, the growth rate of divine essence could also compare to capital cities.


    Hence, even if this identity token was more expensive, people would still yearn for this place.


    And the divine essence stones collected each year by the imperial city''s city lord manor was an astronomical figure.


    "Next!" The city guard selling tokens said lazily.


    "A 200-year identity token." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    That city guard''s eyebrows raised, looking at Ye Yuan with some surprise.


    Rich!


    When purchasing temporary identity tokens, most were one year or ten year periods. A 100-year period was seriously too expensive. The average person could not afford it at all.


    Ye Yuan could feel the richness of the imperial city''s spiritual energy. This made him rather moved.


    If he could, he planned on settling down here.


    One million divine essence stones were just a light drizzle to the Ye Yuan who was in possession of five billion.


    "Tsk tsk, no idea which capital city''s young master this is, so rich!"


    "Sigh, the life of a magnate always makes people envy."


    "Comparing people to people is indeed odious! If I had so much money, how good would it be!"


    ...


    The city guard gave Ye Yuan a profound glance and handed two tokens to him.


    Ye Yuan received the token indifferently and left.


    "Heh, another hothead. Reckon that a few days after entering the city, he''ll be toyed to death by people," the city guard said with a laugh to his companion.


    "Haha, that isn''t something that we have to worry about. As long as it doesn''t cause too much trouble, it''s fine," his companion said with a laugh.


    The two people''s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan leaving had a gloating look.


    Ye Yuan had just entered the city gates and a bunch of men by the roadside came up to greet.


    "Heh, this little brother looks very unfamiliar, first time entering the city, right? Want a guide or not? I''m called Ah Four. Not that I''m bragging to you, this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s major streets and small alleys, there isn''t one that I''m not familiar with! One day just needs ten pieces of divine essence stones, equally honest with the elderly and young children!"


    "Little Brother, don''t listen to him talk nonsense. I, Hu San, am the know-all here!"


    "Little Brother, let me be a guide, guarantee your satisfaction!"


    ...


    A group of men clamored to get a word in, directly surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.


    The imperial city''s boundary was too big. It was not what can be familiarized in two or three days.


    Many people were only very familiar with a small region after staying here for a year.


    Therefore, it gave birth to being a guide, this occupation.


    When newcomers entered the city for the first time, they did not know their way at all.


    Ye Yuan came to find Little Fatty. Without a guide leading the way, he would probably have to take quite a few detours.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and directly threw ten pieces of divine essence stones to that Ah Four and said coolly, "You then, bring me to the Myriad Treasure Tower."


    This Ah Four looked very slick, his reaction was very sharp too.


    With him leading the way, perhaps it could save considerable trouble. Hence, Ye Yuan chose him.


    Ah Four received the divine essence stones and said with an excited look, "Okay!"


    Finished talking, Ah Four led Ye Yuan away.


    The other guys all revealed disappointed looks. But after the two people went far away, they started discussing.


    "What a big fat sheep. Didn''t even bat an eyelid taking out a million divine essence stones!"


    "Ah Four this punk is too crafty. A moment of carelessness and he took the lead again."


    "Done with this job, Ah Four this kid probably doesn''t need to come out and work for a while."


    ...


    Ye Yuan already left and naturally could not hear these people''s discussions. Ah Four was currently introducing to Ye Yuan the imperial city''s local customs and practices with spittle flying everywhere.

 1531 Chill at the Balls

    "Little Brother really has a sharp eye for discerning people. I, Ah Four, am a famous living map in the southern city! The matters in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there''s none that I don''t know!" Ah Four''s saliva flew everywhere.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, "Then you tell me about this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s situation."


    Ah Four had an excited look as he said, "Heh, this isn''t a problem ��"


    Ah Four started to spew things unceasingly, introducing the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s structure.


    The Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was divided into a total of five major regions, north, south, east, west, four cities, as well as the inner city.


    Within the imperial city, ranks were extremely stringent. The people of the four cities were prohibited from entering the inner city without getting permission.


    Those who disobey were killed without amnesty.


    And the prime requirement for entering the inner city was to possess the identity of a permanent residence, which was also the permanent token!


    50 million divine essence stones made the vast majority of the people shrink back.


    North, south, east, west, four cities, could be said to be the commoner areas, dragons and carps mingled together.


    The region that Ye Yuan was at right now was the south city.


    The south city was ruled by six major factions, the Dongfang Family, Zhao Family, Sun Family, three great families, as well as the Dragon Slaying Gang, Silverfeather Gang, as well as the Sun Moon Gang, three great gangs.


    The three great families monopolized the south city''s economic lifeblood, while the three great gangs dominated the market.


    The three people chatted as they walked and already passed through quite a few streets.


    The streets bustled with heavy traffic; very flourishing.


    Whoosh!


    The three people were currently walking when a large group of people rushed out all of a sudden, surrounding the three people.


    When the neighbors saw this scene, quite a few people all gathered together, seemingly already accustomed to it.


    "The Dragon Slaying Gang is bullying newcomers again. This kid is also unlucky, why did he find Ah Four?"


    "This kid has refined features and bright eyes, looks like a young master. One look and it''s clear that he hasn''t seen much of life. No wonder he would fall for it."


    "Hope that this kid is more sensible, saves himself a bout of beating too."


    ...


    There was a scar on the face of the person in front, looking very ferocious.


    He sized Ye Yuan up and down, just like a greedy wild wolf.


    "Ah Four, this fat sheep that you brought this time looks pretty good!" said the scar-faced man with a smile.


    Ah Four went up to greet subserviently and said smilingly with an arched waist, "Hall Master Hu, it''s more than pretty good! This kid spent a million divine essence stones without even furrowing a brow."


    The scar-faced man''s brows raised up and he said delightedly, "Yo, it''s really a big fish! Ah Four, you did a good job this time. Later, you''ll get 5000!"


    The moment Ah Four heard, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Hall Master Hu! Many thanks, Hall Master Hu!"


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene rather interestedly and said coolly, "So �� you''re not planning on bringing me to the Myriad Treasure Tower, are you?"


    The moment the scar-faced man heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Myriad Treasure Tower? Hahaha �� we are. Leave behind all the divine essence stones on your body, Grandpa Hu won''t care where you go."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If I say no?"


    The moment the scar-faced man heard this, he said with a smile that was not a smile, "Every newcomer is very stubborn when they enter the city. But later, they become even more obedient like the dog at my house. Ah Four didn''t tell you how strong this south city''s Dragon Slaying Gang is? And I''m the Dragon Slaying Gang''s Azurewood Hall''s hall master, Hu Azurewood."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Dragon Slaying Gang? Truly a fine name!"


    Ye Yuan was born as half of the dragon race. This bunch of guys actually named the gang Dragon Slaying Gang. Wasn''t it coming to slay him?


    Hu Azurewood laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Is that so? I also feel that the name Dragon Slaying Gang is very domineering! Haha, but even if you curry favor, it''s no use too! Hurry up and hand over the divine essence stones on you. Otherwise �� your Grandpa Hu will teach you how to behave properly today!"


    A cold light appeared in Ye Yuan''s eyes, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.


    Hu Azurewood had yet to react to what happened and Ye Yuan stood in front of him once more.


    His expression turned dark and he pointed at Ye Yuan and said, "Brat, what are you playing at?"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said to Long Zhan, "Let''s go! Uh, bring him along."


    Long Zhan nodded and directly reached his hand out and grabbed toward Ah Four.


    Ah Four was merely Heaven Glimpse Realm cultivation. How was he Long Zhan''s match? Long Zhan knocked him out with one slap, then dragged him away like dragging a dead dog.


    "Want to go? Have you asked your Grandpa Hu?"


    Hu Azurewood shouted loudly and was about to make a move.


    Suddenly, he felt a chill below his crotch.


    "Hahahaha!"


    The surrounding neighbors all started roaring with laughter.


    Turns out that the moment these dozen over people made their move, their pants all fell down.


    Now, they only felt a chill at their balls.


    "Laughing at what?! Laugh again and we''ll smash your shops!"


    Hu Azurewood, a big grown man, was blushing scarlet red at this time.


    But his prestige still had an effect. Everyone indeed did not dare to laugh anymore.


    It was just that each and every one was stifled until their faces were bright red; very uncomfortable.


    He hurriedly picked up his pants and said with a livid look, "This kid''s realm isn''t high, but his strength is actually so strong! If he wanted to kill us just now, we''d all be dead men now!"


    Hu Azurewood was a middle-stage Origin Deity expert. The subordinates that he brought even had five or six initial-stage Origin Deity.


    This level of strength already could not be ignored in the south city. Who knew that they were brought down by a young man with one sword.


    Hu Azurewood did not see clearly how Ye Yuan drew his sword just now at all.


    A look of horror appeared in Hu Azurewood''s eyes. He, a middle-stage Origin Deity, actually could not even see how an initial-stage Origin Deity drew his sword. This was too scary!


    The sight of a dozen over burly men picking up their pants and running on the streets was very spectacular.


    ...


    Ah Four slowly woke up. Seeing the ferocious Long Zhan with malice written all over his face, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.


    "Spare me! Your Excellency, spare me! This lowly one �� this lowly one was compelled against his will too!"


    Ah Four knelt on the ground and begged with snot and tears running.


    "I asked around earlier, the south city doesn''t have a Myriad Treasure Tower at all! The Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Myriad Treasure Tower is in the inner city!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ah Four trembled all over and said, "I �� I have a way of contacting the inner city! I �� I''ll definitely help Your Excellency contact the Myriad Treasure Tower!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Talking with smart people is effort-saving. It''s just too bad that your judgment is too poor."


    Ah Four cried bitterness when he heard that. How could he have thought that a kid who had just entered Origin Deity would actually have such formidable strength?


    When Ye Yuan attacked with his sword, he only felt a gust of wind blow past and did not see anything at all.


    This kind of speed was simply too terrifying.


    Origin Deity Realm powerhouses attacking, Ah Four had naturally seen before quite a few. But he had never seen before such terrifying sword arts.


    If he had long known it was like this, lend him a few galls and he would not dare as well!


    "Your Excellency �� it was all Ah Four who had eyes but couldn''t see! But Your Excellency rest assured, Ah Four have never thought of harming Your Excellency''s life before! Hall Master Hu they all are only seeking wealth and won''t harm lives," Ah Four said with a trembling voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If you all have killing intent aroused, then it wouldn''t be as simple as pants dropping."


    Ah Four shuddered all over, only then, knowing that he had already made a trip to the gates of hell and back.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said, "Let''s go."


    Ah Four froze and said, "Go where?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Bring me to the Dragon Slaying Gang''s headquarters."

 1532 Your Esteemed Gang, Please Change Name

    "Y-Y-Y-Your Excellency, just spare me! When they see that it''s me who brought you over, they will kill me!"


    Getting closer and closer to the Dragon Slaying Gang''s headquarters, Ah Four''s legs went soft and could not walk at all.


    Long Zhan carried him like carrying a little chick.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and smiled broadly and said, "Aren''t you afraid that I''ll kill you?"


    Ah Four''s eyes saw black, and he directly fainted.


    In this imperial city, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist like Ah Four was a small character, with only the share of running errands. How could he dare to offend one of the six great factions, the Dragon Slaying Gang?


    As one of the six great factions, the Dragon Slaying Gang''s headquarters was very grand.


    On the door plaque, ''Dragon Slaying Gang'' three big words were written using a domineering font; very eye-catching.


    Outside the headquarters'' front door, five to six peak Heaven Glimpse martial artists were standing guard, giving the impression to deter strangers and giving warning to stay away.


    Seeing Ye Yuan draw close, even though they discerned that Ye Yuan was an Origin Deity powerhouse, the few people did not take him seriously at all and reproached him. One said, "Didn''t you see what place this is? Get lost!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Raising his hand, it was a slash.


    Crack!


    The plaque that had ''Dragon Slaying Gang'', three words, engraved, immediately turned into a pile of dust.


    Those few guards got a huge fright, suddenly startling awake and saying with an angry roar, "Punk, are you courting death? Do you know what you''ve done?"


    They naturally did not dare to attack Ye Yuan. But they still dared to threaten.


    Normally, they were all used to playing the tyrant.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over them and said coolly, "Get your leader out. I''m finding them to discuss some matters."


    The six people opened their eyes wide, looking at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool.


    This guy destroyed the Dragon Slaying Gang''s door head and did not think about escaping, but actually still wanted to see the leader. Was this tired of living?


    "P-Punk, you wait! Don''t run if you have the guts!" said a guard.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, I won''t run."


    That guard said to the others, "You all keep an eye on him, don''t let him run. I''ll go and find Fifth Head over!"


    Before long, that guard led a big man with a stocky and imposing build toward them. Presumably, it was that whatever fifth head.


    The fifth head had a fierce-looking body, faintly exuding golden light. Clearly, he was a body-refinement expert.


    "Fifth Head, it''s that kid! He smashed our signboard without saying a word when he came over!" said the guard and pointed at Ye Yuan.


    When he saw Ye Yuan, he immediately roared loudly, "Hoy! Where did this brat come from, to dare smash my Dragon Slaying Gang''s signboard?! Prepare to die! Chasing Thunder Heaven Splitting Fist!"


    The fifth head was clearly a barbaric man. Giving no chance to explain, he directly smashed a fist toward Ye Yuan.


    With this, the fifth head radiated resplendently with golden light. His fleshy body actually already reached late-stage third transformation.


    This level of body-refinement strength virtually swept across all in the same rank.


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing previously immediately had a large pit smashed out by the fifth head.


    "Humph! Blind and reckless brat, became a meat pancake now, right? Come, men! Clean it up!" The fifth head patted his hands and said lightly.


    "F-Fifth Head, b-behind!" The guard had an expression like he saw a ghost and said quiveringly.


    The fifth head suddenly trembled, turning around to look. He discovered that a sharp long sword was currently pointed between his eyebrows.


    The power of laws leaking out on the tip of the sword made the fifth head palpitate.


    Such swift speed!


    He, a late-stage third transformation golden body, actually could not keep up with an initial-stage Heaven Glimpse''s speed!


    This �� was too terrifying!


    A powerful physical body did not mean being impervious to swords and spears.


    The head was clearly still a vulnerable spot of a body-refinement powerhouse.


    As long as Ye Yuan''s divine essence urged, he would take flight to the land of immortals.


    The fifth head broke out in a cold sweat and said stammeringly, "Little Brother, if �� if there''s anything �� we can sort it out."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I wanted to talk nicely, it was you who didn''t give me the chance."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there.


    The fifth head''s heart turned fearful. An initial-stage Origin Deity actually had such daunting strength.


    Could it be that this guy came out of the inner city?


    In the fifth head''s view, only those peak geniuses in the inner city had such terrifying strength.


    For a moment, many thoughts flashed across in the fifth head''s heart.


    The muscles on the fifth head''s face twitched several times and he said with an awkward smile, "This �� Little Brother, you tore down our signboard the moment you came up, it makes it very hard for Meng Huo!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I''m very understanding, so you''re not dead yet."


    The fifth head had an embarrassed look and said, "Little Brother, I wonder what you tore down our signboard first? Could it be that �� our Dragon Slaying Gang offended little brother? Which bastard was it? As long as little brother says it out, I''ll definitely beat that bastard to death!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "There was indeed someone who blocked the road to commit highway robbery, saying that it was to teach newcomers."


    Meng Huo''s expression turned stiff and said, "N-Newcomer? You didn''t come out of the inner city?"


    Ye Yuan said, "It''s my first day entering the city today. Didn''t expect that I encounter your esteemed gang''s preferential treatment."


    Meng Huo was speechless. Robbing rich newcomers, this was something that all of the gangs would do.


    He did not expect that they actually kicked a metal plate this time.


    The strength of this kid in front of him, even though the Dragon Slaying Gang did not fear him, he reckoned that it at least needed the third head to take care of him too.


    But speaking of it, it was coincidental. The first few heads went to discuss matters with the Silverfeather Gang today and were all not around!


    "But �� I didn''t come here today for this matter," Ye Yuan continued talking.


    Meng Huo was stunned, not this matter?


    "Little Brother feel free to say what you have! Our Dragon Slaying Gang still has some power in the south city. As long as we can do it, we definitely won''t refuse," Meng Huo patted his chest and said.


    While Meng Huo was rash, he was not stupid.


    Ye Yuan had such terrifying strength at a young age. At least in this south city, few people could do anything to him.


    As long as he was willing to join any faction, that was a hegemon of a region!


    These kinds of people were not good to offend.


    At least before the boss returned, they could not offend.


    He could not suppress this kid!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with a smile, "That''s good then. I want �� your esteemed gang to please change name."


    Meng Huo was stunned. His expression suddenly turned dark and he said, "Punk, the name Dragon Slaying Gang has already been used for several thousand years! You''re �� deliberately finding fault?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nay, nay, it''s just that �� your name has violated my taboo!"


    Meng Huo''s face turned dark and he said, "What a joke! Who the hell are you? Violated your taboo and we have to change name? If �� I say no?"


    Meng Huo was a man with a hot-blooded nature too. It was impossible to change names because of a word from Ye Yuan.


    Moreover, this was also not something that he could make the call on.


    But changing names, this kind of thing, had too much impact on the gang. The few heads absolutely would not change the name easily.


    Moreover, even if they really changed the name, it also could not be changed because of a brat.


    If this were to spread out, how would their Dragon Slaying Gang still keep a foothold in the south city?


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Give you guys three days to consider. After three days, I''ll come again. If you guys are still not willing to change that name when the time comes, then �� all of your branches will be eliminated! If you don''t believe me, you can go ahead and give it a try!"

 1533 Im Not Here to Compete

    "Mn? Change name? Just an initial-stage Origin Deity? Ol'' Fifth, are you teasing me?"


    The Dragon Slaying Gang''s boss, Yue Qingfeng, looked at Meng Huo with a suspicious look, incredulity written all over his face.


    An initial-stage Origin Deity making the Dragon Slaying Gang change name. Ol'' Fifth actually did not slap him to death with one slap!


    Furthermore, why did they have to change their name?


    Dragon Slaying Gang, it sounded so domineering!


    Meng Huo''s expression was very ugly. He did not wish to admit that Ye Yuan''s strength was greater than him. That was too shameful.


    A late-stage third transformation golden body actually lost to an initial-stage Origin Deity Realm. If this incident were to spread out, he would become the entire south city''s laughingstock.


    "You don''t know, Big Brother. This kid''s movement technique is very fast. A moment of carelessness and he slipped past. Even though our headquarters isn''t afraid of him, it''s hard to say for the branches below!"


    Meng Huo''s eyes swiveled around, changing to a roundabout way of saying things.


    The people who saw this incident, he sent down a gag order.


    Either way, if that punk dared to come three days later, it was also death.


    Big Brother Yue Qingfeng was a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse. Even if that punk could go to the heavens, Boss could also smack him down.


    But Yue Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "Ignore him. A little brat, how big a wave can he stir up? The day after tomorrow, we''re going to negotiate with the Silverfeather Gang about the jurisdiction of the Qianting Three Streets. That''s the major matter!"


    Qianting Three Streets, that was the juncture area of the Dragon Slaying Gang and Silverfeather Gang, two great gangs, and also the wealthiest three streets, collectively known as the Qiantian Three Streets.


    Both forces had been playing games all along. For the sake of these three streets, they had come to blows no idea how many times and had never decided on the ownership of these three streets.


    Today, Yue Qingfeng brought people to go and negotiate, it was in order to settle the Silverfeather Gang.


    But the result was very obvious, parting on a sour note.


    The moment Meng Huo heard this, he also came around and said solemnly, "Why didn''t agree on it today? That bunch of grandsons, got to give them a good one this time!"


    Yue Qingfeng said, "Now, the conflict lies with the Qianting middle street. The Silverfeather Gang, that bunch of bastards, insists on monopolizing the Qianting middle street. Heh, Qianting middle street, they occupy two at once. They really dared to open their mouths!"


    The moment Meng Huo heard, he was greatly enraged and said, "Damn it! The Qianting three streets were originally our territory. They still went from bad to worse? Boss, let Meng Huo go and take the charge this time, I will beat all of them down!"


    One should not look at how Meng Huo just had a late-stage third transformation golden body. His strength was actually very formidable.


    Facing off with a grand completion Origin Deity, he could also rely on his powerful physical body to forcefully contend.


    It was just too bad that who he encountered was Ye Yuan.


    His speed was crushed until not even dregs remained in front of Ye Yuan.


    A hint of fierceness flashed across in Yue Qingfeng''s eyes and he said, "Heh, this is also the last negotiation! If they still continue to pester with unreasonable demands, the negotiations the day after tomorrow will be when we lose all decorum!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan entered an inn and asked for two rooms. One for himself, Long Zhan brought Ah Four to stay in the other.


    The intestines of the Ah Four who just woke up turned green with regret, feeling like the entire world was collapsing.


    Why was he blind? To provoke such an ominous god!


    Even if he could escape the calamity this time, the Dragon Slaying Gang, that bunch of fellows, would not let him off either.


    Because he still had to bring Ye Yuan to go and wipe out the Dragon Slaying Gang''s branches.


    Counting on the Dragon Slaying Gang to change names?


    Better save it!


    As for Ye Yuan, he let Ah Four bring him to purchase a batch of rank three spirit medicines in the south city, and plunged into the great undertaking of researching Three-star divine pills.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan had long already fully digested Three-star divine pills'' theoretical knowledge and also purchased many spirit medicines along the way.


    Regarding Three-star divine pills, Ye Yuan could be said to improve at god-speed.


    Ye Yuan discovered that ever since triggering the Great Dao Heavenly Melody the last time, his Alchemy Dao seemed to have entered a brand new realm.


    Regarding the cultivation of Three-star divine pills, Ye Yuan''s speed was much faster than before instead.


    Now, with the Purple Extreme Hall, this flying sharp weapon, Ye Yuan could spare even more time to understand Alchemy Dao.


    Flying for several years along the way, Ye Yuan spent several decades inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space.


    His current alchemy strength was already sufficient to insta-kill a group of Three-star alchemy gods.


    But regarding research of Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan never knew exhaustion. These three days'' time, he did not plan on wasting it either. Hence, he entered the World Suppressing Stele''s space to cultivate again.


    Three days later, Ye Yuan slowly went to the Dragon Slaying Gang''s headquarters by himself.


    It was still those few guards. But when Ye Yuan saw them, he discovered that these guards all had very flustered expressions, and could not help being somewhat perplexed.


    His strength was not to the extent of making the Dragon Slaying Gang panic like this, right?


    "Hey, I came again. Go and get your boss over, just say that the one who asked you all to change names came," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    One of the guards had a panicky look and immediately went in to report.


    Before long, two leader-like middle-aged men came out of the headquarters.


    "Third Brother, it''s this kid!" Meng Huo pointed at Ye Yuan and said.


    Third Head frowned and looked at Ye Yuan, and said with anger on his face: "Kid, you''re tired of living, right? To actually dare make fun of our Dragon Slaying Gang?"


    Ye Yuan gave the third head a glance and looked at Meng Huo again, saying, "Then your meaning is that you''re not changing it?"


    "Change your head! Your Grandpa Fan is currently pissed today and has nowhere to vent. You, kid, knocked onto the spearhead! I will twist your head off right now and let you know the outcome of making fun of my Dragon Slaying Gang!"


    Third Head gave a loud roar and directly brandished a large broad blade, hacking down towards Ye Yuan''s head.


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up. He noticed the injuries on this third head''s body did not seem to be light.


    Clank!


    The third head''s endlessly howling blade actually hit nothing!


    "Third Brother, be careful! He''s behind you!" Meng Huo cried out in shock.


    The third head got a big shock and hurriedly turned around and swung his blade.


    Clank! Clank! Clank.


    A series of metal clashing sounds made everyone dumbfounded.


    An initial-stage Origin Deity actually fought with the grand completion Origin Deity Third Head until neither could gain the upper hand?


    Where did this kid pop out from?


    The more Third Head fought, the more alarmed he got. He actually could not quite keep up with Ye Yuan''s speed.


    This kid''s movement technique was erratic, like a ghost; coming and going like a shadow.


    Clearly looked like the sword was still very far away. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of him.


    Too bizarre!


    He was still scolding Ol'' Fifth useless previously. Only now did he know this kid''s terror.


    "Stop!"


    Third Head shouted loudly, pulling apart distance from Ye Yuan.


    "Boy, you''re very strong! But if I wasn''t injured, you wouldn''t be my match at all!" the third head said with a dark expression.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "I''m not here to compete with you, I''m here to get you guys to change names! It looks like you guys take my warning to be like water rolling off a duck''s back. Very good, starting from tomorrow, have your branches be prepared, I''ll go and tear them down one by one."


    The third head''s expression turned stiff and was really quite scared in his heart.


    Ye Yuan''s movement technique was too scary. Even if he was not his match, if Ye Yuan wanted to leave, he could not stop it either!


    Right at this time, a guard suddenly ran out and shouted, "Third Head, Fifth Head! Second Head he �� he''s almost on his last legs!"

 1534 Offended People

    The third head and the fifth head''s expressions changed drastically at the same time, turned around, and was about to enter the headquarters.


    "Kid, Grandpa Fan has no time to reason it out with you today, my bro is going to die! Whatever there is, talk another day!" Third Head said a sentence to Ye Yuan and turned around, going to enter inside.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. It looked like this Dragon Slaying Gang seemed to have just experienced a great battle. No wonder the injuries on this third head''s body were not light.


    He ruminated a little and suddenly spoke up, "Hey, why don''t I go in and take a look too. Uh �� I''m an alchemist, uh �� My standard is still okay."


    Ye Yuan was afraid that the other party did not like him and added a sentence, blowing his own trumpet a bit while he was at it.


    The third head was stunned and said angrily, "Punk, I don''t have time to waste with you here! Scram further away for me!"


    Ye Yuan smiled without any care and said, "Going to die either way, you just treat it as a Hail Mary effort. If I can really save him but you don''t let me save, then your second head will also be angry until he climbs out of the grave to scold you if he dies."


    The third head choked and did not have time to think too much, and said vigilantly, "Punk, I''m warning you, Big Brother is inside too. He''s a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse. If you dare to play tricks, I guarantee that I''ll die until not even dregs remain!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and followed the two people in the Dragon Slaying Gang''s headquarters.


    On the bed, a burly man was on his dying breath. It was evident that his hours were numbered.


    "Master Wu Feng, could it be that there''s really no way? My second brother he �� in order to block this arrow, otherwise �� the one who''s dead should be me! Master Wu Feng, as long as you can save me, I can agree to any terms!"


    A middle-aged man had very red eyes and was currently pleading to an old man for help.


    This middle-aged man should be the Dragon Slaying Gang''s boss, that half-step Divine Lord powerhouse.


    Master Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Everyone should be aware of the Thunder Chasing Arrow''s prowess. The second head''s heart meridians have already been severed. Furthermore, there''s the Crimson Fire Bone Corroding Poison on the arrowhead. This old man has already tried his best, Chief Head, please restrain your grief and accord with inevitable changes."


    The moment these words came out, the chief head''s eyes revealed a look of despair. Tears actually already welled up in his eyes.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being slightly surprised.


    This scene did not seem to be fake, but true sentiments flowing. It made Ye Yuan give rise to some favorable impression towards this Dragon Slaying Gang.


    "Why not �� I give it a try." Ye Yuan glanced at the second head lying on the bed and suddenly spoke up.


    The moment he spoke up, everyone looked over.


    "Who is he?" The chief head''s gaze turned intent and said suspiciously.


    The third head''s expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "Big Brother, he''s �� that punk who wants us to change names."


    The chief head''s expression turned dark and he said with a cold shout, "Messing around!"


    Right now, everyone was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, but he let an enemy enter inside here. Was this �� trying to be funny?


    The chief head felt a wave of irritation in his head. Lifting his hand, it was a palm, striking toward Ye Yuan.


    The palm of a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    He could not find a venue to give vent under his violent rage and just nice used Ye Yuan to vent.


    But Ye Yuan was immovable like a mountain as he opened his mouth and said indifferently, "Hey, if you kill me, he''s really going to die."


    The chief head''s palm wind abruptly stopped and he said in a solemn voice, "You can really save me?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I can save him. But I have a condition, you know it."


    Chief Head''s expression turned stiff, a strange expression involuntarily surfaced on his face.


    Did the name that was used for several thousand years really have to be changed?


    The chief head''s expression turned dark as he said, "If you can really save my brother, what''s the harm in changing names!"


    At this time, Wu Feng suddenly spoke up, "Chief Head is truly laughing it off too easily. This kid is merely initial-stage Origin Deity. Could it be that he can still compare to this old man in alchemy? Even this old man is at his wit''s end, what method can he have?"


    The chief head''s expression changed and he thought, yeah!


    This guy wouldn''t be intentionally making a fool out of him, right?


    Master Wu Feng was a high-rank Three-star alchemist. In the land of the south city, there was none who was more powerful than him.


    Even he was helpless. Could this kid still ascend to the heavens?


    "Brat, you dare to mess with me?" The chief head''s expression turned sullen, his gaze staring at Ye Yuan sternly as he said those words.


    The chief head gave a cold snort and was just about to fly off the handle, but heard the third head say, "Boss, why not �� let him try! This kid �� is peculiar!"


    The chief head froze, revealing a look of surprise.


    He knew that Ol'' Third was prudent and would not shoot his mouth off.


    Could it be that this kid really had some skills?


    Wu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Third Head, you''re insulting this old man here! Forget it, since you guys don''t trust this old man, then this old man is also making a fool of myself by staying here! Goodbye! Uh �� also, since you guys believe a brat who''s still wet behind the ears than be willing to believe this old man, then in the future �� don''t come and find this old man anymore!"


    Finished talking, Wu Feng flicked his sleeves and left.


    The moment Chief Head heard, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    Wu Feng''s status in the south city was unmatched. Saying that he was the south city''s number one alchemist was also not over the top. His calling power was extremely strong.


    In order to build relations with Wu Feng, the Dragon Slaying Gang had to spend a large amount of divine essence stones every year to be able to invite him.


    Otherwise, how could Wu Feng be what the average person could invite?


    Offending this great deity, the Dragon Slaying Gang''s days in the future would be tough!


    The chief head hurriedly chased after and said, "Master Wu Feng, this �� we were also worried about Second Brother''s life, that''s why we would be like this. We really didn''t have the intention of disrespecting Master. Master, please don''t get angry!"


    Wu Feng gave a cold laugh and said, "That''s your business, what has it got to do with me? Do you think that alchemy skills can be learned in a day or two? It''s already not bad for such a kid who''s still wet behind his ears to be able to refine medicinal pills, still want to save people? Huhu! This old man will leave my words here, if he can save your second brother, this old man will pluck his head off for him to kick like a ball! Humph!"


    Finished talking, he did not care about the chief head either, directly flicking his sleeves and leaving.


    Who was he, Wu Feng?


    That was a golden signboard of the south city!


    The Dragon Slaying Gang''s decision was simply slapping his face.


    He had just sentenced the second head to death. In the end, this bunch of fellows found someone to save me. Furthermore, it was even a little kid.


    This �� was simply preposterous!


    The chief head''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He turned around and glared furiously at Ye Yuan and said, "Kid, it''s all thanks to you! If I find out that you''re messing with my Dragon Slaying Gang, I''ll pluck your head off and go apologize to Master Wu Feng and ask for punishment!"


    Ye Yuan gave the chief head a glance and said with a smile, "When most people talk to me like this, they will be put into the blacklist by me. Even if you were to kneel down and beg me, I won''t agree to save him either. But looking on the account of your brotherhood, this young master, I, won''t fuss about this."


    The chief head''s face turned black, gloomy to the extreme.


    This kid was too pretentious.


    He nearly believed it!


    Why would Ol'' Third believe this kid? He needed to ask him properly in a while.


    "Go, prepare a clean basin for me. Fortunately, this young master is carrying quite a few spirit medicines on me. But the spirit medicines'' cost, you guys have to pay!" Ye Yuan said to the chief head.


    Everyone''s faces choked up. Was this kid �� reliable?

 1535 If Its Severed, Just Join It Back

    The chief head and his brothers exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    Why did saving people need a basin?


    "Ol'' Third, what is this kid doing?" the chief head asked softly.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was already diagnosing the second head''s pulse.


    The third head had a baffled look and said, "How would I know? If I were to know, I can already save Second Brother!"


    F*ck me, you''re also too irresponsible here!


    You found him!


    The chief head''s eyeballs went wide and he said, "Feels like this kid is very unreliable. What the hell is wrong with you, to insist on letting him try?"


    The third head said, "I exchanged blows with him outside just now. I �� fought to a draw with him!"


    The chief head''s gaze turned sharp, revealing a shocked expression.


    An initial-stage Origin Deity fought to a draw with Ol'' Third?


    No wonder Ol'' Third said that this kid was peculiar.


    Third Head continued talking. He said, "To have such terrifying strength at a young age, I guess that this kid''s origins background is definitely powerful. So �� maybe he really has a way to do it?"


    The chief head''s gaze looked at Ye Yuan with a glimmer and stopped talking.


    Before long, a clean basin was brought over.


    Ye Yuan also slowly stood up and came to the basin.


    It was only to see him knead a seal with his hand. A pile of spirit medicines appeared in the basin.


    Ye Yuan''s palm shook, those spirit medicines were directly shattered into dust. Stalks of spirit medicines became a pile of powder.


    The chief head glanced at the second head, his eyes slightly red, and asked Ye Yuan, "That �� Little Brother, Master Wu Feng said that Second Head''s heart meridians are already severed. Can �� can he really be saved?"


    Everyone there was a cultivator and naturally knew what heart meridian being severed meant.


    Even for Deity Realm powerhouses, once the power of laws severed the heart meridians, it was certain death too.


    This kind of damage was irreversible.


    Hence, that was why Wu Feng said that there was no way.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "If it''s severed, just join it back."


    "J-Join it back? If the heart meridian is severed �� it can still be joined back?"


    The chief head had never heard before that there was actually still such a miraculous method.


    While talking, Ye Yuan placed both hands in the basin. Those powder adhered to his hands.


    Ye Yuan came before the bed and pressed both hands on the second head''s chest.


    A surge of divine essence undulation lit up on Ye Yuan''s body.


    Clouds of mist gradually appeared at Ye Yuan''s palm area.


    Before long, Ye Yuan stood up again, sucked up some more powder, and rinsed and repeated.


    "This �� Doing what here?"


    "No idea. Never seen before this kind of healing method. Shouldn''t it be feeding medicinal pills to Second Brother?"


    "This kid wouldn''t really be messing with us, right?"


    "Just using divine essence to steam a little like this can bring Second Brother back?"


    ...


    The few brothers all chimed in, very pessimistic about Ye Yuan''s approach.


    They naturally could not tell how delicate the work of Ye Yuan''s hands were.


    Ye Yuan organically fused together the spirit medicines on his hands with divine essence, then sent the medicinal strength into the second head''s heart meridians through the pores.


    The second head''s heart meridians were already severed. Even if he consumed medicinal pills, it was also not possible to make a full circulatory cycle.


    But Ye Yuan could help the second head to absorb the medicinal strength using this kind of method.


    And this would repair the already severed heart meridians unceasingly under Ye Yuan''s catalyzing.


    Ye Yuan slowly expelled the power of laws that were wreaking havoc in the heart meridians with these spirit medicines, then carried out repairs.


    The requirement towards divine essence manipulation was exquisite to the point where it made one''s hair stand on end.


    Ordinary alchemists, even Four-star Alchemy Gods, could not possibly do it to Ye Yuan''s extent too.


    Ye Yuan''s method of manipulating divine essence came from endless tempering.


    In Ye Yuan''s view, the path of medicinal pills was never just refining pills.


    Time slowly trickled by. The bottom of that basin of spirit medicine powder could be seen very quickly.


    "C-Cough, cough, cough ��"


    Suddenly, an intense bout of cough came out of the second head''s mouth.


    When the few brothers saw this scene, each and every one of them roused themselves up.


    "Really �� Really brought back to life? My God, this kid''s level is actually even more formidable than Wu Feng''s!" The third head opened his mouth wide and could not close his mouth for a long time.


    "Pooh! Wu Feng''s standard isn''t even fit to carry shoes for this kid! That Wu Feng said it like he''s oh so important, and even said what, pluck his head off to kick like a ball. I want to see whether he really plucks his head off or not!" Ol'' Fifth, Meng Huo, said.


    "Too magical! It''s still my first time seeing that someone could still be saved when their heart meridians are severed! This ki �� this master is really too amazing!" the chief head also exclaimed in wonder.


    Seeing the second head wake up, the self-reproach in Chief Head''s heart also lessened considerably.


    This arrow was too sneaky. If not for Second Head blocking it for him, the one lying here right now would be him.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly got up. The few brothers immediately gathered over.


    "Ki �� Uh, Master, how''s my second brother?" Chief Head asked anxiously.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "The arrow wound is already fine, heart meridian is already joined up. But this poison is a little powerful. Prepare a room for me, I want to refine pills. Don''t let anyone come and disturb me. In addition, my spirit medicines and medicinal pills are very expensive. Uh �� on the account that it''s our first time working together, I''ll charge you guys 3 million divine essence stones then."


    "Hiss �� Five million divine essence stones, why don''t you go and rob?" Meng Huo''s eyes went wide. He was taken aback with fright by this price.


    Ordinary Three-star divine pills, the price was also just between 300 thousand divine essence stones to one million divine essence stones.


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, it was five to ten times the price!


    The other brothers also felt their flesh hurt. But Chief Head only furrowed his brows, then said, "Ol'' Fifth, shut up! What price Master wants to put, that''s how much it is! Five million divine essence stones, we''ll pay!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s still Chief Head who is gallant. When you all see the medicinal pill, you''ll know that it''s worth the money."


    After Ye Yuan left, Ol'' Fifth said indignantly, "Big Brother, he''s clearly demanding an exorbitant price here!"


    Ol'' Third also said, "Yeah, Big Brother! We can give him five million divine essence stones, but �� our gang''s name can''t be changed!"


    Chief Head snorted coldly and said, "Is Ol'' Second''s life just worth a mere five million? Mn? Any one of your lives is priceless in my eyes! What does a mere five million count for?"


    With this cold snort, everyone did not dare to speak anymore.


    At this time, the Ol'' Second on the bed finally woke up.


    "Ol'' Second, you''re awake! That''s really great!" Chief Head said with an excited look.


    The second head''s eyes were a little dazed as he struggled to say: "I �� I got hit by the Chasing Thunder Arrow and actually didn''t die?"


    Meng Huo laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha �� you were originally dead for sure, but ran into an incredible master who brought you back to life!"


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Second Head''s eyes and he looked at Chief Head.


    Chief Head nodded and said with a smile, "What Ol'' Fifth said is right! Ol'' Second, it''s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, Big Brother''s life will probably be done for. This life, Big Brother owes you!"


    Second Head forced a smile and said, "Big Brother, do we, brothers �� still have to say this sort of distant words?"

 1536 Conferring Name

    Ye Yuan making people not disturb was not really because he was afraid of people disturbing, but that his medicinal cauldron was too shocking.


    Once the matter that he had a divine lord mystic treasure on him leaked out, what he would face would likely be the frenzied pursuit of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City where divine lords walked everywhere, Ye Yuan did not dare to be careless.


    After two hours, a newly refined Detoxification Pill was completed.


    This was the Detoxification Pill that Ye Yuan developed himself. It was very different from the rank three Detoxification Pill in the world.


    "Divine-grade!" When the chief head saw the pill, his two eyes gave off rays of brilliant light.


    A rank three divine-grade divine pill, this was not what anybody could refine!


    Wu Feng was known as the south city''s number one alchemist. At the very most, he could only refine superior-grade divine pills.


    Just this even needed a massive burst of luck.


    But this young man in front of him, the moment he made his move, it was divine-grade!


    The chief head drew a breath of cold air, endlessly shocked as he looked at Ye Yuan.


    But he discovered the problem very soon and could not help saying puzzledly, "Master, what �� what medicinal pill is this?''


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Detoxification Pill, what medicinal pill can it be still? Could it be that I''m letting him eat a medicinal pill to increase cultivation right now? Not eating? Give back to me if not eating."


    The chief head''s hand hurriedly shrank back and he said awkwardly, "M-Master, I didn''t mean that. Master might not be aware, the Crimson Fire Bone Corroding Poison is very powerful. Ordinary detoxification pills can''t cure it. Only by prescribing the right remedy for it one can cure the poison."


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and was just about to lose his temper when the chief head directly came to the bedside subserviently and stuffed the medicinal pill down the second head''s mouth.


    He only questioned it instinctively. After all, the Crimson Fire Bone Corroding Poison''s power was rather famous.


    But he discovered very quickly that his doubts were totally unjustified.


    The master even joined back the heart meridians, could this medicinal pill be a bluff?


    Furthermore, it was a divine-grade medicinal pill!


    Sure enough, the second head whose complexion was black took a turn for the better very soon.


    The medicinal pill''s efficacy was amazingly good.


    "What a powerful Detoxification Pill! This �� Just how long has it been, Second Brother''s poison is actually gone?"


    "Yeah. Even the Crimson Fire Bone Corroding Poison''s detoxification pill doesn''t have such a fast effect too!"


    "What detoxification pill is this, it''s too exaggerated! Compared to this, those detoxification pills on the market are simply trash!"


    The few brothers cried out with exclamations, all stunned by Ye Yuan''s detoxification pill.


    They all, these gangs, lived a life on the edge every day. Getting injured and poisoned was all too normal.


    If there was such a medicinal pill, who would still be afraid of getting poisoned?


    Thud!


    After the second head got up, he immediately knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and said respectfully, "Many thanks for Master''s life-saving grace. Zhu Yong won''t ever forget it!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Heh, don''t need to thank me. I didn''t treat you without conditions."


    As he said, his gaze looked towards the chief head and said, "Chief Head, don''t forget our agreement!"


    Chief Head was also forthright, nodding and said, "I, Xing Guan, am a man of his word. Since I promised Master Ye, I naturally won''t renege! But �� this Xing has a presumptuous request."


    Ye Yuan thought nothing of it and said coolly, "Tell me about it."


    Chief Head said, "I heard that Master Ye has just entered Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. I wonder if you have a place to go to?"


    Ye Yuan froze and said, "Place to go �� There is. It''s just that it seems like I can''t go in right now."


    These few days, he already had Ah Four take care of this matter. But it seemed like it could not be resolved in a short while.


    The difficulty of entering the inner city seemed to be even greater than he imagined.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City made clear distinctions, inner city and outer cities were like two different worlds.


    Inner city was the place where the imperial city''s elites were located.


    Chief Head said, "Since that''s the case, Master Ye needs a place to stay as well. Why not �� join our Dragon �� our gang, how''s that? Master, rest assured. All of your expenses will be borne by us!"


    Ye Yuan gave Xing Guan a glance with a smile that was not a smile and said, "You all bear it? Do you know how much divine essence stones are needed to raise a Three-star alchemy god?"


    Chief Head''s expression could not help choking up, revealing a blush.


    He was just harboring the thought of giving it a try. Indeed it could not work out!


    Master Ye''s level was much more formidable than Wu Feng. How could he take fancy on the Dragon Slaying Gang?


    Even though alchemists were very rich, they burned even more money.


    If they could afford to raise, they would have long raised one. Why would they wait until now?


    Those capable of raising alchemists were just the three great families, this kind of major families with deep foundations.


    Even though their three gangs were part of the six great factions, compared to the three great families, they were still much worse.


    The streets that the three major gangs managed, those were all side-streets that the three great families did not take fancy on.


    The truly prosperous areas were all controlled in the hands of the three great families.


    Chief Head had an embarrassed look as he said, "This �� It was this Xing who was rash, hope that Master Ye doesn''t take offense."


    How could Ye Yuan not know what idea Xing Guan had? They offended Wu Feng to the core this time and was afraid of being suppressed by Wu Feng. That was why he would hope for him to stay.


    Wu Feng was known as the south city''s number one alchemist. He naturally had immense summoning power.


    If he could not treat the second head, then forget it. Xing Guan they all going to admit their mistake and gift some divine essence stones. Only then they could resolve the issue.


    But he treated the second head. Wu Feng definitely would not spare any effort to suppress the Dragon Slaying Gang for the sake of his face.


    At that time, their situation would be awkward.


    Wu Feng this kind of existence was what any party wanted to rope in.


    Hence, the current Dragon Slaying Gang''s situation was very pessimistic.


    The current Xing Guan could not bring out the air of a half-step Divine Lord in front of Ye Yuan at all.


    Alchemists were this awesome.


    Even if his realm was not as high as yours, you did not dare to offend either.


    Especially when Ye Yuan was the Dragon Slaying Gang''s only hope now.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Letting me stay behind, it''s also not impossible. But �� I won''t join in your gangs'' struggles. In addition, you guys prepare a shop for me."


    Xing Guan''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    The other few brothers similarly had stunned faces, their eyes when looking at Ye Yuan was full of incredulity.


    A-Agreed just like this?


    Originally, they already lost all hope. They id not expect that Ye Yuan did a 180-degree turn and actually agreed to it!


    Immediately, their faces revealed a look of wild elation.


    "Haha, no problem! Whatever you need, Master Ye feel free to open your mouth! Oh, right, since Master requests us to change names, then �� why not confer a name?" Xing Guan said with great joy.


    Ye Yuan agreeing to Xing Guan naturally had his considerations.


    He discovered that wanting to enter the inner city was really a very difficult thing.


    That Ah Four probably could not be counted on.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower was probably a first-rate major force in the inner city too.


    Ah Four this kind of small fish, how could he get in contact with that kind of existence?


    Since that was the case, he might as well find a place to settle down first.


    Although this Dragon Slaying Gang was of lowly status, they were faithful and loyal to friends, and also quite trustworthy, making Ye Yuan feel pretty good.


    Since he was unable to enter the inner city, let the Myriad Treasure Tower come find him then.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "A sudden clap of thunder out of the blue, why not �� use the name Thunderclap Gang then."

 1537 Will Grant All Requests

    Deyi Hall was the south city''s largest medicinal hall. Wu Feng was the number one person here.


    As the south city''s number one medicinal hall, Deyi Hall naturally had unceasing traffic, their business very popular.


    "What did you say?! Zhu Yongtian didn''t die?"


    Wu Feng looked at the manager opposite, shock filling his eyes.


    The manager nodded and said, "Not only did he not die, but he''s also already full of vitality and vigor! He was seen going to a branch hall this morning, talking in a jovial manner. It was like he wasn''t seriously injured on the verge of death at all!"


    Wu Feng''s gaze turned intent and he shook his head and said, "Impossible! I personally diagnosed his pulse! His heart meridians were already fully severed, even immortals would be hard-pressed to save him. It''s just three days'' time, so how can he possibly be robust and lively already?"


    The manager smiled bitterly and said, "I''ve already sent people to inquire about it. Zhu Yongtian is really already well. Furthermore, the Crimson Fire Bone Corroding Poison in his body is already fully removed."


    Wu Feng''s expression changed, his brows furrowing tightly until creases could be seen and he said in a solemn voice, "Is it possible? Was he really brought back to life by that brat? A brat who''s still wet behind the ears, how can he possibly have such capability?"


    The manager was puzzled as he said, "Brother Wu Feng, the kid that you''re talking about is?"


    Wu Feng froze, shook his head, and said, "Nothing! Starting from today, Deyi Hall as well as all of the Dongfang Family''s medicinal halls will discontinue all cooperation with the Dragon Slaying Gang, banning the sale of medicinal pills to them! Humph! Since they look down on this old man, then they will have to suffer this old man''s wrath!"


    The manager''s expression changed and he said with difficulty, "Brother Wu Feng, this �� the Dragon Slaying Gang is our major client, this isn''t too good, right?"


    Wu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Why? Don''t I even have this bit of authority?"


    The manager smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wu Feng is too serious, you naturally have this authority. Alright then, it will be as Brother Wu Feng said!"


    Wu Feng''s status in the Dongfang Family was too high. Even though he was Deyi Hall''s manager, he could not offend this great deity.


    It was just that he was very curious, who could make the Wu Feng who had always been proud of his success take up arms and go to war?


    ...


    "What did you say? Zhu Yongtian actually didn''t die? How is this possible? My Thunder Chasing Arrow has never failed before!"


    When the Sun Moon Gang''s second head, He Xiao, heard this news, his first reaction was to not believe it.


    Thunder Chasing Arrow, the momentum was akin to chasing thunder; none could withstand its onslaught!


    Although He Xiao was just a grand completion Origin Deity, by relying on the Thunder Chasing Arrow, shooting a half-step Divine Lord dead was nothing difficult.


    As long as he was given an adequate opportunity!


    The Silverfeather Gang spent a huge price before inviting He Xiao to take action but did not expect for it to fall short of success at the last stage.


    Xing Guan was not shot dead. Now, even the Zhu Yongtian who helped him block the arrow actually survived too. How could this not shock him?


    "Heh, Zhu Yongtian has already appeared in public, it can''t be faked. Furthermore, there''s an even more explosive news, the Dragon Slaying Gang �� changed names to Thunderclap Gang!" the Silverfeather Gang''s chief head, Luo Yu, said.


    He Xiao''s expression changed, showing a look of surprise on his face.


    What the hell was this Dragon Slaying Gang up to?


    "You came to find me today to take about this? I''ve already taken action. Zhu Yongtian not dying, the responsibility of this matter isn''t on me! Could it be that your Silverfeather Gang wants to go back on your word?" After the initial shock, He Xiao recovered the demeanor of a fierce and ambitious person.


    Luo Yu smiled and said, "Rest assured, Qianting Three Streets, there''s one for you guys! I came today to find you to discuss cooperation. Once the chief head breaks through to Divine Lord Realm, he can''t interfere with the south city''s matters anymore. Before this, our two gangs should still cooperate sincerely and wipe out the Thunderclap Gang first. What do you think, future chief head?"


    Among the three gangs, the Sun Moon Gang''s strength was the greatest.


    The Sun Moon Gang''s chief head''s strength was already infinitely close to the Divine Lord Realm and might break through at any time.


    These few years, he had always been in the state of closed-seclusion.


    And He Xiao''s strength was also virtually on par with half-step Divine Lord.


    According to the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s rules, Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were not to intervene in the outer cities'' affairs.


    When the time came, He Xiao would be the Sun Moon Gang''s chief head.


    He Xiao gave Luo Yu a very meaningful glance and said, "Are you �� making a show of goodwill to our Sun Moon Gang?"


    Luo Yu smiled and said, "Fine birds choose the tree to perch on! Our three major gangs have fought in the open and in the dark these few years. But in the eyes of the three great families, we''re merely a bunch of motley crew. Now, we finally produced a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, this also makes us have the feeling of leaning against a big tree!"


    When he said this, Luo Yu felt many vicissitudes of emotion too.


    The three major gangs'' power being inferior to the three great families was because they did not have a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse as a backer.


    The three great chiefs were all competing to see who could break through to Divine Lord Realm first these few years.


    Looking at it now, it was naturally the Sun Moon Gang''s chief who was a notch higher.


    Even though Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were not to directly intervene in the outer cities'' matters, manipulating in secret was definitely there.


    Otherwise, on what basis could the three great families suppress them?


    When He Xiao heard this, he could not help saying with a smile: "It''s still Chief Head Luo who recognizes the facts of the situation, unlike that Xing Guan who''s impervious to all reason. But, Xing Guan''s strength is indeed very formidable; not easy to deal with!"


    Luo Yu smiled and said, "In the past, he isn''t easy to deal with. But now �� no idea why, Xing Guan offended Master Wu Feng. Now, Deyi Hall and Dongfang Family''s businesses have already utterly boycotted the Thunderclap Gang. Without the Dongfang Family''s protection, could he, Xing Guan, still overturn the heavens?"


    He Xiao''s brows raised up and he said, "Is this real?"


    Luo Yu smiled and said, "More real than real gold!"


    The two people looked at each other and smiled.


    ...


    On Cinnamon Street, a handsome looking youth brought along a young book attendant, and they were currently wandering on the streets[1].


    "Mis - Young Master, it''s getting late, we should go back," the book attendant said.


    That youth had refined features and bright eyes, the skin color fair. One look and it was a woman cross-dressed as a man.


    But even if it was cross-dressing and not applying makeup, it could not block her beauty too.


    The youth glared and scolded, "Little Huan, is your skin itching again? We''re running away from home here! Running away from home, understand? Go back? Go back for what? Walk right into a trap?"


    Little Huan pursed her lips and did not dare to say a word more.


    Suddenly, the youth raised her head and saw ''Will Grant All Requests'', four big words, written on a small medicine shop, and could not help revealing a look of disdain.


    "Heh, such a small medicine shop probably doesn''t even have a Three-star alchemy god. To actually dare claim to grant all requests. This young la �� young master wants to see how you grant all requests!"


    While talking, the youth raised her feet and went straight into the medicine shop.


    "Shopkeeper, your front door writes ''Will Grant All Requests'', can you refine all medicinal pills?" the youth directly opened her mouth and asked.


    The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet and appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, "This �� should be �� can?"


    The shopkeeper seriously could not carry on talking. Yesterday, the chief head brought a young man over, saying that this medicine shop was up to him to take charge.


    In the end, the first thing that this young man did was to hang a ''Will Grant All Requests'' plaque at the entrance.


    His sweat poured profusely back then. The tone was a little too big, right?


    Even though this young man was an initial-stage Origin Deity, he was too young, too boastful.


    You look, this plaque had not been hung for long and someone came over to find fault, right?


    "Can? You''re the shopkeeper, you''re asking me? Heh, you all really have such high-sounding sentiments, is this to offend all of your peers?" the youth said with a cold smile.


    [1] Book attendants were basically young servant boys who were also study partners to their young masters.

 1538 Didnt Expect That . . . Its So Easy

    The shopkeeper had an embarrassed look, stammering and somewhat unable to speak.


    ''Will grant all request,'' these words, no medicine shop dared to say it.


    If they treated someone to death or could not refine the medicinal pill, that would really be smacking their own face swollen.


    Furthermore, Cinnamon Street was out-of-the-way. This small shop of theirs did not attract people''s attention. Otherwise, this place would have long been rallied and attacked by their peers.


    But the shopkeeper knew that this kind of thing could not be avoided. It would be known by people sooner or later.


    And this youth was likely the first one dropping in to find fault.


    "Hey, shopkeeper, I''m asking you something, talk! Since you guys will grant all requests, then I''ll request for a pill right now! Do you dare to accept, shopkeeper?"


    The youth had an overbearing appearance, forcing the shopkeeper back several steps.


    The shopkeeper also wanted to say yes, but he did not have the confidence!


    One look and it was clear that this youth was a wealthy young master. He was clearly here to cause trouble. So how could the medicinal pill he requested be easy to refine?


    "This �� This ��" The shopkeeper''s head was full of sweat, not knowing how he should answer.


    The corners of the youth''s mouth curled and she said disdainfully, "If you don''t have the ability, pretending to be capable for what?! Hey, this �� young master will tear down your signboard!"


    "Y-Young Master, this �� this isn''t good, right?" Little Huan felt very embarrassed by her ''young master''s overbearing appearance and urged.


    "What''s not good? They dared to make this boast, do they still not let people tear down this plaque?" the youth said unrelentingly.


    Right then, a young man came out from behind the screen, opened his mouth, and said indifferently, "Miss, what medicinal pill you want to ask for, just feel free to say. Tearing down people''s signboard at the drop of a hat, this isn''t good."


    Ye Yuan''s words were said very calmly, seemingly forgotten that he had just torn down people''s signboard a few days ago and even forced them to change their gang''s name.


    Uh �� this was voluntary, not forced.


    That youth could not help being somewhat surprised when she saw Ye Yuan see through her at one glance. Soon after, she was a little angry.


    This guy, the logic of not exposing when seen through, did he not understand?


    But saw the corners of her mouth curl and she said disdainfully, "And I was wondering, this signboard was hung by you, right?"


    Ye Yuan said without any change in countenance: "So what if yes?"


    "So what? Huhu. what a big tone! Do you think that you''re the Medicine Ancestor? Will grant all requests! This �� young lady will tear down this signboard of yours today!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Tearing down my signboard, you need to have the ability to do it."


    "Ha! Look at you, brat. Age isn''t old, tone really isn''t small! You wait!"


    This girl suddenly turned around and ran out of the hall, coming to the street. Cupping her hands around her mouth, she shouted loudly, "Hey, everyone come over and take a look, everyone come and see!"


    With her shouting, there were immediately quite a few people who were drawn over.


    Even though Cinnamon Street was in a remote place, it more or less had some popularity. Otherwise, the Thunderclap Gang would not open a small shop here either.


    The girl sneered coldly and thought to herself, Aren''t you very cocky? So many people watching, when you can''t refine the medicinal pill in a while, I want to see how you clean up the mess! This signboard of yours, this young lady is bent on tearing it down today!


    Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper''s heart thumped and secretly thought to himself that it was over.


    But an imperceptible smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth. This �� seemed to be pretty good too.


    Little Huan had an embarrassed look and said to Ye Yuan, "This sir, really sorry, my family''s young lady has a personality that craves for the world to be plunged into chaos."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "No harm, let her make trouble."


    The shopkeeper gave Ye Yuan a sidelong glance, thinking to himself, you''re about to fold up for good soon, still let her cause trouble ��


    With this, he was going to lose his job.


    Seeing everyone gather over, the girl was pleased with herself inwardly, but her face was indignant as she said, "Everyone, look at this small shop. It actually writes will grant all requests. I think this medicinal shop''s alchemist must be very impressive! Today, this young master will let everyone test the water, let everyone see if this little medicine shop is really a lair of undiscovered talents!"


    With her shouting, it immediately caught everyone''s attention.


    "Eh, when did this plaque of Miracle Hand Parlor hang up? How come I didn''t know?"


    "Will grant all requests! What high-sounding sentiments!"


    "Those major medicinal shops in the inner city don''t dare to hang this kind of plaque too, right?"


    ...


    Miracle Hand Parlor was this small medicine shop''s name. It had also been on Cinnamon Street for some years already. Everyone had long become used to it.


    The shopkeeper quietly hung this plaque out, afraid of drawing people''s attention.


    Now, it was good, this lassie directly attracted all the people here.


    A look of despair appeared on the shopkeeper''s face.


    This lassie was too ruthless!


    Done talking, that girl turned around and said to Ye Yuan, "Hey, kid, dare to come out or not? In front of everyone, let''s take a look at how impressive this ''will grant all requests'' of yours is!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and slowly came out. He clasped his hands at everyone and said, "How do you do, neighbors? This Miracle Hand Parlor will be managed by me, Ye Yuan, in the future! Whatever rare or puzzling illness everybody has, pill refinement and medicine, you can all come and find me. Below rank four, all demands will be satisfied[1]!"


    "Ha, this kid really dares to brag!"


    "Below rank four, all demands will be satisfied. This boast is bragged too hard, right?"


    "Isn''t the Miracle Hand Parlor the Dragon Slaying Gang''s territory? Where did this punk pop out from?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone burst into an uproar all at once.


    The girl narrowed her eyes, looking at Ye Yuan with a sneer in her heart.


    Still pretending!


    In a while, I see how you wind up the matter!


    Kid who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth!


    "Heh, Master Ye, since you''re so incredible, then I''ll request a pill from you right now!" That girl said.


    Ye Yuan did a go ahead hand gesture and said, "Requesting pill, prepare your own spirit medicine and pill formula. Rank three divine pills starts from one million divine essence stones."


    "Hiss ��"


    The moment these words came out, that girl could not help opening her mouth wide and said in shock, "One million divine essence stones? Why don''t you go and rob people?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "My medicinal pills are worth this price!"


    Wildly arrogant!


    Truly wildly conceited!


    Master Wu Feng''s medicinal pills were not so expensive either!


    This kid was crazy for money, right?


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance that asked for a beating, that girl could not help feeling exasperated and said, "Fine! I, Ning Siyu, want to try what kind of medicinal pill you can refine! Here, pill formula and spirit medicines are all inside this storage ring! If you can''t refine, I''ll smash your signboard on the spot!"


    Ye Yuan received the storage ring and took out the pill formula and took a look, involuntarily showing a look of surprise on his face.


    When Ning Siyu saw Ye Yuan''s expression, she could not help saying with a cold smile, "How is it? Stunned, right? Watch me smash your signboard!"


    Done talking, she leaped up and was going to smash the signboard.


    But her body had just flew into midair and had her ankle caught by Ye Yuan, and was forcefully dragged down.


    "You! So many people are watching, you dare to go back on your word?" Ning Siyu said angrily.


    Ye Yuan glanced at her indifferently and said, "When did I say that I can''t refine it?"


    Ning Siyu sneered and said, "Your expression just now already betrayed your thoughts!"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "I thought that you''d give me some difficult problem. Didn''t expect that �� it''s so easy."


    [1] Rank four = Four-star. For some reason, author actually seem to use this more than the star system. Previously, I''ve been converting it to star. But now, I think I''ll translate it as it is. Just take note that they mean the same level.

 1539 Gale Celestial Stone Pill

    "Easy? You''re saying that the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill is easy? H-Ha! Truly shameless boasting!"


    Ning Siyu was utterly speechless. She really did not know where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from, to actually be this arrogant.


    Meridian Heaven Heart Pill was a middle-grade rank three divine pill. Furthermore, it was a very difficult to refine type among rank three middle-grade divine pills.


    Ning Siyu''s talent was extremely high. One should not look at how she was young. She was already a middle-rank Three-star Alchemy God.


    This Meridian Heaven Heart Pill was precisely the medicinal pill that she failed to refine for a long time.


    This medicinal pill''s refinement difficulty was immense. Even if Ning Siyu''s master refined it, he could only occasionally refine one to superior-grade.


    One had to know, her master was a Four-star Alchemy God!


    This cocky boy in front of her was actually so arrogant.


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Siyu a glance and said smilingly, "Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, the refinement fee is two million divine essence stones. Do you have them?"


    Ning Siyu glared and said angrily, "Don''t you look down on people! Isn''t it a mere two million divine essence stones? This young master is poor until I''m only left with divine essence stones!


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Alright then, you wait."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and entered the inner hall.


    Although two hours passed, everyone did not leave. Instead, there was a trend of gathering more and more.


    ''Will Grant All Requests'', this gimmick, was indeed rather beckoning.


    Everyone all wanted to see if this ridiculously young alchemist really had the standard, or was a half bucket of water sloshing around.


    But everyone was very pessimistic about Ye Yuan. Such a young alchemist, even if he was really a Three-star alchemist, it was also impossible to have a very high standard.


    Since Ning Siyu came to kick down the dojo, the pill formula that she took out definitely was not some commonplace pill formula.


    Ordinary alchemists probably could not refine it.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan slowly came out from the inner hall.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out so quickly, Ning Siyu''s face revealed a smug smile.


    "Kid, can''t refine it, right? Did you �� ruin all of my spirit medicines? Heh, the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, this level of medicinal pill, how can it be what any random Tom, Dick, and Harry, can refine?" Ning Siyu said smugly.


    This Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, even if her master came to refine it, the process still needed half a day''s time too.


    Refining it in two hours?


    Ning Siyu did not even consider this being possible at all!


    "This kid is totally putting up an act! Still will grant all requests, what a joke!"


    "Isn''t that so? No idea where the Dragon Slaying Gang found this kid either, isn''t this asking for trouble?"


    "The Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, I heard before. It''s a very difficult to refine middle-grade rank three divine pill. This brat''s hair isn''t even fully grown, can he refine it?"


    "Come, come, come, let''s smash the signboard together! Isn''t this making fun of us?"


    ...


    Ning Siyu was all roused up when she heard and said delightedly, "You don''t have any objection about me smashing the signboard now, right? Oh, right, my spirit medicines'' money, you got to compensate me. A total of 500 thousand divine essence stones!"


    As she said, Ning Siyu was going to smash the signboard.


    Ning Siyu''s body had just risen to midair and then was dragged down by Ye Yuan. She could not help saying in exasperation, "You punk, are you courting death?"


    Ye Yuan ignored her, but stretched his hand out and said, "Give it."


    Ning Siyu froze and said, "Give what?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Two million divine essence stones!"


    Ning Siyu blew her top all at once and bellowed, "You didn''t even refine the medicinal pill and still want to ask me for divine essence stones? You �� You''re not duping people, you''re a scam shop!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Who told you that I didn''t refine it?"


    Ning Siyu snickered and said, "Rubbish! Two hours, you can refine the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill? If you were to refine it, I''ll eat the medicine cauldron!"


    Ye Yuan fished out a small jade box. The moment the jade box opened, a medicinal fragrance that gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind instantly spread out.


    Ning Siyu''s smile immediately froze there, looking at that dark red medicinal pill in disbelief.


    "This �� This is impossible! Divine �� Divine-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill? Y-Y-You �� Where did you get it from?"


    Ning Siyu was like a startled little rabbit, at a loss on what to do and where to go.


    Her master could not even refine a heaven-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, let alone divine-grade.


    This kid actually brought a divine-grade out!


    "This �� This is really a divine-grade medicinal pill!"


    "Are my eyes failing me? A Three-star Alchemy God refined a rank three divine-grade divine pill?"


    "The Meridian Heaven Heart Pill isn''t an ordinary medicinal pill! He can actually refine a divine-grade! This �� This is too fake, right?"


    ...


    The surrounding people were all dumbfounded. Divine-grade medicinal pills were extremely rare and also not what they could afford.


    But now, this young man actually took out a divine-grade divine pill!


    Ning Siyu reached her hand out, wanting to take the medicinal pill. But Ye Yuan pulled his hand back and Ning Siyu grabbed thin air.


    "Want the medicinal pill, pay money!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ning Siyu pursed her mouth and threw a storage ring to Ye Yuan. Snatching the jade box over, she said, "Take it! Look at that money-face appearance of yours! Humph!"


    Observing the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill closely, it was indeed divine-grade!


    The medicinal pill was still steaming. Clearly, it had just come out of the furnace.


    This �� was really refined that this kid?


    Titanic waves surged in Ning Siyu''s heart. The difficulty of the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, she was all too clear!


    She had already attempted to refine this medicinal pill for several years, but she had never succeeded before.


    But this kid refined it in two hours!


    This �� I don''t believe it!


    "I don''t believe it! You �� You must have cheated!" Ning Siyu suddenly said.


    Little Huan was also incredibly shocked at one side. But Ning Siyu''s endless pestering, she really could not look on anymore.


    "Young master ��"


    "Shut up!" Ning Siyu shouted at Little Huan, then turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "Kid, there must be something shady involved! I don''t believe that you can refine a divine-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Believing it or not is up to you. Our transaction is already done."


    So infuriating!


    Can you, this punk, not be so cocky or not?


    "Kid, I still want to ask for a kind of medicinal pill! If you can even refine this medicinal pill, I''ll believe that you can really grant all requests! Otherwise �� I''m still going to smash your signboard!" Ning Siyu said.


    Ye Yuan was amused and said smilingly, "As long as there''s business, I won''t refuse the arrival."


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ning Siyu mouth and she said,


    "This is the Gale Celestial Stone Pill''s pill formula and spirit medicines. If you can refine it, I''ll immediately get lost!"


    "Hiss �� Gale Celestial Stone Pill! What background does this brat have? To actually have this pill formula!"


    "Gale Celestial Stone Pill, it''s said to be a medicinal pill that can help martial artists comprehend the law of wind, being incomparably profound. This medicinal pill isn''t available on the market at all!"


    "This medicinal pill is famous for being hard to refine. Heard that even for Four-star alchemy gods, it''s very hard to refine!"


    "Heh, this young man �� is in trouble now!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan received the pill formula and browsed it over. A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, "A little interesting!"


    Ning Siyu sneered and said, "Do you dare to accept or not?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What''s not to dare? But this medicinal pill isn''t cheap!"


    Ning Siyu snorted coldly and said, "If you can really refine it, money is no object!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright then, eight million divine essence stones!"

 1540 Chaos Heavenly Star Art!

    "Hiss �� Eight million divine essence stones, this �� this is a robbery!"


    "Crazy, crazy! A medicinal pill eight million divine essence stones. This kid is crazily thinking about money!"


    "Heh, demanding an exorbitant price got to have the ability to take it as well!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s quoted price directly made everyone burst into an uproar.


    Eight million for one medicinal pill, this was not even counting the spirit medicines'' cost.


    This was simply a sky-high price!


    The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there was also barely any medicinal pill that could sell at the price of eight million.


    This kid absolutely went crazy thinking about money!


    The corners of Ning Siyu''s mouth twitched and she said, "If you can really refine it, so what if eight million? But I have a request, you must refine the pill in front of everybody!"


    She did not believe that Ye Yuan could really refine a divine-grade divine pill.


    Something that even Master could not refine, how could Ye Yuan possibly refine it?


    Moreover, this Gale Celestial Stone Pill''s difficulty was God knows how many times harder than the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill!


    Even for her master, the chances of refining were very small too!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Deal. All come in then."


    Ning Siyu followed Ye Yuan inside angrily. The others exchanged glances and also entered in a single line.


    The Miracle Hand Parlor was not big. Ye Yuan''s pill refining room was also not that luxurious. With so many people entering it, it seemed a little packed.


    These people all extended their heads, wanting to see how Ye Yuan refined pills.


    Just now, this young man took out a rank three divine-grade divine pill!


    When Ning Siyu saw this simple and crude pill refining room, she could not help pursing her mouth.


    This rundown place, could it really give birth to some legendary existence?


    What Ye Yuan used was a celestial deity artifact medicinal cauldron. The Profound Yellow Cauldron naturally could not be taken out in front of everyone.


    Either way, the celestial deity artifacts inside the Purple Extreme Hall were a lot. There were still other medicinal cauldrons.


    Gale Celestial Stone Pill, Dustless mentioned it to him before but did not have the pill formula. This would be Ye Yuan''s first time refining one.


    After doing the prep work, he started meditating, deducing the pill formula in his head.


    The spirit medicines that Ning Siyu prepared were only sufficient to refine twice. It was still a little difficult for him to want to refine it within two tries.


    Of course, this was so to other people.


    Ning Siyu looked at Ye Yuan and had a contemptuous look. This guy was definitely posturing!


    This room was full of people. Did meditation not require a quiet environment?


    Do you have to be so amateur?


    If you can deduce the pill formula under this kind of environment, that would really be seeing ghosts!


    Ning Siyu pursed her mouth and said disdainfully, "Putting on an act! I want to see how long you can maintain it!"


    She already determined now that Ye Yuan was totally a layman!


    As for that medicinal pill earlier �� it might have been stolen from somewhere!


    Roughly two hours later, Ye Yuan slowly got up and arrived before the medicinal cauldron.


    Everyone held their breaths, quietly waiting for Ye Yuan to refine pills.


    Ye Yuan''s palm shook, shattering medicine and condensing the embryo!


    The excess spirit medicines, Ye Yuan lightly flicked, directly sending into another container.


    Very soon, the two medicinal embryos were condensed finish.


    The entire process was natural and smooth; finished in one go.


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Ning Siyu''s eyes. Ye Yuan''s method had indeed astonished her.


    Except, was this medicinal embryo really reliable?


    That casual flick could expel the excess spirit medicines?


    At least, her master could not achieve such precise control.


    Shattering medicine and condensing the embryo was not considered some incredible skill to Alchemy Gods.


    But Ye Yuan''s shattering medicine and condensing the embryo was vastly different from ordinary Alchemy Gods.


    A feeling of �� consciousness flowed.


    Refining pills using consciousness flow?


    Hur hur!


    Pill refinement was an extremely rigorous study. Could consciousness flow refine the medicinal pill[1]?


    "Tsk, who doesn''t know how to act cool!" Ning Siyu said scornfully.


    However, Ye Yuan already entered pill refinement state. Ning Siyu''s ridicule, he did not hear a single word.


    Ye Yuan held his palm out. A pale white flame appeared in his palm.


    "Snicker �� A rank two divine fire? Want to refine the Gale Celestial Stone Pill? This guy is joking around, right?"


    Seeing the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame in Ye Yuan''s palm, Ning Siyu immediately laughed.


    Rank two divine fires, regardless of whether in terms of temperature or sustainability, it did not reach the requirement of refining rank three divine pills at all.


    The Gale Celestial Stone Pill, this level of medicinal pill, the requirement of the flame itself was exceedingly high.


    For rank two divine fires to want to refine the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, it was simply a fool''s talk.


    Under Ye Yuan''s painstaking nurturing, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had long broken through rank one divine fire as well, reaching rank two.


    It was just that the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame''s advancement speed clearly could not catch up to Ye Yuan''s speed of breaking through.


    His palm urged, the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame entered inside the medicinal cauldron.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame emitted light exploding sounds.


    The temperature of the medicinal cauldron suddenly soared!


    Flame Explosion Art!


    A surge of scorching temperature hit from head-on, making everyone''s faces suddenly change.


    "This �� Is this a rank two divine fire? Why would it have such a horrifying temperature?"


    "This temperature has probably already reached the level of rank three divine fire, right?"


    "A rank two divine fire giving off a rank three divine fire''s temperature? This �� Is this a joke?"


    ...


    Waves of exclamations emitted from the crowd. Ning Siyu also had shock written all over her face.


    Even though it just barely reached the temperature of rank three divine fires, it had indeed reached it.


    How did this guy do it?


    Ye Yuan only developed this Flame Explosion Art in order to compensate for the inadequacies of his divine fire.


    Ye Yuan could let each fire seedling undergo a small-scale explosion with terrifying control, letting the divine fire''s overall temperature rise a level from there.


    This was Ye Yuan''s action that could not be helped. But in everyone''s view, it was an inconceivable thing.


    Ning Siyu''s eyes glimmered, discovering a trace of inkling very soon, and could not help having a look of surprise.


    The little fire seedlings that this kind of art of flame explosion required to control was a very horrifying number.


    This guy''s control over flames had simply reached the acme of perfection!


    It was just that �� if using this method, would he still have energy to go and control the pill refinement?


    Controlling flames and controlling the pill refinement, these were two things and needed to be done separately.


    Without a doubt, this method of controlling fire needed to expend tremendous energy. Then what would Ye Yuan use to refine pills?


    A hint of a gloating smile flashed across the corners of Ning Siyu''s mouth. What was the use of being good at fire control? Forming the pill was the crux!


    But very soon, her smile turned stiff on her face.


    Inside the entire room, a mysterious aura started filling the air.


    This aura was like wine fragrance, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.


    "Chaos Heavenly Star Art!"


    Ye Yuan shouted lightly, his entire person seemingly turning into a region of chaos, giving people the feeling of beholding a great mountain.


    Ning Siyu''s eyes became somewhat misty, as if she was drunk.


    Her entire person was immersed in the sea of Dao, unable to extricate herself.


    As for the rest, they were even more like so.


    Inside this pill refinement room, the aura of Great Dao pervaded the air!


    Chaos Heavenly Star Art was the alchemy technique that Ye Yuan developed. It was also the extension of his Alchemy Dao when he was a mortal realm.


    If his alchemy skill was a tender seedling in the past, then his current alchemy skill was a great tree currently growing tall and strong!


    [1] I don''t know what this consciousness flow means, but it doesn''t appear anymore.

 1541 Are You a Monster?

    Ye Yuan gained enlightenment on Great Dao with alchemy and developed the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    He naturally walked further along the alchemy path too.


    After the Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art, Ye Yuan created the Chaos Heavenly Star Art with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon as the foundation.


    Especially after the Great Dao Heavenly Melody the last time, this alchemy skill became even more unfathomable.


    As soon as it was used, it would trigger Great Dao.


    Suddenly, the aura of Great Dao poured into the medicinal cauldron frenziedly. Everyone returned to serenity!


    That misty look of Ning Siyu''s finally recovered clarity.


    "Just now �� what happened? What a mysterious feeling! I feel like �� I seem to have understood something!" Ning Siyu said in shock.


    "What a mysterious feeling!"


    "I clearly don''t know how to refine pills, but why do I feel like I seem to know how to refine pills?"


    "Just now �� what in the world happened? What a magical alchemy technique!"


    ...


    Everyone seemed to have experienced a fleeting dream. Now, they had a feeling as if waking up from a dream.


    Ye Yuan pointed at the medicinal pill in the jade box and said to Ning Siyu, "Your Gale Celestial Stone Pill, pay up!"


    The moment Ning Siyu looked at it, her eyes went wide.


    "This �� How is this possible? Peak heaven-grade! Just a bit more, just a little bit more! You �� Are you still human?"


    Ning Siyu''s voice, the pitch gradually became higher and higher. She felt that she must have seen a fake medicinal pill.


    This guy actually refined a peak heaven-grade Gale Celestial Stone Pill!


    Furthermore, it was even his first time refining!


    Ning Siyu felt that her head could not quite wrap itself around it. Everything in front of her was too surreal.


    She watched Ye Yuan refine pills with her own eyes. This absolutely could not be falsified!


    Also, that mysterious feeling just now, what was with that?


    Ning Siyu looked at Ye Yuan, feeling that this youth was so mysterious.


    "Mn. This is the first time I''m refining it. I''m still a little unfamiliar with the pill. You can leave the other medicinal embryo here. Tomorrow, I''ll help you refine once more. It should be able to reach divine-grade," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ning Siyu used a gaze like she had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan. She seriously could not find the words to describe the astonishment in her heart currently anymore.


    When did refining divine-grade medicinal pills become so casual?


    At this moment, the shopkeeper''s face revealed a red glow, looking excited.


    He really did not think that this young lad who was new was actually an expert who kept his own counsel!


    No, wait, it was a super duper expert!


    What kind of expert could refine divine-grade medicinal pills like cabbages?


    Even Four-star Alchemy Gods could not do it too, right?


    At this time, he felt that this ''Will Grant All Requests'' signboard was genuine fame following real achievement, living up to its reputation,


    All along, the Miracle Hand Parlor was half-dead.


    But the shopkeeper was clear that the Miracle Hand Parlor would soon become the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s hottest medicinal shop!


    "Everybody saw it, right? Our Master Ye has true capabilities! Everyone, remember. All requests will be granted! In the future, if everyone has any needs, feel free to come to the Miracle Hand Parlor! It''s getting late now, everyone can all disperse then!" said the shopkeeper as he smiled from ear to ear.


    Everyone experienced boundless shock and left the Miracle Hand Parlor.


    Ning Siyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she did not know where to begin.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Siyu and said suspiciously, "What? It can''t be that you don''t have divine essence stones, right?"


    Ning Siyu''s expression changed and she suddenly put on a smile and said with a fawning look: "This �� Came out in a hurry �� Why not �� How about this? I see that your little medicine shop is lacking manpower too. I''ll be a little medicine boy for you?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Siyu meaningfully and said, "You want to learn alchemy from me?"


    Ning Siyu instantly turned into a fangirl. Pulling Ye Yuan''s hand and swinging, she said, "Your pill refinement is really too incredible! I idolize you to death! I discovered that �� I''ve fallen in love with alchemy!"


    Ye Yuan shook her hand off and said with a disgusted look, "What does you falling in love with alchemy have got to do with me? Give me the money!"


    Not that Ye Yuan was greedy for money, but that his current expenditures were too great.


    The cost of rank three spirit medicines was far from what rank one and two spirit medicines could compare to.


    The spirit medicines of a medicinal pill like the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, the cost price would likely cost several million divine essence stones.


    Along the way, in order to research rank three spirit medicines, he already spent no less than over a billion divine essence stones.


    Adding in the flight expenditure along the way, he was only left with two to three billion divine essence stones now.


    It looked like a very large sum. Actually, it was already consuming without producing.


    Hence, the money that should be charged, he naturally must charge Ning Siyu.


    Eight million to buy a medicinal pill sounded very scary. Actually, it was not considered expensive for divine-grade medicinal pills.


    Because one could not buy it at all!


    The Gale Celestial Stone Pill''s divine-grade medicinal pill, even Four-star Alchemy Gods could not refine it.


    Ning Siyu said with a resentful look, "Stinky fellow who''s oblivious to flirting! Want money, don''t have it. Want my life, there''s one. Up to you!"


    As she said this, Ning Siyu directly made a grabbing move toward the medicinal pill.


    Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan was even faster than her, directly putting away the medicinal pill and medicinal embryo.


    "If no money, I''ll keep these two medicinal pills. Two Gale Celestial Stone Pills, the price shouldn''t be lower than eight million," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ning Siyu''s expression changed and she said, "You! No way! This medicinal pill, you can''t take it away!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, even if you give me more, I''ll return them to you. I said eight million, it means eight million. I won''t take a single cent more from you."


    Ning Siyu said exasperatedly, "No way! The Gale Celestial Stone Pill''s spirit medicines, I''ve collected for a long time. That''s for my big brother to use, you can''t sell it!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "That''s none of my business."


    Ning Siyu gritted her teeth and said, "It''s you who forced me! Look out for my sword!"


    Done talking, Ning Siyu stabbed toward Ye Yuan with a sword.


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan stood firm, finger lightly flicked, flicking on the flat of the blade, directly shocking the long sword until it slipped out of the hand.


    Ning Siyu was shocked until her wrist went numb and she said in surprise, "Are you a monster? Alchemy strength is so formidable, martial arts is actually this strong too?"


    Ning Siyu was an Origin Deity. Not saying that she was one of the best among peers, but she was also not what an initial-stage Origin Deity could casually defeat.


    But Ye Yuan actually just lightly flicked a bit and flicked her sword flying.


    Once this guy really made a move, how terrifying would that be?


    Regardless of whether it was alchemy or martial arts, Ning Siyu had always been very confident in her talent.


    She was not very hardworking in cultivation, but her strength was much stronger than her peers.


    All the way until today, she ran into Ye Yuan!


    This hateful guy shattered her confidence into pieces.


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with her and said coolly, "Go on!"


    Ning Siyu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet angrily and said, "Fine, I''ll pay up! Here, there''s four million in here, all for you! Now, I''m penniless and have nowhere to go anymore. You have to take me in!"


    "Ouch! Let me go! Quickly let me go! You �� What are you going to do?"


    Ye Yuan directly picked Ning Siyu up and walked outside the door.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest intention of being compassionate toward girls, directly throwing Ning Siyu out.

 1542 My Territory, I Make the Call

    "Will grant all requests? Heh, truly shameless boast! This old man has immersed in alchemy for so many years and still doesn''t dare to say this kind of big talk! No need to go and care about him. In a few days, their signboard will get smashed."


    Spreading from mouth to mouth, the news of Miracle Hand Parlor''s will grant all requests signboard spread out very quickly.


    Wu Feng heard about this Miracle Hand Parlor very soon. But regarding the will grant all requests signboard, he scoffed in derision.


    In this world, there was actually someone who dared to claim to grant all requests!


    "Master, really don''t need to care? I heard somebody saw that the presiding alchemist actually refined a rank three divine-grade divine pill!" said the manager.


    Wu Feng snickered when he heard that and said, "Rank three divine-grade divine pill? Something that propagates erroneously, you actually believe it too! Would someone capable of refining rank three divine-grade divine pills be inside a small medicine shop in this south city?"


    But the manager said, "Master, I say �� could it be that kid who cured Zhu Yongtian? That Miracle Hand Parlor is the current Thunderclap Gang''s business."


    Wu Feng''s expression turned stiff, instantly becoming incomparably ugly.


    That being said, it was really possible!


    "Humph! Isn''t he very capable? Then we''ll send a big gift over! I want to see how he grants all requests!" Wu Feng said with a cold smile.


    ...


    The Sun Moon Gang''s headquarters, Luo Yu and He Xiao were also very interested in this newly emerged Miracle Hand Parlor.


    "I''ve already inquired, Master Wu Feng already sentenced Zhu Yongtian to death. It seems like he was brought back to life by this newcomer kid from the Miracle Hand Parlor!"


    Luo Yu''s expression was somewhat ugly. This kid that popped out of no idea where actually ruined their good thing.


    Zhu Yongtian was Xing Guan''s right-hand man. His death was a tremendous loss to the Thunderclap Gang.


    He did not expect that Zhu Yongtian was actually saved by someone in the end. Furthermore, he was even brimming with vitality now, so how could this not anger Luo Yu?


    He Xiao smiled and said, "This kid has such high-sounding sentiments! Don''t talk about Master Wu Feng, even those masters in the inner city don''t dare to hang such a signboard too!"


    Luo Yu said, "Heh, he''s still young in the end. Saving Zhu Yongtian, he thinks that he''s an alchemy divine physician already. This kid went crazy wanting to be famous, right?"


    He Xiao said, "Since he wants to become famous, then let''s help him!"


    The two people exchanged a glance, revealing a knowing smile.


    ...


    Ning Siyu looked at the Ye Yuan currently diagnosing people''s pulse, a hint of fascination revealing in her eyes.


    Was this guy really around the same age as her?


    Why could he be impressive to such a degree?


    These few days, she followed along by Ye Yuan''s side, becoming a little medicine boy who filled prescriptions and refined medicine. But �� she actually did not have any complaints at all.


    Under her endless pestering, Ye Yuan finally agreed to let her stay.


    Once the news of the will grant all requests signboard spread out, the guests who dropped in naturally could not dispensed with.


    In-between this, there were naturally quite a few complicated and rare illnesses, and also quite a few martial artists who were heavily injured and on the verge of death.


    But arriving in front of Ye Yuan, not a single one could actually stump him.


    One could say, it was curing the illness when the medicine took effect.


    The will grant all requests signboard was really not joking around.


    At least all the way until now, a situation that could stump Ye Yuan had not occurred yet.


    Ning Siyu''s own alchemy standard was already very high. The majority of the situation here, she could resolve it.


    But there were that few cases, she was really helpless to do anything.


    However, Ye Yuan had the power to transform something rotten into magical. Until now, no accidents had occurred.


    Furthermore, each one that came to the Miracle Hand Parlor, Ye Yuan could virtually do it perfectly!


    Ning Siyu touched her own heart and asked herself, even those that she could handle, she could not do it as well as Ye Yuan too.


    No, should say way worse!


    This guy was simply not human!


    Over a few days, Ning Siyu was already thoroughly subdued by Ye Yuan.


    "Even though this guy boasted a lot, he really has the capital to boast!" Ning Siyu said to herself.


    Little Huan looked at Ning Siyu, feeling that she did not quite recognize her young lady anymore.


    Was this still that lawless and rampant young lady?


    These few days, her young lord was well-behaved like a little maid in front of Master Ye.


    If Master Ye asked her to go east, she absolutely would not dare to go west!


    Even the young lady''s master did not have this ability to subdue her too!


    However, Master Ye was really too incredible.


    Seemed �� even more incredible than the young Lady''s master!


    "Get lost! All get lost for me! I want to see a doctor, so the others all scram to the back!"


    Suddenly, three to five burly men barged right into Miracle Hand Parlor, driving all of the people outside.


    Bang!


    The burly man in the lead directly slapped a palm on the table, shattering the table to pieces and said highly-spiritedly, "Brat, attend to me first!"


    Ye Yuan currently had his eyes closed, reading someone''s pulse. He did not even lift his eyelids and said indifferently, "Your illness can''t be cured, leave."


    That burly man was stunned and said, "Motherf*cker, you didn''t even open your eyes, how do you know that my illness can''t be cured? Don''t you claim to grant all requests? Why, it''s bluffing people! I will smash your signboard right now! Who ask you to cheat people!"


    Ye Yuan still said unhurriedly, "Idiocy can''t be cured, there''s only reincarnating anew!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately tickled everyone.


    The burly man''s face turned red and he bellowed, "All shut up for your father! Who dares to laugh again, your father will make you never able to laugh out loud!"


    Everyone''s face changed, all shutting their mouths sensibly.


    Everyone all recognized who this burly man was. He was the Silverfeather Gang''s sixth head, Chen Biao, a guy who killed people without batting an eyelid.


    If he said to kill people, it was never joking around with you.


    "Kid, you dare to fool me? Do you know who I am?"


    Chen Biao pointed at Ye Yuan, already reaching his nose.


    Ye Yuan said calmly, "Don''t care who you are, go to the back and queue up. Those who cause trouble here, there''s no treatment without exception!"


    Chen Biao was just about to fly off the handle when a hulking man barged in from outside.


    "Chen Biao, you dare to cause trouble in our Thunderclap Gang''s territory? Do you believe that I''ll exterminate you right now?"


    This hulking man was none other than precisely Meng Huo.


    He heard that Chen Biao came to the Miracle Hand Parlor in great haste, and he immediately brought people to rush over.


    Chen Biao''s eyes swiveled and he said with a smile, "Your father isn''t causing trouble. Your father came to see a doctor today! I have a brother who got a strange illness that can''t be cured no matter what. When we heard that this Miracle Hand Parlor will grant all requests, we came to see a doctor."


    The moment Meng Huo heard, his brows involuntarily knitted together and looked toward the stretcher that Chen Biao brought.


    A middle-aged man laid on the stretcher, his complexion waxy, both eyes deeply sunken, already on his dying breath.


    He was clear in his heart: this guy definitely came specially to find trouble.


    This illness was probably not that easy to treat.


    "Then what''s with this?" Meng Huo pointed at the shattered table and said in a deep voice.


    Chen Biao said coolly, "Wasn''t I worried about my brother''s safety and was somewhat anxious?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Want to see a doctor, queue up. Not seeing, get lost!"


    Chen Biao said in a cold voice, "Humph! There are still so many people in front. If my brother were to die, can you shoulder the responsibility?"


    Ye Yuan said without a care, "If he dies, he dies, what has it got to do with me? My territory, I make the call! Queuing up is my rule here. I''m not going to see you. you can get lost already!"

 1543 Everyone Coming to MakeTrouble

    Chen Biao''s expression changed a few times. Finally, he gave a cold snort and went to the back to queue up obediently.


    The boss made it clear, the important thing was to smash the signboard, not cause trouble.


    In the words of the chief head: since they dare to put up a will grant all requests signboard, they must be able to withstand exposure to the elements.


    That guy on the stretcher was the big gift that the boss carefully prepared!


    When Meng Huo saw Chen Biao retreat, being well-behaved, he had an even more foreboding premonition.


    Chen Biao''s temper was very similar to his, with both being the impatient and hot-tempered type. Normally, he would have long come to blows.


    There must be something strange for things to be this abnormal!


    That guy on the stretcher was probably not easy to treat!


    Meng Huo looked over toward Ye Yuan rather worriedly and discovered that Ye Yuan''s expression was normal and did not seem to care at all.


    Even though he was very confident in Ye Yuan, to an alchemist, to not know something was quite normal.


    Treating one strange and difficult disease did not mean that he was omnipotent.


    Ye Yuan being able to cure Zhu Yongtian did not mean he could treat everybody.


    Regarding Ye Yuan hanging this plaque, Meng Huo still begged to differ in his heart.


    Not just him, everyone including their boss, they were all rather worried.


    After all, once this plaque was hung, who they would offend would not be one or two people!


    Most likely, the entire south city, even the entire imperial city''s alchemists would come to find trouble!


    "Ning Siyu, go and make a medicinal soup according to this prescription and let him drink it." Ye Yuan casually wrote a prescription and instructed Ning Siyu to go and do things.


    "Alright!" Ning Siyu got up excitedly and received the prescription from Ye Yuan''s hands, and she went to boil the medicine subserviently.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being incomparably shocked.


    This lass was a middle-stage Origin Deity, to actually be ordered about by Master Ye.


    Looking at the lass''s appearance, she even seemed to be enjoying it.


    A few days in, Ning Siyu''s standard still obtained Ye Yuan''s recognition.


    Although a little impetuous, she was indeed a good sapling, having a very high level of comprehension.


    Brewing medicine with her middle-rank Three-star Alchemy God status was naturally wasting talented people for trivial tasks.


    "Next!" Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    At this time, another group of people poured in.


    Seeing this group of people, Meng Huo''s brows furrowed even tighter.


    The arrival was the Sun Moon Gang''s fifth head, Ding Song.


    Behind this group of people, a foolish-looking young man was brought along, saliva drooling.


    Seeing this simpleton, Meng Huo''s heart abruptly sunk.


    He naturally recognized this simpleton. That was the eldest son of the Qian Family within the Sun Moon Gang''s sphere of influence, Qian Ping.


    Since birth, Qian Ping was a simpleton, all the way until now.


    The children of Deity Realm powerhouses would rarely have simpletons appear.


    But Qian Ping was a simpleton!


    Because the Qian Family''s family head only had this one son, in order to treat this son''s intellectual disability, the divine essence stones he spent were an astronomical figure.


    The top alchemists in the outer cities, including Master Wu Feng, had all treated Qian Ping before, but they were all helpless.


    It was said that Qian Ping was born with his divine soul incomplete, and that was why it caused his intellect level to be low.


    But inherent divine soul inadequacy, this was an ailment that all alchemists found hard to overcome. How could it be that easy to cure?


    Forget about Wu Feng, even if a Four-star Alchemy God came, they would be helpless too.


    Meng Huo''s face fell and he said, "Ding Song, you want to come and cause trouble too?"


    But Ding Song was different from Chen Biao''s rashness and said with a smile, "What are you saying? This Miracle Hand Parlor is famous now. I''m bringing Boss Qian over to see a doctor. How can it be said to be causing trouble? But �� if this will grant all requests signboard of yours is fake, then everyone won''t be able to accept it either, right?"


    This card he played, including Chen Biao''s earlier, caused jeerings from everyone.


    Meng Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Ding Song, you''re clearly looking for fault here! Qian Ping is born with his divine soul incomplete, there''s no cure at all. You brought him here, what is it if not harboring ulterior motives?"


    The corners of Ding Song''s mouth curled slightly and he said with a smile, "Meng Huo, I don''t understand what you said. Will grant all requests, these four words, is it said for fun? Now, we have a request for Master Ye, shouldn''t he definitely agree to it? Or is it that your Miracle Hand Parlor''s signboard is deceiving everyone?"


    Meng Huo could not help choking, he was rendered speechless by what Ding Song said.


    He currently felt that Ye Yuan was simply shooting himself in the foot here.


    Hanging such a plaque, wasn''t it giving people a reason to act?


    He had yet to think of a way to answer when another wave of people came in.


    "Yo, this small medicine shop is so crowded today!" the person in front said with a playful smile.


    This person, Meng Guo naturally knew him as well. He was called Huang Haoran and had a very close relationship with Deyi Hall.


    Looking at the person Huang Haoran brought, Meng Huo''s expression was somber to the extreme.


    This guy definitely came on behalf of Wu Feng!


    Wu Feng taking action was different from other people making a move.


    He himself was the pinnacle-most Three-star Alchemy God. He was all too familiar with alchemy.


    What illness was easy to treat, what ailment was not easy to treat, he was really clear of things.


    This person that Huang Haoran brought, Meng Huo knew him too. He was Huang Haoran''s nephew called Huang Qian.


    A few years ago, Huang Qian went o a mystic realm to search for treasures and narrowly escaped with his life. But ever since then, not only did he lose his cultivation completely, his entire person seemed to have lost his soul as well, becoming a walking corpse.


    Huang Haoran regarded this nephew very highly. He even brought Huang Qian to find Wu Feng before, but Wu Feng did not find out the reason for his problem.


    Later, Wu Feng even invited the other west city and north city''s alchemy experts over to take a look. Nobody could find any problem.


    Hence, this dragged out for quite a number of years.


    Meng Huo was seething with hatred in his heart.


    Their Thunderclap Gang did not offend Master Wu Feng either. They merely had Ye Yuan save Second Brother. Was there a need to be like this?


    Could it be that they had to passively watch Second Brother die?


    This Master Wu Feng actually hated them so much out of jealousy. This made Meng Huo very vexed.


    They had spent quite a number of divine essence stones to show filial respect to Wu Feng these few years!


    They did not expect that he suddenly turned hostile at the drop of a hat.


    Furthermore, did this bunch of guys make an appointment to come and find trouble together today?


    Meng Huo very much wanted to chase all these guys away. He used a probing glance to look at Ye Yuan, but he discovered that Ye Yuan was very absorbed and did not care about these people at all.


    "Eh, this is Master Ye? Truly, heroes come from youngsters, will grant all requests! Heh heh, impressive! Impressive!" Huang Haoran said with an amused look.


    Anybody could discern the sarcasm in these words.


    However, this was not over yet.


    Heavenly Fragrance Parlor, Five Flavor Pavilion, etc, the south city''s famous major medicine shops all sent people over.


    Some were seeking pills, some were treating illnesses.


    But without a doubt, they were all some extremely difficult, strange, and complicated ailments.


    These major medicine shops were all under the three great families'' command, their strength immense.


    Even though their presiding alchemist was not as impressive as Wu Feng, they were not far off too.


    These people seemed to have agreed upon it, all gathering in Miracle Hand Parlor.


    Clearly, this ''Will Grant All Requests'' of Ye Yuan''s had incurred public wrath.


    When Meng Huo saw this scene, he could not help feeling a headache.


    Opening the door and doing business, he had no reason to chase people away.


    "What the hell is this Master Ye doing? This �� This is totally drawing aggro! How will the Thunderclap Gang still make a living in south city in the future?" Meng Huo was virtually going crazy.


    But by the side, Ning Siyu looked at this scene rather amusedly, her beautiful eyes staring at Ye Yuan, wanting to see what he would do.

 1544 Open Your Dog Eyes and Take a Look!

    At Deyi Hall, Wu Feng had been waiting for the news over there all along.


    Hearing about the Miracle Hand Parlor''s situation, Wu Feng was delighted.


    "Huhu, this old man didn''t expect it. This kid incurred public wrath! I want to see how he cleans up the mess today!" Wu Feng said with a grin.


    The manager was also very surprised by this situation currently.


    He did not expect that of the south city''s six major forces, the three great families and two major gangs, all made a move against a puny little Miracle Hand Parlor.


    But thinking about it, the manager also felt at ease.


    This punk was too arrogant, insisting on hanging what ''Will Grant All Requests'' plaque. Wasn''t this looking for a fight?


    "Master played a vicious move this time! That Huang Qian, even Four-star Alchemy Gods are helpless. If that boy can be saved, it would be preposterous," the manager said with a smile.


    Wu Feng smiled and said, "Heh, that kid is too arrogant. I''m teaching him how to behave! This Heavenspan World is too big. He has only lived for a few days. The illnesses that he hasn''t seen are too many, to actually dare boast so shamelessly."


    The things that Meng Huo knew were just a bit.


    Back then when Wu Feng promised Huang Haoran, it was not just because he had a good relationship with Huang Haoran, it was also because his stubborn temper flared up at that time, insisting on overcoming this difficult hurdle.


    Alchemists were all a little stubborn, Wu Feng was no exception either.


    Such a hard to come by symptom, Wu Feng naturally wanted to overcome it.


    For the sake of Huang Qian, Wu Feng did not even scruple to bring him into the inner city''s Pill Tower, asking his master for help.


    In the end, he still could not find out anything about the condition.


    Wu Feng''s master was a Pill Tower''s Four-star Alchemy God. Even he could not do anything about it. Could this kid then?


    He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death!


    ...


    At this time, inner city''s Pill Tower, a benign-looking old man was currently lecturing a young man.


    "Already found out about your younger sister''s news. She''s currently at the south city''s Cinnamon Street. You go and bring her back," the old man said.


    The young man had a look of embarrassment and said with a bow, "Master Xuan Yu, my sister is too mischievous and has troubled Master."


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Your sister is all right in everything. She''s just a little too condescending. Her alchemy talent is indeed incomparable. But this path isn''t what talent alone can determine. Other people''s talent is inferior to hers, but others are more hardworking than her!"


    The young man sweat profusely and said, "Master lectured justly! Capturing her back this time, I''ll definitely discipline her well!"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "You don''t have to be like this. That lass''s personality, you know it. The more stubborn you''re with her, the more stubborn she is to you. You don''t need to forcefully bring her back as well. Let her suffer a bit of hardship outside. It might be a good thing for her. The Pill Tower''s competition is about to start. You just bring her back before the competition and that will do."


    The young man bowed and said, "Yes!"


    ...


    Inside the Miracle Hand Parlor, Ye Yuan''s speed of diagnosing and treating was very fast.


    Chen Biao, Ding Song, and the rest had already waited for a very long time. But the expressions on their faces were somewhat different from when they just came.


    Those people queued in front of them could be said to have their symptoms vanish as the medicine took effect.


    And the people who requested pills, what they got were actually all divine-grade medicinal pills!


    Divine-grade!


    Even though what Ye Yuan refined today were all not some too difficult to refine medicinal pills, divine-grade medicinal pills, this in itself already indicated many problems.


    This guy really had the ability!


    But very soon, Chen Biao and Ding Song felt at ease.


    To be able to bring Zhu Yongtian back to life, Ye Yuan''s strength was definitely extraordinary.


    They were very confident in their coming to find trouble today. What the three great families and two major gangs sent here today were all famous complicated and strange ailments of the south city. The numerous big-shot Alchemy Gods of south city were unable to resolve them.


    Finally, it was Chen Biao''s turn.


    "Carry him over," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Chen Biao did a hand gesture and ordered people to carry in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Kid, if my brother has his diagnosis and treatment delayed, I will smash this shop of yours!" Chen Biao threatened him.


    The moment Meng Huo heard, he flared up and said with a cold smile, "You just try making a move! Do you really take my Thunderclap Gang to have no one?"


    But Chen Biao said indifferently, "Since I brought the person in, then his life is your responsibility! If he dies, it means that your ''Will Grant All Requests'' signboard is a sham! Why can''t I smash it?"


    Meng Huo could not help choking when he heard that and said in a cold voice, "Master Ye hasn''t treated him yet, of course it doesn''t count! Chen Biao, if you dare to make trouble, do you believe that you can''t walk out of Cinnamon Street today or not?"


    Chen Biao directly took out a divine artifact and said with a cold smile, "Your father doesn''t believe it. What can you do to me?"


    The others also all watched the two people fight gloatingly, smiles all over their faces.


    Those present currently all hoped for the Miracle Hand Parlor to close up shop. They naturally stood on Chen Biao''s side.


    Furthermore, the three great families and two major gangs moving out collectively also drew quite a number of people to surround and watch.


    Normally, these people would have long flown off the handle and drove everyone away.


    But today, they wanted to see the appearance of the Miracle Hand Parlor getting disgraced.


    "Fifth Head, this is your mistake! Since he came in, then you guys naturally have to take responsibility."


    "Yeah. Saying it like this isn''t fair. No matter which medicinal shop you go to, when the person enters the door, curing or killing is all a matter of the alchemist''s level."


    "This person looks like he already can''t make it, you guys still wanted him to wait in line. Isn''t this harming people?"


    ...


    The onlookers also clamored to get a word in, saying until Meng Huo was livid with rage.


    "Alright, carry away!" right then, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    Everyone was stunned. A hint of a smug smile revealed on the faces Ding Song, Huang Haoran, and the rest.


    Resolved it so quickly?


    This guy was an utter fraud!


    "Hahaha �� Brothers, smash for me! Smash it hard! Just this level, still will grant all requests?"


    After staring blankly, Chen Biao let out a loud laugh and immediately instructed his subordinates to make a scene.


    "You dare?!" Right then, a pretty figure stepped forward bravely, standing in front of Chen Biao.


    "Where did this girlie come from? Don''t want to live anymore? You guys failed to save him and still don''t let us smash the shop?" Chen Biao glared fiercely and roared at Ning Siyu.


    But Ning Siyu was completely fearless and said with a disdainful smile, "Open your dog eyes and take a look. He''s already brought back to life. What qualifications do you have to smash the shop?"


    Everyone froze once more. Chen Biao said with a big laugh, "Brought back to life? He''s still lying �� lying �� Eh, you''re fine?"


    When Chen Biao was laughing hard, that middle-aged man on the stretcher slowly opened his eyes and actually got up on his own.


    When everyone saw this scene, they all clicked their tongues in wonder.


    The waxen complexion on the middle-aged man''s face disappeared. His face was still a little haggard, but his whole person looked like he was no longer in jeopardy.


    "This �� What''s going on here?"


    "F*ck me, this is also too magical. In but a few sentences time, he cured the person?"


    "This Master Ye really isn''t boasted out. His means are simply fantastical!"


    ...


    The looks of amazement on everyone''s faces could not be concealed no matter what.


    Astonishment was written all over Chen Biao''s face. Only now did he understand that Ye Yuan''s meaning was that the person was cured and could be carried away, and not can''t be cured and to be carried away.


    This �� was too freaking bullsh*t!


    An illness that was not cured after wandering more than half of the south city''s medicine shops, but coming here and in the time it took to say a few sentences, it was then cured?

 1545 Preposterous Prices

    "Six million divine essence stones, pay up," Ye Yuan said indifferently. He could not be bothered with Chen Biao''s astonishment.


    The moment these words came out, Chen Biao''s eyes became wide saucers.


    "S-Six million? You just casually fiddled a bit and it''s six million? You''re robbing money!" Chen Biao said in shock.


    Ye Yuan used a look like looking at a fool to look at him and said coolly, "Casually fiddled a bit? Then why don''t I put this thing back for him, you see if you have the ability to get it out?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan held his palm out. A transparent little bug appeared on his palm.


    Ye Yuan put a restriction on this little bug, making it unable to escape.


    That little bug was colliding randomly everywhere inside the restriction. Everyone all drew a cold breath when they saw.


    Ning Siyu said with a cold smile, "This bug is called Myriad Corpse Tendon Biting Worm, hidden inside some ancient powerhouses'' ancient tombs. It loves to devour martial artists'' meridians the most. Furthermore, once it enters the meridians, it''s like a bone-infesting maggot, very hard to force it out! In the entire outer city, apart from Master Ye, nobody can save him! Six million to buy a life and you still find it expensive?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Siyu, being rather surprised, not expecting that this lass was actually so knowledgeable.


    He had just listened to Dustless''s introduction before he knew that this thing was called the Myriad Corpse Tendon Biting Worm too.


    Actually, Ning Siyu was even more surprised than Ye Yuan. While she knew about this Myriad Corpse Tendon Biting Worm, she also knew that it was extremely troublesome.


    Even if her master can, he might not have the confidence to force this thing out.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan just pressed a few times on that person''s body and he forced this thing out.


    This level of skill was simply inconceivable.


    Chen Biao''s expression changed repeatedly and said in a solemn voice, "I''m resigned to my bad luck! Wu Zhao, this is your life, so you pay up yourself!"


    Wu Zhao said with a bitter face, "I �� I don''t have that many divine essence stones."


    Chen Biao said with a cold smile, "Then it''s none of my business! Let''s go!"


    Chen Biao gave a big wave of his hand and was about to bring people away.


    But Ye Yuan said coldly, "You brought him to see the doctor, so it''s naturally you who pays!"


    Chen Biao laughed coldly and said, "Your father just isn''t going to pay. What can you do to me?"


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan suddenly slammed a punch out. It was just that this punch was like a turtle in Chen Biao''s view.


    Just an initial-stage Origin Deity, he also dared to use force against him?


    He also mustered up a punch and smashed towards Ye Yuan.


    This punch of his was powerful and heavy. Even if it could not kill Ye Yuan, it was also more than enough for him to chew on.


    Ding Song and the rest also looked at Ye Yuan gloatingly, clearly feeling that Ye Yuan was overestimating his own ability a little.


    But a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Meng Huo''s mouth. He had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan before and was aware of the strangeness of Ye Yuan''s movement technique.


    Bang!


    Just as the two fists were about to intersect, Ye Yuan''s fist disappeared bizarrely and directly appeared in front of Chen Biao''s face, blasting him, his figure flying out.


    This punch directly beat Chen Biao''s face until it was a blurry mess of flesh and blood, and he did not come back to his senses for a while.


    "Meng Huo, detain this guy. Let their chief head bring divine essence stones to redeem him," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Meng Huo had an excited look and immediately stepped forward and sealed Chen Biao''s divine sea, wanting to detain him.


    Everyone looked at this scene with immense astonishment, all wondering whether or not their eyesight was failing.


    An initial-stage Origin Deity stunned a late-stage Origin Deity with one punch!


    This Master Ye was someone who did not reveal his true self!


    By the time Chen Biao reacted, he was already restrained by Meng Huo. He finally felt a trace of panic.


    "I �� I have money! I''ll pay the money! Pay the money!"


    Chen Biao''s heart was dripping blood. Originally, he thought that it was an almost guaranteed successful mission. He did not expect that now, it actually became like this.


    What did that kid do just now? Why did his fist suddenly disappear?


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said coolly, "Those without money can get lost. I''m not running a charity hall here."


    Ding Song did not take it seriously and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Isn''t it just six million divine essence stones? Our Boss Qian has plenty of money."


    Huang Haoran also said, "Just six million, it''s not considered expensive."


    Ye Yuan shot a glance at them and said, "This innate incomplete divine essence, 20 million. This one is Deyi Hall''s, right? 50 million! Also, that side, they are 10 million and 13 million respectively. Those who want to see a doctor, prepare the divine essence stones. If you don''t have money, please leave."


    "Hiss ��"


    The people surrounding and watching felt a chill when they heard. This �� was simply charging preposterously.


    Seeing a doctor needed 50 million?


    50 million was simply an astronomical figure to an Origin Deity powerhouse.


    When Boss Qian heard the price of 20 million, he also grimaced in pain. This was virtually all of his assets.


    But he resolved his heart and said, "As long as Master Ye can save my son, 20 million it is then!"


    The Heavenly Fragrance Parlor and Five Flavor Pavilion weighed it over and also agreed.


    It was just that the price of 50 million intimidated Huang Haoran.


    Even if he sold himself, he could not take out so much money too!


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said directly to Boss Qian, "You go and raise the money first. I have to bring your son in."


    Boss Qian was just about to agree, but he heard Ding Song say, "Hang on! 20 million isn''t a small sum. What if Boss Qian raises the money, but you can''t cure Qian Ping''s illness, what then?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a cold glance and said coolly, "Are you questioning me?"


    Ding Song involuntarily choked up. Questioning an alchemist, this was a big taboo.


    Since they came to see a doctor, they naturally had to trust the other party.


    But when Boss Qian saw the situation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Ye, don''t hesitate to treat. I''ll go and raise the money right now!"


    Finished talking, Boss Qian directly turned around and went out.


    After Ye Yuan brought Qian Ping into the inner hall, there were immediately animated discussions in the lobby.


    "Holysh*t! This consultation �� is also too expensive, right? This is bankrupting a family''s fortune!"


    "What the hell do you understand?! Master Ye is taking them down a notch here! These people are clearly here to make a scene, his fees are naturally high!"


    "Not quite so! What these few factions brought are all the south city''s famous complicated and strange illnesses! If it were that easy to treat, it would have long been treated!"


    ...


    After roughly four hours, Ye Yuan brought Qian Ping out of the inner hall.


    At the back, Ning Siyu''s gaze was full of shock.


    Clearly, everything that happened in the inner hall utterly astounded her.


    "F-Father!" Qian Ping used a shaky tone and called out at Boss Qian.


    Boss Qian''s entire body trembled, tears instantly bursting out of his eyes.


    His son was really cured!


    At this moment, Qian Ping''s eyes were radiant, totally different from that foolish look previously!


    "P-Ping-er! You �� You''re really fine already?" Boss Qian still did not quite dare to believe it until now.


    Qian Ping nodded and said, "Master Ye is truly godlike! He has already compensated for my divine soul. This child is now �� no different from a normal person!"


    "Good! Good! Really great!" Tears poured down Boss Qian''s old face, his long-cherished wish finally fulfilled at this moment.


    Qian Ping''s divine soul was incomplete, but his memories these few years were still present.


    The father and son two people hugged each other and cried, making everyone shed a few silent tears.


    They all knew how much effort and price Boss Qian expended for the sake of today!


    "Father, from this day forth, this child will definitely carry out filial piety to the two of you! Ping-er definitely won''t disappoint you!" Qian Ping said and wept bitterly.

 1546 Foul-Mouthed

    "Quick, Ping-er, quickly kowtow toward Master Ye! Master Ye gave the grace of rebirth to our Qian Family!" Boss Qian said to his son.


    The divine essence stones that he spent over so many years were more than 20 million.


    Even though 20 million was a lot, to be able to save his son, everything was worth it.


    Hence, not only did Boss Qian not complain about it being expensive, he was instead overflowing with gratitude toward Ye Yuan.


    "Yes, Father!"


    Qian Ping voiced his assent and was just about to bow his head, but then he heard Ding Song snorted coldly. Ding Song said, "He received money and saved people, it''s his duty. What''s there to be grateful about? Since you''re cured, you father and son can go back."


    Boss Qian''s expression changed, aware that Ding Song got angry. So he could only bring Qian Ping back.


    Even though the Qian Family was a well-known tycoon, they relied on the Sun Moon Gang to survive. How could they dare to offend Ding Song?


    Ding Song did not have the intention of leaving. He and Chen Biao whose face was covered in blood both stayed behind.


    They did not believe that Ye Yuan could really resolve all of these problems.


    They also understood that the hardest one here was still Huang Qian!


    This point, some inkling could be seen from Ye Yuan''s asking price.


    Huang Haoran already went to find Wu Feng. It was just that he did not know whether Wu Feng would give this sum of money or not.


    A sky-high price of 50 million was not what anybody could take out.


    However, this sum of money was definitely no problem for Wu Feng. It just depended on whether he was willing or not.


    At this time, the other two families'' divine essence stones were also brought here. Same as Qian Ping, their patients were brought into the inner hall.


    The Miracle Hand Parlor''s shopkeeper collected money today until his hands were cramping.


    He had lived for most of his life and had never seen before so much money.


    In less than a day''s time, they already earned 50 million divine essence stones!


    There was still a huge sum of 50 million that might still be on the way right now.


    100 million!


    Since the Miracle Hand Parlor opened shop, the total divine essence stones gained was less than even a fraction of today''s sales!


    The shopkeeper had lived for so long and it was his first time feeling that earning money was so easy.


    At this time, Huang Haoran rushed over hurriedly.


    A hint of surprise flashed across the faces of Ding Song and the rest. Looks like Master Wu Feng really paid this sum of money!


    Tsk tsk, 50 million!


    What a huge deal!


    It seemed like Master Wu Feng was also very confident in this problem that he had schemed.


    This also made everyone have an additional trace of confidence in their hearts.


    From the start until now, Ye Yuan already beat their confidence until there was not a patch of skin left whole.


    Nobody could have expected that this Master Ye was actually so incredible. Really will grant all requests. Even the idiocy of Boss Qian''s son was cured.


    After two hours, those two people brought inside by Ye Yuan also came out.


    All cured!


    "Master Ye is really incredible! Whatever strange and difficult illness, he can cure them! This will grant all requests signboard really lives up to its reputation!"


    "No matter what the final result is, Master Ye''s strength is already indisputable! Probably even Master Wu Feng can''t match up to him as well!"


    "But I feel that this Huang Qian, he probably can''t cure him. For Master Wu Feng to dare make this heavy bet, there must be something that we don''t know! Perhaps �� he has already found a Four-star alchemy god to take a look at it before!"


    "It''s also not impossible! After all, Master Wu Feng came out of the Pill Tower."


    ...


    No matter what, the Miracle Hand Parlor''s reputation was thoroughly established today.


    Even though this ''Will Grant All Requests'' was very offensive to the eyes, without a doubt, Master Ye had the capital to be arrogant.


    Everyone all understood in their hearts, after today, Master Wu Feng''s title of number one alchemist of south city would likely change owners.


    Five major forces joined hands to come and find trouble today, but they did not expect that it established Master Ye Yuan''s fame!


    Huang Haoran was conflicted in his heart. He was aware of Wu Feng''s goal, but Huang Qian was the nephew that he valued the most.


    When he heard that Ye Yuan had even cured Qian Ping, he involuntarily gave rise to a trace of hope in his heart.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Huang Haoran nonchalantly and said, "Brought the divine essence stones?"


    Huang Haoran said, "Brought it. As long as you can cure Huang Qian, 50 million will be presented in full!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Bring him over then."


    Huang Haoran led the zombie-like Huang Qian and came before Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan started diagnosing his pulse. Traces of divine essence probed into Huang Qian''s body.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed together.


    When Ding Song, Chen Biao, and the rest saw this scene, their brows could not help raising.


    Finally, stumped this brat!


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes, as if running into some big problem.


    Time slowly trickled by. In a twinkle, four hours passed. Ye Yuan never opened his eyes.


    Ding Song and the rest finally could not hold back anymore.


    "Hey, can you do it or not? Stop pretending over there, you''ve already diagnosed the pulse for four hours!" Ding Song suddenly shouted.


    "Are you trying to drive all of us away by dawdling? Heh heh, this shop of yours, I will smash it today!" Chen Biao also said.


    "Kid, stop feigning! I''ve never seen before that diagnosing a pulse can take four hours!"


    "Brothers, attack for me! Smash!"


    The group of people was long impatient from waiting. With Ding Song taking the lead, they immediately exploded.


    Five major forces, a total of no less than 30 people came today, all watching here.


    When they made a move all at once, Meng Huo alone could not stop it.


    "I see who dares to move!"


    At this time, Ning Siyu''s long sword flashed, glaring at Ding Song and the rest.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s lack of activities, she was also burning with anxiety.


    But she believed that Ye Yuan definitely was not buying time but really diagnosing the pulse.


    One could only say that this person''s condition was indeed very complicated.


    As Master Ye''s little medicine boy, she could not watch this group of people smash the store.


    In the crowd, a young man looked at Ning Siyu with some surprise.


    His own younger sister''s performance, he took it all into his sights today.


    At first, he even somewhat doubted if he found the wrong person or not.


    Ning Siyu actually did not have any complaints at all being ordered about by Ye Yuan.


    Normally, when she learned alchemy at her master there, there would be a whole string of complaints about doing a bit more work.


    But now, she actually even made a move for the sake of this young man.


    "Oho, what a pretty little lass! You won''t have a good end following this liar. Why not �� follow your Grandpa Biao. Serve Grandpa Biao comfortably and you''ll have endless glory and wealth! Haha ��" Chen Biao laughed loudly and said.


    A middle-stage Origin Deity little girl, he did not take her seriously at all.


    Not everyone was Ye Yuan, able to blast him flying with one punch.


    Slap!


    No idea where a slap came from. Chen Biao flew right out of the door, flying onto the street.


    "Goodness, Sixth Head �� is dead!" Outside, someone suddenly exclaimed.


    Everyone hurriedly went to the street and took a look, discovering that Chen Biao had already breathed his last.


    He was actually slapped to death by someone with one slap!


    Everyone exchanged glances, completely not knowing what had happened.


    Chen Biao was a late-stage Origin Deity powerhouse. He was actually slapped to death with one slap?


    Furthermore �� who in the world took action?


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.


    Ning Siyu suddenly detected the abnormality behind her and could not help turning to look, and said with pleasant surprise, "Master Ye, is there a chance?"

 1547 Annex

    "You all wait here. I''ll go refine medicinal pills!" Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly.


    Everyone''s face turned somber and could not help looking at Ye Yuan with surprise.


    Could it be that this kid really had a way to cure Huang Qian?


    No way, he must be pretending to be calm!


    But now, seeing Chen Biao get smacked to death with one slap, nobody dared to move anymore.


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Fangrong a very meaningful glance, turned around, and went into the inner hall.


    Ning Fangrong was shocked inwardly. Could it be that this kid saw through that it was him who took action?


    He shouldn''t be able to, right?


    No one present could perceive it, yet, this kid could discern it?


    However, this kid is really very impressive. That punch from before should be of spatial laws, right?


    Truly remarkable, disregarding that his alchemy talent is heaven-defying, his martial arts talent is also this terrifying.


    Truly a freak!


    Ning Siyu also wanted to follow Ye Yuan in but was rejected by Ye Yuan with words.


    The refinement this time, Ye Yuan had to use the Profound Yellow Cauldron and naturally could not let Ning Siyu watch by the side.


    "Tch, don''t look then, what''s the big deal!" Ning Siyu stomped her feet angrily.


    ...


    Sun Moon Gang''s headquarters, a middle-aged man slowly walked out of the hidden chamber.


    Seeing this middle-aged man, He Xiao''s face revealed a look of wild elation.


    "Congratulations to Big Brother for breaking through the shackles, becoming a Divine Lord powerhouse!" He Xiao said with joy all over his face.


    This middle-aged man was precisely the Sun Moon Gang''s chief head, Xiao Riyue.


    He went into a ten-year terminal seclusion and finally broke free of the shackles today, breaking through the calm, becoming a Divine Lord Realm existence admired by tens of thousands of people.


    This was a tremendous leap. It could be said to be soaring to the heavens in one bound.


    Origin Deity Realm was no different from ants to Divine Lord Realm.


    Xiao Riyue was in high and vigorous spirits, his entire person''s bearing worlds apart from before.


    "Huhu, Second Brother, it''s been hard on you these few years!" Xiao Riyue said with a faint smile.


    Standing in front of Xiao Riyue, He Xiao felt tremendous pressure.


    He knew that this big brother of his was no longer that big brother in the past!


    "What''s Big Brother saying? Isn''t this what I should do?" He Xiao hurriedly said.


    Xiao Riyue chuckled and said with boundless enthusiasm, "Second Brother, I know that it wasn''t easy on you these few years. But starting from today, this south city will be monopolized by our Sun Moon Gang alone! At least, we have to stand as equals with the three great families! In the future, the Sun Moon Gang is yours!"


    He Xiao was wildly elated in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face and hurriedly said, "Big Brother is too serious. You''ll always be the Sun Moon Gang''s boss. I''m only helping Big Brother manage it a bit."


    Xiao Riyue glanced at He Xiao, very satisfied with his attitude, and said with a laugh, "Haha, you and I are brothers for how many years already, do we still need to distinguish between you and me?"


    While the two people were talking, Luo Yu came to visit.


    Xiao Riyue smiled and said, "Go, gobble up this Silverfeather Gang first."


    He Xiao smiled slightly, nodded his head, and followed after.


    When Luo Yu saw Xiao Riyue, his shock could not be any greater. He did not think that Xiao Riyue really broke through!


    They, these half-step divine lords, would have someone go into closed-seclusion to breakthrough at every turn. But less than a fraction were really able to break through.


    Although the hope of Xiao Riyue breaking through was high, it was also just merely hopeful.


    Breaking through to Divine Lord Realm was too difficult!


    Luo Yu did not expect that Xiao Riyue really broke through to Divine Lord Realm in one go.


    Henceforth, the heavens of the south city had changed!


    "Head Luo seems to be very surprised." Xiao Riyue looked at Luo Yu and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Luo Yu''s expression was very ugly and he said awkwardly, "I-Indeed very surprised! I didn''t expect that we fought for so many years, but now, it''s such a result."


    Luo Yu had a bitter taste in his mouth. This result �� was really very harsh to the taste.


    Xiao Riyue smiled and said, "Fought for so many years, there should be a result too! Chief Head Luo, I wonder how you choose now?"


    Luo Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Do I still have a choice? If I don''t agree, I probably can''t get out of this door today, right?"


    Xiao Riyue laughed loudly and said, "He who understands the times is a wise man! Head Luo has always been a resourceful person among the three of us. Presumably, you won''t do foolish things."


    He Xiao suddenly said, "Brother Luo coming to my Sun Moon Gang, could it be that the Miracle Hand Parlor''s matter has a conclusion?"


    He Xiao had always been waiting for Xiao Riyue to exit seclusion. Regarding the Miracle Hand Parlor''s matters, he was really not very clear.


    Luo Yu coming over at this time, it was most likely because of the Miracle Hand Parlor''s matter.


    "Miracle Hand Parlor? Isn''t that a small medicine shop run by the Dragon Slaying Gang?" Xiao Riyue said with a frown.


    He Xiao nodded and said, "Big Brother isn''t aware, the recent period of time, a considerable change happened to the south city. And these changes all unfolded around this tiny little Miracle Hand Parlor!"


    He Xiao briefly recounted the matter of the Dragon Slaying Gang changing names, and the matter of the Miracle Hand Parlor shooting to fame recently.


    Xiao Riyue clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard this. He laughed and then said, "A mere initial-stage Origin Deity can actually stir up a storm in the south city, really not bad! Our south city''s three gangs are really missing a powerful alchemist."


    Luo Yu''s expression changed and he said with an ugly expression, "Brother Xiao, this kid just killed my sixth brother!"


    Xiao Riyue said coolly, "You came to find He Xiao because you wanted to join hands with him to exterminate the Dragon Slaying Gang together?"


    Luo Yu''s expression changed several times and he said with a nod, "Xing Guan''s character, Brother Xiao is aware too. He definitely won''t agree to merge into the Sun Moon Gang. Why not �� directly exterminate them."


    "Humph!"


    Xiao Riyue gave a cold snort. The power of the world suddenly erupted, immediately sending Luo Yu flying out.


    "Puhwark!"


    Luo Yu immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, suffering serious injuries.


    The might of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses was dreadfully appalling!


    "What I want to do, it still isn''t your turn to come and teach! Hearing you guys say it, I''m still very interested in that kid. If he really doesn''t know how to appreciate favors, just eradicate him!" Xiao Riyue said in a cold voice.


    Luo Yu was incomparably shocked in his heart. This was the power of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    This was the strength that he desired!


    He was not reconciled!


    But the situation was stronger than the person. In front of Xiao Riyue''s absolute strength, he could only yield.


    "It �� It was this Luo who was impetuous! Everything is up to Brother Xiao!" With extreme humiliation, Luo Yu bowed.


    ...


    Everyone looked at the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan''s hands, marveling endlessly.


    The fragrance emitting off that medicinal pill made them immensely intoxicated.


    This medicinal pill, they did not recognize it. But it was undoubtedly divine-grade.


    Ning Siyu did not recognize it either. But the undulation coming from the medicinal pill made her very certain that this medicinal pill was definitely very hard to refine.


    Even harder to refine than the Gale Celestial Stone Pill!


    No, wait, the Gale Celestial Stone Pill was not on the same level as this medicinal pill at all!


    When Ye Yuan refined the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, his breathing was steady. A situation where his divine essence was inadequate did not happen at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s entire person had chaotic breathing, his footsteps woozy. Clearly, it was the manifestation of excessive consumption of divine essence.


    This medicinal pill was absolutely not simple!


    "Ning Siyu, feed him the medicinal pill and help him refine the power of the medicinal pill with divine essence," Ye Yuan said.


    "Oh!"


    Ning Siyu received the medicinal pill and fed it to Huang Qian. Her palm urging, she started to help him refine the medicinal pill with divine essence.


    Very soon, a scene that made everyone exclaim in amazement occurred.

 1548 Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill

    Huang Qian''s entire body started trembling violently, golden blood seeping out from head to toe.


    His entire person became a blood-person, looking incomparably savage, shaking people to the core.


    This appearance looked too miserable.


    However, rays of golden light emitted from Huang Qian''s whole body. He actually appeared extremely sacred.


    This to and fro gave people an intense contrast, making everyone all somewhat uncertain what it meant.


    They were all very curious what kind of medicinal pill Ye Yuan gave Huang Qian to eat.


    "Ning Siyu, you can back away now. He''s about to go crazy. And you, suppress him. Don''t let him hurt people," Ye Yuan said to Huang Haoran.


    At this time, the expression on Huang Qian''s face was contorted, his entire person already on the verge of rampaging.


    Huang Qian was an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse too, his strength not weak.


    Once he rampaged, destructive power was still very great.


    When Huang Haoran saw his nephew''s anguished expression, he had a look of worry.


    "M-Master Ye, is he alright?" Huang Haoran asked worriedly.


    At this very moment, he already completely tossed Wu Feng''s mission to the back of his mind.


    Ye Yuan said calmly, "He got inflicted by an ancient strange poison called Purple Quill Marrow Extermination. The divine marrow in his entire body is already completely necrotic. His divine blood is also virtually crippled. Drag for another three to five months and his divine sense will be directly wiped out. The Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill can forcefully change his meridians and wash his marrow, replacing all of the divine blood in his whole body."


    Ning Siyu suddenly thought of something, opened her mouth wide, and cried out in shock, "Purple Quill Marrow Extermination! What he got inflicted with was actually the Purple Quill Marrow Extermination! I''ve always thought that this poison was just a legend. I didn''t think that it actually really exists!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised as he said, "You know the Purple Quill Marrow Extermination?"


    Ning Siyu''s eyes revealed a look of shock and she said, "I saw before sporadic records in a classic, saying that this poison is different from ordinary poison. The toxicity penetrates deep into the bone marrow and is capable of letting the divine blood all turn necrotic. There''s no cure at all! In the ancient era, many Four-star, Five-star, even higher realm Alchemy Gods have all attempted to overcome this poison, but nobody could do it at all! You �� You can really save him?"


    This Ning Siyu was really surprising, to have actually even heard of this poison before.


    But Ning Siyu''s words made everyone incredibly shocked.


    Although divine rank poison had no comparison with mortal poison, the principle was the same, both aiming to destroy the martial artist''s physiological functions.


    Even if martial artists broke through to Deity Realm, their physiological functions were also roughly the same as mortals.


    Divine marrow created divine blood, divine blood feedback to divine marrow.


    The recovery ability of Deity Realm powerhouses was extremely strong. Even if half of the body was destroyed, they could still recover.


    But this required divine blood to rebuild the divine marrow.


    However, if a kind of poison could penetrate deep into the marrow and kill all of the divine blood''s functions, then it would be powerless to save the situation.


    Because if these divine blood already lost its activity, there was no way to regenerate at all.


    This poison was extremely difficult to create. But once inflicted, it was also exceedingly difficult to remove.


    One could say that there was no cure!


    Purple Quill Marrow Extermination was this kind of poison.


    Ye Yuan only confirmed this poison through Dustless. But Dustless was also at a loss on what to do against this poison.


    Hearing Ning Siyu''s words, everyone sucked in a cold breath. Only then did they know the prowess that Huang Qian got inflicted with.


    A poison that could destroy the bone marrow was absolutely incomparably terrifying.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If my conjectures are right, Huang Qian should have been poisoned in some ancient ruins. At that time, he might not have taken it seriously. But after coming back, the moment the poison erupted, it became like this."


    Huang Haoran''s entire body trembled and he said with a nod, "Master Ye has the ability to divine the unknown. Huang Qian only became like this precisely after an expedition. But �� nobody could find the cause of his illness. I didn''t expect that he was actually inflicted with such a terrifying poison. Master, is �� is this Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill really useful?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax. If it''s useless, you can take away the 50 million. Actually, the spirit medicines that this medicinal pill requires, the value is already no less than 20 million. I only have this one portion on me. Charging you 50 million isn''t considered expensive."


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone all drew a cold breath. A rank three divine pill, just the cost was no less than 20 million. It could be seen how precious this medicinal pill was.


    "Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill, it sounds like it''s going to replace all of Huang Qian''s divine marrow. Can this kind of thing �� really be done?"


    "Not just changing the divine marrow, it also needs to change the blood! This kind of means is simply inconceivable!"


    "Never heard of this medicinal pill before. But looking at Huang Qian''s appearance, it seems very agonizing. It wouldn''t be that the divine marrow fails to be changed and the person dies first, right?"


    ...


    Changing marrow, this sort of thing, was simply unheard of.


    This domain was already an incomprehensible existence to ordinary martial artists.


    "ARGH!!"


    Huang Qian suddenly let out a miserable scream, his entire person turning into an afterimage, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long predicted it. Pointing through the air, he directly tapped Huang Qian flying.


    "Restrain him, don''t let him move. Take note, don''t touch his blood! There''s poison!" Ye Yuan said solemnly.


    Huang Haoran''s expression changed, the aura on his body suddenly erupting, immediately firing out several beams of light, binding Huang Qian up.


    Ye Yuan''s palm flipped, a pale-white flame immediately flew out.


    Boom!


    Huang Qian''s entire person turned into a fire person!


    Huang Haoran got a huge shock and roared, "Master Ye, you �� What are you doing?!"


    Ning Siyu''s gaze flickered and she said in a cold voice, "Shut up! Restrain him properly! His blood is highly toxic. If it isn''t purged cleanly, nobody will be spared here!"


    Everyone''s faces changed, only realizing how terrifying this poison was.


    One could say: death upon touch!


    Ye Yuan did not answer, controlling the flame non-stop, purging all of the poisonous blood forced out of Huang Qian''s body.


    No idea how long had passed either. Ye Yuan''s palm pulled back. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame on Huang Qian''s body receded like the tide.


    Huang Haoran''s gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan in incredible shock.


    On Huang Qian''s body, there was actually not a trace of scorch mark at all!


    "This �� What terrifying fire controlling arts!"


    "Even though it''s a rank two divine fire, the temperature pushes straight to rank three divine fire. It actually �� didn''t even leave behind a trace of burn mark!"


    "This really broadened my horizons today! Master Ye''s means are simply fantastical!"


    "No wonder he dares to hang the will grant all requests signboard. I feel that this signboard isn''t exaggerated at all now!"


    "However �� is he saved or not? Why do I feel that Huang Qian is no longer alive?"


    ...


    Huang Qian had already thoroughly ceased breathing, lying on the ground and not moving at all.


    But he was burned by the Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame for an hour and actually did not even leave behind any burn marks. This made everyone extremely amazed.


    But currently, the aura on Huang Qian''s body was feeble to the extreme. Huang Haoran also did not know whether Huang Qian was saved or not.


    But right then, powerful spiritual energy gathered from all directions with Huang Qian at the center.


    Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    This �� This was him going to break through?

 1549 Slightly Larger An

    When the spiritual energy completely dissipated, the aura on Huang Qian''s body already became stronger.


    Although he was still unconscious, everyone knew that he was already saved.


    "This �� He can also break through while asleep. Why doesn''t this kind of good thing happen to me?"


    "Screw off! This is thanks to Master Ye''s medicinal pill! This is cleansing the marrow, letting that boy cast off his old self and be reborn anew."


    "This medicinal pill is really too heaven-defying! Not only can it cure poison, but it can also actually help him break through! These 50 million divine essence stones are definitely worth the money!"


    ...


    Right at this time, Huang Qian slowly opened his eyes.


    "Second Uncle? I �� What''s wrong with me?" Huang Qian said with a dazed look.


    Huang Haoran had a broad smile on his face and said, "Qian-er, you quickly check if there is still anything off with your body?"


    Huang Qian was uncertain what it meant, but still complied with his words and checked, and said with a frown, "It''s �� It''s not right!"


    Huang Haoran''s expression changed and he said anxiously, "What? What''s wrong?"


    With Huang Qian saying so, the rest also became nervous.


    Especially Ding Song and the rest, each and every one of them were inexplicably delighted, perking their ears up.


    "I �� I feel that I seemed to have been remolded anew! The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is much faster than in the past! My cultivation talent seems to have improved considerably from before! What in the world happened, Second Uncle?" Huang Qian suddenly said with an excited look.


    "..."


    Everyone was speechless. This was called not right?


    Clap!


    Huang Haoran directly gave Huang Qian a slap and said crossly, "You little punk, you''re trying to scare your second uncle? I asked you to check if something is wrong with your body, this is called something wrong?"


    Although Huang Qian''s current strength was already almost catching up to Huang Haoran, in front of Huang Haoran, he did not seem to have the awareness of a powerhouse.


    Huang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "It is something wrong! Why would my cultivation talent improve so much out of the blue?"


    Huang Haoran was dumbstruck for a while and discovered that what Huang Qian said seemed to be very logical.


    He had just woken up and suddenly discovered that his talent improved a lot, wasn''t this something wrong?


    Huang Haoran was incredibly shocked in his heart. He did not expect that the Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill was actually so heaven-defying.


    This kind of transformation was simply being reborn anew!


    One had to know, cultivation talent this thing was the hardest to change.


    A medicinal pill, not only could it purge an incurable poison, it could even improve cultivation talent.


    Spending these 50 million divine essence stones, it was definitely worthwhile!


    Except �� Master Wu Feng that side, it was hard for Huang Haoran to deal with him.


    Huang Haoran was full of bitterness in his heart but also knew that this kind of thing ultimately could not be avoided.


    The surrounding onlookers looked at Huang Qian with envious faces. This guy''s luck was simply off the charts, to actually be able to meet Master Ye, this kind of alchemy divine physician. This was the fortune cultivated for several lifetimes.


    As for Ding Song and the rest, their faces became ugly to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan treating Huang Qian was equivalent to officially announcing that their action of looking for trouble today failed!


    They finally witnessed Ye Yuan''s strength. This guy was simply a freak, sweeping across the entire south city with his strength alone.


    Today, Ye Yuan was equivalent to sweeping away the faces of all the alchemists in the south city.


    Didn''t you guys come to find trouble? What now?


    Now, they thoroughly blew up the reputation of the Miracle Hand Parlor!


    They could predict that before tomorrow morning, the news of Ye Yuan single-handedly challenging the five major factions would spread throughout the entire south city, even the entire outer city!


    Miracle Hand Parlor would definitely become the hottest medicine shop in the south city.


    "Little punk, why haven''t you gone to thank Master Ye yet? If not for Master Ye snatching you from the jaws of death, you''d have entered the gates of hell in a few days! You got poisoned by an ancient strange poison, even Four-star Alchemy Gods are powerless to do anything. It was Master Ye who cured you!" Huang Haoran scolded.


    Although he was scolding, the joy on Huang Haoran''s face could not be concealed no matter what.


    Buzz!


    Huang Haoran''s words ignited everyone!


    "Master Wu Feng indeed got a Four-starAalchemy God to come and look before!"


    "Turns out that this is where Master Wu Feng''s confidence lies! It''s just that he probably never thought that a poison even a Four-star Alchemy God could do nothing about was actually cured by Master Ye!"


    "More than that! Huang Qian this kid simply hit the jackpot! Putting aside curing the poison, he even saved many years of bitter cultivation. Now, even his cultivation talent has been enhanced!"


    "I feel that �� 50 million divine essence stones were simply too cheap! Master Ye charged a conscience price!"


    ...


    A commotion broke out inside the Miracle Hand Parlor all at once. Only then did they know that Huang Qian had indeed gotten a Four-star Alchemy God to take a look before.


    That was a Four-star Alchemy God!


    Same as martial arts realm, the disparity between Four-star Alchemy Gods and Three-star Alchemy Gods was also immense.


    However, Ye Yuan completed the task that even a Four-star Alchemy God could not complete.


    How could this not astonish them?


    Ning Siyu''s gaze never left Ye Yuan''s body from the very beginning.


    Others did not know how terrifying this Purple Quill Marrow Extermination poison was, but she knew.


    This poison was a difficult problem throughout the ages. No one had ever resolved it before!


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Just which step did this guy walk until on the path of alchemy?


    "Eh? Master Ye?"


    Huang Qian looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. This ridiculously young kid was the person who cured him?


    But he naturally did not have any doubts about Huang Haoran''s words, immediately bowing down to salute and said, "Huang Qian gives his thanks to Master Ye''s life-saving grace."


    Clap!


    Clap!


    Clap!


    At this time, clear applause sounded out. A powerful aura suddenly appeared in the Miracle Hand Parlor, crushing everyone until they could not catch their breath.


    "Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!" Somebody exclaimed.


    Such a powerful aura, it could only be a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse.


    Xiao Riyue divided the crowd and slowly walked into the lobby.


    An aura that showed disdain on all under the heavens was displayed in its entirety.


    "X-Xiao Riyue! You �� You broke through to Divine Lord Realm?"


    When Meng Huo saw that familiar figure, his complexion was white as a sheet, his eyes full of disbelief.


    It had always been said that Xiao Riyue was in a closed-seclusion to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, but few would believe that he could really break through to the Divine Lord Realm.


    But now, he really broke through!


    This was simply devastating news to the Thunderclap Gang!


    "Humph!"


    Xiao Riyue snorted coldly, directly sending Meng Huo flying.


    "Is this divine lord''s name what you can call directly?" Xiao Riyue said in a cold voice.


    This blow of Xiao Riyue''s was much stronger than Luo Yu''s, immediately dealing heavy injuries to Meng Huo.


    He turned to look at Ye Yuan and said with a light smile, "Master Ye is truly impressive! A poison that even a Four-star Alchemy God can''t resolve, you actually resolved it! Your esteemed self''s Alchemy Dao attainments are simply transcendent!"


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows and said in a solemn voice, "You injured my people in my medicine shop?"


    Xiao Riyue was stunned and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "A mere ant, if injured, then he''s injured, what''s the big deal?"


    From Xiao Riyue''s tone, Ye Yuan could infer his objective of coming.


    But this guy was truly a little too rampant.


    He would not think that he was invincible because he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, right?


    "You also just transformed from an ant, being cocky for what? Moreover �� you''re merely a slightly larger ant right now!" Ye Yuan said disgruntledly.

 1550 Youre Very Brave

    Xiao Riyue''s face darkened. The people surrounding and watching all sucked in a cold breath.


    This Master Ye was really too awesome, to actually dare talk this way to a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    "Punk, you''re very proud! But you indeed have the capital to be prideful! I''ll give you a chance, join our Sun Moon Gang. In the future, this land of the south city, you can roam as you please! Absolutely no one will dare to find trouble with you like today," Xiao Riyue said and forcefully pressed down the anger in his heart.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are you soliciting me here?"


    Xiao Riyue said coolly, "This divine lord successfully breaking through today, it''s a sign that the other two gangs are doomed. You have no future following Xing Guan!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "I think that you''re misunderstanding something. You''re still not qualified enough to solicit me!"


    The people surrounding and watching did not even dare to breathe loudly. But their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of ''admiration''


    This provocation was too ruthless!


    Xiao Riyue''s face fell and he said, "Are you refusing a toast, only to drink a forfeit?"


    But Ning Siyu suddenly spoke up at this time and said, "Master Ye''s alchemy standard is also more than enough to enter the Pill Tower! Just the likes of you, a measly little first-layered heaven Divine Lord, what qualifications do you have to solicit him?"


    Xiao Riyue was so angry!


    He went through untold hardships and finally broke through to Divine Lord Realm. Originally, he thought that anyone would have to make a detour around him when they saw him.


    He did not expect that two hotheads jumped out today and did not take him seriously at all.


    Was Divine Lord Realm so worthless?


    "Hahaha �� A measly little first-layered heaven Divine Lord! Little girl, what high-sounding sentiments! Entering the Pill Tower? He got to have the life to enter it too! Since you guys don''t know how to appreciate favors, then this divine lord will destroy your Miracle Hand Parlor today, see what you guys have to be unbridled!"


    Xiao Riyue laughed from extreme fury, hating these two fellows who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth to the extreme.


    A surge of world power rippled out, akin to a huge flood wave, directly sending all the people around him flying.


    "A guy who hasn''t seen the world before. Breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm and you''re flaunting your prowess. Your this bit of strength got to tuck your tail between your legs and behave when placed in the inner city! If you dare to touch a single strand of hair of this young lady, do you believe that someone will come and annihilate you straight away?"


    Facing Xiao Riyue''s powerful pressure, Ning Siyu''s complexion was somewhat pale.


    But her words were still full of contempt.


    Clearly, she did not take Xiao Riyue, this Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, seriously at all.


    Xiao Riyue''s heart thumped, thinking to himself, could it be that this lass comes from the inner city and her status is extraordinary?


    But he denied this very quickly.


    The inner city''s darling daughters, each and every one of them was incomparably arrogant. How could they possibly come to such a small medicine shop to be a little medicine attendant?


    This lass must be making an empty show of strength!


    "Heh, using the inner city to scare this divine lord, do you take me to be scared from young? This divine lord will exterminate you, lass, today. I want to see whether or not someone will really come and annihilate me!"


    Xiao Riyue snorted coldly, a palm struck toward Ning Siyu with overwhelming momentum.


    Boom!


    Under everyone''s dumbfounded gazes, Xiao Riyue''s figure flew out backward, directly blasted onto the streets.


    Xiao Riyue''s internal organs were in shock, his entire person struck silly.


    He stood up rather shakingly, and he looked at a young person in front of him with immense shock.


    How could there be a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse here?


    "Who did you say �� you were going to exterminate just now?" Ning Fangrong''s eyes were like torches, looking down on Xiao Riyue, his eyes full of killing intent.


    Ning Siyu was first stunned, then immediately revealed a look of wild elation. Rushing forward to pull Ning Fangrong''s arm, she said, "Big Brother, why did you come?"


    Ning Fangrong gave her a doting glance and said, "If I don''t come, weren''t you going to get bullied by people?"


    "Hehe, it''s still Big Brother who''s the best!" Ning Siyu said in a spoiled manner.


    Ning Fangrong rubbed Ning Siyu''s head dotingly but turned his head around, his expression was cold as he said to Xiao Riyue, "I''m asking you, who were you going to exterminate, huh?"


    Xiao Riyue''s expression was incomparably ugly. He did not expect that a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse suddenly popped out in the crowd.


    One should not look at how the other party was young. His strength was much greater than his. This person was totally not what he, a rookie who just broke through, could compete with.


    He had just uttered the big talk, who knew that someone really jumped out to annihilate him straight away.


    Who could understand this kind of bitterness?


    Where was the so-called invincible in the south city?


    The so-called sweeping across the south city and unifying the three gangs?


    Such a young Divine Lord powerhouse, his status was clearly extraordinary. He definitely came out of the inner city. Moreover, it was definitely a major faction in the inner city.


    That little girl''s status was really extraordinary!


    But such a little girl, why would she be ordered around like a maidservant in such a small medicine shop?


    Are �� you mentally ill?!


    Xiao Riyue''s face squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, "This one had eyes but couldn''t see. I wonder which inner city family''s young master is this little brother from?"


    Ning Fangrong said calmly, "You''re still not fit to address me as your brother! The imperial city has a rule that Divine Lord Realm martial artists are not to interfere with the outer city''s matters. Are you �� slighting the City Lord Manor right now?"


    Xiao Riyue was crying bitterly in his heart!


    He had just broken through to the Divine Lord Realm and had not reported to the inner city yet.


    Originally, he wanted to slice through a knot with a sharp knife, directly unifying the three gangs before talking.


    This kind of thing, the inner city would also open one eye and close one eye, tacitly allowing it.


    After all, these people in the outer city were no different from ants in the eyes of the inner city.


    To Xiao Riyue, when he entered the inner city, he also needed the support of cultivation resources.


    Clearly, after consolidating the three gangs, the new Sun Moon Gang could provide him cultivation resources unceasingly.


    Except, the ideal was very well-endowed, but the reality was bony[1].


    Who knew that he was so unlucky, running into someone who came out of the inner city when he just broke through.


    "This �� This �� I �� I ��" Xiao Riyue stammered and could not even complete his sentences.


    When He Xiao and Luo Yu saw this scene, their faces revealed incomparably gloomy looks.


    Originally thought that they had a major backer now. In the end, the major backer had just risen and was smacked to death by someone with a slap.


    This inconspicuous little medicine shop, its background was really deep to the extreme!


    This lass actually called this Divine Lord Realm powerhouse as big brother, then her status was definitely extraordinary.


    However, it was such a lass who willingly became a maidservant who was ordered about inside this little medicine shop.


    Then Master Ye''s background ��


    Could it be that Master Ye was a Pill Tower''s newly-emerged genius alchemist? Coming to the outer city to hang a ''Will Grant All Requests'' signboard was in order to train?


    The more everyone thought, the more reliable it felt.


    It seemed like only this explanation was the most logical.


    In everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan''s image became incomparably tall.


    Although Ning Fangrong was the same as Xiao Riyue, both being first-layered heaven Divine Lord martial artists, the noble air emitting off his body was what Xiao Riyue did not possess.


    It was only to see him say coolly, "You go to the inner city''s entrance and wait for me. Later, I''ll bring you together into the Martial Tower and receive punishment!"


    Xiao Riyue''s expression changed, and he said in a panic, "This �� Your Excellency, I ��"


    Ning Fangrong''s brows furrowed and he said unhappily, "What? You have a problem? To dare clamor about killing my Ning Family''s people, I have to admit that you''re very brave!"


    Xiao Riyue''s entire body trembled, his legs turning soft, and he knelt down with a thud, crying out involuntarily, "You �� you''re a member of the Ning Family!"


    [1] Yes, it''s a euphemism for boobs. The ideal is big boobs, but the reality is flat.

 1551 Not What You Can Imagine

    The Ning Family was a leviathan in the inner city.


    One should not look at how he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm currently. If the Ning Family wanted to kill him, it was merely as simple as crushing an ant!


    Divine Lord Realm?


    What the Ning Family lacked the least was Divine Lord Realm!


    Didn''t they all see that this young man in front was already a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse?


    "Ning Family! Could it be one of the inner city''s two great powerful families, the Ning Family?"


    "What Ning Family could there be still? Xiao Riyue is really unlucky. He just broke through to Divine Lord Realm and actually provoked the Ning Family!"


    "Tsk tsk, this situation turnaround is really too fast! Originally thought that the Sun Moon Gang will be on the rise, now �� heh heh."


    ...


    The majority of the people were watching the show. Xiao Riyue was wildly tyrannical and highly oppressive. They could not bear the sight of it as well.


    Now, seeing Xiao Riyue got deflated, each and every one of them also started gloating over his misfortune.


    Seeing Xiao Riyue''s dead-dog appearance, a hint of disdain flashed past in Ning Fangrong''s eyes.


    If Xiao Riyue had a little backbone, he might regard him higher.


    However, he did not even have the thought of resisting.


    This kind of person was destined to not accomplish great things.


    However, this had nothing to do with him.


    Xiao Riyue actually dared to have killing intent towards his little sister, then he would have to suffer the Ning Family''s wrath.


    If it were an ordinary person, then forget it. Yet, Xiao Riyue was even a Divine Lord powerhouse!


    "Y-Your Excellency �� the ignorant isn''t to be blamed. I really didn''t know your identities! If I knew, give me ten galls and I also wouldn''t dare �� deal a heavy blow toward this young lady!"


    Xiao Riyue already completely broke down. That overweeningly arrogant appearance earlier was all gone now.


    Just like �� a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.


    Ning Fangrong said coolly, "These words, you go and explain to the Martial Tower''s elders. Give you three breaths of time, immediately disappear from my sight. One �� two ��"


    Just as Ning Fangrong shouted until two, Xiao Riyue already suddenly disappeared from where he originally was.


    When Xiao Riyue showed up, everyone thought that the south city''s heaven changed.


    Who knew that in a blink, it became like this.


    The moment Xiao Riyue left, Ning Fangrong turned to look at Ye Yuan and said with a frown, "You''re called Ye Yuan, right? You actually dared to order my sister around like a maid. Do you know her identity?"


    Everyone was stunned. What kind of situation was this?


    Could it be that �� Master Ye did not come out of the Martial Tower?


    Ning Fangrong''s appearance seemed to be going to denounce him publicly for his crimes!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "No matter who she is, if she wants to learn alchemy from me, they have to start from a medicine attendant."


    Ning Fangrong laughed in spite of himself and said, "Little Sister learning alchemy from you? You''re a Three-star Alchemy God, she''s a Three-star Alchemy God too. Furthermore, her master is a Four-star Alchemy God. What �� right do you have to teach her?"


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, shot Ning Fangrong a glance, and said coolly, "Is Four-star Alchemy God very impressive?"


    Ning Fangrong''s eyes narrowed slightly and his tone turned cold as he said, "Young man, don''t be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Curing a poison doesn''t mean that you can put on airs and look down on others!"


    The method that Ye Yuan cured the poison had indeed amazed Ning Fangrong. But this was just a single facet.


    The might of a Four-star Alchemy God was far from what Three-star Alchemy Gods could imagine.


    When Ning Siyu saw the smell of gunpowder gradually thicken, she hurriedly blocked in front of Ning Fangrong and said, "Big Brother, you''re not allowed to find trouble with Master Ye! It was me who pestered him endlessly and insisted on him taking me in as a little medicine boy!"


    Ning Fangrong looked at his little sister with surprise. Looking at this appearance, if he really made a move, she would even help outsiders to fight it out with him?


    Recalling Ning Siyu''s meek look from before, Ning Fangrong was incredibly shocked in his heart.


    This little sister of his feared nothing and no one. Even Master Xuan Yu could not do anything about her too.


    Now, she was actually so docile and obedient towards this young man.


    What kind of magical power did this young man have?


    Or was it that his little sister took fancy on him?


    With his little sister around, it looked like he could not touch this brat today.


    "Alright, looking on the account of your face, I won''t make things difficult for him today. Follow me back," Ning Fangrong said.


    Ning Siyu shook her head like a rattling drum and said, "You go back, I want to learn pill refinement at Master Ye here!"


    Ning Fangrong''s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "Nonsense! Your master is Master Xuan Yu. Learning alchemy from an unknown boy, where is my Ning Family''s face going to be put?"


    But Ning Siyu said, "I don''t care. Either way, I''m not going back."


    "You!" Ning Fangrong choked and said angrily, "Going back or not isn''t up to you!"


    But Ning Siyu glared fiercely and said, "You dare?! If you were to forcefully bring me away, I''ll tell father and mother all of your dirty laundry!"


    Ning Fangrong was driven utterly crazy. The moment this lass'' unruliness flared up, it really gave people a headache.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Leave!"


    The moment these words came out, Ning Siyu and Ning Fangrong were both stunned.


    Ning Siyu was just about to say something when Ye Yuan continued, "I took you in because I was afraid that you had nowhere to go. Since your family member had come to find you, you go back with him then."


    "I don''t want to go back!" Ning Siyu simply refused.


    "Mn?" Ye Yuan frowned, seemingly the tempo of going to fly off the handle.


    Ning Siyu got a shock and pursed her mouth and said unhappily, "Go back then go back, be fierce for what! But you have to promise me, the next time I come, you''re not allowed to turn me down!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "You can come, but you must obtain the permission of your teacher! Even though you and I aren''t master and disciple in name, there is the reality of master and disciple. Me teaching you alchemy goes against the moral principle."


    Hearing this, Ning Siyu''s initial displeasure turned to joy and said, "This is what you said!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, considered to have tacitly agreed to it.


    Ning Fangrong stared at this scene tongue-tied and his eyes wide, his head not quite wrapping itself around it.


    Siyu this lass was actually so submissive toward this boy!


    He said a sentence and was rebutted up to the sky. But Ye Yuan said a sentence and she did not even dare to talk back!


    Could it really be �� one object subduing another?


    How could he know that Ning Siyu was afraid that Ye Yuan would get really angry and never teach her alchemy henceforth?


    Ning Siyu just recently knew what was called heavens beyond heavens, and there was always someone better after following by Ye Yuan''s side these few days.


    Her pride was beaten by Ye Yuan until there was not a patch of skin left whole.


    Ye Yuan already used his alchemy strength to thoroughly convince Ning Siyu.


    At the same time, she discovered the boundless charm of alchemy on Ye Yuan.


    Hence, she was very afraid that Ye Yuan would not teach her alchemy.


    "Big Brother, Little Huan, let''s go! Master Ye, you mustn''t act shamelessly! I''ll come over and find you in a few days!" Ning Siyu said with a smile.


    Ning Fangrong gave Ye Yuan a very profound glance, turned around, and left.


    Exiting Cinnamon Street, Ning Siyu suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Ning Fangrong and said, "Big Brother, don''t think that I don''t know what you''re thinking! If you dare to have designs on Master Ye, I''ll ignore you for the rest of my life!"


    Ning Fangrong and stunned and laughed in spite of himself and said, "You lass! What the hell kind of bewitching potion did that boy feed you, you''re actually so protective of him!"


    Ning Siyu smiled and said, "You won''t understand! Master Ye''s realm is completely not what you can imagine! Even Master, his elderly self, might not be able to compare to Master Ye too[1]!"


    [1] Master Ye is calling like Expert Ye, not Master and Disciple.

 1552 Ning Siyu Refining Pills

    Outside of the Pill Tower, a young man came up to greet.


    Seeing the arrival of that person, Ning Siyu went up to greet him with a smile, "Hehe, Second Senior Brother, were you punished by Master again?"


    This person was Ning Siyu''s second senior brother, Ding Xun, an initial-stage Four-star Alchemy God existence!


    Ding Xun was stunned and said, "How do you know?"


    Ning Siyu beamed widely and said, "Divine essence unsteady. One look and it''s excessive use of divine fire. Master punished you to practice fire control a hundred times again, right?"


    Ding Xun pouted and said, "Little Junior Sister, you still have time to worry about me? Better worry about yourself! You went overboard this time!"


    Ning Siyu smiled mischievously and said, "Second Senior Brother, why don''t we make a bet?"


    Ding Xun said suspiciously, "You lass, what lousy idea did you think of again?"


    Ning Siyu smiled and said, "I say that not only will Master not punish me, but he''ll also even praise me greatly!"


    Ding Xun laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "You lass, did you get delirious after going out for a few days? You actually ran away from home this time. Master will at least punish you with a closed-seclusion for three years. You actually said that Master he''ll praise you?"


    Ning Siyu said with a mischievous look, "Just say whether you dare to bet or not!"


    Ding Xun could not help laughing as he said, "What item of Senior Brother''s did you take fancy on again? But this time, you can''t possibly win."


    Ning Siyu grinned and said, "If Second Senior Brother you lose, then give me your Blue Voyage Insight Divine Fire!"


    Ding Xun''s eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "Mischievous girl, your Cerulean Divine Flame is much stronger than the Blue Voyage Insight Divine Fire. What are you having designs on it for?"


    Ning Siyu said, "Don''t need you to worry about that. You just say whether you dare to bet or not! If I lose, the Heavenly Sieve Secret Art that Master bestowed on me the last time will be given to you!"


    Ding Xun''s eyes lit up and he said, "For real?"


    "Even more real than real gold!" Ning Siyu said with a smile.


    Ding Xun nodded and said, "Okay! Second Senior Brother will bet with you! I don''t believe that you can really escape Master''s punishment this time!"


    Ning Fangrong did not make a sound the entire time, looking at his little sister rather surprisedly.


    He was the same as Ding Xun, uncertain where this lass'' confidence came from.


    Inside Ning Fangrong''s mind, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly flashed across.


    Could it be �� related to that brat?


    Ning Fangrong denied this notion very quickly. How could this be possible!


    ...


    Inside the lobby, Master Xuan Yu currently had his eyes shut to rest.


    Hearing the commotion, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Girl, you still know to come back, huh?!"


    Master Xuan Yu''s voice was very awe-inspiring, sounding very angry, but there was a trace of excessive doting that inadvertently flowed out too.


    As the saying went: love hard, whip hard.


    Master Xuan Yu was very satisfied with Ning Siyu, this final disciple, but also had a big headache.


    This girl''s talent was astonishing, but she just did not work hard.


    Alchemy this path, such superficialness was very hard to have accomplishments.


    Therefore, this time, he planned on punishing this lass properly, let her get her mind together.


    Ning Siyu giggled and dashed to Master Xuan Yu''s side with a lunge, pulled his arm up, and said coquettishly, "Master, I didn''t go out this time to be naughty. It''s going out to learn new skills!"


    Master Xuan Yu was just a sucker for this. But this time, he decided to not fall for it. He must punish this girl!


    Only to see him billow his beard and said with a cold snort, "Learn new skills? I think that you became capable! Don''t need to say anything, immediately go to the heaven character number 3 room for closed-seclusion right now. You''re not allowed to take a step out within three years!"


    Hearing this, the corners of Ding Xun''s mouth raised.


    This girl clearly underestimated Master''s fury this time.


    That Heavenly Sieve Secret Art''s rubbing, he had coveted it for a long time already.


    This time, he finally got it!


    But Ning Siyu was not afraid at all. Swaying Master Xuan Yu''s arm, she said, "Master, I really went out to learn new skills this time! If you don''t believe me, I''ll refine a medicinal pill for you to see right now!"


    Xuan Yu glanced at her and said with a cold smile, "Heh, lass, even if you pull any tricks, you can''t escape the punishment of confinement too."


    The smile on Ding Xun''s face became even thicker. Ning Fangrong also beamed widely.


    Master Xuan Yu was finally angered by this girl!


    "Goodness, Master, I really went out to learn new skills this time! There''s a very powerful fellow inside that Miracle Hand Parlor in the outer city. I went this time to �� interact with him! Master, if you don''t believe, Siyu will refine a medicinal pill for you to see. If you still want to punish me after seeing it, Siyu will accept the punishment obediently!" Ning Siyu said.


    Xuan Yu did not believe Ning Siyu''s words at all. That little medicine shop, he already investigated it before. It was an unremarkable little medicine shop, almost closing down. What expert could there be still?


    This girl was clearly playing tricks!


    But he still said, "Alright, you try refining a medicinal pill. I want to see what you learned these few days!"


    You have got to be kidding!


    Merely a few day''s time, how much improvement could her alchemy skills have?


    Even though Ning Siyu this girl''s talent was exceedingly high, a short few day''s time, it was also not possible to make much progress.


    Before long, Ning Siyu brought a pile of spirit medicines to the pill refining room.


    Xuan Yu''s gaze swept and could not help saying rather surprisedly, "You''re going to refine the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill? But you never succeeded once before!"


    Ning Siyu smiled smugly and said, "It''s because I never succeeded once before that it can demonstrate my improvement!"


    Xuan Yu pursed his mouth and declined to comment.


    He did not believe that after a few days'' time, Ning Siyu would be able to refine the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.


    But after Ning Siyu started refining the pill, Xuan Yu discovered something off.


    He discovered that a kind of change happened to Ning Siyu!


    This kind of change was �� focus!


    Ning Siyu''s disposition was being too hyper. When refining pills, it was very hard to calm down.


    But this time, Ning Siyu was unprecedentedly focused.


    Every movement, Ning Siyu completed it very on-point, working with the greatest care.


    However, with the passage of time, the shock on Xuan Yu three people''s faces became thicker and thicker.


    In the past, when Ning Siyu refined pills, it was very easy to lose control in the second-half and have various situations occur.


    But this time, she gradually entered an optimal state, her condition getting better and better!


    Finally, Ning Siyu lightly cried, "condense." The medicinal pill formed!


    When the last step was completed, Ning Siyu actually had a feeling of being beside herself with joy.


    This kind of feeling had never happened before in her alchemy career.


    She really did it!


    Being imperceptibly influenced in the Miracle Hand Parlor these few days, she obtained tremendous improvement!


    Especially when Ye Yuan cast the Chaos Heavenly Star Art at that time, it brought her into a mysterious realm, letting her obtain tremendous harvests.


    Seeing Master and Second Senior Brother''s incomparably shocked looks, Ning Siyu had a smug look.


    "Master, Second Senior Brother, open the furnace and take a look then! I''m very much looking forward to it too!" Ning Siyu smiled and said.


    Xuan Yu''s palm shook, a medicinal pill flew out of the medicine cauldron.


    The four people looked at that medicinal pill in the jade box, faces all revealing extremely shocked looks.


    Even Ning Siyu herself also felt that it was unbelievable.


    She had long expected that she made progress and should be able to refine the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.


    But she completely did not think that she could actually perform so well!

 1553 Dao Realm

    High-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill!


    Regarding this result, Ning Siyu was simply satisfied to the extreme.


    Although in front of Ye Yuan, a high-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill could be refined until not even dregs remained. She was still very satisfied with her result.


    But in Xuan Yu''s and Ding Xun''s eyes, it was completely different.


    They all knew that before running away, Ning Siyu still repeatedly failed to refine the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.


    Her running away was not unrelated to this.


    But how many days had it been?


    She actually directly refined out a high-grade!


    Could it be that this lass really went out to learn new skills?


    Seeing her master''s shocked expression, Ning Siyu was rather pleased with herself.


    "Master, you look, you look, isn''t my improvement very big? I didn''t bluff you, right?" Ning Siyu smiled brilliantly and said.


    After the astonishment, Xuan Yu said in surprise, "Girl, tell Master, what on earth did you do? Why is your improvement actually so great in a short few days'' time?"


    Ning Siyu said smugly, "Because of Master Ye! You don''t know, Master Ye is really too cool when refining pills! I''ve never witnessed before, a person refining pills could actually refine until others become intoxicated ��"


    Upon mentioning Ye Yuan, Ning Siyu started spewing forth unceasingly, not stinting with words of praises in the slightest.


    "Hang on, this Master Ye that you mentioned, who is he?" Xuan Yu interrupted Ning Siyu''s ecstasy and asked.


    Ning Fangrong clasped his hands and said, "Master, it''s like this ��"


    Ning Fangrong briefly recounted the matter of the south city''s Miracle Hand Parlor, Ye Yuan challenging five great forces alone, surprising Xuan Yu repeatedly.


    Especially when mentioning that Ye Yuan refined the Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill and helped Huang Qian be reborn anew, Xuan Yu was inexplicably shocked in his heart.


    The Purple Quill Marrow Extermination, he naturally knew it. This poison was incurable, but it was actually treated by a junior!


    "I didn''t expect that the south city actually produced such a figure!" Xuan Yu sighed emotionally.


    Ning Siyu looked at Xuan Yu''s expression and said with a smile, "Master, did you have the thought of accepting a disciple stirred?"


    Xuan Yu did not hide it either, saying with a smile, "It''s you, lass, who''s astute! That''s right, such a genius, if he were taken away by others, that would be too much of a pity."


    Although it sounded very impressive, Xuan Yu did not see it with his own eyes after all.


    With his status as high-rank Four-star Alchemy God, taking in a Three-star Alchemy God, wasn''t it more than enough still?


    Ning Siyu giggled and said, "Master, rest assured. Nobody can take him in!"


    "Mn? How so?" Xuan Yu said in puzzlement.


    "Master, you look!"


    Ning Siyu took out those two Gale Celestial Stone Pills. Xuan Yu''s gaze turned sharp and he exclaimed, "Divine-grade Gale Celestial Stone Pill! This �� This was refined by him?"


    Ning Siyu nodded her head, pointed at the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, and said, "This is his first time refining. This one was his second time refining."


    Xuan Yu took those two medicinal pills from Ning Siyu''s hand, his expression becoming incomparably solemn.


    Nothing could reflect the alchemist''s level more than medicinal pills. He discerned these two medicinal pills'' extraordinariness with a glance.


    Carefully looking it over, Xuan Yu suddenly said, "First time refining �� could it be that �� this young man already reached the legendary Dao Realm? No, this is impossible! I''ve never heard before that a Three-star Alchemy God can reach the Dao Realm!"


    Ning Siyu and Ding Xun both had puzzled looks and said, "Master, what''s the Dao Realm?"


    Xuan Yu said solemnly, "The level of alchemists has always been divided based on the rank of the divine pills they could refine. But apart from this, there''s still a mysterious and profound realm, that''s the Dao Realm! The path of making sense is extensive and profound, nobody dares to say that they can refine all medicinal pills. Even Four-star Alchemy Gods also have rank three divine pills that they can''t refine, let alone talk about rank four divine pills. But once one reaches the Dao Realm, then their understanding of Alchemy Dao will be exceedingly profound and can unleash the properties within spirit medicines to the greatest extent. This kind of person, no matter what medicinal pills he refined, it would be accomplished with high proficiency!"


    Recalling Ye Yuan''s pill refinement, Ning Siyu could not help but be in strong agreement and said, "According to what Master said, he''s really like this! It seems like ordinary medicinal pills, as long as he takes action, it will be divine-grade! Only when refining the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, was there a tiny bit of flaw, refining a heaven-grade."


    The corners of Xuan Yu''s mouth twitched slightly. He still wanted to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple earlier. But now, he completely dispelled this notion.


    Taking in an alchemist who was probably in the Dao Realm as a disciple?


    One shouldn''t look at how he was a Four-star Alchemy God. He really did not have the qualifications!


    Putting aside that he was just a Five-star Alchemy God, even Five-star Alchemy Gods similarly did not have the qualifications!


    Because such an existence, as long as there was no accident, once they stepped into Divine Lord Realm, as long as they became familiar with the properties of Four-star spirit medicines, then he was the strongest Four-star Alchemy God!


    This kind of people''s understanding of alchemy was completely not what he could imagine.


    This guy was totally a great god!


    "So �� So incredible? A Three-star Alchemy God can actually be formidable to such a degree?"


    Ding Xun completely could not comprehend this kind of existence. In his view, one star was one world. Four-star Alchemy Gods were stronger than Three-star Alchemy Gods.


    He had never heard before that a Three-star Alchemy God could actually be powerful to the point where even his master was afraid of.


    Xuan Yu also took a hit and said with a sigh, "According to what I know, only alchemists that reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm and infinitely approaches the Great Dao can have a possibility of comprehending Alchemy Dao �� reaching the Dao Realm! Three-star Dao Realm �� it''s unheard of! If his future road is walked solidly, perhaps �� he can reach the realm of the Medicine Ancestor!"


    "Hiss ��"


    The three people present all sucked in a cold breath. Xuan Yu''s speculation was a little too frightening.


    Medicine Ancestor was an existence that they simply could not imagine, virtually rivaling Dao Ancestors!


    This young man who popped out of God knows where could actually reach that kind of realm. Just thinking about it felt inconceivable.


    "No can do! This boy, I must meet him! Lass, later, you go and find this Ye Yuan, just say that �� Master wants to interact with him," Xuan Yu said suddenly.


    Ning Siyu had never seen before her master like this. Even when facing the lord of the Pill Tower, he was calm and collected too.


    "Yes, Master!" Ning Siyu answered.


    "Also, the Pill Tower''s competition will be starting soon. This period of time, you go over to his side more. You must build a good relationship with him. This has tremendous benefits to you!" Xuan Yu said.


    Ning Siyu hugged Xuan Yu and said gleefully, "Hehe, Master is so good, you''re the most open-minded!"


    ...


    "Second Senior Brother, hand over your divine fire!" Ning Siyu looked at Ding Xun and said with a smug look.


    Ding Xun smiled bitterly. He indeed still lost.


    But he did not renege either, forcing the Blue Voyage Insight Divine Fire out of his body and giving it to Ning Siyu.


    This divine fire was already not very useful to him.


    He suddenly thought of something and said with uncertainty, "You wanted this Blue Voyage Insight Divine Fire �� Is it to �� give it to that Master Ye?"


    Ning Siyu smiled and said, "Hehe, Second Senior Brother is indeed clever! That guy is already a Three-star Alchemy God and actually still uses rank two divine fire! How unsightly!"


    Ding Xun''s eyeballs nearly popped out. That guy called Ye Yuan was truly too freakish, right?


    He used a rank two divine fire to refine a divine-grade Gale Celestial Stone Pill?

 1554 You Miscalculated

    Wu Feng sat in the hall, his smile seemingly radiant.


    Huang Haoran and Hao Qian sat on the right-hand side, appearing very flustered.


    Although Huang Qian was saved, this 50 million went down the drain for Wu Feng.


    Most importantly, it was a major loss of face!


    Huang Haoran understood Wu Feng very well. He cared about face too much.


    Normally, it was still fine. But if someone threatened his title as the south city''s number one alchemist, he definitely would not show leniency.


    But this time, Ye Yuan''s power face-smacking thoroughly made a name for himself.


    But Huang Haoran did not expect that Wu Feng''s mood today seemed to be pretty good still.


    "Oh, Haoran, do you think that I''d blame you because of this matter?" Wu Feng said with a ghost of a smile.


    Huang Haoran blushed with shame and said, "Master, I ��"


    "Huhu, you followed me for so many years, could I still not know your feelings for Huang Qian? Otherwise, do you think that I''d invite Master to take action and come and diagnose him?" Wu Feng said with a smile.


    Huang Haoran hurriedly said, "Haoran received Master''s kindness and will never be able to repay it! Haoran''s life is master''s!"


    Wu Feng nodded and said, "For Huang Qian to be able to recover, I''m happy for him as well. You don''t need to think too much. This matter isn''t your fault."


    Huang Haoran said, "Master, this 50 million divine essence stones, I''ll definitely think of a way to return to you!"


    Wu Feng laughed loudly and said, "You, why are you so stubborn!"


    Huang Haoran bowed and said, "Master, if I don''t return you these divine essence stones, Haoran will have trouble sleeping and eating!"


    Wu Feng smiled as he walked over, patted Huang Haoran''s shoulder, and said, "Really can''t do anything about you! Forget it, if you want to return a favor, it''s also not impossible."


    Hearing this, Huang Haoran''s mind eased up. but heard Wu Feng''s tone gradually turn cold as he said, "Then �� use your life to pay it back!"


    Huang Haoran''s entire body trembled, suddenly raising his head and looking at Wu Feng.


    Suddenly, he felt his chest tighten, all the blood in his body becoming stagnant. His divine essence gradually solidified and his consciousness also began to blur.


    "Master, you ��" Huang Haoran looked at Wu Feng in disbelief. He knew that he was poisoned.


    There was poison inside the tea just now!


    Wu Feng''s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "Humph! Nice job, this old man became the entire south city''s laughing stock now! Either way, this life of yours was saved by this old man too. Returning to this old man now, you have no objections, right?"


    Huang Qian''s heart suddenly twinged and he shouted, "Second Uncle, you �� you can''t die! Wu Feng! You motherf*cker! My second uncle is so loyal to you, you �� you actually want to poison him to death!"


    Huang Qian swayed, already somewhat unsteady on his feet.


    He drank the tea just now too and was clearly poisoned as well.


    The toxicity was very strong. Huang Haoran''s eyes had already started to turn dim.


    He used all of his strength to push Huang Qian out and said, "G-Go! Find �� M-Master Ye!"


    Wu Feng sneered and said, "You look, your heart is already at Master Ye there, still loyal to me? But too bad, Huang Qian drank that cup of tea too. He''s the same as you, both unable to escape death!"


    Huang Qian''s eyes turned bloodshot from anger, hot tears pouring out of his eyes, and his teeth gritting until it rattled.


    The divine essence within his body suddenly revolved, his entire person rushing at Wu Feng like an arrow that left the bow.


    Wu Feng was caught off-guard, not expecting that Huang Qian could actually still revolve divine essence.


    However, Wu Feng''s strength was too powerful in the end. It was far from what Huang Qian could compare to.


    Boom!


    In a haste, the two people exchanged a palm. Huang Qian immediately wildly sprayed fresh blood in the air, flying out backward.


    While Wu Feng was also shaking until his vital energy and blood was tumbling, and was actually powerless to chase after for a moment.


    Huang Qian''s eyes were full of tears as he wailed, "Second Uncle, I �� I seem to be fine and can last until Master Ye there! You rest assured, I''ll definitely avenge you!"


    Huang Qian discovered that even though he was dizzy, his entire person was only somewhat unwell. His symptoms did not seem as severe as Huang Haoran''s.


    Hearing this, a hint of relief showed in Huang Haoran''s eyes, his face revealing a trace of a faint smile.


    He got it, it must be Master Ye''s Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill, making Huang Qian be reborn anew. His resistance to poison also increased greatly, that was why!


    "Master, you �� miscalculated!"


    Finished saying this sentence, Huang Haoran''s closed his eyes forever.


    "Second Uncle!"


    Huang Qian''s eyes welled up with tears, shouting until his throat turned hoarse.


    ...


    "Master Ye, you see what I brought you!"


    Ning Siyu held her palm out. A faint blue flame appeared in her palm.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Siyu, rather surprisedly. He said, "You specially got this for me?"


    Ning Siyu smiled slyly and said, "Accurately saying, it''s we won it together!"


    She briefly recounted the matter of winning against Second Senior Brother, making Ye Yuan smile.


    "You had a good intention. This divine fire, I''ll accept it, cancel out the divine essence stones you owe me."


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. The faint blue flame came to his hand obediently.


    Ning Siyu''s pupils constricted. This guy''s fire controlling art had simply reached the acme of perfection.


    A foreign divine fire was actually so docile when reaching his hands!


    But she felt something off very soon and said, "Hey, a divine fire is just worth four million divine essence stones? You �� You''re robbing me!"


    Ye Yuan glanced at her and smiled, but his palm moved. The Blue Voyage Insight Divine Fire was directly stripped by Ye Yuan, leaving behind just a tiny little tongue of flame.


    One should not underestimate this tongue of flame. This was where the essence of the divine fire lay.


    Then, Ye Yuan''s palm flipped. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame suddenly rose.


    His palm merged together again. The Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame directly swallowed that little cluster of fire up.


    Ning Siyu opened her eyes wide and said indignantly, "Y-Y-You �� actually used your rank two divine fire to devour a rank three divine fire? You''re wasting God''s good gift!"


    She finally managed to get Ye Yuan this rank three divine fire, who knew that Ye Yuan actually directly destroyed it!


    Ning Siyu was so angry!


    Even if you wanted to raise a fire, it should also be using rank two to raise rank three, right?


    This guy actually did exactly the opposite!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can that divine fire of yours compare with my Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame? In terms of pill refinement, I really can''t find any more suitable than it. Furthermore, it followed me for close to a hundred years and accompanied me through life and death countless times. I can''t bear to swap it out too. Devouring the fire essence, it should be able to evolve to rank three."


    Ning Siyu was a little surprised. Why were these words �� said in such an elderly person''s tone?


    This guy was merely a hundred-odd year old. So why did he behave like he was several tens of thousands of years old, being an old man?


    "Fine then, whatever makes you happy!" Ning Siyu shrugged her shoulders and said.


    Just a rank three divine fire, it was nothing to Ning Siyu.


    Right at this time, three figures entered the Miracle Hand Parlor.


    An old man with a sage-like appearance, a fatty who was like a round ball, and there was also a very beautiful girl.


    "Shopkeeper, I heard that this place will grant all requests, is this true?" the old man with a sage-like appearance asked the shopkeeper.


    The shopkeeper said with a proud look, "That''s of course! You go and inquire about it, this land of south city, who doesn''t know our Miracle Hand Parlor''s Master Ye''s name!"


    The moment these words came out, the three people''s faces changed.


    "What did you say?! Your presiding alchemist here is also called Ye Yuan?" the old man exclaimed.

 1555 Give Me a Proper Lesson

    "Hahaha, you guys finally came!"


    When Ye Yuan saw Little Fatty, he immediately gave him a bear hug.


    Not seeing him for a long time, Ye Yuan was extremely excited.


    Ning Siyu clicked her tongue in wonder looking by the side. In her eyes, Ye Yuan had always had the demeanor of a master. She did not expect that he actually still had such a side.


    Xie Jingyi was agitated until his face was somewhat flushed and he said, "Good brother, I missed you to death!"


    "B-Big Brother Ye!" Liang Wanru was a little shy but very happy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Young Sister Wanru, your improvement isn''t small! Haha!"


    Liang Wanru smiled and said, "Isn''t it still all thanks to the medicinal pills Big Brother Ye left for me? Otherwise, with Wanru''s talent, how can I break through so fast?"


    At this time, Liang Wanru already broke through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. It could be said astonishingly fast already.


    Ye Yuan had long explained to Liang Wanru that they should address each other as siblings.


    Even though the sincere feelings in Liang Wanru''s heart had yet to fade, she could only accept this fact.


    By the side, Xiao Feng marveled endlessly and said with a bitter smile, "This old man really didn''t expect that it was you, this punk, who opened this Miracle Hand Parlor! Thinking back now, apart from you, who else dares to claim to grant all requests?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "It was an action that couldn''t be helped too. The conditions for entering the inner city are too harsh. As a last resort, I can only make the commotion a little bigger and draw you guys over."


    Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Your commotion isn''t small. Right now, in the inner city, many major forces all know that the outer city has a ''Will Grant All Requests'' already!"


    Ning Siyu''s eyes swiveled around. Only then she understood that it turned out Ye Yuan hanging this signboard was actually in order to draw these three people over!


    The first time she saw Ye Yuan, she felt that this guy was unbelievably arrogant.


    But getting to know him, she discovered that Ye Yuan was not that kind of arrogant people, and she could not help being somewhat curious why Ye Yuan would hang such a show-off signboard.


    She did not expect that it was actually to draw his friends out of the inner city!


    Ning Siyu could not help being somewhat speechless. Only Ye Yuan, this kind of big-shot, could use this kind of whimsical method to attain his objective, right?


    If it were somebody else, clearly inside a city, but the inner city and outer city could stop them for all their lives!


    When Ye Yuan challenged five major factions alone, it was really cool to the max.


    The Ye Yuan at that time gave her a feeling, that was invincibility!


    Alchemy Dao was invincible!


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is also something that can''t be helped. You guys know, I''m actually very low-profile."


    Hearing this, the three people could not help rolling their eyes.


    Xiao Feng billowed his beard and glared as he said, "You punk, you nearly turned Wu Meng Capital City upside down, you actually still dare to say that you''re low-profile!"


    "Haha, that was an accident!" Ye Yuan laughed and said.


    Xiao Feng was just making a joke and did not continue to make fun of Ye Yuan regarding this matter. He knew that Wu Meng Capital City''s incident was not Ye Yuan''s fault.


    Ye Yuan''s high-profile was completely forced out.


    "But your nerves are really great, to actually dare secretly return to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City! Qin Xiao still has some power in the Martial Tower, you got to be careful! Once the matter of you returning is known by him, he''ll definitely think of ways to deal with you," Xiao Feng said.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "His dog life, I''ll claim it sooner or later. Even though I can''t deal with him right now, for him to want to kill me again, he can''t do it!"


    Xiao Feng''s eyes lit up. It looked like Ye Yuan had quite a few fortuitous encounters again drifting around outside these few years!


    Only then did Xiao Feng discover that Ye Yuan''s realm already broke through to the Origin Deity Realm.


    This cultivation speed was a little too fast, right?


    When he left back then, he was just at the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm!


    In merely ten years from start to end, he actually directly broke through a major realm.


    "Huhu, you punk can''t be gauged with common sense! Alright, since we found you, go to the inner city together with us then!" Xiao Feng laughed and said.


    With the Myriad Treasure Tower''s strength, letting Ye Yuan enter the inner city was naturally a cinch.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No hurry, the reason I urgently used this kind of method to meet you guys is actually that there''s still something more important."


    Xiao Feng said puzzledly, "What is it?"


    Ye Yuan took out a jade box and passed it to Xie Jingyi, saying, "Fatty, this is my promise to you! Today, I can fulfill it!"


    Xie Jingyi''s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, "This �� Could this be ��"


    He suddenly recalled that back then, when he had just woken up, Ye Yuan told him that he would definitely find a way to help him restore his divine sea!


    At that time, Ye Yuan did not care about it at all, thinking that Ye Yuan was just consoling him, that was why he would say so.


    Was it possible that �� this guy really did it?


    How was this possible?


    These few years, Xiao Feng even found the Myriad Treasure Tower''s Four-star Alchemy God to help diagnose him, but nobody could do it!


    His divine sea was virtually completely wasted; unable to recover at all.


    Xiao Feng even spent a huge price inviting the Pill Tower''s elder to take action and could not get his wish too.


    These few years, Xie Jingyi was actually very decadent.


    Becoming a cripple, this was not a life that he wanted.


    He lost his family, lost the person he loved. Now, even his cultivation was gone. This made him almost despair.


    These few years, he practically drowned his sorrows in alcohol everyday.


    When Xiao Feng saw him like this, he was powerless too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Good brother, you only became like this because of me! Not treating you, I''ll feel uneasy for all my life. Don''t be so agitated. Huhu, it''s also thanks to you I guess, that I improved a step further in Alchemy Dao!"


    The muscles on Little Fatty''s face were quivering. On the one hand, it was because of excitement. On the other, it was because he was moved.


    Getting such a brother, what else did he need?


    But the Xiao Feng by the side trembled all over and said in disbelief, "You �� You really did it? Actually, me bringing Xie Jingyi here today is just wanting to try our luck. You punk �� which step did you walk until in Alchemy Dao?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I don''t know either. But �� I seem to have stepped into another realm. As for the specifics, I can''t say for sure too."


    Xiao Feng sucked in a cold breath. He knew that when Ye Yuan was at the Grotto Profound Deity Realm back then, his understanding towards Alchemy Dao was already incomparably profound.


    Stepping into another realm now, what kind of inconceivable world was that?!


    Alchemists who knew Dao Realm existed were just in the small minority.


    Master Xuan Yu only heard of this realm under a very coincidental situation too.


    Even Dustless did not know about the Dao Realm, this state.


    However, the Ning Siyu by side was incomparably certain at this time and this other state was Dao Realm!


    She did not expect that this guy really stepped into Dao Realm!


    This guy was too heaven-defying!


    "Doesn''t matter! Since I caught you, this brat, you have to give me a proper lesson this time! After breaking through to Four-star Alchemy God, I feel that it''s hard to trudge along. It''s very difficult to have breakthroughs again. Just nice, can find you, boy, to clarify my doubts!" Xiao Feng said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Xiao is too modest. We definitely should discuss things! Fatty, you go into seclusion then. This Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pill can definitely help you recover to your peak state. Us brothers will challenge the pugilistic world again!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan talked about it heroically, Little Fatty also felt his heart stir, recalling the deed of slapping the little demoness back then.

 1556 So What If Picking a Quarrel With You All?

    Ning Siyu stared at Ye Yuan, the confused look in her eyes becoming thicker and thicker.


    She discovered that the things Ye Yuan said, she actually understood less and less!


    What this guy talked about, was it really rank three alchemy knowledge?


    But opposite of Ye Yuan, Xiao Feng had an appearance of learning with an open-mind, but his gaze became brighter and brighter, feeling a sense of enlightenment.


    The agreed upon interaction became a one-sided clarification of doubts now.


    At the same time, he was also shocked to the extreme in his heart.


    Several decades had already passed since the two people had an exchange the last time.


    He discovered that now, he was already completely unable to exchange with Ye Yuan on an equal footing.


    What Ye Yuan talking about was another realm, giving him a feeling of beholding a great mountain.


    However, he had a feeling of becoming enlightened all of a sudden right now. Some problems encountered these few years, under Ye Yuan''s answering, became transparent.


    "You, kid, are really remarkable! In a short several decades, you actually made such great progress! We �� are already unable to talk as peers," Xiao Feng said speechlessly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I also didn''t expect that ever since stepping into another realm, there''s a feeling of looking down from a high place. Many things that I didn''t understand in the past, I can have it at my fingertips now."


    Regarding this, Xiao Feng had his breath taken away and he said, "I really don''t know what kind of realm can let you improve until this point! Looks like this old man can''t just look forward blindly. According to what you say, the things that this old man left out in the realms before are seriously too many."


    Seeing that Xiao Feng understood to some extent, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Building a high-rise building, the foundation has to be deep. Otherwise, it will be a rootless weed and may collapse at any time. Regardless of whether alchemy or martial arts, the logic won''t change."


    Xiao Feng deeply felt that way too and said, "What my younger brother said is true! This old man will mend the pen after the sheep have been stolen when I go back[1]!"


    The two people were just talking when Little Fatty pushed open the door and entered.


    Xiao Feng looked over, his eyes involuntarily turning sharp.


    An upheaval change seemed to have occurred to Little Fatty''s entire person.


    The decadence on his face was swept clean away, his essence, energy, and spirit having a whole new outlook.


    Especially his eyes, it became sharp and radiant, becoming like a different person from before!


    The only thing that did not change was that round figure.


    And Little Fatty''s realm also rose rapidly, his realm breaking through to half-step Origin Deity.


    Just one more step and he could break through to Origin Deity Realm.


    Seeing this scene, even Xiao Feng was unbelievably shocked.


    This Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pill that Ye Yuan took out was simply an uncanny work of the gods!


    "Ye Yuan, this medicinal pill of yours is really too incredible! After I refine it, I simply have a feeling of being remould anew!" Little Fatty said with an excited look.


    This feeling of being filled with power was truly long lost!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s of course! This Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pill''s ingredients are extremely valuable. Even so, I collected ten sets of spirit medicines too and refined ten divine-grade Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pills, picking out the one with the best quality and saving it for you."


    A divine-grade divine pill, the quality would have a minute difference too.


    Toward his own good brother, Ye Yuan naturally would not be stingy.


    When he was at the fiend race, he made use of his relationship with the Fiend Medicine Hall and Fan Family, and immediately collected ten sets of Heart Healing Heavenly Mark Pill''s spirit medicines.


    If not for the materials being too precious, he even wanted to refine a hundred divine-grade divine pills, picking out the best one among them.


    Little Fatty had a touched look and said, "Good brother!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, right, you comprehend the law of wind. Later, I''ll find you refine a few Wind Language Pills. It should be a cinch for you to break through to the Origin Deity Realm."


    The Wind Language Pill was the Gale Celestial Stone Pill''s weak version. It could help Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists comprehend the law of wind.


    Xiao Feng and Ning Siyu were both speechless. With such a brother, breaking through was so effortless!


    Dao Realm alchemists were really too frightening.


    As long as Ye Yuan was given sufficient spirit medicines, he could even create an Origin Deity Realm army within a short hundred years!


    "M-Master Ye!"


    Right then, a shout came from outside the door.


    Immediately after, it was a burst of footsteps.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, bringing everyone out to the lobby.


    In the lobby, Huang Qian''s entire person was collapsed in a pool of blood, not an unscathed spot from head to toe.


    A large group of people ahead surrounded the entire hall until not even water could seep through.


    "Go, bring the person over for me!"


    The one at the front was a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse who did not place Ye Yuan in his sights at all.


    This person was called Guo Xingwang, Deyi Hall''s number one protector, his strength formidable.


    As for Xiao Feng, he did not release his realm pressure. That person could not see through his depths at all.


    A subordinate received the order and went, and was going to bring Huang Qian away.


    "Master �� Ye, save �� save me!" Huang Qian used all of his strength and shouted to Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan raised a foot, and that subordinate immediately flew out, half-dead.


    Guo Xingwang''s gaze turned cold and he said to Ye Yuan, "Punk, don''t think that you can be cocky by treating a few patients! This person is our Deyi Hall''s important criminal. Now, we''re going to capture him back. If you dare to poke your nose into what isn''t your business, I''ll tear down this little medicine shop of yours today!"


    Guo Xingwang naturally knew about this Miracle Hand Parlor''s foundation. It was said that there was even a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse who took action that day. Furthermore, it was even a member of the Ning Family.


    It was just that that member of the Ning Family seemed to be very hostile towards the Miracle Hand Parlor. They naturally could not be their backer.


    Therefore, he did not place the tiny little Miracle Hand Parlor in his sights at all.


    Even if Xing Guan came, he did not fear in the slightest too.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. Bending down to check Huang Qian''s injuries, his brows involuntarily knitted together.


    Huang Qian''s injuries were very severe. Furthermore, he was even poisoned with a potent poison.


    If it were other alchemists, they would definitely be at the end of their ropes already.


    Ye Yuan moved like lightning, tapping a few times on Huang Qian''s body, then fished out a healing medicinal pill and a Detoxification Pill, and stuffed them into Huang Qian''s mouth.


    Huang Qian''s expression eased up and he directly fainted away.


    When Guo Xingwang saw that Ye Yuan completely ignored him, he could not help burning with fury.


    This punk was indeed as rampant as in the rumors!


    "Kid, I think that you''re refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Do you really think that by hanging a signboard, you can pick a quarrel with my Deyi Hall? Heh, just nice, Xing Guan isn''t around today, I''ll take care of you, this condescending brat, first!"


    Guo Xingwang laughed coldly and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.


    A measly initial-stage Origin Deity, wouldn''t he mow him down with a snap of a finger?


    Bang!


    He was brought down in a snap of a finger!


    In midair, Guo Wingwang sprayed fresh blood wildly, directly knocking into several subordinates before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    He scrambled to his feet, his gaze that looked towards Xiao Feng was full of shock!


    A powerful aura instantly filled the entire hall.


    That was the aura of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    At this instant, all of Guo Xingwang''s tyrannical aura completely became dim.


    Wasn''t it said that the Ning Family Divine Lord Realm already returned to the inner city?


    Where did another Divine Lord Realm powerhouse pop out from?


    Just what background did this little medicine shop have?


    Xiao Feng''s expression was slightly dark as he said, "A measly Deyi Hall, so what if picking a quarrel with you all?"


    [1] Make up for things.

 1557 Hit! Hit Ruthlessly!

    "Y-Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one had eyes but couldn''t see and offended Your Excellency! This �� This lowly one will get lost right away!"


    Guo Xingwang originally thought that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually a metal plate.


    "Halt!" Ye Yuan suddenly said in a cold voice.


    Guo Xingwang''s body turned stiff. Squeezing out a smile that was even uglier than crying, he said, "What �� What instructions does Master Ye have?"


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "What''s wrong with him?"


    Huang Qian was his patient. Ye Yuan had just treated him and he was immediately beaten by people until like this. He was also quite enraged in his heart.


    Although their standpoints were different, his impression of this uncle and nephew two people were still considered pretty good.


    Most importantly, Huang Qian was his proud achievement.


    That Purple Quill Marrow Extermination was indeed very troublesome. It was extremely hard to come by test for him too.


    If not for this, he also would not spend four hours to diagnose Huang Qian''s pulse.


    Actually, Deyi Hall''s shameful deeds, he already guessed more than half when he saw Huang Qian.


    It was nothing more than Wu Feng feeling that he had a great loss of face and cast the fire on this uncle and nephew two people.


    Huang Qian''s appearance probably meant that Huang Haoran was fraught with grim possibilities already.


    Ye Yuan was not some goody-two-shoes. These two people did not have much relationship with him. He did not need to stand up for them.


    But Deyi Hall actually pursued it until they made him very upset.


    "This �� This ��" Guo Xingwang stammered, not knowing how he should answer.


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "If you all caught him outside, I don''t care and can''t be bothered to care either. But you guys actually beat my patient until like this in the Miracle Hand Parlor, and then you want to walk away just like that?"


    Guo Xingwang''s expression was ugly to the extreme and he said awkwardly, "Master Ye, this �� this lowly one knows my mistake!"


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Death penalty can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment!"


    Guo Xingwang cried bitterness in his heart. But a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse was there, so he really did not dare to be insolent and could only say, "What does �� Master Ye want?"


    Actually, Guo Xingwang heaved a slight sigh of relief in his heart. At the very least, he preserved his life.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance at his subordinates and said coolly, "You guys, beat him up ruthlessly! Don''t be too severe, let him return lying down and that will do."


    "Pfft!"


    Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru both could not resist laughing out loud.


    Ye Yuan was too bad.


    Opposite of them, everyone''s faces turned stiff. The subordinates used strange gazes to look at Guo Xingwang.


    Guo Xingwang said in a solemn voice, "I''ll see which of you dare to make a move!"


    "If nobody makes a move, then I can only invite Brother Xiao to take action," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Guo Xingwang simply wanted to curse and swear, but he did not dare!


    Straight away, he could only have a bitter face and pointed at himself as he said, "Hit! H-Hit ruthlessly!"


    The subordinates exchanged glances, nobody dared to make a move first.


    Looking as Ye Yuan''s expression was becoming increasingly grimmer, Guo Xingwang immediately flew off the handle.


    "F*cking hell, asked you all you hit, did you hear it or not? You all want to die, is it? Hit!" Guo Xingwang put on a brave front and said viciously.


    Looking at Guo Xingwang''s behavior, the two girls covered their mouths and smiled. Even Xiao Feng was smiling too.


    Ye Yuan this boy, his lousy ideas were really a lot.


    When the subordinates saw that the boss was already like this, they could only grit their teeth and hit!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    A series of punches and kicks, Guo Xingwang was beaten until he rolled on the ground, already beaten black and blue.


    Even though his subordinates'' strengths were inferior to his, he did not dare to resist at all right now. He naturally could not avoid the agony of the flesh.


    However, Ye Yuan was still not satisfied and said with a cold snort, "I said before, I want him to go out lying down! You all don''t forget who I am, how bad his injuries are can''t hide from my eyes!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Hearing this, Guo Xingwang immediately spewed out a mouthful of old blood and shouted, "Did you all not f*cking eat rice? Put in some effort for me! Hitting like this, do you all want to hit until tomorrow morning?"


    While it hurt, how could the subordinates dare to deal a heavy blow?


    Whoever used too much divine essence and got hated by the half-step Divine Lord boss, they would not even know how they died.


    Hence, while they hit, it was impossible to cause real damage to Guo Xingwang at all.


    But hitting like this, Guo Xingwang was even more painful instead.


    The feeling of fists punching onto the flesh was not that comfortable.


    With him roaring, the subordinates also knew that they could not be spared today and could all only burst forth with divine essence, greeting onto Guo Xingwang''s body.


    Before long, Guo Xingwang was at death''s door and could not even speak.


    "Alright, get lost then!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    The group of subordinates was akin to having been granted amnesty. Carrying Guo Xingwang, they left like a puff of smoke.


    When the neighbors who did not know the truth saw this scene, they could not help being surprised.


    "Isn''t that Deyi Hall''s chief protector, Guo Xingwang? I seem to have seen his subordinates beat him up just now?"


    "It really seems so! Does this guy have a tendency for self-masochism? His own subordinates hit him and he actually still did not retaliate?"


    "Hang on! They came out of the Miracle Hand Parlor. Could they have �� offended Master Ye?"


    "Master Ye is merely initial-stage Origin Deity, so why is this bunch of people so scared of him? Tsk tsk, Master Ye is really unfathomable!"


    ...


    Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru two people had long laughed themselves into fits already.


    "Hehe, Master Ye, you''re really too bad! How do you want him to lift his head up in front of his subordinates in the future?" Ning Siyu laughed hard and said.


    Ye Yuan smirked and said, "What does that have to do with me? They came to provoke me first! If people don''t offend me, I don''t offend people! If people offend me, heh heh!"


    Ye Yuan let the shopkeeper tidy up and brought everyone into the inner hall.


    Ye Yuan sent a trace of divine essence into Huang Qian''s body. Very soon, he slowly woke up.


    "Your second uncle is already poisoned to death by Wu Feng?" Ye Yuan asked.


    The moment Huang Qian heard Wu Feng''s name, his two eyes turned blood-red, the muscles on his face started convulsing.


    "Wu Feng this brute! I �� I must kill him!" Huang Qian said and gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and reached his hand out to press on Huang Qian''s head. A wave of gentle soul force invaded Huang Qian''s sea of consciousness.


    Gradually, Huang Qian quietened down and became less maniacal, his entire person much more peaceful.


    Ye Yuan took his hand away and said, "Talk, say it out, it will feel better."


    ...


    When Wu Feng saw Guo Xingwang''s miserable state, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.


    Too miserable!


    This guy was already almost beaten until he did not have human form anymore.


    "Who did it?" Wu Feng said in a solemn voice.


    The group of subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what they should say.


    "We �� We were the ones who hit!" a subordinate said softly.


    "Mn? What''s going on? Made you all go out to capture a person, how did you all return like this?" Wu Feng said in a solemn voice.


    That subordinate recounted the incident that happened at the Miracle Hand Parlor. Wu Feng''s brows furrowed together.


    "This boy clearly just came from outside the city. But why would there be a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse backing him up? Humph! So what if Divine Lord Realm powerhouse? Could it be that �� I don''t have a backer? This punk opposed me time and again. Does he really take me, Wu Feng, to be easy to knead?! This time, I must tear down your signboard and chase you out of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!" Wu Feng said with a cold snort.

 1558 Drag Over Here for Me

    At the Pill Tower, the proud looking Wu Feng appeared very respectful in front of this slightly fat old man.


    "How has Master been?" Wu Feng bowed down deeply.


    This old man was the Pill Tower''s high-level deacon, a middle-stage Four-star Alchemy God, Deercry.


    Deercry was considered a senior deacon in the Pill Tower. His disciples spread all over the inner and outer city.


    Wu Feng was one of his disciples.


    As a disciple of the Pill Tower, Wu Feng naturally had the authority to enter the inner city.


    Regarding this disciple, Deercry was still quite satisfied.


    Although his talent was a little poor, having no hopes of breaking through to Four-star Alchemy God, he was at least very filial to Deercry and very sensible.


    Such a person building his own influence in the outer city seemed to be a pretty good choice.


    "Mn, you had a good intention. What �� interesting thing that you bring again this time?" Deercry said coolly.


    Wu Feng pulled out a jade flask and handed it to Deercry respectfully and said fawningly, "Master, this is an Iceheart Jade Flask that this disciple obtained recently. It''s incomparably delicious.


    Deercry took it and opened the flask lid. An enticing aroma instantly filled the room.


    Deercry''s eyes lit up and he praised, "Fine wine! Fine wine! You had the heart!"


    Wu Feng''s heart was dripping blood. One should not look at how this flask was not bit. It cost him several tens of millions of divine essence stones to buy it.


    A tiny flask of wine, the price was comparable to the consultation fee for treating Huang Qian''s illness!


    Deercry was a Four-star Alchemy God, so how could the things that could move him be ordinary items?


    Each time he entered the inner city, Wu Feng would rack his brains.


    Just as the Thunderclap Gang showed him filial respect, the tribute that he offered up to Deercry each time similarly cost a lot.


    But with Deercry''s support, the divine essence stones that he earned every year was also an astronomical figure.


    No loss!


    Even the Dongfang Family did not dare to be disrespectful toward him.


    Deercry put away the jade flask, gave Wu Feng a glance, and said coolly, "Did you �� run into some problems recently?"


    Wu Feng smiled and said, "Master can see through everything! Recently, a junior appeared in the south city. He simply has no respect for anyone, incomparably arrogant! He actually dares to claim to grant all requests, turning the south city upside down!"


    Deercry raised his eyelids slightly and said with a smile, "It''s that little medicine shop called Miracle Hand Parlor, right? Will grant all requests! Heh heh, I also heard about it. Truly high-sounding sentiments!"


    Wu Feng hurriedly said, "Master has no idea! This punk''s tone is more than big, it''s simply huge without borders! Does Master remember a patient that I brought back then, even Master couldn''t find the cause of the illness?"


    Deercry thought about it for a moment and said in shock, "You''re talking about that living dead person? Is it possible that �� that punk actually found it?"


    Wu Feng nodded and said, "Heh, this punk blindly stumbled upon it and he actually really cured him!"


    Deercry''s shock was by no means insignificant. A cause that even he could not find out, a Three-star Alchemy God actually cured it?


    His gaze turned intent and he said in a solemn voice, "Then it looks like this brat really has some ability!"


    Wu Feng was delighted inwardly, aware that his master was already somewhat unhappy. Immediately, he said with a cold smile, "Ability my *ss! He merely stumbled upon it blindly! What''s even more infuriating is that that subordinate of mine actually sold you out, saying that his nephew had once been treated by Master Deercry before and didn''t even find any problem. You guess what that kid said?"


    Deercry''s gaze turned cold and he said in a low voice, "This seat doesn''t like to play this kind of guessing game! Speak!"


    Wu Feng hurriedly put on an incomparably indignant front and said, "Yes, Master! That hateful brat actually said ''Is this Master Deercry very amazing? A Four-star Alchemy God is also merely so!'' Don''t you find it infuriating?"


    Wu Feng gave embellishment to it, angering Deercry until he turned livid with rage.


    Bang!


    The tea table beside Deercry directly shattered into dust.


    The flesh on his face was convulsing. It could be seen how furious he was.


    "A mere Three-star Alchemy God actually dared to utter such wild ravings! Could it be that �� you''re going to let them carry on surviving?" Deercry''s gaze was sharp as he stared at Wu Feng and said coldly.


    Wu Feng put on an appearance of being bullied and said, "Master is unjust! How could I let this punk defile master like so? At that time, I sent people to go smash the Miracle Hand Parlor. Who knew that this Miracle Hand Parlor''s foundation is deep and found a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse from no idea where. Disciple �� Disciple really isn''t a match!"


    Divine Lord Realm''s gaze turned cold and he said icily, "Just a Divine Lord Realm and he dares to vilify a Pill Tower''s senior, humph! This seat wants to see how hard their bones are!"


    Deercry slowly got up, summoned a middle-aged man, and said in a solemn voice, "Tang Rui, take a trip with Wu Feng. Tear down that whatever Miracle Hand Parlor for me! Drag that punk called Ye Yuan here for me! As for that Divine Lord Realm, send him to the Martial Tower with interfering in the outer city''s affairs as the reason!"


    Tang Rui bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Deacon!"


    ...


    Hearing Huang Qian''s words, Ye Yuan sighed too, while Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru two people were extremely indignant.


    "This Wu Feng is simply inhumane! Saved him before that it''s a big deal? He can be so unscrupulous and unbridled? A-Angering this young lady to death!" Ning Siyu was enraged until her chest heaved up and down, almost about to rush out to take revenge for Huang Qian.


    "Big Brother Ye, this Wu Feng is indeed too infuriating. Their uncle and nephew two people were loyal and staunch. But in the end, they got this kind of ending. You have to stand up for them!" Liang Wanru also said.


    Ye Yuan patted Huang Qian''s shoulder and opened his mouth to say, "My condolences. Don''t think so much first, stay here first and heal your injuries before talking."


    Huang Qian was stunned, his eyes revealing a look of despair.


    If even Master Ye did not care, then he would really have no hope of taking revenge.


    Wu Feng''s power in the south city was not something he could shake.


    "M-Many thanks, Master Ye!" Huang Qian gritted his teeth and answered.


    After Huang Qian left, the two ladies'' gazes when looking at Ye Yuan was full of unhappiness.


    "Ye Yuan, I really misjudged you! Didn''t expect that you''re so cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble!" Ning Siyu had an appearance that abhorred evil as if it were her enemy as she said.


    "Big Brother Ye, are you really the Big Brother ye that I know? That Huang Qian is already so tragic, you actually don''t even help him!" Liang Wanru questioned Ye Yuan for the first time.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Didn''t I already take him in? How else do you want me to help him?"


    "You �� Shouldn''t you go and capture that Wu Feng to bow his head and admit his guilt in front of Huang Qian?" Ning Siyu said indignantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled, but did not answer Ning Siyu, and went out the door.


    His attitude angered Ning Siyu until she stomped her feet and said, "Hey, what''s with your attitude?! A-Angering this young lady to death! This young lady wants to break off all relations with you!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to go out the door when a benevolent-looking old man entered the Miracle Hand Parlor.


    "May I ask if Master Ye is around?" said that old man.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him rather surprisedly. He actually could not fathom the other party''s depths.


    Could it be �� another Divine Lord Realm powerhouse?


    "I''m Ye Yuan. I wonder why is Senior looking for this Ye?" Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    When the old man saw that Ye Yuan was so young, he could not help getting a huge shock and said, "This old man is Xuan Yu from the Pill Tower. I heard that Master Ye is an alchemy expert, so I purposely came to compare notes with you, exchanging views."

 1559 Comparing Notes

    "Comparing notes? Not interested!"


    Some random guy that he did not know wanted to compare notes with him. How could he have so much free time to entertain the guy?


    He already cured Little Fatty now and already had no worries. He could choose to not give anyone face.


    At the very most, he would hide in the Purple Extreme Hall and run away.


    With a true god mystic treasure, even this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s city lord could not breach its defenses too.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan had nothing to fear right now.


    The old man''s face turned stiff, clearly not expecting that Ye Yuan was so disrespectful.


    Even if he did not know him, in this imperial city, mentioning the Pill Tower''s name, he had never been so disregarded before.


    But Xuan Yu was good-tempered and did not get angry. He was just about to open his mouth and exchange greetings but saw a group of people come out of the inner hall.


    Seeing Xuan Yu, Xiao Feng''s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, "Could Sir be �� Master Xuan Yu?"


    Xuan Yu did not recognize Xiao Feng but was somewhat surprised too. This place actually still had a Four-star Alchemy God.


    "Huhu, it''s precisely this old man. Pardon this old man for not remembering if I''ve seen you before, but I wonder who your esteemed self is?" Xuan Yu said with a faint smile.


    Xiao Feng gave a bow respectfully and said, "Junior is the Myriad Treasure Tower''s Xiao Feng. The last time the Pill Tower hosted a sermon, Junior was lucky enough to listen to Master''s teachings!"


    Xuan Yu smiled and was indifferent to it.


    The alchemists who heard him preach on Dao before in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City were truly too many. He naturally could not remember all of them.


    "So that''s how it is! But why would the Myriad Treasure Tower''s alchemist be here?" Xuan Yu asked curiously.


    "Master Master Xiao and that guy are old acquaintances. They knew each other very long ago already," at this time, Ning Siyu suddenly spoke up.


    Regarding Xuan Yu''s arrival, she did not feel surprised. It was just that she did not expect that he would come so quickly.


    "Master?"


    Xiao Feng''s gaze turned intent, looking at Ning Siyu in great surprise.


    He completely did not expect that this girl''s background was actually so great.


    Xuan Yu was an authority-class figure in the Pill Tower. She was actually Xuan Yu''s disciple!


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too, not expecting that this old man was actually Ning Siyu''s master.


    But this way, it could be explained too. Most likely, the other party saw the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, that was why he would come to find him to compare notes.


    "Master Xuan Yu coming here, could it be for Ye Yuan?" Xiao Feng was not stupid either, guessing a trace of inkling very quickly.


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Yes. I heard that Master Ye''s Alchemy Dao is peerless and specially came to ask for advice."


    Xiao Feng''s pupils constricted. Although he knew that Ye Yuan was very formidable, for even Master Xuan Yu to also respectfully call Ye Yuan ''master'', it still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.


    One had to know that if Master Xuan Yu stomped his feet, this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would quake!


    His attainments in alchemy were also far from what the average Four-star Alchemy God could compare to.


    Now, he was actually so humble in front of Ye Yuan!


    But Ning Siyu came to Xuan Yu''s side in a huff, pulled him away, and said, "Master, don''t exchange notes with this guy anymore. He isn''t worthy! Humph!"


    Xuan Yu was somewhat surprised by Ning Siyu''s attitude. This girl lauded Ye Yuan to the skies, so why did it seem like they fell out in a blink of an eye?


    He was not pulled away by Ning Siyu, but asked doubtfully, "Lass, what''s wrong?"


    Ning Siyu stomped her feet and recounted the matter of Huang Qian uncle and nephew angrily and said, "Master, don''t you think that this guy is infuriating? Not worthy of taking on any responsibility, still call master!"


    Xuan Yu looked at Ning Siyu, and then he looked at Ye Yuan again, and suddenly said with a smile, "Lass, what do you know? That uncle and nephew two people are Wu Feng''s subordinates. Wu Feng also had a life-saving grace toward them. Although killing them is rather despicable, others can''t talk behind his back at all! You ask Master Ye to intervene, what identity would he use to go and intervene? There''s no justifiable reason!"


    When Ning Siyu heard that Master actually stood on Ye Yuan''s side, she could not help saying angrily, "Why are you like this too, Master? Need what justifiable reason? Directly capture him, will other people still dare to make idle talk?"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "You lass, so impatient, craving for the world to be plunged into chaos! Master Ye is merely initial-stage Origin Deity, not only is the Deyi Hall''s own strength formidable, but they also have all kinds of connections with the Dongfang Family and the Pill Tower. You asked him to go and intervene, isn''t this sending him into the tiger''s maws?"


    Ning Siyu was anxiously and reproved, "Then �� could it be that we''re not going to do anything?"


    "Huhu, you lass! Did he say that he''s not caring? Alright, you shouldn''t worry, don''t be concerned about it too much. Otherwise, go back and face the wall for three years!" Xuan Yu said with a smile.


    The moment she heard this, Ning Siyu immediately shriveled up.


    "Not worrying about it then! Humph!" Ning Siyu made a funny face at Ye Yuan.


    But she also felt much more relieved in her heart. She knew that Master definitely saw through something, that was why he would say so.


    Ye Yuan was also very surprised. This old man saw it clear as day and seemed to have already seen through him.


    Sure enough, this was not a simple old man.


    "Turns out that Senior is Siyu''s master. I''ve offended Senior earlier. Since Senior wants to compare notes on Alchemy Dao, then enter the inner hall and chat then," Ye Yuan said and clasped his hands together.


    Xuan Yu could not suppress laughter and said, "I didn''t expect that in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this old man actually had to rely on my disciple''s face to achieve my goal one day, haha!"


    Wherever Xuan Yu went, there were always many attendants crowding around. Who was not respectful to him?


    Who knew that today, an Origin Deity Realm junior actually did not even pay attention to him.


    Ye Yuan''s attitude clearly changed because of Ning Siyu. This made him unable to resist mocking himself.


    Entering the inner hall, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said, "I wonder how Senior wants to compare notes?"


    Xuan Yu had clearly long thought about it and immediately said, "Make it pill refining then!"


    Ning Siyu immediately spoke up, "Master, you''re a Four-star Alchemy God, isn''t this bullying people?"


    Xuan Yu pulled a long face and said disgruntledly, "Go to one side and watch! In a while, when Master Ye and I refine pills, you learn properly. It''s sufficient for you to benefit for life! Competing in pill refinement with Master Ye, what we''re competing in are naturally rank three divine pills!"


    Ning Siyu muttered to herself and retreated to one side reluctantly.


    While Xiao Feng was extremely excited. These two people sparing in pill refinement was absolutely the greatest flourishing moment in the entire history of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    But the audience were only him and Ning Siyu, two people. This was a massive lucky chance!


    Chasing away Ning Siyu, Xuan Yu turned to Ye Yuan again and said, "This old man prepared ten kinds of pill formulas and prepared two sets of spirit medicines for each pill formula. Let''s each refine ten of the same medicinal pill, how about it?"


    Ye Yuan was naturally indifferent and said with a nod, "Up to your preference!"


    Xuan Yu nodded his head and said, "Then I''ll go first! The first kind of medicinal pill, Silvermoon Pointstar Pill."


    For the sake of fairness, Xuan Yu only used a rank three medicinal cauldron too. It was the medicinal cauldron that he used when he was still a Three-star Alchemy God.


    The moment Xuan Yu made his move, there was naturally the air of a master.


    Condensing the embryo, dowsing, refining the pill, it was done in one go.


    Ye Yuan observed from the sidelines and could not help secretly nodding.


    As expected, worthy of being an important character that even Xiao Feng admired. This pill refining technique could absolutely count as a master.


    "Silvermoon Pointstar Pill, the primary ingredient is Silvermoon Weed, Pointstar Seed, two kinds of rank three spirit medicines. But the key lies in the fusion of supplementary materials ��"


    After Xuan Yu started refining the pill, Ye Yuan suddenly started reviewing it softly.


    Xiao Feng''s and Ning Siyu''s eyes turned sharp and hurriedly perked their ears up, staring at Xuan Yu with utmost concentration at the same time.

 1560 Helping You Teach Disciples

    The Silvermoon Pointstar Pill''s refinement difficulty is considered as medium difficulty. It was slightly easier than the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.


    With Xuan Yu''s strength, it did not require too much time.


    After four hours plus, the Silvermoon Pointstar Pill was done.


    Xiao Feng praised him. "Master Xuan Yu is indeed worthy of being the Pill Tower''s Second Elder. This Universe Transfer Hand is truly transcendent! This Silvermoon Pointstar Pill, the lousiest is probably superior-grade too, right?"


    Xuan Yu chuckled and said, "This old man has put on an incompetent performance. I wonder what Master Ye thinks about it?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Barely passable I guess. Some minute details are still not on point enough yet. But divine-grade should be just about enough."


    Xiao Feng listened until the muscles on his face twitched heavily. To dare appraise Master Xuan Yu like this, there was probably just Ye Yuan, right?


    But Ning Siyu smiled playfully and said, "Master, he criticized you until you were utterly worthless just now! According to what he said just now, you were more than a tiny bit off. It''s simply that you don''t know how to refine pills!"


    Xuan Yu''s eyes glimmered and he said, "Oh? What did Master Ye say just now?"


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth twitched. He was just explaining for her and Xiao Feng to listen just now.


    Xuan Yu was, at any rate, an alchemy master and still had to have face. He did not expect that this girl was so tactless, saying it out to his face.


    Ning Siyu did not hide it either, repeating Ye Yuan''s words once.


    The more Xuan Yu listened, the more solemn his expression got.


    Reaching his realm, his understanding of alchemy was naturally not what the average person could compare to.


    Even Xiao Feng was akin to a child in front of him.


    But some details that Ye Yuan said, they were all something that he had never paid attention to before.


    Some understanding regarding Dao, he was actually unable to fully comprehend it!


    But with his experience, he could naturally distinguish whether Ye Yuan said it correctly or not.


    He was certain that refining according to Ye Yuan''s method, the quality would definitely attain greater heights!


    Even though reaching divine-grade, this kind of level, the improvement in quality was negligible, the effect was heaven and earth!


    The Dao Realm was actually so dreadfully appalling?


    This Silvermoon Pointstar Pill was his specialty medicinal pill. He did not expect that there were actually still so many areas missed out.


    "Master Ye is indeed well-deserving of being a Dao Realm master, able to recognize the whole through observation of one small part! This old man has been taught by you!" Xuan Yu said.


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with uncertainty, "The Dao Realm?"


    Xuan Yu was surprised as he said, "What, could it be that you actually don''t know your realm?"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I broke through by chance. But regarding this realm, I''m completely clueless. Senior please resolve my doubts."


    Xuan Yu could not help being speechless. He did not even know about the Dao Realm and he could actually even break through.


    But thinking about it, that made sense too. Ye Yuan''s level, unless he was an apex major power''s disciple, otherwise, how could he possibly know about the existence of Dao Realm?


    Straight away, he did not conceal it either. Xuan Yu explained Dao Realm for Ye Yuan to hear.


    After Ye Yuan listened to it, he finally understood his current realm.


    It seemed like when he re-cultivated Alchemy Dao and used the Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art, it was already very close to the Dao Realm.


    Through his experience in the Heavenspan World, he finally broke through while being at the fiend race''s territory


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior, for resolving my doubts. It''s my turn to refine the Silvermoon Pointstar Pill. Please don''t laugh at my performance."


    But Xuan Yu stopped Ye Yuan and said, "Master Ye, wait a moment."


    Ye Yuan said in puzzlement, "What is it?"


    Xuan Yu said, "It''s almost time, they should have arrived."


    Right then, the shopkeeper came in to report that four young men came outside.


    Bringing them in and taking a look, Ning Siyu nearly jumped up: "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, why have you all come?"


    When Ye Yuan saw this lineup, how could he still not understand? He could not help smiling bitterly and said, "Senior, you''re borrowing comparing of notes to have me help you teach disciples!"


    Eldest Senior Brother''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "Teach disciples? A mere Three-star Alchemy God actually dares to boast so shamelessly!"


    "Master, your status is noble. How can you spar in pill refinement with a Three-star Alchemy God?" Third Senior Brother said.


    "Master, you made us come to watch a Three-star kid refine pills? This �� Isn''t this wasting time?" exclaimed Fourth Senior Brother.


    Only Second Senior Brother sized Ye Yuan up and down and did not say anything.


    But his eyes were also full of suspicion.


    It was true that Ye Yuan was too young. He was really unable to imagine that such a young man could refine the divine-grade Gale Celestial Stone Pill!


    Xuan Yu billowed his beard and said with a cold snort, "The few of you, following this old man these years, you''ve already become somewhat condescending! Even Master has to show some respect towards Master Ye, but you guys actually dare to be disrespectful towards him?"


    The four apprentice brothers'' faces could not help changing when they saw Master get angry. Each and every one of them turned silent.


    But their faces had a big ''not convinced'' written on it. Even a fool could see it.


    These apprentice brothers four people, the eldest senior brother and second senior brother were both Four-star Alchemy Gods. Third senior brother and fourth senior brother also both reached peak Three-stars and could break through at any time. How could they possibly be convinced by Ye Yuan?


    When Xuan Yu saw their expressions, he was still about to fly off the handle but was stopped by Ye Yuan who said with a smile, "Senior, the ignorant is not to be blamed. You made Four-star Alchemy Gods come and watch a Three-star Alchemy God refine pills, anyone would feel indignant in their hearts."


    "Heh, at least you have self-awareness!" Eldest Senior Brother said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "How about this, I won''t force you guys either. I''ll compete in ten pill formulas with your master. If I have a medicinal pill''s quality lower than your master''s, I''ll kowtow and apologize for my offense toward you all, alright?"


    "Wildly arrogant!"


    "Ignorant!"


    "Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the four people explode all at once.


    Even Xuan Yu himself also slightly revealed a look of surprise on his face.


    This kid was so confident!


    He knew that the Dao Realm was formidable, but just how formidable, he had not seen it before.


    It was precisely because the Dao Realm was hard to come by that he would call several apprentices to come and observe and study.


    These ten pill formulas were all carefully selected by him, each harder than the last.


    Men all made mistakes, horses would stumble. This kid was so confident in himself?


    "Hehe, I approve! I approve! Master Ye, teach my senior apprentice brothers a good lesson! Let them know what''s called heaven beyond heaven, and that there''s always someone better!" Ning Siyu craved for the world to be plunged into chaos and clapped her hands gleefully.


    Eldest Senior Brother''s face turned black and he said unhappily, "Little Junior Sister, just whose side are you on, to actually help an outsider!"


    Ning Siyu stuck her tongue out and said, "I''m naturally on Master''s side. But it''s really very hard for Master to want to win against Master Ye!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said to Xuan Yu, "Senior, open the furnace!"


    Xuan Yu''s palm shook, the Silvermoon Pointstar Pill flew out. It was shockingly a divine-grade!


    When Eldest Senior Brother saw the divine-grade Silvermoon Pointstar Pill, he immediately smiled coldly and said, "Saw that? This is true strength! Master already refined a divine-grade Silvermoon Pointstar Pill. I want to see how you are going to surpass him! A mere Three-star Alchemy God, truly ignorant to the max!"


    "Kid, sprained your tongue talking big, right? Directly kneel down and kowtow then!" Third Senior Brother also said.


    But Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Who told you guys that divine-grade can''t be surpassed?"

 1561 Above Divine-grade!

    "Heh, surpassing divine-grade, you really dare to say it! I want to see how you surpass divine-grade!" Eldest Senior Brother said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then you open your eyes wide and take a good look at it."


    When Ye Yuan started refining pills, even Xuan Yu showed a hint of a solemn look too, staring at him without moving his gaze.


    Ever since learning that a Dao Realm expert appeared in the city, Xuan Yu could not fall asleep at night, very much wanting to witness the bearing of an expert.


    Today, he finally got his wish.


    The moment the divine fire rose up, the aura of Great Dao filled the entire medicine refining room.


    The faces of the four apprentice brothers changed, their faces revealing a look of surprise.


    This kind of might was what even their master could not achieve.


    The refining difficulty of the Silvermoon Pointstar Pill was at most considered elementary to Ye Yuan and did not take much effort.


    When refining, he had it at the tips of his fingers.


    After two hours, amidst everyone''s dumbfounded gazes, Ye Yuan finished refining.


    Xuan Yu furrowed his brows, appearing rather puzzled.


    While the four apprentice brothers were shocked to the core. Putting aside realm, Ye Yuan''s standard of refining rank three divine pills were absolutely not below Master''s!


    Just this point shook them off several streets behind.


    Although Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were Four-star Alchemy Gods too, refining rank three divine pills still fell short of reaching this degree of having it at the fingertips.


    What amazed them the most was that Ye Yuan was just an initial-stage Origin Deity. After finished refining the medicinal pill, his divine essence did not show the slightest sign of being deficient.


    Face not red, heart not pumping, just like he played around only for a while.


    "How is it, Eldest Senior Brother? Convinced or not?" Ning Siyu''s voice suddenly sounded out by his ear, making Eldest Senior Brother jump in fright.


    Eldest Senior Brother snorted coldly and said, "Have some strength, but �� definitely did not surpass Master''s divine-grade! In my view, whether or not this Silvermoon Pointstar Pill can reach divine-grade is enough to sputter!"


    Ning Siyu smiled and said, "Relax, Master Ye refining Silvermoon Pointstar Pill, it''s impossible to not be divine-grade!"


    When refining the Gale Celestial Stone Pill, Ning Siyu had witnessed before Ye Yuan''s Chaos Heavenly Star Art.


    She knew that Ye Yuan did not go all out at all.


    She even knew that Ye Yuan''s true strength was likely when refining the Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill!


    The refinement that time, even she did not see it!


    Ning Siyu was very much looking forward to it, not knowing whether Master could force out all of Ye Yuan''s strength today or not.


    Since Ye Yuan did not bring out his true strength, he was must be very confident in his refinement.


    However, Eldest Senior Brother was very disdainful as he said, "Tsk! Do you think that divine-grade medicinal pills are all cabbages? Even if he can refine divine-grade divine pills, it''s also not possible to surpass Master!"


    "Is that so?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, his palm shaking. The medicinal pill flew out of the medicinal cauldron.


    Everyone''s gaze landed on that little medicinal pill, their gazes involuntarily turning intent.


    This Silvermoon Pointstar Pill was shockingly divine-grade too!


    "Hehe, like I said, it''s impossible for Master Ye to not be divine-grade!" Ning Siyu smiled and said.


    Eldest Senior Brother pursed his mouth and said, "Although this medicinal pill is divine-grade too, it''s at most on par with Master''s. It''s still him who lost!"


    Xuan Yu rolled his eyes at him and said huffily, "Little punk, don''t shoot your mouth off! This round, it''s Master who lost! Master Ye''s Silvermoon Pointstar Pill is already infinitely close to ethereal divine-grade."


    Eldest Senior Brother''s gaze turned intent and he said in disbelief, "Master, you aren''t joking, right? There''s �� There''s really someone capable of refining divine-grade medicinal pills to ethereal divine-grade?"


    Xuan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Master called the few of you over?"


    Divine-grade was not the end.


    Amidst divine-grade, it was even divided into five major realms!


    Purple spirit divine-grade, void spirit divine-grade, vast spirit divine-grade, end spirit divine-grade, as well as the legendary spiritlink divine-grade!


    This was the same as refining metals. Alchemists were never able to excavate 100% of the spirit medicines'' medicinal effects.


    The higher the quality of the medicinal pill, the higher the purity.


    These five stages, each increase in level, the medicinal effects of the medicinal pills would increase several times!


    Divine-grade medicinal pills were actually because the purity reached a certain tipping point.


    This limit stumped countless alchemists.


    But above this limit, there was still room for improvement.


    It was just that to be able to have improvements above divine-grade again, it was basically exceedingly rare.


    With Eldest Senior Brother''s level, refining not too difficult Three-star divine pills, if he got lucky, it could refine divine-grade too. But that was just the most ordinary purple spirit divine-grade.


    As for void spirit divine-grade, Eldest Senior Brother basically never thought about it before.


    Even if he refined rank two divine pills, rank one divine pills, he could not refine void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills too.


    However, Ye Yuan refining a Three-star divine pill actually infinitely approached void spirit divine pill! This was too inconceivable!


    Xuan Yu put the two medicinal pills together and said to the four apprentice brothers, "You all see it by yourselves, what''s the difference between these two medicinal pills!"


    Eldest Senior Brother''s gaze sharpened and he exclaimed, "It �� It''s really much clearer than your medicinal pill! It''s a shame, just a little bit more and you can refine a void spirit divine-grade divine pill!"


    Eldest Senior Brother had his interest aroused and was itching to have a go too, forgetting the bet for a moment, and could not help lamenting.


    Void spirit divine-grade, that was a legendary grade!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Master Xuan Yu, let''s go on to the next round then!"


    Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Let''s start. This time, I''ll go first still!"


    The four apprentice brothers came back to their senses. Eldest Senior Brother pursed his mouth and said, "The medicinal pills at the back will definitely get harder and harder. I don''t believe that he can overpower Master in every kind of medicinal pill! This kowtow, he''s prostrating for sure!"


    But along with the passing of time, they became more and more shocked.


    Ye Yuan''s performance was frighteningly stable.


    In the wake of the refining difficulty of the medicinal pills becoming harder and harder, when Xuan Yu reached the third round, he was already unable to refine divine-grade divine pills.


    But Ye Yuan''s were still divine-grade!


    "This �� This doesn''t conform to common sense! The greater the difficulty of the medicinal pill, the harder to refine high-grade medicinal pills. But why can he keep on refining?" Eldest Senior Brother said in shock.


    "Yeah! How in the world did this guy do it? Is he still human?!" Second Senior Brother Ding Xun also exclaimed.


    "It can only be said that his strength towers far above these medicinal pills, so that he can perform so stably! Except, what kind of realm did he reach?" Third Senior Brother said with an emotional sigh.


    Ye Yuan''s pill refinement subverted their understanding of alchemy. It was simply powerful until it made people despair.


    They never dared to imagine that refining divine-grade divine pills were as simple as eating and drink!


    Very soon, the fifth round ended. Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill came out of the furnace.


    Still divine-grade!


    Xuan Yu''s gaze finally became solemn. He finally knew that Ye Yuan did not go all out in the first round at all.


    If he used all his power, refining void spirit divine-grade was absolutely no problem!


    The strength of Dao Realm was too terrifying!


    Boom!


    Everyone was currently immersed in shock when a loud noise suddenly came from outside.


    "Ye Yuan, get out here and die for this old man! Also, that Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, you actually dare to intervene in the affairs of the outer city. Now, the Martial Tower has already sent people over to capture you, hurry up and come out to be executed!"


    Outside, Wu Feng''s yell sounded out.


    A bunch of infatuated people were currently battling in alchemy until they were enthralled but was interrupted by this cry. How annoying!

 1562 Scold You to Your Face All the Same!

    Miracle Hand Parlor''s front door was directly blasted into smithereens.


    Inside the hall was a mess. All kinds of spirit medicines were scattered everywhere.


    The shopkeeper hid at one side and did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    The pressure emitting off of Tang Rui''s body made him shudder.


    "Call Ye Yuan out! Today, this Miracle Hand Parlor is going to disappear from the south city!" Tang Rui said coolly.


    Right at this time, a group of people suddenly poured in. The one in the lead was the Thunderclap Gang''s chief head, Xing Guan.


    When Xing Guan saw Tang Rui, his complexion could not help turning pale. But he still forcefully calmed down and said with clasped hands, "This lord, I wonder what my Miracle Hand Parlor has done wrong, to actually startle the Martial Tower!"


    Tang Rui glanced at him and said disdainfully, "A mere ant, what qualifications do you have to question this divine lord? Scram!"


    A ''scram'' word rushed straight over carrying a surge of world power.


    The Thunderclap Gang''s few brothers could not even block it and were directly sent flying, fresh blood spouting out wildly.


    Xing Guan had already stepped foot into half-step Divine Lord. But in front of Tang Rui, he still could not stand up to a single blow.


    Tang Rui was not Xiao Riyue, that kind of newbie. He was a second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. With a wave of a hand, he could kill Xing Guan and co.


    If not for the Martial Tower''s rules restraining, Xing Guan and the rest would already be corpses now.


    Xing Guan crawled to his feet, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Your Excellency, the Martial Tower has the Martial Tower''s rules too. You want to destroy my Miracle Hand Parlor''s business indiscriminately, where''s the logic?"


    At this time, Wu Feng smiled coldly and said, "You want a reason, is it? Ye Yuan colluded with divine lord powerhouses and disturbed the south city''s order! I wonder if this crime is sufficient or not?"


    Xing Guan''s expression changed and berated furiously, "Wu Feng, you''re set out to condemn someone and have no difficulty finding a pretext! The Miracle Hand Parlor''s Divine Lord Realm powerhouse only came to exchange on Alchemy Dao with Master Ye Yuan. When has he disturbed the south city''s order before?"


    Tang Rui''s eyes narrowed and he said with a cold snort, "This divine lord doing things still need you to tell me right or not? Keep talking rubbish and this divine lord won''t be courteous anymore!"


    Under the powerful oppression, the muscles on Xing Guan''s whole body was quivering.


    However, he still stubbornly did not retreat.


    Xing Guan reeked of an uncultured air and valued loyalty the most.


    Ye Yuan treated Ol'' Second, he was overflowing with gratitude toward Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, Xiao Riyue breaking through last time, if not for Ye Yuan, the Thunderclap Gang would have long been wiped out.


    Hence, when he learned that Wu Feng brought people over, he brought his brothers and rushed over straight away.


    Except, he did not expect that Wu Feng actually invited over a Martial Tower''s powerhouse.


    "Looks like you won''t shed tears without seeing the coffin!"


    Tang Rui gave a cold snort, pointing a finger at Xing Guan.


    The scent of death hit from head-on. Under this finger, Xing Guan did not have any leeway to resist at all and could only shut his eyes and await death.


    Boom!


    Right then, an aura that was not weaker than Tang Rui''s rudely inserted between the two people.


    Tang Rui retreated several steps in a row, his aura in turmoil.


    He did not use his full power just now and suffered a hidden loss all at once.


    He was just about to fly off the handle when he suddenly saw the white-clothed youth behind Xing Guan, and his expression could not help changing.


    "Lu Yi! You �� Why are you here?!" Tang Rui said in surprise.


    Lu Yi was the Pill Tower''s rising star. It was very likely that he would inherit Master Xuan Yu''s mantle in the future.


    In contrast, Tang Rui''s position in the Martial Tower was much worse. He could only climb up the ranks to be Master Deercry''s follower.


    "Tang Rui, how awe-inspiring you all, running to the south city to flaunt your prowess! If you have the capability, go put on airs in the Martial Tower!" Lu Yi said sarcastically.


    Tang Rui did not expect that Lu Yi was so demeaning, mocking him the moment he came up. At once, he snorted coldly too and said, "I''m under Master Deercry''s orders to capture the Divine Lord Realm martial artist who disturbed the south city''s situation! Lu Yi, could it be that you want to oppose me?"


    In a few rounds, Lu YI and the few apprentice brothers already prostrated on all fours in front of Ye Yuan.


    They really gleaned considerable benefits today and were just chatting away gaily in the inner hall, but it was swept clean by Tang Rui''s arrival. How could he not be angry?


    Seeing Tang Rui pull out Deercry to suppress him, he smiled coldly and said, "Deercry? Deercry is a fart! Someone who takes advantage of his seniority! Master Xiao Feng that you''re talking about is my best friend and is currently debating on Dao with me. If you want to capture him, are you going to take me away together too?"


    Tang Rui could not maintain his composure and said angrily, "You �� You''re breaking the imperial city''s rules here! I''ll definitely report to the Martial Tower and Pill Tower when I go back!"


    Lu Yi said disdainfully, "Have it your way! But you have to be prepared to suffer my wrath!"


    Tang Rui''s expression changed and was somewhat in a dilemma for a moment.


    The strength of Xuan Yu''s lineage was too fearsome in the Pill Tower.


    Not only was Xuan Yu''s own strength fearsome, but also the disciples that he groomed, each and every one, all of them were the Pill Tower''s young generation leaders.


    Only the head elder''s lineage could contend with Xuan Yu''s lineage.


    Although Deercry was the head elder''s faction, in front of Xuan Yu, he was not enough to look at at all.


    As for him, Tang Rui, there was no need to even say anymore.


    In the inner city, he was merely a minor character.


    If the heavyweights got into a fight, he might become a sacrifice.


    Wu Feng did not even dare to let out a sound by the side.


    This level of exchange was already not what he could inject.


    He totally thought that with his master coming forward, he could definitely annihilate the Miracle Hand Parlor today.


    Who knew that another great deity popped out here again. His identity and status were even extraordinary. Even Tang Rui did not dare to be overly insolent.


    At this moment, Wu Feng''s heart had collapsed.


    Just what kind of magic did Ye Yuan this punk have? Why would this place continuously have great deities coming and going?


    But just as he lost all hope, a slightly fat old man slowly entered the Miracle Hand Parlor.


    Wu Feng''s eyes shone brightly. He was incomparably agitated.


    "Lu Yi, your guts aren''t small, to actually dare scold this old man behind my back?"


    This old man who suddenly appeared was none other than precisely Deercry himself!


    Tang Rui had just left when Deercry got the news that Lu Yi apprentice brothers four people went out of the inner city.


    And the destination was precisely the Miracle Hand Parlor!


    This new involuntarily made Deercry become solemn.


    With the few of them around, Tang Rui definitely could not gain any advantage. Hence, he decided to come here personally.


    As for Xuan Yu, his whereabouts were naturally not what Deercry could grasp.


    He did not know that Xuan Yu had long been a step ahead of Lu Yi they all, and entered this tiny Miracle Hand Parlor already.


    When Lu Yi saw Deercry, he was slightly stunned too. But very soon, he snorted coldly and said, "Who said that I''m scolding you behind your back? I''ll scold you to your face all the same! A guy who takes advantage of your seniority!"


    Xuan Yu himself was very indifferent toward authority. But his alchemy strength, even the head elder was very apprehensive toward it.


    Hence, in the Pill Tower, the head elder always suppressed and ostracized Xuan Yu''s lineage. Furthermore, Deercry was also a veteran of bureaucratic play and trickery. Lu Yi naturally disliked him.


    Lu Yi as Xuan Yu''s head disciple did not have any favorable impression of Deercry at all.


    Even though Deercry was a high-level deacon, Lu Yi''s status in the Pill Tower did not lose out against Deercry by a large margin.


    Deercry did not expect that Lu Yi was so condescending. His expression became incomparably gloomy, and he said with a cold snort, "Your lineage is indeed a bunch of calves without upbringing! Scandalous! This old man will teach you all how to respect the seniors properly today on behalf of Second Elder!"

 1563 Spar

    The moment Deercry''s aura was released, everyone''s faces changed.


    He was a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord. Wanting to teach a lesson to a few first and second-layered heaven Divine Lord juniors, wasn''t that easily accomplish?


    Except, he did not see fear on Lu Yi''s face. Instead, he saw thick ridicule and disdain.


    "Deacon Deercry is very domineering huh, to actually want to help this old man teach disciples! Except, to do so to this old man''s disciples, it is probably isn''t your turn to come and teach them, right?"


    A group of people came out of the inner hall in a file. The one in the lead was precisely Ye Yuan.


    While Xuan Yu walked at Ye Yuan''s side.


    Regarding Xuan Yu showing up here, Deercry was incomparably shocked.


    Why would the high and lofty Xuan Yu come to an inconspicuous little medicine shop in the outer city?


    But what made him even more shocked was that this group of people was actually headed by a young man.


    Deercry was a veteran too. This detail landed on Deercry''s eyes naturally transmitted a lot of information.


    Seeing this scene, Deercry''s pupils shrunk slightly, incredibly shocked in his heart.


    He could not help sizing Ye Yuan up. What ability did this boy have, to actually be able to make Xuan Yu willingly walk behind as a contrast?


    This small until it could not be smaller little medicine shop seemed to be remarkable!


    After the shock, Deercry recovered his cool very quickly and said in a lighthearted manner, "Turns out that Second Elder is here too. But these few disciples of yours have no regard for their elders, really losing face for our Pill Tower!"


    Xuan Yu''s temperament was good and always held himself aloof from the world. But Deercry''s words still made him rather uncomfortable.


    "No regard for their elders? Huhu, Lu Yi is very respectful towards this seat. Where''s the talk of showing no regard for his elders? Deacon Deercry is managing things a little too broadly, right?" Xuan Yu said coolly.


    Deacon faked a smile and said, "This old man is, at any rate, the Pill Tower''s high-level deacon, and is also considered the same generation as Second Elder. Could it be that your disciples can''t respect me as a teacher? Saying that I''m taking advantage of my seniority in front of everyone''s face like this, if this isn''t showing no regard for their elders, what is it?"


    Xuan Yu could not help choking, uncertain how he should refute.


    In terms of eloquence, he was really not Deercry''s match.


    Their lineage was at a disadvantage in this aspect.


    Seeing that one sentence stumped the other party, Deercry was even more pleased with himself and said with a cold smile, "Second Elder, showing no regard for one''s elders, according to the Pill Tower''s rules, they have to be punished by 100 floggings of a broad paddle! I wonder how you view it?"


    Xuan Yu''s gaze turned intent, finally having a trace of anger.


    This Deercry was overbearing, really a paradigm of taking advantage of his seniority.


    Yet, his words squeezed Xuan Yu until it was enough to choke.


    Xuan Yu also knew that these few disciples of his were very dissatisfied with Deercry. But this kind of temper tended to be easy to suffer losses.


    A hundred paddles were not considered a severe punishment. But if it really hit, that was hitting Xuan Yu''s face!


    Lu Yi also had panic on his own face. Earlier, he showed complete disregard for Deercry by relying on the fact that his master was here.


    But at times, strength could not determine everything.


    The imperial city had its own rules of the game. He seemed �� to have incurred trouble for his own master.


    Actually, it was not once or twice that his apprentice brothers had suffered such a loss too. But they truly could not stand it.


    Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Old thing, you got to have the strength to be people''s elders. Do you have it?"


    Deercry was currently being pleased with himself. When he heard this, his face could not help turning dark and he said in a cold voice, "Where did this punk kid come from, to dare speak to this seat like this? If this seat doesn''t have the strength, could it be that you have it?"


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, "If I didn''t guess wrongly, Huang Qian should have been diagnosed by you, right? You couldn''t even identify his ailment, but I cured him. Could it be that �� I''m not as strong as you?"


    Once these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    "Oh yeah, Huang Haoran personally said at that time that he had once found a Four-star Alchemy God to take a look before. This Four-star Alchemy God was probably Wu Feng''s master, right?"


    "A Four-star Alchemy God actually couldn''t even identify the illness, truly disgraceful!"


    "Tsk tsk, Master Ye''s will grant all requests signboard isn''t hung in vain. At least in this aspect, he''s much stronger than Four-star Alchemy Gods!"


    ...


    Outsiders had yet to react, but Ye Yuan discerned the other party''s flaws at a glance.


    The words when uttered immediately reversed the situation.


    Deercry shot a fierce glare at Wu Feng. Wu Feng''s neck shrunk, knowing that his master was angry.


    This matter, everyone did not associate them together. Now, Ye Yuan saying it out was simply blatant face-smacking!


    When Lu Yi saw this scene, he could not help looking toward Ye Yuan gratefully.


    Ye Yuan''s one sentence resolved their master and disciples'' awkwardness.


    However, Deercry clearly would not submit obediently. He said with a cold snort, "Brat, everyone has their shortcomings and merits. Any alchemist also dare not guarantee that they can cure any illness! Moreover, you are you, Lu Yi is Lu Yi. You''re not a member of the Pill Tower and isn''t bound by this rule. But he is!"


    Deercry''s thoughts were very meticulous. He was not so easy to deal with.


    Otherwise, Xuan Yu would not be at the extent of suffering losses at his hands repeatedly.


    Ye Yuan stealthily substituted the concept and dragged him out, but he came to realize the truth very quickly and plucked Ye Yuan out.


    This way, Ye Yuan became an outsider, what more could he say?


    Deercry also realized that there might be something strange about this Ye Yuan, that was why Xuan Yu''s lineage would gather here.


    Hence, he avoided the sharp edge and bit onto Lu Yi and not let go.


    Lu Yi''s standard, Deercry was all too clear.


    His potential was not bad, but his pill refining strength, at the present, it still did not reach him, this middle-rank Four-star Alchemy God.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly and he said disdainfully, "Is that so? Since you think that you''re his senior, then you should probably be stronger than Lu Yi?"


    Deacon said coolly, "That''s of course! If this seat is not even as good as a junior, how can I be a high-level deacon? Kid, you aren''t �� thinking of making him spar with me, right?"


    "Hiss ��"


    The surroundings drew a cold breath. They were all stunned by Deercry''s identity.


    The Pill Tower''s high-level deacon, this was simply a god-like existence!


    To these outer city martial artists, it was simply lofty and out of reach.


    They also did not expect that Wu Feng''s master''s status was actually so illustrious.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "So what if yes? Not letting you witness the strength of young people, you''ll never know how ignorant you are."


    When Lu Yi heard this, he could not help somewhat losing confidence and could not refrain from saying to Ye Yuan, "Master Ye, I ��"


    Ye Yuan stared at him, his eyes like torches as he questioned, "What? You don''t even have the courage to have a fight with him?"


    Lu Yi''s age was far older than Ye Yuan, but in front of Ye Yuan, he was just like a junior.


    His gaze turned sharp and he said in a solemn voice, "Of course I do!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Then isn''t it settled?! If you can''t even deal with this old fogey, how will you inherit Master Xuan Yu''s mantle in the future? Today, let this old fellow take a look at your strength!"


    The moment Deercry heard, he could not help laughing wildly and said, "What a joke! Brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth, courage has to be established on the basis of strength. Courage without strength, that''s called a moth flying into the fire! Understand?"

 1564 The True Strength of Dao Realm!

    Xuan Yu did not make any sound by the side. He wanted to see what means Ye Yuan had.


    Although he did not like fighting, Deercry was merely a jumping clown in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s suggestion made him look forward to it very much.


    Lu Yi''s strength, he was all too clear. It was still a long way off from Deercry''s.


    Although Deercry''s personality was a little scoundrelly, he also had real skill. Otherwise, it would also be impossible to become the Pill Tower''s high-level deacon.


    Ye Yuan glimpsed at Deercry and said impatiently, "So much rubbish, are you here to squabble? You just say whether you dare or not! If you don''t dare, don''t put on the airs of a senior, who the hell are you?"


    Deercry''s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Compete then, will this old man still be scared of you all, these juniors? But �� what if this old man wins?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Didn''t you come to stand up for your disciple? If Lu Yi loses, I''ll close down the Miracle Hand Parlor and scram out of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City."


    Deercry secretly cursed Ye Yuan for being razor-tongued, each sentence making people as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    His face fell and he said in a cold voice, "That''s what you said! If this old man wins, I still want Lu Yi to kowtow to me and admit his mistake in public!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said coolly, "You choose the medicinal pill, I need two hour''s time! Of course, the medicinal pill that you choose must be within the scope of Lu Yi''s ability!"


    Buzz!


    Ye Yuan''s words made the surroundings explode all at once.


    Even Xuan Yu also revealed an incomparably surprised expression.


    Letting the other party choose the medicinal pill, this was handing the initiative to the other party''s hands.


    This kind of competition, whoever picked the medicinal pill would undoubtedly have the advantage. Because the medicinal pill that each person was good at was different.


    Deercry''s strength was above Lu Yi''s in the first place. Now, even letting the other party pick the medicinal pill, wasn''t this courting death?


    "Is Master Ye crazy? This �� Isn''t this putting the neck against other people''s blade?"


    "I admit that Master Ye is very formidable, but this already isn''t rampant, this is seeking death!"


    "I really don''t know how Master Ye thinks, to actually hand the initiative to the other party to exchange for two hour''s time. What are two hours �� enough for?"


    ...


    Deercry was first stunned, then immediately laughed his head off and said, "Hahaha �� brat, you''re really someone ignorant who''s fearless. Do you really take yourself to be someone notable? Letting this old man choose the medicinal pill, this old man will toy you to death!"


    He turned to look at Lu Yi and said smugly, "Lu brat, I heard that you''re studying the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill recently? Why don''t �� we compete in this?"


    The moment these words came out, Lu Yi''s face became ugly to the extreme, wishing to pounce up and bite Deercry to death with one bite.


    At the same time, he also somewhat blamed Ye Yuan in his heart too.


    This kid really blindly made a decision.


    Now, things were great, there was not even a trace of hope anymore!


    "No way! Deercry, you''re bullying people here!" Ding Xun said furiously.


    Third Senior Brother also said anxiously, "You clearly know that Eldest Senior Brother can''t refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill and still deliberately picked this medicinal pill to compete with him. Simply shameless!"


    The more anxious these few apprentice brothers got, the more pleased with himself he became. He laughed loudly and said, "Heh, it''s this brat who let this old man pick the medicinal pill. Why, now that this old man picked it, you guys aren''t willing again? Could the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill not meet the requirements?"


    Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill was a consumable-type medicinal pill. It could help martial artists increase their ability to comprehend Great Dao for a short time and was extremely popular.


    But the refinement difficulty of this medicinal pill was notoriously great.


    Although it was an initial-rank Four-star divine pill, many middle-rank Four-star Alchemy Gods could not refine it.


    Lu Yi''s talent was pretty good, but the time he spent immersed in Four-star divine pills was not long after all.


    Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, Lu Yi had already researched for a long time, but he did not make much progress all along.


    Up till now, he could not refine it either.


    The difficulty of the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill was also considerable for Deercry.


    But the problem was, he could still refine this medicinal pill.


    On this point, he completely trashed Lu Yi.


    But Ye Yuan brushed it over and said, "No matter, just it then. The spirit medicines, you guys prepare yourselves. I don''t have it here. You guys �� follow me inside."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and entered the inner hall.


    Xuan Yu''s group of people exchanged glances, but they still followed Ye Yuan in.


    "Master Ye, I �� can''t refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill! How to compete still?" The moment he entered the door, Lu Yi said anxiously.


    "Yeah. Master Ye, you''re also too reckless. Even if we really want to compete, how can you take the initiative to give up choosing the medicinal pill?" Ding Xun also said.


    "Alright, haven''t competed and already lost!" Fourth Senior Brother said unhappily.


    Only Ning Siyu''s beautiful eyes swiveled around, seemingly thinking of something, and could not help faintly somewhat look forward to it.


    "Alright, alright, what are each and every one of you doing? Since Master Ye dared to say so, he must have nothing to fear with something to back him up. You guys stop worrying about it. See what he says!" Ning Siyu said.


    Ye Yuan smiled at Xuan Yu and said, "Didn''t you want me to help you teach disciples? You guys will get off cheap together. That old punk, I''m very pissed off looking at him too!"


    Xuan Yu''s eyes lit up and he said, "Two hours'' time, could it be that Master Ye is going to refine the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill?"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Even if I reach Dao Realm, it''s also impossible to refine a Four-star divine pill right now."


    Everyone was disappointed. Xuan Yu said, "Then ��"


    Ye Yuan said, "The Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, I''m unable to refine. But the Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill is nothing difficult."


    Lu Yi''s brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill �� I can refine too! Even if it doesn''t reach Master Ye''s level, it wouldn''t be too poor either. But rank four divine pills are two completely different things from rank three divine pills!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is that so? Do you understand Alchemy Dao like this? Great Dao connects to the heavens, interlinked and connected. Rank four divine pills are much more profound than rank three divine pills, this is true. But the same type of medicinal pill is passed down the same lineage. The Dao contained within them have highly similar aspects. If you think that rank four divine pills are higher level than rank three divine pills and isolate them separately, then you''ve made a grave error!"


    Lu Yi was stunned when he heard, but he knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    But the internal connection between medicinal pills was not so easy to link together.


    Actually, when studying this Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, Xuan Yu said this to him before as well. But he could not do it.


    Everyone had a pondering look. Ye Yuan came before the medicinal cauldron, retrieving a Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill from inside his storage ring, he opened his mouth and said, "There''s only one chance, look closely!"


    Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body suddenly changed, becoming sacred all at once.


    Inside the entire medicine refining room teemed with the aura of Dao.


    But this time, it was goodness knows how many times stronger than when they were refining pills previously!


    Ye Yuan''s entire person seemed to have transformed into a region of chaos, giving people an unreal feeling.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan seemingly incarnated to become the master of creation, becoming incomparably surreal.


    Xuan Yu''s gaze turned intent and he cried out in shock, "This �� This �� Turns out that this is the true strength of the Dao Realm!"

 1565 Never Forget Till Death

    "Hey, two hours are up. Still not coming out �� it will be considered as you all admitting defeat!"


    Although Deercry believed that victory was at hand, he would not give Ye Yuan more time.


    He started clamoring outside before two hours were up.


    He was a sixth level Divine Lord powerhouse. Mustering up divine essence to shout, it could naturally transmit into the inner hall.


    Creak ��


    The door of the inner hall slowly opened. A group of people appeared in everyone''s line of sight once more.


    Deercry''s gaze landed on Lu Yi and could not help being startled in his heart.


    No idea why, he felt that some kind of change took place on Lu Yi.


    Seeing ghosts! Merely two hours'' time from start to finish, could it be that that kid can really defy the heavens? No, wait, this must be an illusion! Deercry secretly said in his heart.


    Actually, not just him, everyone had this peculiar feeling.


    However, they denied their thoughts very quickly.


    Because two hours'' time was totally impossible to change the outcome of this competition.


    Alchemy Dao required the immersion of time. The disparity between Deercry and Lu Yi simply could not be made up for with just two hours.


    If two hours could change the results, then wouldn''t the other alchemists'' year after year of bitter cultivation become a joke?


    "Heh, it''s still not too late to admit defeat now. If you concede right now, kowtow whatever can be brushed off. You all just have to stop meddling in other people''s affairs and hand over that brat will do." Deercry said with a fake smile, but his gaze darted at Ye Yuan.


    Lu Yi pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "If I can''t win you, this old fellow today, wouldn''t you act like a tyrant in front of me every single day in the future? I''m going to let everyone know today that you, this old thing, have no right to posture in front of me!"


    "Yoo, going in for two hours, your mouth became hard when you came out! But talking big got to have the capital too. With just the likes of you, you''re still far from it!" Deercry laughed loudly and said.


    Lu Yi snorted coldly and said, "Enough bullshit, we''ll only know after competing!"


    Deercry smiled and said, "Since you''re impervious to reason, then I''ll let you witness what''s the strength of a senior!"


    The two people did not pick a place either, squaring off inside the hall of this Miracle Hand Parlor.


    Hearing that a Four-star Alchemy God was competing in alchemy at the Miracle Hand Parlor, this news swept throughout the entire south city like the wind.


    Quite a number of alchemists all acted without delay upon hearing it, coming forward to witness the bearing of a Four-star Alchemy God.


    This level of pill refinement was extremely hard to come by for him. Normally, they would not have the chance to see it at all.


    Now, the Miracle Hand Parlor''s front door was directly blasted away. Everyone on the streets could also take in everything at a glance.


    The spirit medicines were already in place, the two people started refining pills.


    The moment it began, Deercry''s veteran and prudent side were displayed in its entirety.


    Facing the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, this level of spirit medicine, he controlled each step very carefully; virtually without oversights.


    The bearing of a master was displayed in its entirety.


    In contrast, Lu Yi''s control in all aspects were clearly not as experienced as Deercry.


    When Wu Feng saw this scene, his heart settled back in place.


    "Heh, Master is indeed worthy of being Master. How can he possibly be what a brat can compare to? Ye Yuan this kid let his imaginations run wild. He thinks that he''s the Medicine Ancestor, casually giving a pointer or two and he can make people advance by leaps and bounds?" Wu Feng said disdainfully.


    Although Tang Rui did not know alchemy, the two people''s level could still be discerned.


    "Huhu, when this competition is over, the face of Second Elder''s lineage will be lost all the until to the outer city. He''ll probably have to tuck his tail between his legs and behave for a very long period of time," Tang Rui said with a smile.


    When Ning Siyu saw the two people''s pill refinement, her face revealed a worried look and she said to Ye Yuan, "Master Ye, Eldest Senior Brother he �� doesn''t seem to be as good as that old fellow!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, it just started! The things that he just learned, he still hasn''t mastered it thoroughly yet, so he''ll appear a little awkward. But he''s already done very well. At least up until now, he meets a certain standard and didn''t show major flaws."


    Talking up to here, he could not help looking at Xuan Yu and said, "Brother Xuan really has good eyesight. Have to admit, your disciples are all promising talents."


    But Xuan Yu smiled bitterly when he heard it and said, "They are all good materials, but sadly, this old man has neglected them these few years! If you were the one to teach them, probably before long, they can all surpass this old man already."


    Xuan Yu was not buttering Ye Yuan up. After witnessing Ye Yuan''s true strength, he finally understood his disparity with Ye Yuan.


    This kind of disparity, he probably could not make up for it all his life.


    The profundities of the Dao Realm could not be described using words at all.


    He examined his heart and felt that he already walked very far along the path of alchemy. It was not to say invincible among those in the same rank, but at least in Four-star Alchemy God Realm this level, those who could surpass him were rarely-seen.


    But he was simply like a pupil in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Four-star Alchemy Gods are indeed all incomparably formidable! This level of pill refining means are simply mind-blowing!"


    "Formidable is formidable, but that young man is clearly much lousier. Old ginger is still hotter than the new!"


    "Heh, how can an initial-rank Four-star Alchemy God possibly be a middle-rank Four-star Alchemy God''s match? No matter how powerful Master Ye is, what can two hours change?"


    "Mn? Something seems to be wrong! You guys, look at that Lu Yi. Some kind of change seems to have happened to him. Seems like �� he brought everything together and mastered it thoroughly."


    ...


    There were quite a few experts and sharp-eyed people present who discovered the change on Lu Yi''s body very quickly.


    The fluster from the very beginning until now was already proceeding steadily, and actually had signs of gradually catching up to Deercry.


    Wu Feng''s standard was very formidable among Three-star Alchemy Gods. This kind of change naturally could not escape his eyes.


    The expression on his face gradually changed from relaxed to solemn.


    Seemingly sensing Wu Feng''s change, Tang Rui asked curiously, "What is it?"


    Wu Feng''s face revealed a suspicious look and he said, "Something''s wrong! It''s impossible! How can such a thing happen? Lu Yi''s speed of improvement is too fast!"


    This was just refining a medicinal pill. In the process of refining a medicinal pill, it was not possible to have such a leap in improvement.


    But now, this kind of impossible thing appeared in front of them.


    Furthermore, Lu Yi''s improvement got faster and faster. In the end, traces of Dao accumulations actually emerged in the medicinal cauldron!


    The exclamations in the crowd became stronger and stronger. The expressions on their faces became unusually fascinating.


    At this time, even a fool could tell that Lu Yi''s pill refinement this time was extraordinary!


    Time slowly trickled by. After five hours, it was only to hear Lu Yi giving out a loud cry, "Condense!"


    All of the Dao accumulations integrated into the medicinal cauldron!


    At this time, Lu Yi felt every pore on his body open up, refreshing to the extreme.


    This feeling of accomplishing it in one go, he had never caught it before.


    But this time, it was really realized!


    Deercry had no distractions in his heart and was still dripping with sweat.


    A hint of disdain flashed across in Lu Yi''s eyes and he came before Ye Yuan, bowed deeply and said, "Lu Yi thanks Master Ye''s grace of guidance very much, never forgetting till death!"

 1566 Turning Stone Into Gold by Touching

    "This scene has such a discordant feeling! A Four-star Alchemy God actually gave such a solemn salute to a Three-star Alchemy God!"


    "A Three-star Alchemy God giving pointers to a Four-star Alchemy God to breakthrough, if not for seeing it with my own eyes, I definitely won''t believe."


    "Just what kind of godly person is Master Ye? Such strength in alchemy is truly too terrifying, right?"


    ...


    A Four-star Alchemy God giving such a solemn salute to a Three-star Alchemy God, this image was too impactful.


    To all of the outer city alchemists, Four-star Alchemy Gods were god-like figures.


    But now, this god-like existence actually paid such solemn respect to a Three-star Alchemy God.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I said it before, I''m annoyed by this old fellow too. If he dares to compete with me, I''ll definitely wreck him to a frazzle."


    Everyone could not help being speechless when they heard it. But nobody doubted the truth of these words.


    Casually giving pointers for two hours and Lu Yi had such tremendous improvement, if he personally took action, what kind of concept was that?


    If competing in rank three divine pills, even if Deercry was more than a major realm higher than Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan could also trash him.


    This point, no one had any objections.


    Within rank three, Ye Yuan was undefeatable!


    Lu Yi smiled and said, "This guy just has a face that''s asking for a beating! However, even though the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill is refined, I �� still don''t have much confidence in winning him."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Relax, this guy''s level is too lousy. He can''t refine a high-quality Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill."


    Level too lousy ��


    Everyone was speechless again.


    The other party was a Pill Tower deacon, his level was �� too lousy?


    Perhaps, this was a heavyweight!


    Another hour passed, Deercry finally successfully refined it.


    He was very satisfied with his performance. The quality of the medicinal pill this time shouldn''t be poor.


    But when he saw the Lu Yi who was taking things easy at one side, his gaze involuntarily turned sharp.


    This punk was done so fast?


    Or was it �� the refinement failed?


    Yes, it must be that the refinement failed!


    Otherwise, how could he possibly be faster than him?


    Thinking up to here, Deercry laughed mockingly and said, "What? Refinement failed? Young man, you still have a future, but you have to be on guard against conceit and rashness. Especially respecting your elders!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces became peculiar.


    Although Lu Yi''s medicinal pill was not out of the furnace yet, they could at least confirm that the medicinal pill was definitely refined.


    Furthermore �� barring no accidents, the quality was not low.


    Lu Yi laughed in spite of himself and said, "Refined it long ago, just waiting for you to open the furnace."


    Lu Yi choked and said in disbelief, "You refined successfully?"


    Lu Yi could not be bothered with him and said coolly, "Enough nonsense, open the furnace!"


    Deercry''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "Open the furnace then, would I be scared of you?"


    Finished talking, he directly uncovered his own medicine cauldron. The Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill flew out.


    Seeing his medicinal pill, Deercry could not help laughing loudly and said, "High-grade! It actually really reached high-grade! Kid, admit defeat! Even if you refined the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill by chance, with your strength, it''s impossible to reach high-grade too!"


    This time, Deercry could be said to have performed beyond his usual standard.


    Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, his normal level was basically all at middle-grade.


    The refining difficulty of this medicinal pill was very high. Forget about middle-rank Four-star Alchemy Gods, even high-rank Four-star Alchemy Gods could not refine such high quality every time as well.


    Seeing that this medicinal pill was high-grade, he was already incomparably certain of his victory.


    Wu Feng had an agitated look too. The Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill''s difficulty, he was naturally aware.


    Being able to refine high-grade could already be said to have locked in the victory.


    Because the Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill was the Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill''s improved version, so everyone was no stranger to this medicinal pill.


    For Deercry to be able to refine high-grade, it was already sufficient to see his skill.


    "Too bad, I even thought that Lu Yi could defy the heavens. I didn''t expect that he actually was defeated."


    "Pill Tower''s high-level deacons indeed aren''t simply boasted out. That''s true ability!"


    "However, Lu Yi''s performance is already very good. His future should be much brighter than Master Deercry."


    ...


    The surrounding alchemists all expressed their regret. Everyone harbored a trace of anticipation toward Lu Yi.


    Everyone did not expect that it was actually this kind of conclusion.


    Not just them, even Lu Yi himself, the expression on his face also became unconfident.


    "Heh heh, what are you wasting time for? Don''t dare to open the furnace? Scared of losing? Brat, seniors are seniors, not what you, this kind of junior, can defy!" Deercry said with a smug look.


    Bang!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan dealt a palm through the air, directly hitting onto Lu Yi''s medicinal cauldron.


    A medicinal pill flew out, attracting everyone''s gazes.


    "Hiss ��"


    "High-grade! It''s actually high-grade too! My God, an initial-rank Four-star Alchemy God actually refined a high-grade Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill too!"


    "Too impressive! Lu Yi is indeed worthy of being a matchless existence among the Pill Tower''s junior generation! This kind of strength, who else is there?"


    "If I were to say, it should be Master Ye who is impressive! Lu Yi originally couldn''t refine this medicinal pill. Master Ye gave him pointers for two hours and he actually refined a high-grade! This �� This is simply turning gold into stone by touching!"


    "That''s right, Master Ye is truly a model for our generation! This level of strength simply takes people''s breath away in wonder!"


    ...


    Cries of exclamations sounded out everywhere. Everyone was stunned by Lu Yi''s Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill.


    Lu Yi himself was also dumbfounded. He really refined a high-grade Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill?


    Deercry was dumbstruck with astonishment too. This brat actually refined a high-grade Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill?


    Even Xuan Yu and the rest were incomparably shocked.


    "Hahaha, Eldest Senior Brother, you''re really too incredible!" Ning Siyu laughed loudly and said.


    Deercry''s face fell and he said, "Being smug for what, still haven''t tested the pill yet! His quality will definitely be better than mine?"


    "You go and test the pills yourself then. Your medicinal pill merely barely managed to reach high-grade. Lu Yi''s medicinal pill already approaches superior-grade. Similarly high-grade, the one who loses is you!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He was very sensitive to the smell of medicinal pills and already determined the strength of the quality.


    Deercry clearly did not believe in heresy. But when he placed the two medicinal pills together, his expression immediately became ugly.


    Indeed as Ye Yuan said, he lost!


    Completely and utterly lost!


    "Hahaha, this is your ability as a senior? Can''t even beat my eldest senior brother, still want to call yourself a senior!" Fourth Senior Brother laughed loudly.


    Ding Xun also laughed and said, "Just the likes of your level, still high-level deacon! I think that you''ve become intoxicated with bureaucratic play for so many years that you''ve already pretty much forgotten your main profession!"


    Xuan Yu also felt very proud and said with a slight smile, "Deercry, what else do you still have to say? This old man''s disciple has already defeated you."


    Deercry''s expression changed again and again. This place, he could not stay for a second anymore.


    He, an exalted Pill Tower''s high-level character, actually could not even beat a junior disciple. This �� was simply unprecedented humiliation!


    Unprecedented shame and humiliation!


    After today, how would he still lift his head in the Pill Tower?


    "You all �� You all don''t get cocky! Today''s matter, we''re not finished!"


    Deercry gave a cold snort, his figure moved, and he directly disappeared.


    Wu Feng and Tang Rui had baffled looks. Defeated �� just like this?

 1567 This Ye Proposes a Toast to You

    "Hahaha! I finally broke through! Half-step Divine Lord! This step has eluded me for how many years! Today, I finally took you down!"


    Inside a hidden chamber, Zhu Yongtian started laughing wildly.


    Secluding for a month, he finally broke through to the half-step Divine Lord Realm!


    This step had troubled him for many years.


    Once he broke through, he would also be an apex existence in the entire outer city.


    "Master Ye''s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled. One medicinal pill let me break through the bottleneck that had plagued me for many years!" Zhu Yongtian said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    A month ago, Ye Yuan came to the Thunderclap Gang''s headquarters and gave the few of them brothers a medicinal pill each.


    It was this medicinal pill that let him break through the bottleneck.


    Toward Ye Yuan, he had the utmost admiration.


    Zhu Yongtian slowly got up and said to himself, "I wonder how those few fellows are? Master Ye taking action, they probably broke through successfully too, right?"


    Coming to the headquarter''s hall, he saw that Boss Xing Guan was already there.


    Seeing Xing Guan, Zhu Yongtian''s eyes lit up and he said in pleasant surprise, "Big Brother, you �� you''re almost breaking through?"


    The aura on Xing Guan currently was very unstable, a feeling of breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly, seemingly going to burst at any time.


    The joy on Xing Guan''s face could not be concealed in the slightest, and he said with a smile, "All thanks to Master Ye''s Five Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill, I finally touched that layer of threshold! When the south city''s matters have been dealt with, I''ll enter terminal seclusion and strive for an early breakthrough!"


    Zhu Yongtian was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations and felicitations to Big Brother! That Xiao Riyue probably never dreamed that he broke through to Divine Lord Realm and did not unify the south city, but we did it!"


    Xing Guan smiled and said, "I also didn''t expect that I really have the chance to step into Divine Lord Realm in this lifetime! All thanks to Master Ye! If not for him, our Thunderclap Gang would likely have long been destroyed!"


    Zhu Yongtian nodded and said, "What we owe Master Ye is really too much!"


    Before long, the third head also came to the hall.


    Xing Guan and Zhu Yongtian''s eyes both lit up and they said with pleasant surprise, "Ol'' Third, you broke through too! Hahaha �� three half-step Divine Lords in one gang, who will still dare to be insolent in front of my Thunderclap Gang in the future in this south city!"


    The third head''s strength was slightly weaker than the second head''s, but he had also long stepped into grand completion Origin Deity.


    Consuming Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill, he also successfully broke through to become a half-step Divine Lord.


    After learning the news that Xing Guan was about to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, Third Head was also extremely excited.


    Before long, Fourth Head, Fifth Head, and the rest all exited seclusion. Each one all broke through without the least bit of surprise.


    Xing Guan said with vicissitudes of emotion, "An alchemist like Master Ye is simply too terrifying! He used a month''s time to create an unshakable force in the south city!"


    When the few people heard, they also had a feeling like a lifetime had passed.


    Ever since encountering Ye Yuan, their Thunderclap Gang underwent earth-shaking changes.


    Recalling back then, when Ye Yuan requested them to change names, they nearly even came to blows.


    Thinking about it, they all had some lingering fear.


    If they were to really fall out with Ye Yuan, the consequences would be very terrifying!


    Xing Guan''s gaze suddenly became sharp and he said in a solemn voice, "The south city has been in chaos for so many years. It''s also time to establish a new order!"


    That very night, blood flowed like a river in the south city.


    The Silverfeather Gang''s chief head, Luo Yu, was personally killed by Xing Guan.


    As for the Sun Moon Gang''s He Xiao, he also died under Zhu Yongtian''s palm, finally avenging the enmity of an arrow.


    The Thunderclap Gang annexed the Sun Moon Gang and Sun Moon Gang, becoming the south city''s number one major power.


    Under the Thunderclap Gang''s persecution, the Dongfang Family and Deyi Hall chased Wu Feng out.


    That very night, Wu Feng died on the streets.


    As a result, the south city formed an arrangement of one dragon and three tigers.


    The Thunderclap Gang ran a monopoly. Immediately after were the three great families.


    ...


    While at this time, Ye Yuan was currently walking on Wu Meng Capital City''s streets calmly and composedly.


    "Really can''t imagine, how did such a low-grade capital city groom a peerless genius like you?!" Ning Siyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a puzzled look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My experiences here weren''t so pleasant. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be this trip either."


    While talking, a group of people came to a luxurious restaurant. It was precisely the Clearwind Inn.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Come on, the dishes in this restaurant are pretty good. Let''s go upstairs and wait for them."


    Entering the Clearwind Inn, the shopkeeper recognized Ye Yuan at a glance.


    He could not help trembling all over, revealing a disbelieving expression.


    "Y-Y-Ye Yuan! Y-Y-You �� actually came back!"


    The bloodbath on the streets back then, Ye Yuan killed five grand completion Heaven Glimpse academy students alone, akin to a killing god. The shopkeeper''s impression was very deep.


    Hence, seeing Ye Yuan at first glance, he recognized him.


    Ye Yuan was not surprised and said with a faint smile, "Yeah, came back."


    The shopkeeper hurriedly pulled him to one side and whispered, "How can you return?! Although so many years have already passed, the wanted order for you has never been revoked! With you returning, isn''t it walking right into a trap?"


    Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised and said with a smile, "I even thought that you''d blow the whistle on me!"


    The shopkeeper laughed and said, "What are you saying?! You were the entire Wu Meng Capital City''s hero back then, defeating several hundred capital cities'' elites in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial, bringing back glory to Wu Meng Capital City. I didn''t expect that City Lord actually treated you like this! Hurry up and go, there are eyes and ears everywhere in the Clearwind Inn, how can you show up here?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s okay, shopkeeper, bring up fine wine and good dishes for me. Revisiting an old place, this young master''s mood is pretty good, haha!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan went straight up to the second floor, leaving behind a baffled looking shopkeeper.


    Even if 20 years had passed, Ye Yuan was still a legend of Wu Meng Capital City.


    Because of the things that he did, no one could match it in the history of Wu Meng Capital City.


    The shopkeeper still served Ye Yuan and the rest wine and food. Ye Yuan raised his cup and said with Little Fatty with a smile, "Revisiting an old place, what emotions do you feel?"


    Little Fatty shook his head and said, "I''ve long become indifferent! Right now, I only want to obtain powerful strength and tell those people who looked down on me before that I''m living very well!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You see, you see, there you go again. Oh, you, said that you''re indifferent, but actually, you''re still living in the shadow of the past. That joker little fatty back then is already gone?"


    Little Fatty said indifferently, "People need to grow up!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Mental demon not disappearing, whence the grow up? Only by going back to yourself, can it be considered truly walking out."


    The group of people was chatting away when teams of city guards already surrounded the Clearwind Inn like an iron bucket.


    The originally noisy street became very quiet.


    An icy-cold aura crept out within the Clearwind Inn.


    "Ye Yuan, come out and prepare to die!" an icy-cold voice sounded out.


    The shopkeeper ran up hastily, his head covered in cold sweat as he said to Ye Yuan, "You see, I asked you to be more careful, right?! Commander Zhao has already brought the city guards and surrounded the Clearwind Inn like an iron bucket! Now, you''re hard-pressed to escape even if you grow wings!"


    Ye Yuan smiled. He gestured toward the shopkeeper to sit on a chair there, and he said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, you''re pretty good! Come, this Ye will propose a toast to you, cheers!"

 1568 Battling Half-Step Divine Lord

    "Goodness me, the fire is already catching the eyebrows, but you''re still in the mood to drink alcohol?" the shopkeeper said urgently.


    Ye Yuan smiled and patted his shoulders as he said, "Already surrounded, also can''t run out now. We have to enjoy life to the fullest and not let the golden wine goblet reflect the moonlight alone. Come, cheers!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan clinked glasses with the shopkeeper and downed it in one go.


    How could the shopkeeper be in the mood to drink wine? His entire person was flustered right now.


    He hoped that Ye Yuan could run away, but he was more afraid at this time due to the army.


    The army outside, just the aura could make people have a breakdown.


    The hand he held the wine cup trembled incessantly, resulting in the wine spilling out a lot. Clearly, he was terrified to the extreme.


    The moment the army moved, the entire Clearwind Inn would turn to ashes.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, your Clearwind Inn will keep on operating in Wu Meng Capital City. Don''t need to worry."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure flashed, directly jumping out from the window.


    On the streets, soldiers dressed in armor looked powerful in neat ranks, gazes sharp, giving people a strong visual impact.


    These soldiers were all the City Lord Manor''s elites, selected soldiers and powerful generals under Zhao Yi.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, countless spears stabbed towards Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan just shook slightly and the long spears scattered away one after another, leaving behind a large stretch of open space.


    Even in the fiend race army, Ye Yuan could come and go as he pleased. What did mere city guards count as?


    If Ye Yuan wanted to go on a killing spree, not a single person here could escape.


    However, his goal was Zhao Yi and Qin Zhaoyun, and not these ordinary soldiers.


    When Zhao Yi saw Ye Yuan, his pupils involuntarily constricted and he cried out in shock, "You �� You actually broke through to the middle-stage Origin Deity Realm!"


    Ye Yuan had several billion on him, his speed when cultivating was naturally extremely fast.


    Just not long ago, he already broke through to the middle-stage Origin Deity Realm.


    Recalling when Ye Yuan left back then, he had merely just broken through to the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm. Less than 20 years had passed, he actually directly improved by a major realm!


    This cultivation speed was simply terrifying to the ear.


    Furthermore, Zhao Yi knew that Ye Yuan was not an ordinary Origin Deity Realm martial artist. He could jump realms to fight!


    Back then, when he just entered the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse Realm, bringing along Gui Yun, he cut down five academy elite disciples.


    Among them even included three grand completion Heaven Glimpse martial artists!


    This kind of battle achievement was simply perverse and crazy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Commander Zhao, how have you been? This welcome ceremony is rather special!"


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, the air of a sovereign spreading out.


    His aura alone actually overshadowed everyone.


    Zhao Yi could not help suffocating. Ye Yuan was no longer that academy disciple who could be kneaded as they pleased anymore!


    Zhao Yi''s eyes narrowed and he said with a cold snort, "Looks like these few years, you really grew quite a bit. But you should know, you''re nothing in front of City Lord His Excellency!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "And then?"


    Zhao Yi''s face turned slightly dark and he said, "Surrender without resistance, you have no chance!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "With just the likes of you?"


    Zhao Yi said, "Looks like you''re very confident. I want to weigh just how powerful your strength is right now! All move aside for me!"


    Under Zhao Yi''s word of command, those soldiers hurriedly backed away.


    This level of battle was already not what they could take part in.


    But they did not think that Lord Commander would lose to a brat still wet behind his ears.


    A half-step Divine Lord would lose to a middle-stage Origin Deity?


    Got to be joking!


    "Is there a mistake? This Ye Yuan is also too freakish, right? It has only been 20 years, he actually directly improved by a major realm!"


    "But even so, there''s also no way that he can be Commander Zhao''s match, right? After all, Commander Zhao is a half-step Divine Lord."


    "Although Ye Yuan could jump realms and battle when at Heaven Glimpse Realm, half-step Divine Lord already has a portion of a Divine Lord powerhouse''s strength. It''s not what Ye Yuan can deal with at all!"


    "Sigh, Ye Yuan still has the temperament of a young man, he''s too anxious in taking revenge. With his cultivation speed, in probably less than 100 years, he can step into Divine Lord Realm. At that time, returning to take revenge again will be practically certain."


    ...


    On the street far away, seeing these two people confronting each other with swords drawn, they all started to lament one after another.


    A genius like Ye Yuan was hard to come by once in 100 thousand years.


    They did not expect that this time, he actually came to walk right into the trap.


    Zhao Yi raised his long spear, the aura of a half-step Divine Lord displayed in its entirety.


    Such a powerful aura was simply a god-like existence in Wu Meng Capital City, this kind of place.


    Far away, everyone all marveled in wonder.


    Half-step Divine Lord powerhouses taking action was extremely rare.


    But the Ye Yuan opposite him still had a calm and collected appearance and was completely indifferent to this powerful oppressive force.


    Zhao Yi was secretly alarmed in his heart. He actually could not find a dead angle of attack from Ye Yuan''s body!


    As expected, this kid''s strength already can''t be mentioned in the same breath as before! This battle, absolutely cannot underestimate the enemy! Zhao Yi thought in his heart.


    Reaching his realm, the perception toward functional activities of vital energy was very sensitive.


    Although Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum was much weaker than him, no idea why, Ye Yuan gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    This kind of feeling was very bizarre.


    "Blazing Sun Heartseizing Spear!"


    Finally, Zhao Yi could not resist, a spear suddenly attacked.


    He knew that this first move, he already lost!


    The moment this spear attacked, he totally did not have the confidence of certainty in the past.


    Because he completely could not find where Ye Yuan''s weakness was at!


    The mighty power of laws ruptured, virtually shattering the space.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved!


    Zhao Yi''s gaze turned intent. Ye Yuan actually became blurry in his eyes.


    Was this �� a misconception?


    Hang on!


    How could he, a half-step Divine Lord powerhouse, possibly produce this kind of misconception?


    The next instant, alarm bells sounded out for Zhao Yi!


    A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart. A sword seemingly shuttled through the void, passing through his power of laws, arrived in front of his face!


    Zhao Yu was greatly shocked in his heart. No time to think, he immediately raised his spear.


    Clank!


    The two people separated upon contact.


    Zhao Yi looked at the Ye Yuan not far away, there was an unreal feeling.


    "You �� You actually comprehended spatial laws!"


    The shock in Zhao Yi''s heart could not be any greater. That blow just now was absolutely spatial laws!


    He broke through to half-step Divine Lord. Although he did not comprehend spatial laws, he could already preliminarily utilize basic spatial laws.


    That sword earlier was absolutely spatial laws integrated into Sword Dao laws!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is the strength of half-step Divine Lord? Merely thus! Come, fight again!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan''s figure became indeterminate and fleeting.


    Misty Sword Art!


    Zhao Yi was startled inwardly and hurriedly raised his spear to meet the enemy.


    Facing the Ye Yuan who comprehended spatial laws, he did not dare to slight him in the least bit.


    A moment of carelessness and that sword of Ye Yuan''s which was elusive as a ghost would claim his life.


    At this time, another two figures were rushing over.


    "Hahaha, Zhao Yi, you''re also too useless! Can''t even take care of a middle-stage Origin Deity!" When Qin Zhaoyun saw that Zhao Yi could not take him down after a long fight, he laughed loudly.

 1569 Utter Loss of Face

    Although Qin Zhaoyun was mocking Zhao Yi, he was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    First, he was shocked at the speed of Ye Yuan''s cultivation. The second was shocked that Ye Yuan could actually have a fierce battle with Zhao Yi until like this at middle-stage Origin Deity.


    "Enough crap! This kid comprehended spatial laws. It''s very hard to tangle with! Hurry over and help!" Zhao Yi shouted coldly.


    Qin Zhaoyun and Wen Yiyang trembled all over and exchanged a glance, their eyes full of disbelief.


    Spatial laws were a legendary power of law!


    How in the world did this kid accomplish it?


    "Brat, don''t be rampant! You cast yourself into the net today and can''t escape even if you grow wings!"


    Qin Zhaoyun shouted and also joined in the battle.


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Wen Yiyang''s eyes, but he finally still decided to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    Terrifying power of laws suffused everywhere, turning the surrounding houses into dust.


    Three mighty half-step divine lords, how astonishing was the destructive power?


    Ye Yuan appeared too delicate to stand up to a gust of breeze under the besiegement of three great half-step Divine Lords.


    But he just stood firm and did not fall!


    The three people exhausted all of their means and could not capture a corner of Ye Yuan''s sleeves.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan''s casual sword forced them into a fluster.


    Both sides actually could not do anything to the other!


    But this scene made everyone dumbfounded with shock.


    How powerful was half-step Divine Lord? Three people joining hands actually could not deal with a middle-stage Origin Deity.


    Ye Yuan was still as freakish as before!


    "This �� No wonder he dared to swagger his way back! Ye Yuan''s strength is really too fearsome!"


    "Spatial laws are a supreme law. Even Divine Lord powerhouses are unable to easily comprehend it. He''s only Origin Deity Realm and actually comprehended it already!"


    "In a short 20 year''s time, Ye Yuan''s strength actually already rivals half-step Divine Lord. Simply too inconceivable."


    "If he didn''t leave, our Wu Meng Capital City would have utterly risen! This glory belongs to Wu Meng Capital City!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan came and went like a shadow, moving between the three people and did not have the slightest hint of being suppressed.


    Ning Siyu watched this great battle in the Clearwind Inn and said in shock, "Turns out that Master Ye''s Martial Dao strength is actually so formidable! No wonder I actually can''t even last one move under his hands! I really don''t know how he cultivates. He''s also not much older than I am, why is he so strong?"


    Little Fatty said, "Ye Yuan this person can''t be gauged with common sense at all. Any genius will be eclipsed when placed in front of him."


    Ning Siyu did not refute this. Regarding this claim, she did not have any objections.


    Even her own master had to call Master Ye when he saw Ye Yuan, his attitude could be imagined.


    Saying these words could scare people all over the city!


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly moved, retreating out of the three people''s encirclement.


    That feeling was very relaxed and lighthearted.


    Three mighty half-step divine lords could not even accomplish trapping him!


    The three people looked at Ye Yuan, incomparably apprehensive.


    "The main guy has come, not playing with you all anymore. But �� Qin Zhaoyun''s life, I''ll accept it today," Ye Yuan said coolly, like talking about a trivial matter.


    An aura of a sovereign descending upon the world fell from the sky. Qin Xiao stood in the air, stepping out from the void.


    He sized Ye Yuan up with a playful look, as if very intrigued.


    When Qin Zhaoyun saw Qin Xiao appear, his heart also settled back in place and he said with a cold smile, "Brat, you got it backward! Today, no one can save you!"


    Qin Xiao looked at Ye Yuan and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "I really don''t know where your courage came from, to actually dare return to Wu Meng Capital City! I really want to take a look at your trump card."


    Facing Qin Xiao, Ye Yuan had a calm look.


    Back then, Qin Xiao was Wu Meng Capital City''s only Divine Lord Realm existence.


    But now, Ye Yuan had even witnessed before the ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord Xuan Yu. A puny little Qin Xiao, he naturally did not regard him with importance.


    Ye Yuan put away the long sword and stood with his hands behind his back as he said coolly, "Relax, you''ll be able to see it right away."


    With Qin Xiao''s strength, how could he be frightened by Ye Yuan?


    He said with a faint smile, "No matter what ace in the hold you have, in front of a Divine Lord powerhouse, they are all trash!"


    While talking, Qin Xiao''s aura suddenly rose. A peerlessly powerful pressure instantly enveloped several streets, making everyone feel incomparably suppressed.


    "Second-layered heaven Divine Lord!" Wen Yiyang''s face changed and he exclaimed.


    Qin Zhaoyun''s face revealed a look of wild ecstasy as he said, "Hahaha, congratulations to City Lord Your Excellency for breaking through!"


    The more powerful Qin Xiao''s strength was, the more it was massive good news for his Qin Family.


    Therefore, Qin Zhaoyun was virtually excited until he was about to jump up.


    But when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he smiled instead and said, "Are you demonstrating your martial might to me? Would I not know that your breakthrough was still because of the rank four divine pill I helped you win?"


    Only then did everyone abruptly come to realize the truth, recalling the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial back then.


    Several hundred capital cities'' geniuses all gathered together. Only the one who obtained first place could get this rank four divine pill. It could be seen that it would be an ordinary item.


    Qin Xiao breaking through because of it was something logical.


    Ye Yuan''s words made the faces of the civilians in the city become strange.


    But they did not dare to speak out. The divine sense of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse was too keen, they did not dare to criticize City Lord His Excellency.


    But in their hearts, they all gave rise to contemptuous emotions.


    Originally, with Wu Meng Capital City''s strength, it was impossible to win the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial''s first place.


    However, Ye Yuan helped him to do it.


    It was because of Ye Yuan that he could break through to become a second-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    Now, this scene, what was it if not a classic returning kindness with ingratitude?


    Qin Xiao''s face turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, "Medicinal pills are merely external objects. Wanting to break through, one still has to rely on one''s own talent! A mere medicinal pill is but adding flowers to embroidery!"


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Is that so? Sovereign Advent Pill can increase the chances of initial-stage Divine Lord Realm martial artists breaking through. The one I brought back was a high-grade Sovereign Advent Pill. It could at least increase the chances of breakthrough by more than 30%. Your luck was good and broke through successfully. Without the Sovereign Advent Pill, can you break through?"


    Ye Yuan''s one sentence made everyone cry out in shock.


    A medicinal pill capable of helping a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse breakthrough was naturally no ordinary medicinal pill.


    By comparison, this kind of medicinal pill was the most expensive kind among the same rank medicinal pills.


    Rank four divine pills, the value was easily calculated with more than 100 million divine essence stones.


    Most likely, even if Qin Xiao took out all of his net worth, he could not buy it either.


    Qin Xiao did not expect that Ye Yuan actually recognized this rank four divine pill.


    Saying it out in front of everybody at this time, it really swept away all of his face.


    He gave a cold snort, turning angry from embarrassment and said, "No matter how razor-tongued you are, you can''t escape death today too! I want to see just what your trump card is!"


    Finished talking, Qin Xiao pointed at the void. A strong world power tore through the void, shooting straight for Ye Yuan.


    Under a finger point, the wind and clouds changed colors!


    However, Ye Yuan still looked at Qin Xiao with a smile that was not a smile, seemingly having no intention of avoiding at all.


    Right at this time, the void trembled. A figure came into being and blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    Only to see him flick his sleeves grandly. Likewise, a surge of world power spread out.


    This force was actually even more terrifying than Qin Xiao''s!


    Qin Xiao''s finger was annihilated casually just like that.

 1570 Elder Ye

    "P-Protector Lin Dong!"


    This powerhouse who suddenly appeared made Qin Xiao shudder all over.


    Qin Xiao recognized that this person was really the Martial Tower''s high-level protector, Lin Dong.


    In the Martial Tower, only those who reached third-layered heaven Divine Lord had the qualifications to be called high-level protector.


    Why would such an existence help Ye Yuan?


    But in the next moment, something that made him even more dumbstruck with amazement occurred.


    Lin Dong bowed and gave a salute to Ye Yuan, saying respectfully, "Elder Ye, this subordinate was late in rescuing you and let you get frightened. Elder Ye, please punish."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Protector Lin doesn''t have to be like this. You came just in time. How are the things that I instructed you?"


    Lin Dong said, "Already done."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "It''s been hard on Protector Lin."


    "E-Elder Ye?"


    Hearing the two people''s conversation, Qin Xiao''s brain somewhat short-circuited, somewhat unable to recover to his senses for a moment.


    Elder Ye?


    What Elder Ye?


    Also, Protector Lin was a third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse, to actually respectfully address Ye Yuan as Elder.


    This �� What in the world happened?


    "Hey, what in the world happened? That''s a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, right? Why does he seem very respectful in front of Ye Yuan?"


    "Elder Ye? Where is Ye Yuan an elder?"


    "Can''t figure it out, but it seems like �� Ye Yuan''s current identity is extraordinary!"


    ...


    The civilians in the city were all in a state of disbelief, speculating about Ye Yuan''s identity.


    However, they were too far away from the imperial city, and they totally did not know what Ye Yuan''s so-called elder signified.


    They only knew that Ye Yuan returning this time seemed to be incredibly awesome!


    To be able to make a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse even stronger than their city lord be so respectful, this was not what the average person could accomplish!


    But they did not understand that Qin Xiao was racking his brain in extreme terror.


    Protector Lin Dong was the Martial Tower''s protector. The elder he called, apart from the Martial Tower''s elder, who else could there be?


    Ye Yuan was the Martial Tower''s elder?


    Qin Xiao felt somewhat flustered. An Origin Deity Realm becoming the Martial Tower''s elder, was this a joke?


    However, it was not funny at all.


    Lin Dong''s attitude toward Ye Yuan was already sufficient to explain everything.


    Even if it was putting on an act for him to see, how could a Martial Tower''s protector be someone that Ye Yuan could invite.


    Damn it, who can tell me what the hell happened?!


    Qin Xiao started shouting frantically in his heart. The scene that happened before his eyes was too unreal.


    "Qin Xiao, you dared to offend the newly-appointed Pill Tower''s elder? Why haven''t you knelt down to apologize for your offense?!" Lin Dong''s voice was akin to a great bell, shattering the last trace of fluke in Qin Xiao''s heart to smithereens.


    A hint of panic flashed across in Qin Xiao''s eyes and he said in disbelief, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He �� He, an Origin Deity Realm brat, how can he possibly become the Pill Tower''s elder? P-Protector Lin, this �� this joke is too much!"


    Lin Dong''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold shout, "Insolent thing! You dare to question the Pill Tower''s decision?"


    Qin Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I-I �� No, but he �� but he �� is just Origin Deity Realm!"


    Lin Dong snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Elder Ye''s Alchemy Dao, you''re unable to imagine it at all! Although he''s just in the Origin Deity Realm, his Alchemy Dao strength, even Second Elder expresses endless admiration!"


    "S-Second Elder?"


    At this time, Qin Xiao''s eyes were full of fear and trepidation. The boundless enthusiasm previously, not a trace of a shadow could be seen at this time.


    His legs turned soft and he nearly lost his footing.


    Pill Tower''s second elder, that was a god-like existence.


    Even the second elder admired endlessly?


    This �� What kind of concept was this?


    Qin Xiao was unable to imagine it at all!


    Ye Yuan slowly took out a token. The token was of purple-gold color. It was forged from purple-gold meteoric iron.


    The token exuded a terrifying aura. It was actually a divine lord mystic treasure!


    Thud!


    Qin Xiao''s legs turned soft and he directly knelt down, his face full of shock and despair.


    "P-Purple Gold Mystic Token!" Qin Xiao muttered under his breath.


    Purple Gold Mystic Token was the symbol of the identity of the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s elders. It was a low-level divine lord mystic treasure in itself and absolutely could not be faked.


    With Ye Yuan flashing out the Purple Gold Mystic Token, the identity of an elder was already confirmed.


    Qin Xiao''s head was a mess, feeling like the sky had fallen down.


    What did he do?


    Became mortal enemies with a Pill Tower''s elder?


    One should not look at how he was a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse. In reality, he was not even a dog in front of the Pill Tower''s and Martial Tower''s elders!


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, if there weren''t a thousand, there were at least 800.


    But the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s elders did not surpass 20 when added up!


    This was not on the same level at all!


    For a Pill Tower elder to want to kill him, it was as simple as crushing an ant.


    Qin Xiao completely could not understand, only 20 years had passed, how did Ye Yuan suddenly transform into a Pill Tower''s elder?


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s affairs merely happened in the recent few months.


    When one was far away from authority, the powers that be would not intervene. Qin Xiao did not know the imperial city''s changes at all.


    Even if he knew, he also would not associate this Ye Yuan in front of him with his mortal enemy Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan revealing his identity was undoubtedly a bolt out of the blue to Qin Xiao.


    To the Qin Family, it was equivalent to sounding the funeral bell.


    Drip �� Drip ��


    A smell of urine spread out, drawing a series of sidelong glances.


    Qin Xiao could not bear it. Qin Zhaoyun was even more deplorable than him, and he was actually frightened until he peed his pants in front of everyone.


    Clearly, he also knew what Pill Tower elder meant.


    In front of the Pill Tower''s elder, his Qin Family was like an ant.


    Seeing Qin Xiao''s appearance, Qin Zhaoyun knew that the Qin Family was finished!


    Lin Dong''s brows furrowed, casting a disdainful look at Qin Zhaoyun.


    This guy was actually so disgraceful.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Xiao and said coolly, "Back then, you told me that you''re the strong and you''re in charge of a capital city. If you wanted me to repent, I''ll have to repent! This sentence really inspired me to continuously become strong. Quite unfortunately for you, I''ve accomplished it."


    Qin Xiao opened his mouth, but could not say anything.


    In his heart, it was full of bitterness.


    This sentence coming out of Ye Yuan''s mouth right now was really ironic!


    20 years ago, Ye Yuan was merely an ant-like existence in his eyes.


    He did not need a reason to deal with Ye Yuan at all, crushing him domineeringly.


    It was just that he never thought that Ye Yuan actually refused to give in to be disciplined.


    Let alone did he think that 20 years passed, Ye Yuan already became an existence that made him look up to.


    The two people''s status underwent a resplendent grand reversal.


    "I �� I''m unresigned! E-Even if you''re the Pill Tower''s elder, you �� you also can''t decide my life and death at will! At least, I''m a protector of the Martial Tower too!" Qin Xiao harbored the last trace of a fluke and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with pity and said coolly, "Why do you think I appeared in the capital city in an ostentatious manner? Qin Xiao, for this young master to sentence you, I naturally won''t give you any chance to get away. Protector Lin, say out your gains these few days for him to hear one by one."


    "Yes!"


    Lin Dong answered respectfully and started announcing Qin Xiao counts of charges for so many years one by one.


    Qin Xiao did not even have the last trace of hope anymore when it landed in his ears.


    Ye Yuan was �� cutting the ground from under his feet, not even leaving him the last trace of a way out!

 1571 Changing Heavens

    Lin Dong carefully said out loud Qin Xiao''s crimes, but he was secretly astonished in his heart.


    A month ago, Ye Yuan sent him to Wu Meng Capital City, making him investigate Qin Xiao.


    The direction of the investigation was also provided by Ye Yuan.


    There was nothing when not investigating, but the moment there was an investigation, he found many problems.


    Lin Dong was not surprised because he could find problems, but he was marveled because of Ye Yuan''s meticulousness when doing things.


    There was nothing when not taking action, the moment he made a move, he did not leave his opponent any leeway at all.


    This newly-appointed elder had a maturity and decisiveness that was not commensurate with his age.


    If one underestimated him because of his age, they would suffer a big loss!


    Lin Dong was very surprised in his heart, this Elder Ye was simply a freak.


    Martial Dao and Alchemy Dao, his strength was extremely strong, and he also had a level-headed character. There was simply no chink to exploit!


    For him to be able to obtain the Pill Tower''s recognition and become an elder, it was absolutely no accident.


    Right now, the conflict between Head Elder and Second Elder two camps was intensifying with each day. Perhaps the appearance of this new elder would be a variable in the struggle between the two!


    "Qin Xiao, what else do you have to say?" Lin Dong said coldly.


    "I �� I ��"


    Qin Xiao was already battered out of his senses. He knew that he was finished.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Looks like City Lord Qin doesn''t have any objections. Protector Lin, cripple his cultivation first and detain him inside the City Lord Manor''s dungeon. Pick a date to escort him to the imperial city to await punishment. Zhao Yi is similarly crippled of his cultivation and thrown into the dungeon. Wen Yiyang was accessory to a tyrant''s crimes. The death penalty can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment. He is to be stripped of his academy head position and Thundercry will assume the post. As for Qin Zhaoyun �� immediately execute him on the spot!"


    Talking to the back, Ye Yuan''s killing intent gradually thickened.


    Everyone on the street was silent like cicadas in winter, being stunned by Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum.


    They all knew that the Qin Family that had commanded Wu Meng Capital City for over 100 thousand years collapsed just like this!


    This great reversal today was seriously too exciting.


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, Qin Zhaoyun''s figure moved rapidly, speeding away into the horizon.


    Lin Dong laughed coldly and casually pointed a finger out.


    Boom!


    Qin Zhaoyun had not flown out far and was annihilated until not even residue remained.


    With Qin Zhaoyun''s strength, how could he possibly escape from under Lin Dong''s hands?


    Wen Yiyang''s face revealed a bitter smile.


    As for Qin Xiao and Zhao Yi, their faces revealed a look of despair.


    But, they did not dare to resist at all.


    Lin Dong was too strong!


    Even Qin Xiao was completely lacking in front of Lin Dong.


    "Tsk tsk, really didn''t expect that the City Lord and Qin Family collapsed just like this."


    "That serves them right! These few years, the Qin Family acted like a tyrant in Wu Meng Capital City, really had enough of it!"


    "Ye Yuan is really too incredible. In just 20 years'' time, he actually transformed and became some Pill Tower elder. Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns, the 30 years wasn''t up yet!"


    "Qin Xiao repaid kindness with ingratitude back then. He probably never thought that there would still be this day, right?"


    ...


    Amidst a series of exclamations, this war that lasted for 20 years finally came to an end.


    Finally, it concluded with Ye Yuan''s crushing, making everyone''s jaws drop.


    Everyone did not think that ye yuan''s return was actually so domineering!


    ...


    Inside the City Lord Manor, Thundercry prostrated on the ground. Ye Yuan hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, "Teacher Thundercry doesn''t need to be overly courteous. He who teaches me for a day is my father for life. This Wu Meng Academy will be entrusted to you in the future!"


    Thundercry sweated heavily and said, "Ye �� Elder Ye."


    "Teacher Thundercry, there is no need to be awkward. Just call me Ye Yuan will do," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Thundercry nodded his head and said, "Elder Ye, this Thundercry can''t shoulder such heavy responsibilities!"


    Clearly, between Thundercry and Ye Yuan was no longer the teacher-student relationship back then long ago.


    Even the city lord was taken down casually, Thundercry naturally knew the disparity between him and Ye Yuan presently. How could he dare to call Ye Yuan''s name directly?


    Furthermore, Lin Dong was standing beside Ye Yuan. That was a third-layered heaven Divine Lord existence!


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not force it either and said, "Teacher Thundercry''s character is upright and outspoken, magnanimous and just, the best choice for the academy head. Don''t turn it down anymore. I know what you''re worried about. Take this medicinal pill. Before long, Wu Meng Academy will naturally have an additional half-step Divine Lord powerhouse appear."


    Thundercry''s whole body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    Half-step Divine Lord!


    How many Origin Deity Realm powerhouses wanted to reach this realm? But it was too difficult.


    Something as massive as Wu Meng Capital City, there were only four half-step Divine Lord powerhouses in the past too.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually promised him the realm of half-step Divine Lord!


    The shock in Thundercry''s heart could not be any greater. Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao strength already reached such an outrageous level?


    No wonder, no wonder he could become the Pill Tower''s elder!


    Even Four-star Alchemy Gods did not dare to promise half-step Divine Lord either, right?


    "This �� Then this Thundercry will accept deferentially than to decline courteously!" Thundercry bowed and saluted as he said.


    Right then, Qin Shao requested an audience.


    The moment he came in, he gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan and said, "Elder Ye, I ��"


    "You want to plead for the Qin Family?" Ye Yuan said with scorching eyes.


    Facing Ye Yuan''s intent stare, Qin Shao felt like a mountain crushed over, making him incomparably shocked inwardly.


    His cultivation speed was already very fast. In roughly 20 years'' time, he already broke through to middle-stage Heaven Glimpse.


    But Ye Yuan broke through a major realm in 20 years!


    Furthermore, the news of Ye Yuan challenging three great half-step divine lords alone was already not considered some secret in Wu Meng Capital City.


    He knew that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan would become big, but did not expect that it was actually huge to such an extent.


    Genius?


    Qin Shao felt that using this term to describe himself was simply an insult to this word.


    However, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Ye, please raise your hand high in mercy!"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "According to what I know, the Qin Family doesn''t seem to treat you very well, right?"


    Qin Family said, "No matter what, I''m a member of the Qin Family. Without the Qin Family, there wouldn''t be today''s Qin Family!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If �� I say no?"


    Qin Shao''s gaze revealed a trace of ferociousness as he said, "If Qin Shao can leave behind a wretched body, I''ll definitely kill Elder Ye in this lifetime!"


    "Insolence!"


    Lin Dong''s gaze turned dark, a terrifying aura released.


    Qin Shao''s entire body trembled, instantly feeling like the sky was falling down.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand at Lin Dong, Lin Dong''s aura disappeared. Qin Shao retreated several steps in a row and plopped down onto the ground, gasping heavily for air.


    The aura of a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse was too terrifying!


    But Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Qin Shao, although you were born in the Qin Family, you''re different from the Qin Family''s people! On the account of your face, I''ll let the Qin Family go."


    Qin Shao''s pupils constricted, revealing a look of disbelief.


    He never harbored any hope coming.


    In the eyes of the present Ye Yuan, he was just an insignificant minor character. How could Ye Yuan possibly change his enmity towards the Qin Family because of him?


    But not coming, he could not cross this hurdle in this heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really agreed!


    "However ��" Ye Yuan''s face suddenly fell and he said, "Qin Tiannan, as well as the Qin Family''s few elders who are steeped in crimes, must be executed!"


    Qin Shao drew a deep breath, gave a bow to Ye Yuan, and said, "Qin Shao thanks Elder Ye!"

 1572 Returning Home

    Xie Zhaoyun who used to be proud of the success he attained in the past seemed very cautious in front of Xie Jingyi now.


    He was afraid!


    He was afraid of Elder Ye squaring accounts after the autumn harvest and making things difficult for the Xie Family.


    With Ye Yuan''s present status, wanting to eradicate the Xie Family was simply as easy as turning over a hand.


    Didn''t they see that the powerful Qin Family turned to dust with a snap of a finger?


    Even the second-layered heaven Divine Lord clueless already became a cripple too. Most likely, his life could not be preserved.


    That was a second-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    The Xie Family was afraid of offending the Qin Family back then and threw a rock down the well, directly striking Xie Jingyi''s name off the Xie Family''s register.


    This caused Xie Zhaoyun to be even more uneasy right now.


    Although he had little contact with Ye Yuan, it was clearly not very pleasant.


    He never dreamed that this little fatty in front of him would actually have a day where he rolled over.


    Back then, Xie Jingyi''s divine sea was destroyed. He had once inspected it, there was no possibility of recovery at all.


    Who could have guessed that Elder Ye actually brought Xie Jingyi back to life miraculously?


    It was no wonder that Elder Ye could become the Pill Tower''s elder too, this means was simply fantastical.


    "Oh, Little Yi, Big Brother was extremely happy to hear that you came back and already rushed over from Brilliant Peace City," Xie Zhaoyun said with a face wreathed in smiles.


    Little Fatty''s eyes narrowed slightly and did not have the intention of making conversation.


    Xie Zhaoyun had an awkward look, but at this time, he did not have any dissatisfaction.


    He knew Ye Yuan''s relationship with Xie Jingyi. The Xie Family''s life and death depended on Xie Jingyi.


    As long as he was willing to open his mouth, the Xie Family would be considered saved.


    In fact, if Xie Jingyi was willing, the Xie Family might even soar to the sky with one bound, becoming the boss of Wu Meng Capital City!


    It was just that the premise of all this was to repair the relationship with Xie Jingyi.


    "That �� Also, the ancestor has already re-entered Little Yi, you, into the clan register," Xie Zhaoyun continued speaking.


    But what answered him was still silence.


    Xie Zhaoyun was palpitating with anxiety and fear. He felt that the little fatty in front of him was no longer that innocent and pure little fatty anymore.


    "Oh, Little Yi, I know that you hate Third Uncle in your heart, hate the Xie Family, but under that sort of situation back then, the Xie Family was compelled by circumstances too! The Qin Family covered the sky with one hand, our �� our Xie Family couldn''t afford to offend! You also know that Qin Xiao is a member of the Qin Family. How �� How can we dare to resist?! Oh, Little Yi, Third Uncle knows that you''re unhappy in your heart. If you can''t vent your anger, then just kill Third Uncle. As long as you can forgive the Xie Family, you can do anything!"


    Talking to the back, Xie Zhaoyun shed tears while talking; an appearance of sacrificing his life heroically for a cause.


    But right at this time, Xie Jingyi slowly opened both eyes, his gaze icy to the extreme.


    "Do you think that �� I don''t dare to kill you?"


    Xie Zhaoyun''s entire body was akin to falling into an ice cellar, being covered in goosebumps by that icy gaze of Xie Jingyi.


    Xie Jingyi gave a cold snort and said, "Xie Zhaoyun, stop pretending in front of me! Do you think that I''m still that fool who''s ignorant of the ways of the world back then? Put that away! If you really disgust me even more, I''ll pull the Xie Family up by the roots!"


    Xie Zhaoyun''s entire body trembled, being shocked by that cold killing intent of Xie Jingyi.


    He finally realized that this Xie Jingyi before his eyes was no longer that innocent and pure little fatty anymore.


    He would really kill people!


    The Xie Family was already clouds and mist that had come and gone to him.


    Xie Zhaoyun was silent like cicadas in winter and actually did not dare to make a sound again.


    A dignified Origin Deity Realm powerhouse did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of a half-step Origin Deity.


    "Get lost!" Little Fatty said coldly, scaring Xie Zhaoyun until his neck shrunk.


    How could he still dare to remain, running away like a puff of smoke?


    After Xie Zhaoyun left, Ye Yuan walked in from outside.


    Only after seeing Ye Yuan did Xie Jingyi''s expression ease up slightly.


    Ye Yuan knew that Xie Zhaoyun came to find Little Fatty before, but he did not say anything, but said, "Come, I''ll bring you to a place."


    Little Fatty was stunned and said, "Where to?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You''ll know after going."


    ...


    The violent spatial turbulent flow continuously scoured this endless space.


    Here, it was impossible for any living things to survive.


    But at this time, a stream of flowing light passed through the layers of turbulence, breaking the ice and advancing.


    Inside the Purple Extreme Hall, Ning Siyu, Liang Wanru, and Xie Jingyi, three people, were shocked beyond their wildest imaginations.


    "Master Ye, this �� this hall is really too impressive, to actually be able to pass through a spatial storm! Could �� this be a celestial deity mystic treasure?" Ning Siyu marveled in wonder.


    "Celestial deity mystic treasure? No, this is a true god mystic treasure! A peak true god mystic treasure!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The three people opened their mouths wide and could not close them for a long time.


    True god mystic treasure, what kind of concept was that?


    Little Fatty and Liang Wanru were still alright, but Ning Siyu''s understanding was completely not what the two of them could compare to.


    True god mystic treasure, that was absolutely an existence that made the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City go crazy.


    Once known by the outside world, there would be countless celestial deities, even true god powerhouses who would make a move to snatch it.


    Ning Siyu finally understood why Ye Yuan would be so calm when facing those Divine Lord powerhouses.


    With this Purple Extreme Hall, he did not fear those Divine Lord powerhouses at all.


    This was his greatest trump card!


    However, Ning Siyu felt very pleased in her heart too. Ye Yuan bringing her here meant that he treated her as one of his own already.


    Ning Siyu was completely Ye Yuan''s little fangirl right now and definitely would not betray him. Instead, she was proud of this.


    "However �� what did you bring us to a small world for? Could it be that this place has some precious treasure coming into being? This small world is very concealed, how did you discover it?" Ning Siyu said curiously.


    By the side, Liang Wanru felt puzzled too. But very soon, her gaze gradually became bright.


    Also, the Long Zhan not far away, he was incomparably agitated in his heart too.


    Over 100 thousand years had passed, he was finally able to return to his hometown!


    Ye Yuan glanced at Liang Wanru and said with a smile, "Wanru, didn''t you already guess something?"


    Liang Wanru herself did not quite dare to believe it either, but she still said, "Could �� Could you really have ��"


    Right then, then Purple Extreme Hall rushed straight out of the spatial turbulent flow, passing through the World Locking Gate.


    Ye Yuan brought everyone and moved, arriving above the sea.


    Ye Yuan said to the three people with a smile, "Welcome to my hometown, the Immortal Grove World!"


    Ning Siyu''s eyes went wide and she said in disbelief, "Y-Y-Y-You''re saying that you came from this small world? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "As a matter of fact, I came from here. About this, Wanru can testify."


    Liang Wanru''s astonishment was not the slightest bit less than Ning Siyu''s.


    Although she had some surmises previously, getting Ye Yuan''s confirmation still made her feel incredulous.


    Liang Wanru drew a deep breath and said, "No wonder you were so severely injured back then. It turns out that �� you passed through the spatial turbulent flow! But �� how is this possible? You had just broken through to Grotto Profound Deity Realm back then!"


    Ning Siyu was shocked again, her mouth opening wide, full of astoundment.


    Initial-stage Grotto Profound passing through the spatial turbulent flow?


    Was this an Arabian night fantasy tale?


    Also, how could a martial artist who came out of a small world possibly be so monstrous?


    The so-called geniuses in small worlds were less than even trash when placed in the Heavenspan World!


    Ning Siyu never dreamed of this degree of monstrosity until no more common sense can be associated with that the freakish Elder Ye actually came from a small world!

 1573 Heavenly Sin Heretic God

    In the depths of the Godsfall Mountain Range, Kunwu slowly opened both eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.


    "Eh, that brat actually came back! It''s only been 100 years and this brat has the ability to return?"


    Kunwu''s eyes revealed a doubtful look, feeling very puzzled and curious about Ye Yuan''s return.


    Kunwu was naturally aware that a hundred years was the same as a snap of a finger in the Heavenspan World.


    Logically speaking, for Ye Yuan to be able to cultivate to the late-stage Grotto Profound Realm now was already pretty good.


    With this strength, wanting to return was naturally as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    However, his face revealed a hint of amusement as he said with a smile, "But he probably never thought that a second existence who obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao would appear in this Immortal Grove Region, right? This timing of returning is also too coincidental. Wonder who will win or lose when these two people collide!"


    ...


    Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, everyone all had solemn faces.


    Fang Tian''s complexion was pale, his eye revealing a look of despair.


    It seemed like he already suffered heavy injuries.


    By the side, Skydistant''s expression was not much better than him.


    After Ye Yuan left, Fang Tian and Skydistant both broke through the shackles not long ago and already reached Origin Deity Realm.


    In this Immortal Grove World, who else could threaten them, even beating Fang Tian to severe injuries?


    "Old Man Fang, what should we do now? You have the most wicked ideas, say something!" Skydistant said stiflingly.


    Fang Tian heaved a sigh and said, "Ye Yuan''s strength, you''ve witnessed it before! He only used a finger and annihilated tens of thousands of fiends, suppressing Heavenly Fiendgod Kanuo! At that time, Ye Yuan was still merely at the initial-stage Grotto Profound Realm. But that Heavenly Sin Heretic God is already a grand completion Origin Deity. His strength is even stronger than the Ye Yuan back then! In front of such strength, any scheme is all futile effort!"


    Skydistant said anxiously, "Then �� Then we''re just handing over the Yue lass obediently just like this? If Ye Yuan comes back, he''ll destroy the entire Immortal Grove Region!"


    Fang Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Of course we can''t hand! At most, this old man will risk this old life and fight it out with him!"


    Skydistant suddenly heaved a sigh and said, "Sigh! If Ye Yuan were here, it would be good! This goddamn Heavenly Sin Heretic God, he''ll definitely be smacked to death with one slap!"


    Fang Tian also sighed and said, "Even if Ye Yuan was here, it''s also impossible to be his match. The two of them are existences who obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao. But Ye Yuan merely broke through to Deity Realm for 100 years, how could he possibly be Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s match?"


    Skydistant said with righteous indignation, "The villainous old heaven is really blind. Why would it acknowledge such a wicked existence?"


    Fang Tian sighed and said, "Heavenly Dao is heartless. But as long as one can meet its requirements, they can naturally get it''s recognition."


    Fang Tian was also considered to have pried into a portion of Heavenly Dao. But the Heavenly Dao that he pried into versus obtaining the recognition of Heavenly Dao, the gap was too big.


    Skydistant and Fang Tian exchanged a glance, both revealing helpless looks.


    They were already the Immortal Grove World''s strongest combat power. But in front of Heavenly Sin Heretic God, it was completely not enough to look at.


    Even if not borrowing the power of Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Sin Heretic God could also be sufficient to crush them.


    Talking about this Heavenly Sin Heretic God, Ye Yuan was caught out of the blue too.


    This Heavenly Sin Heretic God was a very distant existence, already 300 thousand years from the present.


    300 thousand years ago, this Heavenly Sin Heretic God could be said to be that era''s most talented powerhouse. His abilities were exceedingly vast, sweeping across the contemporary era.


    It was just that this Heavenly Sin Heretic God was bloodthirsty. His road to ascension was a path of killing.


    No idea how many powerhouses had fallen under his hands.


    Furthermore, Heavenly Sin Heretic God was very lustful. He actually lost all sense of judgment and raped the daughter of that era''s strongest once.


    That time, it really poked a hole in the sky.


    Heavenly Sin Heretic God already reached the point of angering both God and men, immediately arousing public wrath.


    That strongest person got together with that era''s dozens of powerhouses and joined forces to besiege and slay Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    That battle fought until heaven and earth turned dim. Over a dozen Deity Realm powerhouses fell in battle. But in the end, they were still not able to kill Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    That strongest person severely injured him and sealed him up.


    However, that era''s powerhouses fell one by one. No one could have thought that not only did Heavenly Sin Heretic God not die, he actually lived until now!


    When Heavenly Dao dwindled to zero, Heavenly Sin Heretic God also had his cultivation suppressed for a time.


    But in the wake of Heavenly Dao growing stronger day by day, Heavenly Sin Heretic God actually relied on his heaven-defying talent. Not only did he break through to grand completion Origin Deity not long ago, he even obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao.


    With this, how could the seal still seal him?


    Just the other day, Heavenly Sin Heretic God broke out of the seal and shook the world.


    When the Law Enforcement Hall saw the Heavenly Dao phenomenon, they naturally went to the sealed land to investigate. Who knew that they ran into Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    That day, the instant Heavenly Sin Heretic God saw Yue Mengli, Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s two eyes radiated with light and fell hopelessly in love with her.


    That''s right, it was fell in love!


    Yue Mengli''s looks were far greater compared to that strongest person''s daughter.


    On the spot, Heavenly Sin Heretic God was going to marry Yue Mengli.


    How could Fang Tian and Skydistant be willing to let Heavenly Sin Heretic God have his way? They rushed straight up to have a great battle with Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    But how could they be Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s match? One exchange and Fang Tian was heavily wounded.


    Only with Yue Mengli threatening him with suicide did he not kill the two people on the spot.


    But Heavenly Sin Heretic God was not someone to be trifled with either. He said that if Yue Mengli dared to refuse, he would kill off all of the Law Enforcement Hall''s Deity Realm powerhouses.


    Yue Mengli had a clever idea in the moment of desperation and told Heavenly Sin Heretic God that he could marry her, but it must be a formal wedding and let the whole world know.


    She and Heavenly Sin Heretic God agreed that a month later, he would come to the Law Enforcement Hall to marry her in a grand spectacle.


    Heavenly Sin Heretic God agreed, but he sealed off the roads leading to the Godsfall Mountain Range.


    Clearly, inside the Godsfall Mountain Range had existences that he was apprehensive off as well.


    But this way, Yue Mengli did not have a path of retreat anymore.


    Today was the one month date. The Law Enforcement Hall''s upper echelons discussed for a month and also did not come up with a conclusion.


    The final outcome was to sit and wait for death.


    On the right-hand side, Yue Mengli''s gaze revealed a hint of decisiveness as she said, "Seniors, there is no need to dispute it anymore. Li-er already has a way!"


    Her words made everyone''s eyes light up.


    Skydistant said impatiently, "What method? Yue lass, you quickly say!"


    Yue Mengli said, "Heavenly Sin Heretic God wants to obtain me. When he comes over, I''ll threaten with death and make him let you all enter the Godsfall Mountain Range! As long as you all are able to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range, you''ll be safe!"


    Skydistant''s expression changed and he said, "No way! Absolutely no way! If you die, how will we give an account to Ye Yuan?"


    How could Skydistant not understand? Yue Mengli was harboring the will to die, wanting to sacrifice herself to save them.


    But this way, even if they could live, how would they face Ye Yuan in the future?


    Ye Yuan entrusted Yue Mengli to them, but they could not protect her.


    Yue Mengli said decisively, "Do Seniors have a better plan? You all rest assured, Big Brother Yuan he''s understanding and amenable to reason, he won''t blame you all."


    "My good Li-er, Big Brother Heavenly Sin is here to marry you!"


    Right at this time, Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s voice sounded out in the entire stretch of space.

 1574 This Is the First!

    Everyone''s heart plunged to rock-bottom all at once.


    Fang Tian, Skydistant, White Light, Fiery, and the rest, all revealed determined looks on their faces.


    Since they could not be spared, there was only battling to the death!


    Even if it was akin to moths flying into the fire, they also could not helplessly watch Li-er go to die.


    For everyone here to be able to have today, it was all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    How could they possibly watch Li-er go and die helplessly now, while they drag out an ignorable existence in the world?


    The Law Enforcement Hall swarmed out in full force, akin to facing a great enemy.


    They never thought that just 100 years after killing Kanuo, the Immortal Grove World actually encountered such a catastrophe again.


    Furthermore, this calamity was even more terrifying than Kanuo.


    Although Kanuo was a Heavenly Fiendgod, he was not an invincible existence.


    But this Heavenly Sin Heretic God was undefeatable!


    Even if Ye Yuan was here, there was no chance of winning either!


    Above the void, a divine carriage that blotted out the sky and covered the sun suspended quietly, giving people a strong visual impact.


    The decorations on the divine carriage were very dazzling and joyous, just like a sedan chair for welcoming the bride.


    Eight enormous dragons were carrying pegs. It was clearly used to pull the divine carriage.


    Seeing those eight enormous dragons, everyone''s faces changed drastically!


    "Senior Long Min! Senior Ao Qian! Heavenly Sin, what''s the meaning of this?" Yue Mengli''s gaze turned cold as she denounced charmingly.


    Yue Mengli saw clearly that those eight enormous dragons were none other than the dragon race''s old patriarch, Long Min, as well as the Ao Qian who had already returned to the dragon clan!


    They revealed their original forms at this time and became the mounts to pull the carriage.


    On the Law Enforcement Hall''s side, everyone had bloodshot eyes, wishing to rush up and fight it out with Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    This was simply unprecedented humiliation!


    The dignified dragon race''s major powers were actually forcefully abducted over by Heavenly Sin Heretic God to pull the divine carriage!


    However, no one could resist Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    He was too strong!


    The outcome was resisting was death!


    Only seeing Yue Mengli''s expression did Heavenly Sin come to realize it, and he said with a laugh, "Turns out that you know them, then it''s really too great. My good Li-er, this one month''s time, this venerated self has racked his brains for the sake of our wedding! I first went to Longwinter, that guy''s place where he passed away in meditation, and dug up his grave, digging out this Waveheaven Divine Carriage. Then I went to the dragon clan and captured these eight dragons to pull the Waveheaven Divine Carriage for us. Hahaha, since you know them, then let them witness our love together!"


    With Yue Mengli''s calm and composed personality, she was already angered by Heavenly Sin until she was virtually going mad at this time.


    No need to even talk about the others, they wished to swallow Heavenly Sin whole.


    "Shit, this tiger lord can''t stand it anymore! Your father will fight it out with you today!"


    The White Tiger Clan and Azure Dragon Clan were of the same ancestry. The humiliation of Long Min and Ao Qian they all, he felt as if he had experienced it himself. How could he still bear it?


    Done talking, White Light turned into a stream of flowing light and rushed over toward Heavenly Sin.


    Skydistant also went crazy. He was part of the Four Symbols Family Clans too, how could he stand this kind of humiliation?


    He followed closely behind White Light and also rushed up towards Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    "Everybody, attack together! Even if we die, we also have to teach this guy an unforgettable lesson!" Fang Tian shouted fiercely and rushed up.


    Above the sky, several dozen figures rushed at Heavenly Sin Heretic God.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Heavenly Sin''s mouth and he said disdainfully, "Ants who overestimate their own abilities. Since you all want to die, then this seat will fulfill your wishes!"


    Yue Mengli''s entire body trembled and she cried out, "Heavenly Sin, if you dare to kill them, I''ll die for you to see right now!"


    Yue Mengli raised her palm and placed it on top of her head.


    As long as her palm pressed, she could end her own life.


    Heavenly Sin''s face changed, just casually waving a hand, dozens of figures flew back uncontrollably, the speed even faster than when they came.


    "Puu, puu, puu!"


    Everyone directly spewed out a mouthful of blood, already sustaining heavy injuries.


    In front of Heavenly Sin, they did not have any leeway to resist at all!


    An emotion called despair spread in the air.


    Too strong!


    These people were the Immortal Grove World''s strongest combat force. They actually could not even touch the corners of the other party''s sleeves!


    The corners of Heavenly Sin''s mouth curled slightly and he said with a wicked grin, "My good Li-er, you see that your husband already has such sincerity. Shouldn''t we perform the formal rituals and get married? Today, let''s become Dao companions in front of everyone, never to part for all of eternity!"


    Yue Mengli''s heart turned ice-cold and she gritted her teeth and said, "Heavenly Sin, want me to become Dao companions with you, that is possible. But you have to promise me, let them enter the Godsfall Mountain Range! Otherwise, even if I die, I won''t become Dao companions with you too!"


    Heavenly Sin smiled sinisterly and said, "My good Li-er, do you really take husband, me, to be a fool? When this venerated self roamed unobstructed throughout the Immortal Grove Region, I toyed with the whole world in the palm of my hands. How can your little trick deceive me? Heh heh, if I let them go, you''ll commit suicide straight away. But if I don''t let them go, you �� don''t dare to die!"


    Yue Mengli''s expression changed, only then, discovering that her thinking was simply too fanciful and fallacious.


    Heavenly Sin Heretic God was a supreme powerhouse from 300 thousand years ago, how could he be deceived be her little trick?


    Did she �� really have to commit her body to this abominable guy?


    No!


    That way, I, Yue Mengli, would rather die!


    Right at this time, Heavenly Sin smiled again and said, "My good Li-er, it''s not impossible for this venerated self to let them go. But you must get married to this venerated self first. After the ceremony is done, this venerated self will naturally let them go!"


    "You! You dream on!" Yue Mengli said in extreme rage.


    Heavenly Sin laughed and said, "Hahaha �� my good Li-er, do you think that this one month that this venerated self was out, I really did not care about what''s happening in the outside world? I know that you like a punk called Ye Yuan. Furthermore, he''s the same as me, both candidate masters that this Immortal Grove Region chose. But �� that punk broke through to Divine Dao for merely 100 years, even if he''s here, this seat can smack him to death with one slap! Therefore, you can stop harboring hopes of getting lucky. Obediently become Dao companions with this venerated self and forget that kid. After today, you''ll reign the Immortal Grove Region together with this venerated self!"


    Heavenly Sin paused for a bit, his gaze turned dark and murderous intent emerged fully as he said, "If you don''t obey, this venerated self will kill one by one starting from now. Wonder how you''ll feel when these people die in front of you one by one?"


    What kind of existence was Heavenly Sin Heretic God?


    He was a fierce and ambitious person from 300 thousand years ago. His cunningness and resourcefulness were top-rate existences.


    Yue Mengli was too weak in front of him.


    Heavenly Sin was incomparably pleased with himself inwardly. He knew that Yue Mengli would definitely be obedient.


    If he could not even deal with a woman, his name of Heavenly Sin would also be too useless.


    When the raw rice is cooked, would he still be afraid that Yue Mengli could escape his palm?


    As long as the ceremony was done, Heavenly Sin believed that even if he were to let Yue Mengli return to Ye Yuan''s side, she would not agree.


    She had no face to see Ye Yuan!


    At that time, she could only follow him wholeheartedly!


    Yue Mengli had a look of despair, she was really out of a choice.


    "Li-er, you don''t worry about us! This old man was originally someone who should have died, today, I''ll return my life to Ye Yuan!" Fang Tian shouted and rushed over toward Heavenly Sin once more.


    Heavenly Sin smiled evilly, and then he said to Yue Mengli, "My good Li-er, this is the first!"

 1575 I Understand Heaven Better Than You!

    Heavenly Sin also had the intention of demonstrating his strength to Li-er. Pointing a finger out at this time, the winds and clouds changed colors.


    Fang Tian was still in midair and felt as if the end of the world had arrived.


    This was the genuine might of the Heavenly Dao!


    Whatever heavenly tribulation, whatever soul tribulation, it totally paled in comparison in front of this finger.


    "This �� What kind of power is this?!"


    "Too terrifying. Even that battle between Ye Yuan and Kanuo back then, it''s also not enough to look at in front of this finger!"


    "It''s over! This time, it''s utterly over! Our Immortal Grove Region is really plagued with misfortune. It''s just been 100 years and such a scrounge actually appeared again!"


    The faces of the Law Enforcement Hall''s people all revealed looks of despair.


    Back then, there was still Ye Yuan overturning the raging tides in an overwhelming manner.


    But now, who else could block in front of them?


    Fang Tian was the first. After that, there would still be a second, a third.


    In front of this finger, Fang Tian could not muster up the thought to resist at all.


    He could not even thought about surviving at all!


    At this moment, he only wanted to return peace of mind to himself.


    He knew that no one could escape a disaster today. He could not, Yue Mengli could not as well.


    Hence, he at the very least could not helplessly watch Li-er die in front of him.


    "Ye Yuan, I''m sorry, I have no way of protecting Li-er."


    Fang Tian slowly shut his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.


    In an instant, that breathtaking finger arrived in front of Fang Tian''s face.


    Everyone shut their eyes. They could not bear to see the death of this Immortal Grove Region''s leader.


    "En? This �� What''s going on?"


    Right at this time, someone suddenly exclaimed.


    Heavenly Sin''s finger carried the might of Heavenly Dao. When it arrived in front of Fang Tian, it actually disappeared directly.


    At this moment, the three feet area in front of Fang Tian seemingly cut off to become two different worlds.


    That world raged like a storm, heaven and earth changed colors. This world was calm and peaceful. There was tranquility.


    Fang Tian suddenly felt that that horrifying pressure on his body actually vanished, and he couldn''t help it but to open both eyes.


    He was stunned by this scene!


    This �� What was going on?


    Heavenly Sin''s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, "Who is it? Get out for this venerated self!"


    At this moment, everyone''s face revealed puzzled looks.


    Could it be that this Immortal Grove Region still had someone who could be Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s match?


    "What''s going on here? Could it be Senior Kunwu taking action?"


    White Light looked at Yue Mengli in surprise but discovered that her beautiful body was trembling incessantly. Her face revealed an excited red glow.


    Just as White Light was completely bewildered, he heard Yue Mengli with an extremely excited voice saying, "He �� came back!"


    White Light froze and said, "Who? Who came back?"


    Yue Mengli said agitatedly, "It''s Big Brother Yuan! Big Brother Yuan came back!"


    White Light''s entire body trembled. Right at this moment, there was a tremor in the void. Several figures stood in the air, facing Heavenly Sin Heretic God from afar.


    That figure in the center, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Speaking of which was coincidental too, Ye Yuan and the rest were currently chatting idly above the East Sea when he felt the powerful undulation of Heavenly Dao.


    This kind of undulation was what only the controller could have.


    Virtually without the slightest hesitation, he immediately came here with a teleport and just happened to run into Heavenly Sin pointing a finger at Fang Tian, which he made a move to resolve.


    Fang Tian''s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, "Y-Ye Yuan! How is this possible?!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Fang Tian and said with a smile, "Senior Fang Tian, I''ve let you get startled."


    After the astonishment, Fang Tian laughed loudly and said, "Good! Good! Good that you''re back! Haha!"


    Everyone looked at that white-robed youth in the sky, full of shock.


    Ye Yuan actually came back!


    "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan came back! We''re saved!"


    "Ye Yuan is really the Immortal Grove Region''s guardian god! With him around, we''re safe!"


    "Ye Yuan always appears in the time of crisis. This time was not an exception either!"


    "He �� He actually broke through to middle-stage Origin Deity! My god, he just left for 100 years and already broke through two major realms! This guy is really as freakish as ever!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s appearance made everyone rouse themselves.


    In their eyes, Ye Yuan was the savior!


    However, not everyone was optimistic.


    "Don''t be happy too early! Ye Yuan and Heavenly Sin are both controllers, but Heavenly Sin''s realm is two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan. This matter doesn''t bode well!" someone said with a solemn look.


    With him saying so, everyone''s expression changed.


    Heavenly Sin''s might, they had experienced it deeply. Was Ye Yuan really his match?


    Seeing these people''s expressions and words, very quickly, Heavenly Sin understood just who this white-robed youth in front of him was.


    "You''re the other Heavenly Dao controller? Looks �� so weak!" Heavenly Sin said with an evil smile on his face.


    Although Ye Yuan''s appearance was somewhat unexpected, he was not worried.


    The disparity between middle-stage Origin Deity and grand completion Origin Deity was too great!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said icily, "Where are you, a trash, even from? To actually dare make a move against Senior Fang Tian?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s gaze flitted to the Waveheaven Divine Carriage behind Heavenly Sin as well as those eight enormous dragons'' bodies. A surge of fury instantly combusted in his heart.


    "Trash? An ant like you also dares to call this venerated self trash? Truly, the ignorant are fearless! Heh, you came just in time, this venerated self is going to take Li-er as my wife today. Since you came back, just nice, you can be a witness for us! Seeing your true love become somebody else''s wife, are you very furious? However, this venerated self just likes to see the appearance of other people angry, but helpless to do anything! Hahaha �� You rest assured, this venerated self won''t kill you today. This venerated self wants you to watch me and Li-er consummate our marriage!"


    Talking until the exciting parts, Heavenly Sin could not resist letting loose a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan was very calm and did not blow his top like Heavenly Sin imagined.


    But the people present were all too familiar with Ye Yuan. They all knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged.


    Furthermore, the wrath this time could probably burn the horizon!


    This Heavenly Sin Heretic God was really too able to provoke!


    Except, was Ye Yuan really Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s match?


    Two minor realms might not count for anything when at the mortal realms.


    But reaching Origin Deity Realm, this was two huge mountains; virtually unable to cross!


    When Ye Yuan made a move to save Fang Tian, he did not know what happened. He even thought that the Law Enforcement Hall offended this great deity.


    But with Heavenly Sin saying so, he completely understood.


    Very good, there was actually someone who dared to provoke him like this!


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Sin calmly just like that and slowly opened his mouth and said, "Although I don''t know where you popped out from, but you''re really good! My wrath has already been suddenly ignited by you!"


    Ye Yuan''s reaction made Heavenly Sin somewhat displeased.


    He liked to see others be in a violent rage, then trample others underfoot.


    Ye Yuan''s calmness made him lose some delight.


    But no matter, he would make Ye Yuan really become enraged.


    Heavenly Sin smiled evilly and said, "Brat, I know that you''re a Heavenly Dao controller too. But, there''s a gap in strength between controllers too! Remember, I understand heaven better than you!"

 1576 Does It Dare to Answer If You Call It?

    "Remember, I understand heaven better than you!"


    Heavenly Sin''s voice reverberated between heaven and earth. That figure appeared incomparably tall in everyone''s eyes.


    The current Heavenly Sin Heretic God was so all-powerful.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Heavenly Sin''s aura climbed wildly. Dark clouds gathered overhead in the sky, while lightning was accompanied by peals of thunder, making people have the jitters.


    At this moment, it was as if the end of the world had come, and heaven and earth collapsed.


    The entire Immortal Grove World started shuddering.


    Because of Heavenly Sin Heretic God!


    "This �� This is too strong, right?"


    "Turns out that that finger just now was not his full strength at all."


    "This �� How to fight him? I feel like he''s the god of creation!"


    ...


    Everyone''s faces revealed a look of horror. They were frightened by Heavenly Sin''s powerful strength.


    Perhaps Heavenly Sin''s strength was just a small fry when placed in the Heavenspan World.


    But in this Immortal Grove World, he was invincible!


    "Big Brother Yuan!" Yue Mengli shouted. When she saw this scene, she was too frightened until her complexion turned pale.


    This powerful pressure was truly too scary.


    She was not afraid for herself. She was worried about Ye Yuan.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s improvement was very terrifying, she still did not know whether or not Ye Yuan could do it to this extent similarly as a controller.


    Ye Yuan turned around to look at Li-er and gave her a reassuring look.


    Li-er and Ye Yuan had their hearts and minds connected, and she instantly set her mind at ease.


    The rest also looked at Ye Yuan with worried expressions. If Ye Yuan could not stop Heavenly Sin Heretic God, then the Immortal Grove Region would fall into a bottomless abyss!


    "Hahaha, kid, you''re also a Heavenly Dao controller, why don''t you summon the might of Heavenly Dao? Or is it that you already gave up? If you''re not making a move, then I''m coming! You relax, I won''t kill you. Li-er and I still haven''t performed the formal wedding ceremony!"


    Finished talking, Heavenly Sin looked down from a height, and suddenly smacked a palm down.


    Rumble ��


    An enormous black palm protruded out from the void, making the entire Immortal Grove World quake.


    Fang Tian, Skydistant, these Deity Realm powerhouses, lost control of their bodies all of a sudden, dropping down from the sky one after another.


    The entire Immortal Grove World''s Heavenly Dao became chaotic, they were completely unable to fly in the air.


    Even Ning Siyu and the rest who came from the Heavenspan World were unable to fly in the air too.


    Above the void, there was only Ye Yuan and Heavenly Sin left.


    "Heretic God Palm! Brat, do you dare to receive this palm or not? If you don''t receive it, everyone below will have to be buried in death with you! Hahaha �� Is it very despairing for you?" Heavenly Sin laughed wantonly.


    Wild winds raged, the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves fluttered wildly.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the firmament from a distance, and just quietly watched it just like this, watching Heavenly Sin perform alone.


    The enormous palm reached out from the void and pressed down towards the top of Ye Yuan''s head.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of resisting at all.


    Everyone below was dumbfounded with shock, screaming one by one.


    "What''s Ye Yuan doing? Could it be that he''s not fighting back?"


    "Ye Yuan, quickly make a move! It''s too late!"


    "Ye Yuan, you''re our last hope, you mustn''t give up!"


    ...


    Looking as the giant palm was about to land on top of Ye Yuan''s head, Ye Yuan still did not have the intention of making a move.


    Heavenly Sin was dumbfounded and thought to himself, could this punk be an idiot? To actually not even fight back?


    However, right at this time, something that made everyone stare wide-eyed and their mouths agape happened.


    All of a sudden, the entire sky started trembling.


    That black giant palm seemingly saw something terrifying and actually shrunk right back!


    Retracting back into the void!


    The original thick peals of thunder and dense dark clouds vanished without a trace in a blink of an eye.


    Clear skies illuminated the world once more.


    When the sunlight shone on everyone''s face once more, they all felt as if they had experienced a baptism from doomsday to rebirth.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    Heavenly Sin was also dumbfounded!


    What just happened?


    Seemed like Ye Yuan did not do anything.


    What happened?


    At this time, Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Sin, slowly opened his mouth, and said, "What did you say earlier, I didn''t hear clearly. Can I trouble you to say it one more time?"


    A hint of panic finally flashed across in Heavenly Sin''s eyes.


    Impossible, it definitely was not done by this kid!


    A blunder!


    Right, it must have been a mistake!


    Dealing the Heretic God Palm once more would definitely be able to smack this brat to death!


    Thinking up to here, Heavenly Sin''s confidence mustered up once more and he said with a cold snort, "I said, I understand heaven better than you! Why? Are you unconvinced?"


    Done talking, Heavenly Sin released his aura, wanting to summon the might of Heavenly Dao once again.


    "Heretic God Palm!"


    However, there was no movement in the sky at all.


    Heavenly Dao seemed to not be able to hear his call at all and did not even have any reaction.


    Whatever thick peals of thunder, whatever Heavenly Dao chaotic, nothing at all!


    Heavenly Sin''s pupils constricted and he looked at this scene in disbelief as he said, "Impossible! This �� how is this possible? I �� I clearly already obtained the recognition of Heavenly Dao and became the controller of Heavenly Dao!"


    "Heretic God Palm!"


    Heavenly Sin''s face turned red from exertion, but Heavenly Dao still did not give him any response at all.


    Below, everyone exchanged glances, all with baffled looks, completely not knowing what happened.


    Heaven and earth changed colors just now, but why did it become blue sky and gentle breeze in a twinkle?


    "Who knows what''s going on? Did Ye Yuan do this?"


    "No way, right? Even though he''s also a controller, it''s impossible to do it to this extent, right?"


    "He clearly didn''t do anything just now. He just stood there and did not even move a finger."


    ...


    Yue Mengli''s beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan. She was incomparably certain in her heart and this was done by Ye Yuan.


    Even though she could not understand at all.


    She knew that Ye Yuan was still that undefeatable Ye Yuan.


    Even if the Immortal Grove World produced a Heavenly Sin Heretic God, it was still impossible to be Ye Yuan''s match!


    "Hahaha, Big Brother is really too awesome! Didn''t even move a finger and he made this guy croak! Hahaha, too satisfying!" White Light suddenly laughed loudly and said.


    He was the same as Li-er, knowing that this was definitely Ye Yuan''s work!


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s eyelids raised slightly and he looked at Heavenly Sin as he said coolly, "Just now, you said that you understand heaven better than me?"


    Heavenly Sin choked and said, "I �� I ��"


    A hint of mockery flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth, and he said with a cold sneer, "Do you know how big the heaven outside is? Do you know how strong the people outside are? Do you know how weak you are? You are merely a frog at the bottom of a well!"


    You are merely a frog at the bottom of a well!


    This one sentence shocked everyone''s heart.


    Even an existence like Heavenly Sin was just a frog at the bottom of a well?


    Heavenly Sin''s expression became incomparably ugly and he roared at Ye Yuan, "Impossible! You''re merely a controller too! Furthermore, my realm is higher than yours, and my comprehensions are deeper than yours! I, Heavenly Sin Heretic God, am this Immortal Grove World''s number one controller!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said coolly, "Oh? Is that so? If you''re the controller, does it dare to answer if you call it?"


    Heavenly Sin''s face was like a chameleon, instantly changing several colors.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "I don''t believe that I can''t control Heavenly Dao! Heretic God Palm! Heretic God Palm! Heretic God Palm!"


    Heavenly Sin seemed like a madman shouting non-stop. However, Heavenly Dao still did not react at all.

 1577 Sundering Heavenly Dao!

    Looking at Heavenly Sin''s crazy-like behavior, everyone''s faces revealed strange looks.


    Was this Heavenly Sin Heretic God in front of them really that one who nearly killed them just now?


    What the hell did Ye Yuan do, to actually let a controller lose control of Heavenly Dao?


    "What did Ye Yuan say just now? Heavenly Dao �� dares not answer?" Fang Tian said somewhat uncertainly.


    He somewhat doubted whether or not he heard wrongly, hence, he asked the Skydistant beside him.


    Skydistant glanced at him and said full of shock, "Could his meaning be that Heavenly Dao was frightened away by him? And he really didn''t do anything?"


    "Heavenly Dao �� can be frightened away too? What �� What on earth is it afraid of?" Fang Tian felt like his brain was somewhat unable to keep up.


    Skydistant drew a deep breath, his gaze deep as he said, "Looks like not seeing him for 100 years, Ye Yuan''s realm is already not what you and I can imagine!"


    Everyone was incomparably shocked in their hearts. Before going out, Ye Yuan was just a Heavenly Dao controller. But returning this time, even Heavenly Dao actually trembled.


    An emotion called despair crept out in Heavenly Sin''s heart.


    He experienced 300 thousand years before producing a trace of enlightenment, obtaining Heavenly Dao''s recognition.


    But now, what the hell was this?


    It was just over a month after he came out of seclusion!


    Over 300 thousand years of humiliation, he had not begun to take revenge on this world and it already ended?


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said with a cold smile, "If I can''t control Heavenly Dao, I don''t believe that you can as well! Humph! Even if I don''t control Heavenly Dao, my realm still crushes you!"


    When people despair, it would always be easy to find all sorts of excuses for themselves.


    Heavenly Sin was naturally unwilling to be trampled underfoot by Ye Yuan, so he kept on finding excuses in his heart.


    Perhaps, Heavenly Dao was just temporarily unable to be controlled!


    Similarly, as a controller, there was no reason that he could not but Ye Yuan could!


    Heavenly Sin''s aura of grand completion Origin Deity emitted out, the commotion was similarly incomparably outrageous.


    His strength could virtually rival Kanuo''s already.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Sin with pity and said indifferently, "Ignorance is truly terrifying. You can''t, doesn''t mean that I can''t!"


    Done talking, Ye Yuan raised his palm and pressed down.


    An enormous palm reached out of the void and slapped onto Heavenly Sin''s body with a momentum like a sudden peal of thunder which left no time for covering ears.


    Heavenly Sin spurted fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    The might of Heavenly Dao!


    Ye Yuan did not deal a heavy blow. This palm broke bones and injured the ligaments, but absolutely would not take his life.


    Before he returned, he never dreamed that this Immortal Grove Region actually still had someone who dared to provoke him like this.


    Very good, he was very successful!


    Ye Yuan was very angry and the consequences were very severe!


    He calmly looked at the Heavenly Sin spurting fresh blood wildly and said, "You understand heaven better than me? Who gave you the courage to say this sort of words in front of me?"


    Boom!


    Another palm protruded out of the void and smacked Heavenly Sin silly like smacking a fly.


    He had not recovered when a large foot already trampled on his face, directly trampling him onto the ground from the air.


    Boom!


    Another loud bang, a 100 thousand foot pit was smashed out on the surface of the ground.


    Heavenly Sin''s face was practically flattened by Ye Yuan.


    "Posturing in front of me, no problem! At most, I''ll beat you up and it will be over. But you dared to touch my woman, Ye Yuan''s woman, and dared to humiliate my own race, dared to kill the senior who watched me, Ye Yuan, grow up. I �� am very angry!" Ye Yuan''s words got colder word after word.


    These things were all what Ye Yuan was very particular about, being a taboo.


    Especially Li-er, she was a weight that he could not bear in his life.


    Mu Lingxue''s matter made Ye Yuan even more sensitive to such things.


    However, this guy just had to make an issue about this kind of thing.


    How could he not be furious?


    "This �� This venerated self was wrong! I �� I beg Your Excellency to spare me!" Heavenly Sin said with a slur and blood pooling.


    He was really frightened, this young man in front of him was seriously too terrifying.


    He finally knew now that Ye Yuan really understood heaven better than him and was not joking with him.


    It was just that he did not understand, why would Heavenly Dao actually be afraid of Ye Yuan?


    But this was already not important, he was trapped for 300 thousand years. Now that he broke free, he had not enjoyed life yet. He did not want to die yet!


    Ye Yuan glanced at him, a hint of a smile that gave people a chill flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    It was just that this hint of smile, Heavenly Sin could not see it at all now.


    Tap!


    Ye Yuan threw a medicinal pill beside Heavenly Sin''s head and said coolly, "Eat it, don''t say that I''m bullying you. I''ll give you a chance for a fair fight right now!"


    Ye Yuan let go of his leg. Heavenly Sin looked at the medicinal pill beside him but did not dare to make a move.


    Only an idiot would fall for it!


    Right now, it was more important to preserve his life.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and he said, "I asked you to eat it, you didn''t hear it?"


    A terrifying killing intent locked onto Heavenly Sin. How could he still dare to hesitate, grabbing the medicinal pill on the ground and swallowing it.


    The medicinal pill entering the abdomen, a wave of cool reinvigoration instantly filled all the limbs and bones in his body, making his entire person much more spirited.


    What a powerful healing medicinal pill!


    Heavenly Sin was startled inwardly, looking at Ye Yuan rather disbelievingly.


    The medicinal effect of this medicinal pill was truly too incredible.


    In less than an hour, he could fully recover.


    "Give you one hour''s time, refine the medicinal pill''s medicinal strength." Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Heavenly Sin was full of doubts, not knowing what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd.


    Could it be that this guy was going to fatten him up and then slaughter him?


    But Ye Yuan''s words, how could he dare to defy? He could only muster up divine essence and start to refine the medicinal pill.


    Everyone all looked at Ye Yuan with puzzled looks, similarly not understanding what he was going to do.


    This kind of guy, directly smack him to death with one slap would do, being so long-winded with him for what?


    Now, he actually even wanted to treat his injuries.


    But Ye Yuan''s decision, how could it be their turn to interfere?


    One hour later, Heavenly Sin was full of energy again and actually directly recovered to his peak state.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help but marvel greatly at the medicine effect of this healing medicinal pill.


    Especially Fang Tian and the rest, they naturally knew that divine pills were vastly different from mortal realm medicinal pills.


    Ye Yuan''s currently Alchemy Dao strength was simply unfathomable!


    Heavenly Sin stood up and was just like an aggrieved little wife, not daring to make a sound.


    At this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, "You and I are both controllers, I''ll give you the chance for a fair fight. We won''t use the power of Heavenly Dao and have a fair battle!"


    Heavenly Sin''s gaze turned intent and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Y-Your Excellency, how can this lowly one dare to make a move against you? Previously, it was all this lowly one who was scoundrelly and did �� did something that shouldn''t be done. I �� I beg your excellency to spare this lowly one''s life!"


    What a joke, you say fair battle and it would be a fair battle?


    You want to let me be pleased with myself for a while, then when you can''t beat you, use the power of Heavenly Dao again and smack me to death with one slap!


    What kind of existence am I, Heavenly Sin Heretic God? How could I fall for the scheme of you, this child?


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s palm-blade chopped at the void.


    Crack!


    Right at this time, a bolt of lightning tore across the sky, akin to a bolt out of the blue!


    Heavenly Sin''s eyes went wide and he said in disbelief, "Y-Y-Y-You sundered the Heavenly Dao?"

 1578 Resounding Slap

    Obtaining the recognition of Heavenly Dao and becoming the Heavenly Dao controller of a world, the martial artist would produce a trace of inexplicable connection with this small world.


    The martial artist could mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao for his own use through this hint of connection.


    This was the so-called controller of an owner-less world!


    But Ye Yuan actually severed this trace of connection just now.


    This meant that he was not the controller now.


    Everyone present were not fools, how could they still not understand what was going on?


    Each and every one of their faces revealed incomparably shocked expressions, feeling very perplexed by Ye Yuan''s action.


    "Now, you can rest assured, right? I''m giving you this chance, a fair battle!" Ye Yuan said coolly as if he did something ordinary.


    Heavenly Sin was stunned for a full ten breaths of time before slowly coming back to his senses.


    "Hahaha �� you actually severed the Heavenly Dao! Actually really sundered the Heavenly Dao!" After coming back to his senses, Heavenly Sin was wildly elated in his heart and laughed wildly without ceasing.


    At this moment, he was incomparably certain that this Ye Yuan was a fool!


    A complete fool!


    He, Heavenly Sin Heretic God, used 300 thousand years before achieving the realm of controller.


    But this kid actually cut off Heavenly Dao without even batting an eyelid!


    The confidence that was just trampled into pieces by Ye Yuan instantly returned to him.


    That feeling of showing disdain on everything returned again!


    With Ye Yuan no longer being a controller, he was the Immortal Grove Region''s strongest!


    A fair battle!


    Screw his fair battle!


    Only a fool would have a fair fight with you!


    "Kid, this venerated self admires your courage and boldness. As a Heavenly Dao''s controller, you actually severed it at the drop of a hat!" Heavenly Sin said proudly.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Sin calmly and said coolly, "Just a small world''s controller, only a frog at the bottom of a well like you will take it seriously."


    Heavenly Sin laughed loudly and said, "Yes, you''ve gone to experience the world outside, a small world''s controller is indeed nothing. But in the Immortal Grove Region, I''m the strongest!"


    Everyone was unable to understand why Ye Yuan would do such an action.


    "What on earth is Ye Yuan trying to do? He sundered Heavenly Sin Heretic God, who else is Heavenly Sin Heretic God''s match in this Immortal Grove Region?"


    "Ye Yuan is too reckless! He wouldn''t naively think that the Heavenly Sin Heretic God would have a fair fight with him, right?"


    "Ye Yuan might have lost his head being angered by Heavenly Sin, wanting to use his real strength to crush the other party. He sundered Heavenly Dao, but Heavenly Sin Heretic God would not cut it off!"


    "Could it be that ye yuan still has some backup plan?"


    "Under this sort of situation, what backup plan can there still be? I can''t imagine it at all!"


    ...


    Earlier, Ye Yuan ravaged Heavenly Sin like smacking a fly, they still felt very liberated.


    Who knew that in a twinkle, the situation actually had such a startling great reversal.


    Ye Yuan''s action made the situation become one-sided again.


    Ning Siyu looked at the Ye Yuan high up in the sky thoughtfully. She knew that Ye Yuan''s combat strength was extremely formidable, in a fair fight, Heavenly Sin could never be Ye Yuan''s match.


    But the problem was, how on earth was Ye Yuan going to resist the power of Heavenly Dao?


    Unless a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse came, otherwise, she really could not figure out what means Ye Yuan had that could resolve the might of Heavenly Dao.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Sin''s eyes turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, "Kid, it''s you who''s seeking death! The humiliation that you gave this venerated self earlier, I''m going to get it back a thousand folds now!"


    Heretic God Palm!


    Heavenly Sin shouted and smacked towards Ye Yuan.


    In the next instant, his expression became incomparably fascinating.


    F*cking failed again!


    He was actually still unable to mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao!


    Everyone had stunned faces.


    "What''s going on here? Ye Yuan already cut off Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Sin is the Immortal Grove Region''s only controller now, why is he still unable to control Heavenly Dao?"


    "Hahaha �� I understand, Ye Yuan is deliberately messing with him!"


    "This guy even thought that he got a huge bargain, didn''t expect that Ye Yuan was totally playing with him. Heretic God Palm, hahaha, really killing me!"


    ...


    Heavenly Sin''s expression was as ugly as it could get. He felt like his world view already collapsed.


    A hint of panic revealed in his eyes once more as he said, "Impossible! I''m clearly the only controller, why am I still unable to mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao?"


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at an idiot and said coolly, "Your brain isn''t too good, right? Do you think that everyone is as stupid as you? Would I put my life in your hands? Cutting off Heavenly Dao, I''m naturally very certain that Heavenly Dao is useless to me."


    Heavenly Sin''s gaze turned intent, he went completely mad.


    He finally knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately messing with him!


    "Kid, looks like you''re very smug huh?! However �� did you forget something?" Heavenly Sin said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised as he said, "Oh? What did I forget?"


    Heavenly Sin grinned hideously and said, "You forgot, this venerable self is two minor realms higher than you! This venerable self is already standing at the peak of Origin Deity Realm!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is that so? You''re so impressive huh! I said just now, I''m going to have a fair battle with you. I want to defeat you in an upright manner!"


    Heavenly Sin sneered and said, "Defeat me? With the likes of you? Even if not borrowing the might of Heavenly Dao, killing you will be as easy as blowing off dust too! I''ll let you take a look at this venerated self''s true strength!"


    While talking, the aura of Heavenly Sin''s grand completion Origin Deity completely released.


    A gleaming scimitar appeared in his hand, it was shockingly a celestial deity artifact.


    Heavenly Sin grinned hideously and said, "Heavenly Moon Wild Blade! Kid, die!"


    A blade that advanced with an indomitable will, the imposing momentum was incomparably shocking from beginning to end.


    Even when Fang Tian, Skydistant, and the rest saw this blade, they quaked in their boots too.


    They could not help looking towards Ye Yuan worriedly, not knowing if Ye Yuan was really Heavenly Sin''s match.


    Heavenly Sin''s speed was swift to the extreme, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    Same as before, Ye Yuan still did not move and still stood with his hands behind his back just like that.


    Heavenly Sin was wildly elated in his heart. Such a close distance, Ye Yuan absolutely could not avoid his blade.


    But right at this time, there was a blur before Heavenly Sin''s eyes. He actually lost track of Ye Yuan.


    He was greatly alarmed in his heart, hurriedly pulling back the blade to save himself.


    Slap!


    A resounding slap reverberated throughout the sky, transmitting into everyone''s ears.


    Heavenly Sin''s body shot towards the ground like a cannonball, smashing out a large pit once more.


    Ning Siyu looked at this scene and said disdainfully, "Dumbass, even half-step Divine Lords aren''t Master Ye''s match. With the likes of your middling skills, you still wish to hack until him?"


    Swoosh!


    Heavenly Sin leaped up from the giant pit, black gas fluctuating on his body.


    He was already furious to the extreme and said with an angry yell, "Punk, I''m going to kill you, flay your skin, and pull out your tendons!"


    Another blade that startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep!


    However ��


    Slap!


    It was another resounding slap!


    Quite a number of people all unconsciously touched their faces, as if that slap was smacked onto their faces.


    Really painful!


    "Ahh, ahh, ahh, Ye Yuan! I''m going to kill you!" Heavenly Sin roared and charged over once more.


    Slap!


    Slap!


    Slap!


    One slap followed another. Ye Yuan''s movement was erratic.


    But with each slap, the sound was clear and audible.

 1579 Youre Simply a Devil!

    Heavenly Sin was yelling frenziedly in his heart, but he could not see Ye Yuan''s movement clearly at all.


    He could not even beg for mercy!


    Heavenly Sin had utterly collapsed!


    Just now, with Ye Yuan cutting off the Heavenly Dao, he thought that his chance had come.


    He was even mocking Ye Yuan in his heart.


    That instant, he looked forward to the future very much.


    But in a twinkle, Ye Yuan used his ridiculously inhumane strength and shattered his hopes to pieces.


    From being enormously proud of his success to despair, to when hope came again, to when hope was extinguished again.


    In this short while, his heart had experienced violent ups and downs that ordinary people found hard to imagine.


    At this time, his Dao heart was already close to breaking down.


    Suddenly, the slapping sounds were gone.


    Ye Yuan actually stopped slapping him!


    Everyone was dead silent. They were astounded by Ye Yuan''s strength.


    The middle-stage Origin Deity Ye Yuan actually beat the grand completion Origin Deity Heavenly Sin like a dog.


    Sure enough, it was still that familiar taste!


    Ye Yuan''s power did not need explanations at all.


    Only now did they know that their previous worries were completely superfluous.


    The only thing that they had to do was to believe in Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly Sin''s face already lost human form.


    All of the teeth in his mouth were knocked out, his face swollen heavily, his mouth was full of golden bloodstains, looking incomparably ugly.


    Ye Yuan used the power of laws. Naturally, it would not let his injuries be so easy to heal.


    He looked at the pig head-like Heavenly Sin and said coolly, "Just now, did you feel that you had hope again? You thought that me treating you and then cutting off the Heavenly Dao, you can dominate the Immortal Grove Region already, right? Very sorry, I let you down. I did it on purpose. Giving you hope amidst despair, then personally crushing this hope. This delight is truly unimaginable!"


    Heavenly Sin''s pupils constricted. He knew that Ye Yuan was simply toying with his feelings from start until now!


    Him wanting to kill Heavenly Sin was simply a matter of moving a fingertip.


    But he just did not!


    This kind of toying was even more humiliating than him being dumped after being toyed by women.


    He was a fool through and through, being toyed in Ye Yuan''s palm.


    He was sold by Ye Yuan and still counting money for Ye Yuan, overflowing with gratitude.


    "You �� You''re simply a devil!" Heavenly Sin gabbled.


    He really was in a desperate state and was really afraid!


    He boasted that he was already very evil, but in front of Ye Yuan''s means, it was simply like an apprentice in the presence of a great sorcerer.


    Except, he did not have the qualifications to play like this at all.


    Ye Yuan had a strength that he was unable to imagine. No matter how he wanted to play, he could play.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Devil? Heh heh, if you feel that I''m a devil, then that''s right! But if I tell you now that even though I sundered the Heavenly Dao, I can still mobilize it, what would you think?"


    Heavenly Sin''s pupils constricted and he cried out in shock, "I-Impossible!"


    Not just Heavenly Sin, the faces of everyone below all revealed shocked and disbelieving expressions.


    Already severed the fetters with the Heavenly Dao, how could he possibly control the power of the Heavenly Dao again?


    A faint smile hung on Ye Yuan''s face. Lightly tapping a finger out, the wind and clouds changed colors!


    "Puhwark!"


    In a blink of an eye, terrifying air billows struck Heavenly Sin, punching a large hole in his chest.


    The look in Heavenly Sin''s eyes showed that he was terrified to the extreme, his gaze full of disbelief.


    How was this possible?


    How was this possible!


    He could really mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao!


    Could it be that him sundering the Heavenly Dao earlier was just an illusion?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are you very surprised? Why am I still able to mobilize the Heavenly Dao when I''ve severed it?"


    Ye Yuan paused for a bit and said, "Sorry, this is a secret, I won''t tell you!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Heavenly Sin had anger rush to his heart and spewed out a large mouthful of blood again.


    The current Heavenly Sin was already an arrow at the end of its flight, only left with a final breath.


    Ye Yuan deliberately not killing him was in order to let him feel despair.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with pity, "Don''t ask why I''m so wicked. Want to blame someone, can only blame you for doing what you shouldn''t have done!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan pointed another finger out, directly destroying Heavenly Sin''s divine sea.


    "Ahh! My �� My divine sea!" Heavenly Sin screamed miserably.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Since you were suppressed for 300 thousand years and are still not dead, it shows that your vitality is very tenacious. Then, you should continue being suppressed!"


    Ye Yuan turned his palm over, directly slamming Heavenly Sin into the earth.


    The violent power of the Heavenly Dao poured into the sealed land frenziedly, sealing Heavenly Sin firmly underneath.


    Ye Yuan''s seal was more than a hundred times stronger than those people 300 thousand years ago.


    Even if his cultivation could recover, it was also impossible to break free from this sealed land.


    He would be sealed until death.


    Everything returned to tranquility. Everyone looked at that invincible figure high in the sky, somewhat unsure what they should say.


    A calamity that was sufficient to destroy the world was actually resolved by Ye Yuan so effortlessly.


    Furthermore, this guy was too capable in messing around, making their little hearts pound heavily.


    Ye Yuan made Heavenly Sin run around in circles, how was it also not keeping them on tenterhooks for half a day?


    But Fang Tian and the rest all knew why Ye Yuan did so. Heavenly Sin''s provocation made Ye Yuan become genuinely enraged, that was why he would toy with his opponent like so, crushing his opponent''s last trace of confidence.


    If it were another enemy, even if Ye Yuan killed the opponent, he would not torment him like this either.


    But Mu Lingxue''s death was originally Ye Yuan''s greatest regret in this life. Now, this Heavenly Sin was actually so blind, wanting to snatch Ye Yuan''s other lover, what was this if not seeking death?


    Ye Yuan''s figure flashed, arriving by Li-er''s side.


    He reached his hand out and lightly caressed Li-er''s face. For a moment, a multitude of feelings surged up.


    "Li-er, you became thinner." Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan understood that he barely escaped deaths in the Heavenspan World. Li-er also lived in constant fear and worry for a hundred years in the Immortal Grove World.


    These 100 years were not easy!


    Two rows of clear tears fell down, but Li-er forced herself to smile.


    Just now, she thought that she could no longer see Ye Yuan.


    She did not expect that at the final juncture, Ye Yuan actually returned to the Immortal Grove World miraculously.


    She shook her head hard and said, "Li-er ate well and slept well, I didn''t get thinner! Rather, it''s you who suffered considerable hardships in the Heavenspan World these few years, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You''re still so understanding. But the more you''re like this, the more I feel that I owe you!"


    Li-er shook her head hard again and said sobbingly, "Compared to Elder Sister Lingxue, what does my bit of hardship count as? Big Brother Yuan, you went to the Heavenspan World, have you found the method to save Elder Sister Lingxue?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Too difficult!"


    Li-er''s tears flowed down again involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan lightly pulled Li-er into his embrace, everything was conveyed without words.


    Liang Wanru could not hear what the two of them were saying. Seeing this scene from far away, her beautiful body involuntarily shuddered, tears flowing down unwittingly.


    She completely did not expect that in this small world, there was actually such a world-toppling visage.


    No wonder Big Brother Ye rejected her!

 1580 Lifting the Power of the Curse

    Inside the hidden chamber, brilliant colors were dancing, being incomparably dazzling.


    Fang Tian''s eyes gradually became bright, seemingly producing a trace of understanding.


    He discovered that a trace of bond was actually established between him and Heavenly Dao!


    This trace of bond made him feel that he was unbelievably powerful!


    Gradually, the luscious colors disappeared without a trace, returning to tranquility.


    Fang Tian looked at the Ye Yuan in front, the shock in his heart could not be any greater.


    Even though he examined himself and felt that his talent was peerless, to say becoming Heavenly Dao''s controller, it was still beyond his reach.


    But Ye Yuan actually helped him to establish a trace of bond between him and Heavenly Dao, making him become a controller!


    Just what kind of level had this kid reached?!


    "How in the world did you do it?" Fang Tian sucked in a deep breath and asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The World Suppressing Stele is even stronger than you imagine. It''s all thanks to the World Suppressing Stele that I have today''s accomplishment."


    He did not tell Fang Tian about the matter of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. It was not that he did not trust Fang Tian, but this kind of heaven-shocking secret, knowing it would not benefit him at all.


    Once the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was exposed, probably even Dao Ancestors would be moved.


    Knowing this kind of thing did not have any benefits to Fang Tian at all.


    Returning and encountering Heavenly Sin Heretic God this time made Ye Yuan realize many uncertain elements.


    Hence, he borrowed the power of the World Suppressing Stele and let Fang Tian become a new controller.


    No matter from which angle, Fang Tian was the most suitable candidate to become a controller.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Fang Tian could not help smiling bitterly and said, "Looks like the World Suppressing Stele was really wasted in my hands."


    Ever since after Heavenly Dao recovered, Fang Tian''s thick accumulations erupted, his realm soaring rapidly all the way like sitting on a rocket and already broke through to initial-stage Origin Deity, even catching up to the veteran grand completion Heaven Glimpse Skydistant.


    But he never dreamed that a short 100 years, not only had Ye Yuan already surpassed him in terms of realm, his true combat strength even rivaled half-step Divine Lord.


    This improvement speed simply made people wish to knock their heads and die.


    One had to know, he, Fang Tian, had accumulated for 50 thousand years before he had such astonishing cultivation speed.


    But Ye Yuan?


    Counting his previous life''s time, it was also merely a hasty several hundred years!


    By comparison, this disparity was seriously too great.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, the Immortal Grove Region''s matters will be left to you in the future. Returning this time, I''m going to bring Li-er, White Light, Fiery, they all away. After all, this place is just a small world. Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete and it''s too limited."


    Fang Tian nodded and said, "What you said is right! With their talent, it''s truly too wasteful to be in the Immortal Grove World. This old man is old and can''t endure more suffering. Otherwise, I''d definitely want to follow you together to the Heavenspan World."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured. After I gain a firm foothold in the Heavenspan World, I''ll naturally bring you and Senior Skydistant they all over."


    Fang Tian smiled and said, "Then I''ll wait for the arrival of this day! Coming back this time, how long are you planning on staying?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I can''t say for long. The Heavenspan World that side also has packs of wolves circling around! After I deal with the curse of the land of exile, I plan on leaving."


    Even though Ye Yuan was already the Pill Tower''s elder now, his appearance already aroused Head Elder''s fear.


    Also, that Deercry, Ye Yuan already offended him to the core, he would definitely think of ways to deal with him.


    Second Elder, his faction was weak to begin with, so Ye Yuan''s days in the future would not be very smooth.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse, mixed up amidst a bunch of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, the pressure was truly immense!


    But Fang Tian said in shock, "You can already lift the curse? Wasn''t it said that you have to wait until you reach the realm of the dragon race''s progenitor before you can lift the curse?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In the past, it''s like that. But now �� there''s no need."


    ...


    After Ye Yuan refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, his understanding of Heavenspan Mountain already far surpassed when he just became the controller back then.


    The Four Symbols Family Clans'' land of exile was merely a kind of Heavenly Dao sanction.


    With Ye Yuan''s present height, lifting this kind of curse power was easily accomplished.


    Outside the cold pool, the old ancestor was currently cultivating in closed-seclusion.


    Along with Heavenly Dao''s recovery, he already cultivated to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm presently.


    Suddenly, he snapped open his eyes, his eyes full of shock.


    "This �� How is this possible? The curse �� is lifted? Could it be that it''s the Progenitor who returned?"


    He swiftly got up and sprinted over towards the cold pool, his figure abruptly stopping.


    A gentle and graceful middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the cold lake.


    The old ancestor''s face revealed a joyous smile and said, "Jun-er, it''s been so many years, you finally recovered! Yuan-er will definitely be unbelievably happy to see you like this!"


    This middle-aged madam was precisely Ye Yuan''s mother, Ao Jun.


    The current Ao Jun already completely recovered her youth, as if time had flowed backward.


    Ao Jun''s face was full of puzzlement as she said, "Ancestor, what''s going on? Apart from the progenitor, could it be that there''s still someone who can lift the power of the curse?"


    The ancestor shook his head and said, "I don''t know either! I was thinking just now could it be that the progenitor is back! He took pity on our generations of entrapment suffering and specially came to rescue us from the sea of suffering?"


    Ao Jun said, "No way, right?! Wasn''t it said that the progenitor is already missing for several million years and there''s completely no news at all?"


    The old ancestor smiled and said, "Don''t think too much first! Either way, it''s a good thing. Everyone is definitely over the moon. Let''s go out and take a look!"


    At the same time, the land of exile was in jubilation.


    They sensed the curse power on their bodies disappear, each and every one ecstatic until they virtually went nuts.


    Cheers and jubilation reverberated in the air of the land of exile.


    The old ancestor and Ao Jun two people came out of the cave. They saw a young man slowly walk over.


    "Yuan-er! Didn''t you go to the Heavenspan World? How could you be here?" The two people practically exclaimed almost in unison.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze landed on Ao Jun and could not help feeling very warm.


    After a time interval of many years, he could finally help his mother escape the sea of suffering.


    The old ancestor suddenly recalled something, his face revealing a look of disbelief as he cried out in shock, "Could it be �� Could it be that the land of exile''s curse was lifted by you?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, Mother, the world is so vast. In the future, the land of exile''s Four Symbols Family Clans can go wherever they want, nobody can stop them!"


    The old ancestor''s entire body trembled and he said, "It''s really you! You �� How did you do it? You''re just �� mn? You �� You''re already at the middle-stage Origin Deity Realm?"


    The ancestor drew a cold breath, being shocked by Ye Yuan until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    This cultivation speed was a little too horrifying, right?


    Rather, it was Ao Jun who had a look of pride and relief all over her face.


    She did not think that her son was actually so remarkable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I obtained some fortuitous encounters in the Heavenspan World. Now, breaking this curse isn''t considered a big deal."


    The old ancestor was speechless. This kid said it really lightly.


    One had to know, in the era where Heavenly Dao flourished, the land of exile had also once produced quite a number of major powers.


    But they worked hard for countless generations and were also unable to break out of this place.


    But Ye Yuan only went out for a hundred years'' time and lifted the power of the curse.

 1581 Probing

    "Yuan-er, are you leaving now?"


    Ao Jun gripped Ye Yuan''s palm tightly, very reluctant to part with the latter.


    They finally managed to lift the curse, and she could have a heart-to-heart talk with her son. But her son was about to leave straight away.


    Ye Yuan already accompanied her in the land of exile for as long as a month, but he ultimately still had to bid farewell.


    Ao Jun already knew the news of Ji Zhengyang''s death. These few days, she had always been dejected.


    Ye Yuan comforted along with Li-er before placating Ao Jun.


    "Mother, your child owes Lingxue too much. These few years, I''ve always been living in self-blame. Not being able to save her a day earlier, I find it hard to set my mind at ease!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Finally he managed to reunite with his mother. So he did not wish to leave straight away either.


    But the Heavenspan World still had many things waiting for him. He could not delay too much time either.


    Seeing his mother''s reluctant appearance, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your child has magic treasures in his possession now. Hence, entering and exiting spatial turbulent flows are very easy. In the future, as long as I''m free, I''ll come back to see you!"


    The old ancestor also said by the side, "Good men have far-reaching ambitions. Since he knows that there''s a broader world outside, why should he remain in this small corner?"


    Hearing the old ancestor said so, Ao Jun could not have the heart to delay Ye Yuan. She knew she could not let him stay any further. So she said with an embarrassed smile, "Yuan-er, mother knows that it wasn''t easy for you to walk this entire way. You have got to be more careful in the Heavenspan World!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will!"


    Leaving the land of exile, Ye Yuan took a trip to Kunwu Divine Wood there again.


    Seeing Kunwu again at this time, Ye Yuan felt the former was even more unfathomable. This made him greatly astonished inwardly.


    Just what realm was this Kunwu Divine Wood?!


    Ye Yuan was shocked, but actually, Kunwu was even more shocked than him.


    Recalling that time when Ye Yuan left back then, Kunwu was a hundred times pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    Who could have thought that after a hundred years went by, and then when he returned again, Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Origin Deity like flying.


    Furthermore, he distinctly sensed that Ye Yuan sundered Heavenly Dao and was actually still able to mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao. This was simply unimaginable.


    "You brat, how in the world did you do it?" Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan and said in shock.


    Ye Yuan''s battle with Heavenly Sin, Kunwu was naturally all aware.


    At that time, he surprised him considerably.


    Dustless''s figure flashed out and he said with a smile, "Old Kun, you and I both made an error in judgment! This kid''s potential is much stronger than Old Fart Immortal Grove!"


    Kunwu''s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, "How so?"


    Dustless stroked his beard and said with a smile, "What Immortal Grove has done, he accomplished it. What Immortal Grove didn''t achieve, he has also done it. I''m very much looking forward to what kind of height he can attain in the future."


    Kunwu''s pupils constricted and he said in shock, "If Old Fart Immortal Grove didn''t fall, Heavenly Emperor Realm is attainable! Could it be that this kid still has the possibility of reaching the realm of Transcendent Heavenly Emperor?"


    Dustless smiled and did not speak, stifling Kunwu until he felt even more confused.


    Ye Yuan originally wanted to see if he could invite Kunwu to come out of retirement, but he discovered that even if the current Heavenly Dao had recovered a lot, it still could not bear a level of existence like Kunwu. So Ye Yuan could only drop the matter.


    After finishing settling everything, Ye Yuan brought Li-er, White Light, Fiery, Lu-er, four people, and entered the spatial turbulent flow once more.


    Over 100 years had passed, these few people''s strengths had also made great progress.


    Li-er, White Light, and Fiery three people''s constitutions were special. At this time, they were already all Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.


    Even Lu-er had already reached grand completion Grotto Profound as well, just one step away from being able to break through to Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    These few people were going to the Heavenspan World and had excited looks too, grabbing Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru, asking non-stop, just like four curious babies.


    Staying for such a long time in the Immortal Grove World, Liang Wanru already knew why Ye Yuan would stay such a respectful distance away from her.


    Nothing to do with looks!


    He was unable to even give a promise to Li-er, let alone her?


    This way, Liang Wanru became much more open-minded, her entire person also becoming significantly more cheerful.


    But Ye Yuan came to Little Fatty''s side and said with a smile, "This trip, did you get any harvest?"


    Little Fatty gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a sigh, "Really can''t imagine, even you had such a sorrowful past too."


    This place was Ye Yuan''s hometown, Little Fatty and the rest were naturally very curious about Ye Yuan''s past matters.


    Only upon inquiry did they know that Ye Yuan suffered his brother''s betrayal in his previous life, and met with his father being killed.


    Later, he also encountered his beloved burning her divine soul this kind of thing.


    It seemed like his misfortune was not worth mentioning compared to Ye Yuan at all.


    If not for hearing these things with his own ears, he completely could not imagine that a happy-go-lucky person like Ye Yuan actually had such a past.


    He also finally understood Ye Yuan''s painstaking efforts.


    Recalling things in his heart and asking himself, if he had Ye Yuan''s experiences, he would probably have long become a madman who was homicidal.


    But Ye Yuan did not blame heaven and other people.


    He relied on his own efforts and walked step by step, taking revenge for his father and seeking a lease of life for his beloved.


    How much willpower did this require?!


    Ye Yuan doing so much was simply to let him pull himself together anew.


    Little Fatty looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, his face revealing a long-lost smile and said, "Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "That''s more like it! Seeing your wretched smile, I knew that that little fatty is back again!"


    ...


    Inside the Pill Tower, Deercry was currently denouncing Ye Yuan harshly to Head Elder Rou Xu.


    "Head Elder, what capability does this brat have, how can he suddenly become an elder?! A Three-star Alchemy God becoming a Pill Tower''s elder, wouldn''t it incur people''s ridicule if it spreads? ..."


    Head Elder listened quietly, his face not having any expressions, no joy nor sorrow.


    When Deercry finished, Rou Xu mused for a moment before slowly saying, "This matter was directly decided by the higher-ups, so even I don''t know all the details too! I ask you, how''s that kid''s strength?"


    Deercry said indignantly, "Bah! What strength can he have? In my view, he''s deliberately mystifying things to look mysterious! He, a Three-star Alchemy God, can give pointers to Lu Yi? Saying it also got to have people believe it too! I''m sure that this is merely Xuan Yu deliberately setting a deceptive battle array to mislead the enemy! Lu Yi must have had a breakthrough long ago and kept it secret all the way, waiting to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat in the Pill Tower''s competition this time! It''s just that as luck would have it, this was encountered by me and they set up a trap, ensnaring me inside!"


    Until now, Deercry did not believe that Ye Yuan could give pointers to Lu Yi to refine a high-grade Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill.


    This kind of thing was completely illogical.


    Head Elder''s brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Your meaning is that this kid is merely a chess piece of Xuan Yu, used to delude us?"


    Deercry nodded and said, "Apart from this kind of situation, I can''t think of other possibilities at all! However, Head Elder, you have to be careful. Xuan Yu might have had considerable breakthroughs in Alchemy Dao recently. That Purple Quill Marrow Extermination''s poison, I heard that it''s incurable, but he borrowed Ye Yuan''s hands and dealt with it!"


    Head Elder could not help musing. Ye Yuan''s appearance had indeed disrupted all of his arrangements.


    But he had to admit that Deercry''s concerns were very reasonable.


    It could not be denied that this Ye Yuan definitely had some strength. Otherwise, Xuan Yu would not have picked him either.


    But to say that Ye Yuan was heaven-defying to the extent where he could give pointers to a Four-star Alchemy God, he did not believe.


    "This matter was directly decided by the higher-ups, I can''t say anything either. How much ability that Ye Yuan has, we''ll know with a try! The Pill Tower competition this time, you personally go and challenge him!" Head Elder suddenly said.

 1582 Blocking the Door and Provoking

    "Elder Ye! Protector Lin!"


    "Paying respects to Elder Ye! Paying respects to Protector Lin!"


    Upon entering the inner city, there were quite a number of people who took the initiative to come up and greet Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan discerned dissatisfaction and disdain from their eyes.


    Their greetings always brought Protector Lin up in passing.


    Clearly, in their eyes, Lin Dong was even more not to be offended than Ye Yuan this elder.


    A mere Three-star Alchemy God, if a wall in the inner city fell and crushed over ten people, there would be three or four Three-star Alchemy Gods among them.


    The rest were all Origin Deity Realm martial artists.


    Hence, this incomprehensible designation made these people very unwilling to submit to this situation.


    The moment Ye Yuan took office, he brought Lin Dong to immediately go and take revenge. Many people had never even seen before this newly-appointed Pill Tower elder.


    But they recognized by the fact that Lin Dong had someone beside him, so this ridiculously young fellow must be Ye Yuan.


    "Elder Ye, this ��" But Lin Dong by the side was uneasy and said awkwardly.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "Protector Lin doesn''t have to nervous. This kind of situation, I''ve long expected it. How can I vent it on you? The best way to make other people shut up is to use strength to conquer him. Rage, this kind of emotion, will only make others look down on you and can''t make others regard you highly."


    Lin Dong opened his mouth wide, not expecting that Ye Yuan would say such words.


    Was this Elder Ye really only a hundred over years old?


    Why did he sound so lacking in youthful vigor when speaking? Instead, he was seemingly extremely insightful?


    Logically speaking, for Ye Yuan to have such a high status and such means at a young age, he should more or less be somewhat arrogant and flippant.


    But he completely could not see this kind of emotion from Ye Yuan.


    What he could see, there were only maturity and prudence, holding the pearl of wisdom in his hands.


    The group of people walked slowly and arrived at Ye Yuan''s manor in the inner city very quickly.


    Suddenly, a large group of people poured out of both sides of the street, blocking the front door tightly.


    But among these people, there wasn''t even a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse. They were actually all Origin Deity Realm youths.


    Their age were generally the same as Ning Siyu.


    Lin Dong''s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, "Song Qiyang, do you all want to rebel?"


    The one in the lead was young and handsome, his strength already half-step Divine Lord.


    But Song Qiyang was indifferent and said coolly, "Protector Lin, we know where your duties lie. But, if this person is going to become a Pill Tower elder, I, Song Qiyang, am the first to be unconvinced! Juniors, are you all convinced?"


    "Unconvinced!"


    "We''re unconvinced!"


    "If a Three-star Alchemy God can be an elder, wouldn''t our Pill Tower become a joke?"


    "Yeah, I''m a Three-star Alchemy God too, then can I be an elder as well?"


    ...


    The group of people chirped, emotions running high. There were some among them who were agitated until their face reddened to the ears, clearly unconvinced about Ye Yuan to the max.


    Legends were legends after all. The inner city, apart from Xuan Yu master and disciples few people, no one had seen Ye Yuan take action before at all.


    Hence, to make these Three-star Alchemy Gods believe how formidable Ye Yuan was, it was exceedingly difficult.


    The position of an elder was what only some late-stage Divine Lord big shots could take on.


    A Three-star Alchemy God brat, on what basis?


    Lin Dong was angered until he gnashed his teeth. This bunch of guys was too blatant and brazen, to actually dare come and call an elder into question!


    This kind of thing had never happened before in the history of the Pill Tower.


    There were no less than a hundred people present. They were all the Pill Tower''s young generation''s most elite geniuses.


    There were quite a few people who were even the disciples of the Pill Tower''s elders and deacons.


    This Song Qiyang was Head Elder''s personal disciple, and he was also the number one person among the Pill Tower''s Three-star disciples.


    His strength could virtually be said to sweep across all those in the same rank.


    Rank three divine pills that many others did not even dare to think about, he could refine successfully.


    Even Head Elder himself also frequently praised that Song Qiyang was more than a hundred times stronger than when he was young!


    Toward this disciple, he was rather satisfied.


    Head Elder''s doting also gave rise to Song Qiyang''s condescending personality.


    How could ordinary people be able to enter his sight?


    Now, he heard that a Three-star Alchemy God actually became a Pill Tower elder. How could he, this fellow who was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, endure this kind of thing happening?


    Of course, Song Qiyang was not a fool either. He knew that rashly offending an elder was a serious crime.


    The die was already cast, so he was not allowed to be unbridled.


    Hence, he pulled in a large number of rank three disciples and came to block Ye Yuan''s door.


    As the saying went, the law did not punish the masses. These disciples who came today, their backers were all rather tough.


    Presumably, Ye Yuan did not dare to do anything to them.


    "Are you all done making a din?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Song Qiyang sneered and said, "Elder Ye, if you want to become an elder, you have to take out the ability to convince us! Today, I, Song Qiyang, represent rank three disciples to challenge you! Do you dare to accept the challenge or not?"


    Song Qiyang was valiant, an appearance of fearing nothing and no one.


    The moment these words were said, even Lin Dong''s eyes revealed a hint of interest.


    Honestly speaking, the higher-ups sent him to become Ye Yuan''s follower. But he really did not know how powerful Ye Yuan was.


    Meanwhile, Song Qiyang was undoubtedly a benchmark figure among Three-star Alchemy Gods.


    Using him to set the standard was clearly the best fit.


    With this in mind, Lin Dong immediately realized that today''s matter was probably not that simple.


    Ye Yuan as an elder, defeating Song Qiyang was also nothing much.


    But if he lost, that was losing all standing and reputation. Even Second Elder would be implicated.


    This matter definitely had someone pulling the strings behind it!


    He could not help looking at Ye Yuan, wanting to see how he would deal with it.


    Who knew that at this time, Ye Yuan just happened to look over toward him and said coolly, "Protector Lin, throw them all out for me. Don''t let them block my path here."


    The moment these words came out, all of the rank three disciples'' faces changed.


    Song Qiyang sneered even harder and said, "It turns out that the newly-appointed Elder Ye is merely a pillow with an embroidered case and don''t even dare to accept the challenge of a rank three disciple! This matter, I''ll definitely report it to the Pill Tower and say that the newly-appointed Elder Ye is completely unworthy of his title! Don''t you all say so, juniors?"


    The way the other disciples saw it, Ye Yuan''s way of avoiding was clearly already being afraid of getting found out.


    "Yeah, a Three-star Alchemy God, what right does he have to become a Pill Tower elder?"


    "Don''t even dare to accept the challenge of us disciples, he has a guilty conscience!"


    "This guy is simply a liar, to actually even become an elder in a grand manner. The Pill Tower must severely punish him."


    ...


    Song Qiyang was pleased with himself inwardly. He reached a conclusion after weighing it and felt that he already probed Ye Yuan''s actual ability.


    This guy must be afraid of getting found out!


    It looked like Deacon Deercry''s analysis was very reasonable. This Ye Yuan was merely a person who Second Elder brought out to divert attention!


    "Protector Lin, what are you still waiting for? Could it be that �� you want me to personally take action?" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Lin Dong''s expression was somewhat conflicted. After all, this guy was Head Elder''s disciple!


    Seeing that Lin Dong did not dare to make a move, Song Qiyang was even more smug as he said, "My Elder Ye, do you dare to go to the Elders Association with me to confront each other? Your strength completely isn''t fit for this position as an elder!"


    Swoosh!


    Song Qiyang was being pleased with himself, but then he saw a blur before his eyes, and he was thrown straight out.

 1583 Trample Flat for Me

    Song Qiyang landed face to the ground and slid more than a hundred feet away from his original spot before stopping.


    This throw was hurled beautifully.


    Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the Song Qiyang who was thrown in a wretched manner, thinking that their eyesight was failing.


    Song Qiyang was a half-step Divine Lord. He actually could not even retaliate and was directly thrown flying by Ye Yuan?


    "Ouch! You �� You dare to throw me?" Song Qiyang gave a painful cry and yelled.


    In this inner city, even ordinary elders and deacons also did not dare to treat him like this!


    Disregarding that this kid was swindling others with false ability, Ye Yuan actually even dared to throw him like this?


    Most importantly, he was completely unprepared just now, that was why Ye Yuan''s sneak attack succeeded.


    If it came to the real thing, he was absolutely not afraid of Ye Yuan!


    But the problem was, he already lost all face in front of a group of juniors.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked toward Lin Dong rather coldly, and the latter felt a chill in his heart. A powerful pressure instantly pierced his heart!


    Lin Dong felt that it was very inconceivable. An Origin Deity Realm actually brought such a powerful sense of oppression to him.


    This kind of feeling was extremely absurd.


    Was it because of his identity as an elder?


    Lin Dong did not know, but he knew that Elder Ye was unhappy with him already.


    He did not carry out Elder Ye''s order staunchly.


    But earlier, Ye Yuan did not even dare to accept Song Qiyang''s challenge. Did he really have the strength to become an elder?


    Lin Dong could not help hesitating in his heart.


    If he were to take action today, it would be offending Head Elder badly.


    Dealing with Qin Xiao that kind of weakling, he naturally did not care.


    But Head Elder, what kind of high-ranking figure was that?


    "Get lost!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice was akin to thunder, suppressing everyone all at once, and they actually unconsciously divided and opened up a path.


    Ye Yuan brought Li-er and the rest and slowly walked over from the middle.


    Only when Ye Manor''s front door closed did they abruptly startle awake.


    "Why did I move aside just now?"


    "This �� This isn''t right! My strength is stronger than him, why would I be scared of him?"


    Everyone was working it out one after another in their hearts. They all could not understand why they would be scared by Ye Yuan.


    Lin Dong stood there very awkwardly. He knew that Ye Yuan not bringing him along indicated that Ye Yuan was already very unhappy with him.


    Giving a bitter laugh, Lin Dong turned around and left.


    When mighty gods clashed, little ghosts suffered.


    Lin Dong had never thought that he would become a ''little ghost'' in front of an Origin Deity Realm one day.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Song, what �� what should we do now?" someone asked Song Qiyang softly.


    Song Qiyang roared, "Go back! What else can we do? Do you want to barge into an elder''s residence without any authorization? That is a serious crime!"


    Song Qiyang looked at Ye Manor''s front door and said hatefully, "There''s still a few days to the Pill Tower''s competition. I''ll see when he can be cocky until! When the time comes, I''ll make him reveal his true colors! Humph!"


    ...


    The Ye Manor was a mansion that the Pill Tower prepared for Ye Yuan. It occupied an extremely large area in the inner city.


    The elders'' allotments were top-notch in the inner city.


    "Hehe, Master Ye, you were really too cool just now! Song Qiyang that guy, his eyes are at the top of his head. I''ve long found him an eyesore," the moment they entered, Ning Siyu said with a desire to see the world plunged into chaos.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "They went against their superior. For me to not punish their crimes, it''s already being very nice to them."


    Ning Siyu scoffed and said with a smile, "Then do you know who that person you threw just now was?"


    From start to end, Ye Yuan did not recognize Song Qiyang and also did not know what background he had.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "He''s the head elder''s people, right? Furthermore, looking at his appearance, his status isn''t low."


    Ning Siyu opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "How did you know?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I guessed it!"


    Ning Siyu gave a thumbs up and praised, "Indeed worthy of being Master Ye! Since you already guessed it, you actually still dared to make him lose face in front of so many juniors?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It''s because of your master''s strong recommendation that I could become an elder. Do you think that if I were friendly to him, their group of people would let me off?"


    Ning Siyu could not help choking and said, "Makes sense! But if I were to say, you should have agreed to him earlier and teach him a good lesson! Let him know what''s called there''s always someone better! Additionally, you can also demonstrate your strength, this newly-appointed elder."


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Most likely, Lin Dong thinks so as well! However �� what qualifications does he have to make me go take action and teach him a lesson? Winning against him, I don''t get anything. If lose �� uh �� that''s impossible."


    "Pffft"


    The few people around were tickled by Ye Yuan.


    Yeah, how could Ye Yuan possibly lose to Song Qiyang?


    But laughing for a while, Ning Siyu said, "But if like this, outsiders will say even more stuff than your strength being inadequate to take on the position of elder. Most likely, Head Elder will take this chance to take action!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Even if I need to take action, that''s also not me taking action. In the Pill Tower''s competition, you have to viciously slap that punk for me!"


    Ning Siyu got a fright and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I can''t, I can''t! You aren''t aware of this just because Song Qiyang isn''t anything in your eyes. But in my eyes, that''s a mighty divinity-like existence. In the realm of Three-star Alchemy God, he''s practically undefeatable!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "Undefeatable? Hur hur, who dares to say that they are undefeatable in this world? Even the Medicine Ancestor, that kind of existence, even if he has no precedents, who can guarantee that there wouldn''t be anyone who can repeat it? After breaking through to the Dao Realm, I feel my own insignificance even more. What does he count as?"


    Ning Siyu was speechless and said, "Talk is cheap for you! Reaching your realm, of course you can say whatever you want. But I''m really not his match."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax, starting from today, I''ll give you special training for ten days! After ten days, you have to trample that Song Qiyang''s face flat for me!"


    ...


    "Mn? Lin Dong, didn''t I arrange for you to go be Elder Ye''s follower? Why did you come back?"


    After Lin Dong left, he went all the way back to the Martial Tower.


    He ruminated along the way and did not notice that there was someone. Lifting his head to take a look, it was precisely the Deacon Feng Yuhai who arranged his mission this time.


    Seeing the other party ask, Lin Dong could not help smiling bitterly and said, "I probably can''t become his follower any longer!"


    Feng Yuhai''s brows raised up and he said in puzzlement, "What''s going on? Do you know, this duty is what many people are fighting for!"


    Being a Pill Tower elder''s follower was not just about glory, it was also a ladder to ensure one''s own strength steadily rose higher!


    A Pill Tower elder casually refining a few medicinal pills when he was happy could let the follower digest for decades to a century.


    This kind of task, there were naturally many people fighting for it.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s strength was still weak, he was strongly recommended by Second Elder.


    Even if he could not refine rank four divine pills, making Second Elder take action, that could work too.


    Lin Dong was helpless and could only recount the scene that happened in front of Ye Yuan''s door, making Feng Yuhai''s brows knit together tightly.


    He sighed and said, "This was also hard on you. According to what you said, that Elder Ye might really be a chess piece pushed out by Second Elder. This matter, don''t take part if you can choose not to take part then!"

 1584 Is There Still Regard for Pecking Order?

    The Pill Tower competition was the Pill Tower''s grandest event.


    From disciples to elders, they all had to take part, competing for a spot to enter the Pill Tower.


    The Pill Tower was a faction of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, and also a cultivation tower that everyone yearned for. The Martial Tower was likewise so.


    Each Pill Tower competition, in order to fight for the spot to enter the Pill Tower, the elders would also crack their heads.


    Pill Martial Twin Towers were the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s most beautiful structures. The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, no matter from which angle, one could see the twin towers that towered into the clouds side by side.


    At this time, below the Pill Tower, people assembled on an enormous plaza.


    The Pill Tower competition and Martial Tower competition were both major events that involved the inner city as well as the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s future direction. The attention paid was naturally extremely high.


    Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "You guys, quickly look! The elders are out!"


    A corner of the plaza close to the Pill Tower had a very high grandstand built temporarily. This was specially prepared for the elders.


    Even those deacons did not have the qualifications to sit here either.


    At this time, the elders entered in a single file, each finding their seats and taking it.


    Deercry was so angry in his heart!


    The others sitting on top, he was convinced of their qualifications.


    But this Ye Yuan made him as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    With this, he really ran on top of his head to shit and pee.


    "You all, look, that''s the newly-appointed Elder Ye Yuan, so young!"


    "More than just young! He''s simply a little kid, alright? Many Pill Tower''s Three-star Alchemy God disciples are hundreds of years older than him!"


    "Tsk tsk, truly, you can''t judge a man by his looks! It''s just, no idea how his true standard is. I heard that he refused Song Qiyang''s challenge."


    "Heh, scared, right? Now, everyone says that he''s the chess piece pushed out by Second Elder, I think it''s most likely the case."


    "Yeah, such a little kid, he can have the qualifications to be an elder? Isn''t that nonsense?!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan appearing in the ranks of the group of elders truly seemed somewhat glaring.


    Compared to the other elders, he was somewhat ridiculously young.


    Even the vast majority of the disciples were much older than Ye Yuan.


    This kind of situation occurring, it naturally made many people feel very off in their hearts.


    Of course, the one who felt the most off-balance was Song Qiyang.


    He looked at Ye Yuan below, sneering unceasingly in his heart.


    You just be smug then. Today, I''m going to challenge you in front of everybody! I don''t believe that you can avoid and not a battle! Song Qiyang sneered coldly in his heart.


    All preparations in place, Song Qiyang slowly stepped out of the ranks and said to Rou Xu with clasped hands, "Head Elder, I heard that the newly-appointed Elder Ye''s alchemy strength is formidable. This disciple is untalented and wants to seek guidance from him. There are quite a few disciples present, I think everyone wants to witness Elder Ye''s elegant bearing. Just take it as �� giving the competition this time a warm-up!"


    Everyone clearly did not expect that Song Qiyang actually played this move, challenging Ye Yuan in front of so many people. If Ye Yuan still did not accept the challenge, it probably could not be justified, right?


    However, they also indeed looked forward to it very much, at just how Ye Yuan''s true strength was.


    For a moment, all gazes turned toward Ye Yuan, wanting to see how he would cope with the present situation.


    Rou Xu looked at Ye Yuan meaningfully and said, "Elder Ye, right now in the imperial city, the criticism toward you numbered quite a lot! There are quite a few people who say that you''re young and lacking to take on the position of elder. Some also say that you''re just a Three-star Alchemy God and aren''t worthy of being an elder. Why not take this chance and show some ability for everyone?"


    These two people sang in chorus, directly forcing Ye Yuan to the corner.


    Quite a few elders, deacons, and protectors were all watching the joke. After all, Ye Yuan coming into existence so sudden made them very unconvinced.


    "Yeah, Elder Ye, show some skill and also let us broaden our horizons!"


    "Elder Ye enjoys success at a young age. He definitely has areas where he surpasses others. Why not take this chance and let us learn!"


    The group of deacons and protectors craved for the world to be plunged into chaos, all concurring.


    Second Elder did not like to fight and had always been ostracized by Head Elder.


    The deacons and protectors present, the majority were Head Elder''s people. They were naturally here to watch the joke.


    Ye Yuan sneered in his heart and suddenly asked, "Head Elder, this Song Qiyang is your disciple, right?"


    Rou Xu nodded and said, "That''s right."


    Ye Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Head Elder, this disciple of yours is also too ignorant of the rules! The matter a few days ago, I presume that Head Elder wouldn''t be unaware, right? A mere Three-star disciple, what right does he have to come and challenge this elder? Today, in front of so many people, he just said those words a little nicer. Is this wanting to force me to abdicate? Head Elder, with this precedent today, then what prestige would all the elders present still have in the future?"


    Song Qiyang could not help choking, his face flushing red.


    Similarly Three-star Alchemy God, he was even two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan. But his single rebuttal trampled him dead.


    The difference in status was too great.


    Ye Yuan suddenly making things difficult for him caught Rou Xu by surprise.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan, a young man, actually knew bureaucratic play and trickery, pressing people with circumstances.


    Even though these words sounded like avoidance no matter what, he really could not find words to refute.


    If according to realm, Song Qiyang was more than plenty to challenge Ye Yuan.


    But according to status, Song Qiyang was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan!


    Saying these words today was disobeying one''s superiors in itself.


    But this way, Rou Xu was even more convinced that Ye Yuan was definitely an embroidered pillow, not daring to accept the challenge.


    Rou Xu''s reaction was quick as well, immediately giving Deercry a look.


    Deercry understood, got up, and said, "Ye Yuan, I wonder if this old man has the qualifications to challenge you?"


    "Insolence!" The moment his voice faded, Ye Yuan immediately launched an attack and said in a cold voice, "Who the hell are you, to dare directly call this elder by name?"


    Deercry''s face turned into the color of pig liver. Being said like this by a little boy who was not even old enough to be his grandson, he was really going crazy!


    Deercry relied on that he was Rou Xu''s confidant and normally did not take ordinary elders seriously either, directly calling them by their names.


    His seniority was even older than those elders. Taking advantage of his seniority a bit, no one dared to say anything either.


    Who knew that today, Ye Yuan actually directly used this to shoot.


    Ye Yuan had a grim look and said to Rou Xu, "Head Elder, I think our Pill Tower should be reorganized properly. Is there still any regard for pecking order? Why not �� I propose to have an elders meeting and discuss this problem well, and come up with a solution?"


    Rou Xu had not opened his mouth yet when the Xuan Yu who had his eyes shut to rest the entire time suddenly spoke up.


    "Mn, this pecking order should be discussed properly." Finished talking, he shut his eyes again, as if he did not say anything.


    The moment Second Elder opened his mouth, the weight of the speech was different.


    With today''s matter as the pretext, having an elders meeting did not seem to be inappropriate.


    Head Elder''s lineage was used to playing the tyrant and did not place the other elders in their sights at all. The concept of pecking order had actually long weakened already.


    This naturally could not scare Rou Xu. But it made Rou Xu secretly become alert in his heart.


    This Ye Yuan was not easy to deal with!


    This kid had a completely different style than Xuan Yu, very troublesome!


    Suddenly, Rou Xu opened his mouth and said, "Deacon Deercry, why haven''t you apologized to Elder Ye?"

 1585 Competing on Fire Control

    Deercry was furious!


    His old face could be said to not give face to anyone except Head Elder.


    He did not expect that today, he actually had to lower his head to a little brat!


    But if he did not lower his head now, it was equivalent to challenging the entire Elders Association.


    This crime, he could not undertake it.


    If it really blew up, he absolutely could not gain anything!


    Deercry gritted his teeth and said, "E-Elder Ye, just now, it was Deercry who was impetuous. E-Elder Ye, please don''t take offense!"


    When he said ''Elder Ye'' two words, he felt goosebumps breaking out all over his body. It was truly uncomfortable all over.


    When the others saw this scene, there was an indescribable peculiarity.


    Deercry was old until he was almost entering the coffin, but he extended a formal apology to such a young elder. There was an indescribable sense of discordance.


    "Mn, looking on account of Head Elder''s face, I''ll spare you this time! If you were to offend again next time, you''ll be punished with due severity according to the Pill Tower''s rules!" Ye Yuan had a very magnanimous appearance, really like he was lecturing a junior.


    This kid even went along with it!


    Deercry snorted coldly and said, "Elder Ye, I''m seeking your advice today to liven things up for the Pill Tower''s competition, how about it?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''re merely a deacon, so what qualifications do you have to come and seek advice from me?"


    The moment these words came out, a wave of boos came from below.


    Clearly, they already put up with Ye Yuan''s approach of avoidance to the extreme.


    Always using the identity of an elder to come and pressure people, it was also very hard to convince the masses.


    When Deercry saw this scene, he could not help being overjoyed in his heart.


    Deercry smiled coldly and said, "Heh heh, Elder Ye is merely a Three-star Alchemy God, no matter how lacking this old man is, I''m also a middle-rank Four-star Alchemy God. Could it be that I''m not qualified to be your opponent? Or is it that you''re simply holding a post without real qualifications and don''t dare to accept the challenge at all?"


    Facing the booing, Ye Yuan did not care at all and said disdainfully, "If I can''t even win you, then what qualifications do I have to be an elder? Forget it, since you all want to witness this elder''s strength, then I''ll satisfy you all."


    Deercry revealed a look of surprise. He even thought that Ye Yuan was going to be stubborn until the end and prepared a whole bunch of narratives.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually agreed.


    "Huhu, then Elder Ye please advise," Deercry clasped his hands and said with a smile.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan could win him at all. If he could not even win a Three-star Alchemy God, this lifetime was also in vain.


    However, Ye Yuan said, "When did I say that I was going to compete with you?"


    Deercry froze but saw Ye Yuan clasp his hands at Rou Xu and said, "Head Elder, ever since entering the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this Ye heard that your Alchemy Dao is exceedingly formidable. No one can beat you in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. This Ye is untalented and wants to challenge Head Elder today. I wonder �� how does Head Elder feel about it?"


    Everyone was dumbfounded, this boy was going to challenge Head Elder?


    He was crazy, right?!


    The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, apart from Second Elder, there was actually still someone who dared to challenge Head Elder!


    Head Elder and Second Elder were pinnacle existences in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    They were the absolute leading echelon of Alchemy Dao!


    The other elders were not on the same level as the two of them at all.


    A measly little Three-star Alchemy God actually dared to directly challenge Head Elder!


    Only an imperceptible faint smile flashed across the corners of Second Elder Xuan Yu''s mouth.


    He suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan''s appearance was simply a gospel to him.


    The things that he was good at, Ye Yuan was more skilled.


    The things that he was not good at, Ye Yuan was adept too!


    Most likely, everyone would think that Ye Yuan was overestimating his own ability. But he knew that Ye Yuan facing off with Rou Xu, he would definitely completely trounce the other party!


    He and Rou Xu fought for so many years, he was all too clear about Rou Xu''s strength.


    This move of Ye Yuan''s was truly too brilliant!


    If Rou Xu agreed, he would definitely lose.


    At that time, Rou Xu''s face would be swept clean.


    If Rou Xu capitalized on his identity and did not agree, Ye Yuan could also take advantage of it and shake off the other party''s pestering.


    If Rou Xu was smart, he should not stalemate with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Otherwise, he would die very horribly today.


    Rou Xu also froze and immediately laughed and said, "Oh? Elder Ye actually wants to challenge this old man? Huhu, truly the young are fearless! If this old man avoids it and did not battle with you, it would probably dampen everyone''s spirits today. Fine, this old man agrees!"


    Xuan Yu looked at Rou Xu rather surprisedly but immediately shut his eyes again.


    Courting death oneself, then it could not be helped.


    "Head Elder actually agreed!"


    "To be able to see Head Elder personally take action, it''s truly hard to come by!"


    "Haha, that kid thought that Head Elder would relent because of his identity and won''t fuss about it with him. Yet, Head Elder agreed!"


    ...


    Many people from Head Elder''s faction were all mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his ability and also looked forward to Head Elder taking action very much.


    Rou Xu and Ye Yuan''s pill battle could naturally only refine Three-star divine pills.


    And in the attainments of Three-star divine pills, Head Elder had long reached the acme of perfection already. Wasn''t dealing with Ye Yuan as simple as capturing a prey with ease?


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Head Elder, today''s main show is the Pill Tower''s competition. We can''t snatch other people''s limelight. Why not put our sparring after the competition?"


    Rou Xu nodded his head and said, "May as well, up to you! Pill Tower competition, begin!"


    A deacon came to the center of the square and said in a clear voice, "First round, competing on fire control. Requesting the kindling!"


    The moment the voice faded, the top of the Pill Tower suddenly spewed out a stream of flames.


    In a blink of an eye, it was like a rain of flames fell down, scattering everywhere.


    At this time, several hundred Three-star disciples formed a huge circle. Those flame rain actually landed beside them accurately.


    These flames were rank three divine fires too but did not have special attributes, as if all of the spirituality was wiped away.


    The first round, competing on fire control, these Three-star disciples had to control these divine fires without spirituality and eradicate the other people''s divine fire.


    This round would eliminate a large portion of Three-star disciples. Only 100 people would be left behind in the end to enter the second round.


    This kind of competition was very fair to everyone. Everybody''s flame was identical and there was not the slightest aspect to resort of trickery.


    What they could do was improve their fire controlling skills and defeat the rest.


    Several hundred elite disciples competing with fire inside a circle, this scene was extremely spectacular.


    "Sigh, competing on fire control this round has nothing to compete in. There''s no suspense at all!"


    "Yeah, Song Qiyang''s fire controlling arts leaves people far behind in the dust. Within Three-stars, he has no rival at all."


    "Song Qiyang will probably deal a vicious blow this time. Those Three-star disciples of Second Elder''s will be a bit dangerous this time."


    ...


    Since it was competing on fire master, one would have to ruthlessly exterminate other people''s divine fire.


    Song Qiyang currently had a stomach full of anger, he would definitely target Second Elder''s disciples.


    "Begin!"


    Following the deacon''s loud yell, the fire competition officially drew back the curtains.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Song Qiyang''s mouth. Raising a fingertip, that divine fire flew out obediently.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    It was only to see countless flames intertwined together, immediately causing everyone to fall into a chaotic battle.


    "Puhwark!"


    Song Qiyang''s flame was akin to a sharp sword, directly extinguishing a Second Elder''s disciple''s flame.


    The slaughter, begun!

 1586 Brutal Devastation!

    Competing for the qualifications to enter the Pill Tower, no one would slack off at this time.


    Everyone would go all out. Those whose power were lacking, they unleashed all of their abilities, their faces flushing red.


    This kind of tangled warfare, the requirement on fire control was exceedingly high.


    If the flame was big, one would become a common target for all. If the flame was small, one''s offensive would be insufficient as well.


    At the same time, one also had to control the flame to carry out all kinds of evasive actions.


    It could be said as multitasking.


    To alchemists, this was indeed an excellent way to test fire control.


    However, Song Qiyang ran amuck, his divine fire transformed to become an enormous dragon. Apart from his own people, he would kill whoever he saw, virtually having none who could last one exchange with him.


    This was their own battle, as well as the fight between the elders.


    The more enemies he exterminated, that was winning more spots for his side.


    This fire competition based the rankings on the order of elimination. The last one remaining was the first place.


    Hence, as long as one was the 100th to be eliminated, they could ensure that they would enter the next round.


    At this time, the virtual images transformed from all kinds of divine fires in the battlefield crisscrossed, the battle situation incomparably tragic.


    However, when everyone saw Song Qiyang''s divine fire, they clamored to avoid it.


    In a twinkle, Song Qiyang slaughtered over ten people, akin to being in the Selfless Realm.


    His fire controlling arts indeed stood head and shoulders above the pack. The moment experts saw this, they knew that he stood out among the rest.


    Head Elder stroked his beard and smiled on the grandstands, clearly very satisfied with Song Qiyang.


    "Head Elder, Qiyang that boy is really promising! This Darksky Dragon Art is already a consummate work of art!" an elder said, flattering him.


    Rou Xu smiled slightly and said, "Huhu, this boy, it''s still early! He''s still 108,000 miles away from my requirement!"


    That elder smiled and said, "Head Elder is a strict teacher producing outstanding students! Although Qiyang''s Darksky Dragon Art isn''t worth mentioning in our eyes, among Three-star Alchemy Gods, he absolutely can show disdain toward everyone! Among Three-star disciples, cannot find a second existence who can contend with him at all!"


    Rou Xu smiled and said, "That''s true. Qiyang''s fire controlling arts is already approaching the level of a Four-star protector. It''s likely very hard for there to be someone who can surpass him among Three-star disciples."


    Heh, a bunch of trash also wants to enter the Pill Tower! Today, I''m going to make the Second Elder''s disciples fail to enter a single one! Song Qiyang sneered coldly in his heart.


    Suddenly, his gaze landed on Ning Siyu.


    "Heh, I''ll get started with you then, lass! Who asked you to walk so close with that Ye Yuan!"


    A hint of smugness flashed across the corners of Song Qiyang''s mouth. Fingers moving slightly, his enormous dragon divine fire pounced toward Ning Siyu''s divine fire.


    Ning Siyu''s divine was an exquisite little phoenix. Among those illusions that seemed powerful, it was inconspicuous.


    Although it was the shape of a phoenix, it looked just like a small bird, without any aggressiveness at all.


    If Song Qiyang did not act against Ning Siyu, there were even many people who did not notice this little phoenix at all.


    Ning Siyu''s talent was indeed pretty good, but her age was too young in the end and had yet to fully mature.


    The quota to enter the Pill Tower this time, no one would think of her having a chance at all.


    Those like Song Qiyang, existences with half a foot already stepped into Four-star Alchemy God, there were still some in the Pill Tower.


    Except, these people were not as powerful as Song Qiyang, that was all.


    "Mn? Song Qiyang has targeted Ning Siyu that lass? Heh, this boy is also too much of a bully!"


    "Heh heh, looks Song Qiyang wants to drive away and exterminate everyone, not giving Second Elder''s students any chance."


    "Want to blame, blame that Elder Ye! Originally, Song Qiyang wouldn''t be so ruthless either. Now, it''s good, he''s angry."


    ...


    Song Qiyang''s every action was followed with interest. Him acting against Ning Siyu, someone immediately discovered an inkling.


    An evil dragon eating a small bird, this result did not seem to have any suspense.


    The elders would not think so.


    The audience eating melons also would not think so.


    Song Qiyang himself would not think so even less.


    However, just as the two transmogrified divine fires intersected, everyone was dumbfounded.


    "Puhwark!"


    That small phoenix was just like a diamond bit drilling into its target, directly piercing through the enormous dragon!


    The enormous dragon seemed to have suffered a heavy blow all of a sudden, becoming much more illusionary.


    That power also did not seem to be as fierce as before anymore.


    Song Qiyang got a shock, his fire controlling art almost going out of control.


    The enormous dragon trembled all over and actually had signs of collapsing.


    Song Qiyang got a fright and hurriedly stabilized the massive dragon.


    However, it was not over yet!


    Only to see that small phoenix draw a beautiful arc and turn back once more in a blink of an eye.


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    The small phoenix flew back and forth, like drilling holes, riddling Song Qiyang''s enormous dragon full of holes.


    "This �� What''s going on here? Why is Ning Siyu''s little phoenix so strong?"


    "My eyesight isn''t failing, right? I can''t discern any extraordinary aspect about that little phoenix!"


    "F*ck me, things got real now! Song Qiyang wouldn''t be eliminated in the first round, right?"


    ...


    After the astonishment, exclamations sounded out everywhere.


    The visual impact that Ning Siyu''s little phoenix gave people was too intense.


    It was clearly just an unremarkable little bird, so not a single person expected that it was actually this strong!


    The undeniable thing was that it''s small body had immense energy!


    Song Qiyang became flustered, his entire person almost falling apart.


    At this rate, he would really be eliminated in the first round!


    His gaze turned sharp and he revealed a hint of ferociousness, the seals in his hands changing irregularly.


    Boom!


    The massive dragon directly fell apart!


    Ning Siyu laughed coldly and said, "Want to run? How can it be that easy!"


    The enormous dragon shattered, but Song Qiyang''s divine fire was not extinguished. It was still in the form of a dragon, but it was smaller.


    With his fire controlling art, he naturally would not be finished off so easily.


    But now, making him clash head-on with Ning Siyu, he would not do it even if beaten to death!


    He only had one thought now, run!


    His divine fire''s might was already mostly extinguished by Ning Siyu. Now, there was less than one-third remaining.


    This level was already insufficient to support him contending with Ning Siyu head-on.


    The astonishment in his heart could not be any greater. He did not understand why Ning Siyu''s fire controlling arts would suddenly become so horrifying.


    Song Qiyang did not have time to think about this problem, the seals in his hand were swift to the extreme, condensing those shattered flames together once more, coalescing to become a small dragon. This small dragon was two-thirds smaller than that one previously.


    "Puhwark!"


    Right then, Ning Siyu''s small phoenix hit that small dragon once more with great speed.


    Song Qiyang was going crazy!


    No way, I must hold on! If I were to be eliminated in the first round, Master''s face would be utterly lost today! Song Qiyang shouted crazily in his heart.


    The divine fire sustaining a heavy hit, the power was already less than half previously.


    Repeatedly suffering heavy blows, Song Qiyang''s divine fire already reached the brink of collapse.


    He urged that injured small dragon crazily, wanting to avoid the small phoenix''s pursuit.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several divine fires sped toward the small phoenix. Song Qiyang''s juniors only reacted now, each and every single person coming over to chase and intercept, protecting their senior apprentice brother.


    A hint of indiscernible slight smile flashed across the corners of Ning Siyu''s mouth, her hand seals becoming even faster!


    The slaughter started once more!

 1587 Embarrassing Ranking

    A soft cry sounded out. The originally sparrow-like little phoenix''s figure suddenly expanded.


    That appearance was just like a blazing sun rising, incomparably dazzling.


    Those juniors blocking Ning Siyu were all incredibly alarmed. They did not expect that Ning Siyu severely injuring their senior apprentice brother was actually not her full strength yet!


    This was a true fire phoenix, very powerful.


    Fire phoenixes were spirits of fire sources. Although they were illusions, it was the form that could best unleash the might of divine fires.


    In contrast, the Darksky Dragon that Song Qiyang summoned was a shade inferior.


    It was not that divine fires could freely transform into all kinds of shapes. This had to depend on the controller''s strength.


    Those with poor strength could only transform theirs into some low-level form.


    Those who were able to transform their divine fires to become a dragon like what Song Qiyang did were already considered very powerful.


    But in the art of fire control, the difficulty of transforming into a fire phoenix was many times greater than turning into a heavenly dragon.


    Ning Siyu''s little bird form previously, others would not pay too much attention.


    That kind of small and exquisite form, the requirement on the person controlling fire was not very high.


    But right now, this form was totally different!


    Constructing such a form with divine fire required exceedingly fine control of flames. Ordinary people could not accomplish it at all.


    When Song Qiyang saw this scene, his eyeballs were almost popping out.


    "This girl, how did she suddenly become so strong? Could it be ��"


    He could not help looking over towards Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan was expressionless. He was unable to discern joy nor sorrow on Ye Yuan''s face.


    "Impossible! If he taught it, why didn''t he have any smug expression at all? It must be Second Elder! He hid all these so deeply!"


    Ning Siyu''s fire phoenix was like a bulldozer, places that it passed through turned into scorched earth.


    The Head Elder''s side immediately suffered grievous losses. A large swathe of disciples was directly eradicated.


    "Too strong! Ning Siyu this lass, when did her fire controlling arts become so strong?"


    "This fire phoenix remarkably lifelike and virtually already has a trace of romantic charm. This lass, how did she do it?"


    "Compared to this girl''s fire control, Song Qiyang''s Darksky Dragon Art is simply trash!"


    ...


    On the stands, many elders marveled to no end one after another.


    Even Xuan Yu had surprise and bewilderment in his eyes too.


    He involuntarily looked toward Ye Yuan, but could not see anything from his face.


    Xuan Yu knew that these few days, Ning Siyu had always been in Ye Yuan''s mansion and did not come out.


    In this imperial city, apart from Ye Yuan, nobody had such ability.


    He could not, Rou Xu could not either!


    Rou Xu''s expression was as ugly as it could get. He completely did not think that this fire competition actually became a one-sided massacre.


    Ning Siyu this lass was too much, just targeting his lineage''s disciples and defeating them all.


    On the field, his disciples were wailing all over the place now, scurrying like rats everywhere, not daring to confront Ning Siyu head-on at all.


    Very soon, the divine fires in the circle became lesser and lesser. Song Qiyang was also finally killed by Ning Siyu''s third senior brother after fleeing for half a day


    The final battle became Second Elder''s side''s civil war.


    After Ning Siyu defeated her senior brothers, she took the first place!


    When the deacon presiding over the fire competition saw this result, even he could not quite dare to believe it.


    "Now, I announce the first round fire competition''s results. First place, Ning Siyu, second place, Jiang Tao, third place �� 97th place, Song Qiyang, 98th place ��"


    What an embarrassing ranking!


    The Song Qiyang who was known as the Three-star disciples'' number one person actually almost could not even enter the second round.


    If Song Qiyang knew that this was Ye Yuan specifically instructing Ning Siyu to not let him be eliminated in the first round, who knew what he would think.


    Head Elder''s lineage, each and every one of their faces were incomparably gloomy.


    Especially Head Elder, he was no longer able to maintain a calm state as well, completely collapsing on the inside.


    Song Qiyang gritted his teeth hard, his face red.


    Today, his face could be said to be utterly lost.


    He never dreamed that he actually fell close to 100th place today, and he almost could not even enter the second round!


    This was simply unprecedented humiliation!


    Looking at the smiles on the Second Elder''s lineage''s faces, Song Qiyang secretly gnashed his teeth in hatred. "You guys be smug then! The two rounds at the back, I''ll make you all return it both capital and interest!"


    The atmosphere on the stands was somewhat awkward.


    Head Elder''s side was domineering, the other elders mostly did not dare to offend.


    Hence, even though the Second Elder''s side had a great victory, nobody dared to go up to congratulate either.


    Hence, everyone kept their faze low and heads down, no one said anything.


    But these elders were still rather grateful to Second Elder and Ning Siyu in their hearts.


    Head Elder''s side overwhelmed people with numerical strength, so the others originally could not get much slots to go to the next round.


    But now, Ning Siyu stirring things up like this, many strong rivals on Head Elder''s side were unexpectedly eliminated. This also allowed the other elders'' disciples to pick up many places for free.


    Regarding this, they were naturally happy to see it happen.


    "Hahaha, Little Junior Sister, you''re really too incredible!"


    "A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes! Little Junior Sister, your improvement during these 10 days is simply too terrifying!"


    Lu Yi also extended a thumbs up and praised, "Little Junior Sister, you''re amazing! With your present fire controlling arts, even Eldest Senior Brother, I, don''t dare to say that I can definitely win! Master Ye is truly remarkable. He only used 10 days and he let Little Junior Sister be remolded anew!"


    Ning Siyu pouted and said unhappily, "Eldest Senior Brother, it''s Little Junior Sister''s talent! My talent that''s extraordinary, alright?! You find a piece of wood for Master Ye, see if he can teach it."


    Lu Yi laughed in spite of himself and said, "Don''t say that! If I give Master Ye a piece of wood, he might really be able to groom an Alchemy Dao expert out!"


    "You!" Ning Siyu stamped her feet angrily, making everyone laugh out loud.


    After laughing hard, Ding Xun suddenly asked curiously, "Little Junior Sister, divulge it for us, what kind of special training did Master Ye give you these few days, to actually let your fire controlling art improve to such a degree?"


    Ning Siyu''s pupils constricted and could not resist shuddering.


    Very clearly, these 10 days of bitter experience was not that pleasant for her.


    It could �� even use the word terrifying to describe the experience!


    "Second Senior Brother, you don''t ask anymore! If you''re interested, why not go and beg Master Ye? Let him train you!" Ning Siyu said.


    The group of senior brothers exchanged glances, but they all realized that these 10 days, Little Junior Sister probably lived a life that was inhumane.


    They really could not imagine that their little junior sister who had always feared suffering was actually able to endure such a fiendish training.


    But since Little Junior Sister could bear it, they could naturally bear it.


    Upon thinking of Little Junior Sister''s transcendent fire controlling arts, the senior brothers'' gazes became heated.


    To an alchemist, fire controlling art was too important.


    Fire controlling art being a degree stronger, the quality of the medicinal pill might be a degree stronger!


    "Now, the protectors get in position and undergo the first round fire competition''s contest!" shouted a deacon.


    This fire competition was divided into two groups. The protectors also had to fight for the spot to enter the Pill Tower.


    In the end, this round, Lu Yi was slightly inferior and was overpowered by Rou Xu''s head disciple, finally winning back a round.


    Except, Lu Yi''s fire controlling arts made Rou Xu''s head disciple break out in cold sweat from fright too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan refine pills the last time, the improvement of Lu Yi was all-round.


    Presently, his strength was more than a level stronger than before.


    After the protectors'' fire competition ended, the second round''s Dao Development was going to begin very soon.

 1588 Overwhelming Confidence

    The difference between divine rank spirit medicines and mortal rank spirit medicines was that divine rank spirit medicines contained all sorts of law fragments within them.


    As an Alchemy God powerhouse, fusing these Great Dao laws into a divine pill organically was where their ability lay.


    Clearly, this was not a simple task.


    Alchemists could choose not to comprehend these laws, but they had to be adept at guiding these law fragments for their own use. This was where the profundities of Alchemy Dao lay.


    In this aspect, Ye Yuan clearly walked further than other alchemists.


    Actually, compared to sensing the specifics of the power of laws, Alchemy Dao was more fleeting and ephemeral.


    Hence, even though there were many alchemists, those truly able to reach an extremely high realm were very few.


    As for Dao Realm, that went even more without saying.


    And Dao Development was guiding the power of laws inside spirit medicines out.


    This was the basic skill of every Alchemy God powerhouse!


    Compared to refining pills, Dao Development was guiding the medicinal properties of a kind of spirit medicine. It was relatively much easier.


    Of course, that was just relatively speaking.


    Under normal circumstances, for Three-star Alchemy Gods to be able to steer out 30% of rank three spirit medicines'' medicinal properties was already very good.


    Able to draw forth 50%, those were all people whose strength stood head and shoulders above the masses.


    Those able to bring out 70% could virtually sweep across those in the same rank, becoming a grandmaster of their generation.


    At 90%, that was just a legend.


    Of course, some spirit medicines were comparatively easier to draw out, but some spirit medicines were extremely difficult to draw out. This had to depend on the specific situation.


    At this time, three stalks of spirit medicines were placed in front of everyone''s table. They were the spirit medicines used in the second round competition,


    "Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng! Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil! Sovereign Rule Crape Myrtle! It''s actually these three kinds of spirit medicines!"


    "It''s over, it''s over! These three kinds of spirit medicines are notorious for being difficult, what to do?"


    "The practice was done in vain this time. These three kinds of spirit medicines added together, I can''t bring out ten points of the medicinal properties either!"


    ...


    These three kinds of spirit medicines, each kind of spirit medicine had ten points. Drawing out 10% of the medicinal properties, you get one point.


    Finally, adding the total score together, the results were put in order.


    Three kinds of spirit medicines added together not reaching ten points, it also meant that they did not even have the confidence to reach four points in one type of spirit medicine.


    When the 100 disciples saw these three kinds of spirit medicines, wailing sounds immediately echoed out.


    The law fragments contained within these three kinds of spirit medicines were very convoluted and notoriously difficult to guide.


    The medicinal pills refined with these three kinds of spirit medicines, the refining difficulty was very high!


    With this, it was awful.


    But Song Qiyang snorted coldly in his heart. He said, "A bunch of fools, strength so weak and still want to enter the third round? Heh, Ning Siyu this lass, I''ll definitely make a fool out of you in this round!"


    In order to ensure the fairness of the Pill Tower competition, each Pill Tower competition, this second round''s spirit medicines were all selected by several very impartial elders of the Martial Tower who enjoyed high prestige and commanded universal respect.


    All of the Pill Tower''s elders were clueless.


    However, there were no walls in the world that were impervious. Rou Xu had long inquired about the contents of the competition this time through secret channels and informed Song Qiyang and the rest.


    This way, their lineage could occupy even more spots.


    Except, Rou Xu completely did not expect that the competition''s first round this time, his lineage ended with a tragic defeat. Many people did not even have the chance to use the information.


    However, Song Qiyang had specifically practiced before in advance. Getting first place this time was absolutely no issue.


    Rou Xu already did not pay attention to the protector level competition anymore. He knew Lu Yi''s strength. It was very hard to gain too big of an advantage.


    But with regards to disciples competition, this level of competition, he already had his face swept to the ground.


    The second round, he must win back face!


    He did not believe that Ning Siyu could also crush Song Qiyang in this round.


    "Second round, begin! Starting from 100th place, Dao Development!" the deacon said in a clear voice.


    Finished talking, the disciples held a celestial deity artifact and arrived in front of the 100th place disciple.


    The so-called Dao Development was actually drawing out the law fragments inside spirit medicines with pill refining methods.


    That celestial deity artifact was called Dao Development Instrument. It was specifically used to test the percentage guided out.


    That disciple drew a deep breath, his palm trembled, directly shattering the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng.


    Then, he started guiding the law fragments in the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng with extremely quick hand movements, entering inside the Dao Development Instrument.


    There were ten major scale lines on the Dao Development Instrument and also many small scale lines; very precise.


    That disciple used all of his strength and desperately guided the law fragments into the Dao Development Instrument. But no matter how hard he tried, it only stopped at the third scale line in the end.


    A thick look of disappointment revealed in his eyes and he knew that he could not enter the third round no matter what.


    The second round had to eliminate 70 people, leaving only the top 30 to enter the third round.


    Want to enter the top 30, one needed to at least reach 13 or 14 scale lines.


    Clearly, it was impossible for him.


    Sure enough, the two spirit medicines at the back, his performance was not very good.


    There was even one who did not even reach three scale lines.


    "Wang Heng, Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng 3.2, Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil 3.2, Sovereign Rule Crape Myrtle 2.9, total score 9.3!" the deacon said in a clear voice.


    Hearing people heard this result, their hearts raced.


    No one mocked this Wang Heng, because they knew that these three kinds of spirit medicines were indeed very difficult.


    If they did it, they might not do better than Wang Heng.


    Sure enough, the 99th place disciple was even a point worse than Wang Heng.


    The 98th place disciple''s results were nothing as well without surprises.


    "Next, 97th place, Song Qiyang!" The deacon said in a clear voice.


    Coming in front of the spirit medicines, Song Qiyang''s shattered confidence was instantly brimming.


    It was even somewhat overflowing!


    For the sake of the competition this time, Song Qiyang had specially trained in these three kinds of spirit medicines before.


    When his state was at the best, he could even reach 17 points!


    One should not look at how it was just over half the total. This was already an extremely high score.


    Song Qiyang grinned, his palm shaking very casually, the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng was shattered into pieces.


    Then, Song Qiyang''s hands moved like lightning, both hands kneading seals swiftly.


    At this moment, Song Qiyang''s formidable pill refining technique was displayed in its entirety. Law fragments were actually guided into the Dao Development Instrument unceasingly by him.


    The scales of the Dao Development Instrument were rising rapidly.


    "Tsk tsk, Senior Apprentice Brother Song is indeed incredible! He failed miserably in an easy task during the first round. The second round, he''s about to win back a round immediately."


    "This Illusionary Heaven Solution Hand has truly reached the acme of perfection!"


    "It''s already more than 4 points! Looks like Senior Apprentice Brother Song''s Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng can at least reach 5.5 points, this is impressive!"


    ...


    Song Qiyang''s strength was indisputable. Using this pill refining technique, it gave people a feeling of gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind.


    Those disciples all used extremely worshiping gazes to look at him.


    Finally, the Dao Development Instrument''s scales no longer moved, finally stopping at 5.7 points.


    "Hahaha, my state today is pretty good! I have a hunch that I might very likely break through 17 points today! This round''s first place is definitely mine!"


    Seeing the 5.7 points result, Song Qiyang was puffed up with pride.


    With 17 points, it was his best result. Now, he turned grief and indignation into strength, and his state was actually surprisingly good.


    This made his confidence somewhat overflow.


    Song Qiyang gave Ning Siyu a taunting glance. The latter stuck her tongue out and made a funny face, shooting back.

 1589 Your Ability in Teaching Disciples Cant Make It!

    Song Qiyang''s state today was really excellent to the max!


    With the second spirit medicine, Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil, he reached a high score of 5.8 points.


    At this time, Song Qiyang had a feeling of his spirit leaving his body, being invincible under the heavens.


    "Hahaha, little girl, I see what you use to compete with me in this round!" Song Qiyang laughed loudly and said.


    Head Elder Rou Xu''s face finally revealed a smile and said with a slight nod, "Huhu, striving harder after knowing humiliation, Qiyang is pretty good!"


    "Huhu, it''s still Head Elder who taught well! Qiyang didn''t panic in the face of peril. No matter whether mentality or strength, he''s a top-notch choice!" Another elder curried favor.


    "Head Elder''s eyes are discerning, Qiyang this child will definitely have great accomplishments in the future!"


    When Head Elder heard the praises, he was extremely pleased in his heart.


    He acknowledged it. Song Qiyang was his masterpiece. He was even more outstanding than his own head disciple.


    He was also worried that Song Qiyang would be affected by the first round just now and perform below standard in the second round.


    Looking at it now, his worries were superfluous.


    Very soon, Song Qiyang also finished the Sovereign Rule Crape Myrtle''s Dao Development in one go.


    The third spirit medicine, Song Qiyang similarly obtained 6.8 points!


    The total tally of the three kinds of spirit medicines'' results reached a high score of 17.3 points.


    One should not look down on these 0.3 points. To Song Qiyang, it was absolutely a massive breakthrough.


    Dao Development could not continuously improve, drawing out even more law fragments just by cultivating.


    After being about to guide 50%, every half a point of improvement was incredibly hard.


    Song Qiyang only achieved a tiny bit of improvement after putting in god knows how much hard work.


    Furthermore, he had merely only reached 17 points once as well.


    Song Qiyang''s results immediately drew a series of praises.


    "Sigh, he''s the Three-star disciples'' number one person in the end! Song Qiyang''s strength, really nothing to say. Losing to Ning Siyu previously was merely capsizing in a drain."


    "Yeah, people said that he might reach Head Elder''s height in the future. I think this statement isn''t false."


    "Such complex spirit medicines, yet he could actually even reach 17.3 points, simply a freak!"


    ...


    Feeling everyone''s idolizing gazes, Song Qiyang felt comfortable to the extreme.


    Especially after sweetness that came after suffering, this glory was even sweeter.


    On the grandstand, Head Elder smiled and said to Xuan Yu, "Second Elder, 17.3 points, wonder if Siyu that lass can reach such a high score or not?"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s gazes turned to Xuan Yu.


    Provocation!


    This was a blatant provocation!


    They very much wanted to see whether or not the benign and uncontentious Second Elder would fight back or not.


    It was just that in their view, for Second Elder to want to win, it was far too difficult.


    17.3 points was already an exceedingly high score.


    Second Elder''s eyelids raised slightly, finally opening his eyes. But outside of everyone''s expectations, he looked at Ye Yuan and asked, "Elder Ye, what do you think?"


    What the hell was this?


    Your disciple, you asked what he thought?


    Could it be that you did not even know your own disciple''s standard?


    This play was acted really fake!


    However, Xuan Yu actually really did not know what was Ning Siyu''s situation right now.


    It had merely been around ten days since Ning Siyu came back, but these ten days already made Xuan Yu feel at a loss.


    The improvement was too great!


    However, whether Ning Siyu only improved in fire controlling arts or had improvements in all aspects, he really did not know.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "17.3 points? Heh heh, getting this score and he also dare to come out and posture? Still such a high score? Sigh �� Head Elder, your ability in teaching disciples can''t make it!"


    The grandstand was deathly silent, being struck dumb with amazement by Ye Yuan''s great ridiculing art.


    Head Elder''s ability to teach disciples could not make it?


    It was still their first time hearing it!


    In reality, Head Elder''s ability of teaching disciples, even Second Elder could not hold a candle to him.


    His disciples basically all suppressed Second Elder''s lineage, no matter at which stage.


    Now, there was actually someone who said that Head Elder''s ability in teaching disciples was lacking!


    Rou Xu''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, "Elder Ye, I''m really somewhat doubting if you''re really an expert, or are you deliberately talking big to impress people? To a Three-star Alchemy God, being able to reach 15 points is already very impressive. Getting 17.3 points is already ranked among the best in all previous sessions of Pill Tower competition. Do you think I know how to teach disciples or not?"


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, "Head Elder, Song Qiyang offended this elder that day. This elder minded my identity and was disdainful to take action to teach him a lesson. But it doesn''t mean that this elder can allow a puny Three-star Alchemy God to bully! This elder doesn''t have an apprentice for the time being and asked Second Elder to lend me a disciple to be taught for a few days. No other intention, it''s just to let this disciple of yours know that there is always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven. Let him know that the dignity of elders cannot be provoked!"


    "Hiss ��"


    The elders all drew a cold breath, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually said such words.


    His meaning was that Ning Siyu only became so impressive through his teachings?


    But seriously, the improvement of Ning Siyu''s fire controlling art could simply use hop, skip, and jump to describe.


    Except �� what did the phrase puny Three-star Alchemy God mean?


    Said it like you were not a Three-star Alchemy God!


    Rou Xu did not believe Ye Yuan''s words at all and said with a cold smile, "Is that so? Your meaning is that the disciple I taught for several hundred years is inferior to the one you taught for a few days? Young man, don''t talk too big when boasting, in case you can''t back it up when the time comes!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder rest assured. The words that I, Ye Yuan, say, can definitely be backed up!"


    Rou Xu felt that Ye Yuan was simply a shit-stirring stick!


    There was no way to chat!


    Running into a lunatic when posturing, how can others still posture?


    "Humph! Not making any sense!" Head Elder snorted coldly and stopped speaking.


    Lu Yi and the rest perked their ears up and listened below, each and every single one of them feeling incomparably liberated.


    Elder Ye was indeed as domineering as before!


    When you all, these frogs at the bottom of a well, witness Elder Ye''s true strength, wait to stare dumbfoundedly with your jaws slack!


    Upon thinking of Head Elder''s expression after being defeated by Ye Yuan, the few people all could not resist revealing a knowing smile.


    The Dao Development was still continuing. Sure enough, after Song Qiyang, no performance that took people''s breath away occurred anymore.


    The low ones were 10 or 11 points. Occasionally, a decent would one appear, it was also at most just 14 or 15 points.


    But the more to the back, the points also gradually became higher.


    After all, those able to slaughter their way out from the first round and take a high ranking were all powerful people.


    Originally, Song Qiyang should also be ranked at the back. But because of the first round''s accident, that was why he was placed at the front.


    After Song Qiyang, the highest score was Ning Siyu''s third senior brother. But he was also just 16.3 points, an entire point worse than Song Qiyang!


    This disparity was already not small.


    Ning Siyu''s third senior brother was second place, which was also the second last to leave the field.


    There was still a last one remaining, that was Ning Siyu.


    If Ning Siyu could not surpass 17.3, then Song Qiyang would be the second round''s champion.


    For a moment, everyone''s gazes all landed on Ning Siyu.


    Ning Siyu sucked in a deep breath, shattering the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng with a palm.

 1590 Beat Time Control

    Tap!


    Just as Ning Siyu shattered the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng, Ye Yuan''s index finger lightly tapped on the table in front of him.


    Ning Siyu''s peripheral vision was on Ye Yuan''s fingers all along.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s movement at this time, her body instinctively started moving.


    Ning Siyu''s movements were far from as flashy as Song Qiyang''s. It even seemed somewhat clumsy.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being rather astounded.


    Could this kind of clumsy technique obtain a good result?


    "Huhu, is this lass here to be funny? This kind of technique, still want to beat me?" Song Qiyang laughed in spite of himself.


    Tap, tap, tap!


    Ye Yuan''s finger knocked on the table three times again. Ning Siyu''s technique suddenly changed.


    The law fragments emitted from the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng actually started to pour into the Dao Development Instrument in a steady stream.


    That deacon originally also thought that Ning Siyu could not make it this round. But at this time, his pupils suddenly shrunk, looking at Ning Siyu in disbelief.


    He was the closest to Ning Siyu and could feel the aura of the law fragments.


    Those law fragments actually did not dissipate much, with the vast majority entering the Dao Development Instrument.


    Tap!


    Tap, tap, tap, tap!


    Tap, tap, tap!


    Ye Yuan''s finger knocked on the table non-stop, the tempo changing irregularly.


    From the view of outsiders, it was like Ye Yuan was tapping on the table out of sheer boredom.


    But Ning Siyu followed Ye Yuan''s rhythm and changed her technique continuously.


    The Dao Development Instrument''s scale climbed crazily!


    Four points!


    Five points!


    Six points!


    When it reached six points, it still had not stopped, rushing straight for seven points!


    Everyone was stunned. What was with Ning Siyu''s strange technique?


    Seven points, that was grandmaster-level!


    Ning Siyu''s control over Dao Development already reached such an astonishing extent?


    "Don''t reach seven points! Don''t reach seven points!


    Song Qiyang shouted desperately in his heart, hoping that it could stop Ning Siyu.


    However, Ning Siyu did not give him any chance at all, directly rushing up to seven points!


    However, this was not over yet!


    After shooting up to seven points, the rate of increase clearly slowed down. But it still climbed up bit by bit.


    Finally, it stopped on the 7.3 scale line!


    The whole place was silent. It lasted for a full five breaths before a wave of exclamations sounded out.


    "7.3! This �� This is too fake!"


    "Could it be that Ning Siyu already reached the realm of grandmaster?"


    "This is also too exaggerated! A Three-star Alchemy God actually guided out 73% of law fragments! Even for Four-star Alchemy Gods, not many can do it as well, right?"


    ...


    The Dao Development''s score, the higher it went, the harder it was.


    Especially after Dao Development reached 60%, even a single point more was also as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Even if one broke through to Four-star Alchemy God, understanding of Alchemy Dao becoming more profound, it was also not possible for Dao Development to directly fly from 60% to 70% all of a sudden.


    But Ning Siyu, she did it!


    Astonishment was written all over Ruo Xu''s face. Originally, he still wanted to rely on Song Qiyang''s high score to viciously smack Ye Yuan''s face[1].


    But now, Song Qiyang''s result was simply trash in front of Ning Siyu!


    Xuan Yu''s shock was not the slightest bit less than Ruo Xu''s.


    He could not resist asking Ye Yuan, "Elder Ye, you �� How did you do it?"


    However, Ye Yuan''s face was not happy at all. Instead, The expression seemed to be looking rather dissatisfied. He said, "This lass, to actually only draw out this bit. She really disappointed me this time!"


    The group of elders revealed strange expressions on their faces. This guy was intentionally posturing, right?


    7.3 points!


    He actually found it little!


    Actually, they did not know that Ye Yuan''s special training to Ning Siyu was specifically targeting this Pill Tower competition.


    In ten days'' time, the things that could be done were too few. Of course, it was impossible to let Ning Siyu''s strength soar to such a terrifying level.


    But if it was just targeting this competition, Ye Yuan could let Ning Siyu easily win.


    This Dao Development, it was just guiding out the law fragments in a single spirit medicine. To Ye Yuan, there was not much difficulty.


    Ning Siyu''s technique was all created by Ye Yuan, specifically used to guide the law fragments in spirit medicines.


    This technique had a total of 100 seals, Ye Yuan made Ning Siyu practice these seals until she had it at her fingertips.


    As for how to apply, she did not need to worry about it.


    Then, he agreed on a secret code with Ning Siyu. Ning Siyu just had to deploy the seals according to his rhythm and she could naturally draw out even more law fragments.


    This was also just Ning Siyu. If it were Ye Yuan, if it was not 100%, it was at least above 95% too.


    His understanding of Alchemy Dao was not what others could compare to at all.


    Originally, according to Ye Yuan''s estimations, Ning Siyu should at least be above 75%. He did not expect that she would only achieve 73%. Hence, he was naturally unhappy.


    As if sensing Ye Yuan''s dissatisfied faze, Ning Siyu spat her tongue out, looking embarrassed.


    She knew that she made some minor problems earlier, that was why she did not meet Ye Yuan''s requirements.


    The Dao Development continued, Ning Siyu seemed to have also gradually entered a state of concentration. The Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil''s performance was clearly much better than the Blood Longevity Heavenly Ginseng.


    Finally, the result of Ning Siyu''s Jade Cicada Immortal Pistil was 7.5!


    Song Qiyang''s expression became uglier and uglier, his face burning hot. It was as if he was slapped by someone.


    He was still brimming with confidence previously, thinking that this second round, he would win.


    But now, his result was simply trash in front of Ning Siyu!


    Looking at it now, every sentence he said earlier, every posturing he did, was all smacking his own face.


    Very soon, the result of the Sovereign Rule Crape Myrtle also came out.


    7.5!


    Ning Siyu''s total score was 22.3 points!


    Compared to Song Qiyang''s 17.3, it was a full five points higher!


    What these five points represented was an insurmountable gap.


    "Simply unbelievable, is this girl really Ning Siyu?"


    "Is Elder Ye really so formidable? Only used a few days'' time and he taught Ning Siyu to such a level?"


    "Head Elder''s lineage really had their faces swept to the ground this time."


    ...


    Ye Yuan looked at Ruo Xu with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Head Elder, wonder if this result can wind up the matter?"


    Head Elder had a grim expression as he said, "Young man, don''t be so overbearing! You''ll suffer a big loss like this!"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Head Elder, seems like the one who''s overbearing isn''t me, right? I just became an elder and your disciple came up to bully. Why did it become me who''s overbearing now?"


    Head Elder could not help choking and snorted coldly and said, "Young man, don''t get cocky too early! You and I, there''s still a contest!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I already can''t wait for it."


    The two people dealt a blow for a blow. All of the elders were silent like cicadas in winter.


    This new elder was really too awesome.


    Even Second Elder did not have this courage to talk to Head Elder like so, he actually dared!


    As for whether or not Ye Yuan really had this ability, everyone still had a skeptical attitude.


    If not seeing it with their own eyes, nobody would believe that a Three-star Alchemy God could win against Head Elder.


    As for Ning Siyu, they were more inclined to believe that Second Elder recently found some tricks to teach disciples.


    [1] Please take note that it''s supposed to be Ruo Xu, not Rou Xu, I made a typo. It will be reflected as Ruo Xu from this chapter onwards.

 1591 Undergo a Complete Change

    This third round was naturally competing on pill refinement.


    This round did not have any trickery to talk about. It was totally competing in raw power.


    But Ye Yuan was not worried about Ning Siyu.


    The current Ning Siyu was already no longer the past Ning Siyu.


    She had experienced his Dao Realm pill refining several times altogether and also had his special training. If she could not refine a high-grade medicinal pill, then Ye Yuan would go and knock his head to death.


    Of course, it was also that Ning Siyu had astonishing comprehension ability. That was why Ye Yuan would choose her.


    If it were others, even if he let them observe his Dao Realm pill refinement, wanting to make rapid progress within a short time could not be done no matter what.


    One had to know, the first time Ning Siyu saw Ye Yuan''s Dao Realm pill refinement, she could already refine high-grade Meridian Heaven Heart Pill.


    "Qiyang, this round is your forte. You definitely can''t lose anymore."


    Ruo Xu could not sit still anymore. Making use of the resting interval, he personally went down the grandstand and called Song Qiyang to his side, personally instructing.


    A hint of panic flashed across in Song Qiyang''s eyes. He did not think that he would lose so thoroughly today.


    For so many years, his eyes had always been at the top of his head, totally looking down on alchemists in the same rank.


    But now, he was utterly defeated at the hands of a little girl.


    He started to doubt life!


    "Master, I �� the first two were also my forte! Furthermore, the second round, I even practiced before in advance. But in the end ��" Song Qiyang said rather dispiritedly.


    Ruo Xu''s face fell and he said, "Although I didn''t catch any evidence, the first two rounds, they definitely have suspicions of winning through unorthodox ways! But the third round is honest-to-goodness pill refinement. That punk absolutely can''t make Ning Siyu this lass undergo a complete change! You don''t need to think too much, this third round, as long as you perform as per usual, you''ll win for sure. Make sure not to be affected by before!"


    Song Qiyang sucked in a deep breath and said with a nod, "I know what I should do, Master!"


    "You know my ass! If you also lose this third round, don''t call me your master anymore in the future!"


    Done talking, Ruo Xu flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind Song Qiyang transfixed like a wooden chicken.


    What kind of visual prowess did Ruo Xu have, how could he not see that Song Qiyang''s thoughts were wavering right now?


    Hence, that was why Ruo Xu dealt this harsh action to him, making Song Qiyang pull himself together.


    Ruo Xu spent a lot of effort on Song Qiyang, how could he bear to really chase him out of his tutelage?


    "Third round, pill refining! The medicinal pill that you all have to refine is the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill!" the deacon said.


    The Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill was a thunder-attribute medicinal pill. The difficulty of refining was very high; virtually comparable to the Gale Celestial Stone Pill.


    The difficulty of medicinal pill was an unprecedented challenge to everyone.


    But in this third round, Ning Siyu was clearly at a disadvantage.


    After all, she was just middle-stage Origin Deity. She was much worse in terms of divine essence.


    These medicinal pills that are harder to refine, and the expenditure on divine essence was also enormous.


    "I wonder if this third round, Ning Siyu can still create a miracle or not!"


    "If there weren''t the first two rounds, I think that Ning Siyu definitely can''t! But now, I''m really looking forward to it!"


    "I heard some time back that Ning Siyu assailed the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill bitterly and failed to get results. This Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill is much harder than the Meridian Heaven Heart Pill, can she really do it?"


    "If Elder Ye can even teach pill refinement, then the front door of Ye Manor will definitely be packed until it bursts tomorrow."


    ...


    In the first two rounds, everyone was not optimistic about Ning Siyu. But they did not expect that Ning Siyu became the greatest dark horse, crushing the top seeded contestant, Song Qiyang, until he was black and blue all over.


    This third round, everyone naturally also looked forward to it.


    But some who knew the inside story heard before about Ning Siyu''s Alchemy Dao strength, and hence, started somewhat doubting it.


    With the pill refinement round starting, everyone cast their whole attention into pill refinement, but Ning Siyu did not move.


    Ye Yuan told her, don''t be impatient, before refining the pill, recall the many times of observations properly, carefully recall the Dao accumulations back then, and adjust your state to the pinnacle.


    Ning Siyu readily obeyed Ye Yuan''s words, so she was not in a hurry to move.


    "Mn? What''s this girl doing? She knows that she can''t refine it, so she''s deliberately disrupting my mind?"


    Song Qiyang''s state of mind was unsettled and kept on not being able to let go of thinking about Ning Siyu.


    Ning Siyu''s strange action naturally landed in his eyes very quickly.


    He was already somewhat doubting life now. Seeing this scene, he was even more anxious and doubtful.


    "Humph!"


    Ruo Xu suddenly snorted coldly. Song Qiyang abruptly startled awake, and plunge into pill refining.


    "Head Elder, this action �� is likely not compliant with the rules, right?" Xuan Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said coolly.


    Ruo Xu''s face did not turn red, nor did his heart beat faster as he said coolly, "What did this old man do?"


    He clearly made Song Qiyang calm his thoughts through this cold snort. Now, he actually refused to admit it without blushing.


    The other elders also felt that this action was somewhat overboard. It was just that they dared to be angry, but they did not dare to speak.


    Xuan Yu froze and immediately kept his mouth shut.


    This guy''s skin was seriously too thick.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Ruo Xu, but did not make a sound.


    While at this time, Ning Siyu suddenly opened her eyes and started the pill refinement!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, nodding his head to himself.


    This girl''s comprehension ability was even better than he thought.


    Only to see Ning Siyu''s actions akin to floating clouds and flowing water - natural and smooth, accomplishing things at one go, with quite the air of a master.


    Quite a few elders emitted a light gasp, clearly being attracted by Ning Siyu.


    The realm of the elders present were all very high and could discern the level of superiority at a glance.


    Ning Siyu''s current state already reached a kind of ethereal state, no distractions in her mind.


    Under such a state, pill refinement could clearly yield twice the results with half the effort.


    "Siyu this lass seems to really be different!"


    "Could it be that Elder Ye really has this level of means to turn something rotten into something magical?"


    "If Siyu this girl really refines the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill, that would be incredible!"


    ...


    The group of elders gasped in wonder one after another. They knew that Ning Siyu really could not be compared to in the past anymore.


    Regardless of the final result, Song Qiyang''s title of number one person among Three-star disciples would likely have to be handed over on a silver platter.


    In contrast, even though Song Qiyang forcefully reigned in his thoughts, his state of mind was already flustered. It was very hard to unleash all of his strength.


    His strength would likely be greatly reduced.


    Time slowly trickled by, due to the reason of her realm being lacking, Ning Siyu was dripping with sweat, somewhat straining.


    But, her entire person was in a mysterious state and did not detect it at all.


    She only had one thought right now, that was to refine the medicinal pill.


    Suddenly, she chirped.


    "Condense!"


    She was the last to take action among everyone, but the very first to finish!


    Amidst the crowd, waves of exclamations came over.


    They did not expect that Ning Siyu really refined the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill.


    Even she herself looked towards Ye Yuan with an excited face.


    She knew that all these changes were brought to her by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan flashed her a slight smile to show her affirmation, making Ning Siyu extremely agitated.


    Before long, Song Qiyang''s medicinal pill was also about to congeal.


    "Humph!"


    But right at the critical moment, Ye Yuan suddenly emitted a cold snort from his nasal cavity.


    Song Qiyang seemed to have his throat clutched, instantly suffocating.

 1592 Vastsun Universe Pill

    Congealing the pill was one of the most critical steps in alchemy!


    One could say that it was akin to ten thousand streams converging into a river.


    This cold snort of Ye Yuan''s seemed to directly chop a blade at the convergence area of all the trickles.


    That taste was really free from inhibitions to the max.


    Head Elder''s face changed and he said in a cold voice, "Ye Yuan! What''s the meaning of this?"


    Ye Yuan said with an innocent look, "What did I do? Oh, just now, my throat was uncomfortable and I cleared it. Head Elder''s throat was also uncomfortable just now, right?"


    "You!" Ruo Xu was angered until his face was livid, but he actually could not find the words to refute.


    Many elders all desperately held back from laughing. Ye Yuan this boy was really too bad.


    But this matter was Head Elder not complying with the rules first. No one could find any fault.


    Although this cold snort of Ye Yuan''s was not to the extent of making Song Qiyang waste all the previous efforts, the quality of the medicinal pill was definitely greatly affected.


    "What''s wrong with me? Could it be that I did something wrong, why is Head Elder being so angry?" Ye Yuan said with a face that looked harmless to man and beast.


    Ruo Xu''s expression was incredibly grim as he said in a solemn voice, "Elder Ye, very good! You''re very good! In a while, we''ll showcase our true abilities then!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "To be able to get Head Elder''s guidance, this Ye most welcomes it."


    Amidst the somewhat cold atmosphere, everyone''s medicinal pills had completely been refined.


    The disciples who could enter the top 30, their strengths were all very outstanding.


    Although the Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill was hard, it was not to the point where they could not refine it.


    It was just that the good and bad of the qualities varied greatly.


    "Open the furnace! Elders, please examine them!" the deacon said in a clear voice.


    Everyone opened their medicinal cauldrons. One medicinal pill after another flew out.


    When Ning Siyu saw her Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill, she could not help being overjoyed.


    She really did it!


    Peak high-grade!


    Just one more stop and it was superior-grade!


    The group of elders walked down the grandstand and saw Ning Siyu''s Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill at first glance, all incomparably shocked.


    How could they have imagined that Ning Siyu could actually refine one that was peak high-grade?


    "Looks like this round''s situation is already very obvious. Siyu this lass takes first place for all three, overpowering everyone!" said an elder.


    Quite a few elders came in front of Xuan Yu and congratulated, "Second Elder, congratulations! The ten spots to enter the Pill Tower this time, your lineage actually occupied half! It''s truly unprecedented!"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Got lucky, got lucky, all thanks to Elder Ye!"


    Xuan Yu was naturally delighted in his heart. But he also knew that this was all Ye Yuan''s credit and had nothing to do with him.


    These few years, he was bullied badly by Head Elder. Today, he finally vented it all out.


    Head Elder only came down and circled one round, then returned to the grandstand again. How could he still have any face to stay?


    That cold snort of Ye Yuan''s directly disrupted Song Qiyang''s medicinal pill into low-grade.


    How could a low-grade medicinal pill be enough to enter the top ten?


    Song Qiyang was long gone. He really had no way of staying here anymore.


    Today, his face was utterly lost.


    After a few more hours, the protector team''s results were also out. Lu Yi and Ding Xun both successfully obtained the spots to enter the Pill Tower.


    Once that side ended, Ruo Xu stood up impatiently and said coldly, "Elder Ye, it''s our turn!"


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said with a smile, "Head Elder is very anxious. This state of mind will affect your performance."


    Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, "That doesn''t need you to worry about! Today, this old man is going to let you know that elders aren''t so easy to be!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How does Head Elder want to compete?"


    Ruo Xu said in a deep voice, "Don''t say that this old man is bullying you. Any rank three divine pill, you can have your pick!"


    Head Elder was still concerned about his identity in the end and did not wish to get a reputation of bullying the weak in front of so many people.


    Therefore, he had Ye Yuan choose the medicinal pill.


    In his view, no matter which rank three medicinal pill, he still had no problems crushing Ye Yuan.


    He was the exalted Pill Tower''s head elder, a peak Four-star Alchemy God. How could he possibly lose to a Three-star Alchemy God?


    Even if Ye Yuan was somewhat different from the rest, his strength far surpassing Three-star Alchemy Gods, he also had full confidence.


    But Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Head Elder is actually so magnanimous, then �� I''ll choose the medicinal pill?"


    Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, "You just pick! This old man is the exalted head elder, could it be that I still have to make things difficult in this area for you, a Three-star Alchemy God? Spreading it, wouldn''t it incur the entire imperial city''s people mocking?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, but looked towards Xuan Yu and said, "Second Elder, I wonder what rank three divine pill Head Elder is most adept in?"


    Xuan Yu understood it and said with a smile, "The rank three divine pills that Head Elder is good at are too many to enumerate. But to say what he''s best at, it should be the Vastsun Universe Pill. This medicinal pill of his has created many Divine Lord Realm powerhouses for the imperial city!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, looking at Ruo Xu. He was rather surprised.


    He did not think that Ruo Xu was actually good at the Vastsun Universe Pill!


    This Vastsun Universe Pill was not an ordinary medicinal pill, but a medicinal pill that could help half-step Divine Lords and grand completion Origin Deity perceive the laws of heaven and earth, comprehending opening up an inner-world.


    No medicinal pills could directly let the martial artist breakthrough to Divine Lord Realm. But the Vastsun Universe Pill could increase the chances of a martial artist''s breakthrough, letting them have a chance of taking this final step.


    This kind of medicinal pill was hard to find a single one.


    Disregarding that the spirit medicines required were very scarce, the requirement of the refiner was also perverse to the extreme.


    Even for Four-star Alchemy Gods, those able to refine it were also exceedingly few.


    Three-star Alchemy Gods, it had never been heard of that someone refined it before.


    Ruo Xu and Xuan Yu, these sorts of existences, could naturally refine it. But Ruo Xu was more than a magnitude stronger than Ruo Xu in this medicinal pill.


    The moment Ruo Xu heard, his stomach full of anger turned into ridicule and he said with a cold smile, "Huhu, young people had best not be too impetuous! You want to use the medicinal pill that I''m most adept in to compete with me, the idea is good, but �� you''re too weak!"


    Ruo Xu''s meaning was: you want to posture, in the end, you smacked your own face, right?


    How could he not perceive that Ye Yuan wanted to challenge the medicinal pill that he was best at?


    However, the reality was not as expected!


    He completely did not think that Ye Yuan would compete with him with the Vastsun Universe Pill. This medicinal pill, Three-star Alchemy Gods had no capability to refine one!


    The other elders also revealed contemptuous looks, feeling that Ye Yuan postured over the top.


    "This Elder Ye, the more I look, the more unreliable he seems to be!"


    "Yeah, want to say that Ning Siyu was taught by him, I don''t believe even if beaten to death."


    "Youngsters, having a bit of strength made them not know the immensity of heaven and earth anymore. How can the Vastsun Universe Pill be what he can refine?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said to Xuan Yu, "Second Elder, why don''t �� I compete in this with him?"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "This is your contest, you make the decision."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said to Ruo Xu, "Head Elder, don''t blame that I didn''t give you the chance. Let''s compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill then!"


    "What?! He really wants to compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill?"


    "What kind of joke is this?! This kid is here to make a fool, right?"


    "A Three-star Alchemy God refining Vastsun Universe Pill, does this boy take us to be idiots?"


    Ye Yuan''s one sentence made all of the elders explode.w

 1593 Overwhelming Aura

    "You want to compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill with me? Huhu, young man, I''m somewhat doubting it now. Do you really know alchemy?" When Ruo Xu heard that, he could not refrain from laughing in spite of himself.


    "Know or not, you''ll know in a while. Why is Head Elder going back on your words?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Heh, since you''re looking for a trashing yourself, then wouldn''t it somewhat be letting you down if this old man doesn''t help you achieve your purpose?" Ruo Xu said with a cold smile.


    To talk about Ruo Xu refining the Vastsun Universe Pill, that was indeed a special ability of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    There was even one time when he refined a peak heaven-grade Vastsun Universe Pill and just missed a little bit more to reach the realm of divine-grade.


    For the Vastsun Universe Pill, this was simply a miracle.


    There was a saying that circulated among alchemists, the Vastsun Universe Pill was the hardest in rank three!


    For a rank three alchemist to want to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill, it was undoubtedly a fool''s talk.


    One could say that the Vastsun Universe Pill was the taboo of Three-star Alchemy Gods.


    Even though it was just a rank three divine pill.


    Only by experiencing the baptism of Great Dao, opening up one''s inner-world and increasing one''s comprehension, could one refine this medicinal pill.


    It could be seen from this how great the difficulty of refining this medicinal pill was.


    However, when everyone heard that Head Elder was going to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill, each and every one of them became incomparably excited.


    Especially those alchemists, this was a rare chance to learn and observe to them.


    "It''s really too great! To actually be able to personally see Head Elder refining the Vastsun Universe Pill, this is a chance that only happens once in a blue moon!"


    "Even though Elder Ye is unreliable, he obtained benefits for us, these bottom-level alchemists, this time!"


    "Elder Ye is really an ignorant person who doesn''t fear anything, to actually want to compete in the Vastsun Universe Pill with Head Elder. Isn''t this simply looking to be abused?"


    "Maybe he feels that such a difficult medicinal pill, even if he can''t refine it, it wouldn''t be too embarrassing either. This way, he can continue to fish in troubled waters in the future."


    ...


    The spirit medicines required for refining the Vastsun Universe Pill were very rare. But with the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s strength, collecting a few sets of rank three spirit medicines was still doable.


    It was just that this medicinal pill was too precious. Extremely few people could afford the price to invite Head Elder to take action.


    Before long, someone prepared two sets of spirit medicines and delivered them to the Pill Tower.


    "Elder Ye, these spirit medicines were gotten by the Martial Tower''s disciples at the risk of their lives. Giving you to refine is really too wasteful!" Ruo Xu pointed at those spirit medicines and said.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "Head Elder''s words aren''t correct. Wasted or not, we''ll only know after refining. If your medicinal pill''s quality is worse than mine, you''re the one who really squandered it!"


    Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, "Razor-tongued! I don''t believe that you can really refine the Vastsun Universe Pill."


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, "It''s useless to say anymore, let''s get started! Uh �� Head Elder go first, let me plagiarize first."


    Ruo Xu laughed coldly and said, "Then you have to watch carefully!"


    Done talking, Head Elder''s two hands drew a circle. The aura of Great Dao surged to the sky on the plaza, the commotion extremely shocking.


    Reaching the realm of Four-star Alchemy God Realm, each pill refinement would trigger the power of Great Dao. But those who could be deep and vigorous like Head Elder, they were one of a kind.


    Xuan Yu''s gaze turned sharp and he muttered to himself, "Looks like his strength improved again!"


    The two people fought for so many years and had always been secretly contending.


    Regarding Ruo Xu''s strength, Xuan Yu was the clearest.


    From this imposing momentum, he could sense that Ruo Xu''s strength was a little stronger than before again.


    Reaching their realm, every tiny bit of improvement was exceedingly hard to come by.


    Head Elder''s strength improving, he could originally shake him off by some distance.


    It was just too bad �� he ran into Ye Yuan!


    Observing Ye Yuan''s pill refinement the last time made Xuan Yu glean considerable gains.


    These few days, Xuan Yu''s Alchemy Dao level had considerable improvement.


    This kind of learning actually had the best effect during the first time.


    Because Ye Yuan''s pill refinement opened another door for them.


    "Indeed worthy of being the head elder. The moment he made his move, it''s heaven-shocking!"


    "I don''t know if Head Elder can break through the fetters this time and refine a divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill!"


    "If Head Elder can break through the fetters, then all the major families present will probably go crazy!"


    "Isn''t that so! Divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill virtually represents a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse. Which family can be calm?"


    ...


    Head Elder''s alchemy technique was dignified and complex, yet incomparably steady.


    The Alchemy Dao powerhouses present, even elder-class, were also ashamed of their inferiority.


    This was the strength after endless tempering and training. There was no way to rock it at all.


    Ye Yuan watched by the side and also praised endlessly.


    "Tsk tsk, indeed worthy of being the head elder. His strength isn''t ordinary!'' Ye Yuan had an appearance of finding fault.


    The others could not help being speechless when they saw. How bold was this guy to actually not start yet?


    Or was it that he could not refine it at all, and directly chose to give up?


    "Hey! If you can''t refine, admit defeat as early as possible. You simply look like a clown right now!" an elder in Head Elder''s faction said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry either, saying with a smile, "No rush, let him refine a while first. Whether I''m a clown or not, you''ll know in a while!"


    That elder snorted coldly and said, "I''ll see what trick you can play!"


    Ruo Xu entering pill refining state, his entire person was fully focused on the medicinal pill.


    Ye Yuan and the elder''s conversation, he naturally could not hear it.


    The original contest became Head Elder''s solo performance.


    Very soon, everyone was drawn by Head Elder''s transcendent alchemy technique. No one paid attention to Ye Yuan anymore.


    They were definitely super certain that Ye Yuan was an out-and-out swindler who did not know alchemy at all!


    However, right at this time, Ye Yuan moved!


    An even more majestic Great Dao aura suddenly surged to the sky, giving everyone a fright.


    "This �� What''s going on?"


    "This Great Dao aura was emitted by Ye Yuan?"


    "How is that possible?! His aura is actually so much stronger than Head Elder!"


    "My God, my eyesight must be failing! How can a Three-star Alchemy God possibly trigger such a terrifying Great Dao aura?"


    ...


    When the pill refinement started, that cynical and flippant state thoroughly disappeared from Ye Yuan''s body.


    What replaced it was an incomparable focus.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with dumbfounded gazes and slack jaws. That dream-like alchemy technique, that continuously fluctuating Great Dao aura, was making it clear to all that this was an existence whose Alchemy Dao already reached a consummate realm!


    Head Elder''s pill refinement paled in comparison in front of Ye Yuan!


    After the astonishment, everyone was completely drawn over by Ye Yuan very quickly.


    Especially those alchemists, each and every one of them watched like they were intoxicated.


    Currently, Ye Yuan refining pills was just like triggering Great Dao Heavenly Melody back then, capable of making the surrounding people immerse inside, unable to extricate themselves too.


    They discovered that Ye Yuan''s alchemy technique was what they had never heard of before.


    His technique was exceedingly profound, they could not understand at all.


    Especially those elders, each and every one of them were akin to having obtained a priceless treasure. They seemed to have had a good rain after a long drought, learning from Ye Yuan hungrily.

 1594 Void Spirit Divine-grade

    "This �� This is Elder Ye''s strength?"


    "No wonder he could become an elder with the identity of a Three-star Alchemy God! There''s no problem at all!"


    "Convinced! Really convinced! I never dared to imagine that a Three-star Alchemy God could actually be powerful to such an extent!"


    ...


    When everyone woke up from being enthralled by the aura of Dao. Each and every one of them was incredibly shocked.


    Ye Yuan''s pill refinement made them broaden their horizons.


    Only then did they truly understand what Ye Yuan relied on to become an elder.


    Ye Yuan already finished, but Ruo Xu was still meticulously concocting his medicinal pill.


    The people who were originally still marveling at Head Elder''s pill refinement, looking back at it again now, there was actually a dull feeling.


    No idea how long had passed either, Head Elder''s Vastsun Universe Pill was finally refined completely.


    Regarding the pill refinement this time, he was very satisfied.


    Based on his judgment, it was at least heaven-grade too.


    Being able to refine Vastsun Universe Pill to heaven-grade, one could practically be in an undefeatable position already.


    When he saw that Ye Yuan was still standing there, looking at him calmly, he even thought that Ye Yuan did not refine one.


    "Huhu, gave up? Now, do you know the disparity between you and me?" Ruo Xu smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, "I''ve long finished refining. It''s you who were too slow."


    Ruo Xu seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke in the world and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Still being stubborn until now, do you think that the Vastsun Universe Pill is a cabbage, can be refined completely in this short while? Or is it that you treated those spirit medicines as stir-frying a dish, cooking them in one pot?"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    At this time, an elder ran to Ruo Xu''s side and said a few words in his ears.


    Ruo Xu''s expression changed, looking at Ye Yuan with amazement.


    He opened his mouth but did not know what he should say.


    Ye Yuan �� He really refined it!


    A Three-star Alchemy God, how could it be possible to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill?


    This medicinal pill was the taboo of Three-star Alchemy Gods!


    Ruo Xu abruptly startled awake, his eyes sweeping across the other people''s faces, instantly understanding something.


    He was incomparably ashamed and resentful as he said to Ye Yuan in a cold voice, "Open the furnace, this old man wants to see what the hell you refined!"


    Everyone''s faces also revealed a fascinated look. They were all very curious, to be able to have that kind of terrifying alchemy art, to what grade did Ye Yuan refine it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Open then. Head Elder, who first?"


    Head Elder said in a deep voice, "You first. This old man is very curious now, what grade of Vastsun Universe Pill can a Three-star Alchemy God actually refine!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "As you wish!"


    The moment the medicinal cauldron opened, a dazzling light shot out and reached straight for the firmament, blinding until everyone could not open their eyes.


    In the sky, the winds and clouds suddenly changed, and actually formed a rainbow auspicious cloud!


    The rainbow auspicious cloud danced in the sky, looking unbelievably magnificent, like celebrating Ye Yuan forming the pill.


    In the crowd, cries of exclamations rang out.


    "What grade is this medicinal pill? To actually be able to trigger a heaven and earth phenomenon!"


    "Are you dumb?! Heaven and earth phenomenon, only void spirit divine-grade and above medicinal pills can trigger it! Elder Ye''s medicinal pill already reached void spirit divine-grade!"


    "G-Got to be joking, right? Vastsun Universe Pill, void spirit divine-grade?"


    "Really what the frick! I was actually able to see a vast spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill be born!"


    ...


    Head Elder''s face revealed a look of astonishment. With his experience, how could he not understand what happened?


    This scene was simply too soul-stirring!


    Want to trigger heaven and earth phenomenon, it was not just any kind of medicinal pill reaching void spirit divine-grade could work!


    Only a pil like the Vastsun Universe Pill that seized the good fortune of heaven and earth could it trigger heaven and earth phenomenon.


    And this kind of medicinal pill, wanting to refine void spirit divine-grade was undoubtedly a fool''s talk.


    But now, the crazy talk genuinely happened in front of them.


    Ye Yuan was just a Three-star Alchemy God!


    How could Ye Yuan do it to this extent?


    If not for seeing it with his own eyes, Ruo Xu would never believe no matter what that a Three-star Alchemy God could actually refine a vast spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill!


    This was simply a joke.


    Even if he witnessed the heaven and earth phenomenon with his own eyes, he still felt that this was a joke!


    A joke that heaven made toward him.


    Xuan Yu heaved a sigh and said with a bitter smile, "I even thought that Ye Yuan could refine purple spirit divine-grade. I didn''t think that he actually directly refined void spirit divine-grade. This guy, I really don''t know where his limit is!"


    Lu Yi who was beside him also said in wonder, "Master, Elder Ye is really remarkable! This Void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill, probably the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will plunge into madness!"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "That is, of course! This time, Ruo Xu miscalculated. If Ye Yuan didn''t have the ability that could be showcased, how could upstairs possibly agree to let him be an elder? I very much want to see if Ruo Xu is opening the furnace or not opening the furnace."


    Lu Yi froze and immediately understood.


    He did not expect that the good guy master also had such a mischievous side.


    Under this circumstance right now, whether Ruo Xu opened his furnace or not was a very awkward question.


    Open, the jewel was in front, he could not present it at all.


    Not opening, the exalted head elder actually did not even have the courage to open the furnace.


    What an awkward spectacle!


    Ruo Xu regretted until his intestines turned green now. If he had long known it was like this, he might as well open the furnace first.


    No idea how long had passed either, the rainbow auspicious cloud faded. Everything returned to tranquility.


    A medicinal pill suspended above the medicinal cauldron quietly. Fragrance instantly filled the entire plaza.


    "So fragrant!"


    "It''s my first time smelling such an aromatic medicinal fragrance!"


    "The entire plaza is actually able to smell the medicinal fragrance, void spirit divine-grade is indeed extraordinary."


    ...


    Everyone''s faces revealed incomparably heated looks. Clearly, they all wanted to obtain this medicinal pill.


    There were quite a number of large families'' upper echelons present. Toward this medicinal pill, they were naturally extremely eager for it.


    This grade of medicinal pill did not just signify being able to create a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, it even implied the possibility of a limitless future.


    Void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills were naturally different from ordinary medicinal pills.


    It could consolidate and bolster, stimulating the martial artist''s potential, letting the martial artist have even greater upside potential.


    A martial artist who exhausted their potential and could only cultivate to first-layered heaven Divine Lord after consuming medicinal pills, after consuming a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill, there was a very high hope of breaking through to second-layered heaven Divine Lord, even third-layered Divine Lord!


    This was still just those whose talents were poor.


    After those with good talent consumed it, their future possibilities would simply be unimaginable.


    Such a medicinal pill, how could they not go crazy?


    "Head Elder, it''s your turn."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the muscles on Ruo Xu''s face twitch unceasingly.


    The scene seemed to have been frozen.


    Everyone''s gazes were locked onto Ruo Xu, wanting to see what Head Elder would do.


    After all, Head Elder''s status was exalted.


    Ye Yuan''s words virtually forced him into a corner.


    Today, no matter what, Head Elder''s face was considered utterly lost.


    "You �� You won!"


    Ruo Xu practically squeezed these few words out from the crevices between his teeth.

 1595 Astronomical Price Medicinal Pill!

    Ruo Xu knew that even if he risked this old life, it was still impossible to refine a void spirit divine-grade medicinal pill.


    This kind of medicinal pill only existed in legends.


    In reality, he lived to a ripe old age and had seen before God knows how many geniuses. But he had never heard of anyone who could refine a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill when at Four-star Alchemy God.


    As for Three-star Alchemy God, that went even more without saying.


    Therefore, he admitted defeat very sensibly.


    Of course, he did not have the face to stay here anymore either. After conceding, he left dejectedly.


    But at this time, everyone''s thoughts were already long not on Head Elder.


    An elder of the Wang Family said in a clear voice, "Elder Ye, sell this medicinal pill to our Wang Family! We''ll offer 300 million divine essence stones!"


    "Elder Ye, don''t listen to him, sell to our Yan Family! We''ll offer 500 million divine essence stones!"


    "Our Liu Family offers 550 million!"


    ...


    Suddenly, these major families'' leaders seemed to thrash around violently, arguing until Ye Yuan had a headache.


    According to the Pill Tower''s rules, even though this Vastsun Universe Pill was refined by Ye Yuan, the ownership belonged to the Pill Tower.


    But, if the Pill Tower decided to sell it, 30% of the divine essence stones obtained would be given Ye Yuan.


    Ordinary rank three divine pills, even the Heavenly Blood Marrow Changing Pill that Ye Yuan refined at the south city, also merely sold at a price of 50 million.


    These major families, the moment they opened their mouths, it was several hundred million divine essence stones. This price already greatly exceeded the price of ordinary rank three divine pills.


    "Stop! All stop for me!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly.


    But no one listened to him. Those people were all still clamoring, virtually falling into madness.


    Void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill, who did not want one?


    As for the price, that was all not a problem.


    Ye Yuan seriously could not bear it anymore and shouted angrily, "All shut up for me!"


    This yell, Ye Yuan mustered up divine essence, directly overwhelming everyone.


    When those people saw that Ye Yuan was angry, they indeed stopped.


    Got to be joking. Elder Ye was exceedingly formidable. Offending him, wouldn''t they be unable to bear the consequences of it?


    Seeing everyone quieten down, Ye Yuan said to Xuan Yu, "Second Elder, this matter had best be left to you."


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Elders, since everyone is determined to get this Vastsun Universe Pill, then why don''t �� we hold an auction on the spot to determine the ownership of this medicinal pill. What does everybody think?"


    The moment everyone heard, they could not help being surprised.


    Who said that Second Elder was a benign person who never tried to offend anybody, this method was vicious!


    Auctioning on the spot, no one had any way to rely on connections.


    After today, the various major families would definitely pull all sorts of strings to find the Pill Tower to intercede.


    At that time, wanting to sell at a higher price would clearly be impossible.


    But now, open and transparent, everyone used money to talk. No one could say anything.


    This way, they could maximize the benefits of this medicinal pill. It was a good thing for the Pill Tower too.


    After all, the Pill Tower had so many elders and disciples. The spirit medicines required and divine essence stones expended were at an extremely terrifying number.


    The Pill Tower needed to earn money too!


    "I have no objections, do it as Second Elder says then."


    "Mn, let nature take its course, I have no objections."


    "Just nice, we can also test the value of a void spirit divine-grade medicinal pill. I think that this method is good!"


    ...


    In front of so many people, even if the various elders had some ideas, they naturally did not dare to refute Second Elder either.


    After all, saying this sort of word publicly would harm the Pill Tower''s interests.


    Who dared to slam themselves onto the spearhead at the risk of universal condemnation.


    Second Elder smiled slightly and said, "Alright, then it''s settled. Deacon Zhang, you''re the best at this kind of thing. This auction will be hosted by you then."


    Deacon Zhang stepped out of the ranks and said, "Yes, Second Elder."


    Below, those major families'' powerhouses all cried bitterness without ceasing.


    They knew that this medicinal pill was too popular!


    Once it entered the auction process, it would definitely greatly exceed three or five hundred million.


    This way, for them to want to get this medicinal pill, they would have to spend a lot more money.


    Who said that Second Elder was easy to bully? When an honest person schemed, it killed even more subtly without shedding blood.


    However, they were seriously unable to refuse the temptation of the void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill. This medicinal pill, they were determined to get it.


    One had to know, this medicinal pill could truly enhance the family''s strength. Compared to those ordinary medicinal pills, even spending up to a billion was also worth the money.


    After all, money could be earned again, but this medicinal pill would not be refined during normal days.


    The Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had already existed for no idea how many tens of thousands of years, a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill was an epoch-making first time ever!


    ...


    Deacon Zhang carefully collected the medicinal pill, placed it inside the jade box, and put it on the table in front of him.


    "Everybody, this Zhang has consulted with the elders earlier, the base price for this Vastsun Universe Pill is �� 500 million low-grade divine essence stones! Each increment has to be no less than 20 million divine essence stones," Deacon Zhang said in a clear voice.


    At this time, the large and small families in the inner city already sent a representative over to bid.


    Even those families that did not come also hurriedly sent people over after hearing the news.


    But when they heard the base price set by Deacon Zhang, many small families immediately flinched back.


    500 million low-grade divine essence stones, this base price already reached the price of rank four divine pills!


    This was still just the base price. The final transaction price would definitely be above one billion.


    This price was too scary.


    Not that they did not have this financial power, it was just that betting all of their financial resources on one medicinal pill was clearly unwise.


    Actually, these small families had long known that this medicinal pill, they definitely could not compete with those major families.


    But not coming to compete a bit, they could not get through this hurdle either.


    "Now, the auction begins!" Deacon Zhang said in a clear voice.


    "600 million!"


    "650 million!"


    "700 million!"


    ...


    "900 million!"


    "One billion!"


    Everyone all knew that this auction''s price would definitely be very horrifying. But no one could have expected that the price actually rose to one billion so quickly.


    Deacon Zhang was also secretly tongue-tied in his heart. He had hosted God knows how many auctions before and had never seen before such an enthusiastic increase in prices.


    Normally, in the auctioning process, when there was hesitation, he would make some remarks, encouraging everyone to bid an even higher price.


    But this time, he had yet to say a single word and the price already doubled!


    "1.2 billion!"


    "Humph! This Vastsun Universe Pill, our Shi Family is hell-bent on it! 1.5 billion!" a Shi Family''s elder shouted.


    The Shi Family and Ning Family were the same, both major families of the inner city with tremendous financial power.


    The price of 1.5 billion frightened everyone at once.


    A rank three divine pill was actually auctioned for an astronomical price of 1.5 billion, this was something that no one dared to imagine in the past.


    Deacon Zhang was incomparably shocked in his heart. This was still his first time encountering such an auction.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, the price tripled!


    "1.5 billion! Elder Shi Song has offered a price of 1.5 billion, is there any higher?" Deacon Zhang finally had a chance to speak.


    After a period of silence, a middle-aged man slowly opened his mouth and said, "2 billion!"

 1596 Astounding the World With a Single Brilliant Fea

    Everyone revealed incredibly shocked expressions, looking over towards that middle-aged man.


    "It''s the Ning Family''s elder, Ning Lixiao! My God, he directly raised the bid by 500 million!"


    "Does the Ning Family want to give a plum in return for a peach here, establishing a relationship with Elder Ye?"


    "2 billion to buy a rank three divine pill, crazy! Really crazy!"


    ...


    Shi Song clearly also did not expect that someone would throw a wrench into the works. He looked at Ning Lixiao rather surprisedly.


    Shi Song gritted his teeth and said, "2.1 billion!"


    "2.5 billion!" Ning Lixiao did not bat an eyelid and added 400 million very indifferently.


    Shi Song''s expression changed and he said to Ning Lixiao in a solemn voice, "Ning Lixiao, are you mad? Raising the price like this has no benefits to anyone!"


    Ning Lixiao said coolly, "Since I bid the price, it''s naturally worth this price! Shi Zhiyong needs it, Tianping similarly needs it. Enough crap, the one with the higher price gets it!"


    Shi Song''s face flickered incessantly and he gritted his teeth and said, "2.6 billion! Ning Lixiao, if you have the capabilities, offer until 3 billion!"


    Ning Lixiao gave him a glance and slowly opened his mouth to say: "3.5 billion!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Everyone all drew a cold breath. They had long expected that this Vastsun Universe Pill would be very expensive, but they did not think that it was actually expensive to such an extent!


    For the price of 3.5 billion, one could even purchase some defective divine lord mystic treasure already.


    However, it was just a rank three divine pill!


    Shi Song''s expression changed several times and he said very unhappily, "Ning Lixoa, consider yourself ruthless! Here, this Vastsun Universe Pill is your Ning Family''s!"


    Ning Lixiao clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Shi Song, thanks for giving way."


    "3.5 billion! The Ning Family bids a price of 3.5 billion, is there any higher price?"


    Deacon Zhang paused for a bit, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and then he followed up and said "3.5 billion once! 3.5 billion twice! 3.5 billion thrice! Done! Congratulations to the Ning Family for obtaining Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s historical first void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill!"


    A final gong decided it!


    Everyone all started dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape, not quite daring to believe this price.


    There had never been a rank three divine pill that could sell at a sky-high price of 3.5 billion.


    They even somewhat felt that the Ning Family was taken advantage of this time.


    Even though this medicinal pill was one in a million, the price of 3.5 billion still made them feel that it was not worth it.


    However, Ning Lixiao clearly did not have this awareness.


    After receiving the medicinal pill, he found Ye Yuan and clasped his hands as he said with a smile, "Elder Ye, these few days, Siyu this lass was under your care. I represent the Ning Family to owe you a debt of endless gratitude."


    Ning Lixiao was very smart. Even though he bought the medicinal pill with 3.5 billion, he did not have the intention of using it to show his favor.


    It was as if this medicinal pill was really worth 3.5 billion.


    Instead, he came to find Ye Yuan to express thanks for Ning Siyu''s matters.


    In reality, the Ning Family attached great importance to Ning Siyu.


    The Ning Family had very powerful strength in the Martial Tower, but their influence on the Pill Tower''s side was virtually zero.


    It was not surprising. Grooming an alchemy genius was much harder than grooming a martial arts genius.


    But what made the Ning Family have a headache was that Ning Siyu had always been lazy and made no effort to seek progress previously.


    But today, the Ning Family saw a Ning Siyu who underwent a complete change, this made them overjoyed.


    At this point, who still dared to doubt whether or not Ning Siyu was taught by Ye Yuan?


    Apart from Ye Yuan, who could still make Ning Siyu have such a big change within such a short time?


    Furthermore, the terrifying talent displayed by this young man in front of them was absolutely worth the Ning Family to make friends.


    Although 3.5 billion was a little expensive, this money was worth it!


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart and also smiled and said, "This lass'' talent is pretty good. If it was a piece of rotten wood, I can''t polish it either."


    Ning Lixiao chuckled and said, "What Elder Ye said is true. You aren''t aware, Siyu this girl prides on that her talent surpasses others and is fond of playing and being willful, making our Ning Family worry our heads off, all the way until she met Elder Ye! Now, she finally knows what''s called heaven beyond heaven, and that there''s always someone better. In front of Elder Ye, any genius will be overshadowed!"


    It sounded like flattery, but it came from the bottom of Ning Lixiao''s heart.


    Ning Siyu''s talent was strong, but Song Qiyang''s talent was only stronger and not weaker compared to her. But the result?


    Song Qiyang would not even worthy of carrying Ye Yuan''s shoes!


    Who was Ye Yuan?


    That was an existence who one-shotted Head Elder!


    Once Ye Yuan broke through to Divine Lord Realm, that was a Pill Tower''s power that could not be overlooked, and could virtually stand shoulder to shoulder with the two great elders!


    After today, Ye Yuan''s reputation would spread throughout the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Ye Manor''s door would likely be trampled to the ground.


    "Fangrong, why haven''t you paid respects to Elder Ye? Do you know the rules or not?" Ning Lixiao suddenly said to the Ning Fangrong beside him.


    Ning Fangrong followed by his side like a little wifey who was bullied.


    Back then, he uttered wild ravings in front of Ye Yuan. He did not expect that in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually became the Pill Tower''s elder.


    This change was really damnable!


    "Fangrong �� pays respect to Elder Ye!" Ning Fangrong said with clasped hands.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Long time no see, Young Master Ning. Don''t need to be so awkward."


    Ning Fangrong said embarrassedly, "In the past, it was Fangrong who was insensible, hope that Elder Ye doesn''t take it to heart."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I''m not so petty yet. Let the past matters be written off."


    The small conflict between Ye Yuan and Ning Fangrong, Ning Lixiao was naturally aware as well.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so at this time, his heart also landed back in place.


    At this time, the Shi Family''s elder, Shi Song, also moved over and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, "Elder Ye truly astounds the world with a single brilliant feat! This void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill, this Shi drools with envy. Wonder if �� I can request Elder Ye to take action to refine once more. My Shi Family is willing to offer 2 billion divine essence stones. Elder Ye, please take action once more."


    The Shi Family''s strength was on par with the Ning Family. Gathering a set of spirit medicines to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill was naturally nothing difficult.


    It was just that spirit medicines were easy to find, but an alchemist capable of refining void spirit divine-grade was extremely hard to come across!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Elder Shi''s appreciation. It''s not that Ye Yuan doesn''t wish to take action, but it''s truly that this void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill can''t be casually refined by this Ye. Being able to form the pill today also depends on elements of luck. Why not Elder Shi wait a few more days? When this Ye''s strength rises to a higher level and after I have a certain degree of confidence, I''ll take action to refine it again. How''s that?"


    Actually, this void spirit divine-grade, Ye Yuan already had 60% to 70% assurance in being able to refine it.


    But these words, he naturally would not say to Shi Song.


    The Ning Family just offered a price of 3.5 billion and bade this medicinal pill down. You offered 2 billion and wanted to make me refine me, was it looking down on me, Ye Yuan?


    Furthermore, refining for you for 2 billion, where would the Ning Family''s face go?


    Putting it bluntly, the Shi Family felt that this Vastsun Universe Pill was not worth 3.5 billion.


    However, Ye Yuan was clear, 3.5 billion was the Ning Family profiting!


    Before long, the Ning Family would understand.


    The Ning Family and Shi Family, which was far and which was close, Ye Yuan could still differentiate it very clearly. He naturally would not do this kind of thing that bit the hand who fed him.


    Shi Song had a regretful look and said, "Then �� after Elder Ye breaks through, this Shi will thicken my face and drop by to request for the pill again!"

 1597 Spatial Inheritance

    Sure enough, the following few days, Ye Manor''s doorway was trampled to the ground.


    Requesting for pills, acknowledging as a master, sucking up to people, so on and so forth.


    Long Zhan was the Ye Manor''s chief steward now. These few days, it busied him terribly.


    The people coming to the Ye Manor, the lousiest were also Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    Origin Deity Realm juniors could only follow behind their elders obediently and give Ye Yuan their regards.


    Originally, he was still somewhat not used to it. But later, he discovered that everyone was unbelievably courteous to him.


    Only then did he knew that being stained by Ye Yuan''s light, even though his realm was not high, he already became Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s most in-demand chief steward.


    Most likely, Head Elder''s and Second Elder''s stewards could not compare to him now either.


    After so many years of trials, Ye Yuan already returned to him his freedom when he came back this time.


    Ever since then, Long Zhan was even more committed to Ye Yuan.


    He knew that Ye Yuan could give him a future with infinite possibilities.


    At this time, he looked at Lin Dong from a commanding position and said coolly, "You go back, His Excellency won''t see you."


    Lin Dong was full of bitterness in his heart. How could he know that Ye Yuan was actually such an astonishing great talent?


    A moment of hesitation offended Elder Ye, this great deity, to the core.


    Lin Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Steward Long, I know that Elder Ye is dissatisfied with this Lin. But this time, I specially came to make a humble apology and ask for punishment. Steward Long, please notify!"


    Long Zhan did not even ask for instructions and directly shut the door in Lin Dong''s face.


    Long Zhan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Protector Lin, sometimes �� there will only be one chance. Miss it and it will never come back again. Wavering hesitantly when the opportunity comes will only ruin your own future."


    Lin Dong said vexedly, "Steward Long, this matter was indeed this Lin''s fault. It''s just ��"


    Long Zhan interrupted him and said, "It''s just that Head Elder is powerful, you don''t dare to offend, is it? Protector Lin, if you were His Excellency, do you think that he''d continue to use you? It''s precisely because Head Elder is powerful that he needed you to step forward bravely at that time, isn''t that so? You wanted to wait for a victor to be decided between Head Elder and Second Elder before choosing which team to side with, don''t you feel that it''s very shameful?"


    Lin Dong opened his mouth but could not find the words to refute.


    Long Zhan said coolly, "Protector Lin, I''m just an insignificant servant. Not that I''m intentionally making things difficult for you, but I have to try to figure out the intentions of upstairs too. If I can''t share His Excellency''s worries, before long, I''d be kicked out by His Excellency too. You''re a high and mighty Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, while I''m just an unexceptional minor character. Once I''m kicked out by His Excellency, there wouldn''t be room for me to survive in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City anymore!"


    Long Zhan said these words neither obsequiously nor haughtily, and also lightly plucked himself out. It could be said to be watertight.


    Lin Dong gave Long Zhan a deep glance and said with a bitter smile, "Following Elder Ye, Steward Long''s future accomplishments definitely won''t be beneath this Lin''s! I''ve disturbed everyone, so this Lin will take his leave!"


    Finished talking, Lin Dong took his leave.


    Ye Yuan was able to refine a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill. Wanting to create a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse was truly too easy.


    Long Zhan''s talents might never be able to step into the Divine Lord Realm. But it could not be helped that he followed a good master who might help him to break through!


    Looking at Lin Dong''s departing back view, Long Zhan just smiled.


    Actually, he thought so as well.


    ...


    "You want to enter the Martial Tower to train?"


    Inside the Ye Manor''s lounge, when Xuan Yu heard that Ye Yuan actually wanted to go to the Martial Tower to cultivate, he had a look of amazement.


    As an elder, they could enter the Pill Tower or Martial Tower once every hundred years.


    Presently, the Pill Tower and Martial Tower were opened. The disciples selected were also going to enter inside to cultivate.


    But Xuan Yu never thought that Ye Yuan was actually not going into the Pill Tower to cultivate. Instead, he decided to enter the Martial Tower.


    Looking at the surprised Xuan Yu, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What does Second Elder feel that I can comprehend further by entering the Pill Tower?"


    Xuan Yu could not help choking. Ruminating for a moment, he discovered that Ye Yuan really did not seem to have anything he could comprehend by entering the Pill Tower.


    Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao strength had virtually reached the pinnacle already.


    The comprehensions inside the Pill Tower were likely mostly of little value to him.


    Ye Yuan could even refine a void spirit divine-grade divine pill. The comprehensions that could help him were truly in the minority.


    The remaining road could only rely on Ye Yuan himself to walk.


    Xuan Yu thought about it and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "You brat, if those words were heard by outsiders, who knows what they would think. However �� what you said is true. There truly isn''t too many things that can help you inside the Pill Tower."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that there are spatial law comprehensions inside the Martial Tower?"


    Xuan Yu''s expression changed and he said, "You want to go and comprehend spatial laws? No way, it''s too dangerous!"


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "Isn''t it just comprehending Dao? Why would it be dangerous?"


    The reason why he had the thought of entering the Martial Tower was because of spatial laws.


    He seemed to have reached a bottleneck comprehending spatial laws himself and had never made too big of a breakthrough all along.


    Hearing that there was a complete spatial laws inheritance in the Martial Tower, Ye Yuan had the idea stirring in his mind, but he did not think that there was actually danger in it.


    Xuan Yu said, "The comprehensions of spatial laws were left behind by a Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s predecessor. Inside the tower contains spatial laws first-layered heaven and second-layered heaven complete law comprehensions. But the comprehension of spatial laws is extremely dangerous. A single misstep and you would be lost inside, never getting out."


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up and he said rather surprisedly, "It''s actually so dangerous?"


    Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Spatial laws is an extremely high-level law, who wouldn''t it be fatal? But after that predecessor left behind the inheritance, he once warned future generations, saying that we have to think twice before we act. However, how many can resist the temptation of spatial laws? That generation, there were several dozen disciples who entered inside, even quite a number of elders. But �� not a single one came out before! Later, there were naturally disciples who did not believe in heresy as well, insisting on entering inside. But, until now, nobody has yet to be able to walk out of inside before! That place is already all of the Martial Tower disciples'' forbidden land."


    Ye Yuan was alarmed when he heard it. He did not expect that comprehending spatial laws would even be so perilous.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Xuan Yu even thought that Ye Yuan was afraid and said with a smile, "Ye Yuan, your Alchemy Dao talent is impressive. So you should focus on Alchemy Dao. You''ll have greater achievements in the future! There are times when a person''s strength just won''t cut it. Walking on the path of martial arts and alchemy at the same time, one might be empty-handed in the end!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Second Elder''s concern, but I have a score in my heart. Hence �� this Martial Tower, I still want to go and give it a try!"


    Xuan Yu even thought that he had already convinced Ye Yuan. Who knew that saying it was like not saying, he still insisted on entering the Martial Tower.


    The Pill Tower finally managed to acquire such an unparalleled genius. If he fell inside the Martial Tower, it would really be painful until they could not breathe!


    Why was this boy so stubborn?


    Ye Yuan naturally had his thoughts. In the view of Second Elder, there was the Martial Tower guarding, they could focus on studying Alchemy Dao.


    But to Ye Yuan, he would not place his hopes on others.


    Only when one''s own strength was powerful that one could protect themselves!


    This was a lesson he learned and paid in blood, so he would not repeat it!

 1598 Chaotic Space

    "Hey, did you guys hear? Elder Ye actually wants to enter the Martial Tower''s spatial inheritance!"


    "No way, right? Isn''t this seeking death? Spatial inheritance, I never heard that anyone could come out of that place before!"


    "Elder Ye is such a prodigious character, and yet, he actually wants to go and commit suicide!"


    "Could it be that the elders are going to watch him commit suicide just like this?"


    ...


    Opening the inheritance, this sort of thing, could not be concealed. The news of Ye Yuan wanting to enter the spatial inheritance spread throughout the inner city very soon.


    This action of Ye Yuan''s made everyone very puzzled.


    A Pill Tower elder, run to the Martial Tower to join in the excitement for what?


    It was fine if going to the Martial Tower, to actually run into the most terrifying spatial inheritance.


    Was this being tired of living?


    "Huhu, youngsters are like this, thinking that they have some talent and consider everything and everyone beneath their notice. He thinks that he''s different from the rest and can come out of the spatial inheritance. But in reality, nobody has ever come out before."


    When Head Elder heard this news, his heart burst into joy.


    These few days, he did not even dare to walk out of his front door. He truly had no face to go out.


    He, the exalted head elder, was actually defeated at the hands of a Three-star Alchemy God. This made him feel like he had no face to see people.


    But today, his mood was exceptionally pleased, because Ye Yuan was actually going to challenge the spatial inheritance.


    "Master, this Ye Yuan, one look and it''s clear that he doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth. No matter how high this kind of person''s talent is, he can''t live long either!" Song Qiyang said by the side.


    These few days, it was hard on this pair of master and disciple, both not going out of the front door and not stepping out of the second door. They were even embarrassed to meet guests.


    Ruo Xu nodded his head and said with a smile, "The spatial laws are incomparably difficult. That predecessor used several tens of thousands of years before barely managing to comprehend two levels. Who does that Ye Yuan think he is?"


    Song Qiyang said excitedly, "Second Elder actually can''t stop him either. With this, a general that Second Elder''s side just acquired is actually gone right away. Hahaha."


    Ruo Xu sneered and said, "Do you think that Xuan Yu can control that kid? With that kid''s ambition, he won''t submit to anybody! Moreover, Xuan Yu is at most evenly-matched with me too. What right does he have to have Ye Yuan became one of his generals?"


    Song Qiyang''s expression changed. He really had not thought about this.


    "Then just what relationship the two of them have?" Song Qiyang racked his brains in extreme terror as he said in surprise.


    Ruo Xu smiled coldly and said, "Heh, what relationship can there be? If my conjectures are right, Xuan Yu should have learned quite a bit from Ye Yuan! If you must put it in terms of relationship, it''s at most considered an alliance!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Song Qiyang sucked in a cold breath.


    He was still unable to believe until now that a kid who was so much younger than him could actually have such terrifying Alchemy Dao attainments.


    Even Master and Second Elder, this level of existences, were unable to shake each other.


    ...


    A deacon managing the Martial Tower asked Ye Yuan doubtfully, "Elder Ye, you really want to enter the spatial inheritance?"


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan did not know the danger of the spatial inheritance, but Ye Yuan still came.


    He kept feeling that this thing was too fake. How could there be someone who would do this kind of stupid thing?


    Confidence in their own talent?


    If it was the Pill Tower, no one would doubt it.


    But this was the Martial Tower!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''ll have to trouble Deacon Ling to send me right in!"


    Deacon Ling was helpless and could only activate the transmission array.


    Ye Yuan walked into the transmission array. A light flashed and he entered inside the Martial Tower.


    "This place is ��"


    Ye Yuan saw the surrounding scenery and could not help drawing a cold breath.


    He seemed to have been situated amidst countless mirrors. Inside the mirrors, there were countless reflections of him.


    With only one glance, Ye Yuan felt his eye blur, his head dizzy.


    "This place is a chaotic space. Your individual reflection is projected inside countless spaces, that''s why this kind of phenomenon would appear. If you can''t find the way out, you''ll forever be lost inside these spaces. Furthermore, between spaces, spatial extrusion might be produced, just like spatial turbulent flows. A single misstep and you''ll be crushed into smithereens!" Dustless''s voice sounded out inside Ye Yuan''s mind.


    Ye Yuan instantly understood and said in surprise, "To actually use this kind of method to cultivate spatial laws, it''s truly inconceivable. The senior who left behind this inheritance is really an astonishing genius!"


    "Heh, you don''t be in a hurry to praise first, this overlapping space isn''t that easy to clear. Otherwise, there also wouldn''t be so many geniuses who perish here. Even for you, a single misstep and you would also lose your life!" Dustless warned.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I can feel the spatial laws here. Even though I only grasp a superficial understanding of spatial laws currently, this first-layered heaven should be shrinking earth into an inch! I think it can''t stump me[1]!"


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan only comprehended spatial laws through Sword Dao and did not know anything at all.


    But later, Ye Yuan''s comprehensions toward spatial laws became increasingly more profound, gradually having a hint of understanding in his heart.


    First-layered heaven seemed to be the application of space in a small area.


    Putting it bluntly, it was shrinking earth into an inch.


    Making use of the comprehension towards, small-scale shuttling through the void, catching people by surprise.


    However, what Ye Yuan comprehended was just a bit of smattering. What he was truly strong at was still Sword Dao laws.


    Spatial laws only gave Sword Dao laws a supplementary effect.


    But if one could fully comprehend spatial laws first-layered heaven, then the result would be completely different.


    Even one-shotting half-step Divine Lord powerhouses would be a cinch too.


    "Not good! These chaotic spaces are not static but constantly moving. Ye Yuan, you have to be careful!" Dustless said.


    Sure enough, those overlapping spaces actually started to gradually move.


    Crack! Crack!


    The sound of space squeezing and shattering gave people an immense shock.


    The space where Ye Yuan was at was practically going to be crushed into dust.


    To simply wait and do nothing, Ye Yuan would die without a burial ground.


    How could Ye Yuan still dare to stay? Directly mustering up spatial laws, he shuttled into another region of space.


    But very soon, this space collapsed once more!


    Ye Yuan was incomparably wretched and could only shuttle through space continuously.


    But he discovered very soon that his bit of spatial comprehension was not enough to use at all.


    The space became more and more chaotic. Shuttling through space also became harder and harder.


    This was also just him. If someone who was completely ignorant about spatial laws was here, they would likely have long been ground into powder.


    ...


    Martial Tower first level, which was also the entire Martial Tower''s main center.


    After several days, Head Elder Ruo Xu''s figure suddenly appeared here.


    "Ling Yun, I heard that Elder Ye entered the spatial inheritance. How is it now?" Ruo Xu asked.


    Ling Yun was that deacon guarding the Martial Tower.


    When he saw Head Elder ask about it, he shook his head and said, "The situation is likely not very good. Elder Ye''s aura is getting weaker and weaker. Most likely �� he''ll be lost inside the chaotic space."


    While talking, Deacon Ling fired out a spell. A light screen appeared.


    There was a yellow dot on it. Ruo Xu knew that that represented the aura of Ye Yuan''s life.


    At this time, that yellow dot already became dim, virtually almost disappearing.


    [1] For those unaware, shrinking earth into an inch is referring to a traditional Xianxia skill, where one can essentially travel thousands of miles by shrinking the distance.

 1599 The Person Trapped in the Spatial Inheritance

    Looking at the light dot become dimmer and dimmer, Ling Yun heaved a sigh and said, "What a shame! An alchemy genius is actually going to perish just like this!"


    Once the light dot vanished, it meant that this person was forever lost inside the chaotic space, never able to return.


    But Ruo Xu said disdainfully, "This is him courting death himself! He thinks that refining a void spirit divine-grade divine pill makes him exceptional, and doesn''t need to listen to other people''s advice anymore! Can''t even make it through a few days and he actually dares to enter the spatial inheritance!"


    Ling Yun gave Ruo Xu a glance but did not dare to follow up.


    The struggle of the upper echelons was not what he, this kind of small fry, could get involved with.


    He also understood Head Elder''s intention of coming today, but he could not say anything no matter what.


    Suddenly, Ling Yun''s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Mn? The light dot lit up again!"


    Ruo Xu''s expression changed, discovering that that originally already dim light dot really lit up once more.


    "Huhu, looks like got to disappoint Head Elder!" Suddenly, Xuan Yu''s voice sounded out from behind.


    Ling Yun immediately felt his head swell. Two big shots coming here at the same time, it was really an unprecedented encounter!


    But Elder Ye was also worthy of two great elders coming in person.


    Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, "Merely dragging out his feeble existence! The dangers of the spatial inheritance, it''s not like you are unaware of them!"


    Xuan Yu gave Ruo Xu a profound glance and said, "Head Elder is quite moody huh! Elder Ye is our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s pillar of society. If he dies inside, it doesn''t seem to have any benefits to the imperial city, right?"


    Ruo Xu''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "This old man is exasperated at his failure to live up to expectations! He, a Pill Tower elder, run to the Martial Tower to join in what fun? Xuan Yu, if Elder Ye really dies inside, you also have the responsibility that can''t be shirked off!"


    Xuan Yu could not help choking when he heard that. He discovered that when Ye Yuan was not around, he was indeed not Head Elder''s match.


    Going one big circle, he actually trapped himself.


    Ruo Xu gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and left.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan''s light dot actually lit up anew, his mood naturally could not be good.


    Xuan Yu took a look at the light dot on the light screen, calming down slightly.


    But the current Ye Yuan was rather wretched.


    The chaotic space became more and more complicated. His spatial comprehensions were already insufficient to support him shuttling through space anymore.


    Only after expending a Herculean effort, did he find a slightly more stable space that could let him catch his breath.


    "Damn it, under this kind of environment, there''s no way to comprehend spatial laws at all! Does that predecessor want to leave behind an inheritance or kill people?" Ye Yuan said with remorse and anger.


    Dustless said, "This chaotic space is indeed dangerous, but it should have that point just like the end of a thread. If you can find this thread end, you''ll naturally be able to open another door!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I understand the logic, but wanting to find this thread end is easier said than done."


    Dustless smiled and said, "Do you think that spatial laws are cabbages? Those able to comprehend spatial laws are all one-in-a-million geniuses. Even though you drew parallels from inference and comprehended spatial laws, you know the how aspect now, but don''t know the why part. Even though you can barely preserve your life inside the chaotic space, comprehending spatial laws isn''t that easy."


    Hearing Dustless''s words, Ye Yuan had a flash of inspiration, seemingly grasping something.


    "Senior, what did you say just now?" Ye Yuan asked with an anxious look.


    Dustless froze and said, "I said, you know the how, but don''t know the why."


    Ye Yuan hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Not this sentence, it''s that sentence before!"


    Dustless was full of puzzlement and thought about it and said, "Drew parallels from inference and comprehended spatial laws. Why, is there a problem?"


    Ye Yuan slapped his thigh and said with delight, "That''s it! Why am I so stupid! I comprehended laws with Sword Dao, so why do I have to attend to the trivialities and neglect the fundamentals, forcefully relying on myself to comprehend it?"


    Dustless froze and said in a daze, "That works too?"


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Of course it works! Senior, thank you very much for your reminder! Otherwise, I would still dodge until god knows when foolish!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took out the Junyi Sword.


    "Misty Sword Art!"


    Ye Yuan''s long sword moved, immediately entering an ethereal state.


    In the midst of the sword art, spatial laws automatically flowed.


    In virtually an instant, the entire space became berserk.


    However, Ye Yuan was completely clueless, still wrapped up in his sword art.


    Crack! Crack!


    Space shattered!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan''s figure vanished on the spot, entering into another area of space.


    Ye Yuan did not stop, continuing to brandish his long sword like changing venues.


    The surrounding space continuously shattered, arriving at another region of space again.


    Ye Yuan discovered that it was still when he was using the Misty Sword Art that he was the most unrestrained.


    Compared to using spatial laws by itself, his perception towards spatial laws under this kind of state currently was a little higher.


    But even so, spatial laws also could not be comprehended when one wanted to comprehend.


    Fall went and spring came, there were no seasonal changes inside the chaotic space. In a twinkle, three years'' time passed.


    These three years, Ye Yuan had been practicing the sword constantly.


    Looking closely, Ye Yuan''s present sword art was much more exquisite than before, becoming even more erratic.


    Clearly, his comprehension of spatial laws became even deeper.


    On this day, Ye Yuan suddenly produced a hint of understanding in his heart. Stabbing a sword out, his entire person seemed to tear across the sky, directly shuttling through the void!


    Boom!


    This space was directly punched through by him, shattering into pieces!


    Suddenly, the scenery before Ye Yuan''s eyes abruptly changed, arriving in an unknown space.


    This region of space was clearly much more stable than those spaces he stayed at previously.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze suddenly turned intent, titanic waves surging in his heart.


    Because not far away, there was actually someone!


    A living person!


    That person was currently meditating. At this time, he slowly opened both eyes and looked over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan immediately revealed a vigilant look because he was currently holding the Junyi Sword in his hand.


    The Junyi Sword was a divine lord mystic treasure. It was hard to guarantee that the other party did not have wicked designs aroused.


    Ye Yuan could not see through the other party''s situation, but through Dustless, he already knew that the other party was a third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse!


    Even though Ye Yuan did not fear the other party, the necessary caution was still needed.


    That was a man dressed in black, his face seemed aged, and his gaze was lacking in luster like he was already dead.


    Ye Yuan understood very quickly, the other party was likely a Martial Tower genius from very long ago who attempted to enter and comprehend spatial laws like him.


    Except, he was trapped here, unable to go out.


    Ye Yuan completely did not think that there was actually still someone surviving in this space.


    That person sized up Ye Yuan. Using a hoarse voice, he opened his mouth and said, "Another one who came to seek his own doom! Brat, you don''t need to be so guarded. Arriving here, you''ll never get out. There''s no use for me to want your divine lord mystic treasure."


    Feeling confused, Ye Yuan''s brows raised up and he said, "Why is that?"


    That person slowly shut his eyes again and slowly said, "You''ll know very soon."

 1600 Short-lived?

    Ye Yuan put away the Junyi Sword and leisurely walked one round everywhere, and discovered this place''s different aspect very soon.


    This region of space seemed to be very stable, like �� a spatial node.


    "This place is the spatial inheritance''s central point, and it is also the safest place. But arriving here means that you''ll never get out. Unless �� you can fully comprehend the first two levels of spatial laws."


    Seemingly realizing that Ye Yuan discovered something, that black-robed person opened his mouth and said.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. He knew that the black-robed person was not lying. This region of space was very safe, but the space outside was very chaotic.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Wonder what your esteemed self''s name is and how many years have you been trapped here?"


    That black-robed person''s brows knitted slightly and he said in a solemn voice, "Impudent! Junior, to actually dare talk to me like this! If not for this place''s spiritual energy being deficient, I would at least be the Martial Tower''s elder right now!"


    In the view of the black-robed person, according to seniority, Ye Yuan at least had to respectfully address him as a senior.


    But who knew that this kid was so ignorant of the rules, directly calling ''your esteemed self''.


    Even though he was trapped here, his pride was still there.


    Being able to live until now in itself already indicated that he was an extremely formidable genius back then.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder, is it? I''m an elder too. So talking about being on equal footing doesn''t seem to have any problem?"


    "Hahaha!"


    When the black-robed person heard, he immediately let out a peal of hoarse laughter and said, "Kid, do you take me to be trapped here for too long and became muddle-headed, is it? Your hair isn''t even fully grown, elder? This joke isn''t funny at all!"


    If not for seeing that Ye Yuan was a junior of the Martial Tower and the first person to enter this place in so many years, he would have long smacked Ye Yuan to death with one slap.


    This kid actually dared to make fun of him!


    But in the next instant, his gaze suddenly turned sharp, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Ye Yuan''s hand really held a token!


    An elder''s token!


    The black-robed person''s pupils constricted and he revealed a disbelieving look as he exclaimed, "You �� Why would you possess the elder''s token? Pill Tower elder? A Three-star Alchemy God, how can you possibly become the Pill Tower''s elder? No, wait, this token of yours must be fake!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and directly threw the token to the other party.


    The other party inspected it, his gaze revealing a look of astonishment.


    This token was not fake!


    "Ye Yuan! Pill Tower elder! You �� How did you do it?" The black-robed person looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock and asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Becoming the Pill Tower''s elder, it''s naturally because my pill refining standard is passable. If you can go out, you''ll naturally know what''s up."


    The black-robed person''s gaze turned intent and he said with anguish, "Go out? Entering this place, you still want to go out? I, Coldfeather, have been trapped here for 130 thousand years already and can''t find the way to go out! Even if you''re a Pill Tower elder, you can forget about going out from here too!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "130 thousand years? I don''t have so much time to waste here! I''ll just need to be able to go out!"


    Coldfeather snickered and said, "Overestimating your own ability! All of the people who enter the spatial inheritance feel that they can comprehend spatial laws. But they are all dead! Only I''m still eking out a meager existence till this date! This old man assessed his own ability at first. I feel that my talent is superior to others, but then I can only comprehend first-layered heaven spatial laws to late-stage too. Even if your talent far surpasses this old man''s, without several tens of thousands of years, could it be that you can still catch up to this old man?"


    Ye Yuan took out the elder''s token and said with a smile, "Not trying, how would you know?"


    Coldfeather suddenly calmed down and said coolly, "Back then, when this old man just entered, I was the exact same as you, also full of high spirits. When your drive is whittled away clean, you''ll know what''s called despair! Go then!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not answer. He then started to meditate on the spot.


    These three years, Ye Yuan comprehended spatial laws with Sword Dao laws. Now that he shattered space, he had some comprehensions.


    He needed to calm his heart down and contemplate the gains of these three years of cultivation.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan entered a state of emptiness.


    As for Coldfeather, with Dustless keeping watch, he was not worried.


    If Coldfeather attacked, Dustless would control the Purple Extreme Hall right away and pull Ye Yuan inside.


    Coldfeather looked at the Ye Yuan meditating, his gaze full of disdain.


    Coldfeather laughed mockingly and said, "An old person''s sayings are seldom untrue! When you bump until you''re battered and bruised, you''ll be able to experience this old man''s current state of mind."


    ...


    Time ticked away. This meditation of Ye Yuan had already taken half a year''s time.


    On this day, there was suddenly a ripple in space.


    Coldfeather suddenly snapped open his eyes, looking toward Ye Yuan with great surprise.


    "This brat actually broke through to middle-stage first-layered heaven so fast? Turns out that he already comprehended spatial laws. So wonder he can reach until here! Looks like this kid''s talent is really extraordinary!"


    Coldfeather was very sensitive toward spatial laws. The spatial undulations that Ye Yuan triggered were precisely first-layered heaven spatial laws'' middle-stage.


    Through three years of comprehending Dao and also experiencing half a year of accumulation, Ye Yuan finally broke through the bottleneck.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly got up, took out the Junyi Sword, and leaped, entering inside the chaotic space once more.


    Coldfeather looked at Ye Yuan''s disappeared back view and could not help being somewhat puzzled.


    "This boy, comprehending spatial laws, carrying a sword for what?"


    Ye Yuan''s departure was several years'' time.


    When he returned again, Ye Yuan was riddled with tons of gaping wounds, clearly being considerably wounded by the chaotic space.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan had many medicinal pills on him. After consuming medicinal pills, he sat quietly meditated once more.


    After he fully digested these few years of comprehensions, he carried his sword and entered the chaotic space once again, rinse and repeat.


    Coldfeather observed from the sidelines coldly but was disapproving in his heart.


    In his view, Ye Yuan just happened to cultivate to a bottleneck previously, and only broke through successfully by coincidence.


    But spatial laws, the more to the back, the more profound. The time expended would increase exponentially.


    So much so that 10 or 20 thousand years and one would also be unable to advance an inch!


    If spatial laws could be eked out by relying on time, Coldfeather also would not be trapped for 130 thousand years.


    ...


    "Have you heard? Elder Ye had already fallen inside the spatial inheritance!"


    "Such a major thing, how could it be possible to not hear about it?"


    "Sigh, what a shame. Such an astonishing genius actually committed suicide, going to seek death!"


    "Isn''t that so! There has never been anyone capable of coming out of the spatial inheritance. Who does he think he is, to actually do this kind of foolish thing!"


    ...


    Three years after Ye Yuan entered the spatial inheritance, the light dot that represented him finally totally vanished.


    This also represented that Ye Yuan already perished inside the spatial inheritance.


    When this news came out of the Martial Tower, it immediately rocked the entire inner city.


    The once dazzling genius flowered briefly like the broad-leaved epiphyllum just like this, forever remaining behind in the chaotic space.


    Some people felt sorry, some people had sympathy, some people gloated over other''s misfortune.


    But no one doubted that it was already impossible for Ye Yuan to come out of the spatial inheritance.


    "Sniff, sniff �� I don''t believe it! I don''t believe it! Elder Ye will definitely come out, there''s no way he died inside!"


    Ning Siyu threw herself on Second Elder''s shoulder and wept bitterly without ceasing.

 1601 Fervent Self-confidence

    Looking at the heartbroken Ning Siyu, Xuan Yu also did not know what to say.


    He sighed slightly and said, "This was the path that he chose, nobody can change it. Sigh, before leaving, he entrusted me to take good care of his dear ones. We can only put in what meager effort we can."


    Entering the spatial inheritance in time, Ye Yuan did not bring Li-er they all inside.


    After all, the journey this time was very perilous. If he was trapped inside the chaotic space, no matter how many divine essence stones Ye Yuan had, it could not support the necessary expenditure.


    Without divine essence stones to provide spiritual energy, the Purple Extreme Hall was also just a metal lump.


    At this time, Lu Yi suddenly came in and said to Xuan Yu with a bow, "Master, Head Elder that side gave notice to have you go and take part in the elders meeting."


    Xuan Yu''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Came so fast! He can''t even wait for a moment?"


    Lu Yi also had a solemn expression as he said, "Master, even though the time we know Elder Ye wasn''t long, he had tremendous grace toward our lineage. We ��"


    Xuan Yu gave a cold snort and said, "You rascal, could it be that in your heart, your master is that sort of person who repays kindness with ingratitude?"


    Lu Yi was a little embarrassed as he smiled. Xuan Yu slowly got up and went to the Elders Hall.


    ...


    Ruo Xu glanced at Xuan Yu and said with a grim look, "Even though this old man once had some unpleasantness with Elder Ye, I still held his strength with great respect! Originally, Elder Ye would become our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s pillar of society, but he perished inside the spatial inheritance. This old man feels deeply aggrieved!"


    Ruo Xu had an appearance of shedding crocodile tears. Those present naturally would not think that having an elders meeting was in order to mourn over Ye Yuan.


    Sure enough, his face fell and he said to Xuan Yu, "Second Elder, this matter, you have an inescapable responsibility! Your personal relationship with Elder Ye is considered the best. You clearly know that the spatial inheritance is very dangerous. Why didn''t you stop him?"


    Actually, Xuan Yu also condemned himself greatly in his heart.


    He heaved a sigh and said with a nod, "What Head Elder said is right. This matter, I indeed have a responsibility. If my attitude back then could be a little firmer, perhaps Elder Ye wouldn''t have entered inside."


    Ruo Xu snorted coldly and said, "What''s the use of saying this now? Since you have no objections towards this, then I propose for you to forfeit 10 years of all resources enjoyed, do you have objections?"


    The muscles on Xuan Yu''s face twitched, but he said nothing and directly left.


    Head Elder looked at Xuan Yu''s back, the corners of his mouth revealing a smug smile.


    ...


    On this day, Lin Dong brought a group of people and came to the Ye Manor.


    He came today to chase Li-er they all out.


    Ye Yuan already died. So Head Elder could not wait to erase all of Ye Yuan''s sense of being.


    "Steward Long, we meet again," Lin Dong looked at Long Zhan and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Long Zhan snorted coldly and said, "You look pleased with yourself huh!"


    Lin Dong smiled indifferently and said, "Could it be that I shouldn''t be pleased with myself? Not long ago, you were still lecturing me here. But now, you all don''t even have a place to stay anymore. Looking at it now, it seems like my choice back then wasn''t wrong."


    Long Zhan''s expression flickered incessantly, but White Light by the side could not watch on anymore and said with a cold snort, "Lin Dong, let me tell you, Big Brother won''t die! When he comes back, all of you will tremble!"


    Lin Dong laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Haha, looking at your expressions, seems like you all don''t think that Ye Yuan would die! You guys are really fervently self-confident. The Martial Tower''s spatial inheritance, those who entered has never come out before! You actually tell me that Ye Yuan will come back? It''s really killing me!"


    Li-er gave Lin Dong a glance and said coolly, "Other people not coming out doesn''t mean that Big Brother Yuan won''t come out! If you don''t believe it, let''s wait and see!"


    Lin Dong felt that this group of people was simply impervious to reason. He originally wanted to come and reprove them well, who knew that this bunch of fellows completely did not believe that Ye Yuan already died.


    His face fell and he said with a cold snort, "The few of you, don''t think that with Second Elder protecting you guys, you can be high and mighty like before! Let this protector tell you this. Without Ye Yuan, you all are just a bunch of ants! Before long, your corpses might be strewn on the streets! Now, get lost for me!"


    White Light still wanted to say something, but he was held back by Li-er who said indifferently, "Let''s go!"


    ...


    "Kid, don''t waste your effort anymore! You''ll eventually mess yourself to death one day like this," Coldfeather looked at the Ye Yuan covered with cuts and bruises and said coolly.


    Not that he did not want to go out, but that it was seriously too dangerous inside the chaotic space.


    A single misstep and he would play himself to death.


    These few years, he watched Ye Yuan enter the chaotic space time and again, fooling around by himself until he was about to die over and over again. Hence, he could not resist secretly scolding that Ye Yuan was a lunatic in his heart.


    Over 130 thousand years of loneliness made Coldfeather very much long for someone to interact with.


    If a person finally managed to come in but died in the end, he would really cry until he had no place to cry.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, "I came to this place in order to comprehend spatial laws. Not entering the chaotic space to comprehend, could it be staying here and wait for death?"


    "Heh, I was the same as you when I just came in, also running into the chaotic space every day, thinking that I can comprehend spatial laws. But, thousands of years passed, the spatial laws that I comprehended became lesser and lesser, but my injuries grew heavier and heavier. All the way until one time, I almost didn''t come back, and I never dared to go in again," Coldfeather said.


    Coldfeather was frightened. That time, he was badly wounded and on the verge of death, almost dying in the chaotic space.


    After returning to this spatial node, he recuperated for a full decade before recovering.


    Since then, he never dared to enter the chaotic space again.


    The chaotic space that Ye Yuan was at previously was just the peripherals of the entire spatial inheritance. The power of the spatial collapse was not considered strong.


    But this spatial node''s chaotic space, once it collapsed, the power would be unimaginable.


    A single misstep and one would perish, their Dao disappearing.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If I were you, I''ll enter again!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored Coldfeather and started meditating.


    Coldfeather naturally did not know that these few years, Ye Yuan''s spatial laws improved further. It was just that his closed-seclusion inside the spatial node was all meditative comprehensions.


    Without him breaking through, Coldfeather would not be able to feel it.


    Comprehending spatial laws with Sword Dao was indeed a shortcut.


    Although compared to the past, the difficulty was more than a hundred times, a thousand times greater, without a doubt, Ye Yuan was continuously improving.


    Ye Yuan said so, and he achieved it.


    A few times, when Ye Yuan returned from the chaotic space, he was virtually already at his last gasp.


    Coldfeather naturally could not dispense with taunting and jeering remarks by the side. But after Ye Yuan recuperated his injuries, he resolutely entered the chaotic space once more.


    Coldfeather''s expression at that time was really fascinating to the max.


    Apart from scolding that Ye Yuan was a madman non-stop, Coldfeather seriously could not find a better adjective.


    Just like this, the days passed by, from one year to another, Ye Yuan''s spatial laws improved with each passing day.

 1602 Hundred Years of Dao Enlightenmen

    The prime of youth easily passed. Time flashed by. In a blink, over ten years passed.


    On this day, a spatial ripple occurred in the spatial node once again.


    Coldfeather''s entire body trembled all over, suddenly snapping open both eyes and staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    "Impossible! It''s just been over ten years, and he actually already comprehended late-stage first-layered heaven spatial laws?"


    Coldfeather kind of doubted whether just now was a misconception or not. One had to know, he was also merely late-stage first-layered heaven currently!


    Back then, he spent over ten thousand years and comprehended to this step, and even patted himself on the back, feeling quite satisfied.


    After all, entering the spatial inheritance, there was only him who could survive.


    However, this guy in front of him whose hair was not even fully grown yet was actually already keeping up with him!


    Coldfeather was instantly flustered.


    These few years, he had no lack of reproving Ye Yuan.


    It was not that he wanted to scheme on something, but it was just that he felt that Ye Yuan was wasting his life.


    He felt that Ye Yuan would come to regret it one day.


    But now, he discovered that he was so ignorant.


    He only used over a decade''s time and went from middle-stage to late-stage!


    This disparity could only use the difference like cloud and mud to describe it.


    What was this called?


    There would not be harm without comparison!


    Finally, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. His eyes also faintly revealed excitement.


    Spatial laws were indeed entirely different from the laws that he comprehended in the past; too difficult!


    The Heavenspan World''s spatial structure was on a completely different level from the Immortal Grove World.


    Space was the foundation to give rise to myriad life. It was one of the forms of this world''s most fundamental source.


    If there wasn''t space, whatever Sword Dao laws, whatever laws of fire, whatever laws of wind, they would not have the foundation to exist at all.


    The more he comprehended, the more Ye Yuan felt its extensiveness and profoundness.


    "You �� You broke through?" Although he knew the answer, Coldfeather still could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "So many years of hard work finally wasn''t in vain! But what you said is right. The difficulty of spatial laws indeed exceeded my imaginations! Most likely, I can''t go out within a short time."


    Ye Yuan did not fear the danger of the chaotic space. It was just that not going out within a short time, he was rather worried about Li-er they all.


    But Ye Yuan was still reassured of things with Xuan Yu around. This person''s personality was warm, and both master and disciples also received considerable benefits from him. Presumably, he should take care of Li-er they all.


    Coldfeather swallowed his saliva, feeling rather parched as he said gloomily, "This is spatial law, even if one''s talent is heaven-defying, I''ve also never heard before being able to breakthrough within such a short time! How did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it''s also an accident that I could comprehend spatial laws. It''s because I cultivated Sword Dao laws to a transcendent realm that I drew parallels from inference, and accidentally comprehended spatial laws."


    Coldfeather''s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, "So �� each time you enter the chaotic space, it''s actually entering the space to comprehend spatial laws with Sword Dao?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, considered to have tacitly acknowledged it.


    Coldfeather never thought that there was actually someone capable of comprehending spatial laws through this kind of method.


    Drawing parallels from inference, he naturally knew. But comprehending other laws with this kind of method was normally all lower-level laws.


    It was still his first time hearing of someone being able to comprehend a higher-order law through a lower-order law!


    Although Sword Dao laws were formidable, compared to spatial laws, it was a long way off.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said to Coldfeather with clasped hands, "Brother Coldfeather, I''m going in. If I can comprehend it one day, I''ll bring you out!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took out the Junyi Sword, leaped, and entered the chaotic space once more, leaving behind Coldfeather with a dazed look.


    Suddenly, Coldfeather''s entire body started trembling.


    What did he say just now?


    I �� I can go out?


    I, Coldfeather, actually have a day where I can still go back!


    In these hundred over thousand years, Coldfeather had long given up on hopes of going out already.


    He thought that he would slowly grow old inside this cold space and slowly die.


    But one day, a young man ran in front of him and said, "I''ll bring you out!"


    This kind of agitation, who could understand?


    If Ye Yuan said these sorts of words when he just came in, Coldfeather would definitely turn his nose up in contempt and ridicule the other party''s ignorance.


    In reality, he also did so.


    But now, Coldfeather really saw hope!


    If he developed according to this momentum, perhaps Ye Yuan could really comprehend spatial laws?


    Coldfeather discovered that he, this so-called genius, was on a completely different level from Ye Yuan.


    Not just comprehension ability, also tenacity and heart of Martial Dao!


    Coldfeather knew that this kind of cultivation was completely dreary and tasteless.


    Being able to go up a level, one would definitely somewhat relax their thinking.


    But Ye Yuan did not even stop for a second and plunge into training once more.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan narrowly escaped death inside the chaotic space. After treating it, he would enter the chaotic space once more without hesitation.


    But him?


    He was still afraid!


    He had come to terms with death!


    But Ye Yuan became more courageous in the face of setbacks. He could defeat his heart of fear.


    ...


    Time flew by quickly. In a twinkle, another 20 years passed.


    Inside the chaotic space, Ye Yuan''s figure was akin to an illusion, flashing erratically.


    Suddenly, he stopped in a region of space, his brows tightly locked.


    "My first-layered heaven spatial laws had already been perfected for quite a while now. But this second-layered heaven, I keep failing to find the breakthrough point. Second-layered heaven, just what is it?" Ye Yuan muttered to himself.


    Spatial inheritance, the inheritances left behind were exceedingly few. The people who knew its profundities were even in the minority.


    Ye Yuan entered first-layered heaven spatial laws by stumbling about blindly.


    But this second-layered heaven, he kept failing to comprehend it.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze suddenly landed on the space above his head.


    There was his reflection.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up, a hint of understanding flashed across in his heart.


    ...


    A hundred years in a flash, this was an extremely short time to any Deity Realm powerhouse.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was like the sea had changed into a mulberry field.


    After rebirthing, all of his cultivation time added together was also merely a short hundred over years.


    But comprehending spatial laws actually used a hundred years of his time.


    On this day, Ye Yuan was in closed-seclusion in the spatial node.


    All of a sudden, the entire space started trembling.


    The originally incomparably stable spatial node actually had signs of collapsing too.


    Coldfeather was greatly alarmed and said, "What happened? Mn? Ye Yuan he �� he comprehended the laws?"


    Coldfeather looked over towards Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was clearly right in front of him, but was so unreal.


    This kind of feeling was contradictory to the extreme.


    In these 100 years, Ye Yuan''s growth, he took it all into his sights and had long prostrated on all fours in admiration already.


    He finally knew that there was an insurmountable gulf between him and Ye Yuan.


    Genius was already insufficient to describe this young man.


    But even so, he also did not think that this day actually came so quickly!


    Rumble ��


    The spatial node started collapsing, fragmenting into countless pieces. A terrifying energy undulation squeezed over toward Coldfeather.


    Coldfeather''s expression changed and he cried out in alarm, "Ye Yuan �� s-save me!"

 1603 Bullying People Too Far

    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and took a step out, and he then instantly arrived beside Coldfeather.


    He grabbed Coldfeather''s collar and said coolly, "Come, let''s go out."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took a step out once more, and already entered inside the chaotic space.


    The surrounding space was collapsing non-stop. The horrifying energy undulation made Coldfeather''s heart palpitating.


    These energy undulations, if he touched a little bit, it was also dying without any burial ground.


    However, Ye Yuan brought him along akin to strolling idly in a courtyard, shuttled back and forth inside these chaotic spaces without any obstruction at all.


    Seeing these surrounding spaces shatter piece by piece, but it was like they were situated between two worlds, it did not affect them at all.


    After the astonishment, Coldfeather was envious to the extreme.


    What did he enter this spatial inheritance for?


    Wasn''t it in order to comprehend spatial laws?!


    Only a short while ago, he was also puffed up with pride, thinking that he could rely on his outstanding talent to comprehend spatial laws and become a powerhouse of his generation.


    But the blow of reality made him utterly give up hope.


    Spatial laws were really not what so-called geniuses could comprehend.


    All the way until later, Coldfeather thought that it was completely impossible for someone to comprehend spatial laws in the spatial inheritance.


    Hence, after Ye Yuan entered, he beat Ye Yuan down relentlessly without any mercy, mocking him for overestimating his own ability.


    But today, this young man in front of him really succeeded!


    Furthermore, he only used 100 years!


    This made him have an impulse to vomit blood.


    This kid was simply a freak!


    He was clearly the Pill Tower''s elder and was actually so perverse when comprehending spatial laws.


    Just how freakish was this guy?!


    ...


    During these 100 years, for Yue Mengli and the others, their days were tough.


    Although there was Xuan Yu looking after, he was the second elder, standing high above the masses after all. It was also not possible to care for them every day in all matters no matter how major or trivial.


    When time passed, there would always be many vexing issues.


    Xuan Yu arranged for them a large residence in the city, letting Li-er and the rest stay inside.


    All food and clothing were also not an issue.


    It was just that Xuan Yu''s instructions were Xuan Yu''s instructions. When it reached people below, it was another matter altogether.


    "Truly preposterous! Now, the divine essence stones given to us are lesser and lesser. At this rate, how will we still cultivate?" White Light said furiously.


    Li-er heaved a sigh and said, "Big Brother Yuan has been gone for a hundred years, his prestige has long already been lost. For Second Elder to be able to remember their old friendship and take extra care of us, it''s already rather not easy."


    White Light said furiously, "That Zhou Wei, simply bullying people too far! No way, I can''t stomach this, I''m going to find Second Elder!"


    Li-er hurriedly pulled him and said, "Enough, don''t cause any more trouble! Before Big Brother Yuan comes out, we all don''t bring trouble on ourselves anymore! If you go to find Second Elder right now, putting aside whether or not he can meet us, even if you can meet him and then he punishes Zhou Wei fiercely, and then after that? In the future, Zhou Wei will definitely go from bad to worse! Big Brother Yuan''s favor can be used for some time, but can''t be used for life. If Big Brother Yuan were to really stay inside for a thousand years, do you feel that Second Elder''s lineage can still protect us for so long?"


    Clearly, Li-er saw through the current situation very incisively.


    Originally, with their strength, it was impossible to enter the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s inner city.


    The reason why they could still remain here was entirely because of Ye Yuan.


    Second Elder was indeed a good person that was quite rare to find. But he was the second elder who was far removed from the masses after all. He was not in the same world as them, these people, at all.


    At first, Second Elder might take care of them because of his relationship with Ye Yuan.


    However, there would always come a time when a favor is used up.


    A powerhouse like Second Elder, one closed-seclusion might be several hundred, a thousand years, how could he keep on taking care of them?


    The few of them were merely Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s bottom-level residents. Staying in such a mansion was already out of the norm in the first place.


    Such a situation, how could it not attract people''s covetous eyes?


    Yue Mengli was very clear, as long as Ye Yuan did not come back, this kind of situation could continue to deteriorate.


    Going to find Second Elder might be able to obtain temporary help. But it would only make this situation worsen faster.


    "Then �� Then we deserve to be bullied like this?" White Light said unhappily.


    Li-er heaved a sigh and said, "Big Brother Yuan isn''t around, what we have to do is take care of ourselves! If anyone of us is harmed, what do you think the consequences will be? What he has to face is Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this leviathan!"


    White Light''s expression changed, breaking out in cold sweat.


    Ye Yuan''s personality, he was naturally all too clear. Once they had a conflict with Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s forces, or even get any injuries, the result would be very frightening.


    "Elder Sister Li-er, Young Master he didn''t come out for so many years, could he have encountered some danger?" Lu-er said rather worriedly.


    Li-er smiled and said, "Your family''s young master, could it be that you still don''t know? Even if the whole world thinks that he''s dead, we should also have faith in him!"


    Lu-er nodded her head and said resolutely, "Mn, when Young Master comes out, he''ll definitely stir up the entire city again, and give a vicious slap to those people who rolled their eyes at us!"


    "Hahaha! It''s already been a hundred years, you guys are still harboring delusions? It''s impossible for your Young Master Ye Yuan to ever come out again!"


    Right at this time, a laughter that made people abhor sounded out, the words full of mockery.


    The moment White Light saw the arrival, he could not help burning with rage and said with an angry snort, "Zhou Wei, what did you come again for?"


    This Zhou Wei was the Martial Tower''s low-level protector, holding a post in the City Lord Manor.


    The mission of taking care of Yue Mengli and the rest was handed to him.


    Because it was Second Elder personally giving a heads up, the few years at the start, Zhou Wei naturally did not dare to neglect.


    But later on, Song Qiyang found him and bought him over.


    Therefore, the days of Yue Mengli and the rest became worse day after day.


    As time passed, Second Elder was in seclusion all year round, the attention paid to this area naturally lessen.


    Even though he already had Lu Yi take care of Li-er and the rest, Lu Yi himself also had to cultivate. Being able to come once every few years was already pretty good.


    In the course of time, Zhou Wei''s courage also gradually grew.


    Zhou Wei swaggered into the hall and said with a cold smile, "I came to tell you guys this. According to the City Lord Manor''s rules, starting from today, each of you has to pay a tax of 500 thousand divine essence stones every year. If you can''t hand it over, then get out of the inner city for me as soon as possible! Our inner city doesn''t support idle people!"


    One person 500 thousand, this was not a small sum.


    Even though Ye Yuan left behind quite a bit of divine essence stones for them, paying according to this figure, they could not last for long at all.


    The moment White Light heard, he was greatly enraged and howled, "Zhou Wei, don''t bully people too far! Us staying here was Second Elder arranging it personally, you dare to treat us like this?"


    Zhou Wei chuckled and said, "It''s important to know your own limitations! If I were you guys, I would have long gotten lost from the inner city myself. Staying here will only bring disgrace on yourselves! Second Elder? Second Elder attends to a myriad of problems every day, so how could he care about you all, these few minor characters?"

 1604 Returning Domineeringly

    "The few of you are merely ants living under Ye Yuan''s wings! Without Ye Yuan, you guys are nothing!"


    Zhou Wei''s words struck the heart one by one, deeply provoking the few people''s self-esteem.


    Especially White Light, his anger rushed to his head with a whoosh.


    "A scholar prefers death to humiliation! This little lord, I, will risk everything and fight it out with you today!"


    White Light''s figure flashed, transforming into a fierce tiger and rushed over toward Zhou Wei.


    A hint of an imperceptible smile flashed across the corners of Zhou Wei''s mouth, and he suddenly smacked a palm out.


    White Light only felt a burst of power that was strong until it made people despair surround him from all directions.


    "Puhwark!"


    White Light sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling like the bones in his body cracked.


    Yue Mengli''s expression changed, hurriedly catching him.


    But the immense force directly knocked her flying out too.


    Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were too strong!


    Zhou Wei looked at this scene coldly and said coolly, "Do you see that? Can''t even receive a single palm from me, and you still dare to say that you all aren''t ants? If not because you all are staying here, you guys would already be dead people now. However �� you all can''t stay too long."


    Yue Mengli looked at Zhou Wei and said in a cold voice, "Treating us like this, aren''t you afraid of Second Elder finding out?"


    Zhou Wei laughed loudly and said, "Second Elder is currently in seclusion, and his few disciples that are close to Ye Yuan are also all busy right now. When you all are chased out of the inner city and die outside, do you think that Second Elder will kill a protector for a dead man?"


    Yue Mengli''s expression changed and she said in a cold voice, "Looks like Head Elder that side finally can''t control the situation any longer!"


    Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Therefore, want to live, earn divine essence stones desperately then! Now, hand over our divine essence stones! There are a total of five of you, according to the rules, you have to pay 2.5 million divine essence stones."


    White Light gritted his teeth, wanting to stand up, but he could not do it at all.


    Yue Mengli''s gaze was cold and she looked at Zhou Wei and said, "We''ll pay!"


    As she said, Yue Mengli took out a storage ring and threw it to Zhou Wei.


    By the side, Long Zhan clenched his teeth and said, "Miss Li-er, I �� I''ll leave the city today, you all don''t need to pay so many divine essence stones for me!"


    Yue Mengli said, "Stop! If you go out of the city now, do you think that you can see tomorrow''s sun?"


    Long Zhan could not help choking and gritted his teeth and said, "Long Zhan is merely a lowly life. It was His Excellency who gave me the chance to be reborn! Today, what does it matter if I return my life to His Excellency?"


    Yue Mengli''s eyes were firm as she said, "We came together. So wanting to go, we naturally go together too! This kind of word, don''t say anymore in the future."


    Zhou Wei looked at this group of people and said with an amused look, "Looks like each and every one of you is still harboring hopes of getting lucky in your hearts! Those who enter the spatial inheritance, I''ve yet to hear of any who return alive. You guys, just give up on the idea forever! Haha ��"


    Zhou Wei left with a loud laugh. Everyone was angry until their faces were livid.


    But just as Zhou Wei said, leaving Ye Yuan, they were really powerless to contend with these Divine Lord Realm powerhouses!


    Actually, when Ye Yuan left, he left them hundreds of millions of divine essence stones.


    But after a hundred years, five people''s cultivation expenditure was not small.


    Originally, with Second Elder''s support, they could still barely manage to maintain.


    But these few years, they were exploited by Zhou Wei. The remaining divine essence stones on hand right now were also merely four to five million.


    And today, more than half was gone all at once!


    The next time Zhou Wei came again, they could not afford it.


    ...


    Originally thought that Zhou Wei would come again after a year, who knew that he came again after a few days!


    "Zhou Wei, the tax that you want us to pay, we''ve already paid. What do you still want?" Li-er''s good-temper also could not quite hold back from erupting anymore.


    Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Who told you all that the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s tax is just one kind? The one collected last time was headcount tax. But the one collected this time is spiritual energy tax! The inner city''s spiritual energy is ten times of the outer city. You all staying here, your cultivation speed is several times faster than others, could it be that you shouldn''t pay a bit of tax?"


    Li-er''s face changed and she said, "How much do you want again this time?"


    Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Not a lot, not a lot, two million will suffice!"


    "Two million! Why don''t you go and rob us!" Li-er said, denouncing him.


    Zhou Wei said coolly, "This is all the City Lord Manor''s rules. If you don''t pay, then sorry, you all might have to move out of the inner city."


    Yue Mengli''s expression flickered incessantly. She really could not take out that many divine essence stones anymore.


    She drew a deep breath, seemingly making a very big resolve, and said, "Fine, we''ll move out!"


    "No way! Sister-in-law, you stay, we''ll go!" White Light said.


    "Elder Sister Li-er, you can''t go!" Lu-er also said.


    Li-er said, "You guys don''t need to say anymore, my mind is made up! Everyone pack up, we''ll leave right now!"


    Zhou Wei had a smug look and said, "Huhu, that''s more like it. Ants like you guys are only fit to go stay in the outer city or capital cities. An inch of land in the inner city is like an inch of hold, you all staying here is simply a waste."


    Facing Zhou Wei''s reproving, the few people just endured it.


    Packing up for a while, and then the few people were just about to head out when suddenly, a burst of powerful aura surged to the sky from the Martial Tower''s direction.


    The entire imperial city''s spiritual energy swarmed over frenziedly in the direction of the Martial Tower.


    At this time, the spiritual energy in that direction seemed to be drained by a pump. The other directions'' spiritual energy poured over there crazily.


    "Mn? What''s going on? Someone is breaking through?" White Light said in surprise.


    "Who''s breaking through? To actually be able to create such a terrifying effect?" Long Zhan also revealed a shocked expression.


    Zhou Wei''s expression also changed slightly, but he snorted coldly and said, "Whoever breaks through is none of your business! Could it be that it''s Ye Yuan breaking through? Heh heh, this commotion, even a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse likely can''t match up too. Quickly get lost, this place isn''t a place that you all should stay!"


    At this moment, the entire imperial city was startled.


    This breakthrough was like an enormous pump, frenziedly plundering the spiritual energy in all directions.


    "What''s going on? Could it be some elder who broke through?"


    "This commotion, even fourth or fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord probably can''t match up too, right?"


    "Just who is breaking through, this is also too crazy, right? So much spiritual energy entering the body, even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses will burst too!"


    ...


    Countless martial artists were swarming in the direction of the Martial Tower, wanting to see who it was, causing such a terrifying commotion when breaking through.


    Seeing Yue Mengli stalling and not moving, Zhou Wei''s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "You guys are not leaving yet, could it be that you want this protector to personally send you all out?"


    Yue Mengli still did not move. She suddenly opened her mouth and said, "It''s Big Brother Yuan! It''s Big Brother Yuan breaking through! He came back!"


    Zhou Wei''s expression changed and he scolded angrily, "What nonsense are you saying?! Ye Yuan already died in the spatial inheritance, so how can he possibly be breaking through? Moreover, can this commotion be an Origin Deity Realm martial artist breaking through?"


    Yue Mengli turned and gave Zhou Wei a glance, and said coolly, "Zhou Wei, if it''s really Big Brother Yuan who came back and you still dare to chase us out, you should know the outcome!"


    Zhou Wei''s face changed, and his heart involuntarily started racing.

 1605 The Coldfeather Whose Seniority Was High Until It Was Frightening

    Up high in the sky, spiritual energy surged, forming an enormous vortex.


    The terrifying spiritual energy undulation gave people a feeling of heart palpitation.


    More and more martial artists gathered here, wanting to see who caused such a big commotion.


    "I-Isn''t that Elder Ye?"


    "Elder Ye? Which Elder Ye?"


    "Which Elder Ye can there be? It''s that Elder Ye who refined the void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill a hundred years ago!"


    "It really is! He �� Didn''t he die inside the inheritance space? Why did he come out now?"


    "Are you dumb?! For him to be able to walk out of the Martial Tower, it clearly shows that he has already obtained the spatial inheritance! You look at him, even though he''s still at the Origin Deity Realm, he can already fly in the air!"


    "Hiss! He is really terrifying! 100 years passed, everyone virtually forgot his existence. Most likely, no one would have thought that he actually came back! He''s the first to come out of the spatial inheritance!"


    ...


    When the people recognized that it was Ye Yuan, all of them were extremely surprised.


    Ever since that predecessor left behind the spatial inheritance, nobody came out from inside before.


    However, when everyone thought that Ye Yuan already died inside, he suddenly charged back!


    The moment he took the stage, it was heaven-shocking!


    It was not that Ye Yuan deliberately caused such a huge commotion, but his law comprehensions improved too much in these 100 years.


    As the saying went, water brimmed only to overflow, the spatial inheritance inside the spatial inheritance was too thin. Ye Yuan did not breakthrough at all in these 100 years. It was equivalent to severely suppressing his realm.


    But now, the moment he came out, under the stimulation of the abundant spiritual energy of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s inner city, he could not control it any longer. He started to directly break through crazily.


    Ye Yuan''s divine sea was like a lake that had dried to the extreme already; thirsting to the extreme.


    Seeing spiritual energy at this time, it was akin to a good rain after a long drought and started to absorb water frantically.


    If it were others, such frenzied absorption of spiritual energy, the meridians within their bodies would have long burst apart.


    But Ye Yuan even complained that the spiritual energy was not strong enough, not turbulent enough.


    This bit of spiritual energy was not even enough to fill the crevices between his teeth!


    Very soon, the Pill Tower''s and Martial Tower''s upper echelons were alarmed.


    Ruo Xu looked at that figure in the sky, his expression ugly to the extreme.


    How can it be?! How is it possible?! He clearly already died inside the spatial inheritance, why would he show up here? Why?! Ruo Xu shouted frantically in his heart.


    News of Ye Yuan''s return was absolutely like a thunderclap from a clear sky to him!


    An Alchemy Dao powerhouse who could refine void spirit divine-grade, replacing him in the future was virtually a sure thing.


    He did not wish for this kind of thing to happen to him.


    Not far away, the elders were incomparably amazed.


    "It''s really Elder Ye! He came out of the Martial Tower! Could it be that he has already understood spatial laws? This talent is a little too monstrous, right?"


    "Isn''t that so! His Alchemy Dao talent is already formidable until it makes people despair in the first place. Didn''t expect that his martial arts talent is actually so terrifying too."


    "The inheritance of spatial laws is what nobody has ever successfully comprehended before. He actually succeeded, truly inconceivable!"


    "Mn? Who is that? So unfamiliar!"


    Suddenly an elder noticed a black-robed person below the Martial Tower.


    The black-robed person had his gaze fixed on the Ye Yuan in the sky, his gaze flicking incessantly. No one could guess what he was thinking.


    Suddenly, someone came forward and berated, "Who are you? Don''t you know that this place is the Martial Tower''s restricted area? Arbitrarily barging into the Martial Tower''s restricted area, do you know what crime that is?"


    Coldfeather''s brows furrowed and suddenly threw a slap out like lightning.


    That person laughed coldly and was just about to make a move to block when Coldfeather''s slap disappeared bizarrely.


    Slap!


    This slap directly sent the other party flying!


    "Who the hell do you think you are, to also dare shout and wrangle at this seat?" Coldfeather said in a cold voice.


    Lin Dong held half of his face, his eyes filled with fear.


    Originally, when he saw Ye Yuan returning, he was incomparably irritated in his heart.


    At this time, he just happened to see Coldfeather, this person whose background was unknown. Hence, he wanted to find the other party to vent his frustration.


    He reckoned that his strength was about the same as the other party. If really getting into a fight, it might be able to interrupt Ye Yuan''s breakthrough.


    But he never dreamed that the other party''s strength was actually so formidable, sending him flying with one slap.


    Lin Dong was incomparably astonished in his heart. That slap just now was absolutely spatial laws!


    Why did this person of unknown origins also know spatial laws?


    "You �� You made a move in the Martial Tower! Today, you can forget about walking out of the Martial Tower!" Lin Dong said furiously.


    The commotion here drew the attention of quite a few powerhouses. An old man''s gaze turned intent and he carefully sized Coldfeather up.


    He kept feeling that this face was rather familiar.


    Coldfeather gave Lin Dong a glance and could not even be bothered with him.


    That old man''s face suddenly changed and he walked over to this side.


    Lin Dong seemed to have detected the old man''s movements and could not help being overjoyed. Looking at Coldfeather, he said with a cold smile, "Who asked you to be wild?! Now, even Head Elder is startled, I see how you die!"


    Coldfeather''s gaze also looked over towards that old man, his face revealing a ruminating look.


    Lin Dong hurriedly went up to greet, bowing to that old man and said, "Head Elder, this fellow''s origin is unknown and he actually even dared to attack and injure people; having no respect for our Martial Tower at all!"


    This old man was none other than precisely the Martial Tower''s head elder, Zheng Qi.


    Zheng Qi waved his hand at Lin Dong, indicating for him to not be wordy. Then he gave a bow to Coldfeather and said, "Dare I ask, could your esteemed self be �� Coldfeather, Grandmaster Coldfeather[1]?"


    Coldfeather was rather surprised as he said, "Mn? You know me?"


    When Zheng Qi saw the other party acknowledged it, he could not help being overjoyed and bowed down deeply towards Coldfeather and said, "I didn''t expect that it''s really Grandmaster Coldfeather! I am Grandpupil Zheng Qi, my master is Wu Xingtang!"


    Coldfeather revealed a look of surprise and said in amazement, "You''re Xingtang''s disciple? Looking at your strength, you''re currently the Martial Tower''s head elder?"


    Zheng Qi hurriedly said, "Grandpupil is incapable and shamelessly being the Martial Tower''s head elder."


    Coldfeather nodded his head and said with a sigh, "Xingtang this boy is pretty good, it''s also considered to have developed our lineage to greater heights. You''re already the head elder, then where is he now?"


    Zheng Qi was crestfallen as he said, "Several tens of thousands of years ago, Master died in a mystic realm."


    Coldfeather looked dejected and immediately let out a sigh and said, "It''s a pity! Xingtang was the disciple I was most proud of. I didn''t expect that us master and disciple, two people, had limited luck!"


    Lin Dong listened by the side until he nearly bit his own tongue, his entire mind completely blanked.


    Head Elder actually called this old man as his grandmaster!


    Grandmaster!


    Lin Dong completely did not expect that this old man who popped out from God knows where, his seniority was actually high until it was frightening!


    What did he do just now?


    But Coldfeather two people were immersed in grief and did not have time to go and pay attention to him at all.


    Zheng Qi was careful as he asked, "Grandmaster Coldfeather took the risk and entered the inheritance space back then, Master even thought that you �� fell inside the spatial inheritance. He wouldn''t expect that your elderly self is actually still alive! Master''s spirit in heaven must be very relieved."


    Coldfeather gave a self-mocking laugh and said, "Didn''t die, but also not much difference from dead. If not for encountering Ye Yuan, I can only stay inside the spatial inheritance all my life and be a person who is not dead, and yet not alive."


    [1] Grandmaster in this case refers to master''s master.

 1606 Consecutive Breakthroughs in Realm

    Up in the sky, not only the violent spiritual energy did not diminish, it had signs of becoming increasingly fiercer instead.


    His aura was also rising steadily and burst through the middle-stage Origin Deity bottleneck very soon, breaking through to late-stage Origin Deity Realm.


    Ye Yuan was like a bottomless hole, devouring the spiritual energy from all directions frenziedly.


    These hundred years of deficient spiritual energy made him thirsty to the extreme, absorbing to his heart''s content in one shot.


    When Zheng Qi saw this scene, his expression flickered repeatedly and he said in surprise, "Grandmaster, this Ye Yuan, could he ��"


    Coldfeather slowly nodded and said, "If not for seeing with my own eyes, I also wouldn''t dare to believe in my dreams that someone can comprehend two-layered heaven spatial laws within a hundred years. No idea what kind of cultivation method this kid cultivates either, to actually be able to withstand such terrifying spatial laws. Tsk tsk, all in all, this kid is leaking strangeness everywhere on his body."


    Coldfeather said it flatly, but monstrous waves surged in Zheng Qi''s heart.


    The two supreme laws were what everyone was dreaming after.


    But apart from that predecessor of the Martial Tower, nobody was able to comprehend it anymore.


    So many years had passed, to say that Zheng Qi was not moved, that would be false.


    But he did not have the courage to go and try his luck.


    Over 100 thousand years ago, Coldfeather was known as the number one genius whose accomplishments surpassed ancient and modern times!


    Even he ''died'' inside the spatial inheritance, so who else dared to go and attempt?


    Nobody would have thought that Ye Yuan actually succeeded!


    ...


    Zhou Wei''s current emotions were in a jumbled mess. It was really bitter to the extreme.


    The reason why he dared to treat Yue Mengli, White Light, and the rest this way, was because he was certain that Ye Yuan already died inside the spatial inheritance.


    But reality gave him a resounding slap.


    "This �� This is impossible! He �� Didn''t he die inside the spatial inheritance? Why would he show up here?!"


    Zhou Wei''s entire person was flustered. The moment he laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he knew that he was finished.


    A hundred years ago, Ye Yuan was already extremely domineering, even defeating Head Elder Ruo Xu.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually comprehended spatial laws and returned domineeringly.


    Ye Yuan who was exceptional in alchemy and martial arts would bound to be scalding hot to one''s touch in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    If he were to blame someone for something, nobody would be able to save the person!


    "Hahaha, indeed worthy of being my big brother! Zhou Wei, didn''t you say that my big brother died inside? Open your dog eyes wide and see who that person is!" White Light said with a loud laugh.


    These few years, they were brutally bullied by Zhou Wei.


    Now, seeing his soft-shelled turtle-like appearance, he was incomparably liberated in his heart.


    Zhou Wei''s face revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying. Kneeling down with a thud, he hugged White Light''s calves and cried bitterly as he said, "Lord White, it �� it was all this lowly one who had eyes but couldn''t see! This �� This lowly one was bewitched by others. That''s why I would do this kind of foolish thing! L-Lord White, please raise your hand high up in mercy and let me off!"


    Yue Mengli and the rest all looked at Zhou Wei with scorn. This guy was a typical snobbish despicable person, bullying the kind and fearing the wicked, grass on top of a wall that swayed wherever the wind blew.


    When Ye Yuan was not around, he created all kinds of difficulties.


    Now that Ye Yuan returned, he immediately became a grandson.


    This kind of person, others looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Heh, know to ask your Lord White to raise his hand high in mercy now? Already missed the chance! But it''s also useless for you to beg me now. This matter, better let Big Brother make a final decision." White Light said with a cold smile.


    "If you had long known this day would come, why act like that in the past! You and Song Qiyang acted in collusion, but you wait and watch properly. I want to see whether or not Song Qiyang will come and plead on your behalf!" Yue Mengli said with a cold snort.


    Zhou Wei regretted it in his heart. He really did not expect it!


    One should leave a ray of hope when conducting oneself in any action, but he pushed Yue Mengli and the rest to extermination.


    "I �� I was wrong! Grandaunt, I really know that I was wrong! I had eyes but couldn''t see, I was blinded by obsession, I ��" Zhou Wei said, as he slapped himself viciously.


    The strange gazes that others cast over, he could not care anymore as well.


    He knew that if he could not get these people''s forgiveness, then his life would be ruined.


    With his status, offending an elder, that was no different from seeking death.


    Furthermore, with the talent that Ye Yuan displayed, his status in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, probably even Head Elder would find it hard to hold a candle to.


    Zhou Wei jabbered a whole bunch, slapping his own mouth as he spoke, making it loud and clear.


    In front of so many people, he, a dignified Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, was also considered to have utterly lost face all the way back to his granny''s house.


    "Isn''t that Protector Zhou Wei? Why would he kowtow frantically toward a bunch of Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists?"


    "Those few people look like Elder Ye''s close kin. Zhou Wei this person is the most snobbish. These few years, everybody all thought that Elder Ye died. He definitely offended them to the core."


    "Heh, nobody could have ever thought that the spatial inheritance which no one succeeded before, Elder Ye actually succeeded!"


    "Yeah, when a man attains the Dao, his fowls and dogs ascend to heaven too. Even if his kin is just at the Heaven Glimpse Realm, who dares to offend them?"


    ...


    Bystanders discussed animatedly. But when it landed in Li-er''s and the others'' ears, it was rather grating on the ear.


    A strange emotion spread out in everyone''s heart.


    White Light was greatly enraged and said coldly, "You get lost for me, I don''t want to see you now! If you still pester endlessly, I''ll make Big Brother mess you to death, do you believe it or not?"


    Zhou Wei jumped in fright and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I''ll get lost! I''ll get lost!"


    Finished talking, he scrambled and ran away.


    ...


    No one would have thought that Ye Yuan''s breakthrough was for ten days and ten nights.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s martial artists even felt that the spiritual energy around them was much thinner.


    Spiritual energies were all absorbed clean by Ye Yuan.


    Even though everyone was cultivating normally, that was all a step-by-step process.


    Even though the spiritual energy around was plenty, they could not suck it in at all.


    How could it be like Ye Yuan? This was completely disregarding one''s life.


    And Ye Yuan''s realm was also rising crazily.


    "Elder Ye''s breakthrough is simply too crazy. These few days, he actually directly cultivated to peak late-stage Origin Deity from middle-stage Origin Deity."


    "Looking at this, he isn''t going to directly breakthrough to grand completion Origin Deity, right?"


    "Very likely! You look, he broke through! Really broke through! My God, turns out that you can cultivate like this!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s breakthrough gave people an extremely strong sense of impact.


    Origin Deity Realm was not like when at the mortal realms back then. Each breakthrough of a minor realm, the spiritual energy required was an extremely horrifying number.


    Even a more prodigious martial artist, even if the cultivation method they cultivated was of a higher level, it was also unheard of to break through two minor realms in a row within a few days.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s aura rose sharply, breaking through the bottleneck of late-stage Origin Deity in one stroke, reaching the grand completion realm of Origin Deity.


    When Zheng Qi saw this scene, he was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    But Coldfeather smiled and said, "This boy wants to make up for all of these 100 years of delayed cultivation! Looks like he''s ending soon. It''s also this old man''s turn now. Tsk tsk, if this old man can also break through like him, how good would it be!"

 1607 Benefiting for Generations to Come

    Ye Yuan''s realm rose all the way until it reached the point that it just could not breach the next realm any longer. By then, he already stopped devouring spiritual energy.


    Finally, his realm also reached peak grand completion Origin Deity Realm. He was only a step away from the Divine Lord Realm.


    Seeing Ye Yuan finally stop breaking through, the others let out a sigh in relief.


    "My goodness, it finally stopped! I was even wondering what if he keeps on breaking through all the way like that!"


    "Elder Ye is really a freak. It''s still my first time hearing that someone can break through like this within the Origin Deity Realm!"


    "What the hell do you guys know? Elder Ye is unleashing his vast accumulation over the years! With his talent, how could it be possible to not break through for 100 years? He accumulated things for a hundred years. That''s why there was this magnificent feat today!"


    "Makes sense. But a hundred years'' time, breaking through from the middle-stage Origin Deity to the peak grand completion Origin Deity, this is also very heaven-defying."


    ...


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s spiritual energy finally returned to tranquility. The spirit gathering formations were also slowly recovering the inner city''s spiritual energy.


    During these few days, Ye Yuan had devoured no idea how much spiritual energy. Even the spirit gathering formations practically could not quite catch up to his speed of devouring already.


    His breakthrough this time was really eating a fat piece of meat in one mouthful. Even if those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were breaking through, they could not be compared with his speed of absorbing spiritual energy.


    "Hahaha, congratulations, Elder Ye, for attaining the Dao and returning back!"


    "Elder Ye is truly a peerless genius, to actually only use a hundred years and fully understood spatial laws!"


    "Congratulations, Elder Ye!"


    ...


    The group of elders all came forward to greet, congratulating Ye Yuan.


    They knew that with Ye Yuan returning domineeringly this time, the momentum of his ascension was already unstoppable by anyone.


    Moreover, he even brought a great deity back.


    They heard with their own ears that the Martial Tower''s head elder, Zheng Qi, actually called that old man as his grandmaster!


    At this time, Zheng Qi also brought Coldfeather and walked over. He directly clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and said, "Elder Ye, recovering Grandmaster Coldfeather who went missing for over 100 thousand years, this Zheng is endlessly gratefully!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up and revealed a hint of surprise and said with amazement, "Brother Cold �� uh, Senior Coldfeather is actually Head Elder''s grandmaster?"


    The moment he opened his mouth, Ye Yuan discovered that something was not quite right.


    The Martial Tower''s head elder called him as Grandmaster Coldfeather, but Ye Yuan called him as Brother Coldfeather. Wasn''t this clearly taking advantage of everyone?


    It still did not matter inside the spatial inheritance, but returning to the imperial city and learning of Coldfeather''s seniority, he naturally could not simply call him casually anymore.


    Even though Ye Yuan had his pride, it did not mean that he did not understand the ways of the world.


    If he called like this, even though others would not say anything on account of Coldfeather''s face, they would definitely be very unhappy in their hearts.


    After all, he was just an Origin Deity Realm martial artist.


    Although Ye Yuan did not fear to make enemies, provoking enemies unnecessarily like this was clearly not a wise move.


    Ye Yuan was having a headache on how to address him. But who knew that Coldfeather was totally unconcerned and said, "Kid, you don''t need to be courteous with me. Let''s each do our own thing! In the future, you still call me Brother Coldfeather. As for the rest, they go about as they should. This old man was trapped for over 100 thousand years, so why would I still care about such trivial formalities? Uh, Zheng Qi is the apprentice of the disciple that I was most proud of. I also didn''t expect that over 100 thousand years passed, he actually became the Martial Tower''s head elder."


    Coldfeather did not care, but the faces of Zheng Qi and the other elders were rather awkward.


    Your elderly self already said so, how could we dare to say anything more?


    Ye Yuan was not a bashful person either. He also smiled and said, "Looks like Brother Coldfeather''s lineage is indeed all talented people! Even though I and Head Elder don''t interact much, I''ve also long heard that his martial prowess is unmatched, a sea-stabilizing divine needle of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!"


    The moment Coldfeather heard, he could not help saying angrily, "Let you, Younger Brother, had a laugh! What do you call this? I, as the grandmaster, am only third-layered heaven Divine Lord, while he, the grandpupil, is already ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord!"


    Each sentence that Coldfeather said, Zheng Qi''s expression would be a shade more looking embarrassed.


    But this kind of phenomenon indeed made people rather speechless.


    Not that situations of surpassing one''s predecessors did not happen, but it was just that Coldfeather''s talent back then had amazed the entire imperial city.


    Who knew that the affairs of the world were inconstant? Over 130 thousand years passed, he only cultivated to third-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Coldfeather doesn''t need to be like this. With your current realm comprehensions, breaking through to become a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord is merely a matter of time. Misfortune may be an actual blessing. Perhaps you can unleash your accumulations and break through to the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    Coldfeather chuckled and said, "That''s true! If this old man wasn''t trapped inside the spatial inheritance back then, I might really have a possibility of breaking through the fetters now and assault the Celestial Deity Realm."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Coldfeather, you and I are also considered fated. When I break through to the Divine Lord Realm, I''ll help you refine medicinal pills and aid you to break through realms as soon as possible!"


    Coldfeather froze, only then, recalling that Ye Yuan''s identity seemed to be a Pill Tower''s elder and not Martial Tower''s elder.


    He was rather curious on what basis Ye Yuan could become the Pill Tower''s elder.


    Seeing Coldfeather wondering, Zheng Qi said, "Looks like Grandmaster still doesn''t know about Elder Ye''s freakish aspect. A hundred years ago, he refined a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill. It rocked the imperial city for some time back then!"


    Coldfeather''s pupils constricted and he exclaimed, "Void spirit divine-grade! Vastsun Universe Pill! You aren''t joking with me, right?"


    Zheng Qi smiled and said, "How can Zheng Qi dare to crack jokes with grandmaster? This matter, all of the elders present are witnesses."


    Coldfeather drew a cold breath and pointed at Ye Yuan as he said speechlessly, "You, kid, are truly a freak! This old man was known as Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s number one genius whose accomplishments surpassed ancient and modern times back then. But in front of you, it''s simply not worth mentioning!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Merely luck! Oh, right, Head Elder, the Martial Tower''s spatial inheritance, I''ve already improved it. In the future, if somebody wants to go in and comprehend spatial laws, it wouldn''t be so dangerous anymore. That senior who left behind the inheritance is too extreme. Although the method of inheritance is very profound, it''s also too dangerous."


    Ye Yuan did not wish to entangle on this topic and could only change topics.


    Zheng Qi''s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, "Is Elder Ye serious? It �� It can''t be joked around!"


    Not just Zheng Qi, all of the elders and deacons by the side, even the protectors a little further away, after hearing this news, each and every one of them was incomparably excited.


    To say that they were not moved by spatial laws, this large breadcake placed in their house, that was false.


    But this large breadcake was poisonous!


    Eat one bite and you would be dead, who dared to eat?


    Back then, including Coldfeather, didn''t they all entered the spatial inheritance because of spatial laws, this supreme law?"


    In the end?


    Apart from Coldfeather being trapped inside, none of the rest came out!


    But now, Ye Yuan said that he improved the spatial inheritance. How could this not drive them crazy?


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Head Elder, this kind of major thing, how can this Ye dare to joke around? However, after this Ye improved it, although the spatial inheritance is much more gentler, the difficulty of comprehension also greatly increased. With this Ye''s current realm, I can only do it to this step."


    But Zheng Qi did not care and said with an excited look, "Elder Ye truly did a great thing that benefits the Martial Tower for generations to come!"

 1608 Unexpected Departure

    At the Ye Manor, a young man gave Ye Yuan a bow respectfully and said, "Elder Ye, Zhou Wei has already been banished to Jiang Gu City. His cultivation was sealed and to be enslaved for 300 years. As for Song Qiyang, Head Elder did his utmost to protect him. However, Head Elder made him kneel for a month in the Pill Tower''s plaza, so as to appease Elder Ye''s fury."


    After Ye Yuan listened, he said coolly, "Ruo Xu that old punk making concessions in order to gain advantages! However, kneeling for a month is also a considerable punishment to Song Qiyang. You''ve worked hard, Tianping.


    The young man bowed and said, "Sharing Elder Ye''s worries isn''t hard."


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Tianping, actually, with your talent, you don''t need to become my follower. Why do you have to put yourself at a great inconvenience?"


    This young man was called Ning Tianping, the Ning Family young generation''s number one person!


    Even Ning Fangrong also could not match up to Ning Tianping''s talent.


    Back then, Ning Lixiao spent a price of 3.5 billion and won the Vastsun Universe Pill, it was to give it to him.


    After consuming that Vastsun Universe Pill, Ning Tianping realized the extraordinariness of this medicinal pill very quickly.


    He was still just a grand completion Origin Deity at that time, but he comprehended things very quickly, directly crossing over half-step Divine Lord, this threshold, and then he became a first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse.


    After breaking through, his cultivation was like turning on a hack, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds.


    In a short less than 100 years'' time, he already cultivated to become a peak second-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    Such cultivation speed was simply outrageous to hear.


    Ning Tianping realized very quickly that this was the Vastsun Universe Pill''s effect.


    He originally wanted to thank Ye Yuan, but hearing that Ye Yuan died inside the spatial inheritance, he was even upset for quite a while.


    But this time, Ye Yuan returning domineering shook the entire imperial city.


    When Ning Tianping heard that they were going to find another follower for Ye Yuan, he took the initiative to request for the assignment.


    Originally, with his identity, there were only others being his attendants. Where was there him being other people''s attendant, this sort of thing?


    Even those elders did not dare to use Ning Tianping as an attendant too.


    But the Ning Family held a supportive attitude toward this matter and even helped Ning Tianping campaign in many ways, making him stand out from among the numerous protectors.


    Now, wanting to become Ye Yuan''s follower was not that easy of a matter anymore.


    In the past, Ye Yuan was merely a heaven-defyingly talent to them.


    Ye Yuan could only refine rank three divine pills, which was of no use to them at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan was only a step away from becoming a Four-star Alchemy God.


    Once he successfully broke through, that significance was totally different.


    With the benefits of a favorable position, whoever could become Elder Ye''s follower, the benefits obtained would naturally be unimaginable too.


    Hence, arranging for Ye Yuan a follower this time could be said that everyone had long racked their brains over it already.


    It was a shame that Lin Dong could only sigh at home like a little wife now.


    A massive opportunity was once placed in front of him, he did not go and cherish it. Losing it now, it could only be too late to repent.


    He did not put in much effort with Ye Yuan. It was more or less because Ye Yuan was a Three-star Alchemy God, just due to this reason.


    But he never dreamed that this day came so quickly.


    In a short 100 years, Ye Yuan broke through to the peak grand completion Origin Deity from the middle-stage Origin Deity.


    Wanting to turn back now was already impossible.


    Moreover, when Ye Yuan was trapped in the spatial inheritance back then, he even reproved Li-er they all before.


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "100 years ago, our Ning Family won the bid for Elder Ye''s Vastsun Universe Pill. Everybody said that the Ning Family was using divine essence stones to repay your grace. Actually, I also thought so at that time. But when I consumed the Vastsun Universe Pill and broke through to the Divine Lord Realm in one stroke, I knew that it was actually our Ning Family who took advantage of Elder Ye! That medicinal pill''s value simply cannot be measured using divine essence stones."


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "So, you''re here to repay the kindness?"


    But Ning Tianping shook his head and said, "I know that Elder Ye doesn''t need repaying of gratitude. There''s also nothing to hide here. Right now, in the entire imperial city, who doesn''t hope to come join as Elder Ye''s followers? As long as they follow you, there will be limitless possibilities in the future. Putting it bluntly, everyone actually wants to benefit from your light!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Tianping rather surprisedly, not expecting that he would actually be so honest.


    Knowing was one thing, saying it in front of his face was another.


    At the very least, Ning Tianping''s forthright personality made Ye Yuan admire greatly still.


    If Ning Tianping said some ostentatious and pretentious words to brush him off, his impression of the other party would naturally be much worse.


    Toward him, he naturally would not trust him so much anymore as well.


    Toward people he was unfamiliar with, Ye Yuan naturally had to observe and study them a bit.


    Just like Lin Dong, Lin Dong helped him deal with Qin Xiao. But Lin Dong was filled with misgivings and fear when encountering Song Qiyang, so Ye Yuan would not give him another chance.


    Regarding Ning Tianping, even though he was a member of the Ning Family, if he could not pass his test, he similarly would not do.


    The two people were currently talking when Yue Mengli and White Light few people suddenly came over.


    When Ye Yuan saw these few people''s battle array, he could not help getting a fright.


    "What''s with you guys?" Ye Yuan said curiously.


    Ning Tianping was very sensible, seeing this scene, he immediately took his leave and left. This made Ye Yuan''s impression of him become much better again.


    The few people ''bore down menacingly'', but when they arrived in front of Ye Yuan, they suddenly collectively went mute.


    They looked at each other, exchanging glances, and actually did not know how to start talking.


    This appearance made Ye Yuan become more curious.


    "Sister-in-law, better for you to say!" White Light said.


    Yue Mengli thought about it and suddenly mustered up her courage and said, "Big Brother Yuan, actually, coming to find you, we want to tell you that we want to go out and train by ourselves."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed when he heard that and said in a solemn voice, "No way!"


    Powerhouses were abundant like clouds in the Heavenspan World, Yue Mengli their bit of strength, going out alone to train was simply no different from seeking death.


    One should not look at how the Heavenspan World was very well-ordered. Actually, dangers were everywhere.


    Just take Coldfeather, their generation of powerhouses, how many were truly able to live move than 100 thousand years?


    Li-er the few of them, if something were to happen to one of them, he could not forgive himself for life.


    Ye Yuan''s attitude was clearly long within Yue Mengli''s expectations.


    "Big Brother Yuan, Li-er knows that you have our interest at heart. But being under your protection all along, we can forever only look at you from behind! With your talent, the disparity between us will get greater and greater. All the way until the end, we are no longer able to keep up with your footsteps. I know how much hardships you suffered for Elder Sister Lingxue these few years, how much pressure you endured. We don''t hope to forever only be able to quietly watch you from behind and not be able to do anything! We hope that one day, we can fight side by side with you and not just be nervous with worry behind you," Yue Mengli said.


    White Light also spoke up at this time and said, "Big Brother, back then, we rampaged in all directions in the Immortal Grove World. At that time, I could still keep up with your footsteps. But now, I can only cheer you on at one side? Do you know how torturous it is for me? When at the Immortal Grove World, when that Heavenly Sin Heretic God appeared, you don''t know how powerless and in despair I felt! I don''t hope to forever only be able to pray for you to appear when I encounter danger! You can save us once, save us twice, but in the future?"


    Ye Yuan looked at them, opened his mouth, but he did not know what he should say.

 1609 Believe in Yourself

    Ye Yuan had first experienced the pain of losing his father. Later, he experienced the premature death of Mu Lingxue, so he was even more sensitive about the protection of those around him.


    He absolutely did not allow the people around him to suffer any bit of harm.


    Hence, when he returned to the Immortal Grove Region and encountered Heavenly Sin Heretic God, he dealt with the latter with that kind of nauseating method.


    For so many years, he had always been doing his best to protect the people around him but had never thought about the feelings of those around him.


    Seems like his way of doing things made Yue Mengli, White Light, and even Lu-er, all live in a stifling atmosphere.


    Very clearly, regardless of Yue Mengli, White Light, or Lu-er, they were all people with extremely strong pride.


    Putting Ye Yuan aside, they were all first-rate genius martial artists.


    Even when placed in the Heavenspan World, their talents were still stronger than the vast majority of martial artists.


    But Ye Yuan''s way of doing things stifled their talent.


    It seemed like this period of time in his absence, it finally made the pride of the people around him being challenged to the limit.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Li-er, White Light, sorry. Looks like I''ve neglected your feelings."


    White Light blurted, "Big Brother, what are you saying! The things that you do for us, we can all understand. Furthermore, you indeed have that capability too! But we likewise also know how much you endured these few years! Us wanting to become strong isn''t only not wanting to become your burden, but to be able to let you advance forward without scruples!"


    Yue Mengli also said, "Big Brother Yuan, I �� I just want to offer a bit of my meager strength for Elder Sister Lingxue."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Alright, I got it. Every person has their own path. These few years, it was indeed me who was too nervous, wiping out your talent instead. You guys go then, but �� let''s set an agreement of 500 years! 500 years later, no matter where we are, we have to return to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!"


    The moment everyone heard, they could not help being overjoyed. There was naturally no reason to refuse.


    Ye Yuan understood these few people too well. Since they decided to come to find him, that meant that they already made a decision.


    Disregarding White Light, Li-er seemed to have a gentle temperament, but actually, she had her strong side too.


    Otherwise, she also would not directly escape to the lower realms back then and meet Ye Yuan.


    Among the few people, the one Ye Yuan was most worried about was naturally Lu-er.


    Lu-er''s thoughts were simple and had not experienced worldly affairs. In the complicated and disorderly world of martial artists, it was hard to guarantee that she would not suffer a loss.


    For this, Ye Yuan handed Gui Yun to Lu-er, and had him protect Lu-er''s safety along the way.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan gave each of them several divine lord mystic treasures.


    With divine lord mystic treasures, they could jump realms and battle, their ability to survive naturally increased greatly.


    On the day they left, Ye Yuan did not go and send them off.


    Although you escort a person a thousand miles, there was bound to be a parting at last.


    Weal and woe were hard to predict with this trip, Ye Yuan really did not have the courage to face it.


    Hiding in the Ye Manor, Ye Yuan was depressed by himself.


    "Senior, I''m still not strong enough!" Ye Yuan gave a long sigh and said to Dustless.


    Dustless was silent for a moment and opened his mouth and said, "You''ve already done very well! Life is like the moon, waning and waxing. People have sorrow and parting. Dao Ancestors seem to stand at the summit of the world, but the life and death partings they experienced, how many are able to understand it? In the end, Deity Realm powerhouses are not true deities!"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I understand all the logic, but when it really comes to this day, I still can''t let it go. I have to become strong as soon as possible, powerful until Li-er they all don''t need to worry about me, powerful until nobody dares to roll their eyes at them again!"


    Dustless consoled him and said, "I''ve never doubted that before!"


    ...


    Li-er and the rest departing stirred up even stronger determination in Ye Yuan instead.


    From then on, he threw himself into even more frenzied cultivation.


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been constantly hiding inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, wanting to comprehend the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s fourth level cultivation method.


    But reality did not accord with hopes, he comprehended for more than ten years inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space and could not find the slightest clue either.


    Origin Deity Realm to Divine Lord Realm was a massive threshold to all martial artists.


    A heaven''s darling like Ning Tianping was after all just a minority existence.


    No idea how many martial artists were blocked outside the door of Divine Lord Realm all their lives.


    Ye Yuan''s cultivation encountered a huge bottleneck for the first time.


    "Senior, why do I feel that there''s an extremely contradictory feeling? All of the Divine Lord Realm powerhouses open up the inner-world, achieving the position of a sovereign. That''s how one corroborates their Dao as a Divine Lord Realm. But why is it that according to my deductions in these ten over years, this path wouldn''t work at all? Just where did I go wrong? Could it be that �� I was wrong right from the start?"


    Not progressing for a long time, Ye Yuan was abnormally irritable in his heart and had to get some words out of his system.


    Over the past ten years, Ye Yuan had done countless deductions in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, wanting to find the method to open up an inner-world.


    However, no matter how he deduced, there was only one outcome: this path was closed!


    Corroborating one''s Dao as a Divine Lord, opening an inner-world, and becoming the sovereign of a world, this was the path that must be taken for all Heavenspan World powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan did not know why, continuing according to the first three levels in his cultivation method, this path was actually completely wrong.


    He had attempted to forcefully break through before as well, but without exception, it all failed.


    For the first time in his life, Ye Yuan doubted his own path.


    Ye Yuan''s situation, Dustless naturally took it into his sights.


    But honestly speaking, he did not have the faintest idea too. Dustless could only sigh and said, "Right from the start, I told you that this path is extremely arduous. It''s a path that no one has ever walked before. Without a doubt, the first three levels in your cultivation method are extremely strong! This old man has followed Immortal Grove and roamed unobstructed for millions of years in the Heavenspan World, and has never seen before such a powerful cultivation method! But this cultivation method has clearly reached a watershed now. If you cross over, it will be a smooth road ahead. If you don''t step over it �� you can only stop using this cultivation method and re-cultivate anew!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression flickered incessantly. This result was clearly not what he wanted.


    He was very clear, with his talent, even if abolishing the Chaos Heavenspan Canon and cultivating Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s cultivation method anew, he could also cultivate to an extremely high boundary.


    But this also signified that he might never be able to save Mu Lingxue in this life anymore.


    This result was not what he wanted.


    If he could not save Mu Lingxue, then what was the point of his many years of struggle?


    Even if he could become a transcendent heavenly emperor in the future and laugh proudly across the entire Heavenspan World, what was the use?


    If you are not around, why do I want this world for?!


    Now, it reached the biggest fork in the road in Ye Yuan''s life.


    Dustless gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, "Ye Yuan, actually, rationally speaking, I feel that you should abandon this path! This path''s uncertainty is too great!"


    Ye Yuan gave Dustless a glance and quietly waited for him to continue.


    He knew that this was not the meaning that Dustless really wanted to express.


    Sure enough, Dustless paused for a bit and said with a bitter smile, "This old man, as an artifact spirit, has lived to this ripe old age, and has never been crazy before. But this time, I''ll gift you a sentence: believe in yourself!"

 1610 Alchemy and Martial Dual Prodigy

    Actually, Dustless also did not know whether this path would work or not. He only knew that this was an unprecedented path.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to have his current accomplishments in the Heavenspan World, a very large degree was derived from this cultivation method.


    He understood Ye Yuan''s mind. Giving up now for Ye Yuan was an unbearable outcome.


    Since that was the case, then walk the path until it was dark.


    Even if knocked until his head was broken and bleeding, it was also better than just being able to feel depressed in the end.


    The confusion in Ye Yuan''s eyes was swept clean, what replaced it was a firm look.


    He calmed his heart down and returned in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain again, and started comprehending Dao.


    However, this did not bring him good luck. In a twinkle, another decade passed, the fourth level cultivation method still did not make the least bit of progress.


    "Looks like drawing up plans behind closed doors won''t cut it. I have to go out and walk around, see if I can find the opportunity to break through," Ye Yuan sighed and said.


    "Mn, going out for a walk is good too. Your deduction is indeed hard to believe. At this rate, it won''t have any benefits to your cultivation." Dustless agreed.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This is really an inconceivable thing. If the next realm isn''t Divine Lord Realm, then what is it? Can this path really work?"


    These 20 over years, Ye Yuan had experienced no idea how many deductions. But the final results were all entirely contrary to the already mature cultivation system.


    Before this, Ye Yuan had never thought that the Chaos Heavenspan Canon would walk to this current step.


    It seemed to have entered a dead end.


    Presently, the Heavenspan World''s cultivation system was already mature until it could not be any more mature that this.


    After Origin Deity Realm, it was opening up an inner-world, evolving the power of the world for one''s own use, obtaining powerful unmatched strength from there.


    But no matter how Ye Yuan deduced, it seemed to go against this realm.


    Dustless smiled and said, "Time will prove everything! Go out and take a look, maybe one day, you''ll suddenly see the whole thing in a clear light."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and no longer hesitated, directly exiting seclusion.


    The moment Ye Yuan came out of seclusion, Ning Tianping came to find hastily.


    "Elder Ye, you finally exited seclusion! Right now, the imperial city is in an utter mess!" Ning Tianping said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "Why? Could it be that there''s still someone who demolished Heavenly Eagle Imperial City?"


    Even though over 20 years had already passed inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, merely two years plus had passed in the outside world.


    Ning Tianping said, "Not demolished, but it''s also pretty much there! Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s face is already utterly lost."


    Only after hearing Ning Tianping''s report did Ye Yuan know what had happened.


    Turned out that some time back, River Eternal Imperial City''s head elder brought several disciples and came to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, saying that there were important matters to discuss.


    This was originally not a big deal. But among their group, there was a genius disciple called Gu Han. The moment they arrived at Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he challenged the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s disciples everywhere.


    Not to mention, this Gu Han was really a rare genius that appeared once every ten thousand years.


    In this one month, he practically challenged the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s famous disciples, without any defeat!


    This Gu Han was merely a half-step Divine Lord, but among the same rank martial artists, no one was his match at all.


    The most terrifying thing was that this Gu Han was skilled in both alchemy and martial arts. Not only was his talent in martial arts exceedingly high, but he also turned his nose up at everyone in alchemy.


    Ning Siyu was indignant and went to find Gu Han to challenge. In the end, she was also defeated.


    After Song Qiyang broke through to Divine Lord Realm, becoming a Four-star Alchemy God, Ning Siyu was practically the number one person among Three-star Alchemy God disciples already.


    Even she was defeated at Gu Han''s hands. Where would Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s face be put?


    Most importantly, Gu Han alone challenged all of the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s experts!


    Hence, that was why Ning Tianping said that the imperial city was akin to being demolished.


    Speaking of this, Ning Tianping said indignantly, "I only hate that I broke through too early. Otherwise, I''ll definitely teach that punk a brutal lesson! Elder Ye, you really don''t know how unbridled that punk is!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that even Ning Siyu was defeated at Gu Han''s hands, he could not help being rather surprised.


    Ning Siyu''s current Alchemy Dao strength, he had a score in his heart.


    It was not that she was already invincible among Three-star Alchemy Gods, but the Three-star Alchemy Gods able to win her were really already very few.


    One had to know, even Song Qiyang was defeated at her hands.


    Even though Song Qiyang''s strength was not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan, his strength was very formidable, this left no room for doubt.


    What was even more terrifying was that this kid was skilled in alchemy and martial arts. Not only was his alchemy powerful, but his martial arts also overwhelmed everyone, even defeating the rank one disciple of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Origin Deity Realms.


    But hearing finish, Ye Yuan was rather curious as he said, "Since he already defeated Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s young generation, then shouldn''t this matter already be over? What are you so anxious about?"


    Ning Tianping said gloomily, "How can it be over so easily? That punk is currently challenging Song Qiyang right now! In martial arts, he''s unable to jump realms and battle. But this doesn''t hinder him in defeating Four-star Alchemy Gods in alchemy!"


    Presently, over a hundred years had gone by, with Song Qiyang''s talent, breaking through to Divine Lord Realm was naturally not a difficult matter.


    At present, he was already the Pill Tower''s low-level protector, a Four-star Alchemy God.


    With his strength, he was also considered as a very formidable existence among initial-rank Four-star Alchemy Gods.


    Defeating him was equivalent to smacking the faces of the Pill Tower''s Four-star protectors once more.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard and said, "This kid is really vicious enough!"


    Indeed, alchemy competition was different from martial arts.


    The competition of martial arts, Origin Deity Realms could not contend with Divine Lord Realms at all.


    But alchemy was different. Even Four-star Alchemy Gods could not possibly refine all of the rank three divine pills too.


    Even if one refined them, the grade refined was also hard to say.


    Ning Tianping said indignantly, "Isn''t that so? You don''t know how the martial artists in the city are all talking about our Pill Tower and Martial Tower. It''s really losing face all the way back to our grandmother''s house."


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Bring me to go take a look."


    ...


    In the plaza of the Pill Tower, Song Qiyang was sweating profusely and had long cussed Gu Han''s eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.


    This kid is too despicable, to actually pick an extremely difficult medicinal pill.


    Right now, refining it, it was exceptionally strenuous and might fail at any time.


    After breaking through to Four-star Alchemy God Realm, one''s understanding of Alchemy Dao would become more profound along with the increase in realm.


    Hence, refining rank three divine pills actually held an advantage.


    But even so, he still struggled a lot.


    The medicinal pill that they were refining was called Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill, belonging to the extremely difficult kind among rank three divine pills.


    The refining difficulty of medicinal pills was not easy to grade, because each medicinal pill''s refining difficulty was different.


    If insisting on dividing into levels, dividing according to level one to level nine, Gale Celestial Stone Pill, Crimson Thunder Heavenly Spirit Pill, they should belong to level five, while the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill pretty much belongs to level six.


    As for the Vastsun Universe Pill this kind, it should belong to peak level nine!


    After Song Qiyang broke through to Four-star Alchemy God, he could barely manage to refine level six difficulty rank three divine pills.


    Therefore, his current refinement was very strained.

 1611 Repaying Ingratitude With Kindness

    Expending a Herculean effort, Song Qiyang finally refined the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill.


    He secretly heaved a sigh in relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and lamented in his heart, "So freaking tired!"


    Disregarding the level, the refining difficulty of the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill was already not less than some low difficulty rank four divine pills.


    But right at this time, a mocking voice entered his ears.


    "Look at you refining a rank three divine pill, why is it like you''re having a constipation? I''m even somewhat doubting now, are you really a Four-star Alchemy God? They all said that you''re once the Pill Tower''s Three-star Alchemy God''s number one person. I think this standard is also just so-so!" Gu Han''s mockery seemed particularly grating on the ears.


    Clearly, he had long finished the refinement, watching Song Qiyang refine with an amused expression by the side.


    Song Qiyang was angered until his face was livid and he said furiously, "Punk, don''t get too cocky! Flash out your medicinal pill for everybody to see, then be rampant with me!"


    Gu Han shrugged his shoulders and said, "See then see, am I scared of you?! After I finished refining it just now, I observed by the side for a while. Regarding winning a rookie like you, I still have confidence."


    Finished talking, Gu Han directly opened the furnace.


    When everyone saw Gu Han''s medicinal pill, each and every one of their faces revealed a look of despair.


    "Why?! Why that kid can actually refine a high-grade Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill!"


    "The disparity is too great! With Song Qiyang''s pill refinement situation, it''s at most also middle or low-grade."


    "Sigh, could it be that my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, nobody can come out and take care of this punk?"


    ...


    Each and every one of these people sighed incessantly. These few days, they were triggered badly by Gu Han.


    It was just that none of them thought of Ye Yuan at all. Because the current Ye Yuan would not be included in the junior group long ago.


    Ye Yuan was a Pill Tower elder, that was an existence with extremely high status. How could it be possible to get involved in this level of competition?


    But if not counting Ye Yuan, there really wasn''t someone capable of withstanding Gu Han''s genius now.


    He already made the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City lose all of its face.


    Song Qiyang''s expression was incomparably ugly. People are aware of their own affairs, he reckoned that his medicinal pill was most likely just low-grade.


    This medicinal pill, he struggled greatly to refine.


    Song Qiyang''s face turned red, standing there being at loss.


    In a corner building, River Eternal Imperial City''s head elder had a regretful look. He said with a smile, "Brother Ruo Xu, looks like your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City really has no successor! I heard that this is the disciple that you''re most proud of? He actually only has this bit of capability?"


    Ruo Xu''s face turned as black as the bottom of a wok and said, "Ling Zikun, you merely hit the jackpot and ran into a good apprentice. Being smug for what?"


    Ling Zikun smiled and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, don''t get angry. Juniors sparring a bit, why are you so angry? You look at when Xuan Yu''s female disciple lost that day, she was much calmer than you!"


    Ruo Xu said with a cold snort, "Ling Zikun, did you come to my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to assume great airs, or do you really have important matters? If there aren''t important matters, please go!"


    Ling Zikun smiled and said, "Look at what you''re saying, this old man naturally came here because I have important matters. But this matter isn''t urgent for the time being, so I stopped for a longer period of time here. While I''m at it �� let the little fellows spar a bit, it''s also considered getting acquainted!"


    "Humph!" Ruo Xu gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.


    In the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, Ye Yuan asked Ning Tianping next to him in a low voice, "The others all did this?"


    Ning Tianping nodded and said, "Otherwise? This punk is too cocky, but nobody can do anything to him. That''s why he''s arrogant until now."


    In that case, Ning Siyu also bowed to Gu Han.


    Ye Yuan did not have overtly angry emotions. This kind of small squabbles was just like children fighting to the current him.


    His horizons and state of mind were far from what Gu Han, this kind of kid, could understand.


    It was just that Ning Siyu was also considered half his disciple. Being defeated by a little brat, he still felt ashamed.


    "Why? Senior Apprentice Brother Song is the disciple that Head Elder Ruo Xu values the most, it wouldn''t be can''t bear a loss and want to repudiate your debt, right?" Gu Han said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Song Qiyang''s face turned into the color of pig''s liver. Making him, a Four-star Alchemy God, bow to a Three-star Alchemy God, and even had to call the other person lord, this was simply even more uncomfortable than eating a fly.


    But in front of so many people, if he went back on his word, then what he disgraced wouldn''t just be him alone, there was also the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s people.


    "Goddamit, what kind of world is this? Why are there so many freakish existences?"


    Song Qiyang cussed in his heart, resolved his heart, and was just about to bow, but had their collar held by someone from behind.


    Turning around to look, he could not help opening his mouth wide.


    When the onlookers saw this young man who suddenly appeared, each and every one of them became incomparably excited, virtually almost shouted out.


    Ye Yuan did a hush hand gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet.


    Those people immediately understood and instantly quietened down.


    But that look of anticipation on their faces could not be concealed no matter what.


    Gu Han looked at everyone''s reaction, his face revealed a suspicious look.


    Who was this? Why did everyone have this kind of expression?


    Seemed like the moment this kid came, he could overcome the raging tides.


    The other party was clearly just a grand completion Origin Deity.


    In terms of realm, he was not even as high as him!


    This kind of rookie wanted to beat him?


    Dream on!


    Didn''t he see that this Four-star Alchemy God in front of him already lost to him?


    "Ye ��"


    Song Qiyang was just about to speak but was interrupted by Ye Yuan. He said coolly, "Alright, leave it to me here. You go to one side and watch."


    Seeing Ye Yuan say so, Song Qiyang was akin to being granted amnesty and heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart.


    He never dreamed that Ye Yuan would actually come forward at this time.


    One had to know, his past with Ye Yuan was rather unpleasant!


    If it were him, he might also want to watch Ye Yuan lose face on the stage, then go up and send this hateful punk packing.


    Thinking this way, Song Qiyang could not help being somewhat moved in his heart.


    He discovered that compared to Ye Yuan, he was simply a despicable person!


    He repaid ingratitude with kindness, letting him leave casually at this time. It could be said to save his face to the greatest limit.


    For the first time, Song Qiyang somewhat regretted opposing Ye Yuan.


    "Halt! Senior Apprentice Brother Song, are you going to go back on your word here? If you do so, where you want Head Elder Ruo Xu''s face to go?" Gu Han did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all and said in a solemn voice.


    Song Qiyang''s figure froze, and sure enough, stopped moving.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand at him, indicating for him to go down, and said coolly to Gu Han, "He didn''t renege. His bet with you, I''ll take it over."


    Gu Han sized Ye Yuan up and down with a glance and said with a snicker, "You? A mere Three-star Alchemy God, what right do you have to help a Four-star Alchemy God take over? Your face isn''t that big yet!"

 1612 It Then

    Regarding Gu Han''s contempt, Ye Yuan thought nothing of it.


    "Isn''t Lord Gu Han known as River Eternal Imperial City''s number one genius? Why? You don''t even dare to accept a challenge from me, a mere Three-star Alchemy God?" Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    Gu Han had a proud look as he said, "Not just any random Tom, Dick, and Harry can challenge me! Who I challenged were all Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s first-rate young geniuses. So who the hell do you think you are?"


    This Gu Han was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. The targets that he challenged were not randomly selected, but only challenged after careful inquiry.


    It was just that nobody told him that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still had a terrifying existence.


    This existence was already not on the same level as a so-called genius like this.


    The moment Gu Han''s words came out, immediately, a strange atmosphere spread out through the crowd.


    Ye Yuan gently made a gesture, signaling everyone to calm down.


    Everyone immediately understood and quietened down very quickly.


    They already saw through that Ye Yuan was deliberately here to slap faces, and that he intentionally gestured to them to not divulge his identity.


    Everyone was incomparably depressed these few days. Their geniuses suffered a crushing defeat, now, even the Four-star Alchemy God Song Qiyang was defeated.


    More importantly, if they lost, they lost. But the one who lost even had to bow three times to him and even had to say that kind of nauseating words.


    Gu Han''s actions already aroused everyone''s feelings of being filled with a common hatred for the enemy.


    Ye Yuan taking the initiative now to come out and take care of Gu Han, how could they not be happy? Hence, they became very cooperative.


    They all thought very playfully in their hearts that the expression on Gu Han''s face in a while would definitely be extremely wonderful!


    You''re a genius?


    You are unmatched under the heavens?


    Hur hur!


    When you witness Elder Ye''s means, you''ll know that your pride is simply a joke.


    Ye Yuan was not angry either and said with a light smile, "Whether I have the qualifications to challenge you or not, you ask them and you''ll know. You guys, do I have the qualifications to challenge him?"


    Ye Yuan said it to the crowd of onlookers, they were also very cooperative when they heard.


    "Ye Yuan is our imperial city''s youngest genius. He naturally has the qualifications to challenge you!"


    "If even Ye Yuan doesn''t have the qualifications, then nobody has this qualification!"


    "Not daring to accept the challenge, you wouldn''t be afraid of losing, right?"


    ...


    Everyone clamored to get a word in, but nobody revealed Elder Ye Yuan''s identity.


    In the corner building, Ling Zikun laughed in spite of himself and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s junior disciples already can''t send people out? Even a Four-star Alchemy God was defeated, but to send out a Three-star Alchemy God over, isn''t it simply asking for humiliation?"


    Ruo Xu''s face revealed an extremely strange expression. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually come forward at this time.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan had no interest in this kind of struggle between juniors. He knew that with Ye Yuan''s realm, this level of fighting was merely small squabbles.


    But very clearly, Ye Yuan stepping up at this time was the most suitable.


    "Ling Zikun, you don''t get cocky too early! This young man is different from the rest!"


    How shrewd was Ruo Xu? How could he reveal Ye Yuan''s identity?


    This Ling Zikun postured in front of him every day,so he had already had enough of that attitude.


    Now that Ye Yuan took the initiative to step forward and slap faces, how could he not help him achieve success?


    His conflict with Ye Yuan was also just internal conflict no matter what. But now, people were bullying his own side, so how could he help outsiders?


    Sure enough, Ling Zikun had an indifferent look and could not help laughing as he said, "Different from the rest? How different can he be? Among Three-star Alchemy Gods, it''s impossible for there to be someone who''s Gu Han''s match. His strength, you saw it too. What are the chances of winning do you think this unknown kid has?"


    Ruo Xu gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.


    But he was secretly thrilled in his heart.


    Even I am Ye Yuan''s vanquished opponent. But this dog-fart apprentice of yours also want to win against Ye Yuan?


    You aren''t even qualified to kneel and lick his shoes!


    ...


    Seeing everyone''s words, combining with the looks when everyone saw Ye Yuan previously, Gu Han already determined that Ye Yuan was likely a rising star in the city.


    Except, why did no one tell him that there was still such a young powerhouse after he inquired for so many days?


    Could it be that this guy in front of him was the strongest person among the young generation?


    However, who cares!


    Any young genius could only kneel and lick him too!


    "Alright, I''ll give you this opportunity! Same rules, you lose, together with him!" Gu Han said proudly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Done, no problem."


    Gu Han gave Ye Yuan a glance and said coolly, "Don''t say that I''m bullying you. You pick the medicinal pill. Just pick that one that you''re best at because it doesn''t matter to me."


    Ye Yuan pointed at the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill and said with a smile, "This then."


    Gu Han was taken aback. He even thought that Ye Yuan wanted to pick some easier medicinal pills. He did not expect that this kid actually dared to challenge the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill.


    After being dazed, Gu Han laughed in spite of himself and said, "Kid, do you really know how to refine pills? Could it be that you''re blind? Even your Senior Apprentice Brother Song, a dignified Four-star Alchemy God, nearly failed just now. You, a Three-star Alchemy God, actually want to compete in the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill with me?"


    Song Qiyang did not leave, being said so by Gu Han, his entire person blushed red with embarrassment.


    He wished to rush up to the stage and peel this punk''s skin off.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill, it''s nothing much."


    Gu Han knew that he was very arrogant, but he suddenly discovered that this guy in front of him was even more arrogant than him!


    "Yoo, what high-sounding sentiments! Then I want to see whether or not your strength can match your tone!" Gu Han could not help laughing as he said.


    The competition started.


    The moment Ye Yuan made a move, Ling Zikun''s expression changed.


    That kind of Great Dao melody, that skilled to the extreme pill refining technique, was not on the same level as Gu Han at all.


    With Ye Yuan''s current strength, refining the Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill was too easy. He only used 20% to 30% strength and it was sufficient to insta-kill Gu Han.


    But in Ling Zikun''s view, it was completely not the case.


    "This �� Could it be that this young man is your disciple? Brother Ruo Xu, you concealed so deeply!" Ling Zikun''s words revealed astonishment and helplessness.


    He did not expect that Ruo Xu actually saved his ace in the hole till the end.


    Only several dozen breaths passed and Ling Zikun knew that Gu Han did not have any chance of winning at all.


    Not even a scrap!


    Seeing Ling Zikun''s deflated expression, it was Ruo Xu''s first time laughing so happily in this one month.


    Ruo Xu laughed and said, "Heh heh, this old man doesn''t have that blessing and also doesn''t have that strength."


    Ling Zikun said in surprise, "Could it be �� an apprentice of one of those few people?"


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the strongest were naturally not Ruo Xu and Zheng Qi.


    The truly powerful existences normally could not be seen at all.


    Hence, Ling Zikun thought of those few straight away.


    Ruo Xu smiled and said nothing. He did not answer Ling Zikun.


    Merely less than one hour and Ye Yuan was done.


    When Gu Han finished refining, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a look of amusement.


    That expression was the exact same as how he looked at Song Qiyang before.

 1613 So-called Genius

    Ye Yuan opened the furnace very leisurely, retrieved the pill. Naturally, Gu Han was shocked, not daring to believe it.


    "D-Divine-grade! How is this possible!" Gu Han said in shock.


    "Why can''t it be possible?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Gu Han pointed at Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill and said, "You''re just a Three-star Alchemy God, so how can it be possible to refine a divine-grade Unbosom Immortal Cloud Pill?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since it''s a rank three divine pill, why can''t a Three-star Alchemy God refine divine-grade? You can''t do it. It''s just because your cultivation is lacking."


    Gu Han was rendered speechless. His expression flickered non-stop and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don''t accept it! L-Let''s compete again!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, "Alright, your turn to choose this time then."


    Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "I want to compete in the Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill with you!"


    Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill was Gu Han''s current maximum ability.


    If categorizing it according to difficulty, it should belong to peak level six.


    With Gu Han''s present ability, even refining low-grade was only through brute force and with difficulty.


    But at this time, he already could not care.


    Compared to other geniuses, Gu Han''s age was already considered very young. Till this date, he was also merely 500 to 600 years old.


    But today, he was completely defeated by someone at the same rank who was less than 300 years old. He could not endure this grievance.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I even thought that you''d pick some level seven difficulty. I didn''t expect that choosing here and there, it''s still level six. Forget it, don''t need you to refine either. You just watch by the side. When I finish refining, if you feel that you can surpass me, then it''s not too late to make a move then."


    Gu Han was so angry!


    He had never been underestimated by someone like this before since he became famous in River Eternal Imperial City until now.


    Ye Yuan''s words were clearly despising that his pill refinement speed was slow!


    A sense of humiliation rose in Gu Han''s heart.


    These few days, he virtually swept across all the way, sweeping away Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s young geniuses.


    Now, it was his turn.


    But before waiting for him to agree, Ye Yuan already started refining the pill.


    The more Gu Han watched at one side, the more alarmed he got. He was utterly dumbfounded by Ye Yuan''s alchemy skills.


    A Three-star Alchemy God could really do it to this extent?


    The dull and boring pill refinement actually became beautiful in Ye Yuan''s hands, making people have the jubilation of comprehending Great Dao.


    There was actually still this kind of performance?


    An hour passed in a flash. When Ye Yuan successfully condensed the pill, Gu Han could not even quite dare to believe his own eyes.


    A peak level six difficulty medicinal pill, he actually only needed an hour and it was done?


    How in the world did this guy do it?


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded, directly opening the furnace.


    Gu Han looked at the divine-grade Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill, his eyeballs almost popping out.


    "Well? If you can refine a void spirit divine-grade Mystic Moon Qi Condensing Pill, I''ll admit defeat," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    When Gu Han heard, the corners of his mouth could not refrain from twitching heavily.


    Void spirit divine-grade?


    You''re messing with me, right?!


    "Hahaha, my Lord Gu Han, weren''t you very cocky just now? Continue being cocky then!"


    "My Lord Gu Han, didn''t you claim that my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City has no one?"


    "My Lord Gu Han, now, you''re defeated. Who will your River Eternal Imperial City be sending over?"


    "Hey, you lost. Quickly bow to our Elder Ye!"


    "What genius?! What undefeatable in the same rank?! In front of Elder Ye, all are trash!"


    ...


    The onlookers eating melon seeds had long been unable to hold it in, all erupting at this time.


    They called ''my Lord Gu Han'' again and again, speaking sarcastically to the extreme.


    Holding back for a month, they could finally hold their heads up high now!


    Originally, comparing notes and sparring among young geniuses, this was no big deal.


    But this Gu Han was too tyrannical. People lost and they still had to bow, and even call him Lord Gu Han.


    Him acting like that, it would be weird if the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s people could be happy.


    At this time, if they did not give Gu Han hell, then when would they wait until?


    Ye Yuan looked at Gu Han and said with a smile, "What''s the meaning of not talking? Is this not admitting defeat? River Eternal Imperial City''s young genius is merely thus!"


    Gu Han''s entire person was dazed at this time and had yet to react to Ye Yuan''s identity of elder.


    There was not only Gu Han alone present, but there were also still several of his senior apprentice brothers.


    At this time, a youth holding a sword slowly walked out of the crowd, his gaze scorching as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, "This brother, I wonder what they are calling you Elder Ye for?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Calling me elder is naturally because I''m a Pill Tower elder."


    The faces of the youth holding the sword and Gu Han changed, their eyes full of shock.


    In front of so many people, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to lie.


    Then, this young man before their eyes was actually really an elder of the Pill Tower?


    Too ridiculous, right?


    After the shock, the youth holding the sword gave a bow to Ye Yuan and said, "Since you''re a Pill Tower elder, coming forward to deal with my junior apprentice brother now seems to be somewhat bullying the weak as the strong, right?"


    Ye Yuan looked at the youth grasping the sword and said coolly, "If your junior apprentice brother has my strength, he can naturally become an elder too. The crux isn''t my identity but strength! Didn''t he say that he wanted to challenge Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s geniuses? This Ye is untalented. Touching my heart and examining my conscience, I should be considered of the same age as your junior apprentice brother. Our realms are similar too, so it shouldn''t be bullying the weak as the strong, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made the two people choke.


    Yeah, Ye Yuan relied on his strength to become an elder.


    But in reality, Ye Yuan was just the same age as them, even younger than them!


    Him coming to accept the challenge, nobody could say any complaint.


    The sword-grasping youth said in a solemn voice, "No matter what, Elder Ye''s status is also put there and originally shouldn''t join in our junior generation''s sparring."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was scorching as he said, "Then your meaning is, only you guys are allowed to win, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City isn''t allowed to win?"


    The sword-grasping youth had an embarrassed look. He discovered that this Elder Ye did not seem easy to deal with.


    However, Gu Han was young and aggressive. Ye Yuan''s words deeply triggered him.


    His head heated up and he said in a clear voice, "Elder Ye, is it? I admit that you''re of the same age as me, I also admit that I can''t match up to your Alchemy Dao! But I''m still unconvinced! To me, Alchemy Dao is merely auxiliary, while Martial Dao is the right path! Elder Ye, this Gu is untalented and wants to challenge Elder Ye! I wonder if you dare to accept the challenge?!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces revealed odd looks.


    If it were before, they naturally felt that Ye Yuan could not beat Gu Han.


    But now, Ye Yuan was known as the Martial Tower''s number one person!


    Two years ago, he became the one and only martial artist capable of coming out of the spatial inheritance.


    Such monstrous talent, who could compare?


    This Gu Han, really giving up until he reached the Yellow River, not shedding tears until he saw the coffin!


    The sword-grasping youth also said coolly, "Elder Ye, a so-called genius should be exceptional in both alchemy and martial arts! Since you''re Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s elder, I presume that you also have some achievements in martial arts. If you can defeat my junior apprentice brother in martial arts too, we''ll naturally be wholeheartedly convinced!"


    Gu Han said, "Elder Ye, if you can best me in martial arts too, I''ll kowtow to you three times!"


    Ye Yuan gave these two people a glance and said helplessly, "Since you guys said so, then this elder will accept deferentially than to decline courteously."

 1614 Powerful Spatial Laws

    Ling Zikun''s expression was very ugly. He looked at Ruo Xu and said in a solemn voice, "Brother Ruo Xu, are you messing with me? Making an elder go and deal with my disciple, what is this if not bullying the weak as the strong?"


    Actually, Ling Zikun knew that he was quibbling.


    Ye Yuan''s age was even much younger than Gu Han, so this argument could not hold water at all.


    If want to say, he could only say that Gu Han''s talent was much worse than Ye Yuan''s.


    For a Three-star Alchemy God to possess such terrifying talent, it truly made people be in despair!


    These few years, he had always felt smug because of taking in Gu Han, this disciple, and also liked to bring Gu Han along to challenge everywhere.


    During these recent few years, Gu Han had seen few defeats.


    But today, they really kicked an iron plate.


    Ye Yuan looked to be merely a little kid, but this little kid was already an honorable elder!


    How could Ruo Xu be that easy to bluff? It was only to see him chuckled and said, "Brother Zikun, Elder Ye is my Pill Tower''s elder. This old man doesn''t have that authority to direct him to go and teach your disciple a lesson. Moreover, even though Elder Ye is a Pill Tower''s elder, his age is even much younger than Gu Han. To talk about my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s real strongest young genius, it should be him! You saying these words is a baseless false accusation."


    Ruo Xu was refreshed in his heart. For the first time, he had gratitude, this emotion, toward Ye Yuan.


    In this one month, he had suffered quite a bit of loss.


    In front of Ling Zikun, he never raised his head before.


    Ling Zikun''s face was black as the bottom of a pot as he said in a solemn voice, "Resorting to sophistry in self-justification! No matter what, he''s an elder! How can he go and compete with this old man''s disciple?"


    Ruo Xu gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Elder Ye is really disdainful to take action against your disciple. You aren''t aware, back then, he casually taught Ning Siyu that lass for a few days and she defeated my disciple. If my conjectures are right, he''s here to stand up for Ning Siyu that girl."


    Ling Zikun''s expression flickered incessantly and he said in a solemn voice, "Humph! So what?! My disciple is skilled in alchemy and martial arts. When he beats your Elder Ye, then your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will utterly lose its face!"


    But when Ruo Xu heard, he did not refute it.


    That meaningful smile made Ling Zikun''s heart palpitate.


    Could it be that this Elder Ye was even a martial art expert?


    Impossible!


    This Elder Ye was so young, his Alchemy Dao had already reached sublimity. So how could his Martial Dao possibly be stronger than Gu Han?


    But what was with Ruo Xu''s expression?


    ...


    The sword-grasping youth nodded and said, "Little Junior Brother fused the law of wind and law of fire. Furthermore, the two powers of laws are comprehended extremely highly. Ordinary same rank martial artists are not his match at all. Moreover, this Elder Ye''s realm is not even as high as his."


    "Huhu, this Elder Ye thinks that he''s a genius. He''s too condescending! Even if it''s me, if at the same realm as Little Junior Brother, I''m definitely not his match either."


    The sword-grasping youth smiled and said, "When Little Junior Brother defeats this Elder Ye, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will have utterly lost its face."


    Gu Han looked at Ye Yuan proudly and said with disdain, "Make your move! My realm is higher than yours, so I''ll allow you three moves, lest that others say that I am bullying you!"


    With him saying those words, people revealed odd looks again.


    Elder Ye is an existence who comprehended spatial laws, and you allow him three moves?


    This �� How fearless is this punk?


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I, as an elder, could it be that I can still take advantage of you, a junior? Want to allow, it''s also me who allows it. How about this? Feel free to make your move, and I won''t retaliate. As long as you can touch the corners of my sleeves, consider it my loss!"


    Gu Han seemed to have the funniest joke in the world. He wondered if this Elder Ye''s head had a problem?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan did not hear that he had already swept across the Martial Tower?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan did not know that he fused the law of wind and law of fire?


    Yes, he must not know of it!


    Posturing huh?


    Want face because of your identity as an elder?


    You''re just a Pill Tower elder, not Martial Tower elder!


    Gu Han''s senior apprentice brothers also froze when they heard it, and they immediately exchanged glances and smiled.


    The sword-grasping youth smiled and said, "This Elder Ye is also an interesting person."


    Gu Han laughed in spite of himself and said, "My Elder Ye, this is what you said! When you lose in a while, you''ll bow to me six times all the same!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Of course, I''m as good as my word."


    When Gu Han heard that, his face fell and a powerful aura spread out.


    The battle previously, Gu Han did not even attack with his full strength.


    But this time, he decided to go all out.


    This man in front of him made him somewhat jealous!


    He, being a genius, it was his first time being challenged by others!


    He was truly unable to imagine it that a young man who was so much younger than him actually already became the Pill Tower''s elder.


    This was a disgrace to me.


    "Wind Fire Setting Sun!"


    Two powers of law blended in perfect harmony. Two kinds of terrifying spiritual energy displayed unrivaled power under the turbulence of the power of law.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of their faces revealed shock.


    Only now did they know how great Gu Han''s talent was!


    It turned out that when he dealt with the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s geniuses, he actually did not do his best!


    At this time, the fire borrowed the wind''s momentum, the wind helped the fire to blaze. The powerful attack came down onto Ye Yuan overwhelmingly.


    This power gave people a feeling of palpitation.


    However, Ye Yuan was composed, not moving a muscle. It was as if he did not have the intention of evading at all.


    Seeing this scene, Gu Han could not resist laughing coldly, "Courting death!"


    He was very confident in his attack. Ye Yuan actually did not dodge or evade. What was this if not seeking death?


    But in the next instant, Gu Han''s eyeballs nearly popped out.


    "Impossible! How �� How can it be like this?!" Gu Han said with a look of disbelief.


    Gu Han''s attack suddenly disappeared several dozen feet in front of Ye Yuan.


    When it appeared again, it already passed through Ye Yuan, directly arriving behind him.


    Boom!


    The grand array shook violently. This attack blasted onto the protective grand array solidly.


    "Eldest Senior Brother, what happened? That Elder Ye didn''t move at all, why did Little Junior Brother''s attack pass right through him?"


    The sword-grasping man''s expression changed drastically and he cried out in shock, "Spatial laws! My eyesight isn''t failing, right? How is this possible?"


    The sword-grasping man''s junior brother said in disbelief, "Spatial laws? Eldest Senior Brother, are you mistaken? How can there possibly be someone who comprehended spatial laws while being at the Origin Deity Realm?"


    The sword-grasping man had shock written all over his face as he said, "It''s absolutely spatial laws, no mistake! Furthermore, his spatial laws comprehension is already very high! Little �� Little Junior Brother has lost! He doesn''t have any chance! No wonder Elder Ye dared to utter such brave words. Turns out that he actually comprehended spatial laws!"


    Gu Han''s expression was ugly to the extreme. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I �� I don''t believe that I can''t take care of you!"


    Done talking, Gu Han''s figure moved, dashing over toward Ye Yuan like lightning.

 1615 Brutalized to Tears

    "Huu �� Huu �� Huu ��"


    Gu Han panted heavily for air. His divine essence was already close to being exhausted, and he was tired until he was virtually collapsing from exhaustion.


    But no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves.


    The surroundings were dead silent. Their breathings were virtually about to stop.


    All along, they had heard that spatial laws were very powerful; one of the supreme laws.


    But just how strong spatial laws were, they had not seen it personally.


    But today, they truly witness the might of spatial laws!


    No one doubted Gu Han''s strength. Being able to fuse two kinds of laws to this degree, his strength was already extremely daunting.


    To say that he was undefeatable in the same rank was also not an exaggeration.


    However, he still could not even touch a sliver of Ye Yuan''s sleeves!


    Everyone understood. If Ye Yuan wanted to kill Gu Han, he would not survive within a single breath of time.


    "T-Too strong! Are these spatial laws? Simply undefeatable!"


    "Grasping space, all attacks can''t touch the other party at all, how to fight still?"


    "No wonder it''s called a supreme law. This level of strength, it''s impossible for anyone to be Elder Ye''s match beneath the Divine Lord Realm!"


    ...


    People came back to their senses, but now they had a clearer understanding of Ye Yuan''s might.


    This level of strength, probably only the Divine Lord Realm''s world power could resolve it.


    "I �� I lost! Sniff, sniff �� I lost!" Gu Han finally shed unwilling tears and conceded.


    Yes, he cried!


    Today, it was his most agonizing failure in several hundred years.


    There had never been an opponent who made him so powerless before.


    This made his self-esteem had an intense sense of setback.


    Alchemy Dao, crushed until he was badly battered and bruised.


    Martial Dao, could not even touch the corners of his sleeves.


    Genius?


    This was simply a joke!


    When people saw this scene, each and every one of them was stunned.


    They did not expect that Gu Han was actually brutalized to tears.


    But thinking about it, they felt that it made sense too.


    Peers encountering Ye Yuan was really a tragedy.


    From the beginning, this was a mistake.


    If not for this case, on what basis could Ye Yuan set on the throne of elders?


    At this moment, people actually inexplicably had an additional trace of favorable impression toward this arrogant Gu Han.


    Mn, also sympathy.


    In this one month, the impression that Gu Han gave people was very impetuous and arrogant, very overbearing. The feeling that it gave people was very uncomfortable.


    But looking at it now, he was merely still a child.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that Gu Han actually did something like this. After being momentarily dazed, he went up to pat his shoulder and said coolly, "Victory and defeat are common for soldiers. You only lost for a period of time, so it''s no big deal."


    Gu Han slapped Ye Yuan''s hand away and said with tears in his eyes, "I don''t need your pity! Are you trying to use the attitude of the victor to humiliate me right now? Dream on!"


    This sentence made the hint of favorable impression that just appeared in everyone immediately vanish like soap bubbles.


    But Ye Yuan did not get angry and said coolly, "Do you think that I have that need?"


    Gu Han could not help choking when he heard that. He looked at Ye Yuan and opened his mouth, but he could not speak.


    Yeah, Ye Yuan was not someone in the same world as him at all!


    His bit of pride was worth nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes!


    He was the Pill Tower''s elder, an apex figure of the imperial city.


    While him?


    He indeed had a lot of potential and might become River Eternal Imperial City''s apex figure in the future too.


    But that was many, many years later.


    His gap with Ye Yuan would only grow bigger and bigger along with the passage of time, and not shrink!


    Ye Yuan looked at his expression and said with a smile, "You only saw my strength, but your don''t know what I''ve experienced. Strength never comes out of thin air, for me to be able to defeat you, it''s not just winning you in terms of talent. I admit that you''re indeed extraordinarily talented, but thousands and tens of thousands of years later, you might not be stronger than our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s disciples! Therefore, if you come to compare notes, we welcome it. But you were too overbearing when doing things, so we don''t welcome you."


    Only when Gu Han heard this did he know why Ye Yuan took action.


    He suddenly realised it. Had he gone too overboard?


    Winning one''s opponent and even deliberately humiliating the opponent, this kind of thing happening to anyone, they would not be happy either.


    "I �� I was wrong!" Gu Han said in a low voice.


    The sword-grasping man suspected whether he heard wrongly or not. Little Junior Brother actually admitted his fault to others!


    Someone as proud as Little Junior Brother actually admitted fault to others!


    Everyone exchanged glances, all dumbfounded.


    This stubborn and unruly young man actually admitted his fault to Elder Ye!


    Too awesome!


    Ye Yuan looked at Gu Han and said with a smile, "Even if you win against all of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s genius disciples, I can''t be bothered to care about you either. But you won and even wanted to humiliate your opponent, I can''t put up with that. You''re slapping the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s face. I, as a Pill Tower''s elder, naturally have to make a move to teach you a lesson. Leave then, with your talent, your future prospects will be limitless. But if you keep on putting on airs and looking down on people like this, you''ll suffer a big loss sooner or later. Today, I only made a move to teach you a lesson, but your enemy probably won''t let you off easily."


    Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "I �� Many thanks for Elder Ye''s teachings!"


    Finished talking, Gu Han bowed three times to Ye Yuan respectfully, turned around, and left.


    The sword-grasping man and the rest were scared of Gu Han meeting with a mishap and hurriedly followed after.


    A senior apprentice brother said, "Little Junior Brother, you �� You don''t have to take it to heart. Victory and defeat are common fare for soldiers, next time, let''s just win back!"


    Gu Han gave him a glance and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, do you think that I have a chance to win him?"


    That senior apprentice brother choked when he heard that. He very much wanted to say can, but he knew that if nothing too unexpected happened, Gu Han probably could not catch up to Ye Yuan for the rest of his life.


    The disparity between them was not what hard work could make up for at all!


    Gu Han suddenly turned around and said to the sword-grasping man, "Eldest Senior Brother, the precious treasure coming into being this time, I want to go too!"


    The sword-grasping man was not too surprised and said with a smile, "I have no objections. But �� it still requires Master''s approval."


    Gu Han nodded his head, turned around, and left.


    ...


    "Tsk tsk, Elder Ye is Elder Ye, really too impressive!"


    "Yeah, that kid has been showing off these few days. Not only did Elder Ye brutalize him to tears, he even made him admit his fault obediently. Such means, I''m convinced!"


    "Whatever kind of genius, once they meet Elder Ye, that''s a tragedy!"


    "Haha, Elder Ye is simply a genius killer! In the past, Song Qiyang was like this. Now, this Gu Han was also like this."


    ...


    The news of Ye Yuan brutalizing Gu Han to tears made everyone talk with great gusto.


    Ravaging Gu Han was within everyone''s expectations.


    But they never thought that Gu Han actually took the initiative to admit fault in the end, his attitude sincere.


    Such a stubborn and unruly genius, this simply made people''s jaws drop.


    In the corner building, Ling Zikun finally heaved a long sigh and said to Ruo Xu, "Oh, Ruo Xu, it''s almost time. We should also talk about business."

 1616 Xiantian Divine Lord Mystic Treasure

    "Elders, I believe that the news of Ling Zikun''s arrival, everyone already knows about it. Actually, his real objective of coming this time is to seek help from us ��"


    Ruo Xu spoke with confidence and composure, introducing the true objective of Ling Zikun coming this time, making all of the elders visibly moved.


    It turned out that River Eternal Imperial City had a sudden phenomenon. It was very likely that a precious treasure was about to be born.


    But the place where the phenomenon occurred was at the borders with Eminent Orchid Imperial City.


    This phenomenon clearly could not hide from the eyes and ears of the fiend race.


    A precise treasure capable of causing a heaven and earth phenomenon, the fiend race would naturally covet it too.


    Now, there were already large groups of experts gathering at the place where the phenomenon occurred.


    River Eternal Imperial City was worried that a single log could not prop up a tottering building. Hence, they sought assistance from the surrounding imperial cities.


    Ling Zikun''s party precisely came to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to ask for help.


    The two imperial cities were adjacent neighbors. If River Eternal Imperial City wanted to seek help, they naturally had to look for the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    "Elder Zheng Qi, this matter still needs your Martial Tower to take action. What do you think?" Ruo Xu asked Zheng Qi.


    Zheng Qi mused for a moment and said, "This matter concerns the fiend race, we naturally have to help. It''s just that, if there is only one precious treasure, what should be done about the final ownership?"


    Ruo Xu said, "This matter, I''ve already asked Ling Zikun. He said that precious treasures are obtained by the fated. As long as it doesn''t land in the hands of the fiend race, that will do. But hearing Ling Zikun''s meaning, this precious treasure is likely extraordinary. It might attract fiend race Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s face suddenly changed.


    Once Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses stepped in, this matter would become very tricky.


    Zheng Qi thought about it and said, "This matter, best for this old man to personally take action! With the others going, they probably can''t control the scene. Disregarding fiend race powerhouses, just that land where precious treasure would be born will likely be quite dangerous too."


    "No way! Head Elder Zheng, you''re the Martial Tower''s leader! How can you take the risk personally?"


    "Yeah, Head Elder Zheng, you''re the strongest person in the Martial Tower. If you were to meet with any mishap, what would we do?"


    The moment Zheng Qi said that he wanted to go, many elders directly expressed objection.


    At this time, the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s elders were all present.


    The Martial Tower was going on an expedition, so the Pill Tower naturally had to refine a batch of medicinal pills too.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Qi, his gaze revealing admiration.


    Anyone knew that this trip was dangerous. Even Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses might be alarmed. Seizing treasure this sort of thing, it was probably not that easy.


    Even if Zheng Qi went personally, it was also not certain that he could return safe and sound.


    Clearly, Zheng Qi knew that this trip was perilous, that was why he would so personally, only to hope to bring some more people back.


    This undertaking filled Ye Yuan with deep veneration.


    At this time, he could casually appoint an elder to go, and presumably, no one would dare to say a word.


    Ruo Xu also did not expect that Zheng Qi was actually so decisive. He opened his mouth and said, "Old Brother, have you really decided on this?"


    Zheng Qi nodded and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, those few are in closed-seclusion all year round. When this old man isn''t around, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will be entrusted to you."


    Ruo Xu sighed and said, "Alright! This matter, this old man can''t help much either. These few days, this old man will urge the Pill Tower''s elders to refine more batches of medicinal pills."


    Zheng Qi cupped his fists and said, "Then I''ll have to trouble Brother Ruo Xu!"


    Afterward, Zheng Qi picked out another ten or so Martial Tower elders, deacons, and protectors.


    These people had to follow him.


    Even Head Elder was personally going, they naturally had no reason to refuse.


    Moreover, this kind of thing, if it happened to anyone, they would have the mentality of leaving things to luck.


    What if the precious treasure was obtained by them?


    "Alright, this matter is decided, all disperse then," Ruo Xu said.


    At this time, the Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, "Head Elder Zheng, I''m going too."


    Ruo Xu''s brows furrowed and he berated, "Elder Ye, what are you messing around for?"


    The moment Zheng Qi heard, he also shook his head and said, "Elder Ye, this trip is too dangerous, even this old man doesn''t have the confidence to get out unscathed. You''d best not go. You''re our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s future hope, nothing must happen to you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone, calm down. Listen to me until the end."


    As he said, he looked at Ruo Xu and asked, "Head Elder Ruo Xu, did Ling Zikun tell you what the precious treasure coming into being this time is?"


    Ruo Xu was stunned and shook his head and said, "The precious treasure hasn''t been born yet, how would he know?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If my guesses are right, the venue where the precious treasure is being born this time should be the Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural chasm, right?"


    Ruo Xu was surprised as he said, "How did you know?"


    The specifics of the location was not disclosed previously, but Ye Yuan actually knew the location of the birth of the precious treasure, how could this not surprise him?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''ve been to the Fiend Calling Ridge before, and also went down the natural chasm before, so I''m still rather familiar with that place. I know that you all are worried that my realm is lacking. But going this time, even if a person''s realm being high, it will likely be useless."


    When the group of elders heard Ye Yuan''s words, they were incredibly shocked.


    They also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually went to River Eternal Imperial City before, and even went down Fiend Calling Ridge''s natural chasm before.


    Zheng Qi''s brows knitted together and he said to Ye Yuan, "Elder Ye, you continue speaking!"


    He realized that Ling Zikun probably held something back, afraid that they would not go, so he did not say.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and continued saying.


    Actually, when Ye Yuan returned from the fiend race back then, he went down the natural chasm once more.


    He could sense that natural chasm''s extraordinariness and harbored a curious mindset, that was why he went down to investigate.


    Of course, others could also feel it. It was just that they did not have the ability to go down.


    Even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses got to be careful going down too. A single misstep and it was the outcome of being smashed to pieces.


    One had to know, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield.


    When Ye Yuan just broke through to Origin Deity Realm back then, he could just happen to go down and temper the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and explore it along the way.


    At that time, Ye Yuan sunk down close to ten thousand meters and still did not reach the bottom.


    But at that time, a strong uneasiness came from below, making Ye Yuan not dare to go deeper anymore.


    But Ye Yuan also felt that there seemed to faintly be a powerful aura transmitting out from below. It was as if there was some treasure currently gestating.


    This kind of magical place giving birth to whatever treasure was also a very normal thing.


    Hearing Ruo Xu''s introduction earlier, Ye Yuan immediately connected it to this natural chasm.


    "If my conjectures are right, the precious treasure coming into being this time might be an innate divine lord mystic treasure, or might even be an innate celestial deity mystic treasure!"


    Ye Yuan words hell-bent on shocking people to death, igniting the elders meeting all at once.


    "What? Innate divine lord mystic treasure!"


    "My God! Don''t talk about innate celestial deity mystic treasure, even innate celestial deity mystic treasure, Celestial Deity powerhouses can''t hold back either!"


    "This Ling Zikun wouldn''t be scamming us, right?"


    All the elders revealed fervent looks, clearly extremely moved by this innate divine lord mystic treasure.

 1617 Old Scores

    Ruo Xu and Zheng Qi both had astonished expressions. Innate divine lord mystic treasure, this term, deeply shocked them.


    Ye Yuan only heard Dustless mention this thing when he dove down the natural chasm too.


    Dustless told Ye Yuan at that time, the origin magnetic field at this place was so strong. An innate divine lord mystic treasure might be born deep at the bottom.


    Innate divine lord mystic treasure and divine lord mystic treasures refined postnatal, that level was completely different.


    Although divine lord mystic treasures were rare, reaching Ruo Xu''s and Zheng Qi''s level, having one was not a problem.


    But innate divine lord mystic treasure was so rare that hearing it made one''s hair stand on end.


    The reason why it was called innate divine lord mystic treasure was naturally because it was gestated naturally.


    It was just that the conditions for forming were extremely harsh. Only in some very special places, could it inoculate successfully.


    Innate divine lord mystic treasures, its power overwhelmed same rank postnatal divine lord mystic treasures.


    Not just so, the most precious aspect of innate divine lord mystic treasures was that it was conceived naturally. Within it contained Heavenly Dao laws.


    Once martial artists refined an innate divine lord mystic treasure, they could fuse with this portion of Heavenly Dao strength, letting themselves break through the shackles from there.


    To a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, the chances of breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm would also greatly increase.


    How could this kind of treasure not move people?


    If the thing being born this time was an innate celestial deity mystic treasure, that value was immeasurable.


    Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses would definitely go into action without delay.


    "Elder Ye, this matter is of utmost importance, you can''t make any jokes!" Zheng Qi sucked in a cold breath and said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can this Ye joke about this matter? But what''s there below that natural chasm, this Ye can''t say for sure as well. But it''s definitely very dangerous. Furthermore, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield. One''s realm will also be suppressed drastically. The higher the realm, the higher the suppression. If Head Elder, you go, I reckon that at most, you can only unleash the strength of third-layered heaven Divine Lord."


    Hearing this, everyone''s faces turned slightly fearful.


    Zheng Qi''s expression could not help becoming serious. This news that Ye Yuan brought was very useful to him.


    This news, knowing in-advance and preparing for it was God knows how many times better than last minute fumbling blinding when the time came.


    Realm suppression was not targeted at them only but targeting everyone.


    Once they were prepared, that was taking the initiative.


    "Elder Ye, if it''s really as you say, we still have to give this matter further thought and confer at length. But �� you still can''t go. The ones going this time are definitely all Divine Lord Realm powerhouses. Even if their realms are suppressed, they are also not what you can deal with. Moreover, there are still Celestial Deity powerhouses raring to go." Zheng Qi said.


    Ruo Xu also said, "Elder Ye, Old Brother Zheng Qi is also worried about your safety. You''d best not go and join in the fun."


    Ever since after Ling Zikun''s incident, Ruo Xu''s impression of Ye Yuan improved significantly.


    Thinking about it, for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to have such a genius, there only seemed to be advantages and no disadvantage.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan repaid ingratitude with kindness, preserving Song Qiyang''s face, and also let him vent his grievance. This made him much more pleased in his heart.


    In the past, he was under an obsession, seemingly taking unnecessary pains to split hairs, opposing Ye Yuan in every way. It seemed to be somewhat too much.


    Ruo Xu knew that his hate had extended on account of another, because of Xuan Yu, and because he feared Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan said, "Two head elders, recently, I encountered some bottleneck in cultivation and it''s hard to resolve. This time, I can just go out and take a walk. You all rest assured, this Ye still has some means, protecting myself should be an issue. Moreover, at the Fiend Calling Ridge there, I think nobody is more familiar and more used to it than I am."


    When Zheng Qi saw Ye Yuan''s composed appearance, he could not help being secretly alarmed.


    Hearing the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words, he still had a considerable trump card on him!


    Zheng Qi ruminated for a moment and finally said, "Alright, since Elder Ye insists on going, then go along. But, once there''s something amiss, you must escape right away. You mustn''t seek to outshine others!"


    ...


    Coming to the Fiend Calling Ridge once more, Ye Yuan was also dumbstruck with amazement by the scenery before his eyes.


    Countless brilliant rays of sunlight shone out from inside the 100 thousand foot abyss, spectacular to behold.


    From very far away, Ye Yuan sensed the extremely strong origin magnetic field. Slight weaker Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could not even fly.


    At this time, Fiend Calling Ridge''s two shores already had large numbers of powerhouses gathered. They were practically all Divine Lord Realm and above powerhouses.


    Disregarding the fiend race''s side, just the human race''s side, the Divine Lord Realm powerhouses that came were no less than 100 people.


    Among them had the reinforcements which River Eternal Imperial City invited, and also reclusive powerhouses who were drawn over.


    "How is it, Ye Yuan?" Zheng Qi asked Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan observed for a while and said, "This forcefield is at least five times of the original. Furthermore, it''s still growing stronger continuously! I didn''t expect that in a short 100 years'' time, such a massive change actually happened to this place."


    "Then according to your surmises, what kind of treasure will be born this time?" Zheng Qi said.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said with a solemn expression, "It''s still hard to say right now, but likely �� the grade won''t be too low."


    The two people were currently talking in a low voice when suddenly, a pair walked over this side.


    "Haha, Zheng Qi, long time no see, you''re actually not dead yet!" An ear-piercing voice drifted over from a distance.


    Zheng Qi''s face turned black and he said coldly, "Gao Yuan, you''re not dead, how can this old man dare to die?!"


    The one in the lead was a slightly chubby old man who looked very wretched. But his aura was very powerful. It was actually on par with Head Elder Zheng Qi.


    Gao Yuan laughed loudly when he heard it and said, "How can a defeated opponent dare to talk brave words?! Heh heh, didn''t expect that you dared to come personally this time. You mustn''t be like that damn master of yours, who died here without any explanation."


    Zheng Qi''s expression was incomparably ugly. Ye Yuan could clearly feel his fury, but he forcefully reined it in.


    "Gao Yuan, don''t you get cocky! Master''s grudge, I''ll seek it back personally one day!" Zheng Qi said in a cold voice.


    Upon meeting, swords were drawn and they were ready to jump at each other''s throats.


    Ye Yuan was uncertain and asked an elder by the side, "What''s going on here?"


    The elder said, "Several tens of thousands of years ago, Head Elder''s master perished inside a mystic realm. But it was said that at that time, Head Elder''s master originally wouldn''t have fallen. He only died because he fell into a trap dug by this Gao Yuan. In the end, this Gao Yuan escaped safe and sound, while Head Elder''s master died inside the mystic realm. Head Elder later cultivated bitterly, and finally broke through to become a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord. Hence, he went to find this Gao Yuan to take revenge. Who knew that because of the lucky chance that this Gao Yuan obtained inside the mystic realm that time, he actually touched the threshold of Celestial Deity Realm, and stepped into half-step Celestial Deity Realm. Head Elder returned in defeat and was nearly killed by Gao Yuan. If not for City Lord personally taking action, Head Elder would probably have already perished."


    Ye Yuan did not think that there were actually still so many twists and turns involved.


    Back then when he brought Coldfeather back, after Coldfeather heard the news of Wu Xingtang''s demise, he was still dejected for a while.


    Clearly, he also valued this disciple of his greatly.

 1618 Unfortunate Wretch

    "Haha! Why wouldn''t I be cocky? The precious treasure being born this time might be the turning point for me to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm! The height that you and that damn master of yours couldn''t reach, I reached it. Won''t you say I should be pleased with myself?" Gao Yuan said smugly.


    In fact, he was still one generation older than Zheng Qi.


    According to his seniority and strength, he shouldn''t come to this place personally.


    Now that he was here, he naturally came for the lucky chance this time.


    He already had half a foot stepped into Celestial Deity Realm, but he kept failing to break through.


    Such a lucky chance, he naturally would not let it go easily.


    Zheng Qi was angered by him until his face was livid, but there was nothing he could do.


    Even though he caught up from behind, catching up to Gao Yuan''s realm, who could have thought that he relied on the lucky chance he schemed and to harm his master? At the end, he actually had half a foot stepped into the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Zheng Qi''s talent was also extremely outstanding. But regarding the Celestial Deity Realm, he had the heart, but his strength was lacking.


    These few years, he practically used everything in his arsenal and was also unable to find the opportunity to break through to Celestial Deity Realm.


    "You naturally have a possibility of obtaining the lucky chance and breakthrough to Celestial Deity Realm. But you also have a likelihood of dying in the Fiend Calling Ridge, becoming a pile of yellow dirt," Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    Gao Yuan''s face fell, his eyes revealed a murderous light as he looked at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not afraid and met Gao Yuan''s gaze.


    "Where did this punk come from? The seniors are talking. Is there a right for you to interrupt?"


    Nobody would have expected that while talking, Gao Yuan raised his hand and it was a palm.


    A powerful palm force rushed toward Ye Yuan at lightning speed.


    This palm was too sudden. There were no signs beforehand at all, resulting in everyone not reacting.


    Sounds of exclamations could be heard all around. It was as if already seeing the scene of Ye Yuan being smacked into minced meat by a palm.


    How powerful was the palm of a half-step Celestial Deity powerhouse? Even just a casual strike was also not what a grand completion Origin Deity martial artist could resist.


    But the next scene made everyone''s exclamations become stupefaction.


    Boom!


    A loud boom, a first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse beside Gao Yuan directly flew out.


    That person fell to the ground, his entire person incomparably miserable and was actually on his dying breath already.


    Gao Yuan''s countenance suddenly changed and he cried out in shock, "Spatial laws!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, not bad huh. You have some knowledge."


    The people beside him did not dare to dawdle, hurriedly going to feed the medicinal pill to that unlucky first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse, who was twisting up in a fluster.


    Gao Yuan looked at Ye Yuan, a cold light glinted.


    He was bullying Ye Yuan on the basis that was young just now, determining that he was Zheng Qi''s junior disciple who was brought out this time to see the world.


    Who could have expected that this young man was actually so troublesome and actually comprehended spatial laws!


    What kind of visual prowess did Gao Yuan have? He saw through at a glance that Ye Yuan''s spatial laws were not that kind of half-baked stuff, but extremely profound comprehensions


    That blow earlier looked simple, but in reality, Ye Yuan manipulated spatial laws, went through a very complicated spatial shuttling, only then, transmitting the attack onto that unfortunate wretch.


    This level of means was simply inconceivable.


    "Spatial laws! That young man actually knows spatial laws!"


    "My God, this kid actually comprehended spatial laws, and he''s only just Origin Deity Realm!"


    "When did such a freak appear in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City?"


    ...


    Hearing spatial laws, cries of exclamations sounded out by the side.


    This kind of heaven-defying law, who did not wish to comprehend it?


    Except, let people cultivate bitterly for ten thousand years and they also could not figure out a speck.


    Even though these Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could use a portion of spatial power, regarding spatial laws, they still only knew a bit of superficial knowledge.


    But Ye Yuan was just Origin Deity Realm and had not even opened up his own small world, and actually already comprehended spatial laws.


    For a moment, jealousy, envy, various emotions, suffused in the air.


    When Gao Yuan attacked just now, Zheng Qi got a fright too. But Gao Yuan caught him by surprise, making him too late to come to the rescue.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan had long been prepared, giving him a dose of his medicine, crippling a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse of the other side.


    All of the frustrations just now turned into veiled delight.


    "Old Punk Gao Yuan, you made an error of judgment this time. Ye Yuan isn''t some junior. He''s my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s elder. He still has the qualifications to scold you a bit," Zheng Qi said with a beam.


    There was another wave of exclamations around. It was still their first time hearing that an Origin Deity Realm could actually become an imperial city''s elder.


    But just based on this spatial laws, it seemed to be sufficient as well.


    He nearly one-shotted a first-layered heaven Divine Lord with one move!


    Even though there was suspicion of opportunism, if it were others, who could do it?


    Gao Yuan''s gaze was icy-cold and clearly had killing intent aroused towards Ye Yuan. He said in a cold voice, "Very good, you all are stirring up this old man''s wrath here! Then you guys have to be prepared to receive this old man''s fury!"


    While talking, a terrifying pressure instantly descended.


    Those who were slightly weaker practically could not stand on their feet.


    The pressure of a half-step Celestial Deity Realm was too strong!


    Zheng Qi revealed a solemn look, secretly thinking to himself that this old fellow''s strength seemed to be much stronger again.


    But Ye Yuan was composed in the face of a crisis, seemingly not worried at all.


    At this time, Ling Zikun suddenly appeared and said, "Dear me, Brother Gao Yuan, on the account of this old man''s face, you all put down your individual grievances first, alright? Opposite, the fiend race is glaring like a ravening tiger. If we have internal strife first, who the big lucky chance belongs to this time would be hard to say!"


    Gao Yuan''s expression changed, his aura instantly withdrawing.


    He gave a cold snort and said, "Ling Zikun, looking on the account of your face today, I''ll spare this brat first! But after this matter, this old man will definitely seek justice for the disciple under me!"


    Ling Zikun hurriedly said, "Brother Gao Yuan, calm down! Brother Gao Yuan, calm down! Oh, right, this one is the Yan Ze who''s garrisoned at Tiderain City. He''s more clear about the situation around here, let him introduce it first."


    A middle-aged man flashed out from behind Ling Zikun, gave a bow to Zheng Qi, Gao Yuan, and the rest, and said, "This lowly one, Yan Ze, pays respect to your excellencies!"


    Suddenly, a person behind Yan Ze cried out, "Y-Ye Yuan! You''re Ye Yuan!"


    Yan Ze''s gaze turned intent and he could not help sweeping over Ye Yuan, immediately feeling somewhat familiar.


    Suddenly, he also suddenly came to realize the truth and exclaimed, "You �� You''re Ye Yuan!"


    Ye Yuan had long recognized these two people. One was the Yan Ze who had a chance encounter with him before, the other was an old acquaintance, Ling Feng.


    He did not expect to actually be able to meet these two people on this kind of occasion.


    Ling Zikun''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "What Ye Yuan? Is Ye Yuan what you guys can call? Got to call Lord Ye Yuan or Elder Ye Yuan!"


    This shock was by no means insignificant. Ling Feng did not understand, but Yan Ze understood what being an elder meant.


    Thinking back then, when he saw Ye Yuan, the other party was still merely a little kid who had just entered Heaven Glimpse Realm.


    Only a hundred over years had gone by, but Ye Yuan actually already became an imperial city''s elder?


    This �� This was too fantastical, right?

 1619 Humans Common Enemy

    "All old friends already, don''t need to be like this. Just call me Ye Yuan. Ling Feng, long time no see, you seemed to be doing pretty well now!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ling Feng was incomparably shocked. In just a short hundred over years, Ye Yuan''s realm actually already grew from the initial-stage Heaven Glimpse back then to the current grand completion Origin Deity.


    This cultivation speed was simply inconceivable.


    "E-Elder Ye! N-Not at all."


    Ling Feng also came back to his senses and immediately realized that Ye Yuan''s present identity was extraordinary. How could he still dare to address Ye Yuan as brothers?


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not force things as well.


    He knew that there was already an insurmountable gulf between him and Ling Feng. Having him talk on equal footing with him again was likely very difficult.


    His growth would inevitably be accompanied by this kind of situation happening.


    Yan Ze was similarly incomparably shocked in his heart. Back then, Ye Yuan was still just a little fellow in his eyes.


    He did not expect that a hundred over years of not seeing, he was already an imperial city''s elder.


    This made him rather uncomfortable.


    But he came back to his senses very quickly and said to Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, you understand this area the best. Introduce the situation of Fiend Calling Ridge for the various lords then."


    Ling Feng bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Yan Ze!"


    At this time, numerous Divine Lord Realm powerhouses gathered around, all of their auras shocking.


    Facing so many Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, Ling Feng''s complexion was also rather pale.


    Fortunately, he had been on the battlefield for many years and was also a person full of vigor and vitality. He could barely manage to calm himself.


    Hence, he started to speak with fervor and assurance, introducing the terrain and features of Fiend Calling Ridge, the dangers of the natural chasm, as well as the opposite fiend race''s forces distribution.


    Ling Feng had flopped around here for many years and knew these things with great familiarity.


    While Yan Ze was pulled to one side by Ling Zikun who asked softly, "How did you guys know Ye Yuan?"


    Mentioning this, Yan Ze''s expression turned fearful, being filled with great respect for Ye Yuan.


    Back then, if not for Ye Yuan, Tiderain City would have long been breached.


    Now, this place would likely be the fiend race''s territory already.


    He recounted the events back then, making Ling Zikun incredibly shocked.


    "This kid is indeed a freak! When at Heaven Glimpse Realm, he could challenge the fiend race army alone. For him to have such accomplishments now, it''s also not unusual anymore," Ling Zikun said with a sigh.


    Ling Zikun chuckled and said, "This kid''s Alchemy Dao strength, even Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Pill Tower''s head elder is ashamed of his inferiority. Do you think he can become an elder or not? Moreover, he even comprehended spatial laws. He''s simply a freak!"


    Yan Ze''s eyes opened wide, with a look of disbelief.


    Even though he guarded the frontier, what Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Pill Tower''s head elder signified, he was very clear.


    Ye Yuan was just grand completion Origin Deity and could actually make Head Elder candidly admit defeat.


    Such strength was a little too freakish, right?


    Very soon, Ling Feng introduced the general situation on this side. Everybody also had an understanding.


    Right now, the precious treasure had not come into being yet. After everyone understood the situation, they each found a place to conserve strength and build up energy.


    But Ye Yuan pulled Ling Feng to one side and talked about the old days with him, and gave him some rank two divine pills.


    Ling Feng''s talent was pretty good. He was clearly peak middle-stage Heaven Glimpse already.


    When he saw the medicinal pills Ye Yuan gave, he was shocked until his jaws hit the ground.


    He realized that as long as he had these medicinal pills, it should not be a problem for him to break through to Origin Deity Realm.


    What Ye Yuan left for him were all divine-grade medicinal pills!


    In the following few days, everyone all quietly waited for the day the precious treasure came into being.


    On this day, light rose to the sky at Fiend Calling Ridge, dazzling to the extreme, giving people a strong sense of shock.


    "This �� What a powerful aura, this is the aura of Great Dao laws."


    "The precious treasure is finally born! Just based on this aura, it''s absolutely a rare treasure!"


    "Too strong! No wonder everyone said that even Celestial Deity powerhouses will be moved. This treasure, I must acquire it!"


    ...


    Sensing the might of the treasure, the people were all unbelievably fervent.


    Everyone clamored to the edge of the cliff and looked down.


    "The treasure is already born! Everybody, quickly go down!"


    Someone gave a roar and leaped into the natural moat.


    With the first person taking the lead, someone immediately followed suit. Quite a number of itinerant cultivators were afraid of people taking the initiative and also jumped down after.


    "ARGH!!"


    But with this jump, there was immediately someone who discovered something amiss.


    Those people lost their center of gravity all of a sudden and actually dropped straight down the 100 thousand foot abyss.


    Screams came over, making everyone panic.


    One had to know, these were all Divine Lord Realm powerhouses; capable of flying in the air. They were actually unable to resist the origin magnetic field within the natural chasm.


    Someone exclaimed, "Everybody don''t jump! This origin magnetic field is too strong, there''s simply no way to fly in the air!"


    Their faces revealed looks of despair. Was this going to return empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain?


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s group also came to the edge of the chasm at this time.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the origin magnetic field at this time was more than a dozen times stronger than originally.


    Such a horrifying gravity, even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses found it difficult to control themselves too.


    And he knew that the further down, the stronger the forcefield. Falling down only had the outcome of being smashed into pieces.


    "Ye Yuan, this �� What to do here?" Zheng Qi could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "We can only each display our magical abilities! According to my estimation, seventh-layered heaven Divine Lords should be able to go down on their own. Ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords can roughly bring two or three people down."


    Zheng Qi said in surprise, "This forcefield is actually so strong?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Only strong, not weak! How powerful the forcefield below is, I can''t say for sure as well. Perhaps when seventh-layered heaven Divine Lords go down, they will also have to suffer a huge loss."


    "Hiss ��"


    Heavenly Eagle''s people sucked in a cold breath. The strength of this forcefield was also too great.


    The crux was that going down did not have any way of resorting to trickery at all. Only by relying on the world power of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, forcefully breaking free of the constraints of the forcefield, could one stabilize their figure from there.


    Everyone also did not think that such a situation would actually occur.


    "This �� Doesn''t this mean that only four or five of us can go down?" Zheng Qi said helplessly.


    Everyone had disappointed looks. Not being able to go down meant that they brushed past the lucky chance this time.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s talking about others. We''re naturally all going down."


    Ling Zikun suddenly came close and asked Ye Yuan, "That �� Elder Ye, you know spatial laws. Are you able to bring people down?"


    His words immediately attracted many people''s attention, scooting over one after another.


    "Elder Ye, bring us down!"


    "Yeah, reaching below, we might be facing the threat of the fiend race. One more person, one more portion of strength!"


    "Elder Ye, we should be united against outsiders now, don''t you say so?"


    ...


    Those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses all looked at Ye Yuan eagerly, afraid that he would refuse.


    But at this time, Gao Yuan suddenly snorted coldly and said, "All so submissive and meek for what? If he dares to not agree, that''s becoming all humans'' common enemy!"

 1620 Not This Price

    The moment these words came out, the scene became quiet.


    But very soon, someone came forward to concur.


    "Yeah! We''re all giving River Eternal Imperial City a helping hand. What right does he have to not bring us down?"


    "We''re fighting for the human race right now. If he doesn''t bring us, that''s rising universal condemnation!"


    "The fiend race is glaring like a ravening tiger, every additional person we have, it''s an additional portion of strength! If he doesn''t bring everybody down because of a little selfish motive, that''s too beneath contempt!"


    ...


    These people suddenly discovered that Gao Yuan fought for an excellent reason for them.


    Hence, they started agreeing one by one.


    At this time, each and every one of them was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they incarnated to become the messengers of justice, seemingly all becoming the heroes of the human race.


    They all believed that under this kind of pressure, forget about Ye Yuan, even Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would also put pressure on Ye Yuan and force him to give in.


    No imperial city dared to shoulder such a crime.


    Sure enough, Zheng Qi''s face changed several times. He opened his mouth, but he did not know how to start talking.


    Rather, there was an elder who could not hold back and said, "Elder Ye, why not �� just bring them along! This �� This isn''t a joke."


    "Yeah, Elder Ye, this crime, our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City can''t bear it!"


    Gao Yuan watched his scene, sneering in his heart to no end.


    Make him come and beg Ye Yuan?


    No chance!


    He was secretly pleased with himself in his heart. I only used a slight trick. At the end, wouldn''t you still have to submit obediently?


    Ye Yuan remained silent the whole time, quietly watching these people perform.


    They all seemed to be here to help River Eternal Imperial City resist the fiend race, but actually, they were all here to fish in muddy waters.


    This point, Ye Yuan was well aware long ago.


    These people were in a state of disunity, they were not as united as the fiend race at all.


    Really encountering the fiend race, they might do something.


    After a while, when the surrounding voices gradually became quieter, only then Ye Yuan took his time to say, "All done posturing?"


    Gao Yuan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Without the protection of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, do you think that you can walk out of here?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Old thing, this little lord, I, am not bringing your people down today. Come bite me if you have the capabilities!"


    Gao Yuan''s face fell and he said, "Kid, you really take it as this old man doesn''t dare to touch you?"


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest fear and said hatefully, "You feel free to come and give it a try!"


    Ling Zikun saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly became a mediator.


    If really fell out, the one suffering a loss would still be them, River Eternal Imperial City.


    "Goodness me, for everybody to be able to come to Fiend Calling Ridge, it''s giving my River Eternal Imperial City face. Brother Gao Yuan, Younger Brother Ye, let''s all simmer down first, alright?" Ling Zikun said.


    Ye Yuan did not care about him either and continued, saying, "Thirdly, this little lord, I, can be persuaded by reason, but not cowed by force! Just now, those who use whatever human race''s righteous cause to come and pressure me, each and every one of you, I''ve remembered it! If you guys want to go down, can. Each person, one billion divine essence stones! Not a single one less! Don''t tell me that you all can''t take it out, and also don''t think about bargaining, this little lord isn''t a three-year-old kid. The rest, I can bring you guys down for free."


    Those people who concurred with Gao Yuan earlier immediately felt as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    The price of one sentence of one billion divine essence stones!


    However, Gao Yuan, Ling Zikun, Zheng Qi, and the likes, were all incomparably shocked in their hearts.


    They were all high-ranking figures who wield authority, they were the most proficient in this kind of stratagem.


    They never expected that Ye Yuan actually resolved all of the previous awkwardness with a beautiful Tai Chi push.


    He threw his temper, and also brought the people away, and even made a big killing.


    This �� was simply mind-blowing!


    Want to go?


    Can, but pay up!


    Actually, the people who concurred with Gao Yuan just now were mostly those middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    Their strengths were inadequate to go down, but they also wanted face, and also wanted to curry favor with Gao Yuan, this half-step Celestial Deity powerhouse. That was why they would say those kinds of words.


    While those slightly weaker initial-stage Divine Lord Realm martial artists mostly did not make a sound.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s strength was weak, he was a true-blue elder.


    With their status, they could not afford to offend at all. They naturally did not dare to speak out.


    At this time, each and every one of them rejoiced greatly. Luckily, they did not throw a rock down the well just now.


    You stepped on me and still wanted to make me bring you down?


    How could Ye Yuan let them do as they wished?


    Not dying, I also have to make you lose a layer of skin!


    Ye Yuan uttering one billion this number, naturally he had a score in his heart.


    These middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, most were some imperial city''s major families'' powerhouses, their status extraordinary. They were naturally much wealthier compared to those itinerant cultivators.


    One billion this sum, they could definitely take it out. But it would absolutely make them lose a layer of skin.


    "Why? Nobody wants to go down? Head Elder Ling, not that I''m not giving face, it''s that they themselves don''t want to go down! Those who didn''t posture earlier, all stand on this side. I''ll bring you all down right away," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment his voice faded, a large group of people rushed over to this side, for fear of falling behind.


    Before long, close to a hundred people stood behind Ye Yuan.


    The ones who spoke up to squeeze Ye Yuan were just the minority after all.


    At this time, they stood in the wind like lone flowers swaying; lonely to the extreme.


    While talking, a burst of spatial laws surged. Ye Yuan was really going to directly bring these people down.


    How could those people still carry on waiting? They immediately loosened up.


    "Elder Ye, one billion, I pay! Just now �� I''ve offended you just now. I''m truly sorry about it."


    A sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse ran over in a hurry and stuffed the storage ring holding divine essence stones into Ye Yuan''s hand.


    Ye Yuan weighed the storage ring and said with a smile, "Mn, everything can be arranged if there''s money. Go to that side then. One billion divine essence stones to buy a lucky chance, you don''t lose out! Huhu."


    That person was akin to being granted amnesty, hurriedly standing behind Ye Yuan.


    With someone taking the lead, how could the others still endure it? All handed divine essence stones onto Ye Yuan''s hands in great haste, afraid of Ye Yuan going back on his words.


    Zheng Qi was long already dumbfounded at Ye Yuan''s side.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan already collected over ten billion divine essence stones!


    This �� This was simply opening a divine essence stone mine!


    Was earning money so easy?


    Different from Zheng Qi, Gao Yuan''s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    "H-Head Elder, what should we do?" Gao Yuan''s subordinates asked weakly.


    Clearly, they were anxious too.


    Gao Yuan''s expression flickered incessantly. Ye Yuan''s move really checkmated him, embarrassing him to the extreme.


    Now, their Utmost Peace Imperial City was already being isolated.


    Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"


    Utmost Peace Imperial City''s powerhouses were akin to being granted amnesty, heading over to Ye Yuan''s side one after another, wanting to pay divine essence stones.


    However, Ye Yuan did not receive it and said coolly to Gao Yuan, "Old Man Gao, if your men want to go down, can as well. But �� it''s not this price!"

 1621 Robbing the Rich and Helping the Poor

    Gao Yuan''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"


    Toward Gao Yuan''s killing intent, Ye Yuan was completely indifferent. He just said coolly, "Old Man Gao, you really think that this little lord has a good temper, right? Originally, it wasn''t so troublesome, but you insisted on fanning fire here, using so-called human race''s righteous cause to come and pressure me. It''s clearly you who covets the precious treasure, but then you insist on feigning a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. Do you really take me to be a three-year-old kid? Trying to repulse me, right? This is the outcome of disgusting me!"


    The scene was silent, everyone all looked at Ye Yuan in amazement.


    To dare speak to a half-step Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse like this, Ye Yuan was probably one of a kind.


    One had to know, even though half-step Celestial Deities were not genuine Celestial Deity powerhouses, once he took this step, that was an existence who looked down upon the world.


    Therefore, that was why those people wanted to suck up to Gao Yuan and squeeze Ye Yuan.


    Gao Yuan''s chest was like a puffing bellow, furious until he puffed heavily.


    His expression was incredibly grim, icy-cold to the extreme as he said in a chilly voice, "Do you really think that I don''t dare to touch you?"


    The aura of a half-step Celestial Deity releasing, the powerful pressure enveloped everyone once again.


    But Ye Yuan was not the least bit afraid and said nonchalantly, "You''re the one who doesn''t dare! So many people are waiting for me to bring them down. If you kill me, you''ll be the human race''s common enemy!"


    Gao Yuan choked when he heard it. The imposing momentum that had just condensed immediately vanished without a trace.


    This punk �� actually completely turned the situation around unknowingly!


    Now, this kid actually used this reason to come and threaten him.


    And he could not seem to find a reason to retaliate!


    Monstrous waves stirred in the heart of the Zheng Qi at one side.


    Ye Yuan this brat, not only was his talent exceedingly terrifying, his means were actually so superb too.


    Originally, a single misstep, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and him would be dragged into the water.


    But in a twinkle, the situation was reversed by Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan reverse-checkmated him. Gao Yuan could only be a mute eating a dose of bitter medicine; suffering humiliation in silence.


    But seeing Gao Yuan slumping, Zheng Qi was really endlessly refreshed in his heart.


    Gao Yuan was livid, he wished to tear Ye Yuan with his hands.


    But what Ye Yuan said was right, he really did not dare!


    Gao Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "State the price then!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Make it a bit cheaper for you, one divine lord mystic treasure for two people!"


    Gao Yuan''s eyes became wide-saucers and he roared, "What did you say? To think that you can say it out! Do you think that divine lord mystic treasures are common wares?"


    Everyone behind Ye Yuan looked at each other speechlessly, full of shock.


    This Elder Ye was really demanding an exorbitant price!


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "You, a half-step Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse, could you not have a few articles of divine lord mystic treasures that you have no use for on you? Using them to exchange for a lucky chance for Utmost Peace Imperial City''s young generation, it''s all too worthwhile. Or is it that you''re selfish until you aren''t willing to contribute to Utmost Peace Imperial City?"


    Gao Yuan was angry until he billowed his beard and glared, but he was powerless to do anything.


    This brat was really sharp-tongued!


    I have divine lord mystic treasures, but why should I give them to you for no reason?


    "Brat, to dare ask for this old man''s things, be careful it stuffs you to bursting and kills you!" Gao Yuan said viciously.


    "Huhu, this little lord''s appetite is ferocious. Don''t need you to worry about it. Hurry up, don''t dawdle. Everyone is waiting to go down!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Gao Yuan was like squeezing out toothpaste, taking out three divine lord mystic treasures, and said in a cold voice, "Brat, eating this old man''s stuff, you''ll ultimately have to spit it out!"


    Ye Yuan received the divine lord mystic treasures, directly threw a sword of Ning Tianping, and said coolly, "You don''t have a divine lord mystic treasure yet, right? This sword will be given to you. Uh, which of you still don''t have divine lord mystic treasures?"


    Ning Tianping as a Martial Tower protector and Ye Yuan''s follower naturally came along too.


    He received the long sword, extremely excited in his heart.


    Even though the Ning Family was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s major family, it was impossible to have a divine lord mystic treasure in everyone''s hands.


    Only Gao Yuan, this kind of old undying fellow, a person who went to no idea how many mystic realms, did how many schemes, could have so many divine lord mystic treasures on him.


    Even though Ning Tianping was already almost third-layered heaven Divine Lord, he really did not have a divine lord mystic treasure in possession.


    Now that he had a divine lord mystic treasure, he was confident that defeating third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses should be nothing difficult.


    Even when encountering fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, he had the power to have a battle too!


    Ning Tianping bowed and said, "Many thanks, Elder Ye!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You followed me, so I''ll have to give you some benefits."


    Very soon, Ye Yuan also distributed the other two divine lord mystic treasures, agitating the people who obtained them badly.


    The Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s side was extremely excited. Because counting according to the number of people, the opposite side had to at least take out two divine lord mystic treasures to be able to bring everyone away.


    Quite a number of people came from Utmost Peace Imperial City this time. Adding them up, there were close to 20 people.


    Counting Gao Yuan, there were four people above seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord. If each of them brought two to three people along, there were still around ten people.


    If they wanted all to go down, they had to use divine lord mystic treasures.


    Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Hui, Zhu Yuncai, each of you take out another divine lord mystic treasure!"


    This Mo Hui and Zhu Yuncai were both eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses. Hearing Gao Yuan''s words at this time, their hearts were dripping blood.


    You caused trouble, now, you want us to wipe your backside for you!


    But facing Gao Yuan, they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak. They could only each take out a divine lord mystic treasure.


    After Ye Yuan got them, he immediately distributed them.


    With this, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s side''s strength increased greatly.


    Zheng Qi said, "Ye Yuan, so many divine lord mystic treasures, why didn''t you keep one for yourself?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Does Head Elder feel that I''m someone who lacks divine lord mystic treasures?"


    "Uh ��" Zheng Qi could not help being stunned when he heard it.


    The current Ye Yuan was just like a nouveau riche, exuding the aura of a tycoon from head to toe.


    These were five divine lord mystic treasures, he gave them away without blinking just like this.


    When Gao Yuan saw this scene, he was even more livid with rage, almost spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    You don''t lack divine lord mystic treasures, then what did you scam me for?!


    Ye Yuan seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said with a smile, "I just feel that a powerhouse like Old Man Gao should sympathize with bottom-level martial artists a little. Either way, he can''t use these things. So why not take them out and let everybody increase their strength. This way, our human race''s collective strength will also rise significantly, don''t you say so? Even though I don''t find Old Man Gao pleasing to the eye, he''s considered to have contributed to the human race with this. If anybody gets a lucky chance, you have to remember that he was good to you."


    "Puhwark!"


    Gao Yuan finally had anger attack his heart, spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    This punk was simply terrible!


    "Goodness, my Head Elder Gao, you have to take it easy. You''re our human race''s heavyweight figure, an existence who might step into Celestial Deity Realm. If something were to happen, what would we do?" Ye Yuan hurriedly said.


    Zheng Qi hearing Ye Yuan''s comical concern, laughed until he could not close his mouth at one side.


    In these several tens of thousands of years, he really had not laughed so happily like today.


    "Alright, it''s getting late, don''t let the fiend race take the initiative. We have to go down. In a while, when I use spatial laws, none of you resist. Otherwise, if you get lost in space, don''t blame me," Ye Yuan said.

 1622 Falling Into Heavy Encirclemen

    Back then, when Ye Yuan went down this bottomless abyss, what he relied on was the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Presently, he no longer needed it.


    With his comprehension of spatial laws, going down was not something hard.


    But even so, their large group of people still went down for a day and night before coming into contact with the bottom.


    "Not good! My �� My realm is being suppressed!"


    "Mine is being suppressed too! I �� Currently I only have first-layered heaven Divine Lord strength!"


    "Do you all notice it? The forcefield here is too strong! There''s no way to fly at all!"


    ...


    Upon landing, everyone''s cry of horror transmitted over.


    Clearly, this situation was completely different from what they imagined.


    Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could not fly, their realms were suppressed. This kind of situation made them too uncomfortable.


    Furthermore, the forcefield here was too strong, making them feel that even breathing was somewhat difficult. They were not used to it.


    Gao Yuan''s expression was very ugly, because his realm was similarly being suppressed. Currently, it was only merely the likes of a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Such a suppression made him a little more worried about the expedition this time.


    However, when his gaze turned to Ye Yuan, his expression became darker.


    Ye Yuan''s realm was actually no different from before. It seemed like there was no suppression force at all.


    This discovery made him extremely displeased.


    Rather, everyone from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had long been mentally prepared because of Ye Yuan''s reminder and did not kick a big fuss like the rest.


    Ye Yuan''s Origin Magnetic Field quietly released, diminishing a large portion of the forcefield below.


    That bit remaining did not affect him too much.


    "Alright. Everybody, don''t panic. This realm suppression isn''t just targeted at us only. The fiend race powerhouses will likewise have their realms suppressed. It''s just that we don''t know what dangers this place has. So everybody best be more careful, and take care not to get separated," Ling Zikun said.


    These people had also experienced grand spectacles before. After experiencing the initial-most panic, they accepted the reality very soon and calmed down.


    Apart from River Eternal Imperial City, there were people from a total of three great imperial cities who came to support them this time. They were respectively Utmost Peace Imperial City, Deersun Imperial City, and Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Among these three great forces, it was clearly Utmost Peace Imperial City''s strength that was the strongest, followed by Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    And Deersun Imperial City only sent an eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord elder over, he was considered the weakest one already.


    This line-up was considered rather impressive already.


    It was just that now, apart from Gao Yuan, this half-step Celestial Deity being suppressed to fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, the other ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses were all suppressed to third-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Middle-stage Divine Lord Realms were all suppressed to second-layered heaven Divine Lord. Initial-stage Divine Lord Realms were all suppressed to first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    This result was clearly unexpected before they came down.


    The group of people advanced in groups. Surrounded by jagged rocks of grotesque shapes, not even a blade of grass growing, light very dim, everyone lit divine fires before they could barely manage to make out the path.


    "We haven''t discovered the fiend race''s traces even until now. Could it be that they couldn''t find a way down?" Ling Zikun suddenly said, his words faintly exuding excitement.


    Gao Yuan''s eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "If it''s like this, then the chances of us getting the lucky chance will greatly increase!"


    Deersun Imperial City eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord, Zuo Qing, said, "I don''t believe that the fiend race also has a powerhouse who understands spatial laws. Those who can come down are probably not many. We have so many people, eradicating them is easily accomplished!"


    But Ye Yuan said, "You guys are thinking too much! A hundred years ago, the fiend race already created flying boats that can suspend above the natural chasm. With the strength with Divine Lord Realm powerhouses and going together with that flying boat, the fiend race powerhouses might have long come down before."


    Ye Yuan''s words were akin to a bucket of cold water splashing on their heads, instantly making them feel a chill.


    "Haha �� it''s still this kid who''s smart!"


    "What''s the use of being smart? Doesn''t he still have to die here?"


    "These humans are really a bunch of fools, to actually still hope that we''re not coming, hahaha ��"


    ...


    At this time, a series of unbridled voices suddenly sounded out all around, making everyone''s faces change drastically.


    The ones who said this could only be the fiend race''s powerhouses.


    Nobody would have thought that they were suddenly surrounded.


    Most importantly, they looked in all directions and could not find traces of fiend race powerhouses at all.


    Only hearing the voices, not seeing the people!


    "Fiend dogs, scram out here for this father of yours! What kind of ability is it to sneak around furtively?"


    "If you have the capabilities, have an open and aboveboard fight! A bunch of cowardly turtles!"


    ...


    The human powerhouses'' roars seemed rather ferocious in appearance but feeble in essence.


    They wanted to goad the fiend race powerhouses out, but how could the fiend race powerhouse do as they wanted?


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, "Don''t shout anymore. We''ve already fallen into the grand array that the fiend race set up. They are not far from us right now, it''s just that you guys can''t see."


    The moment everyone heard, their faces could not help changing.


    These fiend race powerhouses had clearly long laid in ambush, just waiting for them to walk right into the trap!


    A voice dripping with sarcasm said sneeringly, "Heh, this kid has some ability, to actually be able to realize that they have already fallen into an array formation. But it''s no use! This Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation is a peak rank four divine formation. Even if ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords get caught inside, it''s certain death too. Moreover, you all have your realms suppressed currently!"


    Gao Yuan''s expression became incomparably ugly. He did not expect that he had not seen the treasure yet and already got caught in a desperate situation.


    Peak rank four divine formation, if he did not have his realm suppressed, wanting to escape was naturally no problem.


    But now, he was only fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord. How to run away?


    Could it be that he was really going to die first before achieving success in the expedition?


    "You all savor the power of the Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation well! This xiantian mystic treasure will belong to our fiend race!"


    Done talking, clouds of red fog actually appeared out of thin air, surrounding everyone inside.


    The red fog filled the air, it was so dark that you could not see your hand in front of you at all. Everyone already lost traces of their companions.


    "Kill, kill, kill! Kill you, this fiend dog!"


    Suddenly, someone among the humans screamed, chopping over toward a companion beside him with a sword.


    Puchi!


    That person was caught off-guard, his head directly being chopped flying, and already died until he was deader than dead.


    This Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation was able to take effect on the martial artist''s divine soul, making them produce illusions, and kill each other.


    For a moment, the companions that they saw all became fiend race powerhouses,; incomparably sinister.


    These people attacked brutally, betting life-for-life with each other, just like they became mortal enemies.


    A hint of red light flashed across Ye Yuan''s eyes, seemingly seeing through this stretch of red fog.


    Immediately after, his figure moved, disappearing from the people''s line of sight.


    Among the fiend race''s battalion, Heavenstar''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Di En, "Did you feel that that kid just now looked a lot like someone?"


    With a xiantian mystic treasure coming into being this time, Blood Yama Hall and Eminent Orchid Imperial City formed a tacit agreement, sending large groups of powerhouses over.


    Heavenstar and Di En were precisely among them.


    Di En was not familiar with Ye Yuan, but Heavenstar''s impression was Ye Yuan was very deep.


    At this time, Heavenstar finally discovered a hint of something amiss.

 1623 Height of Shamelessness

    Di En said rather puzzledly, "You''re saying?"


    Heavenstar said, "Oh my! Back then, Source Night that punk disguised as a fiend. Wasn''t his appearance very similar to that kid just now?"


    Di En ruminated when he heard that. He suddenly startled awake and said, "If you didn''t say it, I really couldn''t recall! It''s him!"


    It was not that Di En was forgetful, but Ye Yuan in human state and Ye Yuan in fiend race state, his aura and disposition were vastly different.


    Coupled with that Ye Yuan did some modifications in appearance, that was why Di En did not recognize him.


    Now, being reminded by Heavenstar, Di En abruptly realized it.


    Di En said in a clear voice, "Hang on! Let''s go back first!"


    Di En was this group of fiends'' important figure. His words were naturally very effective.


    Another leader, Qiao An, said, "What''s wrong, Di En? Could it be that those humans still have a possibility of escaping from the Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation?"


    Di En said, "If it was just those people, it''s naturally impossible! But there is a very great variable among them!"


    Qiao An was rather surprised as he said, "It''s that kid you guys were talking about earlier? However, just being at the Origin Deity Realm, is he actually so formidable?"


    Heavenstar said with a cold smile, "He toyed with the entire Eminent Orchid Imperial City and Blood Yama Hall in the palm of his hand, and finally, even obtained the precious treasure and withdrew! Do you think he''s formidable or not?"


    Even though they did not know the Purple Extreme Hall''s grade, use one''s butt to think that they would also know that it was definitely a precious treasure.


    Qiao An got a big shock and said, "This brat is that one who made you all suffer a tragic loss the last time?"


    Heavenstar said with a cold smile, "That punk, I''ll still recognize him even if he turns to ashes! This time, I''m going to let him know what''s called despair!"


    ...


    "Get lost for your father!"


    In the red fog, Gao Yuan''s eyes were scarlet-red. He already almost could not hold on anymore.


    This array formation was too powerful. With the strength of his divine soul, he was actually unable to resist it.


    Even though he tried his best to stay awake, his consciousness still became increasingly blurry.


    "Damn it! This old man has roamed unhindered for a lifetime, how can I possibly capsize in a drain?"


    Gao Yuan roared, wanting to rush out of the grand array. But his consciousness became more and more blurry.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, a loud noise transmitted over. Gao Yuan immediately felt his divine soul ease up, recovering clarity.


    "This �� What''s going on here? What did I do just now?"


    "Ahh! Junior Apprentice Brother, who killed you?! I �� I''m going to take revenge for you!"


    "It �� It was Elder Ye who saved us!"


    Not far away, there was a destroyed formation base beside Ye Yuan.


    And the surroundings already had quite a few formation bases destroyed.


    Very clearly, this was all done by Ye Yuan.


    "Many thanks �� Many thanks for Elder Ye''s life-saving grace!"


    "All thanks to Elder Ye. Otherwise, we''d be completely wiped out!"


    "Elder Ye is indeed not ordinary. This old man admires you!"


    ...


    Everyone came over to give thanks to Ye Yuan one by one after another.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would probably have already utterly fallen into enemy hands now.


    It was just that they were extremely surprised in their hearts, why was Ye Yuan not controlled in the slightest inside this grand array?


    This grand array directly took effect on the divine soul, but Ye Yuan''s divine soul had the Soul Suppressing Pearl guarding, how could the grand array corrode it in the least bit?


    And Ye Yuan''s Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had the effect of blasting apart falsehood, making him find these formation bases very quickly.


    As long as the formation bases were destroyed, the grand array would naturally be broken.


    Zheng Qi still had lingering fear in his heart until now. He discovered now that bringing Ye Yuan was really an extremely wise decision.


    Without Ye Yuan, their large group of people would have fallen here.


    "Humph! Not saving us, he''d have to die here too!" Gao Yuan said with a cold snort.


    When Zheng Qi heard that, he said angrily, "You, this old fogey, are really shameless, to actually be able to say this kind of words."


    Gao Yuan said disdainfully, "Am I wrong? Just based on his bit of strength, can he deal with so many fiends? Don''t tell me that he doesn''t want to obtain that treasure!"


    Sure enough, with him saying so, the grateful emotions on everyone''s faces immediately reduced greatly.


    Human nature was selfish. Even though Ye Yuan saving them was a fact, when they realized that ye yuan might snatch away their lucky chance, they became vigilant.


    Gao Yuan was very pleased with himself when he saw the changes on everyone''s faces.


    Just now was just a major setback due to carelessness. As long as he was more careful, he did not fear those fiends in the slightest too.


    Get him to thank Ye Yuan, no chance!


    "Utterly shameless!'' Zheng Qi said furiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder, you don''t need to get angry. A gentleman is open and poised, a villain is calculative and worries about personal gains and losses. Let him be."


    Ye Yuan understood that Gao Yuan this kind of person was a wicked-hearted person.


    His own heart was dark, looking at others was naturally dark too.


    No matter how good you were to him, he would also find a reason to lay out your faults.


    Toward this kind of person, best to stay far away.


    Of course, if there was a chance, Ye Yuan did not mind entrapping him and take revenge for Zheng Qi''s master.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a large group of dark shadows rushed over, and just happened to block this party. They were precisely the fiend race powerhouses who left and returned.


    Di En said in a cold voice, "This kid indeed has some means, even the Soul Devouring Devil Cloud Formation couldn''t trap him! Luckily, we came back in time, otherwise, there would really be no end to future troubles!"


    The expressions of the human powerhouses changed drastically. They had just broken out of the grand array. Right now, their condition was not good, did not expect that the fiend race powerhouses actually left and returned.


    Furthermore, this time, it was their first time seeing the fiend race powerhouses'' lineup, which gave them a big fright.


    The fiend race''s side could be said to have powerhouses plentiful as clouds!


    Just in terms of numbers, it was several dozen more than their side!


    Furthermore, the fiend race''s high-level combat power was also much more compared to the human race''s.


    Just third-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouses, they had over a dozen people.


    This line-up made the human powerhouses feel despair.


    Heavenstar looked at Ye Yuan and said with a sinister smile, "Kid, didn''t expect it, right? That we''d still have a day where we meet again!"


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long seen Heavenstar through the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. Meeting at this time was not too surprising.


    A hint of a smile curled up at the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth and he said, "Looking at your appearance, your resentment is a lot!"


    Heavenstar was triggered by Ye Yuan''s smile and exploded, "What do you think? The precious treasure on your, this old man will definitely take it back today! Additionally, this old man''s Profound Yellow Cauldron and your life, this old man will also accept it!"


    Di En also said coldly, "In this world, there has yet to be anyone who dares to play tricks on our Blood Yama Hall! Source Night brat, you''re very bold!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If you have the capabilities, feel free to come and take!"


    Heavenstar sneered and said, "Kill for me! Leave no one behind!"


    The group of powerhouses was just about to make a move when Gao Yuan suddenly roared, "Hold on!"


    Heavenstar''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Quickly spit out what you have!"


    Gao Yuan''s expression could not help turning stiff, and he endured his anger and said in a solemn voice, "You guys have a grudge with this brat, and this old man also has a grudge with this punk! Everybody came to Fiend Calling Ridge for the treasure that was born. Currently, the path ahead is still uncertain. Everybody should work together. We''ll hand this brat to you guys, then search for the treasure together. As for who gets the treasure, each relies on their own means! What do you all think?"


    Zheng Qi''s expression changed greatly when he heard that and said furiously, "Gao Yuan! You actually want to play jackal to the tiger and sell out your friend for personal gains!"

 1624 Variant Deboning Great Ra

    Heavenstar and Di En exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a hint of cunningness.


    These human powerhouses were indeed a pile of loose sand!


    Heavenstar said, "Huhu, this suggestion is not bad! But, in order to express your sincerity, you all have to take this punk down first."


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces revealed hesitation looks.


    They had also seen through things. Ye Yuan had significant enmity with these fiend race powerhouses.


    If handing over could gloss things over and stay on good terms, everyone going for the treasure together, that would be for the best.


    Zheng Qi immediately blocked in front of Ye Yuan. Unsheathing a long sword, he said in a cold voice, "Whoever dares to touch Ye Yuan, step over from this old man''s corpse! Gao Yuan, even if this old man dies together, I''ll also drag you into the water!"


    Gao Yuan laughed coldly and said, "Then you get buried together with him then! Everyone saw it too. The fiends are overwhelming in numbers and can''t be overcome with force. Everyone, take Ye Yuan down first!"


    Zheng Qi looked towards Ling Zikun and said in a cold voice, "Ling Zikun, what''s the meaning of this? We kindly came to assist you, but you''re going to carry out the hospitality of a host like this?"


    Ling Zikun let out a sigh and said, "Brother Zheng Qi, this kid has already become the target of public censure, why must you be buried together with him? As long as we hand him over, everybody can get along peacefully."


    Ling Zikun''s impression of Ye Yuan was not very good.


    Being egged on by Gao Yuan at this time, plus being compelled by the circumstances, him changing side was also something within reason.


    However, what made Ye Yuan somewhat surprised was that at this time, his disciple, Gu Han, suddenly said, "Master, without Ye Yuan, we couldn''t even get down the natural chasm. Just now, he saved everyone''s lives too! As the host, if we show ingratitude for kindness like this, unless all the people here today die, otherwise, who would still dare to cooperate with our River Eternal Imperial City in the future?"


    Ling Zikun''s expression changed and sure enough, started to somewhat hesitate.


    Gao Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "Junior, it isn''t your turn to speak here! Ling Zikun, coming down here, everyone is just using each other! This kid bringing us down is merely wanting to rely on our strength. There isn''t any ungratefulness or treachery!"


    Ling Zikun was caught in the middle, his face had a difficult look.


    The fiend race powerhouses opposite were immediately dumbstruck with astonishment, all exchanging glances.


    This kind of situation was what they completely did not expect.


    Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly opened his mouth and said, "If I were you all, I''d worry about myself first!"


    Gao Yuan sneered and said, "Punk, you''re trying to scare this old man? This kind of method, this old man has stopped playing more than 100 thousand years ago!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and did not have the intention of explaining.


    But in the next instant, a series of scurrying sounds suddenly came over.


    Everyone''s faces changed. Turning to look, their scalps involuntarily tingled.


    There was a large stretch of darkness all around, with no end in sight. They were already surrounded by a large group of rats!


    These rats were all incomparably huge. Furthermore, the numbers were extremely high.


    These rats'' auras were not very powerful, only having the aura of rank three divine beasts. But such a large number made them feel in despair.


    "Deboning Great Rat! These are Deboning Great Rats! We �� We got caught in a rat tide!" Gao Yuan cried out sharply.


    His voice was too high, resulting in becoming somewhat squeaking. Clearly, he had also fallen into immense terror in his heart.


    Deboning Great Rats were very ferocious savage beasts. Places that they passed through, not a blade of grass lived.


    Encountering living things, they would definitely chomp until not even bone residue remained; hence, the name.


    Those Deboning Great Rats'' eyes emitted rays of red light in the gloomy darkness, giving people a very sinister feeling.


    Everyone felt goosebumps breaking out all over, seemingly smelling the scent of death.


    "It''s over, it''s over! I �� I don''t want to die here!"


    "What to do? Heard that encountering Deboning Great Rats, there''s absolutely no reason to survive!"


    "Why? Why is it that under such a powerful forcefield, there is still Deboning Great Rats, this kind of powerful existence, existing?"


    ...


    The human''s side was panicking and already in a flustered mess.


    One scream of horror after another revealed the despair in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You guys enjoy it well. This little lord won''t accompany you all to play any longer!"


    Finished talking, there was a spatial laws undulation. Ye Yuan brought Zheng Qi and the rest and directly flew into the air.


    When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    Heavenstar and Di En looked at Ye Yuan with incomparable shock and exclaimed, "Spatial laws! He actually really comprehended spatial laws! This brat''s talent is truly too terrifying!"


    Heavenstar knew that Ye Yuan drew parallels from inference, and understood a bit of superficial spatial laws.


    But now, for Ye Yuan to be able to fly in the air under this kind of powerful forcefield, it showed that his spatial laws comprehension was already very remarkable.


    How could this discovery not alarm him?


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was a guy who could trigger Great Dao Heavenly Melody.


    Not only was this kid''s Alchemy Dao heaven-defying, but now, he also stepped onto a very terrifying road in Martial Dao.


    This was not good news to them.


    Gao Yuan revealed a fierce look and said in a solemn voice, "Want to go?! How can it be that easy!"


    Gao Yuan released his aura and was about to smack towards the Ye Yuan and co. in the air.


    But his aura made those Deboning Great Rats thoroughly erupt.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The massive rat tide swallowed the people up frenziedly.


    Gao Yuan had yet to have time to launch the attack and was already utterly engulfed by the frenzied rat tide.


    At his prime, he naturally came and went freely in this rat tide.


    But now, his realm was heavily suppressed, his strength greatly discounted.


    Facing these powerful Deboning Great Rats, he also felt rather taxed.


    The claws of Deboning Great Rats were extremely sharp. Furthermore, their skin and fur were extremely tough.


    Even if one came out alone, challenging an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse by itself was no problem at all, let alone such a terrifying number.


    "Charge out in one go! If we get trapped here, there''s only death!" Gao Yuan roared wildly.


    The current Gao Yuan crisscrossed with sword energy, holding it in and rushed inside with a burst of power.


    His strength was powerful, the others immediately followed behind him without prior agreement, breaking through towards inside.


    The fiend race powerhouses also could not care about opposing the humans at this time, all sparing no effort to fight with the Deboning Great Rats.


    But very soon, they discovered something amiss.


    These Deboning Great Rats were not ordinary Deboning Great Rats at all!


    These Deboning Great Rats'' bodies carried a strange forcefield. Furthermore, they could even respond and cooperate with each other across a great distance, making those martial artists'' footsteps become heavy.


    "These are all variants of Deboning Great Rats! It''s over, with this, it''s thoroughly over!" Someone exclaimed.


    Puchi!


    A sharp claw directly tore that martial artist''s throat.


    Then, a large group of huge rats rushed up. He no longer made a sound.


    Below was bathed in blood, but Ye Yuan and the others flew in the air very leisurely.


    The more Zheng Qi looked below, the more struck with horror he became.


    This rat tide simply had no end in sight.


    In this long while that they flew, they actually had not seen the edge yet!

 1625 Combat Strength That Astonished the World!

    Splash!


    As soon as they landed, Gu Han directly knelt down and kowtowed toward Ye Yuan.


    "Elder Ye, I beg you, save Master!" Gu Han said with red eyes.


    When they came out earlier, Ye Yuan also brought Gu Han along conveniently.


    Being able to say those words at that time showed that this kid''s nature was not bad. It was just that he was too arrogant and willful in the past, that was why he would argue a point to death.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Your River Eternal Imperial City engages in close combat with fiend race territories and should be the most hostile. But when Ling Zikun encountered the fiend race, he actually still wanted to pretend to be polite and compliant. This kind of person, why should I save him?"


    Not that Ye Yuan had a heart of stone, but that he really had enough of these people''s shamelessness.


    Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "Master has shown great kindness to me. I can''t watch him die here unfeelingly! Elder Ye �� If Elder Ye doesn''t save him, I''ll rush back!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You go back then. I only saved you conveniently. If you seek death yourself, can I still stop you?"


    Gu Han''s blood surged, suddenly standing up, and rushed over to that side.


    But he had not walked a few steps when countless dark-red eyes swept over toward him.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    A large group of Deboning Great Rats rushed over toward him!


    Gu Han seemed to have been splashed by a basin of cold water, his entire body feeling penetratingly cold.


    At the same time, a powerful force field instantly enveloped him, making him unable to move a muscle.


    Origin Deity Realms were simply too weak here.


    Plop!


    Gu Han took a few steps back in fright but was stumbled by a rock.


    "H-Help!"


    A figure flashed, a sharp edge appeared!


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    With a single sword move, those variant Deboning Great Rats were directly cut into two!


    Ye Yuan stood with a sword, his back turned to Gu Han as he said coolly, "Still want to go back?"


    Gu Han''s head shook like a rattling drum, frightened until he kept trembling.


    Only at this time did he truly realize how great the gap between him and Ye Yuan was.


    When he encountered these fierce beasts, he did not even have the courage to attack.


    But Ye Yuan killed them as easy as taking something out of his pocket!


    Him going back was no different from courting death.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    More and more variant Deboning Great Rats were drawn by this side, rushing over to this side.


    Ye Yuan''s sword moved agilely, like a harvester, willfully reaping these Deboning Great Rats'' lives. There was no enemy who could last one exchange at all.


    Not just Gu Han, it was also Zheng Qi and Heavenly Eagle''s people''s first time seeing Ye Yuan make a move. They were similarly incomparably shocked in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan avoided Gu Han''s attacks with spatial laws and did not really make a move.


    But now, they finally knew how powerful Ye Yuan was!


    If Ye Yuan made a move back then, Gu Han probably could not even receive one move and would be insta-killed!


    "Turns out that Elder Ye wasn''t powerful in spatial laws. His truly formidable aspect is on fusion of laws!"


    "To be able to fuse Sword Dao laws and spatial laws to this extent, Elder Ye is truly a genius among geniuses! This is even harder than solely comprehending spatial laws!"


    "Very clearly, Elder Ye still has plenty more in his sack! Really don''t know how powerful his strength will be if he goes all out!"


    ...


    Originally, when everyone saw Ye Yuan make a move, they still had the intention of going forward to help.


    But looking at it now, they did not need to take action at all.


    Those Deboning Great Rats could not approach him at all!


    These variant Deboning Great Rats were existences that even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were very fearful of. Ye Yuan was actually like in his own backyard.


    In a blink, Ye Yuan slew hundreds of Deboning Great Rats, but he was still calm and composed, unable to see the slightest hint of disorderly aura.


    Suddenly, an enormous Deboning Great Rat dashed out of the huge rat swarm, turning into a stream of flowing light and charged straight for Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan, careful! This is a rank four fierce beast!" Zheng Qi cried out.


    Finished talking, he was about to make a move to go help Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "None of you move! What I was waiting for was it!"


    Everyone exchanged glances, eyes full of disbelief.


    Facing a rank four Deboning Great Rat, Ye Yuan did not retreat, but advanced instead, raising his sword and rushing over toward it.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s aura skyrocketed, sword energy wispy and ethereal, shuttling back and forth in space.


    Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao laws had long broken through to fourth-layered heaven in the spatial inheritance!


    Fourth-layered heaven Sword Dao laws fused with second-layered heaven spatial laws, this was unprecedented.


    Its power had now reached the time to test it out!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan''s sword energy intersected with the Deboning Great Rat''s sharp claws in midair. Spiritual energy fluctuated, blasting those Deboning Great Rats flying out.


    When Heavenly Eagle''s people saw this scene, each and every one of them was utterly stunned.


    "I �� What did I see? An Origin Deity Realm martial artist actually fought to a draw with a rank four fierce beast?"


    "No, wait, my eyes must be blurry! Rank four versus rank three is invincible, how can someone possibly break this curse?"


    "There''s actually such a freak in this world! So monstrous! Elder Ye is simply not human!"


    "Elder Ye is truly quiet when not making a move, the moment he makes his move, it''s earth-shattering and heaven-battering!"


    ...


    Rank four fierce beasts also evolved a small world within their bodies and were similarly able to use world power.


    And Ye Yuan actually fought to a draw with it!


    This kind of combat strength was simply inconceivable, shocking everyone''s jaws off.


    When Ye Yuan was at Grotto Profound Deity Realm, he had also once jumped realms and defeated a Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouse before.


    But that significance was completely extraordinary compared to now.


    To the vast majority of the people, this kind of battle across major realms was impossible.


    But there was a small minority of geniuses who could still rely on powerful law comprehensions to jump realms and defeat their opponents.


    When Ye Yuan was in the small world, those martial artists'' experience and knowledge naturally could not compare to the Heavenspan World''s martial artists.


    But even in the Heavenspan World, Origin Deity Realm martial artist not being able to defeat Divine Lord Realms was also an iron law!


    There had never been anybody who could break this iron law!


    From rank three to rank four, that was a qualitative metamorphosis.


    Once martial artists possessed world power, that was truly possessing the qualifications to rule over a region because he could insta-kill all existences below his realm!


    Therefore, the intensity of the astonishment in the hearts of Heavenly Eagle''s people could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan wielded the Junyi Sword, his entire person seemingly turning into a god of war. Each sword came and went like a shadow, drifting from place to place.


    The Misty Sword Art at this time was truly being performed by Ye Yuan to the peak!


    Even rank four fierce beasts could only eat dust under Ye Yuan''s sword too!


    Zheng Qi''s eyes became wide-saucers, his mouth opened for a long time and could not close.


    Now, even he was somewhat doubting how in the world Heavenly Eagle Imperial City found such a freak.


    "I thought that I already had a clear understanding of Ye Yuan''s strength. But only now do I know that my understanding of him was merely the tip of the iceberg! This kid, giving us any surprises after this isn''t gonna be surprising!" Zheng Qi said with a bitter smile.

 1626 Kill

    One man and one beast, they fought intensely in the wilderness.


    Facing the Deboning Great Rat''s world power, Ye Yuan did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest.


    His thick and profound sword energy actually faintly had signs of breaking through the space.


    Everyone''s shock could not be any greater, but Ye Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.


    Him coming out this time, treasure hunting was just on the way. His real objective was still searching for the turning point of breakthrough.


    These Deboning Great Rats'' appearance just nicely gave him the chance to hone himself.


    Having a life-and-death battle with these powerful fierce beasts might be able to trigger his inspiration, and comprehend the fourth level cultivation method.


    But now, he threw a stone to find the path, but in the end, the stone fell into the sea.


    Unleashing the Misty Sword Art with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon was indeed able to make him a match for rank four powerhouses.


    But he still could not find where the problem was.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have lost his bearings in the vast ocean.


    Seemed strong, but actually, his future was bleak.


    If he could not find the direction forward, then the strongest opponent that he could face in the future was also just first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    "Misty Sword Art, Space Rift Condensed Edge!"


    Ye Yuan gave a light cry, powerful fused laws were akin to an ice-breaking tip, instantly gouging through the world power of the rank four Deboning Great Rat, pinning it firmly onto the ground.


    This Space Rift Condensed Edge move was the amalgamated strongest attack of Ye Yuan''s Sword Dao and spatial laws, and also Ye Yuan''s current strongest trump card.


    He fused spatial laws into his sword art. Within the sword energy was adulterated with powerful spatial rift force. It could be said to be a full display of his ability.


    Coupled with the attack augmentation of the Junyi Sword, this divine lord mystic treasure, that was why Ye Yuan could penetrate the defenses of a rank four fierce beast.


    That rank four Deboning Great Rat laid on the ground, convulsing non-stop. It was apparent that it could not survive.


    When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    The sharp edge of that sword actually made them feel their hearts somewhat palpitate.


    Especially first-layered heaven Divine Lord martial artists, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan currently actually became somewhat fearful.


    An Origin Deity Realm martial artist actually killed a rank four fierce beast. This was simply inconceivable.


    One had to know, when they faced a rank four fierce beast, they also did not dare say that they could definitely win!


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan similarly had the ability to kill them!


    "Elder Ye is so �� so strong!"


    "Origin Deity slaying Divine Lord, it''s simply unheard of!"


    "Turns out that Origin Deity Realms can actually be powerful to such an extent!"


    "Spatial laws is indeed a supreme law, to actually have such power! If I can comprehend a trace of superficial knowledge, it would be good!"


    ...


    Those deacons and protectors all marveled with amazement, being deeply astounded by Ye Yuan.


    Zheng Qi''s gaze flickered and he slowly said, "For Ye Yuan to be able to kill a rank four fierce beast, what he relied on wasn''t just spatial laws! His cultivation method is incomparably profound. That''s why it could support that kind of martial technique! I feel that Ye Yuan''s truly formidable aspect is still the cultivation method that he cultivates!"


    When everyone heard that, they could not help getting a shock.


    What kind of cultivation method inheritance could let an Origin Deity Realm defeat a rank four fierce beast?


    This cultivation method was a little too perverse, right?


    Zheng Qi''s eyes were like torches. Seeing the hint of disappointment on Ye Yuan''s face, he could not help being secretly surprised in his heart.


    Combat strength so overwhelming, could it be that this kid was still not satisfied?


    This kind of disappointment was not deliberately displayed.


    Ye Yuan clearly wanted to hide this kind of dejection but was perceived by Zheng Qi.


    What in the world was this boy pursuing?


    Gu Han had long forgotten about the matter of saving his master to the ninth sphere of the heavens.


    He was shocked by Ye Yuan''s might until he was a mass of bruises.


    Ye Yuan''s return could not avoid being clustered around by everyone. He just smiled, appearing somewhat forced.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Suddenly, a series of explosions came from amidst the beast horde, blasting those Deboning Great Rats all over the sky.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    A series of figures suddenly charged out from the encirclement of the beasts.


    The person in the lead was precisely Gao Yuan!


    Currently, he was bathed in blood, clearly having suffered considerable injuries.


    These Deboning Great Rats were nothing to Ye Yuan, but they were very fatal to others.


    Furthermore, these variant Deboning Great Rats even had a strange forcefield, catching people off-guard.


    "Master!"


    When Gu Han saw Ling Zikun rushing out of the heavy encirclement, he could not help being overjoyed, and hurriedly sprinted over to support him.


    When Gao Yuan saw Ye Yuan, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot from anger, his face contorted, wishing to devour him whole.


    However, he just roared loudly, "Quickly go! There''s a middle-stage rank four rat king chasing after behind!"


    Zheng Qi''s expression could not help changing when he heard that and he said in a solemn voice, "Everybody, quickly go!"


    A large group of people took off madly, unleashing even their strength to suckle at the teat.


    Suddenly, they discovered that there was no more sound behind them, that was why they stopped.


    A series of great battles, plus this while of mad sprinting, the group was already dead tired.


    Originally, the two races, their teams had mighty contingents of several hundred people. At this time, it was already less than half.


    Clearly, there were quite a number of people who fell in the Deboning Great Rat swarm. Even their bones probably could not be found anymore.


    With this halting, the gazes of Heavenstar, Di En, Gao Yuan, and the rest, all landed on Ye Yuan.


    They were naturally not some well-intentioned looks. Those were looks that wanted to flay Ye Yuan alive and swallow him whole.


    These people pulled out even their coffin money in order to escape. It could be said to be heavy losses.


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, not even a trace of dirt could be found from head to tie!


    This strong contrast made them feel very unbalanced in their hearts.


    "Gao Yuan, our fiend race agrees to form an alliance with you! Our current target is this punk!" Heavenstar said in a solemn voice.


    When Gao Yuan heard that, a hint of a hideous smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, "Okay! Ling Zikun, how about you? This kid deliberately saved your disciple, but left you there! You wouldn''t want to defend him still, right?"


    Ling Zikun revealed a conflicted look. Glancing at Gu Han, he suddenly said, "Forget it, Ye Yuan save my pupil, it''s equivalent to saving this old man! This time, this old man is standing on his side!"


    Ling Zikun was somewhat regretting it now. If he also stood on Ye Yuan''s side firmly before, their River Eternal Imperial City also would not have suffered grievous losses.


    Since Ye Yuan brought Gu Han out, he would definitely also bring them out.


    Gu Han was the disciple that he valued the most, he poured in a great deal of painstaking effort.


    If not for Ye Yuan, if Gu Han fell into the Deboning Great Rats'' encirclement, he would definitely die without a burial ground.


    Therefore, now, he wanted to stand on Ye Yuan''s side.


    Gao Yuan''s expression was livid, not expecting that it was actually this outcome.


    "Humph! Ling Zikun, since that''s the case, then let''s each go our own way now! You''ll take the open road and I''ll walk my single log bridge! This battle likely can''t be avoided anymore!" Gao Yuan threatened.


    Ling Zikun drew a deep breath and said, "Fight then! Gu Han, you retreat to one side."


    Zheng Qi looked at Gao Yuan and said in a cold voice, "Gao Yuan, you despicable villain! To actually want to collude with a different race to slaughter your own compatriots! Today, let''s settle old scores and new together!"


    Done talking, Zheng Qi held his sword out and stepped forward, charging over toward Gao Yuan.

 1627 One Against Five

    If it was a normal circumstance, Zheng Qi was naturally not Gao Yuan''s match.


    But Gao Yuan was currently wounded. It was not a minor injury, so his strength greatly diminished. Meanwhile, Zheng Qi had the strength to fight.


    Zheng Qi attacked with fury, each move not without targeting vital parts of the body.


    Gao Yuan was not Zheng Qi''s match at this time at all, being repeatedly forced back.


    When Heavenstar saw the situation, he said with a stern cry, "Kill Ye Yuan for me!"


    How could the two forces still hold back, battling into groups one after another?


    Even though the fiend race plus Utmost Peace Imperial City, they had the advantage in numbers, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City won in that they virtually did not have any expenditure.


    At peak state currently, dealing with those remnant soldiers and generals was naturally nothing difficult.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s dozen over people plus River Eternal Imperial City''s large numbers, both sides actually fought until they were evenly-matched.


    However, in the end, Ye Yuan''s side was still lacking in numbers, missing five first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses.


    These five people surrounded Ye Yuan in the center, using gazes like looking at a dead person to look at Ye Yuan.


    The person in the lead said in a solemn voice, "Source Night, during last time, there was the Blood Yama Hall protecting you. So this fiend lord couldn''t do anything to you. But today, you must die!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and he asked confusedly, "Do we know each other?"


    That person said in a cold voice, "You don''t know me, but you killed the prince that I''m most proud of! Today, this score, we should settle it!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization.


    It turned out that this guy was Ka Xin''s father, Capone Capital City''s city lord, Ka Long!


    "Huhu, my life is right here, take it away if you have the ability," Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Right now, Gao Yuan and Heavenstar fought two on one, before barely managing to be roughly on par with Zheng Qi.


    Gao Yuan glimpsed at this side and was immediately overjoyed.


    Five first-layered heaven Divine Lords dealing with an Origin Deity Realm, even if he comprehended spatial laws, it was certain death too!


    Gao Yuan laughed loudly as he said, "Haha, that cocky brat is about to die right away. Aren''t you going to save him? Oh, right, you can''t go, hahaha ��"


    Zheng Qi sneered and said, "Ye Yuan doesn''t need me to go and save at all!"


    Gao Yuan chortled and said, "Hahaha, don''t need you to go save? Then who''s saving him? Heaven? Hahaha ��"


    Zheng Qi smiled coldly and said, "You''d best take care of yourself first!"


    Even though the numbers were a bit much, Zheng Qi felt that the numbers were not a problem at all.


    Gao Yuan''s punch seemed to have landed on cotton every single time. It was very depressing for him.


    "Brat, this fiend lord is here to take your life!"


    Ka Long laughed savagely. Lifting his hand, it was a punch, slamming over toward Ye Yuan.


    This punch encompassed world power, the power extremely formidable.


    Ordinary Origin Deity Realm martial artists were absolutely out of luck under this punch.


    But sadly, Ye Yuan was not an ordinary Origin Deity Realm martial artist.


    Ye Yuan''s spatial laws unfolded, easily avoiding this punch.


    The other four people knew that Ye Yuan knew spatial laws. They immediately blocked all of Ye Yuan''s paths of retreat, and they rushed over toward him.


    With five great first-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, violent world power reverberated in this region of space.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of running away at all.


    The moment Junyi Sword came out, sword energy crisscrossed!


    Rumble!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s aura skyrocketed. One of the four people was caught off-guard and was directly sent flying out by Ye Yuan.


    Ka Long and the other three people only felt their chrysanthemum[1] clench, being stunned by the scene before their eyes.


    What did they see?


    An Origin Deity Realm martial artist sent a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse flying with one sword?


    This joke was not funny at all!


    However, Ye Yuan did not give them time to be shocked. A sword arrived again, rushing over toward Ka Long.


    A powerful sword energy pounced from head-on. Ka Long''s expression changed wildly, instantly bucking up 120% to deal with it.


    Rumble!


    The collision of world power and sword energy, evenly-matched!


    Ka Long''s heart shook violently and he roared, "Everybody, don''t underestimate the enemy! This kid �� This kid has the strength to kill first-layered heaven Fiend Lord!"


    This roar of his transmitted into everyone''s ears.


    Apart from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and Gu Han, the others were all shocked.


    Zheng Qi smiled coldly and said, "Saw that? Ye Yuan doesn''t need heaven to save him. He can save himself!"


    Gao Yuan''s eyeballs nearly popped out. The shock in his heart could not be any greater.


    How can an Origin Deity Realm defeat a first-layered heaven Divine Lord?


    Hang on!


    That fiend race Fiend Lord powerhouse said that Ye Yuan had the strength to kill a first-layered heaven Fiend Lord, and not to defeat one!


    Gao Yuan keenly captured the intricacies in Ka Long''s words and was even more incomparably shocked in his heart.


    "Kill him! Five of you rank four powerhouses, could it be that you can''t even take care of an Origin Deity Realm?" Gao Yuan roared madly.


    Ka Long''s face fell, very unhappy with Gao Yuan''s words.


    A human actually dared to tell him what to do.


    But now was clearly not the time to haggle over this. The most important thing right now was still killing Ye Yuan!


    "Everybody, be more careful, and play it safe! Don''t give him any chance to take advantage of the situation!" Ka Long was also very experienced, immediately communicating with the other four people, changing the battle tactic.


    The five people surrounded Ye Yuan and no longer advanced rashly like before, but planned on having a protracted battle with Ye Yuan.


    But how could Ye Yuan be led by the nose by them?


    His figure drifted from place to place, suddenly left and right, forcing the five people to teeter on their feet.


    Ye Yuan''s Misty Sword Art made a showy display of its ability, but each move''s trajectory could not be predicted, causing a tremendous problem to the five.


    Fortunately, the five people were all veteran rank four powerhouses. There were even two who were suppressed at the third-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm, barely managing to persist in battle.


    Ye Yuan fought one versus five and actually faintly took the upper-hand.


    Gao Yuan, Heavenstar, Di En, and the rest, they were all incredibly shocked in their hearts. They completely did not expect that the battle would develop into the current situation.


    According to their plans, as long as they killed Ye Yuan, this battle could also end. Everyone could search for treasures in peace.


    But now, both parties were actually deadlocked!


    Puchi!


    Suddenly, blood splattered!


    A moment of carelessness, that Divine Lord Realm martial artist who was severely wounded by Ye Yuan previously was actually stabbed right through by Ye Yuan with a sword move. It was obvious that he was dead due to the move just now.


    When Ka Long and the rest saw this scene, their scalps could not help tingling.


    With five against one, not only were they not able to suppress an Origin Deity Realm martial artist, the other party killed a person instead!


    This result was simply fantastical.


    When Gao Yuan and the rest saw this scene, their hearts shook violently too.


    They all realized that Ye Yuan was not just a supporting cast among their party, but had a standing that belonged to himself.


    Under the situation where realms were suppressed, Ye Yuan could go one-on-five. This combat strength was sufficient to let him have a certain right to speak!


    Bang!


    Gao Yuan shook off Zheng Qi and said in a cold voice, "Stop! All don''t fight anymore!"


    Heavenstar and Di En also stopped the fiend race powerhouses. This fierce fighting finally stopped.


    Zheng Qi smiled coldly and said, "You want to fight and we fight, you want to stop and we stop, who do you think we are?"


    Gao Yuan''s face fell and he said, "We already have heavy casualties! Keep on fighting, nobody can think about getting the treasure! This old man admits that I''ve underestimated this boy! Now, everyone, abandon your prejudices. Wait until we find the treasure, it''s not late for everybody to fight it out again!"


    [1] Anus/Butthole

 1628 Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise

    Gao Yuan''s words made everyone fall silent.


    Compared to killing Ye Yuan, finding the lucky chance was clearly the most important thing.


    The reason why they had the thought of killing Ye Yuan was that they felt that Ye Yuan''s strength was weak, easy to bully.


    Who could have thought that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so formidable, taking on five great Divine Lord powerhouses alone, and actually even killed one?


    This kind of strength, who still dared to overlook his existence?


    One had to know, these few big shots were not some half-step Celestial Deities or ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords. They were just third-layered heaven or fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords.


    Even if they were much stronger than ordinary third and fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords, they also did not dare to overlook an existence like Ye Yuan.


    Continuing killing at this rate, apart from both sides sustaining heavy losses, there was no second path to take.


    Zheng Qi snorted coldly and said, "Old ignorant thing, you colluded with the fiend race to deal with your compatriots! When everybody gets out of here, I''ll see how you give an account to the people of the world!"


    But Gao Yuan was indifferent as he said coolly, "That will also have to have you be able to go out of here before talking!"


    Ling Zikun naturally did not wish to fight to the bitter end too and stepped forward at this time and said, "Since that''s the case, then we''ll cease for the time being. Everyone, search for the treasure together! Ye Yuan, do you have any objections?"


    Finished talking, he looked at Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s opinion currently occupied a lot of weight.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I have no objections."


    When everyone saw that Ye Yuan was like so, they all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    They came here in order to search for lucky chances and not to risk their lives.


    If they did not even see what the treasure looks like, then this life was also lost too worthlessly.


    Heavenstar said, "Since that''s the case, everybody, continue ahead!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If I were you guys, I''d nurse my injuries before advancing."


    Heavenstar snorted coldly and said, "Brat, why should I listen to you?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you leave. I don''t wish to court death."


    Di En held Heavenstar and asked Ye Yuan, "Right now, all of us are ants on the same rope. Any ideas you have, why not say it out?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You''re the ant! Your whole family members are ants! Who''s on the same rope as you? Don''t think that this little lord doesn''t know what you all are planning. Want to scheme against this little lord, no chance!"


    It was naturally impossible for them to let Ye Yuan go just like that. As long as there was a chance, they would still finish off Ye Yuan.


    It was merely that the most important thing among everything right now was still searching for the treasure, that was how the two races reached a delicate balance.


    "Just now, those Deboning Great Rats chased and chased and disappeared. It''s not that they couldn''t catch up, it''s definitely because there''s an even more powerful existence here! In reality, we might have already entered another powerful existence''s territory!" Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s face change.


    They ran desperately for their lives just now and did not pay attention to this at all.


    Now, with Ye Yuan reminding, they abruptly startled awake.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    His voice had yet to fade when a series of heaven-shaking footsteps came over. An enormous tortoise appeared in front of everyone.


    When everyone saw this tortoise, their faces immediately became ugly.


    This tortoise''s aura was extremely powerful. It actually looked like late-stage rank four.


    If everyone''s strength was not suppressed, they could still deal with it.


    But right now, the strongest was also merely Gao Yuan, this fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Furthermore, he was still injured and could not unleash much strength at all.


    "Roar!"


    An earth-shaking roar came over, shocking the surrounding rocks until it fell.


    Gao Yuan''s expression changed suddenly as he said, "Damn it, why would there be such a powerful fierce beast in this abyss!"


    Heavenstar''s face fell and he said, "The stronger the fierce beast guarding the treasure sure, the more valuable the treasure is! Even though this large tortoise is powerful, its reaction is slow. We''ll use speed to shake it off!"


    Everyone''s eyes lit up when they heard it, but saw that Gao Yuan already turned into a stream of flowing light, attempting to circle around the large tortoise!


    "Go!" Heavenstar roared and immediately followed after.


    At this time, everyone used their means, urging their speed to the limits, attempting to bypass the large tortoise.


    Zheng Qi was just about to move, but saw that Ye Yuan did not budge an inch, and could not help saying puzzledly, "Ye Yuan, the treasure shouldn''t be far away. If we still don''t go, it''s going to be snatched by them!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No rush, this Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise isn''t that easy to deal with."


    Zheng Qi''s gaze turned intent, looking over with a sidelong glance again.


    He saw that Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise suddenly opened its mouth. Rays of massive light balls instantly spewed out.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    These light balls were like cannonballs, flying around, blasting until the rocks on both sides fell one after another.


    This abyss forcefield was extremely powerful. The rocks fell, its power extraordinary.


    "ARGH!!"


    A fiend race powerhouse was struck by a large piece of rock, uttering a scream, and directly fell silent. Even his fiend soul did not escape too.


    For some time, rocks flew everywhere, sparks flying in all directions.


    When the Black Tortoise raged, blood flowed like rivers[1]!


    In a blink, these Divine Lord Realm powerhouses'' casualties became more than half again.


    Gao Yuan and the other powerhouses just ran halfway but retreated at an even faster speed, their expressions being incomparably ugly.


    This was really one man guarding the pass, ten thousand were unable to get through.


    "What the hell is this? How can it be so strong?" Gao Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    "Don''t know, I''ve never seen before either!" Heavenstar said with an ugly expression.


    "No wonder those Deboning Great Rats didn''t dare to chase after us! It turns out that there''s such a terrifying existence here! Even when we''re at our prime, we''re probably not this large tortoise''s match too!" Di En said in a solemn.


    "Damn it, the treasure is about to come into our hands. Could it be that we have to turn tail and go back here?" Qiao An''s expression was also ugly as he said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoises are extremely rare and prefer to live in places with strong magnetic fields the most. The origin magnetic field here is what Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoises like the most. It can make use of the origin magnetic field and spiritual energy here to create powerful spiritual energy cannons. Old Man Gao, even at your prime, you''re likely not his match in this place too."


    Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Turns out that you''ve long known about this damn thing! So that''s why you kept quiet and waited! You want to let us be cannon fodders!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "So what if yes? I wish that you get sprayed to death by it! Have I �� concealed it before?"


    "You!" Gao Yuan choked when he heard that, nearly stifling out internal injuries.


    "Humph! This old man can''t get through, could it be that you can still get through? With such a powerful thing, you and I can forget about getting the treasure!" Gao Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You''re thinking too much! You think that if you go over, you can get the treasure?"


    Gao Yuan''s face changed and he said, "What do you mean?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are you really dumb? Or pretending to be really dumb? Able to nurture such a powerful fierce beast, how can the treasure born here possibly just be a xiantian divine lord mystic treasure? Do you feel that such a treasure can be obtained by you, a measly half-step celestial deity?"


    When everyone heard that, their faces could not help changing greatly.


    Right then, a stream of spiritual energy condensed and formed into an enormous sword, as if coming from beyond the horizon, flying straight for the Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise!


    Rumble!


    The Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise''s massive body was directly chopped and scattered all over the place.


    [1] Black Tortoise is one of the four symbol beasts in Chinese mythology, along with Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger.

 1629 Killing People at a Word of Disagreemen

    "Roar, roar!"


    Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise was smashed flying and immediately fell into a berserk state.


    A figure leaped and arrived, standing with his hands behind his back, with the air of a grandmaster.


    When everyone saw this figure, they all turned pale with fright.


    A half-step Celestial Deity!


    Under the situation where realm was suppressed and still have half-step Celestial Deity''s boundary, plus being able to withstand the powerful forcefield and fly in the air, what was it if not a Celestial Deity powerhouse?


    "Second Grand Elder!"


    "Song Yu!"


    Ling Zikun and Gao Yuan virtually shouted in unison.


    It was just that Ling Zikun had a happy look while Gao Yuan''s expression was very ugly.


    This Song Yu and Gao Yuan were roughly powerhouses of the same generation, so Gao Yuan recognized at a glance.


    It was just that Song Yu''s talent was greater than Gao Yuan''s and already broke through to Celestial Deity Realm several tens of thousands of years ago.


    His appearance made Gao Yuan have an impulse to swear.


    Hearing Ling Zikun''s yell, everyone''s faces could not help becoming ugly.


    "Song Yu, what''s the meaning of your River Eternal Imperial City? Since there''s a Celestial Deity powerhouse acting personally, still finding us to be cannon fodders?" Gao Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    This time, apart from River Eternal Imperial City, the other people''s faces all revealed indignant expressions.


    Clearly, Gao Yuan''s words hit the bottom of their hearts. This feeling of being exploited made them very displeased.


    That Second Grand Elder Song Yu maintained very well, looking just like a middle-aged person.


    He gave Gao Yuan a glance and said coolly, "Gao Yuan, you don''t make wild accusations! Divine Lord Realm has Divine Lord Realm rules, Celestial Deity Realm also has Celestial Deity Realm rules. Getting you guys over is firstly, to render assistance. Secondly, it''s to gift you all a lucky chance. If you all can obtain the lucky chance, this seat naturally won''t intervene. But now, do you feel that you still have hope? This lucky chance is already not what you all can have a finger in."


    Not just Gao Yuan, the expressions on the other people''s faces became ugly.


    What Song Yu said was right. With this Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise blocking the path, they did not have hopes of passing through at all.


    Forcefully rushing through was no different from courting death.


    Song Yu continued, "Gao Yuan, you wouldn''t naively think that I''m the only celestial deity here, right?"


    Gao Yuan''s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of despair.


    Actually, when he saw this Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise, Gao Yuan already knew that this lucky chance was not what he could have a share in.


    The other people''s thoughts were similar to his. It was just that reality was very cruel.


    Done talking, Song Yu said in a clear voice, "Already came, come on out. Don''t need this seat to personally invite you all to reveal yourselves, right?"


    The surroundings were still silent, no one responded to Song Yu''s words.


    Song Yu gave a cold snort and casually fired out two rays of sword light.


    Whoosh!


    The sword lights tore through the air, directly shattering the rock walls into smithereens.


    A sinister-looking fiend race powerhouse stepped out of the air and said in a cold voice, "Heh, Song Yu brat, you dare to make a move against this old man, are you tired of living?"


    When Qiao An saw this fiend powerhouse, he could not help being greatly roused as he said, "Lord Ka Suo!


    By the side, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold, staring fixedly at that fiend race powerhouse.


    This guy was the main culprit who instigated Kanuo to invade the Immortal Grove Region!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect to actually meet him here.


    It was just too bad, his current strength was not sufficient to kill the other party at all.


    "Humph! You, this old fellow, lived to a ripe old age and is also merely first-layered heaven Celestial Deity, what are you being cocky for?" Song Yu said with a cold snort.


    Ka Suo sneered and said, "Brat, old ginger is spicier than young ones! You enjoyed success since young. But a moment of carelessness and you''ll suffer a big loss!"


    Song Yu said coolly, "Enough crap, let''s showcase our true abilities! Lei Yi, what do you say?"


    At this time, another person stepped out of the void. It was precisely the other direction of Song Yu''s sword finger.


    This person was a human powerhouse, his face seemed quite aged. He was shockingly a half-step Celestial Deity powerhouse too.


    Lei Yi gave Song Yu a glance and said coolly, "I''m only here for the xiantian mystic treasure. The rest has nothing to do with me!"


    Song Yu snorted coldly and said, "Selfish and egotistic person! Enough nonsense, take care of this beast first before talking!"


    Lei Yi darted him a glance and did not refute, seemingly very disdainful.


    The moment three great Celestial Deity powerhouses appeared, the others did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    Even though these three people were all first-layered heaven Celestial Deity cultivation, they were god knows how many times stronger than Gao Yuan, this half-step Celestial Deity.


    Even though their realms were suppressed too, it was also merely suppressed to the realm of half-step Celestial Deity.


    "Heh, at least you''re sensible! Everything, wait until seeing the xiantian mystic treasure before talking. This old man is very much looking forward to this treasure!" Ka Suo said with a smile.


    "Roar, roar, roar!"


    The Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise seemed to have heard the three people''s words and started roaring crazily.


    Only to see him open his gaping maws. A series of incomparably massive spiritual energy cannons blasted towards the three people.


    This power was even greater than before.


    "Hump! Ignorant beast!"


    Song Yu gave a cold snort. Lifting his hand, an enormous sword fired out.


    The other two people did not hold back either, each displaying their abilities.


    For a moment, spiritual energy flew everywhere in this canyon.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    How could the Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise be the three people''s match, directly being badly beaten?


    However, he did not suffer overly severe injuries.


    Ka Suo''s face fell and said, "This large tortoise has coarse skin and thick flesh. We can''t budge it at all. We''d best not tangle with him and directly rush over!"


    The other two people nodded their heads and did not object.


    But right then, Ka Suo''s gaze suddenly swept over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body tensed up as if being stared at by a venomous snake.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan turned around and fled!


    Ka Suo laughed coldly and said, "Kid, no matter what grudge you have with me, this old man doesn''t wish to leave a disaster alive in this world!"


    Done talking, Ka Suo pointed a finger. A burst of force tore across the sky, virtually catching up to Ye Yuan in an instant.


    Ka Suo just casually attacked, but to Ye Yuan, it was a fatal killing move!


    Everyone could not react. When Zheng Qi reacted to it, this force already arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan!" Zheng Qi roared.


    The corners of Ka Suo''s mouth curled slightly as if already seeing the scene of Ye Yuan being blasted into dregs.


    He knew that Ye Yuan knew spatial laws, but so what?


    In front of a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, spatial laws were not easy to use either!


    Rumble!


    Sparks flew everywhere, this burst of power directly exploded in midair.


    The smoke disappeared, Ye Yuan''s figure was long gone already.


    The corners of Ka Suo''s mouth curled slightly and he said, "Brat who doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth, to actually dare inquire about this old man''s intel from the Blood Yama Hall! Courting death!"


    With Song Yu''s strength, he could naturally stop Ka Suo, but he did not.


    Because he felt that Ye Yuan was a latent threat to River Eternal Imperial City.


    Such a monster was seriously too terrifying.


    Good that he died!


    "This kid is rather interesting. So many people, it seemed like only he discovered us," Song Yu said coolly.


    Ka Suo smiled coldly and said, "So what if discovered? Playing with fire in front of Celestial Deity powerhouses, isn''t it a very normal thing to burn themselves to death? Old punk, what are you looking at? Keep looking and you believe this old man will kill you too?"


    The latter half of the sentence, Ka Suo was talking to Zheng Qi.


    Zheng Qi''s gaze when looking at Ka Suo now was full of rage.


    Ye Yuan was actually killed right under his eyelids just like that!

 1630 Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain

    Zheng Qi, Ning Tianping, and Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s powerhouses looked toward Ka Suo, each and every one of their eyes spewing fire.


    Ye Yuan was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s future, but he was actually killed by another person just like that!


    They dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    Ka Suo was too strong!


    If not looking on account of Song Yu''s face, Ka Suo would probably exterminate them together as well.


    Killing Ye Yuan was one thing, killing Zheng Qi them all were another matter.


    This point, Ka Suo understood it. So he did not make a move.


    "Already resolved the little bug, so let''s go," Ka Suo said indifferently as if having done a very ordinary thing.


    Song Yu two people nodded their heads and moved forward together with Ka Suo.


    The three people bombarded wildly along the way, blasting the Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise until it was utterly routed, not having the strength to retaliate at all.


    However, this Absolute Magnetism Black Tortoise''s defense was really powerful. No matter how they bombarded, it would not die.


    Those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were all incredibly stunned from watching and had a direct visual understanding of a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse.


    Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses were seriously too strong.


    Even if their cultivation was suppressed, they were still so powerful, and could even fly in the air still.


    Very soon, the three people vanished from everyone''s line of sight.


    The expression on Gao Yuan''s face was very conflicted. Hesitating for a bit, his figure moved, speeding over toward the depths of the canyon.


    Some people shrink back and just took no action altogether. They started meditating on the spot.


    "Head Elder, what should we do?" Ning Tianping asked Zheng Qi.


    Zheng Qi had a sorrowful look as he said, "I let Ye Yuan down! I shouldn''t have dragged him into the water! Now �� what to do now?"


    Ning Tianping also said, "Head Elder, this matter isn''t your fault, it''s all that fiend!"


    Zheng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I hate it! Master''s enemy is right in front of me, but I''m powerless to take revenge! Now, Ye Yuan was killed in my presence and I also don''t have the ability to take revenge for him! I �� I''m too useless!"


    Heavenly Eagle''s people all had rueful looks, deeply feeling the same.


    Everyone all did not detect a speck of dust flying lightly by them, drifting over towards the depths of the canyon.


    ...


    Three figures flew toward the depths of the canyon.


    "That kid just now, there are likely quite a few secrets on him. Dying is somewhat a pity," Song Yu said.


    "Then you killed him just like that?" Song Yu said.


    "Otherwise? Will you watch me take him away before your eyes?" Ka Suo answered with a question.


    "That''s naturally impossible!" Song Yu said with a smile.


    "Then isn''t that enough! This kind of latent danger, best to die earlier! Although I covet the secrets on him, I cherish my life more. Perhaps I don''t need to wait for him to reach Celestial Deity Realm and he''d have the ability to come and find me," Ka Suo''s eyes narrowed slightly as he said.


    Clearly, the talent that Ye Yuan displayed already made him feel scared.


    Actually, Ka Suo also did not expect to be able to run into Ye Yuan here.


    The few of them had been following behind the battalion all the way and took their situation into their sights.


    When Heavenstar and Di En exposed Ye Yuan''s identity, Ka Suo became alert.


    The commotion that Ye Yuan caused back then at the fiend race was too big. The Blood Yama Hall also told Ka Suo the matter of Ye Yuan inquiring about information for the first time ever.


    But Source Night this identity was clearly a fake identity, Ka Suo had nowhere to start searching too.


    All the way until today, in an accident arising from many causes, he actually ran into Ye Yuan.


    If it was merely like this, forget it. But the heaven-defying talent that Ye Yuan displayed along the way made Ka Suo really frightened.


    Origin Deity Realm and he could rival five great first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses. Allow him to carry on developing, how could that do?"


    What was even more damnable was that Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed was too fast.


    At the current rate of cultivation speed, him breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm was also right around the corner!


    This kind of latent threat, Ka Suo did not dare to allow it to grow unchecked.


    Since he encountered it this time, he naturally had to kill him in the cradle.


    Song Yu just nodded his head. He understood Ka Suo''s action very well.


    If it were him, he would also do the same.


    Song Yu''s eyes swiveled and he said with a smile that was not a smile, "There are a few little tails following behind!"


    Ka Suo said disdainfully, "Just a few small fries. They can''t stir up any waves. If they aren''t sensible, eliminate them directly."


    Song Yu smiled and said, "These fools always overestimate their own ability, thinking that they can get some petty gains. But getting petty gains will cost their lives!"


    Suddenly, the three people''s expressions changed. A powerful forcefield pressed over.


    The three people''s figures suddenly sunk and could no longer stabilize their figures, falling straight down.


    After the surprise, the three people''s faces revealed a look of wild ecstasy.


    "Looks like it''s not far away! This kind of undulation is at least xiantian celestial deity mystic treasure!" Ka Suo said excitedly.


    Song Yu''s face also revealed wild elation as he said, "It''s absolutely a xiantian celestial deity mystic treasure!"


    After the ecstasy, the relationship between the three people immediately became delicate.


    A strange atmosphere started spreading between the three.


    The calm and collected appearance from before immediately turned into vigilance.


    Swoosh!


    Song Yu was young in the end and finally could not resist moving.


    Ka Suo laughed sinisterly and suddenly attacked.


    At this time, Lei Yi wanted to take advantage of the two people''s fight and secretly sneak in.


    However, how could the other two do as he wished, and actually both blasted over towards him?


    For some time, the three people clashed together, tangled into a mess.


    The great battle of three great half-step Celestial Deity powerhouses, that battle situation was truly earth-shaking.


    But the three people''s strengths were not much different, nobody could do anything to the other.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The clash of powerful world power shook until debris flew everywhere.


    The three people swept forward as they fought.


    Suddenly, rays of faint light halos came over ahead. The three people only felt a tremendous pressure, their movements also stagnated significantly.


    Far away, a dark hill was upright on a platform, emitting an undulation that shook the soul.


    That powerful forcefield was emitted by precisely this small hill!


    "Origin magnetic divine light! That �� That''s an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Hahaha �� This place actually gave birth to an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! With an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, this seat''s strength will definitely advance greatly!" Song Yu said frenziedly.


    The other two people also had heated faces. Ka Suo laughed coldly and said, "You''re thinking too much! This Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, this old man is determined to get it!"


    Lei Yi said in a cold voice, "You all can stop thinking, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain is mine!"


    Ka Suo laughed loudly and said, "Then let''s showcase our true abilities then!"


    This Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was clearly outside of the three people''s expectations, making the three of them incomparably excited.


    Seeing the main thing, the three people no longer held back, each flashing out big moves. The battle situation became more intense.


    It was just that reaching here, it was hard for them to advance forward an inch anymore.


    These three people all had their own little schemes. Nobody was willing to let the other party gain an advantage.


    Far away, amidst the rugged rocks, Gao Yuan cleverly concealed his figure, the expression on his face flickered incessantly.


    He was a wild wolf, with sufficient patience. He was quietly waiting for the chance.


    This was his greatest hope of breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm. He did not wish to miss it!

 1631 Immortal Binding Rope

    A battle where three half-step celestial deities went all out. How intense the battle situation would be?


    After a bout of fierce fighting, the three people all sustained considerable injuries.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Seeing the three people seriously injured, those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses who plucked up their courage and followed finally could not resist making a move.


    The three people sneered at virtually the same time. Raising their hands, it was several powerful attacks.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    These people were directly blasted into dregs and did not even leave behind bones.


    Song Yu smiled coldly and said, "A bunch of ants also have wishful thinking of obtaining the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    Lei Yi said, "Carrying on fighting like this isn''t a way either! With the three of our strength, we can only cause destruction to all three sides in the end!"


    Ka Suo said, "Then what do you say?"


    Lei Yi said, "First, obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, then it''s not too late to fight! Otherwise, the three of us beat each other to death and didn''t even touch the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Isn''t that too unjust?"


    Ka Suo and Song Yu froze, discovering that what Lei Yi said was very reasonable.


    Right now, this kind of situation, it was really hard to say what the final result would be.


    "Fine, as you say!" Ka Suo said.


    "I have no objections either!" Song Yu said.


    Lei Yi said in a solemn voice, "Go!"


    The three people''s figures moved, sprinting over toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    But very soon, their faces became ugly.


    The closer they got to the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, the harder they found it to walk!


    The incomparably powerful forcefield crushed them until they could not catch their breath.


    They felt like their feet had grown roots, unable to even pull them up.


    One had to know, these three people were all Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses. The power of this forcefield could be seen at a glance.


    "Damn it! The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s origin magnetic field is getting stronger and stronger. At this rate, we can''t go over at all!" Song Yu said in a solemn voice.


    Ka Suo''s fleshy body was the strongest among the three people. But at this time, he was also not much better than the other two.


    The three people even unleashed their strength to suckle on the teat, but their speed got increasingly slower.


    "There''s still a distance of around 1000 feet. Whoever makes it through, this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain will be his!" Ka Suo said in a cold voice.


    A distance of 1000 feet, normally to these three people, it was merely a matter of lifting their feet.


    But now, it was a short distance away and yet, poles apart. It was so far beyond reach.


    "ARGH!!"


    This step seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body.


    Ka Suo gritted his teeth and said, "Why is this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s forcefield so strong?"


    "Puhwark!"


    Song Yu was finally overwhelmed, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    At this time, Song Yu felt like he was carrying an entire mountain on his back, being crushed until he could not even straighten his waist.


    But with the precious treasure ahead, none of them would give up, urging the world power in their entire bodies to the limits, using their all to fight against this powerful forcefield.


    However, this was still futile.


    At this point, even advancing a step was also a luxury.


    An entire six hour''s time passed, the three of them merely walked out around 200 feet. There was still a distance of 800 feet away from the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    Under the powerful forcefield, the three of them were already seriously injured. It was much more severe than when they came to blows earlier.


    But at this time, inside a chunk of rock, a hint of a scornful laugh flitted across the corners of Gao Yuan''s mouth.


    For Gao Yuan to be able to live until now, what he relied on was not just him taking advantage of his seniority. He truly had genuine ability.


    His concealment skill was very brilliant. He had once used this method and survived inside mystic realms countless times.


    Today, it indeed played a role again.


    He slowly walked out of the rock, looking at the three severely injured people, immensely pleased with himself.


    Although Song Yu three people were seriously injured, their divine senses were still very sensitive.


    When they saw Gao Yuan suddenly pop out at this time, their eyes revealed a look of surprise.


    "Hahaha �� so what if Celestial Deity powerhouse? Isn''t it still me who has the last laugh? Weren''t the three of you very arrogant earlier? Be arrogant again now!" Gao Yuan laughed wildly and said.


    Currently all of Song Yu trio''s energy was used to resist the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s forcefield.


    Once they withdrew their strength, that horrifying forcefield would be like a tall mountain falling from the air, crushing them into minced meat!


    If they wanted to withdraw, they must back out little by little.


    It was also precisely because of so that Gao Yuan dared to show up at this time.


    Otherwise, even if the three of them were seriously injured, he also would not dare to easily show face.


    Bang!


    Gao Yuan grinned hideously. Lifting his hand, a beam of divine essence fired out, flying straight for Song Yu.


    Song Yu''s feet were rooted at this time and did not even have the qualifications to dodge, forcefully receiving this blow.


    Even though there was the effect of the forcefield, when this attack reached Song Yu here, the power was already no strong.


    But at this time, this palm was simply a death-hastening talisman to him.


    Song Yu spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood wildly!


    Crack!


    This palm''s effect was a chain reaction. His body was overwhelmed. The powerful forcefield was crushing him until his bones cracked.


    His expression was livid, aware that he no longer had the strength to move forward. Hence, he slowly stepped back and withdrew.


    "Song Yu, if you dare to retreat, this old man will send you to the West right now, do you believe it?!" Gao Yuan shouted fiercely[1].


    Song Yu got a fright and indeed no longer dared to retreat, and could only grit his teeth and persevere.


    When Gao Yuan saw the situation, he laughed unbridledly and said, "Song Yu, haven''t you always been very arrogant for so many years? Be arrogant with this old man again!"


    Song Yu''s expression was incomparably ugly. This was really a tiger landing in a plain being bullied by a dog.


    He never thought that he would actually succumb at Gao Yuan''s hands.


    This ant in his eyes actually controlled his life and death now!


    Gao Yuan was incomparably refreshed in his heart. The grievance accumulated in his heart for so many years all erupted.


    Rumble!


    Gao Yuan raised his hand and it was another palm. Song Yu was powerless and could only forcefully receive this blow.


    This palm was not heavy and could not kill him. But it increased his pressure.


    "Hahaha �� This old man scammed Wu Xingtang to death back then, now, I scammed you to death too! So what if talented? aren''t you still going to die in this old man''s hands? Isn''t it still this old man who has the last laugh?" Gao Yuan laughed loudly and said.


    Song Yu gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, "Gao Yuan, don''t you get cocky! The thing that even we can''t obtain, with the likes of your bit of strength, can you get it?"


    Lei Yi also said in a cold voice, "If you can walk within 2000 feet, consider it my loss!"


    Gao Yuan had a look of disdain and said, "The three of you fools! Who said that obtaining this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain has to walk in front of it? Open up your dog eyes and take a look at what''s this?"


    While talking, there was an additional golden-colored rope in Gao Yuan''s hands.


    The moment the three people looked, their expressions could not help changing drastically and they exclaimed, "Immortal Binding Rope!"


    Gao Yuan smiled coldly and said, "At least you guys have a bit of knowledge! When this old man came out this time, I specifically borrowed this celestial deity mystic treasure, Immortal Binding Rope, from City Lord His Excellency! Now, open your dog eyes and look at how this old man acquires this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    Gao Yuan gradually walked in the direction of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, the pressure on his body also became greater and greater.


    However, when he walked 5000 feet away from the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, he came to a standstill.


    It was only to see seals being formed in his hands. That golden rope was seemingly like a spiritual snake, winding over toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    [1] Sending to the West means sending to heaven, killing him.

 1632 Taking on an Onerous Task

    The Immortal Binding Rope sprawled out, directly pulling the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain inside.


    Gao Yuan was overjoyed, mustering up all the essence energy in his body, and pulled with all his strength!


    He totally thought that with his divine essence plus the power of the Immortal Binding Rope, this celestial deity mystic treasure, he could absolutely pull the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain over.


    However, in the next instant, he only felt a tremendous force transmit over.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain did not budge an inch, but because he used too much strength, he was directly jerked in the direction of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    "Puhwark!"


    Using excessive force all at once and advancing too much distance forward, the horrifying forcefield instantly crushed him, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Gao Yuan was already injured considerably. Now, his injuries piled on.


    Fortunately, the distance that he advanced was not too far, it was not to the extent of making the three people break away from his control.


    "Hahaha �� I was wondering how capable you were! After messing around for half a day, it''s also like drawing water with a sieve!" Ka Suo laughed wildly and said.


    Song Yu suffered a big loss and already hated Gao Yuan to the extreme. He also grinned hideously and said, "Idiots are idiots! What kind of weight does the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain have? Not refining it, nobody can think about bringing it away! Even if another ten of you came, you can''t budge this kind of precious treasure too!"


    Gao Yuan crawled up rather difficultly, feeling like his innards had shifted positions, his bones almost snapping.


    The forcefield here was too strong. He did not dare to stay too long and wanted to withdraw and think of a way again.


    Facing the three people''s mocking, Gao Yuan did not care.


    He grasped the advantage right now and did not fear these three people at all.


    The Immortal Binding Rope already broke free from his hand. Gao Yuan was just planning on summoning it back when suddenly, his gaze turned intent!


    A figure appeared out of thin air, blocking the direction that the Immortal Binding Rope was returning.


    Swoosh!


    The Immortal Binding Rope flashed and disappeared, directly disappearing!


    Gao Yuan''s shock was by no means insignificant. He desperately sensed for the Immortal Binding Rope, frantically urging his spells, attempting to summon the Immortal Binding Rope back.


    But the Immortal Binding Rope was akin to a clay ox entering the sea. He was unable to sense it in the slightest anymore.


    That person looked at Gao Yuan and said with a faint smile, "This rope looks pretty good, I''ll accept it."


    Ye Yuan looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. He said with a smile, "Is your head spoiled? This little lord took your stuff, and you still want it back?"


    When Ka Suo trio saw the Ye Yuan who suddenly appeared, they were shocked until they could not close their mouths for a long time.


    Especially Ka Suo, he had an expression like he had seen a ghost on his face.


    He was all too clear about the power of that palm of his. Forget about an Origin Deity Realm, even middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses would also die until not even residue remained.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually appeared in front of him without a scratch!


    "This �� How is this possible? How �� How is he completely fine?" Ka Suo said with an astounded look.


    "This kid is too sinister! Just now, no idea what method he used either, he actually directly swallowed up the Immortal Binding Rope!" Song Yu said with an ugly expression.


    "Something''s wrong! With his strength, how can he possibly stand in the 2000 feet place?" Lei Yi said in a solemn voice.


    Song Yu''s expression changed and he had a foreboding premonition in his heart, and said in a solemn voice, "This Origin Magnetic Field is already sufficient to surpass spatial laws. Even if he comprehended second-layered heaven spatial laws, it''s also not possible to show up in this place currently! Just what methods do this kid still have?"


    Ka Suo suddenly thought of a possibility and exclaimed, "This boy''s goal wouldn''t be the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, right?"


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly turned to look at Ka Suo and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you answered correctly! Originally, I wasn''t too interested in this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. But since you guys can''t obtain it, then this little lord will reluctantly accept it."


    The moment these words came out, the three people''s expressions suddenly changed.


    Song Yu said with a suspicious look, "Impossible! Your bit of strength, you''ll be crushed into minced meat by the forcefield!"


    The other two did not speak, but the expressions on their faces clearly had the same thought as Song Yu.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Oh? Is that so? Not trying, who knows?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan slowly walked over towards the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    Four people looked at Ye Yuan, their eyes full of shock.


    Amidst such a powerful forcefield, but Ye Yuan strolled idly like in a courtyard like he could not feel the existence of the pressure in the slightest.


    One had to know, even Ka Suo the three of them also suffered tremendous pressure when walking until 2000 feet, struggling to stride forward.


    As for Gao Yuan, it went even more without saying.


    If he entered the 3000 feet region, he would probably be pressed into minced meat sauce.


    "Impossible! This is impossible! How �� How can he withstand such a horrifying origin magnetic field?" Ka Suo said in shock.


    Song Yu''s expression also flickered incessantly and he gritted his teeth and said, "The secrets on this boy''s body are too many, with his means emerging in endless streams, impossible to guard against at all! Who could have thought that it was actually him who would have the last laugh?"


    Lei Yi''s expression was very ugly as he said with a cold snort, "Whoever has the last laugh isn''t determined yet! Right now, it''s merely a distance of 2000 feet, the closer to the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, the more terrifying the origin magnetic field. I don''t believe that he can walk until the end!"


    The other two people also secretly nodded their heads when they heard that.


    What Lei Yi said was right, they only walked to the 800 feet distance and it was already as heavy as a tall mountain. The vicinity of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was definitely horrifying until it was unimaginable.


    They did not believe that Ye Yuan could keep going like this.


    The four people stared with big eyes, looking at Ye Yuan slowly walk over just like this.


    2000 feet, 1500 feet, 1000 feet, 800 feet!


    Ye Yuan walked at a very uniform speed. Before long, he was already shoulder to shoulder with Song Yu and the others.


    When the three people saw Ye Yuan walk to 800 feet with such ease, their hearts sunk to rock bottom.


    "No way! We definitely can''t give this lucky chance to this punk! Otherwise, it will be akin to adding wings to a tiger for this boy!"


    The pressure that Ye Yuan gave him was truly too great.


    At this time, whatever Celestial Deity Realm was no use at all!


    Ye Yuan walked past the three people, his gaze faintly swept over Ka Suo as he said with a smile, "You wait, our score will be settled properly!"


    Ka Suo was stared at by Ye Yuan until his heart beat wildly. This boy was actually threatening him!


    But he was not worried about Ye Yuan killing him right now. Even though Ye Yuan''s strength rivaled first-layered heaven Divine Lord, this was still too weak to him.


    With the strength of his fleshy body, even if he stood there and let a first-layered heaven Divine Lord kill, the first-layered heaven Divine Lord could not touch him in the slightest too.


    Ye Yuan was different from Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan was originally a half-step Celestial Deity powerhouse. Even though he had his realm suppressed, his offensive strength was very powerful. His threat towards the three was very great.


    But Ye Yuan was merely an Origin Deity martial artist in the end.


    Ye Yuan himself also understood this point, hence, he did not make a move.


    "Punk, you don''t get cocky! When this old man breaks free, the first one I''m killing is you!" Ka Suo gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you can really kill me, would I still be standing here? Therefore, you''d best pray. Pray that I grow slower. This way, you can live longer."

 1633 Dogfigh

    Ka Suo was very depressed. If other Origin Deity Realm powerhouses dared to speak to him like this, he would definitely laugh it over.


    This kind of trash could forget about posing the least bit of threat to him in their lifetimes.


    But Ye Yuan was different!


    This boy''s talent was too great. Furthermore, his combat strength was heaven-defying. Being at the Origin Deity Realm, he already had the strength comparable to a first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Once such a person grew up, the threat to him was too big!


    "However, even though killing you right now is somewhat forceful, making you suffer some hardship is still achievable."


    Ye Yuan grinned as he said this, smiling until Ka Suo shuddered.


    "You �� What do you want to do? A measly Origin Deity Realm trash wants to cause harm to this seat?" Ka Suo''s expression changed in a threatening manner, but inwardly he was shaky.


    Ye Yuan''s finger moved, a silver needle suddenly appearing on his fingertips.


    This silver needle was shockingly a divine lord mystic treasure!


    He looked at Ka Suo and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Heh, measly Origin Deity Realm? You have to know, this little lord is Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Pill Tower elder! See this silver needle? This silver needle has rank three Bone Eroding Heavenly Fiend Tears tempered on it. This thing �� don''t tell me that you never heard before?"


    Ka Suo''s gaze turned intent, his aura weakened, almost getting crushed to the ground by the forcefield.


    "You �� How do you know how to refine this kind of thing?" Ka Suo said in horror.


    Bone Eroding Heavenly Fiend Tears was a strong poison that targeted the fiend race. It was incomparably powerful.


    One drop of rank five Bone Eroding Heavenly Fiend Tears was enough for him, this Celestial Deity powerhouse, to die a hundred times over!


    Although rank three Bone Eroding Heavenly Fiend Tears could not poison him to death, it was plenty for him to suffer.


    Especially under this kind of state, once he was poisoned, he would definitely get incomparably weak. At that time, no need for Ye Yuan to make a move, he would also be crushed by the Origin Magnetic Field.


    If what Ye Yuan held in his hand was a celestial deity artifact, he would not care at all. Because celestial deity artifacts could not breach his defenses at all!


    However, what Ye Yuan held in his hand was a divine lord mystic treasure!


    This was deadly!


    Looking at the silver needle on Ye Yuan''s hand swaying back and forth in front of him, Ka Suo finally broke down.


    Swoosh!


    Ka Suo unleashed all of his strength, rushing out like an arrow leaving the string.


    As he walked away, Ka Suo spurted fresh blood wildly, his entire person unbelievably weak under the suppression of the Origin Magnetic Field.


    Rumble ��


    Song Yu two people''s faces changed slightly, looking at Ye Yuan rather fearfully.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan took out another small bottle. The two people immediately felt their hairs stand on end.


    No need to ask, inside this little bottle was nothing good as well!


    How could they give Ye Yuan the chance to prick them with the needle? Learning from Ka Suo, they made their move, fleeing outside.


    With this escape, their injuries naturally could not be light under the heavy pressure.


    These three people sat there, spewing one mouthful of blood after another. The scene was rather grand.


    Not far away, Gao Yuan''s expression changed slightly.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan only used a silver needle and frightened three great Celestial Deity powerhouses until like this.


    Ye Yuan looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "What did you all run so fast for? I was just cracking a joke with you guys, you all took it seriously? I''m an alchemist, why would there be so many poisons on me?"


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    The three people spewed out a large mouthful of blood once more without prior agreement.


    This guy really exasperated people to death without paying for it.


    "Ye Yuan, you! When this seat recuperates from my injuries, I definitely won''t spare you! Even if you''re Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s elder, it will not do as well!" Song Yu said furiously.


    The three of their strength was already less than one-tenth under severe injuries.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then you all take good care of your injuries. I''ll retrieve the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain first. Oh, right, there''s still a person casting covetous eyes beside you guys. You all wouldn''t think that he would let you guys heal your injuries properly, right?"


    The three people''s faces changed, virtually looking at Gao Yuan at the same time, the flames of fury immediately igniting.


    Gao Yuan''s expression similarly changed. He did not expect that a sentence from Ye Yuan turned the fire on him and he roared angrily, "Ye Yuan, don''t make slanderous charges! This old man will leave right now. The three of you feel free to heal your injuries!"


    Song Yu sneered and said, "When you ambushed this seat just now, weren''t you very cocky? Now, your father wants to see how you can still be arrogant!"


    Ka Suo and Lei Yi were both extremely shrewd people. How could they possibly allow a wolf to glare like a ravening tiger at one side unchecked?


    Ye Yuan not being able to kill them did not mean that Gao Yuan could not kill them.


    Furthermore, Gao Yuan''s state currently was even a little better than the three of them.


    Not killing him, how could the three of them dare to heal up?


    Ka Suo smiled coldly and said, "Who the hell cares what happens! Finish him off first before talking! This old punk is very insidious, not worse than Ye Yuan that punk! Letting him live, who knows what he''ll do?"


    Gao Yuan''s expression was ugly to the extreme. Ye Yuan''s move of drawing fire onto him was really vicious!


    This was a blatant conspiracy. Those three people were old foxes too, it was impossible to not see through that Ye Yuan was sowing discord.


    But they still had to make a move against him.


    The reason was very simple, they were not at ease!


    This brat was really hard to tangle with!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The three people forcefully endured the heavy injuries and pincered Gao Yuan in.


    Ka Suo three people were heavily injured and were long arrows at the end of their flight.


    If not for so, with their identities, how could they possibly join forces to attack?


    Rather, it was Gao Yuan. Even though he sustained injuries too, it was much lighter in comparison.


    Very soon, the four people became entangled in a melee.


    How could Gao Yuan be the three people''s match? In a few rounds, he was teetering on his feet, sustaining considerable injuries.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help smiling slightly.


    The more shrewd the person, the easier it was to be fooled instead sometimes.


    The fight over there, he was not concerned. He was going to go and put away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain right now.


    Just as Ka Suo and the rest said, Ye Yuan''s strength was insufficient to walk in front of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    The origin magnetic field ahead was too strong. Even though he had the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, this kind of divine object, this thing was clearly much inferior in comparison to the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    However, Ye Yuan has his method.


    To him, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood was the best medium to communicate with the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!


    Ye Yuan took out the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and poured essence energy inside frenziedly.


    With a swoosh, the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood flew straight for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    Crack!


    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood actually inserted into the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain without the least bit of obstruction!


    Rumble!


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain seemed to have been activated, instantly emitting a dazzling light.


    When the four people who were currently in a fierce battle saw this scene, they could not help stopping, looking at this scene with incredible shock.


    "How did this boy do it? He actually started to refine the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!" Song Yu''s expression changed drastically.


    Ka Suo gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Damn it! Bustling around for such a long time and sustaining such heavy injuries, it actually benefited this brat in the end! When my injuries are healed, I''ll definitely kill this punk at all costs!"


    Swoosh!


    Just as the three people were in shock, Gao Yuan turned into a stream of flowing light, speeding away toward the outside world.


    The three people could not be bothered with him at all, their expressions looking at Ye Yuan complicatedly.


    "This Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain isn''t an ordinary treasure. Its grade is unable to be determined at all! Once it''s fully refined, probably even Celestial Deity powerhouses can be easily killed!" Lei Yi said with a very ugly expression.

 1634 Full of Cunning Tricks

    Ye Yuan obtained the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood for already so many years. He had long already fused into becoming one with it, no distinctions between each other.


    Using it as a bridge to communicate with the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain at this time went very smoothly.


    The Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain originated from the same source. It could be said to be from the same root. There naturally wasn''t that much aversion towards Ye Yuan.


    Under the three people''s astonished gazes, Ye Yuan slowly walked out once more, heading toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    "Why is such a powerful origin magnetic field totally useless against him?" Song Yu said in shock.


    "The origin magnetic field actually lost effectiveness! What in the world did he do just now?" Ka Suo also said in shock.


    Lei Yi had sharp eyes as he exclaimed, "You guys look above the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! That''s �� Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood!"


    When the three people saw the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, they could not help coming to a realization, finally knowing why Ye Yuan could come and go freely under the cover of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    Origin magnetism law was a kind of very rare and unique law. The people that could comprehend it were extremely, extremely few.


    People as strong as the Song Yu trio could only release world power to resist the heavy pressure of the origin magnetic field too.


    But Ye Yuan, he could utilize origin magnetism law to neutralize the origin magnetic field!


    "Damn it! This boy''s luck is also too heaven-defying. Not only did he comprehend spatial laws, but there''s also actually even Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, this kind of supreme treasure!" Ka Suo howled.


    Ye Yuan''s luck made him envious and jealous.


    Amidst the three people''s complicated gazes, Ye Yuan slowly came in front of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was black all over, the height of three people; very thick and strong. Ten people could not wrap their arms around it too.


    Ye Yuan''s hand lightly put on the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, pouring divine essence inside, and started refining the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    But right at this time, Song Yu and Lei Yi exchanged a glance, suddenly revealing a vicious look.


    Ka Suo was an old monster who had lived for a million years, he immediately detected something amiss.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Two figures tore through the wind and arrived, rushing over toward him.


    Ka Suo''s figure dodged bizarrely, avoiding the two people''s attacks.


    "Heh, you humans are indeed all treacherous people!" Ka Suo said with a cold laugh.


    Lei Yi nodded and said, "No need to be long-winded with him, kill him!"


    Ka Suo laughed loudly and said, "Want to kill this seat, you guys are still a bit inexperienced!"


    At that time, in order to acquire the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, none of the three wanted to overly expend energy, so that was why it formed a delicate agreement.


    Now, looking as the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was being taken by Ye Yuan into his bag, the balance between them was naturally broken.


    Even though Lei Yi was an itinerant cultivator, humans and fiends were mortal enemies. Now that there was a chance to kill Ka Suo, he naturally would not hesitate.


    Moreover, Ka Suo, this kind of old monster who had lived for a million years, there was definitely quite a number of good stuff on him.


    Killing him could also make up for the deficit this time.


    As for Ye Yuan, they already gave up.


    He and Song Yu both understood, their current states could not kill Ye Yuan at all.


    Hence, they set the target on Ka Suo.


    If he was at his peak state, Ka Suo naturally did not fear the two. But at this time, it was still rather taxing for him to face the two people''s joint forces.


    "Old Devil Ka Suo, finishing you off, Eminent Orchid Imperial City will be considered to have lost an arm too! Today, you just remain behind here!" Song Yu said with a cold smile.


    Song Yu had long consumed some medicinal pills and forcefully suppressed his injuries. Breaking out into fierce fighting at this time, he did not hold back in the slightest too.


    "Damn it! Song Yu punk, today''s grudge, this old man has remembered it!"


    Ka Suo retreated as he fought, retreating towards the outside of the canyon.


    Very soon, the three people disappeared, only leaving behind Ye Yuan alone refining the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    ...


    Outside the canyon, a group of people were unable to return above and could only quietly wait for the result.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s side was filled with sorrow. Ye Yuan''s demise was a tremendous blow to them.


    Suddenly, Zheng Qi''s gaze turned intent, sweeping over towards the depths of the canyon.


    A figure was currently fleeing over here in a fluster. Who was it if not Gao Yuan?


    Zheng Qi''s stomach full of rage was just unable to give vent. Seeing Gao Yuan, he finally found an opening to vent.


    His figure swept away, directly receiving him.


    "Old fogey! Today, let''s settle old scores and new together, die!"


    Zheng Qi shouted loudly, wielding his sword and advancing.


    Gao Yuan was currently in a state of trepidation, afraid of those three people chasing after. But he did not expect that there was a tiger at the back, a wolf in front. At this time, he was blocked head-on by Zheng Qi.


    "Zheng Qi, this old man isn''t free to mess around with you right now! Get lost for this seat!" Gao Yuan said in a great rage.


    Today was Gao Yuan''s most aggrieved day.


    He thought that he calculated everything. So he did not expect to be defeated at the hands of an Origin Deity Realm brat.


    Inside mystic realms, it had always been him scamming people. When had he been scammed by people before?


    But this time, starting from the Fiend Calling Ridge, he was scammed all the way, all the way until being scammed by Ye Yuan in the end, even almost dying under the joint attacks of three great Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    Now, even Zheng Qi this small fry dared to bully him.


    How could Zheng Qi give way? He saw that Gao Yuan was seriously injured, it was precisely the best timing to take revenge. It was naturally impossible to let the other party go.


    At this time, Utmost Peace Imperial City still had some people remaining. When they saw that Gao Yuan was being stopped, they immediately wanted to take action and help.


    But Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was currently the group of people being in the best state. How could they let these people go over?


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s people immediately surrounded them in the center. Ning Tianping smiled coldly and said, "This is the enmity between them. I want see who dares to make a move!"


    Utmost Peace Imperial City''s people already lost more than half along the way. Right now, these people''s bodies were also carrying injuries.


    At this time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s powerhouses were simply like a group of fierce tigers, while the opposite was a group of sickly cats. Once they fought, there was not the slightest bit of suspense at all.


    Ning Tianping secretly sighed in his heart. If not for Elder Ye, they probably could not even accomplish blocking the adversary currently, right?


    But sadly, a genius of his generation actually perished just like this.


    That side, Zheng Qi completely had a fighting style without heed for his life, each move not leaving the vitals.


    Under serious injuries, how could Gao Yuan still be a match, shouting in anxiety?


    "Zheng Qi, are you crazy? If you dare to kill me, Utmost Peace Imperial City will never rest until you guys are dead!"


    "The matter back then can''t blame me at all, it was all Wu Xingtang himself who was greedy, that was why he lost his life!"


    "Zheng Qi, I was wrong, okay? Let''s shake hands and make up!"


    Gao Yuan cried weirdly, finally even yielding and begging for mercy. But Zheng Qi turned a deaf ear to it.


    Zheng Qi was not a fool either, such a fine opportunity, once he missed it, he had to wait for god knows how many years!


    Today, he must kill the other party!


    Seeing that Zheng Qi listened neither to reason nor bowed to force, Gao Yuan cried out, "Zheng Qi, what are you risking your life so desperately for? Ye Yuan that boy isn''t dead. If you have the time to waste with me here, why haven''t you hurry up to go save him?!"


    Zheng Qi''s face that was calm was finally visibly moved.


    He stopped the sword in his hand and said in a cold voice, "What did you say?!"


    Not just him, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s everyone was all stunned.


    They saw Ye Yuan being killed by Ka Suo with their own eyes, how could he possibly not die?


    Gao Yuan said, "I initially also thought that Ye Yuan this punk died. Who knew that he didn''t die and even sneaked inside. But now, he''s being besieged by three great Celestial Deity powerhouses, his life and death are unknown. You still have the time to waste here with me?"

 1635 Moving a Mountain Over

    Bang!


    While Zheng Qi was in a daze, Gao Yuan suddenly made a sneak attack, a palm strike toward the former''s chest.


    Suddenly hearing the news that Ye Yuan did not die, Zheng Qi''s mind received an impact and was dazed for a moment. How could Gao Yuan let go of this chance?


    Zheng Qi was struck flying by a palm, falling heavily onto the ground, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    This palm, Zheng Qi was completely unguarded, receiving it solidly, and already could not even stand up.


    It was also Gao Yuan who was seriously injured, his strength and divine essence less than 10%, that he did not kill Zheng Qi.


    But this was sufficient for Gao Yuan.


    His goal was not to kill Zheng Qi, but to escape!


    "You �� despicable!" Zheng Qi clutched his chest and said angrily.


    Gao Yuan laughed and said, "If time wasn''t pressing, this old man would have sent you to heaven! But I''ll tell you a piece of good news, Ye Yuan really didn''t die! Furthermore �� if there''s no accident, the precious treasure likely already belongs to him!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone all revealed astonished looks.


    "This �� How is this possible? I clearly saw with my own eyes him being killed by that fiend race powerhouse, how can he possibly not die?"


    "Not only did he not die, he even obtained a massive lucky chance from the hands of three mighty celestial deities!"


    "How did he do it? We have so many pairs of eyes, could it be that all made an error of judgment?"


    ...


    The shock in everyone''s hearts could not be any greater. A person that had long already been smashed into dregs in their eyes actually seized the massive lucky chance this time.


    This kind of thing, even thinking about it felt unimaginable.


    Furthermore, this time had three great Celestial Deity powerhouses intervening in this matter. Could it be that they just watched Ye Yuan snatch the treasure unfeelingly?


    Gao Yuan gave Zheng Qi a contemptuously glance and was just about to leave.


    "Hahaha �� Gao Yuan, thank you for bringing me this news! Since Ye Yuan didn''t die, this old man''s worry is gone! Today, this old man is going to perish together with you!"


    Suddenly, Zheng Qi laughed wildly without ceasing, the aura on his body skyrocketed!


    He suddenly stood up, the injuries on his body actually recovered instantly. Furthermore, his body emitted a red light halo, his entire person like he was berserk.


    When Gao Yuan saw this scene, his expression could not help changing as he said fiercely, "Zheng Qi, you''re mad! Crazed Sword Evanescent this move burns life and blood essence!"


    Normally, even if Zheng Qi used this Crazed Sword Evanescent move, it was also not possible to be Gao Yuan''s match.


    But this opportunity today was too good, Zheng Qi was clear that once he missed it, he probably would never have the chance to take revenge again in this lifetime.


    Even though the chances of Gao Yuan breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm was very bleak, his chances of breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm was similarly very slim.


    Want to take revenge, there was virtually no chance.


    And today might be the last chance.


    Zheng Qi waited for several tens of thousands of years, how could he possibly let go of this chance easily?


    Gao Yuan''s expression changed drastically and he said in horror, "Lunatic! You lunatic!"


    Gao Yuan and Wu Xingtang were powerhouses of the same era. He was naturally no stranger to Crazed Sword Evanescent, this move.


    Using this move in a desperate situation, not only could one''s state reach its peak, it could even let one''s combat strength soar.


    But the price was burning longevity and blood essence!


    Right now, using this kind of state, Zheng Qi using this move was simply too terrible for him.


    Virtually without the least bit of hesitation, Gao Yuan immediately sprinted madly away.


    Zheng Qi laughed coldly and shouted, "Where are you going?!"


    Zheng Qi used Crazed Sword Evanescent this move, his movement technique increased greatly, catching up to Gao Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    Each sword of his was faster than the last, forcing Gao Yuan until he was in a fluster.


    How could Gao Yuan still desire to continue fighting? He could only retreat as he fought.


    He knew that Zheng Qi''s state could not last too long. As long as he dragged it on with him, there would be a chance to counter-kill Zheng Qi.


    The two people, one chased, one ran, disappearing before everyone''s eyes very soon.


    Before leaving, Zheng Qi left behind an instruction. He said, "You all remain here and quietly wait for Elder Ye to come out!"


    Ning Tianping and the rest had conflicted looks. They did not think that Head Elder would actually be so decisive.


    Zheng Qi and Gao Yuan had just left not long ago when a series of violent fighting sounds came over from the rear again.


    Very soon, Ka Suo three people''s figures appeared in front of everyone.


    But they did not stay, chasing as they fought, also disappearing before everyone''s eyes very quickly.


    Everyone exchanged glances, only feeling that the current situation was extremely chaotic, and could not help becoming very confused.


    "Kill!"


    Heavenstar''s eyes revealed a fierce look and suddenly launched an attack, killing a human powerhouse with a lift of his hand.


    Only then did the human powerhouses come to a realization and counter-attacked one after another.


    But the humans were a host of dragons without a leader at this time and did not even have a person that could hold down the fort. How could they be the fiend powerhouses'' match?


    That Qiao An could not resist the loneliness and wanted to go in to seize the lucky chance, and was already killed by the three great Celestial Deity powerhouses jointly.


    At this time, Heavenstar and Di En two people were the strongest ones among this group of people.


    Even if his realm was being suppressed, it was also a tiger entering a flock of sheep.


    Luckily, everyone''s realm was being suppressed. The humans were not to the extent of a rout being like a landslide. But the situation was not good either.


    And now, the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s powerhouses became this battle''s main force.


    Their strength was preserved very completely, their combat power very strong.


    Right now, among the human powerhouses, there was only Ling Zikun, one top powerhouse left.


    He also felt very strained facing two great peak third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses by himself.


    But the fiend race had the advantage in numbers in the first place, the humans getting defeated was also something inevitable.


    The present situation was very bad for the human''s side.


    "Everybody, hold out! As long as we wait until Lord Song Yu and Lord Lei Yi return, we''ll win!" Ling Zikun shouted.


    But the humans'' forces were too many and scrambled, each fighting for themselves. How could they be as united as the fiend race?


    Under the fierce fighting, the human powerhouses became lesser and lesser, their losses very tragic.


    Even Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s side also had quite a number of people who suffered serious injuries.


    Heavenstar laughed wildly and said, "That damn Ye Yuan, to actually dare snatch away the lucky chance this time! Today, you all have to pay the price for his actions! Hahaha!"


    Originally, seeing Ye Yuan get killed by Ka Suo, Heavenstar was very excited.


    But who knew that not only did Ye Yuan not die, he even obtained the massive lucky chance this time. Heavenstar was as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly in his heart.


    His fury was now all vented on slaughtering the human powerhouses.


    The human powerhouses'' number plummeted, each and every one of their faces revealing a look of despair.


    Right at this time, a white-clothed youth walked over from the depths of the canyon seemingly slowly, but in reality, it was fast.


    Each step that the youth took, there would be a very deep footprint under his feet.


    This youth''s hand was actually holding up an enormous mountain!


    Yes, comparatively speaking to his body, it was an enormous mountain.


    Under the huge mountain, his body appeared very weak, as if it could be crushed into minced meat by the huge mountain at any time.


    But, the youth was expressionless, lifting something heavy as if it were light, looking very relaxed and effortless.


    "E-Elder Ye! It''s Elder Ye!" Ning Tianping was the first to discover Ye Yuan, crying out in surprise.

 1636 Domineering Killing

    Ning Tianping was first incomparably surprised, but seeing that large mountain on Ye Yuan''s hand, he was shocked until his jaws could not close.


    What the hell was this?


    Elder Ye carried a mountain over?


    This scene seemed extremely comical. Ye Yuan''s body appeared extremely incongruous with the enormous mountain, yet, he was not crushed.


    Quite a few people all saw this scene, including those fiends.


    "Hahaha, is this kid here to make a joke? Carry a small hill here for what?"


    "Is this here to scare us? Haha, I''m so scared!"


    "What a large mountain! My goodness, I''m going to be crushed to death!"


    ...


    To Origin Deity Realm martial artists, carrying a small hill of this scale was a very effortless thing.


    Therefore, even though Ye Yuan''s state looked very comical, everyone did not feel anything strange.


    If it were them, they could also hold it up easily.


    This kind of small hill to smash people would not cause any harm at all. Hence, that was why they would mock Ye Yuan like this.


    The fiend race already had victory within grasp and did not think that an Origin Deity Realm Ye Yuan could change anything. Even if he had first-layered heaven Divine Lord combat power, nothing would change.


    Ning Tianping they all also did not feel so, and shouted at Ye Yuan, "Elder Ye, don''t care about us, quickly go!"


    Ye Yuan flashed a smile at him. The latter was stunned for a while, then saw Ye Yuan lightly raise his arm, and pushed the enormous mountain.


    Then, he saw that enormous mountain draw a beautiful arc, landing on Heavenstar''s head.


    Heavenstar had long seen Ye Yuan, but he was very disdainful toward Ye Yuan. Seeing that Ye Yuan actually used the enormous mountain to come and smash him, he could not help sneering as he said, "A lousy mountain and you want to injure this seat? Do you really take this seat to be a piece of paper?"


    Heavenstar fished out a large hammer, it was shockingly a high-level fiend lord mystic treasure.


    Only to see him smile scornfully, brandish his hammer, a smashing over toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    At this time, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain just happened to be falling. All of a sudden, a terrifying forcefield enveloped the entire battlefield.


    The originally disdainful-looking Heavenstar suddenly changed his expression drastically, finally discovering the terror of this enormous mountain.


    He instinctively wanted to run, but it was like his feet grew roots, unable to budge at all!


    "ARGH!!"


    A shrill yet despairing scream suddenly cut off.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s falling speed was too fast, fast until everyone could not react.


    They did not even have time to blink their eyes and Heavenstar was gone.


    "Puhwark!"


    Fresh blood flew everywhere!


    Di En could not resist shuddering, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain returned to his hand once more, and was held up lightly just like that.


    This time, nobody could laugh anymore.


    Everyone ceased fighting, looking at the Heavenstar who was smashed into a meat pancake in endless horror.


    His fiend soul already dissipated with the wind, unable to even find a trace.


    A fiend powerhouse said in shock, "N-No way, right? What is this thing, how �� how is it so strong?"


    His face was very black, but at this time, it actually had signs of turning pale. Clearly, he was frightened badly.


    To be able to quash a third-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouse at once, the power of this enormous mountain was too terrifying.


    "O-Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! The precious treasure born this time is actually an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Q-Quickly run!"


    Talking to the back, Di En''s voice changed pitched, clearly terrified to the extreme.


    How could he still dare to stay, taking off and running!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t be in a hurry to leave, I''ll send you off!"


    Done talking, he pushed the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain once more. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain caught up to Di En with incredible speed.


    Rumble!


    A loud noise transmitted over, another third-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouses was gone.


    Those fiend powerhouses were all overwhelmed by terror, wetting their pants in fear. How could they still dare to remain behind at this time? All of them unleashed every single bit of their strength, running away desperately.


    They could only pray, pray that Ye Yuan would not set his eye on them.


    Even Di En and Heavenstar, these two mighty powerhouses, were casually quashed. How could they get lucky?


    "R-R-Run! Quickly run!"


    "Quickly run! This human is a devil!"


    "Everybody quickly run! Being smashed by this small hill and you''ll be dead!"


    ...


    For some time, the fiend race''s powerhouses fled in all directions, scattering like birds and animals. How could they still care about slaughtering the human powerhouses.


    The current Ye Yuan was a malefic star in their eyes.


    The human powerhouses were all dumbfounded. They were shocked by this scene before their eyes until it could not be any greater.


    They could not understand it no matter what. How did Ye Yuan become so strong all of a sudden, squashing two third-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouses with a few casual moves.


    One had to know, Heavenstar and Di En were genuine ninth-layered heaven Fiend Lord powerhouses!


    Actually, they misunderstood, this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain only had such power inside this abyss.


    This abyss was a natural magnetic field. As long as Ye Yuan controlled the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and made it create an attractive force with this massive magnetic field, forget about fiend lords, even a fiend king would be squashed by him too!


    This Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s density was very horrifying. If not for refining it, even Ka Suo, this kind of Celestial Deity powerhouse, could forget about budging it in the slightest.


    Once this kind of thing crushed down, even divine lord mystic treasures would be crushed into dust too, let alone talk about a person.


    However, Ye Yuan''s current strength could only refine a small portion, and could not unleash its full power at all.


    If fully refined, quashing Celestial Deity powerhouses would be like playing.


    Just as Song Yu they all said, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s grade could not be determined at all. It might be even more formidable than xiantian celestial deity mystic treasures!


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved, throwing the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain out once more


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan tossed very casually, quashing one fiend race powerhouse after another.


    He specifically picked those powerful fiend powerhouses to kill, hitting one target after another without missing his shot.


    Those fiend powerhouses wailed miserably as if the end of the world had come, crying out in despair.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan''s tossing needed some time, it was also impossible to kill everyone. That was how quite a few fiends escaped.


    Even so, in this short while, the fiends also lost over a dozen powerhouses.


    Among them, there were quite a few powerhouses who were originally sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord and above.


    With this, it was sufficient for Eminent Orchid Imperial City and Blood Yama Hall to suffer.


    The human powerhouses were all dumbfounded, all incredibly shocked at the back.


    "This is the precious treasure that was born this time? This power �� is insane!"


    "This is also too fake, right? With this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, wouldn''t one make a clean sweep after going out?"


    "Yeah, whatever third-layered heaven Divine Lord, fifth-layered heaven Divine lord, whoever irks his eyes, he can simply throw that enormous mountain out and smash them accurately!"


    ...


    Chasing away the fiend powerhouses, Ye Yuan put away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and found Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping watched until his blood boiled at one side, saying in surprise, "Congratulations, Elder Ye! Obtaining this precious treasure, Elder Ye can do whatever you please in the future!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and suddenly discovered that Zheng Qi was not around, and could not help asking, "Where''s Head Elder?"


    Upon mentioning Head Elder, Ning Tianping''s eyes turned red and recounted the matter that happened previously. Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed when he heard and said, "This Gao Yuan is a bag full of tricks, Head Elder is likely not his match. You all wait here! I''ll go find them!"

 1637 Avenging the Great Enmity

    "Gao Yuan, get out for me!" Zheng Qi yelled furiously.


    His move succeeded just now, blasting Gao Yuan flying.


    But who knew that this guy rolled on the ground and disappeared!


    Zheng Qi knew that this guy was just hiding nearby. But no matter how he searched, he could not find Gao Yuan''s traces too, and could not help burning with anxiety.


    The time left for him was not much, once his body was overwhelmed, he would be incomparably weak.


    At that time, he could only be at other people''s mercy.


    Zheng Qi felt that his life force was flowing away little by little. His body was also gradually weakening, losing his earlier bravado.


    He secretly hated his incompetence, to actually fail to grasp such a good opportunity.


    Zheng Qi knew that he could not stay anymore, otherwise, he would be counter-killed by Gao Yuan.


    He gritted his teeth, his figure moving swiftly, retreating towards the way he came.


    But right at this time, Gao Yuan suddenly appeared ahead, blocking his path.


    "Heh heh, weren''t you going to kill me? In a hurry to leave for what?" Gao Yuan smiled at Zheng Qi wickedly and said.


    The moment Zheng Qi saw Gao Yuan, he could not help being greatly enraged, immediately lifting his sword and attacking, saying furiously, "I''ll see where you run!"


    Who knew that he had just moved and Gao Yuan''s figure flashed, disappearing once more.


    Zheng Qi''s expression changed. He finally realized that Gao Yuan was deliberately wasting time with him.


    But realizing it was no use either. Ever since entering this terrain, he could not find Gao Yuan''s figure anymore.


    Gao Yuan''s concealment means were very strong, Zheng Qi could not find him at all.


    Zheng Qi urged his speed to the extreme, wanting to shake Gao Yuan off. But at this time, he and Gao Yuan seemed to have reversed. Gao Yuan followed like a shadow, but also did not come into contact with him.


    Suddenly, Zheng Qi''s head went dizzy, his feet staggering, nearly falling to the ground.


    A hint of a hideous grin flashed across the corners of Gao Yuan''s mouth, throwing out a palm, swift like lightning.


    Bang!


    Zheng Qi was struck flying out sidewards, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    At this time, zheng qi''s longevity and blood essence were burned too much and was already very weak. The injuries before also broke out again, his entire person virtually unable to move.


    When Gao Yuan saw this, he grinned hideously and said, "Zheng brat! Fighting with this old man, you''re still a little too inexperienced! Even Wu Xingtang couldn''t beat this old man, how can you possibly beat me?"


    Zheng Qi spewed out a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable!"


    The current Zheng Qi could not muster up any strength at all.


    He knew that he was going to die.


    Gao Yuan laughed ferociously and smacked a palm toward Zheng Qi.


    Suddenly, Gao Yuan''s expression changed drastically, a feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart.


    Instinctively, Gao Yuan used the last of his strength and moved a little to the side.


    Rumble!


    A black mountain suddenly fell from the sky, shocking until the entire abyss was reverberating.


    "Ahh! My leg!"


    Immediately after, a shrill scream reverberated throughout the entire abyss.


    Gao Yuan clutched his thighs, large beads of sweat seeping out of his forehead, wailing incessantly.


    He dodged in time, avoiding his vitals. But the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s falling speed was too fast, he still could not avoid it completely, directly having both legs crushed.


    At this time, his both legs were already completely gone. An intense pain transmitted over, making him virtually going to asphyxiate.


    He desperately urged divine essence, wanting to recover his fleshy body, but it was no use at all.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s origin magnetic laws were too strong, not giving him the chance to recover at all.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked out, gave Gao Yuan a cold glance, and said indifferently, "No bad eh. Your reaction is pretty fast!"


    Gao Yuan looked at Ye Yuan in horror, his complexion pale, drawing a cold breath.


    "You �� How can you be so fast?" Gao Yuan said in horror.


    In his view, Ye Yuan should still be refining the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain at this time. How could he possibly refine the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain so quickly?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "That isn''t what you should worry about. What you should worry about right now is how to repay your debt!"


    Gao Yuan''s expression was very ugly, the gears in his head turning at high speed, wanting to escape the present desperate situation.


    "I �� I wanted to save my life too! Zheng Qi he �� he went mad, insisting on killing me!" Gao Yuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan came to Zheng Qi''s side, looked him over, and his brows knitted together tightly.


    "Head Elder, you were too reckless! Taking revenge isn''t done by playing with your life. What''s the point of mutual destruction?"


    As Ye Yuan said, his fingers tapped rapidly, stopping Zheng Qi''s life from continuing to flow away.


    But Zheng Qi''s face had a look of relief at this time as he said, "You �� You don''t know, Master''s debt of gratitude to me is as heavy as a mountain! This time was a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity. I �� I don''t wish to miss it. You don''t have to trouble yourself anymore. I know my body, it''s hopeless! You �� You take revenge for me!"


    Ye Yuan took out several medicinal pills and stuffed them into Zheng Qi''s mouth, saying coolly, "With me around, you can''t die! Taking revenge this sort of thing, you naturally have to do it yourself for it to feel awesome!"


    The medicinal pills entering the abdomen, a warm flow quickly surged up. Zheng Qi''s spirit immediately improved significantly.


    Zheng Qi said in surprise, "H-How can rank three medicinal pills have such medicinal effects?"


    He was incomparably shocked in his heart. With his current realm, he was totally immune to rank three medicinal pills.


    But Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills actually worked on him!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What''s given to you were all void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills, replenishing essence and nourishing the qi. Although it can''t let you completely recover, there shouldn''t be major problems for the time being."


    Not far away, when Gao Yuan saw this scene, he was beyond shocked.


    Void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills were virtually legendary existences. Ye Yuan actually took out a big pile in one go!


    Using rank three divine pills to suppress the injuries of a rank four powerhouses, only Ye Yuan dared to do so. Only he could do so.


    Gao Yuan was incomparably in despair inwardly. Both his legs were utterly crushed, his entire person''s aura feeble to the extreme.


    However, his desire to live was extremely strong. He did not wish to die here.


    Hence, he used both hands to crawl, wanting to escape from here.


    But Ye Yuan did not care about him at all and said to Zheng Qi, "How is it? Can you stand up?"


    Zheng Qi lifted his head and looked at Ye Yuan as he nodded and said, "Yeah!"


    Ye Yuan smiled, helped Zheng Qi up, and slowly walked over towards Gao Yuan.


    Seeing Gao Yuan''s miserable appearance, Zheng Qi was extremely delighted in his heart.


    "H-Haha, old fogey, you didn''t expect for this day to come, right? Over 60 thousand over years! I''ve already waited more than 60 thousand years for this day!" Zheng Qi endured the pain and said with a big laugh.


    Gao Yuan had a look of despair as he exclaimed, "Y-Younger Brother Zheng, I was wrong! I �� I beg you to let me go!"


    Zheng Qi sneered and said, "Let you go? Then who will let Master go?"


    Ye Yuan handed the Junyi Sword to Zheng Qi''s hands. Zheng Qi looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, the long sword suddenly glided by.


    Puchi!


    Gao Yuan''s pupils gradually enlarged, his life rapidly flowing away. He finally ceased breathing.


    Zheng Qi''s tears coursed down his old face as he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, "Master, did you see it? This disciple �� finally avenged you!"

 1638 Too Courteous

    "Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Facing Ye Yuan, tears flowed down Zheng Qi''s old face.


    Achieving his long-cherished wish made him feel as if a heavy weight was lifted from his mind.


    Originally, he already lost all hope. It was Ye Yuan who pulled him out of despair.


    The gratitude in his heart was already unable to use words to express. He could only say these simple four words.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder''s sincere heart, Ye Yuan admires it. This minor thing isn''t worth mentioning. This place isn''t suitable to stay for long. We''d better hurry up and leave."


    The two people returned to find Ning Tianping and the rest. Ye Yuan displayed spatial laws and brought everyone back above the cliff.


    "Finally we can see the sun! This trip is really aggrieving!"


    "Yeah, my realm was suppressed so much for no reason. It felt really awful!"


    "All thanks to Elder Ye! Otherwise, probably none of us can escape this time."


    ...


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s people all sighed with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Life and death, two different worlds; they all, these elders and protectors, had never experienced such a dangerous place before.


    It was not that those fierce beasts were powerful, but it was that their realms were being suppressed.


    This kind of powerlessness made them feel terrible, feeling despair.


    Luckily, they had Ye Yuan. That was how they escaped alive.


    Although Heavenly Eagle Imperial City also had casualties this time, compared to the other imperial cities and itinerant cultivators, their losses were the least.


    Therefore, they were grateful to Ye Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.


    The party was just about to leave when suddenly, two figures flew over swiftly. They were precisely the Song Yu and Lei Yi who left and had returned.


    The two of them joined hands and severely injured Ka Suo, but that guy still escaped.


    Returning above, they were no longer restrained by the origin magnetic field, recovering to Celestial Deity Realm.


    The two people consulted it over and turned back once more.


    Ye Yuan looked at these two people with a smile that was not a smile and said coolly, "What? The two of you want to commit highway robbery?"


    Song Yu said in a solemn voice, "Hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Otherwise, you can forget about walking out of River Eternal Imperial City! Even if we can''t do anything to do, do you think that they can escape?"


    Ye Yuan took out the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, held it in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "If you want it, then I''ll give it to you!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan lightly sent it with one hand. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain flew towards the two with immense speed.


    The two recovered to Celestial Deity Realm. If Ye Yuan did not utilize the power of laws, this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain did not pose much threat to them.


    When the two saw this, they could not help being overjoyed, falling over each other to go and catch the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    However, when they touched the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, they only felt a tremendous force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas transmitting over.


    Rumble!


    "Puhwark!"


    Caught by surprise, the two people were brutally struck, figures flying out.


    And the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain suffered the counter-shock, returning to Ye Yuan''s hands again.


    "You guys are really too courteous. Since you all don''t want it, then I''ll reluctantly accept it," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The surrounding people were all dumbfounded with shock, looking at this scene with extreme astonishment.


    Song Yu and Lei Yi were Celestial Deity powerhouses!


    Even though they were heavily injured, Celestial Deity powerhouses were Celestial Deity powerhouses, existences that could not be defeated.


    Now, they were actually smacked flying by Ye Yuan with a mountain!


    The power of this enormous mountain was simply too terrifying.


    Toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, everyone''s eyes became incomparably heated.


    Except, Ye Yuan smacked two Celestial Deity powerhouses flying with a mountain. So how could they still dare to have designs on the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?


    Song Yu and Lei Yi''s insides were in upheaval currently, a breath stifled in their chests, unable to breathe. They could not speak at all.


    They did not expect that the power of this toss could actually be so fierce.


    Careless!


    How could this punk possibly spit out the thing that he ate so easily?


    But they also did not expect that this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was actually so heavy, to actually be able to smash them, Celestial Deity powerhouses, to heavy injuries.


    Of course, this was primarily still because they were seriously wounded, their strength less than 10%.


    Right now, they piled injuries on top of injuries and virtually could not move anymore.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists toward Ling Zikun and said, "Head Elder, we''ll be going back. There is no need to see us off."


    Ling Zikun''s expression was not too good either. After all, Song Yu was their grand elder.


    It was just that he was being suppressed by Ye Yuan right now, how could he still dare to make a move?


    Hence, Ye Yuan brought Heavenly Eagle''s people, boarded the flying boat, and left under everyone''s eyes.


    ...


    The news of Ye Yuan seizing the precious treasure and returning astounded the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s upper echelons.


    Apart from this, another news that roused people''s morale came over, Second Elder Xuan Yu broke through to half-step Celestial Deity Realm!


    Clearly, this was thanks to Ye Yuan!


    The higher-ups announced that Xuan Yu would replace Ruo Xu, becoming the Pill Tower''s head elder.


    For some time, the top of the city walls showcased a big royal flag.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan returned, Xuan Yu came to visit straight away.


    "Huhu, congratulations, Head Elder!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    Xuan Yu scolded with a laugh, "You brat, still giving me this crap! If not for you, it''s impossible for me to break through too."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s all on Head Elder whose talent surpasses people. What has it to do with me? However �� Second Elder is probably unresigned to it, right?"


    Xuan Yu sighed and said, "Isn''t that so? This old man doesn''t mind about empty reputation, but Ruo Xu is different. These days, he claimed to be sick and didn''t come out, practically in a state of semi-retirement already."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If he didn''t react at all, then you''d have to be more careful. As for now, he can''t play any tricks either."


    Xuan Yu nodded his head. Regarding these things, he was really not adept at it.


    But he did not come today for this matter. Hence, he furrowed his brows and said, "Zheng Qi actually used Crazed Sword Evanescent this move. Now, his realm regressed, longevity greatly damaged. I �� I''m also at a loss on what to do!"


    Ye Yuan used rank three divine pills and preserved Zheng Qi''s life. But it could not let him recover back to new.


    Currently, Zheng Qi''s realm directly fell to the initial-stage Divine Lord Realm. Furthermore, his lifespan did not have much remaining. He was already a cripple.


    Xuan Yu had just become head elder, this naturally became a responsibility that fell on him.


    But Zheng Qi''s losses this time were extremely great. Ordinary medicinal pills had no effect on him at all. Even if Xuan Yu had broken through his realm, he was unable to refine the necessary pills as well.


    Refining peak rank four divine pills were not like refining rank three divine pills. For Xuan Yu to want to refine high-grade medicinal pills, it was virtually impossible.


    Hence, he came to seek help from Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan also sighed when he heard that and said, "I''m unable to refine rank four divine pills right now, and am also at a loss on what to do! I''ll impart to you some methods. You only need to preserve Head Elder Zheng Qi''s life first. As for the rest, better wait for me to break through to the Divine Lord Realm before talking."


    Xuan Yu''s eyes lit up and he said, "Going out this time, you found the opportunity to breakthrough?"


    Ye Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head and said, "Honestly, I don''t have any clues."


    Xuan Yu got a shock when he heard that. Normally, with Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying talent, breaking through to Divine Lord Realm should not be difficult.


    Even if he was temporarily unable to break through, it was also impossible to keep on not having clues to breakthrough!


    "How is this possible? The cultivation method that you cultivate should be very powerful, breaking through to Divine Lord Realm should be something that happens naturally without additional effort!" Xuan Yu said.

 1639 The Fallen Genius

    "Elder Ye, you''re back?" Ye Yuan just entered the inner-city and ran into Lin Dong with a few friends. Lin Dong smiled as he greeted Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance, slightly nodded his head, and walked by, and did not have the intention of responding to him.


    Lin Dong was verbally respectful, but his face did not have any hint of respect at all.


    On the contrary, his face was full of mockery and gloating over others'' misfortune.


    His few friends were the same as him, their faces being full of disdain.


    Seeing Ye Yuan ignore him, Lin Dong smiled coldly and said to his friends, "Being cocky for what? Does he still think that he''s that genius elder? Can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm, and yet to also dare proclaim himself to be a genius. Truly laughable!"


    "Heh heh, can''t break through to the Divine Lord Realm, whatever genius he is, simply dog fart!"


    "I heard that there are already rumors upstairs, saying to abolish his position as an elder! Heh, once it becomes true, that will be avenging grievances if there are, taking revenge if there''s grudge!"


    "He still thinks that he''s the imperial city''s upper echelon figure, putting on airs in front of us!"


    "Hahaha!"


    ...


    These people talked very loudly and did not have the intention of avoiding Ye Yuan at all.


    Clearly, they did not think anything of Ye Yuan, this elder, anymore.


    In a twinkle, 300 years had already passed since returning from the Fiend Calling Ridge!


    During these 300 years, Ye Yuan had attempted no idea how many methods, but he still could not find the key to creating the fourth layer cultivation method.


    This door was seemingly thoroughly shut for him.


    Ye Yuan visualized the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, attempting to break through with Alchemy Dao, but he gained nothing.


    After even going for closed-seclusion he could not find the way, Ye Yuan frequently went out alone to train and even refined a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill to consume.


    But all of the efforts were akin to a rock sinking into the ocean, not having any effect at all.


    Back then, Ye Yuan coming roaring into existence shocked the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Even the Celestial Deity powerhouses upstairs made an exception and promoted Ye Yuan to Pill Tower elder.


    For some time, it was incredibly shocking.


    Everyone would not doubt that Ye Yuan would become a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse very soon!


    However, same as how everyone could not imagine Ye Yuan''s terrifying strength, they also did not think that Ye Yuan was unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm for 300 years.


    To a mediocre talent, 300 years to break through to Divine Lord Realm, that was a normal phenomenon.


    But to Ye Yuan, 300 years were far too long!


    Especially when Ye Yuan was a large tree where the winds howled around the highest peaks, practically everyone''s eyes were fixed on him.


    Now, this kind of questioning voice, they were currently getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, that was why Lin Dong they all dared to disregard Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had just returned from training outside and heard the news that they were going to abolish his elder position.


    He believed that this was not a groundless rumor, otherwise, Lin Dong would not dare to be so arrogant as well.


    However, he did not mind.


    The position of elder might be extremely respected to others, but to him, he did not have much hesitation to leave the post.


    His horizons would never stop on the position of a measly elder.


    Regarding Lin Dong their provocation, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care as well, leaving straightaway.


    But when Lin Dong they all saw Ye Yuan remain silent, they even thought that Ye Yuan was scared, and became even more brazen.


    They actually chased next to Ye Yuan and continued to ridicule.


    "Goodness me, our great genius Ye actually fled in disgrace! Hahaha ��"


    "We, these mediocre talents, already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm. But Elder Ye who''s called the number one genius is actually unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, really making people die of laughter!"


    "Heh, the imperial city let him be elder because they were certain that he could break through to the Divine Lord Realm. But now, it seemed like people at the upstairs misjudged the person!"


    ...


    Everyone was just talking when a powerful aura suddenly descended. An old man suddenly appeared on the streets, using an icy-cold gaze to look at Lin Dong and the rest.


    Lin Dong and the rest seemed to have dropped into ice, their words abruptly ceasing.


    "A-Ancestor!" Lin Dong and the rest said stammeringly.


    "Scram!" Coldfeather said in a cold voice.


    "Y-Yes, Ancestor!"


    Lin Dong and the rest did not expect that Coldfeather would actually show up here and were frightened until they wet their pants in terror, escaping like flying.


    Coldfeather looked at Ye Yuan and said in anger from failing to live up to expectations, "You''re at any rate a Pill Tower elder too. How can you allow these bastards to bully freely?"


    In these 300 years, Celestial Deity Realm seemed to have been enlightened, breaking through all the way to half-step Celestial Deity Realm. It was truly thick accumulations erupting.


    Now, Coldfeather''s status in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City naturally rose along with the general situation.


    Coldfeather did not like these mundane affairs. But presently, Zheng Qi was half-dead, so Coldfeather took up the responsibility of the Martial Tower''s affairs.


    This world was realistic. One should not look at how Coldfeather''s seniority was high. If his realm kept on remaining stagnant and did not advance, he would only be flaunting his seniority. No one would care about him at all.


    But now, there was naturally no one who dared to underestimate him.


    Ye Yuan looked at Coldfeather and said with a smile, "Isn''t it said that my position of elder is about to be gone?"


    Coldfeather froze, heaved a sigh, and said, "You keep on being unable to break through, so it''s hard to shut everybody''s mouths! This matter, this old man also strongly opposed it, but those two fellows also had their concerns. You shouldn''t blame them."


    Ye Yuan knew those two fellows in Coldfeather''s words were Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s two Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    These two people, one had even higher seniority than Coldfeather, the other was in the same generation with Coldfeather.


    This was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, so it was naturally their words that counts the most.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "What''s Brother Coldfeather saying? Being an elder is good; being a mortal is fine too. They are merely empty titles. If cultivators of my generation don''t have strength, everything is naturally empty talk."


    Coldfeather was rather surprised at Ye Yuan''s reaction. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so open-minded.


    One had to know, the resources that elders enjoyed were not what ordinary people could compare to.


    To martial artists, what was the most important?


    Wasn''t it still cultivation resources!


    Coldfeather let out another sigh and said, "I really don''t understand, talent like yours is absolutely the number one person in accomplishments that surpasses ancient and modern times. Even if you break through to the True God Realm in the future, even the Empyrean Realm, I don''t find it the slightest bit strange! But you keep failing to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, it really perplexes me!"


    Coldfeather knew that the predecessor who comprehended second-layered heaven spatial laws, his strength was already unimaginable at present.


    Ye Yuan only used 100 years and comprehended second-layered heaven laws, his talent was absolutely not beneath that predecessor''s talent!


    However, why was he unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm?


    Opening up a small world might be impossible to achieve for life to others, but to Ye Yuan, it should be effortless!


    According to Coldfeather''s opinion, Ye Yuan should have broken through within 50 years.


    But over 300 years had passed. Ye Yuan still did not have any improvement.


    Therefore, he could not understand it no matter how he thought about it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The cultivation method that I cultivate is a little special, breaking through requires an opportunity. This opportunity keeps not on coming, so I''m unable to break through from beginning to end as well."


    Coldfeather''s expression was ugly as he said, "Really no idea what kind of cultivation method, to actually be so freakish. Even a genius like you isn''t able to break through! Forget it, there will be an elders meeting three days later. Some people are probably going to make a fuss about your matters. You''d best be more careful."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just an elder position. It''s not a big deal."

 1640 Besieged on All Sides

    Backing out of the Selfless Realm, Ye Yuan''s eyes revealed a complicated look.


    "Senior, it looks like �� there''s only this last path that can be taken!" Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said to Dustless.


    Presently, Ye Yuan could already enter the Selfless Realm at any time.


    However, under the Selfless Realm, Ye Yuan came up with various methods many times and was still unable to create the fourth layer cultivation method.


    Over these 300 years, the methods that Ye Yuan derived were no less than several tens of thousands. But not a single one could work.


    Dustless nodded and said, "It can only be like this! These few years, you''ve attempted countless times before, wanting to open up an inner world, but it just doesn''t work. Could it be that this fourth layer cultivation method really doesn''t need to open up an inner world?"


    Ye Yuan''s journey of the heart these few years, Dustless naturally took it into his sights.


    But the final result, Dustless was also very perplexed.


    These few years, Ye Yuan had always been attempting to find ways to open up an inner world, but it would not work no matter what.


    His divine sea seemed to be sealed, unable to open up a gap no matter what.


    Regarding repeated failures, Ye Yuan had long already achieved being rippleless like a dried-up well. He said, "I have a feeling that I might really have gone the wrong direction these few years. It''s just that no opening up an inner world, how this path should be taken makes me very confused."


    Dustless said, "This old man is unable to imagine it. Without opening up an inner world, how can one break through to the Divine Lord Realm? The might of the Divine Lord Realm lies in world power. Without an inner world, where''s the world power? Even if you break through to the Divine Lord Realm, how can you fight with powerhouses at the same realm?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This is also the problem that has always troubled me. Most likely, the key to breaking through lies here!"


    Dustless heaved a sigh and said, "Right now, you can only go to the Heavenspan Mountain. However, the Heavenspan Mountain isn''t some otherworldly paradise. Your strength going there is still rather insufficient."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. No matter how tough this hurdle is, I have to make it through too!"


    ...


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the hall, the atmosphere inside immediately became strange.


    Originally, Ye Yuan was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s rising star, gloriously resplendent, no one dared to slight him.


    But now, the halo of a genius already faded. People''s perception toward Ye Yuan was also quietly undergoing change.


    In this world where the strong reigned supreme, weaklings could only be eliminated.


    These few years, Ye Yuan used medicinal pills to groom no idea how many powerhouses for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Even new Divine Lord Realm powerhouses also had close to 100 more out of nowhere in these 300 years!


    And this number was virtually several times of normal circumstances.


    These few years, Ye Yuan left behind hundreds of new pill formulas for the Pill Tower. It could be said to benefit all generations.


    Ning Siyu, Lu Yi, and the rest, their Alchemy Dao strength advanced by leaps and bounds under Ye Yuan''s grooming.


    Ye Yuan revamped spatial laws anew for the Martial Tower, making it possible to comprehend spatial laws, similarly blessing for ages to come.


    A period of 300 years might not be that long to a Deity Realm powerhouse, but Ye Yuan''s contributions to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was what these elders were unable to compare to.


    But this was no use!


    Not being able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, Ye Yuan, this Three-star Alchemy God, was far less significant to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already.


    Above the high hall, an old man sat at the top, looking somewhat fleeting and ephemeral.


    Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses rarely showed face. Ye Yuan had lived for 400 over years in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, it was still his first time seeing the Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse here.


    And this time, he also truly felt the might of Celestial Deity Realm martial artists!


    Over 300 years ago, the Celestial Deity powerhouses Ye Yuan met at the Fiend Calling Ridge had their realms suppressed. The pressure brought on him was far from as great.


    Even returning above later, they were also seriously injured, their strength less than 10%.


    This Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse was called He Chong, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s grand elder.


    "I pay respects to Grand Elder!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said to He Chong.


    He Chong nodded slightly and said, "Sit then."


    Coldfeather and Xuan Yu looked at Ye Yuan with complicated expressions, having unspeakable melancholy in their hearts.


    The current situation was already not what they could control.


    It was not just Ruo Xu their lineage''s people were kicking up a fuss. Right now, even the elders on their own side were also calling Ye Yuan, this elder, into question.


    After all, a genius who could not break through to the Divine Lord Realm was nothing!


    When all of the elders were seated, He Chong slowly said, "Ruo Xu, today''s elders meeting, you preside over it."


    Ruo Xu was delighted when he heard it and said, "Yes, Grand Elder!"


    While talking, Ruo Xu was rather excited.


    Back then, he utterly lost his face at Ye Yuan''s hands. Until now, he still had not recovered.


    After many years, he finally found an opportunity to trample Ye Yuan away. So how could he not be excited?


    As for Ling Zikun''s matter, it was merely a minor incident[1].


    Now, many years had already passed, he naturally would not keep it in mind.


    Ruo Xu swept a glance around and said, "Convening everyone here today, I presume everybody has a score in their hearts. Right now, quite a number of people in the city have quite a bit of veiled criticism towards one of our elders, thinking that his strength isn''t adequate to take on the role of elder. Originally, this was just a small number of people commenting. But in the course of time, the strength of this elder of ours did not advance an inch. The people talking behind his back also became more and more. As a last resort, the elders meeting this time needs to be conducted. So everybody should talk about their own views first."


    While talking, Ruo Xu signaled several confidants with his eyes. Those few elders immediately understood.


    An elder spoke up, "There''s no denying that this elder had once amazed us! But, he has also deluded us, making us have a misconception, thinking that he can definitely soar to the heavens in one bound, even bringing our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to a higher level. But looking at it now, everything is a false impression! Letting a person who can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm be an elder, this is simply the imperial city''s shame!"


    The moment he finished talking, another elder followed up, "It''s really too ironic! My disciple only used 30 years and broke through from grand completion Origin Deity to first-layered heaven Divine Lord. This elder used a full 300 years, but couldn''t even breakthrough to half-step Divine Lord. How can this kind of mediocre talent take on the position of elder?"


    Xuan Yu furrowed his brows and said in a solemn voice, "Huang Wenhao, do you want face saying this or not? Don''t you forget how your disciple broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!"


    Huang Wenhao did not dare to rebut Xuan Yu, but said, "Head Elder, your words are wrong. Ye Yuan helped my disciple refine the Vastsun Universe Pill, but his talent is already there. Even if he didn''t consume the medicinal pill, he''d break through in at most 50 years too. Not like some people, unable to break through in even 300 years!"


    Xuan Yu could not help choking when he heard that and was actually somewhat exasperated.


    Huang Wenhao''s words made him unable to refute.


    Coldfeather''s gaze swept around and he said in a cold voice, "You ungrateful things! These few years, how many of you didn''t benefit from Ye Yuan? Now, throwing a rock down the well, it''s not even veiled at all!"


    [1] Referring to him stepping up for Ruo Xu''s disciple when he was getting rekt by Gu Han.

 1641 Bidding Farewell

    Coldfeather''s words made quite a few elders all secretly lower their heads, faces revealing looks of shame.


    The elders present who had received Ye Yuan''s grace were really not in the minority.


    After all, Ye Yuan was a freakish existence among Three-star Alchemy Gods, who had once overpowered Second Elder Ruo Xu.


    These elders, whose family did not have a few disciples that they were proud of?


    Seeking pills for disciples that they were proud of, this was something quite normal.


    It was just that no matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he was merely a Three-star Alchemy God too.


    They could be grateful for Ye Yuan''s favor for some time, but it was impossible to be grateful for life.


    If no one mentioned it, they would even forget about this.


    Coldfeather suddenly mentioning this made quite a few people feel ashamed.


    Ruo Xu saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly spoke up, "Martial Granduncle''s words are a little inappropriate. Everybody here isn''t dropping a rock down the well. We''re just discussing the matter as it is. Everyone is just discussing about Ye Yuan''s position as an elder and not about doing anything to him. After all, an Origin Deity Realm serving as an elder doesn''t conform with the rules to begin with!"


    With Ruo Xu saying so, everyone hurriedly concurred.


    "Yeah, yeah, even if Ye Yuan he doesn''t serve as an elder, he''s still a disciple of our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!"


    "With Ye Yuan''s means, he can also live very comfortably in the imperial city. After all, everyone needs rank three divine pills, right?"


    "It''s not that we don''t cherish human relationship, but that the indignant voices in the Pill Tower and Martial Tower right now are too many. So there''s no helping it."


    ...


    Coldfeather gave a cold snort, angered until he no longer spoke.


    He also knew that what these elders said was the truth.


    It was just that if Ye Yuan lost the position of elder, his days in the future would probably be difficult.


    Comfortable?


    Afraid that it was impossible.


    Coldfeather was rescued by Ye Yuan, so he was very grateful toward him to begin with.


    Later, Ye Yuan also helped Zheng Qi to kill Gao Yuan, avenging the enmity of his disciple, Wu Xingtang. Coldfeather viewed Ye Yuan even more in a different light.


    Seeing Ye Yuan encounter difficulty, he was very upset in his heart.


    At this time, an elder on the Martial Tower''s side suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Origin Deity Realm serving as an elder, it''s indeed inappropriate! I feel that Ye Yuan''s position of elder should be taken away for the time being. If he can break through to the Divine Lord Realm, restoring the position of elder isn''t too late!"


    The moment this person spoke, everyone burst into an uproar.


    In everyone''s view, the Ning Family''s relationship with Ye Yuan should be very close. Nobody would have expected Ning Zhiyuan to viciously give Ye Yuan a push at this juncture.


    Xuan Yu was also greatly surprised and said angrily, "Ning Zhiyuan!"


    Ning Zhiyuan was unmoved and said coolly, "Head Elder, we, as the imperial city''s elders, naturally have to consider the development of the imperial city. The Ning Family is indeed close to Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan this elder has already affected the imperial city''s normal operations! I feel that we should take away his position as an elder!"


    Ruo Xu had a broad smile on his face. Now, apart from Xuan Yu and Coldfeather, virtually no one stood on Ye Yuan''s side.


    Ye Yuan as an elder, this had definitely come to an end.


    Coldfeather also did not expect that the matter was already serious to this kind of degree.


    He was just about to fly off the handle, but he saw Ye Yuan smile faintly and said, "I feel that Elder Ning''s words make sense. This Ye has been unable to break through for a long time. It''s indeed not suitable to serve the position of elder anymore. Today, Grand Elder is present, so I''ll resign from my position of elder."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone dazed, including Ruo Xu.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan would struggle fiercely on just grounds. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would directly take a step back.


    One had to know, this position of elder signified far too many things.


    Once resigned, he would not have such an easy time in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City anymore.


    Coldfeather frowned and said, "Ye Yuan, what are you messing around for?!"


    Xuan Yu also said, "Ye Yuan, this isn''t a trifling matter!"


    Ye Yuan gave them a glance gratefully and said with a smile, "The position of an elder is merely fleeting clouds to me. This Ye still has more important things to do. Coming to the elders meeting today, this Ye is also here to bid farewell to everybody."


    The moment these words came out, even He Chong was greatly surprised too. He said, "You''re leaving Heavenly Eagle Imperial City?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "This Ye keeps failing to break through, so I plan on going out to train for a while, and seek the opportunity to break through."


    He Chong also nodded when he heard that and said, "Not bad, young people have the fortitude, going out to broaden your experiences is also good."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s calm appearance, Ruo Xu had a feeling of punching onto cotton.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan really did not care about this position of elder.


    Suddenly, he thought of a matter and said in a solemn voice, "Ye Yuan, you want to go, you can. But you must leave behind the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    He Chong''s gaze sharpened and started flickered incessantly.


    The prowess of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, he had long heard of it.


    It was said that this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain''s grade was undetermined, with limitless potential.


    Ye Yuan relied on the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and killed three ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses. Its power was evident at a glance.


    But Ruo Xu''s words made his heart somewhat palpitate with excitement.


    The moment Coldfeather heard, he was greatly enraged and said, "Ruo Xu punk, what do you mean? 300 years ago, Ye Yuan overcame the raging tides alone, saving the lives of over a dozen elders and deacons. But now, you want to covet his Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"


    Ruo Xu said, "Back then, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was born, obtaining the treasure was everybody''s credit. But Ye Yuan took the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain as his own! It''s also useless for this old man to want the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. It''s just that if Grand Elder and City Lord obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, then it will be akin to adding wings to a tiger. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s strength will get even stronger as well! Moreover, Ye Yuan''s strength is so weak, bringing such a precious treasure on him, if it gets stranded outside, wouldn''t it be a huge loss to my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City?"


    Ruo Xu''s words were said to He Chong. He Chong also fell silent and did not speak when he heard it.


    Clearly, he was moved.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Ruo Xu, you''re really shameless enough! Natural treasures are obtained by those fated. Back then, I snatched this treasure from the hands of three Celestial Deity powerhouses. According to the imperial city''s rules, it''s my private property to begin with! Now, you''re asking for it, where''s the logic?"


    He Chong''s heart turned cold when he heard it. Ye Yuan said it lightly, but he discerned it.


    Ye Yuan was telling him that for him to be able to obtain this treasure from the hands of three Celestial Deity powerhouses, he naturally had the ability to protect it!


    Even if you all want to forcefully rob it, it would not do either!


    For an Origin Deity Realm martial artist to dare be so unbridled, this was a very laughable thing in the first place.


    But these veiled words uttered by Ye Yuan were really not impossible!


    The matter back then, he also knew a little bit.


    The fiend race''s Celestial Deity powerhouse made a move and ambushed them. Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan had died. However, not only did he not die, he even obtained the treasure in the end.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan had the means to protect himself.


    With this trump card, he did not fear others, even Celestial Deity powerhouses!


    Actually, He Chong was also very perplexed. With Ye Yuan''s terrifying talent, why would he be stranded in front of Divine Lord Realm?"


    There was likely something that he did not know involved!


    He Chong had a feeling that once Ye Yuan broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, he would probably be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, becoming a heaven-shocking powerhouse!


    Only after weighing and considering things again and again did He Chong slowly say, "Ye Yuan toiled hard and rendered great merits. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain belongs to him in the first place, don''t mention it again any longer after this!"


    Ruo Xu could not help suffocating when he heard that. Grand Elder actually took a step back!

 1642 Pursui

    Ye Yuan''s departure was somewhat shabby. Apart from Xuan Yu''s lineage, Coldfeather, and Zheng Qi, there were no others who saw him off.


    Coldfeather patted Ye Yuan''s shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Kid, you can do it. This old man is waiting for the day you leap over the dragon gate."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''ve never doubted this before."


    Coldfeather laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Fine lad, such a composed young man like you, it''s still my first time seeing. However, this departure has a long way to go, you have to be more careful!"


    Ordinary geniuses, if they were stuck for so many years at a realm, they would definitely not want to live in and abandon themselves to despair.


    But Coldfeather completely could not see this kind of negative emotion on Ye Yuan.


    He was still positive and optimistic, giving people a calm and composed feeling.


    This also gave Coldfeather and the rest a lot of confidence, making them feel that Ye Yuan could definitely break through.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Rest assured, this Ye still has some means to protect myself. You guys just quietly wait for the news of success. It''s just that, I''m unable to treat Head Elder Zheng Qi for the time being."


    Zheng Qi was currently very under the weather, but he definitely could manage to hang on to his life.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was leaving, Zheng Qi still insisted on coming to see him off.


    Zheng Qi smiled and said, "If not for you, this old man wouldn''t even be able to save this remnant life. Now that Master''s great enmity is avenged, this old man no longer has any attachments in my heart. You rest assured and go. Even if this old man holds on, I''ll also have to hold out until the day you return!"


    Seeing that Zheng Qi''s mental state was pretty good, Ye Yuan also smiled and nodded.


    At one side, Ning Siyu was very unhappy, and muttered to herself, "Ning Tianping that fellow is really ungrateful. Clearly agreed to come and send off, but he actually didn''t."


    Over 300 years had passed, Ning Siyu also broke through to the Divine Lord Realm already now, becoming a Four-star Alchemy God.


    This was also the point that was denounced by everyone.


    Ning Siyu was also considered half a disciple of Ye Yuan. Now, even the apprentice broke through, but the master still remained at the Origin Deity Realm. It was simply incurring the ridicule of experts.


    But Ning Siyu herself did not have this kind of thought. She was very grateful to Ye Yuan.


    Without Ye Yuan, it was impossible for her to break through so fast, and even less possible to have her present attainments in Alchemy Dao presently.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If Heaven wishes it to rain or your mother to remarry, there is no way to stop it. For you guys to be able to come, I''m already very grateful."


    A friend in need is a friend indeed!


    Clearly, these people in front of Ye Yuan were his precious friends in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    But Ning Tianping not coming was somewhat outside of Ye Yuan''s expectations.


    With his understanding of Ning Tianping, he should not be so snobbish.


    Unless he concealed his character too well.


    But a young master like Ning Tianping should not be so profoundly shrewd.


    "Alright, although you escort a guest a thousand miles, the parting comes at last. Everyone, please return."


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists toward everyone, bade farewell, and left.


    ...


    In the Martial Tower, two people saw Ye Yuan off with their eyes.


    "Brother Zuo, you are so optimistic about Ye Yuan?" He Chong asked the middle-aged man beside him.


    To be able to make He Chong call Brother Zuo, this person was naturally that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s City Lord, Zuo Shujie, whose movements and traces were elusive and secretive.


    Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "This boy is definitely not someone who belongs in a shallow pond! What does a momentary setback count for? The one who has the last laugh is the true winner."


    He Chong said in surprise, "Looking at his appearance, he has probably already exhausted his potential. Breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm will likely be very difficult. Geniuses like this are also not in the minority. In contrast, I still feel holding the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain in hand is a little more reliable."


    Zuo Shujie looked at He Chong, shook his head, and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Oh, you, take a long-term view! Do you think that the treasure on Ye Yuan is only an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"


    He Chong''s expression changed and he said, "Oh yeah! It''s because I wasn''t sure, that''s why I didn''t act."


    Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "Luckily, you didn''t make a move. Otherwise, I''d have to personally take action to stop you!"


    He Chong said in surprise, "Why is that?"


    Zuo Shujie said, "Back then, when this child was still at the outer city, he attracted my attention. To have such terrifying talent in alchemy and martial arts, the secrets on Ye Yuan are definitely far more than just an Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! And he''s greatly different from ordinary young geniuses. He''s level-headed, wise and farsighted, take every conceivable possibility into account, and is very broad-minded. Such a person, his mind is extremely tough, virtually equipped with all the conditions to become a peerless powerhouse! With his character, how could he easily put himself in danger?"


    The more He Chong listened, the more alarmed he got, and he said, "Your meaning is?"


    Even though the two people were Celestial Deity powerhouses, in terms of wit and cunningness, he was far lacking compared to Zuo Shujie.


    Zuo Shujie said, "Back then, when this seat issued the edict, having him become a Pill Tower elder. If he refused, it means that he doesn''t have the strength to protect himself. He possessed a massive secret on him. Once he has covetous eyes cast on him by Celestial Deity powerhouses, wouldn''t it incur a deadly calamity? But if he agrees, what does that mean?"


    He Chong''s entire body trembled and said, "It means that he has the strength to protect himself without fear of us!"


    Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "At least �� we can''t kill him! A person like him, once he can''t be killed, the consequences will be very terrifying. That Wu Meng Capital City''s Qin Xiao might be our future outcome!"


    He Chong came to a realization, listening until he broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "So that''s how it is! It''s still Brother Zuo who considers things long and far! But since that''s the case, there were many rumors floating around in the city. Why didn''t you speak up to stop it, or even urge Ye Yuan to stay?"


    Zuo Shujie said, "It''s true that he''s a genius, but he''s just a genius who hasn''t grown up. Keeping him behind will only harm him. Moreover, with his personality, even if we want to keep him, we probably can''t keep him behind either. Right now, the Divine Lord Realm is clearly a massive hurdle placed in front of him. Crossing it, it''s a vast expanse of flat land. Can''t cross it, fade into the crowd! However, through these few years of observation, I still have some confidence in him."


    ...


    Ye Yuan did not know that Zuo Shujie''s appraisal of him was actually so high.


    Traveling swiftly along the way, he already traveled as far as a million years.


    Inside a dense forest, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, "This place is very out-of-the-way, it''s precisely a fine place to kill and rob a person of his property. You guys not showing yourselves, when are you waiting for?"


    He did not deploy the Purple Extreme Hall along the way, because the moment he left the city, he discovered several tails following behind.


    Sure enough, the moment the voice faded, four figures dashed out of the dense forest, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.


    A third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse who was in the lead said with a cold laugh, "Heh, well-deserving of being an elder! We really underestimated you!"


    This person, Ye Yuan knew him. He was called Hao Lian, a Martial Tower''s high-level protector, and also Lin Dong''s good friend.


    Presumably, the pursuit this time was likely linked to Lin Dong.


    "A third-layered heaven Divine Lord, three second-layered heaven Divine Lords, you guys really think highly of this Ye!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Hao Liang had an appearance of cornering Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Who doesn''t know that even though Elder Ye is at the Origin Deity Realm, he has the strength to cut down first-layered heaven Divine Lords? Dealing with you, no matter how seriously we take it, it''s not overboard too! But this lineup now, killing you should suffice."


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Isn''t there still one more? Why don''t you have him come out?"


    The moment these words came out, Hao Liang four people''s faces could not help changing.

 1643 Tired of Living

    "Kid, you''re still a little inexperienced to want to scare us! If you''re sensible, hurry up and hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. We''ll make it painless for you."


    Hao Liang''s expression changed. Only four of them came, so where did this fifth person come from?


    Did this boy make up a non-existence person, wanting to scare them, and then take the opportunity to escape?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Turns out that you''re aiming for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Giving you the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, can you afford to enjoy it?"


    Hao Liang snorted coldly and said, "That doesn''t need you to worry about! Sure enough, want to scam us, is it? Heh heh, where''s the fifth person from?"


    Hao Liang surveyed the four directions and discovered that no one came out, and became even more certain of his own guess.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised too. He even thought that these five people were together, looks like he guessed wrong.


    Ye Yuan turned to a direction and said to a large tree coolly, "Still not showing yourself, do you want me to invite you out?"


    Finished talking, a figure indeed floated down from the treetop.


    "Ning Tianping!" Hao Liang cried out in shock.


    He did not expect that there was actually really a fifth person existing.


    Ye Yuan was similarly very surprised. He did not expect that this fifth person was actually Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping looked at Ye Yuan and said with a helpless look, "Your Excellency, I originally wanted to ambush Hao Liang. Now, being called out by you, what am I going to do?"


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a laugh, "Just clay chickens and pottery dogs, why is there a need to sneak attack?"


    Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "I knew that Your Excellency had the means. These few fools even thought that Your Excellency is easy to bully!"


    These two people chorused together, not taking Hao Liang four people seriously at all.


    Hao Liang was furious!


    "Ye Yuan, you''re no longer an elder now. Do you really think that you''re impressive? A mere Ning Tianping, could he still save you?" Hao Liang said with a cold snort.


    Ning Tianping looked at Hao Liang and said with a disdainful look, "His Excellency''s means, you can never imagine it! Even if I don''t come, do you think that you can kill him?"


    Hao Liang smiled coldly and said, "What a joke! A measly Origin Deity Realm, even if he knows spatial laws, could it be he still wants to escape alive from the hands of us four? Leave Ning Tianping to me, the three of you, kill Ye Yuan for me!"


    "Yes!" the three people answered, swarming over toward Ye Yuan.


    While Hao Liang''s figure moved, charging over toward Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping was not the least bit afraid, raising his sword and attacking!


    He knew that the medicinal effect of the Vastsun Universe Pill already passed.


    A rank three divine pill could not possibly guarantee him for life.


    But dealing with Hao Liang, he was still brimming with confidence.


    The two people''s strengths were evenly matched, unable to determine the victor for some time.


    While the other three second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses already surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle with a triangle formation.


    "Attack!"


    The three people cooperated tacitly, making a move at the same time, attacking Ye Yuan in three directions.


    To an Origin Deity Realm martial artist, this was virtually a certain death situation.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of dodging and did not even make a move.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out.


    The horrifying energy undulation made Hao Liang''s side palpitate too.


    A second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse was directly blown flying.


    Ye Yuan''s figure drifted out several thousand feet away.


    Bang!


    That second-layered heaven Divine Lord''s corpse landed heavily on the ground. It was as if a heavy hammer struck on everyone''s heart.


    The corpse was already a blurry mess of flesh and blood, without any breath. Clearly, he was blasted to death.


    Clank!


    Hao Liang and Ning Tianping separated upon contact. He looked at Ye Yuan and said in alarm, "You �� You''re mad! You actually �� You actually detonated a divine lord mystic treasure!"


    There''s a world within divine lord mystic treasures, forming a region of space on its own, containing world power.


    Once divine lord mystic treasures were destroyed, the world power exploding within an extremely small radius, the power was extremely great.


    Even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses would also be certain to die when blasted in close-range by a detonated divine lord mystic treasure.


    This second-layered heaven Divine Lord was the nearest to Ye Yuan just now, Ye Yuan directly detonated a divine lord mystic treasure.


    It was just that divine lord mystic treasures were extremely precious. Hao Liang only barely managed to obtain one after breaking through to become a third-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    This kind of thing, not reaching life and death juncture, who was willing to detonate?


    Furthermore, without a convenient weapon, one''s combat strength would also be greatly diminished.


    The poor second-layered heaven Divine Lord died until he did not know how he died.


    The other two second-layered heaven Divine Lords also arrived successively, suffering varying degrees of injuries.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Being able to kill people is enough, why is it crazy?"


    Hao Liang could not help suffocating when he heard that. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually do such a crazy action.


    "Humph! So what even if you detonate a divine lord mystic treasure? Could it be that you still have a second divine lord mystic treasure? If you have the capability, detonate the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    Hao Liang laughed coldly, but very soon, his smile turned stiff on his face, his expression ugly to the extreme, his eyeballs popping out.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan take out another divine lord mystic treasure unhurriedly and started playing in his hand.


    "Pfft! Hahaha! Hao Liang, I told you just now. His Excellency''s means are what you can never imagine!" Ning Tianping seriously could not hold it in and said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan said with an amused look, "I don''t have much, just a lot of divine lord mystic treasures. Uh �� blasting you guys dead eight or ten times shouldn''t be a problem."


    Hao Liang said with a look of disbelief, "You keep bragging! Do you think that you can use this to scare me? When did divine lord mystic treasures become common wares?"


    Just finished talking, Ye Yuan took out another divine lord mystic treasure and said with a grin, "Do you believe me or not? Still don''t believe me?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan took out another divine lord mystic treasure.


    Hao Liang completely broke down!


    He strove for no idea how many years for a divine lord mystic treasure.


    But this brat who was not even Divine Lord Realm actually took three out all at once!


    No, wait, counting that one that detonated just now, he actually had four!


    What was wrong with this world?


    When those two second-layered heaven Divine Lords saw this scene, they were overwhelmed by terror.


    It was still their first time experiencing the explosion of divine lord mystic treasures. The power just now made them still have lingering fear in their hearts until now.


    "W-We''re not playing anymore!"


    Finished talking, the two people''s figures moved, speeding madly into the distance.


    They were already badly frightened. Another explosion and they definitely would not have bones left.


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled slightly and his figure suddenly vanished.


    Rumble!


    Another explosion, two second-layered heaven Divine Lords were directly blown into smithereens.


    The explosion this time was even fiercer than the previous one.


    When Hao Liang saw this scene, he was frightened until his legs turned soft, nearly kneeling down on the ground.


    The power of this explosion, even he also did not dare to face it head-on!


    "You �� You''re really a madman! Even if you have quite a few divine lord mystic treasures, you also don''t need to be like this, right? They �� They already decided to escape."


    Hao Liang even had the heart to cry, this brat was simply a demon.


    Now, he wished to give himself several tight slaps!


    How was this him killing people to rob their property? This was simply him being an old person eating arsenic, courting death!

 1644 Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate

    "There''s no helping it. This little lord lacks many things except divine lord mystic treasures. Now, you come and taste the explosion of divine lord mystic treasures too."


    Ye Yuan smiled, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    Hao Liang''s hairs stood on end, directly displaying his movement technique, and was about to leave.


    But how could Ning Tianping give him the chance to escape?


    It was only to see his figure flashed, already blocking his path.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan already arrived!


    A horrifying energy instantly bloomed. Hao Liang mustered up all the divine essence in his body, wanting to resist this explosion.


    Rumble!


    A horrifying energy exploded once more, Hao Liang''s body directly flew out backward.


    Not far away, Ye Yuan''s and Ning Tianping''s figures appeared.


    Ning Tianping''s face had a pale complexion. In that instant just now, he practically thought that he was going to die.


    If not for Ye Yuan bringing him away, he probably would not be any better than Hao Liang.


    Even though the flying speed of a third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse was extremely fast, and he could also utilize shallow spatial laws, Ye Yuan was able to make use of spatial shuttling ability and evade the power of this explosion.


    "The remaining is left to you," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Yes!"


    Ning Tianping answered, directly going up and ending Hao Liang''s life, putting away his divine lord mystic treasure and storage ring.


    After tidying up, Ye Yuan looked at Ning Tianping and said, "Why did you follow after?"


    Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "Tianping wants to follow Your Excellency. Even running errands for Your Excellency will do as well."


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said, "I''m no longer an elder now. Furthermore, I''m a cripple. There''s a possibility that �� I''ll never break through to the Divine Lord Realm too! There''s no benefit for you to follow me."


    But Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Heh, others don''t believe Your Excellency, but I''m full of confidence in Your Excellency. If even Your Excellency isn''t able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, that''s also too unjust. I''m following Your Excellency to wait for the day Your Excellency breaks through to the Divine Lord Realm, to also benefit from association with it."


    Ye Yuan was moved in his heart, but scolding laughingly, "You ran out like this, if the Ning Family knew this, they would probably blame it all on me."


    Ning Tianping chortled and said, "Would Your Excellency care about this? Heh heh, the elders meeting''s matter, I''ve also heard of it. But Your Excellency, don''t blame Family Head. Managing a large family clan, he naturally has to put benefits above all."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Alright, the tails are also cleaned up now, we should set off."


    Regarding Ning Tianping''s reaction, Ye Yuan had long anticipated it and said with a smile, "Didn''t you see it? This is a spatial-type true god mystic treasure. Our journey in the future will be relying on it."


    Ning Tianping opened his mouth wide as he said in disbelief, "T-True god mystic treasure! My God!"


    Ning Tianping nearly bit off his own tongue. This was a peak true god mystic treasure. Furthermore, it was an extremely rare spatial-type true god mystic treasure.


    Such a treasure, if let City Lord His Excellency knew, he would probably have wicked designs too, right?


    No wonder even a Celestial Deity powerhouse could not kill His Excellency the last time! It turns out that he actually hid in here!


    Ning Tianping was very smart. Ye Yuan displaying this trump card to him was equivalent to already truly acknowledging him, treating him as his own.


    Walking into the towering palace, Ning Tianping felt as if he entered another world.


    He suddenly thought of something and asked Ye Yuan, "Your Excellency, where are we going?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heavenspan �� Mountain!"


    Ning Tianping''s entire body trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.


    ...


    These several hundred years, Ye Yuan accumulated tens of billions of wealth. Using them to fly was more than plenty.


    Ye Yuan was not familiar with the Heavenspan World outside of the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. But with Dustless, this living map, it was not to the extent of getting lost.


    After over a dozen years, the two people entered a capital city.


    This capital city was called Riverluck Capital City, a high-level capital city.


    Riverluck Capital City''s geographical location was very special. This place was out-of-the-way, at the juncture of several major forces.


    The forces here were very close and interlocked, with experts plentiful like clouds. The situation was very complicated.


    The reason why they came here was that Dustless told Ye Yuan that Riverluck Capital City might have Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone for sale.


    More than 400 years passed in a twinkle, the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones were almost exhausted too.


    Searching for Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones was also one of Ye Yuan''s important objective of coming out.


    Walking on the streets of Riverluck Capital City, the streams of people did not rest all around, appearing very prosperous.


    However, in every street and alley, the skirmishes between some small factions could also be seen everywhere.


    According to what Dustless said, the major and minor factions here were intricately and complicatedly linked. Birth and death were a common occurrence.


    However, there were three major forces who were this capital city''s rulers. They were respectively the City Lord Manor, Sword Star Alliance, as well as the Blood Rainbow Manor.


    It was said that these three great forces all had seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses holding down the fort.


    In a capital city, having a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse to hold down the fort was already extremely rare.


    This kind of place was heaven for some itinerant cultivators. They supplied each other''s needs here. Therefore, the trade here was also very developed. It was even much more flourishing compared to the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    It was just in such a place, that Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, this kind of rare and exotic treasure, have a possibility of appearing.


    "Your Excellency, something''s not right! Even if Riverluck Capital City has experts abundant like clouds, this is also too many, right? On this street, Divine Lord Realm powerhouses can be seen everywhere. It''s simply even more than Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!" Ning Tianping suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Clearly, he also discovered a trace of an anomaly.


    The time they entered the city was not long, but just the Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, they saw several dozen!


    Although the vast majority of powerhouses among them were first-layered heaven Divine Lord, this number was also too exaggerated.


    Counting like this, the Divine Lord Realm powerhouses in the city currently, were at least several thousand people.


    This scale could even compare to some higher-level imperial cities already.


    "You go and find someone to inquire about it," Ye Yuan said.


    Ning Tianping nodded his head, stopped a first-layered heaven Divine Lord, and asked, "Brother, is there some grand occasion in our Riverluck Capital City recently? Why are there so many Divine Lord Realm martial artists?"


    The moment that person saw Ning Tianping''s strength, he did not dare to slight Nian Tianping, but he still said in surprise, "You actually don''t know?"


    Ning Tianping could not help laughing as he said, "It''s because I don''t know that I asked you!"


    Only when that person saw that Ning Tianping''s expression did not seem to be joking that he said, "Riverluck Capital City''s northern wilderness'' Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate opens once every 3000 years. At present, that long-awaited time is approaching. The divine lord realms of the ten imperial cities and capital cities in the vicinity of Riverluck Capital City all gathered here, wanting to enter the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate to seek lucky chances. This Riverluck Capital City naturally has many Divine Lord Realm martial artists."


    "Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate?" Ning Tianping said with a puzzled look, clearly never heard of it before.


    That person said, "The Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate is said to be left behind by a True God powerhouse. Large numbers of lucky chances were left behind inside. Cultivation methods, martial techniques, medicinal pills, even laws, there''s everything one can wish for. Someone had once obtained the True God powerhouse''s cultivation method inheritance inside, cultivating to the realm of True God!"

 1645 Pauper

    When Ning Tianping heard that martial artist''s words, his gaze could not help turning intent, his heart palpitating with eagerness.


    The True God Realm, that was a realm that he dreamed of!


    Except, even if his talent was outstanding, wanting to reach the Celestial Deity Realm was extremely, extremely difficult, let alone the True God Realm.


    Putting aside his own talent, just talking about Zheng Qi, Gao Yuan, Ling Zikun, those people, which of them were not heaven''s chosen of their generation when young?


    But several tens of thousands of years had passed, they were still stuck at the peak Divine Lord Realm.


    Ning Tianping understood that if not for the void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill, it was also impossible for him to cultivate so quickly.


    He could forget about attaining his present realm without a thousand years.


    Furthermore, the further up, even if it was one level, breaking through was extremely arduous.


    Hence, in Ning Tianping''s heart, he had always been extremely respectful toward Ye Yuan.


    After him, Ye Yuan never refined void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pills again!


    To the outside, Ye Yuan just said that that time was an exceptional performance, the others were also deeply convinced.


    After all, void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill was not some commonplace medicinal pill, able to refine when one wanted to refine.


    But Ning Tianping was his follower for so long, he was naturally aware just how terrifying Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao strength was.


    "So that''s how it is. Then in this Riverluck Capital City, is there a venue to trade treasures?" Ning Tianping asked.


    That martial artist said, "The places to trade in Riverluck Capital City are a lot. But to say the largest trading place, it belongs to the west-side city''s Heavenly Network Gathering. Heavenly Network Gathering is jointly established by the three great factions. There are all kinds of precious treasures inside. If Your Excellency wishes to trade, you can bring your follower over there to take a look."


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother. But �� you got it wrong. This one is the lord, I''m just a small follower."


    That martial artist looked at the two people leaving with a sluggish look when he heard that. What situation was this?


    No matter how one looked at it, Ning Tianping was also some major faction''s direct lineage disciple, ridiculously young.


    Such a genius disciple was a follower for an Origin Deity Realm?


    On the way, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don''t have to explain to him. Moreover, I also don''t have the intention of treating you as a follower."


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling when he heard that.


    ...


    Heavenly Network Gathering was a trading area that occupied a vast area. It was divided into three major regions, which were respectively under the jurisdiction of the three major forces.


    Each martial artist who entered here, regardless of whether setting up stalls or trading, had to pay a certain amount of divine essence stones.


    After Ye Yuan paid the divine essence stones for two, he brought Ning Tianping into the trading area.


    Ning Tianping grumbled and said, "How shady! We entered and haven''t done anything yet, and we paid 100 thousand divine essence stones! There are so many people here, so how many divine essence stones will be collected in a day?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many martial artists are keen to establish their own factions or join one. Because only with a powerful faction can one earn even more divine essence stones. Cultivation will also be more assured. Just like Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, entering inside similarly needs to pay a certain amount of divine essence stones. Back then, when I entered the city, I paid one million divine essence stones."


    Ning Tianping had always been living in the inner-city. With the protection of the family, he was unable to understand the sorrow of bottom-level martial artists.


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, it was really the case.


    No matter how powerful a person''s martial strength was, the divine essence stones that they could earn were also limited.


    But if one established a powerful faction, that was completely different.


    One could say that that was lying at home and collecting money.


    The two people toured one round. Ning Tianping looked around until he was extremely shocked.


    "Spiral Star Absolute Feather, Duize Mystic Lotus �� these are all extremely rare treasures. This place actually has them!"


    Ning Tianping was like someone who had never seen the world entering the dazzling human world with its myriad temptations, being dumbfounded by the rare and exotic treasures here.


    These were very seldom-seen treasures. This place actually had everything one could wish for.


    Ye Yuan did not shout excitedly like Ning Tianping, but he was also extremely surprised in his heart.


    It was no wonder Dustless made him come here. This place was truly the paradise for martial artists and alchemists.


    There were quite a few things that even he was somewhat moved too.


    "Boss, how much are you selling this Seven Treasure Profound Fruit for?" Ning Tianping could not resist coming before a small stall and asking about it.


    A person should not look at how this small stall was inconspicuous. There were quite a few good items.


    Ning Tianping cultivated water-attribute laws. This Seven Treasure Profound Fruit was a water-attribute spirit medicine. Even swallowing raw was very helpful to him too.


    The boss was a third-layered heaven Divine Lord too. Seeing Ning Tianping ask, his eyelids raised slightly and he said, "1.2 billion!"


    The corners of Ning Tianping''s mouth twitched fiercely and he said, "Boss, this is also too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"


    A rank four divine pill was also merely the price of two or three billion. This one spirit medicine was already 700 million. If refined into a medicinal pill, mixed with other spirit medicines, it would start at least 2 billion.


    Then how much was the medicinal pill refined worth?


    But this Seven Treasure Profound Fruit was indeed a rare item. If refined into a medicinal pill, it would at least start at 3 billion too.


    Looking at it this way, the price of 1.2 billion was also not considered too outrageous.


    It was just that, this way, Ye Yuan''s net worth of tens of billions did not seem to be a big deal looking at it now.


    Moreover, the majority of the time in these dozen over years was spent flying. He already depleted close to half of the divine essence stones.


    Counting this way, the few billions remaining were not enough to look at at all.


    That boos shot Ning Tianping a glance indifferently and said coolly, "Want to buy, buy. Not buying, get lost. Don''t disturb this old man from doing business!"


    Ning Tianping was young and spirit in the end. He was about to erupt on the spot. He said furiously, "What''s with your attitude?!"


    The boss said with a cold smile, "The things that this old man sells is naturally worth this price! In this Heavenly Network Gathering, don''t pretend to be capable if you don''t have money! Pauper, this place is beyond your ability!"


    Ning Tianping was enraged and roared, "Who are you saying doesn''t have money? Your father has plenty of money!"


    In his rage, he fished out a storage ring. But when his consciousness probed into the storage ring, he suddenly had an embarrassed look.


    He came out too hastily this time. He really could not take out so much divine essence stones on him.


    Ning Tianping''s current net worth was only 700 or 800 million.


    What kind of eyes did the boss have? Looking at Ning Tianping''s appearance, he knew that he had no money and said with a sneer, "Can''t take it out? Get lost to one side if you have no money, don''t interfere with this old man doing business!"


    Ning Tianping was livid, this boss was really too arrogant, to actually look down on him!


    Considering how he was the dignified Ning Family''s number one genius, when had he worried about money before?


    It was truly a tiger landing in a plain being bullied by a dog!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly took out a storage ring, placed it on the stall, and said coolly, "Boss, 1.2 billion, you check."


    The boss'' gaze sharpened slightly, only then, sized Ye Yuan up seriously.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan was the follower that Ning Tianping brought. Looking at it now, something seemed to be off.


    An Origin Deity Realm could actually take out 1.2 billion without batting an eyelid!


    Something was fishy!


    But Ning Tianping''s expression changed, and he said, "Brother Ye, how can this do?"


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s divine essence stones here were also not considered a lot. There was still great use.


    Taking out 1.2 billion all of a sudden was also a considerable burden to him, immediately feeling conflicted in his heart.

 1646 Last Rank Stall

    "What''s wrong with it? Keep it!"


    Ye Yuan took the Seven Treasure Profound Fruit and directly threw it to Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping caught it, feeling that it was very hot.


    Rank four items were greatly different from rank three items. They were easily measured in hundreds of millions.


    Without the support of a large family at the back, it was very hard to afford this kind of expenditure.


    Taking 1.2 billion, that boss could not be bothered to care about these two people, having a high and mighty appearance again.


    An Origin Deity Realm bringing so much money out, he knew that Ye Yuan was definitely already targeted by quite a few people.


    It was naturally alright for Ning Tianping. If Ye Yuan was alone by himself, someone would probably have designs on him.


    "Brother Ye, I''ll definitely think of a way to return this money to you!" Ning Tianping gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it! If you didn''t come out, I believe that this doesn''t matter to you. But now, what will you use to pay back?"


    Ning Tianping could not help choking when he heard that, but Ye Yuan turned and asked that boss, "Boss, I want to inquire from you, does the Heavenly Network Gathering have news about Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone?"


    The boss'' eyelids raised slightly and he said with some surprise, "You want Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones? What a coincidence, I have it here!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Boss, how many do you have? I''ll buy all!"


    The boss looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look and said, "Do you think Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are cabbages on the street? I only have a two-fist-sized piece on hand. If you want to buy, I''ll make it a bit cheaper for you, one billion!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and took out another one billion divine essence stones, and bought the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.


    That boss was repeatedly astonished. He completely did not think that this Origin Deity Realm powerhouse''s net worth was even wealthier than most people at the Divine Lord Realms.


    "Boss, do you know what places still have Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones in the Heavenly Network Gathering?" Ye Yuan asked.


    This bit of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones was not enough to fill the crevices between his teeth.


    The boss said in puzzlement, "What do you want so many Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones for? If it''s cultivation, such a large piece is sufficient for you to use. Moreover, even if you have some net worth, it probably can''t buy several pieces of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones either, right?"


    On account of two billion he earned, the boss''s words finally became friendlier.


    The boss said, "Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones are very cherished items. It''s also greatly beneficial to a martial artist''s cultivation. If not in urgent need of money, I also wouldn''t easily take it out to sell. Hence, how many Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones the Heavenly Network Gathering has, I''m not clear either. You can only go and inquire about it yourself. However �� I know that half a month later, the three great factions will host an auction jointly. And one of the auction items is a Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp and he cried out in shock, "Boss, is this true?"


    The boss said, "You go and inquire a bit and you''ll know, this matter isn''t some secret. But �� this Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone''s price will definitely start from ten billion."


    Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone was the higher-order form of the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone. The energy provided was purer, the energy contained was also greater.


    It was just that compared to the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, Boundless Heavenly Soul Stones were rare until it made one''s hair stand on end.


    Ye Yuan did not expect to actually be able to encounter Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone here.


    But this way, wanting to win the bid for the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, the divine essence stones spent will likely reach a very horrifying level.


    With the number of divine essence stones in his hands right now, he probably could not even buy a hair.


    "Brother Ye, ten billion divine essence stones, this ��"


    Even if Ning Tianping grew up in a honey pot since young, he was also taken aback with fright by this divine essence stone number.


    Ten billion divine essence stones, even when placed in the Ning Family, it was a substantial figure too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to keep a low profile, buy a few pieces of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, then leave. Looking at it now, I can''t keep a low-profile."


    Ning Tianping''s entire body trembled and he said, "Brother Ye, you want to ��"


    Ye Yuan said, "Let''s set up a stall too. Do my original profession."


    Ning Tianping sucked in a deep breath, he knew what Ye Yuan meant.


    However, the boss was not convinced as he said, "You, an Origin Deity Realm, what can you sell to earn ten billion divine essence stones? Furthermore, the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate is about to open, large groups of martial artists have gathered in the city. Now, the good stalls are all leased out already, even last-rank stalls probably don''t have many left either. It''s simply nothing more than wishful thinking for you to want to earn so many divine essence stones."


    "Haha, this kid must have just arrived at Heavenly Network Gathering, and thinks that this place is a treasure basin? Just set up a stall and he can rack in a fortune?"


    "What does an Origin Deity Realm have to sell to be able to earn ten billion divine essence stones? This kid is daydreaming, right?"


    When the stall owners beside heard that Ye Yuan wanted to set up a stall too, they all had mocking looks.


    Rank three things, the prices simply had no way of comparing with rank four.


    Selling several dozen items tended to not even compare to one rank four items.


    Wanting to earn ten billion divine essence stones was basically not too possible.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Rest assured, my stall business will definitely be very popular."


    The boss said with a big laugh, "Very popular? Hahaha, kid, you really don''t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Forget it, forget it, since you don''t listen to advice, you can very well go try it out yourself."


    ...


    Heavenly Network Gathering''s management area, a second-layered heaven Divine Lord martial artist darted Ye Yuan a glance and said, "First-rate stall, 100 million a day. Second-rate stall, 10 million a day. Third-rate stall, five million a day. Fourth-rate stall, one million a day. Last-rank stall �� 100 thousand a day. Uh, the stalls in front are all full. Now, there''s only the last last-rank stall remaining, do you want or not?"


    The so-called first-rate stall was naturally the most visible location. The moment everyone entered the Heavenly Network Gathering, they would be able to see it.


    This kind of stall, as long as the things were good enough, earning tens of billions in a day, it was still possible.


    And that boss''s stall was merely a second-rate stall.


    As for last-rank stalls, they were naturally stalls at the corners. Normally, no one cared to show interest. Even items worth 100 thousand, there would be complaints of them being expensive.


    Because last-rank stalls might not even earn 100 thousand divine essence stones in a day. It was virtually a loss-making business.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, "Last-rank stall then, I want to rent half a month."


    Ye Yuan paid the divine essence stones, took the token, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh, right, how is the commission of last-rank stalls charged?"


    This token was not merely a symbol of occupancy, it could even monitor the divine essence stones undulations of each stall.


    Just like Ye Yuan''s transaction previously, actually, that boss'' token could already detect the approximate number of divine essence stones inside the storage rings.


    Good stalls, after the sales reached a certain amount, the Heavenly Network Gathering also had to collect a certain percentage.


    The higher the sale, the higher the commission!


    The three great factions went through so much effort to build such a market, they naturally wanted to fleece even more divine essence stones.


    Maintaining the operation of this market was not just by providing a venue, there was even the safeguard of stronger martial power.


    Inside the Heavenly Network Gathering, fighting was strictly prohibited. Otherwise, kill without mercy.


    At least in the Heavenly Network Gathering, martial artists were safe.


    That martial artist waved his hand impatiently and said, "What commission is charged for last-rank stalls? If you can sell the things, it''s your capability. Go, go, I''m still busy here!"

 1647 Medicinal Pill Shop

    Ning Tianping took the last three billion savings of Ye Yuan''s and went to buy rank three spirit medicines.


    This three billion was Ye Yuan''s final capital.


    Even the several billion divine essence stones inside the Purple Extreme Hall was squandered clean by Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan was basically equivalent to penniless.


    Seeing his stall, Ye Yuan could not help smiling bitterly too.


    No wonder they did not even want a commission. The location of this stall, virtually no one would show interest.


    Setting up a stall was a skill too. Those martial artists who frequently visited the market also understood that people who could not afford the stall fee naturally did not have any good stuff on hand.


    Therefore, these last-rank stall''s stall owners, normally, no one would care about them.


    Of course, right now, the martial artists in the city were numerous. The entire Heavenly Network Gathering was very hot, letting last-rank stalls have some popularity by association too.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s stall was truly too remote. It could be said to be the last-rank stall among last-rank stalls.


    When those martial artists strolled until the front, most of them ran out of interest, let alone talk about coming here.


    But Ye Yuan did not mind either. As long as someone came over, his reputation would naturally reach out.


    A stall owner next to him saw Ye Yuan come over to set up a stall. He came to greet out of boredom.


    "Hey, why did you rent this stall? Isn''t this being a sucker?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Doesn''t matter, as long as it''s a stall, it will do."


    That stall owner was also bored out of his mind, finally finding a person to chit-chat with. seeing Ye Yuan say so, he could not help smiling as he said, "Heh, I''m also the same as you, don''t know anything at all, that''s why I rented this stall. In the end, I haven''t sold a single item until now too. Hey, what are you selling?"


    Ye Yuan also did not have the intention of keeping people a good distance away and said coolly, "Medicinal pills."


    The moment that stall owner heard, he said with a contemptuous look, "Couldn''t tell that you''re still an alchemist! The stalls outside selling medicinal pills, if there isn''t a thousand, there''s also 800. Who''ll come to this corner to buy your medicinal pills?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My medicinal pills, there is no need to worry about selling them."


    When the stall owner heard, he burst into laughter and said, "Kid, you won''t shed tears until you see the coffin! You''re just a Three-star Alchemy God, right? The Four-star Alchemy Gods outside are not in the minority. They are selling rank three divine pills too. No matter how good your medicinal pills are, can it still compete with the Four-star Alchemy Gods?"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Can!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan knocked out his banner unhurriedly, on it wrote ''Medicinal Pill Shop"


    What an uncouth name!


    That stall owner could not help poking fun in his heart.


    However, Ye Yuan did not display his medicinal pills. He just hung a few signs on the booth.


    It was the prices of level one to level nine difficulty medicinal pills. Level one difficulty was 100 million, level nine difficulty was three billion.


    Seeing this price list, the stall owner beside him directly broke down.


    Was this kid here to be funny?


    One rank three divine pill being sold for three billion?


    You''re here to rob money, right?!


    Ordinary medicinal pill shops would display some of their proud works to attract customers, but Ye Yuan did not.


    Void spirit divine-grade divine pills were different from ordinary medicinal pills. Because it was incomparably pure, so it was also easier to volatilize the medicinal properties, affecting the medicinal effects from there.


    Hence, after forming the pill, Ye Yuan always used special techniques to seal it, then stored it inside storage rings.


    This kind of pocket storage ring was worthless, but the medicinal pills were incomparably precious.


    Taking it out to display, one must break the seal, affecting the medicinal properties from there.


    Hence, Ye Yuan''s small stall did not have any goods to show everyone at all.


    What he wanted to sell were all void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills!


    ...


    "Little Junior Sister, these are all last-rank stalls. There is no good stuff. We''ve bought everything that should be bought, solet''s go back."


    In front of last-rank stalls, a man and a woman, both youngsters, were currently strolling.


    The girl was in high spirits, but the guy was somewhat impatient already.


    These two people were the Sword Star Alliance''s disciples. The guy was called Zhao Jian, while the girl was called Su Ting.


    Su Ting smiled and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, if you feel bored, go back first. I''ll scour around here, maybe I can find good stuff?"


    The moment Zhao Jian heard, he shriveled up and said, "Little Junior Sister, last-rank stalls are all rented by some incompetent Origin Deity Realm martial artists. What good stuff can there be?"


    Su Ting said, "That might not be the case. The last time, didn''t Third Senior Brother find a pretty good martial technique here? He cultivated that martial technique and his strength increased greatly recently. You''re also aware."


    Zhao Jian was speechless as he said, "He was a blind cat bumping into a dead rat."


    Su Ting smiled and said, "Perhaps we can also bump into dead mice? There are so many martial artists in the city right now. Who knows whether this place is hiding some good things or not?"


    It seemed like shopping was a woman''s nature. This Su Ting did not find it tiring and just shopped all the way.


    Zhao Jian was helpless and could only accompany Su Ting too.


    He was interested in this little junior sister and naturally could not say anything.


    Shopping for more than two hours, logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhao Jian, this half-step Divine Lord powerhouse, to feel tired.


    But his feet actually seemed to have grown roots, unable to lift them anymore.


    "Little Junior Sister, you see �� I already told you, there is no good stuff here." Zhao Jian saw that they were almost reaching the end and said again.


    Su Ting was indeed a little disappointed. She even thought that martial artists gathering in the city this time, there would be some good stuff. Did not expect that these last-rank stalls did not have anything.


    But seeing as they were almost reaching the end, she was also unresigned to leave just like this. Hence, she said, "Eldest Senior Brother, I know that you''re the best. Just a few stalls left, so accompany me to see things till the end, alright?"


    This move was rather ruthless. Zhao Jian''s bones almost turned limp. He could only nod. He said, "Alright, alright. Either way, there''s also not many left."


    After looking at several more, there was still nothing. Even Su Ting herself was almost giving up.


    Suddenly, Su Ting looked at a small booth in the corner-most area rather curiously.


    This stall was too remote and also too small. If one did not pay attention, they could not even see it.


    What attracted her attention was that that stall actually did not have a single item.


    "Medicinal Pill Shop, what an uncouth name! Boss, you''re selling medicinal pills, why isn''t there even a medicinal bottle?" Su Ting asked Ye Yuan with a curious look.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It isn''t convenient to take out my medicinal pills. What medicinal pills you require, you can directly tell me."


    Su Ting opened her eyes wide and said with a curious look, "There are actually still medicinal pills that can''t be taken out? Your meaning is that you have every medicinal pill?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Commonly used ones basically all have. Some uncommon medicinal pills, there are also quite a few. If there isn''t, I can help you to refine right now. Three hours will do."


    Zhao Jian listened by the side, feeling that Ye Yuan boasted a little too much.


    His gaze suddenly turned sharp, seeing the sign Ye Yuan hung up, and cried out in shock, "One rank three divine pill, you''re selling for three billion divine essence stones? Are you robbing people of their money?"


    When Ye Yuan heard it, he just said coolly, "Selling at this price is naturally because the medicinal pill is worth this price."


    Zhao Jian shouted at the top of his voice, "What medicinal pill is worth three billion, you tell me!"

 1648 Free Publicity

    "Void spirit divine-grade!" Ye Yuan lightly spat out four words from his mouth.


    Zhao Jian laughed loudly when he heard it and said, "Kid, I see that you''re not here to sell medicinal pills, you''re here to swindle and deceive people, right? Claiming void spirit divine-grade, you''re not scared of spraining your tongue when bragging! In this Riverluck Capital City, there has yet to be any alchemist who dared to make this boast of being able to refine void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills. Who the hell do you think you are?"


    Su Ting was not as domineering as Zhao Jian, but she also did not believe Ye Yuan''s words at all.


    In her heart, she already designated Ye Yuan as a liar.


    "Forget it, Eldest Senior Brother. Let''s go." Su Ting said.


    But Zhao Jian said, "Little Junior Sister, this kind of swindler at the Heavenly Network Gathering, even though it''s a last-rank stall, we can''t smash our own signboard too! Wait for me to expose this cheat, then have Martial Uncle they all chase this punk out of Heavenly Network Gathering!"


    Su Ting thought about it, feeling that what Zhao Jian said had a point too. Hence, she fell silent.


    Zhao Jian''s voice was very loud. Those watching a show did not mind matters blowing up.


    Originally, this side was very out-of-the-way, his loud voice attracted many martial artists instead.


    In this small corner, quite a number of people crowded for a moment.


    "What this kid is selling is void spirit divine pills? Heh heh, most likely is a swindler, right?"


    "I''ve lived for ten thousand years and have yet to see before what void spirit divine pills look like!"


    "There''s all available from level one to level nine. He''s merely an Origin Deity Realm. At most, he''s also just a Three-star Alchemy God. Can he still refine level nine difficulty divine pills?"


    ...


    Toward Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, everyone all had skeptical attitudes.


    After all, void spirit divine pills were rare until it made people''s hair stand on end.


    Zhao Jian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Kid, one billion divine essence stones, is it? I''ll pay, so you take a void spirit divine-grade rank three divine pill for me to see!"


    Said that he was paying, but he did not have the intention of paying at all.


    Zhao Jian already ascertained that Ye Yuan was a swindler, how could he possibly be a sucker, giving Ye Yuan a billion divine essence stones?


    How could Ye Yuan not see through his thoughts? He said coolly, "The money in one hand, the goods in the other. I don''t have time to play house with a snotty brat like you."


    Snotty brat?


    Zhao Jian broke down. It seemed like you were not even as old as me, right?


    "Pfff!"


    Ye Yuan had a serious appearance, tickling Su Ting.


    Zhao Jian''s words made the surrounding people burst out in surprise.


    They did not expect that these two people, their background was actually so prestigious.


    Now, there was a good show to watch!


    Sure enough, Zhao Jian directly smacked a palm over and was actually going to directly smash Ye Yuan''s signboard.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned dark and suddenly smacked a palm over, and actually reached first despite launching later.


    Bang!


    Zhao Jian''s entire person flew out backward. Fortunately, the surrounding people were many, the powerhouses were also quite a lot.


    They propped him with palm force on account of the Sword Star Alliance''s face, that was how he was not overly wretched.


    However, the surrounding people all looked at Ye Yuan with an incomparable shock.


    This kid only had grand completion Origin Deity cultivation, but he smacked the half-step Divine Lord Zhao Jian flying with a casual palm.


    His strength was rather daunting!


    Zhao Jian was in a difficult position, feeling that he lost face in front of Little Junior Sister, and said in a great rage, "You dare to attack me?"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "It''s not that you can''t inspect the goods. You spend money to buy a medicinal pill and you''ll naturally know the truth from false! But you were going to ruin my signboard indiscriminately! Is this how your Sword Star Alliance does things? Saying that I''m deceiving and beguiling people, it is also not that you can''t, but you must show the proof! Keep on being so arrogant and domineering, it wouldn''t be so simple next time!"


    Zhao Jian could not help choking, being awed by Ye Yuan''s powerful aura.


    If it was just now, he would naturally dismiss this threat with a scoff.


    But now, he knew that Ye Yuan had this strength.


    Just now, he indeed pulled his punches already!


    But shrinking back like this, he could not stomach this. He said angrily, "Fine! I want to see what kind of panacea you''re selling! Here is a billion divine essence stones, give me a medicinal pill, I want to expose you in public!"


    As he said, he smacked a storage ring on the stall.


    Ye Yuan received the storage ring, checked the divine essence stones, and said coolly, "What medicinal pill do you want?"


    Zhao Jian thought about it and said, "I''ll have a most ordinary Vast Essence Pill!"


    Vast Essence Pill was the medicinal pill that Origin Deity Realm martial artists used to cultivate. It was similar to the Divine Essence Pill.


    Divine-grade Vast Essence Pill would also appear every few years at Riverluck Capital City. Each time, it would be hiked to a sky-high price. The highest time, it even reached 80 million divine essence stones!


    As for void spirit divine-grade, it never appeared once.


    Looking at it this way, if Ye Yuan really took out a void spirit divine-grade Vast Essence Pill, selling for the price of one billion was considered very cheap.


    Everyone''s gaze focused on Ye Yuan. Now, he even took out the money, you could not attack and beat people, right?


    Under everyone''s stare, Ye Yuan fished out a storage ring, threw it to Zhao Jian, and he said coolly, "Your Vast Essence Pill."


    Zhao Jian sneered incessantly in his heart. He totally did not believe that Ye Yuan could take out a void spirit divine pill, even if it was the most ordinary Vast Essence Pill.


    Pretending!


    I see when you pretend until!


    He reached his hand out, received the storage ring, divine sense probing inside. A surge of medicinal strength instantly impacted his divine sense.


    What thick medicinal strength!


    Can it �� really be void spirit divine-grade?


    Now, everyone''s attention was focused on Zhao Jian. His expression changed. Everyone took it into their sights.


    Everyone was extremely surprised in their hearts, could it really be a void spirit divine pill?


    "Humph! At least you still have some capability in counterfeiting, making it like it''s real! But �� I want to test the pill on the spot!" Zhao Jian said with a cold smile.


    Until now, he still did not believe that what Ye Yuan took out was void spirit divine-grade.


    People selling fake medicinal pills naturally would not be exposed so easily.


    Everyone transacted face-to-face, if it was really that easy to differentiate, they would lose all decorum on the spot.


    Those people who make counterfeits had different levels. Some people''s strengths were very powerful, making the medicinal pill''s medicinal strength difficult to differentiate truth from falsehood.


    But, if one tested the pill on the spot, that was different.


    The effect was clear at a glance!


    Ye Yuan said with a calm look, "Whatever you want."


    Real gold was not afraid of fire. Could his, Ye Yuan''s, medicinal pill, still be accused as a fake?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan understood the situation. Zhao Jian doing so was simply the best advertisement for him. He naturally did not have the reason to stop it.


    Ye Yuan thought highly of himself and was not willing to do the promotion of wares.


    But Zhao Jian taking the initiative to help, he also did not have reason to refuse.


    Currently, this situation was simply like playing a two-man act, the coordination rather tacit.


    Zhao Jian handed the storage ring to Su Ting and said, "Little Junior Sister, you come and test the pill!"


    Su Ting was very curious too, hence, she took the storage ring.


    Zhao Jian was already half-step Divine Lord, even if give him a spiritlink divine pill, the divine essence within his body also could not possibly increase the least bit.


    Su Ting was currently peak middle-stage Origin Deity, even if this was a fake medicinal pill, it more or less still had some help to her.


    To be able to make the medicinal strength so realistic, this medicinal pill naturally did not have major problems. It just had some tricks done to the quality.

 1649 Causing a Sensation

    Everyone left a clear space for Su Ting, letting her refine the medicinal pill.


    Su Ting did not harbor much hope. Void spirit divine-grade pills were not cabbages, able to be bought wholesale casually.


    If Ye Yuan said that he only had a void spirit divine-grade Vast Essence Pill, it would be somewhat believable.


    But Ye Yuan''s meaning was clearly that his medicinal pills were all void spirit divine pills. This was a little too nonsensical.


    "This kid is really calm enough. They are already about to test the pill and he''s still so calm."


    "Haha, it''s not over until it''s over!"


    "I remember more than ten years ago, someone selling fake medicinal pills in the Heavenly Network Gathering was exposed. Later, that person was directly beaten to a cripple by the three great factions."


    "This kid has some strength, but compared to the three great factions, it''s still too far off."


    ...


    The surrounding martial artists were all waiting to see the joke. This matter today was stirred up so big that there was probably no way to resolve it anymore.


    Heavenly Network Gathering was a trading venue renown far and wide, the three major factions still cherished their reputation more.


    One discovered that someone was swindling, they would deal a ruthless blow.


    Firstly, it could establish awe. Secondly, it could rectify their name.


    Once the seal opened, a thick medicinal fragrance instantly swept throughout the whole place.


    "What a thick medicinal fragrance!"


    "What a terrifying medicinal strength!"


    "This Vast Essence Pill would really be void spirit divine-grade, right?"


    ...


    Everyone''s faces suddenly changed. The higher the quality of the medicinal pill, the thicker the medicinal fragrance, and the stronger the medicinal strength that effused.


    This Vast Essence Pill in Su Ting''s hand was clearly extraordinary.


    "What''s all the fuss about! Medicinal fragrance and medicinal strength can all be faked. The true quality of a medicinal pill still needs after refining before one can know!" Although Zhao Jian was alarmed in his heart, he still remained stubborn.


    But what he said was also right, if not a medicinal pill refined on the spot, these things could indeed be falsified.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Hurry up and refine it. The longer you delay, the more severe the medicinal strength''s dissipation."


    Su Ting was also slightly shocked in her heart, hurriedly stuffing the medicinal pill into her mouth.


    A surge of incredible medicinal strength instantly exploded in Su Ting''s mouth and abdomen.


    The horrifying divine essence scoured her four limbs and bones like tidewaters, making her have a feeling of suddenly feeling refreshed.


    Su Ting felt like every pore in her body seemed to have loosened up.


    Rumble!


    "What a powerful divine essence undulation! She''s about to break through!"


    "What a terrifying medicinal strength! Is �� Is this void spirit divine-grade?"


    "One Vast Essence Pill and she can break through to the late-stage Origin Deity Realm, this �� this one billion divine essence stones was spent too worthwhile!"


    ...


    Cries of exclamations sounded out everywhere.


    Vast Essence Pill was just a medicinal pill that increased divine essence and did not have the effect of breaking through bottlenecks.


    To Su Ting, swallowing another 100 or even 1000 ordinary Vast Essence Pills, and it was also impossible to burst through the bottleneck easily.


    But the medicinal effect of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill was too strong. Plus, Su Ting was originally stuck at the bottleneck. Under the stimulation of the powerful medicinal effect, that was how she burst through the bottleneck in one go!


    The spiritual energy in the Heavenly Network Gathering surged and condensed over, alarming even more martial artists.


    Breaking through at Heavenly Network Gathering, this kind of place, was a very rare phenomenon. Everyone all wanted to know what happened.


    Therefore, the martial artists at the peripherals gathered one after another in the direction where the spiritual energy concentrated.


    The stream of people at the originally extremely remote last-rank stalls became more and more.


    Very soon, it was packed until not even water could seep through.


    But the more it was like this, the greater everyone''s curiosity.


    Those who could not squeeze in were all inquiring one after another, wanting to know what happened inside.


    All of a sudden, the entire Heavenly Network Gathering became a mess.


    The abnormality at this side finally startled the three great factions.


    The Heavenly Network Gathering had existed for God knows how many years already, such a thing that never happened before.


    The three great factions were afraid of a mutiny happening and made a response very quickly, sending out powerhouses to hold down the fort one after another.


    "Don''t squeeze inside anymore! Keep squeezing inside and it''s tantamount to causing trouble! Offenders will be killed without mercy!"


    A sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses shouted at the top of voice, releasing a powerful realm suppression, finally making those people somewhat loosen up.


    Finally, under the suppression of the three great factions'' powerhouses, the martial artists at the peripherals were finally dispersed.


    But the last-rank stalls place was still surrounded until not even a drop of water could trickle through.


    Su Ting slowly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with rays of brilliant light, feeling like she had inexhaustible energy to vent.


    She knew that the medicinal pill''s medicinal effect was not completely refined.


    Su Ting only wanted to find a place to enter seclusion as soon as possible and refine the medicinal strength as quickly as possible.


    Zhao Jian looked at Su Ting with blank eyes, already shocked until he could not be more shocked.


    "L-Little Junior Sister?" Zhao Jian said stammeringly.


    Su Ting sucked in a deep breath and slowly said, "That''s right, it''s a genuine void spirit divine pill!"


    Murmur!


    The surrounding martial artists thoroughly exploded!


    Even though everyone already had an answer in their hearts, hearing Su Ting say it personally, that was another matter altogether.


    "It''s really a void spirit divine pill!"


    "My God, I have lived for so long and have yet to see before a void spirit divine pill!"


    "A Vast Essence Pill and she could breakthrough to late-stage Origin Deity Realm, it''s indeed well-deserving of being a void spirit divine pill!"


    ...


    Su Ting slowly got up and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, "Master, just now, the two of us brother and sister have offended greatly, please be magnanimous enough to forgive!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "No worries."


    Ye Yuan knew that void spirit divine pills were very hard to believe, therefore, their reactions were within expectations. He naturally would not mind.


    Su Ting said, "May I ask Master, are the medicinal pills in your hands all void spirit divine-grade?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Pretty much. There are some that the grade isn''t high, but anyone wants them, it can be a little cheaper. 50 million a pill."


    "..."


    Everyone was speechless, this not high grade �� was referring to divine-grade, right?


    There was no way a heaven-grade medicinal pill could sell for 50 million!


    But this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that the medicinal pills in Ye Yuan''s hands were �� all void spirit divine pills!"


    This was terrifying!


    "Master, I also want a Vast Essence Pill! Here are one billion divine essence stones!"


    "Master, I have 500 million here, I want a Flying Spirit Pill!"


    "Master, I have 700 million here! I want a Heavenly Treasure Whitemoon Pill!"


    ...


    In practically an instant, Zhao Jian and Su Ting were engulfed.


    At this time, who still cared about what Sword Star Alliance? Buying a void spirit divine pill was the most important thing!


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that in front of him were all hands, he could not see anything at all.


    Those hands were all holding storage rings. Inside those storage rings were all glistening divine essence stones!


    Among them, there were even quite a number of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    No matter whether itinerant cultivators or martial artists with factions, who did not have a junior?


    One billion divine essence stones and they could buy a rank three void spirit divine pill, miss this chance and it would not come again!


    "Enough!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan mustered up divine essence, his voice akin to rolling thunder, overwhelming everyone all of a sudden.


    Only after seeing everyone became quiet did Ye Yuan say, "Want to buy medicinal pills, line up first! You all like this, I won''t sell a single one!"

 1650 Astronomical Figure

    The entire city was in a stir!


    Inside the Heavenly Spiritual Pill, a small medicinal pills shop that only sold void spirit divine pills actually appeared.


    This matter was akin to the wind, spreading throughout the entire capital city at an extremely fast speed.


    In front of Ye Yuan''s Medicinal Pill Shop, a long line already formed, with no end in sight.


    Among the people queuing, Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were in the majority.


    Although the medicinal pills were good, not many of those Origin Deity Realm itinerant cultivators were able to afford the price of hundreds of millions of divine essence stones.


    Even the most ordinary medicinal pill, it was very hard for them to afford to buy one.


    At the back row of the line, someone complained, saying, "Such a long line, how long do we have to queue until?!"


    Another person said, "Then what can you do? That master said those who simply cut the queue won''t be sold medicinal pills! Heavenly Network Gathering was jointly established by the three great factions, so do you dare to cause trouble?"


    "But such a long queue, no matter how many void spirit divine pills that master has, it will be sold out too!"


    "I heard that if there''s Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, they can have priority in exchanging for medicinal pills. But sadly, I don''t have any. Sigh!"


    ...


    Right now, the popularity of Medicinal Pill Shop was so explosive. Ye Yuan also released a statement, saying that anyone who had Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones could have the priority in purchasing void spirit divine pills.


    In a short half a day, he collected three pieces of Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.


    Of course, he also traded several more expensive medicinal pills out.


    In this half a day''s time, Ye Yuan already sold hundreds of medicinal pills. His pockets started to bulge again.


    In a short half a day''s time, he made more than ten billion.


    Deducting away the cost of these medicinal pills, Ye Yuan also made a net profit of seven to eight billion.


    The medicinal pills that Ye Yuan sold currently, low difficulty ones were in the majority.


    Not everyone could take out one or two billion divine essence stones to purchase those extremely difficult medicinal pills.


    "Alright, let''s stop here today. Pack up the stall! Those who need medicinal pills, please be early tomorrow."


    The sky was getting dark, Ye Yuan directly gave the order to chase away the customers.


    With this, everyone exploded.


    "Don''t! Finally managed to reach the end of the queue, why did you pack up the stall?"


    "Are you kidding? Who does business like you?"


    "Hey, kid! Your father queued for half a day, now, you''re telling me closing up the stall? If you dare to go, I will exterminate you!"


    That first-layered heaven Divine Lord obviously had a short fuse as he said angrily, "Fine, you have balls! If you have the capabilities, don''t go out of the Heavenly Network Gathering! Otherwise, this father of yours will break your legs!"


    Suddenly, a powerful aura locked onto him and said coldly, "Why? You want to make a move against Brother Ye?"


    That first-layered heaven Divine Lord''s back turned cold, his expression instantly becoming incomparably ugly.


    This aura was clearly released by a third-layered heaven Divine Lord. Who was it if not Ning Tianping?


    "I �� h-haha, just kidding, was kidding around just now. How can I dare to offend Master?"


    Yielded in one second!


    That first-layered heaven Divine Lord even thought that Ye Yuan was alone. Who knew that there was actually still a third-layered heaven Divine Lord backing Ye Yuan from behind?


    "Good that you don''t dare. Otherwise �� you won''t see tomorrow''s sun! Humph!" Ning Tianping said with a cold snort.


    The person sweated profusely and repeatedly said that he did not dare, and he was scared away frightened out of his wits.


    Ning Tianping came to Ye Yuan''s side, passed him a storage ring, and said, "Brother Ye, the medicinal herbs that you want, I''ve bought them!"


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Tianping a very long list. Ning Tianping ran for a whole day, virtually running all over the whole city, before buying all of these spirit medicines.


    He had not returned yet and already knew that a medicinal pill big shot appeared in the city, causing a sensation in the entire city.


    Returning to take a look, this was a spectacle to behold!


    In the past, His Excellency had never worried about money before. This time, pressing him into a corner, the momentum released was really tremendous!


    Ye Yuan received the spirit medicines and said with a nod, "Thank you for your effort. Let''s find a place to rest first. Tomorrow, we''ll come over to set up the stall again."


    Ye Yuan brought Ning Tianping and left, leaving behind everyone looking at each other.


    Left just like this?


    What the hell?!


    To martial artists, forget about one day, even not resting for a year was also nothing.


    Therefore, the Heavenly Network Gathering actually operated 24 hours a day.


    Although the people at night were fewer, the number of people was still a lot.


    The booth fees were already paid, so how could one still find a place to rest?


    Wasn''t this wasting divine essence stones?


    Uh �� hang on, the rental fee for last-rank stalls seemed to be just 100 thousand divine essence stones a day. It was not even enough for the change for one of Master''s medicinal pills.


    "Uh, all scatter then! Tomorrow, come and queue up early!"


    "Seriously, have money and he doesn''t even want to earn!"


    "Heh heh, what the hell do you know?! Void spirit divine pills don''t need to worry about selling at all. Even if he sells for two hours a day, you''ll also have to wait respectfully!"


    ...


    Everyone rose in tumult and dispersed. Following Ye Yuan''s departure, the Heavenly Network Gathering returned to its original appearance.


    On the way, Ning Tianping asked impatiently, "Heh, Your Excellency, how was today''s gains?"


    Ye Yuan mused for a bit and said, "Roughly calculating, there''s roughly 17 or 18 billion."


    Ning Tianping opened his mouth wide and said with a look of disbelief, "So �� So fast? Your Excellency, you''re really too crazy! You setting up a stall for a day already catches up to my Ning Family''s one year of income!"


    Although Ning Tianping was long mentally prepared, he was still taken aback with fright by the figure Ye Yuan said.


    One had to know, the Ning Family, this kind of imperial city''s major family, their one year''s net profit was also merely 20 over billion.


    But Ye Yuan set up a stall here for less than a day and earned the family''s annual income. This was also too crazy.


    He knew that Ye Yuan rented the stall for ten days. After these ten days, wouldn''t it be 200 billion divine essence stones?


    200 billion ��


    This was simply an astronomical figure!


    The more Ning Tianping thought, the more shocked he got. He never knew that earning money turned out to be so easy.


    His Excellency was simply a money-making machine!


    Ye Yuan seemed to know what he was thinking and said with a smile, "What are you thinking? These medicinal pills were all accumulated by me over several hundred years. Only selling them at one time will have this kind of effect. If really let me refine them, then even if I continuously refine pills day and night, it''s also impossible to have this kind of money-making speed!"


    Ning Tianping smacked his lips and said, "That''s also very impressive already! It''s also only Your Excellency that can accomplish this kind of thing. If it were others, under this kind of situation, there is nothing apart from despair!"


    The two people walked and just walked out of the Heavenly Network Gathering when three groups of people came over from three different directions.


    The one in the lead was actually a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse!


    No need to ask, these three teams were definitely sent by the three major forces.


    The sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord on the right-hand side said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, "Little Brother Ye Yuan, our alliance chief invites you to the manor for a chat, please honor with a visit!"


    Behind him was Zhao Jian. Su Ting''s figure was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, she went into a retreat already.


    That sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord in the middle glared at Du Mingliang and said, "Du Mingliang, you dare to snatch people from our City Lord Manor?"


    At this time, that sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord on the left also opened his mouth and said, "Little Brother Ye Yuan, our Blood Rainbow Manor sincerely invites you to our manor for a chat!"

 1651 Unfathomable.

    "What a joke! Who does your City Lord Manor think we are? Your father will snatch people from you guys! What can you, Mu Dong, do to me? Liu Han, scram to one side for your father. Careful because I will squeeze you until you explode!" Du Mingliang said with a cold laugh.


    "Du Mingliang, you''re so domineering! Going or not, doesn''t seem like you have the final say, right?" Liu Han said with a sneer.


    "You all get lost to one side for your Father! Our City Lord Manor is on the orthodox side. Little Brother Ye Yuan should naturally go to the City Lord Manor first!" Mu Dong said.


    Mu Dong came from the City Lord Manor, while Liu Han was the Blood Rainbow Manor''s messenger.


    The moment the three people met, they got into an argument, with signs of striking at a word of disagreement.


    Even though the three families jointly founded the Heavenly Network Gathering, the struggle between themselves had never stopped before.


    This capital city, even the City Lord Manor could not suppress the other two major powers. The havoc could be seen at a glance.


    The other two families did not have any respect for the City Lord Manor at all.


    Now, Ye Yuan suddenly appeared. These three major factions naturally wanted to build a good relationship with him.


    This Riverluck Capital City was a very sensitive place. Everyone fought each other and was also apprehensive of each other.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to take out so many void spirit divine pills at once, and also have Ning Tianping, this third-layered heaven Divine Lord as a guard, they had no choice but to speculate about Ye Yuan''s identity.


    The three families came to find Ye Yuan. They naturally had to investigate things.


    Even though Ning Tianping called Ye Yuan brother out of his mouth, that respectful attitude could not be concealed. People with a discerning eye could tell at a glance.


    Furthermore, such a young Divine Lord Realm powerhouse like Ning Tianping, only a major force could groom him.


    This way, Ye Yuan''s identity was definitely extraordinary.


    Moreover, how could ordinary forces be able to groom such a heaven-defying alchemist?


    Therefore, these three families were very polite toward Ye Yuan.


    If they were not wary of Ye Yuan''s identity, with these three major forces'' domineeringness, how could they possibly talk nicely to Ye Yuan? They would directly capture him and be done with it.


    The three people were arguing unceasingly when Ye Yuan suddenly said, "When have I said that I''m going back with you all? You all please return. I still have to refine pills at night, so I don''t have time to be a guest! Want to buy medicinal pills, please be early tomorrow. Not buying medicinal pills, don''t waste my time!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan directly circled around the three groups of people and went far away.


    Ye Yuan deliberately did so. The more unfathomable he was, the greater these guys would feel that he had a strong background.


    His strength plus cocky attitude was sufficient to make the three major forces not dare to act rashly without careful consideration.


    Ye Yuan coming to Riverluck Capital City was just passing and could not stay for long. He could not be bothered to have any entanglements with the native forces here.


    Furthermore, in a place like this, the three major forces were all cunning foxes. If he really went, he would let the cat out of the bag instead.


    Hence, might as well just ignore them!


    Sure enough, the three sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses, no one dared to make a move to stop. Ye Yuan swaggered away and left just like this.


    When the surrounding martial artists saw this scene, their eyeballs popped out.


    These three great factions domineeringly occupied Riverluck Capital City. No one dared to provoke in the vicinity at all.


    It was said that these three great factions all had powerhouses supporting them at the back. They were not merely seventh-layered heaven Divine Lords.


    All in all, this Riverluck Capital City was a large cake, everyone wanted a piece.


    But such powerful three forces, no one actually dared to make a move against this Origin Deity Realm brat!


    Clever people understood what was going on, dumb ones �� was only left with shock.


    The three major forces'' masters repeatedly exhorted them before coming, for these three people to not easily offend Ye Yuan.


    In the end, Ye Yuan did not even pay attention to them.


    The three people exchanged glances, discovering that the quarreling just now was plain silly, and could only turn around and leave.


    ...


    At the Sword Star Alliance, Alliance Chief Li Xing was not surprised after listening to Du Mingliang''s report.


    "Alliance Chief, this boy is truly condescending! If not for your many exhortations, I''d really skin him just now!" Du Mingliang said angrily.


    His strength was the well-deserving of being the number two person in the Sword Star Alliance. Normally, the wind and rain were at his beck and call. Today, he was actually ignored by an Origin Deity Realm kid, how could he not be angry?


    Li Xing''s gaze flickered, but he asked, "Oh, Mingliang, do you think that kid''s condescension could be feigned?"


    Du Mingliang shook his head and said, "Impossible! I''ve never seen before an Origin Deity Realm who dares to be so arrogant, completely not taking the three of us seriously! I, Old Du, followed you for so many years, I still have this bit of eye prowess. Moreover, wasn''t Liu Han and Mu Dong there too? Even if he can fool me, it''s also not possible to fool the three of us at the same time, right?"


    Li Xing nodded when he heard that and said, "Then that''s right! Only people who are accustomed to high-level powerhouses can disregard sixth-layered heaven Divine Lords like this. This kid''s background definitely isn''t small! Forget it. If he''s not coming, don''t come then. As long as he doesn''t go to the other two, that will do."


    Du Mingliang said, "Then �� that''s it? It''s said that this kid can refine level nine difficulty void spirit divine pills. If he can be used by us, then �� wouldn''t it be effortless for us to finish off the other two families?"


    Li Xing laughed in spite of himself when he heard it and said, "Finish off the other two families? You can forget about it! Once there''s one among the three of us that falls, then the entire Riverluck Capital City will definitely have to be reshuffled anew! The other two families are absolutely unable to escape by sheer luck! It''s been so many years. Do you, Old Du, still can''t see it clearly?"


    Du Mingliang was just a martial person and really could not understand the intricacies involved.


    How powerful the strength behind Sword Star Alliance was, only Li Xing himself knew.


    When Du Mingliang heard this, he was startled inwardly too.


    Li Xing smiled and said, "Don''t look at how our three families fight and kill. In reality, we''ve maintained a relative restraint. Once this balance is broken, then the consequences will be too ghastly to imagine! Therefore, even though this kid is monstrous, he''s not what we can afford to enjoy! This kind of monstrous alchemist can only be groomed by a super major force. And only they can afford to enjoy his ability."


    Pausing for a bit, Li Xing continued, "If my conjectures are right, this kid is very likely a genius disciple groomed by some imperial capital. He came out to train this time. That third-layered heaven Divine Lord kid is clearly not what ordinary major factions can nurture too! Furthermore, he might just be a cover and there''s still a true powerhouse lurking in the city! The Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate is about to open, so we''d best not bring up unnecessary ramifications!"


    The more Du Mingliang listened, the more alarmed he got. Only then did he know how grim the situation in the city right now was.


    Similar scenes were playing out in the old lairs of the other two major forces.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s identity, they were similarly extremely suspicious.


    While Ye Yuan at this time already found a place to stay in the city and started to refine pills overnight.


    Those extremely difficult medicinal pills, those able to afford them were in the small minority after all.


    Billions of divine essence stones at every turn, even ordinary Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could not possibly take it out too.


    Hence, the spirit medicines that he made Ning Tianping buy were all relative to some cheap medicinal pills.


    There were still nine days left. It was enough for him to make a killing.

 1652 Counting Money Until Hand Cramps!

    "Yoo, Du Mingliang, you came early enough!"


    Early next morning, Mu Dong came to the Heavenly Network Gathering, but he discovered that Du Mingliang was already queuing at the very front of the ranks.


    He waved his hand at that martial artist behind Du Mingliang and then directly cut the queue.


    No one dared to talk behind his back!


    Considering the strength of a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord, plus the faction behind him, if anyone made idle talk, wasn''t that courting death?


    The rules here were set by the three major forces!


    Du Mingliang saw Mu Dong and said coolly, "Didn''t you come pretty early too? I reckon that Liu Han is going to reach too, right? After all, it''s void spirit divine pill, so who can be unmoved?"


    Mu Dong nodded his head and suddenly said with a sigh, "If I''d met Master Ye several tens of thousands of years earlier, how good would it be? How many years of bitter cultivation would this save me?!"


    "Isn''t that so! Now, this rank three divine pill is already not much use to us. Truly a shame!" Liu Han arrived and exclaimed.


    That martial artist queuing behind Du Mingliang wanted to cry but had no tears and could only move another place back.


    However, this was not over yet.


    Apart from these three major forces, over a dozen more people came one after another. They were all middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    These people were without exception all powerhouses of the major forces within the city.


    It was a pity for that person. He was queuing in the middle of the night since last night. In a short while, he was squeezed out of the first 20.


    Right now, the procession was pretty much arranged according to the power of the forces in the city.


    The stall owner had not appeared yet and the stall was empty. But everyone was very orderly, quietly waiting for the arrival of the stall owner.


    Before long, Ye Yuan brought Ning Tianping and slowly stepped into the Heavenly Network Gathering.


    Seeing Ye Yuan arrive, everyone had an excited look.


    Yesterday, there were quite a number of people who bought the medicinal pills. Some news naturally spread out already.


    The medicinal effects of Ye Yuan''s void spirit divine pills indeed lived up to its reputation. A night passed, there were already quite a number of Origin Deity Realm martial artists who broke through.


    Therefore, everyone looked forward to Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills even more.


    After all, compared to the Divine Lord Realm, the numbers of Origin Deity Realm were still more.


    After tidying up, Ye Yuan gave Du Mingliang a glance and said coolly, "Begin then, what medicinal pill do you want?"


    Du Mingliang was cautious as he said with a smile, "Little Brother Ye Yuan, what level nine difficulty medicinal pills do you have? Is there a Vastsun Universe Pill?"


    But Du Mingliang was overjoyed the moment he heard and said, "Great! The two Vastsun Universe Pills, I want them! Additionally, I still want 20 Vast Essence Pills ��"


    Du Mingliang reported the names of quite a few medicinal pills in one breath. All levels of medicinal pills were involved.


    The martial artists at the back all listened until they were extremely shocked.


    Indeed loaded as hell!


    Calculating this total price, it was probably no less than ten billion, right?


    But Mu Dong and Liu Han were indignant. Mu Dong said furiously, "Du Mingliang, don''t let your appearance of eating be so ugly! Could it be that only your Sword Star Alliance has money?"


    But Du Mingliang smiled coldly and said, "Want to blame, blame that you didn''t come earlier! If you were the first, would you buy up these two Vastsun Universe Pills or not?"


    Mu Dong snorted coldly and said, "Don''t give me that! Today, you must leave one for your father! Otherwise, let''s showcase our true abilities!"


    Du Mingliang sneered and said, "Fight then. You think I am scared of you?"


    The scene was dangerously explosive, with the air of coming to blows at a word of disagreement.


    Also could not blame them, a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill virtually represented a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, which faction could be unmoved?


    At this time, Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Alright, keep making a row and I won''t sell a single one!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan fly off the handle, the three people indeed stopped.


    The martial artists at the back looked at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    What background did this Master Ye have, to speak to sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses like this? They actually did not even dare to let out a fart!


    Ye Yuan paused for a bit and continued: "If you guys can pool together the spirit medicines, I can also help you guys refine. As for the fees �� two billion will do."


    The moment Mu Dong and Liu Han heard, they could not help being overjoyed.


    Gathering two sets of spirit medicines with the strength of these two families was still doable.


    As for divine essence stones, they did not care at all.


    The three major forces had been entrenched in Riverluck Capital City for many years, their foundation incomparably deep. Several billion was really no big deal to them.


    Finally, Du Mingliang settled the accounts, he spent a total of more than 12 billion divine essence stones.


    "Little Brother Ye Yuan, here''s 12.1 billion divine essence stones, please count it." Du Mingliang handed the storage ring to Ye Yuan very respectfully.


    Mu Dong and Liu Han were also very gallant, each buying around ten billion of medicinal pills.


    Ning Tianping''s eyes became wide-saucers at one side.


    This money �� was blown over by a strong wind, right?


    Yesterday was just a small scale operation? So today was the main show?!


    These three major forces added up were already more than 30 billion!


    At the back, there was still a long line of people waiting.


    Although these forces could not compare to the three great factions, they more or less had some background and were also people who did not lack money.


    On this day, Ning Tianping spent it counting divine essence stones. He felt that his head was already somewhat numb.


    This was really counting money until hand cramps!


    When this day ended, Ning Tianping counted it, a total of more than 110 billion entered the accounts!


    One day, more than 110 billion!


    Ning Tianping felt like his heart was about to jump out. Was there still this kind of operation?


    However, this was not over yet.


    In the following few days, all the places that sold spirit medicines in the city were raided by the three major forces.


    These three great factions pooled together the portions of seven medicinal pills again. They requested Ye Yuan to take action to refine the Vastsun Universe Pill.


    Without a doubt, among level nine difficulty medicinal pills, the Vastsun Universe Pill was the most popular and also the most practical.


    Ten days'' time passed in an instant. In these ten days, Ning Tianping deeply experienced Ye Yuan''s powerful money-making ability.


    "Hahaha �� Your Excellency, this is really too crazy! Ten days'' time, a short ten days'' time, we actually earned more than 400 billion! Over 400 billion!"


    At the end of the tallying, Ning Tianping was happy until he almost went crazy.


    The profit of refining void spirit divine pills was too great.


    Just take the Vastsun Universe Pill for example, although its spirit medicines were rare, the total value was also just around 700 to 800 million.


    But Ye Yuan refining and selling it, it then became three billion!


    One Vastsun Universe Pill added more than two billion worth of value all at once.


    Of course, Ning Tianping understood that only Ye Yuan, this kind of freak, could have such heaven-defying money-making ability.


    If it were others, even Head Elder Xuan Yu and Second Elder Ruo Xu, they both did not have this ability!


    Because they could not refine void spirit divine-grade!


    Forget about void spirit divine-grade, even purple spirit divine-grade, they could not refine it.


    Therefore, the added value of the medicinal pills was naturally not that high.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''m also dog-tired these few days. There are still a few days before the auction. These few days, let''s go shopping in the Heavenly Network Gathering. Whatever good things we encounter, let''s buy them."

 1653 Supreme Token

    Having money was capricious!


    These few days, Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping only did one thing, which was to buy, buy, buy!


    Ye Yuan was unable to refine rank four divine pills currently and could only help Ning Tianping purchase some medicinal pills and natural treasures.


    Ning Tianping already cultivated to become a peak third-layered heaven Divine Lord now and already touched the bottleneck of fourth-layered heaven.


    But without Ye Yuan''s help, it was not easy for him to want to overcome this bottleneck.


    These natural treasures and materials were unable to refine into pills, the help to him was also limited.


    If buying some natural treasures could break through bottlenecks, the status of alchemists also would not be so lofty.


    Third-layered heaven Divine Lord to fourth-layered heaven was a big bottleneck. Even if Ning Tianping''s talent was very high, wanting to breakthrough under the circumstances of not borrowing external forces, without a thousand years, it was impossible.


    But Ning Tianping was not in a rush either. After all, his current cultivation speed was already very fast.


    And all this was thanks to Ye Yuan. He was already very satisfied.


    With sufficient divine essence stones on hand, Ye Yuan also began collecting some more valuable rank four spirit medicines and started to set about to researching them.


    In reality, regarding the study of rank four divine pills, Ye Yuan had long started.


    He had the World Suppressing Stele, the utilization of time was ten times of others.


    These 300 years'' time, deducting away the outside world''s time, Ye Yuan was equivalent to having spent more than 2000 years.


    These 2000 years, it was also impossible for Ye Yuan to blindly focus on how to create the cultivation method.


    Researching medicinal pills naturally became Ye Yuan''s second choice.


    Presently, Ye Yuan''s foundation was already extremely solid. Even without Dustless''s guidance, under his slow fumbling, he also had a tremendous understanding of rank four divine pills.


    But under Dustless''s guidance, his improvement was even more inconceivable.


    If he could break through to the Divine Lord Realm right now, directly refining level six or seven difficulty rank four divine pills was nothing difficult.


    But the gap between Divine Dao Realms was too great. The realms could not be jumped to refine at will like in the mortal realms.


    Only if Ye Yuan broke through to the Divine Lord Realm could he refine rank four divine pills.


    Rank four natural treasures were all very expensive. It was easily hundreds of millions of divine essence stones.


    Five days'' time, the two spent close to 100 billion!


    "Hahaha, Your Excellency, this feeling of spending money is too awesome! I finally understand now why your cultivation is so fast!" Ning Tianping said with a loud laugh.


    What was called spending money like water?


    This was called spending money like water!


    Spending 100 billion in five days, who had such boldness?


    To Ye Yuan, these divine essence stones were nothing more than tools to become stronger.


    As the saying went: even if money is gone, it can be obtained again in a flash. It was really too easy for him to earn money.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In the past, I only purchased some rank three natural treasures and didn''t feel that there was anything. Now, only after buying these rank four materials do I know what''s labeled as expensive. If I really want to spend, 400 billion is also not enough to spend."


    Ye Yuan wanted to take part in the auction, that was why he did not dare to really let loose and buy too much.


    When he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, 400 billion divine essence stones would be nothing to him at all.


    Buying some rank four spirit medicine back for him to research would probably not even be enough.


    One had to know that when Ye Yuan studied rank three divine pills, the divine essence stones expended was no less than several tens of billions.


    And this kind of expenditure, ordinary Divine Lord Realms could not afford it at all, let alone talk about Origin Deity Realm.


    The two people were currently chatting in the inn when Du Mingliang came to visit.


    "Paying respects to Master Ye!" Du Mingliang''s attitude toward Ye Yuan was very respectful. Even his term of address underwent a change.


    This kind of respectful attitude, he did not feign it in the slightest.


    The void spirit divine pills that Ye Yuan refined, the Sword Star Alliance already issued a batch, selecting some disciples with very good natural endowments to consume. The effects were surprisingly good!


    In the past, they had only heard of void spirit divine pills before but had never seen it before. Hence, they also did not know the effects of void spirit divine pills.


    But now, they finally witness the terrifying aspect of void spirit divine pills.


    Zhao Jian was the disciple who consumed the Vastsun Universe Pill, and he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm within three days!


    This kind of breakthrough speed was simply inconceivable.


    Furthermore, Zhao Jian himself said that the medicinal effects of the medicinal pill were far from exhausted, and still needed a very long time to digest.


    Barring no accidents, it could last for a hundred years!


    At that time, him breaking through to third-layered heaven Divine Lord was nothing difficult!


    This kind of medicinal effect, how could Li Xing and Du Mingliang not be astonished?


    As for the other medicinal pills, they similarly had magical medicinal effects.


    Hence, Du Mingliang was on all fours in admiration toward Ye Yuan now, and he was even more certain of Li Xing''s judgment.


    Ye Yuan was definitely some extremely terrifying major force''s disciple, they could not afford to provoke!


    Of course, there was no need to provoke as well!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in a lofty manner, "What did you come to find me for?"


    Du Mingliang said, "Master Ye, the alliance chief heard that you have the intention of participating in the Riverluck Auction. The alliance chief specifically had me deliver to you the auction''s supreme token. You can rely on this token to enter the auction''s supreme area. Apart from this, our Sword Star Alliance will give up 5% of the commission for Master! This token, there''s a total of nine pieces tonight, our Sword Star Alliance has three. This is one of them!"


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised. Giving up a 5% commission, that was a 5% discount.


    This was very seldom-seen in auctions.


    Because these auction goods were not owned by the three major forces. They were obtained by martial artists who took them to the Heavenly Network Gathering to undergo auctioning.


    Heavenly Network Gathering hosting the auction, they would draw a commission, considered as a labor fee.


    Giving up a 5% commission, this was letting the Heavenly Network Gathering''s profits become smaller. Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would be surprised.


    Of course, those who really go and take part in the auction also would not care about these few hundreds of millions of divine essence stones.


    Most importantly, this was a status symbol!


    Presently, the major forces in the city were too many. Some foreign forces, even the three great factions were very apprehensive.


    However, there were only a scanty nine pieces of these supreme tokens. The degree of value could be seen at a glance.


    But he also did not show it and just said coolly, "Alright, I''ll accept it. Help me thank the alliance chief!"


    Du Mingliang hurriedly said, "Dare not, dare not. Master Ye looks after our Sword Star Alliance a lot, so this is considered a small thanks of ours."


    Ye Yuan just nodded his head, considered to have acknowledged it.


    Witnessing the terrifying effects of void spirit divine pills, the Sword Star Alliance knew that these medicinal pills selling for 10 plus billion were simply too damn cheap!


    Now, if these medicinal pills were placed on auction, forget about three billion, even six or seven billion, everyone would probably fight until their heads were broken and bleeding.


    One medicinal pill creating a third-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse, it was extremely freaking worth it!


    Furthermore, the Sword Star Alliance should be the biggest beneficiary. Because they bought two additional medicinal pills.


    After the spirit medicines were collected, they approached Ye Yuan again to refine another two. Adding them up, it was four, the most among the three major forces.


    A mere 5% commission was seriously nothing.


    When Mu Dong saw Du Mingliang, he was immediately annoyed.


    Preempted by this guy again!


    This time, the Sword Star Alliance really earned big!


    Mu Dong and Du Mingliang were the same, both here to deliver the supreme token.


    The conditions they gave were the same as the Sword Star Alliance, both 5% commission.


    Soon after, Liu Han arrived too.


    Calculating it, Ye Yuan had a 15% discount.


    The three families added together, this benefit was not small.


    Nine pieces of supreme tokens, Ye Yuan alone acquired three pieces!


    Something that costs ten billion being 1.5 billion cheaper, this could not be said to not be great sincerity.

 1654 Roll for Me to See

    In front of Heavenly Network Gathering''s main hall, numerous powerhouses slowly entered.


    Those able to enter this place were basically all Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    For an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse, their net worth could not even buy leftover bits and pieces when they enter.


    Want to enter Riverluck Auction, one would naturally need to verify capital. Without tens of billions of assets, one could not even enter the door.


    The guard stopped Ye Yuan and said, "Please show your invitation card."


    Ye Yuan was just about to take out the supreme token when a mocking voice sounded out by his ear.


    "Get lost! A measly little Origin Deity Realm also wants to enter the auction, really overestimating your own ability!"


    The one talking was a young man, first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    But behind him followed a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord old man.


    To be able to make a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord be an attendant, clearly, this young man''s identity was extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed. Really, wherever one went, there were posturing fools.


    You enter your auction, I enter my auction, what did I hinder you in?


    That young man handed over the invitation and said to the guard at the door, "Your Heavenly Network Gathering is too careless. Why would you let just anyone in? An Origin Deity Realm, what can he do if he goes in?"


    Even though Ye Yuan''s void spirit divine pills caused a sensation throughout the whole city, those who had truly met him before were also just those few people.


    This guard clearly did not recognize Ye Yuan.


    The guard swept a glance at the invitation and hurriedly bowed and said, "Turns out that it''s Melody Sun Imperial City''s Young Patriarch Jing Lu. Pardon me, pardon me. Replying Young Patriarch Jing Lu, as long as one has the Heavenly Network Gathering''s invitation card, they can enter the auction. There''s no restriction in terms of realm."


    The guard''s words made everyone incomparably surprised.


    "That''s Melody Sun Imperial City''s Young Patriarch Jing Lu? I heard that he''s a peerless genius. When he was born, he was already initial-stage Origin Deity Realm, and he broke through to first-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm at a mere 500 years old!"


    "I also heard before. It''s said that him breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm in the future is virtually a certainty."


    Someone said softly, "But heard that this Young Patriarch Jing Lu is also notoriously overbearing, frequently taking advantage of his influence to bully people."


    ...


    Clearly, Jing Lu''s reputation spread far and wide. Many people had heard of him before.


    When Jing Lu heard the surrounding sighs of admiration, he was incomparably pleased with himself in his heart. He enjoyed these envious looks very much.


    Ye Yuan was tickled by this guy and said with a smile, "Invitation card? I really don''t have one."


    Jing Lu''s face fell and he said domineeringly, "Don''t have an invitation card, why haven''t you scrammed yet? Do you want this young master to send you rolling?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "How to roll? You roll one time for me to see[1]?"


    Jing Lu saw that Ye Yuan thought nothing of him and his expression could not help turning dark as he said in a cold voice, "Reckless and blind thing, a mere Origin Deity Realm dares to talk this way to this young master! Alright, this young master will let you know how to roll!"


    Around them, quite a few people felt that Ye Yuan was very unwise.


    Strength was clearly lacking, yet his attitude was still so unyielding. This was not having a backbone, this was being tired of living.


    Done talking, Jing Lu released his aura, a foot kicked toward Ye Yuan''s chest.


    Behind Jing Lu, that old man''s aura locked onto Ning Tianping firmly.


    As long as Ning Tianping had a hint of reckless action, he would take action.


    But what surprised him was that Ning Tianping did not have the intention of moving at all. Instead, his face revealed a hint of a mocking smile.


    This foot carried world power, how could ordinary Origin Deity Realm powerhouses be a match?


    The people seemed to have already seen the scene of Ye Yuan being kicked to death.


    However, just as that foot was about to kick until Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan''s body seemingly teleported half a position.


    Bang!


    A heavy punch struck Jing Lu''s face!


    This punch was caught off-guard, Jing Lu directly flew out backward, rolled several hundred feet on the ground before stopping.


    This sudden turn of events was too sudden, everyone all did not react.


    "What did I see? An Origin Deity Realm sent a Divine Lord Realm flying with one punch?"


    "No, wait! My eyes must be failing me! This is impossible!"


    "Isn''t it said that Jing Lu is a genius hard to come by in 100 thousand years? Why is he so weak?"


    "What that kid used just now seemed to be �� spatial laws! My God, spatial laws!"


    ...


    This scene was already familiar to Ning Tianping. But to others, they were shocked to the core.


    An Origin Deity Realm actually sent a Divine Lord Realm flying with one punch. This was too subverting.


    "It turns out that this is how you roll! The posture is really unsightly. I''m not going to roll then." Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Jing Lu scrambled to his feet. The facial features on his face all shifted, his nose aching until tears kept flowing, his appearance extremely miserable.


    He roared at the old man, "Uncle Huang, kill him for me! I want him dead!"


    That old man''s gaze turned sharp and he said in a cold voice, "Young man, you''re courting death!"


    Ye Yuan ignored him, fished out the supreme token, and gave it to the guard. He said, "I don''t have an invitation card, I only have this. Can I go in?"


    That guard''s gaze turned intent and he said in great alarm, "Supreme token! Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one had eyes but couldn''t see. I have offended Your Excellency, s-sorry!"


    The supreme token was the highest-level invitation letter for the auction this time, the ones invited were all big shots.


    With his status, he could not afford to offend at all.


    Seeing this token, his heart could not help palpitating heavily.


    Uncle Huang was just about to fly off the handle when that guard suddenly said coldly, "Halt! This lord is one of my Riverluck Capital City''s most honorable guests! If you dare to attack him, it''s becoming enemies with our three major factions!"


    Uncle Huang and Jing Lu somewhat doubted whether their ears heard wrongly or not.


    A measly Origin Deity Realm was actually Riverluck Capital City''s most distinguished guest?


    Jing Lu said in a solemn voice, "You dare to speak to me this way?"


    But that guard did not yield in the slightest as he said, "Apologies. Young Patriarch Jing Lu is naturally our important guest, but the higher-ups instructed that if anyone sees a guest holding a supreme token, we must receive them with the highest standards! If you dare to attack this lord, then I can only say sorry!"


    Not just Jing Lu, even the others also looked at Ye Yuan with incomparable shock.


    They completely could not understand, how did a measly Origin Deity Realm become the most distinguished guest?


    "Humph! A mere second-layered heaven Divine Lord, what can you do to me? Uncle Huang, what are you still waiting for? Attack!"


    The guard was merely second-layered heaven Divine Lord cultivation. Jing Lu did not take him seriously at all, directly ordering Uncle Huang to attack.


    But Uncle Huang hesitated.


    Before he came, Head Elder explained solemnly before, to make sure never to come into conflict with the three major forces.


    Riverluck Capital City was merely a capital city. If they did not have a certain background, how could they possibly stand tall?


    One had to know, there were three imperial cities around Riverluck Capital City. Among them included Melody Sun Imperial City.


    But these three imperial cities had very weak control toward Riverluck Capital City.


    One could say that Riverluck Capital City was an independent kingdom.


    Uncle Huang was not a silkpants like Jing Lu, so he was deeply aware of the seriousness involved.


    Killing an Origin Deity Realm was easy, but they already said the words very clearly.


    Ye Yuan was the most honorable guest!


    One had to know, even with their status, they did not get the supreme token.


    The importance of this token could be seen at a glance.


    Uncle Huang said, "Young Patriarch, better forget it! The less trouble, the better, let''s go in!"


    [1] Scram/get lost, can also mean roll.

 1655 Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets

    "W-What did you say?"


    Jing Lu somewhat doubted whether his ears heard wrongly or not.


    Uncle Huang �� actually yielded?


    Wasn''t it just a measly capital city? What was he afraid of?


    Uncle Huang pulled Jing Lu to the side and whispered, "Whatever there is, I''ll tell you in a while. This place isn''t a place to talk."


    Finished talking, he brought Jing Lu along and directly entered the auction venue.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were extremely surprised and started guessing Ye Yuan''s identity one after another.


    Very clearly, Melody Sun Imperial City did not dare to provoke Riverluck Capital City, while Riverluck Capital City did not dare to provoke Ye Yuan.


    Calculating this way, Ye Yuan''s identity was big until it was a little frightening.


    Just what origin was this Origin Deity Realm young man?


    In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "Eh? Isn''t this Master Ye Yuan? Why haven''t you gone in yet? The auction is going to start in a jiffy."


    Ye Yuan took a look, feeling that he was a little familiar. It should be a powerhouse who bought medicinal pills back then.


    This powerhouse clearly did not know what happened just now.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Going in right now, a small accident happened just now."


    That powerhouse smiled and said, "Then let''s go in together?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Please!"


    "Haha, to be able to walk with Master Ye Yuan, this Liu is extremely honored!"


    Done talking, the two people entered side by side, leaving behind everyone with shocked faces.


    "Wasn''t that the Soaring Sky Gang''s gang leader, Liu Changtian? He''s a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. He was actually so respectful toward that young man!"


    "I remembered! The Medicinal Pill Shop that caused a stir in the entire city these past few days, the stall owner seemed to be called Ye Yuan!"


    "It''s actually him! No wonder! No wonder! Even the three major factions have to queue up obediently in front of him!"


    "Heh heh, Young Master Jing kicked a metal plate this time."


    ...


    Ye Yuan and Liu Changtian entered the main hall. A middle-aged man came up to greet them.


    When Liu Changtian saw the arrival, his expression could not help changing.


    "I didn''t expect that Alliance Chief Li actually appeared in person!" Liu Changtian said with a respectful bow.


    Alliance Chief Li was naturally the Sword Star Alliance''s alliance chief, Li Xing.


    Liu Changtian did not expect that for the sake of this auction, Li Xing actually showed up in person.


    Li Xing smiled and said, "There are a few important people here tonight. This Li has no choice but to come. Master Ye Yuan, there was a little unhappiness just now. It was all our Sword Star Alliance who failed to look after well. Master Ye, please don''t take it to heart."


    What kind of status did Li Xing have? He was actually so meek and humble toward an Origin Deity Realm!


    This Ye Yuan''s identity seemed to have an even greater background than he imagined!


    Ye Yuan had never seen Li Xing before. But hearing the two people''s conversation, he knew that this was the Sword Star Alliance''s alliance chief.


    "Some small fries always like to jump around, no worries," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Actually, Liu Changtian did not know that Li Xing was also extremely shocked in his heart.


    Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm, actually sent the first-layered heaven Divine Lord Jing Lu flying with one punch! How could he not be shocked?


    Perhaps, this was a true genius!


    Compared to Ye Yuan, Jing Lu this so-called genius was like a frog at the bottom of a well. He was forever only able to see that tiny patch of the sky!


    Celestial Deity?


    So what if Celestial Deity?


    In the eyes of empyreans and heavenly emperor powerhouses, celestial deities did not even count as ants.


    Li Xing said, "Younger Brother Liu, I won''t accompany you anymore, please go ahead. Master Ye Yuan, I''ll bring you to the supreme box room. That place won''t be disturbed by outsiders."


    Liu Changtian had an awkward look as he said with a smile, "You guys go ahead!"


    This auction venue had a total of four regions. Heaven, earth, and man, three levels. There was also a region that was normally not open to the public, that was the supreme area.


    But this time, they actually opened up the supreme area.


    What astonished Liu Changtian even more was that an Origin Deity Realm actually entered the supreme area!


    One had to know, with Liu Changtian''s identity and status, he could only enter the earth rank region today too.


    Li Xing led Ye Yuan to a box room in the supreme area. The space inside the private room was very large, the decors extremely extravagant.


    There was a simple and archaic wooden table in the center. One look and Ye Yuan knew that it was made from Nine Profound Heaven Spirit Wood and that it was a priceless treasure.


    On the table, various styles of pastries and spirit tea were neatly arranged.


    By the side, there were even four extremely pretty maids serving on one side.


    In front, there was a massive light screen, projecting the scene from the auction below in its entirety.


    All in all, every little bit here evidently showed the inhabitant''s status.


    "Master Ye Yuan, you be inconvenienced a bit and stay in this No. 4 supreme box room for the time being," Li Xing said.


    Ye Yuan had a face like an old well devoid of ripples. It was as if unmoved by all these. He just said coolly, "I''ve troubled Alliance Chief Li, you go and busy with your own things."


    Li Xing said with a smile, "Alright, then this Li will take his leave. If Master Ye Yuan has any needs, let these maids go and notify me."


    Finished talking, Li Xing took his leave and left.


    After going out, Du Mingliang came up to greet and whispered, "How was it, Alliance Chief?"


    Li Xing''s expression was slightly dark as he said, "Indifferent whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation, style of talking uncommon, impressive in bearing. His background is definitely not small! Such a person isn''t what we can build connections with. Just send him away properly and that will do!"


    Du Mingliang was also extremely surprised. He did not expect that the alliance chief''s appraisal toward Ye Yuan was actually so high.


    ...


    These were naturally deliberately shown by Li Xing they all for Ye Yuan to see.


    Displaying martial strength outside the door was not a dispute caused by personal feelings, but that he wanted to let the three major forces know that his origins were extraordinary.


    How could an ordinary faction possibly groom an Origin Deity Realm martial artist who could jump realm and defeat a Divine Lord Realm?


    His goal was very simple. It was the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone.


    If let people know that he merely came out of a low-level imperial city, with his means, it would definitely attract a lot of covetous eyes.


    Even though he was not afraid, he could forget about getting the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone.


    Since that was the case, he might as well feign an unfathomable appearance. He would let everyone think that his background was extraordinary.


    This way, there was naturally no one who dared to touch him.


    However, Ye Yuan also deeply sensed Riverluck Capital City''s complexity.


    Behind the three major forces, there was definitely a Celestial Deity powerhouse manipulating everything.


    Furthermore, this Celestial Deity powerhouse was not even an ordinary Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Otherwise, there was no way that even Melody Sun Imperial City''s young patriarch did not dare to be insolent here.


    Before long, in the light screen, an old man slowly walked up the stage and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this old self is Jian Zhentao. I was invited by Riverluck Capital City to take on the role of host of this auction. Everybody rest assured, the things auctioning this time, this old self has already inspected them, they are all genuine goods. Furthermore, this old self believes that the auction articles in time definitely won''t disappoint everyone."


    After the old man finished his self-introduction, someone immediately exclaimed below the stage, "Jian Zhentao! Could it be a member of the Jian Family?"


    Jian Zhentao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That''s right, this old self is precisely Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets'' descendant, a disciple of the Jian Family!"


    Finished talking, the aura on Jian Zhentao''s body released. A mysterious aura reverberated amidst the hall.


    "Profound secrets divine essence! It''s really a member of the Jian Family!"


    "Once profound secrets appear, the genuine and the fake are immediately distinguished! Turns out that Elder Jian is a member of the Jian Family, pardon me, pardon me!"


    "Haha, with Elder Jian here, we can rest assured!"


    When everyone saw this mysterious divine essence, they immediately paid their respects to the old man.

 1656 Dao Ancestors Helplessness

    "To actually invite the descendant of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, looks like the things this time is really very good!" Dustless suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "Oh? Is this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets very powerful?"


    Dustless said, "More than powerful! He can observe the destiny of what''s under the heavens, talk about the life and death of martial artists, differentiate the truth and falsehood of myriad things, and is one of the most mysterious and most terrifying existences among transcendent heavenly emperors! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets'' art of observing aura is unparalleled under the heavens! See that divine essence? That''s called profound secrets divine essence. Only Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and his descendants can cultivate this kind of divine essence. It''s similar to a bloodline inheritance."


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, "There''s still such a mysterious divine essence?"


    Dustless nodded and said, "If Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets says that someone can become a heavenly emperor, that person will definitely become a heavenly emperor powerhouse! If he says someone will die halfway, that person is bound to meet with a premature end! As long as it''s things that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets predicted, it has never been wrong before!"


    Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart. He did not expect that there was actually still a powerhouse who discerned heaven''s secrets so thoroughly!


    What Ye Yuan did not know was that just a little earlier, Dao Ancestor Life quietly arrived at Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s manor.


    "Profound Secrets, 500 years ago, Heavenspan Mountain''s abnormality, what do you think about it?"


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave Dao Ancestor Life a very meaningful glance and said with a smile, "Life, it''s not like you don''t know my rules. Matters regarding the Heavenspan Mountain, I''m completely ignorant!"


    If outsiders were to know that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually talked to Dao Profound Life like this, they would definitely be incomparably shocked.


    Dao Ancestors were high and above, showing disdain upon the world.


    Even transcendent Heavenly Emperors were ants in front of them too.


    But this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually did not have the least bit of respect toward Dao Ancestor Life.


    Dao Ancestor Life frowned and said, "This, I naturally know. I just wanted to ask you if the time has come or not!"


    When saying this, Dao Ancestor Life had a solemn look, as if encountering an earth-shaking matter.


    Something that could make a Dao Ancestor powerhouse so visibly moved naturally would not be that simple.


    Dao Ancestor Life''s expression changed. Profound Secrets''s words poked his sore spot.


    The world all said that Dao Ancestors were above worldly considerations, but they did not know that Dao Ancestors had Dao Ancestors'' hardships too.


    "In that case, it''s really coming?" Dao Ancestor Life said in a low voice.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, "Oh, Old Mei, so many years have passed, you still haven''t gotten over it? Life and death are decreed by fate. It''s not what you and I can control."


    Dao Ancestor Life''s expression flickered incessantly, and he said with a sigh, "Saying is easy but doing it is difficult!"


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave him a glance and suddenly said, "On that day, I observed the celestial phenomena at night. In the south, Purple Qi surged to the sky. An abnormality is bound to happen. But this heaven''s secret, I can''t perceive it."


    Dao Ancestor Life''s gaze turned intent, his figure suddenly disappeared.


    "Vast Universe!"


    Before long, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Dao Ancestor Life.


    "Dao Ancestor!" Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe said respectfully.


    Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe was slightly fearful in his heart. It was rare for the dao ancestor to summon him one in a million years, what was this today?"


    Dao Ancestor Life nodded and said, "You immediately send people to the south and search carefully for me. See in this recent 500 years, what kind of heaven and earth phenomenon appeared! I don''t want anything left out, understand?"


    Heavenly Emperor Vast Universe hurriedly said, "Yes, this subordinate understands! This subordinate will go and send people right away!"


    ...


    "In front of everyone, it''s the appetizer that the auction this time is starting with. Divine Dao rank five martial technique, Heavenly Profound Divine Sword! This martial technique is very powerful, one can cultivate all the way to Celestial Deity Realm! Each level cultivated, one can virtually sweep across all in the same rank! The base price is ten billion! Each increment has to be no less than 500 million!"


    Jian Zhentao was clearly very experienced with this kind of auction because of his vast experience, stirring up the atmosphere at the scene with a few sentences.


    Divine Dao rank five martial techniques were martial techniques created by at least Celestial Deity powerhouses. The power was naturally extraordinary.


    And this cultivation method was clearly even more extraordinary. Jian Zhentao used sweeping across those in the same rank to describe it, it clearly let the auction liven up all at once even more authoritatively.


    Very soon, this Divine Dao rank five martial technique was sold at a price of 16.5 billion.


    Ye Yuan was not interested in this. No matter how strong the martial technique, it was also not as good as what was suitable for him.


    Clearly, the Misty Sword Art was the most suitable for him!


    The Misty Sword Art that was based on the Chaos Heavenspan Canon was something no martial technique could replace.


    Sweeping across those in the same rank was merely a joke in front of Ye Yuan.


    His current combat strength could already kill the majority of first-layered heaven Divine Lords.


    Same rank?


    To Ye Yuan, there was only jumping realms!


    Uncle Huang persuaded ardently before Jing Lu realized Riverluck Capital City''s remarkableness, and also understood what their threat meant.


    Jing Lu was arranged in the heaven rank area, which was also a private room. It was just that the private room was far lacking compared to the supreme area.


    "Young Patriarch, our goal this time is the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone. If the divine essence stones aren''t enough when the time comes, what should we do?" Uncle Huang said.


    Jing Lu waved his hand and said full of confidence, "No worries, we brought 120 billion this time. It''s enough to win the bid for the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone. The Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone is useful to the Divine Lord Realm, while its value to the Celestial Deity Realm isn''t that much. The price won''t be too high. This is a complete Divine Dao rank five martial technique. Our Melody Sun Imperial City obtaining it is also akin to adding wings to a tiger, who dares to say anything?"


    Uncle Huang saw Jing Lu''s aloof and indifferent appearance and could not help letting out a sigh and no longer urged.


    He knew this young patriarch''s temper. Say anymore and he would get angry.


    The price of 16.5 billion already exceeded the value of this martial technique. Uncle Huang felt that it was not worth it.


    It was just that these words, he did not dare to say it.


    Afterward, several more things were auctioned. The final transaction prices were basically all above 20 billion.


    The good things tonight were truly a lot!


    But these things were not indispensable to Ye Yuan. He could not muster up much interest.


    "I believe that tonight, quite a number of people are aiming for an auction item. This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone was discovered in an ore lode. Not only is the chunk extremely big, but it''s also very pure. This old man has already appraised it. It''s most suitable to use to help ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords and half-step Celestial Deity powerhouses to comprehend Heavenly Dao. This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, the base price is 28 billion. Each increment is no less than one billion! Now, start bidding!"


    "35 billion!" The moment Jian Zhentao''s voice faded, someone immediately raised by seven billion divine essence stones.


    Uncle Huang was slightly disappointed at the side. This Young Patriarch Jing Lu was still too young, no patience at all.


    Auctions this sort of thing, what was play was psychological warfare. How was it competing on the volume of voice?


    "37 billion!"


    "40 billion!"


    "50 billion!"


    Jing Lu directly added another 10 billion, everyone became quiet.

 1657 Backlash

    In a few bids, the price of the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone directly doubled.


    This stance of being determined to get it really cowed quite a number of people.


    However, this was clearly not the final outcome.


    With such a sucker placed there, how was there a reason to not cheat him?


    Suddenly, a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse shouted, "51 billion!"


    Jing Lu''s face fell. He was still pleased with himself for a while when he saw that he stumped everyone earlier.


    He did not expect that in a blink of an eye, someone raised the price.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "I don''t believe it! 52 billion!"


    That person said coolly, "53 billion!"


    Jing Lu was enraged until his face was livid and he continued, "60 billion!"


    This time, that martial artist did not increase the price anymore. He said smiled faintly and said, "I don''t want anymore, better give it to him!"


    The moment Jing Lu heard, his face could not help revealing a smug look and he said with a cold smile, "Fighting with this young master, can you afford to contend?"


    Jing Lu''s voice was not concealed, everyone in the room heard it.


    Those present were mostly clear-headed people, everyone''s faces revealed a knowing smile.


    He slightly used a bit of trick and he directly increased by ten billion.


    Uncle Huang could not bear to look straight ahead, but he could not speak up to warn either, his expression crumbling.


    Jian Zhentao smiled slightly and said, "60 billion, is there still higher than 60 billion? If there isn''t this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone will belong to the Heaven No. 5 Room''s guest!"


    Everyone was silent. Everyone felt that the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone already exceeded its original value and that it was clearly not worth to make a move anymore.


    Right at this time, a faint voice sounded out, "100 billion!" This made everyone feel surprised.


    Among the audience, someone immediately whispered, "100 billion! Someone actually offered 100 billion to buy a piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone! Isn''t this being a sucker?"


    At this time, an extremely experienced person explained, "Heh heh, a little interesting! This isn''t a sucker, but an expert!"


    "Mn? What do you mean?"


    "Clearly, this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, guests in Heaven No. 5 Room and Supreme No. 4 Room are determined to get it and absolutely won''t allow the slightest accident. But Supreme No. 4 Room''s guest has never made a move. He was waiting to see how much his opponent had! Now, his opponent is clearly only left with the Heaven No. 5 Room''s guest. And at this time, he raised the price to 100 billion all of a sudden. It has probably already reached Heaven No. 5 Room''s limits. This way, he can save divine essence stones to the greatest degree. Because Heaven No. 5 Room exposed too much!"


    "That''s of course! At times, auctions will encounter this kind of situation. Some people are aiming at an item. No matter what, he has to win the bid. At this time, the tactic becomes very important. You look, Heaven No. 5 Room still wants to increase the price, but he already can''t increase it anymore!"


    When Jing Lu heard this offer, his expression immediately became incomparably ugly.


    He brought a total of 120 billion out. Right now, he was only left with 103.5 billion.


    Ye Yuan''s price quote directly pushed his limit. He was unable to increase the price anymore.


    Gritting his teeth, Jing Lu yelled, "103.5 billion!"


    Then in the next second, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said indifferently again, "105 billion!"


    Bang!


    Jing Lu smashed the tea table in front of him with a palm and said angrily, "Damn it! This person is a lunatic, right? To actually spend over 100 billion to buy a piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone!"


    Uncle Huang let out a sigh and said, "Young Patriarch, forget it. That person is the same as us, hell-bent on obtaining the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone."


    Jian Zhentao also did not expect that this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone could be sold at such a high price.


    "This piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone belongs to the guest in the Supreme No. 4 room!" Jian Zhentao announced.


    He was very curious just who was in this Supreme No. 4 Room, to actually play with auctioning tricks to such a high degree of perfection.


    Actually, when Jing Lu called out 60 billion, he estimated that Jing Lu''s limit was roughly 100 billion.


    But he had immersed in this for many years, his experience being exceedingly rich. That was how he had this estimation.


    That Supreme No. 4 Room''s guest actually had such judgment too. Presumably, he must be an expert.


    Jian Zhentao thought in his heart, this Supreme No. 4 Room is rather interesting. In a while, I must broaden my experience.


    The following auctions had nothing to do with Ye Yuan anymore.


    Even though the cost of buying the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone far exceeded his expectations, he did not feel that there was anything.


    As long as it could preserve Mu Lingxue''s life, forget about 100 billion, so what even if 1 trillion?


    There were quite a number of forces present that came from Celestial Deity factions.


    The last few auction items could only be used by Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses. The competition was also abnormally fierce.


    These things were too far away for Ye Yuan. Moreover, Ye Yuan did not lack them either.


    As long as he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm and opened up the Purple Extreme Hall''s second level, the good things inside were definitely too many to count.


    After the auction ended, Ye Yuan went backstage to pay with divine essence stones. He did not expect that Jian Zhentao was actually already waiting there.


    Jian Zhentao saw Ye Yuan, his gaze involuntarily turning intent.


    He did not think that such a veteran bidding technique actually came from such a young person''s hands.


    "Elder Jian!" Ye Yuan said with Jian Zhentao with clasped hands.


    Toward this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Ye Yuan was still very interested.


    He very much wanted to understand what kind of Heavenly Dao laws could let them cultivate such mysterious divine essence.


    Jian Zhentao smiled and said, "Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! I really didn''t expect that Supreme No. 4 Room''s guest was actually such a young man!"


    At this time, Li Xing suddenly appeared and said, "Huhu, Elder Jian isn''t aware, Master Ye isn''t an ordinary young man!"


    Jian Zhentao was slightly surprised and looked towards Li Xing and said, "Oh? How is he not ordinary?"


    Li Xing smiled and briefly recounted Ye Yuan''s situation.


    In his heart, Jian Zhentao was wildly in shock. He said somewhat disbelievingly, "Alchemy God Li, you can''t simply say this kind of words! This old man has lived to this ripe old age and could be said to be very knowledgeable and experienced. I''ve also not seen before void spirit divine pills more than a few times."


    Li Xing smiled and said, "This matter, Riverluck Capital City''s people are all aware. Moreover, how could this Li dare to talk rubbish in front of Elder Jian?"


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s lineage proliferated, their family extremely massive, and they were scattered all over the Heavenspan World. Jian Zhentao was merely a very distant offspring of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    But even so, no one dared to underestimate Jian Zhentao too.


    Because no one dared to underestimate the Jian Family.


    Jian Zhentao was incomparably shocked in his heart and unconsciously revolved divine essence, applying it on his two eyes, and looked over toward Ye Yuan.


    "ARGH!!"


    Jian Zhentao suddenly screamed miserably, covering his eyes with both eyes.


    Li Xing could not help turning pale with fright when he saw the situation and hurriedly said, "Elder Jian, what''s wrong with you?"


    Jian Zhentao put down both hands tremblingly, the surrounding people all got a big shock.


    It was only to see his two eyes tightly shut with two rows of bloody tears flowing down the corners of his eyes, looking incomparably grim.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this kind of situation would appear and said worriedly, "Elder Jian, are you alright?"


    Jian Zhentao slowly shook his head and said, "This old self is inept and incurred Little Friend Ye Yuan''s ridicule."

 1658 Spirit Circle Projection

    Titanic waves surged in Jian Zhentao''s heart!


    His Profound Spirit Chaos Formula was already cultivated to peak fourth level. His art of viewing aura was also grand completion rank four. However, he actually suffered such a terrifying backlash with one glance.


    The grandeur of this boy''s destiny was simply appalling!


    "Elder Jian, you used �� the art of observing aura on Ye Yuan just now?" Li Xing seemed to have understood something and could not resist asking.


    Jian Zhentao knew that he could not hide it. So he said with a bitter smile, "Hearing what you said just now, this old self was somewhat curious. So I utilized the art of observing aura. I didn''t expect that �� this old man was inept and actually suffered a backlash!"


    Li Xing said in shock, "Elder Jian must be joking! Within the boundaries of these three imperial cities, who doesn''t know that Elder Jian''s art of observing aura is extremely accurate. How can you be inept?"


    At this time, another two figures walked over. They were City Lord Chai Rong and the Blood Rainbow Manor''s manor lord, Wang Chao.


    When they saw that Jian Zhentao''s two eyes were flowing with bloody tears, they turned pale with fright and said, "Elder Jian, what''s wrong with you?"


    Li Xing briefly explained the situation. The two people''s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan was full of astonishment.


    Looks like their judgment previously was indeed not wrong.


    "Elder Jian, I wonder what color Master Ye Yuan''s destiny is?" Chai Rong asked.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s art of observing aura was not a secret. A person''s destiny could be divided into seven levels. When observing aura, it would show different colors.


    Red aura was the weakest, while purple aura was the most prosperous!


    Normally, those able to reach purple aura, as long as they did not fall, breaking through to the True God Realm in the future was virtually a sure bet.


    That powerhouse who left behind the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate had once been viewed by the Jian Family''s art of observing auras, and the person had the most prosperous purple aura.


    Jian Zhentao smiled bitterly and said, "This old man didn''t see anything at all! But this old man reckons that Little Friend Ye Yuan''s destiny is likely the imperial aura!"


    He only took one look and blinded himself!


    "Imperial aura!" The three great powerhouses shuddered all over.


    Imperial aura, they had also heard before. It was just that in Riverluck Capital City, this kind of remote place, it was impossible for imperial aura to appear at all.


    Because people who have imperial aura appear could be said to have a heaven-defying destiny, and they were all able to step into the Empyrean Realm in the end!


    Could it be that this young man in front of them could achieve the Empyrean Realm in the future?


    Dustless already told Ye Yuan these, so Ye Yuan also understood the meaning of imperial aura.


    But he was not interested in this. What he was interested in was Jian Zhentao''s cultivation method.


    Ye Yuan suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Elder Jian, Ye Yuan has a presumptuous request."


    At this time, these few people''s perceptions of Ye Yuan were somewhat different again.


    A future Empyrean powerhouse, was he not worth them fawning on him?


    Jian Zhentao slowly nodded and said, "You say."


    Ye Yuan said, "Elder Jian, can you display your divine essence again? Junior wants to experience it personally."


    Jian Zhentao was rather surprised but did not refuse it either. Hence, he revolved the Profound Spirit Chaos Formula and released his divine essence.


    Carefully sensing the divine essence that Jian Zhentao released, Ye Yuan trembled all over.


    This divine essence was indeed incomparably mysterious. More importantly, Ye Yuan actually sensed a hint of chaos divine essence concept from Jian Zhentao''s divine essence.


    This made him incredibly shocked!


    Every martial artists'' divine essence would have subtle differences because of the differences in the cultivation method they cultivate.


    Some divine essences were suited to cultivate Sword Dao martial techniques, some divine essences were suitable to cultivate fire martial techniques. But those able to cultivate out a trace of chaos divine essence was one of a kind!


    "The world is so vast, looks like I''ve underestimated the heroes of the world! This Jian Zhentao is merely ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord and he''s already so powerful. I wonder how powerful that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets is!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion in his heart.


    Dustless said, "Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets has lived for god knows how many tens of thousands of years. He''s the transcendent heavenly emperor with the longest lifespan! There''s even a legend that he had once fought for the position of Dao Ancestor before but failed in the end. This kind of existence naturally can''t be placed in the same category as ordinary people. Those kinds of existences are all powerhouses who approach Great Dao. Cultivating chaos divine essence isn''t anything strange."


    Ye Yuan said, "Looks like my path isn''t wrong. Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, that kind of powerhouse, is also pursuing chaos divine essence! It''s just that their chaos divine essence is far from as pure as mine."


    Witnessing Jian Zhentao''s divine essence, Ye Yuan became even more certain of his path.


    What he wanted to do right now was to find the direction of the next step!


    "Many thanks, Elder Jian! The Profound Spirit Chaos Formula is indeed profound and inscrutable, Ye Yuan admires," Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    "Huhu, that''s the grace that''s bestowed by Ancestor. We only learned a bit of smattering; not worth mentioning. If Little Friend Ye Yuan is free, there''s no harm taking a trip to Extreme Light Imperial City," Jian Zhentao said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll definitely pay a visit next time!"


    ...


    In a corner of the street, Jing Lu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Uncle Huang, that kid keeps refusing to come out. He definitely bought something! Supreme region, those who would buy the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone is only him!"


    After the auction ended, Jing Lu was unwilling to accept it.


    He suspected that the one competing with him was Ye Yuan, so he stood guard outside.


    Uncle Huang also nodded when he heard it and said, "Very likely! I inquired before, he collected Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones previously. Bidding with Young Patriarch for the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone is within reason."


    Jing Lu''s gaze was dark as he said in a cold voice, "No way, I can''t stomach this! Uncle Huang, I''m going to kill him! Firstly, it avenges the enmity previously! Secondly, it''s also to snatch the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone for Father. Missing this time, Father will have to wait for no idea how many years before having a chance to break through to Celestial Deity Realm!"


    Uncle Huang frowned and said, "Young Patriarch, while that''s right, the three major forces are clearly partial toward him. It''s not easy for us to act!"


    "I also didn''t say to kill him in the city. When the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate''s inheritance is over, he''ll definitely leave Riverluck Capital City. At that time, we ��"


    Jing Lu had a vicious expression as he did a beheading action.


    Uncle Huang thought about it and said with a nod, "Young Patriarch''s words are reasonable! It''s just that �� I''m afraid that this kid''s background isn''t small. If we want to kill him, we''d better be fully prepared!"


    Jing Lu nodded and said, "Mn, you ask Father for help right now. Have him send more experts over! Heh heh, an Origin Deity Realm kid, to dare challenge this young master, this young master will let you know what''s called despair!"


    "Yes, Young Patriarch!" Uncle Huang said.


    ...


    On this day, the north of the city suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    Several hundred rays of light suddenly projected down from the sky, shining on the earth, as if spotlights.


    "Spirit circle projection! It''s the spirit circle projection! The Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate is now open!"


    This phenomenon made the martial artists in the city seethe all at once.


    For a moment, those martial artists ran wild all at once, speeding out of the city frenziedly, lest they get left behind.


    In the wilderness to the north of the city, a stone gate stood erect and tall.


    In front of the stone gate, circles of light appeared on the ground. The martial artists fought with each other, attempting to enter the light circles.

 1659 Fight of Spirit Circles

    "As long as one can last 100 breaths in the light circle, they can obtain the recognition of the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate and enter inside, obtaining the inheritance!"


    "All get lost for me! Those who bar me, die!"


    "This light circle is mine! Bang!"


    ...


    For some time, countless fervent gazes looked towards the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate. They all hoped to enter inside and obtain the inheritance.


    However, there were only merely several hundred seats. The competition was unusually fierce.


    In midair, countless divine essences countless without restraint, looking incomparably gorgeous.


    Horrifying powers of law undulated in the sky. Martial artists fell from time to time.


    The scene was extremely tragic!


    However, the truly powerful existences had not made a move yet. The ones who rushed over now were all small fries.


    "Your Excellency, these guys are crazy. It''s really terrifying!" Ning Tianping said emotionally.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "This kind of lucky chance is sufficient to change one''s life to bottom-level martial artists. They naturally have to do whatever it takes."


    Ning Tianping said, "Fortunately, this Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate has a bone age limit. Otherwise, it would really have nothing to do with us anymore."


    This Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate seemed to be searching for a successor. Hence, the skeletal age was restricted to under 5000 years old.


    Those over 5000 years old, even if they occupied the light circle, they would be rejected too.


    With Ning Tianping''s strength, he was already an outstanding talent among those below 5000 years old. Hence, him occupying a light circle was virtually a sure thing.


    Otherwise, once those middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouse took the field, what has it got to do with the others anymore?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s almost time, let''s go!"


    Ning Tianping smiled slightly, his figure rushing out.


    Ye Yuan followed closely behind and was actually not much slower than Ning Tianping.


    "You all look, there''s actually an Origin Deity who wants to occupy a light ring. Is he courting death?"


    "Hahaha, truly, there are all kinds of birds once a forest is big."


    "Mn? Hang on! Why can an Origin Deity Realm fly?"


    "It''s really so! I got it, he must have comprehended spatial laws! My God, truly monstrous!"


    "So what? Whoever prevents your father from obtaining the inheritance, your father will take his life!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan was seriously too conspicuous among a group of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, immediately drawing people''s attention.


    Under Ning Tianping''s protection, Ye Yuan directly occupied a light circle.


    Then, Ning Tianping also occupied a light circle in the vicinity.


    "Brat, get lost for your father!"


    Not long after Ye Yuan landed and occupied a light circle, a first-layered heaven Divine Lord rushed over towards Ye Yuan domineeringly.


    Occupying a seat was not the end, one must be able to hold for a hundred breaths before they could obtain the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate''s recognition.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, the Junyi Sword suddenly attacking.


    Rumble!


    That martial artist was directly blasted flying by Ye Yuan with one sword!


    Originally, everyone felt that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon. So they were all raring to have a go.


    This sword of Ye Yuan''s stunned everyone at once, making them not dare to make a move without careful consideration.


    "This spirit circle, this Ye wants it! Those who are not convinced, come and fight me!"


    Ye Yuan stood upright with his long sword, unparalleled and domineering.


    Even though he was just Origin Deity Realm, his aura surged to the sky, and actually gave those martial artists tremendous pressure. For a moment, no one dared to step forward.


    "How can this kid be so strong?"


    "An Origin Deity Realm could actually overpower a first-layered heaven Divine Lord with one sword!"


    "I remembered, heard that there was an Origin Deity Realm who defeated Melody Sun Imperial City''s Young Patriarch Jing Lu a few days back! This must be him!"


    ...


    The moment everyone heard, their expressions could not help changing greatly, revealing looks of apprehension towards Ye Yuan.


    For some time, there were already quite a few people who wanted to beat a retreat and compete for other spirit circles.


    "Everybody, attack! He''s only one person. I''ll see how many people he can block!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd fanned the flames.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold and looked at that person.


    That person was none other than precisely Jing Lu!


    Those martial artists being incited by Jing Lu were indeed moved.


    "An Origin Deity Realm kid also wants to occupy a spirit circle, dream on! Everybody, attack together!"


    Sure enough, over a dozen first-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses actually charged over towards Ye Yuan in unison.


    Occupying a spirit circle, one could not move anymore. Otherwise, precious time of occupying a spirit circle would not be counted anymore.


    Therefore, every person who occupied one must have the strength that surpassed people!


    Because they were all living targets!


    Clearly, Ye Yuan seemed much weaker among them.


    Seeing this scene, Jing Lu was very pleased with himself in his heart.


    "Heh, so what if you can jump realms and battle? I don''t believe that you can fight over a dozen Divine Lord powerhouses alone! Offended this young master and you still want to obtain the inheritance? Dream on!"


    Done talking, Jing Lu raised his long sword and also rushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan was surrounded by enemies in all directions!


    He laughed coldly and said with disdain, "Want to bully the weak with numbers? Then you all have to be prepared for death!"


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s threat, they naturally did not take it to heart.


    After all, Ye Yuan was just an Origin Deity Realm!


    Over ten of them, they did not believe that they could not force Ye Yuan out.


    Buzz!


    Those dozen over people were currently arriving swiftly when suddenly, with a series of whooshes, all of them fell down from the air.


    Misty Sword Art!


    Ye Yuan''s sword energy came out. Those few powerhouses who rushed in front were all swept by it. Their bodies being riddled with wounds by the sword energy.


    "Origin magnetic laws! My God, how can this kid''s means be so many?"


    "Spatial laws, origin magnetic laws, how can this kid comprehend so many obscure laws?"


    "Too strong! First-layered heaven Divine Lords are not his match at all!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s methods had astounded everyone.


    Under the gaze of thousands of Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, he alone swept away over a dozen people.


    First-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm powerhouses did not have the strength to retaliate at all in front of him!


    This kind of strength was already considered a top powerhouse among first-layered heaven Divine Lords.


    Such a person naturally had the qualifications to obtain a spot!


    "Who else is still unconvinced, you can all come! This Ye will receive you all!"


    Ye Yuan stood with his sword brandished, his gaze like a torch, aura imposing.


    Those powerhouses finally retreated.


    "Q-Quickly run! This guy �� This guy is too strong!"


    The martial artists who survived stumbled and crawled away.


    Jing Lu was suddenly assaulted by the Origin Magnetic Field just now and did a dog-eat-shit tumble.


    Fortunately, he charged a little later and was not hit by the sword.


    Otherwise, he would be a corpse right now.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s invincible figure, Jing Lu was full of fear and resentment.


    How could there be such a freakish person in this world? How could someone''s talent be even greater than his?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s gaze passed through the crowd and cast at him.


    Jing Lu''s entire body turned stiff as if being hit by a paralyzing hex, not daring to move in the slightest.


    The killing intent in Ye Yuan''s eyes was not disguised in the least bit. Clearly, he was genuinely enraged.


    Finally, all of the powerhouses retreated. Ye Yuan''s place became a forbidden place.


    Even those second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses were not willing to come and provoke Ye Yuan too.


    Not that they were afraid of Ye Yuan, but that there were soft persimmons to knead, why should they pick a hard persimmon?


    All around, bloody battles happened repeatedly. Quite a number of young geniuses perished, their Dao disappearing.


    But Ye Yuan stood proudly. No one dared to come up and provoke anymore.

 1660 Starry Sky Treasure Selection

    Finally, the fights became fewer and more sparse. The spirit circles each fell under someone''s ownership.


    But those who obtained spirit circles, most of them were third-layered heaven Divine Lords and second-layered heaven Divine Lords. The number of first-layered heaven Divine Lords were very few.


    After Jing Lu was frightened away by Ye Yuan, he also found a sucker and forcefully occupied a spirit circle.


    A hundred breaths of time passed, one spirit circle after another emitted traces of dense mist.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan felt that a wisp of his divine sense involuntarily broke free of his body, flying toward the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    Rays of light broke free, flying into the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate.


    Those martial artists who failed to snatch the spirit circles could only see these people enter to search for treasures off with their eyes with envious looks.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he entered a vast starry sky.


    "Is this the legendary Suppression Ancient Starry Sky? Indeed magical!"


    "Each star represents a treasure! The brighter the star, it means the more powerful the treasure!"


    "Still waiting for what, come on!"


    ...


    Treasure in front, the martial artists all lost composure, taking action one after another, flying over toward those stars.


    Those slightly darker stars, they did not take fancy on them. They were all aiming for those brightest few stars.


    It was just that they flew halfway and their figures were unable to advance an inch anymore.


    "Heh heh, really overestimating their own abilities! How can truly powerful inheritances be what the average person can obtain?" Dustless said disdainfully.


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was integrated inside Ye Yuan''s divine sense and was also brought inside.


    Ye Yuan said, "Wonder to which step I can walk to!"


    Dustless stroked his beard and said, "Huhu, with this old man around, you''ll naturally get the best!"


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling when he heard it.


    It was said that this inheritance was left behind by a True God powerhouse, but the Soul Suppressing Pearl was a peak empyrean spirit treasure. Dustless did not take it seriously at all.


    "The means of True God powerhouses are indeed inconceivable, to actually be able to create such a region of consciousness space! It''s just that no idea what the strongest inheritance here is?" Ye Yuan said.


    "The strongest inheritance is naturally not here, but in the depths of the starry sky!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan smiled at Ning Tianping and said, "Tianping, let us go and join in the fun too."


    "Heh heh, alright! I also want to see where my potential lies!" Ning Tianping said with a smile.


    Finished talking, the two people leaped and headed over toward the vast starry sky.


    A second-layered heaven Divine Lord martial artist struggled until his face reddened to the ears, but his body was unable to advance an inch.


    But he was only several hundred feet away from a very dazzling star.


    Right at this time, two figures lightly walked by him, incomparably relaxedly, forming a fierce contrast with him.


    Ning Tianping saw that that star was very bright and could not resist reaching out to fish it over.


    That martial artist glared and roared furiously, "That''s mine! You''re not allowed to snatch!"


    Ning Tianping said with an amused look, "Is your name written on it?"


    That person could not help choking when he heard it, but he was fiercely unwilling to submit in his heart.


    Comparing people, it was really odious!


    This region of starry sky, the deeper in, the higher one''s talent naturally was.


    He already used all of his strength to arrive here, but it now seemed like a joke.


    Ning Tianping carefully sensed it a bit, but his brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Your Excellency, this is a Divine Dao rank five cultivation method, it seems to be pretty good."


    That martial artist''s entire body trembled, the unwillingness in his eyes even stronger.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just a Divine Dao rank five cultivation method. Can only bring one thing out from here, throw it away."


    "Oh!" Ning Tianping casually threw it very obediently. That star returned to its original spot.


    That martial artist was utterly stunned by these two people''s conversation. This was also too casual, right?


    That originally thick unwillingness turned into astoundment at this time.


    Divine Dao rank five cultivation method, they did not even take fancy on it?


    One had to know, Divine Dao rank five cultivation methods were easily the price of one or two billion!


    That martial artist had tears coursing down his face, thinking to himself, you guys shouldn''t toy with people like this, might as well directly take it away.


    This was also too hurtful, right?


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping did not stop at all, directly leaving.


    While that martial artist was still desperately crawling forward, hoping to be able to reach that Divine Dao rank five cultivation method.


    It was just that no matter how hard he strove, he was always lacking that little bit.


    Several hundred martial artists, everyone had their own goals. But those able to reach rank five cultivation methods were originally already scanty few.


    As for even deeper, they were unable to arrive there at all.


    "Hahaha �� peak rank five cultivation method, Crimsonlight Nine Brilliance Divine Art! With this cultivation method, I can cultivate all the way to the peak of the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    In the starry sky, a voice suddenly sounded out loud, seemingly very excited.


    Not far away, some martial artists cast envious gazes.


    "Indeed worthy of being a genius known to definitely step into Celestial Deity Realm, to actually be able to obtain a peak rank five cultivation method!"


    "Sigh, the disparity between anyone is too great!"


    "Barring no accidents, the cultivation method that Jing Lu obtained will probably be the best this time, right?"


    ...


    Hearing the sighs of admiration coming from everyone, Jing Lu was extremely pleased with himself.


    Because in this starry sky, he walked right at the forefront.


    Clearly, his talent was the greatest!


    Melody Sun Imperial City''s apex cultivation method could only cultivate to the third-layered heaven Celestial Deity Realm.


    Therefore, without a special fortuitous encounter, Jing Lu''s final realm would stop here too.


    But now, it was different!


    This set of Crimson Light Nine Brilliance Divine Art was sufficient to support him to cultivate to the peak ninth-layered heaven Celestial Deity, only a step away from the True God Realm!


    Jing Lu believed that with his talent, he could absolutely cultivate to the ninth-layered heaven Celestial Deity Realm.


    Right at this time, two figures came over, seemingly very relaxed.


    Amidst everyone''s amazed stare, Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping strolled over leisurely and arrived beside Jing Lu very quickly.


    Ning Tianping gave Jing Lu a glance and said disdainfully, "A mere Divine Dao rank five cultivation method, look how excited it made you. Useless!"


    Toward Jing Lu, Ning Tianping did not want to have any favorable impression.


    Seeing him show off, he could not resist giving him a blow.


    When Jing Lu saw these two people, the joy from a moment ago immediately disappeared in a flash.


    Looking at the two people''s appearance, it seemed like they still had the strength to spare.


    While he was already powerless to move forward.


    "Humph! What are you showing off for? The further in front, the greater the resistance! I don''t believe that you guys can still advance much!" Jing Lu said with a cold smile.


    "Oh? Is that so? Then let''s wait and see!" Ning Tianping said with a sneer.


    Ye Yuan shot Jing Lu a glance lightly and said, "Come on. Just a frog at the bottom of a well, no need to care about him."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Ning Tianping and continued forward, leaving behind the black-faced Jing Lu.


    Sure enough, the resistance in front became greater and greater. Before long, Ning Tianping was unable to advance anymore.


    The tremendous resistance made it hard for him to take a single step.


    "Your Excellency, I �� I can''t move any more!" Ning Tianping said.


    However, he did not have the intention of being unreconciled to it.


    Ning Tianping knew that for him to be able to walk until here was entirely His Excellency''s credit.


    With his original talent, he was probably not even as good as Jing Lu.


    Ye Yuan glanced around and said with a nod, "Alright, you stay here, I''ll go further and take a look."

 1661 He Can Do I

    The end of the starry sky was a stretch of darkness.


    An unfathomable aura emanated from the darkness.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, directly taking a step out.


    Entering inside the darkness, a powerful repulsive force hit him head-on, as if going to push his entire person out of the darkness.


    Walking all the way until now, Dustless did not give him help.


    He relied on his own strength to arrive here!


    But his strength was clearly inadequate in front of a True God.


    A powerful soul force surged out. Ye Yuan felt the pressure on his body suddenly reduce.


    Since things that entered this place were only wisps of martial artists'' consciousness, this repulsive force naturally acted on the martial artist''s consciousness.


    But the Soul Suppressing Pearl was too domineering in this regard.


    Even a True God had to kneel in front of it!


    Just like that, Ye Yuan slowly moved forward, entering the boundless darkness.


    "It''s only because you didn''t break through to the Divine Lord Realm. Otherwise, there''s no need for this old man''s help at all and you''d be able to enter this space," Dustless said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That True God powerhouse should be looking for a Divine Lord Realm successor, that''s why he''d do so, right? Most likely, he also didn''t think that there''s actually an Origin Deity Realm who could walk until here."


    Dustless nodded and said, "That''s natural. Divine Lord Realms create a world, that''s a true Deity Realm powerhouse. Before Divine Lord Realm, accurately speaking, one is just a quasi-deity. Hence, he didn''t consider Origin Deity Realm martial artists at all.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Pity that I''ve been unable to open up a world and let him down."


    Dustless smiled and said, "A True God powerhouse''s inheritance is merely a minor assistance to you. Only true god mystic treasures, these things, still have some help to you."


    While chatting away, a starry sky vortex suddenly appeared ahead, being incomparably bright.


    "This is the true inheritance, right?"


    Ye Yuan took a step out and arrived in front of the starry sky vortex in an instant.


    However, right at this time, a horrifying aura came from within, making Ye Yuan''s expression changed drastically.


    This horrifying aura was extremely powerful, even making Ye Yuan''s consciousness almost collapse!


    A massive figure appeared above that cluster of starry sky, looking down at Ye Yuan with a gloomy-cold gaze.


    This gaze seemed to be somewhat angry and a little disappointed.


    That enormous figure said, "I didn''t expect that the first one to walk until here is actually just an Origin Deity Realm kid. It really disappoints this seat too much."


    A gentle force instantly wrapped Ye Yuan up, making Ye Yuan recover to his initial-most state.


    Ye Yuan''s consciousness only trembled for a bit and recovered back to its original state. This made the other party rather surprised.


    After being slightly surprised, he shook his head and said, "You have some skills, but your talent is too poor! Skeletal age already 500 over years old and actually still haven''t broken through to the Divine Lord Realm! You aren''t fit to obtain my inheritance!"


    This powerhouse clearly had an extremely high requirement toward the successor''s talent. Hence, the moment he laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he denied Ye Yuan''s qualifications to become his successor.


    One had to know, the 500 years old Jing Lu was already almost second-layered heaven Divine Lord and he could not even meet his requirements.


    Even though Ye Yuan walked until here, his realm was too low. He turned his nose up at him too.


    Ye Yuan was not angry and said with a faint smile, "This Ye already walked until here. Whether I get the inheritance or not isn''t Senior''s call."


    "Insolence!"


    The powerhouse was greatly enraged when he heard it. Pointing a finger out, the starry sky changed colors.


    A majestic and powerful will instantly crushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    What entered this place was merely a wisp of Ye Yuan''s divine sense. The target of that powerhouse''s attack was naturally this wisp of divine sense too.


    However, it was as if Ye Yuan was completely oblivious to it, and did not have the intention of resisting at all.


    Even though this powerhouse only left behind a trace of remnant thought, he was also a True God Realm powerhouse no matter what. Eradicating an Origin Deity Realm divine sense was too easy.


    However, when this burst of powerful will arrived in front of Ye Yuan, a terrifying energy vortex suddenly appeared.


    That powerful will was directly swallowed up by this surge of energy vortex.


    When the powerhouse saw the situation, his expression changed drastically. Pupils constricting, he said in shock, "This �� This is an empyrean spirit treasure!"


    A True God powerhouse''s knowledge was naturally not what the average martial artist could compare to.


    This horrifying energy undulation, only an empyrean spirit treasure could emit it.


    There was actually an empyrean spirit treasure on this Origin Deity Realm kid''s body.


    Moreover, it was even an extremely rare soul-type empyrean spirit treasure!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I wonder if I have the qualifications to be the successor?"


    The powerhouse''s expression flickered incessantly. He never dreamed that he would actually be threatened by an Origin Deity Realm kid.


    No, not threatened!


    A soul-type empyrean spirit treasure was simply his nemesis!


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, blotting out his existence was simply as easy as turning his hand over.


    Forget that he was just a wisp of remnant thought currently, even in his heyday, he was also not an empyrean spirit treasure''s match.


    The powerhouse suddenly looked up at the sky and said with a sigh, "Truly, a tiger landing in a plain! Looks like my, Mo Lifei''s, big enmity, it has no luck to be avenged! Kid, do it! Exterminating this seat, you can naturally take away the inheritance!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. This Mo Lifei seemed to have a deep hatred, that was why he would set up the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate here and attempt to find a successor, to help him get revenge.


    "Senior, you misunderstood. Actually, I''m not very interested in your inheritance. I just came in to take a look. If you really need a successor, I have a suitable candidate," Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Mo Lifei was taken aback when he heard that and soon after, laughed in spite of himself and said, "Yeah, you are in possession of a soul-type empyrean spirit treasure, so why would you take fancy on this seat''s inheritance? But who is the suitable candidate that you speak of?"


    Ye Yuan smiled, "Right in this stretch of starry sky, Senior should be able to sense it, right? He''s the closest to this place right now!"


    Who Ye Yuan said was naturally Ning Tianping.


    Mo Lifei''s brows furrowed slightly, his remnant thought flitted out, immediately seeing the Ning Tianping who was currently struggling bitterly.


    "Him? Although his talent is pretty good, he''s still a little off from this seat''s requirements," Mo Lifei shook his head and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior doesn''t seem to have a choice now! But I can assure Senior that he''s absolutely the most suitable candidate! If Senior has any grievance unrequited, you can entrust it to him. He can definitely help Senior to fulfill your dying wish."


    Facing an existence like Ye Yuan, Mo Lifei completely had no temper at all.


    Indeed, under this kind of circumstance, Ye Yuan finding a pretty good successor for him was considered giving him a lot of face already.


    Otherwise, if Ye Yuan wanted to directly eliminate him, he would not be able to resist at all.


    But Mo Lifei still shook his head and said, "You don''t know how powerful my enemy is! He might very likely already be an Empyrean powerhouse by now! Even by obtaining all of my legacies, the hope of revenge is also very bleak. He won''t be able to shoulder it!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "He can do it! Because he has me as a friend!"


    Mo Lifei''s gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan, being rather surprised.


    This kid gave him a strange feeling in all aspects.


    Moreover, for an Origin Deity Realm to be able to own an empyrean spirit treasure, this in itself was a matter beyond comprehension.

 1662 Three-Lives Nirvana Seal

    Seemingly making an extremely great resolution, Mo Lifei reached his hand out toward the void and beckoned.


    Ning Tianping was currently desperately trying to reach a star, but all of a sudden, he seemed to be sucked away by a black hole, immediately disappearing.


    When he appeared again, he was already in front of Mo Lifei and Ye Yuan.


    "Y-Your Excellency, what''s going on here?" Ning Tianping said with a baffled look.


    This existence in front of him gave him an extremely terrifying sense of oppression. That kind of power made even his soul shudder.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This senior feels that you''re pretty talented and wants to take you in as a disciple. Hence, he summoned you here."


    Ning Tianping was dazed and said in surprise, "Take me in as a disciple? Your Excellency, shouldn''t it be taking you in as a disciple?"


    "He has another teacher and is already not suitable to be my disciple anymore! This seat wants to take you in as a disciple right now. Are you willing?" Mo Lifei suddenly said.


    "O-Of course I''m willing!" Ning Tianping blurted out.


    Got to be joking! A True God powerhouse wanting to take him in as a disciple, this was a great lucky chance! So how could he possibly refuse?


    Mo Lifei said in a solemn voice, "Obtaining my legacy, you have to take revenge for this seat. Are you willing?"


    Ning Tianping''s gaze turned intent and involuntarily looked over towards Ye Yuan. Only after getting Ye Yuan''s affirmation did he nod and say, "Disciple is willing!"


    Mo Lifei reached his hand out and beckoned. That cluster of starry star vortex turned into several light dots and flew over.


    "These few things are Master''s legacy items!" Mo Lifei said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan looked over, only to see those few dots of starlight turn into several treasures.


    A cultivation method, two martial techniques, as well as several medicinal pills!


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, looking at one of the martial techniques, revealing a look of interest.


    Mo Lifei said, "This Starry Night Vast Cloud Art is a peak rank six cultivation method. It is sufficient for you to cultivate to become a peak True God. These two sets of martial techniques, one of them is called Starmoon Life \u0026 Death Sword, and the other is called Three-Lives Nirvana Seal! Especially this Three-Lives Nirvana Seal, it''s exceedingly profound and hard to learn. Master only comprehended until the second level seal art back then. This set of seal art is divided into a total of three seals. They are respectively Nirvana Seal, Life \u0026 Death Seal, and Six Paths of Reincarnation Seal. Cultivating to the limit, one can sweep across those in the same rank, jumping realms to battle will be a cinch!"


    Hearing Mo Lifei''s introduction, Ning Tianping was excited until his heart was virtually about to jump out.


    Especially this Three-Lives Nirvana Seal, it seemed to even transcend the scope of True God. It could be said to have boundless power.


    With these few cultivation methods and martial techniques, the tiny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was no longer able to constrain him.


    He was going to spread his wings, soar high, and venture into this outside world!


    "Senior, this set of Three-Lives Nirvana Seal, can you borrow this junior to take a look?" Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    He felt that this martial technique was very extraordinary and was very interested in it.


    A conflicted look appeared on Mo Lifei''s face, but he still nodded and said, "Take it and see then."


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Many thanks, Senior!"


    In front of Ning Tianping, Ye Yuan behaved very humble toward Mo Lifei.


    After all, from today onward, Mo Lifei was Ning Tianping''s master. He did not want to let Ning Tianping have any misunderstanding.


    However, Mo Lifei was clearly very wary of Ye Yuan.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s request, he naturally had no reason to not satisfy it.


    Mo Lifei reached his hand out and pushed. The Three-Lives Nirvana Seal arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan revealed a curious look, divine sense prying into it, and started inspecting.


    Mo Lifei did not pay attention to Ye Yuan and continued saying to Ning Tianping, "Your talent is pretty good, but the cultivation method that you cultivate is a little too low-grade. Master will help you refine the cultivation method right now and let you change it to the Starry Night Vast Cloud Art."


    Ning Tianping said excitedly, "Many thanks, Master!"


    Although Mo Lifei was a wisp of remnant soul, his means were clearly very powerful.


    He started to guide Ning Tianping little by little and refined his divine essence anew according to the Starry Night Vast Cloud Art''s method.


    In the process of refining, Mo Lifei also nodded slightly.


    This disciple that Ye Yuan recommended, while still barely satisfactory, was indeed a moldable talent.


    ...


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt like he was situated in hell, his entire person''s life force rapidly dissipating.


    "This is the Nirvana Seal? Tempering and advancing, nirvanic rebirth! This set of seal art is so profound!" Ye Yuan said emotionally.


    Ye Yuan immersed in the seal art, reminiscing his previous life and current life, these 1000 years, and actually had a feeling of great enlightenment.


    Wasn''t his life a life of nirvanic rebirth?


    How many times of facing despair, and also how many years of relying on his own efforts; nirvanic rebirth.


    Amidst this profound divine inscription, Ye Yuan''s consciousness became more and more empty and finally resulted in a quiescence.


    "Mn?" Mo Lifei was currently guiding Ning Tianping to refine his divine essence when he suddenly felt that Ye Yuan''s life force was currently rapidly disappearing.


    "This kid actually wants to forcefully comprehend the Nirvana Seal, he''s courting death here!"


    Mo Lifei turned pale with fright and was about to go and interrupt Ye Yuan''s comprehension.


    "Master!" Ning Tianping hurriedly shouted.


    "Mn?" Mo Lifei looked at Ning Tianping doubtfully.


    Ning Tianping said, "Master rest assured, His Excellency won''t mess around! His Excellency''s talent is hundreds, thousands of times better than mine. Even if the comprehension fails, there won''t be any danger to his life too. Let him be."


    Mo Lifei laughed in spite of himself and said, "Do you really think that a True God Realm skill is so simple? If it is that simple, don''t know how many people in this world can break through to become a True God already."


    But Ning Tianping said firmly, "I don''t know about others, but �� His Excellency definitely can! Spatial laws are known as the supreme laws that are the hardest to comprehend in this world. But His Excellency only used a hundred years'' time and comprehended two layers of heaven!"


    Mo Lifei''s gaze turned sharp, incomparably shocked in his heart.


    As a True God powerhouse, he was clearer than others how difficult spatial laws were to comprehend.


    This kid in front of him actually only used a hundred years'' time and comprehended two layers of heaven?


    Was this a joke?


    Just as he was in shock, the Ye Yuan who originally already returned to quiescence, his aura suddenly became strong.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan abruptly snapped open his eyes and flagrantly fired out a seal!


    Rumble ��


    The entire region of starry sky started trembling. The stars in the distance suddenly became dim!


    "W-What happened?"


    "Could it be that this stretch of space is going to collapse?"


    "Q-Quickly run!"


    ...


    The Divine Lord Realm powerhouses who were still outside choosing treasures, after seeing this scene, each and every one of them was frightened until they turned deathly pale.


    Once the space collapsed, they would have to be buried inside.


    Even if it was just a wisp of divine sense, it would cause tremendous damage to their main body too. Wanting to break through in the future would no longer be possible.


    Mo Lifei''s gaze revealed a panic-stricken look as he said in shock, "C-Comprehended! I spent several thousand years before comprehending this first seal. He only used this short while and is already at grand completion?"


    Yes, this first seal of the Nirvana Seal, Ye Yuan already fully mastered it, cultivating to the realm of grand completion!

 1663 Looking for Abuse

    Life and death reincarnation, suddenly an epiphany in one move.


    This set of seal art was simply tailor-made for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension ability was abnormally high to begin with. Coupled with his bumpy journey and setbacks during his life, his experiences were far from what the average person could compare to.


    This Nirvana Seal, he directly comprehended it.


    When Ning Tianping saw that Ye Yuan had a sudden epiphany, he could not help saying with great joy, "Congratulations, Your Excellency! Master, what did I say just now? His Excellency is very impressive, right?"


    Mo Lifei appeared slightly embarrassed as he smiled, extremely shocked in his heart.


    He even turned his nose up at Ye Yuan earlier, feeling that Ye Yuan''s talent was too inferior.


    Only now did he know how ridiculously wrong he was!


    This kind of comprehension ability was simply astounding.


    "Huhu, Little Friend Ye Yuan''s comprehension ability is truly terrifying. For your master to be able to take in a disciple like you, it''s truly a blessing!" Mo Lifei said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I entered the state of sudden epiphany by chance, comprehending the Nirvana Seal. You guys carry on. I''ll consolidate this set of seal art."


    Under Mo Lifei''s guidance, Ning Tianping''s cultivation method was converted very quickly.


    When his cultivation method was finished converting, it would also be equivalent to familiarizing with this Starry Night Vast Cloud Art cultivation method once. Cultivating in the future would also yield twice the results with half the effort.


    "Master, you said that you''re burdened with a deep-seated hatred. But you still haven''t told me who your enemy is," Ning Tianping suddenly asked.


    Mo Lifei let out a sigh and said, "Wait till your strength is sufficient, then Master will naturally tell you."


    Ning Tianping nodded his head. He also knew that his current strength was too weak, and talking about taking revenge was still too early.


    "Master, this disciple and His Excellency will be leaving for the Heavenspan Mountain right away. Come together with us!" Ning Tianping said with a look of anticipation.


    The pure-minded Ning Tianping felt that Mo Lifei was very good to him. These few days, quite a bit of teacher-student relationship was also nurtured between the two.


    Now, Mo Lifei already gradually recognized this disciple.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, this disciple did not disappoint him.


    But more importantly, it was his faith in Ye Yuan!


    Hearing Ning Tianping''s invitation, Mo Lifei was rather moved, but he shook his head very soon and said, "Master won''t be going, you guys go ahead."


    Mo Lifei''s gaze turned intent and he said, "You �� You actually still have a soul-type mystic treasure!"


    This ring was shockingly a soul-type divine lord mystic treasure too.


    Although compared to the Soul Suppressing Pearl, it did not even count as trash, there was still no problem for Mo Lifei to shelter himself inside.


    Mo Lifei was merely a wisp of remnant soul currently, with not much life force left.


    He left behind numerous contingencies in this Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate in order to preserve his remnant soul. But once he left this place, his life force would dissipate rapidly.


    This spirit void ring was a soul-type divine lord mystic treasure in the Purple Extreme Hall.


    Either way, Ye Yuan had no use for it, so gifting it to Ning Tianping was just right.


    The moment Ning Tianping understood the situation, he could not help being overjoyed as he said, "Haha, great! Master, we can leave this lousy place! Don''t you worry! Disciple will definitely cultivate hard and strive to help Master take revenge soon!"


    Mo Lifei was agitated in his heart and said with a nod, "Alright, then I shall shelter myself inside this spirit void ring!"


    He was inexplicably shocked in his heart. The secrets on this kid called Ye Yuan were truly too many.


    Even though it was just a divine lord mystic treasure, soul-type divine lord mystic treasures were exceedingly rare.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had a second of such a treasure on him.


    ...


    Above the wilderness outside the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate, the powerful spiritual energy storm gradually dissipated.


    Jing Lu was in high and vigorous spirits. He obtained the Crimson Light Nine Brilliance Divine Art. After coming out and converting his cultivation method, he touched the second-layered heaven Divine Lord bottleneck very quickly, and actually directly broke through.


    "Indeed well-deserving of being Young Patriarch Jing Lu! This kind of talent is truly rare in the world!"


    "It''s said that he broke through to first-layered heaven Divine Lord for less than 50 years and actually broke through to second-layered heaven Divine Lord already!"


    "Obtaining a Divine Dao peak rank five cultivation method this time, he''ll likely become a peerless powerhouse in the future!"


    ...


    The people were all sighing with amazement at Jing Lu''s talent. The speed of his cultivation was indeed too fast, causing people to marvel in wonder.


    Right at this time, two rays of light shot out of the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate and returned to the spirit circle.


    "It''s Master Ye Yuan!"


    "I heard that he entered the depths of the starry sky this time. Wonder whether he obtained a Divine Dao rank six treasure or not!"


    "Might not! Rank six treasures are very rare. Even if they entered the depths of the starry sky, they might not be able to obtain it either."


    ...


    Quite a number of people were all guessing just what kind of harvests Ye Yuan gained.


    But Jing Lu''s expression turned dark and he came up to greet them.


    "Ye Yuan, you postured with me previously and looked down on a peak rank five cultivation method. I wonder what you obtained?" Jing Lu said with a cold smile.


    Toward this arrogant fellow, Ye Yuan could only be speechless. He just said coolly, "What has what I obtained got to do with you?"


    Jing Lu did not get angry either and said with a smile, "Ye Yuan, I want to challenge you! If you lose, I don''t want your treasure either, bring it out for everyone to take a look! Do you dare or not?"


    Jing Lu was certain that Ye Yuan definitely obtained some kind of important treasure and was afraid of displaying it and being coveted by everyone.


    What he wanted to do right now was to force Ye Yuan to show the treasure and draw everyone''s hostility.


    He did not believe that nobody was unmoved.


    Jing Lu''s little scheme, how could Ye Yuan not perceive it?


    He looked at Jing Lu with a smile that was not a smile and said, "You already broke through to become a second-layered heaven Divine Lord. Challenging me, an Origin Deity Realm, your skin is really thick!"


    With Ye Yuan saying so, there were indeed quite a number of people who gestured and pointed, very disdainful towards his actions.


    This was a blatant bullying people!


    However, Jing Lu was clearly long prepared and said with a smile, "You''re not an ordinary Origin Deity Realm. Your strength is even stronger than the vast majority of first-layered heaven Divine Lords. Now, you also obtained a precious treasure in the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate. Jumping another realm to battle is also not impossible!"


    "This �� This is also too shameless!"


    "Yeah! Although we''re very curious about what treasure Ye Yuan obtained, this kind of shameless words still makes people perspire in shame!"


    "An Origin Deity Realm jumping realms to defeat a first-layered heaven Divine Lord is already freakish to the extreme. But to further defeat a second-layered heaven Divine Lord, how is this possible?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed when he heard it and said, "You really want to know what treasure I obtained?"


    Jing Lu smiled and said, "That''s of course! Not just I want, I think everyone wants to know. I''m merely helping everyone speak their mind."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll grant your wish!"


    The moment Jing Lu heard, he could not help revealing a smile of his trickery succeeding.


    He did not believe that with his current strength, Ye Yuan could still beat him!


    "Make your move!" Jing Lu said with a confident face.


    Ye Yuan smiled, the divine essence in his entire body rousing. A mysterious and profound seal condensed and formed very quickly!


    Sensing that horrifying energy undulation, Jing Lu''s expression suddenly changed.


    "Nirvana Seal!"


    Ye Yuan injected all of the divine essence in his body and brazenly fired a seal out!

 1664 Exposed

    "Careful, Young Patriarch!"


    From far away, when Uncle Huang saw Ye Yuan''s seal, his face similarly revealed a look of great shock.


    It was only to see his figure suddenly dash out, wanting to save Jing Lu.


    However, he was too far away. Ye Yuan''s Nirvana Seal arrived in an instant.


    "Netherkill Extreme Light Sword!"


    Seeing such a terrifying seal art, the scent of death hit him head-on. How could Jing Lu still dare to slight it? The moment he made his move, it was his strongest attack.


    He was risking his life to counterattack!


    Breaking through to become a second-layered heaven Divine Lord, the power of his sword techniques naturally increased greatly too.


    But in front of Ye Yuan''s Nirvana Seal, it still somewhat paled in comparison.


    This Nirvana Seal gave people a very strange feeling like it was an envoy who hooked the soul; very terrifying.


    Rumble!


    The two attacks collided together like comets!


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan and Jing Lu flew out backward at the same time.


    Ning Tianping''s expression changed and hurriedly went up to catch Ye Yuan, exclaiming, "Your Excellency, are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I''m fine, go!"


    Ning Tianping was shocked inwardly and immediately did not dare to stay, bringing Ye Yuan, figure speeding away like lightning.


    "Young Patriarch!"


    Uncle Huang also rushed over, but Jing Lu''s situation was clearly not too good, life force rapidly dissipating. It looked like he could not survive anymore.


    Everyone present was incomparably shocked.


    "D-Dead?"


    "My eyesight isn''t failing, right? Young Patriarch Jing Lu died just like this?"


    "What seal art is that? To actually be able to kill a second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse?"


    "Can''t be �� that this seal art is the treasure he obtained in the Suppression Ancient Heaven Gate, right?"


    ...


    Uncle Huang''s eyes turned blood-red, his gaze revealing a murderous look as he roared angrily, "Ye Yuan, if I don''t kill you, I''m not human!"


    Finished talking, he put away Jing Lu''s corpse, turned into a stream of flowing light, and chased after.


    Fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, his strength was far stronger than third-layered heaven Divine Lord, practically equivalent to a major realm.


    His speed was far from what Ning Tianping could compare to.


    Ning Tianping sprinted madly. Suddenly, he sensed a terrifying aura catching up from the rear and his expression could not help changing.


    "Your Excellency, that person caught up!"


    Ye Yuan''s complexion was pale. His injury was not serious, but that Nirvana Seal''s consumption on his divine essence was too terrifying.


    His entire person seemed to be wrung dry!


    Even so, him using one Nirvana Seal move nearly drained him into a human jerky!


    This move could only be used as a trump card.


    Otherwise, firing this move out, he would be directly invalidated.


    But the power of this move also indeed surpassed imagination. It was even stronger than the Misty Sword Art.


    "Ignore him! I''ll recover divine essence first!" Ye Yuan said.


    "Kid, you were too reckless! With your current strength, provoking such a powerful opponent, isn''t this courting death?" Mo Lifei suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan just smiled palely and did not speak.


    But Ning Tianping said, "Just a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, His Excellency still hasn''t taken him seriously."


    Mo Lifei could not help choking. Could it be that this kid still had other methods?


    But just now, when Ye Yuan fired out the Nirvana Seal, Mo Lifei was deeply astonished.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s divine essence was actually able to support the Nirvana Seal.


    That kind of power was truly terrifying.


    The three people, you chase, I ran, ten thousand miles in a flash. Riverluck Capital City became smaller and smaller.


    Right at this time, several figures suddenly appeared at the horizon.


    The moment Uncle Huang saw, he could not help being overjoyed as he called out, "Xiang Yunfei, Sun Qing, Zheng Shan, stop that boy for me! They killed Young Patriarch!"


    These few people were precisely Melody Sun Imperial City''s reinforcements!


    When the few people heard Uncle Huang''s yell, they involuntarily trembled all over, hurriedly stopped Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping no longer had a way out being pincered in front and from the rear.


    Finally, the four people formed an encirclement ring.


    "Huang Hai, what''s going on? Is what you said just now true?" Xiang Yunfei looked at Uncle Huang and asked in a solemn voice.


    Huang Hai''s expression was very ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Talk again after this matter is over. After killing these two villains, this old man will naturally take my own life to offer an apology!"


    Xiang Yunfei trio''s hearts sunk to rock-bottom. It seemed like Young Patriarch Jing Lu really died!


    Jing Lu''s status in Melody Sun Imperial City was too high. The impact of his death on Melody Sun Imperial City was too great. Saying that it was an earthquake was also not overboard.


    Xiang Yunfei''s two eyes narrowed, looked at Ning Tianping, and said in a cold voice, "You killed Young Patriarch? Do you know what kind of consequences you have to bear?"


    "Not him, it''s that Origin Deity Realm kid!" Huang Hai interjected.


    The three people''s expressions changed. Sun Qing said angrily, "Huang Hai, do you take us to be three-year-old kids? Can an Origin Deity Realm kid kill Young Patriarch?"


    Huang Hai said in a solemn voice, "If it was that kid who made a move, could this old man not be alert? It''s because it was too unexpected that this old man couldn''t save Young Patriarch in time! Moreover, Young Patriarch was killed in a direct confrontation by that Origin Deity Realm kid after breaking through to second-layered heaven Divine Lord!"


    "WHAT?!"


    The three people spoke in unison, their eyeballs almost popping out.


    They felt that Huang Hai was simply telling bald-faced lies.


    Origin Deity Realm, forget about killing in direct confrontation, even sneaking attacking, it was also impossible to kill a second-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    Huang Hai knew that they did not believe and said in a solemn voice, "This matter was personally witnessed by thousands of people, can this old man still talk nonsense? Enough crap, after capturing these two punks, I''ll tell you guys more in detail."


    The three people were incomparably shocked in their hearts, but locked onto Ning Tianping and Ye Yuan from far away.


    "Kid, cripple your divine sea right now and surrender without resisting. I can make it painless for you!" Xiang Yunfei said coldly.


    Ye Yuan had long swallowed divine essence recovering medicinal pills. At this time, his divine essence already recovered a little.


    Hearing Xiang Yunfei''s words, Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "Was your head pressed by a door? Why should I cripple my divine sea? Jing Lu provoked me time and again, and already had killing intent towards this young master. Not killing him, do I wait for him to come and kill me?"


    Seeing Xiang Yunfei three people, how could Ye Yuan still not understand what was going on?


    This Jing Lu clearly called for reinforcements to come and kill him!


    Xiang Yunfei said with a cold snort, "Razor-tongued! Since that''s the case, then this seat will personally take action and let you suffer the anguish of purgatory on earth, so as to comfort Young Patriarch''s spirit in heaven!"


    This Xiang Yunfei''s strength was the strongest, a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse!


    At this time, him attacking in a violent rage, the impetus was extremely horrifying.


    Smacking a palm out, the powerful world power seemed to be like a large mountain crushing over.


    "Damn it! You, punk, can really make trouble! Only at the Origin Deity Realm and you attracted such a powerful opponent! Forget it, you guys quickly escape. This seat will risk my life to help you all escape!" Mo Lifei heaved a sigh and was about to use the last trace of his remnant soul''s power to cover the two people''s escape.


    But Ye Yuan said, "Senior, don''t have to do so, it''s still not the end of the road yet! Tianping, go!"


    Rumble!


    After a huge rumble, Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping �� vanished!


    Xiang Yunfei''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "Mn? Where are they?"


    Swoosh!


    A stream of flowing light suddenly sprang out, directly flying past Xiang Yunfei.

 1665 Unbelievably Stifled

    "Spatial flying-type mystic treasure! Chase! We mustn''t let him escape!"


    Xiang Yunfei''s expression changed greatly. Lifting his hand, it was a palm attack again, slamming solidly on the Purple Extreme Hall.


    However, the Purple Extreme Hall did not budge an inch!


    Huang Hai''s expression changed too, his figure moving swiftly, world power crushing over toward the Purple Extreme Hall crazily.


    Four great middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouse attacking, how shocking was the impetus?


    The berserk world power stuck to the Purple Extreme Hall tightly, slowing down its speed.


    "Pummel it brutally for me! When their divine essence stones are exhausted, I want to see if he comes out or not!" Xiang Yunfei shouted loudly.


    Therefore, the four people each executed their means, bombarding over towards the Purple Extreme Hall frenziedly.


    Within the Purple Extreme Hall, Ye Yuan was completely unruffled, quietly recovering divine essence.


    Rumble!


    From the outside, massive booming sounds could be heard. Even Ning Tianping''s expression changed slightly too.


    Four middle-stage Divine Lord Realms, among them, there was even a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. This attack was too horrifying.


    The divine essence stones supporting the Purple Extreme Hall''s defense were also being consumed wildly.


    This time it was different from that incident at the Fiend Calling Ridge. At that time, it was the few Celestial Deity powerhouses who took the enemy too lightly and did not investigate carefully at all. That was how Ye Yuan smoked through.


    But this time, the Purple Extreme Hall was right under Xiang Yunfei''s eyelids. Even if turned into a speck of dust, it was also impossible to hide from them.


    Mo Lifei looked at this large hall with incredible shock as he said, "This �� Could this be a true god mystic treasure?"


    Ning Tianping nodded and said, "That''s right! This is a spatial flying-type true god mystic treasure. But His Excellency hasn''t completely refined it yet. Right now, he can''t unleash its full functions. Otherwise, those few at the outside are nothing to be feared at all."


    Mo Lifei was speechless. He discovered that he could not see through this Ye Yuan more and more.


    This guy''s trump cards were simply endless.


    Each time he thought that it reached the most dangerous time, Ye Yuan always had a backup move to settle everything.


    Mo Lifei suddenly said, "But, with the intensity of their attacks, can our divine essence stones hold out?"


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Master, you don''t have to worry. His Excellency recently earned 400 billion divine essence stones at Riverluck Capital City. Although he spent 200 billion, there are still 200 billion left. If they want to use up the divine essence stones, let them deplete it then.:


    An Origin Deity Realm having 400 billion divine essence stones on him, this �� was too demoralizing!


    ...


    After a bout of wild bombardment, the four people were tired until they were almost collapsing. But the Purple Extreme Hall still did not budge an inch.


    "Damn it! Just how many divine essence stones do they have? To actually be able to hold on until now!" Xiang Yunfei said in a deep voice.


    Huang Hai said, "I don''t know how many divine essence stones they have, but it''s a lot! This time, it was originally to help Eldest Young Master to purchase the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone, but it was intercepted by this kid. He spent 110 billion to buy this piece of Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone."


    The moment Sun Qing heard, he said gloomily, "Why didn''t you say so earlier?"


    Huang Hai said, "What can be done if said earlier? This spatial flying-type mystic treasure is clearly extraordinary. I reckon that it''s at the very least celestial deity mystic treasure too. We can''t breach the defenses at all! Now, there''s only exhausting their divine essence stones entirely, and then use a powerful attack to shock them to death!"


    Xiang Yunfei''s gaze stirred and he said with a nod, "What Old Huang said is right! The only plan now is to drag it out with him. This kid killed Young Patriarch, so we must capture him! Moreover, putting aside other things, this treasure is clearly extraordinary. As long as it can be brought back, it''s enough to compensate for this incident of Young Patriarch''s demise. No matter what, definitely can''t let him leave. We have to pester this flying mystic treasure endlessly and mustn''t let it break free of control!"


    The few people nodded one after another when they heard it. Once the Purple Extreme Hall broke free of their control, it would be able to shake them off instantly.


    The four people rested for a while, recovered divine essence, and bombarded the Purple Extreme Hall wildly again.


    However, the Purple Extreme Hall''s stability made them somewhat despaired.


    They unleashed all of their abilities, but they were still unable to deplete completely the Purple Extreme Hall''s divine essence stones.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan''s divine essence finally completely recovered.


    "Your Excellency, you finally recovered! These few fellows are pestering the Purple Extreme Hall endlessly, we can''t escape!" Ning Tianping said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If they want to pester, let them pester then. Do you wish to experience the feeling of being a tycoon for once?"


    Ning Tianping''s eyes swiveled and he said excitedly, "Of course I want!"


    Ye Yuan said, "If you want, cultivate well and quickly break through to become a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord!"


    Ning Tianping said with an excited look, "Alright!"


    After converting to the Starry Night Vast Cloud Art, Ning Tianping already touched the threshold of fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Breaking through realm was just a matter of sooner or later.


    The moment Ye Yuan said it, Ning Tianping immediately understood what Ye Yuan wanted to do.


    He was also rather curious just how many divine lord mystic treasures Ye Yuan had on hand.


    Detonating initial-rank divine lord mystic treasures previously, Ye Yuan''s divine essence could barely manage to accomplish it.


    But middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures were far more stable than initial-rank. Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping could not do it.


    But as long as Ning Tianping broke through to fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, everything would naturally happen naturally without extra effort.


    Hence, Ning Tianping started closed-seclusion to cultivate, assaulting fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Outside, those four people clearly decided to drag it out with Ye Yuan too, taking turns to bombard the Purple Extreme Hall.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence stones were also being consumed at a rapid rate. But 200 billion divine essence stones were sufficient for them to exhaust for very, very long.


    In a blink, more than half a year passed.


    On this day, Ning Tianping suddenly opened his eyes. The surrounding spiritual energy gathered over wildly.


    All around him were divine essence stones. They were sufficient for him to break through to become a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    "Hahaha, finally broke through!" Ning Tianping said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s right, even faster than I imagined!"


    Ning Tianping said with a loud laugh, "Your Excellency prepared so many resources for me. Coupled with the cultivation method that Master gave me, if I still don''t break through, I can go hit my head and die! Come, these bunch of guys chased us for over half a year already, let''s vent this frustration properly today."


    Ye Yuan casually threw him a few divine lord mystic treasures and said with a smile, "Go on, feel free to detonate them. I''ll ensure your safety!"


    Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "Alright!"


    ...


    Xiang Yunfei they all actually almost could not hold on anymore.


    But making them leave right now, they were unwilling to either.


    "Do these two punks really plan on being cowardly turtles for the rest of their lives?" Sun Qing gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    "Just how much divine essence stones do they have? When will this come to an end?!" Zheng Shan said with a dejected look.


    Xiang Yunfei''s gaze was grim as he said, "Truly damn it! With the intensity of our attacks, even hundreds of billions of divine essence stones should be depleted entirely!"


    Suddenly, Huang Hai''s gaze turned intent, like he discovered a new continent, shouting excitedly, "Out! They are out! Hahaha, they finally can''t hold on anymore!"


    The other three people focused their eyes and looked, and they were immediately greatly aroused!


    Sure enough, Ning Tianping came out.


    "Hahaha, kid, your divine essence stones are finally running out, right? This half a year''s time, the few of us brothers have been unbelievably stifled! Brothers, we must service this boy properly today!" Xiang Yunfei said with a hideous grin.

 1666 Blow You to Death!

    "Isn''t that so? If I don''t vent it a bit, your father will become a crazy person!" Sun Qing said.


    "Yoo, this kid actually broke through! A little interesting, abusing him like this will be more interesting," Zheng Shan said with a cold smile.


    A fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord and three fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords, such a line-up naturally would not be scared away by a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    But Huang Hai''s expression was slightly dark as he said, "Where''s Ye Yuan? That punk didn''t dare to come out and let you come and seek your doom?"


    "Heh, seek my doom? Right, sending you all to death! Dealing with the few of you, this young master alone is enough. How is there a need for His Excellency to take action?" Ning Tianping said with a cold smile.


    Ning Tianping''s words drew a burst of derisive laughter from the four.


    "Hahaha, what did I hear just now? Brother Xiang, he''s dealing with the four of us alone! I''m so scared!" Sun Qing said with a loud laugh.


    The other three people also had mocking looks. Clearly, they heard a very hilarious joke.


    A fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord kid, dealing with even one of them was enough for him to choke on. To actually brag about going one-versus-four, this was clearly a joke.


    Xiang Yunfei said with a smile, "Then let''s take a look at how much capability this kid has!"


    Xiang Yunfei signaled the other three with his eyes. The three people understood and immediately closed in, surrounding Ning Tianping in the middle.


    With this, he would be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings.


    Ning Tianping did not have the intention of escaping at all, allowing them to surround him.


    Xiang Yunfei laughed savagely. Suddenly, a palm struck Ning Tianping.


    At the same time, the other three people were also waiting in full battle-array, not giving Ning Tianping a chance to dodge.


    They were forcing Ning Tianping to clash head-on with Xiang Yunfei!


    Fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord and fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, this was very life-threatening.


    However, Ning Tianping laughed coldly and advanced instead of backing down!


    There was suddenly an additional bracelet in his hand. It was shockingly a middle-rank divine lord mystic treasure.


    Xiang Yunfei''s gaze turned intent and he said in pleasant surprise, "Middle-rank divine lord mystic treasure!"


    What Xiang Yunfei himself used was still an initial-rank divine lord mystic treasure. Seeing the middle-rank divine lord mystic treasure, he was naturally very moved.


    Ning Tianping had a mocking look as he said, "You like it? Then it''s all yours! Explode for me!"


    At this moment, Ning Tianping''s divine essence poured into that bracelet frenziedly. A horrifying aura instantly burst out!


    "You lunatic, you''ll die too!" Xiang Yunfei roared.


    However, it was already too late.


    Rumble!


    That bracelet was directly detonated by Ning Tianping. Half the sky was blown until it shook.


    That horrifying aura could virtually flatten a mountain.


    Xiang Yunfei was blown until he flew out backward, unable to maintain his figure in the air at all.


    The other three people were also caught off-guard by this sudden change, being affected to a varying degree.


    "This kid is simply a madman! He thinks that this way, it can blow this old man to death?" Xiang Yunfei vomited fresh blood wildly as he bellowed angrily.


    He did not expect that Ning Tianping was actually so determined, exchanging for his serious injury at the cost of his life.


    Detonating mystic treasure this kind of thing could be said to be the last resort.


    Want to affect the other party, one must approach with his own body.


    If you detonate at a place very far from him, by the time the explosive force affected the other party, he would had long vanished without a trace.


    That was suicide, not mutual destruction.


    Now that Ning Tianping detonated the mystic treasure, Xiang Yunfei naturally thought that he was already dead.


    But right at this time, a cold voice sounded out in his ears.


    "Can''t blow to death? Then one more time!"


    Ning Tianping''s voice seemed very excited. Clearly, he detonated to his heart''s content just now.


    No need for any flashy play, no need to practice whatever martial technique, just blow up, blow up, blow up!


    Tycoons were awesome!


    Rumble!


    Another divine lord mystic treasure exploded. Xiang Yunfei had yet to react in time and was blasted flying again.


    It was only to see his figure keep tumbling in the air, smashing onto the ground heavily, being knocked out cold.


    A powerful fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord was brought down by two claps of thunder just like that.


    The other three people''s scalps tingled, turning tail and running.


    However, they already suffered considerable injuries. How could they be as fast as Ning Tianping?


    "I detonate!"


    "I''ll blow you to death!"


    "Didn''t you guys chase to your heart''s content? Feels good now, right? Mn?"


    ...


    Horrifying energy undulations came from the sky from time to time, akin to peals of muffled thunder.


    Before long, Huang Hai three people were already blown into smithereens, not even leaving behind residue.


    "Hahaha! It''s really too awesome! Your Excellency, this feeling of being a tycoon is really refreshing! Don''t care what cultivation method you have, don''t care what martial technique you have, blast one by one just like that, everything is leveled to the ground!"


    Ning Tianping had lived for so long, it was his first time feeling what was called as a true tycoon.


    Even in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City in the past, he also could not possibly scatter money like it was dirt in this manner!


    Divine lord mystic treasures, even if you had hundreds of billions, you might not be able to buy so many too. How could he crush all the way like now?


    Of course, if there wasn''t Ye Yuan acting in concert by the side, helping him avoid the explosions with spatial laws, one divine lord mystic treasure could blast him to death already, how could it be so refreshing?


    Detonating five to six middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures in a row, it directly exterminated a group of middle-stage Divine Lord powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Without middle-stage Divine Lord cultivation, you can''t even detonate a middle-rank divine lord mystic treasure. Therefore, cultivation is still the most important!"


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Haha, what Your Excellency said is true, I was just making a joke. Seeing you use this kind of method to blow people up the last time, it felt incomparably refreshing. Now that I experienced it myself, it''s indeed freaking amazing! Hahaha!"


    What jumping realms to battle? In front of detonating divine lord mystic treasures, it was really weak to the max!


    To Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, divine lord mystic treasures were as precious as their lives.


    However, Ye Yuan actually casually used them to detonate. It was truly extravagant to the extreme.


    Swoosh!


    Ning Tianping was currently being pleased with himself when suddenly, a figure on the ground dashed into the distance with extreme speed.


    Ning Tianping''s expression changed and he said angrily, "That guy actually didn''t die yet! He was feigning death just now!"


    That figure was none other than precisely Xiang Yunfei.


    He suffered two waves of explosions in a row just now but did not know what to do.


    Now, seeing Ning Tianping relax, he immediately cast a secret art to escape.


    While talking, Ning Tianping was about to go and chase after, but Ye Yuan stopped him and said, "He used a secret art, so you can''t catch up. Leave him be."


    Ning Tianping was very remorseful and angry and said dejectedly, "It''s all my fault. I was too careless!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "He suffered heavy injuries and also cast a secret art. Even if he can recover, he''s unable to return to the peak anymore either, equivalent to being a cripple. Now that the trouble is resolved, let''s go!"


    Ning Tianping nodded his head and returned to the Purple Extreme Hall dejectedly.


    Purple Extreme Hall turned into a stream of flowing light and sped like the wind into the distance.


    Without several Divine Lord Realm powerhouses restraining, the Purple Extreme Hall''s speed was swift to the extreme, vanishing at the end of the sky in a blink.


    A baleful gaze looked in the direction the Purple Extreme Hall disappeared and said in a cold voice, "Looking at their direction, could it be that they are going to the Heavenspan Mountain? Really failed miserably at a simple task! I didn''t expect that this kid actually had such means! However, not avenging this enmity, I, Xiang Yunfei, is less than human!"

 1667 Leng Qiuling

    "This is the Heavenspan Mountain?"


    Ye Yuan looked at that enormous mountain that towered into the clouds in the distance, feeling like his entire divine soul left his body.


    Everyone said that seeing once was better than hearing it a hundred times. The name of the Heavenspan Mountain could be said to be resounding like the roar of thunder.


    Before this, Ye Yuan had imagined the appearance of the Heavenspan Mountain countless times before.


    But seeing it now, he was still shaken to the core.


    Everyone said that the Heavenspan Mountain contained all of the Heavenspan World''s Dao. It was indeed not false!


    That mountain was clearly in the distance, but Ye Yuan actually could not see it clearly. It was as if there was a cloud of mist obstructing the eyes, unfathomable.


    He suddenly felt like he was treading on air, the feeling of corroborating Great Dao, his entire person drifting over to the mountain.


    "Ye Yuan! Don''t look anymore!"


    Ye Yuan was currently spellbound when a thunderous voice suddenly sounded in his ear, startling him awake.


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, cold sweat instantly drenching his clothes.


    "W-What''s going on?" Ye Yuan said with lingering fear.


    "You save that kid first, his divine soul is almost separating from his body!" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan was startled inwardly. Turning his head to look, he discovered that Ning Tianping''s divine soul was already almost floating out of his body.


    "Tianping! Come back!"


    Ye Yuan shouted sharply, Ning Tianping''s divine soul suddenly returned to position.


    "Y-Your Excellency, what''s with me?" Ning Tianping said.


    Dustless said, "You guys are lacking in power and lost yourselves in front of Great Dao! Rashly viewing the mountain will cause the divine soul to leave the body, be swept into the vortex of Great Dao, and be ground to dust!"


    Ye Yuan was secretly shocked and relayed it to Ning Tianping. The two people felt lingering fear.


    Indeed well-deserving of being the Heavenspan Mountain, one glance and it could seize people''s souls.


    Mo Lifei also said, "Sigh, you brat, I haven''t had time to say and your divine soul already left your body!"


    He did not have Dustless''s divine soul shocking means. Repeatedly shouting and yelling earlier, Ning Tianping did not hear it at all.


    Ning Tianping sucked in a deep breath and said, "The Heavenspan Mountain indeed lives up to its reputation. Saying that it gave birth to the entire Heavenspan World is indeed not fake!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, as if a bolt of lightning flashed across in his mind. He seemed to have grasped something!


    However, it also seemed like he grasped nothing.


    This inspiration fleeted past in a flash, swift until he did not capture it at all.


    "Ye Yuan, what''s wrong with you?" Ning Tianping discovered Ye Yuan''s peculiarity and could not resist asking.


    "Little punk, shut up! He seemed to have comprehended something, so don''t disturb him," Mo Lifei said.


    Ning Tianping was uncertain what it meant, but also hurriedly shut his mouth.


    Ye Yuan frowned and pondered hard, but just could not grasp that fleeting flash of inspiration.


    Finally, Ye Yuan still let out a long sigh.


    "Kid, did you comprehend something?" Dustless said.


    Ye Yuan said with a bitter smile, "I seemed to have touched that layer of windowpane paper, just a little bit more. But I''m just unable to poke through."


    Dustless'' eyes lit up and he said, "No need to rush. Looks like this trip was really right! When you reach the Heavenspan Mountain, perhaps all of your doubts will be resolved completely."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, thoroughly convinced of this too.


    "Your Excellency, are you still alright?"


    Ning Tianping saw through Ye Yuan''s out-of-sorts. Clearly, his sudden epiphany failed.


    Ye Yuan already adjusted his state of mind, patted Ning Tianping''s shoulder, and said with a smile, "If I can break through to the Divine Lord Realm, you''ll be noted as having rendered the first meritorious service!"


    Ning Tianping''s gaze turned intent and he said in pleasant surprise, "Your Excellency, did you �� finally found the opportunity to break through just now?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with a smile, "Although it was just a brief instant, there are finally some ideas."


    Ning Tianping laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, when Your Excellency breaks through to the Divine Lord Realm, go back and let that bunch of fellows all shut up!"


    He knew how much Ye Yuan suffered in these few hundred years, and also admired the might of Ye Yuan''s mind at the same time.


    If it were an ordinary genius, they would probably have long abandoned themselves to despair.


    At this time, a group of Divine Lord Realm sped over from the distance.


    In the group, a youth in a white shirt said with a disdainful look, "Eh, Senior Apprentice Sister, there''s actually still an Origin Deity Realm who wants to go to the Heavenspan Mountain! Truly overestimating his own ability!"


    The person in the lead was a very beautiful girl.


    That girl''s white dress fluttered, her ethereal aura coiled around gracefully, akin to an otherworldly fairy maiden.


    It was just that the aura radiating off her body kept people a thousand miles away, very cold and detached.


    The woman gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with slightly furrowed brows, "The Heavenspan Mountain is a forbidden place for those under Divine Lord Realm, aren''t you aware? This kind of place isn''t for you."


    Ye Yuan sized the girl up, also slightly surprised in his heart.


    This girl''s age was similar to his and she was actually a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse already.


    This talent, placed in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would simply one-shot everyone!


    Even Ning Tianping, this self-boasted genius also had a feeling of being ashamed of his unworthiness when seeing this cold and beautiful woman.


    The disparity was too great!


    After experiencing the initial-most shock, Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Many thanks for the reminder, however �� this Ye naturally has a reason to insist on going."


    Although what this girl said was not pleasant to the ear, Ye Yuan could still make it out anyway.


    This girl was just reminding out of goodwill and did not have the intention of mocking.


    Rather, that young man had a look of disdain.


    But this group of people''s strength was indeed powerful.


    They were all young, but each person''s strength was even stronger than Ning Tianping.


    One had to know, Ning Tianping was already more than a thousand years old.


    In terms of talent, the gap between both parties was too great.


    "Heh, what reason is there to insist on going? Merely that you''re unable to break through and want to come to the Heavenspan Mountain to try your luck. Over 500 years of bone age and unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, your talent is too poor! There are no idea how many country bumpkins like you come here every year. They were all crushed into minced meat by the Heavenspan Mountain. If you''re willing to seek death yourself, we naturally can''t stop it either," said te white-shirt guy.


    The moment Ning Tianping heard, he flared up and said angrily, "What the hell do you know?! If not because of some reason, His Excellency would have broken through to the Divine Lord Realm as far back as 300 years ago!"


    It was still good if he did not explain, the moment he explained, the white-shirt man was even more contemptuous as he said, "Turns out that already stuck at grand completion Origin Deity Realm for 300 years! 300 years and can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm, still take yourself to be a genius? Heh heh, truly a frog at the bottom of a well! See our Senior Apprentice Sister Qiuling? She already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm at the age of 100. Presently, 400 years have gone by and she''s already ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord! Coming to the Heavenspan Mountain this time, she plans on breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm in one stroke. You know how great �� the disparity is already, right?"


    Ning Tianping could not help choking when he heard this. He actually could not find the words to refute the other party.


    This kind of genius was what he had to look up to all his life.


    In just 400 years, she cultivated from being a first-layered heaven Divine Lord to a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord. This kind of cultivation speed was simply horrifying.


    The white-clothed girl frowned and said, "Bai Qing!"


    The white-shirt man saw Leng Qiuling get angry and immediately shut up.


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, "That''s all I have to say, goodbye!"


    Finished talking, Leng Qiuling brought along the group of junior brothers and sisters, and they headed for the Heavenspan Mountain.


    "His Excellency, they are also too arrogant!" Ning Tianping said indignantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "They had good intentions too, so just let them be."

 1668 Getting Shot Even When Lying Down

    "Bai Qing, before coming out, Master repeatedly exhorted us to keep a lower profile! Geniuses are plentiful like clouds at the Heavenspan Mountain. There are also quite a number stronger than us. Take heed not to be arrogant and complacent. Have you forgotten all of it?"


    Leng Qiuling''s brows were slightly furrowed, clearly somewhat displeased with Bai Qing.


    When Bai Qing saw Leng Qiuling get angry, he said respectfully, "Bai Qing knows his mistake! But each time we come to the Heavenspan Mountain, there are always some hillbillies who overestimate their ability. It really puts me in a bad mood seeing them. You told him the pros and cons, right? He still didn''t appreciate it, truly courting death."


    Leng Qiuling said, "Everyone in the world has a heart that leans toward the Dao. Other people''s lives are other people''s. If he isn''t willing, forget it, no need to force it. He and we are not people in the same world to begin with."


    Bai Qing smiled and said, "Heh heh, Senior Apprentice Sister''s words are reasonable. That kid just now couldn''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm for 300 years. His potential has probably been exhausted already, so it will be like this for this lifetime. Yet, he still doesn''t give up and comes to the Heavenspan Mountain to seek death."


    Leng Qiuling did not speak. Clearly, she also agreed with Bai Qing''s words.


    "Alright, don''t delay anymore. We have to hurry to Southfoot Town before dark," Leng Qiuling said.


    ...


    In the evening, Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping walked into Southfoot Town.


    Southfoot Town was at the foot of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was God knows how many tens of thousands of miles tall and how many tens of thousands of miles in circumference.


    The Heavenspan Mountain could not be climbed as and when someone wanted to. Every other year, the Heavenspan Mountain would form passageways leading straight up the mountain.


    Martial artists must pass through these passageways before they could ascend the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Going up from other places would be directly blotted out by Heavenly Dao, no matter how powerful your strength was.


    Therefore, the foot of the Heavenspan Mountain formed one small town after another. Firstly, it was to provide a resting place for martial artists. Secondly, it was also in order to manage these martial artists and not let them cause trouble.


    This place was the closest place to heaven. Getting into a fight would ruffle Heavenly Dao, sending down heavenly punishment, sparing not even chickens or dogs.


    According to legend, there had once been a martial artist who got into a fight in order to vie for the qualification to scale the ladder to heaven.


    In the end, heavenly punishment descended, wiping out all of that batch of martial artists.


    This Southfoot Town only had Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    "Hahaha, Junior Sister Leng, we''re really connected by heart, to actually meet here."


    "Zhuo Han, who''s connected by heart with you? Stay further away from me!"


    "Junior Sister Leng, don''t keep people a thousand miles away like this! Don''t be like this, this place is Southfoot Town, you can''t attack others!"


    "Get lost!"


    ...


    The moment he entered, Ye Yuan heard a guy and a girl arguing.


    One of them was that Leng Qiuling.


    The other was a man called Zhuo Han. His strength was similar to Leng Qiuling. He had the appearance of a sticky candy, pestering Leng Qiuling endlessly and not letting go.


    Ye Yuan gave a glance and did not have the intention of going to provoke, walking straight towards a large hall in the center of the town.


    Leng Qiuling was currently irritated. Suddenly seeing Ye Yuan, she quickly walked over to stop Ye Yuan and said coldly, "You still came in the end!"


    Ye Yuan gave her a glance, nodded, and said with a smile, "I said it before, I have a reason to be bent on coming."


    Leng Qiuling let out a sigh and said, "You aren''t familiar with this place, right? Come, I''ll bring you to go and collect the number plate!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to reject but saw the pleading look that Leng Qiuling cast.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart. This was using him as cannon fodder.


    He also did not expect that this iceberg beauty would actually condescend to beg him.


    A beauty begging, it was naturally hard for Ye Yuan to refuse.


    Moreover, along the way previously, Ye Yuan could also feel this iceberg beauty''s good intentions.


    Therefore, he changed his mind and said with a smile, "Then I''ll have to trouble Fairy[1]."


    At this time, Zhuo Han came to the side, looked at Ye Yuan full of killing intent, and said coldly, "Another Origin Deity Realm who came to court death! Junior Sister Leng, are you deliberately finding this kind of trash to spite me? It''s useless!"


    While he said that it was useless verbally, Zhuo Han already put Ye Yuan in the list of must-kills.


    Leng Qiuling was just about to speak, but Ye Yuan said, "Liking Fairy Leng, one can''t use this kind of endlessly pestering method. Like this, you''ll only make her dislike you more and more!"


    Zhuo Han''s gaze turned cold and he said, "What this young master does isn''t your turn, an Origin Deity Realm trash''s turn, to come and teach!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing. He said to Leng Qiuling, "Fairy Leng, this kind of condescending fool, better stay further away from him, save that he defiles your eyes."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Leng Qiuling and was about to leave.


    Zhuo Han''s gaze turned cold, blocked right in front, and said coldly, "Kid, you try saying it one more time!"


    The powerful pressure of ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord instantly crushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    With a difference of a major realm, the pressure of ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord was sufficient to make Ye Yuan seriously injured and vomit blood.


    Leng Qiuling was caught by surprise too, not expecting that Zhuo Han would attack at the drop of a hat.


    But when she turned to look, she discovered that Ye Yuan was perfectly fine and said coolly, "Don''t make a spectacle of yourself anymore. Do you dare to attack here? Don''t think that ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord is very powerful. Because I discovered that saying that you''re a fool is somewhat praising you. Get lost!"


    Suddenly, two iron-armored people came out from no idea where, with the auras on their bodies very horrifying.


    One of them said coldly, "Troublemakers, kill without amnesty!"


    Those two people''s entire faces were covered in the suit of armor. But that deep and gloomy gaze made Zhuo Han feel akin to falling into an ice cellar, his body instantly drenched in sweat.


    The two people''s bodies emitted a horrifying aura, even Leng Qiuling''s complexion turned slightly pale too.


    Zhuo Han forced a smile and said, "I �� I just wanted to scare him, d-didn''t want to really attack."


    The armored person said coldly, "Warning once. If the offense is repeated, kill without amnesty!"


    Finished talking, the armored person''s gaze stopped on Ye Yuan for a moment, then turned around and left.


    Leng Qiuling similarly used an astonished gaze to look at Ye Yuan. She did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually completely unmoved under the pressure of a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    This was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that under those two armored people''s powerful auras, Ye Yuan could still maintain his composure!


    Those two armored people''s strengths were at least Celestial Deity Realm too. Ye Yuan was actually completely fine.


    Ye Yuan gave Zhuo Han a glance and said disdainfully, "Idiot! Fairy Leng, let''s go."


    Leng Qiuling nodded and left with Ye Yuan.


    Looking at the two people''s distant back views, Zhuo Han said in a cold voice, "Punk, when we leave Southfoot Town, I''ll definitely make you die very horribly!"


    ...


    "Just now, thank you very much!" Even Leng Qiuling''s thanks seemed a little cold.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fairy Leng is too courteous."


    Leng Qiuling said, "Seems like I dragged you into the water. With Zhuo Han''s personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance, he probably would not let you go so easily."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since I dared to promise Fairy Leng, I''m naturally not afraid of him.


    An Origin Deity Realm saying this kind of words sounded somewhat comical.


    She felt that Ye Yuan had a feeling of knowing what to do, but she did not know why.


    [1] Calling her a fairy maiden.

 1669 Old Drunkard

    "No matter what, consider it that I owe you a favor! Take this sword. In the future, if there''s any need, you can come to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital to find me."


    Leng Qiuling handed Ye Yuan a small and exquisite jade sword. It was very exquisite.


    This jade sword was crystal clear. Holding it in the hand felt penetratingly cold. Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of refusing either and said coolly, "Alright, then I''ll accept it. That sticky candy has already been shaken off. Fairy Leng, go back earlier and rest."


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of going to find Leng Qiuling. But in order to set Leng Qiuling''s mind at ease, he still accepted it.


    By the side, Ning Tianping was incomparably shocked. He did not expect that an iceberg beauty like this, a proud daughter of heaven, actually took the initiative to gift Ye Yuan something.


    What shocked him even more was that Ye Yuan actually wanted to chase away such a sophisticated great beauty!


    Leng Qiuling was clearly very surprised too. In these 500 years, it was still her first time encountering such a person.


    Even if others knew that there was no hope, they were eager to stay awhile more with her as well.


    But this guy in front of her actually wanted to chase her away!


    "Mn, thanks."


    With Leng Qiuling''s temperament, she naturally would not say that she wanted to stay, directly taking her leave.


    But in her heart, she kept feeling a little uncomfortable.


    Walking halfway, she suddenly turned around again and said to Ye Yuan, "Oh, right, I urge that you''d best not go to the Heavenspan Mountain. Since remote antiquity, there has never been an Origin Deity Realm martial artist who could come down alive!"


    Pausing for a bit, she added, "No matter how prodigious, it won''t work!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks for Fairy''s reminder. This Ye Yuan will be careful."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s attitude, Leng Qiuling knew that he did not take it in at all and could not help being somewhat annoyed and irritated, turning around and leaving.


    Sending Leng Qiuling away with his eyes, Ning Tianping said with a look of lament, "Tsk tsk, my lord is my lord. Seeing such a beauty and you''re not moved no matter what."


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, "My own relationships are a mess. So how can I be in the mood to be moved by other women?"


    The moment Ning Tianping heard this, his gossipy heart immediately poured out like a flood, asking fervently, "Oh? Your Excellency actually has a lover, and there''s more than one! I''ve never heard you mention it before!"


    Ye Yuan said huffily, "Don''t inquire about what you shouldn''t ask!"


    The two people saw Leng Qiuling off with their eyes and arrived at a large hall in the middle of the town.


    "Heh, another Origin Deity Realm who came to seek death! Kid, give you an advice, the Heavenspan Mountain isn''t some fun place. Go back to where you came from!" That person said without even turning his head around.


    This drunkard was in a state of drunkenness, but Ye Yuan could not fathom his limits.


    "Many thanks for Senior''s advice. However, the Heavenspan Mountain, this junior must go!" Ye Yuan said firmly.


    The drunkard said with a snicker, "Heh heh, reckless and foolish punk! But �� you''re late! The number of plates this year had already been fully issued before you came. If you want to enter the Heavenspan Mountain, wait another year."


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This was too unlucky, right?


    He just missed the last train?


    Ye Yuan did not give up and said with clasped hands, "Senior, can you make a little exception?"


    His voice had yet to fade when two figures dashed out from no idea where, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    The piercing cold killing intent made Ye Yuan''s brows furrow slightly.


    "Hahaha, kid, what do you take my place to be? Go, go, go, still not going, I won''t be courteous." The drunkard waved his hand as he drank.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and was just about to leave when suddenly, his expression changed.


    "Heh heh, not meeting for several million years, you, this old drunkard, are putting on such a pompous front!"


    Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that Dustless actually revealed his figure.


    That drunkard''s expression changed. He put down the alcohol flask, staring fixedly at Dustless.


    The drunkard said in a solemn voice, "You all leave. Without my instructions, you''re not allowed to come in!"


    "Yes!" The two armored people answered him and directly vanished on the spot.


    Ye Yuan also said, "Tianping, you go out first and take a walk."


    Ning Tianping was shocked inwardly, but he still answered and left the hall.


    Clearing the venue, the drunkard suddenly stood up. Looking at Dustless with a look of disbelief, he said, "You �� You''re really Lord Dustless!"


    Dustless smiled and said, "Who can it be if not me?"


    "Hahaha ��" The drunkard suddenly lifted his head to the sky and laughed hard. Tears running down his old face, he said, "Heaven has eyes, Lord Dustless, you''re actually still alive!"


    The old drunkard cried and laughed, appearing very crazy.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being shocked in his heart.


    He did not expect that this old drunkard was actually Dustless''s old acquaintance.


    Dustless looked at the old drunkard and also had a melancholic expression. Clearly, many memories were brought back.


    After a bout of madness, the old drunkard hurriedly said, "Lord Dustless, please sit!"


    Dustless was merely an illusionary figure, but the old drunkard was very respectful toward him.


    Dustless was not polite either, sitting onto the bed.


    Dustless looked at the old drunkard and he said with a smile, "Looks like these few years, you''ve been doing pretty well!"


    The old drunkard smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Dustless, you''re mistaken. I hate that I failed to live up to expectations, that''s why I drown my sorrow in alcohol daily! These several million years, I''ve always cultivated bitterly, wanting to take revenge for Lord Immortal Grove. But �� I can''t even break through to the Empyrean Realm! These few years, I also took the time to go and find Lord Immortal Grove''s small world before. But he hid it too well, I couldn''t find it at all!"


    Dustless sighed and said, "You had the heart! But you don''t need to go and find anymore, because �� Immortal Grove already has a successor."


    The old drunkard''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    For so many years, the old drunkard held down the fort at Southfoot Town. The geniuses he had seen before were too many to enumerate.


    Ye Yuan was far too lacking compared to them.


    The old drunkard said with a doubtful look, "It''s him? Lord Dustless, with all due respect, this kid looks very ordinary! He''s unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, and that''s why he came to the Heavenspan Mountain, right? Can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm, how can he avenge Lord Immortal Grove?"


    Dustless smiled and said, "The World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl both acknowledged him as their master, so it won''t be wrong! As for being unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, it''s not convenient for me to expound on the reason. But it''s absolutely not a problem of talent. You just have to know that his future accomplishments are far above Immortal Grove''s!"


    The old drunkard was extremely surprised when he heard that. Ye Yuan looked plain and ordinary, without any special aspect.


    However, Dustless''s appraisal of him was actually so high.


    Lord Immortal Grove''s talent, the old drunkard was all too clear. A little fellow who could not even break through to the Divine Lord Realm could compare to him?


    The old drunkard nodded and said, "Since he''s the person that Lord Dustless picked, I, an old drunkard, naturally have nothing to say. But Lord Dustless, you''re also aware, Origin Deity Realms going to the Heavenspan Mountain, there''s no return. This is no joke!"


    Dustless smiled and said, "You old drunkard, how can this old man let him go and court death? You rest assured, he''ll be fine!"


    The old drunkard sized Ye Yuan up with a curious look, wanting to see what was different from him.


    But looking here and there, he could not perceive anything no matter what.

 1670 Cutting in Line

    Dustless was naturally not worried about Ye Yuan. He refined a small portion of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. As long as he did not seek death, the Heavenspan Mountain''s Heavenly Dao would not crush him.


    Even without the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan''s strength was already comparable to a first-layered heaven Divine Lord. It was sufficient to resist the pressure of the Heavenspan Mountain already.


    It was just that this strength, if Ye Yuan did not act, outsiders naturally could not tell.


    Coming out from the old drunkard''s place, Ye Yuan had a confused look. So Dustless briefly recounted the matters of the old drunkard.


    It turned out that the old drunkard was a servant that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove took in during his early years.


    Immortal Grove saved his life back then. He followed Immortal Grove and was loyal and devoted to Immortal Grove.


    But later, because of various reasons, the old drunkard left Immortal Grove and became the manager of Southfoot Town.


    Dustless making Ye Yuan come to Southfoot Town was naturally because of this consideration.


    Back then, when the old drunkard heard that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove perished, he had once cried for three days and nights.


    He resolved to take revenge for Immortal Grove, but his strength was too weak. That was why he drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day.


    Immortal Grove''s enemy was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. How difficult was it to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm?


    Several days later, it just happened to be the one year date.


    On the Heavenspan Mountain, a beam of light slowly extended out and landed on the ground outside the small town.


    All of the martial artists going to the Heavenspan Mountain gathered in the wilderness.


    They all held a wooden plaque in their hands. This was the sequence number plates issued by the old drunkard.


    People without a wooden plaque were not permitted to go up the Heavenspan Mountain.


    This was not the Heavenspan Mountain''s rules. It was just a rule of Southfoot Town.


    Zhuo Han swept a glance and suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan did not have a wooden plaque in his hands. He instantly understood something.


    "Haha, kid, you don''t even have a wooden plaque, so what did you run here for? I almost forgot. We took the last few pieces of wooden plaques that day. You guys came after us. So �� you still got to wait a year! Hahaha!" Zhuo Han said with a loud laugh.


    He burned with rage that day and did not notice this matter.


    Recalling it now, they just happened to have received the last few pieces of wooden plaques. That Ye Yuan naturally did not have a wooden plaque on hand.


    Leng Qiuling they all were slightly earlier, Zhuo Han they all followed closely behind.


    Then later, it was Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping.


    "I got it. You came to see Junior Sister Leng! Huhu, do you think that this young master couldn''t tell that she used you as a shield? You wouldn''t think that she''s really interested in you, right? Stop trying to strike out of your league. You and she are not in the same world at all. An ant like you will never understand the disparity between you guys, give up!" Zhuo Han shot Ye Yuan down without any consideration.


    "No way, right? An Origin Deity Realm actually wanted to punch above his weight and pursue Leng Qiuling?"


    "Really overestimating his own ability! Doesn''t take a piss to look at his own reflection at either!"


    "Heh heh, another Origin Deity Realm who came to court death. Going to the Heavenspan Mountain, he won''t even have his life anymore, yet still want to pursue Beauty Leng!"


    ...


    Clearly, Leng Qiuling was very famous. The Divine Lord Realm martial artists present, there were quite a number of people who knew her.


    Hearing Zhuo Han said so, they immediately mocked Ye Yuan heavily.


    People had this kind of psychology, what they could not obtain, they were even more reluctant to see others obtain.


    Although there was nothing between Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling, Zhuo Han''s words made him become the target of public scorn.


    Leng Qiuling clearly heard Zhuo Han''s words too and immediately flared up and said angrily, "Zhuo Han, say any more nonsense, do you believe that I''ll tear your mouth?"


    But Zhuo Han smiled and said, "Junior Sister Leng, could it be that I said wrongly? You wouldn''t really have fallen for this kid, right?"


    Leng Qiuling''s expression turned cold and she said, "That''s none of your business!"


    Ye Yuan secretly heaved a sigh. Leng Qiuling saying this kind of words, wasn''t it making things more vague?


    Sure enough, quite a few people used even weirder expressions to look at Ye Yuan. Some gazes were rather unfriendly.


    If looks could kill, he would already have been killed countless times.


    "Idiot, stop simply guessing. I came to go up the Heavenspan Mountain," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhuo Han''s expression turned cold and he said in a great rage, "Punk, you''re very gutsy! If you have the capability, hide in Southfoot Town for the rest of your life and don''t ever go out! I want to see how you go up the Heavenspan Mountain without a wooden plaque. Do you think that Southfoot Town''s guards are all useless?"


    At this time, the old drunkard brought two armored people and walked over here while drinking alcohol.


    The old drunkard said, hazy-eyed from drinking, "Those with wooden plaques in their hands, line up in order for me!"


    Those watching a show did not dare to dawdle at this time, immediately lining up properly according to the number plates.


    While Zhuo Han looked at Ye Yuan with a smug look, prepared to see him get shot down.


    Everyone knew that this old drunkard''s strength was unfathomable.


    Once he was unhappy, the consequences were rather terrifying.


    Indeed, the old drunkard headed over to Ye Yuan''s side staggeringly.


    Zhuo Han sneered in his heart and said, "Fool who doesn''t know life from death, see how you still be arrogant! Best that you provoke the guardian to flare up and kill you, an abominable brat!"


    The old drunkard gave Ye Yuan a drunken and bleary-eyed glance, smiled, and suddenly said to the two people beside him, "The two of you, give the two of them the wooden plaques."


    Those two people were stunned, wondering if they heard wrongly.


    Zhuo Han''s expression changed too, uncertain of what was going on.


    "Y-Your Excellency, what �� what did you say?"


    The old drunkard''s expression turned cold. Those two people seemed to have had their throats stuck, expressions becoming very ugly.


    The old drunkard said in a cold voice, "I said, give the two of them your wooden plaque! Don''t you understand?"


    This time, they heard it clearly.


    These two people were Zhuo Han''s junior apprentice brothers. They used pleading eyes to look over at Zhuo Han.


    Zhuo Han had a stunned look too, completely not understanding what happened.


    He stepped forward and said to the old drunkard carefully with clasped hands: "Your Excellency, clearly we came first. So why should we give up the wooden plaques?"


    The old drunkard said indifferently, "Your father asked you to give, so give. What''s with all the nonsense?"


    By the side, the others were astounded faces too, completely not understanding why such a thing would happen.


    "What''s going on? I came to Southfoot Town several times already and have never encountered such a thing before."


    "Yeah, it has always been first come, first served. Why can those two punks cut in line?"


    "Could it be that they are that lord''s disciple? Doesn''t look like it either!"


    ...


    Leng Qiuling''s beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yuan in extreme shock.


    She discovered more and more that she could not see through this boy who was as old as her.


    Talent was clearly very poor, yet revealed all kinds of bizarreness surrounding him.


    Zhuo Han was thunderstruck by the old drunkard''s words until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    It was still his first time encountering such a thing and he was completely baffled.


    If it were others, he would just swallow it. Yet, this person was Ye Yuan!


    Hence, he toughened his scalp and said, "Your Excellency, I �� I''m unconvinced! B-Based on what?"


    The old drunkard said coolly, "Based on what? Based on that this Southfoot Town is managed by this father of yours! The words that your father said are the imperial decree!"

 1671 No Such Thing!

    "Your Excellency, I came from Heavenly Water Imperial Capital, my grandfather is ��"


    Zhuo Han was just about to report his background when the old drunkard''s aura suddenly released. Zhuo Han''s complexion turned white all at once, kneeling on the ground with a thud.


    The old drunkard said in a cold voice, "You dare to threaten me? Forget about Zhuo Shilong, even if Ji Xun came, he''d have to tuck his tail between his legs and behave here too!"


    The old drunkard''s aura was too horrifying. Those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses all turned white as a sheet.


    They could not withstand the old drunkard''s powerful pressure at all.


    "Humph! Put away your pride, your pride is utterly worthless in front of this old man! Although one can''t make a move under the Heavenspan Mountain, dealing with little babies like you guys, just one look is enough!"


    How did the old drunkard still have any drunkenness at this time? He had the solemn air of an expert.


    Even Ye Yuan felt an enormous pressure.


    Indeed, him killing Zhuo Han was as simple as pinching an ant to death. He did not need to make a move at all.


    "Y-Your Excellency, we �� we''ll give them!"


    Saying these few words, Zhuo Han seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body.


    The old drunkard withdrew his aura and said with a cold snort, "Little baby who doesn''t know any better! Didn''t Zhuo Shilong teach you how to behave before you go out?"


    The pressure on everyone suddenly lightened, all looking at the old drunkard in horror.


    Only then did they know how powerful this guy who guarded Southfoot Town was!


    Zhuo Han gnashed his teeth in hatred inwardly but did not dare to show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.


    He could sense that this old drunkard would really kill people.


    Furthermore, the other party did not attach any importance to his grandfather, Zhuo Shilong, at all!


    Also, who was Ji Xun?


    That was Heavenly Water Imperial Capital''s city lord!


    Regarding the background of these towns at the foot of the Heavenspan Mountain, there were different versions.


    Some say that they were controlled by some transcendent heavenly emperors. Some also said that they were controlled by Dao Ancestors!


    But without a doubt, behind them were existences that could not be provoked!


    Those two Heavenly Water Imperial Capital''s disciples handed the wooden plaques to Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping extremely unwillingly.


    Ning Tianping received the wooden plaque, waved it in front of Zhuo Han, and said with a smile, "You look, we have wooden plaques now."


    Zhuo Han was infuriated!


    Be smug! You guys just be smug! See whether or not you''ll get crushed to death by Heavenly Dao after you go up the Heavenspan Mountain!


    The old drunkard gave Zhuo Han a glance and said coolly, "To dare provoke the prestige of the guardian, these two people are not allowed to climb the Heavenspan Mountain within three years!"


    Zhuo Han''s expression changed, opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But at the thought of the old drunkard''s horrifying strength, he forcefully swallowed the words back into his stomach.


    The more he said, the more this old drunkard would definitely jest.


    Zhuo Han was not stupid, he naturally knew propriety.


    It was just that he did not understand why such a powerhouse would take care of an Origin Deity Realm like so.


    Those two people had aggrieved looks, about to cry.


    Two mighty gods fighting, the two of them little goblins suffered.


    Yet, they did not even have a place to reason it out.


    The old drunkard said coolly, "In this place, this old man is the law! Whatever I have you do, you just care about doing it obediently! Now, start climbing the mountain!"


    Those two armored people stood at the forefront of the ranks and started letting people up the mountain.


    Each person had to show their wooden plaques before they could pass through.


    Ye Yuan said to the old drunkard with clasped hands, "Many thanks, Senior!"


    The old drunkard took a swig of alcohol and waved his hand, indicating for them to go up.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s figure disappear into the passageway, a hint of worry flashed across the old drunkard''s eyes too.


    Even though Dustless pledged in all seriousness that Ye Yuan would be fine, this was the Heavenspan Mountain after all, the world''s most powerful existence and also the most terrifying existence.


    Ye Yuan was Lord Immortal Grove''s successor after all. If he died just like this, then hope would really be completely extinguished.


    ...


    As soon as they entered the passageway, everyone seemed to have been stripped away of something, and could no longer fly.


    A group of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses seemed to have returned to when they were mortals.


    The entire Heavenspan Mountain was like an enormous prison.


    While they were like birds in a cage.


    Zhuo Han used a hateful gaze to look at Ye Yuan and said coldly, "Punk, don''t be smug too early! Entering this passageway, there''s no turning back. You''ll be crushed into minced meat by Heavenly Dao''s pressure!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, "Idiot, you''d best take care of yourself first. Your jumping up and down appearance is really like a clown. Don''t use this kind of eyes to look at me, if you''re unconvinced, come and hit me!"


    "You! I''ll tell you, the guardian can''t leave Southfoot Town. If you have the capabilities, don''t ever leave here!" Zhuo Han said angrily through gnashed teeth.


    How could he dare to attack?


    They had already entered the passageway now. Once he attacked and provoked heaven''s punishment, he would die until not even dregs remain.


    In this place, there was no need for the guardian to come forward to suppress at all. These people, none of them dared to attack.


    Very soon, everyone approached the passageway''s entrance. The pressure on everyone also suddenly increased.


    The aura of Heavenly Dao became stronger and stronger.


    That horrifying aura made people feel like they were restrained in a river of Heavenly Dao, unable to extricate themselves.


    But the more it was like so, the more everyone was able to draw close to Heavenly Dao, feel Heavenly Dao''s aura, and also break through easier.


    Of course, the Heavenspan Mountain was not almighty.


    Some people could consecutively breakthrough realms here, while others could not break through at all.


    This had to depend on the individual''s talent.


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping walked at the back. Feeling the increasingly powerful Heavenly Dao aura, even Ning Tianping started to get worried too.


    He was a little worried whether or not Ye Yuan could withstand this kind of Heavenly Dao pressure.


    Everyone got out of the passageway one after another, but no one left.


    They all wanted to see how Ye Yuan, this Origin Deity Realm martial artist, would be crushed into meat paste by Heavenly Dao.


    Leng Qiuling''s hand clenched into a fist, showing the anxiety in her heart.


    No idea why, she was very worried about Ye Yuan, worried about seeing that bloody scene appearing.


    Zhuo Han and his junior apprentice brothers naturally wanted to see Ye Yuan get crushed into meat paste the most.


    Zhuo Han had an excited expression as he kept saying while looking at Ye Yuan, "Die! Die! Die!"


    His junior apprentice brothers also looked at Ye Yuan hatefully with excited faces.


    "Reckless and blind thing, see if you don''t die!"


    "Seeking death! Own-self wants to court death, nobody can stop!"


    "Best if he dies until not even dregs remain!"


    ...


    Amidst everyone''s curses, Ye Yuan''s foot finally stepped into the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled. The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain within his body emitted a series of roaring sounds.


    A burst of inspiration rushed to his head, making Ye Yuan have a feeling of sudden epiphany!


    That shackle which stopped him for 300 years was finally unlocked by him at this moment!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan practically wanted to sing at the top of his voice.


    This invigorating feel simply could not be described using words.


    The changes within Ye Yuan''s body, outsiders naturally could not feel it.


    Zhuo Han only saw Ye Yuan''s entire body shudder as if he could not bear Heavenly Dao''s pressure.


    He and his junior apprentice brothers had looks of anticipation, waiting for Ye Yuan to be crushed.


    However, Ye Yuan still stood there.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and said with a faint smile, "What are you guys looking at? Watching me get crushed into minced meat by Heavenly Dao? No such thing!"

 1672 Perfecting Cultivation Method!

    Zhuo Han, Leng Qiuling, as well as all of the Divine Lord Realm powerhouses all doubted whether they saw it wrongly or not.


    Ye Yuan was very relaxed at this time. How was there no hint of pressure on him at all?


    Rather, it was they themselves who felt the heavy pressure.


    "W-W-Why �� are you totally fine? You were clearly �� clearly ��" Zhuo Han had an expression like he saw a ghost, looking at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at him as if looking at an idiot. He said with a smile, "Clearly what? Faked for you to see, you took it for real? Said that you''re an idiot, it''s really not false at all!"


    Zhuo Han gnashed his teeth in hatred and said furiously, "Impossible! The Heavenspan Mountain is the forbidden land for Origin Deity Realms! Nobody has ever survived here! There''s no way that you''re completely fine!"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. Footsteps moving lightly, he walked up the mountain.


    He was calm on the surface, but actually, titanic storms already raged within his body.


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain seemed to have produced some kind of resonance with the Heavenspan Mountain and started quaking wildly within his body.


    At the same time, the preliminary form of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s fourth level cultivation method also slowly took shape in Ye Yuan''s mind.


    The fourth level cultivation method was totally different from the first three levels.


    In terms of complexity, the first three levels added together also could not match half of the fourth level cultivation method.


    This was the reason why Ye Yuan kept failing to create the fourth level cultivation method, but it was not the primary reason.


    Looks like this trip to the Heavenspan Mountain was really right! If I didn''t come here, I probably can''t create the fourth level cultivation method for the rest of my life! This place is the summit of the world! Ye Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.


    Ning Tianping''s words before, ''the Heavenspan Mountain gave birth to the entire Heavenspan World,'' made Ye Yuan have a flash of inspiration, seemingly grasping something.


    Only all the way until now, when he truly set foot on the Heavenspan Mountain did he understand what that sentence meant.


    Only now did Ye Yuan know that he had been going in the wrong direction all along!


    He attempted to go and open up a small world according to everyone''s cultivation train of thought.


    But the Chaos Heavenspan Canon which he cultivated did not reach the point of opening up a small world at all!


    His divine sea still had a possibility of improving further!


    Therefore, to Ye Yuan, the fourth major realm �� was not Divine Lord Realm!


    If other martial artists knew Ye Yuan''s cultivation method, they would definitely be unbelievably shocked, even scoffing in contempt, treating Ye Yuan as a different kind.


    But the reality was that it was subverted by Ye Yuan!


    Other people''s divine seas were already fixed when they reached Origin Deity Realm due to the limitations of cultivation method, unable to break through anymore.


    Reaching the limits, one must open up a small world before they could take a step further, becoming a higher existence.


    However, Ye Yuan''s path was not like this!


    His Chaos Heavenspan Canon was much stronger than martial artists of the same rank, resulting in him having the strength to battle with first-layered heaven Divine Lord, even second-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses when he was at Origin Deity Realm.


    Others were not able to do this at all.


    What Ye Yuan had to do was to continue devouring spiritual energy crazily, growing his divine sea.


    All the way until his divine sea was fixed, unable to break through anymore, and at that time, open up a small world in one stroke.


    That way, his strength would be countless times stronger than others!


    The later he opened, the more powerful his strength would be!


    Because at that time, the small world that he opened up, others were not able to imagine it at all.


    At that time, how powerful this small world would be, Ye Yuan could not say for sure right now. But he had a feeling that it might �� be able to reach the boundary of Dao Ancestor!


    This was the path that he had to take!


    "Tianping, you comprehend by yourself. Don''t need to care about me anymore." Ye Yuan''s calm voice drifted over.


    Ning Tianping had an excited look. He knew that Ye Yuan definitely found the turning point to break through to the Divine Lord Realm.


    Over 300 years of unrelenting hard work, finally it was all for this day.


    Even he felt that it was very not easy.


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan''s back view in disbelief, feeling extremely incredulous.


    It was still her first time hearing that an Origin Deity Realm could survive within the Heavenspan Mountain.


    If it was merely surviving, she would not be to the extent of being so shocked.


    The crux was that Ye Yuan was too calm as if this place was his home!


    "Just who is this guy? How could he accomplish this" Leng Qiuling said with her heart filled with shock.


    Immediately, she shook her head hard and said to Bai Qing and the rest, "Let''s go, it''s not easy to take a trip to the Heavenspan Mountain. Let''s not waste any longer and hurry up and go comprehend Heavenly Dao!"


    Coming to the Heavenspan Mountain once was very not easy. They could not stay on indefinitely. Once the time limit was up, they would be kicked out of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Hence, every minute and every second at the Heavenspan Mountain was very precious. They could not continue to be shocked anymore.


    Zhuo Han gritted his teeth, used a very baleful gaze to look at Ye Yuan, and said coldly, "Let''s go! I must break through to the Celestial Deity Realm this time. I''m going to let this punk die without a burial ground!"


    Divine Lord Realm martial artists could climb as high as ten miles.


    Past this height, it was out of the bearing range of Divine Lord Realm martial artists.


    Even taking a step out would be crushed into dust by Heavenly Dao.


    Existences such as Zhuo Han and Leng Qiuling, the height that they could scale already infinitely approached ten miles.


    Once they broke through the shackles, they would be able to scale new heights, becoming a Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    But even in the Heavenspan Mountain, this was also not an easy matter.


    How much Heavenly Dao one could comprehend, that depended on the individual''s talent.


    But being so close to Heavenly Dao like this, for the likes of Leng Qiuling to break through, it was just a matter of time.


    To geniuses of their level, Celestial Deity Realm had never been a fatal bottleneck.


    Ye Yuan''s climb was very slow, it could be said to be a step at a time.


    In other people''s view, his footsteps seemed to be rather strained.


    Actually, he was carefully sensing Heavenspan Mountain, feeling the resonance between the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and the real Heavenspan Mountain.


    Coming to the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan''s Chaos Heavenspan Canon was already suddenly enlightened.


    At this time, he was structuring the entire fourth level cultivation method bit by bit.


    Just like building a house, first put up the framework. Then add the bricks and tiles little by little, and finally form a sturdy and reliable house.


    Inside Ye Yuan''s sea of consciousness, Dustless was also shocked to the core!


    "I really don''t know just how this fourth level cultivation method would look like after it''s completed. But looking at it now, it seems to be different from normal cultivation methods! This kid, I really can''t see through more and more."


    ...


    Zhuo Han''s movements were very rapid, catching up to Leng Qiuling in a few steps.


    "Junior Sister Leng, don''t you understand my feelings for you yet?" Zhuo Han said unresignedly.


    Originally, he held Ye Yuan in utter contempt. He felt that Leng Qiuling was spiting him.


    But now, he finally felt threatened.


    This Ye Yuan was far from as simple as he showed.


    Leng Qiuling gave him a glance very indifferently and said, "Zhuo Han, give up on it! You and I, it''s impossible! Right now, we''re at the Heavenspan Mountain, I hope that you don''t disturb my cultivation!"


    Zhuo Han''s expression changed slightly and he said in a cold voice, "That punk is still climbing the mountain. I don''t believe that he won''t get crushed to death by the Heavenly Dao!"

 1673 Heavenly Dao Tempering the Body!

    After experiencing the initial-most shock, these Divine Lord Realm powerhouses all found their places and started comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    Ye Yuan paused briefly every three steps. He had a prolonged pause every five steps, his mind revolving rapidly.


    He must walk this path entirely before he could corroborate a complete cultivation method!


    Just like that, one day passed after another. No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan finally walked to the summit of ten miles.


    All around, every section of distance, there were many martial artists concentrating deeply on Martial Dao.


    No one knew that Ye Yuan already walked to the peak of the Divine Lord Realm.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s heart stirred, conceiving the idea of going to the next level to take a look.


    Ahead was a stretch of fog. Even if Ye Yuan stood in front of it, he could not see through what was after ten miles too.


    Not hesitating at once either, Ye Yuan directly took a step out, walking into the fog.


    Buzz!


    Powerful Heavenly Dao pressure instantly descended on Ye Yuan''s body.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan finally felt the terror of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    That powerful Heavenly Dao pressure was as if it was going to destroy the world, crushing his entire person.


    Such a large commotion immediately startled the powerhouses at the summit of ten miles.


    When Leng Qiuling saw Ye Yuan had half his body stepped into the fog, her entire body involuntarily shuddered, her eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    After the shock, Leng Qiuling immediately felt something amiss and exclaimed, "He �� He actually walked to the summit of ten miles! No, wait, what''s he trying to do?"


    Zhuo Han saw it too. His immediate reaction was the same as Leng Qiuling.


    "This kid �� an Origin Deity Realm, actually walked to the summit of ten miles! This �� How is this possible? Why �� Why didn''t Heavenly Dao pulverize him?" Zhuo Han said with an unresigned look.


    But very soon, he discovered something amiss very quickly. Immediately, his face revealed a look of wild elation.


    "Hahaha �� kid, this is called Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! An Origin Deity Realm actually dares to enter the fog realm, you''re courting death!"


    Zhuo Han let out a huge laugh as if already seeing the sight of Ye Yuan being crushed into a meat pancake.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan who already had half his body buried in the fog realm suddenly stretched his head back again. He said to Zhuo Han with a faint smile, "Idiot, you''re really noisy! Don''t leave if you have the guts. Wait for this young master to come back and teach you how to behave properly!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, "Gutsy, then you wait!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around, took another step out, his entire person stepping into the fog.


    When Leng Qiuling saw the situation, she could not help turning pale with fright and cried out, "Ye Yuan, don''t!"


    Hearing Leng Qiuling''s cry, Zhuo Han''s expression became incomparably ugly.


    This concern was entirely emitted beyond her control!


    Why was this iceberg-like woman brutally harsh to him, but she cared so much about that boy?


    Zhuo Han smiled coldly and said, "Don''t yell anymore! Those who enter the fog realm will definitely die. Even if you broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm, you also can''t pass through from the fog realm! This point, you should know better than me! He is dead for sure[1]!"


    Leng Qiuling did not go and look at Zhuo Han at all. She was repulsed by this person to the extreme.


    But she knew that what Zhuo Han had said was correct. Even a genuine Celestial Deity powerhouse also did not dare to pass through via the fog realm and enter the next realm''s territory.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    If it was to say that Ye Yuan still did not die by entering the Heavenspan Mountain with Origin Deity Realm, this was a miracle.


    Then now, it was absolutely impossible for a miracle to appear!


    Breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm at the summit of ten miles, one would be transported out of the Heavenspan Mountain very soon.


    Only next time could they enter the layer above ten miles by passing through the Celestial Deity Realm''s passageway.


    However, Ye Yuan passed through just like that!


    No one knew what was there in the fog realm. But it was safe to say that no one had ever returned alive before, including some Celestial Deity powerhouses who were very curious and attempted it.


    ...


    As Zhuo Han and the rest expected, after entering the fog realm, Ye Yuan could be said to struggle to stride forward.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    In the fog, some tiny electric snakes were flying all around.


    That horrifying energy undulation, even when Ye Yuan saw it, his heart palpitated too.


    However, these electric snakes wandered around, but not one landed on Ye Yuan''s body.


    At this time, currently the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain quietly suspended between Ye Yuan''s eyebrows, emitting the power of Heavenly Dao.


    It was also precisely the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain that supported him to enter the fog realm.


    "You, kid, are really crazy enough!" Dustless said with a sigh.


    He naturally knew the prowess of this fog realm . Yet, Ye Yuan walked inside.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and Heavenspan Mountain originated from the same source. Since the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain acknowledged me as its master, then the Heavenspan Mountain''s Heavenly Dao would similarly acknowledge my existence. Entering this place may seem dangerous, but actually, it''s more scary than actual danger."


    Dustless smiled bitterly and said, "You, kid, are bold but cautious. You really dare to do anything! But this time, you gambled correctly!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "These electric snakes are the true Heavenly Dao existences! They should be the existences who truly control this ten-mile Heavenspan Mountain''s rules, right? I say �� if I were to use them to temper my fleshy body, would the effects be very good?"


    Dustless''s little heart that had just calmed down was immediately thoroughly frightened out by Ye Yuan''s crazy idea.


    "You �� You''re really a madman! These are all the lightning of heavenly punishment!" Dustless said mortifiedly.


    He suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and tunneled into the Soul Suppressing Pearl and did not come out again.


    He knew that the following events would be rather terrifying.


    But he also knew that he could not stop Ye Yuan at all.


    This guy was simply a lunatic at times!


    The corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth curled, communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain at the same time.


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain disappeared and reappeared again at Ye Yuan''s glabella, emitting a multicolored light.


    Then, Ye Yuan suddenly extended his palm and directly grabbed toward one of the electric snakes.


    Buzz ��


    Virtually instantly, Ye Yuan''s entire body started twitching violently.


    That horrifying energy undulation practically burned Ye Yuan to ashes.


    However, the waves of light that the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain emitted were like a shield, protecting Ye Yuan firmly.


    Two horrifying auras intermeshed and canceled each other.


    Then, traces of energy bored into Ye Yuan''s body.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s hairs suddenly stood on end, all of his hair standing up.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan revolved the Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body frenziedly. Horrifying dragon aura spread out.


    That trace of energy activated the dragon race bloodline in Ye Yuan''s entire body all at once.


    Ye Yuan clenched his teeth tightly, his entire body caught in intense pain.


    In the 300 years, he had long cultivated his fleshy body to the peak third transformation.


    But this fourth transformation, he could not find the threshold from start to end.


    Today, he planned to borrow this power of Heavenly Dao and break through the shackles in one stroke!


    [1] Reminder, there are separate paths for different realms via the different towns. There are different towns for different realms, Southfoot Town was for divine lords.

 1674 Breakthrough Above Ten Miles!

    The energy in the electric snake was being stripped away bit by bit.


    Ye Yuan''s body was absorbing energy little by little!


    Amidst the incredible pain, Ye Yuan''s entire body radiated with a dazzling light.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan''s golden body became incomparably bright, illuminating the gloomy realm fog space akin to daytime!


    The Nine Transformations Golden Body''s fourth transformation was finally completed!


    Ye Yuan''s physical body directly broke through the shackles!


    Now, Ye Yuan could contend with Divine Lord Realm powerhouses just based on his physical body.


    However, it was not over yet!


    The crazy Ye Yuan was still stripping away energy and tempering the fleshy body.


    He was challenging his limits!


    The berserk energy poured into Ye Yuan''s body frenziedly.


    Finally, Ye Yuan could not withstand it and let go of the electric snake.


    While his fleshy body directly broke through to peak initial-stage fourth transformation!


    "Hahaha! Awesome! This electric snake''s energy is really too strong! I only used a little bit, and it can actually let me break through to the fourth transformation!"


    After enduring the suffering, Ye Yuan currently felt that he was filled with explosive power.


    That invigorating feeling made him unable to refrain from lifting his head to the sky and howling.


    Dustless smiled bitterly and said, "It was really accomplished by you, this brat! Truly a freak! Now, you can blow up a third-layered heaven Divine Lord with one punch!"


    Peak initial-stage fourth transformation, the strength was comparable to third-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    But powerhouses who cultivated the physical body could virtually sweep across those in the same rank!


    The power of Ye Yuan''s dragon race martial technique far surpassed ordinary fleshy body powerhouses. Blowing up a third-layered heaven Divine Lord was nothing difficult.


    Even facing fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords, he had the strength to fight too!


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "After breaking through this time, my Atavism Dragon Soul awakened again! Now, my fleshy body''s combat strength can finally be put to use!"


    Ye Yuan''s dragon race martial technique was mastered through extensive study, his combat strength immediately soared by more than a level.


    "Mn? Ye Yuan, look at your golden body. There seem to be some additional profound patterns!" Dustless suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, lowering his head and looking at his physical body.


    Under the electric snake''s berserk energy, Ye Yuan''s body was long in tattered ruins already.


    Ye Yuan discovered to his surprise that there were indeed some blue-colored profound patterns on his physical body.


    These blue profound patterns were inlaid into his golden body. If not looking closely, one really could not tell.


    Dustless shook his head and was also puzzled as he said, "Nine Transformations Golden Body would not have this kind of patterns show up. I don''t know as well. However �� the color of these patterns is very similar to that electric snake. Is it possible that �� inside the energy which you absorbed just now, some attribute inside the electric snake was absorbed over?"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, his scalp could not help tingling.


    This electric snake was undoubtedly extremely powerful. Even if encountered by Celestial Deity powerhouses, they would likely turn to ashes instantly too.


    Now, getting it onto his body, don''t know if it was a blessing or disaster!


    "Forget it, don''t care about it! It''s a blessing if not a calamity. If it''s a calamity, it can''t be avoided!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan withdrew the golden light on his body and took out a blue-robe from his storage ring to wear, and continued moving forward.


    No idea how long he walked either, it suddenly became bright in front of Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, the pressure on his body suddenly increased again.


    He realized that he could not go any further.


    Ye Yuan''s control of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain currently was merely limited to the fourth level.


    The further up this Heavenspan Mountain, the more powerful Heavenly Dao''s pressure.


    Now, it already reached the limit of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    Going further would be an unknown area for Ye Yuan. Even if he had the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, he would still be crushed into meat paste by Heavenly Dao.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of turning back.


    He felt the surrounding spiritual energy and immediately, a feeling of gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind transmitted over.


    "What powerful spiritual energy! Breaking through here is the most suitable!" Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Getting to work at once, Ye Yuan did not hesitate, directly sitting down cross-legged, and started digesting the comprehension he had along this ten-mile-road bit by bit.


    The Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s fourth level cultivation method''s framework was already built. Now, it was only a matter of understanding it thoroughly.


    When the fourth level cultivation method was thoroughly formed, he could break through the shackles in one fell swoop, breaking through to the fourth level realm!


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes and meditated, completely isolating the outside world.


    Either way, no one dared to attack inside the Heavenspan Mountain. He was not worried that someone would take the chance to deal a blow while he was meditating.


    One day, two days �� ten days, 15 days!


    In a blink, half a month passed.


    Suddenly, a storm came out of nowhere!


    Wind formed under Ye Yuan''s feet, gradually forming a spiritual energy vortex.


    Then, the vortex became bigger and bigger, the commotion became more and more horrifying.


    Rumble!


    A shocking aura surged to the sky.


    Ye Yuan''s body emitted rays of electric light. The spiritual energy above ten-miles closed in toward Ye Yuan''s place frenziedly.


    All around, the Celestial Deity powerhouses who were currently meditating with closed eyes were abruptly startled awake by this surge of powerful aura.


    "What''s going on? Somebody is breaking through?"


    "Who is breaking through? This commotion is also too frightening, right?"


    "Pfft! Is my eyesight failing? That �� That is an Origin Deity Realm martial artist, he �� he''s breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm?"


    "It''s really an Origin Deity Realm! My God, where did an Origin Deity Realm come from?"


    ...


    Above ten-miles, the group of Celestial Deity powerhouses burst into an utter uproar.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was very calm, calm until even throwing a rock could not stir up a hint of a wave.


    Because no one dared to behave atrociously here.


    But now, the situation completely exploded!


    The commotion of Ye Yuan breaking through was too great, disturbing all of the Celestial Deity powerhouses, causing them to be unable to sit quietly and meditate at all.


    This level of Heavenly Dao was thoroughly thrown into disorder by Ye Yuan.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan came out of the Martial Tower, the commotion caused was already sufficiently big.


    But compared to this time, that paled greatly in comparison.


    One had to know, the Heavenspan Mountain was the source of the Heavenspan World. Its spiritual energy was also the most in the entire Heavenspan World.


    The spiritual energy here was virtually more than a hundred times of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan comprehended the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, the heavens bestowed a blessing. The spiritual energy of the Heavenspan Mountain skyrocketed several times. Until now, it still had not completely dissipated yet.


    The Heavenspan Mountain''s spiritual energy could be described as horrifying.


    Furthermore, this place was the territory of Celestial Deities. The spiritual energy was far more compared to the territory of Divine Lords to begin with.


    Under such an environment, Ye Yuan still caused such a horrifying influence. It could be seen how astonishing his breakthrough this time was.


    Moreover, his breakthrough was different from ordinary people. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Dark clouds gathered overhead. It was simply like the end-of-the-world had descended.


    Ye Yuan''s entire being was surrounded by a cloud of thick fog. The Celestial Deity powerhouses could not see clearly at all.


    How could this kind of commotion be what an Origin Deity Realm martial artist breaking through should have?


    They pointed and gestured to Ye Yuan, each and every one of them with dumbfounded faces, completely ignorant of how this kind of thing could happen.


    Even if it were them, Celestial Deity powerhouses breaking through, they were unable to arouse such a terrifying commotion!

 1675 Brand New Realm!

    "I say, guys, do you think that guy wouldn''t have run over from the realm fog, right?"


    "There''s really a possibility! His position is at the edge of the fogrealm. The passageway also hasn''t opened up currently, so there''s no way that he came straight up from outside."


    "Yeah, an Origin Deity Realm, it''s impossible to run up by hiding among us too."


    "Where did this genius pop out from? Is the Heavenspan World''s sky going to change? An Origin Deity Realm breaking through actually has such commotion!"


    "Isn''t that so? Even if you and I break through, it''s also impossible to cause such a big commotion! Looking at his appearance, he''ll only give up after absorbing the spiritual energy above ten-miles clean!"


    ...


    The group of Celestial Deity powerhouses looked at the Ye Yuan inside the storm and was struck even more with wonder.


    Too many unknowns, too many mysteries; it made them feel unbearably itchy, wanting to take a look at just who was breaking through.


    And Ye Yuan''s divine sea was currently undergoing earth-shaking changes at this time.


    Innumerable spiritual energy entered his body from every pore, finally merging into the divine sea.


    His divine sea was just like a bottomless pit; unable to be filled no matter what.


    Ye Yuan''s divine sea was long already saturated. Logically speaking, it was unable to accommodate more divine essence at all.


    However, at this time, those viscous divine essence in his divine sea started to slowly revolve under the urging of the fourth level cultivation method.


    This revolution was just like a millstone, compressing and condensing the originally paste-like divine essence once more.


    As a result, after a large quantity of spiritual energy was refined by Ye Yuan, it merged into that vortex.


    This vortex was just like a black hole, devouring the refined divine essence frenziedly.


    Now, inside Ye Yuan''s divine lord, a slowly rotating viscous cyclone formed.


    In terms of size, this viscous cyclone was much smaller than before. But the thickness of the divine essence was a hundred times more than before!


    Rumble ��


    A horrifying aura transmitted out of the storm, reaching straight for the firmament!


    Ye Yuan''s aura soared frenziedly inside the storm.


    Finally, he broke through the bottleneck of Origin Deity Realm in one stroke, entering the Divine Dao fourth stage!


    Ye Yuan''s two eyes suddenly opened, his eyes shooting out rays of brilliant light.


    His eyes were full of shock.


    The storm started gradually dissipating. The Celestial Deity powerhouses outside all opened their eyes wide, wanting to take a look at just who it was that actually caused such a powerful influence.


    Swoosh!


    Just as a figure was faintly discernible, that person''s figure moved, directly tunneling into the fog realm.


    "What a cunning lad, actually ran!"


    "F*ck, this kid is too wily! Scratched until your father''s heart is unbearably itchy but he actually slipped away!"


    "Bastard, get back for your father! You''re being extremely irresponsible here! You''ll die a horrible death!"


    "This bastard, he actually really passed through via the fog realm. How in the world did he do it?"


    "This kid is too mysterious! Ahhh, I can''t take it anymore, who the hell was that punk?!"


    ...


    Right now, these Celestial Deity powerhouses were like watching a suspenseful movie, all of the mysteries would be revealed at the last second.


    But when this movie played out until all of the mysteries were about to be unveiled, the power suddenly cut off.


    This emotion of going crazy, only the parties involved could understand it.


    If Ye Yuan showed up right now, he would definitely be dismembered by a flurry of blades by these Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    However, Ye Yuan could not be bothered with those Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    He knew that his commotion was too big. Furthermore, passing through from the fog realm, those people would definitely be very curious.


    Once he revealed his true self, there would be countless troubles.


    Those were all Celestial Deity powerhouses. Even if Ye Yuan''s current means were immensely formidable, it was also impossible to be their match.


    If someone had a malicious intent, wanting to find him to be a guinea pig, or coveted the treasures on him, that would not be too good.


    As for their unbearably itchy hearts, Ye Yuan did not care.


    Whatever!


    Of course, Ye Yuan being anxious to get away was because naturally there was a more important thing to do.


    Because he broke through to a brand new realm, a completely different realm!


    Ye Yuan needed to figure out just what kind of realm he broke through to.


    Creating a cultivation method, everything was empty talk.


    What it was like after breaking through, Ye Yuan was completely unsure too.


    Everything needed him to go and fumble.


    Entering the fog realm, Ye Yuan found an open space and started introspecting his own body.


    Inside the divine sea, a viscous cyclone was revolving systematically, like a cluster of nebulae.


    But Ye Yuan could feel that his divine essence was already completely different from before.


    As for the specifics of what was different, he could not tell either.


    The size of the viscous divine essence was around one-fourth smaller than before.


    But the total reserve of the divine essence was a hundred times more than before!


    Ye Yuan sensed that this viscous cyclone seemed to be very mysterious. It further compressed the viscous divine essence.


    He clearly absorbed a large amount of divine essence, but the size became even smaller than before instead.


    However, what surprised Ye Yuan was that his divine sea became small too!


    Other people breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm, it was transforming the divine sea into a small world.


    Him on the other hand, not only did his divine sea not become big, it shrunk instead.


    "Mn? What''s this?"


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that the surroundings of the viscous cyclone seemed to have some miniscule patterns.


    "These patterns seem �� to be somewhat similar to the patterns on your body!" Dustless suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan looked carefully. It really was so!


    But studying it for a long time, he also did not figure out what use these patterns had.


    "What �� What''s my realm? Seems like �� calling it Divine Lord Realm isn''t too appropriate, right?" Ye Yuan suddenly said with a bitter smile.


    By creating a small world and becoming the sovereign of a world, only then could one be called a Divine Lord.


    But Ye Yuan did not have a small world at all and naturally could not be called a Divine Lord.


    Dustless also looked speechless as he said, "This path of yours is unprecedented and unrepeatable. But I can feel that your realm is likely extraordinary! Maybe �� the path that you take is correct and others �� forget it, you''d better name it."


    Ye Yuan had a bitter smile on his face, suddenly having a feeling of how the world was drunk and he alone was awake.


    He thought about it and said, "Since a cyclone formed in my divine sea, why not call it Divine Vortex Realm!"


    Dustless nodded when he heard it and said, "Divine Vortex Realm, it''s apt. Heh heh, this old man is somewhat looking forward to just where you, this kid, can walk to!"


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, "I don''t dare to say which step I can walk until, but right now, I''m somewhat itching to have a go. I want to try the power of this Divine Vortex Realm!"


    Dustless froze when he heard that and said with uncertainty, "How to try?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Isn''t there a live target ahead? Heh heh, let''s go back."


    Dustless was stunned and immediately revealed a knowing smile.


    When that group of people saw Ye Yuan return, they would definitely get a big shock, right?

 1676 Slapping Faces When Hitting People

    "Don''t look anymore. You don''t think that he can really come out, right?"


    At a summit of ten miles, Leng Qiuling was somewhat absent-minded. This one month''s time, she was unable to sit quietly and meditate, looking over in the direction of the fog realm from time to time.


    When Zhuo Han saw this, his jealousy could not resist bursting out, speaking sarcastically.


    Leng Qiuling gave him a glance indifferently and said coolly, "Maybe he can really come out?"


    Zhuo Han laughed in spite of himself and said, "I know what you''re thinking, but there''s a saying called can be done once, twice, but not thrice! Does he really think that he''s something? An Origin Deity Realm barging into the fog realm, this is purely courting death!"


    Leng Qiuling opened her mouth but did not speak.


    What Zhuo Han said was reasonable. Even though she knew that Ye Yuan was very mysterious and had a lot of means.


    But this fog realm clearly already surpassed the normal scope. No matter how immensely formidable one''s means were, it was also impossible to come out from inside.


    Leng Qiuling also did not know why she would be like this. Perhaps it was that stepping up for her without the slightest hesitation.


    Different from other people''s deliberate striking up a conversation with her, Ye Yuan was purely just helping her out.


    Leng Qiuling could tell that when she took out the jade sword, Ye Yuan hesitated for that split second.


    Clearly, he did not want to take it.


    Zhuo Han gave Leng Qiuling a glance and said, "Junior Sister Leng, I admit that this kid has some capabilities, but people like him will screw themselves to death sooner or later. This kind of guy isn''t worth you recalling with nostalgia at all."


    Right at this time, a nonchalant voice sounded out, drawing everyone''s gaze, "Oh? So a moron like you is worth recalling with nostalgia?"


    It was only to see Ye Yuan slowly walk out of the fog with a playful smile on his face.


    Ye Yuan''s sudden appearance immediately caused an uproar.


    "I-Is my eyesight failing? He really came out alive of the fog realm?"


    "Hang on! His aura seems to be different! It''s no longer Origin Deity Realm anymore!"


    "It really is! His aura is much more powerful, but �� I can''t quite see through him!"


    "What in the world did he experience inside the fog realm? Could it be that inside the realm fog, there''s some fortuitous encounter?"


    ...


    Everyone had disbelieving looks. For an Origin Deity Realm to be able to enter the Heavenspan Mountain, fine. An Origin Deity Realm being able to walk to the summit of ten miles could also be understood.


    But, an Origin Deity Realm entering the realm fog and still being able to come out, what the hell was this?


    Could it be that this guy was unkillable?


    When Zhuo Han saw Ye Yuan, he had an expression like he had seen a ghost, stammering when speaking.


    "How did I come out? Naturally, it''s walked out!" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Zhuo Han had shock written all over his face. Why was this guy''s life so tenacious?


    The so-called forbidden land, he walked across it as easily as flat ground.


    There was actually such a freakish person in this world?


    Not far away, Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan, pleasantly surprised, but also shocked.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan actually really came out of the fog realm.


    This man was truly an enigmatic existence!


    This one month''s time, what on earth did he experience inside?


    Ye Yuan slowly walked over toward Zhuo Han and said with a grin, "Still remember what I said before I left?"


    Even though Ye Yuan''s aura skyrocketed significantly, with his ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord strength, he naturally would not be scared of Ye Yuan.


    Recalling the words before Ye Yuan left, he smiled coldly and said, "This place is the Heavenspan Mountain. Even if I don''t dare to attack you, could it be that you dare to make a move on me?"


    Ye Yuan chuckled as he looked at Zhuo Han and said, "Then �� Let''s give it a try?"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan suddenly slammed a fist out, directly striking Zhuo Han''s face.


    Zhuo Han completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually dared to really attack.


    Caught off-guard, he was sent flying by one punch.


    A person must not hit the face when hitting people. But this punch of Ye Yuan''s aimed for the face, hitting until his face was full of blood.


    Zhuo Han staggered to his feet, his entire person dazed and confused, unable to even differentiate the direction.


    "S-So strong! A casual punch actually breached Zhuo Han''s divine essence protection!" Leng Qiuling said with a face full of shock.


    Ye Yuan himself also looked at his fist, pleasant surprise all over his face.


    The power of this punch somewhat exceeded his imagination.


    This punch earlier, he did not employ the power of the fleshy body. It completely relied on the power of divine essence.


    He discovered that his divine essence seemed to be totally different from before.


    Even though his punch did not have world power, he could sense that there was another kind of power contained inside, enhancing the power of his moves!


    Ye Yuan did not know what this power was called. But he was certain that it was absolutely not weaker than world power.


    No, wait, it should be above the standard rather than below it!


    Zhuo Han shook his head hard before barely managing to come back to his senses.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and burned with rage.


    "You �� You actually really dared to make a move! I �� I''m going to kill you!"


    Zhuo Han being so old, it was still his first time being so disgraced, to actually get hit by a brat who just broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!


    He currently already lost his head in fury and completely forgotten that he was at the Heavenspan Mountain.


    The aura of ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord suddenly released. That terrifying divine essence undulation gave people a feeling of palpitation.


    This Zhuo Han''s strength indeed was not just for show.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han with a smile that was not a smile, seemingly not worried at all.


    Suddenly, a terrifying aura came from above the sky.


    Dark clouds virtually formed in an instant.


    The terrifying aura instantly overshadowed Zhuo Han''s aura.


    Zhuo Han suddenly shuddered, a scent of death instantly clutched his throat, making him unable to breathe.


    Without thinking, Zhuo Han dismissed his divine essence and recovered to his normal state.


    Only then did the dark clouds in the sky calm it''s angry and dissipate away.


    Even though the dark clouds dissipated, Zhuo Han''s back was already drenched in sweat.


    Only now did he abruptly and completely come to his senses, this was on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    As long as someone dared to make a move, it would trigger heavenly punishment!


    Fortunately, he did not attack just now. Otherwise, he would have already turned to ashes now.


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Why was this guy fine?


    Not just him, everyone used a horrified expression to look at Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan''s momentum was far from Zhuo Han''s, he had indeed employed divine essence and the power of laws.


    Why didn''t heavenly punishment descend?


    "Weren''t you going to kill me? I''m standing right here, bring it on!" Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han with a smile that was not a smile and said.


    Zhuo Han''s expression was incomparably ugly. Currently, in his eyes, Ye Yuan was an out-and-out monster.


    "If you''re not coming over, then I''m going over! That punch earlier wasn''t done to my satisfaction yet!"


    Ye Yuan slowly pressed in on Zhuo Han. Zhuo Han was really frightened this time. He repeatedly backed away, expression panicky as he said, "D-Don''t come over! You don''t come over! Why, why doesn''t it bring on heavenly punishment when you attack?!"


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to explain to him at all. His figure suddenly vanished from where he was standing, and then he dealt another punch at Zhuo Han''s face!

 1677 Plundering Clean

    Ye Yuan''s current realm was merely more or less the same as a first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan''s fist could not cause real damage to Zhuo Han.


    But each punch of his was fist to the flesh, pummeling Zhuo Han''s face brutally.


    Zhuo Han''s protective divine essence could not block Ye Yuan''s fist at all.


    With a few fists, Zhuo Han''s entire person was hit until he was dizzy, unable to differentiate north, south, east, west at all.


    He only had one thought right now, that was to run!


    "D-Don''t hit anymore!"


    Everything turned dark before Zhuo Han''s eyes, eyes kept on rolling back, shouting as he ran wildly.


    That appearance was comical to the extreme.


    On the massive Heavenspan Mountain, the two people could be described as ''you chased, I fled.''


    Except, a first-layered heaven Divine Lord pursuing a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord and beating the latter, this image was seriously too impactful.


    Yet, one could not fly on the Heavenspan Mountain. Ye Yuan even knew spatial magical abilities, walking as if on wings.


    No matter how Zhuo Han ran, he could catch up in a couple of steps, then firmly give him a punch.


    By the side, the people were all dumbfounded.


    "This guy is also too strong, right?"


    "The crux is that why didn''t he trigger heavenly punishment?"


    "This kid is really too mysterious. All along the way, he subverted our understanding!"


    "Tsk tsk, Zhuo Han suffered a big loss this time. An exalted ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord could only be beaten and not fight back, it''s really aggrieving to death."


    ...


    Zhuo Han''s junior apprentice brothers all did not dare to step forward. They did not dare to make a move either and could only watch Zhuo Han get beaten helplessly.


    Finally, Zhuo Han could not take it anymore and cried out tearfully, "I beg you, don''t hit anymore. Keep hitting and I''ll be disfigured! As long as you don''t hit anymore, I''ll agree to anything you want me to do!"


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan stopped and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Anything really goes?"


    "Yes! Anything goes! As long as you stop attacking!"


    Zhuo Han was really frightened. This was simply an endless torture.


    This guy in front of him was simply a devil!


    Zhuo Han suddenly felt that in this Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan was invincible.


    The Heavenspan Mountain''s various restrictions on ordinary martial artists completely had no effect on him.


    You could not attack, but he could!


    You could not enter the fog realm, he could!


    In this world, was there still such an unreasonable thing?


    A dignified ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord, placed outside, that was a powerhouse of a region!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright. I''ll say two things, and as long as you can accomplish them, not attacking you is doable."


    "You say, you say! You say whatever and I''ll agree!" Zhuo Han did not even think and immediately said.


    He was not dumb and naturally knew that Ye Yuan would demand an exorbitant price.


    But currently, he had no choice!


    Facing an invincible opponent, other than yielding, what other choices did you have?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Firstly, apologize to Miss Leng and swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to not pester her again in the future!"


    Zhuo Han''s brain had just come back to his senses. Hearing this, his expression could not help changing and he pointed at Ye Yuan and said furiously, "Ye Yuan, you �� you''re despicable!"


    Ye Yuan did not get angry either, raising his fist smilingly.


    Zhuo Han could not help choking and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, "Fine, I promise you!"


    In Zhuo Han''s view, Ye Yuan definitely wanted to lust after someone out of his league, using this kind of method to force him to quit.


    Actually, Ye Yuan really did not have improper thoughts toward Leng Qiuling. It was all Zhuo Han''s own wishful thinking.


    But Ye Yuan also would not explain it. After all, in front of so many people, a lady''s face was still very important.


    Letting everyone misunderstand a little was unimportant to him.


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, not expecting that Ye Yuan''s first request was actually for her sake.


    Honestly speaking, she was really annoyed by this stick candy-like Zhuo Han to the max. Yet, she could not shake him off no matter what.


    The two families'' elders were very optimistic about the interaction between them.


    Now, being able to resolve this problem once and for all, it was naturally a good thing to her.


    Thinking up to this point, she was rather moved by Ye Yuan in her heart.


    It was only to see Zhuo Han come before Leng Qiuling unwillingly. Using an extremely resentful gaze to look at her, he opened his mouth, but could not say anything.


    Everyone said that the more unobtainable the woman, the more tempted men were.


    Conquering an iceberg beauty like this was an extremely fulfilling sense of accomplishment to Zhuo Han.


    He also believed that by relying on his talent, he could melt this iceberg one day.


    But now, because of one oath, all of his efforts vanished like soap bubbles.


    "What? You still have a chance to go back on your word now!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han with a grin and raised his fist again.


    Zhuo Han was already frightened out of his wits by Ye Yuan. He gritted his teeth, bowed to Leng Qiuling, and said, "Junior Sister Leng, in the past, it was all my fault. I shouldn''t have pestered you! I, Zhuo Han, swear in the name of Heavenly Dao, to absolutely not pester you anymore in the future! If I violate this oath, I''ll die a horrible death!"


    Zhuo Han hated Ye Yuan in his heart!


    But he could not do anything about it!


    He already thought it over. After leaving the Heavenspan Mountain, he must think of ways to kill Ye Yuan.


    This enmity must be avenged!


    Hearing Zhuo Han''s oath, Leng Qiuling also had a feeling akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    She turned to Ye Yuan and said coolly, "Thank you!"


    Although the tone was very indifferent, Ye Yuan could feel her sincerity and smiled at once, saying, "A small matter, Miss Leng don''t have to mind."


    These two people''s conversation seemed very plain, but it was extremely sardonic in other people''s ears.


    Zhuo Han said that he would no longer pester Leng Qiuling, but Leng Qiuling said thanks to Ye Yuan.


    This smack was really smacked resoundingly!


    How adverse was she toward Zhuo Han to say this kind of words in public?


    Zhuo Han''s expression was simply even uglier than having eaten a fly.


    Uh, of course, his currently pig-head-like face, others could not tell either.


    Many people were secretly snickering, the scene was extremely embarrassing for some time.


    Leng Qiuling''s disposition was cold. Her emotional intelligence was obviously on the low-side. She still had not felt that there was anything wrong with her words.


    But looking at everyone laughing, she was somewhat confused.


    Zhuo Han himself could not take it anymore. Turning to Ye Yuan, he said, "I''ve already done the first condition, so state the second!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Hand over all of the storage rings on you and your junior apprentice brothers!"


    When Zhuo Han heard, he immediately wanted to roar. But seeing Ye Yuan raise his fist, that chest full of rage immediately fizzled out.


    "C-Consider yourself ruthless!'' Zhuo Han was angered until he was about to explode, but could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all.


    Apart from yielding, what else could he do?


    Zhuo Han turned to the group of junior brothers and said crossly, "Hand over all of the storage rings on your bodies!''


    Finished talking, he himself took out a bunch of storage rings. After removing the imprints, he threw them to Ye Yuan altogether.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han and said with a smile that was not a smile, "All swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, don''t think of smoking through!"


    Zhuo Han could not help choking when he heard that and could only fish out another storage ring from his body.


    Clearly, the things inside this storage ring were very important to him.


    He looked at Ye Yuan viciously, wanting to say a few fierce words, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he forced it back.


    Saying fierce words at this time was purely asking for trouble.

 1678 Leaving the Heavenspan Mountain

    Ye Yuan collected over a hundred storage rings and made each of them swear a Heavenly Dao Oath before he was willing to drop the matter.


    No need to check to find out. These hundred over storage rings were definitely a large sum of wealth.


    These people all came from an imperial capital, they were not shabby like the geniuses of imperial cities.


    Breaking through to the Divine Vortex Realm, Ye Yuan''s expenditure would increase. He naturally would not mind having an abundance of money.


    Putting away the storage rings, Ye Yuan said to Zhuo Han with a smile, "You all carry on comprehending Heavenly Dao. I won''t disturb anymore. If we''re fated, we''ll meet again."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    "L-Left just like that." Everyone had a stunned expression.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was not what one could come as and when they liked. Each time they came to the Heavenspan Mountain, the martial artist''s body would carry away quite a bit of Heavenly Dao''s aura.


    Only by refining all of these Heavenly Dao aurae could one enter once more.


    To geniuses like Leng Qiuling and Zhuo Han, they only used around 100 year''s time and could pretty much digest all of these Heavenly Dao.


    But to martial artists with very weak aptitude, they needed to spend thousands, even tens of thousands of years before they could digest these Heavenly Dao.


    Therefore, coming to the Heavenspan Mountain each time was an extremely precious opportunity for martial artists. They all cherished it very much.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s current intention, he was actually going to leave in-advance.


    Ye Yuan''s goal of coming to the Heavenspan Mountain was already attained. He already did not need to stay here any longer.


    Creating the fourth level cultivation method, before Ye Yuan broke through to the fifth level, there would not be much of a bottleneck.


    There was nothing that could not be solved by a medicinal pill.


    Moreover, with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain on him, if not for encountering the major bottleneck this time, he did not need to come to the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Bringing along a Heavenspan Mountain on him was a great thing.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Leng Qiuling actually gave rise to a faint sense of melancholy in her heart.


    She was taken aback with fright by her feelings. She actually had the feeling of not bearing to part toward a man?


    This �� shouldn''t be!


    But Leng Qiuling was indifferent by nature and restrained her thoughts very quickly, and started comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    She came to the Heavenspan Mountain this time in order to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm in one stroke.


    Currently, she already wasted a lot of time. She could not delay any longer.


    When Ning Tianping saw Ye Yuan, his eyes immediately lit up and he said in surprise, "Ye Yuan, you �� you broke through!"


    Ning Tianping was secretly shocked in his heart. He did not quite understand, with his strength, he actually could not see through Ye Yuan''s depths.


    He just knew that Ye Yuan''s aura skyrocketed recently. He definitely broke through to the Divine Lord Realm soundly already.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This trip wasn''t in vain. Come on, let''s go down the mountain!"


    Ning Tianping did not hesitate either and nodded his head and said, "Go!"


    However, Mo Lifei was indignant and said with a frown, "A chance to come to the Heavenspan Mountain is hard to come by, so how can you give up halfway?"


    Ye Yuan glanced at Ning Tianping and smiled without saying a word.


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Master, you still don''t understand His Excellency enough. Now that he broke through to rank four, this disciple breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm is also right around the corner. I don''t need to waste time at the Heavenspan Mountain at all."


    Mo Lifei was stunned and full of puzzlement.


    Ning Tianping continued and said, "Master isn''t aware, but His Excellency is even a Four-star Alchemy God!


    Mo Lifei thought that Ye Yuan had some astonishing ability. After hearing it, he said disdainfully, "Four-star Alchemy Gods, you can easily find a whole bunch in this world! It''s true that he''s impressive, but his impressiveness can''t transfer onto you either! A Four-star Alchemy God can ensure that you breakthrough to Celestial Deity Realm? This Celestial Deity Realm is also too pointless!"


    Ning Tianping was speechless. He also knew that not seeing Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao standard with their own eyes, it was very hard for normal people to believe it.


    Ning Tianping just chuckled and transmitted his voice to Mo Lifei who was inside the spirit void ring, "Master, you''ll know how terrifying His Excellency''s Alchemy Dao standard in the future. Perhaps, he''ll be the second Medicine Ancestor!"


    The Mo Lifei inside the spirit void ring trembled all over, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    Ning Tianping''s appraisal was a little too high, right?


    However, if Ye Yuan''s alchemy strength could really rival the Medicine Ancestor''s, then helping Ning Tianping to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm was naturally nothing difficult.


    While Mo Lifei was in a daze, Ning Tianping already went down the mountain with Ye Yuan.


    At the bottom of each level of the Heavenspan Mountain, there would be a passageway.


    As long as one entered that passageway, they would be able to get out of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    The two people passed right through the passageway and returned to the Heavenspan World.


    Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to leave but returned to Southfoot Town.


    Within reason and favor, he should bid farewell to the old drunkard.


    When the old drunkard saw Ye Yuan, he could not help getting a shock.


    "You �� You really returned safe and sound! No, wait, you even broke through! But why �� do I actually have a feeling of not being able to see through your actual situation?"


    Seeing Ye Yuan again, the old drunkard discovered that monumental changes took place on Ye Yuan''s body.


    This kind of transformation was very hard to use words to describe.


    But without a doubt, Ye Yuan broke through to rank four!


    At this moment, he finally understood why Dustless thought so highly of Ye Yuan.


    Entering the Heavenspan Mountain with Origin Deity Realm strength, not only did he come out unscathed, he even broke through the shackles.


    Just based on this, it was not what ordinary people could accomplish.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior''s cultivation method is a little special. So it looks somewhat like inside a cloud and fog."


    The old drunkard''s expression changed and he said in surprise, "Since you obtained Lord Immortal Grove''s inheritance, you actually didn''t cultivate his cultivation method?"


    The old drunkard understood Immortal Grove very well. Even though Immortal Grove was very formidable, his cultivation method could not possibly let Ye Yuan give him this kind of feeling.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This junior didn''t cultivate Senior Immortal Grove''s cultivation method."


    The old drunkard''s expression changed, incredibly shocked in their hearts.


    One had to know, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s cultivation method was the Heavenspan World''s peak cultivation method.


    As long as one cultivated in the proper order, forget about Heavenly Empyrean Realm, even peak Heavenly Emperor was completely not an issue.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not cultivate!


    Then where did his cultivation method come from?


    Dustless also appeared and said with a smile, "You don''t have to guess here and there anymore. This cultivation method was created by Ye Yuan! He encountered a bottleneck, so that''s why he would come to the Heavenspan Mountain to seek opportunities to break through. Now that he already broke through successfully, there''s naturally no need to stay as well. Old drunkard, you just wait at ease. About Immortal Grove''s grudge, Ye Yuan will help him to avenge it before long!"


    Old drunkard''s entire body trembled, with titanic waves setting off in his heart.


    For Dustless to dare say this, it showed that he had full confidence in Ye Yuan.


    Looking at it now, this kid in front of him was really not as simple as he imagined.


    After the astonishment, the old drunkard gave Ye Yuan a deep glance and said, "Alright, this old man will wait for your good news! If you can help Lord Immortal Grove take revenge, this old man will serve you all your life by slaving and toiling for you for life!"


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, "Senior Drunkard is too serious, that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, I have a great enmity too. Even if not for Senior Immortal Grove''s sake, I won''t let him go either."


    Dustless scolded with a laugh, "You old fogey, you really take yourself to be someone important! This kid''s future accomplishments are far from what you can imagine! Jiu Shang is merely one of his stepping stones!"

 1679 Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation

    After the two people went out of the boundary of Southfoot Town, they directly entered the Purple Extreme Hall and sped like the wind toward the incoming road.


    After several days, the Purple Extreme Hall came to a canyon.


    Suddenly, the Purple Extreme Hall seemed to have been caught in a quagmire and was actually unable to advance an inch further.


    "Your Excellency, what''s going on?" Ning Tianping said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said, "Looks like there are some small tails that weren''t cleaned up and came to look for abuse again. Come, let''s go out and take a look."


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The moment the two people just revealed their figures, over a dozen sharp arrows tore through the air and interwoven to form a dense network of arrows.


    Ning Tianping''s expression changed and he cried out, "Careful, Your Excellency!"


    Normally, they were naturally able to dodge these sharp arrows.


    But currently, they were similarly caught in the quagmire, their figures being greatly restricted.


    Ye Yuan discovered that even his spatial laws were actually unable to work well!


    Clearly, they were caught in a powerful array formation.


    What was fatal was that after these sharp arrows entered the array formation, they would not slow down like the trapped people, but they accelerated instead!


    The timing was grasped perfectly, not giving even any chance to enter the Purple Extreme Hall once more.


    At the critical moment, Ye Yuan suddenly gave a loud roar.


    Golden light burst out on his body, the faint blue patterns seemingly came to live, wandering around on Ye Yuan''s body.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan felt like his body was filled with strength.


    The furious dragon roar surged straight to the sky!


    The Voice of the Dragon God that had not been seen for a long time!


    By the side, Ning Tianping looked at this scene in immense shock.


    He completely had no idea that His Excellency actually still had such a trump card.


    The horrifying sound wave spread out. Those dozen over sharp arrows were directly shattered into smithereens.


    Regarding the Voice of the Dragon God''s power, Ye Yuan also did not expect that it would be so powerful.


    Those arrows were obviously specially made and were already peak celestial deity artifacts, with the quality being extremely hard.


    Furthermore, array formations were enchanted on the arrows. They could traverse freely and not be affected by this large formation.


    Ye Yuan originally only wanted to change the trajectory of the arrows through the Voice of the Dragon God. He did not expect that they actually directly shattered.


    A roar shattered celestial deity artifacts. How powerful was this Voice of the Dragon God''s might?


    Avoiding this wave of certain-kill assault, Ning Tianping was already drenched in sweat all over his body.


    He knew that he already circled one round around the gates of hell and back.


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would already be shot into a sieve now.


    Outside the large formation, a group of people appeared on the hillside.


    Xiang Yunfei bellowed, "Boss He, you bragged to me how powerful your Wind Breaking Arrows were every day. This is how powerful it is? One roar from that punk caused all your arrows to shatter! All shattered! I gave you guys all of my assets. Now, you give this kind of result to repay me?"


    They were outside the large formation and could not feel the power of Ye Yuan''s Voice of the Dragon God at all.


    Therefore, Xiang Yunfei felt that this Boss He''s Wind Breaking Arrows were only the latter''s brag. The power simply did not cut it.


    Boss He was a very powerful bandit in a gang in the vicinity of Riverluck Capital City.


    Of course, they were also a group of notorious bandits.


    They came and went without traces, frequently highway-robbing some passing merchants and experts. The powerhouses who died in their hands were too many to enumerate.


    It was said that they had even killed before a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse!


    This group of people, their strengths were not even beneath the three major forces.


    Xiang Yunfei had wide connections. He expended considerable effort and finally contacted this group of bandits.


    He handed all of his assets to the boss, He Tianxiang, inviting them to make a move to intercept and kill Ye Yuan.


    Of course, his bit of assets, Boss He thought little of it.


    But when Xiang Yunfei told Boss He the news that Ye Yuan had the Purple Extreme Hall, he was moved.


    This kind of spatial flying-type mystic treasure, furthermore, it was at least a celestial deity mystic treasure existence, there was no way they would not be moved.


    Therefore, this group of people followed closely behind Ye Yuan, arrived in the vicinity of the Heavenspan Mountain, and lay in ambush in this canyon.


    This canyon was a road that must be passed through back to Riverluck Capital City. If Ye Yuan wanted to return, he would definitely go through from here.


    Actually, the strength of Boss He, this group of bandits, was not strong. What they were truly powerful in was this array formation and the Wind Breaking Arrow.


    This array formation was a powerful peak Divine Dao rank four array formation. Even if late-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses get caught inside, it would be very hard to get away too.


    They had indeed killed before a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. It was by relying on this Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation!


    Xiang Yunfei also took fancy on precisely Boss He''s grand array. That was why he would come and find Boss He to take action.


    He did not expect that this certain-kill attack was actually shattered by Ye Yuan, how could he not be furious?


    Boss He shot Xiang Yunfei a cold glance and said, "Xiang Yunfei, you dare to roar at your father? Do you think that you''re still a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse?"


    Xiang Yunfei''s expression changed, his anger immediately reducing considerably, but he still said furiously, "You screwed things up. I''ll see what you do now!"


    Boss He''s brows were tightly locked as he said with a cold snort, "This Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation coupled with the Wind Breaking Arrow, unless one''s strength reached eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord, otherwise, it''s absolutely impossible to resolve it! Do you think that his roar earlier was that simple? Your father''s Wind Breaking Arrow, each one is a peak celestial deity artifact. It''s entire body was forged with Thousandfall Profound Ice Metal! More than ten being released in a volley, even an immortal will find it hard to block! This kid is very troublesome!"


    Xiang Yunfei gradually calmed down and discovered that it seemed like he really simplified things.


    Peak celestial deity artifact, even if it was him at his prime, wanting to shatter one bare-handedly was extremely difficult, let alone more than ten.


    But Ye Yuan actually shattered more than ten with a shout. This roar naturally would not be so simple.


    "What to do now then?" Xiang Yunfei said with a grim expression.


    Boss He said, "Relax! His bit of strength can''t break the Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation at all! This grand array is very powerful and even has the effect of devouring divine essence. Didn''t you say that he doesn''t have much divine essence stones on hand anymore? I''ll see when he can hold out until! Getting caught in the Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation, he''ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings!"


    Hearing this, Xiang Yunfei revealed a look of great joy.


    "Xiang Yunfei, you''re very good! Since you found helpers to come and ambush this Ye, then be prepared to suffer this Ye''s wrath!"


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s voice was transmitted out of the grand array.


    Xiang Yunfei''s expression changed. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually directly guessed that it was him.


    However, at the thought that Ye Yuan was caught in the grand array, he immediately felt much more relieved. He smiled coldly and said, "Brat, this Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation, even a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord is unable to break free when trapped inside! I want to see what your wrath is! Want to use divine lord mystic treasures to detonate again? I want to see how many divine lord mystic treasures you have!"


    When Boss He heard that, he also smiled coldly and said, "Kid, getting caught in the Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation, you just wait to die with peace of mind! Your spatial laws are too weak and can''t crack this array formation at all."


    "Is that so? Then �� I''ll let you take a look at this young master''s wrath right now!"


    Ye Yuan''s voice transmitted over faintly.

 1680 Brutally Beating Fourth-Layered Heaven!

    "Shameless boasting fool! This set of array formation, your father has already used for ten thousand years. No one has ever ��"


    Boss He was extremely confident in the Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation. He had used this set of array formation to trap god knows how many experts to death before. It had never failed.


    But his words were just said halfway when a loud explosion sound came from inside the canyon.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Countless explosive sound interwoven together. Then a beam of light burst out of the array formation, forcefully escaping the Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation.


    Boss He was startled with fright, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    The Purple Extreme Hall stopped in midair, revealing Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping''s figures. Ye Yuan''s gaze was filled with killing intent.


    ''No one has ever come out before,'' these few words, were forcefully swallowed back into his stomach by him.


    He used an expression like he had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan and cried out, "Impossible! How �� How did you come out? The Chaos Element Profound Water Deity Trapping Formation is absolutely without chinks in its armor! How �� How in the world did you do it?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "No chinks in the armor? How is there any array formation without weaknesses to exploit in this world? No matter how invulnerable it is, it''s also merely a rank four array formation. Just blow it up will do!"


    "B-Blow it up?" Boss He muttered.


    He naturally saw the explosion in the grand array. But he could not imagine what kind of explosion could blow up his array formation.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said in a cold voice, "Yeah, over 30 middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures exploding at the same time, wouldn''t it break?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Xiang Yunfei and Boss He both could not resist shuddering.


    "O-Over 30 middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures! You lunatic! H-How can you possibly have so many middle-rank mystic treasures on you?"


    Boss He and Xiang Yunfei''s hearts were dripping blood. More than 30 middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures were actually gone just like that!


    This guy was not only a madman, but he was also a prodigal son!


    Ye Yuan originally did not have so many middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures on him. But he fleeced Zhuo Han and his junior brothers of their storage rings. They virtually had quite a few divine lord mystic treasures in each of their hands, middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures were naturally not in the minority.


    Just Zhuo Han alone had seven or eight middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures!


    Imperial capitals'' geniuses were indeed loaded as hell!


    If not for these middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures, it would really not be easy for Ye Yuan to want to come out.


    But it had no effect on high-rank divine lord mystic treasures.


    Detonating more than 30 divine lord mystic treasures in an instant, it was equivalent to more than 30 middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses attacking all-out.


    These explosions concentrating at one point, the power in that instant practically rivaled the all-out attack of late-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    Therefore, this unassailable grand array had a crack blasted out.


    One crack was sufficient!


    Ye Yuan looked at Boss He with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Yeah, thanks to you, not one of the middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures on my remains! Speaking of which, I still have to thank you!"


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s gaze, Boss He could not resist shuddering.


    Over 30 middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures, this was a colossal sum of wealth.


    Even for Ye Yuan, it also somewhat hurt.


    But when Xiang Yunfei heard this, he suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Ye Yuan, you''re saying that you don''t have middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures on you anymore? Hahaha �� you fool, don''t even know how to put on an empty show of strength, to actually tell me this sort of thing!"


    What he was most wary of was Ye Yuan detonating divine lord mystic treasures.


    Because of this, he was blown until his realm fell the last time. Currently, he was only peak fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord and it was difficult to return to fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord anymore.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually told him that he did not have middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures on him anymore. He no longer needed to be afraid anymore.


    Although Xiang Yunfei could not see through Ye Yuan''s actual situation, even if he broke through, he was at the very most first-layered heaven Divine Lord now as well.


    With his peak fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord strength, killing Ye Yuan was more than plenty!


    Ye Yuan looked at him like he was looking at a dead man. He said coolly to Ning Tianping, "That bunch of guys will be left to you. Leave this guy to me!"


    Ning Tianping nodded and said, "Your Excellency, be careful!"


    Boss He was merely a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, while the others were all initial-stage Divine Lord Realm.


    The battle of middle-stage Divine Lord Realm, they could not stick a hand in at all.


    The moment Xiang Yunfei heard, he could not help laughing wildly as he said, "You''re saying that you want to challenge me alone? Foolish fellow, do you really think that you can go against the heavens by breaking though? Even if your father''s realm fell, I''m still middle-stage Divine Lord Realm too. Killing you �� is merely lifting a finger!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold and he said nonchalantly, "Oh? Is that so?"


    Swoosh!


    Finished saying this sentence, Ye Yuan''s figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.


    Xiang Yunfei''s gaze turned sharp and he exclaimed, "So fast!"


    "Universe Dragon Claw!"


    Ye Yuan gave a loud cry, blue patterns flashing on his body. An azure dragon''s enormous claw suddenly reached out of the void, smacking over toward Xiang Yunfei.


    The moment the dragon claw emerged, the world was alarmed!


    This claw was too fast, Xiang Yunfei could not react in time at all.


    Bang!


    "Puhwark!"


    Xiang Yunfei was directly smacked flying by a claw, fresh blood spouting wildly.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of letting him catch his breath. Following that, another claw smacked out.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    ...


    In the sky, only to see dragon claws disappear and reappear again.


    Ye Yuan was currently in a state of violent rage, venting the frustration in his heart frenziedly, pummeling Xiang Yunfei.


    The battle over there had not started yet, because Boss He they all were long dumbstruck with amazement.


    The battle indeed took on a one-sided situation, but it was totally different from what was imagined previously!


    One-sided, but the side leaned towards Ye Yuan, and not Xiang Yunfei.


    Above the sky, Xiang Yunfei already unleashed all of his abilities. But the power of this dragon claw was too strong, he could not resist all.


    Ye Yuan actually used pure strength to suppress him!


    Xiang Yunfei was wildly shaken in his heart. Did not expect that after Ye Yuan broke through, his strength was actually so terrifying.


    His apprehension towards Ye Yuan entirely stemmed from middle-rank divine lord mystic treasures. But he discovered to his dismay that Ye Yuan''s own strength, he was completely unable to resist even a bit!


    Ye Yuan was also inexplicably pleasantly surprised in his heart. Because he discovered that the dragon race martial techniques were stronger all-round.


    He could feel that each time he launched a martial technique, there was a profound and mysterious power that gathered in his martial techniques, making the power of his martial techniques multiply.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was all the effect of those blue patterns.


    Looking at it now, these blue patterns were a good thing and not a bad thing.


    Even though the dragon race''s martial techniques were strong, it was not strong to the degree where it could suppress Xiang Yunfei in all aspects.


    Xiang Yunfei was a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. Even if his realm fell, he was also not what ordinary fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords could compare to.


    His strength was sufficient to sweep across fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords.


    Hence, that was why he would be so confident and also dare to find Boss He for help.


    Now, with these blue patterns, he could completely suppress Xiang Yunfei just by relying on the power of the fleshy body.


    Sure enough, the Voice of the Dragon God previously was not a coincidence.


    Xiang Yunfei only had one thought in his heart right now, that was to run!


    Suddenly, blood light radiated on Xiang Yunfei''s body, his figure suddenly streaking out, flying far away in a blink of an eye.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan laughed coldly, his hands quickly forming a seal!

 1681 Sparing None!

    "Nirvana Seal!"


    Ye Yuan roared. The Nirvana Seal sped like the wind, speeding swiftly towards the Xiang Yunfei in the horizon.


    Under everyone''s eyes, this black huge seal tore straight across the sky and landed on Xiang Yunfei.


    Rumble!


    The Nirvana Seal arrived first despite launching later, striking Xiang Yunfei firmly, directly blasting him into dregs.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan was only Origin Deity Realm, he could also use the Nirvana Seal to kill the second-layered heaven Divine Lord Jing Lu.


    Now that he broke through to Divine Vortex Realm, the power of this move already could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    If Xiang Yunfei did not use that blood escape art, he might still be able to resist a little. But he took the road to ruin by using that move. His condition immediately fell drastically, virtually becoming a living target.


    Ye Yuan had witnessed this move of his before, how could he possibly not guard again his move, and give him the chance to escape?


    Boss He this group of people was long dumbfounded from watching.


    Over a dozen breaths of time, Ye Yuan finished off a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord neatly and tidily!


    This kind of strength simply made people despair.


    "Just what kind of �� monster did Xiang Yunfei that fellow provoke?!"


    Boss He was overwhelmed with terror. He had roamed Riverluck Capital City unhindered for so many years and had never met such a terrifying opponent before.


    His guts could not be said to not be big. To dare act against a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse and even successfully killing the other party.


    To others, he was a nightmare-like existence.


    But today, he finally encountered his nightmare.


    Killing Xiang Yunfei with one move, Ye Yuan looked down from high above, looking at Boss He with his hands behind his back, just like a god of war descending.


    Boss He''s entire body shuddered, not daring to meet Ye Yuan''s gaze at all.


    "Y-Your Excellency, I �� I was wrong! I beg you, don''t kill me!"


    Boss He this kind of person always liked to hide and scheme against people. He was actually very fragile inwardly.


    Ye Yuan''s domineering assault already utterly shattered his confidence, giving him an image of invincibility.


    Hence, he yielded.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and said in a cold voice, "Tianping, do it! Spare no one!"


    He was genuinely enraged. If not for him making use of the electric snake to temper his fleshy body in the realm fog, he would already be a corpse right now.


    This group of guys colluded together with Xiang Yunfei, one look and it was clear that they were not good people.


    Not killing was insufficient to calm his fury.


    His anger currently was not the slightest bit less than Ye Yuan''s.


    But the combat power that Ye Yuan displayed just now also made him secretly tongue-tied.


    Too fierce!


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s fury, how could Boss He still dare to stay? With a loud roar, he turned tail and ran!


    It was just that his strength was even worse than Xiang Yunfei''s. So how could wanting to run be that easy?


    Over ten people scattered and fled in all directions. Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, his figure moving, shuttling through the void and arriving straight amidst the crowd.


    "Roar!"


    A dragon roar reverberated throughout the sky. Those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses who were just about to escape, their figures suddenly stopped.


    Those who were slightly weaker were directly shattered into dust by the Voice of the Dragon God.


    Boss He''s entire body trembled, his eyes full of astonishment.


    Only now did he know how terrifying this roar of Ye Yuan''s was!


    He, his fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouses, was actually unable to control himself under this roar, almost falling down.


    One had to know, even if Ye Yuan''s fleshy body reached the peak of initial-stage fourth transformation, it was still a long way off from fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    With just a roar, it was actually able to make him, this fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, unable to move!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan stopped the Voice of the Dragon God.


    Ning Tianping understood tacitly, long sword brandishing, turning into a stream of flowing light and charged towards Boss He.


    "Puchi!"


    Ning Tianping did not give Boss He the slightest chance, directly killing him.


    The remaining people were all shaken by Ye Yuan until they were dazed and confused, unable to differentiate north, south, east, west, at all.


    Ning Tianping, one person and one sword, reaped wantonly, virtually wiping out the other side in a few breaths.


    After doing this, Ye Yuan was hit with exhaustion, almost unable to stand firmly and dropping down from the sky.


    The great battle just now seemed like the wind scattering away wisps of clouds. Actually, to Ye Yuan, the expenditure was immense too.


    Employing the Voice of the Dragon God twice in a row and using the Universe Dragon Claw, coupled with the horrifying Nirvana Seal, this kind of expenditure was not what ordinary people could support at all.


    After all, he had merely just broken through to Divine Vortex Realm currently too.


    Ning Tianping''s expression changed and he cried out, "Your Excellency, are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "I''m fine, don''t need to care about me. Go and collect all of their storage rings. This set of array formation is indeed very powerful. Boss He definitely can''t set it up. There should be array flags supporting. Having this set of array formation is also a major card up my sleeves."


    Ning Tianping''s eyes lit up and he immediately acted accordingly.


    Sure enough, Ning Tianping found a pile of storage rings on Boss He''s body and found an array flag inside.


    Ye Yuan rested and rehabilitated for a while, his complexion also looked much better.


    He took the array flag and looked, and said with a nod, "That''s it! This array formation is indeed good stuff! No wonder Boss He could kill a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. Caught off-guard, even a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord will be hard-pressed to block this Wind Breaking Arrow too!"


    If not for the Voice of the Dragon God being too tyrannical, their current outcome would also be not much different from that seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    This array formation was obtained by Boss He in a mystic realm in his early years. At that time, it was already regarded as a precious treasure.


    Sure enough, in these ten thousand years, he could be said to have slaughtered everything in his path by relying on this array formation.


    Furthermore, he was low-profile and rarely revealed his real body in front of people; very mysterious.


    Therefore, even though his strength was not strong, other people''s faces changed when they heard about him.


    Seeing the array flag and Wind Breaking Arrows, Ning Tianping felt lingering fear too.


    This thing was indeed too dangerous.


    Moreover, Boss He was clearly already familiar with this move. The timing was grasped beautifully, not giving them any chance to react at all.


    Fortunately, His Excellency reacted extremely fast, shattering the Wind Breaking Arrows with a roar. Otherwise, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    "Your Excellency, you''re really too extraordinarily brave today! That Boss He was dumbfounded from watching and didn''t react for a long time. I even thought that breaking through to become a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, I can be Your Excellency''s guard for a period of time. I didn''t expect that I''m already going to hold you back," Ning Tianping said with a bitter smile.


    Ning Tianping''s astonishment in his heart was not the slightest bit less than Boss He''s.


    After Ye Yuan broke through, it was also his first time truly seeing Ye Yuan take action.


    This was true-blue raw power, without the slightest trickery.


    Xiang Yunfei''s strength naturally need not be said.


    But under Ye Yuan''s hands, he actually did not even have the strength to retaliate!


    His Excellency was indeed still as freakish as before!


    When at Origin Deity Realm, he could already annihilate a second-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    After breaking through, Ning Tianping did not doubt in the slightest that Ye Yuan was able to defeat third-layered heaven Divine Lords. But he never dreamed that Ye Yuan was actually able to directly annihilate fourth-layered heaven Divine Lords!


    One had to know, the gap between Origin Deity Realm and first-layered heaven Divine Lord was far from the disparity between first-layered heaven Divine Lord and fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    Ye Yuan patted Ning Tianping''s shoulder and said with a smile, "I had some fortuitous encounters at the Heavenspan Mountain, so my strength increased significantly. Alright, let''s go back to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!"

 1682 Angrily Condemning the Ning Familys Elders

    The Ning Family at the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    These several decades, the Ning Family''s pressure was very great.


    The Ning Family''s number one genius, Ning Tianping, actually disappeared into thin air. This was too great a loss to the Ning Family.


    However, the Ning Family''s people were not fools. Ye Yuan had just left and Ning Tianping disappeared, ten to one that he followed Ye Yuan and left.


    It was just that, Ye Yuan said that he wanted to go out and venture, finding the opportunity to break through. Nobody knew when this opportunity would appear, or what kind of dangers he would encounter outside?


    The uncertainty was too great!


    One had to know, when geniuses trained alone outside, the chances of dying were too high.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there were quite a number of genius disciples who died outside each year.


    Some of them were even Divine Lord Realm protectors, even deacons.


    If Ning Tianping and Ye Yuan died outside, that was simply a devastating blow to the Ning Family.


    A genius like Ning Tianping could not be groomed randomly.


    The Ning Family''s upper echelons already hated Ye Yuan to the core long ago.


    It was fine that he left. But he actually abducted the Ning Family''s, even the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s, most prodigious junior away!


    Over the years, Ning Zhiyuan seldom stayed in seclusion, devoting considerable effort into the grooming of young disciples.


    Ning Tianping and Ye Yuan going out, Ning Zhiyuan was equivalent to being a cripple, unable to help at all.


    Honestly speaking, Ning Zhiyuan was really not optimistic that Ning Tianping could return alive.


    Even though the matter had already passed for several decades, the moment Ning Zhiyuan thought of Ning Tianping, he still felt very dejected.


    On this day, someone from below suddenly came in to report that Ning Tianping came back!


    Ning Zhiyuan''s entire body trembled, suddenly getting up, figure directly disappearing from where he was.


    Inside the Ning Family''s main hall, quite a number of elders had astonished faces, looking at that young man currently in the main hall.


    In a short few decades'' time, Ning Tianping''s realm actually broke through once more, directly becoming a middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouse!


    This kind of cultivation speed could be rated as terrifying.


    "Could it be that this kid had some lucky encounter outside again?"


    "Is it possible that he went out himself to train? Disappearing with that good-for-nothing was merely a coincidence?"


    "There''s really the possibility! Going out with an Origin Deity Realm trash, what lucky chance can there be? Not being dragged to death is already pretty good."


    ...


    The clan elders discussed in low voices, directly separating Ning Tianping and Ye Yuan.


    Earth-shaking when being at the Origin Deity Realm before. But such a genius actually could not even break through to the Divine Lord Realm.


    Ning Tianping''s brows furrowed. He was just about to fly off the handle when a figure arrived with a howl. It was precisely Ning Zhiyuan!


    Ning Zhiyuan originally came ablaze with anger. But seeing that Ning Tianping actually broke through his realm, the anger on his face immediately dissipated considerably.


    Ning Tianping also endured his anger and bowed to Ning Zhiyuan and said, "Tianping pays respect to Family Head!"


    Even though Ning Zhiyuan already forgave Ning Tianping, in order to demonstrate the prestige of the family head, he still snorted coldly and said, "Humph! Leaving without saying goodbye, do you still have any respect for me, this family head, in your eyes?"


    Actually, before Ning Tianping left, he was somewhat unhappy with Ning Zhiyuan.


    The matter during the elders meeting, what Ning Zhiyuan did was unvirtuous.


    But in all fairness, Ning Zhiyuan''s grooming of him was without sparing any effort. He really did not have much to say, so he used this method of leaving without saying goodbye. It was also considered declaring his dissatisfaction.


    Regarding Ning Zhiyuan''s wrath, Ning Tianping accepted it calmly and said respectfully, "Tianping dares not!"


    Ning Zhiyuan snorted coldly again and said, "Already done it, what''s there that you dare not? But forget it, I previously even thought that you left with Ye Yuan that good-for-nothing, so I was very worried. Looking at it now, you had another fortuitous encounter! To be able to break through to the middle-stage Divine Lord Realm within several decades, you''re also considered to have rendered merit for the Ning Family. Count it as making amendments for your wrongdoing in view of your accomplishments then!"


    Ning Tianping could still accept it with an open mind at the beginning. But upon hearing Ning Zhiyuan call Ye Yuan a good-for-nothing, he immediately exploded.


    He suddenly stood up, giving the surrounding people a scare.


    "Tianping is extremely respectful toward Family Head in my heart, but the respect toward His Excellency is akin to beholding a great mountain! Family Head, I hope that you take back your words just now! His Excellency isn''t a good-for-nothing. He''s an unparalleled genius! Otherwise, you''ll feel regret for the words you said today!" Ning Tianping''s words sounded very cold.


    Ning Zhiyuan was rendered dumbfounded by Ning Tianping''s attitude. His understanding of Ning Tianping had always been that he was very obedient and sensible, and also very respectful towards him.


    But today, for a Ye Yuan, he fell out with him!


    Ning Zhiyuan''s expression turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "Regret? A good-for-nothing who can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm is also considered an unparalleled genius? Ning Tianping, you''re very good! For the sake of a trash, you actually dare to rebuke me?"


    The moment those clan elders heard, they also flew into a great rage and started condemning Ning Tianping.


    "Tianping, you went out for a trip and your wings became hard huh! To actually dare be so rude to the family head!"


    "Really getting out of hand! Do you think that breaking through to become a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord, you can disregard the family head?"


    "For a good-for-nothing, you actually dared to be insolent to the family head, truly preposterous and should be punished by family laws!"


    ...


    Listening to these people clamor by his ears, Ning Tianping finally erupted.


    He was respectful toward Ning Zhiyuan, but it did not mean that he also respected these people.


    These old things, apart from normally telling people what to do and coming up with lousy ideas, they did not do proper business at all.


    Putting it bluntly, it was a bunch of old fellows who were sitting around doing nothing and waiting to die.


    Ning Tianping said in a great rage, "All of you shut up for me! Good-for-nothing? Can''t break through to the Divine Lord Realm? Talking bullshit here, you guys don''t ask His Excellency for pills in the future if you have the capabilities! Let me tell you guys, His Excellency is already very disappointed toward the Ning Family. Are you fools going to push the Ning Family into an abyss beyond redemption?"


    The moment one of the extremely senior clan elders heard, he immediately exploded, pointing at Ning Tianping and scolding angrily: "L-Little bastard, you dare to speak to us like this? Rebelling! Rebelling! Family Head, you take a look, this little bastard went out for a trip and really became lawless and unbridled! That trash can''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm! Could it be that this old man still needs to go and beg him for pills?"


    However, Ning Zhiyuan ignored him, but looked at Ning Tianping and asked with a suspicious look, "Tianping, what''s the �� meaning of your words?"


    Ning Tianping smiled coldly and said, "What meaning? Not only did His Excellency broke through to the Divine Lord Realm, but his growth in these several decades is also beyond your imaginations! Family Head, Tianping isn''t showing disregard for my elders. It''s really that I feel heartache and headache! If back then, you fervently supported His Excellency back then during the elders meeting, right now absolutely won''t be this kind of situation! Our Ning Family would become Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s number one great clan! But now �� sigh!"


    Ning Zhiyuan''s gaze turned intent and he said in shock, "What did you say? Ye Yuan he �� he really broke through? That''s impossible! Back then, he even consumed the Vastsun Universe Pill, but he didn''t even reach half-step Divine Lord Realm, how can he possibly broke through to the Divine Lord Realm?"


    Ning Tianping gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance and could not resist sighing quietly.


    Ning Zhiyuan was deeply pricked by Ning Tianping''s look as if a thorn pierced into his heart.

 1683 Bullying to the Doorstep

    Ye Yuan entered the city very low-profiled, without drawing anyone''s attention. He came straight to Zheng Qi''s residence.


    "Who is it, halt! Mn? You �� You''re Elder Ye Yuan!" The guard''s gaze turned intent, recognizing Ye Yuan.


    "Oh? You know me?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The guard smiled and said, "Elder Ye must be joking. In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, who doesn''t know you!"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, everyone knows that I''m a good-for-nothing!"


    The guard''s expression changed and he hurriedly said, "Elder Ye, no matter what others say, our Zheng Manor from top to bottom, not a single person dares to be disrespectful toward you, including this lowly one! Head Elder had once said that his life was saved by you. If anybody dares to speak impertinently about you, if minor, they will be chased out of the Zheng Manor. If severe, directly flogged to death!"


    Ye Yuan did not expect that Zheng Qi actually used this kind of method to block everyone''s mouth. But the emphasis on loyalty and friendship could be seen as well.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "How is Head Elder''s body?"


    The guard let out a sigh when he heard that and said, "Sigh, Head Elder''s body is getting worse each day. Head Elder Xuan Yu tried everything. But he is also unable to salvage the situation. Right now, Head Elder is already unable to get out of bed."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly and he said, "What''s going on?"


    Before Ye Yuan left, he specially checked Zheng Qi''s body before. It was not to the extent of not being able to get out of bed so quickly.


    Listening to the guard talk about the sequence of events, the rage in Ye Yuan''s heart started blazing fiercely.


    It turned out that after a Celestial Deity powerhouse of Utmost Peace Imperial City came out of seclusion and got to know the news of Gao Yuan''s demise, he came to visit.


    That Celestial Deity powerhouse came to find trouble with Ye Yuan and Zheng Qi two people.


    Who knew that only after reaching the city did he know that Ye Yuan already left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    A Celestial Deity powerhouse arriving in person, this kind of thing naturally could not be brushed off lightly.


    Utmost Peace Imperial City''s strength was much stronger than Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. They had four Celestial Deity powerhouses, while Heavenly Eagle Imperial City only had two.


    After that Celestial Deity powerhouse came, he asked Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to sentence Ye Yuan to death with a domineering attitude and to hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    Additionally, he even wanted Gao Yuan''s disciple to challenge Zheng Qi, saying that it was to take revenge for his master.


    This situation followed the same pattern as Zheng Qi back then.


    Now, this move was purely nonsensical.


    How could Zheng Qi''s physical condition at that time be able to withstand a great battle?


    However, Zheng Qi argued strongly on his point of view back then, saying that the Fiend Calling Ridge battle, killing Gao Yuan was his doing alone, and had nothing to do with Ye Yuan!


    Moreover, he accepted the challenge.


    And the result of the challenge naturally went without saying.


    Zheng Qi was beaten to serious injuries by Gao Yuan''s pupil. Right now, he was only left with half a life.


    Ye Yuan burned with rage when he heard this. The aura of Divine Vortex Realm unconsciously exuded out as he said in a cold voice, "What take revenge? It''s simply aiming for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, right?!"


    That guard was merely Origin Deity Realm. Suddenly seeing the powerful pressure than Ye Yuan released, it crushed him until his face turned pale.


    The guard was shocked inwardly, only now realizing in shock that Ye Yuan seemed to no longer be at the Origin Deity Realm anymore!


    This aura was absolutely Divine Lord Realm!


    Elder Ye actually really broke through?


    Ye Yuan suddenly realized the guard''s awkward state, restrained the aura on his body, and said coolly, "You go and notify them, just say that I''m back."


    The guard hurriedly said, "Elder Ye must be joking. Head Elder is at the courtyard. Head Elder Xuan Yu and Head Elder Coldfeather are both there, please!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and casually fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to the other party, saying, "Thanks for the hard work, this is for you."


    The guard received the medicinal pill and could not help being wildly ecstatic.


    Void mystic divine pill!


    Elder Ye''s void mystic divine pill was hard to request for. Now, it was actually bestowed on him.


    "Many thanks, Elder Ye!"


    ...


    In a courtyard, Coldfeather and Xuan Yu two people looked at the Zheng Qi lying on the bed, frowning heavily.


    Zheng Qi''s aura was weak. Clearly, he was on the verge of dying.


    But his face did not have too much regret. On the contrary, he seemed very open-minded.


    "Grandmaster, Brother Xuan Yu, you guys don''t have to be like this. Back then, when Master''s great enmity was avenged, my long-cherished wish in this lifetime is also considered fulfilled. Living for these additional few years is already a profit," Zheng Qi gasped for air as he said, seeming very strained.


    Xuan Yu had a look of self-blame as he said, "It''s all this old man who is incapable. If Ye Yuan he can break through to Divine Lord Realm, he can definitely save you! Sigh!"


    Upon mentioning Ye Yuan, Coldfeather flared up with anger and said with a cold snort, "That bunch of fools actually said that Wen Yilin was provoked by Ye Yuan! All of them don''t have the capability but still want to push the responsibility onto others, truly the act of a scoundrel to the extreme."


    Xuan Yu sighed and said, "This bunch of guys has always been like this, unable to take on responsibility at all."


    "Huhu, when Ye Yuan breaks through and returns, I''m very much looking forward to how this bunch of people will look like! It''s too bad that �� I can''t see it!" Zheng Qi sighed and said.


    To talk about his only regret, that was not being able to see Ye Yuan breakthrough.


    Everyone had a score in their hearts, Ye Yuan going out this time probably would not be able to come back within a short time.


    The opportunity to break through was not that easy to find.


    It was just that they never dreamed that Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm, actually dared to go to the Heavenspan Mountain!


    "Who says that you can''t see it? Not only can you see it, but you can also even teach them a lesson one by one!"


    Hearing the voice first before seeing the person!


    This voice, Xuan Yu three people were too familiar. Indeed, looking outside the door, they saw a young man walk in with large strides. Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    "Ye Yuan, you �� you actually came back so quickly?" Xuan Yu said in pleasant surprise.


    But Coldfeather''s expression changed and he said suspiciously, "You �� You broke through?"


    Although Ye Yuan''s aura became much stronger, it gave him a feeling of inscrutability, leaving him somewhat uncertain.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not breaking through, how would I dare come back? The feeling of being scolded trash while having my nose pointed doesn''t feel good!"


    When the three people heard, they all burst into laughter.


    Coldfeather laughed hard and said, "Like I said, how can a mere Divine Lord Realm possibly stump you? That bunch of fools, see what they still have to say this time! I''m really looking forward to their reaction right now!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Let''s make idle talk again later. I''ll take a look at Head Elder Zheng first."


    Zheng Qi was feeble and weak, but seeing that Ye Yuan broke through, he was extremely overjoyed too, his entire person''s state becoming much better.


    Ye Yuan investigated Zheng Qi''s physical condition and his brows could not help furrowing as he said with a cold snort, "What an insidious thing!"


    Ye Yuan detected that inside Zheng Qi''s body, there was a stream of gentle Yin energy constantly whittling away Zheng Qi''s life force, hastening his death.


    Clearly, this was intentional by the other party!


    Xuan Yu sighed and said, "Even though that Yang Fan''s talent doesn''t match up to Younger Brother Zheng, his strength indeed can''t be underestimated. This gentle Yin force, this old man expended a Herculean effort and was also unable to purge it. I can only helplessly watch Younger Brother Zheng suffer away."


    Zheng Qi smiled when he heard that and said, "Brother Xuan Yu doesn''t need to blame yourself. This old man knows that you''ve already done your best."


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, "Brother Zheng''s medicinal pill, originally, I''ve already prepared it. It''s just that I didn''t expect that his situation is actually so serious. You guys wait for a moment, wait for this Ye to go and refine another medicinal pill!"

 1684 Medicinal Pill Unusual Change

    After Ye Yuan left, Coldfeather said with an astonished look, "This �� He should have just broken through not long ago, right? He''s already able to refine such a high level of difficulty medicinal pill?"


    Xuan Yu mused for a moment and said, "The power of Dao Realm is not what the likes of us can surmise. To us, we''re still stuck at the shallow realm of seeing a mountain as a mountain. He has likely already reached the realm of seeing a mountain as not a mountain! What he came into contact with is the source of Alchemy Dao. Learning yields twice the result with half the effort. It is far from what the likes of us can imagine."


    Coldfeather was completely clueless about Alchemy Dao, but he knew Xuan Yu''s strength.


    Xuan Yu saying this showed that Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao boundary was already unimaginable.


    He suddenly thought of something and said to Xuan Yu, "Did you feel that this kid''s realm is somewhat difficult to ascertain? It doesn''t seem as simple as a first-layered heaven Divine Lord!"


    Xuan Yu nodded and said, "Seeing him just now felt like he was completely reborn anew. Moreover, I couldn''t see through his actual situation. It seems like a first-layered heaven Divine Lord, but at the same time it is not!"


    Coldfeather drew a deep breath and said, "I have a feeling that this kid''s accomplishments in the future, we probably can''t imagine it!"


    Xuan Yu nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too.


    After several hours, Ye Yuan came out of seclusion.


    Ye Yuan handed over two medicinal pills, seeming slightly tired as he said, "This is the Pure Yang Strong Divine Pill and Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill. Let Brother Zheng consume it."


    Clearly, these two medicinal pills were not easy for the current him.


    The Pure Yang Strong Divine Pill''s effect was to purge the Yin energy within the body, while the Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill''s effect was to nourish the blood and vitality, recovering one''s energy.


    Zheng Qi used the Crazed Sword Evanescent, the vital essence within his body had long been emptied out already. It was very hard for ordinary medicinal pills to replenish it.


    Hence, that was why Xuan Yu had always been at a loss on what to do. Because he could not refine a high-grade Mystic Longevity Replenishing Essence Pill.


    When Xuan Yu saw the two medicinal pills, his entire body involuntarily shuddered and he said in surprise, "D-Divine-grade! You just broke through and can actually already refine these two medicinal pills to divine-grade. This is truly inconceivable!"


    These two medicinal pills were not simply. It was difficult for Xuan Yu to even refine superior-grade pills. Ye Yuan just broke through to rank four and could actually refine divine-grade already. It was not up to him to not be surprised.


    Right now, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Alchemy Dao''s number one person also officially changed hands!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Xuan Yu, I wasn''t just thinking about how to break through in these close to 400 years'' time! Rank four medicinal pills, I''ve long become thoroughly familiar with them. What was missing was just the level of attainment."


    Xuan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, it''s also sufficiently astonishing!"


    400 years?


    Xuan Yu already immersed in rank four medicinal pills for more than 40 thousand years. Ye Yuan only used 400 years and already completely defeated him.


    This �� was perhaps the disparity between mortals and geniuses, right?


    But Xuan Yu did not have the thought of being jealous of Ye Yuan but felt happy for him instead.


    The current Ye Yuan truly held extraordinary meaning to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already.


    Ye Yuan said, "Brother Coldfeather, Brother Zheng''s body is empty and already can''t refine medicinal pills himself. You go and help him refine the medicinal pills."


    Coldfeather nodded and said, "Alright, I''ll take him there straight away."


    After the two people left, Ye Yuan was just about to go into seclusion to recover his divine essence when someone outside came to report that the Ning Family''s Ning Zhiyuan was requesting an audience.


    The moment Xuan Yu heard, he could not help sneering as he said, "Heh, really materialistic! Back then, when you weren''t able to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, he dropped a rock down the well at the elders meeting. Now, when he heard that you broke through, he''s the first one to come to find you!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just the way the world works! You go and tell him, just say that I''m currently helping Head Elder Zheng Qi refine pills and isn''t free to meet guests."


    The servant did not dare to disobey and could only back down.


    These two were both big shots that could not be offended!


    ...


    Outside the Zheng Manor''s front door, Ning Zhiyuan''s expression was somewhat ugly.


    He was the head of the Ning Family, an eighth-layered heaven Divine lord powerhouses. Now, he was actually turned down at the door!


    "Oh, Tianping, this kid is also a little too arrogant, right? This family head already came to seek an audience in person, he actually isn''t even meeting!" Ning Zhiyuan said with a frown.


    Ning Tianping gave him a glance and said with a sigh, "Family Head, it''s not that I''m lifting His Excellency up. Ever since he stepped into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s gates again, this is already an era that belongs to him! His alchemy strength, I believe that you''re very clear. As long as he''s willing, he can groom a small family clan to become a leviathan like the Ning Family within a few hundred years! Do you think he has the capital to be arrogant or not?"


    Ning Zhiyuan could not help choking when he heard that and was indeed incredibly regretful in his heart.


    He, this family head, was actually not even as far-sighted as a junior.


    The return of Ning Tianping''s investment in Ye Yuan would be unimaginable!


    Ning Zhiyuan already knew that the cultivation method Ning Tianping was currently cultivating was no longer the Ning Family''s cultivation method anymore. It was a peak rank six cultivation method!


    And this lucky chance, Ye Yuan turned his nose up at it, giving it to Ning Tianping with both hands.


    This matter was top secret, Ning Tianping only told Ning Zhiyuan alone.


    What kind of concept was a peak rank six cultivation method?


    That was a cultivation method that could cultivate all the way to peak True God!


    With Ning Tianping''s talent, cultivating to Celestial Deity Realm was simply like playing around.


    Pausing for a bit, Ning Zhiyuan eased up his tone and said to Ning Tianping, "Oh, Tianping, you''re currently the closest person to Ye Yuan. Why don''t �� you help put in a good word for the Ning Family? Let him not hate the Ning Family anymore, alright?"


    Ning Tianping smiled bitterly and said, "Family Head, not that I''m not willing to speak up for the Ning Family. His Excellency this person, you don''t understand. He has his own very firm set of views and clearly distinguishes kindness and hatred! As long as it''s a person that he acknowledges, he can put his life on the line under any circumstances and won''t ever hesitate. But if it''s somebody that he doesn''t acknowledge, even if you wear your tongue out, it''s useless too! If the Ning Family wants to reconcile with His Excellency, Family Head, please show your sincerity. As long as His Excellency is willing to let the past misdeeds become bygones, on the account of my face, he''ll more or less take care of the Ning Family a little. But Family Head, not that I''m exaggerating things to raise an alarm, this is also the last chance!"


    Ning Tianping had followed Ye Yuan for a long time and already knew Ye Yuan very well.


    Wanting to shake Ye Yuan''s judgment of a person, that was impossible, even for him.


    In Ye Yuan''s eyes, he, Ning Tianping, was Ning Tianping. The Ning Family was the Ning Family, these were two different things.


    Ye Yuan absolutely would not show extra care to the Ning Family because of Ning Tianping.


    Hearing Ning Tianping''s words, Ning Zhiyuan was slightly fearful in his heart.


    He suddenly realized that the Ning Family already reached a very crucial fork in the road!


    ...


    No idea how long had passed either, inside the hidden chamber, Coldfeather was currently helping Zheng Qi refine the medicinal pills when suddenly, his expression changed, hurriedly withdrawing his divine essence.


    He looked at Zheng Qi in great shock and muttered, "This medicinal pill �� seems to be somewhat unusual! Zheng Qi, do you feel it?"


    Zheng Qi''s spirit already recovered 50% to 60% at this time. Hearing that, he nodded and said, "Grandmaster, I already feel it! Most likely �� I''m going to break through!"


    Coldfeather''s gaze turned intent and he said in shock, "What? These two medicinal pills are only supposed to help you recover from your injuries, but you''re actually going to break through?"

 1685 Power of Chaos

    "I �� I''m not too sure either, I just feel that I seem to have touched something. Maybe �� I can already break through to become a half-step Celestial Deity."


    As the two medicinal pills gradually melted, there seemed to be some mysterious thing that fused into his body, making him have a feeling of sudden epiphany.


    Zheng Qi had already stopped at the ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm for several thousand years, failing to touch the threshold of Celestial Deity Realm.


    This step was too difficult for ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords!


    Zheng Qi never dreamed that at his most hopeless, Ye Yuan''s two medicinal pills let him touch this threshold.


    Forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, Coldfeather said, "The opportunity can''t be missed! You must go into seclusion properly! Your injuries are already 50%-60% recovered. So you already don''t need my help anymore."


    Zheng Qi nodded his head and continued to close his eyes and refine the medicinal pills, while Coldfeather quietly backed out of the hidden chamber.


    Exiting the hidden chamber, Coldfeather went straight for Ye Yuan. He wanted to figure out just what mystery was in Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills.


    At this time, Ye Yuan and Xuan Yu were currently chatting.


    Xuan Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a bitter smile, "Ning Zhiyuan is at any rate the head of a family. Are you really not going to give him face like this?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Face is earned by one''s self, not given by others. This Ye isn''t someone who is extremely petty, but I also detest people who kick others when they are down. If not looking on the account of Ning Tianping''s face, even if he stood guard at the door for a lifetime, I won''t meet him either."


    Xuan Yu let out a sigh and said, "Among the numerous family clans in the imperial city, actually, the Ning Family received the greatest favor from you back then. I didn''t expect that he did such a thing at the elders meeting. It indeed chills people''s hearts. Forget it, just a Ning Family. With your current strength, even those two upstairs also have to do things according to your mood."


    Just as they were talking, Coldfeather rushed over in a hurry. Upon seeing Ye Yuan, he asked, "Ye Yuan, what mystery is in your medicinal pills? Why is Zheng Qi actually going to breakthrough after refining it?"


    The moment Xuan Yu heard, he looked at Ye Yuan with a face full of shock.


    Those two medicinal pills, he was all too clear. How could it possibly help Zheng Qi breaking through?


    Could it be that �� Coldfeather made a mistake?


    When Xuan Yu and Coldfeather heard that, their entire bodies trembled violently. Divine-grade medicinal pills were already extremely impressive. Coupled with this kind of change, the medicinal pills refined were simply priceless treasures!


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long discovered that ever since breaking through to the Divine Vortex Realm, his divine essence seemed to have some changes.


    It actually produced a sort of mysterious power!


    Regardless of whether it was using martial techniques or refining pills, there would be a very large degree of amplification.


    Even though Ye Yuan broke through to rank four, he did not have world power. But he had this kind of mysterious power.


    Ye Yuan called it �� the power of chaos!


    He could feel that chaos power seemed to be even more profound and mysterious than world power.


    Very clearly, having this chaos power, not only would Ye Yuan''s strength be no weaker than those at the Divine Lord Realm, it would also be a magnitude stronger instead!


    But these things were strictly a secret.


    Hence, for these two people, Ye Yuan could only say that he used special pill refining methods, that was why it would make the medicinal pills produce a mutation.


    Actually, what truly made the medicinal pills produce a change was his chaos divine essence.


    But the chaos divine essence was Ye Yuan''s greatest secret. He could not tell others.


    Even in combat, Ye Yuan would also use the power of chaos to simulate the effect of world power, lest others see through the flaws.


    Ye Yuan discovered that his chaos power was all-encompassing. Just like when he imitated a fiend race powerhouse back then, no one could tell at all.


    This also let Ye Yuan have a guess that his chaos power should be a power that was of a higher level than world power.


    Ye Yuan could feel that this divine essence''s mutation should be due to those mysterious patterns.


    But Ye Yuan''s words were sufficiently astounding already.


    Xuan Yu said in immense shock, "You''re truly an Alchemy Dao''s peerless genius! In my view, even if it''s the Medicine Ancestor, when at your age, it''s also impossible to be more impressive than you!"


    Coldfeather sighed with admiration and said, "You, kid, are simply a freak! I really can''t imagine how in the world you cultivate! Heh heh, back then, when you, kid, couldn''t break through, those guys all dropped rocks down the well. Now, I want to see how they are going to grovel and lick your feet now!"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Isn''t that so! There''s already one groveling outside and already waited for seven days at the Zheng Manor''s front door! I reckon that the news of Ye Yuan returning can''t be hidden for long."


    Coldfeather was stunned and said, "Who is it? To actually get the news so quickly?"


    Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Who else can it be? Of course it''s Ning Zhiyuan that old fox!"


    Mentioning Ning Zhiyuan, Coldfeather''s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Serves him right!"


    ...


    Finally, on the 15th day, Ye Yuan met Ning Zhiyuan.


    This half a month''s time, Ning Tianping had always accompanied him at the gatehouse and did not go and find Ye Yuan.


    Regarding Ning Tianping''s performance, Ye Yuan was still very satisfied.


    This guy was very smart. He knew that speaking up for the Ning Family would only be counterproductive, so he might as well say nothing.


    But him constantly accompanying at the gatehouse also showed the Ning Family''s standpoint.


    Loyalty and staunch but also had a sense of propriety.


    This Ning Tianping, Ye Yuan really could not find any fault.


    "Elder Ning, truly sorry. Head Elder Zheng''s body was deteriorating with each passing day and seriously couldn''t be delayed, resulting in neglecting Elder Ning. I hope that Elder Ning doesn''t blame me!"


    Everyone still had to meet in the future, they still had to put on an act on the surface.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s words sounded very perfunctory. Clearly, it was intentional.


    But this half a month, Ning Tianping revealed to him a corner of Ye Yuan''s iceberg. Ning Zhiyuan also deeply realized that this great god could not be offended.


    Therefore, there was absolutely no way he dared to offend Ye Yuan.


    "True, true, Brother Zheng''s body concerns the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s safety. It should naturally be a top priority. I wonder how Brother Zheng''s situation is now?" Ning Zhiyuan asked without leaving a trace.


    Coldfeather gave a cold snort by the side and said, "No need for you to be concerned! What''s the point of coming? When he was injured, I didn''t see any of you come to see him until today!"


    Ever since that elders meeting, Coldfeather had never shown Ning Zhiyuan a good attitude.


    His seniority was exceedingly high and his strength was also powerful. In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there were really not many who could do anything to him.


    Ning Zhiyuan also had an awkward look having met with a rebuff.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since this Ye broke through, Brother Zheng is naturally fine. Elder Ning can rest assured."


    The few people were currently talking when a figure came in from outside the door. Who could it be if not Zheng Qi?


    The current Zheng Qi had a robust physique and was light on his feet, agile and nimble. How was there still the slightest hint of being heavily injured on the verge of death?


    The moment Ning Zhiyuan saw Zheng Qi, he could not help getting a shock!


    Not only did the other party''s strength fully recover, it actually improved a step further, breaking through to half-step Celestial Deity Realm!


    "Hahaha, Younger Brother Ye, your alchemy strength is truly getting more and more transcendent!" Zheng Qi entered with a big laugh.

 1686 Xuan Yu Resigns

    Ning Zhiyuan''s eyes popped out!


    Was this really that seriously injured Zheng Qi on the verge of death?


    Zheng Qi had been stuck at ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord, this threshold, for God knows how many years already.


    One had to know, the significance of half-step Celestial Deity was completely different from being a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Half-step Celestial Deity Realm meant that it was possible to step into the true Celestial Deity Realm anytime and anywhere.


    Although this chance was not great, what if they suddenly had an epiphany one day?


    The majority of imperial cities'' Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses actually broke through muddleheadedly like that.


    Those who truly relied on their talent to break through were exceedingly rare.


    It was not that there weren''t ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords who broke through to Celestial Deity Realm, but they were far too few!


    So little until it was negligible!


    The vast majority of martial artists stepped over from the threshold of half-step Celestial Deity.


    One medicinal pill of Ye Yuan let him break through the bottleneck that he could not break through for several tens of thousands of years?


    This kind of means was also too inconceivable, right?!


    Seeing the energetic and vigorous Zheng Qi, Ye Yuan also said happily, "Haha, that Brother Zheng in the past who was full of high spirits is finally back again!"


    Zheng Qi laughed loudly and said, "All these are still thanks to you! I really didn''t think that your medicinal pills actually can have such a magical effect! Those ungrateful damn things will probably regret it this time until their intestines turn green, right? If I were to say, ignore all of them in the future! Whoever wants to request for pills, take divine essence stones to come and buy. One medicinal pill, 30 billion, even a single one short won''t do! Eh, Ning Zhiyuan, you''re here too?"


    Zheng Qi had an excited look just now and only saw Ye Yuan in his eyes. Now, suddenly noticing the Ning Zhiyuan who was extremely embarrassed by the side, he could not help being a little surprised.


    Ning Zhiyuan had a look of embarrassment, but he still gave a flattering smile and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zheng for recovering, and strength improving a step further!"


    Zheng Qi rolled his eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Ning Zhiyuan, your nose is sharp enough! Ye Yuan had just come back and you came to find him! The thing that your Ning Family did back then was unfair and shallow!"


    Ning Zhiyuan had made the preparations to throw this old face out. Heaving a sigh, he said, "Yes, this Ning had eyes but couldn''t see. Back then, I shouldn''t have dropped a rock down the well in the elders meeting! This Ning came this time to sincerely apologize to Elder Ye!"


    Ning Zhiyuang had an appearance like the situation was already so bad that to make it worse makes no real difference, but his attitude was very humble as he said, "This Ning knows that saying anything now is too late. It was this Ning who was blind, so I can''t blame others. Fortunately, Tianping this child is loyal and righteous, hiding from the Ning Family''s top to bottom, accompanying Elder Ye through untold dangers. It''s also considered to have slightly made up for the mistake that this Ning made."


    Hearing Ning Zhiyuan''s words, Ye Yuan secretly scolded the sly old fox.


    But this old man could swallow humiliation and bear a heavy burden, it was also considered hard on him.


    Looking on the account of Ning Tianping''s face, he would not really do anything to the Ning Family either.


    Hence, he opened his mouth and said indifferently, "Alright, it''s matter in the past. No need to mention them again. Elder Ning, please return!"


    The moment Ning Zhiyuan heard, he could not help revealing great joy and said with clasped hands, "Elder Ye is indeed magnanimous! Then this Ning will go back first. In the future, as long as there''s use for the Ning Family, Elder Ye feel free to speak up. Oh, right, the Ning Family also collected quite a number of precious rank four spirit medicines these few years. I don''t know if they can enter Elder Ye Yuan''s arcane sights or not. Elder Ye please accept them!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, "Put it down then."


    ...


    Half a month passed, then news of Ye Yuan returning already spread like wildfire.


    But toward this, the vast majority of the people still held disdainful attitudes.


    Ruo Xu led a group of elders and gathered together. Everyone all had contemptuous expressions towards this news.


    "This kid actually still had the face to come back! Reckon that he couldn''t hack it anymore outside, right?"


    "Heh heh, a trash who couldn''t even break through to the Divine Lord Realm! What can he do coming back? Might as well die outside!"


    "I guess that he also felt that he had no face to meet people, so that''s why he blocked off the news, right? But doesn''t he know that there''s a saying called ''there isn''t a wall in the world which hasn''t a crack''?"


    "Hahaha!"


    ...


    Everyone guffawed. In their view, Ye Yuan returning and directly hiding and not meeting people, he definitely had not broken through yet and felt ashamed to meet people.


    Of course, Ye Yuan even consumed a Vastsun Universe Pill back then, but it did not have any effect at all.


    This was already synonymous with trash in everyone''s view.


    Ruo Xu smiled and said, "You guys can''t say it like this either! Ye Yuan''s attainments in rank three divine pills are still unmatched. In this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he still has a place for himself. That is �� making good use of trash!"


    Everyone roared with laughter again, "Hahaha!"


    When Ruo Xu learned of this news, he felt extremely liberated in his heart.


    These few years, even though he was demoted to become the second elder, his influence in the Elder''s Association did not diminish in the slightest.


    One could say that Xuan Yu this head elder was just a symbol built without foundations.


    Xuan Yu did not like fighting and was also unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing.


    Therefore, Ruo Xu also became even more brazen and unscrupulous.


    Rather, the Martial Tower that side, Coldfeather''s control was very domineering, making it very difficult for Ruo Xu''s hand to extend his reach.


    But with the power on the Pill Tower''s side, it was already enough.


    After all, the Martial Tower still had to rely on the Pill Tower. Which Martial Tower elder dared to not give face to the Pill Tower''s elders?


    Right at this time, a subordinate suddenly came to report, saying that Grand Elder He Chong wanted to personally convene an emergency elders meeting to discuss an important matter.


    Everyone''s expressions could not help changing when they heard it. This timing was also too coincidental, right?


    An elder asked, "Second Elder, could it be that this elders meeting �� is related to Ye Yuan? Otherwise, it also wouldn''t be so coincidental, right?"


    "Hey! Don''t scare yourselves! Back then, Ye Yuan was practically chased out of the imperial city. If he really broke through and came back, why would he be so low-key? He would have long come to smack our faces! In my view, he doesn''t have the face to meet people! Grand Elder convening an elders meeting, I think that there should be another important matter. Perhaps Utmost Peace Imperial City is causing problems again," said another elder.


    When everyone heard that, they all nodded their heads.


    One elder said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Speaking of this, I feel angry! If not for Ye Yuan and Zheng Qi, we wouldn''t be so passive right now either! This Ye Yuan is good, ownself taking the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and running!"


    Ruo Xu said, "Alright, don''t simply guess anymore. When we see Grand Elder, we''ll know."


    ...


    In the great hall, He Chong sat at the top position and still had an unfathomable appearance.


    The elders meeting started. He Chong opened his mouth and said indifferently, "Convening everyone today, there''s an important matter to tell you all. Xuan Yu, you say it yourself."


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant, looking at Xuan Yu in surprise, not knowing what medicine was being sold in the gourd.


    Xuan Yu nodded his head and slowly said, "Everyone, this old man''s personality, everyone is also aware. Taking on this position of head elder is truly a little an onerous task. Hence, I requested from City Lord and Grand Elder for me to resign from this position of head elder."


    The moment these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, everyone''s gazes cast toward Ruo Xu one after another!


    Xuan Yu was �� admitting defeat?

 1687 Head Elder, Ye Yuan!

    The moment Xuan Yu retired, only Ruo Xu could become this Head Elder!


    This struggle finally still ended in Ruo Xu''s victory!


    Indeed, Xuan Yu had been the head elder for so many years, but his presence was virtually zero.


    The major and minor matters of the Pill Tower were mostly decided by Ruo Xu.


    Xuan Yu was practically made a figurehead.


    If it was another person, carrying on like this also had no meaning. Might as well resign from the position of head elder to avoid embarrassment.


    Ruo Xu''s face revealed a look of great joy. He had suppressed Xuan Yu for so many years. Suddenly being ridden on top of his head by him, he was naturally rather unhappy.


    Now, he finally brought Xuan Yu down.


    There was virtually little hope of Ruo Xu to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm and become a Five-star Alchemy God.


    And his desire for power had inflated limitlessly.


    Losing the position of head elder was a crowning humiliation to him.


    Today, this disgrace was finally washed away!


    Those Pill Tower elders all looked very excited too. Clearly, they felt happy about the success of their team.


    Of course, under this kind of circumstances, they could not behave too overboard. But they were already ready to go back and congratulate properly.


    "Head Elder, why are you doing this? In our Pill Tower, your strength is the greatest. This position of Head Elder, you''re the most suited!"


    "Yeah, Head Elder, you have to think thrice before acting!"


    "Head Elder, this kind of joke mustn''t be joked, be careful, take caution!"


    ...


    These elders all started urging. It was just that their tones appeared very perfunctory.


    Those present were all extremely experienced people. Who could not tell?


    Coldfeather looked at this scene with a smile, having a disdainful look on his face.


    While Ning Zhiyuan had his head lowered, looking straight down as if it had nothing to do with him.


    Clearly, he already learned to be wise.


    Today''s matter was rather unusual. It was very likely to be related to Ye Yuan. Opening his mouth again, he would be a fool.


    At this time, Ning Zhiyuan was very grateful to Ning Tianping in his heart. If it wasn''t for him, the Ning Family also would not benefit from being in a favorable position. They would definitely capsize again today.


    Doing it again today, that would be offending Ye Yuan to the core.


    Regarding these perfunctory voices to persuade him to stay, Xuan Yu understood in his heart. But he just smiled faintly and said, "Many thanks, everyone. Not being the head elder, this old man is still a member of the Pill Tower and can still contribute to Heavenly Eagle."


    These words sounded nice, but breaking through to become a Five-star Alchemy God, it was easier said than done.


    It was not that to reach the half-step Celestial Deity Realm, you just had to work hard slightly and you would be able to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Take Gao Yuan that guy as an example. Reached half-step Celestial Deity Realm for several tens of thousands of years but he didn''t break through to the Celestial Deity Realm either.


    Following that, everyone feigned another round of persuasion to stay. Xuan Yu said coolly, "Everyone, there''s no need to persuade me. This old man''s mind is made up."


    At this point, the surface work had been done. Everyone naturally no longer try to persuade him.


    He Chong said coolly, "What Ruo Xu said is right. Xuan Yu has already stepped into becoming a half-step Celestial Deity and should go into seclusion properly and strive to break through to become a Five-star Alchemy God. Since his mind is made up, then this matter is decided. Now, I''ll announce the new candidate for head elder."


    Hearing this, Ruo Xu''s face revealed an eager expression.


    Other people''s gazes are also cast on him.


    Ruo Xu was a little excited in his heart. The feeling of being the focus on attention was pretty good.


    In Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the Pill Tower''s position of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had high authority and power. It could be said to be beneath two people and above tens of thousands.


    This kind of power, who could be unmoved?


    He Chong slowly opened his mouth and said, "The position of the Pill Tower''s head elder is of utmost importance to my Heavenly Eagle. Naturally, the person with the greatest strength has to take on the post. This person is ��"


    Speaking until here, He Chong deliberately paused, sweeping a glance over everyone''s faces, finally stopped on Ruo Xu''s face.


    That expression was somewhat complicated.


    However, the current Ruo Xu clearly did not notice it.


    His buttocks already left his seat, preparing to receive the new appointment.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    At this time, He Chong lightly spat these two words out of his mouth.


    Ruo Xu''s smile instantly froze on his face.


    He stood up halfway currently, but in the end, what He Chong spat out of his mouth was not his name.


    This scene was rather awkward.


    Everyone was extremely shocked, being rendered dumbfounded by this name.


    How could the head elder be Ye Yuan?


    How could the head elder possibly be Ye Yuan?


    "G-Grand Elder, is �� is there a mistake?" Ruo Xu said with a look of disbelief.


    Even though he knew that Ye Yuan returned. Even if he broke through, he was also not qualified enough to be the head elder, right?


    He Chong''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Ruo Xu, do you take this old man to be muddle-headed? Such a major matter, would I be mistaken? Brother Zuo, come on out."


    He Chong''s words made everyone''s entire body tremble.


    The city lord actually came in person?


    At this time, the door to the side hall slowly opened. An old man and a young man, two people, walked out.


    The old one was the City Lord Zuo Shujie whose movements and traces were elusive and secretive. The young one was naturally Ye Yuan.


    Even Ning Zhiyuan also trembled all over when he saw City Lord personally send Ye Yuan out.


    This matter of Ye Yuan assuming the post of head elder, he did not know beforehand.


    It was just that he felt that the timing of Xuan Yu''s resignation was too coincidental, so he faintly felt that it was related to Ye Yuan.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually going to replace Xuan Yu and take on the post of head elder!


    Furthermore, it was even City Lord escorting him over personally.


    The shocked ones were naturally not just Ning Zhiyuan alone.


    The others were dumbfounded too!


    The matters in the city, City Lord never took an interest in them.


    If there really was something, it was also He Chong acting in capacity.


    They did not expect that this time, for the sake of Ye Yuan assuming the post, he actually came personally!


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, they were shocked again.


    Ye Yuan really broke through!


    Even though it somewhat could not be seen through, the aura on Ye Yuan''s body was absolutely one in the Divine Lord Realm without a doubt!


    However, letting a guy who just broke through to Divine Lord Realm be the head elder, it was taking it too lightly, right?


    With Zuo Shujie appearing, He Chong took a back seat.


    "Add a chair for Ye Yuan, put in on Xuan Yu''s right-hand side," Zuo Shujie said coolly.


    Under the word of command, someone immediately added a seat to Xuan Yu''s right, letting Ye Yuan sit on it.


    Even though it was just a small gesture, it revealed Zuo Shujie''s regard for Ye Yuan!


    Ruo Xu''s expression flickered incessantly. He could not understand what capability this brat had to actually climb on top of his head!


    Zuo Shujie gave everyone a glance and slowly opened his mouth and said, "I know that many people among you all are puzzled, why Ye Yuan should be the head elder! Actually, Ye Yuan wasn''t willing to be this head elder. It was this city lord who requested repeatedly until he was willing to take the post."

 1688 Thrown Into God Refining Abyss

    "W-What?! C-City Lord personally invited him to take the post?"


    "What a joke! What �� What capability does he have?"


    "Even if he broke through, becoming the head elder is also too forceful, right? I''m not convinced!"


    ...


    When the elders heard Zuo Shujie''s words, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    A brat who just broke through to the Divine Lord Realm actually became the Pill Tower''s head elder. This was also taking things too lightly.


    They all did not understand why City Lord would regard Ye Yuan so highly.


    Ruo Xu was extremely unwilling in his heart. Xuan Yu riding on his head, he was already very upset to begin with.


    Now, it was actually changed to Ye Yuan riding on his head. He could not tolerate it even more.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "City Lord, this �� I''m not convinced! A Divine Lord who just broke through becoming our Heavenly Eagle''s head elder, this is also taking things too lightly!"


    Zuo Shujie gave him a glance and said coolly, "Head Elder this position has always been reigned by the strong. Otherwise, how to convince the masses? Inviting Ye Yuan to be the head elder is naturally because his ability is sufficient to convince the masses!"


    Everyone''s faces could not help changing when they heard that, all revealing disbelieving looks.


    Those present were all Alchemy Dao major powers. They were not characters who were easy to fool.


    Even if a person refined rank three divine pills until it was transcendent, it also did not mean that the person could similarly do so with rank four divine pills.


    Same for those of the Martial Dao, there was similarly a massive gulf between Martial Dao rank three and rank four.


    This gulf needed time to bridge.


    Rank four divine pills, an alchemist needed to integrate world power to be able to form a pill.


    And the technique involved in this absolutely could not be utilized to the highest level in one or two days.


    Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao talent was unparalleled, so no one doubted that he could refine rank four divine pills as impressively as rank three divine pills in the future.


    But, at the very most, Ye Yuan merely broke through in the past several decades. How could he possibly have such profound Alchemy Dao strength?


    Ruo Xu''s expression was very ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "City Lord''s meaning is that Ye Yuan''s current Alchemy Dao strength already surpasses mine? Ruo Xu isn''t convinced! I want to compete with him!"


    Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "No need! Let you see a person, you''ll understand! Zheng Qi!"


    At this time, a figure outside the great hall slowly walked in. It was precisely the Zheng Qi who had already been missing for a long time!


    Seeing Zheng Qi, everyone''s faces changed.


    "Half-step Celestial Deity! Head Elder Zheng he �� he actually broke through?"


    "This �� Could this be Ye Yuan''s work? This is impossible?"


    ...


    When the group of elders saw Zheng Qi, their expressions abruptly changed.


    Forget that injuries fully recovered, he actually even broke through!


    Zheng Qi slowly stepped into the great hall. The past declining trend was swept clean and what replaced it was boundless enthusiasm.


    He clasped his hands at Zuo Shujie and He Chong and said, "Paying respects to City Lord, Grand Elder!"


    Zuo Shujie slowly nodded and said to everyone, "Ye Yuan already completely cured Zuo Shujie''s hidden injuries. Furthermore, he even helped him improve a step further. Ye Yuan''s strength, Xuan Yu also candidly acknowledged his defeat. That''s why he would take the initiative to resign. Do you all �� still have any objections?"


    The group of elders exchanged glances, being dumbstruck by amazement with today''s sudden turn of events.


    Before coming, they were even mocking that Ye Yuan had no face to see people.


    But now, with a sway of his body, he actually became the head elder.


    What shocked them even more was that Ye Yuan just broke through not long and his strength actually bested even Xuan Yu already.


    Such horrifying strength, it was naturally more than enough to be the head elder.


    However �� Ruo Xu was awkward.


    Seeing that no one spoke anymore, Zuo Shujie said coolly, "Actually, Ye Yuan originally already resigned from his post as an elder and wasn''t willing to come out of retirement again. Yesterday, I found Ye Yuan for a long talk before he reluctantly agreed to it. Starting from today, Ye Yuan is the Pill Tower''s head elder, presiding over all matters of the Pill Tower. Xuan Yu is the second elder, Ruo Xu is the third elder, so on and so forth."


    Finished talking, Zuo Shujie said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, the Pill Tower this whole works will be entrusted to you in the future. However, your most important task is still cultivation. After all, you''re my Heavenly Eagle''s future!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "City Lord rest assured, Ye Yuan has a score in my heart."


    Zuo Shujie was not overselling Ye Yuan. He really talked until his jaws ached before convincing Ye Yuan.


    To Ye Yuan, the reason why he returned to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was primarily still because of the 500-year agreement with Li-er they all.


    Ye Yuan still had feelings for Heavenly Eagle. At least, in this place, there were quite a few of his fetters.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan also understood that making an exception to promote him to become a Pill Tower elder back then was naturally Zuo Shujie''s intention too.


    If this were not the case, he might still have to wait until God knows when to find Qin Xiao to take revenge back then.


    In the end, he owed Zuo Shujie a favor.


    Hence, that was why he agreed to take on the post of head elder.


    Ye Yuan naturally understood that this position of head elder was not easy to be. But he did not mind either.


    Ruo Xu could bully Xuan Yu, but wanting to bully him, Ye Yuan, he was still a bit too tender.


    Moreover, in front of absolute strength, any tactic was utterly useless!


    In Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan had such confidence.


    Zuo Shujie said coolly, "I can naturally set my mind at ease with you. Alright, this matter is settled like this!"


    Finished talking, Zuo Shujie and He Chong two people left straight away, leaving behind everyone with baffled faces.


    Ruo Xu shot Ye Yuan a glance coldly, gave a cold snort, and turned around, about to leave.


    "Halt! Did I let you go?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ruo Xu suddenly turned around, eyes spewing fire as he said in a cold voice, "Ye Yuan, you don''t be too smug!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ruo Xu and said coolly, "It''s true that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! No wonder back then, Song Qiyang, a disciple, dared to even turn his nose up at me, this elder. Turns out that it was taught well by you, his master! City Lord''s words earlier, could it be that you didn''t hear?"


    Ruo Xu was already beyond furious and roared loudly, "If this old man wants to leave, could it be that you can still stop?"


    Finished talking, his figure moved, directly walking out of the great hall in large strides.


    Right at this time, Coldfeather and Zheng Qi got up at the same time, one left and one right, stopping Ruo Xu.


    The power of half-step Celestial Deity emitted off the two people''s bodies. Ruo Xu''s expression finally changed.


    He suddenly realized that these two great half-step celestial deities were both Ye Yuan''s close buddies.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Brother Coldfeather, you''re the Martial Hall''s head elder. Defying one''s superior and affronting the prestige of the head elder, what should be the punishment?"


    Coldfeather broke into a smile and said, "Apart from City Lord and Grand Elder, the head elders'' authority is paramount and isn''t permitted to be affronted. If there are offenders, throw into the Martial Tower''s God Refining Abyss!"


    The God Refining Abyss was a separate space inside the Martial Tower, a place used specifically to punish prisoners.


    That Qin Xiao was currently imprisoned in the God Refining Abyss.


    Ruo Xu''s expression changed when he heard that and glared at Ye Yuan as he said, "Ye Yuan, you dare?!"


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard it and said, "Why wouldn''t I not dare? Today is this elder''s first day taking office and you gave me an opening gambit. If I let you go out like this, how will I still be a head elder? Brother Coldfeather, Brother Zheng, take him down and throw him into the God Refining Abyss for three months, so as to punish him!"

 1689 Ning Family Requesting for Pill

    "Ye Yuan, just you wait! Don''t think that you can do whatever you please after becoming the head elder!"


    Ruo Xu''s voice got further and further. Then, the entire great hall was silent, quietly until even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard too.


    In these several tens of thousands of years, no one had ever dared to throw Ruo Xu into the God Refining Abyss before. Ye Yuan actually did so!


    Who was Ruo Xu?


    He was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s person-in-charge in these few tens of thousands of years.


    Even the former Head Elder Zheng Qi also did not dare to offend him too much.


    In reality, even though Zheng Qi had many discontentments with Ruo Xu in the past, it was basically all swallowing the knocked-out teeth into his stomach.


    After all, the Martial Tower had many areas where they needed to request the Pill Tower.


    Even if Xuan Yu became the head elder, this kind of situation still did not change in the slightest.


    Coldfeather was unhappy with Ruo Xu, but he did not dare to really do anything to him as well.


    But today, this move of Ye Yuan''s was too ruthless!


    Staying three months in the God Refining Abyss, the time was not long, but this punishment was awful.


    More importantly, to Ruo Xu, this kind of high and mighty important person, it was simply unprecedented humiliation.


    How would he still show his face to people after coming out?


    The group of elders all used extremely stunned gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    Everyone said that new officials would make drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge, but this change was also done a little too aggressively, right?


    One had to know, Ruo Xu''s prestige in Heavenly Eagle was extremely high. His forces were even deeply entangled and difficult to deal with. Wanting to use one God Refining Abyss trip to uproot his forces, this was impossible.


    The elders on Ruo Xu''s side all used gloating expressions to look at Ye Yuan.


    This newly-appointed head elder was still too inexperienced, thinking that it could bring down Ruo Xu?


    But Ye Yuan did not have this awareness. Sitting on the seat of honor, he swept a glance over everyone and opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, "In the future, if somebody dares to defy their superiors, the crime will be the same as Ruo Xu''s! Additionally, this elder has just taken office, I naturally have to give everyone some benefits. Starting from today, within three months, all elders can rely on their contribution points to find me to refine medicinal pills! You all can also refine pills for your juniors!"


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, he discovered that these elders'' reactions were all very indifferent. No one actually took the initiative to come find him to refine pills.


    But regarding this kind of situation, Ye Yuan had long expected it.


    It was still unknown who would gain supremacy, how could they dare to easily choose teams?


    At this time, the Ning Zhiyuan who had been silent all along suddenly stood up and said to Ye Yuan with an excited look: "Head Elder, I wonder if �� you can refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill?"


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance rather surprisedly, not expecting that the one who stepped forward at this time was actually him.


    One had to know, stepping forward at this time was equivalent to utterly falling out with Ruo Xu.


    But, thinking about it, Ye Yuan also felt relieved.


    Compared to falling out with Ruo Xu, Ning Zhiyuan clearly valued the increase of his own strength more.


    Reaching Ning Zhiyuan''s current realm, the medicinal pills capable of letting him improve were not many anymore.


    And this Tenghai Space Splitting Pill was precisely one of them.


    Reaching the Divine Lord Realm, the increase in strength was not just how much divine essence amassed anymore. What they regarded more highly was developing the inner world.


    Ning Zhiyuan had stopped at the eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm for many years already, failing to break through to become a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord for a long time.


    He had also found Ruo Xu to refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill before. But Ruo Xu refined a few times and it all failed.


    This was a level seven difficulty medicinal pill. Even for Xuan Yu and Ruo Xu, the success rate of refining was extremely low too.


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance and said coolly, "You gather the spirit medicines and come find me tomorrow. Alright, all disperse."


    Ning Zhiyuan was scheming and calculating and rarely got excited.


    But now, his face actually appeared somewhat flushed became of agitation.


    "Heh, Elder Ning, you really believe that he can refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill? At that time, if he can''t refine it, your Ning Family will have a good show to watch!"


    "Yeah, Elder Ning, you were also too reckless this time!"


    "Elder Ning, I''m somewhat pitying you right now!"


    ...


    These elders all came in front of Ning Zhiyuan, expressing their sympathy and gloating over his misfortune.


    They totally did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill.


    In fact, they did not even believe that Ye Yuan could cure Zheng Qi.


    The vast majority of them were guessing if Ye Yuan obtained some essence replenishing and vitality nourishing supreme treasure while traveling outside, that''s how it brought Zheng Qi back to life, even breaking through the shackles.


    To say that Ye Yuan refined such a high difficulty medicinal pill, they really did not believe.


    Toward this, Ning Zhiyuan just smiled did not say much.


    With Ning Tianping around, his understanding of Ye Yuan was naturally not what these fools could compare to.


    ...


    On the second day, Ning Zhiyuan indeed came to find Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan saw that he was somewhat hesitating and said coolly, "Just say whatever you want to say, I don''t like to beat around the bush."


    Ning Zhiyuan was slightly embarrassed as he said, "Head Elder, it''s like this, there are some people in our clan who heard that head elder can personally refine pills, and all want to request pills from you. Wonder if ��"


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Zhiyuan a glance. The other party could not help feeling somewhat guilty, as if being seen through by Ye Yuan.


    The Ning Family''s clansmen would request pills from him?


    This was probably Ning Zhiyuan deciding all on his own, right?!


    He wanted to increase the family clan''s strength and was also afraid of offending Ye Yuan, that was why he said it like this.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since I personally promised, I naturally won''t go back on my words. You leave behind all the spirit medicines, the contribution points will be deducted from you. Five days later, come over to fetch the pills."


    The moment Ning Zhiyuan heard, he could not help being overjoyed and said, "Many thanks, Head Elder!"


    After Ning Zhiyuan left, Ning Tianping revealed his figure and thanked Ye Yuan with a bow, "Many thanks, Your Excellency, for not taking prior transgressions to heart, and refining pills for the Ning Family''s members."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This family head of yours helped me out a lot this time. Otherwise, this deadlock would really be hard to clear."


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "That''s Your Excellency''s charity to the Ning Family. With this chance placed in front of him, the family head naturally values the Ning Family''s future more. Family Head has already been stuck being an eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord for tens of thousands of years and has always been unable to break through. Once this opportunity is missed, it will be hard for him to want to break through! With his shrewdness, how could he possibly let go?"


    Ye Yuan sized Ning Tianping up and said with a nod, "Your cultivation recently, the rate of progress is pretty good!"


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "Is Your Excellency praising yourself? This is all thanks to Your Excellency''s medicinal pills! After Your Excellency broke through to become a Four-star Alchemy God, the medicinal pills refined are even more miraculous. My cultivation simply advances by leaps and bounds! At this speed, I can probably assault the fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm in less than 50 years!"


    These few days, Ye Yuan refined quite a few medicinal pills for Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping ate those ordinary rank four divine pills like swallowing miracle elixirs, strength improving by leaps and bounds. Now, he already became a middle-stage fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    This cultivation speed could be rated as horrifying in Divine Lord Realm.


    Very soon, a month''s time passed, the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City stirred up overnight.

 1690 Stirring up the Entire City

    A Ning Family''s clan elder who was a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord, Ning Canghai, broke through to become a seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    Another Ning Family''s clan elder who was a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, Ning Zhongkai, also broke through, becoming a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    ...


    The Ning Family''s patriarch, Ning Zhiyuan, finally broke through his bottleneck, becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    News after another stirred up the entire city, sweeping across the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City like the wind.


    It was as if overnight, the entire Ning Family ascended!


    Those Ning Family clan elders sitting around waiting to die, without any hopes of breaking through, actually all broke through!


    This news was too shocking.


    Of course, the most shocking one was still Ning Zhiyuan''s breakthrough!


    What did a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord mean?


    It meant standing at the summit of the imperial city!


    Apart from Celestial Deity powerhouses, ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were the strongest!


    Furthermore, after becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord, it also meant that Ning Zhiyuan had the chance to touch that fleeting and ephemeral Celestial Deity Realm.


    No matter whether it was successful or not, at least he had this qualification.


    In the city, how many could have such qualifications?


    "Hey, this news wouldn''t be fake, right? Those few old fellows were already approaching their hour of death, they actually broke through?"


    "How can this be fake? Those few old things are beside themselves with joy, wishing for the entire city to know that they broke through!"


    "This �� This is also too coincidental, right? It couldn''t be that �� the Ning Family collectively gained enlightenment, right?"


    "Enlightenment my *ss! Are you dumb?! Head Elder Ye Yuan promised at the elders meeting that all of the elders can find him to refine pills, but nobody took him seriously. Only Ning Zhiyuan alone requested him to refine pills! In the end, the Ning Family''s members all ascended overnight!"


    "Is this �� real or fake? Didn''t Head Elder Ye Yuan just break through not long ago? His alchemy skills already reached such a terrifying degree?"


    ...


    The powerhouses in the imperial city were all discussing this matter.


    To Divine Lord Realm martial artists, what else could be more attractive than breaking through?


    Hence, within the major family clans, they were all thrown into utter disarray.


    Especially among those elders'' families, it became a total mess.


    Those clan elders were all blaming the patriarchs. Why didn''t they go and request pills from Head Elder Ye Yuan?!


    At the Shi Family''s residence, several old fellows were pointing at Shi Feng''s nose and scolding him.


    The Shi Family and Ning Family had also been secretly competing all along.


    Shi Feng and Ruo Xu walked very close, so they had always been suppressing the Ning Family.


    In this matter, Shi Feng chose to stand on Ruo Xu''s side without any hesitation.


    That day, Ning Zhiyuan''s very cautious appearance, Shi Feng was still very disdainful when he saw it, even somewhat looking down on Ning Zhiyuan''s groveling.


    In his presence, he did not have qualms reproving Ning Zhiyuan behind his back.


    But who knew that only a month''s time passed, and then Ning Zhiyuan actually directly broke through, becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse.


    Shi Feng was utterly stunned by this news!


    But he had not come back to his senses yet and a bunch of clan elders blocked him in tightly, all pointing at his nose and scolding.


    "Shi Feng, how are you serving as the family head?"


    "Shi Feng, you''re also too much! Head Elder Ye Yuan was personally invited by City Lord, but you actually didn''t give him face!"


    "It''s great now, right? The Ning Family members'' noses are all facing the sky! You look at us! Take a look at us!"


    ...


    These clan elders were all very elderly figures. Many of them were Shi Feng''s elders. Scolding him was not weird at all, not giving him any face at all.


    Shi Feng was scolded until his face turned green, but he could not do anything at all.


    These old fellows did not have other capabilities and only knew how to say this and that all day long.


    "Alright, alright, hold your horses. Elders, aren''t I thinking of ways to remedy it here?"


    Shi Feng brushed it off for quite a while, finally throwing these old fellows off.


    But he felt his head aching too. Right now, the development of the situation in the city far exceeded his imagination.


    This move was truly earth-shattering!


    One could imagine that right now, the threshold of Head Elder Ye Yuan''s manor was already being trampled flat.


    Shi Feng finally understood why Ye Yuan dared to directly throw Ruo Xu into the God Refining Abyss.


    He based it on absolute confidence in his own strength!


    Without genuine ability, don''t go and do what you can''t accomplish.


    Ye Yuan and Xuan Yu walked very closely, so it was impossible to not know how great Ruo Xu''s force in Heavenly Eagle was.


    But he still dared to take over this position of head elder. This showed that he definitely had some reliance.


    What Ye Yuan needed was merely a breakthrough point.


    Very luckily, the Ning Family became this breakthrough point!


    Shi Feng suddenly discovered that he reacted too late after it happened.


    Thinking these through now was already too late.


    One misstep, and then every step was wrong!


    The time limit given by Ye Yuan was only three months. Now, a month had already passed.


    The next two months'' time, there would be countless families racking their heads, wanting to fight for this spot.


    The time was too short!


    It was impossible for Ye Yuan to put all of his energy on one family like the Ning Family.


    Currently, the initiative was already completely grasped in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Whoever he wanted to refine pills for, he would refine pills for!


    Whoever was an eyesore, he could completely cast you aside.


    Shi Feng heaved a sigh, slowly stood up, and walked over towards Ye Manor.


    Sure enough, the guardhouse of Ye Manor was already packed full of people. It could already open up a teahouse.


    Except, everyone''s faces had worried looks, looking like prisoners awaiting trial.


    Normally, when everyone saw Shi Feng, they would definitely say hello right away.


    But today, not a single person actually cared about him.


    Shi Feng saw an elder he was on good terms with and went up to ask, "Brother Zhao, who is Head Elder meeting?"


    This person was called Zhao Yibin, the Zhao Family''s patriarch.


    When Zhao Yibin lifted his head and saw that it was Shi Feng, he could not refrain from complaining. He said, "Who else can it be? Isn''t it all the Ning Family, that bunch of bastards? Humph! Look how smug they are!"


    The moment he said this, the others immediately exploded.


    "Zhao Yibin, if you want to offend Head Elder, don''t cause trouble for us!"


    "Yeah! The Ning Family is the favorite of Head Elder currently. What''s wrong with being a little smug?"


    "Aren''t you just feeling unfair in your heart to see Ning Canghai''s cultivation catch up to yours?"


    ...


    One person, one mouthful of spittle, they could directly drown Zhao Yibin to death.


    Yet, Zhao Yibin did not dare to lose his temper, immediately realizing his loss of composure and apologized to everyone, "Everybody, calm your anger! Everyone calm your anger! It was all this Zhao''s fault!"


    Only after a bout of apologizing did everyone''s wrath subside.


    When Shi Feng saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded.


    Everyone''s nerves were already sensitive to such an extent?


    Who knew that Zhao Yibin shot Shi Feng a fierce glare and stopped talking.


    Shi Feng was speechless. Only now did he know what kind of shock the Ning Family''s collective breakthrough brought to everyone.


    Now, everyone was afraid of offending Ye Yuan by saying a word!


    Right at this time, Ning Zhiyuan brought a group of old fellows and came out of the Ye Manor hastily.


    The moment Ning Zhiyuan saw Shi Feng, he laughed smugly and said, "Shi Feng, what did you all say to me that day? Grovel and wagging my tail? Now, even if you grovel in the dirt and wag your tail, Head Elder might not give you this chance either! Hahaha!"

 1691 Heavenly Eagle Change Heavens

    Shi Feng''s face immediately turned black like the bottom of a wok!


    But he could not refute it.


    Did he want to grovel and wag his tail?


    Of course he wanted to!


    Too freaking wanted to!


    Who could refuse the allure of achieving a breakthrough, becoming a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord?


    If Ye Yuan gave him a chance to grovel and wag his tail right now, he definitely would!


    But the problem was, would Ye Yuan give it?


    Ning Zhiyuan''s body faintly exuded a powerful aura.


    That was the aura belonging to a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord!


    He, Shi Feng, yearned for such strength so much!


    Looking behind him again, that bunch of old fellows were in high and vigorous spirits. How was there any hint of being old and ailing like a candle in the wind?


    Especially Ning Canghai, breaking through to become seventh-layered heaven Divine Lord in one stroke, he would have the qualifications to enter the Elders Association!


    The Ning Family would occupy another spot in the Elders Association!


    This significance was huge.


    "Heh, Family Head is really wise! This time, our Ning Family thoroughly overshadowed the Shi Family!"


    "In the future, our Ning Family will do Head Elder Ye Yuan''s bidding without a word!"


    "Oh, you guys, better hurry up and think of ways on how to let Head Elder Ye Yuan cool down! Haha ��"


    The Ning Family''s clan elders were all extremely pleased with themselves. That appearance was like villains intoxicated with success.


    However, they had this qualification.


    Because they knew that in the future, no family could surpass the Ning Family anymore.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be indifferent to the other families, but he absolutely would not treat the other families like the Ning Family.


    This was the difference in the degree of intimacy.


    Ning Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Shi Feng, don''t blame me for not warning you. It''s best that you rack your brain and think of how to cut off relations with Ruo Xu. This is your only hope. Hahaha ��"


    Finished talking, Ning Zhiyuan brought the group of elders and swaggered away.


    Shi Feng''s brows furrowed and could not help musing.


    Not just Shi Feng, the others similarly fell into deep thought.


    There were some hints in Ning Zhiyuan''s words!


    ...


    Three months passed in a blink. During these three months, Ruo Xu suffered the pain of having his mind withered away. Even his entire person withered considerably.


    Leaving the God Refining Abyss, Ruo Xu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Ye Yuan, do you really think that you do whatever you want when you become the head elder? This old man will let you know what''s called too high to touch!"


    Ruo Xu did not even return home and went to the Shi Family straight away.


    The person that the Shi Family sent out was Shi Song. Seeing Ruo Xu, Shi Song clasped his hands and said, "Shi Song has seen Third Elder."


    Ruo Xu''s face fell, and he said unhappily, "Shi Song, what did you call me?"


    From being the head elder to the second elder, and then from the second elder to the third elder, this was the greatest pain in Ruo Xu''s heart, and also the greatest shame.


    This Shi Song actually rubbed his nose in it!


    However, Shi Song said very calmly, "Third Elder, this was personally dictated by City Lord! This �� Shi Song is just a nobody, Third Elder you''ve already stayed in the God Refining Abyss for three months. Please don''t make things difficult for Shi Song."


    Ruo Xu''s face turned black. Shi Song''s words rendered him speechless.


    Yes, Ye Yuan had just set the rules, so who would slam into the spearhead? Wasn''t this looking for abuse?


    Ruo Xu said unhappily, "We''re in private, so what are you scared of?! Can he, Ye Yuan, really cover the sky with one hand? This old man coming out this time, I''ll definitely play him to death!"


    Shi Song sneered in his heart but said indifferently on the surface, "Third Elder, there are no walls in the world without a crack. Shi Song is just an unimportant character. Third Elder, don''t make things difficult for me anymore."


    Ruo Xu was in an irritable mood and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! Where''s Shi Feng? Call him out to see me!"


    Shi Song said, "Third Elder really came untimely. Patriarch he recently had some accidental gains and just entered seclusion a few days back. He likely won''t come out any time soon."


    The moment Ruo Xu heard, he said in a great rage, "What? At this juncture, he actually went into closed-seclusion! Could it be that he wants to see Ye Yuan shit and piss on the Shi Family''s head? This bloody bastard!"


    Ruo Xu had an enraged appearance from disappointment. Clearly, he was very angry.


    Not going into a retreat earlier or later, he just had to enter closed-seclusion at this juncture where Ruo Xu came out of the God Refining Abyss.


    If it were before, Shi Song naturally would not have any problem with it.


    But now, he was very unhappy in his heart.


    Did this Ruo Xu really take the Shi Family to be a dog of his?


    Shi Song said, "This is also something that can''t be helped. If Third Elder has something, please come again another day."


    The expression on Ruo Xu''s face was very ugly, giving Shi Song a fierce glare. He then left.


    After Ruo Xu left, Shi Feng''s figure slowly came out. Shi Song said with an angry look: "Patriarch, this old fogey really takes our Shi Family to be a dog raised by him! Does he think that the current Heavenly Eagle is still the Heavenly Eagle three months ago? If I were to say, we might as well directly lose all decorum with him."


    Shi Feng said coolly, "Do you think that by losing all decorum, Head Elder will be able to accept us? Our muddy waters are too deep! Sigh �� right now, our Shi Family can only tuck our tails between our legs and behave. We can''t provoke anyone. A single misstep and it''s eternal damnation!"


    Shi Song''s expression changed and he said in surprise, "Patriarch, it wouldn''t be so serious, right?"


    Shi Feng gave him a glance and said, "It will be only more serious than you think! Head Elder''s means already surpassed your and my understanding! As long as he''s willing, he can support another family up like the Ning Family at any time! At that time, it wouldn''t be the situation of whatever Shi Family and Ning Family contending for hegemony anymore. The Shi Family''s existence will also become dispensable. Do you think it''s serious or not?"


    Shi Song''s heart shook wildly. He suddenly discovered that the Shi Family was glorious on the surface right now, but actually, it was already in deep crisis.


    Furthermore, what Shi Feng said was not exaggerating things to raise an alarm.


    Within a short two months, there had already been more than 20 middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses who broke through in the city!


    When others were breaking through and you still marched on the spot, then �� you would be eliminated sooner or later.


    Currently, it was not just the Martial Tower''s elders. Even those Pill Tower''s elders could not sit still anymore as well.


    Did the Pill Tower''s elders not need to break through?


    They desired to break through too!


    But they themselves could not refine medicinal pills capable of breaking through at all.


    But the problem was that they could not but Ye Yuan could!


    Will you beg me?


    Do you acknowledge me as the head elder?


    Within three months, the heavens of the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already thoroughly changed.


    After getting rebuffed at the door several times in a row, Ruo Xu finally discovered that something was rather wrong.


    These guys seemed to have discussed it. It was either closed-seclusion or busy. It was as if he became a plague, and everyone was staying away from him.


    When suffering torment in the God Refining Abyss, he already thought of a countermeasure and prepared to come out and go all out.


    But after he came out, Ruo Xu suddenly discovered that he already became a loner.


    A belly full of methods, but he was unable to use a single one.


    Finally, Ruo Xu came to find the disciple that he was proud of, Song Qiyang. Upon asking, he finally understood what happened.


    Ruo Xu''s heart shook wildly. He completely could not imagine that Ye Yuan, who had just broken through, his Alchemy Dao strength was already actually overwhelmingly horrifying!

 1692 Golden Sword Pact!

    At the Ye Manor, a burst of hearty laughter came from inside a hall.


    "Hahaha! Truly refreshing! This old man fought with Ruo Xu that punk for so many years and couldn''t do anything to him. You only used three months, and you cleaned him up properly," Coldfeather said with a big laugh.


    Zheng Qi also smiled and said, "That old punk, I''ve also had enough of him when I was the Martial Tower''s head elder these few years. Now, it feels all better."


    The Martial Tower was under the control of the Pill Tower. This was something that could not be helped. Whoever came could not change this situation either.


    Hence, no matter whether Coldfeather or Zheng Qi became the head elder, the result was all the same.


    Even if their strength was stronger than Ruo Xu.


    Three months'' time passed. Ruo Xu came out of the God Refining Abyss but discovered that everything had changed.


    The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was not receptive to him.


    Even those Pill Tower elders who looked to him for instructions in the past also all dove into Ye Yuan''s camp.


    Using Ruo Xu''s words to say, this was going to lick Ye Yuan''s stinky boots.


    Yet, everyone gladly endured the hardship.


    Coldfeather the three of them simply prostrated in admiration towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was clearly different from them, these martial arts and alchemy fanatics. His means emerged in endless streams.


    Dealt a blow, gave a sweet date.


    Struck another blow, gave another sweet date.


    He did not keep people a thousand miles away and did not bring you in either, just letting you wait at the entrance.


    These elders and deacons obeyed and carried out whatever Ye Yuan said now.


    Ye Yuan said head east, they absolutely did not dare to head west.


    The method of political games, Ye Yuan played it to perfection.


    Coldfeather they all were also dumbfounded with amazement from watching these few days.


    Was this kid really only several hundred years old?


    This was simply an old cunning demon!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Ruo Xu this person''s desire for power is too strong. This kind of people wielding power, the internal friction will be too much. I''m not willing to join in this kind of struggle. But since I promised City Lord, I naturally have to do it well."


    Xuan Yu nodded and said with a smile, "You''ve already done sufficiently well! Right now, the Pill Tower has already gone onto the right track under your management. You handle affairs fairly, show no partiality to either side. Even though the time was short, you already won people''s hearts."


    Ye Yuan being head elder did not appoint people on the basis of favoritism.


    A few days ago, someone was haughty from being conferred favors and was even fiercely punished by Ye Yuan.


    Ever since then, Ye Yuan''s prestige was also truly established.


    The current Heavenly Eagle Imperial City could be said to be strongly united as one.


    Ye Yuan looked at Coldfeather and said, "Brother Coldfeather, so many years have already passed. You still haven''t touched that threshold?"


    Coldfeather smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be that easy? This half step is as hard as ascending to heaven!"


    Although Coldfeather was called an unprecedented prodigy, wanting to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm, it was still somewhat beyond his reach too.


    These few hundred years, even though his realm soared wildly, his foundation was also completely used entirely during these few hundred years.


    The Celestial Deity Realm could not be broken through just based on one''s foundation.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Say that it''s hard, it''s also hard. Say that it''s not difficult, it''s not difficult either!"


    One sentence made Zheng Qi and Coldfeather''s bodies tremble at the same time.


    Ye Yuan''s words had a hidden meaning!


    Xuan Yu who was by the side seemed to have thought of something and said in shock, "Ye Yuan, are you �� are you �� able to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill already?"


    "Supreme Jade Void Pill! This �� Ye Yuan, it isn''t real, right?" Coldfeather''s entire body trembled violently, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    Rank three had the Vastsun Universe Pill, while rank four had the Supreme Jade Void Pill!


    This medicinal pill was naturally used to help martial artists break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Except, like how Three-star Alchemy Gods could not refine a Vastsun Universe Pill, for Four-star Alchemy Gods to want to refine a Supreme Jade Void Pill, it was simply a fool''s talk.


    To Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, no one had ever thought of wanting to go and refine this medicinal pill either.


    Hence, when Xuan Yu said this name, Coldfeather two people palpated with eagerness.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "As for now, it''s still too early. But �� this day shouldn''t be far either."


    After breaking through to the Divine Vortex Realm, the majority of Ye Yuan''s effort was placed on researching Alchemy Dao.


    For him to be able to refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill, such a high difficulty medicinal pill so quickly, this was naturally inseparable from his hard work too.


    Except, rank four divine pills were indeed a massive watershed. The refining difficulty was god knows how many times harder than rank three divine pills.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, wanting to refine level nine difficulty rank four divine pills in a short time, it was still somewhat beyond his power.


    However, although Ye Yuan''s words were spoken out nonchalantly, in the other few people''s ears, it was akin to a bolt out of the blue.


    Xuan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "You brat, U really don''t know what to say about you! This old man studied Alchemy Dao for 100 thousand years, but I haven''t even touched the borders of level eight difficulty. You just broke through for several decades and are already almost able to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill. If this old man''s skin was a little thinner, I''d really hit my head and die!"


    When the few people heard, they all guffawed with laughter.


    Although it was teasing, Ye Yuan''s alchemy talent indeed made them visibly moved.


    "It''s just that �� the few primary medicines that the Supreme Jade Void Pill requires are all extremely hard to come by treasures. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn''t seem to have a complete range, right?" Coldfeather suddenly said.


    A clever housewife could not cook a meal without rice. Even if Ye Yuan had the ability to refine pills, without spirit medicines, he still did not have a way.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You guys set your mind at ease about this. On this trip out, this Ye collected quite a few precious spirit medicines. Disregarding other things, helping the two of you breakthrough is no big problem."


    The moment Coldfeather two people heard, they were wildly elated in their hearts.


    Coldfeather said, "Ye Yuan, if this old man can break through to the Celestial Deity Realm, this old life will be considered sold to you!"


    Zheng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Grandmaster, my life was saved by him in the first place. This grace is hard to repay even with ten thousand deaths."


    The few people were currently talking when a layer of ripple appeared in the space. Two figures slowly walked out. They were City Lord Zuo Shujie and He Chong.


    "Paying respects to City Lord! Paying respects to Grand Elder!" Coldfeather and the rest hurriedly went up to salute.


    Zuo Shujie''s expression was rather ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "All sit down. This city lord has something to tell you all."


    Seeing Zuo Shujie''s appearance, Coldfeather and the rest of their hearts involuntarily thumped.


    Looks like it was not some good thing!


    Zuo Shujie reached his hand out, a small golden sword suspended on his palm.


    "Golden Sword Token! This �� This is Utmost Peace Imperial City''s Golden Sword Token! They''re going to activate the Golden Sword Pact!" Zheng Qi''s expression changed greatly as he said.


    Zuo Shujie nodded and said, "This seat has just received Utmost Peace Imperial City''s Golden Sword Token. They''ve agreed upon to launch the Golden Sword Pact ten years later! Looks like this time, they will not rest until they are dead!"


    Coldfeather few people''s faces instantly became ugly to the extreme.


    "They �� They are bullying others too far!" Coldfeather gritted his teeth and said.


    "Utmost Peace Imperial City, among us low-order imperial cities, their strength is very powerful! Activating the Golden Sword Pact, who can stop them?" Zheng Qi said full of bitterness.


    Zuo Shujie heaved a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, Utmost Peace Imperial City is aiming for you this time! Why not �� you leave Heavenly Eagle first and avoid the limelight for the time being!"

 1693 Who Dictates?

    "They came for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a visible change in countenance, appearing very calm.


    He did not understand what this Golden Sword Pact was. But Utmost Peace Imperial City provoked them time and again. Apart from the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, there was likely no other possibilities.


    Zuo Shujie nodded and said, "They activated the Golden Sword Pact and mentioned that they wanted us to hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! If not for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, Utmost Peace Imperial City also would not go through such great trouble."


    Even under the command of the same heavenly emperor, the relationship between imperial cities was also not very harmonious.


    Imperial cities were different from capital cities. Because of the geographical relationship, imperial cities were extremely far apart. It was also impossible for the imperial capital to be able to control every imperial city.


    Hence, an imperial city of this level was actually relatively independent.


    Therefore, some friction often happened between imperial cities, and it was also very normal.


    Even if there was a valid reason, there was no incident of one imperial city destroying another in a normal situation.


    An imperial city was equivalent to the mortal world''s vassal state.


    And one imperial city making a move against another imperial city needed to issue a Golden Sword Token to the other party!


    The Golden Sword Pact that Utmost Peace Imperial City activated was the first mode of the Golden Sword Token. It was considered relatively gentle.


    This was the direct contention between both sides'' upper echelons. The loser would have to hand over the item that the other party asked for with both hands!


    And the second mode was to directly shatter this golden sword. Then it was an irreconcilable-till-death situation for both sides.


    The two imperial cities would be plunged into war.


    Ye Yuan gained a clear item of this Golden Sword Pact and asked Zuo Shujie, "City Lord, that Utmost Peace Imperial City''s city lord, I don''t know if you''re his match. Are you?"


    Zuo Shujie''s eyes narrowed slightly, extremely shocked in his heart.


    Could the meaning in Ye Yuan''s words be to really have a life-and-death struggle with Utmost Peace Imperial City?


    He shook his head and said, "Ye Yuan, I know that you aren''t willing, but Utmost Peace Imperial City is powerful and is a mid-upper imperial city in strength among our Southridge Ten Cities. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City has no way of competing. As for that Qiao Anshan, even though he''s the same as me, both second-layered heaven Celestial Deities, he �� is already a peak second-layered heaven Celestial Deity. I''m not his match."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then if �� I lend you the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"


    However, he immediately became dejected and continued: "It''s no use. Utmost Peace has four great celestial deities. Even though three of them are first-layered heaven celestial deities, He Chong alone isn''t a match."


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, a small black hill emerged.


    "City Lord, it is not that Ye Yuan is stingy. But this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain is still very useful to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, even giving to you is fine. In these ten years, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain will be under the charge of City Lord. I hope that City Lord uses it to win victory at the unfurling of the flag!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s palm pushed, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain landed in Zuo Shujie''s hand.


    Zuo Shujie''s shock was by no means insignificant. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so generous, to be willing to lend the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain for him to use.


    Before waiting for him to get over his shock, Ye Yuan took out another dark yellow-colored rope.


    Zuo Shujie and He Chong''s gazes turned intent and they cried out, "Immortal Binding Rope!"


    Ye Yuan threw the Immortal Binding Rope to He Chong and said with a smile, "Grand Elder, this Immortal Binding Rope is useless to this Ye, give it to you."


    At this time, He Chong''s entire person was in a daze.


    He had never thought that he would actually own a celestial deity mystic treasure one day!


    This was a celestial deity mystic treasure! Ye Yuan gave it to him just like this?


    "This �� Is this �� really �� given to me?" He Chong still had a look of disbelief until now.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Can this still be fake? Lend me a gallbladder and I also won''t dare to crack jokes with Grand Elder."


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s eyes, He Chong was convinced that he was not joking with him.


    He Chong sucked in a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, "Alright, then I won''t be pretentious anymore! Ye Yuan, if you have any needs in the future, feel free to ask me!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Even if Grand Elder doesn''t say, Ye Yuan has to ask the two of you for help too."


    Zuo Shujie and He Chong exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise from the other party''s eyes.


    Seemed like this Ye Yuan had long had a plan in mind!


    Ye Yuan said, "In these ten years, the two of you please collect more rank four spirit medicines back, the more the better! As for the Golden Sword Pact, the two of you can rest assured. They won''t be cocky soon enough!"


    Zuo Shujie and He Chong suddenly felt that this world already did not belong to them.


    They came to urge Ye Yuan to leave, but now, it was different. Ye Yuan had one word for them: fight!


    Could a first-layered heaven Divine Lord be dictating this struggle between Celestial Deity Realms?


    Thinking about it, the two people felt that it was inconceivable.


    Xuan Yu was rather worried as he said, "Ye Yuan, there are only ten years more. Do you �� have confidence in refining the Supreme Jade Void Pill within ten years?"


    "What? Supreme Jade Void Pill?"


    Although they were Celestial Deity powerhouses, Zuo Shujie and He Chong''s reactions were no different from Coldfeather and the others previously.


    Supreme Jade Void Pill, this term, was too distant from them.


    At this time, the two of them finally understood where Ye Yuan''s confidence lay.


    Ye Yuan said, "I don''t know either, but I will give it my best! All in all, running isn''t a solution. Activating the Golden Sword Token this time, they are clearly coming for us. Even if I really leave, they probably won''t let Heavenly Eagle Imperial City go that easily either."


    Having said this, Ye Yuan''s expression turned cold and he said, "Since they dared to reach their hands out, then they''ll have to be prepared to be bitten!"


    Ye Yuan was naturally not willing to leave. At present, close to 400 years had passed. There was still around 100 years to the 500-year-agreement.


    Leaving at this time, if he missed Li-er and they all, there would be many twists and turns again.


    Ye Yuan had long made a decision in his heart. Since he was not able to avoid it, then just battle!


    He wanted to rely on his own power and let the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City become powerful!


    ...


    At Utmost Peace Imperial City, Qiao Anshan''s gaze swept over the group of powerhouses below and said coolly, "This time, we must obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! If Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s people are impervious to reason, then kill without mercy!"


    Wen Yilin said, "This kid called Ye Yuan has escaped several calamities time and again. This time, we absolutely can''t let him get away!"


    Qiao Anshan said, "Relax, this seat has already laid down an all-encompassing net, just waiting for him to escape! Zuo Shujie that coward, after receiving the Golden Sword Token, he''ll definitely let Ye Yuan escape!"


    Wen Yilin gave a thumbs up and praised, "City Lord truly takes every conceivable possibility into account! This punk called Ye Yuan is truly tired of living, to actually dare provoke a lion in its den! Not only did he kill Gao Yuan, he even snatched away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and Immortal Binding Rope. If he doesn''t die, it will be hard for this old man to dispel the hatred in my heart!"


    Qiao Anshan smiled and said, "Relax, he''s dead for sure this time! Also, you get Yang Fan to prepare well. This time �� let him personally avenge Gao Yuan!"

 1694 Jumping Clowns

    Qiao Anshan never dreamed that the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, which only had two Celestial Deity powerhouses, actually dared to have a battle with him!


    After guarding bitterly for ten years, every important communication route of Heavenly Eagle''s yielded nothing, making Qiao Anshan badly depressed.


    One had to know, he paid a considerable price in order to seal off Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    After all, he, a powerhouse from Utmost Peace Imperial City, had no way of completely covering Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    But the final result was pointlessly wasting ten years.


    "City Lord, the day of the Golden Sword Pact is getting closer and closer. Zuo Shujie that guy wouldn''t really want to fight to the bitter end with us, right?" Wen Yilin asked rather anxiously.


    Qiao Anshan had a feeling like his heart was dripping blood. Hearing that, he said in a cold voice, "Since Zuo Shujie himself wants to seek death, then this seat will fulfill his wishes! This time, we''ll wipe out Heavenly Eagle Imperial City while we''re at it, turning it into our puppet!"


    Wen Yilin nodded and said, "This is them courting death, then we can''t be blamed!"


    Between imperial cities, if it was not a last resort, they would not exterminate the other party.


    Killing a thousand of the enemy, losing 800 of your own. Although Qiao Anshan''s strength was strong, if he really wanted to kill Zuo Shujie, he would pay a terrible price too.


    The truly weak ones had long been eradicated.


    Now, those able to survive were clearly all not weaklings.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was just relatively weaker.


    And Zuo Shujie was the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s sea-stabilizing needle.


    But the situation this time was somewhat different. Qiao Anshan finally could not hold back anymore.


    "As long as this seat refines the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, I''ll be able to break through to become a third-layered heaven Celestial Deity! At that time, our Utmost Peace Imperial City will be sufficient to rank in the top three among the Southridge Ten Cities! Therefore, even at the risk of severe injuries, we have to obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain this time too!" Qiao Anshan said in a solemn voice.


    ...


    On this day, the cloud and winds above Heavenly Eagle Imperial City suddenly changed erratically.


    Over a dozen powerhouses stepped over through the air. The commotion created was astonishing!


    The faces of the powerhouses in the city all changed drastically. They knew that the moment of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s life and death had arrived!


    Receiving the Golden Sword Token, it must be announced to the whole city.


    Everyone in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had long known that Utmost Peace Imperial City was going to activate the Golden Sword Pact already.


    "Four great Celestial Deity powerhouses! This �� is finally coming?"


    "Wonder whether or not Heavenly Eagle can make it through the crisis this time!"


    "Fighting two-on-four, this �� I completely can''t see hope!"


    "Sigh! Utmost Peace Imperial City''s action is too fast! If give Head Elder Ye Yuan some more time, perhaps it wouldn''t be today''s situation!"


    ...


    In these ten years, everyone in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City felt the danger.


    But this was also Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s most united ten years.


    The various major families gave up internal friction, putting more effort into cultivation.


    Under the catalyzing of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City gave birth to a large batch of powerhouses.


    Presently, in the city, just the ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were as many as three people.


    Except, ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were completely useless to battles at Celestial Deity level!


    In front of Celestial Deity powerhouses, forget about ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords, even half-step celestial deities were ant-like existences.


    "Zuo Shujie, get out for this seat!"


    A thunderous voice instantly reverberated throughout the entire city.


    Qiao Anshan''s shout, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    He was deliberately demonstrating his strength, awing the powerhouses in the city.


    At this time, two figures arrived high up in the air. They were precisely Zuo Shujie and He Chong.


    Zuo Shujie looked at Qiao Anshan and said coldly, "Qiao Anshan, the hour hasn''t arrived yet. Lord Inspector hasn''t arrived as well. Flaunting your prowess like this, are you really bullying that my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn''t have anyone?"


    Qiao Anshan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Zuo Shujie, the Golden Sword Token has already been issued. We''re naturally avenging grievances if there are, taking revenge if there''s grudge! Lord Inspector hasn''t arrived yet, so let''s settle the previous scores!"


    Zuo Shujie''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, "What trouble do you want to stir up again?"


    At this time, a figure on Utmost Peace''s side stepped out of the ranks and said in an angry voice, "It''s me! The enmity of killing my master is irreconcilable! The last time, City Lord was in closed-seclusion. That''s how you forcefully stopped it! This time, I must take revenge for Master! Hurry up and let that Zheng Qi guy come out to die!"


    This person was none other than precisely Gao Yuan''s disciple, Yang Fan!


    Celestial Deity powerhouse Wen Yilin was Gao Yuan''s master, while Gao Yuan was this Yang Fan''s master.


    Speaking of which, Wen Yilin and Coldfeather were considered people of the same generation.


    This Yang Fan''s talent was clearly limited. Until now, he was merely an eighth-layered heaven Divine Lord, being far worse than Zheng Qi.


    If not for knowing that Zheng Qi''s essence was lost, even by lending Yang Fan a few galls, he also would not dare to come to challenge Zheng Qi.


    However, after Zheng Qi recovered, he rarely showed face. Hence, Utmost Peace Imperial City that side did not know that Zheng Qi had actually long gone up a level already.


    This attitude was struck too dazzlingly!


    At this time, in everyone''s eyes, this Yang Fan was like a jumping clown.


    Clearly, someone who bullied the kind and feared the wicked, yet, still wanted to put on eagerness to take revenge for his master.


    Bluffing who?


    One had to know, back then, when Zheng Qi went to take revenge, he went to Utmost Peace Imperial City all by himself!


    Zuo Shujie did not know it beforehand. When he found out, he rushed to Utmost Peace Imperial City straightaway, only then saving the seriously injured Zuo Shujie who was dying.


    But this Yang Fan?


    That was Wen Yilin leading him over!


    With Wen Yilin around, could it be that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City really dared to do anything to him still?


    Prating on and on about taking revenge, it was truly a bit too fake.


    Putting it bluntly, it was bullying that he was injured!


    The great battle was about to commence, getting a jumping clown to come out made the powerhouses on Heavenly Eagle''s side relax a little.


    Zuo Shujie had the intent to mess with Qiao Anshan. At once, his brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Yang Fan, you''re harassing with unreasonable demands! Last time, Zheng Qi was already beaten to severe injuries by you. What do you want still?"


    Yang Fan sneered and said, "Zheng Qi this guy wanted to harm Master many times! Now, he finally succeeded! Humph, not killing him, I''m not worthy as a man!"


    Zuo Shujie gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeves grandly, and said, "Zheng Qi is currently in closed-seclusion and isn''t convenient to accept the challenge!"


    At this time, Qiao Anshan said with a broad smile, "Zuo Shujie, back then, Zheng Qi came to find Gao Yuan to take revenge, this seat didn''t stop it! What''s with your deal now? Yang Fan and Zheng Qi are of the same generation and can be said to have irreconcilable enmity! This kind of enmity, how can we intervene? If you don''t let him come out, then this seat will take action and destroy his manor first before talking! Even if Lord Inspector came, he wouldn''t say much either!"


    Zuo Shujie felt great in his heart, but he had rage on his face as he said, "Qiao Anshan, you don''t push people too far!"


    Qiao Anshan smiled and said, "Blood debt is paid for by blood, how is this called pushing people too far?"


    Zuo Shujie''s expression changed several times and he shouted to the city below, "Send people! Go and invite Head Elder Zheng Qi here!"


    "Yes, City Lord!" A deacon received the order and left.


    Actually, Zheng Qi was really in closed-seclusion. Even Zuo Shujie did not know his current situation as well.


    His current mood was also in a mess. Success or failure lay in this one fell swoop as well.


    If Zheng Qi was unable to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm, then Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will really perish this time!

 1695 Nowhere to Put Face

    "Invite here? Hahaha! In my view, it should be being carried over!" Yang Fan laughed loudly as he said with a mocking look.


    A wave of loud laughter sounded out at Utmost Peace''s side.


    They all knew that because Zheng Qi used the Crazed Sword Evanescent. He lost too much essence and was already not long for the world.


    Now, he must be in a half-dead state.


    This kind of trash, still need to go and invite him?


    Yang Fan looked even smugger. The feeling of stepping on Zheng Qi''s face was really too awesome.


    He and Gao Yuan could not be said to be very close in the past.


    With Gao Yuan''s personality, how could he possibly sink in the capital on his own disciple without holding anything back?


    However, Yang Fan''s potential being lacking was a fact. He had always been chastised because of this as well.


    As someone in the same generation, Zheng Qi was respected as Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s head elder, but he was just a small elder.


    The disparity between the two was too great.


    Hence, taking revenge for his master was merely a cover. He wanted to borrow this to give vent to the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.


    Yang Fan understood that having him take action as merely in order to find an excuse that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City could not refuse.


    But so what?


    Being stifled for too long, he had got to release it!


    Hence, Yang Fan was like a jumping clown, talking drivel there, his words being very disdainful toward Zheng Qi.


    "Hey, Zheng Qi this cowardly turtle, why haven''t you come out yet? I say, your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City wouldn''t deliberately want to shield him, right? Since he''s already dying, then hurry up and get him out so that this Yang can send him off!"


    Yang Fang talked in high spirits over there but did not detect that a hint of ripple surfaced in space.


    Qiao Anshan and the rest were powerful and had long detected something amiss, faces involuntarily changing slightly.


    At this time, a figure slowly walked out. Qiao Anshan and the rest suddenly changed countenance.


    Yang Fan''s haughty voice suddenly stopped, just like a duck with its throat squeezed, emitting a strange cry.


    "Z-Z-Zheng �� Y-You �� Impossible! I �� My eyesight must be failing!"


    Yang Fang was frightened by the scene in front of him until his entire face turned purple.


    He rubbed his eyes hard, discovering the Zheng Qi was still standing there perfectly fine, his aura shocking!


    At this time, Zheng Qi''s eyes were profound, aura shocking. How was there still any hint of his essence being in a deficit, an appearance that he was not long for this world?


    Of course, what they were shocked at was far from this!


    Even a fool could also tell that Zheng Qi was currently a true-blue Celestial Deity powerhouse!


    On Utmost Peace Imperial City''s side, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    They scratched their scalps till it hurts and also could not understand why a dying man suddenly became a Celestial Deity powerhouse?


    Back then, about Yang Fan beating down Zheng Qi with one palm, Wen Yilin saw it with his own eyes.


    Just how long had passed, not only did Zheng Qi come back from the dead, he even broke through the massive shackle and became a Celestial Deity powerhouse?


    The faces of Wen Yilin and Zuo Shujie revealed a look of wild elation when they saw Zheng Qi''s breakthrough was successful.


    Ye Yuan this boy truly turned something rotten into the magical!


    It also could not be blamed that Qiao Anshan they all opened their mouths wide, not daring to believe. Even they themselves were affected, so how did the others not also feel like they were dreaming?


    "City Lord, I heard that �� someone wants to find me to take revenge?" Zheng Qi said coolly.


    One sentence, Yang Fan''s face turned pale with a whoosh.


    Take revenge?


    Finding a Celestial Deity to take revenge?


    My head f*cking burned out, right?!


    Yang Fang wished to find a hole in the ground to bore into at this time.


    He finally realized that he was simply a clown jumping around just now.


    He wanted to send Zheng Qi off?


    Zheng Qi sending him off was more like it!


    Zuo Shujie had a broad smile and said by nudging his mouth, "There, it''s that person, Gao Yuan''s disciple! He said that he has the enmity of killing his master with you and cannot live under the same sky as you. He even said to let everyone be a witness, he wanted to help his master, Gao Yuan, take revenge. Why don''t you grant his filial piety!"


    "Hahaha!"


    The powerhouses in the city finally could not hold it in anymore, all letting out wild laughter.


    This scene was simply comical to the extreme.


    "It''s really killing me! A Divine Lord Realm actually wants to find a Celestial Deity powerhouse to take revenge! His head was kicked by a donkey, right?"


    "You look at his cocky appearance just now, he probably only knows how to bully the old, weak, sick, and disabled, right?"


    "Is this guy really Utmost Peace Imperial City''s elder? This is clearly a clown! Hahaha!"


    ...


    The entire city roared with laughter. This scene was simply wonderful to the extreme.


    Yang Fan''s face simply had nowhere to put.


    "City Lord, I ��" Yang Fan had a bitter look, looking at Qiao Anshan anxiously.


    Qiao Anshan''s expression at this time was not much better than Yang Fan''s.


    This was Yang Fan losing face, could it be that he wasn''t losing face?


    "Scram to one side! Disgraceful thing!" Qiao Anshan said in a solemn voice.


    Yang Fan felt akin to being granted amnesty and hurriedly retreated to the back of the group.


    But at this time, how could Zuo Shujie be willing to yield?


    "Don''t go! Just now, it was you all who were shouting and wrangling, calling to have Zheng Qi come out, saying to find him to take revenge. Now that I called him out, why don''t you all take it! Yang Fan, where''s your filial piety?"


    Zuo Shujie pressed on relentlessly. Now, it was turning one''s spear against himself, even Qiao Anshan also did not know how to dodge it for a while.


    Qiao Anshan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said in a low voice, "Who can tell me what''s going on?"


    Wen Yilin still had not come back to his senses until now. Hearing Qiao Anshan questioning people, he answered, "This �� might be that the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City obtained a natural treasure of heaven and earth recently, this punk hit the jackpot, breaking through by a fluke!"


    Another Celestial Deity powerhouse, Peng Zhi, also said: "It must be so! Celestial Deity Realm isn''t as common as cabbages, being able to break through when one wants to break through. Zheng Qi was just lucky! A first-layered heaven Celestial Deity who just broke through, there is nothing to fear at all!"


    Qiao Anshan nodded slightly. He also felt that this was the most likely scenario.


    Hence, he gave a cold snort and said, "Zuo Shujie, do you still want face or not? Forcing a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse to seek revenge on a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse? Since Zuo Shujie already broke through, then he''s someone of our generation. How can he go and get involved in the matters of Divine Lords again?"


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    This degree of shamelessness was unparalleled.


    It was clearly you all who pushed people too far. Now, you even played the blame game, saying the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was shameless.


    Zuo Shujie clasped his hands and said with a look of admiration, "Qiao Anshan, this Zuo got to hand it to you today! Your face is even thicker than my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s city walls! Even if this Zuo brings out 100% of my power, it probably can''t breach the skin of your face either!"


    Qiao Anshan''s face turned black and was just about to flare up when another horrifying aura descended from the sky.


    A middle-aged man in azure clothing slowly stepped out of the void.


    The horrifying aura exuding off his body made the faces of Heavenly Eagle''s powerhouses change greatly.


    This aura was much stronger than even the two great city lords!


    Zuo Shujie''s and Qiao Anshan''s face changed at the same time, saying to the middle-aged man in azure clothing respectfully, "Paying respects to Lord Inspector!"


    The middle-aged man in azure nodded slightly and said coolly, "Southridge Ten Cities has already not activated the Golden Sword Token for several tens of thousands of years. What is it for this time?"

 1696 Magic One Out for You

    "Reporting to Lord Inspector, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City killed my Utmost Peace''s head elder inside a mystic realm with extremely shameless means, snatching away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Head Elder Gao Yuan was the most promising to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm in our Utmost Peace Imperial City. This time, our Utmost Peace suffered heavy losses. Therefore, that''s why this lowly official activated the Golden Sword Token out of rage."


    "Lord Inspector, Qiao Anshan is making slanderous charges! Gao Yuan plotted to harm my Heavenly Eagle''s martial artists many times in the mystic realm and more than deserves death!"


    ...


    The moment they came up, Qiao Anshan and Zuo Shujie engaged in a war of words.


    Each side believed that they were correct, both sides having their merits.


    But this kind of thing was clearly unable to distinguish between true and fake.


    When the middle-aged man in azure heard ''Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain,'' these few words, his brows raised up slightly, clearly somewhat surprised.


    "Enough!"


    When the middle-aged man in azure saw the two people quarrel without stopping, he could not help shouting in a low voice.


    Sure enough, the two people did not dare to speak anymore.


    The middle-aged man in azure said, "I didn''t expect that the Southridge Ten Cities, this kind of remote place, can actually give birth to a treasure like the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. No wonder you all did not stint to activate the Golden Sword Pact for this! Since the Golden Sword Token is already issued, then follow the rules. The victor gets the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    The middle-aged man in azure clearly saw it very clearly. This kind of debate, arguing for 10 thousand years and it was also hard to determine the winner.


    The crux of the problem was the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Qiao Anshan''s goal for activating the Golden Sword Pact was clearly for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain too.


    It was no use fighting a war of saliva; there was only showcasing one''s true ability.


    At this time, Qiao Anshan suddenly said, "Lord Inspector, we didn''t activate the Golden Sword Pact this time just for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. It''s also for a person!"


    The inspector was slightly surprised as he said, "Oh? Who is it?"


    Qiao Anshan said, "He''s called Ye Yuan, the main culprit who killed Head Elder Gao Yuan! If we win in the Golden Sword Pact this time, we still want Heavenly Eagle to hand this kid over!"


    The inspector nodded his head when he heard that and said, "If you can win, you naturally have the final say."


    In the eyes of the inspector, only Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses could enter his arcane sights. The life and death of a Divine Lord, he would not go and pay attention at all.


    But Zuo Shujie''s expression changed and he said, "Qiao Anshan, you''re shameless!"


    Qiao Anshan sneered and said, "Where''s Ye Yuan? In front of Lord Inspector, you wouldn''t want to hide him, right? Or is it that that kid is already scared until he doesn''t dare to come out?"


    "Yeah, you''re too ugly, scaring this elder badly until I don''t even dare to come out.c


    Right then, a languid voice suddenly sounded out. Ye Yuan''s figure stepped on the air and arrived.


    "Puchi!"


    Ye Yuan''s words immediately aroused a burst of laughter.


    Qiao Anshan was very short and his appearance very ugly. It was indeed somewhat frightening.


    Qiao Anshan was greatly enraged the moment he heard and said, "Brat, you''re courting death!"


    Ye Yuan still had a lazy expression as he said coolly, "The Golden Sword Pact hasn''t started yet and you want to make a show of authority already? Do you have any respect for Lord Inspector?"


    Qiao Anshan''s expression changed and indeed did not dare to make a move anymore.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow to the inspector and saluted as he said, "Heavenly Eagle''s Ye Yuan, pays respect to Lord Inspector."


    A hint of surprise briefly flashed across the inspector''s eyes. He discovered to his surprise that with his strength, he actually could not quite see through this young man!


    This kid was not simple!


    Virtually at once, the inspector drew a conclusion about Ye Yuan.


    The inspector asked with some confusion, "You''re Ye Yuan? Qiao Anshan said that it was you who killed Utmost Peace''s head elder, Gao Yuan?"


    Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan''s realm, it was impossible to kill Gao Yuan.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan nodded his head, admitted it very shamelessly, and said "Gao Yuan that guy wanted to kill me time and again. In the end, his strength was lacking and was quashed by me using the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain instead. Inside mystic realms, killing people and snatching treasures is a common occurrence, what''s the big deal? Qiao Anshan, if you want the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, say it open and aboveboard; want to be a prostitute and also want to set up a memorial archway, your heart is indeed as ugly as your face!"


    Qiao Anshan''s face turned from green to yellow. He discovered that he really was not Ye Yuan''s match in arguments.


    At this rate, he would be angered to death by Ye Yuan for sure.


    Qiao Anshan glared at Ye Yuan and said, "Razor-tongued little basted! Wait till the Golden Sword Pact is over, I''ll see if your mouth can still be glib or not!"


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Is it just two more people in the Celestial Deity Realm? Look at how you''re showing off!"


    Mentioning Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, Qiao Anshan finally found a reason to be proud of himself and said with a big laugh, "What reason do I have to not show off? The strong reigns supreme! An ant-like person like you only has the right to be trampled underfoot by this seat! If you have the capability, magic out two more Celestial Deity Realms for me! Hahaha!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Qiao Anshan like looking at an idiot and suddenly reached his hand out and pointed, pointing in the direction of the Martial Tower, and said coolly, "Ugly, you look closely. I''ll magic one out for you right now!"


    Qiao Anshan''s expression changed, looking in the direction that Ye Yuan pointed, but there was no activity at all. His face could not help turning dark as he said, "Little bastard, you dare to toy with me?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Toy with you? You take a look again."


    Qiao Anshan turned his head again and still did not discover any movements.


    He was practically about to lose it!


    Qiao Anshan could not wait for a moment longer. He swore in his heart and he must kill Ye Yuan.


    Qiao Anshan gnashed his teeth in hatred and looked at Ye Yuan as he said, "Little bastard, very good! You''re very good! After the Golden Sword Pact, you''ll know what''s called a life worse than death!"


    Ye Yuan had a wide grin and looked at Qiao Anshan as he said, "You take a look again, really magicked them out!"


    "Little bastard, are you done?! Lord Inspector, this lowly official requests to immediately start the Golden Sword Pact!" Qiao Anshan was virtually about to break down and said to the inspector.


    But he waited for a long time and the inspector did not even move.


    Lifting his head and looking, Qiao Anshan discovered that the inspector had a solemn look, and the direction that he was looking in was precisely the direction of the Martial Tower, which was also the direction that Ye Yuan pointed at.


    Qiao Anshan was alarmed inwardly and instinctively turned his head to look, his expression instantly changing drastically.


    It was only to see that the original peaceful Martial Tower actually raged with a fierce storm at this time.


    Violent spiritual energy poured over in that direction frenziedly.


    This commotion was clearly someone breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm!


    R-Really magicked out?


    It was only to see a figure fly out of the Martial Tower, standing high in the sky, absorbing spiritual energy frantically.


    That commotion was extremely shocking.


    "That �� That''s Coldfeather! How �� How is it possible? He �� He broke through too!" Wen Yilin cried out strangely and shouted in disbelief.


    Wen Yilin was not foreign to Coldfeather. They were geniuses in the same era and had once contended for a long time in secret.


    It was just that the final result was that Wen Yiling stepped into the Celestial Deity Realm, while Coldfeather ended up missing.


    Even though Coldfeather came back now, he was already no threat to Wen Yilin.


    How could more than 100 thousand years of idling away be that easy to remedy?


    Wen Yiling coming this time, he originally wanted to see Coldfeather and even chastise the latter a bit.


    But who knew that what he waited for was this kind of result!

 1697 Four Celestial Deities Gathered Together!

    Qiao Anshan''s pupils constricted. His head felt like it exploded with a buzz.


    Another Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse!


    This way, wouldn''t Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s Celestial Deity powerhouses be the same as Utmost Peace Imperial City?


    Qiao Anshan stared fixedly at the Coldfeather above the Martial Tower''s sky, his eyes full of disbelief.


    When did Celestial Deity powerhouses become cabbages?


    Overnight, Heavenly Eagle actually had two more Celestial Deity powerhouses!


    "This �� This is impossible! He had wasted more than 100 thousand years and has long passed his prime already! How can he possibly break through to reach the Celestial Deity Realm?"


    "If say one was hitting the jackpot, then what about two? This �� This is also too ridiculous, right?"


    "Who can tell me what on earth happened?"


    ...


    Utmost Peace Imperial City''s side, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    The shock that Coldfeather''s breakthrough brought to them was too much.


    To the Southridge Ten Cities'' Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, the Celestial Deity Realm was like a heavenly chasm, unable to surmount it at all.


    How many Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were there in the Southridge Ten Cities!


    No one knew!


    However, these ten cities'' Celestial Deity powerhouses added up were merely a scanty few 20 to 30 people!


    This kind of breakthrough ratio virtually made people despair.


    Hence, don''t look at how those in the Celestial Deity Realm such Zheng Qi, Ning Tianping, they were extremely talented. When arriving in front of the threshold of Celestial Deity Realm, that was an insurmountable high mountain!


    Put in the past, it was hard for the Southridge Ten Cities to produce one who broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm in 10 thousand years.


    But today, two broke through all at once!


    The inspector''s gaze flickered incessantly, titanic waves stirred up in his heart too.


    With his eyes, he could naturally see through that Zheng Qi also just broke through not long ago.


    Now, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had another one who broke through!


    What was going on today?


    Could this �� really be a coincidence?


    "Head Elder Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    "Head Elder Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    "Head Elder Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    ...


    Just as the Inspector and Utmost Peace Imperial City''s powerhouses were in immense shock, a tsunami-like clamor came from below.


    Coincidence?


    How was this possible!


    Experiencing the initial-most shock, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s powerhouses came to realize the truth very quickly.


    Zheng Qi''s and Coldfeather''s breakthroughs were absolutely not some coincidental events!


    All of this was thanks to Head Elder Ye Yuan!


    An initial-rank Four-star Alchemy God, could he dictate the breakthroughs of Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses?


    This was utterly rubbish!


    But now, no one would doubt it!


    During these ten years, Ye Yuan created countless miracles with his power alone.


    Very old undying existences who already could not possibly break through long ago, all gained a new lease on life, making breakthroughs again under Ye Yuan''s rank four divine pills.


    Therefore, they had reason to believe that today''s miracle was bestowed by Head Elder Ye Yuan. It was not simple a coincidence.


    The inspector trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan in incredible shock.


    Only now did he know that this little fellow who was merely first-layered heaven Divine Lord was actually even Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s head elder!


    What kind of concept was this?


    Either Zuo Shujie''s brain was spoiled, or this kid had extremely extraordinary aspects!


    Clearly, Zuo Shujie''s head could not possibly be spoiled. Then �� the answer was self-evident.


    It was just that he racked his head and also could not figure out how Ye Yuan dictated two great Celestial Deity powerhouses to breakthrough.


    He did not think of medicinal pills at all. A first-layered heaven Divine Lord refining the Supreme Jade Void Pill?


    Are you kidding me?


    "Hahaha �� Qiao Anshan, now, my Heavenly Eagle has four Celestial Deity powerhouses too! I see what you have to be arrogant!" Zuo Shujie said with a loud laugh.


    Among the Southridge Ten Cities, Heavenly Eagle was considered as an existence with the lowest strength.


    He, this city lord, had always tucked his tail between his legs and behaved.


    Today, he could finally hold his head up high.


    Giving birth to two great Celestial Deity powerhouses within one day, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s strength could soar to the front ranks all at once.


    Qiao Anshan''s expression was ugly to the extreme. This sudden change caught him by surprise.


    Hearing the shouts from below, he was similarly extremely shocked in his heart.


    Could it be that Zheng Qi and Coldfeather''s breakthroughs were actually thanks to Ye Yuan?


    It was only to see him snort coldly. He said, "Zuo Shujie, don''t get arrogant! The Golden Sword Pact is a life-and-death battle. Can two Celestial Deity Realms who just broke through change the battle situation?"


    Zuo Shujie simply ignored him, turned to Ye Yuan, and laughed loudly as he said, "Ye Yuan, you actually really did it! This battle, you''ve earned the most credit!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Arranged some means in order to enter the Martial Tower and delayed some time. Fortunately, it wasn''t too late."


    Zuo Shujie''s gaze turned intent, sniffing a hint of something unusual from Ye Yuan''s words.


    Why did Coldfeather''s breakthrough have to be inside the Martial Tower?


    Seemed like �� there was some story!


    Qiao Anshan could not quite stand still anymore. He gritted his teeth, toughened his scalp, and said to the inspector, "Lord Inspector, this lowly official requests to immediately start the Golden Sword Pact!"


    Although Coldfeather and Zheng Qi both just broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm, Celestial Deity Realm was Celestial Deity Realm!


    If it was really four-versus-four, the variables were too great.


    However, the inspector''s expression turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, "Are you teaching this envoy on how to do things?"


    Qiao Anshan was startled inwardly and hurriedly said, "This �� This lowly official dare not!"


    The inspector gave a cold snort and said, "Good that you don''t dare! Once the breakthrough starts, he''s a member of our generation! How can the Golden Sword Pact, such a major event, be treated as a child''s play? Starting the Golden Sword Pact now, are you trying to have everyone talk behind this envoy''s back? Mn?"


    Qiao Anshan broke out in cold sweat and repeatedly said that he dare not.


    The inspector said in a cold voice, "If this matter was passed back to the imperial capital, do you think that I can continue to be an inspector? Or is it that you want this envoy to show partiality to your Utmost Peace Imperial City and slaughter the entire Heavenly Eagle?"


    Qiao Anshan''s sweat fell like a waterfall and did not even have time wipe away sweat as he hurriedly said, "T-This lowly official knows my mistake! This lowly official was just �� just anxious and didn''t expect that it offended Your Excellency. I hope that Your Excellency doesn''t blame me!"


    The inspector said in a cold voice, "Stand down! After he breaks through, the Golden Sword Pact will commence immediately!"


    How could Qiao Anshan still dare to speak? He could only retreat to one side and did not even dare to let out a fart.


    Time slowly trickled by, spiritual energy also gradually dissipated.


    But the aura on Coldfeather gradually became stronger.


    "Hahaha �� I didn''t expect it! Truly didn''t think that this old man actually still has a day where I broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    After breaking through, Coldfeather let out a wild laugh, reverberating throughout heaven and earth.


    Over 400 years ago, he was still trapped inside the spatial inheritance, unable to escape at all.


    At that time, he never dreamed that he would actually still have a day where he could break through to the Celestial Deity Realm in this lifetime.


    This was something that he did not even dare to dream about during the past 100 thousand years.


    But today, Ye Yuan actually helped him to actualize it.


    Swoosh!


    Coldfeather strode out, crossing a distance of 100 thousand feet, directly arriving at Ye Yuan''s side.


    i the Supreme Jade Void Pill is indeed wondrous! Ye Yuan, the favor that this old man owes you can''t be repaid entirely in this lifetime!" Coldfeather said to Ye Yuan with a big laugh.


    Suddenly, he felt the powerful pressure on the inspector''s body. Coldfeather''s expression changed and he bowed as he said, "Heavenly Eagle''s Coldfeather, pays respect to Lord Inspector!"


    The inspector nodded slightly and said, "Mn, since you''ve already broken through, the Golden Sword Pact will start at once!"

 1698 Preserve Your Little Life

    Outside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, eight great Celestial Deity powerhouses stood in the air.


    The great battle had yet to start and the commotion was already monstrous.


    In the distance, there were already countless Heavenly Eagle powerhouses surrounding and watching, being stunned by this powerful line-up.


    Celestial Deity powerhouses, they normally could not even see one. Today, they saw eight all at once, as well as the inspector!


    "Zuo Shujie, prepare to suffer my wrath! Today, you must die!"


    Qiao Anshan had a furious look. Today''s situation already completely stepped out of his control.


    The reason why he dared to activate the Golden Sword Pact was that Utmost Peace Imperial City''s Celestial Deity Realms were powerful.


    But now, both sides were actually evenly-matched!


    This fight, the variables were too great.


    However, as long as he could kill Zuo Shujie, everything could end.


    The Golden Sword Token was already issued, Qiao Anshan did not have any way out as well. Either you die or I perish!


    Zuo Shujie smiled coldly and said, "That will have to depend on whether you have this ability or not!"


    Qiao Anshan snorted coldly, the aura on his body releasing fully. Zuo Shujie''s expression could not help changing.


    "This guy, his aura grew a lot stronger again! Looks like he''s already very close to a third-layered heaven Celestial Deity!"


    Zuo Shujie''s strength was still some distance away from peak second-layered heaven Celestial Deity.


    There was a massive difference in strength between each minor realm of the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Even each minor realm was also accumulated over countless years.


    Qiao Anshan''s strength had always been half a notch stronger than Zuo Shujie.


    But moving out this time, Qiao Anshan''s strength seemed to be much stronger again!


    If without the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, this battle was really fraught with grim possibilities.


    Upon thinking of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, Zuo Shujie was shocked in his heart again.


    Because the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was already thoroughly refined by Ye Yuan!


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was extremely difficult to refine. If it were him, even several thousand years and he might not be able to refine all of it either.


    But how many years had it been since Ye Yuan obtained the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?


    This kid was full of secrets everywhere on his body!


    Over there, Wen Yiling looked at Coldfeather, his eyes full of disdain.


    "Coldfeather, even if you broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm, you''re still just an ant in my eyes! You''ve just entered the first-layered heaven Celestial Deity Realm, while I''m already a peak first-layered heaven Celestial Deity!"


    Wen Yilin''s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Courting death!"


    Right at this time, the inspector said in a clear voice, "Golden Sword Pact, life-and-death battle, begin!"


    Qiao Anshan''s expression turned intent and he yelled coldly, "KILL!"


    The moment the word ''kill'' came out of the mouth, Qiao Anshan''s entire person was akin to a cannonball, charging toward Zuo Shujie.


    Four pairs of Celestial Deity powerhouses instantly clashed together.


    That commotion could be said to be earth-shattering.


    Above in the sky, a cloud of smoke floated over the battlefield, auras surging to the sky.


    That violent aftershock, even if a trace leaked over, it could still crush them into minced meat.


    Those Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were far away, but their faces were already white-faced without any blood.


    This battle was on a completely different level from them.


    Especially Qiao Anshan and Zuo Shujie, the commotion of these two people''s battle was tremendous, overshadowing the other three pairs of Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    The inspector shot a glance at the Ye Yuan not far away and asked rather curiously, "You don''t seem worried about them at all?"


    In reality, even if Heavenly Eagle Imperial City produced two more mighty Celestial Deity powerhouses all at once, he was still not optimistic about Heavenly Eagle.


    After all, Utmost Peace Imperial City''s Celestial Deity powerhouses held an overwhelming advantage.


    Powerhouses who just reached the Celestial Deity Realms and veteran of the Celestial Deity Realms, their strengths were completely different.


    If without a very powerful trump card, wanting to defeat the opponent was simply wishful thinking.


    But when the inspector glanced at Ye Yuan, he discovered that he was calm and composed, there was no worry on his face at all. This made him very curious.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Those few fellows are dead for sure, so what''s there to be worried about?"


    The inspector was stunned when he heard that and said in astonishment, "Dead for sure?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Otherwise? From that moment Qiao Anshan activated the Golden Sword Token, the final result was already decided."


    These words were �� domineering!


    It was just that coming out from the mouth of a first-layered heaven Divine Lord junior, it seemed very comical.


    The inspector was somewhat at a loss whether to cry or laugh. He shook his head, rather disappointed in Ye Yuan.


    Unable to even judge the overall situation, it seemed like he was just a prodigy who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.


    However, even though disdainful, he was still very curious about Ye Yuan.


    After all, a first-layered heaven Divine Lord was actually able to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill, this kind of peak rank four medicinal pill; this was seriously too amazing.


    One had to know, even the imperial capital''s genius alchemists could not possibly refine peak level nine medicinal pills when at this realm too.


    Therefore, even though everyone pledged in all sincerity and solemness, the inspector himself still had some reservations.


    The inspector said with a faint smile, "Huhu, junior, you might not know how great the disparity between Celestial Deity Realms is! Even though Heavenly Eagle has two more Celestial Deities, they have just entered the Celestial Deity Realm and are far from those veteran Celestial Deity Realms'' match. This matter, I think that Heavenly Eagle is a little unreliable!"


    Ye Yuan turned his head and looked at the inspector with a smile as he said, "Does Your Excellency still have something you want to say?"


    The inspector was slightly startled in his heart. He only said half a sentence and this kid already knew his intentions?


    This kid was shrewd!


    The inspector said coolly, "If Heavenly Eagle is defeated, your little life will be lost! That Qiao Anshan absolutely won''t let you off!."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What does Lord Inspector want? The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain or the Supreme Jade Void Pill?"


    The inspector''s expression became slightly austere, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    He suddenly discovered that he really underestimated this kid. This fellow was sly and shrewd. He was like an old fellow wise in the ways of the world and not like a young man at all.


    Since they were clever people, the inspector did not beat around the bush anymore as well. He opened his mouth and said coolly, "The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain is the Golden Sword Pact''s wager, it isn''t convenient for this envoy to intervene. Rather, your little life, this envoy can save it. At that time, you just have to help this envoy refine a Supreme Jade Void Pill will do. However, this envoy wants high-grade and above. Do you have the assurance to refine?"


    A Supreme Jade Void Pill, even in the imperial capital, it was an extremely hard to come by medicinal pill too.


    Even Five-star Alchemy Gods might not be able to refine it too.


    For the inspector to want to get such a medicinal pill, the price expended was still considerable.


    People should not look at how he was awe-inspiring in the Southridge Ten Nations. If they really settled down at the imperial capital and got to know things, he was also merely an unimportant character[1].


    Ye Yuan knew that Leng Qiuling came from an imperial capital. She was already about to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm at a young age.


    This at least showed that Celestial Deity Realms were nothing in imperial capitals.


    Hearing the inspector''s words, Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Lord Inspector is worrying too much. If you want the Supreme Jade Void Pill, this Ye will just help you to refine. There is no need to use this Ye''s life to secure one. Your Excellency, rest assured. Heavenly Eagle will definitely win this battle!"


    The inspector was speechless. He suddenly felt like he could not quite figure out this brat anymore.


    Clearly an incomparably clever person, but why was he so far off the mark when talking?


    Win?


    Use what to win?


    Right at this time, a series of loud noises came from the sky.


    Qiao Anshan completely rampaged, berserk strength suppressing Zuo Shujie firmly.


    The inspector looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "This is your certain victory?"


    [1] Southridge Ten Cities and Southridge Ten Nations seem to be used interchangeably.

 1699 Heavenly Eagles Trump Card!

    In the distance, the cluttered and violent attacks shook until space was trembling.


    Utmost Peace Imperial City''s four great Celestial Deity powerhouses already suppressed Heavenly Eagle''s side all-round.


    They were well-deserving of being veteran Celestial Deity Realms. Regardless whether it was divine essence or world power, it was much more stronger compared to Coldfeather they all, newly-advanced Celestial Deities.


    At that start, it still did not show. But along with the passing of time, this kind of advantage was clearly magnifying continuously.


    Even Zuo Shujie already showed signs of defeat too.


    "Continuing like this isn''t a solution! City Lord they all almost can''t hold on anymore!"


    "Utmost Peace''s Celestial Deity Realms are too strong, ancestor they all, the time they broke through is still too short!"


    "What to do? Could it be that �� Heavenly Eagle''s Dao teachings are going to wither away henceforth?"


    ...


    Far away, Heavenly Eagle''s martial artists all revealed worried looks.


    The joy of two great Celestial Deity Realms appearing was already swept clean.


    "Hahaha! Zuo Shujie, so what if four Celestial Deities? Just based on your bit of means, can you be my match?"


    Qiao Anshan laughed wantonly as he unleashed martial techniques frenziedly, continuing his victorious pursuit.


    Zuo Shujie''s aura gradually weakened, virtually losing the strength to retaliate.


    The other few people all encountered similar situations.


    Wen Yilin laughed loudly and said, "What did I say? Ants are ants in the end! Do you think that the disparity of more than 100 thousand years can be made up for by breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm? Hahaha, prepare to die!''


    The inspector smiled as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, "Now, do you still think that I have no need to state this condition?"


    Exchanging pill for one''s life and Ye Yuan directly helping him refine pills, this was two different concepts.


    Ye Yuan directly helping him refine pills was equivalent to him owing Ye Yuan a favor.


    To martial artists, what they were most unwilling to do was to owe others favor.


    If the favor could not be repaid, when breaking through, it might produce a mental demon. The consequences would be very severe.


    Therefore, between martial artists, what was valued more was an equivalent exchange and not owing favors.


    To Ye Yuan, it was similarly likewise.


    The inspector''s status was extraordinary. Having him owe him a favor was equivalent to having a safeguard in this Southridge Ten Nations.


    This kind of bargain deal, not making it was a fool!


    But Ye Yuan''s face did not have any hint of worry as he said and said, "Yes, it''s not necessary."


    The inspector shook his head, feeling that Ye Yuan would not shed tears without seeing the coffin.


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, "If I agree now, in a while, Lord Inspector''s face won''t look good."


    The inspector chuckled when he heard that and said, "You, kid, are rather interesting. This envoy wants to see if a miracle will appear today or not."


    Ye Yuan said, "Not a miracle. It''s strength!"


    The inspector shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. He could not be bothered to bicker with Ye Yuan anymore.


    While up in the sky, signs of Zuo Shujie and the rest''s defeat were already more evident.


    Qiao Anshan''s face was even more proud of himself. He held a massive greataxe and shouted fiercely, "Zuo Shujie, this axe will send you to the west! Overlord Heaven-Splitting Axe, kill for me!"


    This massive axe was a celestial deity mystic treasure. This axe cleaving out seemed to have the power to split apart heaven and earth.


    Clearly, this was Qiao Anshan''s true killing move.


    A series of exclamations came from below. Quite a number of people all shut their eyes, unable to bear the sight of seeing Zuo Shujie being hacked to death.


    Rumble!


    An earth-shaking loud noise came over, but Zuo Shujie was not split in half.


    Rather, Qiao Anshan himself had been repelled backward several tens of thousands of feet.


    Qiao Anshan''s expression changed and he cried out, "Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Impossible! You �� You refined the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain? No, wait, this isn''t your Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain!"


    The current Zuo Shujie appeared slightly wretched, supporting a dark small hill on his palm.


    That small hill emitted waves of powerful aura on Zuo Shujie''s hand.


    Hearing that, Zuo Shujie smiled coldly and said, "Didn''t expect it, right? Ye Yuan already completely refined the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain. Haven''t you always wanted it very much? Then come and taste its true power today!"


    Done talking, Zuo Shujie pushed with his palm. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain turned into a streak of black light, instantly smashing toward Qiao Anshan!


    The speed was too fast. Qiao Anshan could not avoid it in time at all and could only block with the giant axe.


    Bang!


    Qiao Anshan was directly smashed flying away, fresh blood spewing wildly.


    He revealed a look of astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief as he said, "Impossible! Just how many years has it been? How can he, a Divine Lord Realm brat, possibly refine the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?"


    Zuo Shujie chuckled and said, "If you''re able to survive, you can go and ask Ye Yuan. But as for now �� heh heh!"


    Zuo Shujie controlled the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and clashed together with Qiao Anshan once more.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain in Zuo Shujie''s hands, that power was a completely different concept than in Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Qiao Anshan''s giant axe was already extremely powerful. But as long as it bumped into the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, Qiao Anshan immediately flew out backward.


    Such a battle was simply unreasonable.


    The might of a xiantian celestial deity mystic treasure was displayed beyond all doubt at this moment.


    If the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain could not be completely refined, it would not be able to fully unleash its true power.


    Ye Yuan could still use it to smash people, but using it in a battle of Celestial Deity powerhouses would not cut it.


    Ye Yuan refining it fully, even though he was unable to unleash its true power due to his realm being low, lending it to Zuo Shujie to battle, that power was totally different.


    Therefore, that was why Qiao Anshan would be so shocked seeing the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.


    The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was extremely difficult to refine. Qiao Anshan did not think that this thing could be used to battle at all.


    Otherwise, lend him a few gallbladders and he also would not dare to issue this Golden Sword Token!


    For Ye Yuan to be able to refine the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood so quickly, it was naturally because of the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood.


    Ye Yuan''s comprehension in origin magnetic law was already extremely high. Coupled with the natural affinity of the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood, he naturally refined the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood many times faster than others.


    The current Qiao Anshan wanted to vomit blood several times. Under the circumstances where the strength difference was not great, the suppression of the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was simply too terrifying.


    The moment the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain came out, the battle situation immediately had a great reversal.


    Over there, He Chong suddenly brought out the Immortal Binding Rope, catching his opponent by surprise all of a sudden.


    He Chong was a veteran Celestial Deity Realm too, the difference from his opponent was not big.


    Now, suddenly having an additional celestial deity mystic treasure, he took the absolute upper-hand all of a sudden.


    When his opponent saw the Immortal Binding Rope, he nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    This was Utmost Peace''s celestial deity mystic treasure. Now, it was actually being used by He Chong to deal with him!


    The most blinding one still had to be Coldfeather.


    He did not take out any magic treasure. But his figure suddenly became erratic, his entire person seemingly shuttling back and forth in space.


    Spatial laws!


    "It''s spatial laws! Ancestor Coldfeather he �� he comprehended first-layered heaven spatial laws!"


    "I understand! No wonder he wanted to break through in the Martial Tower! Turns out that he went to comprehend spatial laws!"


    "These 100 thousand over years were also not completely wasted away! With spatial laws, even if it''s just first-layered heaven, one''s strength will be totally different too!"


    ...


    Watching the scene, Heavenly Eagle''s martial artists cried out in shock.

 1700 Flames of War Extinguish, Heavenly Eagle Rejoices!

    When martial artists broke through a major realm, that was when they were closest to the Heavenly Dao, and it was also the easiest time to comprehend the Dao.


    Coldfeather had the foundation of spatial laws and his comprehension ability was not poor either.


    Hence, Ye Yuan set up an inheritance space anew, making it more suited for Coldfeather. It was all to help him achieve a breakthrough in spatial laws.


    And Coldfeather did not disappoint Ye Yuan''s expectations either. When breaking through, he finally grasped first-layered heaven spatial laws in one stroke.


    In normal situation, even if having another few tens of thousands of years, he also might not be able to completely comprehend it.


    Ye Yuan integrated the power of chaos into the Supreme Jade Void Pill. To begin with, it was extraordinary.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan''s ataraxia and tranquil heart, that was how it helped Coldfeather successfully to brak through.


    And now, it was finally Coldfeather''s turn to display his abilities.


    Even though Coldfeather did not fuse Sword Dao and spatial laws into one like Ye Yuan, coupled with spatial laws, his strength became totally different.


    Although Wen Yilin''s strength was decent, he was still considered a newbie in the Celestial Deity Realm. His breakthrough was also something that happened in these few tens of thousands of years.


    In an instant, his pressure surged.


    Among the four people, only Zheng Qi''s strength was slightly weaker. But his opponent''s strength was also average. He could still barely hold on.


    Therefore, after Heavenly Eagle''s people showed their trump cards, the situation instantly reversed!


    Swish!


    A swift and fierce sword light flashed past. Wen Yilin directly had a hole bored through.


    Coldfeather continued his victorious pursuit, one sword faster than the other.


    Wen Yilin was routed like a landslide, how did he still have any strength leftover to counterattack?


    Bang!


    Another streak of sword light passed through the void, landing on Wen Yilin, directly knocking him into the ground.


    Coldfeather raised his longsword, looked at the half-dead Wen Yilin, and said coolly, "I''ve indeed wasted more than 100 thousand years, but my life is better than yours! Because when I was at my most hopeless, I ran into the person who rekindled my lease of life."


    Wen Yilin was already heavily injured, currently on the verge of death. His eyes were full of terror as well as the desire to live on.


    He was actually defeated just like this!


    Coldfeather did not have the slightest compassion, swinging his long sword, ending Wen Yilin''s life.


    When the inspector saw this scene, he was speechless for a long time.


    Truly, in a blink of an eye, the whole world was turned upside down.


    Heavenly Eagle actually really turned things around!


    The inspector opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.


    Up in the sky, the battle still continued.


    Zuo Shujie controlled the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, sweeping forth ever-victorious. Qiao Anshan became increasingly unable to hold on.


    Their strength was originally very close. Zuo Shujie relied on the power of the mystic treasure and became braver as the battle progressed.


    Bang!


    A moment of carelessness and Qiao Anshan was smashed flying out backward.


    Who would have thought that Qiao Anshan actually turned into a stream of flowing life and fled at the risk of heavy injuries!


    This sudden turn of events caught everyone by surprise.


    The inspector gave a cold snort, figure rushing out swiftly.


    A powerful to the extreme aura surged straight for the horizon.


    A swift figure passed by. The inspector actually reached first despite moving later, stopping Qiao Anshan.


    The inspector said coolly, "Where are you going?"


    Qiao Anshan''s entire person had already gone berserk, and he roared furiously, "Why do you care where your father is going?! Your father doesn''t want to die, so get lost!"


    Done talking, the frenzied Qiao Anshan actually cleaved an axe blow towards the inspector.


    "Courting death!"


    The patrolling inspector was a paramount existence in the Southridge Ten Nations.


    This Qiao Anshan had also lost his head in defeat, to actually dare attack him.


    It was only to see the inspector suddenly erupted with an imposing manner. It was world power. He suddenly punched out!


    Bang!


    A loud noise came from the sky.


    After that, there was no more after that.


    The inspector put away Qiao Anshan''s giant axe and said with a cold snort, "Blind and reckless thing! To actually dare make a move against this envoy!"


    In a blink, two great Celestial Deity powerhouses fell. This battle no longer had any suspense.


    Following Coldfeather and Zuo Shujie joining the battle royale, Heavenly Eagle completely wiped out Utmost Peace''s Celestial Deity powerhouses neat and tidily.


    Once the Golden Sword Token happened, that was a situation of not resting until they were dead. Either you die or I perish.


    It was just that Qiao Anshan never dreamed that Utmost Peace Imperial City actually ended up in this conclusion in the end.


    "Heavenly Eagle is mighty!"


    "City Lord is mighty!"


    "Head Elder Ye Yuan is mighty!"


    ...


    The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City seethed with excitement, from despair to hope, then to victory.


    This battle met with life in a desperate situation, bringing them too many surprises.


    No one could have thought that the powerful Utmost Peace Imperial City was actually wiped out just like this.


    And the ones who launched the war were even Utmost Peace Imperial City themselves.


    Zuo Shujie few people''s faces also revealed looks of wild ecstasy.


    This battle was fought until it was really to their heart''s content.


    As the weakest existence among the Southridge Ten Cities, Zuo Shujie this city lord was actually very vexed and timid.


    But today, they announced their might to the other eight imperial cities!


    "Haha, it''s really too great! I don''t even remember how long it''s been since I''ve felt so refreshed!" He Chong said with a big laugh.


    Zuo Shujie smiled and said, "Yeah! After this battle, our Heavenly Eagle is sufficient to rise to the top five ranks of the Southridge Ten Nations! In the future, no one can think about bullying us anymore! Come, we have to thank Ye Yuan properly. Without him, today''s result will be completely different!"


    Everyone secretly nodded their heads when they heard that and followed Zuo Shujie over.


    Four great Celestial Deity Realms arrived together. Zuo Shujie directly returned the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain to Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Ye Yuan, this battle, I represent Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to thank you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "City Lord''s words are too serious. This Ye is Heavenly Eagle''s Pill Tower''s head elder, I naturally have to contribute effort to Heavenly Eagle."


    The four great celestial deities were all extremely grateful to Ye Yuan in their hearts.


    Except, what they could give Ye Yuan was seriously not much.


    Furthermore, they similarly knew that Ye Yuan''s end journey was absolutely not at a tiny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Even the Southridge Ten Cities could not pin him down.


    Sooner or later one day, he would leave.


    But without a doubt, the transformation that Ye Yuan brought to Heavenly Eagle was tremendous.


    At this time, the inspector slowly came over. His gaze swept past Ye Yuan, but he said to Zuo Shujie, "The Golden Sword Pact has already concluded. This envoy has to make a trip back to the imperial capital and report the situation of the Southridge Ten Nations to the higher-ups. According to the rule, Utmost Peace Imperial City will be under Heavenly Eagle''s jurisdiction now. You guys should send people to take over control of Utmost Peace as soon as possible, but don''t make any trouble."


    Zuo Shujie hurriedly said, "Yes, Lord Inspector!"


    The inspector nodded his head and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, you come with me for a bit."


    Under everyone''s wondering gazes, the inspector brought Ye Yuan to one side and said, "Kid, this time, count it as this envoy owes you a favor! Returning to the imperial capital this time, this envoy will bring over the spirit medicines to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill. At that time, you take action to refine one for this envoy."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too serious. It''s just a minor favor. Your Excellency, you don''t need to take it to heart."


    The inspector gave Ye Yuan a deep glance, feeling secretly alarmed in his heart.


    He finally understood now that this kid already had prepared plans to deal with the situation. When saying and doing things, he seemed very wild. Actually, everything was within his control.


    No need to take to heart?


    Even if he, Ye Yuan, did not take it to heart, could he not care about it?


    But Ye Yuan did not say a word and just said that it was a small matter.


    This way, it saved his face and also made him owe a favor.


    This kid was impressive!

 1701 100 Years Later

    Becoming famous under the heavens in one battle!


    Heavenly Eagle''s domineering rise swept across the Southridge Ten Cities like the wind.


    Four great Celestial Deity Realms, without losing a single person, completely annihilated Utmost Peace''s four great Celestial Deity Realms.


    The battle''s outcome was extremely dazzling!


    Among the Southridge Ten Cities'' Celestial Deity Realms, even though there were strong and weak ones, their strengths were more or less very close.


    Under normal circumstances, such a tragic great battle, both sides having casualties were bound to happen.


    But none of Heavenly Eagle''s Celestial Deity Realms was lost.


    What did this show?


    It showed that Heavenly Eagle''s four great Celestial Deities were powerful, completely crushing Utmost Peace Imperial City.


    However, this was not what made the other imperial cities most shocked.


    What shocked them the most was that Heavenly Eagle produced an alchemist, an alchemist who could refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill!


    This was the thing that made them most jealous!


    Ye Yuan''s name instantly echoed throughout the entire Southridge Ten Cities together with Heavenly Eagle.


    A genius alchemist who could refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill, what did this mean?


    This meant that as long as he had sufficient spirit medicines, Ye Yuan could create Celestial Deity powerhouses non-stop!


    That was right! It was mass production!


    This ability simply drove people insane.


    What did the Southridge Ten Cities lack the most?


    Powerhouses in the Celestial Deity Realms!


    But with Ye Yuan''s ability, Celestial Deity Realms could actually be pass produced. What kind of heaven-defying ability was this?


    For the other imperial cities, there was nothing they could feel other than jealousy.


    Fortunately, even though there were many Divine Lords, there were very few half-step Celestial Deity martial artists.


    Furthermore, the spirit medicines that the Supreme Jade Void Pill required were extremely scarce in the Southridge Lands. Those truly able to gather them were very few.


    Otherwise, the entire Southridge Ten Cities would really change heavens.


    Even so, Cloudjade Imperial City still offered a sky-high price of 300 billion, wanting to invite Ye Yuan to take action to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill.


    Cloudjade Imperial City was the Southridge Ten Cities'' strongest imperial city. Just the Celestial Deity powerhouses were as many as five.


    Only the Cloudjade Imperial City, this kind of existence, could gather the Supreme Jade Void Pill''s spirit medicines.


    These spirit medicines were extremely hard to come by. If not for Ye Yuan going to Riverluck Capital City, wanting to gather them would really not be an ordinary kind of difficult.


    The sky-high price of 300 billion that Cloudjade Imperial City offered was merely just to have Ye Yuan take action to refine it.


    The spirit medicines were prepared by them.


    It was just that if Ye Yuan could refine successfully.


    300 billion to buy a Celestial Deity Realm was extremely worth it.


    However, Ye Yuan still refused.


    Increasing other imperial cities'' strength, this kind of thing, Ye Yuan naturally would not do it.


    But since that day, the other eight cities would frequently send envoys to Heavenly Eagle to request pills from Ye Yuan.


    No choice, the rank four divine pills that Ye Yuan refined, the quality was too good!


    The other imperial cities'' Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, once cultivated to a critical juncture, ordinary medicinal pill quality would not be able to satisfy at all.


    In the past, they could only be stuck at the gateway and take time to slowly grind.


    But now, they had one more choice, that was to request pills from Ye Yuan.


    The powerhouses of the eight great imperial cities, as long as they could obtain a medicinal pill from Ye Yuan''s hands, breaking through for them were virtually something already guaranteed.


    It was also because of this that Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills were highly popular. However, it was hard to request for even one pill.


    Of course, even if it was ordinary rank four divine pills, Ye Yuan would not casually refine them as well.


    Some key medicinal pills, he would not refine for outsiders. This was his principle.


    Furthermore, wanting to request Ye Yuan to take action, the prices were all extremely high.


    But even so, Ye Manor''s front door was still almost trampled flat.


    Hence, after the Golden Sword Pact, Heavenly Eagle became a very special existence.


    Even Cloudjade Imperial City would not easily offend them either.


    Furthermore, there was a legend that Heavenly Eagle''s Head Elder Ye Yuan was on very friendly terms with Southridge Patrolling Inspector, Jiang Jadehall!


    This legend made everyone even more cautious in taking action, not daring to have the slightest notion towards Heavenly Eagle.


    An empty hole invited the wind, but who knew if it was real or fake?


    The key point was that Jiang Jadehall himself had not come out to clarify it either!


    Ever since the Golden Sword Pact, Ye Yuan''s prestige in Heavenly Eagle had no equal.


    And he had basically become a hands-off manager as well.


    Currently, the Pill Tower and Martial Tower''s affairs were already handed to Ruo Xu and Ning Zhiyuan to deal with.


    How could the present Ruo Xu still dare to even mutter dissent towards Ye Yuan''s words?


    As for Ning Zhiyuan, with Zheng Qi and Coldfeather both breaking through, he also became the Martial Tower''s head elder as a matter of course.


    Ye Yuan would give sermons in the Pill Tower every once in a while.


    At that time, even Xuan Yu and Ruo Xu would also be like well-behaved little pupils, listening to the lecture quietly below.


    Finally, one day, when Ye Yuan was giving a lecture, the wind and clouds suddenly surged, Xuan Yu gained enlightenment on Dao!


    At this point, Heavenly Eagle added another Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Furthermore, it was even a Five-star Alchemy God!


    Southridge Lands'' one and only Five-star Alchemy God!


    The sad thing was that Xuan Yu this Five-star Alchemy God fell short of reality.


    Southridge''s rank five divine rank spirit medicines were too scarce. Xuan Yu had no way of studying rank five divine pills at all.


    However, Five-star Alchemy God was Five-star Alchemy God, his strength was far from what Four-star Alchemy Gods could compare to.


    In a blink, a hundred years already passed. On this day, a figure drifted into Ye Manor and said with a big laugh, "Hahaha, Little Friend Ye Yuan, this old man came to beg for a drink again!"


    Ye Yuan came out to welcome and said with a smile, "Elder Brother Jiang, you''ve been coming rather diligently recently! My Hundred Flowers Heavenly Immortal Wine can''t support your drinking like this!"


    Hundred Flowers Heavenly Immortal Wine was a kind of rank four spirit alcohol that Ye Yuan created, gathering the essence of a hundred types of spirit flowers, and brewed with a secret method.


    Not only was the taste superb, but it was also greatly beneficial to martial artists.


    This flask of alcohol was very valuable.


    Ever since Jiang Jadehall knew that Ye Yuan had this wine, he would come to ask for a few cups to drink every now and then.


    In the long run, he became Ye Manor''s frequent guest.


    Just as rumored in the outside world, these two people''s relationship was really not ordinary.


    This reason was naturally due to the Supreme Jade Void Pill.


    Jiang Jadehall''s request of Ye Yuan was high-grade, but in the end, Ye Yuan gave him a huge surprise. It was a divine-grade pill!


    A divine-grade Supreme Jade Void Pill, this was an existence that could not be purchased even by spending money in the imperial capital!


    The effect of the medicinal pill was naturally extraordinary.


    Jiang Jadehall requested the pill for his niece. After his niece consumed the medicinal pill, she naturally broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm as a matter of course.


    Furthermore, the same as Ning Tianping, her Celestial Deity Realm could not be compared to the normal Celestial Deity Realm. The effects of the medicinal pill would last for many years.


    Presently, inside the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined contained his chaos power. Divine-grade Supreme Jade Void Pill was not the least bit inferior to the previous void spirit divine-grade!


    Ever since then, Jiang Jadehall treated Ye Yuan as a bosom friend.


    Furthermore, Jiang Jadehall understood that this was not Ye Yuan seeking connections with someone of higher standing. It might even be him, Jiang Jadehall, who was seeking connections with someone out of his league.


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, he would absolutely not be limited to just Southridge Ten Cities in the future.


    The land of the Southridge Ten Cities was barren with a shortage of resources. This place already did not have much space for his development.


    Drinking a cup of Hundred Flowers Heavenly Immortal Wine, Jiang Jadehall was very refreshed and said to Ye Yuan with a smile, "Younger Brother, have you considered the matter that I talked with you about? With your talent, staying in this Southridge Land is too unworthy of your talents. The Imperial capital is the land where you put your talents to great use!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression dimmed and he let out a sigh as he said, "I know that Elder Brother has good intentions. However, let''s wait a while more."

 1702 Extreme Light Imperial City

    Presently, several years had already passed since the 500-year-agreement.


    But, no matter whether it was Li-er, Lu-er, or White Light, there was no news.


    So these few years, Ye Yuan was unable to cultivate in peace too, looking forward to their news every single day.


    But along with the passing with time, Ye Yuan also became more and more restless.


    Actually, several decades ago, Jiang Jadehall already invited Ye Yuan to the imperial capital. But Ye Yuan had the 500-year-agreement and naturally would not go.


    Now, he would not go even more.


    Jiang Jadehall gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, "Rest assured, sister-in-law they all will be blessed by the heavens and turn calamities into blessings!"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jiang, these words, you yourself don''t even believe it, right?"


    Jiang Jadehall was a little embarrassed when he heard that and laughed awkwardly.


    The Heavenspan World was too big. Danger was everywhere. The few of them, their strengths were not strong either. Something happening outside was not surprising.


    Back then, when Li-er they all left, what Ye Yuan was most worried about was this situation today. He did not expect that it still happened.


    The reason why he set the 500-year-agreement was in order to not let them run too far.


    Looking at it now, the development of things still could not be as he wished.


    Jiang Jadehall saw that Ye Yuan was dejected and urged, "Don''t blame yourself too much either. Saying something a little pretentious, want to blame, blame that you''re too outstanding! Being by your side requires enormous pressure!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Jadehall and could not resist rolling his eyes.


    However, what Jiang Jadehall said were heartfelt words and did not have the intention of buttering him up.


    Even though these words indeed sounded rather flattering.


    These few years, Jiang Jadehall and Ye Yuan had a close friendship and naturally knew how astonishing Ye Yuan''s talent was.


    Such an outstanding genius, ordinary people being by his side had to bear tremendous pressure.


    And this was also precisely the reason why Li-er they all left.


    Jiang Jadehall continued: "Got to look at the bright side of things. You think about it, They are training outside. Perhaps they had some lucky encounter, or are hindered by something, who knows?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Can only think like that."


    Jiang Jadehall said, "So next, what do you plan to do?"


    Ye Yuan said, "In another few years, if there is still no news, I plan on making a trip to Extreme Light Imperial City!"


    Jiang Jadehall''s expression changed and he cried out in shock, "Extreme Light Imperial City! That''s the Jian Family''s territory!"


    But some imperial cities were resounding like the roar of thunder, everyone knew about them in the entire Heavenspan World.


    Extreme Light Imperial City was one of them.


    The reason why it was so renowned was naturally that it was one of the territories of the Jian Family.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s descendants spanned all over the Heavenspan World. But some rendezvous points were the Jian Family''s private plots.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! The Jian Family''s aura viewing art is unparalleled under the heavens. I want to invite them to take action. At least, I got to make sure of Li-er their safety."


    Jiang Jadehall''s expression changed and he said, "The Jian Family''s members are all unbelievably proud. You, a first-layered heaven Divine Lord, they won''t recognize you when you arrive there. Who will give you face?"


    Ye Yuan said, "The last time I went out to train, I became acquainted with a member of the Jian Family. See if he can help or not. All in all, not getting their news, I can''t even continue cultivating."


    Jiang Jadehall was incomparably shocked in his heart. He did not think that Ye Yuan actually even got acquainted with a member of the Jian Family!


    One had to know, precisely because members of the Jian Family all knew the aura viewing aura, so the people that they made friends with were all people with great potential.


    Ordinary people could hardly enter their arcane sights at all.


    One should not make the assumption on how he, Jiang Jadehall, was a Celestial Deity powerhouse. Once a Jian family member saw that he did not have potential, they would not even be bothered to look at him.


    But thinking about it, Jiang Jadehall was also relieved.


    With Ye Yuan''s talent, the Jian family members regarding him highly were also reasonable.


    If let him know that Jian Zhentao only took one look at Ye Yuan and blinded his eyes, who knew what he would think.


    Jiang Jadehall nodded when he heard that and said, "May as well. Extreme Light Imperial City is powerful. If you can get acquainted with members of the Jian Family, it will be infinitely beneficial to you!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly took out a large jar and said, "Brother Jian, after I leave, Heavenly Eagle''s affairs will be entrusted to you. Here is a jar of Hundred Flowers Heavenly Immortal Wine, you take it and slowly savor it."


    Jiang Jadehall''s gaze turned sharp and he stared at Ye Yuan as he said angrily, "You punk, complaining to me daily about how hard up you are, but turns out that you actually hid so much!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I brewed a total of three jars, this is the last jar. The spirit medicines that this Hundred Flowers Heavenly Immortal Wine requires, you''re also aware of it. After finishing this, who knows what year and month you''ll have to wait until to drink it again!"


    The moment Jiang Jadehall heard, his expression calmed down slightly and he said with a cold smile, "You punk, want to use this jar of wine to bribe this envoy?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then will you accept the bribe or not?"


    Jiang Jadehall suddenly cracked and smile, hugging that jar of wine, and said with a big laugh, "Of course I accept! Such a delicious wine, whoever doesn''t drink is a fool! You go ahead, Southridge''s matters, even if you don''t give a heads up, could it be that I can still sit by idly and remain indifferent? It''s just that with Heavenly Eagle Imperial City''s current strength, it doesn''t need me to intervene at all."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This place is my base camp. Not handing it over well, how can I leave with peace of mind?"


    Jiang Jadehall as the Southridge Ten Cities'' patrolling inspector, the authority that he possessed was tremendous.


    Holding power over life and property was up to his whims.


    Jiang Jadehall was not the kind of person who perpetrated whatever evils that he pleased. If not, Southridge Ten Cities would never know peace at all.


    As long as Jiang Jadehall was willing, he could even concoct various pretexts and abolish or establish the lord of a city.


    Hence, with Jiang Jadehall around, Ye Yuan was still very reassured.


    As long as Jiang Jadehall was willing to take care, Heavenly Eagle would have no worries about troubles back at home.


    ...


    "This is Extreme Light Imperial City? Indeed magnificent!"


    After more than ten years, Ye Yuan still stood outside the city gates of Extreme Light Imperial City in the end.


    Waiting for another close to ten years at Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan seriously could not carry on waiting anymore.


    Hence, he left behind Long Zhan to guardHeavenly Eagle, while he himself brought Ning Tianping to Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Extreme Light Imperial City was indeed worthy of the name extreme light. Sunglow surrounded the skies of the city, akin to colored ribbons. It was extremely spectacular.


    Similarly an imperial city, Heavenly Eagle compared to Extreme Light was simply a remote hinterland.


    Of course, the truth was also like this.


    Extreme Light Imperial City belonged under Brilliant True Heavenly Emperor''s command, a different heavenly emperor than Heavenly Eagle.


    The place where Brilliant True Heavenly Emperor resided was naturally much more abundant in spiritual energy.


    Compared to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Extreme Light Imperial City''s spiritual energy was several times more abundant!


    In contrast, Heavenly Eagle was really a remote village.


    "Indeed well-deserving of being the Jian Family''s city. This kind of atmosphere, probably only the Jian Family can create it, right?" Ning Tianping said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The art of viewing auras is indeed peerlessly marvelous!"


    Ning Tianping said, "Your Excellency, where should we go to find Elder Jian?"


    Ye Yuan said, "The last time, he told me that it was a place called Profound Secrets Pavilion. I''m completely clueless about this place too. Let''s enter the city first and take a look at the situation."


    Done talking, the two people paid the costs of entering the city and entered Extreme Light Imperial City.

 1703 Because Your Eyes Didnt Go Blind!

    "This little brother, I see that your bones are special and you''re unusually endowed with talent, but you have an ominous sign! Quick, let me divine for you and help you resolve this disaster!"


    "This little brother, this seat is a Jian Family''s direct lineage successor. I see that your glabella is dark. There must be a great calamity recently! Quickly come to my place and this old man will teach you the method to resolve it."


    "High as mountains and long as rivers, exposed to the winds and rains in travel, Little brother, you''re here to find someone, right?"


    ...


    Within Extreme Light Imperial City, it had a totally unique atmosphere.


    Ye Yuan walked on the streets, feeling like he entered a base camp of conmen and fortunetellers. There was someone pulling him to go divine his fortunes non-stop.


    Some people said it was too profound to understand, making it really seem like the case at first glance.


    "These guys are also too obvious in swindling and bluffing people, right? Will there really be this kind of idiot who will fall for it?" Ye Yuan was speechless as he said to Dustless.


    But Dustless said, "You''re mistaken. They aren''t swindling or bluffing."


    Ye Yuan was surprised when he heard that and said, "No? Could it be that they can really fortune-tell?"


    Dustless nodded and said, "They naturally can! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets'' skill is involved in good fortune. These people peddling on the streets, most have the Jian Family''s bloodline. It''s just thinner. A person whose destiny is too flourishing, they can''t divine it. But how can there be so many people with exuberant destinies? The vast majority of the people are merely mortals. Us cultivators are the most sensitive to matters of good or ill luck and weal or woe. Some martial artists will specifically make a trip to Extreme Light Imperial City before entering a mystic realm to divine their fortunes. How can they come into contact with members of the Jian Family? These people naturally become their first choice. Although it might not be accurate, it can more or less still achieve the goal of pursuing good fortune and avoiding disasters."


    Ye Yuan was also extremely surprised when he heard that, not expecting that there was still so much involved in this.


    These people looked too debased. Hence, it gave him a very unreliable feeling.


    He did not expect that these people actually all had some skill.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked in his heart. Just how powerful was this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets? Even just getting tainted by a tiny bit of bloodline and they could have such divination and scrying skills.


    No wonder the martial artists in Extreme Light Imperial City were so many. It turned out that they were all aiming for the aura viewing art.


    Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could be seen everywhere on the streets.


    Using Divine Lords walking all over the place to describe was also not the least bit of exaggeration.


    "These people should know where the Profound Secrets Pavilion is. Let''s go over and ask," Ye Yuan said to Ning Tianping.


    At this time, a shy little girl came up to greet and said to Ye Yuan weakly, "Sir, fortune-telling? Come to our house, my father still has quite a bit of attainment in the path of divining fortunes."


    Ye Yuan originally had no plans of divining fortunes and was just asking for directions. But this little girl had a pitiful appearance, Ye Yuan somewhat did not have the heart to do so.


    "Then �� fortune-tell then! Tianping, you go," Ye Yuan said.


    Ning Tianping froze and pointed at himself as he said in surprise, "I-I go?"


    Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "Ask you to go, just go, what''s with the nonsense?"


    Ning Tianping nodded and said, "Okay!"


    These stalls were all placed on the streets and could be seen everywhere. One look and it was clear that the level was very low.


    Not far ahead, there were still shop fronts that also had signboards that wrote augury and aura viewing on it. Clearly, they were much more high-end.


    At these stalls, everyone was calling out, vying to pull people to come and fortune-tell.


    Those who dared to yell, the business was all pretty good too.


    Rather, this little girl''s home was deserted, with nobody showing any interest.


    Clearly, the people setting up stalls on the streets, their bloodline were all extremely thin, even the Jian Family would not acknowledge.


    They were forced to make a living. That was why they did this kind of thing.


    Otherwise, with Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s prestige, they would not be reduced to such a plight.


    Ye Yuan went over to take a look, this little girl''s father was actually a cripple. Even walking was somewhat difficult, no wonder he would let a timid little girl go to the streets to pull people.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he stepped forward and said with clasped hands, "Elderly person, give this little brother of mine a good aura viewing and divination."


    This old geezer was very haggard, his face with the vicissitudes of life. Seeing that there were guests, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said to Ning Tianping, "Please sit! I wonder what this little brother is testing?"


    Ning Tianping said, "We came to Extreme Light Imperial City to find people. Elder, just help me to test whether this trip will go well or not!"


    That old man nodded his head, fished out a tortoise shell, and started to infuse divine essence[1].


    A profound divine essence aura spread out, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head inwardly.


    The mysterious aura on this old man was far too weak. Compared to Jian Zhentao, it was simply one up in the heavens, the other down on Earth. No wonder they would end up in such a plight.


    The old man fiddled for a bit, his brows could not help furrowing, and he said, "This little brother, pardon this old man for being blunt, but your trip �� likely won''t go too well. However, you have the help of a noble lord, all troubles can be easily resolved."


    Ning Tianping laughed when he heard that and said, "Haha, then that''s good! Elder, how much?"


    As he said, Ning Tianping was about to pay up, but Ye Yuan''s heart stirred and he asked, "Elder, since you know the art of viewing auras, help me take a look at how my brother''s destiny is."


    The old man nodded his head and mustered up divine essence once more, looking over toward Ning Tianping.


    With this look, his expression could not help changing and he shook his head and said, "Two little brothers, pardon this one for being ignorant, but I truly can''t see through the two of your destinies."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Say whatever there is, don''t need to be apprehensive."


    The old man''s expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "Then �� alright! This little brother, his destiny is exuberant. This old man''s strength is meager and can''t see through it. But with this old man''s experience, his destiny likely won''t be lower than cyan!"


    Ning Tianping was also overjoyed when he heard that. Cyan destiny was already a very high-level destiny.


    The vast majority of martial artists were only yellow destiny and below.


    Looks like ever since encountering His Excellency, his destiny became much more booming!


    Ning Tianping asked, "Then what about �� my lord''s?"


    Seeing Ning Tianping ask, the old man''s expression became even uglier and he said, "This little brother �� has no color. It''s likely �� unranked!"


    The old man looked towards Ye Yuan and there was nothing exciting. The aura viewing art could not stir up a trace of wave at all.


    He had inspected countless people and had never seen before such a poorly endowed person.


    "Hahaha! A trash who can''t even enter the ranks actually dares to come and fortune-tell too! I say, kid, do you still want face or not?"


    Suddenly, a burst of loud laughter sounded out. A young man brought several guards and slowly walked over, a mocking expression on his face.


    The little girl''s expression changed and she hurriedly pushed Ye Yuan away, saying anxiously, "Sir, s-sorry, you hurry up and go!"


    Ye Yuan was naturally not what she could push. He looked at that young master with furrowed brows and said coolly, "You also know the art of viewing auras?"


    That young man seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and said with a big laugh, "I also know? Are you joking? This young master, Jian Yu, is a direct lineage descendant of the Jian Family, do you think I know or not?"


    Ye Yuan came to a realization and said, "Then do you think that my destiny can''t enter the ranks?"


    Jian Yu said disdainfully, "Rubbish! This young master used the art of viewing auras to look just now, a stretch of stagnant waters! This young master has never seen before a person with such inferior aptitude. Aren''t you getting lost in your head there?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then your aura viewing level is too lousy, your skill is still lacking!"


    Jian Yu''s expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Who the hell do you think you are, to dare evaluate this young master''s aura viewing art?"


    As the Jian Family''s direct lineage descendant, Jian Yu was extremely confident in his aura viewing art. Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, he was naturally greatly enraged.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I naturally have the qualifications, because �� your eyes didn''t go blind!"


    [1] Tortoise shells are a ''traditional'' Chinese divination tool.

 1704 Break the Legs, Throw Out!

    "Blind? Pooh! Your eyes are the ones that are blind!"


    Jian Yu was furious when he heard that. This guy was cursing him to go blind!


    Ye Yuan was naturally not cursing him, but that Jian Yu''s aura viewing art was indeed lacking.


    If it was like Jian Zhentao, as long as he look at him continuously, his eyes would definitely be blind.


    It was precisely because his strength was lacking that he could not see through his actual situation, making it seemed like he had no rank.


    That little girl''s father was similarly so.


    Ye Yuan gave him a look and waved his hand and said, "This young master is getting my fortune told. If you want to get your fortunes told, queue up. Not getting it told, immediately get lost, don''t jump up and down here, repulsing people."


    Jian Yu''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, "Brat, you have divination done here already violated this young master''s ban! You dare to oppose my Jian Family?"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled and said, "Ban? What ban is here saying that I can''t get divination done here?"


    Jian Yu''s eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at that young lady and said, "Xiaoran, why don''t �� you tell him what the outcome will be?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, looking at the girlie curiously.


    Ran-er seemed to be like a startled little bunny, her complexion ashen pale, giving people a feeling of unable to help showing tender care when one saw her


    Seeing Ye Yuan use a probing gaze to look over, Ran-er said sobbingly, "S-Sir, sorry, it �� it was all Ran-er who harmed you! You �� You hurry up and go, otherwise �� otherwise they will break your legs! Young Master Jian Yu has warned us father and daughter, saying that if anyone has divination done here, he''ll break their legs!"


    Jian Yu said with a smug look, "Heard that, kid? Don''t blame this young master. Want to blame, blame Xiaoran! Go on, break this punk''s legs for this young master!"


    Over a dozen subordinates rubbed their fists and wiped their palms and surrounded over.


    The surroundings, when everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them could not help revealing a look of reluctance.


    "Sigh, this kid is also unlucky, to actually provoke Jian Yu this great demon king."


    "Xiaoran this lass also has a bitter fate. Their father and daughter duo are being forced into a dead-end!"


    "Who asked Jian Yu this great demon king to unwittingly take fancy on Xiaoran this lass? What sin have they committed?!"


    ...


    Clearly, everyone was very apprehensive of this Jian Yu.


    Right at this time, a figure suddenly dashed out, flying straight for Jian Yu!


    "Jian Yu, I, Zhang Haotian, will fight it out with you! Even if I die, I also won''t give Xiaoran to you!"


    This was extremely sudden. Everyone did not react to it, but it gave Jian Yu a big fright.


    Bang!


    Zhang Haotian collapsed on the ground, fresh blood spewing wildly without ceasing.


    Zhang Haotian was merely a second-layered heaven Divine Lord, one leg was even crippled.


    Jian Yu''s subordinate was also first-layered heaven Divine Lord at the very least. So how could Zhang Haotian be a match?


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    The ins and outs of the matter, he had also roughly figured it out.


    This Jian Yu took fancy of Zhang Xiaoran''s looks and wanted to have her for himself. But Zhang Haotian and Zhang Xiaoran did not agree.


    Hence, even though Jian Yu forbade them father and daughter from setting up a stall, he did not make things difficult for them either. He came up with a lousy rule of beating anyone who came to get a divination.


    When this father and daughter two people had no livelihood, they would naturally give in obediently.


    Zhang Xiaoran was naturally unresigned to it. So taking the chance when Jian Yu was not around, she pulled Ye Yuan over to get his fortunes told.


    She did not know that Jian Yu dispatched informants around them. The moment Ye Yuan sat down, he knew.


    The baffled looking Ye Yuan was swept into this farce without rhyme or reason just like this.


    "Zhang Haotian, you''re courting death! You all, break this kid''s legs for me first, then carry them father and daughter away for me!" Jian Yu said in a great rage.


    "Yes!" The bunch of subordinates received the orders and rushed over towards Ye Yuan glaring like ravening tigers.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Tianping, cripple all of them for me and throw them out!"


    "Yes, my lord!"


    Ning Tianping answered, suddenly releasing the aura of a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord. Everyone''s faces changed.


    When Ye Yuan entered the city, he did not want to be too ostentatious, so he had Ning Tianping restrain his aura.


    Jian Yu also saw that Ning Tianping''s strength was not strong, that was why he was so arrogant.


    How could he have thought that Ning Tianping was actually a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord already at a young age!


    These few years, Ning Tianping''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds following by Ye Yuan''s side. He had long broken through to become a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    The moment he made his move, how could these initial-stage Divine Lord Realm family guards be his match?


    It was only to hear miserable screams linger on incessantly. The entire street instantly became a chaotic mess.


    Ning Tianping did not kill people either. It was just that each person had their legs broken by him.


    These family guards lay on the ground, wailing without ceasing.


    The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded with shock.


    "What background does this young man have? To actually bring alone a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord as his follower!"


    "It''s really funny, this young man''s destiny doesn''t even enter the ranks and is simply a trash. But there''s actually a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord following by his side!"


    "Probably he himself and his family clan doesn''t know at all, right? Coming to Extreme Light Imperial City this time, his true colors will probably be revealed."


    ...


    At the same time, they were marveling at Ning Tianping''s strength. Those stall owners also became curious about Ye Yuan''s identity.


    Quite a few people secretly mustered up divine essence, observing Ye Yuan''s destiny, and discovered that it was indeed a dried-up well without ripples; unable to even stir up a hint of a wave.


    Unranked!


    "Your Excellency, what to do with this guy?" Ning Tianping asked very calmly.


    Jian Yu''s face had long turned white. He completely did not expect that he actually kicked a metal plate this time!


    "You dare to touch this young master? This young master is a member of the Jian Family! If you touch me, that''s climbing on top of the Jian Family''s heads! You have to think about the consequences!" Although Jian Yu was afraid, at the thought of the Jian Family''s strength, his back immediately straightened up.


    Sure enough, the moment Ning Tianping heard, he immediately revealed a look of hesitation.


    They came to seek help from the Jian Family this time. If they offended the Jian Family, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.


    Jian Yu observed his expression and words, and immediately said to Ning Tianping smugly, "Kid, your strength is pretty good, sticking with this young master in the future is definitely much more promising than that good-for-nothing! I''ll tell you very responsibly, that kid is simply a trash who can''t enter the ranks!"


    When Ning Tianping heard that, his face revealed a strange look.


    If His Excellency was trash, then all in this world was waste residue.


    He laughed in spite of himself and said, "Fool, your aura viewing art is really lacking! Wait till you cultivate it entirely and then come and look at His Excellency again. You''ll know why he said that your eyes didn''t go blind!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Still waiting for what? Break his legs and throw him out! Being noisy in this place!"


    Jian Yu''s expression changed greatly when he heard that and said, "You �� You really dare to make a move? You �� You have to think of the consequences well! Those who touch my Jian Family''s members all don''t have a good outcome!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just your bit of strength is also fit to represent the Jian Family? Then the Jian Family really doesn''t have anyone anymore! Tianping, do it!"


    "Yes, my lord!"


    With Ye Yuan''s order, Ning Tianping no longer hesitated, directly sweeping over and breaking Jian Yu''s two legs in no time flat.


    "Argh! Brat, you''ll regret it! Ahh!" On the street, came Jian Yu''s shrill and miserable screams.

 1705 Wait for Him to Come!

    "Well fought!"


    "Beautifully done!"


    "Finally vented this foul breath!"


    "Vented this anger, but with Jian Yu''s temperament, he''ll definitely take revenge!"


    "His elder brother, Jian Ping, is a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion, his strength is very powerful!"


    ...


    When everyone saw Jian Yu''s legs being broken, they immediately felt very appeased, shouts of bravo linking up together.


    This Jian Yu, they normally did not dare to provoke at all. He had always played the tyrant on these few streets.


    Today, someone finally came out to take care of him.


    It was just that they could not help worry for Ye Yuan.


    After all, the Jian Family''s people were not to be trifled with.


    "Sir, it was all Xiaoran''s fault, s-sorry! You hurry up and go! That Jian Yu is very powerful. He won''t let you off!" Zhang Xiaoran supported Zhang Haotian as she said with a rueful look.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but walked in front of Zhang Haotian, and took out a medicinal pill for him to take.


    That kick earlier was very heavy. Zhang Haotian''s injuries were not light and already could not speak.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xiaoran and said with a smile, "Do you want to marry Jian Yu to be a concubine or not?"


    Zhang Xiaoran shook her head repeatedly and said with a decisive look, "I won''t marry him even if I die!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Well, we''ll wait here for him to come."


    Zhang Xiaoran''s expression changed and she waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, Sir, you hurry up and leave! Jian Yu''s elder brother is a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion."


    Ye Yuan revealed a hint of surprise when he heard that and said with a smile, "A member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion? Then perfect, I was just about to go to the Profound Secrets Pavilion."


    When the people beside heard Ye Yuan''s words, they could not help shaking their heads secretly.


    This kid was simply a hothead. He completely did not know what Profound Secrets Pavilion represented in Extreme Light Imperial City!


    "This sir, it was all this old man who dragged you in, truly sorry. You hurry up and go, you really can''t afford to provoke the Profound Secrets Pavilion! At most, this old man will fight it out to the death with them!" Zhang Haotian suddenly said.


    Zhang Xiaoran got a fright. She suddenly discovered that Zhang Haotian''s complexion was ruddy, full of energy. He was actually completely recovered already!


    This medicinal pill was also too miraculous, right?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder, your leg should have been injured by a Flatland Poison Wolf, right?"


    Zhang Haotian froze, already at this point, he still had time to care about his leg?


    Talking up to here, Zhang Haotian evoked a painful memory, tears running down his old face.


    "Dad, don''t blame yourself anymore, this isn''t your fault!" Zhang Xiaoran was also in tears as he said.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this father and daughter''s encounter was actually so tragic.


    However, this was also the true portrayal of ordinary martial artists.


    Not everyone could possess Ye Yuan''s heaven-defying talent and destiny.


    The majority of martial artists were all struggling to survive at the bottom.


    The toxicity of the Flatland Poison Wolf was very fierce and extremely hard to remove.


    Hence, Zhang Haotian''s body aged very quickly too.


    And his leg was also unable to regrow because of the toxins.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "I''ll treat it for you then."


    Zhang Haotian smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why we father and daughter are in such a state of poverty is because of this old man''s leg. These few years, this old man has sought countless medical treatments, but it can''t be cured at all."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s no big deal, just pricking a few needles will do."


    After talking, Ye Yuan took out a set of silver needles and started to apply acupuncture on Zhang Haotian''s severed leg.


    "Kid, don''t show off your skill anymore. Old Zhang''s leg, even Master Li Xiuqing couldn''t treat it, with just the likes of you?"


    "Really don''t come up with a draft when boasting! If it was so easy, wouldn''t Old Zhang''s so many years of suffering be in vain?"


    "Yeah, youngster, you''d better hurry up and leave. In a while, when Jian Ping comes, you won''t be able to leave even if you want to."


    ...


    Ye Yuan said it casually, everyone all felt that he was boasting.


    These few years, Zhang Haotian spent all of his savings in order to seek medical treatment, which also barely managed to maintain the injury.


    Even so, his injury was still continuously deteriorating.


    But very soon, the expressions on everyone''s faces changed.


    Zhang Haotian''s severed leg area started to have black blood ooze out continuously, emitting a pungent and repulsive smell.


    Ye Yuan''s divine fire emerged, completely refining it.


    Under everyone''s astonished eyes, Zhang Haotian''s severed limb actually started re-growing!


    "Really cured! This kid has such formidable means!"


    "Truly a magic hand that restores life! The poison that even Master Li Xiuqing couldn''t cure, he treated it!"


    "I really didn''t expect that this kid is actually an alchemist. No wonder he would have a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse as a follower!"


    ...


    All around, the people around let out a series of exclamations.


    Master Li Xiuqing was already a very famous alchemist in this vicinity. His strength was very powerful.


    Zhang Haotian''s poison wound that even he could not treat, it was basically already sentencing one to death.


    No one could have thought that this unknown young man really cured Zhang Haotian in no time flat.


    Zhang Haotian opened his mouth wide, looking at his own leg in disbelief.


    Ever since coming back from Master Li Xiuqing there, he thought that he would never stand up in this lifetime.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan cured his leg in no time!


    Ye Yuan fished out another medicinal pill, passed it to Zhang Haotian, and said, "Eat this Detoxification Pill. The residual poison in your body will be pretty much cleared. You try standing up."


    Zhang Haotian received the medicinal pill tremblingly and attempted to stand up. Tears rolled down his old face and he said, "S-Sir, you �� you''re really this Zhang''s great benefactor! How much are these two medicinal pills, this old man �� even if this old man risks this life, I''ll also pay the money."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "These medicinal pills, just take it as covering the cost of the divination just now."


    "Who broke my younger brother''s legs, scram outside!" At this time, an icy-cold voice was heard.


    Everyone''s faces changed.


    "It''s Jian Ping! Came so quickly!"


    "Jian Ping is also fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, there''s a good show to watch now."


    "I heard that Jian Ping''s bloodline is very pure. His Profound Spirit Chaos Formula is also cultivated very solidly."


    ...


    The crowd divided, a dashing young man with a valiant bearing walked over.


    This young man had some similarities with Jian Yu at the glabella. He was naturally Jian Ping.


    By the side, Jian Yu was on crutches. At the sight of Ye Yuan, he roared loudly, "Big Brother, it''s that punk! An unranked trash actually dared to break my legs, you have to take revenge for me! Ouch, so painful!"


    "Unranked?"


    Jian Ping''s brows furrowed, looking at Ye Yuan rather curiously. Unable to even enter the ranks and could actually cultivate to the Divine Lord Realm?


    Furthermore, as long as one was a martial artist, they more or less had some destiny.


    Unranked, so how did this fellow survive until now?


    Members of the Jian Family were the most curious about destiny.


    People who were unranked were very seldom-seen!


    Under the urging of his curiosity, Jian Ping could not resist mustering up divine essence, and looked over toward Ye Yuan ��

 1706 Transaction

    "Argh! My eyes!"


    Jian Ping suddenly screamed, covering his eyes with his hands, and fell to the ground in pain.


    This sudden turn of events made everyone stare dumbfoundedly in shock.


    Jian Ping came in a threatening manner, but who would have expect that he only took a look at Ye Yuan and then collapsed.


    What the hell was this?


    Initially, Jian Yu had a pleased look. Suddenly seeing Jian Ping fall down, his entire person was in a daze.


    He completely did not expect that the words he unintentionally said aroused Jian Ping''s curiosity.


    Took a look just like that and he went blind!


    "B-Big Brother, what''s wrong with you? Don''t scare me!" Jian Yu said with a look of shock.


    "Pain! My eyes hurt!" Jian Ping screamed tragically.


    Jian Yu had a petrified look, completely not knowing what had happened.


    All around, the people emitted a series of exclamations.


    "What happened? Just now, Jian Ping used the aura viewing art on that young man, right?"


    "Isn''t his destiny unranked? How did Jian Ping become like this with one glance?"


    "Why are we totally fine when we look at him? No, wait, I remembered, that young man said previously that Jian Yu''s aura viewing art is lacking, could it be ��"


    "He even said that it''s because of this that Jian Yu''s eyes didn''t go blind! This ��"


    ...


    The people abruptly startled awake. Previously, Ye Yuan said that Jian Yu''s eyes were not blinded, so his aura viewing art was still lacking!


    Now, Jian Ping took one look at Ye Yuan and his eyes went blind!


    Which was also to say that it was not that this young man''s destiny failed to enter the ranks, but because �� it was too strong!


    What kind of destiny would be so strong?


    That was at least �� imperial aura!


    Everyone was incomparably shocked in their hearts. This young man before their eyes, could it be that he was in possession of the legendary imperial aura?


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Yu and said with a smile, "Looks like his skill is much more profound than yours, so �� he went blind. But you, you don''t even have the qualifications to be blinded."


    Jian Yu''s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    He finally understood now what the words Ye Yuan said before meant.


    He also finally understood why Big Brother would suddenly be like this.


    "You �� You''re actually of the legendary imperial aura! This �� This is impossible!" Jian Yu cried out weirdly.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I also don''t know whether or not it''s the imperial aura, because currently, no one can tell me yet."


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan was very speechless too.


    He also wanted to know just what destiny he was. But sadly, even Jian Zhentao, such a powerful existence, directly went blind after taking a look.


    Jian Yu''s expression changed several times. These words �� sounded so arrogant!


    But, if it was the imperial aura, the Profound Secrets Pavilion would treat him as a guest of honor.


    Then this guy could not be offended anymore!


    One had to know, people possessing imperial aura, barring no accidents, they would all be powerhouses who inspired awe in a region.


    This kind of people, even the Jian Family had to make friends with him.


    After all, Extreme Light Imperial City was just an imperial city. Even though it was the Jian Family''s territory, the strongest here was also merely Celestial Deity Realm only.


    Making friends with future powerhouses, this was also an important reason for the Jian Family''s power.


    Because they had ''wisdom eyes,'' which others were not equipped with, that they knew how to make their choice.


    At the same time, members of the Jian Family were also snobbish. If your destiny was lacking, they would not even be bothered to give you a glance.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Jian Ping. Jian Yu''s face changed, and he said in panic, "W-What do you want to do? I''m warning you, my big brother is a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion. If you dare to touch a single strand of hair of his, you absolutely can''t leave the city alive!"


    Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to look at him. He knelt down and said to Jian Ping, "You''re called Jian Ping, right? How about we make a deal?"


    Experiencing the initial-most pain, Jian Ping was already much better now. But his eyes could not open, shedding the same blood tears as Jian Zhentao.


    How could he still not understand at this time that this young man in front of him was someone with extremely exuberant destiny!


    But this guy blinded his eyes!


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Jian Ping launched an attack!


    "Go to hell! Who wants to make a deal with you?!" Jian Ping said with a hideous grin.


    This scene was too sudden, fast until everyone did not react to it.


    All around were cries of exclamations.


    "Sir, be careful!''


    Zhang Haotian''s and Zhang Xiaoran''s faces turned ashen pale, crying out in shock.


    Bang!


    The floorboards cracked and debris flew everywhere.


    The violent attack of a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, how shocking was the commotion?


    Everyone''s heart sunk to rock-bottom. They did not expect that Jian Ping was actually so despotic, to actually directly deal a killing blow.


    Ye Yuan and Jian Ping were too close. Furthermore, the strength difference was enormous. Wanting to avoid was simply something impossible.


    Under this punch, how could Ye Yuan still be alive?


    "Hahaha, what dog-fart imperial aura? Isn''t he still beaten to death by me with one punch?" Jian Ping said with a savage laugh.


    Ye Yuan blinding his eyes was equivalent to ruining his future. So how could he not be furious?


    Moreover, this guy even broke his younger brother''s legs.


    This kind of guy, even if he had an imperial aura, it would not do either!


    "Sigh! Pity this young man, the legendary imperial aura!"


    "He wanted to stand up for Zhang Haotian father and daughter, but he also doesn''t think about how powerful the Profound Secrets Pavilion is."


    "Someone who overestimates his own strength. A first-layered heaven Divine Lord was actually so close to a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, what is it if not courting death?"


    ...


    In the crowd, some people lamented, some people felt that Ye Yuan was too inexperienced.


    Zhang Xiaoran''s legs turned soft, directly sitting down on the ground.


    This sudden turn of events made her unable to stand.


    "Your eyes suffered the backlash of Heavenly Dao. Even if cured, it''s also very hard to recover to the peak. Don''t you �� want to be cured?"


    At this time, amidst the dust, a voice sounded out faintly.


    Everyone had astonished faces. This kid �� was not dead?


    How was this possible?


    Jian Ping was currently laughing loudly without ceasing. Suddenly his smile froze on his face, a look of astonishment on his face.


    "You �� How could you possibly not be dead?" Jian Ping said in shock.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''re still a bit too unskilled to want to kill me. At this time, you should be grateful that you''re a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion. Otherwise �� you''re already a dead man. Uh, enough nonsense, we''d better talk about our deal. I''ll help you treat your eyes, but you brothers must swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you''re not allowed to find trouble with Zhang Haotian father and daughter again in the future."


    Jian Ping''s entire body trembled and he said, "You �� You can cure my eyes?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I can naturally cure it! In fact, I still have an objective for coming to Extreme Light Imperial City this time. It''s to help Jian Zhentao, Elder Jian, treat his eyes."


    Jian Ping trembled again and said in disbelief, "Elder Jian''s eyes, could it be because he used the aura viewing art on you?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right! This transaction, do you agree?"


    Jian Ping''s heart was shocked until it could not be any greater.


    Elder Jian answered the invitation of Riverluck Capital City the last time and went to host an auction. After coming back, his eyes went blind. Until now, it was not healed too.


    But Jian Ping never thought that Elder Jian was actually blinded by looking at Ye Yuan!

 1707 Next Deal

    Jian Ping naturally had no reason to say no!


    Even though Jian Yu was extremely reluctant, he also knew that Big Brother''s eyes were very important.


    Being helpless, he could only swear the Heavenly Dao oath.


    Regarding this, Zhang Haotian was extremely agitated. Pulling his daughter Zhang Xiaoran, they knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a thud.


    "This old man �� This old man kneels in thanks to Sir''s grace of rebirth!''


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped up Zhang Haotian father and daughter and said with a smile, "Elder is too courteous. Xiaoran is obedient and sensible. It would be a pity to be defiled by a bad guy. It''s merely a matter of lifting a finger. Elder, don''t need to take it to heart. However, your divination skill is indeed proficient. This actually all came true, huhu."


    Zhang Haotian blushed with shame. He also did not expect that Ye Yuan''s trouble was actually answered by him.


    Zhang Haotian was an external surname member of the Jian Family, his bloodline very thin. But his divination was indeed very accurate.


    Rather, Jian Yu listened by the side until his face turned green.


    What was being defiled by a bad guy?


    "Hey, do you know how to speak human language or not? What''s with that phrase being defiled by a bad guy?!" Jian Yu said in great rage.


    Ye Yuan turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Saying that you''re a bad guy, you ask if they have objections?"


    Jian Yu''s expression changed. Sweeping a glance over, he discovered that everyone all had approving looks and could not help saying in a great rage, "Looking at what? Keep looking and your eyeballs will be dug out!"


    Everyone''s expressions changed slightly, restraining themselves.


    "Pfft!" Zhang Xiaoran could not hold back and immediately laughed.


    "Blabbering on for what? Still not treating my eyes?" Jian Ping said with an annoyed look.


    "Also my legs!" Jian Yu added.


    Ning Tianping''s blow was very heavy. It was naturally impossible to let Jian Yu to recover using divine essence.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Your legs aren''t in the deal."


    Jian Yu said furiously, "You!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "This place isn''t convenient, you bring me to the Profound Secrets Pavilion. Just nice, I want to go and see Elder Jian."


    Jian Ping gave a cold snort and directly turned around and left.


    Ye Yuan brought Ning Tianping and followed closely behind.


    Before long, the few people arrived at a very magnificent palace. ''Profound Secrets Pavilion'', these three words were written on it!


    "Deacon Jian, what''s wrong with you?" When the guard saw the Jian Ping shedding blood tears, he could not help coming up to greet with his face pale with fright.


    Jian Ping waved his hand and said, "Nothing. Bring us to the back-hall, he''s going to treat my eyes!"


    Entering a side-hall, Jian Ping instructed, "You go and guard outside, don''t let people disturb us!"


    "Yes!" That guard answered and immediately went out.


    "Quickly do it! I''m warning you, if any hidden ailment is left behind in my eyes, I''ll make you die very horribly! Don''t forget, this place is the Profound Secrets Pavilion!" Jian Ping said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax, this Ye has never failed when making a move before."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took out silver needles and stuck needles around Jian Ping''s eyes.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Open your eyes!"


    Jian Ping''s eyelids twitched and opened both eyes rather nervously.


    Indeed, he could see!


    He was incomparably shocked in his heart. This punk''s medical skills were truly extraordinary, to actually be able to cure the backlash of Heavenly Dao!


    One had to know, Jian Zhentao''s eyes had already been blinded for almost 200 years and no one could treat it.


    This kid was actually really able to cure it!


    "Big Brother, you �� you can see?" Jian Yu asked rather agitatedly.


    If Big Brother''s eyes were blind, he would be bound to lose his standing in the Profound Secrets Pavilion. Then he would also lose his greatest reliance.


    Jian Ping nodded his head and said, "Can see!"


    Finished talking, he attempted to revolve the Profound Spirit Chaos Formula and looked over toward Jian Yu. Sure enough, he saw a faint orange-colored aura.


    This time, he did not dare to look at Ye Yuan anymore.


    This kid was too sinister.


    However �� this younger brother of his was really useless!


    Piled on so much resources and he was still just first-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Orange destiny, his accomplishments in his lifetime would also be like this.


    "Can see!" Jian Ping nodded his head and said.


    Jian Yu said with an excited look, "Really can see! Couldn''t tell that this brat really has some capability!"


    Jian Ping looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile, "He is capable, but �� all come in for me!"


    Bang!


    A large group of people burst open the door and entered, directly blocking Ye Yuan two people in this side-hall.


    These people were actually all middle-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouses!


    Jian Ping looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Punk, you wouldn''t really think that I''d let you off, would you? This young master can don''t find trouble with those two, but you �� must die!"


    Turned out that when he entered just now, Jian Ping secretly signaled that guard and had him summon people over.


    When Jian Yu saw this scene, he shouted excitedly, "Hahaha, Big Brother, kill him! Kill him! This guy is too cocky! Punk, this time, you can''t escape even if you grow wings, right?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Ping and said coolly, "Jian Ping, if you kill me, no one will treat Elder Jian''s eyes anymore."


    Jian Ping sneered and said, "Elder Jian? Pooh! That useless old man''s eyes are already blind. Do you think that he can still be the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s elder? Moreover �� heh heh, you probably don''t know, but that old bastard is at odds with my eldest senior brother. I''m eagerly looking forward to seeing his eyes not get better!"


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that Jian Zhentao actually already lost power now because of that one glance.


    Moreover, he was even on very bad terms of Jian Ping''s eldest senior brother.


    Looks like the struggle of power was the same everywhere!


    Just like the struggle between the Pill Tower''s head elder and second elder back then, it lasted for as long as several tens of thousands of years.


    This Profound Secrets Pavilion seemed to be a place that transcended worldliness, but it also could not rise above conventions.


    Places with people would have conflicts, it was indeed true.


    "Haha, kid, are you feeling despair now? Kneel down and beg me, maybe �� I can still let you live!" Jian Ping laughed wantonly as he said.


    Just now, on the streets, both brothers lost a huge amount of face. Now, not gaining back any ground, where would his face be put?


    Ning Tianping had a mocking look on his face and did not mean to worry at all.


    He knew that His Excellency definitely would not be without contingencies and just come in so recklessly.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan looked at Jian Ping very calmly and said coolly, "Alright, I understand. Next, we can discuss another transaction."


    Jian Ping was taken aback, following that, laughed loudly as he said, "Still making a deal with Your Father? Are you dumb? Now, what can you still use to make a deal with me?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Forgot to tell you, but before applying acupuncture on you, I just used it to let out Zhang Haotian''s blood. And he �� was afflicted with the Flatland Poison Wolf''s poison many years ago. To this date, he was unable to get rid of it. Just now, I left in a hurry and forgot to clean the residual poison on the needles. Uh �� it''s fine, you can do it. Either way, the residual poison on the needles isn''t much, you shouldn''t die. At most, it will just be like Zhang Haotian, aging a little faster, that''s all. Also, although your eyes are fine right now, it will be hard to guarantee that they will be fine in the future."


    Ye Yuan said very calmly, but Jian Ping''s expression became increasingly uglier.

 1708 How Can You Be So Strong?

    "Humph! Do you think that you can scare me with a few words?" Jian Ping said with a grim expression.


    No idea why, after Ye Yuan said this, his eyes actually started to itch a little. No idea whether was it a psychological effect or not.


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "Don''t you know that the ones who can''t be offended the most are alchemists? I can treat you, so naturally, I can cure you to death too."


    By the side, Jian Yu suddenly said rather nervously, "Big Brother, Zhang Haotian was indeed poisoned by the Flatland Poison Wolf''s poison. But I saw just now that his severed limb actually regrew! It �� It should be real!"


    Jian Ping''s expression changed. His eyes were becoming even more unbearably itchy, and he could not resist rubbing it twice.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he saw the situation and said, "Now, can we discuss the next transaction?"


    Jian Ping''s face fell and he said, "What do you want?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Bring me to see Elder Jian!"


    Jian Ping''s expression was grim until it was virtually about to drip water. This kid simply drove people nuts.


    You clearly already cornered him, yet, you had to be counter-bitten by him.


    He actually still had to be at his mercy in his own lair!


    This foul breath backlogged in his heart really made people uncomfortable!


    But he had no choice but to hold it in.


    The Flatland Poison Wolf''s poison was famed for being bone-infesting, overwhelming people with distress. It tormented people the most. Furthermore, it was extremely difficult to remove.


    His eye area was poisoned. In the future, he might very likely become a blind man again!


    Ye Yuan being able to cleanse poison, he did not doubt it at all.


    He could even cure Heavenly Dao backlash, so this bit of poison was naturally nothing.


    But bringing him to go see Jian Zhentao just like this, he was also unwilling in his heart.


    Really a painful decision!


    Finally, Jian Ping gritted his teeth and said, "Consider yourself ruthless!"


    ...


    Jian Ping led Ye Yuan to a very small house and said in a solemn voice, "This is it!"


    Ye Yuan looked at this house and could not help being somewhat stunned.


    A ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord, to an imperial city, their status was very lofty.


    However, Jian Zhentao was actually staying in such a tiny house. It was seriously shabby!


    Seemed like these few years, Jian Zhentao probably suffered quite a bit of ostracism.


    Ye Yuan walked to the door, mustered up divine essence, and said in a clear voice, "Junior Ye Yuan, request an audience with Senior Jian Zhentao."


    Before long, an aged voice came from inside. "Huhu, I was wondering who it was. Turns out that it''s Little Friend Ye Yuan. Please, come in!"


    Clearly, Jian Zhentao also thought for a long time before recalling who Ye Yuan was.


    One had to know, Jian Zhentao ending up in such a plight was entirely thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not do anything, how many in this world were truly able to let it go?


    If it were others, they were most likely going to blame this on them.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Jian Zhentao was actually so open-minded.


    "Now, you can get rid of the poison for me, right?" Jian Ping said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan casually threw out a medicinal pill and said coolly, "Take it and eat."


    Jian Ping received the medicinal pill and said in a cold voice, "On what basis should I trust you?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Do you think that everyone in this world is as shameless as you? If you don''t believe, you can naturally find someone better qualified."


    As he said, Ye Yuan was about to push the door and enter.


    Right at this time, a hint of cold light flashed in Jian Ping''s eyes and he suddenly launched an attack!


    Another sneak attack!


    This palm was quick as lightning. Jian Ping erupted with his full power, wanting to kill Ye Yuan with one palm.


    "Nirvana Seal!"


    What answered him was a powerful seal art!


    Ye Yuan''s back seemed to have grown eyes, suddenly hitting out a seal.


    Rumble!


    A massive rumble transmitted over. Jian Ping''s entire person flew out backward, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood with a cough.


    He looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of shock.


    How could a second-layered heaven Divine Lord possibly send him flying with one seal mark?


    After so many years, Ye Yuan expended God knows how many medicinal pills and finally forcefully pushed his realm to the second-layered heaven Divine Vortex Realm.


    He''s current strength could already rival fifth-layered heaven Divine Lords and not fall into a disadvantageous situation.


    The moment the Nirvana Seal emerged, who could contend!


    Jian Ping''s unwillingness in his heart, how could Ye Yuan not perceive it? He had long guarded against Jian Ping.


    The Nirvana Seal against Jian Ping''s ordinary palm, it was without any suspense.


    "Impossible! You �� How can you be so strong?" Jian Ping said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Ping coldly and said, "I said it before, if you weren''t a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion, you''d long be a dead man already! Do you think that I''d be so patient to deal with a trash like you? Get lost!"


    Jian Ping crawled to his feet, gnashed his teeth in hatred as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, "Punk, just you wait for me! Opposing me, Jian Ping, you''ll get to know the outcome soon!"


    Finished talking, Jian Ping clutched his wound and ran away.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed.


    Ning Tianping also frowned and said, "Your Excellency, this Jian Ping''s background is deep, I''m afraid ��"


    How could Ye Yuan not know that Jian Ping had a deep background? Otherwise, with his temper, he would have long killed him.


    But on this trip, he was asking help from the profound secrets pavilion. Unless it was a last resort, he did not wish to fall out with the other party.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "When soldiers come, use a general to hold them off. When the water rises, use dirt to keep it back. Go in."


    Pushing the door and entering, the house was not large. But Ye Yuan seemed to have entered a small farmyard.


    Inside the small yard, flowers and plants were planted everywhere, refreshing and delightful.


    An old man was currently clearing the weeds.


    In this bustling city, there was actually a feeling of relaxing vigilance, being like clouds without a fixed abode.


    This old man was naturally Jian Zhentao.


    "Not seeing for 200 years, has Little Friend Ye Yuan been well?" Jian Zhentao put down the hoe and said to Ye Yuan with a smile.


    It was just that that pair of eyes were still tightly shut.


    He was slightly astonished in his heart. He could clearly sense two people''s auras. One of them was a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord, the other �� he actually could not see through.


    As if �� it was a stretch of chaos.


    The divine essence undulation outside just now, he clearly felt it too.


    That was the showdown between two fifth-layered heaven Divine Lords. No matter how good Ye Yuan''s talent was, it was also not possible to be a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord''s match currently.


    Hence, he did not pay attention either.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior hasn''t been doing well. Haven''t I come to request help from Senior?"


    Jian Zhentao was somewhat surprised as he said, "Oh? What''s the matter?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My matter isn''t in a rush. Rather, Senior''s otherworldly and idle days made Ye Yuan very surprised!"


    Jian Zhentao stroked his beard and smiled as he said, "Do you feel that this old man should be dispirited and eking out a miserable existence right now, waiting to die?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, it was Ye Yuan who judged with the yardstick of a petty man! Senior''s breadth of mind is extensive, Ye Yuan admires!"


    Jian Zhentao smiled and said, "What you said is right too! Our two eyes hold extraordinary meaning to our Jian family members. Losing our two eyes is equivalent to exhausting our future. But later on, this old man gradually thought things through. Hence, I lived this kind of reclusive life. Presently, I gradually understood something."


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up and he said in surprise, "Senior actually �� touched the threshold of Celestial Deity Realm!"


    Jian Zhentao nodded and smiled as he said, "These few years, I''ve indeed had some comprehension. But to talk about breaking through, I likely still need some more time."

 1709 Shielding Heavens Secrets

    "Huhu, looks like Junior came in time. Lucky that Senior hasn''t broken through. Otherwise, the backlash of Heavenly Dao will make your eyes more serious and I''d be powerless to do anything as well," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Jian Zhentao''s entire body trembled and he said, "W-What do you mean?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Coming this time, it''s firstly to request help from Senior. Secondly �� it''s naturally to help Senior treat your eyes as well."


    Jian Zhentao said in surprise, "You mean that �� this old man''s eyes actually still have hope of restoring sight?"


    Heavenly Dao''s backlash was Heavenly Dao''s punishment to martial artists. It was naturally impossible to heal easily.


    Jian Zhentao had long given up hope, so his entire person became open-minded too.


    It was also because of this that his mind became illuminated and touched that layer of fleeting and ephemeral Heavenly Dao instead.


    Originally, with Jian Zhentao''s talent, it was very hard to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    But now, Ye Yuan told him that his eyes had hope of restoring sight again. This made his long motionless heart stir up ripples once more.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The last time, at Riverluck Capital City, Ye Yuan did not know whether I could break through to rank four or not. My divine essence wasn''t sufficient to support applying acupuncture. So I didn''t mention it to senior."


    Jian Zhentao said excitedly, "In that case, you already broke through now? No wonder, wonder when I felt your aura, it''s somewhat different. I really didn''t expect it! Really didn''t expect it! This old man''s eyes actually still have hope of seeing the light again!"


    Jian Zhentao''s strength was much stronger than Jian Ping. So his backlash was naturally much more severe than Jian Ping''s.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he had to go through a great deal of trouble before he let Jian Zhentao see the light anew.


    When Jian Zhentao opened his eyes, his eyeballs regained their liveliness once more.


    Everything returned to the past!


    Jian Zhentao looked at Ye Yuan gratefully and said, "These 200 years, this old man thought that I''ve long been at ease. Didn''t expect �� when this day arrives, this old man is still unable to keep calm! Little Friend Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is too serious. Your eyes were originally due to Ye Yuan. How can Ye Yuan look on with folded arms."


    Jian Zhentao shook his head and said, "This old man looking at you with the aura viewing art, that was this old man''s problem, how can it be blamed on you? There''s no such logic! Oh, right, what did you come to find this old man for?"


    Mentioning this, Ye Yuan controlled his expression and became solemn.


    Ye Yuan said the purpose of his trip, but Jian Zhentao''s brows knitted together.


    Jian Zhentao smiled bitterly and said, "Come, this old man will divine for you. You''ll understand!"


    Ye Yuan had a puzzled look. It was only to see Jian Zhentao take out several copper coins.


    These coppers coins were naturally not ordinary items but made with special materials.


    Ye Yuan looked over, they were actually a set of divine lord mystic treasure!


    Jian Zhentao slowly mustered up the Profound Spirit Chaos Formula and injected divine essence into the copper coins.


    Very soon, a series of dense vapor curled upwards. The entire house was filled with a mysterious aura.


    Ye Yuan was secretly alarmed. Jian Zhentao taking action was indeed extraordinary.


    Zhang Haotian''s divination was considered pretty good already. But in front of Jian Zhentao, it was completely not enough to look at!


    However, when Ye Yuan saw this situation, he also faintly looked forward to it, hoping that Jian Zhentao could help him find Li-er their news.


    However, the results turned out contrary to his expectations.


    Crack!


    "Puhwark!"


    Right at this time, a crisp sound echoed. Those few copper coins actually directly snapped!


    While Jian Zhentao himself spewed out a large mouthful of blood, dyeing his chest red.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed greatly and he hurriedly went up to support Jian Zhentao and said, "Senior, this �� what''s going on?"


    Jian Zhentao waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. He said with a bitter smile, "Sure enough, like I thought!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression was ugly to the extreme as he said, "Senior, what''s going on?"


    Jian Zhentao said, "The more exuberant one''s destiny, the higher the requirement of the person performing the divination too! Little Friend Ye Yuan, your destiny is too exuberant. It''s very likely the legendary imperial aura. Everything regarding you is a mystery! Your destiny shielded heaven''s secrets, there''s no way of prying into it at all. Otherwise, this old man also wouldn''t have received a backlash from Heavenly Dao with one glance. This divination is naturally the same principle too."


    Ye Yuan''s heart plunged fiercely to rock-bottom.


    If it was like this, in the sea of faces, where should he go to find people?


    An emotion called despair rose in Ye Yuan''s heart.


    "Senior, this �� could it be that there''s no other way?" Ye Yuan said unwillingly.


    Jian Zhentao said, "Your situation, there''s probably only inviting the pavilion lord to personally take action! It''s just that ��"


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "Senior, can the pavilion lord divine it?"


    Jian Zhentao nodded and said, "Pavilion Lord''s cultivation method understands the mystery of good fortune. His attainments in augury are exceedingly accomplished. If he''s willing to take action, there is some hope."


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed and said, "As long as I can invite the pavilion lord to take action, Ye Yuan is willing to pay any price."


    Jian Zhentao slowly nodded and said, "Forget it, I''ll go and give it a try."


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Many thanks, Senior! I''ll help you treat your injuries first!"


    Toward Jian Zhentao, Ye Yuan was still very grateful in his heart.


    Just now, Jian Zhentao had clearly long expected the result, but he was afraid that he would feel that he was brushing him off, and still help him to divine.


    In the end, even the divine lord mystic treasure was broken, and he even sustained injuries.


    This friendship, Ye Yuan had no choice but to accept it.


    Treating Jian Zhentao, he brought Ye Yuan to the Profound Secrets Pavilion.


    When people saw Jian Zhentao, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    "This �� Isn''t this Elder Jian Zhentao? His eyes are actually healed!"


    "Truly inconceivable! Suffering Heavenly Dao''s backlash and already became a cripple. Who is so formidable, to actually be able to cure his eyes?"


    "Heh heh, there''s something worth watching now! Elder Jian Zhentao returning domineeringly, the Profound Secrets Pavilion is going to get lively again."


    ...


    Because Jian Zhentao''s two eyes were already crippled and he was certain to become a cripple, that was why he would leave and live in seclusion.


    Being unable to use the aura viewing art was equivalent to a cripple in the Profound Secrets Pavilion.


    "Jian Zhentao, what did you come to the Profound Secrets Pavilion for? Mn? Your eyes �� can see?"


    At this time, an old man suddenly appeared in front, blocking the three people''s path.


    But when he saw that Jian Zhentao''s eyes actually regained sight, he turned pale with fright.


    Jian Zhentao looked at the arrival and said with a cold smile, "Yeah, Jian Shaoning. You''re very disappointed, right?"


    Clearly, the two were on very bad terms.


    Back then, when Jian Zhentao went blind, it was Jian Shaoning who did his best to suppress and squeeze him out of the elder''s association.


    Now, Jian Zhentao actually returned domineeringly, how could he not be alarmed?


    Jian Shaoning''s expression changed, and he said with a cold snort, "Did you forget the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s rules? What''s the deal with bringing two strangers here?"


    "Elder Senior Brother!" Right at this time, another voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan turned his head to look, who was it if not Jian Ping?


    Truly, enemies met on a narrow path!

 1710 Domineering

    When Jian Ping saw Ye Yuan, he said with a cold smile, "It''s you! Heh heh, enemies really meet on a narrow path!"


    Jian Shaoning''s brows furrowed and he said, "Junior Brother, you know each other?"


    Jian Ping smiled and said, "More than knowing each other! Heh heh, my eyes were almost blinded by this kid! Eldest Senior Brother, no matter what this punk is here for, don''t agree with what he wants!"


    Jian Shaoning chuckled and said, "That''s for sure, still need Junior Brother to say?"


    Ye Yuan''s face turned cold, his eyes when looking at Jian Ping was full of coldness.


    This guy was seeking death to the end!


    If the last trace of hope of him getting Li-er''s news was cut off, even if offending the entire Extreme Light Imperial City, he would also have to kill this guy.


    Being looked at by Ye Yuan like this, not only did Jian Ping not have the least bit of awareness, he instead had a provocative look as he said, "Brat, are you very angry right now? Heh heh, it''s useless, this is the outcome of offending this young master!"


    Jian Zhentao''s face fell and he said, "Move aside, I''m going to request an audience with Pavilion Lord!"


    Jian Shaoning sneered when he heard that and said, "Jian Zhentao, don''t you forget your identity! You''re no longer the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s elder currently, what right do you have to go and meet Pavilion Lord?"


    Jian Zhentao''s face fell and he said, "This old man isn''t an elder, but also didn''t withdraw out of the Profound Secrets Pavilion! Jian Shaoning, if you dare to block my path, then you and I will have a battle today!"


    Jian Shaoning laughed loudly and said, "Fight then, am I scared of you?"


    Jian Ping smiled coldly and said, "Jian Zhentao, you''re my eldest senior brother''s defeated foe. Raising flowers and grasses for 200 years, why? Fortified your ambition?"


    Jian Zhentao ignored Jian Ping and looked at Jian Shaoning as he said, "Are you giving way or not?"


    "Not giving way, can you do anything to me?" Jian Shaoning said with a disdainful look.


    Jian Zhentao gave a cold snort and suddenly smacked a palm out.


    Jian Shaoning laughed coldly and directly met it. The two people instantly clashed together.


    "Heh, this is also too fast! Elder Jian Zhentao has just come back and already went to war with Elder Jian Shaoning."


    "But Elder Zhentao isn''t Elder Shaoning''s match at all, this is inviting humiliation!"


    "He''s doing it for that kid, right? Wonder who he is, to actually stand up for him like this."


    ...


    The battle between two great elders immediately attracted a lot of people to surround and watch.


    But everyone was not very optimistic about Jian Zhentao. After all, the two people had exchanged blows in the past, Jian Zhentao had fewer wins and more losses.


    But very soon, everyone discovered something amiss.


    The moment they started, Jian Shaoning discovered that something was wrong.


    This Jian Zhentao seemed to be different from in the past!


    Bang!


    Suddenly, Jian Zhentao smacked a palm out, directly blasting Jian Shaoning flying out.


    Jian Shaoning''s essence sea churned, looking at Jian Zhentao with a look of disdain as he said, "You �� You actually touched that threshold!"


    Jian Zhentao said coolly, "I still need to thank you! If not for you kicking me out of the Profound Secrets Pavilion, I''d probably also just be ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord in this lifetime, right? To really talk about it, Little Friend Ye Yuan, the source of this matter is still on you! Thinking about it now, Little Friend Ye Yuan has deep fortunes, I benefited from your light!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "It''s Senior whose fate should be so. How is there Ye Yuan''s credit?"


    Jian Zhentao shook his head and said, "Members of my Jian Family believe in this kind of destiny the most. My strength is feeble and can''t see through, but I can also guess some of it. Alright, let''s go."


    Jian Shaoning''s expression was incomparably ugly as he said in angrily, "Jian Zhentao! Don''t you dare!"


    Jian Zhentao brought Ye Yuan and walked past from the side, disinclined to even give him a glance.


    Without warning, a horrifying aura descended from the sky!


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan three people were akin to being struck by lightning, directly spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "Celestial Deity powerhouse!" Ye Yuan''s face changed and he gritted his teeth and said.


    Clearly, this Celestial Deity powerhouse was not friendly.


    Ahead, a figure slowly walked out, gaze like lightning.


    The moment Jian Shaoning and Jian Ping saw, they could not help saying with joy, "Master!"


    Jian Zhentao''s expression similarly changed and he exclaimed, "Grand Elder Tianhua!"


    Jian Tianhua looked at Jian Zhentao coldly and said in a solemn voice, "Zhentao, you''re becoming more and more unruly! Is there still me, this grand elder, in your eyes?"


    Jian Zhentao''s expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhentao �� Zhentao doesn''t dare!"


    In front of a Celestial Deity powerhouse, Jian Zhentao had no confidence at all.


    Jian Tianhua gave a cold snort and said, "You don''t dare? If I didn''t come, were you going to tear down this Profound Secrets Pavilion? Mn?"


    A calm talk, but with the words fused with the pressure of a Celestial Deity powerhouse. Jian Zhentao spewed out another mouthful of old blood.


    "Even if your two eyes regained sight, you still haven''t regained the position of elder currently. You actually dared to attack a Profound Secrets Pavilion''s elder? Who gave you such gall? Mn?" Jian Tianhua said in a cold voice.


    By the side, the others were silent like cicadas in winter.


    While Jian Shaoning and Jian Ping had excited looks. With Jian Tianhua standing up for them, their waist immediately toughened up.


    "Master, Jian Zhentao insisted on bringing this unknown brat to see the pavilion lord just now. I stopped him and he attacked me; simply unbridled in his truculence!" Jian Shaoning reproached angrily.


    Jian Tianhua gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a cold snort, "Pavilion Lord comprehends heaven''s secrets every day, so how could he have time to meet an irrelevant kid? Zhentao, you''re becoming more and more absurd! Come, men! Detain Jian Zhentao into jail and imprison for 30 years, so as to punish him!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, he did not expect for matters to reach such a state.


    In front of a Celestial Deity powerhouse, he did not have the slightest capital to resist at all.


    This Jian Tianhua was clearly intentionally suppressing Jian Zhentao in order to stand up for his disciples.


    But he was a Celestial Deity powerhouse, and none of them had the capital to rebut at all!


    "Senior, this doesn''t concern Senior Zhentao. It was this Ye who made him bring me to go request an audience with the pavilion lord with treating his eyes as the condition! If Senior wants to punish, just let it fall on this Ye!" Ye Yuan blocked in front of Jian Zhentao and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    If not for the sake of meeting the pavilion lord, Ye Yuan would have long fallen out now.


    But in order to get Li-er''s news, he had to endure!


    If he even offended a Celestial Deity powerhouse, he would likely really have no chance anymore.


    Jian Tianhua looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "This is my Profound Secrets Pavilion''s internal affair! Who the hell are you, to dare intervene in this seat''s affairs? Also, you arbitrarily barged into the Profound Secrets Pavilion, could it be that you still want to escape this seat''s punishment? None of you three can escape!"


    Finished talking, Jian Tianhua''s body gave off a peerlessly powerful world power and crushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion turned deathly pale all at once!


    This was the world power belonging to a third-layered heaven Celestial Deity, how powerful was it?


    Ye Yuan secretly revolved chaos divine essence, forcefully resisting this pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas.


    Jian Tianhua was slightly surprised in his heart, not expecting that a measly little second-layered heaven Divine Lord could actually withstand his pressure.


    He sneered inwardly and was just about to make a move to take Ye Yuan down when a nonchalant voice suddenly echoed in the Profound Secrets Pavilion.


    "Tianhua, let him come up!"


    Jian Tianhua''s expression changed, his eyes full of doubt, as he said unwillingly, "Yes, Pavilion Lord!"

 1711 Aura of Emperor, Surmounting the World!

    "It''s Pavilion Lord! He actually wants to meet this kid. Who on earth is he?"


    "Pavilion Lord actually wants to meet a second-layered heaven Divine Lord, I didn''t hear wrongly, right?"


    "This �� This is shooting down Grand Elder Tianhua''s face in public! This kid has such incredible face, to actually be worthy of Pavilion Lord personally standing up for him."


    ...


    For some time, everyone used astonished gazes to look over toward Ye Yuan, trying to guess his identity.


    The pavilion lord was not what anyone could meet.


    Even if one was a Celestial Deity powerhouse, wanting to meet the pavilion lord was also not an easy thing, let alone a second-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    But today, he actually made an exception!


    It was very hard for the members of Profound Secrets Pavilion to not guess.


    Especially Jian Tianhua, the expression on his face was very ugly.


    He also rarely showed face. Today, he finally showed face to suppress Jian Zhentao. But he did not expect that he had his face personally slapped by the pavilion lord.


    So many people looking, he, this grand elder, felt a huge loss in face!


    But the pavilion lord''s order, he had no choice but to follow.


    Jian Shaoning and Jian Ping two people were currently being pleased with themselves, but then they were thrown into bewilderment by the pavilion lord''s one sentence.


    What capability did this kid have, to actually be able to have Pavilion Lord personally stand up for him?


    "Soon, my Profound Secrets Pavilion will welcome another Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse. It''s to be congratulated. Today, I''ll confer Zhentao the title of grand elder. You have to work hard and strive to break through as soon as possible."


    At this time, the pavilion lord''s voice sounded out once again, making everyone''s faces change color with fright again.


    "No way, right? Elder Zhentao is going to be promoted to become a grand elder?"


    "Doesn''t that mean that he''s going to break through very soon? I even thought that Elder Zhentao will have no hope of breaking through in this lifetime. I didn''t expect that he actually gained a new lease on life!"


    "Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise, indeed not false! His eyes went blind, everyone thought that he''s crippled in this life. Who could have thought that not only did he regain sight, but he will even break through to the Celestial Deity Realm?"


    "Elder Shaoning and he fought for more than half their lives. Who could have expected Elder Zhentao to break through first? This is really ironic!"


    ...


    Jian Shaoning''s expression was ugly to the extreme. This painting style changed too quickly.


    A moment ago, he even trampled Jian Zhentao into the mud.


    Who knew that in the next instant, Jian Zhentao gained a new lease on life, directly trampling him into the ground with one foot.


    No one had ever doubted what the pavilion lord said. If he said that Jian Zhentao would break through, he would definitely break through.


    Upon entering Celestial Deity Realm, that was a carp leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to the sky in one move.


    He would be in a completely different world from him, a mere ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord.


    Fighting for more than half their lives, who could have expected that it was actually such an outcome?


    Jian Zhentao himself also had a look of shock, bowing to thank as he said, "Thank you, Pavilion Lord. Zhentao will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to break through soon!"


    However, the pavilion lord''s voice did not sound out again.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior!"


    Jian Zhentao said joyfully, "Little Friend Ye Yuan, speaking of it, this is really thanks to you! Come, I''ll bring you to go see Pavilion Lord!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and followed after.


    Jian Tianhua''s expression changed, snorted coldly, and disappeared.


    Jian Zhentao brought Ye Yuan and arrived in front of the stairs leading to the third floor.


    "Going up from here is the pavilion lord''s dwelling place. You go up yourself. This old man will bring Tianping to wait for you below," Jian Zhentao said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and went up the stairs himself.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan felt like he passed through a layer of membrane, arriving at another space.


    This was a simple and crude hidden chamber, revealing a mysterious ambience all over the place.


    A serene-looking old man was currently brewing a pot of spirit tea, the aroma delighting people.


    The old man opened his mouth and said with a laugh, "Huhu, I didn''t expect that this old man can actually meet a young man with the aura of emperor surmounting aura in my lifetime, truly an unexpected surprise!"


    Ye Yuan looked over toward the old man but discovered that the other party seemed to be entirely covered by a veil of mist, unable to see through at all.


    This old man seemed to have fused into one with the surroundings.


    Clearly in front of his eyes, but seemed to be extremely far away.


    "Emperor surmounting aura?"


    Ye Yuan had some doubts. Could it be that this emperor surmounting aura was a kind of destiny too?


    Except, didn''t Jian Zhentao say that he was some imperial aura? How did it become emperor surmounting aura?


    The old man did an inviting gesture, indicating for Ye Yuan to sit down opposite him, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "Aura of emperor, surmounting the world, name emperor surmounting aura! Those who possess the emperor surmounting aura, their destiny is exceedingly vibrant. Barring no accidents, stepping into the realm of Heavenly Emperor isn''t a big problem!"


    Ye Yuan sat down opposite the old man and said with uncertainty, "Pavilion Lord doesn''t seem to have used the aura viewing art, right? How do you know that I am in possession of the emperor surmounting aura?"


    The old man smiled and said, "Although imperial aura is strong, how can it make my Jian clan members suffer Heavenly Dao''s backlash? Only emperor surmounting aura, the darling of heaven, can make ordinary Jian clan members suffer this disaster. Actually, when Zhentao returned from Riverluck Capital City, this old man already knew. Moreover, even if this old man doesn''t employ the aura viewing art, I can also see through a thing or two."


    Ye Yuan was surprised in his heart. No wonder Jian Zhentao said that with the pavilion lord''s cultivation method, he understood the mysteries of good fortune.


    Seemed like this old man''s strength was indeed unimaginable!


    Seeing this, Ye Yuan had some more hope in his heart.


    If it was this old man taking action, he might really be able to find Li-er their whereabouts.


    "Since Pavilion Lord is already aware long ago, why did you still allow Senior Jian Zhentao to be bullied by people? Even if he can''t see, he''s also a ninth-layered heaven Divine Lord expert. It''s not to the extent of letting him go and raise flowers and grow grass, right?" Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    The old man smiled and said, "The mystery of heaven''s secrets is incredibly profound. Even if my Jian Family can divine heaven''s secrets, we also can''t change anything. Forcefully meddling in the trajectory of Heavenly Dao will meet with Heavenly Dao''s backlash. If minor, severe injuries and vomiting blood, cultivating falling drastically; if severe, perishing and Dao dissipating, never to reincarnate. The people of my Jian Family who died due to this are goodness knows how many! Therefore, even if we can see each person''s fate clearly, we''re unable to change anything too. Zhentao was tainted by your emperor surmounting aura, breaking through is something sooner or later. These blows are also Heavenly Dao''s tempering to him. Not experiencing this calamity, he will be unable to break through."


    Ye Yuan listened until he was secretly alarmed. He did not expect that there were still so much things revolving around this simple incident.


    Ye Yuan said curiously, "In that case, the Jian Family''s members performing divinations for other martial artists everyday, predicting good or bad fortune, wouldn''t they suffer the wrath of heaven every day?"


    The old man smiled and said, "Ordinary martial artists, their destinies are very weak and won''t affect the fate of this world. Moreover, members of the Jian Family have their own rules when performing divinations, only saying 20-30%, appearing right but is really wrong. Under most circumstances, there''s no problem. But when a person''s destiny is too strong, members of the Jian Family won''t easily help them perform augury. It was very easy to meet with a backlash if their cultivation is lacking."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, his expression becoming ugly.


    He was the emperor surmounting aura which was even more terrifying than the imperial aura. Didn''t that mean that �� it could not be divined at all?


    Ye Yuan said anxiously, "Senior, this ��"


    The old man suddenly handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Drink a cup of tea, don''t be anxious."


    How could Ye Yuan not be anxious? In the end, he downed the cup of tea in a single act.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Pavilion Lord, this junior''s loved ones'' fates are unknown. Coming here, I only wish to know their situation. Hope that Pavilion Lord can make an exception! For this, Ye Yuan is willing to pay any price!"

 1712 Hundred Battles Arena

    The old man drank a mouthful of tea and said calmly, "Heh, letting a youth with emperor surmounting aura owe this old man a big favor, this old man is naturally willing. It''s just too bad that this old man''s strength falls short of my wishes!"


    Ye Yuan had a look of despair. He did not expect that it was actually such a result in the end.


    "Pavilion Lord, could it be that �� there''s no way at all?" Ye Yuan said unwillingly.


    The old man passed another cup of tea over and said with a smile, "Slowly drink, don''t be in a rush."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, discovering that he somewhat lost composure.


    "Thank you, Pavilion Lord!"


    He received the tea and took a light sip. A bitter and astringent to the extreme harshness taste instantly filled his mouth.


    But very soon, faint sweetness revealed in the bitterness, penetrating into the abdomen, transmitting into all four limbs and the bones.


    In an instant, his divine essence seemed to have increased quite a bit.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he praised, "Good tea! Good tea! This junior was a little impulsive, hope that Senior doesn''t blame."


    That mouthful just now, Ye Yuan did not savor the splendid taste of this spirit tea at all.


    Calming down now, he immediately felt the extraordinariness of this tea.


    A hint of approval flashed across the old man''s eyes, secretly thinking that indeed well-deserving of being a youth who possessed the emperor surmounting aura, calming down so quickly.


    The old man smiled and said, "This tea is called Empty Cicada Skydew Tea. One cup can match a peak rank four divine pill. You already ate two just now! If it were others, they would have long had to enter closed-seclusion to refine it. But you didn''t have any reaction at all. Indeed worthy of being the emperor surmounting aura!"


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart, not expecting that this tea was actually so precious.


    One had to know, ordinary Second Firmament Divine Lord martial artists who consumed a peak rank four divine pills had to enter closed-seclusion for quite a few days too[1].


    Consuming two in a row, the meridians within the body would be somewhat unable to withstand it. There would definitely be a feeling of bloatedness within the body.


    But Ye Yuan drank two cups in a row and was completely fine. It was not unexpected that the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord would not be astonished.


    But he did not know that Ye Yuan ate medicinal pills like eating jelly beans. It would not do if the pills were only a few.


    Ye Yuan had to expend no idea how many divine-grade medicinal pills to break through one minor realm currently. It was simply a bottomless pit.


    Forget about double the spirit tea, even ten cups, he would not bat an eyelid too.


    Two cups entering the stomach, Ye Yuan''s chaos divine essence also could not grow by much.


    The old man said doubtfully, "Oh? What''s a pity?"


    This Empty Cicada Skydew was carefully nurtured by him. He had expended God knows how much effort.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s meaning, there seemed to even be some shortcomings!


    Ye Yuan said, "Empty Cicada Skydew is a rank five spirit tea, but Pavilion Lord only has a rank four effect, isn''t it a shame?"


    The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Empty Cicada Skydew is the most finicky and is exceedingly difficult to cultivate. Being able to nurture peak rank four, this old man has already spent goodness knows how much the price."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s Senior''s cultivation method being wrong! Empty Cicada Skydew Tea, the hardest thing to preserve is its spiritual energy. A single misstep and the spiritual energy will leak out, dropping ranks."


    The old man trembled all over and said, "You have the Empty Cicada Skydew''s nurturing method? Empty Cicada Skydew is extremely rare. The nurturing methods passed down are also extremely few. This old man exhausted all means but also didn''t find the method to cultivate it."


    The significance of rank four spirit teas and rank five spirit teas was different to the old man.


    Rank four spirit teas were really just spirit tea to him; it was only a drink.


    But rank five spirit teas were very helpful to his cultivation!


    Moreover, the function of spirit teas was not just increasing cultivation. It also had tremendous benefits to the body.


    Hence, that was why he would rack his brains to go and cultivate them.


    It was just a pity that it was all for naught.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The nurturing method for Empty Cicada Skydew lies in the word ''Skydew''! Every morning when dew forms, it''s the time when the spirit tea absorbs spiritual energy most vigorously. At this time, one should add more fertilizer, while at other times, it should be reduced according to one''s discretion. Moreover, the four seasons, each season''s fertilizer amount is also different. It''s indeed extremely difficult to cultivate. For Senior to be able to cultivate to peak rank four, you''ve clearly expended considerable effort too."


    The moment the old man heard what Ye Yuan said, he immediately had a sudden realization and said, "No wonder! No wonder! So that''s how it is! Little Friend Ye Yuan, this �� this Empty Cicada Skydew''s nurturing method, can �� can it be imparted to this old man?"


    Spirit tea was a type of spirit medicine too. Nurturing it was extremely meticulous and could not be clearly stated in a few sentences.


    Ye Yuan knew because Immortal Grove was an enthusiast of tea ceremony too. He had collected many spirit teas'' nurturing methods.


    This Empty Cicada Skydew was one of them.


    The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord was extremely agitated at this time. The demeanor of an expert was all lost, looking at Ye Yuan eagerly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That is of course!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out a jade slip and imprinted the nurturing method for the Empty Cicada Skydew, and gave it to the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord.


    The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s divine sense swept through it, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter, an appearance akin to having obtained a priceless treasure.


    "Turns out that it''s like this! Turns out that it''s like this! Why didn''t I think of it?" The old man had an appearance of being suddenly enlightened and was actually itching to give it a try.


    Ye Yuan was not in a rush either, waiting quietly.


    With this look, it was more than an hour.


    The old man put away the jade slip, only then abruptly startled awake, and said rather embarrassedly, "Huhu, I have incurred Little Friend Ye Yuan''s ridicule. You don''t know how much effort this old man put into this Empty Cicada Skydew. Now that I''m burning with eagerness, I became immersed in it and was unable to extricate myself for some time."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior is an alchemist too and naturally understands Pavilion Lord''s mood."


    The old man laughed and said, "Talking about this tea for half a day, I almost forgot proper business! Little Friend Ye Yuan, you have the emperor surmounting aura. Performing divination for you, I have to expend considerable longevity! It isn''t convenient for this old man to frequently take action due to some reasons. Hence, this old man set the rule of taking action once every 300 years!"


    Ye Yuan secretly sighed in his heart. He did not expect that his destiny actually became the greatest obstacle to finding Li-er they all.


    "Senior, I wonder how long is there still from this 300 years?" Ye Yuan asked.


    The old man said, "The 300-year date is only left with seven years."


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that and said, "Senior, I want this chance for you to take action! I won''t hesitate to pay any price!"


    But the old man shook his head and said, "This opportunity, you have to fight for it yourself."


    Ye Yuan said doubtfully, "Fight for it myself?"


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord nodded and said, "After seven years, Extreme Light Imperial City will set up the Hundred Battles Arena! At that time, all geniuses will gather here and compete for a chance to have this old man view their aura and perform a divination. If you want to have this old man take action, only by winning the Hundred Battles Arena will it work!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed slightly and he said, "This �� If Junior encounters late-stage Divine Lord Realm, wouldn''t it be impossible to win?"


    It was true that Ye Yuan was strong, but he was not strong to the extent where he could defeat a late-stage Divine Lord yet.


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord smiled and said, "You don''t have to worry about this. The rule that this old man set is that all those whose skeletal age exceeds 2000 years are not allowed to join the Hundred Battles Arena. Your opponents are all your peers!"


    [1] From now on, first-layered heaven will be changed to First Firmament, second-layered heaven to Second Firmament, so on and so forth.

 1713 Sword Pointing at First Place!

    Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately came to a realization.


    An opportunity to have the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord personally view their aura and give pointers, how rare was that?


    Those whose bone age surpassed 2000 years, their strengths were basically fixed already. The development room also would not be too great.


    Having them accept the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s aura viewing, wouldn''t it be a waste?


    A ten thousand years old Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, what was there to look at[1]?


    No matter how he looked, it was also impossible for him to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm!


    Extreme Light Imperial City hosting this Hundred Battles Arena was to find geniuses with potential and let those forces emphasis on grooming them.


    This way, Extreme Light Imperial City would also have excellent network relations.


    When these geniuses grow up, they would also be grateful to Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan had no choice but to admire Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s shrewdness and farsightedness.


    This move could let Extreme Light Imperial City establish great prestige, and could also let Extreme Light Imperial City get many allies. It was truly experienced and vicious to the extreme.


    No wonder the Jian Family''s power and influence were so great; this was not without reason.


    The level of pinnacle geniuses in an imperial city, at around 2000 years old, their strength was roughly also just the likes of middle-stage Divine Lord Realm.


    It was around Ning Tianping''s strength.


    This way, Ning Tianping was already at the level of a top genius in an imperial city unknowingly.


    Even though that Jian Ping was also Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, his skeletal age already surpassed 2000 years old. It was completely incomparable to Ning Tianping.


    One had to know, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was just low-grade among imperial cities. The chances of giving birth to such geniuses were extremely, extremely low.


    "So that''s how it is. Ye Yuan understands! Pavilion Lord rest assured, Ye Yuan will definitely get this spot!" Ye Yuan said with a firm gaze.


    No matter how powerful his opponent was, Ye Yuan would also defeat the other party and get this spot.


    He absolutely did not allow failure!


    But Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord laughed and said, "Huhu, Little Friend Ye Yuan mustn''t be too confident! The Hundred Battles Arena isn''t as easy as you think. When the time comes, there will be large batches of young geniuses emerging. Several hundreds of imperial cities around Extreme Light Imperial City will also act without delay upon hearing it. Also, some reclusive young prodigies will also take advantage of this opportunity to rise to prominence. At that time, Sixth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses might appear. Your opponents are very strong!"


    Presently, the impact of the influence was so widespread that even imperial cities under other heavenly emperors'' command would go into action without delay too.


    The wider the area covered, the greater the probability of young geniuses appearing.


    Furthermore, some reclusive geniuses also wanted to prove their potential and all wanted to take a look at their potential.


    Hence, they would all come to Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Every 300 years, Extreme Light Imperial City would become a melting pot, becoming the place where all young geniuses competed.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were full of determination as he said in a solemn voice, "This junior can''t afford to lose, and also won''t lose!"


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord laughed and said, "Huhu, emperor surmounting aura, this old man is really very curious to what extent you can accomplish!"


    Ye Yuan suddenly looked at the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord, eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "Pavilion Lord, you only take action once every 300 years, could it be that �� you''ve suffered serious injuries before?"


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s pupils constricted when he heard that and said in shock, "You punk, what discerning eyes! Heh heh, that''s right, this old man rashly judged heaven''s secrets back then, resulting in suffering Heavenly Dao''s backlash, causing my realm to drop drastically. That''s how I ended up in this plight. Taking action once every 300 years, this old man is barely able to recover my vitality. But this time, if you really get first place, the next Hundred Battles Arena will probably have to be postponed."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he said with clasped hands, "For Pavilion Lord to be willing to take action to help me, this grace, Ye Yuan will definitely remember it!"


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord chuckled and said, "This old man being seriously injured once to exchange for an emperor surmounting aura''s favor, it''s very worthwhile! But �� still that sentence, your opponents are very strong! You can only receive this old man divination if you get first place."


    ...


    "What? You still going to take part in the Hundred Battles Arena in the end?"


    The reason why Jian Zhentao brought Ye Yuan to go find the pavilion lord was in order to not let him participate in the Hundred Battles Arena.


    In his view, with Ye Yuan''s strength, it was totally impossible to get the Hundred Battles Arena''s first place.


    That battle outside the door, Jian Zhentao still thought that it was Ning Tianping taking action until now.


    For a Second Firmament Divine Lord to want to overpower all heroes on the Hundred Battles Arena, this was simply a fool''s talk.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Yes! Pavilion Lord said that as long as I can get first place, he''ll perform a divination for me!"


    Jian Zhentao waved his hand and said, "That''s the reward that the first place should get! If you can get first place, what did I work so hard to bring you to go find him for?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You''re mistaken! If it''s others, that''s the reward that the first place should get. But for me, he can refuse!"


    Jian Zhentao froze and said, "Why?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Because, he says that I''m of the emperor surmounting aura! Even if it''s him, performing divination for me will also greatly harm his vitality!"


    "Hiss!"


    Jian Zhentao''s pupils constricted, sucking in a cold breath, using eyes as if looking at a monster and staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    "E-Emperor surmounting aura!" The shock on Jian Zhentao''s face could not be any greater.


    Extreme Light Imperial City, forget about Extreme Light Imperial City, even in the entire Heavenspan World, one also could not find more than a few.


    It was hard to produce a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in several million years too!


    Emperor surmounting aura had only ever existed in the legends.


    He actually met a live one today!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Pavilion Lord even said that if I really get first place, the next Hundred Battles Arena will probably have to be postponed. This shows that the divination this time is a huge burden on him!"


    Jian Zhentao was thunderstruck by this news until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    Imperial aura was already his bold guess.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s destiny was not an imperial aura but actually an emperor surmounting aura!


    He suddenly somewhat understood why he would break through.


    This was getting tainted by Immortal Qi[2]!


    Only after a long time did Jian Zhentao recover from his shock. He said with a solemn look, "Ye Yuan, you must stay tight-lipped about this matter and mustn''t let people know! Otherwise, you''ll have countless troubles!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Senior rest assured, Ye Yuan naturally knows."


    A future Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, this news was too explosive.


    His rise was bound to shake the existing structure. Maybe after some heavenly emperors get this news, they would send people to come and kill him.


    It was not that this kind of thing did not happen before.


    Jian Zhentao continued, "But I''m still unable to believe that you can get first place!"


    Ning Tianping smiled when he heard that and said, "Senior rest assured, His Excellency''s strength absolutely doesn''t pale in comparison to those geniuses. At least, I''m not His Excellency''s match! Although getting the first place is hard, His Excellency won''t give up."


    Jian Zhentao laughed in spite of himself and said, "Are you joking with me? A Second Firmament Divine Lord, even you are not a match?"


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, "That battle in front of Senior''s house was His Excellency personally taking action. If facing the enemy head-on, His Excellency has confidence in killing Jian Ping! It''s just that His Excellency didn''t wish to offend the Profound Secrets Pavilion, that''s why he forcefully endured and did not make a move."


    Jian Zhentao looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief. Was this guy a freak?


    [1] Reminder, X-layered heaven has been changed to X Firmament from now on.


    [2] Doesn''t actually mean immortal.

 1714 Third Firmament Spatial laws!

    Inside Extreme Light Imperial City, young geniuses gradually increased.


    In the streets and alleys, tea houses and taverns, there were young faces everywhere.


    These young geniuses came in different shapes and sizes, but the pride on their being could not be concealed no matter what.


    "I heard that currently, there are already three Sixth Firmament Divine Lords who signed up for the Hundred Battles Arena!"


    "How on earth did this bunch of freaks cultivate? I never delayed my cultivation all the way and I''m also just a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord up until now."


    "Isn''t that so? Realm is secondary, the terrifying thing is that their laws comprehension is even high! I heard that Jiang Nan fused three powers of law, his strength immensely formidable!"


    "Yeah, also, that freak called Xiahou Yun, heard that he comprehended destruction law. None are his match in the same rank!"


    ...


    In the city, discussions had already long begun.


    Some powerful opponents had also long been picked out, becoming everyone''s target of heated discussion.


    Hundred Battles Arena was divided into a total of eight groups.


    Each group''s first place could get the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s seven grand elders'' guidance.


    And in the end, these eight groups'' first place will undergo the final showdown to determine the champion of the Hundred Battles Arena this time!


    This champion would obtain the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s personal guidance.


    This was unparalleled glory. So those powerful geniuses all cracked their heads wanting to fight for this first place.


    Although it was all aura viewing art, different people executing it, the effect was naturally different.


    Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord studied the mysteries of good fortune. The geniuses that he personally guided before, all became notable figures of a region later.


    At this time, inside Phoenix Immortal Restaurant''s top floor luxury private room, Jian Ping was currently raising his wine cup and chatting away with a young man.


    When he heard the news of Ye Yuan going to participate in the Hundred Battles Arena, he was immediately overjoyed.


    Ye Yuan was personally received by the pavilion lord, he had no way of directly acting.


    But if Ye Yuan was accidentally beaten to death by people during the competition, then he could not blame anyone.


    Life and death were uncontrollable on the Hundred Battles Arena, although one was allowed to admit defeat.


    Under normal circumstances, there would not be deaths on the Hundred Battles Arena.


    After all, the geniuses who came to take part in the Hundred Battles Arena mostly had significant backgrounds. Behind each person might have a Celestial Deity powerhouse. Really killing the other party, there would be no end to future troubles.


    With Jian Ping''s identity, wanting to find Ye Yuan''s group was naturally not a difficult thing. When he knew that Ye Yuan and Xiahou Yun were grouped together, he was immediately overjoyed.


    This grouping, Extreme Light Imperial City would naturally make some considerations in-advanced and have the powerful contestants avoid each other.


    And Xiahou Yun was naturally this group''s number one seed.


    When he learned that Ye Yuan was only Second Firmament Divine Lord, he said with a disdainful look, "Brother Jian Ping is looking down on Xiahou Yun too much. Killing a Second Firmament Divine Lord also needs to have me take action?"


    Jian Ping said with a solemn look: "Brother Xiahou mustn''t underestimate him. Even though this kid is just Second Firmament Divine Lord, his combat power is astonishing. His strength isn''t beneath mine!"


    The moment these words came out, Xiahou Yun''s face revealed a look of surprise.


    Although Jian Ping''s combat strength was not considered strong, he was at any rate a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse too.


    A Second Firmament Divine Lord could actually cross three minor realms to face his enemy?


    Xiahou Yun''s face revealed an amused look as he said with a smile, "Oh? Such an interesting opponent, this Xiahou Yun have to experience it. However, Junior Sister Meng Qing''s matter will be entrusted to Brother Jian Ping."


    Jian Ping patted his chest and said, "Relax, Master still pays a lot of attention to me, this disciple. This bit of request is naturally nothing difficult."


    Jian Ping sneered in his heart: Ye Yuan, I''ll see if you still don''t die this time!


    Xiahou Yun was Sixth Firmament Divine Lord. Destruction law had tremendous destructive powers. With Ye Yuan''s strength, it was totally impossible to win.


    ...


    Inside the Death Cultivation Space, Ye Yuan''s sweat was like rain, currently fighting to the death with his projection.


    The projection was still as strong as ever.


    It was just too bad that he never won once.


    Looking closely, these two people actually had their eyes closed.


    The two people entered the Selfless Realm at the same time!


    During these seven years, Ye Yuan threw himself into frenzied cultivation.


    The battle this time was different from in the past, he must get first place!


    Hence, he also devoted more effort.


    His cultivation intensity, normal people were completely unable to imagine.


    Even though he pledged to Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord in sincerity and solemness that he would definitely get first place, he did not look down on the geniuses this time.


    If Ye Yuan''s current strength reached Fourth Firmament Divine Vortex, he could naturally sweep across those in the same rank.


    Whatever Fifth Firmament, Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, if he smacked a palm over, they would be completely annihilated.


    It was just too bad that he was just Second Firmament Divine Lord currently.


    The spiritual energy that Ye Yuan needed to break through a minor realm currently could be rated as terrifying. He could not break through during this short period.


    But these few years of bitter cultivation coupled with the supplementation of medicinal pills, his realm already reached peak Second Firmament Divine Lord.


    Ye Yuan knew that the opponents this time were very strong. Just the Sixth Firmament Divine Lords were quite a few. Furthermore, their combat strengths were all uncommon.


    Among peers, they all had no opponents.


    Furthermore, among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords, it was also hard to guarantee that some powerful existence would not pop out.


    Since the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord warned him many times, it clearly showed that the geniuses in these several hundred cities were not that simple.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, facing off against Sixth Firmament Divine Lords was still somewhat taxing.


    Hence, he was seeking breakthroughs in the power of laws.


    In these seven years, Ye Yuan already cultivated Sword Dao laws to the realm of Fourth Firmament grand completion inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space.


    It was too bad that spatial laws did not break through.


    Third Firmament spatial laws were too fleeting and ephemeral!


    Even with Ye Yuan''s talent, he still had no clues after fumbling about for several hundred years.


    Hence, he entered the Death Cultivation Space time and again, attempting to break through.


    "Jeje, you want to comprehend spatial laws? Dream on! Come one day, you''ll die at my ��" The projection laughed strangely but suddenly stopped.


    Right at this moment, Ye Yuan''s sword drew a cutting edge, breaching his defenses, directly cutting him in half!


    Carrying intense unwillingness, the clone died once more. "I-Impossible!"


    Dustless said with joy, "Heaven rewards the faithful, you finally comprehended Third Firmament spatial laws!"


    Ye Yuan panted for a while and said, "Yeah, it''s too hard! Those able to comprehend spatial laws are all amazingly talented people!"


    Dustless said, "That''s of course! Since ancient times, anyone who comprehended spatial laws, those were all people whose name shakes a region, their reputation extremely illustrious."


    Ye Yuan said with joy, "Spatial laws are indeed powerful! This Third Firmament cultivating to the realm of grand completion should be able to tear apart space, right? The Misty Sword Art that fused Third Firmament spatial laws, in terms of power, it shouldn''t lose to the Nirvana Seal anymore! Heh heh, I''m somewhat looking forward to the Hundred Battles Arena! Wonder if any opponent who can excite me will appear!"

 1715 First Blood

    In the enormous martial arts arena, it was overcrowded.


    Extreme Light Imperial City specially constructed a large-scale martial arts arena in order to host the once-every-300-years Hundred Battles Arena.


    In the center of the martial arts arena, eight large-scale rings were built.


    At this time, the eight rings were all divided into four small arenas, the contestants were all raring to have a go.


    The ones who signed up for the competition this time were a total of 3600 over people.


    Dividing into eight groups, each group''s competition was carried out independently.


    Ye Yuan was placed in the sixth group, Ning Tianping was placed in the eighth group.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the field, he attracted a wave of ridicule.


    "Are my eyes failing me? A Second Firmament Divine Lord actually dares to come and take part in the Hundred Battles Arena too?"


    "Hahaha! He''s a genius! Geniuses naturally want to obtain the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s recognition."


    "Truly overestimating his own ability! Tsk tsk, if I can run into him in the first round, how good would it be?"


    ...


    In many people''s eyes, Ye Yuan already became a piece of fatty meat.


    Whether they could enter the next round or not, it depended on whether they could encounter suckers like Ye Yuan.


    Among the geniuses who signed up, the vast majority of the realms were concentrated from Third Firmament Divine Lord to Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. Second Firmament Divine Lords and Sixth Firmament Divine Lords were extremely few.


    Encountering a Second Firmament Divine Lord, it was tantamount to being sent into the second round.


    Of course, those who had this kind of thinking were mostly those Third Firmament and Fourth Firmament Divine Lords.


    Truly reaching Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, one was naturally disdainful to take advantage of this kind of bargain.


    "This bunch of guys is truly reckless and blind!" Ning Tianping said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Huhu, no need to bother with them. These people are merely accompanying the crown prince to study. You go ahead. Do your best and strive to get the first place."


    Ning Tianping''s luck was better, the group he was put in did not have Sixth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses.


    If Ning Tianping performed splendidly, he might be able to get the first place in his group.


    After all, what Ning Tianping obtained was a True God inheritance, while these geniuses, the vast majority did not have True God inheritances.


    Ning Tianping chuckled and said, "Being grilled by Your Excellency all day, I was abused until I even doubted life. No idea what extent I can achieve this time either."


    These few years, Ning Tianping''s only opponent was Ye Yuan.


    Fighting with Ye Yuan, that was really an extremely painful experience.


    But it was also precisely because of Ye Yuan''s existence that Ning Tianping could give it his all and go all out each time.


    It was also because of this that his martial techniques and laws comprehension advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Even Mo Lifei was also amazed by this disciple''s improvement speed.


    However, he also witnessed Ye Yuan''s might even more.


    No wonder Ye Yuan looked down on his inheritance.


    Very soon, the first round arena match began.


    The first round competition, the strength of the contestants who took the field had a wide disparity, The fights also progressed very quickly.


    Ye Yuan''s group had 400 over people, which was also 200 over battles.


    It progressed faster than expected.


    Some people were directly finished in a few breaths on the fiend.


    "Next round, Ye Yuan versus Li Kun!" The judge said in a clear voice.


    When Ye Yuan heard his own name being called, he leaped onto the ring.


    "It''s that Second Firmament Divine Lord! Li Kun, you really picked up a treasure! Lying down and you can even enter the second round!"


    "Dog-shit luck! Absolutely dog-shit luck! Why don''t I have such good luck?"


    "When a person gets lucky, even immortals can''t stop it! Li Kun, in my view, your destiny must be very booming!"


    ...


    The contestants by the side all used extremely envious eyes to look at Li Kun.


    Li Kun burst into laughter and said, "Thanks for giving way! Thanks for giving way!"


    Finished talking, he leaped and also got onto the field.


    Li Kun looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "Brat, your strength is still considered not bad among peers. But �� you came too early. If you come for the next Hundred Battles Arena, you might still have some hope. Admit defeat, the moment I make my move, you''ll inevitably get hurt."


    Ye Yuan delayed for 300 years in-between. The speed of breaking through the Divine Vortex Realm was a little slow.


    His current realm was slightly better than ordinary martial artists, but it was also not considered very amazing.


    Among these geniuses, it was not conspicuous.


    Li Kun was peak Third Firmament Divine Lord. He was just missing a step. If he could progress a step further, he could break through to become a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord.


    His strength dealing with a Second Firmament Divine Lord, it was naturally a cinch.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Never fight before, who knows?"


    Li Kun chuckled and said, "Looks like you won''t shed tears if you don''t see the coffin! Forget it, then this young master will send you down! Violent Shadow Storm Sword!"


    Li Kun''s sword attacked like the wind, his entire person turning into an afterimage, rushing toward Ye Yuan.


    "Such swift speed!"


    A wave of exclamations came from below. Clearly, they were greatly surprised by Li Kun''s speed.


    Below the ring, Xiahou Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking careless, but his attention never left Ye Yuan''s body before.


    Regarding Jian Ping''s narrative, he actually did not believe it.


    How could a Second Firmament Divine Lord possibly cross three minor realms to battle?


    Divine Lord Realm''s minor realms were not some cabbages, able to be crossed casually.


    Moreover, it was even separated by a minor stage in the middle!


    Even a genius like him, when at the Second Firmament Divine Lord, he could only defeat some of the Third Firmament Divine Lords.


    Swoosh!


    A sword directly passed through the chest!


    A series of exclamations came from below once more. A death occurred in the first round?


    This Ye Yuan''s strength was too weak, right?


    Li Kun himself also jumped in fright. But his figure had yet to stabilize when he suddenly felt someone push from behind.


    "Down!"


    Li Kun wanted to stabilize his figure very much, but his push was not simple, directly stripping him of all his strength, making him unable to muster up strength at all.


    Plop!


    It was only to see Li Kun''s figure involuntarily fly out of the arena, directly falling onto the ground.


    Xiahou Yun''s gaze turned intent and he cried out, "Spatial law!"


    Although it elapsed in a flash, his strength was far from what others could compare to and he caught it very keenly.


    "Yowch! My old waist!"


    Li kun supported his waist and stood up. Focusing his eyes and looking, Ye Yuan was still standing on the ring perfectly well and he immediately had a dazed look.


    He completely had no idea how he was defeated!


    He clearly stabbed Ye Yuan just now, why was the one who lost him instead?


    The judge said, "Ye Yuan wins, Li Kun loses! Ye Yuan enters the second round!"


    Seeing this result, there was an uproar below.


    "What happened just now? I clearly saw Li Kun stab Ye Yuan, why was he defeated without rhyme or reason?"


    "Don''t know, completely couldn''t see clearly!"


    A Fifth Firmament Divine Lord said with a laugh, "It''s spatial law! Ye Yuan made use of spatial law to avoid Li Kun''s sword, then gave him a push from behind and he went out. Heh heh, rather interesting."


    A Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, regardless of whether strength or vision, it was all a notch higher. He was naturally able to see through Ye Yuan''s actual situation.


    However, he was not worried.


    His strength was three minor realms higher than Ye Yuan. Even if it was spatial law, it was also unable to change the final outcome.


    Except, he could no longer regard Ye Yuan as an ordinary Second Firmament Divine Lord.

 1716 Ye Yuans Fighting Spiri

    "S-Spatial law! This Ye Yuan, he actually comprehended spatial law!"


    "My God, no wonder he dares to go up the ring, turns out that he''s also a monster-like existence!"


    "Indeed, those who dare to come to the Hundred Battles Arena, not one of them is mediocre!"


    "Li Kun underestimated the enemy too much. Otherwise, with his strength, it''s impossible to lose so quickly."


    ...


    That Fifth Firmament Divine Lord''s one sentence immediately caused a stir among the contestants.


    Spatial law was virtually a power of law in the legends.


    One suddenly appearing, how could everyone not be surprised?


    However, Ye Yuan''s realm was obvious to everyone. Even if spatial law was powerful, being able to defeat Li Kun was already the limit.


    Moreover, Li Kun''s strength was not weak. If he took it seriously, the outcome was hard to predict.


    In the end, they all felt that Ye Yuan exploited a loophole and only won so easily by a fluke.


    The battles continued. The sixth group''s powerhouses also revealed their true faces one by one.


    But the first round''s opponents, it was very hard to really gauge these experts'' true strength.


    Although everyone was a genius, there was also a disparity between geniuses.


    Similarly Fourth Firmament Divine Lords, because of the difference in laws comprehension, the strength difference might be very great.


    "I feel that Gao Shun''s strength is definitely very strong! He only used one move and finished off his opponent."


    "Also, that Song Tianqiang didn''t even draw his weapon and took care of his opponent with one hand."


    "Xiahou Yun hasn''t made his move yet. I wonder what his strength is like!"


    ...


    Everyone discussed animatedly, all guessing those strong players'' strengths.


    But the things that could be seen in the first round were really too few. They could only slowly judge it based on the speed of the fight.


    But this group''s several powerful existences also had the tip of the iceberg revealed.


    "Next group, Xiahou Yun versus Zhang Feng!"


    Right then, the judge finally called Xiahou Yun''s name.


    Everyone''s expressions turned austere, looking toward Xiahou Yun''s figure.


    The two people leaped and arrived in the ring.


    Zhang Feng''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He did not expect that he was actually so unlucky, running into Xiahou Yun in the first round.


    There was no way to compete at all!


    "Give you three breaths of time to concede. If this young master makes a move, you won''t have the chance to concede anymore! One ��"


    Xiahou Yun was incomparably domineering, directly starting the countdown.


    Zhang Feng''s expression was incredibly ugly, large bean-sized sweat seeping out of his forehead, immediately feeling a powerful sense of oppression.


    "Two ��"


    "I �� I admit defeat!"


    With extreme unwillingness, Zhang Feng admitted defeat and surrendered. He did not even have the courage to attack.


    Xiahou Yun''s overbearingness gave all of the contestants tremendous psychological pressure.


    Everyone all knew that what he cultivated was destruction law. His combat power was extremely strong.


    Those who had no confidence, who dared to go up and try?


    One punch and your entire person would be gone without even a chance to admit defeat!


    If it was other people, saying this was a joke.


    But Xiahou Yun, he had this confidence!


    Sixth Firmament Divine Lord''s absolute realm coupled with destruction law, this kind of powerful law, who dared to easily challenge him?


    This was a true powerhouse!


    An existence who crushed their peers!


    "Xiahou Yun''s aura is too strong! I �� I even felt tremendous pressure below. For Zhang Feng to not kneel down is already very impressive."


    "Yeah, really too strong! One sentence broke down his opponent''s willpower. This kind of person has no way of competing at all!"


    "It''s just I don''t know who can let him make a move. Or will he get first place without staining his weapon with blood just like this?"


    "This �� It''s really hard to say. I reckon that only those few Fifth Firmament Divine Lords dare to have a go with him. At least, there''s a chance to concede."


    ...


    At this time, even those few Fifth Firmament Divine Lords'' expressions were also rather ugly.


    The sense of oppression that Xiahou Yun gave them was too strong.


    But Ye Yuan''s eyes shone as if seeing a long-awaited prey.


    This Xiahou Yun similarly gave him a powerful sense of oppression.


    But this sense of oppression actually made him have a feeling of his blood boiling with excitement.


    And right at this time, Xiahou Yun''s gaze actually looked over toward him.


    Four eyes met, Xiahou Yun was first stunned, then immediately sneered in his heart. This punk actually wants to fight with me, really don''t know how to die!


    "Is this brat provoking Xiahou Yun?"


    "My eyesight isn''t failing, right?"


    "He wouldn''t have trained until his brain is spoiled, right? Think that comprehending spatial law, he''s invincible under the heavens?"


    "Went over, went over! Xiahou Yun actually walked over toward Ye Yuan! Heh heh, there''s a good show to watch."


    ...


    The fighting spirit on Ye Yuan''s body was not concealed at all. Landing in other people''s eyes, it simply became a joke.


    A Second Firmament Divine Lord provoking a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, and it was even a powerful existence among Sixth Firmament Divine Lords. This looked like a death-seeking action no matter what.


    Spatial law could not make up for the enormous difference in realm.


    This was common knowledge, something that everyone knew.


    Clearly, this ''fool'' did not know.


    Xiahou Yun slowly came in front of Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile, "You want to challenge me?"


    Ye Yuan did not know that Jian Ping and Xiahou Yun had long made an agreement. He only instinctively wanted to fight with the strong.


    Hearing that, he smiled and said, "You''re very strong! But I must defeat you!"


    No matter how strong the opponent was, he must win!


    But these words were simply the most hilarious joke in the world when it landed in other people''s ears.


    "Hahaha, truly a fool who overestimates his own ability!"


    "Kid, you''re too arrogant! Do you think that by comprehending spatial law, you''re invincible under the heavens?"


    "Brat, do you know what''s called hitting a rock with an egg?"


    ...


    By the side, a series of taunts came over.


    This declaration sounded so powerless!


    Xiahou Yun grinned and said, "Heh heh, spatial law, this young master is looking forward to it very much as well! Want to challenge this young master, work hard to stand before me first!"


    Ye Yuan smiled very casually and said, "Don''t you worry, I will."


    A smile hung on his face, but Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    He had cultivated the slaughter supreme true intent before and was very sensitive to killing intent.


    This Xiahou Yun actually had murderous intent towards him!


    Even though Xiahou Yun hid it extremely well, Ye Yuan still detected it.


    It''s my first time meeting him, why would he have killing intent towards me? Could it be �� Jian Ping? Ye Yuan thought of Jian Ping very quickly in his heart.


    In Extreme Light Imperial City, apart from Jian Ping, he could not think of anyone else who had a conflict with him before.


    Although Xiahou Yun was overbearing, it was absolutely impossible to produce killing intent toward him the first time they met.


    Then there was only one possibility, Jian Ping requested Xiahou Yun to do it!


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly inside. This Jian Ping really lingered on like a ghost!


    Very soon, the second round started!


    The second round''s opponents were clearly going to be a great deal stronger. The battles also started to become intense.


    But to Ye Yuan, there was not much difference.


    It was still taking down the enemy in one move!

 1717 Fierce Battle with Song Tianqiang!

    This time, Ye Yuan''s opponent was a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord.


    However, he was still sent flying in one move.


    After that Fourth Firmament Divine Lord crashed onto the ground, he still had a blank look, completely oblivious of what happened.


    Ye Yuan had comprehended spatial laws for a long time and gradually became well-versed and ingenious in the application of the law.


    Fourth Firmament Divine Lords were already not opponents who could last one exchange with him long ago.


    "This Ye Yuan is actually so strong!"


    "No wonder he dared to provoke Xiahou Yun! Looks like he indeed still has some skill!"


    "A Second Firmament Divine Lord could actually defeat middle-stage Divine Lord Realm; spatial laws are indeed powerful!"


    "But no matter how strong he is, it''s also impossible to be Xiahou Yun''s match."


    ...


    Ye Yuan being able to defeat a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord made everyone''s jaws drop.


    From initial-stage Divine Lord Realm to middle-stage was a huge hurdle. Third Firmament Divine Lords, if they did not have heaven-defying means, it was basically impossible to defeat Fourth Firmament Divine Lords.


    But Ye Yuan was just a Second Firmament Divine Lord and accomplished it.


    This also made everyone finally realize that Ye Yuan was not to be trifled with!


    But to say that Ye Yuan could defeat Xiahou Yun, they still did not believe it.


    After all, Xiahou Yun was too strong.


    The second round did not have the least bit of suspense, the opponent directly admitted defeat again.


    The aura that he burst forth was too strong. Nobody had the courage to go and receive a move from him at all.


    Third round, Ye Yuan continued the winning streak, defeating a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord once more.


    Xiahou Yun''s opponent directly admitted defeat once again.


    Three rounds of battle done, and yet no one could force Xiahou Yun to take action!


    After the third round ended, the judge announced, "Cease battle for a day, tomorrow, carry out the fourth round!"


    Three consecutive rounds, some people''s stamina already almost could not hold out anymore.


    Hearing this, they immediately heaved a sigh in relief.


    After dispersing, Ning Tianping also came over to find him and said with an excited look, "Your Excellency, I passed three rounds in a row!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you can''t even pass three rounds, I''ll kick you back to Heavenly Eagle with one foot."


    Ning Tianping chortled and said, "Your Excellency, I really have a feeling like I''m dreaming right now, to actually be able to exchange moves with so many experts! Most importantly, I could actually crush them! Hahaha, it''s really great!"


    Ning Tianping''s loud laughter immediately attracted a series of sidelong glances. Quite a few people cast over hostile gazes.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your current strength is indeed considered at the upper-level standard of imperial cities, this level, already. But I think that you''ll shake them off further and further behind."


    Ning Tianping said excitedly, "Heh heh, Your Excellency is Tianping''s benefactor, utterly changing my life!"


    ...


    After resting for a day, the Hundred Battles Arena continued.


    This time, the people on the grandstands were clearly much more.


    Because starting from the third round, the battle situation clearly became more intense.


    Each group''s headcount was roughly over 400 people. After three rounds of battle, more than half were already eliminated. Only 50 plus people were left.


    These people were all experts among experts.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, one Second Firmament Divine Lord, the rest were all middle-stage Divine Lord Realm experts.


    But now, no one dared to look down on Ye Yuan anymore.


    The judge said, "Starting the fourth round, first match, Ye Yuan versus Song Tianqiang!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned, not expecting that this round was actually him taking the field first.


    The arrangement of the sequence was arranged by Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Extreme Light Imperial City had hosted so many Hundred Battles Arenas and was naturally very experienced.


    They would arrange the order according to the strength of the martial artists, saving the strong players for the last to the best of their ability.


    Clearly, in their view, for Ye Yuan''s strength to be able to defeat Fourth Firmament Divine Lords was already pretty good.


    Fifth Firmament Divine Lords, he absolutely did not have chances of victory, that was why his matchup was arranged.


    "Ye Yuan versus Song Tianqiang! There''s a good show to watch now!"


    "Heh heh, this punk is unbelievably arrogant, I want to see just where his limits lie!"


    "Song Tianqiang''s strength is absolutely a very formidable existence among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords. Ye Yuan''s myth ends here!"


    ...


    Everyone also did not expect that the first battle that would get much attention would be about Ye Yuan.


    They very much wanted to see now just where Ye Yuan''s limits lay.


    Clearly, Song Tianqiang was the best litmus test.


    It was just that no one thought that Ye Yuan would win.


    Ye Yuan jumping realms to defeat Third Firmament Divine Lords, this was very easy to understand.


    Ye Yuan crossing realms to defeat Fourth Firmament Divine Lords, they could also accept it.


    If Ye Yuan could even win Fifth Firmament Divine Lords, this was also too perverse!


    Song Tianqiang looked at Ye Yuan and said, "You''re very good. If you can break through to be a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord, I probably won''t be your match anymore. But now, admit defeat! You have no hope!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Why do you all have the same pattern? Don''t you know how to change to something else? Haven''t fought yet, who knows the result?"


    Song Tianqiang''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, "Since that''s the case, then this young master will let you know that spatial law can''t surpass everything!"


    It went without saying that Ye Yuan already possessed Fourth Firmament Divine Lord combat strength.


    But, there was similarly a massive gulf between Fourth Firmament Divine Lord and Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Moreover, Song Tianqiang was even one of the best among them!


    "Hearing Moon Sacred Martial Fist!"


    Song Tianqiang''s fist rumbled over, bringing along the world power of Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, virtually going to shatter the ring.


    When everyone saw this scene, each of them, their countenance changed visibly.


    Previously, Song Tianqiang had always vanquished the enemy with one move. No one could force him to use his full strength at all.


    Now, they finally witnessed Song Tianqiang''s might!


    Suddenly, everyone''s expression changed drastically, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    "What is he going to do? Clash head-on with Song Tianqiang?"


    "My God, isn''t he going to use spatial law to avoid this punch?"


    "Hang on! This guy is even a body-cultivator, middle-stage fourth transformation golden body! This guy concealed his strength so deeply!"


    ...


    In the crowd, cries of exclamations sounded out.


    Because they discovered that not only did Ye Yuan comprehend spatial law, but he was also a middle-stage fourth transformation golden body body-cultivator!


    Middle-stage fourth transformation golden body was equivalent to a Fourth Firmament to Sixth Firmament Divine Lord martial artist.


    Ye Yuan had just entered the middle-stage fourth transformation golden body, his strength was roughly equivalent to Fourth Firmament Divine Lord.


    These people all thought that Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was spatial law. They did not expect that Ye Yuan''s physical body strength was even stronger than his martial arts!


    "Universe Dragon Claw!"


    Bang!


    A massive rumble transmitted over. The two people each retreated several dozen steps.


    Song Tianqiang''s expression changed slightly. He was a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord and actually fought to a draw with the newly-advanced middle-stage fourth transformation Ye Yuan.


    This humiliation, he was unable to accept it!


    Song Tianqiang''s figure moved, slamming another punch over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not give way in the slightest too, executing the Universe Dragon Claw, clashing together with Song Tianqiang.


    Golden light flashed on Ye Yuan''s body, dragon aura overflowing. He actually did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest!


    Below the stage, the contestants were long dumbfounded with shock.


    How could they know that Ye Yuan''s true strength would actually be so appalling!


    Previously, they were even mocking Ye Yuan for his low realm, it was simply coming to add to the headcount.


    Only now did they realize that they were the cannon fodders.


    Their strength could not even accomplish forcing out Ye Yuan''s true strength at all!

 1718 Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven

    "Heh, this is your reliance? If you only have this bit of strength, you''re dead for sure!" Below the stage, Xiahou Yun sneered coldly.


    In other people''s eyes, Ye Yuan''s strength was naturally powerful enough.


    To be able to fight Song Tianqiang fiercely until now, his strength had indeed exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    But in Xiahou Yun''s eyes, it was still not enough to look at.


    "This Ye Yuan has such powerful fighting talent!"


    "Yeah, his strength is still a notch weaker in the end. But by relying on the ingenious utilization of spatial law, he can actually fight on par with Song Tianqiang!"


    "Newly-advanced to middle-stage fourth transformation golden body and he can fight to this extent. This situation is also one of a kind!"


    ...


    Below the stage, the contestants all had solemn looks.


    Ye Yuan''s strength far exceeded their imaginations.


    The originally most unpromising actually became a large dark horse now. Even Song Tianqiang could not take him down.


    In the ring, Song Tianqiang failed to win the drawn-out battle and became somewhat anxious in his heart.


    "My opponent is Xiahou Yun, how can I possibly lose to this brat? Forget it, that move was originally left for Xiahou Yun, but I can only expose it in-advance now!"


    Song Tianqiang made use of the counter-shock and pulled apart a certain distance from Ye Yuan.


    All of a sudden, Song Tianqiang''s aura skyrocketed, his entire person becoming a bent bow.


    Everyone''s faces changed. This move of Song Tianqiang''s had yet to release, but it already accumulated sufficient momentum.


    One could imagine that the next attack would be a lightning-like blow!


    "What a powerful attack! Dormant like a thunderbolt, this punch is incredible!"


    "Looks like this is Song Tianqiang''s killing move! I''m afraid �� Ye Yuan is in danger!"


    "That move of Ye Yuan''s, the power is sufficient to rival Fifth Firmament Divine Lords. It''s probably his limit already, right? The victor has already been decided!"


    ...


    Song Tianqiang''s punch had yet to execute, but everyone could feel that this attack would be more than ten times the previous!


    This kind of attack virtually stood at the apex of Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. It was also not far from a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord.


    With Ye Yuan''s present strength, it was totally impossible to achieve it.


    On the grandstands, when Jian Ping saw this scene, he was immediately greatly excited.


    He had been staring at the sixth group''s ring all along. Seeing this astonishing attack at this time, he immediately saw hope.


    If Song Tianqiang could directly kill Ye Yuan, it would also be a wonderful thing.


    Finish him off!


    Finish him off!


    Jian Ping shouted in his heart!


    Song Tianqiang shouted loudly, a punch rumbled out like a cannonball.


    The violent world power turned into a white stream, akin to a galaxy dipping down!


    That commotion was incomparably shocking.


    But right at this time, an even stronger aura surged to the sky!


    It was only to see blue patterns flashing in the midst of golden light on Ye Yuan''s body.


    A dragon roar met it head-on, directly facing off with Song Tianqiang''s Galaxy Falling Heavenly Fist.


    Everyone''s faces changed, their eyes revealing terror.


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    "What a powerful attack! It actually doesn''t lose to Song Tianqiang''s move!"


    "This kid was actually still hiding such a powerful trump card! How did he do it?"


    ...


    Such a powerful move had a tremendous burden on the physical body of body-cultivators.


    Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan''s present fleshy body strength, it was completely insufficient to support such a powerful move.


    However, Ye Yuan still managed it!


    They did not know that with the blue patterns'' enhancement, Ye Yuan''s physical body was far stronger than it looked on the surface.


    Universe Dragon Claw''s Second Stance, Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Everyone could see an incomparably solid azure dragon brandishing its dragon claws, directly clawing toward that white stream!


    Head-on confrontation!


    Rumble!


    The two attacks tussled in the air, neither giving in to the other, shaking until space was shuddering.


    That powerful pressure even made all of the martial artists visibly change countenance.


    Song Tianqiang''s complexion turned deathly pale and actually had a feeling of exhaustion!


    Crack crack �� boom!


    Finally, the azure dragon was so overwhelming that it could affect heaven and earth, crushing the white stream, emitting a heaven-shocking loud bang.


    The azure dragon dissipated, Song Tianqiang''s body shot out backward, flying out of the ring powerlessly.


    Ye Yuan won!


    Everyone was rendered speechless with shock. This outcome was seriously too out of their expectations.


    Even if Ye Yuan''s physical body possessed strength rivaling a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord, Song Tianqiang was a peak Fifth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse.


    Facing Fourth Firmament Divine Lords, he practically had the strength to insta-kill.


    But such a powerful Song Tianqiang was actually defeated!


    "I �� Are my eyes failing me?"


    "I thought that in our group, the only one with the qualifications to challenge Xiahou Yun was Song Tianqiang. I didn''t expect that �� he was actually defeated!"


    "No wonder! No wonder Ye Yuan dared to provoke Xiahou Yun. Turns out that �� he''s really impressive!"


    ...


    Below the stage, the contestants all did not quite dare to believe such a result.


    On the grandstands, Jian Ping''s expression was unbelievably ugly, gritting his teeth as he said, "Turns out that this is his true strength!"


    At the same time, his back broke out into cold sweat.


    He finally recalled, back then when Ye Yuan warned him, he said that if he was not a member of the Profound Secrets Pavilion, he would long be a dead man.


    Turned out that it was not Ye Yuan talking big, but that he really had this strength!


    Just based on this Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven move, it was sufficient for Ye Yuan to kill him!


    In Xiahou Yun''s eyes, a look of surprise similarly appeared.


    But it was merely a surprise.


    This kind of strength could not threaten him yet.


    The corners of Xiahou Yun''s mouth curled slightly as he said, "Heh, a little interesting! Seems �� even stronger than Jian Ping said! But if it''s merely like this, it''s still not enough!"


    Fourth round started, but no one could have thought that the battle situation would actually be so fierce.


    Ye Yuan and Song Tianqiang''s fight could be said to be the sixth group''s pinnacle battle already.


    Of course, apart from Xiahou Yun.


    If Xiahou Yun did not come out, who could contend?


    This round, Xiahou Yun''s opponent still admitted defeat.


    In the fifth round, the opponent still admitted defeat!


    Xiahou Yun''s might virtually made people despair.


    Fourth Firmament Divine Lords could not give rise to the desire to attack in front of him at all.


    While Fifth Firmament Divine Lords were just those few. Xiahou Yun had not encountered one up until now.


    Similar scenes were playing out in the second arena.


    Jiang Nan who had very loud cheers from people previously, no one similarly dared to make a move against him.


    Different from Xiahou Yun''s overbearingness, Jiang Nan standing there gave people a feeling of unassailableness.


    Martial artists would find the other party''s flaws when fighting.


    Each person would more or less have some flaws.


    But they completely could not find Jiang Nan''s flaw!


    This kind of might was all-round, not giving you the least bit of chance at all.


    Jiang Nan had a helpless look and thought to himself, "So boring. Wonder when it can end and start the finals. What can excite me is also just Xiahou Yun, right? Destruction law, heh heh, really want to experience it!"


    "Sixth round begins, Xiahou Yun versus Gao Shun!"


    The judge''s voice came over, immediately making everyone look forward to it a little.


    Gao Shun''s strength was not weaker than Song Tianqiang. If anyone could force Xiahou Yun to take action, it would be none other than him.


    Of course �� now, there was an additional Ye Yuan.


    Xiahou Yun still had that calm expression. Looking at Gao Shun, he said, "You want to attack?"


    Gao Shun nodded and said, "I know that I''m not your match, but I want to seek advice from your destruction law!"

 1719 Murderers Will Be Killed Eventually

    The corners of Xiahou Yun''s mouth curled slightly, revealing an evil smile as he said coolly, "Then �� bring it on!"


    No idea why, Gao Shun''s heart suddenly clenched!


    He was frightened by this evil smile.


    Damn it, I''m merely a minor realm away from him. Furthermore, my strength also stands out among the rest among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords. Could it be that I don''t even have the courage to make a move?


    No way! Since I came, how can I retreat without a fight?


    At most, just admit defeat!


    Gao Shun''s long sword swung, his figure rushing out.


    "God Yi Heavenly Thunder Sword!"


    Gao Shun''s figure became erratic, his speed extremely fast.


    Lightning flashed around him, his aura incomparably daunting.


    "Sword Dao laws fused with thunder law, Gao Shun is indeed powerful!"


    "Looks like he doesn''t dare to be the least bit sloppy when facing Xiahou Yun! The moment he made his move, it''s a big move!"


    "Looks like Gao Shun''s strength isn''t weaker than Song Tianqiang. Even if he can''t win Xiahou Yun, he also has the strength to have a fight!"


    ...


    Seeing Gao Shun''s strength, everyone also became filled with shock.


    Previously, no one could force out Gao Shun''s strength at all.


    Clearly, he was also a very formidable existence among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords.


    At this time, Gao Shun already rushed to 1000 feet in front of Xiahou Yun. He flagrantly stabbed a sword out.


    Sword energy wrapped with electricity, the commotion incomparably shocking, shooting straight for Xiahou Yun.


    A hint of a disdainful smile revealed at the corners of Xiahou Yun''s mouth. Only at this time did he slowly squat into a horse-stance and assumed a punching posture, looking incomparably clumsy.


    "What''s he doing? Also taking it too lightly, right?"


    "This Xiahou Yun is also looking down on Gao Shun too much, right?"


    "Can this punch kill people?"


    ...


    Xiahou Yun''s move, even mortals could execute it. Furthermore, his surroundings did not have the slightest divine essence and world power undulations.


    It looked like fighting with mortals.


    At this time, everyone could not help but somewhat doubt Xiahou Yun.


    Could it be that this guy did not live up to his reputation?


    Then didn''t everyone who forfeited previously all fell into the pit?


    But below the stage, Ye Yuan''s gaze turned sharp, instantly feeling suffocated.


    "This guy is so strong! Gao Shun is in danger!" Ye Yuan was startled.


    Everyone''s thoughts did not last long, because at this time, Xiahou Yun already made his move!


    A punch rumbled out, everyone''s countenance suddenly changed.


    A force that was horrifying until it made people''s hearts palpitate burst forth from Xiahou Yun''s fist.


    Bang!


    A loud noise came over, Gao Shun''s attack was instantly annihilated.


    However, the momentum of Xiahou Yun''s punch did not reduce, heading straight for Gao Shun!


    Gao Shun''s pupils constricted, wanting to escape. However, it was already too late!


    "ARGH!!"


    Gao Shun screamed, directly exploding into scraps!


    Xiahou Yun pulled back his fist and stood there, saying disdainfully, "Too weak, couldn''t even receive a punch."


    Below the stage, quite a number of people were transfixed like wooden chickens, looking at this scene blankly. They did not come back to their senses for a long while.


    That judge''s expression also changed slightly and he announced, "Xiahou Yun wins! Gao Shun, defeated and dead!"


    "S-so strong! I-Is this destruction law?"


    "Destruction law is known as the law with the strongest offensive power. But this is also unbelievably strong, right?"


    "Gao Shun actually didn''t even have the chance to concede!"


    ...


    Those contestants all turned deathly pale. They were scared silly by Xiahou Yun''s punch.


    Some people were even shaking.


    The impact that this punch brought to them was too strong.


    If Gao Shun was just some unknown person, he''s dead, then he''s dead.


    But Gao Shun was a very powerful existence among Fifth Firmament Divine Lords.


    One could say that apart from Xiahou Yun, he was virtually a top-three existence in this group.


    However, it still could not change anything.


    Killed in one punch!


    On the grandstands, Jian Ping was excited until he was practically about to yell out.


    He completely did not expect that Xiahou Yun''s strength was actually so strong!


    However, his expression suddenly changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "This punk is too arrogant! Ye Yuan saw that his strength is so strong, so how can he possibly still have a head-on confrontation with him?"


    What Jian Ping was worried about was that if Ye Yuan directly admitted defeat, then his plan would be dashed to pieces.


    Xiahou Yun walked down the ring and went straight for Ye Yuan, saying with a faint smile, "Now, still want to challenge me?"


    Ye Yuan did not answer, but he answered with a question: "You want to kill me?"


    Xiahou Yun froze slightly and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Somewhat interesting! Looks like you''re scared."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It''s Jian Ping, right?"


    Xiahou Yun''s gaze turned intent, finally becoming a little shocked.


    How did this kid know?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly grinned and said, "Originally, I only wanted to have a battle with him. But �� I changed my mind."


    Xiahou Yun said, "Oh? Looks like you''re planning on directly admitting defeat?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Murderers will be killed eventually! You should be prepared!"


    The moment Xiahou Yun heard, he immediately laughed and said, "Huhu, are you joking with me? Do you think that by defeating Song Tianqiang that trash, you have the qualifications to pick a fight with me? You''ll never know how great the disparity between you and me is!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "You''re thinking too highly of yourself."


    Xiahou Yun smiled and said, "Brat, your mouth is very tough! I want to see what you''ll use to come and kill me! The day after tomorrow, hope that you don''t directly run away."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax, even the Jade Emperor can''t make me run away too!"


    The two people, chiming in one after another, stunned everyone.


    Ye Yuan actually threatened that he was going to kill Xiahou Yun!


    "This kid is crazy, right? Didn''t he see Xiahou Yun''s punch just now?"


    "His strength is strong, but it''s also merely that fine thread higher than Song Tianqiang, right?"


    "Really courageous! Xiahou Yun obliterated Gao Shun with one punch, and yet he actually still dared to provoke him."


    "Tsk tsk, looks like the day after tomorrow, another genius is going to fall."


    ...


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s actions that were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, it naturally aroused everyone''s ridicule.


    Ye Yuan and Song Tianqiang''s fight clearly already reached the limit.


    While Xiahou Yun''s strength was clearly much higher than Ye Yuan''s limit.


    Someone who was able to challenge Xiahou Yun was only the second arena''s Jiang Nan, right?


    Old rules, three rounds of battle and ceasing, resting for a day''s time.


    Over there, Ning Tianping similarly made it through six rounds. Now, he was already a favorite to win the championship.


    After the match, Jian Ping went to find Xiahou Yun straight away and said somewhat reproachfully, "You were too impulsive! This way, Ye Yuan will definitely avoid you and not fight!"


    Xiahou Yun smiled and said, "Brother Jian Ping, he already knows."


    Jian Ping''s expression changed and he said, "W-What does he know?"


    "Knows everything! This punk is rather interesting! I''ve never revealed killing intent in front of him before, but he detected it. Furthermore �� he even guessed that you were behind it," Xiahou Yun said coolly.


    Jian Ping''s pupils constricted and he said in disbelief, "Are �� Are you kidding me?"


    Xiahou Yun said coolly, "Relax, Brother Jian Ping, not only does he not have the intention of avoiding the battle, he even threatened to kill me. Heh heh, this young master �� is looking forward to it greatly!"

 1720 Vanished Sword

    "Heh heh, the guy who''s courting death is here!"


    "Tsk tsk, I really admire his courage, to actually threaten to kill Xiahou Yun!"


    "Eh, this guy �� seems to have broken through!"


    "It''s true, his aura is indeed much stronger! However �� it''s useless. His greatest reliance is his fleshy body. Martial arts breakthrough can''t change any outcome."


    ...


    When Ye Yuan came to the vicinity of the sixth ring, he immediately attracted a wave of ridicule.


    Six rounds passed, and only eight people remained currently.


    These eight people would battle to determine the final, first place.


    At the Hundred Battles Arena, the second place did not have any meaning.


    Only the person who got the first place could get the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s grand elder''s guidance.


    Passing by Xiahou Yun, he smiled scornfully and said, "This is your final reliance? Huhu, what can a Third Firmament Divine Lord change?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "It''s sufficient to kill you!"


    Xiahou Yun burst into laughter and said, "Fine, then this young master will wait for you to come and �� kill me!"


    Seventh round, eight into four; Ye Yuan''s opponent was a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. He passed the round effortlessly.


    Of course, Xiahou Yun was even more relaxed than he was. His opponent directly forfeited.


    With Gao Shun''s lesson, who still dared to find him to try their hand? Unless they were tired of living.


    The eighth round was similarly like so!


    Ye Yuan''s strength was already the number one person apart from Xiahou Yun. Extreme Light Imperial City naturally had to put their fight at the last.


    In the ninth round, Xiahou Yun and Ye Yuan finally faced off!


    On the grandstands, Jian Ping was excited until his face flushed red. He seemed to have already seen the spectacle of Ye Yuan being blown up by Xiahou Yun with one punch.


    Standing on the ring, Xiahou Yun smiled faintly and said, "Brat, I''m very curious how you''re going to receive my punch!"


    Done talking, Xiahou Yun performed a stance, exactly identical to when killing Gao Shun back then.


    The atmosphere below the ring immediately became different. A strange aura practically made people suffocate.


    Before this, the shock that this punch gave them was too intense.


    What was different was that the punch before this, Xiahou Yun struck only after the enemy had struck.


    But this time, he struck first to gain the initiative.


    The moment was already formed, what followed was a destructive blow!


    Bang!


    A punch slammed out, the entire space seemed to be shattered.


    An invisible force rumbled over towards Ye Yuan like blotting out the skies and covering the earth, the speed incomparably fast.


    Bang!


    Xiahou Yun''s expression changed and he cried out in shock, "Spatial law, Third Firmament!"


    Ye Yuan had never truly displayed the power of spatial law before in front of people.


    Most people thought that Ye Yuan merely comprehended some superficial knowledge.


    But in reality, he already comprehended Third Firmament spatial law.


    This was a remarkable achievement!


    Although destruction law was powerful, compared to spatial law, it was still a notch inferior.


    The geniuses on the grandstands were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    "A-Actually avoided it!"


    "How �� How did he do it?"


    "Truly unimaginable! Is �� Is this the true power of spatial law?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan looked at Xiahou Yun and said coolly, "Destruction law is nothing more than this!"


    Xiahou Yun''s gaze turned intent, anger immediately rising in his heart.


    He was actually looked down upon!


    Comprehending destruction law, he grew up amidst praises and envious voices.


    Today, he was actually despised by another person!


    He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop posturing! Just now was merely an appetizer! Now, it''s the real deal!"


    Xiahou Yun''s figure moved, floating over toward Ye Yuan, swift as lightning!


    On the grandstands, someone cried out in shock, "Law of wind! Turns out that Xiahou Yun even comprehended rank four wind law! This guy is truly a freak!"


    "Law of wind in conjunction with destruction law is simply sweeping forth ever-victorious!"


    "Ye Yuan is in danger! He shouldn''t have gone to provoke Xiahou Yun!"


    ...


    Xiahou Yun''s figure was extremely fast, punches throwing like the wind.


    Waves of explosion sound emitted within the array formation. Space seemed to be smashed until it warped.


    While Ye Yuan''s entire figure disappeared.


    People knew that Ye Yuan activated spatial law!


    But the undulations coming from Xiahou Yun''s attacks made each and every one of them turn deathly pale.


    Such concentrated attacks, the ripples were much stronger than when killing Gao Shun back then.


    Under the cooperation of wind law, Xiahou Yun''s attacks virtually had no dead angles, covering all over the ring.


    In everyone''s view, Ye Yuan had nowhere to hide at all!


    Suddenly, Xiahou Yun''s attack stopped. The entire ring returned to tranquility.


    Xiahou Yun panted a little. Such fierce attacks likewise had a considerable burden on him.


    "Humph! So what if spatial law? See if you don''t die still!" Xiahou Yun said with a cold snort.


    On the ring, Ye Yuan''s figure was already gone.


    "Sure enough, Ye Yuan still died!"


    "Under such horrifying attacks, how can he possibly survive?"


    "Xiahou Yun is really too strong!"


    ...


    In everyone''s view, Ye Yuan had long been blasted to scraps already. Under such concentrated attacks, it was completely impossible for anyone to survive.


    "Rather interesting. It''s just too bad that it''s still too weak!" A voice sounded out in thin air.


    Xiahou Yun''s expression changed drastically. Who was this if not Ye Yuan''s voice?


    This guy actually was not dead yet!


    Only to see a hint of ripple surface in space. Ye Yuan''s figure slowly walked out.


    Everyone burst into an uproar!


    Couldn''t even die like this?


    Was spatial law really overwhelmingly powerful?


    Ye Yuan looked at Xiahou Yun and said coolly, "Wind law acting in concert with destruction law, indeed pretty good. It''s just a pity that you can''t even accomplish fusing laws!"


    Xiahou Yun''s expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Stop pretending! Destruction is an ultimate level law, how can wanting to fuse it be that easy?"


    Two independent laws and fusing laws, that power was completely different.


    How could Xiahou Yun possibly not understand this point?


    He had once attempted to fuse these two kinds of power of laws countless times. It was just a pity that �� he could not do it!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Is it really that difficult? Why don''t you say that you''re too dumb?"


    Xiahou Yun sneered and said, "I''m dumb? Heh heh, this is really the funniest joke that I''ve heard before! These 3000 over people, who dares to say that their talent is greater than mine?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Can''t even achieve fusing laws, aren''t you dumb?"


    Xiahou Yun spat: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, do you think that you''re superior to others for comprehending spatial law? Or is it that you think that my strength merely stops here?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Bring it on then! This time, I''m going to attack too. You have to receive it well."


    Xiahou Yun said indifferently, "A trash who only knows how to use spatial law to dodge, do you think that this young master will really be scared of you?"


    While talking, Xiahou Yun slowly put on a white glove. It was shockingly a peak divine lord mystic treasure!


    Immediately after, Xiahou Yun''s aura skyrocketed. An aura that was even more horrifying than before spread out.


    "Annihilation Divine Fist!"


    Ye Yuan slowly pulled out the Junyi Sword, his entire person becoming illusory.


    "Hang on, where''s Ye Yuan''s sword?"


    "Yeah, I clearly saw him holding his sword in his hand just now, why is it gone?"


    "This �� Do you feel that Ye Yuan''s entire person is somewhat surreal?"

 1721 I Admit Defea

    Xiahou Yun''s expression changed. A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.


    But the arrow was notched on the bow and already had no choice but to release!


    "DIE!"


    World power turned into an invisible fist force, striking until space distorted.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved as well.


    "Misty Sword Art �� Spirit Concealing Sword!"


    This sword move was Ye Yuan''s strongest move after he comprehended Third Firmament spatial law and merged Sword Dao laws.


    It was only to see his figure move turning into an afterimage and pouncing straight for Xiahou Yun!


    Swish!


    No earth-shattering collision sound. People only heard a subtle noise.


    The battle came to an abrupt end!


    Quicker than words could tell.


    Actually, it was just that blink of an eye. The two people separated upon contact.


    Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there, the Junyi Sword revealed itself once more.


    "This �� Who won?"


    "Don''t know, too fast! I didn''t see clearly!"


    "What a strange fight!"


    ...


    Everyone looked at the two motionless people on the ring. All of them were struck senseless.


    The judge had a shocked look and did not come back to his senses for a long while.


    The sword earlier was too stunning!


    Those geniuses were all very weak. Not perceiving it was very normal.


    But he, an Eighth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse, naturally saw clearly at a glance!


    The beauty of Ye Yuan''s sword was fleeting.


    Passing quickly in an instant, but gorgeous and eternal.


    One sword emerging, directly breached Xiahou Yun''s fist force, and kiledl Xiahou Yun!"


    The judge said in a solemn voice, "Ye Yuan wins, Xiahou Yun is defeated and dead!"


    "What? Dead?" On the grandstands, a series of exclamations immediately came over.


    Right then, Xiahou Yun''s body suddenly split into two from the center, toppling onto the ground stiffly.


    Xiahou Yun was actually cleaved into two. But because Ye Yuan''s sword was too fast, he maintained a standing posture all along. Others simply could not discover it.


    Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, the Xiahou Yun who comprehended the law of wind and destruction law was actually killed by Ye Yuan with one sword!


    Those people who were still mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his ability previously all opened their mouths wide right now.


    Only now did they understand that he was not posturing. He was actually really amazing!


    A Third Firmament Divine Lord actually killed the Sixth Firmament Divine Lord Xiahou Yun with one sword. This achievement was too dazzling.


    Not far away, two figures coincidentally bumped into each other.


    Mo Fei was the other Sixth Firmament Divine Lord genius.


    Mo Fei gave Jiang Nan a glance and said, "Aren''t you the same too?"


    Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Heh heh, you''re a little weak. The Hundred Battles Arena this time, the one who can arouse my interest is also just Xiahou Yun."


    Mo Fei''s expression turned cold. Jiang Nan laughed and waved his hand as he said, "Haha, if you have the strength, use it in the ring. It''s boring to hit me right now. Since we ran into each other, go and take a look together."


    Mo Fei shot Jiang Nan a glare, snorted coldly, and walked over towards the sixth arena.


    "Eh? Already ended? Looks like Xiahou Yun indeed did not encounter any decent opponent �� mn?"


    Jiang Nan''s words were said halfway when his expression suddenly changed, that lazy manner was swept clean.


    Because he saw the corpse that was currently being dragged away by people on the ring.


    Mo Fei similarly trembled all over and said in disbelief, "D-Dead? The Hundred Battles Arena this time, there''s actually someone who can kill Xiahou Yun?"


    "Heh heh, looks like a remarkable fellow appeared this time!" Jiang Nan said.


    Mo Fei looked towards Jiang Nan and said doubtfully, "Could it be that a powerful Fifth Firmament Divine Lord appeared this time? But I didn''t hear about it!"


    At this time, Jiang Nan returned to that lazy manner and said with a smile, "We will know who it is tomorrow."


    ...


    On the second day, all seats were occupied at the martial arts field.


    Compared to the group stage previously, today''s final battle was the highlight.


    Not just because those selected were experts among experts, but also because this session determined who would get the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord''s guidance.


    The eight winners lined up on the first arena. But the other six people''s gazes looked over towards that young man in the sixth position.


    There was still one person left who had an expression like it was logical and natural. That person was naturally Ning Tianping.


    Ning Tianping finally surmounted numerous difficulties and still obtained a spot in the end.


    At that moment, he was filled with lofty sentiments!


    It was not long before that he was also a genius; however, he was merely a bottom-most tier genius even though still part of the imperial city''s level.


    But now, he could already stand out among the geniuses of several hundred imperial cities and become a winner.


    As for Ye Yuan obtaining a seat, that was something that went without saying.


    So what if the opponent is a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord? It was not enough to look at in front of His Excellency at all.


    But in other people''s view, it was totally not the case.


    Especially Jiang Nan and Mo Fei, when they saw Ye Yuan, they were shocked until their jaws almost fell off.


    A Third Firmament Divine Lord!


    The one who killed Xiahou Yun was actually a Third Firmament Divine Lord!


    Yesterday, they had thought of countless possibilities but never could have they thought that it was a Third Firmament Divine Lord.


    If Xiahou Yun was defeated, they would not be so shocked either.


    But Xiahou Yun was dead!


    Experts exchanging blows, defeating and killing were two completely different concepts.


    Especially on the ring, the difficulty of killing the other party was even greater.


    Because the other party could concede.


    Want to kill the other party, unless the other party did not have time to admit defeat at all, just like Xiahou Yun versus Gao Shun previously.


    A Third Firmament Divine Lord could actually make Xiahou Yun not even have the time to admit defeat, this was simply too inconceivable.


    Gone were Jiang Nan''s old laziness. Shock was written all over his face.


    Experts like them, there were only that one or two opponents in their eyes. How could they pay attention to others?


    Even though Ye Yuan caused quite a considerable stir in the sixth group, before battling with Xiahou Yun, no one was optimistic about it at all.


    Therefore, Jiang Nan did not know Ye Yuan at all.


    At this time, the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s head elder said a bunch, then said to these eight people, "Three days later, the eight of you come to the Profound Secrets Pavilion. There will naturally be the grand elder to give you all guidance. Now, the eight of you each face-off, and decide the final winner! At that time, Profound Secrets Pavilion will personally view your aura and perform divination for you."


    The other five people were very happy at this time. But Jiang Nan and Mo Fei could not become happy no matter what.


    They came here aiming for the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord.


    But now �� it seemed a little tricky!


    The two people looked at Ye Yuan without prior agreement, revealing solemn looks.


    Speaking of which was coincidental too, the final eight, Ye Yuan''s opponent was actually Ning Tianping.


    The two people had yet to go up the ring and Ning Tianping directly forfeited.


    Got to be joking, fighting with His Excellency, wasn''t it looking for abuse?


    He was abused like hell even at Second Firmament Divine Lord. Now that he was Third Firmament Divine Lord, it was sufficient to one-shot Fifth Firmament Divine Lords.


    At home, no matter how he was abused, it was fine.


    Outside, he still wanted face.


    The final four was born. But the opponent that Ye Yuan ran into this time was Jiang Nan.


    On the grandstands, the audience was incomparably excited, because they could see another great battle.


    Jiang Nan became that lazy noble young master again. He stared at Ye Yuan, sizing him up for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I admit defeat."

 1722 This Was a Difficult Problem!

    "What did Jiang Nan say? Admit defeat?"


    "Is there a mistake? A favorite to win the championship, he actually conceded ��"


    "This �� actually withdrew without a fight, this guy is so timid!"


    ...


    Everyone originally thought that they could see an exciting showdown. Who knew that Jiang Nan directly admitted defeat the moment he came up. This made everyone''s jaws drop.


    Everyone thought that this final eight showdown would startle heaven and earth and make gods and ghosts weep.


    Who knew that the first round, Ning Tianping directly forfeited. In the second round, Jiang Nan directly admitted defeat.


    Could it be funnier or not?


    If it were others, forget it. But Jiang Nan was a favorite to win the championship.


    Although Xiahou Yun was very strong, no one felt that Jiang Nan was worse than him. He was even a notch stronger.


    Now, he actually directly admitted defeat without even fighting.


    "You could kill Xiahou Yun, but I can''t do it. So �� there''s nothing to fight about. You''re stronger than me. Things that waste strength, better not do it." Jiang Nan waved his hand dismissively and went straight down the ring.


    Ye Yuan was stunned too, not expecting that this guy was actually so shameless.


    Reaching his level, even if he clearly knew that there was no hope, he would always struggle.


    But this guy did not seem to have any interest in anything.


    But being able to win without fighting, Ye Yuan naturally had nothing to complain about.


    On the other side, Mo Fei also defeated his opponent neatly and tidily.


    This way, the final showdown was between Ye Yuan and Mo Fei.


    During the break, Mo Fei went to find Jiang Nan and said with an unhappy look, "Do you still want face or not? To actually directly admit defeat!"


    Jiang Nan said with a nonchalant look, "Clearly know that can''t beat, still waste that strength for what? What if he cleaves me into two with one sword? That death state is too disgusting, I don''t wish to become like Xiahou Yun."


    Mo Fei''s expression could not help changing when he heard that. Recalling Xiahou Yun''s death state, a chill immediately welled up in his heart.


    Jiang Nan said it lightly, actually, he was the same as him, scared!


    If they really exchanged blows, life and death were hard to say.


    Just how strong Ye Yuan was, they did not see it with their own eyes. No one could say for sure.


    Moreover, if Ye Yuan was a bloodthirsty person, then the consequence �� could only be being split in half.


    Thinking up to here, Mo Fei''s face fell and he said angrily, "Jiang Nan, you despicable villain!"


    Jiang Nan shrugged his shoulders and said with a lazy look, "Don''t you malign a good person, I only don''t want to make a fearless sacrifice."


    Jiang Nan smiled lazily and said, "Of course I want, but I don''t want to use my life to go and see!"


    Mo Fei gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "So, you intentionally conceded to let me go and test his depths?"


    Jiang Nan smiled and said, "You can decide not to test him. I am not forcing you."


    "You!" Mo Fei gnashed his teeth in hatred but was helpless about it.


    This guy''s curiosity was absolutely not less than his.


    Reaching their realm, it was already very hard to encounter a match in the same rank.


    But now, an incredible Third Firmament Divine Lord suddenly popped out, jumping three minor realms to kill Xiahou Yun. How could they not be curious?


    But curiosity kills the cat!


    Sometimes, wanting to satisfy one''s curiosity had to pay with one''s life as the price!


    Very unfortunately, Jiang Nan ran into Ye Yuan first, then he admitted defeat very shamelessly.


    He looked at Ye Yuan on the stage for a long time and finally said those three words. It could be seen that he had also experienced a struggle in his heart.


    In the end, this massive difficult problem was thrown to him.


    Then, was he admitting defeat or not?


    This was a difficult problem!


    It was also precisely because so that Mo Fei would curse Jiang Nan for being despicable.


    Mo Fei immediately felt a headache come on. He really wanted to see just what Ye Yuan relied on to kill Xiahou Yun.


    However, if his outcome was the same as Xiahou Yun, then it would be really fun.


    "The final showdown begins, Ye Yuan versus Mo Fei!"


    Right at this time, the judge''s voice sounded out, making Mo Fei''s heart tighten.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked up the stage. Mo Fei''s expression changed again and again, but he did not move his feet.


    Jiang Nan saw him not moving and reminded him nonchalantly, "Hey, your turn."


    Mo Fei was currently struggling fiercely in his heart, his feet seemed to have taken root.


    At this time, everyone''s gazes were focused on Mo Fei.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Mo Fei moved his feet. It just appeared rather heavy.


    Arriving on the ring and meeting eyes with Ye Yuan, Mo Fei felt like he was dreaming.


    Because taking part in the Hundred Battles Arena, he never thought that his last opponent was actually this young man in front of him.


    He had thought before that his opponent would be Xiahou Yun or Jiang Nan. He even thought of the possibility of facing some very formidable Fifth Firmament Divine Lords..


    But a Third Firmament Divine Lord, he would not even think about it.


    The pressure that this Third Firmament Divine Lord in front of him brought to him was too great.


    Test the sword with his life or not?


    "What''s with Mo Fei? He wasn''t like this before!"


    "Isn''t that so? His aura that showed disdain on all under the heavens when on the ring, who can block it? What''s going on now?"


    "He wouldn''t be the same as Jiang Nan, also directly admitting defeat, right?"


    ...


    On the grandstands, there were still many people who did not know the truth.


    Even in the match before this, Mo Fei still had the air of an expert, cold and fierce.


    But now, his temperament changed drastically, making quite a few people feel extremely puzzled.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mo Fei and also had a blank expression.


    Did fighting with him have so much pressure?


    Can beat, then fight. Can''t beat, then admit defeat, what''s the big deal!


    Ye Yuan completely did not know how great the psychological impact of him killing Xiahou Yun with one sword had on these two.


    Under normal circumstances, Ye Yuan would not kill so viciously either.


    But he had no grudge nor enmity with Xiahou Yun and the other party actually wanted to kill him in the ring, this was intolerable.


    Actually, killing Xiahou Yun, it was not easy for Ye Yuan at all too.


    His ease was only in the eyes of outsiders.


    Right at this moment, Mo Fei seemingly made a huge resolve. Sucking in a deep breath, he stared intently at Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, I wish to witness that move you killed Xiahou Yun with!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up, immediately understanding something, and said with a nod, "Okay!"


    Below the stage, when Jiang Nan heard Mo Fei''s words, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile like his wicked scheme succeeded.


    In the ring, Mo Fei was akin to facing a great adversary, waiting in full battle-array.


    Ye Yuan slowly drew the Junyi Sword. The aura on his body suddenly changed, becoming fleeting and ephemeral.


    Just like last time, Ye Yuan''s sword vanished!


    When Mo Fei and Jiang Nan saw this sword, their expressions immediately changed drastically.


    "Sword Dao law fused with spatial law!" Jiang Nan''s expression changed greatly as he said.


    Supreme laws, wanting to fuse them was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    At this moment, they finally understood why Xiahou Yun would be killed.


    This sword move, who could block?


    A feeling of immense danger welled up in his heart, Mo Fei opened his mouth and was about to throw in the towel.


    However, it was already too late.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan already moved.


    Mo Fei''s words were directly stuck in his throat.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared!

 1723 Pavilion Lord Appears

    Cries of exclamations came from the grandstands. The two people separated upon contact.


    When he appeared again, Ye Yuan was already at Mo Fei there.


    Jiang Nan retreated several steps in a row. It was as if this sword was unleashed against him.


    "S-So strong! Xiahou Yun �� died under this sword? Then Mo Fei ��"


    Jiang Nan broke out in cold sweat, incomparably rejoicing in his heart that luckily, he did not test the sword himself.


    Otherwise �� the consequences were too ghastly to imagine!


    Even though this sword was not directed at Jiang Nan, he felt like it was.


    If it were him, he would not be much better than Mo Fei.


    No wonder Xiahou Yun died under Ye Yuan''s sword.


    Ye Yuan put away the Junyi Sword, slowly turned around, and said coolly, "Done."


    Mo Fei seemed to have had a paralyzing hex cast on him. Hearing Ye Yuan''s word, Mo Fei''s soul finally came back.


    It was only to see his pupils constricted as if he saw some horrifying thing, gasping heavily for air. The sweat on his body was like he was dragged out of the water.


    "T-Thank you for showing mercy!" Mo Fei panted and said.


    At this time, Mo Fei seemed to have made a trip to and back from the gates of hell.


    He knew that if not for Ye Yuan showing mercy, his outcome would be the same as Xiahou Yun''s.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "You and I have no grievances, so what would I kill you for?"


    "I �� I lost!" Mo Fei directly admitted defeat.


    Jiang Nan could not help being a little surprised that Mo Fei did not die.


    He even thought that Mo Fei was already killed.


    That sword just now was too bizarre. He could not see the reality of it at all.


    The sword move that merged spatial law and Sword Dao law was too horrifying.


    "Someone as strong as Mo Fei is actually without the slightest strength to retaliate in front of him!"


    "No wonder Jiang Nan directly admitted defeat. Looks like �� he knew that he was not Ye Yuan''s match!"


    "I really didn''t expect that the champion of the Hundred Battles Arena this time, is actually a Third Firmament Divine Lord! It''s still the first time in history, right?"


    "I''m really somewhat curious now, just what color is this Ye Yuan''s destiny?"


    ...


    On the grandstands, cries of exclamations linked up.


    Before this Hundred Battles Arena, no one could have thought that the final winner would actually be a Third Firmament Divine Lord.


    The judge looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and announced, "This season''s Hundred Battles Arena, the winner is �� Ye Yuan! Now, the final eight all step up to the ring!"


    The other six people were uncertain what it meant but still went up the ring.


    Suddenly, a cluster of powerful auras emerged from the void, immediately causing a stir.


    Even Ye Yuan''s countenance changed slightly too.


    Seven Celestial Deity powerhouses appearing together, this commotion was truly astonishing.


    More importantly, among these seven great celestial deities, each person''s strength was not inferior to Jiang Jadehall''s. Ye Yuan could not see through them at all.


    One had to know, Jiang Jadehall was a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse!


    This was Extreme Light Imperial City''s strength!


    Similar to an imperial city, a casual grand elder from Extreme Light Imperial City coming out could easily destroy Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    However, this was not over yet.


    After the seven people, another figure stepped out of the void.


    Ever since after those seven great Celestial Deity powerhouses retreated behind the old man, they bowed slightly to show respect.


    On the grandstands, a clever person immediately reacted.


    "That''s �� That''s Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord, Jian Hongxiao!"


    "My God! The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord is mysterious and unfathomable. No one has ever seen his true face before. I didn''t expect that this time, he actually appeared!"


    "Tsk tsk, looks like Extreme Light Imperial City attaches great importance to the Hundred Battles Arena this time! Really very curious just what kind of destiny that Ye Yuan has!"


    ...


    Below was seething with excitement. Even the geniuses on the stage all felt honored seeing Jian Hongxiao''s appearance.


    They came here to compete in martial arts from afar, even risking their lives, wasn''t it for the sake of getting Jian Hongxiao''s guidance?


    This was a godlike figure!


    The young geniuses that he gave guidance to all became an overlord of a region.


    The talk of destiny was fleeting and ephemeral. Even though they all used the aura viewing art, different cultivation, different understanding of Dao, the things seen were completely different.


    Similarly seeing seven colors, but this aura viewing art was clearly not what seven colors could summarize.


    Just like Jian Ping, he could only see a blurry color when he looked at Xiahou Yun. But if it were his master, Jian Shaoning, looking, he would be able to see the divination contained within the color.


    If it was Jian Hongxiao, it would be another scenery.


    The stronger the strength, the clearer the divination seen. The guidance given would naturally be greatly different.


    These grand elders'' strength had long mastered the profound already. But compared to Jian Hongxiao, it was more than a level inferior.


    Therefore, each time the Hundred Battles Arena was hosted, these geniuses still came without hesitation even though they knew that this trip was dangerous.


    But Ye Yuan did not have much reaction towards this.


    Because he knew that his life path, even Jian Hongxiao could not discern it too.


    Moreover, he had already seen Jian Hongxiao. Jian Hongxiao was also not that mysterious in front of him anymore.


    The current Jian Hongxiao looked just like an amiable grandfather and did not have much air.


    Different from the powerful pressure emitting off the other grand elders'' bodies, the feeling that he gave people was somewhat vague and mysterious, extremely profound.


    Perhaps, this was the difference in realm.


    Jian Hongxiao''s face carried a faint smile as he said, "The Hundred Battles Arena this time seems to have produced quite a number of prodigious figures! Not bad, not bad, among these final eight, there''s actually a purple destiny, and two blue destiny. Looks like a great era is coming!"


    "What? There''s actually a purple destiny?! Who is it?"


    "You fool, who else can the purple destiny be still? Of course it''s that Ye Yuan!"


    "Goodness gracious, truly remarkable! Purple destiny, if lucky, that''s an existence who can achieve the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    ...


    Jian Hongxiao''s words immediately caused an uproar.


    With him speaking, naturally no one would doubt it.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled slightly and said, "The few of you, don''t employ the aura viewing art, your eyes will go blind!"


    These words were clearly said to the seven great Celestial Deity powerhouses behind him.


    Hearing Jian Hongxiao''s words, everyone naturally became curious and wanted to use the aura viewing art, but was immediately frightened by Jian Hongxiao''s words.


    Below, everyone was extremely puzzled.


    Using the aura viewing art could blind the eyes?


    This �� was simply unheard of!


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "Everyone must be very curious why this old man will show up this time."


    Hearing this, everyone all nodded their heads.


    Indeed, normally after the Hundred Battles Arena ended, it was all the grand elders coming out to summarize it. Jian Hongxiao would never show up.


    But this time, he made an exception.


    Jian Hongxiao continued and said, "This old man showing up this time is to announce two things. Everyone must think that Ye Yuan has purple destiny. Actually, it isn''t him. The one who has the purple destiny is that young man called Ning Tianping. As for the two blue destinies, it''s Jiang Nan and Mo Fei."

 1724 Borrowing Power

    "What? That Fifth Firmament Divine Lord? Purple destiny?"


    "What a joke! His destiny is actually even higher than Jiang Nan''s and Mo Fei''s?"


    "Oh please, do you think that the pavilion lord will crack this sort of joke with you?"


    ...


    Everyone was stunned!


    No one could have thought that Ning Tianping was actually the person with the most exuberant destiny among these people.


    Whether or not one''s destiny was exuberant, strength occupied a very large proportion.


    Under normal circumstances, the stronger one''s strength among peers, the more exuberant the destiny.


    But this was not absolute. Everyone knew this.


    It was just that, Ning Tianping was seriously too ordinary!


    Even though his strength was also pretty good, compared to Jiang Nan and Mo Fei, it was far too lacking.


    So everyone was not willing to believe no matter what that he was the person with the strongest destiny among these eight people.


    Jiang Nan and Mo Fei also looked at Ning Tianping in surprise, their eyes carrying a hint of unwillingness.


    "M-Me? Purple destiny?"


    Ning Tianping pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.


    Seven years ago, Jian Zhentao had once viewed his aura before. At that time, he was still just blue destiny.


    Who knew that seven years passed, he actually already evolved into purple destiny!


    Staying in Extreme Light Imperial City for so many years, Ning Tianping more or less had some understanding of destiny too.


    He reckoned that before he followed His Excellency, his destiny was at most just yellow destiny.


    These several hundred years went by, he actually already transformed into purple destiny!


    Purple destiny, which was also called purple extreme aura, was the most thriving existence among normal people''s destiny.


    People who possessed purple extreme aura had a very high possibility of reaching the True God Realm!


    At an imperial city this level, this was extremely rare.


    Because of the inheritances of imperial cities, the vast majority were all Celestial Deity legacies. Rarely did True God legacies exist.


    Even if there were, wanting to truly reach the True God Realm was also as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Hence, everyone''s shock could be imagined.


    The Hundred Battles Arena had been hosted for at least several hundred seasons already. But up till now, purple extreme aura genius martial artists that appeared could be counted on one hand!


    It could be seen from this how rare purple extreme aura was.


    But he actually possessed purple extreme aura now. This was all His Excellency''s credit!


    Several hundred years'' time, from the most, most ordinary yellow destiny, transforming into the seldom-seen purple extreme aura, this was absolutely a carp leaping over the dragon gate!


    "No, no, no, how can this kid dare to doubt Pavilion Lord''s words? This kid just �� just feels a little like I can''t believe it. After all, this kid only originated from the most remote and low-order imperial city. Purple extreme aura, that''s what I didn''t even dare to think about in the past!" Ning Tianping said somewhat incoherently.


    However, these words were akin to a bolt out of the blue in other people''s ears.


    "What? His �� His background is actually a low-order imperial city!"


    "Are you kidding? A low-order imperial city can actually produce a purple extreme aura?"


    "This guy is bent on coming to beat people down, right? I f*cking only want to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into right now!"


    ...


    These geniuses were virtually about to break down when they heard Ning Tianping''s words.


    In low-order imperial cities, Celestial Deity Realms were merely three or five. Their legacies were also pitifully weak, resources were also very scarce.


    How could this kind of place possibly produce a purple extreme aura?


    Picked up a True God legacy?


    If this kind of thing was so easy, there would not be so many people with no accomplishment to their name.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "A person''s destiny is not static. For you to be able to have your present destiny, it''s naturally being tainted by the aura of your benefactor. As the saying goes: when one man attains Dao, his fowls and dogs ascend to heaven too. It''s this logic."


    Ning Tianping''s heart became clear. He naturally knew who his benefactor was. Looking over toward Ye Yuan with a grateful look, he said, "Your Excellency, d-did you heard that? I �� I''m actually purple extreme aura now!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad! Your efforts over these few years finally paid off!"


    Regardless of whether the other final six on the stage or the audience on the grandstand, they did not know much about Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping''s relationship.


    Hearing Ning Tianping called Ye Yuan ''Your Excellency'' at this time, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    Only then did they abruptly startle awake. There was still Ye Yuan!


    A purple aura, two blue auras, then what was Ye Yuan?


    Previously, everyone was still wondering why Ye Yuan who got the first place was not as high as Jiang Nan, or even Ning Tianping?


    It was also not weird that they thought so. After all, imperial aura this kind of existence had never appeared in history before.


    As for the emperor surmounting aura, that went even more without saying.


    They did not even dare to think about it!


    And now, this purple extreme aura actually called Ye Yuan ''Your Excellency'', then that meant that he was just a follower of Ye Yuan!


    In addition to what Pavilion Lord said just now, Ning Tianping was tainted by the aura of a benefactor.


    Then how horrifying was Ye Yuan''s destiny?


    Jian Hongxiao did not let them wonder for too long, he smiled and said, "Huhu, everyone guessed correctly! The first thing that this old man is going to announce is that the first imperial aura finally appeared at the Hundred Battles Arena! He is Ye Yuan! Furthermore, his destiny is extremely flourishing, a pinnacle existence!"


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    The grandstand immediately burst into an uproar.


    "Imperial aura! It''s actually the legendary imperial aura! No wonder �� No wonder he can overpower Jiang Nan!"


    "My God, really can see everything if you live long! This old man actually saw an imperial aura in this lifetime!"


    "F*ck me! I really want to be friends with me! No, wait, being a follower works! Let me be tainted with his immortal qi too!"


    "Lord Ye Yuan, are you lacking a bed-warming maid or not? I''m willing!"


    "Hahaha!"


    ...


    Jian Hongxiao did not say emperor surmounting aura because that was too astonishing.


    But imperial aura was already sufficiently astounding!


    On the grandstands, no one was envious of Ye Yuan''s imperial aura at all.


    They were all envious of Ning Tianping!


    Holy shit, a puny little genius from a low-order imperial city made a meteoric rise after following Ye Yuan, rushing to purple extreme aura all at once.


    Could this kind of destiny be a little more heaven-defying?


    Seeing Ning Tianping, they all understood a logic: following Ye Yuan one would have meat to eat!


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Hongxiao with a helpless look, but Jian Hongxiao also cast a slightly apologetic gaze.


    Ye Yuan naturally understood that Jian Hongxiao was borrowing his destiny to promote Extreme Light Imperial City''s name.


    The Hundred Battles Arena producing an imperial aura, once this news spread out, it would immediately cause a sensation.


    This was naturally a good thing to Extreme Light Imperial City.


    According to Ye Yuan''s idea, it was naturally the more low-profile, the better.


    But that person was Jian Hongxiao, so what could he do?


    Want to borrow power and influence, borrow it then.


    You''re awesome, you have the final say!


    Who asked us to have to ask you for help?


    Jian Hongxiao did a hand gesture, indicating for everyone to be quiet.


    Only after seeing everyone quieten down did Jian Hongxiao slowly say, "Such a joyous occasion is naturally worth this old man taking a trip out. Uh, this second matter �� it is that the next season''s Hundred Battles Arena will be postponed till after 1000 years."

 1725 A Myriad of Stars Surrounding the Moon

    "What?! A thousand years later?"


    "What''s going on? Then �� wouldn''t I have no chance anymore?"


    "I was still waiting to come and take part the next time. A thousand years later �� I''ll exceed the age requirement."


    ...


    Jian Hongxiao''s words dropped another heavyweight bombshell. Wails immediately filled the air.


    A single period of 300 years, some geniuses had not grown strong enough yet. There was still a chance in the future.


    But a thousand years later, the vast majority of these geniuses would all be over the age limit.


    At that time, they completely would not have a chance anymore.


    Presently, Extreme Light Imperial City''s signboard was extremely resounding. These geniuses getting Extreme Light Imperial City''s grand elders'' recognitions would be equivalent to plating on a layer of gold. Their statuses would be completely different.


    It was also precisely because of so that Extreme Light Imperial City would be famous far and near.


    A thousand years was too long!


    Many geniuses could not wait!


    But in Jian Hongxiao''s view, ten thousand people added up was also not as important as Ye Yuan.


    To be able to make a young man who possessed the emperor surmounting aura owe him a favor was more worthwhile than a thousand, ten thousand purple extreme auras added up.


    Having an emperor surmounting aura, that was an existence who could become a Heavenly Emperor!


    Ten thousand true gods added up was also not as important as a future Heavenly Emperor''s favor, wasn''t that so?


    For this, so what if he suffered Heavenly Dao''s backlash?


    "Alright, all disperse then! The eight of you, come to my Profound Secrets Pavilion tomorrow for face-to-face instructions on how to proceed!" Jian Hongxiao waved his hand and disappeared.


    The Hundred Battles Arena was also considered to have successfully concluded now.


    But on the grandstands, two sinister and ruthless gazes looked over toward Ye Yuan.


    One was Jian Ping, while the other �� was a girl.


    The girl looked at Ye Yuan with a hateful expression on her face as she gritted her teeth and said, "Big Brother Yun, this enmity, I''ll definitely help you avenge it!"


    Finished talking, she left the martial arts field along with the crowd.


    Jian Ping''s gaze looked at the Jiang Mengqing in the crowd, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    "Ye Yuan, I can''t do anything to you in Extreme Light Imperial City. But �� you killed Xiahou Yun, so just wait for the endless pursuit!"


    Jiang Mengqing was Xiahou Yun''s junior sister, and also his lover.


    The reason why he promised Jian Ping to kill Ye Yuan was that he wanted to ask Jian Ping for help, hoping to invite Jian Shaoning to view Jiang Mengqing''s aura.


    Below, the final eight all came up to congratulate Ye Yuan.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was already totally different in everyone''s eyes.


    These geniuses were all extremely arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. Normally, they looked down on everyone.


    But a genius in possession of the imperial aura was destined to be someone of a different world from them.


    Even if they were losers, it was also a cinch for imperial aura geniuses to break through to the True God Realm.


    While their final objective was also merely peak Celestial Deity Realm.


    Hence, for Ye Yuan to get first place, they had nothing to be unconvinced of.


    Moreover, becoming friends with Ye Yuan might be able to get tainted with some of his immortal qi, letting their destiny grow stronger and break through to purple extreme aura, who knew?


    After all, Ning Tianping was a living example.


    Being jealous of people''s destiny did not have any benefits at all. On the contrary, becoming good friends with him could make up for a bit of destiny.


    How to choose, the geniuses present were all not fools and naturally understood in their hearts.


    "Turns out that Brother Ye actually possesses the imperial aura, no wonder you had such terrifying strength at a young age, Mo Fei admires!" Mo Fei said from the bottom of his heart.


    Ye Yuan showed leniency, Mo Fei was also endlessly grateful.


    Under that sort of circumstance, Ye Yuan could completely deal a killing blow.


    One had to know, not killing people until that kind of situation was even harder than to actually kill people!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You and I have no grievances nor enmity, so what would I kill you for? It''s just competing in martial arts, deciding relative superiority and inferiority will do. Xiahou Yun was different from you all. He was hired by someone and wanted to kill me in the ring. If he wants to kill me, he naturally has to be prepared to be killed by me."


    The moment everyone heard, they suddenly saw the light.


    No wonder Ye Yuan acted so ruthlessly. It turned out that it was actually Xiahou Yun who wanted to kill him!


    Xiahou Yun''s destiny should also be blue color barring no accidents. It was just too bad that he provoked someone he should not have provoked, to actually want to kill an imperial aura existence. What was this if not courting death?


    It was just that prior to this, none of them could have imagined that the Hundred Battles Arena this time actually had a genius who possessed imperial aura emerge.


    Jiang Nan suddenly said, "If this is the case, then Brother Ye has to be more careful. Xiahou Yun''s father, Xiahou Wenjian, values Xiahou Yun greatly. If he knows that Xiahou Yun died at Brother Ye''s hands, he likely won''t drop the matter."


    Ye Yuan''s heart turned cold and he said with clasped hands, "Many thanks for Brother Jiang Nan''s reminder. This Ye got it!"


    Jiang Nan smiled and said, "This Jiang originates from Zilian Imperial City. If Brother Ye has free time in the future, you can come to my Zilian Imperial City to be a guest. This Jiang will definitely treat you as a guest of honor!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Definitely, definitely!"


    For some time, everyone surrounded Ye Yuan, all showing great hospitality.


    Even the Ning Tianping by the side had no one dare to neglect him too.


    After all, a purple extreme aura powerhouse, his future accomplishments were hard to say!


    Ning Tianping never thought that he would one day be flattered and ingratiated upon by so many geniuses had felt like he was treading on air.


    ...


    The next day, Ye Yuan came to the Profound Secrets Pavilion once more and entered Jian Hongxiao''s shabby room.


    When Jian Hongxiao saw Ye Yuan, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, indeed worthy of having the emperor surmounting aura. Little Friend''s performance far exceeded this old man''s imagination! Tsk tsk, Sword Dao law integrated with spatial law, that sword move was truly amazing! Furthermore, you even dual cultivate laws and body, truly broadening this old man''s horizons!"


    Very clearly, he had always been paying attention to Ye Yuan''s battle.


    His surprise at Ye Yuan was not the least bit less than the others.


    Ye Yuan''s realm was not considered the best among young martial artists.


    But considering dual cultivating laws and body, Sword Dao law fused with spatial law, these few things combined together, that would be impressive.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is too kind, Ye Yuan merely encountered some fortuitous encounters."


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "To our Jian Family, everything and anything is closely related to your destiny. Lucky chances are naturally a part of destiny too. Little Friend Ye Yuan, this old man borrowed your power and influence this time without your consent. I hope that you don''t take offense!"


    Compared to the last time, Jian Hongxiao''s attitude was clearly lowered significantly.


    This kind of transformation was naturally related to Ye Yuan''s performance on the Hundred Battles Arena.


    Actually, he did not judge that Ye Yuan possessed the emperor surmounting aura using the aura viewing art. He simply guessed it.


    Although his strength was strong, he also did not dare to randomly use the aura viewing art to look at Ye Yuan.


    If he was backlashed by Heavenly Dao, his old bones would be considered a goner.


    Making Ye Yuan go take part in the Hundred Battles Arena, on one hand, it was naturally because it was inconvenient for him to take action many times.


    While on the other hand, there was also the intention of observing Ye Yuan from the sidelines.


    Clearly, the strength that Ye Yuan displayed was much greater than he expected!


    And this also strengthened his judgment even more that Ye Yuan possessed the emperor surmounting aura!


    So seeing Ye Yuan again, Jian Hongxiao apologized first.

 1726 Epiphany

    "As I said before, as long as Senior can help me find my loved ones, I''m willing to pay any price. What does this small matter count for?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "Little Friend is really someone who values relationships. Since that''s the case, then let''s start! But �� this old man doesn''t have full assurance either. I can only say I''ll try my best."


    Ye Yuan''s expression turned somber and he suddenly became a little nervous as he said, "Senior just do your best, and that will do. Ye Yuan is endlessly grateful."


    Ye Yuan knew that regardless of success or failure, Jian Hongxiao would definitely suffer Heavenly Dao''s backlash.


    Just this alone, he owed Jian Hongxiao a massive favor.


    Jian Hongxiao nodded his head and said, "Come with me."


    Finished talking, Jian Hongxiao went with his hands behind his back, turning around and entering the inner-room.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly got up and also followed in.


    Upon entering the door, Ye Yuan seemed to have arrived at a mysterious world again.


    Inside here, gave him a feeling of stirring up the soul.


    In the center was a massive Tai Ji diagram, Yin and Yang blended together on the Tai Ji diagram.


    All around, Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, Dui, the eight positions were clearly marked.


    The Tai Ji diagram revolved on its own, giving birth to rays of soft light, filling the entire space.


    It was as if this space was derived from the diagram.


    Regarding the Tai Ji diagram, Ye Yuan was not foreign to it.


    Back then, when he was still in the Immortal Grove World, he had once refined a pill with Great Dao. It condensed a Tai Ji diagram at that time.


    This Tai Ji diagram was extremely profound. The feeling that it gave Ye Yuan was as if it was chaos.


    His own Great Dao pill refinement condensing a Tai Ji diagram, this derivation of heaven''s secrets similarly used the Tai Ji diagram.


    Could it be that there was some connection between the two?


    For a moment, Ye Yuan''s mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and ideas, and started thinking about the origin of Great Dao.


    Very clearly, there was a hint of vague connection between the Tai Ji diagram and Heavenly Dao.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan entered a mysterious kind of state.


    "Little Friend, what are you standing outside the Tai Ji Eight Diagrams, ruminating quiet- ��"


    Jian Hongxiao''s words were said halfway when he discovered that Ye Yuan walked toward the Tai Ji Eight Diagrams. He could not help getting a big shock.


    He wanted to pull him, but it was already too late.


    "Can''t enter ��"


    Jian Hongxiao''s words were said halfway when his eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    This Tai Ji Eight Diagrams was set up in his heyday. It contained his lifetime''s understanding of Heavenly Dao.


    However, Ye Yuan actually leaped in just like that and entered effortlessly.


    Ye Yuan stood in the center of the Tai Ji diagram, both eyes tightly shut. It was as if he was oblivious to outside things.


    Jian Hongxiao''s gaze revealed a look of shock as he said, "This kid �� had an epiphany? His understanding of Heavenly Dao actually already reached such a degree?"


    Jian Hongxiao was incomparably shocked in his heart. One had to know, he studied for a million years before he had his present accomplishments.


    How old was Ye Yuan?


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan started moving.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan hold a ball with body hands, the shape of the Tai Ji image condensed and formed in front of him.


    Then, Ye Yuan''s two arms started to wave rhythmically. That Tai Ji picture also started to slowly turn.


    This tempo was akin to the scene of his Great Dao pill refinement back then.


    Jian Hongxiao''s entire body trembled and he cried out, "Great Dao pill refinement! He''s deducing Alchemy Dao! This kid �� his Alchemy Dao actually already reached such a boundary, truly inconceivable!"


    For Jian Hongxiao to be able to derive such a profound Tai Ji Eight Diagrams, his horizons were far from what the average Celestial Deity Realm could compare to.


    Ye Yuan Tai Ji image had the ingenuity of achieving the same goal via different means with his Tai Ji picture but was also greatly different.


    What Ye Yuan walked was the alchemy path, while what he walked was the profound path. The two were poles apart but also arrived at the same goal through different means.


    The moment Ye Yuan saw the Tai Ji picture, it immediately made his Alchemy Dao produce a resonance, letting him enter the state of sudden epiphany.


    Back then, Ye Yuan performed Great Dao pill refinement in the Immortal Grove World. But that did not mean that he could still refine pills with Great Dao when he reached the Heavenspan World.


    There was a huge difference between the Immortal Grove World and Heavenspan World.


    After Ye Yuan reached the Heavenspan World, even though his Alchemy Dao strength advanced by leaps and bounds, he was also still unable to reach the level of Great Dao pill refinement.


    Presently, after seeing this Tai Ji picture, he finally reached it.


    Jian Hongxiao was incomparably shocked in his heart. He knew that alchemists that could refine pills with Great Dao in the Heavenspan World could be counted on one hand.


    Those people were all existences whose fame shook the Heavenspan World.


    Even transcendent Heavenly Emperors had to be polite and courteous in front of them too.


    Of course, all of those people were old monsters who had lived for no idea how many years.


    Ye Yuan, this young man who was less than a thousand years, actually already reached such a level, how could he not be shocked?


    After the shock, Jian Hongxiao was wildly elated in his heart!


    Under Ye Yuan''s deduction, that Tai Ji picture started to gradually become solid from the initial illusoriness, and also became more and more profound.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan''s two arms pulled back, the Tai Ji image dissipated into nothing.


    He slowly opened both eyes, his face revealing a delighted smile.


    After Dao Realm, his Alchemy Dao had been unable to make breakthroughs.


    Now, he finally got his wish.


    He looked at Jian Hongxiao and said slightly apologetically, "Senior, really sorry about it. This junior barged inside involuntarily when I saw this Tai Jia picture."


    Jian Hongxiao waved his hand and said with a big laugh, "This old man finally knows what kind of heaven-defying existence emperor surmounting aura is! Hahaha �� Little Friend, you really broadened this old man''s horizons! Great Dao pill refinement! This old man lived to this ripe old age, but it''s still my first time seeing it! Truly impressive!"


    Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the Tai Ji diagram and said with a smile, "Alchemy Dao is too fleeting and ephemeral, this junior has been wanting to find a breakthrough these few years, but I didn''t expect to break through here. Speaking of which, this junior owes you another big favor."


    Jian Hongxiao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This old man doesn''t dislike your favors, the more the merrier, hahaha. Alright, enough nonsense, let''s get started! You go sit on that mat and write their names on the papers on the desk. This old man will infer for you."


    Beside the Tai Ji diagram, a mat and a desk were placed there.


    On the desk, there was a cinnabar pen and several pieces of paper placed.


    Ye Yuan walked over and wrote several names on the paper: Yue Mengli, White Light, Lu-er, and Fiery.


    Jian Hongxiao slowly walked into the Tai Ji diagram, sat down cross-legged in the center, and opened his mouth to say, "In a while, this old man will divine them one by one. Whoever''s name lights up, you silently read their name, understood?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, appearing slightly nervous as he said, "Understood!"


    Experiencing many grand spectacles, Ye Yuan had always kept a straight face and a steady heartbeat.


    But now, he was very nervous.


    He was very worried. If by chance someone among the four of them suffered an accident, how should he face it?


    Ye Yuan could kill all the powerful enemies in the world and could be crushed into dust. Only toward the people around him that it was hard for him to let it go.


    Jian Hongxiao seemed to have seen through his nervousness and said with a smile, "It''s a blessing if not a calamity; if it''s a calamity, it can''t be avoided. Your destiny is overwhelming, so the people around you will naturally also have fortune shine on them. Them leaving you might not be a bad thing."

 1727 Complicated and Confusing Destiny

    In front of Ye Yuan, one name after another gradually lit up.


    The Tai Ji diagram glimmered and faded indeterminately, Yin Yang coexisting, revealing waves of the aura of Great Dao.


    Yue Mengli''s name actually emerged from the paper, and then was brought into the vortex by the Tai Ji diagram''s stream of light.


    In the end, Yue Mengli''s name broke down, turning into motes of starlight, merging into the stream of light.


    "Puhwark!"


    Suddenly, Jian Hongxiao tasted sweetness in his throat and spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, his entire person''s aura instantly withering considerably.


    "Senior!" Ye Yuan turned pale with fright and shouted.


    Jian Hongxiao waved his hand and said, "I''m fine, continue!"


    Only to see him forcefully urge the Profound Spirit Chaos Formula, making the Tai Ji diagram revolve once again.


    Ye Yuan''s expression flickered several times. Taking a deep breath, he continued to silently read the few names.


    Following that, the other few people''s names were also the same, finally merging into the Tai Ji diagram.


    During which, Jian Hongxiao vomited several large mouthfuls of blood in a row, seemingly aging many years all of a sudden.


    Ye Yuan could naturally tell that Jian Hongxiao suffered Heavenly Dao''s backlash, his longevity was bound to be greatly damaged.


    He secretly resolved his heart that when his strength was attained in the future, he would definitely help Jian Hongxiao return to his prime.


    The light dissipated, Jian Hongxiao''s divination finally ended.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly went over to help him up and said with concern, "Senior �� are �� are you alright?"


    Jian Hongxiao forcefully plucked his spirits up and said with a smile, "I''m fine, I won''t die. Just divining a few names actually made this old man lose several tens of thousands of years of longevity. Heh heh, if I divined your fate, this old man will probably immediately vomit blood and die. Emperor surmounting aura is truly terrifying!"


    Jian Hongxiao''s Profound Dao attainments were exceedingly formidable. He had always been extremely confident in his own Profound Dao strength too.


    But did not expect that this time, it was just divining the whereabouts of a few people around Ye Yuan and he suffered such backlash.


    The deduction this time, he even deliberately isolated Ye Yuan''s aura and attempted to divine from other aspects, but the result was still so tragic.


    Jian Hongxiao could not imagine what the consequences would be if he directly divined Ye Yuan''s fate.


    Emperor surmounting aura, what they shouldered was heaven-shocking destiny!


    He could not withstand it!


    To the Jian Family''s members, seeing someone with heaven-defying destiny was like Ye Yuan discovering a new kind of medicinal pill.


    That sort of curiosity was simply hard to suppress.


    Otherwise, Jian Ping also would not go and look at Ye Yuan''s destiny because of a momentary curiosity back then.


    It was a pity that Ye Yuan''s destiny was too strong, even Jian Hongxiao could not divine it too.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s divinations, one must approach the subject in a roundabout manner.


    And this kind of difficulty, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.


    Only Jian Hongxiao, this kind of powerhouse, had such strength.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hope that one day, I can witness Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets''s divination arts!"


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "Your words might really come true one day. This old man divined just now, your destiny is absolutely not simple. Even among emperor surmounting auras, it''s also an extremely high-level existence!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked somewhat nervously, "Senior, wonder if �� there was any result?"


    Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said helplessly, "Have, but also not considered have. This old man already exhausted all my means, but I can only sense a little bit vaguely."


    Ye Yuan''s heart turned slightly cold and he said, "Senior, please say."


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "You don''t have to be so nervous either. Looking at it now, the four of them are at least all still alive."


    One sentence made a boulder in Ye Yuan''s heart landed on the ground.


    As long as the people were okay, everything was fine.


    What he was most worried about was the worst situation happening.


    Ye Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Senior, please clarify."


    Jian Hongxiao nodded and said, "Just looking at what the divination shows, this girl called Yue Mengli is similarly shielded by heaven''s secrets, this old man can''t see through."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed slightly and he asked, "What does this mean, Senior?"


    Jian Hongxiao said, "This old man judged that there might be several situations. The first one, that girlie obtained some kind of lucky chance, changing her fate heaven-defyingly, and her destiny is no longer what it was before. So heaven''s secrets are shielded. As for the second one �� it''s that someone deliberately concealed the aura on her body, making you unable to start finding. Of course, it''s also possible that she''s trapped inside some mystic realm and that mystic realm can conceal heaven''s secrets."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed slightly. If it was the first situation, it was still fine. But if it was the second and third kind of situation, that would be hard to say.


    Heaven''s secrets were shielded, even Jian Hongxiao could not do anything too.


    Even if Ye Yuan wanted to find, he would not know where to start as well.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan felt his head swell up.


    The current situation completely surpassed his expectations.


    In the past, he always had a plan ready to deal with situations. But this time, he really somewhat panicked.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s expression, Jian Hongxiao continued, "Even though I''m unable to detect her situation, when I was deducing earlier, this old man faintly senses that your fate has yet to end, and will come a time when you meet again!"


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan finally heaved a sigh in relief and said, "Senior, then the rest?"


    Jian Hongxiao said, "That primordial spirit, this old man deduced that he should be in a land of fire spirits currently. Presumably, it should be beneficial to him. Also, that girlie called Lu-er should be fine as well. Rather, this White Light, this old man sensed a hint of ill-omen, his current situation likely isn''t good."


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he said, "What''s wrong with White Light?"


    Jian Hongxiao shook his head and said, "Don''t know, this is already this old man''s limits. This old man can''t divine an additional trace of information too! However, this old man can deduce that he should currently be in the Demon Divine Region."


    Ye Yuan''s face turned slightly grim and he said, "Looks like I have to make a trip to the Demon Divine Region! Senior, can you be a little more precise?"


    Jian Hongxiao smiled bitterly and said, "This old man knows that the Demon Divine Region is extremely big, but, this is already this old man''s limits."


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, "I got it!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan slowly got up, bowed toward Jian Hongxiao, and said, "Senior''s grace, Ye Yuan engraves it in my heart! In the future, I''ll definitely repay immensely!"


    Jian Hongxiao waved his hand and said with a bitter smile, "Looks like �� this old man overestimated my own strength! The things deduced currently are far fewer than what this old man expected previously. It''s good that you don''t mind."


    Ye Yuan said, "How can this junior dare? Senior''s divination is already of tremendous help to Junior. At least, Junior has a direction now. Furthermore, Ye Yuan knows that Senior''s losses likely can''t be made up for within a thousand years. The next Hundred Battles Arena will likely have to be postponed again."


    Jian Hongxiao''s losses were clearly even greater than expected.


    He was currently very weak. It was likely hard to recover in a thousand years.


    Looking at this, in order to help him this time, Jian Hongxiao expended a tremendous price.

 1728 Intercepting

    After Ye Yuan left, a middle-aged man walked into Jian Hongxiao''s shabby room.


    Seeing Jian Hongxiao''s appearance, the middle-aged man''s expression changed. He hurriedly went up to support.


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would recognize that this middle-aged man was one of the seven great Celestial Deity powerhouses who appeared that day.


    He was called Jian Chen, Jian Hongxiao''s most trusted apprentice.


    "Master, a-are you okay?" Jian Chen asked concernedly.


    Jian Hongxiao waved his hand and said, "I, this old bunch of bones, won''t die for the time being. But I didn''t think that the Heavenly Dao''s backlash this time was actually so powerful!"


    Jian Chen said with a resentful look, "Master, is doing so worth it?"


    Jian Hongxiao gave him a glance and said with a smile, "After Master came to be enlightened, I''ve long already severed the thought and planned to die old here. Who knew that before the Hundred Battles Arena this time, this old man did a divination, and the matter actually had a turnaround."


    Jian Chen''s expression changed and he said, "Could it be that this turnaround lies on that kid?"


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "Although this old man can''t calculate Ye Yuan''s numerology, I can divine my own fate. The divination shows that Master''s affair has a turning point, but when Master wanted to continue divining in-depth, my own numerology was actually covered up by Heavenly Dao. Connecting these two matters, isn''t it confirmed with Ye Yuan?"


    Jian Chen had a look of astonishment and said with a disbelieving look, "Master, that kid is merely at the initial-stage Divine Lord Realm. How many years and months do you have to wait for him? Moreover, your vitality is badly damaged right now, longevity taking a big dip. Can �� Can you wait until that day?"


    One had to know, Jian Hongxiao already suffered Heavenly Dao''s backlash before this. He already suffered a huge loss in longevity to begin with, his realm falling drastically.


    This time, for Ye Yuan''s sake, he suffered serious injuries again, his vitality greatly damaged, lifespan decreasing again.


    At this time, Jian Chen was worried that his master could not persevere until that day.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, "Heh heh, you and I are both the progenitor''s successors, so how can we doubt our own fate? Man proposes, God disposes. I can only do my best, the rest will be left to Heaven."


    Jian Chen fell silent, having nothing to refute regarding his master''s words.


    As a member of the Jian Family, he should act in harmony with heaven.


    Since he saw a turning point, then he should go all out to do it.


    Seemed like his master''s cultivation base was indeed far deeper than his!


    Jian Hongxiao did not reveal a look of surprise and said coolly, "You make a trip. A measly Ningbei Imperial City, if offended, then offended, there''s nothing serious."


    Jian Hongxiao said it very casually, not placing Ningbei Imperial City in his sights at all.


    ...


    Ye Yuan bade farewell to Jian Zhentao and brought Ning Tianping out of Extreme Light Imperial City, speeding like the wind toward the Demon Divine Region.


    The Demon Divine Region was in the land of extreme west. Passed through the Demon Divine Mountain Range and it was the gathering place of the demon race.


    The territory there was called Demon Divine Region.


    The Demon Divine Region was a chaotic place where the strong reigned supreme and the weak were prey for the strong.


    Maybe White Light wanted to train himself. That was why he would go to the Demon Divine Region.


    But he did not expect that he actually let himself fall into danger.


    Ye Yuan silently prayed in his heart, hoping that nothing happened to White Light.


    Through so many years, he and White Light were as close as brothers.


    In terms of feelings, it was no worse than with Yue Mengli.


    "Your Excellency, rest assured. Brother White is blessed and will definitely be fine." Ning Tianping comforted him by the side.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in a solemn voice, "This departure, just the journey on the road alone will take as long as several decades! With White Light''s strength back then, he''d likely have to fly for at least 300 years before he could reach the Demon Divine Region and couldn''t make it back to Heavenly Eagle in time at all. This punk didn''t take the 500-year-agreement to heart at all, infuriating me to death!"


    Ning Tianping smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, this really can''t blame Brother White. You aren''t aware of just how great the pressure of being by your side is. Just take me for example. Back then, I broke through to become a Third Firmament Divine Lord in one stroke, strength far surpassing yours. But just how many years had passed, you can annihilate me in one move now! Even though I believe that Your Excellency definitely won''t fall behind others, I also didn''t expect that this day would come so quickly!"


    In the past, Ning Tianping still somewhat did not understand White Light their thoughts.


    But now, he completely understood.


    His Excellency was simply a freak!


    Come one day, when you could really only follow behind him to make tea and pour water, that would really be called a blow.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not have this intention at all.


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, the Purple Extreme Hall trembled violently. Ye Yuan''s and Ning Tianping''s chests seemed to have been struck by a heavy object, directly spewing out a large mouthful of blood.


    "Little bastard, hurry up and come out to die! Otherwise, this seat will shake you to death today!"


    A powerful voice transmitted in from outside.


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping two people exchanged a glance, both incomparably shocked as they said, "Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Furthermore, it was not an ordinary Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan put away the Purple Extreme Hall and revealed his figure.


    Outside, four figures blocked the way.


    "Uncle Xiahou, it''s him! It was him that killed Big Brother Yun! Uncle Xiahou, Big Brother Yun he died so miserably! You have to avenge him!"


    The one who spoke was precisely Jiang Mengqing.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he immediately understood who this Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse in front of him was.


    Xiahou Wenjian looked at Ye Yuan coldly, as if looking at a dead person.


    "Little bastard, competing in martial arts in the ring, you actually dared to kill my son! Today, this seat is going to extract your soul and refine it for ten thousand years in front of Yun-er''s tombstone!" Xiahou Wenjian said angrily.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Competing in the ring, life and death are up to fate! Moreover, Xiahou Yun was instigated by people and wanted to harm me, so he deserved to die!"


    "Shut up!"


    Xiahou Wenjian roared furiously, his voice carrying boundless world power.


    "Puhwark!"


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping were akin to being struck by lightning, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    Just a voice made the two without the slightest strength to fight back.


    Too strong!


    This Xiahou Wenjian was at least a middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse.


    This kind of powerhouse, their strength was already unimaginable.


    Xiahou Wenjian said with a cold smile, "Little bastard, how can your cheap life be mentioned in the same breath with my son''s? If he wanted to kill you, you should have stretched your neck out to be executed!"


    In Xiahou Wenjian''s eyes, his son''s life was even greater than heaven.


    Xiahou Yun''s talent was exceedingly high; sufficient to inherit his position.


    Letting Xiahou Yun went out this time was to get the approval of Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Who knew that he would be gone forever.


    Jiang Mengqing also had a baleful look as she said, "Two little bastards! How can your lives compare to Big Brother Yun''s? Today, I''m going to take revenge for Big Brother Yun!"


    Done talking, Jiang Mengqing raised her longsword and charged over toward Ye Yuan.


    How could Ye Yuan do as she wished? He was just about to fight back when suddenly, an incomparably powerful burst of world power descended, suppressing him until he was completely immobile!"


    Ye Yuan''s face changed, golden light radiating brightly on his body, blue patterns revolving to the extreme.


    Clank!


    Jiang Mengqing''s sword seemingly stabbed onto refined iron, shocking her arm until it turned numb.


    "Brother Xiahou, Ye Yuan is my Extreme Light Imperial City''s distinguished guest, please lift your hand high in mercy and let him go."


    At this time, a figure slowly appeared and said these words to Xiahou Wenjian.

 1729 Palm That Flew Over

    Jian Chen made haste and finally caught up.


    While at this time, Jiang Mengqing was sent flying away by Ye Yuan. Only after a great flurry did she barely manage to stabilize her figure.


    She looked at Ye Yuan, astonishment on her face.


    She did not expect that even though the other party''s entire person was being restrained and he actually still had the strength to resist!


    Jian Chen''s world power spread out, finally releasing Ye Yuan.


    Xiahou Wenjian''s face fell and he looked at Jian Chen and said, "Master Jian Chen, this seat deliberately waited for this kid to leave the boundary of Extreme Light Imperial City before taking action. This seat has been sincere enough toward your Extreme Light Imperial City!"


    Jian Chen clasped his hands and said, "Brother Xiahou''s sincerity, Jian Chen can naturally see it. But �� Ye Yuan and my master are already friends despite the difference in age. Brother Xiahou, please give Jian Chen''s face and let him leave, how about that?"


    Xiahou Wenjian''s expression was very ugly. Jian Chen was one of the Profound Secrets Pavilion''s seven great grand elders, holding great power and authority; very respected.


    In a normal situation, he would definitely give the other party face.


    But now, the son that he valued the most died!


    Now that the enemy was in front, could it be that he had to give up on taking revenge?


    No, he was unreconciled to it!


    "Master Jian Chen, other things, this seat can compromise with you. But this matter, pardon me for not being able to comply with your wishes! This guy killed my Yun-er. Not avenging this enmity, Yun-er he will find it hard to close his eyes in death!" Xiahou Wenjian glared at Ye Yuan and said.


    Jian Chen''s expression was very ugly. This fellow was simply making trouble willfully!


    His Extreme Light Imperial City had already hosted the Hundred Battles Arena for several hundred sessions, each session had quite a few geniuses that perished.


    If everyone came to find trouble like this, where would his Extreme Light Imperial City''s face be put?


    Jian Chen''s face fell and he said, "Brother Xiahou is being somewhat unreasonable and provocative saying these words! Getting on the Hundred Battles Arena, life and death are your own responsibility. This is my Extreme Light Imperial City''s rules. Brother Xiahou doing this right now, is it to provoke my Extreme Light Imperial City?"


    Sure enough, Jian Chen''s words made Xiahou Wenjian''s face change!


    Extreme Light Imperial City''s influence was too great. Not that their strength was very formidable, but that their proteges spanned all over the world.


    Currently, the various major imperial cities'' sovereigns had mostly been guided by Extreme Light Imperial City before.


    This was Extreme Light Imperial City''s terrifying aspect.


    Jian Chen looked over in Ye Yuan''s direction. It was only to see that he was covered in blood. Clearly, he already sustained extremely severe injuries.


    This unwittingly made his heart rage with fury!


    Master expended such great effort to perform divination for Ye Yuan, but Xiahou Wenjian almost killed him, how could this not enrage him?


    "Humph! Jian Chen, don''t take Extreme Light Imperial City to come and suppress me! What others do, I don''t care. But my own son''s enmity, I must avenge it! Today, this kid must die!"


    Jian Chen even thought that Xiahou Wenjian was scared. Who knew that after he struggled for a while, he actually said this kind of words!


    Jian Chen''s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, "Xiahou Wenjian, you''re insolent!"


    Xiahou Wenjian said in a solemn voice, "Jian Chen, I''m not standing here in the capacity of Ningbei Imperial City''s grand elder right now, but with the identity of a father! Today, whoever stops me, if gods block, kill gods, if Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!"


    "You dare?!" Jian Chen''s face fell and he blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan''s face also changed. This guy was already utterly crazy.


    Xiahou Wenjian chuckled and smiled coldly as he said, "Why wouldn''t I dare? This seat is a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity, while you''re only a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity! If this seat wants to kill people, could you still stop it? The two of you, stop him for me! This seat will kill this guy personally and take revenge for Yun-er!"


    Who Xiahou Wenjian brought were also all middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses. The two of them joining hands, stopping Jian Chen was naturally nothing difficult.


    Jian Chen''s expression changed and he said to Ye Yuan, "Quickly go, flee toward Extreme Light Imperial City!"


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, directly entered inside the Purple Extreme Hall, and escaped in the direction of Extreme Light Imperial City.


    He knew that Xiahou Wenjian absolutely did not dare to kill Jian Chen, so he did not have any worries to distract him either.


    "Want to escape? This seat is here, can you escape?"


    Xiahou Wenjian laughed coldly, figure moving, disappearing on the spot.


    Jian Chen wanted to make a move to stop, but those two mighty Celestial Deity powerhouses already stepped forward.


    Two-on-one, Jian Chen was immediately held back.


    Inside the Purple Extreme Hall, Ye Yuan''s expression was very grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "So fast!"


    A Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse, his strength was beyond imagination.


    Ye Yuan had confidence in escaping under the hands of a First Firmament Celestial Deity by spurring on the Purple Extreme Hall. But in front of a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity, it was completely lacking!


    Xiahou Wenjian erupted and caught up to the Purple Extreme Hall.


    A horrifying aura instantly enveloped the Purple Extreme Hall.


    "Heh, this is really a treasure! This seat attacked at full power and it''s actually completely unharmed! It''s likely a true god mystic treasure! This time, this incident benefited this seat!"


    Xiahou Wenjian laughed savagely. Raising his hand, it was a palm!


    Bang!


    The Purple Extreme Hall had nowhere to avoid and was hit head-on.


    Even if Ye Yuan already urged the Purple Extreme Hall''s defenses to the limits, this palm still affected him until he vomited fresh blood wildly.


    "Damn it! I didn''t expect that Xiahou Yun''s father was actually a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity!" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Xiahou Wenjian''s appearance had indeed somewhat exceeded his expectations.


    This guy was too strong.


    Bang!


    Yet another palm!


    Ye Yuan two people were shocked until they were shaken to the bones.


    "Hahaha! The next attack will take your lives! Yun-er, Father will avenge you right now!"


    Xiahou Wenjian laughed wildly, a glove appearing on his hand at goodness knows when!


    Ye Yuan''s complexion turned pale and he said, "Not good! Celestial deity mystic treasure!"


    A Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses wearing a celestial deity artifact, that power was simply unimaginable.


    Even separated through the Purple Extreme Hall, Ye Yuan could feel the horrifying aura outside.


    This punch coming down, him and Ning Tianping would absolutely have no chance of survival!


    "Go to hell!"


    Xiahou Wenjian laughed savagely, a punch suddenly slamming out.


    But right at this time, an enormous palm was sent from the horizon, arriving instantly!


    Xiahou Wenjian was currently pleased with himself when suddenly, an irresistible force instantly locked onto him.


    His heart plummeted, the punch that was just released was also instantly frozen.


    "ARGHHH!"


    A despairing scream sounded out.


    Bang!


    Under a palm, Xiahou Wenjian turned to ashes!


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in the other party''s eyes.


    "Your Excellency, who �� who is this? So strong! Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity, he actually one-shotted him with one palm!" Ning Tianping said in shock.


    Ye Yuan said, "The Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord!"


    Ning Tianping opened his mouth wide and said, "No way, right? That Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord is at most also merely Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity, right? How can he be so strong?"


    This palm was not struck out at close range. It was released from countless tens of thousands of miles away!


    This kind of means was truly inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Looks like we all looked down on this Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord! His original strength is at least also at the True God Realm!"


    "Little Friend Ye Yuan, take care. This old man won''t be sending you off!" At this time, an aged voice transmitted over from the horizon.


    Ye Yuan two people bowed toward the direction of Extreme Light Imperial City.

 1730 Skydemon Mountain Range

    Skydemon Mountain Range stretched for goodness knows several hundreds of millions of miles. Countless great demons were hidden inside.


    Connected together with the Skydemon Mountain Range was the Demon God Plain.


    The Skydemon Mountain Range and Demon God Plain together formed the entire Demon Divine Region.


    This place was a paradise for the demon race.


    At this time, six plain-clothes martial artists were currently moving inside the Skydemon Mountain Range.


    A lean middle-aged man said with an unhappy look, "I say, Boss Duan, why do we need to bring along a Third Firmament Divine Lord trash?"


    His voice was very loud and did not have the intention of covering it up. Clearly, it was deliberately said for people to hear.


    Boss Duan looked at the young man walking quietly behind the team and said helplessly, "No choice. Recently, the savage beasts in the Skydemon Mountain Range seems to be abnormally irritable. The people willing to enter the mountain are not many in the first place. It so happens that I acted slow this time. The strong ones were all snatched by other teams already."


    The lean middle-aged man previously said unhappily, "Boss Duan, the logic of better to go without than have something shoddy, don''t you know? Bringing such a trash over, can he be of help? Later, he even wants to divide up our natural treasures. Isn''t this picking up a bargain for free?"


    "Alright, Luo Yong, already came, what''s the use of saying this? An additional person is always an additional portion of strength."


    At this time, a beautiful woman in the team could not listen anymore and came out to mediate things.


    This girl was called Yu Jing, the sole female in the team. She was a peak Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Seeing Yu Jing speak, Luo Yong immediately changed to an ingratiating expression and said with a smile, "Heh heh, Young Sister Jing already spoke, then I won''t pursue it anymore as well. If not looking on the account of Younger Sister Jing''s face, this Luo definitely wouldn''t have come this time. However, if this kid doesn''t put in any effort and still wants to take a share of the loot, this Luo won''t agree to it no matter what!"


    Boss Duan said, "I''ve long talked to Brother Ye about this, don''t you worry."


    Luo Yong gave a cold snort and stopped talking.


    Yu Jing moved to the young man''s side and whispered, "Little Brother Ye Yuan, this Luo Yong is like this. He can''t suffer any losses at all. You don''t take it to heart."


    This young man was naturally the Ye Yuan who came from afar.


    He originally wanted to enter the Skydemon Mountain Range alone. But under Dustless''s persuasion, he still gave up.


    There were many hunting small teams in the Skydemon Mountain Range, one person was too conspicuous.


    Even though Ye Yuan was not afraid, it would be better to avoid troubles.


    Moreover, these hunting teams were very familiar with the Skydemon Mountain Range''s situation. Which place was relatively safe, which place was relatively dangerous, they were very clear of it.


    Following them would allow him to understand some of the Skydemon Mountain Range''s situation first.


    Otherwise, diving into some great demon''s territory headlong, even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, he would also die until he could not be any more deader.


    In the nearby Linyao Imperial City, there were places that specifically recruited martial artists.


    This kind of team was formed temporarily.


    Boss Duan''s name was Duan Peng. He was a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord.


    When he wanted to enter the mountain, he would go to the recruiting place to select martial artists and find a few good men to help.


    Of course, he would also negotiate the prices with these recruiters.


    The natural treasures obtained in the Skydemon Mountain Range naturally had to allocate some to them as well.


    With Ye Yuan''s Third Firmament Divine Vortex Realm, naturally no one took fancy to him in the city.


    If not for having to pick the leftovers, Boss Duan would not even give Ye Yuan a glance.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said to Yu Jing, "Thank you, Elder Sister Jing, for helping me out of the predicament."


    Yu Jing smiled and said, "I say, kid, your nerves are also really plucky, to actually dare promise Boss Duan! The place that he wants to go to isn''t where you can go. If my surmises are right, you should be some large family clan''s disciple, coming to the Skydemon Mountain Range to train, right?"


    In this Skydemon Mountain Range, the level of strength naturally determined the different places that could be penetrated deep.


    Those like Ye Yuan, even though they would not just hang around the peripherals, it was clearly far from the place that Duan Peng was going.


    "Yes, it''s this younger brother''s first time entering the Skydemon Mountain Range. I''m totally clueless about this place. Can Elder Sister Jing tell me and let me gain some knowledge and experience?"


    Ye Yuan pushed the boat along the current, requesting Yu Jing to tell him about the Skydemon Mountain Range''s knowledge.


    Yu Jing seemed to be very close towards Ye Yuan, this next-door-little-brother. Hence, she started to talk endlessly.


    Hearing Yu Jing''s explanation, Ye Yuan also gleaned considerable gains.


    Yu Jing''s experiences were all gained by her predecessors, and at times, their lives. The things she shared with Ye Yuan were very valuable.


    Where was safe, where was dangerous, which places could be gone to, which places could not be gone to, it was all very detailed.


    A moment of carelessness and it would be eternal damnation.


    The great demons in this Skydemon Mountain Range even had Heavenly Emperor level existences. The dangers involved could be imagined.


    Of course, that sort of place, the average person was unable to approach it at all and would die at the peripherals until not even dregs remained.


    The two talked happily along the way, but there was an unfriendly gaze by the side, constantly casting over toward Ye Yuan''s side.


    Luo Yong was clearly interested in Yu Jing, so his impression of Ye Yuan would definitely be even worse.


    "Hey, kid, stop asking questions anymore! Right now, we''ve already entered a dangerous zone and might run into fierce beasts any time, you shut your mouth up for me!"


    Luo Yong could not hold back and came up to interrupt the two people''s conversation.


    Ye Yuan had not spoken yet, but Yu Jing lost it first.


    "Luo Yong, it''s Ye Yuan''s first time coming to the Skydemon Mountain Range, but is it my first time coming too?"


    Luo Yong could not help choking and said in a solemn voice, "Younger Sister Jing, the Skydemon Mountain Range hasn''t been too peaceful recently. Who knows whether there are high-level fierce beasts haunting in the vicinity or not?"


    Yu Jing could not help feeling stifled when she heard this. What Luo Yong said was reasonable too.


    At present, it was not very peaceful in the Skydemon Mountain Range. Situations where squads were completely wiped out would frequently appear.


    Their voices had yet to fade when rustling sounds came from the woods.


    Everyone''s faces changed, each drawing their weapons, an appearance of facing a great enemy.


    Suddenly, an enormous black centipede slowly sprung out of the woods.


    When everyone saw the centipede, they immediately relaxed.


    "Gave me a scare, turns out that it''s a Raging Fire Centipede that just entered middle-stage rank four!" Luo Yong heaved a sigh in relief.


    This black centipede was roughly equivalent to Fourth Firmament Divine Lord martial artists. Their group was naturally not afraid.


    Suddenly, Luo Yong thought of something, a hint of a smug smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    He said to Ye Yuan, "Brat, this centipede isn''t strong, you go take care of it."


    Yu Jing''s expression changed and she said, "Luo Yong, what''s the meaning of this? How can Ye Yuan''s strength possibly deal with this Raging Fire Centipede?"


    Luo Yong shrugged and said, "The fierce beasts that we encounter, this is probably the weakest already. This kid is at any rate peak Third Firmament Divine Lord as well, doesn''t he want to train? Don''t even dare to deal with a Raging Fire Centipede, still train for what?! Moreover, we have so many people here. How can we watch him go and still die in the end? Boss Duan, don''t you say so?"


    Duan Peng cursed in his heart, this guy was really insidious.


    But what Luo Yong said, he really had no way of refuting it.


    Duan Peng was just about to open his mouth but heard Ye Yuan say coolly, "Fine, I''ll go."

 1731 Really Cant Find a Sixth One

    Luo Yong''s eyes lit up. The corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile like his wicked scheme succeeded.


    While Duan Peng and the rest revealed looks of surprise.


    This kid had some nerves!


    Rather, it was Yu Jing who said rather anxiously, "Ye Yuan, you mustn''t act without due consideration!"


    Ye Yuan looked at her and said with a smile, "Merely a Raging Fire Centipede, no big deal. Why not Elder Sister Jing stand guard for me, how''s that?"


    Yu Jing thought about it but still nodded her head.


    Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, taking out the Junyi Sword and slowly walked over toward the Raging Fire Centipede.


    Seeing the Junyi Sword, the eyes of Duan Peng, Luo Yong, and the rest involuntarily turned sharp.


    High-rank divine lord mystic treasure!


    This kid indeed had some background.


    Especially Luo Yong, his eyes revealed a greedy look.


    Even though he was already Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, he only had an initial-rank divine lord mystic treasure on hand.


    Compared to Ye Yuan, he was simply like a beggar.


    Ye Yuan walked over toward the Raging Fire Centipede unhurriedly, without the least bit of pressure.


    "Click click."


    The centipede emitted a series of strange chirping sounds and suddenly turned around, tunneling into the woods.


    Luo Yong''s eyes went wide, caught somewhat off-guard by this sudden change.


    The Raging Fire Centipede actually ran?


    Facing a Third Firmament Divine Lord human, it actually ran?


    One had to know, the strengths of fierce beasts were normally stronger than humans of the same rank.


    Moreover, uncivilized fierce beasts, under the situation where the power gap was not too big, would not know what was called fear at all.


    For example, when the Raging Fire Centipede clearly saw that there were five to six humans here just now, it still planned to attack them.


    Now, what was going on?


    "Where are you running!"


    Just as they were in shock, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, tunneling into the forest.


    Everyone was taken aback once more, this kid''s gall was so fat!


    "Ye Yuan, don''t chase!"


    Yu Jing''s expression changed drastically, immediately carrying her sword and chasing after.


    But passing through the dense forest, how was there still Ye Yuan''s figure?


    Yu Jing did not give up and chased ahead again.


    Luo Yong came back to his senses, his face revealing a radiant smile.


    This kid was really courting death himself!


    "What''s wrong with that Raging Fire Centipede? Why would it run when it saw Ye Yuan?" Duan Peng said with a look of confusion.


    Luo Yong smiled and said, "What else can it be? It must have unlocked a hint of wisdom and perceived that we weren''t to be trifled with, that''s why it would run away."


    Luo Yong naturally did not hope for Ye Yuan to return and said with a smile, "That brat was indeed a hothead. If he wants to seek death himself, can''t blame others."


    Duan Peng also shook his head, feeling that Ye Yuan''s foolish actions were rather unreasonable.


    Even though he disliked Luo Yong, what Luo Yong said was right as well.


    This Ye Yuan did not have any self-awareness at all. If he died, he could not blame others either.


    Before long, Yu Jing dashed out of the dense woods, her expression very ugly.


    "How is it? Found him?"


    Even though he knew the result, he still asked.


    Duan Peng could tell that Yu Jing was very concerned about this little brother.


    Yu Jing shook her head rather blankly, her entire person like she was drained.


    Luo Yong was secretly pleased in his heart and said, "No need to care about that kid anymore, at this time, he''s most likely already swallowed by the Raging Fire Centipede. Let''s continue walking."


    When Yu Jing heard this, she said in annoyance, "Luo Yong, what do you mean? You treat your companions like this? If you abandon Ye Yuan now, will you immediately leave us behind if we encounter danger later?"


    Luo Yong could not help choking when he heard that, his expression ugly as he said, "H-How can it be? That kid overestimated his own ability and chased after himself. I didn''t force him to go either."


    Leaving behind one''s companions was a taboo to them. This was an unspoken rule among squads that frequently came to the area.


    Once the reputation spread, no one would dare to use them in the future anymore.


    One person entering the mountain, the danger was also too great.


    Yu Jing''s words somewhat unmasked his motives, Luo Yong really did not dare to follow up.


    "Boss Duan, I request to wait here for Ye Yuan!" Yu Jing looked at Duan Peng and said with a serious expression.


    Duan Peng thought about it and said with a nod, "Then we will wait an hour for him then! If he still isn''t here in an hour, we''ll have to carry on our way."


    "No need, I''m back!"


    Yu Jing still wanted to say something when a voice suddenly sounded out.


    Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and saw Ye Yuan slowly walk out of the dense forest.


    Suddenly, everyone''s gaze turned intent, all revealing a look of shock.


    It was only to see that after Ye Yuan walked out, a huge centipede came out from behind.


    The centipede was being dragged by Ye Yuan, already dead until it could not be any deader.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan casually threw and threw the Raging Fire Centipede in front of everyone.


    Duan Peng said with an astonished look, "This �� This was your doing?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Otherwise? Is there still anyone else?"


    Everyone was speechless, the outcome of the matter was too far from their expectations!


    Especially Luo Yong, he simply felt even more uncomfortable than having eaten a fly.


    Originally, he already sentenced Ye Yuan to death, being delighted and pleased in his heart.


    Who knew that in a blink, not only did Ye Yuan return, he even killed the Raging Fire Centipede.


    While talking, Ye Yuan took out several bright red fruits and threw them over one by one.


    Of course, except for Luo Yong.


    Duan Peng caught the fruits, gaze turning intent as he said in surprise, "Rank four spirit medicine Blood Curdle Fruit! You �� Where did you get it from?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I chased this beast just now, chased all the way to its lair. After killing it, I searched its lair while I was at it and found these Blood Curdle Fruits. Since everyone is in the same team, of course those who see it will get a share. Also, this Raging Fire Centipede will be given to Boss Duan. The benefits gotten later will be distributed by Boss Duan."


    Although the Blood Curdle Fruit was not some overly rare rank four spirit medicine, casually selling for several billion divine essence stones was still doable.


    Ye Yuan was considered to have given them a big gift.


    They did not do anything and earned several billion divine essence stones.


    Furthermore, this Raging Fire Centipede was also full of treasures from top to bottom.


    They previously even thought that Ye Yuan was here to scrape benefits. In a twinkle, Ye Yuan threw them a big bunch of benefits.


    Boss Duan looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished face, not expecting Ye Yuan to be so generous.


    This made them even more certain that Ye Yuan''s identity was definitely extraordinary.


    If it were any of them, they would definitely pocket these things alone. Either way, no one saw it too.


    But Ye Yuan actually took them out to share with everyone.


    Luo Yang''s expression was gloomy as he said in a solemn voice, "Punk, what''s the meaning of this? Since those who see get a share, why do the rest all have, but I don''t?"


    Ye Yuan said with an apologetic look: "Brother Luo, really sorry about it, this Ye only found five Blood Curdle Fruits in its lair just now and really couldn''t find the sixth one. I''m forced to make things a bit inconvenient for Brother Luo. Uh �� if find something later, this Ye will bring Brother Luo to share it."


    With Ye Yuan''s one sentence, everyone all secretly found it funny in their hearts.


    These Blood Curdle Fruits were neither more nor less, just nice five. It was also too coincidental, right?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan shared with the rest, only Luo Yong''s was missing. This was definitely no coincidence as well.


    Luo Yong had a grim expression as he said, "Humph! Kid, well done! A mere Blood Curdle Fruit, your father doesn''t think anything of it!"

 1732 Smelling Fragrance and Recognizing Poison

    Duan Peng put away the Raging Fire Centipede''s corpse, the party embarked on the journey once more.


    Yu Jing had a look of pleasant surprise and said, "You, kid, were too reckless! Just now, you scared Elder Sister Jing to death!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Just a Raging Fire Centipede. It can''t hurt me. But Elder Sister Jing, can I ask? You seem to �� be very concerned about me?"


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan just thought that Yu Jing was very good-natured.


    But later, Ye Yuan gradually felt Yu Jing''s concern.


    Especially when Luo Yong had him go deal with the Raging Fire Centipede earlier.


    Yu Jing let out a sigh and said, "When Elder Sister Jing sees you, I''ll think about that unlucky younger brother of mine. He''s the same age as you. Back then, he was also young and spirited, wanting to challenge the Skydemon Mountain Range, but ��"


    Talking up to here, Yu Jing choked a little.


    Ye Yuan came to a realization when he heard it and said with a sigh, "Sorry, my deepest condolences, Elder Sister Jing."


    Yu Jing snickered and glared as she said, "You punk, cursing my younger brother eh? He isn''t dead yet!"


    Ye Yuan froze when he heard it, immediately feeling incomparably wronged.


    I say, sister, your action just now, anyone would think that he was dead!


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s wronged look, Yu Jing laughed and said, "Alright, alright, it was Elder Sister who didn''t state it clearly. I''m not blaming you!''


    That appearance was overflowing with flirtatiousness.


    When it landed in the eyes of Luo Yong who was not far away, wasn''t it lovers joking around?


    "Brat, before you come out, your dad definitely didn''t tell you that some people are who you can''t afford to provoke! Dare to play me, I will let you die without even you knowing how you died!"


    Luo Yong already sentenced Ye Yuan to death in his heart.


    As long as there was a chance, he would definitely bury Ye Yuan alive!


    This kind of thing, he had done it more than once or twice.


    Only through Yu Jing''s oral account did Ye Yuan know what happened to her younger brother.


    It turned out that Yu Jing was not a member of Linyao Imperial City. Her younger brother wanted to hone himself, so he secretly left their hometown and entered the Skydemon Mountain Range to train.


    When Yu Jing learned the news that her younger brother left home, upon guessing that he definitely came here, she rushed to Linyao Imperial City straight away.


    Only after inquiring about it did she know that her younger brother indeed came here, and even entered the mountain.


    It was just that after some time, what she found out at the end was that her brother got inflicted by a strange poison.


    She did not dare to leave Linyao Imperial City. She was afraid that her younger brother would die on the way.


    Hence, she simply became a hunter here, following squads in and out of the Skydemon Mountain Range to support her younger brother.


    Presently, the poison''s flare up incident was getting more and more. It was an indication that he did not have much time left


    So hearging about him, Ye Yuan now understood that was why Yu Jing would be so sad.


    Knowing this, Ye Yuan also sighed.


    Yu Jing, a woman, spent so many years in Linyao Imperial City for her brother, truly not easy.


    Linyao Imperial City was clearly different from other imperial cities. The weak were prey and the strong feasts here. It was more apparent than in other places.


    Without strength, it was hard to advance an inch here.


    Just like before, Luo Yong compelled him to fight against the Raging Fire Centipede. Apart from Yu Jing, no one helped to speak up for him.


    If he was strong, killing the Raging Fire Centipede was one thing.


    If his strength was lacking and he really died?


    Most likely, no one would be sad, and would instead mock him for his strength being lacking.


    The people here were all very realistic.


    They walked together for benefit and also killed each other for benefit.


    Ye Yuan said, "Elder Sister Jing, you rest assured. Your younger brother''s poison, I''ll help him to resolve it! At that time, you sister and brother will be able to go back home!"


    Yu Jing did have the slightest excitement when she heard it, but she instead smiled and said, "Silly Little Brother. Your good intentions, Elder Sister understands it."


    "Overestimating your own ability! Younger Sister Jing''s brother, even Master Song Yu couldn''t cure him. You, a snotty brat whose hair isn''t even fully grown, what are you babbling about?" Luo Yong smiled coldly and said.


    Duan Peng also smiled and said, "I didn''t expect that Brother Ye is even an alchemist. But Master Song Yu is a Five-star Alchemy God. Even he was helpless, so you probably won''t be able to do much."


    Receiving the Blood Curdle Fruit and Raging Fire Centipede''s corpse, Duan Peng''s attitude toward Ye Yuan was much better.


    But in this matter, he clearly felt that Ye Yuan boasted too much.


    Yu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I pulled a lot of strings and finally found Master Song Yu''s connections. It''s just that I didn''t expect that even he was helpless about it too."


    Linyao Imperial City was close to the Skydemon Mountain Range. Countless martial artists were killed and wounded every day.


    This kind of place, the alchemy profession was naturally very developed too. Having a Five-star Alchemy God was not odd.


    Ye Yuan suddenly scooted close to Yu Jing and sniffed vigorously.


    Yu Jing was startled and even thought that Ye Yuan was going to be frivolous with her, hurriedly dodging aside and saying angrily, "Ye Yuan, what are you doing!"


    Ye Yuan ignored her, slowly closed his eyes, and opened his mouth to say, "Ironwood Incense, Hunting Cloud Light Breeze Powder, Sandalwood Huo Ming Grass �� Uh �� looks like when your younger brother''s toxicity flares up, it should be alternating between hot and cold, entire body twitching. If I didn''t guess wrongly, he should be foaming at the mouth, his complexion waxing, vomiting blood, and several other symptoms. Putting it all together, your brother was probably inflicted by the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug''s poison, right?"


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes and said a whole bunch in one go.


    When Luo Yong saw Yu Jing get angry, plus Ye Yuan''s action earlier, anger also flared up in his heart.


    Sneering secretly in his heart, he realised he finally found a chance!


    He gave a cold shout, "Punk, you want to take the opportunity to take advantage of Younger Sister Jing, and even ranted nonsense! Your Father will exterminate you right now!"


    Done talking, he released his aura and smacked a palm toward Ye Yuan.


    But he did not notice that the more Ye Yuan talked, the more Yu Jing''s eyes revealed a look of disbelief.


    She suddenly grabbed Ye Yuan''s arm and said in surprise, "You �� You''re really too incredible!"


    Luo Yong''s action stopped abruptly. Ye Yuan''s body was blocked by Yu Jing. If he smacked a palm down, Yu Jing would be gone.


    "You �� You wouldn''t have guessed that it was the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug with that sniff, right?"


    Yu Jing was really stunned!


    She only told Ye Yuan just now that her younger brother was tormented by a strange poison and did not say anything else.


    But Ye Yuan actually only sniffed the smell on her body and listed those spirit medicines perfectly!


    This was simply too inconceivable!


    Furthermore, the things that Ye Yuan said were exactly the same as Master Song Yu!


    One had to know, Master Song Yu diagnosed her brother in person, while Ye Yuan had not even met her younger brother before, and actually deduced so accurately.


    This strength, she simply did not dare to imagine it.


    When Duan Peng saw Yu Jing''s reaction, he was also extremely shocked and said, "Yu Jing, you mean that �� what your brother was poisoned by was really the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug''s poison?"


    Yu Jing nodded and said, "Yes! What Master Song Yu said was exactly identical to what Yu Jing said, it''s the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug! Furthermore, the symptoms that Yu Jing said were not the slightest bit off, just like he saw it with his own eyes!"


    The rest all used eyes like they had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan.


    What kind of freak was this fellow?


    He only sniffed the residual medicinal fragrance on Yu Jing''s body, and he could actually infer such a result.


    This skill was simply formidable to the extent that it was somewhat ridiculous!

 1733 Making a Detour

    Yu Jing was a woman, furthermore, a beautiful woman.


    Beautiful women naturally could not bear being covered all over with medicinal smell.


    Adding on rouge and powder, the medicinal smell left on the body was already very, very faint.


    But even so, Ye Yuan only relied on one sniff and could infer so much information. This skill was truly inconceivable.


    "I didn''t expect that Brother Ye concealed so deeply!" Duan Peng looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing across his eyes.


    With such a formidable alchemist following their side, it was absolutely an unexpected surprise!


    Teams with alchemists were universally acknowledged as having the lowest casualty rates.


    It was just that alchemists were too expensive, they could not afford it at all.


    Ye Yuan said to Yu Jing, "The Firecloud Ice Edge Bug is extremely rare. It can''t be seen in the outside world at all. This kind of poison is indeed troublesome. This is because its ice and fire attributes, two attributes, interweave within the body, permeating all pores, like a millstone, subverting Yin and Yang, tormenting the martial artist''s body."


    Yu Jing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, that''s it! Ye Yuan, do you �� do you really have a way?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "This poison is indeed powerful, so there''s no method for the time being."


    The moment these words came out, Yu Jing''s face revealed an incomparably disappointed look.


    But by the side, Luo Yong burst into laughter and said, "Haha, you talked for half a day, but it''s equivalent to saying nothing! I even thought about how capable you were. Who knew that after talking for so long, it''s equivalent to letting out a fart!"


    Ye Yuan could not even be bothered to pay attention to him and asked Yu Jing, "Elder Sister Jing, the place where your younger brother was bitten by the bug, do you know where it is?"


    Yu Jing shook her head blankly and said, "They were being hunted down by a very powerful fierce beast back then, fleeing in any path without any care. He did not know where he was bitten at all."


    The moment Luo Yong heard, he revealed a gloating smile again.


    With this, all of the clues were cut off, right?


    Ye Yuan did not feel that there was anything and asked again: "Then �� you guys are very familiar with the Skydemon Mountain Range. Do you know whether there''s some dark and humid place, overflowing with miasma, yet also a place where earth-fire is especially vigorous?"


    Yu Jing still shook her head blankly, but Duan Peng suddenly said, "If it''s this kind of place, I know one."


    Seeing everyone look over, Duan Peng said, "Evil Water Ravine!"


    The others were still, but the moment Luo Yong heard, his face could not help changing as he said, "It''s that legendary Evil Water Ravine that has no return?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s it! Let''s go and take a look!"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone stupefied.


    Duan Peng did not expect Ye Yuan to leave right away and said in a solemn voice, "Brother Ye is taking things a little too lightly, right? This trip into the Skydemon Mountain Range, we have another goal. Making a detour to Evil Water Ravine now is probably inappropriate, right? Moreover, Evil Water Ravine is notoriously dangerous. The poison bugs inside are countless. A single misstep and we''d all die there."


    Luo Yong also sneered when he heard that and said, "Kid, our squad was hired by Boss Duan with money, why is it like you''re the employer now?"


    When Yu Jing heard Ye Yuan''s words, her heart could not help turning warm.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "This Ye is an alchemist. In my eyes, nothing is more important than saving people. Moreover �� to talk about danger, our destination this time is definitely no better than the Evil Water Ravine, right?"


    Duan Peng''s expression changed when he heard that and fell silent.


    Luo Yong''s expression similarly changed. He said in a cold voice, "Kid, what do you mean?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing. Boss Duan said that when he entered the mountain last time, he accidentally learned of a place with the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit. But he definitely didn''t tell you guys that not only does the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit have the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, this kind of powerful accompanying beast, but there''s also even an accompanying spirit medicine like the Green Vine Emerald Net Flower. And the Green Vine Emerald Net Flower has the Darknight Poison Bat, this kind of accompanying beast. I think that these things added together, that place probably won''t be much safer than the Evil Water Ravine, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone''s countenance change visibly.


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape was a powerful rank four fierce beast. There was no need to talk much about it.


    Darknight Poison Bat was similarly a fierce beast that made people''s expressions change when they heard it. More importantly, they gathered in flocks; best to not provoke.


    Martial artists were not alchemists in the end, how could they be so clear about the habits of spirit medicines?


    The Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit was an extremely rare rank four spirit medicine, it could be sold for a high price when obtained.


    They also did not think so much and followed along.


    Who knew that that place was actually so dangerous!


    "Duan Peng, what''s the meaning of this?" Luo Yong''s face fell and he questioned.


    Duan Peng himself was also blindsided. These things that Ye Yuan said, he really did not know.


    Back then, when he saw the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, he immediately ran away and did not see anything else at all.


    "I really didn''t know that that place was actually so dangerous!" Duan Peng said anxiously.


    Luo Yong said with a cold snort, "You''ve been there, would you not know? At this point, do you still take us to be fools? Your father isn''t going anymore!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I think that Boss Duan really doesn''t know. The Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit faces the sun, it''s likely at the entrance of some cave. The Vine Emerald Net Flower likes Yin and should be in the depths of a cave. But once startled the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, the Darknight Poison Bat will surely be startled too."


    Ye Yuan''s words made everyone feel lingering fear.


    If they went over without due consideration like this, once surrounded by Darknight Poison Bats, they would not even know how they died.


    Luo Yong said with a cold snort, "Since you knew, why didn''t you say it earlier? I think that you''re harboring ill intent!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I said earlier, would you all believe?"


    Everyone could not help feeling suffocated when they heard it. If not for Ye Yuan displaying astonishing Alchemy Dao strength, they definitely would not believe.


    A Third Firmament Divine Lord''s words were not enough to believe.


    Luo Yong''s face fell and he waved his hand and said, "Don''t care, your father isn''t going anymore! Although treasures are good, I also need to have the life to take them. Your father doesn''t want to die in vain!"


    As he said, he was actually really about to leave.


    Boss Duan had a look of unwillingness and stopped Luo Yong, and said, "Don''t go, as long as we can obtain the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit, you and I split 60% equally, the others share 40%! As long as our tactics are reasonable, it''s not without a chance!"


    The corners of Luo Yong''s mouth curled, revealing a smile of his trickery succeeding.


    He naturally did not want to really go, he just wanted to use this to exploit Boss Duan.


    Although his strength was inferior to Boss Duan''s, he was a true-blue Sixth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse too.


    This place could lack anyone but just could not lack him.


    Luo Yong indeed stopped and looked at Boss Duan and said, "This is what you said!"


    Duan Peng was just about to answer when Ye Yuan said coolly, "Then you should let him go. I have a way to not only obtain the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit, but we can also obtain the Green Vine Emerald Net Flower! Furthermore, as long as you all make a trip to Evil Water Ravine with me, Elder Sister Jing and I, we won''t take a single penny. The Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit and Green Vine Emerald Net Flower are all yours!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s faces changed.


    Duan Peng said with great joy, "Is this true?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "When you told me that the objective of this trip is the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit, I already made the preparations in the city. This minor matter is naturally nothing difficult."


    Luo Yong immediately froze there, unable to leave.


    So awkward!

 1734 Falling Into Bug Encirclemen

    Upon entering Evil Water Ravine, a dark and damp scent hit head-on.


    This place was densely covered in miasma, earth-fire exuberant, resulting in this dampness making people feel uncomfortable from head to toe.


    "This damn place is simply a barren hill and turbulent waters. No wonder it''s called Evil Water Ravine! Your Father is really retarded, to actually following you all to this kind of place!" Luo Yong cursed.


    "No one made you come! You yourself insisted on following!" Yu Jing rolled her eyes and said huffily.


    The moment Luo Yong heard, he could not help laughing awkwardly and stopped speaking.


    He still thickened his skin and followed after in the end.


    After all, the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit was very valuable. Even according to the terms negotiated previously, his harvest was also not small.


    Otherwise, with his strength, why would he follow Boss Duan to this kind of place.


    Duan Peng said, "The insects and bugs here are countless, impossible to guard against. Everybody be a little more careful."


    No need him to say, everyone already released their divine essence, protecting their bodies.


    Yu Jing said rather nervously, "Can �� the method to save my brother really be found here?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Myriad things under the heaven, reinforce and counteract each other. Although the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug is powerful, there''s always something that restrains it."


    Duan Peng frowned and said, "This place is so big, so how to find it?"


    "Yeah! If there''s really some antidote, would Master Song Yu not know? I''ve also heard of the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug before. It''s simply incurable!" Luo Yong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "There are too many unknown things in this world. You don''t know, doesn''t mean there isn''t! Forget about Master Song Yu, even the Medicinal Ancestor, would he dare say that he knows all of the myriad life under the heavens?"


    Luo Yong sneered when he heard that and said, "Messing around for so long, it means that you also don''t know what the antidote is? You hoodwinked everyone to come together, but didn''t even have a clue, truly laughable!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This ''everyone'' doesn''t include you. You insisted on following by yourself."


    Luo Yong choked and was just about to fly off the handle, but then he heard Duan Peng saying, "Alright, old Luo, don''t keep on making things difficult for Ye Yuan. Already came, so Ye Yuan, what should we do now?"


    Ye Yuan was clearly long prepared and blurted out, "Of course it''s finding the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug first! This thing is very formidable and should be perched at the place where it''s the most humid and the earth-fire most vigorous! We''ll just have to head toward this kind of place to look for it."


    As for the method to resolve the poison, even Immortal Grove did not know as well.


    However, this could not stump Ye Yuan.


    When at the Immortal Grove World, he frequently liked to go and crack strange poisons that no one could resolve. He had his own set of methods.


    Even though the Heavenspan World was different from the Immortal Grove World, the principle was interlinked.


    The party headed toward the place where earth-fire was the most vigorous. But along the way, it could not avoid tangling with some poisonous things.


    But this party was strong and did not expend much effort.


    Looking as the earth-fire got more and more vigorous, the humidity also getting heavier and heavier, everyone actually had a feeling that even breathing became hindered.


    Duan Peng frowned and said, "This place is too weird. These miasma, dampness, and earth-fire gas, is actually able to corrode divine essence. At this rate, I also can''t persevere long."


    Even Duan Peng, this peak Sixth Firmament Divine Lord existence, could not quite hold on anymore, let alone the others.


    Yu Jing''s complexion was very pale, forehead sweating profusely. Clearly, she already could not quite hold on anymore.


    Ye Yuan, on the other hand, his chaos divine essence was incomparably sturdy and did not fear these gases'' erosion.


    His state was instead the best among the six people.


    "Reckon that it shouldn''t be far away, the earth-fire gas and humidity here are already very��Careful!"


    Ye Yuan was just speaking when he suddenly pulled Yu Jing into his embrace and stabbed a sword out with a backhand, movements swift to the extreme!


    Everyone did not understand what happened. Turning around to look, they saw that on the tip of Ye Yuan''s sword, a milky-white bug was pierced on it. Their expressions changed drastically.


    Duan Peng''s expression changed and he said, "This bug is so formidable, quietly approaching so close and we actually didn''t detect it! Hang on, could this be ��"


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded and said, "That''s right, this is it!"


    In the team, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Not good, you guys, look!"


    Everyone turned around to look and discovered that the surroundings were crawling densely full of bugs, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, even on the trees.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces revealed a look of despair.


    Duan Peng''s complexion turned pale as he said, "Damn it, we entered the lair of the Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs! With this, it''s hard to escape even if we grow wings!"


    Luo Yong said fiercely, "Ye Yuan, it''s all you! If not for you, we also wouldn''t be at our wits'' end now!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop shouting and wrangling. Even if I did it on purpose, can you still escape currently?"


    Luo Yong choked, immediately feeling incomparably aggrieved.


    Yeah, this current sort of situation, even if he killed Ye Yuan, it could not change any outcome either.


    Yu Jing''s complexion also turned white and she said, "Ye Yuan, s-sorry, it was all Elder Sister Jing who harmed you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "All putting on a dead person''s face for what? It''s not over yet. Want to grumble, wait until we go out before grumbling."


    Luo Yong said furiously, "Go out? It has already reached this point, but you''re still making wisecracks! These bugs are all rank four fierce beasts. Now, all of the paths are blocked. So how to get out?"


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said calmly, "I''ll bring you all out. All don''t resist, continue to go in! This place isn''t the place where earth-fire is most vigorous, the thing that can resolve the poison should be inside!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan released his divine essence and wrapped the other five people inside, directly ripping apart space and passing through the insect swarm!


    When everyone saw that they broke out of the insect swarm all of a sudden, each and every one of them was shocked until the shock could not be greater.


    "Spatial law! Brother Ye really kept to your own counsel!" Duan Peng cried out in shock.


    Luo Yong also had a look of astonishment. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually comprehended such a terrifying power of law.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Let''s continue escaping toward the inside, but don''t shake off the bug swarm. Let them chase after!"


    The distance that Ye Yuan shuttled through space was not very far. At this time, those bugs seemed to be very angry, all flying over toward this side.


    Everyone immediately felt their scalps tingle, scampering away.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and fired out several sword lights with a backhand, directly slaughtering a swarm.


    With this, those bugs became even more berserk, flying over toward Ye Yuan in a fierce fighting mood one after another.


    Ye Yuan grinned and sped away, catching up to Yu Jing who fell behind to the back very quickly.


    As Yu Jing flew, she said gratefully, "Ye Yuan, I �� I really don''t know how I should thank you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Want to thank, wait until after finding the antidote before talking. Right now, I don''t have any confidence at all!"


    The moment Yu Jing heard this, somewhat worrying about personal gains and losses, she said, "Can we �� find the antidote?"


    Ye Yuan said, "Relax, no matter how powerful the poisonous object, within a circumference of 100 miles, one can definitely find the thing that restrains it!"

 1735 Confronting Bug King!

    As it got closer and closer to the center of the earth-fire, the erosion of all kinds of corrosive gases naturally also became more and more severe.


    Yu Jing''s aura was already starting to get chaotic, her speed naturally could not pick up as well, falling behind with Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan pulled Yu Jing''s hand and a surge of chaos divine essence passed over.


    Feeling her hand being held, Yu Jing jumped in fright and was instinctively going to pull it out.


    But very soon, she discovered a powerful and vigorous divine essence shielded her whole body, immediately reducing her pressure significantly.


    Yu Jing looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment. Only then did she discover that the Third Firmament Divine Lord Ye Yuan was completely fine until now!


    Now, he actually still had excess divine essence to come and help her.


    How did this guy do it?


    Feeling that powerful divine essence around her that was much more powerful than her own, she thought to herself that it was no wonder Ye Yuan could kill the Raging Fire Centipede.


    This person was not simple!


    "Thank you, Ye Yuan!" Yu Jing said from the bottom of her heart.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Sister Jing, you''ve already said thank you many times!"


    Yu Jing''s face turned red and she said, "I �� Apart from saying thanks, I don''t know what I should say."


    Ye Yuan smiled and was just about to speak when suddenly, the mountains shook and the earth quaked ahead.


    Bang!


    A white enormous bug suddenly scurried out from underground and bit towards Ye Yuan.


    The four people who were currently running in front were taken aback with fright by this sudden turn of events.


    Duan Peng''s expression changed and he said, "Shit, this is the bug king! Looks like it has peak middle-stage rank four strength! The two of them are in danger!"


    The position where the bug king appeared did not deviate to either side and just nicely cut off the six people, blocking Ye Yuan two people.


    When Luo Yong saw this scene, his face revealed an unnatural look of joy.


    Even though Ye Yuan saved him just now, he still wished for Ye Yuan to go die!


    Yu Jing''s face turned white as a sheet and exclaimed, "Ye Yuan, be careful!"


    This sudden turn of events was too abrupt, catching the two people off-guard.


    It was already too late to want to avoid it.


    Yu Jing wanted to push Ye Yuan away and confront that enormous bug herself, but she discovered that she could not push at all.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan''s left hand threw a claw out with dragon roars howling endlessly.


    Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Bang!


    A loud noise came over, Ye Yuan and the enormous bug each retreated several steps.


    Yu Jing got a big shock. She did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually this strong.


    Ye Yuan, in his haste, actually fought to a draw with it!


    Duan Peng and the rest also had shocked faces, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually safe and sound.


    "It turns out that Ye Yuan is actually even a body-cultivator. Furthermore, his strength is already at the middle-stage fourth transformation!" Duan Peng said with surprise.


    Luo Yong even thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, so how could he have known that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful. He laughed coldly and said, "Boss Duan, I''ve long said that this brat is unreliable! He hid his strength, pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger! I think that he''s hiding a malicious intent. Yet, you all still believed his words."


    Duan Peng looked into the distance, expression gloomy and uncertain, and also could not quite make a decision for some time.


    Those in their line of profession, no one would really trust.


    In this Skydemon Mountain Range, the most terrifying thing was not fierce beasts but the human heart!


    Regarding Luo Yong and Ye Yuan two people''s conflict, he had actually been sitting it out and watching the fight all along.


    As long as it did not affect his journey, no matter how these two people quarreled, it did not hurt the important essentials.


    But he discovered now that the things Ye Yuan hid were too many.


    What Duan Peng did not expect the most was that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful.


    Just now, the bug king suddenly emerged. If it were him, he might not come out unscathed either, but Ye Yuan did it!


    Looking at it this way, Ye Yuan''s strength was already not beneath his.


    While over there, with this delay, Ye Yuan and Yu Jing were surrounded by the Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs very quickly.


    Yu Jing shouted, "Boss Duan, quickly come over and help!"


    Luo Yong looked at Yu Jing, a spiteful look on his face. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Duan, you have to think clearly! Bringing this kid with us, weal and woe are unknown!"


    Yu Jing saw that the few of them did not have any movements and said in a great panic, "Ye Yuan, you can definitely get out yourself, don''t care about me!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly turned dark and he said, "Shut up! Let''s go out together! Hold me tight, don''t let go!"


    Being shouted at by Ye Yuan like this, Yu Jing was immediately frightened until she did not dare to make a sound anymore, grabbing onto Ye Yuan''s hand tightly, not daring to loosen up.


    Ye Yuan''s figure moved swiftly, rushing over towards the bug king.


    Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Ye Yuan blasted a move out once more, exchanging a blow with the bug king!


    One human and one bug retreated several steps again!


    If it was Ye Yuan alone, he naturally did not fear this bug king.


    If not for the sake of finding the antidote, Ye Yuan would be able to kill this bug king with one sword.


    But now, he needed these Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs to bring him to go find the antidote.


    Once he killed the bug king, these Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs would definitely scatter and flee in all directions, and finding the antidote would be impossible.


    As for spatial law, he used it straight away when he encountered the bug king just now, but it was negated by the other party!


    This bug king seemed to be very sensitive towards spatial fluctuations.


    Hence, Ye Yuan chose to confront head-on!


    After retreating with his move, Ye Yuan forcefully endured the counter-shock and did not stop in the slightest, charging once more.


    Another Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Bang!


    Powerful aftershock dispersed in all directions, directly sending those Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs that attempted to come close flying out, unable to approach at all.


    Following that, the third time, fourth time, fifth time!


    This bug king''s strength was truly formidable. If it were the average Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, they would also be shocked into minced meat by Ye Yuan''s uninterrupted Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven.


    But, this bug king was just repelled back several steps each time, then welcomed Ye Yuan''s assault once more.


    Blue patterns flashed on Ye Yuan''s body, his fleshy body erupting with unparalleled endurance. launching an assault time and again.


    Far away, Duan Peng, Luo Yong, and the rest were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    That series of loud noise gave them an incomparably strong impact.


    This level of power was sufficient to utterly crush them!


    "So strong! Could this guy''s body be forged from meteoric iron?"


    "This is killing 800 of your enemy and losing 1000 of your own! No matter how strong the physical body, it still can''t withstand the execution of such martial technique!"


    Luo Yong laughed coldly and said, "Heh heh, he still wants to be a hero to rescue the beauty! I think that he''s almost reaching the limits too, right?"


    Duan Peng''s expression flickered incessantly. He was still struggling whether or not to take action.


    Ye Yuan was like a madman, launching assaults again and again, clashing with the bug king.


    Suddenly, Duan Peng clenched his teeth and charged over toward the bug king.


    However, right at this time, Ye Yuan launched the 13th assault!


    Rumble!


    The bug king was directly smacked flying out by the dragon claw!


    This time, it was unable to stabilize its figure anymore.


    When Ye Yuan saw this, he could not help being overjoyed, grabbing Yu Jing and rushing over.


    "Go!" Ye Yuan shouted loudly at the Duan Peng who rushed over, immediately speeding over.


    Duan Peng looked at this scene in shock and was speechless for a while.


    This guy assaulted 13 times consecutively, displaying such a powerful martial technique, and was actually still brimming with vigor currently!


    But he also did not dare to stay, immediately running around and fleeing.


    After that bug king landed, it crawled up very quickly, lifted its head to the sky, and gave a long roar.


    Those Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs received its summoning and pounced toward Ye Yuan and the rest once more.

 1736 Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flower

    "Retreated! They retreated!"


    The few people were currently running when those Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs retreated like tidewater, including that bug king which also did not dare to come over anymore.


    Seeing this, the few people all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    This sea of insects was truly too scary, making them have a feeling of making a trip to and back from the gates of hell.


    "Puhwark!"


    Stopping, Ye Yuan''s injuries could no longer be suppressed and started vomiting blood in large mouthfuls.


    Yu Jing''s expression changed and she hurriedly supported Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, are you alright?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said rather feebly, "I''m fine. I won''t die!"


    Yu Jing had a remorseful look. She knew that Ye Yuan would only be injured so badly in order to protect her.


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan''s strength, that bug king could not stop him at all.


    "Heh heh, the hero rescuing the beauty always need to pay some price!" Luo Yong said with a cold smile.


    The moment Yu Jing heard this, she immediately exploded and scolded angrily, "Surnamed Luo, what do you mean? Just now, asking you all for help, none of you acted. Now, making irresponsible and sarcastic remarks, can you be more shameless?"


    Luo Yong had always hankered after Yu Jing a lot. But looking at the current situation, he knew that he had no more hope.


    Hence, the original enthusiasm became resentment.


    This was the so-called, giving birth to hatred because of love, right?


    Luo Yong smiled coldly and said, "Yu Jing, you don''t get deceived by this brat anymore! He concealed his strength, sneaked into our team. So who knows what''s he trying to do? If he''s open and aboveboard, why couldn''t he tell us earlier?"


    Yu Jing responded with a cold smile, "Don''t think others to be as filthy as you!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Stop quarreling, I''ll recover a bit!"


    He fished out a medicinal pill and consumed it, and started to meditate on the spot.


    Soon after, he regained more than half of his strength.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    The medicinal effects of this medicinal pill was also a little too good, right?


    "This place is already the central-area of the earth-fire. If my conjectures are right, the antidote should be around here," Ye Yuan got up and slowly said.


    Duan Peng said, "But, how do we know what object can cure the poison here?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, extended his hand, and flipped it. A milky-white bug appeared in the palm of his hand. It was shockingly a Firecloud Ice Edge Bug.


    The bug was very ferocious, having the appearance of baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. But it had restrictions laid down by Ye Yuan and could not break free at all.


    "Using this to find it!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Casually caught one, this thing is too weak."


    Everyone was rendered speechless!


    Weak? This was a rank four fierce beast!


    Ye Yuan opened his and started to turn around on the spot.


    Suddenly, the bug in Ye Yuan''s palm became restless. Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and walked over in that direction.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help clicking their tongues in wonder.


    Turned out that one could still use this kind of method to find the antidote, truly an eye-opener.


    Ye Yuan kept on walking forward in that direction. The Firecloud Ice Edge Bug became more and more restless.


    Suddenly, a stretch of dark-red little flowers appeared ahead.


    The Firecloud Ice Edge Bug in Ye Yuan''s hand suddenly became incomparably frenzied, colliding around inside the restriction wildly. Then there was no more movement.


    The moment everyone looked, it turned out that the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug was actually already without vitality. It died!


    Yu Jing forcefully suppressed the joy in her heart and said with a hopeful look, "Ye Yuan, these flowers wouldn''t be ��"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "That''s it, won''t be wrong!"


    Duan Peng said with a doubtful look, "What flower is this? I never seemed to have heard of it before!"


    Those in their line of work, even though they were not as proficient as alchemists, the vast majority of spirit medicines, they recognized them.


    But this dark-red small flower, even though it brimmed with spiritual energy and the grade was not low, they had never seen before and also never heard before.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Never heard before, then it''s right. If everyone has heard of it before, how can a Five-star Alchemy God possibly be helpless to do anything about the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug''s poison? The Firecloud Ice Edge Bug is rare to begin with. The spirit medicines able to resolve its poison were naturally even rarer."


    Upon thinking, Duan Peng thought so as well. If it was a spirit medicine that everyone knew, this poison would be nothing unusual.


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded, putting away these spirit medicines swiftly, and did not have the intention of allotting with the rest.


    But Luo Yong was indignant and said unhappily, "Brat, what do you mean by this? This is, at any rate, a rank four spirit medicine too, could it be that you want to pocket it alone?"


    But Ye Yuan said indifferently, "A spirit medicine whose name isn''t even known, you plan on taking it to go sell for money? Don''t waste things, alright? This thing placed in your hands is called a wanton waste of God''s good gifts. Placed in my hands, it might be able to yield unusually brilliant results. Moreover, what qualifications do you have to compete with me? Don''t you forget, we still have to pass through the Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs'' territory to go back!"


    At this time, Ye Yuan finally revealed his imposing side, momentum threatening, forcing Luo Yong to not dare to look him in the eyes.


    At the start, he just did not stoop to haggle over it with this kind of person.


    He did not expect that this guy jumped more and more merrily. Until now, he still did not figure out his standing, then he had no need to be courteous anymore.


    These people were merely guides for Ye Yuan.


    Luo Yong''s face turned stiff when he heard that, and was taken aback by Ye Yuan''s powerful aura, and actually did not dare to look Ye Yuan in the eyes anymore.


    Not just Luo Yong, even Duan Peng also could not quite bear it and opened his mouth to smooth things over and said, "H-Haha, this trip was all Brother Ye putting in the effort. These things should be obtained by Brother Ye. Moreover, this flower can only treat the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug''s poison. So its usage won''t be too broad either. The price won''t be too high. Old Luo, just let it go!"


    When Luo Yong heard that, he also took the chance to back down. Giving a cold snort, he stopped talking.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Hurry up, we shouldn''t stay in this place for long!"


    "Roar!"


    His voice had yet to fade when a roar was heard from the dense woods.


    Everyone''s faces changed, taking off running!


    Ye Yuan sprinted wildly along the way, maintaining composure on the surface. But actually, he was long already overflowing with joy in his heart.


    These people did not recognize this dark-red little flower, but he recognized it!


    This small flower was called Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flower, a rank four spirit medicine extremely abundant in spiritual energy.


    Using it to refine cultivation medicinal pills, the medicinal effect was more than 10 times of ordinary medicinal pills!


    It was just that this flower was seriously too rare. Even the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove back then had merely just seen it once.


    He did not expect that this thing actually still had the function of resolving the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug''s poison.


    Placed in the world, a medicinal pill could sell for a price of at least 100 billion too!


    So many Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flowers, the value was simply immeasurable!


    But just as Ye Yuan said, only by placing this spirit medicine in his hands could its true value be displayed.


    Placed in other people''s hands, it was simply a wanton waste of God''s good gifts.


    However, the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan currently used for cultivation were already pretty much depleted. It was precisely the time of shortage between two harvests.


    Now, finding so many Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flowers, he did not need to worry about cultivation for a very long period of time in the future anymore.


    This kind of treasure, Ye Yuan naturally would not let them land in these people''s hands.

 1737 Betrayal

    It was extremely smooth when they came out. Ye Yuan held a Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flower in his hand. So those Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs did not dare to approach at all.


    Even the bug king also did not dare to easily come forward.


    It could be seen from this that this thing was really the Firecloud Ice Edge Bugs'' nemesis.


    Following that, the party stepped onto the road of finding the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit.


    And in this party, Ye Yuan''s status was also quietly changing.


    At first, everyone felt that his strength was lacking and that he was here to take advantage of benefits.


    But now, everyone knew that Ye Yuan could forcefully contend with the bug king. He absolutely had the strength to contend for superiority with Duan Peng and Luo Yong.


    After half a month, under Dunn Peng''s leadership, the party finally arrived near the proximity of that cave.


    Duan Peng''s expression suddenly changed and he said, "Not good, someone came before us!"


    In the grass patches ahead, some footprints were faintly discernible. Clearly, someone had beaten them to it.


    Ye Yuan said, "No need to worry. According to your description, the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit isn''t fully mature currently. Even if someone discovers it, they also would not go and harvest it right now."


    Duan Peng''s heart eased up slightly, but still became somewhat worried.


    Having more competitors, this was not a good thing.


    At this point, one could only showcase their true abilities.


    Right at this time, seven to eight figures dashed out of the dense words, completely blocking off the road.


    The one in the lead was a burly man, holding a large ringed saber in his hand and overwhelmingly intimidating.


    Duan Peng''s face changed and he cried out in shock, "Qi Dongyu! It''s you all!"


    Qi Dongyu laughed and said, "Heh, I was wondering who it was, turns out that it''s you! Duan Peng, you''re also here for the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit, right? Get lost, this place is taken charge by your father!"


    The other squad had eight people. Just the Sixth Firmament Divine Lords had four. Hence, Qi Dongyu did not take Duan Peng seriously at all.


    Duan Peng''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Qi Dongyu, what right do you have to do this? This place was discovered by me first!"


    Qi Dongyu burst into laughter and said, "You discovered it? Hahaha, Duan Peng, do you feel that I am bored and specially came to amuse me? What right? Based on the fact that I win in numbers! Eh? Isn''t this Younger Brother Luo Yong?"


    Qi Dongyu suddenly saw Luo Yong at Duan Peng''s side and was clearly a little surprised.


    When Luo Yong saw Qi Dongyu, he was immediately wildly ecstatic inwardly.


    As he said, Luo Yong''s figure moved, directly dashing over.


    Duan Peng''s face changed and he said in a cold voice, "Luo Yong, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Luo Yong sneered and said, "What''s the meaning? Heh heh, along the way, I have had enough of you annoying cowards! You guys opposed me in all aspects for this kid, and even hope for me to help you? If not for the sake of the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit, I would have quit long ago! Now, running into Elder Brother Qi, your father naturally has to join their company!"


    The moment Yu Jing heard this, she said angrily, "Luo Yong, it was clearly you who made things difficult for Ye Yuan in all aspects along the way. Now, you''re actually playing the blame game!"


    Luo Yong smiled coldly and said, "You slut, shut up for your father! You clearly know that I''m interested in you, yet you engage in lovers talk with this gigolo along the way! It was on purpose, wasn''t it?"


    Duan Peng said in a solemn voice, "Luo Yong, you dare to betray your team! Do you still want to survive in this circle in the future?"


    Qi Dongyu had been observing from the sidelines all along and already pretty much understood the situation on Duan Peng''s side.


    Seeing Duan Peng questioning, he spoke up, "You rest assured, no one will know. These few are all brothers that this Qi can trust. If they don''t say, naturally no one will know."


    This meaning was already very clearly, they were prepared to murder them to keep their mouths shut at this time.


    Hearing that, Duan Peng''s expression changed drastically, but Luo Yong got it and let out a wild laugh as he said, "Hahaha, Duan Peng, do you see it? This is called brothers! Want to blame, blame that brat!"


    Qi Dongyu said to Luo Yong, "Coming out this time, I was originally going to call you, Brother. Seeing that you haven''t returned yet, I missed you. But I didn''t expect to meet here."


    These two people were the so-called people of the same ilk being drawn to each other. Their relationship was very good.


    Otherwise, Luo Yong also would not immediately turn traitor the moment he saw Qi Dongyu.


    Luo Yong said with a loud laugh, "Elder Brother, this trip, this Luo doesn''t want anything. Just kill this kid! I hope that Elder Brother will lend me a helping hand!"


    Qi Dongyu looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Younger Brother Luo, against a Third Firmament Divine Lord, you actually still need me to take action? What''s with you?"


    Luo Yong said with a solemn look, "Elder Brother, don''t underestimate this kid. He previously clashed with a peak middle-stage rank four bug king and didn''t fall into a disadvantageous situation. His strength is absolutely not behind yours and mine!"


    The moment these words came out, the expressions on Qi Dongyu''s side all changed slightly.


    A Third Firmament Divine Lord could actually clash with a peak middle-stage rank four bug king, this was too fake, right?


    However, Qi Dongyu also knew that at this time, Luo Yong absolutely would not crack jokes with him. Hence, he also took it seriously.


    "Wang Xiao, the three of you deal with Duan Peng! This kid, I''ll attack together with Younger Brother Luo. The others, apart from that girlie, kill them all!" Qi Dongyu arranged things.


    Yu Jing panicked when she saw the situation and said, "Ye Yuan, quickly go! With your strength, you can definitely escape!"


    Following Luo Yong''s betrayal, it was currently a nine-versus-five situation.


    Furthermore, among the other side''s nine people, there were five who were Sixth Firmament Divine Lord experts!


    Even though Yu Jing had witnessed Ye Yuan''s strength before, she did not think that Ye Yuan could still defy the heavens under this sort of situation.


    Qi Dongyu laughed loudly when he heard it and said, "Escape? Girlie, don''t you know that my, Qi''s speed, is unparalleled under the heavens? With me around, he''ll be hard-pressed to escape even if he grew wings!"


    The Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly smiled and said, "Escape? When did I say that I was going to escape?"


    Qi Dongyu laughed when he heard that and said, "Punk, very gutsy! However �� it''s no use! Resign yourself to fate!"


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but looked toward Luo Yong and said, "I didn''t fuss over it with you previously, but I didn''t expect that you went from bad to worse and even want to doom your companions to death now. People like you shouldn''t live in this world!"


    Luo Yong laughed loudly and said, "I shouldn''t live in this world? Hahaha, Ye Yuan, this is the funniest joke that I''ve heard since I entered the mountain! Elder Brother Qi, don''t talk rubbish with him any longer. Let us make him know who shouldn''t live in this world!"


    "Okay! I''ll challenge this kid, and see if he''s as impressive as you said!"


    As he said, Qi Dongyu brandished the large ringed saber and hacked toward Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, Luo Yong moved too!


    With two mighty Sixth Firmament Divine Lords attacking at the same time, the commotion was astonishing.


    Especially Qi Dongyu, his speed was really very fast.


    The seemingly cumbersome great ringed saber arrived in front of Ye Yuan''s face in a blink of an eye.


    Ye Yuan''s expression did not change, a seal rapidly forming in his hand!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan displayed spatial law, dodging Qi Dongyu''s saber nimbly. Taking the chance where his saber momentum already died down, the seal suddenly released!


    Nirvana Seal!


    Luo Yong knew that Qi Dongyu''s saber could not hack Ye Yuan and was just about to follow up with a sword, but discovered that a terrifying energy undulation was sent towards him!


    Bang!


    A loud bang, Luo Yong directly flew out backward, fresh blood spraying wildly, his aura withering rapidly.


    "You seemed to have misunderstood something. Not killing you is because you''re too weak, and not because you''re too strong," Ye Yuan said coolly.

 1738 Clay Chickens and Pottery Dogs

    With one seal, Luo Yong was heavily injured and dying!


    With Ye Yuan''s realm getting higher and higher, the power of the Nirvana Seal also grew with each passing day.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan just entered Third Firmament Divine Vortex, his strength already surpassed the Sixth Firmament Divine Lord Xiahou Yun.


    Now, he already reached peak Third Firmament Divine Vortex. Strength like Luo Yong''s was not worth mentioning at all in front of him.


    What was laughable was that he even provoked Ye Yuan along the way.


    Getting hit by the Nirvana Seal, Luo Yong''s vitality was rapidly fading away, his eyes full of disbelief.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was very strong, but he never thought that when Ye Yuan fought with the bug king, it was actually not his full strength yet!


    A body cultivator?


    It was simply a joke!


    How could he know that back then Yuan was just restricted by all sorts of conditions? It was not convenient to kill the bug king; that was all.


    What was exhibited was naturally not his true strength.


    At this time, the others also stopped fighting, looking over toward this side in surprise.


    Qi Dongyu''s expression was very ugly. His saber actually could not even touch the corners of Ye Yuan''s sleeves!


    Spatial law!


    Was this kid a freak?


    How could he comprehend such a mysterious power of law?


    "E-Elder Brother Qi, s-save me!" Luo Yong used the last of his strength and shouted.


    Qi Dongyu''s expression changed several times. Suddenly, he said savagely, "You damn thing, to actually dare scam me! Go and die!"


    Finished talking, Qi Dongyu swung the great ringed saber, a streak of saber light cleaved over.


    The pitiful Luo Yong was directly cleaved into two.


    Before dying, he was still hoping for Qi Dongyu to save me. Who knew that Qi Dongyu gave him a slash with a backhand.


    Qi Dongyu ended Luo Yong with one saber, cupped his fists at Ye Yuan, and said with a smile, "Haha, Little Brother, misunderstanding, it''s all a misunderstanding! This Luo Yong was clearly making use of me. I hpe that Little Brother doesn''t take it to heart."


    This scene turned around too quickly, everyone was dumbstruck with astonishment.


    This Qi Dongyu was also a little too shameless, right?


    But in the Skydemon Mountain Range, this kind of thing would frequently happen. After the surprise, everyone felt at ease.


    In this place, there were only eternal interests, no forever enemies.


    Duan Peng also heaved a long sigh in relief. He did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so powerful, one-shotting Luo Yong in one move.


    Clearly, Qi Dongyu felt that he was not to be trifled with and shrink back.


    Ye Yuan had been watching from the sidelines with cold eyes all along, watching Qi Dongyu perform.


    Qi Dongyu said with an awkward look. "This �� This �� was really just a misunderstanding! Little Nrother, we wouldn''t reach a concord without discord. In the future, I, Qi Dongyu, will be making friends with you!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Qi Dongyu and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Looks like you haven''t figured out the situation! Becoming friends with me, are you worthy?"


    Qi Dongyu''s expression changed and his face turned sullen as he said in a solemn voice, "Brat, we''ll have a chance to meet again! In this Skydemon Mountain Range, everybody will meet sooner or later. Must you insist on fighting to the death? Your strength is pretty good, but we have four Sixth Firmament Divine Lords. If we really fight it out to the bitter end, it''s still unknown who lives and dies!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled and said, "You''re really confident!"


    Qi Dongyu smiled coldly and said, "Confident? Your father has roamed unobstructed in the Skydemon Mountain Range for so many years, how could I survive without a little confidence? Wang Xiao, looks like this little brother wants to test our skills. Attack together!"


    Those three Sixth Firmament Divine Lords also gathered over when they heard that.


    Duan Peng had just let out a sigh in relief, thinking that this matter was over. Did not expect that Ye Yuan actually refused to drop the matter!


    Although Ye Yuan was very strong, fighting two-on-four was still too disadvantageous.


    But at this time, his only option was to stand together with Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Boss Duan, you just watch by the side. Just a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs, this young master doesn''t pay any attention to them yet."


    Everyone was taken aback. Qi Dongyu let out a big laugh and said, "Hahaha, a fine clay chickens and pottery dogs! Your father wants to see if you have real skills or you''re bragging!"


    Ye Yuan drew the Junyi Sword and said coolly, "Wouldn''t you know if you try it?"


    While talking, an overpowering sword intent surged to the sky, his figure also became illusory.


    Qi Dongyu''s countenance suddenly changed and he cried out, "Laws fusion!"


    However, there was already no time for him to be shocked. Ye Yuan already rushed over.


    Ye Yuan who displayed spatial law, how fast was his movements?


    He did not employ the Spirit Concealing Sword at all. Ordinary laws fusion, the power was already exceedingly formidable.


    Ye Yuan rushed into the midst of the four, akin to a tiger entering a flock of sheep, suppressing until the four people could not lift their heads at all.


    In a blink, the four people''s bodies were all injured.


    Ye Yuan caught a gap, thrust a sword out, and pierced over towards Qi Dongyu''s heart.


    Qi Dongyu was greatly alarmed, wanting to dodge was already too late. He instinctively raised the great ringed saber to block.


    Clank!


    A crisp sound of metal clashing came over. Qi Dongyu''s pupils gradually widened, his vitality rapidly fading away.


    Ye Yuan''s sword broke the great ringed saber into two, the remnant force not reducing, going straight into the heart.


    "Do you think you''re clay chickens and pottery dogs or not?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The other three people gasped heavily for air, their bodies all sustaining considerable injuries, eyes full of horror.


    This Third Firmament Divine Lord in front of them was too strong!


    Strong until it made people despair!


    Duan Peng watched until his face turned white and said in shock, "Qi Dongyu''s Ghost King Great Ringed Saber is a middle-grade divine lord mystic treasure. It �� It was actually cut in half by a sword!"


    Although Ye Yuan''s sword was a high-grade divine lord mystic treasure, wanting to break a middle-grade divine lord mystic treasure was also not that easy.


    One could imagine how powerful the force on Ye Yuan''s one sword was!


    Ye Yuan put away the long sword. Qi Dongyu fell to the ground weakly and was already devoid of life.


    How could Wang Xiao three people still dare to make a move? Directly kneeling down, he said with a mournful face, "Y-Your Excellency, spare our lives! This lowly one �� This lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! I beg Your Excellency to spare our lives!"


    Ye Yuan ignored them and said to Duan Peng, "Boss Duan, these people will be left to you to deal with."


    This kind of thing, Boss Duan was naturally the most adept.


    He sized all of the things these people entered the mountain with, then directly made them get lost.


    Since Ye Yuan left it to him to deal with, he naturally did not have the intention of killing anymore.


    Duan Peng had lived for so many years, he could naturally perceive this.


    Qi Dongyu''s party really acquired quite a number of good things. They could be sold at a high price.


    Of course, these natural treasures, Duan Peng naturally let Ye Yuan have the first pick.


    Regarding spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had always welcomed all that came. He picked some that he needed. But the rest, he did not take fancy to them.


    Done with all this, only then, did everyone let out a sigh in relief. Gazes that looked at Ye Yuan again were already totally different.


    Even Duan Peng, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan was also full of awe.


    "Alright, it''s also about time. The Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit is likely about to mature. Those Purple-eyed Devil Apes are probably unable to hold themselves back anymore. In a while, I''ll go lure the Purple-eyed Devil Apes away. You guys go and pick the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit and Green Vine Emerald Net Flower. Bring this powder on you. If those Darknight Poison Bats attack you guys, scatter this over, they won''t dare to get close."


    As he said, Ye Yuan fished out several packets of medicinal powder and threw it to the few people.

 1739 Purple-eyed Devil Ape

    The party quietly sneaked over toward the cave. Suddenly, a series of roars came from in front.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he said, "Not good, this aura �� The Purple-eyed Devil Ape went berserk!"


    The other people''s faces also turned pale. The horrifying aura coming from in front made their hearts palpitating.


    Duan Peng''s complexion was ashen as he said, "Once the Purple-eyed Devil Ape goes berserk, its strength rivals a Seventh Firmament Divine Lord! This �� What should we do?"


    Everyone seemed to be in deep thoughts due to his words. But this was interrupted when they saw a Purple-eyed Devil Ape in a bloody battle with a behemoth.


    That behemoth''s strength was also peerlessly powerful, already reaching peak middle-stage rank four!


    However, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape after going berserk was obviously a notch stronger!


    A pair of enormous fists were like two cannonballs, beating that behemoth until it did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Ye Yuan''s eyesight was excellent, one look and he saw that the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit within the cave was already mature!


    This behemoth was clearly drawn over by it.


    Once the Purple-eyed Devil Ape took care of this behemoth, it would definitely go pluck the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit straight away.


    "It''s a Scarlet Armored Beast! No wonder it could force the Purple-eyed Devil Ape to go berserk!" Ye Yuan said.


    Yu Jing sensed the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s raging strength. Her face was white as a sheet of paper as she said, "Ye Yuan, why don''t �� we give up? This Purple-eyed Devil Ape is too powerful. Even though your strength is strong, but ��"


    Yu Jing did not continue, but her meaning was already very clear.


    Ye Yuan most likely was not this Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s match, so it was better to not take the risk.


    Everyone had a score in their hearts. Even though Ye Yuan''s strength was extremely powerful and could even one-shot Sixth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses, facing off against Seventh Firmament Divine Lords, it was still not enough.


    Between a Seventh Firmament Divine Lord and a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, there was a massive bottleneck. The strength difference was tremendous.


    If Ye Yuan could break through to become a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord, it would be a cinch.


    However, Ye Yuan was only a Third Firmament Divine Lord right now. He was two stages away from the berserk Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    This kind of gap was not what talent could make up for.


    After all, between each minor realm of the Divine Lord Realm, the gap was tremendous too, let alone two stages.


    Duan Peng opened his mouth and did not speak.


    He knew that he did not have the right to speak currently.


    But letting him retreat right now, he was indeed unwilling.


    In the end, it was all for naught, how could he be willing?


    Right at this time, they could hear a loud noise in the distance. The Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s iron fist directly blasted the Scarlet Armored Beast flying, causing it to be dead until it could not be are more deader.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed, his figure scurrying out like lightning.


    "Carry out according to the original plan!"


    Throwing down this sentence, Ye Yuan''s figure disappeared.


    When he appeared again, he already swept to the vicinity of the Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    The four people''s expressions changed drastically, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so decisive. Wanting to stop it was already too late as well.


    Duan Peng''s expression changed several times and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Ye is truly someone who values friendship. Being able to find him this time was my, Duan Peng''s, blessing!"


    Among the Skydemon Mountain Range''s teams, being able to run into this kind of friend, that was really a rare species.


    Yu Jing said with a worried look, "Yeah, Brother Ye is a good person!"


    As the saying went: a friend in need is a friend indeed. It was pretty much like this.


    Facing a powerful adversary, Ye Yuan stepped forward bravely without any hesitation. This sentiment, who could remain unmoved?


    Ye Yuan stepped into the void and rushed over toward the cave. His goal was shockingly the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit!


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape had just resolved a powerful foe. It did not expect another one to spring out again, it was angered until it bellowed wildly.


    It was currently in a berserk state. Its aura was extremely powerful.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, it raised its hand. It was a punch, the speed swift to the extreme.


    With the Purple-eyed Devil Ape under a berserk state, regardless of whether it was power or speed, it soared dramatically.


    Even if Ye Yuan used spatial law, the difference was still too big.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, Ye Yuan clashed with the Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    The moment he made his move, it was his strongest attack!


    Spirit Concealing Sword


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan felt his internal organs shifted positions, figure flying out backward, fresh blood spurting wildly in the air.


    But the Purple-eyed Devil Ape was also not much better. This sword of Ye Yuan was incomparably swift and fierce and actually opened up a wound on its chest.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape was thoroughly enraged. A Third Firmament Divine Lord human actually injured it!


    Fierce beasts had savage and cruel temperaments to begin with. Under its rage at this time, it went even more utterly crazy.


    In the distance, Duan Peng and the rest revealed appalled looks, looking at this scene in extreme shock.


    "So strong! Turns out that this is Brother Ye''s true strength! That sword earlier was really too terrifying!" Duan Peng said in shock.


    "A Third Firmament Divine Lord actually injured the Purple-eyed Devil Ape after going berserk, crossing two stages! This �� This is too inconceivable!"


    Yu Jing exclaimed, "No wonder Brother Ye has always been calm and composed. Turns out that Luo Yong they all were simply clowns jumping around in his eyes!"


    Ordinary Third Firmament Divine Lords, forget about clashing with the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, they could be smacked into minced meat by a palm-wind of the other party more than several hundred feet away.


    But Ye Yuan actually forcefully exchanged a blow with the Purple-eyed Devil Ape and even injured the other party. This subverted common sense too much.


    Suddenly, Duan Peng''s face changed and he said, "Wait, after this guy goes berserk, regardless whether defense or recovery ability, it can be rated as freakish! This bit of injury is simply nothing to it!"


    It was only to see the wound on the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s chest in the midst of recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape lifted its head to the sky and gave a long roar, pounded its chest twice fiercely, then its figure flew out like a cannonball!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this Purple-eyed Devil Ape was actually so powerful.


    That sword just now was virtually his strongest attack already. It actually only left behind a shallow wound on the other party''s body.


    But his goal was not to clash head-on with the Purple-eyed Devil Ape but to draw the other party away.


    Hence, he borrowed the counter-shock, figure dashing out like lightning.


    "So fast!"


    Ye Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart. This Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s speed seemed to exceed his expectations.


    Ye Yuan who comprehended spatial law, his speed far surpassed ordinary people''s. Even Sixth Firmament Divine Lords also could not keep up with his speed.


    But this Purple-eyed Devil Ape after going berserk was actually even faster than him!


    Ye Yuan had already not felt such a strong sense of oppression for very long. He did not expect that he was forced to such a degree by a fierce beast today.


    One ape and one human, both figures were extremely swift, vanishing from everyone''s line of sight in a blink.


    Duan Peng brought everyone and revealed their figures, speeding over in the direction of the cave swiftly.


    Yu Jing was very flustered and said, "That Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s speed is so fast. Brother Ye will �� will be fine, right?"


    Yu Jing was very worried about Ye Yuan, her words already carrying sobbing.


    Duan Peng''s expression was also very ugly, but he still said, "This is the chance that Brother Ye risked his life to create for us. If we can''t even do this well, then we''d be letting him down too much! Brother Ye is a lucky fellow. He''ll definitely be fine!"

 1740 Time Lag

    Not far away, there was a plant, as tall as half a normal person''s height.


    On the plant, seven to eight blueish-white fruits were growing on it. They were shockingly the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruits.


    Duan Peng few people went up and collected all of these Silverwing Earthspirit Fruits into their bags, without any obstruction.


    Following that, they walked toward the depths of the cave and indeed discovered a large area of Green Vine Emerald Net Flowers.


    Duan Peng said with vicissitudes of emotion: "Brother Ye is truly a rare talent, knowing the habits of these spirit medicines like the palm of his hands!"


    Yu Jing said, "He can even resolve the poison of the Firecloud Ice Edge Bug,so what does this bit count for?"


    Duan Peng nodded his head and said, "Everybody, get ready! Be careful of the Darknight Poison Bats'' sneak attack!"


    The few people nodded in response, preparing the powder that Ye Yuan gave.


    At this point, they were already thoroughly convinced in Ye Yuan''s strength.


    Ye Yuan said that this powder was useful, then it was definitely useful.


    Otherwise, these Darknight Poison Bats'' danger level was not the slightest bit inferior to the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s. How could they dare to move?


    The few people made preparations and started gathering the Green Vine Emerald Net Flowers.


    Right at this time, a series of wing-flapping sounds came from within the cave.


    Only to see a densely packed large swarm of bats pouncing over towards the four people viciously.


    These bats were all the size of a human head, fierce-looking, looking incomparably ferocious.


    "Withdraw!"


    Duan Peng suddenly gave a loud roar, directly scattering the powder Ye Yuan made into the air. Tthe others also did the same.


    "Squeak, squeak!"


    The originally aggressive and fierce Darknight Poison Bats suddenly gave off shrill screams.


    Those bats stained by the powder struggled for a moment and turned into a pool of blood very quickly.


    The other Darknight Poison Bats were also akin to facing a great enemy, circling around in the sky, not daring to approach.


    When the few people saw this scene, they could not help being dumbfounded with shock.


    "This powder is so powerful, rank four fierce beasts were exterminated in a blink of an eye!"


    "This thing is simply like corpse-melting powder, but the power is God knows how many times greater!"


    Duan Peng was secretly alarmed and said in a solemn voice, "Move faster!"


    The few people did not dare to delay, putting away these Green Vine Emerald Net Flowers hurriedly.


    Those Darknight Poison Bats watched the few people''s actions helplessly but did not dare to move forward.


    The powder suffused in the air was a deadly threat to them.


    When the few people exited the cave, a peerlessly powerful aura suddenly arrived from the distance with a howl.


    Duan Peng''s expression changed greatly and he cried out in shock, "Not good, it''s the Purple-eyed Devil Ape! Could ��"


    Yu Jing''s tears flowed down, shaking her head in an unwillingness to believe as she said, "No! Brother Ye he won''t die!"


    Duan Peng said in a solemn voice, "Now''s not the time to be saying this, being caught up by the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, we''d be dead for sure! Quickly run!"


    How could the few people dare to stay? All of them mustered their speed to the limits, wanting to shake off the Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s roars arrived close from afar, its speed swift to the extreme.


    Duan Peng turned his head to look, his heart immediately turning cold.


    That Purple-eyed Devil Ape was extremely berserk right now, with its two enormous eyes emitting a purple light that stirred people''s souls. This was the hallmark of the Purple-eyed Devil Ape being berserk to the limit.


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape under this state, its strength was the most terrifying!


    One had to know, even Ye Yuan could not shake off the Purple-eyed Devil Ape, let alone these people.


    Among the four people, Yu Jing''s strength was the weakest, her speed also the slowest.


    In a whistle, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape already caught up.


    Suddenly, Yu Jing stopped, looked at the Purple-eyed Devil Ape with a decisive look, and said, "You animal, to actually kill Brother Ye, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    Finished talking, she used all of her strength and rushed over towards the Purple-eyed Devil Ape with a sword.


    Yu Jing knew that this was a suicide attack, but she already did not want to run anymore.


    When Duan Peng and the rest saw this scene, they could not help turning pale with fright.


    But he already revealed a decisive look, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*cking hell, your father will fight it out with you too! Everybody attack together, avenge Brother Ye!"


    Done talking, he suddenly erupted, and actually arrived first despite launching later, charging over towards the Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    However, the devil ape until the purple-eye state, its imposing momentum was truly incomparably dreadful.


    Before arriving near it, the four people already felt tremendous pressure, as if their movements also became sluggish.


    "Roar!"


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s iron arm swept, a terrifying palm-wind swept over!


    The palm-wind had yet to arrive and it already blew until the four people were reeling from right to left.


    It was not a fight on the same level at all!


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s slap was too fast, arriving in front of the four people in a flash.


    This palm landing, the four would absolutely die!


    At the critical moment, a figure suddenly charged out of the void, shooting straight for the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s eyes!


    This was too sudden, even the Purple-eyed Devil Ape did not react as well.


    But the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s reaction speed could be rated as fast, the other iron arm immediately smacking its palm over toward that figure.


    "Puchi!"


    "Roar!"


    Duan Peng four people were smacked flying; Ye Yuan who rushed out of the void was similarly smacked flying.


    However, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s eyes were injured by Ye Yuan''s swift and fierce sword energy, being in pain until it kept howling.


    "Hide further away!"


    Ye Yuan spewed out a large mouthful of blood as he shouted fiercely.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was not dead, the four people could not help being overjoyed.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s roar, they also abruptly startled awake and dodged far away.


    Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his shocked internal organs once more and put away the Junyi Sword.


    Taking the chance when the Purple-eyed Devil Ape was crying out in pain, the Tai Chi Diagram in his hand suddenly appeared!


    Far away, when Duan Peng and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    "This �� This is the legendary Great Dao pill refinement! My god!" Duan Peng said in shock.


    Only to see a medicinal pill gradually condense and form in the center of the Tai Chi Diagram.


    Previously, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape was chasing Ye Yuan, looking as if it was about to catch up. But the Purple-eyed Devil Ape suddenly turned around and went back in the direction of the cave.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help turning pale with fright, knowing that this guy''s intellect was rather high, and already realized that this was a scheme to lure the tiger out of the mountains.


    Ye Yuan secretly thought to himself that this was not good. At the rate of this speed, the few of them would probably find it very hard to escape.


    He knew that this battle was likely unavoidable already.


    Originally thought that luring the enemy away from its base could work, who knew that this Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s intellect far exceeded his imagination.


    But with his current strength, he was not the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s match at all.


    In his haste, Ye Yuan''s figure shuttled, entering the World Suppressing Stele, and let Ning Tianping urge the Purple Extreme Hall to fly speedily in the direction of the cave.


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele''s space, Ye Yuan used the Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flower that was just obtained and started to carry out a pill refinement.


    Originally, Ning Tianping had been urging the Purple Extreme Hall all along, quietly following Yu Jing and the rest, only waiting for Ye Yuan''s refinement to succeed.


    Who knew that at this time, Yu Jing actually turned around and clashed head-on with the Purple-eyed Devil Ape.


    Helpless, Ye Yuan could only give up on the pill refinement and made a move to sneak attack the Purple-eyed Devil Ape in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint.


    However, the medicinal pill was refined halfway. If it could not refine successfully, it was still death.


    This bit of injury was not fatal to the Purple-eyed Devil Ape!


    Hence, Ye Yuan directly refined the medicinal embryo inside the Profound Yellow Cauldron and immediately refined the pill with Great Dao!


    Because of the time lag, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill already reached the final juncture.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan shouted ''condense'' fiercely, the medicinal pill was finally refined successfully!

 1741 Leaving Alone

    Ye Yuan did not say a word and swallowed the medicinal pill.


    Raging spiritual energy was instantly converted into divine essence, pouring into the divine vortex.


    Bang!


    The divine vortex within Ye Yuan''s body started quaking once more.


    Not only did his divine vortex not become bigger, but it also shrunk up even more under some kind of mysterious force instead.


    Around Ye Yuan, spiritual energy surged crazily, bolts of blue lightning flashing around him intermittently, looking very astonishing.


    This medicinal pill was called Dark Fragrance Concentration Pill, a pill formula in Immortal Grove''s hands. The medicinal effect was extremely strong.


    It was just that the Netherworld Dark Fragrance Flower was too rare, so this pill formula was virtually useless.


    Ye Yuan reached peak Third Firmament Divine Vortex in the first place and was only a step away from Fourth Firmament Divine Vortex. Now, under the impact of this colossal spiritual energy, Ye Yuan''s breakthrough happened without extra effort.


    As if sensing Ye Yuan''s steadily rising aura, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape pounced over toward Ye Yuan once more.


    This Purple-eyed Devil Ape was clearly very intelligent and was able to sense Ye Yuan''s might.


    Now, seeing that his breakthrough was near at hand, it decided to interrupt his breakthrough!


    The expressions of Duan Peng and the rest changed. Duan Peng warned in a loud voice, "Brother Ye, be careful!"


    At this time, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s eyes were purplish-red, looking incomparably demonic.


    His speed and power seemed to be even greater than before!


    In a blink, a punch arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape bellowed wildly to no end, appearing very excited.


    This punch landing, this damn human would definitely turn to ashes.


    Because this human already did not have time to back down.


    Bang!


    "Ahh!"


    A cry of surprise came from Duan Peng that side.


    But the scene that followed left them dumbfounded with shock.


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s punch going down, Ye Yuan was safe and sound. But it was akin to being struck by lightning, directly being blasted far away.


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape fell to the ground, twitching non-stop. There were still some blue lightning dancing on its body.


    Duan Peng and the rest exchanged glances, looking at this scene in disbelief, dumbfounded looks on their faces.


    "W-What happened? Why did the Purple-eyed Devil Ape fall by itself?"


    "Don''t know! The power of that punch just now was so strong, but it seemed like it smashed on his own body."


    "Brother Ye is really too strange! When breaking through, one actually can''t get close to him?"


    ...


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to a different person than before!


    Ye Yuan breaking through a minor realm, the amount of spiritual energy required was more than several dozen times of ordinary martial artists.


    Breaking through a stag this time, it was even more of thick accumulations erupting.


    How much stronger was his aura compared to before?


    Even separated so far away, Duan Peng and the rest could also feel Ye Yuan''s might.


    Duan Peng''s face changed slightly and he said, "So strong! I feel like if he wanted to kill me now, just twitching his fingers will do!"


    The others nodded silently, clearly agreeing to this very much.


    Even Duan Peng had this feeling, let alone them.


    Ye Yuan walked to the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s side slowly. The Purple-eyed Devil Ape was still twitching on the ground currently. He said coolly, "I know that you can understand me. This matter was indeed our fault, so I won''t kill you. Go."


    The Purple-eyed Devil Ape twitched twice before crawling to its feet with some difficulty and knelt down very human-like, and kowtowed toward Ye Yuan. Clearly, it was thanking his grace of not killing it.


    The purple light in the Purple-eyed Devil Ape''s eyes already completely faded. But it also seemed to have suffered a serious illness, aura diminishing drastically.


    Duan Peng and the rest also came over and was very perplexed by Ye Yuan''s way of doing things as one asked, "Brother Ye, he almost killed us just now. Why let him go?"


    One had to know, when Ye Yuan killed Luo Yong and Qi Dongyu previously, he was not as softhearted as now.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "All lives have spirituality. Those who should be killed should be killed, while those who shouldn''t be killed shouldn''t be killed. It guarded the Silverwing Earthspirit Fruit for many years but was snatched away by us. If we commit anymore killing sin, it goes against nature and reason. Leave a ray of hope when conducting oneself."


    The few people exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand, the Purple-eyed Devil Ape was akin to being granted amnesty, immediately sprinting away.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s decision, Duan Peng and the rest naturally did not dare to have the least bit of objection. He had an excited look as he said, "Brother Ye''s strength is truly inconceivable! This trip, if not for you, the few of us would probably have died until not even dregs remain! This Duan thanks Brother Ye''s life-saving grace here! These Silverwing Earthspirit Fruits and Green Vine Emerald Net Flowers, please accept them."


    As he said, Duan Peng handed a storage ring over.


    Ye Yuan smiled and pushed the storage ring back and said coolly, "A man''s promise cannot be taken back once made, how can I go back on my word now? These things, the few of you divide them."


    Duan Peng had a difficult look as he said, "Brother Ye, I don''t have other intentions, I just �� I just feel apologetic."


    Ye Yuan said, "I''ve received your goodwill, but I have my own principles. These things, I won''t accept them."


    Actually, these two spirit medicines, Ye Yuan was naturally not indifferent to them.


    It was just that he had his own principles. Previously, in order to made Duan Peng they all go to the Evil Water Ravine, since he made the promise, he would not go back on it.


    Moreover, these few years, Ye Yuan followed Duan Peng they all and also pretty much inquired about some of the Skydemon Mountain Range''s things.


    These spirit medicines, just take it as remuneration.


    Duan Peng said with vicissitudes of emotion, "Brother Ye is truly trusting. This Duan has traversed in this Skydemon Mountain Range for many years, what I learned was all mutual suspicion and deception. Meeting Brother Ye today, I''m truly ashamed!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Everyone''s standpoint is different. In this Skydemon Mountain Range, wanting to live naturally can''t dispense with mutual suspicion and deception. If I were here, I might not be better than Brother Duan."


    At this time, Yu Jing came up and said, "Brother Ye, you''re really different from the average person!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, this trip is done. Everyone, I''ll say goodbye here then."


    Yu Jing''s face changed and she said in surprise, "You''re not going back with us?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m making a trip to the Demon God Plain and won''t be going back with you all."


    Duan Peng said in surprise, "Brother Ye, the Demon Divine Region is abnormally perilous and there are countless great demons. It''s too dangerous for you to head there alone!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I naturally know this. But I have reasons that I must go. Elder Sister Jing, after you go back, let your brother eat these spirit medicines. In less than half a month, he''ll sure be cured. At that time, you''ll be able to return to your hometowns."


    Hearing the news that Ye Yuan was going to leave, her heart seemed to be pricked by something.


    But so many years of making a living in the Skydemon Mountain Range, Yu Jing was no longer that kind of young girl anymore.


    She forcefully held back years, gave Yu Jing a salute with her hands folded at the lower right side, and said, "Many thanks for Brother Ye Yuan''s great kindness. Elder Sister Jing will definitely remember it well!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and bade farewell to everyone.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s back view vanish into the dense forest, Duan Peng sighed and said, "Sister Jing, Brother Ye he �� is destined to be someone that doesn''t belong in the same world as us!"

 1742 Priest Temple

    Tyrant Origin Imperial City was a high-order imperial city near the Skydemon Mountain Range at the Demon God Plain.


    The demon race was different from humans. Due to the many races, conflicts would frequently erupt among them.


    Furthermore, some demon races were extremely intelligent, not even the slightest inferior to humans.


    These demon races transformed into the appearance of humans and also established their own faces.


    Hence, in the Demon God Plain, one city after another rose from the ground.


    Just like the humans.


    Of course, there was also a portion of extremely intelligent demon races that did not condescend to transform.


    They lived in the Skydemon Mountain Range, ruling over a large number of territories, living a life of being a local despot.


    Outside Tyrant Origin Imperial City''s Priest Temple, a group of young demons had excited faces.


    Today was the day the Priest Temple recruited apprentices. Quite a number of young demons all gathered at the Priest Temple to take part in the test, wanting to become a priest trainee.


    In the demon race, becoming a priest of the Priest Temple was a very sacred thing.


    The Priest Temple was similar to the Alchemist Association but was also somewhat different.


    Even if these demons could refine medicinal pills, they might not be able to become a real priest too.


    Only by reaching a certain strength and getting the approval of the Priest Temple''s elders could one become a true priest.


    Once become a priest, one would possess a very lofty standing in the demon race.


    Even demons that had yet to take human form also would not easily offend a priest.


    Because the Priest Temple was created by an extremely powerful major power of the demon race. It had a paramount status in the entire demon race.


    "Saw that? That''s the priest trainee, Kong Lin, that Master Huo Rong took in the last time. I heard that he already officially became a priest last year."


    "Really envious of him! Priest apprenticeship is too hard to pass. I already took more than ten times and didn''t pass it!"


    "You only took roughly over a dozen times? I already took hundreds of times and didn''t pass!"


    "Heh, it''s all the same! Each trainee test, it''s already pretty good to have two people admitted. But this time, the most promising one should be Mu Yuanchun, right?"


    ...


    Young demons were discussing animatedly, all lamenting at the difficulty of the priest trainee test.


    Clearly, it was not an easy thing to become a true priest in the demon race.


    The priest exam was carried out once every ten years. Not passing several dozen times, that was a thousand year''s time.


    Spending a thousand years on one thing but not even reaching the entry level, it could be imagined how great the difficulty of this test was.


    "Eh, a human! Why did a human come to the Priest Temple for?"


    "He went to the registration office. Is it possible that �� he''s going to take part in the priest examination?"


    "Haha, is this human a fool? How can a human possibly refine a demon divine pill?"


    "A Fourth Firmament Divine Lord human was actually not beaten to death after entering the city. This is simply a miracle!"


    ...


    This human was none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who arrived at the Demon God Plain after passing through the Skydemon Mountain Range.


    Ye Yuan inquired about a relatively safe route from Duan Peng they all, and he finally passed through the Skydemon Mountain Range with only scares but no danger.


    However, the Demon God Plain was far too big. Wanting to find White Light''s news was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.


    He heard about the Priest Temple from Dustless there. Hence, he thought of a method, to make use of the Priest Temple''s powerful influence to search for White Light. That was why there was the scene of signing up for the priest examination currently.


    "Senior, I wish to sign up for the priest examination," Ye Yuan said to the registration old man.


    That old man looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look and shook his head as he said, "How can a human participate in the Priest Temple''s assessment? Go to one side. Keep causing trouble and this old man won''t be courteous!"


    Ye Yuan smiled, a vigorous but pure demonic divine essence was released.


    The old man''s expression changed and he said in surprise, "How can you, a human, possibly possess such pure demonic divine essence?"


    Due to physique, the demon race was greatly different from the human race''s divine essence; very easy to distinguish.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior has a half-demon race bloodline, so demonic divine essence is naturally not a problem."


    For Ye Yuan to be able to possess demonic divine essence, it was naturally not because he had a demon race bloodline, but because of his chaos divine essence.


    The old man gave Ye Yuan a glance suspiciously and said, "In that case, you''ve lived in the human race''s territory for a long time? Demon divine pills can''t be refined by hugging Buddha''s leg at the last minute and begging for help! See them? Some people cultivated bitterly for thousands of years and also can''t refine a qualified demon divine pill. You �� best forget about it!"


    The old man was responsible for enrollment, so he naturally had to ensure the initial screening too.


    If any random Tom, Dick, and Harry could take part in the priest test, this test would also be too worthless.


    Ye Yuan naturally saw through the old man''s concern and said with a smile,


    "Senior rest assured. If I don''t pass the test, I''m willing to be punished at will by the Priest Temple!"


    The old man''s face changed slightly, but he heard a cold laughter. "Heh, truly shameless boasting! With your age, even among the human race''s alchemists, you''re also considered very young, right? Demon divine pills and divine pills are two completely different kinds of pill refinement systems. Just like you also want to pass the Priest Temple''s test?"


    Behind Ye Yuan, a young demon looked at him with a disdainful look. It was precisely the Mu Yuanchun everyone spoke of.


    Demon divine pills and divine pills were indeed two different pill refinement systems.


    It was impossible for human alchemists to refine demon divine pills.


    The fiend race''s constitution was similar to the humans. So their pill refining system was also inherited from the humans and did not have much difference.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan could rely on his Alchemy Dao talent when he entered the fiend race back then and rampaged in all directions, causing a stir among the fiend race''s upper echelons.


    But this time, it would not work!


    Even though Ye Yuan was similarly extremely proficient in demonic pills when at the Immortal Grove World.


    After demons stepped into Divine Dao, their constitutions would undergo tremendous change. The refinement of demon divine pills would also naturally be totally different from when they were mortals.


    Even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove could not possibly refine demon divine pills at all because he did not have demonic divine pills.


    It was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan would come and take part in this seemingly very low-level priest trainee examination.


    This time, he came completely harboring the attitude of learning.


    In reality, he was totally clueless about demonic divine pills.


    Of course, Ye Yuan''s horizons were no longer what ordinary alchemists could compare to long ago.


    As the saying went, ''A myriad Great Daos, all led to the same goal.''


    Ye Yuan''s understanding of Alchemy Dao already reached the realm of seeing the essence through phenomenons.


    Even though the refining system of demon divine pills was different, just in terms of pill refinement, the intrinsic nature had similarities.


    Ye Yuan had confidence in being able to get a grasp on it very quickly and obtain the Priest Temple''s recognition.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mu Yuanchun and said coolly, "Does pill refinement strength have anything to do with strength?"


    Mu Yuanchun sneered and said, "Rubbish! Of course it''s related! Alchemy Dao strength comes from the accumulation of time! You don''t even understand such a simple truth and still want to become a temple priest? I''m suspecting now that you''re simply here to cause trouble!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Then I''ll tell you today, your understanding doesn''t work on some people!"

 1743 Burning Paper

    "Hahaha, what an arrogant punk! To dare to say such words at the Priest Temple, where do you place the elders in your mind?" Mu Yuanchun said with a cold laugh.


    The Priest Temple''s elders, each one used countless years to accumulate strength.


    Regardless of whether in the human race or demon race, being an alchemist was an extremely time-consuming profession, this was universally acknowledged.


    But Ye Yuan uttered wild ravings right now!


    These demon race''s young geniuses also pointed and gestured at Ye Yuan one by one, very scornful.


    Not that Ye Yuan was arrogant, but that he wanted to borrow the Priest Temple''s power and influence, so he had to attract the Priest Temple''s high regard.


    How could ordinary geniuses have the capital to speak?


    Since that was the case, then he might as well be more high-profile and let the Priest Temple''s elders see his strength!


    Uh �� Even though he could not talk about strength currently.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Don''t play this kind of word game anymore. Since it''s an assessment, it''s naturally using results to speak."


    The old man responsible for enrollment said in a solemn voice, "Young man, if I find out that you''re toying with the temple, you know the consequences!"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Junior is naturally aware!"


    The old man said, "What''s your name?"


    "Ye Yuan!"


    The old man nodded and threw a wooden plaque to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan caught the wooden plaque and lined up in the last place.


    Among a group of demon race powerhouses, Ye Yuan appeared very different.


    At this time, on the high platform above the temple, three old men appeared in succession, their auras astonishing.


    These three old men were dressed in purple priest robes, five stars embroidered on their chest. They were shockingly five-star priests, also the Priest Temple''s elders!


    The elder in the middle slowly opened his mouth and said, "Kong Lin, start!"


    Kong Lin bowed to give a salute and said, "Yes, Master!"


    Seeing this scene, the demons below were all incredibly envious.


    Kong Lin went in front of the crowd and said in a clear voice, "The priest apprentice examination begins now. First round, fire control! I believe that everyone isn''t foreign to this round. There are three kinds of material papers, made from namely Goldsilk Divine Wood, Purple Fume Divine Incense Wood, Willow Cloud Wood. You all randomly pick one according to your own strength. As long as you don''t burn them down, it''s considered a pass! But I have to warn you guys, the choice of the paper, the elders will pay attention to them. This concerns your resources and status after entering the temple. Therefore, hope that you all bring out your greatest strength and display it for the elders to see! Each person has two chances, start now!"


    These three divine words had different qualities and also different grades. The heat resistance of the paper refined was naturally different.


    Using divine fire to burn paper, the fire-control requirements on the alchemist was exceedingly high.


    A moment of carelessness and it would be burned to ashes.


    One had to know, the terrifying temperature of rank four divine fire could virtually burn rank three martial artists to ashes, let alone a piece of paper as thin as cicada wings.


    This level of test was indeed ingenious, but also very concise and clear, broadening Ye Yuan''s horizons too.


    But fire control was too easy for him.


    Under Kong Lin''s command, those demon race youths started to go up and undergo the assessment one by one. But what they picked were mostly paper made from Goldsilk Divine Wood.


    These three wood types, Goldsilk Divine Wood was the strongest, Willow Cloud Wood the weakest.


    So their choice was naturally the strongest. This way, it was not easy to burn it down.


    Ye Yuan looked at these young geniuses'' fire control and could not help secretly shaking his head.


    Too weak!


    Although the demon race''s alchemy skills formed its own system, same as the fiend race, the demon race was still much more crude compared to the human race.


    In this kind of delicate work, it was still a notch inferior.


    But, these demon race alchemists were clearly much stronger than the fiend race''s.


    "Goodness! Just a little bit more!"


    "Don''t catch on fire! Don''t catch on fire! Goodness me!"


    "Oh my goodness, why did it ignite again? My ten years of hard work are wasted again!"


    ...


    There were hundreds of demon race geniuses in the great hall presently.


    But the vast majority of the people were unable to even complete the Goldsilk Divine Wood''s test.


    However, there were also some decent ones who completed the Goldsilk Divine Wood''s test.


    There were even a few people who completed the Purple Fume Divine Incense Wood''s test!


    "Next, Mu Yuanchun!" Kong Lin shouted.


    Finally, it was Mu Yuanchun''s turn to take the field.


    Mu Yuanchun shot Ye Yuan a proud smile and said, "Punk, open your eyes wider and take a look at this young master''s fire controlling skills!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    Mu Yuanchun felt like his punch landed on cotton and was very depressed.


    He went up and directly came to the Willow Cloud Wood area, immediately causing a stir.


    "My God, Mu Yuanchun actually wants to challenge Willow Cloud Wood. Is his strength already horrifying to this degree?"


    "Heard that last season, Priest Kong Lin challenged the Willow Cloud Wood, it was incredibly astonishing back then!"


    "Heh, what the hell do you know? I heard that Elder Stonefeather already internally decided him to be a personal disciple. If he doesn''t even have this bit of strength, how can he make it as one?"


    ...


    To these young geniuses, the difficulty of the Willow Cloud Wood was extremely high.


    Even some priest apprentices were unable to complete this challenge.


    Those able to challenge successfully were all top geniuses among the demon race''s young alchemists.


    After entering the Priest Temple, they would definitely be valued highly.


    Just like Kong Lin, after he challenged the Willow Cloud Wood, he was taken in as a personal disciple by an elder, and became an official priest several years later!


    One had to know, even if some people passed the test, they were unable to become true priests within several hundred years and were still just priest trainees.


    Everyone held their breaths, looking at Mu Yuanchun.


    Mu Yuanchun was clearly extremely confident. A faint-blue flame flashed out of his palm area, gentle like water.


    That piece of Willow Cloud Wood paper suspended over the flame quietly, not moving a trace.


    The light blue flame was akin to flowing water, slowly spreading below the paper, all the way until it extended to every corner of the paper.


    When those young geniuses saw this scene, each and every one of their eyeballs popped out.


    "What formidable fire control techniques, to actually not have the slightest hint of undulation!"


    "I saw before Kong Lin''s fire controlling technique last season. Mu Yuanchun''s strength is absolutely not beneath his!"


    "No wonder he could be internally decided as a personal disciple, this strength is really not for show."


    ...


    At the seats of honor, the three elders all nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with Mu Yuanchun''s performance.


    Even Ye Yuan also secretly nodded his head.


    This Mu Yuanchun''s fire controlling technique was indeed praiseworthy.


    Very soon, Mu Yuanchun withdrew his palm, the paper floated down onto his palm.


    Kong Lin received it and took a look. Nodding his head, he smiled and said, "Temperature is well-distributed, without a hint of damage, pass! Junior Apprentice Brother Mu, we''ll likely become fellow disciples in the future!"


    Mu Yuanchun bowed respectfully and said, "Yuanchun pays respect to Senior Apprentice Brother Kong Lin!"


    Kong Lin smiled and said, "The two rounds at the back, you have to perform well too, Master is watching from above!"


    Mu Yuanchun said respectfully, "Yes, Senior Apprentice Brother!"


    Clearly, Mu Yuanchun already regarded himself as an elder''s disciple.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being very surprised.


    An empty hole invites wind, it was indeed like so!

 1744 Mortal Grade

    "Saw that, kid? Big talk isn''t boasted! If you can complete the Purple Fume Divine Incense Wood, consider it my loss!"


    After returning, Mu Yuanchun was rather pleased with himself and looked scornfully at Ye Yuan.


    With his strength, passing the test was simply a breeze.


    This assessment was merely a formality for him.


    Kong Lin already said that Mu Yuanchun was already his junior apprentice brother in front of so many people. This was not the treatment that ordinary people could get.


    Hence, Mu Yuanchun was fired up with boundless enthusiasm currently.


    Of course, no one felt that it was improper, and instead cast looks of admiration towards him.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Then you''ll lose for sure."


    The moment Mu Yuanchun heard, he was tickled and said with a sneer, "Really taking yourself to be someone noteworthy! Cocky, continue being cocky! I''ll see how you still be arrogant in a while!"


    Toward this, Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and was disdainful to dispute.


    "Next, Ye Yuan!"


    Finally, it was Ye Yuan''s turn to take the field. Everyone all showed sympathetic looks towards him.


    Were there geniuses among alchemists?


    Yes!


    Mu Yuanchun was a genius!


    But this genius similarly needed the accumulation of a long time.


    For Mu Yuanchun to be able to have his current strength, it was absolutely not achieved overnight, but also through long-term accumulation.


    Hence, what Ye Yuan said about how this kind of understanding would not work on him, everyone rejected it in their hearts.


    One had to know, even a genius like Mu Yuanchun, when he was at Ye Yuan''s age, he also could not possibly pass the Purple Fume Divine Incense Wood''s test.


    As for the Willow Cloud Wood, that was even more impossible.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of Kong Lin. Kong Lin said indifferently, "Pick one yourself."


    The scene earlier, Kong Lin naturally took it into his sights too.


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s remarks, he was naturally disdainful.


    "Can I pick a wood outside of these three types or not?" Ye Yuan did not choose but asked Kong Lin.


    Kong Lin frowned slightly and said, "Messing around! The rules of the priest examination are decided by the temple, how can it be easily changed? I think that you''re deliberately here to cause trouble, right?"


    Seeing this scene, the other examinees all revealed gloating smiles.


    They were already very sure that Ye Yuan was here to cause trouble.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said, "Brother Kong said earlier to display your greatest strength. I feel that these three kinds of wood can''t display my strength."


    The moment Kong Lin heard, he laughed from extreme anger and said, "Is that so? Then what kind of wood can show your strength?"


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    A wood that was easier to ignite than the Willow Cloud Wood, there were naturally many.


    But mortal grade, that was simply an impossible task.


    This guy was being funny, right?


    What kind of concept was mortal grade?


    Even if the most rubbish divine fire revealed an iota of heat, that thing would turn to ashes!


    Using rank four divine fire to burn mortal grade paper, did this guy''s head really have no problem?


    After the shock, mockery came in quick succession.


    Kong Lin finally could not resist erupting and said furiously, "Blind and reckless fool, to dare toy with the Priest Temple!"


    As he said those words, Kong Lin was about to take action to take Ye Yuan down, but then he saw Ye Yuan smiled faintly. Ye Yuan said, "Whether or not I''m messing with the temple, you need to at least wait for me to complete the test before having a final verdict, right? It''s just a matter of a short while. Does Brother Kong not even have this bit of patience?"


    Kong Lin smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "Mortal grade paper, even elders can''t do it, with just the likes of you, a snotty brat?"


    "Heh heh, I said it long ago, this guy is simply here to cause trouble! Senior Apprentice Brother Kong Lin, immediately take him down!" At this time, Mu Yuanchun also spoke up.


    Kong Lin was just about to make a move when the Elder Stonefeather sitting in the middle spoke.


    He said, "Kong Lin, let him try."


    Kong Lin''s face changed and he bowed and said, "Yes, Master!"


    He could not figure out, this punk who was clearly making trouble. So why did his master give Ye Yuan this chance?


    Before long, the servants found a piece of mortal grade blank paper.


    Ye Yuan received it, took a look, and said, "Mortal grade tier 9, uh �� forget it, I''ll make do with it."


    Kong Lin sneered when he saw the situation and said, "Could it be that you still want to use mortal grade tier 1 wood?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you can find it, it''s not impossible too."


    Kong Lin was greatly enraged the moment he heard and said, "Arrogant!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Alchemists need to have a calm mind. Brother Kong is angered so easily. This won''t do!"


    "You! You dare to lecture me?" Kong Lin was already about to rampage.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Dare not, I was just stating a fact. Excuse me, can I start?"


    Kong Lin''s expression changed several times and he said in a solemn voice, "I want to take a look at how you pass the round! Begin!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and tossed the piece of paper upward. Hs palm moving, a cluster of pale-yellow flames immediately rose up, wrapping the piece of paper up.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately dumbfounded with shock.


    Did this guy really know how to control fire?


    Using such a big fire to go and burn a sheet of mortal grade paper, it would become flying ashes upon contact, right?


    Forget about mortal grade, even the Goldsilk Divine Wood could not withstand this kind of burning too!


    When they controlled fire, which one wasn''t watchful and cautious, fearful of producing a bit more fire.


    But Ye Yuan was completely operating without any regard for niceties!


    This kind of fire control, using it to directly deal with the enemy was more like it.


    Refining pills?


    Better forget it!


    Refining pills like this would refine medicinal pills into black charcoal.


    When Kong Lin saw this scene, he could not help smiling coldly and said, "I knew it! Ignorant fool, prepare to suffer the wrath of the temple!"


    Mu Yuanchun even laughed himself into fits and said, "This brat �� This brat is simply here to be a fool, I was successfully amused with him."


    Not just them, the other examinees all guffawed with laughter.


    At this moment, they were incomparably certain that Ye Yuan was here to make trouble.


    Although they did not know what was the goal, his objective of seeking popularity by doing something sensational was achieved.


    However, they did not notice that the eyes of those three elders on the high platform emitted rays of brilliant light, full of incredulity.


    Because being enveloped in flames, the others could not see the appearance of the paper at this time.


    Because no need to think and they also knew that the paper already turned to ashes at this time.


    But Ye Yuan was still putting on a pretense there.


    Kong Lin shouted coldly, "Alright, stop pretending there. Watch this!"


    Kong Lin was just about to make a move to take Ye Yuan down, but then he heard Stonefeather said coldly, "Stop!"


    Everyone was stunned. Kong Lin also revealed a doubtful look and said, "Master, this ��"


    Stonefeather just said coolly, "Carry on watching!"


    With this, they could not laugh anymore.


    It was only for them to see Ye Yuan pull his palm back, and the divine fire dissipated into nothing. A piece of paper drifted down.


    Everyone''s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    "R-Really did it! This mortal grade paper is actually completely unscathed!"


    "This is impossible! I''m so far away and could even feel the temperature of the flames! How can such a weak piece of paper be completely fine?"


    "Could it be that his fire controlling technique is truly transcendent to this kind of degree? To actually be even more impressive than Mu Yuanchun!"

 1745 Demonic Attraction Ar

    The paper was still floating as Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Brother Kong, please look it over!"


    Kong Lin''s expression changed, reaching his hand out and catching the piece of paper.


    The moment it came into his hand, it was actually extremely hot!


    Bang!


    The piece of paper immediately combusted, turning into a cloud of ashes!


    "This �� Critical temperature! How did you do it?" Kong Lin looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment.


    Those present were all professionals, they naturally would not say that Ye Yuan failed because the paper was burned.


    The reason why it burned away was that the paper''s temperature was heated to the critical point by Ye Yuan.


    When Kong Lin received the paper, friction was produced between his palm and paper, making the paper instantly exceed the critical point, that was why it started immolating.


    Combustion and not burning depended on just a touch!


    This level of fire-controlling means was truly inconceivable.


    In the usual assessment, no one dared to play with fire like this, no matter how great his strength!


    Because critical temperature was too difficult to grasp. As long as there was the tiniest hint of not controlling well, the paper would be burned.


    If Ye Yuan used the Willow Cloud Wood to achieve this, even though it was impressive, it would not be inconceivable either.


    But he used a mortal grade paper to achieve this. This was extremely terrifying!


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is nothing difficult. I could already do it when I was 300 years old. Uh, if you can find a piece of mortal grade tier 1 paper, I can display my real strength."


    Everyone was rendered speechless.


    Mortal grade tier 1 could not be found in the Heavenspan World at all.


    There were countless trees in the Skydemon Mountain Range but forget about mortal grade tier 1, even mortal grade tier 5 or tier 6 could not be found at all.


    Want a mortal grade tier 1 tree, one could only go find it in a small world.


    Furthermore, the 300 years old that Ye Yuan said was not this lifetime''s 300 years old, but the previous life''s 300 years old!


    Previous life, when he was still Ji Qingyun, he could already achieve this at 300 years old.


    Now that close to a thousand years had passed, Ye Yuan''s fire controlling technique was absolutely not what a mere mortal grade tier 1 paper could measure anymore.


    But this was already shocking enough!


    On the seats of honor, the three elders also exchanged glances, extremely shocked.


    "Young man, what''s your name?" Stonefeather opened his mouth and asked.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    Stonefeather nodded and said, "Ye Yuan, your fire controlling technique is indeed impressive! Even the few of us old fellows are likely not your match too."


    Someone as powerful as Elder Stonefeather actually took the initiative to admit that he was inferior to such a young man?


    Especially Mu Yuanchun, he wished to find a hole on the ground to tunnel into when he heard this.


    Wasn''t Stonefeather''s words slapping his face?


    Previously, Ye Yuan said that this kind of understanding would not work on some people.


    Now, didn''t it affirm such words?


    Those elders above, which one wasn''t an old monster who lived more than 100 thousand years?


    Their accumulations, ordinary people found it hard to imagine.


    However, Ye Yuan said that he reached this kind of standard when he was 300 years old, was there something more disgraceful than this?


    But Stonefeather''s tone changed and he said, "But refining demon divine pills are different from refining the human race''s divine pills. You have to pass the two rounds of assessments at the back before it''s considered successful."


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Yes, Elder. Ye Yuan won''t let you down."


    Stonefeather nodded his head and said, "Carry on then."


    Only then did Kong Lin recover from the shock and said, "Next, starting the second round, demonic attraction art! People who were eliminated in the first round don''t need to take part anymore."


    A hundred demon powerhouses, more than half were already eliminated in the first round.


    Present, those who remained were merely 30 to 40 people.


    "There are a hundred types of wood chips here, what you have to do is to use the demonic attraction art to glue them together! The more types bound together, the better the results naturally! Those who bind more 25 types and above, pass!" Kong Lin said.


    The so-called demonic attraction art was the foundation skill of the demon race''s alchemy technique.


    The human race''s divine soul was powerful. Furthermore, the secret arts were numerous and they could cultivate the divine soul.


    But the demon race''s talent did not lie in the demonic soul, so their demonic souls were also relatively weak.


    Apart from some minority powerful races, the demonic souls of the majority of the races were inferior to humans.


    Wanting to be like a human alchemist, using soul force to serve as a lubricant for refining medicinal pills, it was beyond their power.


    But the demon race also had an advantage that humans were not equipped with. It was that they were naturally closer to nature.


    The demon race''s demonic divine essence also had more affinity with spirit medicines.


    Hence, they blazed another trail, using demonic divine essence as a substitute for the humans'' soul force to refine medicinal pills.


    This was the cultivation system of the demon race.


    The strength of the demonic attraction art reflected the strength of the demon alchemist to a very large extent.


    All in all, humans based soul force as the principal, divine essence as supplementary. The demon race based demonic divine essence as principal, soul force as supplementary.


    Under Kong Lin''s guidance, the examinees started undergoing the second round.


    Binding wood chips, this test method was similarly very novel.


    Wood chips were not spirit medicines, there would not be too many law fragments complementing each other.


    Wanting to adhere them together as a whole was not an easy matter.


    However, this tested the alchemist''s demonic attraction art even more too.


    Those people taking the test were watchful and cautious, fearful of missing any hint out.


    But their strength could at best only bind together a dozen over kinds of wood chips.


    Any more and it would not work.


    In a corner, Ye Yuan stared at each person''s way of handling without moving his eyes, deducing non-stop in his mind.


    Ye Yuan was totally clueless about the demonic attraction art, but he knew that the demonic attraction art had common aspects with the soul attracting art.


    A burst of faint demonic divine essence flowed in Ye Yuan''s palm, he was currently imitating binding those wood chips.


    Feeling the demonic divine essence undulations, quite a few people looked over sideways.


    When Mu Yuanchun saw this scene, he could not help being stunned.


    "This kid �� doesn''t know the demonic attraction art at all! Hahaha, like I said, this guy is simply a human alchemist, wanting to sneak into the Priest Temple!" Mu Yuanchun said.


    When the rest saw this scene, they immediately perceived something wrong as well.


    "No way, right? His fire controlling art is so incredible, but he actually doesn''t know the demonic attraction art!"


    "Looks like he hasn''t refined demon divine pills before at all!"


    "This guy wouldn''t be thinking of learning and selling on the spot, right? This �� This is also too funny!"


    ...


    The first round, Ye Yuan astonished everyone.


    But this scene currently, subverted everyone''s view of him.


    Perhaps, Ye Yuan was indeed a very formidable human alchemist.


    But he did not even know demonic attraction art. So how could he possibly pass the second round''s test.


    "Elders, this guy is simply clueless about our demon race''s alchemy skills. He probably has malicious intent and wants to sneak into our Priest Temple! Elders please summarily execute him on the spot!" Mu Yuanchun clasped his hands and pleaded.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Mu Yuanchun. He was already immersed in it.


    Those examinees'' strengths were not considered strong, but Ye Yuan continuously learned from others'' strong points while overcoming the weak points in his mind, deducing, and perfecting. His strength was currently advancing by leaps and bounds.


    Stonefeather''s gaze was akin to a torch, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan, and said coolly, "This child isn''t an ordinary person. Let him give it a try!"

 1746 Learning and Doing on the Spo

    Mu Yuanchun was so depressed!


    This guy was clearly clueless about the demon race''s alchemy techniques, so why did the elder still let him carry on?


    How could he know that what Stonefeather saw was completely different from what he saw!


    The things he saw were Ye Yuan''s crudeness and ignorance.


    But what Stonefeather saw was Ye Yuan''s improvement!


    Actually, since after the first round, he had been paying attention to Ye Yuan all along.


    When the second round started, from when the first person took the field, Ye Yuan''s gaze never left his body before.


    From the initial-most completely ignorance to the later slightly rustiness.


    This improvement was truly too astonishing.


    Stonefeather was an expert in this area, so how amazing was his vision?


    Ye Yuan''s improvement simply made people sigh with wonder!


    One had to know, prior to this, he was still a complete and utter newbie.


    Stonefeather very much wanted to see to what extent Ye Yuan could reach when he enter the field.


    The examinees went up one by one, but those who could pass the test could be counted on one hand.


    Of course, there were also a few with decent strength who bound together 30 over kinds of wood.


    And these people''s achievements, the inspiration it gave Ye Yuan was naturally greater.


    Very soon, it was Mu Yuanchun''s turn to take the stage. He shot the very engrossed Ye Yuan a glance, his expression showing disdain.


    The moment he made his move, Mu Yuanchun amazed the audience.


    It was only for them to see him move like lightning, using an extremely short time to bind together more than a dozen types of wood.


    25 types were naturally not his goal.


    "So impressive, looking at him, he can at least bind together more than 40 kinds, right?"


    "Even though the first round''s limelight was snatched by that punk, Mu Yuanchun''s strength is really very strong!"


    "That kid is simply a layman regarding demon divine pills. Scared me until I even thought that I encountered a great alchemist just now!"


    ...


    Mu Yuanchun''s demonic attraction art was clearly very brilliant, more than a notch stronger than the others.


    These people''s gazes were all attracted by Mu Yuanchun. No one noticed that the eyes of the Ye Yuan in a corner became brighter and brighter.


    "45!"


    "46!"


    ...


    "50!"


    "51! My God, he finally failed!"


    "This number already surpassed even Priest Kong Lin''s!"


    The further back, everyone started to help Mu Yuanchun count.


    Finally, after Mu Yuanchun fused 51 wood chips, it collapsed.


    But the number of 51 types of wood chips still let Mu Yuanchun obtain extremely high praises.


    While Mu Yuanchun was actually four more than him!


    Stonefeather secretly nodded his head. Since he internally decided on Mu Yuanchun, his strength naturally left no room for doubt.


    If he could not even do this, he also would not be fit to be his personal disciple anymore.


    Hearing everyone''s sigh of admiration, the confidence that Mu Yuanchun had just lost returned once more.


    Since many people were eliminated in the middle, the next one was Ye Yuan''s turn.


    Mu Yuanchun smiled and said, "Our layman is going to take the field. Let''s see how many types of wood chips he can fuse together? Why doesn''t everyone make a guess."


    The moment these words came out, everyone immediately felt like they were injected with stimulants.


    "I guess that it''s at most no more than 10 types!"


    "10 types? Are your eyes blind? Just the likes of him can fuse 10 types? I guess at most five types!"


    "Pooh! He''s totally clueless, alright? I guess not even one!"


    ...


    Hearing everyone''s discussion, Mu Yuanchun had an amused look.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Each and every one of you, prepare your faces, I''ll come and slap them one by one in a while!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan walked up.


    Different from the natural smoothness in the past, this time, he appeared rather cautious and wary.


    After all, it was his first time using a demonic attraction art.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence slowly flowed out, drawing out the wood chip in the first box.


    That wood chip trembled shakily as if it could drop down at any time.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s demonic attraction art appeared very stiff. One look and it was new until he could not be any more newer of a novice.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help bursting into laughter.


    "Haha, are you hitting our faces like this? Come on, my face is extended out, slap it!"


    "Really ridiculous! Do you really think that learning and doing on the spot, you can learn our demon race''s demonic attraction art?"


    "You''re also looking down on our demon race''s alchemy technique too much! If you can learn with one glance, then wouldn''t our thousands of years of bitter cultivation become a joke?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan''s appearance immediately drew a burst of ridicule.


    But toward this, he already could not hear it long ago.


    His entire mind was currently placed on controlling the demonic divine essence.


    Imitating and deducing was one thing, truly handling it was another thing.


    The moment he started, he was still a little too unfamiliar.


    However, Ye Yuan''s soul attracting art had long already reached its peak.


    Ever since awakening the dragon soul, his twin divine souls were several times stronger than ordinary martial artists. His soul force was already incomparably boundless.


    Hence, ever since after ascending to Divine Dao, he no longer worried about soul force anymore.


    And this was also his guarantee for being able to refine high-level medicinal pills.


    Demonic attraction art, even though it was Ye Yuan''s first time coming into contact with it, with the soul attracting art as the strategically advantageous position, he was absolutely not slow in getting started.


    Sure enough, under Ye Yuan''s efforts, he finally drew out the wood chip in the second box and fused them together.


    The first fusion, the difficulty was the lowest.


    But as the number increased, the difficulty of merging would soar exponentially.


    "Heh, the first one is so strenuous, I think he can at most fuse three." Mu Yuanchun said with a cold laugh.


    "Clearly a novice, yet still want to posture. Got struck by lightning now, right?"


    "Just this bit of strength, actually still want to smack our faces. I really don''t know where his confidence came from."


    The moment Mu Yuanchun said this, everyone immediately concurred.


    Completing the first fusion, Ye Yuan finally found some feel.


    His control of demonic divine essence also finally became a little smoother.


    Hence, he started fusing the third type of wood chip.


    This time, it seemed to be a little easier than last time.


    Following that, fourth type, fifth type, sixth type ��


    Everyone''s faces started to change.


    What was this?


    Logically speaking, the greater the number of fused wood chips, the greater the difficulty!


    To a novice, this kind of difficulty was magnified infinitely.


    But why did Ye Yuan give a feeling of understanding better and becoming more mellow?


    This was too illogical!


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan fused more than a dozen types of wood chips. Furthermore, his speed seemed to be getting faster and faster.


    Above, the three elders'' eyes gradually became brilliant.


    The three of them exchanged glances, wishing to lift their heads to the sky and burst into laughter.


    Such a terrifying genius was simply hard to encounter in a lifetime.


    This kind of comprehension ability was simply terrifying to the extreme.


    Mu Yuanchun''s expression became extremely ugly and he muttered, "Impossible! Impossible! He''s clearly a novice who doesn''t know the demonic attraction art at all, so how can he possibly fuse so many wood chips? Could it be that he did it on purpose just now? Actually, he knows the demonic attraction art? This brat is full of schemes!"

 1747 Acted Too Realistically

    "52! Surpassed! Surpassed!"


    "53!"


    ...


    At the back, each time Ye Yuan fused a type of wood, everyone counted along in unison.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan surpassed Mu Yuanchun''s 51 types.


    But it was not over!


    "98!"


    "99!"


    "100!"


    "Really amazing! This guy was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, right?"


    "My face was slapped so freaking swollen!"


    "This guy definitely did it on purpose just now!"


    "You look at him, still looking dissatisfied about it. This �� This is too infuriating!"


    ...


    Back then, when Ye Yuan fused the last type of wood, the field immediately burst into an uproar.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually fused all of the 100 types of wood!


    Extremely few people were able to complete this in the priest examination.


    Those able to complete it were at least geniuses that appeared once every 100 thousand years!


    If say Ye Yuan did not do it on purpose before, they would not believe even if beaten to death.


    Ye Yuan was indeed not satisfied yet. He got the hang of it more and more toward the back and already could not stop.


    100 types of wood were not his limit yet.


    Kong Lin looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, "Is pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger very interesting?"


    Mu Yuanchun also spoke up, "Strength is clearly uncommon, yet want to feign an appearance of not knowing anything, toying with everyone''s feelings! Malicious motives!"


    The moment these two people spoke up, the others also concurred with it, clearly very unhappy with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said with a helpless look, "Regardless whether you all believe or not, it''s really my first time using the demonic attraction art!"


    Kong Lin sneered and said, "First time? Do you still take us to be fools? Fusing 100 types of wood, in the history of our Tyrant Origin Imperial City''s Priest Temple, there''s merely only two able to accomplish it. You''re telling me that it''s your first time using the demonic attraction art?"


    Mu Yuanchun gave a cold snort and said to the three elders, "Three elders, this person''s strength is clearly uncommon, yet pretend that he doesn''t know anything! In my view, he''s intentionally here to humiliate the temple!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled and said with a smile, "Hey, you''re retarded, right? I, a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord, specially came to Tyrant Origin Imperial City from afar to deliver myself to death? If you''re retarded, don''t simply think that others are as retarded as you, alright?"


    Mu Yuanchun''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Who knows what plan you have in mind. Either way, you don''t have good intentions!"


    The third round was genuinely refining demon divine pills.


    Stonefeather speaking up, even though Kong Lin and the rest were unhappy, they did not dare have the slightest bit of defiance.


    Kong Lin''s expression was very ugly as he said, "The third round, pill refinement. The demon divine pill tested this time is the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill, middle-grade as pass!"


    Finished announcing, the remaining examinees were all preparing to refine the pill. Ye Yuan suddenly cupped his fists at Stonefeather and said, "Elder, this �� can I take a look at the pill formula?"


    The demon race''s pill formulas, Ye Yuan had heard before some names, but really did not have pill formulas.


    Demon divine pills were an independent pill refining system. Immortal Grove could not refine at all, he naturally would not go and deliberately go collect pill formulas too.


    The moment Kong Lin heard, he smiled coldly and said, "What the Priest Temple tests are all pill formulas made open to the public. You could use the demonic attraction art to such an extent. So how could you not even know the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill''s pill formula?"


    The words that Ye Yuan said right now, they did not believe it at all.


    Clearly ridiculously impressive, and yet want to pretend to not know anything, was it very fun?


    Feigning ignorance previously, forget it. But now, everyone already knew and you were still pretending!


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "But I really don''t know!"


    "Let him take a look. However, the assessment time is only six hours. You have to grasp it well." Stonefeather said coolly.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was overjoyed and said with clasped hands, "Many thanks, Elder."


    Pretending!


    Look at you pretending!


    What''s with Elder today?


    This punk is clearly feigning ignorance, yet, Elder still want to play along with him!


    Helplessly, Kong Lin could only hand the pill formula over to Ye Yuan.


    The Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill was an initial-stage rank four demon divine pill. To talk about the difficulty, it was roughly level two.


    One should not judge at how level two difficulty was not high. Using it as an entry-level examination, the difficulty was pretty high.


    In the human race, as long as one stepped into Divine Lord Realm and could refine the simplest rank four divine pill, they would be considered Four-star Alchemy Gods.


    But in the Priest Temple, this threshold clearly would not cut it.


    To a novice, wanting to refine a level two difficulty rank four demon divine pill as soon as they came up, it was virtually a task that was impossible to complete.


    Forget about a novice, even for these demons participating in the assessment, it was absolutely not an easy thing too.


    Moreover, the lowest requirement to pass the test was even middle-grade!


    Just this requirement barred the vast majority of people outside the front door of the Priest Temple.


    Ye Yuan took the pill formula, akin to obtaining a priceless treasure, and started studying it.


    He deduced the pill formula as he observed the others refining pills, an appearance as if absorbed in thought.


    Level two difficulty rank four demon divine pill, the difficulty was not too high to him. Deducing it was also not considered too troublesome.


    But the demon divine pill was indeed a brand new domain to Ye Yuan.


    When Kong Lin saw Ye Yuan''s intoxicated appearance, he had a strange expression on his face.


    He seriously could not resist anymore and grumbled to Stonefeather, "Master, this kid can act too well. Why do you keep on helping him?"


    Stonefeather gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Act? Hur hur, then his acting is too realistic!"


    Kong Lin''s expression changed and he said, "Master''s meaning is that it''s really his first time coming into contact with demon divine pills? How is this possible? First time using the demonic attraction art and he fused 100 types of wood, is there really someone capable of accomplishing this kind of thing?"


    Stonefeather smiled and said, "Before today, this old man didn''t believe either. But now, this old man saw it with my own eyes. I have no choice but to believe it! This child''s Alchemy Dao talent is truly terrifying!"


    Kong Lin''s pupils constricted slightly, his eyes revealing immense shock.


    He was seriously unable to imagine what kind of talent could fuse 100 types of wood the first time using the demonic attraction art.


    This was simply inconceivable.


    In a twinkle, more than four hours passed.


    Mu Yuanchun''s medicinal pills were finally refined successfully!


    Suddenly, he felt a scorching gaze. Lifting his head and looking over, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently staring straight at him.


    Looking again, Ye Yuan actually had not started refining the pill yet!


    Mu Yuanchun was first stunned, then immediately smiled coldly and said, "You watched me refine the pill until now?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with a nod, "Your strength is decent, but the process of refining pills missed out too much. Basic skills are also not too solid. What a pity."


    He watched all the way until now. This review was also from the bottom of his heart and did not have the intention of mocking.


    The moment Mu Yuanchun heard, his expression could not help turning sullen and he said with a cold smile, "If you have the time to review me, better to hurry up and start refining the pill! Heh, less than two hours is remaining, I want to see how you pass the test!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "One hour is enough. No rush, no rush."

 1748 Flustered Refinemen

    "One hour to refine a rank four demon divine pill. You''re also not afraid of blowing a hole in the sky with your bragging!" Mu Yuanchun said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Whether or not it''s boasting, you''ll know in a while. Uh, but I still have to thank you, your pill refinement earlier gave me quite a bit of reference."


    Mu Yuanchun''s strength stood out among this group of people.


    His pill refinement was naturally worth learning.


    Ye Yuan deduced the pill formula and compared his pill refinement with the other people''s pill refinement, and indeed benefited a great deal.


    When Mu Yuanchun heard, his face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "Don''t give me that! You aren''t going to say again that it''s your first time refining a demon divine pill, right?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Really smart, what I wanted to say was all said by you."


    Mu Yuanchun said with a cold smile, "Do you think that I''d believe it?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Believing or not is up to you, what has it got to do with me? I''m going to start refining the pill."


    The moment he started refining, Ye Yuan''s entire person immediately entered a fully engrossed state.


    The preparation work at the beginning, Ye Yuan completed it naturally and smoothly, with the air of a master.


    Even the eyes of those three people above revealed looks of astonishment.


    When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Ye Yuan''s handling, even they, these Five-star priests, also prostrated in admiration.


    When Mu Yuanchun saw this scene, his expression was incomparably ugly.


    He had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan''s talent was too strong!


    Whatever accumulation of time, this sort of words, was simply like farting when placed on Ye Yuan.


    "Still say whatever first time! One look and it''s a veteran who''s well-seasoned. Really take us to be three-year-old kids?" Mu Yuanchun said with a cold snort.


    "It''s indeed his first time refining demon divine pills!"


    Kong Lin arrived by Mu Yuanchun''s side at goodness knows when, looking at Ye Yuan with a serious look as he said those words.


    Mu Yuanchun''s expression changed and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Kong, this �� How is this possible?"


    Kong Lin said, "It''s what Master said, so definitely won''t be wrong! He must be an extremely formidable alchemist in the human race, but he also has a demon race bloodline. So he got started extremely quickly. It''s just that his talent �� is really too terrifying!"


    Mu Yuanchun''s gaze revealed a look of astonishment, looking at Ye Yuan with immense shock.


    At this time, Ye Yuan already started refining the pill. It was just that his current performance was akin to two different people from just now.


    Even though his demonic attraction art improved extremely fast, truly applying it to pill refinement was another matter altogether.


    It was inevitable that he was unfamiliar.


    Refining divine pills, the consumption of soul force was tremendous.


    But refining demon divine pills had extremely high requirements on physical strength.


    If not for Ye Yuan having long reached middle-stage fourth transformation, he would really have bitten off more than he could chew.


    Ye Yuan discovered that using the demonic attraction art to fuse medicinal pills, the technique was a hundred times more complicated than the soul attracting art.


    Each segment needed to expend tremendous physical strength.


    Compared to really refining pills, fusing wood chips earlier was simply a child''s play.


    However, while Ye Yuan''s hands and feet were thrown into confusion, it was completely not the case in other people''s eyes.


    Regardless of whether it was Kong Lin or Mu Yuanchun, they were totally dumbstruck with amazement.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, I''m still unable to believe that it''s actually this guy''s first time refining a demon divine pill!" Mu Yuanchun gritted his teeth and said.


    Kong Lin smiled bitterly and said, "How can I believe it too? But you look at his refining method, it''s clearly incomparably unfamiliar. But even so, it still gives you a feeling of pleasing both the eyes and the heart. This kind of feeling is seriously too contradictory."


    Mu Yuanchun felt that his confidence suffered a tremendous blow. If a person''s first time coming into contact with demon divine pills could do it to this extent, then wouldn''t his many years of hard work become a joke?


    Of course, he would not think that for Ye Yuan to be able to have his present accomplishments, apart from talent, what he put in was a hundred times, even a thousand times of his!


    Mu Yuanchun said in a solemn voice, "Senior Apprentice Brother Kong, then in your view, what grade of Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill can he refine?"


    Kong Lin shook his head and said, "That''s hard to say! His technique is indeed very unfamiliar, one look and it''s a novice''s skill. However, he also rarely makes mistakes. I reckon it makes sense that there shouldn''t be a problem."


    Mu Yuanchun heaved a sigh in relief and muttered under his breath, "Just middle-grade huh �� then that''s still alright."


    The moment one hour was up, Ye Yuan indeed finished packing up, leaving everyone watching dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    Ye Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and let out a sigh of relief as he said, "Haven''t been so flustered in so long!"


    Flustered ��


    When the surrounding demons heard Ye Yuan''s words, they wished to kick his face.


    That is called flustered?


    You take a look at the others first, alright?


    After the second round, there were merely less than 20 people remaining.


    And these people were currently all covered in sweat, at a loss on what to do, fearful of making the slightest mistake.


    This is called being flustered, okay?!


    These people, each and every one of them had refined pills for close to six hours.


    You freaking finished in an hour and was still complaining about being tired here. Was there such a need?


    After Ye Yuan finished refining, six hours were up very quickly.


    Quite a number of people had not finished refining yet. Each and every one of them was extremely dispirited.


    Finally managed to persist till the third round, but could not finish on time.


    Actually, with their strength, even if they completed it, it was likely that they would fail to reach the requirement of middle-grade too.


    Kong Lin started examining the pills. The vast majority of those successfully refined ones were all low-grade medicinal pills.


    But apart from Mu Yuanchun, there was actually still one person who refined a middle-grade Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill, passing the examination.


    "Hahaha! My thousand over years was finally not in vain! I finally got my break!"


    Knowing that he passed the test, that demon youth started laughing excitedly, almost mad.


    Clearly, these thousand over years, he had been under too much pressure.


    When the others saw him, they were envious and also helpless.


    Kong Lin frowned and said, "Shouting and wrangling in front of elders, where lies the sense of propriety?"


    That demon youth could not help choking when he heard that and immediately became sombre.


    Even though he passed the test, he belonged to the lowest standing priest trainees in the Priest Temple.


    While Kong Lin was a true priest!


    Reaching Mu Yuanchun, passing the test was naturally something within expectations.


    "High-grade, not bad! Mu Yuanchun passes the test!" Kong Lin said with a slight smile.


    Mu Yuanchun smiled and said, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Kong!"


    His view was the same as Kong Lin''s. Even though Ye Yuan was prodigious, in this last round, it was impossible to beat him.


    That kind of unfamiliar technique, being able to refine middle-grade was already very heaven-defying.


    High-grade was virtually without possibility!


    The last one, it was Ye Yuan''s turn.


    After opening the furnace, Kong Lin could not help choking as he cried out, "S-Superior-grade! This is impossible!"


    Kong Lin was instantly flustered. Even though there had already been too many instances of shock previously, it was far from as intense as this time.


    Ye Yuan''s refining technique looked really very clumsy.


    But such a clumsy technique, he actually refined a superior-grade demon divine pill!


    One had to know, he already became a true priest now. Refining the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill, he might not be able to reach superior-grade stably as well.


    Ye Yuan''s first refinement and he could refine a superior-grade Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill?

 1749 Priest Apprentice

    "It''s actually superior-grade, Lord Priest''s strength is also merely thus, right?"


    "Lord Kong Lin said that this is his first time refining, I �� I still don''t believe it."


    "Yeah, too fake! We''ve cultivated for a thousand years and can''t even refine a low-grade. He can refine superior-grade on his first try, don''t beat people down like this."


    ...


    Superior-grade was simply a disgrace to the current Ye Yuan.


    Ever since entering the Dao Realm, there was virtually nothing below divine-grade when he refined medicinal pills.


    Superior-grade medicinal pills, even if Ye Yuan closed his eyes, he could not refine it either.


    But this was totally not the case in other people''s eyes.


    Everyone already knew that it was really Ye Yuan''s first time refining a demon divine pill, but he actually refined a superior-grade!


    This talent truly made people despair.


    The muscles on Mu Yuanchun''s face were twitching. He thought that he could overpower Ye Yuan in pill refinement, did not expect that he was still beaten.


    High-grade versus superior-grade, utter defeat!


    To alchemists, high-grade was easy to refine, superior-grade was hard to find.


    To ordinary alchemists, wanting to refine superior-grade and above medicinal pills would depend on luck.


    But it was just Ye Yuan''s first time!


    "Heh, looks like I passed the test," Ye Yuan said with a look of relief.


    Passing the test was naturally not worth him being happy. But he knew that he had already successfully attracted the attention of these elders.


    Stonefeather nodded and said, "Very soon, the examination this time, Ye Yuan, Mu Yuanchun, and Gu Hong, three people passed, becoming my Tyrant Origin Imperial City''s Priest Temple''s priest apprentices. The others still have to work harder, my Priest Temple''s front door is always open for you all."


    Even though the others were helpless, they could only accept reality.


    This Priest Temple''s examination was really not that easy to pass.


    After everyone dispersed, Stonefeather said to Kong Lin, "Kong Lin, you bring Yuanchun and Gu Hong to go settle down. Ye Yuan, stay behind first. After you settle them down, come over again."


    Kong Lin was surprised in his heart but still answered, "Yes!"


    Mu Yuanchun''s expression changed slightly, incomparably vexed in his heart.


    Originally, this glory should have belonged to him.


    Now, the limelight was all snatched by Ye Yuan.


    After the three people left, Stonefeather look at Ye Yuan and said with a solemn expression, "Ye Yuan, this seat wants to take a look at your standard when refining divine pills!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, Elder!"


    Since he wanted to show his strength, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hiding.


    When he finished refining, he discovered that Stonefeather three people used extremely shocked gazes to look at him, as if they were looking at a freak.


    Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao strength had long become a household name in the lands of Southridge.


    But in this distant Demon Divine Region, no one had witnessed it before.


    So the moment he took action, it rendered the three great Five-star priests dumbfounded with amazement.


    "No wonder! No wonder you could get started so quickly! Turns out that your Alchemy Dao strength has already reached such a level!" Stonefeather exclaimed.


    "At a young age, Alchemy Dao actually already reached the realm of grandmaster, truly inconceivable!" Another elder marveled at this refinement.


    The three of them naturally saw through long ago that Ye Yuan''s strength was extraordinary, but they did not expect that Ye Yuan''s strength was actually so dreadful.


    Even if the three of them were Five-star priests, there was also completely no way of comparing them with Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Three elders are too kind, Ye Yuan is utterly clueless about demon divine pills, but yearns for it. For this, that''s why I came to the Demon Divine Region from afar. It''s in order to learn the demon divine pills'' refining method from seniors!"


    Stonefeather nodded his head and said, "Alright, you stay behind first and learn together with the other priest apprentices."


    Ye Yuan said, "Yes, Elder!"


    After Ye Yuan left, the three people''s expressions became solemn.


    "Elder Stonefeather, what do you think?" The one talking was called Ku Mu.


    The other elder, Ni Kun, said, "Elder Stonefeather, you''re also too weak and irresolute like this. Even though this boy possesses demon race bloodline, he stayed in the human territories for a long time and likely harbors evil designs. Wouldn''t directly killing him deal with it?"


    Stonefeather mused for a moment and said, "Killing can naturally deal with it once and for all. But what benefit is there for us? Compared to the humans, the demon race''s alchemic talents are far too few! With this child''s talent, if he can be used by us, he''ll definitely be a top powerhouse of the demon race in the future! What''s important or not, don''t you all have a score in your hearts?"


    The moment these words came out, the other two elders fell into silence.


    Compared to the human race, the demon race had indeed fallen far behind in alchemy.


    This was decided by talent, the demon race''s alchemists also had no way around this.


    The human race was indeed more than several times stronger than the demon race in terms of this kind of meticulous handling.


    And this also determined the quality of the medicinal pills.


    Now, a Ye Yuan whose talent was strong until it made people''s hair stand on end suddenly appearing, how could Stonefeather not be moved?


    "But how can you ensure that he''ll be used by us? Don''t you forget, it''s his first time refining demon divine pills, which is also to say that he has always been living in the human territories!" Ni Kun suddenly said.


    Stonefeather nodded and said, "In my view, he definitely didn''t come to the Demon Divine Region for whatever seeking knowledge. At least, it''s not just in order to pursue studies, he definitely has other goals! However, we''d better report this matter to the head priest and let him decide."


    The other two naturally did not have objections and nodded in response.


    ...


    Ye Yuan naturally did not count on Stonefeather believing his words. Whatever admiring demon divine pills this sort of words, bluffing children was more like it.


    Before he came, he already considered all of the dangers.


    The situation of the demon race''s priests, Ye Yuan was also very clear of it.


    Hence, he changed his former style, displaying his talent without the slightest hesitation, in order to make the temple value him highly.


    Clearly, his goal was achieved.


    Kong Lin brought Ye Yuan to a large building in the temple''s backyard and said, "This place is the priest apprentices'' residence. You just entered the temple and belong to a low-level priest apprentice. This is your priest apprentice attire. I believe that you''re also aware, the Priest Temple doesn''t raise trash. So all kinds of resources that you require need to be obtained using contribution points."


    Ye Yuan received the priest apprentice attire and said with a smile, "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Kong!"


    Kong Lin nodded slightly, turned around, and left.


    He was actually very puzzled in his heart. With the talent that Ye Yuan displayed, he even thought that the three elders would take him in as a personal disciple.


    But looking at it now, they did not.


    Stonefeather even had him bring Ye Yuan over and did not have other instructions.


    Which was also to say that Master wanted him to run his own course?


    Stonefeather''s thoughts, he could not figure it out. So he brought Ye Yuan over according to the normal procedure.


    "Heh, so what if talent is great? I want to see how many days you can stay here," Kong Lin said with a cold smile.


    He was the Priest Temple''s youngest priest but had his face smacked everywhere today. How could he not have any grievance in his heart?


    Since the elders did not take Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple, they were likely guarded against him.


    Then, letting him suffer some hardship, or even letting him get lost himself did not have anything wrong with it.


    There were many old foxes among priest apprentices. Ye Yuan definitely could not get any benefits here.


    After all, no matter how high Ye Yuan''s talent was, he was also just a Fourth Firmament Divine Lord.

 1750 Sky Character No. 6 Room

    "Eh, a newcomer is here. My God! Arranging him to stay in the Sky Character No. 6 Room, how big a grudge is there against him?!"


    "The last time a kid entered the Sky Character No. 6 Room, his entire person was burned to black charcoal the next day, crying that he wanted to go home. It tickled us badly."


    "Heh heh, there''s a good show to watch again. Come, let''s go take a look."


    ...


    Walking into the room, three gazes shot over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at them and said with a slight smile, "How do you do? I''m new here. I''m called Ye Yuan."


    No one answered him. Their eyes all were very unfriendly.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not mind either and walked to a vacant spot on his own.


    At this time, a burly man sitting on the bed spoke up.


    "Who permitted you to sleep there?"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard and said, "Not sleeping here, where do I sleep?"


    The burly man nudged his mouth, pointing outside the door, and said, "At the corridor!"


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart, these few guys were clearly taking him down a notch.


    But how could he, Ye Yuan, be so easy to bully?


    He nodded his head and said, "There? Indeed pretty good!"


    When the burly man saw that Ye Yuan was so ''sensible'', he grinned and said, "Since you know that it''s pretty good, why haven''t you scrammed over yet? This dormitory, Senior Apprentice Brother Hu Feng has the final say. Only when he allows you to come in can you come in."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned to the lazy young man lying on the bed.


    Judging from his outfit, he should be a high-level priest apprentice of the temple.


    The Priest Temple recruited priest apprentices once every ten years. Even though the people who passed each time were very few, over the years, there were still quite a few priest trainees.


    According to the Priest Temple''s rules, only those who passed the priest test within a thousand years could stay in the temple.


    As for those who kept failing the Priest Temple, they would be assigned to posts in various major capital cities or other places.


    All in all, they could not stay in the temple anymore.


    This Hu Feng was likely a veteran here.


    Hearing the burly man''s words, Ye Yuan said coolly, "So nice, Senior Brother better go and stay there. This little brother is new here and had best be inconvenienced a bit, it''s better to stay inside."


    When Hu Feng heard Ye Yuan''s words, a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    At this time, quite a few people already gathered around outside. Seeing this scene, each and every one of them was extremely excited.


    "Ha, this kid is indeed a hothead. Tie Zhao''s hot-temper is about to explode right away, right?"


    That burly man called Tie Zhao froze when he heard that and said in a great rage, "A junior priest apprentice who just entered dared to mess with me? Heh, not showing you some colors, you won''t know how deep the temple''s waters are!"


    Done talking, the burly man''s palm urged. A cluster of dark blue flames turned into a fire snake, shooting over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly in his heart. This fellow really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, to actually play fire in front of his ancestor who was an expert on fire.


    Wasn''t this looking for abuse?


    It was only to see Ye Yuan casually grab. That fire snake was directly caught in his palm.


    Ye Yuan flipped his palm, that fire snake jumped with incomparable joy.


    It was as if this divine fire was his own.


    Hu Feng''s originally slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes seemingly looking shock.


    Tie Zhao''s fire controlling technique, he was very clear. Ordinary people were not his match at all.


    Now, it was actually easily resolved by this kid.


    Tie Zhao himself opened his eyes wide, disbelief written all over his face.


    Ye Yuan casually grabbed and he lost control of the divine fire!


    "Merely thus!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Boss, this punk isn''t simple!" Tie Zhao said solemnly.


    Hu Feng snorted coldly and said, "Entering the Sky Character No. 6 Room, even a dragon has to coil for me! Attack!"


    With a word of command, three fire dragons split into three directions, flying towards Ye Yuan in unison. The temperature in the room suddenly rose.


    Especially Hu Feng, his fire controlling technique was truly impressive. The fire dragon was clearly much stronger than the other two.


    Ye Yuan''s face changed, both hands rapidly forming seals, and actually barely blocked the three fire dragons one-on-three.


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s strained appearance, Hu Feng smiled coldly and said, "I thought that you had three heads and six arms, aren''t you still submitting obediently? Punk, I changed my mind, tonight, you''re sleeping in the latrine!"


    Tie Zhao laughed loudly and said, "Brat, to dare provoke Boss Hu, you''re really asking for a beating! But to be able to force Boss Hu to personally take action, you can be sufficiently proud."


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and changed to a relaxed appearance as he said, "I gave way to you guys, so don''t take it seriously. This latrine, you guys had better go sleep yourself there."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s fingers moved rapidly. The three fire dragons actually turned the spearhead and flew toward their owners!


    Hu Feng three people were currently being pleased with themselves. Seeing this scene, their faces could not help changing drastically.


    Want to run, but it was already too late.


    Bang!


    Three figures became three black charcoals.


    The three people were pitch-black from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes still blinking.


    The residual head had yet to dissipate. Smoke kept curling on top of the three people''s heads, like whole roast ducks.


    "How is this possible? Senior Apprentice Brother Hu Feng actually lost in a fire battle!"


    "More than just lost, their own divine fires were actually reverse-controlled by people!"


    "Who on earth is this brat, one-versus-three and he actually completely won the other party!"


    ...


    A wave of exclamations rose outside the house, being dumbstruck with astonishment by this scene before their eyes.


    Hu Feng''s fire controlling technique was ranked at the top among all of the priest apprentices.


    Today, he actually lost to a kid who just entered!


    "Pffft!"


    Hu Feng spat out a mouthful of smoke and bellowed, "Attack for me, shred this punk!"


    Ye Yuan did not deal a heavy blow. He just put the three into a sorry state, burning all of their hair from head to toe.


    At this time, Hu Feng was already unbelievably furious.


    With an order, the three people pounced over as ferocious as tigers and wolves.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said coolly, "Can''t fight with fire and want to use force? A pity, you guys miscalculated!"


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    It was only to hear three loud noises. Three figures shot back in reverse, colliding until the entire house was in a mess.


    With this, everyone was stupefied.


    These three people, Hu Feng was late-stage rank four, while the other two were both peak middle-stage rank four.


    Such a line-up actually could not even receive a move from Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan looked at the three people indifferently and said, "The three of you know what to do?"


    "G-Got it! We �� We''ll sleep in the latrine!" Hu Feng wailed.


    His face was pitch-black, unable to see his expression.


    But no need to see and one would also know that his current expression must be very ugly.


    "Know and you''re still not moving? Do you want me to send you over?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    "Yes, yes, yes!"


    The three people said in unison and scrambled out of the door, and really ran over in the direction of the latrine.


    Seeing these three people''s wretched back views, everyone was stupefied.


    "Goodness me, I guessed the beginning but didn''t guess the ending."


    "Who could have thought that the overbearing Hu Feng would actually have this day?"


    "This newcomer is so formidable! Regardless of whether alchemy or martial arts, it''s completely crushing!"

 1751 Gaining Something Without Risking Anything

    "Did you hear? A new-arrival low-level apprentice dispatched Hu Feng and another two people to spend the night in the latrine the moment he came."


    "Real or fake? A newcomer is so impressive?"


    "Heh, don''t you think it''s incredible? Competing in fire control, three people added up were not his match. Competing in combat strength, three people added up were similarly not his match."


    "It''s nonsense, isn''t it? These three added together, there are few who dare to provoke among priest apprentices!"


    "Heh, you go to the latrine and take a look at the three of their miserable appearances, and you would know. They are still there right now!"


    ...


    The news of Ye Yuan beating up Hu Feng three people spread throughout the entire trainee area very quickly.


    But he himself did not have any awareness and slept beautifully, then headed to the Tianlu Pavilion.


    Tianlu Pavilion was the place where the Priest Temple stored classics, pill formulas, pill refining techniques, fire controlling arts, as well as basic medicinal theory, etc; everything that one could wish for.


    Since Ye Yuan came to the Priest Temple, he naturally would not give up on the chance to learn the demon race''s alchemy skills.


    With his temperament, he naturally started learning from the most basic stuff.


    Ye Yuan was clearly, those things that he secretly learned in the priest apprentice examination, were all relied on his powerful Alchemy Dao realm, as well as exceedingly high horizons, forcefully adding some human methods onto demon divine pills.


    But that was already his limit. Wanting to improve further was impossible as well.


    Wanting to make the Priest Temple attach high importance on him, he had to learn from the beginning.


    Of course, with Ye Yuan''s present realm, learning naturally yielded twice the results with half the effort.


    "Halt!"


    Ye Yuan had just entered the Tianlu Pavilion and was stopped by a white-haired old man.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, he actually could not see through this old man''s depths.


    "Senior!" Ye Yuan gave a bow and said.


    This white-haired old man was at least a rank five expert too.


    The white-haired old man glanced at Ye Yuan and said coolly, "You don''t have a single contribution point on you, so you can''t enter the Tianlu Pavilion."


    Ye Yuan was taken aback but understood very quickly. This white-haired old man must have sensed that the contributions points on him were zero through Tianlu Pavilion''s array formation.


    "Senior, could it be that I became a priest trainee and don''t have entry contribution points?"


    Contribution points this way of doing things could be applied universally in any faction.


    It was just that Ye Yuan forgot to check his identity token yesterday and did not expect that he actually did not even have a single contribution point.


    "Rubbish! You don''t have any contribution towards the temple, whence the contribution points come from? A trainee who just came in also wants to enter the Tianlu Pavilion, truly nothing more than wishful thinking! Get lost, don''t obstruct this priest here!"


    At this time, a voice suddenly sounded out behind Ye Yuan.


    Turning around to look, it was a young man dressed in priest attire, his face proud, nostrils almost reaching the sky.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but asked that white-haired old man, "Senior, is it allowed to use contribution points and have wager battles in the temple?"


    The white-haired old man nodded his head slightly and said, "It''s naturally allowed. But in the temple, martial arts fighting is forbidden, only alchemy fights are allowed."


    The moment that priest heard Ye Yuan''s words, he immediately burst into laughter and said, "What a joke, a low-level priest apprentice who just entered, who do you want to have a wager fight with?"


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, "You!"


    The priest was taken aback, then immediately laughed loudly and said, "You want to bet with me? Hahaha, you don''t even have contribution points, so what are you using to gamble against me?"


    While talking, Ye Yuan fished out a spirit fruit. The priest''s expression could not help changing and he cried out in surprise, "Crane Age Fruit!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Priest is so knowledgeable! Senior, how many contribution points do you think this Crane Age Fruit is worth?"


    This Crane Age Fruit was what Ye Yuan bought in Riverluck Capital City back then. The cost was extremely high.


    The white-haired old man looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. He did not know where this kid''s confidence came from, to actually dare bet with a priest.


    But he still nodded and said, "If it''s the Crane Age Fruit, it''s worth 500 contribution points."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said to the priest, "Lord Priest, let''s not waste time too. You offer 300 points, I''ll use this Crane Age Fruit to bet with you. How''s that?"


    The priest''s eyes revealed a covetous look. Looking at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, he smiled and said, "How did the temple recruit a fool? Heh heh, since you''re giving this priest a treasure, it would be rude for this priest to not accept it. Okay, this priest will bet with you! Don''t say that I bully you. Bet on what, you can pick at will!"


    A hint of slyness was revealed in Ye Yuan''s eyes and he said with a smile, "Don''t be so troublesome. Let''s just compete in fire control."


    "Compete in fire control? Heh, you really know how to pick! Give you a chance, change to others. Although you still don''t have any chances of winning," the priest said.


    At this time, there were people who wanted to enter the Tianlu Pavilion one after another but were drawn over by these two.


    "This newcomer''s head is problematic, right? To actually want to find Priest Chi Feng to compete in fire control?"


    "Who doesn''t know that Chi Feng is the number one fire controller among the priests. Where did this kid''s courage come from?"


    "Heh heh, the ignorant is fearless!"


    ...


    Chi Feng looked at Ye Yuan with a smug face and said with a smile, "Idiot, hear that? My alchemy skills are not the strongest among priests, but fire controlling skill, no one can surpass me! A trash like you competing in fire control with me?"


    Toward this kind of guy who trampled on others to posture, Ye Yuan was most annoyed by them.


    I didn''t find you and didn''t provoke you, was calling trash and fool over and over again very fun?


    Just nice, he did not have contribution points. It was truly someone delivering a pillow when taking a nap.


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Is the number one fire controller very impressive?"


    Chi Feng was stunned and said with a cold smile, "You''ll know right away how impressive it is!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "So much crap, come on."


    Ye Yuan''s appearance was really asking for a beating in Chi Feng''s heart. He decided to teach Ye Yuan a lesson well.


    Chi Feng kneaded seals with one hand, palm spitting. Countless sparks instantly surrounding Ye Yuan, akin to the starry night, drawing a wave of exclamations.


    "Kid, have a taste of my Starry Sky. Let you witness what''s called the number one fire controller!" Chi Feng said with a hideous grin.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have suffered a fright, crying out strangely, and running away with a whoosh.


    When Chi Feng saw the situation, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, "Running? if this priest lets you, an apprentice, run away, wouldn''t I be laughed at by the whole temple?"


    Chi Feng''s fire controlling technique was truly formidable. Controlling those countless sparks did not feel the slightest bit of strain.


    However, Ye Yuan''s movements were extremely erratic and actually arrived in front of Chi Feng with a few turns.


    Bang!


    Two sparks landed on Chi Feng''s eyebrows. Only to smell a burning smell transmit over, his brows were gone.


    "Pffft!"


    Suddenly, a wave of guffaws came over.


    "Tsk tsk, the number one fire controller is indeed formidable! This fire burning brows move, I''m in admiration!" Ye Yuan said with a look of marvel.


    Chi Feng''s hands and feet were thrown into confusion, hurriedly putting away the divine fire.


    But his eyebrows were already gone.


    "You! You cheated!" Chi Feng pointed at Ye Yuan and said exasperatedly.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "One must be willing to lose if they bet. So many people are watching, could it be that you want to renege?"


    Chi Feng''s expression changed several times and he gritted his teeth and said, "Consider yourself ruthless!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t say that I don''t give you the chance. Now, I''ll use my 300 contribution points to carry on betting with you, do you dare to accept it or not?"

 1752 Reading Without Understanding

    "Just now, it was clearly Chi Feng who had the upper-hand. But now why was he suddenly defeated?"


    "Yeah, I only saw that kid being chased all over the place, and suddenly, Chi Feng''s brows caught on fire."


    "Maybe this kid was lucky and hit the mark by a fluke?"


    ...


    Chi Feng lost bafflingly just now. It was clearly him who took the upper-hand, but why did he suddenly lose?


    Not just him, the others also did not see clearly, all with confused faces.


    Only one person, a white-haired old man, understood, with a look of shock flashed past in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan''s move earlier was extremely brilliant, directly burning Chi Feng''s two motes of starlight onto the other party''s eyebrows through spatial law.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s movements were extremely concealed. With these few people''s visual prowess, it could not be discovered at all.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Chi Feng, compete with him! Could us priests lose to a low-level trainee?" In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.


    Chi Feng''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Fine! I''ll offer 500 points. If you lose, you''ll lose both the Crane Age Fruit and 300 points to me! Do you dare to agree or not?"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "You''re really shameless enough, 200 points and you want to earn the Crane Age Fruit back. But �� why wouldn''t I not dare? Make your move!"


    Chi Feng was just about to make a move when he suddenly stopped and said in a solemn voice, "Just now, it was me who made a move first. This time, it''s your turn!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You really want me to make a move? If I make a move first, you won''t have any chance at all."


    Chi Feng smiled coldly and said, "You were merely lucky just now. Do you really think that you''re impressive? Below elders, no one has yet to dare say such words in front of me, you''re really boasting shamelessly!"


    Ye Yuan said with a helpless look, "Since that''s the case, then I''ll make a move. You have to be careful."


    This time, Chi Feng naturally would not underestimate the enemy again. Fully on guard, he stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    He decided to take Ye Yuan down a peg this time.


    Let him know that the prestige of priests was not to be profaned!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly stretched out his right hand, index and middle finger put together.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Chi Feng''s mouth, both hands kneading seals, prepared to summon his divine fire once more.


    Ye Yuan''s finger lightly flicked!


    Whoosh!


    Bang!


    Just as everyone had not reacted, a flash of fire rose to the sky.


    Chi Feng summoned Starry Sky once more unconsciously.


    In the crowd, someone shouted, "Senior Apprentice Brother Chi Feng, your hair! Hair!"


    Chi Feng froze and muttered, "Hair?"


    "Ah! Ahh! My hair! Caught on fire! Caught on fire!"


    Chi Feng yelled out, hopping and skipping, just like a panicky rabbit, his appearance so comical.


    But the fire on top of his head was very strong and could not be extinguished at al.


    The white-haired old man shook his head slightly but was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    These two people''s fire controlling techniques were not on the same level at all.


    Ye Yuan''s technique seemed simple but was in fact extremely difficult.


    Even he could not do it to this kind of degree as well.


    Was this trainee newly recruited?


    Why was such a genius just an ordinary low-level trainee?


    "Ouch, my hand! I �� I admit defeat! I admit defeat! Quickly put out the fire!"


    Chi Feng''s hands could not touch his head at all. Ye Yuan''s Cleansing Sandal Sacred Flame had long already reached rank four, its power boundless.


    Ye Yuan not taking the initiative to recall it, this fire would keep on burning.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, reached his hand out to beckon, that cluster of flames flew back into his palm.


    While at this time, Chi Feng''s hair was already burned into black charcoal, looking so funny on his head.


    When everyone saw this scene, they all forcefully held back smiles.


    But this scene was even more humiliating in Chi Feng''s eyes.


    Ye Yuan held back his laugh and said with clasped hands, "Number one fire controller indeed lives up to reputation. Ye Yuan has learned!"


    "Looks like this kid really wasn''t lucky!"


    "Luck my ass! Facing Chi Feng, you try being lucky twice for me to see!"


    "Is he really just a priest trainee? I actually can''t see through his fire controlling method!"


    ...


    After the mockery, what everyone was left with was just shock.


    There were quite a few priests present, but those who were able to see through how Ye Yuan made his move, there were none!


    A priest trainee, this fire controlling art was also too horrifying, right?


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. His goal was contribution points. Now that he earned it, he was going to enter Tianlu Pavilion to study!


    Transferring the contribution points, Ye Yuan said to the white-haired old man with clasped hands, "Senior, can I go in?"


    The white-haired old man said, "Of course you can. Your identity can only enter Tianlu Pavilion''s first level. First level, two hours is five contribution points. The array formation will automatically deduct from your identity token. You grasp the time well yourself!"


    Ye Yuan''s face turned black when he heard that and said, "Two hours five contribution points, this is also too black, right?"


    The white-haired old man''s face also fell and he said, "Keep talking nonsense and this old man will slap you to death with one palm!"


    Ye Yuan stuck out his tongue and slipped inside.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all unclear.


    Wasn''t this white-haired old man an ordinary old man managing the Tianlu Pavilion?


    That punk was so arrogant with Chi Feng, why was he so respectful toward this old man?


    The white-haired old man looked harmless to man and beast, the aura on his body was not strong.


    The priests and priest trainees that came to Tianlu Pavilion, very few paid attention to him.


    The old man naturally could not be bothered with him either, turning around and entering Tianlu Pavilion.


    ...


    Entering Tianlu Pavilion''s first level, this place formed its own space.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have entered an ocean of divine inscriptions. All kinds of records were displayed on a light screen.


    Seeing these things, Ye Yuan''s two eyes lit up.


    What he was most interested in was naturally the demonic attraction art. This was the foundation of the demon race''s alchemy skills.


    In the catalog, Ye Yuan found the demonic attraction art and started to study it tirelessly.


    Ye Yuan''s present Alchemy Dao horizons were not what the average person could compare to.


    These things were extremely obscure and hard to understand to ordinary priest trainees.


    But to Ye Yuan, he read ten lines with one glance but was suddenly enlightened.


    Ye Yuan immersed inside, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.


    Suddenly, a large force came over, Ye Yuan was directly ejected out of Tianlu Pavilion''s first level.


    "Ouch! What''s going on?"


    Ye Yuan plopped onto the ground, grimacing in pain.


    "Your contribution points are already depleted, the array formation directly transported you out." The white-haired old man came behind Ye Yuan at no idea when and said coolly.


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "This is called transported? This is called kicking out, alright?"


    The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Do you feel that contribution points came too easily, so you don''t know how to cherish it? These few days, reading without understanding like you, how many things can you learn?"


    Ye Yuan was stunned and said, "Senior has been paying attention to me these few days?"


    The white-haired old man ignored Ye Yuan and said with an angry look from failing to live up to expectations, "Kid, your talent is extremely high, but with such an attitude, it''s hard to have great achievements!"


    He had naturally been paying attention to Ye Yuan all along. But he saw that Ye Yuan read no less than 500 classics in over ten days.


    And these 500 classics, each one was sufficient for a priest to study for as long as several decades.


    Wasn''t this joking around?

 1753 Wealth Scattering Boy

    "Uh, why does Senior say this? I read very seriously and very carefully!" Ye Yuan said very sincerely.


    He had indeed read very seriously and did not have any slipshod aspects.


    The white-haired old man snorted coldly and said, "Seriously? Carefully? You read 532 classics in less than 14 days, averaging 30 to 40 books a day. You''re telling me seriously and saying carefully?"


    Ye Yuan was taken aback for a moment, only then understanding what the white-haired old man meant. He could not help saying with a bitter smile, "Senior, I really read very seriously and absolutely didn''t gloss over!"


    The white-haired old man discovered that Ye Yuan''s talent was astonishing and naturally had very high expectations of him.


    But Ye Yuan''s attitude of reading the classics made him very unhappy.


    Now that he came to remind him, he actually still refused to admit it. This made him even more upset.


    The white-haired old man gave a cold snort and said, "You said you read very serious, fine. Then I ask you, what''s the most important take-away point for Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art?"


    Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art was precisely a demon race fire controlling art that Ye Yuan read.


    The white-haired old man also saw through that Ye Yuan''s fire controlling technique was developed with the human race''s fire controlling techniques as foundation, and he did not seem too proficient in the demon race''s.


    While the Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art was also a more obscure foundation fire controlling art of the demon race.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled and said, "Is Senior testing me?"


    The white-haired old man did not deny it and said coolly, "If you can''t answer, stare at one book and read properly when you enter in the future!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Zi Ming Godherding Fire Controlling Art, the most important thing is engraving the fire in one''s heart, heart follows the mind, heart and fire becoming one, controlling fire and connecting divinity!"


    The moment the white-haired old man heard, he could not help being slightly surprised.


    This was a very obscure knowledge. He did not expect that Ye Yuan answered it in one fell swoop.


    He did not give up and asked again, "Fire control is your forte, answering doesn''t mean anything. Come again, how many key nodal points does the Howling Rain Sky Direction Art have?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and opened his mouth again, describing the few nodes clearly.


    The white-haired old man clearly did not believe it, asking question after question, the speed getting faster and faster.


    Ye Yuan knew that this old man was doing it for his own good and did not find it bothersome, answering fluently, without any omissions.


    The more the white-haired old man asked, the more shocked he was in his heart.


    Was this a freaking freak?


    What was more damnable was that not only did Ye Yuan answer fluently, he frequently added in his own opinion, which was extremely insightful!


    Many comprehensions actually made the white-haired old man have a feeling of suddenly being enlightened.


    Those classics that Ye Yuan read, the white-haired old man had long read before no idea how many times. Saying that he could read it backward was not over the top in the slightest.


    But he discovered now that he read several tens of thousands of years of classics, and his understanding was actually not as deep as this young man in front of him!


    This �� was too f*cking hell!


    The white-haired old man suddenly discovered that there was a myriad of profanities that galloped across in his heart.


    This was not testing the other party, it was purely seeking a beat down!


    However, he was still so wretched, asking Ye Yuan questions non-stop. Because Ye Yuan''s understanding was indeed greatly beneficial to him.


    Finally, the white-haired old man stopped asking. He looked at Ye Yuan with a face like he saw a ghost and said, "Kid, you aren''t messing with this old man, right? These classics, you wouldn''t have read them before, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior must be joking. You''ve already asked a hundred questions. Even if I read before the classics, it also wouldn''t so coincidentally match each one, right?"


    The white-haired old man thought so too. 500 over kinds of books, there were always some wrong areas.


    If he did not read it just now, there would always be some questions and could not be answered.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan also would not be bored to the extent of coming to make fun of him, this gate-keeping old man.


    But the more it was like this, the more shocked the white-haired old man was in his heart.


    What kind of talent was needed to have such terrifying memorizing ability and comprehension ability?


    He waved his hand and said, "You can go!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Senior!"


    After Ye Yuan left, the white-haired old man''s figure also flashed, disappearing.


    ...


    "Lord Chi Feng, you have to take revenge for us! You look at the three of us, really �� really no face to meet people anymore!"


    Hu Feng''s appearance was indescribably miserable.


    Ye Yuan directly sent their divine fires back at that time, giving them a dose of their own medicine, the power was extraordinary.


    More than ten days had passed, even though they got much better, there were still burn marks inside and out, looking like poodles.


    Most of these priest trainees had priest patrons.


    Speaking of which was coincidental too, Hu Feng''s backer was precisely Chi Feng.


    At this time, the hair on top of Chi Feng''s heart already grew back anew, recovering to that domineering appearance.


    Chi Feng snorted coldly and said, "The three of you really lost all of my face! Slept three days and nights in the latrine and actually don''t even dare to come back! You guys are really capable!"


    Hu Feng said with a bitter expression, "Your Excellency, you aren''t aware. That punk''s fire controlling technique is really incredible! The three of us added together aren''t his match either!"


    Chi Feng''s expression changed, having a bad premonition, and asked in a solemn voice, "What''s that punk''s name?"


    Hu Feng three people exchanged glances, clearly forgetting Ye Yuan''s name.


    Right at this time, a youth in white walked into the dormitory.


    "It''s you!"


    Hu Feng and Chi Feng few people turned their heads to look, crying out strangely in unison.


    When Ye Yuan saw these few people, he instantly understood something and said with a smile, "Welcoming a low-level apprentice like this, the line-up is a little too big, right?"


    But Hu Feng said in surprise, "Your Excellency, you know this punk?"


    Chi Feng asked back, "It was this brat who burned you all until like this?"


    Hu Feng nodded and said, "Yeah, it''s this kid! I beg Your Excellency to help us take revenge!"


    Chi Feng had a strange look, thinking to himself, avenge your ass!


    Your father isn''t even his match, yet you guys still asked me to help you take revenge!


    But in front of subordinates, he naturally would not yield.


    In reality, after the fire battle the last time, he already thought about taking revenge.


    This kid''s attainment in fire control was extraordinary. But in alchemy, he was definitely inferior to him,


    Otherwise, he would not be a low-level apprentice but a true priest already.


    Chi Feng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Kid, dare to bet with me again or not?"


    Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Still dare to bet with me? Aren''t you scared of losing until you don''t even have pants to wear? Should I be calling you a wealth scattering boy or not?"


    Hu Feng three people exchanged glances, not knowing what happened, but still said in a great rage, "Stinky brat, you, a low-level apprentice, dare to humiliate Lord Chi Feng? He''s a lord priest of the temple, are you tired of living?"


    Chi Feng said impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense! Brat, you chose the gambling method the last time. This time, I''ll pick! Do you have the balls or not?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Chi Feng and said with a smile that was not a smile, "You don''t need to aggravate me. Since you want to be a wealth scattering boy, if I were to refuse, wouldn''t that be seen as holding others back from achieving success? Say it, what''s the wager?"


    Chi Feng said in a solemn voice, "Let''s compete in pill refinement!"

 1754 Unable to Compare With the Pas

    The priest hall was a place designated for priests to conduct pill refinement. Occasionally, there would also be elders refining pills and preaching on Dao here.


    At this time, inside the priest hall was already packed with people, all here to watch the battle.


    Priest competing in alchemy with a low-level apprentice, this was major news, and it spread throughout the temple very quickly.


    They all wanted to see what kind of low-level apprentice was so arrogant and cool, to actually dare challenge a priest.


    Furthermore, this priest was even a very powerful existence among priests.


    "It''s that kid? Looks very ordinary!"


    "Ordinary? Heh heh, this kid isn''t a goody-two-shoes! He competed in fire control with Chi Feng at Tianlu Pavilion. The result was that he completely won twice!"


    "That''s nothing as well. Controlling fire and refining pills are two different matters after all. Chi Feng is clearly here to avenge his enmity. He''s peak late-stage rank four, but that punk has merely just entered middle-stage rank four. With Chi Feng''s strength, he won''t give Ye Yuan a chance."


    ...


    Some martial artists were extremely adept at controlling fire and used this as a means to confront the enemy. Saying that it was transcendent was also not an exaggeration.


    But controlling fire and refining pills were two different things after all.


    In the demon race alchemy skill, which was based on demonic divine essence, one''s realm was more important than in the human race.


    If Chi Feng was someone useless, then forget it. Yet, he was not.


    Even though his alchemy skills were not the strongest among priests, it was also sufficient to rank in the top ten. His strength was undeniably extraordinary.


    Priests who were able to rank in the top ten, their strengths were all very strong.


    In the future, they were existences who might even become elders!


    Hence, that was why Chi Feng would be so condescending and arrogant.


    In the inner-hall, three figures were currently observing the situation in the priest hall through the light screen ahead.


    "Ni Kun, in your view, who will win this alchemy battle?" Stonefeather said.


    Ni Kun said in a solemn voice, "Does this still need to be asked? Of course, it''s Chi Feng! That kid''s talent is exceedingly great, his strength is also extremely powerful. But during the apprentice test on that day, it should already be his limits, right? After all, the refinement of demon divine pills and divine pills are two totally different systems."


    Ku Mu also nodded and said, "Ye Yuan''s talent is indeed terrifying. Give him a year or so and his strength will definitely surpass all priests. But a dozen over days, it can''t change anything at all."


    Ni Kun smiled coldly and said, "So what? If looking at books can let one''s strength make rapid progress, then demon divine pills are also too worthless. Moreover, over a dozen days, it''s enough for him to read how many books?"


    Stonefeather thought about it and also nodded and said, "What you said is right. Maybe I was overthinking it."


    Actually, his view was the same as Ni Kun and Ku Mu, feeling that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win.


    But no idea why, he kept having a feeling that Ye Yuan probably would not lose that easily.


    Although he also felt that this idea was very absurd.


    ...


    Chi Feng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Fool, you think that your fire controlling technique is impressive and you''re invincible under the heavens? Today, I''m going to let you take a look at the disparity between priest and priest trainees!"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I say, why do you have so much crap? If talking nonsense can represent strength, your strength is indeed very formidable, I''m so scared of losing!"


    Chi Feng''s face fell and he said angrily, "Razor-tongued brat, I want to see when you can be cocky until!"


    Ye Yuan said with a nonchalant face, "Alright, let''s start. Don''t say that I bully you, let you run for two hours first!"


    Chi Feng was taken aback when he heard that and laughed loudly as he said, "Let me run for two hours first? Kid, you really can boast! Alright, I want to see how you chase!"


    At this time, quite a few people gave sidelong glances, feeling that Ye Yuan was too arrogant.


    How was this an appearance like a priest trainee? It was simply like an elder.


    However, someone suddenly spoke up in the crowd, "Lord Chi Feng, you mustn''t fall for this brat''s trick! He doesn''t know how to refine demon divine pills at all, he wants to secretly learn!"


    One sentence drew quite a few people''s attention.


    Ye Yuan also looked over rather surprisedly, it was an old acquaintance. It was Mu Yuanchun!


    Clearly, this alchemy battle also caught his attention.


    When Chi Feng saw that it was a low-level apprentice too, he could not help being somewhat surprised and said in a solemn voice, "Secret learn? What nonsense are you talking about? If he can even secretly learn when I refine pills, you''re also thinking too highly of him, right?"


    Mu Yuanchun said with a heavy look, "Lord Chi Feng, I took part in the priest apprentice examination at the same time with him. This kid''s pill refining speed was extremely fast, but he kept on secretly learning by the side. In the end, he refined a superior-grade demon divine pill! He definitely has ill-intentions letting you refine first!"


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    Secretly learning by the side, in the end, refined a superior-grade demon divine pill. Why did this sound so strange?


    But if what Mu Yuanchun said was true, Ye Yuan''s alchemic talent was also too terrifying, right?


    But Chi Feng''s expression changed and he secretly thought to himself what a close shave.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, "Brat, turns out that you were waiting for me? Let''s refine together!"


    Mu Yuanchun also had a smug look when he saw that Chi Feng came to realize the truth.


    Ye Yuan eating a loss, he was very happy to see it happen.


    This alchemy battle''s medicinal pill was picked by Chi Feng, a level four difficulty demon divine pill.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine such a high difficulty medicinal pill within such a short time.


    But Ye Yuan had an indifferent look and said coolly, "Up to you, begin then."


    Ye Yuan being so magnanimous made Mu Yuanchun stunned.


    Could it be that this punk really had a well-thought-out plan?


    But it had only been over a dozen days. How was it possible?


    Refining starting, Chi Feng''s pill refinement flowed naturally and smoothly, already faintly having the style of a master.


    Priest top ten was indeed not for show.


    In contrast, Ye Yuan''s technique was still a little unfamiliar.


    What they guessed was right. After all, only a dozen over days had passed, Ye Yuan did not have the chance to refine demon divine pills at all.


    This was his second time refining demon divine pills.


    The medicinal pill that Chi Feng picked was called Baqi Leiyin Pill.


    This pill formula was naturally not very profound. Ye Yuan already saw it before in the Tianlu Pavilion.


    But level four difficulty medicinal pill, the difficulty was far greater compared to the Darkcloud Profound Spring Pill.


    With Ye Yuan''s current situation, it was indeed a little strenuous.


    Of course, that was also just relative to divine pills.


    Ye Yuan did not lack pill refining experience. His alchemy skills had gone through endless tempering.


    Even though demon divine pills were another system, this did not hinder him from getting started rapidly.


    With these dozen over days of theoretical foundation in the Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan was no longer an ignorant person long ago.


    Everyone including Stonefeather misjudged him!


    These dozen over days could be said to be a monumental change to Ye Yuan.


    Apart from him still being very unfamiliar with many techniques, his progress in the rest was massive.


    Less than two hours, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pill was refined completely.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan''s pill refining speed, everyone also marveled in wonder, thinking to themselves that what Mu Yuanchun said was indeed not false.


    This guy''s pill refining speed was too fast.


    It was just that, could the quality be assured?

 1755 Devastation

    Completing the refinement, Ye Yuan started observing Chi Feng calmly.


    The very perfect refining technique in other people''s eyes was naturally not worth mentioning in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    But in the refinement of demon divine pills, Ye Yuan had no choice but to admit that Chi Feng still had many saving graces.


    Compared to Mu Yuanchun, Chi Feng was much stronger.


    Once he entered a state of learning, Ye Yuan''s perception was exceedingly terrifying.


    Him being able to become the Immortal Grove World''s number one person in alchemy, this was not unrelated to his terrifying learning ability.


    Back then, at Cloudmarsh City, Ye Yuan won thousands of rounds in a row, gleaning countless strong points from his opponents.


    Coupled with his powerful comprehension ability, that was how there was his subsequent transcendent achievements.


    Ye Yuan could not bear the sight of Chi Feng''s high and mighty face, but this did not hinder him from drawing merits from Chi Feng.


    Combining the theoretical knowledge learned in Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan naturally had a feeling of suddenly understanding the whole thing.


    Finally, Chi Feng withdrew his spell and ended the pill refinement, revealing a knowing smile.


    Regarding the pill refinement this time, he was still very satisfied.


    However, the moment he raised his head, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and his expression could not help changing.


    This guy''s pill refining speed was really very fast!


    "Heh, haven''t opened the furnace yet, what are you being smug for?" Chi Feng said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Whether opening the furnace or not, the result is already fixed. Competing in alchemy, I''ve never lost before."


    These words were domineering!


    But it was also a fact.


    When Ye Yuan was at Three-star Alchemy God, he could already thrash Four-star Alchemy Gods.


    Walking all the way from the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan had lost before in Martial Dao, lost before in Array Dao. Only in Alchemy Dao did he never lose before!


    Even now when he had to learn from scratch.


    In alchemy, Ye Yuan had absolute confidence.


    But these words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of others.


    "This trainee priest is so arrogant! Who does he think he is?"


    "This boast is really big, also not scared of blowing a hole in the sky! Just his clumsy technique, what high-grade medicinal pills can he refine?"


    "Let''s dig a hole in the ground for him. When he loses in a while, he still has to get inside!"


    ...


    Those able to enter the Priest Temple, which one wasn''t an alchemy genius?


    Furthermore, among them, there were even many senior priests. Hearing these words, they were naturally unhappy.


    He had absolute strength to defend his arrogance.


    Chi Feng smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "What pill refinement competes in isn''t speed. Boasting also needs strength to guarantee it! Open!"


    Chi Feng''s palm flipped, a medicinal pill flew out of the medicinal cauldron.


    Medicinal fragrances permeated the air. Everyone focused their eyes and look. One said in surprise, "superior-grade!"


    Chi Feng was also overjoyed. Looking at Ye Yuan, he smiled coldly and said, "Saw that? This is the true strength of a priest! You, a trainee priest, can only look up to it! Hand over the Crane Age Fruit and Heavenly Martial Spirit Mystic Grass!"


    Heavenly Martial Spirit Mystic Grass was another kind of extremely rare rank four spirit medicine, also one of the wagers of the alchemy battle this time.


    Chi Feng wagered very big this time, directly betting 2000 points.


    Ye Yuan already did not have contribution points and could only use spirit medicines to use as a wager.


    The Priest Temple was based on the principle of putting quality before quantity. Those able to become priests, all of them were extraordinary in strength.


    And Chi Feng was even distinguished among them.


    Under normal circumstances, there was no problem in him refining high-grade.


    But the refinement this time, he clearly performed exceptionally well. The grade of the medicinal pill actually reached initial-stage superior-grade!


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "I haven''t even opened the furnace yet and you''re asking for the spirit medicines from me. You''re also a little too confident, right?"


    He could not quite understand where Chi Feng''s confidence came from.


    Could it be that refining a superior-grade medicinal pill could seal the victory?


    Chi Feng said disdainfully, "With the Baqi Leiyin Pill''s difficulty, superior-grade can basically secure the victory! Could it be that you can refine heaven-grade still? Enough nonsense, hurry up and hand it over! Otherwise, I''m going to apply to the temple for a forced enforcement!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing when he heard that and said, "Really a frog at the bottom of a well! In your eyes, superior-grade is probably the highest grade, right?"


    Chi Feng sneered and said, "Superior-grade is naturally not the highest grade. But I don''t think that you can refine heaven-grade!"


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly and similarly flipped his palm, the medicinal pill flew out!


    An even thicker fragrance dispersed in all directions!


    Chi Feng''s expression changed and he cried out in surprise, "P-Peak superior-grade!"


    The moment Ye Yuan saw, his face could not conceal the disappointed look as he shook his head and said with a sigh, "Still lacking some skill in the end, almost can''t even thrash a trash."


    One sentence almost angered Chi Feng until he vomited blood.


    When Mu Yuanchun saw the medicinal pill Ye Yuan refined, his complexion turned white all at once, and he muttered, "This �� how is this possible? More than ten days ago, could it be that it still wasn''t his limit?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "More than ten days ago, that was indeed my limit. But over ten days have passed, you wouldn''t think that I''m still marching on the spot, right?"


    Mu Yuanchun could not help choking when he heard that.


    Over a dozen days, from level two difficulty to level four difficulty, this improvement was also too fast, right?


    This was the gap between a high-level apprentice and a top priest!


    One had to know, Chi Feng used several thousand years to complete this leap.


    He, Ye Yuan, only used a dozen over days?


    Mu Yuanchun had an impulse to want to vomit blood.


    Ye Yuan looked at Chi Feng and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Wealth scattering boy, concede defeat!"


    Chi Feng''s face turned black and he bellowed furiously, "You �� You cheated! I''m going to report you to the elders!"


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, "How did I cheat? It was you yourself who came to find me to compete in alchemy and even vowed in all solemness, saying to let me take a look at the strength of priests. Now, I saw it, it''s indeed very impressive!"


    "Alright, still don''t find it shameful enough?! Transfer the contribution points to Ye Yuan and get lost!"


    Chi Feng still wanted to say something but was cut off by a muffled thunder-like voice.


    Chi Feng turned towards the sound, his expression could not help changing greatly, and he bowed and said, "M-Master!"


    "Elder Ni Kun!"


    Ye Yuan was a little surprised. He did not expect that Chi Feng was actually Elder Ni Kun''s disciple.


    It seemed like he kicked a metal plate.


    Ni Kun''s gaze was frosty as he looked at Chi Feng and said, "You didn''t hear what I said?"


    Chi Feng''s face changed and he hurriedly said, "Yes, Master!"


    Under Ni Kun''s word of command, how could he still dare to dawdle? He hurriedly transferred the contribution points to Ye Yuan, and then he scrambled away.


    Finished with these, Ni Kun said again, "All have nothing to do? Watching the show here?"


    When everyone heard that, they scattered on command.


    Ye Yuan was just about to leave, but was stopped by Ni Kun who said with an unfriendly expression, "Kid, impressive! Just over a dozen days since you arrived, and you already caused so much trouble for me!"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Elder, I didn''t cause trouble. It was trouble that came to provoke me."


    He knew that these few people must have been paying attention to him and definitely knew the ins and outs of the matter.


    These few incidents really could not be blamed on him.


    Ni Kun snorted coldly and said, "Come with me! Someone wants to meet you!"


    Ye Yuan''s eyebrows raised up, aware that the main thing was coming!

 1756 Pries

    In front of him was an old man with golden hair all over his face, looking ferocious and malicious.


    That appearance was simply a golden-furred lion king.


    Ye Yuan was somewhat perplexed. Could such a boorish fellow really refine high-grade medicinal pills?


    The old man was also sizing Ye Yuan up, his gaze profound, no idea what he was thinking of.


    After a long time, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a voice akin to a great bell, "Young man, just what goal do you have joining the Priest Temple?"


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "Junior has long yearned for demon divine pills. Coming this time, I hope to be able to learn the demon race''s alchemy techniques, and let my Alchemy Dao improve further!"


    The old man laughed loudly and said, "Haha, this old man believes your words, you and I belong to the same type of people! For the sake of alchemy, we can fling caution to the wind! However, your goal shouldn''t be just this, right?"


    Ye Yuan discovered that this old man''s personality was candid and straightforward, going straight to the point without beating around the bush when talking. He naturally had no need to cover it up as well and said with a nod, "Actually, I came for my brother!"


    Ye Yuan did not conceal anything, telling about the matter of finding White Light with the help of the Priest Temple.


    After the old man heard, he laughed loudly and said, "I couldn''t tell that you''re still a lad who values friendship! However, don''t you feel that this old man will lose out a lot like this? You learned the demon race''s alchemy techniques and even deployed the Priest Temple''s power. In the end, what benefits can this old man and the terrific lad get?"


    Ye Yuan knew that the other party was about to negotiate terms with him.


    If the terms were not agreeable, he would be in danger.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "What I can pull out is my alchemy skills. The reason why Senior is willing to discuss with me is probably that you had your eyes on this too, right?"


    The old man laughed loudly and said, "Kid, you''re a smart person. I, Di Qiu, don''t like to beat around the bush either. You stay in the Priest Temple for 5000 years. This favor, I''ll help with it!"


    Ye Yuan naturally understood that 5000 years was equivalent to selling himself to the Priest Temple.


    This kind of thing, he naturally could not agree to it.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Lord Hall Master, this Ye has my own matters and likely can''t stay at the Priest Temple for long-term. If Lord Hall Master insists on making me stay, this Ye can only stay for at most 300 years!"


    300 years was already the limit that Ye Yuan could give.


    If Ye Yuan had no ties or attachments, there was nothing wrong with staying 5000 years here.


    This place was adjacent to the Skydemon Mountain Range, the spirit medicines in abundant supply.


    But Ye Yuan knew that it was impossible for him to stay 5000 years here.


    As expected, the moment Ye Yuan''s words came out, Di Qiu''s face turned dark and he said, "Kid, are you messing with me? 300 years, what do I want you for?"


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "300 years is sufficient to pay back the Priest Temple''s capital sunk!"


    "Hehe, what an arrogant brat! To priests, 300 years is merely a snap of a finger. Your talent is pretty good, but giving you 300 years, what benefits can you bring to the Priest Temple? Or is it that you''re simply fooling this old man? Mn?"


    Di Qiu glared: a terrifying aura was emitted out.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan felt as if Mount Tai was bearing down from on top. Even breathing became very laborious.


    This was not realm suppression, but the real deal!


    Clearly, Di Qiu was really enraged.


    He felt that Ye Yuan was playing with him.


    300 years, in the eyes of the average person, it was indeed too insincere.


    Under the tremendous pressure, Ye Yuan''s bones creaked and rattled, his complexion deathly pale.


    But he said stubbornly, "300 years, I can create countless powerhouses for the Priest Temple! If you don''t believe it, we can sign a Heavenly Dao Oath with 300 years as the date!"


    Di Qiu was clearly moved and said coldly, "That works too. After 300 years, if I see your contributions, I''ll help you find your brother then!"


    Ye Yuan''s face changed when he heard that, this old fellow was clearly someone who did not commit until success was certain.


    Not giving him some benefits, there was no way he would agree.


    But with his current strength, he could not do it at all.


    This was awkward!


    Clearly, Ye Yuan overestimated this hall master''s patience.


    Over 300 years'' time, to someone who had never come into contact with demon divine pills before, it was indeed just a very brief instant.


    Even though Ye Yuan already displayed his talent, his Di Qiu clearly still did not believe that Ye Yuan could do anything in 300 years.


    "Senior, isn''t there any room for further negotiation?" Ye Yuan said with a pale complexion.


    Di Qiu smiled coldly and said, "What do you think?"


    Suddenly, Di Qiu''s expression changed, imposing momentum suddenly disappearing, and he changed expressions and said with a smile, "Actually �� it can also be discussed!"


    The pressure on Ye Yuan''s body suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving him stunned for a while.


    This old fellow still had a threatening and overbearing appearance just now, so why did he suddenly change?


    Di Qiu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, "How about this, we each take a step back! I don''t need you to stay for 5000 years, but you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to forever retain my Priest Temple''s priest status. If my Priest Temple needs you to refine pills, you mustn''t decline. If my Priest Temple is in danger, you also have to lend your assistance!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned again when he heard this, instantly understanding something.


    This Di Qiu was forthright and straightforward and could not think of such a roundabout idea at all.


    This way, it was equivalent to tying him to the Priest Temple for life. It was much more worthwhile than staying behind for 5000 years.


    Furthermore, this also gave him the maximum degree of freedom.


    This kind of thing, Di Qiu''s brain definitely could not come up with it. Just now, there must have been an expert giving guidance, it was just that he did not detect it.


    Inside this Priest Temple, talented men were living in hiding too!


    But this condition, Ye Yuan did not find it unacceptable.


    Ye Yuan had half of the demon race bloodline and was not averse toward the demon race.


    Moreover, if he could learn demon divine pills, his Alchemy Dao strength would definitely make great progress.


    This way, Ye Yuan would indeed owe the Priest Temple a huge favor too. Being the Priest Temple''s dharma protector for life also did not seem to have anything wrong.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, "Okay, I promise you! But, if the Priest Temple is going to be detrimental to me, it''s not within the restrictions!"


    Ye Yuan did not have a grin and bear it personality. The Priest Temple was a colossal system, Ye Yuan also did not dare guarantee that he could keep on being friends with the Priest Temple.


    Once someone was going to harm him, could it be that he still could not fight back?


    So before swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath, Ye Yuan naturally had to eliminate all hidden dangers.


    Di Qiu agreed very readily too and said with a smile, "However, the 300-year agreement must be counted!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and swore the Heavenly Dao Oath in front of Di Qiu.


    The constraints of Heavenly Dao Oaths were too great on martial artists. Unless it was a last resort, no one was willing to swear it.


    But Ye Yuan had no choice but to do so in order to get White Light''s news.


    Forget about swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath; even if it was being beaten until his bones were crushed into powder, Ye Yuan would not furrow his brows no matter what.


    When Di Qiu saw Ye Yuan swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, he could not help laughing loudly and said, "Okay, from now onward, you''re the temple''s official priest! 300 years. This old man hopes that you won''t disappoint me!"

 1757 This Priest Is a Little Impressive

    "Elder Li, I have a question!"


    On the high platform, an old man was currently giving a sermon to a group of priests when someone below the stage suddenly stood up to say.


    The priests below the stage were no less than a hundred people. At this time, gazes looked over in unison.


    This person was wearing a priest''s long robe, four stars hanging on his chest. Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    Seeing this scene, the faces of all the priests revealed knowing smiles.


    The scalp of the Elder Li on the stage tingled and he waved his hand and said, "If there are any questions, wait until after the sermon before asking, don''t need to say anymore right now."


    These few years, Ye Yuan already became the most troublesome ''problem student'' of all the elders.


    Practically during each sermon, Ye Yuan would interrupt many times to raise his doubts.


    When it was many, it even reached more than 10 or 20 times!


    If it was just causing trouble, these elders giving sermons would just fling a slap over.


    But the problem was, each time Ye Yuan raised his doubts, it was all very reasonable!


    Each time would stump the elders until they were left tongue-tied.


    In the beginning, there were still some elders who were unconvinced and started intense arguments with Ye Yuan.


    But in the end, they were all disputed until rendered speechless by Ye Yuan.


    With a few incidents, when these elders were giving sermons, they were afraid that Ye Yuan would be present.


    As long as they saw Ye Yuan, they would be like mice seeing a cat, hearts drumming away.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Elder Li and asked without caring, "Zi Shou Long Qin Pill has a neutral temperament. When refining it, one should control the temperature, basing the Five Elements Rules inside the spirit medicines as the foundation �� Elder Li, don''t you think this should be the case?"


    Ye Yuan''s talking speed was very fast, pointing out the problems in the sermon that Elder Li talked about just now.


    When the other priests heard Ye Yuan''s words, they all revealed thoughtful expressions.


    These priests all had their experiences too. At the start, they were all harboring the mentality of watching the show, watching Ye Yuan argue with the elders.


    But later on, they discovered that what Ye Yuan said was indeed very reasonable.


    After going back and experimenting, the quality of the medicinal pills really improved significantly.


    Hence, later on, as long as Ye Yuan opened his mouth, they would give their full attention to the lecture, and benefited a great deal instead.


    Elder Li said furiously, "Ye Yuan! Are you the elder, or am I the elder?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you''re the elder!"


    But Ye Yuan said, "Elder Li, can''t say it like that. The more truth is debated, the clearer it gets. Since there''s a problem, I naturally have to point it out. Could it be that you wish to let everyone go refine pills according to the wrong method?"


    Elder Li was angered until his face was livid and he said angrily, "Why don''t you come and preach to them then?"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don''t have that ability! I came to learn and casually raised his own questions. Haha, Elder Li, you continue!"


    Elder Li finally could not hold back and flicked his sleeves grandly and said, "Not preaching anymore!"


    Finished talking, he left in a huff.


    Putting on the priest robes, Ye Yuan started his days of learning demon divine pills in the Priest Temple''s halls.


    Even though he was very worried about White Light in his heart, he also knew that he could only wait right now.


    And Ye Yuan''s capital to gain a foothold in the Priest Temple was Alchemy Dao. Hence, he urgently needed to increase his strength currently.


    First time entering the Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan learned a lot of knowledge about demon divine pills.


    But the refinement of demon divine pills, Ye Yuan still lacked a great deal.


    Hence, he was absorbing knowledge frenziedly every day right now.


    Ye Yuan was naturally not deliberately making trouble. But these elders preaching on Dao, the areas that they missed out were too many.


    Ye Yuan posing his own queries was also within reason.


    It was just that some of his questions were too tricky. Even those elders could not answer them too, so it was easy to anger the other party.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re quite capable! Now that you angered Elder Li away, are you happy?"


    At this time, one of the priests stood up to question Ye Yuan. Who was it if not Chi Feng?


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Then you say, was I right or not?"


    Chi Feng could not help choking when he heard that. Ye Yuan said it very reasonably, he could not refute at all.


    If it could be refuted, Elder Li also could not leave in a rage.


    Even Elder Li could not do it, he, Chi Feng, naturally could not even more!


    "Humph! Even if what you said was reasonable, you also have to pay attention to the ways and means! You screwing like this, everyone doesn''t get to learn anymore!" Chi Feng said with a cold smile.


    Sure enough, with him instigating, the other people''s unhappy emotions all came out.


    Although Ye Yuan''s words were reasonable, now that even the elder was angered away, who would still come and preach to them in the future?


    This way, wouldn''t Ye Yuan become a plague god?


    "Ye Yuan, you''re a genius, we''re all mediocre, alright?"


    "You''re capable, don''t come and listen to the elders preach together with us!"


    "Now that the elder left, are you going to come and preach to us?"


    ...


    Everyone clamored to get a word in, all expressing dissatisfaction towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Uh, if it''s just up to Elder Li''s standard, it''s also not impossible for me to preach to you guys!"


    One sentence made everyone stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    This guy was bragging, right?


    The moment Chi Feng heard, he smiled coldly and said, "Alright then, you try preaching! Everyone, all come and listen to whether or not our temple''s number one genius can spout about some profound things!"


    Some shallow truths, everyone naturally all knew.


    Even if there was a gap between those sitting here, it also would not be too ridiculous.


    Therefore, Chi Feng completely did not believe that Ye Yuan could spout out some profound things.


    Being able to raise questions did not mean being able to preach to everyone!


    They were all Four-star priests, who could be much better than anyone?!


    Ye Yuan smiled, walked up the high platform, and said in a clear voice, "Then next, I''ll carry on talking from the place Elder Li stopped just now ��"


    Hence, Ye Yuan started to speak eloquently without ceasing.


    At the start, everyone''s faces all revealed disdain.


    But the more he said, the more serious the expressions on everyone''s faces got.


    They finally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking around!


    The things that Ye Yuan said were even clearer and easier to understand than Elder Li, and he also went straight to the point.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan''s understanding of the Zi Shou Long Qin Pill was far from what they could compare to.


    Even though Ye Yuan''s refinement of demon divine pills was still lacking, to talk about the understanding of pill formulas, 100 Elder Lis could not catch up to him even by whipping their horses.


    Moreover, medicinal pills of level four difficulty were still nothing in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Otherwise, he also would not have refined a peak superior-grade Baqi Leiyin Pill so easily.


    It was just that some specifics of the refining methods, as well as proficiency and specific application areas of demonic attraction art, Ye Yuan was still lacking in some level of skill.


    What was truly difficult were level seven and above medicinal pills!


    The group of priests was wholly enraptured listening. Their eyes became brighter and brighter. Clearly, they all had considerable gains.


    Even Chi Feng had long already forgotten to look at the joke too. He was focused on Ye Yuan''s preaching.


    "Uh, that''s about it. These are some of the easy to fall into mistake areas that I sorted out myself. As long as you all practice hard, you should be able to increase the grade of the medicinal pills considerably," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

 1758 Trash Missions

    "There''s no way to preach anymore! That Ye Yuan is simply bullying people to the extreme! Going too far!"


    The moment Elder Li entered, he started bellowing.


    There were currently several elders in the house right now. Stonefeather, Ni Kun, Ku Mu, and the rest, were all present.


    When the few people heard Elder Li''s roars, they immediately knew what had happened.


    "Elder Li, that punk is making a problem again?" Ni Kun said in a solemn voice.


    Elder Li smiled coldly and said, "Otherwise? This old man hasn''t even preached halfway and that brat interrupted ten times! Ten times! How to preach still?"


    Quite a few elders immediately felt the same when they heard it and criticized Ye Yuan.


    "That Ye Yuan really has no respect for his elders! The last time I was preaching, it was rebutted by him until I couldn''t step down!"


    "Isn''t that so? Ever since this brat became a priest, the temple hasn''t had peace from top to bottom!"


    "Seems like each of us elders has a grudge with him. Each time we preach, he''ll ask some strange and outlandish questions, really infuriating to death!"


    ...


    These elders were all incomparably indignant. But the words expressed and the implied meaning all revealed a hint of helplessness.


    Because of Ye Yuan''s questions, they really could not answer.


    The faults that Ye Yuan found, they also had no way of disputing.


    It was also precisely because so that even though they gnashed their teeth in hatred toward Ye Yuan, they could not do anything to him.


    No reason other than he was impressive!


    Not convinced, you debate it with him!


    The elders normally all stood high above the masses, receiving the worship and respect of priests and priest trainees.


    But Ye Yuan only came a few days and completely crumbled their settings.


    These elders naturally felt like they had no face.


    Ni Kun snorted coldly and said, "This punk is simply too outrageous! Who does he think he is? At this rate, the entire Priest Temple will be turned upside down!"


    Clearly, Ni Kun''s sermons had also been questioned by Ye Yuan before. Furthermore, the number of times was not a few.


    Ni Kun was not pleased with Ye Yuan to begin now. Now, he could not bear the sight of him even more.


    The moment Elder Li heard, he said, "Elder Ni, this punk must be taught a good lesson! Otherwise, his nose is almost pointing to the sky already!"


    "How to punish? Asking questions during sermons, this is a tradition since ancient times. Could it be that we''re forbidding him from speaking? If this were to spread out, how will us elders still keep a foothold in front of priests?" Ku Mu said.


    Ni Kun suddenly grinned and said, "This brat, this old man has long wanted to take him down a peg or two!"


    Ni Kun''s words immediately aroused the interests of the elders.


    Ni Kun smiled and said, "Eternal Chess Game ''Ask Not'', could it be that you all forgot about it?"


    The moment the elders heard, they immediately revealed knowing smiles.


    Elder Li even laughed loudly and said, "Brilliant, Elder Ni! Truly brilliant!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan did not know that these elders were currently scheming against him. After preaching, he went to get missions.


    In the Priest Temple, wanting to earn contribution points, one naturally had to receive pill refining missions.


    For the same pill refining mission, the higher the quality of the medicinal pill, the more the contribution points obtained.


    In this half over year, Ye Yuan would frequently take on some of the temple''s pill refining missions. Presently, he was already more and more well-versed in refining demon divine pills.


    But Ye Yuan''s pill refinements were different from the other priests.


    The other priests all turned their noses up at those low-difficulty missions. But what Ye Yuan took on in this half a year were all some extremely low difficulty missions.


    Among them, some missions did not even have contribution points, because they were too easy.


    These missions, some missions that could not be resolved by capital cities below, or even counties.


    Reaching imperial cities, the difficulty of this level of missions were too low. No one cared about it at all.


    But Ye Yuan completed each one with the greatest care.


    "Heh, Lord Ye Yuan came again, what level of mission do you plan on taking on this time?"


    The ones in charge of missions were a few priest trainees. They had long had some understanding of Ye Yuan''s habits already.


    Even though they were very disdainful in their hearts toward this, Ye Yuan''s identity was extraordinary, they naturally did not dare to slight him.


    Ye Yuan said, "Uh �� I''ll get ten 2-star difficulty missions this time."


    As he said this, Ye Yuan started choosing the 2-star missions he preferred more from the mission list.


    These missions that Ye Yuan picked were naturally pinpointed and not blindly chosen.


    If the mission did not have much help to his pill refining standard, he would not pick it.


    Just as Ye Yuan was choosing the missions, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind.


    "Heh, actually doing these trash missions that nobody does! What temple''s number one genius? I think that he''s simply a knock-off, right?"


    Ye Yuan turned his head to look and it was a gray-robed youth. He could not help rolling his eyes as he said, "Whatever missions I pick is none of your business! A meddlesome busybody who doesn''t understand anything!"


    The gray-robed youth''s face turned dark and he said, "Brat, do you know who I am? To actually dare speak to me like this?"


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "What has it got to do with me who you are? Do you think that I''m the same as you, poking into other people''s affairs without knowing anything?"


    When the others heard Ye Yuan''s words, each and every one of them was silent like cicadas in winter.


    Too domineering!


    The rest all recognized that this gray-robed youth in front of them was called Kong Yun, known as the number one priest!


    Being repeatedly rebutted by Ye Yuan, Kong Yun said angrily, "What a razor-tongued brat! Heh, the dignified temple''s number one genius is actually doing this sort of trash mission. Really making people die of laughter! This priest has been in closed-seclusion these few years. I didn''t expect that such a ridiculous thing actually appeared in the temple."


    In reality, before Ye Yuan appeared, the temple''s number one genius, this title, had always belonged to Kong Yun.


    But last time, Ye Yuan one-shotted Chi Feng on his second time refining demon divine pills. This made the temple''s number one genius title quietly transfer hands.


    Kong Yun had always been in seclusion. Who knew that the moment he exited seclusion, his number one genius title was gone.


    Upon inquiry, it turned out that a punk called Ye Yuan appeared.


    Today, Kong Yun came to get missions. Who knew that he just happened to run into Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave Kong Yun a glance and said coolly, "How many star missions can you take on?"


    The moment Kong Yun heard, this kid had the intention of challenging him!


    Heh heh, interesting!


    Kong Yun said proudly, "With this priest''s strength, all 5-star missions are nothing difficult. Why, could it be that you want to compete with me? With just �� the likes of these trash missions? Hahaha ��"


    Regarding this, Kong Yun was still extremely confident.


    His closed-seclusion this time, his Alchemy Dao strength made great improvements.


    5-star difficulty missions include some level five difficulty medicinal pills, as well as a small number of simple level six difficulty medicinal pills.


    With his current strength, he could basically sweep across 5-star missions.


    And this aspect, other priests could not do it at all.


    Ye Yuan looked at Kong Yun like he was looking at an idiot. He turned his head to that priest trainee, and said, "Give me the 7-star difficulty mission list!"


    Kong Yun could not help being taken back when he heard, bursting into laughter soon after as he said, "I heard that you''ve never done missions passing 3-stars before in this half a year. You actually want to do 7-star missions now? Are you trying to spite me? Haha, spitting also requires strength!"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and settled on a few of the most difficult ones among 7-star missions before saying, "Tomorrow noon, I''ll come to hand in the missions. When you complete these missions too, then come and raise a hue with me. Now, scram further away for me!"

 1759 Verification and Acceptance

    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Kong Yun was angered until his expression was livid.


    While the others were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.


    "Damn punk, to actually dare be so arrogant in front of me! 7-star missions, heh, I want to see how you complete them!" Kong Yun smiled coldly and said.


    "This Ye Yuan is crazy, right? He actually wants to challenge 7-star missions!"


    "7-star missions are what even elders might not be able to complete. That guy''s posturing was done over the top, right?"


    "Isn''t that so? Probably got carried away with the title of the temple''s number one genius, right?"


    "This half a year, he has never taken any mission that surpasses 3-star difficulty. Jumping to 7-star all of a sudden, isn''t this a joke?"


    ...


    Regarding Ye Yuan''s actions, everyone was very disapproving of it.


    3-star to 7-star, in between this was an insurmountable gulf.


    7-star missions, only elders would occasionally accept.


    Kong Yun came in front of that priest trainee and said with a grim face, "Let me take a look at what kind of missions he drew."


    The priest trainee did not dare to defy and handed the mission list to Kong Yun.


    The moment Kong Yun looked, his expression changed first. Then he immediately burst into laughter and said, "This brat is probably a fool, right? These missions, if he can complete them, I, Kong Yun, will pluck my head off and let him kick like a ball!"


    Ye Yuan''s move was too arrogant, throwing away all of his face.


    His loud laughter was also wanting to gain back some ground.


    Everyone was also very curious just what kind of 7-star missions Ye Yuan took on.


    There were many 7-star missions. There were easy ones and also difficult ones.


    Easy ones were merely slightly harder than 6-star missions.


    Difficult ones were even comparable to 8-star missions.


    Ye Yuan currently reached the front door. Hearing Kong Yun''s words, Ye Yuan''s figure paused, turned his head, and said, "I''ve remembered your words. I hope that you still have the courage to say such words tomorrow."


    Kong Yun laughed loudly and said, "You can rest assured that I''ll say it one more time tomorrow! Because these ten missions, there''s no way you can complete them!"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and left with large strides.


    The others were all very curious. Some priests whose strengths were pretty good stepped forward and asked, "Brother Kong Yun, just what kind of missions did Ye Yuan choose?"


    Kong Yun sneered and said, "You guys see for yourself!"


    When everyone saw the list, they immediately exploded!


    "This number 75 mission, didn''t Elder Ni once accept it before? He �� He seemed to have failed back then!"


    "These ten missions, each one is impossible to complete, is he mad?"


    ...


    The ten missions that Ye Yuan took on had basically all been accepted before by some, or several elders.


    Furthermore, they all failed.


    This kind of mission, how could a person who just learned half a year of demon divine pill refinement possibly complete them?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan had never before done 3-star and above missions. Directly doing 7-star missions now, wasn''t this nonsense?


    Kong Yun smiled coldly and said, "A fool who overestimates his own strength. Even if he wants to posture, he also needs to pick something suitable!"


    Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with Kong Yun''s words a lot.


    This showing off was over the top!


    ...


    At noon on the second day, Kong Yun had long arrived at the mission hall.


    Same as him, there were already quite a few people waiting here.


    "Kong Yun, heard that you were also kept in check by Ye Yuan yesterday?"


    Kong Yun turned around to look. It was Chi Feng.


    This guy heard that Ye Yuan took on a few impossible missions and naturally ran over to watch the show today.


    Being able to see Ye Yuan get disgraced was also a very refreshing thing.


    Kong Yun''s face fell and he said, "Being known as the temple''s number one genius, I even thought that he was some remarkable figure. Turns out that it was a fool!"


    Chi Feng smiled and said, "May not be a fool, but being able to force him to this point, there''s probably only you."


    Hearing Chi Feng''s words, Kong Yun was also secretly pleased with himself in his heart.


    "If he chose 6-star missions, I''d really still be a little worried. But, he chose 7-star. Forget that he chose 7-star, he even only picked some impossible missions. I say, what is he if not a fool?" Kong Yun said with a cold smile.


    Chi Feng naturally did not think that Ye Yuan was a fool. But he similarly did not think that these missions Ye Yuan chose could be completed.


    "In my view, he probably won''t be coming today. These missions are totally impossible to complete. However, 7-star and above missions need elders to come to verify and accept them. Elder Stonefeather already came. I want to see how he gives an account!" Chi Feng said with a smile.


    Hearing that, Kong Yun also had a smile on his face.


    After today, the title of the temple''s number one genius would return to him once again.


    "Came, came! I didn''t expect that Ye Yuan really dared to come!"


    "Heh heh, coming or not, he''ll become the temple''s laughing stock in the future!"


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Ye Yuan slowly walked in.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored the other people''s gazes and walked straight to the place to hand in missions.


    "I''m here to hand in missions," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    That priest trainee hurriedly said, "Lord Ye Yuan, please wait a moment. I''ll go invite Elder Stonefeather!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, that priest trainee turned around and left.


    "Heh heh, putting on an appearance! These missions, if you can complete one of them, I, Kong Yun, will write my two characters upside down!" Kong Yun scorned with a jeering smile.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a speechless look, "Yesterday, wanted to pluck your head for me to kick as a ball. Today, wanted to write your name upside down. The things that your parents gave you, do you not cherish them like so?"


    Kong Yun could not help choking when he heard that and said with a cold snort, "Stop pretending here! I want to see until when you can pretend."


    At this time, Stonefeather slowly walked out.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise too.


    This kid actually challenged 7-star missions all at once. Furthermore, it was all some extremely difficult missions. This was simply looking for abuse!"


    "Elder Stonefeather!" Ye Yuan gave a bow to Stonefeather.


    Stonefeather nodded his head and said, "Heard that you picked ten of the most difficult 7-star missions?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That''s right, Elder Stonefeather please verify and accept."


    As he said, Ye Yuan put ten storage rings on the counter.


    Stonefeather''s gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, "Ten missions, you �� you completed them all?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Since Ye Yuan drew them, I naturally have confidence in completing. Elder, please!"


    Stonefeather was slightly surprised in his heart. He picked up a storage ring, sinking his divine sense inside, and started verifying it.


    When Kong Yun, Chi Feng, and the rest saw this scene, they all had sneers on their faces.


    However, Stonefeather''s expressions suddenly changed drastically and he looked at Ye Yuan in shock as he said, "This �� This Candle Ren Immortal True Pill was refined by you?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Elder Stonefeather must be joking. Could it be that there''s still someone doing it on my behalf?"


    When the others saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely surprised.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan really completed one mission?


    Forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart, Stonefeather picked up the second storage ring and checked it again.


    Following that, was the third one, fourth �� all the way until the tenth!


    The expression on Stonefeather''s face became more and more shocked, and more and more incredulous.


    His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was like he had seen a ghost.


    When everyone saw Stonefeather''s rich expressions, each and every one of them was similarly extremely shocked.


    What in the world did Ye Yuan do, to actually make Elder Stonefeather lose composure like so?

 1760 Try Saying It Again

    "Elder Stonefeather, this ��"


    Kong Yun was long already not as calm as before anymore.


    Stonefeather, a Five-star High Priest actually lost composure like so. This was too abnormal.


    Stonefeather waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don''t talk to me; let me calm down for a while!"


    He held those ten storage rings repeatedly, looked at one, and put another one down, examining each one carefully continuously.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them clicked their tongues in wonder.


    However, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan became different.


    No idea how long had passed either, Stonefeather finally recovered from his shock.


    He heaved a long sigh of relief, calmed his emotions down, and said to Ye Yuan, "I heard that you never received 3-star and above missions at all in this half a year, how are you able to complete 7-star missions all of a sudden?"


    Same as everyone, Stonefeather was also very perplexed.


    He knew that with Ye Yuan''s Alchemy Dao foundation and talent, he should pick up demon divine pill techniques very quickly.


    But he completely did not expect that it would be fast to such an inconceivable extent.


    When he checked these ten missions just now, they were all level seven difficulty demon divine pills!


    Furthermore, they were very high difficulty level seven difficulty medicinal pills!


    Demon divine pills of this difficulty, even the elders did not have confidence in completing within one or two times.


    Not only did Ye Yuan complete them, but he also completed them very perfectly.


    Each kind of medicinal pill reached divine-grade!


    Refining level seven demon divine pills to divine-grade, this was simply a fairytale-like thing.


    Even they, these Five-star high priests, did not possibly have anyone able to do it too.


    This was the reason why he was so shocked.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Understanding one aspect, understanding all aspects! Refining high difficulty medicinal pills might not need going up one level by one level when refining. As long as one lays down a solid foundation, they can naturally achieve mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject."


    Stonefeather''s gaze turned intent and he praised, "A fine ''understanding one aspect, understanding all aspects''. It''s just that how many can do it to this extent? Ye Yuan, you indeed didn''t disappoint me!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Elder Stonefeather!"


    Stonefeather nodded his head and said to the priest trainee, "Ye Yuan''s ten missions, give him 30 thousand contribution points for each one!"


    "3-30 thousand? Elder Stonefeather, is �� is there a mistake?" Kong Yun said with a look of disbelief when he heard this.


    What did 30 thousand points per mission mean?


    One should not look at how Chi Feng gave away several hundred contribution points to Ye Yuan in the psat. Actually, this was already not a small sum.


    Accepting a 4-star mission, after completing it, one would only get several dozen to 100 contribution points.


    For Chi Feng to want to earn several hundred contribution points, he needed to do quite a few 4-star missions.


    As for 2000 contribution points, Chi Feng had to strive for at least quite a few years!


    Now, Ye Yuan''s one mission was worth 30 thousand contribution points, this was too fake!


    Kong Yun''s first reaction was that Elder Stonefeather did it on purpose, wanting to use Ye Yuan''s achievement as a contrast.


    "There''s naturally no mistake! Ye Yuan''s 10 missions, each one was completed perfectly. Awarding someone according to a 7-star mission''s peak value, it''s 30 thousand for one," Stonefeather said coolly.


    Kong Yun''s expression changed drastically and he said in terror, "P-Peak value? How is this possible?"


    Peak value, only under the circumstances of completing divine-grade, would the reward be given.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s ten missions all reached divine-grade?


    Missions that even elders could not complete, how was this possible?


    Stonefeather''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Kong Yun, could it be that you''re questioning this elder?"


    Kong Yun''s expression changed and he hurriedly said, "D-Dare not! I just �� just ��"


    Stonefeather gave a cold snort and said, "Rather than being jealous of men of talent, why not spend more time on cultivation! I hpe that today''s events will sound a wake-up call for you all!"


    Finished talking, Stonefeather turned around and left.


    Ye Yuan looked at Kong Yun and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Now, try saying the words you said yesterday loudly again?"


    When Kong Yun heard that, his entire face became incomparably embarrassed.


    He was still pledging in all seriousness yesterday, saying that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to complete the missions.


    The reason why he dared to be so arrogant was that he was certain there was no way Ye Yuan could finish any of the ten missions.


    But today, not only did Ye Yuan complete it, furthermore, he completed it in a terrifyingly brilliant manner, too perfectly.


    Seeing Kong Yun''s appearance, Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, "A coward who has the balls to say, but doesn''t have the balls to act! If you don''t have strength, don''t posture in front of others; you''ll get slapped! If you can complete 7-star missions, come in front of me to raise a hue at that time."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swaggered off.


    ...


    Coming out of Tianlu Pavilion, Ye Yuan was stopped by the white-haired old man again.


    With the first time, there was naturally the second time, the third time.


    Ever since that time, each time Ye Yuan came out of Tianlu Pavilion, he would be stopped by the white-haired old man who sat down and debated on the Dao with him.


    Because he discovered that Ye Yuan''s insights were extremely unique and could often set people thinking.


    Some areas of doubts and omissions he had in the past also had a feeling of becoming enlightened at once.


    Before encountering Ye Yuan, the white-haired old man thought that he had already thoroughly understood the Tianlu Pavilion''s classics.


    All the way until that time he tested Ye Yuan, he discovered that he actually still had many questions that he did not understand thoroughly.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was also willing to approach it with this white-haired old man.


    This old man''s attainments in demon divine pills were absolutely extraordinary.


    To Ye Yuan, a novice, the white-haired old man''s guidance tend to give him a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the moonlight.


    This kind of exchange was naturally greatly beneficial to the two.


    Ye Yuan''s improvement being so fast was not unrelated to this white-haired old man.


    After a bout of intense discussions, the white-haired old man suddenly said, "I heard that this half a year, you questioned the various elders during their sermons, making them unable to step down?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That will depend on how you view the matter. Actually, I feel that raising questions when you have them, all can discuss together and improve together. This is a good thing. It''s just that to some elders who have already been famous for a long time, face is clearly more important than strength."


    The white-haired old man burst into laughter when he heard it and said, "Well said! Those fools think that they are number one under the heavens, but they don''t know that there''s heaven beyond heaven, and that there''s always someone better! Their Alchemy Dao is merely but some superficial knowledge!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior always felt that talent can have differences, but attitude can completely have no differences. Hiding your problems and not taking remedial measures, one can only come to a standstill. The disciple doesn''t need to be inferior to the master, the master doesn''t need to be inferior to the disciple. Some of the student''s insights can perhaps let the teacher have another bout of gains. It''s just that they insist that I''m causing trouble,so I also can''t do anything about it."


    The white-haired old man chortled with laughter and said, "You, brat, are really different from the rest! But I heard that they have already joined hands, planning to teach you a good lesson. You have to be a little more careful."


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, "Teach me a lesson? How so?"


    The white-haired old man lightly stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Have you heard of the eternal chess game ''Ask Not''?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head, clearly not having the slightest clue about this.

 1761 Eternal Chess Game Ask Not

    The white-haired old man changed to a fascinated expression and slowly said, "50 million years ago, my demon race''s Sacred Ancestor High Priest attained Dao. In order to right the demon race''s name, he went to challenge the human race''s Medicine Ancestor! Who knew that these two created a new path, and actually integrated Alchemy Dao into Go, playing an eternal chess game called ''Ask Not''!"


    When he heard that, Ye Yuan said in surprise, "Challenging the Medicine Ancestor! The demon race''s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was actually so powerful?"


    The white-haired old man''s face fell, and he said with a black face, "What do you mean? Could it be that our demon race deserves to be worse than your human race?"


    Ye Yuan laughed awkwardly and said, "Huhu, Senior, don''t blame me. Junior has always heard that the Medicine Ancestor is only half a step away from stepping into the realm of Dao Ancestor. So I instinctively thought that the Medicine Ancestor is this Heavenspan World''s strongest alchemist."


    In reality, even Dustless was also not clear how powerful the demon race''s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was.


    After all, in the eyes of these top characters, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was merely a junior too.


    When the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest played chess, the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was still at no idea which faraway corner. There was also no Immortal Grove World.


    The white-haired old man huffed, but his expression became much more relaxed. Letting out a sigh, he said, "Actually, what you thought is also right. Even though the Sacred Ancestor High Priest was powerful, he was still a hair inferior to the Medicine Ancestor in the end. This game of chess, it was still the Sacred Ancestor High Priest who lost in the end."


    Ye Yuan was secretly startled. He completely did not expect that the demon race''s Sacred Ancestor High Priest was actually so powerful, to be able to contend with the Medicine Ancestor in Alchemy Dao.


    In the notion that Dustless indoctrinated to Ye Yuan, the Medicine Ancestor was an invincible existence. It was completely impossible for there to be someone who could rival him in Alchemy Dao.


    One had to know, he was an extraordinary person who had half a foot stepped into Dao Ancestor Realm.


    In Alchemy Dao, he could be said to be standing at the apex of this world.


    However, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest could actually play with the Medicine Ancestor and only lose by a hair.


    This strength, you probably could not find a second one in the entire Heavenspan World.


    "Senior, losing is losing, why was this chess game called ''Ask Not''?" Ye Yuan asked.


    "And then?" Ye Yuan said.


    "It was said that the Sacred Ancestor High Priest had always taken this to heart and wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge and redress hatred. But he also knew that his gap from the Medicine Ancestor. Hence, after the returned to the demon race, he established the Priest Temple and took in disciples extensively, in hopes of being able to groom an existence who could contend with the Medicine Ancestor. At the same time, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest even reduced the complexity, engraving many copies of ''Ask Not'', and distributed them to each Priest Temple. As long as someone could crack ''Ask Not'', they would have the qualifications to directly enter the Priest Temple''s headquarters," said the white-haired old man.


    "So that''s how it is. Looks like the elders want me to beat a retreat in the face of overwhelming odds against me," Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    The white-haired old man said with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you scared?"


    Ye Yuan smiled as he looked at the white-haired old man and suddenly said, "That day, when Hall Master Di Qiu wanted to kill me, it should have been Senior who helped me resolve my predicament, right?"


    The white-haired old man was slightly stunned, then immediately pointed at Ye Yuan and said with a loud laugh, "I knew that it couldn''t hide from you, this brat!"


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "Junior thanks Senior for your life-saving grace. However, we''ve already known each other for more than half a year and Ye Yuan still doesn''t know Senior''s name."


    The white-haired old man said coolly, "This old man has a single character name, Xiu. You can call me Senior Xiu."


    Ye Yuan said knowingly, "Senior Xiu goading me is hoping for me to go and attempt it?"


    Xiu smiled and said, "For 50 million years, those who could crack the simplified ''Ask Not'' were only 11 people! These 11 people are presently all disciples under the Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and also the backbone of our demon race''s alchemists. It''s just a shame that these 11 people studied for tens of millions of years and are also unable to crack the real ''Ask Not''."


    "50 million years and only 11 people, so how does Senior know that I can crack it?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Xiu shook his head and said, "Even the ''Ask Not'' after simplification studies the mysteries of creation, opens up the mysteries of Great Dao, ordinary people can''t pass it at all. A single misstep and one will even lose their lives on their spot. You''re endowed with unusual intelligence; your views are unique, I think maybe �� you have a possibility of passing it. How about it? Have the guts to give it a try?"


    In this half a year, Xiu sat down and debated on Dao with Ye Yuan. The more they talked, the more he took advantage of the opportunity.


    And as time went on, he also became more confident in Ye Yuan''s talent.


    Hence, that was why he supported Ye Yuan to attempt it.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "How can this kind of thing need Senior to goad? If I had long known that there was such a chess game, I''d probably have long been unable to stand it and went to attempt it."


    Hearing Ye Yuan said so, Xiu''s expression became solemn instead and he said, "Brat, I know that you''re exceedingly talented. But don''t look down on this ''Ask Not''! For 50 million years, the geniuses who died under this ''Ask Not'', can probably drown an imperial capital when added up!"


    This chess game was the game of two supreme powerhouses. The perils contained inside were naturally all-pervasive.


    This kind of chess game, dull talents were fine instead.


    But once those outstandingly talented ones get caught inside, integrating into the game between the two, it would be extremely dangerous, fatal pitfalls hidden everywhere.


    So, the higher the talent, the more miserably one would die instead.


    That Ni Kun resorting to this move was actually wanting to borrow ''Ask Not'' to kill Ye Yuan.


    After all, the talent that Ye Yuan exhibited, everyone all saw it.


    Ni Kin did not like Ye Yuan, but it did not mean that he did not acknowledge Ye Yuan''s alchemy talent.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Where the Dao lies, even if tens of millions oppose, I''ll also march forward bravely! If I don''t even have this bit of courage, how can I talk about achieving the Great Dao?"


    Xiu smacked his thigh when he heard it and said with a big laugh, "Good! This old man indeed didn''t misjudge you!"


    ...


    When Ye Yuan found Ni Kun, saying that he wanted to challenge ''Ask Not'', Ni Kun was shocked inwardly.


    He was currently plotting on how to force Ye Yuan to challenge ''Ask Not''. He did not expect that Ye Yuan delivered himself to the door.


    This act made him somewhat stunned.


    "You really want to challenge ''Ask Not''?" Ni Kun said in astonishment.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Isn''t this precisely what you hope for?"


    Ni Kun was taken aback and blurted out, "You know this too �� uh ��"


    Ni Kun panicked, discovering that he divulged it.


    Wasn''t this equivalent to admitting that this matter was him inciting it at the back?


    This kid was shrewd and crafty, really impossible to guard against.


    Actually, whether he admitted it or not, Ye Yuan did not care.


    This matter, Xiu already told Ye Yuan. Otherwise, he also would not know the dangers involved, and naturally would not know Ni Kun''s diligence.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Elder Ni Kun, why don''t we make an agreement? How about that?"


    Ni Kun''s expression was somewhat ugly as he said in a solemn voice, "What do you want to agree on?"


    Ye Yuan said, "If I fail, I won''t speak again during the elders'' sermons in the future. If I succeed by a fluke, all of the elders'' sermons, everyone can speak freely as they wish! What do you think?"

 1762 I, Ye Yuan, Wont Be a Chess Piece!

    "You actually don''t know such a major incident? That Ye Yuan who''s known as the temple''s number one genius is actually going to challenge ''Ask Not''!"


    "What? Isn''t this looking for abuse? Back then, Kuang Fei who was known as an unrivaled genius nearly died on the spot because he challenged ''Ask Not.'' In the end, he recuperated for a full 100 years before barely managing to recover."


    "Heh, ''Ask Not'' is a vial of poison. Everyone knows that it''s dangerous, but there''s always someone who tries it. The more talented, the more it is so."


    "Such a major thing, I have to go see!"


    ...


    One person told ten, ten told a hundred.


    The news of Ye Yuan challenging the divine game ''Ask Not'' spreaded throughout the entire Priest Temple very quickly.


    In the plaza, the elders were all present.


    Ni Kun looked at Ye Yuan, a look of gloating over his misfortune.


    He naturally knew that these so-called geniuses were all proud.


    He was the same back then.


    Recollecting back then, he was also extraordinarily gifted, thinking that he was the number one under the heavens. That was why he would go challenge ''Ask Not''.


    The outcome naturally need not be said.


    How similar was Ye Yuan''s current appearance to his back then?


    Di Qiu looked at Ye Yuan and said in a hoarse voice, "Ye Yuan, you have to think clearly. Upon entering the chess game, life and death are unknown! The geniuses who died inside are too many to count!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Lord Hall Master, please cast the spell!"


    Di Qiu saw the decisive look on Ye Yuan''s face and no longer urged him. A profound spell soared to the sky.


    A chessboard gradually became bigger, flying out of Di Qiu''s palm, and landing in the center of the plaza.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked over, but he only saw that that stone chessboard was very ordinary. It was no different from an ordinary chessboard.


    On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces were crisscrossed, murderous intent faintly looming, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.


    Ye Yuan only took one look and was no longer able to leave.


    Ye Yuan was also a master in this aspect. Alchemy was dull and dry, when Ye Yuan was free and had nothing to do, he would play chess to temper his heart realm.


    As the saying went: A myriad of Great Daos, all led to the same goal.


    A tiny little chessboard actually contained the maxim of Great Dao.


    Tian Yuan[1] as chaos, crisscrossing in vertical and horizontal directions, deriving a myriad Great Dao!


    Actually, this was a universe!


    Ye Yuan knew that this chess competition was actually the competition between the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, the two people''s Dao.


    No matter where the next piece landed, it was a certain-death scenario.


    No wonder the Sacred Ancestor High Priest sat in front of the chess game for 100 thousand years back then.


    No way to advance, unable to retreat, the Medicine Ancestor already forced the Sacred Ancestor High Priest to the edge of the cliff!


    "This kind of chess game, there were actually 11 people who passed it?"


    Ye Yuan was extremely shocked in his heart. Even though it was the simplified ''Ask Not'', Ye Yuan could tell that this chess game was simply a certain-death scenario.


    Those 11 people were actually able to pass the test, how astonishing was their talent?


    "Heh heh, scared? If you back out now, you can still make it!" Ni Kun said with a cold smile.


    "Ye Yuan, concede defeat! Don''t overestimate your own ability!" Elder Li said with a smug look.


    The other elders were also cynical. Regarding Ye Yuan''s actions that were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, they were all disdainful toward him.


    Ye Yuan sneered when he heard that and said, "You guys can''t, doesn''t mean others can''t! Since there are people who passed the test, then there''s naturally a ray of hope! Can''t pass, it can only be blamed you guys for being too stupid, unable to find a ray of hope!"


    This bunch of old fellows wished that he would die in the chess game.


    Saying so was merely in order to trigger him. Why would he show these elders a good attitude?


    "Insolence! Ye Yuan, who do you think you''re talking to?" Ni Kun said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ni Kun and said with a smile, "You schemed day and night to make me come and challenge ''Ask Not'', isn''t it wanting me to fall inside? If I die, I''d also be someone who''s about to die right now, what''s the big deal about saying a thing or two about you? If I really make it through, scolding you a few words is even less of a matter. Don''t you agree, Elder Ni?"


    Ni Kun was taken aback when he heard that. But he immediately smiled coldly and said, "Perhaps you''ll be half-dead?"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Then isn''t that exactly to Elder Ni''s taste?"


    Ni Kun burst out laughing when he heard it and said, "I didn''t expect that you''re still pretty humorous."


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly, leaped up, and landed on the chessboard.


    "Buzz!"


    Instantly, the situation suddenly changed!


    The entire chessboard was seemingly being activated.


    Waves of dense aura rose out of thin air. Each chess piece seemed to have come to life.


    In front of Ye Yuan seemingly became hordes of troops and horses. The two armies galloped and fought at close quarters, incomparably brutal.


    Even if Ye Yuan utilized the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, it was of no use at all too.


    With his strength, he could not see through at all.


    Suddenly, two surges of aura that was formidable until it made people suffocate suddenly descended.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion turned pale and he vomited a large mouthful of blood with a cough.


    In front of Ye Yuan, an enormous figure rose from the ground up. A pair of enormous eyes cast toward Ye Yuan.


    This giant image was clearly in front of Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan actually could not see it clearly.


    "This is the Sacred Ancestor High Priest? So strong!" Ye Yuan said while being in shock in his heart.


    Ye Yuan knew that this was merely a wisp of willpower transformed by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    But this trace of will was too powerful already. It actually made him have a feeling of being unable to match it.


    "Lad, exterminate the Medicine Ancestor''s will with my will! I will bestow upon you a transcendent lucky chance!"


    The enormous image slowly opened his mouth, his tone matchlessly domineering.


    Done talking, a pair of enormous hands landed from the sky.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. He felt that his own will was instantly crushed by a giant mountain, and was about to be crushed into a meat pie!


    Unparalleled willpower!


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You want me to submit and let me become a chess piece in your hands! This is simply a certain-win game. It''s merely in order to let the challenger accept your will, that''s all!"


    The giant image said without the slightest emotion, "So what? Can''t even withstand this seat''s will, so how can you become an existence that transcends the Medicine Ancestor?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression flickered incessantly and he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Ye Yuan, won''t be a chess piece!"


    Ye Yuan''s challenge was to clear the hurdle with his own strength, and not rely on other people!


    He had never needed to take on other people''s will before!


    The giant image snorted coldly and said, "Powerhouses all start from chess pieces! In this place, it''s not up to you! This seat is the chess game''s sovereign!"


    This simplified ''Ask Not'' was set up by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest in the first place.


    This chess game was controlled by him and not the Medicine Ancestor.


    Only the true ''Ask Not'' was a chess game controlled by the Medicine Ancestor.


    In this place, if the Sacred Ancestor High Priest wanted you to live, you live. If he wanted you to die, you would die!


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "My, Ye Yuan''s fate, has always been grasped in my own hands! A chess piece, I won''t deign to become it! Even if you''re the Sacred Ancestor High Priest, it won''t do too!"


    The giant image gave a cold snort and said, "What an arrogant and unruly punk. Not accepting my will, the outcome is only death!"


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s voice was incomparably cold as if killing Ye Yuan was merely a matter of waving a hand.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was cold as he said in a chilly voice, "In that case, go ahead and try!"


    [1] A position in Go

 1763 Replacing

    The moment the chess game started, everything would be hidden.


    The chessboard radiated a brilliant light, projecting above the sky, forming an enormous chessboard.


    Similarly, two giant illusions were currently facing each other in the sky, the momentum astonishing.


    The chess game already started for a long time, but both parties still did not move.


    Stonefeather frowned and said, "What''s going on? It hasn''t started until now?"


    Ni Kun said with a gloating face, "This brat wouldn''t be unable to withstand Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will, right? Looks like this brat has an excess of talent but is lacking willpower!"


    What this simplified ''Ask Not'' tested was the Alchemy Dao will of the priests.


    The more firm one''s Dao seeking heart was, the more steps one could take.


    Now, Ye Yuan could not even take a single step. It clearly showed that his willpower was weak and he was completely unable to withstand the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s peerless will.


    Below, in the crowd, Xiu''s brows were also knitted together.


    "What''s going on with this kid? Could it be that he''s really unable to even withstand Lord Sacred Ancestor''s initial-most will? Could it be that �� I misjudged him?"


    Clearly, he was also extremely perplexed by this scene.


    But Kong Yun laughed loudly and said, "This kid wouldn''t have been directly crushed by Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will, right? Genius? What a joke!"


    The Chi Feng by the side also smiled coldly and said, "If he was directly crushed, then it will really become the biggest joke in the history of the demon race! Such a genius actually couldn''t even withstand the initial-most will. It''s also considered unprecedented and unrepeatable, right?"


    Outside, many people were all gloating over others'' misfortune.


    But inside ''Ask Not'', Ye Yuan had a resolute look, welcoming that powerful virtual image.


    "Not being a chess piece, one must have the strength that crushes all life! You are no good! Since you cling obstinately to your own course, then suffer this seat''s wrath!"


    The moment the giant image''s voice faded, it was as if the whole world collapsed.


    A powerful willpower directly crushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    This burst of willpower descending was like the sky collapsed, heaven and earth changing colors.


    At this time, the Soul Suppressing Pearl emitted a gentle energy, wrapping Ye Yuan''s divine soul up.


    Although this willpower was strong, it was not the real ''Ask Not'' after all.


    With Dustless''s current ability, he could completely isolate this willpower.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, "Senior, you don''t have to be like this! In terms of willpower strength, I, Ye Yuan, absolutely don''t lose to anybody! Even if it is the Sacred Ancestor High Priest!"


    That willpower, which could topple mountains and overturn the seas, directly scoured over toward Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    Buzz!


    Ye Yuan only felt his mind go into a daze, his entire person akin to being thunderstruck, spewing out a mouthful of blood once more.


    "Kneel!" A thunderous voice ordered Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    However, Ye Yuan was like a stubborn rock in a waterfall that stood firmly. No matter how powerful this will was, he simply remained immovable.


    "Heh, I, Ye Yuan, don''t even kneel to heaven. So why would I kneel to you? If I''m not even a match for a wisp of your remnant thought, how can I save my lover?!"


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth. A surge of stubborn willpower surged to the sky!


    Gradually, the imposing momentum on Ye Yuan''s body actually became stronger and stronger, and actually faintly showed signs of withstanding the sacred ancestor''s will.


    This was a competition of willpower!


    Ye Yuan entered the Heavenspan World in order to save Mu Lingxue.


    For this, he must walk up to the summit of the Heavenspan Mountain, and also must have absolute strength.


    Living two lives, experiencing bumpy roads, Ye Yuan would not really entrust his hopes onto the Dao Ancestors.


    Ye Yuan understood the logic. The one who could truly save Mu Lingxue was only him!


    Therefore, he could not lose to anyone!


    All beneath Dao Ancestors were ants!


    Someone as powerful as the Sacred Ancestor High Priest was also merely a chess piece.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan possessed the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and created a peerless cultivation method. His horizons were absolutely not what the average martial artist could compare to.


    He faintly had a feeling that even Dao Ancestors might also be chess pieces in this world''s overall situation!


    He, Ye Yuan, was unwilling to be a pawn!


    He wanted to dictate his own destiny!


    This clash of will, the hardest was the initial-most one.


    Once pulled through, it was far from as intense as at first.


    "Eh?"


    A soft cry of surprise came from the void. It clearly felt very surprised at Ye Yuan not being crushed into pieces.


    "Looks like this seat underestimated you! Since that''s the case, suffer this seat''s wrath!"


    The giant image gave a cold snort. Pointing his enormous finger, a majestic power of Great Dao carried powerful will and rumbled toward Ye Yuan once more.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent, a hint of cold smile flashing across the corners of his mouth as he said, "This is your Dao? Indeed powerful! It''s just that to me, it''s merely thus!"


    Ye Yuan put his two hands together, a massive Tai Chi Diagram suddenly unfolded!


    "Tai Chi Great Dao Diagram! How is this possible?!"


    Shock appeared for the first time in the giant image''s words.


    He was seriously unable to understand how a junior who was just Divine Lord Realm could cultivate the Tai Chi Great Dao Diagram, this sort of thing!


    Bang!


    The sacred ancestor''s Great Dao and Ye Yuan''s Tai Chi Great Dao Diagram emitted violent collisions in this stretch of void.


    The earth quaked and mountains swayed!


    At the same time, the outside world''s chessboard similarly gave off intense quaking.


    It was as if the chessboard was about to collapse.


    Xiu''s expression changed drastically and he revealed a thick look of disappointment as he said, "This �� He really can''t even lay down a single chess piece?"


    "Hahaha, this kid actually boasted shamelessly about wanting to challenge ''Ask Not''. In the end, he actually didn''t even set down a single piece, what a hoot!" Ni Kun said and laughed loudly.


    The other elders also secretly shook their heads. Clearly, they felt that this was a farce.


    Kong Yun also had a mocking look as he laughed loudly and said, "What''s called overestimating your own ability? This is called overestimating your own ability! Didn''t put down a single piece and was wiped out by Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will. This time �� it''s really unprecedented and unrepeatable!"


    Chi Feng laughed hard and said, "Our Tyrant Origin Imperial City has to keep this secret well. Otherwise, it will be really disgraceful."


    Bang!


    Right at this time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s phantom suddenly shattered, turning into motes of starlight, dissipating between heaven and earth.


    Xiu''s expression changed and he said in surprise, "This �� What''s going on? Logically speaking, this game should have already ended. Why �� is the Medicine Ancestor''s phantom still there, but Lord Sacred Ancestor''s phantom actually crumbled?"


    His skill was profound, what he saw was naturally far from what others could compare to.


    This scene seemed to be different from his understanding.


    It seemed to be somewhat unusual!


    Suddenly, his pupils shrunk, gaze looked towards the void in amazement.


    The place where Sacred Ancestor High Priest shattered originally, a figure was actually gradually condensing!


    "This �� How is this possible?"


    Xiu looked towards the sky in incredible shock. That figure gradually condensed.


    Judging from the outline, it was actually exactly similar to Ye Yuan''s!


    That enormous chessboard''s two sides were now replaced with the Medicine Ancestor and Ye Yuan!


    Same as Xiu''s expression, everyone below all had astonished looks, being taken by surprise by this sudden change!

 1764 A Lousy Chess Move

    Different from the Medicine Ancestor''s vagueness and illusoriness, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared extremely solid.


    One look and you could tell that he was Ye Yuan!


    "This �� What''s going on here? Why did the one playing with the Medicine Ancestor become Ye Yuan?"


    "Are you kidding me? Ye Yuan is actually going to replace Lord Sacred Ancestor and play with the Medicine Ancestor?"


    "Never heard of anyone who could replace Lord Sacred Ancestor. What in the world happened inside the chess game? Why would such a thing happen?"


    ...


    At this time, the Priest Temple was in shock.


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest and Medicine Ancestor had already played for 50 million years. In the long river of history, the geniuses who had challenged ''Ask Not'' before were God knows how many.


    There were even 11 people who really succeeded in challenging.


    But it had never been heard of that someone could replace Lord Sacred Ancestor and play against the Medicine Ancestor!


    This kind of thing, saying it out, no one would believe it.


    Today, it actually really happened before their eyes.


    How could this not surprise them?


    However, this was not over yet!


    Opposite, the Medicine Ancestor''s aura started to skyrocket. An aura of Great Dao spread out between heaven and earth.


    When everyone saw this scene, their faces could not help changing suddenly.


    Xiu had a look of shock as he muttered, "This �� Without Lord Sacred Ancestor''s absolute suppression, the Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulations are fully released! This is a showdown between Ye Yuan and the Medicine Ancestor! How in the world did this kid do it?"


    Xiu knew that this was just the ''Ask Not'' after simplification.


    The Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulations were less than 1% of the true ''Ask Not''!


    But even so, it was also not what the average person could imagine.


    Otherwise, there also would not be only a scanty 11 people who could pass the test in 50 million years.


    However, the tests in the past were all the Sacred Ancestor High Priest forcefully suppressing the Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulations with his absolute power.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, this ''Ask Not'' was a certain-win situation in the first place.


    The only problem was whether or not the challenger could bear his willpower oppression.


    However, once the Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulations lost the suppression, that was the real Medicine Ancestor!


    Even though it was just an extremely tiny portion of the Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulations.


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant. But without a doubt, for Ye Yuan to be able to replace him, it was not what the average person could do!


    "Could it be that Ye Yuan wiped away Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will?"


    This was something impossible!


    Back then, he had experienced first-hand the might of Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will.


    That kind of might simply made people unable to give rise to the slightest thought of resistance.


    If say his own will was an ant, then Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will was a tall mountain!


    Between the two, resistance, this relationship, did not exist at all.


    There was only submission!


    Ye Yuan''s current strength was even lesser than his back then. How could he possibly wipe away Lord Sacred Ancestor''s will?


    But in Ni Kun''s heart, there was a different voice continuously creeping.


    ...


    Within the chess game, a 100 thousand foot giant towered opposite Ye Yuan.


    The aura was more than a hundred times stronger than before!


    "Interesting. I didn''t expect that in this world, there''s actually someone capable of releasing a trace of this seat''s residual Dao accumulation under Wing''s hands! You are probably the first in these 50 million years, right?"


    Above the sky, a pair of eyes like two bright beacons in the dark night cast toward Ye Yuan.


    Those eyes overlooked the world!


    Even if it was just a trace of residual Dao accumulation. It did not even count as a remnant thought.


    This kind of eyes that was like looking at an ant made Ye Yuan very uncomfortable.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I''ve long heard that the Medicine Ancestor''s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled under the heavens. Today, this Ye wishes to ask for advice!"


    That phantom revealed a hint of surprise and said with a faint smile, "Ask for advice? Huhu, junior, you''re not qualified enough!"


    His words were full of contempt.


    Medicine Ancestor, he was the proud Medicine Ancestor.


    Even though this was like a residual Dao accumulation from 50 million years ago, his pride was still irreplaceable.


    He was the man who stood at the apex of this world''s Alchemy Dao.


    Actually, the ones he looked down upon were more than just Ye Yuan.


    Even the Sacred Ancestor High Priest from 50 million years ago, he probably thought nothing of him as well, right?


    ''Ask Not'' two words already expressed this contempt without any doubt.


    Most likely, this was also the true reason why the Sacred Ancestor High Priest reflected on the bitter lesson and resolved to surpass the Medicine Ancestor, right?


    This humiliation, to the Sacred Ancestor High Priest, this kind of proud demon race powerhouse, it was probably not so easy to wash away.


    However, the current Ye Yuan could also truly feel the might of this Medicine Ancestor before his eyes!


    Without the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s suppression, this Medicine Ancestor in front of him was even stronger than that Sacred Ancestor High Priest from before.


    Towards this pride, Ye Yuan was naturally very disdainful and said coolly, "Haven''t competed yet, so how do you know that I''m not qualified enough?"


    Finished talking, he did not wait for the Medicine Ancestor to answer either and pointed out. A black chess piece condensed out of the void!


    Smack!


    A crisp sound echoed throughout the world!


    A surge of Great Dao aura crept out!


    When the piece landed, the entire chessboard flashed with a piercing light.


    Two powerful auras rose to the sky. It was as if all of the chess pieces came to life.


    On the whole board, hordes of troops and horses galloped, winds howling heavily.


    Two Great Dao auras fought each other in close quarters, rending each other, neither was willing to give in half a step.


    Within an extremely tiny space, the melody of Great Dao manifested in its entirety.


    The Medicine Ancestor''s gaze turned sharp and he cried out in shock, "Tian Yuan[1]! Junior, you have such courage! This is digging your own grave!"


    Smack!


    Above the void, light flashed!


    Ye Yuan''s phantom landed a piece, going straight for Tian Yuan.


    Below, everyone exclaimed in shock, "Tian Yuan!"


    When Ni Kun saw this scene, he smiled coldly and said, "This kid is a total layman! Playing Tian Yuan in such a final phase of the game, what difference is there from courting death?"


    Di Qiu also shook his head and said, "Took the field shockingly, I was still wondering how greatly different this kid was. I didn''t expect that he was actually so bad. With this defeat, it''s likely hard to survive!"


    Ye Yuan''s chess move was seen as a wasted move by everyone.


    This ''Ask Not'' game was actually set up anew by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest himself after going back many steps.


    Each step had its set routine.


    Putting it bluntly, it was retracting a false move in chess!


    As long as one could withstand the sacred ancestor''s will, they could become a chess piece in the sacred ancestor''s hands, walking on step by step until they won.


    Except, few could withstand the willpower of that many steps.


    But now, Ye Yuan''s move completely exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    Of course, there were many people present who knew chess.


    This step landing in everyone''s eyes was a wasted move.


    One had to know how astonishing the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s chess prowess and Dao accumulation was. The steps that he derived were definitely the most perfect steps.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually wanted to blaze another trail.


    Furthermore, he even played a lousy move. How could they not be surprised/


    Black and white, Tian Yuan was a hotly contested spot!


    This game was also a fierce struggle launched revolving around Tian Yuan.


    But no one dared to take Tian Yuan first!


    Even the Medicine Ancestor did not dare too!


    Because that way, there would be no path to retreat.


    But Ye Yuan did it without the slightest hesitation!


    [1] Tian Yuan is a chess move in Go.

 1765 Breaking Out of the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly

    Ye Yuan stared into the sky, the corners of his mouth revealing faint mockery.


    The other party was merely a trace of residual Dao accumulation. Really don''t know where his confidence came from.


    "Humph! Ignorant junior, since you''re wholeheartedly seeking death, then this ancestor will send you on your way!"


    The Medicine Ancestor''s voice carried thick sullen anger.


    Smack!


    A white piece landed, the situation suddenly changed on the entire chessboard again!


    Only to see the white piece turn into thousands of martial artists rushing over, their momentum imposing.


    On Ye Yuan''s side, the black pieces also transformed into countless black-clothed martial artists.


    Both sides launched a dreadful slaughter.


    Except, the Medicine Ancestor was indeed worthy of being the Medicine Ancestor. His white pieces already took the advantage.


    This piece landed. It immediately launched an encirclement against Ye Yuan''s Tian Yuan and already showed trends of turning his advantage into victory.


    Smack!


    Ye Yuan landed another piece without the slightest hesitation, seemingly without going through any thought at all.


    But this piece did not unfold around Tian Yuan but instead landed ten thousand miles away.


    It was completely unrelated to that Tian Yuan move earlier.


    "Ignorant! Now, you know how foolish that move just now was, right? However, you already don''t have regret medicine that you can eat. Placing a piece, this round has started!"


    The Medicine Ancestor''s words were full of ridicule and disdain.


    While talking, another piece landed.


    The white-clothed martial artists'' imposing momentum grew even stronger and soared significantly once more, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. It was all the white-clothed martial artists'' figures, their momentum extremely shocking.


    Smack!


    Ye Yuan landed another piece and said with a faint smile, "In my dictionary, there''s no word ''regret''! Wait until you defeat me before bragging!"


    ...


    Above the sky, the two people played off.


    The white pieces'' odds of winning grew higher and higher. The black pieces were at a disadvantage to begin with. Now, it was even encroached upon by the white pieces little by little.


    When the priests of the temple saw this scene, each and every one revealed disdainful looks.


    "This Ye Yuan is too weak! His Dao isn''t worth mentioning at all in front of the Medicine Ancestor!"


    "Yeah, this is called overestimating your own ability, right? What kind of existence is the Medicine Ancestor? Even Lord Sacred Ancestor wasn''t his match, what right does he have!"


    Medicine Ancestor, even in the demon race, he was also a figure at the absolute summit of this world.


    This game had nothing to do with strength, only alchemy.


    But in this world, whose attainments in alchemy could be mentioned in the same breath with the Medicine Ancestor?


    Hence, Ye Yuan was out and out overrating his own ability.


    Ni Kun looked at the gradually losing black pieces and said with a cold smile, "This game is the showdown of Dao. The most pieces lost, the greater the Medicine Ancestor''s Dao accumulation''s impact on him. According to this current trend, it''s likely one-sided! This brat is dead for sure!"


    "Wouldn''t die if he didn''t seek death! The chess path that Lord Sacred Ancestor deduced, who can surpass it in this world? Yet, he took unnecessary actions, insisting on playing against the Medicine Ancestor himself. This is really courting death. You look at his chess moves, not only was it not thought through, it doesn''t have any methodology at all. It''s simply messing around." Elder Li said with a scornful look.


    Ni Kun smiled and said, "Geniuses are all proud. But he also doesn''t weigh who his opponent is!"


    On the chessboard, Ye Yuan placed his pieces extremely quickly, without thinking at all.


    Black versus white, each step was doubly cautious.


    Back then, this game that the Sacred Ancestor High Priest and Medicine Ancestor two people played lasted as long as 100 years.


    And the final piece, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest even sat dully for 100 thousand years!


    This was longer than the lifespan of mortals.


    Xiu looked at that game of chess and could not resist shaking his head slightly as he sighed and said, "This boy is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, unwilling to submit to anyone. Too tough and it''s easily broken!"


    Xiu was shrewd with age. Although Ye Yuan was immersed in the chess game, he already saw through many things.


    Ye Yuan was unwilling to be a pawn, that was why he seized control of the black pieces.


    Now, facing the Medicine Ancestor, this kind of peerlessly powerful expert, how was there the logic of not being defeated?


    Smack!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan landed another piece!


    Xiu''s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    "Mn? This �� What''s going on here? That Tian Yuan move �� came �� came to life!"


    Xiu looked at the chessboard, eyes full of disbelief.


    He suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan''s initial-most lousy move actually connected all of the dead positions together goodness knows when!


    The originally self-alienating move actually became a brilliant move of chess unknowingly.


    After several dozen rounds, the Medicine Ancestor already slaughtered Ye Yuan until he threw away his helmet and coat of mail, in a state of confusion.


    On the chessboard, the black pieces were deathly still everywhere.


    But after Ye Yuan placed this piece just now.


    All came to life!


    One pool of stagnant water after another finally converged at the Tian Yuan area, connecting to form a vast ocean!


    The situation suddenly changed!


    The Medicine Ancestor stopped!


    The Medicine Ancestor''s fingers condensed a piece but did not land it for a long time.


    "Mn? What''s going on? Why did the Medicine Ancestor stop?"


    "Another few pieces and Ye Yuan will utterly lose, right?"


    "The white pieces already took the absolute initiative, there''s nothing to consider already, right?"


    ...


    Many priests and trainees whose chess prowesses were lacking did not see through the marvelous aspect of that Tian Yuan move at all.


    However, Di Qiu and the group of elders, each and every one of their faces changed drastically. Looking at that black piece in the center of the chessboard, their eyes were full of shock.


    At this time, the black piece at Tian Yuan was akin to a blazing sun in the dark night; incomparably dazzling.


    No one could have expected that that seemingly useless chess move actually revived all of the declining trends at this time!


    Ni Kun''s face was ashen as he said in shock, "He �� How did he do it?"


    Everyone had this question in their hearts. How in the world did Ye Yuan do it?


    ...


    "You �� How did you do it?"


    On the chessboard, the Medicine Ancestor asked everyone''s question.


    From the Medicine Ancestor''s tone, one could also hear that his current shock was not the least bit less than those people outside.


    He sized himself up that Dao magical arts were extremely formidable. Each step was the development of Dao.


    With his accomplishments in Dao, he actually fell into Ye Yuan''s trap and did not have self-awareness.


    This kind of means, how could he not be shocked?


    This was a game of chess, but also a showdown of Dao.


    The chess players understood heaven and earth clearly, developing Great Dao.


    Each step contained heaven''s secrets.


    He was the Medicine Ancestor, being able to do this was not surprising.


    But Ye Yuan, a mere Divine Lord Realm junior, was still 108 thousand miles away from Great Dao.


    What right did he have to be able to do it to this step?


    No, wait, Ye Yuan''s Dao was even more profound than him and went even deeper.


    Thinking now, before Ye Yuan placed his piece, he had probably seen through the entire chess game already.


    Hence, that was why he would land the piece on Tian Yuan without the slightest hesitation.


    And it was precisely this Tian Yuan move that reduced the situation he mastermind with painstaking effort to naught!


    This move was too amazing!


    The crucial piece from a wasted chess move to reviving the whole board, this Tian Yuan move simply completed the transformation of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.


    He could only be convinced!


    Because Ye Yuan saw what he could not see!


    Ye Yuan looked at the Medicine Ancestor and said coolly, "This is a showdown of Dao. Being able to do it is naturally because I''m standing higher than you, and I can see further than you! Honestly speaking, you somewhat disappoint me!"

 1766 12th Person!

    If let the people outside hear it, that was absolutely a sentence like a bolt out of the blue.


    Except, the current Ye Yuan was indeed very disappointed.


    Ever since learning from Dustless that the Heavenspan World''s strongest alchemist was the Medicine Ancestor, Ye Yuan wanted to compete with him one day very much.


    But this battle today was not fun.


    That Tian Yuan move landing already determined the outcome.


    This was simply a game of unequal strength.


    Of course, this was not because the Medicine Ancestor''s strength was not strong, but because this simplified ''Ask Not'' was too weak.


    The true ''Ask Not,'' the current Ye Yuan could not contend with it at all.


    Most likely the moment he entered the game, he would be obliterated.


    Although this Medicine Ancestor in front of him was powerful, in front of Ye Yuan''s Dao, it was still not enough to look at.


    After all, he had already comprehended the Tai Chi Great Dao Diagram. His comprehension of Dao was far from what the average alchemist could compare to.


    Came with ardent hope, but discovered that his opponent was too weak, Ye Yuan was naturally disappointed.


    "Junior, you''re too arrogant! I''m just a trace of Dao accumulation that the true self left behind in ''Ask Not''. The might of the true body is not what you can imagine at all." The Medicine Ancestor said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I naturally know this. I''m still not arrogant to the point where I believe I can defeat the Medicine Ancestor. It''s just that in the future, I''ll have to play a match with him."


    The Medicine Ancestor snorted coldly and said, "Truly an arrogant and ignorant junior! The true body''s realm, ants can''t imagine it at all. Even Wing is also not worth mentioning in front of him. In this world, it''s impossible to surpass the true self."


    This Medicine Ancestor in front of him was just a wisp of residual thought left by the true self. It did not even count as an avatar.


    But his confidence in his real self was stronger than anyone else.


    In his consciousness, the Medicine Ancestor was the strongest in this world. It was forever impossible for someone to replace him.


    And this was likely the true self''s own thought as well.


    Ye Yuan sneered when he heard it and said, "Talents appear from generation to generation! Your way of thinking is really laughable! Medicine Ancestor, is just other people''s honorific title, and not a real Dao Ancestor."


    The Medicine Ancestor was full of sullen anger when he heard it and said, "Junior, you dare to blaspheme the true body! It''s unforgivable!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard it and said, "I was just stating a fact, place your piece!"


    Smack!


    After ruminating, the Medicine Ancestor placed his piece again.


    Once this chess game started, the winner must be determined. This was the rule set by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Ye Yuan only relied on his will to take control of the authority of placing the pieces and was not able to dictate the direction of this chess game.


    After all, this ''Ask Not'' was made by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Smack!


    Ye Yuan similarly landed a piece without thinking.


    Just like this, the two people started an intense confrontation once more.


    It was just that now, the situation was already completely reversed.


    Ye Yuan''s offense was akin to toppling mountains and overturning the seas, the Medicine Ancestor was unable to resist at all.


    ...


    "Directly ate a huge swathe! My god!"


    "This �� Is this going to exterminate and spare none? This Ye Yuan is also too ruthless, right?"


    "Too frightening! I heard before that those who cleared this ''Ask Not'' were merely able to win the Medicine Ancestor by half a move. But this Ye Yuan ��"


    At the outside world, there was a series of exclamations.


    Ye Yuan''s offensive became fiercer and fiercer, killing until the white pieces threw away their helmets and coats of mail, losing large areas of land.


    Those elders, priests, trainees, were all stunned.


    When they mocked Ye Yuan''s lousy chess move, they never would have thought that this game of chess would actually develop to such a point.


    It was dead silent on the plaza. Only those one chess piece after another flashed like one shining star after another.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, Medicine Ancestor''s figure directly shattered, like when the Sacred Ancestor High Priest shattered previously, dissipating between heaven and earth.


    Only the, did everyone abruptly startle awake!


    Ye Yuan won!


    No deadlock, no ending in a tie.


    What there was, was just a one-sided big victory!


    When that Tian Yuan was connected, everything was already destined.


    Whoosh!


    All of the light dissipated with a loud bang. On the chessboard, Ye Yuan''s figure was revealed.


    Everyone looked towards that slightly skinny figure, eyes full of disbelief.


    "The �� The 12th person!"


    In the crowd, someone suddenly murmured.


    "12th person? What 12th person? T-The 12th person!"


    Everyone did not react at first to what this 12th person meant.


    But very soon, they came to realize the truth.


    Ye Yuan already became the 12th person to pass ''Ask Not'' in 50 million years!


    Xiu looked at that figure and said in wonder, "Eight million years! Finally, another genius who can pass ''Ask Not'' appeared! Furthermore, his talent is even greater!"


    The first 11 people were merely chess pieces in the sacred ancestor''s hands.


    They could only bear the sacred ancestor''s will and could not resist at all.


    But Ye Yuan''s Dao heart was firm. Not only did he shatter the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s will, he even slaughtered the powerful Medicine Ancestor until he threw away his helmet and coat of mail, with the army in utter disarray!


    Such strength, such talent, was simply unprecedented throughout the ages!


    "Hahaha �� Good! What a fine Ye Yuan! This hall master indeed didn''t misjudge him! Didn''t expect that my Tyrant Origin Imperial City actually produced such a genius!"


    Suddenly, Di Qiu let out a burst of wild laughter.


    After eight million years, the Demon Divine Region produced a genius who cracked ''Ask Not'' again. He, as the Tyrant Origin Imperial City''s Priest Temple''s hall master, naturally rendered great merits.


    Furthermore, this was also a great honor.


    One had to know, eight million year''s time, how many geniuses rose and fell, sunk and floated.


    But Ye Yuan''s light was too dazzling!


    Ni Kun and Elder Li and the others'' faces were ugly to the extreme currently.


    Them letting Ye Yuan go challenge ''Ask Not'' was actually in order to harm him.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan passed ''Ask Not'' so perfectly?


    With this, Ye Yuan soared to the sky in one bound, his status equivalent to the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s disciples.


    This identity, one sentence could determine their life and death!


    The two exchanged a glance and discovered that they had a feeling of digging a pit for themselves to jump, feeling incomparably bitter.


    ...


    At this time, in the distance human territories.


    The Medicine Ancestor who was currently in closed-seclusion suddenly startled awake.


    "What''s going on? Why �� Do I sense a threat?" The Medicine Ancestor said with a frown.


    Toward this feeling that came suddenly, the Medicine Ancestor was extremely surprised.


    Reaching his level of realm, apart from Dao Ancestors, nobody could threaten him at all.


    But now, he actually had this kind of feeling.


    That wisp of residual consciousness was not connected to his body at all. He did not know the events that occurred in ''Ask Not''.


    However, that was a wisp of his residual consciousness after all. Residual consciousness being annihilated, he was naturally hit by a sudden impulse.


    It was just that he could never have dreamed that this threat would originate from a Divine Lord Realm martial artist.


    At virtually the same time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest also suddenly snapped open his two eyes, his eyes revealing rays of brilliance.


    He opened his mouth and said with a faint smile, "50 million years, I waited for it! I didn''t think that someone could actually wipe away my will and defeat the Medicine Ancestor!"

 1767 Powerful Opponen

    In front of Sacred Ancestor High Priest, a middle-aged in blue appeared very respectful.


    But his face had a look of joy.


    Clearing ''Ask Not'', this was a great joyous matter in the Demon Divine Region.


    Because anyone knew that clearing ''Ask Not'', the Sacred Ancestor High Priest would take them in as a disciple!


    This was absolutely a great event in the demon race''s alchemy world!


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest slowly opened his mouth and said, "You haven''t publicized this matter, right?"


    The middle-aged man in blue froze. Master''s attitude seemed to be somewhat off!


    "No. When Ji Mo got this new, I came to report to master straight away and haven''t had time to tell the others yet."


    Wing said coolly, "This matter, don''t publicize it anymore. Just take it as if nothing happened."


    Ji Mo could not help being taken aback when he heard it and said in surprise, "Master, why �� why is this?"


    Wing smiled and said, "He''s different from you all!"


    Ji Mo froze when he heard that and said with uncertainty, "Different?"


    He could not figure out, didn''t they all clear ''Ask Not''? What was different?


    Master selected disciples with ''Ask Not'' as the standard, attempting to be able to groom an existence that surpassed the Medicine Ancestor one day.


    This matter, the entire Demon Divine Region knew about it.


    Now, there was another such genius, but Master did not seem to plan on taking him in as a disciple.


    This made him very puzzled.


    Wing slowly got up, walked to a chessboard in the corner, and said coolly, "Ji Mo, you all think that I cut out and simplified this ''Ask Not'' chess game in order to find a talented person. Then have you all thought before whether I found him or not?"


    Ji Mo was caught off-guard by this sudden question.


    Suddenly, his expression changed drastically and he said, "Master''s meaning is that �� actually us 11 fellow apprentices aren''t �� aren''t considered to have passed your test at all?"


    Wing slowly turned around and looked at Ji Mo as he smiled and said, "The 11 of you are indeed my demon race''s Alchemy Dao geniuses that are hard to come by in a million years. It''s just a pity that with your talents, it''s very hard to surpass Master!"


    Ji Mo was incredibly shocked in his heart. His understanding in these few million years was suddenly subverted.


    The 11 of them fellow apprentices had always viewed Master as their goal.


    But, over 50 million years passed, even Eldest Senior Brother was also unable to reach Master''s height!


    Just as Master said, for them fellow apprentices to want to surpass Master, it was virtually impossible.


    Could not even surpass Master, let alone talk about surpassing the Medicine Ancestor who towered above all life.


    "Master, your meaning is that �� he can surpass you?" Ji Mo said with his eyes full of shock.


    Wing smiled and said, "Can surpass or not, I don''t know. After all, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? But, at least up to this point, he''s stronger than you all!"


    This time, Ji Mo was not shock.


    His gaze was full of unwillingness to submit.


    One had to know, the 11 of them fellow apprentices, each of them was someone who had the ability to rule the world.


    After all, in 50 million years, only 11 of them emerged.


    But hearing Master''s tone, they were completely not worth mentioning in front of this kid.


    The pride of a genius made him very unconvinced in his heart.


    "Master, just where is he strong?" Ji Mo asked.


    Wing gave him a glance and said smilingly, "I know that you''re unconvinced in your heart, but he did what all of you couldn''t accomplish!"


    Ji Mo''s face changed and he said, "Could it be that he shouldered all of your will?"


    Wing laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and shook his head as he said, "All of my will? That isn''t my true test for you all! Among the 11 people, your talent is the highest, shouldering 90% of this seat''s will, completing ''Ask Not''! But even all of it isn''t what I desire too! My true intention is �� shattering my will and replacing it!"


    "Shattering Master''s will? In �� In this world, apart from the Medicine Ancestor, how can someone possibly do it?"


    Ji Mo''s expression suddenly changed. The words that Master said made him very perplexed!


    His master was the demon race''s strongest alchemist, not one of.


    Being able to shatter his Alchemy Dao will, what kind of heaven-defying thing was that?


    Apart from the Medicine Ancestor in his youth, who could still accomplish it in this world?


    Who knew that Wing just said coolly, "If he can''t even crush my will, what qualifications does he have to go and challenge the Medicine Ancestor? Since the Heavenspan World''s ancient times, only a Medicine Ancestor emerged to this date. I can surmount all of the human race''s alchemists, but can''t surpass the Medicine Ancestor!"


    Titanic waves surged in Ji Mo''s heart!


    Honestly speaking, he had never thought about this before.


    In fact, the more he cultivated, the more he felt that Master was too lofty beyond reach.


    But Master being inferior to the Medicine Ancestor was an incontestable fact.


    Then just how horrifying was the Medicine Ancestor''s strength?


    Could it be that in this world, there was actually really someone capable of shattering Master''s will?


    "Then Master''s meaning is that �� he did it?" Ji Mo drew a deep breath and said.


    Wing''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a smile, "Not only did he do it, he even defeated the Medicine Ancestor! Even though that Medicine Ancestor isn''t worth mentioning at all, in regards to his realm, he''s an undefeatable existence! However, he won!"


    Wing ignored the great shock in Ji Mo''s heart and continued, "What I''m looking for has never been some disciple, but �� a powerful opponent who can stand on par with me! Powerhouses look down upon the world, but who would know that the more one reaches my level of realm, the more fuzzier it actually is! Why did the Medicine Ancestor say ''Ask Not'' two words to me? Because those two words are the true gap between me and him! If I can see clearly this ''Ask Not'' two words, I might be able to be his match! It''s just that talk is cheap, but doing it is even harder than ascending to the heavens."


    Speaking up to here, Wing''s two eyes revealed rays of brilliance, and was boundlessly heroic for a moment!


    "Invincibility is the loneliest! I think that the Medicine Ancestor''s thoughts are the same as me, right? Therefore, I need a powerful opponent! Only a powerful opponent can let me improve further! Understand?"


    Ji Mo was completely unable to use words to describe his emotions. This place was too crazy!


    The world was envious of the 11 of them. But who could have thought that the 11 of them were merely Master''s abandoned pieces!


    They only barely managed to have the qualifications to be Master''s disciples.


    But what Master needed was an opponent!


    Ji Mo was shocked for a long time. Finally, it turned into a bitter smile and said, "Master, then have you never thought before, what if �� you lose?"


    Wing smiled, smiled very brightly, and said, "This seat won''t lose!"


    Ji Mo looked at Wing with great surprise, feeling that this master before his eyes was totally different from the one he knew.


    The master in the past, that was an existence high above the clouds.


    Nothing could move him.


    But now, he was like a hot-blooded young man, bursting with youthful vigor anew.


    Master''s spirit was burning!

 1768 Tianlu Pavilions Fifth Level!

    Inside Tianlu Pavilion, Xiu seethed with killing intent.


    Opposite him, Di Qiu was full of doubts and puzzlement.


    He completely did not expect that what he got was actually such an order.


    Cracking ''Ask Not'' was a grand event of the demon race. Virtually everyone knew about it.


    But why did everything change when it reached Ye Yuan here?


    "Your Excellency, can I ask why?"


    Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "How can Lord Sacred Ancestor''s thoughts be what you and I can conjecture about? We only need to obey orders."


    Di Qiu was helpless and said with a nod, "Yes, Di Qiu obeys the command!"


    After Di Qiu left, Xiu held a white light ball in his palm, his expression complicated.


    It was only to see him lightly pressed his palm, and then a ball of light merged into space.


    Before long, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared in Tianlu Pavilion.


    "Senior, you''re looking for me?" Ye Yuan bowed and said.


    Xiu nodded and said, "These few days, you''ve been in closed-seclusion all along. How''s the harvest?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Honestly speaking, the harvest �� isn''t big."


    When Xiu heard that, he had a strange look on his face.


    No matter who it was, as long as they did not die in ''Ask Not'', they would have some harvest.


    Some people after coming out, their Alchemy Dao strength would advance by leaps and bounds, even reigning supreme in a city.


    This depended on talent.


    All Tyrant Origin Imperial City''s elders had basically cleared ''Ask Not.''


    One had to know, inside ''Ask Not'' contained the Dao of the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, these two Heavenspan World''s apex Alchemy Dao experts!


    But Ye Yuan actually said that there was not much gain.


    This was too depressing!


    Ye Yuan said that he did not have harvests was naturally not because his comprehension ability was poor, but that his strength was too strong.


    The Dao contained in ''Ask Not'' could not give Ye Yuan much comprehension at all.


    But these few years, Ye Yuan still learned quite a bit of things from ''Ask Not.''


    After all, those two were the Heavenspan World''s top powerhouses.


    "Senior Xiu, don''t use this kind of eyes to look at me. You should be able to tell that ''Ask Not''s effect on me isn''t big," Ye Yuan saw Xiu''s look and explained with a smile.


    For such a long time, Ye Yuan more or less had some understanding of Xiu''s Alchemy Dao strength.


    Even though he had never exhibited it in front of him before, just based on some of his views, it was far from what those elders could compare to.


    He should be able to tell that his strength already far surpassed the level of ''Ask Not''.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior didn''t find me in order to beat me up, right?"


    Xiu smiled and said, "You passed ''Ask Not''s test, in the future, all of this Tianlu Pavilion''s floors will be opened to you at any time. Especially the fifth level, I believe that there are things that interest you!"


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his eyes could not help lighting up and he said in pleasant surprise, "Are Senior''s words true?"


    In half a year''s time, Ye Yuan had always remained on the first three floors. The books here were already pretty much digested by him.


    Even the third floor was Xiu letting him enter through the back door.


    That place was a place that only elders could enter.


    As for the fourth floor, even if Ye Yuan and Xiu''s relationship was very good, he was not willing to open this back door either.


    He did not expect that clearing ''Ask Not'' actually still had this kind of benefit.


    Even Xiu was not willing to let him enter. This showed that the books on the fourth floor and above were definitely all extremely precious stuff.


    Such things, probably only the hall master, a person of this level, could go in.


    Ye Yuan did not even know that inside this Tianlu Pavilion still had a fifth floor!


    Now, not only could Ye Yuan enter the fourth level, he could even enter the fifth level that had never been heard of. How could this not surprise him?


    Xiu smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you? Go on!"


    Ye Yuan did not say a word and went straight up to the fourth floor.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Xiu shook his head and said, "This kid actually kept his mouth shut about the matter of acknowledging a master. In this world, how many people want to acknowledge the Sacred Ancestor as master, but he �� seems to hold it in disdain!"


    ...


    "Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill! This �� Isn''t this the demon race''s Supreme Jade Void Pill?"


    "Also, these alchemy techniques are all extremely powerful treasures!"


    "And these demonic attraction art methods are truly exquisite!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan lingered on the fourth floor, viewing those classics, gasping in admiration again and again.


    Although this fourth floor''s classics were far lacking in quantity than downstairs, they were clearly more than a grade higher than those below.


    With Ye Yuan''s eyesight, he could naturally discern that these classics should be the demon race''s most precious batch.


    Even though these classics were all used by Divine Dao rank four or five powerhouses, without a doubt, they were extremely precious.


    If these classics were in the human race, it would not be easily shown to people at all.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to have today''s accomplishments, it was largely due to benefiting from Immortal Grove''s legacy.


    Although he had long already surpassed his predecessor, the pill formulas that Immortal Grove left behind, alchemy techniques, etc, the significance to Ye Yuan naturally went without saying.


    Clearly, in the demon race, these things were similarly incomparably precious.


    Browsing entirely the fourth floor''s classics, Ye Yuan entered the fifth level impatiently.


    He very much wanted to look at what kind of things were actually even more precious than the fourth floor''s classics!


    The fifth floor''s space was stark empty. Only a white light ball suspended quietly in the air.


    Ye Yuan was very curious and pressed his palm on it.


    Buzz!


    In an instant, countless information entered Ye Yuan''s mind.


    "This �� This is the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s legacy?"


    Ye Yuan''s mind was shaken and came to his senses very quickly about what this mass of information was.


    "However �� these inheritances don''t seem to have his comprehension toward the Dao. Instead, they are the demon race''s most basic stuff. Could it be ��"


    In these legacies, there were medicinal property explanations of countless spirit medicines, detailed interpretation of alchemy techniques, and also the demonic attraction art''s supreme arts.


    Even though the content had common aspects with those at downstairs, they were a totally different concept!


    These things were a top alchemist''s lifetime comprehension toward the Alchemy Dao!


    For an alchemist to want to corroborate the Great Dao, they must walk out a path that belonged to him.


    Just like Ye Yuan, even with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s inheritance, he still walked out an alchemy path belonging to him.


    And the Sacred Ancestor High Priest''s inheritance was clearly much higher rank than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove''s!


    These two were not on the same level at all.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan seemingly understood something.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth and he said, "What a daring Sacred Ancestor High Priest! He wants to let me grow up and become his opponent, spurring him to break through the shackles from there! Looks like this ''Ask Not'' isn''t what the world thinks at all! What he''s finding is a person capable of shattering his will, and not a chess piece in his hands! Heh, most likely even the Medicine Ancestor also didn''t expect that the Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually has such boldness, right? Perhaps in the future, he can really become the second Medicine Ancestor, who knows!"

 1769 White Lights News

    This legacy was too valuable to Ye Yuan.


    After several years, Ye Yuan''s attainments in demon divine pills finally reached the pinnacle.


    At the same time, his Alchemy Dao strength also had a significant improvement.


    In this period, the temple gathered some level eight and nine difficulty spirit medicines. Ye Yuan took action and refined them.


    Furthermore, the demon divine pills he made, the lowest was also divine-grade.


    The Priest Temple''s upper echelons were naturally extremely shocked by this, especially Di Qiu. Back then, he did not believe that Ye Yuan could create much value for them within 300 years at all.


    But now, he finally knew that he was ridiculously wrong.


    On this day, Di Qiu came to find Ye Yuan and apologized when he opened his mouth.


    "Haha, Ye Yuan, this hall master apologizes to you about what happened that day! You fulfilled your promise. Looking at it now, it was my temple that earned big from you," Di Qiu laughed loudly and said.


    Di Qiu''s personality was frank and straightforward. Admitting his fault, he did not have the slightest hesitation either.


    With his identity, being able to do this was truly not easy.


    Even though he wanted to kill Ye Yuan that day, Ye Yuan could also understand Di Qiu''s thoughts.


    After all, he still had human blood flowing in his body.


    To an alchemist who had never come into contact with demon divine pills before, 300 year''s time was indeed not long.


    Hence, he smiled and said, "Hall Master doesn''t have to be like this. This Ye knows that the request that day was indeed somewhat brusque."


    Di Qiu chortled and said, "Fine lad, I knew that you weren''t a petty person! Giving a plum in return for a peach, coming to you today, I actually have some news about the matter you entrusted to me."


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled and he said with a worried look, "Is �� Is he okay?"


    But Di Qiu''s brows furrowed together, making Ye Yuan''s heart abruptly twitch.


    "Okay or not, I can''t say either. But �� the odds are likely against him rather than in his favor." Di Qiu said.


    Ye Yuan''s complexion turned deathly pale. Di Qiu did not leave him hanging either, recounting the entire sequence of events.


    Although finding someone was like searching for a needle in a haystack, even in the Demon Divine Region, pure white tiger bloodline was extremely rare too.


    The Priest Temple was indeed well-deserving of being one of the demon race''s most colossal forces. Through the news given by Ye Yuan, they finally found White Light''s news within a few years.


    It turned out that White Light had been living in Tiger Bright Imperial City all along these few years.


    The White Tiger Clan''s bloodline was similarly extremely noble in the Heavenspan World.


    So after coming to the Heavenspan World, White Light''s cultivation speed was actually not slow.


    It was just that compared to Ye Yuan, it was still much slower.


    But arriving at the demon race, and arriving at Tiger Bright Imperial City, he relied on his bloodline talent and strength and became an indispensable young powerhouse of Tiger Bright Imperial City.


    However, Tiger Bright Imperial City was different from Tyrant Origin Imperial City.


    The Skydemon Mountain Range in the vicinity of Tiger Bright Imperial City had a very strong faction. Both parties would frequently clash.


    Not long ago, Tiger Bright Imperial City and that faction had another conflict again.


    And White Light took part in the operation this time.


    White Light teamed up with another Tiger Bright Imperial City''s young genius and beat the other party''s leader to heavy injuries and on the verge of death.


    No one could have expected that this leader who was injured was actually the son of that faction''s chieftain, Heavenly Tiger King.


    With this, a big hole was poked in the basket.


    The Heavenly Tiger King was enraged and sent out all of the fierce beasts under his command, surrounding Tiger Bright Imperial City until not even water could seep through.


    Yet, this Heavenly Tiger King''s strength was stronger than Tiger Bright Imperial City''s city lord.


    After both parties exchanged blows, Heavenly Tiger King injured the city lord and threatened that if they did not hand over the culprit, he would directly slaughter the city.


    Hence, White Light took the initiative to step up.


    Heavenly Tiger King took White Light away, that was how the beast tide retreated.


    Di Qiu let out a sigh and said, "Speaking of which, the two of you brothers are loyal people. Actually, the one who took action and injured the Heavenly Tiger King''s son wasn''t White Light. But he and Blackpupil are good brothers, so he took the initiative to step forward, bearing the blame on Blackpupil''s behalf."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he asked, "How long ago was this?"


    Di Qiu said, "This was just a few months ago. But �� I''ve heard before that Heavenly Tiger King''s name. He''s very savage and cruel. If he didn''t have some scruples, he might have really slaughtered the city. That brother of yours, White Light, is fraught with grim possibilities!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed and he said to Di Qiu with clasped hands, "Hall Master, this matter brooks no delay. I''ll set off now and head for Tiger Bright Imperial City!"


    Di Qiu did not stop either and said, "There are transmission arrays between Priest Temples. You can go over through the transmission array."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes lit up and he said with clasped hands, "In that case, thank you very much, Lord Hall Master!"


    Imperial cities were mostly independent. Under normal circumstances, there were no transmission arrays.


    Just like the relationship between Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and Utmost Peace Imperial City back then, if there was a transmission array, that would be equivalent to self-destruction.


    But the demon race''s priest temples spanned all over each imperial city. It was still permitted for them to set up some small-scale transmission arrays internally.


    Of course, this transmission array naturally had strict rules for usage too. People apart from the Priest Temple were absolutely not allowed to use it.


    ...


    Passing through the transmission array, what was supposed to be a several years'' journey, Ye Yuan only used half a month''s time and reached Tiger Bright Imperial City.


    "Ye Yuan pays respect to Hall Master Jin Hua!"


    Coming out of the transmission array, a man dressed in hall master long robes came up to welcome.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew it in his heart and bowed to him.


    Although Di Qiu did not say that Ye Yuan cleared ''Ask Not,'' the words in the message he transmitted to him expressed Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness.


    Jin Hua was not a fool, he naturally understood what it meant.


    Hence, he personally came to welcome Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was unfamiliar with this place. His greatest reliance was the Priest Temple and naturally had to be more courteous to Jin Hua.


    When Jin Hua saw Ye Yuan, he could not help slightly revealing a look of surprise. Nodding his head, he said, "You''re Little Friend Ye Yuan? I heard that your talent is outstanding and can already refine level eight and nine demon divine pills?"


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart and said with a nod, "That is kind praise from Hall Master Di Qiu. If Hall Master Jin Hua needs this Ye to put forth my strength, this Ye will naturally carry out my obligations!"


    Jin Hua smiled, very satisfied with Ye Yuan''s behavior.


    Clearly, talking with smart people was very easy.


    However, he was also secretly shocked in his heart.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan was a peak rank four powerhouse. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was only a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Could this bit of strength really refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill?


    Di Qiu seemed crude and careless, but he naturally also would not be as simple as he portrayed.


    Even though the relationship between priest temples was much closer than between imperial cities, asking people for help naturally had to promise some benefits.


    And Ye Yuan was the biggest benefit.


    He already hinted in the news he sent over that he could have Ye Yuan refine some level nine difficulty medicinal pills.


    "Huhu, then I''ll have to trouble Little Friend Ye Yuan. I heard Di Qiu say that you and White Light are life-and-death brothers?" Jin Hua asked casually.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "We''re good brothers that have braved countless dangers! Lord Hall Master, I heard that he also has a good brother in Tiger Bright Imperial City, Blackpupil. I wonder if you can tell me about this person?"

 1770 Set Up

    In the restaurant, a demon race youth faced Ye Yuan, a flattering look on his face.


    Ye Yuan took a sip of wine and said coolly, "Brother Blackpupil''s words are flattering a little too over the top. During these 50 million years, only 11 people have cleared ''Ask Not.'' Your words are pushing me into the fire pit!"


    Blackpupil seemed slightly awkward as he laughed and said, "Haha, no matter what, Brother Ye''s alchemy standards are the most formidable that I, Blackpupil, have seen to this day! If not for you, it''s probably impossible for me to break through to late-stage rank four within a short time!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Blackpupil is too modest. With your talent, I was merely adding flowers to embroidery."


    Ye Yuan made a compliment very deftly. Blackpupil was indeed very pleased with himself.


    "Heh, to talk about talent, if I, Blackpupil, admits to being second in Tiger Bright Imperial City, no one will identify as first!" Blackpupil said with a proud face.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in strong agreement, "This Ye just arrived here. But I heard that there''s still a pretty talented one in the city? What''s he called again?"


    Blackpupil''s expression changed, but he still said, "White Light!"


    "Right, right, called White Light! I heard that that punk overestimated his own ability and actually wanted to compete with Brother Blackpupil!" Ye Yuan said with an unhappy look.


    Blackpupil''s expression was slightly unnatural as he shook his head and said with a sigh, "What''s Brother Ye saying? White Light is my close brother! He''s currently thrown in prison. I''m also very pained about it!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard this, he was unhappy. His face turned sullen as he said, "Heh, Brother Blackpupil is treating me as an outside! Forget it, forget it, don''t talk about this at this time. This wine is also pretty much drunk, this Ye will take his leave first."


    As he said, Ye Yuan was really going to get up and leave.


    Blackpupil got a fright and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan and said, "Don''t, don''t! Brother Ye, it was all Blackpupil''s fault, let''s sit down and slowly talk, slowly talk!"


    Ye Yuan sat down with an unhappy look and said, "Blackpupil, I felt that your talent is pretty good. That''s why I made friends with you. Do you think that just anybody is qualified to become friends with me?"


    Before coming, Ye Yuan already had Jin Hua spread that word, saying that he could refine level nine medicinal pills.


    Prior to this, Ye Yuan already refined a medicinal pill and helped Blackpupil successfully break through his bottleneck, reaching late-stage rank four.


    In reality, when Ye Yuan heard about this incident, he felt that there was something very fishy.


    If it were Ye Yuan, he would rather die himself than let Heavenly Tiger King capture White Light away.


    This matter, it was pronounced to the outside world that it was all done by White Light.


    But the news held by the Priest Temple clearly did not stop there.


    Even though the temple did not care about the affairs in the city, with their standing, the eyes and ears in the city naturally could not be avoided.


    Hence, the moment Ye Yuan came out of the Transmission array, he asked about it.


    Setting up this plot today was in order to bait him.


    In terms of cunningness, ten Blackpupil was not Ye Yuan''s match too.


    With a few interactions, Blackpupil already took Ye Yuan to be a good friend that could be confided in.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan intentionally or unintentionally saying that he wanted to help Blackpupil refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill, he naturally became even more docile and obedient towards Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan never mentioned the matter of White Light all the way until today, did he casually mention it.


    If Blackpupil really took White Light to be a brother, then it was Ye Yuan who misunderstood. White Light standing up for a brother, he naturally had nothing to say.


    But, if there was really something fishy in-between, then he would not be courteous.


    Blackpupil knew that Ye Yuan had the ability to refine the Cloud Pendant Heavenly Sunbow Pill and was naturally willing to make friends with Ye Yuan.


    Even if they did not become friends, he could not offend either!


    One had to know, one medicinal pill from Ye Yuan could let him break through to rank five.


    How could this sort of person be offended?


    Sure enough, Blackpupil had an ingratiating look as he said, "Brother Ye, calm your anger. One look and you''re a clear-headed person! Either way, that brat is already dead, so there''s nothing that can''t be said. That punk indeed didn''t know how to appreciate favors. That''s why I did a small trick and eliminated him."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help saying with great interest, "Oh? In that case, that son of Heavenly Tiger King, it was you who deliberately took action to severely injure him?"


    Blackpupil smiled and said, "That''s of course! I originally wanted to directly kill him, but I didn''t expect that this guy had coarse skin and thick flesh, and actually didn''t die! White Light that fool actually really stood up for me and shouldered this matter."


    While talking, Blackpupil had a contemptuous look on his face.


    Ye Yuan had already inquired before, this Blackpupil normally addressed White Light as his brother and took on quite a number of things for White Light.


    Quite a few demons in this city found White Light an eyesore. As long as Blackpupil ran into them, he would definitely cuss the other party out.


    Looking at it now, these were probably arranged by Blackpupil.


    Ye Yuan had a smile that was not a smile when he heard it and said, "Brother Blackpupil, you treated your own brother like that. You wouldn''t stab me in the back one day too, right?"


    The moment Blackpupil heard, he hurriedly said, "What''s Brother Ye saying? I, Old Black, am not this kind of person! Actually, I''ve hinted to that White Light to leave many times and not compete for the position of young city lord in Tiger Bright Imperial City with me. But he wouldn''t listen. I only came up with this scheme out of helplessness! Brother Ye, you opened your heart up to me. I, Blackpupil, only take you as a friend in this lifetime!"


    The smile on Ye Yuan''s face grew increasingly thicker, making Blackpupil feel a chill run down his back.


    "B-Brother Ye, what''s with you?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Then do you know that White Light and I are also close brothers who stand or fall together?"


    Blackpupil''s expression changed when he heard it and said with an ugly expression, "This �� How is this possible?"


    Ye Yuan''s face recovered tranquility and he said coolly, "White Light has stuck together with me and depended on each other for survival from birth! Now, you actually stabbed him in the back. What do you think �� I should do?"


    Blackpupil''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "You �� You deliberately tricked me?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''re not considered too dumb yet! White Light he''s pure-hearted and really took you, this kind of venomous person, to be a friend. But how can I, his big brother, let you get off scot-free?"


    Blackpupil''s expression changed several times. Finally, it turned into a cold smile and he said, "With the likes of you? You''re as dumb as that brother of yours! Since you suspect me, you actually still helped me to refine medicinal pills and helped me break through! Heh heh, go die!"


    While talking, Blackpupil''s aura skyrocketed. The strength of late-stage rank four erupted in its entirety, him pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan stood there and pointed a finger out very calmly.


    Bang!


    Blackpupil''s body was akin to being struck by lightning, suddenly flying out backward. Fresh blood was spewing wildly in the air.


    Landed on the ground, he looked at Ye Yuan in horror, face revealing a panicky look as he said in disbelief, "This �� How is this possible?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Blackpupil coolly and said, "White Light doesn''t like to show off, so he definitely didn''t tell you why he''d leave my side and come to Tiger Bright Imperial City from afar. The strength that you rely on isn''t worth mentioning in front of me at all!"

 1771 Rushing Heavenly Tiger Mountain Alone

    Ye Yuan had long expected it. Taking a step high into the air, a finger tapped out once more.


    It was only to see a trace of crack ripped in space. Blackpupil''s figure was directly sent out.


    Blackpupil''s pupils constricted and he said in horror, "S-Spatial law!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, "Don''t need to worry, I won''t kill you. Take a trip with me."


    Blackpupil''s expression changed and he said fearfully, "W-Where are you bringing me?"


    "Heavenly Tiger Mountain."


    Blackpupil had a look of alarm and said in panic, "I �� I''m not going! You �� You''re courting death! White Light already died, so what''s the point of doing this now?"


    The current Ye Yuan had a calm look. But those who knew him well knew that he was very angry.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan unleashed a finger again.


    "Ahh! You �� You crippled my cultivation! You''ll die a horrible death!"


    A scream came from Blackpupil. That finger of Ye Yuan''s just now directly made his inner-world shatter.


    The current Blackpupil was already an out-and-out cripple.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a grim look, "My brother''s life is tenacious, so he won''t die. If he really died, I''ll make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried with him! As for you, there''s absolutely no hope to get lucky."


    Blackpupil''s entire body trembled, revealing a look of despair.


    Suddenly, he let out a wild laugh and said, "Just the likes of you will make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried for him? What right do you have?"


    Ye Yuan slowly walked over, hauling Blackpupil up. Taking a stride out, he directly left Tiger Bright Imperial City.


    "You sent a message out with a secret art just now, right? Don''t harbor delusions anymore, no one will come and save you," As Ye Yuan sped along, he said coolly.


    Blackpupil''s expression changed and he said in disbelief, "You want to scare me? My grandfather is Tiger Bright Imperial City''s grand elder, late-stage rank five powerhouse! You crippled my cultivation, he''ll definitely shred you into pieces."


    Ye Yuan cast him a pitiful glance and said coolly, "Then you see if anyone will come and save you or not."


    Time slowly trickled by, the two people got closer and closer to Heavenly Tiger Mountain.


    However, there were still no activities at the rear.


    Blackpupil''s heart gradually sunk to the bottom.


    He seriously could not understand why Grandfather would not come and save him.


    And where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    Thinking about Ye Yuan arriving at the border of Skydemon Mountain Range, Blackpupil finally knew that Ye Yuan was not scaring him, but he really had the confidence!


    But why?


    "Why? WHY!" Blackpupil bellowed unwillingly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Didn''t you say that with my strength, there isn''t any problem passing ''Ask Not''?"


    Blackpupil''s pupils constricted and he said in disbelief, "You �� You really passed ''Ask Not''? This isn''t possible! If you passed ''Ask Not,'' why doesn''t the entire demon race have any news at all?"


    Ye Yuan said, "That''s because I''m different from those people in the past!"


    Blackpupil''s entire body trembled. His mind was in disorder.


    He previously said these words just to butter Ye Yuan up.


    No one had cleared ''Ask Not'' for eight million years already. Although Ye Yuan was very formidable, he did not believe that Ye Yuan had the ability to clear it at all.


    But now, even his grandfather did not dare to chase after. Very clearly, a powerful force stopped him.


    At least, City Lord His Excellency did not have this ability and strength!


    Then �� it was really Lord Sacred Ancestor?


    Extreme terror after long deliberation!


    The deeper Blackpupil thought, the more despaired he got.


    ...


    "This one is Ye Yuan, requesting an audience with Heavenly Tiger King!"


    Ye Yuan stood in the air and said in a clear voice, his voice ringing throughout the whole Heavenly Tiger Mountain.


    Blackpupil was scared until his legs were quaking. This guy''s nerves were really too plucky.


    Suddenly, several powerful auras stepped into the air and pounced over toward Ye Yuan two people.


    Seven to eight fierce beasts with powerful auras directly took action indiscriminately.


    Blackpupil was scared until his complexion turned ashen. These seven to eight fierce beasts, each one was several times stronger than him. Now, Ye Yuan and he were both dead for sure.


    This guy''s head really had a problem, to actually dare so be insolent in Heavenly Tiger King''s territory. What was this if not tired of living?


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, his figure immediately became vague and insubstantial, directly rushing into the beast horde.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Blackpupil only felt the divine essence around him disperse frenziedly.


    Even though Ye Yuan battled seven to eight late-stage rank four fierce beasts by himself, he actually did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest.


    Was this guy a freak?


    His combat power was actually so strong!


    Just what kind of monster was White Light''s brother!


    Suddenly, a surge of remorse welled up frantically in his heart. He discovered that he had done an extremely foolish thing, and provoked the person that he least ought to!


    "Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!"


    "Nirvana Seal!"


    One powerful move after another spewed forth. Ye Yuan sent each one of those fierce beasts packing back into the Heavenly Tiger Mountain.


    Ye Yuan stood in his air and called out in a clear voice once more, "I''m Ye Yuan, requesting an audience with Heavenly Tiger King!"


    With this, no more fierce beasts rushed out.


    Before long, a black tiger rose into the sky.


    A powerful aura instantly enveloped Ye Yuan and Blackpupil.


    "Punk, who are you? To dare act wildly at my Heavenly Tiger Mountain?" said the black tiger in human language.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I want to meet Heavenly Tiger King!"


    The black tiger gave a cold laugh when he heard that and said disdainfully, "Brat, your strength is decent. But why would Lord Heavenly Tiger King want to see you?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I can treat Tigerheart!"


    But the black tiger burst into laughter when he heard that and said, "Tiger Bright Imperial City even sent over a Five-star priest, but he was at a loss on what to do. Just the likes of you, a little brat still wet behind his ears, can treat Tigerheart''s injuries?"


    The terms of Heavenly Tiger King''s retreat was naturally not just handing over White Light. There was also having the Priest Temple send people over to treat his son, Tigerheart.


    In the end, Tigerheart''s injuries were too severe, even the Priest Temple could not treat him.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "They are inferior to me! Treat the dead horse as if it''s still alive; either way, you guys don''t have other choices."


    The moment the black tiger heard, he said in great rage, "Brat, what are you saying?"


    Angry was angry, but the black tiger did not make a move.


    Because he knew that Ye Yuan''s words were harsh, but the logic was not wrong.


    This brat suddenly appeared and even dared to say such big words. He likely did not say it carelessly.


    Who would have nothing to do and treat their own life as a joke?


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, the black tiger said unhappily, "Since you came to treat Tigerheart, then what are you still waiting for? Come with me!"


    But Ye Yuan did not move and said coolly, "I want to meet Heavenly Tiger King! Otherwise, I won''t treat him."


    The moment the black tiger heart, he immediately said in a great rage, "Brat, since you already came, it''s no longer up to you now."


    Ye Yuan said with a calm look, "You can try! I can treat Tigerheart; similarly, I can also make him unable to pray for life, nor beg for death! If you don''t believe it, you can give it a try."


    The black tiger''s face fell and he said angrily, "Brat, you dare?!"


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not react, the black tiger immediately crumbled and gave a cold snort and said, "Kid, you wait here. I''ll go and ask for Lord Heavenly Tiger King''s opinion!"

 1772 Grievous News

    In front of him, a majestic enormous tiger, a full person''s height, talked in human language. His gaze stared intently at Ye Yuan, his body radiating a terrifying aura.


    Thud!


    Ye Yuan did not show the least bit of fear. Stretching out his hand and lightly pushing, he pushed Blackpupil in front of Heavenly Tiger King.


    "This is the culprit who seriously injured Tigerheart! I can help you treat Tigerheart, but I need to see White Light first," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Heavenly Tiger King''s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, "Punk, are you negotiating terms with me? Do you think that you have the capital to negotiate terms in front of me?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said calmly, "I''m not discussing terms with you, but I am giving you a chance. I hope that White Light had better be fine, otherwise �� the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain will be buried for your foolishness!"


    At this time, just the late-stage rank five fierce beasts by Heavenly Tiger King''s side were as many as seven to eight.


    This Heavenly Tiger Mountain, the rank five fierce beasts were no fewer than several dozen at the very least.


    When these fierce beasts heard Ye Yuan''s word, each and every one of them exchanged glances, their expressions very amused.


    This human brat in front of them was actually threatening Heavenly Tiger King?


    This kid likely lost his mind, right?


    "Hahaha! I, Heavenly Tiger King, have been entrenched in Heavenly Tiger Mountain for as long as several tens of thousands of years. Even Tiger Bright Imperial City''s city lord, I have killed one before too. There has never been a guy who dared to say this kind of wildly arrogant words in front of me! Kid, you''re very courageous!"


    Heavenly Tiger King let out a wild laugh. Clearly, Ye Yuan''s words, he listened to it like a joke.


    If not for Ye Yuan saying that he could treat Tigerheart, he would have long smacked him to death with one palm.


    But Ye Yuan had a serious look as he asked in a solemn voice, "How is White Light?"


    Heavenly Tiger King waved his paw carelessly and said coolly, "Relax, he''s currently locked up by me and suffered a small loss. But he''s fine. You just have to treat Tigerheart, and I''ll immediately release him!"


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan''s heart eased up and he said coolly, "As long as White Light is fine, everything can be discussed. Lead the way!"


    Under Heavenly Tiger King''s lead, Ye Yuan came to a cave.


    On the simple and crude stone bed, a bright-colored tiger lay there, breath fleeting like gossamer.


    Heavenly Tiger King''s face fell and he said, "Kid, don''t let me find out that you''re toying with me. You will know the consequences."


    In truth, he did not harbor much hope in Ye Yuan.


    After all, Ye Yuan only had Divine Lord Realm''s strength.


    But he loved his son dearly. Since Ye Yuan said so, he could only have Ye Yuan give it a shot.


    Ye Yuan ignored Heavenly Tiger King and went straight to the edge of the stone bed, and pressed his palm on Tigerheart''s body. Traces of thick divine essence probed into Tigerheart''s body.


    Ye Yuan''s brows knitted tighter and tighter, hatred towards Blackpupil welling up even more in his heart.


    This guy attacked really viciously!


    Tigerheart''s insides were virtually beaten into mush by Blackpupil, the vitality within his body almost already dissipated fully.


    Even using medicinal pills, Tigerheart was completely unable to digest it too.


    It was also no wonder that those Five-star high priests were all helpless.


    This kind of situation, to the average person, it was basically waiting to die.


    Heavenly Tiger King appeared slightly fidgety as he asked, "How is it? Is �� Is there hope?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "This guy is tenacious too, to actually be able to hold out until now. You rest assured. As long as he doesn''t die, I can bring him back to life!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Heavenly Tiger King''s heart inexplicably eased up.


    Ye Yuan took out a purplish-black medicinal pill. Supporting from under with his palm, the medicinal pill suspended above Tigerheart.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence poured out trace by trace, guiding the medicinal strength of the purplish-black medicinal pill into Tigerheart''s body.


    The moment Heavenly Tiger King saw this, his gaze could not refrain from turning intent as he said in surprise, "This kid has such terrifying control!"


    What kind of visual prowess did Heavenly Tiger King have? Ye Yuan''s control over divine essence was too terrifying.


    No need to talk about him; even those high priests from the Priest Temple absolutely could not do it to Ye Yuan''s degree as well.


    Tigerheart was only hanging in there with one breath and was totally unable to refine the medicinal strength himself anymore.


    If he could still consume medicinal pills, Five-star high priests naturally would not be at their wits'' end.


    At least, prolonging his life was still doable.


    Previously, that high priest also said before leaving that Tigerheart was not without hope. It was just that no one had that kind of fine control to ferry the medicinal strength into Tigerheart''s body.


    Even Hall Master Jin Hua could not do it too!


    Now, this rank four little fellow actually did it!


    "This kid indeed has some capability! His control over divine essence is simply brilliant to the max." That black tiger from earlier marveled in admiration.


    Heavenly Tiger King said excitedly, "Haha, truly, heaven doesn''t want my child to die!"


    The black tiger was a little worried as he whispered, "Your Majesty, this kid wants that White Light, we . .."


    Heavenly Tiger King''s face turned black, two eyes glaring as he said in a solemn voice, "Wait for him to finish treating before talking! Talking about this now, do you want to die?"


    The black tiger was startled inwardly and hurriedly withdrew, not daring to speak anymore.


    Ye Yuan''s treatment lasted three days and three nights.


    Under everyone''s marveling gazes, Tigerheart''s vitality went from nothing to something and gradually grew stronger again.


    Although this process was extremely slow, the people present were all experts and could naturally feel the changes in Tigerheart''s breathing.


    A smile unconsciously spilled out on Heavenly Tiger King''s ferocious looking face.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s palm pulled back, the treatment suddenly stopping.


    Heavenly Tiger King''s face changed and he asked, "Kid, what''s the meaning of this?"


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.


    This method of ferrying medicinal strength was seriously too energy-consuming. Even he also felt very strained by casting it continuously for three days and three nights.


    But the reason he stopped was naturally not because of this.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Tiger King and said coolly, "Tigerheart''s current situation, living another few months isn''t an issue. I can continue to help treat him. But I have to see White Light first!"


    The reason why he helped treat Tigerheart unconditionally was just in order to let them know that he had this strength.


    But his goal was White Light.


    Not seeing White Light, he would not continue taking action.


    Regarding Heavenly Tiger King''s conduct, Ye Yuan had long inquired about it.


    Heavenly Tiger King''s words, he naturally would not believe completely.


    Heavenly Tiger King''s expression changed, and he said, "This king said that as long as you treat Tigerheart, this king will naturally release him."


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I want to see White Light first!"


    Heavenly Tiger King''s expression became incomparably ugly and he involuntarily looked toward the black tiger.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, immediately having a foreboding premonition. He said in a chilly voice, "Just how is White Light?! If you dare to deceive me, your son can forget about ever getting well!"


    Heavenly Tiger King knew that it could not be hidden anymore and gave a cold snort as he said, "He''s dead!"


    Buzz!


    Ye Yuan''s eyes went black, staggering, nearly falling to the ground.


    His head suddenly exploded, endless sorrow instantly filling his whole body.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan''s anxiety struck his heart, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood mist.

 1773 Magic Eye Grotto

    "You really killed him?" Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan''s murderous aura naturally could not pose any harm to Heavenly Tiger King.


    In fact, the way they saw it, Ye Yuan''s anger was simply laughable.


    Heavenly Tiger King laughed loudly and said, "Looks like your relationship with that white tiger is really very deep! But your anger is utterly meaningless to this king. This is a world where the weak are prey and the strong feast. If you don''t have the strength, even if you have monumental grievances, you also have to suppress it in your heart!"


    Ye Yuan''s entire body trembled, his gaze icy-cold as he said in a cold voice, "I ask you, did you really kill him?"


    "Haha, this kid is probably really a fool, he still can''t see the current situation clearly?"


    "A rank four brat actually dares to threaten our Heavenly Tiger Mountain, this tone is also too big!"


    "That punk called White Light actually dared to beat Young Patriarch Tigerheart to severe injuries, so serves him right to die!"


    ...


    The fierce beasts following the Heavenly Tiger King all revealed teasing gazes.


    To them, these powerhouses, occasionally toying with weaklings was also something pretty good.


    Heavenly Tiger King burst into laughter and said, "Why, killed then killed, could it be that you''ll really make our entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried in death? Brat, not that I''m looking down on you, but just the likes of you? Now, go and treat Tigerheart obediently. If you dare to have any devious thoughts, this king will make you unable to beg for life nor plead for death!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s entire person recovered tranquility. His body stopped trembling. His pair of eyes looked at the Heavenly Tiger King, not carrying the slightest emotion.


    The current Ye Yuan already could not use words to describe his rage.


    A cold light flashed, the Junyi Sword already arrived in Ye Yuan''s hand.


    He walked over step by step toward the Heavenly Tiger King.


    The Heavenly Tiger King''s eyes were full of amusement as he said with a cold smile, "Kid, if you don''t treat Tigerheart today, the consequences aren''t what you can bear!"


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, the Heavenly Tiger King''s aura was released fully. The powerful aura made the entire mountain forest tremble.


    Even his subordinates were also all on tenterhooks, consciously retreating.


    The Heavenly Tiger King already had one foot stepped into the threshold of rank six. The might of his imposing momentum, ordinary powerhouses could not withstand it at all.


    Even Tiger Bright City Lord was not his match either. It could be seen how terrifying his strength was.


    His powerful aura was actually being suppressed back.


    His figure suddenly froze there.


    "Which �� Which lord arrived? Please reveal yourself!"


    No one answered him!


    The Heavenly Tiger King had a look of shock on his face. He completely could not feel any aura. But now, he could not even move his fingers!


    He could only helplessly watch Ye Yuan approach him.


    Same as him, none of the other fierce beasts were able to move as well.


    The Heavenly Tiger King suddenly startled awake, only then remembering the words Ye Yuan said before.


    He said that he was going to make the entire Heavenly Tiger Mountain be buried with White Light!


    He only took it as a joke previously. He did not expect that this Divine Lord Realm human brat could actually find such a terrifying helper!


    Looking as Ye Yuan drew close step by step, the Heavenly Tiger King finally sensed the arrival of death.


    He currently could not even perform divine essence body protection.


    It was as easy as flipping his hand over for Ye Yuan to want to kill him!


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s cold eyes, Heavenly Tiger King did not think that the other party would show mercy.


    "H-Hang on! Maybe �� Maybe White Light isn''t dead!" Heavenly Tiger King said rather feebly.


    Ye Yuan''s figure paused, not carrying the slightest emotion as he said, "You only have three breaths of time. If you can''t convince me, you die!"


    Heavenly Tiger King broke out in cold sweat. He had never felt before such tremendous pressure.


    "A-Actually, after White Light was captured by us, he was thrown into the Magic Eye Grotto! That place is the Skydemon Mountain Range''s forbidden land. As long as the person goes in, they have never come out alive before. So �� So �� he might still �� be alive �� right now."


    Talking to the back, Heavenly Tiger King''s voice became weaker and weaker.


    Saying that White Light was still alive, even he himself did not quite believe it.


    If White Light still had a trace of possibility of being alive, he would not deceive Ye Yuan either, saying that White Light was just being locked up.


    However, Ye Yuan''s bone-piercing icy aura immediately thawed significantly.


    An additional trace of hope appeared in his eyes.


    As long as it was not Heavenly Tiger King killing him himself, then he still had a glimmer of hope of survival.


    Ye Yuan believed all along that White Light was not such an ill-fated person!


    Following Ye Yuan putting away the Junyi Sword, the murderous aura on him dissipated considerably. That lofty suppression force on Heavenly Tiger King''s body also disappeared along with it.


    Heavenly Tiger King was shocked in his heart. He was completely unable to imagine what kind of strength the other party had, to be able to make him unable to even use demonic divine essence!


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Tiger King coldly and said, "Speak, what''s the deal with this Magic Eye Grotto! You should be clear that you don''t have a second chance!"


    "Dare not, dare not! Heavenly Tiger will definitely say all that I know and say it without reserve!"


    How did the current Heavenly Tiger King still have any mettle of a hegemon of a region?


    In front of Ye Yuan, he was like a well-behaved little kitten, meek to the extreme.


    He knew that that powerhouse hiding in the dark only needed a thought to be able to kill him!


    Heavenly Tiger King deliberately shrunk his body, becoming half a size shorter than Ye Yuan. He carefully paid attention to his wording before slowly saying, "The Skydemon Mountain Range under our Empyrean Cloudridge''s command has three forbidden lands: Purple Void Summit, Cloudsea Bamboo Forest, as well as the Magic Eye Grotto. Purple Void Summit is the roosting place of Empyrean Cloudridge, while the other two are death zones! No one knows what''s inside the Magic Eye Grotto. But I heard that back then, there was a rank six great demon who had once gone in before. However, he never came out again. Since then, no one dare to enter anymore."


    Speaking up to here, Heavenly Tiger King could not resist sneaking a peek at Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan was still emotionless, unable to discern what he was thinking at all.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan turned around and walked over toward Tigerheart again.


    The Heavenly Tiger King looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and discovered that he actually started treating Tigerheart again!


    Under Ye Yuan''s marvelous skills, Tigerheart''s heart grew in strength little by little.


    After five days, Tigerheart appeared in front of the Heavenly Tiger King brimming with vitality and vigor.


    Until now, the Heavenly Tiger King still did not quite dare to believe it. He said to Ye Yuan gratefully, "Many thanks, Your Excellency!"


    Ye Yuan had a cold face and pointed at Tigerheart as he said, "Don''t be in a rush to thank me first. He has to enter the Magic Eye Grotto together with me!"


    The Heavenly Tiger King did not have time to be happy yet and his tiger body trembled as he cried out in shock, "This �� How can this do?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "If I''m unable to come out, that person naturally won''t eradicate your Heavenly Tiger Mountain. Your son will be buried in death for me and my brother! This is the karma that you planted yourself, so you have to bear the consequence!"


    Ye Yuan was clearly in his heart, Wing wanted to find an opponent that could rival him, and not nurture a worthless wretch who grew up in a greenhouse.


    If not for the sake of rescuing White Light, Ye Yuan also would not make the temple send an expert over.


    As for entering the Magic Eye Grotto, that was clearly impossible.


    And if Ye Yuan died inside the Magic Eye Grotto, everything was naturally dropped!

 1774 Void Realm, Sundered Boundary

    If he had long known what would happen today, why didn''t he wait longer?


    At least, Tigerheart did not really die, right?


    Upon entering the Magic Eye Grotto, it was completely impossible for a person to survive.


    It was said that even Empyrean Cloudridge did not dare to enter deep inside!


    Right at this time, Tigerheart suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Father, let me go!"


    Heavenly Tiger King''s tiger body trembled, looked at Tigerheart, and said, "If you go, there''s no possibility of coming out again!"


    Tigerheart let out a sigh and said, "Father, Tigerheart living a second life is overwhelmed with many emotions! This matter was us harming the innocent in the first place. We were at fault first. Lord Ye Yuan''s loyalty is mind-boggling, not scrupling to enter the Magic Eye Grotto for his brother. What do I, Tigerheart, have to fear? If His Excellency dies inside, I''ll accompany him! This is what us father and son owe him!"


    In an instant, everyone within the cave did not seem to know Tigerheart anymore.


    In the past, Tigerheart was arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone and everything, like a child who never grew up.


    But experiencing life and death this time, it was as if his entire person had changed.


    Ye Yuan glanced at Tigerheart rather surprisedly, also not expecting that he would actually take the initiative to request to enter with him.


    But very soon, he understood.


    Between life and death, one could have a great awakening.


    The current Tigerheart was like him back then.


    Entering the Magic Eye Grotto this time, if he did not die, Tigerheart would definitely have great accomplishments in the future.


    Heavenly Tiger King had a conflicted look. Finally, he still heaved a long sigh and said, "Forget it. You go with him!"


    ...


    Standing in front of the Magic Eye Grotto, Ye Yuan seemed to see a primitive behemoth currently opening its gaping maws, wanting to swallow this mountain in one bite.


    The light outside was clearly very good. But such a large cave, one actually could not even see the entrance of the cave!


    Inside was endless darkness.


    The Heavenly Tiger King looked at that cave entrance and said with a fearful look, "This place is the Magic Eye Grotto. No one has ever known what''s inside and no one dares to go in as well."


    Clearly, he also felt the terror of this Magic Eye Grotto.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and slowly walked over toward the Magic Eye Grotto.


    Tigerheart said to the Heavenly Tiger King, "This child is going. Father, take care!"


    Finished talking, Tigerheart jogged along and followed behind Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes. When he looked back, how was there still the Skydemon Mountain Range''s shadow?


    "Your Excellency, we �� seem to have come to another space!" Tigerheart said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like this so-called Magic Eye Grotto is an entrance to another space. Furthermore, this entrance is one-directional, we can''t go back anymore."


    Tigerheart could not help being overjoyed when he heard that and said, "In that case, this place isn''t a death zone. Then Brother White Light should still be alive?"


    But Ye Yuan did not have any joy on his face. Clearly, he was not as optimistic as Tigerheart.


    "This place isn''t a nice place, but there''s always an additional glimmer of hope. But I hope that I can find him. You should be able to break through to late-stage rank four after you eat it. Wait until after you break through, then we''ll set off again."


    While talking, Ye Yuan threw Tigerheart a medicinal pill.


    Tigerheart said in surprise, "This �� This is a void spirit divine-grade Blazing Sun Skyflame Pill! Could this medicinal pill be refined by Your Excellency?"


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "If I didn''t have this bit of ability, could I bring you back to life?"


    When Tigerheart heard that, he said embarrassedly, "Haha, makes sense. However, doesn''t Your Excellency blame me for harming Brother White Light?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "This wasn''t your original intention. I was angry at your father maligning the innocent indiscriminately. Moreover, every injustice had its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. This matter can''t be blamed on you."


    The moment Tigerheart heard, he could not resist saying, "Actually, Father he ��"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and interrupted, "You don''t need to explain. If White Light is fine, everything is naturally easy to discuss."


    Tigerheart did not dare to say any more words and could only secretly pray for White Light to be okay.


    He swallowed the demon divine pill that Ye Yuan gave and started breaking through in closed-seclusion.


    To the demon race, the bottleneck from middle-stage to late-stage was even harder to break through than the human race''s.


    Hence, the standing of priests in the demon race carried decisive weight.


    Even if the Heavenly Tiger King really wanted to massacre Tiger Bright Imperial City, he also did not dare to do anything to the Priest Temple.


    Otherwise, he would die without even knowing how he died.


    Tigerheart''s strength was similar to Blackpupil''s and White Light''s. Presently, White Light''s strength already reached peak middle-stage rank four as well.


    In-between this, they likely could not dispense with a bout of lucky chances.


    Now, Ye Yuan produced the void spirit divine-grade Blazing Sun Skyflame Pill the moment he took action. Helping Tigerheart to break through was naturally something that was achieved without extra effort.


    After Tigerheart went into meditation, Ye Yuan set up an array formation, isolating his aura. He then started surveying the vicinity.


    This place was a region of bleak and desolation; quarry rocks and craggy rocks.


    Furthermore, this place was completely in darkness, unable to see one''s fingers when the hand was stretched out.


    "Senior, what place is this?"


    Dustless had vast experiences and knowledge. Facing this kind of unknown place, Ye Yuan naturally had to consult him.


    Dustless shook his head and said, "I''ve never seen this kind of place before as well. But looking at it, it''s like a sundered boundary between the Heavenspan World and the Void Realms."


    "Void Realm? Sundered boundary?" It was still Ye Yuan''s first place hearing these terms and could not help but wonder.


    Dustless said, "The Heavenspan World has existed for God knows how many hundreds of millions of years already. The small worlds left behind are too many to enumerate. Small worlds will gradually die along with the passage of time. But some major powers can connect their small worlds with the Heavenspan World, becoming one with the Heavenspan World. At the same time, it stands independent outside of the Heavenspan World. This kind of small world is extremely stable and people won''t easily die. They will leave behind their legacies and descendants there, living and propagating. Places like this are called Void Realms. And the place of transit between Void Realms and the Heavenspan World are known as sundered boundaries! This kind of place is very unique and will tend to give rise to some powerful existences."


    Ye Yuan was surprised inwardly, not expecting that the Heavenspan World still had this kind of place.


    The world was truly so big that there was nothing to be surprised about!


    However, he frowned and said, "No wonder I keep feeling that this place is threatened by a crisis of danger. Looks like this sundered boundary likely has some powerful existence!"


    Dustless nodded and said, "I''m afraid so!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s face changed. A black shadow tore across the night sky, heading toward Tigerheart who was currently at the juncture of breaking through.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan brandished his long sword and actually reached first despite launching later, stabbing at that black shadow.


    Bang!


    That black shadow was directly hacked by Ye Yuan''s one sword.


    "Howl, howl!"


    The black shadow emitted yelping cries when it felt pain.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, only then, discerning that this was a ferocious black wolf.


    The might of its strength actually already reached late-stage rank four.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was secretly shocked. This black wolf was actually completely unscathed taking on a sword from him!


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked. This hungry wolf had blood-shot eyes. Saliva was dribbling down its mouth as if it was currently in a state of rampage.


    But right at this time, one dark shadow after another suddenly appeared in the darkness.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked around. Tigerheart and he were actually already surrounded by hundreds of fierce beasts.


    These fierce beasts'' conditions were the same as that black wolf''s.

 1775 Fierce Fighting With Fierce Beasts

    Among the hundreds of fierce beasts, there was one with an extremely ferocious imposing momentum. It actually already reached peak late-stage rank four!


    This kind of strength was an existence rivaling a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was already at the Fifth Firmament Divine Vortex Realm. Even facing Eighth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses, he did not fear in the least bit too.


    At this time, a Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast had an outer-appearance similar to that of a reckless bull, but its aura was comparable to that of a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    With Ye Yuan''s movement technique, if he really wanted to escape, this Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast might not be able to catch up.


    It was just that right now, Tigerheart was currently at a critical juncture of breaking through. Once he left, the other fierce beasts would definitely attack and chomp on him until not even dregs remained.


    If it were others, their first thought at this time would be to run away.


    But this was Ye Yuan!


    Seemingly feeling the powerful pressure from the surrounding fierce beasts, Tigerheart''s aura became disorderly.


    His breakthrough had reached the most critical juncture. Once something went wrong at this time, his realm would fall if it was minor. If severe, his foundation would be damaged and it would be hard to recover to the peak again.


    "Right now, you don''t need to think about anything. Focus on breaking through, and leave the rest to me! The sooner you break through successfully, the sooner we can break free."


    Ye Yuan''s words were transmitted into Tigerheart''s ears. Very soon, his aura became much more stable.


    Ye Yuan looked at ferocious fierce beasts and let out a sigh as he said, "Looks like I can only risk it and wait for Tigerheart to break through successfully!"


    Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ye Yuan. It was precisely Ning Tianping.


    Following the increase of Ye Yuan''s strength, the times when Ning Tianping could help Ye Yuan were already not much.


    These few years, he had always been cultivating in closed-seclusion inside the Purple Extreme Hall.


    Under Mo Lifei''s devoted training and with the help of Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills, he already broke through the bottleneck presently. He successfully became a Seventh Firmament Divine Lord.


    "Your Excellency, this ��"


    The moment Ning Tianping came out and saw such a shocking scene, he could not resist changing expression agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You stand guard over this guy! Don''t let fierce beasts come close. Leave the rest to me!"


    Ning Tianping''s face changed and he said, "But Your Excellency, that fierce beast is too strong!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I''m not risking my life with it either, so afraid of what?"


    Facing such a perilous scene, but he could only support from the sidelines, how unwilling!


    Ye Yuan brandished his long sword, figure shooting out like lightning, becoming erratic in the air.


    The moment he attacked, it was the certain-kill Spirit Concealing Sword!


    Puchi!


    That black wolf previously was directly cleaved into two halves by Ye Yuan''s sword, dying until he could not be deader.


    While his attack also successfully aroused the wildness of all of the fierce beasts.


    "Roar, roar, roar!"


    In the silent wilderness, hundreds of fierce beasts bellowed frenziedly, appearing extremely horrifying.


    Ye Yuan attracted all of the fierce beasts all at once.


    In the beast horde, Ye Yuan''s figure flickered indeterminately, shuttled back and forth in space.


    The moment he made his move, a fierce beast was killed.


    But right at this time, that peak late-stage rank four fierce beast attacked.


    "Roar!"


    It was only to see that Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast roared. The surroundings immediately turned into a sea of lightning.


    Ye Yuan''s expression changed. This lightning was too strong and actually had the effect of freezing space, making his spatial law unable to execute smoothly.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan''s greatest reliance was spatial law.


    If his movement technique was being restricted, he would really be dead.


    This Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast was clearly not so simple.


    "Roar!"


    With another roar, that Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast took a step, figure turning into an afterimage, butting over toward Ye Yuan.


    This fierce beast was incomparably fast, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    Puchi!


    Those sharp bull horns directly stabbed two large holes in a late-stage rank four demonic beast.


    At the critical moment, Ye Yuan broke free from the restraints of the lightning and escaped into the void.


    Far away, when Ning Tianping saw the scene just now, he turned pale with fright.


    Only after seeing Ye Yuan dodge this horrifying blow did he let out a sigh in relief.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan directly spewed out a large mouthful of blood. Clearly, that blow earlier, he was still injured by the power of laws.


    Ye Yuan did not dare to stay, fighting as he left, avoiding that area of lightning.


    He believed that this kind of horrifying lightning power, it was impossible for that Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast to release it frequently too.


    Ning Tianping''s complexion was white as a sheet, his heart almost jumping out.


    He had not seen Ye Yuan take action for very long. So many years had passed, and Ye Yuan''s strength had become increasingly terrifying.


    A Divine Lord Realm who still had the strength to counter-attack under the encirclement of so many fierce beasts, one likely could not find a second person, right?


    Suddenly, his face changed, a handful of fierce beasts sprinted over toward his side.


    Immediately, Ning Tianping raised his long sword and guardedTigerheart.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan restrained the vast majority of the fierce beasts'' attention. Those that headed over here were merely some of the weaker fierce beasts.


    Presently, under Mo Lifei''s guidance, Ning Tianping''s strength also grew with each passing day.


    Wandering among more than a dozen fierce beasts, he did not fear in the slightest too.


    Even though he could not accomplish Ye Yuan''s casual killing, ordinary fierce beasts could not get close to him as well.


    At Ye Yuan''s side, the fierce beasts could not be killed finish.


    Those that he could casually kill off were all some of the weaker fierce beasts.


    But those fierce beasts whose strength surpassed late-stage rank four. Hence, wanting to kill them was not so simple anymore.


    But even so, there were also seven to eight dead bodies of late-stage rank four fierce beasts at this time collapsed on the ground.


    As for weaker fierce beasts, even more collapsed on the ground.


    Falling into a heavy encirclement, Ye Yuan also felt unprecedented pressure.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan discovered that there were two late-stage rank four fierce beasts that already rushed to Ning Tianping''s side.


    He could not help being greatly alarmed. With Ning Tianping''s current strength, he absolutely could not block those two late-stage rank four fierce beasts'' assault.


    Moreover, he was already quite occupied with things.


    Whoosh!


    Two terrifying sword lights arrived with a howl. Two fierce beasts fell to the ground at the sound of it.


    But right at this time, that Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast also shot an electric ball out of its mouth.


    In order to kill those two fierce beasts, Ye Yuan opened the gates wide at this time. It was already too late to want to avoid.


    But this scene, Ye Yuan had long expected it.


    Blue patterns flashed on his body, golden light erupted.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan forcefully suffered this blow, his entire body akin to being struck by lightning, fresh blood spraying wildly as he directly flew out several thousand feet away.


    Right at this time, Tigerheart''s breakthrough finally completed!


    Seeing the corpses of the fierce beasts all over the ground, Tigerheart''s heart was greatly shaken.


    "This �� This was all done by Lord Ye Yuan? Just how terrifying is his strength?!"


    Tigerheart had never thought that a human''s strength could actually be daunting to such an extent.


    Facing the encirclement of a peak late-stage rank four fierce beast as well as a large number of fierce beasts, he was actually still able to counter-attack so sharply.


    Lord Ye Yuan''s strength was really too horrifying.


    One had to know, he was just a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord!


    "You dumb tiger, what are you still stoning for? Quickly go save His Excellency!"


    Ning Tianping''s eyes could not help turning bloodshot when he saw Ye Yuan getting injured.


    Seeing that Tigerheart was actually in a daze there, he could not refrain from bellowing loudly.

 1776 Give to You.

    Breaking through to late-stage rank four, Tigerheart''s speed increased explosively, arriving at Ye Yuan''s side in a blink of an eye. He directly hauled Ye Yuan up and left.


    Getting hit by only a single move, Ye Yuan''s insides were in upheaval, already sustaining serious injuries.


    But at this time, Ning Tianping fell into heavy encirclement and found it very hard to break free.


    Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his injuries. Waving his hand, it was a dozen over rays of sword light, directly hacking those fierce beasts into pieces.


    "Go!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, pulling Ning Tianping and getting on the tiger back together.


    Behind them, a group of fierce beasts was in hot pursuit.


    Fortunately, Tigerheart''s speed was extremely fast. Those fierce beasts could not catch up for the time being.


    "Are you alright, Your Excellency?" Ning Tianping asked with a concerned look.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I''m fine! I''ll recover from my injuries first!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill and immediately started recuperating from his injuries on Tigerheart''s back.


    That blow from the Sky Thunder Raging Ox Beast was extremely heavy. If it were an ordinary Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, they would have long been slaughtered.


    "This Heavenly Dao tattoo is indeed powerful. Otherwise, even if I have the Nine Transformations Golden Body, I probably couldn''t withstand this blow either, right?" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion in his heart.


    Entering the Heavenspan Mountain''s realm fog that time and obtaining this Heavenspan Mountain tattoo, he truly benefited endlessly.


    After a short while, Ye Yuan''s complexion gradually became rosy.


    "Your Excellency, that bunch of fierce beasts are like crazy, chasing us all the way and not letting us go!" Tigerheart said.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell slightly and he said, "These fierce beasts seem to want to force us to a certain place! I feel that they seem to be controlled by something."


    From the beginning, Ye Yuan felt that the states of these fierce beasts were not right.


    The moment these words came out, Tigerheart and Ning Tianping''s expressions both changed drastically.


    "This �� Then what should we do?" Ning Tianping said worriedly.


    Ye Yuan mused for a moment, his eyes revealing a firm look as he said, "Since someone wants to meet us, then let''s make a trip!"


    Ning Tianping and Tigerheart were naturally very worried. But since Ye Yuan made a decision, they still carried it out firmly.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not want to go through dangers. But if White Light was thrown in, then he very likely encountered danger too.


    Since that was the case, he had to take this risk.


    Before approaching yet, a gust of Yin wind directly blew over, making the three people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.


    "Your Excellency, what a terrifying Yin wind. There''s likely an extremely powerful existence inside here!" Ning Tianping said.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell and he said, "Go in!"


    Tigerheart did not hesitate in the slightest. With a few lunges, he dashed straight in.


    "Your Excellency, those fierce beasts �� didn''t seem to have chased in!" Tigerheart said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like it was someone who wanted us to enter this place! Come, let''s go in. I want to take a look and what the hell this place has."


    ...


    After Ye Yuan three people''s figures disappeared, four to five figures appeared at the entrance of the cave.


    These few people were each riding a mount.


    "Heh, that rank five evil spirit inside, we were just vexed over being unable to deal with it. I didn''t expect that there were two suckers who delivered themselves to the doorstep," said one of the gray-robed men[1].


    The gray-robed man rode a white tiger, his aura seemingly very powerful.


    "It''s still Eldest Senior Brother who is brilliant! Evil spirits like to possess humans the most. Once it seizes possession of those two scapegoats, it will definitely be in a period of weakness. At that time, we''ll be able to sit down and reap the spoils without lifting a finger. The Yin Spirit Stone and the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass inside this Blackspirit Cave will be ours!" Beside the gray-robed man, a girl dressed in a fiery-red long skirt said.


    "Haha, as long as we get these two items, our Spirit Controlling Sect will definitely take first place in this trial." Another person said.


    The gray-robed man continued saying, "Speaking of which, that Fifth Firmament Divine Lord guy has such powerful strength! Under the encirclement and assault of hundreds of fierce beasts, he could actually make a full retreat. If his realm was a little higher, I''m afraid we won''t even be his match."


    Speaking of this, the other few people''s faces turned slightly apprehensive.


    Ye Yuan three people''s actions had actually always been under their surveillance.


    But the combat power that Ye Yuan exhibited made each and every one of them extremely shocked.


    A Fifth Firmament Divine Lord was actually still able to make a full retreat under the encirclement and suppression of a group of late-stage rank four fierce beasts.


    What was even more frightening was that there was even a peak late-stage rank four fierce beast inside.


    At first, they only wanted to scare Ye Yuan and force Ye Yuan away.


    As for Tigerheart''s life or death, they did not care at all.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually did not escape and instead rushed into the beast horde alone.


    Fortunately, that peak late-stage rank four fierce beast''s strength was quite powerful and could still suppress Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, it would really be tough for them to operate.


    Even so, they were also startled by the combat power Ye Yuan displayed.


    The face of the woman in red clothes also revealed a look of surprise and said, "The cultivation method that this guy cultivates is different from ours. He likely came in from the Heavenspan World. Could it be that �� the Heavenspan World''s martial artists are all so powerful?"


    The gray-robed man shook his head and said, "Impossible! That kid is definitely a top prodigy in the Heavenspan World! Sword Dao law fused with third firmament spatial law, such talent is rare in the world. Even in the Heavenspan World, it''s absolutely impossible for him to be an unknown person too. He must be a major faction''s top disciple. However, this has nothing to do with us. Either way, he''s dead for sure. Let''s go in. I reckon that that kid had already been taken possession of right now. Dragging it on won''t be good for us."


    Finished talking, the few people entered inside the cave together.


    This cave was very similar to the Yin Wind Den that Ye Yuan entered back then. But the evil spirits inside were clearly much more powerful compared to the Yin Wind Den.


    However, the strengths of the Spirit Controlling Sect''s people were also extremely strong.


    Especially the gray-robed man, his strength already reached half-step Celestial Deity Realm, the strongest existence among the party.


    Ordinary evil spirits could not approach him at all.


    The party gradually went deep in and also became especially careful.


    Suddenly, two figures appeared ahead. The gray-robed man focused his eyes and looked. Who was it if not Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping?


    The gray-robed man swept a glance around the cave and discovered that there was indeed no longer that rank five evil spirit, and was immediately overjoyed.


    "Hahaha, you two fools, indeed seized possession of these two humans! Now, I''ll send you guys on your way! The Yin Spirit Stone and the Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass are our Spirit Controlling Sect''s!" said the gray-robed man as he laughed loudly.


    Right at this time, an icy-cold aura came out from Ye Yuan''s body.


    He suddenly opened his mouth, looked at the gray-robed man, and said, "You deserve death!"


    The gray-robed man was indifferent and said coolly, "I deserve death? Hahaha, if you were at your prime, I''d be somewhat scared of you. This appearance right now, best forget about this kind of threatening!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was icy-cold, his body emitting waves of gloomy and cold aura.


    A terrifying figure drifted out of Ye Yuan''s body.


    The gray-robed man''s expression changed drastically and he said in disbelief, "This �� How is this possible? You �� You weren''t possessed?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Like to be possessed so much? Then, I''ll give him to you!"


    [1] I don''t know why 2 instead of 3, maybe Tigerheart wasn''t considered since they were riding on his back?

 1777 Big Brother Is Here to Pick You Up

    Furthermore, looking at this appearance, this evil spirit was actually even being used by Ye Yuan currently!


    "L-Little Brother, actually �� actually, this was all a misunderstanding!" the gray-robed man said with an ugly expression.


    He never would have thought that the scheme he designed meticulously actually buried him alive currently.


    Not only was this kid not possessed, he actually even used this evil spirit to deal with him instead.


    One should not look at how he was currently a half-step Celestial Deity. Because in front of a rank five evil spirit, it was still not enough to look at.


    That was an existence that could rival Celestial Deity Realm!


    "Misunderstanding? Those fierce beasts outside were all controlled by you, right? Driving us in was in order to have this rank five evil spirit seize possession. Don''t tell me that this wasn''t your doing!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    The gray-robed man''s expression was incomparably ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually even guessed this.


    "Little Brother, you guys should be both from the Heavenspan World, right? Bamboo Groove Void Realm doesn''t allow the appearance of the Heavenspan World''s humans. We''re all the Spirit Controlling Sect''s disciples, having a trial in this sundered boundary. In order to seize the Yin Spirit Stone and Nine Yin Soul Devouring Grass inside this cave, that''s why we made this decision. Our Spirit Controlling Sect''s status inside the Bamboo Groove Void Realm is very high. As long as Little Brother you let us off, our Spirit Controlling Sect will definitely keep you safe!" The gray-robed man''s eyes swiveled as he blurted out more information.


    He was certain that Ye Yuan was a genius who was inexperienced in the affairs of the world. This time, he likely came out to train, that was why he strayed into the sundered boundary.


    This kind of people, intimidating with threats and beguiling with benefits a little, it was very easy to fall for it.


    Either way, Ye Yuan was completely clueless about the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s affairs.


    Sure enough, when Ye Yuan heard the gray-robed man''s words, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Want me to let you all off, also can. But you have to promise me a condition!"


    The moment the gray-robed man heard, he could not help being wildly elated in his heart, secretly thinking that this punk was indeed easy to hoodwink!


    He hurriedly said, "Whatever condition Little Brother has, feel free to speak up. Just take it as we offended Little Brother and making an apology to you."


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Your mount is pretty good, I want it!"


    The gray-robed man''s expression changed, his face revealing a look of reluctance.


    The gray-robed man had an awkward look. This white tiger''s bloodline was extremely pure. There was a lot of room for future development, not like his other mounts.


    For this, he expended considerable effort.


    The gray-robed man thought, this kid knows good stuff, to actually want my white tiger the moment he opened his mouth! Forget it, hold him steady first before talking. As long as I trick him back to the sect, wouldn''t this white tiger still be mine?


    "H-Haha, not hiding from little brother, but I really can''t quite bear to part with it. But just now, it was indeed our fault. Then I''ll bear the pain and give it to Little Brother!"


    The gray-robed man had a reluctant look as well, lightly patting the white tiger. The white tiger came to Ye Yuan''s side very obediently.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan''s heart was full of monstrous killing intent.


    It was just that he did not reveal a single trace of it.


    That was right, this white tiger was none other than precisely White Light!


    The reason why he did not take action for so long was also precisely because of White Light.


    Ye Yuan recognized him the moment he laid eyes on him.


    But very clearly, White Light did not recognize him.


    Or should he say, he was unable to recognize Ye Yuan at all!


    Ye Yuan did not understand this Spirit Controlling Sect''s methods and did not dare to easily show it.


    The current White Light was like a docile kitten. If the gray-robed man made him go east, he absolutely would not head west.


    Without a doubt, he was controlled by this Spirit Controlling Sect''s disciple with some kind of method.


    At the thought that his brother was actually at the mercy of others like so, the killing intent in Ye Yuan''s heart was practically about to burst his body.


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest clue about the Bamboo Groove Void Realm. If this Spirit Controlling Sect''s method had some unique aspects, a moment of impulsiveness would harm White Light instead.


    Although Ye Yuan was confident, it was not to the point of arrogance yet.


    He did not have confidence that he could get rid of this beast controlling method.


    Ye Yuan lightly stroked White Light''s fur, revealing a very pleased expression.


    "Mn, indeed pretty good! What you should do, don''t need me to teach you, right?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    The gray-robed man chuckled and said, "Little Brother don''t blame, this beast is a transformed demonic beast and doesn''t listen to taming. That''s why I used the Dark Soul Pearl to suppress his beast soul. Originally, I planned on bringing him to the Spirit Controlling Sect to tame him properly and make him form a spirit beast contract with me. Since Little Brother likes him, then I''ll give the Dark Soul Pearl together to Little Brother."


    The gray-robed man had a smile on his face, as if very sincere.


    When doing a favor, go all the way. Either way, this Dark Soul Pearl would still return to his hands in the end.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help saying with great interest, "Oh? Your Spirit Controlling Sect is indeed a little interesting. This kind of means isn''t commonly seen in the Heavenspan World. I wonder how you plan on taming him?"


    The gray-robed man chortled loudly and said, "These demonic beasts are all inherently lowly beings! Want to tame him, one naturally has to teach him a good lesson, then continuously suppress his beast soul with my Spirit Controlling Sect''s secret art. Even if he''s the reincarnation of Buddha''s warrior attendant, he''ll also have no choice but to submit in the end."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, flames of fury flared up in his heart all at once.


    He virtually used all of his strength before controlling his anger.


    "Oh? So that''s how it is. Then what''s that Dark Soul Pearl? How to use it?"


    Ye Yuan was like a curious baby at this time, continuously inquiring about the Spirit Controlling Sect''s methods.


    The gray-robed man was patient, silently chanting the spell. A surge of boundless soul force gushed out, entering straight into White Light''s sea of consciousness.


    Then, Ye Yuan saw a dark-black pearl slowly fly out.


    And right at this time, White Light''s eyes finally turned from turbid to clear.


    When he saw Ye Yuan, his entire body could not help trembling, tears bursting out.


    "B-Big Brother!"


    Ye Yuan''s face finally revealed a radiant smile. Lighting stroking that soft fur of White Light, he revealed a trace of a tender smile and said, "Alright, everything is over, Big Brother is here to pick you up!"


    When the Spirit Controlling Sect''s people saw this scene, their countenance could not help changing.


    Especially the gray-robed man, his expression became extremely ugly.


    "Punk, turns out that you guys know each other! You �� You tricked me?"


    At this point, how did the gray-robed man still not know what Ye Yuan''s goal was?


    It was just that he never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually knew this white tiger!


    Now only did he know that this kid was clearly aiming for the white tiger!


    He thought that he deceived Ye Yuan, but he did not know that he had been led by the nose by Ye Yuan all along.


    He regretted in his heart!


    It turned out that he had a trump card in his hands, but he gave it to the other party for free!


    "Big Brother, I �� I ��"


    Along the way, White Light had suffered no idea how much hardship. Being overcome by sorrow at this time, he could not control anymore and dug into Ye Yuan''s embrace like a child, bursting into tears.


    Ye Yuan hugged White Light''s head and said, "Big Brother knows that you suffered a lot of hardships. You rest assured, Big Brother will help you square the accounts one by one! Now, start squaring it from here!"

 1778 Heavenly Ghost Incarnation

    Ye Yuan''s eyes turned sharp, his gaze looking at the gray-robed man was icy-cold.


    The gray-robed man''s expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "So what? If you dare to kill me, it''s absolutely impossible to escape out of the sundered boundary! I, Sikong Xiu, am the Spirit Controlling Sect''s core disciple! If you dare kill me, the Spirit Controlling Sect won''t let you off!"


    At this time, the gray-robed man could only rest his hopes on that the Spirit Controlling Sect''s prestige could suppress Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "Who cares who the hell you are? If you dare to humiliate my brother, there''s only one outcome, and that''s death!"


    While talking, Ye Yuan''s thought stirred, that evil spirit''s aura suddenly erupted.


    A chill that penetrated to the bones instantly made the temperature in the cave plummet to freezing point.


    "Kid, do you really think that we''re lambs waiting to be slaughtered? Our Spirit Controlling Sect is far stronger than you imagine!"


    Sikong Xiu gave a cold laugh, powerful soul force spewing out.


    When his fellow disciples saw the situation, their expressions became incomparably ugly.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Sikong, we really have to use this move?"


    "Yeah, Senior Apprentice Brother Sikong. Using this move, we''ll fall back several minor realms!"


    Clearly, the side-effect of this move was immense. Otherwise, Sikong Xiu also would not wait until now before using it.


    Sikong Xiu gave a cold laugh and said, "If cultivation realm is gone, it can be cultivated again. Losing your lives, can you all still revive? At this point, do we still have a choice?"


    It was not that the rest did not understand this logic. It was just that their own strength was cultivated bitterly. Once it fell, wanting to cultivate it back would have to expend countless times again.


    This undoubtedly needed immense courage for them.


    But at this time, they clearly had no options already.


    The group of Spirit Controlling Sect disciples'' soul forces virtually burst forth at the same time. These soul forces actually produced a strong resonance.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene with a cold face and said coolly, "Kill!"


    The evil spirit emitted a shrill screech, pouncing over toward the Spirit Controlling Sect disciples.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Sikong Xiu''s mouth and he said, "How can the might of my Spirit Controlling Sect be what an ant like you can imagine? A measly evil spirit, do you really think that you can take down us? Oh guardian of the sect, Spirit Controlling Sect disciple, Sikong Xiu, offers a sacrifice with soul force and divine essence, to summon the guardian sacred beast!"


    The other disciples and Sikong Xiu were the same, chanting away.


    An enormous claw that seemingly came from great antiquity probed out of the void!


    This enormous claw gave off a powerful aura. It was actually a level stronger than even the evil spirit!


    Rumble!


    Two mighty rank five powerhouses directly collided together.


    But that enormous claw was clearly a notch greater, directly smacking the rank five evil spirit flying with one claw.


    That evil spirit''s aura immediately withered significantly.


    Then, an enormous beast covered in silver scales all over slowly stepped out of the void.


    The behemoth''s body gave off an unfathomable aura.


    Ning Tianping''s face changed and he said, "This �� This is the beast soul of a Silverscale Single-Horned Beast! What a powerful beast soul!"


    The auras of Sikong Xiu and the rest immediately wilted considerably after this behemoth appeared.


    But Sikong Xiu was incomparably excited and said with a big laugh, "Punk, you forced me! This Silverscale Single-Horned Beast is our sect''s guardian sacred beast, a former rank seven powerful existence! Now, suffer his wrath well!"


    Tigerheart actually started shuddering in front of this Silverscale Single-Horned Beast''s beast soul.


    Even White Light was also deathly pale, akin to facing a great enemy.


    "Your Excellency, this �� this Silverscale Single-Horned Beast is too powerful, it''s not what we can rival at all!" Tigerheart said tremblingly.


    Ye Yuan looked at that beast soul and said with a cold smile, "Guardian sacred beast? A rank seven powerful existence, but you guys actually wiped away the consciousness of his beast soul and imprisoned him inside the sect, making him unable to reincarnate for all of eternity, guarding the sect generation after generation. This kind of sect, how vicious!"


    Dustless saw through with one glance that this beast soul was merely a small portion of the main body.


    Clearly, with the strength of these people in front of them, summon at this kind of power was already the limit.


    However, the baleful aura on this beast soul was very strong, it did not willingly defend the sect, but it was the Spirit Controlling Sect that imprisoned it in a certain place with a special method, offering it up for the sect disciples to control.


    This kind of method was extremely cruel, the beast soul would never reincarnate for all of eternity!


    Rank seven divine beast, that was a powerful existence comparable to heavenly empyreans. Each one was an incomparably proud existence, to actually be controlled by a bunch of trash.


    This was simply the trampling of dignity to a rank seven divine beast.


    Sikong Xiu gave a cold laugh and said, "So what? In the eyes of our Spirit Controlling Sect, fierce beasts and divine beasts are merely slaves provided for martial artists to control! They only need to obey our orders and do things! So what if a rank seven divine beast, isn''t it still a brutish animal?"


    Sikong Xiu was not ashamed in the slightest but took pride in it instead.


    A rank seven divine beast, what kind of proud existence was it? It actually became a brutish animal out of his mouth.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of a chill and he said in a cold voice, "Survival of the fittest in natural selection, this in itself has no cause for much criticism. But your Spirit Controlling Sect''s conduct is too cruel, going against nature and reason, being worse than even animals! You deserve death!"


    Sikong Xiu burst into laughter when he heard it and said, "It''s just too bad that you can''t kill me! That evil spirit of yours is too weak!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips and said with disdain, "Although this divine beast is strong, it''s just a pity that you guys are too weak. The beast soul summoned is merely just initial-stage rank five!"


    Sikong Xiu smiled and said, "Heh, dealing with that trash evil spirit of yours, it''s enough! Guardian sacred best, tear that punk into pieces for me!"


    "Roar!"


    An earth-shaking roar echoed out. That Silverscale Single-Horned Beast raised its enormous claw and smack over towards Ye Yuan.


    This claw carried a realm suppress that shocked the soul, powerful to the extreme.


    Even though it was just initial-stage rank five, he was once a rank seven powerful existence after all.


    That kind of pressure that came from the depths of the soul made people shudder.


    Even First Firmament Celestial Deity martial artists absolutely could not survive by a fluke under this claw!


    In comparison, Ye Yuan''s evil spirit was much weaker.


    "Hahaha, go to hell! A fool who overestimates his ability!"


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene coldly, his face not having the slightest change in countenance.


    Right at this time, an even more powerful soul force than the Silverscale Single-Horned Beast suddenly burst forth.


    "Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, 21st Dao, Heavenly Ghost Incarnation!"


    That evil spirit''s body suddenly expanded more than ten times, raised a ghost claw, and smashed over toward the Silverscale Single-Horned Beast.


    Bang!


    Sikong Xiu''s expression changed drastically, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Only to see the guardian sacred beast that they took great pains to summon dissipate with a loud bang under this punch!


    This evil spirit was suddenly more than ten times stronger than before!


    "Puu, puu, puu!"


    With the guardian sacred beast being defeated, these Spirit Controlling Sect disciples suffered great damage to their minds, all spurting fresh blood wildly, bodies flying out backward.


    Sikong Xiu''s expression was struck dumb with amazement as he looked at this scene and said, "This �� This is impossible! How can this evil spirit be so strong?!"

 1779 Humiliation

    Blasting away an initial-stage rank five beast soul with one punch, this kind of strength simply made people shocked.


    One had to know, this rank five evil spirit was not considered powerful.


    Even human first firmament celestial deities could defeat him.


    But the guardian sacred beast was actually directly killed in one shot!


    "This is your greatest reliance? What laughable pride!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were full of contempt.


    This beast soul was indeed powerful, but in front of the present Dustless, it was still not enough to look at.


    Following Ye Yuan''s strength gradually becoming stronger, the Soul Suppressing Pearl also recovered a lot of power.


    Although this rank five evil spirit was powerful, it did not unlock intelligence.


    After Dustless appeared, he directly subdued the evil spirit.


    Previously, it was all the evil spirit fighting instinctively.


    But just now, Dustless controlled the evil spirit''s actions through the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    With his Ghost Dao attainments, the power of this punch, even a Second Firmament Celestial Deity would also find it hard to resist, let alone the beast soul that Sikong Xiu summoned.


    The faces of the Spirit Controlling Sect''s people revealed despair. Only at this time did they deeply experience Ye Yuan''s might.


    Sikong Xiu''s face was ashen. Right now, they used their final trump card. Not only did they could not kill Ye Yuan, but their cultivation realms were also greatly damaged instead.


    The current Sikong Xiu, his realm already fell to Seventh Firmament Divine Lord.


    Even without borrowing the evil spirit''s strength, Ye Yuan could easily kill him too.


    "White Light, I''ll leave this guy to you. The humiliation that he gave you, get it back a thousand times over!" Ye Yuan turned around and said to White Light with a smile.


    The current White Light already recovered to human form. He looked at Sikong Xiu, eyes spewing fire.


    Walking out of the Immortal Grove World, he had yet to suffer such unprecedented humiliation before.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks, Big Brother! This guy''s life, I''m taking it!"


    Sikong Xiu was aware that he would not get away. Hearing that, he laughed wildly and said, "Lowly animal! Turning into a human form also can''t change the fact that you''re lowly! Just the likes of you also want to take my life?"


    Rage was written all over White Light''s face as he said in a solemn voice, "Big Brother has done it to this extent for me. If I still can''t kill you, I''m also not fit to be his brother anymore! Scoundrel Sikong, prepare to die!"


    On White Light''s body, the white tiger pressure virtually turned corporeal. It was only to see him turned into an afterimage, shooting over toward Sikong Xiu.


    Whoosh!


    His voice had yet to fade when a beam of sword light passed through the void, slashing directly on the Dark Soul Pearl.


    Clank!


    The strength of this sword was tremendous, directly hacking the Dark Soul Pearl flying, breaking free of Sikong Xiu''s grasp.


    Right at this moment, White Light''s figure already arrived!


    Bang!


    White Light''s punch smashed solidly on the right side of Sikong Xiu''s face, directly knocking him to the ground. Half of his face became distorted.


    The current White Light already reached the level of late-stage rank four as well.


    This punch was thrown in anger, how great was its power?


    Sikong Xiu''s eyes rolled back, clearly being smashed dizzy.


    White Light naturally knew that the Dark Soul Pearl was in Sikong Xiu''s hands, but he likewise knew that Ye Yuan would not let Sikong Xiu have an opportunity to attack.


    White Light''s trust in Ye Yuan was unconditional.


    Leaving his back to Ye Yuan, he was too at ease.


    White Light did not stop, following up with his victorious pursuit, pummeling Sikong Xiu.


    Taking advantage of the initiative, how could Sikong Xiu who originally had strength matching White Light''s still have any power to resist at this time?


    Ye Yuan just wanted to let White Light vent the grievances in his heart, he naturally would not give Sikong Xiu any chance for a fair fight.


    Ye Yuan picked up the Dark Soul Pearl and could not resist sizing it up.


    "Senior, this thing also seems to be a soul-type divine lord mystic treasure. It''s quite mysterious!" Ye Yuan communicated with Ye Yuan in his consciousness.


    Dustless nodded and said, "This object is refined specifically to target beast souls. It possesses extremely strong suppression effects, able to make the demon race''s beast souls produce the thought of submitting uncontrollably."


    Ye Yuan played with it for a while and suddenly said, "Senior, this thing is a soul-type divine lord mystic treasure, then can you �� alter it?"


    The moment Dustless heard, he immediately understood Ye Yuan''s meaning and smiled as he said with a nod, "Although beast souls and divine souls are two different forms, they are essentially the same. This old man just has to slightly add something extra and it can naturally work."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile.


    "White Light, alright!"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s yell, only then did White Light stop and spat fiercely.


    "Big Brother!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Vented your anger yet?"


    White Light grinned and said, "Feels much better!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Let you watch a show, it will feel even better."


    White Light''s eyes lit up, faintly revealing a look of anticipation.


    Ye Yuan came to the half-dead Sikong Xiu''s side. Lifting his hand, he drove the Dark Soul Pearl into his divine soul.


    At the same time, a mysterious power also entered his divine soul along with it.


    Immediately, Sikong Xiu''s eyes became hollow.


    When his fellow disciples saw this scene, their faces could not help changing drastically.


    That red-clothed girl said, "This �� How is this possible? The Dark Soul Pearl''s effect on humans is extremely weak. Senior Apprentice Brother Sikong has peak Divine Lord Realm divine soul, so how can the Dark Soul Pearl be effective?"


    How could she know that the level of the Soul Suppressing Pearl was much higher than this Dark Soul Pearl?


    With Dustless''s means, adding extra stuff was too easy.


    Ye Yuan cracked a smile and said, "Lie down!"


    Sikong Xiu seemed to have forgotten his pain, immediately laying on the ground like a dog.


    "Go, lick White Light''s shoes properly, lick until it''s clean!" Ye Yuan ordered.


    The current Sikong Xiu was exactly the same as the White Light before, obeying Ye Yuan''s orders involuntarily.


    Furthermore, this Dark Soul Pearl only suppressed the divine soul. Hence, what he was doing, he was perfectly aware.


    Otherwise, White Light also would not have such a strong sense of humiliation after recovering his freedom.


    Sikong Xiu crawled to White Light''s side like a dog and really started licking White Light''s shoes.


    Very soon, White Light''s shoes were licked very clean.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, the Dark Soul Pearl returned to his hand. Sikong Xiu''s eyes also recovered clarity.


    He looked at Ye Yuan, eyes bloodshot from anger as he said, "Punk, you dare to humiliate me like this?! I''ll fight it out with you!"


    White Light raised his feet and directly kicked him flying.


    Ye Yuan looked at him coldly and opened his mouth to say: "Now, feel humiliated? Do you feel what my brother experienced?"


    Sikong Xiu clutched his chest and gritted his teeth and said, "Pooh! How can he, a lowly brutish animal, be mentioned in the same breath with me?"


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is that so? What difference was there between you and an animal just now? As long as I''m willing, I can make you be an animal for life! Do you want to try it?"


    Sikong Xiu''s face changed, eyes revealing a look of fear.


    This guy in front of him was simply a devil!


    Seeing Sikong Xiu keep mum, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You relax, I feel it utterly beneath my dignity to use an animal like you! Doing these is purely in order to humiliate you! I''ll let you know that the outcome of bullying my brother is very serious! Now, you''re useless. So tell me everything you know about the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s situation!"

 1780 Heart of the Void Realm

    The current Sikong Xiu was already close to going mad, his dignity was already utterly ravaged.


    His hatred toward Ye Yuan also reached the peak.


    But Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, "You misunderstood. I didn''t have the intention of listening to you speak. What you say, I won''t believe it either. So, I''ll see for myself."


    Sikong Xiu froze when he heard that and laughed wildly as he said, "You want to soul-search? Hahaha, my Spirit Controlling Sect is most proficient in the divine soul path. My realm is also a lot higher than yours. You actually said to me that you want to soul-search? Ignorant fool!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Sikong Xiu very calmly and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Is that so?"


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan directly stomped Sikong Xiu to the ground with a foot, divine soul pouring into his sea of consciousness frenziedly.


    Sikong Xiu''s realm fell greatly, but his divine soul was still very powerful.


    Logically speaking, it was totally impossible for Ye Yuan to want to soul-search.


    Sikong Xiu naturally thought so as well. His soul force also poured out frenziedly, wanting to directly extinguish Ye Yuan''s divine soul.


    But right at this time, a mysterious energy was directly pumped into his sea of consciousness.


    His divine soul seemed to be instantly frozen, unable to move at all.


    That sort of feeling was like having his hands and feet bound up. He could only passively watch Ye Yuan''s divine soul searching willfully in his sea of consciousness.


    Sikong Xiu was overwhelmed with shame and anger. All of his secrets were displayed in front of Ye Yuan unreservedly.


    When the Spirit Controlling Sect disciples saw this scene, each and every one of their faces changed drastically.


    Ye Yuan really succeeded!


    This young man in front of them was too scary! Who on earth was he?


    After a slight while, Ye Yuan''s divine sense withdrew, his eyes revealing a ruminating expression.


    "Ye Yuan, I''m going to kill you! Kill you!"


    Sikong Xiu pounced over toward Ye Yuan with a roar. Ning Tianping flashed, directly sending him flying with a slap.


    The current Sikong Xiu was already an arrow at the end of its flight. With Ning Tianping''s current skills, dealing with him was easily accomplished.


    "A trash like you wants to kill His Excellency?" Ning Tianping said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan looked at Sikong Xiu and said with a cold smile, "Your Spirit Controlling Sect is really worse than animals! White Light, Tianping, Tigerheart, kill all of them, spare none."


    This Spirit Controlling Sect committed many evils and had utterly no humanity to speak of.


    This Sikong Xiu was even more wicked, raping and looting, committing all kinds of atrocities.


    Since he provoked him, Ye Yuan naturally would not be soft-hearted.


    These Spirit Controlling Sect disciples were all in very sluggish states currently because of summoning the guardian sacred beast. White Light three people disposed of those few like chopping vegetables.


    "Big Brother, I really didn''t think that you could actually search for me until here! If not for you, I probably ��"


    White Light''s expression dimmed. Thinking of that life worse than pigs and dogs from henceforth, he could not help feeling lingering fear.


    Ning Tianping could not resist saying, "Brother White Light, you don''t know how great a price His Excellency expended in order to find you."


    Ye Yuan glared fiercely and said angrily, "You talk too much!"


    Ning Tianping stuck out his tongue and sensibly shut up.


    White Light was moved inwardly. With Ning Tianping saying so, how could he still not understand in his heart?


    "Alright, don''t listen to this punk talk nonsense. It''s good that you''re alright." Ye Yuan patted White Light''s shoulder and said.


    White Light nodded his head and said no more.


    Between him and Ye Yuan already did not need to say too many feeble words to thank.


    If Ye Yuan was in trouble, he would likewise throw caution to the winds and go save him.


    Only after a bout of small talk did Ye Yuan know that White Light did not want to come to the Demon Divine Region on his own initiative, but he was compelled against his will.


    Back then, after he left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he accidentally stumbled into a grotto.


    White Light obtained the tiger clan''s legacy inside the grotto and was also trapped there for as long as several hundred years.


    Later, White Light''s strength advanced a lot, and he could finally walk out of the cave.


    Who knew that walking out from there, he already arrived at the Demon Divine Region.


    Then later on, Ye Yuan knew about it.


    When he knew the whole story, his entire person was stunned there.


    He did not think that he treated Blackpupil as a brother, but Blackpupil took him to be a fool.


    But after hearing the Blackpupil was tortured to death by the Heavenly Tiger King, White Light also felt at ease.


    No matter what, Big Brother already avenged him.


    "Big Brother, what should we do now? Did you find any useful clues from that Sikong Xiu?" White Light asked.


    The urgent matter on hand was for the few people to find a way out.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Bamboo Groove Void Realm has a void realm heart. Void realm hearts are a singularity that connects the Heavenspan World and void realms. It can continuously draw energy from the Heavenspan World without ceasing, maintaining the void realm''s consumption. As long as one can find the void realm heart, they will be able to find a way back."


    White Light frowned when he heard that and said, "This void realm heart is so important. So it definitely isn''t that easy to find, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "This Bamboo Groove Void Realm is an empyrean level void realm. Many major sects also have True God Realm powerhouses holding down the fort. Wanting to barge into the place where the void realm heart is at is simply nothing more than wishful thinking."


    The three people could not help drawing a cold breath when they heard. This void realm heart was so important, it was definitely held in the hands of the most powerful characters.


    Empyrean level powerhouses, blowing a breath could turn the few of them into dust. Wanting to barge into the place where the void realm heart was at was simply an impossible mission.


    "Your Excellency, this �� could it be that we have to keep on waiting here?" Ning Tianping''s expression changed slightly as he said.


    Ye Yuan said, "Not necessarily so as well! The faction in charge of the void realm heart is called Bamboo Groove Holy Temple. Under the Bamboo Groove Holy Temple, there are more than ten True God level sect forces. Every thousand years, these True God level sect forces would undergo the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, and the top five of the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave will have the qualifications to become the Bamboo Groove Holy Temple''s disciple. And these five people will also obtain the qualifications to enter the void heart realm to gain enlightenment on Dao!"


    Inside the void realm heart, there were the lifetime comprehensions of the major power who created this void realm left behind.


    So it was not only an important treasure for maintaining the operation of the void realm, it was also an excellent place for comprehending Dao.


    "Big Brother, your meaning is that we have to join these sects, then take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave?" White Light said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not us, it''s me! This Bamboo Groove Void Realm martial artists'' legacies are extremely ancient. The divine essence that they cultivate is also different from the Heavenspan World. When you guys arrive at the sects, as long as you utilize divine essence, you''ll immediately be found out. So, the few of you wait in the Purple Extreme Hall and cultivate well. I''ll bring you all back to the Heavenspan World."


    White Light shrugged and said, "Alright. Big Brother, your cultivation method is too freakish. So it is better to leave this kind of thing for you to do."


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s cultivation method could even simulate the fiend race''s fiend essence, let alone this Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s divine essence.


    Ye Yuan carried out soul-search on Sikong Xiu and naturally knew the exit of the sundered boundary.


    He let White Light and the rest enter the Purple Extreme Hall. He then headed toward the exit that led to the Bamboo Groove Void Realm himself.

 1781 Two Choices

    On the streets, many martial artists were in groups or walking alone.


    The auras on these people were not weak, they were actually all Divine Lord Realm powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan knew that they were going to the Shadowmoon Sect to take part in the sect assessment. He was also the same.


    Ye Yuan learned from Sikong Xiu''s sea of consciousness that among True God level sects, only the Shadowmoon Sect was currently recruiting new disciples.


    There were still roughly 200 years until the next Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave.


    Ye Yuan needed to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm as soon as possible within these 200 years.


    Those taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave must be at the Celestial Deity Realm.


    And Ye Yuan seemed to still have a very long way to go to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    In the previous few years, Ye Yuan had been immersed in Alchemy Dao all along, and his Martial Dao did not progress much.


    Over these 200 years, Ye Yuan planned to cultivate with all his might, and strive to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm as soon as possible.


    "Hey, little brother, which sect are you from? You seem like a new face here!"


    Perhaps a burly man felt bored and moved close to Ye Yuan''s side and walked alongside him.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I came from a Divine Lord level small sect. It doesn''t have much reputation."


    The burly man smiled and said, "So that''s how it is. No wonder your strength is so weak. With your strength, it''s probably very difficult to pass the Shadowmoon sect''s entrance examination!"


    Ye Yuan secretly smiled in his heart. This guy''s personality was very straightforward.


    But he could also tell that this man was a straightforward character. Whatever he had, he would say, without going through his brain at all.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "I''m just here to give it try. After all, my original sect already doesn''t have anything that I can continue to learn about."


    The burly man said, "Makes sense, for you to be able to cultivate to your current realm at a Divine Lord level small sect, it''s indeed very not easy already. However, the geniuses capable of entering the Shadowmoon Sect are all one in a million. If you want to pass the entrance examination, you''ll probably have to take several hundred more years."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mn, if it doesn''t work out, I''ll do miscellaneous work in the Shadowmoon Sect. When my strength is sufficient, I''ll come and take part in the entrance examination again."


    The Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s territory was vast, sects standing in great numbers. These dozen over True God level sects were leviathans.


    Firstly, their own sect already did not have much room for development for them anymore. Staying would only waste time.


    Secondly, after these disciples entered True God level sects, once they learned something, they would take better care of their own sect.


    Hence, those going to take part in the Shadowmoon Sect''s examination were mostly True God level disciples.


    Of course, there were also some small sects'' disciples who were mostly unknown and were also not too likely to pass the assessment.


    The burly man''s words were not without basis.


    It was just that he did not know that Ye Yuan''s combat power was far from comparable to same rank martial artists.


    The burly man smiled and said, "Haha, I came from the Thundercloud Sect. I''m called Han Yong. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, give me their names."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother Han. I''m Ye Yuan."


    The two people were currently chatting when a burst of ridicule suddenly came from the side.


    "Hahaha, Han Yong, you also don''t take a piss and look in the reflection yourself, just the likes of you also dare to take care of people? I''m bullying him now, so do you dare to cover him?"


    Ye Yuan looked sideways and saw three youths in bright clothing looking at Han Yong with a smile that was not a smile, having a look of ridicule on their faces.


    These three people were very similar between the eyebrows. One look and they were three brothers.


    When Han Yong saw these three people, his expression could not help changing. He said in a solemn voice, "Zhao Xi, what are you being cocky for? If you have the ability, come over by yourself. I guarantee that I won''t beat you to death!"


    Han Yong turned around and whispered to Ye Yuan, "This is Zhao Zhao, Zhao Shu, and Zhao Xi, three brothers, originating from Devil Elephant Sect. They are sworn enemies of our Thundercloud Sect."


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he immediately understood in his heart.


    Zhao Xi said with disdain when he heard this, "You''re merely a hair stronger than me. You aren''t even a match for my second brother. Yet, you still dare to be insolent in front of us three brothers? Your Thundercloud Sect is really trash, just sending a good-for-nothing like you out. You can only put on a front in front of some small sects."


    The words angered Han Yong until his expression turned livid.


    Zhao Xi three brothers were extremely talented. The three people''s strength had always advanced at the same rate.


    Zhao Xi was slightly weaker, also peak Seventh Firmament Divine Lord.


    The other two were Eighth Firmament Divine Lords!


    Han Yong''s talent was actually really good. He just recently became an Eighth Firmament Divine Lord. It was just that in front of these three brothers, it was still a little worse.


    "Zhao Xi, you dare to insult my Thundercloud sect? If you have the balls, fight one-on-one with me!" Han Yong did not dare to challenge the three of them and could only use words to goad Zhao Xi.


    But Zhao Xi only smiled and said, "After entering the Shadowmoon Sect, there''s plenty of time to fight one-on-one. But right now �� heh heh, didn''t you say that you''re covering for this kid? Now, I''m going to bully him. I want to see what you use to shield him with. I''m going to let everybody take a look at how trashy your Thundercloud Sect is. What kind of strength you have, you don''t have any idea yourself. Haven''t even entered the sect and you dare to cover people!"


    Han Yong''s expression changed and he said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I was the one who harmed you. You quickly go! I''ll block him!"


    But Zhao Shu laughed and said, "Isn''t it too late to leave now? Your opponent is me!"


    Zhao Shu''s figure moved, directly facing off with Han Yong.


    Han Yong''s strength was a notch weaker than Zhao Shu''s. With his match up, he could only accept the challenge passively.


    If he wanted to run, he could naturally escape. But if he ran, Ye Yuan facing the Zhao trio brothers by himself, then the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine.


    Zhao Xi slowly walked to Ye Yuan and said with an amused look, "Kid, you''re actually not running away. Are you scared silly? Heh heh, don''t blame me for bullying me. Want to blame someone, blame Han Yong. Who asked that guy to like to posture?"


    Ye Yuan himself also felt baffled. Walking along the streets, he could actually get into such trouble too.


    However, Zhao Xi''s strength, he did not take it seriously yet.


    If he did not provoke him and bickered a few sentences with Han Yong, then forget it. Yet, he wanted to come to provoke him.


    Ye Yuan could only sigh in his heart: wouldn''t die if didn''t court death.


    "Everyone is going to take part in the Shadowmoon Sect''s examination. We''ll all be fellow apprentices in the future, why is there a need to end up like this?" Ye Yuan said with a helpless look.


    Regarding this kind of lame fight, he was indeed disinclined to take part in it.


    As long as Zhao Xi himself pulled back, he would not stoop to the other party''s level too.


    Zhao Xi laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "Fellow apprentices? Hahaha, brat, you''re thinking too much! With just the likes of your bit of strength, you also want to pass the Shadowmoon Sect''s examination? You and I are never of the same world! Hence, there''s no way we''ll be fellow apprentices!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then?"


    Zhao Xi sneered and said, "Kid, I have to admire your nerves. Now, I''ll give you two choices, number one, kneel down and yell ''Thundercloud Sect is trash'' three times. Second, I''ll cripple your cultivation, break both your legs, and let you crawl to the Shadowmoon Sect."

 1782 Understood

    "Isn''t that so? The Zhao three brothers are well-known genius disciples in Celestial Deity level sects!"


    "That kid is just a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. Do you guys think that he''ll choose to kowtow or choose to have both legs broken?"


    "It''s definitely to kowtow! Even if he offends the Thundercloud Sect, as long as he can stay in the Shadowmoon Sect and do chores, there will always be a possibility of rising again."


    ...


    With a show to watch, quite a few people stopped their footsteps and crowded around to watch.


    They were currently all guessing which option Ye Yuan would choose.


    Of course, the majority of the people felt that Ye Yuan would choose the first one.


    After all, in their eyes, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to win against the peak Seventh Firmament Divine Lord Zhao Xi.


    But Zhao Xi''s words made Ye Yuan''s gaze gradually turn cold.


    He and Zhao Xi had no grudges nor enmity. But this guy still transferred his anger to him and wanted to send him to his doom because of Han Yong.


    "If I don''t choose any?" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhao Xi smiled and said, "You must choose! Because if you don''t choose, I''ll help you choose the second one."


    Ye Yuan said, "Then �� I''ll choose the third one."


    Zhao Xi froze and said angrily, "I didn''t give you a third option! Still not choosing? I''ll help you choose!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The third one was added by me. Everybody go to the Shadowmoon Sect together and participate in the entrance examination, isn''t that good?"


    Zhao Xi''s face turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "You''re toying with me?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I wanted to save you a bit of face. Looks like your reputation is still considerable, if you were to get beaten by me in front of so many people, how humiliating would that be?"


    The moment Zhao Xi heard this, he could not help letting out a big laugh as he said, "You? Beat me? Hahaha, this is the funniest joke that I''ve heard! Kid, I changed my mind, now, I''m going to cripple both your hands and legs! Let you unable to even crawl!"


    The surrounding people all used eyes like looking at an idiot to look at Ye Yuan. A Fifth Firmament Divine Lord pummeling A Seventh Firmament Divine Lord, was he trying to be funny?


    There was a small stage in-between!


    This kind of fool was actually coming to take part in the Shadowmoon Sect''s entrance examination too. What a wonder.


    Zhao Xi was thoroughly enraged by Ye Yuan. He formed claws with his fingers, the world power of Seventh Firmament Divine Lord gushed out frenziedly, directly grabbing towards Ye Yuan''s arms.


    Zhao Xi had an imposing momentum, this grab was determined to succeed.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan threw out a palm swift like lightning, inconceivably quick!


    Ye Yuan attacked extremely precisely, directly disregarding Zhao Xi''s world power, grabbing the webbing between his thumb and index finger and crushed fiercely. His fingers snapped at the sound of it!


    "ARGHH!!"


    A scream came over, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhao''s expressions changed.


    Zhao Shu was alarmed in his heart. Repelling Han Yong with one move, he glared at Ye Yuan and said, "Punk, let him go! Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!"


    Everyone all looked at this scene in incredible shock, feeling that it was preposterous to the extreme.


    Indeed subduing the enemy in one move!


    However, it was completely contrary to what they thought.


    The powerful Zhao Xi was actually restrained in one move.


    Ye Yuan gave an ''oh.'' Loosening his five fingers, he actually let go of Zhao Xi.


    The five fingers were connected to the heart, Zhao Xi hurt until he broke out in cold sweat.


    He did not expect to fail miserably in a simple task, the anger in his heart already billowing to the sky.


    The moment Ye Yuan let go, his left hand grabbed toward Ye Yuan''s throat like lightning.


    He wanted to take Ye Yuan''s life!


    However, he was fast, but Ye Yuan was faster than him!


    Crack!


    Another crisp bone-breaking sound. The five fingers of Zhao Xi''s left hand were also directly broken by Ye Yuan.


    "ARGHH!!"


    Zhao Xi''s mouth emitted an even more shrill scream than just now, akin to a pig getting slaughtered.


    Ye Yuan made his move neat and tidily, without the least bit of sloppiness.


    Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhao''s faces changed again and they said in anger, "Kid, do you not understand our words?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I understood. Didn''t I already let go? It was he who courted death by wanting to kill me. I only broke his five fingers, so it''s already considered courteous."


    Zhao Zhao''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Kid, you''re very courageous, to actually dare break my third brother''s ten fingers! If you can leave alive today, my Zhao Zhao two words will be written upside down!"


    Bang!


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan raised his feet and directly kicked on Zhao Xi''s knee, directly kicking his knee joints to pieces.


    Another bone-piercing severe pain was transmitted to his brain. Zhao Xi''s eyes rolled back and he fainted from the pain.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he smiled faintly and said, "Your meaning is that I can only stand here and let him kill me? Huhu, now, what do you still have to say?"


    All around, everyone all drew cold breaths.


    They were all shocked by Ye Yuan''s strength, but they were even more shocked by Ye Yuan''s means!


    He actually crippled Zhao Xi in front of Zhao Zhao!


    In their view, Zhao Xi underestimated the enemy too much just now, that was why he would be restrained by Ye Yuan.


    But Zhao Zhao''s strength was at the Eighth Firmament Divine Lord Realm!


    Ye Yuan''s action was undoubtedly seeking death.


    When Zhao Zhao saw Zhao Xi''s miserable appearance, the muscles on his face were twitching.


    It was just that Ye Yuan''s ruthlessness also made him extremely apprehensive.


    His expression changed several times and he finally said, "Brat, you let go of Zhao Xi, and then I''ll let you leave!"


    By the side, Han Yong was long dumbfounded from watching. He thought that Ye Yuan would be dead for sure this time. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was so vicious. Not only did he not die, he even returned Zhao Xi''s words to him, directly crippling him.


    Hearing Zhao Zhao''s words, Han Yong''s expression changed and he said, "Ye Yuan, don''t believe him!"


    But Ye Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Everyone will be fellow apprentices in the future. We''ll be meeting frequently, falling out too hard isn''t good."


    Finished talking, he directly made his move and threw Zhao Xi over.


    Zhao Shu''s figure moved, hurriedly catching.


    But at the same time, Zhao Zhao moved!


    His aura was more than ten times stronger than Zhao Xi''s!


    Han Yong blocked in front of Ye Yuan with a flash without thinking.


    Bang!


    The two people forcefully exchanged a blow. Han Yong retreated several dozen steps in a row before barely managing to stand firm.


    While Zhao Zhao did not budge an inch.


    Striking Han Yong back, Zhao Zhao did not stop in the least bit, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, a youth in white slowly walked out and said to Zhao Zhao, "Alright, Zhao Zhao, give me face, let this matter go like this!"


    When Zhao Zhao saw this person, his expression could not help changing, and he said in a solemn voice, "Yang Fan, this is none of your business! This punk beat my third brother until like this. Could it be that you want me to swallow the insult and endure in silence?"


    Yang Fan said coolly, "You also know my relationship with Han Yong. If you still don''t know what''s good for you, then I can only take action!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. He originally wanted to teach Zhao Zhao a lesson. He did not expect that someone threw a wrench in the works.


    But the aura on this Yang Fan''s body was very powerful. He was already not far from becoming a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Clearly, Zhao Zhao was very wary of him.


    Zhao Zhao''s expression changed several times, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I''ll give you face today! But, when this kid is unable to pass the entrance examination, I''ll definitely take his life then!"


    Yang Fan said coolly, "At that time, it''s naturally up to you!"


    Zhao Zhao''s face fell and he said to Zhao Shu, "Bring along Third Brother! Let''s go!"

 1783 Team Up With Me

    But Han Yong laughed loudly and said, "Haha, fortunately, Old Yang you came in the nick of time. Otherwise, the two of us will die here today. Zhao Zhao this damn fellow, there will come a day where I''ll make him pay the price!"


    Yang Fan shot him a glare and said, "You can really cause trouble!"


    Han Yong cried injustice as he said, "This has nothing to do with me! I was just chatting with Younger Brother Ye and those few fellows suddenly came out. But speaking of which, Younger Brother Ye is loyal enough! I like that! Uh, I can''t shield you, but Old Yang can definitely cover you!"


    Yang Fan shot him a glare and said, "This matter isn''t over yet! Don''t you forget, the Devil Elephant lineage has considerable power and influence in the Shadowmoon Sect. Some people, even I can''t afford to provoke them either!"


    Han Yong''s face changed, revealing a solemn expression.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he understood in his heart. It seemed like there were many factions in this Shadowmoon Sect too.


    But it was also not surprising, with the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s system, quite a few people all come from the same sect. They would naturally help one another.


    Provoking the Zhao trio brothers, a single misstep and it was provoking the entire Devil Elephant lineage''s people.


    "Humph! All in all, Younger Brother Ye will be my brother, Han Yong''s brother, in the future! If anyone dares to bully him, they will have to ask me first!" Han Yong said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Then I''ll have to thank Brother Han very much."


    Han Yong smiled and said, "But speaking of which, Younger Brother Ye, your strength really makes me view you in a different light. Perhaps you can really pass the examination."


    ...


    In front of the mountain gate, several hundred Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were gathered together.


    At this time, quite a few people''s gazes looked in the same direction.


    That was a woman in a purple dress, skin akin to pale cream colour, having arched eyebrows and bright red lips. She could be rated as an unparalleled beauty of a generation.


    "That''s the Baili Qingyan of the Immortal Abode Sect? Indeed ridiculously beautiful!"


    "I heard that she''s already a peak Ninth Firmament Divine Lord at less than 800 years old. This is a true genius!"


    "Coming to take part in the Shadowmoon Sect''s entrance examination this time, it should be for the sake of the Bamboo Groove Holy Temple''s slots, right?"


    ...


    Ye Yuan was also secretly somewhat surprised. This Baili Qingyan''s talent could virtually be put on par with the Leng Qiuling that he met on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Indeed, there were no shortages of geniuses everywhere!


    "Those two, one is called Duan Qinghong, originating from the Cloudsword Sect. The other is called Zhong Hanlin, coming from the Soaring Flower Sect. Coupled with Baili Qingyan''s Immortal Abode Sect, these three great sects are all the leaders of Celestial Deity level sects! The three of them joining the Shadowmoon Sect at this time, their goal is likely for the sake of the Bamboo Groove Holy Temple''s spots. Uh, looking is enough, Baili Qingyan that kind of beauty, you have no chance. Although you have the appearance of a pretty boy, your strength is too weak."


    When Han Yong saw Ye Yuan stare at that side, he came up to beat him down without any mercy.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes. When was he interested in Baili Qingyan?


    Just as they were talking, a disciple dressed in Shadowmoon Sect outer-sect attire walked over toward Ye Yuan''s side.


    Han Yong''s expression could not help change when he saw the person. He then said in a solemn voice, "It''s Song Ting. He''s the Zhao brothers'' senior apprentice brother!"


    Song Ting''s gaze was dark as he said, "Brat, heard that you ambushed Zhao Xi and crippled his hands and legs, making him unable to participate in the examination this time?"


    Ye Yuan attacked him extremely heavily. Even if he swallowed medicinal pills, his injury also could not recover within a short time.


    With Zhao Xi''s situation, he was definitely unable to take part in the test this time.


    And the ones present currently were only Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu two people.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother misunderstood."


    Song Ting''s face fell and he said, "You dare to quibble?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said coolly, "I didn''t ambush him, but I crippled him openly and uprightly."


    Song Ting was taken aback, and then he said in great rage, "Punk, you dare to mess with me?"


    Ye Yuan said, "I was just saying it directly. Why? Is Senior Apprentice Brother going to stand up for Zhao Xi?"


    Ye Yuan knew that they already stepped into the mountain currently. Song Ting did not dare to make a move.


    "Heh, kid, looks like you feel reassured with someone''s backing! But don''t you forget, the entrance examination this first round, doesn''t restrict killing!" Song Ting said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu behind Song Ting and said with disdain, "With the likes of these two good-for-nothings?"


    Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu were greatly enraged the moment they heard and wanted to attack but was stopped by Song Ting.


    "Punk, you''re very gutsy! I heard that you came from a small sect, so you probably don''t know how powerful the Devil Elephant lineage is in the Shadowmoon Sect yet, right? But you don''t have a need to know either, because you can''t walk out of the Shadowmoon Mountain Range," Song Ting said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "Senior Apprentice Brother coming to find me is in order to let out harsh words? That''s very childish."


    Song Ting wanted to come and see Ye Yuan wag his tag and beg for mercy.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually rebutted him until he could not get off the stage.


    This guy definitely did not know how terrifying the Devil Elephant lineage''s strength was. That was why he would be like this.


    However, that was not important anymore. This punk was dead for sure!


    Song Ting''s expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Good, very good! Punk, you''ll feel how terrifying my wrath is!"


    When the others saw this scene, they were shocked until their jaws hit the ground.


    Apart from the three great sects, the Devil Elephant Sect''s strength was second to none.


    Their powerhouses in the Shadowmoon Sect were plentiful, their power and influence could be said to be immense.


    But now, Ye Yuan, a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord little fellow, actually dared to provoke the Devil Elephant lineage!


    This guy''s guts were also a little too fat, right?


    Han Yong gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "A fine person, indeed! Younger Brother, you''re really gutsy! Song Ting is already a half-step Celestial Deity powerhouse, as well as half a foot already stepped into becoming an inner-disciple. However, he''ll probably mobilize the Devil Elephant lineage''s connections and make the disciples taking part in the examination this time all target you."


    Yang Fan''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "You, kid, are also a troublemaker! What''s the deal with yielding sometimes? Those participating in the examination this time, quite a few people''s strengths are all not beneath mine. Furthermore, the Soaring Flower Sect''s relationship with the Devil Elephant Sect is pretty good. He might have Zhong Hanlin take action to deal with you. At that time, even if it''s me, it''s hard to resist too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I would rather die standing than live kneeling. Want to make me yield, no chance. Want to kill me, come at me with your own capabilities then! Uh �� the examination this time, Brother Han and Brother Yang form a team, I''ll be by myself."


    The moment Han Yong heard, he said in great rage, "What are you saying? Speaking of which, this matter was still caused by me, how can you abandon you? If you still say this kind of words, don''t blame me for falling out!"


    Ye Yuan felt a warmth in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice sounded out by his eyes.


    "Do you have people to form a team? If you don''t, why not team up with me!"


    Ye Yuan turned around to look, who was it if not Baili Qingyan?


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    "H-Haha, then �� following you is too dangerous. I''d better forsake you," Han Yong coughed dryly twice and said with a mysterious smile on his face.

 1784 Bring You to Win Lying Down

    "That kid''s strength is also too weak, right?"


    "Why didn''t she find me to form a team? It''s killing me with envy!"


    ...


    Baili Qingyan''s actions stunned everyone.


    A heaven''s chosen of this generation actually took the initiative to form a team with a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord rookie. It really made people''s jaws drop.


    Especially Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin, the looks that those two people cast over were virtually going to kill Ye Yuan.


    Not just them, even Ye Yuan himself also had a befuddled look and did not come back to his senses for a while.


    But when he came back to his senses, he said something that stunned everyone even more.


    "Sorry, I plan on entering the mountain alone. Miss Baili, please seek someone more capable," Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Buzz!


    An uproar burst out all around!


    Just now, everyone''s eyes wished to kill Ye Yuan.


    But now, everyone used a look of exasperation at his failure to live up to expectations to look at him.


    Did this guy''s brain have an issue?


    Didn''t he see that Baili Qingyan even rejected Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin?


    To be able to spend a month''s time in the mountain with an unrivaled beauty, that was something that everyone yearned for day and night.


    Even if they died, that was also worth it.


    This fool actually refused!


    With this, it was Baili Qingyan''s turn to have an astounded look. Immediately, a hint of red flashed across her face.


    He �� He actually refused her!


    The reason why Baili Qingyan came to find Ye Yuan was because she was certain that Ye Yuan would not refuse.


    In fact, she totally never thought that Ye Yuan would refuse.


    But now, she �� was so embarrassed!


    After musing for a moment, Baili Qingyan said, "Can I have a word with you?"


    It was hard to get off after riding a tiger''s back. Currently, for Baili Qingyan, this had to work whether it succeeded or failed.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and came to a remote place with Baili Qingyan.


    "Why did you reject me?"


    Baili Qingyan had a baffled look, her words carrying tender bashfulness, full of puzzlement.


    In her view, no man should be able to refuse her charm.


    Ye Yuan''s mind was like a clear mirror, but he smiled and said, "Miss Baili, a straightforward person doesn''t beat around the bush. You feel that my strength is meager and want to make use of me to shake off those two people''s pestering. You feel that I hanker after your beauty and would agree to you without a word, or that I can pass the first round assessment under your protection. But, I have to say, you miscalculated!"


    If it were others, they would definitely agree without hesitation.


    Baili Qingyan''s reliance was not worth a single cent in front of him.


    He did not need beauty, much less the protection of Baili Qingyan.


    So, he could be aloof if he had no selfish desires.


    While Baili Qingyan was beautiful, what she had in mind did not have much temptation to Ye Yuan.


    Therefore, she miscalculated.


    Baili Qingyan suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan''s mind was ridiculously clear-headed.


    She understood that Ye Yuan was negotiating terms with her.


    "With your strength, if Song Ting is bent on dealing with you, there''s absolutely no way you''ll survive. If you follow me, you can pass the first round assessment very effortlessly."


    Baili Qingyan was very puzzled, she felt that Ye Yuan did not have reason to reject her terms at all.


    Song Ting''s threat just now, Baili Qingyan took it into her sight.


    She felt that Ye Yuan would definitely need to seek protection under such tremendous pressure.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan''s strength was meager. If she formed a team with Ye Yuan, anyone would be able to tell that she just wanted to shake off Duan Qinghong two people.


    To Ye Yuan, her addition could let Ye Yuan pass through the round even easier.


    In other words, as long as he followed her, Ye Yuan could win by simply not doing anything.


    Passing the first round assessment practically did not have the least bit of suspense.


    But Ye Yuan refused.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "That''s my own business! Moreover, Miss Baili is too self-confident. Passing the first round assessment isn''t as hard as you imagine."


    Baili Qingyan sneered to no end in her heart!


    The first round was not hard?


    That was said to her, Baili Qingyan!


    Baili Qingyan was very smart, she understood what Ye Yuan had in mind very quickly.


    Ye Yuan clearly saw through her thoughts and wanted to coerce with this, negotiating terms with her!


    Baili Qingyan drew a deep breath, but her tone turned cold as she said, "I already said it, I can''t take it back anymore. Speak, as long as you form a team with me, you can state your terms."


    Ye Yuan was speechless. Baili Qingyan''s self-importance was too high.


    He really did not want to team up with her, but Baili Qingyan thought that Ye Yuan wanted to coerce her with this.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "I don''t have any conditions. If Miss Baili insists on forming a team with me, why not play a melody on the zither for me and get rid of the loneliness in the mountains."


    To Ye Yuan, with or without Baili Qingyan''s addition, it did not matter at all.


    But the beauty already stopped so low, he really could not refuse.


    Hence, that was why he agreed to Baili Qingyan with such an excuse.


    Ye Yuan learned from Han Yong that Baili Qingyan''s zither skills were unparalleled. It was just that there were scanty few who could hear her zither sounds.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan said so.


    Baili Qingyan was slightly taken aback, the flush on her face grew redder as she said with bashful anger, "You �� despicable villain!"


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, "If you can''t even satisfy this bit of request, then forget about it."


    Baili Qingyan was helpless and said angrily, "Fine! Consider it that I succumbed in your hands! This incident today, this Baili will remember it!"


    Ye Yuan was somewhat perplexed in his heart, just playing a song on the zither, was there a need?


    When the two people returned, everyone''s eyes concentrated on Ye Yuan.


    "This guy is so shameless, looks like he really said yes!"


    "That act just now was probably loosening the line to rein it in better later, right?"


    "This guy is really despicable and shameless!"


    ...


    Ye Yuan and Baili Qingyan standing together, everyone immediately understood in their hearts.


    Toward Ye Yuan''s ''impudence and shamelessness,'' they also had grieving and indignant faces.


    It was as if a fresh flower was stuck on a cow dung.


    Even though they all knew that Baili Qingyan was merely making use of Ye Yuan.


    Before long, a Celestial Deity powerhouse stepped out of the sky and said to everyone, "For you all to want to join my Shadowmoon Sect, you must pass two rounds of examination. This first round is to hunt fierce beasts in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range. Now, you''re free to team up. But each squad mustn''t exceed three people! Fierce beasts killed in teams are only half of those killed individually. This hunt, killing isn''t restricted! As long as you all have the strength, you can snatch fierce beasts from other people''s hands. Alright, now, the first round assessment, begin!"


    Following that Celestial Deity powerhouse''s word of command, the martial artists entered the Shadowmoon Mountain Range in a single file.


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan together with Baili Qingyan, they could not help having envious looks.


    And in the crowd, when Song Ting saw this scene, his gaze was incomparably sinister and ruthless.


    "Punk, you think that after hiding behind a woman, you can escape the fate of death? Heh heh, you''re thinking too much! Even a genius like Baili Qingyan also can''t stop my Devil Elephant Sect''s intention to kill you!"

 1785 Beg Me!

    Ye Yuan hugged both arms and was taking it easy with nothing to do by the side.


    "Go take the heavenly demon crystal!" Baili Qingyan''s face was cold as frost as she ordered Ye Yuan.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s appearance, she would get angry.


    Ye Yuan found it funny in his heart. This lass was still angry with him.


    Ever since entering the Shadowmoon Mountain Range, Baili Qingyan had never shown Ye Yuan a good attitude.


    But he did not refuse, walking over and retrieving the heavenly demon crystal neat and tidily.


    After the demon core within divine rank demonic beasts evolved into heavenly demon crystal, inside the heavenly demon crystal contained the lifetime essence of the fierce beast.


    Along the way, they already killed three late-stage rank four fierce beasts.


    Seemingly intent on exhibiting her powerful strength, Baili Qingyan practically killed with one sword when she encountered fierce beasts.


    She wanted to see shock from Ye Yuan''s eyes, but she was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan''s performance was incomparably calm.


    But this kind of composure became sitting idly and reaping the fruits of others'' labor in her eyes, sharing her achievements with no qualms of conscience.


    This made Baili Qingyan very unhappy!


    Look at you showing off. Do you really think that I can''t take care of you? Baili Qingyan sneered in her heart.


    The next day, the two people ran into a late-stage rank four fierce beast very luckily once again.


    Ye Yuan hugged both arms calmly, waiting to watch the show.


    Baili Qingyan suddenly said, "I''m tired. I''ll leave it to you."


    This was merely a newly ascended late-stage rank four fierce beast, equivalent to a Seventh Firmament Divine Lord martial artist.


    For Baili Qingyan to want to kill it, it was naturally very easy.


    But now, she deliberately wanted to teach Ye Yuan a lesson.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If you''re tired, rest for a while, I''ll be right back."


    Baili Qingyan was very disdainful in her heart and said with a cold smile, "Pretend! I''ll see when you can pretend until! Although this Zilong Cloudeye Beast has just entered late-stage rank four, Eighth Firmament Divine Lords also have to expend some effort to deal with it. In a while, I''ll watch you beg me to take action sobbingly!"


    Swoosh!


    Sword rose, sword fell!


    That Zilong Cloudeye Beast was virtually cut down under Ye Yuan''s sword without the least bit of strength to resist.


    When Baili Qingyan saw this scene, her gaze involuntarily turned sharp, revealing a look of surprise.


    "How can this guy be so strong?"


    If it were Baili Qingyan herself, she could naturally do it to this extent.


    This guy actually had the strength to jump realms and battle.


    Ye Yuan retrieved the heavenly demon crystal, came in front of Baili Qingyan, and said with a faint smile, "Miss Baili, are you rested enough?"


    Baili Qingyan''s expression was somewhat ugly and she said in a cold voice, "Have you seen before someone rest so fast? No!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Like this huh, then let''s rest for a while more."


    As he said, Ye Yuan sat down not far from Baili Qingyan and sized her up with interest.


    Baili Qingyan''s brows furrowed slightly and she said with displeasure, "Looking at what?! Keep looking and I''ll dig your eyeballs out!"


    Actually, Baili Qingyan normally did not have such a cold personality.


    On the contrary, she was different from those iceberg beauties, her temperament was rather warm.


    It was just that in her warmth, it exuded pride and keeping people a thousand miles away, making people unable to look directly at her.


    But now, when she faced Ye Yuan, she was unable to be calm at all, and also could not display that kind of pride at all.


    Toward Baili Qingyan''s threat, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart at all, but smiled and said, "Miss Baili, can I ask? So many examinees but why did you pick me?"


    Baili Qingyan gave a cold snort and said, "I felt that you had quite the backbone, that''s why I picked you. I didn''t expect that you''re a despicable villain who takes advantage of others'' perilous state!"


    Ye Yuan immediately understood when he heard that. Looks like when Song Ting threatened him, Baili Qingyan just happened to see it, that was why it would attract her attention.


    "Taking advantage of others'' perilous state, is it? Miss Baili finding me, isn''t it in order to make use of me to shake off those people''s harassment? Your action mounted me onto the fire to barbecue and provoked that kind of powerful adversary at the same time. Do you think that it''s me who took advantage of someone''s perilous state, or was it you who harbored ulterior motives? Or is it that you feel that with your charms, I wouldn''t refuse you at all?" Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed, she did not expect that Ye Yuan saw it so thoroughly.


    Yes, if it were others, even if they clearly knew that they were being exploited, they would also agree to it willingly.


    But Ye Yuan would not, that was why there was that scene of rejection.


    "With me around, they naturally don''t dare to do anything to you." Baili Qingyan defended herself through sophistry.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This kind of words, Miss Baili can use them to bluff a three-year-old kid. Your three major sects are powerful, for the two of them to want to kill me, they don''t need to personally make a move at all. Moreover, with Miss Baili''s horizons, would you care about the life and death of an insignificant character like me?"


    Baili Qingyan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. She suddenly discovered that this fellow seemed to be quite different from the rest.


    Although Ye Yuan''s age was not old, he was calm when encountering matters; totally different from the average young person.


    Indeed, she might give a heads-up afterward because of today''s matter, but would not really be concerned with Ye Yuan''s life and death at all.


    Duan Qinghong they all getting Ye Yuan killed afterward was also something within expectations.


    "Heh heh, looks like this kid still has quite the self-awareness!"


    The two people were just talking when suddenly, a cold laugh sounded out. A figure dashed out of the woods.


    "Zhong Hanlin!" Baili Qingyan''s dark brows furrowed slightly as she said.


    This guy appearing, he clearly did not have any good intentions.


    Zhong Hanlin used a pair of greedy eyes to look at Baili Qingyang and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Qingyan, wait until I kill this toad, then I''ll come and catch up with you."


    Done talking, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, "Punk, you should never have ever formed a team with Junior Sister Qingyan. That instant when you agreed, you should have known your outcome, right?"


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was speechless for a while and said, "I rejected her, it was her who insisted on teaming up with me."


    Zhong Hanlin smiled coldly and said, "That''s also one of the reasons you deserve to die! Junior Sister Baili''s invitation, you should feel overwhelmed by flattery and honor. But you actually made her unable to step down the stage in front of so many people. You deserve to die ten thousand times over!"


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was amused for a while and said, "Your meaning is that no matter what, I have to die?"


    Zhong Hanlin smiled slightly as he nodded and said, "Yes! That moment when Junior Sister Baili came to find you, you''re destined to die! Want to blame, blame your fate for not being good."


    Zhong Hanlin had a high and mighty appearance, pronouncing Ye Yuan''s death sentence.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart to no end. In the eyes of this kind of so-called geniuses, life was worthless.


    As long as they were willing, they could determine other people''s life and death as they pleased.


    Putting it bluntly, he was looking at Ye Yuan''s strength being meager and that he was easy to bully.


    If Duan Qinghong was here, he absolutely would not dare to say so.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze looked at Baili Qingyan and he said coolly, "You''re planning on looking on with folded arms?"


    Baili Qingyan''s expression alternated between green and red. But at the thought of Ye Yuan''s hateful expression, she felt annoyed in her heart.


    "Beg me! As long as you open your mouth, I''ll take action!" Baili Qingyan suddenly said.

 1786 You Should Thank Miss Baili

    Why did these words sound like coquettishness between lovers?


    Zhong Hanlin felt jealous and his killing intent towards Ye Yuan immediately strengthened several degrees.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and turned to Zhong Hanlin and said, "You get started then."


    Making him beg Baili Qingyan, that was impossible.


    A man must have a backbone.


    Baili Qingyan was taken aback and said in exasperation, "You this guy, want to keep up appearances to cover up your predicament! Zhong Hanlin''s strength isn''t what you can imagine!"


    She felt that she could finally take Ye Yuan down a notch. She did not expect that Ye Yuan would rather be killed than be willing to beg her. This made her feel a loss of face.


    But Ye Yuan said without a care, "Is that so? Maybe he isn''t as strong as imagined."


    These two people, one chiming in after the other, Zhong Hanlin felt that he was very redundant.


    And this also made him very enraged.


    "Reckless and blind thing, you can go die already!"


    Zhong Hanlin gave a furious roar, suddenly throwing out a palm.


    The powerful world power of Ninth Firmament Divine Lord instantly crushed over from all directions towards Ye Yuan.


    "Blazing Sun Astral Palm!"


    Bang!


    The place where Ye Yuan stood was immediately leveled to the ground.


    Zhong Hanlin revealed a look of disdain and said, "Can''t stand up to a single blow!"


    An inexplicable hint of sadness flashed across Baili Qingyan''s eyes. She also did not know why she actually had a feeling of emptiness.


    "This is your strength? Doesn''t seem to be much."


    Ye Yuan''s figure slowly walked out of the void and was actually completely unscathed.


    Zhong Hanlin''s face revealed a look of disbelief as he said, "How is this possible?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I said before, maybe you''re not as strong as imagined."


    Zhong Hanlin''s face fell and he said angrily, "Punk, don''t get smug too early. I didn''t use my full strength at all just now! Now, I''ll let you take a look at my true strength!"


    While talking, Zhong Hanlin brandished his long spear, it was shockingly a celestial deity mystic treasure.


    His aura surged to the sky, his entire person was like a long spear, the momentum astonishing.


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted, revealing a rather surprised look.


    This Zhong Hanlin''s strength was indeed formidable.


    The moment this domineering spear momentum came out, Ye Yuan felt the pressure that came from head-on.


    With his current strength, he was still not Zhong Hanlin''s match.


    But Ye Yuan was not worried.


    That evil spirit which Dustless subdued did not even fear First Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses, let alone a puny little Zhong Hanlin.


    "Soft Cloud Heavenly Sacred Spear!"


    Right at this time, Zhong Hanlin''s overbearing spear suddenly thrust out.


    "Mist Wave Traceless Sword!"


    Baili Qingyan''s sword energy was overwhelming, rushing over with a diagonal stab, facing off with Zhong Hanlin''s certain-kill spear.


    Bang!


    Two mighty peerless geniuses exchanged blows at this moment.


    The intense divine essence undulations obliterated everything in the middle.


    Zhong Hanlin and Baili Qingyan each retreated more than ten steps before barely managing to stand firm.


    As a bystander, Ye Yuan took the two people''s strength into his sights.


    Even though the two people looked to be evenly-matched in strength, Zhong Hanlin fighting to a draw with Baili Qingyan with his domineering spear already lost by a hair.


    Zhong Hanlin completely did not think that Baili Qingyan would actually suddenly rush out. At this time, his expression was livid as he said, "Junior Sister Qingyan, you actually attacked me for this good-for-nothing?"


    Baili Qingyan said coolly, "You should leave! He''s my companion, so I won''t let you kill him."


    Zhong Hanlin''s face changed when he heard that and said, "You wouldn''t really be interested in this kid, right?"


    Baili Qingyan''s face turned cold and she said, "That has nothing to do with you! Still not going, don''t blame me for not being courteous!"


    Zhong Hanlin was angered until he stomped about in a frenzy. Carrying his long spear, he pointed at the Ye Yuan behind Baili Qingyan and said, "Kid, if you''re a man, step forward and have an open and above-board battle with me! What kind of man are you considered, hiding behind a woman?"


    Ye Yuan had both hands behind his back as he said calmly, "You should be thanking Miss Baili. Otherwise, you would already be a dead man now."


    When Baili Qingyan heard these words, she could not resist rolling her eyes.


    Why were the words said by this guy so unpleasant?


    I saved you currently, alright?


    It was fine if you were not grateful, you still wanted to posture.


    Although Ye Yuan dodging Zhong Hanlin''s palm just now surprised her a little, she did not think that Ye Yuan had the ability to deal with Zhong Hanlin, let alone talk about killing him.


    When boasting, at least come up with a draft, okay?


    Zhong Hanlin sneered and said, "Is that so? I''m standing right here, come kill me if you have the capabilities! I really want me to kill you!"


    A cold light flashed across in Ye Yuan''s eyes and he said coldly, "You really want me to kill you?"


    Baili Qingyan was speechless. Interrupting Ye Yuan''s words, she said, "Alright, Zhong Hanlin, you go! He and I are currently teammates. If I can''t even bring him out, it will be very bad for my reputation. Whatever grudges you guys have, talk again in the future. But right now, no way!"


    Zhong Hanlin gritted his teeth when he heard that. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he said, "Fine then, I''ll let this punk live a little longer! A month later, I''ll definitely take your life!"


    Finished talking, Zhong Hanlin''s figure moved, disappearing.


    Baili Qingyan turned around and looked at Ye Yuan crossly as she said, "Will you die if you don''t brag? Based on your strength, can you kill him?"


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not explain much.


    But this scene was even more of a guilty conscience in Baili Qingyan''s eyes.


    This guy was clearly hiding behind her, putting up a bold front.


    There were no words along the way.


    Baili Qingyan was very upset with Ye Yuan and naturally could not be bothered to acknowledge him.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not court a rebuff, so he also did not take the initiative to talk.


    Even Baili Qingyan herself could not understand why she would take action to save Ye Yuan that day.


    On the road after that, when encountering powerful fierce beasts, it was still Baili Qingyan acting to dispose of them.


    But Baili Qingyan was very certain that Ye Yuan indeed had the strength to jump realms and battle.


    Ordinary newly-ascended late-stage rank four fierce beasts, he could resolve them.


    And this also surprised her greatly.


    With Baili Qingyan''s talent, jumping realms and battling was naturally not an issue.


    But when she was Fifth Firmament Divine Lord, dealing with a peak Sixth Firmament Divine Lord was already her limit.


    A Seventh Firmament Divine Lord was absolutely impossible for her to defeat.


    But Ye Yuan clearly had this strength. No wonder this guy was so cocky.


    "Eh? There''s a cave here, perhaps there are fierce beasts inside!" Baili Qingyan said with joy.


    Along the way, the fierce beasts that they encountered were not considered many.


    And two people forming a team required even more heavenly demon crystals.


    Hence, that was why Baili Qingyan would be so excited at finding a place where there might be fierce beasts.


    Either way, she was bold stemming with superb skills and did not fear fierce beasts either.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Go in and take a look then."


    The two people did not walk for long when three brass bell-like eyes appeared in the two people''s light of sight.


    Roar!


    An earth-shaking loud roar echoed out, making the two people''s hearts shock.


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed and she cried out in shock, "This is a Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast! Looking at this aura �� it''s already almost breaking through to rank five! Quickly run!"


    Finished talking, Baili Qingyan''s figure leaped, speeding hastily toward the cave entrance.

 1787 Whos Saving Whom?

    Baili Qingyan knew that she could not escape and could only turn around and deal with it.


    "You quickly run! I''ll deal with him!" Baili Qingyan barked charmingly.


    Ye Yuan did not escape but looked at Baili Qingyan in surprise.


    This lass was actually going to sacrifice herself to save others?


    At this time, with Baili Qingyan''s hatred toward him, shouldn''t it be leaving him behind to feed the tiger''s mouth, and then escape by herself?


    Baili Qingyan''s strength was powerful. Sword Dao laws crisscrossed wantonly within the cave.


    But, facing the powerful Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, she was still more than a magnitude weaker.


    Under the powerful impact of the fierce beast, Baili Qingyan''s orderly style was thrown into chaos very quickly.


    Suddenly, the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast''s third eye suddenly lit up, emitting a ray of terrifying beam.


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed, it was already too late to want to avoid it.


    That guy should have already escaped, right? There must be something wrong with my head, why would I abandon myself to save him? This was the final thought in Baili Qingyan''s mind before becoming unconscious.


    Bang!


    That beam of light directly struck Baili Qingyan. Baili Qingyan''s body flew out backward, falling heavily to the ground, unconscious to the world.


    "Roar!"


    Defeating Baili Qingyan, the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast emitted a heaven-shaking roar once more. It was as if declaring its might.


    He walked over toward Ye Yuan step by step. The powerful aura was virtually crushing Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him, slowly walked to Baili Qingyan''s side, picked her up, and walked over toward outside the cave.


    "Roar, roar!"


    The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast was clearly enraged by Ye Yuan. This tiny human actually did not pay attention to him!


    He raised his giant claw and smacked down toward Ye Yuan.


    In his view, this claw going down, Ye Yuan would definitely be smacked into a paste.


    But right at this time, a terrifying aura came out of Ye Yuan''s body.


    This aura, even he felt a chill.


    Bang!


    The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast was directly blasted flying.


    ...


    Baili Qingyan slowly opened both eyes, everything in front of her became clear.


    "I �� I''m not dead yet?"


    Baili Qingyan looked around, there was no one, and also no shadow of the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast.


    "Who saved me? Could it be that �� the Shadowmoon Sect''s powerhouse just happened to pass by here? Eh �� My injuries are all healed?" Baili Qingyan was full of doubts.


    She clearly remembered that she was severely struck by the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, her injuries very serious.


    "Of course it was me who saved you! You wouldn''t naively think that some savior will appear, right?"


    A voice rang out. Ye Yuan''s figure walked out of the cave not far away.


    Baili Qingyan was slightly stunned. This guy actually did not run away?


    Or was it that after running away, he came back again?


    Of course, regarding Ye Yuan''s narrative, she would not believe even if beaten to death.


    "With just you? The Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast can shred you with one claw, you still want to save me from under his hands?" Baili Qingyan said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Otherwise, who else do you think can save you?"


    Baili Qingyan smiled coldly and said, "Of course it''s the Shadowmoon Sect''s powerhouse! You take the credit of others, it''s in hopes of moving me, then getting into my good graces, right? You''re thinking too much!"


    Ye Yuan was speechless when he heard that. Please, it was you who was thinking too much, okay?


    But since Baili Qingyan thought so, he could not be bothered to explain either, and casually threw a few fruits in front of Baili Qingyan.


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed and she said, "These �� These are Jade Citron Fruits?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "To be able to have the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast protect it, it''s naturally good stuff. We are teammates, these few are yours, don''t say that I don''t share profits."


    Baili Qingyan looked at Ye Yuan and could not help getting a big shock as she said, "You �� You broke through?"


    She discovered to her amazement that Ye Yuan''s aura became much stronger. He actually broke through to Sixth Firmament Divine Lord in one stroke while she was unconscious.


    Ye Yuan''s realm had long already reached peak Fifth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Finding these Jade Citron Fruits at this time, breaking through was naturally something within expectations.


    It was just that in Baili Qingyan''s view, this breakthrough was also a little too casual.


    Even if one obtained the Jade Citron Fruit, they also could not immediately turn it into strength.


    Jade Citron Fruits contained immense spiritual energy. It was even stronger than the medicinal effects of some medicinal pills.


    If consumed too many, the martial artist would not be able to digest it at all.


    Even if one was about to break through, they also had to go into closed-seclusion patiently to slowly refine, before it could convert into strength.


    But it shouldn''t have been too long from when she went into a coma until now, right?


    This �� Broke through like this?


    How could she know that after Ye Yuan obtained the Jade Citron Fruits, he directly ate them like fruits?


    With the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s overbearingness, it was naturally all refined, converging into the divine vortex.


    "You refine the Jade Citron Fruits first. This way, you should be able to break through to the peak Ninth Firmament Divine Lord Realm," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Baili Qingyan felt that it was a little too dramatic. Encountering the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast, she even thought that she was dead for sure.


    Who knew that in a twinkle, not only did she not die, her strength could even go up a level.


    Baili Qingyan collected her emotions and started refining the Jade Citron Fruits.


    After several days, Baili Qingyan slowly opened both eyes, her gaze revealing excitement.


    Refining a Jade Citron Fruit, her strength already broke through to peak Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Confronting Zhong Hanlin again at this time, Baili Qingyan had absolute confidence in defeating the other party.


    "Tsk tsk, indeed well-deserving of being a proud daughter of heaven. Your effects of refining the Jade Citron Fruit is even better than I imagined," Ye Yuan praised.


    Baili Qingyan''s talent could virtually rival Leng Qiuling''s already.


    In this void realm, she was absolutely a first-rate genius.


    Even Zhong Hanlin they all were unable to be mentioned in the same breath as Baili Qingyan too.


    After all, their ages were much older than Baili Qingyan.


    Baili Qingyan had a proud look and said coolly, "That''s of course! The Bamboo Groove Holy Temple''s slot, I must obtain it!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then when the time comes, we''ll become opponents."


    Baili Qingyan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, "You want to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave too? Stop joking, you wouldn''t think that you''re invincible under the heavens after you broke through becoming a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head as he said, "Are you all, these geniuses, always so condescending? There''s still more than 200 years'' time away from the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. Who will emerge victorious is still unknown!"


    But Baili Qingyan said very calmly, "Over 200 years, to people like you, you can at most promote to become a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. Even if you''re exceptionally talented, there''s also not a trace of hope of breaking through to half-step Celestial Deity."


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "It''s useless to say more for now. Let''s wait and see."


    Baili Qingyan also considered herself to be important and did not argue. Instead, she asked, "There''s already not much of the one month''s time left. The heavenly demon crystals in our hands are not considered many. It''s a little troublesome now."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You don''t need to worry about this. Someone will come and deliver heavenly demon crystals to us."

 1788 Cant Even Win a Hand

    "Of course I heard. So do you want to go and find him too? I heard that people who went to find him were all pilfered until not even pants remain in the end!"


    "This guy is also too ferocious. I didn''t expect that his strength is so strong! However, he also can''t jump around for much longer. I heard that Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin both went to look for him."


    ...


    Baili Qingyan capitalized on that her strength was powerful. The places she went were all very dangerous. Otherwise, she also would not have run into such a powerful existence like the Three-Eyed Jade Bristlebeast.


    That kind of place, the martial artists encountered were naturally few.


    The moment Ye Yuan and Baili Qingyan separated, it attracted a large group of people to come over and encircle him very quickly.


    These people all thought that his strength was meager and purely wanted to take a bit of advantage. Who knew that they tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice, and was robbed clean of heavenly demon crystals by Ye Yuan instead.


    At this time, in an open area, Ye Yuan was blocked by more than a dozen powerhouses.


    These people''s auras were all powerful. They were actually all Seventh and Eighth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouses.


    Among these people included Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu.


    "Ye Yuan, I''ll see where you''re going to run this time!" Zhao Shu had an appearance like he had cornered Ye Yuan as he said these words smugly.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, "When did I say that I was going to run? I''m here, waiting precisely for you all to deliver yourselves to the doorstep."


    Zhao Zhao sneered and said, "Waiting for us to deliver ourselves to the doorstep? A toad yawning, what high-sounding sentiments! You wouldn''t say that you''re waiting here to snatch our heavenly demon crystals, right?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head solemnly and said, "Looks like you''re not too stupid."


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, this group of people all revealed amused looks.


    Did this guy''s head have a problem?


    Zhao Zhao shook his head and laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, "Breaking through to become a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, is this your reliance? You wouldn''t really think that defeating Third Brother by a fluke, you can similarly defeat me, right? Kid, I have to say that you''re very naive!"


    Zhao Shu also laughed loudly and said, "Truly an ignorant fool! Why do you think that Han Yong was so wary of my big brother? My big brother fused water and fire, two kinds of laws, and it''s hard to find an opponent in the same rank. Moreover, we have so many people, each one has a higher realm than you. How dumb are you to say words that have such an exaggerated opinion of your abilities?"


    These people were all the Devil Elephant lineage''s elites.


    Among these dozen over people, there were even quite a number of Eighth Firmament Divine Lords.


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look, "Is that so? Then you all attack together, let me witness your strength. I''ll only use one hand, hope that you all don''t disappoint me too much."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan placed his left hand behind him, with a very proud look.


    The Devil Elephant lineage''s disciples all had stunned faces. This guy was really crazy!


    One hand dealing with so many people?


    Even Duan Qinghong the three of them also did not dare to be arrogant, right?


    "Hahaha, the genius Ye Yuan wants to witness the strength of us rookies. Everyone, don''t be polite. Take good care of him. He''s so impressive, so we mustn''t let him down. All keep your chins up!" Zhao Zhao laughed loudly and said.


    When everyone heard that, they immediately let out a series of loud guffaws.


    "This fellow, his strength isn''t strong, but his tone is even bigger than the heavens!"


    "This is called as having ambition loftier than the heavens, but life thinner than paper, right? Haha!"


    "Everyone, go easier, loosen up his bones and joints well for him. If he''s beaten to death at once, it won''t be fun."


    ...


    Zhao Zhao waved his hand grandly, those Devil Elephant lineage''s disciples all had shocking momentums, each displaying their abilities and rushing over towards Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Several figures arrived at the same time, it was all blade lights and sword images all around Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan was as steady as Mount Tai.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan''s right hand shot out like a spirit snake, directly grabbing at that disciple who rushed over from head-on.


    Crack!


    That disciple''s wrist was directly snapped by Ye Yuan, his weapon falling onto the ground with a clank.


    While the other people''s frantic attacks danced wildly around Ye Yuan, but not one landed on Ye Yuan.


    Smack!


    Ye Yuan gave a slap with a backhand, directly flinging it onto another disciple''s face, immediately sending him flying out several thousand feet away.


    The present Ye Yuan already utilized spatial law to a transcendent degree.


    For ordinary attacks to want to land on him, it was simply even harder than ascending to heaven.


    Unless their strength was much greater than his, then they could use powerful world power to suppress spatial law.


    Otherwise, there was only the outcome of being abused.


    These Devil Elephant lineage''s disciples were mostly Seventh Firmament Divine Lord. In terms of realm, they were only that tiny bit stronger than Ye Yuan.


    But the thickness of Ye Yuan''s divine essence was much stronger than even Seventh Firmament Divine Lords.


    Overwhelming laws, overwhelming cultivation realm, this was a totally mismatched battle.


    It was only to see tragic screams ring out, causing Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu two people''s expressions became livid.


    "Spatial law! It''s spatial law! No wonder this guy dares to be so arrogant. It turns out that he actually comprehended spatial law!" Zhao Shu cried out in shock.


    Zhao Zhao''s expression was very grim. Ye Yuan''s might far exceeded their imagination.


    "Attack together!"


    Zhao Zhao gave a cold cry, figure shooting out explosively.


    Zhao Shu''s expression also changed, and he followed closely behind.


    "Twin Dragon Spitting Pearl!"


    "Swift Wind Sword Art!"


    Among these people, it was clearly Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shu whose strengths were the strongest.


    The addition of the two of them made the overall strength go up a large step.


    However, Ye Yuan laughed coldly, forming a sword with his finger, and suddenly pointed. The two enormous dragons that Zhao Jian condensed with the power of water and fire, two mighty laws, were directly scattered.


    Following that, he clamped two fingers, and actually directly clamped down on Zhao Shu''s sword.


    Zhao Zhao was akin to being struck by a heavy blow, spewing out a mouthful of blood mist, figure flying out backward.


    Ye Yuan''s two fingers were like iron pliers. Zhao Shu used all of his strength, but could not pull it out at all.


    "This is the strength of your Devil Elephant lineage? Really disappoints me!" Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Zhao Shu''s face flushed red, no wonder whether it was because he used too much force, or was it because of Ye Yuan.


    All in all, it was very humiliating.


    Previously, Song Ting even said that the Devil Elephant lineage was not to be trifled with. But they sent out more than a dozen people and actually could not even beat one of Ye Yuan''s hand.


    This result truly made people perspire from embarrassment.


    "Humph! Truly a bunch of trash! So many people and you actually can''t even deal with a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord!"


    At this time, a cold snort sounded out, the words were full of disdain.


    "Heh, that punk comprehended spatial law, no wonder he''s so arrogant! With the strength of these trash, defeat is also within reason," another voice sounded out.


    Two figures, one north and one south, slowly walked out of the woods.


    When Zhao Zhao saw these two people, he could not help being overjoyed.


    Duan Qinghong!


    Zhong Hanlin!


    These two people arrived, then Ye Yuan was dead for sure!


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended spatial law, the result was also the same.


    Having the Devil Elephant lineage''s number one person around, Ye Yuan was too weak to stand up to compete with them all.


    Zhong Hanlin looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Punk, there was Junior Sister Baili protecting you the last time. This time, you won''t be so lucky!"

 1789 Stop Making So Much Noise, Attack Together

    With the two of their strengths, they naturally disdained to team up with others.


    Only a proud daughter of heaven like Baili Qingyan could make them stoop down and take the initiative to form a team.


    Therefore, Duan Qinghong did not know Zhong Hanlin''s encounter at all.


    Zhong Hanlin gave a cold laugh and recounted the events that happened previously. Duan Qinghong''s face gradually turned grim.


    "You scram to one side! This punk, I want him!" Duan Qinghong said in a cold voice.


    Zhong Hanlin said disdainfully, "It''s you who scram to one side! This kid is mine! Nobody is allowed to snatch him!"


    Duan Qinghong said in a solemn voice, "Why? You want to attack?"


    "Attack then, think am scared of you?"


    The two people, their Ninth Firmament Divine Lords'' pressure released, making everyone feel shocked.


    The two people''s auras collided fiercely in the air. Neither could do anything to the other and they were actually evenly-matched.


    These two people did not place Ye Yuan in their sights at all, as if the moment they made a move, Ye Yuan would submit obediently.


    The Devil Elephant lineage''s disciples all had stunned looks. What was going on?


    Ye Yuan had not been dealt with yet and these two people were actually going to start fighting first. Weren''t they afraid of Ye Yuan running away?


    But when they heard Zhong Hanlin''s words, they similarly felt incredulous.


    Baili Qingyan that kind of goddess actually came to blow for Ye Yuan, this was simply inconceivable.


    "Stop making so much noise, the two of you attack together," just as the two people were locked in entanglement, Ye Yuan said with a calm expression.


    The two people turned their heads at the same time, using a murderous gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    "Punk, you''re really seeking death, you know that?" Zhong Hanlin said with a grim expression.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "The self-confidence of you all, these so-called geniuses, are really good. Wonder where your confidence came from, thinking that you can take me down casually."


    Duan Qinghong gave a cold laugh and said, "You''ll know very soon where our confidence comes from. Kid, I changed my mind. I''ll going to make you a mute first, then settle scores with Duan Qinghong."


    Swoosh!


    Duan Qinghong was like his namesake, movement technique as relaxed as elegant as a free swan, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    A folding fan carried horrifying power of law and swept toward Ye Yuan''s neck.


    Zhong Hanlin was taken aback, not expecting to have the initiative taken by this guy.


    However, he just gave a cold snort and did not take action.


    A person like him was disdainful to bully with numbers.


    Suddenly, his pupils constricted and he exclaimed, "Laws fusion! This �� how is this possible?"


    Not just him, all of the people looked at Ye Yuan in great shock, with looks of disbelief.


    Duan Qinghong was fast, but Ye Yuan was faster than him!


    Ye Yuan''s sword was drawn like a rainbow, the incomparably swift and fierce sword forced Duan Qinghong into a fluster instead.


    The two people clashing together, Duan Qinghong was virtually suppressed by Ye Yuan in an instant.


    How could Duan Qinghong have thought that not only did Ye Yuan comprehend spatial law, but he also fused spatial law and Sword Dao law together?


    Those rays of sword light were akin to the scythe of the death god, making him palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    "What are you still in a daze for? Why haven''t you hurry up and come and help!"


    Duan Qinghong was under immense pressure but discovered that Zhong Hanlin was still in a daze, and could not refrain from bellowing loudly.


    At this time, how was whatever dignity of an expert still needed?


    As long as they could take down Ye Yuan this fellow, so what if two-on-one?


    Zhong Hanlin felt like he woke up from a dream. Brandishing his long spear, he charged over toward Ye Yuan.


    The two people''s strengths were extraordinary in the end. Fighting two-on-one, they actually managed to block Ye Yuan''s powerful sword.


    Zhao Zhao and brother exchanged a glance, both seeing the look of shock from the other person''s eyes.


    Only then did he know how foolish their three brothers were.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was not what they could imagine at all.


    Back then, Han Yong said that he was covering Ye Yuan, and then they actually ran to threaten Ye Yuan stupidly. It served Ol'' Third right to have his hands and legs crippled.


    Looking at it now, it was simply a joke back then.


    Ye Yuan not leaving, it was not because of Han Yong and Yang Fan, these two supports, but that he did not take the Zhao three brothers seriously at all!


    Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin two people were both middle-stage Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, their laws comprehensions were even more peerlessly powerful.


    Furthermore, the weapons in the two of their hands were both celestial deity mystic treasures. The power increment was far from what divine lord mystic treasures could compare to.


    Now, going two-on-one, they actually only barely managed to fight to a draw with the Ye Yuan wielding a divine lord mystic treasure.


    Ye Yuan''s strength was simply too terrifying.


    In a blink, the three people fought for more than a thousand moves, Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin could not gain the slightest bit of advantage.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan glimpsed an opening and stabbed a sword out bizarrely.


    Duan Qinghong turned pale with fright, it was already too late to want to dodge.


    But his movement technique was indeed extraordinary, avoiding his vital points.


    This sword of Ye Yuan''s drew a cut on his arm.


    "ARGHH!!"


    Duan Qinghong screamed and fell to one side.


    However, what everyone did not expect was that he suddenly moved, speeding into the distance.


    This guy �� actually made an expeditious retreat and ran!


    When Zhong Hanlin saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    Facing Ye Yuan alone, he felt tremendous pressure.


    "Duan Qinghong, you coward! You''ll die a horrible death!" Zhong Hanlin bellowed.


    But Duan Qinghong already could not hear it anymore at this time.


    Losing an opponent, Ye Yuan''s sword art became even sharper. Zhong Hanlin only had the ability to parry but did not have the strength to retaliate.


    Ye Yuan integrated the Spirit Concealing Sword into his sword moves. Even though the move was not as powerful as when it erupted, it came and went like a shadow when facing the enemy; impossible to guard against.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan found an opening in Zhong Hanlin, with a long sword poking out like a spirit snake, aiming straight for Zhong Hanlin''s throat.


    With this sword landing, Zhong Hanlin would die without a doubt.


    Toward Zhong Hanlin, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of pity.


    Zhong Hanlin already had killing intent toward him previously. Even if they entered the sect in the future, he definitely would not let him go either.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan''s original goal was to kill people!


    The surrounding people were infected by this sword, giving off a series of exclamations.


    Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    A terrifying aura rushed out between the two without any warning.


    Even Ye Yuan was caught off-guard as well.


    But his reaction could be rated as fast. At once, Ye Yuan urged spatial law to the extreme, narrowly avoiding this attack.


    However, this aura was too powerful and it was also a sneak attack, Ye Yuan still could not avoid it completely in the end.


    "Puhwark!"


    Ye Yuan spurted fresh blood wildly, his body falling heavily to the ground, already seriously injured.


    A youth in blue slowly walked out of the void and looked at Ye Yuan with a contemptuous look.


    When Zhong Hanlin saw this youth in blue, he was immediately wildly ecstatic.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye!"


    Qian Ye nodded slowly, but his gaze looked at Ye Yuan as he said coldly, "You must have tremendous bravery, to actually dare kill my Soaring Flower Sect''s people? Indeed have some capability, but it''s just a pity that �� in front of a Celestial Deity Realm, no matter how high your laws comprehension, it''s also empty talk!"


    Ye Yuan glared at the youth in blue and stood up stubbornly.


    Even though he found it somewhat difficult to even stand currently.

 1790 Wont Be So Lucky Next Time

    This youth in blue in front of him was a genuine Celestial Deity powerhouse!


    He used a gaze that overlooked the ground below from a height, gazing at Ye Yuan apathetically.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was icy-cold, and he said with a cold smile, "An exalted Celestial Deity powerhouse actually sneak attacked a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, your esteemed self is truly awe-inspiring!"


    Qian Ye''s ambush could be said to be very shameless.


    The attack of a Celestial Deity powerhouse, how powerful was that?


    Even in a head-on crushing, Divine Lord Realm powerhouses were completely not a match too.


    But this Qian Ye actually chose to ambush, and it was even during Ye Yuan and Zhong Hanlin''s great battle.


    Qian Ye said coolly, "Hanlin is my Soaring Flower Sect''s genius. His future prospects are limitless. Him entering the sect is already set in stone. You want to kill him, I made a move to stop you. What''s the problem."


    Ye Yuan sneered when he heard that and said, "Is that so? You didn''t just make a move to stop earlier, right?"


    Qian Ye''s brows raised up, and he still said calmly, "A Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, if killed, then killed, it''s of no importance to the sect."


    The moment these words came out, the other people all revealed strange expressions.


    Of no importance?


    A peerless genius who fused Sword Dao laws and spatial law was actually of no importance to the sect?


    These words were truly shameless!


    "H-Heh heh, a trash like you can even enter the sect, I can''t?" Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said sarcastically.


    Qian Ye''s brows furrowed slightly, and he said unhappily, "You said that I''m trash?"


    Qian Ye was an outstanding person of the young generation and had long promoted to an inner-disciple. He was a pillar of the Soaring Flower lineage.


    Now, he was actually said to be trash by someone.


    "An exalted Celestial Deity powerhouse sneak attacked and actually couldn''t even kill a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord. I say, are you trash or not? What use does the sect want a trash like you for?"


    Ye Yuan''s sharp retort rendered Qian Ye speechless.


    Ye Yuan comprehended spatial law and was extremely sensitive to spatial fluctuations.


    Wanting to sneak attack, one must reduce the undulations of space to freezing point.


    This was still when Ye Yuan and Zhong Hanlin were currently fighting, the majority of his mind placed on Zhong Hanlin.


    Otherwise, if he wanted to ambush, it would be totally impossible.


    But even so, he still failed.


    Ye Yuan''s sensitivity to spatial law exceeded his imagination.


    Qian Ye''s expression was livid as he said in a solemn voice, "Razor-tongued brat, but it doesn''t matter, because you won''t be able to speak anymore very soon."


    Suddenly, a graceful figure dashed out swiftly, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Qian Ye''s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, "Baili Qingyan, you want to get in my way?"


    Baili Qingyan''s expression was calm as she said, "Before completing the first round assessment, he''s my companion. No one is allowed to kill him!"


    Qian Ye''s expression changed and he said with a cold snort, "With just you?"


    From when he saw Ye Yuan fighting Zhong Hanlin and Duan Qinghong alone, he already decided to kill Ye Yuan.


    Such a monstrous existence would surely break the Shadowmoon Sect''s current structure.


    Currently, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was at hand, he would not allow such a thing to happen.


    The entrance examination this time, he just so happened to be picked to be in charge of supervising and protecting these disciples.


    But he did not expect that he encountered such a thing.


    Hence, he decisively made a move to ambush Ye Yuan.


    While talking, Qian Ye''s aura grew even stronger. Baili Qingyan''s power improved greatly, but it was still too weak in front of Qian Ye.


    Ye Yuan''s face fell, planning on letting Dustless take action.


    That evil spirit was currently Ye Yuan''s trump card. In this foreign sect, Ye Yuan did not wish to expose him prematurely, so he did not take action all along.


    As long as Dustless made a move, finishing off Qian Ye was also a cinch.


    But that way, he would not have a backup plan anymore.


    The Soaring Flying lineage''s and Cloudsword lineage''s strengths were definitely far beyond this.


    Once they knew his trump card, it would be much easier for them to want to plot against him.


    Looking at it now, he had no choice but to take action.


    Suddenly, his heart stirred and made Dustless withdraw again.


    "Baili can''t, then what about me?"


    A woman in a martial arts outfit slowly stepped out of the void, making Qian Ye''s expression choke up.


    That instant when this woman appeared, he knew that he could not kill Ye Yuan today.


    Her looks could not compare to Baili Qingyan''s, but her disposition was similarly extraordinary.


    The martial arts outfit added some heroism. She was not the least bit weaker than Qian Ye in terms of imposing momentum.


    "Jiang Xueyan, I didn''t have the intention of touching Baili Qingyan. You move aside, the person that I want to kill is that kid!" Qian Ye pointed at the Ye Yuan behind Baili Qingyan and said.


    Jiang Xueyan sized Ye Yuan up with curiosity and said coolly, "The person that Baili wants to protect is what the person that my Immortal Abode Sect wants to protect. If you want to kill him, pass me first!"


    "You! Jiang Xueyan, are you waging war with our Soaring Flower lineage?"


    Jiang Xueyan pursed her lips and said with disdain, "So what if start a war? You said it as if our Immortal Abode Sect is scared of you!"


    Qian Ye was angered until his expression was livid. This woman was notoriously difficult to deal with, no idea why she showed up here today.


    But no idea what the hell was wrong with this Baili Qingyan, to actually want to protect Ye Yuan no matter what.


    Really depressing!


    Jiang Xueyan saw Qian Ye being quiet, and so she said with a cold smile, "Qian Ye, don''t you forget your identity! The sect asked you to come to protect these examinees, and not to kill them! I say, if I reported this matter to the sect, would the Law Enforcement Hall come to find trouble with you or not?"


    Qian Ye stared fixedly at Jiang Xueyan, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he said, "Consider yourself ruthless! Kid, consider yourself lucky today. The next time, you won''t be so lucky."


    Inside the Shadowmoon Sect, the various major factions'' strifes were severe.


    Although Ye Yuan was talented, wanting to kill him was too easy.


    In short, he would not give Ye Yuan the chance to grow up.


    Ye Yuan did not give any impression of weakness and said through clenched teeth, "You got it the other way around. Next time, you won''t be so lucky!"


    Qian Ye was taken aback when he heard and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Haha, alright then, I''ll wait for next time! Hanlin, let''s go!"


    After Qian Ye left, Jiang Xueyan''s face fell and she said in a cold voice, "What are you all stoning for? Leave behind the heavenly demon crystals, scram!"


    How could the Devil Elephant lineage''s disciples still dare to stay? Each and every one scrambled away.


    After everyone left, Baili Qingyan had a look of joy like a little girl who saw her big sister. Pulling Jiang Xueyan, she said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, you really came too in time. Otherwise, this guy is dead for sure."


    But Jiang Xueyan''s face turned cold and she said, "You lass, to actually not even want your life anymore for a man, are you crazy?"


    Baili Qingyan''s pretty face turned red and she refuted, "Senior Apprentice Sister, where are you going with this? He �� He''s just my companion."


    Ye Yuan also cupped his fists and said, "Senior Sister Jiang, many thanks for taking action to help! Senior Sister is indeed mistaken. Miss Baili and I are just teaming up in this assessment. There''s nothing else."


    Hearing this, Baili Qingyan''s heart felt very uncomfortable.


    This guy really did not understand the relationship between men and women at all.


    Jiang Xueyan''s pretty face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice, "Best that there isn''t! Punk, don''t blame me for not warning you. Stay further away from Baili. Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!"

 1791 Reading Out the Results

    He did not have the intention of pestering Baili Qingyan, but that Baili Qingyan insisted on teaming up with him.


    Ye Yuan believed that with the Immortal Abode Sect''s strength, it was impossible to not know about this intel.


    But she still warned him.


    When Jiang Xueyan saw Ye Yuan''s expression, she said with a cold smile, "Don''t think that you''re impressive because your talent is high. Sometimes, talent is also a kind of original sin! Regardless of whether it is the Soaring Flower Sect, the Cloudsword sect, or our Immortal Abode Sect, wanting to kill you is as simple as crushing an ant! Just like earlier, if not for Baili, if not for me rushing over, you would already be a dead man now. While you can only hide behind a woman, indignant but powerless."


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned cold, that trace of favorable impression towards Jiang Xueyan also vanished into thin air along with it.


    These words were rather incisive.


    "Your pride is because you have a powerful faction at the back? Then I have to say, you''re very pitiful! Your lame sense of superiority isn''t worth mentioning in front of me! Also, what relationship Miss Baili and I have, isn''t your turn to care about yet. She only belongs to herself!" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Except, Jiang Xueyan did not get angry because of Ye Yuan''s words, but she sneered and said, "This is that pitiful bit of self-esteem of yours? Relax, very soon, you''ll see how cruel reality is. The Shadowmoon Sect doesn''t lack geniuses. Baili, let''s go."


    "Senior Apprentice Sister! The assessment hasn''t ended yet!" But Baili Qingyan was not willing to go and made an excuse.


    Jiang Xueyan''s face fell and she said, "The heavenly demon crystals in your hands are already sufficient to pass the assessment, there''s also no need to stay anymore."


    Finished talking, Jiang Xueyan gave no chance to explain and forcefully brought Baili Qingyan away.


    After everyone left, Ye Yuan spewed out another large mouthful of blood.


    "Qian Ye, is it? Today''s grudge, I''ve remembered it!" Ye Yuan said with a chilly gaze.


    How powerful was the blow of a First Firmament Celestial Deity? That was only the case for Ye Yuan. If it were others, they would already be dead until not even dregs remained at this time.


    That instant just now, Ye Yuan employed spatial law, directing the vast majority of the force out. That was how he escaped death by a hair''s breadth.


    The perils involved were hard to describe.


    Divine Dao realm, each major realm was a layer of firmament.


    The world power of martial artists went from a quantitative change to qualitative change.


    From a small world, transforming into a genuine world, evolving myriad life, becoming the sovereign of a world.


    When the small world truly consolidated, all life was about to form, it was also when one broke through to the True God Realm.


    Hence, the Celestial Deity Realm, even just a First Firmament Celestial Deity, that was also an invincible existence to those in the Divine Lord Realms.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to avoid this attack, it was truly incredibly dangerous.


    Alone by himself, Ye Yuan found a secluded place to heal up his injuries.


    After several days, a month''s time was up, Ye Yuan walked out of the Shadowmoon Mountain Range.


    ...


    Returning to the mountain gate once more, the number of people in the plaza was clearly significantly lesser.


    This examination did not forbid killing. Quite a number of disciples lost their lives at the maws of fierce beasts or died at other people''s hands.


    Those able to live were all powerhouses.


    Of course, if not for Qian Ye''s forceful intervention, Zhong Hanlin this so-called genius would have to remain in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range forever.


    That old man in charge of the assessment slowly opened his mouth and said, "Now, hand over all of your heavenly demon crystals. After verifying, this old man will naturally announce the rankings."


    Baili Qingyan''s and Ye Yuan two people''s heavenly demon crystals had been under Ye Yuan''s custody all this while.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the crowd and handed the storage ring issued by the sect to a miscellaneous affairs disciple.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, soft discussions immediately started in the crowd.


    "It''s that guy Senior Apprentice Sister Baili took the initiative to team up with. He''s really lucky, really entered the second round lying down."


    "Heh, one time luck is useless. The second round is the true test. With his strength, it''s totally impossible to pass."


    "Tsk tsk, spending the night together with Senior Apprentice Sister Baili in the mountain, make me die and I''d also be willing!"


    ...


    The news of Ye Yuan and Duan Qinghong''s great battle did not spread.


    This concerned the Soaring Flower lineage and Cloudsword lineage, two major forces'' reputations. How could they dare to simply talk about it?


    Although the Devil Elephant lineage was strong, compared to the three great factions, it was still much weaker.


    Moreover, this also concerned the Devil Elephant lineage''s own reputation.


    Such a powerful faction was actually defeated in Ye Yuan''s hands alone, how could they have any face?


    The Devil Elephant lineage already issued a gag order, that everyone was not to mention that events that happened that day.


    Baili Qingyan was also in the crowd. Looking at Ye Yuan''s back view, her expression was complicated.


    The gazes of Qian Ye, Duan Qinghong, Zhong Hanlin, and the rest also kept on following Ye Yuan, full of enmity.


    The moment Ye Yuan took the field, he practically became the center of everyone''s attention.


    That old man looked at Ye Yuan with a curious look on his face.


    What in the world did this kid do? Why would so many people pay attention to him?


    Very soon, everyone handed in their storage rings.


    After a bout of checking, the old man called Qian Ye to his side and said, "Qian Ye, you announce the results."


    Qian Ye bowed and said, "Yes, Deacon Hong!"


    But, when his gaze landed on the name list, his expression could not help becoming very ugly.


    The first place was shockingly Baili Qingyan and Ye Yuan, this combo.


    This damn fellow, how did he get so many heavenly demon crystals? He and Baili Qingyan teaming up, the heavenly demon crystal quantity that they acquired in the end is actually more than the remaining top five added up! Qian Ye was reluctant to accept it in his heart.


    One had to know, under the situation of teaming up, not only did the number of heavenly demon crystals have to be greatly discounted, one even had to share equally with their teammates.


    This way, for teams to want to get first place, it was doubly difficult.


    The normal situation of teams were all those disciples whose strength were not strong. Because they had to face uncertain danger.


    Disciples who truly had strength felt it beneath their dignity to form teams.


    "Why? Could there be a problem?" Deacon Hong asked when he saw Qian Ye keeping mum for a long time.


    Qian Ye''s expression changed and he hurriedly said, "N-No problem!"


    He recollected his mind and started reading out the results: "First place, Baili Qingyan, Ye Yuan, heavenly demon crystal quantity, 223 pieces each! Second place, Zhong Hanlin, heavenly demon crystal quantity 83 pieces ��"


    Buzz!


    An uproar burst out below all at once


    That Deacon Hong also had a stunned face, looking at Qian Ye in disbelief, suspecting whether he read wrongly or not.


    223 pieces of heavenly demon crystals. Furthermore, this was teaming up, this number was too much.


    Furthermore, this quantity of heavenly demon crystals was converted into late-stage rank four heavenly demon crystals.


    Ten pieces of middle-stage rank four heavenly demon crystal could exchange for the heavenly demon crystal of a late-stage rank four.


    This was also to say that these two people hunted down at least a thousand rank four fierce beasts!


    Doing to this extent in a month''s time was simply fantastical.


    In the past, the first place was merely 80 to 90 pieces of heavenly demon crystals.


    Baili Qingyan''s pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief, with an incredulous expression on her face.


    Suddenly, her beautiful body shuddered, suddenly thinking of something, her pupils involuntarily constricting.

 1792 Shameless Action

    Silkcloud Canyon was a very dangerous place in the Shadowmoon Sect. To Divine Lord Realm martial artists, it was equivalent to a forbidden area.


    That place had tens of thousands of Blackwater Salamanders!


    Those Blackwater Salamanders, the weak ones were rank three, but those of rank four were absolutely no less than thousands.


    What was even more frightening was that there was even a rank five existence in there!


    Baili Qingyan suddenly remembered that she and Ye Yuan had once gone to the Silkcloud Canyon''s entrance area.


    Back then, Ye Yuan wanted to go in to take a look but was stopped by Baili Qingyan.


    Thinking about it now, it was only there that Ye Yuan could hunt so many heavenly demon crystals.


    Wanting to obtain so many heavenly demon crystals, one must have encountered a beast horde.


    Otherwise, even if one hunted day and night, it was also impossible to obtain so many heavenly demon crystals.


    Except, once one fell into a beast horde, was there still hope of survival?


    Ye Yuan hunted so many Blackwater Salamanders, wouldn''t it alarm the rank five beast king?


    For some time, Baili Qingyan was full of questions.


    "Wait a minute!" Deacon Hong''s expression suddenly turned dark, and he stopped Qian Ye and said, "How can there possibly be so many? Is there a mistake?"


    At this time, a miscellaneous affairs disciples who counted the number hurriedly stepped out of the ranks and said in fear and trepidation: "Replying Deacon Hong, this disciple absolutely didn''t count wrongly. Inside this storage ring, there are a total of 321 pieces of late-stage rank four heavenly demon crystals, 2050 pieces of middle-stage rank four heavenly demon crystal. Converted to late-stage rank four, it''s a total of 526 pieces. Then splitting fifty-fifty between two people, it''s 263 pieces."


    Deacon Hong received Ye Yuan''s storage ring and counted it. Sure enough, there was not a piece more and not a piece less!


    But this result made him extremely shocked.


    Such a large quantity of heavenly demon crystal, this was unprecedented in the history of the Shadowmoon Sect.


    He could not help looking toward Baili Qingyan and asked curiously, "Baili girlie, what''s going on here?"


    Baili Qingyan was just about to open her mouth when Jiang Xueyan suddenly cut in, "Deacon Hong, Qingyang encountered a beast horse in the mountains. She fought in a bloody battle for as long as half a month by herself before slaying so many fierce beasts. And her cultivation also had a breakthrough in this battle. I believe that not long after, she''ll be able to reach half-step Celestial Deity."


    The moment these words came out, everyone''s eyelids twitched fiercely including Baili Qingyan.


    While in a corner, Ye Yuan was directly overlooked.


    However, regarding Jiang Xueyan''s shameless action, Ye Yuan did not have much fluctuation.


    Firstly, Baili Qingyan blocked in front of him several times, helping him out of his predicament.


    Although this kind of help did not have much effect on Ye Yuan, it at least protected him from showing his trump card.


    He, Ye Yuan, made clear distinctions between kindness and hatred. This favor, he accepted it!


    Secondly, Ye Yuan knew that his words carried little weight. Even if he said it, no one would believe either.


    Of course, Qian Ye they all might guess some details, but would they help him speak up?


    Obviously not!


    As for Jiang Xueyan''s goal of doing this, Ye Yuan also knew in his heart.


    She was simply borrowing this to raise Baili Qingyan''s status and overpower the other two lineages, while elevating the Immortal Abode lineage.


    Although doing so had no cause for much criticism standing on Jiang Xueyan''s viewpoint, it was a little too shameless.


    This kind of magpie-in-dove''s-nest method made Ye Yuan very uncomfortable.


    However, Baili Qingyan was very anxious and was just about to speak, but saw Jiang Xueyan turn back with a warning gaze. Baili Qingyan immediately swallowed the words back!


    She was very smart, how could she not know Jiang Xueyan''s goal.


    It was just that doing so, she had a guilty conscience!


    Baili Qingyan could not help looking over in Ye Yuan''s direction but discovered that Ye Yuan was like an old well without ripples, his face not having the least bit of change, as if this had nothing to do with him at all.


    But she knew that Ye Yuan must be angry.


    Encountering this sort of thing, who would not be angry?


    This was not just a matter of reputation, there was also the issue of future benefits.


    Geniuses would naturally obtain more resources.


    And losing this chance to rise to prominence, Ye Yuan''s road of ascent would undoubtedly be much harder.


    As for Qian Ye they all, they also could not help having gloating faces when they heard this.


    Ye Yuan suddenly threw out a heavyweight bombshell, catching them off-guard.


    If Ye Yuan was paid close attention to by the sect, it would be difficult for them to want to put their hands on Ye Yuan.


    In contrast, although Baili Qingyan''s talent was monstrous, it was not monstrous to Ye Yuan''s extent yet.


    The talent that Ye Yuan displayed made them feel tremendous pressure.


    Choosing the lesser of two evils, Jiang Xueyan doing so was exactly what they wanted.


    Deacon Hong had a look of realization when he heard it and said, "So that''s how it is! I didn''t expect that Lass Baili''s strength was actually so strong. This matter, I have to report it to the sect to know."


    As expected, Deacon Hong decided to report this matter to the sect.


    Finished talking, he even looked at Ye Yuan rather disdainfully.


    This kind of fellow with meager strength actually followed Baili Qingyan and won lying down, getting the strongest battle achievement of the Shadowmoon Sect''s entrance examination, really hit the jackpot.


    "Alright, continue reading out the results!" Deacon Hong said coolly.


    Qian Ye''s mood instantly became much better. But his vigilance toward Ye Yuan also grew stronger.


    Sixth Firmament Divine Lord and he could do it to this step, how dreadful would it be after he grew up in the future?


    But he believed that Ye Yuan absolutely could not live long.


    He could tell that Jiang Xueyan was not aware of Ye Yuan''s astonishing achievements beforehand.


    Her action was equivalent to offending Ye Yuan to the core.


    With that kid''s temperament, he absolutely would not walk closely with the Immortal Abode lineage.


    In this case, Ye Yuan had offended all three major lineages before even entering the sect.


    As well as the Devil Elephant lineage.


    The Devil Elephant lineage''s strength was not weak at all.


    The results at the back also did not have anything to pay attention to anymore. Everyone was marveling at Baili Qingyan''s strength and lamenting at Ye Yuan''s dog-shit luck.


    "Alright, everybody, rest for three days, and enter the second round assessment!" Deacon Hong said in a clear voice.


    The moment it ended, Baili Qingyan pulled Jiang Xueyan to one side and complained, "Senior Apprentice Sister, how could you do that? You''re making me unjust and disloyal like this!"


    Jiang Xueyan smiled coldly when she heard that and said, "Justice and loyalty? Can justice and loyalty make you become strong? The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave is about to arrive, you must let your strength become stronger, and have to suppress your opponents ruthlessly. And this kid''s appearance will make the final result very difficult to predict. If he can''t break through to the Celestial Deity Realm, it''s still alright. But if he really breaks through in the 200 plus years? At that time, who can be his match? If not looking on the account of your face, I''d have killed him at the Shadowmoon Mountain Range!"


    Baili Qingyan had an indignant look on her face. But when she recalled Master''s great trust toward her and thought of the sect''s ardent hopes, it was seriously hard to choose.


    She thought of Ye Yuan again, feeling very depressed in her heart.


    Why did he have to swallow his pride and endure in silence, and not argue for himself?


    What in the world was this guy thinking?


    She desperately wanted to go and apologize to Ye Yuan, but Jiang Xueyan guarded her without leaving a step, making her unable to leave at all.

 1793 Those Who Find It Hard Dont Know, Those Who Know Wont Find It Hard

    Deacon Hong turned in the direction of the sect and directly bowed down.


    "Shadowmoon Sect disciple, Hong Xiao, respectfully invites the Jadelight Drum!"


    While talking, Deacon Hong took out a small flag, poured divine essence into it, and directly plugged it into the void.


    Rumble!


    The void immediately emitted intense tremors, rumbling sounds lingering on incessantly.


    Amidst everyone''s shock gazes, a huge drum slowly emerged from the void.


    "Argh! My ears!"


    "I �� I can''t hear anymore!"


    The humming sounds that the huge drum emitted shocked until everyone''s eardrums hurt.


    Those slightly weaker ones even directly spewed out a mouthful of blood, their internal organs already injured.


    "This �� is the melody of Great Dao!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up as he marveled a little.


    Regarding this kind of mysterious feeling, Ye Yuan was not foreign to it.


    Back then when he preached on Dao at the fiend race, he had once triggered Great Dao Heavenly Melody. The sound that this Jadelight Drum gave off achieved the same wondrous effect with different means.


    It was just that the Great Dao Heavenly Melody that Ye Yuan triggered belonged to Alchemy Dao.


    While the Jadelight Drum''s melody of Great Dao was extremely aggressive. Clearly, it was a Dao with extremely strong offensive power.


    Ye Yuan was secretly startled in his heart and said, "Looks like this Shadowmoon Sect is indeed extraordinary. This Jadelight Drum should be a top-level true god mystic treasure, its power unimaginable. Just the slight aftermath of the vibrations of the drum surface have such power."


    Toward this kind of Great Dao melody, Ye Yuan accepted it calmly.


    But Baili Qingyan and the rest secretly revolved divine essence, blocking this impact.


    Gradually, the Jadelight Drum''s vibration noises subsided. Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    Deacon Hong''s gaze swept over everyone slightly and said majestically, "The people who vomited blood just now can leave."


    Those people who vomited blood were all incomparably depressed, but they could only leave helplessly.


    "I''ve long heard that the Jadelight Drum''s power is boundless, but I didn''t expect that it''s actually so terrifying!"


    "If it''s unleashed, probably even Celestial Deity powerhouses can be instantly killed too, right?"


    Regarding the Jadelight Drum''s power, these people were all extremely shocked too.


    Deacon Hong''s words made the group of disciples feel slightly alarmed.


    This Jadelight Drum''s power was seriously too terrifying.


    Striking the drum without cultivation attainments was equivalent to seeking death.


    "Alright, now, you all cast spells in reverse-order according to the results of the first round assessment," Deacon Hone said in a clear voice.


    The first one to take the field was a very lean guy.


    Only to see him leap up, arrive in midair. Beckon his hand, a metal rod came into his hands.


    "Limitless Astral Cudgel!"


    The lean man brandished the metal stick and smashed over toward the Jadelight Drum.


    Bang!


    Only to hear a scream, the Jadelight Drum did not sound out, but his right arm that gripped the stick directly exploded into pieces.


    When Duan Qinghong saw this scene, he said scornfully, "Heh, really foolish! Does he think it''s beating an ordinary drum? Choose a metal rod and it can sound out?"


    When Han Yong saw this scene, his expression changed slightly too and said to the Ye Yuan beside him, "Fine lad, that kid just now, his strength wasn''t weak. He''s actually crippled just like that?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "What this Jadelight Drum tests isn''t strength, but comprehension toward Dao. Using brute force will only accomplish the very opposite. The stronger the brute force, the greater the countershock-force. He only had one arm crippled, it''s considered light already. If you went up, your entire person would probably explode into nothing."


    Han Yong chuckled and said, "I wouldn''t be as stupid as him."


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "There''s naturally no problem with your passing the test. But, it''s impossible for you to want to win Zhao Zhao."


    Han Yong''s expression choked up, involuntarily revealing an aggrieved look.


    Their Thundercloud Sect and the Devil Elephant Sect are sworn enemies. Han Yong and Zhao Zhao were also lifetime enemies.


    It was just that no matter how hard he worked, he kept on being unable to surpass Zhao Zhao.


    This had always been his heart knot.


    "Ye Yuan, don''t smack the face when hitting people, don''t rake up one''s shortcomings when picking on people. You being like this, you make me very depressed!" Han Yong said gloomily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I''ll teach you a move that can let you overpower Zhao Zhao, what do you think?"


    Han Yong''s eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "For real? You don''t fool me. Otherwise, we won''t be brothers anymore."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fool you for what? This round is as easy as turning my hand over to me."


    The moment these words came out, not just Han Yong, even the Yang Fan by the side also revealed skeptical looks.


    The two of them did not know Ye Yuan''s stunning performance in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range and naturally did not know Ye Yuan''s true strength.


    "Ye Yuan, these words are a bit too conceited, right? Even though you got first place in the first round, this second round''s Jadelight Drum, even to the first place, it''s absolutely not easy too." Yang Fan said.


    These words were said veiledly, but actually, it was saying that Ye Yuan actually took advantage of people in the first round, and was not a true winner.


    How your strength was, did you not have any score in your heart?


    Blowing your own trumpet here, why didn''t you take a piss and look at your reflection as well?


    Ye Yuan did not refute, but said to Han Yong with a smile, "If you trust me, I''ll teach you. If you don''t believe, then forget it, take it as I didn''t say anything."


    Han Yong''s expression flickered incessantly. Honestly speaking, he was a little skeptical.


    But overpowering Zhao Zhao was also his long-cherished wish of many years.


    Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you say, I believe you!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and whispered a few words in Han Yong''s ear.


    When Han Yong heard, his face could not help revealing a dubious look as he said, "So simple? Can it work?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "Those who find it hard don''t know, those who know won''t find it hard. This round''s assessment isn''t as difficult as you imagine."


    Han Yong''s face revealed a strange look and could not quite make up his mind for some time.


    At this time, the test was also progressing in an orderly manner.


    But up to this point, not a single person passed yet.


    Some people also did not dare to go all out when they saw those in front getting injured.


    Slam!


    Finally, when more than 40 people took the field, someone sounded the Jadelight Drum for the first time.


    It was just that this sound was as soft as a mosquito''s buzzing. Whether or not it was counted as sounding, was also hard to say.


    "Ding Yuan, tier zero! Pass the test!" At this time, Deacon Hong said in a clear voice.


    Clearly, Deacon Hong could decide the ranks of the people who passed the test through that small flag.


    Tier zero could virtually be ignored.


    But being able to do it to this step was also indeed not easy.


    The people who took part in the test at the back, those who passed also gradually increased. But the vast majority were all tier zero or tier one.


    All the way until the top 100, only then did a tier two disciple appear.

 1794 Drumming Method That Made People Dont Know Whether to Laugh or Cry

    "Zhao Zhao, tier four! Passed the assessment!"


    The moment Deacon Hong''s voice fell, it immediately aroused a wave of exclamations.


    "Zhao Zhao actually reached tier four. Him being called the Devil Elephant lineage''s number one person indeed wasn''t simply boasted out."


    "In comparison, Thundercloud Sect''s Han Yong is much worse."


    "The genius that the Thundercloud Sect nurtured this time is too weak!"


    ...


    The grudges between Celestial Deity level sects were not some secret here.


    Everyone all came from Celestial Deity level sects. Regarding Zhao Zhao and Han Yong''s matters, everyone was very clear.


    Han Yong''s expression was very ugly. He thought that Zhao Zhao would at most be peak tier three. He did not expect that Zhao Zhao actually reached tier four.


    This way, the pressure he was experiencing was very great.


    It did not matter if he lost, but people would say that the Thundercloud Sect was inferior to the Devil Elephant Sect.


    In reality, the two great sects each had their own merits. It was just that the Devil Elephant Sect developed rapidly these few years, and already faintly showed trends of overshadowing the Thundercloud Sect.


    Therefore, Han Yong did not want to lose even more.


    Zhao Zhao landed from midair and deliberately passed by Han Yong and said with a sneer, "Han Yong, I''ve already broken through to tier four. I know that you''re not convinced, so don''t get lower than this!"


    Han Yong''s expression changed and opened his mouth, wanting to refute. But he truly did not have any confidence.


    Putting out the big talk now, if he could not achieve it in a while, that would be even more humiliating.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, "You rest assured, when Brother Han goes up in a while, he''ll only be higher than you and not lower than you."


    The Zhao three brothers and Han Yong were implacable enemies. He came down only because he wanted to show off a bit to Han Yong, so he did not notice that Ye Yuan was actually still here.


    Hearing Ye Yuan speak, Zhao Zhao''s expression could not help changing, his eyes revealing a look of fear.


    "Humph! W-With just the likes of him? Don''t I know how capable he is?" Zhao Zhao raised his neck and forcefully argued.


    He was afraid of Ye Yuan, but it did not mean that he was scared of Han Yong.


    After fighting for a little less than half of their lifetimes, could he still not know Han Yong''s strength?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "What this Jadelight Drum is testing is potential and not strength. Your strength is indeed greater than his, but it doesn''t mean that your potential is greater than his."


    The moment Zhao Zhao heard, he said disdainfully, "Just him? If he can surpass me, I''ll pluck my head off for him to kick as a ball!"


    When Zhao Zhao heard Ye Yuan''s words, his expression could not help but become stifled.


    This was betting with the sect''s reputation, it was not up to him to not be cautious.


    When Ye Yuan saw his appearance, he said coolly, "Looks like you don''t have much confidence in yourself. Therefore, when people haven''t appeared on the stage yet, don''t posture here. There are plenty of people stronger than you!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan stump Zhao Zhao with a few words, Han Yong could not help being greatly excited.


    He naturally knew that he could not beat Zhao Zhao. But being able to make him feel deflated, he was also very happy.


    Zhao Zhao smiled coldly when he heard that and said, "You''re goading me? Do you think that I''d fall for it so easily?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Regardless whether I''m goading or not, you''re a gutless loser! You don''t dare to bet, isn''t it still because you don''t have the confidence? You look, I dare to say that if I lose to you, I''ll commit suicide in front of the Shadowmoon Sect''s mountain gates to atone for my crime! But you, don''t dare!"


    Zhao Zhao''s expression became incomparably ugly. Of course you freaking dared to say so!


    How could a peerless genius who fused spatial law and Sword Dao law possibly lose to him?


    This guy was even stronger than Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin!


    "Hahaha �� You''re indeed a loser, to not even dare to agree to this! If you don''t dare to agree, then scram to one side, don''t be an eyesore here! Is tier four very impressive?" Han Yong also laughed loudly and said.


    Being looked down upon by Ye Yuan, he felt like he had no temper.


    But being despised by Han Yong like this, he could not quite endure it anymore.


    "Han Yong, I dare to bet, then do you dare? If you lose, you''ll also shout Thundercloud Sect is no good three times! Do you have the guts?" Zhao Zhao said with a cold smile.


    Han Yong''s expression choked up when he heard this. It was as if he had his throat clutched.


    When Zhao Zhao saw the situation, he said to Ye Yuan with a cold smile, "See? It''s him who doesn''t have the guts, not that I don''t have the guts!"


    The moment Han Yong heard this, his head heated up. He said, "Compete then, who''s scared of who?"


    Zhao Zhao was startled inwardly, but he thought about it, it was impossible for him to lose to Han Yong. His face could not help turning dark as he said, "Okay, I want to see whether or not you can really turn into a phoenix from a hen! I''m going to make your Thundercloud Sect lose all of its face in front of everyone."


    This matter was settled like this. But Han Yong''s heart was racing.


    He truly did not have much confidence in winning Zhao Zhao.


    "Ye Yuan, you went a bit too overboard! If Han Yong loses, he won''t be able to even lift his head in the Shadowmoon Sect in the future! He''ll become a common target for scorn!" Yang Fan said in a solemn voice.


    Clearly, he was enraged.


    Yang Fan and Han Yong''s relationship was very close. Seeing Ye Yuan incite the wager this time, the fury in his heart blazed.


    If Han Yong lose, the Thundercloud lineage''s people would thoroughly cast him aside, and view him as the sect''s traitor. In the future, he''d be alone and helpless in the Shadowmoon Sect. This was not as simple as yelling three times.


    The future implications were too great.


    Saying something unpleasant, this wager might directly ruin Han Yong''s future.


    Furthermore, Yang Fan really could not see any hopes of victory for Han Yong.


    The method that Ye Yuan said he would teach Han Yong, Yang Fan was very pessimistic about it too.


    If casually teaching could defy the heavens, then wouldn''t the Shadowmoon Sect''s assessment become a joke?


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "You turn it around and think about it. If Han Yong wins, Zhao Zhao and brothers won''t be able to lift their heads in the Shadowmoon Sect in the future."


    Right at this time, a miscellaneous affairs disciple shouted, "Next one, Han Yong!"


    Han Yong''s expression changed, a pair of legs like they grew roots, and actually did not dare to walk out.


    When Zhao Zhao saw this scene, he was even more certain in his heart that Han Yong could not do it!


    Originally, Han Yong was already inferior to him.


    Ye Yuan lightly patted Han Yong''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Remember, use the method that I taught you to drum the drum, you won''t lose."


    Han Yong''s heart was somewhat racing as he said, "This �� Can this really work?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head with an indifferent look.


    Now that it was hard to dismount from a tiger''s back, Han Yong was aware that he had no way out already too. Steeling his heart, he leaped and arrived up in the sky.


    Han Yong suddenly turned around, back facing the Jadelight Drum, his abdomen ballooning more and more.


    When everyone saw this scene, their faces became extremely fascinating.


    Zhao Zhao''s complexion flushed even redder as he let out a big laugh and said, "Hahaha! You''re really killing me with laughter! This guy wouldn''t be thinking of using a fart to sound the Jadelight Drum, right?"


    Baili Qingyan''s face turned red and she could not help turning away.


    Below, waves of ridicules also came over.


    Yang Fan was angered until his expression was livid and he questioned Ye Yuan, "This is the idea that you gave him? You want to make him become the laughingstock of the world?"


    Puuuu ��


    Yang Fan''s voice had yet to face when a loud fart could be heard clearly in the entire plaza.


    However, everyone''s smiles had yet to fade away when an even more resounding drum sound spread out!


    Dong!

 1795 Trampled Flat in One Day

    An earth-shaking drum sound spread out, shocking until everyone''s eardrums hurt.


    Everyone who was still laughing before, after hearing the drum sound, their faces all changed drastically.


    As long as one was not a fool, they would be able to tell that this drum sound was the most sonorous one up to this point!


    Everyone was dumbfounded, no one would have thought that Han Yong''s fart actually struck the Jadelight Drum so resoundingly.


    "Ouch!"


    Han Yong let out a scream and actually could not stand steady, falling down from midair.


    But he did not feel pain. Scrambling to his feet, his face appeared flushed because of excitement.


    He ran in front of Ye Yuan and said with an excited face, "It was actually really useful! You didn''t bluff me!"


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly when he heard this, and he said, "Turns out that you felt that I was bluffing you all along!"


    Han Yong choked and said embarrassedly, "I didn''t mean that."


    "Huhu, suspicion is also normal. After all, this method is rather fantastical," Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    By the side, Yang Fan was shocked until he did not speak until now. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of incredulity.


    This guy''s pointer was actually really useful!


    Deacon Hong looked at this scene with a stunned look. This was still his first time seeing someone use this kind of utterly absurd method to pass the assessment.


    "Han Yong, tier five! Passed the test!"


    These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing onto Zhao Zhao''s heart.


    He gritted his teeth and said in a clear voice, "Deacon Hong, I �� I''m unconvinced! How can he be considered to have passed the assessment like this?"


    Deacon Hong''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Are you questioning this old man?"


    Zhao Zhao was startled inwardly, but he defended himself strongly through sophistry and said, "Deacon Hong, if letting out a fart can pass the test, then wouldn''t our Shadowmoon Sect become the laughingstock of the world?"


    Deacon Hong frowned and said, "Passed means passed, the Jadelight Drum won''t deceive people! Keep on being long-winded and I''ll revoke your qualifications!"


    Zhao Zhao''s face changed, how could he still dare to say anymore.


    Han Yong said with a smug look, "Zhao Zhao, weren''t you very proud of yourself earlier? Didn''t you say that I can''t possibly surpass you? Heh heh, now, admit defeat!"


    Zhao Zhao''s expression was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "You beat the drum with such a ludicrous method, to actually still have the nerve to mention the wager?"


    Han Yong seemed to have long predicted his attitude and said with a sneer, "Something that even Deacon Hong has confirmed isn''t up to you to deny! Whether or not I pass the test, that small flag can naturally ascertain it! Hence, are you going to go back on your words now?"


    Quite a few people around all cast strange gazes, all looking at Zhao Zhao with disdainful looks.


    The two of them wagering, that was witnessed by many people.


    Now, Zhao Zhao was actually going to go back on his word.


    Zhao Zhao gritted his teeth and said furiously, "I''m reneging, so what can you do to me?"


    But Han Yong smiled and said, "What can I do to you? Heh heh, everyone saw it, the people that come from the Devil Elephant Sect don''t keep their words. No strength and he still dared to bet with me, he loses and doesn''t acknowledge his debt! Such a sect is truly laughable!"


    "This Zhao Zhao, I didn''t expect that he''s so shameless!"


    "The Devil Elephant Sect''s face is utterly lost by him."


    "Heh, lost and doesn''t admit it, who would still dare to walk close with such a person in the future?"


    ...


    Han Yong''s words immediately aroused a wave of contempt.


    Zhao Zhao''s expression was ugly to the extreme. He currently found it hard to dismount the tiger after getting on its back. Whether or not he admitted it, the sect''s reputation was ruined by him.


    Just as he was at a loss on what to do, a figure suddenly flashed past.


    Slap!


    A resounding slap landed on Zhao Zhao''s face.


    Song Ting looked at Zhao Zhao with a grim expression and said furiously, "You fool, are you nuts? To actually dare agree to such a wager!"


    Zhao Zhao was full of grievances in his heart. How could he know that Han Yong actually used a fart and surpassed him?


    "I ��"


    Zhao Zhao was just about to defend himself with sophistry, but heard Song Ting said icily, "You what you? From now on, you''re not my Devil Elephant lineage''s member anymore!"


    Zhao Zhao''s expression changed and he said in a panic, "This �� How can this be?"


    Once rejected by the Devil Elephant lineage, he would not be able to get protection within the Shadowmoon Sect in the future.


    Inside this sect where geniuses were abundant like clouds, it was very hard for him to gain a foothold.


    Song Ting sneered and said, "Otherwise, how do you want to resolve this matter?"


    Zhao Zhao choked the moment he heard this. It seemed like this was the best way to resolve the problem.


    Zhao Zhao''s expression was ashen. He suddenly discovered that his future became gloomy.


    And the prime culprit was actually a wager!


    The wager that was originally in the bag, in the end, he actually lost!


    Han Yong watched the show by the side, enjoying it thoroughly.


    For so many years, Zhao Zhao had always suppressed him, making him virtually unable to catch his breath.


    Did not expect that he only used one opportunity and thoroughly brought this fellow down.


    Without the Devil Elephant lineage as the patron, the Zhao three brothers would die very horribly.


    Just like the words Jiang Xueyan said when she warned Ye Yuan, even Ye Yuan''s talent could not stand firm, let alone a measly little Zhao Zhao.


    At this time, Han Yong was jubilant in his heart. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was also filled with gratitude.


    Actually, the thing that Ye Yuan taught him was very simple, it was to let him continuously perform great circulatory cycles within his body with world power, finally sinking it inside the Dantian.


    When it accumulated to the limits of the body, then let it out in one go.


    Although Han Yong did not understand why, very clearly, he did it.


    At the thought that he suspected Ye Yuan previously, he would feel very ashamed.


    Ye Yuan was intentionally helping him get rid of Zhao Zhao here, but he doubted Ye Yuan''s intentions.


    Yang Fan suddenly opened his mouth and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I apologize to you!"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "You were worried about your bro, that''s why you did that. Would I fail to make a distinction between right and wrong? There''s no need for this apology."


    Yang Fan looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, secretly alarmed in his heart.


    This kid''s heart was clear as a mirror!


    "Ye Yuan, I discovered that when Zhao Zhao was talking to you previously, he seemed to be particularly scared of you?"


    Yang Fan found it weird just now, when Zhao Zhao was facing Ye Yuan, he became like a different person from before, as if Ye Yuan was a dreadful monster.


    This feeling made him feel very preposterous.


    Even though Ye Yuan broke through, Zhao Zhao should not reach the extent of being afraid, right?


    "That guy was taught a fierce lesson by me and Baili Qingyan in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range, that''s why he''s like this," Ye Yuan said ambiguously.


    Yang Fan felt enlightened in his heart. But Ye Yuan''s words made him feel even more puzzled.


    Could it be that there was really some unclear and unknown relationship between Ye Yuan and Baili Qingyan?


    The assessment continued, the people remaining were all strong players. Quite a number of tier three and tier four figures appeared.


    It was just that there was not even a single tier five.


    Only all the way until Duan Qinghong made a move did he firmly take tier five.


    Zhong Hanlin and Duan Qinghong were almost on par, similarly the standard of tier five.


    This way, Han Yong was actually ranked at third place thus far. This was what everyone never thought of.


    "Next, Ye Yuan!"


    It was Ye Yuan''s turn, but he did not move and said to Deacon Hong with clasped hands, "Deacon Hong, can this disciple request to be the last to be tested?"

 1796 Sudden Drumbea

    "Heh, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Who does he think he is?"


    Ye Yuan''s request immediately caused a series of boos.


    What the finale represented was strength and status. Ye Yuan was a freeloader in everyone''s eyes, what right did he have to be the finale?


    Jiang Xueyan''s brows furrowed when she heard that and said, "What does this guy want to do? He''s using this method in order to fight for vindication? This kid is also too childish, right?"


    Baili Qingyan was similarly at a loss, not knowing what Ye Yuan was doing here.


    Deacon Hong frowned slightly and said, "You and Baili lass are tied for first place, as long as she has no objections, there''s no problem."


    Finished talking, everyone''s gazes looked over toward Baili Qingyan.


    Jiang Xueyan was just about to speak when Baili Qingyan agreed without hesitation, "No problem, I''ll go first!"


    Jiang Xueyan stomped her feet angrily, secretly thinking that this girl was so worrying.


    Was this the time to yield out of courtesy?


    Baili Qingyan took a stop out, arrived high up in the air, akin to a fairy maiden descending upon the mortal world, her beauty transcendent.


    The disciples below all revealed worshiping looks.


    Baili Qingyan gave Ye Yuan a glance with a complicated expression but discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at her with a smile, involuntarily making her stupefied.


    What medicine was this fellow selling in his gourd?


    This scene was another flavor when it landed in everyone''s eyes.


    Baili Qingyan collected her mind, divine essence surging on her body. Suddenly, she cast out a silk ribbon, which flew over toward the Jadelight Drum like lightning.


    Dong!


    Thus far, the most sonorous drumbeat spread out.


    The shockwave coming of the Jadelight Drum rippled out like breaking a dead branch from a tree, leveling the trees in the several mile radius to the ground.


    Seeing such a shocking commotion, everyone''s countenance also changed visibly.


    This strength was even above Duan Qinghong two people!


    Deacon Hong''s face revealed a look of approval as he said with a nod, "Not bad! Not bad! Baili Qingyan, high-grade tier six! Passed the test!"


    Jiang Xueyan''s face revealed a relieved smile. With this, their Immortal Abode Sect suppressed the other two lineages until they could not even lift their heads anymore.


    Furthermore, Baili Qingyan''s performance also provided powerful proof for her breathtaking first round!


    Now, who would still suspect that was not done by Baili Qingyan?


    Most likely, even Duan Qinghong they all also would not suspect it, right?


    Her gaze looked over toward Ye Yuan away, and she could not help sneering.


    Although she witnessed Ye Yuan''s powerful strength, Jiang Xueyan was not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    She, as the Shadowmoon Sect''s disciple, naturally knew the Jadelight Drum''s power.


    The higher the realm, the deeper the comprehensions toward Dao, and the louder the drumming would be too.


    Although Ye Yuan''s attack power was high, his realm was too low!


    If he used full strength to attack the Jadelight Drum, he would only suffer an even stronger countershock force!


    Hence, Baili Qingyan''s first place was already locked in.


    Ye Yuan wanting to be the finale, this action was merely the laughable dignity of a man.


    Baili Qingyan''s performance made everyone marvel with admiration, and also made Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    They had always been pursuing Baili Qingyan previously. But her potential was more than a level stronger than theirs!


    Baili Qingyan said to Deacon Hong with clasped hands, "Thank you, Deacon Hong!"


    Deacon Hong nodded his head as he smiled and said, "Baili lass is indeed pretty good! High-grade tier six, among all of the former seasons'' assessments, it also ranks among the best. It''s just a pity that it missed by a step and didn''t break through to tier seven."


    Baili Qingyan said, "Qingyang will cultivate even harder in the future and won''t let the sect down!"


    Deacon Hong smiled and said, "Mn, cultivate well! The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time, hope that you can have a place!"


    Baili Qingyan nodded slightly and floated down.


    Jiang Xueyan went up to welcome with a smile and said, "Baili, you indeed didn''t disappoint me!"


    But Baili Qingyan''s attitude was somewhat cold as she said coolly, "Senior Apprentice Sister, there''s still someone who hasn''t taken the stage, don''t be happy too early."


    But Jiang Xueyan said without a care, "Although that kid''s talent is high, his realm is too low after all! Even if he''s stronger than Duan Qinghong they all, it''s also impossible to surpass you!"


    Baili Qingyan shook her head slightly but did not dispute.


    She kept feeling that Ye Yuan doing this had a deep meaning.


    Most likely, it would not be that simple.


    Furthermore, it was clearly impossible for Han Yong to surpass Zhao Zhao, but he broke through to tier five.


    And Han Yong''s relationship with Ye Yuan was very good. Could this just be a coincidence?


    "Last one, Ye Yuan!"


    After repeated calls, it was finally Ye Yuan''s turn to appear on the stage.


    However, he did not come out yet and there was another wave of booing.


    Clearly, everyone was very disdainful of his finale that overestimated his own ability.


    "This guy is really utterly without shame, this bit of strength also dare to snatch the finale!"


    "Heh, Miss Baili is magnanimous and doesn''t haggle over it with him. This guy even went from bad to worse."


    "Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, don''t even know whether or not he can make it sound and he dares to snatch the position of the finale."


    ...


    Originally, Baili Qingyan was a genius at the same level as Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin in everyone''s eyes.


    But now, Baili Qingyan''s status in their minds already far surpassed those two people.


    The present Baili Qingyan outshone the others.


    Coupled with that kingdom-toppling looks of hers, she already became the goddess in everyone''s hearts.


    A goddess that could not be profaned!


    But Ye Yuan this guy actually dared to blaspheme the goddess and snatch her finale position.


    Towards these questioning voices, Ye Yuan naturally paid no attention to it.


    He slowly walked out of the crowd but did not fly up high to the sky.


    Then, he just flicked lightly, carrying a light breeze, blowing towards the Jadelight Drum.


    This movement was like brushing off dust; relaxed and natural.


    It was just that this action made everyone feel very perplexed.


    Even Deacon Hong''s face revealed a very doubtful look.


    "What is this guy doing again? Have to admit, he really knows how to gain notoriety by doing something sensational!"


    "What he did just now is already beating the drum?"


    "No divine essence undulation at all! This guy knows that he''s going to reveal his true colors and gave up?"


    ...


    Dong!


    Just as the ridiculing voices grew higher than the previous wave, an earth-shattering drumbeat sounded out, overshadowing all of the sounds all at once.


    In the entire world, only the Jadelight Drum''s drumbeat was reverberating.


    The faces of everyone present all changed visibly.


    The sound of this drum was actually identical to Baili Qingyan''s!


    That power plowed once more within the radius of several miles!


    Everyone all used incomparably horrified gazes to look at Ye Yuan. But even more were confused faces.


    Was this drumbeat just now really done by Ye Yuan?


    But how could that kind of casual and light action cause such a big commotion?

 1797 Old Youth

    Because no one could have thought that Ye Yuan could actually accomplish exactly the same as Baili Qingyan!


    Among them included Jiang Xueyan and Duan Qinghong they all.


    Deacon Hong''s pupils constricted as if understanding something.


    "Ye Yuan, high-grade tier six! Passed the test!"


    He looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing a gratified look.


    Deacon Hong thought in his heart, this child is different from the others and already saw through the Jadelight Drum''s reality, simplifying things by cutting out the superfluous, triggering the resonance of the Jadelight Drum with the power of Great Dao! It looked casual, but it''s actually no idea how many times more profound than others! Other people saw a hundred steps away, but he already saw a thousand steps away! Except, it looked like he still held back somewhat, but don''t know why is that.


    With Ye Yuan not displaying his full strength, he was unable to judge Ye Yuan''s limits.


    But without a doubt, Ye Yuan was a genius too!


    At least, he was not beneath Baili Qingyan.


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan was just a supporting character who only worked his way to first place by following Baili Qingyan.


    Looking at it now, it was ridiculously wrong!


    "S-So incredible!" Han Yong said in shock.


    Although after he reached tier five, he had long changed his views on Ye Yuan.


    When he saw Ye Yuan reach high-grade tier six effortlessly, standing shoulder to shoulder with Baili Qingyan, he was still extremely shocked.


    Yang Fan had a strange look. He previously still thought that Ye Yuan boasted without coming up with a draft and that his behavior was flashy with substance, and could not get close with.


    Looking at it now, he was really blind.


    Ye Yuan saying that it was a breeze for him to pass the assessment, it was really accomplished with the greatest of ease!


    Too effortless!


    A casual flick and it was high-grade tier six, too relaxed and casual.


    Ye Yuan slowly turned around and looked over in Jiang Xueyan''s direction with a profound meaning.


    Jiang Xueyan''s entire body turned stiff and was actually floored by Ye Yuan''s imposing momentum!


    Jiang Xueyan''s face felt fiery hot.


    Ye Yuan used this light flick and gave her an incomparably resounding slap.


    A moron could also tell that Ye Yuan seemed to have plenty left in the tank!


    But he got a high-grade tier six.


    This move of Ye Yuan''s had a deep meaning!


    Firstly, Ye Yuan helped Baili Qingyan achieve the title of first place, repaying Baili Qingyan''s friendship and loyalty.


    Secondly, Ye Yuan used this flick to tell everyone that he, Ye Yuan, did not rely on Baili Qingyan to get first place. He was very strong!


    This was a blatant declaration of war!


    "The entrance examination ends here, you all will be my Shadowmoon Sect''s disciples starting from now! No matter which sect or faction you all belong to in the past, now, you all only have one identity, that is the Shadowmoon Sect''s disciples! Entering my sect, everything will be the sect''s interests as the top priority! If there''s any act of betraying the sect, kill without amnesty! Now, you all ascend from the mountain gate, there will naturally be someone to fetch you all in!"


    Deacon Hong''s voice reverberated in front of the mountain gate.


    The disciples all had fearful expressions, clearly frightened by Deacon Hong''s words.


    Ye Yuan was very indifferent and did not have any surprised look.


    The Shadowmoon Sect seemed to have many factions, the forces intricate and complicated.


    Actually, that was just tacit allowed by the sect in order to increase the competition between disciples and accelerate their strength increase.


    But, if someone jeopardized the sect''s interests, the sect would definitely annihilate them at all costs.


    The Shadowmoon Sect would not nurture geniuses for other sects.


    There were 43 inner-disciples who passed the examination at the end, and 102 miscellaneous affairs disciples. These people officially entered the sect under Qian Ye''s lead.


    ...


    The Shadowmoon Sect''s main peak towered into the clouds, unable to see any end in sight.


    Ye Yuan climbed up the steps along with the crowd, as if arriving at a fairyland.


    And the spiritual energy thickness also became increasingly stronger as the height of the mountain got taller.


    Just the spiritual energy concentration at the halfway point was already god knows how many times stronger than ordinary high-order imperial cities.


    The Shadowmoon Sect had a main peak and nine sub-peaks, presenting the appearance of nine stars twinkling around the moon. All were majestic and grand.


    Ye Yuan could feel that this place was absolutely a rich land that fostered great talents.


    The nine sub-peaks were under the charge of the nine great skill-imparting elders. Disciples who entered the sect all have to be assigned under the name of a skill-imparting elder.


    Of course, it was just belonging under them.


    Skill-imparting elders were all True God level existences, ordinary disciples could not see them at all.


    However, each skill-imparting elder had a rank six cultivation method in their possession.


    If one could stand out in their performance, they could become the skill-imparting elder''s personal disciple.


    At that time, they would be able to learn a True God level cultivation method and martial techniques.


    This was what all of the disciples dreamed of.


    Of course, in a large True God level sect, disciples ranging in the tens of missions, wanting to become a personal disciple, that was doubly difficult.


    "This is your identity token! Kid, I have to admire you. Before even entering the sect, you already offended the three great factions and our Devil Elephant lineage. Do you know how many elders and deacons the Shadowmoon Sect has that all come from these three major factions?"


    Song Ting threw the identity token to Ye Yuan and scoffed with a look of amusement.


    Ye Yuan received the token and discovered that ''Tianying'' two words were written on the back. Presumably, he was assigned to Tianying Peak.


    According to Han Yong, Tianying Peak was the weakest sub-peak. The strengths of the disciples were the weakest, resources were the most deficient, and cultivation method and martial techniques were the most scarce.


    Looks like he was indeed targeted!


    Shadowmoon Sect did not lack geniuses. His performance was also not stunning enough in order to help Baili Qingyan achieve her aim and was unable to catch the sect''s attention. This was also what Ye Yuan had expected.


    It was just that being assigned to whichever sub-peak did not make much difference to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan put away the token and said coolly, "What has that got to do with me? Only second-rate disciples like you will be interested in this sort of thing, right?"


    "Second-rate? Heh, you actually said that the Tianzhu Peak''s disciples are second-rate?"


    Song Ting deliberately said it very loudly, the surroundings immediately cast a series of unfriendly gazes.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "What I said was that you are doing this kind of welcoming new disciples thing, you''re definitely a second-rate minor character in the sect. Don''t you say so �� Senior Apprentice Brother Song? You''re not young anymore as well, but you can''t even break through to the Celestial Deity Realm and are still just an outer-disciple. I didn''t say that Tianzhu Peak is second-rate, I mean that you disgrace Tianzhu Peak!"


    The more Ye Yuan said, the uglier Song Ting''s expression became.


    Those unfriendly gazes also immediately became amused.


    Calculating it, Song Ting was indeed an ''old youth'' already.


    With his talents, even if he broke through to Celestial Deity Realm, it was very hard to promote to an inner-disciple too.


    Ye Yuan''s words poked Song Ting''s sore spot.


    Ye Yuan being assigned to Tianying Peak, he originally came deliberately to give Ye Yuan a blow, and regain face in the passing.


    He did not expect that he suffered a huge loss of face.


    This kid''s mouth was so venomous!


    "Brat, you just be smug! Being remembered by the three great factions at the same time, I hope that you can live for a month!" Song Ting gritted his teeth and said with a grim expression.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "No need for Senior Apprentice Brother Song to worry. I''ll live very well."

 1798 Abode Gone

    Compared to the main peak''s splendor, this place was clearly much shabbier.


    "Ye Yuan, I really feel unfair for you! With your talent, you should at least be on the top three sub-peaks. That bunch of fellows abuses their power to bully people and actually relegated you to Tianying Peak." Beside Ye Yuan, a short and skinny young man said with an indignant look.


    This young man was called Ceng You, he came from an unknown small sect.


    His strength was not bad, peak Seventh Firmament Divine Lord. During the second round''s assessment, he even reached tier two.


    Among the disciples that came out of small sects, he was already a dragon among men.


    Logically speaking, he should not have been relegated to Tianying Peak, but he became the only inner-disciple sent to Tianying Peak.


    The other 41 people were all relegated to the other eight sub-peaks.


    Regarding this kind of unfair treatment, Ceng You was naturally unhappy about it in his heart.


    However, Ceng You admired Ye Yuan greatly. That simple and casual flick shocked him deeply.


    Similarly coming from a small sect, Ye Yuan''s potential was clearly much stronger than him.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If it''s gold, it will shine anywhere. I heard that Tianying Peak''s skill-imparting elder came from a small sect. But didn''t he also enter the ranks of True God Realm, becoming the ruler of a region?"


    Ceng You smiled bitterly when he heard it and said, "Even so, Tianying Peak is still the most rundown sub-peak, ostracized by the other eight peaks!"


    In the Shadowmoon Sect, Tianying Peak could be said to be a land of exile. No one was willing to come to this place.


    Those who came here were mostly not wanted or disciples without factions.


    And arriving here was also basically equivalent to having one''s future cut off. It would be very hard to have great accomplishments again.


    Ye Yuan patted Ceng You''s shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, upon entering the Shadowmoon Sect, you already forgot who you are!"


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan walked over toward Tianying Hall.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, Ceng You''s entire body trembled.


    Yeah, his sect was just an unremarkable Divine Lord level sect, deficient of resources, and severely lacking cultivation methods.


    But he relied on his own efforts and walked until today step by step.


    He thought that entering the Shadowmoon Sect, with his talent, he would be able to soar to the heavens in one bound.


    But the current situation was too far from what he imagined.


    So he felt indignant, felt wronged, felt that the future was bleak and dark.


    Hence, what was he still not satisfied with?


    As long as he took out his past efforts, he would be able to stand out among his peers one day, and viciously slap those snobs.


    To martial artists, while resources were important, what was more important was to have an unyielding heart that sought Dao.


    Losing one''s true self, then the future would really be bleak.


    "Rousing the dreamer from his sleep with a word! Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s back view, Ceng You''s gaze became determined once more, just as before.


    ...


    "Senior Apprentice Brother, we''re new disciples here to receive cultivation abodes. This is my identity token."


    Shadowmoon Sect was established on a spiritual vein. The sect opened up many abodes on each sub-peak and laid down array formations, providing for disciples to cultivate.


    The better the aptitude of the disciple, the better the cultivation abode they would get, and the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be as well.


    Tianying Peak was where the spiritual vein was the thinnest among the nine sub-peaks. The spiritual energy was naturally also the thinnest.


    That disciple took a look at the two people''s identity tokens, his brows involuntarily raising up, and he threw the tokens on the table with a thud as he said lazily, "You''re called Ceng You, right? Tianying Peak still has one last low-grade level two abode. This is the abode''s token, go on."


    Ceng You put away the token and said joyfully, "Thank you, Senior Apprentice Brother! Senior Apprentice Brother, then what about Ye Yuan?"


    That disciple raised his eyelids and said with a fake smile, "Him? That was Tianying Peak''s last abode already. This junior apprentice brother will have to be inconvenienced and go to other stray peaks to open up an abode yourself."


    As he said, he took out an array flag and placed it in front of Ye Yuan with a smile and said, "This is the Spirit Gathering Formation''s array flag, you go to Firecloud Peak right now. As long as you find the eye of the spiritual vein there and open up an abode, then deploy the array flag, it will naturally be able to gather spiritual energy and become your own abode."


    Ceng You''s expression changed when he heard that and said, "How can it be so coincidental? Senior Apprentice Brother, I heard that opening up an abode is very dangerous. That place is all desolate mountain peaks, fierce beasts everywhere. Quite a few disciples have been buried there!"


    That disciple''s gaze turned cold and he said, "Dangerous? Opening up an abode is dangerous? This main peak, nine sub-peaks, several hundred stray peaks, which one wasn''t opened up by Shadowmoon Sect disciples? Why is there an exception when it comes to him?"


    Ceng You had just received Ye Yuan''s pointers and was endlessly grateful toward Ye Yuan. He could not bear to see Ye Yuan take the risk and could not refrain from saying, "Senior Apprentice Brother, why don''t you take a look again. Perhaps there are still vacant abodes on the stray peaks in this vicinity?"


    The moment that disciple heard, he said in a great rage, "Insolence! Ask you to go where, that''s where you go, what''s with all the crap? I said don''t have means don''t have, could it be that �� you want to replace me on duty?"


    Ceng You was merely a newcomer, how could he dare to argue? He said with a guilty conscience, "D-Dare not! Senior Apprentice Brother, how about this, give my abode to Ye Yuan, I''ll go open up an abode!"


    That disciple''s face fell and he was just about to fly off the handle but heard Ye Yuan pick up the array flag and say coolly, "Alright, don''t need to be long-winded anymore. This guy has clearly been bribed by people already, deliberately making me go to Firecloud Peak to open up an abode, then get killed by fierce beasts. You''re just looking for a rebuff by telling him these."


    Ceng You''s face changed, only then, coming to a realization.


    That disciple''s expression similarly changed and he said in a cold voice, "Punk, you dare to talk to your senior brother like this?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance scornfully and said coolly, "You already want to kill me, so could it be that I still have to speak to you politely? Moreover �� who the hell do you think you are, to be fit to be called as my senior brother?"


    That disciple assigning abodes was merely a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, so Ye Yuan did not take him seriously yet.


    That disciple''s expression turned cold and he said with a cold smile, "Very well, looks like it''s a very proud newcomer! Then I''ll let you take a look at whether I''m fit to be your senior brother or not!"


    Within the radius of Shadowmoon Sect''s main peak and sub-peaks, it was forbidden for disciples to kill one another.


    But with a valid reason, taking action against a disciple for a bit was no issue.


    That disciple saw that Ye Yuan was merely Sixth Firmament Divine Lord and actually dared to be insolent in front of him. So he was also genuinely angered.


    No wonder Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye wanted to teach this guy a lesson, looks like this punk was used to being condescending.


    While talking, that disciple''s Ninth Firmament Divine Lord aura suddenly released. A slap smacked over toward Ye Yuan''s face as quick as lightning.


    "Ye Yuan, be careful!"


    Ceng You did not think that this guy would attack the moment he said so. It was already too late to want to stop it.


    The other party was Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, his strength was more than a level stronger than him.


    Slap!


    An incomparably resounding slap transmitted over. That disciple was directly slapped flying out.

 1799 Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye

    Even though there were only a few disciples in the hall, this scene still made them extremely shocked.


    That disciple held his face, his teeth already knocked out. Looking at Ye Yuan, his eyes were full of fear.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with an indifferent look, "Those people got you to do things, didn''t they tell you not to provoke me? You''re the disciple assigning abodes and have the authority to assign where disciples go. I originally didn''t plan on refusing either, yet, you were looking for a beating yourself. Then I can''t be blamed."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took the array flag, turned around, and was about to leave.


    "Wait a minute! Ye Yuan, I''ll go together with you!" Ceng You suddenly said.


    He turned to that disciple and said, "That whatever dog-fart abode, I don''t want it anymore! You give me an array flag! I''ll go to Firecloud Peak too!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and said, "They are making me go to Firecloud Peak because that place is definitely very dangerous. You have no need to take the risk with me."


    But Ceng You had a calm look and said smilingly, "My strength is inferior to yours, but it''s more or less an assistance! Moreover, opening up an abode, I''ll just take it as a trial!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he understood in his heart.


    Ceng You was a smart man too. He gave a pointer or two and he already found his original heart.


    Cultivating was sailing against the current to begin with. If this Ceng You thought that he soared to the heavens in one bound after entering the Shadowmoon Sect, that would be wasting his talents.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Let''s go together then."


    Looking at the two people''s departing back view, that disciple had a venomous look on his face.


    "Heh, the Firecloud Peak is a desolate land with countless rank four fierce beasts. There are even quite a few rank five existence. There are already no fewer than several dozen people among the disciples who wanted to open up an abode. I don''t believe that you guys can still return!"


    ...


    On Firecloud Peak, it was indeed desolate and bleak, with traces of fierce beasts everywhere.


    The powerful undulations coming from the surroundings made Ceng You''s complexion somewhat pale.


    "Ye Yuan, this Firecloud Peak is truly riddled with perils. Those guys really want your life!"


    Ceng You immediately understood those people''s intentions after arriving at Firecloud Peak.


    He vaguely knew that Ye Yuan had conflicts with the three major factions, but he did not expect that those people were actually so vicious.


    Ceng You''s expression turned austere. He discovered that he was too far apart from Ye Yuan in terms of heart realm.


    Under Ye Yuan''s influence, Ceng You''s mind also gradually settled down.


    "What should we do now?" Ceng You asked.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Familiarize ourselves with the environment first. Let''s walk toward the place with the richest spiritual energy. Since it''s an undeveloped stray peak, then we naturally have to choose the best eye of the spiritual vein."


    Ceng You nodded and said, "The spiritual energy in the south-west direction seems to be rather thick. Let''s go over and take a look?"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and headed in the south-west direction together with Ceng You.


    Along the way, the astonishment in Ceng You''s heart grew more and more.


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed made him dare not to look straight at him.


    Those ordinary rank four fierce beasts could not take a single blow at all in front of him.


    Even the late-stage rank four fierce beasts comparable to Eighth Firmament Divine Lords were also not enemies that could last one exchange with Ye Yuan.


    Only those peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts could tussle with Ye Yuan for a while.


    But in the end, they still could not escape the fate of being slaughtered.


    After separating from Baili Qingyan, Ye Yuan tempered himself in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range. Presently, his realm already thoroughly consolidated, his strength improving further as well.


    Ceng You originally thought that Ye Yuan being able to smack a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord flying with one slap more or less had some elements of luck involved.


    Only now did he know that that Ninth Firmament Divine Lord was too weak!


    That Ninth Firmament Divine Lord was completely too weak to stand up to competition compared to these peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts.


    And these peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts were similarly finished off in one blow in front of Ye Yuan.


    With one comparison, the level was immediately established.


    Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Ceng You''s mind. Recalling the scene of the entrance examination, his eyes revealed deep shock.


    Everyone was mocking Ye Yuan, thinking that Ye Yuan only got first place by being stained with Baili Qingyan''s light.


    Looking at it now, it was simply Baili Qingyan getting stained by Ye Yuan''s light!


    Ceng You naturally knew Baili Qingyan''s prowess. But he believed that no matter how formidable Baili Qingyan was, it also would not be so effortless when facing peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts.


    During these past few days, he personally saw Ye Yuan slay three peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts alone.


    This kind of combat power already exceeded the scope of a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord!


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was the number one person in the entrance examination this time!


    And this glory was shamelessly usurped by the Immortal Abode Sect and Baili Qingyan.


    But, why didn''t Ye Yuan contend?


    Ceng You''s mind revolved like lightning, thinking of many things in an instant.


    "Eh, the spiritual energy in front seems to be somewhat different," Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Ceng You said in surprise, "Different?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "The spiritual energy here should be the thickest place in the entire Firecloud Peak already. But in that area, spiritual energy is extremely thin."


    Ceng You was startled and said, "Such a great distance, you can feel it?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Let''s go over and take a look. There might be an unexpected find."


    The two people gradually approached. Sure enough, Ceng You discovered that the spiritual energy seemed to have disappeared all at once, suddenly becoming much thinner.


    "What''s going on here? Logically speaking, this position should be the eye of the spiritual vein. Why is the spiritual energy so thin?" Ceng You said with a frown.


    He did not notice that Ye Yuan''s gaze gradually became bright.


    "Heh, don''t know if it''s the Cloudsword lineage or Soaring Flower lineage, they really gave us a big gift!" Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    Ceng You felt puzzled and said, "A big gift? The spiritual energy here is so thin, why would it be a big gift?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Have you heard before of Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye?"


    Ceng You''s entire body trembled when he heard that and said in panic, "You �� You''re talking about the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye whose spiritual energy thickness is even above level nine!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s right!"


    In a spiritual vein, there were numerous spiritual vein eyes.


    They were divided into a total of nine levels according to the concentration of spiritual energy.


    But above level nine, there were still some extremely hard to come across spiritual vein terrains. Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye was one of them.


    These spiritual vein eyes required an extremely complex environment before it could form. Furthermore, it was very hard to identify.


    Even if ordinary saw it, they might not be able to recognize it too.


    Of course, this could not stump Dustless.


    "Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye has the spiritual energy''s eruption obstructed by a special terrain. In the course of time, it will produce extremely thick spiritual energy. Once opened, the spiritual energy concentration would be far above level nine. Heh heh, don''t you think we picked up a great bargain?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Encountering an Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye, he was very delighted too.


    He was currently very eager to increase his strength too. Being able to encounter this kind of Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye would hasten his cultivation speed ten times over. His luck was really not the ordinary kind of good.

 1800 Enough to Guard the Door

    When Ye Yuan laid down the last divine essence stone, the originally thin spiritual energy suddenly spewed out frenziedly like a volcanic eruption.


    That violent spiritual energy was akin to materializing; visible to the naked eye.


    Ceng You''s face revealed a look of wild elation as he said with a big laugh, "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, this time, it''s really all thanks to you! I didn''t expect that we actually ran into an Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye. Under such berserk spiritual energy, me breaking through to become an Eighth Firmament Divine Lord is also a matter of within these few days!"


    He originally felt that Ye Yuan coming to open up an abode was too dangerous. That was why he came to help.


    In the end, he did not help much and got a great bargain for nothing.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "With this spiritual energy''s concentration, our cultivation shouldn''t have any worries within a thousand years. However, we have to cover up the eruption of spiritual energy here. Otherwise, it will definitely attract the coveting of observant people."


    Ceng You deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, "What you said is right! But wanting to block such berserk spiritual energy is probably not easy!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and started bustling around again.


    After several hours, the spiritual energy in this place returned to tranquility. On the surface, it did not look any different from the other places again.


    But under the tranquility, that turbulent and surging spiritual energy made each of their pores relax and open up.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s bustling figure, the shock in Ceng You''s heart grew stronger.


    This guy was simply unfathomable!


    The two people were currently busying about when Ceng You suddenly felt his heart palpitate.


    Several horrifying auras suddenly appeared from all directions.


    Following that, three fierce beasts with different forms slowly walked out of the dense woods from three directions.


    A deer-form fierce beast said in human language, "Heh, didn''t expect that there''s actually a spiritual eye with such thick spiritual energy on this Firecloud Peak!"


    Very clearly, these three fierce beasts had already unlocked spiritual wisdom.


    "Ye Yuan! This �� Three rank five fierce beasts!"


    Ceng You instantly turned deathly pale. The joy of encountering the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye immediately evaporated into thin air.


    Ye Yuan was still busying about with his own things and did not seem to have the intention of paying attention to these three fierce beasts at all.


    A wild boar similarly spoke in the human tongue, "Kid, in order to reward you, your Grandpa Pig will personally eat you!"


    Another giant bear said, "Damn fat pig, old deer, this place has nothing to do with you, get further away!"


    The three fierce beasts did not place Ye Yuan and Ceng You in their sights at all, as if this place was already their territory.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly stood up and said with a look of relief, "Finally done with it!"


    That giant bear said, "Heh heh, this kid has some capability, to actually completely conceal this spiritual eye. Completely can''t see anything strange from the outside. Alright, kid, quickly run. Grandpa Bear gives you ten breaths of time. If you can escape, that''s your life being tenacious."


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said with Ceng You with a smile, "The remaining is opening up the abode. Stop stoning, quickly get to work."


    Ceng You was about to go crazy. How could this guy''s nerves be so thick? Didn''t you see that rank five fierce beasts talking to you?


    That old deer laughed loudly as he said, "Hahaha, damn black bear, you are being ignored by a rank four punk, truly disgraceful!"


    The giant bear was angered when he heard that and said, "Brat, Grandpa Bear is talking to you. Did you hear me?"


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "Damn black bear, you were talking to me?"


    The giant bear had black lines on its head. This kid completely did not know what being scared was!


    "Damn brat, to dare make fun of your Grandpa Bear, be careful that Grandpa Bear smacks you into mush with one smack!" The giant bear was greatly enraged and slowly raised its enormous bear claws, assuming a posture of smacking toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The three of you guys took a liking to the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye? If you guys want to cultivate here, can as well, but you have to protect the abode well for me. Otherwise, I''ll kick you all out."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the three fierce bests thoroughly dumbfounded.


    Ceng You listened until his scalp tingled. Ye Yuan was crazy, right? To actually provoke three great rank five fierce beasts!


    "Hahaha, this brat actually wants us to guard his door! Looks like he''s really a fool! Grandpa Bear will send you on your way!"


    The giant bear laughed loudly, smacking a slap toward Ye Yuan.


    This slap was truly daunting to the extreme.


    The might of the Celestial Deity Realm could not be stopped!


    But right at this time, an incomparably cold aura suddenly appeared.


    The moment this aura appeared, it was actually even stronger than the giant bear''s palm!


    Bang!


    The giant bear''s large body was directly sent flying out.


    When the other two fierce beasts saw this scene, their eyes were full of astonishment.


    How could they have thought that Ye Yuan actually still had such a powerful evil spirit following around him?


    Ceng You looked at that evil spirit, a chill running down his spine.


    He did not think that not only was Ye Yuan''s own strength powerful, but there was also actually still such a terrifying evil spirit following by his side.


    "Roar!"


    The giant bear roared and said angrily, "Damn brat, to actually dare sneak attack me! You''re dead for sure! A mere evil spirit, you think that you can rest easy without a care?"


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, "Big stupid bear, you alone isn''t enough. Get the two of them to attack together. Although the three of you are a bit weak, it''s enough to guard my door for me."


    Ye Yuan''s words made the giant bear even more infuriated.


    "Punk, Grandpa Bear will tear you to pieces!"


    While talking, the giant bear waved its terrifying giant paw, clashing together with the evil spirit.


    This time, he brought out all of his strength!


    However, the giant bear discovered that he was wrong very quickly.


    Outrageously wrong!


    Ye Yuan''s words just now were not a false statement.


    This evil spirit was too strong!


    In a few rounds, it beat him until he did not have the slightest strength to retaliate, crying out strangely.


    The giant bear shouted, "What are the two of you still stoning for? Don''t you guys want to cultivate here anymore?"


    When the wild boar and old deer heard this, they exchanged a glance and also joined in the fray.


    With three fierce beasts attacking together, the situation finally took a turn for the better.


    However, the evil spirit under Dustless''s control was seriously too strong.


    His Ghost Dao Hundred Runes was used at the highest level, forcefully raising the evil spirit''s combat power several levels.


    Three rank five fierce beasts were actually suppressed firmly by an evil spirit.


    By the side, Ceng You was long dumbstruck with amazement from watching.


    This evil spirit''s aura was logically speaking not as strong as the three fierce beasts, but his combat power was abnormally terrifying.


    Sure enough, around freaks were all freaks!


    It was just that he could not figure out, why would a rank five evil spirit submit itself to Ye Yuan?


    Three beasts and a ghost fought intensely for a full two hours, fighting until the entire Firecloud Peak was thrown into chaos.


    On Firecloud Peak, wails of fierce beasts would transmit over from time to time.


    The giant bear shouted, "Not fighting anymore! Not fighting anymore! We �� We admit defeat!"


    The three powerful fierce beasts had bloody noses and swollen faces at this time, wounds all over their bodies, their auras incomparably disorderly. They were finally beaten into submission by Dustless.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How is it? Agree to guard my door for me now?"


    The three fierce beasts exchanged glances and actually could not make up their minds for a moment.


    They were Firecloud Peak''s kings, but guarding the door for a human was too shameful.


    But they also could not resist the temptation of the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye.


    How frustrating!

 1801 Three Beasts Showing off Their Power

    The person in front was wearing a blue long-robe. His aura was powerful. He was already a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would be able to recognize that this person was precisely Qian Ye.


    And the two people behind him, one was the Zhong Hanlin who had entered the sect not long, while the other was that disciple who arranged for Ye Yuan to enter the Firecloud Peak to open up an abode.


    "Wang Quan, pretty well done this time. From today onward, you''re my Soaring Flower lineage''s outer-member. This medicinal pill is your reward."


    Qian Ye casually threw a medicinal pill over, his tone full of arrogance.


    However, Wang Quan did not mind at all. In fact, he was wildly ecstatic instead.


    "Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye! In the future, if Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye has any instruction that you want to give, Wang Quan offers his service. Feel free to speak up. Wang Quan will definitely brave any danger to perform my duty!"


    Qian Ye nodded his head and said, "You''re certain that they entered Firecloud Peak?"


    Wang Quan hurriedly said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured. That day, I constantly kept watch on him and saw that the two of them indeed entered Firecloud Peak."


    Qian Ye said coolly, "The spiritual energy on Firecloud Peak is sparse. Furthermore, there are quite a few rank five fierce beasts. That punk has high regard for himself, going along with the current, wanting to come here to train. But if he encountered rank five fierce beasts, that''s certain death. Come, let''s go take a look."


    Qian Ye was very confident in his own strength. Even if he ran into rank five fierce beasts, he also had confidence in retreating unscathed.


    Right at this time, several more figures flew closer from afar.


    There were three groups of people among the arrivals. They seemed to have made an appointment, arriving at this desolate Firecloud Peak at the same time.


    Qian Ye''s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold smile, "You guys really know how to pick up a bargain!"


    Beside Duan Qinghong, a youth in white said, "Heh, Qian Ye, don''t say that. It''s your movement that was too fast."


    This person''s aura was not the slightest bit weaker than Qian Ye''s, also a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse.


    These two people were of the Cloudsword lineage.


    There were also two other groups of people. One batch was the Immortal Abode lineage''s Jiang Xueyan. The other batch was the Devil Elephant lineage; who could it be if not Song Ting?


    "Heh, you can''t say that. Screwing a puny little Ye Yuan to death doesn''t take much effort. Didn''t you take his life by playing a small trick?" Jiang Xueyan said with a smile.


    Jiang Xueyan smiled and said, "Times have changed. You were going to make a move against Baili at that time!"


    Qian Ye gave a cold snort and said, "Enough crap! Since everybody is here, why not go to Firecloud Peak and take a look. I believe that with the few of our strengths, making a round-trip exploration shouldn''t be an issue."


    The moment these words came out, everyone all nodded.


    Several mighty Celestial Deity Realm disciples taking action, even if there were rank five fierce beasts, they could also deal with it.


    The party went down to the Firecloud Peak and started searching for Ye Yuan two people''s traces.


    The traces that Ye Yuan left behind were very obvious. There were quite a few places on the mountain that had traces of fighting. They were not hard to find.


    Qian Ye and the rest did not spend much time and found the corpses of fierce beasts strewn all over the ground.


    When they saw the corpses of those three peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts, the expressions on their faces became solemn.


    "This kid''s combat power is too strong! Just a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord and he can actually kill three peak late-stage rank four fierce beasts! Furthermore, it looks like the battle didn''t last long!" Qian Ye said with a solemn face.


    But Jiang Xueyan said coolly, "What''s so strange about it? How do you think he got first place in the first round''s assessment? Therefore, he must die!"


    Everyone all nodded when they heard it. The appearance of such a genius would break the balance of the three major factions.


    This kind of situation was absolutely not allowed to happen.


    Ye Yuan being assigned to Tianying Peak, the three major factions clearly contributed to it.


    Otherwise, with the talent that Ye Yuan displayed, even if he did not have a powerful faction behind him, it was also absolutely impossible to be assigned to Tianying Peak.


    The Cloudsword Sect''s Celestial Deity Realm disciple, Yi Qingxiang, said with a smile that was not a smile, "The spiritual energy ahead is getting richer and richer. Looks like the abode he chose lies not far ahead. But this kind of place is also very close to rank five fierce beasts'' territories already, right?"


    Hearing Yi Qingxiang''s words, everyone also revealed knowing smiles.


    Even if Ye Yuan had astonishing talent, encountering rank five fierce beasts were also certain death.


    Everyone followed Ye Yuan''s footprints and gradually closed in on the place where the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye was at.


    "This Firecloud Peak is really a remote hinterland! The place with the thickest spiritual energy also can''t compare to a level three abode."


    Feeling the surrounding spiritual energy, Qian Ye said with a disdainful look.


    The other people''s faces also revealed expressions that deeply felt that way too.


    The abodes that they cultivated in, those were all very high-grade spiritual eyes. Toward the Firecloud Peak, this sort of place, they naturally looked down on it.


    Tianying Peak was originally the spiritual vein with the most impoverished spiritual energy, and Firecloud Peak was even a stray peak with very sparse spiritual energy within the radius of Tianying Peak. The spiritual energy here could be imagined.


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    "Roar!"


    All of a sudden, a series of beast roars echoed out.


    Countless powerful auras instantly rang from all directions.


    When the few people heard, their scalps immediately tingled.


    The aura of each fierce beast was extremely powerful. Among them, there were several which were clearly rank five fierce beasts.


    "Not good! Why would so many fierce beasts suddenly appear? Quickly go! I can''t stay in this place!" Jiang Xueyan''s expression changed greatly as she said.


    However, her voice had yet to fade when three fierce beasts directly scurried out of the dense woods, surrounding the few people in the center.


    "Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear! Gold Rainbow Skyfiend Deer! Dragon Thunder Mystic Hog!"


    When Qian Ye saw these three rank five fierce beasts, he was frightened out of his wits.


    Although these three fierce beasts were only initial-stage rank five, their strengths were definitely much stronger than them, these First Firmament celestial deities.


    If it was only one, the few of them could still barely manage to deal with it.


    Three appearing all at once, this was simply fatal!


    These three fierce beasts were naturally those three that Ye Yuan subdued.


    They were finally still unable to resist the temptation of the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye and chose to submit.


    After all, Firecloud Peak''s spiritual energy was still relatively speaking a little too impoverished.


    "Reckless and blind things, to actually dare interrupt Grandpa Bear''s cultivation, deserve to die!"


    The Dragon Thunder Mystic Hog said, "Damn black bear, talk what nonsense with them? Just directly kill them"


    The Gold Rainbow Skyfiend Deer also said, "Kill! Grandpa Deer, I, still have to cultivate!"


    The three people did not take nonsense either, directly charging over towards Qian Ye and the rest.


    In an instant, the few people were forced until they were in a fluster by three incomparably powerful fierce beasts.


    "These few fellows already unlocked spiritual wisdom; we''re not their match! Quickly run!" Jiang Xueyan yelled.


    How could the few people dare to linger, frantically wanting to break out of the encirclement?


    However, how could these three fierce beasts be easy to get along with? Wanting to run was not that easy too.


    For some time, Qian Ye and the rest fell into a bitter fight.


    That Wang Quan was only a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. Being hit by a slap from the Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear, he directly died until not even dregs remained.


    It was a pity that he joined the Soaring Flower lineage for less than a day and ended up perishing, with his Dao disappearing.


    The group of people retreated as they fought, wanting to fly out of the boundary of Firecloud Peak.


    At that time, no matter how strong these three fierce beasts were, they also did not dare to chase after anymore.

 1802 A Zither Melody

    Qian Ye, Yi Qingxiang, Jiang Xueyan, and the rest were all in tattered clothing currently, as if they were beggars.


    Song Ting, Duan Qinghong, Zhong Hanlin, and the rest, their appearances were even more miserable. They were seriously injured and already on the verge of death.


    Under the three great fierce beasts'' encirclement, this group of people narrowly broke out of the heavy encirclement. But the price paid was also extremely heavy.


    Qian Ye''s expression was livid as he gritted his teeth and said, "Really damn it to hell! Rank five fierce beasts are all extremely proud. So how could they possibly join hands with each other?"


    How did Jiang Xueyan still have any hint of the appearance of a fairy maiden at this time? She was like a crazy woman instead.


    Hearing Qian Ye''s words, she panted and said, "These three fierce beasts must be Firecloud Peak''s overlord-class existences. Why would they appear in the same area at the same time?"


    Qian Ye gave a cold snort and said, "Ignore that. Since even those three fierce beasts appeared in the same area, that punk is definitely dead until not even dregs remain already."


    The rest all nodded their heads in agreement when they heard that.


    Although very puzzled in their hearts, they did not want to come to this Firecloud Peak anymore.


    Either way, judging from the traces, Ye Yuan definitely entered that area. Then the outcome that awaited him could only be one.


    Confirming that Ye Yuan was already dead, they naturally did not have the mind to care about whatever oddity in this remote hinterlands anymore.


    Yi Qingxiang scolded angrily, "If this kid died, then he''s died. To actually cause us to be injured like this, truly deserve death!"


    Jiang Xueyan said coldly, "Alright, enough crap! If that kid doesn''t die, his threat would be immense to us three great factions! You guys hurry up and bring those two back. Otherwise, they would really die!"


    Qian Ye and Yi Qingxiang''s faces changed, gave a cold snort, and flew over in the direction of Tianying Peak.


    ...


    After several years, an elegant and ethereal figure arrived at Tianying Peak, immediately attracting a series of sidelong glances.


    "Eh, isn''t that the Baili Qingyan of Canopy Peak? Why would she come to our Tianying Peak?"


    "Truly beautiful! What''s even more damnable is that her talent is even extremely terrifying. I heard that she just entered the sect for a few years, and she already broke through to half-step Celestial Deity."


    "Truly monstrous! Right now, the sect is already grooming her with all their power, planning on having her take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time."


    ...


    Her talent utterly crushed her peers. Even some veteran genius disciples were also firmly suppressed by her.


    The requirements of participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was extremely stringent. Skeletal age could not exceed 2000 years, and one must even be a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse.


    In the entire Shadowmoon Sect, there were few who satisfied this condition.


    The likes of Jiang Xueyan and Qian Ye were all strong contenders for this Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s slots.


    It was just that their talent compared to Baili Qingyan was still not enough to look at.


    Baili Qingyan''s startling performance during the entrance examination, coupled with the Immortal Abode lineage''s powerful strength, the sect had large quantities of resources biased towards her currently.


    Having talent in addition to resources, Baili Qingyan''s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, with a trend of catching up from behind.


    In just a few years, Baili Qingyan was already almost breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    To ordinary disciples, although this step was not considered a heavenly chasm, it absolutely could not be achieved in such a short time.


    "This junior apprentice brother, I wonder where Ye Yuan is at?"


    Baili Qingyan stopped a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord disciple. That disciple immediately felt light-headed, his chest instantly filled with happiness.


    Except, about this question, he clearly did not know.


    Asking several people in a row, no one knew Ye Yuan this person. This made Baili Qingyan puzzled.


    "Impossible! With his talent, how can he possibly be unknown in Tianying Peak?"


    Carrying this doubt, Baili Qingyan found the abode assigning disciple again.


    "This junior apprentice brother, I''m Canopy Peak''s Baili Qingyan. I want to check Ye Yuan''s residence."


    The present Baili Qingyan already gradually developed the aura of a sovereign.


    When talking to ordinary disciples, she was akin to a fairy maiden high above the clouds, making people not dare to look her in the eyes.


    But only toward Ye Yuan, she could not quite let it go all along.


    Wang Quan already died, so the disciple here naturally as a different person. But even if Baili Qingyan did not introduce herself, he also recognized her, and naturally would not refuse.


    He checked and saw Ye Yuan''s name very soon. His expression could not help changing as he said, "Junior Apprentice Brother Ye was sent to Firecloud Peak, most likely ��"


    Baili Qingyan''s heart thumped, immediately having a foreboding premonition and she said anxiously, "Most likely what?"


    That disciple said, "Firecloud Peak isn''t developed yet. There are fierce beasts everywhere, and also quite a few rank five existences. The disciples who went to open up an abode there have never returned alive before. About Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, there have already been no news for several years. Most likely �� he''s already buried in Firecloud Peak."


    Baili Qingyan''s face changed and she said in a cold voice, "Nonsense! With Ye Yuan''s strength, how can he possibly die at the hands of fierce beasts?"


    She knew what place Ye Yuan had gone before. How could he possibly have died?


    That disciple saw Baili Qingyan fly off the handle and immediately did not even dare to breathe loudly, faltering and unable to speak.


    At the same time, he was also very curious in his heart. Who in the world was this Ye Yuan, to actually be able to make the goddess so concerned?


    Seeing that disciple not speak, Baili Qingyan bit her lips gently, turned around, and left Tianying Peak, going to find Jiang Xueyan.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, was Ye Yuan''s matters arranged by you?" Baili Qingyan''s face was cold as frost as she questioned.


    Jiang Xueyan knew that she could not hide for long and said smilingly, "It has nothing to do with me. It was all arranged by Qian Ye. If you want to take revenge, you can go find him."


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed and she said in shock, "Take revenge? Ye Yuan he really �� really died?"


    Jiang Xueyan recounted the events on that day with a smile. Baili Qingyan immediately turned ashen pale, a sorrowful emotion welling up in her heart.


    "I �� What''s with me? I clearly �� clearly hate him very much! But why �� do I have a feeling of wanting to cry?"


    When Jiang Xueyan saw this scene, she could not help heaving a sigh as she said, "That kid was too arrogant and insolent on the account of his ability. He didn''t know how to restrain himself. He''d die sooner or later in the Shadowmoon Sect. Now, isn''t it great that he''s dead? You can focus on cultivating and strive to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm as soon as possible, and then you can prepare for the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave."


    Baili Qingyan ignored her and left in low spirits.


    After several days, a Baili Qingyan in white clothes appeared at the top of Firecloud Peak.


    The Baili Qingyan without any makeup, clad in white, seemed like an otherworldly fairy maiden.


    In front of her, a zither was placed.


    "You frivolous scoundrel! My, Baili Qingyan''s, zither, will only be played for the person I love! But you blackmailed with this and followed me into the Shadowmoon Mountain Range! I hate you! Now, you and I are separated by death. The promise of that day can no longer be fulfilled. Today, I''ll play a melody on my zither. I hope that you can hear my zither sound in the underworld."


    Ten fingers moving lightly, the sounds of the zither lingered sweetly, spilling throughout the entire Firecloud Peak.


    A thousand-mile lonely grave, nowhere to speak dreary words.


    In the zither sound, tenderness and saddened pain exuded everywhere.


    With the song ending, Baili Qingyan already had tears covering her face.


    "Turned out that my zither strings have already been stirred by you." Baili Qingyan choked.

 1803 Rage

    On Firecloud Peak, it was still so desolate and barren.


    But on this day, there were several additional figures on the peak.


    One of them looked around in a panic and said fearfully, "I heard that this Firecloud Peak has quite a few rank five fierce beasts. I hope we won''t run into them!"


    The person in the lead said, "Scared of what? Firecloud Peak is so big. There are only that few rank five fierce beasts, they will just happen to be encountered by us? As long as we pluck the Crimson Tail Grass, we''ll be able to complete the sect''s mission!"


    Another person complained, "Really damn it! Why did this Crimson Tail Grass have to grow on Firecloud Peak? Firecloud Peak is more dangerous compared to most of the other places in the Shadowmoon Mountain Range!"


    Suddenly, the eyes of that person leading lit up and he said in great joy, "Crimson Tail Grass!"


    Everyone looked, there was indeed a small tuft of spirit medicine not far away. The crimson-colored leaves trailed very long, like a tail.


    The few people were overjoyed and hurriedly dashed over.


    But right at this time, an aura that almost made them suffocate suddenly appeared.


    Then, an enormous bear appeared in front of them.


    "Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear! R-Rank five fierce beast! W-Wouldn''t be so coincidental, right?"


    When that person in the lead saw the old bear, his face immediately turned deathly pale, his pair of legs quaking.


    He was a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse too, but in front of the old bear, his strength was completely not enough to look at.


    The Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear''s eyes revealed a murderous gleam and said angrily, "A few damn bugs came to interrupt your Grandpa Bear''s cultivation again! You guys really deserve to die!"


    As he said, he swung a big slap over.


    Under this horrifying pressure, those few Shadowmoon Sect disciples could not muster up any desire to resist at all, closing their eyes and waiting for death.


    "Old bear, don''t harm their lives."


    Suddenly, a voice came out of the dense woods. The old bear''s expressions turned solemn, his aura immediately dissipating with the wind.


    Those few disciples let out a long sigh in relief, feeling joyful from surviving a disaster.


    "Disciple Lin Fan thanks Senior for your life-saving grace!"


    That disciple in the lead bowed down in the direction of the voice. The others also followed suit one after another.


    In Lin Fan''s view, to be able to stop a rank five fierce beast with a word, that must be a deacon-level existence.


    Otherwise, with the ferocious nature of fierce beasts, how could it possibly listen obediently?


    The old bear said with a disgruntled look, "Ye brat, you finally came out of seclusion!"


    When that group of disciples saw Ye Yuan, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    They even thought about which senior or expert he was. Messing around for half a day, he was actually the same as them, all Divine Lord Realm martial artists!


    Except, why would a rank five fierce beast be so obedient?


    Ye Yuan looked at the Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear and said with a smile, "Old bear, you don''t need to show an appearance like you suffered bitterly and have a deep hatred. In these 200 years, your strength also increased considerably. So shouldn''t you thank me?"


    Ye Yuan''s seclusion took 200 years'' time.


    The Obstructed Tillage Spirit Eye''s abundant energy also made Ye Yuan''s realm rise rapidly within the 200 years, breaking through to Ninth Firmament Divine Lord in one stroke.


    The three fierce beasts naturally also had a great increase in strength under such berserk spiritual energy.


    Presently, their strength was already comparable to a human Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Seeing Ye Yuan mention it, the old bear smiled embarrassedly and said, "Heh heh, isn''t it still all thanks to you?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Good that you know!"


    When those few disciples heard Ye Yuan and the Desolate Cloud Ancient Bear chatting, each and every one of them was shocked until it could not be greater.


    When could a human chat so peacefully with fierce beasts?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was just a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord!


    Hearing them talk, Ye Yuan seemed to live in this Firecloud Peak.


    Wasn''t it said that Firecloud Peak was still a barren land, people who opened up abodes all died here?


    Then �� what was going on here?"


    Ye Yuan glanced at the Crimson Tail Grass not far away and said coolly, "You guys are here to look for the Crimson Tail Grass?"


    Lin Fan drew a deep breath and said with clasped hands, "Yes. Junior Apprentice Brother, could this place be �� your abode?"


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded, considered to have tacitly acknowledged it, and responded with a question, "Which sub-peak are you all from?"


    Lin Fan did not dare to dawdle and answered, "The few of us are from Heavenly Heart Peak. Because we received the sect''s missions and need to use the Crimson Tail Grass, that''s why we came to Firecloud Peak. We didn''t expect to disturb Junior Apprentice Brother''s quiet cultivation."


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that I exited seclusion today. Otherwise, Old Bear probably won''t let you guys off."


    His words made everyone''s hearts clench, secretly thinking that they got lucky.


    That slap of Old Bear smacking down earlier, none of them could escape!


    But what surprised them even more was that this rank five fierce beast was actually guarding Ye Yuan''s door.


    Who in the world was this guy?


    Opening up an abode on Firecloud Peak, this young man should be Tianying Peak''s disciple. But when did Tianying Peak produce such a monstrous existence?


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Fan, "Oh, right, I have a good brother called Han Yong, also at your Heavenly Heart Peak. Not seeing him for 200 years, I wonder how he''s been doing recently?"


    After the entrance examination back then, Ye Yuan, Han Yong, Yang Fan, and the rest were assigned to different sub-peaks.


    Han Yong, Yang Fan, and the rest had their own lineages as backers. The sub-peaks that they were assigned to naturally would not be too lousy as well.


    Heavenly Heart Peak was already considered average level among the nine peaks, the resources were still rather abundant.


    Mentioning Han Yong, Lin Fan''s face could not help changing.


    Ye Yuan''s heart thumped, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    His expression turned cold, a terrifying aura crept out from his body.


    "What''s wrong with him?"


    Feeling Ye Yuan''s powerful aura, Lin Fan felt like he was almost suffocating.


    That was the aura of death!


    Only now did he know that similarly Ninth Firmament Divine Lords, but Ye Yuan was god knows how many times stronger than him!


    "After Han Yong entered the sect, he improved very quickly and became an outer-sect elite very fast. But, in the last Nine Peaks Competition, Han Yong ran into Heavenly Bud Peak''s Zhong Hanlin. In the end, he was dealt a deadly blow by Zhong Hanlin on the stage. Now �� Now, he''s already a cripple, being relegated as a miscellaneous affairs disciple."


    When Lin Fang said finish, he discovered that a layer of frost already hung on Ye Yuan''s face, and his heart could not help pounding.


    He seemed to have seen a blazing fury on Ye Yuan''s body.


    This was bristling with anger, right?


    "You guys pick the Crimson Tail Grass and leave," Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Lin Fan was akin to being granted amnesty, being endlessly grateful toward Ye Yuan. Only then did he bid farewell and left.


    After the few people left, Ye Yuan''s face was cold as frost as he gritted his teeth and said, "Qian Ye, Zhong Hanlin, you guys are really ballsy enough!"


    Ye Yuan naturally understood in his heart. Han Yong was remembered by Zhong Hanlin, and hence, he was being implicated by him.


    His feud with the Soaring Flower lineage grew deeper and deeper.


    Han Yong this person was very crude, but he was very straightforward and also very loyal. He was deserving of being a good brother.


    "Old Bear, you guys help me watch over the abode well. I have some matters and need to go somewhere," Ye Yuan said to the old bear.


    Old Bear nodded and said, "Relax, with the three of us around, unless it''s the Shadowmoon Sect''s deacon powerhouses that come, otherwise, no one can touch this place!"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, feet striding out, his figure disappearing from Firecloud Peak.

 1804 Avenging Grievances if There Are, Taking Revenge if Theres Grudge

    "Made you transport a few pieces of heavy gold stones and you took your own sweet time! You didn''t eat rice? I say, you good-for-nothing, what use do you have? Why don''t you go and die?"


    A Seventh Firmament Divine Lord supervisor held a whip in his hands, landing it viciously on a burly man.


    That lashing was deep until bone could be seen.


    Bang!


    He still did not vent his anger like this and followed up with a kick onto that burly man''s body, directly kicking him flying.


    When the burly man landed on the ground, he immediately vomited out a large mouthful of fresh blood.


    A dozen over miscellaneous affairs disciples stood in front of that supervisor, each and every one incomparably respectful. No one dared to come forward.


    The supervisor was wearing the outfit of Heavenly Heart Peak''s disciples. He was very eye-catching.


    Han Yong struggled to stand up, gaze looking at the supervisor coldly, clenching his jaws tightly.


    "Yoo, temper isn''t small! Still dare to glare at me? I''ll make you stare!"


    Smack!


    Another whip lashed over. The flesh on Han Yong''s face was taken out, looking gruesome and savage.


    That supervisor''s technique was clearly extremely accomplished. The divine essence used was just right. This whip landing would not kill people, but it would absolutely flay apart skin and flesh, with the pain penetrating into the marrows.


    Han Yong had a dark expression as he gritted his teeth and said, "Du Zichuan, I went up the mountain to deliver heavy gold stones, but I just happened to run into Li Jinyao. Then he made me go do stuff. You dare say that this wasn''t arranged by you?"


    Du Zichuan said angrily when he heard that, "Insolent thing, a mere miscellaneous affairs disciple actually dares to slander an outer-sect disciple! Have you eaten a bear''s heart or leopard''s gall?"


    Smack!


    Finished talking, it was another whipping.


    Du Zichuan said disdainfully, "Do you think that you''re still that high and mighty genius disciple? You''re merely a good-for-nothing now! A complete and utter trash! Hahaha ��"


    With Han Yong being seriously injured by Zhong Hanlin that time, even though he went through a period of healing, he was already unable to return to his peak state.


    The current Han Yong''s realm fell drastically and only had Third Firmament Divine Lord cultivation.


    So in front of Du Zichuan, he did not have the strength to retaliate at all.


    Han Yong had a dark look on his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "You lackey, if you have the capabilities, kill me! Otherwise, there will come a day where you''ll regret it!"


    He had a stubborn temper. Although he was humiliated in all kinds of ways, he never gave in.


    Finished talking, Du Zichuan''s whip landed on Han Yong''s body like a venomous snake''s tongue flashing out.


    This guy was clearly a master of torturing people. Each lash landing, the flesh and skin on Han Yong''s body would be taken out.


    This was not fatal, but it was even more horrible than death.


    Han Yong was beaten until he kept rolling on the ground, but refused to make any bit of sound, forcefully enduring it.


    Smack!


    The whip sounded out but did not land this time.


    Du Zichuan''s expression changed. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and a person suddenly appeared in front of him.


    That person grabbed the whip firmly in his hand. No matter how Du Zichuan tried to move his whip, he was unable to pull it out.


    Du Zichuan''s face flushed red from exertion as he said, "L-Let go!"


    A cold light glinted in Ye Yuan''s eyes, his wrist lightly shaking, and the whip slipped out of his hand.


    Du Zichuan was startled inwardly and said with a grim expression, "Who �� Who are you, to dare act wildly on my Heavenly Heart Peak? Do �� Do you know who I am?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I know. You''re Zhong Hanlin''s lackey!"


    Du Zichuan''s face changed. How could he still not know that Ye Yuan was here to find trouble.


    But he was used to running amuck every single day by relying on the fact that he was a member of the Soaring Flower lineage. Hence, he did not take Ye Yuan seriously.


    Merely an outer-sect disciple that he had not seen before, did he still dare to challenge the Soaring Flower lineage?


    "I �� I''m warning you. I''m a member of the Soaring Flower lineage, if you dare to touch me, you won''t have a good end!" Du Zichuan appeared tough outward but was timid inward as he threatened Ye Yuan.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled. "If you didn''t say that you''re a member of the Soaring Flower lineage, I might still pull my punches with you. But now �� you''ll die very horribly!"


    Ye Yuan and the Soaring Flower lineage''s conflict had a long history. This guy actually used this to threaten him, truly, the evil that we bring upon ourselves was the hardest to bear!


    However, Ye Yuan did not immediately do anything to him, but bent over and inspected Han Yong.


    Han Yong already fainted from the pain. Currently, his body seemed to have blossomed, skin flayed open and flesh torn, not an intact spot on his body from head to tie.


    The fury in Ye Yuan''s heart had long already burst through the fence. Fishing out a medicinal pill, he stuffed it into Han Yong''s mouth and used divine essence to help him process it.


    When Du Zichuan saw this scene, he took the chance when Ye Yuan was not paying attention, wanting to slip away.


    However, the moment his figure moved, a force already arrived through the air!


    Bang!


    The back of Du Zichuan''s legs were struck, causing him to directly kneel down.


    Ye Yuan grasped it very accurately. Du Zichuan''s legs already completely lost feeling now. He was completely unable to run anymore.


    "Don''t be in a hurry. It hasn''t started yet, run for what?" Ye Yuan''s nonchalant voice seemed to have come from the underworld, making him feel a chill run down his spine.


    He wanted to run, but he could not run!


    Very soon, Han Yong slowly woke up. The injuries on his body were already recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    It was all some flesh wound, while it was painful, it was not a big deal.


    Of course, it was also that Ye Yuan came in the nick of time. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.


    "Y-Ye Yuan! You �� You actually didn''t die!"


    When Han Yong opened his eyes and saw Ye Yuan, he could not help looking shocked.


    Ever since 200 years ago, with Baili Qingyan playing a melody on the zither on Firecloud Peak, everyone already knew that Ye Yuan died.


    But Ye Yuan was actually standing in front of him alive now.


    No, wait, 200 years'' time, breaking through from a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord to becoming a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, what �� what was this speed?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Some things, talk again later. Right now, we will be avenging grievances if there are, taking revenge if there''s grudge!"


    As he said, Ye Yuan passed the whip to Han Yong.


    Han Yong was taken aback and immediately understood.


    These few years, he was tormented by Du Zichuan till the verge of death.


    Many times, he wished to commit suicide but endured it.


    He was someone with a very tough and tenacious personality, he still pulled through in the end.


    Even though he knew that it was difficult to recover to his peak again, he always held onto that glimmer of hope.


    Han Yong received the whip and said through gnashed teeth, "Ye Yuan, thank you!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "We''re brothers, thanking me for what? This is merely a small fry. So hurry up and finish him off! Do you dare to make a scene with me?"


    Han Yong''s expression changed, immediately guessing what Ye Yuan wanted to do.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "I''m already like this, what''s not to dare? Even if I can''t return to the peak, this grudge, I have to avenge it too! It''s just that �� it will drag you down like this!"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Drag me down? Heh heh, my enmity with the Soaring Flower lineage has long been irreconcilable hatred already!"


    Han Yong was stunned and suddenly nodded and said, "You''re not even scared, what am I afraid of? But this Du Zichuan, I must vent this frustration properly today!"


    Finished talking, Han Yong slowly walked over toward Du Zichuan.


    Du Zichuan''s expression changed and he threatened, "Han Yong, you good-for-nothing! Do �� Do you dare to hit me?"


    Han Yong smiled coldly and said, "Are you stupid? Not hitting you these few years was because I couldn''t beat you! Otherwise, you''d have long died ten thousand times! Now, my brother is here. So you just savor it well!"

 1805 Kowtow and Apologize

    Inside a small room on Heavenly Bud Peak, Zhong Hanlin was currently bellowing at the Soaring Flower lineage''s disciples.


    Clearly, he was very upset.


    After 200 years of cultivation, Zhong Hanlin who had talent surpassing others already broke through to become a half-step Celestial Deity.


    Just one more step and he could reach Celestial Deity Realm.


    And he would also become the Soaring Flower lineage''s outer-sect number one person officially.


    Duan Qinghong and he were running neck to neck, similarly becoming the Cloudsword lineage''s outer-sect number one person.


    These two people had also been secretly competing all along.


    Zhong Hanlin scolded the disciples fiercely. Suddenly, someone came to report, saying that someone outside was looking for him.


    He gave a cold snort and said angrily, "You all just wait, you will all get it!"


    The moment he went out the door, Zhong Hanlin saw Du Zichuan whose skin was flayed open, his flesh torn.


    His face fell and he said, "Du Zichuan, who beat you until like this?"


    Although Du Zichuan''s talent wasn''t much, he knew how to ingratiate himself to people very well and was also very reliable when doing things. So Zhong Hanlin liked him a lot.


    One had to look at the master when beating a dog too. This Shadowmoon Sect actually still had someone who dared to touch his, Zhong Hanlin''s, people.


    "It''s me."


    Behind Du Zichuan, a figure appeared.


    Zhong Hanlin was just about to fly off the handle when he suddenly jumped up like he saw a ghost and said stammeringly, "Y-Y-You �� Why aren''t you dead?"


    "You didn''t die, how could I dare die?"


    Smack!


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan raised his hand like lightning and gave a slap.


    Clear and resonant!


    Caught off-guard, Zhong Hanlin was directly slapped by Ye Yuan until he looked for teeth on the ground.


    Of course, even if he was prepared, it was also impossible to dodge this strike of Ye Yuan''s.


    This scene immediately attracted a large group of disciples to surround and watch.


    "Who is this person? To actually dare hit Zhong Hanlin, he doesn''t want to live anymore?"


    "Never seen before! When did such a powerful existence appear among the outer-sect disciples?"


    "Just now was just a sneak attack, right? With Zhong Hanlin''s strength, it''s impossible for him, a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, to be Zhong Hanlin''s match."


    ...


    Zhong Hanlin crawled to his feet and only felt the world spinning around, unable to find his bearing at all.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "These words, regardless whether it''s you, or Qian Ye, or Jiang Xueyan, you''ve said it many times already. But I''m still perfectly fine right now."


    Zhong Hanlin''s expression changed, his eyes swiveling around.


    He knew that he was definitely not Ye Yuan''s match, so he could not muster up the thought to resist at all.


    Back then when Ye Yuan was Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, he, a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, was already not a match.


    The current Ye Yuan already skyrocketed, directly breaking through to become a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. He, this half-step Celestial Deity, was not totally not enough to look at!


    This bit, Zhong Hanlin was aware in his heart.


    What he had to do right now was inform Qian Ye!


    At this time, the Soaring Flower lineage''s disciples also all came out. He secretly made a hand gesture to one of his confidants.


    That disciple understood and turned around and left.


    How could this scene escape Ye Yuan''s eyes?


    However, he did not stop him but allowed him to leave.


    Today, Ye Yuan was hell-bent on blowing the matter up!


    "Go, kowtow and apologize to my brother!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhong Hanlin was taken aback. Looking over in the direction Ye Yuan pointed, his expression could not help changing.


    "Han Yong? You want me to kowtow and apologize to this trash? No way in hell! If you have the capabilities, kill me!"


    Zhong Hanlin stuck his neck out, revealing an appearance of the situation being so bad that making it worse made no real difference.


    Except, his words made everyone''s jaws hit the ground.


    People around them were all outer-sect disciples, they naturally knew Zhong Hanlin''s might and also knew that he normally acted like a tyrant.


    Today, being given a slap by someone, he actually did not even dare to resist!


    Everyone used extremely shocked gazes to look at Ye Yuan. What kind of god was this unknown guy?


    Smack!


    Another slap!


    The last time, it was the left side of the face. This time, it was the right side of the face!


    Two slaps smacked out half of Zhong Hanlin''s teeth.


    On his face, ten fingerprints could be seen clearly.


    "Not going, slap until you go!" Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhong Hanlin gritted his teeth and said, "I''m not going! F*cking hell, do you really think that I am scared of you?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhong Hanlin and smiled, smiled until his hair stood on ends, and he said, "If you feel that you can dodge, feel free and try!"


    Finished talking, his hand raised up unhurriedly, Zhong Hanlin immediately went on full alert.


    Then, Ye Yuan''s hand took his time to slap over.


    Zhong Hanlin wanted to dodge, his movement technique swift as lightning!


    At this moment, his half-step Celestial Deity strength was displayed in its entirety.


    However ��


    Smack!


    Another incomparably clear slapping sound sounded out, Zhong Hanlin was smacked until he flew out horizontally.


    "Going or not?" Ye Yuan asked again.


    Not far away, Han Yong''s entire person was dumbfounded from watching.


    Only all the way until today did he know how powerful Ye Yuan''s strength was!


    In front of him, the Zhong Hanlin who was as powerful as a heavenly god actually did not have the slightest strength to retaliate under Ye Yuan''s hands.


    He could not even dodge a slap from Ye Yuan.


    These two people were not on the same order of magnitude at all.


    That was a half-step Celestial Deity!


    Even though half-step celestial deities were not as good as real Celestial Deity powerhouses, compared to Ninth Firmament Divine Lords, they were powerhouses from a totally different world.


    But he was still like a fragile paper in front of Ye Yuan.


    "Not talking, then I''ll take it as you''re not going!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly and slapped again fiercely.


    Zhong Hanlin was slapped until he saw stars, his entire head giddy.


    Ye Yuan did not speak either, just smacking slap after slap like this.


    Finally, Zhong Hanlin could not take it anymore.


    He could not distinguish north, south, east, west at the moment. He quickly shouted, "Go! I''ll go!"


    Zhong Hanlin knew that he could not hold out until Qian Ye arrived at all.


    Now, there was only buying time.


    When Qian Ye arrived, he would return it to Ye Yuan a thousand times over!


    Being slapped four times in a row by Ye Yuan, Zhong Hanlin''s face swelled, turning into a pig''s head.


    Only to see him stall for time step by step, practically shifting in front of Han Yong.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze was sharp as he said in a cold voice, "Kneel down!"


    Zhong Hanlin was beaten silly by Ye Yuan. Hearing these words, he could not hold on anymore and kneel down with a thud.


    "What you should do, don''t need me to teach you, right?" Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Zhong Hanlin hurriedly said, "No need, no need! Han Yong, I �� I''m sorry!"


    As he said, Zhong Hanlin apologized as he kowtowed.


    Ye Yuan said coldly, "If I don''t make you stop, you''re not allowed to stop! Kowtow all the way until my brother is satisfied!"


    How could Zhong Hanlin dare to stop? He kept on kowtowing just like that and kept apologizing.


    When everyone saw this scene, all of them opened their mouths wide, eyes full of disbelief.


    Since Zhong Hanlin entered the sect for over 200 years, it had always been him screwing with people. When was it other people''s turn to humiliate him like this?


    But they also secretly broke into a sweat with fright for Ye Yuan. This was offending the Soaring Flower lineage''s people to the core!

 1806 Not Giving Face to Anybody

    Sweat gradually seeped out on Han Yong''s forehead. This commotion �� was a little too big.


    Carry on stirring up trouble like this, it would alarm the sect.


    The matters between disciples, as long as it did not get too overboard and did not violate the sect''s rules, the sect would not care too much.


    But this incident today was blown out a little too big.


    "Ye Yuan, it''s really Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside!"


    The person had yet to arrive and the voice arrived first.


    Clearly, it was Qian Ye who came.


    The moment Zhong Hanlin heard this voice, he was immediately overjoyed. Scrambling to his feet, he laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, you''re dead for sure this time! To dare offend my Soaring Flower lineage, you''re really tired of living!"


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at a fool and directly kicked a foot over.


    Zhong Hanlin wanted to dodge, but how could he dodge? He took a hit solidly and could not get up for quite a while.


    "Alright, now that my brother''s scores are squared, we should settle ours!" Ye Yuan stomped on his chest and said coldly.


    Qian Ye rushed over and just happened to see this scene, and immediately burned with fury.


    "Ye Yuan, let Zhong Hanlin go! Otherwise, you''ll die very horribly!" Qian Ye said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are your Soaring Flower lineage all idiots? You''re already making me die very horribly, why would I still let him go?"


    When everyone heard Ye Yuan''s arrogant words, they all had shocked faces.


    That was Qian Ye!


    This guy actually dared to speak to Qian Ye like this, he really did not know how the word death was written.


    As he said, Ye Yuan even stomped on Zhong Hanlin''s chest viciously. Zhong Hanlin vomited out a large mouthful of blood with a cough.


    Zhong Hanlin went utterly mad. Holding blood in his mouth, he laughed angrily and said, "Ye Yuan, you �� you just hit! The harder you hit, the more terrifying Senior Apprentice Brother Qian Ye''s revenge! Could you even dare to kill me? B-Bring it on! Kill me! H-Hahaha!"


    Qian Ye had a dark look as he closed in on Ye Yuan step by step, aura growing stronger and stronger.


    "What Hanlin said is right, even if lend you a few galls, do you �� dare to kill him? Using a person you don''t dare to kill to come and threaten me, how �� foolish are you?!"


    Each step he took, Qian Ye''s aura climbed up a great deal.


    The pressure of Celestial Deity Realm forced everyone to fall back repeatedly.


    While Ye Yuan was bearing the brunt of it.


    He wanted to use his aura to make Ye Yuan submit!


    Crack!


    Right at this time, the sound of bone breaking sounded out.


    Ye Yuan stomped down without the least bit of mercy.


    He looked at Qian Ye and said with a faint smile, "You said that �� I don''t dare to kill him? You try saying it one more time!"


    The force under Ye Yuan''s foot grew heavier and heavier. Zhong Hanlin''s eyes rolled back, the blood in his mouth dribbling out, it was evident he could not survive anymore.


    When Qian Ye saw this scene, his eyes could not help turning intent, the imposing momentum on his body immediately dissipating into thin air.


    He thought that with his imposing momentum coupled with the sect''s rules, he could break Ye Yuan''s will.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan was not moved at all.


    "Ye Yuan, you''re mad! You dare to kill your fellow apprentice within the sect?" Qian Ye''s voice was grim to the extreme.


    "Fellow apprentice? Heh, these two words coming out of your mouth is really satire! During the entrance examination, Zhong Hanlin already wanted to kill me! But his strength was lacking. When it was evident that he was going to be killed by me, you ambushed me with Celestial Deity Realm cultivation! Later, I entered the sect, you used despicable means to make me go to Firecloud Peak to open up an abode. You dare say that �� you didn''t do it in order to kill me? If it''s merely these, forget it too. Han Yong had no grudge nor enmity with you guys. But just because of our relationship, Zhong Hanlin crippled his cultivation and even had his subordinates humiliate him. Today, you guys must die!"


    Ye Yuan''s words were cast loudly, making everyone get a big shock.


    They had never heard before that among the disciples who entered the sect this season, there was actually still such a monstrous existence.


    The key point was that Qian Ye went to ambush Ye Yuan with First Firmament Celestial Deity strength and Ye Yuan actually survived safe and sound!


    This kind of thing was simply inconceivable.


    Qian Ye''s methods also indeed made people feel contempt.


    Entrance examination, to actually deal a deadly blow toward a disciple who had not officially entered the sect, too shameless!


    Qian Ye looked at the Zhong Hanlin spasming on the ground and said in a solemn voice, "You quickly let him go! If Zhong Hanlin dies, you have to die too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? That doesn''t need you to worry about it."


    Qian Ye''s expression was gloomy, his gaze also flickering waveringly.


    Suddenly, several figures flew over from the horizon. Qian Ye''s eyes lit up, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became gloating.


    "Impudent thing, to actually dare harm your fellow apprentice in broad daylight! How do you plead?!"


    A middle-aged man landed from the sky. His aura was extraordinary. He was clearly a high-level Celestial Deity Realm.


    Looking at the Zhong Hanlin who was already heavily injured on the verge of death under Ye Yuan''s foot, the middle-aged man was greatly enraged.


    Qian Ye cupped his fists and said, "Deacon Zheng, this boy is very cruel and savage. He beat Zhong Hanlin until like this without a word after coming up Heavenly Bud Peak! Not eliminating this fiend, our Shadowmoon Sect disciples will be bitterly disappointed!"


    Deacon Zheng glared at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, "This seat is the Law Enforcement Hall''s Deacon Zheng Yunzhe. Now, I order you to let Zhong Hanlin go and surrender without resisting, and accept the sect''s punishment!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Deacon Zheng and suddenly grinned and said, "Deacon Zheng, if I didn''t guess wrongly, you''re also a member of the Soaring Flower lineage, right?"


    Deacon Zheng''s face changed and he said in a cold voice, "Insolence! Upon entering the sect, all of us are Shadowmoon Sect''s disciples! Little animal, still not letting him go, don''t blame me for not being courteous anymore!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Come on, I want to see how you won''t be courteous!"


    As he said, the force under his foot grew a little heavier again.


    The pitiful Zhong Hanlin was already only breathing in and not breathing out anymore.


    This guy wanted to kill him time and again, how could Ye Yuan possibly let him off.


    When Deacon Zheng saw this scene, his face turned grim to the extreme.


    This Ye Yuan did not give any face to him at all.


    Zhong Hanlin was a cornerstone talent of the Soaring Flower lineage. Even though he could not compare to Baili Qingyan, his position was also irreplaceable.


    Therefore, he could not die.


    It was also precisely because of this that Deacon Zheng and Qian Ye would hold back from taking action for fear of repercussions.


    Just as both parties were at a standoff, more and more people swarmed over.


    The news spread throughout the entire Shadowmoon Sect very quickly!


    On Canopy Peak, when Baili Qingyan heard this news, her lovely body could not help trembling, and she disappeared from where she stood with a flash.


    On Tianying Peak, a woodcutter who was currently chopping firewood suddenly had his thoughts stir and he said with a smile, "Heh, this kid indeed didn''t disappoint this old man! It''s just that, this old man wants to know how you''re planning on clearing this hurdle?"


    Done talking, his body gradually dissipated in place, finally turning into nothing.


    While at this time, an old man slowly walked out, arrived in front of Ye Yuan, and said in a solemn voice, "I''m Heavenly Bud Peak''s Antehall head elder. Young man, show mercy whenever possible. Give this old man some face and let Zhong Hanlin go."


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, "Sorry about it, today, I''m not giving anybody face. He must die!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan suddenly stomped down, Zhong Hanlin''s chest was directly caved in.

 1807 You are Afraid.

    Qian Ye looked at the Zhong Hanlin who was already thoroughly dead. His eyes was full of disbelief.


    Under everyone''s watchful gazes, Ye Yuan actually really killed a person!


    That Heavenly Bud Peak''s Antehall head elder''s expression was even ugly to the extreme.


    He thought that his prestige was big enough, his status high enough, but Ye Yuan completely ignored him.


    It was still fine if he did not say. The moment he said, Ye Yuan directly trampled Zhong Hanlin to death.


    "This �� This poked a big hole in the basket!"


    "Is this guy crazy? There has never been anyone who dared to kill people within the boundaries of sub-peaks, this guy is seeking death!"


    "He might be thinking of mutual destruction. After all, the Soaring Flower lineage is too much!"


    ...


    Regarding this kind of suicide-style murder, everyone was full of puzzlement too.


    It could only be thought that Ye Yuan lost his mind in his hatred and wanted to perish together with Zhong Hanlin.


    Deacon Zheng''s expression was sullen to the extreme and he roared furiously, "What audacity! Take him down for me!"


    Behind him, two Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses had long accumulated their power, awaiting release.


    Under the word of command, they sped towards Ye Yuan like lightning.


    "Stop!"


    A delicate voice came over, Baili Qingyan''s figure appeared in the nick of time, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    This sudden change made Ye Yuan rather surprised.


    Baili Qingyan turned around and glanced at Ye Yuan, her eyes full of complicatedness, seeming to have thousands of words that she wanted to say.


    However, now was clearly not the time to speak.


    Baili Qingyan''s sudden appearance caught everyone by surprise.


    "Deacon Zheng, although Ye Yuan violated the sect rules, this matter was incited by Qian Ye and Zhong Hanlin to begin with! They wanted to kill Ye Yuan time and again. I saw it with my own eyes!"


    The present Baili Qingyan was different from when she just entered the sect.


    The person she was back then still appeared somewhat inexperienced, being impeded by Jiang Xueyan in all respects like a little sister.


    But now, her aura was already totally different.


    When she spoke, she radiated awe without being angry, with the dignified manner of a sovereign.


    With over 200 years passed, Baili Qingyan had long broken through to the Celestial Deity Realm already. Her current aura was not the slightest bit weaker compared to Qian Ye as well.


    Prodigies were prodigies, their rising trend was not what anyone could stop.


    The moment she spoke, the weight was different. Even Deacon Zheng also did not dare to casually say to take him down.


    Here, his strength was the greatest, his position also the highest.


    But Ye Yuan did not give any face at all. Now, he could not quite maintain his dignity anymore.


    Baili Qingyan said to him with clasped hands, "Elder Tao, Ye Yuan was indeed improper in doing this, but he''s in the heat of anger right now. Doing unwise actions is also within reason. Baili Qingyan apologizes to you on his behalf! But this matter, Baili will bring Ye Yuan up to the Law Enforcement Hall and confront with Qian Ye! Ye Yuan his crime doesn''t deserve death!"


    Qian Ye looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "So many years have passed, you''re still so useless! You can forever only hide behind a woman''s back!"


    Baili Qingyan''s expression turned cold and she said in a cold voice, "Qian Ye, you shut up for me!"


    Qian Ye laughed loudly and said, "Why, could it be that I said wrongly?"


    Baili Qingyan was just about to say something, but Ye Yuan walked in front of her and said coolly, "Qian Ye, you self-righteous fool! This time, you won''t have such good luck anymore! Today, our score should be settled properly!"


    The moment these words came out, everyone looked at Ye Yuan like looking at an idiot.


    Bro, you can hardly fend for yourself right now, alright?


    Posturing can change time and venue.


    To also be able to utter this kind of big talk, really don''t know what you''re talking about.


    Sure enough, Qian Ye burst out laughing when he heard it and said, "I won''t be so lucky? Punk, you''re soft in the head, right? What''s the situation currently, can''t you see clearly yet?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I came today to take Zhong Hanlin''s life and yours! Now, he has already gone first. Very soon, I''ll send you to go see him."


    Qian Ye sneered when he heard that and said, "With just you?"


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "With just me! Do you dare to have a fight with me?"


    Baili Qingyan''s pupils constricted and she cried out in shock, "Ye Yuan, are you mad? He''s a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse!"


    Qian Ye laughed wildly when he heard that and said, "Hahaha �� you, a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, want to challenge me? What qualifications do you have?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Qian Ye with a smile that was not a smile and said, "You are scared!"


    Qian Ye smiled coldly and said, "I''m scared? Heh heh, brat, goading techniques are useless! You, a measly outer-sect disciple. what qualifications do you have to challenge me?"


    What Ye Yuan said was right, Qian Ye was really a little lacking in self-confidence.


    It was not that he was scared of Ye Yuan, but it was just that he felt that Ye Yuan''s unpredictability was too great.


    When Ye Yuan was at Second Firmament Divine Lord, he could cross three minor realms to battle. Furthermore, it was even one-versus-two. Furthermore, it was even with Duan Qinghong and Zhong Hanlin, this kind of elite.


    Not seeing for 200 years, how Ye Yuan''s combat strength was, Qian Ye really could not be sure.


    Right now, Ye Yuan was in a certain-death situation. He had no need to fight to the bitter end with Ye Yuan.


    Win, he had no benefits at all.


    Lose, he would not be able to raise his head in the future.


    Although Qian Ye was very confident, Baili Qingyan still perceived a trace of Qian Ye''s lack of confidence.


    The shock in her heart could not be described with words.


    These 200 years'' time, she obtained the sect''s heavy grooming. Her strength had long soared to the sky in one bound already, leaving her peers behind.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan''s present strength was actually not worse than hers?


    Was �� this possible?


    The present Ye Yuan was merely Ninth Firmament Divine Lord!


    "Humph! Does this brat want to fish in troubled waters? A Ninth Firmament Divine Lord challenging a Celestial Deity Realm? Overestimating his own ability! In my view, there''s no need to compete. What Qian Ye said was right, you''re a criminal and have no right to compete! Baili Lass, move aside!" Elder Tao said with a cold snort.


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed and she said, "Not moving! Even if Ye Yuan made a mistake, it also needs to be up to the Law Enforcement Hall to punish! Ye Yuan, follow me to the Law Enforcement Hall!"


    Baili Qingyan pulled Ye Yuan and was about to leave.


    Everyone''s faces changed. With Baili Qingyan''s present identity, no one really dared to do anything to her.


    Ye Yuan''s protective talisman was very emboldened!


    "Baili Lass, do you want to rebel?" With Elder Tao having his face rebuffed time and again, he was already almost losing himself in rage.


    Right at this time, a horrifying aura descended from the sky.


    A figure slowly walked out of the void.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan felt his heart palpitate. He felt like the whole world was about to collapse.


    In an instant, his whole body was drenched in sweat!


    At this moment, it was like someone used their hand to clutch his heart, making him unable to even breathe.


    True God Realm powerhouse!


    This was the first thought that flashed through Ye Yuan''s mind!


    That person''s gaze was like lightning. Staring at Ye Yuan coldly, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Sect decree, those who kill fellow apprentices, kill without amnesty! Now, you can go and die!"


    Done talking, that person did not give Ye Yuan the slightest chance to argue too, pointing a finger out casually!

 1808 Not One Who Appreciate Goods

    Ye Yuan just felt that the surrounding space was completely locked down. He was unable to mobilize spatial law at all.


    True God Realm powerhouses, even if they did not know spatial law, their application of spatial law already reached a level where it makes one''s hair stand on end too.


    This was completely the crushing of realm!


    And this finger directly ignored the Baili Qingyan in front of Ye Yuan, falling straight onto Ye Yuan.


    "Ye Yuan!"


    When Baili Qingyan saw this scene, she could not help turning pale with fright.


    When she learned the news that Ye Yuan was not dead, she had no idea how happy in her heart.


    But now, they had just reunited and were going to become separated by death?


    She was unwilling!


    Qian Ye and the rest all had gloating faces. This damn guy was finally going to die this time, right?


    But right then, a layer of ripple suddenly emerged in the space in front of Ye Yuan.


    A rusty ax poked out of the void.


    That finger dissipated into thin air.


    That True God Realm powerhouse''s gaze turned sullen, and he said in a cold voice, "Lumberjack, you''re not chopping wood on your Tianying Peak. What did you run to my Heavenly Bud Peak for?"


    While talking, a woodcutter in shabby clothes walked out of the void and said with a chuckle, "This place isn''t Tianying Peak, but Ye Yuan is my Tianying Peak''s member. Jiang Hong, you want to kill my Tianying Peak''s people, how can I take it as I didn''t see it?"


    Jiang Hong''s face fell and he said, "He violated the sect rules and deserves to be executed!"


    That woodcutter rolled his sleeves up and also rolled his trousers up. Hemp garment and sackcloths, he did not look like an expert at all.


    But that attack earlier, it was still vivid in everyone''s mind.


    This person was absolutely a powerhouse on the same level as Jiang Hong!


    Hearing Jiang Hong''s words, the woodcutter chortled and said, "Sect rules? Huhu, are my Shadowmoon Sect''s rules to let disciples with talent die with hatred?"


    Jiang Hong''s face fell and he said, "Lumberjack, watch your identity! Pay attention to your words!"


    But the woodcutter was indifferent. Waving his hand grandly, he said, "Don''t talk about whatever identity with this father of yours. I am a woodcutter! If you want to kill my Tianying Peak''s people, ask the ax in my hand first!"


    Jiang Hong snorted coldly and said, "Boorish people can''t be reasoned with! No matter what, that kid must die today! Otherwise, where will my Heavenly Bud Peak''s face go?"


    The woodcutter completely ignored Jiang Hong''s threat and said with a laugh, "Didn''t Ye Yuan look for that kid called Qian Ye to cross swords? Young people''s matter, let them settle it themselves. Us old fellow shouldn''t get involved."


    Was this coming to save Ye Yuan or coming to make Ye Yuan seek his doom?


    Having Ye Yuan face-off with a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse, wasn''t this courting death?


    Jiang Hong snorted coldly and said, "Since you want to make him seek his doom, I''m naturally not stopping it! Qian Ye, I''ll leave him to you!"


    Qian Ye''s expression flickered waveringly and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Elder Jiang Hong!"


    Jiang Hong gave Qian Ye a glance rather surprisedly and started becoming uncertain in his heart.


    This Qian Ye seemed to be somewhat lacking in confidence against Ye Yuan!


    Could it be that there was really something fishing about this Ye Yuan?


    But he did not say much either. Questioning Qian Ye at this time was clearly not some wise action.


    At this point, everyone naturally had some surmises about these two mighty True God powerhouses'' identities.


    Nine great sub-peaks'' skill-imparting elders normally came and went like shadows.


    But the matter today was stirred up so big, it clearly alarmed these two great skill-imparting elders!


    This Tianying Peak skill-imparting elder of the nine great sub-peaks was the most mysterious.


    Because, concerning Tianying Peak''s matters, he had never cared about it before.


    No one could have thought that today, for Ye Yuan, he actually revealed his true self.


    Everyone similarly also did not expect that Tianying Peak''s skill-imparting elder was actually a woodcutter!


    Even Jiang Hong clearly looked down on this woodcutter, feeling that he was too boorish.


    In reality, if not for neutralizing Jiang Hong''s skill previously, no one could think that this woodcutter in front of them was actually a True God Realm powerhouse.


    This guy was too ordinary!


    Ordinary until when dropped into a pile of people, it was impossible for anyone to recognize him.


    But Ye Yuan saw power from this woodcutter!


    That Jiang Hong was clearly very wary toward the woodcutter.


    At this time, the woodcutter suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Yuan cheerfully. There was completely no difference from those lumberjacks chopping wood in the mountains.


    This kind of woodcutter gave people an extremely absurd misconception, making people truly unable to regard him as an expert.


    Ye Yuan looked at the woodcutter, incomparably shocked in his heart.


    This kind of feeling was absolutely not because the woodcutter was too ordinary, but because he was too unordinary.


    This was a boundary of returning to one''s original simplicity, a realm that most people could not imagine!


    "Heh heh, kid, don''t lose face for our Tianying Peak! Pummel him fiercely for me!" The woodcutter said to Ye Yuan gaily.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, "Many thanks to Elder for taking action. Ye Yuan won''t bring shame upon you!"


    The woodcutter patted Ye Yuan''s shoulder and said with a smile, "From that moment you, kid, stepped onto Tianying Peak, I already noticed you. That bunch of fools only know how to form factions, not one who appreciates goods! Powerhouses ultimately need themselves to be powerful! No matter how strong one''s faction is, that''s also not theirs! Exhibit your talent and let those fools regret away!"


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted slightly. He did not expect that the woodcutter had actually paid attention to him so long ago.


    It seemed like he was well aware of each and every one of Ye Yuan''s actions.


    Hence, that was why he would be so confident in him.


    Furthermore, the words that the woodcutter said happened to coincide with Ye Yuan''s views.


    A faction being powerful indeed had many conveniences but also had many shortcomings.


    To really talk about who was better and who was worse off, it was hard to say.


    But there was one thing, martial artists ultimately still had to rely on themselves.


    There would always come a day when others could not be trusted.


    ...


    Stepping into the ring, Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, unmoving like a pine tree.


    Qian Ye smiled coldly and said, "Foolish fellow, you think that by breaking through to become Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, you can deal with Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses? I''ll tell you today, how great the disparity between the Divine Lord Realm and the Celestial Deity Realms are!"


    The present Qian Ye was already not that Qian Ye back then.


    Although he did not break through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, his strength was much stronger compared to 200 years ago.


    Even though Qian Ye''s talent could not compare to Baili Qingyan, this kind of freak, but it was also absolutely not what any random Tom, Dick, and Harry could compare to.


    In reality, this generation''s representative figure of Heavenly Bud Peak was him.


    Hence, Ye Yuan''s behavior was undoubtedly like a moth flying into the fire in everyone''s view.


    Even if the woodcutter seemed to feel very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    The difference between the Celestial Deity Realm and the Divine Lord Realm was known to everyone. Even for a genius like Baili Qingyan, it was also impossible to jump realms and battle.


    Forget about a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord; even if Baili Qingyan was a half-step Celestial Deity, she could not do it too!


    Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, their inner worlds already started to give birth to myriad life. Their world power was more than a hundred times of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses.


    Coupled with the horrifying divine essence reserves, even if it was a casual strike, it was also not what Divine Lord Realm martial artists could resist.


    On what basis could Ye Yuan win?

 1809 Battling Qian Ye

    Qian Ye''s faltering confidence, Ye Yuan naturally saw through it with one glance.


    Divine Lord Realm challenging Celestial Deity Realm, this kind of courting death action, if Qian Ye was brimming with confidence, he would not have the least bit of hesitation.


    However, he hesitated.


    This showed that the strength he exhibited previously already left behind an indelible impression in Qian Ye''s heart.


    Following the increase in his realm, the uncertainty in Qian Ye''s heart grew even greater.


    Hence, that was why he did not dare to answer the challenge.


    Because punishing Ye Yuan through the sect rules was much safer.


    Qian Ye smiled coldly and said, "Heh, with just the likes of you? I''m just disdainful to take action. Since you''re courting death yourself, then I''ll personally avenge Hanlin and redress his hatred!"


    Ye Yuan smiled scornfully and said, "Really so much crap! Something that can be settled with a slap, what are you hesitating for?"


    Jiang Hong''s brows furrowed and he could not help scrutinizing Ye Yuan anew.


    With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that Qian Ye was really faltering!


    Although the two people''s realms were far apart, from start to end, it was all Ye Yuan grasping the initiative.


    If it was an opponent of similar strength, this bit of flaw was enough to be fatal!


    Did Ye Yuan really have this strength or was he making an empty show of strength?


    "Woodcutter, you''re so optimistic about this brat?" Jiang Hong could not resist asking.


    The woodcutter smiled simply and said, "Heh heh, I know what you want to ask, but I don''t know. Maybe, the one who loses is Ye Yuan! But I know that even if Ye Yuan can''t win, it absolutely won''t be easy for Qian Ye to want to take him down too."


    A hint of strange expression revealed on Jiang Hong''s face, thinking to himself that this guy did not even have confidence himself and yet let that kid take the field?


    This guy was indeed a lunatic that cannot be explained by reason!


    Junyi Sword entering the hand, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Since you''re not making a move, then I''ll make a move!"


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan raised his long sword and stepped forward.


    The swift and fierce sword energy made everyone''s faces change.


    "Sword Dao rank five, this is his reliance? Foolish!"


    When Elder Tao saw this scene, his expression could not help changing slightly. But his words were full of contempt.


    Divine Lord Realm comprehending Sword Dao rank five, this was absolutely a genius among geniuses.


    But Qian Ye behaved akin to facing a great enemy and gritted his teeth and said, "Who cares about your laws. I''ll just use realm to crush you!"


    Done talking, Qian Ye''s aura climbed frenziedly, the ring teemed with his world power.


    At this moment, the entire arena seemed to have become Qian Ye''s world.


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted and had a direct understanding of the might of Celestial Deity Realm.


    If the world power of the Divine Lord Realm was just a trickle, then the world power of the Celestial Deity Realm was a great river.


    World power was the martial artist''s control of a region of the world!


    Celestial Deity Realms already reached a subtle and meticulous degree regarding this control of a region of the world.


    Those able to contend with Celestial Deity Realms were only Celestial Deity Realms!


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not subjected to the rules.


    His figure started becoming erratic, the space around also emitted strange undulations.


    If Qian Ye''s world power was an impervious shield, then Ye Yuan was a sharp blade.


    This was the showdown between the spear and the shield!


    Under everyone''s astonished gazes, Ye Yuan broke through the heavy barrier of world power and rushed in front of Qian Ye.


    When Qian Ye saw this scene, his pupils constricted.


    A Divine Lord could actually break through the world power of the Celestial Deity Realm?


    One had to know, the world power of a Celestial Deity was more than a hundred times stronger than a Divine Lord!


    "This guy''s spatial law also became much stronger!"


    Like this, how could Qian Ye still dare to be careless? He immediately went up to receive it and clashed together with Ye Yuan.


    Saber lights and sword shadows, the two people''s moves were inconceivably swift and were actually hard evenly matched.


    The surrounding audience, each and every one of them felt a chill, being dumbfounded with amazement by this scene in front of them.


    Jiang Hong opened his mouth wide and had disbelief written all over his face as he muttered, "Rank five Sword Dao law fused with rank three spatial law! How in the world �� this did brat achieve it?"


    At this moment, he finally knew where Ye Yuan''s confidence came from.


    Such monstrous talent entered the sect for more than 200 years, he was actually unknown to the public.


    This was simply a joke!


    In front of Ye Yuan, Baili Qingyan was merely thus as well.


    Such a prodigy was actually relegated to Tianying Peak, which pig did it?


    Jiang Hong''s inner-heart was practically roaring. They, these skill-imparting elders, did not belong to any faction.


    If even this position was monopolized by the respective factions, then the Shadowmoon Sect would also not be far from decline.


    Hence, when he saw Ye Yuan''s terrifying strength, Jiang Hong''s first thought was to curse and swear!


    Looking at it now, Ye Yuan was hated by others for being more talented and deliberately ostracized to Tianying Peak.


    No wonder Ye Yuan had such great resentment. Anyone would also not be reconciled to it.


    These 200 years, Ye Yuan did not only break through realm. He also constantly fought with himself in the Death Cultivation Space.


    His Sword Dao law already broke through to rank five. Spatial law also broke through to the level of grand completion rank three.


    The two fusing together, Ye Yuan''s combat power was no idea how many times stronger than before closed-seclusion.


    While Celestial Deity Realms were strong, Ye Yuan''s cultivation method was powerful. Similarly Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, he was much stronger than those in the same rank.


    Powerful cultivation method coupled with powerful laws fusion, the disparity between Ye Yuan and a First Firmament Celestial Deity was not as great as others imagined.


    Of course, it was also absolutely not that easy.


    Qian Ye was not an ordinary First Firmament Celestial Deity. His law comprehension was likewise very high. In addition, his ubiquitous world power formed an absolute suppress against Ye Yuan.


    Except, this did not impede the people''s surprise at Ye Yuan''s strength.


    "Hahaha, so what even if you can jump realms to battle? Aren''t you still suppressed firmly by me? Foolish thing, do you really think that you can defy the heavens? Not wasting time with you anymore, now, I''ll let you take a look at my true strength and send you on your way!"


    Qian Ye''s long spear moved, the terrifying aura locked Ye Yuan down firmly.


    "Heavenly Dragon Howling Fang Spear!"


    The berserk world power rushed to the tip of the spear frenziedly.


    It was as if that in this entire world, there was only this spear left.


    At this moment, the people felt Qian Ye''s might.


    That spear seemingly transformed into an enormous dragon, exhaling a breath that made people shudder.


    "Not good, this spear is too powerful, Ye Yuan is in danger!"


    When Baili Qingyan saw this spear, her beautiful face could not refrain from turning pale with fright.


    But the woodcutter chuckled and said, "Don''t need to worry. Qian Ye has an ultimate move, but Ye Yuan''s ultimate move isn''t out yet!"


    Sure enough, his voice had yet to fade and the aura on Ye Yuan''s body became stronger.


    The surging chaos power poured out without any reservations.


    The swift and fierce sword energy surged to the sky, at the same time, the surrounding space also became illusory.


    "Spirit Concealing Sword!"


    Two peerlessly powerful auras collided together violently.


    At this moment, the void shattered, divine essence surging wildly. Everyone''s countenance changed visibly.


    Crack!


    Suddenly, the Junyi Sword in Ye Yuan''s hand could not withstand that terrifying pressure and actually fell apart!

 1810 Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum

    "Celestial Deity martial technique versus Divine Lord martial technique, furthermore, the two people''s martial techniques are both too strong, Ye Yuan''s weapon can''t withstand it anymore!"


    Junyi Sword''s collapse made everyone worry about Ye Yuan.


    Especially Baili Qingyan, her pretty face was already ashen pale.


    "Hahaha, see if you still don''t die!"


    When Qian Ye saw this scene, his face revealed a look of wild elation. Raising his long spear, his strength increased a bit more.


    For some time, the long spear''s momentum was akin to a startled flock of ducks, thoroughly overwhelming Ye Yuan.


    That violent spear momentum already arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan withstood the tremendous pressure, his expression very ugly. But he gave a cold snort and said, "You''re happy too early!"


    As he said, a sword intent that was faintly discernible spread out from Ye Yuan''s body.


    In virtually an instant, those shattered Junyi Sword fragments seemed to have been activated.


    In midair, the pieces of fragments seemed to be stars that filled the sky; incomparably dazzling.


    "Sword intent akin to silk!"


    Jiang Hong and the woodcutter both blurted out, extremely surprised.


    Clearly, this scene exceeded their expectations.


    "Kill!"


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, those countless stars turned into flowing streams of light, rushing over toward Qian Ye.


    Qian Ye''s expression suddenly changed. His world power could not stop the assault of those fragments at all.


    For a moment, Qian Ye felt as if there were tens of millions of swords rushing over towards him from all directions.


    Although his long spear was sharp, its momentum was already formed and could not be withdrawn at all anymore!


    Qian Ye clenched his teeth and shouted fiercely, "Want to kill me, you have to die too! Arghh ��"


    This sudden change exceeded everyone''s expectations. It naturally also included Qian Ye.


    He was aware that he could not withstand it and planned to perish together with Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Qian Ye''s long spear shook, shocking away countless fragments. But there were still many fragments and punctured right into his body, turning his entire person into a sieve.


    However, Ye Yuan was not any better either. This spear was too domineering, Ye Yuan still could not block it completely in the end.


    Golden light flickered on Ye Yuan''s body, blue patterns swimming, but he flew out backward under the tremendous impact.


    After the intense showdown, both people fell to the ground, life and death unknown.


    "Sword intent akin to silk, this kid �� actually reached such a realm!" Jiang Hong looked at the Ye Yuan on the ground, eyes full of shock.


    After Sword Daw law reached a transcendent realm, it did not reach the end.


    When a martial artist''s application of sword intent was sublimated once more, it could reach the realm of sword intent akin to silk.


    Legends had it that when Sword Dao law was cultivated to the extreme, grass and vegetation could be used as swords, one did not need any mystic treasure at all.


    With a wave of a hand, it was all sword intent.


    Ye Yuan reaching the realm of sword intent akin to silk was already taking a solid step towards the Great Dao of Sword.


    The woodcutter''s shock was no less than Jiang Hong''s.


    He also did not think that not seeing for 200 years, Ye Yuan''s strength was actually already so daunting.


    This kind of talent was truly rare in the world!


    On the stage, Qian Ye''s entire person was convulsing.


    His body was already riddled full of holes. But with the might of Celestial Deity Realms, it was naturally not so easy to die.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan''s finger moved and he actually slowly got up, and walked over toward Qian Ye.


    Jiang Hong''s expression changed, Ye Yuan was going to kill people!


    Jiang Hong''s figure moved, blocked in front of Ye Yuan, and said in a solemn voice, "Enough, you''ve already enjoyed all the limelight today. Leave it at that! The crime of you killing Zhong Hanlin, I''ll ask the sect for leniency. I believe that with your talent, the sect won''t do anything to you."


    Qian Ye was Heavenly Bud Peak''s top genius, and existence who even had hopes of breaking through to the True God Realm, he could not allow Qian Ye to be killed.


    A Zhong Hanlin already died today, if Qian Ye died too, Heavenly Bud Peak''s young generation would surely have a missing generation.


    Although Ye Yuan''s talent made Jiang Hong covet endlessly, Jiang Hong also understood that wanting to let Ye Yuan belong under Heavenly Bud Peak was already impossible.


    If Ye Yuan was really willing to come, forget about one Qian Ye, even ten Qian Ye, he would not bat an eyelid too.


    Ye Yuan was full of injuries all over his body. Even lifting his arm was difficult.


    But he stood stubbornly and said coldly, "I said before, he must die today!"


    Jiang Hong''s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, "Kid, don''t go too far! This seat''s patience has a limit!"


    Ye Yuan did not show any weakness. Looking straight into Jiang Hong''s eyes, he said with a cold smile, "Elder Jiang is a skill-imparting elder. Then pray tell, what kind of crime is it to do harm to fellow disciples during the entrance examination? Also, sending me to Firecloud Peak to die with despicable means, what crime is that?"


    Jiang Hong''s expression could not help choking and he said with a frown, "But you''re still standing here perfectly fine now! Furthermore, Zhong Hanlin was already killed by you, this matter �� can stop here already!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Zhong Hanlin was merely a clown jumping around! If not for Qian Ye stopping me, I''d have killed him at Shadowmoon Mountain Range. The real culprit is Qian Ye!"


    Jiang Hong felt that Ye Yuan was somewhat pestering unreasonably already and said angrily, "Enough! This seat is here today. Could it be that you still want to kill people with the likes of you?"


    Ye Yuan smiled miserably and said, "If I hadn''t exhibited my strength, it serves me right to be toyed to death by Qian Ye, is that it? Their lives are more valuable than others?"


    Jiang Hong said coolly, "Otherwise? This is a world where the strong reigns supreme. Without strength, you can only be eliminated! Withdraw, it''s impossible for you to kill him today!"


    The woodcutter gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a sigh, "Ye Yuan, forget it. Qian Ye is Heavenly Bud Peak''s lifeblood, Jiang Hong won''t let you kill him."


    The woodcutter could naturally tell that Jiang Hong was unshakable in his resolve to protect Qian Ye.


    Even if he acted, it would not work too.


    Moreover, even if this matter was escalated up the sect, it was also Ye Yuan''s fault.


    Ye Yuan killing a Zhong Hanlin was already unjustifiable. Killing another Qian Ye would be too much.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Hong and suddenly smiled.


    When Jiang Hong saw Ye Yuan''s smile, he suddenly had a bad feeling.


    Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent as he said, "Huhu, I, Ye Yuan, will definitely carry out what I said! If I want him to die, he must die!"


    Jiang Hong''s brows furrowed, feeling that Ye Yuan was rather unreasonable.


    He flicked his sleeves grandly. Qian Ye''s body flew towards Elder Tao involuntarily who said lightly, "Bring him to go treat his wounds!"


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan, revealing rather reluctant looks.


    He had done so much, but in the end, he still could not kill Qian Ye.


    It can''t be helped. There was a True God powerhouse taking action. No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, he was also unable to change the outcome.


    Jiang Hong looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "Killing Qian Ye, you can give up on this! Just for your attitude, if Woodcutter wasn''t here today, no matter how great your talent is, this seat will also kill you!"


    Ye Yuan''s gaze suddenly became sharp and he said coldly, "I heard that as long as someone sounds the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, they can request the sect to do one thing. Elder Jiang, I wonder if �� it can make the sect kill him like this?"

 1811 Nine Great Skill-Imparting Elders

    Jiang Hong reacted very quickly and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum? Heh, do you think that the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum is the same as the Jadelight Drum you sounded during the entrance examination? Let me tell you, that Jadelight Drum only had restrictions added. That''s why you all could sound it! Otherwise, you all, these people who entered the sect, none of you can think about sounding it!"


    Ye Yuan heard after entering the sect that the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was the Shadowmoon Sect''s ultimate treasure.


    Seven drums emerging together could practically exterminate empyrean-level powerhouses!


    This treasure was not a true god mystic treasure, but a genuine empyrean spirit treasure!


    These seven drums, each article was a peak true god mystic treasure. But combined together, it would become a genuine empyrean spirit treasure!


    Of course, the prerequisite was that someone could sound all of them.


    The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was left behind by the Shadowmoon Sect''s founding ancestor who set a rule, anyone who could sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, the entire sect had to do their sect to help him fulfill one wish.


    But, ever since the founding father, no one had accomplished it before for millions of years.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually shot his mouth off, saying that he was going to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum. Wasn''t this turning himself into a laughingstock?


    "This guy prides himself on having astonishing talent, truly overestimating his ability too much!"


    "Heh, since time immemorial, how many overwhelmingly talented people wanted to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum. But no one could do it. What right does he have?"


    "Ignorant fool, doesn''t know what kind of existence the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum is at all and he dares to talk wildly."


    ...


    The moment Ye Yuan''s words came out of his mouth, it immediately attracted a series of ridicules.


    The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was the Shadowmoon Sect''s holy artifact. In the course of time, no one wanted to overestimate their ability to go and beat it already.


    But now, there was actually a guy who talked wildly, saying that he was going to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    The woodcutter leaped and arrived on the ring, and he said to Ye Yuan, "Kid, stop messing around. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, even Sect Master can''t sound it too. It''s �� impossible for you to sound it. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. This enmity, let''s avenge it again in the future."


    Even he also thought that Ye Yuan saying this was merely words said in anger.


    Once the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum sounded, that was to have the power of the entire sect from top to bottom help him fulfill one wish.


    Such a massive favor, using it to kill Qian Ye was simply using a cannon to kill mosquitoes. This was wasting fine material for petty use.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan said sternly, "I''m not messing around! I said that I''m going to kill him, it means that I must kill! Benevolence toward enemies is cruelty to yourself! This drum, I''m definitely sounding it!"


    Everyone did not think that Ye Yuan''s attitude was actually so resolute.


    ...


    Seven Stars Valley, the Shadowmoon Sect''s forbidden land, also the place holding the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    At this time, the nine great skill-imparting elders were gathered in one hall.


    Quite a few people used unfriendly gazes to look at that figure in front of them.


    "Humph! Nonsensical brat, to actually want to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum!" Heavenly Heart Peak''s skill-imparting elder said unhappily.


    "A brat still wet behind his ears is actually going to trouble us nine great skill-imparting elders to gather together, what haughty airs!" Heavenly Rush Peak''s skill-imparting elder similarly said unhappily.


    "Woodcutter, you''re sure that you want to accompany this kid and go nuts? If this kid can''t even sound three times, not only will he have to be exiled to Remorse Cliff, you''ll also have to suffer heavy punishment!" Tianzhu Peak''s skill-imparting elder looked at the woodcutter deeply and said.


    Opening up the Seven Stars Valley required nine great skill-imparting elders to gather.


    They each controlled a part of the spell. Only nine stars gathering together could open the Seven Stars Valley.


    Being so troublesome was naturally in order to prevent outsiders from intruding.


    But, in order to prevent disciples from having malicious fun, the sect naturally set strict rules too.


    If the disciple beating the drum was unable to sound it three times, not only did they have to be punished severely, even their peak''s skill-imparting elder would also have to suffer heavy punishment.


    Hence, before disciples entered the Seven Stars Valley, they must get their own peak''s skill-imparting elder''s approval.


    Ye Yuan''s talent naturally went without saying. The woodcutter had long approved of him already.


    It was just that these three drumbeats were also not that easy to achieve.


    The woodcutter said coolly, "Don''t you worry! With Ye Yuan''s talent, even if he can''t sound seven drumbeats, three drumbeats are absolutely not a problem."


    Tianzhu Peak''s skill-imparting elder laughed mockingly and said, "You''re also too confident in this brat. For so many years, not one disciple could sound three drumbeats!"


    The woodcutter chuckled and said, "Ye Yuan is different from them! Enough nonsense, open up the Seven Stars Valley!"


    The moment nine great True God powerhouses released their auras, just that pressure made Ye Yuan''s complexion turn pale.


    True God Realm was too powerful!


    Nine beams of light rose from the ground up and shot straight into nine points.


    Rumble!


    The Seven Stars Valley''s restrictions slowly opened under these nine beams of light.


    Ye Yuan looked at the woodcutter''s figure, eyes full of gratitude.


    The incident this time somewhat deviated from his expectations.


    If not for the woodcutter''s words, he would really die very horribly this time.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and slowly walked into the Seven Stars Valley. The nine great skill-imparting elders also followed closely behind.


    Upon entering the Seven Stars Valley, a piercing cold gale blew over.


    Ye Yuan was caught by surprise and was nearly blown away.


    This scene landing in the eyes of several skill-imparting elders, they naturally felt even more disdain.


    "Heh, an outer-sect disciple beating the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, it''s really the first time in the sect''s history. To talk about overestimating one''s own ability, this seat will yield to this brat!" Jiang Hong looked at Ye Yuan and said with a scornful look.


    Ye Yuan''s goal was drumming the drum. It was in order to kill Qian Ye.


    Among these nine great skill-imparting elders, the sight of Ye Yuan naturally turned him off the most.


    While Ye Yuan''s talent was astonishing, he could not wait for Ye Yuan to be shocked to death by the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum right now.


    The woodcutter said coolly, "Jiang Hong, I know that you''re very covetous of Ye Yuan right now. Heh heh, you all, these guys who came from large sects, all look down on those who came from small sects, all look down on my Tianying Peak. But you all don''t know, true geniuses tend to come out of small sects! Just like myself. Back then, I chopped those so-called proud children of heaven dazed and confused with an ax. That''s how I have today. While today, Ye Yuan similarly used his strength to make you all regret your actions back then!"


    Woodcutter''s words made the other eight great skill-imparting elders'' faces turn black.


    The woodcutter back then was indeed a legend of the Shadowmoon Sect.


    He came out of an unknown small sect, carried an ax, and swept across the so-called proud children of heaven back then.


    Later, the woodcutter was the same as Ye Yuan, being squeezed out to Tianying Peak.


    But he did not grumble about anything, carrying an ax and chopped wood every single day.


    Chopping day in and day out, chopping year in and year out.


    He was laughed at by god knows how many people, spurned by no idea how many.


    All the way until one day, a powerful aura burst through the horizon.


    He, the woodcutter, broke through to True God!

 1812 Five Drumbeats

    Auspicious clouds intertwined between the drums, portraying an enormous ladle shape. It was precisely the shape of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    Seven huge drums combined together; the might of that aura made Ye Yuan shudder with fear.


    The Jadelight Drum that was drummed when entering the sect compared to now simply paled in comparison.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that if one''s prowess was up to par, the power of the seven drums sounding together could probably level a sub-peak to the ground.


    It was also Ye Yuan''s first time seeing an attack-type empyrean spirit treasure. The power of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum also made him secretly astonished.


    Regardless of whether it was the World Suppressing Stele or the Soul Suppressing Pearl, they were both very gentle. But this Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was filled with an offensive aura, making people palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    "Scared silly, right, kid? However, the Seven Stars Valley has already opened. You already have no regret medicine that you can eat," Tianzhu Peak''s skill-imparting elder said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "There has never been the word ''regret'' in my dictionary."


    Ye Yuan leaped and flew toward the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    Arriving in front of it, Ye Yuan felt as if he arrived inside a vortex of laws. The power of laws from all directions were all assailing him.


    For a moment, Ye Yuan seemed to have walked into a turbulent flow and could not even stabilize his figure; teetering on his feet.


    "Haha, that kid doesn''t know anything and he dares to challenge the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum! Woodcutter, I think that you probably suffered a big loss this time!" said an elder with a big laugh when he saw Ye Yuan''s distressed state.


    The woodcutter gave a cold snort but did not refute.


    If Ye Yuan was in this state, it was likely really hard to complete three drumbeats. He was also faintly worried.


    But right at this time, a profound aura on Ye Yuan''s body gradually spread.


    The moment this aura emerged, those violent turbulent flows immediately calmed down. Ye Yuan''s figure also immediately stabilized.


    When the group of elders saw this scene, all of them had strange expressions, clearly being quite surprised.


    No matter how high one''s talent was, without corresponding strength, it was also pointless.


    For example, a Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artist was incredibly talented and even had the possibility of reaching the True God Realm in the future.


    But without the support of strength, when facing the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, it was very dangerous.


    These skill-imparting elders had all before drummed the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum and were deeply aware of its might.


    However, Ye Yuan''s next move gave them an even bigger scare that they turned pale.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan form his fingers as a sword and directly pointed toward the Jadelight Drum.


    Dong!


    The Jadelight Drum was sounded without any hindrance!


    The drumbeat shook the heavens, instantly sweeping throughout the entire Seven Stars Valley.


    However, Ye Yuan did not stop in the slightest. He pointed a finger out again.


    Dong!


    The second Sun Opening Drum was also sounded!


    Dong!


    Ye Yuan pointed a third finger out, the Jade Scale Drum was sounded!


    Three drumbeats in a row made all of the skill-imparting elders'' faces change.


    "How did this kid do it? Even if it''s me, it''s also impossible to do it as effortlessly as him!"


    "This old man sounded three drumbeats back then, but I only barely managed to do it after failing several dozen times. He did it on the first try?"


    When the woodcutter saw everyone''s astonished expressions, he could not resist laughing loudly and said, "Your Father said that Ye Yuan is different from the others! How is it, are you surprised? Haha ��"


    The woodcutter had always been a maverick and did not get along with the other skill-imparting elders.


    Now, seeing them get deflated, he could not help feeling immensely pleased.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan pointed a fourth finger out!


    But this time, he did not succeed.


    It was only to see his mouth spray blood wildly, figure flying out backward, already injured by the Heavenly Authority Drum.


    The woodcutter''s face changed, directly firing out a stream of world power, catching Ye Yuan.


    When the other elders saw this scene, each and every one of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Just now, Ye Yuan amazed the world with a single brilliant feat really gave them a big scare.


    The main reason was that Ye Yuan beat the drums too casually. It was as if these drums were like Ye Yuan''s toys.


    There was that instant where they virtually thought that Ye Yuan could really sound the seven drums.


    Only all the way until Ye Yuan was injured did they suddenly realize that beating the drums was not that easy for Ye Yuan.


    Although these skill-imparting elders were high above the masses, their strength no idea how many times stronger than Ye Yuan, they still did not escape the boundary of humans and still had seven emotions and six desires.


    They were all once peerless geniuses, presently top experts.


    Everyone was all unable to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, they were all very at peace in their hearts.


    But now, someone wanted to break this balance and ride above them, they could not quite accept it in the depths of their hearts.


    The woodcutter asked rather worriedly, "Are you alright, Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Looks like I underestimated the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum! Heh heh, indeed well-deserving of being an empyrean spirit treasure, strong enough!"


    Ye Yuan discovered that these seven drums were completely not independent entities, being able to sound one means being able to sound the next.


    When Ye Yuan sounded the Sun Opening Drum, he discovered that the Great Dao aura coming from it grew more than ten times stronger than before!


    While the Jade Scale Drum was also more than ten times stronger than the Sun Opening Drum.


    This was also to say that when Ye Yuan sounded the Jade Scale Drum, the countershock-force was already a hundred times stronger than the Jadelight Drum!


    That fourth Heavenly Authority Drum was a thousand times!


    Moreover, the power of this Jadelight Drum was completely overwhelming.


    This terrifying increment was not what ordinary people could withstand at all.


    The woodcutter urged and said, "Looks like you felt it too. The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum is a whole, the more you drum, the stronger it gets, and the greater the amplitude too. Reaching the last Heavenly Pivot Drum, that backlash-force is not what the average person can imagine at all. Ye Yuan, don''t push it. You''ve already proven your talent now. Even if you withdraw, no one will look down on you too!"


    He was optimistic about Ye Yuan''s future but did not look well on Ye Yuan being able to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    This kind of thing was not what human strength could accomplish at all.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan could really do it in the future, but right now, he definitely could not.


    Ye Yuan struggled to get up and shook his head as he said, "No matter how difficult this drum is to sound, I''ll also sound it today!"


    Finished talking, he leaped and arrived high up in the sky once more.


    After preparing for a while, Ye Yuan attacked once more!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    After three drums, Ye Yuan was knocked flying again.


    But he was not discouraged. After a period of adjustment, he made his move once more!


    Attempting, failed. Trying again, failed again; rinse and repeat.


    Ye Yuan''s stubbornness did not cause the elders to be moved.


    On the contrary, they mocked Ye Yuan''s overestimation of his ability even more.


    "This brat''s physical body is also strong. If it were others, they would have long died several times over."


    "Heh, some things can''t be done by relying on effort."


    "Reckless and blind fool, really wasting time. Best that it shocks him to death!"


    "This kid only has the strength of three drums, still not conceding to it is also a waste of time."


    ...


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    That elder''s voice had just faded when the fourth and five drumbeats sounded in a row after several dozen attempts.

 1813 Enlightening the Benighted!

    "I �� I didn''t die! Hahaha, I didn''t die!"


    The feeling of those countless fragments piercing into the body was still vivid in his mind until now.


    At that moment, he thought that he was dead for sure.


    Except, he did not expect that he was actually saved.


    By the side, Elder Tao said in a solemn voice, "Relax, Elder Jiang Hong personally moving out this time, no one can kill you!"


    A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Ye''s eyes. For his sake, an skill-imparting elder actually personally took action.


    This showed that his standing in the skill-imparting elder''s eyes and heart was still very high.


    Skill-imparting elders normally came and went like shadows. They all, these disciples, could not get in contact with them at all and also did not know what the main peak''s intentions were.


    The matters normally were all handled by Elder Tao, this Antehall elder.


    "There''s actually such a thing! When this matter''s limelight blows over, I want to thank Elder Jiang Hong. I wonder if I''ll have the luck," Qian Ye said excitedly.


    Elder Tao''s expression was slightly grim as he said, "You''d better not be happy too early. Today, our Heavenly Bud Peak''s face was utterly lost. It was all caused by the Soaring Flower lineage. Elder Jiang Hong taking action to save you was merely being forced against his will. In the future, you have to cultivate hard and earn back our Heavenly Bud Peak''s face. His elderly self will naturally be happy."


    The moment Qian Ye heard, the excitement from earlier immediately dissipated into thin air.


    "Ye Yuan that punk, d-didn''t die?" Qian Ye said with a baleful look.


    "Die? Heh heh! Your business isn''t over yet!" Elder Tao laughed as he said with a sardonic face.


    Qian Ye was taken aback when he heard that and said, "Not over yet?"


    Elder Yao recounted the matter of Ye Yuan beating the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, Qian Ye could not help bursting into laughter when he heard it.


    "Haha, this kid is also really a genius, to actually think of using this method to make me die! I admit that his talent is very high, but no matter how high, he''s also merely a Divine Lord Realm, he can sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum?"


    When Qian Ye heard Ye Yuan''s ''foolish'' actions, disdain was written all over his face.


    How could someone possibly accomplish this kind of thing?


    Elder Tao chuckled and said, "This kid is also a stubborn mule who can''t be pulled back by eight horses. You don''t know, but everyone''s gazes when looking at him back then was like looking at a fool."


    Elder Tao also disliked Ye Yuan, this incredibly stubborn fellow, very much.


    He and Qian Ye exchanged a glance and both started laughing loudly.


    Dong!


    Elder Tao and Qian Ye were currently laughing away. When they heard this drumbeat, their faces suddenly changed.


    Especially Qian Ye, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    "Elder Tao, what �� what �� drumbeat is this?"


    In Qian Ye''s voice was a tremor that could not be concealed.


    Elder Tao''s expression was also very ugly. His gaze revealed a look of shock and he said, "No idea how many people have sounded the drums in Shadowmoon Sect, but I''ve heard of someone who could transmit the drumbeat out of the Seven Stars Valley!"


    Qian Ye''s experience and knowledge were inferior to Elder Tao''s after all. Hearing Elder Tao''s words, he immediately turned ashen pale.


    "Then �� Then he �� wouldn''t ��"


    Qian Ye felt his mouth and throat turn parch. That smug appearance just now could not be found at all.


    Dong!


    His voice had yet to fade when another earth-shaking drumbeat sounded out.


    This sound was even louder than the one before.


    At the same time, the entire Shadowmoon Sect was shocked.


    It was still their first time hearing such a terrifying drum sound outside of the Seven Stars Valley.


    This drum sound was like the muffled thunder in the sky as if it was heaven''s furious roar.


    The sound of it could be heard clearly in every corner of the Shadowmoon Sect.


    Everyone at the main peak, the nine great sub-peaks, the several hundred stray peaks, including every inch of Shadowmoon Mountain Range''s earth, could hear this drumbeat.


    People slowly walked out of the halls, walked out of the abodes, gazes looking over in the direction of the Seven Stars Valley.


    As Shadowmoon Sect disciples, they naturally knew what this drumbeat signified.


    They were only concerned just how many times this drumbeat could sound out.


    At this moment, each of their divine essence was seething, becoming incessantly surging along with this drumbeat.


    This drumbeat seemed to have activated their bloodlines.


    Quite a number of people actually started breaking through in the midst of this drumbeat.


    Dong!


    The third drumbeat sounded out, the expression on Baili Qingyan''s face could not hide the pleasant surprise and idolization.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister, I''ve long told you that his edge can''t be stopped. Yet you didn''t believe it!"


    Baili Qingyan did not turn around, she knew that Jiang Xueyan already arrived behind her.


    Jiang Xueyan''s gaze revealed an extremely complicated look. Finally, she let out a sigh and said, "Silly lass, if he goes to the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he''ll be your number one enemy!"


    Baili Qingyan''s face revealed an extremely relieved look as she smiled and said, "So what? In this life, my zither strings are stirred by him!"


    Jiang Xueyan''s gaze flickered incessantly. Finally, she still turned around and left.


    Walking a few steps, she said softly, "Silly girl, can your affection really be rewarded?"


    Finished talking, she turned around and left.


    Dong!


    The fourth drumbeat sounded out without a surprise.


    Inside an area of void at the main peak, an old man slowly opened both eyes, his gaze incomparably deep.


    "I didn''t expect that in this world, there''s actually really someone who can sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum!"


    Dong!


    Dong!


    The fifth and sixth drumbeats sounded out.


    Inside the Seven Stars Valley, the nine great skill-imparting elders looked at this scene incomparably shocked, their surging emotions unable to calm down for a long time.


    They were the closest to the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, the shock of these drumbeats, they felt it the strongest.


    That wave after wave of Great Dao aura made them feel as if Heavenly Dao descended.


    That shock simply could not use words to describe.


    "This �� is the true power of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum!"


    "I really can''t imagine just how terrifying the attack power will be once a True God Realm sounds this drumbeat!"


    "How on earth �� did this kid do it? He released all of the Great Dao power inside the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum. That''s how it triggered the entire Shadowmoon Sect''s resonance!"


    "After going out this time, this old man will be going into seclusion! This drumbeat enlightens the benighted!"


    ...


    This drumbeat seemed to have magical power, making their entire person have a feeling of being reborn anew.


    The woodcutter''s shock was not the slightest bit less than the rest.


    He looked at Ye Yuan''s back view, feeling that it was infinitely tall and big.


    He knew that Ye Yuan''s talent was extremely strong, with his potential being immense. But he did not think that Ye Yuan was actually strong to this extent.


    Strong to the point where it made him somewhat afraid!


    The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum that had never sounded in the Shadowmoon Sect echoed above the Shadowmoon Sect at this moment.


    The first drumbeat dissipated after the drumbeats at the back appeared.


    The second was similarly like so.


    At this moment, six drumbeats could be heard clearly and distinguished clearly.


    Dong!


    Finally, the last drumbeat fell!


    The entire Shadowmoon Sect started trembling.


    Seven drumbeats like seven thunderclaps, they reverberated in the sky above the Shadowmoon Sect continuously.


    Not only were there no signs of dissipating, but there was also a trend of becoming louder and louder instead.


    Everyone was listening attentively, everyone was using their hearts to feel, and everyone was devoting their full attention to understanding it.


    This drumbeat was extraordinary!

 1814 Entire Sect Gaining Enlightenment on Dao

    This drumbeat to others was endless benefits.


    But to him, it was the final death knell.


    "E-Elder Tao, s-save me!"


    Qian Ye pulled Elder Tao''s arm with a look of despair.


    Just now, everyone was still waiting to see Ye Yuan make a fool of himself. No one would take Ye Yuan''s obsession seriously.


    Who knew that in a twinkle, the Big Dipper Seven Stars'' drumbeat echoed in the sky above the Shadowmoon Sect.


    Elder Tao was still in the midst of shock currently and did not come back to his senses for a long time.


    Qian Ye shook repeatedly before he suddenly snapped back to reality.


    "What did you say?" Elder Tao asked like he woke up from a dream.


    Qian Ye directly knelt in front of Elder Tao and cried, "S-Save me! Elder Tao, I don''t want to die!"


    When the seventh drumbeat sounded out, his entire person broke down.


    There was only a thought in his mind right now, that was to keep living.


    Elder Tao''s face suddenly fell and he kicked Qian Ye to the ground and said in a cold voice, "You fool, what kind of existence did you provoke?!"


    Qian Ye had tears strewn all over his face as he said weepingly, "I �� How could I have known that �� he could actually sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum?"


    Currently, he regretted it until his intestines turned green. If he had long known that it would be like this, he would not go and rear his head even if beaten to death back then,


    The ones who fell out with Ye Yuan were not just him, Qian Ye, there was also the Cloudsword lineage and Immortal Abode lineage.


    But, only he was the bird who took the lead, wanting to kill Ye Yuan several times.


    Especially the first ambush, it nearly almost killed Ye Yuan.


    And this also thoroughly enraged Ye Yuan.


    Qian Ye naturally did not think that Ye Yuan could do anything to him. Just a mere Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, even if a genius, who knew how long it would take to grow up too.


    But how could he have thought that Ye Yuan only used 200 years and possessed the strength to kill him?


    What was even more damning was that after Jiang Hong made a move, Ye Yuan still stubbornly wanted to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    As a result �� he succeeded ��


    He actually succeeded!


    How did the current Elder Tao still have that doting look? Rage was all over his face.


    Elder Tao''s current mentality was already totally different from before.


    Previously, he only took Ye Yuan''s stubbornness as a joke and waited to watch the show.


    But now, Ye Yuan proved his terrifying talent. This was equivalent to provoking an incredibly powerful foe for the Soaring Flower lineage.


    The Soaring Flower lineage might very likely be suppressed in the sect because of this in the future.


    The situation of three lineages in a tripartite balance of forces will be broken very soon.


    Originally, a Baili Qingyan emerging from the Immortal Abode lineage already put a lot of pressure on the Soaring Flower lineage.


    Now, things were good, one disaster piled on after another.


    Qian Ye collapsed to the ground with a thud, his entire person seemed to have been drained.


    Elder Tao gave him a pitiful glance. Suddenly, his tone eased up and he said coolly, "Relax, the temptation of sounding the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum is too great. That''s the entire sect from top to bottom owing him a favor. Using such great favor to kill people, I believe that that kid won''t be so foolish."


    ...


    After seven drumbeats, it did not dissipate right away. The sound reverberated above the sky of the Shadowmoon Sect, lingering on.


    The Shadowmoon Sect disciples practically all entered cultivation states under this drumbeat.


    The Great Dao this drum sound contained complemented that cultivation method and was greatly beneficial to them.


    One had to know, the Shadowmoon Sect had already established the sect for no idea how many tens of thousands of years. This was the first time the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was sounded.


    Passed this village and there would be no such shop anymore.


    Even the nine great skill-imparting elders also all entered a state of comprehension at this time.


    The Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum was an empyrean spirit treasure. The Great Dao contained inside could be said to be a supreme treasure to them.


    Rather, Ye Yuan seemed a little bored at this time.


    His entire body was already drenched in sweat. Beating the drums was not so easy.


    Empyrean spirit treasure, even a True God powerhouse could not beat it. If not for Ye Yuan being in possession of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, he absolutely could not sound it too.


    Even so, Ye Yuan also expended tremendous effort before sounding the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    After recovering for a while, Ye Yuan felt a little bored.


    He reckoned that right now, the entire Shadowmoon Sect was in the midst of comprehension, it was impossible for anyone to come and acknowledge him.


    As for Qian Ye, he was not worried.


    He knew that under this situation currently, no matter how foolish the Soaring Flower lineage''s people were, they also did not dare to let Qian Ye go anymore.


    Hence, he simply started cultivating on the spot.


    This drumbeat reverberated for an entire month''s time.


    During this one month''s time, the Shadowmoon Sect was in great jubilation from top to bottom.


    Quite a few people directly broke through realms after hearing the drumbeat.


    Finally, the drumbeat gradually dissipated. The skill-imparting elders also woke up from meditation.


    Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan was already totally different.


    They knew that the entire Shadowmoon Sect from top to bottom owed Ye Yuan a massive favor.


    This favor was because of the ancestor''s ancestral teachings.


    The significance of this drumbeat to the Shadowmoon Sect was too great!


    Jiang Hong''s gaze suddenly turned intent, and he cried out in shock, "Woodcutter, you gained enlightenment again?"


    When everyone heard this, they all looked over toward the woodcutter, each and every one of them turning pale with fright.


    The woodcutter''s aura was much stronger than it was a month ago.


    Clearly, the benefits that he obtained from this drum sound was much more than the others.


    One had to know, reaching their boundary, even a tiny bit of improvement was extremely hard to come by.


    The woodcutter chuckled and said, "Such a great opportunity, how can Your Father let it go easily? Comparing talent, Your Father isn''t as talented as Ye Yuan. But compared to the few of you, it''s still more than sufficient."


    When the other few people heard the woodcutter''s arrogant words, each and every one of their faces became black like the bottom of a pot.


    Right at this time, a middle-aged man in azure dao-robes slowly walked out of the void.


    Seeing the arrival, the nine great skill-imparting elders immediately adjusted their clothing and went forward to welcome.


    "Paying respects to Sect Master!" the nine people said in unison.


    The middle-aged man slowly nodded and said, "Mn, the few of you have worked hard!"


    The nine people hurriedly said, "Dare not!"


    The middle-aged man''s gaze went past the nine people and looked at the Ye Yuan in the distance.


    Ye Yuan also bowed and said respectfully, "Ye Yuan pays respect to Sect Master!"


    Ye Yuan could feel that this middle-aged man''s aura was even more unfathomable than the nine great skill-imparting elders.


    It seemed like this Shadowmoon Sect''s foundation was really deep!


    The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "Since my Shadowmoon Sect was established, I can''t tell how many people wanted to sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, but no one has ever succeeded before. I really didn''t expect that it was actually sounded by a Divine Lord Realm youngster. Ye Yuan, the ancestor''s last order, we dare not defy. Now, you can say out your wish. Of course, if you haven''t thought of it yet, you can say again later."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I''ve thought about it long ago. Ye Yuan has no other request and only wants to kill Qian Ye!"

 1815 Tit For Ta

    The other nine people all used eyes like looking at a fool to look at Ye Yuan.


    This guy was really stubborn!


    "Ye Yuan, do you know what sounding this Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum means? The entire sect from top to bottom, regardless of which cultivation method, martial technique, medicinal pill you want, even if you want this sect master to personally take action, it''s not a problem. As long as it''s something that the sect can do, this sect master won''t refuse!"


    The sect master thought that Ye Yuan did not know what sounding the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum signified and deliberately reminded Ye Yuan.


    The nine great skill-imparting elders also all looked toward Ye Yuan. They felt that the sect master''s explanation was already detailed enough.


    They felt that Ye Yuan would not use such a big favor to do this sort of silly thing.


    However, Ye Yuan said firmly, "Thank you, Sect Master, for the reminder. Ye Yuan only has one request; that''s to take Qian Ye''s life!"


    The sect master frowned and looked at Jiang Hong.


    Jiang Hong understood the sect master''s meaning. His expression was also very ugly and he briefly recounted the conflict between Ye Yuan and Qian Ye.


    After the sect master listened, he could not help falling silent.


    Ye Yuan was not in a hurry either, quietly waiting for the sect master''s reply.


    After a moment, the sect master slowly opened his mouth and said, "Ye Yuan, why not �� you reconsider it. This is a one-in-a-blue-moon opportunity for you. A measly little Qian Ye is just a passerby on your road to greatness. Using such a big favor to exchange for his life, it''s not worth it."


    Finished talking, the sect master looked at Ye Yuan calmly. He felt that Ye Yuan was a clever person and should know how to make his choice.


    However, Ye Yuan''s performance disappointed him.


    It was only to see the corners of Ye Yuan''s mouth reveal a hint of a sneering expression as he said coolly, "Sect Master, don''t use this kind of high-sounding words to dodge it. Putting it bluntly, you merely can''t bear to part with Qian Ye, this genius disciple, that''s all. Lord Sect Master, you cannot �� have the best of both worlds!"


    The moment these words came out, the nine great elders'' faces all changed.


    Jiang Hong even reproached him, saying, "Insolence! Boy, how do you speak to the sect master?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I''m just telling the truth!"


    The sect master''s expression was also a little unsightly. While this boy''s talent was great, he was also too arrogant.


    But he had to admit that Ye Yuan this kid was not easy to hoodwink.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, he could not bear to kill Qian Ye.


    Standing from his perspective, naturally the more geniuses, the better for the sect.


    Every genius concerned the sect''s future, so he wanted to have the best of both worlds.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan was even harder to deal with than he imagined, seeing through his intentions at a glance.


    For some time, the scene was somewhat awkward.


    The sect master''s face fell and he said, "If I say no?"


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected and shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, "The sect talks like letting out a fart. This kind of sect, I feel that there isn''t anything left for me."


    The sect master''s aura turned heavy and he said in a cold voice, "So, if I don''t agree, you''re planning on betraying the sect?"


    It was not that he definitely could not kill Qian Ye, but Ye Yuan''s words put him somewhat on the spot.


    In the Shadowmoon Sect, he could control everything. But Ye Yuan''s appearance made him have a feeling of not being able to control.


    This feeling made him very displeased.


    Even so, Ye Yuan sounded the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "Sect Master''s words aren''t appropriate! It''s not that I want to betray the sect, but it''s the sect that abandoned me. Qian Ye wanted to kill me several times, but the sect refused to deal with it. I had a fair fight with him and won, and was stopped by the skill-imparting elder. I sounded the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum for this and in the end, I still can''t get a fair result! Pray tell, Sect Master, what does such a sect have for me to stay on?"


    Ye Yuan spoke righteously, rendering the sect master speechless.


    The woodcutter saw that the sect master''s expression became uglier and uglier. He could not resist to reprimand Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, don''t talk nonsense! Lord Sect Master is also thinking of the sect''s long-term future!"


    Ye Yuan said, being neither obsequiously nor haughtily, "Elder''s life-saving grace, Ye Yuan will never forget it. But this Ye touches his own heart and feel that this Ye''s contributions to the sect far exceed Qian Ye''s. I only ask for the sect to give a chance to be treated fairly! Ye Yuan knows that the words of the lowly carry little weight. If Sect Master doesn''t allow it, you can very well kill this Ye!"


    The nine great elders were all dumbfounded listening to Ye Yuan''s words.


    This kid was also too lawless!


    The sect master''s expression became increasingly uglier and he said in a cold voice, "Do you think that your talent is exceptional and this sect master doesn''t dare to kill you?"


    Ye Yuan did not speak and met the sect master''s gaze, not backing down in the slightest.


    Clearly, he expressed his standpoint.


    The sect master gritted his teeth and said, "Good, very good! My Shadowmoon Sect really produced a disciple with backbone! This sect master wants to see how tough your bones are!"


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan''s entire person seemed to have fallen into an ice-cellar. A horrifying pressure descended upon his body, making him unable to even breathe.


    However, Ye Yuan stood firm, clenched his jaws tight, eyes staring firmly at the sect master.


    Feeling Ye Yuan''s gaze, the sect master became even angrier.


    He was just about to increase the power when suddenly, darkness descended. The sect master''s horrifying pressure seemed to have fallen into darkness.


    Ye Yuan felt the pressure on his body lighten, his entire person seemingly hauled out of the water.


    The sect master''s expression changed, and he exclaimed, "M-Martial Uncle!"


    A cold snort came out of the void and said, "Zhou Qing, you, this sect master, is really declining with each passing day! Are you trying to disrespect your forefathers?"


    The sect master''s face changed and he hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Zhou Qing dare not!"


    "Humph! You even dare to defy the ancestor''s ancestral instructions, what do you still not dare to do?" Another cold snort came out of the void, clearly very displeased with Zhou Qing''s way of doing things.


    Zhou Qing''s expression was incomparably ugly. He did not think that this matter actually startled Martial Uncle.


    His elderly self was the Shadowmoon Sect''s last trump card. Normally, he stayed in closed-seclusion and did not come out, and had never asked about the sect''s matters.


    This time, for Ye Yuan''s sake, he actually acted!


    The nine great skill-imparting elders exchanged glances. They did not know that there was actually still such an existence in the sect.


    Zhou Qing was deeply aware of this martial uncle''s terrifyingness and naturally did not dare to defy. He could only explain himself, "Zhou Qing is �� is also looking out for the sect!"


    A cold laugh came out of the void and said, "Zhou Qing, you''re really declining with each passing day! You think about yourself back then. How many geniuses'' corpses did you step on to walk over? The sect''s supreme powerhouse, the sect only needs one and that''s enough! A genius who can sound the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum, you actually wanted to murder him for your face? Are you mad?"


    Zhou Qing''s expression changed again and again. Finally, he lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Martial Uncle, Zhou Qing knows that I was wrong! Zhou Qing knows what should be done!"


    "Although this old man doesn''t ask about worldly affairs, I also know a thing or two about the sect''s matters. Originally, struggles between factions is a good thing. But now, the sect from top to bottom has already been befouled with a foul atmosphere by the struggle of factions. And you actually even gave the green light for it! Zhou Qing, all �� the best to you!"


    Done talking, there was no more sound in the void.

 1816 Breakthrough

    "Isn''t that so? If requesting the sect master to take action, one can probably even kill a True God powerhouse. He actually used it to kill a First Firmament Celestial Deity."


    "Really capricious! The thoughts of a genius are really not what we mortals can understand."


    ...


    Qian Ye finally still died. Under Zhou Qing''s word of command, Qian Ye''s head hit the ground.


    It was just that this matter was simply incomprehensible to the sect''s disciples.


    Just like a mortal suddenly had a chance to request ten carts of gold one day, but he only asked for a copper coin.


    Just a massive opportunity, everyone yearned for it in their sleep, but it was cast aside by Ye Yuan like an old shoe.


    Except, they did not know that the wish they sought after assiduously was no big deal in Ye Yuan''s eyes.


    Cultivation methods, martial techniques, medicinal pills, all did not have much attraction to Ye Yuan.


    And after that day, the Shadowmoon Sect returned to tranquility once more.


    Sect Master Zhou Qing and the nine great skill-imparting elders collectively entered a retreat. The drum sound this time held extraordinary significance to them. They needed closed-seclusion to slowly digest their gains.


    Quite a few disciples also chose to enter a retreat.


    For some time, the Shadowmoon Sect appeared much more deserted.


    A melodious zither sound echoed in the sky above Firecloud Peak, gentle and melodious.


    Deep love flowed within this zither sound. It was completely different from the beauty and poignance the last time.


    The zither followed the heart. If the mood of the person playing the zither was different, the music played would naturally be completely different too.


    A figure seemed to have been attracted by the zither sound and slowly walked up to the summit.


    With a song ending, Baili Qingyan said with faint resentment, "This song was owed to you. Now, I paid it back to you."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Baili is indeed unparalleled in zither skills. Looks like this condition raised back then was still really worth it."


    Baili Qingyan nibbled her lips lightly. Her face slightly red as she opened her mouth and said, "You scoundrel, still exactly as hateful!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard it and said baffledly, "Why does praising you become hateful? Could it be that I should say that Miss Baili''s zither skills are awful?"


    Baili Qingyan spat and said, "You dare?!"


    Ye Yuan was speechless. Waving his hand, he said, "Alright, alright, I didn''t say anything. Since I''ve already heard the zither sound, then the two of us are squared."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said coolly, "The sect has nothing that they can give me. So to me, this favor''s only function was to be used to kill Qian Ye."


    Baili Qingyan was taken back when she heard that and looked at Ye Yuan with a contemptuous face.


    This guy really bragged without coming up with a draft!


    The Shadowmoon Sect was a True God level sect, no idea how many people wanted to enter the sect but could not. But Ye Yuan said that the sect had nothing they could give him.


    "Since the sect has nothing to give you, then why you did you enter the sect?" Baili Qingyan said with a contemptuous look.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "I entered the sect naturally for the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s spot."


    Baili Qingyan''s brows raised up and she said, "This Baili Qingyan must be in the Celestial Deity Realm to take part. You''re merely a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord right now. You definitely can''t catch up this time."


    Actually, Baili Qingyan also felt that it was somewhat a pity for Ye Yuan. His strength was clearly already qualified enough to take part, but with his realm not reaching the requirement, he could not participate at all.


    In ten years'' time, wanting to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm was simply a fool''s talk.


    If Ye Yuan was a half-step Celestial Deity right now, then everything could naturally be discussed.


    It was just too bad that he was only a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm is very easy to me."


    Baili Qingyan was speechless, this guy was simply an egomaniac.


    "Okay, then I''ll wait and see if you can break through to the Celestial Deity Realm within ten year''s time." Baili Qingyan could not be bothered to argue and just waited to see the joke.


    She admitted that Ye Yuan''s talent was outstanding, but Ye Yuan''s cultivation speed was not considered fast.


    In front of her, Ye Yuan''s speed was pretty much the same as ordinary geniuses.


    Even she, Baili Qingyan, also could not break through to become a First Firmament Celestial Deity from a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord in ten years.


    It was naturally even more impossible for Ye Yuan.


    ...


    After Baili Qingyan left, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion to assail Celestial Deity Realm.


    These 200 years'' time, Ye Yuan did many things. Among them included creating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s fifth level cultivation method.


    Actually, ever since breaking through to Divine Lord Realm, Ye Yuan already started deducing the Chaos Heavenspan Canon''s follow-up cultivation method and finally created it during the last 200 years.


    Having passed the fourth level cultivation method, this great hurdle, this fifth level cultivation method was relatively much easier.


    Creating the fifth level cultivation method showed that Ye Yuan was already very clear about the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Breaking through was merely a matter of water flowing when the channel formed.


    The Celestial Deity Realm that was as difficult as ascending to heaven to others, it was not that complicated to Ye Yuan.


    With the Obstructed Tillage Spirit Vein around, Ye Yuan did not worry about the lack of spiritual energy at all and did not even need to borrow the power of medicinal pills.


    Ten years passed in a twinkle.


    On this day, the three great fierce beasts were currently cultivating when suddenly, a powerful aura came over from the direction of Ye Yuan''s abode.


    "Here to make trouble again? This time, it''s a First Firmament Celestial Deity again. Go, let''s go take good care of this fellow," the old bear said.


    "Heh, thanks to this kid, our strengths have improved greatly now! Got to watch this gate well. Otherwise, if this kid chases us away someday, it wouldn''t be good," the old deer said.


    The three people talked for a moment, figures rushing away.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    The three beasts'' figures landed, and they were immediately incomparably shocked.


    They felt the aura of a First Firmament Celestial Deity and even thought that it was an outsider intruding. They did not expect that this person was actually Ye Yuan!


    "Kid, you �� You actually broke through to Celestial Deity Realm!" The old bear opened its eyes wide, eyes full of disbelief.


    Ten years ago, Ye Yuan was still only a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord.


    Ten years later, he was actually already First Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Celestial Deity Realm seemed to be too worthless, right?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "Mn, just broke through not long ago. I see that you all have been very attentive and watchful these few years. So I took the time to refine a few medicinal pills. Take them as your reward."


    The old bear waved its bear claw and said, "No need, your humans'' medicinal pills. We can''t use them."


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It''s demon divine pills."


    The old bear said in surprise, "You, a human, actually know how to refine demon divine pills?"


    Ye Yuan casually threw out a few pills. The three beasts caught them and took a look, and nearly dropped them onto the ground with a tremble of their hands.


    The old bear cried out in surprise, "Ten Heart Pill! Divine-grade! This �� This medicinal pill was refined by you?"


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Not refined by me, then could it be refined by you? I just happened to have some Ten Heart Pill''s spirit medicines on hand and refined it for you guys."


    When at the Tyrant Origin Imperial City back then, Ye Yuan practically got everything he asked for. So he also casually picked up some rank five spirit medicines.


    Although they were not some rare spirit medicines, refining a few Ten Heart Pills could still be done.

 1817 Spo

    "His strength is too weak. He''s also playing a supporting role by going. In my view, might as well let Ye Yuan go!"


    "What a pity, Ye Yuan''s strength can absolutely go to the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, but he''s unable to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm."


    ...


    On the plaza in front of the main peak''s great hall, the entire sect was sending off the disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave.


    There were a total of four disciples taking part in the Baili Qingyan. They were respectively Baili Qingyan, Jiang Xueyan, Yi Qingxiang, and Song Ting.


    Originally, Song Ting had no chance to participate in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. But Qian Ye''s death gave him a chance.


    Within the scope of the age allowed, picking the best person available, there was only Song Ting remaining.


    Song Ting broke through and became a First Firmament Celestial Deity more than a hundred years ago. Presently, his strength already could not be compared to what it used to be.


    The current Song Ting appeared to be in high and vigorous spirits. No matter what, being able to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was also a very glorious thing.


    At least, the Devil Elephant lineage would benefit along with him.


    "Heh, so what if Ye Yuan''s talent is outstanding? At least in this season, he has no hopes of participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave!"


    Song Ting was pleased with himself inwardly.


    He knew that him participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was hard to convince the masses. But with Ye Yuan failing to live up to expectations, who could be blamed?


    Over there, Baili Qingyan''s beautiful eyes scanned the crowd, as if searching for something.


    Jiang Xueyan smiled coldly when she heard that and said, "Stop looking. It''s impossible for that kid to appear. Breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm in 10 years, nobody can do this sort of thing. Or is it that you feel that he''ll come to see you off?"


    Baili Qingyan said quietly, "He said before that he''ll break through!"


    No idea why, even though Baili Qingyan herself did not believe it, she still looked forward to Ye Yuan succeeding.


    Sometimes, human psychology was so wondrous.


    Jiang Xueyan pursed her lips and said scornfully, "Although that kid''s law comprehensions is formidable, his cultivation speed isn''t considered fast. With his cultivation speed, it''s simply impossible to cultivate to become a First Firmament Celestial Deity from a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. Don''t you know about this?"


    But Baili Qingyan insisted and said, "Others can''t, maybe �� he really can?"


    Participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time, the one leading the team was the Canopy Peak''s skill-imparting elder, Xu Yan.


    This time, Canopy Peak had two disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. He, as the skill-imparting elder, naturally felt proud.


    He gave a few words of encouragement on the plaza, flicked his sleeves grandly, and said, "Set off!"


    Baili Qingyan''s expression turned dim and she let out a soft sigh, "He still didn''t come in the end!"


    Finished talking, she followed Xu Yan and flew high into the sky.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Right at this time, a figure leaped into the air, blocking the few people''s path.


    "It''s Ye Yuan! He �� He actually broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    "Truly inconceivable! In just 10 years'' time, he broke through two realms in a row, reaching the Celestial Deity Realm!"


    "Heh heh, with this, Song Ting is probably feeling awful in his heart, right? The cooked duck suddenly flew."


    "Serves him right! This guy looks like a scoundrel who realized his ambitions all day long ever since obtaining the qualifications of the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave."


    ...


    Song Ting''s expression was incomparably ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually broke through at the final juncture!


    This way, his Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave qualifications would definitely be revoked.


    This kind of thing, he really found it a little hard to accept.


    Jiang Xueyan''s expression was also not much better than Song Ting''s.


    She was still mocking Ye Yuan just now, saying that there was no way he could break through to Celestial Deity Realm.


    In the end, her voice had yet to fade and Ye Yuan appeared in front of her in the manner of a Celestial Deity Realm.


    Baili Qingyan had a surprised expression on her face. She did not expect that Ye Yuan really did it.


    Ten years ago, Ye Yuan said that he could break through to the Celestial Deity Realm. She did not believe it at all.


    This guy was simply a freak!


    From the Divine Lord Realm to the Celestial Deity Realm, this hurdle, many people spent several tens of thousands of years and found it difficult to break through.


    Ye Yuan was exceptional. He did it in ten years.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xu Yan and said, "Elder Xu, I want to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave."


    Xu Yan looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished look and said with a nod, "I didn''t expect that you actually broke through at the last juncture. You really surprised this old man! Since you already broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm, then everything can naturally be discussed. With your strength, you should naturally obtain a spot."


    Hearing this, the expression on Song Ting''s face was incomparably ugly.


    He went through numerous fights and eliminated many powerhouses of the same generation before obtaining this spot.


    In the end, a word from Xu Yan revoked him.


    Now, he already rose into the sky. But had to return to the main peak again, those people below were probably all watching the joke, right?


    What a big loss of face!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with clasped hands, "Many thanks, Elder Xu. But this disciple has long broken through. It''s just that I made a trip to the Medicine Refining Hall, that''s why it took some time."


    Xu Yan was rather surprised as he said, "You just broke through and shouldn''t need medicinal pills. What did you go to the Medicine Refining Hall for?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that geniuses gather at the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time. There are even some sects'' disciples who already broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity. So I specially went to refine a medicinal pill for Senior Apprentice Sister Baili."


    Baili Qingyan was extremely surprised when she heard that. Ye Yuan actually refined a pill for her!


    Xu Yan said in surprise, "You even know how to refine pills?"


    Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Know a thing or two."


    As he said, Ye Yuan passed a small bottle to Baili Qingyan and said, "With Senior Apprentice Sister''s aptitude, swallow this Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill and you should be able to break through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity."


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    Even though Baili Qingyan''s talent was outstanding, after breaking through to the Celestial Deity Realm, the speed of her realm improvement also clearly slowed down.


    These 200 years'' time, she only barely managed to cultivate to late-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity. There was still a way off from the peak.


    But Ye Yuan said that this medicinal pill could make Baili Qingyan directly break through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Was this medicinal pill so magical?


    Baili Qingyan opened the small bottle puzzledly. A burst of medicinal fragrance rose into the sky. She opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, "D-Divine-grade Jadethaw Purpleheart Pil!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat, keep staring blankly and the medicinal effect will weaken!"


    Baili Qingyan was slightly startled and hurriedly swallowed the medicinal pill.


    Xu Yan looked at Ye Yuan in incomparable shock. He already could not use words to describe his feelings at this time.


    Not only did this boy''s strength surpass others, his talent outstanding, but his pill refining skill was also impressive too!


    Not long after Baili Qingyan consumed the medicinal pill, the aura on her body started climbing frenziedly, rushing toward Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    "Broke through! Really broke through! My God, the medicinal effect of this medicinal pill is also too strong, right?"


    "With this, Senior Apprentice Sister Baili''s strength is going to soar a great deal. The hopes of our Shadowmoon Sect seizing a spot also greatly increased!"


    "This Ye Yuan brought us pleasant surprises time after time! This guy is really remarkable!"


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Baili Qingyan''s really broke through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity just like that!

 1818 Whatever You Say

    Xu Yan took out a token and threw it into the ocean.


    When that token fell into the water, it immediately turned into a streak of white light and disappeared.


    Not long after, a small rowboat was faintly discernible, traveling over from the surface of the sea.


    On the small boat, a youth in white stood on the bow, suave and elegant.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze turned intent. This youth in white was not old, but he was already a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    It seemed like this Bamboo Groove Divine Temple indeed lived up to its reputation!


    But, thinking about it, Ye Yuan also felt relieved.


    The Bamboo Groove Divine Temple gathered the entire Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s most talented figures.


    Those able to enter, their talents were probably not beneath Baili Qingyan''s. They might even be stronger.


    This kind of powerful talent, coupled with the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s top-notch resources, cultivation speed being fast was also within reason.


    "Zhu Wen pays respect to Elder Xu."


    That youth in white clasped his hands at Xu Yan and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    But Xu Yan greeted with a smile as he said, "Huhu, turns out that it''s Honorable Nephew Zhu! Not seeing for a thousand years, Honorable Nephew Zhu''s cultivation advances with each passing day!"


    Zhu Wen smiled faintly and said, "The cultivation of the divine temple, outsiders can''t imagine it at all. Zhu Wen''s bit of improvement is nothing."


    Between the lines of Zhu Wen''s words exuded arrogance everywhere.


    As if the martial artists outside of the divine temple were all lice.


    Xu Yan''s expression was somewhat awkward as he smiled and said, "That''s of course! Our Bamboo Groove Void Realm hails the divine temple with veneration. This place is a holyland. A genius like Honorable Nephew Zhu is one in ten thousand."


    Zhu Wen had a smug look on his face. Sweeping a glance behind Xu Yan, he said with disdain, "You even brought a guy who just broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm. Looks like your Shadowmoon Sect really has no successors!"


    These words, Zhu Wen said them looking at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just broke through not long ago, his aura was much weaker compared to the others.


    With one glance, one would know that he just broke through not long.


    Celestial Deity Realm, the disparity of each minor realm was tremendous. In order to facilitate the distinction, each minor realm would have initial-stage, middle-stage, late-stage, as well as peak, four stages.


    And Ye Yuan''s aura, one look and it was initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, so Zhu Wen was very disdainful.


    Except, as soon as these words came out, the few people including Xu Yan all revealed strange looks.


    When Zhu Wen saw the few people''s reactions, he could not help getting a little annoyed.


    At this time, shouldn''t they be indignant, but dare not speak up?


    His face could not help turning dark and said, "Why? Could it be that I said wrongly?"


    Xu Yan appeared slightly awkward as he smiled and said, "Right, what Honorable Nephew Zhu said is correct!"


    Although he said so, how could Zhu Wen not hear the mockery in Xu Yan''s words?


    Xu Yan was implying: you came from the divine temple, whatever you say then.


    Rather, it was Baili Qingyan who pursed her lips and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu had best not be too confident. When Ye Yuan enters the divine temple, surpassing you shouldn''t take too long."


    The moment Zhu Wen heard, he immediately flew off the handle and said with a cold smile, "Heh, this junior apprentice sister has such high-sounding sentiments! It''s just that your Shadowmoon Sect seems to not have anyone enter the divine temple for ten consecutive seasons already, right? Where in the world did your confidence come from?"


    For close to ten thousand years, the Shadowmoon Sect''s performance in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave got worse and worse.


    Among Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s 14 True God level powerful sects, only five people could enter the divine temple in the end. This struggle was very fierce.


    Among these 14 True God level sects, the Shadowmoon Sect was only in the middle to lower reaches.


    Some major sects prospered with each passing day, each season, there would be someone entering the divine temple.


    But sects like the Shadowmoon Sect would naturally be looked down upon.


    This Zhu Wen was obviously very disdainful of the Shadowmoon Sect.


    This kind of sect, each time they came to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, they were all supporting casts.


    Without strength, it was very hard to gain other people''s respect.


    This rule was the same everywhere.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "The confidence of martial artists comes from powerful strength and not an unduly high opinion of oneself. After your esteemed self came, you''ve been constantly reproving the Shadowmoon Sect. Presumably, you aren''t living very well in the divine temple, right?"


    Ye Yuan''s words made Zhu Wen''s expression change.


    Ye Yuan really hit the mark!


    To the outside world, the divine temple was a holyland.


    Entering the divine temple represented resplendent glory.


    But in reality, the competition within the temple was extremely cruel too. Naturally they could not dispense with the survival of the fittest.


    For Zhu Wen to be able to enter the Bamboo Groove Divine Temple, his talent naturally went without saying.


    It was just that after entering the divine temple, everyone was similarly geniuses. His previous advantages were gone too.


    You were talented, but others were more talented than you!


    Zhu Wen discovered that after entering the divine temple, although he improved with amazing speed, other people''s improvements were even faster than him, and could obtain the temple''s high regard even more.


    His days naturally became more and more difficult.


    "Insolence! Who the hell do you think you are, to dare speak to me like this?" Zhu Wen''s face fell and said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhu Wen pitifully and shook his head as he laughed in spite of himself and said, "Your esteemed self''s feelings, I can understand. So I won''t stoop to your level."


    Zhu Wen''s face became black as the bottom of a pot. This Ye Yuan really rubbed his nose in it!


    Each sentence caused a ten thousand point critical hit to him.


    Xu Yan also felt his anger vented in his heart. These few years, every time they took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, the Shadowmoon Sect would be treated differently.


    Regardless of whether it was the temple''s disciples or other sects, few thought highly of the Shadowmoon Sect.


    But no choice, the temple was sublime, he could only tuck his tail between his legs and behave.


    Seeing Zhu Wen get deflated, he was naturally secretly pleased in his heart.


    However, he was also secretly startled by Ye Yuan''s observational power.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan guessed Zhu Wen''s situation correctly.


    The temple was incomparably mysterious and never opened up to the outside world.


    The people outside never knew what was happening inside.


    Even the heads of True God level sects also did not know anything about the temple.


    But nobody doubted the temple''s power.


    So the divine temple''s disciples, even if only Celestial Deity Realm, had always been high and lofty too.


    Being critiqued by them a little, they all, these skill-imparting elders, could only endure it too.


    But Ye Yuan could perceive so many things through only a few sentences. It was truly remarkable.


    "All shut up for me! Honorable Nephew Zhu is a temple disciple, how can it be your turn to teach him what to do?" Xu Yan suddenly glared and scolded.


    It was just that the expression on his face not only did not have any anger at all, it instead had some approval.


    When Ye Yuan and the rest saw, they could not help secretly finding it funny.


    They knew that Xu Yan was giving Zhu Wen a way out. All of them shut their mouths sensibly.


    Xu Yan had his back to Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen could not see his expression. Seeing Xu Yan fly off the handle, his expression indeed became much better.


    However, he still gave a cold snort and said, "Ignorant thing, is the temple what you all are qualified to appraise?"


    Ye Yuan and the rest exchanged glances and said in unison, "Yes, yes, yes, whatever Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu says goes."


    Zhu Wen''s face virtually almost turned into a horse''s face[1].


    [1] Pulled a long face.

 1819 Treading on the Waves

    All around was a stretch of white fog lingering, unable to see one''s fingers when the hands were stretched out.


    Powerful restriction powers came from all around, making Ye Yuan and the rest secretly startled.


    The Bamboo Groove Divine Temple was indeed incomparably powerful. It actually turned such a vast ocean into their forbidden land.


    Nobody urged the small boat, but it just drifted on the ocean just like that.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, the small boat rocked violently. The bow of the boat swayed and actually plunged into a cloud of mist. Even if it was face to face, one could not see their companions clearly too.


    "Everyone, be careful. We are entering the restrictions storm. The undulations of the power of laws are incredible. Everybody needs to avoid the power of restrictions. Otherwise, if you fall into the Spirit Nether Sea, no one can save you!"


    From the bow, came Zhu Wen''s warning.


    Everyone''s hearts went slightly cold, each carefully avoiding the power of restrictions.


    No idea how long had passed either. The party finally passed out of the fog and returned to the normal sea.


    Suddenly, Baili Qingyan''s face changed and she said, "Where''s Ye Yuan? Ye Yuan is gone!"


    Everyone looked sideways and discovered that the Ye Yuan who was originally at the stern of the boat was really gone.


    Xu Yan''s face fell and he said, "Zhu Wen, this kind of thing had never happened before in the past, what''s going on here?"


    How could Xu Yan still not understand? Zhu Wen had resentment arise in his heart and deliberately set up a stumble, sending Ye Yuan down.


    Unknowingly, Xu Yan even changed his term of address.


    Ye Yuan was this Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s latent growth stock. Xu Yan thought very highly of him. Now that he was gone, how could he not be angry?


    When Ye Yuan was a Ninth Firmament Divine Lord, he could only fight with the First Firmament Celestial Deity Realm Qian Ye until neither could gain the upper-hand. Now that he broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm, his strength would really be hard to gauge.


    But Xu Yan felt that Ye Yuan should have no problem matching up against Second Firmament Celestial Deities.


    As for how far he could go, it was really hard to tell.


    Such a great black horse was actually gone now, Xu Yan''s entire person felt dreadful.


    He naturally did it on purpose. This Spirit Nether Sea, outsiders did not know, but he was very familiar with it.


    Zhu Wen deliberately went off course and had a small contact with the restriction.


    And the place of contact was precisely the stern of the boat where Ye Yuan was at.


    The stern was naturally also the place where the law undulations were the strongest.


    Baili Qingyan''s eyes turned red and she said angrily, "You''re despicable and shameless! Turn around right now for me, I''m going to look for Ye Yuan!"


    But Zhu Wen shook his head and said, "Can''t find anymore. This Spirit Nether Sea changes myriad of times in a twinkle. Dropping into the sea, he would definitely trigger the power of restrictions, it''s already impossible to come back."


    Baili Qingyan''s eyes turned red and she said angrily, "I �� I''ll fight it out with you!"


    Zhu Wen said coolly, "If you want to make everyone be buried together with you, then feel free to give it a try!"


    Xu Yan grabbed hold of Baili Qingyan and said in a cold voice, "Don''t be rash, wait until we get ashore before talking!"


    Baili Qingyan''s tears rolled down. But she was unable to resist the powerful Xu Yan and could only give up.


    But her gaze when looking at Zhu Wen was icy-cold.


    But Zhu Wen smiled coldly in his heart. Toward Baili Qingyan''s threat, he did not take it to heart at all.


    Although Baili Qingyan''s strength was decent, wanting to pass the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was still a little forceful.


    As long as she could not enter the temple, there was nothing to discuss.


    Before long, an island appeared in everyone''s eyes.


    Stepping onto the island, Baili Qingyan immediately turned into a stream of flowing light and rushed over towards Zhu Wen.


    Zhu Wen seemed to have long expected it and casually pointed a finger out.


    "Break for me!"


    Zhu Wen gave a cold cry. Baili Qingyan only felt a tremendous force transmit over, directly being knocked flying back.


    The disparity between Zhu Wen and her was too great!


    "Humph! Overestimating your own ability! If not looking on the account of Elder Xu''s face, I''d have killed you just now!" Zhu Wen said with a cold snort.


    Baili Qingyan looked at Zhu Wen coldly and said in a chilly voice, "Just you wait, there will come a day where I''ll take revenge for Ye Yuan!"


    Zhu Wen pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "That will have to depend on whether you can pass the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave or not! But in my view, the hope isn''t big."


    Xu Yan also felt a wave of anger well up in his heart and he said in a solemn voice, "Zhu Wen, you''re too much! Today''s matter, I''ll definitely report it to Lord Envoy and request him to uphold justice."


    But Zhu Wen did not care at all and just said with a faint smile, "Go ahead!"


    Seeing Zhu Wen''s attitude, Xu Yan''s heart also sunk.


    In front of the temple, they all, these True God powerhouses, really did not have any right to speak at all!


    "Eh? You guys look, there seems to be someone on the Spirit Nether Sea!" Yi Qingxiang suddenly said.


    Everyone''s face changed, looking over in the direction Yi Qingxiang pointed at. Sure enough, they discovered that a small black dot was currently closing in on here.


    Although everyone''s eyesight was excellent, the sea was foggy, they could not see the actual situation too.


    "Could it be �� Ye Yuan?" Xu Yan said in surprise.


    Zhu Wen''s expression similarly changed, both eyes narrowing into a line, seemingly wanting to see through the fog.


    But, there was indeed a black figure swaying about inside the fog, currently coming towards the shore.


    "This �� How is this possible?" Zhu Wen said with an astonished look.


    When Baili Qingyan saw the flickering figure, she was immediately overjoyed.


    "It''s definitely Ye Yuan! It must be Ye Yuan!" Baili Qingyan said excitedly.


    That figure got closer and closer, the outline also became clearer and clearer.


    In the end, everyone could see a slightly thin figure currently speeding like the wind over to this side, sweeping up waves.


    And he came treading on the waves.


    "It''s real! He didn''t die! He really didn''t die!" The agitated Baili Qingyan was somewhat incoherent in speech.


    But, at this time, no one paid attention to these.


    All of the people including Xu Yan were all inexplicably in shock.


    "This �� This is impossible! Apart from the temple''s disciples, no one has ever been able to pass through the Spirit Nether Sea! He �� How did he do it?"


    Zhu Wen had a look of disbelief. This scene in front of him was seriously too fantastical.


    Ye Yuan stepped on massive waves and walked over leisurely like he was a surfer.


    "You can''t, doesn''t mean Ye Yuan can''t! Now, you must be very disappointed, right?"


    Baili Qingyan smiled coldly, her gaze looking at Zhu Wen was full of disdain.


    Seeing Zhu Wen''s expression, she was also incomparably delighted in her heart.


    In her heart, the temple had always been an extremely sacred place; incomparably holy.


    But now, seeing Zhu Wen''s performance, she had a trace of wavering in her heart.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan took a step and flew to the shore.


    Baili Qingyan burst into tears of joy. She immediately pounced forward and started sobbing.


    Ye Yuan was also struck dumb with amazement by this scene. But he still lightly patted Baili Qingyan''s shoulder and consoled, "It''s fine, it''s all over."

 1820 Exposing

    The corners of Zhu Wen''s mouth twitched, finally recovering with the shock. He seemed slightly awkward as he laughed dryly twice and said, "I already said, that ��that was just an accident."


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "You''re really very weak. So what if it was deliberate? Your gaze is flickered all over the place, and you don''t even dare to look straight into my eyes. A person like you doesn''t even have the qualifications to be a bad guy. No wonder you''re depressed and failed to achieve your ambition at the temple."


    A cold aura crept out when Ye Yuan was saying this.


    Zhu Wen looked at Ye Yuan angrily, somewhat turning angry from the initial embarrassment.


    Zhu Wen gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Punk, you''re challenging my bottom-line!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Challenging your bottom-line? Then you come and kill me! Want to kill me, come openly and aboveboard. With your strength, I''m not a match. See, you don''t dare again. You have no status in the temple. If you kill the disciples who came to participate in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, the temple will hold you accountable. In the end, it''s still that you''re too weak!"


    "Enough! Shut up for me!" Zhu Wen said with an angry roar.


    Ye Yuan''s words struck the heart one by one, virtually about to shatter his mind.


    Xu Yan looked at the crazed Zhu Wen, incomparably shocked in his heart.


    Ye Yuan made a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse''s Dao heart almost collapse with a few words.


    This was really killing people without seeing blood!


    With Xu Yan''s eyesight, he could naturally tell that Zhu Wen''s Dao heart already reached the verge of collapse. This could inevitably cause tremendous hindrance to his future cultivation.


    Zhu Wen who was originally already struggling to stride forward in the temple, after this it was probably hard for him to stand up again this time.


    Ye Yuan shook his head as he smiled and said, "Entering the temple doesn''t mean getting it over with once and for all. One would instead enter an even more cruel environment. Even if I don''t say it out loud, your weakness cannot be changed too. A person like you doesn''t even have the qualifications to become my opponent. Elder Xu, let''s go."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan walked over toward the building on the island first.


    This place had powerful restrictions everywhere. Even True God powerhouses were unable to fly in the air too.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to come over from the Spirit Nether Sea by treading on the waves, it was not because Ye Yuan could ignore these powerful restrictions, but that the place Zhu Wen threw him at, the restrictions were too weak.


    Otherwise, it would not be throwing Ye Yuan down, but it would be him being buried with Ye Yuan.


    And along the way, Ye Yuan had pretty much grasped the Spirit Nether Sea''s restrictions long ago.


    Coupled with that there was Zhu Wen himself guiding in front, it was not that surprising for Ye Yuan to be able to come out.


    The party walked onto the island. A bunch of well-arranged palaces appeared in front of everyone.


    "Bamboo Groove Holy Realm!"


    There was an enormous archway ahead with four big characters written on it, Bamboo Groove Holy Realm.


    "It''s said that this place is just the tip of the iceberg of the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm, the only place in the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm that''s opened up to the public, and also where the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave is at," Xu Yan explained.


    Ye Yuan came to a realization and was just about to enter the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm when he heard a loud noise coming from the island.


    Bang!


    Back of the mountain, a building was directly blown up, the entire roof blown off, looking spectacular.


    Xu Yan''s face changed and he said, "What happened? Could it be that someone dares to cause trouble in the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm?"


    Ye Yuan said, "It''s fine. That should be a furnace explosion. But being able to produce such great power, the alchemist''s standard shouldn''t be weak."


    Jiang Xueyan was suddenly very curious and asked, "How is he compared to you?"


    Ever since Ye Yuan stepped into Celestial Deity Realm, Jiang Xueyan never had the idea of making things difficult for him anymore.


    She knew that Ye Yuan''s rise was already unstoppable.


    The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time, Ye Yuan''s hopes were even greater than Baili Qingyan''s.


    As for how great, no one knew right now.


    All in all, he was definitely very strong!


    The Yi Qingxiang by the side also had the same thought as Jiang Xueyan.


    He did not wish to become a second Qian Ye. Opposing Ye Yuan, that was equivalent to seeking death.


    Ye Yuan gave Jiang Xueyan a glance and said smilingly, "I''ve never blown up my furnace before. Of course, if I insist on doing it, it will at least be 100 times more powerful than this."


    Including Xu Yan, the few people''s pupils constricted.


    They had never seen before Ye Yuan''s pill refining strength. But from the medicinal pill he gave Baili Qingyan, they could tell that his strength was definitely very formidable.


    But, 100 times stronger than the explosion just now, they felt that it was somewhat fantastical.


    One had to know, inside pill refining rooms all had protective arrays. To be able to directly blow off that building''s roof was already very horrifying.


    100 times stronger than this, what kind of concept was that?


    "Tch! Ignorant fool, who do you think you are? 100 times more powerful than that just now, do you know what it means?"


    When the Zhu Wen who had been silent all along heard this, he finally could not resist jeering.


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to hear it at all, lifting his leg and leaving.


    Along the way, Zhu Wen finally managed to make his state of mind calm down a bit. Ye Yuan''s attitude made the evil fire in his heart flare up with a whoosh.


    "Hey, I''m talking to you, are you deaf?" Zhu Wen said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Are you talking to me? I only hear a dog anyhow barking."


    Zhu Wen''s face changed and he was just about to speak, but then he heard Ye Yuan continue coolly saying, "I said it before, if you don''t dare to kill me, then keep your mouth shut, so as to avoid asking for trouble!"


    Zhu Wen''s eyes seemingly spewed fire, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, "Punk, let''s wait and see! You''ll regret it one day!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips, a disdainful look on his face as he continued walking ahead.


    Under Zhu Wen''s lead, the Shadowmoon Sect party arrived at a bunch of thatched houses at the borders of the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm.


    "This is your residence!" Zhu Wen said lightly.


    Xu Yan''s face fell and he said, "Zhu Wen, you''re really too outrageous! If I didn''t remember wrongly, this should be the woodshed, right?"


    Zhu Wen pursed his lips and said, "Supporting role sects like you all still want to have any good treatment? I reckon that you guys can''t stay too long either and will be sent packing back home very soon."


    The Shadowmoon Sect''s few people were all filled with righteous indignation. This guy was clearly using his position to get even with a personal grudge.


    Ye Yuan did not care and said coolly, "Woodshed then, cultivators take the world to be their homes, why would we care about this?"


    Xu Yan''s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    This boy could have such talent, yet remain indifferent when granted favors or be subjected to humiliation.


    To be able to say these words showed that he already saw through the secular world, his heart realm reaching no idea what kind of realm already.


    Even Xu Yan was also ashamed of his inferiority.


    Ye Yuan''s words made Zhu Wen''s face turn black.


    He originally vented his pent-up feelings on some pretext. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not fall for it and even said these words.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a pink object turned into a stream of light and bored right into Ye Yuan''s embrace.


    Even Ye Yuan had a baffled look too.


    "Treasure Pig, where did you run to, Treasure Pig?" Very soon, a childish voice was heard.

 1821 Blissful Treasure Pig

    Then a little boy around five or six years old ran in front of Ye Yuan with a waddle.


    The child reached his hand out to Ye Yuan and said, "Return Treasure Pig to me!"


    Ye Yuan was taken back, grabbed hold of the little pink pig in his bosom, and passed it to the child.


    The child giggled and reached his hand out to receive the little pink pig. Taking over the little pink pig, it struggled and immediately broke free of the child''s arm, boring into Ye Yuan''s bosom again.


    The child was stunned and could not help saying furiously, "Treasure Pig, are you trying to rebel?"


    "Awoo, awoo!"


    That little pink pig clamored in Ye Yuan''s bosom and refused to come out.


    Ye Yuan was also perplexed, uncertain of what was going on.


    The kid could not help saying angrily when he heard Treasure Pig''s cries, "What the hell are you doing? A First Firmament Celestial Deity stinking brat, you actually like him? Did you eat too many medicinal pills and spoiled your head?"


    The child gave no chance to explain and directly reached his arm out to grab Treasure Pig.


    But Treasure Pig bored into Ye Yuan''s bosom desperately and refused to come out.


    Ye Yuan had a flashed of inspiration, as if understanding something, and said coolly, "You let it go, let me do it."


    Who knew that that kid did not buy it at all, and said angrily, "Brat, who the hell do you think you are? Keep being long-winded and Grandpa Tong will immediately kill you! Hurry up and return my Treasure Pig to me!"


    Ye Yuan was stunned. This child talked in a kiddish manner but had the appearance of a patronizing elder. The feeling that it gave people was extremely weird.


    But this kid''s arrogant appearance also ignited Ye Yuan''s anger.


    His brows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, "Are you letting go or not?"


    The kid raised his head and said, "I''m not letting go, what can you do to me?"


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and reached his hand out to grab, grabbing toward the child.


    That child similarly laughed coldly, figure immediately becoming illusory.


    Ye Yuan''s grab actually caught nothing!


    Ye Yuan''s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, "Spatial law!"


    The child was proud of himself as he said, "Merely a First Firmament Celestial Deity, and yet you really take yourself to be somebody noteworthy!"


    This child''s strength was very vague. Even by his side, Ye Yuan could not sense his strength too.


    It was just that this spatial law, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time seeing apart from his and Coldfeather''s.


    Furthermore, this child''s spatial law comprehension was not weak.


    The child chuckled and said, "It''s no use, your bit of ability isn''t even fit to carry shoes for your Grandpa Tong!"


    This time, he still wanted to avoid Ye Yuan''s grab through spatial law.


    It was just a pity that Ye Yuan''s grab trailed closely behind like a shadow.


    Inside the void, Ye Yuan grabbed hold of the child''s arm.


    The child turned pale with fright and cried out in surprise, "You actually know spatial law too!"


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "You wouldn''t think that only you know spatial law in this world, right? Really don''t know which family''s child, so mischievous! Today, I''ll discipline you well on behalf of your family''s grownups!"


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan allowed no explanations and put the child on his legs and smacked his buttocks.


    Children had thin skin and tender flesh, how could they withstand Ye Yuan''s iron palm?


    With a few slaps, the child burst into tears.


    "Wah! Wah! Let me go! You stinking brat, I''ll definitely kill you! Definitely kill you!"


    By the side, Zhu Wen looked at this scene, a gloating look on his face.


    "Heh heh, the evil that people brought on themselves is the hardest to bear!"


    Xu Yan''s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?"


    Zhu Wen had a smug look as he said, "That kid has always been following Elder Du Rufeng recently. Elder Du Rufeng listens and does whatever he wants. Their relationship must be extraordinary. That punk hit Elder Du Rufeng''s people now, do you think his outcome can be good?"


    The moment these words came out, Xu Yan''s expression instantly became very ugly.


    Baili Qingyan had been watching happily by the side all along. Now, hearing Zhu Wen say so, she could not resist asking, "Elder Xu, who is Elder Du Rufeng?"


    Xu Yan''s expression was ugly as he said, "Over 300 thousand years ago, he was the number one alchemist of the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s young generation! That season''s Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he entered the temple by getting the first place. Presently, he''s already a True God Realm elder."


    Baili Qingyan''s expression changed drastically. The temple''s elder, also an alchemist, this was having provoked an incredible major figure!


    Zhu Wen this kind of person could only be a minor character in the temple.


    But a rank six alchemist, that identity was absolutely extraordinary.


    She hurriedly shouted, "Ye Yuan, stop hitting!"


    Ye Yuan did not listen at all and still beat the child''s buttocks severely.


    Right then, a figure swept over here as swift as lightning.


    An old man had an imposing momentum as he looked at Ye Yuan with a furious look and bellowed loudly, "Where did this punk come from, to actually dare hit �� hit Little Tong!"


    "Ouch! So painful! My butt! Du Rufeng, h-hurry up and save me!" Little Tong cried.


    Ye Yuan really dealt heavy blows. The kid was really in pain right now.


    Ye Yuan gave Du Rufeng a glance and said coolly, "This is your family''s child?"


    Du Rufeng was taken aback and immediately nodded his head and said, "That''s right!"


    Only at this time, did Ye Yuan stop. Throwing Little Tong to Du Rufeng, he said coolly, "Your family''s child, you have to discipline him well. Acting patronizingly like an elder, wanting to kill people at the drop of a hat. This child''s talent is pretty good, he mustn''t take to evil ways."


    Du Rufeng had a peculiar expression on his face. Reaching his hand out and beckoning, he caught Little Tong.


    Little Tong shed tears and mucus, looking extremely pitiful.


    "Du �� Grandpa Du, quickly help me take a look. I can''t feel my butt now, sniff sniff ��"


    As he said, he stuck his little buttocks up, almost killing people with cuteness.


    Du Rufeng had a dark expression. Pulling down Little Tong''s pants, he discovered that the buttocks were bright red.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "You punk, really ruthless in your blows huh! Looks like you really want to die!"


    Du Rufeng raised his head, the aura of True God Realm suddenly released. Everyone''s faces changed drastically.


    But when Du Rufeng looked over toward Ye Yuan again, he discovered that he was currently squatting there, Treasure Pig wriggling into Ye Yuan''s palm extremely happily.


    "Awoo, awoo!"


    Treasure Pig''s cheerful cries made Du Rufeng have a stunned look. The powerful aura also disappeared into thin air.


    Du Rufeng looked at Little Tong with a shocked expression as he said, "Little Tong, this ��"


    Little Tong also stopped crying already, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of shock.


    Hearing Du Rufeng''s yell, he nodded his head and said in a solemn voice, "Treasure Pig he has never bleated so happily before! How did this kid do it?"


    "Grunt, grunt!"


    The pink Treasure Pig baby had a blissful appearance and finally ate all the medicinal pills in Ye Yuan''s hand. Then, his neck tilted and he collapsed on the ground, falling asleep blissfully.


    Ye Yuan picked up Treasure Pig and returned it to Little Tong and said coolly, "Little snotty brat, don''t yell about killing at every move. This little pig is clearly hungry. Just feed it to its fill and that would do it?"

 1822 Upper Groove Cour

    This Treasure Pig was notoriously difficult to serve.


    During this period of time, he racked his brains and was also unable to satisfy Treasure Pig.


    Just now, in order to refine pills, he even directly exploded the furnace upward, even blowing off the roof.


    But who would have thought that a kid who popped out of no idea where casually fed a little something and made Treasure Pig satisfied to the max.


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "Of course it''s medicinal pills. Didn''t this snotty brat say just now that this piggy likes to eat medicinal pills? I just happened to have on hand some medicinal pills that I refined in the past and fed them to him conveniently."


    Hearing Little Tong''s words, Ye Yuan had some guesses in his heart.


    This Treasure Pig might have smelled the smell of medicinal pills on his body, that was why he would tunneling into his bosom desperately.


    With an attempt, it was indeed like so.


    But Ye Yuan was very surprised, this Treasure Pig''s nose was really sharp enough.


    Looking at its appearance, it did not smell the medicinal fragrance after seeing him but smelled it from a very far away place.


    This little pink pig was very unusual!


    "Humph! Don''t think that you''re off the hook by feeding Treasure Pig to its fill! Du �� Grandpa, kill him for me! This punk actually dared to hit my buttocks! Ouch!" Little Tong pointed at Ye Yuan and said furiously.


    Du Rufeng''s face fell and he immediately exuded a murderous air.


    Xu Yan''s face changed and he immediately felt a big headache.


    Du Rufeng''s strength was far above his.


    Furthermore, even if he was worse than him, with Du Rufeng''s identity, he did not dare to make a move either.


    Ye Yuan this brat was really courting death!


    When Zhu Wen saw this scene, he was excited until he was practically about to jump up.


    But right at this time, Treasure Pig suddenly startled awake and broke free of Little Tong''s embrace with a whoosh, and blocked in front of Ye Yuan, showing its teeth at Du Rufeng.


    "Grunt! Grunt!"


    This Treasure Pig was very human-like. Everyone could see that he was venting his dissatisfaction.


    When Du Rufeng saw this scene, his originally imposing momentum immediately disappeared into thin air.


    When Little Tong saw this scene, he said in a great rage, "You stupid pig, ungrateful and forgetting my kindness! Come over here for me!"


    Treasure Pig shook its head and directly turned its head away, the appearance very arrogant.


    Little Tong jumped up angrily and said, "Angering me to death! Angering me to death! If you have the capabilities, follow this brat in the future. Don''t come and find me anymore!"


    It was just that he spoke in a childish voice and did not have any deterrence at all.


    The moment Little Tong saw, he said angrily, "You ungrateful fellow, we''re cut off!"


    Done talking, Little Tong walked off acting like an elderly, with his hands behind his back.


    Du Rufeng was frozen there. Looking at Treasure Pig and looking at Little Tong again, he had a difficult look on his face.


    Suddenly, he saw Zhu Wen by the side. His expression turned somber and he said, "You''re the disciple in charge of the Shadowmoon Sect''s daily living?"


    Zhu Wen hurriedly said, "Yes, it''s just that ��"


    Zhu Wen did not know what Du Rufeng wanted and was just about to lodge a complaint when he was immediately interrupted by Du Rufeng, "Arrange for them to stay in Upper Groove Court. Whatever requests they have, satisfy them to the best of your ability, especially that kid! If Treasure Pig were to suffer any inconveniences in this period of time, I''ll hold you accountable!"


    Zhu Wen''s expression was instantly ugly to the extreme.


    Upper Groove Court was the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm''s top residence.


    Putting aside the extravagant facilities, it was also the place where spiritual energy was the most abundant.


    Even the rank one High Clarity Sect among the dozen over True God level sects also did not have the qualifications to be hosted in the Upper Groove Court.


    Elder Du actually let the Shadowmoon Sect be hosted in Upper Groove Court for a pig.


    On what basis?!


    Forget that they were staying in Upper Groove Court, he even wanted him to handle all demands.


    Zhu Wen wished to hit his head and die right now.


    Except, Du Rufeng''s status, he was well aware.


    At this very moment, he could only swallow the knocked-out teeth into his stomach.


    "This disciple obeys!" Zhu Wen bowed and said.


    Du Rufeng completely ignored Zhu Wen and immediately turned around to go chase after Little Tong.


    Shadowmoon Sect''s people all used strange expressions to look at Zhu Wen.


    Just now, this guy still wanted to use his position to get even with a personal grudge, putting them in the woodshed to humiliate them. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, the situation had a big reversal.


    Jiang Xueyan came in front of Zhu Wen with an amused look as she opened her mouth and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu, lead the way!"


    Zhu Wen''s face became black as the bottom of the work and he said in a solemn voice, "What are you being smug for? A villain intoxication by success!"


    Jiang Xueyan giggled and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu, you have to pay attention to your words. You scold us villains, Ye Yuan won''t be happy. If he''s not happy, Treasure Pig won''t be happy. If Treasure Pig isn''t happy �� you know the consequences!"


    Seemingly affirming Jiang Xueyan''s words, Treasure Pig grunted twice in Ye Yuan''s bosom and fell asleep again.


    Zhu Wen''s face changed, stifling back a breath, almost exploding.


    The temple''s disciples had always been high and lofty in front of True God level sects.


    But today, he had to compromise out of consideration for the general interest, truly aggrieving!


    Forcefully enduring the humiliation, Zhu Wen sucked in a deep breath and said, "Follow me then!"


    ...


    Upper Groove Court compared to the woodshed was really like heaven and earth.


    This place was like a miniature palace, pavilions with flowing water, houses and courtyards, extremely ingenious.


    Upon entering Upper Groove Court, a burst of thick spiritual energy hit head-on, making the few people perk up considerably instantly.


    "There are a dozen over courtyards here. You all pick yourselves. If there''s anything, call me again."


    Finished talking, Zhu Wen was about to head outside.


    This place, he did not wish to remain for a moment.


    "Hang on!" Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Zhu Wen''s face changed and he said in a solemn voice, "Anything else?"


    "Mn?" Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, revealing a displeased look.


    Zhu Wen hated him in his heart immensely, but he could only soften his tone and say, "May I ask if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye has anything else?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That''s more like it! You wait for a moment, I''ll give you a list, you go and prepare a batch of rank five spirit medicines for me."


    The rank five spirit medicines in Ye Yuan''s hands were not many, it could not stand up to the consumption at all.


    Bamboo Groove Divine Temple was the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s top faction. Mere rank five spirit medicines shouldn''t be a problem.


    Such a good opportunity to practice now, if he did not take advantage of it, wouldn''t it be too regrettable?


    However, Zhu Wen''s face could not help turning black when he heard it and was just thinking of flaring up when suddenly, his eyeballs swiveled and he said with a nod, "Okay, I''ll wait for you!"


    Upper Groove Court was very big, the five people each picked a courtyard and Ye Yuan went to make a list.


    Before long, Ye Yuan handed the list to Zhu Wen. The moment Zhu Wen took it and looked, his eyeballs almost popped out.


    This kid was really demanding an exorbitant price!


    On the list, several hundred types of rank five spirit medicines were listed.


    Unless it was an elder level existence, otherwise, who had the authority to mobilize so many rank five spirit medicines?


    Did he really think that a pig could let him act recklessly without fear of anybody in the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm?


    One had to know, this place was the temple''s territory, the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s supreme ruler!


    Leaving Upper Groove Court, Zhu Wen said with a cold laugh, "Heh, the status of Elder Chai who is in charge of the Spirit Medicines Hall isn''t beneath Elder Du! I want to see whether or not you can rely on a pig to bear his wrath!"

 1823 The Wind Outside Is Strong, Be Careful Not to Catch a Cold

    Sure enough, the moment he saw the list, the senior apprentice brother inside got a big fright and immediately threw him outside.


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Song, these spirit medicines are not what I want! Elder Du Rufeng made me send the Shadowmoon Sect''s people to Upper Groove Court. He asked me to take good care of them and satisfy any requests. In the end, the moment they went in, they came up with this list and gave it to me, insisting on making me come and pick them up, I had no choice too!" Zhu Wen said with a distressed look.


    The moment that Senior Apprentice Brother Song heard Zhu Wen''s explanation, he could not help but wonder.


    "Elder Du Rufeng? Shadowmoon Sect? This �� What''s going on?"


    Zhu Wen smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know what''s going on? Elder Du''s orders, us disciples don''t dare to not listen either! Senior Apprentice Brother song, why not �� you report this matter to Elder Chai and let him make a final decision?"


    Senior Apprentice Brother Song''s expression turned somber, feeling that what Zhu Wen said made a lot of sense.


    The matters between the big guys, they had better be more careful/


    Hence, he brought Zhu Wen to go find Elder Chai.


    Zhu Wen repeated his words earlier and embellished the details as he said, "That kid called Ye Yuan is very arrogant in attitude, completely disregarding our temple by relying on that he has Elder Du''s golden words, and even said that if this disciple doesn''t get these spirit medicines, he''ll make this disciple get out of the temple. This disciple ��"


    Sure enough, the moment Elder Chai heard, he said in a great rage, "Insolent thing! When is the Shadowmoon Sect arrogant until it looks down on the temple? Lead the way! I want to see what right the Shadowmoon Sect has to stay in Upper Groove Court! Is Du Rufeng that old punk muddle-headed with age?"


    Seeing Elder Chai angry, Zhu Wen felt pleased with himself inwardly.


    He wanted to see who could still protect you with this!


    ...


    "Who is Ye Yuan?! Get out here for this old man!"


    Elder Chai''s roar instantly spread throughout the entire Upper Groove Court, also alarming quite a few people to come and watch.


    Xu Yan''s reaction was the fastest. The moment he came out and saw that it was the Elder Chai who was burning with rage, his expression could not help changing and he said with clasped hands, "Turns out that it''s Bother Chai Zhen! I wonder what mistake Ye Yuan has made, to cause Brother Chai Zhen to be so angered?"


    When the people who came over to watch saw Xu Yan as well as Baili Qingyan and the rest who came out in succession, each and every one of their eyes could not help popping out.


    "Isn''t this the Shadowmoon Sect''s Xu Yan? Why is their Shadowmoon Sect staying in Upper Groove Court?"


    "Reckon that they checked into Upper Groove Court without permission. This time, angering Elder Chai Zhen, there''s a good show to watch."


    ...


    These people were all here to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. When they saw that the Shadowmoon Sect actually checked into Upper Groove Court, each and every one was extremely surprised.


    Shadowmoon Sect was just middle-lower standard among the True God level sects. How did they have the qualifications to stay in Upper Groove Court?


    Reckon that it was them checking in without authorization and was found out by Chai Zhen, that was why he would fly into a great rage.


    This Chai Zhen was famed for being hot-tempered. Each and every one of them harbored the emotions of watching a show and onlooking.


    Smack!


    Chai Zhen immediately threw the list onto Xu Yan''s face, not giving him, this True God Realm elder, the least bit of face, and said in a solemn voice, "What mistake he made? You take a look yourself! This punk called Ye Yuan really take the temple to be your Shadowmoon Sect? The moment he opened his mouth, it''s several hundred kinds of rank five spirit medicines. What high-sounding sentiments! Also, who the hell are you guys, to actually dare stay in Upper Groove Court? Right now! Immediately! Right away! Get out of here for me!"


    Xu Yan took the list and had a look, his mouth unable to close for a long time.


    He thought that Ye Yuan just casually wanted some spirit medicines. He did not expect that the moment Ye Yuan asked for it, it was several hundred kinds.


    Did this kid really think that the temple''s spirit medicines were roadside cabbages?


    Xu Yan''s expression was somewhat awkward as he said, "This �� There''s probably some misunderstanding involved. But us staying in Upper Groove Court was personally said by Elder Du Rufeng."


    When Chai Zhen heard this, his face turned black, and said, "Xu Yan, are you using Du Rufeng to pressure me? Do you feel that in this Bamboo Groove Holy Realm, I still have to be kept in check by him?"


    Xu Yan''s face changed and knew that he said the wrong thing.


    He had also heard before that this Chai Zhen was hot-tempered.


    With this, it was not easy to clean up the mess.


    "Brother Chai Zhen, calm your anger. This Xu doesn''t mean that," Xu Yan hurriedly said.


    Chai Zhen flicked his sleeves grandly and said with a cold snort, "Regardless whether you mean it or not, right now, immediately, get lost for me right away! Within three breaths, if you guys still don''t scram, don''t blame this old man for not being courteous! One!"


    Similarly a True God powerhouse, Chai Zhen did not give Xu Yan the slightest bit of face, and immediately started counting down.


    In his eyes, Xu Yan was merely a yokel.


    Xu Yan''s expression was incomparably ugly, this guy was too unreasonable.


    Right then, Ye Yuan slowly walked out of Upper Groove Court and said with an indifferent look, "Elder Xu, since this elder asks us to move out, then let''s just move out. Oh, also, those spirit medicines, don''t give then don''t give, flying into such a big temper for what?"


    Chai Zhen''s face fell and he said, "You''re that brat called Ye Yuan?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Junior Ye Yuan, pays respect to Elder Chai."


    Chai Zhen snorted coldly and said, "A mere True God level sect''s disciple dares to be so unbridled, not having the slightest bit of respect for the temple! Today, not teaching you a lesson, you''d really think that you''re some genius!"


    Finished talking, Chai Zhen''s True God Realm aura suddenly released, reaching his hand out and grabbing at Ye Yuan.


    Chai Zhen attacked straight away, not giving Ye Yuan a chance to react at all.


    Ye Yuan only felt a power that blotted out the skies and covered the earth crushing over towards him.


    Ye Yuan''s face changed, not expecting that this guy was so unreasonable.


    Suddenly, a lump of pinkish thing tunneled out of Ye Yuan''s bosom and started grunting away at Chai Zhen.


    When Chai Zhen saw Treasure Pig, his expression could not help changing and he hurriedly pulled back and exclaimed, "T-Treasure Pig!"


    Treasure Pig bared its teeth at Chai Zhen, an appearance of sullen anger.


    Chai Zhen had an embarrassed look and said to Treasure Pig with a smile, "S-Sorry, I didn''t know that Treasure Pig, you were here."


    Treasure Pig did not seem to buy it at all and still bared its teeth at Chai Zhen.


    Chai Zhen smiled fawningly and said, "Okay, okay, I''ll go right away! I''ll go at once! That �� you all carry on staying in Upper Groove Court. Brother Xu Yan, Ye Yuan, you guys quickly go in, don''t stay outside. The wind outside is strong, be careful not to catch a cold."


    "Pfff"!


    Baili Qingyan even turned pale with fright when she saw Chai Zhen attack just now. But now she was tickled by this Chai Zhen''s behavior.


    Chai Zhen had a look of embarrassment. Suddenly, he thought of something. Smacking his head, he said with a look of realization, "Oh, right, Brother Xu Yan, return the list Ye Yuan made to me. I''ll order people to prepare it at once. Today, I''ll definitely send it over to Ye Yuan!"


    Everyone was struck senseless by Chai Zhen''s sudden change.


    Everyone was incomparably surprised, not knowing what origins this pink pig had, and what relationship it had with the Shadowmoon Sect.


    After saying all these, Chai Zhen turned around and prepared to leave, and just happened to see Zhu Wen behind him.


    Smack!


    A crisp slap sounded out, then came Chai Zhen''s bellow.


    He shouted, "You idiot! Why didn''t you tell me that Treasure Pig was here?"

 1824 He Cant Teach Me

    With Chai Zhen not saying anything, no one knew either.


    But the people knew that this pink cute piggy definitely had an extraordinary background.


    Except, no idea why this pig was so close to Ye Yuan. This made all of the sects extremely envious.


    Returning to the Spirit Medicine Hall, Chai Zhen ordered people to go prepare the spirit medicines on the list straight away. He instructed that no matter how difficult, they must prepare it by today, and then deliver it to Upper Groove Court.


    Finally, he returned to his residence, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.


    "So close, so close! Du Rufeng this damn thing, almost scammed Your Father! But why would Treasure Pig appear here? Could it be that �� that lord is also here?"


    Thinking of this, Chai Zhen could not help being alarmed into breaking out in cold sweat.


    ...


    Upper Groove Court, Ye Yuan''s residence, Treasure Pig was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Saliva even hung off the corners of its mouth, as if it was still eating delicacies in his sleep.


    This little thing was really like a pig, apart from eating, it was sleeping.


    Xu Yan looked at the asleep Treasure Pig and said with a look of awe and asked Ye Yuan softly, "What background does this little thing have, for both Du Rufeng and Chai Zhen to actually be afraid of him!"


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? But shouldn''t you be more concerned about that child?"


    Xu Yan was taken aback and said uncertainly, "You mean �� Little Tong? Isn''t he just a kid? Even though he knows spatial law, his strength seems to be ordinary, right?"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "His strength indeed isn''t strong, but don''t you forget the words he said to Treasure Pig. He might be the disciple of Treasure Pig''s master or descendant. And Treasure Pig''s owner is the true big shot!"


    Xu Yan''s face changed, he clearly did not think as deeply as Ye Yuan.


    Currently, through Ye Yuan''s tip, he was immediately startled into breaking out in cold sweat.


    To be able to make two great True God elders so fearful, then what kind of existence was the important person behind him?


    "This important person ��"


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Although the gap between True God Realm and True God Realm is similarly extremely great, to be able to make them so afraid at seeing a pet, that important person is very likely an Empyrean powerhouse!"


    "Hiss ��"


    Although he was long mentally prepared, Xu Yan was still taken aback with fright by Ye Yuan''s statement.


    Empyrean powerhouse!


    Even in the Heavenspan World, Empyrean powerhouses were absolute sovereigns in a region, an existence that rode above all life.


    True Gods and Empyreans, both were existence from two completely different worlds.


    In the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, practically no one had seen before Empyrean powerhouses.


    This was an extremely mysterious bunch, gods standing high above the masses, existences that all life looked up to.


    How could Xu Yan not be shocked?


    Actually, Ye Yuan was also deeply moved in his heart.


    As early as in the Immortal Grove World, he had already heard of Empyrean powerhouses.


    All the way until today, it was his first time being so close to an Empyrean powerhouse.


    Back then, Kun Wu and Dustless both predicted that it was absolutely impossible for him to reach the realm of Empyrean.


    But now, he did not seem to be that far away from the Empyrean Realm anymore.


    "But I can''t figure out why Treasure Pig would stick to you? It should be its first time meeting you!" Xu Yan suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Most likely, it''s aiming for the medicinal pills on me."


    Xu Yan said in puzzlement, "The medicinal pills on you? Elder Du is a Six-star Alchemy God, could the medicinal pills he refines be worse than yours? Moreover, the temple''s alchemists are also not just Du Rufeng alone. Some people''s strengths are even above his. Why would this Treasure Pig pick you?"


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, "Elder Xu, how do you want me to answer your question?"


    Xu Yan said, "Of course it''s to answer truthfully!"


    He was indeed very curious about what unique aspect Ye Yuan had, to be able to make Treasure Pig not scruple to fall out with Little Tong.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only say, "Of course it''s naturally because the quality of my medicinal pills is better than theirs."


    Xu Yan was stunned and scolded laughingly, "You punk, not coming up with a draft when you''re bragging! How can a Six-star Alchemy God''s strength be what you can imagine? Forget it, forget it, this kind of thing, maybe it''s fate."


    Ye Yuan smiled and shrugged his shoulders, and did not say anything.


    Chai Zhen''s efficiency was very high, he sent over all of the rank five spirit medicines on that very day.


    When Ye Yuan saw the dazzling array of spirit medicines, he was also beside himself with joy.


    He had always worried about the problem of spirit medicines after rank five. Wanting to become a qualified Five-star Alchemy God naturally needed large quantities of spirit medicines to practice.


    Now, with Treasure Pig, this matter was resolved with ease.


    There was still around half a month from the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. Ye Yuan could just make use of this period of time to become proficient in rank five divine pills.


    After three days, a skinny figure slipped into Upper Groove Court sneakily.


    His figure was erratic and extremely elusive.


    In a blink of an eye, he ducked into Ye Yuan''s room.


    One look and he saw the Treasure Pig drooling away on the bed, and was immediately bellowing smoke from all seven orifices from anger.


    Bang!


    "Ouch!"


    Little Tong took a step and immediately seemed to have hit into a wall, knocking until his nose ached badly.


    "This kid actually even knows how to lay down a spatial restriction! Treasure Pig is mine! What right does he have?!" Little Tong said angrily.


    Waiting for three days, Treasure Pig did not have the slightest sign of returning.


    Little Tong finally could not bear it anymore and wanted to quietly steal Treasure Pig away.


    But very clearly, he underestimated Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was extremely familiar with spatial law, how could he possibly let people break into the room?


    Right then, a layer of ripples appeared in space, Ye Yuan''s figure appeared.


    When Little Tong saw Ye Yuan, his eyes spewed fire as he said, "Punk, what''s the meaning of this? Treasure Pig is mine!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "Weren''t you going to cut off all ties with him?"


    Little Tong choked when he heard that and said with a cold snort, "That �� That was just words said in anger! Moreover, Treasure Pig following you is just feeling novel for some time. Don''t think that occasionally refining a few pretty decent quality medicinal pills, you can make Treasure Pig commit himself to you. Let me tell you, Treasure Pig''s mouth is very picky!"


    "Oh, then when it''s willing to go back, I''ll let it go back. You relax, I won''t take forcible possession of it," Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He indeed did not have the idea of making Treasure Pig his. He could not afford to raise this dainty pig. Eating medicinal pills every day, how could he afford to rear it?


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, Little Tong''s expression eased up. He then said in a childish voice, "You can refine medicinal pills that satisfy Treasure Pig, so you indeed have a lot of potential. How about this? I''ll make Du Rufeng take you in as a disciple, you just follow Du Rufeng in the future."


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and shook his head as he said, "Acknowledge him as my master? I''m not interested. He can''t teach me."


    The moment Little Tong heard, he was furious again and said, "You brat, really don''t know how to appreciate favors! You merely just broke through to Celestial Deity Realm, do you really think that you''re remarkable? Do you know how many people in Bamboo Groove Void Realm want to acknowledge Du Rufeng as master, but have no way? Who do you think you are, that even a Six-star Alchemy God can''t teach you?"


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him. Flicking his palm, several medicinal pills appeared in his palm.


    The moment the medicinal pills appeared, the sleeping Treasure Pig seemed to have been struck by lightning, turning into a streak of pink light and pouncing toward Ye Yuan.

 1825 Arousing Hostility

    Treasure Pig ate the few medicinal pills in Ye Yuan''s hand clean in no time flat.


    But Little Tong''s gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    "You �� What you fed Treasure Pig just now were void spirit divine pills?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows raised up and he said, "Eh? You, this snotty brat, still have some knowledge huh, to actually know that it''s void spirit divine pills with just a glance."


    Treasure Pig ate very quickly just now, it was just a blink of an eye but was seen clearly by Little Tong.


    Little Tong''s face revealed a hint of solemness and he said, "These medicinal pills were all refined by you?"


    Ye Yuan said speechlessly, "Not refined by me, could it be that you refined them?"


    At this time, Little Tong''s expression had a complicatedness that was not commensurate with his age.


    Clearly, he was very shocked.


    "That''s impossible! You broke through to Celestial Deity Realm at most for a few years. Such a short time, how can you possibly refine rank five void spirit divine pills?" Little Tong said in disbelief.


    It was not that void spirit divine pills were impossible to be refined. It was just that wanting to refine void spirit divine pills undoubtedly required the accumulation of a long time.


    Alchemy Dao geniuses, even if it was geniuses among geniuses, it was also impossible to comprehend the method to refine void spirit divine pills within a few year''s time.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Others can''t, doesn''t mean I can''t."


    Little Tong''s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "Impossible, I don''t believe!"


    Ye Yuan twisted Little Tong''s ear and dragged him outside.


    Little Tong was in pain and screamed, "Ouch, let me go! You punk, ate a bear''s heart or a leopard''s gall? To actually dare twist my ears!"


    Ye Yuan pursed his lips and said, "You broke into my residence without permission. I haven''t settled the scores with you yet, so what if I pinch you a little?"


    Little Tong was so angry. Yet, Ye Yuan was proficient in spatial law, he did not have the strength to fight back at all.


    At this time, Treasure Pig suddenly circled around in front of Ye Yuan and used a pitiful expression to look at him, seemingly pleading.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback, only then, letting go.


    Little Tong shot Treasure Pig a hateful glance and said huffily, "Humph! At least you still have a bit of conscience!"


    Treasure Pig seemed to be currying favor, rubbing against Little Tong''s trousers.


    Sure enough, Little Tong''s expression became much better. But he still said angrily, "Treasure Pig, you tell me now, want me or him?"


    The moment Treasure Pig he looked at Little Tong and looked at Ye Yuan, the blank face revealing a difficult look.


    Clearly, Treasure Pig could not bear to part with any.


    Little Tong said in a childish voice, "Treasure Pig is my pet, I can do whatever I want, is it your business?"


    Ye Yuan''s expression suddenly turned sharp, gaze staring at Little Tong heatedly as he said, "You''re saying that �� Treasure Pig is your pet?"


    Little Tong was stared at by Ye Yuan until he was breaking out in goosebumps a little. Holding his little head high, he said unyieldingly, "I mean that it''s my grandpa''s pet! Then isn''t it my pet?"


    Ye Yuan''s two eyes narrowed and he asked, "Who is your grandpa?"


    Little Tong pursed his lips and said, "Saying it out will scare you to death! So, I won''t tell you!"


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but according to his guesses, Little Tong''s grandpa was very likely to be an Empyrean powerhouse.


    With Little Tong not saying anything, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of forcing it. Either way, this level of powerhouse was also not what he could currently come into contact with.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "You go back then, as long as Treasure Pig is willing to leave, I won''t stop it. But, if I discover that you sneak into my residence again, it won''t be as simple as wringing your ears next time!"


    Seeing Ye Yuan''s gaze that had ill-intentions, Little Tong unconsciously touched his butt.


    Vivid in his mind!


    Little Tong thought about it and said, "I''m not leaving anymore! I want to stay together with Treasure Pig!"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed and he said, "No way!"


    However, Treasure Pig looked at Ye Yuan again pitifully, the short pigtail wagging non-stop.


    Even if Ye Yuan was decisive in going for the kill, he could not stop Treasure Pig''s cute attack too.


    He owed Treasure Pig a favor. If not for Treasure Pig, he would also be unable to refine pills to his heart''s content like now.


    Helpless, Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Fine then, but if you want to stay, you must listen to me! Things that I don''t let you do, you absolutely can''t do, understood?"


    Little Tong giggled and said, "Okay, deal! Are you going to refine pills now? I want to watch you refine pills!"


    Ye Yuan said, "Before the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, I''ll be refining pills. If you want to watch me refine pills, can, but if you disturb me, get lost at once!"


    The moment Little Tong heard, his head nodded like a rattle-drum.


    Heh, I want to see how high your pill refining standard is! You can refine rank five void spirit divine pills, this Empyrean doesn''t believe even if beaten to death! Little Tong thought in his heart.


    Upper Groove Court had an independent pill refining room. Inside, all kinds of facilities were prepared, Ye Yuan was very satisfied.


    Little Tong carried the sleeping Treasure Pig and quietly watched Ye Yuan refine pills from the side. The expression on his face became more and more solemn, and the astonishment in his heart also grew greater and greater.


    "This kid''s pill refining level is already a consummate work of art! No wonder he looks down on even Du Rufeng, saying that old punk really has no way of teaching him anything! Forget about Du Rufeng, even I, in terms of the refinement of rank five divine pills, also don''t dare to say that I''m stronger than him! This kid is just a thousand over years in bone age, how in the world did he cultivate?"


    The more Little Tong looked, the more shocked he was inward.


    Ye Yuan''s technique in refining rank five divine pills still seemed a little unfamiliarized. But it was merely relatively speaking.


    Even if he did not perform well, it was still peak heaven-grade too.


    Furthermore, along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan''s refining technique also became more and more skillful, the probability of heaven-grade also became smaller and smaller.


    On the 12th day, Little Tong said, "This kid is simply a natural-born alchemist, his improvement is too fast! This kid has absolutely already glimpsed the source Great Dao, too strong! No wonder the moment Treasure Pig saw him, he couldn''t move anymore."


    ...


    On this day, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave officially began.


    When the Shadowmoon Sect disciples walked over, they immediately attracted a series of sidelong glances.


    Especially the disciples of the High Clarity Sect, Ruyi Sect, and several powerful sects. Each and every one of their expression was unfriendly.


    "Heh heh, Yang Shen, even with your strength, you''re unable to stay in Upper Groove Court. This bunch of rookies actually check into it!"


    The person talking was called Luo Zhen, Ruyi Sect''s number one person, peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Yang Shen was the number one High Clarity Sect disciple. His cultivation was also at the peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Yang Shen''s face fell and he said, "What can staying in Upper Groove Court mean? Merely because of a pig! Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, strength decides everything! Staying in Upper Groove Court also doesn''t mean that they can enter the divine temple!"


    Luo Zhen smiled and said, "I''ve already talked with the junior brothers and sister, this time, must shave the Shadowmoon Sect bald! As long as all of us run into Shadowmoon Sect disciples, must make them lose very horribly."


    Yang Shen''s brows raised up and he said with a nod, "I also really want to see what extraordinary aspects this season''s Shadowmoon Sect disciples have!"


    These two people exchanged a glance, clearly reaching some kind of tacit agreement.


    Actually, not just them, quite a few powerful sects'' elders and disciples were all brooding on the Shadowmoon Sect staying in Upper Groove Court.

 1826 Three Moves are Too Many, Just One Move

    But everyone''s attention was on the Shadowmoon Sect, on Ye Yuan.


    Yi Qingxiang felt these gazes that had ill-intentions and could not resist somewhat feeling fear.


    "Elder Xu, why �� why are they using this kind of eyes to look at us?"


    Elder Xu said coolly, "Staying in Upper Groove Court with our strength will naturally arouse their displeasure. One has to know, even the High Clarity Sect doesn''t have the qualifications to stay in it. In a while, you guys have to be careful."


    Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan''s faces immediately became very ugly. These few days, they had all obtained considerable benefits cultivating in Upper Groove Court.


    But this benefit obtained had a price too.


    This kind of treatment that did not match one''s status was very easy to arouse other people''s displeasure.


    This was what they did not take into account previously.


    "This �� This is all Ye Yuan''s fault!" Jiang Xueyan said gloomily.


    Yi Qingxiang also complained, "Yeah, this guy just loves to stand in the limelight!"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help shaking his head and laughing in spite of himself.


    This was human nature, when it was beneficial to them, they would feel that it was natural and right. But once a problem occurred, they would feel that it was all your fault.


    But Baili Qingyan was indignant and said with a cold smile, "That day when you guys checked in, weren''t you still dancing merrily with joy? If not for Ye Yuan, you all would have to stay in the woodshed! As a True God level sect''s disciples, this is your bit of pitiful dignity?"


    At this time, Little Tong was hugging Treasure Pig had a childish voice, but behaved like a senior as he said, "Do the two of you still want face or not? Did Ye Yuan beg you guys to stay inside? Or is it that you guys feel that with your strength, as long as you''re not targeted, you can get the qualifications to enter the temple?"


    The two people could not help choking up when they heard it. This little devil was not old but did not give any face when talking.


    The two people exchanged a glance, and both fell silent.


    What Little Tong said was right, even if not targeted, it was also impossible for them to get the qualifications to enter the temple.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, Little Tong was very interested and insisted on coming no matter what.


    Each Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave would have a fixed number of 64 people participating.


    As for the allocation of places, it was allocated to the various major sects according to the sect''s strength by the temple, by taking into consideration the circumstances.


    The places of the other weaker sects reduced in turn.


    The Shadowmoon Sect possessed four spots. It was considered not few, but actually, there was basically not much hope.


    After all, among the 64 people, there were only a mere five final spots.


    The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was a fierce battle, the conclave would last for several months, even as long as a year.


    The disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave would fight battles. Every day, only five matches were carried out, all the way until all of the people finished fighting.


    Finally, the five people with the highest victory rates were eligible to enter the temple.


    This kind of fierce fighting was a test to all the disciples, and also the opportunity to all disciples.


    Disciples able to come to the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave were the best among the various major True God level sects. Not one was mediocre.


    Even those sects that were weaker similarly could not be underestimated.


    In the matches in the past, there was no lack of examples of some powerful sects'' disciples being brought down by small sects'' disciples.


    Furthermore, over the period as long as several months, some people would learn from other people''s strong points, their strength advancing by leaps and bounds, even charging into the top five in the end.


    It was not that this did not happen before in the past.


    Du Rufeng held a rectangle-shaped jade tablet and said in a clear voice, "Alright. Now, everyone, inject divine essence into this jade tablet. The jade tablet will automatically help you all generate a number and automatically pair."


    The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time was presided over by precisely him.


    When the group of disciples heard that, they sent out their divine essence one after another.


    For some time, divine essence with all kinds of colors flew everywhere in midair, and finally injected into the jade tablet.


    After everyone injected their divine essence, the jade tablet suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light, emitting a light.


    On the light screen displayed everyone''s numbers.


    Ye Yuan searched it for a bit and discovered that his number was actually in the last place: No. 64.


    In the crowd, someone suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, a genius who stayed in Upper Groove Court is actually No. 64, how hilarious!"


    "Really shameless! This bit of strength and he also has the face to stay in Upper Groove Court. If I were him, I''d have long moved away!"


    With him laughing, quite a few people all guffawed along with him.


    The words were full of ridicule towards Ye Yuan.


    Everyone knew that for the Shadowmoon Sect to be able to stay in Upper Groove Court was entirely because Ye Yuan hit it off with that pig.


    Actually, he did not have the qualifications to stay in Upper Groove Court at all!


    Ye Yuan felt baffled and asked Xu Yan, "What''s so funny about No. 64?"


    Xu Yan had not spoken yet when Little Tong interjected, "You aren''t from the outside world, right? To not even know this? The jade tablet in Du Rufeng''s hand is called Profound Realm Tablet. It can accurately determine your realm through your divine essence. You''re No. 64, which means that your realm is the lowest among these 64 people! Who do you think they should mock if not you?"


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization, only then, becoming aware of this jade tablet''s prowess.


    This thing was simply a demon revealing mirror, making you bare everything!


    Similarly, initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity, each person''s realm could not possibly be exactly the same too.


    Cultivation realm was linear. Cultivating one more day, there was a possibility of being that trace higher than other people''s realm.


    Of course, because of differences in cultivation methods and differences in talent, cultivation speed would vary.


    Suddenly, the light screen showed dense text once more.


    Du Rufeng said, "All of your matches are already displayed here. Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave started officially from today! Don''t want to have your match, you can decide not to attend. If you miss your match, you''ll be issued a loss!"


    Finished talking, Du Rufeng even glanced at Ye Yuan meaningfully.


    Someone exclaimed, "Eh, that kid''s fight is tomorrow. His opponent is �� High Clarity Sect''s He Yuan!"


    Ye Yuan''s existence was even more resounding than High Clarity Sect''s Yang Shen and the Ruyi Sect''s Luo Zhen.


    Straight away, everyone saw his opponent in the first round, faces revealing gloating expressions one by one.


    "Heh, this kid is really unlucky, encountering He Yuan in the first round!"


    "Although He Yuan is High Clarity Sect''s last place, he''s also peak First Firmament Celestial Deity. Furthermore, his strength is much stronger than other sects'' same rank martial artists!"


    Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a youth in purple came before Ye Yuan and said with a look of amusement, "Upper Groove Court''s genius, tomorrow, you have to give guidance! Make sure not to concede defeat too quickly. Otherwise, everybody will be disappointed. How about �� three moves?"


    "Hahaha ��" A wave of laughter came from all around.


    This youth in purple was naturally He Yuan without a doubt.


    Except, he did not come over to greet, but to intentionally humiliate Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Three moves are too many, just one move!"

 1827 I Still Have to Go Back and Refine Pills

    Ye Yuan''s words immediately drew laughter from the crowd.


    He Yuan said smugly, "Looks like you''re really sent by the Shadowmoon Sect to play a side-character. It''s just that your luck was good, being taken a fancy to by Treasure Pig. Tsk tsk, I thought how strong you were, really disappointing!"


    Similarly First Firmament Celestial Deity, but Ye Yuan was merely at the initial-stage, while He Yuan was at the peak.


    It was not that this small realm itself was insurmountable, but that He Yuan''s strength was extremely strong in the first place.


    Outside of the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he could even exchange blows with some initial-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    High Clarity Sect disciples, none were weaklings.


    This point had already been affirmed using many seasons of Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''re thinking too much. You''ll admit defeat within one move!"


    Once He Yuan heard, he laughed loudly and said, "Did everybody hear that? He wants to make me concede within one move! Hahaha, well-deserving of being an Upper Groove Court''s genius, this imposing momentum is truly astonishing. I''m so scared!"


    All around, there was a wave of laughter.


    "Within the same realm, there really aren''t many who dare say that they can beat He Yuan, let alone say to make him admit defeat within one move."


    "Upper Groove Court''s genius is all out of the ordinary when boasting!"


    Divine Dao realms, the further to the back, the greater the disparity within realms.


    Each step needed to go through a long time of accumulation.


    Even between initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity and middle-stage, the strength was also totally different.


    "Idiot!"


    These words, Ye Yuan and Little Tong practically said it in unison.


    He Yuan''s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "What did you say?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Haven''t even competed yet, so I really don''t know where your sense of superiority comes from. Or is it that you''ll definitely be stronger than others because you come from the High Clarity Sect? This baffling sense of superiority makes you seem very idiotic, understand?"


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, everyone all had shocked faces.


    Aren''t those who came from the High Clarity Sect impressive?


    Shouldn''t they have a sense of superiority?


    No idea starting since when, the High Clarity Sect already became synonymous with being powerful.


    Even the Ruyi Sect was already completely crushed by the High Clarity Sect until they were black and blue all over.


    In the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclaves for close to ten thousand years, there were at least two people from the High Clarity Sect that could enter the temple.


    This kind of might already penetrated deep into the marrow.


    Hence, the quota of the High Clarity Sect taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was as many as eight people!


    The other sects could only look at their backs.


    He Yuan''s face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Brat, you actually dare to insult my High Clarity Sect! I changed my mind! Tomorrow, I''ll make you unable to crawl up within one move!"


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "When you can do that, then talk again! Little Tong, let''s go."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Little Tong and was about to leave.


    Baili Qingyan was stunned and said, "You''re not looking at today''s matches? These five matches today, there are quite a few experts taking the stage!"


    Disciples participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, their strength was actually all very close, the battle situation very intense too.


    Under such circumstances, apart from the top few people, the majority would choose to remain behind and watch the fights.


    Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.


    There was naturally no harm in understanding one''s opponent.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Not watching, nothing good to watch."


    In Ye Yuan''s view, pill refining was much more interesting than watching these fights.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s departing back view, everyone had astounded faces.


    This boy''s realm was not high, but he was unbelievably arrogant. Why would the Shadowmoon Sect let this sort of person come and take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave?


    On the way, Ye Yuan glanced at Little Tong and said curiously, "You seem to be very optimistic about me."


    Little Tong had an appearance like an old man as he said, "Your spatial law is already grand completion third firmament. If you can''t even take care of that sort of guy, you can find a place to hit your head and die."


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, this Little Tong''s judgment was very strong!


    Indeed well-deserving of being an empyrean powerhouse''s descendant.


    That He Yuan, Ye Yuan really did not take him seriously.


    ...


    The five matches on the first day were indeed abnormally intense.


    There was a battle where the two people fought until their divine essence was exhausted before barely managing to determine the victor.


    There were virtually none capable of finishing off their opponent within a hundred moves.


    It could be seen from this that the disparity who came to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave might have differences in strength, but there was absolutely not a mediocre talent.


    The battles on the second day were similarly incomparably fierce. But Ye Yuan did not show up.


    All the way until midday, when the third match was about to start, did he appear.


    Yang Shen came in front of He Yuan, patted his shoulder, and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother He, compete in this match well, don''t give that Ye Yuan any chance. Our High Clarity Sect''s reputation isn''t allowed to be profaned!"


    He Yuan also nodded and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang rest assured, this boy is an ego-maniac, I''ll give him a lightning blow the moment I go up and absolutely won''t hold back!"


    Yang Shen nodded his head, only then, setting his mind at ease.


    The two people went up the ring, He Yuan sneered and said, "Brat, originally, I still want to save you some face. But you actually dared to make impertinent remarks about my High Clarity Sect, then be prepared to bear my wrath! Today, I''ll let you take a look at how strong the High Clarity Sect is!"


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "So much nonsense. Quickly make your move. I still have to go back and refine pills."


    These few years, Ye Yuan refined pills in great pleasure and was even somewhat enjoying too much to think about other things anymore.


    With Treasure Pig around, he had however many spirit medicines he wanted, no need to worry at all.


    Battling with He Yuan was simply a waste of time.


    But when He Yuan heard this, he immediately flared up with anger.


    He gritted his teeth and said, "Want to refine pills, right? Then you crawl back and refine pills!"


    Done talking, He Yuan''s world power surged out frenziedly, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    At this moment, the entire space on the stage seemed to be trembling.


    The tremors grew stronger and stronger as if it was going to shatter the ring.


    "This �� is tremor law! It''s a kind of earth law, possessing extremely strong offensiveness. Legend has it that when cultivated to the extreme, it can even shatter space! I didn''t expect that He Yuan''s strength was actually so strong!"


    "Heh, looks like that kid really infuriated him! The moment he came up, it''s his trump card!"


    Below the stage, there was a wave of exclamations.


    In terms of world power, He Yuan had an imposing momentum, as if no one could beat him.


    He looked at Ye Yuan coldly, the moment on his body growing stronger and stronger.


    "Now, regret it, right? But you already have no regret medicine to eat! Suffer my wrath! Space �� Shatter ��"


    He Yuan just spat two words out of his mouth when the Ye Yuan who did not move all along moved.


    Only to see him take a step out, directly passing through the violent spatial quakes, arriving in front of He Yuan.


    He Yuan''s pupils constricted and did not have time to panic when Ye Yuan already pointed a finger out.


    "Puhwark!"


    He Yuan spent a long time accumulating the momentum but did not even unleash a single punch and was sent down the stage by Ye Yuan with one finger.


    He Yuan fell to the ground, fresh blood spurting wildly. Until now, he still did not dare to believe the scene that just happened.


    Inside the world power, he was the sovereign!


    The closer to him, the stronger the power of the vibrations.


    But this powerful tremor force actually had no effect on Ye Yuan at all.


    As if the domain constructed by world power was Ye Yuan''s in the first place.

 1828 Deadly Blow

    Really only used one move!


    No fierce counterattacks, and no flashy exaggerated martial techniques.


    What they saw was just a light finger action.


    The various major sects'' disciples were all staring dumbfoundedly, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    He Yuan''s grandiose and heroic words from before immediately became brainless clamoring at this moment.


    Was the High Clarity Sect very strong?


    These words that seemed very comical previously was affirmed by Ye Yuan with strength.


    The High Clarity Sect was very weak!


    The big commotion that He Yuan made appeared too boastful in front of Ye Yuan''s casualness.


    Ye Yuan looked at He Yuan who fell to the ground coolly and said, "Your wrath is so weak. I still have things to do, leaving first."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan''s figure moved, disappearing from the ring, only leaving behind the dumbfounded looking people.


    "This kid is so strong!"


    "Is he really only No. 64? Could it be that the Profound Realm Tablet made a mistake?"


    "Defeating He Yuan with one move, probably not many people can do that, right?"


    ...


    Below the stage, Yang Shen''s expression was very ugly.


    Ye Yuan''s played down finger smacked the High Clarity Sect''s face resoundingly.


    During the past ten thousand years, the High Clarity Sect had never been defeated so embarrassingly before.


    Today, He Yuan did it.


    "Li Yiping, the next match is you, right? You have to win back this face!" Yang Shen said with a dark look.


    The expression of a youth with short hair behind him turned somber and he said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang, rest assured. No matter how strong he is, it''s also impossible to be my match!"


    This Li Yiping was ranked fifth among the High Clarity Sect''s eight disciples, a middle-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Compared to He Yuan, he was no idea how much stronger.


    The High Clarity Sect had no weaklings, this was not said for fun.


    Even if rank fifth, Li Yiping''s strength did not pale in comparison to other sects'' number one and number two.


    Therefore, he dared to make this big boast.


    ...


    Inside the pill refining room, when Little Tong saw Ye Yuan return, he revealed a slight look of surprise.


    "Faster than I expected!" Little Tong said.


    The Treasure Pig who was originally sleeping flew up with a whoosh and bored right into Ye Yuan''s bossom, wriggling its pig-head continuously.


    Little Tong''s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, "You stupid pig, only know how to eat!"


    Treasure Pig poked his head out of Ye Yuan''s bosom and made a funny face at Little Tong.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That guy was too weak. I defeated him in one move, so it''s not worth talking about."


    But very soon, he became totally indifferent to this and said coolly, "The spirit medicines are already all prepared, you can start refining pills."


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Haha, many thanks. Didn''t expect that you, this brat, is still pretty useful."


    Little Tong''s face turned back and instantly wanted to explode, but at the thought of how he could not beat Ye Yuan, he was immediately like a deflated ball.


    "Damn brat, when this empyrean recovers his strength, you will see. I''ll definitely beat you until your buttocks open up!"


    Ye Yuan felt that Little Tong was bored and idle. Hence, he had him help sort out the spirit medicines and do some preparation work before refining pills.


    He did not expect that Little Tong did the work in this area extremely meticulously.


    Since Ye Yuan entered the Heavenspan World, it was still his first time encountering.


    Hence, he guessed that this Little Tong''s grandpa must be an extremely formidable alchemist.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that Little Tong''s insight in Alchemy Dao was extremely deep.


    Occasionally chatting gave Ye Yuan a feeling of suddenly seeing the light. This made Ye Yuan give rise to the idea of meeting Little Tong''s grandpa.


    The moment Ye Yuan refined pills, he thoroughly forgot about time.


    All the way until three days later, Ye Yuan''s pill refinement was interrupted by Xu Yan.


    "What''s wrong, Elder Xu?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    He said before that without special circumstances, don''t interrupt his pill refinement.


    With Xu Yan coming to find him, something must have happened.


    Xu Yan''s expression was very ugly and he said to Ye Yuan, "You go and take a look at Yi Qingxiang, he probably can''t take part in the competition at the back anymore. If there wasn''t any choice, I also wouldn''t come find you."


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, having a foreboding premonition in his heart, and said with a nod, "Okay, I''ll go take a look."


    Yi Qingxiang was carried back. When Ye Yuan saw the Yi Qingxiang on the bed, he also felt somewhat unbearable to look straight at him.


    Yi Qingxiang was brutalized too dreadfully. His entire being was beaten out of shape.


    Especially the face, his eyes were beaten until they popped out, virtually unable to recognize his original appearance anymore.


    This degree of injury would basically bid farewell to the competition at the back already.


    According to normal circumstances, without eight to ten years, it was likely very hard to recover.


    His brows furrowed and he asked Xu Yan, "Was it done by High Clarity Sect''s people?"


    No need to think, it must have been that High Clarity Sect''s people felt that it was a loss of face, and deliberately gained back some ground from Yi Qingxiang.


    Except, the attack was a bit too vicious.


    Under such fierce battles that lasted for a long time, knowing how to protect oneself was also a kind of strategy.


    Under normal circumstances, when one saw that the situation was beyond salvage, they would admit defeat.


    But very clearly, the other party did not give him the chance to concede.


    Xu Yan said angrily, "Yi Qingxiang was unlucky too. He ran into High Clarity Sect''s disciples this time as well, it was the Bian Ziqiu, ranked fourth among them. There''s a great disparity between the two of their strengths. Yi Qingxiang wasn''t a match to begin with. Who knew that that punk took advantage of Yi Qingxiang inattentiveness the moment he came up and immediately removed his lower jaw, making him unable to even speak. Following that, Bian Ziqiu pummeled Yi Qingxiang wildly in the ring. If not for this kid was smart, he would already be a dead man now."


    The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave did not forbid killing. If there was no chance to admit defeat, dying on the stage was not impossible too.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed, shooting out two rays of cold light.


    High Clarity Sect this bunch of fellows was seriously too much.


    Although he and Yi Qingxiang had some grudges, he was different from Qian Ye. Ye Yuan did not have a direct conflict with him.


    Now, Yi Qingxiang did not dare to do anything to him too.


    High Clarity Sect doing so was simply aiming for him, Ye Yuan.


    Yi Qingxiang was merely an innocent bystander who was implicated.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that these guys actually dealt a deadly blow to Yi Qingxiang for so-called face.


    At this time, Ye Yuan''s fury was really stoked.


    Ye Yuan said in a low voice, "Relax, with me around, he can''t die! The next match, he''ll also take the field."


    The moment Xu Yan heard this, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise.


    He had never seen before what kind of alchemist could cure such heavy injuries within a few days.


    Since entering Upper Groove Court, Ye Yuan had been fiddling about in the pill refining room every day. Just how strong his Alchemy Dao strength was, Xu Yan completely did not know as well.


    "Senior Apprentice Sister Baili, Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang, when you guys run into High Clarity Sect''s Second Firmament Celestial Deity disciples in the future, best to concede defeat straight away. Otherwise, they might deal a deadly blow to you guys too!" Ye Yuan said to the two in a solemn voice.


    Jiang Xueyan''s face changed, revealing a look of fear.


    But Baili Qingyan was incomparably indignant and said in a cold voice, "Impossible! I want to see how strong High Clarity Sect''s disciples are!"


    Seeing Baili Qingyan''s resolute look, Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, knowing that he could not persuade her, and could only say: "Alright then, but you have to be careful yourself!"

 1829 A Certain Someone Is Angry!

    "Heh, that kid called Yi Qingxiang is too weak. I haven''t even started yet and he dropped down."


    "That''s true. If it were me, I''d also definitely beat him until he looked for his teeth on the ground! Want to blame, blame that brat called Ye Yuan then!"


    "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang already said, when he meets that kid, he''ll be even more miserable than Yi Qingxiang."


    The battle had not started yet, the few young men below the stage were currently chatting enthusiastically.


    The content of the conversation was naturally the fight between Bian Ziqiu and Yi Qingxiang on that day.


    One of them was Yi Qingxiang''s opponent in the previous round, Bian Ziqiu.


    But the other person was his opponent in this round, Ruyi Sect''s Wei Yunhui!


    Speaking of which, this Wei Yunhui was also just a peak First Firmament Celestial Deity; similar to Yi Qingxiang''s realm.


    But in the view of a powerful sect like the Ruyi Sect, the Shadowmoon Sect''s disciples were naturally too weak to stand up to the competition.


    Of course, Yi Qingxiang was already seriously injured and would never be able to participate in the competition at the back. This made Wei Yunhui have much less fun.


    "Wei Yunhui, the battle has ended, it''s time for you to take the stage next!" Bian Ziqiu said with a smile.


    Wei Yunhui shrugged and scolded with a smile, "You this fellow, already messed with him until he''s screwed, still take what stage? Today is merely going through the motions! Speaking of which, it''s also strange, that kid was injured until like that, the Shadowmoon Sect actually still hasn''t announced letting him withdraw from the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave."


    Bian Ziqiu smiled and said, "The Shadowmoon Sect only has this bit of dignity left, it''s probably to intentionally repulse us."


    Going up the stage, Wei Yunhui had no opponent and was just waiting for the referee to announce the result.


    According to the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s rules, late for an hour was equivalent to automatically giving up the fight and directly conceding defeat.


    Although everyone knew that Yi Qingxiang was seriously injured and dying, the Shadowmoon Sect did not announce having him withdraw out of the rest of the competition.


    This meant that Wei Yunhui must wait for an hour''s time on the stage.


    Time slowly trickled by, Wei Yunhui appeared somewhat irritated and cursed, "Damn thing, became crippled already and they actually still want to repulse people! It''s a pity that he didn''t end up in my hands. Otherwise, I''ll definitely beat the piss out of him!"


    Du Rufeng gave him a glance and said coolly, "Rules are rules, the time isn''t up, how can I announce the result?"


    Right at this time, several figures slowly walked over, immediately attracting everyone''s gaze.


    The person in the lead was precisely Shadowmoon Sect''s elder, Xu Yan.


    Today, the Shadowmoon Sect only had Yi Qingxiang, one match. No one from the Shadowmoon Sect came and it did not arouse many people''s attention.


    When everyone''s gazes looked behind Xu Yan, there was immediately an uproar.


    "That''s Yi Qingxiang? He''s actually fine already!"


    "This is impossible! His injuries that day, everyone saw it, he already died. How can he possibly recover?"


    "Hang on, his aura is different, he �� he broke through!"


    ...


    On the stage, Wei Yunhui''s pupils constricted.


    Yi Qingxiang''s appearance caught him somewhat by surprise.


    Of course, this was not the most important thing.


    The most important thing was that Yi Qingxiang actually broke through!


    Merely ten days'' time from start to finish, not only did Yi Qingxiang recover from his injuries, his realm even went up a level, breaking through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    How was this possible?


    Below the stage, Bian Ziqiu similarly had a shocked look.


    His own attacks, he naturally knew how far he went.


    That day, if not for Yi Qingxiang being smart, rolling down the stage at the last moment,, he would already long be a dead man now.


    Even if there was a powerful alchemist who saved him, he could forget about recovering without eight to ten years.


    A single mishap and it would even affect his cultivation in the future.


    But in a short ten days'' time, Yi Qingxiang actually appeared in front of him alive and well.


    This kind of feeling was extremely frustrating, even making him somewhat doubt life.


    Xu Yan said sarcastically, "Qingxiang, go up. Some people can scarcely wait and want to pummel the piss out of you."


    The current Yi Qingxiang seemed to have been re-molded anew, that kind of stubbornness and unruliness in the past, looking down on everyone and everything, had long already disappeared.


    If one was to use one word to describe him, that would be maturity.


    "Yes, Elder Xu."


    Yi Qingxiang gave a bow and leaped up the stage.


    Xu Yan said to Du Rufeng with clasped hands, "Elder Du, Qingxiang came late because he just so happened to reach the juncture of breakthrough, hope that you can understand."


    Du Rufeng gave a deep look at the Ye Yuan behind Xu Yan and said, "No worries, an hour isn''t up yet. Since he came, then this match officially starts."


    Yi Qingxiang looked at Wei Yunhui who had shock written all over his face and said with a faint smile, "You seem to be very surprised that I can come!"


    Wei Yunhui''s expression was very ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop being smug! So what if you broke through? Your kind of Second Firmament Celestial Deity with an unstable foundation isn''t my match at all."


    Yi Qingxiang smiled and said, "Is that so? Then wouldn''t you know if you try?"


    The confidence flowing from Yi Qingxiang''s body made Wei Yunhui''s heart pound.


    Thinking about the previous match, he realized that the Yi Qingxiang at that time was simply like a different person compared to now.


    Only by experiencing life and death that one could have a great awakening.


    Once the battle started, Wei Yunhui could not laugh anymore.


    The Yi Qingxiang after breaking through was not as deplorable as he said.


    On the contrary, Yi Qingxiang''s suppression on him was all-round, not giving him any chance at all.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    After a while of stalemate, Wei Yunhui collapsed totally.


    Yi Qingxiang beat Wei Yunhui move after move until he had no strength to retaliate in the slightest.


    "I �� I admit defeat!"


    Under heavy injuries, Wei Yunhui finally chose to admit defeat.


    He achieved the pissing part, it was just that the one who had the piss beaten out of him was himself.


    Completely defeating Wei Yunhui, Yi Qingxiang cast a grateful look toward Ye Yuan who was below the stage.


    It was Ye Yuan who let him go through a nirvanic rebirth and gain a new lease of life.


    Yi Qingxiang''s strength was peak First Firmament Celestial Deity in the first place. It was just that there was no way to break through this bottleneck within a short time.


    Ye Yuan harbored a portion of guilt towards Yi Qingxiang, hence, he also refined a Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill for him.


    Yi Qingxiang floated down, came in front of Bian Ziqiu, and said coolly, "You must be very disappointed that I can continue taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, right?"


    Bian Ziqiu''s expression was not too good. Hearing Yi Qingxiang''s words, he could not help sneering as he said, "Don''t think that breaking through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity is impressive. Get on the stage once more, I''ll still beat you until you can''t find the north."


    Yi Qingxiang smiled faintly and said, "I didn''t say that I''m impressive. The impressive one is somebody else. After today, your High Clarity Sect''s people have to be more careful, because a certain someone �� is angry."


    Yi Qingxiang was very self-aware, he knew that even if he broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it was also impossible to be Bian Ziqiu''s match.


    Bian Ziqiu was taken back when he heard that, pointed at Ye Yuan, and said, "You wouldn''t be talking about him, right? Hahaha, I really don''t know what you''re talking about! What the hell does his fury count for!"

 1830 Playing With You All Till the End

    But at this time, Li Yiping who was beside Bian Ziqiu suddenly walked toward Ye Yuan.


    "I heard Yi Qingxiang say that you''re angry?" Li Yiping said with a look of amusement.


    But Ye Yuan totally ignored him and just said to Yi Qingxiang, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yi, let''s go."


    When Li Yiping saw Ye Yuan treat him like air, he felt very humiliated. He said furiously, "Ye Yuan, don''t think that you''re impressive for defeating He Yuan. He''s the weakest among our High Clarity Sect''s eight disciples! Tomorrow, your state will be as tragic as Yi Qingxiang!"


    Ye Yuan was just about to turn around. Hearing this, he could not help but turn his head and said coolly, "He Yuan should be rejoicing that he was the first to exchange blows with me."


    Li Yiping''s face fell and he said with a frown, "What do you mean?"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "You''ll understand very soon."


    Finished talking, the Shadowmoon Sect party immediately left.


    Bian Ziqiu caught up, looking at Ye Yuan''s back view, he said disdainfully, "This guy is as cocky as before! It''s also time to let him know my High Clarity Sect''s might."


    Li Yiping said in a chilly voice, "Pretentious fool! I''ll make him regret today''s arrogance!"


    Three days later, Li Yiping and Ye Yuan''s showdown began.


    This fight attracted quite a few people''s attention.


    Ye Yuan swept away the High Clarity Sect''s face in the first round. They all felt that this time, the High Clarity Sect would not be willing to take things lying down and would definitely act.


    Li Yiping''s strength was very strong, Ye Yuan was sure to suffer.


    "Heh, kid, you''re very arrogant huh! After today, you won''t be able to be arrogant anymore! Your outcome will be even more miserable than Yi Qingxiang that fool!" Li Yiping said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan''s arrogant attitude yesterday was still vivid in his mind.


    Li Yiping''s anger was stirred up.


    Ye Yuan''s eyes narrowed and he said, "A bunch of self-righteous idiots! For the sake of so-called face, you wanted to deal a fatal blow. Starting from today, you all will experience the taste of fear. Of course, you can''t feel it right away now."


    Li Yiping burst into laughter and said, "Fear? Haha, this kind of emotion can only be given to others by the High Clarity Sect! Just based on your bit of strength, you wouldn''t really think that you''re invincible under the heavens, right?"


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Not to the extent of invincible under the heavens, but dealing with you all, these self-righteous fools, it''s sufficient!"


    Below the stage, when everyone heard Ye Yuan''s heroic words, they had disdainful faces.


    High Clarity Sect''s strength was truly powerful until it made people frightened.


    Disregarding the others, Yang Shen''s strength was powerful until it was freakish.


    In the last round, Yang Shen only used one move and defeated a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, neat and tidily.


    In comparison, Ye Yuan defeating He Yuan with one move was simply weak to the max.


    "The hour has arrived. Begin!" Du Rufeng announced.


    He looked at Ye Yuan very curiously, wanting to see just how many surprises Ye Yuan could still bring him.


    Without a doubt, Yi Qingxiang''s injuries were treated by Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Yi Qingxiang''s injuries recover that day, and his strength improving a step further, he got a shock.


    He touched his heart and asked himself, even if it was himself taking action, it was also impossible to do it to this extent.


    This kid''s Alchemy Dao strength was remarkable!


    No wonder Treasure Pig would rather not want Lord Little Tong and also wanted to follow Ye Yuan.


    Speaking of which, His Excellency definitely also discovered Ye Yuan''s extraordinariness, that was why he would stay by his side.


    Suddenly, Du Rufeng''s pupils constricted, looking at the stage gasping in astonishment.


    Li Yiping was dead!


    "Just a blink of an eye and he died?"


    "Li Yiping didn''t react at all and his head hit the ground already!"


    "Really too strong! What 64th place, the Profound Realm Tablet''s test simply doesn''t work on this guy!"


    ...


    Below the stage, many people still had not reacted to what was going on.


    Li Yiping''s strength was sufficient to rank around the 20th place among these 64 people.


    Even he did not react, let alone the others.


    Especially High Clarity Sect''s disciples, each and every one of their faces were ugly to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan was provoking them!


    Bian Ziqiu''s face was almost distorted, extremely frightened in his heart.


    His strength was slightly stronger than Li Yiping''s, but it was already limitedly strong, around ten plus ranking.


    Ye Yuan could instantly kill Li Yiping, he could naturally one-shot him too.


    To think that they were still pledging in all solemnness before, saying to teach Ye Yuan a good lesson.


    Thinking about it now, it was simply a joke!


    Bian Ziqiu suddenly recalled the words Ye Yuan said just now and his pupils could not help constricting.


    Now, he really experienced the taste of fear!


    Ye Yuan was clearly here to stand up for Yi Qingxiang, he was definitely inside the certain-kill list.


    Rather, He Yuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart at this time.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan did not go nuts in the first round. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand here now.


    Of course, he did not dare to express this sort of emotion.


    Yang Shen''s expression was gloomy to the extreme and he said in a solemn voice, "Starting from the next round, everyone who meets Ye Yuan, admit defeat straight away! Leave this kid to me!"


    As if afraid that everyone was not vigilant enough, he emphasized: "Must admit defeat straight away, don''t give him a chance to attack! Remember, it''s everyone!"


    At this time, High Clarity Sect''s rank two, Chen Tianlin frowned and said, "Yang Shen, how to do it is our business, it''s not your turn to tell us what to do!"


    This Chen Tianlin was a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity too. His realm was similar to Yang Shen''s, but he was not Yang Shen''s match.


    This Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he was also a hot candidate to enter the temple.


    According to past situations, he could definitely get into the top five.


    Toward Yang Shen''s words, he was very displeased.


    Forget about the rest, he did not think that his strength could not even cross swords with Ye Yuan.


    As High Clarity Sect''s number two figure, he had his own pride too. Making him admit defeat immediately, he could not afford to lose that face.


    Yang Shen gave him a glance and said with a cold snort, "If you want to seek death, that''s up to you too!"


    Chen Tianlin was just about to speak, but then he heard High Clarity Sect''s elder say in a solemn voice, "Tianlin, do it according to Yang Shen''s words! This kid is very dangerous! Entering the temple is our ultimate goal."


    Chen Tianlin''s brows furrowed and he answered, "Alright."


    Although he agreed verbally, he was very disapproving in his heart.


    He examined himself, if caught off-guard, one-shotting Li Yiping in one move could also be accomplished.


    Ye Yuan was merely using this kind of method to frighten the High Clarity Sect. In the end, Yang Shen and the elder were afraid.


    Truly disgraceful!


    Ye Yuan walked down the stage lightly. Yang Shen''s figure moved, blocking Ye Yuan''s path like a ghost.


    "You''re courting death!" Yang Shen said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said with a smile, "These words, your High Clarity Sect has already said many times. It''s too bad that after all is said and done, it''s all big talk. Moreover, it was you guys who provoked me first!"


    Yang Shen said in a cold voice, "You think that you''re invincible by comprehending spatial law, do you?"


    Others could not tell, how could he, Yang Shen, fail to see it?


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly as he said, "Invincible or not, I don''t know, but since you all want to play, then I''ll play till the end with you all! If I didn''t guess wrongly, you made him directly concede defeat, right? You can try, see if they have the chance to concede or not!"

 1831 You All, Cant Even Admit Defea

    These words were akin to a heavy hammer, smashing onto the hearts of High Clarity Sect''s people.


    If Ye Yuan said these words the last time, no one would take it seriously at all.


    But now, he had this confidence to say these words!


    One-shotting Li Yiping with one move, this was not what everyone could do.


    Yang Shen''s two eyes narrowed, shooting out two cold rays of light.


    This Ye Yuan was too rampant!


    Suddenly, Yang Shen''s gaze landed on Baili Qingyan and he said with a cold smile, "If I''m not mistaken, this is your lover, right? Heh, do you think that only you can kill people?"


    Ye Yuan''s brows furrowed, expression turning gloomy.


    How strong Yang Shen''s strength was, Ye Yuan was not clear. But he absolutely would not underestimate the other party.


    It was true that Ye Yuan was confident, but he was never arrogant.


    "If you want to kill me, feel free to come and try! Although my Shadowmoon Sect can''t match up to your High Clarity Sect, we still have this bit of backbone!" Ye Yuan had not spoken yet and Baili Qingyan already spoke up first.


    Yi Qingxiang also said coolly, "At most it''s death! Even if the three of us all die, three lives for seven lives, it''s also more than enough to break-even!"


    Yi Qingxiang''s words had just landed when Jiang Xueyan actually showed a rare support for Ye Yuan as she said, "Your High Clarity Sect''s face can''t be provoked, then can my Shadowmoon Sect be trampled upon by anybody?"


    Ye Yuan looked at the three people rather surprisedly, not expecting that they were actually so supportive.


    Was this still those people he knew?


    Baili Qingyan was still alright; she had pride in her bones. Ye Yuan could feel it.


    But Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan indeed greatly exceeded his expectations.


    Hearing this, Yang Shen''s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He suddenly discovered that the High Clarity Sect''s domineeringness already forced the Shadowmoon Sect to twist into a rope.


    These four people''s stances were to fight to the bitter end with the High Clarity Sect.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shena and said coolly, "You hear that? My Shadowmoon Sect''s dignity is similarly not allowed to be provoked! Since you all picked the fight first, then you have to be prepared to be counter-attacked by us! Let''s go!"


    Finished talking, the Shadowmoon Sect''s few people immediately left.


    Returning to Upper Groove Court, Ye Yuan''s expression was not as composed as before anymore.


    "Elder Xu, is Yang Shen''s strength very strong?" Ye Yuan asked.


    Seeing Ye Yuan asked, only now did Xu Yan let out a sigh and said, "I still thought that you had anger going to your head and was blind with arrogance!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "The High Clarity Sect is bullying people too far. We merely stayed at the Upper Groove Court, but they wanted to take people''s lives like there''s a great enmity. Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang''s luck in the first round was a little better and didn''t run into the High Clarity Sect''s people. But once she runs into them at the back, they''ll definitely still deal a deadly blow. As for Senior Apprentice Sister Baili, Yang Shen probably won''t let her off either. Even if I don''t do this, they won''t let us have an easy time too."


    Ye Yuan saw it very penetratingly, the High Clarity Sect was this domineering.


    They felt that their face was more important than anything and did not allow anyone to tower above him.


    The Shadowmoon Sect staying in the Upper Groove Court touched that sensitive nerve of theirs.


    They did not give Yi Qingxiang a chance to admit defeat, immediately taking off his lower jaw when they came up. This already explained everything.


    It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan had killing intent aroused.


    Hearing Ye Yuan''s words, Xu Yan''s brows knitted tightly together.


    Clearly, he did not think as thoroughly as Ye Yuan.


    "Yang Shen is known as the High Clarity Sect''s number one genius in one million years! His strength is very formidable! But just how strong it is, apart from the High Clarity Sect''s people, no one knows. Normally speaking, disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, the disparity in strength would not be too great. Of course, there are exceptions too. You''re one, Yang Shen should be one as well!" Xu Yan said with a solemn look.


    Ye Yuan fell silent when he heard that. Everyone did not speak, quietly looking at him.


    Little Tong also looked at Ye Yuan very curiously, wanting to see how he would resolve the present situation.


    After a moment, Ye Yuan''s gaze swept across everyone''s faces and he said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang, I''ll refine a Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill for you and help you break through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity."


    Jiang Xueyan''s eyes lit up, immediately feeling inexplicably surprised.


    She did not think that she could actually obtain the Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill too.


    Actually, when Yi Qingxiang got this medicinal pill, she was very covetous.


    But she knew that Ye Yuan''s impression of her was very bad, so she also gave up hope.


    Did not expect that under this kind of circumstance, Ye Yuan actually wanted to help her refine!


    Xu Yan said, "It''s no use like this! Second Firmament Celestial Deity is equally too weak to stand up to the competition in front of him as well."


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I naturally know this. So starting from today, I''ll help you all refine medicinal pills on one hand. On the other hand, you all have to accept my special training. And the goal is to admit defeat before I kill you all!"


    Everyone was taken aback when they heard it, not expecting that Ye Yuan thought of such a method.


    Ye Yuan saying so was equivalent to saying that he felt that his strength was very close to that of Yang Shen''s.


    Or even stronger!


    But is this possible?


    Similarly a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity, Yang Shen''s strength far surpassed Chen Tianlin''s. This indicated that his laws comprehension was definitely exceedingly strong, far surpassing those in the same rank.


    "Heh heh, kid, you''re playing a joke with their lives!" Little Tong could not help disparaging and being cynical when he heard this.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, "Whether it''s a joke or not, you''ll know very soon."


    ...


    In a blink, more than a month passed. Eighth round, Ye Yuan finally ran into a High Clarity Sect''s disciple again.


    This time, it was the rank six Peng Huan.


    His strength was not that high. He was only an initial-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity, being much worse than even Li Yiping. It was naturally even less possible to be Ye Yuan''s match.


    With the lesson drawn from Li Yiping''s failure, Peng Huan naturally chose to directly admit defeat.


    Hence, after Du Rufeng announced the start of the match, Peng Huan opened his mouth straight away.


    "I ��"


    It was just a pity that he only spat a word out of his mouth and his eyes began to turn lax, and could no longer speak.


    Ye Yuan''s sword was too fast!


    Below the stage, there was the sound of cold air being sucked in.


    Too strong!


    If one was to say he could succeed the last time against Li Yi Ping because he was not prepared, then this time, it was completely the manifestation of strength!


    "You all can''t even admit defeat, still call yourselves what number one sect?"


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen, his words full of scorn.


    Yang Shen glared at Ye Yuan and bellowed, "Ye Yuan, you forced me!"


    Ye Yuan ignored him and immediately left.


    In the 17th round, Ye Yuan slew High Clarity Sect''s rank seven Wu Min with a sword again.


    In the 25th round, Ye Yuan similarly instantly killed with a sword against Bian Ziqiu!


    Halfway through the competition, the High Clarity Sect already had four disciples who died under Ye Yuan''s sword.


    Each one of them wanted to concede the moment they came up, but no one could do it.


    Ye Yuan''s sword was much faster than them speaking.


    High Clarity Sect''s elder and Yang Shen were practically going insane.

 1832 Time Law

    Halfway through the competition, Yang Shen did not meet a single Shadowmoon Sect disciple.


    However, there was no hiding in the end.


    In the 28th round, Yang Shen matched up with Yi Qingxiang.


    Currently, more than half a year''s time already passed since the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave started.


    Yang Shen came in front of Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, "I''ve waited half a year for today! Today, I''ll let you have a taste of your fellow apprentice dying in front of you!"


    Finished talking, he turned to Yi Qingxiang again and said, "Last time, I let you escaped a disaster. This time, you won''t be so lucky! Want to blame, blame Ye Yuan that he shouldn''t have provoked my High Clarity Sect!"


    But Yi Qingxiang laughed when he heard that and said, "I''ve long said before, my Shadowmoon Sect''s dignity is likewise not to be trampled on! I can die, but the Shadowmoon Sect''s face can''t be lost! Of course, the prerequisite is that if you can kill me."


    Yang Shen''s face fell, he discovered that he could not gain any verbal advantage in the slightest.


    He actually came because he wanted to see Yi Qingxiang''s nervous and frightened appearance. But he completely could not see it from Yi Qingxiang''s face.


    This kind of feeling made him very frustrated.


    In contrast, the High Clarity Sect''s disciples were long already killed until they were terrified.


    But even if they were terrified, they were still unable to survive from Ye Yuan''s hands.


    Unable to even admit defeat.


    One had to know, the disciples that Ye Yuan killed were all the High Clarity Sect''s future sect pillars!


    Because of Ye Yuan''s slaughtering, this season''s Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s arrangement was already completely messed up.


    Apart from him and Ye Yuan, this first camp, the second camp''s competition became abnormally fierce.


    Of course, Ye Yuan even gave all of the sects a big gift.


    These sects that originally had no hopes of obtaining a spot had hope now.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said coolly, "You saw it that we don''t fear death. So why threaten us with it? Save your unfounded sense of superiority!"


    Yang Shen''s face fell and he said with a cold snort, "Stop pretending! When you step into the ring, I''ll see if you guys can still smile!"


    After two battles, it was finally Yang Shen and Yi Qingxiang''s showdown.


    Presently, as long as it was the Shadowmoon Sect and High Clarity Sect''s confrontation, it would draw great attention.


    But today, it was Yang Shen''s first time facing off with the Shadowmoon Sect''s disciple, it was naturally a major topic of discussion.


    On the stage, Yi Qingxiang was long already drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring profusely on his forehead.


    This kind of pressure, he had only felt it on one person before, that was Ye Yuan!


    Before it started, Yang Shen''s aura had long already risen to the peak, dormant above the nine heavens.


    As long as the announcement was given, he would give Yi Qingxiang a lightning blow, and absolutely not give him any chance to admit defeat.


    Below the stage, the disciples all had solemn expressions.


    "So strong! Turns out that this is Yang Shen''s true strength!"


    "In the past, no one could force him to use his true strength at all. Now, it was forced out by Ye Yuan!"


    "Separated by the protective grand array, I even feel that I almost can''t breathe! Similarly Second Firmament Celestial Deity, why is the disparity so great?"


    ...


    Different from Ye Yuan''s calm and collectedness, wispy and etherealness, the feeling that Yang Shen gave people was unparalleled domineeringness!


    "Begin!"


    Du Rufeng''s voice had just landed when Yang Shen''s entire person was like an arrow that left the strong, brandishing his saber and hacking towards Yi Qingxiang.


    Under Yang Shen''s peerlessly daunting world power and tyrannical law of saver, Yi Qingxiang was virtually unable to move.


    Yi Qingxiang''s brows furrowed, feeling tremendous pressure.


    But he did not admit defeat straight away.


    Because he knew that Yang Shen definitely had something else up his sleeves!


    Although this level was strong, it was not strong enough to the extent of making him unable to concede defeat.


    One had to know, similarly Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse, wanting to make the other party unable to even say ''I admit defeat'', three words, that was extremely, extremely difficult.


    Suddenly, Yi Qingxiang''s pupils constricted. He felt that everything around slowed down!


    Even when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he became extremely, extremely slow, as if in slow motion.


    The entire world, only Yang Shen alone was moving!


    "Time law!"


    Yi Qingxiang was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    "Eh, what''s wrong with Yi Qingxiang? Has he been frightened silly?"


    "Yang Shen''s blade is already in front of his face, why is he still not moving?"


    Below the stage, the group of disciples was totally uncertain what it meant, completely not understanding what happened.


    In their view, Yi Qingxiang already became an idiot who did not know how to move, reaching his head out for Yang Shen to chop.


    Bang!


    A tremendous rumbling sound came over, Yi Qingxiang''s body flew out backward.


    "I �� admit �� defeat!"


    Yi Qingxiang''s body was in midair but spat these three words out of his mouth.


    "Damn it! How can you possibly block it?! How could it be blocked?! I''ll kill you!"


    Yang Shen bellowed, rushing over toward Yi Qingxiang once more frenziedly.


    But right at this time, a surge of powerful world power appeared out of thin air, directly blasting him flying.


    "He already opened his mouth to concede defeat, so you mustn''t harm his life! This time, it''s just a warning. The next time you commit it again, kill without mercy!"


    Du Rufeng''s voice was very calm like he was stating a very normal thing.


    Yang Shen crawled to his feet, his face having an extremely reluctant look.


    At this time, Du Rufeng''s voice sounded out once more: "This fight, Yang Shen wins."


    Yang Shen''s expression was grim until it was about to drip water, his face not having any joy after winning.


    His objective was to kill and not to win.


    The emotions that Yang Shen accumulated for half a year was to erupt in this fight.


    But he actually failed!


    This outcome, he was completely unable to accept it.


    Just now, at the last critical moment, Yi Qingxiang actually released divine essence out of his body, manipulating his sword to block the certain-kill blow.


    His time law could slow down the flow of time around Yi Qingxiang, but there was one thing that he could not slow down, that was divine essence!


    Of course, this was because Yang Shen''s time law skill was lacking.


    Otherwise, Yi Qingxiang would be hard-pressed to escape death too.


    Ye Yuan''s figure floated up, arrived beside Yi Qingxiang, and fed him a medicinal pill.


    The current Yi Qingxiang did not have an intact spot on his body from head to toe, his appearance even more miserable than the last time.


    But he did not die!


    With the medicinal pill entering the abdomen, Yi Qingxiang''s injuries improved slightly very soon.


    "I really didn''t expect that this guy''s trump card was actually time law!"


    Mentioning this, Ye Yuan also had lingering fear in his heart.


    Time law was the same as spatial law, both being supreme laws. They were extremely hard to comprehend.


    Apart from Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, it was still Ye Yuan''s first time seeing time law.


    Just one look and Ye Yuan discerned it.


    This time law was indeed extremely difficult to deal with.


    Under time law, everything was beyond one''s control.


    Just now, Yi Qingxiang did not have any strength to retaliate at all, and could not even speak!


    "H-Huhu, this �� half a year of special training was indeed �� not in vain!"


    Yi Qingxiang did not have any dejection but was rather excited instead.


    For him to be able to avoid this calamity, it was entirely because of Ye Yuan''s half a year of training.


    It was also precisely because of this training that the three of their strength all made substantial improvement.


    This half a year, they cultivated under the horror of death every day.


    It was also precisely because of this training that they knew just how strong Ye Yuan was!

 1833 Disjointed Generation

    This sword was peerlessly powerful, sufficient to take their lives.


    At first, including Baili Qingyan, they could not even move a muscle.


    If Ye Yuan had the intent to kill, they would have long died until they could not be any more dead.


    One could say that this half a year''s time, they would tour the gates of hell once every day.


    When it just started, Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan''s spirits were virtually about to collapse.


    Under such a swift and fierce sword, they did not have the strength to resist at all.


    That kind of powerlessness put them at a loss on what to do.


    Ever since entering the sect, they had always been proud children of heaven, regarding themselves being head and shoulders above over others in all respects. When had they thought that they would be so powerless when facing a peer?


    But as time passed, they were already numbed.


    They already got accustomed to Ye Yuan''s might and began to try finding ways to crack it.


    Ye Yuan''s objective was very simple, as long as they could have a chance to concede, it would do.


    Today, Yi Qingxiang did it!


    In reality, this half a year''s time, their strengths also soared by leaps and bounds. It was just that they did not detect it.


    Yang Shen stood on the stage, furiously until his entire body was shaking.


    Ye Yuan slaughtered half of their High Clarity Sect''s people already, but he could not even kill a single one.


    This sense of humiliation made him virtually about to go mad.


    "ARGHH!!"


    Suddenly, Yang Shen raised his head to the sky and howled. Glaring at Ye Yuan, he said, "Next time, you guys won''t be so lucky!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Shen and said coolly, "Although time law is powerful, it''s just a pity that your skill is still lacking. You can''t kill a single one."


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought the heavily injured Yi Qingxiang and slowly left.


    "Time law! It''s actually time law!"


    "No wonder, no wonder Yi Qingxiang seemed to be dazed just now, turns out that it''s time law!"


    "My god, spatial law, time law, these two supreme laws appeared at the same time in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave!"


    "It''s just a pity that Yang Shen still failed to kill Yi Qingxiang. This Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, the High Clarity Sect really suffered heavy losses."


    ...


    Following Ye Yuan uttering a sentence, the crowd exploded all at once.


    They did not perceive just now that what Yang Shen used was time law.


    Because time law was only targeted at Yi Qingxiang, changing the flow of time within his proximity, so it was very hard for outsiders to detect.


    Of course, people who were extremely sensitive toward Heavenly Dao could detect it.


    Such as Ye Yuan.


    Although his injuries were extremely severe, when the next round started, Yi Qingxiang returned to the ring, like he was completely fine.


    His re-appearance caused another uproar.


    Now, everyone all knew that there was an incomparably powerful alchemist behind the Shadowmoon Sect.


    And this alchemist was precisely Ye Yuan!


    As long as you could not kill the Shadowmoon Sect''s people, in the next round of the competition, he would appear in front of you alive and well.


    The other sects'' disciples were already envious to the extreme towards the Shadowmoon Sect''s disciples.


    Presently, everyone would not feel that the Shadowmoon Sect only managed to stay in Upper Groove Court because they were lucky. They really had this strength.


    Or they should say, Ye Yuan absolutely had this qualification to stay in Upper Groove Court.


    In terms of Martial Dao talent, he comprehended spatial law.


    In Alchemy Dao, he could even refine extremely powerful rank five divine pills.


    Such a person, even a genius like Yang Shen also paled in comparison in front of him!


    Luck?


    It did not exist!


    In the 40th round, Ye Yuan faced off with the High Clarity Sect''s number three figure, Wei Yuanfei.


    This Wei Yuanfei was a late-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity, his strength rather formidable. He even had the qualifications to be ranked in the top five.


    But before this fight, Yang Shen repeated exhorted that he must definitely concede defeat.


    It was just that when the battle started, the development of the situation far exceeded Yang Shen''s imagination.


    This time, Ye Yuan changed his earlier style. The moment he came up, he unleashed incomparably swift and fierce attacks.


    One move stronger than the last, one move faster than the last, suppressing Wei Yuanfei until he found it hard to even breathe, let alone concede.


    Ye Yuan utilized the advantage of spatial law and unleashed speed to the extreme.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan''s divine essence was incomparably thick, his breath drawn-out, and was best at protracted fights.


    But Wei Yuanfei was different, he finally still revealed a flaw under Ye Yuan''s coercion.


    In the end, he was killed by Ye Yuan with one sword!


    That instant when Wei Yuanfei was killed by Ye Yuan, everyone was stunned.


    If one was to say those people being killed previously were all because the opponent was too weak, then killing Wei Yuanfei absolutely displayed Ye Yuan''s formidable to the extreme strength!


    High Clarity Sect''s elder and Yang Shen''s hearts were dripping blood. Eight disciples came, after more than half a year, there were actually only three people left.


    One of them was even the most useless He Yuan.


    This was simply a devastating blow to the High Clarity Sect.


    If there were no accidents, Yang Shen and Chen Tianlin would both enter the temple.


    This was also to say that High Clarity Sect''s future pillars of society were directly hacked finished by Ye Yuan!


    This way, the High Clarity Sect would definitely produce a disjointed generation of talents. The impact on the entire sect was extremely far-reaching.


    This move from Ye Yuan was too ruthless!


    After this, Yang Shen exchanged blows with Jiang Xueyan and Baili Qingyan respectively.


    Each time, Yang Shen would muster everything up, wanting to kill people.


    But sadly, he failed to kill a single one.


    In fact, Baili Qingyan actually even exchanged a few blows with him before being defeated.


    Among the three people, Baili Qingyan''s talent was clearly the highest. Her improvement was also the fastest.


    And Ye Yuan''s training also made Baili Qingyan''s win rate increase a lot.


    At present, among all of the 64 disciples, she was actually ranked sixth, only a step away from fifth place.


    Finally, at the 53rd round, Ye Yuan and Yang Shen, these two great geniuses, met!


    This fight was anticipated by all.


    Hearing that spatial law and time law appeared at the same time in this season, quite a few temple disciples also came to watch the fight. It even attracted quite a few elders.


    "Baili, Ye Yuan and Yang Shen fighting, who do you think has a higher chance of winning?"


    Before the great battle, Jiang Xueyan actually had a rare moment of nervousness.


    Presently, she was overwhelmed with gratitude toward Ye Yuan.


    This one year''s time, Ye Yuan refined many medicinal pills for her, making her strength advance by leaps and bounds.


    Furthermore, Jiang Xueyan knew that the medicinal pills Ye Yuan refined, the impact was absolutely not just for a day or two. It would have a tremendous impact on her future cultivation.


    This kind of impact was sufficient to change her life!


    Of course, Baili Qingyan and Yi Qingxiang were the same too.


    Baili Qingyan also appeared rather nervous as she said, "I can''t say for sure either. The two can be said to each have their forte. Ye Yuan''s might lies in laws fusion. But Yang Shen''s time law similarly can''t be underestimated. This fight, 50-50 chance I guess!"


    Although very much hoping for Ye Yuan to win, Baili Qingyan had exchanged blows with Yang Shen before and was deeply aware of Yang Shen''s might.


    The sense of oppression that these two people brought her was virtually on par.


    Hence, she also could not say for sure who was stronger and who was weaker.


    It was also precisely because of this that she appeared somewhat nervous.


    Yi Qingxiang said, "Relax, there''s no way Ye Yuan will lose! This guy gives people surprises in all respects and never seems to have a limit!"


    When the other two heard it, they deeply felt that way too.

 1834 Divine Vestige Realm

    One was tyrannical, one was proud!


    Yang Shen''s aura was peerlessly domineering, while Ye Yuan''s aura was unmoving like a mountain.


    This battle was a showdown between the High Clarity Sect and the Shadowmoon Sect, and also a contest between two great supreme laws.


    Such an opportunity could not be casually encountered.


    "Ye Yuan, hope that you don''t concede defeat! Today, let''s fight to the death. Do you dare or not?" Yang Shen''s gaze was heated as he stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    Can''t kill the others, he might as well directly have a deathmatch with Ye Yuan.


    Yang Shen had absolute confidence in himself. There was no way he would lose to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look as he said, "As you wish."


    Yang Shen laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, the humiliation that you brought to my High Clarity Sect, I''ll wash it all clean today! You are dead for sure!"


    Ye Yuan''s expression was calm as he said, "That will depend on whether you have this ability or not!"


    Yang Shen sneered and said, "You have a supreme law. But I have a supreme law too. In fact, I''m two minor realms higher than you! What do you have to beat me with? Today, I''ll let you take a look at my true strength! What my High Clarity Sect has to become the number one sect!"


    Facing Yang Shen, Ye Yuan''s biggest disadvantage was his cultivation realm.


    Ye Yuan was currently merely initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity, while Yang Shen was peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity. It was equivalent to being two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan.


    These two minor realms did not seem to be much in the initial stages of Divine Dao. But at the Celestial Deity Realm, these two minor realms were sufficient to be deadly.


    Even for a genius like Baili Qingyan, breaking through two minor realms step by step also required several hundred years. The gap could only be imagined.


    "Kill!"


    With a fierce cry, Yang Shen hacked over toward Ye Yuan with a matchlessly overbearing saber blow.


    This saber pressed forward with an indomitable will!


    What was even more frightening was that Yang Shen''s world power was extremely strong, overbearing until it seized all of the space as its own, not giving Ye Yuan any place to survive at all.


    In front of this saber, Ye Yuan appeared too weak.


    At this time, Ye Yuan moved too.


    The Frostcounter Sword swinging, Ye Yuan''s figure cut through space, welcoming Yang Shen''s saber.


    This Frostcounter Sword was a celestial deity mystic treasure!


    After the Junyi Sword shattered, Ye Yuan had no convenient weapon all along.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to rank five, Ye Yuan finally opened up the Purple Extreme Hall''s second layer space, obtaining the treasure trove inside.


    At the same time, dense blue patterns revolved around Ye Yuan.


    One sword unleashing, it actually directly broke through the heavy blockade of Yang Shen''s world power, charging in front of Yang Shen without any obstruction.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Horrifying power of laws roamed about on the stage, giving off a series of rings.


    In a blink of an eye, the two people exchanged more than ten moves, power of law surging endlessly.


    Evenly matched!


    Yang Shen''s pupils constricted. His realm was clearly much higher than Ye Yuan''s, but his world power was actually unable to affect Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    What in the world was that blue pattern?


    Below the stage, everyone was extremely shocked.


    The level of these two people''s battle, they were simply unable to imagine it.


    The 64 people taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave were all the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s top geniuses.


    But these two people towered about the group of geniuses, reaching another level.


    "Ye Yuan''s blue pattern is so strange. It''s actually not affected by Yang Shen''s world power. It''s like where Ye Yuan goes, it forcefully hews open a space that belongs to him. What in the world is that thing?"


    At this time, Little Tong was holding Treasure Pig, currently standing together with Du Rufeng.


    This place was the place with the best view.


    Little Tong was also very interested in this fight, he naturally would not miss it.


    Hearing Du Rufeng inquire, his two eyes narrowed slightly and he said, "It''s �� Heavenly Dao!"


    Du Rufeng''s face changed and he cried out in surprise, "H-Heavenly Dao? How is this possible?"


    Little Tong used a tone that was not commensurate with his age and said with a solemn look, "It won''t be wrong. That''s the aura of Dao! Ye Yuan''s comprehension toward the Dao has already reached an inconceivable realm. He can already spur Heavenly Dao to use for himself. Although this aura isn''t strong enough yet, as his strength improves, this Heavenly Dao pattern will become more and more terrifying!"


    Hearing Little Tong''s explanation, the shock in Du Rufeng''s heart could not be any greater.


    Controlling Heavenly Dao for one''s own use, this kind of thing, ordinary people did not even dare to think about it, but Ye Yuan already did it.


    Martial artists comprehend Heavenly Dao to strengthen themselves.


    But Ye Yuan could actually drive Heavenly Dao, this was too terrifying!


    Actually, Little Tong was half-right.


    These blue patterns were indeed the aura of Heavenly Dao, but it was not Heavenly Dao that Ye Yuan was spurring on.


    These blue fine lines were Ye Yuan''s own!


    Other people breaking through to rank five, what they reached was Celestial Deity Realm. However, Ye Yuan embarked on a different path. His realm would naturally not be the same as well.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to rank five, his divine sea underwent a change once more.


    His divine vortex shrunk again, chaos divine essence also becoming more condensed.


    That viscous aura already became thicker and thicker.


    If one was to say the divine sea was as big as a lake in the beginning, then Ye Yuan''s current divine vortex was at most the size of a pond.


    Not only did Ye Yuan''s divine essence not weaken, but it also grew even stronger than before instead.


    Apart from this, countless blue lightning was born in Ye Yuan''s divine sea.


    These blue bolts of lightning were extremely similar to what he saw back then on the Heavenspan Mountain. It was just that in terms of aura, it was much, much weaker; totally not on the same level.


    Ye Yuan discovered that when he faced the enemy, he could mobilize these blue lightning and make his attacks sharper. His defenses also became stronger.


    As for world power, it was even more like paper paste in front of the blue patterns.


    As long as it was not strong to a certain degree, Ye Yuan could split it apart easily.


    Hence, Ye Yuan named this realm, Divine Vestige Realm!


    Outsiders could not tell, but Yang Shen keenly felt his own suffering.


    Ye Yuan''s sword seemed ordinary and sloppy. But an extremely strange force was contained within, throwing his vital-energy sea into turmoil, virtually unable to control himself.


    With several dozen swords, he actually had a feeling of the long sword slipping out of his hand.


    "No way! This kid is too peculiar. I can''t carry on like this!"


    Yang Shen knew that at this rate, he would lose without a doubt.


    "Time law!"


    Right at this time, he urged time law to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan''s face changed and suddenly felt that his movements became slow like an ant.


    Even shuttling through space also became much slower.


    Yang Shen grinned hideously and said, "How can the profundities of time laws be what you can imagine! Let me tell you! Actually, the time law that I used on them was not my full strength at all! My time law has similarly been comprehended to third firmament! Didn''t expect it, right? Now, you can go to hell! Unparalleled World Suppressing Saber!"


    Right at this time, Yang Shen urged his saber arts to the extreme as well. The incomparably swift and fierce martial technique was practically shredding the space.


    This blade wanted Ye Yuan''s life!

 1835 Divine Vestige Space, Untainted by Myriad Laws!

    Killing a hundred Yi Qingxiangs was also not as important as killing one Ye Yuan.


    Hence, when dealing with Yi Qingxiang them all, Yang Shen did not go all out.


    While it was good to be able to kill, failing to kill was no big deal too.


    The most important thing was that Ye Yuan had to die.


    The instigator of all this was Ye Yuan.


    Looking at Ye Yuan''s sluggish movements, a hint of a hideous grin flashed across the corners of Yang Shen''s mouth. A saver turned into a white streak, hacking over toward Ye Yuan''s head.


    However, just as Yang Shen''s blade arrived in front of Ye Yuan''s face, it suddenly stopped, as if frozen in the air.


    His figure was unable to advance an inch forward.


    In front of Yang Shen, there was seemingly boundless space, waiting for him to cross.


    His saber cut through one layer of space after another, but it was unable to land on Ye Yuan.


    Two supreme laws collided together violently!


    "Hahaha, it''s useless! In front of time laws, everything is in vain! Go to hell!"


    Yang Shen let out a wild laugh, light radiating on his body. The long blade actually pushed another inch forward.


    The blade was already less than an inch away from the top of Ye Yuan''s head!


    The piercing cold light made Ye Yuan somewhat unable to open his eyes.


    Everyone''s hearts leaped to their throats, looking at this soul-stirring scene.


    The complexions of Baili Qingyan and the rest turned pale, looking nervous.


    This blade landing, Ye Yuan would be done for!


    But right at this time, countless blue filaments spread out of Ye Yuan''s body frenziedly, like spiders spinning silk.


    Yang Shen''s face changed. These fine filaments accumulated more and more, wrapping the two of them up very quickly.


    From the outside world, the inside completely could not be seen at all.


    "This �� What is this?" Du Rufeng''s face changed as he asked.


    A hint of terror also showed in Little Tong''s eyes as he said, "This �� seems to be a power similar to world power. But it also seems to be somewhat different. If my conjectures are right, Ye Yuan already won!"


    Du Rufeng''s gaze turned intent and he said, "Won just like this? I don''t know what''s happening inside!"


    Little Tong said, "Although we don''t know what''s happening inside, this move is definitely extraordinary. Because �� even I also felt danger!"


    Du Rufeng turned pale with fright when he heard that. He was aware of what kind of existence Little Tong was.


    Even he could actually feel danger. Then this blue filament ball was definitely extremely terrifying.


    Inside the filament ball, Ye Yuan''s two eyes showed an azure-blue color. Long sword swinging, it directly blew away Yang Shen''s blade.


    Yang Shen tried his best to urge time law, but time law seemed to have thoroughly lost connection with him, unable to feel it anymore.


    This situation made his heart sink to rock-bottom.


    Ye Yuan''s azure-blue eyes looked at Yang Shen, his eyes not carrying the least bit of emotion as he said, "You held back your strength, but have you ever thought that I also held back my strength? Don''t need to waste strength anymore. Inside this Divine Vestige Space, it''s untainted by myriad laws! The rules here are set by me. All the laws that you comprehend in the Heavenspan World are useless!"


    After Ye Yuan broke through to Divine Vestige Realm, he discovered that he had the ability to construct the Divine Vestige Space.


    Once he entered the Divine Vestige Space, Ye Yuan could control all powers of law!


    In this place, he was the sovereign!


    Clearly, Yang Shen did not believe it at all. He laughed wildly when he heard that and said, "You set the rules? Do you think that you''re the Creator? Killing people with laughter!"


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Don''t believe? Watch! Time, stop!"


    Only to see him lightly point a finger out, Yang Shen''s body suddenly turned stiff.


    He struggled desperately, but he discovered that he was unable to move at all!


    Yang Shen was very familiar with time laws. He could sense that this was not some so-called immobilization spell, but a genuine time stop!


    Titanic waves stirred in his heart, looking at Ye Yuan in immense shock.


    This �� How was this possible?


    Time stop was an extremely profound time law. One had to at least cultivate beyond the seventh firmament before they could control the power of law.


    But Ye Yuan clearly did not know time law, yet he could do it to this step.


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan did not lie, he could really control this space!


    Too inconceivable!


    It was too fantastical!


    There was actually still such a bizarre thing in this world.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "Looks like you believe it. Then, you can go and die."


    A hint of panic flashed across in Yang Shen''s heart. He had never panicked like this before.


    It was as if the being he was facing right now was really the Creator.


    "H-Hang on! I �� I was wrong, spare me! I promise that I absolutely won''t find trouble with you in the future!" Yang Shen shouted.


    Ye Yuan''s gaze did not carry the slightest emotion. He just said coolly, "It''s too late to admit your fault now."


    Done talking, Ye Yuan pointed another finger out. Yang Shen''s body disintegrated just like this, turning into nothingness.


    Looking at Yang Shen''s slowly disappearing figure, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest ripple.


    The current Ye Yuan, his disposition was greatly different from usual.


    He exuded an icy-cold aura from head to toe as if he was an ice-man without the least bit of emotion.


    No idea how long had passed either, the blue filaments slowly faded away, merging into Ye Yuan''s divine sea.


    Plop!


    Ye Yuan''s entire person lost consciousness, falling onto the ring.


    Of course, there was already no Yang Shen on the stage. There was only Ye Yuan alone left.


    Yang Shen was already dead until he could not be any deader.


    There was an uproar all round!


    Before this, Yang Shen was the sole candidate to win the championship. No one had ever thought that he would get second, let alone talk about dying.


    But now, he was killed by Ye Yuan silently just like this?


    Especially the High Clarity Sect''s elder, his one breath was pent up in his heart, virtually making him about to explode.


    The High Clarity Sect that was powerful until it terrified people actually had six disciples die all at once this time. How would he report on his mission when he returned?!


    Seeing that Du Rufeng was still in a daze, Little Tong reminded him and said, "Hey, you should announce the results."


    "Ah? Oh, oh!" Du Rufeng was akin to waking up from a dream.


    The shock that this scene brought to him was seriously too intense.


    That blue filament ball that was akin to a cocoon seemed to have the ability to devour everything, directly obliterating Yang Shen until not even dregs remained.


    Just how strong was this Ye Yuan?


    In reality, before this, he was not very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    After all, similar a possessor of a supreme law, Yang Shen''s realm was much higher than Ye Yuan''s.


    No one had expected that what they waited for was actually such a result.


    "This battle, Ye Yuan wins, Yang Shen perishes!" Du Rufeng said in a clear voice.


    The moment his voice faded, a figure dashed onto the stage like lightning, and suddenly smacked a palm toward Ye Yuan who was currently in a coma.


    High Clarity Sect''s elder!


    At this time, his two eyes were bloodshot, already completely lost his reason.


    Du Rufeng gave a cold snort and took a step out, and already arrived on the stage.


    Bang!


    Two mighty True God powerhouses suddenly exchanged a blow. The High Clarity Sect''s elder was immediately blasted flying.


    "Han Jianqing, what are you trying to do?" Du Rufeng said coldly.

 1836 Heavenly Dao is Heartless!

    He roared at Du Rufeng, "This brute killed six of my High Clarity Sect''s top disciples! Not killing him today, how will I give an account to the sect master when I go back?"


    Du Rufeng said coldly, "That''s your business! As long as Ye Yuan didn''t violate the temple''s rules, no matter how many people he kills, it doesn''t matter too!"


    Fresh blood kept flowing out of the corners of Han Jianqing''s mouth and he said in a cold voice, "The temple isn''t fair! The moment this Ye Yuan came, you all let him stay in Upper Groove Court, based on what? If say that Ye Yuan is a disciple that the temple groomed, then why didn''t you tell us beforehand? hy must you take such a path?"


    Once a person lost their reason, the angle of thinking about problems became very extreme.


    In Han Jianqing''s view, Ye Yuan was definitely a disciple that the temple groomed in secret. However, he was deliberately instructed to participate in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave. Wasn''t this nauseating people?


    Du Rufeng''s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, "Han Jianqing, keep talking nonsense and slandering the temple, you''ll bear the consequences yourself!"


    At this time, several figures appeared next to Du Rufeng. These were all the temple''s elders. All of them were True God Realm powerhouses.


    Seeing such a line-up, Han Jianqing seemed to have a basin of cold water splash down overhead.


    One Du Rufeng and he was not a match already, let alone so many True God powerhouses.


    "I''m �� unreconciled to it!" Han Jianqing roared angrily.


    Du Rufeng''s expression eased up slightly and he said coolly, "The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s original intention was to let the disciples who enter the temple obtain more harvests and stimulate greater potential. The reason why it doesn''t forbid killing is to let them let loose. But actually, situations where massacres are caused are exceedingly rare. This time, it was originally you all who initiated trouble first but want to blame others. What logic is this? Right and wrong, everyone has a weighing scale in their hearts. I believe that no need me to say anymore and everyone is also clear in their hearts!"


    When everyone heard that, they secretly nodded their heads.


    This matter was indeed provoked first by the High Clarity Sect. But the result now was that the arm could not twist the thigh, and wanted to vent their anger on Ye Yuan.


    In reality, at first, everyone indeed felt bitter about the Shadowmoon Sect staying in Upper Groove Court. They had unhappiness in their hearts.


    But by now, they had long already tossed this kind of thinking to the back of their minds.


    Ye Yuan possessed incomparably powerful martial strength and also possessed superb alchemy skills. He indeed had the qualifications to stay in Upper Groove Court.


    Even though they all did not know what the Treasure Pig was, without a doubt, its origins were not ordinary.


    Du Rufeng''s gaze was scorching as he said, "Han Jianqing, on the account that you were rash for a moment, you''re spared from death! But you insulted the temple. Death penalty can be spared, but it''s hard to escape punishment. Today, you''ll be expelled from the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm and return to the sect to be confined for a thousand years, not to leave the mountain! Do you submit?"


    Han Jianqing''s face turned ashen, and he raised his head to the sky and heaved a long sigh as he said, "Forget it, Han Jianqing accepts the punishment!"


    In the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, no matter how powerful the sect, they could not contend with the temple too.


    The temple was a paramount existence.


    Because they had Empyrean powerhouses!


    This battle ending, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s situation became even more complicated and confusing.


    Yang Shen was already dead, he was naturally unable to become the temple''s disciple.


    This way, the struggle for the second camp became abnormally fierce.


    While Ye Yuan also tasted his Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave loss because of the fight with Yang Shen.


    This coma of his lasted ten days and nights, directly missing the next fight, and was issued with a loss.


    However, even if he lost, he still firmly occupied the throne of first place.


    Furthermore, everyone all knew that they were no longer able to shake Ye Yuan''s position.


    ...


    Ten days later, Ye Yuan finally slowly opened both eyes.


    "You''re awake!" When Baili Qingyan saw Ye Yuan wake up, she could not help being excited.


    Little Tong''s face also showed a rare smile and said with a faint smile, "Like I said, this kid won''t die, but you guys don''t believe."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes looked a little confused, the gaze that looked at Baili Qingyan was somewhat unfamiliar.


    That unfamiliar look gave Baili Qingyan a fright.


    "What? You �� You don''t even recognize me anymore?" Baili Qingyan''s face changed and said.


    But very soon, Ye Yuan''s eyes recovered clarity and he said with a smile, "Ha, S-Senior Apprentice Sister Baili what, why would I not recognize? Maybe the time that I was in a coma was a little long, and there''s some issues. Unleashing that martial technique is still a pretty big burden on me."


    Only then did Baili Qingyan feel relieved and said with a smile, "I really didn''t expect that even the Yang Shen who comprehended time laws died in your hands!"


    By the side, Yi Qingxiang also said, "Ye Yuan, you aren''t aware of this, but when our Shadowmoon Sect disciples go out now, we really feel extra proud. This is all thanks to you!"


    No matter where, people respected the strong and looked down on the weak.


    Thinking about Zhu Wen''s attitude when they first came, it truly felt like a lifetime had passed.


    Now, Zhu Wen''s attitude towards them already underwent a 180-degree great transformation, addressing them as brothers on every occasion.


    And all these stemmed from the talent and strength that Ye Yuan displayed.


    After sending everyone away, Ye Yuan''s expression became somewhat ugly.


    "You seem to be not quite right!" Little Tong said.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard that and forced a smile as he said, "How so? I''m completely fine right now."


    Little Tong looked intently at Ye Yuan and said in a childish tone, "I can feel that a subtle change happened to you. But as for the specifics of what the change is, I can''t pinpoint it either."


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Tong rather surprised, this kid''s eyes were so discerning!


    He let out a sigh and said, "You saw the Divine Vestige Space?"


    Little Tong nodded his head and did not speak.


    He naturally saw the Divine Vestige Space. Furthermore, that Divine Vestige Space gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.


    Ye Yuan continued: "This martial technique seemed to have affected my temperament!"


    Talking up to here, Ye Yuan''s expression also became solemn.


    Recalling the him inside the Divine Vestige Space, Ye Yuan felt very unfamiliar with the former.


    The him at that time was like an ice-cold machine, not having the slightest emotion.


    Even if he recovered now, Ye Yuan could feel that the him at that time affected the current him.


    About this matter, Ye Yuan could not quite understand it.


    Logically speaking, the Divine Vestige Space was a product of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon after cultivating to rank five. It was the accessory of this cultivation method and should not have this kind of sequela.


    But why would this kind of strange situation occur?


    Could it be that the Chaos Heavenspan Canon he cultivated had a problem?


    Ye Yuan could not figure out after racking his brains!


    He also communicated with Dustless about this situation, but Dustless was at a loss too.


    When Little Tong heard that, his brows furrowed too and he said, "This martial technique of yours is indeed formidable. I sensed a strong Heavenly Dao aura within. Clearly, this Divine Vestige Space of yours hasn''t reached grand completion yet. But you have to know one thing �� ''Heavenly Dao is heartless''!"


    Ye Yuan''s face changed, and his brows were practically knitted together as he ruminated further. "Heavenly Dao is heartless? Heavenly Dao is heartless! How could this be?"

 1837 Realm Heart Island

    But because of this great battle, the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s setup underwent a dramatic change.


    Ye Yuan naturally outshone the others, no one could surpass him anymore.


    Even when encountering Luo Zhen later, he also directly admitted defeat after a hundred moves.


    However, Luo Zhen''s position of second place was also considered secure.


    But the struggle for third to fifth place seemed especially intense.


    The competition continued for more than a year, but the gap between third place and tenth place also did not pull apart.


    Among these eight people, any one of them had a possibility of entering the top five in the end.


    However, in the final round, no one could have expected that Baili Qingyan obtained the fourth place in the end.


    This way, the Shadowmoon Sect suddenly got two places.


    Du Rufeng stood on the high platform and announced calmly, "This Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave''s top five, Ye Yuan, Luo Zhen, Tian Dajiang, Baili Qingyan, and Li Long, shall enter the temple. Ten days later, these five people will enter the void realm heart and comprehend Great Dao. The other disciples can go up Skyjade Cliff to comprehend Dao for ten years. After ten years, you must leave the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm!"


    The disciples who took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, after hearing Du Rufeng''s announcement, they all sighed endlessly.


    "Before coming to the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm, no one could have imagined that the High Clarity Sect would actually be shaved bald, right?"


    "Isn''t that so? Later on, Chen Tianlian practically gave up himself. Whoever he met, he directly conceded defeat. He was afraid that Ye Yuan would kill him! What a coward, the High Clarity Sect''s face is utterly lost by him!"


    "Heh, what face does the High Clarity Sect still have? This can''t blame him either. Even Yang Shen died in Ye Yuan''s hands, so how can he not be scared? But like this is good too. At least, he preserved his life."


    "In comparison, the little-known Shadowmoon Sect actually obtained two seats. This really made people''s jaws drop."


    ...


    The powerful High Clarity Sect did not even have one enter the top five in the end.


    Chen Tianlin''s strength originally could definitely enter the top five. But ever since Yang Shen was killed, he would concede no matter who he met.


    Chen Tianlin was very smart. He yielded to Ye Yuan in this manner, hoping that he would show mercy and not kill him.


    In the end, Ye Yuan indeed let him go.


    During this Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, Ye Yuan''s domineering rise changed the fate of many genius disciples.


    "Ye Yuan, thank you!" Baili Qingyan came in front of Ye Yuan and gave thanks sincerely.


    But in this one year plus time, Ye Yuan first helped her refine the Jadethaw Purpleheart Pill, then fed her moves, causing her strength to improve greatly. Only then did she rank into the top five.


    One could say that for her to be able to enter the temple, it was entirely forged by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your talent is pretty good in the first place. I was merely adding flowers to embroidery."


    Baili Qingyan could not resist rolling her eyes at Ye Yuan. Was this guy knocking people down on purpose?


    Comparing talent, was there anyone greater than you?


    What was laughable was that she even thought that Ye Yuan was a trash back then, dragging Ye Yuan into a partnership to enter the Shadowmoon Mountain Range.


    Thinking about it now, Baili Qingyan actually felt a hint of sweetness.


    Except, she realized now that along with the passing of time, the sense of alienation between Ye Yuan and her was actually gradually increasing.


    This was not just the disparity in strength, but that Ye Yuan seemed to have the intention of keeping her at a distance.


    This kind of alienation was not the alienation of distance, but it was emotional estrangement.


    It seemed that no matter what and when, Ye Yuan would have a professional-like attitude toward her.


    This attitude made Baili Qingyan very dejected.


    At this time, Xu Yan also went to congratulate. Xu Yan said, "Before coming to the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm, he never would have dreamed that our Shadowmoon Sect can actually obtain two spots. When we return, the sect master will definitely be very happy."


    Obtaining two spots was not just a matter of reputation. The temple would also give certain rewards to True God level sects according to headcount.


    This kind of reward had a very far-reaching impact on True God level sects.


    Hence, that was why the various major sects would spare no efforts to groom disciples and supply talents to the temple.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, "This one year plus, Ye Yuan is grateful for Elder Xu''s care and is endlessly grateful. Ye Yuan has nothing to repay with and presented Buddha with borrowed flowers, giving these medicinal pills to Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang and Senior Apprentice Brother Yi."


    Jiang Xueyan and Yi Qingxiang''s eyes turned sharp and they cried out in shock: "Tendon Changing Spirit Bamboo Pill, Brahma Dragon Break Pill, these �� these medicinal pills are too precious!"


    Although these spirit medicines were all sealed, they knew that Ye Yuan taking action would absolutely all be divine-grade and above quality.


    These medicinal pills, miss this village and there would not be this shop anymore.


    Among the sects, it was absolutely impossible for there to be anyone who could refine this grade of medicinal pills.


    These medicinal pills had tremendous benefits to the two people''s cultivation in the future. It can let him pass barriers smoothly, going further!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Thanks to Treasure Pig, I don''t lack spirit medicines when refining pills now. Hence, I dug some medicinal pills from his mouth and gave them to you."


    The two people looked at Ye Yuan, eyes full of gratitude.


    "This �� Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, in the past, it was all my fault, hope that you don''t take it badly," Jiang Xueyan''s face turned red as she apologized.


    Yi Qingxiang also said, "Back then, I also harbored malicious intentions toward Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. Mentioning this, I''m really ashamed."


    Presently, they already understood that whatever faction struggle was simply floating clouds in front of a genuine powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, "That''s all past matters, don''t need to mention anymore. But, there are some words that I want to remind you guys, the might of a sect isn''t brought up amidst internal friction. Rather than spend time bringing other factions down, might as well spend more time to cultivate."


    The two nodded their heads, deeply feeling that way too.


    ...


    On a small boat, seven people and one pig were currently heading for the depths of the Spirit Nether Sea.


    "Bamboo Groove Holy Realm is merely the outermost rites ground of the temple, the place that connects the temple with the outside world. The temple has a total of five palaces, branched out on five islands. They are respectively controlled by five great Empyrean elders. And these five great islands surround another island. It''s the most important place in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm: the Realm Heart Island. The heart of the void realm is on this Realm Heart Island."


    Du Rufeng spoke with ease and fluency, introducing the temple''s situation to the five disciples.


    As the few people listened, their faces revealed rapt looks.


    This place was where the nucleus of the Bamboo Groove Void Realm lay!


    The small boat pulled into the shore, Du Rufeng said to the few people, "There are restrictions everywhere on Realm Heart Island, all of you follow closely! Once you trigger the restrictions, immortals can''t save you guys too!"


    The few people''s expressions turned fearful when they heard that, revealing a hint of solemnness.


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Tong and said with a curious face, "We''re going to the heart of the void realm. You''re going too?"


    Little Tong rolled his eyes and said huffily, "Why? You have a problem?"


    Du Rufeng chuckled and said, "Opening the heart of the void realm needs to borrow the power of Lord Treasure Pig. And Lord Treasure Pig and Little Tong are always together. So, he definitely has to go."


    "Heard that?" Little Tong said with a smug look.


    "Grunt, grunt!"


    Treasure Pig also grunted at Ye Yuan like taking credit for someone else''s achievements.

 1838 Maybe, This Is a So-Called Genius

    The group of people arrived outside of a barrier. Ye Yuan immediately felt the spatial force that hit him head-on.


    Du Rufeng nodded and said, "The heart of the void realm is the cornerstone of the void realm, the entire Bamboo Groove Void Realm built on it. The spatial power here is naturally the strongest. You''re the most adept in spatial law, perhaps you might have some gains."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, revealing a look of anticipation.


    Everyone was just about to continue moving on when two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air and asked, "Halt! Who goes there?"


    These two people were dressed in black, their auras being incomparably powerful.


    When these two people appeared, Ye Yuan''s pupils suddenly constricted.


    Spatial law!


    These two people both knew spatial law. Furthermore, their comprehensions were exceedingly high.


    Du Rufeng said in a clear voice, "Kong Wen, Kong Chen, why? Don''t even recognize me anymore?"


    "Oh, turns out that it''s Master Du! You''re a rare guest, what wind blew you here?" Kong Wen laughed and said.


    Du Rufeng smiled and said, "Isn''t the once-a-thousand-years Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave here? It just so happens that I was tasked with this errand this time. I brought over these disciples who passed the test and let them enter the heart of the void realm to comprehend."


    Kong Wen''s gaze swept a glance over Ye Yuan and the others. He said with a frown, "Turns out that it''s the disciples who just entered the temple. But �� the quality of this season is somewhat poor. Why is there even a middle-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity?"


    In this one year plus, virtually every disciple who took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave made substantial progress.


    Ye Yuan as one of the best among them was naturally no exception either.


    Not long ago, his realm made a small improvement and broke through. He was now a middle-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Although it was still within a minor realm, this cultivation speed was actually very fast already.


    One had to know, for ordinary Celestial Deity powerhouses to want to break through, it was all calculated with thousands, even several tens of thousands of years.


    However, Kong Wen''s words made everyone''s faces reveal peculiar looks.


    Poor quality?


    Ye Yuan''s quality should not be too good!


    Du Rufeng laughed and said, "Huhu, Brother Kong Wen has made an error of judgment. Ye Yuan overpowered the masses in this Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, and is fully-deserving of the first place."


    Kong Wen was taken aback and immediately said even more disdainfully, "He got the first place? Huhu, that shows even more that this season''s disciples are too poor!"


    "Snort!"


    At this time, Little Tong suddenly let out a cold snort.


    Only then did Kong Wen duo notice that there was actually a child who followed along too.


    However, when they saw the Treasure Pig in the child''s arms, their faces could not help changing greatly.


    "Alright, stop talking rubbish, hurry up and open the barrier to let us in." Du Rufeng said coolly.


    Kong Wen duo did not say anymore, immediately taking out two magic weapons, and forcefully opened up a door in the barrier.


    Du Rufeng continued and said, "You all go first, I''ll follow right after."


    Ye Yuan''s eyes were flickering incessantly. No one knew what he was thinking about.


    But he still entered the barrier together with the others.


    After everyone left, Kong Wen said in surprise, "That �� Could that child be �� that lord?"


    Du Rufeng had a solemn look and said in a deep voice, "The few great island masters'' conflict, you guys are also aware of it. This matter, you guys had best take it as you didn''t see anything. Otherwise �� the consequences are not what you can bear!"


    The two people''s gazes turned intent and they said, "Got it!"


    ...


    Above the void, an enormous chunk of crystal was suspended there.


    Seeing the heart of the void realm, Ye Yuan''s mind stirred.


    Laying low in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm for so long, he finally saw the heart of the void realm today.


    As long as he opened up the heart of the void realm and entered it, he would be able to return to the Heavenspan World.


    "Treasure Pig, can you really open up the heart of the void realm?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    The heart of the void realm was normally in a sealed state. The Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s space was extremely stable. Its normal operation did not need to activate its complete state.


    Only when new disciples entered the sect would it open once.


    "Grunt! Grunt!"


    Treasure Pig grunted at Ye Yuan, seemingly expressing its displeasure.


    Suddenly, its body shuddered, two rays of light suddenly shot out of its nose, flying straight for the heart of the void realm.


    Bang!


    The heart of the void realm emitted intense vibrations. Then, it burst forth with a blinding light.


    A boundless spatial power rapidly spread out, making Ye Yuan''s heart float up.


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed, threw several medicinal pills over, and said with a smile, "Well done, Treasure Pig! You''re indeed amazing!"


    Treasure Pig swallowed several medicinal pills in one gulp and actually grinned at Ye Yuan, boring into his bosom all at once.


    Little Tong snorted coldly and said, "Gluttonous pig!"


    In this enchantment, spatial law revolved non-stop. Ye Yuan was impacted by the power of laws all of a sudden until he was almost asphyxiating.


    Actually, what was contained inside this heart of the void realm was not just spatial power of law, but contained the source of a world, an existence similar to that of Heavenly Dao.


    This kind of source power was infinitely beneficial to martial artists.


    But Ye Yuan was the most sensitive towards spatial law, so his comprehension in this aspect was also the deepest.


    Suddenly, a hint of comprehension rushed to his head. Ye Yuan''s entire person was akin to being electrocuted, standing transfixed on the spot.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Little Tong''s eyes and he cried out in surprise, "Comprehended so fast? This kid, really ��"


    Ye Yuan had already stopped at third firmament spatial law for very long. Today, under the envelopment of this powerful spatial law, he finally produced a trace of enlightenment and started breaking through.


    When the others saw this scene, they were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Luo Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, this is a so-called genius!"


    These words coming out of his mouth were really rather bitter.


    In this thousand over years, he had always been crowned with the title of a genius. He himself thought so too.


    Regardless of whether it was cultivation speed or laws comprehension, he examined his own conscience and felt that he did not lose to anyone.


    All the way until he saw Ye Yuan gain enlightenment on Dao today, this confidence was utterly shattered into pieces.


    The other four people, including Baili Qingyan, all deeply felt that way too as they nodded their heads.


    "This isn''t an ordinary law, but this is one of the supreme laws, spatial law! This guy is really a freak!" Li Long could not resist spitting, being dealt a terrible blow.


    Under everyone''s eyes, Ye Yuan took a step out, his body immediately vanishing.


    Ye Yuan blended right into the void.


    While at this time, Du Rufeng, Kong Wen, and Kong Chen, also entered the barrier and just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan submerging into the void, their eyes opening wide.


    "This �� This is spatial law! He comprehended the fourth firmament spatial law! This kid was actually so monstrous?" Kong Wen said in immense shock.


    "His profound accumulations erupted. Encountering the spatial power of the heart of the void realm, his power of law directly achieved mastery through comprehensive study of the subject, and understood! We cannot compare to this child!" Kong Wen also said.


    Even Du Rufeng was also inexplicably shocked.


    He knew that Ye Yuan might very likely gain enlightenment on Dao, but he did not think that it would be this fast.


    The others had not started yet and he already comprehended!

 1839 Kidnapping an Empyrean

    "Tsk tsk, us two brothers spent nearly 400 thousand years to comprehend to fourth firmament spatial law! This brat is just over a thousand years old and actually already did it to this level!" Kong Wen lamented.


    The Kong Family was a family clan that guarded the heart of the void realm for generations. They had a natural advantage in comprehending spatial law.


    Furthermore, the Kong brothers were also considered among the best in the Kong Family.


    But even so, they only started comprehending spatial law when they reached the late-stage Celestial Deity Realm.


    Furthermore, the time that they spent was extremely long!


    But Ye Yuan only used a thousand over years and completed something that they comprehended for 400 thousand years.


    This kind of natural aptitude could be rated as freakish.


    Little Tong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Wonder who was it who said that this season''s disciples can''t make it!"


    Kong Wen''s expression turned stiff and he said embarrassedly, "Your Excellency, I �� Didn''t I not know?"


    Little Tong snorted coldly and said, "If you don''t know, then don''t simply say things. Some people are existences that you have to look up to all your life. Therefore, be more low-key in conduct."


    Kong Wen had an appearance like he learned a lesson and said, "Yes, Your Excellency! Kong Wen won''t dare next time!"


    Right at this time, the Ye Yuan above the void slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh as he said, "Spatial law is indeed incredibly marvelous. The comprehension ends here as well."


    When the Kong Wen duo heard these words, they nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood and cursed, "You scoundrelly brat, intentionally aggravating us? From initial-stage fourth firmament to peak initial-stage, I used a full 50 thousand years!"


    Spending three years'' time, Ye Yuan''s spatial law comprehension reached peak initial-stage Fourth Firmament and was unable to make any more progress.


    Ye Yuan said it not without reason. But this speed in Kong pWen two people''s view was already a heaven-defying existence. It was also no wonder that he was very depressed when he heard it.


    Ye Yuan''s figure swayed. When he appeared again, he already arrived beside Little Tong and the rest.


    Spatial law fourth level, spatial shift!


    Before this, Ye Yuan could shuttle through the void, but it was all within a very small range.


    But now, Ye Yuan would be several hundred thousand miles away with a thought. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.


    Celestial Deity powerhouses could also utilize spatial law and shuttle through the void. But their speed compared to Ye Yuan''s was like heaven and earth.


    Little Tong was somewhat uncertain, not knowing what Ye Yuan had up his sleeves, but he still followed.


    "What is it? Quickly spit out what you have!" The two people came to a deserted place and Little Tong said with displeasure.


    Ye Yuan flashed a smile at Little Tong and suddenly made a move like lightning, swiftly tapping a few times on Little Tong''s body.


    Little Tong''s face changed, unable to use an ounce of his strength.


    "Boy, do you know what you''re doing?" Little Tong said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don''t get agitated first, I have something to discuss with you, my Lord Empyrean!"


    Little Tong''s face changed and he said, "What are you talking about? I don''t understand!"


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "A straightforward person doesn''t beat around the bush, Lord Empyrean. Stop pretending. When those True God powerhouses saw you, each and every one of their faces was not right. Even I can''t even perceive this, then I''d also be too stupid."


    Actually, Ye Yuan felt that something was wrong with Little Tong long ago. He kept saying that Treasure Pig was his pet, but how could a strange pet like Treasure Pig be handed to a child?


    Also, even though Du Rufeng deliberately hid it, his respect for Little Tong sometimes showed up unintentionally.


    Coupled with the expressions when the Kong brothers saw Little Tong, Ye Yuan was very certain that Little Tong was not some Empyrean powerhouse''s grandson, but the Empyrean himself!


    It was just that no idea for what reason, Little Tong became this current appearance.


    Little Tong''s expression was ugly to the extreme and he said, "Could it be that you''re Daoless that old dog''s man? Don''t you forget, this place is the divine temple! If you dare to touch me, Du Rufeng and the Kong brothers won''t let you off!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Daoless? That''s also an Empyrean powerhouse of the temple, right? But he has nothing to do with me. Calling you here, I actually just want to negotiate a deal with you."


    Only after hearing Ye Yuan''s words did Little Tong''s face ease up slightly.


    But he also knew that the deal Ye Yuan was talking to him about was definitely not something good. Otherwise, he also would not need to restrain him.


    This fellow had such gall. Since he knew his identity, he still dared to take liberties with him. Wasn''t he scared of him taking revenge?


    "Speak!" Little Tong said huffily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I want to invite you to go to the Heavenspan World together with me!"


    Hearing this, Little Tong''s expression suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise: "You! You''re a person of the Heavenspan World? This �� This is impossible!"


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are you talking about my divine essence? Huhu, the cultivation method that I cultivate is a little special. Mimicking the Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s divine essence isn''t a big deal to me."


    Little Tong''s expression was ugly as he said, "Impossible! You can forget about it!"


    Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders, patted Treasure Pig''s baby pink little head, and said with a doleful look, "Treasure Pig, sorry, not that I''m not willing to refine medicinal pills for you. If we''re fated in the future �� we''ll still meet again."


    "Grunt, grunt!"


    Treasure Pig suddenly broke free from Little Tong''s arms and used a pair of short pig hoofs to hug Ye Yuan''s thighs, eyes brimming with tears, a look of reluctance to part.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Not that I''m heartless, it''s that the Heavenspan World still has many things waiting for me to go do! Uh �� maybe in the future, when I finish settling everything, I''ll come to the Bamboo Groove Void Realm to find you again, alright?"


    Treasure Pig''s little head shook like a rattle-drum, clutching Ye Yuan''s leg desperately, unwilling to let go.


    When Little Tong saw this scene, he was furious until he gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Shameless!"


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Tong and said helplessly, "Actually, I took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, my goal was in order to enter the heart of the void realm. It''s just a pity that I have ties in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm now. Once I leave the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, you all will definitely make a move on the Shadowmoon Sect. No choice, I can only take this step. Furthermore, your current state isn''t able to refine medicinal pills for Treasure Pig at all. You going to the Heavenspan World together with me is the best choice."


    Little Tong looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, not expecting that he actually had such plans.


    It seemed like this boy was someone who valued relationships.


    Actually, on the whole, Ye Yuan did not live happily in the Shadowmoon Sect.


    In fact, for the sake of killing Qian Ye, he even incurred resentment with the sect master.


    But, without the Shadowmoon Sect, this springboard, there was no way he could enter the heart of the void realm.


    Ye Yuan asked for a clear conscience when doing things.


    If he left the Bamboo Groove Void Realm rashly, it would definitely implicate the Shadowmoon Sect. They might even be destroyed because of it.


    Before he left, he had no choice but to take the Shadowmoon Sect into consideration.


    Originally, he was still struggling with how to deal with this matter. But after he discovered Little Tong''s identity, he had this bold plan.


    Furthermore, Treasure Pig was very reliant on Ye Yuan now. If Ye Yuan left, probably no one could satisfy it anymore.

 1840 What is Love?

    He was an exalted Empyrean powerhouse. Even if his strength was no longer there now, he was also not what anybody could knead.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan really dared to do something to him.


    As long as anyone found out, Ye Yuan would definitely die.


    How did the current Little Tong still look like a little kid? His face was full of wisdom that was not commensurate with his age.


    Treasure Pig looked back at Little Tong with a pitiful appearance. It truly gave people a feeling of unable to help to show tender care when one saw it.


    But Little Tong snorted coldly and said, "You stupid pig, it''s none of your business here. Get back here for me!"


    Treasure Pig''s head shook like a rattle-drum but hugged Ye Yuan''s leg even harder.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heavenly Emperor Realm! Don''t you wish to step into the realm of Heavenly Emperor?"


    Little Tong''s expression finally had a change.


    But very soon, he laughed coldly and said, "Heh, Heavenly Emperor Realm, just the likes of you, a measly Celestial Deity Realm, also dares to make this kind of promise to me?"


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said with a faint smile, "Bamboo Groove Void Realm is only a tiny place in the end, a subsidiary of the Heavenspan World. Even if you''re a god-like existence in this place, it''s ultimately just deceiving yourself and others too, no? Moreover, your current situation in the temple probably isn''t too good, right?"


    Little Tong''s expression changed again and again, Ye Yuan''s observation ability was too sharp.


    He had clearly never been in contact with the temple''s upper echelons and knew absolutely nothing about the temple''s situation. Just by relying on what he saw and his guts, he could guess so many things.


    This mind was tough for ordinary people to match!


    Furthermore, the most, most important thing was that Ye Yuan''s words hit the bottom of his heart.


    They all, these Bamboo Groove Void Realm''s supreme powerhouses, all enjoyed the worship of all life, enjoying the treatment of a god.


    They were afraid of facing the outside world.


    Empyrean powerhouses were indeed a formidable force in the Heavenspan World. But to talk about being powerful, that could not be said no matter what.


    There were still Heavenly Emperor powerhouses above Empyreans. There were Transcendent Heavenly Emperors, and even Dao Ancestors!


    What did Empyreans count for?


    Any random Heavenly Emperor powerhouse that came out could instantly kill them!


    Putting it bluntly, they were merely frogs at the bottom of a well, intoxicated in their own world, that was all.


    Little Tong was silent, his expression rather ugly.


    "Grunt, grunt ��"


    Little Tong did not speak, but Treasure Pig sounded out.


    That meaning was very clear, Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills were tastier than Little Tong''s!


    Little Tong wished to kick it flying with a foot and said furiously, "You creature who lives off me while secretly helping others, you scram with him then. The further you scram, the better!"


    Treasure Pig had an aggrieved look, it was just telling the truth.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he also could not help smiling.


    Treasure Pig''s requirement towards the quality of medicinal pills was exceedingly high. He was already used to eating Ye Yuan''s medicinal pills now. Du Rufeng''s medicinal pills were already tasteless to him.


    "Since that''s the case, how do you know that I''m unable to refine medicinal pills to let you break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future?"


    Finished saying these, Ye Yuan stopped talking, quietly waiting for Little Tong''s outcome.


    He was confident in himself that Little Tong would definitely agree.


    His strength was currently very weak, staying in the temple was very dangerous instead. Might as well go outside together with him and make his break.


    "Alright, you win. I''ll go with you! Now, release the restrictions on me!" No idea how long had passed, Little Tong finally agreed.


    Hearing Little Tong agree, Treasure Pig immediately started jumping happily.


    Nothing was more important than delicious food.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That won''t do, an Empyrean powerhouse who became a child is also an Empyrean powerhouse. I don''t want to take my life as a joke. I have a poison here that I specially made for you. When you consume it, I''ll release the restrictions for you."


    Little Tong was angered until his expression was livid. Glaring fiercely at Ye Yuan, he said, "Punk, when I recover my strength, I''ll definitely kill you straight away!"


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You won''t! Kill me and there won''t be anyone to refine pills for Treasure Pig anymore. Don''t you say so, Treasure Pig?"


    Treasure Pig nodded its head very seriously and tunneled into Ye Yuan''s bosom with a grunt.


    ...


    "What? You want to enter the Heavenspan World?" When Du Rufeng heard Little Tong''s words, he nearly jumped up.


    Little Tong said with a serious look, "I''ve thought about it, better leave first for the time being. I returned to boyhood from old age because of my cultivation method. This matter can''t be hidden for long. Once Daoless that old fogey knows about my current situation, he likely won''t let me off."


    Du Rufeng''s face changed and he said, "Then �� this disciple will follow you together to the Heavenspan World!"


    Little Tong shook his head and said, "No, even if you go, you can''t be of any help too. Ye Yuan accompanying me will do."


    Du Rufeng was taken aback and said, "Y-Ye Yuan?"


    Little Tong could not resist rolling his eyes and said with a nod, "Right now, Treasure Pig has stopped eating your medicinal pills already. Do you think that you can replace Ye Yuan''s position? Relax, just take it as bringing him out to train. This boy is a promising talent."


    Du Rufeng nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too, and said, "Then �� alright, but Your Excellency must be careful. The Heavenspan World can''t compare to the Bamboo Groove Void Realm. Experts are plentiful like clouds."


    With this excuse, Ye Yuan going to the Heavenspan World became proper and justified.


    He also did not need to worry that the temple would vent their anger on the Shadowmoon Sect because of this.


    Before leaving the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, Du Rufeng even found a large pile of rank five spirit medicines and directly gave it to Ye Yuan.


    Treasure Pig was a big glutton, not bringing along enough food would not do.


    Actually, after Ye Yuan opened up the Purple Extreme Hall''s second level, he was also rather wealthy now. Purchasing rank five spirit medicines was still doable.


    But with the temple''s present, he naturally accepted it graciously too.


    Ten days later, two people and one pig entered the heart of the void realm, disappearing from everyone''s sight.


    ...


    Seven years later, the other four people recovered from their enlightenment.


    "Looks like you all had significant harvests. Alright, this matter is settled. This old man can now go back and report on the fulfillment of the mission. Come on," Du Rufeng said coolly.


    But Baili Qingyan''s brows furrowed and she said, "Elder Du, where''s Ye Yuan? Why is he not here?"


    Du Rufeng said, "Ye Yuan finished comprehending one step ahead of you guys. The temple just happened to have a mission for him, so he left first."


    Baili Qingyan suddenly had a trace of an ominous feeling in her heart and she said, "Mission? Ye Yuan is merely a disciple who just entered the sect, what kind of mission would he be assigned? Also, Little Tong and Treasure Pig are also gone! Elder Du, what in the world happened."


    Du Rufeng''s face was rather ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, "This is the temple''s business. How is it your turn to tell us what to do?"


    Baili Qingyan was very smart. Ye Yuan''s disappearance was too unusual, he kept feeling that something happened and felt empty in her heart as if she lost something.


    Her heart hurt!


    "Sorry, Elder Du, I ��" Baili Qingyan felt wronged as she said.


    How could Du Rufeng not know her thoughts? He let out a sigh and said, "Alright, come on!"


    Baili Qingyan nodded her head and followed everyone, preparing to leave.


    But when everyone was not paying attention, Baili Qingyan suddenly took a step, flying towards the heart of the void realm, disappearing.


    When Du Rufeng saw her disappearing back view, he could not help shaking his head. With his strength, if he really wanted to stop Baili Qingyan, he could naturally do it.


    But he did not.


    Du Rufeng sighed and said, "Pray ask what is love, guiding people till death do them apart! Forget it, let her be! The few of you, today''s matter, you''re absolutely not allowed to say a word! Otherwise, you all know the consequences!"

 Chapter 1841 - Ten Bowls Topple

    The prosperity of an imperial capital was what imperial cities could not compare to.


    Thousand Soar Imperial Capital occupied a vast area, it was several dozen times larger than ordinary imperial cities.


    Divine Lord Realm powerhouses that were hard to see in imperial cities were as plentiful as oxen hair here.


    Even Celestial Deity powerhouses could be seen everywhere too.


    In a small tavern, an eight to nine years old little kid was hugging a pink piglet. Beside even sat a young man.


    They were precisely Ye Yuan and co. who came out of the Bamboo Groove Void Realm.


    "Brat, why do we have to come here?" Little Tong asked curiously.


    The few of them had drifted in the heart of the void realm for as long as ten years before returning to the Heavenspan World.


    But the moment the few people came out, they were in a mountain range in the vicinity of Thousand Soar Imperial Capital.


    Ye Yuan originally planned on returning to the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. But no idea why, Dustless made him stay in Thousand Soar Imperial Capital temporarily.


    Ye Yuan asked him why, but he himself did not know either. He just said that there was a feeling from forces beyond his control that there would be a major event happening near Thousand Soar Imperial Capital recently, which seemed to be related to them.


    Regarding Dustless''s supernatural feeling, although Ye Yuan was doubtful, he did not say much.


    Martial artists'' sudden impulse tend to be very efficacious.


    Little Tong''s question made Ye Yuan unable to answer. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Don''t ask me, I don''t know either."


    Little Tong was not surprised and just said coolly, "Then what should we do now?"


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, "Find a place to stay first. I reckon that before long, there will be results."


    This tavern was not large, but the dishes were pretty good. Ye Yuan and Little Tong both dug into it with relish.


    Reaching Ye Yuan''s realm, he could long already not need to eat. But there were still many martial artists who liked to drink alcohol and eat meat in taverns.


    Firstly, these wine and meat were mostly not ordinary products. They were helpful to martial artists'' cultivation.


    Secondly, it was also to relieve the dreariness of cultivation and satisfy one''s desire for good food.


    The two people were currently chowing down when a handsome young man suddenly came to Ye Yuan''s side and smiled at Ye Yuan as he said, "This brother, this tavern''s business is quite good. Can you share a table with me? Your wine and food, I''ll treat it."


    Ye Yuan raised his eyes to look at this young man and saw that his face did not have the least bit of prodigiousness, totally different from those profligate sons.


    Hence, Ye Yuan nodded his head and made an inviting gesture, saying coolly, "Sit then."


    That handsome young man was delighted when he saw the situation and shouted: "Waiter, bring a set of bowl and chopsticks, and serve some fine dishes."


    Finished saying, he smiled at Ye Yuan and said, "I''m Leng Xu, I wonder how to address brother?"


    "Ye Yuan."


    "Haha, turns out that it''s Brother Ye. Our meeting is fate! Come, bottoms up!"


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and clinked glasses with the other party, downing in one shot.


    "Haha, great! Brother Ye, this inn''s Ten Bowls Topple is rather powerful. Why don''t we compete without using divine essence?"


    Those who came here to drink were mostly looking for fun and to relax.


    If one used divine essence to refine the alcoholic strength, it was naturally pointless already.


    But for Celestial Deity powerhouses to want to really get drunk, it was naturally not that easy.


    To be able to bring down a Celestial Deity powerhouse in ten bowls, the alcoholic strength of this alcohol could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, cheers!"


    Finished saying, the two people raised a glass and drank another bowl.


    In a twinkle, ten bowls went down to the belly, but no intoxication could be seen from the two.


    The other tables were alarmed by the happenings on this side. Seeing Ye Yuan and Leng Xu down one bowl after another, they could not help staring dumbfoundedly with slack jaws.


    "Eh? That''s the Leng Family''s young patriarch, right? No wonder he''s so impressive. Heard that at his peak, he drank 46 bowls of Ten Bowls Topple in one go! Ever since then, he was conferred as the god of wine in this place!"


    "However, that young man next to him is similarly impressive, to actually fight until he''s evenly-matched with Young Patriarch Leng!"


    "Heh, it''s no use! The name of Ten Bowls Topple isn''t for show. After exceeding ten bowls, this alcohol kick will double up. I reckon that he can at most drink 20 bowls."


    ...


    This small tavern was out-of-the-way. Those who came here were mostly old customers and were very clear about this Ten Bowls Topple''s alcohol kick.


    It was not that there were no people who drank past ten bowls, but they were in the minority.


    No matter how powerful the Celestial Deity powerhouses, it was also extremely rare to drink past 20 bowls.


    It was just that pity that Ye Yuan let them down.


    "Awesome, cheers again!"


    "I didn''t expect that Ye Yuan is also a man of the same pursuit! Haha, great, awesome!"


    Leng Xu drank faster and faster and always laughed out loud. It was just that when Ye Yuan observed his language and countenance, he could perceive that there was more or less some bitterness in his smiles.


    This person was here to get drunk!


    Ye Yuan was slightly curious on why would such a bright and cheerful young man be like this?


    But the feeling that this Leng Xu gave him was not bad. So he also accompanied Leng Xu and continued drinking cup after cup.


    Not long ago, Ye Yuan''s fleshy body realm already broke through to the fifth transformation golden body.


    Such a powerful body had a very strong immunity towards alcohol in the first place.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was an alchemist. Furthermore, he was an alchemist who was fond of alcohol. No matter how strong the alcohol, it was merely so-so to him as well.


    At least, this Ten Bowls Topple was not enough.


    "65 bowls!"


    "73 bowls!"


    "90 bowls!"


    ...


    At this time, everyone in the small tavern stopped eating and drinking. Their gazes were all focused on Ye Yuan and Leng Xu.


    The way that these two people competing in drinking made them stare dumbfoundedly tongue-tied.


    Finally, when drinking the 103rd bowl, Leng Xu collapsed on the table with a thud.


    "F-Fine alcohol! Brother Ye �� come, come, cheers again!"


    This guy already drank until he was out-cold and still wanted to bottoms up with Ye Yuan.


    At one side, everyone was stunned.


    "Goodness gracious, to actually bring down the god of alcohol! What deity is this young man?"


    "This guy really didn''t mobilize any divine essence, so how did he do it?"


    All around, there was a series of exclamations.


    None of them had ever dared to drink until ten bowls before.


    But today, this unfamiliar face actually downed 103 bowls of Ten Bowls Topple in one go. It was really too exaggerated.


    Actually, a hundred bowls down the belly, Ye Yuan''s head was also a little woozy already.


    This wine was called Ten Bowls topple, it indeed lived up to its reputation.


    While the wine was a fine wine, it was just a pity that it was not the wine that intoxicated, but the drinker who got himself drunk.


    Ye Yuan''s divine essence circulated and directly dispelled that dizzy feeling.


    He turned around and asked the rest, "Do you all know where his home is?"


    The moment everyone heard, they immediately understood, this young man was going to send Leng Xu back home.


    In the crowd, a good person urged, "Heh, young man, your alcohol tolerance is pretty good! But you''d best not get involved in this murky water. The Leng Family isn''t too peaceful recently."


    Ye Yuan was baffled when he heard that and said smilingly, "Just sending him back home, so there''s no harm."


    That person just now said again, "Don''t listen to an elderly person''s advice and you''ll suffer right away! Since you want to find trouble yourself, we naturally won''t stop you either. The Leng Family is the imperial capital''s prominent family. You go out and turn right, after passing three streets, make a left turn, go through an alley, and you''ll reach."


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, settled the bill, and said to Little Tong, "Come on."


    But after Ye Yuan left the tavern, a hint of an imperceptible strange smile flashed across the corners of that person''s mouth.

 Chapter 1842 - Whos The Fool

    The corners of Little Tong��s mouth curled and he said disdainfully, ��You this fellow, really a busybody!��


    In the view of most martial artists, this kind of chance acquaintance relationship was not worth it.


    Either way, playing there to spend the night drunk also would not kill anyone.


    Moreover, that person even warned that the Leng Family was not too calm recently.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Just sending a drunk man home, a small thing.��


    Little Tong rolled his eyes and did not make a sound.


    Clearly, he was very disapproving of this.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, two figures fell from the sky and blocked off Ye Yuan��s front and back exit routes.


    The current Ye Yuan was equivalent to a turtle in a jar.


    Little Tong had a helpless look as he said, ��See, trouble came.��


    However, his face did not have much worry.


    But seeing the arrivals ahead, Ye Yuan��s face turned dark.


    This person was precisely that man who told him about this path in the tavern.


    The other person was also drinking with him.


    That man had a smug look as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Brat, you��ve worked hard to support him over. Now, put the person down. Then you should leave.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��You intentionally led me here? Turns out that the trouble you said was yourself.��


    That man laughed loudly and said, ��I took people��s money to help them avert a disaster. His trouble isn��t me. But if you were to insist on it, that��s fine too. Either way, he��s about to pass on right away.��


    Once martial artists really got drunk, their divine soul was also in a paralyzed state, and was naturally clueless about the outside world��s danger.


    Hence, if one was not really in a bad mood, they normally would not drink until like Leng Xu.


    The current Leng Xu was equivalent to a lamb awaiting slaughter.


    Ye Yuan looked at that man and said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, you saying to let me leave is also to deliberately let me lower my guard, right? You��re very careful when doing things.��


    The moment that man heard, he laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, you��re very clever! But sadly, you��re not suited for the world of martial artists. This world is one where the weak are preys that the strong feasts on. Your kindheartedness won��t have a good outcome! In your next life, remember to be more cold-blooded, hahaha ����


    One should not be a busybody. A person should hold back when talking and doing things. This was general knowledge of the martial artist world.


    But Ye Yuan did not seem to know this common sense at all.


    Or should he say, he knew but was not willing to do it.


    This kind of ��fool�� would naturally die sooner or later.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��You��re so confident like you��ve already cornered me.��


    That man said smugly, ��Otherwise? You don��t think that you, a First Firmament Celestial Deity, can still stir up any waves, right? I urge that you��d better not wake Leng Xu. You won��t have this chance.��


    This man was an initial-stage Third Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse. That man at the back was also a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan being a peak First Firmament Celestial Deity, they did not take him seriously at all.


    ��Fool!�� Little Tong snorted coldly and scolded.


    The moment that man heard, he burst out laughing and said, ��Heard that? Even this little kid is scolding you stupid! If you died, then you died, you even had to harm this little brat to die together with you, truly sorrowful!��


    Little Tong could not resist rolling his eyes, this guy was really dumb to the max, what kind of comprehension ability was this?!


    Ye Yuan placed Leng Xu in a corner and said to Little Tong, ��Look after him for a while. It will be over very soon.��


    ��Oh,�� Little Tong said very casually and did not express much.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned to that man again and said, ��Hey, ask you one more time. Is the Leng Family just after passing through this alley?��


    That man was taken aback and immediately laughed loudly and said, ��For what? You want to send him home even if you become a ghost? Tsk tsk, you, brat, are really loyal to friends, making me not bear to kill you.��


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��Looks like still have to find somebody else to inquire. Also, the fool that Little Tong said just now was referring to the two of you, not me. Mn, I think that before you guys die, you should still understand that.��


    That man was stunned again and had yet to understand what was going on when Ye Yuan��s figure already disappeared.


    That man��s gaze turned intent and he said in horror, ��Spatial law!��


    The scent of death hit him head-on. He opened up world power straight away, planning to use world power to feel Ye Yuan��s position.


    But, it was all futile.


    Puchi ��


    A sword poked out of the void silently, directly swiping his throat. Fresh blood gushed out, his eyes began to turn lax.


    Only at this time did he understand what kind of terrifying opponent he had provoked.


    When the man opposite saw this scene, his face turned deathly pale.


    Without the slightest hesitation, his figure fled into the void, wanting to escape this alley at once.


    It was just too bad that in front of the Fourth Firmament spatial law Ye Yuan, this kind of escape appeared feeble and powerless.


    Puchi!


    Another sword, a peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse fell!


    Inside the heart of the void realm, three years of enlightenment on Dao, Ye Yuan��s realm made tremendous progress in the first place.


    Drifting inside the space for ten years, Ye Yuan��s realm had already reached peak First Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Coupled with Fourth Firmament spatial law and middle-stage Fifth Firmament Sword Dao laws, his strength was god knows how many times stronger than during the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave.


    Initial-stage Third Firmament Celestial Deity, if not an existence with exceedingly high law comprehensions, they posed not the slightest bit of threat towards Ye Yuan.


    Very sadly, this man was not.


    Killing them was similarly a matter of lifting a finger.


    Seeing this scene, Little Tong��s gaze turned sharp.


    ��This boy��s strength improved again! This guy doesn��t know what��s called bottleneck at all!��


    These few years, Little Tong had also witnessed Ye Yuan��s improvement.


    In a short decade, Ye Yuan��s improvement could practically be seen with the naked eye.


    Too fast!


    Even he, this Empyrean powerhouse, also sighed with admiration at Ye Yuan��s talent.


    Ye Yuan helped Leng Xu up again and said helplessly, ��Isn��t this guy the Leng Family��s young patriarch? Why did he end up in this plight? Casually finding a Third Firmament Celestial Deity and he could take his life.��


    Little Tong pursed his lips and said, ��In prominent families, brothers fighting among themselves is all too normal. What��s the big fuss?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��That��s true too, come on.��


    The Leng Family��s address was not hard to inquire, casually inquiring and one would know.


    Actually, the place where that man pointed to was not far from the Leng Family. It was just that there was no need to pass through this alley.


    This alley was the place to kill that they meticulously arranged.


    It was just a pity that their strength was lacking. They were killed instead.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of the Leng Manor��s front door, and just happened to bump into a young man.


    The moment that youth saw Leng Xu, his expression could not help changing drastically.


    He took Leng Xu from Ye Yuan��s hands and berated Ye Yuan, ��Young Brother Xu, why did you drink until like this? Who are you people? What did you do to Younger Brother Xu? Come, men! Capture these two villains for me!��

 Chapter 1843 - Essence Gathering Pagoda

    ��Your brother got drunk, so I sent him back. That��s all.��


    Toward those family guards who surrounded him, Ye Yuan did not care and just explained nonchalantly.


    Who knew that that young man gave a cold laugh and said, ��Heh, you would be so kind? I think that you want to conspire a plot against Young Brother Xu, right? What are you still waiting for? Capture for me! If he dares to resist, capture and summarily execute!��


    When those family guards received the order, they immediately attacked Ye Yuan.


    When attacking, it was very vicious. How was this capturing a person? It was clearly to kill one!


    Ye Yuan��s face turned cold, his figure immediately vanishing.


    Several cold lights flashed past, that young man only saw a pile of hands fly into the air, tragic screams linking up together.


    Within a breath, the family guards all had their hands cut off!


    The young man��s face changed drastically when he saw the situation. He clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there, looking at the young man as he said coolly, ��On the account of Leng Xu��s face, I won��t go on a killing spree today. But I warn you, don��t come and provoke me!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swaggered off.


    The young man��s face changed several times, his gaze finally landing on Leng Xu, and his brows could not help knitting tightly together.


    ��H-Haha, awesome! Brother Ye Yuan, come, let��s cheers again!�� Leng Xu��s eyes were hazy from drunkenness and he suddenly exclaimed.


    ��Ye Yuan? Who was that guy, such formidable strength! Jun Hao, how does his strength compare to yours?��


    A man in black suddenly appeared next to the young man and said with cupped fists, ��This subordinate �� isn��t confident!��


    The young man said in a cold voice, ��Presumably so. Otherwise, you would have made a move just now. Looks like the Black Smoke Twin Fiends failed. I didn��t expect that this good-for-nothing younger brother of mine actually found such an expert, really underestimated him. Originally thought that it was just a First Firmament Celestial Deity. I didn��t think that his strength was actually so formidable, and that even you don��t have the confidence either. Go and check for me. We must dig his details inside out.��


    The young man gave Leng Xu a glance, full of disdain.


    The man in black said, ��Yes!��


    ��


    Leaving the Leng Family, Ye Yuan went to the Essence Gathering Pagoda set up by the City Lord Manor.


    Ye Yuan��s realm already reached peak First Firmament Celestial Deity. He planned to enter a retreat here for a period of time and assault Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s law comprehension already far surpassed his realm. His realm became the greatest factor restricting his strength instead.


    This Essence Gathering Pagoda was a self-service cultivation pagoda, anyone could come in to cultivate.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that you had sufficient divine essence stones.


    Furthermore, it was middle-grade divine essence stones.


    In the imperial capital, low-grade divine essence stones were already unable to satisfy the requirements of martial artists�� cultivation.


    Transactions here were all carried out with middle-grade divine essence stones.


    The Essence Gathering Pagoda was divided into a total of nine levels. The cultivation rooms here were calculated according to days.


    The first level required to pay ten pieces of middle-grade divine essence stones a day, which was also 30 thousand low-grade divine essence stones.


    Further up, the middle-grade divine essence stones that each level required would increase several times over.


    Reaching the ninth level, it needed 3000 pieces of middle-grade divine essence stones a day, which was a rather horrifying number.


    One had to know, 3000 middle-grade divine essence stones were equivalent to 30 million low-grade divine essence stones.


    And this was merely just one day��s cultivation expense.


    Of course, the effect was completely different too.


    Ye Yuan heard that the spiritual energy concentration of the ninth level cultivation room was much stronger than even the Obstructed Tillage Spiritual Eye.


    Naturally, the number of divine essence stones required was also extremely frightening.


    Ye Yuan entered the Essence Gathering Pagoda and went straight up to the third floor.


    There were many cultivation rooms inside the Essence Gathering Pagoda. People entered and left from time to time. The place was very crowded.


    When the third floor��s martial artists saw a First Firmament Celestial Deity come up, each and every one of them gave sidelong glances.


    Logically speaking, First Firmament Celestial Deities normally trained on the first floor.


    Coming to the third floor was purely wasting divine essence stones.


    Because of the concentration of spiritual energy here, First Firmament Celestial Deities were unable to fully absorb it at all.


    The third floor��s cultivation rooms needed to pay 50 middle-grade divine essence stones a day.


    Ye Yuan went one round and finally found an empty cultivation room.


    But he was rather curious why this cultivation room was not in use.


    Ye Yuan did not think that much either, immediately gathering 4500 pieces of middle-grade divine essence stones and placed it into the card slot outside the cultivation room.


    His action drew a series of weird looks.


    A First Firmament Celestial Deity placed 4000 over middle-grade divine essence stones in one go, truly extravagant!


    By the side, someone said with a sneer, ��Heh, this kid is really a sucker!��


    Rumble!


    With a loud noise, the door of the cultivation room slowly opened.


    Ye Yuan was just about to enter inside when a cold voice came from behind: ��Boy, this is my cultivation room, who permitted you to enter?��


    Ye Yuan turned around and saw a young man in fine clothing.


    This young man looked at Ye Yuan, a mocking expression on his face.


    ��Your cultivation room? The cultivation rooms here don��t seem to register names, right?�� Ye Yuan asked with a curious look.


    That young man chuckled and said, ��Aren��t you curious why this place is clearly empty, but no one came over to put divine essence stones?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Now that you said it, it��s really rather strange.��


    The young man said smugly, ��This is my, Han Xiao��s private territory. So, nobody dares to come!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Han Xiao, curled his lips, and said, ��Like that huh, I didn��t know. How about this? Either way, I didn��t go in, so you can just return the divine essence stones to me, then this cultivation room is yours.��


    Han Xiao burst out laughing when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha! You��re asking me for divine essence stones? What a hoot!��


    All around, those martial artists also revealed mocking smiles.


    ��This kid wouldn��t be a fool, right?��


    ��Han Xiao has used this move to scam no idea how many people. Can��t be helped, this guy��s strength is too strong. Within the Third Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, nobody is his match at all.��


    ��This kid, a First Firmament Celestial Deity, actually dares to ask Han Xiao for divine essence stones. I reckon that he��ll suffer.��


    ��


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned dark and he said, ��In that case, you intentionally waited for me to put down divine essence stones before coming over?��


    This Han Xiao, Ye Yuan naturally had an impression.


    In reality, when he just came over, Han Xiao was not far away.


    Han Xiao laughed loudly and said, ��I did it on purpose, so what can you do to me? Now, get further away! Otherwise, you can be prepared to go out lying down!��


    Bang!


    Han Xiao��s voice had yet to fade when his entire person directly flew out backward, slamming heavily onto the wall of the opposite cultivation room, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    This foot of Ye Yuan��s was kicked solidly.


    ��There are really self-righteous idiots everywhere! This time, take it as teaching you a lesson! Not anyone is who you can afford to provoke.��


    Ye Yuan retracted his gaze that was like looking at a moron, turned around, and entered the cultivation room, leaving behind only the crowd who were starting dumbfoundedly with gaping mouths.


    Rumble!


    Following Ye Yuan entering, the door of the cultivation room slowly closed.

 Chapter 1844 - Digging Ones Own Grave

    ��I didn��t expect that Han Xiao actually failed in a simple task.��


    ��


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, it took everyone��s breath away.


    Everyone harbored the mentality of watching the show, thinking that Ye Yuan would suffer a big loss.


    They did not expect that in the end, it was Han Xiao who went out lying down instead.


    This kick was not light. Han Xiao vomited blood non-stop and did not recover for a long while.


    ��Damn brat, to actually dare sneak attack me! Three months later, the shame of this kick, I want you to repay it twofold!�� Han Xiao clutched his chest and said in a cold voice.


    Everyone knew that Han Xiao was genuinely enraged.


    His identity was not ordinary, he was the imperial capital��s Han Family��s descendant.


    The Han Family was a major family clan that ranked in the top three of the imperial capital, their strength extremely formidable.


    ��


    Several days later, the man in black appeared in front of Leng Hao.


    ��Young Master, I��ve already inquired clearly, that brat��s name is called Ye Yuan, just entered the imperial capital. As for where he came from, there��s no way to find out. In short, prior to this, this boy was unknown.��


    Leng Hao was slightly surprised when he heard that and said, ��Shouldn��t be! Such astonishing talent, he definitely came from an imperial capital or even a great imperial capital, how could he be unknown? Could you have made a mistake?��


    The man in black said, ��This subordinate already screened through all the monstrous geniuses who possessed spatial law in great imperial capitals, as well as imperial capitals under Heavenly Emperor Brookfeather��s command. There isn��t Ye Yuan this name. Logically speaking, it shouldn��t be wrong.��


    Great imperial capitals and imperial capitals under a Heavenly Emperor��s command were not as many as imperial cities.


    As long as there was an information channel, screening could still be done.


    But they did not discover Ye Yuan this person.


    Hearing this, Leng Hao also heaved a sigh in relief and said nonchalantly, ��Since that��s the case, then don��t keep this punk anymore. What is he doing now?��


    The man in black clasped his hands and said, ��Replying Young Master, he��s in closed-seclusion inside the Essence Gathering Pagoda. Heard that he paid three months worth of divine essence stones in one go. Furthermore, he even injured the Han Family��s Han Xiao.��


    Leng Hao was taken aback and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Han Xiao? It��s that disappointing fellow who was an adopted son of the Han Family, right? But like this is good too. With that kid��s nature, I reckon that he won��t let Ye Yuan off either. But just in case, better send Iron Eagle to go and finish him off.��


    When the man in black heard that, he said in surprise, ��Young Master, isn��t this �� making a big fuss over a minor issue? Iron Eagle is a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse!��


    Celestial Deity Realm, the difference of each minor realm was tremendous.


    Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity was another level.


    This strength could be the patrolling inspector of imperial cities below already.


    One had to know, the patrolling inspector of the Southridge Ten Nations was merely Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity too.


    Now, wanting to have him go and deal with a First Firmament Celestial Deity, it was putting fine timber to petty use. This was a bit too much.


    Leng Hao waved his hand and said, ��A lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. This boy��s strength isn��t weak, so best be a little safer. You saw it too, Third Firmament Celestial Deity isn��t his match at all.��


    The black-clothed man��s gaze turned slightly sharp and he said with a nod, ��Yes, this subordinate will arrange it right away.��


    ��


    Three months later, inside the cultivation room, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes.


    His current aura was already much stronger than before.


    His divine vortex became much smaller again compared to when he was First Firmament Celestial Deity, but the traces of divine marks became slightly clearer.


    Second Firmament Divine Vestige!


    Although it was just initial-stage Second Firmament Divine Vestige, in terms of divine essence thickness, even ordinary peak Second Firmament Celestial Deities might not be able to match up to Ye Yuan.


    And this was precisely his powerful capital to jump realms and challenge to battle.


    Rumble!


    The door of the cultivation room opened once more, Ye Yuan slowly walked out.


    Suddenly, a cold light flashed past and already arrived in front of Ye Yuan��s face.


    An ambush!


    This strike was grasped perfectly. Clearly, it had already accumulated momentum for a long time and did not give Ye Yuan the slightest reaction time at all.


    However, Ye Yuan mobilized spatial law even faster than the other party!


    Only to see his thoughts stir, the sword light was already drawn into the void by Ye Yuan.


    Following that, his two hands clamped and directly clasped the tip of the sword that followed closely after.


    All of this happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint; quick to the extreme.


    In everyone��s eyes, it had not even started and already ended.


    ��It��s you? Really, Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! I spared your life, but you don��t know how to be grateful and instead went from bad to worse.��


    Ye Yuan��s tone gradually turned cold.


    This person in front of him was none other than precisely Han Xiao.


    He went back and recuperated his injuries for more than a month before fully recovering.


    But in his heart, the more he thought, the more he could not take this lying down. Hence, these few days, he guarded outside the cultivation room, planning to give Ye Yuan a fatal blow.


    He felt that Ye Yuan being able to trample him with a kick was entirely due to his own negligence.


    With his Third Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation, if he suddenly made a sneak attack, it was nigh impossible for Ye Yuan, a First Firmament Celestial Deity, to ward it off!


    It was just a shame that he still miscalculated.


    Han Xiao felt that his sneak attack was very perfect. But even under this kind of circumstances, he still failed.


    He finally knew that that kick of Ye Yuan��s was not some sneak attack.


    The other party��s strength was genuinely powerful!


    He desperately wanted to pull his sword out. Ye Yuan��s fingers were like pincers, unable to budge at all.


    ��B-Brat, what do you want to do? I��m a member of the Han Family. If you dare to touch me, you��ll die very horribly!�� When Han Xiao saw that he was not a match, he could only bring the Han Family out.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Han Family? The Han Family��s people can be so overbearing and can act with utter disregard for human life like this? If you want to kill people, you need to have the readiness to be killed.��


    Han Xiao��s gaze turned intent, directly abandoning the long sword, scampering away at once.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and threw the long sword in his hand out.


    Whoosh!


    It was only to see a cold light flash passed him. Han Xiao��s heart directly had a hole pierced through.


    ��So strong! He broke through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. Can Second Firmament Celestial Deities be so strong?��


    ��The sneak attack just now, even Fourth Firmament Celestial Deities will likely find it hard to ward it off when caught by surprise too right? This guy actually blocked it!��


    ��


    The people outside naturally all knew that Han Xiao was planning to sneak attack. They thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure and harbored the thoughts of watching the show.


    But who knew that the one who died was not Ye Yuan, but Han Xiao!


    However, Ye Yuan actually really dared to kill the Han Family��s people, this guy was really bold!


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan walked out of the Essence Gathering Pagoda and walked over in the direction of the tavern.


    After a few turns, Ye Yuan walked into a remote alley.


    ��Following all the way, does your esteem self still not plan on taking action?�� Suddenly, Ye Yuan stopped and said coolly.


    A gray-robed man slowly walked out of the void, holding a sword while standing.


    This gray-robed man��s eyes were cold, the murderous aura on his body extremely strong. One look and it was clear that he was not a good guy.


    ��Brat, you��re very strong, to actually be able to discover my traces!�� Iron Eagle said icily.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said, ��You came to kill me, don��t you know that I know spatial law? What are you parading your bit of skill in front of me for? If I didn��t guess wrongly, you��re sent here by the Leng Family, right?��


    Iron Eagle��s eyes turned intent and he said, ��You��re very clever. It��s just a pity that you��re going to become a dead man very soon!��

 Chapter 1845 - A Sword Crossing the Void

    Ye Yuan did things based on his heart. It was just that this thing already happened, others naturally would not believe his explanation.


    Killing the Black Smoke Twin Fiends was equivalent to declaring war on Leng Hao.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��They wanted to kill me. I shouldn��t just extend my head over for him to chop, right?��


    Iron Eagle said in a solemn voice, ��No need to explain anymore. No matter what you think, you have to die today!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he laughed.


    ��Is a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity very impressive? Want to kill me, you can give it a try,�� Ye Yuan said very calmly.


    ��Fool who doesn��t know what you��re talking about. Now, I��ll let you take a look at the disparity between initial-stage Celestial Deity Realm and middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm.��


    Iron Eagle��s gaze turned dark, Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity��s world power gushed out frenziedly, enveloping the entire alley inside.


    Although the intel was wrong; Ye Yuan already broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity, to him, Iron Eagle, it was the same.


    The result was all death!


    Iron Eagle took out a Thundergod Hammer, akin to a god descending to earth, directly swiping it at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was just about to make a move when his gaze suddenly turned intent, and he stopped.


    When Iron Eagle saw the situation, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of his mouth. He thought that Ye Yuan saw his might and directly gave up resisting.


    But right at this time, a figure suddenly showed up, blocking between the two people.


    Rumble!


    With a loud noise, Iron Eagle��s figure flying out backward.


    ��Y-Young Master Xu!�� Iron Eagle��s face changed, not expecting to actually run into Leng Xu.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Leng Xu��s mouth and he said, ��My good big brother really can��t wait! Being brothers, it really chills my heart!��


    Iron Eagle��s expression was very ugly. Clearly, his conversation with Ye Yuan just now, Leng Xu heard all of it.


    ��Y-Young Master Xu, you��re mistaken ����


    Leng Xu flicked his sleeves grandly and said with a cold snort, ��Enough! At this point, are you still going to explain yourself? Could it be that in your eyes, I��m an utter moron? Go back and tell your master, Ye Yuan is my friend. If he dares to touch a hair of his, I��ll never rest until he��s dead!��


    Iron Eagle let out a sigh and was about to turn around and leave.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, ��Don��t need to bring these words back anymore, you can stay behind!��


    Iron Eagle was taken aback when he heard that and could not help laughing as he said, ��Just the likes of you want to keep me behind too?��


    Leng Xu also said, ��Ye Yuan, very sorry, I don��t have the strength to make him stay! But you rest assured. This matter, I��ll definitely claim it back for you!��


    Iron Eagle chuckled and said, ��Young Master Xu��s words are said a little too conceitedly, right?��


    Since they already lost all decorum, Iron Eagle was no longer apprehensive anymore too.


    Either way, Leng Xu and Leng Hao were already like fire and water, this was something that everyone knew.


    It was just that in the past, everyone competed in the dark. But now, it became an assassination.


    Leng Xu��s expression could not help changing when he heard that and actually did not say anything to refute.


    Clearly, Leng Xu��s situation in the Leng Family was not too good.


    ��Ye Yuan, s-sorry, I��m useless!�� Leng Xu said in shame.


    Iron Eagle chuckled and said, ��Kid, consider yourself lucky today. But next time, you won��t be so lucky.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need for next time, I��ll give you this chance right now.��


    ��Ye Yuan ����


    Leng Xu was just about to persuade him further, but then he heard Ye Yuan saying, ��Brother Leng, you wait a moment. We��ll go and drink a hundred bowls again in a while!��


    Iron Eagle could not help laughing loudly when he heard that and said, ��Ignorant fool, since you��re taking the road to ruin yourself, then I��ll send you off.��


    Finished talking, Iron Eagle��s aura released again, world power crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    On Ye Yuan��s body, blue fine lines spread out. A strange force isolated Iron Eagle��s world power.


    ��Wrath of the Thundergod!��


    Iron Eagle��s Thundergod Hammer was raised high up. In the entire world domain, it was all berserk lightning and thunder, the momentum extremely shocking.


    This lightning domain was akin to the furious roar of heaven and earth, making people��s faces change.


    Ye Yuan stood inside but was like it had nothing to do with him.


    He looked at Iron Eagle. He raised up his Frostcounter Sword slowly and said coolly, ��Strength is decent. You indeed didn��t disappoint me! I recently comprehended a style of sword art. It��s just nice to test the sword on you.��


    Iron Eagle laughed wildly to no end when he heard that and said, ��Arrogant and ignorant young man, using me to test the sword is at the cost of your life! Go to hell!��


    Iron Eagle waved the Thundergod Hammer, landing it towards Ye Yuan��s head.


    For a moment, the lightning in the entire space gathered over towards Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this scene, Leng Xu��s expression suddenly changed and he cried out in shock, ��Careful!��


    He was just about to make a move to help Ye Yuan, but heard Ye Yuan��s voice drift over: ��Calm down, I��m fine.��


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved as well!


    ��A Sword Crossing the Void!��


    Leng Xu saw a blur before his eyes, Ye Yuan��s figure already vanished.


    When he appeared again, he was already behind Iron Eagle.


    Leng Xu��s expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed, ��This �� spatial shift! Laws fusion!��


    How could Leng Xu not perceive that this sword of Ye Yuan��s fused spatial law and Sword Dao law? The commotion was not noticeable, but the power was extremely shocking.


    That boundless lightning dissipated into nothing very quickly.


    ��This �� How is this possible?��


    Iron Eagle��s eyes were full of incredulity.


    Then his body started collapsing.


    Finally, it turned into nothingness.


    Before dying, he seemed to have seen infinite fear.


    This sword of Ye Yuan��s virtually annihilated the void, smashing his body into pieces.


    After three years of enlightenment, Ye Yuan did not only comprehend the fourth firmament spatial law, but he also further fused the laws, creating ��A Sword Crossing the Void.��


    This sword art could be said to have gathered the grand achievements of Ye Yuan��s Martial Dao, unleashing the power of laws to the extreme.


    Its power was unimaginable.


    The moment this move was released, not only was it swift to the extreme, it could even instantly cut the void into countless pieces!


    Leng Xu looked at that figure in the distance, shocked until he could not close his mouth.


    Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity was practically an insurmountable high mountain to Third Firmament Celestial Deities.


    But Ye Yuan just broke through to Second Firmament Celestial Deity and could actually directly kill a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    This kind of strength was simply dreadful to the ears.


    Especially that sword just now, it really took his breath away.


    Although Leng Xu��s strength was stronger than Iron Eagle��s, this move, he touched his own heart and felt that he could not receive it!


    Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there. Coming before Leng Xu, he said with a smile, ��Brother Leng, come. Let��s drink.��


    Leng Xu was taken back and immediately laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, okay! Today, I definitely won��t lose to you!��


    Ye Yuan also laughed and said, ��Just your bit of alcohol tolerance, it��s really not enough to fill the crevices between my teeth!��


    The two laughed loudly and walked in the direction of the tavern.

 Chapter 1846 - Contesting for Young Patriarch

    After Leng Xu woke up that day, he did not remember what happened in the alley at all.


    But competing in drinking with Ye Yuan that day, it was still fresh in his memory.


    For so long, it was still his first time encountering a guy who could bring him down.


    Hence, he kept thinking about it and was going to find Ye Yuan again to compete in drinking.


    Today, Leng Xu just happened to pass by, that was how he heard Iron Eagle��s words.


    It was also precisely because of this that Leng Xu was even more moved in his heart.


    Showing kindness without expecting repayment,  Ye Yuan this friend, he was bent on making it!


    If it were others,    saving the Leng Family��s young patriarch,   they would definitely think of ways to suck up to him. At the very least,  they had to fish some benefits from the Leng Family too, but Ye Yuan did not.


    From this, one could see Ye Yuan��s noble moral character.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said,  ��That day I sent you back to the Leng Manor, Leng Hao wanted to take me down indiscriminately. I wasn��t willing to intervene in your Leng Manor��s disputes and also just happened to reach the point of breakthrough. So I simply chose to enter closed-seclusion. It��s just that I didn��t expect that Leng Hao still wasn��t willing to let me off.��


    Leng Xu smiled bitterly and said,  ��Leng Hao definitely thought that you were a helper that I invited. That��s why he would deal a fatal blow to you. In fact, it was all me who implicated you.��


    Ye Yuan raised his glass and downed a bowl,   saying with a smile,   ��I don��t like trouble,  but I am not afraid of trouble too. However, what on earth is going on with your Leng Family?��


    Leng Xu immediately downed a bowl himself when he heard that and said with a sigh,   ��Sigh,   brothers fighting among ourselves,  it already caused a huge scandal in the whole city. Truly disgraceful! Actually, I��m not inclined toward the position of the young patriarch at all. But to no avail, this big brother of mine is very persistent!��


    It turned out that that day Leng Xu competing in drinking with Ye Yuan, he had a big quarrel with Leng Hao and was in a bad mood. That was why he came to the tavern to get drunk.


    Leng Xu and Leng Hao, the two brothers were very close since young. Since young, Leng Hao also took extra care of Leng Xu.


    These two people��s talents were both very strong, both leaders of the Leng Family��s young generation.


    Except, there was one thing, Leng Hao was an adopted child. His status in the Leng Family was far from Leng Xu��s.


    Leng Xu was the son of the family head, furthermore, his talent was outstanding. His status in the Leng Family was extremely high.


    Brothers being kind and loving to each other was originally something that everyone envied.


    But sadly, a few years ago, the Leng Family��s family head, Leng Hongtian, was suddenly killed. The elders elected Leng Hongtian��s young brother, Leng Hongxiu, as the family head.


    Leng Hongxiu had no sons, just a daughter.


    This way, Leng Xu��s identity became awkward.


    Leng Xu��s disposition was indifferent, his character unrestrained and carefree. He did not care about the identity of young patriarch at all.


    But Leng Hao this person gradually changed.


    Leng Hao became very calculating, roping in elders in the family clan, marginalizing Leng Xu.


    But on the surface, the two people did not lose all decorum and were still a pair of close brothers.


    Except, even though Leng Xu��s character was free and easy, he was not stupid.


    Three months ago, Leng Hao found an excuse and exiled a very close uncle of Leng Xu out of the main family.


    Leng Xu finally could not hold back. He got into a big fight with Leng Hao.


    He also did not expect that Leng Hao would actually send people to assassinate him.


    Although the Black Smoke Twin Fiends�� strengths were not strong, they were very clear about the ways of the Jianghu.


    On that day, seeing Ye Yuan and Leng Xu compete in drinking, they knew that their chance had come.


    Except, they did not think that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    ��Sigh, actually, I really don��t care about this position of young patriarch! I told Leng Hao before, I��d rather not be this young patriarch then be willing to have brothers turn against each other, but he doesn��t believe it at all! He doesn��t believe it at all! Hahaha ����


    Leng Xu raised his head and drank a large bowl of wine, crystalline tears already welled up in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan also sighed unceasingly after he heard it.


    Once a person was reduced to a slave to authority, their entire person would undergo earth-shaking changes.


    He could feel that Leng Xu really did not care about the position of young patriarch.


    But Leng Hao did not believe it at all!


    He felt that Leng Xu was deliberately making him lower his guard.


    Ye Yuan raised his glass and said, ��Good times today, stupor tomorrow! Forget all these unpleasant things! Come, cheers!��


    Leng Xu laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, cheers! Today, I won��t lose to you easily!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Competing in drinking with me, you��re not qualified enough yet!��


    While talking and laughing, the two drank another hundred over glasses.


    Finally, Leng Xu was overwhelmed by the alcohol and collapsed once more.


    ��


    Leng Family, the black-clothed man came to Leng Hao��s courtyard hastily.


    ��Young Master, things are bad! Iron Eagle, he��s �� dead!��


    Leng Hao��s face suddenly changed and he exclaimed, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    The black-clothed man was still in shock until now as he said in a solemn voice, ��It��s absolutely true! After Ye Yuan came out of seclusion, he directly killed Han Xiao at the Essence Gathering Pagoda. Then he was about to go to Guiling Tavern when someone saw Ye Yuan kill Iron Eagle with one sword move! Furthermore �� Leng Xu was also around!��


    ��One sword move? Killing Iron Eagle, he only used one sword move?�� Leng Hao said with a look of disbelief.


    A First Firmament Celestial Deity killed a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity with one sword move, how was this possible?


    The black-clothed man smiled bitterly and said, ��Ye Yuan already broke through to become a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. Originally, this subordinate didn��t believe it either, but �� this is the fact. Furthermore ����


    Leng Hao��s face turned dark and he said, ��Spit out what you have to say, beat around the bush for what?��


    The black-clothed man��s expression turned somber as he said, ��Leng Xu and Ye Yuan drank too much at Guiling Tavern again. Now, Ye Yuan sent Leng Xu back again!��


    Leng Hao��s expression was incomparably ugly, not expecting that it would actually be this result.


    A Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse was already the limit that he could mobilize.


    Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses had very high statuses in the family, they were not what he could mobilize currently.


    Of course, if he could become the young patriarch, it would be another matter.


    Leng Hao paced back and forth, seemingly digesting this news.


    Suddenly, his footsteps paused and he said, ��Just now, you said that he killed Han Xiao?��


    The black-clothed man nodded his head and said, ��When Ye Yuan just came out, Han Xiao��s sneak attack failed, and he was killed by Ye Yuan with one sword move!��


    One sword move!


    One sword move again!


    Leng Hao��s expression was not too good, this Ye Yuan was too troublesome.


    Leng Hao said in a solemn voice, ��Don��t need to care about this Ye Yuan anymore! Han Dongjun that old thing treasures this son of his the most. He definitely won��t be willing to drop the matter! Rather, it��s Leng Xu. Looks like our plan have to start getting into gear! The position of young patriarch can��t be delayed anymore! Is there any news from the Qianling Manor that side?��


    The black-clothed man said, ��Eldest Miss already left seclusion. It��s said that she already broke through to the middle-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!��


    Leng Hao sighed with admiration as he said, ��Qiuling is really a genius. Her talent really makes people blush with shame! It��s just a shame that she��s a girl! Alright, this matter, you don��t need to care anymore. I��ll go and find the family head straight away. The struggle for young patriarch should also have a result already!��

 Chapter 1847 - This Battle, You Must Go

    One had to say, this Leng Hao was a fierce and ambitious person too.


    Many years ago, before Leng Hongxiu became family head, Leng Hao already acknowledged the other party as foster father and ingratiated himself with him in all manners.


    One could say that he was a character who was capable of dealing with people.


    Although he was a bastard child, his status in the family was still quite high.


    Being brothers with the young patriarch, foster father and son with the second master, all these were not what just anybody could achieve.


    Of course, Leng Hao doing so was actually just to make his life a little better, his future a little brighter.


    He did it.


    Except,   even he himself also did not expect that Leng Hongxiu would actually become the family head one day,   and his close brother,  Leng Xu, actually became the Leng Family��s marginalized figure.


    This made his thoughts stir.


    In terms of talent, he was inferior to Leng Xu. But Leng Hao always felt that he was only like this because he was inferior to Leng Xu in terms of resources.


    One had to know how much he paid for the sake of today!


    As long as he could become the young patriarch,   when he grasped power in his hands,  his cultivation speed would definitely go up, and his position would also be more stable.


    Perhaps one day, he could take charge of the Leng Family!


    One had to admit, Leng Hao��s schemes were very elaborate.


    When Leng Hongxiu saw this gorgeous Dazzling Crane Plumage Garment, his eyes could not help lighting up.


    This garment worn on his daughter,  Leng Qiuling, would definitely be as beautiful as a fairy.


    The Leng Family��s most talented descendant was not Leng Xu, let alone Leng Hao, but the Leng Qiuling who was known as an iceberg-beauty.


    Several hundred years ago, Leng Qiuling gained enlightenment on Dao on the Heavenspan Mountain at the age of 500 and stepped into the realm of Celestial Deity.


    And now,  several hundred years passed again, Leng Qiuling already broke through to the Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!


    Such talent,  placed in the entire imperial capital, it was an extremely dazzling existence.


    In contrast, Leng Xu paled much more in comparison.


    What Leng Hongxiu valued the most was also this daughter.


    What did it matter if he had no sons?


    With this daughter, it was enough!


    For Leng Qiuling to be able to become the family head, it naturally had great connection to Leng Qiuling.


    Among peers, Leng Hongxiu was not without competitors. But the elders council let him take over the family head with unanimous agreement.


    In reality, Leng Qiuling was not just his, Leng Hongxiu��s pride, she was also the Leng Family��s pride.


    The reason why Leng Hao put so much effort on Leng Hongxiu was naturally because of Leng Qiuling too.


    ��Not bad, very good! Huhu, Hao-er, you��re very thoughtful!�� Leng Hongxiu nodded his head in satisfaction.


    To martial artists, beauty was naturally secondary. The most important thing was that this Dazzling Crane Plumage Garment was a celestial deity mystic treasure, its defensive power extremely strong.


    But beauty and tangible benefits being paid equal attention to, who would refuse?


    Leng Hao smiled and said, ��This is what this child should do! These few years, Foster Father has taken good care of me, Young Sister Qiuling and I are closer than actual brothers and sisters. What does this little thing count for?��


    Leng Hongxiu gave Leng Hao a glance and said smilingly, ��Hao-er, I��ve discussed with the elders council a few days ago. They feel that Xu-er continuing to hold the position of young patriarch now is indeed rather awkward. Of course, you also have to bring out the corresponding strength. Ten days later, you and Xu-er will have a competition. The victor will become the new young patriarch! I have no biological son, but you��re my son!��


    When Leng Hao heard this, he prostrated on the ground, tears on his face as he said, ��Foster Father, this child �� this child, really don��t know what to say.��


    Leng Hongxiu helped him up and said smilingly, ��It��s been so many years, does Father still not know your character? You��re different from the rest. Back then, I haven��t risen to power yet. Qiuling��s talent also hasn��t been revealed yet, and you got quite close to our family.��


    Leng Hao��s face was extremely moved, but in his heart, he was filled with ecstasy.


    So many years of investment, it was finally time for the returns. How could he not be agitated?


    Leng Hao was different from the rest. When others were hugging the family head��s thigh, he did not go.


    Because he did not have that qualification.


    Hence, he deliberately approached Leng Xu and Leng Qiuling.


    When Leng Qiuling was very young, he saw that terrifying cultivation talent of Leng Qiuling��s one time. At that time, he decided to invest in her.


    Along with Leng Hao��s standing rising, his ambition also grew greater and greater.


    Leng Hongxiu said, ��I know that your strength is stronger than Xu-er��s. But this competition is of utmost importance. Sharpening the spear just before going into battle, even if it��s not sharp, it will also be bright. These ten days, you cultivate well, don��t be distracted by other things.��


    Leng Hao bid farewell and left. A beautiful figure stepped out of the void.


    ��Father!��


    Leng Hongxiu looked at his daughter with a doting look and said with a smile, ��You and Hao-er played since young. Why is now that you��re not even willing to meet him now?��


    Leng Qiuling frowned slightly and said, ��Big Brother Leng Hao he �� changed!��


    Leng Hongxiu said, ��People will always change. Come, try put on this Dazzling Crane Plumage Garment. This kid is thoughtful too.��


    Leng Qiuling instinctively resisted a little, but seeing that Father was very enthusiastic, she finally still put it on.


    ��


    In Leng Xu��s courtyard, Leng Xu was drowning his sorrows in wine again.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There are still ten days, then it��s the battle to determine the young patriarch. But you��re being dispirited here. Is it really okay?��


    Leng Xu directly raised the jar and said to Ye Yuan, ��Drink! This kind of lousy thing, care about it for what?��


    Ye Yuan pressed down his wine jaw and shook his head and said, ��Treat you as a brother, I��ll say a few words from the bottom of my heart. If you won��t listen, just take it as I didn��t say anything.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s solemness, Leng Xu could not help being surprised.


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been drinking with him to relieve boredom all along, and never said a word.


    Today, no idea why, he would actually be so serious.


    Leng Xu already regarded Ye Yuan as his only brother now, and naturally attached great importance to his attitude.


    He nodded his head, put down the wine jar, and said, ��You say.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This battle, you must go! Furthermore, you must win!��


    Leng Xu��s brows furrowed and he said, ��What for? Brother Ye, I ����


    Ye Yuan interrupted him, saying, ��I know that you��re not inclined towards the position of young patriarch. But it��s precisely because of this that you have to go even more! You can disregard this empty reputation. But if you even lose your heart of martial arts, you��ll be a walking corpse in the future! This kind of person, who will think much of you? I��m willing to drink with you because I feel that your character is unrestrained and carefree, and not because you��re a good-for-nothing! Moreover, your father made you the young patriarch. Do you want to tell everybody that the former family head appointed a good-for-nothing?��


    Ye Yuan��s words were akin to a series of thunderbolts, which sounded out in Leng Xu��s heart.


    Ye Yuan continued and said, ��Your father was killed; your brother betrayed you. You indeed have sufficient reason to be decadent. But you ask yourself, are you resigned to it? Your father��s grudge, are you not avenging anymore? Also, Leng Hao, he already wants to send you to your doom. Once he holds power, do you feel that he��ll allow you to live? Therefore, this battle, you have to win! Even if after you win, you tell everyone that you feel it is beneath your dignity to be their young patriarch!��


    Leng Xu��s gaze gradually changed.


    From hazy, it became resolute.


    Indeed, he had far too many things to do!


    Lifting his head, Leng Xu downed the jar of wine and said, ��Brother Ye, thank you!��

 Chapter 1848 - What the Hell Happened?

    The battle to determine the young patriarch was about to come to an end immediately, the black-clothed man observed his speech and countenance, and already quietly changed his term of address.


    Sure enough, the moment Leng Hao heard, his mood immediately became much better.


    ��Mn? What��s going on?��


    The black-clothed man said,  ��A few days ago,  Leng Xu was still spending his days dispiritedly and indulging in excessive drinking every day. Since yesterday,  someone saw him practicing the sword in the courtyard, seemingly very hardworking.��


    The moment Leng Hao heard, he laughed disdainfully and said, ��What is ten days of effort enough to do? No matter how he trains, he��s also not my match! You came to interrupt my cultivation for this matter?��


    The black-clothed man was startled inwardly and said, ��Young Master��s many years of hard work has already reached the most critical juncture. You mustn��t be careless!��


    Leng Hao��s brows furrowed. He thought about it and said,   ��Forget it,  your reminder makes sense. There��s a bottle of Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder here, enough to make the person��s divine essence not circulate smoothly. You find an opportunity and let my good younger brother consume it. This battle, I want to beat him openly and uprightly!��


    As he said, Leng Hao fished out a small bottle and passed it to the black-clothed man.


    The Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder was colorless and tasteless. Even if one drank it, it would not be discovered either.


    Only during the competition would flaws be revealed.


    The black-clothed man smiled when he heard that and said, ��Many years of long-cherished wish finally becoming real. This lowly one congratulates young patriarch in advance here!��


    ��


    The ten-day period passed in a twinkle. On this day, many people gathered on the Leng Family��s practicing field.


    The Leng Family��s disciples,   family guards,  even servants, all came to watch this battle of young patriarch.


    ��Heh,  the superficiality of human relationships, the old family head passed away unexpectedly. Now, Leng Xu can��t even keep the position of young patriarch.��


    ��This battle is also just a formality. Leng Xu��s strength is not as good as Leng Hao��s to begin with.��


    ��If Leng Xu is sensible, he should have directly given up today.��


    ��


    The fickleness of human nature was nothing more than this.


    The old family head had already died for many years. Now, Leng Hao was akin to the noon-day sun. Everyone all knew that he was about to become the young patriarch. There naturally would not be anyone who would go and fawn on Leng Xu anymore.


    In a large family clan like the Leng Family, human relationships were even colder.


    Perhaps because he was about to become the young patriarch, Leng Hao seemed very enthusiastic. He had long arrived at the ring.


    For this kind of important event, Leng Hongxiu as well as the Leng Family��s elders also all showed up one after another. Only Leng Xu failed to show up.


    An elder was somewhat impatient from waiting and said with a cold snort, ��Humph! This Leng Xu is also too outrageous, making so many of us elders wait for him alone! I think that he, this young patriarch, really don��t have a need to continue to be one anymore.��


    ��Leng Xu is too undisciplined and carefree. He��s normally not very respectful to elders. Speaking of which, Leng Hao this child is really not bad.��


    The other few elders also seemed rather impatient and echoed in agreement.


    When Leng Hao heard these elders�� discussion, he was pleased with himself inwardly.


    These elders, he normally waited upon them nice and cozily. How was it condescending like Leng Xu, not paying any attention to the elders at all?


    Hence, Leng Xu��s position of young patriarch also sent him onto the road to ruin.


    Leng Hao smiled when he heard that and said, ��This battle is very important. Young Brother Xu preparing longer is understandable. Hope that elders can be patient and wait a while longer.��


    Leng Hao��s words immediately made the elders feel content.


    Even Leng Hongxiu also could not nitpick any problem, secretly nodding his head.


    Except, that celestial maiden-looking woman next to him furrowed her brows, appearing somewhat uncomfortable.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, automatically opening up a path.


    A handsome young man leaped lighting, jumping onto the ring.


    He looked at Leng Hao and said with a faint smile, ��It��s still Big Brother Hao who understands me. Such an important battle, how can I not prepare properly?��


    The current Leng Xu, the decadence on his face was swept clean, his spirits soaring, like he gained a new lease on life.


    When Leng Hao saw that faint smile of Leng Xu��s, he could not help being surprised in his heart.


    In the past, what he saw in Leng Xu��s eyes was pain and decadence. But the Leng Xu today seemed to be different from in the past.


    What the hell happened in these ten days?


    Suddenly, his face changed and he said, ��You actually broke through!��


    Leng Xu nodded as he smiled and said, ��Today��s opponent is Big Brother Leng Hao. So how can I not work harder?��


    Seeing the surprise on Leng Hao��s face, a hint of delight flashed across in Leng Xu��s heart.


    Today, he wanted everyone to know that he, Leng Xu, was the Leng Family��s number one genius!


    This young patriarch, I don��t want it!


    Of course, him being able to break through was naturally all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    His realm was just initial-stage Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity. Originally, it was naturally impossible to break through so quickly. It was Ye Yuan��s void spirit divine pill that let him break through to middle-stage in a short ten days.


    Leng Hao��s realm was late-stage Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity. This way, the gap between the two immediately narrowed significantly.


    Although Leng Hao��s talent was pretty good, Leng Xu��s was clearly a notch higher. His law comprehension was stronger than Leng Hao��s!


    Leng Hao��s expression was somewhat awkward as he smiled and said, ��Haha, very good! However, my realm is still higher than yours, there��s absolutely no way that I lose to you!��


    Leng Xu looked at Leng Hao and said with a calm smile, ��Is that so? Big Brother Leng Hao, you��ve always been the big brother in my heart. You��re my goal to catch-up and surpass! And today, I��m going to catch-up from behind!��


    He was not joking. Leng Hao��s strength indeed looked down on everyone among the Leng Family��s junior generation.


    Otherwise, with his illegitimate identity, it was also impossible to be recognized as the young patriarch.


    Leng Hao had always been an irreplaceable elder brother in Leng Xu��s heart. Hence, that was why he would be so decadent being edged out by Leng Hao.


    A stalwart image crumbling in one��s heart, this blow was tremendous.


    But under Ye Yuan��s help, he finally still got up.


    Seeing that confident gaze of Leng Xu��s, Leng Hao sneered incessantly in his heart.


    Leng Xu already drank the Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder, even if his realm broke through again, it was also useless!


    This battle, it could only be him who won!


    Leng Hongxiu smiled and said, ��Since Xu-er has also come, then this battle for young patriarch begins.��


    With the battle starting, sword energy immediately crisscrossed on the stage.


    The two people were experts in the sword, law comprehensions were also both comprehended to rank five. The cultivation method that they cultivated was also pretty much the same.


    However, the late-stage Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Leng Hao actually could not gain any advantage over Leng Xu!


    The more Leng Hao fought, the more alarmed he got. Leng Xu��s power of law also improved!


    What the hell happened in these ten days?


    Why did Leng Xu become like a different person from before?


    Furthermore �� why didn��t the Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder show effect until now?


    Leng Hao was practically going crazy in his heart!


    ��Big Brother Leng Hao, being absent-minded, you��ll lose!�� Leng Xu said with a smile.


    Leng Hao was startled inwardly, the force from his hands increasing a bit more.


    But he was very puzzled. Why didn��t the Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder show effect until now?


    ��Is Big Brother Leng Hao waiting for the Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder to take effect? Don��t need to wait. I indeed drank the Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder, but �� the poison has already been detoxified!��


    Right at this time, Leng Xu suddenly opened his mouth again.


    Leng Hao was wildly shaken in his heart. The Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder��s poison was resolved!


    How was this possible?

 Chapter 1849 - Spectacular Blunder

    ��No way, I absolutely can��t lose!��


    A voice shouted in Leng Hao��s heart.


    He prepared for so many years, living like a dog.


    Now that he had a chance to turn things around, how could he lose?


    ��Xi Yu Hao Ling Sword!��


    Leng Hao shouted. A sword emerging, the four directions trembled, the entire ring teemed with his sword intent.


    ��So strong! Indeed worthy of being Leng Hao, to actually cultivate my Leng Family��s strongest sword style, Xi Yu Hao Ling Sword, to such a level!��


    ��Leng Hao used his trump card. Looks like the outcome is a foregone conclusion!��


    Below the stage, someone immediately cried out in surprise.


    Leng Hao��s momentum was shocking. His sword lights virtually enveloped Leng Xu completely.


    However, amidst the sword rain, Leng Xu said coolly, ��Xi Yu Hao Ling Sword, is it? Big Brother Leng Hao, with ten days of practicing the sword, I finally had some understanding. Let us decide the victor with the Xi Yu Hao Ling Sword!��


    Finished saying, Leng Xu swung his long sword. Ten thousand streams of sword intent condensed frenziedly, and actually faintly suppressed Leng Hao.


    Leng Hao��s expression suddenly changed and said, ��Impossible! Middle-stage rank five Sword Dao law! You never grasped it after so many years of comprehension, so how can you possibly suddenly comprehend it?!��


    He suddenly discovered that these ten days, the changes that happened to Leng Xu were too many.


    Not only did he break through his realm, he even broke through Sword Dao laws.


    Could this be a coincidence?


    This coincidence was also a bit too many, right?!


    However, there was already no time for Leng Hao to consider.


    Only to see two powerful Sword Dao laws collide together fiercely.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    On the stage, incomparably dazzling light bloomed, countless powerful sword lights bombarded together.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Suddenly, Leng Hao spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, body flying out backward, falling heavily on top of the stage.


    He desperately wanted to crawl up, but a sword was already pressed on his throat. Another inch further and he would kick the bucket.


    ��Big Brother Leng Hao, you lost!��


    Leng Xu��s nonchalant words made Leng Hao shudder.


    Death-like silence!


    The battle that was originally just going through the motions actually had a shocking reversal.


    The Leng Xu that no one was optimistic about actually won!


    Which was also to say that Leng Xu was still the young patriarch?


    For some time, quite a few people��s hearts started racing.


    These days, quite a number among them kicked him while he was down, and did not show Leng Xu any good attitude.


    If Leng Xu continued to be the young patriarch, wouldn��t he find them to settle the scores afterward?


    These people had their own little schemes. Actually, no one really cared about them.


    Right now, the most awkward one was Leng Hongxiu and the elders.


    They arranged this duel in order to let Leng Hao ascend to the position of young patriarch right and properly. Who knew that Leng Hao actually lost.


    Of course, this could not be blamed on Leng Hao.


    Leng Xu��s improvement, everyone saw it.


    Ten days�� time, Leng Xu could be said to have been reborn anew!


    But, this conclusion, how should the matter be wound up?


    No one spoke. An atmosphere called awkwardness spread through the crowd.


    Leng Hao��s face was deathly pale, his heart like dead ashes.


    Many years of hard work wiped out in a day, that kind of unwillingness was virtually going to burst through the sky.


    ��Hahaha, what a joke! Your Leng Family really made a spectacular blunder! Hahaha ����


    Right at this time, a taunting voice sounded out.


    A group of powerhouses rushed straight into the Leng Family��s manor.


    Leng Hongxiu��s face turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Han Dongjun, you dare to barge into my Leng Manor without permission, are you tired of living?��


    But Han Dongjun��s face fell and he said, ��Leng Hongxiu, my son was killed, but your Leng Family is harboring the murderer, why can��t I barge inside?��


    Leng Hongxiu said in a cold voice, ��Nonsense, why would our Leng Family harbor your son��s murderer?��


    Han Dongjun chuckled and said, ��This, will have to ask your new, oh, nope, old young patriarch!��


    Leng Hongxiu��s brows furrowed and his gaze involuntarily looked towards Leng Xu.


    Leng Hao originally already lost all hope. But Han Dongjun��s appearance made him ignite the last trace of hope!


    ��Leng Xu, you covered up sinister motives and actually colluded with outsiders to make our Leng Family lose face! My Young Brother Xu, I know that you��re not happy with big brother, but this is our Leng Family��s affairs after all. You doing this really disappoints people too much!�� Leng Hao got up and said righteously.


    Leng Xu also did not expect that Han Dongjun actually directly brought people to barge into the Leng Family.


    ��Xu-er, shouldn��t you give us an explanation?�� Leng Hongxiu��s tone also gradually turned cold.


    As the saying went, don��t wash dirty linen in public.


    No matter how troubled it was in the family, one also should not lose face until it went outside.


    Even though the Leng Family��s internal strife was already not some secret.


    But Han Dongjun came too coincidentally; just nice the crucial part of selecting the young patriarch. This had to make people��s minds fall into a reverie.


    Leng Xu was silent for a moment and said coolly, ��Han Xiao was killed by me. If you want the person, take me away.��


    But when Han Dongjun heard it, he burst out laughing. But very soon, his expression turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Punk, you can��t escape responsibility either! But, the person who killed my son, I��ve long investigated it clearly. It��s a brat called Ye Yuan!��


    Hearing this name, that ten thousand years ice-like face of Leng Qiuling��s finally had a trace of change.


    Leng Hongxiu was slightly surprised and asked, ��You know him?��


    Leng Qiuling recovered her calm very quickly and shook her head and said, ��Shouldn��t be the same person.��


    On Heavenspan Mountain, the shock that that person brought to her was too intense. Such that until now, that person��s figure was still revolving around in her mind, unable to wave away for a long time.


    Except, it was impossible that the Ye Yuan out of Han Dongjun��s mouth was that the Ye Yuan she knew.


    With Ye Yuan��s cultivation speed, it was also impossible to reach Celestial Deity Realm now, even if his performance on the Heavenspan Mountain was extremely breathtaking.


    Pray tell, a martial artist who used more than 500 years before barely managing to cultivate to the Divine Lord Realm, how could he possibly break through to Celestial Deity Realm in a short four to five hundred years?


    One had to know, the breakthrough to the Celestial Deity Realm was more than a hundred times harder than the Divine Lord Realm!


    Leng Xu��s expression was very ugly. He knew that Ye Yuan was right under the stage, he wanted to let Ye Yuan slip away quickly by taking advantage of the crowd.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of leaving at all.


    Swoosh!


    Just as Leng Xu was in a daze, Leng Hao suddenly launched a sneak attack, suddenly smacking a palm toward Leng Xu.


    ��Leng Family��s traitor! Why haven��t you hand over the person yet? Kneel down for me!��


    This palm was too sudden, Leng Xu did not react at all. When he wanted to defend, it was already too late.


    But right at this time, a figure appeared out of thin air, charging out from the side.


    Bang!


    An incomparably heavy palm force directly smacked Leng Hao flying.


    ��For your own selfish interests, not scrupling to kill your younger brother. Outsiders came to invade and you didn��t stint to sell out your brother, letting outsiders see a joke. A person like you is also fit to be the young patriarch? The Leng Family is really a joke!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were full of cynicism.


    Seeing that slightly thin figure on the stage, Leng Qiuling��s gaze was full of shock.

 Chapter 1850 - Take This Boy Down for Me!

    Chapter 1850: Take This Boy Down for Me!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You �� Who the hell do you think you are? To dare gesture and comment on my Leng Family��s affairs? Killing my brother? What proof do you have? The one who made the Leng Family lose face is you and Leng Xu. Not me, Leng Hao! You stand here and spout empty rhetoric, based on what?��


    Leng Hao being kicked flying by Ye Yuan with a foot, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of enmity.


    Ever since Leng Xu knew Ye Yuan, everything seemed to have changed.


    But now, it was a God-given opportunity!


    Ye Yuan himself courted death, provoking Han Dongjun. This was a chance for him to turn the situation around!


    When Han Dongjun saw Ye Yuan, his two eyes were practically spewing fire.


    ��You��re that Ye Yuan who killed my Xiao-er?�� Han Dongjun gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly. His thoughts stirred, a maidservant and a black-clothed man fell onto the stage.


    He turned to Leng Hongxiu and said coolly, ��This maidservant is a spy that Leng Hao planted around Leng Xu. A few days ago, she put Heavenly Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder into Leng Xu��s food. It was in order to make Leng Xu lose today��s battle for the young patriarch position. As for this black-clothed man, he��s Leng Hao��s confidant. What Leng Hao has done these few years, as long as Family Head searches his soul, you��ll naturally know everything.��


    Seeing these two people, Leng Hao��s expression changed drastically.


    That maidservant was still alright, but that man in black was his right arm and knew his affairs like the back of his hand.


    If his soul was searched, it was all over!


    Actually, that day at the Leng Manor��s entrance, Ye Yuan already detected the existence of this black-clothed man.


    It was just that the other party did not make a move, he did not take action either.


    That day, the black-clothed man and the maidservant met secretly but was detected by Ye Yuan who had sharp spiritual sense. He caught them red-handed.


    But in order not to stir the grass and alert the enemy, he deliberately let the black-clothed man leave.


    Today, taking advantage of the interval of the battle for young patriarch, Ye Yuan went to capture the black-cloth man and this maid.


    Leng Hao��s countenance naturally collapsed on its own.


    ��Family Head, don��t listen to this guy��s words! He has evil designs. I don��t know these two people at all!�� Leng Hao��s eyes revealed some panic but defended himself through sophistry.


    These few years, in order to become the young patriarch, he did quite a number of things that could not be exposed to the sun.


    Once it was exposed, he would be totally ruined!


    But Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said disdainfully, ��If not for Leng Xu, do you think that I��d bother with this nonsensical and messy thing? Fabricating charges against you? You, are you also worthy?��


    Leng Hongxiu��s expression was also not looking too good.


    Right now, the development of things had gone far beyond his expectations.


    How could he not perceive the panic in Leng Hao��s eyes?


    However, Leng Hao was not some heinous and wicked beyond redemption person in his impression.


    On the contrary, he thought very highly of Leng Hao.


    It was also precisely so that he pushed for Leng Hao to become the young patriarch.


    Leng Xu��s personality was too undisciplined and carefree. Honestly speaking, it was also not suited to inherit the position of family head.


    These were all within Leng Hao��s scope of considerations.


    He was currently the head of a family and had no choice but to consider a little further.


    But right at this time, the Han Dongjun who had been treated as air all along said furiously, ��Punk, I��m talking to you, didn��t you hear me? Are you the murderer Ye Yuan who killed my Xiao-er?��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said crossly, ��Who are you, do I know you? Why do I have to talk to you? Also, didn��t Leng Hao called my name just now? Are you deaf, didn��t you hear?��


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan��s words made the Leng Family��s people all simmer with laughter.


    Even the Han Family people that he brought also could not refrain from laughing.


    Han Dongjun��s fury towered to the sky. His son was killed, and he even had to be scoffed at by this fellow. What was it with this world?


    ��Little brute, you actually dared to kill Xiao-er. Today, even if the Jade Emperor comes, he can��t save you either!�� Han Dongjun said angrily.


    Ye Yuan said with a scornful look, ��When I killed Han Xiao, there were many people around. It was clearly him who ambushed, wanting to kill me but was counter-killed by me. But now, you��re questioning me. Heh, the Han Family��s people are really overbearing!��


    Han Dongjun said in a cold voice, ��Who the hell do you think you are, to also dare compare to my Xiao-er? You��re just a trash who��s less than animals in front of him!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Yeah, I, this trash who��s less than animals, killed your son using only one move. Your son is lesser than �� even a trash who��s less than animals!��


    ��Pffft!��


    Another burst of laughter sounded out, making Han Dongjun unable to contain his anger. He roared, ��What are you laughing at?! Laugh again and I��ll tear your mouths!��


    Finished talking, his expression was very grim as he turned to Leng Hongxiu and said, ��Leng Hongxiu, what are you going to do? I��m going to bring the person away right now, you have no objections, right? He already admitted to killing Xiao-er!��


    Leng Hongxiu gave Ye Yuan a glance and said coolly, ��This person isn��t a member of my Leng Family. If you want to bring away, I naturally have nothing to say. But, it can��t be within my Leng Family��s boundary! After this matter is settled, I��ll chase him out of the Leng Family. At that time, whether you want to kill or dismember, it��s up to you.��


    The moment Han Dongjun heard, he grinned and said, ��Alright, I can wait! Brat, killing my Xiao-er, you��ll know how severe the consequences are!��


    Toward Leng Hongxiu��s attitude, Ye Yuan was not too surprised. He just shrugged and said, ��Just the likes of you can��t make me stay!��


    Han Dongjun seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and snickered as he said, ��Shameless boasting fool, a measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity also wants to escape from this Han��s hands! If I let you escape, I, this Han, absolutely won��t show face in Thousand Soar Imperial Capital in the future!��


    Han Dongjun was a half-step True God existence, his status in the Han Family rather high.


    No matter how formidable Ye Yuan, this Second Firmament Celestial Deity, was, it was also impossible to escape from his hands.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, ��You have to remember what you said today. At that time, don��t go back on your word.��


    He comprehended spatial shift. One thought, and he would be hundreds of thousands of miles away.


    Even a True God powerhouse also had to expend a lot of effort to catch up to him, let alone a mere half-step True God.


    By the side, Leng Hao was incomparably conflicted in his heart.


    He really wanted to go up and kill those two with a palm. But this way, him silencing people to prevent divulgence of his secrets would be equivalent to being confirmed.


    But not killing, once Leng Hongxiu searched the souls, wouldn��t he know everything.


    Right then, Leng Hongxiu spoke!


    ��Since you say that Hao-er entrapped Xu-er, then I��ll carry out a soul-search on these two! If it��s not like what you said, don��t blame my Leng Family for not being courteous!�� Leng Hongxiu looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but in his heart, a hint of foreboding premonition arose.


    It seemed like he somewhat underestimated the feelings between Leng Hongxiu and Leng Hao!


    Right at this time, the divine soul power of a True God Realm released, rushing into those two people��s sea of consciousness domineeringly.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The two people virtually spewed out a blood arrow at the same time, then fell to the ground, already ceased breathing.


    Ye Yuan��s face changed. Was this �� doing away with the witnesses?


    Leng Hao��s expression was incomparably nervous. His entire body was practically going to tremble already.


    Would Leng Hongxiu announce his crimes?


    Leng Hongxiu��s closed eyes slowly opened, looked at Ye Yuan, and said indifferently, ��Talking nonsense, ruining my Leng Family��s reputation! Come, men! Take this boy down for me!��

 Chapter 1851 - Confounding Black and White

    Chapter 1851: Confounding Black and White


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Leng Hao��s heart was practically jumping out of his throat.


    Happiness came so suddenly!


    No, wait, should say that his many years of hard work had not been in vain!


    Foster Father he still kept his thoughtfulness in mind!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures dashed straight onto the stage, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.


    But Leng Xu��s face changed and he said furiously, ��Uncle, no matter how displeasing to the eye you find me, you also can��t confound black and white, right? This matter has nothing to do with Ye Yuan. You let him go, I��ll shoulder all of the charges!��


    The current Leng Xu was really disappointed to the max with the Leng Family.


    He had never wanted to fight for anything before. But the vortex of the mundane world insisted on dragging him in, stirring him up until he was reduced to pieces.


    This feeling made him somewhat mentally and physically exhausted.


    Because of Ye Yuan, he was able to stand on the stage dignified and openly today, defeat Leng Hao, and win back his own heart.


    Because of Ye Yuan, he could walk out of decadence and find that former self.


    Now, if Ye Yuan was dragged down because of this matter, he could not forgive himself no matter what.


    However, Leng Hongxiu��s face fell and he said, ��Insolence! Your meaning is that I lied in front of so many people? You keep saying that Leng Hao is like this, like that, this is all your one-sided words! Then how do I know how many things you��ve done to let down the Leng Family? Back down!��


    Leng Xu��s complexion was like dead ash, but he refused to take a single step back. Blocking in front of Ye Yuan, he said stubbornly, ��I��m not backing down!��


    Leng Hongxiu��s face turned dark and he said, ��I announce that starting from today, Leng Xu��s position of young patriarch is abolished! Leng Hao is the Leng Family��s new young patriarch! All attack for me, take both of these two down for me!��


    The moment Leng hao heard this, his face revealed a hint of wild elation.


    So many years of long-cherished wish, he finally got his wish!


    Furthermore, looking at the situation today, Leng Xu would find it hard to escape death.


    Heh, a man knows when to yield and when not to. Just an outsider, is it worth it to die for him?


    In his heart, he was very disapproving of Leng Xu��s way of doing things.


    But it was also precisely because of this that it gave him an opportunity to exploit.


    At this time, Han Dongjun laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, Leng Hongxiu, don��t need to trouble you to take action against this little animal. I��ll directly capture him and be done with it!��.


    Leng Hongxiu nodded his head lightly and did not say anything.


    Now that it came to this, whoever capture Ye Yuan was the same.


    In the black-clothed man��s sea of consciousness, he naturally saw many things.


    Many of them even harmed the Leng Family��s interests.


    But there was one thing, a very large part of the things was done for him and Leng Qiuling.


    With this, it was sufficient!


    What he searched was not Leng Hao��s soul. He could only deduce Leng Hao��s goal through these things.


    Although it was wrong for Leng Hao to have done these things in order to become the young patriarch, it was also not unforgivable.


    The most important thing was that Leng Hongxiu inherently felt empathetic for Leng Hao.


    He was also suppressed by his big brother back then until he could not lift his head. All the way until he gave birth to an excellent daughter that it eased up somewhat.


    So he knew how difficult it was for Leng Hao to obtain his status today with his identity.


    Han Dongjun laughed loudly and looked at Ye Yuan with a smug look as he said, ��Brat, you got no temper now, right? Your mouth is formidable, but sadly, your strength is too weak! In front of me, Han Dongjun, you��re just an ant! Ants, can��t possibly escape my control!��


    Finished talking, Han Dongjun��s world power released, and arrived with a howl!


    The violent world power crunched over towards Ye Yuan, confining all of the space around him.


    Ye Yuan could only get captured without resistance!


    Bang!


    A loud noise came over, Han Dongjun��s entire person pounced onto the ring.


    However, Ye Yuan��s figure was already gone.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Where��s Ye Yuan?��


    Everyone looked at this scene with astounded faces. They did not even blink their eyes, but Ye Yuan disappeared without any traces just like this.


    Rather, Leng Hongxiu��s expression changed. That calm and collected expression finally had a trace of change.


    ��Are you looking for me?�� Up above in the sky, Ye Yuan stood in the air as he said coolly.


    Han Dongjun��s face changed and he exclaimed, ��S-Spatial shift! How is this possible?��


    ��Spatial shift? Fourth Firmament spatial law? My God!��


    ��No wonder this kid is so arrogant, he actually comprehended spatial law!��


    ��Unless it��s a True God powerhouse, otherwise, nobody can keep him behind at all!��


    ��


    The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.


    Their strength was too weak and could not see clearly how Ye Yuan escaped Han Dongjun��s certain-kill blow just now.


    The Fourth Firmament spatial law, this kind of law comprehension was virtually a god-like existence to them.


    Although people who comprehended spatial law were few, they were also not zero.


    In a place like the imperial capital, there would still occasionally have that one or two appear.


    But, being able to cultivate spatial law to the fourth firmament, spatial shift this step, there were absolutely none!


    Ye Yuan having this magical ability, within Celestial Deity Realm, no one could make him stay at all.


    Han Dongjun��s spatial confinement seemed powerful. But in front of Ye Yuan, it was simply child��s play.


    It was too easy for him to want to escape Han Dongjun��s confinement.


    ��You said just now, I��m an ant, and that it��s impossible to escape your control. Then �� what say you now? You can��t even catch an ant and also dare to speak wildly here?�� Ye Yuan looked at Han Dongjun, a mocking look on his face.


    The expression on Han Dongjun��s face was extremely ugly. He boasted too big just now, how could he have known that Ye Yuan still had such a contingency plan?


    Now, it was really losing face until his granny��s house.


    Seeing the Leng Family people��s amused smiles, he had an aggrieved look.


    Ye Yuan could display spatial shift. No matter how many people he brought, it was also impossible to keep Ye Yuan behind.


    Now, going back to request for reinforcements, Ye Yuan would have long escaped to God knows where.


    Therefore, he could only cast a pleading look towards Leng Hongxiu.


    ��Leng Family Head, my son��s death, Leng Xu can��t escape responsibility either! I hope that the Leng Family gives me an account!�� Han Dongjun was still assuming an arrogant air.


    When the old patriarch died, the Leng Family��s strength fell greatly.


    The present Han Family��s strength was even a bit stronger than the Leng Family. He did not need to give the Leng Family this face!


    Leng Hongxiu��s face fell and he said, ��Insolence! Who the hell do you think you are, to also dare speak to me like this?��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Under Leng Hongxiu��s powerful pressure, Han Dongjun directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    ��Leng Hongxiu, you!��


    Leng Hongxiu��s expression was dark and he said in a cold voice, ��A tiger not demonstrating his power, you really take me to be a sick cat? Even if my Leng Family is far from before, it��s also not what a random nobody like you can provoke! Now, immediately scram for me! I��ll detain the person. If you want the person, have Han Tianyu come find me personally!��


    Once a True God was enraged, how mighty was that!


    Han Dongjun��s face was ashen. His expression changed several times, and he finally roared, ��Leave!��


    After he left, Leng Hongxiu looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Young man, let yourself be seized without any resistance. If I take action, the aftermath will be hard to say!��


    Ye Yuan did not speak yet, but then he heard Leng Qiuling behind him heaved a sigh. She said, ��Lord Father, this matter, let��s stop here!��

 Chapter 1852 - Almost Made a Huge Blunder

    Everyone was stunned on the spot!


    The Leng Family��s peerless genius, Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciple, Leng Qiuling, actually sung a different tune with her own father?


    This reversal was also too dramatic.


    ��Qiuling, what did you say?�� Leng Hongxiu was also taken aback and asked.


    He knew that this daughter was the most filial and would never go against his will.


    What was going on today?


    Leng Qiuling said calmly, ��The right and wrong, everyone has a scale in their hearts. Big Brother Leng Hao��s actions and conduct indeed isn��t worthy of the title of young patriarch. Father, I suggest better to let Big Brother Leng Xu continue to be the young patriarch.��


    Another death-like silence!


    No one would have expected that Leng Qiuling actually said such words in front of everyone.


    Even Leng Xu also had an astounded face.


    Leng Qiuling entered Thousand Soar Mansion very early and had very little interaction with him. Their relationship was also not considered close.


    Why did she suddenly speak up for him?


    Rather, it was Leng Hao. When he heard Leng Qiuling��s words, it was akin to a bolt out of the blue.


    Even in his dreams, he never dared to believe that Leng Qiuling would actually say such things at this time!


    In his view, the one least likely to oppose him were Leng Hongxiu father and daughter.


    But Leng Qiuling actually gave him a fatal blow at this time!


    Even though Leng Qiuling was the same as him, just a junior of the Leng Family, her status was completely different.


    She was not just the Leng Family��s proud daughter of heaven. She was also the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s proud daughter of heaven.


    Leng Qiuling normally would not care about the Leng Family��s affairs at all. Her horizons had long already transcended the Leng Family��s level.


    But today, she actually spoke up!


    Leng Qiuling��s words were absolutely heavyweight-class. It was even more useful than all of the elders�� words put together!


    Leng Hongxiu��s brows knitted together. Recalling his daughter��s reaction previously, he immediately understood in his heart.


    This Ye Yuan was likely that Ye Yuan!


    Except, could it be that this kid called Ye Yuan really had a powerful background?


    Otherwise, why would his daughter refute his face in front of so many people?


    ��Since Ling-er already said so, then ���� Leng Hongxiu finally still heeded his daughter��s words and planned to announce the final result.


    Leng Hao��s face was akin to dead ash. His many years of hard work were actually no match for Leng Qiuling��s one sentence!


    He hated it!


    ��Hang on!�� But at this moment, Leng Xu suddenly interrupted his words.


    Leng Hongxiu��s brows furrowed, but he heard Leng Xu say solemnly: ��Big Brother Leng Hao, I��ve told you before, this position of young patriarch, I don��t care about it! What I value more is familial relationship and friendship! It��s just a shame that the big brother that was akin to a father and brother in my eyes back in the old days already slowly drifted further apart. I didn��t come today to fight with you over this position of young patriarch too. I just want to tell everyone that I, Leng Xu, have never thought about continuing to be this young patriarch either. From this day forth, I, Leng Xu, resign from the position of the Leng Family��s young patriarch!��


    This sudden turn of events made everyone stunned.


    When everyone all thought that the outcome of this struggle for young patriarch was already a foregone conclusion because of a sentence from Leng Qiuling, Leng Xu himself actually came forward and wanted to resign from the position of young patriarch.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene and secretly smiled as he nodded.


    He understood that those able to do it like Leng Xu were not many.


    One had to know, being a young patriarch meant more cultivation resources and advantages. This point, no one was clearly than Leng Xu about it.


    But, he put it down straight away, without dragging anything out.


    Actually, in Ye Yuan��s view, although cultivation resources were important, the path was carved out by oneself. However much the cultivation resources, it was also not as important as walking one��s path.


    One��s own might was true might!


    Except, very few people could understand this.


    Leng Qiuling��s eyes also glinted, clearly very surprised by Leng Xu��s action.


    Her horizons had transcended the scope of the Leng Family long ago.


    The reason why she said so was entirely looking on account of Ye Yuan��s face.


    She did not expect that Leng Xu did not care about this position of young patriarch at all.


    Suddenly, Leng Qiuling felt that it was rather funny. It was really birds of a feather flock together.


    If it were Ye Yuan, he would also do so, right?


    Even though she did not have much contact with Ye Yuan, she could tell that Ye Yuan was similarly stubborn and unruly, someone unrestrained and carefree.


    No secular concept could constrain such a person.


    After falling silent for a moment, Leng Hongxiu nodded and said, ��Forget it, all disperse. The position of young patriarch will be discussed another day!��


    With the family head giving a verbal instruction, everyone dispersed, leaving behind only Leng Hao alone, his gaze glassy.


    Leng Xu��s final words sent his entire person into a daze.


    It turned out that an extremely simple thing was made complicated by him.


    It turned out that this position of young patriarch could be won with extreme ease. But now, it turned into nothing.


    It turned out that Leng Xu really did not care about the position of young patriarch!


    It turned out that all of his efforts were just a superfluous joke!


    ��


    ��Does Father want to ask why I stopped you from dealing with Ye Yuan?�� Leng Qiuling saw through her father��s unhappiness and took the initiative to start the conversation.


    Leng Hongxiu was at any rate the head of a family. With his daughter embarrassing him in front of everyone, his face had nowhere to put!


    But toward Leng Qiuling, Leng Hongxiu was clearly very tolerating. He had a black face as he said, ��This Ye Yuan is that Ye Yuan you know?��


    Leng Qiuling nodded her head.


    ��Just what origin does this boy have? You just had to come forward at this time!��


    Leng Qiuling briefly recounted what she saw and heard back then on the Heavenspan Mountain, making the expression on Leng Hongxiu��s face gradually change.


    ��Your meaning is that �� this boy might be a genius under a Heavenly Emperor��s command?�� Leng Hongxiu said in surprise.


    Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, ��I��m also not sure, but that old drunkard��s strength, Father, you, should have heard of it, right? He actually stood up for a young man who didn��t even reach the Divine Lord Realm. Isn��t this suspicious? Furthermore, the mysteries on Ye Yuan��s body are too many, numerous until it makes people unable to see through. Such a person, we at least can��t provoke him!��


    The more Leng Hongxiu listened, the more frightened he got. To be able to make his daughter have such a high appraisal, this young man was clearly not ordinary.


    In truth, how could a genius capable of comprehending spatial shift be ordinary?


    The more he thought, the more lingering Leng Hongxiu felt. If Ye Yuan really came from a Heavenly Emperor, or even a Dao Ancestor faction, then the consequences of touching him would be too severe!


    ��This �� Why didn��t you say earlier?! Father nearly made a huge blunder!�� Leng Hongxiu said.


    Leng Qiuling said, ��I wasn��t aware of it beforehand too. In truth, I completely didn��t expect that in a short few centuries�� time, Ye Yuan��s strength could actually reach such a level! You have to know, back then when I met him on the Heavenspan Mountain, he didn��t even reach Divine Lord Realm!��


    Back then, when Leng Qiuling encountered Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan was only at the boundary of grand completion Origin Deity.


    With Leng Qiuling��s cultivation speed, ordinary people would only get pulled further and further apart from her.


    But Ye Yuan actually narrowed the gap until it was just a tiny bit within a short few hundred years.


    Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity versus Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it might be insurmountable to ordinary people for life.


    But placed on Ye Yuan, it was clearly not very applicable.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan kicked the Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Leng Hao flying with one foot on the stage!

 Chapter 1853 - Seeking Battle

    ��Really didn��t expect that Younger Sister Qiuling actually spoke up for us at the last minute. Just now, I was really frightened badly. It doesn��t matter to me, but if I implicated you, I can��t forgive myself in this lifetime.��


    Returning to the courtyard, Leng Xu felt lingering fear.


    Previously, on the stage, saying that it was hanging on by a thread was also not over the top.


    Even though Ye Yuan had spatial shift, facing a True God powerhouse, it was also impossible to easily escape.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��They won��t do anything to me.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s indifferent look, Leng Xu said huffily, ��You��re really reckless! Uncle he��s a True God powerhouse! But speaking of things, it��s also strange. My relationship with Young Sister Qiuling isn��t considered close. Why would she refute her own father��s face in front of so many people?��


    Just as they were talking, a servant came to report, saying that Leng Qiuling came. This made Leng Xu stupefied again.


    Leng Qiuling came leisurely, like a moving iceberg, emitting a proud and cold aura from head to toe.


    Not seeing for several hundred years, Leng Qiuling��s transformation was very big.


    It was not just the increase in strength, her disposition also underwent a drastic change.


    Leng Qiuling back then was still just a junior.


    But now, she already faintly had the bearing of someone in the upper echelons.


    This was portrayed most vividly during the battle for young patriarch.


    A casual sentence, but no one dared to refute it.


    When Leng Xu saw Leng Qiuling, he went up to greet, saying: ��Many thanks to Younger Sister Qiuling for helping us out of our predicament today. Otherwise, Ye Yuan and I would be in danger.��


    Although he did not know why Leng Qiuling would come forward and speak up for him, thanks still had to be said.


    It was merely a sentence to Leng Qiuling, but to him, it was a life-saving grace.


    Faced with Leng Xu��s thanks, Leng Qiuling just said nonchalantly, ��Big Brother Xu doesn��t need to be courteous. I was just saying a word of fairness.��


    But her gaze went past Leng Xu and looked at the Ye Yuan behind him.


    Leng Xu detected Leng Qiuling��s gaze and could not help being taken aback, turning his head and looking toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and opened his mouth and said, ��Parting for years, Fairy Leng��s elegant appearance is even more radiant than back then!��


    Leng Qiuling smiled faintly and said, ��A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes. Young Master Ye really broadened my horizons today! I want to apologize to Young Master Ye and take back the words I said back then.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s all past matters, mention it for what? Today, this Ye still have to thank Fairy Leng for resolving my predicament!��


    Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, ��I believe that there is no need for me to get you out of the fix. Young Master Ye also has a way to get out of trouble.��


    Although she did not know Ye Yuan��s means, if Father wanted to keep Ye Yuan behind, it likely would not be that easy.


    Ye Yuan was not that kind of reckless person. Since he mixed into the Leng Family��s dispute, he definitely had some reliance.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Although I only had the pleasure of meeting Fairy Leng once, Fairy Leng seems like this Ye��s old friend of many years, knowing me like the back of your hand. However, I still have to thank you.��


    By the side, Leng Xu was long dumbfounded from listening.


    It turned out that Leng Qiuling and Ye Yuan were actually old acquaintances.


    It was just that he was very curious, the two people��s conversation sounded very familiar, but was also not very familiar.


    It seemed like they merely only happened to have met once.


    But this brief one-time encounter could actually make Leng Qiuling behave contrary to her normal behavior, and refute her own father��s face?


    Furthermore, Leng Qiuling actually smiled!


    She smiled at Ye Yuan!


    In Leng Xu��s impression, he had never seen Leng Qiuling smile at a guy before.


    The shock in Leng Xu��s heart could be imagined.


    ��Then Young Master Ye��s thanks, Qiuling will accept it. Qiuling has a presumptuous request. I wonder if Young Master Ye can agree or not?�� Leng Qiuling said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and smiled as he said, ��Fairy Leng��s request, how can this Ye dare to not agree?��


    Leng Qiuling��s gaze suddenly became sharp and she said, ��Qiuling wishes to have a battle with Sir. I hope that Sir will agree to it.��


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan and Leng Xu were both taken aback.


    Leng Xu was incomparably surprised. As the Thousand Soar Mansion��s peerless genius, Leng Qiuling could not find an opponent among peers at all.


    Her opponents had always been those very senior disciples in Thousand Soar Mansion, their realms were also mostly higher than hers.


    Now, she actually wanted to challenge a Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Of course, Ye Yuan��s strength, Leng Xu admired it greatly too.


    At least, he was not his match.


    But, to face Leng Qiuling, it was still not enough.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Okay!��


    ��


    ��Roar of Ice!��


    ��Ice Dragon Howling Sky!��


    ��Spirit Concealing Sword!��


    On the stage, two figures fought fiercely without rest. For some time, it was actually hard to distinguish who was superior or inferior.


    Ye Yuan relied on law fusion and actually forcefully managed to fight to a draw with Leng Qiuling.


    Below the stage, Leng Xu watched until he was dumbfounded, mouth gaping.


    ��Turns out that Ye Yuan��s strength is actually powerful to such a level already! When he was practicing his sword on me, he didn��t even use 10% of his strength!�� Leng Xu murmured.


    For him to be able to have a breakthrough in power of laws within ten days, it was entirely because of Ye Yuan��s wringing-style training.


    Back then, Leng Xu felt that Ye Yuan was very strong, but did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually strong to the extent where he could battle with Leng Qiuling.


    Although Ye Yuan was at a disadvantage, he had just entered Second Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Such a monstrous Leng Qiuling was actually leapfrogged and battled by someone.


    By the side, Leng Hongxiu was similarly incomparably shocked.


    His daughter��s position in the Thousand Soar Mansion, he knew it like the palm of his own hand.


    It had always been his daughter jumping realms and challenging others. It was still his first time seeing someone jump realms to challenge his daughter.


    Seeing this scene, he was even more certain of Leng Qiuling��s speculation.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Two figures separated upon contact, each retreating away.


    Fine beads of sweat actually seeped out on Leng Qiuling��s forehead.


    And Ye Yuan also had a rare episode of panting.


    Fighting Leng Qiuling was still too forceful to the current him.


    Leng Qiuling��s expression was icy-cold, but the shock in her heart could not use words to describe at all.


    For the first time in her life, she knew what was called a feeling of setback.


    Recalling when she met Ye Yuan back then, she had once said that Ye Yuan and her were destined to not be people in the same world.


    But several hundred years had passed, this sentence appeared so feeble.


    Although he was still somewhat inferior in terms of strength, without a doubt, Ye Yuan already arrived at her world.


    This was indisputable!


    Furthermore, developing in accordance with this trend, Ye Yuan surpassing her was merely a matter of time.


    It was just that Leng Qiuling could not figure out no matter what, why such a peerlessly talented character would be stuck at grand completion Origin Deity Realm for as long as 300 years.


    Thinking about it now, this was simply something beyond comprehension.


    ��Fairy Leng is indeed well-deserving of being a peerless genius. This Ye concedes defeat!�� Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said.


    This fight just now, he had indeed lost.


    However, Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, ��Young Master Ye didn��t go all out, so how can you say that you��re defeated? If it were a deathmatch, who will emerge victoriously is not yet known!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Isn��t Fairy Leng the same too? In the end, it��s still that I��m not strong enough.��


    Not a life-and-death match, everyone normally would not bring out their 100% strength.


    Really reaching that point, that would be the moment of either you die or I perish already. Wanting to pull back would be very difficult.

 Chapter 1854 - Return in Defeat

    ��Haha, Little Friend Ye is really a dragon among men. I offended you earlier. Looking on account of Qiuling��s face, I hope that Little Friend Ye doesn��t blame me.��


    Leng Hongxiu��s attitude suddenly changed drastically, making Leng Xu stunned too.


    Previously, after the battle for young patriarch, Leng Hongxiu was still going to be cavalier with Ye Yuan.


    In this twinkle, he was actually so courteous to him.


    Even if Ye Yuan displayed his talent, he was just a junior after all. An exalted True God powerhouse actually apologized to a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist. This would make people��s jaws drop too much.


    Ye Yuan had a score in his heart and naturally knew what Leng Hongxiu was thinking in his head.


    One would not hit a smiling face, Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Family Head Leng is too polite. This matter, Ye Yuan had areas where I was wrong too. I hope that Family Head Leng is magnanimous enough to forgive.��


    Leng Hongxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, ��Not at all, not at all, Little Friend Ye doesn��t know this but Hao-er is considered half a son to me. So I view him in a different light from others, that��s why there was such a misunderstanding.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Family Head Leng is also someone who values sentiments, Ye Yuan understands, Since Leng Xu has no inclinations towards the position of young patriarch, why not Family Head Leng pass the position of young patriarch to Leng Hao?��


    Leng Hongxiu had an awkward look when he heard that, thinking to himself that this kid was so formidable.


    This move made concessions in order to gain advantages, it was forcing him to clarify his position!


    ��Huhu, Little Friend must be joking. Leng Hao made a grave mistake. I was just about to order people to throw him into the dungeons as a warning to others. So how can I let him take the position of young patriarch?�� Leng Hongxiu smiled and said.


    Leng Xu was dumbfounded from watching by the side. Leng Hongxiu��s attitude change was a little too big.


    It even made him have an illusion, feeling that Leng Hongxiu was somewhat groveling.


    Actually, even though Leng Hongxiu was a True God powerhouse, he was not some fierce and ambitious person who was decisive in going for the kill.


    On the contrary, he was a little weak-willed. Otherwise, he also would not be led by the nose by Leng Hao, this kind of junior.


    The reason why he could get his position was entirely relying on his daugther, Leng Qiuling.


    With such a peerless proud child of heaven in Thousand Soar Mansion, it would not do for the Leng Family to not want to regard him with importance.


    But in terms of character, he actually had flaws and was not very suited to hold the position of family head.


    At the thought of Ye Yuan��s possible background, Leng Hongxiu put down the proud attitude of a True God Realm, because he was apprehensive of Ye Yuan.


    Actually, this could not be blamed on him either. The Heavenspan Mountain was the core location of the entire Heavenspan World.


    Factions that controlled the entrances of the Heavenspan Mountain, not one was not an apex force of the Heavenspan World.


    Forget about the Leng Family, even the entire imperial capital could not afford to provoke too.


    And the talent that Ye Yuan displayed made him even more certain of this idea.


    Not just him, even Leng Qiuling, her thoughts right now were also pretty much the same as his.


    But this scene landing in Leng Xu��s eyes was totally not the case.


    ��Huhu, if Little Friend Ye doesn��t mind, just stay in my Leng Family for the time being. You and Leng Xu are on friendly terms, so I believe that you can get along very well. I still have things and won��t keep you company anymore,�� Leng Hongxiu smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Then I��ll impose on Family Head.��


    ��


    At the same time, Han Dongjun knelt in front of the Han Family��s family head, Han Tianyu. Tears and snot were on his face.


    ��Family Head, you have to stand up for Dongjun! I only have this one son. Now, he was actually killed by someone. That Leng Hongxiu was so impolite, having no respect for you at all!��


    Han Tianyu��s brows furrowed. He was not that kind of weak-willed person like Leng Hongxiu, being steered by a few words from Han Dongjun.


    The Han Family��s strength was even stronger than the Leng Family��s. This was not unrelated to him, this family head.


    After musing for a moment, Han Tianyu said, ��Come, we��ll go and demand for the person!��


    Han Dongjun��s talent in cultivation could not make it, it was likely difficult for him to step into the True God Realm in this lifetime as well.


    But his talent in management was very high. The Han Family��s businesses were mostly managed by Han Dongjun.


    Now, Han Dongjun was beaten by someone, it was equivalent to giving the Han Family a slap.


    A Han Family��s descendant was killed and the father was even injured by people. If he, this Family Head, did not come forward, it could not be justified no matter what.


    In Han Dongjun��s view, the Leng Family was only making him go into action because of a matter of face.


    Just a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, it was not worthwhile for the Leng Family to fight to the bitter end with the Han Family.


    The moment he went into action, he would definitely be captured with ease.


    However, he miscalculated!


    Facing Han Tianyu��s demand for the person, Leng Hongxiu said with a fake smile, ��Huhu, Brother Tianyu, Ye Yuan is my Leng Family��s distinguished guest. You coming forward to demand for the person like this, it��s probably not appropriate, right?��


    Han Dongjun was stunned when he heard that. Before he left, wasn��t Leng Hongxiu still yelling about killing Ye Yuan?


    How did Ye Yuan become the Leng Family��s honored guest in a blink of an eye?


    Hearing Leng Hongxiu��s words, Han Tianyu��s face fell and he said, ��Family Head Leng, it��s probably improper for you to be like this, right? That Ye Yuan killed my Han Family��s descendant. If I don��t finish him off, how will my Han Family still show face to people in the imperial capital in the future?��


    Leng Hongxiu just said coolly, ��That��s your Han Family��s business. Nothing to do with me. All in all, this Ye Yuan, you can��t touch him!��


    Han Tianyu gave a cold snort and said, ��If I insist on touching? Could it be that your Leng Family is going to go to war with my Han Family?��


    Leng Hongxiu chuckled and said, ��Go to war then, is my Leng Family scared of you? Although my elder brother has already passed on, don��t you forget that my Leng Family still has Leng Qiuling!��


    Han Tianyu��s face changed, his expression ugly to the extreme.


    The Leng family was originally already going downhill. But no one could have expected that in these recent 1000 years, the Leng Family actually produced Leng Qiuling, overpowering the other few major families in the imperial capital.


    Leng Qiuling was currently the Thousand Soar Mansion��s treasure. Practically the best resources were piled onto her.


    Han Tianyu��s son was much older than Leng Qiuling, but his current strength was also merely more or less the same as Leng Qiuling��s.


    If the Han Family and Leng Family really fell out to the point of no return, Thousand Soar Mansion would definitely intervene.


    Leng Hongxiu was relying on precisely this that he could tackle the tense situation calmly.


    Han Tianyu drew a deep breath, eased up his tone, and said, ��Younger Brother Hongxiu, it��s merely a Second Firmament Celestial Deity kid, is there a need to be like this?��


    Leng Hongxiu gave him an indifferent glance and said smilingly, ��Second Firmament Celestial Deity kid? Heh, Han Tianyu, you��re clever all your life, but stupid this once!��


    Han Tianyu was slightly taken aback and said, ��What does this mean?��


    Leng Hongxiu said, ��Even though Han Dongjun is a good-for-nothing, he��s at any rate a half-step True God existence too! I gave him the chance, but he actually couldn��t even capture a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. Do you think that this Second Firmament Celestial Deity would be simple?��


    By the side, Han Dongjun was practically about to lose it.


    Leng Hongxiu actually scolded him good-for-nothing in front of so many people.


    However, Han Tianyu looked over with a rather unfriendly expression, making Han Dongjun��s face change.


    He naturally would not say such a humiliating thing for Han Tianyu to hear.


    A half-step True God taking action actually could not take care of a Second Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Saying good-for-nothing was praising him already.


    ��Family Head, I �� I ���� Han Dongjun stammered, not knowing what to say.


    Smack!


    A slap from Han Tianyu immediately slapped Han Dongjun out far away.


    Such a piece of important information, this damn fellow actually concealed it and did not report, making him come over to lose face together along with him!


    Was Han Dongjun a good-for-nothing?


    Of course not!


    At least in front of a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, Han Dongjun was absolutely not a good-for-nothing.


    Leng Hongxiu��s words had a profound meaning!


    ��Many thanks for Younger Brother Hongxiu��s warning. Today, it was this Han who was rash.�� Han Tianyu clasped his hands and took his leave.

 Chapter 1855 - Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove

    On this day, In the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range ten thousand miles north-east of Thousand Soar Imperial Capital suddenly, it suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    Four enormous phantoms rose into the sky; extremely dazzling. They could be seen clearly within the boundary of the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital.


    Looking closely, these four phantoms were the extremely rare Four Symbols Divine Beasts of the Heavenspan World.


    Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise!


    The energy undulation that the four phantoms stirred up surges in tempestuous waves, practically sweeping through the boundary of the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital.


    It was not the Thousand Soar Imperial Capital itself, but the entire scope that the Thousand Soar Imperial Capital had jurisdiction over, including all of the imperial cities, capital cities, as well as counties.


    Its power could be seen at a glance.


    Right at this time, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts�� mouths each spewed out a ray of light, converging in the air.


    In the center, an old man��s virtual image gradually formed.


    ��This old man is Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove who accidentally died in this place. My power had no successors, casting it away is a pity. Hence, I laid down this immortal abode, hoping to find a successor to inherit my mantle!��


    This voice spread out akin to rolling thunder. Everyone could clear it clearly.


    Inside Thousand Soar Imperial Capital, when Ye Yuan heard this voice, his entire person was akin to being thunderstruck.


    It turned out that the thing Dustless said that was related to them was actually Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove!


    ��It��s him! It��s indeed him! Haha, that old man actually buried himself here!��


    Inside Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, Dustless started laughing crazily.


    Looking at that strapping figure that was akin to that of a god, Ye Yuan was speechless for a long time.


    This was Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove?


    Indeed unparalleled and overbearing!


    Even choosing a successor actually made it so that everyone knew about it too.


    Beside Ye Yuan, Leng Qiuling��s pair of beautiful eyes was also swiveling non-stop. Clearly, she was very moved too.


    Empyrean powerhouse!


    In the entire Heavenspan World, Empyrean powerhouses were absolutely a nuke-level existence[1].


    Just as how Divine Lord Realm stopped the vast majority of martial artists, Empyrean, this threshold, similarly stopped countless peerless geniuses.


    In the entire Heavenspan World, True God powerhouses were as plentiful as oxen hair. But among them, a million people might not be able to produce an Empyrean powerhouse too!


    True God to Empyrean was an insurmountable great mountain.


    The entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital was seething with excitement. Virtually all the martial artists were raring to have a go. There were even quite a few people who already sprinted out of the imperial capital, heading for Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    Such an opportunity was hard to encounter once in a million years!


    However, Ye Yuan��s brows knitted together.


    What medicine was this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove selling in his gourd?


    ��Why? Brother Ye doesn��t seem to be that interested in this opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime!��


    Ye Yuan��s reaction was somewhat outside of Leng Qiuling��s expectations.


    The inheritance of an Empyrean powerhouse, that was something that everyone yearned for in their sleep, but Ye Yuan��s brows were tightly locked.


    Even with her, Leng Qiuling��s, cold personality, she was somewhat moved. But Ye Yuan had a very disinterested appearance.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard that and said smilingly, ��Of course I��m interested. It��s just that I feel that it��s rather fishy.��


    Leng Qiuling��s beautiful eyes moved and she asked curiously, ��Fishy?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This senior said that he��s looking for a successor, but he doesn��t have any requirements regarding bone age, cultivation realm, talent, and whatever. Also, this senior reported his own name, like he��s afraid that his enemies don��t know about it. Isn��t this strange?��


    Leng Qiuling was also surprised when she heard that. Hearing Ye Yuan said so, it really divulged peculiarity everywhere.


    Normally, when looking for a successor, one would have extremely high requirements for natural endowments.


    The successor of an Empyrean powerhouse was even high until it made people��s scalps tingle.


    Thousand Soar Imperial Capital was merely a True God level force. But their requirement for disciples also reached Leng Qiuling��s level


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was a peak Empyrean peerless powerhouse. If he was really seeking a successor, how could he possibly not have any stipulations about this at all?


    Of course, Ye Yuan also did not say one thing, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s inheritance was practically all left behind in the Immortal Grove World. Apart from an Empyrean spirit treasure, the rest were all obtained by him.


    Then, what was the inheritance here?


    Leng Qiuling��s pair of beautiful eyes sized Ye Yuan up non-stop like it was her first time knowing Ye Yuan.


    She discovered that Ye Yuan was really an enigmatic character.


    His wisdom, his talent, it really made the so-called geniuses perspire with shame.


    Among them included herself.


    More than ten years already passed in a blink. Ye Yuan��s realm rose rapidly and already reached peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity, while she only cultivated to middle-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Presently, if Ye Yuan fought with her again, he could already fight to a draw.


    This kind of improvement speed simply made people��s scalps tingle.


    ��Staring at me like that for what? Are there flowers on my face?�� Ye Yuan was stared at by Leng Qiuling until he felt a little crept out and said smilingly.


    Leng Qiuling smiled and said, ��Facing an Empyrean legacy, you can still maintain such composure. I��m afraid that in the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital, it��s also just you alone.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s no harm in thinking more when encountering things. The more tempting the thing, the more it tends to conceal danger at the back.��


    Leng Qiuling ruminated on this sentence, feeling that it was very logical.


    The demise of many powerhouses was because they could not resist temptation.


    Except, facing such an inheritance, how many people could be calm?


    Leng Qiuling looked around and discovered that each person was incomparably feverish as if this legacy was already an item in their bags.


    ��In that case, you don��t plan on getting involved in these muddied waters?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Haha, this is an Empyrean legacy, how can I possibly let it go?��


    When Leng Qiuling heard that, she could not resist rolling her eyes. This guy said so much, it was equivalent to not saying anything.


    But she saw Ye Yuan suddenly say solemnly, ��Qiuling, you go and tell your master. It��s best to be on the alert, but don��t take action first. Wait and see. This Empyrean abode is probably not that easy to enter.��


    After more than ten years, Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling already became good friends.


    As for Leng Qiuling��s master, he was also Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s ruler.


    Leng Qiuling was slightly surprised, but still nodded and said. ��Okay, I��ll go and find Master straight away. It��s just �� don��t know if he will listen or not.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Ten days! You have him wait 10 days! Within 10 days, there will definitely be an unforeseen event that happens.��


    Leng Qiuling nodded slightly, turned around, and left.


    ��


    ��Master, could it be that �� you��re going to go to that Empyrean abode?��


    When Leng Qiuling rushed to Thousand Soar Mansion, her master just happened to exit seclusion.


    Looking at his appearance, it looked like he was setting off.


    Leng Qiuling secretly thought what a close shave, a step later and Master would have left.


    Leng Qiuling��s master, Gu Tianque, Seventh Firmament True God peerless powerhouse, and also Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s ruler.


    Toward Leng Qiuling this disciple, Gu Tianque naturally regarded her with special respect.


    ��Huhu, this is a huge opportunity that comes once in a lifetime! Thousand Soar Imperial Capital is in a favorable position, this benefit mustn��t be snatched away by others!��


    Immortal Grove��s might, as a Seventh Firmament True God, Gu Tianque could feel it distinctly.


    This Empyrean was absolutely not an average Empyrean powerhouse, but a high-level Empyrean powerhouse.


    With Gu Tianque��s talent, barring no accidents, it was very hard to have another breakthrough in this lifetime.


    Now, such a huge lucky chance suddenly popped out, how could he not be moved?


    But Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, ��Master, this Empyrean abode, you can��t go!��


    [1] Yes, the word for nuclear was used.

 Chapter 1856 - Empyrean Death

    ��Can��t go? Lass, do you know what you��re saying?��


    Gu Tianque��s brows furrowed, clearly somewhat unhappy.


    This kind of massive lucky chance placed in front of him, whoever stopped him would simply be like the great enmity of killing one��s father.


    Even if the one who stopped him was his own disciple.


    Leng Qiuling still had an icy-cold face as she said calmly, ��Master, there��s something fishy about this Empyrean inheritance.��


    Leng Qiuling repeated Ye Yuan��s words, Gu Tianque listened until his brows were tightly knitted.


    ��What can that mean? Do you know what an Empyrean legacy signifies to Master?�� Gu Tianque was still unmoved.


    The allure of an Empyrean legacy was seriously too great. Especially for Gu Tianque this kind, who basically had no hopes of making any more breakthroughs.


    Leng Qiuling was rather anxious as she said, ��Ten days, just ten days, alright?��


    Gu Tianque��s gaze turned sharp and he said, ��This isn��t your idea, right?��


    Leng Qiuling did not hide it either and said, ��It��s Ye Yuan��s!��


    Gu Tianque��s face fell and he could not help ruminating.


    Ye Yuan��s matters, Leng Qiuling naturally would not hide from her own master either.


    His true identity naturally also aroused Gu Tianque��s speculations in all respects.


    Musing for a moment, Gu Tianque nodded and said, ��Alright, just ten days!��


    Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s commotion practically spread out at once.


    A major incident that shook the entire imperial capital, it could not be concealed even if one wanted to hide it too.


    From the second day onwards, the figures of many experts appeared in the vicinity of Thousand Soar Imperial Capital.


    True God powerhouses could not be casually seen even in places like imperial capitals too.


    But now, inside and outside of the imperial capital, the figures of True God powerhouses could be seen everywhere.


    Some of their auras were very powerful, even not beneath Gu Tianque��s.


    On the third day, Gu Tianque finally could not hold back anymore.


    ��Master, didn��t you promise me to wait ten days?��


    Leng Qiuling had always been keeping watch over Gu Tianque and discovered it at the first moment.


    Gu Tianque said, ��Lass, Master can��t wait anymore! Move aside!��


    Leng Qiuling said with a stubborn face, ��No way, you can��t go!��


    Gu Tianque��s face fell, his figure directly vanishing before Leng Qiuling��s eyes.


    If a Seventh Firmament True God powerhouse wanted to leave, how could Leng Qiuling stop him?


    Gu Tianque directly went out of Thousand Soar Imperial Capital with a flash.


    The distance of a million miles was not considered far for True God powerhouses. In a few breaths of time, Gu Tianque arrived at Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    Sensing the powerful undulations coming from on top of the mountain, Gu Tianque felt an upsurge of emotions and even somewhat trembled agitatedly.


    Suddenly, he laughed in spite of himself and said, ��No matter how impressive that brat is, he��s also merely an initial-stage Celestial Deity Realm. What knowledge or experience can he have? This Empyrean legacy, I, Gu Tianque, am determined to get it!��


    Finished saying, his figure leaped and was about to jump into Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    But right at this time, a rolling black mist came close from afar and arrived in an instant.


    ��All get further away for Your Father! Old Fart Immortal Grove��s abode is mine, Blackfiend��s!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Just a sentence and it injured the Seventh Firmament True God Gu Tianque.


    And this was even just an area-of-effect attack!


    At this time, the True God powerhouses who were similarly concealed in the mountain range were likely all the same as him, getting injured.


    ��Fiend race empyrean!�� Gu Tianque��s face changed and he cried out in shock.


    This black mist was clearly an Empyrean-level powerhouse of the fiend race!


    Gu Tianque did not expect that there would actually be an Empyrean powerhouse moving out so quickly.


    Furthermore, it was even a fiend race Empyrean powerhouse.


    ��Ye Yuan punk screwed me over!��


    Gu Tianque smacked his thigh and said with endless remorse and vexation.


    If he entered Heavenly Sun Mountain Range at the first moment, he would definitely be able to take the initiative.


    Now, even an Empyrean powerhouse had taken action, what had it got to do with him still?


    Hence, he wished to take apart Ye Yuan��s bones right now.


    This kind of lucky chance could not be encountered at any time!


    A single slip and it would bring everlasting regret!


    He could only helplessly watch that black mist land onto the mountain range and lament in pity.


    Very soon, that black mist submerged fully into the mountain range, Gu Tianque had a look of despair.


    This lucky chance had nothing to do with him anymore.


    But right at this time, a shrill scream rose straight to the sky.


    That black mist previously billowed in torrents once more.


    Gu Tianque��s face changed, When he looked again, that black mist already became dim and dark, forming a sharp contrast with that imposing momentum previously.


    ��Old Fart Immortal Grove, why are you still powerful when you��ve died already?�� That black mist wailed miserably.


    ��Heh, fiend race dog, since you came, how can I let you escape! Die for me!��


    A void that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life spread out, following that, a ray of light rose to the sky from within the mountain range, directly hitting that cloud of black mist.


    Immediately, this world was silent.


    One gaze after another looked towards the sky, incredibly shocked.


    An exalted Empyrean powerhouse died in front of them just like this?


    Gu Tianque swallowed his saliva, discovering that he was somewhat parched.


    So close, if not for this fiend race Empyrean powerhouse, the one dead right now would probably be him, right?


    It seemed like what Ye Yuan said was right. This was totally a setup, in order to draw some people over.


    How could the real legacy be obtained so easily?


    Didn��t they see that even an Empyrean powerhouse was instantly one-shotted?


    This Immortal Grove was absolutely a daunting figure even to the extreme big-shots when he was alive.


    ��


    Carrying the mood of having survived a disaster, Gu Tianque returned to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital.


    When Leng Qiuling saw Gu Tianque, she also heaved a long sigh in relief.


    ��Master, are �� are you okay?��


    Leng Qiuling saw Gu Tianque��s somewhat absent-minded appearance and could not help asking in concern.


    Gu Tianque glanced at Leng Qiuling and said, ��Master �� almost couldn��t come back anymore!��


    Leng Qiuling��s face changed and she said, ��What happened?��


    Gu Tianque smiled bitterly and recounted the scene that happened previously, saying: ��This time, it was all thanks to you and Ye Yuan. If not for you guys, this old life of mine would probably be lost at Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. You help me thank Ye Yuan well; no, you call him here, I want to thank him personally!��


    Leng Qiuling listened until she felt lingering fear too.


    An Empyrean powerhouse was exterminated in an instant, this sort of thing was simply unheard of.


    Just how powerful of an existence was this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove when he was alive?


    Although Gu Tianque did not adhere to the ten days deadline and ran off in-advance, if not for these two days of delay, Gu Tianque would definitely be dead without a doubt.


    This Empyrean abode was clearly not what the Thousand Soar Imperial Capital could devour alone already.


    When Ye Yuan came over, Gu Tianque thanked Ye Yuan ardently.


    Reaching his level, he regarded his life as the most important thing.


    Ye Yuan��s one sentence saved his life, how could he not be moved.


    But, when Ye Yuan heard the demise of an Empyrean, he knew that this was likely a retaliatory act of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove against his enemies.


    Sure enough, in the following days, Thousand Soar Imperial Capital was amidst the winds of change, and suddenly became the vortex of a storm.


    Within a short half a month, there were actually three Empyrean powerhouses who died in Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    Empyrean powerhouses, each one was a formidable existence that could make the Heavenspan World tremble with a stomp of their feet. Three actually died all at once.


    As for those True God powerhouses that no one paid attention to, no idea how many had died already.


    At this time, everyone finally realized that this abode was not easy to enter!

 Chapter 1857 - Still So Shameless

    The demise of three Empyreans did not stop those powerhouses from advancing wave after wave.


    However, the powerhouses who entered Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, not one was able to return alive.


    A month later, finally no one dared to arbitrarily enter the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range anymore.


    Powerhouses from everywhere started converging in Thousand Soar Imperial Capital, discussing how to enter this Empyrean abode.


    A city lord said, ��Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was a peak Empyrean powerhouse from five million years ago. His strength had already reached an inconceivable level and can even effortlessly annihilate Empyrean powerhouses.��


    Another person said, ��In my view, it��s likely difficult for us, these True God powerhouses, to enter inside.��


    ��This Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove has such formidable strength. There must be countless lucky chances inside this abode. Giving up just like this, who is willing? Moreover �� if we can obtain Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s Dao Fruit ����


    The moment these words came out, the atmosphere within the hall immediately tensed up.


    Empyrean Dao Fruit, who did not want?


    Furthermore, this was not an ordinary Empyrean Dao Fruit, but a peak Empyrean Dao Fruit!


    Among these people, it was impossible for there to be someone who could reach this level in their lifetime.


    Gu Tianque said, ��Now, someone already discovered that martial artists below Celestial Deity Realm will be fine entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. There have already been True God Realm martial artists who tried it before. As long as one suppresses their realm to Celestial Deity Realm, they won��t be attacked when going deep into the mountain range. But, inside this Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, it is still filled with dangers. I feel that we��d better cooperate with a united effort, and think of a way to enter the abode first. I wonder what��s everyone��s opinion?��


    Hearing Gu Tianque��s words, everyone all nodded their heads in succession.


    Don��t look at how they were all True God Realm powerhouses. In front of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, they were simply no one.


    A thousand, ten thousand going in, it was also seeking doom.


    Hence, banding up together first was indeed a pretty good option.


    ��Since everyone doesn��t have objections, then let��s set off together ten days later, and enter the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.�� Gu Tianque gave the final word.


    After discussing, the group of True God powerhouses all dispersed. But Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s city lord, Ji Xun, stayed behind alone.


    ��Mn? Brother Ji looking for me, could there be something?�� Gu Tianque pretended to be uncertain as he said.,


    Ji Xun secretly cursed sly old fox and said with a smile, ��Huhu, old pal, my Heavenly Water Imperial Capital and your Thousand Soar Imperial Capital have always been of the same breath and branch. That good-for-nothing disciple of mine, Zhuo Han, has admired Lass Qiuling for a long time already. You think. Shouldn��t us, these elders, bring a romance to a happy ending?��


    Gu Tianque chuckled when he heard that and said, ��The matters of youngsters, leave it to them to worry about it. You also know this disciple of mine, who she wants to choose as a Dao companion, that��s not what I can persuade.��


    Finished talking, Gu Tianque immediately left and did not seem to have the intention of continuing to chat.


    Ji Xun��s brows furrowed, not understanding what medicine this Gu Tianque was selling in his gourd.


    In the past, Gu Tianque was still rather keen about Zhuo Han and Leng Qiuling��s affairs, even though Leng Qiuling��s attitude had always been uninterested.


    But now, even Gu Tianque this old fellow did not seem willing anymore.


    ��


    As Ji Xun��s favorite disciple, Zhuo Han naturally came along to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital too.


    In reality, the True God powerhouses that came this time, quite a few brought along their juniors


    A massive lucky chance like an Empyrean inheritance, even if they all, these disciples, obtained a tiny bit, it was also endlessly beneficial.


    Moreover, the Immortal Grove Abode this time, it was already confirmed that only Celestial Deity Realm and below powerhouses could enter.


    But at this time, Zhuo Han already entered Thousand Soar Mansion himself.


    ��This junior apprentice brother, I wonder if Junior Apprentice Sister Leng Qiuling is in Thousand Soar Mansion?�� Zhuo Han had a refined and courteous appearance, but his words exuded haughtiness.


    That Thousand Soar Mansion disciple sized him up and said, ��Who are you? The Thousand Soar Mansion doesn��t allow any random person to come in.��


    Zhuo Han smiled and said, ��I��m Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s Zhuo Han. Junior Apprentice Sister Leng is precisely this Zhuo��s fianc��e. In fact, I��m not considered an outsider.��


    Zhuo Han deliberately increased his volume, like he was afraid that people did not know him.


    That disciple was startled when he heard that and said, ��Turns out that it��s Senior Apprentice Brother Zhuo, apologies, apologies! Senior Apprentice Sister Leng is currently at the practicing field, I��ll bring you over.��


    Zhuo Han��s fame in imperial capitals was still very resounding, this disciple had clearly heard before.


    Furthermore, the rumors about Zhuo Han and Leng Qiuling were not some secret in Thousand Soar Mansion. It seemed like City Lord His Excellency had the intention of matchmaking the two.


    This disciple naturally did not dare to slight him.


    ��It turns out that he��s Zhuo Han. Indeed worthy of being Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s number one genius, to actually be able to catch up to Senior Apprentice Sister Leng��s cultivation speed.��


    ��Yeah! Heard that the Manor Lord intends to matchmake the two, they are really a match made in heaven!��


    ��However, Senior Apprentice Sister Leng recently got rather close with a boy called Ye Yuan, this is really seldom-seen.��


    ��Hey, that punk is merely a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, how can he be worthy of Senior Apprentice Sister Leng?��


    ��


    When Zhuo Han heard the surrounding disciples�� discussions, he originally enjoyed it greatly. But when he heard Ye Yuan this name, his expression suddenly changed.


    This name was simply his nightmare.


    Even if several hundred years had gone by, it was still fresh in his memory too.


    Of course, he hated Ye Yuan to the bones too, and he had long wanted to find Ye Yuan to settle the scores. But, Ye Yuan had never been heard of after he left the Heavenspan Mountain. hence, this plan also reached a deadlock.


    He did not expect that he heard this name once more today.


    ��Could it be that �� this Ye Yuan is that punk on the Heavenspan Mountain? Impossible! That person just now said that he��s Second Firmament Celestial Deity! With that punk��s talent, it��s impossible to cultivate so quickly!��


    Very soon, Zhuo Han dismissed this thought.


    He and Leng Qiuling were the same, both feeling that this Ye Yuan was not that Ye Yuan.


    Following that disciple, Zhuo Han came to the practicing field. Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciples were currently sparring, while Leng Qiuling was currently watching the fights by the side.


    Upon seeing Leng Qiuling, Zhuo Han��s two eyes immediately lit up and he said in a clear voice, ��Junior Apprentice Sister Leng, not seeing for many years, you��re indeed still so breathtakingly beautiful!��


    Leng Qiuling turned her head. Seeing Zhuo Han, her brows immediately knitted together.


    This guy really lingered on like a haunting ghost!


    ��This place is Thousand Soar Mansion. What are you here for?�� Leng Qiuling said coldly.


    But Zhuo Han did not mind and said smilingly, ��Look at what Junior Apprentice Sister Leng is saying. I��m here to see my future wife, is there a problem?��


    The moment these words came out, the surroundings immediately burst into an uproar, all guessing this young man��s identity.


    But Leng Qiuling��s gaze turned cold and she said frostily, ��Keep talking nonsense and be careful that I won��t be courteous toward you! Now, immediately disappear for me!��


    Zhuo Han laughed and said, ��Why does Junior Apprentice Sister Leng have to be like this? Master he already went to bring up the proposal of marriage for me. You and I will tie the nuptial knot sooner or later.��


    Leng Qiuling��s expression became colder and colder, practically about to condense into ice.


    ��Huhu, so many years of not seeing, Young Master Zhuo is still so shameless! Haven��t even checked your Eight Characters yet and you��re putting up a front here, be careful that it will be hard to wind up the matter[1]!��


    Right at this time, a figure appeared beside Leng Qiuling.


    Zhuo Han focused his eyes and looked, and immediately flew into a rage!


    [1] It��s common in Chinese culture to do fengshui fortune telling before marriage to check whether you and potential spouse��s Eight Characters match.

 Chapter 1858 - You Have No Chance

    ��Ye Yuan! It��s really you! Today, you won��t be so lucky. I��ll see who can still save you!��


    When Zhuo Han saw Ye Yuan, anger immediately rose up in his heart.


    But he was also extremely shocked in his heart. Not seeing him for several hundred years, Ye Yuan actually reached peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity like flying.


    This cultivation speed was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to him!


    Was this guy still that trash who could even break through to the Divine Lord Realm?


    One had to know, back then when he saw Ye Yuan, he was just a grand completion Origin Deity.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han and said smilingly, ��Don��t need anyone to save me. Dealing with you, do I still need others?��


    The moment Zhuo Han heard this, he could not help laughing loudly and said, ��A measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity also dares to engage in wild talk! Today, I��m going to beat you until you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!��


    Upon recalling that someone said just now that Leng Qiuling and Ye Yuan were very close, Zhuo Han could not help overflowing with jealousy. Old grudge and new hatred welled up together in his heart.


    Leng Qiuling��s face turned cold and she said, ��Zhuo Han, this place is Thousand Soar Mansion, not Heavenly Water Imperial Capital. It��s not your turn to be unbridled!��


    Zhuo Han could not help choking when he heard that. Leng Qiuling��s protective attitude triggered his jealousy even more.


    Zhuo Han looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Hiding behind a woman��s back again? This place just happens to be the practicing field. If you��re a man, step forward and compete with me. Let Qiuling take a look at who��s her man!��


    Leng Qiuling��s face got colder and colder. This Zhuo Han was really too insolent, to actually say such things.


    She did not have any feelings toward him. Yet, his face was extremely thick, viewing her as his exclusive chunk of meat.


    ��Zhuo Han, on the account that you��re a guest, I��ve already exercised forbearance with you time and again! Keep talking nonsense and I won��t be courteous!�� Leng Qiuling said.


    Zhuo Han was still unmoved. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said with a cold smile, ��Gutless coward, trash who only knows how to hide behind women!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Putting aside whether I��m a gutless coward or not, the thickness of your skin, I��m ashamed of my inferiority!��


    Zhuo Han sneered and said, ��Manor Lord Gu is very approving of my and Qiuling��s matters. Now that Master has gone to him to propose a marriage alliance, this wedding is already more than half succeeded, how is my skin thick?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Is that so? Then do you know why I��m not a Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciple but can go in and out of this place any time? Then do you know Qiuling and I are practically together from morning to night these few years? You have no chance.��


    Zhuo Han��s face could not help changing when he heard that. He still thought that Ye Yuan was a Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciple. Zhuo Han did not expect that he actually was not.


    Leng Qiuling��s icy-cold face had a rare hint of blush.


    Actually, she and Ye Yuan were both clear that Gu Tianque was indeed creating conditions to let the two of them get close.


    Ye Yuan��s mysterious identity had long been recognized by Gu Tianque. Otherwise, he also would not stop for three days and not move because of a sentence from Ye Yuan.


    But between them, one was cold as frost, while the other was not in the mood for romance. There had not been any progress all along.


    Leng Qiuling naturally knew that Ye Yuan was helping her out of her predicament, so she did not say anything and just tacitly approved of it.


    When Zhuo Han saw this scene, a hint of foreboding premonition arose in his heart.


    But he did not believe it at all!


    Gu Tianque had always viewed him favorably. It was impossible for him to change his tune.


    Coupled with his illustrious identity, he and Leng Qiuling were well-matched in status.


    ��Who the hell do you think you are? A mere Second Firmament Celestial Deity is also worthy of Qiuling? If you have the capability, step forward like a man and compete with me.��


    Zhuo Han saw that Ye Yuan was only a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. He was certain that he did not dare to accept the challenge at all, repeatedly using those words to squeeze Ye Yuan.


    The surrounding Thousand Soar Mansion disciples also all revealed disdainful looks, feeling that Ye Yuan was too unmanly.


    Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling traveled as a couple all the time. All the disciples had long found it displeasing to their eyes.


    Leng Qiuling was the goddess in their hearts, beautiful and also highly talented, but she was followed around every day by a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. They felt that it was very offensive to the eye.


    In their hearts, only Zhuo Han, this kind of background, could match up to Leng Qiuling.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Qiuling, let��s go, let this mad dog bark here. I believe that very soon, he��ll know that he had no chance long ago.��


    Leng Qiuling nodded her head, turned around, and was about to leave with Ye Yuan.


    She frequently sparred with Ye Yuan these few years and naturally knew that it was not that Ye Yuan did not dare, he was just disdainful.


    Zhuo Han was only an initial-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity. He was not Ye Yuan��s match at all.


    Speaking of which, Zhuo Han��s talent was actually not beneath Leng Qiuling��s. But precisely because Ye Yuan caused trouble on the Heavenspan Mountain, it made Zhuo Han delay his cultivation.


    Seeing that Leng Qiuling was so obedient, Zhuo Han��s fire of jealousy was practically going to burst through the barriers.


    He blocked the two people��s path with a flash. He looked at Ye Yuan angrily as he said, ��Somebody who gave birth to, but nobody to raise. You��d best stay further away from Qiuling for me. Otherwise, I��ll make you regret being born in this world. You don��t take a piss and look at the reflection too, see who the hell you are! Snatching women with me, are you worthy?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze gradually became icy-cold. He originally did not want to stoop to Zhuo Han��s level. But this guy did not have any knowledge of his limits at all. His mouth was really asking for a beating!


    Only to see his figure move, arriving at the center of the martial practicing field, and say in a cold voice, ��Didn��t you want to make me accept your challenge like a man? Fine, I��ll fulfill your wish!��


    Seeing this scene, Zhuo Han was not alarmed, but rejoiced instead, and said with a big laugh, ��Hahaha, that��s more like a man! You rest assured. I��ll teach you how to behave yourself properly!��


    Leng Qiuling heaved a slight sigh in her heart. What was called seeking one��s doom was like Zhuo Han, right?


    Zhuo Han��s figure moved, arriving before Ye Yuan, and he said with a big laugh, ��Honestly speaking, for you to be able to cultivate to the Celestial Deity Realm, it really exceeded my expectations. But �� ants are ants in the end. You��ll never be able to understand what��s called a genius!��


    Swoosh!


    Zhuo Han��s voice had yet to fade and Ye Yuan��s entire person already vanished.


    He already successfully had his fury stoked up by Zhuo Han and could not be bothered to talk rubbish with him at all.


    Zhuo Han did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all and was caught off-guard by this sudden turn of events.


    Smack!


    A clear slap echoed out, Zhuo Han��s entire person was slapped flying out.


    ��This is a so-called genius? Less than even an ant! Not much strength, but spew mouthfuls of shit,�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Everyone was astounded. Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciples had never seen Ye Yuan make a move before and had always been very disdainful towards him.


    However, the moment Ye Yuan made his move, it astonished all of them.


    Zhuo Han was slapped silly by Ye Yuan��s slap and only came back to his senses after a while. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he said with a furious roar, ��Despicable villain, to actually sneak attack! Today, I must tear you to shreds!��


    Zhuo Han��s words made quite a few people secretly nod their heads.


    Although Ye Yuan��s move just now was stunning, it was still Zhuo Han who was too careless after all.


    A genuine frontal clash, Ye Yuan was definitely not a match.


    ��Is that so? Then this time, it��s your turn!�� Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han and said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan��s contemptuous smile deeply triggered Zhuo Han.


    It was only to see him grit his teeth. The world power of a First Firmament Celestial Deity gushed out frenziedly, and he rushed over toward Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 1859 - Naive

    Chapter 1859: Naive


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    On the stage, the collision sounds of streams of divine essence colliding came over. Everyone below the stage was dumbstruck with amazement.


    One-sided!


    Except, it was not the same as they expected. This match was completely one-sided toward Ye Yuan.


    Under Ye Yuan��s strange and unfathomable movement technique, Zhuo Han was being completely brutalized.


    ��Why �� Why is it like this?��


    ��Zhuo Han��s talent ranks at the top of the list among the various major imperial capitals too. He��s actually being abused by a Second Firmament Celestial Deity.��


    ��No wonder Senior Apprentice Sister Leng goes places together with him as a couple. It turns out that it��s like this!��


    ��


    Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciples were all incredibly shocked. They totally did not expect that the Ye Yuan who they normally looked down on, his strength was actually so formidable.


    The Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Zhuo Han was being abused promptly, without any ambiguousness at all.


    If one said that previously it was Ye Yuan��s sneak attack succeeding, then right now, Ye Yuan was completely crushing with strength.


    No flashiness at all!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan stomped on Zhuo Han��s chest with a foot, trampling him onto the ground. He said disdainfully, ��Weren��t you going to teach me how to behave? Just based on your bit of strength? Without sufficient strength, you also dare to learn to look down on the world from others, and view others as ants? Who gave you the courage?��


    The shock in Zhuo Han��s heart could not use words to describe.


    Several hundred years ago, when he and Ye Yuan first met, he could crush the other party with just one hand.


    But by relying on his talent, not only did this gap not widen several hundred years later, Ye Yuan caught up from behind instead and surpassed him!


    This guy actually fused spatial law and Sword Dao law, his combat power off the charts.


    Zhuo Han��s pride as a genius was utterly crushed into pieces by this foot.


    ��Let go of me, you ignorant fool! When my master learns of this, he��ll definitely waste your cultivation and make you never have a chance to rise again!�� Zhuo Han gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan��s face turned cold and he said with a cold smile, ��Can��t beat yourself, so you bring your master out? However, your threat is really very foolish!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan lightly tapped toward Zhuo Han��s divine sea with a finger.


    Zhuo Han��s pupils constricted, having a look of despair on his face.


    But right at this time, a feeling of incredible danger suddenly descended.


    ��Lad, you dare?!��


    True God powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan felt the other party��s strength straight away. His body was virtually frozen by this powerful pressure, unable to move at all.


    Although his foot was still stepping on Zhuo Han��s body, this foot could not be stomped down at all.


    A late-stage True God powerhouse was too powerful!


    However, he was Ye Yuan!


    He was the Ye Yuan who grasped spatial law!


    Even a True God powerhouse��s comprehension in terms of spatial law might not be stronger than him too.


    This killing intent was too piercingly cold, there was no way Ye Yuan would resign himself to death.


    Feeling this powerful pressure, Zhuo Han��s two eyes lit up. He said in pleasant surprise, ��Master!��


    However, Leng Qiuling��s face changed drastically. Wanting to take action was already too late.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, his figure suddenly disappearing!


    What vanished together with him was also Zhuo Han.


    A figure stepped out of the void and looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise and anger.


    ��Spatial shift! Terrific lad!��


    The arrival was none other than precisely Zhuo Han��s master, Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s master, Ji Xun.


    ��Puhwark!��


    At the critical moment, even though Ye Yuan avoided Ji Xun��s certain-kill strike, he also suffered heavy injuries.


    The might of a True God was no joke.


    If it were others, they would have long been crushed into minced meat by the world power.


    Currently, Ye Yuan��s palm was pressed on the center of Zhuo Han��s back. As long as divine essence spat out, it could wreck his life force.


    The reason why he wanted to bring Zhuo Han to shift together was to capture a hostage.


    Otherwise, the power of a True God, even if he unexpectedly avoided the first attack, Ji Xun��s second strike would be sufficient to cause death too.


    And he did not have the leeway to resist at all.


    ��Master, s-save me!�� Sensing Ye Yuan��s divine essence wreaking havoc within his body, Zhuo Han was frightened to the extreme in his heart.


    Ji Xun��s face fell and he looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��Let go of Han-er. I��ll leave you an intact corpse!��


    Ye Yuan laughed from extreme fury and said, ��Indeed worthy of being master and apprentice, both equally stupid! You already want to kill me, would I let him go? Do you think that I��m as mentally addled as you? Don��t move. You can try if you��re faster or I��m quicker!��


    Sensing Ji Xun��s divine essence undulation, Ye Yuan immediately warned the other party.


    Ji Xun��s face turned black and he said, ��If you dare to touch a single strand of hair of Han-er, I��ll definitely make you regret coming into this world!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Is that so?��


    As he said, Ye Yuan spat divine essence. Zhuo Han immediately spewed out a large mouthful of blood, his entire person becoming dispirited and inert.


    Ye Yuan dealt his blow very aptly, directly making Zhuo Han lose his ability to resist, but did not kill him too. This was enough to frighten Ji Xun.


    Ji Xun��s face changed, aware that he ran into a ruthless character. How could he still dare to act rashly without careful thought?


    ��Kid, let him go. We can settle things through discussion!�� Ji Xun finally lowered his proud head and compromised with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��What��s there to discuss? You want to scam me to leave Zhuo Han, then kill me at the first moment? I have to admit, although you��re at a ripe old age, you��re still very naive!��


    Ji Xun��s face became black as the bottom of a wok. He discovered that this kid was too sharp. His disciple compared to him was simply a weakling.


    The moment he opened his mouth, he knew what he wanted to do.


    ��What the hell do you want?�� Ji Xun said with a dark expression.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Wait!��


    Finished saying this word, Ye Yuan shut his eyes and stopped talking.


    Ji Xun was taken aback, not knowing what Ye Yuan��s words meant.


    But very soon, he understood. Another extremely strong aura arrived with a howl.


    ��Ji Xun, you��re also looking down on my Thousand Soar Imperial Capital too much! An exalted Thousand Soar Imperial Capital powerhouse actually bullied a Celestial Deity Realm junior. Do you still want face or not?!��


    The person had yet to arrive, but the voice arrived first.


    Gu Tianque��s words were full of rage.


    He did not expect that in a blink of an eye, such a major incident actually happened in the Thousand Soar Mansion.


    Ji Xun��s brows furrowed and he said, ��This boy nearly crippled Han-er, could there be something wrong for me to want to kill him?��


    Gu Tianque��s gaze looked towards Ye Yuan, a probing look on his face.


    Ye Yuan briefly recounted the matters earlier, Gu Tianque glared and said, ��You heard it?��


    ��M-Master, you have to stand up for me!�� Zhuo Han said feebly.


    Seeing Gu Tianque��s attitude toward Ye Yuan, Ji Xun seemed to have understood something, his expression rather ugly.


    Sure enough, Gu Tianque snorted coldly and said, ��Zhuo Han, give up! You and Leng Qiuling, it is impossible! Also, after this incident, the two of you master and apprentice are not allowed to step foot in Thousand Soar Mansion again!��


    Zhuo Han��s pupils constricted when he heard that, looking at Gu Tianque in disbelief, a doubtful look on his face.


    He could not figure out why Gu Tianque��s attitude would unexpectedly have a 180 degrees turnaround.


    Suddenly, he recalled the words Ye Yuan said.


    It turned out that �� this time it was not Ye Yuan being Leng Qiuling��s shield anymore.


    Gu Tianque really had the intention of matchmaking the two of them!


    It was laughable. He was still posing as Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s son-in-law previously in front of the Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciples.

 Chapter 1860 - : Xu Xing

    ��This �� Uncle Gu ����


    ��Shut up! Who��s your uncle, shameless thing! In the past, I saw that you still looked decent, but I didn��t expect that you were actually so shameless! I only agreed to let you and Qiuling come into contact. So when did I acknowledge your marriage? You recklessly cooked up a rumor in my Thousand Soar Mansion. Do you still have any respect for me, this city lord?��


    Gu Tianque was boiling with rage and also filled with endless fear after the incident at the same time.


    If Ye Yuan died at Ji Xun��s hands, the entire Thousand Soar Imperial Capital might have to suffer an apocalyptic calamity!


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan was different from ordinary people and actually escaped with his life from under Ji Xun��s hands. This also greatly surprised him.


    However, toward Zhuo Han who he still regarded as decent in the past, he was no longer satisfied no matter which angle he looked at him anymore.


    Seeing Gu Tianque��s enraged appearance, Zhuo Han��s face was akin to dead ashes.


    ��Ji Xun, what are you still stoning for? Hurry up and bring this useless apprentice of yours and scram for me!�� Gu Tianque said in a deep voice.


    Ji Xun��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��Gu Tianque, you fell out with me for a kid still wet behind his ears. Is there really this need?��


    Gu Tianque sneered and said, ��Ye Yuan is my savior. Do you think I have this need or not?��


    Ji Xun��s expression changed, looking at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly.


    Following this, he nodded his head and said, ��Fine, I got it. But today��s matter isn��t over! Kid, I hope that you don��t land in my hands! Han-er, let��s go!��


    Finished saying, Ji Xun swept his sleeves grandly and took Zhuo Han away from Ye Yuan��s hands.


    The moment Ji Xun left, Ye Yuan��s two eyes saw black, and then he fell to the ground.


    Facing Ji Xun, this level of True God powerhouse, Ye Yuan did not dare to slack off in the slightest. At this time, he finally could not hold on anymore.


    ��


    Ten day��s time passed in a blink. On this day, countless powerhouses gathered outside of Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    The allure of an Empyrean inheritance was seriously too great.


    Even if they knew that there was huge danger, there were also countless people who were willing to fly into the fire like moths.


    And among these powerhouses, it was clearly the Thousand Soar Alliance��s strength that was the greatest.


    A True God powerhouse said, ��Brother Gu, the hour is almost reaching, let��s enter the mountain!��


    Gu Tianque nodded and said, ��Come on.��


    ��Hang on!�� Right at this time, two figures descended from the sky.


    When the group of True God powerhouses saw the arrivals, their faces could not help changing and they bowed in salute as he said, ��We pay respects to Lord Ji Kang!��


    The aura of that True God powerhouse in the front was astonishing, it was actually a peak True God Realm powerhouse.


    It was only to see him nodded and said, ��Such a grand event, my Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital naturally has to join in too. Xu Xing, why haven��t you paid respects to the various uncles?��


    Behind Ji Kang, a handsome young man clasped his hands and said, ��This lowly nephew, Xu Xing, pays respect to uncles.��


    ��So, you��re Xu Xing. Huhu, truly, heroes come from youngsters!��


    ��I have long heard that an extraordinary talent appeared in Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital, fused together three kinds of power of laws, his strength extremely formidable! Meeting today, indeed lives up to the reputation!��


    The group of True God powerhouses actually took the initiative to flatter a Celestial Deity Realm junior. This also made the surrounding powerhouses all tongue-tied.


    However, hearing them say so, these people were all incredibly shocked.


    To geniuses, there were plenty who comprehended two, even three kinds of power of laws.


    But, those able to fuse two kinds of power of laws were in the minority, let alone fusing three kinds of power of laws.


    Those able to fuse three kinds of power of laws were undoubtedly all peerless geniuses that were one in ten thousand!


    Xu Xing had a proud look, accepting the group of powerhouses�� compliments without misgivings.


    Clearly, he had long gotten accustomed to this scene.


    ��Zhuo Han has long admired Brother Xu��s great name. Upon seeing today, it��s sufficient to have no regrets for three lifetimes!�� Zhuo Han was unwilling to be left in the cold and went forward to flatter.


    Xu Xing gave him a glance and said calmly, ��So, you��re Zhuo Han. I��ve heard of you before. Beneath imperial capitals, your talent is first-rate.��


    Zhuo Han was pleasantly surprised and said, ��Brother Xu has actually heard of me before. Zhuo Han is really overwhelmed by flattery and honor!��


    Xu Xing said coolly, ��But I��ve heard before that among imperial capitals, there��s still a proud daughter of heaven Leng Qiuling, whose talent is above yours. I wonder who that is?��


    Leng Qiuling did not expect that Xu Xing would call upon her and stepped forward rather unwillingly. Greeting with folded hands at the lower right side, she said, ��This lowly one, Leng Qiuling, pays respect to Sir Xu.��


    When Xu Xing saw Leng Qiuling, his eyes could not help lighting up. His face finally revealed a trace of a smile and said with a nod, ��I really didn��t expect that Miss Leng actually has such unparalleled looks! Miss Leng, the journey of Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, you��re the host and have to take good care of me!��


    Leng Qiuling��s brows furrowed and said, ��Dare not. This trip, I still have to look to uncles for more support.��


    The moment people with discerning eyes saw, they knew that this Xu Xing took fancy on Leng Qiuling.


    Ji Kang was also smiling and not saying anything at one side. Xu Xing��s horizons were extremely high. The girls pursuing him in Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital were plentiful like carps moving down a stream, but he did not take fancy on anyone.


    He did not expect that he found someone pleasing to the eye here.


    By the side, when Zhuo Han saw this scene, he secretly gloated in others�� misfortune in his heart.


    It was already impossible for him to obtain Leng Qiuling. But with Xu Xing charging out halfway now, he wanted to see what Ye Yuan had to compete with the other person!


    To talk about this Xu Xing, he was indeed a peerless genius.


    His age was similar to theirs, but he was already peak Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    More importantly, he even fused three kinds of power of laws, his combat power extremely strong!


    Although Zhuo Han��s talent was extremely high, compared to him, he indeed paled considerably in comparison.


    He indeed had the capital to be proud of.


    Ji Kang smiled and said, ��Huhu, you��re all outstanding talents among the young generation, your future accomplishments immeasurable. You should naturally get closer.��


    With Ji Kang speaking, the others naturally nodded their heads and agreed.


    People that came from great imperial capitals, they could not afford to provoke.


    Just like this, a group of True God powerhouses suppressed their realms to Celestial Deity Realm and stepped into the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, a familiar feeling hit him head-on.


    That feeling was as if �� he returned to the Immortal Grove World.


    Previously, the Thousand Soar Alliance carried out a lockdown on the entire Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. But following their entry, other powerhouses also entered the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range one after another.


    Currently, heads could be said to be swarming in Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.


    ��This array formation is very similar to the Four Symbols Family Clans�� grand array!�� Ye Yuan and Dustless communicated.


    Dustless nodded and said, ��The Four Symbols Divine Beasts forming an array, the power is sufficient to eradicate a major realm powerhouse! Immortal Grove laid down a matchless grand array in the entire Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. Annihilating Empyrean powerhouses is akin to child��s play!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��With so many powerhouses entering, it��s likely that a single misstep and it will trigger the grand array!��


    Dustless smiled and said, ��These fools even thought that Immortal Grove would leave behind his Dao teachings for them. They are thinking too much!��


    Ye Yuan could not help smiling when he heard that.


    The party gradually went deep in. Suddenly, a series of screams came over.


    A cluster of fire rose to the sky. More than a dozen powerhouses were instantly burned to ashes.


    Ji Kang��s face changed and he cussed angrily, ��This bunch of fools activated the Immortal Wind Heavenly Fire Array of the Four Symbols Grand Array! Once the heavenly fire is triggered, it vows to immolate everything! Everybody, quickly run!��

 Chapter 1861 - Who Is Brother With You?

    The fire spread rapidly and was practically going to immolate the entire space.


    For a moment, wails of doom filled the lands.


    Under such power, even True God powerhouses were hard-pressed to escape death too.


    ��Junior Apprentice Sister, follow me. I��ll bring you out.��


    Xu Xing flashed a confident smile at Leng Qiuling and was about to hold her hand.


    Leng Qiuling��s face changed, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back.


    Xu Xing��s hand froze there, his expression seemingly rather embarrassed, and he said with a smile, ��Follow me closely. Don��t get lost.��


    Finished saying, Xu Xing��s figure moved, speeding toward the depths of the mountain range.


    Luckily, Thousand Soar Alliance��s people ran fast and escaped the core region of the grand array very quickly.


    But the danger was not far away.


    Even if right now was at the border region, a large cluster of flames would also rush out from time to time, reaping the lives of a group of powerhouses.


    The strength of those True God powerhouses was formidable, but they were also delayed by those powerful lames.


    As for Xu Xing they all, these juniors, could only band together.


    But along the way, with Xu Xing leading a group of disciples to blaze a trail, it was very smooth sailing.


    But he discovered that a young man followed by Leng Qiuling��s side from start to end, and his brows could not help furrowing.


    ��Boy, you don��t seem to be a Thousand Soar Mansion��s disciple, right? Get lost, our team doesn��t bring along good-for-nothings!�� Xu Xing said unhappily.


    In his view, Ye Yuan, this Second Firmament Celestial Deity, saw that their squad was powerful, and sought their protection.


    How could he allow this sort of thing?


    Leng Qiuling spoke up, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu, Ye Yuan is my friend.��


    Xu Xing��s expression was rather awkward as he said with a smile, ��So, it��s Junior Apprentice Sister Leng��s friend, then that��s alright. But let��s get the unpleasant things out of the way first. People who don��t contribute, don��t think about getting any benefits!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    At this time, the Zhuo Han in the squad suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Huhu, not just being friends that simple, right? I heard that City Lord Gu has the intention of matchmaking Junior Apprentice Sister Leng and Ye Yuan! Junior Apprentice Sister Leng, congratulations to you!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed.


    Those present were all young heroes. The weakest in strength was also peak Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Could a measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity be worthy of Leng Qiuling?


    More importantly, there was an additional Xu Xing now!


    Xu Xing was also taken aback, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan had additional thick enmity.


    Seeing this scene, Zhuo Han secretly felt great in his heart.


    He knew that just this one sentence was enough.


    Leng Qiuling��s brows furrowed, her gaze when looking at Zhuo Han was icy-cold.


    How could Zhuo Han not feel it? But he already did not care anymore.


    Forget that there was Ye Yuan, even if there was no Ye Yuan, it also had nothing to do with him anymore now.


    Competing with Xu Xing?


    That was looking for death!


    Xu Xing did not want to lose his bearing in front of Leng Qiuling and only said indifferently, ��Oh? To be able to be viewed favorably by City Lord Gu, looks like this Brother Ye is bound to have areas surpassing others! Later, this Xu would like to spar.��


    But one sentence and the smell of gunpowder already became strong.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Who is brother with you? Are you worthy?��


    Everyone was stunned, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so unyielding.


    Xu Xing was also taken aback. He thought that Ye Yuan would beat a retreat in the face of difficulties after hearing his words. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually showed such little regard for his face.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not give him face. He did not have any improper thoughts toward Leng Qiuling, but these guys insisted on treating him as an imaginary foe.


    The most important thing was that this Xu Xing was a hypocrite who posed as someone of high morals with one look.


    Saw that his realm was low and wanted to drive him out of the team.


    Actually, if not in order to protect Leng Qiuling, he would not be bothered to travel together with these people.


    Yet, this Xu Xing was self-righteous and felt that Ye Yuan was benefiting from association with him.


    Xu Xing��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Refusing face when given! Since that��s the case, then you have no need to follow our squad anymore too. After all, we don��t know each other.��


    Leng Qiuling��s brows furrowed and she said, ��Ye Yuan is my Thousand Soar Imperial Capital��s guest. If he isn��t in this team, then I��ll leave too.��


    Xu Xing��s face changed, immediately overflowing with jealousy.


    He did not expect that Leng Qiuling actually had just little regard for his face, and was actually put in a dilemma for a moment.


    ��Humph! I��ll give Junior Apprentice Sister Leng face. Today��s matter, this Xu remembered it!�� Xu Xing said with a cold snort.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, a violent fire wave attacked. Everyone turned pale with fright.


    ��Xu Xing, this wave of fire is too strong. You guys take care of yourselves! Remember, don��t split up!�� Ji Kang��s voice came over at this time.


    ��Got it, Elder Ji!�� Xu Xing said in a clear voice.


    Finished talking, he turned to everyone again and said, ��Everybody, we��ll join hands for this wave of fire, all heed my command! Junior Apprentice Sister Leng, you hide behind me.��


    Xu Xing had a righteous appearance that was unflinching in the face of death as if everything was within control.


    Leng Qiuling originally did not want to answer, but seeing Ye Yuan wink at her, only then, did she retreat.


    ��Ahh, ahhh, ahhh ���� Another series of screams came over. Some weaker martial artists were still burned to death or seriously injured.


    ��Ye Yuan, right now is the juncture of life and death, could it be that you plan on hiding at the back like a girl?�� When Xu Xing saw that Ye Yuan also shrinked back at the back, he could not resist saying in a cold voice.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You all are powerful, I��m just a rookie. It��s safer to hide at the back.��


    The words incurred numerous scornful looks.


    These young heroes all felt that this Ye Yuan was simply too shameless.


    However, they already had no time to be scornful of Ye Yuan.


    ��Everyone listens to the command. Use your strongest attacks and meet the fire wave! Release!�� Xu Xing gave a fierce cry, his long sword suddenly attacking.


    A sword emerging, it was akin to a rainbow cutting across the sky, welcoming that wave of fire.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Multicolored divine essence undulations revolved around inside the mountain range, meeting the blazing fire in unison.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Even though these were all distinguished folks among the junior generation, the Immortal Wind Grand Array was seriously too strong. The enormous shock wave knocked their bodies flying backward, fresh blood spewing wildly.


    Xu Xing��s entire person appeared somewhat wretched, the clothing on his body was also significantly scorched.


    However, the flames only paused slightly for a moment and staged a comeback.


    Xu Xing��s face changed and he roared to the back, ��Everyone quickly run! These flames are unstoppable!��


    As he said, how could he still care about Leng Qiuling, turning tail and running?


    Bang!


    The flames immediately burned a large area, screams echoed out together.


    Quite a number of young heroes did not have time to escape and were directly devoured by the large fire.


    Xu Xing and the group of geniuses covered their heads and scurried away. No idea how long they fled either, finally escaping the engulfment of the flames.


    But the moment he turned his head back, Xu Xing discovered that Leng Qiuling��s traces were long gone, and his expression could not help changing.


    ��Zhuo Han, you saw Junior Apprentice Sister Leng?�� Xu Xing looked at the extremely wretched Zhuo Han and asked in a solemn voice.


    Zhuo Han still had not caught his breath until now. Seeing Xu Xing inquire, he could not help shaking his head and said, ��D-Didn��t see! Everyone was all fleeing on their own, how could I care about her?��


    Xu Xing��s brows furrowed. Straining his eyes and looking into the distance, he discovered that the road when they came was long already engulfed by the large fire, becoming a sea of fire.

 Chapter 1862 - Door of Four Symbols

    A young hero said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu, just now, in the mayhem, I seem to have seen Junior Apprentice Sister Leng and that Ye Yuan get engulfed by the flames!��


    Just now, a large wave of fire pounced over, engulfing many people all at once.


    Leng Qiuling dying inside was nothing strange.


    ��Damn it!��


    Seeing that vast expanse of fire sea behind him, Xu Xing was extremely remorseful and angry. He finally managed to take fancy on a woman and she was actually burned to death just like this.


    But Zhuo Han had an excited look because he heard that Ye Yuan was dead too.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu doesn��t need to be like this. There are plenty of other fishes in the sea. Although that Leng Qiuling was quite good-looking, there are still some who can match up to Senior Apprentice Brother Xu with some difficulty.�� Zhuo Han urged him.


    Sure enough, the moment Xu Xing heard, his expression became much better and he switched to a regretful expression as he said with a nod, ��Be that as it may, with Junior Apprentice Sister Leng dying in the sea of fire, I��m still very upset!��


    Zhuo Han smiled and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu is indeed somebody who values sentiments, Zhuo Han admires!��


    ��Eh, you guys, look! There seem to be people walking inside that sea of fire!��


    Suddenly, a young man shouted.


    Everyone got a big shock and used doubting gazes to look over.


    It was fine if they did not look, but when they saw it, each and every one of them was shocked until their jaws hit the ground.


    Amidst the sea of fire, there were indeed two figures vaguely visible, coming over to their side.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Such a terrifying sea of fire, there are actually people who can move inside it.��


    ��Yeah, I saw it clearly just now, a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse was instantly burned to ashes, how can there possibly be people moving around inside it?��


    ��Hang on, this seems to be a male and female. They look rather familiar!��


    No need him to say, everyone already saw clearly. These two figures were precisely Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling!


    Ye Yuan held Leng Qiuling with one hand, disappearing and reappearing inside the sea of fire as if they would be engulfed at any time.


    But those violent flames were seemingly avoiding the two of them. They were very safe from beginning to end.


    Zhuo Han��s face almost became green, looking at this scene full of disbelief.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan leaped, bringing along Leng Qiuling and directly jumping out of the sea of fire.


    Naught a scratch!


    Everyone did not quite dare to believe their eyes. Inside such a berserk sea of fire, they could actually remain completely unscathed!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xu Xing and said with a look of amusement, ��This Senior Apprentice Brother Xu, didn��t you say that you wanted to protect Junior Apprentice Sister Leng earlier? Why did you run even faster than a rabbit?��


    Xu Xing��s expression choked up. He pledged in all solemnity just now with the appearance of a peerless hero, saying to protect Leng Qiuling.


    But when he fled, he completely did not even look at Leng Qiuling and ran faster than everyone else.


    ��Junior Apprentice Sister Leng, I ����


    Xu Xing was just about to explain, but heard Leng Qiuling say indifferently, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu��s body is priceless, how can you risk your life? Moreover, Senior Apprentice Brother Xu and I are neither kith nor kin, there��s also no need to stay behind to save me.��


    Toward Xu Xing, Leng Qiuling looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.


    Everyone said that a friend in need is a friend indeed, it was not false at all.


    Along the way, Xu Xing was always doing his best to please and woo. But when it really reached the critical moment, he was not reliable at all.


    Such a person was not worthy of undertaking any responsibility at all.


    Xu Xing they all retreated too suddenly, laying Leng Qiuling bare inside the sea of fire all of a sudden.


    Leng Qiuling was caught off-guard and almost lost her life in the sea of fire.


    At the eleventh hour, it was still Ye Yuan who stepped forward bravely and brought her out of the sea of fire.


    But towards Ye Yuan, Leng Qiuling was also extremely shocked in her heart.


    The surroundings were clearly all wildly dancing fire snakes, but they seemed to turn a blind eye to the two of them. She completely did not understand what happened.


    All in all, places where the fire snakes arrived at, wails of doom filled the lands. Yet, the two of them could stand aloof without paying attention to others. It was truly incomparably magical.


    Hearing Leng Qiuling said so, Xu Xing��s heart seemed to have been pricked.


    In so many years, Leng Qiuling was the first woman who moved him. He did not expect that in a blink of an eye, the two people��s relationship actually became like this.


    He used venomous eyes to look at Ye Yuan. He attributed this incident to Ye Yuan.


    ��


    Inside a valley ahead, a group of True God powerhouses had long already arrived.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over and discovered that these True God powerhouses were all carrying wounds from head to toe. Their numbers also reduced a little.


    Clearly, this Immortal Wind Heavenly Fire Grand Array��s power was extremely strong. Even True God powerhouses found it hard to avoid the outcome of death too.


    Currently, in the valley, apart from the Thousand Soar Alliance��s powerhouses, the other itinerant cultivators were all taking a rest on their own too.


    In truth, the itinerant powerhouses that came this time were several times of the Thousand Soar Alliance in terms of numbers. Among them also had quite a few True God level powerhouses.


    But in this place, no one dared to employ the strength of True God Realm at all. Otherwise, being annihilated was just a matter of an instant.


    Someone complained in the crowd, ��The Heavenly Sun Mountain Range is so big. We haven��t found the entrance to the abode yet and so many people already died! This place wouldn��t be a hoax, right?��


    ��Isn��t that so? This Four Symbols Grand Array is too terrifying. It��s simply purgatory on earth! It wouldn��t be that we couldn��t even find the entrance and we��d all be dead, right?


    Regardless of whether it was the Thousand Soar Alliance or those itinerant martial artists, the expression on everyone��s face was very ugly.


    Clearly, this was also what they were worried about.


    The Four Symbols Grand Array that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laid down was too terrifying, eradicating them was like playing.


    But so many people died and they had not even seen the entrance to the abode. So how could they not be depressed?


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, in the four directions of the valley, four stone doors rose up from the ground, making the earth quake.


    ��The key to open up the abode lies inside these four stone doors! Inside each stone door contains a drop of Empyrean-level Sour Symbols true blood. When you collect the four symbols true blood, you��ll be able to open this Empyrean��s abode, and obtain this Empyrean��s legacy!��


    A voice was akin to rolling thunder, making everyone��s faces wildly ecstatic.


    Empyrean-level Four Symbols true blood, that was a massive lucky chance!


    If one could obtain a drop of Empyrean-level Four Symbols true blood, even if they did not enter the abode, it was also sufficient to benefit for life.


    The crowd started seething with excitement once more.


    Especially Ji Kang, his two eyes were practically glowing.


    His realm had always been stuck at peak True God Realm and kept being unable to break through.


    He knew that he had already exhausted his potential and was completely unable to break through to the Empyrean Realm anymore.


    But, if let him obtain a drop of Empyrean-level Four Symbols true blood, then he might very likely break through to the Empyrean Realm!


    Swoosh!


    Virtually without the slightest hesitation, Ji Kang immediately rushed towards the stone door on the east side.


    That stone door was the Door of Azure Dragon.


    At this time, how was the Thousand Soar Alliance still useful? These True God powerhouses all moved swiftly, moving towards the four stone doors


    Whoever was a step slow, the lucky chance might be snatched away by others.


    ��Young Master Ye, which stone door are you planning to go?�� Leng Qiuling asked rather curiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Vermilion Bird true blood should be the bloodline most suited for you! Why don��t we enter the Door of Vermilion Bird?��


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan in surprise. Hearing the meaning in his words, if they obtained the Four Symbols true blood, he was actually going to give to her?


    ��This �� Young Master Ye, are you not planning on obtaining for the Four Symbols true blood?��Leng Qiuling asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Just Four Symbols true blood, also not something remarkable. Come on.��

 Chapter 1863 - Vice Fire

    In front of their eyes was a boundless desert. Under the blazing sun, the entire world was akin to a heating stove.


    Entering the Door of Vermilion Bird, it was quite a scene.


    ��This damn place, can��t see the end at a glance. Where can we even find the Vermilion Bird true blood?��


    ��Most likely, it��s deep in the desert. Don��t delay anymore. Keep delaying and others will beat us to it!��


    Upon hearing this, the crowd poured towards the depths of the desert-like tidewater.


    ��Ye Yuan, let��s set off too,�� Leng Qiuling said.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��More haste, less speed. It��s already so dangerous outside, so why would this desert not be dangerous at all?��


    Leng Qiuling��s face changed. In this boundless desert, she could not feel the slightest danger.


    It seemed that apart from being a little hot, there was nothing peculiar.


    ��This �� Then what should we do?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��You cultivate an ice-attribute cultivation method. So revolve your cultivation method and you��ll naturally be safe.��


    Leng Qiuling was not quite certain what it meant, but she still followed Ye Yuan��s instructions and did it.


    On Leng Qiuling��s body, cold air gradually grew. Her entire person seemed to be a lot colder too.


    After doing this, the two walked toward the depths of the desert unhurriedly.


    ��Heh, these two people are really doing unnecessary things, this place has no danger at all and they actually started revolving divine essence. When they really encounter danger, see what they use to face the enemy.��


    Seeing the divine essence on Leng Qiuling��s body, a series of mocking sounds immediately came over.


    In everyone��s view, this kind of action was undoubtedly very foolish.


    Constantly revolving one��s cultivation method would continue depleting the divine essence within the body. Once encountering a battle, one would not be able to deal with the enemy at their peak state.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    Right at this time, a scream suddenly came from the crowd ahead. Then, his entire person caught on fire.


    Everyone��s face changed, immediately retreating far away from that person.


    Very soon, that person on fire burned into nothingness, like he evaporated into thin air.


    Everyone��s faces changed one after another, not understanding what happened.


    He was perfectly fine, why did he suddenly catch on fire?


    Someone said in a panic, ��This �� What happened?��


    Just as everyone was anxious and doubtful, several more people right at the front suddenly caught on fire, then burned into nothingness.


    At this time, everyone finally knew that this was not some incidental event.


    Inside this desert, concealed dangers that they did not know.


    ��E-Everybody be careful! This fire is too formidable!��


    ��How the hell did that person burst into flames?��


    ��I �� I��m not playing anymore! I want to leave this place!��


    ��


    Several clusters of flames made everyone immediately become alert.


    Some people were even clamoring about wanting to leave.


    But they barely walked two steps when a cluster of flames shot straight out, burning them into nothingness.


    The group of powerhouses was dumbfounded with shock, completely unaware of what was going on.


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan rather amazedly. She felt that Ye Yuan making her revolve her cultivation method was likely in order to ward off this flame.


    But what in the world was this?


    Those powerhouses all did not dare to advance deep in anymore.


    But there was no use at all, there were still many people who were directly burned away by the flames.


    This way, Ye Yuan two people who were originally advancing slowly walked to the front ranks of the crowd instead.


    The two of their abnormal states immediately attracted quite a number of people��s attention.


    ��Why are the two of them fine?��


    ��Eh, the two of them have been constantly revolving their cultivation methods since entering this space! Previously, we were still mocking them all along, could it be that there��s something fishy going on?��


    ��I understand! This �� This is vice fire[1]!��


    The one who spoke was a True God powerhouse.


    Mentioning the name vice fire, that True God powerhouse��s own expression also changed drastically, and was in a state of disbelief for a while.


    Not just him, the other people��s faces similarly changed dramatically.


    ��Vice fire is born in heart, without the slightest omen! Its power is immense! Legends have it that vice fire can burn everything, turning into nothingness.��


    When Ye Yuan heard everyone��s surprised and bewildered voices, the corners of his mouth could not help smiling slightly.


    These people finally reacted to it.


    The Vermilion Bird was a divine beast of fire. Its attainment in the laws of flame was exceedingly deep.


    This vast expanse of desert was actually a sea of vice fire.


    Walking in this desert, one must maintain tranquility of the mind, rippleless like an old well.


    Otherwise, once the vice fire was evoked, one would be directly burned to death.


    Of course, Ye Yuan could not have known beforehand. But with Dustless around, this degree of trap naturally could not possibly affect him.


    In reality, ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, Ye Yuan felt like he had returned home.


    The extremely perilous land of danger to others was akin to flat ground for Ye Yuan.


    These people were all overly anxious for success, wanting to find the Vermilion Bird true blood as quickly as possible. It was naturally impossible to maintain a calm mind. Evoking vice fire was naturally something very normal.


    Discovering the oddity, these martial artists all strove to maintain tranquility of the mind. Sure enough, phenomenons of being burned by vice fire immediately fell drastically.


    However, things were not as simple as they imagined.


    As they continued going deeper, the temperature in the desert became higher and higher. Their state of mind also became more and more irritable. Hence, there were people who started to be burned to death by vice fire again.


    In the crowd, two gazes were staring fixedly at Ye Yuan all along.


    The older one among them opened his mouth and whispered, ��Heh, this kid is indeed rather capable, to actually be able to see through the vice fire in-advance. If not for him, the two of us master and apprentice might die here too.��


    The young man said, ��Master, I keep feeling that something is off about this Ye Yuan.��


    These two were Ji Xun and Zhuo Han, master and disciple.


    When the two of them saw Ye Yuan enter the Door of Vermilion Bird, they also followed closely behind and came in.


    The incident last time made Ji Xun very pent up with anger.


    Ever since entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, he had always been finding a chance to get Ye Yuan alone, wanting to kill him.


    Seeing Gu Tianque entered the Door of Black Tortoise, Ji Xun realized that the opportunity came. Hence, he followed Ye Yuan two people and entered the Door of Vermilion Bird.


    Originally, they wanted to immediately take action. But when he saw Ye Yuan make Leng Qiuling revolve her cultivation method, Ji Xun kept feeling that there was something fishy. Hence, he did not make a move all along.


    They followed far behind the crowd. When he saw people being burned to death by vice fire in front, Ji Xun immediately understood.


    Hearing Zhuo Han��s words, Ji Xun smiled and said, ��What you said is right, this boy is indeed rather different from the rest. Let��s not take action first. I feel that by following him, we might be able to have an unexpected harvest.��


    Seeing Zhuo Han��s unwilling look, Ji Xun continued, ��Han-er, rest assured. Your grudge, Master will definitely avenge it for you! When we find the Vermilion Bird true blood, it��s when Ye Yuan dies!��


    Time slowly trickled by, the crowd searched for as long as half a month in the desert, but did not have any harvests.


    Many people became more and more irritable. The people who were burned to death by vice fire also became more and more.


    ��Does this damn place have Vermilion Bird true blood or not! Goodness, no, I can��t get angry, can��t get agitated, maintain tranquility! Stay calm!��


    This person��s slapstick comedy immediately incurred a series of laughter.


    But very soon, these laughing sounds quietened down.


    Laughing would not do too.


    Suddenly, someone in the crowd pointed in front and shouted, ��You guys, look! What��s that?��


    [1] This vice fire is a bit hard to translate, it��s a fire used to punish sinners in hell. But in this context, it��s a fire that burns when your emotions stir.

 Chapter 1864 - Killing People on the Spot

    No need for him to remind, everyone saw it.


    Not far ahead, an oasis actually appeared.


    In the center of the oasis was an island. There was a stone table on the island and a box was placed on the stone table.


    ��Vermilion Bird true blood! It must be the Vermilion Bird true blood!��


    Everyone went berserk. How could they still care about other things, rushing over toward the oasis like crazy.


    ��The Vermilion Bird true blood is mine! Nobody is to snatch it!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��All scram further away for Your Father!��


    ��


    The scene that was originally still peaceful instantly lost control.


    The martial artists were all beside themselves with frenzy, fighting for that box.


    But very soon, those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists discovered to their dismay that that box was already being taken over by more than a dozen powerhouses. They could not go up at all.


    These dozen over powerhouses were all True God Realm powerhouses.


    Even though they suppressed their realms at the Celestial Deity Realm, their strength was not what ordinary Celestial Deity Realms could compare to.


    Their law comprehensions were much stronger than Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, not on the same level at all.


    Around the stone table, laid dead bodies that covered the ground.


    Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling did not move. Seeing this situation, Leng Qiuling��s expression dimmed, and she said, ��Sure enough, this kind of lucky chance can only belong to True God Realms.��


    Ye Yuan said smiling, ��That might not be so.��


    Leng Qiuling��s beautiful eyes lit up and she said, ��What does that mean?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��ll know in a while. But before this, we still have to settle some scores.��


    Among the Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, Zhuo Han��s gaze suddenly turned sharp.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan was actually walking over to his side!


    Could it be that he discovered me? Impossible! We have been very careful along the way, it��s impossible that he found out! Zhuo Han thought in his heart.


    At this time, Ji Xun was currently among those dozen over powerhouses in order to fight for the Vermilion Bird true blood and did not have time to care about Zhuo Han at all.


    Things did not develop according to Zhuo Han��s thoughts, Ye Yuan came closer and closer.


    ��Huhu, want to kill people, then hide your killing intent a little better. With Ji Xun around, you��re too reckless and unbridled!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice entered Zhuo Han��s ears leisurely, shattering his last trace of hope.


    Zhuo Han��s expression suddenly changed. How could he still dare to remain, his figure suddenly dashing out, scurrying over in the direction of the oasis.


    ��Master, save me!�� Zhuo Han bellowed.


    Those dozen over powerhouses were currently fighting in close quarters without rest. Ji Xun��s strength took a very huge advantage among these powerhouses and was already almost snatching the box.


    Who knew that at this time, Zhuo Han suddenly dashed out.


    And behind him, Ye Yuan��s figure arrived high up in the air.


    The Frostcounter Sword sword in his hand, Ye Yuan��s certain-kill attack was already in the midst of unleashing.


    ��Ye Yuan, you dare?!�� Ji Xun��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger as he roared.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Do you think I dare or not?��


    Ye Yuan��s timing of taking action was too cunning, it was precisely when Ji Xun could not take care of his front and rear at the same time


    Ji Xun��s two eyes were blood-red. In the interval where he was in a daze, he was struck by another True God powerhouse with a blade.


    ��A Sword Crossing the Void!��


    Zhuo Han��s movement technique was actually very fast, but what Ye Yuan used was greater teleportation!


    No matter how fast he was, how could escape Ye Yuan��s sword?


    A sword unleashing, Zhuo Han did not even have time to let out a scream and was utterly annihilated.


    Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s most promising genius disciple, perished!


    At the same time, Ji Xun was also hacked out of the battle royal by a blade, suffering a great loss in vitality.


    But he did not care about the injuries on his body at all. He looked at Ye Yuan as he roared angrily, ��Ye Yuan brat, not killing you, I, Ji Xun, am lesser than human!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Ji Xun and said coolly, ��I��m afraid that you don��t have that chance anymore! I didn��t provoke the two of you master and disciple, but the two of you master and disciple wanted to doom me time and again. Heh, really take me to be kneaded out of clay?��


    Those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists looked at Ye Yuan with astonished faces.


    This kid, a Second Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, actually dared to provoke a True God Realm powerhouse like this, this was being tired of living!


    But that sword just now indeed took their breaths away.


    A peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity actually one-shotted a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Furthermore, the person Ye Yuan killed was not some nameless and unknown person, but Zhuo Han who was known as Heavenly Water Imperial Capital��s number one genius.


    What in the world was this young man��s background?


    ��Hahahaha, the Vermilion Bird true blood is mine!�� Right at this time, that True God powerhouse who chopped Ji Xun flying with a blade previously, finally grabbed that box, and let out a wild laugh.


    He charged out from the midst of more than a dozen True God powerhouses and finally got what he wished, acquiring the Vermilion Bird true blood.


    Ji Xun��s gaze revealed a look of insanity, forcefully suppressing the injuries in his body, his figure suddenly disappearing!


    Puchi!


    That True God powerhouse was currently laughing away loudly when suddenly, his heart spurted fresh blood wildly. He actually had a hole punctured through from the back by someone with one sword.


    The box in his hand was naturally snatched away by someone.


    And the person who killed him was none other than precisely Ji Xun.


    In an instant just now, he unleashed a secret art, stimulating the potential in his body, and finished off that True God powerhouse with one sword while he was off-guard.


    After snatching the treasure, virtually without stopping in the slightest, Ji Xun��s figure turned into an afterimage, escaping out of the desert.


    ��Ye Yuan, when I refine the Vermilion Bird true blood, it will be the day where you meet your maker!�� In the air, the words that Ji Xun left behind reverberated.


    Talking about it was slow, but actually, the change just now happened in just an instant.


    Only then did that group of True God powerhouses feel as if they woke up from a dream. Each and every one of them was in a crazed state, rushing after Ji Xun.


    They only found the Vermilion Bird true blood after going through hardships, how could they possibly allow Ji Xun to monopolize it?


    ��Want to monopolize the Vermilion Bird true blood, no chance in hell!��


    ��Leave behind the Vermilion Bird true blood!��


    ��


    After the group of True God powerhouses left, this slaughter finally calmed down.


    Those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists looked toward Ye Yuan, pitying expressions on their faces.


    Ji Xun obtaining the Vermilion Bird true blood, after refining, his strength would surely soar greatly.


    He was originally a True God powerhouse already. So wouldn��t dealing with Ye Yuan be accomplished with ease after this?


    Without the Vermilion Bird true blood, these people naturally had no need to stay anymore as well.


    Amidst a series of sighs, these Celestial Deity Realm martial artists left the oasis.


    Leng Qiuling came to Ye Yuan��s side and said with a sigh, ��You were too impulsive! Killing a Zhuo Han is easy, but you thoroughly enraged Ji Xun like this. He obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood now. After refining, his strength will definitely improve further. At that time, he��ll be even harder to deal with.��


    Even if Ji Xun could not employ the strength of True God Realm in this place, his realm could infinitely approach True God Realm.


    Furthermore, Ji Xun��s law comprehension was exceedingly high. It was completely impossible for Celestial Deity Realm martial artists to be his match.


    Provoking such a powerful enemy was clearly not a very wise thing.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Ji Xun obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood? Huhu, most likely �� he��ll be disappointed.��


    Leng Qiuling��s face changed when he heard that and said, ��Mn? What do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The Vermilion Bird true blood is still here, so �� what Ji Xun brought away definitely isn��t the Vermilion Bird true blood.��


    ��Still here? This �� how is this possible?��


    Even if Leng Qiuling was cold as ice, she was also surprised by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Under the watchful gazes of everyone, Ji Xun clearly obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood, but Ye Yuan said that he did not obtain it!

 Chapter 1865 - Plucking the Sun Barehandedly

    Inside the bleak and desolate desert, more than ten figures were flickering irregularly.


    ��Ji Xun, leave behind the Vermilion Bird true blood!��


    ��Your secret art has probably already reached the limit, right?��


    More than ten powerhouses were in hot pursuit, this chase had also escaped more than god knows how many tens of thousands of miles away already.


    Ji Xun��s entire person was in a great panic and he was still driven into an impasse.


    Finally, those dozen over figures caught up to Ji Xun, cutting off all of his paths of retreat.


    ��Heh, Ji Xun, you suffered heavy injuries and can��t escape!��


    ��Hurry up and hand over the Vermilion Bird true blood and we��ll spare you from death!��


    Although Ji Xun��s background was deep, at this time, who would still care about him, this city lord?


    Ji Xun��s expression turned solemn and he said in a deep voice, ��Want the Vermilion Bird true blood, come and get it if you have the capabilities then!��


    ��Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!��


    More than ten figures rushed up together, unfolding a fierce slaughter.


    Although Ji Xun was a Seventh Firmament True God powerhouse, he could not unleash his true strength at all currently. Coupled with that he was fighting against the odds, how could he be these people��s match?


    Puchi!


    A blade pierced right into his abdomen, completely wiping out his vitality.


    That True God powerhouse holding the blade grinned hideously and said, ��You courted death yourself, can��t blame me!��


    Right at this time, the corners of Ji Xun��s mouth revealed a hint of a strange smile. That True God powerhouse immediately felt something amiss.


    ��Be careful!��


    Those over a dozen people were just about to step forward and search his body, but Ji Xun��s body suddenly exploded. A massive energy wave spread out vigorously.


    The dozen over people were blown off their feet, each and every one suffering heavy injuries.


    That True God powerhouse who wielded the blade was actually directly blasted into ashes.


    ��Nine Suns Thunder Exploding Talisman! D-Damn it! We were tricked!��


    ��Chasing for so long, this was actually a clone of his!��


    ��


    At this time, underground in some remote place inside the desert, Ji Xun��s entire person was covered by sand.


    He opened up a narrow space under the ground and hid here.


    His aura was currently dispirited and inert, but looking at the jade box in his hand, his two eyes emitted light.


    ��Heh, in order to obtain you, I even abandoned the clone that I cultivated for several tens of thousands of years! With this Vermilion Bird true blood, I can definitely break through to the Empyrean Realm and become the sovereign of a region! Ye Yuan brat, you killed Han-er right in front of my face. I��ll make you wish you were dead!��


    Upon thinking of Ye Yuan, Ji Xun��s fury was boundless.


    If not for Ye Yuan killing Zhuo Han at the crucial moment, greatly shocking his mind, he also would not have been ambushed by someone, and obtaining this jade box would not expend so much effort.


    That clone was obtained by him several tens of thousands of years ago and had always followed him. Presently, it already cultivated to the boundary of Fifth Firmament True God as well.


    This clone cost him countless painstaking efforts.


    Now, everything was gone.


    Ji Xun��s hatred toward Ye Yuan could be imagined.


    He naturally would not have thought that he nearly almost killed Ye Yuan back then.


    Feeling the waves of powerful undulation coming from inside the jade box, Ji Xun felt an upsurge of emotion.


    Carrying flustered feelings, Ji Xun��s divine essence surged, slowly opening the jade box.


    Bang!


    A cloud of black gas suddenly emerged, immediately covering Ji Xun��s face.


    ��Hahaha, this empyrean finally sees the light of day anew! Boy, I��ll borrow your body to use!��


    A sinister voice came over, the black gas bored straight into Ji Xun��s body.


    ��Ahh! What the hell are you, get lost for Your Father! Get out of Your Father��s body!�� Ji Xun roared furiously.


    ��Je je, this seat is Empyrean Devilfeather! To be able to get possessed by this empyrean, you should be happy!��


    ��Scram! What dogfart Empyrean, your bit of strength also wants to seize possession of my body? Dream on!��


    ��Je je, this Empyrean already invaded inside your sea of consciousness, want to seize possession or not, that��s not up to you too!��


    ��Why?! Why isn��t it the Vermilion Bird true blood inside this box?�� Ji Xun bellowed.


    ��Vermilion Bird true blood? Turns out that you were finding the Vermilion Bird true blood! Hahaha, in this space, the Vermilion Bird true blood is that blazing sun, you actually thought that it��s inside this jade box? Really foolish! But, it��s precisely also because of your foolishness that this empyrean can see the light of day again!�� Empyrean Devilfeather laughed strangely as he said.


    ��B-Blazing sun! I-Impossible!��


    Empyrean Devilfeather��s words made Ji Xun��s mind tremble greatly.


    A person and a fiend unleashed an intense struggle inside Ji Xun��s sea of consciousness.


    ��


    ��That��s the Vermilion Bird true blood? This �� How is this possible?��


    Leng Qiuling raised her head and looked at the sky, that blazing sun was incomparably scorching.


    But she was unable to believe no matter what that that blazing sun was actually the Vermilion Bird true blood that everyone racked their heads to snatch for.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This space is hewed open with the Vermilion Bird true blood as its foundation. And this oasis is the center of this space. One can only obtain the Vermilion Bird true blood from here.��


    Leng Qiuling��s mouth opened into a circle and said with a disbelieving look, ��Then �� Then what was it that Ji Xun snatched away?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That I don��t know. But �� I reckon that it��s nothing good, huhu.��


    Leng Qiuling listened until she stared dumbfounded and was tongue-tied. Until now, she still felt like she was dreaming.


    Looking at the dead bodies strewn all over the ground in the oasis, Leng Qiuling could not help smiling bitterly.


    These people went through all kinds of hardships and difficulties to come here. They did not expect that what they fought over was actually a fake Vermilion Bird true blood.


    However, Leng Qiuling soon felt at ease too.


    The world of martial artists was like this to begin with.


    Those who possess a great destiny could obtain astonishing treasures inside mystic realms, going through a nirvanic rebirth.


    But the vast majority of the people would perish inside mystic realms.


    The birth of a powerhouse was built on countless corpses.


    Using the achievement of a general was built on the dead bodies of countless soldiers was not over the top at all.


    ��But �� how should we obtain the Vermilion Bird true blood?�� Leng Qiuling asked with uncertainty.


    In this place, no one dared to fly toward the sky. Because the high-altitude restrictive array formation was not what they could contend with.


    This had already been confirmed by countless people.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, figure leaping, and stepped onto that stone table.


    Rumble!


    In the sky, winds and clouds changed. An extremely powerful flame appeared indistinctly as if it was going to burn the entire space.


    And Ye Yuan was situated in the center of this firestorm!


    Seeing this scene, Leng Qiuling��s expression changed greatly, and she exclaimed, ��Ye Yuan, be careful!��


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all, figure leaping straight up to the clouds!


    At the same time, a majestic power of Great Dao burst forth on Ye Yuan��s body, welcoming that horrifying flame.


    Leng Qiuling��s pupils constricted. That limitless flame was actually shrinking!


    As if �� it was afraid of Ye Yuan.


    Those flames finally converged on the blazing sun.


    Ye Yuan flew higher and higher, all the way until he was at the same height as the blazing sun.


    Under Leng Qiuling��s astonished gaze, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and plucked at the blazing sun.


    At this time, the incomparably berserk blazing sun actually became incomparably docile, its light weakening extremely rapidly, finally turning into the appearance of a drop of blood.


    Ye Yuan grasped lightly, holding this drop of Vermilion Bird true blood in the palm of his hand, and floated down.


    Leng Qiuling looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment on her face.


    ��You �� How did you do it?��

 Chapter 1866 - Great Destiny

    Everything was as a matter of course. It was as if all this was prepared for Ye Yuan.


    No matter looking from which angle, climbing up to the sky to pluck the blood, this sort of thing, was an extremely dangerous thing.


    But Ye Yuan did it so calmly.


    That appearance was like walking one round in his own backyard.


    ��You refine it here. I��ll stand guard over you. Nobody should come over to this place anymore.��


    Ye Yuan handed the Vermilion Bird true blood to Leng Qiuling, but Leng Qiuling did not take it.


    ��This �� you��re really giving it to me?�� Leng Qiuling��s eyes carried some doubt.


    Not that she was suspicious, but that this kind of massive lucky chance was what even peak True God powerhouses were moved by. But Ye Yuan gave it to her without the slightest hesitation.


    This kind of thing, anyone would feel like they were dreaming.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How can the relationship between friends be what a drop of true blood can replace? That day, if not for you speaking up to stop it in the Leng Family, this Ye would have many more troubles appear out of thin air. This drop of true blood, give to you.��


    ��B-But this is too valuable.��


    With the treasure being in front of her, it would be false if Leng Qiuling said that she was unmoved. But this Vermilion Bird true blood was really quite a hot potato.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How can an Empyrean��s abode possibly just have this bit of Vermilion Bird true blood? The real treasures are all inside the abode. This Vermilion Bird true blood might not be considered very valuable.��


    ��


    This refinement took three months�� time.


    On this day, in the oasis, a scorching light shot to the sky.


    An enormous Vermilion Bird phantom formed behind Leng Qiuling.


    Her aura was also much stronger than before and actually already stepped into Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    ��Huhu, congratulations! From today onwards, ice and fire laws fusing, Miss Leng��s strength will increase greatly! The title of Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s number one genius will likely change owners very soon.��


    Leng Qiuling slowly opened her eyes, Ye Yuan��s voice transmitted into her ears.


    Leng Qiuling was just about to answer when her gaze turned sharp, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yuan also actually broke through to become a Third Firmament Celestial Deity already.


    ��Didn��t you break through too?�� A hint of a bitter smile flashed across the corners of Leng Qiuling��s mouth.


    She thought that by obtaining the Vermilion Bird true blood, she would suppress Ye Yuan for some time. She did not expect that within a short three months, Ye Yuan similarly broke through his realm.


    Could it be that this guy had no bottlenecks?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Vermilion Bird true blood��s vital energy is too beneficial. I also suffered a considerable impact by the side and actually found the opportunity to break through just like that. Alright, it��s getting late, we should head out. Opening up the Empyrean abode still needs to borrow the power of your Vermilion Bird true blood.��


    Leng Qiuling nodded her head slightly and followed Ye Yuan, heading toward the exit together.


    When they returned to the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, that valley was already packed full of martial artists.


    ��Tsk tsk, that Xu Xing is really remarkable, to actually obtain the White Tiger true blood! His strength is formidable to begin with. Now, among the junior generation, nobody is his match at all.��


    ��Isn��t that so? Heard that a kid called Ye Yuan actually dared to snatch away his woman, really tired of living!��


    ��Heh, to talk about this Ye Yuan, that isn��t some nice guy either! Inside the Door of Vermilion Bird, Ye Yuan killed Heavenly Water City Lord Ji Xun��s disciple in front of his face. Putting aside that Ye Yuan��s strength is fearsome, his gall is also unbelievably fat! However, Ji Xun obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood, so that kid will likely suffer a disaster.��


    ��There��s still such a thing? Then this kid really took the road to ruin! No matter how talented he is, he��s also merely a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. In front of Xu Xing and Ji Xun, he��s akin to an ant.��


    ��


    At this time, the general situation had already settled down. Everyone was discussing the ownership issue of the Four Symbols true blood this time.


    Several wisps of discussing sounds floated into Leng Qiuling and Ye Yuan��s ears.


    Leng Qiuling��s brows furrowed. She did not think that Xu Xing actually obtained the White Tiger true blood.


    She knew how difficult it was to obtain the true blood from the hands of a group of True God powerhouses.


    This Xu Xing was truly a proud son of heaven, his destiny exuberant!


    Suddenly, a dark shadow arrived with a howl. The powerful aura immediately enveloped Ye Yuan two people.


    ��DIE!��


    On the Thousand Soar Alliance��s side, Gu Tianque��s expression suddenly changed, attacking fiercely at the same time.


    Bang!


    In an intense clash, Gu Tianque was actually struck until he fell back repeatedly.


    ��Ji Xun, what��s the meaning of this?�� Gu Tianque said in a solemn voice.


    This dark shadow was none other than precisely the Ji Xun who just came out of the Door of Vermilion Bird.


    At this time, Ji Xun��s aura was much more gloomier and colder compared to before, virtually able to freeze people.


    ��Gu Tianque, I only want this boy��s life, it has nothing to do with you! If you don��t move, I��ll kill you too!�� Ji Xun said in a cold voice.


    Gu Tianque was greatly enraged when he heard that and said, ��Want to kill me? With just the likes of you?��


    Ji Xun released his aura. The terrifying aura spread out, making Gu Tianque��s pupils shrink.


    This Ji Xun seemed to be different.


    ��You can try!�� Ji Xun said in a cold voice.


    At this time, Ji Kang suddenly stepped forward and said, ��Alright, everyone is about to enter the Empyrean abode, the real treasure should all be hidden there. Two great True God powerhouses having an internal strife here isn��t some good thing. Give me face, put aside whatever grudge there is. It won��t be too late to kill people after leaving this Empyrean abode.��


    Ji Xun��s expression changed several times and he snorted coldly and said, ��Fine, I��ll give you face! Gu Tianque, after going out, if you still dare to protect this little animal, I��ll definitely kill you! If you don��t believe it, you can give it a try!��


    Gu Tianque snorted coldly and said, ��Impervious to reason!��


    Actually, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Exchanging a blow just now, Ji Xun��s strength seemed to be much stronger than before.


    But in this place, everyone suppressed their cultivation realms. Just how one��s strength was, one could only know after going out.


    Ji Kang smiled and said, ��Huhu, Ji Kang heard that you obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood. Come, the other three people are already in position. You guys open up the Empyrean abode!��


    Hearing this, Ji Xun��s expression became even uglier as he said in a solemn voice, ��I didn��t get the Vermilion Bird true blood!��


    Ji Kang��s smile turned stiff on his face and he said in surprise, ��You didn��t obtain it? Then who got it?��


    Ji Xun��s unfriendly gaze looked toward Leng Qiuling.


    ��Heh, if a snipe and a clam are locked in a fight, it��s only to the advantage of the fisherman! I didn��t expect that in the end, it actually let this girlie become the fisherman!��


    Everyone��s gazes looked over toward Leng Qiuling, all incomparably surprised.


    Only then did Gu Tianque also pay attention to this disciple of his at this time, she actually already broke through to become a Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Beyond the shock, he was pleasantly surprised.


    ��Haha, Ling-er, you really obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood?�� Gu Tianque said with a big laugh.


    Leng Qiuling nodded her head, counted as acquiescing to it.


    When Xu Xing heard this news, he also laughed loudly as he said, ��Huhu, it��s really great! Junior Apprentice Sister Qiuling, you and I are both people of great destiny! It��s impossible for you and that ant beside you to get together! The gap between you guys will only get bigger and bigger! Come, let��s go open up the abode!��


    He felt that him acquiring the White Tiger true blood and Leng Qiuling obtaining the Vermilion Bird true blood could already shake off all of the young generation.


    In the future, even stepping into the realm of Empyrean was also not impossible.


    Ye Yuan was naturally even less worthy of Leng Qiuling.


    ��Great destiny? Senior Apprentice Brother Xu, I think that you��re mistaken. The one who possesses a great destiny isn��t me, but Ye Yuan. This Vermilion Bird true blood was given to me by him,�� Leng Qiuling shook her head and explained.

 Chapter 1867 - Empyrean Abode’s True Colors

    ��G-Gave to you?�� Xu Xing opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief.


    Four Symbols true blood, this kind of massive lucky chance, would actually be given to others with two hands?


    Not just Xu Xing, the others also looked at Ye Yuan with stunned faces.


    This guy was also too extravagant in order to chase after a girl, right?


    Quite a number of people looked at Leng Qiuling, all envious to the extreme.


    They only hated that they did not have Leng Qiuling��s looks and let Ye Yuan gift this massive lucky chance to them. How great would that be!


    Obtaining the Vermilion Bird true blood was not just increasing cultivation so simple. That was equivalent to cleansing the martial artist��s marrows anew, letting the martial artist have greater room for improvement in the future.


    Especially for peerless geniuses like Xu Xing and Leng Qiuling, they even had a chance of stepping into the realm of Empyrean in the future!


    That realm was a legendary existence, who would not be moved?


    Leng Qiuling nodded and said, ��Without Ye Yuan, even if I knew where the Vermilion Bird true blood was, it��s also impossible to obtain it.��


    Ji Xun��s gaze locked onto Ye Yuan firmly, gnashing his teeth in hatred.


    Everyone did not discover that the blazing sun in the sun was the real Vermilion Bird true blood, so why was he able to discover it?


    Ji Xun learned from Empyrean Devilfeather there that the blazing sun in the sky was the real Vermilion Bird true blood. Originally, he still harbored great hopes, thinking that no one would discover it.


    But sadly, when he came out from underground, he discovered that that blazing sun in the sky was long gone.


    The sky was still that sky, but the Vermilion Bird true blood was not around anymore. This made him practically go insane.


    ��Je je, this boy is rather interesting! The concealment of the Vermilion Bird true blood can be said to be highly ingenious. Everyone can see it, everyone is under its illumination, but �� it��s simply impossible for there to be people who would think that the sun on top of their heads was actually the Vermilion Bird true blood. But this boy did it!�� Empyrean Devilfeather said with a strange laugh.


    Empyrean Devilfeather was still suppressed by Ji Xun in the end. But Ji Xun was not able to exterminate him too and could only seal him up, not giving him the chance to recover.


    But when Empyrean Devilfeather saw Ye Yuan, he became greatly interested.


    ��Humph! No matter how extraordinary he is, it��s also hard to escape death in the end!�� Ji Xun said with a cold snort.


    Empyrean Devilfeather laughed and said, ��Heh, have you ever thought that this boy might be hiding an even greater secret on him?��


    Ji Xun��s mind stirred, but he still said disdainfully, ��No matter how great the secret on him is, can it be bigger than Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s treasures?��


    Empyrean Realm also said, ��That��s true. Back then, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove nearly almost broke through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor. Lord Jiu Shang was even a magnitude worse compared to him.��


    On this side, Xu Xing could not quite maintain his expression anymore.


    He was still just pledging in all solemnity, saying that Ye Yuan was an ant and did not have a great destiny. But in a blink of an eye, his face was slapped resoundingly.


    Ye Yuan obtained the Vermilion Bird true blood and gave it straight to Leng Qiuling.


    He, Xu Xing, obtained the White Tiger true blood but chose to refine it himself.


    Now, he ran over to say whatever you and I both have great destinies, this was simply performing a slapstick.


    Feeling those strange gazes from all around, Xu Xing wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    Ji Kang also looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. Nodding his head, he said to Leng Qiuling, ��Since that��s the case, then let��s get started?��


    Leng Qiuling nodded slightly, leaping up and flying in front of the Door of Vermilion Bird.


    Xu Xing and the other two people also flew in front of their respective doors. Apart from Xu Xing, the other two were both True God Realm itinerant cultivators.


    But the True God Realm powerhouses on the Thousand Soar Alliance��s side were empty-handed.


    The four people revolved the bloodline power within their bodies. Immediately, four enormous Four Symbols phantoms emerged in the air.


    Four roars echoed out, those four phantoms tunneled straight into the Four Symbols doors.


    Inside the Four Symbols doors, four beams of light emitted, colliding together fiercely.


    Rumble!


    A massive stone door condensed and formed in the valley.


    On the stone door, an archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life exuded, stirring people��s souls.


    Even those True God powerhouses were all incomparably rattled too.


    The aura inside this stone door was not what they could contend with at all.


    Seeing this stone door, Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted.


    ��This aura, could it be ����


    Dustless also had a look of surprise and said with a nod, ��Most likely, you guessed correctly! What in the world does this old fogey want to do?��


    The others naturally would not pay attention to Ye Yuan. All of them had their attention drawn by this stone door.


    ��Haha, after this stone door opens, it definitely contains countless treasures! Come on!��


    Finally, someone could not hold back the excitement in their hearts and sped over toward the stone door.


    With someone leading the way, how could these people still endure it, all flying toward the stone door crazily?


    Leng Qiuling��s figure floated down but discovered that Ye Yuan��s expression was very ugly.


    ��Ye Yuan, what��s wrong with you?�� Leng Qiuling asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Nothing, let��s go in too.��


    The scene before their eyes changed. The group of powerhouses arrived in another mountain range.


    ��What is this place?��


    ��That stone door just now seems to be the entrance to a small world!��


    ��Could it be that �� this place is Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s small world?��


    ��Heh, it��s likely the case! If one can find Immortal Grove��s Dao Fruit here, that��s truly soaring to the heavens in one bound!��


    ��


    These martial artists were not fools either, realizing something very quickly.


    Ye Yuan looked at the scene before his eyes and could not help heaving a heavy sigh.


    The thing that he was most afraid of indeed still happened.


    This place was none other than precisely the Immortal Grove World!


    This place, Ye Yuan was too familiar.


    This place that they were at right now was precisely the Godsfall Mountain Range!


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove connected his own small world to that stone door.


    The aura of that stone door was practically identical to the World Locking Gate. Ye Yuan recognized it with one glance.


    Ye Yuan did not know what Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was trying to do. But so many Celestial Deities, even True God powerhouses entering the Immortal Grove World. Once a great battle occurred, the people would likely be plunged into an abyss of suffering!


    To these martial artists, a small world counted for nothing at all.


    But, this place was his, Ye Yuan��s hometown, the place that he grew up in.


    ��Ye Yuan, what��s wrong with you? Your expression is very ugly!�� Leng Qiuling asked concernedly.


    She discovered that ye yuan��s entire state was rather off starting from just now.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��I��m fine. You should follow City Lord Gu first. I have some matters and need to leave for a while. I��ll come and find you guys again later.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not wait for Leng Qiuling to agree either, his figure moving and vanishing on the spot.


    Ji Xun��s attention had always been on Ye Yuan. When he saw Ye Yuan leave, he originally planned on chasing after.


    But in a blink, he lost Ye Yuan��s traces. This made him greatly shocked in his heart.


    ��Je je �� really wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search and finding it by chance without even looking for it! Didn��t expect, didn��t expect that we actually arrived at Old Fart Immortal Grove��s small world! That thing is likely here too, right?�� Empyrean Devilfeather laughed strangely as he said.


    Ji Xun��s heart stirred and he asked, ��That thing? What thing?��


    Something that could move a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse definitely would not be an ordinary object.


    Empyrean Devilfeather gave a cold laugh and said, ��You��d best not have designs on it. That��s something that Lord Jiu Shang wants. If you dare to touch it, you should know the consequences.��


    Ji Xun��s expression changed and he fell silent.

 Chapter 1868 - Heaven Killing Sword Formation

    Rumble!


    The earth trembled, the whole world in shock.


    Inside the Law Enforcement Hall was long in a chaotic mess.


    ��What happened again? Why does it feel like �� it��s the apocalypse?�� Fang Tian��s expression was very ugly, a foreboding feeling lingering in his heart.


    At present, Fang Tian was the controller and knew everything about the Immortal Grove World like the back of his hand.


    Just earlier, a primeval-like force suddenly barged into the Immortal Grove World.


    That force made even him, this controller, feel palpitation.


    Skydistant, Lu Linfeng, Teng Yun, and the rest of the powerhouses naturally sensed this horrifying aura too, coming over one after another.


    ��Elder Fang, what happened?��


    ��Why is our Immortal Grove World always dogged by misfortune and disasters? Sigh!��


    Everyone clamored to get a word in. Some grumbled, some were helpless, but even more were alarmed and panicky.


    Fang Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly as he said, ��This �� I don��t know what happened as well. This aura, I can feel that it��s very similar to the World Locking Gate��s aura. But it��s in the direction of the Godsfall Mountain Range. My perception �� isn��t able to extend over.��


    Everyone��s faces changed. Even Fang Tian this controller was unable to perceive it, this matter was definitely huge.


    Right at this time, a figure appeared out of thin air, his expression solemn.


    ��Everyone!��


    Seeing the arrival clearly, everyone��s face was wild with joy!


    Indeed, whenever the Immortal Grove World was in danger, Ye Yuan would always show himself.


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s really great that you came back! Something seems to have happened over at the Godsfall Mountain Range that side ����


    Fang Tian spoke halfway when Ye Yuan interrupted his words by saying, ��Senior Fang Tian, I entered the Immortal Grove World from over there! This incident is likely not so simple. A large group of Heavenspan World powerhouses entered the Immortal Grove World and might make the Immortal Grove World fall apart to pieces!��


    When everyone heard that, each and every one of them had ashen looks.


    They did not expect that the state of affairs would actually be so serious.


    ��Ye Yuan, this �� what is going on here?�� Fang Tian��s face changed as he said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know either! But one thing is certain, this is a set up arranged by Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove. But what his goal is, I can make nothing of it. This matter has already exceeded my control. Senior Fang Tian, what you all have to do next is to stabilize the Immortal Grove World! Starting from now, everyone is prohibited from entering the Godsfall Mountain Range. You all rest assured, unless I die, I won��t let the Immortal Grove World be broken into pieces! Alright, not saying anymore, I��ll be leaving now. Remember, make sure not to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s figure disappeared before everyone again.


    Everyone��s faces had solemn looks. They felt pressure from Ye Yuan.


    The Ye Yuan in the past had always been calm and composed. But this time, he seemed to be somewhat different from usual.


    After the crisis of the fiend race, they seemed to have not seen Ye Yuan so anxious before anymore.


    Someone as powerful as the Heavenly Sin Heretic God was also toyed by Ye Yuan in the palm of his hands.


    Figure flashing, Ye Yuan returned to the Godsfall Mountain Range once more.


    But the expression on his face became even uglier!


    The Kunwu Divine Wood that originally towered into the clouds actually disappeared without a trace already.


    ��Senior, Senior Kunwu he ����


    Dustless shook his head and said, ��I don��t know either! At that time, I��d already fallen into slumber. The matter between him and Immortal Grove, I��m not aware of it.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows knitted even tighter. He seriously could not figure out just what on earth Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was doing, to actually draw so many powerhouses to his lair.


    Especially that even the Kunwu Divine Wood which was unwavering for ten thousand years already disappeared into thin air now as well!


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��I keep feeling that this matter isn��t so simple. Forget it, take it one step at a time then. Just hope that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove doesn��t use his own small world as a chip!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s figure moved once more, disappearing.


    ��


    ��Heaven Killing Sword Formation! There are a total of nine levels of power. Those who clear three levels can enter the next mountain peak. People who clear the six levels will be awarded a true god mystic treasure. Those who clear nine levels will be awarded an empyrean spirit treasure!��


    On a mountain peak, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s voice sounded out once more.


    Ahead, an enormous sword formation spanned in front of the group of powerhouses.


    At this time, everyone already saw that on that tallest mountain peak far away, there was a large palace, emitting an aura that made people��s hearts palpitate.


    Anyone could guess that the true treasures were likely inside that palace.


    However, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s words still drove the group of powerhouses into a frenzy.


    Empyrean spirit treasure!


    That was something that made Empyrean powerhouses go crazy for. Now, it was right in front of their eyes!


    But they also knew that wanting to clear the level nine difficulty was practically something impossible.


    But if one could clear the level six difficulty, obtaining a true god mystic treasure was also very decent.


    Those True God powerhouses, not everyone had a true god mystic treasure.


    This kind of thing could be encountered but could not be hoped for.


    ��Let me!�� A Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity martial artist could not resist and was the first to challenge the formation.


    No one stopped him. There would always be someone who would spearhead the attack. This person going to probe the sword formation��s power was also a pretty good choice.


    Swoosh!


    That powerhouse leaped and entered straight into the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    Immediately, countless sword lights came whistling from all directions.


    That Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity��s strength was indeed intrepid. No matter how strong the sword lights were, they could not do anything to him.


    ��Fan Ming��s strength is indeed formidable. Heard that he once challenged three powerhouses of the same rank without being defeated. His strength is rather powerful among itinerant cultivators!��


    ��Looking at it, he might be able to obtain a true god mystic treasure!��


    ��Tsk tsk, Celestial Deity Realm and possess a true god mystic treasure, really envious!��


    ��


    Fan Ming clearly had some fame among the itinerant cultivators.


    The moment he made his move, the others all gasped in admiration.


    At the same time, they also had a clear understanding of the sword formation��s power.


    Furthermore, Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity was a tier-one team powerhouse among these powerhouses to begin with.


    Sure enough, Fan Ming��s strength was intrepid, clearing the level three difficulty sword formation very quickly.


    Then, a transmission array appeared in the corner of the grand array.


    ��Now, you can choose to leave and can also choose to carry on challenging!�� Inside the grand array, a voice sounded out.


    ��I choose to continue challenge!�� Fan Ming said without the slightest hesitation.


    In the wake of his voice fading, that transmission array disappeared. The grand array started operating again.


    All of a sudden, the situation changed drastically!


    Inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, a series of horrifying sword energy practically turned corporeal, passing through the sword formation.


    Although the group of powerhouses was outside the sword formation, they felt like the series of terrifying sword intent was virtually piercing through them!


    Terrifying!


    The difficulty of this fourth level soared several times all at once!


    Fan Ming��s expression changed drastically. But it was already too late for him to want to regret it now.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    One sword light after another arrived with a whistle. How could Fan Ming still dare to dawdle, bringing out 120% of his ability immediately.


    Puchi!


    A sword light pierced right through his protective divine essence, tearing through his body.


    Following the first sword light landing, countless sword lights rained down like a web, puncturing Fan Ming into a sieve.


    Outside the sword formation, it was death-like silence.

 Chapter 1869 - Xu Xing’s Coercion

    A Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse actually died in front of them just like this. This cast a shadow over the road ahead.


    They finally knew that this true god mystic treasure was not easy to get.


    Let alone clearing the level nine sword formation and obtaining the empyrean spirit treasure.


    ��Let me give it a try!��


    At this time, Ji Kang suddenly stepped forward and walked toward the sword formation.


    Among this group of people, Ji Kang��s strength should be the strongest. Everyone was very looking forward to it, wanting to see just which step he could walk to.


    Upon entering the sword formation, Ji Kang��s strength immediately unfolded.


    In the first three rounds, Fan Ming did not clear it easily, but Ji Kang cleared it naturally and smoothly.


    Reaching the fourth round, everyone��s hearts became nervous.


    But without any surprises, Ji Kang chose to continue challenging it.


    Fourth round, Ji Kang��s pressure soared!


    Everyone could feel that he was straining much more than before.


    But he was an entire major realm higher than Fan Ming. His strength naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    It was everyone��s first time witnessing the fifth round. The powerhouses outside the sword formation all turned pale.


    Too horrifying!


    However, Ji Kang still made it through smoothly.


    In the sixth round, after Ji Kang suffered a series of tempestuous sword lights, he still made it through.


    When the transmission array appeared in front of Ji Kang again, he hesitated.


    ��You still have three breaths of time to consider! Three, two ���� That voice in the sword formation sounded out once more. Everyone��s hearts leaped to their throats.


    Right at this time, Ji Kang moved!


    He stepped into the transmission array without the slightest hesitation, vanishing.


    ��Even Lord Ji Kang don��t dare to challenge the seventh level too? Sure enough, an empyrean spirit treasure isn��t that easy to get!��


    Those True God powerhouses had regretful faces. Even Ji Kang did not dare to challenge the seventh level. Them going to challenge it were most likely to die too.


    Although empyrean spirit treasures were good, one also needed to have the life to take it!


    Before long, Ji Kang��s figure appeared on the other side of the grand array.


    Clearly, he obtained a true god mystic treasure at some place.


    However, his face did not have any joy.


    True god mystic treasures might be good stuff to others, but to him, it was merely something superfluous.


    With two people taking the lead, these powerhouses started challenging one after another.


    But, for Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, virtually no one dared to challenge the fourth round.


    In reality, Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, people that were able to clear the first two rounds were very, very few.


    Only to see one life after another snuff out inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    True God powerhouses, someone challenged the fourth level too. But after five to six True God powerhouses died in a row, no one dared to continue challenging as well.


    Ye Yuan quietly returned beside Leng Qiuling since no idea when as he said, ��Looks like this round is very brutal!��


    Ye Yuan saw that the number of martial artists was clearly much lesser than before, only then sighing emotionally.


    Leng Qiuling nodded her head and said, ��The power of this sword formation is very terrifying. Even Lord Ji Kang only cleared the sixth round too.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, having a rough understanding of the Heaven Killing Sword Formation��s power.


    ��A genius that holds even the Vermilion Bird true blood in contempt, this sword formation definitely can��t stump you. Why don��t you go up and try? You wouldn��t be �� scared, right? Hahaha ����


    Xu Xing had always been staring over here. The reason why he had not gone to challenge yet was to wait for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan made him lose face time and again. He must win back some ground this time in the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    ��Young Master Xu, don��t make things difficult for people. A Third Firmament Celestial Deity going up is definitely death.��


    ��Lend him a few galls and he also doesn��t dare to go up, right?��


    ��Hey, boy, you even gave the Vermilion Bird true blood to Miss Leng. Don��t lose face in front of a beauty. Hurry up and go give it a shot.��


    ��


    The moment Xu Xing opened his mouth, many young geniuses immediately started squeezing Ye Yuan.


    In their eyes, Xu Xing and Leng Qiuling were people who genuinely had great destinies. In this mystic realm trip, their harvests were likely far more than this.


    And Ye Yuan was utterly worthless in their eyes.


    Said that he gave the Vermilion Bird true blood to Leng Qiuling, who saw it?


    Said that he killed Zhuo Han with one sword, they did not believe at all.


    A Third Firmament Celestial Deity was A Third Firmament Celestial Deity. If they did not see with their own eyes, no one would believe that Ye Yuan could really kill Zhuo Han.


    Even if he killed, he definitely used despicable means too!


    Toward these people��s contempt, Ye Yuan naturally would not pay attention. He just said coolly, ��I say, can you be a bit more promising or not?��


    Xu Xing��s expression turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re saying that I��m a good-for-nothing?��


    ��You want me to be killed by the Heaven Killing Sword Formation and still have to use this kind of second-rate goading technique, what is it if not good-for-nothing? If you issue a challenge to me and compete in who clears the most rounds, I can view you in a better light,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Xu Xing��s face alternated between green and white. His paltry trick was seen through by Ye Yuan with one glance.


    ��Saying so much, aren��t you still gutless, not daring to enter the sword formation!�� Xu Xing said with a cold smile.


    This sword formation��s terrifying power already scared away quite a number of martial artists.


    Those weaker Celestial Deity Realm martial artists were already not planning to continue advancing anymore. They did not have hopes of clearing the first three levels at all.


    Hence, Xu Xing was certain that Ye Yuan��s bit of strength definitely did not dare to enter the sword formation.


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, ��Since you want to play, then I��ll play with you. You go and challenge first. If the rounds I clear is less than yours, the mystic realm at the back, I won��t go anymore.��


    ��Ye Yuan, you mustn��t!�� Leng Qiuling��s face changed and she urged.


    She knew that Ye Yuan��s strength was powerful, but this sword formation, even Ji Kang did not dare to go and challenge the seventh level too. It was too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan��s willful challenge would get him killed.


    Xu Xing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Alright then, I��ll go and challenge it first! At that time, don��t get scared until you wet your pants! Hahaha ����


    A wave of hooting also came from all around, very disapproving of Ye Yuan��s ��willful�� provocation.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s laughable challenge, Xu Xing was overjoyed in his heart.


    This time, he was finally going to make Ye Yuan lose all face in front of Leng Qiuling.


    Xu Xing was not perfunctory either, leaping and entering inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    Upon entering the sword formation, countless sword lights came head-on.


    Xu Xing��s strength was formidable, lifting something heavy as if it were light, blocking it easily.


    ��Brother Xu��s strength is truly astonishing like a celestial��s!��


    ��His Sword Dao law fused with lightning and fire, two great laws. Now, he refined the White Tiger true blood too, his current strength is too terrifying.��


    ��The first three rounds shouldn��t have any suspense anymore. As long as he clears the third round, Ye Yuan will have to clear until the sixth round! Heh, that kid will likely really be scared until he wet his pants.��


    ��


    The power of the Heaven Killing Sword Formation was set according to the martial artist��s overall strength, becoming stronger when encountering someone strong, becoming weaker when encountering someone weak.


    Xu Xing��s comprehension of laws was indeed formidable. He cleared the first three rounds very quickly.


    When the transmission array appeared, that voice sounded out once more.


    ��I choose to continue!�� Xu Xing immediately said without the least bit of hesitation.


    Exceeding everyone��s expectations, Xu Xing actually chose to continue challenging the formation!


    The grand array that fell silent lit up once again.


    The terrifying sword light suddenly leveled up, Xu Xing��s aura also skyrocketed along with it.

 Chapter 1870 - Standing Firm

    ��Tsk tsk, Xu Xing is forcing Ye Yuan to the death here!��


    ��Can this guy clear the sixth round?��


    ��Since he dared to do so, he likely has some confidence! Fusing three kinds of law powers, plus the White Tiger bloodline, his strength is already unimaginable.��


    ��


    Xu Xing��s crazy action caused a huge uproar.


    Ever since Fan Ming, no Celestial Deity Realm martial artists dared to challenge the fourth round at all.


    Only by clearing the third and sixth round would a transmission array appear.


    If one could not clear it, then there was only the outcome of waiting for death.


    Quite a few people cast amused looks toward Ye Yuan. If Xu Xing really made it through the sixth round, then it would be fun for them to see Ye Yuan going through the challenges.


    Reckon that he would really wet his pants.


    Xu Xing did not disappoint everyone. Although it was rather strained, he still successfully cleared the fourth round.


    In the fifth round, the White Tiger bloodline power in Xu Xing��s body suddenly erupted, making it through.


    Everyone was stunned, including those True God powerhouses. Each and every one of them became somewhat ashamed of their inadequacy.


    A Celestial Deity Realm martial artist actually made it to the sixth round!


    While they, these True God powerhouses, actually did not even dare to challenge the round.


    The so-called proud son of heaven was roughly like this.


    In the level six sword formation, the power was tremendous. Xu Xing who was amidst sword lights was far from as composed as before, with the injuries on his body also increasing.


    Xu Xing��s sword intent crisscrossed, three kinds of law powers utilized to the limit. The White Tiger bloodline power was similarly urged to the limit.


    Even so, Xu Xing was also perilously close to death, brushing past the death god many times.


    Everyone��s hearts leaped to their throats, not knowing if he could clear this round or not.


    Suddenly, the sword formation abruptly stopped. The transmission array appeared.


    Xu Xing succeeded in clearing this round!


    All of the powerhouses drew a cold breath. The peak Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity Xu Xing actually cleared the sixth round!


    This was absolutely an incomparably proud battle achievement!


    The current Xu Xing was riddled with injuries. But his image became incomparably tall and big in everyone��s eyes.


    This was a young man whose prospects were boundless!


    Dragging his all scratched up body, Xu Xing moved over toward the transmission array.


    Before entering the transmission array, Xu Xing even turned around and looked in Ye Yuan��s direction, giving a profound look.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Everyone��s gazes looked toward Ye Yuan in unison.


    This trumpet was blown too loudly!


    According to Ye Yuan��s statement, he must now complete the level nine sword formation before he could continue exploring the mystic realm.


    But the level nine sword formation, was this possible?


    Lord Ji Kang was a Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse. He did not dare to challenge the level seven sword formation too.


    The power of the ninth level, no one dared to try at all.


    That was a taboo existence!


    ��Young Master Ye, it��s your turn now! Just now, you made the boast. Now, are you going up or tucking your tail between your legs and getting lost?�� The one who spoke was Nine Fire Imperial Capital��s genius disciple called Qi Heng.


    Ye Yuan had an impression of this person. This person had been constantly sucking up to Xu Xing.


    But saying this to him at this time, no one felt that there was anything inappropriate.


    After all, in everyone��s eyes, Ye Yuan was the braggart who blew his own trumpet too loudly.


    No one thought that he would enter the sword formation, because Ye Yuan definitely would not treat his life as a joke.


    ��Where did this dog come from, anyhow barking here?�� Ye Yuan did not even look at Qi Heng as he said.


    Qi Heng��s expression changed and he said angrily, ��Want to say dog, you��re the dog, right?! Aren��t you wretched like a stray cur right now?��


    Ye Yuan laughed the moment he heard and said, ��Your master merely cleared the sixth level sword formation, look how you��re showing off. Since you want to lick his smelly boots so much, why don��t you dare to go challenge the sword formation yourself?��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with mocking looks. Already at this point, his mouth was still unrelenting.


    Merely cleared the sixth level sword formation?


    Right now, the ones who cleared the sixth level sword formation, one was the Ninth Firmament True God Ji Kang, the other was the Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity Xu Xing.


    Holding in contempt, it was also not your turn to look down on!


    Qi Heng sneered and said, ��Razor-tongued! Since you don��t dare to go challenge the sword formation, why haven��t you quickly scrammed yet? Making a spectacle of yourself here, your face is really thick!��


    ��Yeah, really shameless! No matter what, Xu Xing already cleared the sixth level sword formation, what about you?��


    ��Hurry up and get lost, don��t be an eyesore here! You��ll only make people look down on you more like this.��


    The moment Qi Heng spoke, quite a number of people concurred.


    No one thought that Ye Yuan dared to enter the sword formation, which was no different from courting death.


    ��When did I say that I��m not entering the sword formation?�� Ye Yuan said with a guileless look.


    Everyone was taken aback for a while and did not come back to their senses yet. It was only to see Ye Yuan pat Qi Heng��s shoulder and say nonchalantly, ��Open your eyes wide and take a look at how weak your master is!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan leaped and landed right in the sword formation.


    This scene reversed too quickly, everyone did not react to it and Ye Yuan already went in.


    After Xu Xing successfully cleared the rounds, everyone��s preconceived notion was that Ye Yuan did not dare to enter the sword formation anymore.


    But Ye Yuan went in, catching them by surprise.


    Leng Qiuling also did not react to it. It was already too late to want to stop it and she could not help having a worried look.


    When Qi Heng saw the situation, he said with a cold smile, ��Heh, this guy couldn��t stand being provoked and indeed went in to seek his doom!��


    Upon entering the sword formation, countless sword light came from all directions.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and completely did not have any intention of defending.


    Everyone was dumbfounded, entered the sword formation already and this guy actually still wanted to act cool!


    However, they did not have time to mock yet when their expressions immediately turned stiff.


    Those dense sword lights, not one actually landed on Ye Yuan��s body.


    Too relaxed!


    Too effortless!


    Just like this, Ye Yuan passed the first level sword formation without even moving a finger.


    ��This �� This is also too fake, right?�� Qi Heng said with a look of astonishment.


    ��Spatial law is a supreme law. It��s not at all surprising for him to be able to do it to this step. But the power of the sword formation at the back gets stronger and stronger. Wanting to use this kind of opportunistic method to pass the round is impossible! I reckon that next round, he��ll have to take action,�� Ji Xun said with a sullen look.


    When everyone heard that, they all came to a realization.


    But right at this time, the second level sword formation also started activating!


    Ye Yuan stood firm!


    Those sword lights still could not touch the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves!


    Ji Xun��s face immediately turned stiff there.


    His face was slapped resoundingly!


    ��Third round, he��ll definitely make a move in the third round!�� Ji Xun gritted his teeth and said.


    The second round did not have any suspense, Ye Yuan cleared it easily.


    Third round, Ye Yuan still did not move!


    ��Hahaha!��


    Everyone looked at Ji Xun with peculiar faces, laughing wildly without ceasing.


    Ji Xun��s face practically turned black like the bottom of a wok.


    He could not understand why Ye Yuan could be as steady as Mount Tai in the midst of such berserk sword lights!


    While the rest were laughing, the shock in their hearts was not any bit less.


    Were the first three rounds strong or not?


    So many dead people were lying there!


    Quite a number among them were even high-level Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan, he was just a Third Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Even if he comprehended spatial law, on what basis did he not even have to move a finger?


    These first three rounds were cleared too trivially, right?

 Chapter 1871 - The Terrifying Last Three Levels Sword Formation

    ��Continue!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, choosing to continue challenging.


    To others, this Heaven Killing Sword Formation was a life-snatching-like existence.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was not considered anything.


    Him being able to easily pass the rounds did not rely on spatial law either.


    Arriving in the Immortal Grove World was like arriving at home. As long as he released Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao��s aura, it was impossible for this sword formation to attack him.


    The Heaven Killing Sword Formation was like this, when plucking the Vermilion Bird true blood, it was also like this.


    Ye Yuan possessed the Soul Suppressing Pearl and World Suppressing Stele, two lifeblood spirit treasures. How could the traps Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laid down possibly cause harm to him?


    In the fourth level sword formation, the power suddenly increased.


    This time, Ye Yuan finally took action.


    It was only to see his fingertip move lightly. Those streaks of sword light were pushed aside effortlessly.


    Those horrifying sword lights could not get close to him at all.


    ��So strong! Ye Yuan cleared the fourth round much more leisurely than Xu Xing!��


    ��Xu Xing fused three powers of law, and there��s also the augmentation of the White Tiger true blood to be able to do it to this extent. Ye Yuan he �� based on what?��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan��s casual state, each and everyone extremely alarmed and scared.


    The current Ye Yuan did not employ the power of Heavenly Dao.


    Xu Xing fused three kinds of law powers. It looked very strong, but comprehending three kinds of law powers similarly made his comprehension speed become very slow.


    Although Xu Xing��s strength far surpassed powerhouses of the same rank after fusion, if he wanted to do it like Ye Yuan, leaping over two or three minor realms to fight the enemy, that was impossible.


    And Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao law was already comprehended to middle-stage fifth firmament. His spatial law was even comprehended to the terrifying peak initial-stage fourth firmament.


    After fusion, his combat strength was extremely formidable.


    This Heaven Killing Sword Formation did an overall evaluation. To the Third Firmament Celestial Deity Ye Yuan, it was not considered very hard for him to clear the fourth round.


    Following that was the fifth round, sixth round, Ye Yuan similarly made it through.


    When the transmission array appeared, everyone held their breaths.


    Would he choose to continue challenging?


    ��You can choose to leave now and can also choose to carry on with the challenge!�� That voice sounded out once more.


    At the far end of the grand array, the Xu Xing who originally already obtained a true god mystic treasure was very pleased with himself.


    But now, his expression was very ugly.


    He stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, hoping that he would choose to continue.


    Because he was certain that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to clear the three rounds at the back.


    The last three rounds, no one had seen it before, no one dared to go and attempt as well!


    ��Continue!�� Ye Yuan said very calmly.


    Everyone��s minds trembled, no one could have expected that Ye Yuan really dared to continue challenging.


    In order to spite Xu Xing, he did not even want his life anymore?


    One could tell and when Ye Yuan cleared the sixth round, although it was not as miserable as Xu Xing, it was also quite laborious for him.


    The three rounds at the back, the possibility that he could make it through was virtually zero!


    The seventh level difficulty did not activate immediately.


    A destructive aura gradually crept out in the space.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    The few martial artists standing closer were actually blown apart from this terrifying aura!


    The countenance of the group of powerhouses suddenly changed, hurriedly retreating.


    This seventh level sword formation��s power was actually so horrifying. A hint of aura that randomly effused out blew Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses up.


    Then the Ye Yuan in the eye of the storm, his pressure could be imagined.


    Everyone��s gaze was focused on Ye Yuan.


    ��This �� Someone is going to die! Ye Yuan overestimated his ability too much!��


    ��This is the might of an Empyrean? That boy is dead for sure!��


    ��The seventh level is already so horrifying, what will the ninth level sword formation look like?��


    ��


    The expression on everyone��s face was extremely ugly. The power of this seventh level sword formation made them understand what was called awe!


    This destructive power let them witness the power of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    Right at this time, the seventh level sword formation activated!


    Countless sword light directly engulfed Ye Yuan.


    The powerhouses outside the array formation could not see Ye Yuan��s figure at all.


    ��Hahaha �� idiot, see if you still don��t die this time!�� When Xu Xing saw this scene, he laughed wildly without ceasing.


    A hint of relief actually flashed across Ji Kang��s face.


    He was rejoicing, rejoicing that he did not go and challenge the seventh level difficulty!


    Ji Kang weighed it over, if he challenged the seventh level sword formation, he would definitely die!


    Time slowly trickled by. Gradually, the sword lights receded.


    Everyone��s pupils shrunk, looking at that figure inside the sword formation in disbelief.


    ��This �� This is impossible! Such terrifying power, how can he possibly survive?�� Xu Xing��s eyes were full of disbelief.


    He completely never thought that he could see Ye Yuan. Under such horrifying sword lights, Ye Yuan would not be able to leave behind even a corpse.


    But now, Ye Yuan was standing there perfectly fine.


    It was just that there were many more wounds on his body.


    Ye Yuan stood there without moving, both eyes tightly shut.


    On the Frostcounter Sword, there was fresh blood dripping from the tip of the sword non-stop.


    Ye Yuan��s state was clearly not very good, but his heaving chest told everyone that he was fine.


    ��How is this possible? He actually made it through the seventh level, it doesn��t make sense!��


    ��Could it be that his talent is even greater than Xu Xing��s?��


    ��But �� even Lord Ji Kang didn��t have the confidence to challenge the seventh level sword formation!��


    ��


    A series of exclamations sounded out everywhere. Ye Yuan��s performance seriously exceeded their expectations too much.


    Originally thought that Ye Yuan was just a Third Firmament Celestial Deity, reputation undeserved, unable to even pass the first three levels if he entered the sword formation.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually cleared the seventh level in one go.


    This kind of horrifying talent gave them a tremendous shock.


    In a twinkle, the eighth level sword formation activated.


    The power this time was several times more terrifying than the seventh level!


    Xu Xing cursed Ye Yuan to die non-stop in his heart. He did not believe that Ye Yuan could even make it through the eighth level.


    But, when the sword formation receded, Ye Yuan was still standing with his sword raised, no movements at all.


    And the place where he was standing was identical to before, without shifting in the slightest.


    Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on here?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan cleared the eighth level without moving at all?


    The ninth level sword formation activated. That horrifying pressure made even Ji Kang, this Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse, feel asphyxiated.


    Too terrifying!


    ��Je je �� rather interesting!�� Inside the sea of consciousness, Empyrean Devilfeather suddenly started laughing strangely.


    Ji Xun��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Yeah! This boy has always been very odd!��


    Empyrean Devilfeather smiled and said, ��Can��t you perceive it?��


    ��Perceive what?��


    ��This boy is comprehending on the sword!��


    ��C-Comprehending on the sword? Comprehending inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation? What kind of joke are you making!�� Ji Xun said in disbelief.


    ��Heh, if my conjectures are right, after the ninth level sword formation ends, he��ll still maintain this posture. The eighth and ninth level difficulty, he never moved at all.�� Empyrean Devilfeather��s words were astonishing.


    Ji Xun got a big shock and said in disbelief, ��How is that possible!��


    Empyrean Devilfeather smiled and said, ��If I didn��t see wrongly, the limits of this brat��s strength is the seventh level! The two rounds at the back, he didn��t use his own strength to clear them at all!��

 Chapter 1872 - : Stellar War Banner

    ��Not relying on his own strength? But what kind of power can block such a terrifying sword formation?�� Ji Xun was really astounded.


    Empyrean Devilfeather smiled and said, ��Most likely �� this boy has deep ties with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove!��


    Ji Xun was startled inwardly, having a feeling of suddenly seeing the light.


    Right at this time, the sword lights receded. Ye Yuan��s figure appeared once more and it was still that posture.


    Everyone held their breaths, they felt that something big was going to happen!


    ��E-Empyrean spirit treasure! He��s going to get an empyrean spirit treasure!��


    Before this, no one would have expected that Ye Yuan could actually clear the ninth level sword formation.


    But since he made it through, that meant that Ye Yuan would obtain an empyrean spirit treasure.


    This was something that drove countless people nuts!


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, the sword intent in his body bursting out, virtually turning corporeal.


    His Sword Dao law went up another new stage, reaching late-stage fifth firmament!


    Just as Empyrean Devilfeather surmised, he had been continuously comprehending on the sword previously.


    ��Congratulations on clearing the Heaven Killing Sword Formation. Now, you shall obtain an empyrean spirit treasure �� Stellar War Banner!��


    A beam of light fell from the sky and landed in Ye Yuan��s hand, turning into a small black flag.


    The small flag gave off intense undulations, making all of the martial artists�� eyes become heated.


    Ye Yuan shook his wrist and the small flag immediately disappeared.


    Following that, he slowly walked towards the transmission array.


    Light flashed, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared on the other end of the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    Swoosh!


    Straight away, an afterimage barged into the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    When everyone reacted to it, it was already too late, each and everyone extremely remorseful and angry.


    ��Damn it, got beat to it by that guy!�� A few True God powerhouses stomped their feet.


    Ye Yuan already made it through the Heaven Killing Sword Formation and entered the other side of the sword formation.


    Now, whoever successfully clears the formation first, would have hopes of snatching an empyrean spirit treasure.


    At such a crucial time, it was naturally the earlier one went over, the better.


    And the first person to challenge the formation was precisely Ji Xun.


    The grand array was already activated. The first three rounds were nothing to him at all.


    The moment Ye Yuan��s figure appeared, the atmosphere on the other end of the grand array immediately changed.


    ��Xu Xing, I��ve tried this grand array out. It��s merely thus. You don��t even dare to challenge the seventh level, truly weak!�� Ye Yuan did not seem to feel the change in atmosphere at all, looking at Xu Xing as he said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Xu Xing��s expression turned stiff. Recalling the big talk that he said previously, he wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    Ye Yuan challenging this Heaven Killing Sword Formation crushed him until he was badly battered all over!


    Xu Xing could not figure out just how Ye Yuan made it through.


    At this time, Xu Xing suddenly felt his shoulder being patted twice by someone. Turning around to take a look, who was it if not Ji Kang?


    Suddenly, he came to his senses.


    So what if Ye Yuan cleared the Heaven Killing Sword Formation?


    A man��s wealth was his own ruin by causing another��s greed!


    Ye Yuan became everyone��s public enemy by obtaining the empyrean spirit treasure.


    He swept a glance over and discovered that everyone was staring at Ye Yuan like hungry wolves.


    ��Heh, so what? Facing imminent death, you still have the energy to mess with me right now.�� Xu Xing said with a sneer.


    Ji Kang looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Hand over the empyrean spirit treasure and I can make it painless for you.��


    ��Ji Kang, you want to pocket the empyrean spirit treasure alone?��


    At this time, several more late-stage True God Realm powerhouses closed in, their expressions unfriendly.


    Ji Kang��s expression was calm as he said coolly, ��The few of you dare to go against my Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital?��


    A True God Realm powerhouse said, ��Hahaha �� Ji Kang, are you telling a joke? Inside a mystic realm, you��re using imperial great imperial capital to scare us? As long as we obtain the empyrean spirit treasure, who dare say that we can��t break through to the Empyrean Realm? At that time, who would mind your Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital?��


    Facing an empyrean spirit treasure, no one could maintain composure.


    Ji Kang��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��Just the likes of you few also want to snatch the empyrean spirit treasure from me? Didn��t you all discover that after passing the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, the realm suppression is no longer there?��


    Bang!


    On Ji Kang��s body, terrifying world power suddenly bloomed, making the faces of the group of True God powerhouses change.


    Ninth Firmament True God!


    This was a real Ninth Firmament True God!


    This Heaven Killing Sword Formation was a watershed. Clearing the sword formation, it seemed that everything returned to normal.


    Recovering his true strength, Ji Kang��s advantage became too great.


    These True God powerhouses, even Eighth Firmament True God, were not his match either.


    That True God Realm powerhouse previously continued shouting, ��We have so many of us, scared of him for what? He��s Ninth Firmament True God Realm, not an Empyrean Realm powerhouse either. If we join hands, he might not be our match!��


    Ji Kang��s gaze was scorching. Looking at the few True God powerhouses under Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s command, he said, ��What about you guys? Are you going to deal with me together with them as well?��


    Those few people exchanged glances, all hesitating.


    Their current identities were very awkward.


    To say that they were not moved by the empyrean spirit treasure, that was false.


    But, once they took action, then there was no more path of retreat.


    Bang!


    Right at this time, another terrifying burst of world power suddenly erupted, and could actually contend with Ji Kang��s aura!


    Another Ninth Firmament True God!


    That Ninth Firmament True God said, ��Heh heh, Ji Kang, it��s true that you��re from the Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital, but you��re merely a Ninth Firmament True God. What right do you have to make them all withdraw? Empyrean spirit treasures are obtained by the fated. Your Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital is also too overbearing, right?��


    On Ji Kang��s face, a visible change in countenance finally appeared.


    ��Yang Yidao! Turns out that you concealed your strength!�� Ji Kang��s pupils constricted as he said.


    The others were all extremely surprised. This Yang Yidao was a powerhouse among itinerant cultivators and had always appeared in front of people as a Seventh Firmament True God.


    But now, he actually directly reached the Ninth Firmament True God Realm!


    Clearly, he concealed his strength, deceiving everyone��s eyes and ears.


    Yang Yidao smiled smugly and said, ��Ji Kang, now, does this Yang have the qualifications to vie with you over this empyrean spirit treasure?��


    Finished talking, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Boy, your talent is very good. Dying here is too pitiful. Hand the empyrean spirit treasure over to me, and I��ll guarantee your life!��


    Ji Kang��s gaze turned sharp and he said, ��Ye Yuan, as long as you hand the empyrean spirit treasure to me, I��ll bring you into Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital and groom you seriously! With your talent, you can definitely astound the world in the future!��


    Ye Yuan��s talent, everyone saw it with their own eyes, this could not be faked.


    In their hearts, they had actually long acknowledged Ye Yuan.


    It was just that under this kind of circumstances, a man��s heart was incomprehensible, what use was there even if one��s talent was any higher?


    That Eighth Firmament True God powerhouse previously said, ��Humph! Is Ninth Firmament True God very impressive? The bullshit that the two of you said is like farting, really take Ye Yuan to be a fool? Ye Yuan, hand the empyrean spirit treasure to me, with the few of us joining hands, we��ll guarantee your life! I, Zuo Pan, am absolutely a man of my word and can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!��


    For a moment, these three major powers did not give way in the slightest, all coercing Ye Yuan to hand over the empyrean spirit treasure.


    The Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly laughed.


    ��I say, are you guys thinking too much? When did I say that I was going to hand the empyrean spirit treasure over to you guys?�� Ye Yuan��s words were full of ridicule.

 Chapter 1873 - Merely Thus

    Yang Yidao laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Not handing over? Did you eat the wrong medicine? Just the likes of you, a Third Firmament Celestial Deity, can defend the empyrean spirit treasure?��


    In front of a bunch of True God powerhouses, Ye Yuan actually said that he was not handing over the empyrean spirit treasure, it was really very brave.


    Forget about Yang Yidao, Ji Kang, this kind of Ninth Firmament True God peerless powerhouse, even First Firmament True God was also not what a rookie like Ye Yuan could resist.


    Xu Xing��s contest with Ye Yuan was merely children playing house in these big shots�� eyes.


    They had the potential to be a powerhouse, but it did not mean that they were powerhouses right now.


    This kind of stubbornness and pride that was utterly unjustifiable would only make Ye Yuan lose his life.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Go and get it yourselves if you have the capabilities. Bullying a junior here and you��re still puffed up with pride, each and every one of you is really shameless.��


    Ji Kang smiled coldly and said, ��Boy, in this world, strength reigns supreme! Without strength, you��re not fit to possess treasures!��


    Yang Yidao also laughed loudly and said, ��What is face? Can it be eaten as rice? Can it increase strength? Boy, you��re still too young!��


    Zuo Pan was clearly not that patient, snorting coldly as he said, ��Enough nonsense! Boy, not handing over the empyrean spirit treasure, I��ll kill you first!��


    Originally, the group of True God powerhouses was ready to jump at each other��s throats. But at this time, the spearheads were all aimed at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan not being willing to hand over the empyrean spirit treasure, no matter how they quibbled, it was all for naught as well.


    ��This boy wouldn��t have lost his mind, right? Empyrean spirit treasure, he has the fate to obtain it, but doesn��t have the life to use it!��


    ��Can��t understand what this boy is thinking. If it were me, I��d have long thrown away the empyrean spirit treasure.��


    ��This thing is a hot potato, but he actually can��t even understand the situation. Reckon that he��s dead for sure.��


    ��


    Not scared of blowing matters up when watching a show. Those Celestial Deity powerhouses and weaker True God powerhouses all felt that Ye Yuan was too unwise.


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, the Stellar War Banner appeared in his hand. Waves of powerful undulations spread out.


    Feeling this powerful undulation, the eyes of Ji Kang and the rest revealed incomparably fervent looks.


    ��That��s it, this is more like it! It��s no use being stubborn, hurry up and hand it over!�� Ji Kang smiled and said.


    Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan still submitted in the end.


    Facing so many True God powerhouses, no one could be unyielding.


    Who knew that a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and he said coolly, ��The Stellar War Banner is right here. If you have the capabilities, come over and take it!��


    Everyone was taken aback, not expecting that Ye Yuan actually put on the posture of picking a fight.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this time, a figure suddenly dashed out behind Ye Yuan.


    The faces of Ji Kang and the rest all changed. They did not expect that there would actually be someone who struck first to gain the advantage!


    The auras of Ji Kang, Yang Yidao, Zuo Pan, and the rest all suddenly erupted, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, the small flag in Ye Yuan��s hand suddenly became bigger!


    The sky suddenly turned dark, stars dotting the sky.


    Ye Yuan gripped the Stellar War Banner with one hand and suddenly waved. Countless starlight suddenly coalesced onto the black flag.


    A terrifying to the extreme aura suddenly erupted, catching that person who sneaked attack by surprise.


    Bang!


    The person who ambushed directly flew out a thousand feet away, fresh blood spurting wildly along the way. When he fell to the ground, there was not one unscathed spot on his body.


    The figures of Ji Kang and the rest abruptly stopped, looking at this scene in tremendous alarm and terror.


    ��Is �� Is this the power of an empyrean spirit treasure? So powerful!�� Ji Kang said with an astounded look.


    Yang Yidao��s expression was very ugly as he said, ��Li Zhu is Sixth Firmament True God, to actually not even be able to block the power of one strike from the Stellar War Banner!��


    ��He just obtained the Stellar War Banner and doesn��t have time to refine at all! Furthermore, he��s only Third Firmament Celestial Deity, so why is he able to unleash such terrifying power?�� Zuo Pan was full of puzzlement.


    The person who sneaked attacked Ye Yuan just now was called Li Zhu, a True God powerhouse among the itinerant cultivators, his strength not weak.


    When Ye Yuan and the three factions were disputing, he had long already planned on secretly ambushing.


    He found the best angle to sneak attack and wanted to snatch away the Stellar War Banner as soon as he killed Ye Yuan, and then escape.


    It was just that he never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan beat him half-death with just one move.


    Ye Yuan looked at the few people with a smile that was not a smile and said coolly, ��Why aren��t you rushing up anymore? Don��t you all want the Stellar War Banner? It��s right here, so come and get it!��


    The expressions of Ji Kang and the rest were very ugly. Ye Yuan this fellow was really provoking without any scruples!


    ��Boy, if you want to seek death, then we��ll fulfill your wish! Yang Yidao, Zuo Pan, we��ll attack together! This old man wants to see whether or not this boy has three heads and six arms!�� Ji Kang said in a cold voice.


    Yang Yidao and the rest all nodded and said, ��Okay! Kill this brat first, and then we��ll slowly settle things among ourselves after!��


    Clearly, these few people reached a consensus and were going to join hands to deal with Ye Yuan.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One powerful aura after another suddenly released, rushing over toward Ye Yuan. Heaven and earth changed colors.


    Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, Fang Tian and the rest had deathly pale complexions.


    The powerful undulations coming from the direction of the Godsfall Mountain Range made the entire world shudder!


    This surpassed the power of a small world!


    They all, these people who lived in a small world, had never experienced such terrifying power before at all.


    In their eyes, this kind of power was sufficient to destroy the Immortal Grove World!


    ��No wonder Ye Yuan said that even he had no confidence this time. Just what bunch of monsters entered this time?!�� Fang Tian said in shock.


    ��Could it be that �� Ye Yuan is currently fighting with these monsters? This �� Just what level has he reached now?�� Skydistant said.


    An incomparably powerful Heavenly Dao power was injected into the Stellar War Banner frenziedly.


    The Stellar War Banner suddenly expanded a little more again.


    The skies turned dim, motes of stars dotting the sky, converging onto the Stellar War Banner once more.


    Ye Yuan suddenly waved the war banner, an even more powerful force than before suddenly gushed out, colliding together with the few great True God powerhouses.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Space tore apart, the earth split open!


    Ji Kang, Yang Yidao, and the rest were directly blasted flying away by this tremendous force.


    Of course, facing such terrifying power, Ye Yuan also suffered a considerable backlash.


    But this was nothing. Right now, everyone��s gazes that looked towards him was akin to seeing ghosts.


    A Third Firmament Celestial Deity, carrying an empyrean spirit treasure, overpowered several Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses.


    This battle achievement simply made their heads explode!


    ��How is this possible? How in the world did he do it?��


    ��Even if it��s an initial-stage True God Realm powerhouse, it��s also impossible to rely on an empyrean spirit treasure to resist the teaming up of Lord Ji Kang and Lord Yang Yidao they all, right?��


    ��Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was a soft persimmon, who knew that this fellow was a diamond!��


    ��


    Ji Kang and the rest forcefully endured the upheaval of their innards, using extremely shocked gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    The strength that Ye Yuan just displayed was practically the same as theirs!


    No, it should be that it was even a notch higher than theirs!


    Because Ye Yuan blocked the few of their combined attacks by himself!


    This �� How was this possible?


    ��Don��t each and every one of you guys crack yourselves up to be powerhouses? Doesn��t strength reign supreme? This is your strength? It��s also merely thus!�� Ye Yuan said with a mocking look.

 Chapter 1874 - Tang Yan

    Ye Yuan��s mocking voice spread to the surroundings, sounding incomparably arrogant.


    But currently, no one felt that he was arrogant at all.


    Ye Yuan who was wielding the Stellar War Banner absolutely had the qualifications to show contempt for these few mighty peak True God powerhouses!


    Rather, it was the Xu Xing in the distance who was currently already frightened until his complexion was pale.


    Coming along the way, he completely looked down on Ye Yuan.


    All the way until Ye Yuan cleared the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, he finally saw Ye Yuan��s terrifying potential and strength.


    At that time, he already viewed Ye Yuan as a formidable foe.


    But now, he was afraid!


    Ye Yuan who possessed the Stellar War Banner actually fought to a draw with Ji Kang, Yang Yidao, and the rest.


    Killing him was merely a matter of moving his fingertips.


    Ye Yuan surveyed the four directions, waved the Stellar War Banner in his hand, and said with a grin, ��The Stellar War Banner is right here. If anyone wants it, you��re welcome to come and get it.��


    At this time, who still dared to come and snatch the Stellar War Banner?


    Unless they were tired of living.


    Ji Kang and the rest all had grim faces, feeling greatly disgraced.


    Two Ninth Firmament True Gods and an Eighth Firmament True God joined hands and could actually only fight to a draw with a Third Firmament Celestial Deity.


    This was simply a comical outcome.


    But they knew that Ye Yuan indeed had the qualifications to possess the empyrean spirit treasure!


    ��Humph! Let��s go!�� Ji Kang gave a cold snort and brought everyone towards the next mountain peak.


    The empyrean spirit treasures here were definitely not just one. Since Ye Yuan��s strength was so formidable, fighting to the bitter end here was clearly not wise.


    When Ji Kang and the rest left, Yang Yidao and the rest also left one by one.


    With all these heavyweights leaving, the others who dared to provoke Ye Yuan even just slightly also left.


    Inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, Ji Xun was still clearing the rounds.


    Ye Yuan found a place himself and started meditating.


    Previously, he gleaned considerable gains inside the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, making his Sword Dao law improve greatly, already reaching late-stage fifth firmament. He had to comprehend things properly.


    The situation was good for him, Leng Qiuling and Gu Tianque still had not cleared the challenge, so he could just leisurely wait.


    But right at this time, a young man suddenly came before Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said with a frown, ��Is there something?��


    ��Huhu, nothing. It��s just that I see Brother Ye��s strength is astonishing and want to come and get acquainted. I��m Tang Yan, an itinerant cultivator,�� the young man said with cupped fists.


    Ye Yuan had some impression of this Tang Yan. Previously, when challenging the Heaven Killing Sword Formation, he passed the first three rounds rather easily. At that time, it even surprised Ye Yuan.


    However, he did not choose to continue challenging but directly came over through the transmission array.


    Although this Tang Yan was an itinerant cultivator, his strength was definitely rather uncommon.


    It was just that he was different from Xu Xing and Zhuo Han. He was very low-profile.


    ��So, it��s Brother Tang. Nice to meet you!��


    Ye Yuan had always returned tenfold when others showed him respect.


    This Tang Yan greeted with a smiling face and was very humble, so Ye Yuan naturally would not refuse.


    Tang Yan smiled and said, ��Actually, in the Door of Vermilion Bird, I already saw Brother Ye take action. At that time, it really gave me a fright! To be able to fuse Sword Dao law and spatial law to such a degree, this Tang has rarely seen it in my life!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��You��re too kind. Brother Tang��s strength is likely not as simple as it seems either, right?��


    Tang Yan smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, ��Heh, this Tang feels like I have some ability when I examine my own conscience, but compared to Brother Ye, it��s far from it. Not afraid of Brother Ye laughing, this Tang was also brimming with confidence before coming. But now, it��s difficult to dismount a tiger after getting on its back. I��m an itinerant cultivator without anyone to depend on. I wonder if �� I can follow Brother Ye? Being a follower is also good.��


    Tang Yan said it euphemistically, but actually, putting it bluntly, he wanted to find a backer.


    The fight now was no longer what he could take part in.


    Many itinerant cultivators were all harboring the idea of fishing in muddled waters before coming in.


    After all, True God powerhouses must be suppressed to Celestial Deity Realm too.


    But now, everyone recovered their strength. They all, these Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, became awkward.


    Could not leave if they wanted to, also could not enter if they wanted to.


    Although Ye Yuan was a Celestial Deity Realm too, right now, no one would regard him as a Celestial Deity Realm.


    Tang Yan coming to find him to be his backer was quite normal.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yan with a scorching look, wanting to see something from his eyes.


    But, Tang Yan had an honest look, his eyes very calm, unable to see anything at all.


    ��Huhu, the mystic realm at the back will likely be even more terrifying than this Heaven Killing Sword Formation. This Ye even has difficulties protecting myself, let alone talk about protecting Brother Tang. Apologies,�� Ye Yuan said and cupped his fists.


    Musing for a moment, Ye Yuan still rejected it.


    He was not some rookie who just made his debut in the world. The logic of a man��s heart was incomprehensible, he still understood it.


    Those who entered the Immortal Grove World, which one did not do it for the treasures here?


    There were so many people on this trip, who Ye Yuan could trust was also just a Leng Qiuling.


    Even Gu Tianque, he would not be completely reassured too.


    Now, a stranger requested to be brought along, how could he possibly set his mind at ease and bring him by his side?


    Actually, what Ye Yuan was most worried about was not Ji Kang these people.


    Making use of the Stellar War Banner was just for the sake of providing a cover. Ye Yuan could sufficiently deal with Ji Kang and the rest by utilizing the power of Heavenly Dao.


    What Ye Yuan was really worried about was Empyrean powerhouses!


    The words that he said to Fang Tian and the rest also stemmed from precisely this!


    Saying that Ye Yuan was invincible in the Immortal Grove World, that was limited as well.


    Right now, the Immortal Grove World recovered quite a bit of primordial energy. But it was still a little too forceful to want to deal with Empyrean powerhouses.


    Once Empyrean powerhouses came to blows in the Immortal Grove World, they might very likely fight until this small world fell to pieces.


    Although Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was just an Empyrean too, he was not an ordinary Empyrean after all.


    He was much stronger than ordinary Empyreans!


    Who could guarantee that there were no Empyrean powerhouses who suppressed their realms and quietly sneaked inside?


    There was not the slightest flaw on this Tang Yan��s body.


    But Ye Yuan felt that no flaw was the biggest flaw!


    When he scrutinized Tang Yan, Tang Yan��s performance was too calm.


    One had to know, he exhibited the power of peak True God Realm.


    A merely Celestial Deity Realm would actually be completely indifferent.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not deny if Tang Yan had a firm mind and remained unmoved.


    But he did not want to take the risk.


    Tang Yan let out a sigh and said, ��It was this Tang who was impetuous. I hope that Brother Ye doesn��t take offense. Farewell!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.


    At this time, light flashed and Ji Xun��s figure appeared.


    Swoosh!


    Virtually without pausing in the slightest, Ji Xun urged his movement technique to the limit, speeding towards the distance.


    Ji Xun only cleared three rounds, the first three rounds were nothing to him.


    Inside the array formation, the situation over this side, he saw it all.


    So he chose to flee straight away.


    Ye Yuan was long waiting for this moment. Laughing coldly, the Stellar War Banner in his hand activated once more.


    A terrifying stellar power suddenly erupted, smashing over towards Ji Xun.


    Bang!


    Ji Xun spewed a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, but his figure swept away even faster!


    ��Ye Yuan! Our enmity is irreconcilable!��


    Far away, came Ji Xun��s angry roar.


    But his aura was very unstable. Clearly, he sustained heavy injuries.


    Everyone looked at this scene in terror, silent like cicadas in winter.


    An exalted Eighth Firmament True God powerhouse, the lord of a city, ran away the moment he saw Ye Yuan.


    This situation was also unprecedented.

 Chapter 1875 - Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean

    ��It��s so quiet here. It��s likely not a good place. Ye Yuan, be more careful.�� The surroundings were very quiet, making a foreboding premonition arise in Gu Tianque��s heart.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��This place is extremely heavy with Yin energy, there are likely many evil abominations that come and go.��


    In reality, Ye Yuan was not worried.


    Dustless told him that this place was called Asura Ghost Domain, the place where Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove reared ghosts.


    In this place, many powerful Ghost Dao powerhouses were being raised. There might even be an Empyrean Realm powerhouse existence.


    But, with Dustless around, Ye Yuan was not worried at all.


    It had already been close to a month��s time since coming out of the Heaven Killing Sword Formation.


    Along the way, the few people saw quite a few dead bodies, but the three of them were safe and sound.


    All this was naturally thanks to Ye Yuan.


    To say that Gu Tianque did not have any ideas about the Stellar War Banner, that was impossible.


    But the current Ye Yuan was already not the Celestial Deity Realm martial artist who could be bullied by anyone.


    His combat strength approached Ninth Firmament True God!


    Even if he had any ideas, Gu Tianque could only stifle it in his heart.


    The three of them gradually penetrated deep into the Asura Ghost Domain. Suddenly, a series of fierce fighting sounds came from in front and they could not help becoming alert.


    ��Yang Yidao, finish off these ghosts first, otherwise, no one can think about getting the Seven-Colored Aegirine!�� Ji Kang said with a furious roar.


    The world power in Yang Yidao��s body erupted and he was currently locked in a tangled warfare with a peak rank six ghost.


    These ghosts were all very hard to tangle with. Practically every one of them knew the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, their strength exceedingly formidable!


    Ji Kang��s pressure was tremendous, dealing with several ghosts.


    The others also suffered heavy losses under the encirclement of a group of ghosts.


    One of the Ghost Dao powerhouses among them roared angrily, ��You all, these damn humans, to actually dare have designs on the Seven-Colored Aegirine! You all deserve to die!��


    The number of Ghost Dao powerhouses were too many, the humans�� situation was clearly disadvantageous.


    Hearing these people��s conversation, a hint of glimmer flashed across Gu Tianque��s eyes.


    ��Seven-Colored Aegirine! It��s actually the Seven-Colored Aegirine!��


    Ye Yuan had a look of puzzlement as he said, ��Senior, what��s Seven-Colored Aegirine?��


    Gu Tianque looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, ��Yo actually don��t know about the Seven-Colored Aegirine?��


    In his view, with Ye Yuan��s identity, how could he possibly not know about the Seven-Colored Aegirine.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback, secretly thinking that it was not good.


    The reason why Gu Tianque was very courteous toward him was that he was wary of his identity.


    He blurted out just now but did not think about this. It likely made Gu Tianque produce a trace of suspicion already.


    ��Oh, I heard people mention it before in the past. But as for the specifics of what effects it has, I don��t know.�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    A hint of suspicion flashed across Gu Tianque��s eyes, but he still explained, ��Seven-Colored Aegirine is a specialty product of the Heavenspan Mountain. Furthermore, it only appears in the Empyrean-level area! However, this thing is too rare, one piece might not appear in a million years. If a True God Realm can acquire a piece of Seven-Colored Aegirine, stepping into the realm of Empyrean will be right around the corner! This thing, even to Empyrean Realm powerhouses, it��s also immensely useful.��


    Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked when he heard it, able to let a True God break through to the Empyrean Realm. It was not surprising that these people were crazy about it.


    Clearly knew that they could not beat these Ghost Dao powerhouses, but refused to retreat no matter what.


    ��Ye Yuan, this Seven-Colored Aegirine, we must obtain it!�� A hint of fierce glint flashed across Gu Tianque��s eyes.


    This was a massive open space. Behind the Ghost Dao powerhouses, there was a deep dark cave.


    If there were no accidents, the Seven-Colored Aegirine should be inside that cave.


    Swoosh!


    Gu Tianque��s figure moved, speeding over toward that cave.


    This sudden turn of events naturally alarmed the group of powerhouses.


    ��Gu Tianque, you dare!�� Ji Kang howled.


    ��Gu Tianque, you deserve to die!�� Yang Yidao also roared angrily.


    Gu Tianque��s actions made everyone extremely indignant.


    They fought fiercely for half a day. Yet, they did not expect that they actually let Gu Tianque find an opening.


    However, Gu Tianque��s speed was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, he tunneled into that cave.


    The leader of the Ghost Dao powerhouses shouted angrily, ��Ghostwind, you go in and kill him! The Seven-Colored Aegirine absolutely can��t allow others to take a share!��


    ��Yes!�� That Ghostwind received the order and also tunneled into the cave.


    The moment Ghostwind left, the pressure on Ji Kang��s side reduced significantly.


    ��Ye Yuan, this ���� Leng Qiuling also did not expect that Gu Tianque was so decisive, and was actually at a loss on what to do for a moment.


    There was no idea what kind of existence inside that cave. She was rather worried about Gu Tianque��s safety.


    Ye Yuan did not move and just said, ��Wait and see first. Those people who concealed their strength will likely reveal their fox tails soon as well.��


    Sure enough, the leader of the Ghost Dao powerhouses suddenly howled loudly at this time and said, ��Into formation! Eradicate all these people for me!��


    Woo! Woo!


    All of a sudden, Yin wind howled, terrifying evil ghost power surged out.


    When Ji Kang and the others saw this scene, each and every one of them turned deathly pale.


    Those late-stage rank six Ghost Dao powerhouses all fired out mysterious and unfathomable seals. A terrifying aura condensed and formed.


    The Ghost Dao leader roared angrily, ��Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, condense!��


    Roar!


    An enormous Ghost Dao powerhouse condensed and formed!


    The gloomy and cold aura coming off his body virtually made space become solid.


    Ji Kang��s pupils constricted, his face white as a sheet as he cried out in shock, ��Ghost Empyrean! G-Ghost Dao Heavenly Empyrean!��


    The Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean held a curved blade made out of no idea what kind of material. A pair of deep eyes swept past, bringing everyone a feeling of death.


    The Ghost Dao leader immediately knelt down and said, ��Lord Ghost Empyrean, these people cast their covetous eyes on the Seven-Colored Aegirine. Your Excellency, please take action to punish!��


    ��Those who covet the Seven-Colored Aegirine, die!�� The Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean practically squeezed these few words out of his throat, incomparably ear-piercing.


    All of a sudden, the Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean cleaved a blade out, the places that it passed through, space fragmented!


    The violent spatial storm brought out a massive tempest vortex. It was as if it was going to devour everything.


    The countenance of Ji Kang and the rest suddenly changed, figures retreating explosively.


    But, while he was fast, the Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s blade was faster!


    This Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean was a true Empyrean-level powerhouse, his strength terrifying to the extreme.


    But right at this time, two unbelievably powerful auras suddenly erupted among the human powerhouses.


    Two clouds of black energy rose to the sky, the power was actually not much weaker than the Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean!


    Another two Empyrean powerhouses!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Two streams of black energy fired out, directly clashing together with the Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s blade.


    The Immortal Grove World��s space was like paper, shredding into pieces by these three powerful to the extreme attacks.


    A fiend race Empyrean powerhouse laughed strangely and said, ��Je je, even thought that I could conceal my strength until Old Fart Immortal Grove��s palace. Didn��t expect that I was forced out here!��


    The other fiend race Empyrean said, ��Old Fart Immortal Grove is indeed well-deserving of being a peerless powerhouse capable of contending with Lord Jiu Shang. Already dead until like this and he can actually still summon out such a terrifying Ghost Dao powerhouse!��


    These two were actually both fiend race��s Empyrean powerhouses!


    The three powerful attacks gradually dissipated. Space recovered bit by bit.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene, expression being ugly to the extreme.


    The thing that he was most worried about indeed still happened!

 Chapter 1876 - Attracting Firepower

    ��E-Empyrean powerhouse!��


    Escaping a calamity by a fluke, Ji Kang and the rest were not the least bit happy.


    The unexpected appearance of fiend race Empyreans disrupted all of their plans.


    They thought that similarly Empyrean powerhouses, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s abode should not have too great an attraction to Empyrean powerhouses.


    This place was dangerous, but the benefits obtained might not be a lot.


    This kind of thing was an arduous but fruitless task to Empyrean powerhouses.


    Hence, no one thought that there would be Empyrean powerhouses who enter.


    But now, two Empyrean powerhouses appeared all at once.


    When the Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean saw these two mighty fiend race Empyrean powerhouses, he also had a solemn look on his face.


    ��Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, is it? The Seven-Colored Aegirine belongs to the two of us, you don��t have objections anymore, right?�� The fiend race Empyrean said.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean gave a fierce howl and said, ��The Seven-Colored Aegirine can only be possessed by Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s successor! If you all want it, you must kill me!��


    The fiend race Empyrean laughed loudly and said, ��There��s no choice then. Eymond, attack together and dispose of him!��


    Two great fiend race Empyreans took a stride out, space trembled from it.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean was not the least bit afraid, clashing together with the two great Empyrean powerhouses.


    The exchange of Empyrean powerhouses fought until space was reduced to fragments.


    Those weaker Celestial Deity powerhouses were directly buried in oblivion by the air billows that flowed out.


    How could Ji Kang and the rest still dare to remain in the vicinity, with each and every one running far away.


    Immortal Grove World��s space was like shattered glass, spreading further and further.


    The Immortal Grove World was plunged into an abyss of misery!


    Far away, Ye Yuan��s heart was dripping blood.


    The Immortal Grove World��s every blade of grass and every tree, he could feel it clearly.


    In the current Immortal Grove World, mountains and rivers were crumbling, blood flowing like rivers.


    Countless lower realms were already disintegrated and torn by dissension in the midst of this great battle.


    ��I can��t let them continue fighting anymore!��


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth, took a step out, and stepped right into the battlefield.


    Three mighty Empyrean powerhouses spanning across in the middle, no one could enter that cave at all.


    This figure that suddenly appeared made everyone get a big surprise.


    Ji Kang��s gaze turned intent and he cried out in shock, ��It��s Ye Yuan! Does this boy want to court death? Those are Empyrean powerhouses!��


    ��Heh, an ant who��s blind and reckless also wants to obtain the Seven-Colored Aegirine, to go hell!��


    Eymond gave a savage laugh and suddenly threw a punch out. A terrifying ball of black energy shattered the void and fired toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan just felt like the end of the world had arrived. That horrifying power made his fleshy body fall apart.


    Empyrean powerhouses were too strong!


    ��Stellar War Banner! Divine Vestige Space!��


    Ye Yuan yelled out, injecting the power of Heavenly Dao frenziedly into the Stellar War Banner.


    At the same time, he opened up the Divine Vestige Space!


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes were icy-cold, not carrying the slightest emotion.


    The power of the Stellar War Banner could virtually sweep across True God Realms. But facing an Empyrean powerhouse, it was somewhat inadequate to look at.


    But Ye Yuan was simply a crawling bug in Eymond��s eyes, he did not pay attention to him at all.


    The majority of his focus was placed on Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean.


    This punch did not use his full strength.


    Bang!


    The black energy broke through the Stellar War Banner, the residual force slammed completely onto the Divine Vestige Space.


    Those countless blue patterns directly fell apart to pieces.


    Ye Yuan��s figure was also blasted out of the Divine Vestige Space by this punch.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Ye Yuan spewed fresh blood wildly, but he did not hesitate. With another flash, he flew straight into the cave.


    ��Mn? A Celestial Deity Realm boy received a punch of mine, and he actually didn��t die!�� Eymond said in shock.


    Not just him, Ji Kang, Yang Yidao, and the rest, were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    Ye Yuan actually blocked an Empyrean powerhouse��s attack!


    Although Eymond was not serious with this attack, if it were them, they would definitely be blasted into dregs.


    But Ye Yuan actually forcefully blocked it!


    Not only did he block it, he even had leftover strength to barge into the cave.


    They discovered that ever since entering this mystic realm, Ye Yuan refreshed their understanding time and again.


    From a Third Firmament Celestial Deity that was weaker until he could not be weaker, to killing Zhuo Han, then to humiliating Xu Xing, then to forcefully resisting three peak Third Firmament powerhouses.


    Now, he could actually even block an Empyrean powerhouse��s attack. It was simply inconceivable!


    ��Qiao Yuan, Eymond, you two fools, why haven��t you quickly chased after?! This boy��s strength rivals Ninth Firmament True God, the people inside aren��t his match!�� At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly bellowed wildly at the two great fiend race Empyreans.


    Qiao Yuan��s brows furrowed. Looking over at that person, he frowned and said, ��You know me?��


    That person had an indignant appearance and said in a great rage, ��Your Father is Devilfeather! Stop being long-winded, hurry up and go chase! When you see that boy, kill without amnesty!��


    This person was none other than precisely Ji Xun who was seriously injured by Ye Yuan and escaped.


    Qiao Yuan��s and Eymond��s pupils constricted at the same time, and they came to a realization very soon.


    Empyrean Devilfeather, that was an old subordinate of Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang.


    Back then, he was sent by Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang to pursue Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, but he never came back. They did not expect that he actually did not die yet.


    The two of them did not doubt Devilfeather��s words. To be able to say out the two of their names and even say the name Devilfeather, this was not what anyone could do.


    The two exchanged a glance and Qiao Yuan said, ��Chase!��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean also gave a loud roar, raised his blade, and chased after, saying, ��Where are you running!��


    Three great Empyrean powerhouses all chased into the cave.


    The catastrophe of the Immortal Grove World finally stopped for the time being.


    Space slowly started to recover. Everything also returned to tranquility.


    But at this time, all the people inside the Law Enforcement Hall were white as a sheet.


    In front of this kind of apocalyptic power, their strength was fragile like ants.


    Facing this kind of apocalyptic crisis, they were so feeble and powerless.


    What they could only do was wait quietly.


    ��This calamity �� wonder if the Immortal Grove World can pull through or not,�� Fang Tian said with a pale expression.


    ��


    Sensing that horrifying undulation stop, Ye Yuan also let out a long sigh in relief.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Ye Yuan��s fresh blood spewed mouthful after mouthful. His injuries were extremely severe.


    Although the Divine Vestige Space was powerful, facing existences like Empyrean powerhouses, it was still unbelievably fragile.


    ��My strength is still too weak! That damn Old Fart Immortal Grove, what the hell do you want to do?�� Ye Yuan roared.


    Inside his sea of consciousness, Dustless was silent.


    He knew about Ye Yuan��s feelings toward the Immortal Grove World. This place had his kin and was also the place where he grew up.


    He could not possibly watch these people die unfeelingly, watch this world crumble.


    Therefore, his fury toward Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove also reached the limit.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove clearly had the power to suppress Empyreans. But after arriving here, he did not suppress anymore.


    Once the power of an Empyrean was unleashed, that was truly destroying heaven and earth.


    Facing Empyreans with Ye Yuan��s current strength, it truly felt powerless.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Just as Ye Yuan was denouncing angrily, intense fighting sounds came from in front.


    Suddenly, his eyes suddenly saw light. A massive karst cavern appeared before his eyes.


    Inside the karst cavern, iridescent rays of light blossomed. It was unbelievably beautiful.

 Chapter 1877 - Innumerable Ghost Shadows

    ��Damn it! You damn thing, get lost for Your Father!�� Inside the karst cavern, came Gu Tianque��s roars.


    Gu Tianque and Ghostwind, two people, were currently fighting fiercely without rest inside the cave.


    Gu Tianque��s strength was a notch higher. But wanting to finish off Ghostwind within a short time was also not an easy thing.


    On a stone platform in the depths of the karst cavern, a fist-sized seven-colored rock was placed quietly there.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, guessing that it should be the Seven-Colored Aegirine.


    Even separated so far away, Ye Yuan could also feel the tremendous energy contained inside it. It even made the injuries on his body instantly become much better.


    ��This is the Seven-Colored Aegirine? Indeed mystical, no wonder even Empyrean powerhouses are moved,�� Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    While talking, waves of powerful undulations came from behind. Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean and the fiend race Empyreans already chased after.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan took a stride out and arrived on top of the stone platform.


    ��The Seven-Colored Aegirine is mine!�� Below, came Gu Tianque��s roar.


    Ye Yuan totally ignored him, reaching his hand out and grabbing at the Seven-Colored Aegirine.


    Ghostwind laughed savagely and said, ��Blind and reckless thing, a measly Celestial Deity Realm also wants to encroach upon the Seven-Colored Aegirine!��


    He knew that that stone platform was not a good place that could let people take away the Seven-Colored Aegirine at will.


    Woo! Woo!


    Ye Yuan��s hand had not touched the Seven-Colored Aegirine yet and a cold to the extreme aura already came over.


    Countless ghosts howled and screamed, dashing out of the stone platform, and pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.


    These evil ghosts all had incomparably powerful auras. Even if a True God Realm powerhouse was here, they would also be torn to pieces.


    This tiny stone platform was actually a place that hid ghosts!


    When Gu Tianque saw this scene, his complexion turned deathly pale too. Even if Ghostwind did not chase after, if he went to take the Seven-Colored Aegirine rashly, his outcome would likely not be much better too.


    Fortunately now, there was Ye Yuan luring out these fierce ghosts.


    ��Hahaha, the Seven-Colored Aegirine is mine!��


    Right at this time, Gu Tianque suddenly erupted, forcing Ghostwind back several steps.


    Following which, his figure was like lightning, pouncing over toward the Seven-Colored Aegirine.


    Ghostwind got a big shock, but it was already too late to want to go and intercept.


    But right at this time, a terrifying soul vortex erupted from Ye Yuan��s body.


    The shrill screams emitted by those fierce ghosts were as if Ye Yuan was a dreadful monster; avoiding him as if he was a plague.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed, directly grabbing the Seven-Colored Aegirine in his hand.


    Those fierce ghosts did not dare to approach Ye Yuan but took Gu Tianque to be the target to vent, pouncing over toward him frenziedly.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, three extremely powerful auras barged into the karst cavern, they were precisely the three great Empyrean powerhouses!


    ��Heh heh, kid, see where you��re gonna run still!�� Qiao Yuan said with a mocking look.


    ��Didn��t expect that a Celestial Deity Realm brat could actually block a punch from Your Father! Truly impressive! However, it also ends here. Hand over the Seven-Colored Aegirine!�� Eymond said with a cold smile.


    This karst cavern only had one exit. Right now, the exit was thoroughly blocked off by three great Empyrean powerhouses, there was no way out at all.


    The other powerhouses also followed inside but hid far away, not daring to come over at all.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s gaze also locked onto Ye Yuan firmly and said furiously, ��Kid, put down the Seven-Colored Aegirine!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze glinted and he suddenly smiled and said to the two great Empyrean powerhouses, ��When did I say that I was going to run?��


    Qiao Yuan was taken aback and said with a cold smile, ��Best that you don��t run. Looks like you��ve resigned yourself to date! Hand over the Seven-Colored Aegirine then, and this Empyrean can spare you from death!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was amused and said with a big laugh, ��You fiends, each and every one of you are dumb like pigs, to actually take others to be as silly as you all? Spare me from death? This kind of trick, even three-year-old kids won��t believe either, right?��


    Qiao Yuan��s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, ��Brat, you��re very good! This Empyrean will refine you into a fiend slave and imprison your divine soul for a hundred thousand years!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but he said to Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, ��You come over. The Seven-Colored Aegirine, I��ll only hand over to you! Furthermore, I can help you chase away these two fools!��


    The moment Qiao Yuan duo heard this, they laughed wildly without ceasing.


    ��Hahaha! Boy, your joke is really very hilarious, I��m almost laughing myself into fits.�� Qiao Yuan said with a big laugh.


    Forget about them, even Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean himself also did not take Ye Yuan��s words seriously at all.


    But, Ye Yuan saying to hand the Seven-Colored Aegirine over to him still moved him.


    It was only to see his figure moved, arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    An extremely gloomy and cold aura came over, nearly freezing Ye Yuan into a corpse.


    The severity of a ghost empyrean��s Yin aura, ordinary powerhouses were not able to withstand it at all.


    ��Brat, hand over the Seven-Colored Aegirine then,�� Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean said.


    ��Wild Blade, still remember this old man?�� A voice transmitted right into Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s sea of consciousness, making his entire body shudder.


    ��You �� You��re Lord Dustless?�� Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean replied.


    Dustless laughed and said, ��Huhu, it��s precisely this old man!��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s body trembled violently. This aura, he was too familiar. Who could it be if not Dustless?


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove rearing Ghost Dao powerhouses, what did he use to raise?


    Of course it was the Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    This divine soul-type empyrean spirit treasure was not what ordinary empyrean spirit treasures could compare to.


    One could say that the Ghost Dao powerhouses here were all trained by Dustless single-handedly.


    ��T-That��s great! Your Excellency, you��re alright! It��s really great!�� Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean was extremely agitated.


    ��Huhu, now isn��t the time to catch up, I��ll possess your body and teach those two fiend race Empyreans a little lesson,�� Dustless said.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean did not hesitate at all, saying with a nod, ��Okay! With Lord Dustless taking action, those two damn things will definitely die very horribly!��


    Suddenly, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s eyes suddenly snapped open, the imposing momentum on his body suddenly changing.


    Qiao Yuan and Eymond��s faces changed, secretly thinking that things were not good.


    They did not stop Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean just now because no matter whose hands the Seven-Colored Aegirine was in, the two of them could not avoid a fight with Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean.


    As long as they blocked the exit and did not let them go out, it would do.


    Fighting two versus one, the two of their chances of victory were very high.


    As for Ye Yuan saying that he could let Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean defeat them, they only took it to be a joke.


    But now, they had a trace of foreboding premonition in their hearts.


    ��Eymond, attack!�� Qiao Yuan shouted fiercely, rushing together with Eymond, pincer-attacking Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean gave a cold laugh and said with a furious roar, ��Ghost Dao Hundred Runes �� Innumerable Ghost Shadows! Dark Extermination Ghost Blade!��


    In an instant, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean transformed into countless incarnations, each one��s aura was incomparably powerful.


    Qiao Yuan��s and Eymond��s expressions changed suddenly, urging the fiend essence within their bodies to the limit.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Countless blade images landed frenziedly, turning into an airtight blade-net, slicing the entire space into fragments.


    Qiao Yuan and Eymond wailed miserably, with their figures flying out backward. The fiend energy on their bodies immediately decreased significantly.


    Qiao Yuan struggled to crawl to his feet, gnashing his teeth in hatred as he said, ��Damn it! How can it be like this?!��

 Chapter 1878 - Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace

    ��What a powerful attack! It��s simply impeccable!��


    ��Why did this Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean suddenly become so strong?��


    ��This is the 81st rune of the Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Innumerable Ghost Shadows! He actually cultivated to such a boundary already!��


    ��No, wait, he definitely didn��t have this strength previously. What in the world did Ye Yuan do to him?��


    ��


    Ye Yuan��s words were still ringing in their ears, he said that he could help Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean chase these two mighty fiend race Empyreans away.


    Just now, they were the same as the two great Empyreans, taking it to be a joke.


    They did not expect that in a blink of an eye, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean really brought down these two mighty fiend Empyreans with one blade.


    Ye Yuan looked at that rapidly shrinking space, letting out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.


    This blade arrived quickly and also left quickly, not like the great battle previously. The ripping of space was continuous and the destructive power was also completely different.


    Previously, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s fight with the two great Empyreans, he did not have the chance to approach Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean at all. He could only enter the cave to draw their attention.


    Ye Yuan looked at the two great fiend Empyreans and said coolly, ��Now, is it still a joke or not?��


    Qiao Yuan��s expression was very ugly. An exalted Empyrean powerhouse was actually made a mockery off by a Celestial Deity Realm.


    However, what on earth did this boy do, to actually make Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s strength increase greatly?


    Ghost Dao Hundred Runes�� 81st rune, that was a Ghost Dao that even Empyrean powerhouses found hard to comprehend, and Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean actually used it.


    ��Kid, don��t you be impudent! The victor hasn��t been decided yet! Eymond, attack together!��


    Qiao Yuan gave a fierce cry, fiendish energy immediately surging on his body.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp and he said coldly, ��You guys really want to go to the point of no return for a Seven-Colored Aegirine?��


    Qiao Yuan sneered and said, ��So what?��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��I don��t care, but Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s real treasures should be inside that palace. But if you guys want to really fight it out with Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, the Immortal Grove World will likely fall apart to pieces. At that time, that palace will drift into spatial turbulent flows and you guys can forget about finding it again!��


    The moment Qiao Yuan heard, the imposing momentum on his body immediately diminished significantly.


    What Ye Yuan said was right, they already sensed that the Immortal Grove World could not withstand Empyrean-level battles at all.


    Once they fought it out to the bitter end, the entire world would collapse and that palace would definitely crashed into a spatial turbulent flow.


    Wanting to enter the palace at that time would be virtually impossible.


    However, Qiao Yuan still did not give up and said to Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, ��Wild Blade, this kid said to give you the Seven-Colored Aegirine, but he didn��t give it to you. Could it be that you��re going to stomach this insult?��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean gave Ye Yuan a glance and said coolly, ��I hit it off very well with this little brother. That Seven-Colored Aegirine, I��ll give it to this little brother!��


    ��WHAT?!��


    Qiao Yuan��s eyeballs went wide, disbelief written all over his face.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean fought with them for the greater part of a day for the Seven-Colored Aegirine. Now, he actually gave the Seven-Colored Aegirine to Ye Yuan?


    The others similarly had astonished looks, feeling that this scene in front of them was seriously too subverting.


    One had to know, they had a bloody battle with those Ghost Dao powerhouses for a long time for the Seven-Colored Aegirine.


    Now, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean actually made the decision and gave the Seven-Colored Aegirine to Ye Yuan.


    This �� This made people too peeved!


    Of course, what they had even more was envy.


    That was a Seven-Colored Aegirine, giving a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse to use was simply a wanton waste of God��s good gifts!


    This thing was something that could let Empyrean powerhouses advance.


    ��Just nice, I was called out by them from the Senro Ghost Realm and can still stay for a few days. I��ll follow along with Little Friend Ye Yuan then.�� Just as everyone was unbelievably surprised, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean threw out another heavyweight bombshell.


    Qiao Yuan��s face turned black and nearly had an impulse to curse and swear.


    This guy could be off doing anything, but he just had to be Ye Yuan��s bodyguard!


    He was originally still planning on finishing Ye Yuan off along the way. Now, nothing could be done.


    No one would have thought that a great struggle for the Seven-Colored Aegirine would actually conclude like this.


    The group of True God Realms fought fiercely for more than ten days, in the end, even Empyrean powerhouses took action. But nobody obtained the Seven-Colored Aegirine in the end and instead let Ye Yuan, this Celestial Deity Realm, get it.


    Helpless, the party could only rest their hopes on that palace.


    Three great Empyreans blazing the trail, there naturally would not be much danger on the way.


    Very soon, the group of people arrived on that tallest mountain peak.


    Only after arriving before it did everyone feel the majesty and magnificence of this palace.


    But Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on a young man by his side.


    That person seemed to have noticed Ye Yuan too and flashed a friendly smile at Ye Yuan, saying, ��Brother Ye, we meet again! You��re really impressive, to actually be able to snatch the Seven-Colored Aegirine from the hands of a group of Empyrean powerhouses!��


    This person was none other than precisely Tang Yan!


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this Tang Yan who concealed his abilities actually walked all the way here!


    One had to know, previously in the Asura Ghost Domain, the Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses who challenged the Heaven Killing Sword Formation had pretty much all fallen.


    Especially those itinerant cultivators without backers, the casualties were even terrifyingly huge.


    Ye Yuan did not think that Tang Yan actually pulled through.


    ��Huhu, Brother Tang indeed keeps your ability hidden deeply! This Ye admires!�� Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan touched his own heart and felt that he was rather accurate at reading people. But this Tang Yan, he could not see through.


    Tang Yan smiled and said, ��What ability do I have to hide? It was merely hiding from place to place and barely managing to walk until here, that��s all. Even so, this Tang also narrowly escaped death several times.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Tang is modest.��


    ��Heh, finally arrived at Old Fart Immortal Grove��s lair! Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace! Heh heh, that thing should be hidden in here, right?�� Qiao Yuan chuckled and was about to step into the great hall.


    He was brave stemming from great ability and was also not afraid of whatever contingency Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove set up.


    ��Hold on!�� Ji Xun suddenly shouted.


    Qiao Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Mn? What��s wrong, Old Fogey Devilfeather?��


    Empyrean Devilfeather could not even take care of a True God Realm right now, how could Qiao Yuan take him seriously?


    Jiu Shang said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Jiu Shang sent you two pigs here, isn��t he afraid of spoiling the important affair?��


    Qiao Yuan snorted coldly when he heard that and said, ��Devilfeather, stop putting on stinky airs in front of Your Father! If you��re formidable, why would you be suppressed by Old Fart Immortal Grove for five million years?��


    Ji Xun��s face turned black and was practically about to rampage.


    But he was currently a tiger who had ended up in an open plain, so how could he be Qiao Yuan��s match?


    It was only to see him snort coldly. He said, ��Okay then! If you want to seek death, go in then!��


    Qiao Yuan��s brows furrowed and he calmed down instead.


    Suddenly, his gaze swept and landed on a Third Firmament True God.


    ��You, go in first!�� Qiao Yuan said in a cold voice.


    That Third Firmament True God��s face changed but hesitated.


    Qiao Yuan said in a cold voice, ��If you��re not going, die!��


    As he said, powerful fiend essence burst forth, crushing that Third Firmament True God until he could not catch his breath.


    Empyrean powerhouses were too strong!


    Bang!


    Qiao Yuan did not give him time to hesitate at all, suddenly slamming a fist out, immediately blasting him into dregs.


    Then, his gaze landed on another True God Realm and said, ��You, go in!��


    The moment that person heard, his face was immediately ashen.


    But at this time, it was not allowed for him to refuse at all.


    Carrying flustered emotions, he walked towards the main entrance of the palace.


    Buzz, buzz ��


    Bang!


    A horrifying energy undulation landed. That True God powerhouse did not even let out a scream. He directly turned to ashes.

 Chapter 1879 - Eradicate Him for Me!

    The group of powerhouses all had slightly fearful expressions. This Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace��s restrictions were too powerful.


    Qiao Yuan��s face changed. He then pointed at another True God powerhouse and said, ��You go!��


    But this time, he pointed at Yang Yidao.


    The moment Yang Yidao heard, his face immediately turned pale and he stammered, ��L-Lord Empyrean, haven��t we already tested it?��


    Qiao Yuan snickered and said, ��Not testing more, how will this Empyrean know where the weak point of this restriction is?��


    One sentence and everyone felt imperiled.


    Ji Kang, Zuo Pan, and the rest of the True God Realm top powerhouses, all had very ugly faces.


    The fox mourning the death of a rabbit was pretty much like this.


    Yang Yidao was aware that there was no chance to be spared. Suddenly, he knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a flash.


    He understood that at this time, there was only Ye Yuan who could save him.


    ��L-Little Brother Ye Yuan, I-I beg you, save me!��


    Ye Yuan was also rendered dumbfounded by this sudden change. An exalted Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse actually knelt in front of him?


    When the other True God powerhouses saw this scene, they could not help giving rise to the feeling of the fox mourning the death of a rabbit.


    At this time, the Celestial Deity Realm martial artists whose numbers were not many felt very safe instead. Because even if they went, they could not probe anything out at all.


    When Qiao Yuan saw this scene, he immediately laughed.


    ��Huhu, if you��d long known that it would be this way, why behave like that back then? He obtained an empyrean spirit treasure based on his own ability, you guys insisted on abusing your power to bully people. Now, you��re in a crisis and turned around to beg him. Is it that you guys will sell him again after this round? Ye Yuan brat, let me remind you, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean can��t stay for more than a few days here.��


    Qiao Yuan had a smile on his face, seemingly not worried at all that Ye Yuan would help Yang Yidao.


    Along the way, they concealed their strength, taking Ye Yuan��s conflict with these people into their sights.


    At this time, Yang Yidao��s intestines were green with regret.


    Smack!


    Smack!


    Smack!


    Yang Yidao slapped himself ruthlessly and cried bitterly, ��Ye Yuan, I made a huge mistake! It was all my fault! I shouldn��t have been blinded by obsession and covet your empyrean spirit treasure! But �� But in the end, we��re all humans, are you going to passively watch everyone die in the hands of the fiend race?��


    ��Yeah! Ye Yuan, at this time, we should be bound by a common hatred for the enemy and deal with the fiend race together first!��


    ��Everyone is human compatriots, you can��t stand by and watch us die!��


    ��


    The moment they heard Yang Yidao��s words, these True God powerhouses all voiced their vocal support, wanting to hold Ye Yuan ransom to ethical principles.


    Ye Yuan was originally somewhat stirred, but when Yang Yidao said until the second half of his sentence, Ye Yuan became enraged.


    ��Enough!��


    Ye Yuan gave a furious roar, interrupting their words.


    Everyone��s faces changed, they all saw through that Ye Yuan was angered.


    ��Yang Yidao, if you��re scared of death yourself, then be scared of death yourself. Deliberately dragging everyone in, are you bullying me for being soft-hearted? Or is it that you feel that I��m young, easy to hoodwink?�� Ye Yuan looked at Yang Yidao and said with a cold smile.


    Yang Yidao��s face was ashen. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so sharp.


    His bit of trick was seen through by Ye Yuan.


    He was secretly shocked. How could a thousand over years old little fellow have such profound cunningness?


    He, this old monster who had lived for a million years, could not play any tricks.


    ��Also, you guys! Know that you��re humans now? Know that there are compatriots now and want to fight the enemy with a common hatred? What the hell have you been doing? When the two of them were dealing with me inside the cavern, did one of you come forward? Previously, when Ji Kang they all were taking advantage of their power to bull people, did any one of you step forward to step up for me? Now, know how to be scared?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was scorching, sweeping over each person��s face.


    The places it passed through, those True God powerhouses all lowered their heads.


    Ye Yuan sneered inwardly. These people posed as people of high morals but were self-centered.


    Saying whatever human race��s righteousness was merely holding you ransom to ethical principles.


    What Qiao Yuan said was right, even if he helped these people pass this hurdle, once Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean disappeared, they would recover to their original faces very quickly.


    ��Hahaha! Boy, I really underestimated you. Looks like you see things even more thoroughly than I do!�� Qiao Yuan laughed loudly and said.


    Ye Yuan suddenly reined in his expression and said coolly, ��I know that there are definitely Empyrean powerhouses among the humans too. But �� I really admire your tolerance, to actually be able to endure until now. Huhu, thinking of sitting things out and reaping the spoils later?��


    Ye Yuan��s words made Qiao Yuan��s face change.


    They naturally also suspected that the humans had Empyrean powerhouses around too. But even the Seven-Colored Aegirine appeared and the human Empyreans did not show face. They thought that there were none.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually suspected that the humans had Empyreans too.


    Ye Yuan swept his glance over and said with a faint smile, ��All not making a sound huh? All treating me as a sucker, making me fight to the death with the fiend race Empyreans, is it? Sorry, you guys want to dodge, but I won��t let you do as you wish! Senior Wild Blade, give them a chop, force out our Lord Empyreans for me!��


    The moment Qiao Yuan heard, he could not help laughing loudly and said, ��Hahaha! Boy, you��re indeed ruthless enough! A great character!��


    But the faces of Ji Kang and the rest changed and said, ��Ye Yuan, you �� what do you want to do?��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Don��t blame me, want to blame, blame the Lord Empyreans! Senior, do it!��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean nodded slightly, evil ghostly power suddenly erupting. Those human powerhouses were all ashen


    In front of Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean, they did not have the strength to retaliate at all. There was no difference from lambs awaiting slaughter.


    The blade rising, the terrifying aura raged.


    Whoosh ��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean did not hesitate in the slightest and really chopped a blade over.


    The faces of the human powerhouses all abruptly changed, they finally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking with them.


    But right at this time, two powerful auras suddenly erupted, meeting this blade.


    Bang!


    The blade momentum dissipated, everything returned to tranquility.


    Two auras that were not weaker than the fiend race Empyreans appeared in the midst of the human camp.


    The faces of the powerhouses around them suddenly changed, backing away one after another.


    Ji Kang��s pupils constricted, looking at one of the figures and exclaimed, ��Lord Zhao Min, you �� you��re here too!��


    Zhao Min looked at Ji Kang and said with a cold snort, ��Humph! Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s face is totally lost by you all!��


    Ji Kang had a look of embarrassment. Being suppressed by a Celestial Deity Realm boy along the way, this was simply a great stinging insult in his life.


    But he had no choice!


    Putting aside that he had peak True God strength, he even had an Empyrean powerhouse protecting!


    The other Empyrean powerhouse said, ��Heh heh, Zhao Min, you might not fare better than how Ji Kang did too. This boy isn��t simple!��


    ��Enough crap! Du Hong, this is my Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s affair. It has nothing to do with you!��Zhao Min said unhappily.


    Finished talking, Zhao Min looked at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Boy, you��re very gutsy, to actually dare oppose my Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital! The consequence isn��t what you can bear!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly grinned and said, ��Are you threatening me? Senior Wild Blade, eradicate him for me!��

 Chapter 1880 - Mysterious Tang Yan

    Bang!


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean did not hesitate at all, Innumerable Ghost Shadows was executed once more, directly bombarding a blade over.


    One blade directly blasted Zhao Min flying.


    ��Cough, cough!��


    Zhao Ming was struck by the blade and already sustained serious injuries, coughing vigorously.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s Innumerable Ghost Shadows, even Qiao Yuan and Eymond joining hands, was not a match for it. So how could a measly Zhao Min alone possibly block it?


    ��Hahaha! Zhao Min, is your brain spoiled? Didn��t even figure out the situation and you dare to threaten Ye Yuan?�� When Qiao Yuan saw the situation, he could not resist laughing loudly.


    The two of them fiend race mighty Empyreans did not even dare to attack Wild Blade after joining hands.


    Zhao Min, alone and without backing, actually dared to use Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital to coerce Ye Yuan. Did he really take Ye Yuan to be a soft persimmon?


    When those True God powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of their hearts leaped to their throats.


    That was an Empyrean powerhouse, and yet Ye Yuan sent him packing with one word.


    It was also that the space here was not stable enough. Otherwise, Ye Yuan would likely deal a fatal blow.


    But this attack already gave Zhao Ming a serious injury too.


    Zhao Min crawled to his feet, his expression ugly to the extreme. No idea whether was it because he got injured, or was it because it was humiliating.


    ��Those who came here are all aiming for the treasures. You used Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital to threaten me? I think that you really didn��t bring your brain out when you left the house!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    ��C-Consider yourself ruthless!�� Zhao Ming gritted his teeth and stopped talking.


    Under this situation right now, the most domineering one was not the few mighty Empyrean powerhouses, but Ye Yuan, this puny little Celestial Deity Realm!��


    This was because Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s strength far surpassed the other Empyreans.


    And Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean obeyed Ye Yuan��s every command!


    Zhao Min, this major faction��s Empyrean powerhouse, was insufferably arrogant because he was used to playing the tyrant.


    Because of Ye Yuan��s conflict with Ji Kang, Xu Xing, and the rest, he felt that it provoked Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s face. That was why he blurted out those words.


    Except, he never thought that Ye Yuan would actually be so decisive in going for the kill, making a move at a word of disagreement.


    Ye Yuan��s words and actions were not like a junior��s at all, but a fierce and ambitious person who ruled a region.


    ��Heh, since these two cowardly turtles came out too, then we can discuss how to enter the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, right?��


    These words, Qiao Yuan said them to Ye Yuan.


    Currently, Ye Yuan undoubtedly had the greatest right to speak.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��How to go in is your business. If you have the ability, go in to seize the treasures. If you don��t have the ability, keep watch outside! Senior Wild Blade, let��s go!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean and entered inside the restriction with a stride.


    Qiao Yuan��s pupils constricted, this brat��s guts were also too plucky, to actually go in just like this. Wasn��t he scared of death?��


    ��Humph! Blind and reckless thing!�� When Zhao Min saw the situation, he said with a cold snort.


    At the same time, he cursed non-stop in his heart, cursing for Ye Yuan to be directly exterminated by the restriction.


    However, he was disappointed.


    After Ye Yuan walked into the restriction, the restriction did not have any reaction at all!


    It was only to see him shift positions, directly arriving outside the palace��s front door.


    Creak ��


    The door was lightly pushed open by Ye Yuan.


    Qiao Yuan��s face changed, and he said with a furious roar, ��Turns out that this kid knows restrictions! Damn it!��


    ��Can��t let this boy go in! Otherwise, the treasures inside will be swept clean by him alone!�� Zhao Min also said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan turned around and said with a smile, ��You guys take your time. No rush. I��ll go in to explore the way first.��


    Done talking, he stepped right into the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace.


    ��This �� What to do here? Old Fart Immortal Grove��s restrictions are extremely formidable. Based on our strength, forcefully barging won��t work at all!�� Eymond said anxiously.


    The others also had looks of despair. No one would have thought that at the final juncture, everyone would be played by Ye Yuan.


    When everyone was at a loss on what to do, he swaggered his way in.


    ��Everyone, I think that I can bring you all in.�� Just as everyone lost all hope, a voice sounded out like heavenly music.


    Looking over to where the voice was, everyone discovered that it was actually a Celestial Deity Realm young man.


    ��You? You��re sure that you can?�� Zhao Min used doubting eyes to look at him.


    The young man smiled brightly and said, ��I can go ahead first.��


    Everyone exchanged glances, Qiao Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Okay! You go!��


    The young man slowly walked out, akin to strolling idly in a courtyard, and really made a round trip.


    Except, his speed of clearing the restriction was much slower compared to Ye Yuan.


    When everyone saw the situation, they immediately revealed wildly ecstatic looks.


    No one would have expected that this Celestial Deity Realm young man could actually crack such a profound restriction.


    Qiao Yuan��s eyes lit up and he said with pleasant surprise, ��What��s your name called?��


    The young man smiled and said, ��Tang Yan.��


    This young man was none other than precisely Tang Yan!


    Even Ye Yuan also did not think that apart from him, this place actually still had someone capable of passing through the restriction.


    ��Hahaha, truly, heaven didn��t fail me! Quickly, you lead the way!�� Qiao Yuan said impatiently.


    But Tang Yan smiled and said, ��Senior don��t be anxious, Tang Yan don��t have other abilities, but have done some research on restrictions. However, this junior has a presumptuous request.��


    Qiao Yuan��s face changed, but he recovered back to normal very quickly and said smilingly, ��Speak!��


    At this time, if Tang Yan did not raise any requests, it would be abnormal instead.


    Tang Yan smiled and said, ��Seniors have to do everything in your power to ensure my safety after entering this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove. I hope that everyone swears a Heavenly Dao Oath! Don��t use this kind of eyes to look at me. With Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s attainments, there is still no idea what kind of restriction exists inside. Ensuring my safety, seniors will only earn and not lose out. By now, this junior already has no other requests and only asks to be able to go out safely.��


    The few mighty Empyrean powerhouses exchanged glances, agreeing to Tang Yan��s request very quickly.


    Just as Tang Yan said, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s restrictions were too terrifying.


    This place was Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s lair, what kind of restrictions were inside was still not known.


    With Tang Yan around, it was indeed a pretty good choice.


    After swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath, Tang Yan started to bring everyone into the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace.


    ��


    After entering the heavenly palace, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean said with a cold laugh, ��Heh, how would those fools have thought that Young Master is Lord Immortal Grove��s successor? With this, they can only wait blankly outside.��


    Ye Yuan said with a smile, ��That might not be so!��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s face changed and he said, ��Young Master, what does this mean?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laying down such a big set up, it was in order to lure these people in. Now that they already arrived at the gate, how can they possibly be turned away at the gate?��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s face changed, and he said, ��This �� What in the world does Lord Immortal Grove want to do?��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��That can only ask him to know! Either way, it��s definitely not some good thing to the Immortal Grove World! Mn?��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, sensing a wave of undulation in the Purple Extreme Hall.


    His thoughts stirred and Little Tong appeared hugging the pink Treasure Pig.


    ��Snort snort ���� Treasure Pig grunted at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s eyebrows raised up and he said with a smile, ��Okay, we��ll follow you!��


    Little Tong let his hand go. Treasure Pig immediately scurried into the depths of the great hall like lightning.

 Chapter 1881 - One Fell Swoop

    ��Such thick medicinal fragrance! If those people saw it, it cannot be without a bout of killing again.��


    Looking at the heaps of bottles and containers in front of them, Ye Yuan could not help sighing emotionally.


    Under Treasure Pig��s lead, Ye Yuan found this side-hall. Inside had all sorts of medicinal pills displayed.


    Barring no accidents, this place should be the place where Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove stored medicinal pills.


    When Treasure Pig saw these medicinal pills, its two eyes immediately lit up, turning into a streak of punk light and dashing over, devouring a pile of bottles and containers busily.


    The quality of these medicinal pills naturally went without saying. Ye Yuan examined them, they were basically all rank six and above divine pills. There were even quite a number of rank seven divine pills.


    Rank seven divine pills were medicinal pills even useful to Empyrean powerhouses.


    ��Mn? What��s this?��


    Ye Yuan saw that on a countertop in a corner, several small bottles were placed, faintly exuding an extremely powerful aura.


    Roar!


    Opening the small bottle to look, the sound of a dragon roar rose to the sky, practically shattering the entire side-hall.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly closed the lid and said in pleasant surprise, ��This is Four Symbols true blood! Inside this small bottle, there are likely several dozen drops of Azure Dragon true blood.��


    One had to know, one drop of true blood outside caused countless powerhouses to crack their skulls in a bid to vie for it.


    If the true blood here was put out, it would definitely arouse endless frenzy.


    Ye Yuan��s mind stirred, White Light and Ning Tianping both appeared here.


    ��Your Excellency!��


    ��Big Brother!��


    Ye Yuan handed the White Tiger true blood to White Light and passed the Black Tortoise true blood to Ning Tianping, saying with a smile, ��Inside is White Tiger true blood and Black Tortoise true blood. You guys refine it, your strength should be able to increase considerably.��


    White Light opened the bottle lid, a violent tiger roar transmitted out. His expression changed and he said, ��S-So much?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You��re of the White Tiger physique, refining the White Tiger true blood will definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.��


    White Light was overjoyed and said, ��Thank you, Big Brother! I��ll go into closed-seclusion right away and refine it!��


    ��Thank you, Your Excellency!�� Ning Tianping similarly felt an upsurge of emotion, saying gratefully.


    These few years, White Light and Ning Tianping were cultivating inside the Purple Extreme Hall, and also already broke through to Celestial Deity Realm.


    It was just that in terms of cultivation realm, they were a lot worse than Ye Yuan.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, directly swallowing three drops of Azure Dragon true blood, and started refining.


    ��Senior Wild Blade, you stand guard over me. I��ll refine the Azure Dragon true blood.��


    ��Yes, Young Master!��


    Little Tong��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��You swallowed three drops of Azure Dragon true blood in one go, you don��t want to live anymore?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m just scared that it��s not enough!��


    The dragon blood entering the body, the berserk energy instantly erupted, Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum skyrocketed.


    After two hours, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his realm already broke through to Fourth Firmament Divine Vestige.


    Little Tong had a shocked expression as he said, ��Just what kind of cultivation method are you cultivating? Refining three drops of Azure Dragon true blood only let you barely manage to break through to the First Firmament Celestial Deity Realm! Furthermore, your speed of refining is a little too fast, right?��


    Leng Qiuling used several months�� time to refine a drop of Vermilion Bird true blood. But Ye Yuan merely used two hours to refine three drops of Azure Dragon true blood.


    This speed was too fast.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Talk about this again in the future. We��d better leave this place first. There are probably quite a few good things inside this Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace. Let��s walk around more.��


    ��Eurrp!��


    Treasure Pig suddenly belched, immediately plopping down in Little Tong��s embrace, falling asleep.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over and also got a big shock. The medicinal pills here were quite a few, this little fellow actually ate all of them without leaving a single one behind.


    He was secretly astonished. Just what kind of pet was Treasure Pig, to actually have such a good appetite?


    So many medicinal pills, ordinary people would have long burst if they ate them, Treasure Pig��s body shape actually did not even change.


    Just what was inside this little fellow��s stomach?


    Right at this time, Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean suddenly said, ��Young Master, I �� Wild Blade probably can��t accompany you to carry on walking anymore.��


    Ye Yuan gave Wild Blade a glance and knew that his time limit was up. Nodding his head, he said, ��This whole way, many thanks to Senior Wild Blade for escorting.��


    Wild Blade hurriedly said, ��What is Young Master saying here? You��re Lord Immortal Grove��s successor, and also Lord Dustless��s master. So you��re naturally my, Wild Blade��s, master too! Without them, there wouldn��t be the present Wild Blade! Young Master, when you return to the Heavenspan World, you must go to the Senro Ghost Realm to find me!��


    Senro Ghost Realm was the same as the Demon Divine Region, a region of the Heavenspan World.


    It was just that the Senro Ghost Realm was the paradise of Ghost Dao powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Definitely! Senior Wild Blade, take care!��


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean cupped his fists and said, ��Take care, Young Master!��


    The moment Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean left, Ye Yuan lost the reliance to resist Empyrean powerhouses.


    Hence, he could not meet with those people anymore.


    Fortunately, Dustless was very familiar with the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace. Hence, avoiding those people was nothing.


    ��


    ��Such thick medicinal fragrance! There must be good stuff here!�� An alluring medicinal fragrance wafted over, Zhao Min and the rest were all intoxicated.


    Qiao Yuan and the rest went through hardships and finally found this side-hall.


    They were different from Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had Dustless leading the way and was not worried about the dangers of the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace at all.


    But they could only forcefully barge in. Along the way, quite a few people sustained heavy wounds or even died on the way already.


    A bunch of people entered in a single file, entering inside the side-hall.


    ��This �� How can it be like this!�� Upon entering, Zhao Min��s face changed.


    Inside the side-hall, there were disorderly empty bottles everywhere, scattered in a mess.


    Ji Kang gave a cold snort and said angrily, ��This place should be Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s pill refining room. The medicinal fragrance is so strong, it indicates that there were still many medicinal pills previously! This must have been done by Ye Yuan, the good things were all given to a pig[1]!��


    Those True God powerhouses were all black in the face, in great fits of rage.


    One misstep and every step would then be wrong. They could only follow behind Ye Yuan and eat dust now.


    But, one had to admit, Ji Kang really said it correctly.


    These medicinal pills were really given to a pig.


    Except, this pig was not Ye Yuan, but a genuine pig.


    ��Preposterous! Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove is a famous alchemist, there must have been rank seven divine pills here! This damn brat actually got the whole lot! When I capture him, this old man will definitely tear him to pieces!�� Du Hong also said angrily.


    ��No way! We have to hurry and chase after. Otherwise, we won��t be able to fish any benefits, all benefiting this brat. Tang Yan, quickly lead the way! Mn? Where��s Tang Yan?�� Zhao Min said.


    ��Eh? He was still here just now, where is he gone?��


    ��Damn! If this boy isn��t around, once we encounter restrictions, we��ll be dead for sure.��


    ��This punk called Tang Yan is as mysterious as Ye Yuan.��


    ��


    The moment everyone turned around, they discovered that the Tang Yan who was leading the way previously actually already disappeared.


    To be able to walk until here safely, Tang Yan could be said to have made tremendous contributions.


    Now that Tang Yan suddenly disappeared, everyone could not help panicking in their hearts.


    Four great Empyrean powerhouses, each of their faces were very ugly too.


    At this time, a figure was traveling at great speed inside the palace, spurring on powerful restrictions from time to time.


    However, those restrictions actually did not have any use when they landed on that figure!


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that this figure was none other than precisely Tang Yan!


    [1] It��s a saying, they don��t know that it was really eaten by a pig.

 Chapter 1882 - Tang Yan’s True Identity!

    Rumble!


    Within the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, intense undulations transmitted out from time to time.


    That horrifying energy made the entire heavenly palace start to tremble intensely.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was ugly as he said, ��What��s going on here?��


    ��Someone is confronting the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace��s restrictions!�� Dustless said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan was shocked and said, ��Confronting? Being able to confront the restrictions so enduringly, Empyrean powerhouses probably can��t do it too, right?��


    Dustless nodded his head and said in a solemn voice, ��Come, let��s go to the Immortal Grove Hall. If Old Fart Immortal Grove left behind anything, it��s likely left there.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Following Dustless��s guidance, he sped over towards the Immortal Grove Hall swiftly.


    ��


    Inside the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, Tang Yan arrived leisurely.


    Those restrictive forces that were powerful until it made the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace shudder had no effect on him at all.


    And the direction that he was going in was surprisingly, precisely the Immortal Grove Hall.


    With a creak, the Immortal Grove Hall��s front door was lightly pushed open. A power that was daunting until it made people quiver abruptly erupted.


    However, facing this force, Tang Yan just lightly waved his hand and it immediately turned to ashes.


    After stepping in, Tang Yan��s gaze never shifted away before.


    ��W-World Suppressing Stele?!�� At this time, a voice sounded out on the other side of the hall.


    Tang Yan lifted his head slightly and looked over, and discovered that astonishment was written all over Ye Yuan��s face.


    He just entered the hall from a side-door and discovered that the sculptures of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts were set up in the four corners of the great hall.


    Apart from this, it was stark empty inside the hall. There was only a stone stele suppressing in the center position, emitting a terrifying aura.


    This stone stele, Ye Yuan was quite familiar it. What was it if not the World Suppressing Stele?


    However, the World Suppressing Stele was clearly on him, then what was this stone stele?


    Ye Yuan did not believe that this World Suppressing Stele in the great hall was the genuine World Suppressing Stele. Because Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s goal was not the World Suppressing Stele at all, but the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain inside the World Suppressing Stele!


    And the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was precisely in his, Ye Yuan��s, hands.


    ��That��s right! It��s precisely the World Suppressing Stele!�� Tang Yan said with a faint smile.


    Ye Yuan��s face fell and he looked at Tang Yan and said, ��Tang Yan, who on earth are you?��


    Tang Yan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, ��With your intellect and wit, haven��t you already guessed it? Why is there a need to get confirmation from me?��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, his heart twitching violently, squeezing four words out of his crevices between his teeth. ��Heavenly �� Emperor �� Jiu �� Shang!��


    This Tang Yan had always given Ye Yuan a very peculiar feeling.


    This person was too low-profile. But each time, he could make it through safe and sound.


    Most importantly, when everyone felt imperiled by danger, this Tang Yan could still maintain an expression that was rippleless like an ancient well. This was absolutely not ordinary.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had always thought that Tang Yan was an Empyrean powerhouse. But under that blade of Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean��s, Tang Yan did not make a move. This had surprised him greatly.


    Ye Yuan never dreamed that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang actually personally took action!��


    Now, the truth was brought into the light!


    Ye Yuan finally understood just what Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove set up such a grand spectacle for.


    He wanted to draw his greatest sworn enemy, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, over!


    He used the World Suppressing Stele to draw him over!


    Actually, right from the beginning, Ye Yuan faintly had some surmises, feeling that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove definitely did not lay down such a grand set up in order to choose a successor.


    Because Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s successor was him, Ye Yuan.


    Then, there was only one reason that he would do this. It was revenge!


    Except, he could not figure out what Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was relying on to dare do so.


    Forget that he was already dead, even if he was currently in his prime, it was also impossible to be Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s match!


    Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empyrean, even though it was only one word off, the strength margin was akin to heaven and earth.


    Even if Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was just an existence who refined a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.


    Tang Yan smiled slightly and said, ��For Old Fart Immortal Grove to be able to find a successor like you, his life was truly not spent in vain!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he said, ��You knew long ago?��


    Jiu Shang smiled and said, ��You were able to forcibly resist True God Realm powerhouses along the way and could hide from other people��s eyes. But you can��t hide from this emperor��s arcane sight! How can a mere initial-rank empyrean spirit treasure be able to let a Celestial Deity Realm have such strength? It��s just that this trip, you shouldn��t have come!��


    Ye Yuan had already obtained Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s legacy. In Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s view, he could totally not get involved in this messy situation.


    He was only at the Celestial Deity Realm. This trip here was too perilous.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, borrowing this to subside the astonishment in his heart.


    No matter what, with a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse suddenly appearing in front of him, Ye Yuan still could not help being shocked in his heart.


    One had to know, this young man in front of him was a formidable existence who fought with Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove several million years ago!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, and he said, ��When Immortal Grove opened up another World Locking Gate, I had to come on this trip!��


    Jiu Shang was slightly surprised as he said, ��You were actually born in the Immortal Grove small world?��


    Ye Yuan��s heart turned cold, secretly thinking to himself that this Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had such meticulous thinking. Just based on a sentence from him, he guessed that he was born in the Immortal Grove World.


    ��Cultivating from a bumpkin until Celestial Deity Realm, to actually only use a short thousand over years, your talent is really rarely seen in this emperor��s lifetime! Old Fart Immortal Grove found a fine successor!�� Jiu Shang said rather emotionally.


    Ye Yuan fell silent.


    His emotion was very complicated. Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang personally taking action exceeded his expectations.


    If it were Empyrean powerhouses, he could still make use of this Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace to dance around.


    But a Heavenly Emperor was too strong.


    Once Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang exploded with full power, the Immortal Grove World would immediately fall apart into pieces. There was no leeway to maneuver at all.


    ��Huhu, you must be very curious why this emperor would personally take action. Actually, this emperor has coveted Old Fart Immortal Grove��s World Suppressing Stele for a long time already. Before obtaining the World Suppressing Stele, even if he had the World Suppressing Stele and Ten-Directional Sword, this emperor doesn��t lose to him too! But ever since he obtained the World Suppressing Stele, he continuously suppressed this emperor until I couldn��t lift my head. In fact, he was going to step into the realm of Heavenly Emperor a step earlier than this emperor! Therefore, this emperor guessed that a heaven-shocking secret must be hidden inside the World Suppressing Stele.��


    As he said, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s gaze became heated.


    The more he said, the more alarmed Ye Yuan got.


    This Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was definitely a terrifying character. From some clues and inklings, he could guess so many things.


    Furthermore, what he guessed was totally right!


    The secret contained inside the World Suppressing Stele, probably even Dao Ancestors would go crazy for it, let alone a puny little Empyrean powerhouse.


    ��Heh heh, this old fart laid down such a grand scheme, isn��t it in order to tell this emperor that the World Suppressing Stele is here? When he wasn��t dead, this emperor wasn��t even afraid of him. Now that he��s dead, would this emperor really not dare to come? Hahaha!��


    As he said, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang slowly strode out, walking over toward the World Suppressing Stele in the middle of the great hall.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, the immortal grove heavenly palace started trembling violently.


    In the four corners of the hall, the four enormous sculptures actually came to life.


    ��Roar, roar, roar, roar!��


    Four light figures rose to the sky. Those four statues actually flew toward the World Suppressing Stele in the center of the hall together!

 Chapter 1883 - A Shot Arrow Has No Way of Recalling

    Bang!


    A horrifying enormous wave rippled out. Ye Yuan actually could not stand still and was directly flung flying out.


    A phantom gradually condensed and formed in the center of the hall.


    ��Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove!�� Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, recognizing the phantom very quickly.


    It was just that the aura of this phantom was entirely different from what was seen outside.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang did not do anything and just quietly watched.


    That appearance was as if everything was within control.


    To a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, there was already nothing that could make their countenance visibly moved.


    Let alone that Immortal Grove was just an Empyrean powerhouse and even an Empyrean powerhouse who was dead.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove did not see Ye Yuan, there was only Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang in his eyes.


    ��Jiu Shang, you indeed came!��


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang smiled slightly and said, ��Didn��t you cause such a big commotion for me to come? Now that I��m here, what can you do to me?��


    To him, he could make the Immortal Grove World turn to ashes with a wave of his hand. He did not fear a dead person at all.


    Immortal Grove smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then �� wouldn��t you know after trying it out?! Today, the grudge between you and me should also have a conclusion!��


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang said coolly, ��Merely a wisp of remnant soul, to also dare utter such wild ravings, truly don��t know what you��re talking about! This World Suppressing Stele, I��ll take it first.��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang took a step out. His aura suddenly changed, an apocalyptic aura reverberated within the entire palace.


    Not far away, Ye Yuan immediately felt palpitation.


    Under this horrifying pressure, he could not even move a muscle!


    ��Is �� Is this the power of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse? S-So strong!��


    Although Ye Yuan��s Empyrean-class strength was horrifying, he had witnessed before Qiao Yuan and the rest taking action. That was at least still within the boundaries of normal people��s understanding.


    But now, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang merely released the pressure from his body and it made the entire world tremble.


    This kind of power already surpassed the scope of his understanding.


    Inside Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, Dustless said, ��Heavenly Emperor powerhouses already transcended samsara and aren��t within the Five Elements! Their strength, ordinary people are completely unable to comprehend it. Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s tiny bit of pressure, he didn��t use his full strength. Otherwise, the Immortal Grove World can��t withstand it at all.��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was incomparably ugly. The matter this time already surpassed his control.


    All along, Ye Yuan had always moved after planning it out.


    But this time, the events that exceeded his predictions were too many.


    Right now, the powerhouses inside the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, even if placed in the Heavenspan World, they were already at the apex level.


    But presently, it appeared within a small world where Heavenly Dao was lacking and incomplete.


    As long as these two people made a move, the entire Immortal Grove World would surely crumble.


    ��Immortal Grove, what in the world do you want to do? This place is the small world that you created single-handedly! Could it be that you��re going to watch it collapse unfeelingly?�� Ye Yuan used all of the strength in his body and roared furiously at Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s gaze finally looked towards this side, coldly.


    ��Do what? Of course it��s taking revenge! This Empyrean roamed unobstructed throughout heaven and earth, only a step away from stepping into the realm of Heavenly Emperor, but it was all ruined in the hands of this accursed thing! Not avenging this enmity, this Empyrean Realm can��t die in peace!�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s eyes were actually full of the wrath of hatred.


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, ��Why? WHY! Your enmity, I��ll help you avenge it one day! Why do you have to draw him to the Immortal Grove World?��


    The current Ye Yuan billowed with flames of fury.


    One could say that for him to be able to have today��s accomplishments, it was entirely thanks to Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    As long as his strength was sufficient, he would definitely take revenge for Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    But now, matters actually developed to such a step.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance and said coolly, ��Kid, you obtained my inheritance, but the strength of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses isn��t what you can imagine! Five million years ago, I already arranged everything today. Today, it��s time to make a clean break!��


    Clearly, he had long seen through that Ye Yuan was his successor.


    Except, he did not care at all. He schemed five million years for the sake of today.


    ��Sigh ����


    A long sigh sounded out, Dustless��s figure appeared.


    The Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove who had always been cold finally showed a trace of visible change in countenance.


    ��Dustless! You woke up!��


    Dustless gave Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove a glance and said with a sigh, ��I originally thought that my slumber and Jiang Hun��s death was caused by your battle with Jiu Shang. Looking at it now, it wasn��t the case!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s pupils constricted, the muscles on his face actually twinged.


    ��I �� I��m not reconciled to it! Not avenging this enmity, I can��t die with my eyes closed! Compared to my grudge, what does the small world count for? What do empyrean spirit treasures count for?��


    But Dustless smiled and said, ��There��s no cause for much criticism for you to do so. Jiang Hun and I were born because of you. It��s just that this time, you were really wrong! Ye Yuan��s potential is even greater than you imagined!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s eyes turned sharp and could not help sizing Ye Yuan up once more.


    He arranged for five million years for the sake of this setup today. But the world is constantly changing all the time, the things that could change in five million years were too many.


    He would not have expected that he would have a successor who surpassed his predecessor, let alone think that this successor would actually arrive before him on this day when the grand scheme took shape.


    And currently, monstrous waves stirred up in Ye Yuan��s heart too.


    Jiang Hun who was mentioned by Dustless was likely the artifact spirit of the World Suppressing Stele!


    Ye Yuan had always been puzzled why the World Suppressing Stele had an artifact spirit, while the World Suppressing Stele did not.


    Come to think of it, turned out that the artifact spirit died!


    Furthermore, Jiang Hun��s death had a direct relation to Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove!


    All along, Ye Yuan had also always thought that Dustless��s slumber was also caused by Jiu Shang.


    But looking at it now, it was simply due to Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove extracting the power of these two might peak empyrean spirit treasures.


    If not for encountering him, Dustless might have to keep on slumbering.


    ��Huhu, you and I have lived together for so many years, you should be very familiar with me! I only believe in myself!�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove suddenly laughed and said.


    He turned to Ye Yuan again and said, ��Kid, you shouldn��t have come on this trip!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was extremely ugly as he roared furiously, ��I was born here, grew up here, my parents and friends are all here! Now, you want to personally destroy this place, can I �� not come?��


    ��Huhu, boy, you��re still too tender! The path of cultivation is destined to be lonely! So what if father and mother, so what if friends? If they can��t cultivate to the apex realm, they will similarly pass away! Only oneself is eternal!�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed loudly and said.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Fine cracks started appearing in the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace��s space.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s aura became stronger and stronger.


    ��Heh, Immortal Grove, let me take a look at what you prepared for this emperor by spending five million years!�� Jiu Shang said with a laugh.


    Immortal Grove��s expression turned cold and he said, ��A shot arrow has no way of recalling! Boy, hope for the best for yourself!��

 Chapter 1884 - Stubborn Child

    ��Heh, then polish your move a bit more, see what I��ve prepared for you!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove kneaded seals with both hands, the other World Suppressing Stele below him suddenly erupted with an incomparably horrifying energy.


    That imposing momentum was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s!


    When Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang saw the situation, he smiled faintly and said, ��Just this bit of strength? Indeed much stronger than peak Empyrean. But you wouldn��t think that this kind of strength can kill me, right?��


    ��Is that so?��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed coldly, the seals in his hands moving once more.


    Suddenly, that World Suppressing Stele rose up from the ground and suspended in the air, emitting an incomparably dazzling light,


    That World Suppressing Stele��s power was actually strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s expression turned slightly dark and suddenly released his aura. A terrifying might of Heavenly Dao suddenly descended.


    Dense blue patterns reverberated in the air!


    Seeing those blue patterns, Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted.


    This thing, he was too familiar!


    Divine vestiges!


    Turns out that Heavenly Emperor powerhouse could actually control Heavenly Emperor divine vestiges!


    While at the same time, blue divine vestiges similarly burst forth from inside that World Suppressing Stele.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s face finally produced a trace of visible change in countenance.


    ��Haha �� Jiu Shang, didn��t expect it, right?! On this empyrean��s deathbed, I already glimpsed Great Dao and controlled divine vestiges! It��s just a shame that my body at that time was already a heavy burden on me. Otherwise, how could there still be the you today?��


    Amidst Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s laughter, it was filled with unwillingness and full of indignation.


    He was well-deserving of being a peerless genius among Empyreans, to actually be able to touch the threshold of Heavenly Emperor before death; only a step away from attaining Heavenly Emperor.


    What kind of existence were Heavenly Emperors?


    The realm of Dao Ancestors could not be fathomed, while the realm of Heavenly Emperor was the ruler of this Heavenspan World!


    This was a transcendent existence, an existence that towered above all life!


    He was of course unwilling!


    ��This Empyrean extracted the primordial energy within two empyrean spirit treasures, hoarding five million years worth of world power, for the sake of this strike today! You, prepare to die!�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed wildly and said.


    Rumble!


    Dense fissure started appearing in the entire Immortal Grove World. Endless spatial turbulent flows started pouring into the Immortal Grove World frenziedly through these rifts.


    The Immortal Grove World was currently walking towards death,


    These horrifying energies aren��t what the Immortal Grove World can withstand at all.


    Countless mortals were devoured by the spatial rifts in this instant, losing their lives.


    Once a Heavenly Emperor was enraged, corpses would float for ten thousand mils!��


    This kind of rhetoric already could not describe the tragedy of this moment.


    Ye Yuan��s heart was dripping blood. He already could not use words to describe the feelings in his heart at this moment.


    With his current strength, he could not stop the confrontation of these two mighty Heavenly Emperor powerhouses at all!


    Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp and he said to Dustless, ��Senior, can I communicate with the Immortal Grove World through the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl now?��


    Dustless nodded and said, ��Of course you can! But �� right now at this time, it��s too dangerous! Once the world crumbles, your divine soul will also be torn to shreds!��


    ��Can��t care that much anymore! If the Immortal Grove World is destroyed, I��d rather die!�� Ye Yuan said with the slightest hesitation.


    Dustless had spent a long time together with Ye Yuan and naturally knew his temper. He heaved a sigh and said, ��Fine, I��ll help you! But, promise me, once the matter cannot be done, you must get away in time!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, consciousness directly sinking into the two great empyrean spirit treasures.


    The World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, these two treasures, had long already become an inseparable part of the Immortal Grove World.


    Under Dustless��s help, Ye Yuan��s entire consciousness merged into the Immortal Grove World very quickly.


    At this very moment, his entire person became a part of the Immortal Grove World.


    That sort of feeling was very magical, as if he was this world.


    ��Ugh ����


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, a wave of sharp pain immediately transmitting over to his consciousness.


    It was as if his entire divine soul was being torn into countless pieces.


    Inside Ye Yuan��s divine sea, chaos divine essence and blue divine marks crept out, entering straight into the sea of consciousness!


    ��


    Fang Tian looked at the dark sky, looked at those endless spatial cracks, a look of despair on his face.


    ��Looks like Ye Yuan can��t save us again this time! The Immortal Grove World is going to be destroyed!��


    Skydistant had an ashen look as he said, ��We��re really too useless. Every single time, we need Ye Yuan to come and save! I also have no idea how he is right now.��


    Fang Tian said helplessly, ��That level of fight, Ye Yuan probably can��t intervene at all too. Otherwise, there wouldn��t be this current situation. How are Ye Yuan��s parents?��


    Skydistant said, ��Relax, arrangements have long been made. As long as the Immortal Grove World isn��t destroyed, they will be fine.��


    Fang Tian let out a sigh and said, ��Currently, this degree of destruction, the Immortal Grove World��s casualties have likely already reached above 50%, countless lives turning to ashes! Destruction is likely an irrecoverable thing already. Once the world utterly crumbles, even you and I have no possibility of surviving too!��


    The two people were just talking when that intense tremor of the earth actually gradually showed signs of stabilizing.


    Those continuously growing spatial cracks actually started gradually recovering!


    Fang Tian��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock, ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    Skydistant had a look of pleasant surprise as he said, ��Hahaha! It must be Ye Yuan! It must be Ye Yuan! Looks like we still have hope!��


    Fang Tian��s face also revealed an expression akin to being relieved of a heavy burden. He sighed and said, ��It��s really been hard on Ye Yuan!��


    Everyone��s faces all revealed looks of pleasant surprise.


    Except, they did not know what kind of anguish Ye Yuan was enduring at this moment.


    ��


    ��Puhwark!��


    A horrifying undulation came over, Ye Yuan immediately spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang glanced sideways and said smilingly, ��Huhu, this disciple of yours is really a stubborn child! For the sake of your small world, he actually doesn��t even want his life anymore!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove gave a cold laugh and said, ��Want to use him to make this empyrean waver? It��s no use! You must die today!��


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang laughed and said, ��That might not be so! As long as I can obtain the World Suppressing Stele, so what if I pay some price?��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed wildly and said, ��Is that so? Jiu Shang, savor well this big gift that this Empyrean spent five million years to prepare for you!��


    ��Heaven �� Sundering �� Finger!��


    In front of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, Dao vestiges revolved, condensing to form the appearance of a finger; incomparably corporeal.


    That horrifying aura, heaven and earth trembled from it!


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s face finally revealed a hint of solemnness.


    His aura also finally rose to the peak.


    ��Old Fart Immortal Grove, this emperor really admires you! I didn��t expect that you��re already dead and can actually still leave behind such a terrifying contingency plan! However �� it��s probably not enough for you to want to use it to kill me!�� Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang said with a solemn expression.


    Only to see him knead seals with both hands. A ring on Jiu Shang��s hand suddenly erupted with a berserk energy, boundless black gas surrounding his body.


    And the Dao vestiges around him immediately flourished significantly as well.


    ��Brahma True Fiend! True Fiend Dharma Idol!��


    An enormous black shadow blocked in front of Jiu Shang.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s face changed and he cried out in shock, ��H-Heavenly emperor spirit treasure! You actually have a heavenly emperor spirit treasure!��

 Chapter 1885 - He’s Dead for Sure!

    ��Puhwark!��


    One horrifying energy undulation after another impacted Ye Yuan��s divine soul, making his divine soul nearly collapse.


    His entire person spewed fresh blood wildly, his innards and divine soul suffering extremely terrifying impacts at the same time. His entire person was already on the brink of death.


    This True Fiend Dharma Idol in front of him was far from as massive as Kanuo they all. It was just the size of the average person.


    But its appearance made the entire Immortal Grove World quake.


    If not for Ye Yuan withstanding the vast majority of the pressure, the Immortal Grove World would have long already been crushed by the impact of this energy ripple.


    This was the real True Fiend Dharma Idol!


    The True Fiend Dharma Idol that Kanuo they all summoned was merely a tiny smattering.


    Especially that this True Fiend Dharma Idol was summoned under the augmentation of a heavenly emperor spirit treasure. Its power was even more terrifying to the extreme.


    ��Ye Yuan, give up! The exchange of blows between heavenly emperors, you��re completely unable to withstand it!�� Dustless said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, ��O-Once I leave, Father, Senior Fang Tian they all �� will all die! Even if I die, I �� I also need to hold on!��


    Dustless had a rare display of roaring at Ye Yuan as he said, ��The strike that Immortal Grove prepared five million years ago, its power is unimaginable! Once it collides together with the True Fiend Dharma Idol, it will produce several times, or even several dozen times the energy undulation in an instant! It��s impossible for you to save the Immortal Grove World!��


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said, ��Not trying �� how will I know!��


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan was extremely calm in his heart, his brain revolving like lightning.


    Letting him passively watch the Immortal Grove World be destroyed, that was not possible.


    Even if there was just a trace of hope, he also had to save the Immortal Grove World!


    While on the other side, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang laughed loudly and said, ��Could it be that you thought that in these five million years, I��d really do nothing? Even if there��s no way of improving a step further, that doesn��t mean that my strength won��t increase!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s gaze turned intent and he said in a cold voice, ��So what? Receive the power of my finger!��


    Finished talking, it was only to see Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove point a finger with one hand. That finger which condensed and formed suddenly crushed over towards Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang.


    The places that it passed through, space fragmented and divine essence surged.


    Feeling this horrifying power, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s expression also turned white as a sheet.


    One had to admit, this big gift that Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove prepared for him had indeed exceeded his expectations too much.


    Comprehending Dao vestige on his deathbed, just one step away from his fleshy body becoming emperor, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s talent indeed gave him a huge shock.


    However, as long as he made it through this move, everything was over.


    ��True Fiend Dharma Idol, block for me!�� Jiu Shang roared.


    That black True Fiend Dharma Idol suddenly welcomed that finger under Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s word of command.


    Rumble!


    That horrifying to the extreme undulation made the shattering space accelerate.


    Even with Ye Yuan��s protection, it already could not withstand the undulation anymore!


    Just as Dustless said, the energy collision of two great Heavenly Emperor powerhouses would produce several times, even several dozen times the energy undulation.


    And this energy undulation, how could Ye Yuan, a mere Celestial Deity Realm, be able to resist it?


    For him to be able to hold on until now, it was entirely based on powerful willpower as well as the mysterious divine vestiges.


    Except, these still appeared so powerless in front of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    Outside of the Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, the group of Empyrean powerhouses was also anxious and doubtful.


    The energy undulation of two great Heavenly Emperors already knocked Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace��s restrictions into a scattered mess.


    How could these powerhouses still dare to stay inside? All retreated outside.


    Once swept into the battle of two great Heavenly Emperors, that was absolutely certain death.


    ��This �� This power absolutely surpasses the Empyrean Realm! What in the world is going on?�� Zhao Min��s complexion was ashen as he said.


    Qiao Yuan and Eymond exchanged a glance, both seeing the look of pleasant surprise from the other��s eyes.


    ��Hahaha! I really didn��t expect it! Lord Jiu Shang actually came in person!��


    Qiao Yuan��s loud laughter made Zhao Min and Qiao Yuan��s faces change drastically.


    The Lord Jiu Shang from his mouth, they naturally knew who he was.


    ��It��s not right! Logically speaking, small worlds can��t withstand the might of Heavenly Emperors at all. Why is this small world still not destroyed yet until now?�� Yang Yidao suddenly said.


    A small world collapsing was not catastrophic to these people.


    Even if swept into a spatial turbulent flow, they still had the ability to protect themselves. So they were not flustered.


    It was just that to the people of the Immortal Grove World, there was virtually no hope of surviving.


    ��There should be someone supporting this small world. It��s just that �� apart from Lord Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, who else can maintain the small world from crumbling under the spell battle of two mighty Heavenly Emperors?�� Du Hong also had a look of puzzlement.


    At this time, Xu Xing who had always been low-profile to the extreme suddenly spoke up, ��Could �� Could it be Ye Yuan?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces turned austere.


    ��Impossible!�� Zhao Min��s first reaction was that it was not possible.


    This kind of thing went against common sense too much.


    ��B-But, don��t you all find it strange along the way? Ye Yuan seemed to have become invincible after arriving here! Even Ninth Firmament True Gods aren��t his match. The struggle for all kinds of treasures, he also held the advantage in all respects! Therefore �� he��s likely someone from the Immortal Grove World!�� Xu Xing guessed


    The surroundings were silent. Everyone was stunned by Xu Xing��s bold conjecture.


    It sounded as if it was a fantasy tale. But with Xu Xing saying so, everything became logical instead.


    Heavenspan World��s powerhouses arriving at small worlds, they were extremely proud.


    Because the so-called geniuses of small worlds were utterly worthless in their eyes.


    However, Ye Yuan��s talent crushed all of his peers.


    Even a prodigious character like Xu Xing was also crushed until there was not an unscathed patch of skin in front of him.


    Therefore, they would not think in this area at all.


    But now, with Xu Xing reminding, everyone had a sudden realization.


    By the side, Leng Qiuling��s beautiful eyes swiveled around, she was also stunned by Xu Xing��s guess.


    Without a doubt, among these people, she walked the closest with Ye Yuan and also understood Ye Yuan the best.


    Xu Xing��s conjecture was really extremely likely.


    ��But, even if he��s this small world��s new controller, with his Celestial Deity Realm strength, how can he possibly support the small world from collapsing?�� Du Jong said with a frown.


    Everyone exchanged glances, all filled with puzzlement.


    The energy impact of two great Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, forget about Celestial Deity Realms, even Empyreans found it hard to withstand too.


    ��Heh, who cares! No matter how powerful he is, when these two torrents of energy collide, it will also be the day where the Immortal Grove World crumbles! If it��s really Ye Yuan supporting this small world, then he��s �� dead for sure!�� Qiao Yuan suddenly laughed.


    Two streams of exceedingly powerful energy were currently closing in extremely swiftly.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Countless vines burst out from under the ground, tangling over toward the True Fiend Dharma Idol.


    The True Fiend Dharma Idol suddenly stopped.


    And right at this time, that Heaven Sundering Finger, arrived!


    At virtually the same time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes, his eyes shooting out rays of brilliant light!

 Chapter 1886 - The Reason for My Existence!

    ��Damn it! Kunwu Divine Wood!��


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s face changed swiftly, being put at a loss on what to do by this sudden turn of events.


    He recognized straight away that these vines were an extremely rare plant-type demon from the Heavenspan World, Kunwu Divine Wood!


    Kunwu Divine Wood��s offensive strength was not strong, but the degree of its toughness absolutely gave people a headache.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The True Fiend Dharma Idol was too strong. Even the Kunwu Divine Wood found it hard to stop its advancement too.


    Instantaneously, cracks started appearing on those green vines, then it broke free.


    But what Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove wanted was this instant!


    ��Go and die!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s eyes revealed a vicious look, all of his fury unleashing completely at this moment.


    A large hole was directly torn open in the entire space. Boundless spatial turbulent flow poured in, tearing this large hole bigger and bigger.


    Bang!


    With just the finger pointing, the True Fiend Dharma Idol was akin to suffering a heavy strike, immediately turning to ashes.


    The entire Immortal Grove World was trembling. Space was torn once more until it disintegrated and was already on the verge of destruction.


    When the group of powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one turned pale.


    One should not look at how they were all Empyreans and True Gods. A battle of Heavenly Emperor-level, they had never experienced it before.


    The shock that this horrifying energy undulation in front of them brought to them was too intense.


    ��Is this the power of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses? Too terrifying!��


    ��Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove has already died for five million years and he can actually still unleash such an earth-shaking attack, truly terrifying!��


    ��If Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove didn��t die, he��d definitely have already entered the ranks of Heavenly Emperors, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang might not be a match too!��


    ��


    These people all knew that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang seized a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit before he could corroborate his Dao and become a Heavenly Emperor.


    But Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove relied on his own strength. He exuded such a horrifying energy.


    With a comparison, whoever was superior was immediately determined.


    ��Heh, space already shattered, the Immortal Grove World is about to be destroyed right away, Ye Yuan is dead for sure, right?�� What Xu Xing was most concerned about was Ye Yuan instead.


    Zhao Min laughed coldly and said, ��If it��s really him maintaining the Immortal Grove World, then he��s probably already turned to dust now! Heh, reckless and blind thing, serves him right to die!��


    Xu Xing smiled and said, ��Right now, the people who entered Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace, apart from those who are already dead, they are virtually all here, only missing Ye Yuan! I think that the one supporting the Immortal Grove World is most likely him! Haha, this damn fellow is finally dead!��


    One had to admit, Xu Xing was still very smart.


    His analysis was practically exactly the same as the truth.


    But right at this time, the fragmentation of space suddenly stopped.


    That spatial black hole that was torn open by Heavenly Emperor-level power was currently recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Everyone��s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    ��What��s going on here? The Immortal Grove World is actually currently being repaired!��


    ��The power of two great Heavenly Emperors is currently erupting crazily. At this time, the shattering of space actually didn��t accelerate, but is being restored instead, how is this possible?��


    ��Could it be �� Ye Yuan?�� Du Hong suddenly said.


    Death-like silence, this scene was too unthinkable.


    What erupted before their eyes was an apocalyptic power.


    However, those spatial cracks were actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    This kind of immense contrast gave them a fierce misconception.


    Bang!


    The Heaven Sundering Finger eradicated the True Fiend Dharma Idol. However, its residual power did not disappear, abruptly landing on Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang.


    On Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s hands, heavenly emperor spirit treasures lit up once more, Fiendish energy gushed out frenziedly, using all of its power to resist this blow,


    However, this attack was too strong!


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s figure was immediately blasted flying out.


    Intense energy undulations immediately burst out, spreading throughout the entire Immortal Grove World.


    ��Giant mountain suppressing the world, unmoving like a mountain!�� A voice that reverberated throughout the sky emitted out of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    In the sky, a massive mountain emerged, drawing everyone��s attention.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s eyes revealed a dumbfounded look, looking at that young figure above the void.


    ��That �� That��s the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain! This �� This kid actually already refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain! He drew on the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain to suppress the Immortal Grove World! How �� How did he do it?��


    While talking, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove drew a cold breath.


    As the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s owner, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove naturally knew about the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    Although at this time, that virtual image in the sky was very blurry, unable to make out the shadow of the Heavenspan Mountain at all, he, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, was extremely sure that that was the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    The current Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, his figure became much more illusory.


    Clearly, that horrifying attack just now already consumed the last of his energy.


    Furthermore, his figure was currently fading away rapidly and was disappearing very soon.


    The last of his soul force was already thoroughly drained.


    Looking at the Ye Yuan in the sky, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s gaze gradually turned soft.


    With the �� light of being enlightened greatly.


    ��Hahahaha!��


    Suddenly, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed wildly without ceasing.


    The current Immortal Grove Heavenly Palace was already completely wrecked.


    The entire Godsfall Mountain Range was also already leveled to the ground.


    This place that made countless powerhouses of the Immortal Grove World perish disappeared in the end.


    A figure suddenly appeared beside Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove. It was just that this figure appeared extremely feeble.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s laughter abruptly cut off. But he did not turn around, saying lightly, ��Kunwu, on my deathbed, I finally understand!��


    This figure beside Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was none other than precisely the Kunwu Divine Wood who had already disappeared!


    Kunwu did not speak. He was currently extremely weak.


    Entangling the True Fiend Dharma Idol, even if it was just that short while, already made his soul nearly disintegrate.


    Facing a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he was still too weak.


    However, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove did not have the intention of letting him speak. He was saying for Kunwu to hear and also saying for himself to hear.


    ��I, Immortal Grove, achieved Divine Lord in 300 years, Celestial Deity in 800 years, True God in 3000 years, Heavenly Empyrean in 50 thousand years, and only used a million years to cultivate to peak Empyrean! I��ve always thought that I, Immortal Grove, am the person chosen by Heavenly Dao! In the future, I��ll definitely reach the apex, achieving Transcendent Heavenly Emperor, even becoming that tenth Dao Ancestor!��


    ��But, I never dreamed that I would actually die at Jiu Shang��s hands! I��m unwilling! I want revenge! I��m the person chosen by Heavenly Dao, how can I die? So, I laid down this heaven-shocking scheme, drawing Jiu Shang over. I want to make him pay the price, I want to make him die!��


    ��But, only all the way until this moment, do I understand that turns out, all this was merely my one-sided wishful thinking! The person chosen by Heavenly Dao isn��t me at all!��


    ��This empyrean broke through to Divine Lord, creating the Immortal Grove World! The Immortal Grove World gradually developed, having myriad realms, having the Divine Realm, having mortals, and having Divine Dao powerhouses!��


    ��This Empyrean��s strength became stronger and stronger, strong until it even made many Heavenly Emperor powerhouses extremely wary!��


    ��In my eyes, what do the mortals of small worlds count for? They are merely a bunch of ants!��


    ��Now, I understand. It turned out that the reason for my existence was in order to let this boy be born!��

 Chapter 1887 - The New Immortal Grove World!

    ��R-Recovered!��


    Looking at those spatial cracks gradually recovering, Fang Tian��s eyes were full of mixed feelings.


    The crowd that originally already lost all hope started cheering crazily at this time.


    That horrifying energy undulation already passed, the Immortal Grove World was not destroyed!


    Skydistant had lingering fear in his heart as he said, ��Really restored! How did Ye Yuan do it? That surge of energy undulation just now made me feel like I went to the gates of hell and back.��


    That horrifying energy undulation just now spread throughout the entire Immortal Grove World.


    Even Skydistant, this level of powerhouses, felt the aura of despair.


    But in a twinkle, not only was the Immortal Grove World not destroyed, it became even more stable instead.


    Got to say, this was a miracle that they did not dare to believe.


    ��Yeah, too horrifying! If not for seeing with my own eyes, I wouldn��t even dare believe that there��s actually such a horrifying energy in this world. I also don��t dare to believe that someone��s strength can reach such a boundary. In the end, we��re merely frogs at the bottom of a well. Ye Yuan, he is really remarkable!�� Fang Tian said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Currently, the survivors of the Immortal Grove World were all shouting crazily.


    That wild elation of surviving a calamity erupted like a volcano, bursting forth from the bottom of their hearts uncontrollably.


    ��


    Above the void, Ye Yuan looked down upon the world.


    His gaze landed on the gradually dissipating Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, full of mixed feelings.


    He understood Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s fury. But, for this reason, using the Immortal Grove World��s trillions of life to go take revenge, it was a little too vicious.


    Ye Yuan did not have compassion for all life, but he respected each person��s existence.


    Cultivating from Essence Qi Realm all the way until such a boundary, Ye Yuan��s journey of the heart was far more complicated than other martial artists.


    Even just a mortal also had their meaning of existence.


    In Ye Yuan��s view, Celestial Deity, True God, even Heavenly Empyreans, Heavenly Emperors, had no difference from mortals in essence.


    Each person was attempting to shake off the shackles of fate, and control their own destiny.


    Everyone was merely a speck of dust in this vast world.


    Ye Yuan would never be soft-hearted against opponents who had massacred billions of lives with a finger, but he would still satisfy his own selfish desires by sacrificing others as the price.


    In this lifetime, he had a clear conscience!


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s way of doing things made him incomparably indignant.


    If not for him connecting the Immortal Grove World to the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain at the critical moment, suppressing the Immortal Grove World with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s power, this world would have already turned to ashes now.


    However, for Ye Yuan to be able to have today��s accomplishments, it could be said to be all thanks to the Immortal Grove World.


    ��A person dying is like a lamp extinguishing! Today��s matter, I��ll leave it at this, you �� go with peace of mind!�� Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and said coolly.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove looked at Ye Yuan, his face revealing a consoled smile.


    Just as he was about to speak, a horrifying aura surged once more.


    ��A person dying is like a lamp extinguishing? Hahaha! You almost killed this emperor, how can this emperor let you die like this! Old Fart Immortal Grove, I want you to watch, watch your successor die in front of you! I want to completely destroy your small world!��


    Horrifying fiendish energy rose to the sky once more, making Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s face change drastically.


    ��Actually didn��t die!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove meticulously laid down such a scheme, he naturally had absolute confidence in killing Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang.


    But he never thought that Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang would be even more stubborn than he imagined.


    The power of that finger was ridiculously horrifying and he actually did not die!


    However, although Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s fiendish energy was horrifying currently, it was clearly far weaker than before.


    That finger still caused tremendous damage to him.


    Except �� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was already powerless to stop him.


    The current Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was invincible!


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang return once more, Qiao Yuan and Eymond��s faces revealed wild elation.


    ��Haha, how can Lord Jiu Shang die so easily? Old Fart Immortal Grove, you miscalculated, right?! Old Fart Immortal Grove, Ye Yuan, tremble!�� Qiao Yuan laughed wildly and said.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s expression was extremely ugly. This sudden turn of events seriously exceeded his expectations.


    ��Boy, today��s calamity was caused by me, I��ll resolve it, you quickly leave! Kunwu, we��ll delay him, give this boy the time to leave!�� Immortal Grove said.


    Kunwu gave Ye Yuan a glance and just quietly nodded his head.


    Being able to maintain the world from collapsing and contending with a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, these were two entirely different concepts.


    The entire Immortal Grove World was like a large web, although a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s might was terrifying, it was clearly not that easy to want to make the entire large web totally fall apart.


    The power that Ye Yuan drew from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was sufficient to maintain this web from being utterly torn to shreds.


    However, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse dealing with a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist, even if he was this small world��s controller, it was impossible to accomplish too.


    ��Hahaha! Want to leave? Today, no one can leave!��


    Clearly, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was already thoroughly enraged.


    Only to see him surge with fiendish flames billowing to the sky, condensing a black enormous sword.


    That horrifying aura tore the surrounding space apart once more.


    ��True Fiend Sword, Fury Chopping the Firmament!��


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang gave a furious roar and was about to unleash this True Fiend Sword.


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    A massive mountain fell from the sky, carrying an apocalyptic might, directly suppressing down.


    One blue fine-lines after another revolved incessantly on the giant mountain.


    Bang!


    That True Fiend Sword directly crumbled.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang let out a shrill scream, but it was already too late to want to escape.


    Bang!


    Another loud bang, the entire Immortal Grove World��s earth trembled.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was directly suppressed below the ground by the giant mountain without the slightest strength to resist.


    Everyone looked at that giant mountain, each and every one of their pupils constricting.


    ��This �� What is this, to �� to actually be able to even suppress a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse?�� Qiao Yuan said with an ashen look.


    ��L-Lord Jiu Shang wouldn��t have died just like this, right?�� Eymond said with a look of terror.


    ��What on earth did Ye Yuan do, why did he suddenly become so strong?��


    ��The Immortal Grove World is merely an Empyrean-level small world, even if he��s the new controller, it��s also impossible to suppress Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, right?��


    ��


    The Empyrean powerhouses and True God powerhouses were all incomparably struck with terror.


    The scene that happened before their eyes truly surpassed their understanding.


    But they also realized that right now, the Immortal Grove World already became spiritually renewed, and was no longer that fragile small world previously.


    And Ye Yuan this controller was already powerful to the extreme.


    With a flip of his hand, he thoroughly suppressed a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove and Kunwu��s eyes went wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    ��This empyrean �� This empyrean has never known that the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain can unleash such terrifying power!�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove muttered under his breath.


    The current Ye Yuan was still standing proudly above the void.


    It was just that his form became incomparably tall and big in everyone��s eyes.


    Celestial Deity Realm?


    That was just a joke!


    The current Ye Yuan already reached a level where he could disregard cultivation realms.


    In this Immortal Grove World, he �� was an invincible existence!

 Chapter 1888 - Suppressing Empyreans!

    Ye Yuan looked at the giant mountain, his heart cold and indifferent.


    No one was clearly than him what the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain signified.


    It was where Dao was located, the epitome of the Heavenspan Great Dao.


    Ye Yuan connecting it to the Immortal Grove World, the Immortal Grove World was no longer that fragile and dilapidated small world.


    In front of Heavenspan Great Dao, so what �� even if Heavenly Emperor?


    ��Jiu Shang, my father died in your hands. Our enmity is irreconcilable under the heavens! I��m powerless to kill you today, but �� there will come one day where I��ll make your soul dissipate! Get lost!��


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly, the giant mountain quietly dissipated. A stream of black gas rushed to the sky.


    ��Punk, today��s matter, this emperor has remembered it! After you go to the Heavenspan World, you �� will die without a doubt!��


    Bang!


    The black gas directly punched a hole above the void and disappeared.


    Looking in the direction Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang disappeared, a hint of regret flowed out of Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    The Immortal Grove World was a new Immortal Grove World.


    But his strength was still too weak!


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were naturally not that easy to kill.


    Moreover, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was even a fiend race Heavenly Emperor famous for having a tenacious life force.


    This level of a powerhouse, he could not kill him.


    If not for Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove seriously injuring Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang previously, even if he brought out the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it would still be difficult to escape death.


    But after today, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang suffered a heavy wound, he likely could not recover to his peak state anymore within several tens of thousands of years.


    Whoosh whoosh ��


    Two dark shadows suddenly shot up to the sky, wanting to follow in Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s footsteps and escape the Immortal Grove World.


    Ye Yuan looked and just laughed coldly: ��Can��t kill Jiu Shang doesn��t mean I can��t kill you guys! Since you came, then stay behind forever!��


    With a wave of a hand, the mountain appeared again.


    Bang!


    Two great fiend race Empyreans were directly suppressed by the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and did not even let out a scream and already turned to ashes.


    These two were merely initial-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouses. Compared to Jiu Shang, they were worlds apart.


    For Ye Yuan to want to kill them, it naturally did not take much effort.


    It was just that this scene in other people��s eyes was totally not the case.


    Zhao Min and Du Hong two people, their faces turned pale.


    Ever since stepping into Empyrean Realm, they had never felt before such immense pressure.


    ��This �� This �� Ye Yuan, the matter previously, it was all a m-misunderstanding,�� Zhao Min said with an ugly expression.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was like a torch as he said coolly, ��At this time, you��re telling me that it��s a misunderstanding? Along the way, your Celestial Deity Realm disciples wanted to kill me, True God Realm elders wanted to kill me, and even you, this Empyrean powerhouse, also threatened to kill me. Now, you��re telling me that it��s a misunderstanding?��


    Zhao Min��s expression was extremely ugly and he defended himself with sophistry: ��You �� You can��t touch me! I �� I��m Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s grand elder!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, ��Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital? What the hell is that! I even dared to suppress a Heavenly Emperor, do you think that I��d care about offending a great imperial capital?��


    When Zhao Min heard that, his expression was extremely ugly.


    Yeah!


    Ye Yuan already provoked a colossal giant like Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang. So would he still care about the Empyrean-level Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital?


    ��Alright, don��t harbor hopes of getting lucky anymore! You guys, none of you can escape!��


    While talking, Ye Yuan pointed a finger out. The wind and clouds changed colors.


    One blue fine-line after another condensed and gathered on his fingertip and suddenly fired out.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Ji Kang, Ji Xun, and Xu Xing, directly turned to ashes.


    The Empyrean Devilfeather inside Ji Xun��s sea of consciousness was also exterminated cleanly along with it.


    Zhao Min��s gaze turned intent, grabbing at Leng Qiuling like lightning.


    This scene happened too suddenly, everyone did not react in time.


    However, he was fast, but Ye Yuan was faster than him!


    With a flash, Ye Yuan already blocked in front of Leng Qiuling.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan pointed another finger out, Zhao Min seemed to have been struck by lightning, his figure falling back wildly without ceasing.


    Right at this time, the giant mountain landed once more.


    Bang!


    An Empyrean powerhouse of his generation was directly suppressed to death by Ye Yuan.


    The others looked at this scene with their hearts beating in fear, not daring to even breathe.


    Under the new Heavenly Dao, Ye Yuan was too powerful!


    The most terrifying was still that giant mountain, killing Empyreans like killing dogs!


    Done with these, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and pointed, a black hole appeared in the void.


    ��All of you leave!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The remaining people all looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief. Du Hong said with surprise, ��You �� You��re really letting us go?��


    At this very moment, this Immortal Grove World was like a giant cage to them.


    Inside this cave, no matter monstrous your power was, you also had to be suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    If it were them, they absolutely would not let these people leave.


    But Ye Yuan actually let them go.


    Hence, they did not dare to believe it at all, feeling that Ye Yuan was deliberately digging a pit for them.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��Before I change my mind, hurry up and get lost!��


    Du Hong��s expression changed, his figure moving, speeding over towards that black hole.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan did not do anything to stop.


    With Du Hong taking the lead, the others were akin to being relieved of a heavy burden, all following and leaving the Immortal Grove World.


    Ye Yuan looked at Leng Qiuling and said, ��What are your plans?��


    Leng Qiuling looked at Gu Tianque beside her and looked at Ye Yuan again, shaking her head as she said, ��I �� I don��t know either.��


    Ye Yuan smiled, fished out a piece of Seven-Colored Aegirine, threw it to Gu Tianque, and said, ��Senior Gu, Ye Yuan is indebted to your care a few days ago and has nothing to repay you with. Just take this Seven-Colored Aegirine as remuneration then!��


    Gu Tianque��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with a startled face as he said, ��Is �� Is Honorable Nephew joking?��


    With the Seven-Colored Aegirine, he absolutely had the confidence to break through to the Empyrean Realm.


    At that time, so what if Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Gu, you were implicated by Ye Yuan. Leaving this Immortal Grove World, you likely can��t be the city lord anymore. Previously, in front of Ji Xun, Senior Gu also protected me. This piece of Seven-Colored Aegirine, just take it as Ye Yuan��s gratitude. As for Qiuling, she probably can��t return to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital anymore as well. So she can follow me from today onward if she wants to.��


    Ye Yuan killed the Vast Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s Empyrean powerhouses and already sowed irreconcilable enmity with them.


    Gu Tianque and Leng Qiuling two people were the closest to him, this was what everyone saw.


    If they returned, they were definitely nothing good to gain out of it.


    Gu Tianque was different from Leng Qiuling, he previously thought that Ye Yuan came from some major faction, that was why he viewed Ye Yuan in a different light.


    When fighting for the Seven-Colored Aegirine, Ye Yuan already determined Gu Tianque��s character.


    As for Leng Qiuling, Ye Yuan already regarded her as a friend, it was naturally different.


    Gu Tianque hurriedly said, ��Huhu, this old man obtaining this Seven-Colored Aegirine, I��ll definitely need to enter closed-seclusion and won��t be able to take care of Qiulin. Then I��ll have to trouble Little Friend Ye to take good care of this obedient disciple of mine.��


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan definitely took fancy to Leng Qiuling, that was why he would put down such a high stake.


    Leng Qiuling still had an icy-cold appearance, but disappointment flashed across her eyes.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew what Gu Tianque was thinking in his heart, but he would not explain anything either. He just clasped his hands and said, ��Senior Gu, take care.��

 Chapter 1889 - Patrolling Inspector

    ��You shouldn��t have let them go!��


    After everyone left, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove let out a long sigh.


    When Ye Yuan did this, he did not stop it.


    Of course, he had no way of stopping it too.


    The present Ye Yuan already completely replaced him, becoming the master of the Immortal Grove World.


    This place already did not belong to him.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s body already turned into motes of light and started dissipating.


    Dustless��s body also formed. His expression was indescribably lonely.


    Ye Yuan gave Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove a glance and said coolly, ��I have my bottom-line when doing things. They only came in to seek treasures and have no grudge or enmity with me. Killing them I��ll find it hard to get over my conscience.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s expression became solemn.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was still angry about what happened before.


    It was fine that he set up this plot, but the Immortal Grove World��s trillions of life would lose their lives because of it.


    Those people were utterly worthless in Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s eyes. But in Ye Yuan��s eyes, those people should not die.


    Immortal Grove smiled slightly and said, ��Boy, a soft-hearted personality will only make you encounter more dangerous situations!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��What difference is there from animals if you��re ruthless and inhuman!��


    ��Hahaha! Truly a different type! Boy, I know that you��re unhappy that I made a wager with the Immortal Grove World. But no matter what, you��re the successor of my mantle! This point, you can��t wipe it away,�� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove laughed loudly and said.


    Ye Yuan did not smile, he just said coolly, ��If it wasn��t like this, do you feel that I��d be conversing with you patiently now?��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s face turned black and he said, ��Boy, whether you��re willing or not, you inherited this Empyrean��s mantle. Don��t you know anything about pecking order?��


    At this time, the Dustless who had been reticent all along suddenly spoke up, ��Actually �� whether or not Ye Yuan is considered the successor of your mantle, it��s really hard to say. He indeed obtained the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, but these two items were already abandoned by you. As for his cultivation method and martial techniques, it��s all inherited from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and has nothing to do with you.��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��He �� didn��t cultivate the cultivation method that this empyrean left behind?��


    Dustless shook his head and said, ��His ambition is even greater than yours. His ability is also above yours! The cultivation method that Ye Yuan created will shock the entire Heavenspan World om the future!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s expression became austere, and could not help recalling the events before.


    He was astonishingly talented. If he did not fall, it might not be impossible to reach the realm of Transcendent Heavenly Emperor in the future.


    But even so, he also did not obtain the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s recognition.


    But now, Ye Yuan already refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, becoming the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s true master.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove understood Dustless; he was not trying to spite him, but he really felt very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    If it was really as Dustless said, then could Ye Yuan��s future accomplishments be even more than Transcendent Heavenly Emperor?


    This �� was a little too preposterous, right?


    As if seeing through what Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was thinking, Ye Yuan��s expression turned slightly dark and he said, ��Those has nothing to do with you anymore, go in peace!��


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove could even put his hands on the artifact spirit that he nurtured for a million years for the sake of taking revenge and even made the entire Immortal Grove World be buried in death with him.


    If not looking on the account that he was the Immortal Grove World��s creator, Ye Yuan definitely would not let him die just like this.


    There was little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles.


    Although Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove bestowed grace on him, Ye Yuan already lost his patience.


    He had Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove had a common enemy, killing Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was also considered paying the kindness already.


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove clearly knew this outcome, so he departed very calmly.


    The light dissipated, there was no more Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove in this world.


    The peak powerhouse who once had nature at his beck and call in the Heavenspan World evaporated into thin air now.


    Ye Yuan looked at those gradually dissipating light dots, expression complicated.


    Not far away, Kunwu similarly had a complicated expression.


    That youth who forcefully broke through his realm back then already grew into a colossal tree!


    With a wave of a hand, even Empyrean powerhouses could be suppressed at will, truly unimaginable.


    ��Ye Yuan, let him follow you. This old thing owed Immortal Grove too much, he had no choice but to repay him,�� Dustless suddenly said.


    He knew what Ye Yuan was thinking, Kunwu was equivalent to being Immortal Grove��s accomplice.


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head, looked at Kunwu, and said, ��Senior once helped my mother, showing great kindness to me. If you��re willing, you can naturally stay by my side. But whether to go or stay, it still depends on Senior yourself.��


    Kunwu heaved a sigh and said, ��I��ll remain in the Immortal Grove World then.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not press the issue.


    ��


    The Immortal Grove World had a thousand things that needed to be done. Ye Yuan placated Fang Tian and the rest before bringing Leng Qiuling and the others out of the world through the World Locking Gate.


    Concerning the present Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan was no longer worried.


    As long as it wasn��t Heavenly Emperor powerhouses who entered, he could suppress with a wave of his hand.


    Of course, following his realm��s increase, before long, even Heavenly Emperor powerhouses could be suppressed too.


    So currently, he was not worried that someone would enter the Immortal Grove World again.


    It was still that narrow, winding trail.


    Recalling the close shave when leaving the world back then, the scene of being saved by Liang Wanru, Ye Yuan felt like a lifetime had passed.


    ��Also don��t know how Wanru and Fatty are,�� Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Later, Liang Wanru and Xie Jingyi went to the area under Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s jurisdiction under Xiao Feng��s arrangements.


    For so many years, there had always been no news.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s memories were revived at the sight of familiar places. He missed them quite a lot.


    ��Big Brother, if you want to see them, go take a look at them,�� White Light smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��These few years, I��ve always been busy searching for you guys and didn��t have time to go see them. After finding both Li-er and Lu-er, I really have to take a trip to Myriad Treasure Domain.��


    This place was not considered far from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Ye Yuan brought everyone and returned to the imperial city very soon.


    Back then, he left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to find White Light and the rest. With this departure, it was several hundred years.


    Returning to the city, Ye Yuan was also filled with emotions.


    But the current Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the top of city walls were covered in colorful flags, a road paved from white feathers stretched all the way to outside the city.


    Countless powerhouses were standing outside the city gates, extremely ceremonious.


    ��Your Excellency, could it be that City Lord they all knew that you came back and specially came to welcome you?�� Ning Tianping said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If they have this ability to foresee the future, I wouldn��t have needed to go all the way to Extreme Light Imperial City either!��


    ��Heh heh, makes sense. I wonder who it is, to actually put on such a grand display, really puts people off!�� Ning Tianping said.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said smilingly, ��Look, isn��t he here?��


    Ning Tianping looked over. Sure enough, he saw a resplendent and magnificent divine carriage descend from the sky.


    That divine carriage was extremely dazzling, exuding an aura that took people��s breath away. It was actually a celestial deity mystic treasure!


    The divine carriage landed on the flat ground, a young figure slowly walked out.


    Zuo Shujie at the front ranks, the group of Celestial Deity powerhouses hurriedly knelt down and cried out respectfully, ��Subordinate Zuo Shujie, leads Heavenly Eagle to pay respect to Lord Patrolling Inspector!��


    That young man had a haughty look, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt, completely ignoring Zuo Shujie and the rest, going straight into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Zuo Shujie was just about to get up, but then he heard that young man frown and said in a cold voice, ��Did I let you guys get up[1]?��


    [1] Yeh, I have no idea how you hear a frown, lol

 Chapter 1890 - A Slight Hesitation and He’s Finished

    ��Mo Xin!��


    Swoosh!


    A middle-aged man following behind the young man suddenly attacked, kicking a foot onto Zuo Shujie��s chest.


    Zuo Shujie spewed out a large mouthful of blood with a cough, figure flying out backward.


    This follower had Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation realm. Dealing with the Second Firmament Celestial Deity Zuo Shujie was too easy.


    Far away, when Ye Yuan saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.


    Just now, Zuo Shujie and the rest called this young man patrolling inspector.


    Could it be that Jiang Jadehall was already swapped out?


    Ye Yuan knew that patrolling inspector this position was of little importance to imperial capitals.


    Especially Southridge Ten Cities, this kind of small place, the opportunities were pitifully little.


    If there wasn��t any major change, they normally would not swap out inspectors.


    Furthermore, this young man looked young and even brought along a middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm follower. Logically speaking, he should have a lot of potential and status in the imperial capital. Why would he run to the Southridge Ten Cities to be a patrolling inspector?


    ��Lord Patrolling Inspector, you��re going too far!��


    This young man��s action completely infuriated Coldfeather.


    It was only to see him stand up swiftly and said with righteous indignation.


    The young man looked at him and said with a cold snort, ��Going too far? You country bumpkins don��t even understand the most basic etiquette. Since you all don��t know, then this envoy will teach you all! Mo Xin, this person was disrespectful toward this envoy. Kill him!��


    Clank!


    The sword edge left the sheathe, a streak of cold light flashed past, piercing straight at Coldfeather��s heart.


    No one could have thought that the new patrolling inspector was actually so vicious, to kill people at a word of disagreement.


    It was just that in front of a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, Coldfeather, this First Firmament Celestial Deity, did not have the slightest strength to resist at all.


    Coldfeather��s pupils constricted, virtually forgetting to retaliate, only to see an edge gradually magnify in his pupils.


    There was a series of exclamations all around, seemingly already seeing the scene of Coldfeather��s tragic death.


    But right at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Coldfeather.


    It was only to see him flick two fingers. With a clank, the long sword in Mo Xin��s hand was directly flicked flying.


    Mo Xin��s pupils shrunk, looking at that unfamiliar young man, full of apprehension.


    ��Ye Yuan! You �� You came back?��


    ��Ye Yuan! It��s really Ye Yuan!��


    ��Head Elder came back!��


    ��


    When those powerhouses kneeling on the ground saw this familiar figure, each and every one revealed wildly ecstatic expressions.


    This former legend had already disappeared for several hundred years.


    No one knew where he went, but his legend had always remained in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Especially when the new patrolling inspector arrived and was already trying to kill people, Ye Yuan��s appearance was even more encouraging.


    Several hundred years was not long, to a Deity Realm powerhouse, it was merely a snap of a finger.


    Zuo Shujie and the rest of the Celestial Deity powerhouses looked at Ye Yuan, eyes full of shock.


    In just this short five to six hundred years, Ye Yuan actually already broke through to the Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!


    When Ye Yuan linked up the Immortal Grove World and the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan had his body flooded by the Immortal Grove World��s divine essence and already directly broke through to the Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!


    This kind of thing was simply fantastical!


    One had to know, when Ye Yuan was stuck at Origin Deity Realm previously, it was a full 300 years long.


    Shouldn��t Celestial Deity Realm be harder than Divine Lord Realm?


    ��Ye Yuan, you finally came back!�� Coldfeather looked at Ye Yuan, his expression showing excitment and surprise.


    Ye Yuan also looked at Coldfeather and said smilingly, ��Brother Coldfeather, long time no see!��


    Sweeping a glance over, Xuan Yu, Coldfeather, Zuo Shujie, He Chong, including Ning Zhiyuan and the rest, were shockingly all present.


    Seeing these people, Ye Yuan also felt especially warm.


    These people also all looked at Ye Yuan, feeling a boost in morale.


    Ever since Ye Yuan created four mighty Celestial Deity powerhouses, he established absolute authority in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Those people who had grudges with him before, no one dared to go against him anymore.


    Ye Yuan rose to power and fame in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this place was like his home.


    Now, this young man ran over to play the tyrant and even wanted to make a move to kill people, making him very unhappy.


    The young man��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��Punk, who the hell are you? The person that I, Wu Tian, want to kill, you actually dare to save?��


    It turned out that this new patrolling inspector was called Wu Tian.


    Wu Tian was Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity, so his strength was pretty strong.


    Although Ye Yuan came onto the stage very shockingly, this was nothing to him.


    Let alone that an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse was even following by his side.


    Ye Yuan did not look at Wu Tian and just said to everyone coolly, ��All get up.��


    With Ye Yuan giving verbal instruction, everyone naturally obeyed and was about to get up.


    Wu Tian��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Without my orders, I see who dares to stand up! Don��t you all forget, I��m the newly-appointed patrolling inspector! Also, punk, I��m talking to you, are you deaf?��


    Everyone��s faces changed, all kneeling down again.


    The patrolling inspector��s authority was monstrous, life and death were up to his whims.


    Opposing the patrolling inspector would not have a good outcome.


    Ye Yuan still ignored Wu Tian. He just flicked his sleeves grandly, a surge of boundless divine essence rippled out.


    Inclusive of Xuan Yu and the rest of the Celestial Deity powerhouses, they actually all involuntarily stood up.


    ��If there��s any problem, I��ll shoulder it!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Wu Tian sneered and said, ��You shoulder it? Can you shoulder it? Now, I��ll make you kneel down!��


    Giving no chance to explain, Wu Tian immediately made a move, suddenly smacking a palm toward Ye Yuan.


    This palm was dealt too suddenly, no different from sneak attacking.


    The world power of a Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity suddenly erupted, making the faces of Zuo Shujie and the rest of the Celestial Deity powerhouse change suddenly.


    A Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity was too strong in front of them.


    ��Careful, Ye Yuan!�� Coldfeather warned.


    Although when Ye Yuan was at Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, he had always jumped realms to battle, Celestial Deity Realm and Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm had no comparison at all[1].


    One firmament higher could directly crush you to death!


    However, Ye Yuan just scoffed mockingly, finger probing out like lightning.


    Ahh!


    A scream came over, Ye Yuan directly ignored Wu Tian��s world power and clutched his throat.


    ��So strong!��


    ��I didn��t expect that after reaching Celestial Deity Realm, Ye Yuan can still jump realm and fight like this!��


    ��There��s big trouble now! Offending the patrolling inspector, we��ll all be in for it!��


    ��


    Subduing the enemy with one move, Zuo Shujie and the rest were all extremely shocked.


    Of course, beyond the shock, they were also all very worried.


    After all, the patrolling inspector represented the imperial capital!


    The expression of the old man following behind Wu Tian changed, but it was already too late to want to make a move.


    The old man threatened, ��Brat, let go of Young Master Tian! The consequences of harming him aren��t what you can bear!��


    Ye Yuan looked at the old man and said coolly, ��I��ll ask, you answer! Hesitate slightly and he��ll be finished.��


    The old man��s face changed, Ye Yuan did not take his words seriously at all.


    Seeing that the old man did not react, the force in Ye Yuan��s hand increased a bit more.


    ��Cough, cough, cough!��


    Wu Tian let out intense coughs.


    ��My patience is limited!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The old man��s expression changed and he said, ��You ask!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, ��Where��s Jiang Jadehall?��


    The old man did not dare to hesitate. He answered, ��He violated the imperial capital��s rules and is already thrown into a death cell!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked again, ��Who are you people? Why did you want to come to Southridge Ten Cities to be an inspector?��


    [1] Don��t know why it says Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, should be Origin Deity Realm?

 Chapter 1891 - Don’t Know How to Cherish

    The old man knew that who Ye Yuan was asking was not him, but Wu Tian.


    He was merely an attendant, although his cultivation realm was high, his status was clearly inferior to Wu Tian.


    ��Young Master Tian is Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, Linghua Pavilion��s disciple. His master is Linghua Pavilion��s ����


    The old man said halfway and was cut off coldly by Ye Yuan: ����Looks like my warning had no use!��


    ��ARGHH!!��


    A shrill scream emitted from Wu Tian��s mouth.


    His leg was already broken by Ye Yuan.


    The old man��s face changed. He brought up Wu Tian��s master because he wanted to make Ye Yuan scared.


    Who knew that this fellow did not yield to this at all, directly crippling Wu Tian.


    Wu Tian hurt until cold sweat covered his forehead. But Ye Yuan��s hand was still clutched extremely tightly.


    How could the old man still dare to take any chances? He could only say, ��Young Master Tian he �� took fancy on a maiden in Cloudjade Imperial City. Hence �� that��s why he would come here to assume the post of patrolling inspector.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he asked again, ��If he came to be the patrolling inspector, why would Jiang Jadehall be thrown into a death cell?��


    The old man said, ��Because �� he didn��t know how to appreciate favors.��


    When Ye Yuan heard this, his expression turned cold and he said, ��Jiang Jadehall wasn��t willing to hand over the position of patrolling inspector, so you guys plotted to frame him, throwing him into a death cell, is that right?��


    The old man was silent. Clearly, it was guessed correctly by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Very good, you can go and die already!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan was about to take action to kill Wu Tian.


    Wu Tian and the old man��s face both changed drastically, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so vicious, wanting to kill people directly.


    At this time, Zuo Shujie suddenly spoke up, ��Ye Yuan, you mustn��t!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, the force in his hand reducing a little.


    Zuo Shujie struggled to come before Ye Yuan, saying with an ugly expression, ��Patrolling Inspector Wu��s master is a True God powerhouse, the Wu Family��s status in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital is also extraordinary. Killing him, the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will have to be buried in death with him!��


    Cold sweat poured from Wu Tian��s head, gritting his teeth as he said, ��Yes, yes! I can��t die, if I were to die, Linghua Pavilion will surely be enraged! As �� As long as you let me go, today��s matter �� I��ll take it as if nothing happened.��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, fingers slowly loosening up.


    He could act recklessly and care for nobody by himself, but Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had so many people, he was more or less still somewhat wary of involving good people.


    The moment Ye Yuan��s fingers let go, Wu Tian shot away like lightning. This Ye Yuan��s strength was too terrifying.


    ��Wu Yun, kill him for me! Also, these few, leave none behind!�� Wu Tian pointed at the Zuo Shujie, Ning Tianping, and the rest behind Ye Yuan and said with an angry roar.


    The faces of Zuo Shujie and the rest could not help changing drastically when they heard it. He did not expect that Wu Tian actually turned hostile so quickly.


    If not for them pleading for mercy, Ye Yuan would have already killed Wu Tian. But in a blink of an eye, Wu Tian was going to kill them.


    The Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity Wu Yun, who here was his match?


    ��Humph! Reckless and blind think, to actually dare make a move on Young Master Tian! Today, I��ll have you die without a burial ground!��


    The moment the aura of an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity was released, everyone��s faces changed.


    That horrifying world power made Zuo Shujie and the rest had looks of despair.


    ��Patrolling Inspector Wu, this �� this is all a misunderstanding! Hope that Lord Patrolling Inspector can lift your hand high up in mercy and let Ye Yuan go! How he offended you, I, Zuo Shujie, will shoulder it alone!�� Zuo Shujie said decisively.


    Wu Tian burst into laughter when he heard it and said, ��This punk actually dared to break this envoy��s leg. He already committed a capital crime! What qualifications do you, a measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity, have to shoulder it? Today, all of you have to die!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Wu Tian, he said coolly, ��I already gave you the chance, it was you who didn��t know how to cherish it.��


    ��Hahaha! Chance? Brat, if it wasn��t for you ambushing this envoy just now, would this envoy be threatened by you? With Wu Yun around, can you still overturn the heavens? Do it!�� Wu Tian seemed to have heard a very hilarious joke, laughing wildly as he said.


    A cold light flashed, a streak of terrifying sword light rushed toward Ye Yuan.


    The power of an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity was extremely shocking.


    At this time, Zuo Shujie and the rest were standing behind Ye Yuan. As long as he moved aside, Zuo Shujie and the rest would definitely die without a doubt.


    This Wu Yun was clearly someone who had a wealth of battle experience, rather vicious when attacking.


    This sword was forcing Ye Yuan to meet the attack head-on.


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned slightly dark, the Frostcounter Sword suddenly making a move.


    Bang!


    A loud bang exploded between the two people. The horrifying energy immediately sent Zuo Shujie and the rest flying.


    ��All of you back away!�� Ye Yuan��s voice exuded iciness.


    Clearly, he was already genuinely enraged.


    Wu Yun��s pupils also constricted as he cried out in surprise, ��Laws fusion! Spatial law!��


    He never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan could actually receive this sword of his.


    Wu Tian��s expression also became incomparably ugly. He originally thought that Ye Yuan was not capable of lasting one exchange with Wu Yun at all. He did not expect that his combat strength was actually so fearsome.


    A Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity evenly matching an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity, this was a little too exaggerated, right?


    Zuo Shujie and the rest looked at that familiar, yet unfamiliar figure, shocked to the core.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was still so powerful.


    But it was a little ridiculously strong!


    Several hundred years ago, Ye Yuan was merely a second-rate junior in his eyes.


    Just how many years had passed?


    Ye Yuan��s current strength, making a round trip around the Southridge Ten Nations, he also could not find a match at all!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved slightly, his sword drawing out. That swift and fierce sword energy virtually made space shudder.


    Wu Yun��s eyes turned slightly dark, directly meeting it.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    In midair, a series of horrifying energy undulations came over.


    Cold light radiated in all directions, sword energy scattering everywhere.


    When Wu Tian saw this scene, his complexion turned pale.


    ��Young Master Tian, this brat is so strong. Lord Wu Yun might not be able to take him down. Why don��t �� we retreat first!�� Mo Xin spoke up.


    ��Shut up! Do you want this young master to be a cowardly turtle? If this were to spread back to the imperial capital, how will this young master still have face to meet people?�� Wu Tian said angrily.


    Mo Xin said anxiously, ��As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood! If this brat really wins, we won��t have a possibility of escaping anymore!��


    Wu Tian��s expression changed again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, ��Go!��


    He never dreamed that his first day coming to the Southridge Ten Nations to be the patrolling inspector, he would have to tuck his tail and run.


    The two people were just about to escape through the void and leave when a beautiful figure blocked the two people��s path.


    A peerless face unfolded in front of Wu Tian. But he was not in the mood to admire it at all currently.


    Because this woman��s aura was similarly very strong!


    Leng Qiuling��s strength was also Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    ��You guys can��t leave!�� Leng Qiuling said coolly.


    ��Damn it!�� Wu Tian gritted his teeth and suddenly attacked Leng Qiuling.


    Leng Qiuling was long prepared. Ice and fire, two powers of law, gushed out, making Wu Tian��s face change drastically.


    Although Wu Tian was strong too, compared to the Leng Qiuling who refined the Vermilion Bird true blood, he was far too lacking.


    The two people��s realms were on par, but Leng Qiuling��s strength completely suppressed Wu Tian.


    Right at this time, an incomparably swift and fierce sword light tore through the sky. Wu Yun��s corpse dropped down from high up in the sky, falling heavily onto the ground.


    The entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was deathly still.

 Chapter 1892 - Sequence of Events

    An Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity, to the people of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, it was virtually an invincible existence.


    But such an undefeatable existence was killed by someone under their eyelids.


    The opponent was just a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    To Ye Yuan, they were all too familiar.


    People��s impression of him mostly still stopped at that arrogant but peerlessly talented youth.


    No one could have expected that several hundred years�� time, he already grew to such a level.


    Over there, Leng Qiuling and Wu Tian��s battle also drew to an end already.


    With a flash, Leng Qiuling pointed a finger, directly landing on Wu Tian��s chest.


    Wu Tian was akin to being struck by a heavy blow, blood spurting wildly from his mouth. His figure was flying out backward.


    Ye Yuan��s figure floated down. Looking at Wu Tian, he said, ��If something happens to Jiang Jadehall, you��ll know that the most despairing thing in this world isn��t death.��


    He gestured Ning Tianping with a look. Ning Tianping understood it and went up to seal Wu Tian��s divine sea, and immediately brought him away.


    When Zuo Shujie and the rest saw this scene, they felt like they were dreaming.


    Today, the patrolling inspector arrived. In the end, he had not even entered the front door and was annihilated by Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan walk over, Coldfeather and the rest actually did not have a single person dare step forward to greet.


    The present Ye Yuan was no longer that junior back then!


    Ye Yuan naturally knew what they were thinking in their hearts and said smilingly, ��City Lord Zuo, Brother Coldfeather, you guys don��t have to be like this. This Ye Yuan is still that Ye Yuan, still Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder.��


    Hearing this, Coldfeather and the rest felt slightly relieved but naturally did not dare to treat Ye Yuan like in the past anymore.


    The group of people entered the city and went into the City Lord Manor. They naturally could not dispense with a bout of small talk.


    Ye Yuan also knew that these few years, Jiang Jadehall really did look after Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    As for the matters with people at the top, they were not aware.


    But Ye Yuan guessed that the reason why Jiang Jadehall fell out with Wu Tian was likely related to the promise with him back then.


    Because if he left the position of patrolling inspector, he would not be able to control Heavenly Eagle Imperial City anymore.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan was very grateful toward Jiang Jadehall in his heart.


    ��Looks like I have to make a trip to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital. Everyone doesn��t need to worry. The matter of the patrolling inspector, I��ll be thinking of a way to resolve it. In addition, I have some medicinal pills here. It should be helpful to the few of you.��


    Ye Yuan took out several bottles of medicinal pills. The pupils of Zuo Shujie and the rest all shrunk.


    Back then, Ye Yuan astounded the Southridge with alchemy. Now that several hundred years passed, his realm also stepped into Celestial Deity Realm, so then how terrifying would the medicinal pills he refined be?


    Sure enough, the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out, the quality was all extremely high.


    Helping them to break through realms was naturally nothing difficult.


    ��Oh, right, with Wu Tian��s identity, why would he run to Southridge to be the patrolling inspector for a girl?�� Ye Yuan suddenly asked curiously.


    Zuo Shujie sighed and said, ��These few years that you were gone, Cloudjade Imperial City produced a peerless genius called Rong Xiyue. This girl is the daughter of Cloudjade Imperial City��s city lord, Rong Hua. This girl was a Divine Lord since her birth. It was a historical moment for Cloudjade Imperial City. At present, she��s already Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity! Such monstrous talent, she was naturally valued highly by Linghua Pavilion and taken into the pavilion. Several years ago, Rong Hua suffered a heavy injury inside a mystic realm. Rong Xiyue left Linghua Pavilion and returned to Cloudjade Imperial City to take care of her ill father. This Wu Tian came for her.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and said, ��This matter �� likely isn��t that simple, right?��


    Zuo Shujie smiled bitterly and said, ��Southridge Ten Cities is merely a desolate and barren place; unable to have any ties with the imperial capital. This intel is all about events of the Southridge Lands. That��s why we could inquire about it. As for the rest, we��re powerless to do anything. As for Patrolling Inspector Jiang �� Sigh!��


    Things concerning Southridge Ten Cities were within the scope of Nine Pledge Imperial Capital. So no one would go and pay attention at all.


    If not for having someone like Rong Xiyue, probably barely anyone would know about this place.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said coolly, ��This is simple. Go to Cloudjade Imperial City and ask this Rong Xiyue and we��ll know.��


    His voice had yet to fade and Ye Yuan already vanished before everyone��s eyes.


    Zuo Shujie and the rest all exchanged glances, this Ye Yuan was also too vigorous and swift in doing things.


    Left at the drop of a hat and did not even give a heads-up.


    ��Heavenly Eagly is hundreds of millions of miles away from Cloudjade, this departure will at least take several month��s time too. Ye Yuan is ���� Zuo Shujie said speechlessly.


    But Ning Tianping smiled and said, ��His Excellency��s spatial law has already attained sublimity and have long comprehended the art of spatial shift. A single breath and it��s several hundred thousand miles! He��ll be able to return at most by noon.��


    ��Art of spatial shift! Fourth Firmament Spatial law?�� Coldfeather cried out in shock, even his pitch changed.


    He also comprehended spatial law and naturally knew how difficult it was to comprehend spatial law to the fourth firmament.


    These several hundred years, Ye Yuan��s spatial law attainments were actually already outrageously fearsome!


    The others were also extremely shocked, looking at Ning Tianping in disbelief.


    If they did not understand Ning Tianping, they would definitely think that Ning Tianping was boasting.


    Zuo Shujie sucked in a deep breath and said, ��Ye Yuan actually didn��t even use his full strength when he killed that Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity?��


    Ning Tianping smiled and said, ��That kind of Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity, his law comprehension isn��t even as high as mine. Why would His Excellency need to go all out to kill him?��


    Everyone was speechless. But at this time, their attention was placed on Ning Tianping.


    The present Ning Tianping refined the Black Tortoise true blood and already broke through to be a Third Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Merely a short several hundred year��s time, the Ning Family��s junior already grew to become Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s most formidable existence.


    This was simply unthinkable.


    Even Ning Zhiyuan also did not know what he should say currently.


    When one man attained Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too.


    Ning Tianping had flourished now and would definitely look after the Ning Family better.


    The Heavenly Eagle Imperial City in the future, the Ning Family would be the number one major family, no one would be able to replace anymore.


    Only now did he know, a wrong decision made in a moment of weakness really almost ruined the Ning Family!


    Fortunately, the Ning Family produced a Ning Tianping who had affection and loyalty, that was how it salvaged the situation.


    Otherwise, he would be the entire Ning Family��s sinner now.


    ��


    Although Ye Yuan��s spatial law made progress slowly, exhibiting spatial shift with his current realm, he arrived at Cloudjade Imperial City after two hours.


    He did not say hello to anyone, entering the City Lord Manor with a flash.


    Buzz!


    Ye Yuan did not behave secretively. Instead, he suddenly released the imposing momentum of Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity on him!


    With the vigor of his divine sea, his aura was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Sixth Firmament Celestial Deities!


    Cloudjade Imperial City��s powerhouses were immediately alarmed.


    A Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Sensing that vast divine essence undulation of Ye Yuan��s, his expression was incomparably ugly.


    That Fourth Firmament Cloudjade Imperial City powerhouse said in fear and trepidation, ��I��m Cloudjade Imperial City��s Meng Xing, I wonder what this lord came to my Cloudjade Imperial City for?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��I��m looking for Rong Xiyue.��


    Meng Xing��s pupils constricted and he said, ��Not long ago, Young Patriarch Xiyue already left Cloudjade Imperial City and went back to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he asked again, ��Then Rong Hua?��


    Meng Xing said respectfully, ��City Lord His Excellency left together with Young Patriarch Xiyue.��

 Chapter 1893 - Li-er’s News

    Outside of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, a figure phased and formed


    The young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at that model-like small city beneath his feet with a scornful face.


    Buzz!


    The moment the young man released his aura, a horrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire city.


    Zuo Shujie and the rest of the powerhouses were currently crowding around Ning Tianping and asking all sorts of questions at this time.


    They were very curious about Ye Yuan��s experiences in these several hundred years and naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.


    But right at this time, a horrifying pressure enveloped the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Zuo Shujie��s expression rapidly changed, his face ashen pale, cold sweat already faintly seeping out on his forehead.


    ��This �� What kind of pressure is this?�� Zuo Shujie��s expression was ugly as he said.


    This aura was too horrifying, horrifying until it made people unable to give birth to the thought of resisting.


    As for how strong it was, Zuo Shujie completely could not determine it with his realm.


    Tong��er[1] who had been playing with Treasure Pig all along noticed something. His gaze revealed a trace of uncertainty at first. He then said coolly, ��Judging from this aura, it should be an Empyrean.��


    Everyone��s faces quickly changed, looking at Tong��er in disbelief.


    ��E �� Empyrean? You��re not joking, right?�� Zuo Shujie said in disbelief.


    He seriously could not imagine why Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would be visited by an Empyrean powerhouse.


    ��Is Ye Yuan here? Have him come out for this Empyrean!�� Right at this time, a void reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, confirming Tong��er��s words.


    Professing as this Empyrean, that was naturally a Heavenly Empyrean!


    After the shock, Zuo Shujie brought everyone and went out to welcome him.


    That figure in midair appeared very illusory and also very dazzling, Zuo Shujie did not dare to look straight at it at all.


    Zuo Shujie knelt down respectfully and said politely and meekly, ��Heavenly Eagle City Lord, Zuo Shujie, pays respect to Lord Empyrean!��


    Although he did not dare to look straight at him, glimpsing through his peripherals, this Empyrean powerhouse was extremely young. This made Zuo Shujie incredibly shocked in his heart.


    He had naturally never seen before an Empyrean powerhouse, but even a fool would know that those able to achieve the position of Empyrean were all old monsters who had lived for millions of years.


    This young man in front of him was clearly not!


    Just where did such a young Empyrean powerhouse come from?


    The young man accepted it calmly and said coolly, ��Which one is Ye Yuan?��


    Everyone��s faces changed, not expecting that this Empyrean was actually here for Ye Yuan.


    For a moment, the atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.


    ��Looks like you guys feel that this Empyrean is very easygoing?��


    The young man��s palm slowly raised up, the winds and clouds suddenly changed!


    The heaven and earth spiritual energy within a radius of 100 thousand miles closed in towards him crazily.


    Empyrean-level world power suddenly released, heaven and earth changed colors because of it!


    For the first time in their lives, these remote hinterland powerhouses witnessed the terror of Empyrean-class powerhouses.


    And the price was death.


    If this palm landed, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would turn to ashes.


    Practically mustering up all the strength in his body, Zuo Shujie said, ��Lord Empyrean calm your anger, Ye Yuan he �� isn��t in the city!��


    The young man��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Wherever he is, make him come and see me.��


    This request was somewhat forcing people to do what they could not.


    But what to do?


    Forget about a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, even the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital was also too weak to stand in competition in front of an Empyrean powerhouse.


    Another bout of silence.


    The young man seemed to have lost his patience and said coolly, ��In that case, you all can go and die!��


    Waving his hand, the wind and clouds stirred, spiritual energy surging mightily.


    That howling gale blew until Zuo Shujie��s face hurt.


    ��Stop!��


    Right at this time, there was a ripple in the void, a figure emerged.


    When everyone saw that figure, their faces all changed drastically.


    ��Your Excellency, quickly leave!�� Ning Tianping howled.


    Ye Yuan did not leave, his gaze was currently sizing up that young man who was looking down from a height, confirming that he had not seen him before.


    The young man had a handsome face like carved jade, hair falling lightly; very good-looking, like the neighbor��s big brother.


    But that evil aura on his body could not be concealed no matter what.


    Clearly, he did not have goodwill toward Ye Yuan.


    ��You��re looking for me?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��You know Yue Mengli?�� The young man answered with a question.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled violently. Pupils constricting, he asked with his voice carrying a quiver, ��You know Li-er?��


    Bang!


    He did not see the young man take any action. However, Ye Yuan��s body was akin to being struck by lightning, turning into a sharp sword and falling to the ground.


    ��Is Li-er what you can call too?�� The young man��s gaze was sharp as he said unhappily.


    Ye Yuan vomited a mouthful of blood wildly, already sustaining serious injuries.


    This place was different from the Immortal Grove World, facing Empyrean powerhouses, he did not have the least bit of strength to fight back at all.


    Even if the other party just spat out a bit of world power, he could not block it too.


    But the current Ye Yuan was wildly ecstatic in his heart.


    These several centuries, there was no news about Li-er.


    At present, it being said from this young man��s mouth, at least Li-er was safe.


    A figure moving, Ye Yuan appeared in front of the young man once more.


    His injuries were dreadful to behold, but he stood stubbornly.


    ��Who are you? Is Li-er �� well currently?�� Ye Yuan ignored his injuries, he just wanted to know how Li-er was no.


    The young man��s brows furrowed slightly, world power erupting once more.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was blasted into the ground once more!


    The young man said in a cold voice, ��I said before, you have no qualifications to call Li-er! If there��s a next time, you��ll be dead for sure!��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure appeared once more. It was just that the aura on his body was extremely disorderly, full of wounds.


    The young man��s brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, he was rather unhappy with Ye Yuan��s stubbornness and tenacity.


    He did not hold back with these two blows. If it were ordinary Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, forget about flying in front of him, not dying would already be pretty good.


    But Ye Yuan stood in front of him stubbornly.


    No one spoke, it was silent between heaven and earth.


    Everyone��s eyes looked at Ye Yuan, full of worry.


    They knew Ye Yuan��s temper. Ye Yuan��s relationship with Yue Mengli, they were also aware of it.


    This Empyrean powerhouse that appeared out of nowhere did not even allow Ye Yuan to call a name, so how could he tolerate it?


    Toward Ye Yuan��s fury, the young man did not pay attention at all.


    The young man looked at Ye Yuan and said with a calm look, ��Just a Celestial Deity Realm ant, so what right do you have to be angry? I��m here to tell you that Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli is no longer someone in the same world as you. Starting from today, forget her! Otherwise, you know the consequences!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan moved.


    One step, two steps ��


    He moved closer to the young man step by step, countless blue fine-lines spread out from Ye Yuan��s body, winding over toward the young man.


    Seeing this scene, the young man who had always been calm and collected finally had a visible change in countenance.


    His pupils constricted and he cried out in shock, ��Dao marks! This �� how is this possible?��


    The blue fine-lines became more and more, thicker and thicker, practically enveloped the entire space.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes became colder and colder, not carrying the slightest hint of feeling.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s two eyes, no idea why, a chill welled up from the bottom of the young man��s heart.


    To an Empyrean powerhouse, Celestial Deity Realm did not pose the least bit of threat at all.


    But at this moment, a feeling called danger spread throughout his whole body.

 Chapter 1894 - : A Sneeze

    A region of space was currently quietly forming.


    The young man��s heart twinged fiercely. A feeling of incredible danger instantly welled up in his heart.


    ��Courting death!��


    Incomparably heavy world power suddenly erupted in an instant, crushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly vanished, escaping into the boundless void.


    The young man��s pupils constricted and he cried out in alarm, ��Spatial law!��


    At this moment, he no longer held back, the power of Empyrean Realm erupting completely.


    The berserk aura made the faces of the people below turn white as a sheet.


    This aura was much stronger than when the young man just appeared.


    The people understood that this young man meant business!


    No one would have expected that the situation would actually develop to such an extent.


    The Celestial Deity Realm Ye Yuan actually forced an Empyrean to go all out?


    Even thinking about it felt preposterous.


    One had to know, even if Empyrean powerhouses stood there and did not move, Celestial Deity Realm martial artists could not possibly cause them any damage too.


    This was the disparity in realms, and even more the gap in laws and Heavenly Dao comprehension. It was unable to be compensated for at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan did it!


    What in the world were those mysterious blue fine-lines?


    Forget about Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses not understanding it, even ordinary Empyrean powerhouses did not know the existence of Dao mark.


    That was exclusive to Heavenly Emperor powerhouses!


    This young man��s identity was clearly extraordinary. He only took one look and was extremely sure that those were Dao marks!


    Why would a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist have Dao marks?


    The young man did not know, he also did not have time to think too much.


    Dao mark was too dangerous!


    ��Asura Finger!��


    The young man pointed a finger, an apocalyptic horrifying aura suddenly erupted, making the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City tremble.


    With this finger landing, the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would be leveled to the ground!


    ��Puhwark!��


    The might of this finger had yet to completely erupt and Ye Yuan already could not withstand this pressure, being forced out of the void by the other party.


    Those countless blue fine-lines fell apart to pieces under this finger and were completely unable to construct the Divine Vestige Space.


    Ye Yuan spurted fresh blood wildly, his body flying out like a kite with a broken string.


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to being hauled out of blood from head to toe, looking grim and horrifying.


    The might of an Empyrean was too strong!


    The young man looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze cold as ice as he said in a solemn voice, ��Originally, I just wanted to give you a warning. Since you��re bent on courting death, then this Empyrean will send you off! Remember, the person who killed you is Lin Changqing!��


    The current Lin Changqing was already utterly infuriated by Ye Yuan.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was merely an insignificant ant and could not have the will to resist at all, let alone have the capital to resist.


    But just now, he actually felt threatened.


    The Empyrean powerhouse Lin Changqing actually felt the threat of an ant.


    His emotion turned angry from embarrassment.


    A finger landing, the horrifying power of law made a series of cracks tear apart in space.


    In the center of the storm, the bodies of many martial artists in the city suddenly exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist.


    This power already did not seem like it belonged in the mortal world.


    Lin Changqing was not just an Empyrean powerhouse, his law comprehension was similarly extremely horrifying.


    ��DIE!��


    A hint of delight flashed across in Lin Changqing��s eyes, the finger suddenly landing.


    Right at this time, a pink light suddenly shot up to the sky and met with this finger.


    Under this horrifying finger, that pink lump of flesh appeared very frail.


    Lin Changqing��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, ��Humph! Ignorant beast, a mantis also dares to block the cart!��


    ��Grunt! Grunt!��


    The pink lump of meat emitted an unpleasant sound, who could it be if not Treasure Pig?


    Between heaven and earth, that small flesh-ball appeared extremely, extremely small, just like a speck of dust.


    Treasure Pig��s nose suddenly twitched without stopping, mouth opening wide.


    ��Ahh �� CHOO!��


    Treasure Pig flew up to the sky and did a big sneeze at Lin Changqing.


    In such a solemn moment, this scene appeared extremely comical.


    But nobody could laugh.


    A horrifying air billow rose to the sky, meeting Lin Changqing��s Asura Finger.


    Rumble!


    Amidst everyone��s astounded gazes, that blast wind was akin to wind puffing away the clouds, and actually directly pushed the horrifying energy emitted by the Asura Finger back.


    Lin Changqing��s face suddenly changed. This sudden turn of events caught him by surprise.


    The sneeze that Treasure Pig did arrive in front of him like easily sweeping up dead leaves.


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing��s chest seemed to have been struck by a sledgehammer.


    Only to see fresh blood spurt wildly out of his mouth, figure flying backward, already sustaining heavy injuries.


    Everything flew away.


    Treasure Pig did a sneeze and tunneled back into Tong��er��s embrace lazily, falling asleep, as if nothing had happened.


    Death-like silence.


    Heavenly Eagle��s people all exchanged glances, not daring to believe the scene that happened before their eyes at all.


    The finger of an Empyrean powerhouse was actually sent packing by a sneeze just like that?


    Furthermore, it even injured an Empyrean powerhouse!


    Tong��er and Treasure Pig followed along with Ye Yuan, but these two fellows�� sense of presence were too weak. So no one paid attention to them at all.


    Who could have thought that this pink pig Ye Yuan brought over actually had such daunting strength?


    Ning Tianping, White Light, Leng Qiuling, all looked at Treasure Pig with incredible shock, as if it was their first time knowing it.


    They all knew that Treasure Pig was a glutton and only ate the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined.


    They also knew that Treasure Pig was a sleepyhead, sleeping several years away was also nothing difficult.


    But they did not know that Treasure Pig actually had such horrifying strength.


    Sensing all sorts of peculiar gazes, Tong��er rolled his eyes and said, ��Stare what stare? Never seen before such a beautiful pet?��


    Everyone broke down.


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! A bunch of ants! I��m going to level your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to the ground!��


    Lin Changqing who was bounced away several tens of thousands of miles away flew back again with a flash, covered in blood all over.


    Clearly, Lin Changqing was already foaming at the mouth with rage.


    Tong��er��s brows furrowed slightly, leaping up and facing Lin Changqing.


    ��Grunt! Grunt!��


    The Treasure Pig in Tong��er��s embrace opened both eyes rather tiredly and looked toward Lin Changqing somewhat lazily.


    Lin Changqing��s face changed as if being stared at by a desolate beast.


    Facing this snotty brat without the strength to tie up a chicken, he actually felt timid.


    More accurately speaking, he was nervous about the Treasure Pig in Tong��er��s embrace.


    Lin Changqing could not feel any threat from this adorable and pink lumpy piglet, and also could not sense any kind of might.


    But that sneeze earlier was real.


    Tong��er gave Lin Changqing a glance and said coolly, ��Brat, stop making a show of force here. I��ll tell you very responsibly, you don��t even have the qualifications to carry his shoes for him. Uh �� Give him some time, he��ll let you know what��s called despair. Now, get lost.��


    The originally incomparably haughty words sounded very comical coming out of Tong��er��s mouth.


    Tong��er��s voice was childish, sounding more like acting like a spoiled child and not a warning.


    But no one dared to overlook his existence.


    That ping pig held in his arms was too powerful!


    Lin Changqing looked at Tong��er, expression changing again and again.

 Chapter 1895 - 2000-Year Agreement!

    ��You��re saying that I��m inferior to this trash? Do you know what realm Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli achieved presently? Heh, not long ago, Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli already broke through to True God Realm! Trash like Ye Yuan can only look at her back as long as he lived! He isn��t worthy of Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli!��


    Lin Changqing��s words made everyone��s hearts quiver violently.


    Including Zuo Shujie these people, they naturally knew Yue Mengli.


    Back then when she left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, she was totally living under Ye Yuan��s light.


    All the way until today, it was also merely less than a thousand years from when she left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, she actually already stepped into the realm of True God!


    This kind of cultivation speed was simply unimaginable.


    Also, this Lin Changqing, although the exact situation about his skeletal age could not be seen, his vitality was extremely exuberant, akin to the morning sun. Clearly, his age would not be too old either.


    Such a young Empyrean powerhouse, to a character like Zuo Shujie, it was simply unimaginable.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan and the rest, they had never seen before such a young Empyrean powerhouse too.


    One had to know, even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, that level of unrivaled powerhouses, also spent as long as 50 thousand years to cultivate to Heavenly Empyrean Realm.


    Even though Ye Yuan displaying Dao mark previously made Lin Changqing very surprised, it was also merely just being surprised.


    With his guesses, he reckoned that Ye Yuan obtained the Dao mark legacy by chance inside some mystic realm, that was how he was able to display it.


    Although this kind of thing was rare, it was not impossible.


    As for Ye Yuan cultivating Dao mark himself, Lin Changqing did not think in this area at all.


    Because that was impossible!


    Since time immemorial, there have been countless peerlessly talented people. No one had ever heard before that someone could cultivate out Dao mark at Celestial Deity Realm.


    This kind of Dao mark legacy, used once and it would reduce once, belonging to a consumable item.


    A long way down the road, how many times could Ye Yuan use?


    Moreover, even if Ye Yuan possessed that flimsy Dao mark, he was also not his match at all.


    ��You �� Who the hell are you?�� Ye Yuan stared at Lin Changqing fixed and asked with clenched jaws.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes made Lin Changqing pleased with himself inwardly.


    Clearly, his words earlier triggered Ye Yuan.


    Lin Changqing laughed coldly and said, ��You don��t need to know who I am. You just need to know that you and Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli are impossible! You and she are already not people in the same world! Don��t say that this Empyrean is unreasonable. Here is a divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill here. It can help you cultivate to the True God Realm! But at that time, Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli will already be an Empyrean!��


    Originally, he was disdainful to explain these to Ye Yuan.


    But now that he could not kill Ye Yuan, Lin Changqing planned on explaining clearly the disparity between him and Yue Mengli.


    This way, as long as Ye Yuan still had a tiny trace of self-respect, he would not go find Yue Mengli either.


    He Chong��s pupils constricted as he said, ��Divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Pill! My god, that��s a medicinal pill that can help martial artists break through to True God Realm!��


    Zuo Shujie nodded his head and said, ��As long as peak Celestial Deity Realm martial artists consume a divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, there��s 70% chance of breaking through! But, Ye Yuan��s alchemy skills ����


    They all knew that Ye Yuan��s alchemy skills were a heaven-defying existence.


    Although not seeing him for several hundred years, they felt that Ye Yuan��s alchemy skills should not decline.


    For some time, the gazes of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s people became extremely odd.


    Swoosh!


    A streak of green light flew toward Ye Yuan. That was a small bottle containing the medicinal pill.


    The corners of Tong��er��s mouth revealed a mocking expression but did not stop it.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan pointed a finger out, that green little bottle shattered in the air with a bang.


    The medicinal pill inside was also blasted to residue by Ye Yuan, dissipating away into heaven and earth.


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help feeling their flesh hurt.


    You don��t care for it, but we care!


    Even if you don��t want it, there was also no need to directly destroy it, right?


    Lin Changqing did not reveal a look of surprise. He just said with a cold smile, ��Is that pitiful dignity? With this medicinal pill, perhaps after several tens of thousands of years, you still have hopes of standing in front of this Empyrean. But you destroyed it! But like this is good as well, every tub must stand on its bottom, forget Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli from today onwards!��


    Lin Changqing��s both hands were behind his back, showing unrivaled haughtiness.


    He had the capital to be condescending!


    Such a young Heavenly Empyrean powerhouse, who dared to say that he could not step into that fleeting and ephemeral realm of Heavenly Emperor?


    Such a character was the Heavenspan World��s true heaven��s chosen.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing and slowly extended two fingers.


    Lin Changqing was slightly taken aback. Even when Tong��er saw Ye Yuan��s action, he also revealed a puzzled look.


    ��2000 years!��


    Lin Changqing was very smart, after being dazed, he understood Ye Yuan��s meaning very quickly.


    Ye Yuan paused for a bit and continued, ��Within 2000 years, I��ll stand before you! Let you see if Li-er and I are people of the same world or not!��


    One sentence made everyone quiet down.


    Tong��er��s pupils also constricted, he felt that Ye Yuan��s boast was a little big!


    He was an Empyrean powerhouse himself and naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate to be an Empyrean powerhouse.


    He did not doubt that Ye Yuan could cultivate to Empyrean Realm, but in 2000 years, this was boasting too much.


    ��Hahaha! Truly shameless boasting! Since you have such confidence, then let��s have a 2000-year agreement, how about it? After 2000 years, you and I will have a battle! The loser will leave Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli!�� Lin Changqing let out a wild laugh and said.


    Ye Yuan��s words simply sounded like that boring self-esteem of the weak to him.


    Cultivating from Celestial Deity Realm to Empyrean Realm within 2000 years, this kind of thing absolutely could not possibly happen!


    Even if he was overwhelmingly talented and had countless medicinal pills and spiritual items to load up, he also spent 5000 years before cultivating to the realm of Empyrean.


    And his starting point was much higher than the vast majority of the Heavenspan World��s martial artists!


    He, Lin Changqing, was at the True God Realm during birth!


    Comparing talent, who could compete with him?


    One had to know, there were god knows how many martial artists in this Heavenspan World. But 90% of the martial artists were unable to step into the realm of True God for all their lives!


    But he had such a cultivation realm since birth.


    From Celestial Deity Realm to Empyrean Realm looked like it was just two major realms. But the distance between these two major realms was as far as heaven and earth.


    How many people who bragged and boasted about being geniuses were unable to cross these two major thresholds too, let alone talk about reaching it within a short 2000 years.


    These words were not pride, but ignorance!


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing and shook his head as he said, ��I, Ye Yuan, won��t use my own woman as a wager!��


    Lin Changqing had a look of disdain and was just about to scoff in contempt, but heard Ye Yuan continue saying, ��2000 years later, you and I will have a battle! The victor lives, the loser �� dies! Do you dare or not?��


    Ye Yuan stared intently at Lin Changqing, his gaze incomparably sharp.


    Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, they did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so decisive.


    Agreeing on a life-and-death match, this was originally nothing.


    But the disparity between Ye Yuan and Lin Changqing was too great. 2000 years was merely a snap of a finger. Agreeing to this wager was too disadvantageous to Ye Yuan!


    This was simply a wager without the slightest chance of winning!~


    Tong��er frowned and said, ��Kid, don��t be impulsive!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and just stared intently at Lin Changqing, opening his mouth once more to say, ��Do you dare or not?��

 Chapter 1896 - Magnanimous

    ��Do you dare or not?!��


    The world was silent, there was only Ye Yuan��s voice reverberating.


    What difference was there between such a declaration and committing suicide?


    ��Hahaha!�� All of a sudden, Lin Changqing laughed wildly without ceasing.


    After a while, the laughter gradually stopped, Lin Changqing said in a clear voice, ��Do I dare or not? Do you think I dare or not? If this Empyrean doesn��t even dare to answer the challenge of an ant, what Great Dao do I still need to seek?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, a stream of soul force crept out.


    ��Since that��s the case, let��s sign a divine soul contract!��


    Lin Changqing snickered and said, ��Why? Are you still scared that this Empyrean will go back on my word?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Aren��t you scared that I��ll renege?��


    Lin Changqing��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Is this Empyrean scared of you?��


    On Lin Changqing��s side, a stream of soul force also extended out.


    Two streams of soul force met in the air, an aura of Heavenly Dao merged into the two people��s divine souls.


    This 2000-year bet was officially effective.


    If anyone violated the divine soul contract, they would get a backlash from Heavenly Dao, the consequences extremely serious.


    ��Heh, really a foolish ant! Want to stipulate a battle with this Empyrean, you also have to accept the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill first. In that case, you at least still have that tiny trace of hope. As for now �� haha ����


    Lin Changqing was pleased with himself for a while because what could be accomplished in 2000 years, he was all too clear in his heart.


    The Heavenspan World had so many Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, but it had never been heard of that anyone could break through from Celestial Deity to Heavenly Empyrean within 200 years.


    Moreover, these 2000 years�� time, could it be that he, Lin Changqing, would be marching on the spot?


    With his talent, 2000 years was enough to make great progress!


    In this battle, he did not have any possibility of losing.


    ��Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, are you talking about this?��


    A small bottle appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand at no idea when. The moment the mouth of the bottle opened, a medicinal fragrance that made people asphyxiated instantly suffused between heaven and earth.


    Just that tiny bit of medicinal fragrance that escaped already made people intoxicated.


    Lin Changqing��s pupils constricted, looked at the small bottle in Ye Yuan��s hand in disbelief, and cried out in shock, ��You �� How can you have a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill?��


    Being born in a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, Lin Changqing naturally knew how difficult it was to refine a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill.


    Even in great imperial capitals, the chances of a void spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill appearing was small until it could be ignored too.


    Although rank five divine pills already did not have any effect on Lin Changqing, this did not mean that this medicinal pill that Ye Yuan took out was worthless.


    On the contrary, this one medicinal pill was invaluable, its price unable to be estimated!


    If Ye Yuan placed this Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill in great imperial capitals, it would absolutely drive all Celestial Deity powerhouses, even True God powerhouses crazy.


    As for imperial capitals, that went even more without saying.


    Vast spirit divine pills only had a possibility of appearing in a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, this kind of place.


    Furthermore, the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, this kind of level nine medicinal pill, forget about Five-star Alchemy Gods, even for Seven-star Alchemy Gods, barely anyone could refine it too.


    Above divine-grade, purple spirit, void spirit, vast spirit, end spirit, spiritlink, each rank was harder than the last.


    The further up, the more terrifying the difficulty.


    Reaching this kind of boundary, the difficulty of refining was completely unrelated to the hard work of the alchemist.


    Some alchemists whose talents were ordinary could reach Four-star Alchemy God, Five-star Alchemy God, even Six-star Alchemy God through effort.


    But, in terms of medicinal pill quality, they could not possibly reach vast spirit divine-grade this level, no matter how hard they work too.


    Refining this level of medicinal pill, one needed to have an extremely profound understanding of Alchemy Dao.


    If using purple spirit divine-grade has units, between void spirit and vast spirit, was separated by a million purple spirits!


    To the vast majority of alchemists, they could not possibly refine a vast spirit divine pill in all their lives too!


    Vast spirit divine pills this kind of thing, they only belong to those Alchemy Gods with exceedingly high talents.


    Lin Changqing was shocked beyond words, he used a purple spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill to humiliate Ye Yuan?


    Truly laughable!


    Unrelated to self-esteem, would the Ye Yuan who possessed a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill care about a measly purple spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill?


    Tong��er had a mocking look on his face and said, ��How can he have? Of course he refined it himself.��


    Lin Changqing��s face was finally no longer composed. He said with a disbelieving look, ��He refined it himself? Do you think that this Empyrean will believe it? A Celestial Deity Realm refining a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill? Do you think I��m stupid?��


    Tong��er shrugged his shoulders and said coolly, ��Believing it or not is your business. I have no need to prove anything to you; Ye Yuan naturally needs to do that even less.��


    Lin Changqing suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��I understand, this medicinal pill must have been obtained by you inside a mystic realm! But, so what if it��s a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill? In front of this Empyrean, you still don��t have any chance!��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan casually flung his hand, the small bottle in his hand flew over toward Lin Changqing.


    Subconsciously, Lin Changqing reached his hand out to receive, catching the small bottle in his hand.


    ��This medicinal pill doesn��t have any use to me. If you have any junior that needs it, I��ll give it to you.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Everyone looked at this scene with incredible shock, eyeballs almost popping out.


    This �� This was also too reckless, right?


    That was a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, he was actually going to gift it to his deathmatch opponent?


    Those Celestial Deity all cried out in alarm and went crazy! It was too much of a wanton waste of God��s good gifts!


    Pfft!


    But Leng Qiuling, Tong��er, and the rest could not resist laughing.


    Previously, Lin Changqing used a medicinal pill to humiliate Ye Yuan. Now, Ye Yuan returned an eye for an eye, using a vast spirit divine pill to retaliate. This was much more effective than a measly purple spirit divine pill.


    Lin Changqing��s expression was extremely ugly. Logically speaking, he should destroy this medicinal pill right away.


    But he hesitated!


    A vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill was too precious!


    Subconsciously, he could not bear to destroy it.


    He naturally did not need this medicinal pill. But just as Ye Yuan said, he had people in his family who needed it!


    A vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill was equivalent to a True God powerhouse.


    Furthermore, the potential of this True God would get a massive development and might become a Heavenly Empyrean powerhouse in the future.


    When medicinal pills reached vast spirit this level, the significance was absolutely not as simple as being a medicinal pill.


    Otherwise, with Lin Changqing��s experience and horizons, how could he possibly care about a mere rank five divine pill?


    ��Don��t need to feel embarrassed. Even though you nearly killed me today, I still have to thank you. You brought me Li-er��s news, this is a piece of tremendous good news to me. In the future, if you still need any medicinal pills, you can come to find me to refine anytime. Uh �� but you still need to prepare the spirit medicines yourself.��


    Seemingly seeing through what Lin Changqing was thinking, Ye Yuan took another stab viciously.


    But these words, it came from the bottom of his heart.


    Although he was almost killed today, being able to get Li-er��s new, he was very happy instead.


    At the very least, he knew that Li-er was doing very well currently.


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing was angered until his entire body trembled. The moment he used strength, the small bottle shattered to dust.


    The vast spirit divine pill naturally dissipated with the wind too.


    Lin Changqing stared intently at Ye Yuan, wanting to see a hint of heartache from his eyes.


    However, he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was calm to the extreme. There was no visible change in countenance toward the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill��s destruction at all.


    This meant that he really did not care!


    Lin Changqing was practically going nuts, he did not expect that today would actually play out like this.

 Chapter 1897 - : Nine Pledge Imperial Capital

    Ye Yuan was completely indifferent, but Lin Changqing felt his flesh hurt.


    That was a vast spirit divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill!


    Even in Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, this kind of thing could be encountered but could not be hoped for too.


    It was just that under this kind of circumstances, he had no choice at all.


    He was an Empyrean, he originated from a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, he had his own dignity.


    No matter how much he could not bear to part with it, he also had to destroy this vast spirit divine pill!


    He, Lin Changqing, could not afford to lose this face!


    Of course, he was actually already disgraced enough currently.


    ��Humph! Do you think that this Empyrean will believe that this medicinal pill was refined by you? You were merely a little lucky!�� Lin Changqing said with a livid expression.


    ��That��s your business, nothing to do with me. Go back and cultivate well, hope that you don��t disappoint me 2000 years later�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Lin Changqing��s expression changed, this damn fellow actually snatched his lines!


    Wasn��t this kind of word said for the weak to hear by the strong?


    ��Still not scramming?�� Could it be that you��re planning on staying behind to have a meal?�� Tong��er said in a cold voice.


    Lin Changqing naturally did not take Tong��er seriously. But right at this time, the Treasure Pig in his bosom suddenly opened its bleary eyes.


    All of a sudden, Lin Changqing seemed to stare at by a desolate beast.


    His expression changed several times. Finally, he still took a step out, figure disappearing.


    Whoosh ��


    Everyone all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    Since Lin Changqing appeared, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    The pressure of an Empyrean powerhouse was too fierce.


    Thud!


    After Lin Changqing left, Ye Yuan could not hold on anymore, fainting on the ground.


    Under the finger of an Empyrean powerhouse, it was already a miracle for Ye Yuan to be able to hold on until now.


    Only all the way until three days later did Ye Yuan slowly wake up.


    ��Big Brother, you finally woke up!�� White Light said joyfully.


    ��You punk, you were too reckless,�� Tong��er looked at Ye Yuan and said with a disdainful look.


    Ye Yuan just smiled. Under those circumstances, what could he do?


    It was just that in front of Heavenly Empyrean powerhouses, he was still too weak!


    ��2000 years to cultivate to Heavenly Empyrean Realm, boy, you also looking down on Heavenly Empyreans too much!�� Tong��er said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��2000 years should be enough.��


    His cultivation was different from the others. To the others, bottlenecks were the greatest obstacle.


    But Ye Yuan��s cultivation, it was comprehending Dao first, and only then cultivating.


    To him, bottleneck this sort of thing did not exist.


    All along, Ye Yuan would not deliberately pursue the accumulation of divine essence. Most of his energy was still placed on comprehending the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    Hence, when Leng Qiuling saw Ye Yuan again, that was why she would be so shocked.


    Divine Lord to Celestial Deity, this hurdle was not easy to clear, even to a genius like Leng Qiuling.


    But Ye Yuan cleared it easily.


    Everyone was stunned, especially Tong��er.


    ��You punk, really wildly arrogant! I really want to see how you��re going to break through to Empyrean Realm within 2000 years. Furthermore, you have to know that he definitely came from a lineage with a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, it might even be a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda! The cultivation resources that he enjoys is what you��re unable to imagine,�� Tong��err warned.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance. Suddenly, he reached his hand out and beckoned at Treasure Pig.


    Swoosh!


    Treasure Pig bored into Ye Yuan��s bosom very obediently, using its pig head to rub against Ye Yuan, so as to show affection.


    ��Heh, all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, this life of mine would be considered done for. Tong��er, just what kind of existence is Treasure Pig?�� Ye Yuan suddenly ignored Tong��er��s words and asked.


    Previously, he also thought that he was dead for sure. Who knew that Treasure Pig came roaring across the horizon, sending Lin Changqing flying with a sneeze.


    The shock that that scene brought to everyone was too intense.


    Among them also included Ye Yuan.


    Tong��er pursed his lips and said, ��How would I know?��


    Tong��er��s reply made Ye Yuan stunned.


    Ye Yuan always thought that Treasure Pig was Tong��er��s spirit pet and that he should be very clear.


    He did not expect that now he actually obtained such an answer.


    ��You don��t know?��


    Tong��er shook his head and said, ��Treasure Pig was handed down to me by the Bamboo Groove Void Realm��s previous generation Spirit Medicine Empyrean. Since then, it has always been following me. As for what origin it has, I don��t know a thing. Don��t use that kind of eyes to look at me. I asked the previous general Spirit Medicine Empyrean before, but he said that he didn��t know either.��


    Ye Yuan lowered his head to look at the Treasure Pig in his bosom, shocked speechless.


    All along, Treasure Pig had always been mysterious.


    But hearing Tong��er��s words, the mysterious feeling on Treasure Pig grew much stronger again.


    ��Alright, but I still have to thank you,�� Ye Yuan said to Treasure Pig.


    ��Grunt! Grunt!��


    Treasure Pig arched its head, that meaning seemed to be saying: no need to thank, refine for me more medicinal pills will do.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he saw the situation and said, ��Relax, the medicinal pills are definitely enough!��


    ��Oh, right, Your Excellency, you make a trip to Cloudjade Imperial City, how was it?�� Ning Tianping asked.


    Only then did Ye Yuan recall this incident. He shook his head and said, ��There��s already not a single soul there! This Rong Xiyue is likely not simple!��


    Ning Tianping��s face changed, and he said, ��Your Excellency, I need to tell you a bad news. Just not long after you fell unconscious, Wu Tian died!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, falling silent.


    This matter did not seem so simple.


    Only after a while, did he say: ��Come, let��s go to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, I��m rather worried about Brother Jiang��s safety.��


    ��


    Nine Pledge Imperial Capital was a middle-order imperial capital, it was not as prosperous as Thousand Soar Imperial Capital in terms of scale.


    But an imperial capital was an imperial capital. It was far from what imperial cities could compare to.


    Ye Yuan and Jiang Jadehall were on friendly terms. When chatting idly with him in the past, he had once heard Jiang Jadehall mentioned before. The Nine Pledge Imperial Capital had three major factions ��- the City Lord Manor, Linghua Pavilion, as well as the Kongming Academy.


    Behind these three major factions were said to all be middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses.


    Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s situation was different from the Thousand Soar Imperial Capital. These three major factions contended in the dark, neither willing to submit to the others.


    Of course, on the surface, it was still the City Lord Manor ruling the entire Nine Pledge Imperial Capital.


    But the other two major forces also secretly controlled numerous imperial cities.


    Jiang Jadehall came from the Kongming Academy, so the Southridge Ten Cities had also always been under the scope of the Kongming Academy��s power and influence.


    Of course, the Southridge Ten Cities this kind of barren land, the three major factions would not care about it very much.


    Hence, all along, the Southridge Ten Cities had been safe and sound. Apart from some minor conflicts, no overly major fluctuations happened before.


    Jiang Jadehall, this patrolling inspector, was naturally also very comfortable.


    Jiang Jadehall��s talent was not considered good. With his talent, it was already not too likely to have breakthroughs.


    But he heard Jiang Jadehall say that his daughter��s talent was extremely good, stepping into Celestial Deity Realm at a young age.


    Of course, this was also all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Back then, during the Golden Sword Pact, Jiang Jadehall requested Ye Yuan to help him refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill, it was for the sake of his daughter.


    The matters afterward, Ye Yuan naturally heard about it before. After his daughter consumed the Supreme Jade Void Pill, she broke through to the Celestial Deity Realm very soon.


    At present, Jiang Jadehall was thrown into a death cell, but it was the Linghua Pavilion��s people secretly rigging things here.


    Could it be that Linghua Pavilion already colluded together with City Lord Manor and planned on joining hands to deal with Kongming Academy?


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was always analyzing the sequence of events for this matter.


    Thinking to and fro, this kind of possibility was extremely high.


    It was just that, why would this Rong Xiyue learn of Wu Tian��s failure straight away and kill Wu Tian?

 Chapter 1898 - Break Your Dog Legs

    Kongming Academy, Flowing Wind Establishment.


    This place was the place where Kongming Academy managed disciples. After disciples like Jiang Jadehall returned to the imperial capital, they would all have to come here to report.


    Of course, on the surface, Jiang Jadehall was under the City Lord Manor��s jurisdiction.


    Inside the hall, a skinny old man looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze slightly surprised.


    The old man asked, ��You��re really Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder?��


    Such a young Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, even in the Kongming Academy, it was also not commonly-seen.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City that sort of place, the city lord was also merely Second Firmament City Lord. Now, this head elder that suddenly popped out was actually a Fifth Firmament City Lord, it was not up to him to not be surprised.


    This realm could go to some middle-order imperial cities to be city lord already.


    Ye Yuan fished out a token and handed it over, saying with a smile, ��I��ve always been traveling outside and only returned to Heavenly Eagle a few days back.��


    The old man received it and took a look. Sure enough, it was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder token without any falsehoods.


    Hearing this meaning, it was likely when Ye Yuan was traveling outside, he encountered some fortuitous encounter, that was why he would break through so fast.


    It might also be refining a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit.


    This kind of Celestial Deity Realm did not have much future.


    Thinking up to here, the old man naturally looked down on Ye Yuan much more.


    A Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, not say that they were all over the place in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, they were also not in the minority.


    The old man returned the token to Ye Yuan and said indifferently, ��What did you come to find this deacon for?��


    This old man was called Lu Chen, Flowing Wind Establishment��s deacon, and also Jiang Jadehall��s direct superior.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��Deacon Lu, Southridge Ten Cities�� original patrolling inspector, Jiang Jadehall, is this Ye��s close friend. This Ye heard that he was thrown into the death cell by the City Lord Manor because he committed something a while back, and specially came to inquire some news.��


    Lu Chen��s expression changed imperceptibly, but then he smiled and said, ��Turns out that it��s for Jiang Jadehall��s matter. Actually �� I don��t know much about his matters either. But, the thing that he committed wasn��t small.��


    How could Lu Chen��s change in expression hide from Ye Yuan��s eyes?


    But he came to ask people to do things and naturally would not be unaware of the proper limits for speech and action. He smiled slightly and said, ��Deacon Lu, please enlighten with your teachings.��


    Lu Chen stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart. Fishing out a small bottle, he passed it to Lu Chen and said smilingly, ��Deacon Lu has taken good care of Brother Jiang normally and naturally also took care of my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. This Ye has a small token here, Deacon Lu please kindly accept it.��


    Deacons like Lu Chen naturally could not dispense with a bout of extortions from arrivals from below.


    They managed patrolling inspectors, patrolling inspectors managed imperial cities.


    Patrolling inspectors lined their pockets from imperial cities, while they, these deacons, lined their pockets from the patrolling inspectors, exploiting layer upon layer.


    Of course, those like Jiang Jadehall basically did not show much filial respect.


    Even if he wanted to reap some profits, he could not reap much either.


    Hence, Jiang Jadehall��s status in this Flowing Wind Establishment was actually very low.


    He was merely a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity. Regardless of whether strength or status, it was not enough to be regarded with importance.


    ��This �� A heaven-grade Shu Yu Pill! Good stuff!��


    When Lu Chen saw the medicinal pill in the small bottle, his two eyes immediately lit up.


    Shu Yu pill was a middle rank five divine pill. It could increase Celestial Deity Realm martial artists�� cultivation.


    This medicinal pill was refined by Ye Yuan in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm very long ago. At that time, his standards when refining rank five divine pills were still lacking and he only refined heaven-grade divine pills.


    But this ruined pill was akin to a supreme treasure in Lu Chen��s eyes.


    Lu Chen received the Shu Yu Pill carefully and hurriedly put it away, as if afraid that Ye Yuan would regret it.


    ��Mn, not bad, at least you had the heart. But Jiang Jadehall��s matters, I urge that you��d better not get involved. Otherwise, you��ll even lose your life.�� Lu Chen put away the Shu Yu Pill and waved his hand as he said coolly.


    He seemed to have lost interest in continuing to talk with Ye Yuan and actually directly chased people away.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he controlled his temper and said, ��Brother Jiang showed kindness to me, this Ye is only here to inquire and have no other intentions.��


    Lu Chen��s brows also furrowed and he said impatiently, ��I had good intentions. You can go already!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart burned with fury. Two eyes narrowing slightly, he said, ��Deacon Lu took the benefits and isn��t doing work?��


    He also did not expect that this Lu Chen was so shameless. If he had long known so, he might as well have used the Shu Yu Pill to go feed dogs.


    Although this medicinal pill was insignificant to Ye Yuan, a heaven-grade rank five divine pill, its value was considerable.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s appearance, Lu Chen said with a cold smile, ��Why, in this Flowing Wind Establishment, are you still planning on attacking? Taking your things is thinking highly of you! A mere imperial city��s head elder also dares to be insolent in front of this deacon! Get lost!��


    Toward these people that came from below, Lu Chen was normally used to playing the tyrant and did not take them seriously at all.


    Ye Yuan��s attitude also stoked his wrath.


    When the people below saw him, which one wasn��t reverent and respectful?


    Now, this Ye Yuan actually dared to have such an attitude toward him, truly did not know what was good for him.


    A cold light flashed in Ye Yuan��s eyes and he said in a cold voice, ��Looks like you��re very cocky huh!��


    Lu Chen was greatly angered when he heard that and said, ��Brat, you think that by hitting the jackpot and refining a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, you can be insolent in front of this deacon? This deacon already gave you the chance, but since you��re not scramming, then I��ll break your dog legs and throw you out!��


    Bang!


    Lu Chen��s world power suddenly erupted, crushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Lu Chen was peak Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity, Ye Yuan was merely a middle-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity. He did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    It was only to see his figure flash, smacking over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan stood there and did not even move. He did not even release divine essence, as if he was frightened out of his wits.


    Lu Chen sneered when he saw the situation and said, ��Don��t even know how much capability you possess, to also dare be insolent in front of this deacon!��


    The two people were not far away, Lu Chen arrived in front of Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    In the next second, he would be able to cripple Ye Yuan.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan moved.


    He still stood there, it was just that his right leg swung imperceptibly.


    Crack!


    Only to hear the sound of bones snapping transmit over. Lu Chen screamed miserably, directly kneeling down in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Ahh! My leg!�� Lu Chen wailed.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coldly, ��Don��t even know how much capability you possess, to also dare attack others? Giving you the Shu Yu Pill was looking on the account of Brother Jiang��s face. Did you really take yourself to be somebody important?��


    Lu Chen hurt until he grimaced in pain, cold sweat pouring profusely.


    Ye Yuan��s kick just now already kicked until his leg bones were crushed to dust, unable to stand at all.


    He wanted to break Ye Yuan��s legs. In the end, he broke his legs with one move.


    The domain that his world power formed did not have any effect on Ye Yuan at all.


    Only now did Lu Chen understand that this ridiculously young imperial city head elder in front of him was really not to be trifled with!


    ��I �� I was wrong! I �� I beg you, let me off.�� Lu Chen was sweating bullets as he said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Not that I can��t let you off, but you should know what to do.��


    Lu Chen��s pupils shrunk, but he still nodded and said, ��I �� I��ll speak! I��ll tell you all that I know!��

 Chapter 1899 - Causing a Scene in Flowing Wind Establishment

    Hearing Lu Chen talking about Jiang Jadehall��s matters, Ye Yuan��s expression gradually turned cold.


    Turned out that Jiang Jadehall was recalled by City Lord Manor to report on his duties. But after entering the City Lord Manor, Jiang Jadehall was thrown into the death cell for the crime of assassinating Young Master Yu.


    This Young Master Yu was called Yu Jinsong, the city lord��s third son, Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation, his status extremely high.


    Jiang Jadehall, a measly patrolling inspector, but dared to assassinate Yu Jinsong, how outrageous was this kind of major crime?


    But after Ye Yuan heard, he could virtually confirm that Jiang Jadehall was being framed.


    There were seriously too many doubts about this incident. As long as one did not have a problem with their head, they could practically see through that this matter was fishy.


    Except, seeing through was one thing, whether anyone dared to say was another matter.


    This Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, how many people dared to provoke the City Lord Manor?


    Moreover, Jiang Jadehall was just the patrolling inspector of a barren land, his status in the imperial capital very low. No one would stand up for him at all.


    From the conversation with this Lu Chen previously, Ye Yuan could feel that Kongming Academy was also not willing to offend the City Lord Manor for this small matter.


    Ye Yuan stared at Lu Chen and asked, ��Jiang Jadehall still has a daughter. She should be a disciple of Kongming Academy. Where is she now?��


    Lu Chen��s expression changed, faltering, and not being able to speak.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, his heart plunged to rock bottom.


    Only to see his gaze turn cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Do you think that I don��t dare to kill you in the Flowing Wind Establishment?��


    Ye Yuan pointed his fingers as a sword, piercing cold sword intent instantly wreaked havoc inside the building.


    Witnessing such horrifying sword intent, Lu Chen��s pupils constricted, clearly frightened badly.


    ��S-S-She �� has already been expelled from Kongming Academy.�� Lu Chen said stammeringly.


    Ye Yuan��s face changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Jiang Jadehall was conscientious and did his best for so many years. If there wasn��t meritorious credit, there��s also hard work. Your Kongming Academy is too much!��


    Feeling Ye Yuan��s fury, Lu Chen was frightened inwardly and hurriedly explained, ��I-It��s not what you think. She �� She went to find Young Master Yu in order to save her father. In the end, no idea what��s the result, but she was sold to Carefree Grove. The academy felt that they lost face, that��s why they expelled her.��


    ��Carefree Grove?�� Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, clearly not heard of this place before.


    Lu Chen hurriedly said, ��Carefree Grove is one of the largest brothels in the imperial capital, one of City Lord Manor��s businesses.��


    Ye Yuan felt a surge of fire rise in his heart, these two father and daughter simply suffered an undeserved calamity!


    Ye Yuan reckoned that what this Lu Chen knew was also just this much. He could not be bothered with him either, directly turning around and leaving.


    But he had just stepped out of the door when a clear whistling sound sounded out.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Virtually right away, more than a dozen Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses dashed out, surrounding Ye Yuan until not even water could seep through.


    At this time, Lu Chen��s figure also flashed, posing like a pheasant standing on one foot, joining into the midst of this group of people.


    A middle-aged man looked at Lu Chen, frowning slightly as he said, ��Lu Chen, what happened, to actually release the enemy raid signal in the Flowing Wind Establishment��s headquarters? Mn? What��s with your injuries?��


    Lu Chen hurt until he hissed in pain. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he gritted his teeth and said, ��Assistant Head Song, this brat who came from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is so rude, to actually dare attack me in the Flowing Wind Establishment��s headquarters, directly breaking my legs! Just now, he even threatened to kill me!��


    Song Yancai looked at Ye Yuan somewhat surprisedly, clearly not quite believing it.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s name, he had some impression, it was a very impoverished imperial city. How could such a young Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity appear?


    Could it be by refining a Dao Fruit?


    But, with Lu Chen��s strength, how could he have his legs broken by this young man? Furthermore, it even did not cause too big of a commotion.


    In an instant, many queries flashed across in Song Yancai��s mind.


    ��Haha, Lu Chen, you��re also too useless, right? To actually lose to a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity kid!��


    ��A kid that came from a remote imperial city, he probably hit the jackpot and refined a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, right? This kind of trash, you can��t take care of him either?��


    That group of Celestial Deity powerhouses was mostly Flowing Wind Establishment��s deacons, ridiculing Lu Chen.


    Clearly, their thinking was the same as Lu Chen.


    Only then did Song Yancai make a hand gesture, looked at Ye Yuan, and said in a solemn voice, ��Young man, do you know what kind of serious crime it is to seriously injure a deacon in Flowing Wind Establishment?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Song Yancai and said with a mocking look, ��Serious crime? Huhu, looks like Kongming Academy��s spearhead is all pointed at their own people. Own person was framed by the enemy and thrown in jail, none of you looked into it, but want to denounce and accuse your own people, truly laughable!��


    Song Yancai��s face fell and he said, ��Young man, what high-sounding sentiments! A brat that came from a mere imperial city dares to speak to this establishment head like this?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a cold smile, ��Otherwise, how do you want me to speak? Can��t even protect your own people, still want to make me feel grateful to you? I have matters to attend to right now, all get lost for me!��


    Toward this Flowing Wind Establishment, Ye Yuan felt disinclined to have any favorable impression right now and naturally would not have any words of praise.


    Song Yancai��s eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, ��What a conceited brat, take him down for me!��


    These deacons obeyed the order and immediately rushed forward together.


    These dozen over people were all Sixth and Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses, their strength rather uncommon.


    While Song Yancai was even an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    In his view, wasn��t it still more than sufficient for these people to deal with a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity?


    But he was wrong.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly, figure immediately turning into an afterimage, before shuttling back and forth in the midst of these dozen over deacons.


    Very soon, a series of screams were emitted. One figure after another was directly sent flying out.


    The entire hall was quiet.


    Song Yancai��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of aghast, full of disbelief.


    A Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity defeated more than ten people who were one or two minor realms higher than him in a few moves?


    No, wait, not defeated!


    If Ye Yuan was willing, he would have already killed these people just now!


    Done with these, Ye Yuan put away his sword and swaggered out of the door, completely ignoring Song Yancai.


    ��Halt!��


    Bang!


    Song Yancai��s world power suddenly erupted, enveloping over toward Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have heard it and did not feel his world power either, walking out very calmly.


    Song Yancai��s expression flickered, but finally, he still did not make a move.


    He discovered that he actually did not have confidence in dealing with this young man!


    Only all the way until Ye Yuan��s figure disappeared from his line of sight, did he abruptly startle awake.


    Was �� Was he really a martial artist who refined a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit?


    Impossible!


    Song Yancai denied this idea straight away.


    Martial artists who refined Dao Fruits could not possibly be so strong!


    He looked at Lu Chen and asked in a solemn voice, ��You said that he came from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City just now? Southridge��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City?��


    Lu Chen was still in the midst of shock. Hearing Song Yancai��s question, only then did he abruptly startle awake, nod his head woodenly, and said, ��Y-Yes! I examined his identity token, he��s indeed Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder.��


    Song Yancai��s brows knitted together tightly and he asked again, ��Why did he come here?��


    Lu Chen��s expression was ugly as he said, ��For �� For Jiang Jadehall��s matter.��


    Song Yancai got a shock, his figure moving, vanishing from where he stood.

 Chapter 1900 - I’ll Bring You Out!

    ��Goodness me, what a handsome little brother! Quickly come in and take a look! Our Carefree Grove is a pleasure town, guarantee that you��ll have such a good time that you��ll forget to go back.��


    The moment Ye Yuan arrived at Carefree Grove, a middle-aged woman who had partly lost her good looks immediately came up to drag him, forcefully dragging him inside.


    Ye Yuan looked at the madame and asked, ��Does your place have a girl called Jiang Haitang?��


    The moment the madam heard, she immediately became vigilant and looked at Ye Yuan profoundly as she said smilingly, ��Young Master, this is a thorned rose. Although she looks ravishing, her personality is fierce like a fire! We have plenty of fine girls here, so why don��t �� Sir change to another one?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This young master likes wild horses, I want her. Arrange for a room and bring over for me.��


    The madam narrowed her eye and said with a nod, ��Since Young Master likes it, that��s fine as well. Come, men, bring this Sir up to the main room.��


    At this time, a hustler jogged over and led Ye Yuan into the main room.


    These lands of pleasure were similarly very well-received among martial artists.


    The journey of cultivation was extremely dreary, not everyone could focus wholeheartedly on Dao.


    After some martial artists with mediocre talent reached a certain realm, it was very hard to have breakthroughs again, and they would naturally be reluctant to part with the splendor of the world.


    This kind of martial artist was actually in the vast majority.


    Walking along the way, Ye Yuan discovered that this Carefree Grove��s business was really popular.


    The looks of the girls here were rather outstanding. Furthermore, each and every one of their cultivation was not weak, making Ye Yuan very surprised.


    Cultivation reached the Divine Lord Realm, even the Celestial Deity Realm, how could one be willing to come here and be reduced to the playthings of men?


    Ye Yuan maintained his composure and arrived in a fine room, the decoration inside was extremely luxurious.


    Before long, two burly men escorted a girl and pushed open the door to the room.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked over, but saw that this girl was thin and pallid, quite a number of bruises faintly on her face.


    Her hands and legs even had handcuffs and shackles.


    But before coming here, she had clearly been tidied up meticulously, concealing quite a bit.


    Although haggard looking, the stubbornness and resolve to die in this girl��s eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    Ye Yuan took a glance and could not help but sigh in his heart.


    After entering, that girl glared at Ye Yuan.


    If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have already died several times over.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Unlock her handcuffs and anklets.��


    Those two burly men were taken aback and said hesitantly, ��This �� isn��t appropriate, right? Sir, this lass is very fierce and has already injured many guests.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Do you guys feel that she, a lass whose divine sea is sealed, can hurt me?��


    One of them thought about it and still released Jiang Haitang��s restraints, and said with a cold snort, ��Be more obedient! If you still dared to be impolite toward guests, you know the outcome!��


    Finished talking, those two burly men went out.


    Ye Yuan poured himself a cup of wine and also poured a cup of wine for the empty seat opposite and did an inviting gesture, saying with a smile, ��Sit down and talk, drink a cup of wine to calm your nerves.��


    Jiang Haitang did not sit. She looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Shameless thing, want to use alcohol to knock me out? Dream on!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled when he heard that. Downing the cup in one gulp himself, he smiled and said, ��You��re called Jiang Haitang?��


    ��So what?��


    ��Your father is Jiang Jadehall?��


    Jiang Haitang��s face changed and she said in a cold voice, ��Who are you?��


    Ye Yuan looked at her and said smilingly, ��800 years, Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity, not bad, not bad! Looks like the effect of the Supreme Jade Void Pill has already been brought to play completely.��


    With this, Jiang Haitang really got a shock.


    She looked at Ye Yuan and said with unbelievable shock: ��You �� who the hell are you? Why would you know that I��ve taken the Supreme Jade Void Pill before?��


    The matter of Jiang Haitang having once taken a divine-grade Supreme Jade Void Pill was only known by her and her father, two people.


    Then, how did this young man in front of her knew?


    Unless ��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��ve already guessed it, haven��t you?��


    Jiang Haitang stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and said in disbelief, ��You �� You��re Ye Yuan? Impossible! My father told me that when you left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, you were merely a First Firmament Divine Lord. It has only been a few hundred years, how can you possibly cultivate to be a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity? Unless �� Unless you consumed a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit?��


    Ye Yuan made another inviting gesture, indicating for her to sit down and talk.


    This time, Jiang Haitang did not refuse, sitting down opposite Ye Yuan.


    Except, she still did not drink alcohol.


    Ye Yuan could perceive that she still had a vigilant heart towards him.


    Looks like Jiang Jadehall being thrown into jail and her being captured in a brothel made her produce an intense vigilant mentality toward everyone.


    ��Reach your hand out,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Jiang Haitang was taken aback but still extended an arm out as he said.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and put it on Jiang Haitang��s pulse, and slowly closed his eyes.


    Before long, he opened his eyes and said with a nod, ��Not bad, it��s indeed the Supreme Jade Void Pill that I refined.��


    Jiang Haitang was taken aback and said, ��You suspected me?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Just like you doubt me, I��ll naturally suspect you too.��


    Jiang Haitang thought about it and said with a nod, ��Alright, but I��ve already consumed the Supreme Jade Void Pill for eight to nine hundred years, you can tell whether I��m Jiang Haitang or not just by reading my pulse? Or �� are you tricking me?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The medicinal strength of divine-grade medicinal pills won��t dissipate so quickly. I believe that you��ve already felt the benefits of this medicinal pill. Higher grade void spirit divine pills, even vast spirit divine pills, can even affect martial artists for all their lives. The medicinal pills that I refined myself, I naturally have a score in my heart.��


    Jiang Haitang knew that what Ye Yuan said was right. With her talent, it was originally impossible to cultivate to be a Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity so quickly.


    These few years, during cultivation, the power of the Supreme Jade Void Pill still played a role at crucial moments. That was how it let her break through bottlenecks faster.


    One had to know, Jiang Haitang��s current strength already caught up to Jiang Jadehall!


    This kind of improvement speed was unimaginable to the previous her.


    ��T-Thank you!�� Jiang Haitang said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It is already my luck that you don��t hate me. If not for me, your father also wouldn��t have been thrown into the death cell either, and you also wouldn��t have been reduced to such a plight.��


    But Jiang Haitang shook her head and said, ��You don��t have to be like this. My father said that he owes you a great favor. His promise to you must be fulfilled! I know that he did it all for my sake ����


    Talking up to here, Jiang Haitang��s tears could not hold back anymore, flowing down akin to a dam that opened up.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, ��Brother Jiang is truly trustworthy! You rest assured, I absolutely won��t let Brother Jiang die just like this. Rather, it��s you . . how could you be foolish enough to ask a tiger for its skin?��


    Jiang Haitang cried bitterly and said through sobs, ��I �� I really had no choice.��


    Hearing Jiang Haitang��s tearful complaint, Ye Yuan��s fury was ignited once more.


    It turned out that Jiang Haitang went to find Yu Jinsong that day, but she was requested by him to offer her body to him before he was willing to let Jiang Jadehall out.


    Jiang Haitang��s personality was staunch with moral integrity and was unwilling to submit. Who knew that Yu Jinsong lit a Souleater Incense in the room.


    He drugged Jiang Haitang and sullied her innocence, and even sealed her divine sea, sending her to Carefree Grove.


    Jiang Haitang��s temperament was staunch with moral integrity and already long harbored the resolve to die. It was just that Jiang Jadehall��s life and death were unknown, that was why she dragged out an ignorable existence to this date.


    Ye Yuan sighed again after listening until the end. Pulling Jiang Haitang��s hand, he said, ��Come, I��ll bring you out.��

 Chapter 1901 - Going on a Killing Spree

    A warm and boundless divine essence directly rushed into Jiang Haitang��s divine sea through her meridians.


    That layer of seal was destroyed like crushing dead leaves.


    Divine essence instantly filled her four limbs and bones once more.


    Jiang Haitang looked at Ye Yuan, full of surprise.


    ��This �� This is Carefree Grove��s unique seal. Even if a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse came, he can��t dispel this seal too. How did you do it?��


    Places of pleasure like Carefree Grove, what they acquired were mostly very high realm female cultivators.


    As for how to control these female cultivators, they had their own methods.


    This seal, it was naturally impossible for ordinary people to crack it.


    Even if a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity guest came, it was also impossible to want to crack their seal.


    But Ye Yuan destroyed it like crushing a dead branch.


    ��Just a seal. It��s no big deal, come on,�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Jiang Haitang was stunned, but shook her head and said, ��We can��t walk out! The City Lord Manor is behind Carefree Grove, and this place has a peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity holding down the fort! No one can bring people away from this place.��


    In imperial capitals, True God powerhouses were all very aloof existences.


    For this kind of mundane task, there naturally would not be True God powerhouses to take care of it.


    In reality, peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deities could already suppress the vast majority of the people.


    Moreover, it was the City Lord Manor behind Carefree Grove, how many dared to be insolent here?


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I want to bring you away, no one can stop it.��


    Done talking, he did not care whether Jiang Haitang was willing or not, pulling her out of the door.


    Creak!


    The moment the door opened, five burly men already blocked outside the door.


    The madam looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smug look, ��I knew that Sir definitely didn��t have good intentions finding this slut. If you have fun here, our Carefree Grove welcomes it greatly. But if you want to bring people away, that��s a big no no. Sir, please be prudent.��


    Ye Yuan gave the madam a glance and said coolly, ��I want to redeem Miss Haitang��s freedom, state a price.��


    The moment the madam heard, she chuckled and said, ��Sir, sorry about it, upstairs have informed, this whore isn��t selling! Sir, I urge that you��d better put her down, you guys �� can��t walk out of here. You look at them, each and every one ferocious looking. If they were to hurt Sir, that wouldn��t be nice.��


    Seeing these burly men, Jiang Haitang��s complexion also turned deathly pale.


    ��Ye Yuan, you �� you go by yourself!��


    These few burly men all had uncommon strength, all having middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm cultivation.


    Being able to look after the house and courtyard here, one��s strength was naturally not ordinary.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look and slowly said, ��Is that so? Since not selling, then I can only forcefully bring her away.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan dragged Jiang Haitang and was going to walk outside.


    The madam��s patience was also whittled away completely at this moment, and said in a fierce voice, ��Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit, beat for me!��


    The five burly men rushed forward together, directly rushing into the room.


    Smack!


    A clear slap sounded out, the madam��s entire person flew down from the second floor.


    But those five burly men hit thin air and did not even catch the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves.


    ��Goodness gracious! This heaven-damned fellow! Quickly go and call Lord Fang Kun here! Someone is causing trouble!��


    Below came the madam��s miserable howl like a pig being slaughtered.


    Ye Yuan was neither too fast nor too slow, bringing Jiang Haitang and walking downstairs.


    The entire Carefree Grove had a large-scale array formation set up, locking space.


    Even a True God powerhouse could forget about teleporting out of here too.


    Otherwise, wouldn��t anyone be able to bring people away, or eat a free meal?


    Hence, even though Ye Yuan was skilled in spatial law, he could not possibly directly teleport out of this place too.


    However, this did not hinder him from displaying spatial law.


    Tossing and turning about within a small area, that was no problem at all.


    Jiang Haitang followed Ye Yuan, staring at his back view in a daze as if she was dreaming.


    Numerous strong guards rushed over, but she only saw one cold light after another shoot out.


    Middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses were killed with one sword without any exception!


    Even peak Sixth Firmament Celestial Deities would not do as well.


    Jiang Haitang originally thought that Ye Yuan was just a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, being not much stronger than her.


    But now, she knew that she was gravely mistaken.


    Ye Yuan��s might already exceeded her imagination.


    No matter how powerful the opponent, they simply could not withstand a single blow in front of him.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to be a hero of the era in her eyes.


    Everything was so calm and collected, everything was so casual and effortless as if nothing in this world could stump him.


    At this moment, Jiang Haitang��s eyes revealed a hint of hope.


    Perhaps her father could really be saved!


    Before long, there was already no one who dared to step forward.


    Those guards were all frightened until their faces turned pale. Places that Ye Yuan passed by, they immediately kept a wide berth, fearful that a ray of sword light from Ye Yuan would dismember them.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures flashed past, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    The one in the front was actually an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse.


    Among these four people, the weakest was also Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity!


    ��Hehehe! Great four protectors, you guys came right on time. Hurry up and kill this kid ����


    The madam was currently pleased with herself when a streak of sword light suddenly flew over, her figure abruptly stopped.


    Turns out that her head was already separated from her body.


    That Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity��s pupils constricted. He actually did not see clearly how Ye Yuan struck!


    Ye Yuan looked at him and lightly spat out two words, ��Get lost!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan brought Jiang Haitang and moved forward again.


    Learning what Jiang Haitang met with, Ye Yuan seemed calm, but actually, he was already furious to the extreme in his heart.


    He was currently just finding some people to vent his anger.


    And the Carefree Grove that had its back resting against the City Lord Manor was just right.


    Being compelled by Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum, the four great protectors actually took a step back without prior agreement.


    Ye Yuan advanced again, and they retreated again.


    Finally, that Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity could not stand it anymore and roared furiously, ��Attack together! Kill him!��


    Four streaks of sword light suddenly erupted. Four surges of world power formed a strange domain, surrounding Ye Yuan and Jiang Haitang tightly.


    This strike was a certain-kill move!


    The four great protectors had clearly received special training before, the four people��s cooperation was very tacit.


    Furthermore, their world power was even able to produce a resonance. Working together, the power multiplied.


    ��Where did this young man appear from? Such formidable strength!��


    ��Isn��t that so? Clearly only at the Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, but middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses are like paper paste in front of him.��


    ��But he��s too reckless, the four great protectors aren��t to be trifled with! The four of them combining forces, it was said that they had once killed a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse! Let alone that there��s a Lord Fang Kun who hasn��t taken action yet!��


    ��Heh heh, becoming enraged to the extreme for a woman, I like this kid!��


    ��


    The combat strength that Ye Yuan displayed made everyone sigh with admiration.


    But facing these four great protectors, they did not feel optimistic about him.


    Many minor realms away, furthermore, fighting one-versus-four, and these four people even had good teamwork.


    No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yuan did not have chances of victory either.

 Chapter 1902 - Swaggering Off

    A cold light flashed and disappeared, blood splattering.


    The neck of one of the four great protectors already had a large wound opened up, fresh blood spurting wildly without ceasing.


    It looked like he could not survive anymore.


    Just one sword move breached the formation of the four great protectors.


    Inside the Carefree Grove was silent, all using terrified gazes to look at that figure.


    How could this kid be so strong?


    So young and his strength was so formidable, but why would he actually be completely unknown in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital?


    One sword move felling the Carefree Grove��s four great protectors, this strength should be the crowning figure of this generation among Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s junior generation.


    Even that Linghua Pavilion��s Rong Xiyue probably did not have such strength either, right?


    Just where did this boy pop out from?


    ��Get lost!��


    Ye Yuan opened his mouth once more, taking a step forward again.


    The other three people��s expressions flickered incessantly, falling backward uncontrollably.


    The three people continuously fell back and actually unknowingly retreated to the entrance of Carefree Grove already.


    They retreated, but then there was no room for retreat!


    Falling back further and Ye Yuan would be out of Carefree Grove.


    At that time, without the grand array freezing space, it would be even harder for them to stop Ye Yuan.


    The three people��s expressions flickered incessantly and exchanged glances, a hint of decisiveness flashed across their eyes.


    ��Kill!��


    The remaining three great protectors mustered up their courage and rushed forward once more.


    ��Nine Polar Spectral Sword!��


    ��Scarlet Wind Deercry Sword!��


    ��Spirithorn Dawn Sword!��


    ��


    Sword lights radiated brilliantly. Inside the empty great hall, sword energy wandered everywhere.


    And Ye Yuan was in the center of this storm.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a flint, the four people exchanged blows countless times.


    There was a series of exclamations all around, their eyes could not keep up with the speed of the few people drawing their swords at all.


    The power of the four great protectors had long penetrated deep into people��s hearts. No one dared to provoke them here.


    But, Ye Yuan, a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, fought these three people head-on and was actually not the slightest bit weaker. This made them extremely surprised.


    These three great protectors were all Eighth Firmament Celestial Deities, each person was three minor realms higher than Ye Yuan.


    But they actually could not gain the slightest bit of advantage.


    ��A Sword Crossing the Void!��


    Swish!


    The moment the cold light appeared, all those present became silent.


    An Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity perished!


    ��This �� He is too strong!��


    ��Laws fusion! Spatial law! This is an unrivaled genius!��


    ��Just where did this kid pop out from? Such a character had never been heard of in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital!��


    ��


    In a twinkle, two of the four great protectors were removed. The shock that this brought everyone was too intense.


    And this sword also displayed Ye Yuan��s law comprehension to the fullest expression of its beauty and form.


    They finally knew why Ye Yuan��s strength was so strong.


    The two remaining people of the four great protectors looked at Ye Yuan with a look of terror, shocked speechless.


    That sword just now, regardless of who Ye Yuan unleashed it at, they were powerless to block it.


    Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and walked over toward outside the door again.


    How could the two remaining people still dare to stop it? They involuntarily retreated to one side and automatically opened up a path.


    The current Jiang Haitang had a blank look. This short distance of several thousand feet gave her a feeling like she was dreaming.


    She was being led by Ye Yuan mechanically, walking over toward outside the door.


    Ahead was Carefree Grove��s front door, just a few steps away.


    Suddenly, a layer of ripple appeared in space, a figure emerged before everyone��s eyes.


    A gray-robed middle-aged man��s gaze was cold, glancing at Ye Yuan, and taking a look at the two great protectors.


    One of the protector��s expression was ugly as he said, ��L-Lord Fang Kun!��


    ��Can��t even deal with a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, go back and receive punishment!�� Fang Kun said in a cold voice.


    That protector��s expression was ugly as he said, ��Y-Your Excellency, we ����


    Fang Kun gave a cold snort and immediately cut him off. ��Talking what nonsense? You refuse to accept it?��


    ��I �� accept!�� The protector��s expression was ugly as he said.


    All around, everyone��s faces were strange.


    They were all clear that today��s matter really could not be blamed on the four great protectors.


    But Fang Kun clearly did not care about these. He only looked at the result.


    Fang Kun was a peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity. His strength was much stronger than the four great protectors added together.


    In this Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, if True God Realm did not appear, he could practically sweep across all.


    Holding down the fort at Carefree Grove for so many years, no slip up had ever occurred before, he was the Carefree Grove��s sea-stabilizing needle.


    Even if a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity caused trouble, he also handled it all the same.


    ��With this, the matter has blown up, to actually startle Lord Fang Kun. Looks like today��s matter can��t be settled anymore.��


    ��Heh, Lord Fang Kun��s strength is extraordinary, this kid is too careless. A pity, having this strength at a young age, but have to die here.��


    ��Yeah, with his strength, if he really wanted to kill his way out, he would have long charged out. But he insists on taking his time to walk, he blundered now!��


    ��


    The people who were frequently at Carefree Grove all knew Fang Kun��s awe-inspiring reputation.


    No one dared to cause trouble at Carefree Grove, because they all knew that this place had Lord Fang Kun holding down the fort.


    Fang Kun gave a cold snort, turned his head to look at Ye Yuan, and was just about to speak, but then he heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Get lost!��


    Fang Kun was taken aback and said with a sneer, ��What a wildly arrogant brat, you don��t think that I��m the same as these trash, right?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��You��re no different from them. Not getting lost, you similarly have to die.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and walked forward once more.


    Fang Kun laughed wildly when he heard that and said, ��Reckless and blind thing, I want to see how you make me die!��


    But right at this time, a series of blue tattoos spread out from Ye Yuan��s body, cutting off the entire space.


    Divine Vestige Space!


    Currently, Fang Kun was very close to Ye Yuan, those blue patterns constructed and formed the Divine Vestige Space very quickly.


    Fang Kun��s heart palpitated, instinctively feeling that something was amiss, and instinctively wanted to break free of the fetters of the blue patterns.


    However, it was already too late!


    Fang Kun��s pupils constricted, incomparably horrified in his heart.


    Because he discovered that he was actually unable to shift through spatial law!


    His body was restrained within the blue space.


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, Fang Kun released an attack.


    However, the blue space did not waver at all.


    The blue patterns became increasingly denser and increasingly compact, finally teeming the entire space.


    ��L-Let me out! Damn it, let me out!�� Fang Kun howled in despair.


    Ye Yuan��s figure appeared, his eyes being incomparably cold.


    Fang Kun looked at Ye Yuan and could not resist shuddering.


    Those eyes even made a trace of chill well up from the bottom of his heart.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I already gave you the chance and asked you to get lost, but it��s you who didn��t cherish it yourself. So, go and die.��


    Ye Yuan lightly pointed a finger out, directly piercing through Fang Kun��s heart, destroying all his vitality.


    Thud!


    The divine vestige dissipated, Fang Kun��s corpse fell to the ground powerlessly. The surrounding was deathly quiet.


    Carefree Grove��s guardian, the peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Lord Fang Kun, actually died just like this?


    Everyone exchanged glances, completely no idea what happened.


    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and strutted out of Carefree Grove just like this, swaggering off.


    The two great protectors exchanged a glance, there was only shock left in the other party��s eyes.


    This scene was too astounding.


    Originally thought that there would be a heaven-shocking great battle, no one could have thought that Fang Kun died bafflingly just like this.

 Chapter 1903 - A Slight Move in One Part May Affect the Situation as a Whole

    ��What did you say?! Fang Kun was killed by a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity?��


    When Yu Jinsong got this news, he nearly jumped up from the seat.


    Fang Kun��s strength, he was all too clear.


    How could a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity possibly kill him?


    His first reaction when he heard this news was that he did not believe it.


    ��I-Isn��t that so? That boy used no idea what method, just like a cocoon, enveloping Lord Fang Kun inside. In just a blink of an eye, he died.��


    When the leader of the four great protectors recalled the situation back then, he still had lingering fear in his heart until now.


    With Ye Yuan causing a disturbance, the Carefree Grove came to a total standstill and was totally unable to operate anymore.


    That place was a money squandering establishment, it was a tremendous source of revenue to the City Lord Manor.


    With this, it was chopped by Ye Yuan. Yu Jinsong��s fury could be imagined.


    Yu Jinsong was angered until his expression was livid. Looking at the protector, he said, ��You said that that kid came from Southridge��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City? Furthermore, he was just Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder?��


    The protector sweat cold sweat profusely and said with a nod, ��Yes, Young Master! That kid��s identity has already been investigated clearly. It��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s head elder, Ye Yuan. Before going to Carefree Grove, he even made a trip to Flowing Wind Establishment and almost tore down the entire Flowing Wind Establishment! Oh, right, before he came to the imperial capital, he even killed the Wu Family��s young master, Wu Tian, as well as the Wu Family��s Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity retainer, Wu Yun. Coming to the imperial capital this time, he should be here for Jiang Jadehall��s case.��


    The City Lord Manor��s investigative ability was still extremely strong. Just used a night and they already inquired about Ye Yuan��s ins and outs clearly.


    Hearing the protector report one news after another, Yu Jinsong��s expression flickered incessantly.


    In this short half a month��s time, Ye Yuan already turned Nine Pledge Imperial Capital upside down, directly offending the three major forces.


    Although the Wu Family��s strength could not compare to these three forces, they were absolutely not some soft persimmon either.


    The Wu Family��s ancestor was a True God Realm powerhouse!


    Yu Jinsong narrowed his eyes like a venomous snake and said in a cold voice, ��Pass down the order for me. Three days later, openly execute Jiang Jadehall in Heavenly Grove Plaza! At that time, we��ll lay down an inescapable net. This young master wants to see whether he has three heads and six arms or not!��


    ��


    The news spread to City Lord Manor. As one of the three great factions, Kongming Academy naturally would not be unaware.


    Song Yancai was currently standing in front of a middle-aged man but was fearful after the event in his heart.


    Luckily when Ye Yuan left back then, he did not really make a move to stop.


    Otherwise, his outcome would be exactly the same as Fang Kun.


    Hang on, his strength was far worse than Fang Kun, there was no hope of surviving at all.


    ��Presently, the situation in the city is very delicate. Before yesterday night, most likely no one would have thought that an imperial city��s head elder would actually stir up such a great disturbance!�� The middle-aged man heaved a sigh and said.


    Song Yancai smiled bitterly and said, ��Who could have thought that a Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity brat could kill his way through Carefree Grove?��


    The middle-aged nodded his head and said, ��Jiang Jadehall is merely a puny little patrolling inspector and is totally insignificant. Waging war with City Lord Manor and Linghua Pavilion for him was seriously unwise. It��s just that no one would have thought that he actually got acquainted with such a remarkable young man. Carefree Grove��s business, everyone is very envious of it. No one has ever dared to cause trouble inside before. Who could have thought that Ye Yuan actually wiped them all out!��


    Song Yancai said, ��Then what should we do now? Ye Yuan already poked a hole in the sky, yet we �� are very passive!��


    The middle-aged shook his head and said, ��People above have already given the word. Jiang Jadehall must be protected! The City Lord Manor and Linghua Pavilion are eager for action. This boy has such terrifying talent, so he��ll definitely be able to assist us in the future. Hence, we have to make up for the past blunder at all costs!��


    When Song Yancai heard this, his expression changed slightly.


    ��


    Everyone in the city was searching for Ye Yuan. But after he brought Jiang Haitang away from the Carefree Grove, his entire person seemed to have evaporated into thin air. No one could find him.


    The City Lord Manor wanted to kill Ye Yuan, but they could not find him.


    Kongming Academy wanted to find Ye Yuan to explain things, but sadly, they could not find Ye Yuan either.


    Three days�� time passed in a flash.


    The matter of publicly executing Jiang Jadehall was already announced to the whole city through the City Lord Manor.


    When he saw the light again, Jiang Jadehall felt that it was rather piercing to the eye.


    He originally thought that he would die inside the jail dubiously just like that, but he did not expect that in order to kill him, the City Lord Manor made such a big commotion.


    Suddenly, a group of people in front came over.


    Seeing that person in the front, Jiang Jadehall��s entire body trembled slightly.


    It was precisely the one who framed him, getting him thrown in jail.


    Yu Jinsong came in front of Jiang Jadehall and said with a smug smile, ��Jiang Jadehall, are you very curious why killing you, a puny little patrolling inspector, would still cause such a big disturbance?��


    Jiang Jadehall��s heart was long akin to dead ash, how he died had no difference to him.


    The only thing that he was worried about was his daughter.


    Mucking around in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital for so long, Jiang Jadehall naturally understood his situation.


    He was merely the sacrificial item of the upper echelons�� fight.


    Who could care about the life or death of a puny little patrolling inspector?


    Jiang Jadehall drew a deep breath and looked at Yu Jinsong as he said, ��Young Master Yu, Jiang Jadehall is merely a minor character, so death isn��t regrettable. It��s just that I hope you won��t make things difficult for my daughter.��


    ��Hahaha!�� Yu Jinsong laughed loudly and said, ��How could I bear to make things difficult for Haitang, my Lord Father-in-law!��


    Jiang Jadehall��s entire body trembled, looking at Yu Jinsong in great alarm and rage, he said, ��You �� What did you do to her?��


    Yu Jinsong looked at Jiang Jadehall with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��What can I do to her? She came to beg me, beg me to let you out. I say, meat that��s delivered to my mouth, I can��t spit it out, right? Tsk tsk, didn��t expect that you, a coarse man, your daughter was actually so ravishing, really electrifying!��


    Jiang Jadehall was angered until his entire body trembled and he roared furiously, ��You �� Animal! Animal!��


    Jiang Jadehall bared his teeth, roaring at Yu Jinsong, but two rows of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes.


    His heart was currently already completely broken.


    But Yu Jinsong laughed very happily. Patting Jiang Jadehall��s shoulder, he said, ��Don��t be in a hurry. I still have a piece of good news to tell you! Someone came to save you!��


    The current Jiang Jadehall could not hear Jiang Jadehall��s words anymore at all. His mind was full of the image of his daughter being humiliated, hating to the extreme in his heart, and also hurting to the extreme.


    Seeing that Jiang Jadehall did not react, Yu Jinsong asked with a smile, ��You know Ye Yuan, right?��


    Hearing this scene, Jiang Jadehall��s entire body trembled, his eyes finally recovering clarity, looking at Yu Jinsong with a disbelieving look.


    ��You �� You��re saying that Ye Yuan he came back?��


    Yu Jinsong nodded and said, ��Not only did he come back, he even rescued your daughter from Carefree Grove. Are you very pleasantly surprised?��


    ��C-Carefree Grove? How is that possible?�� Jiang Jadehall��s pupils constricted, instantly thinking of many things.


    But, hearing that his daughter was rescued, Jiang Jadehall also felt his heart ease up.


    But very soon, his face changed, looking at Yu Jinsong with indignation, gnashing his teeth in hatred.

 Chapter 1904 - Not Giving Face.

    ��You �� You want to publicly execute me in order to lure Ye Yuan out?�� Jiang Jadehall said with a furious roar.


    Yu Jinsong had a smug look as he said smilingly, ��You��re not stupid, understanding it so quickly. Today, City Lord Manor has already arranged three True God Realm experts to lie in wait around the execution ground. The moment he appears, the three great True God Realm powerhouses will attack at the same time! You guess, what will be his outcome? Hahaha!��


    Jiang Jadehall was incomparably shocked in his heart. In order to deal with Ye Yuan, the City Lord Manor actually sent out three True God Realm powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was actually already powerful to such a degree?


    It had just been a short few hundred years, Ye Yuan��s growth completely exceeded his imagination.


    Ye Yuan barged into a dragon��s lair, a tiger��s den alone in order to save him and save Jiang Haitang. He was very touched in his heart.


    This made his promise to Ye Yuan become very important.


    Except, this Yu Jinsong was shameless when doing things, by fair means or foul.


    If he rashly came to save him, wouldn��t he lose his life in vain?


    Thinking up to here, his hatred toward Yu Jinsong was even more akin to a wave that dashed to the sky.


    ��You �� Despicable! Shameless! Yu Jinsong, even if I, Jiang Jadehall, become a ghost, I won��t let you off either!��


    Jiang Jadehall gnashed his teeth in hatred, doing his best, wanting to break free of the shackles.


    It was just a pity that this shackle was forged from purple gold divine metal. Forget that his divine sea was sealed, even normally, it was impossible to break free too.


    ��Become a ghost? Hehe, you need to have a chance to become a ghost too! Bring him away!��


    Yu Jinsong waved his sleeves grandly, the guard escorted Jiang Jadehall and marched for the execution grounds.


    Jiang Jadehall was being sent away, his face ashen.


    He hated Yu Jinsong, he hated his inability!


    But he was completely powerless to change anything.


    ��Ye Yuan, you �� shouldn��t have come!�� Two rows of hot tears flowed down his face.


    ��


    There had never been a lack of those who wanted to watch the fun. Currently, Heavenly Grove Plaza was long already packed full of people, nowhere to find a foothold at all.


    ��Really can��t understand why executing a puny little patrolling inspector has to cause such a big commotion.��


    ��Heh, you don��t know this, right? Do you know who was the girl who was rescued, slaughtering their way out of Carefree Grove? It��s this Jiang Jadehall��s daughter! This show today, the real interest of the drunkard isn��t in the wine!��


    ��You��re talking about that Ye Yuan? Terrific lad, that��s a god! A Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity and he actually slew Lord Fang Kun, truly remarkable.��


    ��A shame! This scheme that Young Master Yu came up with today, even if Ye Yuan knows that it��s a pit, he has to jump too! Unless, he doesn��t want to save Jiang Jadehall anymore.��


    ��


    The matter of Ye Yuan causing a disturbance in Carefree Grove was no longer some secret long ago. It caused a huge stir in the city.


    Curious folks naturally clawed out the whole sequence of events.


    Originally, an insignificant patrolling inspector. But now, because of Ye Yuan��s trouble-making, the degree of focus was extremely high.


    Today, so many people came, wanting to see whether Ye Yuan dared to come or not.


    Yu Jinsong sat on the seat of honor with a relaxed look.


    ��Discovered Ye Yuan yet?�� Yu Jinsong said to the protector behind him.


    This Wang Hu was precisely the leader of the four great protectors who had once fought with Ye Yuan before.


    Hearing Yu Jinsong��s question, Wang Hu shook his head and said, ��Reporting to Young Master, didn��t discover traces. Young Master, we put on such a grand line-up, so he �� probably don��t dare to come, right?��


    Yu Jinsong smiled and said, ��This kid has been friends with Jiang Jadehall for several hundred years, their friendship very close. This time, for Jiang Jadehall��s sake, he barged into Carefree Grove alone and rescued Jiang Haitang. It can be seen how important he views Jiang Jadehall. Therefore, there��s no way he doesn��t come! You continue investigating. Once you discover his trace, don��t act rashly and alert the enemy. Tell me immediately.��


    ��Yes, Young Master.�� Wang Hu received the order and left.


    In order to capture Ye Yuan, Yu Jinsong laid down an inescapable net today.


    Today, the city guards present were all elites among elites. Not only were their strengths formidable, but the power of their combined attacks were also extremely powerful.


    Apart from this, he even brought a bunch of late-stage Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, dispersed in all directions of the plaza.


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, this dense large web would directly pounce on Ye Yuan and kill him.


    As for the three True God Realm powerhouses, they were also hidden in various areas of the plaza at this time.


    Among these three True Gods, there were two First Firmament True God and one Second Firmament True God. It could be seen how highly he regarded Ye Yuan.


    He had absolute confidence that as long as Ye Yuan dared to show face, he absolutely could not escape.


    Suddenly, three figures barged into the execution ground.


    When Yu Jinsong saw the arrivals, he could not help revealing a look of amusement. Getting up, he bowed and said, ��Little Nephew Jinsong pays respect to Academy Head Fei!��


    The person in front had a very powerful aura, he was actually a True God Realm powerhouse.


    Bystanders did not know him, but Yu Jinsong naturally recognized him. He was called Fei Mingtian, one of Kongming Academy��s assistant academy heads.


    Following behind Fei Mingtian were Flowing Wind Establishment��s establishment head Li Zian, and assistant establishment head, Song Yancai.


    Fei Mingtian nodded his head and said, ��Not seeing for several years, Honorable Nephew Yu��s realm improved considerably again!��


    Yu Jinsong smiled and said, ��Academy Head Fei is too kind! Little Nephew is currently carrying out the City Lord Manor��s law, I wonder what Academy Head Fei came for?��


    Fei Mingtian��s face fell. Yu Jinsong��s words concealed a needle in wool, blocking him dead with one sentence.


    Since Yu Jinsong dared to frame Jiang Jadehall, he naturally would not give people a handle and had long created sufficient ironclad proof.


    Otherwise, the Kongming Academy would not go so far as to not make any noise at all.


    Fei Mingtian said coolly, ��Honorable Nephew Yu, Jiang Jadehall is at any rate from the Kongming Academy. Can you give our academy face and spare his life?��


    Yu Jinsong laughed when he heard that and said, ��Academy Head Fei��s words aren��t right! Although Jiang Jadehall originated from the Kongming Academy, he works in the City Lord Manor now. For so many years, the City Lord Manor also spent large amounts of cultivation resources on him, but he didn��t think to repay it, and actually assassinated me! This kind of person, if he isn��t sentenced to death according to the law, what will my City Lord Manor use to manage the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital?��


    Fei Mingtian��s brows furrowed slightly, Yu Jinsong��s words were flawless, he could not find any words to refute at all.


    Although Flowing Wind Establishment was the place where Kongming Academy managed imperial cities, it was too inferior to show in public.


    On the surface, all of the imperial cities were under the City Lord Manor��s name.


    ��In that case, there��s no leeway to maneuver? If I were to forcefully bring him away?��


    The imposing momentum on Fei Mingtian��s body gradually grew. Horrifying world power crushed over toward Yu Jinsong. Clearly, he was already angered.


    But Yu Jinsong was completely fine as he said with a faint smile, ��Academy Head Fei��s emotion, this lowly nephew naturally understands. It��s just that the law is the law, nobody can violate it, right? If Academy Head Fei were to really take action, I��m afraid that Lord Father will be making a move. Academy Head Fei wouldn��t think that Lord Father knows absolutely nothing about today��s matter, right?��


    Fei Mingtian��s expression changed. Yu Jinsong��s father was naturally City Lord Yu Wenfeng, his strength unfathomable.


    This punk actually used the city lord to threaten him!


    Kongming Academy originally thought that by sending a True God powerhouse to act in capacity, Yu Jinsong should give face.


    Who knew that Yu Jinsong��s attitude was actually so decisive.


    Yu Jinsong looked at Fei Mingtian and said with a light smile, ��Academy Head Fei, not that this lowly nephew isn��t giving face, but that the law beats everything! Kongming Academy is also a part of Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, producing such a treacherous traitor, shouldn��t Academy Head Fei observe the execution then?��

 Chapter 1905 - Doing Something Difficult Effortlessly

    Fei Mingtian was angered until he trembled all over, but he was powerless to do anything.


    His identity was extraordinary. Once he really made a move, that was thoroughly falling out with the City Lord Manor.


    Fei Mingtian gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeves, and left.


    But he did not leave. He simply retreated to one side to observe the execution from the sidelines.


    ��Academy Head Fei, what should we do now?�� Li Zian asked.


    Fei Mingtian let out a sigh and said, ��This matter isn��t easy to handle! Our Kongming Academy is in a disadvantageous situation to begin with. The City Lord Manor is probably �� hoping exactly for us to lose all decorum with them right now!��


    Li Zian said, ��Then �� what about Ye Yuan? If we don��t save Jiang Jadehall, he probably won��t be willing to drop the matter.��


    Fei Mingtian shook his head and said, ��I hope that he isn��t rash!��


    Time slowly trickled by, there were no signs of Ye Yuan showing up.


    Yu Jinsong got somewhat tired of waiting and said coolly, ��Carry out execution!��


    His subordinate said in a clear voice, ��The hour is up, execute!��


    The executioner received the order, carried a knife, and came before Jiang Jadehall.


    All executioners used special magic weapons to carry out a death sentence.


    To Divine Dao powerhouses, even if their heads were chopped off, they would not die either.


    Unless one��s comprehension in the power of laws was very deep, wrecking all of their life-force, that was how they could be killed.


    The executioner��s strength was not too strong, he naturally did not have this ability.


    Yu Jinsong suddenly stood up and said in a clear voice, ��Ye Yuan, I know that you��re here. Aren��t you very impressive? So why don��t you dare come out anymore? Or is it that you took a fancy to Jiang Haitang and only saved her and not her father? Gutless coward, come out if you have the capability! Still not coming out, Jiang Jadehall will be dead!��


    Jiang Jadehall��s face changed, and he roared angrily, ��Ye Yuan, you mustn��t come out! Thank you for saving Haitang, I already have no ties left! They laid down an all-encompassing net, just waiting for you to show up. You mustn��t come out!��


    A hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of Yu Jinsong��s mouth. Jiang Jadehall��s words would only stimulate Ye Yuan to appear.


    ��I��m here!�� Right at this time, a voice suddenly sounded out.


    Except, this voice was too near as if it was beside his ear.


    Suddenly, Yu Jinsong felt his scalp tingle. A feeling of incredible danger welled up in his heart and he instinctively wanted to escape.


    However, it was already too late!


    A figure suddenly appeared beside him, blue fine-lines suddenly wrapped over toward him!


    Scheming against the unguarded, how could Ye Yuan give him the chance to escape?


    Yu Jinsong fell into the Divine Vestige Space without the slightest surprise!


    Very soon, the Divine Vestige Space dissipated. A sword was pressed on Yu Jinsong��s neck.


    In this short while, Ye Yuan already sealed Yu Jinsong��s divine sea.


    Everyone looked over but discovered that Ye Yuan was actually wearing the outfit of an ordinary city guard on him.


    Turns out that he actually hid inside the city guard army.


    Furthermore, his target was not Jiang Jadehall at all but Yu Jinsong!


    This scene happened too quickly, swift until everyone did not react to it and Yu Jinsong already became a captive.


    Yu Jinsong was a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse. No one would have expected that he actually did not even have the strength to resist and was restrained by Ye Yuan.


    The city guards were very near Yu Jinsong. This bit of distance was merely the distance of a blink of an eye to Ye Yuan.


    And with Yu Jinsong��s strength, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to succeed with one strike too.


    Hence, he had long planned it out, using the Divine Vestige Space to restrain the other party.


    This series of means was done in one go, not giving those three great True God powerhouses any time to react at all.


    Fei Mingtian looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished look, full of disbelief.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan would actually think of using such a method to save Jiang Jadehall.


    ��This boy is bold and meticulous in thinking, his talent surpassing others, truly terrifying!�� Fei Mingtian said in shock.


    Bang!


    Three terrifying auras rose to the sky. The three great True God powerhouses who were lurking nearby finally showed their faces.


    The three people surrounded Ye Yuan tightly but did not dare to step forward.


    There was an uproar all around. Only then did they know that in order to deal with Ye Yuan, the City Lord Manor actually sent out three True God powerhouses.


    Furthermore, one of them was even a Second Firmament True God!


    It was just that these three great True God powerhouses did not even have a chance to make a move and Yu Jinsong was already kidnapped from under their eyelids.


    This means was simply inconceivable.


    Yu Jinsong laid down an all-encompassing net, wanting to capture Ye Yuan. In the end, he failed to capture him and got himself ensnared instead.


    The three great True God powerhouses actually became ornaments.


    That Second Firmament True God powerhouse said, ��Brat, hurry up and let go of Jinsong. I��ll spare you from death!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him with eyes like looking at an idiot and immediately gave Yu Jinsong a slap.


    Smack!


    A crisp sound could be heard clearly in the entire plaza.


    Quite a number of people all touched their own faces unwittingly as if this slap was slapped on their faces.


    ��This slap is dealt for Haitang!�� Ye Yuan said coolly, not having the slightest hint of emotion.


    A slap landing, half of Yu Jinsong��s face already swelled up badly.


    ��You �� You dare to hit me?�� Yu Jinsong��s words were unclear, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan was full of disbelief.


    Smack!


    What answered him was a second slap.


    ��This slap is for Brother Jiang! These two slaps are tentatively the interest. Your dog-life, I��ll take it. Now, let him go!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    People looked at Ye Yuan with worshiping faces.


    Too domineering!


    If not for seeing it with their own eyes, they totally would not dare to believe that someone could toy with the entire City Lord Manor in the palm of their hand.


    This composure, this strength, this easy accomplishment of a difficult matter as if it was easy, was absolutely not what ordinary people could achieve.


    Two slaps thrashed Yu Jinsong until he became a pig head.


    Jiang Jadehall looked at Ye Yuan blankly, as if he did not recognize him.


    Not seeing for several hundred years, Ye Yuan��s strength was actually horrifying to such a degree already.


    After hearing Yu Jinsong��s words, Jiang Jadehall was worried that he implicated Ye Yuan.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan actually played something like this, capturing Yu Jinsong to be a hostage.


    ��Ye Yuan, you can��t escape!�� Yu Jinsong said unclearly.


    ��With you around, why would I not be able to escape?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��L-Letting go of Jiang Jadehall, what if you kill me? I can let go of him, but you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that you absolutely can��t kill me!�� Yu Jinsong said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Can!��


    Ye Yuan did not plan on killing Yu Jinsong in the first place. He also knew that he could not kill him.


    Capturing him was just in order to save Jiang Jadehall.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan swore the Heavenly Dao Oath. This made Yu Jinsong��s heart ease up.


    ��L-Let him go!�� Yu Jinsong issued the order.


    Jiang Jadehall��s handcuffs and anklets were released. The him who regained freedom anew felt like he was dreaming.


    ��Get lost!�� Ye Yuan said to the three great True God powerhouses.


    The three great powerhouses were wary in taking action for fear of implications and could only open up a path.


    Ye Yuan pushed Yu Jinsong and arrived on the execution grounds, and said to Jiang Jadehall, ��Brother Jiang, Ye Yuan came late and let you suffered! I��ve let you and Haitang down.��


    Jiang Jadehall shook his head and said, ��What��s what I owe you! For you to be able to do things to this extent for Elder Brother, I didn��t become brothers with you in vain!��

 Chapter 1906 - Conditions

    Outside the city, there was a densely packed army. Three great True God powerhouses were at the front.


    Ahead, Ye Yuan��s sword detained Yu Jinsong, bringing Jiang Jadehall falling back.


    ��Brat, we��ve already let him go and you��re still not letting him go, aren��t you afraid of Heavenly Dao��s backlash?�� That Second Firmament True God said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You all followed all the way, isn��t it to wait to kill me after I let him go?��


    ��Humph! Do you think that you can escape? The monk can run, but the temple can��t run! Unless you disregard the life and death of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!�� Yu Jinsong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan already swore a Heavenly Dao Oath, so he was not afraid that Ye Yuan would not let him go. Hence, he also became brazen and unbridled.


    Ye Yuan��s bottom-line, the City Lord Manor had long investigated it inside out. Yu Jinsong knew that using this to threaten Ye Yuan was definitely useful.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan replied coolly, ��You can send people to destroy Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, I��m powerless to stop it too. But, starting from today, you��ll have to keep your nerves constantly tensed. Otherwise, maybe someday, you��ll become a deceased soul under my sword.��


    Yu Jinsong��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��You��re threatening me? Do you know how many True God powerhouses my City Lord Manor has?��


    Ye Yuan was still calm as he said, ��I��m just expounding a fact. There were many True God powerhouses present today too, but they failed to protect you.��


    The moment these words came out, not just Yu Jinsong, those few True God powerhouses also had awkward faces.


    Yu Jinsong��s expression flickered incessantly. He was really scared.


    Ye Yuan came and went like a shadow. Furthermore, he was extremely adept in spatial law. It was truly impossible to guard against.


    What was more terrifying was that blue space!


    After he was taken into the Divine Vestige Space by Ye Yuan, his entire person did not have any strength to resist at all.


    The various kinds of powers of law that he grasped actually all lost effect!


    That feeling of powerlessness still made him have lingering fear in his heart until now.


    He did not wish to experience that sort of feeling again!


    At the thought of being stalked everyday by such a bizarre person, Yu Jinsong unwittingly felt chills up his spine.


    Yu Jinsong gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��You! Consider yourself ruthless!��


    Bureaucratic play and trickery, resorting to schemes and intrigues, it had always been his, Yu Jinsong��s, forte. He had never failed before.


    Did not expect that today, all of his methods were cracked by this mysterious Ye Yuan. This made him extremely vexed in his heart.


    Suddenly, the tip of Ye Yuan��s eyebrows moved, and he said coolly, ��Since you came, why do you not dare to show up openly?��


    No one answered him. Those city guards looked around, but could not see any figure and even thought that Ye Yuan ate the wrong medicine.


    Even those few True God powerhouses were also at a loss.


    Ye Yuan pinned Yu Jinsong, his figure moving slightly, appearing somewhere else.


    ��Still not appearing?�� Ye Yuan said again.


    Suddenly, two figures emerged.


    A black-robed middle-aged man and a gray-robed old man.


    ��C-City Lord Your Excellency!��


    ��Lord Academy Head!��


    City Lord Manor��s Second Firmament True God and Fei Mingtian cried out in surprise at the same time.


    Arriving here, Fei Mingtian naturally followed too.


    These two were none other than precisely the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s city lord, Yu Wenfeng, as well as Kongming Academy��s academy head, Li Kongming!


    Li Kongming looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes as he said, ��A fine young man. Looks like your attainment in spatial law is much stronger than this academy head imagined!��


    Everyone all looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock. They were very puzzled how Ye Yuan discovered these two apex figures.


    One had to know, even those True God powerhouses did not have the slightest clue about these two people��s arrival!


    Especially those few True God powerhouses, they even looked towards Ye Yuan in great shock.


    Ye Yuan was able to discover Yu Wenfeng and Li Kongming, but they could not. This showed that Ye Yuan��s attainments in spatial law were far above theirs.


    But Ye Yuan was just Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity!


    Ye Yuan ignored Li Kongming. He said to another area of the void, ��If I didn��t guess wrongly, the one hiding there is Pavilion Lord Linghua, right?��


    Everyone was alarmed again. No one could have thought that Pavilion Lord Linghua also came personally!


    Yu Wenfeng��s and Li Kongming��s faces changed slightly. They actually did not notice that there was still a person hiding in the void.


    Concealing within the void, this was an extremely high-level concealment method.


    Its degree of concealment was naturally greatly related to the martial artist��s application of spatial law.


    Cultivation reaching the True God Realm, one��s small world was already very complete. The spatial law perceived through the small world would naturally be all the more powerful too.


    It was just that the application of spatial law also differed from person to person.


    Even for people in the same realm, there was a huge difference too.


    Yu Wenfeng and Li Kongming had already discovered the other party long ago. It was just that they did not even discover Pavilion Lord Linghua. This showed that Pavilion Lord Linghua already surpassed them in this aspect.


    Of course, this was just a minor trick to powerhouses of their level.


    They concealed in the void, unable to give away any aura. Once there was any activity, the other party would detect it. Even using it to sneak attack would not do as well.


    But even so, Pavilion Lord Linghua also became all the more mysterious because of this.


    To powerhouses of this level, any hint of subtle difference could have the possibility of turning into victory.


    This concealment method was the hardest to discover.


    But the three of them, not a single one was actually able to escape Ye Yuan��s arcane sights!


    How could everyone not be shocked?


    The black-robed Pavilion Lord Linghua slowly revealed his figure. It was just that he was hidden in the black robe, unable for the others to see him clearly.


    ��Young man, you��re really great! Do you have an interest in joining my Linghua Pavilion?�� Pavilion Lord Linghua slowly said.


    Yu Wenfeng��s and Li Kongming��s expressions changed. No one could have expected that Pavilion Lord Linghua solicited the moment he opened his mouth.


    ��Ye Yuan, you mustn��t! Kongming Academy is your home!�� Li Kongming hurriedly said.


    Yu Wenfeng also spoke up, ��Ye Yuan, as long as you join the City Lord Manor, the matter today will be written off, I��ll confer you the land of a hundred cities!��


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    Land of a hundred cities, how much resources did it possess? How many martial artists did it also possess, and how powerful of a faction could be developed?


    To martial artists, this was absolutely an irresistible temptation!


    As long as Ye Yuan agreed, he would virtually be equivalent to the lord of a small imperial capital.


    Originally they thought that the three great apex powerhouses came out in order to go to war with Ye Yuan, but they did not expect that it was actually this situation.


    ��Father, I ����


    ��Shut up! It��s none of your business here!��


    Yu Jinsong was just about to speak when he was cut off by Yu Wenfeng heartlessly.


    Ye Yuan looked at Pavilion Lord Linghua and said coolly, ��Want me to join Linghua Pavilion, it��s also not impossible. But I have a condition!��


    ��What condition?��


    Everyone��s hearts leaped up, especially Yu Wenfeng and Li Kongming��s.


    ��Hand Rong Xiyue over to me!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Pavilion Lord Linghua fell silent for a moment and spoke up, ��You can change to another condition!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��I��m only stating the condition, whether to agree or not is up to you.��


    Finished talking, he turned to Yu Wenfeng and said coolly, ��I don��t want the land of a hundred cities. I only want Yu Jinsong��s life! If you agree, I��ll join the City Lord Manor!��

 Chapter 1907 - A Very Formidable Alchemist

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What did you say?!�� The moment Yu Jinsong heard this, he immediately exploded.


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered to look at him. He stared straight at Yu Wenfeng, being not the slightest bit afraid.


    But Ye Yuan��s boldness also made everyone tongue-tied.


    He did not even want the land of a hundred cities and just wanted Yu Jinsong��s life, truly broad-minded!


    Of course, there were also many people who felt that he was stupid.


    But Jiang Jadehall by the side was touched, understanding that Ye Yuan was venting this frustration for them father and daughter here.


    The land of a hundred cities, what kind of power and influence, how glorious was that? Yu Wenfeng really put forth the blood capital in order to rope in Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not even bat an eyelid and refused.


    Yu Wenfeng frowned and said, ��Otherwise than this, everything else can be discussed.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said coolly, ��It��s me stating terms now, not you!��


    Yu Wenfeng��s face changed and he said with a cold snort, ��Brat, do you really want to suffer the wrath of my City Lord Manor? Do you know what that means?��


    ��Humph! Yu Wenfeng, do you really think that you��re impressive? I, Li Kongming, am protecting Ye Yuan!�� Li Kongming said with a cold smile.


    With his shrewdness, how could he let go of this chance?


    The two conditions that Ye Yuan stated, it was impossible for those two to agree.


    Then, Ye Yuan could only choose the Kongming Academy.


    Ye Yuan gave Li Kongming a glance and said coolly, ��You don��t need to waste your efforts either, I won��t go to the Kongming Academy.��


    Li Kongming��s expression changed, and he asked, ��W-Why? Do you know what consequences there will be without my Kongming Academy��s protection?��


    ��Hahaha! Li Kongming, messing around for half a day, you were merely under the hallucination that the other party was willing! He doesn��t buy it at all!�� Yu Wenfeng laughed loudly when he heard that.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You guys don��t think too highly of yourselves either. I, Ye Yuan, don��t need anyone��s protection. I came to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital only for the sake of saving Brother Jiang. Now that the matter has already been accomplished, I can��t be bothered to get involved in the affairs between you guys.��


    The surrounding was silent, they were all stunned by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Arrogant!


    Too arrogant!


    Facing a bunch of True God powerhouses, Ye Yuan actually dared to say this kind of words, this was simply courting death!


    Did this boy have a problem with his head, or did he really have some reliances?


    In the land of imperial capital, True God powerhouses were sovereign-like existences. Ye Yuan actually made them not think of themselves as a big deal!


    This kind of word was simply high treason.


    And he himself was merely a puny little Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    The three great powerhouses were all taken aback when they heard it. Immediately, Yu Wenfeng laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, do you know who you��re talking to?��


    Ye Yuan replied coolly, ��I naturally know!��


    Yu Wenfeng laughed from extreme rage and said, ��Alright then, this seat wants to see what confidence you have to say this kind of words!��


    No one could have expected that Ye Yuan actually slowly nodded his head and said, ��You can give it a try.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pushed Yu Jinsong, directly throwing him out.


    Everyone was stunned, was Ye Yuan returning the hostage to the opponent?


    How were they going to fight?


    A City Lord Manor��s True God powerhouse hurriedly made a move and caught Yu Jinsong.


    Finally escaping Ye Yuan��s control, Yu Jinsong pointed at Ye Yuan and roared angrily, ��Father, kill him! Kill him!��


    Bang!


    Yu Wenfeng directly smacked a palm out. Horrifying energy undulation crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    ��Brother Jiang, follow me!��


    Ye Yuan grabbed the collar of the Jiang Jadehall whose complexion turned white, his figure moving, vanishing from where he stood.


    Yu Wenfeng��s horrifying palm immediately struck thin air.


    The group of powerhouses suddenly cried out in surprise, ��Spatial shift!��


    They all knew that Ye Yuan��s spatial law was rather powerful, but they did not know that it already reached such a degree.


    ��No wonder! No wonder he could slaughter his way through inside the Carefree Grove! Turns out that his spatial law is already comprehended to the fourth firmament!��


    ��Not only that! He already fused Sword Dao law and spatial law, this talent is too terrifying!��


    ��Turns out that this is his confidence, turns out that he��s already established in an undefeatable position!��


    ��


    Amidst the wave of exclamations, Ye Yuan��s figure emerged once more.


    The place where he stood was just nice between the three great powerhouses.


    That bout of tune-up previously, actually, Ye Yuan had long calculated it.


    Once these three people unleashed attacks, he would be able to shift away at once, avoiding the three people��s attacks.


    Otherwise, how could he put himself in a perilous situation?


    Therefore, when Yu Wenfeng unleashed his attack, Ye Yuan evaded it at the first moment.


    Facing off with the three great powerhouses from far away, Ye Yuan stood proudly, giving people a feeling of extreme trance.


    Ye Yuan was clearly just an unassuming Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity, but in terms of aura, he actually did not lose to the three great Third Firmament powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Wenfeng and said coolly, ��Now, you saw my confidence?��


    Yu Wenfeng gave a cold snort and said, ��So what? Is it possible that you think this seat can��t do anything to you because you know spatial shift?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I know that the speed of a True God powerhouse is exceedingly fast, comparable to spatial shift. But, if I didn��t have confidence in my own speed, do you think that I��d stand here to talk and chat with you? If you don��t believe me, you can give it another try.��


    That bout just now, Yu Wenfeng did not go all out. Ye Yuan did not use his full strength either.


    At present, Ye Yuan��s cultivation grew deeper with each passing day. His comprehension of spatial shift also gradually deepened. The ability of spatial shift was no longer what it had been a long time ago.


    Even when facing True God powerhouses, he had the capital to escape too.


    As long as he avoided the world power of True God powerhouses, however vast the world was, he could roam as he pleased!


    Of course, if the space to display it was insufficient, once he fell into the world domain of a True God powerhouse, then he would be in danger.


    Hence, he captured Yu Jinsong as a hostage and retreated to outside the city. It was in order to avoid the world domains of these True God powerhouses.


    Everything was long within his calculations.


    If he did not plan out a route of retreat for himself, how could he dare barge into Nine Pledge Imperial Capital by himself and rescue Jiang Jadehall alone?


    Yu Wenfeng��s expression was livid. It was already disgraceful enough that he, an exalted middle-stage True God, took action, and actually could not take down a puny little Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Now, he would not attempt again rashly.


    And now, he also understood Ye Yuan��s intentions.


    The place where ye yuan stood was just nice outside of the place that his world power was able to reach, making him extremely upset.


    The Pavilion Lord Linghua who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, ��What a terrific lad, interesting! Interesting! It��s just that you can escape, but can Heavenly Eagle Imperial City escape?��


    Ye Yuan was not surprised, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s subsidiary. It was too easy for them to want to investigate his relationship with Heavenly Eagle.


    He looked at Pavilion Lord Linghua and said coolly, ��Indeed, I��m currently powerless to stop you all from destroying Heavenly Eagle. But you all similarly can��t catch me either. You guys remember this for me; as long as you all dare to touch Heavenly Eagle, I��ll completely destroy your three major factions in less than 500 years!��


    These words, Ye Yuan said them casually. But the killing intent in that voice was clear to anyone.


    ��Heh, you, brat, are really confident! 500 years and you want to eradicate us?�� Yu Wenfeng said with a cold smile.


    Clearly, he did not believe it.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��If I��m willing maybe it won��t need 500 years. Don��t you all forget, I��m also an alchemist! A very formidable alchemist!��

 Chapter 1908 - When One Man Attains Dao, His Fowls and Dogs Ascend to Heaven Too

    ��A very formidable alchemist? Heh, how formidable can you be? Could it be that you can even refine rank six divine pills?�� Yu Wenfeng said with a cold smile.


    Five-star Alchemy Gods were everywhere in the imperial capital. There were also quite a few formidable ones.


    He did not believe how formidable Ye Yuan, a Five-star Alchemy God, could be.


    The incident of Lin Changqing causing a great disturbance at Heavenly Eagly happened recently. Ye Yuan came too quickly, the news had not spread to the imperial capital.


    Of course, this was also because Wu Tian this inspector was finished off, the transmission of information also slowed down a lot.


    If they knew that Ye Yuan directly threw away a Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, they would definitely cuss Ye Yuan out for being a prodigal son.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan casually threw out three small bottles, flying straight for the three great powerhouses.


    The three people caught the small bottles and took a look, pupils constricting.


    Following that, they used incomparably shocked gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    Although it was not Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill this kind of heaven-defying medicinal pill, the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out were also sufficient to awe them.


    After all, what Ye Yuan took out were vast spirit divine pills!


    ��Brother Jiang, let��s go!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    Everyone used baffled gazes to look at those three.


    They did not know what kind of medicinal pills could actually make the three great powerhouses have such a loss in composure.


    ��Father, they are gone!�� Yu Jinsong roared angrily.


    Smack!


    A clear slap echoed out, Yu Jinsong was directly slapped flying.


    ��Tie this unfilial son up for me and bring back!��


    Done talking, his figure moved, disappearing.


    Li Kongming and Pavilion Lord Linghua similarly disappeared.


    Everyone had dumbfounded looks, completely not knowing what happened.


    Three medicinal pills actually made the three great powerhouses�� attitude have such an upheaval transformation.


    Everyone knew that Yu Jinsong was Yu Wenfeng��s most precious son. Now, he actually wanted to tie Yu Jinsong up.


    This Ye Yuan was truly terrifying.


    ��


    This raiding incident of the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s execution ground came to a conclusion just like that.


    But Ye Yuan became Nine Pledge��s legend.


    A Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity caused a big disturbance in an imperial capital and made a full retreat.


    More importantly, the three major factions actually did not have anyone denounce Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Before long, another news spread to the three major forces.


    Not long ago, an Empyrean powerhouse had once slaughtered his way to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and in the end, returned in defeat.


    There was even a little interlude in-between; Ye Yuan took out a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill!


    These two news were akin to a bolt out of the blue, shocking the three major factions.


    Very soon, a piece of news that made people even more shocked came out of City Lord Manor.


    Ye Yuan was appointed as the new Southridge Ten Cities�� patrolling inspector!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan this patrolling inspector did not need to offer tributes to the imperial capital and did not need to report his work to the imperial capital!


    Listening neither to orders nor serving!


    The moment this order came out, the entire Nine Pledge Imperial Capital was shaken.


    This was equivalent to Ye Yuan becoming Southridge Ten Cities�� absolute sovereign, acquiring territory and becoming king.


    In reality, the Southridge Ten Cities consisted of just ten very poor imperial cities, merely a single hair from nine oxen for the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital.


    But this matter had never happened before in the history of Nine Pledge Imperial Capital.


    The moment the news came out, the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City rejoiced.


    Ye Yuan was originally Heavenly Eagle��s god-like figure. At present, Head Elder becoming the patrolling inspector, their days in the future would get much better.


    One had to know, the imperial city��s yearly tributes was a very horrifying sum.


    To a barren place like Heavenly Eagle, this was a tremendous burden.


    It was also because of this that Heavenly Eagle��s overall strength had not been able to improve all along.


    After Ye Yuan took on the post of patrolling inspector, it greatly reduced the tax burden. This was something that made all martial artists indebted. Southridge��s martial artists�� love and support for Ye Yuan reached the peak for some time.


    However, there was also an awkward matter.


    Following the arrival of Leng Qiuling and the others, the positions of Zuo Shujie and the few of them Celestial Deity powerhouses became awkward.


    White Light obtained the White Tiger true blood, his strength advancing at a tremendous pace, already broken through to middle-stage rank five.


    Ning Tianping��s strength also already broke through to the Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm.


    Leng Qiuling went even more without saying, she refined some more Vermilion Bird true blood and already broke through to late-stage Celestial Deity Realm presently, reaching the Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity Realm.


    In contrast, the position of Zuo Shujie, this city lord, appeared awkward.


    However, Ye Yuan brought out a large batch of spirit medicines when he came out of the Void spirit. The low-grade spirit medicines that he gave Zuo Shujie they all to consume were naturally not few.


    Under Ye Yuan��s assistance, Zuo Shujie and the rest broke through realms one after another.


    On this day, Zuo Shujie broke through to the Third Firmament Celestial Deity Realm and immediately came to find Ye Yuan.


    ��Zuo Shujie thanks Your Excellency! If not for Your Excellency, Shujie probably won��t be able to break through to be a Third Firmament Celestial Deity in this lifetime!�� Zuo Shujie prostrated on the ground as he said.


    One��s personal affairs, one would be aware. Zuo Shujie knew that his potential had long been exhausted. It was totally impossible to break through to be a Third Firmament Celestial Deity.


    But a medicinal pill from Ye Yuan let him gain a new lease on life. Not only did he break through to Third Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, it even stimulated his potential once again.


    He sensed that he could still continue comprehending Heavenly Dao now and even break through to the Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm!


    This was what he did not dare to think at all prior to this.


    And this was also precisely the powerful aspect of void spirit, vast spirit divine pills.


    One had to know, a mere rank five divine pill moved even Lin Changqing, this Empyrean powerhouse who came from a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda!


    Zuo Shujie was clear in his heart that this kind of medicinal pill used on him was simply a wanton waste of God��s good gifts.


    Letting those geniuses take it was making the best use of things.


    But Ye Yuan gave it to him without the slightest hesitation!


    Hence, toward Ye Yuan, Zuo Shujie was still grateful apart from gratefulness.


    ��What��s Brother Zuo saying? Back then, without your care, there also won��t be today��s Ye Yuan. This trivial matter isn��t worth mentioning. In the future, you will realise this is simply a small matter. Your realm also absolutely won��t stop at Third Firmament Celestial Deity!�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    When Zuo Shujie heard that, he was agitated until he trembled all over.


    Yeah, what did this count for to Ye Yuan?


    As the saying went: when one man attained Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too. It was talking about this, right?


    ��Thank you, Your Excellency! Your Excellency, this Zuo came today, apart from thanking Your Excellency, I also want to resign from the position of city lord!�� Zuo Shujie said.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was no different from a local tyrant. The appointment of city lord, he naturally had the final say.


    Ye Yuan knew what Zuo Shujie was thinking in his heart and said with a wave of his hand, ��Brother Zuo, you don��t need to be like this. You still are the city lord! This position of city lord is also not whoever��s realm is higher can be. The tricks involved, they can��t figure it out in a short while either. This city lord, it��s most suitable for you to be. Brother Zuo, I, this patrolling inspector, was also forced into doing what��s beyond me, there are many things that are too complicated and difficult to unravel. You��re also aware, my ambition doesn��t lie here. These secular affairs, hope that Brother Zuo can share my burden.��


    Ye Yuan said it very sincerely, filling Zuo Shujie with fear and trepidation.


    He naturally knew Ye Yuan��s ambition. How could a puny little Southridge Ten Cities trap him?


    It was just that, looking at it now, Ye Yuan was planning on making this place into his base. This made Zuo Shujie very happy.


    ��Since Your Excellency said so, then �� this Zuo will thicken my face and continue holding the post!��


    The two people were currently talking when Ning Tianping suddenly came in to report. He said, ��Your Excellency, there��s a powerhouse outside who says that he��s your disciple and wants to meet you.��

 Chapter 1909 - Crazy Idea

    ��Disciple?��


    Ye Yuan frowned and could not come up with anything after thinking for a long time. When did he take in a disciple?


    But, thinking about it, it also seemed like no one dared to come and impersonate as his disciple currently, right?


    ��Let him come in,�� Ye Yuan instructed.


    Not long after, Ning Tianping led a young man in, his handsome face like carved jade, elegant and natural.


    ��Master!�� When the young man saw Ye Yuan, he had a look of wild elation on his face, pressing his head onto the ground.


    Seeing the other party, Ye Yuan also finally recalled who this disciple was and was immediately overjoyed.


    ��Bai Chen!��


    This young man was precisely the disciple that Ye Yuan took in back then in the Sky Foothill World. It was White Night Sacred Palace��s palace lord, Bai Chen.


    Parting for close to a thousand years, Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually came to find him, and immediately felt very warm.


    The Ning Tianping and Zuo Shujie by the side both had strange expressions when they saw this scene.


    This peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse actually called master when he saw Ye Yuan. It seemed somewhat strange no matter what.


    They naturally did not feel that Ye Yuan did not have the qualification. It was just that the disciple��s realm was even higher than the master��s, this was indeed rather unusual.


    Furthermore, this Bai Chen was also too young, to actually already have peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation. It made them feel very odd.


    ��Tsk tsk, Your Excellency is Your Excellency, even taking in a disciple is so incredible!�� Ning Tianping said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    ��You followed His Excellency for so long, have you seen His Excellency accept disciples before?�� Zuo Shujie asked.


    Ning Tianping shook his head and said, ��Never seen before.��


    Zuo Shujie��s pupils shrunk and he said in surprise, ��Then doesn��t that mean that His Excellency already accepted this disciple before coming to Heavenly Eagle? This disciple �� is also too heaven-defying, right?��


    Bai Chen��s age was even younger than Ye Yuan, how could he have such horrifying cultivation speed?


    ��Haha, quickly get up! I didn��t expect that what you refined was actually a peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, your present realm is actually above mine!�� Ye Yuan had a rare bout of hearty laughter.


    It could be said that he watched Bai Chen grow up.


    To be able to have such accomplishments presently, he was naturally happy.


    Peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity, although it did not count as some impressive big shot, it was also considered a powerhouse of a region already.


    When Ning Tianping and Zuo Shujie heard this, only then did they come to a realization. Turned out that Bai Chen actually refined a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit to cultivate so quickly.


    Bai Chen blushed with shame and said, ��Master, don��t make fun of me anymore. Master��s cultivation speed is simply terrifying. In less than a short thousand years, you cultivated from Grotto Profound Realm to your present realm; it��s seldom-seen universally! Furthermore, Master still has infinite potential, but I no longer have the possibility of breaking through!��


    Talking up to here, a hint of dejection flashed across in Bai Chen��s gaze.


    To the him back then, Celestial Deity Realm was an existence too lofty to reach, a realm impossible to reach throughout his entire life.


    But now, he was the master of Sky Foothill, a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse. His horizons were already different from normal.


    In this Heavenspan World, there was still an entirely different world!


    Back then, Ye Yuan also warned him before. But at that time, on the one hand, he was forced by the circumstances. On the other hand, he acknowledged that he could not reach his present realm.


    But now, when he really fully refined the Dao Fruit, he somewhat felt a sense of loss.


    The road was chosen by him, he did not regret it. But the sense of loss in his heart could not be avoided.


    Especially after seeing Ye Yuan, this kind of feeling became increasingly stronger.


    Seeing Bai Chen��s appearance, Ye Yuan also sighed.


    Bai Chen��s talent was pretty good in the Sky Foothill World. But with his talent, it was very hard to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Refining the Dao Fruit was indeed a very decent choice for him.


    But human desire was ever expanding. Who could be willing to never make progress for all their lives?


    Moreover, Bai Chen was still so young.


    Thinking up to here, a crazy idea suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan��s mind.


    Did people who refined Dao Fruits really had no hopes of advancing ranks anymore?


    Perhaps, perhaps he could invent a medicinal pill that could let people who refined Dao Fruits advance ranks?


    As soon as this idea was born, it could not be stopped no matter what.


    ��Bai Chen, heaven doesn��t seal off all paths! Maybe there��s still a way. Coming to find me this time, what plans do you have?�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Bai Chen thought that Ye Yuan was consoling him and just forced a smile.


    After Bai Chen refined the Dao Fruit, he discovered that he was unable to comprehend Heavenly Dao anymore. His cultivation also would not have any growth.


    No matter how hard he worked, it could not change this result either.


    Only then did he know that his master did not bluff him.


    There was really no hope at all!


    He was different from those people on their deathbeds snatching for Dao Fruits. He was too young.


    He was unwilling, so he ran out of the Sky Foothill World, wanting to come to the Heavenspan World to seek out lucky chances.


    He came to find Ye Yuan before, but at that time, Ye Yuan already left Heavenly Eagle, his whereabouts not known.


    Hence, he started drifting around in the Heavenspan World.


    But the more he came into contact with, the more he despaired.


    He knew that once refined a Dao Fruit, there was no more possibility of breaking through. Unless one refined an even stronger Dao Fruit.


    But this difficulty was too great!


    The higher Dao Fruits went, the rarer they got. The chances of appearing were too low.


    Furthermore, each time they appeared, there were countless powerhouses who went to snatch it.


    Hence, Bai Chen became more and more in despair.


    ��Master, I wish to stay by your side. If you have anything that you need this disciple to do, this disciple will carry out my obligations!�� Bai Chen said.


    Bai Chen was very grateful toward Ye Yuan. Without Ye Yuan, he would have long died, let alone become Sky Foothill World��s sovereign.


    Now, his cultivation realm could still do a little something for Ye Yuan. Another few more years, he probably would not even have the opportunity to do miscellaneous chores for Ye Yuan anymore.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Tianping, go and call them together, I��ll introduce to them this disciple of mine.��


    Ye Yuan introduced Heavenly Eagle��s Celestial Deity Realms, everyone also became acquainted with this disciple of Ye Yuan��s.


    It was just that in their hearts, everyone still looked down on him, this Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity. It was just that no one expressed it.


    Among these people included Ning Tianping, White Light, as well as Leng Qiuling and the rest.


    Martial artists who refined Dao Fruits, everyone would have some discrimination in their hearts.


    Firstly, this was something earned without any labor toiled. Secondly, this kind of person��s potential was already exhausted and it was impossible to break through anymore.


    If Bai Chen went to an ordinary imperial city, everyone naturally would not have this kind of thought. But following by Ye Yuan��s side, everyone had limitless futures.


    Only Bai Chen would never be able to improve.


    Hence, even though Bai Chen was presently the highest cultivation realm in Southridge Ten Cities, the number two powerhouse in martial prowess, everyone actually more or less had scorn in their hearts.


    This kind of subtle atmosphere, Bai Chen could also feel it himself.


    But, for Ye Yuan��s sake, he endured it.


    Ye Yuan could naturally see it clearly too, but he did not say anything.


    This matter, he did not dare to say for certain either. Hence, he did not say it to anyone.


    Furthermore, right at this time, Nine Pledge Imperial Capital that side also sent people.


    On this day, Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s City Lord Manor sent several martial artists, detaining a prisoner, arriving at Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    The one in the front was a young man.


    This young man was a little older than Yu Jinsong, but he had some similarities with him between his eyebrows.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, that young man bowed in salute and said, ��I��m Yu Changyun. I come here specially to pay respects to Lord Patrolling Inspector on Father��s command.��

 Chapter 1910 - Awe

    Among the arrivals, there was not one True God Realm powerhouse.


    In Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, apart from that mysterious pink pig, similarly did not have a True God Realm.


    The City Lord Manor doing so already expressed sufficient respect toward Southridge.


    Of course, everyone was well aware that actually, that was respect toward Lord Patrolling Inspector Ye Yuan.


    ��Tsk tsk, those are all the imperial capital��s lords! If not for Lord Ye Yuan, how could they possibly come to our backcountry?��


    ��I heard that that person talking with lord Ye Yuan is Nine Pledge Imperial Capital City Lord��s son, half-step True God Realm. Even he has to be so polite to our Lord Ye Yuan!��


    ��Heh, Lord Ye Yuan is really too incredible, even True God powerhouses have to conduct themselves based on his expression!��


    ��


    In the city, bustling streams of people watched Ye Yuan meet with the City Lord Manor��s powerhouses with idolizing expressions on their faces.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance at Yu Jinsong who was already all bundled up. He then said coolly, ��Looks like City Lord His Excellency is very sincere!��


    Ye Yuan understood that this tying up was done for him to see. Yu Jinsong did not have any strength to resist at all.


    The restriction that he planted on Yu Jinsong, the City Lord Manor was still unable to dispel it until now!


    Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence was extremely special in the first place. It even mixed in blue divine marks inside. Even if a True God powerhouse wanted to release it, it was absolutely not an easy matter too.


    Yu Jinsong��s face no longer had the former pride. It was full of dispiritedness and terror.


    Yu Changyun clasped his hands and said, ��My younger brother was malicious, resulting in committing a grave mistake. Father ordered me to tie him up and await Lord Patrolling Inspector��s sentencing.��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��Go to the City Lord Manor before talking.��


    Ye Yuan led the party into the City Lord Manor and sat down as host and guest.


    Yu Changyun signaled his subordinate with his eyes. The subordinate got the meaning and brought Yu Jinsong to the hall, letting him kneel down in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Father said that this boy is too malicious, resulting in offending Lord Patrolling Inspector. Now, we tie him up here; want to kill or dismember is up to you.��


    Yu Changyun got up to clasp his hands in salute, his attitude very humble and polite, as if the one kneeling below was not his younger brother.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��With my temperament, even killing him several times isn��t enough. But this incident, I��m not the party involved. Killing him or not, I still need to ask Brother Jiang father and daughter to make a final decision.��


    Jiang Jadehall��s entire body trembled, tears pouring out.


    Starting from when he was framed and thrown into jail, until escaping with his life now, Jiang Jadehall had never thought that he could personally take revenge.


    To him, Yu Jinsong was a figure far removed from the masses.


    Wanting to take revenge was far too difficult.


    But now, Ye Yuan put the chance in front of his eyes.


    He walked toward Yu Jinsong tremblingly, his footsteps carrying a hint of solemness.


    He hated Yu Jinsong to the bones, not because of himself, but because of his daughter.


    This animal actually sullied Jiang Haitang��s innocence, so how could he get over it?


    ��Jiang Jadehall, you dare?!�� Yu Jinsong sensed the threat of death and roared angrily at Jiang Jadehall.


    Jiang Jadehall��s expression changed and he actually came to a standstill.


    Before this, he, Jiang Jadehall, had always been an insignificant character.


    Even if Yu Jinsong was being tied up, he was also an important person with a deep background.


    Jiang Jadehall did not dare about himself. He was afraid that killing Yu Jinsong would bring trouble to Ye Yuan.


    If tying Yu Jinsong up and bringing him over was just Yu Wenfeng��s act of giving face, if he really killed, it would definitely incur considerable trouble.


    After all, Yu Wenfeng was a middle-stage True God Realm powerhouse. Once all decorum was lost, the land of Southridge would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.


    ��Brother Jiang, don��t need to worry about anything. Want to kill or dismember, it is up to you. I can shoulder it!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Hearing this, Yu Jinsong��s expression could not help changing and he roared angrily, ��Ye Yuan, you dare to kill me?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��You��re merely a sacrificial piece right now, that��s all. Yet you still want to assume the majesty of the tiger? City Lord Yu has not just you, one son. If you died, then you died; so what? If he really wanted to protect you, you also wouldn��t show up here today.��


    Yu Jinsong��s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��I��m his most outstanding son, he won��t abandon me! If you dare to touch me, he��ll definitely trample Southridge to the ground!��


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard that and said, ��I think that you��re mistaken! He didn��t send you here because he didn��t like you, but because he knows that he can��t protect you anymore no matter what! You know, he can��t kill me. But before long, I��ll be able to kill him. You dying and you all dying together, he chose you dying, that��s all.��


    The talent that Ye Yuan displayed was too strong. No one would doubt whether he could step into the True God Realm.


    Taking action against Ye Yuan now, one they could not kill him, what awaited them would be his future crazed revenge.


    The reason why Ye Yuan displayed his talent in front of the three great powerhouses was for the sake of astounding them, making them not dare to act rashly without careful consideration.


    Moreover, Heavenly Eagle still had an even more mysterious pink pig.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was not afraid of anything!


    Yu Wenfeng could only abandon Yu Jinsong right now to get on friendly terms with Ye Yuan.


    If he became enemies with Ye Yuan, then when he grew up in the future, the consequences would be catastrophic.


    Ye Yuan��s analysis made Jiang Jadehall��s eyes become bright.


    He understood, the present Ye Yuan already had the capital to challenge True God powerhouses.


    Even True God powerhouses had to come and butter him up!


    Hence, he did not need to fear anything.


    Suddenly, Jiang Jadehall pointed like lightning, pointing at Yu Jinsong��s abdomen.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    Yu Jinsong gave a miserable scream, his entire person sent flying out.


    The corners of Yu Changyun��s mouth twitched slightly but recovered his calm very quickly.


    ��M-My cultivation! You �� You crippled my cultivation!�� Yu Jinsong roared furiously.


    Jiang Jadehall did not look at him. He said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, ��Ye Yuan, Haitang and I thank you! Thank you for giving me the chance to take revenge with my own hands!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Jiang doesn��t need to be like this. The road after today is still long!��


    Jiang Jadehall nodded his head solemnly and took his leave.


    He did not know how to express his feelings of gratitude. But at this moment, he already made up his mind that this life was Ye Yuan��s!


    ��Ye Yuan, kill me if you have the guts! Otherwise, you��ll definitely regret it!��Yu Jinsong roared.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves, directly sending him flying out.


    ��Noisy! Throw him out of the city for me!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Done with these, only then did Ye Yuan return to his seat and said to Yu Changyun coolly, ��City Lord Yu��s generous gift, I��ll accept it. However, this is what he owes me, it��s not considered a favor. If you want to request for medicinal pills, there still needs to be additional compensation.��


    The corners of Yu Changyun��s mouth twitched again, rather unhappy in his heart.


    If not for Yu Wenfeng repeatedly exhorting before coming, forbidding him from provoking Ye Yuan, he would have long exploded.


    Outside all talked about how Ye Yuan was so and so. He did not see it with his own eyes and naturally did not believe it.


    But his father said it very seriously, so Yu Changyun did not dare to defy.


    Because he did not wish to become a second Yu Jinsong.


    ��Haha, that��s of course!�� Yu Changyun said with a laugh.


    ��I wonder what medicinal pill Brother Yu is requesting?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Mentioning this, Yu Changyun was rather agitated as he said, ��These few days, His Excellency racked his brain and finally gathered the spirit medicines required for the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill. We hope that Lord Patrolling Inspector can refine one on our behalf. As for the compensation, it will naturally satisfy you.��

 Chapter 1911 - Rong Xiyue

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bringing along the divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, Yu Changyun left perfectly feeling content.


    Ye Yuan was able to refine vast spirit divine pills. But toward the City Lord Manor, he naturally would not go all out.


    However, purple spirit divine pills were already adequate.


    Forget about Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, even in great imperial capitals, one also could not find more than a few alchemists that could refine divine-grade level nine medicinal pills.


    Of course, the City Lord Manor also paid a dear price for this.


    Yu Changyun��s front foot had just left when the Flowing Wind Establishment��s head, Li Zian, brought a group of people to Heavenly Eagle.


    They naturally came over to request for pills too.


    Ye Yuan��s impression of Kongming Academy was not good, but he would not let go of the chance to demand an exorbitant price too.


    What the present Southridge Ten Cities lack the most was cultivation resources and spirit medicines.


    Ye Yuan could not possibly keep staying in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to protect these people. Since that was the case, then let those people around him become stronger, then there naturally would not be people who dared to bully them anymore.


    As if it had been discussed, after sending away Li Zian, Linghua Pavilion��s people also arrived.


    But, different from the other two, only one person came from Linghua Pavilion.


    This person was Rong Xiyue.


    When this delicate beauty that no one could help loving upon seeing her stood in front of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan actually had a feeling of his breath being taken away.


    ��W-What a beautiful girl!�� The eyeballs of the Ning Tianping beside Ye Yuan were almost popping out.


    Rong Xiyue smiled faintly and bowed toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Sinner Rong Xiyue pays respect to Lord Patrolling Inspector!��


    This smile gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind all the more so. Ning Tianping was at the peak of vigor and vitality and was practically about to turn soft.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��What sin is there?��


    Rong Xiyue was slightly surprised in her heart, only then did she know that she underestimated Ye Yuan.


    A woman��s looks were absolutely a major killing tool to men.


    Rong Xiyue had always been extremely confident in her own looks. Her every twinkle and smile was sufficient to make any men lose their minds.


    When Wu Tian saw Rong Xiyue, his entire person floated to the heavens, leaving him at her mercy.


    But Ye Yuan was actually only surprised for a bit and returned to normal very quickly.


    ��Rong Xiyue instigated Wu Tian to deal with Heavenly Eagle and almost caused a catastrophe.�� Rong Xiyue��s aggrieved appearance was really pitiful to look at.


    Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked in his heart, this woman��s seduction art was really too formidable.


    If not for the Soul Suppressing Pearl, even if he wanted to recover clarity, it was absolutely impossible to be this fast too.


    This kind of enchantment art was extremely brilliant. Ye Yuan could not see the slightest trace of enchantment art from Rong Xiyue��s body.


    No coquetry, no flirtation, yet she gave you a feeling of immortal qi fluttering just by standing there, akin to a fairy maiden that had transcended the mundane world.


    Otherwise, it would not be possible for Ning Tianping to succumb so easily. He had trained for a long time with Ye Yuan, so his state of mind was already exceptional a long time ago. However, it was not enough.


    Seeing Rong Xiyue, Ye Yuan understood what happened to Wu Tian very quickly.


    ��Almost caused a catastrophe? Rong Xiyue, don��t tell me that Jiang Jadehall��s matter isn��t related to you!�� Ye Yuan sneered, his expression becoming sharp.


    But Rong Xiyue kept her countenance and said in puzzlement, ��Xiyue doesn��t understand.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You don��t think that I wouldn��t ruthlessly destroy a flower because your looks are as beautiful as a fairy, right? Your seduction art is very brilliant, but it still falls short of the standard to deal with me!��


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when the Frostcounter Sword suddenly left its sheathe, the target was precisely Rong Xiyue.


    Ning Tianping had not come back to his senses yet and cried out in surprise, ��Your Excellency, what do you want to do?��


    Rong Xiyue��s expression suddenly changed and wanted to evade this sword. But she discovered that she had nowhere to run at all.


    This sword was too swift and fierce!


    Rong Xiyue��s talent was exceedingly high, but she was merely a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity. It was simply impossible to be Ye Yuan��s match.


    In the next moment, Ye Yuan��s sword already pressed on her throat.


    ��Your Excellency, don��t!�� Ning Tianping shouted.


    Clearly, he had already thoroughly succumbed.


    But right at this time, a surge of mysterious power tunneled into his mind.


    Ning Tianping��s entire body trembled, his eyes finally recovering clarity.


    ��This �� What happened to me just now?��


    Seeing this scene, Rong Xiyue��s pupils constricted. She finally knew that she ran into an expert.


    Ye Yuan��s attainment in the area of divine soul was simply terrifying.


    Sensing the cold air exuding from the tip of the sword, Rong Xiyue felt that the god of death was beckoning to her.


    ��I don��t care what your Linghua Pavilion is planning at the back, but you guys shouldn��t have provoked me. Since you provoked me, then you have to be prepared to have the awareness overthrown!��


    Rong Xiyue��s complexion was white as a sheet. No longer harboring any hopes of getting lucky in her heart, she appeared slightly nervous as she said, ��Lord Patrolling Inspector, pardon my offense. Xiyue �� Xiyue just wanted to make use of Yu Jinsong to swallow up Kongming Academy��s territory together with the City Lord Manor. But I didn��t expect that he did such an inhumane and evil thing.��


    Ye Yuan looked at her and said coldly, ��If it was you manipulating it at the back, you��d long be dead now!��


    Yu Jinsong coveted Rong Xiyue, this was definite.


    But Ye Yuan could tell that Yu Jinsong did not fall for Rong Xiyue��s seduction art, or should he say that he was not controlled by Rong Xiyue.


    The struggle of the three great factions, Jiang Jadehall being framed, even though Ye Yuan was unhappy about it, he actually understood.


    But Jiang Haitang��s matter made Ye Yuan��s incredibly enraged.


    Hence, no matter what, Yu Jinsong would not have a good outcome.


    Even if Yu Wenfeng did not send him over, Ye Yuan would definitely demand an answer in the future too.


    Rong Xiyue��s complexion was pale as she said fearfully, ��Xiyue knows her mistake, Your Excellency can punish as you will.��


    Everything that happened before her eyes were totally different from what she imagined previously.


    No matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, he was also merely a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist. She thought that she could rely on her enchantment art to escape a calamity or even ask for medicinal pills.


    She would not be foolish to the point she would cast a spell on Ye Yuan. But affecting Ye Yuan��s decision through her profound enchantment art was still doable.


    Just like when she dealt with Yu Jinsong back then.


    But now, she discovered that she was ridiculously wrong.


    Just a bit more and her life would be gone.


    Rong Xiyue already did not have any thoughts of getting lucky and could only resign herself to fate.


    Ye Yuan put away the sword, returned to his seat, and said in a cold voice, ��You��re also here to ask for pills, right?��


    Rong Xiyue��s expression changed and she said in a low voice, ��Your Excellency is wise!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Not that you can��t request for pills, but your compensation will be five times of the other two factions!��


    Rong Xiyue was startled and was just about to speak, but then she heard Ye Yuan say in a cold voice, ��Don��t talk nonsense with me! There are no conditions to discuss! Not agreeing, please go back! In the future, my Southridge also won��t do any more business with your Linghua Pavilion.��


    When Rong Xiyue heard that, she bit her lip lightly and performed a salute to Ye Yuan as she said in a light voice, ��Ye Yuan, this lowly woman can��t make the decision. Can you allow this lowly woman to consult the Pavilion Lord��s opinion?��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��Go on, behave yourself. Otherwise, you know the consequences!��


    Rong Xiyue��s enchantment was too powerful, not giving her a bit of warning, she might be able to make quite a few people lose their minds.


    After Rong Xiyue left, Ning Tianping felt lingering fear as he said, ��Your Excellency, this �� this woman is so formidable!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Her enchantment art is natural born. There��s not the slightest flaw at all. Her divine soul is also much more powerful than martial artists of the same rank, very hard to deal with!��

 Chapter 1912 - Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan instinctively felt that this Rong Xiyue was not simple.


    This kind of bizarre enchantment art, Ye Yuan seldom saw it in his lifetime too.


    If she really exerted herself to the utmost, probably Yu Jinsong this kind of powerhouse would find it hard to ward off too.


    It was just that there was still a True God Realm powerhouse behind Yu Jinsong, that was why Rong Xiyue was very observing of proper restraint.


    ��Then �� why would Your Excellency still refine pills for her?�� Ning Tianping asked puzzledly.


    He rarely saw Ye Yuan��s solemn appearance and could not help being secretly surprised.


    When Ye Yuan faced True God powerhouses, he had a calm look too.


    ��This woman isn��t simple. That Linghua Pavilion is likewise not simple. Since they sent Rong Xiyue here, it shows that they don��t wish to lose all decorum with us for the time being. Of course, we aren��t their match right now as well. Hence, everyone had best stay in our own lanes and mind our own business,�� Ye Yuan said.


    This Linghua Pavilion always gave Ye Yuan a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.


    Compared to Yu Wenfeng and the others, that Pavilion Lord Linghua was clearly much harder to speculate his strength.


    But, borrowing this chance to demand an exorbitant price, Ye Yuan was happy about it too.


    ��


    Along the way, Rong Xiyue was indeed very restrained.


    She used a secret art to completely cover up the immortal qi on her body, looking much more ordinary to bystanders.


    Ye Yuan did not send people to keep an eye on her, but it was precisely because of this that she dared to be unbridled even less.


    Returning to her residence and shutting the door and windows, rays of light suddenly emitted from Rong Xiyue��s body.


    It was only to see her mumbling away, and then those light dots finally turned into a light cover, enveloping the whole house.


    Following that, a ray of yellow light flew out from her glabella and turned into an illusory black-robed man, landed on the opposite side.


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that this black-robed man was precisely that mysterious Pavilion Lord Linghua.


    ��Paying respect to Protector Witheredwood.��


    Rong Xiyue gave a deep bow to the black-robed man.


    The black-robed man nodded slightly and said, ��This boy is really impressive!��


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Rong Xiyue��s beautiful eyes as she said, ��Even you, Protector Witherwood, aren��t his match either?��


    The black-robed man said, ��I originally wanted to secretly observe him, but don��t know why, I keep having the jitters. I have a feeling that as long as my wisp of divine sense left your glabella, it will definitely be eradicated by him!��


    Rong Xiyue��s expression changed slightly and she said, ��My Immortal Dream Art doesn��t have any effect on him at all. This is still my first time encountering it! In the past, even True God powerhouses couldn��t possibly detect it too.��


    Rong Xiyue��s Immortal Dream Art was greatly different from ordinary enchantment arts.


    It was not a spell that directly targeted other people��s divine souls, but a kind of divine soul reflex technique, affecting the other party��s senses, being extremely undetectable.


    As long as she did not take the initiative to go and make contact with the other party��s divine soul, it was simply impossible for the other party to discover it.


    Since Rong Xiyue learned it, she had never failed before.


    Did not expect that today, it was directly cracked by Ye Yuan.


    ��Originally still wanted to probe his background, but looking at it now, this kid is even more troublesome than this old man imagined!�� The voice of Witheredwood hidden in the black robes carried some gloominess.


    Rong Xiyue��s brows furrowed slightly and she said, ��He put forth a condition, refining pills for us will be five times more expensive than the other two forces! Protector Witheredwood, what �� should we do?��


    The black-robed man mused for a moment and said, ��Agree to him! This kid��s appearance thoroughly disrupted our set up. Now that he��s willing to stay out of the way, that��s for the best. As long as he doesn��t come and provoke us, we don��t provoke him either, and can even ingratiate to him. Everything is for the grand plan.��


    Rong Xiyue bowed slightly and said with a nod, ��Xiyue understands.��


    ��


    Three groups of people let Ye Yuan make a huge killing.


    Furthermore, Southridge��s great commotion already spread throughout the entire Nine Pledge Imperial Capital at this time too.


    The news of Southridge becoming an independent country astounded the four directions.


    Of course, the most important thing was still Ye Yuan��s alchemy skills!


    Those Celestial Deity powerhouses of the middle-order imperial cities and high-order imperial cities all went into action without delay.


    A Five-star Alchemy Emperor capable of refining vast spirit divine pills, in a place like the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, that was absolutely in high-demand.


    Not only did more and more Celestial Deity powerhouses came to Heavenly Eagle, more and more alchemists also gradually gathered at Heavenly Eagle.


    Actually, many of the Pill Tower��s alchemists including Xuan Yu were personally taught by Ye Yuan. After several centuries of tempering, their strength was no longer what it used to be since long ago.


    Especially the Ning Family��s Ning Siyu, her talent was pretty strong and was long already a Four-star Alchemy God who was known far and wide.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s current fame that was at the height of its prosperity, Heavenly Eagle because of the holy land of alchemists.


    After Southridge��s situation settled down, a year��s time already passed.


    In this one year, Ye Yuan��s realm also unknowingly broke through to Sixth Firmament Divine Vestige.


    Of course, under Ye Yuan��s magic-like medicinal pills assault, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City gave birth to a large batch of Celestial Deity powerhouses.


    The power of the present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already surpassed the vast majority of high-order imperial cities.


    However, following everyone��s strength becoming stronger and stronger, Bai Chen became more and more awkward here.


    He discovered that everyone around Ye Yuan, their strengths were all advancing by leaps and bounds. Only he remained forever at a standstill.


    In other imperial cities, everyone��s cultivation speed was very slow, easily calculated with tens of thousands of years.


    But in Heavenly Eagle, ten thousand years was too long; they were all seizing every minute they can!


    With extremely high-quality medicinal pills, everyone��s cultivation speed was too fast.


    Every day, Bai Chen was living in torture.


    In this one year, Bai Chen also became familiar with Ning Tianping and the people around Ye Yuan.


    Except, he kept on being unable to integrate into that circle.


    Not that because everyone was not fond of him, but because everyone knew that he would be eliminated in the end!


    At the rate of this progress, Heavenly Eagle��s Ninth Firmament Celestial Deities would be as worthless as cabbages.


    On this day, Bai Chen finally could not endure it anymore and went to find Ye Yuan.


    ��Master, I �� the time that I came out is too long, I �� want to go back to Sky Foothill to take a look.��


    Bai Chen discovered that right now, only returning to Sky Foothill could calm his state of mind.


    After all, in that place, he was the sovereign.


    How could Ye Yuan not understand what he was thinking in his heart? He smiled and said, ��Going back, are you reconciled to it?��


    As the controller, he could indeed do as he pleased in the Sky Foothill World.


    But that was under the prerequisite of not knowing that there was a huge world outside. Once they knew, who could be willing to be mediocre?


    Bai Chen smiled bitterly and said, ��What can I do even if I��m not reconciled to it? Miss Leng��s strength is likely almost catching up to mine already. As for the others, in a few more years, they will also surpass. I ����


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said smilingly, ��This one year, Southridge has just stabilized. There was a multitude of things to attend to, so I��ve never been able to settle down. Now that the overall situation has preliminarily settled down, I finally have time to consider your problem!��


    Bai Chen was taken aback when he heard that and said, ��My problem? What problems do I have?��


    In Heavenly Eagle, he was the most free person, because he did not need to cultivate at all.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I want to research a new kind of medicinal pill and need your cooperation!��


    The moment Bai Chen heard, he said in pleasant surprise, ��I wonder what new medicinal pill Master wants to research?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill!��

 Chapter 1913 - Grand Completion Dao Realm

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Inside the hidden chamber, light revolved around.


    Bai Chen let go of his whole divine soul and also fully released the Dao that he comprehended.


    Ye Yuan��s soul force spread out, carefully sensing the secrets within Bai Chen��s body.


    This kind of state had been ongoing for more than a month.


    Every day, Ye Yuan would investigate until his soul force was depleted.


    Suddenly, the light converged, and inside the hidden chamber things returned to tranquility.


    ��Master! Are you alright?��


    Seeing the Ye Yuan who was tired until he was virtually collapsing, Bai Chen hurriedly went up to support him.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��I��m fine. Just that I used too much strength today.��


    ��Master, let��s forget it! It��s simply impossible for people who refined Dao Fruits to advance anymore.��


    When Bai Chen saw Ye Yuan being dog-tired every day, he was moved, but he really could not bear it in his heart.


    The crux was that this matter was simply a futile effort.


    Since time immemorial, how many major powers wanted to break this shackle. But no one was able to succeed.


    Disregarding what was far away, just talking about the present era, there was still an Alchemy Dao supreme existence around, but it was also unheard of that he could create this kind of medicinal pill.


    Bai Chen naturally knew that Ye Yuan was formidable, but this kind of unprecedented thing, it was truly not what the word formidable could accomplish.


    Ye Yuan looked at Bai Chen and said smilingly, ��Could it be that you��re willing to stop in front of the True God Realm in this life?��


    Bai Chen said with an indignant look, ��I��m naturally unwilling. It��s just that �� seeing Master exhaust your soul force for me every day, Bai Chen feels that I��ve let Master down. The road back then was chosen by me. I know that I��m being somewhat hypocritical now, but I can��t control myself.��


    Bai Chen understood that Ye Yuan��s time was too valuable.


    Wasting his time made Bai Chen feel grievously sinful.


    If hope could be seen in this matter, it was still alright, but it was clearly a hopeless endeavor. If he spent several years, even several decades�� time but returned without accomplishing anything.


    This kind of loss was simply immeasurable.


    Ye Yuan said, ��If there��s unwillingness, then it��s good. Under the operation of Heavenly Dao, there are no absolutes. Back then, the small world that Master was in, Heavenly Dao dwindled to zero. No one could step into the Deity Realm for more than 100 thousand years. But even so, Master also blazed a new trail and entered Great Dao with alchemy, finally entering Deity Realm.��


    Bai Chen sucked in a cold breath when he heard that and said in amazement, ��Turns out that master was actually born in a small world too? Entering Great Dao with alchemy �� truly incredible!��


    He was presently Sky Foothill World��s controller and naturally knew what Heavenly Dao signified.


    Heavenly Dao missing Divine Dao, no matter how monstrous your talent was, it was also impossible to step into Deity Realm.


    But his master did it!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There are no absolutes in the world, what you see with your eyes might not be the truth. Back then, if I gave up on Divine Dao because Heavenly Dao dwindled to zero, there also wouldn��t be the present me.��


    Bai Chen drew a deep breath and said with a nod, ��Master, I understand! I won��t give up!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The reason why one can��t advance after refining a Dao Fruit is that the Dao you refined isn��t your Dao1! Other people��s comprehensions are other people��s in the end. Even if you refine them, that��s also other people��s lifetime comprehension. That��s like wearing clothes. What you wear is clothing tailor-made for others, no matter what, you can��t possibly fit into it completely too. It��s also precisely because of this that your divine soul and your physical body can��t completely conform to other people��s Dao as well.��


    Bai Chen thought about it and said, ��But this kind of thing is too abstruse. Divine soul, physical body, Dao Fruit; three things completely becoming one, can it really be achieved?��


    Heavenly Dao was abstruse, the physical body and divine soul were similarly abstruse.


    Great Dao revolved, but the human body was also a small world that revolved according to some kind of law.


    Martial artists cultivating, most knew how but did not know the whys.


    Wanting to pry into the mysteries of the human body was an extremely difficult thing to begin with, let alone even having to make these three completely fit together?


    Since remote antiquity, how many alchemists had attempted to breach this gap, but no one was able to succeed.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not trying, how would one know? I have a feeling that once the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill succeeds, my Alchemy Dao strength will definitely improve further!��


    ��


    Ye Yuan used a full three years to probe Bai Chen��s body.


    In these three years, Ye Yuan could be said to have exhausted himself and racked his brain, completely depleting his soul force every day because he was willing to stop.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have returned to when he was studying the Dao Defying Pill back then, his entire person insane.


    Bai Chen also finally experienced Ye Yuan��s craziness.


    Only then did he knew that for Ye Yuan to be able to have today��s accomplishments, it was not coincidental.


    Other people all said that Ye Yuan��s talent was high, but did not know how much hard work he put in behind.


    It was just that this kind of frenzied probing was not what ordinary martial artists could stomach.


    Bai Chen felt that if it were him, investigating the body��s mysteries with such intensity, he would probably have long gone mad.


    Without astonishing willpower, it was simply impossible to accomplish.


    Three years later, Ye Yuan suddenly told Bai Chen that he was entering closed-seclusion and disappeared.


    Inside the World Suppressing Stele, Ye Yuan sat cross-legged in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    ��Senior, just what is the divine soul?�� Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    Through three years of probing, Ye Yuan discovered that wanting to create the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, the crux still lied with the divine soul.


    And in this aspect, Dustless undoubtedly had the greatest right to speak.


    Dustless said, ��This question, no one can answer clearly. However, humans can��t exist without the soul. The divine soul can exist independently in this world, but the physical body can��t break away from the existence of the divine soul. It��s a kind of mysterious mental energy, connecting the physical body and Heavenly Dao. Martial artists can cultivate Dao because the divine soul can communicate with Heavenly Dao. If one has to insist on saying what it is, I feel that �� it��s the extension of Heavenly Dao.��


    ��The extension of Heavenly Dao ���� Ye Yuan ruminated on Dustless��s words, his mind starting to sink into the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    ��Myriad lives have intelligence and are a part of Heavenly Dao.��


    ��The physical body is a dead substance without the soul. Grass and wood are dead objects without spirit.��


    ��If say that the divine soul is a line, this end connects to material, that end is anchored to Heavenly Dao ����


    ������


    Gradually, a trace of enlightenment was born in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Above the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, the aura of Dao gradually grew thicker.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul left the body and flew above the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    Gradually, his figure became illusory, becoming countless light dots, and finally, completely dissipating!


    In this area of space, the existence of Ye Yuan��s divine soul could no longer be seen.


    But sensing carefully, it was as if his divine soul was omnipresent.


    Seeing this scene, Dustless��s pupils constricted slightly as he cried out in surprise, ��This kid gained epiphany again! Soul fusing into Dao, feeling the source of Great Dao, even Empyreans can��t accomplish it too!��


    A hundred years passed in a twinkle. On this day, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze incomparably deep.


    Divine soul returning to position, Ye Yuan felt an inflating feeling within his body, he was actually going to break through.


    Thoughts stirring, countless middle-grade divine essence stones appeared around Ye Yuan.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan started absorbing divine essence frenziedly.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan finally reached Seventh Firmament Divine Vestige in one stroke!


    ��Dao Realm is at grand completion! Wonder when can I step into that fleeting and ephemeral Ancestor Realm!�� Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.

 Chapter 1914 - : Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital

    The legacy left behind by Sacred Ancestor High Priest let Ye Yuan have a clear understanding of Alchemy Dao realms.


    Before the Dao Realm was the Initial Realm, surface level, ignorant about Dao; getting to know the Alchemy Dao was the Initial Realm.


    Initial Realm alchemists relied entirely on experience when refining pills and could not find the proper approach. Hence, it was very hard to refine high-quality medicinal pills.


    After Initial Realm was Dao Realm. Dao Realm alchemists already understood the Great Dao. Refining pills were accomplished with high proficiency, refining divine-grade divine pills were also accomplished with high proficiency.


    Ye Yuan entered this realm since he triggered Great Dao Heavenly Melody.


    At present, 100 years of comprehending Dao and creating the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, his comprehension into the divine soul and Alchemy Dao grew deeper with each passing day, Dao Realm also finally reached the realm of grand completion.


    Just as Ye Yuan predicted, the comprehension of this Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill let him have a tremendous understanding of Alchemy Dao.


    Presently, although it still remained at the deducing stage, it already let him obtain tremendous benefits.


    According to the inheritance left behind by Sacred Ancestor High Priest, there was an even higher realm above Dao Realm; that was the Ancestor Realm.


    The Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest resided in this realm.


    Ancestor Realm was an even more drawn-out realm. It was not just the two of them that reached Ancestor Realm, some Transcendent Heavenly Emperors were likewise able to reach this realm, but these two people clearly walked further.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao Realm was at grand completion and only a step away from the Ancestor Realm. It was just that this step was far too difficult.


    Alchemists capable of reaching grand completion Dao Realm could similarly be counted on the fingers of one hand. The majority were some formidable characters among Seven-star and Eight-star.


    As for the Ancestor Realm, that was even rarer.


    Ye Yuan was presently at the grand completion Dao Realm. It could be said that his comprehension in the Alchemy Dao already surpassed over 90% of the Heavenspan World��s alchemists!


    And he was merely at rank five presently.


    After more than ten years�� time, an upheaval transformation already happened to Heavenly Eagle.


    In over a decade, a large batch of Celestial Deity powerhouses sprung up, Divine Lord Realms were even too many to enumerate. The overall strength of Heavenly Eagle rose to a new high.


    Most important, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City already became just like a small-scale alchemy holy land.


    Presently, the alchemists who rushed over from other places, hoping to join the Pill Tower, were too many to count.


    The Pill Tower also drafted strict assessment criteria to select talents.


    When Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Tong��er and Treasure Pig were already waiting outside long ago.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Treasure Pig flew over with a whoosh, tunneling straight into Ye Yuan��s bosom, the intention of curry favor was very obvious.


    ��Grunt, grunt!��


    Treasure Pig seemed to have discovered Ye Yuan��s difference and cried very happily.


    Tong��er sensed something, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes as he said, ��Heart carefree like clouds, will akin to running water flowing east and west, you �� are at grand completion Dao Realm?��


    Grand completion Dao Realm was an extremely mysterious and abstruse realm. Those able to touch it were exceedingly few.


    But Tong��er was someone in Dao Realm to begin with, so he could naturally detect Ye Yuan��s changes.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Secluding for 10 years, I finally have some understanding. It��s indeed at the grand completion!��


    Hearing this, the corners of Tong��er��s mouth twitched slightly, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became complicated.


    As a Seven-star Alchemy God and being able to satisfy Treasure Pig, Tong��er��s strength naturally went without saying.


    In reality, he had long stepped into the Dao Realm, making his Alchemy Dao strength far surpassing same rank alchemists.


    ��You punk, truly a freak! Could it be that you really comprehended the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill?�� Tong��er said rather disbelievingly.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��How is that possible? I haven��t even touched spirit medicines, I just have some direction. As for whether it can succeed or not, it will depend on Bai Chen that kid��s fortunes.��


    Tong��er��s heart felt a chill. Ye Yuan saying so indicated that he definitely had some confidence.


    Creating a new kind of medicinal pill, furthermore, it was this kind of extremely high difficulty medicinal pill, this was absolutely not that simple of a matter. It needed countless deductions and failures before it had a possibility of succeeding.


    Suddenly, Tong��er looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze and said, ��Heavenly Eagle��s resources are unable to support you to complete this pill formula at all. So what do you plan to do?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I know, so I plan on making a trip to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital and hope to reach an agreement with the Myriad Treasure Tower. That way, we won��t lack spirit medicines anymore.��


    Tong��er suddenly said: ��Since you��re already at grand completion Dao Realm, I need you to help me refine a medicinal pill.��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up and he said, ��There��s naturally no problem! It��s just that rank five divine pills doesn��t seem to have any effect on you, right?��


    Tong��er shook his head and said, ��The cultivation method that my lineage cultivates is rather peculiar. Although the cultivation speed is very fast, every 50 thousand years, I��ll return to boyhood from old age once, the time as long as a thousand years! Each time I return to boyhood from old age, my body, looks, strength, will recover to the appearance of a seven to an eight-year-old child. In these 1000 years, I��m unable to cultivate and can only remain at the strength when I was seven or eight. However, our lineage left behind several pill formulas. As long as we consume the medicinal pills, we can recover to a corresponding strength. With your current realm, coupled with grand completion Dao Realm strength, the medicinal pill refined should be able to let me recover to True God Realm.��


    ��So that��s how it is! No problem, leave this to me.�� Ye Yuan suddenly saw the light, only now knowing why Tong��er would become like this.


    But Ye Yuan became interested too. If Tong��er could really recover True God Realm strength, then Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would undoubtedly have an additional genuine powerhouse holding down the fort.


    At that time, even when facing the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s three great powers, they would also have the strength to protect themselves.


    Ye Yuan could not help having a headache when he saw the pill formula.


    This medicinal pill was called Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, a type of level nine difficulty super rank five divine pill. The refining difficulty was extremely great.


    In fact, it was even a notch higher than the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill.


    The spirit medicines on it, each type was extremely precious. No wonder Tong��er never mentioned this matter all the way until now.


    ��


    After Ye Yuan delegated over some matters, he brought Bai Chen, Ning Tianping, Tong��er, Treasure Pig, as well as the Myriad Treasure Tower��s Xiao Feng, and left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    After a thousand years passed, Xiao Feng��s present strength was also no longer what it was in the past.


    It was just that his age was a little too old, his potential long already exhausted. Even with Ye Yuan��s help, his improvement was also limited.


    Presently, he still remained at the realm of Four-star Alchemy God.


    But to Xiao Feng, his present realm was already what he did not dare to imagine.


    To be able to walk until this step today, he was naturally overwhelmed with gratefulness toward Ye Yuan.


    Inside the Purple Extreme Hall, a group of people sat opposite facing each other.


    ��This trip, I��ll have to trouble Brother Xiao,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said, ��Younger Brother Ye, you��re too serious. I��m merely a measly Four-star Alchemy God. I don��t even count as a supporting cast in the great imperial capital. During this trip, you��ll likely still have to bring out your own strength! But there��s one thing that you can rest assured about; the cities under the Myriad Treasure Tower mostly treat earning money as a top priority. As long as there are profits to be earned, they won��t refuse.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I heard that the one in charge of Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital is Empyrean Flutterfeather. He himself is a Seven-star Alchemy God, with his Alchemy Dao cultivation being exceedingly high. Not at all inferior compared to the powerhouses under the Medicine Ancestor��s command. Wonder if I can experience his splendor this time or not!��

 Chapter 1915 - Not Seeing

    Xiao Feng opened his mouth and did not speak.


    Ye Yuan��s words, he could not comprehend it.


    Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was an extremely famous city of medicinal pills within the human territories.


    The reason was none other than Empyrean Flutterfeather was a Seven-star Alchemy God who had a resounding reputation.


    Seven-star Alchemy God was already the limits of what ordinary people could understand.


    Heavenly Emperor-class powerhouses, each one was very mysterious. Even Empyrean powerhouses found it hard to see their true face.


    Eight-star Alchemy Gods were naturally more mysterious than Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    Reaching the boundary of Eight-star Alchemy God, it was hard to be moved by secular objects at all. Wanting to invite them to take action was simply nothing more than wishful thinking.


    Only Heavenly Emperor-class powerhouses could entice them.


    Hence, Empyrean Flutterfeather was naturally one of the Empyreans with exceedingly formidable Alchemy Dao strength in the eyes of the human martial artists.


    With Ye Yuan��s current Alchemy Dao strength, it was already hard for ordinary alchemists to enter his sights.


    Only Empyrean Flutterfeather, this level of super powerhouses, would he have the interest to have an exchange with.


    These words naturally sounded incomparably conceited to others, but Tong��er by the side knew that Ye Yuan had this capital.


    ��


    In a blink, it was another few years. Ye Yuan��s party crossed over countless city walls and finally arrived at Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    ��My God, is this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital made out of gold?��


    Even if he had broadened his horizons greatly from following Ye Yuan, Ning Tianping was also dumbstruck with amazement by the scene before his eyes.


    Using resplendent and magnificent to describe this enormous city was all too apt.


    Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was situated by the mountains. The city walls were all a stretch of golden color, looking like it was built using pure gold; extremely grand and imposing.


    ��Heh, you��re also looking down on Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital too much! Each brick of this city wall is integrated with 50% Gilt Ironsand and reinforced with a rank seven grand array. Even an Empyrean powerhouse��s attack can forget about leaving a mark behind on the city wall,�� Xiao Feng said.


    Ning Tianping said in shock, ��50% Gilt Ironsand! That��s a rank seven material, every little bit is worth a thousand gold! This city is so big, wouldn��t it empty out the entire Heavenspan World��s Gilt Ironsand?��


    Xiao Feng smiled and said, ��Myriad Treasure Tower is spread all over the Heavenspan World. The income every day, you can��t imagine it at all. This city is indeed extraordinary, but to Lord Heavenly Emperor, it��s merely a single hair from nine oxen.��


    Hearing that, Ye Yuan was also incomparably shocked in his heart.


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure could really be said to be the richest in the world!


    ��Halt! Do you all have customs clearance documents?�� A guard at the city gate entrance immediately stopped them when he saw Ye Yuan and the rest.


    When Xiao Feng saw the situation, he hurriedly bowed and said, ��This brother, I��m a deacon under Springwind Hall. This is my token. These few are my Myriad Treasure Tower��s good friends and want to enter the city to discuss a deal with Springwind Hall. I hope that you can be accommodating.��


    The present Xiao Feng was already a first-rate figure in Heavenly Eagle��s Myriad Treasure Tower. But arriving here, he had to even humble himself towards a guard.


    The guard smiled disdainfully when he saw the token and said, ��A mere low-level deacon also came to the great imperial capital to discuss business, you aren��t joking, right? Do you know what kind of big business Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital is doing every day? Hurry up and get lost, entering is also wasting the lords�� time!��


    Xiao Feng looked toward Ye Yuan with a bitter smile, a helpless look on his face.


    His identity was truly too low in a place like a great imperial capital, even the guards looked down on him.


    Cities of a level did things at the same level. Those who came to great imperial capitals to talk business, which one wasn��t a wealthy tycoon of a region?


    Even so, before they entered the city, they still had needed customs clearance documents before they could enter the city.


    A measly imperial city��s Four-star Alchemy God, what kind of big business could he bring?


    The powerhouses that the guard had seen before were too many to count, so he would not take Ye Yuan and the others, these Celestial Deity Realms, seriously at all.


    Even though he himself was also just a Third Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Ye Yuan smiled and scooted over to the guard��s side and said smilingly, ��This brother, we really have business to discuss, I hope that you can be accommodating.��


    He fished out a medicinal pill like performing a magic trick, putting it in front of the guard.


    That guard��s gaze turned sharp, and he hurriedly put it away and waved his hand and said, ��Hurry up and go inl don��t block the people behind.��


    A purple spirit rank five divine pill, a small guard at his level could not afford to use it.


    The medicinal pill that Ye Yuan gave him was sufficient for him to break through to Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity!


    This kind of big gift, how could he not have the reason to let Ye Yuan go in?


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and brought everyone into the city.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, really sorry about it, I ���� Xiao Feng looked at Ye Yuan and said with an ashamed look.


    He also did not expect that he could not even enter the city gates.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Xiao, you don��t need to be like this. If not for your token, even if I gave him medicinal pills, he also won��t dare to accept it.��


    Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s headquarters; completely different from Heavenly Eagle��s Myriad Treasure Tower that depended on others for a living.


    There were god knows how many major powers and great tycoons that came and went here every day.


    If without the Myriad Treasure Tower��s middleman leading the way, these guards absolutely did not dare to easily let them enter. This was also the reason why Ye Yuan had to bring Xiao Feng along.


    Ning Tianping said indignantly, ��Really acting like snobs! After we��re done with this deal, need to let that punk take a look at how one cannot judge people by appearance!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This world talks using strength. Our strength is naturally top-rate when placed in Heavenly Eagle. But arriving at a great imperial capital, it��s nothing much anymore. The Empyrean powerhouses that that guard head just now had seen are likely not in the minority too. Why would he pay attention to the few of us Celestial Deity Realms?��


    Ning Tianping naturally knew this logic, but he was still very irate and said, ��Humph! A rank five divine pill, just take it as having fed a dog!��


    The party entered the city and headed straight for the most prosperous region.


    After passing through many places, the few people arrived in front of a mansion.


    Xiao Feng showed the token and invitation to the guard and said respectfully, ��This lowly one is Springwind Hall��s low-level deacon, Xiao Feng. My master is Rivercalm Imperial Capital��s high-level Five-star Alchemy God, Lu Zhe. This is Master��s handwritten greeting, hope that I can request an audience with Elder Jiang Yuan!��


    When that guard heard Xiao Feng introduce his background, he had a disdainful look on his face. After looking at the greeting card, he waved his hand and said, ��Go to the gatehouse over there and wait.��


    Xiao Feng��s heart eased up, he was afraid that this guard directly chased people away.


    Rivercalm Imperial Capital was an imperial capital under Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s command. Xiao Feng��s master, Lu Zhe, had some status in Rivercalm Imperial Capital.


    Of course, arriving at a great imperial capital, it was still not enough to look at.


    This Jiang Yuan was Springwind Hall��s elder, a True God Realm powerhouse, his status in Myriad Treasure Tower quite high.


    Before Xiao Feng came here, he requested for this greeting card from his master.


    It was just that whether people gave face or not, he had no confidence in his heart at all.


    Arriving at the gatehouse, the few people were immediately stunned.


    Inside the gatehouse was long already packed full of people. Furthermore, each and every one of them, their strengths were not ordinary.


    A servant issued Xiao Feng a number plate and said in an ordering tone, ��This is your number, hold it properly. When your number is called, then go in.��


    It could be seen that this Elder Jiang Yuan��s status was rather high. Clearly, the people who came to find him for business were a lot.


    The few people did not expect that their wait lasted seven days and seven nights.


    After seven days, their number plate was finally called.


    The servant led them into a house. Inside the house was a steward-looking middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man said coolly, ��Bring up your greeting card.��


    Xiao Feng hurriedly handed it up. The middle-aged man swept a glance, threw it back again, and said coolly, ��You all leave. The family head is very busy and isn��t free to see you all.��

 Chapter 1916 - Have Your Family Head Come Find Me

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This �� Lord Jiang Hua, can you accommodate a little? We really have important matters to discuss with Elder Jiang Yuan.��


    Xiao Feng did not expect that waiting bitterly for seven days and seven nights, what he got was such a sentence.


    He did not feel that he lost face. It was just that being unable to help Ye Yuan made him very ashamed and guilty in his heart.


    It was hard to enter a noble gate!


    Originally thought that his master was, at any rate, a high-level Five-star Alchemy God too and could more or less have some face. Who knew that other people did not give you this face at all.


    Xiao Feng felt bitter in his heart.


    It was just that he did not want to give up just like this and still wanted to fight for it.


    Who knew that Jiang Hua��s expression turned dark and then said with a cold snort, ��Important matter? Don��t you, a low-level deacon, understand your identity? Everyone that comes over to find Family Head all says that they have important matters. If I let anyone in, how do I still work as a steward? Also, holding a Five-star Alchemy God��s greeting card and you want to come and meet Family Head? In great imperial capitals, what do Five-star Alchemy Gods count for? Quickly get lost, don��t block other people!��


    Xiao Feng��s fury rose up with a whoosh.


    He was merely a nobody, but Jiang Hua��s words insulted his master, which made him unable to accept it.


    ��You! Bullying people too far! You��re merely a Celestial Deity yourself, so who do you think you are?�� Xiao Feng said furiously.


    Jiang Hua��s gaze turned cold and did not even give any warning, raising his hand, it was a palm.


    Xiao Feng was merely a Divine Lord Realm, this palm came over akin to toppling mountains and overturning the seas, how could he block it?


    But right at this time, Jiang Hua only felt a blur before his eyes, and his attack was actually dissolved without a sound.


    ��So fast!�� Jiang Hua��s pupils constricted, secretly shocked in his heart.


    He was Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity and actually did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move!


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was merely a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity.


    However, he did not care at all, because this place was the Jiang Manor.


    ��What, do you guys want to cause trouble in the Jiang Manor?�� Jiang Hua said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��It was clearly you who attacked first, how did it become us who caused trouble? Not seeing then not seeing, there��s also no need to insult people��s master. I��ll send my regards to your father right now, I wonder how you��d feel? You see, I haven��t even extend my greetings, and your expression already changed. Therefore, you should be more understanding of others, don��t let your eyes grow on top of your head.��


    A round of words was said until Jiang Hua��s face alternated between green and white.


    Ye Yuan was clearly scolding him, yet, it was like he did not scold, making Jiang Hua feel aggrieved.


    Only to see his expression turn dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Humph! Looks like you guys aren��t placing my Jiang Manor in your eyes! Come, guards, take these few people down for me and teach them a good lesson.��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, a powerful aura instantly erupted, locking Jiang Hua down firmly.


    Jiang Hua��s expression suddenly changed, like his throat was clutched by someone. Even breathing became anguishing.


    He was incomparably shocked in his heart. Why would a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity give him such tremendous pressure?


    Under the word of command, four to five Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses dashed in all at once. They were all the Jiang Manor��s house guards.


    Even though there were many True God powerhouses inside great imperial capitals, it was naturally impossible for them to become a house guard of a Jiang Manor.


    ��Steward Jiang! Are �� Are you okay?��


    When the guards saw Jiang Hua��s complexion turn white, each and every one of their faces changed drastically.


    This Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity young man in front of them actually gave them a feeling of being unable to overcome with force.


    This kind of feeling was truly ludicrous!


    Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Hua and said coolly, ��You rely on your master��s might to bully others here, but you said that we don��t put the Jiang Manor in our eyes. Can you, a puny little steward, represent the Jiang Manor? Or is it that you took yourself to be the Jiang Manor��s master? What a show of authority!��


    When the guards heard that, their expressions when looking at Jiang Hua were full of peculiarness.


    But Jiang Hua��s expression changed, and he said stammeringly, ��Y-You��re slinging mud at people!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You said the words yourself, the show of authority was displayed by you, and you said that I��m slinging mud? Does every person who comes to Jiang Manor have to see your attitude? We waited for seven days and night, handed over the greeting card, and felt that there was no problem in the area of etiquette when we touched our hearts and asked ourselves. But you only swept a glance at the greeting card and made us scram? A snobbish person like you probably chased away quite a few people indiscriminately, right? As a servant, you made enemies for your master everywhere. Did I malign you then?��


    Those house guards all exchanged glances. They all knew that Steward Jiang Hua was indeed becoming more and more haughty.


    When doing things now, he was somewhat arrogant.


    Everyone��s cultivation realm was clearly more or less the same, but he totally paid no attention to them, these guards.


    Hence, what Ye Yuan said was not wrong.


    Imperial cities were still alright, but of those who came to visit, there were quite a number of imperial capitals�� powerhouses.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, what if among these people, someone rose up. Then it was provoking huge trouble for his own master.


    The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the gatehouse there. Quite a number of people had already surrounded them long ago.


    Some people could not help secretly approving when they heard Ye Yuan��s words.


    Most of them had to look to Jiang Yuan for help. Hence, they could only humble themselves and wait in the gatehouse, waiting to be called in.


    It was just that meeting or not was also entirely up to Jiang Hua��s whims.


    These few years, Jiang Hua extorted considerable profit from them.


    As for those who came from imperial cities like Ye Yuan, Jiang Hua completely turned his nose up at them and naturally could not be bothered to reach his hand out towards them as well.


    But Jiang Hua laughed coldly when he heard that and said, ��Your meaning is that you��ll be a remarkable important figure in the future, and existence that even our family head can��t afford to provoke? Hahaha! I want to hear what important matters a bumpkin who came from a mere imperial city have to find Family Head!��


    ��No need! I��ll make your family head come find me personally! Brother Xiao, let��s go.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    As he said, he withdrew his aura and brought Xiao Feng, and prepared to turn around and leave.


    The pressure on Jiang Hua��s body suddenly lightened, but he was already furious to the extreme in his heart.


    Seeing Ye Yuan go out, Jiang Hua gave a furious roar: ��Go invite the True God Realm retainer in the house, and take this punk down for me! I want to see how he becomes a big shot!��


    Whoosh!


    A ray of sword light directly tore apart the void, immediately rushing in from outside the house, and brushing past Jiang Hua��s ear.


    Jiang Hua only felt a wind blow past, the muscles in his body suddenly tensed up.


    Crack!


    A wooden beam behind Jiang Hua was directly split into two.


    Jiang Hua��s pupils constricted, only knowing in hindsight that he had already had a brush with the god of death.


    Drip! Drip!


    Cold sweat flowed down the side of his head.


    He stood there and did not dare to make the slightest movement for a long time, all the way until Ye Yuan��s figure disappeared from the area of the Jiang Manor.


    Those guards also looked at this scene in astonishment, incomparably shocked in their hearts.


    They were all rejoicing, lucky they did not take action just now, otherwise, they would probably all be corpses now!


    Law fusion! Spatial law!


    This young man was incredible!


    Suddenly, Jiang Hua��s entire body trembled, finally recovering his senses.


    ��Is �� he gone?�� Jiang Hua asked the guards anxiously and doubtfully.

 Chapter 1917 - Earth Qilin

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��G-Gone, Steward Jiang,�� the guard said with lingering fear.


    Only then did Jiang Hua come back to his senses, and heave a long sigh in relief.


    Immediately after, he gave a cold snort again and said disdainfully, ��Foolish thing! Family Head is the Springwind Hall��s elder. Why would he go look for a trash like you?��


    It was true that Ye Yuan was formidable, but formidable people in this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital were too many. How could Family Head Jiang Yuan possibly go and personally try to meet a Celestial Deity?


    It was absolutely impossible for this sort of thing to happen.


    Thinking about it, he turned around and went out of the wing-room. He went into a courtyard of the Jiang Manor. This place was the residence of Jiang Manor��s retainers.


    ��Oh, isn��t this Younger Brother Jiang Hua? What wind blew you over? Eh, why is your expression so ugly? There��s actually still someone who dares to provoke Younger Brother in this Jiang Manor?��


    When a middle-aged man in fitting attire saw Jiang Hua, he immediately greeted him with all smiles.


    This retainer was called Qin Guan, a First Firmament True God powerhouse.


    One should not look at how he was a True God Realm powerhouse. He was still very polite toward Jiang Hua.


    They all, these foreign-surname retainers, the allocation of resources all had to go through Jiang Hua��s hands. Jiang Hua��s authority in the Jiang Family was tremendous.


    Forging good relations with him naturally had no downside.


    Jiang Hua��s expression was very ugly as he said, ��Elder Brother Qin Guan, this brother was threatened by someone today. I hope that Elder Brother can help me vent this frustration!��


    Qin Guan said in surprise, ��There��s actually someone who dares to threaten Younger Brother? Is he tired of living? Tell me about it!��


    Qin Guan was not a fool either, meddling in everything.


    If it was a True God or an existence that he could not afford to provoke, he naturally did not dare to deal with it.


    Even if persimmons, he got to pick the soft ones to knead.


    Hearing Jiang Hua��s words, his face fell. He then said in a cold voice, ��What a conceited brat! He��s used to being arrogant in the imperial city, right? This place is a great imperial capital, even True God powerhouses don��t dare to be insolent. This punk is really tired of living! Younger Brother, you say, what to do about him?��


    Hearing that it was a few Celestial Deity Realms, Qin Guan was immediately roused up.


    This persimmon, he was going to knead it.


    A hint of viciousness flashed across in Jiang Hua��s eyes and he said, ��Humph! This kid who��s ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, forget it if he insulted me, but he turned his nose up at the Jiang Manor! He deserves to die! Brother Qin Guan, I��ll grasp his whereabouts at all times these few days. You help me end him!��


    Qin Guan patted his chest and said, ��Relax, leave it to me.��


    When Jiang Hua saw that he agreed, he smiled and said, ��Brother Qin Guan rest assured, after the matter is done, Jiang Hua will definitely show generous thanks.��


    ��


    Parting on a sour note, Xiao Feng had an apologetic and guilty look on his face.


    ��Ye Yuan, sorry, Master��s debt of gratitude toward this Xiao is akin to a mountain, I truly can��t allow others to vilify him.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t even have time to thank you yet, what are you saying sorry for? These stewards all have eyes growing on top of their heads. Even if a True God powerhouse came, they might turn their noses up at him too. Why bother with someone like him?��


    ��But, without Elder Jiang Yuan��s connections, wouldn��t our trip have been in vain?�� Xiao Feng said awkwardly.


    ��Heaven doesn��t seal off all paths, there will always be a way,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Your Excellency, then what should we do now?�� Ning Tianping asked.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Since the road here is blocked, let��s go buy some spirit medicines first. When Tong��er��s strength recovers to the True God Realm, our safety will also be more secure.��


    In this great imperial capital where True Gods walked everywhere, Ye Yuan��s current strength was still a little weak.


    With a True God powerhouse by his side, it would naturally be much safer.


    Ye Yuan was also prepared against Jiang Hua, but he did not expect that he really guessed it correctly; Jiang Hua did not plan to let them off.


    The party left the Jiang Manor and headed straight for the Hundred Herb Gathering.


    The Hundred Herb Gathering was a large-scale spirit medicine trading market, covering a very vast area. It was established by the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    But those selling spirit medicines here were far from just the Myriad Treasure Tower alone.


    This place gathered more than a dozen major forces, large businesses, and even many retail brokers, mutually helping to make up for what the others lack, forming a super massive spirit medicine market. The daily throughput capacity was very astonishing.


    Of course, the Myriad Treasure Tower also earned boatloads in this area.


    The spirit medicines that Tonger��s Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill required were too rare. They could only be gathered in a place like the Hundred Herb Gathering.


    If even this place was unable to gather them, then there was only getting super lucky in the future, or wait for him to recover his strength after a thousand years.


    A beautiful female attendant asked Ye Yuan with a radiant smile, ��Sir, may I ask what spirit medicines you need?��


    The Hundred Herb Gathering had an inquiry area, martial artists could search for the spirit medicines that they need here.


    The Hundred Herb Gathering had a dazzling array of spirit medicines, all levels of spirit medicines, with a great variety, and in an extremely huge number.


    If martial artists went to find one by one, who knew how much time they would have to waste.


    For this, the Hundred Herb Gathering built a large-scale array formation and categorized all of the spirit medicines into different classes into the array formation.


    When it entered the warehouse, when was it sold, there were clear records.


    This way, it was easy to manage and also convenient for martial artists to check.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Help me check for Ironwood Ash, Blackheart Seaweed, Earth Qilin ����


    Ye Yuan listed a large bunch of spirit medicines in one go. That beautiful attendant��s dainty fingers moved slightly, entering one spell after another into the array formation in front of her.


    Very soon, the results were out.


    ��Sir, our Myriad Treasure Tower and Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce both have Ironwood Ash. Deerchase Merchanting Association has two portions of Blackheart Seaweed, ���� The beautiful attendant spoke with confidence and composure, reporting the results of the inquiry.


    Ye Yuan frowned when he heard it and said, ��What about the Earth Qilin?��


    The beautiful attendant answered with a smile, ��It was still in stock just now, but it might be gone now. Before Sir came, Master Chen Chang had just inquired about this Earth Qilin and has already gone over now. Currently, in the Hundred Herb Gathering, there��s just one portion of Earth Qilin.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Since it hasn��t been sold yet, then I should still be able to go and enquire, right? Tell me the stall, this shouldn��t violate the rules, right?��


    The attendant smiled and said, ��It naturally doesn��t violate, sir can go take a look. But, Master Chen Chang is a famous Six-star Alchemy God in the city, you ����


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Tell me.��


    The attendant was helpless and could only tell Ye Yuan the stall.


    This Earth Qilin was a type of spirit medicine. It got its name because it looked remarkably like the legendary divine beast, Qilin. It was extremely seldom-seen.


    Such a large Hundred Herb Gathering only had this one portion, the rarity could be seen.


    But this Earth Qilin was a core ingredient to refine the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill.


    Once he let it slip by this time, no idea when he would be able to find it again. Ye Yuan naturally would not be willing to give up.


    According to that attendant��s instructions, Ye Yuan found that stall very soon. But he saw that an old man was currently flushed to the ears, appearing very indignant.


    That Earth Qilin was currently quietly placed in a jade container.


    This old man was likely Master Chen Chang that that attendant spoke of.


    Seeing that the Earth Qilin was not sold, Ye Yuan also let out a long sigh in relief.


    Looks like these two people did not reach an agreement in the transaction of the Earth Qilin.


    ��You this fellow, how can you be so obstinate? My Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill already reached peak heaven-grade; infinitely close to divine-grade! I already said I��ll use other things to compensate you, why aren��t you willing to relent?�� Chen Chang said angrily to the stall owner.

 Chapter 1918 - Vying With the Master for Spirit Medicine

    The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a felt cap, looking somewhat weathered-beaten.


    Seeing Master Chen Chang flying off the handle, he said with an indifferent look, ��I already said, this Earth Qilin can only be exchanged for a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill. Lower than divine-grade, not exchanging altogether!��


    Chen Chang felt exasperated. Pointing at the nose of the middle-aged man with a felt hat, he said, ��You go out and inquire, this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, apart from me, Chen Chang, who else can refine a peak heaven-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill? Unless Lord Flutterfeather personally takes action, otherwise, even if you wait ten thousand years, you might not be able to get divine-grade too!��


    Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was a level nine difficulty rank five divine pill. It could be said to be a rank five healing holy medicine. The refining difficulty was not at all inferior to the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill.


    Even for Chen Chang, this kind of alchemy master who was known far and wide, wanting to refine divine-grade also had to depend on luck.


    Peak heaven-grade and divine-grade were only separated by a thin line, but this thin line was as hard as ascending to the heavens.


    That was the difference between knowing and not knowing.


    With Chen Chang��s strength, if he kept on refining, there would always be hope of refining a divine-grade.


    It was just that this way, disregarding whether or not there were that many spirit medicines, the price was also too high.


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat said coolly, ��Then I��ll wait until a divine-grade one appears.��


    Chen Chang could not help choking when he heard that, an enraged appearance from disappointment surfacing on his face.


    ��You �� Why are you so stubborn?��


    The middle-aged man in felt hat saw that Chen Chang was anxious, the expression on his face eased up slightly and he said with cupped fists, ��Master Chen Chang, I know that your Alchemy Dao strength is exceedingly formidable, but my brother��s injury must use a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill. This Earth Qilin, I really can��t sell to you. Please forgive me.��


    The moment Chen Chang heard it, his face involuntarily revealed a depressed look.


    One could tell that he clearly coveted this Earth Qilin immensely.


    ��If I can bring out a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, can this Earth Qilin be exchanged with me?�� The two people were currently at a stalemate when a voice sounded out by the side.


    The two people glanced over but saw a young man in white robes walking over to this side.


    This young man was naturally Ye Yuan.


    When Chen Chang saw the situation, he flicked his sleeves grandly and said with a frown, ��Where did this little imp come from, don��t cause trouble here!��


    When the middle-aged man in the felt hat heard this, his eyes originally lit up. But seeing Ye Yuan��s young visage, he immediately lost interest.


    ��Young man, don��t come and make fun of me, I can��t bear being made the target of amusement! Go back to where you came from!��


    Although Ye Yuan��s strength was pretty good, it could not enter their sights at all.


    In this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity martial artists could be described using as plentiful as oxen hair, why would they pay any attention?


    Let alone Chen Chang, a late-stage True God Realm top powerhouse, high-level Six-star Alchemy God.


    This middle-aged man in the felt hat also had First Firmament True God cultivation.


    Ye Yuan did not mind and said smilingly, ��I don��t have time to make fun of you. This Earth Qilin is very important to me. If you need the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, I can refine it for you right now. Let��s hand over the money in one hand, and the goods in the other.��


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately attracted quite a few people��s attention.


    ��Where did this kid come out from, to actually dare snatch spirit medicines from Master Chen Chang?��


    ��He even said that he��s going to refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill on the spot. This trumpet is blown really hard.��


    ��Heh, truly shameless boasting! Even Master Chen Chang has to take a chance when refining the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill. Could it be that he, a measly little Five-star Alchemy God, can refine it?��


    ��


    Chen Chang��s reputation was clearly very resounding. Quite a number of experts present were very familiar with him.


    A Celestial Deity Realm that popped out from god knows where said that he was going to refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, this kind of spectacle was really rather funny.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Chen Chang��s face fell and he said, ��Young man, do you know who this old man is? To actually dare snatch something from this old man?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Chen Chang and said with a smile, ��I naturally know; you��re Master Chen Chang. But this Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, weren��t you unable to refine it? Since you can��t refine it, you can��t very well let this Earth Qilin be wasted here, right? Master Chen Chang, you enjoy high prestige and command universal respect, if you can take out a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, this child naturally won��t fight with you.��


    When Chen Chang heard that, his face could not help turning black.


    How could divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill be so easy to refine?


    If he could take it out, why would he still need to talk rubbish here?


    ��Humph! Punk, you also got to come up prepared when bragging, alright? It��s not that this old man is boasting, but in this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, apart from Lord Flutterfeather, no one has absolute confidence in being able to refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill! As for the other few people, their strengths are almost on par with this old man; a hairline away from this old man. They naturally have to depend on luck too. You say that you can refine it? Who would believe!�� Chen Chang said with a disdainful look.


    When the others heard this, they all secretly nodded their heads, and they mocked Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability in their hearts.


    Master Chen Chang was naturally not boasting, he naturally had his confidence in saying these words. No one would feel that there was anything inappropriate.


    But the words Ye Yuan said, that was boasting.


    For some time, mocking voices sounded out all around, ridiculing Ye Yuan one after another.


    Ye Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in the felt hat and said smilingly, ��Senior, please hold out on packing up the stall, and wait here for a moment. This Ye will be right back, okay?��


    The middle-aged man in felt hat looked at Ye Yuan with a suspicious look and said coolly, ��If you can really bring a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, this Earth Qilin is naturally yours!��


    As he said, the middle-aged man in the felt hat actually did not take it seriously at all.


    He was naturally aware of Chen Chang��s reputation and was not willing to overly offend too, hence, that was why he said those words.


    To say that Ye Yuan was even more formidable than Chen Chang, he would not believe even if he was beaten to death too.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and immediately turned around and left.


    Chen Chang snorted coldly and naturally thought nothing of it.


    Forget that it was just a Five-star Alchemy God, even if a Six-star Alchemy God came, he also had sufficient confidence to feel that the other party would be inferior to him.


    A Celestial Deity Realm brat whose skeletal age did not exceed 1000 years old could refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?


    A fantasy tale!


    After Ye Yuan left, he went to inquire about the spirit medicines needed to refine the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill.


    Disregarding other things, his actions still aroused quite a number of people��s attention.


    Some people did not believe in such heresy and actually followed Ye Yuan to move around within the Hundred Herb Gathering.


    Although the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was a level nine difficulty medicinal pill, compared to the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, the medicinal pills needed were much more common. Various major factions all had some stock, Ye Yuan gathered them very quickly.


    Of course, this also cost quite a bit of his divine essence stones.


    But the present Ye Yuan already obtained the Purple Extreme Hall��s inheritance and also sat on the Southridge Ten Cities.


    Even if he reduced quite a bit of tax, he was also an out-and-out nouveau riche. Purchasing these spirit medicines was naturally not difficult.


    Within this Hundred Herb Gathering, quite a few people were all exchanging for medicinal pills. Pill refining rooms were naturally equipped.


    Ye Yuan gathered the spirit medicines and rented a pill refining room and started refining the pill.


    Outside the pill refining room, a group of people surrounded there, clamoring to get a word in.


    ��This boy really went to refine pills! These spirit medicines that he bought, he probably spent no less than a million middle-grade divine essence stones, right?��


    ��Goodness gracious! Don��t look at how this brat is young; he��s really a wealthy guy!��


    ��Heh, reckon that he��s a wastrel! Just the likes of him also want to refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?��

 Chapter 1919 - Where’s Your Family’s Grown-Up

    ��Came out! This boy came out!��


    ��Just how long has it been, he��s already done refining?��


    ��Refine my ass! It��s naturally a failure! Just this short while can refine a level nine difficulty medicinal pill?��


    ��


    The moment Ye Yuan came out, it immediately caused a commotion.


    He came out too quickly, using only less than four hours.


    Logically speaking, the higher the difficulty of the medicinal pill, the more troublesome it was to refine.


    Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill this kind of medicinal pill, the time expended would naturally be longer.


    Even for a master like Chen Chang, spending eight to ten hours, 12 to 14 hours was a normal occurrence.


    Ye Yuan entered the pill refining room for less than four hours from start to finish, what could he refine?


    Did he really take level nine difficulty medicinal pills to be cabbages on the streets; anyhow refined?


    Toward these meddlesome people, Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered with them.


    He divided the crowd as he walked right over toward the stall of that middle-aged man in the felt hat.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help having stunned faces.


    This kid really went?


    Asking for trouble?


    ��Mn? This kid can get back so quickly?�� A large group of people pouring over naturally attracted the attention of Chen Chang and the middle-aged man in the felt hat.


    After Ye Yuan left, he hounded the middle-aged man in the felt hat and prattled for a long time. But the middle-aged man in the felt hat did not commit himself until success was certain and insisted on seeing the divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill before he was willing to let it go.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come over, Chen Chang said huffily, ��Stinking brat, you really dared to come! Don��t tell me that you already refined a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill in this short while!��


    When the middle-aged man in the felt hat looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes revealed an impatient look but did not speak.


    ��That��s of course! Otherwise, would I, a junior, really dare to make fun of you two?�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out a small bottle with a seal and threw it to the middle-aged man in the felt hat.


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat received it and took a look, his expression immediately changed.


    Not just him, the expression on Chen Chang��s face also became serious.


    Through the small bottle, one could see that the color of the medicinal pill was extremely pretty, giving people a refreshing feeling.


    Needless to say, the quality of this medicinal pill must be very high.


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat sunk a wisp of divine sense into the small bottle, the expression on his face became more and more shocked.


    Following that, it was a look of wild elation.


    Looking at the color was one thing, whether or not it was really a divine-grade medicinal pill still needed to be tested.


    Everyone stared at the middle-aged man in the felt hat, his expression infected the people around him, making everyone��s faces likewise becoming shocked.


    Could it be that inside this small bottle was really a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?


    Ye Yuan looked at the middle-aged man in the felt hat quietly and did not say anything.


    With his present strength, even refining a vast spirit Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was a cinch, let alone talk about a purple spirit divine pill.


    Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the felt hat lightly pushed the jade box containing the Earth Qilin, pushing it in front of Ye Yuan, and said, ��This Earth Qilin is yours! The quality of the medicinal pill is even better than I imagined. If you need any other compensation, feel free to open your mouth.��


    One sentence shocked everyone!


    ��I-It��s really a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?��


    ��My eyesight must be failing! Could it be that this brat��s Alchemy Dao strength is even stronger than Master Chen Chang��s?��


    ��


    Master Chen Chang pushed for half a day here and this middle-aged man in the felt hat refused to loosen up.


    Now, he actually gave the Earth Qilin to this young man just like that!


    The impact that this scene brought to everyone was too intense.


    In great imperial capitals, divine-grade medicinal pills were not rare. But divine-grade level nine medicinal pills, that was seldom-seen.


    The difficulty of level nine medicinal pills, it could be said that each one was as hard as ascending to the heavens!


    Heaven-grade was easy to encounter, divine-grade was hard to find!


    But now, Ye Yuan took out a divine-grade level nine medicinal pill, how could they not be shocked?


    Plus, there was Chen Chang, this master for comparison by the side, this shock became even more intense.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out to take the Earth Qilin, but he heard Chen Chang shout loudly, ��Hold on!��


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat frowned and said, ��Master, now that the transaction is done, could it be that Master wants to wreck the deal?��


    In the Hundred Herb Gathering, the transaction of things was given by one and accepted by another.


    Ruining deals here was a very serious crime. Even for an existence like Chen Chang, he could not bear it too.


    Chen Chang did not answer. Reaching his hand out towards the middle-aged man in the felt hat, he said, ��Let me take a look at the medicinal pill.��


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still passed the small bottle over.


    He was not worried about Chen Chang destroying the medicinal pill, because he could not bear the consequences.


    Chen Chang received the small bottle and also sunk a wisp of divine sense inside.


    Very soon, the expression on his face became complicated and astonished, just like the middle-aged man in felt hat earlier.


    ��Brat, where��s your family��s grown-up?�� Chen Chang asked Ye Yuan with a solemn look.


    ��Grown-up?�� Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that.


    ��Stop feigning ignorance! Looking at your bone age, you absolutely won��t exceed 2000 years old. If you can refine an Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill that infinitely approaches vast spirit divine-grade at your tiny age, wouldn��t this old man��s many years have been in vain?�� Chen Chang said.


    Hearing this, the surrounding people all revealed a look of sudden realization.


    Yeah!


    This boy must have come from some great alchemy family. There must be an extremely formidable high-level alchemy god behind him.


    That high-level alchemy god��s strength was at least by no means inferior to Master Chen Chang. He might be even more powerful than him.


    Otherwise, Master Chen Chang also would not take it so seriously.


    As for Ye Yuan spending two to four hours to go refine the pill earlier, that was merely to pull the wool over people��s eyes.


    Hearing Chen Chang��s words, Ye Yuan��s face revealed a strange look.


    Could it be that his performance was too astonishing?


    This Chen Chang actually did not believe that the medicinal pill was refined by him.


    If he refined a vast spirit divine pill, would Chen Chang speculate that the powerhouse behind him was Lord Medicine Ancestor?


    ��This medicinal pill was refined by me,�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan and said in earnest, ��Young man, wanting to become famous is a good thing, but you have to rely on your own ability! With the way you are, even if you really become renowned under the heavens, if other people really came to find you to request for pills, what will you do? Your background isn��t bad, don��t harm yourself!��


    Clearly, Chen Chang did not believe Ye Yuan��s words at all.


    Ye Yuan went out and walked one round, and only spent less than four hours and then took out a purple spirit divine pills.


    In Chen Chang��s view, this was merely Ye Yuan exposing himself unwittingly by trying to cover things up, hoping that others would believe that this medicinal pill was refined by him.


    In reality, in his mind, Ye Yuan merely just happened to have a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill on him.


    If he came from a powerful alchemy family, carrying a few healing holy medicines on him was all too normal.


    It was just that this kind of ��vanity�� made Chen Chang very disdainful.


    By the side, Bai Chen and Ning Tianping seriously could not listen anymore and was just about to refute with a few words but was stopped by Ye Yuan with a hand gesture.


    ��Master Chen Chang lectured well, this junior has learned my lesson. However, my family��s grown-up isn��t following by my side. I��m afraid that I��ll have to disappoint Master,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart that no matter how he explained, this old man probably would not believe it, so he could only go along with his words.

 Chapter 1920 - Obscure Medicinal Pill

    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Chen Chang��s face revealed a hint of pity.


    An alchemist capable of refining such a high-quality Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was absolutely an extremely formidable figure.


    Reaching his realm, being able to exchange pointers with such a character was much more important than an Earth Qilin.


    Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a nod, ��Lad, following such a formidable figure, you have to cultivate well! Being able to learn 10%-20% of his abilities is sufficient for you to benefit for life.��


    Ye Yuan��s attitude of acknowledging his fault made his impression of Ye Yuan become a little better.


    A fault confessed was half-redressed.


    It was just that he did not notice how odd the expressions of Bai Chen and Ning Tianping behind Ye Yuan were.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, ��Yes, Junior will definitely work doubly hard from today onwards. Then �� can this junior put away this Earth Qilin?��


    The corners of Chen Chang��s mouth twitched slightly. Waving his hand, he indicated for Ye Yuan to keep it.


    This Earth Qilin was too precious. It could not be bought just by having money.


    If not obtaining it this time,then no idea when he would have the chance to encounter it again next time.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous either, lightly flicking his sleeves, he put away the Earth Qilin.


    ��Lad, I wonder what��s the name of your family��s grown-up? Where are you from?�� Chen Chang clearly did not give up yet, wanting to inquire about Ye Yuan��s background.


    It was just that how could Ye Yuan go and make up a background. So he just brushed it off by saying, ��Master, my family repeatedly exhorted that I mustn��t reveal my background when traveling outside. Otherwise, I��ll be served with family punishment. I��m really sorry.��


    When Chen Chang heard that, he could only heave a sigh with a helpless look, turned around, and left.


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat kept the medicinal pill and said to Ye Yuan, ��Little Brother, although this middle-age wasn��t personally refined by you, it��s a great help to me. The value of your medicinal pill already far surpassed the Earth Qilin. Whatever conditions that need to be added on, feel free to speak up.��


    Originally, the value of a level nine difficulty rank five divine pill naturally far exceeded a rank five spirit medicine.


    It was just that an Earth Qilin was too rare. That was how the middle-aged man in the felt hat could hike the price on the spot, using it to exchange for a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill.


    Although he was a True God powerhouse, if really made him buy a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, even if he smashed his iron pots and pans to sell as scrap iron, he could not afford it either.


    A divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, even Chen Chang could not refine it, it could be imagined how valuable it was.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��No need, just a medicinal pill. It doesn��t count as much. Just take it as making a friend.��


    The middle-aged man in the felt hat was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so generous,


    But thinking about it, he also felt at ease.


    With Ye Yuan��s background, he probably completely did not care for that bit of compensation, right?


    ��Little Brother, I��ll become friends with you! This time, just take it as me owing you a favor. If you need any help from me, Huo Zhen, feel free to open your mouth.�� The middle-aged man in the felt hat cupped his fists, turned around, and left.


    ��


    Inside the Hundred Herb Gathering��s pill refining room, Bai Chen and Ning Tianping both had reluctant looks on their faces.


    Tong��er hugged Treasure Pig; a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across in his eyes.


    ��I think that that old punk was clearly looking for a way out, truly preposterous!�� Bai Chen said.


    ��That old man couldn��t refine the medicinal pill himself and yet, he still measured using the yardstick of a petty man, not believing that the medicinal pill was refined by you, what a joke! Ignorant!�� Ning Tianping said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not vying, is vying. Your own strength only belongs to yourself, no need for other people��s recognition. That moment when they witness your power, why would there be a need to provide any explanations?��


    Ning Tianping and Bai Chen��s pupils constricted, ruminating over Ye Yuan��s words.


    Even Tong��er also looked at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    He had lived for a long time and thought that he had long seen through the emptiness of the material world already but discovered that he was actually inferior to a child.


    Ye Yuan��s state of mind had long transcended worldliness already. It was also no wonder that he could have his present accomplishments.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tong��er and said, ��It��s also that you��re lucky, and it��s also considered that my luck is decent. All in all, the spirit medicines are already gathered. This medicinal pill can begin to be refined.��


    Tong��er said, ��No matter whether it succeeds in refining or not, I owe you a favor!��


    To an Empyrean powerhouse, becoming like Tong��er was clearly not reconciled to it.


    This feeling of powerlessness, no one would like it.


    Even if they gathered the spirit medicines, Tong��er also maintained a conservative attitude toward whether or not Ye Yuan could succeed in the pill refinement.


    It was naturally not that Tong��er did not believe in Ye Yuan��s strength. The Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill was indeed not an ordinary medicinal pill; the refining difficulty was tremendous.


    Even among level nine difficulty medicinal pills, it was also extremely difficult to refine.


    This kind of medicine belonged to the extremely obscure kind. Barely anyone in this world heard of it before, and no more than a handful of people knew how to refine.


    The spirit medicines used in this medicinal pill also belonged to those extremely obscure kinds.


    Obscurity represented that the usage was extremely limited.


    Never even heard of it before, how to refine it?


    This kind of obscure medicinal pill was a huge challenge to every alchemist.


    Forget about Ye Yuan, even when Tong��er himself was at his prime, he totally could not refine it as well.


    If not for Ye Yuan reaching grand completion Dao Realm, he also would not request for Ye Yuan to refine this medicinal pill.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You guys wait in the outer-room. I need to go into seclusion for a few days to understand the medicinal properties of these spirit medicines. After all, there��s no second chance.��


    When the few people arrived in the outer-room, Tong��er��s expression suddenly became nervous.


    ��Lord Tong��er, my lord taking action, what are you still worried about? Since I started following him, I��ve never seen a medicinal pill that he can��t refine!�� Seeing Tong��er��s nervous look, Ning Tianping found it rather funny as he said.


    Tong��er rolled his eyes and said huffily, ��What the hell do you know!��


    The weight of the Earth Qilin was only sufficient for Ye Yuan to refine once, there was no opportunity for a second attempt.


    Hence, Ye Yuan was extremely prudent as well.


    Tong��er understood the difficulty of refining. He naturally understood it even more so than the others.


    Being able to refine the level nine difficulty Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill did not mean being able to refine the similar difficulty Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill.


    Pill refinement was another form of cultivation.


    If say comprehending alchemy was inner-strength, then an understanding of pharmacology was external-strength[1].


    Only by cultivating inner and external together that one could achieve a high-quality medicinal pill.


    But the chances of Ironwood Ash, Blackheart Seaweed, Earth Qilin, these spirit medicines appearing, was far too low.


    Ye Yuan only had one chance. To what degree he could refine the medicinal pill, that would be determined on to what degree he could understand these spirit medicines.


    He sliced a very tiny piece from the spirit medicine, and carefully experienced the medicinal theory of these spirit medicines.


    This approach was extremely unilateral.


    Because each portion of the spirit medicine, the law fragments contained was different. Ye Yuan could only deduce the medicinal properties of the entire spirit medicine through this tiny piece.


    Then, he even had to deduce the entire pill refining process according to the pill formula.


    This process was complicated to the extreme.


    Even with Ye Yuan��s present soul force, he also felt that it was too much for him to bear.


    But he had no choice.


    Any more and it would affect the refinement of the medicinal pill.


    Furthermore, among these spirit medicines, there were half that Ye Yuan had never come into contact with before!


    Each kind needed him to go and experience it carefully.


    [1] A reference to wuxia, where inner-strength is basically chi/qi/true qi/true force, but superhuman level, not mountain destroying level.

 Chapter 1921 - Tong’er Apologizes

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heh, I don��t understand, but I know that His Excellency has never failed before! He might not be a match for a True God, but competing in pill refinement, no one can surpass him!��


    Hearing Tong��er��s words, Ning Tianping was also very disdainful.


    Although he knew that Tong��er was an Empyrean powerhouse, Tong��er��s attitude made him very displeased.


    Following Ye Yuan for a long time, Ning Tianping already had blind confidence in Ye Yuan.


    This was not his individual worship, but the confidence that was continuously established in his heart from the miracle after miracle that he saw being at Ye Yuan��s side.


    This kind of confidence was virtually unshakable.


    At least in alchemy, Ye Yuan had never failed before!


    No matter how difficult it was to refine a medicinal pill, reaching Ye Yuan��s hands, it was also accomplished with ease.


    Especially after breaking through to the Divine Lord Realm, Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength became more and more miraculous. It was naturally impossible for Ning Tianping to have any doubts.


    Tong��er looked at Ning Tianping like looking at an idiot and said coolly, ��Perhaps this Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill is his greatest challenge up to this point! I��m not saying that he can��t refine it, it��s just that �� he has a very high chance of failing.��


    ��Not possible!�� Ning Tianping returned two words sonorous and forcefully.


    Tong��er could not help choking when he heard it and said with a cold snort, ��Impervious to reason!��


    At this time, Xiao Feng suddenly spoke up, ��Senior Tong��er is right, maybe �� this shall be Younger Brother Ye��s greatest challenge up to this point! This Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill is different from the medicinal pills that he had encountered in the past.��


    Xiao Feng explained the special aspects of the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill for Ning Tianping and Bai Chen.


    He himself was an alchemist and was naturally clear about the knack involved.


    Listening to his explanation until the end, Ning Tianping��s and Bai Chen��s expressions also became solemn.


    ��Competing in pill refinement, could it be that this Empyrean doesn��t know more than you guys? Just a rank five divine pill, if Ye Yuan had the confidence of success, why would this Empyrean wait until he��s at grand completion Dao Realm before opening my mouth? Two ignorant brats!�� Tong��er said unhappily.


    Ning Tianping fell silent, but very soon, he lifted his head again and said to Tong��er, ��Either way, it��s impossible for His Excellency to fail, you just look properly!��


    Tong��er could not help choking when he heard this, and then he said with a cold snort, ��Hopelessly foolish!��


    ��


    In the blink of an eye, it was 30 over days, Ye Yuan did not come out all along.


    Ning Tianping finally realized that what Tong��er and Xiao Feng said was not exaggerating things to raise an alarm.


    He had never seen Ye Yuan spend such a long time on one medicinal pill before.


    Outside the door, Ning Tianping paced back and forth, appearing somewhat vexed.


    ��Stop walking around, my eyes are becoming dizzy thanks to you!�� Tong��er said unhappily.


    ��Humph! His Excellency is refining the pill for you, you��re actually not worried at all! If anything happens to His Excellency, I won��t let you off!�� Ning Tianping said with a cold snort.


    Creak!


    Right at this time, the door opened from inside. A weary to the extreme figure slowly walked out from inside.


    ��Your Excellency! Are �� Are you alright?�� Seeing Ye Yuan��s appearance, Ning Tianping nearly jumped up and hurriedly went forward to support.


    The current Ye Yuan��s two eyes were full of blood traces, his hair somewhat disheveled, his entire person like he had a great illness.


    In Ning Tianping��s impression, Ye Yuan was always calm and collected when refining pills, accomplishing with great ease. When had he become like this?


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said feebly, ��It��s just that the mental strength expenditure was too great. I��ll be fine after resting for a few days.��


    Tong��er stood up, his expression when looking at Ye Yuan involuntarily changed.


    ��Failed?��


    The Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill was passed down by the Bamboo Groove Void Realm��s forefather.


    For countless years, the Bamboo Groove Void Realm had once gathered spirit medicines several times. But up to this date, no one had successfully refined it before.


    Even a peak Seven-star Alchemy God that had once appeared also never succeeded before.


    Not that they could not refine a high-quality medicinal pill, but that they never succeeded in forming the pill before!


    Not even once!


    And this medicinal pill was merely just a rank five divine pill. The refining difficulty could be imagined.


    Hence, Tong��er actually did not harbor much hope in Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    A streak of flowing light streaked past, Tong��er reached his hand out to catch, a small bottle appeared in his hand.


    Immediately his expression solidified!


    Tong��er looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and said, ��You �� You actually really succeeded!��


    Ye Yuan��s face revealed a hint of a smile and said, ��Heh heh, this medicinal pill really has a kick, almost killing me! Honestly speaking, I��ve refined pills for so many years, this is the most tiring time! But �� succeeded by a fluke!��


    ��F-Fluke?�� Tong��er looked at Ye Yuan and said in incredible shock.


    He himself was an alchemist and naturally knew how hard on one��s mental strength it was to refine a medicinal pill.


    But Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength, he was too clear!


    Even if he found a Seven-star Alchemy God right now, in terms of refining a rank five divine pill, his strength might not be stronger than Ye Yuan.


    To be able to torment Ye Yuan until like this, it could be seen how much effort he expended for this medicinal pill!


    A wisp of divine sense sunk into the small bottle, Tong��er��s entire person was akin to being struck by lightning.


    Thud!


    ��Awoo! Awoo!��


    Treasure Pig fell to the ground and started crying out, indicating his displeasure.


    But Tong��er did not have any reaction at all. He was still in the midst of shock.


    ��V-Vast spirit divine pill! How �� How did you do it?�� Tong��er looked at Ye Yuan as if he was looking at a prehistoric behemoth.


    No one had ever refined this medicinal pill before. Even in the Heavenspan World, there probably wasn��t this pill formula at all.


    But, not only did Ye Yuan refine it, he even performed to an extremely high level, refining it into a vast spirit divine pill!


    Similarly level nine difficulty, the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill and Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, these two medicinal pills, completely could not be compared at all.


    The medicinal properties of those spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had no way of familiarizing at all. Ye Yuan could only deduce it bit by bit.


    Under such circumstances, being able to refine high-grade was already extremely remarkable.


    But Ye Yuan took out a perfect medicinal pill!


    Tong��er really did not know what words to use to describe the shock in his heart currently.


    Rather, it was Ning Tianping whose thoughts and feelings were not as strong as him, saying with a big laugh, ��Hahaha, what did I say? With His Excellency taking action, he definitely won��t fail! In alchemy, he��s undefeatable!��


    The current Ning Tianping was like a victor.


    In this one month, he was very worried about Ye Yuan, but his confidence in Ye Yuan had never wavered before.


    With Ye Yuan being successful, this fact proved that Ning Tianping was right!


    Tong��er opened his mouth, but nothing came out.


    At this moment, he suddenly discovered that his understanding of Ye Yuan was still so shallow.


    In this one month, he felt that Ning Tianping��s confidence in Ye Yuan was overly blind.


    But he discovered now that this was not the case.


    With Ye Yuan��s age, being able to achieve such horrifying accomplishments in alchemy, one could not use common sense to appraise him at all.


    Hence, Ning Tianping��s confidence might not have been blind worship.


    Not, not maybe, but definitely!


    Tong��er looked at Ning Tianping and let out a heavy sigh as he said, ��Alright, I admit that I was wrong! I underestimated Ye Yuan. His might doesn��t originate from his strength. This kid��s future accomplishments are unimaginable!��


    Ning Tianping was taken aback, this haughty Empyrean powerhouse actually apologized to him?

 Chapter 1922 - Darkpine Courtyard

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    This sleep, Ye Yuan slept very well, sleeping all the way for ten days and nights.


    To Deity Realm powerhouses, they already did not need sleep to recover their state.


    But this time, Ye Yuan��s mental strength was exhausted too greatly, and needed deep sleep before he could recover his state.


    On this day, Ye Yuan finally woke up. He discovered that a pair of large eyes were currently staring at him.


    A pig nose was currently pressed against his nose.


    ��Treasure Pig? Tong��er went into closed-seclusion?�� Ye Yuan came to a realization very quickly.


    ��Grunt! Grunt!��


    Treasure Pig nodded its head repeatedly. Ye Yuan had a revelation.


    ��Your Excellency, you finally woke up! Tong��er consumed the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill and already returned to the Purple Extreme Hall to go into a closed-seclusion.�� Ning Tianping said.


    These few days, Ning Tianping few people had always been keeping watch over Ye Yuan.


    Seeing him wake up at this time, they also let out a long sigh in relief.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said with a nod, ��Delayed for a very long time, it��s time to do proper business.��


    Xiao Feng��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��What do you want to do?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Isn��t it said that Empyrean Flutterfeather set up an Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, using alchemy battles to determine the rank of the alchemy god? Then let��s go take a look!��


    When Xiao Feng heard that, his eyes could not help lighting up. Slapping his thigh hard, he said, ��Man, I��m really stupid, why didn��t I think of this? With your strength, wouldn��t everyone still fight to cooperate with us when the time comes? This matter brooks no delay. Let��s quickly go over!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No rush! The pill refinement this time, I had some gains. Wait for me to sort it out. Tomorrow morning, we��ll go to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.��


    Meditating in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan really had many thoughts and feelings.


    What Tong��er said was right, the pill refinement this time was indeed the greatest challenge that he encountered in his life.


    Even when refining the Dao Defying Pill back then, it was also not as painful and exhausting as now.


    Ye Yuan spent more than 20 days to deduce the medicinal properties and to continuously compare the spirit medicines, finding errors and omissions and re-deducing.


    Deducing entirely the medicinal properties, Ye Yuan started deriving the pill formula.


    Just like that, one month��s time, Ye Yuan was immersed in extremely intense deductions.


    How could he not be tired?


    But he was extremely satisfied with the final results.


    To be able to refine the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill into vast spirit divine-grade, Ye Yuan himself also felt very accomplished.


    And this also made him have a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties of spirit medicines.


    The medicinal properties of spirit medicines did not exist in solitary. There were very deep connections intrinsically too. It was just that this kind of connection was too complicated. The deductions were naturally not as direct as directly comprehending them.


    But, after really deducing it, the benefits were naturally immense.


    Although this could not help Ye Yuan to break through to the Ancestor Realm, it consolidated his alchemy foundation.


    A night quietly passed.


    On the second day, Ye Yuan went out of the pill refining room, settled the bill, and left the Hundred Herb Gathering.


    The Hundred Herb Gathering��s pill refining room��s rent was extremely high. Renting the pill refining room for more than 40 days in a row, Ye Yuan also spent a considerable fee, making his flesh hurt.


    The party was currently walking on the streets when suddenly, a manservant-looking young man blocked Ye Yuan��s path.


    The manservant asked, ��May I ask if it��s Lord Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan was somewhat puzzled, but still nodded and said, ��That��s right, I��m Ye Yuan, looking for me for?��


    The manservant said, ��Just now, someone had me pass a word to you. If you want to see Elder Jiang Yuan, you can go to Linnan Street��s Darkpine Courtyard.��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his two eyes narrowed slightly and he said smilingly, ��You go back and tell him that I��m not interested.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought everyone and directly left.


    The moment this manservant spoke, Ye Yuan knew that this person must have been sent by Jiang Hua.


    Although everyone hoped to request an audience with Jiang Yuan back then inside the gatehouse, it might also be those people. But the greatest likelihood was still Jiang Hua.


    This Jiang Hua felt that he definitely could not find the connections, so he deliberately found someone to draw his attention, so as to make a move against him.


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart, Jiang Hua was bullying him depending on the latter being young, green, and inexperienced. Did he feel that using this kind of method could lure Ye Yuan to a remote place to dispose of?


    He was also looking down on him too much!


    Disregarding that he had seen through Jiang Hua��s thoughts, even if he did not see through, Ye Yuan also did not plan on going to ask Jiang Yuan again.


    A good man did not backtrack.


    Even if Ye Yuan found Springwind Hall to cooperate in the end, that would also be Jiang Yuan coming to beg him, and not him going to beg Jiang Yuan.


    ��


    At Darkpine Courtyard, when Qin Guan heard the manservant��s report, his brows could not help furrowing.


    ��Could it be that this punk doesn��t wish to request an audience with Elder Jiang Yuan?��


    Jiang Hua smiled coldly and said, ��This punk has some backbone! But him not coming doesn��t mean that I can��t take care of him! You go and make another trip, tell Ye Yuan in this manner, he��ll definitely follow you here!��


    Jiang Hua said a few sentences to the manservant, the manservant immediately received the order and left.


    Qin Guan listened by the side and could not help giving a thumbs up, praising, ��Heh, impressive! Indeed impressive! Younger Brother Jiang Hua is well-deserving of being the favorite in front of Family Head!��


    Jiang Hua smiled with narrowed eyes as he said, ��If I can��t even take care of a Celestial Deity Realm brat, I, this steward, would also have been alive in vain. Elder Brother, I��ll leave this place to you. Family Head still had me run some affairs. I��ll leave first.��


    Qin Guan smiled faintly and said, ��You go and work; leave this kind of trivial thing to me.��


    Not long after the manservant left, he indeed led Ye Yuan over.


    Furthermore, there was just Ye Yuan alone.


    Entering Darkpine Courtyard, Ye Yuan felt that he got caught in an array formation.


    It was just that this level of array formation, Ye Yuan did not place it in his sights at all.


    With his present spatial law strength, wanting to escape was not a difficult thing.


    Entering the courtyard, a middle-aged man was currently pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking himself.


    The manservant said respectfully, ��Master, Ye Yuan is brought over.��


    Qin Guan waved his hand, the manservant immediately left.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Qin Guan, he said, ��It was you who used Brother Xiao��s life to threaten me?��


    That manservant found Ye Yuan again and told Ye Yuan that Xiao Feng was Springwind Hall��s disciple.


    If he did not come to Darkpine Courtyard, then Xiao Feng would die very horribly!


    Indeed, with Jiang Hua��s status, dealing with a puny little low-level deacon was truly too easy.


    Even though he was just a measly steward.


    With Jiang Yuan��s power and influence, as long as Jiang Hua casually opened his mouth, he could doom Xiao Feng beyond redemption.


    Qin Guan looked at Ye Yuan and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Brat, indeed arrogant enough! Arriving at my place here, you actually still dare to talk like this?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Where��s Jiang Hua?��


    Qin Guan smiled and said, ��You offended Younger Brother Jiang Hua and should know that you��d have today��s outcome. Either you die, or Xiao Feng dies! Of course, since you came here, it shows that you��ve already made the choice.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Guan and said coolly, ��With just the likes of you?��


    Qin Guan drank another cup of wine and said with a smile, ��Already on your deathbed and you��re still being stubborn! If I can��t even take care of a puny little Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity, so many years of cultivation would also have been all for naught.��


    Done talking, his gaze turned cold, a horrifying surge of world power suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire courtyard inside.


    Qin Guan naturally did not dare to make a move on the streets, so he forced Ye Yuan into this Darkpine Courtyard in order to make it convenient to kill.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at an idiot, and said coolly, ��Originally wanted to dispose of Jiang Hua, this trouble, but since he isn��t around, then you can only blame that you��re unlucky.��

 Chapter 1923 - Bai Tong

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��I��m unlucky? You still haven��t figured out the situation now, right?��


    Likewise, Qin Guan used an expression like looking at an idiot to look at Ye Yuan.


    Could it be that this punk was a fool?


    A mere Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity actually dared to utter such wild ravings.


    No matter what, he was a True God Realm powerhouse too, could it be that he did not know the disparity between Celestial Deity Realm and True God Realm?


    ��The one who hasn��t figured out the situation is yourself!�� Ye Yuan responded with a sneer.


    Suddenly, an even more powerful undulation reverberated inside the courtyard, directly pushing Qin Guan��s world power back.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Qin Guan was caught by surprise and directly sent flying by this tremendous force, spewing out a large mouthful of blood.


    Beside Ye Yuan, a youth in fluttering white clothing appeared since no idea when.


    Qin Guan��s gaze revealed a look of astonishment as he cried out in shock, ��F-Fourth Firmament True God!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan also sized up this young man with vermilion lips and white teeth beside him curiously. He was truly beautiful until even girls would be jealous.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that after Tong��er grew up, he would actually be this appearance.


    Detecting Ye Yuan��s gaze, Tong��er could not help rolling his eyes as he said unhappily, ��What��s there to look at?��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��I even thought that you��d become an old geezer. I didn��t expect that you��re going to have this appearance! Tsk tsk, looks not bad.��


    Spending a long time with Tong��er, even though he knew that he was an Empyrean powerhouse, that childish appearance made people unable to give rise to awe and veneration toward him at all.


    Now, suddenly becoming a young man, Ye Yuan��s mentality similarly could not wrap itself around it.


    Tong��er��s expression flickered incessantly, and he said in a cold voice, ��In the future, you have to call me Lord Bai Tong! Otherwise, hmph hmph!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, ��Pfft, Lord �� Bai Tong? I �� I really can��t get used to it in this short while.��


    Bai Tong rolled his eyes again, he discovered that he could not awe this guy at all.


    However, him being able to recover to his current appearance was also all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    ��Forget it, just call me Brother Bai then! This time, it��s really all thanks to you. The recovery is much better than I imagined. Furthermore, thanks to you, when I return to boyhood from old age again in the future, I��ll directly recover to my current realm and don��t need to become that appearance before again.�� Bai Tong said with some excitement.


    His initial-most mental preparation was recovering to First Firmament True God.


    After all, this medicinal pill was too difficult to refine.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan actually refined vast spirit divine-grade in the end, the effects of recovery naturally far exceeded his expectations.


    Fourth Firmament True God, middle-stage True God, that strength was a totally different level compared to First Firmament True God.


    More importantly, what Ye Yuan refined was a vast spirit Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill. It restored part of the defects in his cultivation method, letting him have no need to become a kid without the strength to truss up a chicken when he returned to boyhood from old age again.


    About the medicinal effect of the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, Ye Yuan was also quite surprised.


    The person who could create such a heaven-defying medicinal pill, his strength was definitely impressive.


    It seemed like tigers were crouching and dragons were hiding in this world; one really should not look down on the heroes under the heavens!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then I��ll have to congratulate Brother Bai, but �� let��s take care of this trash first.��


    By the side, Qin Guan��s expression turned stiff. Kneeling down with a thud, he wailed, ��Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and affronted Your Excellency! I �� I beg Your Excellency to take this lowly one to be a fart and let this lowly one go!��


    Seeing the Bai Tong with an imposing aura, how could Qin Guan still have any desire to resist at all?


    Having a First Firmament True God go deal with a Fourth Firmament True God?


    Not unless his head was kicked by a donkey!


    Apart from begging for mercy, he seriously could not think of other ways.


    Currently, in his heart, he had long ��greeted�� Jiang Hua��s 18 generations of ancestors.


    This damn thing had clearly dug a pit for him to jump!


    When taking action, Jiang Hua did not tell him that a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse was actually following by Ye Yuan��s side!


    ��Let you go? If I didn��t have the strength to protect myself, would you have let me go today? Since you had the thought to kill people stirred, you��ll have to be prepared to be killed. Brother Bai, do it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Toward this Qin Guan, Ye Yuan naturally could not give rise to any pity.


    The other party was clearly here to kill Ye Yuan, and yet actually still hoped that Ye Yuan would show mercy and let him leave?


    Bai Tong nodded slightly when he heard this. Qin Guan did not see him take any complicated action; he just lightly pointed out a finger.


    Qin Guan only felt a white light gradually enlarge in his pupils.


    After that, there was no more after that.


    In front of Bai Tong, he could not even muster up divine essence.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan��s pupils also constricted as he said, ��Brother Bai is skillful! I really didn��t expect that not only is Brother Bai a Seven-star Alchemy God, your martial arts are also so formidable.��


    Bai Tong said with a proud look, ��You don��t think that only you know spatial law in this world, right?��


    The two exchanged a glance, both bursting into laughter.


    ��


    ��What did you say?! Qin Guan died? This �� How is this possible?�� Hearing the news of Qin Guan��s death, Jiang Hua almost jumped up.


    A True God Realm went to deal with a Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity Realm and actually died!


    This kind of thing was simply unheard of.


    ��T-This lowly one dare not deceive Lord Steward! This lowly one quietly waited for the outcome in the backyard but didn��t see Lord Qin Guan return for a long time. Mustering up my courage, I went into the frontcourt and discovered that Lord Qin Guan had already long died.��


    Ye Yuan was not someone who indiscriminately killed the innocent. That manservant was merely a Divine Lord Realm young man, obeying people��s orders. He naturally did not have the intention of exterminating once and for all.


    But the frontcourt had an array formation isolating. So he did not know what happened in the backyard.


    When he went to the frontcourt, it was long deserted already.


    Jiang Hua��s expression changed again and again. In his eyes, although Ye Yuan��s strength was decent, he was merely a youngster who came from an imperial city in the end. So what background could he have?


    To imperial city this level, True Gods were already existences that they looked up to.


    But who knew that Qin Guan, this True God Realm powerhouse, would die in his own courtyard without a sound just like that.


    One had to know, killing a True God Realm powerhouse and defeating a True God Realm powerhouse were two completely different concepts.


    With Qin Guan��s strength, unless it was a Third Firmament True God and above powerhouse, otherwise, it was simply impossible to let him not even have a chance to escape.


    After all, that was Qin Guan��s own territory!


    ��Could it be that a Third Firmament True God and above powerhouse is actually following by that brat��s side? This �� How is this possible?�� Jiang Hua did not quite dare to believe it.


    Right at this time, a servant walked in and said to Jiang Hua with cupped fists, ��Steward Jiang, Ye Yuan��s party already entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion!��


    Jiang Hua was taken back when he heard that and said, ��Alchemy Celestial Pavilion? What did they go to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion for? Right, this kid wanted to become famous overnight through the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion! Heh heh, no wonder he uttered wild ravings, saying to make Family Head go find him in person. It turns out that what he thought of was this method! It��s just that �� he��s too naive! Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s experts are as abundant as clouds. Does he, a mere Celestial Deity Realm brat, really think that he can stir up some waves?��

 Chapter 1924 - Silver Alchemy Celestial Alchemist

    ��Senior, I want to become an alchemy celestial alchemist and enter the Alchemy Battle Arena.��


    The old man in front of Ye Yuan was the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s examiner.


    For many years, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had a resounding reputation. Alchemy celestial alchemists, even the lowest grade copper alchemy celestial alchemist, their status outside were also much higher than ordinary alchemists.


    This was because alchemists that came out of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had all been through fight after fight. Those that charged out, their strength far surpassed ordinary alchemists.


    Hence, wanting to become an alchemy celestial alchemist naturally needed stringent checks.


    It was not that you could enter the Alchemy Battle Arena because you could refine medicinal pills.


    This old man in front of him was the examiner responsible for verifying the stand of alchemists.


    The old man looked at Ye Yuan and waved his hand and said, ��Lad, this place isn��t the place to play house, go away.��


    He saw that Ye Yuan was too young and felt that it was simply impossible to pass the test, and he naturally felt rather impatient.


    Ye Yuan��s age, possessing Seventh Firmament Celestial Deity strength, although it was rare, it also would not make people too astonished.


    But wanting to become a Five-star Alchemy God at his age, was extremely rare. As for whether or not he could pass the assessment, it was even more impossible.


    Even though this test was not some very profound thing, it was also not what everyone could pass.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior won��t test my strength?��


    The old man said, ��This old man has been in charge of this Alchemy Celestial Pavilion for many years and has seen before no idea how many alchemists. Whether or not you can pass the test, I��ll know at a glance.��


    This old man was an experienced Five-star Alchemy God himself, so his Alchemy Dao strength not weak.


    With Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s popularity, there were too many alchemists who wanted to enter the Alchemy Battle Arena. The alchemists that he had seen before were indeed many.


    As a result, he had long formed his own set of experiences already.


    Ye Yuan did not dispute this either. He just smiled and said, ��Then can Senior give Junior a chance, let Junior measure his own strength?��


    ��Brat, don��t waste our time, the alchemists that Elder Ping has seen before are more than the salt you��ve eaten. He already said that you��re out of the game, so there��s no chance for you.��


    ��Brat, your hair isn��t even fully grown yet. Do you know what��s called pill refinement?��


    ��Hahaha!��


    Everyone burst out laughing, full of disdain for Ye Yuan.


    Even if disciples from great alchemy families wanted to reach the strength to enter the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, they at least had to be three to five thousand years old too.


    At Ye Yuan��s age, it was simply impossible to have a chance.


    Elder Ping saw that Ye Yuan��s attitude was sincere, not arrogant like members of aristocratic families. Stroking his beard, he nodded and said, ��Forget it, give it a try!��


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed and said with clasped hands, ��Thank you very much, Elder Ping!��


    Elder Ping waved his hand and said, ��Don��t be in a hurry to thank me first. This divine fire is very wild, so don��t burn yourself.��


    The assessment was very simple, control the flame to refine pills.


    One should not look at how it was simple; many Five-star Alchemy Gods could not do it well.


    This flame was not an ordinary divine flame, but a fire without a master. It was very wild.


    Wanting to control it to refine pills had very high demands on the alchemist��s fire control.


    A cluster of turquoise flame trembled endlessly inside the brazier.


    ��Heh, in a while, look at how embarrassed this brat becomes!��


    ��The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire is notorious for being difficult to subdue. At his age, how can he possibly control an ownerless Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire?��


    ��This is called overestimating his own ability.��


    ��


    Those people waiting for the test felt that Ye Yuan was wasting time, all appearing very annoyed.


    Ye Yuan slowly came in front of the brazier and lightly pointed a finger out. Following that, that cluster of flame flew towards the medicinal cauldron extremely obediently.


    The entire process was natural and smooth. It did not pause in the slightest at all.


    The originally bored to death Elder Ping suddenly stood up from his seat, looking at Ye Yuan��s actions in shock.


    Inside the hall, it was dead silent, only seeing Ye Yuan��s actions skipping erratically.


    Following that, it was the pill refinement.


    That Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire was extremely obedient in Ye Yuan��s hands, and it actually faintly emitted howling sounds of a wolf.


    Inside the medicinal cauldron was a false pill, specifically used in alchemist assessments.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    ��


    Inside the medicinal cauldron, nine exploding sounds resounded in a row.


    ��Awoo!��


    A wolf��s howl transmitted over. The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire returned to the brazier once more, and actually somewhat had the intention of having not given full expression to its views.


    Bang!


    The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire that returned to the brazier actually flew out once more under the situation where no one was manipulating it.


    But it was blocked by the restriction power around the brazier.


    Everyone looked at this scene dumbfoundedly with astounded faces.


    ��Nine booms, this probably already has the strength of a silver alchemy celestial alchemist, right?��


    ��Also, that fire controlling art is truly transcendent!


    ��The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire actually wants to burst out of the restriction, that means �� could it be that it wants to have Ye Yuan subdue it?��


    ��


    Ye Yuan��s assessment was completed extremely quickly, merely several dozen breaths from start to end.


    But in these several dozen breaths, it let people see his power.


    Tempering the false pill, the number of detonating sounds given off was the assessment criteria.


    As long as it could give off a detonating sound, it was considered passing the test.


    But the detonating sounds only had at most nine, Ye Yuan actually made it emanate fully!


    Under normal circumstances, being able to reach nine booms already had the level of silver alchemy celestial alchemists.


    It was just that, people who came to take part in the alchemy celestial assessment rarely had people capable of doing it to this extent.


    Unless it was those major powers who had already been famous for a long time and had never participated in the alchemy celestial assessment before, would there be such a performance?


    But how old was Ye Yuan?


    When these people were a thousand over years old, they were still bitterly training basic skills under the whip of their masters!


    With this, it was truly astounding everyone with his skill!


    ��Elder Ping, I��m done with the assessment,�� Ye Yuan came in front of Elder Ping and said coolly.


    Elder Ping was startled, only then, coming back to his senses.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a bitter smile, ��This old man apologizes to you. This old man didn��t expect that there would actually be a time where I would make an error of judgment.��


    Everyone was incredibly shocked; Elder Ping actually apologized to this kid!


    Elder Ping was a gold alchemy celestial alchemist, he actually apologized to a junior.


    But thinking about it, they also felt at ease.


    Ye Yuan had such strength when he was so young, so his future accomplishments were limitless!


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Elder Ping is too serious! I wonder if this junior is counted as having passed the assessment?��


    ��Of course you passed!��


    As he spoke, Elder Ping fished out a silver-color token, passed it to Ye Yuan, and said, ��Nine booms, your strength already reached the standard of silver alchemy celestial alchemist. From today onward, you��re a silver alchemy celestial alchemist!��


    Ye Yuan received the token, feeling rather surprised. He did not expect that he actually directly advanced to silver alchemy celestial alchemist.


    He found out earlier that alchemists who passed the alchemy celestial assessment were just gradeless alchemists.


    They must go through a hundred, even hundreds of alchemy battles, before they could advance to copper alchemy celestial alchemist.


    Similarly, for copper alchemy celestial alchemists to want to advance to the silver level, they also had to experience many alchemy battles.


    This process tended to be several decades, several centuries, even several thousand or tens of thousands of years.


    Ye Yuan only guided according to the laws inside the medicinal cauldron and did his best, but did not think that he actually directly advanced to silver grade.

 Chapter 1925 - Silver Arena

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan put away the token and said with cupped fists, ��Many thanks, Elder Ping!��


    Elder Ping smiled and said, ��Good, good! Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! With your talent, likely in less than ten years, you��ll be able to reach gold alchemy celestial alchemist. Boy, after entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, you have to cultivate well!��


    Ye Yuan��s appearance gave Elder Ping a breathtaking feeling.


    Having such heaven-defying Alchemy Dao attainments at a young age, he would definitely be able to radiate splendor in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Elder Ping rest assured, I will.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    Those examinees looked at Ye Yuan with envious looks on their faces.


    This silver token, they had to strive for it for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.


    But he, Ye Yuan, directly got it!


    ��Next!�� Elder Ping withdrew his gaze and said coolly.


    Sun Jing slowly walked in front of the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire, currently secretly glad in his heart.


    ��The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire was awed by that brat just now, it will definitely be much easier for me to subdue it. Heh, this is an opportunity for me! Speaking of which, I still have to thank that kid.��


    The moment the restriction opened up, Sun Jin suddenly formed seals with both hands, attempting to directly suppress the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire.


    ��Awoo!��


    A wolf howl came over, that turquoise flame instantly transformed into a horrifying enormous wolf, pouncing over towards Sun Jing.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Sun Jing seemed to have been struck by a tremendous force, directly blasting him flying.


    In virtually an instant, his body was practically burned to a crisp, lying on the ground and wailing incessantly.


    Swoosh!


    The turquoise giant wolf turned into an afterimage, dashing over towards the depths of the hall.


    That direction was precisely the direction that Ye Yuan headed to!


    Elder Ping��s gaze turned sharp, his figure turning into a streak of lightning, catching up to the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire in virtually a blink of an eye.


    ��Wicked brute, where are you running!��


    Divine fires were spiritual, so this Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire was clearly not so easy to subdue.


    Seeing Elder Ping catch up, the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire actually rushed over toward Elder Ping.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Inside the hall, one person and one fire actually broke out into a great battle.


    The other people exchanged glances, looking at this scene in immense shock.


    ��This �� Just what��s going on here? Although the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire is hard to tame, it also won��t be so berserk!��


    ��It �� It would be chasing after that kid just now, right?��


    ��What in the world did that brat do, to actually be able to make the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire so crazed?��


    ��


    After a great battle, Elder Ping finally relied on his own powerful strength and captured the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire.


    Except, the captured Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire was still incomparably berserk, unable to control at all.


    Elder Ping was secretly astonished and said, ��This boy��s fire controlling art has already reached the acme of perfection! This Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire actually wants to chase after him to be tamed! Truly frightening!��


    The Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire was an extremely difficult to tame rank five divine fire. Ordinary Celestial Deity Realms simply could not subdue it, let alone talk about taming it.


    It was also precisely because of this that it would be used in evaluation standard.


    But Elder Ping did not expect that Ye Yuan only used the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire to take part in the assessment once and actually thoroughly subdued the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could take possession of it at any time.


    Elder Ping understood that this Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire would likely have no one capable of taming it anymore in the future.


    He waved his hand and said, ��Guards, bring away the Cloudheart Heavenly Wolf Fire. Today��s assessment ends here.��


    ��


    Silver Alchemy Battle Arena, yelling and shouting seethe inside, incomparably bustling.


    Not far away, two incomparably profound auras intertwined together on the stage, vying with each other, refusing to give in to the other in the slightest.


    ��Come on, Mu Daocheng!��


    ��Mu Daocheng is mighty!��


    ��


    Below the stage, cheering sounds were noisy like a seething cauldron.


    In the ring, the middle-aged daoist on the right-side was clearly a notch better.


    Very soon, his imposing momentum overpowered the other party.


    ��Condense!��


    It was only to see Mu Daocheng yelled out, the medicinal pill condensing and forming, accomplishing all these in one stroke.


    The other alchemist had a dispirited look. His medicinal pill already became a useless pill.


    Mu Daocheng said with a smug look, ��Huang Zhen, you��re still a hundred years too early to want to challenge me! Hahaha!��


    Huang Zhen looked at Mu Daocheng, let out a sigh, and slowly walked down the ring.


    Ye Yuan watched this scene rather interestedly. This style of alchemy battle, he really rarely saw it.


    Alchemy battles dreaded people disturbing the most. But this kind of alchemy battle arena was completely an open-style format.


    Not only would everyone��s cheering sounds not be isolated, but even the other party��s pill refinement also would not use array formation to isolate the view.


    Two people facing off was like the life and death fight between two mighty experts.


    The victor formed the pill.


    The loser ruined the pill!


    But Ye Yuan also saw through that these two alchemists�� strengths were indeed very formidable.


    Compared to those so-called Five-star Alchemy Gods outside, their strength was much stronger.


    Especially that Mu Daocheng, he already reached late-stage Initial Realm, his strength being extraordinary.


    Hearing those fervent yelling sounds, this Mu Daocheng clearly possessed very high popularity in the silver arena area.


    However, Ye Yuan thought about it and felt that this kind of alchemy battle style could accelerate the improvement of Alchemy Dao��s strength even more instead.


    Two people facing off and refining pills, auras meeting each other squarely, one could sense the other party��s Alchemy Dao undulations distinctly.


    Under such circumstances, even if one failed, it was also possible to learn many things from the other party.


    Moreover, under this kind of complicated environment, being able to successfully refine the medicinal pill had tremendous benefits to the alchemist themselves too.


    It was no wonder that alchemy gods who possessed the identity of alchemy celestial alchemist were extremely well-received and respected outside. Looking at it now, this Alchemy Celestial Pavilion was indeed extraordinary.


    ��Tsk tsk, another victory and it will be Mu Daocheng��s tenth successful time defending the ring! At that time, he��ll be able to obtain the gold token and he will become a gold alchemy celestial alchemist!��


    ��Really envious of him! I��ll probably never be able to advance to gold alchemy celestial alchemist in this lifetime!��


    ��


    Mu Daocheng was extremely proud of his success. He stood on the stage and said loudly, ��Who else dares to come up and challenge me? Who! Else!��


    The current Mu Daocheng was like a fighting rooster, imposing momentum reaching the pinnacle.


    But below the stage, no one dared to go up the stage.


    According to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s rules, as long as one won ten matches in a row, they could complete one arena defense.


    Completing ten arena defenses, one would be able to obtain a higher level token.


    That way, the status of the alchemist would undergo an earthshaking change.


    One had to know, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s alchemists were not just the Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s alchemists.


    Even alchemy gods from other Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas were all the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s alchemists.


    Under the accumulation of time, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s influence was actually already very profound and far-reaching.


    If one could obtain a higher level token, this would be a massive improvement to the alchemist��s reputation and prestige.


    This naturally drove people crazy.


    It was just that in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, wanting to advance was seriously far too difficult.


    With the accumulation of time, each alchemist that entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion were all not mediocre people.


    Wanting to win ten matches in a row was really very difficult.


    Moreover, one even needed ten consecutive victories before they could advance.


    And it was precisely because of this that the identity of an alchemist from Alchemy Celestial Pavilion was more valuable.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan leaped up lightly. Stepping into the ring, he looked at Mu Daocheng and said with a faint smile, ��Let me try.��

 Chapter 1926 - Throwing an Egg Against a Rock

    Everyone��s gazes were concentrated on that young figure.


    Very soon, they revealed mocking looks.


    When Mu Daocheng saw Ye Yuan, he laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, brat, you��re very unfamiliar! This place is the silver arena. You didn��t walk to the wrong arena, right?��


    Although the number of silver alchemy celestial alchemists was a lot, they frequently hung around in the silver arena. Everyone was very familiar with each other.


    Not only did Ye Yuan look unfamiliar, but he was also too young. Everyone��s first reaction was that he went to the wrong arena.


    How could there be such a young silver alchemy celestial alchemist?


    At one side, that judge with a deep gaze also spoke up at this time, ��Young man, this place is the silver arena. One must possess the silver token before they can come up.��


    Clearly, he did not believe that Ye Yuan was a silver alchemy celestial alchemist.


    Ye Yuan smiled and slowly took out the silver token that Elder Ping gave him. He threw it to the judge and said, ��This should be the silver token, right? Senior, please verify it.��


    The noise and bustling sound before and mocking voices abruptly stopped. What replaced it was silence.


    Such a young silver alchemist, they had never seen before!


    The judge received the token and used divine sense to check it. Sure enough, Ye Yuan was a newly promoted silver alchemy celestial alchemist.


    The old man looked toward Ye Yuan and said in surprise, ��Your silver token is newly issued, but I��ve never heard of you before. Could it be ����


    Such a young silver alchemy celestial alchemist, if he was promoted all the way, it was impossible that he had never heard of him at all.


    This showed that Ye Yuan might very likely have directly gotten the silver token.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Junior just passed the alchemy celestial assessment and became an alchemy celestial alchemist.��


    Murmur!


    ��Directly promoted to silver alchemy celestial alchemist! This brat reached nine detonations!��


    ��No way, right? The last time nine detonations appeared, it was still several hundred years ago, right?��


    ��Yeah, but those able to achieve nine detonations were normally all Six-star Alchemy Gods who entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion for the first time. Five-star Alchemy Gods, it��s unheard of!��


    ��


    Directly passing the alchemy celestial assessment and obtaining the silver token, this was an extremely seldom-seen thing.


    Everyone��s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan all underwent a change.


    Without a doubt, a new star was about to slowly rise in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    A hint of surprise also flashed across in that judge��s eyes. Returning the token to Ye Yuan, he said, ��The young ones are to be feared! Young ones are to be feared!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Now, I have the qualifications to challenge him, right?�� As he said this, Ye Yuan looked at Mu Daocheng��s direction.


    The judge smiled when he heard that and said, ��Heh heh, young man, you have a lot of potential, but you��re underestimating this silver arena too much! Exchanging blows with him right now, it doesn��t have any benefits to you.��


    ��Don��t, Elder Xin! I finally managed to have someone who delivered himself to the door. Your elderly self, don��t ruin my business! This brat can just nicely ensure that I get the gold token!�� The moment Mu Daocheng heard the judge��s words, he was indignant.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s silver token, outside of his shock, he was overjoyed.


    As long as he won one more match, he would be able to obtain the gold token and advance to the gold arena.


    Becoming a gold alchemy celestial alchemist, his reputation would have a massive elevation. He already hoped for it for many years.


    In the silver arena, wanting to successfully guard the ring ten times was not such an easy matter.


    Such a newcomer rookie was precisely his optimal choice for consecutive victories.


    In the silver arena, this sort of place, as long as you did not deliberately lose the alchemy battle, anyone could challenge at will.


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��No worries, just take it as training.��


    Hearing Ye Yuan said so, Mu Daocheng hurriedly went along with it and said, ��Elder Xin, you see, he agreed to it. This matter is settled like this!��


    Elder Xin gave Ye Yuan a glance, let out a sigh, and said, ��Alright, you guys begin then.��


    The moment Mu Daocheng heard, he was overjoyed and said, ��Haha, kid, I really thank you so much! Winning this match, I��ll be a gold alchemy celestial alchemist.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t need to be courteous. But if you want to win against me, it likely won��t be that easy.��


    Mu Daocheng laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, you think that by immediately getting a silver token, you��re invincible under the heavens? Let me tell you, each person here can practically all achieve nine detonations! Alchemy celestial alchemists are far stronger than you imagine. You, are still far from close!��


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Is that so? Begin then.��


    Elder Xin said coolly, ��The medicinal pill that the two of you have to refine is the Seasonal Rain Pill.��


    Below the stage, the people were all incredibly envious.


    No one could have expected that Mu Daocheng��s last battle actually ran into such a hothead.


    This way, Mu Daocheng got the gold token as easy as blowing off dust.


    This battle did not have the least bit of suspense at all.


    Alchemists who just entered the silver arena, their strength was actually very weak.


    Only after experiencing one defeat after another would they become strong.


    Ye Yuan had just arrived. So no one would think that he could be a match for the veteran powerhouse, Mu Daocheng.


    One had to know, Mu Daocheng already possessed the level of a gold alchemy celestial alchemist.


    With the alchemy battle starting, the winds and clouds sprung up!


    Mu Daocheng��s imposing momentum rose to the sky, crushing over toward Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    On the stage, it teemed with his soul force, appearing incomparably berserk.


    Bang!


    At virtually the first moment, the two people��s soul forces collided together fiercely.


    Except, compared to Mu Daocheng��s outrageous momentum, Ye Yuan��s appeared too feeble.


    ��Heh heh, kid, this will teach you a lesson! I��ll let you know that the silver arena isn��t so easy to enter!�� Mu Daocheng gave a loud laugh and immediately controlled his soul force to lash over.


    This kind of alchemy battle with a massive disparity in strength tended to determine the victor in the first round.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan lost for sure.


    ��Ugh ����


    Suddenly, a muffled groan came over, Mu Daocheng directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    Within the medicinal cauldron in front of him, a muffled bang similarly emitted. A burnt smell spread throughout the entire ring.


    Clearly, his furnace of medicinal pills was already invalidated.


    Elder Xin��s pupils constricted, his gaze revealing an astonished look.


    ��This �� What��s going on?��


    ��Mu Daocheng �� lost?��


    ��No way, right? What black magic did this brat cast? Mu Daocheng clearly took the absolute advantage! Why was he defeated in one exchange?��


    ��


    Below the stage, anxious and doubtful voices came over one after another.


    The results did not exceed one��s expectations, the victor was determined in one exchange.


    It was just that the victor was not Mu Daocheng, but it was Ye Yuan!


    On the stage, Ye Yuan took his time to refine the pill, as if he did not have the slightest clue about what happened just now.


    Mu Daocheng looked toward Ye Yuan, disbelief on his face as he muttered, ��I �� I actually lost?��


    Several breaths ago, he was still fired up with boundless enthusiasm, thinking that he definitely nailed the gold token.


    Who knew that he was defeated in a single exchange!


    He was the same as the rest, thinking that he won for sure.


    But when his soul force touched Ye Yuan��s, he discovered that Ye Yuan��s soul force was like a giant mountain; while he was just like a chicken egg.


    An egg colliding dashing against a giant mountain, the results went without saying.


    Throwing an egg against a rock was roughly talking about this, right?

 Chapter 1927 - Frenzied Straight Wins

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Mu Daocheng, what the hell is going on? Who clearly took the absolute upper-hand, why were you defeated instead!��


    Everyone looked at Mu Daocheng with baffled faces.


    Mu Daocheng had a bitter look as he said, ��Underestimated him too much! This kid��s soul force is incomparably compact. I assaulted him with soul force, and then I felt as if I was knocking onto a steel plate, injuring myself all at once. Miscalculated! If I had long known, I��d have competed in pill refinement with him honestly. That way, he��s definitely not my match!��


    Everyone came to a realization. Someone said, ��Looks like this kid definitely cultivated an extremely formidable divine soul art, his background is definitely extraordinary! Looks like when bumping into him in the future, we have to be more careful.��


    They did not doubt Mu Daocheng��s words, soul force being strong did not mean that pill refinement was definitely strong.


    Ye Yuan��s age, his pill refinement was definitely not their match.


    As long as they avoided the sharp edge, being victorious was definitely not hard.


    ��Condense!��


    Roughly an hour later, Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, successfully forming the pill.


    This Seasonal Rain Pill was merely a level five difficulty medicinal pill. It was too easy for the current Ye Yuan, it did not need to take much time at all.


    Elder Xin looked at Ye Yuan with a heated gaze as he said, ��Ye Yuan, open the furnace straight away!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and directly opened the furnace to retrieve the pill.


    The moment the medicinal cauldron opened, a medicinal fragrance assailed the nostrils, instantly suffusing the entire space.


    ��Smells so good!��


    ��Why would the Seasonal Rain Pill be so fragrant?��


    ��Just what grade is this Seasonal Rain Pill? Why would it smell so good?��


    ��


    The medicinal fragrance made people intoxicated, astonishing people. Everyone was all guessing the grade of this medicinal pill one after another.


    Ye Yuan made his move like lightning, directly sealing the medicinal pill into a small bottle.


    Elder Xin received the small bottle, his hand trembling slightly.


    He had long discerned that Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill was likely not ordinary. That was why he was anxious to know the grade of the medicinal pill.


    With a wisp of divine sense sunk inside, Elder Xin��s two eyes immediately became wide saucers, lifting his head and looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    Everyone��s gazes were gathered on Elder Xin. Seeing that his reaction was so big, they guessed one after another.


    But they were clearly in their hearts, the grade of this medicinal pill was likely at least divine-grade!


    ��Elder Xin, just what �� grade is this medicinal pill?�� Mu Daocheng could not resist asking.


    He suddenly discovered that he was too naive.


    Could properly refining pills beat Ye Yuan?


    Looking at Elder Xin��s reaction, he also knew that it was impossible.


    Except, even if he died, he had to understand how he died. He really wanted to know just how powerful his opponent was.


    Only then did Elder Xin abruptly startle awake and say, ��Ye Yuan, vast spirit Seasonal Rain Pill, win!��


    Murmur!


    Below the stage burst into an uproar, astonished voices sounding out like thunder.


    ��Vast spirit divine pill! This �� This is impossible!��


    ��Elder Xin, are you mistaken? How can a Five-star Alchemy God possibly refine a vast spirit divine pill?��


    ��Vast spirit divine pill, probably only powerhouses at the level of alchemy celestial can refine it, right?��


    ��


    Everyone��s first reaction was disbelief. But they were clear in their hearts that Elder Xin definitely would not ramble nonsense.


    This sort of thing could not be joked around.


    ��Impudent! Could it be that this old man would crack this kind of joke with you all, these younglings?�� Sure enough, Elder Xin was greatly enraged.


    Very quickly, those people shut up sensibly.


    Elder Xin waved his hand and said in a solemn voice, ��Now, Ye Yuan becomes the arena lord. Those who want to challenge him and go up the stage!��


    At this time, Elder Xin��s eyes when looking at Ye Yuan again already became different.


    Previously when he saw the silver token, he approved of Ye Yuan, had expectations, giving guidance toward a junior.


    But now, his eyes were full of astonishment.


    To alchemy celestial alchemists, the Seasonal Rain Pill was not considered a very difficult to refine medicinal pill. But vast spirit divine pills were not what ordinary people could refine.


    Everyone exchanged glances, but no one went up the ring.


    The impact that everything that happened previously brought to them was seriously too intense.


    Forget about the silver arena, even the gold arena, no one had refined vast spirit divine pills before at all too.


    Today, it actually appeared!


    Suddenly, a figure floated up, cupped his fists at Ye Yuan, and said, ��I��m Feng Jingyun. Brother Ye, please give pointers.��


    This person wore a silk headdress on his head. His attitude was very sincere.


    ��It��s Feng Qingyun! He��s the silver grade��s number one person! He actually went up to challenge Ye Yuan!��


    ��Ever since Feng Qingyun achieved silver, he has yet to taste defeat and has already succeeded in defending the arena nine times in a row.��


    ��There��s a show to watch now. Whether this brat is lucky or strong, Feng Qingyun can definitely probe it out.��


    ��


    The moment this Feng Qingyun went up the stage, it immediately caused a stir.


    He was the publicly acknowledged silver��s number one; his power was above Mu Daocheng.


    No one could have thought that he would actually take the initiative to challenge Ye Yuan.


    But it was also precisely so that this battle attracted even more attention.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Qingyun and said with cupped fists, ��Please give pointers!��


    With the lesson drawn from Mu Daocheng��s failure, Feng Qingyun was much more careful. He avoided Ye Yuan��s sharp edge and carefully refined his medicinal pill.


    And Ye Yuan also did not seem to have the intention of attacking him.


    But in the ring, the two people��s distance was very close. The two people��s auras also intersected unavoidably.


    But that short intersection made Feng Qingyun feel the vigorousness of facing the sea.


    Too strong!


    The pill refinement this time was Feng Qingyun��s most arduous refinement in history.


    But the tip of the iceberg that Ye Yuan displayed let him benefit endlessly.


    Finishing, Feng Qingyu was defeated without any surprises.


    While Ye Yuan refined a vast spirit divine pill once more!


    This time, no one doubted Ye Yuan��s strength anymore.


    Even if one ate dog shit, it was also impossible to refine vast spirit divine pills twice in a row.


    ��Thank you very much, Master Ye, for your guidance! This Feng is endlessly grateful!�� Feng Qingyun came in front of Ye Yuan and gave a respectful bow.


    Even his term of address underwent a massive change too.


    Brother Ye became Master!


    In this Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, those able to bear the title of master were not many.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Feng��s foundation is solid. Your future accomplishments are limitless! Giving pointers, I��m not worthy of such compliments.��


    Ye Yuan also spoke his mind, this Feng Qingyun��s strength was not much stronger than Mu Daocheng. But his foundation was far more solid compared to Mu Daocheng.


    In terms of potential, he would definitely walk further than Mu Daocheng.


    Feng Qingyun naturally repeatedly said that he dare not and hurriedly took his leave very soon.


    This alchemy battle with Ye Yuan let him benefit a great deal, and he was in a hurry to go into closed-seclusion.


    Next, the alchemy battles did not have much suspense anymore.


    Everyone understood that Ye Yuan��s strength was completely not at the level of silver.


    This place was not his stage.


    But it was also precisely because of this that some bold individuals still hoped to be able to exchange blows with Ye Yuan.


    This was a rare experience!


    Just like this, Ye Yuan swept across the whole way, winning in succession frenziedly.


    As long as it was Ye Yuan��s battle, it would progress very quickly.


    His pill refinement speed was incomparably strange, but the quality of the pill formed was abnormally high.


    Only using half a month��s time, he obtained 100 straight wins and obtained the gold token!


    Ye Yuan��s domineering rise also attracted the attention of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.

 Chapter 1928 - Alchemy Celestial Level Powerhouses Shocked

    The Alchemy Celestial Hall was the place where the top few heavyweights of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion discussed matters.


    Only master level alchemists who possessed the alchemy celestial designation had the qualifications to enter this place.


    Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s alchemists were divided into a total of six levels. They were respectively copper, silver, gold, darkviolet, blackscale, as well as the highest level alchemy celestial.


    Those possessing alchemy celestial title, each one was a peak Six-star Alchemy God.


    Furthermore, their strength far surpassed those in the same rank!


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had a total of 15 alchemy celestial alchemists. There were seven who resided in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion permanently.


    The other eight were all leviathans of a region, possessing tremendous rallying power.


    And these seven were the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s administrators.


    At this time, three alchemy celestial alchemists were currently in the great hall, sitting opposite facing each other.


    In the middle, a white-robed old man asked, ��About this Ye Yuan, how do you all view it?��


    That gray-robed old man on the left opened his mouth and said, ��Roughly 100 alchemy battles, this child refined more than 20 vast spirit divine pills, over 60 void spirit divine pills. There were only less than 10 purple spirit pills! This kind of strength is simply unheard of!��


    That middle-aged man in green clothing on the right nodded and said, ��This child��s strength is unfathomable! It��s just that the difficulty of the medicinal pills refined at the silver arena mostly isn��t high. As for just how powerful his strength is, we still need to make more observations.��


    The white-robed old man nodded and said, ��Indeed so! But in my view, his strength is most likely already sufficient to enter blackscale!��


    The other two nodded their heads in succession, clearly not having objections about this.


    Normally speaking, the vast majority of those who reached darkviolet alchemist were Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    Except, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s grouping of alchemists was not according to cultivation realms, it only relied on battle achievements.


    Among gold level, there were also some Six-star Alchemy Gods. But they did not reach darkviolet strength.


    Instead, it was some peak Five-star Alchemy Gods whose strength surpassed all others, overpowering Six-star Alchemy Gods instead.


    Normally speaking, Six-star Alchemy Gods should be stronger than Five-star Alchemy Gods. It was just that this sort of thing was not absolute.


    Such as, a Five-star Alchemy God could refine a divine-grade divine pill, but the Six-star Alchemy God could not.


    In contrast, it was clear that the Five-star Alchemy God had more potential.


    Once they broke through to Six-star, their strength would be much stronger than those ordinary Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    People who fought alchemy battles in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion and were able to reach peak gold level, each one was a strong competitor among the strong rivals, their strength could not be underestimated.


    The white-robed old man saying so clearly felt that with Ye Yuan��s strength; even if the opponents were middle-rank Six-star Alchemy Gods, they would also not be his match.


    The three people were currently discussing when another old man entered the hall.


    The old man said unwillingly, ��Chen Yu, sending someone to call me over so anxiously, what happened? Don��t you know that this old man is very busy lately?��


    The white-robed old man Chen Yu said, ��Heh, Chen Chang you old thing, you��re busy! These few days, a great event happened in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion!��


    The old man who came in was none other than precisely Master Chen Chang who fought for the Earth Qilin with Ye Yuan at the Hundred Herb Gathering.


    Chen Yu recounted Ye Yuan��s matters, Chen Chang��s expression became solemn.


    ��Hang on, you��re saying that he��s called Ye Yuan?��


    Chen Chang suddenly felt that Ye Yuan this name was very familiar as if he heard it somewhere before.


    Chen Yu nodded and said, ��That��s right. Speaking of which, this kid is really a freak! Only a thousand over years old and his Alchemy Dao strength is actually so horrifying!��


    Chen Chang��s entire body trembled, finally recalling this scene, His face was full of shock as he muttered, ��Impossible! This is impossible! How can it possibly be him?��


    Chen Yu asked curiously, ��Why? Have you heard of him before?��


    Chen Chang waved his hand and said, ��Shouldn��t be the same person! Forget it, I��ll go and make sure first!��


    Finished talking, his figure moved, leaving the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    ��


    Gold arena, bustling sounds were roaring, cheering sounds rising one after another.


    In a short few days, Ye Yuan already obtained 20 straight wins, taking down quite a few of the gold level heavyweights.


    It was also because of this that Ye Yuan gathered a loyal crowd of fans.


    On the ring, Ye Yuan was unmoving like a mountain, steady like a giant mountain; no one was able to shake his position at all.


    The one exchanging blows with him was a top five powerhouse among the gold alchemy celestial alchemists.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, he was like an elementary school student.


    In reality, ever since everyone knew Ye Yuan��s strength, the old arena��s powerhouses fell over each other in a bid to exchange blows with Ye Yuan.


    They naturally did not do it in order to win but to learn a little something from Ye Yuan.


    Exchanging blows with such a powerhouse could not be randomly encountered.


    And Ye Yuan��s arena matches also completely evolved to a teaching field already.


    Under Ye Yuan��s deliberate guidance, those gold alchemy celestial alchemists who had some comprehension ability had varying degrees of comprehension toward Alchemy Dao.


    This was a valuable fortune to them.


    The fierce fighting on the stage was currently ongoing when several figures walked into the gold alchemy battle arena.


    ��You guys, look, i-isn��t that Master Chen Chang?��


    ��There��s also Master Chen Yu! A few years back when he preached on Dao, I was fortunate enough to have listened to his teachings!��


    ��Goodness gracious, truly remarkable! Master Ye Yuan already attracted the attention of alchemy celestial level powerhouses!��


    ��


    There was a commotion in the crowd, several big shots showing together, this was a grand event that had never happened before.


    These people at the gold arena, any one of them that randomly went out would be a powerhouse whose fame shook a region.


    But in front of alchemy celestial powerhouses, they were completely not worth mentioning.


    Those were the truly powerful existences.


    Chen Chang walked into the venue. Seeing that young figure on the stage, his entire body could not help trembling, gaze fixed on that figure.


    ��What��s wrong, Brother Chen?�� Chen Yu asked curiously.


    Chen Chang��s brain was somewhat out of sorts like it exploded.


    ��This medicinal pill was refined by me,�� Ye Yuan��s words were still reverberating in his ears.


    At that time, Chen Chang felt that Ye Yuan was just deliberately lying in order to become famous.


    This lie was too lacking in skill.


    How could a Five-star Alchemy God possibly refine a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill?


    This sort of lie, even a child would not believe it, right?


    But now, looking at Ye Yuan��s refinement that lifted something heavy as if it were light, the natural and smooth technique, it was just like the air of a master!


    Ye Yuan could even refine a vast spirit divine pill, then refining a divine-grade level nine medicinal pill was also not impossible!


    Could it be that the Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was really refined by him?


    ��It��s really him!�� Chen Chang sucked in a deep breath and said in shock.


    Chen Yu was somewhat curious as he said, ��What in the world did this kid do, to make you so surprised?��


    Chen Chang briefly recounted the events that day. The few big shots were all extremely shocked.


    ��You��re saying that a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, he only used two hours plus and refined it? This �� How is this possible?�� Chen Yu said with a disbelieving look.


    Chen Chang shook his head and said, ��It��s also not necessarily refined by him. It might really have been refined by his family��s senior. After all, level five and six medicinal pills completely can��t be compared to level nine medicinal pills. It��s just that I didn��t expect that his Alchemy Dao strength is actually so strong! Just where did this boy pop out from?��

 Chapter 1929 - Telling Tales

    Everyone all thought that after Ye Yuan advanced to darkviolet level, this sort of domineering drive would ease up somewhat.


    Darkviolet alchemy celestial alchemists, the vast majority were Six-star Alchemy Gods. Furthermore, their strength far surpassed ordinary Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    For Ye Yuan to want to continue a winning streak in the darkviolet arena, it was naturally not that easy.


    However, Ye Yuan��s performance greatly exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    He overcame all difficulties in the way and had yet to lose a match.


    No matter how strong the opponent was, arriving in front of him, they were as obedient as a student.


    Six-star Alchemy Gods were no exception either.


    Following Ye Yuan��s winning streak, his reputation rose, becoming a figure at the height of popularity in the Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    Ye Yuan��s residence had people coming to pay a visit every day, coming and going in an endless stream.


    Jiang Manor, Jiang Hua was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.


    Ever since Ye Yuan entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, he naturally paid a lot of attention to Ye Yuan.


    From the initial-most disdain, it turned to shock, then to terror, and then despair, Jiang Hua��s mood grew heavier with each passing day.


    How could he have thought that a punk who came from an imperial city would actually stir up such a huge wave in Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital?


    ��Jiang Hua, prepare some gifts and make a trip to Joyful Aroma Residence together with me. Alchemy Celestial Pavilion this newly promoted darkviolet alchemist, Ye Yuan, will surely become a dazzling figure. Our Springwind Hall must forge good relations with him first,�� Jiang Yuan called Jiang Hua over and instructed.


    Jiang Hua��s heart thumped, his heart sinking to the bottom of the sea.


    The thing that he was most worried about happened.


    Back then, Ye Yuan had once crowed proud words when he left, saying to make Jiang Yuan go find him personally. At that time, Jiang Hua even scoffed in derision.


    Who could have thought that in a mere two short months, Jiang Yuan was actually really going to pay a visit in person?


    The Myriad Treasure Tower had a dozen over halls, each performing its own functions, responsible for all of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s transactions, the authority immense. The Springwind Hall was one of them.


    Jiang Yuan was skilled in management and extremely capable and experienced. So his status in Springwind Hall was rather high, taking on the post of elder.


    Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was most famous for medicinal pills and spirit medicine business. Springwind Hall naturally paid a lot of attention to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion too.


    Ye Yuan��s rapid rise was still in its startup phase currently. But with Jiang Yuan��s perception, he already became aware that Ye Yuan��s rise was unstoppable.


    Hence, before everyone noticed Ye Yuan this person yet, forging good relations with him might reap great benefits. This was clearly much more worth it than getting into contact with him after Ye Yuan became renowned far and wide, and also much easier.


    It was just that he did not think that his steward had long already offended Ye Yuan badly.


    ��That �� Family Head, although this Ye Yuan is formidable, he��s also merely a Five-star Alchemy God. It doesn��t merit you to personally pay a visit, right?�� Jiang Hua said meaningfully.


    Jiang Yuan smiled and said, ��What the hell do you know! Also don��t know where that Ye Yuan popped out from, his strength is frighteningly powerful. It��s said that he has already startled alchemy celestial level powerhouses. Furthermore, he��s met with no resistance at the darkviolet arena. Most likely, before long, he��ll become a blackscale alchemy celestial alchemist. Such a figure will surely become well-known in the world in the future. Making friends beforehand is greatly beneficial to me and the Springwind Hall.��


    Jiang Hua was shocked inwardly. He knew that Ye Yuan��s performance was outstanding in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, but he was not clear about the specific situation.


    With his identity, he could not come into contact with the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, such a high level.


    Hearing Jiang Yuan say so now, only then did he know how terrifying Ye Yuan was!


    Jiang Hua started to become afraid in his heart. With Ye Yuan��s present identity and status, even Family Head had to pay a visit in person.


    If Ye Yuan incited slightly, wanting to kill him was merely a matter of saying a word.


    ��So impressive? Looks like this Five-star Alchemy God truly has boundless prospects!�� Jiang Yuan was half-genuine and half-fake as he said in surprise.


    Jiang Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s of course! But the other halls have clearly not realized this yet, so we have to pick up speed!��


    Jiang Hua said, ��This lowly one will go and arrange it right away.��


    Finished talking, Jiang Hua turned around and left.


    The moment he turned around, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across in Jiang Hua��s eyes.


    ��No way, I can��t resign myself to death like this! What I can rely on currently is only Family Head. The Springwind Hall had great power and influence. As long as let Family Head and that punk form an enmity, I can definitely quell that punk to death by borrowing the Springwind Hall��s power and influence! Even if he becomes a blackscale alchemist, so what?��


    It was true that the status of a blackscale alchemist was extremely high, but each major hall was presided over by peak True God Realm powerhouses. They were existences on the same level as alchemy celestial alchemists.


    Blackscale alchemists were still a level weaker compared to them.


    Jiang Hua was also considered capable and experienced when doing things, preparing some top-grade gifts very quickly.


    Jiang Yuan was just about to set off when Jiang Hua said, ��Family Head, why not let this lowly one make a trip first.��


    Jiang Yuan said coolly, ��No need.��


    Jiang Hua said, ��Family Head, although that Ye Yuan is akin to the noonday sun, he��s still young in the end. Family Head is the Springwind Hall��s elder. As a matter of fact, you��re even a level higher than him. If he put on airs and doesn��t want to meet you, wouldn��t Family Head lose face? If this matter was to spread, how will Family Head keep a foothold in the Springwind Hall?��


    When Jiang Yuan heard that, his figure could not help pausing.


    He wielded great authority in the Springwind Hall. The people who wanted to watch him make a fool of himself were not few.


    In fact, Ye Yuan was merely a thousand over years old young lad, currently riding on the crest of success. He might really hold him in contempt.


    Jiang Hua��s words were very reasonable.


    Jiang Hua was just a servant, if he lost face, then he lost face, it was no big deal.


    Thinking up to this point, Jiang Yuan could not help feeling that Jiang Hua was loyal and devoted to him, thinking of his interests in all respects. So he was quite moved in his heart.


    ��May as well, then I��ll have to trouble you to make a trip,�� Jiang Yuan said.


    Jiang Hua was overjoyed in his heart, but he appeared very humble on the surface as he said, ��How can sharing Family Head��s burdens be troublesome.��


    ��


    Two hours later, Jiang Hua returned with a bloody nose and swollen face.


    When Jiang Yuan saw Jiang Hua��s miserable appearance, he said in surprise and anger, ��Jiang Hua, what��s going on?��


    The moment Jiang Hua saw Jiang Yuan, he could not help crying bitterly as he wailed, ��Oh, Family Head, it doesn��t matter that this lowly one was beaten until like this, but �� but that Ye Yuan seriously bullied people too far! Bullying people too far! This lowly one reported my name and offered up all the gifts. They did not even look and immediately threw the gifts out, and even said �� a puny little Springwind Hall��s elder is also worthy to meet him? Even if want to meet, it��s also the hall master coming in person! That Ye Yuan even said, even said ����


    Jiang Yuan��s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, ��Even said what?��


    Jiang Hua was rejoicing in his heart, but he had anguish on his face as he said, ��He even said that Family Head didn��t take a piss and look at the reflection either, who the hell does he think he is? Haven��t even figured out his own identity and want to request an audience with him! This lowly one argued a few words with him in my indignance, and he beat this lowly one until like this. Ouch!��


    Jiang Hua described vividly, the figure of an impetuous and arrogant youth who was intoxicated with success at a young age that appeared vividly on paper.


    Jiang Hua naturally would not go to Ye Yuan there. Either way, this sort of thing, Ye Yuan also would not publicize it everywhere himself too.


    He entered Joyful Aroma Residence and walked one round, found a remote place, and cast a secret art to hide in the space, and turned himself into this appearance.


    Returning now, he told tales relentlessly in front of Jiang Yuan.


    Sure enough, Jiang Yuan��s expression became darker and darker.


    He trusted Jiang Hua a lot, so how could he have thought that Jiang Hua had sinister motives?


    ��Good, very good! A puny little Springwind Hall elder! Heh heh!�� Jiang Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said.

 Chapter 1930 - I’ll Accept It!

    In the darkviolet arena, two auras were currently in the midst of fierce fighting.


    One of the auras was vast like the ocean, being boundless. But the other appeared extremely weak in front of it.


    However, that weak aura was steady like a monolith. No matter how the tide surged, it was unable to move it in the slightest too.


    The powerful one had sweat seeping out on his forehead, while the weak one was concentrating quietly; unmoving as a pine tree.


    ��Condense!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry; the pill formed!


    Li Danqing let out a sigh. Bowing toward Ye Yuan, he said, ��Many thanks for Brother Ye��s guidance. This Li candidly admits defeat.��


    This Li Danqing was the powerhouse ranked third in the darkviolet arena, a Six-star Alchemy God.


    But he was still defeated in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��I dare not say giving pointers; we��re just exchanging notes. Brother Li��s strength is formidable and already infinitely approaches Dao Realm. Just one more step and you��ll be able to leap over the dragon gate!��


    Mentioning this, a hint of joy flashed across in Li Danqing��s gaze, and he said smilingly, ��Getting Brother Ye��s guidance is just perfect. This Li had some comprehension and hope to be able to break through to the Dao Realm in one stroke this time!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then I��ll congratulate Brother Li in advance!��


    Winning this match, Ye Yuan already won 80 matches in a row at the darkviolet arena. He just needed to win another 20 matches and he could advance to blackscale.


    Ye Yuan��s winning streak momentum was simply unstoppable.


    Although these Six-star Alchemy Gods were much stronger than Five-star Alchemy Gods and their soul force also many times more powerful, they were still too weak to stand up to competition in front of Ye Yuan.


    This kind of pill battle prohibited directly using soul force to attack the other party. One could only use the momentum formed when refining their pill to affect the other party.


    Otherwise, with the soul force of Six-star Alchemy Gods, wanting to annihilate Five-star Alchemy Gods was simply too easy.


    Of course, with Ye Yuan��s means, even if the other party really used soul force to assault him, he also did not fear in the slightest.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl around, this sort of action could only be courting death.


    Ye Yuan succeeded in defending the arena and was just planning to leave when suddenly, a figure dashed up the stage.


    This was a middle-aged man dressed in black robes, looking at Ye Yuan with a sneering look on his heart.


    The middle-aged man in black robes said, ��You��re Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan did not recognize the other party, but he clearly did not come with good intentions. Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered with him and was directly going to go down the stage.


    The middle-aged man in black robes frowned, his figure moving, blocking in front of Ye Yuan as he said with a cold snort, ��I��m talking to you, are you deaf?��


    The judge frowned slightly and said, ��Yu Ying, what are you here at the darkviolet arena for? Are you trying to cause trouble? Don��t you forget the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s rules.��


    ��Yu Ying! Turns out that he��s Yu Ying!��


    ��Terrifying person! This is a super powerhouse ranked in the top five of the blackscale. It��s said that he reached the Dao Realm ten thousand years ago!��


    ��Looks like the arrival did not come with good intentions! With this, there��s a good show to watch.��


    ��


    The moment that judge opened his mouth, a commotion immediately broke out below the stage.


    Clearly, Yu Ying��s name was extremely resounding. These people had all heard of it before.


    It was just that blackscale alchemists were different from darkviolet. Each one of them was a big shot whose name shook a region, rarely showing face. Hence, the people who saw them were also very few.


    Now, that judge said Yu Ying��s name; they were naturally extremely shocked.


    It was just that they were very curious why Yu Ying would find trouble with Ye Yuan.


    Yu Ying said coolly, ��Wang Jian, none of your business! I naturally know the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s rules. No need for you to remind me.��


    Judge Wang Jian was similarly a blackscale alchemist, his status extremely high.


    Except, Wang Jian��s status in the blackscale level was clearly much worse compared to Yu Ying.


    Yu Ying��s gaze stared at Ye Yuan heatedly and said, ��Brat, heard that you look down on my Springwind Hall and said that my Springwind Hall��s elder isn��t even qualified to meet you?��


    Yu Ying was also Springwind Hall��s elder!


    Hearing Springwind Hall��s name, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly.


    He did not say such words before. Apart from Jiang Manor, he did not come into contact with the Springwind Hall��s people.


    Ye Yuan thought of Jiang Hua straight away. It was just that Jiang Hua was merely a measly little Jiang Manor��s steward, so how could he possibly invite a blackscale alchemist to come and deal with him?


    Most likely, the problem lied with Jiang Yuan!


    Very soon, Ye Yuan figured out the sequence of events clearly.


    It was just that he could not quite figure out why Jiang Yuan would be pushed around by a puny little steward.


    Seeing Ye Yuan not speak, Yu Ying was extremely irritated and said in a solemn voice, ��You think that by not speaking, you can smoke your way through today?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��If I say that I didn��t say before, would you believe?��


    Yu Ying smiled coldly and said, ��Coward who doesn��t dare to admit what he did! Just based on your bit of strength, you also dare to challenge my Springwind Hall?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Ying and said coolly, ��Alright, just take it as I provoked your Springwind Hall, so what then?��


    Ye Yuan knew that there was probably some misunderstanding involved. But this Yu Ying��s attitude made him very displeased.


    The other party clung to his view that he provoked the Springwind Hall and clearly did not give him the chance to explain. Then �� provoke away then!��


    A mere blackscale alchemist, he did not take him seriously yet.


    Yu Ying laughed loudly and said, ��What a conceited brat! Think that you won a few matches at the darkviolet arena and you��re very impressive? Let me tell you something; only by reaching the blackscale arena will you know how weak you are!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, ��Blackscale arena? In my eyes, it��s also merely thus!��


    Arrogant!


    Too arrogant!


    Even the audience below the stage were all stunned.


    Such overbearing words, Ye Yuan really dared to say it!


    Actually, ever since gold arena, Ye Yuan rarely went all out to refine pills.


    These alchemists all wanted to seek experience from him. Ye Yuan did not conceal his abilities either and would often guide these alchemists to refine pills.


    This way, the grade that he refined naturally would not be too high. It just basically maintained above divine-grade.


    It was just precisely because of this many people thought that when Ye Yuan refined high difficulty medicinal pills, he would not be as astonishing as before.


    Of course, his strength was still the strongest.


    Refining level six or seven difficulty medicinal pills, it was impossible for these darkviolet alchemists to refine divine-grade.


    Hence, at this time, Ye Yuan felt that Ye Yuan��s boast was bragged a little too big.


    Even Wang Jian��s brows also could not refrain from knitting tightly together.


    After all, he was a blackscale alchemist too.


    ��Haha! The blackscale arena is merely thus? Brat, you really dare to boast shamelessly! Since you look down on the blackscale arena, then let��s make a bet. How about it?�� Yu Ying said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Use whatever you can come up with, I��ll receive it.��


    ��Fine! You and I have an alchemy battle right now, if you lose, scram out of Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital for me, and you��re never to enter the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion again in this lifetime!�� Yu Ying said with a cold smile.


    ��If you lose?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    ��Me? There��s no way I��ll lose! If I lose, I��ll also scram out of Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, never to enter Alchemy Celestial Pavilion again in this lifetime!�� Yu Ying said without the slightest hesitation.


    The moment Wang Jian heard, he could not help turning pale with fright.


    These two people were rare talents, existences who were highly likely to enter the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion in the future and become Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders.


    Losing any one of them was a tremendous loss to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    ��No way! Everyone is an alchemy celestial alchemist! You mustn��t harm the harmonious spirit!�� Wang Jian said.


    But Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Okay, I��ll accept it!��

 Chapter 1931 - Fangs

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Currently, Ye Yuan and Yu Ying two people directly treated Wang Jian as air.


    Ye Yuan did not cause trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble either.


    1


    Since people bullied him to the doorstep, he naturally had no reason to shrink back.


    ��Heh, looking down on even blackscale, truly outrageously arrogant! I��ll let you take a look today at how strong blackscale is!�� Yu Ying said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Is that so? Then I��ll have to take a good look.��


    Below the stage, when Jiang Yuan master and servant were looking at this scene, they sneered coldly without ceasing.


    How strong Yu Ying was, they were very clear.


    Even level eight difficulty rank five divine pills, he had also once refined divine-grade before.


    Although Ye Yuan��s strength was great, reaching blackscale this level, he definitely reached the limit already.


    ��Heh, indeed a condescending fellow, this kind of people isn��t worthy of remaining in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion at all!�� Jiang Yuan said with a cold smile.


    After Jiang Hua was beaten, he found Yu Ying and requested him to take action to teach Ye Yuan a lesson.


    Yu Ying was very devout to the Springwind Hall. Jiang Yuan also looked after him very well, the two people��s relationship was very friendly.


    Jiang Yuan said those groundless words for Yu Ying to hear. He was naturally greatly enraged and immediately came over to find trouble with Ye Yuan.


    Now, Yu Ying goaded out Ye Yuan��s arrogance. When it landed in Jiang Yuan��s ears, he believed Jiang Hua��s words even more.


    Seeing Ye Yuan accept the bet, Jiang Hua was delighted to the extreme in his heart.


    ��Family Head, aren��t I right? This punk thinks nothing of anyone, let alone me, a mere steward.�� Jiang Hua said with an aggrieved look.


    Jiang Yuan nodded and said, ��Climbing on top of our heads, he��ll have to bear the consequences! I��ve already arranged for people to wait for him outside the city. As long as he leaves the city, he��ll definitely die without a doubt!��


    As Springwind Hall��s elder, Jiang Yuan was naturally not some softhearted and benevolent person.


    Ye Yuan hitting his steward was equivalent to hitting his face, how could he endure it?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan even insulted Springwind Hall along with him.


    Jiang Hua was overjoyed when he heard it. Clearly, he did not expect that Family Head actually handled things without missing a single detail.


    ��Many thanks, Family Head, for venting this frustration for me!�� Jiang Hua said excitedly.


    On the stage, the two people were already good to go. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.


    Before this, there had never been darkviolet alchemists who challenged blackscale alchemists.


    The disparity between the two was too great, there was no possibility of challenging at all.


    But today, Ye Yuan, this darkviolet, actually challenged a blackscale.


    Furthermore, Yu Ying was an extremely powerful existence among blackscale alchemists.


    ��Brat, open your eyes wide and take a look at what��s called a true Alchemy Dao powerhouse! You are still early! Today, I��ll have you scram out of the great imperial capital!�� Yu Ying said with a cold smile.


    Actually, before this, everyone��s estimation of Ye Yuan��s strength was blackscale.


    It was just that the strength difference of blackscale level alchemy powerhouses was tremendous too.


    The powerful existences among them entered Dao Realm many years ago and were not what ordinary people could imagine.


    To alchemy gods, Dao Realm was a watershed, another universe.


    It was just that Yu Ying did not know that Ye Yuan was already at the grand completion Dao Realm.


    ��Alright, enough rubbish, if bragging can refine pills, anyone can be an alchemist in this Heavenspan World,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yu Ying��s face was black as he said in a solemn voice, ��What a razor-tongued brat. During the alchemy battle, you have to be careful!��


    Yu Ying��s vast soul force suddenly erupted, giving people a hair-raising feeling.


    Entering a pill refining state, Yu Ying��s entire person still failed to show restraint, giving people an overbearing feeling.


    Very soon, a profound and inscrutable aura gradually rose around the medicinal cauldron.


    Bang!


    Yu Ying��s aura became more and more powerful, like a fierce tiger, rushing towards Ye Yuan��s territory; incomparably domineering.


    In the view of outsiders, Yu Ying wanted to forcibly occupy the entire ring, not giving Ye Yuan any leeway to survive.


    The Dao Realm Yu Ying, his imposing momentum was naturally greatly different from the opponents that Ye Yuan encountered.


    His impact force was more than a thousand times stronger than others.


    Under Yu Ying��s powerful aura, Ye Yuan appeared to be in a precarious situation.


    ��Indeed, it��s still too early for Ye Yuan to deal with blackscale alchemists!��


    ��This is the strength of blackscale level pinnacle powerhouses? Indeed ridiculously strong! Looks like Ye Yuan encountered his match this time.��


    ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s situation, people all sighed emotionally one after another.


    ��Brat, don��t you look down on blackscale? This is the true strength of blackscale! I want to see how you refine pills still!�� Outside of the pill refinement, Yu Ying still had leftover strength to talk with Ye Yuan.


    Under the interference of his powerful aura, ordinary people could not maintain their state of mind at all.


    Pill refinement did not allow the slightest error.


    Once interrupted, it was very easy to affect the outcome of the pill refinement.


    Yu Ying��s aura was like tidewater, scouring Ye Yuan��s aura wave after wave; incomparably domineering.


    This kind of alchemy battle was the clash of two people��s Dao.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes and said coolly, ��Just this bit of strength? Really disappoints me!��


    Yu Ying gave a cold laugh and was just about to refute when suddenly, his expression changed.


    Ye Yuan��s aura suddenly changed, an imposing momentum that was vast like the sea instantly pushed back.


    Originally, on this ring, it teemed with Yu Ying��s aura everywhere.


    But in a blink of an eye, it was retaliated by Ye Yuan.


    Yu Ying��s expression suddenly changed. How could he still care to speak? He used all of his methods, wanting to stop the retreat.


    But all of his actions were futile.


    Ye Yuan��s Chaos Heavenly Star Art went at full power, advancing irresistibly, crushing Yu Ying like sweeping away dead leaves.


    However, Yu Ying was a Dao Realm powerhouse in the end. Finally, at the last moment, he blocked Ye Yuan��s assault.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s faces changed.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan was akin to a god. That mysterious aura around him made people tremble.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Why did Ye Yuan suddenly become so strong?��


    ��Too inconceivable! Turns out �� Turns out that he concealed his strength all along!��


    ��Concealed strength my ass! It��s just that we were totally not qualified enough to make him use his full power!��


    ��


    Everyone was extremely shocked. The scene before their eyes was seriously too out of their expectations.


    All along, Ye Yuan��s alchemy battles appeared very cordial. He had never taken the initiative to attack others before.


    Being low-profile for a long time, everyone thought that his strength merely stopped here.


    But today, Yu Ying was overbearing, finally triggering Ye Yuan��s fury, making him bare his ferocious fangs.


    He went all out!


    The Ye Yuan who spared no effort was actually terrifyingly powerful!


    The current Yu Ying was deathly pale, hands and feet all in confusion. He was already thrown into confusion.


    Under Ye Yuan��s dominance, his aura was suppressed to within a radius of ten feet, unable to break through anymore.


    ��Not bad, at least you have some skill. It��s just that you��re too weak!��


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth, another wave of fierce attack lashed over.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Yu Ying could not withstand it anymore, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.


    His furnace of medicinal pills also thoroughly became useless pills.


    Yu Ying looked at Ye Yuan, incomparably shocked.


    Lost?


    He was actually defeated!


    He, a dignified middle-rank Six-star Alchemy God, an apex existence among blackscale alchemists, actually lost to a Five-star Alchemy God?


    Yu Ying felt like he was dreaming.

 Chapter 1932 - Making an Apology

    Wang Jian looked at the small medicinal bottle in his hand, being shocked speechless.


    ��Vast spirit divine pill! This �� How is this possible? This is a level eight difficulty Crimson Fire Nine Brilliance Pill!��


    The moment these words came out, the whole crowd was amazed.


    Before this, Ye Yuan had once refined vast spirit divine pills. It was just that after arriving at the darkviolet arena, he rarely refined vast spirit divine pills anymore. Even void spirit was seldom refined.


    Everyone thought that this was because the difficulty of the medicinal pills grew, Ye Yuan��s strength was no longer sufficient to refine it anymore.


    Only now did they know that turns out they all thought wrongly.


    A big mistake!


    When Ye Yuan exchanged blows with them, he did not even use 30% of his strength.


    He was playing around!


    Level eight difficulty vast spirit divine pill, what kind of concept was that?


    This kind of strength was sufficient to sweep across blackscale level powerhouses.


    Blackscale level powerhouses, forget about vast spirit divine pill, even purple spirit divine pills had to depend on luck too.


    But Ye Yuan refined a vast spirit divine pill directly.


    This disparity was too great!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was already equipped with the strength to become an alchemy celestial level powerhouse?


    Thinking up to here, everyone was filled with shock.


    Yu Ying looked at this scene in a daze. Until now, he was unable to believe it.


    He lost, defeated very thoroughly.


    In merely several dozen breaths from start to end, he thoroughly fell apart under Ye Yuan��s tidewater-like offensive.


    But Ye Yuan refined a vast spirit divine pill!


    This kind of strength was a summit that was far beyond his reach for life.


    Ye Yuan slowly came before Yu Ying and said coolly, ��Master, please.��


    Yu Ying��s entire body trembled, the expression on his face changing again and again.


    The reason why he made this bet was that he felt that he would not lose.


    But the result was that he was defeated.


    Not stepping into Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital in this lifetime, the consequence was too severe to him.


    His prospects were great, with hopes of entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    But now, everything turned into bubbles.


    Seeing that Yu Ying did not react, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Lost and still want to renege, is this Springwind Hall��s style?��


    Yu Ying was still silent. It was just that the muscles on his face were twitching. Clearly, he was struggling greatly in his heart.


    Going back on his word in front of so many people, how did he still have face to meet people in the future in this Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital?


    But making him leave Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, he was unwilling too.


    ��Young man, must you compel people like this?�� Just as it was awkward, a figure slowly walked out, going up the stage.


    Yu Ying��s expression changed, hurriedly bowing as he said, ��Hall Master! I ����


    Ye Yuan sized up this fatty in luxurious clothing. This attire was just like a tycoon or local tyrant.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he was actually the Springwind Hall��s hall master.


    This fatty gave Ye Yuan an unfathomable feeling.


    ��Compelling people? Heh, this show today, everyone saw it. Just who is being overbearing, I believe that everyone has a score in their hearts,�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    The fatty had a face full of flesh as he smiled and said, ��Elder Yu won��t come and find trouble with you without rhyme or reason. This matter has to have a cause, right?��


    Yu Ying snorted coldly and said, ��This boy relies on that his talent that surpasses people and so he doesn��t pay any attention to people. His words even insult my Springwind Hall! As Springwind Hall��s elder, how can I endure it?��


    The fatty said, ��You heard it too, my Springwind Hall is also a major hall of the Myriad Treasure Tower no matter what. Little Brother, you insulting like so, probably isn��t appropriate, right?��


    ��Insult the Springwind Hall? Heh, you guys want to chase this Ye out of the great imperial capital just based on a one-sided account, truly a mighty show of power! Elder Jiang Yuan, you��re also here right? Why don��t you reveal yourself?�� Ye Yuan suddenly said in a clear voice.


    The moment these words came out, the expression of the Jiang Hua beside Jiang Yuan changed abruptly.


    But Jiang Yuan gave a cold snort, figure drifting out.


    Facing Ye Yuan, Jiang Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, I heard that you shot to fame in the darkviolet arena and so I sent a subordinate to offer up lavish gifts, wanting to make acquaintances. But you injured him severely and even insulted my Springwind Hall with words, where��s the reasoning?��


    Springwind Hall��s three big shots standing in sharp opposition to Ye Yuan currently, it also caused a stir.


    Although Ye Yuan��s talent was outstanding, his strength extremely formidable, in this matter, it seemed that it was really Ye Yuan��s fault.


    Below the stage, gesturing and pointing at Ye Yuan could not be helped.


    But Ye Yuan was unmoved and said coolly, ��Elder Jiang Yuan, the servant that you spoke of is Jiang Hua, right?��


    Jiang Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Of course!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then �� where is he right now?��


    ��Heh, you still dare to challenge face to face? Then I��ll let everybody take a look at that haughty visage of yours! Jiang Hua!�� Jiang Yuan gave a cold snort and shouted.


    But nobody answered.


    Jiang Yuan��s brows furrowed and he shouted once more, ��Jiang Hua!��


    No one answered still!


    Jiang Yuan��s heart thumped, secretly thinking that it was not good.


    He still wanted to shout again, but was interrupted by Ye Yuan who said, ��No need to shout anymore, he definitely slipped away already.��


    The expressions of the three Springwind Hall big shots changed at the same time. With this, they finally knew that the matter was not that simple.


    ��This �� What��s going on here?�� Jiang Yuan was somewhat thrown into a panic. He faintly felt that something was amiss.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Of course he doesn��t dare to come out and confront face to face. This matter, as long as you and I meet, he��ll have nowhere to hide. Elder Jiang, you, an exalted Springwind Hall elder, was actually wrapped around a servant��s little finger, and even caused such a big scene, truly laughable!��


    That hall master��s expression also changed slightly, knowing that they might really have been tricked by someone today. Frowning, he asked, ��Little Friend Ye, what in the world is going on?��


    Ye Yuan did not hide it either, roughly narrating the situation of going to the Jiang Manor that day, making the three people��s faces change abruptly.


    ��It��s also very simple to want to prove this matter, as long as Elder Jiang goes to the gatehouse to inquire about it, I believe that it will be clear at a glance. As for saying that I injured him and insulted the Springwind Hall, there was no such thing. Because since that day, I never saw him again,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Jiang Yuan��s knuckles cracked from clenching, his jaws tightly clenched. Clearly, he was already enraged to the extreme.


    He did not expect that he, a dignified hall elder, actually became a blade in a servant��s hand.


    And this blade did not just slash himself, it even wounded the Springwind Hall.


    Today, even Hall Master came forward in person, Springwind Hall could be said to have lost face all the way to their granny��s house.


    He wished to slice and dice Jiang Hua up right now.


    Yu Ying��s expression was similarly livid. He suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Since that��s the case, why did you admit it readily?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��If I said it back then, would you believe?��


    Yu Ying could not help choking when he heard that, only then recalling that Ye Yuan had indeed asked him before, but he shoved it back readily.


    Even if Ye Yuan explained, he would not believe it at all either. He would only think that Ye Yuan was denying it.


    About this, Ye Yuan was naturally well aware of it, so he completely could not be bothered to explain too.


    When explaining without strength, everything was feeble.


    Strength was the king��s path. He made Yu Ying submit, then came forward to explain. The persuasiveness was naturally much stronger.


    At this time, the hall master suddenly cupped his fists at Ye Yuan and said, ��Little Friend Ye, this matter was all my Springwind Hall��s fault, I apologize to you on behalf of Elder Yu and Elder Jiang!��

 Chapter 1933 - Entire City Shocked

    ��Hall Master Mu Feng actually apologized to Ye Yuan!��


    ��Truly remarkable! Hall Master Mu Feng is a peak True God Realm peerless powerhouse, and yet he actually apologized to a Celestial Deity Realm junior!��


    ��What the hell do you know! Ye Yuan utterly defeated Yu Ying, his strength can likely enter alchemy celestial class already. That��s a figure on the same level as Hall Master Mu Feng! Such a figure, it��s not good for Hall Master Mu Feng to offend either. Let alone that this matter was Springwind Hall��s fault in the first place.��


    ��


    The hall master��s action caused a stir in the crowd.


    Mu Feng��s position was at that pinnacle-most level in Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital. Other people could not even meet him.


    If it were others, even if it was the Springwind Hall��s fault, it was also impossible for him to lower his head and admit fault.


    But who knew that he actually admitted fault to a Celestial Deity Realm junior?


    ��Hall Master ����


    Yu Ying and Jiang Yuan two people turned pale with fright and were just about to speak, but they were stopped by Mu Feng with a gesture.


    The two people had ashamed faces, hanging their heads in shame.


    The mess was caused by them but needed Hall Master to clean up their mess.


    Ye Yuan looked at the fatty and said with a smile, ��Whether Elder Yu leaves or not isn��t important to me. But Springwind Hall��s overbearingness, this Ye has had a taste of it. Since Lord Hall Master personally spoke up today, this Ye naturally doesn��t have the reason to pester endlessly. This matter ends here.��


    Ye Yuan knew his limitations, he was merely a Celestial Deity Realm junior in the end.


    Mu Feng made an apology to him in front of so many people, he naturally could not possibly latch onto Yu Ying and not let go.


    It was just that he already had bad blood toward Springwind Hall in his heart. Regarding Mu Feng��s show of goodwill, he did not buy it.


    This matter also merely stopped here.


    Toward Springwind Hall, Ye Yuan felt disinclined to have any favorable impression.


    Regardless of whether it was Jiang Hua or Yu Ying, the impression left on Ye Yuan was really too deep.


    The hall master was still all smiles, seemingly taking no notice of Ye Yuan��s attitude as he said smilingly, ��Little Friend Ye is broad-minded, Springwind Hall is endlessly grateful. Elder Yu, Elder Jiang, why haven��t you thanked Little Friend Ye?��


    When the two heard that, they hurriedly gave a bow.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly, considered to have answered.


    No one could have expected that a huge conflict was resolved just like that.


    Let alone did they imagine that a colossal Springwind Hall actually apologized to a Celestial Deity Realm!


    Ye Yuan and Yu Ying��s battle spread throughout the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion at the fastest speed. It even spread throughout Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    After that, Ye Yuan��s background was already dug out.


    The entire city was shocked!


    Previously, there were many conjectures about Ye Yuan.


    Some said that he came from some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, some said that he came from a reclusive great family. Some even said that he was linked in many ways to Medicine Ancestor.


    It was just that no one thought that Ye Yuan merely came from a measly little imperial city.


    Digging further, he even only came out of a tiny little county!


    An alchemist without the slightest background only used a short thousand over years to one-shot a blackscale alchemist. This talent simply startled heaven and earth and even made gods and ghosts weep.


    For some time, Ye Yuan became the target that countless alchemists looked up to.


    In the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, several alchemy celestial class powerhouses were similarly incomparably shocked.


    Especially Chen Chang, he already did not know what kind of words to use to describe the shock in his heart.


    ��Could it be that that Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill was really refined by him? A Five-star Alchemy God refining a divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, this �� How is this possible?�� Chen Chang felt that his brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    Although there were faintly some guesses previously, he actually did not really believe it.


    Firstly, Ye Yuan��s performance in the darkviolet arena gradually leveled out. Secondly, this sort of thing was too fantastical.


    But Ye Yuan refined a level eight medicinal pill now, and he even actually refined a vast spirit divine-grade. Then reaching divine-grade for level nine difficulty did not seem to be something hard to comprehend.


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Chen Yu��s gaze as he said, ��In that case, he already has the qualifications to enter the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion! Most likely, in regards to the refinement of rank five divine pills, we��re not a match for him!��


    When the few people heard that, they all exchanged glances.


    Divine-grade Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, which of them could refine it in one stroke?


    Unless it was like a blind cat bumping into a dead rat, otherwise, there was no chance at all.


    But Ye Yuan refined one!


    A Five-star Alchemy Celestial Pavilion entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, they felt that it was very strange no matter how they thought about it.


    Chen Chang was speechless. Recalling back then at the Hundred Herb Gathering, he even urged Ye Yuan with sincere words and earnest wishes, it was really laughable to the extreme.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan did not have the impulsiveness that he should have at this age, but appeared extremely modest instead.


    If it were a young man who had Ye Yuan��s talent being wronged by someone who said that the medicinal pill was not refined by him, they would have long exploded.


    But Ye Yuan did not!


    Not only did he not, he even accepted his suggestion very humbly.


    If Ye Yuan confronted him back then and refined pills in front of everyone, then his old face would really have nowhere to put.


    Recalling it now, Chen Chang was actually full of gratitude and admiration towards Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Young in age, but had such breadth of mind, this was not what ordinary people could do.


    ��Huhu, Alchemy Celestial Pavilion hasn��t added new members in 100 thousand years already, right? It��s also time that a new member joins. Ye Yuan entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion is absolutely an excellent thing to us and to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion!�� Chen Chang said.


    Chen Yu also nodded and said, ��This boy��s future prospects are limitless. Him joining the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion will only make the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s reputation grow.��


    ��


    Thud!


    Jiang Yuan slightly used strength, Jiang Hua knelt in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, I��m really sorry about it! It was this Jiang who failed in disciplining and almost caused a catastrophe. Today, I brought this scoundrel in front of you to await your sentencing!�� Jiang Yuan cupped his fists and said to Ye Yuan.


    That day, after Jiang Hua left the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, he wanted to slink off.


    It was just a pity that the Springwind Hall��s power and influence were too great. If they really mobilized the whole hall��s strength to capture a Celestial Deity Realm, how could there be a chance for him to escape?


    Several days later, Jiang Hua was captured in a commoner��s house.


    Today, Mu Feng and Jiang Yuan escorted Jiang Hua to Joyful Aroma Residence, delivering him in front of Ye Yuan.


    Jiang Hua��s eyes were full of despair. He crawled over towards Ye Yuan and kowtowed repeatedly as he said, ��Lord Ye Yuan, spare me! It was all this lowly one who had eyes but couldn��t see! It was all this lowly one who had eyes but couldn��t see!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Hua and said coolly, ��That day, at the gatehouse, it was originally not a major issue that you blocked me outside the door. If you don��t let me meet Elder Jiang, then I��ll use my own means to meet Elder Jiang. But you never should have made people go and kill me. Since you had killing intent aroused, that��s a situation where one of us has to die. How do you want me to spare you?��


    When Jiang Hua heard that, he said with a look of despair, ��Lord Ye Yuan, this lowly one knows his mistake! This lowly one really knows his mistake! I beg you to spare this lowly one!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said to Jiang Yuan indifferently, ��Elder Jiang, you brought the person over, do with him as you will.��


    Jiang Yuan also hated Jiang Hua to the bones and said in a cold voice, ��Jiang Hua, I treated you well for so many years, but who knew that you actually repaid kindness with ingratitude! You were so malicious in your motives, nearly causing me to be doomed eternally! Today, if I don��t kill you, it��s hard to dispel this hatred!��


    Jiang Hua still wanted to say something when Jiang Yuan smacked a palm toward his head, striking him dead.

 Chapter 1934 - Springwind Hall’s Methods

    ��Younger Brother Ye, this matter was all my fault. This Jiang apologizes to you again here. I know that killing this damn thing isn��t sufficient to appease Younger Brother Ye��s wrath either, and so I specially brought some gifts as compensation.��


    As he said, Jiang Yuan clapped his hands. Several servants carried a big pile of things up.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, this is the list of gifts. Please kindly accept them.��


    As he said, Jiang Yuan handed over a long red list. Looking at the appearance, there were probably no less than a hundred items on it.


    When Ning Tianping saw Ye Yuan nod his head, he went forward to receive the list.


    Sweeping his gaze through, he could not help being flabbergasted.


    Terrific fellow, this guy, was called he who had wealth speaks louder than others.


    The gifts on the list, not one was not a treasure, worth several cities.


    Ning Tianping marveled at Springwind Hall��s extravagance in his heart. Of course, he marveled even more at his own lord��s impressiveness.


    Such a major hall like the Springwind Hall actually rushed to come and apologize.


    Putting aside killing Jiang Hua, they even compensated with so many things.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Then this Ye will thank Elder Jiang.��


    Jiang Yuan hurriedly said, ��Not at all! This Jiang still has to thank Younger Brother Ye for being magnanimous and letting bygones be bygones!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Alright, this matter ends here, you and I are squared. Hall Master Mu, Elder Jiang, please!��


    Although Ye Yuan had not entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion yet, everyone knew that this was already a sure bet.


    The status of an alchemy celestial elder was a very special influence above that of the various major hall masters.


    Hence, Ye Yuan had this confidence now.


    The current Ye Yuan already did not need to cooperate with Springwind Hall anymore.


    In reality, the hall masters of Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s other three major Myriad Treasure Tower halls already sent people to get into contact with Ye Yuan.


    Not just the three major halls, some other major forces also racked their brains, wanting to work together with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had long let out the news. With his current identity, the forces that wanted to cooperate with him could be easily found. He naturally had no need to work together with the Springwind Hall that he had a grudge with anymore.


    Seeing Ye Yuan directly send them out, Jiang Yuan��s expression could not help changing.


    They delivered such a big gift, it was naturally not just to make up with Ye Yuan so simple.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan let out the news concerning people��s interest in collaborating with him, Jiang Yuan wished to kill Jiang Hua a thousand times over.


    This damn thing really bungled matters!


    With Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao strength, this sort of cooperation would absolutely be greatly beneficial to the Springwind Hall.


    What did some spirit medicines count for? What was truly hard to seek were high-quality medicinal pills!


    A level eight difficulty vast spirit divine pill, the value was thousands of times, even ten thousand times of the spirit medicines itself!


    More importantly, this quality of medicinal pills, barely anyone could refine it.


    As long as they cooperated with Ye Yuan, Springwind Hall would be equivalent to monopolizing the market of high-quality medicinal pills.


    Whoever wanted to request for pills would have to go through their Springwind Hall.


    This way, their Springwind Hall��s status would soar, flinging the other halls far behind.


    This significance was out of the ordinary!


    Sadly, it was all ruined by Jiang Hua that bastard.


    Originally in a favorable position, but now, it was far away in the horizon.


    Jiang Yuan looked at Mu Feng rather anxiously, but the fatty hall master smiled slightly and said, ��Little Friend Ye, I actually came today because I wanted to introduce you to someone.��


    This fatty had a smiling face all day long, but Ye Yuan could sense that he was a formidable character.


    Not talking about other things, for this fatty to be able to apologize to him in front of so many people, this was not what ordinary people could do.


    After all, his identity was not ordinary.


    If not for Mu Feng��s attitude, Ye Yuan also would not possibly drop this matter easily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Hall Master Mu, your honorable hall and this Ye��s affairs are already squared. This Ye doesn��t wish to have any more ties with your honorable hall. Hall Master Mu��s good intentions, this Ye appreciates it, but as for getting to know this person �� best forget about it.��


    Springwind Hall��s overbearing style, Ye Yuan had already experienced it many times.


    No matter what Mu Feng did, that unpleasantness in Ye Yuan��s heart was not so easy to wipe away.


    But Mu Feng smiled and said, ��Little Friend Ye, don��t refuse me so quickly. This person, you definitely want to become acquainted.��


    Ye Yuan was just about to refuse once more, but two figures walked right over.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� The arrival was all smiles, his aged face even seemingly much younger.


    ��Brother Xiao? You ���� Ye Yuan was surprised.


    The arrival was none other than precisely Xiao Feng. There was also a white-haired old man who came over together with him.


    A few days ago, Xiao Feng suddenly said that he had business and immediately left. But today, he brought back an old man.


    ��Ye Yuan, I ���� Xiao Feng was somewhat abashed, seemingly having a bone in his throat.


    Mu Feng smiled and said, ��Little Friend Ye, let me re-introduce to you; Xiao Feng is our Springwind Hall��s high-level protector now. Also, this Mr. Lu Zhe is presently also my Springwind Hall��s elder.��


    Ye Yuan immediately understood; this fatty indeed had ulterior motives!


    But Ye Yuan was also filled with emotions at this fatty��s impressive methods, to actually think of making a move on the Xiao Feng by his side.


    Xiao Feng was merely a measly little low-level deacon. There was still a distance of 108,000 miles away from being a protector.


    High-level protector, that was a position that only Celestial Deity Realms could take on. Xiao Feng could be said to have ascended to the heavens in one step.


    Ye Yuan finally knew why Xiao Feng was embarrassed. Turns out that he accepted Springwind Hall��s arrangements and was afraid that Ye Yuan would be unhappy, that was why he would be like this.


    However, Mu Feng��s method, he really did not have any temper.


    Ye Yuan understood Xiao Feng��s feelings toward Springwind Hall. Although he was on very friendly terms with him, his sense of belonging to Springwind Hall was also extremely strong.


    One could say that Springwind Hall was his home.


    Moreover, there was even a Lu Zhe who was conveniently brought along.


    Now, with this layer of relationship, apart from choosing Springwind Hall, who else could Ye Yuan choose?


    ��Huhu, congratulations to Brother Xiao on your promotion. Ye Yuan pays respect to Elder Lu. The matter previously, thank you very much, Elder Lu,�� Ye Yuan said and clasped his hands.


    Within reason and favor, Ye Yuan owed Lu Zhe a favor. He had always remembered it in his heart.


    Lu Zhe hurriedly said, ��Master Ye is too courteous, it was merely the effort of lifting a finger. Furthermore, this old man��s face is meager and can��t be of much help. I��ve incurred Master Ye��s ridicule.��


    Ye Yuan��s identity, Lu Zhe had long learned about it from Xiao Feng.


    In front of Ye Yuan, he naturally did not dare to take advantage of his seniority.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s not that Elder Lu didn��t have the prestige, but it was just a despicable villain blocking the path. I have several medicinal pills here. Elder Lu, please kindly accept them.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out several small bottles and passed them over.


    Elder Lu��s expression could not help changing drastically when he saw and hurriedly turned it down, ��I can��t accept rewards without making any contributions. Master Ye, these medicinal pills are too precious.��


    Ye Yuan could tell that this Elder Lu had death qi revolving around his face. Clearly, his longevity was almost depleted, so he gave him some longevity extending medicinal pills.


    With Ye Yuan��s means, what he took out was naturally not ordinary goods. How could Lu Zhe dare accept it?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Elder Lu, disregarding that you��ve helped me before, Brother Xiao and I regard each other as brothers. You��re his master, and naturally also this Ye��s senior. If you don��t accept it, that��s looking down on this Ye.��


    Only when Xiao Feng heard this did his heart ease up, knowing that Ye Yuan did not get angry. He also urged, ��Master, accept it.��


    Lu Zhe saw that Ye Yuan already put it like this and could only accept it.

 Chapter 1935 - : Challenging the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heh, Hall Master Mu truly played a good hand!��


    There was only Mu Feng and Ye Yuan left inside the hall. Ye Yuan looked at the other party and spoke those words with a cold smile.


    Mu Feng smiled and said, ��Little Friend Ye calm your anger, this matter was this Mu��s fault; hence, this Mu apologizes to you first.��


    Ye Yuan drank a mouthful of tea and said coolly, ��What mistake did Hall Master Mu do? I still have to thank Hall Master Mu.��


    Mu Feng smiled and said, ��I know that the other few hall masters have already come to find Little Friend Ye. Our Springwind Hall has also indeed offended you. But speaking of which, actually, the incident that Little Friend Ye encountered, it would likely have happened regardless of which hall. But our Springwind Hall is the most closely connected with Little Friend Ye. The obstacles will also be fewer when cooperating together, isn��t it so?��


    This point, Ye Yuan was naturally well aware of it.


    It was just that if it happened, it happened, there was no if.


    If his strength was inadequate, wouldn��t he have died at Jiang Hua��s hands?


    ��Letting Xiao Feng assume the post of a protector is naturally looking on the account of Little Friend Ye��s face. But it��s also not entirely because so. I plan on having Xiao Feng reside in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City permanently, specifically be in charge of the matters of cooperation. Letting him be in charge of this matter is naturally the most suitable. I wonder what Little Friend Ye thinks about this?��


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan could not help being moved.


    Heavenly Eagle cooperating with Myriad Treasure Tower, no matter who was sent, all sorts of friction could not be avoided.


    Each serving their own master, this was unavoidable.


    But if this person was Xiao Feng, it was naturally a different matter.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was moved, Mu Feng smiled again and said, ��Furthermore, Little Friend Ye and our Springwind Hall are deeply connected. That Xie Jingyi and Liang Wanru are also under my Springwind Hall��s name at present too. I��ve understood the situation, their talents are both pretty good, I plan on fetching them to the great imperial capital and heavily groom them.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Mu Feng with a solemn look. Mu Feng still had a smile on his face.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan beamed and said, ��Hall Master Mu��s terms make me unable to refuse!��


    Ye Yuan had to admit that this Mu Feng was a formidable character.


    Not that his martial prowess was very high, but he also grasped human nature rather accurately.


    This fellow already had a clear insight of his personality!


    The other various major forces all thought of using various kinds of superior terms to move him, but Mu Feng was different.


    He discerned that Ye Yuan regarded the people around him very highly. His regard for his friends even surpassed his pursuit of benefits.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan also would not have flicked his sleeves and left at the Jiang Manor.


    Ye Yuan was naturally displeased with Mu Feng acting first and reporting afterward, but he was happier for Xiao Feng.


    At least with this identity, he could also straighten his back in the Springwind Hall.


    Mu Feng also smiled and said, ��Little Friend Ye, a pleasure to be working with you! You rest assured, I��ll give Xiao Feng the highest authority. Whatever spirit medicines Little Friend Ye requires, as long as our Springwind Hall can get them, everything can be discussed.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, ��Okay, let��s have a good cooperation!��


    ��


    The darkviolet arena storm passed very quickly. What astonished everyone was that Ye Yuan actually chose to cooperate with the Springwind Hall in the end.


    The various major forces could only sigh and lament.


    But what everyone paid attention to more was just how far Ye Yuan could walk in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    Entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion was not an easy thing.


    For blackscale alchemists to want to enter the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, they had to defeat three Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders.


    This difficulty was simply too great!


    Alchemy celestial level powerhouses, each one was a Dao Realm powerhouse. The might of their Alchemy Dao strength, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.


    People should not look at how Yu Ying was at the Dao Realm. In front of alchemy celestial level powerhouses, he completely could not stand up to the competition.


    Everyone did not know the little interlude that happened at the Hundred Herb Gathering, so everyone also did not have a direct understanding of Ye Yuan��s strength.


    In reality, even Chen Chang himself also did not know Ye Yuan��s limits.


    The various major forces losing the cooperation, each and every one of them was deriving pleasure from other people��s misfortune, waiting to see Springwind Hall make a fool of themselves.


    Time passed very quickly. In a twinkle, two months passed. Ye Yuan overcame all the difficulties along the way, rising from darkviolet to blackscale, and also obtained 30 straight wins in blackscale, finally obtaining the opportunity to challenge Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders.


    The blackscale arena was different from the darkviolet arena, the number of blackscale level powerhouses was far fewer than darkviolet.


    Furthermore, the strengths of blackscale level powerhouses were all the more closer. Wanting to obtain consecutive wins was doubly difficult in the first place.


    But Ye Yuan still made a clean sweep along the way.


    Even Yu Ying was instantly defeated in front of him, so how many could be his match?


    Finally, the time to challenge Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders arrived.


    On this day, there were streams of people.


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had 15 elders. Apart from two that were currently in terminal seclusion, the other 13 all turned up.


    Quite a few came a long way from other places, for the sake of today��s challenge.


    Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan, a rueful look.


    He did not expect that this day arrived so quickly.


    Dealing with Ye Yuan, he had no confidence at all.


    ��Ye Yuan, you obtained the chance to challenge Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders. Now, you can choose the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders that you want to challenge,�� Chen Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Elder Chen Yu, Ye Yuan has a presumptuous request, wonder if the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion can permit it or not?��


    Chen Yu was puzzled, but still nodded and said, ��Let��s talk about it.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��The three elders that I want to challenge are respectively you, Master Chen Chang, as well as Master Xiao Zhen! I wonder if it��s allowed?��


    The moment these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    ��Is there a mistake? These three are the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s publicly recognized strongest three elders. Ye Yuan is actually going to challenge the three of them?��


    ��This guy is really a mad man!��


    ��Isn��t it said that persimmons have to pick soft ones to knead? He��s picking a stone to knead!��


    ��


    Arriving at the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion for such a long time, Ye Yuan naturally had some understanding of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders�� strength too.


    The three people that he challenged were precisely the strongest three among the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elders.


    Xiao Zhen came from another great imperial capital. His Alchemy Dao strength was not the least bit inferior compared to Chen Chang too.


    However, Chen Yu felt bitter in his heart. The thing that he did not wish to see the most still happened.


    Other people challenging the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, that was all finding the weakest elders. But Ye Yuan failed to show restraint and directly challenged the three of them.


    The most important thing was that he did not have any confidence in beating Ye Yuan.


    The matter that Chen Chang spoke of, Chen Yu had long already known about it.


    That level of divine-grade divine pill, he did not have confidence in refining it.


    The three of them were all old fellows who had become famous for a million years. Ever since entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, they had never been defeated before.


    But today, they encountered a troublesome target.


    If they lost, it would also be embarrassing!


    Either way, Ye Yuan entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion was already set in stone, how great would it be to challenge those weak ones?


    Chen Yu nursed a bitter grudge in his heart.


    ��You naturally can! What about the thing you want to ask?�� Although Chen Yu was not willing to confront Ye Yuan, at this time, he naturally could not say no.


    Ye Yuan looked at Chen Yu and said with a solemn look, ��What I want to say is, I want to challenge the three of you at the same time!��


    Murmur!


    With this, below burst into an even greater uproar.


    Challenging the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s strongest three people at the same time, what kind of concept was this?

 Chapter 1936 - Battling Three Elders

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Chen Yu��s brows furrowed, revealing an unhappy look.


    1


    Ye Yuan actually challenged the three of them at the same time, this was also looking down on the few of them too much.


    As Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s veteran powerhouses, the three of their statuses naturally went without saying.


    Ye Yuan was unbridled on account of his young age and also too overweeningly arrogant!


    There was a series of sighs below the stage, all mocking Ye Yuan��s overestimation of his own ability.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re extremely talented, your strength being extremely formidable. Concerning this point, this old man admits it! But you want to challenge the three of us at the same time, ithat��s looking down on others too much, right?�� Chen Yu said in a solemn voice.


    Clearly, he was unhappy.


    1


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders by his side also had unfriendly looks, their expressions when looking at Ye Yuan was full of enmity.


    But Ye Yuan had a relaxed look as he said smilingly, ��Elder Chen Yu, don��t get agitated. Let me finish saying.��


    Chen Yu had a black face as he said, ��Say!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This Ye doesn��t have the intention of looking down on the elders. The reason why I did so is actually because of another reason. If Ye Yuan can win by chance, I have a presumptuous request.��


    Chen Chang said, ��We��re not unreasonable people, if you can win, you��ll be a member of our generation. Whatever you need us elder brothers to help with, just open your mouth. There is no need to use this kind of method to goad us.��


    Toward Ye Yuan, Chen Chang still quite admired him.


    Furthermore, he understood that Ye Yuan was not that sort of impetuous and arrogant person.


    There must be a reason why he did this.


    But this way of doing things was too provocative. It would definitely push people away.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��If I can win, I wish to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather. Hope that seniors can fulfill this request.��


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    Everyone��s faces changed abruptly, being stunned by Ye Yuan��s words.


    1


    ��Arrogant! Too arrogant! He �� He actually dares to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather? How dare he!��


    ��Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Who is Empyrean Flutterfeather? How could he be what a puny little Celestial Deity Realm can challenge?��


    ��This brat must have lost his mind!��


    ��


    There was an uproar at the scene. The crowd was thunderstruck by Ye Yuan��s words until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    It had already been no idea how many years, no one had ever dared to say that they wanted to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather!


    Forget about a puny little Five-star Alchemy God, even Seven-star Alchemy Gods, those who dared to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather were not many either.


    Chen Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Do you know what you��re saying?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I naturally know. My objective of coming to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital is seeking cooperation on one hand. While on the other hand, it��s in order to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather!��


    Entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion had never been Ye Yuan��s goal.


    With his strength, entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion did not pose the least bit of difficulty at all.


    ��Humph! Brat who overestimates his ability, you think that by entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, you have the qualifications to challenge Lord Flutterfeather?�� Chen Yu said with a black face.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Hence, I proposed challenging the three of you at the same time. If I win, it can at least show my strength too. Isn��t that so?��


    Everyone was astonished. Only now did they know Ye Yuan��s intention.


    ��Humph! Even if you really win, you��re also not qualified enough to challenge Lord Flutterfeather, give up on this!�� said an Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elder with a cold snort.


    Chen Chang also said, ��With your talent, you might not be unable to attain Lord Flutterfeather��s height in the future. It��s just that challenging him right now, you��re not qualified enough yet.��


    Ye Yuan fell silent. Empyrean Flutterfeather had long already had the status of not to be blasphemed, just like gods, in these people��s hearts.


    A puny little Five-star Alchemy God challenging him was seriously too grossly overestimating his own ability in their eyes.


    Below the stage, there was also a series of taunting and mocking voices, all ridiculing Ye Yuan for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��Since that��s the case, forget it then.��


    Finished talking, he actually turned around and walked outside.


    Chen Yu frowned and said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, what do you mean by this?��


    Ye Yuan said without even turning his head back, ��I entered the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion in order to challenge Empyrean Flutterfeather. Since I can��t get my wish, entering the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion lost its meaning too.��


    Wildly arrogant!


    Too wildly conceited!


    The people looked at Ye Yuan and already did not know what to say.


    In Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, the final goal that all of the alchemists strove toward was the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion.


    But Ye Yuan actually turned his nose up at it!


    Actually, Ye Yuan was really not arrogant. It was just that his horizons were different from these people.


    Just like a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, would he care about a True God Realm��s organization?


    It was impossible to have any interest at all!


    Although Ye Yuan did not reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm, the strength of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion these elders was still far too lacking compared to him.


    ��This empyrean accepts your challenge.�� Right at this time, a voice suddenly descended.


    Everyone��s faces suddenly changed. Was that Empyrean Flutterfeather?


    ��Lord Flutterfeather!�� Chen Yu and the rest said in surprise.


    They did not expect that Empyrean Flutterfeather would actually descend personally and agree to Ye Yuan��s challenge!


    ��The three of you have a match with him then. Little Friend, don��t let this empyrean down!��


    Finished talking, that voice disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never appeared before.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, a hint of joy flashed across on his face.


    Looks like his performance these few days in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion indeed attracted Empyrean Flutterfeather��s attention.


    Chen Yu sucked in a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, ��Stinking brat, don��t you get dizzy with success! Our hurdle isn��t easy to clear!��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said with a smile, ��Please give guidance!��


    1


    ��


    On the stage, three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses had fearsome auras, crushing over towards the Ye Yuan currently in the center.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the least bit of panicky look.


    Three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses joining hands, the commotion was indeed extraordinary. It was far from what Yu Ying that kind of blackscale level powerhouse could compare to.


    It was just that even with three people joining hands, it also could not stop Ye Yuan��s momentum.


    His imposing momentum was akin to floodwaters about to breach the dam; advancing irresistibly.


    ��How can this be? These three are the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s strongest elders. Under their teamwork, even Seven-star Alchemy Gods have to temporarily avoid the cutting edge too. But Ye Yuan is actually faintly suppressing them!��


    ��Too terrifying! Could it be that this guy doesn��t have a limit?��


    ��It can��t be that he really has the strength to challenge Lord Flutterfeather, right?��


    ��


    Under Ye Yuan��s assault, fine sweat beads seeped out on the foreheads of the three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses, appearing very strained.


    The refinement of rank five divine pills competed in the understanding of rank five divine pills, the medicinal properties of rank five spirit medicines, as well as Alchemy Dao Realm.


    In these few aspects, Ye Yuan completely crushed the three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses.


    This alchemy battle seemed like Ye Yuan was very weak, but actually, it was not the case at all.


    It was at this time that everyone finally saw clearly Ye Yuan��s strength. They also finally knew where Ye Yuan��s confidence lay in challenging the three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses.


    ��Condense!��


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry, the medicinal pill formed!


    The three great elders were akin to being relieved of a heavy burden, only then slightly heaving a sigh of relief.


    Very soon, the three great elders also completed the pill refinement.


    The moment they opened up the furnace to take a look, the crowd was flabbergasted!


    ��Void spirit divine pill! Under this kind of brute force confrontation, Ye Yuan actually still refined a void spirit divine pill!��


    The three elders�� medicinal pills were one high-grade, two middle-grades.


    Not that they could not refine high-quality medicinal pills, but it was that they were utterly suppressed by Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum, unable to unleash their strength at all.


    Ye Yuan won again!

 Chapter 1937 - Empyrean Flutterfeather

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This Ye Yuan is merely roughly a thousand years old. Even if he started cultivating in his mother��s womb, it��s also impossible to suppress three great Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders, right?��


    ��Really blinded my dog eyes! My many years of living was really in vain!��


    ��No wonder Lord Flutterfeather personally descended. His elderly self has probably long seen through Ye Yuan��s strength!��


    ��


    From the initial-most mockery to the current astonishment, the audience��s understanding of Ye Yuan reached a new height.


    The most important thing was that Ye Yuan was too young!


    Being an alchemist was an occupation that accumulated day in and day out. No matter how a person was talented, it was also impossible to reach this goal in one step.


    But Ye Yuan subverted their understanding.


    The three great elders looked at Ye Yuan, being shocked speechless.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually frighteningly formidable.


    This kind of strength, he had probably already walked a long way in Dao Realm.


    As for how far, they were unable to estimate it at all.


    When facing Ye Yuan, it made the three of them have a feeling like trying to shake a big tree.


    This kind of feeling, they only had it before when facing Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    ��Three seniors, thanks for giving way!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    These three people��s strengths were indeed very strong. It could even be said that they were the strongest opponents that Ye Yuan had encountered to this date.


    In alchemy, Ye Yuan was close to invincible. He had always made a clean sweep of his opponents.


    But these three people joining hands indeed caused some impact on him.


    At least, he could not do what he did to Yu Ying, directly vanquishing them.


    Under his powerful pressure, the three of them still persisted until the end.


    Chen Chang looked at Ye Yuan and let out a sigh as he said, ��Give what way? Ye Yuan, time makes it inevitable that in every profession, the new generation surpasses the last one. Your strength is already beyond imagination. Work hard! This is the alchemy celestial token, from today onward, you��re Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elder; on equal footing with us. This is somewhat wronging you, but this identity can bring you tremendous convenience.��


    As he said, Chen Chang handed over a token that looked like it was studded with stars, being incomparably profound.


    ��Thank you, Brother Chen!�� Ye Yuan received the token and cupped his fists as he said.


    The other two people both fell silent, clearly not quite able to accept this result.


    ��


    The news of Ye Yuan overpowering three great Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders spread far and wide in the Lustrous Gold alchemy world.


    Everyone knew that the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion produced a very young elder.


    The entire Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was practically talking about this matter.


    Roughly a thousand years old Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elder, this was absolutely an explosive topic of conversation, enough for these people to comment for several years, even several decades.


    However, what made them discuss even more was Ye Yuan��s battle with Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    The number of years that Empyrean Flutterfeather had been famous already could not be investigated.


    But his might was absolutely beyond all doubt.


    Seven-star Alchemy God, this was an insurmountable peak in the first place.


    Let alone that Empyrean Flutterfeather was even an extremely formidable existence among Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    Even if Ye Yuan defeated three great alchemy celestial level powerhouses, this action was still overestimating his own ability in their eyes.


    But sadly, this battle would not be publicized. Those able to watch the battle were only the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elders.


    Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was built by the mountains. On the Clouddream Mountain, aloud and mist coiled up all year round, being extremely elegant.


    It was just that no one dared to go up the Clouddream Mountain at all.


    Because they knew that Clouddream Mountain was Empyrean Flutterfeather��s Dao field.


    Since ancient times, only Empyrean level powerhouses could go up Clouddream Mountain. And their objectives were mostly in order to request for pills.


    Thanks to Ye Yuan, the dozen over Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders scaled up Clouddream Mountain today.


    Inside the archaic and magnificent hall, it appeared extremely empty.


    A faint medicinal fragrance lingered in the air, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.


    Two little medicine boys were currently fanning the medicinal cauldron��s fire. Seeing Ye Yuan come in, their eyes revealed a hint of disdain.


    The little medicine boy in purple clothing looked at Ye Yuan and said with an unhappy look, ��It��s you who wanted to challenge Master? Not much older than us either, truly overestimating your own ability.��


    The little medicine boy in green said with an unfriendly expression, ��Hmph hmph! Won against the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elders and you got carried away! They are nothing in front of Master!��


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders by the side had awkward faces, not quite able to maintain their dignity anymore.


    But it could not be helped that they could not maintain their dignity. These two little medicine boys were Empyrean Flutterfeather��s direct lineage disciples. Their statuses were even higher than theirs, they did not dare be insolent.


    But they also knew that the strength of these two little medicine boys in front of them was extraordinary.


    If one looked down on them because of their age, then they would definitely suffer a huge loss.


    Suddenly, they thought of this freak beside them again, and they were actually rendered speechless.


    Those two little medicine boys were strong because they had a Seven-star Alchemy God master, but what about Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan came from a little county and relied on his own efforts to walk step by step until this day. That was truly monstrous.


    ��Zi Yu, Qing Yun, don��t be rude!��


    Just as everyone was awkward, a figure appeared.


    Ye Yuan looked at the arrival and actually could not quite see through clearly.


    Ye Yuan clearly knew that the person in front of him was Empyrean Flutterfeather, but he was unable to see clearly, as if a layer of fog covered his face.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s entire person was like an incarnation of Dao, so fleeting and ephemeral.


    This was not Ye Yuan��s first time seeing an Empyrean powerhouse. He had even killed before Empyrean powerhouses. But that was inside the Immortal Grove World, the Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao suppressed those people immensely strongly.


    But in the Heavenspan World, it was still Ye Yuan��s first time coming into contact with an Empyrean powerhouse. It was truly illusory and ephemeral to the extreme.


    When Zi Yu and Qing Yun, the two medicine boys saw Flutterfeather, the haughty expression on their faces immediately reined in.


    It was just that in their eyes, it was still full of disdain toward Ye Yuan.


    ��We pay respects to Lord Flutterfeather!�� When the group of alchemy celestial elders saw the arrival, they immediately bowed in salute.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Thank you, Lord Flutterfeather, for acquiescing to my wish!��


    Flutterfeather sized Ye Yuan up and said, ��You��re at grand completion Dao Realm?��


    Ye Yuan and the group of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders were greatly astonished when they heard that.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that Empyrean Flutterfeather actually saw through him with one glance.


    Dao Realm was different from Martial Dao Realm, unable to see through at a glance.


    Furthermore, Dao Realm was extremely illusory and insubstantial, ordinary people could not estimate it at all.


    But Flutterfeather actually saw through at a glance.


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders all turned pale with terror. They knew that Ye Yuan was definitely a Dao Realm powerhouse, but they did not think that Ye Yuan was actually a grand completion Dao Realm powerhouse.


    Dao Realm was different from Martial Dao Realm. Initial-stage Dao Realm and grand completion Dao Realm, even if ordinary alchemists worked hard for all their life, they could not attain it too.


    To the vast majority of alchemists, the grand completion Dao Realm was the opposite shore!


    But Ye Yuan actually reached the grand completion Dao Realm at a young age. It was truly unthinkable, and not up to them to not be shocked.


    Sizing Ye Yuan up once more, Ye Yuan��s figure became extremely stalwart in their eyes.


    ��Could it be that Senior Flutterfeather has already reached Ancestor Realm? If that��s really the case, this junior was impetuous!��


    Very soon, Ye Yuan regained his nerves and answered with a question.


    Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��How can Ancestor Realm be so easy to attain? However, this empyrean shouldn��t be far away! As for seeing through your realm, when you reach this empyrean��s boundary, it will naturally be clear at a glance.��

 Chapter 1938 - Intense Confrontation!

    ��So that��s how it is!��


    Ye Yuan was calm on the surface but actually extremely shocked inwardly.


    The meaning in Empyrean Realm Flutterfeather��s words was that he was only a step away from the Ancestor Realm.


    Compared to the Dao Realm, the Ancestor Realm was even more vague and insubstantial, and it was even harder to fathom.


    Although Ye Yuan was already at the grand completion Dao Realm, he still did not have the slightest clue about Ancestor Realm.


    ��Achieving the grand completion Dao Realm at a young age, your future prospects are limitless!�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    ��Senior Flutterfeather is too kind!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Huhu, enough talk, since you want to challenge me, let��s begin then. The medicinal pill is up to you to choose,�� Flutterfeather said coolly.


    Ye Yuan nodded. He was also somewhat unable to hold himself back anymore.


    An opponent like Empyrean Flutterfeather could not be encountered randomly.


    Compared to Empyrean powerhouses, grand completion Dao Realm alchemists were harder to encounter.


    ��Why don��t we refine the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill, I wonder what Senior Flutterfeather thinks?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Mn? Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill is a supreme medicinal pill for five transformation body-cultivators. Refining it is quite hard, you��re sure that you want to refine it?�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This is it.��


    The classification of medicinal pills was just a general division. Similarly level nine difficulty medicinal pills, it was naturally impossible for the refining difficulty to be exactly the same.


    Just like the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill that Ye Yuan refined before, the difficulty level was virtually unimaginable.


    This Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill��s refining difficulty was considered very high among rank five level nine divine pills already.


    To Ye Yuan, refining the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, Exquisite Jade Heart Recovery Pill, this kind of commonly seen medicinal pills would naturally be the most suitable.


    Although Ye Yuan��s strength was extremely strong, in terms of pill refining experience, in terms of understanding toward the medicinal properties of spirit medicines, how could he compare to the Empyrean Flutterfeather who had lived for several million years?


    This choice was not wise for Ye Yuan.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather nodded his head. Flicking his sleeves grandly, a medicinal cauldron appeared in front of him.


    ��Since it��s refining a rank five divine pill, this Empyrean naturally won��t take advantage of you either. This is the medicinal cauldron that this Empyrean used when I was at Celestial Deity Realm, it��s called Xuanlong Cauldron, which hasn��t been used for several million years already. If you win this Empyrean, this Empyrean will give it to you,�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said.


    Ye Yuan sized up the Xuanlong Cauldron in front of him. Waves of profound and inscrutable undulations emitted from it, it was a rare treasure among celestial deity mystic treasures.


    To Five-star Alchemy Gods, it was absolutely a treasure that they yearned for even in their sleep.


    Except, when Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people saw this scene, they could not help having astonished faces.


    ��Master, this disciple has begged you for a thousand years already and you weren��t willing to bestow the Xuanlong Cauldron to me. Now, you��re actually going to gift it to an outsider,�� Zi Yu said with an aggrieved look.


    These two little medicine boys had clearly received Empyrean Flutterfeather��s doting favor, to actually dare speak to him like this.


    But one could also tell from his expression that this Xuanlong Cauldron was an exceptionally fine medicinal cauldron.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��Not giving you is naturally because you aren��t worthy of this medicinal cauldron. Although it��s already useless to me, this Empyrean has nourished it for several million years. It��s spirituality has long already surpassed ordinary celestial deity mystic treasures. Whoever inherits it and uses it to refine pills, that naturally also represents this Empyrean��s face. The two of you are still far away from this step!��


    Qing Yun pursed his mouth and said, ��I don��t believe that this brat can be Master��s match!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather waved his hand and said, ��Don��t be impolite; quickly go prepare the spirit medicines.��


    The two disciples did not dare to dawdle, quickly going to prepare two sets of Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill spirit medicines.


    These spirit medicines were worth a thousand gold outside, but in Clouddream Mountain, it naturally did not count for anything.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s palm brushed past, it seemed to have magical powers, those spirit medicines actually turned into motes of light, gathering over towards the Xuanlong Cauldron.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted; Empyrean Flutterfeather actually directly skipped the medicinal embryo refining segment.


    This technique was simply inconceivable.


    The pupils of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elders all shrunk, clearly being astounded by this scene.


    They were also considered to be extremely experienced alchemists already, their statuses incomparably revered.


    But the workings of this scene in front of their eyes, they had simply never heard of it before.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was an extremely mysterious existence, it was naturally impossible to refine pills in front of these people��s faces.


    Being able to come here and watch today was still thanks to Ye Yuan. It also let them broaden their horizons.


    When Zi Yu and Qing Yun saw this scene, their faces revealed smug smiles.


    ��Saw that? This is merely the tip of Master��s strength. This stinking brat is totally overestimating his own ability!�� Zi Yu said.


    ��Even if he��s at the grand completion Dao Realm, compared to Master, he��s also worlds apart! Pill refinement isn��t competing in just realm!�� Qing Yun said.


    Seemingly detecting the strange look in Ye Yuan��s eyes, Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a smile, ��This Empyrean has immersed in Alchemy Dao for millions of years and has long already understood the medicinal properties of all kinds of spirit medicines like the arm directs the fingers. If I can��t even do this, then my reputation is also too undeserved.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Flutterfeather is impressive. This junior really broadened my horizons!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s hand was like a wandering dragon. A cluster of pale white flames emerged from his palm, turning into nine fire dragons.


    Under Ye Yuan��s control, the nine fire dragons were akin to living things, suddenly diving into the medicinal cauldron in front of him.


    Bang!


    The medicinal cauldron suddenly gave off a sonorous dragon roar, reverberating throughout the hall.


    Ye Yuan��s medicinal cauldron was obtained in the Purple Extreme Hall, it was called Wandering Dragon Cauldron!


    Even though it was a celestial deity mystic treasure too, it was much worse than a treasure like the Xuanlong Cauldron.


    A celestial deity mystic treasure that was nourished by an Empyrean powerhouse for several million years was not what ordinary objects could compare to.


    However, the Wandering Dragon Cauldron suddenly radiated a brilliant light under Ye Yuan��s manipulation.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. The spirit medicines flew straight into the Wandering Dragon Cauldron.


    ��Pfft!��


    Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people immediately burst into laughter.


    ��Does he know how to refine pills or not? Can throwing the spirit medicines in all together like this refine medicinal pills? This brat isn��t here to joke around, right?�� Zi Yu convulsed with laughter as he said.


    ��Heh heh, he tried to draw a tiger but ended up with the likeness of a dog! He wants to follow Master��s example, but he also doesn��t measure his own capabilities, can he learn it?�� Qing Yun similarly burst into laughter and said.


    When the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders saw this scene, each and every one also shook their heads.


    It seemed like Ye Yuan was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner and directly had his tempo taken by Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    That fire controlling art was naturally extremely formidable, but he could not even refine the medicinal embryo refine superb medicinal pills?


    It was just that none of them noticed that a hint of strange light flashed across in Empyrean Flutterfeather��s eyes.


    ��Brilliant! Truly excellent! Little Friend, just based on this move, you��re adequate to be this Empyrean��s opponent!�� Flutterfeather had a rare burst of exclamation.


    His words made everyone��s faces change slightly.


    Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people��s smiles immediately turned stiff on their faces.


    It was clearly Ye Yuan behaving carelessly, so why did their master give such a high evaluation?


    Was this move �� brilliant?


    Why couldn��t they tell?


    ��Master, how is his move brilliant? Randomly throwing spirit medicines in like this can refine the medicinal embryo?�� Zi Yu was full of puzzlement.


    Flutterfeather smiled faintly and said, ��You guys can��t, but he can! This move is extremely brilliant, but you guys can��t learn it!��

 Chapter 1939 - Twin Dragons Shocking the Heavens!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s words made the hearts of Zi Yu and the rest tremble.


    Ye Yuan��s technique was clearly just like a big jumble of mess, so why did it become very brilliant?


    ��This move of his seems like a big mess, but actually, there is a well-thought-out plan. He made the medicinal cauldron operate on its own with an extremely brilliant fire controlling art. As long as these spirit medicines enter the medicinal cauldron, they would automatically be extracted until the divine fire and medicinal cauldron��s control, tempered, and formed into medicinal embryo! Of course, wanting to do it to this step, there��s an exceedingly high requirement of familiarity with the medicinal properties of spirit medicines, fire controlling technique, and the medicinal cauldron. This requirement is close to rigorous, ordinary people can��t do it at all.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather spoke with confidence and composure, but everyone was alarmed when they heard it.


    ��A-Automatically operating to extract the medicinal embryo? How is this possible?�� Chen Yu said in shock and horror.


    He was a Dao Realm powerhouse himself and naturally knew how difficult this was.


    Empyrean Realm Flutterfeather said coolly, ��Nothing is impossible. You can��t because your skill isn��t up to par. Ye Yuan��s fire controlling art has already attained sublimity, and even this Empyrean dare not say that I can win against him.��


    ��Hiss!��


    The sound of cold air being sucked in echoed in the hall.


    How terrifying Empyrean Flutterfeather��s fire controlling art was, they were completely unable to imagine.


    But he said that Ye Yuan��s fire controlling art was not the least bit inferior to him.


    How terrifying was this?!


    One had to know, Empyrean Flutterfeather was an old monster who had already lived for several million years. Having such a profound fire controlling technique was not unusual.


    But Ye Yuan?


    He was only roughly a thousand years old!


    Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people no longer dared to speak, their faces being very ugly by the side.


    The two of them were even much older than Ye Yuan. But in terms of fire controlling technique, they were not even fit to carry Ye Yuan��s shoes.


    Even though Master doted on them a lot, he had never given them such a high evaluation before.


    ��Huhu, I��ve displayed my ability in front of Senior Flutterfeather,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Flutterfeather said coolly, ��You and I know it perfectly well, so why is there a need to say such things? Next, this Empyrean won��t hold back anymore. This Empyrean��s alchemy technique is my self-created Soul Heavenly Revelation Art. You have to be careful.��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Chaos Heavenly Star Art, please give pointers!��


    A strange look fleeted across Empyrean Flutterfeather��s eyes, thinking to himself in alarm, Chaos Heavenly Star Art, was it intentional or unintentional? The word ��chaos�� was not what anyone dared to use!


    But very soon, Empyrean Flutterfeather reined in his thoughts, his entire person becoming tranquil.


    An aura of Dao that could not be described with words started filling the air in the hall.


    A thread of flame that was as fine as silk slowly flowed into the Xuanlong Cauldron like a stream.


    There were the grace and sereneness of the silent night.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, being fully aware that he ran into an expert.


    Refining a rank five divine pill, he had yet to encounter such great pressure before.


    Ye Yuan did not dare to be negligent, the Chaos Heavenly Star Art revolved. A similarly incomparably profound aura spread out from Ye Yuan��s body.


    Two auras collided together fiercely.


    Ye Yuan��s mind was shocked and nearly went limp.


    What a powerful impact force!


    Ye Yuan felt that it was like the weight of Mount Tai bearing down on him, being powerful and unstoppable.


    The alchemy battles previously, no matter how powerful the opponents were, how fierce the impact was, it was unable to shake him in the slightest.


    But this time, Ye Yuan actually felt like he was unable to confront the opponent.


    This kind of aura was not the pressure of an Empyrean, but the aura formed from refining medicinal pills.


    Because of the limitation of rank five divine pills, no matter how great your strength was, you could only urge rank five divine pills to the limits and would not exceed the scope of rank five.


    It was just that the strength of the alchemist, the aura that was released was totally different.


    Powerful ones could have their qi surge to the clouds, triggering the power of heaven and earth.


    Weak ones could only barely manage to hold out, so on and so forth.


    Currently, after the medicinal pill aura of Empyrean Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan two people clashed vigorously, they turned into two enormous dragons, spiraling up, rushing straight for the clouds.


    That imposing momentum could be said to startle the heavens and shake the earth.


    At this time, Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people no longer dared to speak up to ridicule Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill aura was inferior to Empyrean Flutterfeather��s, the might of its imposing momentum made people tongue-tied.


    This commotion was absolutely not what the likes of their strength could bring out.


    They finally understand why Master wanted to battle in alchemy with a puny little Celestial Deity Realm with the body of an Empyrean Realm.


    Ye Yuan indeed had this qualification.


    On the other side, the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elders all revealed shocked expressions.


    Especially the Chen Yu three people who had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan before. They were even more inexplicably shocked in their hearts.


    ��Turns out that this is Ye Yuan��s full strength! When he was battling in alchemy with us, he didn��t use his full strength at all!�� Chen Yu said with a pale complexion.


    Chen Chang also nodded slowly and said, ��Grand completion Dao Realm! This is the strength of grand completion Dao Realm! The likes of us can��t imagine it at all!��


    Xiao Zhen sighed emotionally and said, ��No wonder he dared to utter wild ravings, wanting to challenge Lord Flutterfeather! Us mortal men can��t arouse his interest at all! This boy��s talent is truly terrifying, being already at the grand completion Dao Realm at a young age! After hundreds of millions of years past, the Heavenspan World might produce another Medicine Ancestor.��


    When everyone heard that, they were shocked.


    In these countless tens of thousands of years, only one Medicine Ancestor emerged.


    Although the Demon Race produced a Sacred Ancestor High Priest, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest was still quite a bit worse compared to the Medicine Ancestor.


    But Ye Yuan��s age determined his future potential.


    Who could say that he could not reach the Medicine Ancestor��s boundary in the future?


    While they were talking, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s and Ye Yuan��s auras grew stronger and stronger. The pill refinement also reached a white-hot degree.


    ��Roar!��


    An illusory purple dragon rushed to the sky, directly breaching the great hall��s constraints, heading for the horizon.


    Ye Yuan��s side was also not resigned to playing second fiddle.


    ��Roar!��


    A ferocious dragon similarly rose to the sky, catching up to the purple dragon very quickly.


    Two illusory enormous dragons had a great battle at the horizon, the commotion grew stronger and stronger.


    The present Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, the color of the sky completely dimmed down.


    The clear skies that originally stretched thousands of miles actually had fine rain clouds rain down at present.


    All the martial artists in the city were drawn by the two enormous dragons high up in the sky.


    ��This phenomenon came from Clouddream Mountain, heard that that newly appointed Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elder is challenging Empyrean Flutterfeather. Could it be that they are battling in alchemy?��


    ��Heard that Empyrean Flutterfeather��s divine fire is Purple Wing True Dragon Fire. That purple enormous dragon is likely transformed by Empyrean Flutterfeather, right? Then the other enormous dragon is Ye Yuan?��


    ��Really too crazy! Elder Ye Yuan is just a Five-star Alchemy God, he can actually fight with Empyrean Flutterfeather, this Seven-star Alchemy God, until they are evenly-matched?��


    ��


    The commotion caused by Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather battling in alchemy was too big, it was hard for the entire city of martial artists to not be concerned even if they did not want to.


    It was just that at this very moment, what they were shocked by was not how strong Empyrean Flutterfeather��s strength was, but that a Five-star Alchemy God could actually fight with a Seven-star Alchemy God until they were locked in a struggle!


    A Five-star Alchemy God could actually cause such a phenomenon, Ye Yuan��s strength already far surpassed the people��s imaginations.


    Bang!


    Right at this time, the two enormous dragons in the sky gave off a fierce collision.


    The spiritual energy of heaven stirred up by the two enormous dragons instantly set off an enormous undulation.


    In a twinkle, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as if the end of the world had come.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Bolts of lightning wrapped in horrifying pressure rushed into Clouddream Mountain, landing inside the hall!

 Chapter 1940 - Etiquette of a Senior

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Buzz, buzz!��


    The aura of Alchemy Dao followed by lightning slammed right into the hall.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan��s faces changed at the same time, the seals in their hands changing swiftly and indeterminately like the clouds.


    The horrifying lightning was actually guided into the medicinal cauldrons by Empyrean Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan.


    Immediately, countless lightning flashed incessantly on the Xuanlong Cauldron and Wandering Dragon Cauldron, looking hair-raising.


    ��They �� They are actually snatching pill tribulation!�� Chen Chang exclaimed in shock.


    As alchemists, they were clear how terrifying this level of pill tribulation was.


    In reality, when each alchemist encountered pill tribulation, they would respond carefully, fearful of making the slightest mistake.


    But these two people actually used pill tribulation to temper the medicinal pills!


    If it was tempering medicinal pills, fine, the two of them were actually afraid that the pill tribulation was insufficient and desperately vying for the pill tribulation!


    These two were absolutely lunatics!


    The group of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders looked at this scene in incredible shock and already did not know what they should say.


    It was only to see bolts of lightning entering the medicinal cauldrons. The energy undulations inside the medicinal cauldrons became stronger and stronger, actually showing sights of losing control.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Ye Yuan��s Wandering Dragon Cauldron actually started cracking apart.


    Chen Chang��s expression changed and he said, ��It��s over! This pill tribulation��s energy is too terrifying, Ye Yuan��s medicinal cauldron already almost can��t take it anymore. A single slip up and the furnace will blow up!��


    When Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people saw this scene, they could not help revealing a look of wild ecstasy.


    ��Haha, this brat lost for sure! Can��t even control medicinal cauldron, refine what medicinal pills?�� Qing Yun laughed loudly as he said.


    But those Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders were silent. They knew that even if Ye Yuan��s furnace exploded, it was also not due to lack of skill.


    Even though Empyrean Flutterfeather only used a celestial deity mystic treasure, this celestial deity mystic treasure was nourished by him for several million years. Its bearing capacity was absolutely not what Ye Yuan��s Wandering Dragon Cauldron could compare to.


    The aura set off by these two people refining pills practically reached the limits of rank five divine pills already. So the pill tribulation brought down was also not what ordinary medicinal cauldrons could withstand.


    Although the Wandering Dragon Cauldron was decent, it was clearly a little worse in handling such horrifying energy.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of giving up. He still controlled the medicinal cauldron with his full attention, refining the medicinal pill.


    The two enormous dragons were still in a struggle, pill tribulation continuously poured into the medicinal cauldron.


    The Wandering Dragon Cauldron��s cracking became more and more serious, the cracks on it also became more and more.


    Qing Yun was long already waiting for the furnace to blow up. But a very long time had passed and the Wandering Dragon Cauldron still did not show signs of blowing up.


    ��This �� What on earth is going on here? His medicinal cauldron has clearly reached the limits it can bear long ago, but why hasn��t it blow up?�� Qing Yun said gloomily.


    The Wandering Dragon Cauldron��s cauldron body was already fragmented into little pieces. One could practically say that it had fallen apart. Logically speaking, the furnace should have long blown up, yet, it just refused to explode!


    Chen Chang said, ��His medicinal cauldron had indeed reached its limits long ago, but Ye Yuan relied on the power of Great Dao and forcefully maintained the medicinal cauldron! His control over the medicinal cauldron has simply reached an inconceivable level!��


    Zi Yu and Qing Yun exchanged a glance, being shocked speechless.


    It was still their first time seeing that one��s control over the medicinal cauldron could reach such a horrifying degree.


    Was this really what people could accomplish?


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    High up in the sky, a purple and a white, two enormous dragons, unfolded a fierce confrontation, the imposing momentum getting stronger and stronger.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, after the two enormous dragons had a fierce collision, they fell apart to pieces!


    The two illusory massive dragons turned into motes of light.


    And right at this time, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s and Ye Yuan��s minds became more agile as luck hit, suddenly opening both eyes.


    The two originally diametrically opposed auras actually started blending together in perfect harmony!


    Ye Yuan��s aura gradually converged into Empyrean Flutterfeather��s aura, while Empyrean Flutterfeather��s aura also slowly converged into Ye Yuan��s aura.


    It seemed like the two medicinal pills were going to fuse together!


    When the group of elders saw this scene, they could not help exchanging glances as they had never seen before such a scene.


    ��Aren��t they battling in alchemy? Why is it that when they fight until the end, the banners are lowered and the drums are silenced, shaking hands and burying the hatchet?�� Chen Yu said with a baffled look.


    ��What kind of situation is this?�� Chen Chang was similarly doubtful as he asked.


    The two auras were like two converging rivers, finally converging into the sea.


    Very soon, those two auras combined into one!


    An air billow spread out with the two people as the center, immediately sending the group of elders flying out.


    The two people��s medicinal cauldrons practically gave off a dazzling light at the same time.


    ��Condense!��


    ��Condense!��


    Right at this time, Empyrean Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan gave a sharp cry at the same time.


    That violent aura, countless energy, was recalled in an instant, entering the two medicinal cauldrons.


    The pill condensation succeeded!


    ��Haha! Feels great!�� Empyrean Flutterfeather��s hearty laughter reverberated in the great hall.


    Indeed, it had already been God knows how many years since Empyrean Flutterfeather had such a satisfactory fight.


    As an outstanding talent among Seven-star Alchemy Gods, not many people could become Empyrean Flutterfeather��s match at all.


    Ye Yuan was seeking an opponent that could match his strength with; so wasn��t he the same too?


    This battle was to his heart��s content.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    With the pill condensation succeeding, the Wandering Dragon Cauldron finally could not bear it, falling apart to pieces, turning into a pile of fine powder.


    It could be seen from this how horrifying the pill tribulation caused by the two people previously was, to actually turn a celestial deity mystic treasure to dust.


    Ye Yuan moved like lightning, keeping the medicinal pill into a small bottle that was prepared long ago.


    Done with all this, Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said to Empyrean Flutterfeather, ��Congratulations, Senior Flutterfeather!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was clearly in a great mood currently as he said smilingly, ��Thanks for your congratulations! Without you, this old man couldn��t have taken this step either!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Flutterfeather��s realm is already there. You were just lacking an opportunity. Now, success comes when the conditions are ripe. Felicitations!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather reached his hand out and beckoned, putting away the medicinal pill. Then, he pushed lightly, pushing the Xuanlong Cauldron in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��This Xuanlong Cauldron has followed this old man for several million years. Meeting you today, you definitely won��t ruin its reputation! I��ll give it to you,�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, directly keeping the Xuanlong Cauldron and said with clasped hands, ��Thank you, Senior Flutterfeather.��


    With a bout of alchemy battle, Ye Yuan naturally knew about Xuanlong Cauldron��s prowess.


    Under that horrifying pill tribulation, the Xuanlong Cauldron was actually unscathed; this could be seen at a glance.


    Far away, when everyone heard the two people��s conversation, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    What Ye Yuan was congratulating, they were naturally well aware.


    Especially Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people, their faces revealed a look of wild elation, practically about to jump up in happiness.


    ��Master, you �� you comprehended it?�� Zi Yu said rather incoherently.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather stroked his beard and said with a smile, ��Yes! Starting from today, master will begin closed-seclusion. So you all don��t disturb me. As of today, Ye Yuan will be the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder. All of you have to show the etiquette toward a senior, understood?��


    Everyone was stricken with fear, all bowing their heads in salute as they said, ��We obey Lord Flutterfeather��s dharmic decree!��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s figure moved, immediately disappearing from the great hall.


    The group of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders exchanged glances, akin to being lost in the clouds and mist.


    This battle, just who won?

 Chapter 1941 - End Spirit Divine Pill!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Etiquette toward a senior!


    These words were not just said to Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people, but it was also said to the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders that were present.


    These were all peak Six-star Alchemy Gods whose fame shakes a region. They actually had to carry out the etiquette of a disciple to a Five-star Alchemy God?


    If it were before, they would naturally be extremely unwilling to obey this command.


    But now, they had witnessed Ye Yuan��s strength, the group of elders did not have any complaints.


    Ye Yuan fought with Empyrean Flutterfeather until they were evenly matched in skill and strength.


    Furthermore, after Empyrean Flutterfeather had the alchemy battle with Ye Yuan, he actually gained enlightenment on Dao!


    Ancestor Realm!


    To alchemists, entering Ancestor Realm was their lifelong pursuit.


    As long as one was an alchemist, they would want to enter the Ancestor Realm even in their dreams!


    How difficult was it to enter the Ancestor Realm?


    It was even harder than entering the realm of Heavenly Emperor!


    In this Heavenspan World, there were still some Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. But how many Ancestor Realm powerhouses were there?


    Empyrean Flutterfeather taking this step was equivalent to embarking on the path of Great Dao that led to the heavens!


    Then, the Ye Yuan who could let Empyrean Flutterfeather take this step, how strong could his strength be?


    Ye Yuan��s current realm was still low, but no one out of all the people present doubted his future accomplishments!


    ��Lord Ye Yuan!�� The group of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders bowed in salute toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You��re all seniors, so there is no need to stand on ceremony like this.��


    Ye Yuan was modest, but how could they really dare to make light of Ye Yuan?


    In the future, wouldn��t Empyrean Flutterfeather still remove their heads to kick like a ball?


    But, unable to hold back his curiosity, Chen Chang still could not resist asking, ��Your Excellency, I wonder just who won and who lost in this alchemy battle?��


    Ye Yuan knew that these people were curious, but smiled and said, ��I lost!��


    Hearing this, everyone��s hearts eased up.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather gifting the Xuanlong Cauldron, they even thought that this battle, it was Empyrean Flutterfeather who lost.


    But even if Ye Yuan was defeated, no one present dared to underestimate him anymore.


    Seeing that Chen Chang still had a curious look on his face, Ye Yuan directly tossed the small bottle over and said with a smile, ��Today, Senior Flutterfeather and I battling in alchemy, only the few of you know the results. If someone divulges it, I won��t find trouble with you guys. But in the future, when Senior Flutterfeather comes out of seclusion, he��ll naturally come to find trouble with you guys.��


    When everyone heard that, they were shocked inwardly.


    Although this battle was Empyrean Flutterfeather��s win, Ye Yuan did not pale the slightest in comparison too.


    If it spread out, it would have a tremendous impact on Empyrean Flutterfeather��s reputation.


    Chen Chang received the small bottle, sunk his divine sense inside, and was immediately petrified.


    The other people��s hearts were itching unbearable and urged: ��Brother Chen, just how is it, say something!��


    Chen Chang was startled, passed the small bottle to Chen Yu, and muttered, ��You see for yourself.��


    Chen Yu was baffled. Receiving the small bottle and taking a look, he was immediately petrified.


    Everyone was rendered confused by these two, but they also knew that this Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill was definitely not ordinary.


    Passing it over one by one, they were petrified one after another.


    The expressions on their faces were fascinating to the extreme.


    When Zi Yu and Qing Yun two people saw this scene, they were stirred up by it until their hearts itched unbearably.


    Just what magical powers did this medicinal pill have, to make the group of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders behave like they saw a ghost?


    After the two of them saw the medicinal pill, their expressions became no different from the rest.


    ��End spirit divine-grade! Didn��t expect that this old man can actually see an end spirit divine pill in this lifetime! This life was truly not in vain!�� Suddenly, Chen Chang let out a long sigh.


    The other elders all nodded, clearly feeling the same as Chen Chang.


    That was right, the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill that Ye Yuan refined was precisely the extremely rare end spirit divine pill!


    The five realms above divine-grade, purple spirit, void spirit, vast spirit, end spirit, spiritlink, each realm was harder than the last.


    Vast spirit divine pills, one could still see it if they were lucky.


    But end spirit divine pills were almost extinct in the entire Heavenspan World too!


    Perhaps only Medicine Ancestor that level of powerhouse could refine end spirit divine pills.


    As for the legendary spiritlink divine pill, to Chen Chang they all, they did not even dare to think about it.


    Chen Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said in puzzlement, ��Your Excellency, you refined an end spirit divine pill, so why �� why did you still lose?��


    How hard was it to refine end spirit divine pills?


    To alchemists, it was even harder than breaking through to be a Heavenly Emperor!


    Ye Yuan refining an end spirit divine pill, that was simply sweeping across the world. He would actually still lose?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Because what Senior Flutterfeather refined is also an end spirit divine pills! Unfortunately, he saw another scenery in this alchemy battle, so �� his quality is slightly above mine.��


    Talking until here, Ye Yuan also revealed a trace of regret.


    In this battle, Ye Yuan naturally gleaned considerable gains too.


    That fleeting and ephemeral Ancestor Realm seemed to be a little clearer in front of Ye Yuan.


    Unfortunately, the time that Ye Yuan immersed in the grand completion Dao Realm this level was still too short. How could he compare to Empyrean Flutterfeather who already had half a foot stepped into the Ancestor Realm?


    But even so, he was also just a hair��s breadth worse, barely losing to Flutterfeather.


    The group of elders exchanged glances. They were incomparably shocked.


    They were clear in their hearts that although the alchemy battle this time was fair, there was a difference in the end.


    Xuanlong Cauldron��s quality was clearly far better than Wandering Dragon Cauldron.


    At the later stages, the Wandering Dragon Cauldron cracked apart. Ye Yuan maintained it from collapsing with tremendously strong control.


    In between this, he naturally had to expend considerable energy


    When refining pills, the difference of millimeters was as good as missing by a thousand miles. This kind of difference would naturally affect the final result.


    In addition, Flutterfeather was of an Empyrean��s body. In terms of divine essence thickness, in terms of divine soul��s might, in terms of pill refining experience, it was all far stronger than the young Ye Yuan.


    Under such a disparity, Ye Yuan only barely lost too.


    One could say that he had a moral victory!


    Of course, Ye Yuan would not find this sort of excuse for himself. Losing was losing, he could accept failure.


    The benefits of this alchemy battle to him far exceeded the significance of winning or losing.


    ��Your Excellency, that means �� you can always refine end spirit divine pills in the future?�� Chen Chang could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��How is that possible? When this alchemy battle reached the end, Senior Flutterfeather and my Alchemy Dao produced a resonance, merging into one body in the end. He nourished my medicinal pill with his Dao, I nourished his medicinal pill with my Dao. That is how the current results came to be. If let us refine again, it��s impossible to refine end spirit divine pills too.��


    Only when everyone heard that did they come to a realization.


    It turned out that at the final juncture, the two people actually turned from enemies into friends, complementing each other. That was how a miracle was created, refining the end spirit divine pills.


    ��


    A month passed in a twinkle, Ye Yuan finally came out of seclusion.


    During this one month��s time, Ye Yuan experienced that alchemy battle time and again, obtaining tremendous benefits.


    And this alchemy battle was also spread until it raised a babel of discussion in the city.


    But to the vast majority of the people, he naturally lost to Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    Although Ye Yuan displayed powerful strength, in front of Flutterfeather this Seven-star Alchemy God, he was still too unskilled.


    Toward this, Ye Yuan naturally did not care.


    His objective of coming to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was also achieved, he naturally planned on returning to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    ��Your Excellency, with your talent, staying in an imperial city is seriously too unworthy of your talents! Why don��t you remain in the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion?�� Chen Chang said.

 Chapter 1942 - Bai Chen Breaks Through!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Huhu, does Brother Chen feel that Senior Flutterfeather hope for me to stay or not?�� Ye Yuan looked at Chen Chang and answered with a question.


    A hint of uncertainty flashed across Chen Chang��s face, and he said, ��Yeah, fine talents and beautiful jades, Lord Flutterfeather shouldn��t let you go. But why ����


    ��Because he knows that I won��t say, so he naturally won��t open his mouth,�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Chen Chang was startled, suddenly discovering that he was somewhat meddlesome.


    How wise was Empyrean Flutterfeather? He naturally knew that Ye Yuan staying was an immensely good thing to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    But he did not open his mouth all the way until he went into closed-seclusion.


    Clearly, Empyrean Flutterfeather had long seen through Ye Yuan, knowing that he would not stay, so he also saved his breath.


    Opening his mouth would definitely ask for a rebuff, so why bother?


    ��Brother Chen, rest assured, even if I don��t stay, I��m also the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s elder. My relationship with Myriad Treasure Tower can��t be cut cleanly,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    ��


    Returning to Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan directly chose to go into closed-seclusion.


    He brought back a large pile of spirit medicines from the Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital and started to devote himself to researching the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.


    Experiencing a battle with Empyrean Flutterfeather, Ye Yuan had a deeper understanding of Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s inheritance, and his understanding of pill refinement also grew deeper.


    Although it did not reach the Ancestor Realm for the time being, his pill refining strength was more than a notch stronger than before.


    But even so, wanting to find the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill��s pill formula was absolutely not an easy thing too.


    Ye Yuan immersed inside the World Suppressing Stele��s space, deducing the pill formula daily, experimenting non-stop.


    On this day, the clouds and wind suddenly changed in the Martial Tower. Countless spiritual energy gathered over here.


    The entire city was alarmed!


    ��Such a large commotion, it seems like there��s someone going to break through!


    ��No way, right? What realm is he breaking through to, to actually cause such a big commotion? Even breaking through to the Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm also won��t be like this, right?��


    ��Even the Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm won��t have such a big commotion. Could it be �� the True God Realm?��


    ��


    Below the Martial Tower, the people jumped in fright from their own guesses.


    Everyone knew that there was currently only a peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouse in the city.


    Even Lord Ye Yuan was also merely at the Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm currently. In but a few days of closed-seclusion, could it be that he was breaking through to the True God Realm?


    But thinking about it, everyone also felt that there was nothing impossible.


    After all, anything happening to Ye Yuan did not seem to have any peculiarity.


    The commotion grew more and more massive. The people increasingly believed that this was breaking through to the True God Realm!


    No matter what, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City never had a True God Realm powerhouse be born before,


    Bai Tong had always been very low-profile and did not reveal himself outside. So the city still did not know that there was already a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse holding down the fort.


    Now, a True God Realm powerhouse actually appeared, this was an important matter that rocked the whole city!


    From today onward, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would also have a True God Realm holding down the fort.


    Finally, the storm passed, a figure slowly walked out of the Martial Tower.


    ��It��s him! It��s actually him! This �� How is this possible?��


    ��Isn��t that Lord Ye Yuan��s disciple, Bai Chen? Heard that he refined a celestial deity Dao Fruit, so how can he possibly break through to the True God Realm?��


    ��Could those all be rumors? How can people who refined celestial deity Dao Fruits possibly break through again?��


    ��


    There were no walls in the world without any cracks. The matter of Bai Chen refining a Dao Fruit was not a secret in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    After all, the people who followed Ye Yuan, even the likes of City Lord Zuo Shujie, their strength all advanced by leaps and bounds. Only Bai Chen��s strength never had any change.


    In the course of time, this rumor naturally became even more confirmed.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan destroyed a vast spirit Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill in front of Lin Changqing back then.


    If Bai Chen could break through to the True God Realm, Ye Yuan also would not possibly be so wasteful, right?


    But now, this person who refined a Dao Fruit, destined to never break through again in this lifetime, actually broke through!


    People thought of many kinds of possibilities and even guessed Leng Qiuling, Ning Tianping, and the rest. The only person they did not think of was Bai Chen.


    No one would have thought that Heavenly Eagle��s first True God Realm was actually Bai Chen!


    Bai Chen just broke through, so his realm was unstable. The aura of True God Realm on his body could not be concealed no matter what, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.


    For an imperial city, the deterrent force of a True God Realm powerhouse was too great.


    Everyone looked at the Bai Chen high up in the sky, all worshiping from the bottom of their hearts.


    Powerhouses were always respected by people.


    Bai Chen looked at the top of the Martial Tower. He could feel the idolizing hearts of the people below.


    At this moment, his heart became infinitely grand and heroic!


    ��AHHH!��


    Bai Chen could not hold back and let out a long cry.


    All along, the depression and pressure that was piling up in his heart were finally fully released at this moment.


    Mockery that was everywhere, disdain that was pervasive, finally dissipated into thin air at this moment!


    Bai Chen never dreamed that he would actually have a day where he could really break through to the True God Realm!


    Recalling back then, he was still just a puny little Grotto Profound martial artist.


    Who could have thought that a thousand years later, he could actually break through to the realm of True God! This was a realm that the powerhouses of the Heavenspan World yearned for in their sleep!


    And all this was bestowed by his master!


    His master really transformed the rotten into something magical. Even this kind of impossible thing, he accomplished it.


    Several figures rose to the air, flying toward Bai Chen.


    ��Haha, congratulations to Younger Brother Bai for breaking through to the True God Realm in one stroke, really envying us to death! I didn��t expect that His Excellency actually really succeeded!�� Ning Tianping clasped his hands and congratulated him.


    Ning Tianping had blind faith in Ye Yuan. But regarding this matter, he was still somewhat lacking in confidence.


    It was just that he did not expect Ye Yuan really accomplished it.


    The Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill could be said to have blazed another era!


    From now onward, refining Dao Fruits might become a shortcut of cultivation.


    To those martial artists who had already lost all hope, this was a tremendous glad tiding.


    The impact of this medicinal pill was too far-reaching. Ning Tianping was unable to imagine it.


    White Light, Zuo Shujie, Coldfeather, even Leng Qiuling and the rest of the Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses, all came up to give their felicitations.


    Bai Chen responded to them one by one, the gloominess in his heart swept away clean.


    ��


    Inside the secret chamber, Bai Tong sized Ye Yuan up with a strange look.


    ��Just what kind of freak are you? To actually be able to even figure out a pill formula like the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill! But next, how do you plan on handling this pill formula?�� Bai Tong asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��For the sake of the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, I expended considerable effort, I naturally have to use it to earn more. I plan on letting the Myriad Treasure Tower act as my representative to sell the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill and split the profits with them. After all, doing business this kind of thing isn��t what I��m skilled in.��


    Bai Tong nodded and said, ��That��s for the best! But once this Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill comes into being, most likely, the Heavenspan World��s various major forces will all go crazy for it! You and the Myriad Treasure Tower will be hauling in huge profits this time.��


    Ye Yuan was also proud of himself. For this Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill to be able to be developed, he also felt very honored himself.


    After all, this medicinal pill was unprecedented!


    ��Heh heh, I��ve already passed the news to the Myriad Treasure Tower. Before this, I should also break through!��


    As he said this, Ye Yuan took out a small bottle.


    Inside the bottle was precisely the end spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill!

 Chapter 1943 - Roaring Into Existence

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This is impossible!��


    Inside the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion, when several Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders listened entirely the news that Chen Chang brought, their first reaction was that it was impossible.


    ��Brother Chen, did you make a mistake? How can there possibly be someone in this world who developed a medicinal pill that lets martial artists who refined Dao Fruits continue cultivating?�� Chen Yu said.


    ��Yeah, this is also too ludicrous! People who refined Dao Fruits can��t cultivate. This is an iron-clad law. So how can someone possibly break it?�� said another elder.


    All in all, everyone refused to believe it. This kind of thing was seriously too absurd to the ear.


    Chen Chang smiled bitterly and said, ��Not hiding from everyone, but when this old man got this news a few days ago, my reaction when I just saw it was exactly the same as yours! But this old man confirmed the intel over and over again. I absolutely didn��t see wrongly. That��s why I convened everyone to discuss it. Furthermore, Lord Ye��s disciple, Bai Chen, already broke through to the True God Realm after consuming the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.��


    Hearing this, everyone��s faces changed abruptly, all falling silent.


    A disciple who consumed a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit followed by Ye Yuan��s side. They were aware of it.


    Now, he actually broke through to True God Realm?


    This news was simply a bolt out of the blue!


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders present were all scheming and farsighted people.


    They were naturally clear about it. If the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill was announced to the world, they clearly know how big of a commotion it would cause, and also how massive a profit it would bring to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    In the Heavenspan World, encountering Dao Fruits was indeed an extremely difficult thing.


    But that was relative to the extremely massive martial artist population.


    Since ancient times, how many powerhouses had fallen and how many powerhouses rose up?


    It could not even be counted clearly!


    Some Dao Fruits slowly dissipated along with the passage of time.


    But some Dao Fruits were obtained and consumed by present powerhouses.


    There were even some major factions who preserved many Dao Fruits in their inventory, using it to reward disciples under them who had no hopes of breaking through.


    To a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, Celestial Deity Dao Fruits were no big deal. They even had quite a number of True God Dao Fruits.


    These Dao Fruits originally did not have much use to Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas.


    But the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill��s appearance would let the value of these Dao Fruits increase several times over.


    A disciple who did not reach Divine Lord Realm, as long as they let him swallow a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, they could let him grow into a peak Celestial Deity powerhouse in a few hundred, even within several dozen years!


    This way, how much cultivation time would it save?


    ��If this matter is real, our Myriad Treasure Tower shall become a major force at the peak of power and influence in the entire Heavenspan World! The function of this rank five divine pill is a little small, but once this Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill is released, the significance is too great. When Lord Ye breaks through to the True God Realm and develops the rank six divine pill, then it will be able to directly groom True God powerhouses! This �� Even thinking about it is frightening!�� Chen Yu said with a look of astonishment.


    The Celestial Deity Realm was no big deal with Heavenly Emperor factions.


    But reaching the True God Realm, that was different.


    Even for Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, True God Realm powerhouses were also not existences that could be overlooked.


    After all, reaching Empyrean this level, those were all powerhouses whose name shook a region already. They were not willing to be subordinate to any Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    Either they occupied a great imperial capital and crowned themselves as kings or they would become itinerant cultivators, seeking opportunities to climb to the summit of Great Dao.


    Being able to nurture a True God Realm within a few hundred to a thousand years, this speed was simply terrifying!


    More importantly, he could still continue cultivating in the future.


    Saving several tens of thousand years of cultivation time, the chance of stepping into Empyrean would also be much greater!


    Chen Chang said, ��The implications of this matter are too serious. Lord Flutterfeather is currently in closed-seclusion right now, so we can��t arbitrarily make the decision. My intention is to highlight this matter to Lord Myriad Treasure and let his elderly self make a final decision.��


    Chen Yu nodded when he heard that and said, ��Indeed, once this matter spreads out, that��s facing the entire Heavenspan World! Our tiny little Alchemy Celestial Pavilion can��t bear this kind of heavy burden.��


    ��


    Inside a remote imperial city��s secret chamber, an old man emitting a rotting scent suddenly snapped open both eyes.


    ��Hahaha! Truly, heaven doesn��t want me to perish! I really didn��t expect that there��s actually someone capable of refining a miraculous medicinal pill like the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill. Back then, when I swallowed the Dao Fruit, I thought that there wouldn��t be the possibility of cultivating again in this lifetime. I didn��t expect that I could actually still wait it out! With my accumulations, as long as I can cultivate again, I��ll definitely be able to break through to the True God Realm in one stroke! This time, this old man has to buy the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill at all costs!��


    When the old man got the news of the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, his entire person fell into madness.


    Very soon, he gave the orders to check all of the imperial city��s reserves and went to the Myriad Treasure Tower to purchase the medicinal pill.


    ��


    Inside an imperial capital, two Celestial Deity Realm youngsters were currently standing opposite each other.


    One of them said with a look of shock, ��How come you cultivated so quickly? A few days ago, you were clearly just First Firmament Celestial Deity!��


    The other person laughed loudly and said, ��I swallowed a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit. With my talent, I��ll be able to break through to become a Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity before long! Weren��t you always very cocky, feeling that your cultivation speed is fast?��


    When the other party heard that, his alarm and horror became mockery as he said, ��Fool, you actually refined a Celestial Deity Dao Fruit in order to surpass me, really foolish! You won��t have the chance to break through to True God Realm in this lifetime anymore!��


    ��Heh heh, the stupid one is you! My father already bought the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill from the Myriad Treasure Tower. As long as one consumes this divine medicine, they can cultivate all the same after refining a Dao Fruit! But you don��t need to give it any further thought. There��s only this one pill in the entire imperial capital. It was already bought by my father! Hahaha!��


    When the other party heard this, he immediately had a stunned face.


    ��


    The network of the Myriad Treasure Tower was indeed very vast. Once the news spread out, the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill immediately swept throughout the entire Heavenspan World like a fierce gale.


    The Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill roaring into existence immediately let everyone realize the incredible aspect of this medicinal pill.


    The various major forces started snatching Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pills frenziedly.


    Furthermore, the medicinal pills were all refined by Ye Yuan. The quality was all extremely high; all were above divine-grade.


    Hence, the price of the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pills was set to be extremely high.


    But even so, it was still hard to request for a single pill.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was only one person. Even if he refined day and night, it was also impossible to satisfy the entire Heavenspan World��s demand.


    Of course, the Myriad Treasure Tower did not plan on satisfying the entire Heavenspan World��s demand either.


    The logic of rare commodities being sold at a high price was something they all knew. So how could the Myriad Treasure Tower, these business experts, not know it?


    In many places, the price of one Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill was even hiked up to a sky-high price.


    Even the prices of some extremely high-quality rank six divine pills could not compare to the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.


    Firstly, the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined, the quality was superb. No one else could refine it.


    Secondly, one medicinal pill could save thousands, even tens of thousands of years of cultivation time. So who would not be willing to buy one?


    How much divine essence stones could be earned in the time saved, and also what realm could be cultivated until?


    This matter, as long as one was not a fool, they would know how to calculate it!


    Therefore, the Myriad Treasure Tower had its fame soared unprecedentedly in the entire Heavenspan World because of a Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.

 Chapter 1944 - Nirvanic Tribulation

    Inside the secret chamber, Ye Yuan opened the small bottle lightly.


    A medicinal fragrance that gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind instantly filled the entire secret chamber.


    ��End spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill �� I reckon that it��s still unable to let me reach the perfect sixth transformation golden body. If I add in the true dragon��s blood, I wonder if I can achieve it or not.��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, swallowing the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill in one gulp.


    When the medicinal pill entered his abdomen, Ye Yuan��s both eyes suddenly went wide, an intense pain spreading throughout his whole body instantly, all the way to the top of his head.


    Ye Yuan contorted his face in pain as he muttered to himself, ��Indeed well-deserving of being the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill, remolding the physical body, nirvanic rebirth!��


    Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill was renowned for the two words, ��Thousand Tribulation��.


    Swallowing this pill was equivalent to suffering a thousand tribulations, overwhelming to the extent where one wished that they were dead.


    Even peak five transformation golden body powerhouses also would not dare to swallow this kind of strong medicinal pill without careful consideration.


    A momentary slip-up and it was the outcome of perishing, one��s Dao dissipating.


    Peak five transformation powerhouses, their fleshy bodies rivaled peak celestial deity mystic treasures. It could be seen how powerful their physical bodies were.


    But even so, they might not be able to withstand the medicinal impact of this Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill too.


    This pill was too fierce.


    Of course, the medicinal effect was also extremely strong.


    And the end spirit divine pill that Ye Yuan consumed was specially prepared for himself by him too.


    It was just that even he did not expect that he actually refined an end spirit Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill.


    Cultivation techniques had differences in power. Martial artists in the same realm, the purity of divine essence was different, the power of the martial techniques displayed was also not necessarily the same.


    The Nine Transformations Golden Body was similarly like so.


    But each transformation of the Nine Transformations Golden Body had a legendary level ��- perfect grade!


    Nine Transformations Golden Body, each transformation was equivalent to a nirvanic birth.


    Rumor had it that when this Nine Transformations Golden Body was created back then, it was a life and death calamity.


    Martial artists needed to shatter the physical body and absorb the power of Heavenly Dao to remold their golden body!


    This was a very dangerous cultivation method. It was naturally also a cultivation method with tremendous power.


    Except, this cultivation method of nine cycles of nirvanic rebirth was too dangerous. The death rate was extremely high.


    Furthermore, the higher the number of transformations, the more perilous it got.


    Reaching the sixth or seventh transformation, there were basically very few people who could pull through.


    As for the eighth transformation, the realm of Heavenly Emperor, those able to reach it were even rarer.


    Later on, people gradually found the nine transformations method that did not need a nirvanic rebirth.


    This method sought after what was less attractive than the original choice, but could also obtain powerful strength.


    It was just that compared to the perfect golden body, it was clearly much worse.


    Ye Yuan only obtained this cultivation method from his true dragon memories after breaking through to the fifth transformation too.


    ��True Dragon Dharma Body�� this cultivation method was the dragon race��s supreme cultivation method. It was just that the perfect golden body��s cultivation method was not mentioned in the method previously[1].


    It was only comprehended after Ye Yuan reached the fifth transformation.


    ��Ye Yuan, you have to think clearly. Your disciples hid this cultivation method because they were afraid that future generations of disciples lose their lives from cultivating carelessly. Furthermore, you never tempered before a perfect golden body before the fifth transformation. This sixth transformation, you��ll have to transcend the previous five tribulations one after another at the same time!�� Dustless urged.


    Ye Yuan broke out in cold sweat. Gritting his teeth, he said, ��Great Dao is difficult! If one doesn��t even have a heart that seeks Dao, why talk about climbing to the summit?��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan took out the jade bottle and poured all of the true dragon��s blood into his mouth.


    Bang!


    The berserk to the extreme energy instantly exploded within Ye Yuan��s body.


    The Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill and Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill��s horrifying energy mixed together, practically about to burst Ye Yuan��s physical body apart.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and started circulating according to the perfect golden body technique recorded into the True Dragon Dharma Body.


    Ye Yuan kept sucking in cold air from pain and already could not even cry out.


    He was revolving the cultivation method with a powerful will.


    The Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill indeed lived up to its reputation.


    Ye Yuan felt like he had already died no idea how many times.


    Those life and death tribulations experienced in the past appeared so feeble in front of the one this time.


    ��Ahh! My hand!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan screamed miserably.


    It was only to see the muscles on his hands actually dissipate inch by inch, leaving behind just white bines.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan was only left with a golden skeleton, looking incomparably sinister.


    Under this kind of agony, Ye Yuan��s divine soul was virtually being torn apart.


    If not for the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s power, Ye Yuan would likely have his soul disintegrate already.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this nirvanic tribulation was actually so terrifying.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan��s golden bones also fragmented, turning into a powder state like it was weathered.


    Logically speaking, the current Ye Yuan already disappeared without a trace and should not feel pain.


    But his pain did not diminish the slightest bit and became stronger instead.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was very clear, he could feel the medicinal effects of the Thousand Tribulation Chaos Essence Pill starting to take effect.


    Each of his bone marrow was being remolded!


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan felt those weathered bones pieced together again, forming into a human-shaped skeleton.


    Following that, flesh and blood started growing on the skeleton.


    A living Ye Yuan reappeared.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, his entire person feeling like he already died once.


    ��Huuu �� this is nirvanic tribulation? It��s also too frightening!�� Ye Yuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with lingering fear in his heart.


    But Ye Yuan could feel that his physical body was indeed much stronger than before.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s face changed. An even more intense pain rushed over as raging as tidal water.


    His physical body dissipated once more!


    Ye Yuan knew that the second nirvanic tribulation was about to start!


    Ye Yuan was clear that he still had to go through it five more times at the back.


    Furthermore, each one was more painful than the last, and each more dangerous than the last.


    ��


    Just as Ye Yuan was walking along the borders of life and death, as long as several years already passed in the outside world.


    Before closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan concentrated on refining a batch of Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pills, then washed his hands off it.


    On this day, above Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s sky, a horrifying aura suddenly descended.


    In the city, Bai Chen��s expression changed, immediately flying up to meet that aura.


    ��Who is your esteemed self? I wonder what you came to my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City for?��


    This person in front of him had black gas revolving around, the evil energy on his body extremely heavy. Furthermore, his aura was not weak, Bai Chen did not dare to slight him.


    ��You��re that kid who ate the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill and broke through to True God Realm, right? I didn��t expect that the rumors were actually true. People who swallowed Dao Fruits can actually really cultivate further!�� The person in black sized Bai Chen up and clicked his tongue in wonder.


    Bai Chen was startled inwardly and said with a frown, ��I don��t understand what you��re talking about! We��re just a tiny little imperial city. Where is there any Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill?��


    Ye Yuan collaborating with the Myriad Treasure Tower, they only said to the outside world that this medicinal pill was refined by the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Heavenly Eagle was merely a tiny little imperial city, it had no ability to protect the pill formula at all.


    Once observant and conscientious people cast covetous eyes on it, it naturally could not avoid trouble.


    It was just that Bai Chen did not expect that this person in black actually still came!


    The man in black chuckled and said, ��Kid, stop pretending. Our Deathsoul Gate got the intel that this medicinal pill is refined by a punk called Ye Yuan. That punk should be your master, right? Call him out! Otherwise, don��t blame me for going on a killing spree!��


    [1] Not sure if this is a different method from Heavenly Dragon Dharma Body, or author remembered wrongly and keyed in the wrong name.

 Chapter 1945 - Crushed!

    ��Deathsoul Gate?�� Bai Chen��s brows furrowed, clearly never heard of this name before.


    But below, Leng Qiuling��s expression instantly became deathly pale.


    ��Bai Chen, this Deathsoul Gate is notorious in the Heavenspan World; raping and looting, committing arson and murder, their evil doings knows no limits. Ordinary martial artists tremble with fear when they see them. This Deathsoul Gate is incomparably mysterious, no one knows where they are hiding at. But places that they pass through is like locusts passing through, the people will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.��


    Leng Qiuling��s voice transmission made Bai Chen��s expression changed.


    ��Heh heh, looks like there are still some knowledgeable people in this city. You already know that my Deathsoul Gate isn��t to be trifled with. Hurry up and call Ye Yuan out. Otherwise, don��t blame me for not being courteous,�� said the black-clothed man.


    ��Master has already been in seclusion for several years and isn��t able to meet you. If you want to request for pills, come again after some time,�� Bai Chen��s expression was slightly dark as he said.


    The black-clothed man gave a cold laugh and said, ��People that my Deathsoul Gate wants to see, even if he��s inside a coffin, he��ll also have to come out!��


    That appearance was incomparably arrogant, not taking Bai Chen, this True God Realm, seriously at all.


    Bai Chen��s brows furrowed and his tone also became cold as he said, ��Disturbing people��s closed-seclusion is akin to killing their parents! Your esteem self is a little too overbearing!��


    But the black-clothed man said in derision, ��Killing people��s parents, I, Mo Qing, have done it no idea how many times! What��s the harm in killing one more time? Since he��s not coming out, then I��ll kill until he comes out, starting from you!��


    Finished talking, Mo Qing released his aura. The world power of a True God Realm suddenly released, clouds of black energy coiling up, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.


    ��Peak First Firmament True God!�� Bai Chen��s expression changed as he cried out in surprise.


    He broke through to the True God Realm for less than 10 years and just barely managed to stabilize his realm.


    It was clearly somewhat taxing to deal with this Mo Qing.


    The disparity of a minor realm of True God Realm was even greater than Celestial Deity Realm.


    Even within the same small realm, the gap would also be massive.


    ��Je je, just the likes of you, this little baby who just entered the True God Realm, also dare to oppose me? Five Ghosts Open Gate!��


    Mo Qing spread out both hands, five skulls flew out of his sleeves, turning into five streams of flowing light and flowing over toward Bai Chen.


    Bai Chen��s face fell, a pitch-black long spear suddenly appeared in his hand.


    This long spear was a middle-grade true god mystic treasure that Ye Yuan spent a huge price to get for him when at the Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    With a spear in his hands, Bai Chen��s entire imposing aura suddenly erupted.


    The five skulls emitted sobbing sounds, lingering around Bai Chen��s ears.


    Bai Chen was alarmed inwardly and hurriedly revolved his state of mind, wanting to resist this voice that struck the divine soul directly.


    But, the noise that these five skulls emitted seemed to be magical, making him unable to focus.


    Bai Chen was unresigned to fold his arms and wait for death, the tip of the spear shook, world power suddenly unfurling.


    That bone-infesting sound immediately diminished significantly.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Spear unleashing like rain, Bai Chen��s spear danced impenetrably, not giving the five skulls any chance.


    Mo Qing gave a cold snort and said, ��Brat, what capability does it count as to rely on the advantage of weapons! Since you want to court death, then I��ll send you off!��


    Finished talking, the spell in his hand changed. The five skulls actually opened their mouths one after another, spitting out wisps of black fog towards Bai Chen.


    Bai Chen��s expression changed greatly, immediately feeling like his spear technique sunk into a bog.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The five skulls were connected in heart and mind, under Mo Qing��s control, there was virtually no dead angles.


    ��Netherworld Five Ghosts Slaughter!��


    The speed of those five skulls suddenly became incomparably fast. Bai Chen��s two eyes could not keep up at all.


    Bang!


    It was only to hear a loud bang. A skull directly breached Bai Chen��s world domain, smashing onto his protective divine essence, smashing him flying out.


    Bai Chen tasted sweetness in his throat, spurting out a mouthful of blood.


    Except, it was not over yet.


    Those five skulls all arrived in quick succession, not giving him the slightest time to catch his breath at all. They were actually going to drive him to his death!


    Bang!


    Another blow, Bai Chen felt like his entire chest was rupturing.


    Even if he had the advantage in weapons, he was still not this Mo Qing��s match!


    In the city, inside the Martial Tower, Bai Tong let out a slight sigh, his figure about to dash out.


    It was naturally impossible for him to watch Bai Chen get killed by the other party.


    But right at this time, a voice came over.


    ��No need, let me!��


    Bai Tong��s gaze turned sharp, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    In the city, everyone looked high up at the sky, anxious looks on their faces.


    This Deathsoul Gate��s True God Realm powerhouse was too strong. Bai Chen who just entered the True God Realm was not his match at all.


    Right at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Bai Chen.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan threw a punch casually, directly sending the five skulls scattering everywhere.


    When Bai Chen saw Ye Yuan, he said with a look of pleasant surprise, ��Master, you finally came out of seclusion!��


    Ye Yuan turned around and said, ��Swap with me. You go and rest.��


    When Bai Chen saw Ye Yuan, his two eyes became wide-saucers as he said in surprise,


    ��Master, you �� you ����


    The current Ye Yuan was much taller, face as fair as jade, skin like condensed snow, valiant and heroic in bearing, looking like he returned to 17 or 18 years old, like he returned to boyhood from old age.


    The present Ye Yuan was absolutely a handsome to the extreme pretty boy.


    If not for that the contour profile of the face was still similar to Ye Yuan, Bai Chen virtually did not dare to recognize him.


    Below, when everyone saw Ye Yuan��s face, each and every one of them was also incredibly surprised.


    ��Eh �� did His Excellency also cultivate Senior Bai Tong��s cultivation method, returning to boyhood from old age?��


    ��Tsk tsk, Lord Ye Yuan��s current face is really handsome until it makes people despair!��


    ��You look at those female cultivators, each and every one of them are becoming love-crazed!��


    ��


    They did not know why Ye Yuan would have such a big change when he came out of seclusion this time.


    They were even more unaware of how terrifying of an agony Ye Yuan suffered to be able to have his current transformation.


    Only the Bai Tong inside the Martial Tower, his face revealed an astonished look.


    He knew that Ye Yuan succeeded!


    The current Ye Yuan looked just like a tender youth who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, looking harmless to man and beast.


    No matter how one looked, Ye Yuan was like a scholar without the strength to bind a chicken.


    But Bai Tong knew that Ye Yuan returned to his original simplicity!


    His physical body was already cultivated to a flawless realm, all of his power fused into the bones and muscles.


    Unassuming if not released, astonishing people once it was unleashed!


    ��You��re Ye Yuan? Looks very weak! Boy, take a trip with me!�� Mo Qing looked at Ye Yuan and asked coolly.


    The realm that Ye Yuan currently displayed was just Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    In Mo Qing��s view, it was naturally too weak.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly disappeared on the spot. Mo Qing��s two eyes went wide, his hair standing on end, a feeling of incredible danger welled up in his heart.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly summoned the five ghosts and compressed world power to the limit.


    Bang!


    Mo Qing��s figure immediately flew several miles away.


    The five skulls directly fell apart to pieces, shattering into a pile of dust.


    Mo Qing barely managed to stabilize his figure. Looking at Ye Yuan like he saw a ghost, he said in horror: ��What powerful fleshy body strength! You �� You��re at the sixth transformation golden body? No, wait, even if it��s the sixth transformation golden body, it��s also impossible to shatter my Five Ghosts Open Gate with one punch!��


    ��Injured my disciples, you �� are courting death!�� Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him as he said coldly.

 Chapter 1946 - Lurking

    Five Ghosts Open Gate was the true god mystic treasure that Mo Qing sanctified.


    Even if it was inferior to the long spear in Bai Chen��s hand, it absolutely could not be shattered by one punch too.


    Sixth transformation golden body martial artists, just the fleshy body was comparable to mystic treasures. But to say shattering with one punch, that was absolutely impossible.


    But what was going on with this fellow in front of him?


    This young man before his eyes was not to be trifled with!


    Swoosh!


    How could Mo Qing still dare to stay? He turned around and ran, his figure instantly shuttling into the void.


    But his figure had just moved when a figure blocked in front of him.


    It was precisely Ye Yuan!


    Mo Qing��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��S-Spatial shift! Who �� Who on earth are you?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said calmly, ��You came to find me. Didn��t you inquire about who I am?��


    Mo Qing had a panic-stricken face, gritted his teeth, and said, ��I��m a member of the Deathsoul Gate! If you dare to kill me, it��s becoming enemies with the Deathsoul Gate!��


    ��Deathsoul Gate? Never heard before! Die.��


    Ye Yuan slammed a fist out calmly, the entire space solidified.


    Even if Mo Qing wanted to escape, he could not escape either.


    His world power, his protective divine essence, could not even block for a moment under this one punch, directly collapsing.


    Bang!


    Mo Qing��s entire person directly exploded, turning into a burst of blood rain.


    A peak First Firmament True God powerhouse directly died under Ye Yuan��s one punch.


    ��So strong! A peak First Firmament True God powerhouse, Lord Ye Yuan crushed him with one punch!��


    ��He didn��t employ any divine essence. This should be the power of the fleshy body. Lord Ye Yuan should have broken through to the sixth transformation golden body!��


    ��But is a sixth transformation golden body so strong? Those skulls should be a true god mystic treasure, right? His Excellency shattered them with one punch, truly terrifying!��


    ��


    Everyone looked at how Ye Yuan was like a god of war, all shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    In just a short few years of closed-seclusion, the moment he came out, he disposed of a True God powerhouse.


    Indeed well-deserving of being Lord Ye Yuan!


    Looking at his fist, Ye Yuan was rather satisfied.


    ��Possessing this kind of power, these few years of suffering was also not in vain.��


    These six nirvanic tribulations, Ye Yuan took eight years to transcend them.


    During these eight years, Ye Yuan walked along the borders of life and death every minute and second.


    That feeling was akin to touring the 18 levels of hell, the blade mountain, fire sea, oil bath, so on and so forth.


    This kind of torment, Ye Yuan��s scalp still tingled when he recalled it now.


    He also finally understood why the dragon race��s founding ancestor would seal these memories to after rank five.


    Nirvanic tribulation was really not what ordinary people could transcend.


    Especially the last one, the sixth nirvanic tribulation, Ye Yuan almost could not endure it quite a number of times.


    In the end, he still relied on powerful willpower and forcibly held out.


    ��Ye Yuan, you were a little impulsive this time. The Deathsoul Gate is famed for being hard to entangle with in the Heavenspan World, specialized in doing some murder and arson acts, and is also the Heavenspan World��s largest assassin organization. This faction��s powerhouses are countless and have already existed for god knows how many years. Furthermore, it��s said that its creator was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. You killed a member of the Deathsoul Gate now, so you have to be careful of their revenge,�� Dustless warned.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his brows also furrowed slightly.


    He had really never heard of Deathsoul Gate this name before, but hearing the meaning in Dustless��s words, he had no choice but to guard against.


    Originally planned on making use of the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill to earn more money, but did not expect to cause such a storm.


    However, even if he knew the Deathsoul Gate��s prowess, it was also absolutely impossible to let Mo Qing leave.


    ��I got it. Looks like we still have to make some preparations,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��


    Inside a hidden chamber underground of an inn in Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, more than a dozen black lotuses were placed.


    Suddenly, a black lotus right at the end suddenly fell apart.


    The black shadow inside the secret chamber was abruptly startled and muttered to himself, ��Mo Qing actually died? Shouldn��t be! Heavenly Eagle Imperial City only has a newly-ascended True God Realm, so how can he possibly be Mo Qing��s match? Even if he��s really not a match, it��s also impossible to not even be able to escape, right?��


    No one would have thought that this inconspicuous little inn was actually a branch of the Deathsoul Gate.


    And those dozen over black lotuses represented more than a dozen True God Realm powerhouses.


    If City Lord Yu Wenfeng knew that there were actually so many True God powerhouses under his rule, he would definitely be uneasy even when sleeping.


    The black shadow paced back and forth. Suddenly, the seals in his hand changed erratically, finally turning into several streaks of black threads, concealing into the void.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Very soon, several figures flew into the underground secret chamber.


    ��Chief!��


    After the few people entered, they bowed down towards that black shadow.


    The black shadow sat down, made a sound of acknowledgement, and said, ��A mission came from upstairs, saying that we must capture the Southridge Patrolling Inspector Ye Yuan alive. I sent Mo Qing over, but �� he died!��


    ��Mo Qing this fool, he had always thought of himself as infallible. Dying was also a matter of time,�� one of the people said.


    Another person said, ��Your Excellency calling us here, could it be to have us take action together?��


    The black shadow said coolly, ��Yes, Ye Yuan this boy can��t be underestimated, he always has unexpected means. This time, the five of you go together, Lu Xin assumes personal command, the four of you join hands. Additionally, bring over Traceless Spatial Lock. This boy��s spatial law is remarkable, you all have to ensure that it cannot fail under any circumstances before you can take action, understood?��


    When the five people heard that, they were all extremely surprised.


    Lu Xin frowned and said, ��Your Excellency, it��s just capturing a puny little Celestial Deity Realm. Isn��t it making a mountain out of a mole hill? Even without using Traceless Spatial Lock, the five of us joining hands, could it be that he could still escape?��


    The black shadow waved his hand and said, ��This is the person that the people upstairs want. So matter how highly we regard him, it��s not over the top. Furthermore, Mo Qing is already dead. To be able to kill off a True God Realm without a sound, it��s hard to guarantee that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn��t have any contingencies. Once any slip-ups occur, you and I can��t shoulder it! Do it according to my words, if you fail, carry your head back to see me!��


    The five people were slightly fearful in their hearts and no longer dared to be negligent.


    ��Yes, Your Excellency!��


    ��


    The five people receiving the mission, broke it down into its elements, and quietly sneaked into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    The Deathsoul Gate��s disguising and concealing techniques were extremely skillful. On the surface, Lu Xin five people were merely very ordinary Divine Lord Realm martial artists.


    The present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Divine Lord Realm martial artists were everywhere on the streets, it was nothing at all.


    The five people were extremely patient. This lurk became half a year long.


    On this day, the five people gathered together in an unassuming commoner��s residence.


    Upon entering the door, one of the assassins, Xu Mao, said unhappily, ��Mo Qing was really a stupid pig, acting rashly and alerting the enemy. Now, just great! That kid doesn��t leave the City Lord Manor at all. We can��t find the opportunity to act at all!��


    Inside the City Lord Manor would normally be laid down with a lot of restrictions.


    Even people very skillful in spatial law would also find it very hard to sneak inside without a sound.


    The few people were veteran assassins. But Ye Yuan huddling up in his shell like a turtle, they could not do anything either.


    ��Alright, he��s already dead. What��s the use of you complaining about him? But, this Ye Yuan kid is truly incredible, to actually be able to develop such a heaven-defying medicinal pill. It��s also no wonder that the people upstairs want to capture him alive,�� said another assassin.


    At this time, the Lu Xin who was silent all along opened his mouth and said, ��Since he��s not coming out, then we��ll go in.��

 Chapter 1947 - Penetrating Insight

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Your Excellency, the Cloudmoon Imperial City��s envoy team has arrived and are currently requesting an audience outside,�� Ning Tianping reported.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Let them come in. The Cloudmoon Imperial City and the Myriad Treasure Tower have very deep connections. I can��t shirk responsibility either. Furthermore, the city lord came to visit in person, so it��s also considered giving us sufficient face.��


    Ning Tianping said, ��Your Excellency, this sort of thing, wouldn��t it do to let City Lord Zuo go and handle it? Why is there a need to welcome personally?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s cooling to have your back against a large tree! I naturally don��t need to give face to anyone but myself. But the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is hard to defend just based on my power alone. With a Heavenly Emperor faction as a backer, it would naturally be much safer.��


    When Ning Tianping heard that, he was filled with deep respect in his heart.


    In his eyes, city lords were mostly selfish and sought personal gain, fleecing the blood and sweat of martial artists.


    But Ye Yuan was different. His nature was uninhibited, and he did not like to be constrained by an identity like a patrolling inspector.


    But in order to protect the people around him, he continuously let Heavenly Eagle develop and strengthen, and even made friends with a major force like the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Encountering this sort of thing, one could only compromise out of consideration for the general interest too.


    Ning Tianping was clear that with Ye Yuan��s character, he was actually unwilling to bother with this kind of mundane affairs.


    After Ning Tianping withdrew, a group of people walked in after a while.


    The person at the front was a middle-aged man, having Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity cultivation, being the strongest person among the party.


    When that person saw Ye Yuan, he immediately cupped his fists and said with a big laugh, ��I��ve long heard that Master Ye has achieved your ambitions while young. Upon meeting today, you��re indeed extraordinary!��


    Ye Yuan also clasped his hands and said smilingly, ��City Lord Xu Guang has an extraordinary presence and isn��t a common person. Breaking through to become a True God is right around the corner. Come, come, come! Sit down and talk.��


    Everyone sat down as host and guest. Ye Yuan said, ��The medicinal pills that City Lord Xu Guang is asking for, this Ye will refine them as quickly as possible. I��ll have to trouble you to wait patiently for two days.��


    Xu Guang laughed loudly and said, ��No rush, no rush. I know that Master Ye��s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled under the heavens, why would I be in a hurry? This Xu knows that it��s not easy to request for Master Ye to take action and naturally can��t treat you shabbily. I have a precious treasure here. Master Ye, please take a look.��


    Ye Yuan nodded with a smile as he said, ��Oh? City Lord Xu said it so solemnly, then this Ye really have to take a look. Tianping, give the orders; let City Lord Xu they all prepare a banquet and treat City Lord Xu��s party cordially.��


    Ning Tianping was somewhat puzzled, but still acknowledged it and withdrew.


    Xu Guang took out a tiny tray with a smile. Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, immediately feeling the extraordinariness of this tray. It was actually a true god mystic treasure!


    ��Master Ye, this treasure is called �� Traceless Spatial Lock!��


    As Xu Guang said, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, everything became blurry.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly and did not reveal an overly surprised expression.


    Xu Guang was still all smiles as he said, ��Once it activates, the surrounding space will be locked! The people outside can��t enter, the people inside �� can��t go out! Heh heh, Master Ye, are you going to submit obediently, or do you want the few of us brothers to take action?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Xu Guang and said indifferently, ��The few of you are members of Deathsoul Gate?��


    Xu Guang��s expression changed slightly and said, ��How did you know?��


    Ye Yuan looked at ��Xu Guang�� and said indifferently, ��Your disguise is indeed pretty good, unfortunately �� it can��t deceive my eyes. To have such attainments in the art of disguising, apart from the Deathsoul Gate, I can��t think of others.��


    Having cultivated the perfect sixth transformation golden body, the benefits that Ye Yuan obtained was tremendous.


    This time, Ye Yuan cleansed his marrows and remolded his fleshy body, his visual prowess also obtained a massive improvement.


    Furthermore, the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had followed Ye Yuan for a long time, making use of Ye Yuan��s perfect visual strength, the power increased by more than a magnitude.


    Presently, using fiery golden eyes to describe Ye Yuan��s visual strength was also not overboard1.


    The moment ��Xu Guang�� and the rest entered, they were seen through by Ye Yuan.


    This party was precisely the five assassins sent out by the Deathsoul Gate.


    And ��Xu Guang�� was precisely the Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse, Lu Xin.


    Lu Xin looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze revealing an uncertain look. But very soon, he felt at ease and opened his mouth and said, ��Everyone says that Master Ye��s high morality reaches the clouds and values the people around him very highly; it��s indeed true! You saw through us, but you sent away that Ning Family��s brat. Looks like you��re afraid of accidentally hurting him.��


    Ye Yuan was silent, considered to have acquiesced to it.


    The Deathsoul Gate sent a First Firmament True God last time. This time, they would naturally be stronger than last time.


    Ning Tianping being here, he did not have the confidence in ensuring his safety.


    ��Heh heh, looks like you already have the awareness and plan on making a trip with us?�� Lu Xin said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan said calmly, ��You guys want to capture me back to refine pills for you all?��


    Lu Xin said, ��I��m only following the orders from upstairs. As for capturing you back to do what, that��s not what I can ask. Alright, giving you a chance now; seal your divine sea yourself and follow us.��


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, ��Go? You all killed Xu Guang��s party and sneaked into my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, could it be that you still want to leave alive?��


    Lu Xin and the rest were taken back and could not help laughing as they said, ��Talking wildly, just the likes of you, a Celestial Deity Realm, can you still resist us?��


    Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ye Yuan. It was precisely Bai Tong.


    With Dustless��s warning, how could Ye Yuan possibly not be on guard?


    So in this half a year, Bai Tong had always been inside the Purple Extreme Hall in closed-seclusion and had always been following by Ye Yuan��s side too.


    When Lu Xin saw Bai Tong, his pupils could not help constricting, expression suddenly changing.


    This person��s aura was actually identical with him, a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse too!


    When did Heavenly Eagle Imperial City have such an expert?


    Could it be that Mo Qing died at his hands?


    ��I��ll leave this guy to you, no problem, right?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Bai Tong rolled his eyes and said, ��Take away the ��right�� word.��


    Ye Yuan was unable to stifle his laughter when he heard that.


    This guy really had cold humor!


    The two people chatted, not taking Lu Xin five people seriously at all.


    Lu Xin smiled coldly and said, ��Fool, so what even if there��s a Fourth Firmament True God? Could it be that he, a Celestial Deity Realm, can still deal with four Second Firmament True Gods?��


    The other four people were all Second Firmament True God powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Wouldn��t you know after trying?��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan pushed with the tip of his feet, figure immediately turning into an afterimage, pouncing towards one of the killers.


    That assassin had a scornful look, world power suddenly erupting, wanting to take Ye Yuan down a notch.


    While the other three people watched this scene calmly, waiting to see Ye Yuan��s wretched appearance.


    Upstairs only said not to kill Ye Yuan, but did not say not to let him get injured.


    Since he was looking for abuse himself, then it also could not be blamed on others.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan arrived.


    Lifting his hand, it was a straight punch, looking like mortals fighting.


    Bang!


    That assassin��s world domain was immediately smashed until it sunk in, his entire person flying out like a cannonball.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The assassin fell to the ground, opening his mouth and vomiting out a large mouthful of blood.


    The pupils of the other four people shrunk, looking at this scene in astonishment and disbelieving faces.


    ��Sixth transformation golden body! He��s actually a body cultivator! No, wait, even if it��s the sixth transformation golden body, it��s also not possible to be so strong! Could �� Could he have �� a perfect sixth transformation golden body?�� Lu Xin looked at Ye Yuan and said in astonishment.

 Chapter 1948 - Kicking a Metal Plate

    The explosive power in that instant just now made the few Second Firmament True Gods feel their hearts palpitate.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not employ any martial technique, erupting with power that was based fully on the power of the fleshy body.


    Such powerful fleshy body power, apart from the perfect sixth transformation golden body, Lu Xin could not think of a second possibility at all.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Xin and said coolly, ��At least you have some knowledge.��


    Even if they were mentally prepared, Lu Xin and the rest were still stunned by this answer.


    Lu Xin revealed a look of great shock and said, ��How is that possible? Disregarding that the requirement of the perfect sixth transformation on resources is harsh, even the Nirvanic Tribulation of the perfect sixth transformation golden body, not one in a hundred might be able to tide it over too. How did you do it?��


    Perfect golden body, each additional transformation, the nirvanic tribulation that needed to be faced was even more horrifying!


    Even among a hundred perfect fifth transformation golden body martial artists, there might also not be one capable of enduring it.


    Deducing it like this, to be able to endure from perfect first transformation to perfect sixth transformation, even among 10 million body cultivators, there might not be one person who succeeds too. It could be seen how rare it was.


    The anguish of the perfect sixth transformation nirvanic tribulation, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.


    Those able to reach a perfect sixth transformation golden body could also be counted on one hand in the entire Heavenspan World. It could be imagined how shocked Lu Xin was currently.


    Even in his dreams, he also would not have thought that Ye Yuan was actually such a terrifying body cultivator.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew how terrifying this nirvanic tribulation was. But he pulled through.


    ��Very unfortunately, I��m that one,�� Ye Yuan said very calmly.


    The expression on Lu Xin��s face gradually became solemn. He said to the four people in a solemn voice, ��The four of you attack together and use combined attacks. Make sure not to underestimate him! If it can��t be done, leaving first will be the best choice.��


    When Xu Mao four people heard that, they had solemn looks on their faces too.


    They originally thought that it was catching a turtle in a jar. They did not expect that it was going to be troublesome.


    Ye Yuan��s light punch already clearly showed how strong his perfect sixth transformation was.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    Xu Mao four people��s actions were extremely fast, each standing in position. The imposing momentum immediately became subtle.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent and also could not help becoming cautious.


    These four people just getting into position already became a unified entity. Once they unleashed an attack, the power would likely be extraordinary.


    It was true that his perfect sixth transformation was formidable, but it was not invincible.


    A Second Firmament True God was far stronger than A First Firmament True God in the first place.


    If not for this, Ye Yuan��s punch previously would have long eradicated that assassin.


    But the other party only suffered some injuries. It did not have a huge impact on the battle.


    The disparity between Second Firmament and First Firmament True Gods was clear at a glance.


    True God Realm powerhouses were not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry. Martial artists able to break through to the True God Realm, each one of them was a genius among geniuses.


    That punch of Ye Yuan��s before was merely just a probe.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Xu Mao moved!


    A sword move, swift like lightning.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark and pointed a finger out. He was actually relying on his fleshy body to meet a true god mystic treasure!


    Clank!


    A clear metal clashing sound came over. Xu Mao seemed to have been struck by a tremendous force, falling back.


    Ye Yuan was just about to chase after when another sword stabbed over.


    This sword was extremely sharp, piercing straight for Ye Yuan��s lower ribs.


    Although Ye Yuan��s fleshy body was powerful, he was not really impervious to swords and spears.


    Second Firmament True God coupled with the power of joint attacks was already sufficient to hurt him.


    Being forced to, Ye Yuan could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.


    The four people��s cooperation was extremely tacit. Ye Yuan was actually unable to get away for some time under the four people��s pincer attacks.


    Hence, the five people became tangled in battle just like that.


    At this time, with the Traceless Spatial Lock activating, everyone could only return to the basic, relying on movement technique to move, unable to traverse the void.


    But Ye Yuan only relied on that explosive power and did not suffer the least bit of loss in movement.


    By the side, when Lu Xin saw this scene, he was shocked speechless.


    ��With the four of them displaying Nightmare One Heart, even when dealing with a Third Firmament True God, they can also persist for the time it takes to brew a pot of tea. But now, they actually can��t do anything to him?��


    One had to know, Second Firmament True God basically did not have any strength to fight back in front of Third Firmament True Gods.


    But Xu Mao four people��s joint attacks could persist for the time it took to brew a pot of tea and not be defeated. This was already very incredible.


    Ye Yuan had just entered the sixth transformation, calculating it, he was also merely a First Firmament True God. He was actually evenly-matched with the four people.


    A perfect golden body had always been an existence of the legends, Lu Xin had never seen before too.


    He did not expect that perfect sixth transformation was actually so terrifying.


    At this time, the Bai Tong by the side opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, ��Don��t look anymore, it��s our turn.��


    Lu Xin��s face sunk, sneering coldly as he said, ��Reckless and blind thing! Since you��re courting death yourself, then I��ll send you off!��


    ��Exterminating Traceless Sword!��


    Lu Xin��s figure suddenly disappeared from where he was as if he shuttled into the void.


    But space was currently being locked.


    Bai Tong had a composed face. A fan appeared in his hand at no idea when and he pointed out the fan with a backhand.


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    In a blink of an eye, the two people exchanged several dozen blows.


    Whoosh!


    Lu Xin��s figure appeared once more. He stared at the sword in his hand, his expression ugly to the extreme.


    His sword was a middle-grade true god mystic treasure. Currently, on the sword body, numerous fine chips actually appeared on it.


    ��E-Empyrean spirit treasure! You actually have an empyrean spirit treasure!�� Lu Xin gritted his teeth, expression ugly to the extreme.


    Even though Bai Tong was unable to unleash the full power of the fan, Lu Xin was incomparably certain that this fan was absolutely an empyrean spirit treasure!


    A Fourth Firmament True God actually owned an empyrean spirit treasure?


    Furthermore, just those few exchanges earlier, Lu Xin was already totally certain that the law comprehension of this person in front of him was unfathomable. He was not a match at all!


    Lu Xin was also a fearsome existence in the Deathsoul Gate. There were even quite a few Fourth Firmament True Gods who died at his hands.


    But now, he was actually powerless to do anything to a Fourth Firmament True God.


    This person in front of him was powerful to the point there were no chinks in his armor to exploit.


    Lu Xin suddenly discovered that this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s waters were simply too deep!


    Before he came, he felt that Lord Shadowwind made too big of a fuss over a minor issue.


    But now, he felt that Lord Shadowwind underestimated Ye Yuan too much!


    This kid was simply an enigmatic existence.


    Creating a medicinal pill that even the Deathsoul Gate was extremely moved by a perfect sixth transformation golden body. There was even a Fourth Firmament True God who possessed an empyrean spirit treasure following by his side!


    How was this an imperial city?


    This foundation was already sufficient to become an imperial capital!


    Who could have thought that in a tiny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there were actually such undiscovered talents who remained in concealment?


    Roar!


    Right at this time, a dragon roar shot to the sky.


    A horrifying energy undulation spread out from Ye Yuan��s body.


    Lu Xin looked over, his pupils constricting.


    Only to see that the current Ye Yuan was overflowing with vigor as if he was a roaring enormous dragon.


    Those four people were holding out bitterly under Ye Yuan��s tremendous strength and were already almost crumbling.


    Ye Yuan finally used the Universe Dragon Claw!


    Under the augmentation of the perfect sixth transformation golden body, the power of this move strengthened more than several times.


    Each punch that Ye Yuan slammed out practically had the offensive power of a peak Second Firmament True God.


    That horrifying strength was virtually punching through space.


    Lu Xin��s heart sunk to rock-bottom. He knew that they kicked a metal plate this time!

 Chapter 1949 - Indiscriminately Slaughtering the Innocent!

    ��No way, can��t continue being stalemated like this. Otherwise, not one of us can leave!��


    Lu Xin knew that under this current circumstance, they were unable to succeed at all.


    Regardless of whether it was Ye Yuan or this Fourth Firmament True God in front of him, neither one was a pushover.


    He had to escape, pass the news back, and let Lord Shadowwind send even stronger powerhouses here.


    Thinking up to here, Lu Xin gritted his teeth. His mind stirring, the Traceless Spatial Lock was released quietly.


    Whoosh!


    Lu Xin��s figure suddenly vanished, shuttling into the void.


    A Fourth Firmament True God powerhouses could travel ten thousand miles in an instant, going out of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City in a blink of an eye.


    When Bai Tong saw the situation, he only laughed coldly. Taking a step out, he also disappeared.


    Over that side, Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive toward spatial law. The instant when the Traceless Spatial Lock was dispelled, he detected it.


    Seeing Bai Tong chase after, Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, ��Keep him alive!��


    ��Relax!��


    In the void, came Bai Tong��s voice. Then there was no more sound.


    And inside the City Lord Manor came Xu Mao four people��s cursing voices.


    ��Lu Xin, you��ll die a horrible death!��


    ��Despicable villian who doubled-crossed, you definitely won��t have a good end!��


    ��


    Lu Xin ran without even giving a heads-up undoubtedly made the four of them fall into a desperate situation.


    The moment space opened up, Ye Yuan��s figure became even more unpredictable.


    Shuttling within the void coupled with the power of the Universe Dragon Claw, his momentum was irresistible.


    Even with four people joining hands, they were also suppressed by Ye Yuan until they did not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Inside the city lord manor, came intense exploding sounds, immediately alarming outside.


    Sensing the horrific undulations coming from inside, Ning Tianping��s complexion turned white.


    He finally knew what was amiss!


    Ye Yuan making him go out was actually in order to protect him.


    True God level battles were not what he could take part in at all.


    The four people fought incomparably fiercely, fighting all the way from the city lord manor to high up in the sky.


    Ye Yuan was akin to a god of war, still brimming with imposing vigor under the encirclement of the four great powerhouses.


    This scene naturally landed in the eyes of the martial artists in the city, all incredibly shocked.


    ��Is my eyesight failing? Those are four Second Firmament True God powerhouses. Lord Ye Yuan can actually fight one-on-four?��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan seems to have reached the sixth transformation golden body. But would the sixth transformation golden body be so strong?��


    ��Sixth transformation golden body is just slightly stronger than same rank martial artists. But to say powerful until this kind of extent, it��s clearly impossible.��


    ��I heard those body cultivators have a type of superlative golden body called the perfect golden body. This is the ultimate state of body cultivating martial artists. Could it be that �� Lord Ye Yuan he reached the perfect golden body?��


    ��


    The martial artists in the city were all speculating. Someone guessed the perfect golden body very quickly, causing each and every one of them being extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s Martial Dao cultivation clearly did not reach the True God Realm yet. Then there was only this explanation.


    The perfect sixth transformation golden body, this legendary realm, Lord Ye Yuan actually successfully cultivated it!


    Everyone looked at that flawless figure, all idolizing immensely.


    Except, just what was the deal with these True God powerhouses of unknown origins?


    Over there, in the midst of fierce fighting, Xu Mao��s eyes swiveled, suddenly calling out in a clear voice, ��Stop attacking him! We��ll split up and massacre the civilians in the city. We��ll see if he can kill the four of us at the same time or not!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his expression immediately changed drastically.


    What he was most worried about was these people making a move on the common people in the city. He did not expect that they really did not have a bottom line, using unscrupulous means in order to achieve their goal.


    When the other three people heard that, their eyes could not help lighting up.


    They were all beaten silly by Ye Yuan, all just thinking about how to run. It was this Xu Mao��s brain that was agile, to actually think of using this kind of method to coerce Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    The four people did not hesitate in the slightest, flying out in four different directions.


    Although Ye Yuan was skilled in spatial law, he also could not possibly attend to four different directions at the same time.


    In his rage, Ye Yuan suddenly slammed a fist out.


    Far away, one of the assassins was directly brought down by Ye Yuan!


    It was just that even though his figure tottered and he was seriously injured, he still did not die.


    A Second Firmament True God martial artist was seriously too strong!


    With his current strength, he was utterly devastated one-on-one. But to talk about killing in a single blow, it was clearly not too likely.


    In the time it took for this one punch, the other three people already pulled apart distance from Ye Yuan.


    They did not plan on all evading in the first place, it just depended on whose luck was good.


    Ye Yuan injured one person, but he was unable to injure the other three people at the same time.


    ��Hahaha! Ye Yuan, I want to see how much time you can use to kill all four of us! Do it!�� Xu Mao laughed crazily as he said.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    Three incomparably swift and fierce sword lights tore across the sky, flying straight for the downtown area.


    Ye Yuan��s face changed greatly, exhibiting spatial shift without the slightest hesitation.


    Bang!


    A sword light landed on Ye Yuan, immediately slamming Ye Yuan onto the streets.


    But the other two streaks of sword light, Ye Yuan was powerless to salvage the situation.


    Bang, bang!


    Hundreds and thousands of martial artists turned to ashes under these two streaks of sword light.


    Second Firmament True God powerhouses, to ordinary martial artists, those were god-like existences.


    In imperial cities, most were some Divine Lord Realm and Origin Deity Realm martial artists. How could they block this kind of terrifying attack?


    Places that the sword lights passed through, it became an abyss of suffering!


    ��Hahaha! Feels great!�� Xu Mao burst out laughing.


    Another assassin also burst out laughing as he said, ��If I knew that this brat was this silly long ago, wouldn��t he have submitted obediently once we randomly captured a few people? Why is there still a need to go through so much trouble?��


    In a heap of rubble, Ye Yuan shot up to the sky, gaze turned bloodshot from anger. Both eyes were already blood-red.


    This attack did not cause any damage to him, but how could the civilians in the city block such a terrifying attack?


    ��Again, again!��


    Xu Mao laughed loudly, unleashing his sword once more decisively.


    ��STOP!��


    Ye Yuan roared, teleporting once more, and was slammed down once again without the least bit of surprise.


    However, at the other two places, there were many martial artists who were killed again. There was no time to even escape.


    Inside the city was already a chaotic mess. Places that the sword lights passed through were already heaps of ruins.


    ��Stop! I��ll go with you!�� Ye Yuan roared angrily.


    Xu Mao did a hand gesture, indicating for the other two to stop for now.


    Ye Yuan flew up once more and came towards Xu Mao.


    Xu Mao was long beaten by Ye Yuan until he was terrified. Seeing that Ye Yuan had an aggressive posture, he fell back repeatedly and cried out in alarm, ��Stop!��


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only stop. But his pair of eyes were full of iciness.


    When Xu Mao saw that Ye Yuan indeed stopped, he could not help becoming pleased with himself again and said with a laugh, ��Huhu, Master Ye, your strength is formidable, so don��t get so close to me. I��m scared!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, ��I��ll go with you guys, don��t attack innocent people anymore!��


    Xu Mao had a smug look as he said, ��If you were so obedient long ago, wouldn��t they not have needed to die? Heh heh, but �� we don��t trust you, you��re too powerful! Once you go back on your word, we won��t be able to do anything to you.��


    Ye Yuan said coldly, ��I can seal my vital energy and blood and seal up my divine sea! But you all have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to absolutely not go back on your promise afterward and attack the civilians in the city!��


    When Xu Mao heard that, the smug look on his face became more apparent.

 Chapter 1950 - Golden Needle Stabbing Acupoint

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Your Excellency!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan being brought away helplessly, the civilians in the city were all weeping.


    Quite a few people even directly knelt down, kowtowing in the direction Ye Yuan left.


    They understood that Ye Yuan was brought away by these people in order to protect them.


    Body cultivating martial artists sealing their vital energy and blood was like sealing the divine sea, unable to display fleshy body power anymore.


    Ye Yuan doing so was undoubtedly binding both hands himself, becoming fish on a chopping board, being at people��s mercy.


    Bai Chen, Ning Tianping, Leng Qiuling, and the rest shot up one by one, wanting to stop them from leaving.


    ��Let go of Master!��


    ��Your Excellency, I won��t let them bring you away!��


    ��


    When Xu Mao saw this scene, his face revealed a cruel smile.


    ��Halt!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan shouted.


    Bai Chen and the rest all stopped their footsteps involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan looked at them with an outraged look.


    Bai Chen they all had yet to see before this kind of enraged expression on Ye Yuan��s face.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was scorching as he said in a deep voice, ��All go back for me! Whoever takes another step forward, don��t say that you know me, Ye Yuan, any longer in the future!��


    Everyone��s faces changed and sure enough, did not dare to move anymore.


    Xu Mao grinned and said, ��What a touching scene! But �� willingly be tied up for a bunch of ants, I have got to admit, you��re simply ridiculously foolish.��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was calm and did not get angry because of Xu Mao��s mockery. He just said coolly, ��Let��s go.��


    Just like this, Ye Yuan was brought away under everyone��s watchful gazes.


    ��Sigh, being able to meet this kind of lord, we really have the good fortune of three lifetimes! If it were other cities, even if we were completely wiped out, it would also be impossible for the city lord to furrow his brows at all, right?��


    ��His Excellency was brought away, what should �� Heavenly Eagle do from now on?��


    ��No matter what, I��ll treat Heavenly Eagle as my home in this lifetime!��


    ��


    Ye Yuan saving people by sacrificing his own life made countless martial artists in the city incredibly touched.


    The world of martial artists was lonely and also selfish.


    However, it was precisely in this selfish world that Ye Yuan��s selflessness could move people even more.


    Even though they had just experienced a tribulation, at this moment, these people felt a feeling called home toward Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Inside the City Lord Manor, Bai Chen and the rest bit their lips and gnawed their teeth with bewildered and stumped faces.


    They did not know which faction these True God powerhouses came from, but a faction capable of sending out so many True God Realm powerhouses was absolutely not an ordinary faction.


    ��Really damn it! Damn it! It��s �� It��s all us who are too weak!�� Bai Chen said with tears running down his face.


    The others were silent.


    Even Bai Chen this True God Realm powerhouse was powerless to do anything, so what use could they, these Celestial Deity Realm martial artists, be of?


    They already did their utmost to catch up to Ye Yuan��s footsteps, but the gap between them and Ye Yuan became bigger and bigger.


    Finally, it could only be up to Ye Yuan to come and protect them.


    Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a flying figure entered the City Lord Manor.


    Thud!


    Bai Tong casually threw, throwing a figure onto the ground. Who could it be if not Lu Xin?


    The current Lu Xin had his divine sea sealed, lying limp on the ground like a dead dog.


    The moment Bai Tong came in, he noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat off and asked with a frown, ��What��s wrong? Where��s Ye Yuan?��


    No one answered him, the atmosphere within the entire hall was crushing until it made people asphyxiated.


    ��I��ll kill you!��


    Suddenly, Bai Chen exploded, abruptly thrusting a spear towards Lu Xin��s heart.


    Bai Tong frowned, sleeves flicking grandly, directly sending Bai Chen��s spear flying.


    ��Ye Yuan said it before; he wants him alive,�� Bai Tong said coolly.


    Bai Chen suddenly turned around and roared at Bai Tong, ��Master was already captured by them! What��s the use of keeping him alive?��


    When Bai Tong heard this, his two eyes narrowed slightly and asked, ��With Ye Yuan��s strength, how can those small fries capture him?��


    Among the few people, Leng Qiuling was still considered calm. She briefly recounted the events previously, making Bai Tong stunned too.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually do such a thing.


    Musing for a moment, Bai Tong said, ��Relax, Ye Yuan will be fine. You guys lock him up, I��ll go to Ye Yuan��s aid.��


    Everyone trembled all over when they heard it. Ning Tianping hurriedly asked, ��Senior, what do you mean?��


    Bai Tong said coolly, ��You guys are also looking down on Ye Yuan too much. If a few random cats and dogs can capture him away too, he also wouldn��t possibly cause such a big spectacle. Relax, I��ll be right back.��


    Finished talking, Bai Tong��s figure moved, vanishing on the spot.


    Everyone exchanged glances, their faces involuntarily revealing a look of wild elation.


    ��


    The four great True God Realm powerhouses brought Ye Yuan away, traveling ten thousand miles in a single breath, and already flew god knows how far.


    ��Xu Mao, this time, if not for you, we��d definitely be completely annihilated!�� An assassin buttered him up.


    Xu Mao��s expression was slightly dark as he said, ��Now��s not the time to be happy yet. Don��t you guys forget, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still has a Fourth Firmament True God!��


    The other three people��s faces changed, the smugness from before immediately swept away cleanly.


    They were indeed somewhat dizzy with success just now.


    Among the four people, Xu Mao was the leader.


    ��This �� Then we��d better hurry up and escape. As long as we escape to Goldenwing Imperial Capital, our mission will also be considered as completed!��


    Xu Mao nodded and said, ��Lord Shadowwind already notified the Goldenwing Branch. They have already sent people to coordinate at the borders. As long as we reach the borders, it will be considered thoroughly safe. But, you guys don��t have to be too worried either. We have this kid in our hands. Even if that person really chases after us, out of fear of implicating him, he won��t dare to do anything to us either.��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure paused, coming to a stop.


    Xu Mao��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Punk, what do you want to do? I��m warning you, don��t get any lousy ideas. Although upstairs made us not harm your life, if you really push us, it��s hard to say!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him, his gaze icy cold as he said, ��This place should be far enough from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, right?��


    ��Mn? What do you mean?�� Xu Mao and the rest were startled inwardly, their gazes revealing a vigilant look.


    Suddenly, a golden needle appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand since God knows when. Before everyone came back to their senses, he suddenly stabbed toward his own body with a ghostly speed.


    The final needle was directly stabbed onto his Baihui acupoint.


    This scene happened too quickly, Xu Mao and the rest completely did not have time to stop it, all turning pale with fright.


    ��ARGH!�� Ye Yuan gave a long cry, his aura suddenly erupting.


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, powerful vital energy erupted from Ye Yuan��s body. The horrifying pressure made the four great Second Firmament True Gods suddenly change countenance.


    Xu Mao looked at this scene in incredible shock as he said in a panic, ��This �� how is this possible? I clearly sealed your vital energy and blood personally and watched your vital energy completely fade! You �� How did you do it?��


    Sealing vital energy, this was a very safe method.


    Even if you had immensely formidable abilities, you could forget about breaking free too.


    Otherwise, with Xu Mao��s cunningness, how could he possibly set his mind at ease and bring Ye Yuan out just like this?


    But now, Ye Yuan actually broke free of the vital energy and blood seal.


    Looking at Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum, it was even several times stronger than before!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xu Mao coldly and said in a deep voice, ��Golden needle stabbing the acupoint, reversing vital energy and blood, life and death gateway, sudden enlightenment1!��

 Chapter 1951 - All Called Back

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Puhwark!��


    The moment Ye Yuan��s voice faded, he immediately spewed out a large mouthful of blood mist.


    The qi and blood flow of the human body naturally had their rules.


    Stabbing the acupoints with a golden needle, causing the vital energy and blood to flow in reverse, was equivalent to forcefully reversing the directional flow of the qi and blood within the body. The burden it caused on the body was virtually unimaginable.


    During the period where one��s qi and blood flowed in reverse, it could give the person who used the needle a short-term boost in strength. Then afterward, what awaited would be death from deficiency of vital energy and blood!


    Ye Yuan using this kind of means was equivalent to using a method that killed 3000 of the enemy at the cost of losing 3000 of his own, the consequences too disastrous to imagine.


    Xu Mao looked at Ye Yuan, his expression extremely ugly as he said, ��You �� You lunatic, you don��t want your life anymore?��


    Y smiled coldly and said, ��Relax, it won��t take my life! A perfect sixth transformation golden body is even stronger than you imagine! Now, you guys can start running away. But �� you have to be faster than me!��


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest and arrived in front of that injured assassin with a teleport.


    One exchange struck him flying.


    Following that, Ye Yuan pointed his finger and directly crippled his divine sea.


    Completely ignoring the other party��s misery, Ye Yuan directly carried him in his hand like holding a chicken, and chased after another person.


    The current Ye Yuan was overflowing with vital energy, much stronger than before.


    At that time, in the city, these people were already not Ye Yuan��s match; let alone now.


    Fresh blood stained his clothes red, with a blood-stained style.


    Xu Mao��s expression became extremely ugly. How could he still dare to remain? With his figure moving, he disappeared from where he was.


    The other two people were the same as him, it was just that they fled separately.


    They only hoped that Ye Yuan would not chase after them.


    Ye Yuan just gave a cold laugh, striding out, and caught up to one of the assassins in virtually an instant.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three punches in a row, each punch heavier than the last.


    That assassin only blocked for a moment, then his chest had a large hole slammed into it.


    Then, he similarly had his divine sea wasted by Ye Yuan and carried in his hand.


    These few people��s actions had long already made Ye Yuan go completely berserk. The current Ye Yuan was attacking in rage, how would he still show any leniency?


    The movements of True God powerhouses were exceedingly fast in the end, shuttling through the void, ten thousand miles in an instant.


    In this short while, the other two people already disappeared without a trace.


    But Ye Yuan had long left divine sense imprints on them. As long as they did not escape out of a certain radius, Ye Yuan could track them down.


    When Ye Yuan was at the Sixth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm, the Fourth Firmament True God Yu Wenfeng and the rest already could not match up to him in terms of speed.


    Now, Ye Yuan already reached the peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity Realm; the speed of his spatial shift was even several times faster. Catching up to two Second Firmament True Gods was naturally nothing difficult.


    The reason why he chose to make a move here was that the topography of this place was a spacious open space. Ye Yuan could display spatial shift without restraint.


    Ye Yuan took out a rope and strung the two assassins up like dead dogs, dragging them behind him.


    Following which, he took a step out and disappeared on the spot once more.


    After several dozen breaths, Ye Yuan caught up to another person again and crippled him, tying him up with the other two people onto the same rope.


    Now, there was only Xu Mao alone left.


    The current Xu Mao was akin to a dog who lost its home, desperately running.


    He urged his divine essence to the limits, praying crazily in his heart for Ye Yuan to not come to find him first.


    Time slowly trickled by. Sure enough, as he had hoped for, Ye Yuan did not chase after.


    Xu Mao let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart. But he still did not dare to ease up in the slightest.


    ��I can definitely escape! Can definitely escape! He used a reverse-flow art and can��t sustain it for too long. As long as I can hold on until his vital energy is exhausted, I��ll be able to escape!��


    Xu Mao was yelling frantically in his heart.


    How could the current Xu Mao still dare to think about dealing a counterattack after Ye Yuan��s vital energy was exhausted? He only wanted to escape.


    At this very moment, he only hoped that the other two people could slightly delay for a bit more time.


    It was just that the results turned out contrary to his expectations.


    Roar!


    Suddenly, in the void ahead, a dragon roar came from head-on.


    Xu Mao��s face changed drastically, hurriedly responding.


    But this Universe Dragon Claw move came too suddenly. Furthermore, the power was immense.


    Bang!


    Intense energy undulations came from the air. Xu Mao��s figure flew out backward, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    Ye Yuan��s figure slowly walked out of the void.


    He looked toward Xu Mao with a cold face and said calmly, ��You �� deserve death!��


    Xu Mao had a look of despair on his face. Directly kneeling down in front of Ye Yuan, he wept, ��I �� I was wrong! I beg you, let me off!��


    ��Let you off? Then who will let the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City martial artists who died unjustly off? You rest assured, I won��t kill you right now. I��ll use your dog head to hold a memorial ceremony for the deceased souls that died in Heavenly Eagle!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan extended a claw out once more.


    Bang!


    Xu Mao was directly slammed underground. Ye Yuan directly crippled his divine sea with a flash.


    Following that, a cold light flashed.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    It was only to hear a series of miserable screams like a pig getting slaughtered transmit over. Xu Mao four people��s hand and leg tendons were already severed.


    They had their divine seas wasted and their hand and leg tendons severed. Now, they were equivalent to cripples, unable to even stand up.


    Finished with these, Ye Yuan spat out a long turbid breath and fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move anymore.


    No idea how long had passed either, a figure walked out of the void.


    Bai Tong looked at the unconscious Ye Yuan and took a look at Xu Mao who was still wailing on the ground. Heaving a sigh, he said, ��What a chivalrous kid! I can��t be compared to you!��


    Finished saying, Bai Tong carried Ye Yuan on his back, carrying Xu Mao four people with one hand, and disappearing into the void again.


    ��


    At Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, inside the hidden chamber of the small inn, Shadowwind��s brows knitted tightly together.


    He looked at the communication talisman in his hand and muttered to himself, ��What a terrific Ye Yuan! Making a trip to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, he actually brought back quite a number of True God Realm powerhouses! I really didn��t expect that a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City actually has people of such extraordinary talents lying in hiding! Looks like I have to personally make this trip!��


    This half a year, Lu Xin had always been keeping in contact with Shadowwind.


    Just earlier, he received Lu Xin��s transmission, saying that Ye Yuan brought back quite a few True God Realm martial artists from Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    Now, the entire City Lord Manor was surrounded by True God Realm powerhouses. Just based on the few of them, it was very hard to charge in and capture Ye Yuan.


    Because of this, Shadowwind also felt that it was very troublesome.


    ��A Sixth Firmament True God, three Fifth Firmament True Gods, looks like �� our Nine Pledge Branch need to attack in full force this time!��


    Done talking, Shadowwind kneaded seals with both hands. Streams of black threads traveled into the void.


    Half a month later, one black shadow after another dashed into this underground hidden chamber.


    These were all the Nine Pledge Branch��s elite assassins. Normally, they lurked in some imperial capitals and great imperial capitals. It was rare to call all of them back.


    But this time, for the sake of capturing Ye Yuan, Shadowwind actually summoned all of them back.


    Among these people, the weakest one was a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse.


    The powerful ones even reached the Seventh Firmament True God Realm!


    And the Nine Pledge Branch��s branch head, Shadowwind, was an Eighth Firmament True God super powerhouse to begin with.


    This line-up was more than sufficient to eliminate an imperial capital too.

 Chapter 1952 - Round up in One Fell Swoop!

    ��Your Excellency, what did you call us back for?��


    ��Yeah, there are so many gathered in the Nine Pledge Branch, this is an unprecedented thing!��


    ��


    Everyone clamored to get a word in, clearly very perplexed by Shadowwind��s actions.


    Although the Nine Pledge Branch looked like an inconspicuous place, this branch��s strength was sufficient to sweep across a high-order imperial capital.


    Normally, these people were scattered all over the place.


    Gathering all of them in one go, everyone was clearly all very curious.


    Shadowwind waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet before slowly saying, ��Summoning you all here, there��s naturally an important thing to do ����


    Shadowwind gave an introduction to Heavenly Eagle��s situation. Everyone turned pale with fright when they heard it.


    ��A tiny little imperial city actually has such powerful strength?��


    ��Is it real or fake? That��s merely a puny little Celestial Deity Realm brat. The Myriad Treasure Tower would send so many peoples to come and protect him?��


    ��What the hell do you know! Ye Yuan is currently the Myriad Treasure Tower��s money tree. Sending more people to protect him is also very normal.��


    ��


    This tiny little underground secret room was currently plotting how to deal with Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Inside the Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s City Lord Manor, Yu Wenfeng was currently responding to this somber middle-aged man in front of him cautiously.


    The middle-aged man was called Duan Yi, the tower master of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Myriad Treasure Tower, a Ninth Firmament True God super powerhouse.


    ��This �� Lord Duan Yi, just what underhanded activities are there inside that small inn?�� Yu Wenfeng asked. He could not hold back his curiosity.


    Duan Yi sat up straight, lightly drinking fragrant tea, a look of reminiscing the aftertaste on his face.


    ��City Lord Yu being able to endure until now before asking, somewhat exceeded my expectations. Not that this Duan isn��t telling you, but that I��m afraid of scaring you. Do you really want to know?�� Duan Yi said with a light smile.


    Yu Wenfeng��s pupils constricted. He had long expected that that tiny little inn in the city was not ordinary. To be able to make a mighty Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse personally garrison the City Lord Manor, how could this matter be simple?


    Moreover, there were even no less than 20 late-stage True God Realm powerhouses staying in the City Lord Manor currently.


    This kind of horrifying line-up made Yu Wenfeng unable to have a good sleep these few days.


    He was incomparably shocked in his heart. Because while these were many True God Realm powerhouses, they did not belong to the same faction.


    Such as, this Duan Yi was the tower master of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Myriad Treasure Tower that had jurisdiction over Nine Pledge Imperial Capital, while the other few people, some came from great imperial capitals, some came from some high-order imperial capitals.


    There were even a few who were powerhouses that came from other Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas.


    It was just that, who could make these people gather here?


    An Empyrean?


    Empyrean powerhouses could not possibly mobilize the True God powerhouses of so many places either!


    Just whose face was it that was so big?


    Yu Wenfeng was full of curiosity. It stifled him badly these few days.


    These people quietly sneaked into the City Lord Manor and did not alarm anyone.


    Right now, inside the City Lord Manor, only he alone knew these people��s background.


    Looking at Duan Yi, Yu Wenfeng nodded his head firmly and said, ��Lord Duan, please clarify!��


    Duan Yi drank another mouthful of tea and said with a smile, ��Actually, that small inn is a branch of the Deathsoul Gate! If my conjectures are right, there are probably no fewer than ten middle-stage and above True God Realm powerhouses in that inn right now!��


    Smash!


    Yu Wenfeng shuddered, the teacup in his hand immediately fell to the ground.


    His complexion instantly became deathly pale, two feet quaking non-stop.


    The Deathsoul Gate, that was a name that everyone trembled with fear upon hearing.


    And this terrifying force actually had such a powerful branch under his rule!


    How many years had they existed?


    Also, how many people and how many factions had they eliminated under his hands?


    Yu Wenfeng��s mind was in chaos, full of lingering fear.


    ��B-But Lord Duan, your Myriad Treasure Tower also won��t be willing to oppose the Deathsoul Gate, right?�� Yu Wenfeng said rather uncertainly.


    Duan Yi smiled and said, ��Our Myriad Treasure Tower does business. As long as there��s sufficient profit, it��s naturally worth us taking action. Moreover, this faction that has a notorious reputation, so everyone has a duty to punish them!��


    Yu Wenfeng was shocked in his heart, becoming even more curious about this person controlling it at the back.


    Right at this time, a figure quietly appeared in the great hall.


    The arrival bowed in salute toward Duan Yi and said, ��Lord Duan, the Deathsoul Gate has set off!��


    Yu Wenfeng��s entire body trembled, suddenly realizing that a large-scale True God Realm great battle was about to begin right away.


    Duan Yi took his time to drink a mouthful of tea, slowly got up, and said, ��Call them all up, this Deathsoul Gate��s Nine Pledge Branch has brought disaster for many years and should also be exterminated.��


    ��


    The Deathsoul Gate��s people, the group of people went out of the city and tore off the disguises on their bodies.


    Shadowwind instructed, ��Be more low-profile along the way. Don��t startle the grass and alert the enemy. When we reach Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, we��ll lay low and enter first. Let��s wait for the right moment to take action, understood?��


    ��Yes, Lord Shadowwind!��


    Everyone received the orders, all tearing across the air.


    It was just that they did not know that their every action and movement was being surveyed.


    And ahead, what awaited them was a heaven-shocking ambush.


    The party was currently in the midst of swift travel when suddenly, several dozen horrifying energy undulations passed through the void and smashed onto them.


    Rumble!


    Above the sky, a massive loud bang echoed.


    The weak ones were actually directly blown to death by the berserk energy.


    This sudden turn of events was too abrupt, everyone practically did not react in time.


    High above the sky, miserable screams linked up together.


    Shadowwind��s expression instantly became extremely ugly. They fell into an ambush!


    How was this possible?


    It had always been their Deathsoul Gate who ambushed people. When had they been ambushed by others before?


    ��Who is it, come out for this lord! Injuring people by underhanded means, what kind of hero are you considered?�� Shadowwind roared angrily.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    With this roar of his, more than two figures surrounded from all directions, encircling this party tightly in the center.


    When Shadowwind and the rest saw such a line-up, their faces immediately became ashen pale.


    More than 20 late-stage True God Realm powerhouses, this kind of strength was simply outrageous to hear.


    A middle-aged person among them was even a horrifying Ninth Firmament True God existence!


    ��Dealing with a bunch of people who perpetuates every conceivable crime and are unpardonably evil, injuring via underhanded means is also considered heroic, right?��


    Shadowwind��s expression flickered incessantly and said to Duan Yi with clasped hands, ��This brother, I don��t understand what you��re talking about! We��re just a bunch of people who are hurrying along the way. I wonder what��s the reason for you all to lie in ambush here?��


    Duan Yi looked at Shadowwind and said with a slight smile, ��Shadowwind, as Deathsoul Gate��s Nine Pledge Branch��s head, I don��t believe that you don��t recognize this tower lord!��


    Shadowwind��s heart sunk, secretly wondering to himself how were they exposed?


    He naturally knew the dignified Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Myriad Treasure Tower��s tower lord, a powerful Ninth Firmament True God Realm existence. As Deathsoul Gate��s branch head, how could he possibly not know?


    Seeing Shadowwind not speak, Duan Yi said coolly, ��Are you very curious why your identities would be exposed? Hu hu, let you meet someone; you��ll naturally understand.��


    As he said, a figure slowly walked out of the void.


    Shadowwind looked toward the arrival. His pupils constricted involuntarily as he cried out in shock, ��Ye Yuan!��

 Chapter 1953 - Group Annihilated!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Could it be that these 20 over True God Realm powerhouses were all summoned over by Ye Yuan?


    How could this sort of thing be possible?


    Even if Ye Yuan could refine the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, it was still not possible to have such great rallying power, right?


    Forget that Ye Yuan was just a puny little Celestial Deity Realm, even an Empyrean powerhouse also could not possibly rally True God Realm powerhouses belonging to so many different factions at the same time.


    ��Lord Shadowwind, although it��s our first time meeting, thinking about it, you shouldn��t be very unfamiliar with me, right?�� Ye Yuan looked at Shadowwind and said coolly.


    Shadowwind��s expression changed several times and said in a solemn voice, ��You �� How did you do it?��


    He was indeed incomparably stunned in his heart currently. There were far too many doubts.


    Firstly, their Deathsoul Gate��s assassins all carried highly toxic medicinal pills.


    Once the mission failed, they would commit suicide!


    But the black lotuses in his secret chamber did not dissipate. It showed that those five people did not die.


    Actually, even if these people did not die, how could they possibly send him this intel to mislead him?


    It was completely impossible for their Deathsoul Gate��s people to be controlled by people.


    It was just that he did not know that Ye Yuan had a divine soul type empyrean spirit treasure in his hand.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Your Deathsoul Gate��s poison pills are merely thus. Encountering me, even if they want to die, they also can��t die! As for why these seniors are willing to come to help me, it��s because I still have another identity! I am the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder!��


    Shadowwind��s pupils constricted, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s illustrious fame, he naturally knew about it.


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder, what kind of concept was that?


    That was to say that those Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders who were ridiculously old all had to bow their heads in submission to Ye Yuan!


    The Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders, each person��s identity was far more exalted than even Duan Yi, this kind of Myriad Treasure Tower��s tower master.


    Hence, how exalted was Ye Yuan��s identity?


    It was just that Ye Yuan still had not broken through to True God Realm currently. So how in the world did he do it?


    His Alchemy Dao talent was actually so horrifying?


    Although the Deathsoul Gate was well-informed, Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather battling in alchemy, this sort of inside-news, they naturally did not know about it.


    Shadowwind discovered that the Deathsoul Gate��s action this time was simply screwing him over.


    Or should he say, the Deathsoul Gate underestimated this Ye Yuan too much!


    The Deathsoul Gate took fancy on Ye Yuan being able to refine the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill. That was why they wanted to abduct him away.


    But how could Ye Yuan��s value be just a mere Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill?


    Shadowwind raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh as he said, ��A mistake! A grave mistake!��


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, staring at Ye Yuan as he said: ��Ye Yuan, you dare to destroy my Deathsoul Gate��s Nine Pledge Branch? Haven��t you considered the consequences?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Of course I��ve considered it, but �� even if I let you leave, will your Deathsoul Gate let me go? Furthermore, as long as the Nine Pledge Branch evaporates into thin air, I don��t believe that your Deathsoul Gate really dares to send people to come and touch me again!��


    Shadowwind laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Evaporate into thin air? Heh heh, do you really think that just based on these people, you can keep all of us behind?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Shadowwind and smiled.


    He took out a tiny tile. All of a sudden, the surrounding space all solidified!


    Deathsoul Gate��s people revealed a greatly astonished look as they cried out in surprise, ��Traceless Spatial Lock!��


    ��Huhu, looks like this thing is still pretty useful. With this, you all have nowhere to run anymore, right?�� Ye Yuan looked at Shadowwind and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Shadowwind��s face was ashen. He finally knew what was called getting caught in one��s own trap.


    The true god mystic treasure that he used to deal with Ye Yuan was actually being used to deal with him now.


    As an Eighth Firmament True God mighty powerhouse, even if he could not beat Duan Yi, escaping under the chaotic battle was still not an issue.


    But now, space was directly locked down. How could he still run?


    ��Tower Master Duan, seniors, the remaining things will be left to you guys!�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly and withdrew out of the battle circle.


    Duan Yi nodded his head and said, ��Rest assured, not one can escape. Leave this Shadowwind to me. The rest will have to trouble everybody.��


    Everyone answered, ��Tower Master Duan, rest assured!��


    Finished talking, Duan Yi��s world domain released, immediately giving the other party a tremendous sense of pressure.


    Shadowwind was akin to facing a great enemy. He was only an Eighth Firmament True God. It was still a little too forceful to match up against the Ninth Firmament True God Duan Yi.


    Two great pinnacle experts fighting together, the others also each displayed their means, encircling the suppressing the Deathsoul Gate��s people.


    Deathsoul Gate��s people were already ambushed earlier, their casualties heavy. Now, facing so many True God Realm powerhouses, how could they still hold out?


    Although the Deathsoul Gate also had quite a number of powerhouses, the powerhouses on Ye Yuan��s side were even more than theirs!


    Ye Yuan had long learned of the Deathsoul Gate branch��s strength from Lu Xin there. The powerhouses that he found were naturally not mediocre.


    The current battle situation was basically two-on-one, or even a situation of three-versus-one.


    Very soon, those Deathsoul Gate��s powerhouses perished one after another.


    Shadowwind��s strength was indeed formidable. By relying on unpredictable and ever-changing means, he could actually persist bitterly under Duan Yi��s hands.


    But it was also merely persisting bitterly.


    The Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses already stood at the peak of True God Realm and were far from what Eighth Firmament True Gods could compare to.


    Shadowwind being defeated was also just a matter of time.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene, a hint of delight flashing across in his heart.


    He learned from Lu Xin there that this Deathsoul Gate��s Nine Pledge Branch could be said to have committed countless crimes and misdeeds.


    This branch had already existed for several tens of thousands of years.


    In this period, the powerhouses that died under their hands could be counted in hundreds of thousands!


    There were even a few times where they destroyed all Celestial Deity Realm and above powerhouses in an imperial capital overnight.


    The innocent civilians who died under their hands were even too many to enumerate.


    This kind of underground force was simply utterly devoid of conscience.


    In the past, Ye Yuan still did not understand the Deathsoul Gate very well. But now, they provoked him, so they would have to suffer his wrath.


    Hence, he set up a huge scheme, finding more than 20 True God Realm powerhouses, catching this branch in one fell swoop!


    Very soon, the dust settled.


    Someone as powerful as Shadowwind also turned to ashes in the end under the suppression of Duan Yi��s powerful means.


    Deathsoul Gate��s Nine Pledge Branch was utterly destroyed henceforth.


    As for some Celestial Deity level assassins, Ye Yuan already made the arrangements. Not one could escape.


    Duan Yi��s figure moved, arriving before Ye Yuan. He then said with a smile, ��Elder Ye, we were fortunate to not have failed the mission! This Shadowwind is also indeed hard to handle. If an Eighth Firmament True God came, they might really not be a match!��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Thanks for the trouble, Tower Master! Also, to all the seniors, today��s favor, this Ye has noted it down. In the future, when this Ye breaks through to True God Realm, there will definitely be generous repayment!��


    The moment everyone heard, their eyes lit up.


    No matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, he was also merely a Five-star Alchemy God. He was not much of a help to them.


    But once Ye Yuan broke through to the True God Realm, that was completely different!


    A divine-grade rank six divine pill that Ye Yuan casually refined would be immensely helpful to them.

 Chapter 1954 - Wariness

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    The people present all had deep connections with Ye Yuan.


    All these years in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Ye Yuan��s name had long spread far and wide.


    Many major forces far and near all came to find Ye Yuan to refine medicinal pills in the past.


    It was also because of this that Ye Yuan became acquainted with quite a few True God Realm powerhouses.


    After all, the Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses who could request Ye Yuan personally to refine pills were already not many.


    And this time, Ye Yuan found some reliable True God Realm powerhouses and borrowed the power of the Myriad Treasure Tower, utterly removing the ticking time bomb that was buried around him in one stroke.


    This was what was powerful about alchemists!


    The alchemist themselves might not be strong, but they would have many powerful friends.


    Once someone provoked them, the consequences were too ghastly to imagine.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan was currently Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder.


    This identity did not just represent the Myriad Treasure Tower but the embodiment of his strength.


    Being about to overpower a group of old monsters and become the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder, no one would doubt Ye Yuan��s strength.


    Duan Yi smiled and said, ��Elder Ye is too courteous! I investigated it just now, this Shadowwind has quite a lot of good stuff on him. Eliminating him, we also benefited a lot!��


    Nine Pledge Branch plundered quite a lot of natural treasures these few years.


    The vast majority of them were all on these True God Realm powerhouses.


    Completely annihilating them this time, these True God Realms could naturally obtain considerable benefits.


    Ye Yuan had long promised them that these things; he would not take a single cent, all of them being given to these True God powerhouses.


    ��Huhu, this is what everyone deserves! This Ye knows that by attacking the Deathsoul Gate, everyone also bore significant pressure. So this time, this Ye also strove to do things cleanly. After today, hope that everybody stays tight-lipped. Just take it as nothing happened. As for the aftermath of this incident, this Ye will bear the responsibility alone!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said to everyone.


    Everyone had slightly somber expressions, all secretly sighing that Ye Yuan was loyal enough.


    Concerning the Deathsoul Gate��s might, they were too clear.


    The reason why they dared to take action against the Deathsoul Gate was primarily still because Ye Yuan��s plan was flawless. The Deathsoul Gate would not know that they crushed one of their branches.


    If it was really known that they did it, no matter how many lives they had, it also would not be enough for the Deathsoul Gate to take vengeance on.


    Directly exterminating such a powerful branch of the Deathsoul Gate, the implications of this matter was huge.


    Deathsoul Gate��s actions afterward were hard to predict.


    Other people, they might not be able to investigate. But the first to bear the brunt would naturally be Ye Yuan.


    If the Deathsoul Gate really struck a vicious blow against Ye Yuan, he would definitely find it hard to ward it off.


    It was just that Ye Yuan took an unusual approach and caught the Nine Pledge Branch in one fell swoop. This would give the Deathsoul Gate a tremendous shock and make them not dare to rash act against him.


    A branch being eradicated, this was something that had never happened before to the Deathsoul Gate.


    Duan Yi cupped his fists toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Elder Ye��s high morality reaching the clouds, we��ve long heard of it. This Deathsoul Gate��s matter, we won��t be hypocritical either. We��re indeed scared of their vengeance. It��s just that this way, Elder Ye and the Deathsoul Gate��s discord will be considered sowed. Better to be a little more careful in the future.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Relax, this Ye has a score in my heart.��


    Duan Yi nodded his head and said, ��Now that it��s settled, we��ll each leave. In the future, if Elder Ye has any errands, feel free to instruct us.��


    Done talking, everyone dispersed on their own.


    Returning to Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan ordered Zuo Shujie to execute the five Deathsoul Gate assassins in public, to hold a memorial ceremony for the civilians who died in vain.


    Toward this, the civilians naturally clapped their hands in joy.


    In the city, there were cheers everywhere. People��s support for Ye Yuan even reached its peak.


    The news of the Nine Pledge Branch being destroyed reached the Deathsoul Gate very quickly.


    Inside a certain great imperial capital��s City Lord Manor, a man in black knelt down in front of a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing.


    This middle-aged man had a deep and imposing aura, it was even more unfathomable than True God Realm powerhouses.


    This person was shockingly an Empyrean Realm powerhouse!


    No one would have expected that this city lord was actually a member of the Deathsoul Gate!


    The black-clothed man was filled with righteous indignation as he said, ��Lord Bloodrain, the Nine Pledge Branch��s strength ranks near the top among the various major branches. A branch being destroyed is unprecedented humiliation to our Deathsoul Gate! We must eliminate this Ye Yuan!��


    The Nine Pledge Branch was the territory that he was in charge of. The Nine Pledge Branch being silently destroyed made him extremely alarmed and furious.


    They were alarmed, questioning what kind of power would actually destroy the Nine Pledge Branch without a sound.


    Fury was that this matter was a huge provocation to their Deathsoul Gate.


    That middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, but his expression appeared very calm and he just said coolly, ��This matter ends here.��


    The black-clothed person trembled all over, his face revealing a look of disbelief as he said, ��Lord Bloodrain, drop �� dropping it just like this? The Nine Pledge Branch had more than 10 True God Realm powerhouses!��


    True God Realm powerhouses were backbone existences to any faction.


    The time and resources needed to groom a True God Realm powerhouse were simply unimaginable.


    Unless it was some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda��s peerless geniuses, otherwise, wanting to reach True God this realm, it required at least several tens of thousands, even several hundreds of thousands of years.


    More than ten True God Realm powerhouses added together, how great were the Deathsoul Gate��s losses?


    It was simply immeasurable!


    This black-clothed person wished to eat Ye Yuan��s flesh raw right now.


    But Lord Bloodrain said to drop the matter!


    Bloodrain said coolly, ��This matter, I��ve already reported it to the higher-ups. They also said that this matter, it was indeed our intel that was wrong. The faction behind Ye Yuan might be powerful until we can��t imagine it. We can��t provoke him! Otherwise, the implications are too great!��


    The black-clothed person had a look of unwillingness as he said, ��Forget about those initial-stage True Gods, but the Nine Pledge Branch had an Eighth Firmament True God, two Seventh Firmament True Gods, and five Sixth Firmament True Gods. Could it be that �� they died in vain?��


    ��Our Deathsoul Gate is a tall tree that catches the wind to begin with. The major forces eyeing us are not few. If people are gone, they can be groomed again. But once the implications get too big, it will shake the entire Deathsoul Gate��s foundation. Can you bear the responsibilities?�� Bloodrain said in a solemn voice.


    The black-clothed person trembled all over and could not help falling silent.


    Bloodrain continued, ��Being able to destroy a high-order branch without a sound, you think about it; how powerful the strength it requires?! Before investigating the faction behind Ye Yuan clearly, you��re not to touch him. Understood?��


    Wiping out a branch��s den and eradicating the entire branch, the difficulty level of the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    In the history of the Deathsoul Gate, there had also been many times when branches were exposed and wiped out.


    It was just that the Deathsoul Gate��s means were extremely seasoned. Even if the den was annihilated, there were very few powerhouses that were exterminated.


    Even if they were exterminated, there was also just one or two, maybe even three or four.


    But this time, more than ten True God powerhouses were all wiped out. Not even a single Celestial Deity Realm assassin escaped.


    A faction capable of accomplishing this, one could not even find more than a few in the entire Heavenspan World!


    Furthermore, this battle did not have any traces or inkling spread out. How Shadowwind they all died, no one knew about it.


    This kind of terrifying means, even Bloodrain felt terrified thinking about it.


    Continue to find trouble with Ye Yuan?


    What difference was there from courting death?

 Chapter 1955 - Six Veins Stellar Pill

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Inside the garden, an elderly man and a young man sat opposite facing each other, chatting away happily.


    ��Hahaha! Indeed well-deserving of being an emperor surmounting child. Not seeing you for a mere few hundred years, didn��t expect that you��re already a member of my generation! This cultivation speed is truly terrifying!��


    ��Huhu, it��s just that there were some fortuitous encounters these few years. Rather, not seeing for a few centuries, senior��s elegance remains as before!��


    The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, ��Are you making fun of this old man? During the last time, this old man suffered a great loss of vitality. Through these few years of recuperation and rest, coupled with expending countless spirit medicines, I barely managed to recover some life.��


    The young man smiled and said, ��Therefore, aren��t I here?��


    The old man shook his head and said smilingly, ��Some vitality can be recovered in a thousand years. So you don��t need to make this trip.��


    The young man said, ��Junior received Senior��s great kindness. Coming here this time, it��s in order to treat Senior��s ailment once and for all.��


    The old man could not help being shocked when he heard that and said in surprise, ��Could it be that �� you��ve already touched that threshold?��


    The young man smiled slightly as he nodded. When the old man saw the situation, he was wildly ecstatic.


    These elderly man and youth were precisely Extreme Light Imperial City��s Profound Secrets Pavilion��s Pavilion Lord, Jian Hongxiao, and Ye Yuan.


    After the Deathsoul Gate��s storm, Ye Yuan laid down many contingency plans in Heavenly Eagle, but the Deathsoul Gate did not have any stirrings.


    These days, Ye Yuan felt that he already reached the bottleneck and was going to break through to rank six very soon, so he thought of coming to find Jian Hongxiao.


    The sixth level cultivation method of Ye Yuan��s Chaos Heavenspan Canon was going to be deduced completely very soon.


    Once it was deduced entirely, Ye Yuan would be able to step into the next major realm.


    Hence, after Ye Yuan made the arrangements for Heavenly Eagle��s affairs, he hurried over to Extreme Light Imperial City.


    Seeing Jian Hongxiao again, Ye Yuan did not have that deep as an ocean feeling like last time anymore.


    The present Ye Yuan, his fleshy body already broke through to rank six. His strength could even overpower Second Firmament True Gods.


    He could tell with one glance that Jian Hongxiao was at the True God Realm before suffering Heavenly Dao��s backlash.


    ��Heh, these words are also a little too overbearingly haughty, right? How many Ninth Firmament Celestial Deities spend several tens of thousands of years when stuck before True God Realm? Even if your talent is outstanding, without several decades or several centuries, it��s also hard to break through, right?�� Jian Chen said with disdain.


    Ever since seeing Ye Yuan, Jian Chen��s expression was extremely complicated.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan arrived at Extreme Light Imperial City, he was merely an initial-stage Divine Lord Realm powerhouse.


    His master wasting his essence to divine for Ye Yuan, he was rather contemptuous in his heart, feeling that Master��s decision was not worth it at all.


    Jian Hongxiao��s longevity suffered a great loss and already did not have much time to live.


    The lost essence was easy to make up for, but the lost longevity was hard to make up for again.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan only used a short few hundred years and already reached Ninth Firmament True God, already caught up to him in terms of cultivation realm.


    Jian Chen felt another distinct emotion in his heart.


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak. Jian Hongxiao looked at Jian Chen with a meaningful glance and said with a smile, ��Chen-er, your visual prowess isn��t there yet! Little Friend Ye��s splendor is converged within, skin like congealed fat1, his looks changing drastically. He already cultivated to the sixth transformation golden body. Hence, that��s why Master called him a member of my generation.��


    When Jian Chen heard that, his pupils constricted!


    But Jian Hongxiao��s following words made him even more incredibly shocked.


    Jian Hongxiao looked toward Ye Yuan, as he said, ��Furthermore �� Little Friend Ye��s situation is very alike the legendary perfect sixth transformation golden body. Wonder if this old man guessed correctly?��


    Ye Yuan also had an astonished look from what Jian Hongxiao said and immediately smiled bitterly and said, ��Senior really has good eyesight. You hit it right on the mark!��


    Jian Hongxiao had a smug look, stroked his beard, and smiled as he said, ��Huhu, this old man has been training this pair of eyes all my life. Although I can��t deduce your destiny, some things can��t be hidden.��


    Ye Yuan also clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard that and said with cupped fists, ��Senior has arcane sight, Ye Yuan admires.��


    Jian Chen was long shocked until he could not speak by the side.


    A perfect sixth transformation golden body, that was a legendary existence among body cultivating martial artists, its strength being extremely formidable.


    He did not expect that it actually appeared on Ye Yuan.


    What he never thought was that Ye Yuan actually stepped into rank six so quickly.


    Having a perfect sixth transformation golden body, that was a genuine rank six powerhouse!


    He had been stuck at Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity for God knows how many years already, but he was unable to touch that bottleneck from start to finish.


    In contrast, his disparity with Ye Yuan was too great!


    ��Humph! So what if it��s perfect sixth transformation golden body? Putting aside that he hasn��t broken through to the True God Realm yet, even if he really broke through, how can he refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill within a short time? And how can Master��s torment of backlash be dispelled?�� Jian Chen said with a cold snort.


    Jian Hongxiao��s brows furrowed, and he berated, ��Insolence! Chen-er, in the martial arts world, strength reigns supreme. Since Ye Yuan is already a member of my generation, how can it be your turn to be so insolent?��


    But Ye Yuan��s brows raised up when he heard that and waved his hand and said, ��Nothing serious. Brother Jian Chen is older than me in the first place. Furthermore, he��s already worried about Senior��s body. Huhu, moreover �� he��ll also be a member of our generation before long.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan fished out a small medicinal bottle and passed it to Jian Chen, saying with a smile, ��Brother Jian Chen, this is the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill that this Ye refined. Please kindly accept it. This Ye received Senior��s great kindness and has nothing to it repay with. This medicinal pill, just take it as a bit of interest.��


    With the Myriad Treasure Tower as his backer, Ye Yuan naturally did not lack spirit medicines now. Refining another few Sun Moon Azure Sky Pills was naturally not difficult.


    It was just that even so, the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pills on Ye Yuan were not many either. After all, this level of spirit medicines, the Myriad Treasure Tower also could not possibly supply endlessly.


    As for Jian Hongxiao, Ye Yuan was very grateful in his heart. If not for him making strenuous efforts to deduce White Light��s whereabouts, he would probably harbor a grievance all his life.


    Ye Yuan could naturally tell that Jian Chen was the disciple that Jian Hongxiao valued the most.


    This Jian Chen was clearly stuck at Celestial Deity Realm for many years and had been unable to break through all along, that was why resentment was born in his heart.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would give him such a precious medicinal pill.


    When Jian Hongxiao master and disciple heard this, they immediately had blank faces.


    Jian Chen received the medicinal bottle somewhat woodenly and instinctively sunk a wisp of divine sense to examine, his entire person immediately turning into stone.


    ��V-Vast spirit divine-grade! I �� Did I see wrongly?��


    When Jian Chen spoke, even his tongue wasn��t straight anymore.


    He sunk a wisp of divine-grade to examine once more, the result obtained was still vast spirit divine-grade!


    A vast spirit divine pill, he had never seen before in this life, let alone talk about a vast spirit divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill!


    At this very moment, his whole mind went blank, completely did not know what he was thinking about.


    He only knew that he seemed to have hit the jackpot!


    Hearing Jian Chen��s words, even if Jian Hongxiao was very knowledgeable and experienced, his mouth did not close for a long time.


    ��L-Little Friend Ye, this �� this medicinal pill is too precious. Jian Chen can��t accept it!��


    When Jian Chen heard that, his entire body could not help trembling. His face was full of unwillingness to let go, but the small medicinal bottle in his hand was gripped even tighter.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said smilingly, ��Senior doesn��t have to be like this. This Ye Yuan��s eyes, a thousand, even ten thousand vast spirit divine pills are also not as important as a brother��s life! Brother Jian Chen needs this right now, so let him accept it. Additionally, the Six Veins Stellar Pill that Brother Jian Chen mentioned just now, what medicinal pill is it?��

 Chapter 1956 - Origin Pill Realm!

    Jian Hongxiao had long seen through that Ye Yuan would definitely repay his kindness, but he also did not expect that the moment Ye Yuan made his move, it was such a valuable gift.


    And this was merely a bit of interest from what Ye Yuan said!


    A vast spirit divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, its value was sufficient to match up to an imperial city!


    This was because a vast spirit divine-grade Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill could create a True God Realm powerhouse with near certainty.


    Did imperial cities have True God Realms?


    The significance of a True God Realm powerhouses, everyone in the entire Heavenspan World knew about it. So how could Jian Hongxiao not know?


    This gift of Ye Yuan was too great!


    Jian Hongxiao sucked in a deep breath and said with a sigh, ��What I gave you was a melon, but what you repaid with was a precious jade! Little Friend Ye, this gift of yours is too heavy! Forget it; since it��s Little Friend Ye��s good intentions, Chen-er, you accept it.��


    Jian Chen��s entire body trembled, his face revealing a look of wild elation.


    With this divine rank medicinal pill, his breakthrough to the True God Realm was right around the corner!


    Jian Hongxiao��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��In a daze for what? Why haven��t you come over to show Little Friend Ye your respect?��


    Jian Chen startled awake and hurriedly came in front of Ye Yuan. Kneeling down with a thud, he said, ��Jian Chen thanks Brother Ye, this kindness will never be forgotten!��


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped Jian Chen up and said smilingly, ��Brother Jian Chen is regarding me too much as a stranger. Just a medicinal pill, it��s nothing. Presumably, Brother Jian Chen is already too impatient to wait and wants to go in closed-seclusion, hurry on then.��


    Jian Chen had a look of embarrassment and shame. He was still mocking Ye Yuan in all manners just now. In the end, with a turn of a head, Ye Yuan gave such a big gift.


    He glanced at Jian Hongxiao rather timidly, Jian Hongxiao pulled a long face and said huffily, ��Go on!��


    Jian Chen was akin to being granted amnesty, hurriedly taking his leave.


    The two people sat down before Jian Hongxiao slowly opened his mouth and said, ��My Jian Family��s members can be said to walk on the edge of a knife when divining the Heavenly Dao. Backlash naturally can��t be avoided as well. The ancestor��s ability connects to the heavens and penetrates the earth; it is not what the likes of us can imagine. He had once found the Medicine Ancestor and created my Jian Family��s unique medicinal pills together with the Medicine Ancestor, which can stand up to the agony of backlash. The Six Veins Stellar Pill is one of them.��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he suddenly came to a realization.


    To members of the Jian Family, suffering Heavenly Dao��s backlash was like eating common fare. What was different was just the degree of backlash.


    Treating the pain of backlash with medicinal pills, this was clearly a pretty good choice.


    But, hearing Jian Hongxiao��s words, Ye Yuan was also curious in his heart.


    What kind of figure was Medicine Ancestor?


    He already had half a foot stepped into Ancestor Realm, and he was a distinguished talent among Transcendent Heavenly Emperors.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could actually entice him to take action and develop such a series of medicinal pills for the Jian Family.


    This face was not an ordinary kind of big!


    But that level of character was still too far away from the current Ye Yuan.


    ��Since there��s the Six Veins Stellar Pill, then why was Senior banished to this Extreme Light Imperial City?�� Ye Yuan could not help asking curiously.


    Jian Hongxiao let out a sigh and said, ��Little Friend Ye doesn��t know this, but this stellar pill is the hardest type to refine among all the medicinal pills. It is comparable to level nine medicinal pills. The Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital that this old man was at, nobody could refine it at all too. Back then, the Heavenly Dao backlash that this old man suffered was too severe. If not for City Lord bestowing a Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill, this old man would have long passed away. It��s just that the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill is far too lacking compared to the Six Vein Stellar Pill. Furthermore, the quality isn��t high, that��s why this old man lingered on with my dying breath until today.��


    Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly when he heard that. An exalted True God Realm powerhouse actually ended up in a tiny little imperial city, Jian Hongxiao was probably unresigned to it in his heart too, right?


    ��Senior, since that��s the case, can you lend the Six Vein Stellar Pill��s pill formula for me to view?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled bitterly and said, ��My Jian Family delves into the Dao of Divination, those who are skilled in refining pills are in the minority after all. Accomplished ones are even scanty few. Furthermore, this Six Vein Stellar Pill��s pill formula is my Jian Family��s special secret recipe. There��s only the pill formula in the great imperial capital, but this old man doesn��t know it.��


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��Since that��s the case, then Ye Yuan will follow Senior and make a trip to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital.��


    Jian Hongxiao was overjoyed when he heard that and said agitatedly, ��Really?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If not for Senior divining fate for me at the risk of death, my brother would likely have been very hard to save. Just making a trip to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, it��s no big deal.��


    Jian Hongxiao nodded and said, ��Then �� I��ll have to trouble Little Friend Ye to make this trip! You go into closed-seclusion for some time in Extreme Light Imperial City. After you break through to the True God Realm, we��ll set off for Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital.��


    ��


    Inside the hidden chamber, Ye Yuan��s eyes were shut and lost in thought, his brows tightly locked.


    ��At this rate, wouldn��t my chaos divine sea disappear completely and become a tiny little pill?��


    Regarding the final result that he deduced, Ye Yuan was also rendered speechless.


    He discovered that he could not understand the Chaos Heavenspan Canon more and more, even though this was the cultivation method that he deduced himself.


    When others reached True God Realm, the small worlds within their bodies were already incomparably vast, and even starting to develop life already.


    But for him?


    His divine sea became smaller and smaller, and his chaos divine essence became more and more condensed.


    At the rate of the current deduction results, Ye Yuan would have to condense this divine sea into a tiny pill after rank six.


    It was just that at this point, Ye Yuan did not have a way out anymore.


    Furthermore, up to this point, even though his realm differed greatly from others, in terms of strength, he flung those in the same realm several streets behind. There did not seem to be any harm.


    ��Forget it; the wood has already been made into a boat, follow all the way then! I want to see where this road leads to in the end! Since I have to compress the divine sea to the limit and become a pill after rank six, I��ll call it Origin Pill Realm then!��


    Cultivation method already formed, Ye Yuan did not hesitate anymore, directly swallowing several medicinal pills and started assaulting the bottleneck.


    Rumble!


    The chaos divine essence in Ye Yuan��s divine sea seemed like a millstone, slowly turning.


    Countless divine essence converged inside, like grinding beans. That millstone became smaller and smaller, increasingly smaller.


    Those blue divine marks were also converging into the millstone continuously.


    The internal space of Ye Yuan��s dantian area was being compressed bit by bit.


    ��Ugh ����


    Ye Yuan gave a muffled groan, feeling an intense swelling pain in his abdomen area.


    However, Ye Yuan knew that this was far from the end!


    Wanting to compress chaos divine essence, the energy required was extremely horrifying. Fortunately, Ye Yuan was long prepared, refining a batch of vast spirit divine pills to use to break through.


    Ye Yuan only felt like his dantian area was practically about to explode.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan��s physical body had already reached the realm of perfection long ago. Some pain was nothing to him.


    No idea how long had passed either, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across inside Ye Yuan��s interior space. The chaos divine essence disappeared completely!


    And inside Ye Yuan��s interior space, there was only a tiny little origin pill left. It was just the size of a fist.


    ��Huuuu ����


    Ye Yuan slowly let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he stepped into Origin Pill Realm!


    Ye Yuan attempted to mobilize the divine essence within his body and suddenly threw a punch out!


    Bang!


    This hidden room directly exploded, turning into dust.


    Fortunately, the place where Ye Yuan was at was the place Jian Hongxiao specially opened up for him.


    Otherwise, the consequences would be too dreadful to imagine!

 Chapter 1957 - Seer Nebula

    ��Master, I finally broke through to True God Realm! I can bring you back to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital!��


    Jian Chen rushed into Profound Secrets Pavilion with an excited look, extremely agitated like a small child.


    But the moment he entered, he discovered that his master here actually had a guest.


    This guest was none other than precisely Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Chen and said with a smile, ��Congratulations, Brother Jian Chen!��


    Jian Hongxiao also smiled and said, ��Since you broke through, then pack your things. Depart with us tomorrow.��


    But Jian Chen stood there in a daze, looking at Ye Yuan with an astonished look.


    ��You �� You broke through too?�� Jian Chen said in disbelief.


    Jian Hongxiao said, ��Ye Yuan already broke through for quite a while. If not for waiting for him, we��d have long departed.��


    Jian Chen had a look of astonishment. Ye Yuan��s accumulations should have been far from his. Why did he break through so much faster than him instead?


    Even though there was the Sun Moon Azure Sky Pill, it was also not to this extent, right?


    ��


    With Jian Chen coming out of seclusion, the three people stepped onto the road that headed for Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� descendants did not seem to have a fixed territory. They tend to occupy a city or were even under other Heavenly Emperors�� rule.


    But this city was like a country within a country; no one could manage it.


    Just like Extreme Light Imperial City, although it was just a tiny little imperial city, even imperial capitals, great imperial capitals, or even Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, never questioned their affairs too.


    Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital was likewise the same!


    The Jian Family occupying the land of a city seemed to be for the sake of influencing the surroundings.


    Their existence was somewhat similar to Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure, but it was also somewhat different.


    All in all, the Jian Family was very strong, strong until no one dared to provoke!


    Along with the increase in strength, Ye Yuan could also increasingly feel the might of the Jian Family��s power and influence.


    ��This is Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital? Indeed impressive! I seem to be able to feel that the air is rippling with a mysterious and unfathomable aura. It was as if immersed in a vast sea of stars. Mn? Why do I feel like the entire city is stirring?�� Ye Yuan��s brows suddenly furrowed as he cried out in surprise.


    It was also Jian Chen��s first time coming. His face was full of solemness as if he was on a pilgrimage.


    Jian Hongxiao nodded and said, ��Little Friend Ye is indeed extraordinary! It��s said that each great imperial capital has an array formation set up by Ancestor Profound Secrets with great divine ability. Each house in the city, every street, all secretly contains the functioning Dao of the circulatory cycle of stars. It��s an enormous array formation. So for countless tens of thousands of years, people come and go, but the arrangement in the city has never changed before but it has also always been revolving. But situated inside, nobody can detect it at all. I didn��t expect that Little Friend Ye detected it the moment we entered the city.��


    Ye Yuan��s thoughts were carried away as he listened. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� good fortune was immense. The might of his means were simply fantastical.


    Revolving a circulatory cycle of stars with a great imperial capital, divining Heavenly Dao.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    ��Impressive! Truly impressive! One day, this Ye really wants to meet Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed with admiration.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, ��If it were others, I��d definitely laugh at him for being overly conceited. But you, huhu, perhaps there might be this chance in the future.��


    Emperor surmounting aura, the chances of becoming a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse was extremely high.


    Once he became a Heavenly Emperor, then he would be someone of the same generation as Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets. There might really be the chance.


    Of course, he also merely just had a chance.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was different from ordinary Heavenly Emperors, at his level, annihilating Heavenly Emperors with a wave of his hand was also normal!


    ��Yo, isn��t this Elder Hongxiao? I was wondering why magpies in the courtyard keep chirping today. It turns out that Elder Hongxiao has returned! Hahaha ����


    Just as they were talking, a few people were clustered around a young man as they walked over.


    Jian Hongxiao��s brows furrowed and he said, ��You��re �� Jian Yun?��


    ��Tsk tsk, truly hard on you, for Elder Hongxiao to actually remember this, this disappointing brat. However �� I really admire your courage, to actually still have the face to come back!�� Jian Yun said with a mocking look on his face.


    Jian Hongxiao��s brows furrowed, seemingly not willing to say anymore. He said to Ye Yuan and Jian Chen, ��Let��s go!��


    But Jian Yun extended his hand to block and said cheerfully, ��Don��t go! Come, come, come, everybody come take a look. You all probably don��t recognize this person, right? Let me introduce him to everybody. This old man is the former Stellar Hall��s elder, Jian Hongxiao!��


    With him saying so, it immediately drew many people to surround and watch.


    Hearing the two words ��Stellar Hall��, everyone��s faces revealed extremely surprised expressions.


    Even Jian Chen also trembled all over, looking at Jian Hongxiao in great astoundment, as if it was his first time knowing him.


    ��M-Master, you �� you were actually once a Stellar Hall elder? Why have you never told me before?�� Jian Chen said with an excited look.


    Jian Hongxiao��s expression was very unnatural and did not answer Jian Chen.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look, not knowing what special aspect this Stellar Hall had, to actually be able to cause such a big stir.


    ��Stellar Hall elder? This �� This is a joke, right? How can a Celestial Deity Realm old man possibly be a Stellar Hall elder?��


    ��Jian Hongxiao, this name seems to be rather familiar!��


    ��It��s a little familiar, but can��t remember where I��ve heard it before.��


    ��


    Jian Yun looked at everyone��s reaction with a broad smile on his face.


    ��Heh, speaking of Elder Hongxiao, that was once a great figure who was at the peak of popularity at one time in the Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital! Augury and astronomy, viewing aura and observing people, there was nothing he couldn��t do. People gave the title ��Seer Nebula.�� Rumors had it that the Stellar Hall would be managed by him in the future!��


    Jian Yun spoke freely and boldly as if speaking on a subject with great familiarity. But the expression on his face was full of disdain.


    He was naturally not doing so in order to flatter Jian Hongxiao.


    Sure enough, the vacantness in people��s eyes gradually dissipated. They finally recalled who this person was.


    ��Seer Nebula! He��s actually Seer Nebula!��


    ��Turns out that he��s that Seer Nebula who used a forbidden art and killed his brother and several dozen Stellar Hall disciples!��


    ��How can this kind of person still have the face to live in this world? Why doesn��t he go and die?��


    ��


    Jian Yun��s words seemed to have thoroughly ignited everyone��s memories.


    Jian Hongxiao��s name, the people who knew were not many. But Seer Nebula seemed to be extremely famous in Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital.


    Except, the current Jian Hongxiao seemed to have become a rat crossing the street.


    For some time, countless cursing sounds drifted over, floating into Jian Hongxiao��s ears.


    The wild elation in Jian Chen��s heart instantly became awkwardness. He looked at Jian Hongxiao in disbelief as he muttered, ��M-Master, is what they said true?��


    Jian Yun smiled and said, ��Haha, you take a look at everyone��s reactions and you��ll know whether it��s real or not. Back then, your master disregarded his brother��s objections and activated a forbidden art, wanting to forcefully go against the heavens and change fate. In the end, it triggered the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere. The 36 Stellar Hall disciples in charge of the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere were instantly sucked dry! This incident, could it be that he has never told you before?��


    Jian Chen looked at Jian Hongxiao in disbelief. His so many years of hard work, wanting to break through to the True God Realm, it was because he wanted to join the Stellar Hall.


    But, arriving at Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, he discovered that his own master was actually the Stellar Hall��s sinner!

 Chapter 1958 - Ouch, My Eyes!

    ��Master, is what he said true or not?�� Jian Chen bellowed.


    In a blink of an eye, Jian Hongxiao��s noble image in his heart collapsed, making him unable to accept it.


    Looking at those countless spittles, he was even ashamed to be associated with Jian Hongxiao.


    Jian Hongxiao gazed at the blue sky, seemingly recalling the past, appearing melancholic.


    Finally, he nodded slowly and said with a sigh, ��What he said was right. Master �� is the Stellar Hall��s sinner!��


    Jian Chen looked at Jian Hongxiao rather disbelievingly. It was as if it was his first time knowing him.


    ��Why? Why have you never told me before?!�� Jian Chen roared.


    Jian Yun laughed by the side and said, ��If he were to tell you, would you still be willing to acknowledge him as your master? This kind of person, huhu, isn��t fit to have disciples at all! Also, you, kid, being associated with this kind of person, your lifespan will reduce!��


    In the second half of the sentence, he said it to Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he also had a look of disgust on his face and moved a few steps toward Jian Yun��s side, as if very disgusted with Jian Hongxiao.


    ��What this brother said is right. I was also deceived by him. That��s why I would follow him to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. Actually, I just wanted to find someone to take a look at my fate, but he��s not suitable to do it now,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    When Jian Hongxiao heard this, a hint of a rueful smile appeared on his face.


    At present, even Ye Yuan had left him.


    He also did not expect that the moment he entered the city, he would have his unsavory history exposed by people.


    Under such circumstances, he could not explain it away even with a hundred mouths.


    Of course, he did not want to explain anything either.


    Jian Yun laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��He��s a bereaved dog, how could he still have this skill? Want to look at your destiny, you naturally have to find the Stellar Hall!��


    Ye Yuan said embarrassedly when he heard that, ��Sigh, little brother, I, am only from a small place, how could I have the connections to know the Stellar Hall��s masters?��


    ��Heh, you have eyes but fail to see, right? My family��s young master is precisely a disciple of the Stellar Hall, augury and astronomy, he��s skilled in all.��


    ��Our young master is the Stellar Hall��s rising star. He is an existence who might become a Stellar Hall��s elder in the future!��


    By the side, someone immediately started lauding to the skies.


    Even Jian Hongxiao also revealed a look of surprise as he said, ��You actually entered the Stellar Hall?��


    Jian Yun had a pleased look and said with a spurious smile, ��Are you very disappointed? Back then, you kept prating on about how I��ll achieve nothing and was a piece of garbage. Now? This young master, I, have already become a Stellar Hall��s disciple, but you became a dog who lost its home!��


    Jian Yun��s face was triumphantly jaunty, full of the delight of having slapped faces.


    In reality, he understood what was the deal with him being a Stellar Hall disciple.


    Without a powerful father, it was impossible for him to enter the Stellar Hall.


    This play today was also arranged by his father, making him block here and humiliate Jian Hongxiao.


    His father, Jian Hao, was presently a Stellar Hall elder with an awe-inspiring reputation.


    When performing divination a few days ago, he happened to divine that Jian Hongxiao would be returning within the next few days. So he arranged for his son to wait here.


    Many years ago, Jian Hongxiao prophesied more than once, saying that Jian Yun would never amount to much.


    Coming to slap Jian Hongxiao��s face, he was naturally delighted to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan said in surprise when he heard that, ��So that��s how it is! Then this little brother really had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan even gave a bow toward Jian Yun.


    Jian Hongxiao��s brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd.


    He still thought that Ye Yuan was intentionally finding an excuse to draw a clean line with him just now. He could understand this. But Ye Yuan��s style right now was very unlike him!


    Jian Yun had a smug look as he said with a smile, ��Huhu, forget it, you following this old fellow, it��s also normal that you��re inexperienced and ignorant. This young master, I, am in a good mood today and will take a look at your destiny.��


    Ye Yuan was delighted when he heard that and said with clasped hands, ��Then thank you very much, Young Master Jian Yun!��


    Jian Yun also had the intention of showing off. Circulating his cultivation method, he cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan.


    ��Ouch, my eyes! My eyes can��t see anything anymore! My eyes are blind!��


    Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain in his eyes like it was being burned. He was already unable to open his eyes anymore.


    Jian Yun fell to the ground in agony and started rolling on the ground non-stop.


    The surrounding onlookers turned pale with fright. How could they still care about Jian Hongxiao, all of them were looking toward Jian Yun in curiosity one by one.


    Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan dumbfounded with his mouth agape, not expecting that he actually played this act.


    And this Jian Yun actually really foolishly cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan.


    Wasn��t this looking for abuse?


    Forget about him right now, even if he was at his prime, he also would not dare to cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan!


    ��Senior, let��s go!�� Ye Yuan smiled at Jian Hongxiao and said.


    Jian Hongxiao had a moved look, he knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately causing a disturbance, diverting those people��s attention, letting them successfully get away.


    Jian Hongxiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was interrupted by Ye Yuan. He said, ��This place isn��t the place to speak, talk again later.��


    The two people moved, but Jian Chen was still standing on the spot in a daze.


    Jian Hongxiao heaved a sigh and turned around and left.


    Smack!


    Jian Chen��s shoulder was patted by Ye Yuan, making him jump.


    ��Sometimes, what the eyes see might not be real. But at times, what the eyes see is the most authentic. Therefore, don��t use eyes to see, use the heart to feel. Think about it, how Senior treated you these few years!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan slowly left.


    Jian Chen��s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing a complicated look. Finally, he still gritted his teeth and followed after.


    ��


    Before the bed, an old man was currently diagnosing Jian Yun��s pulse. His brows were tightly locked.


    ��Master Bu Chen, I beg you, you must save me! I can��t become a blind person!�� Jian Yun wailed.


    ��Shut up! Don��t disturb Master��s pulse-reading!�� Jian Hao said in a solemn voice.


    Jian Yun indeed did not dare to wail anymore, shutting his mouth sensibly.


    After a long time, Bu Chen slowly got up and shook his head slightly.


    Jian Hao was startled inwardly, hurriedly going up to ask, ��Brother Bu Chen, how is it?��


    Bu Chen shook his head and said, ��I��m afraid this pair of eyes are crippled!��


    Jian Hao��s heart thumped and he said, ��How �� can this be? Yun-er only used the aura viewing art a little and his eyes are crippled?��


    Bu Chen said, ��This is Heavenly Dao backlash. Furthermore, it��s extremely strong. With this old man��s strength, I��m powerless to turn the tables.��


    Jian Hao said in shock, ��How can it be? You��re the person with the strongest alchemy strength in the city, if even you��re helpless, then �� then �� oh, right, since it��s Heavenly Dao backlash, can the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill save him?��


    Bu Chen shook his head and said, ��With this old man��s judgment, I��m afraid that the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill is powerless to turn the tables too. Unless �� one can refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill!��


    Jian Hao took several steps back in the row when he heard that, saying absent-mindedly, ��This �� How is this possible? Just taking one look and the Heavenly Dao backlash would be so severe?��


    Jian Hao regretted it until his intestines turned green now. He only wanted to let his son go and humiliate Jian Hongxiao, making him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.


    Who would have thought that he actually harmed his own son to become a blind person!


    This level of Heavenly Dao backlash was akin to bone-festering maggots. Even if a new pair of eyes were swapped in, it was to no avail too. This problem was the hardest to deal with.


    Members of the Jian Family feared this level of Heavenly Dao backlash the most.


    It was just that Jian Hao could not understand even after cudgeling his brain. Why would it cause such severe consequences with just having one glance?

 Chapter 1959 - The City Lord Wants to See Him

    ��Thank you, Ye Yuan,�� Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, don��t your Jian Family revere the Profound Secrets Pavilion as supreme? What��s this Stellar Hall?��


    Actually, Ye Yuan did not figure out just what was the Stellar Hall until now too.


    Jian Hongxiao said, ��The Stellar Hall is where the core of the Profound Secrets Pavilion lies. Those able to enter it are all one-in-ten-thousand powerhouses, having outstanding strength in the Dao of Divination. And the Stellar Hall��s elders, there are only a total of eight. Only the strongest ones can assume the post.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, roughly understanding in his heart.


    Although the Heavenspan World was big, the great imperial capitals that the Jian Family occupied were not their own. Those able to enter the Stellar Hall were all elites among elites, having outstanding talent in the Dao of Divination.


    No wonder Jian Hongxiao back then gave him an unfathomable feeling.


    Even if his cultivation realm fell drastically, his divination arts were still unfathomable. It was far from what those in the same rank could compare to.


    ��A Stellar Hall, only great imperial capitals have it. Furthermore, in each Stellar Hall, there��s a peak empyrean spirit treasure, the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere. The Stellar Hall��s responsibility is to borrow the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere to deduce Heavenly Dao. Each Stellar Hall elder manages one aspect of the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere, their responsibilities being enormous,�� Jian Hongxiao continued saying.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��So that��s how it is! That Jian Yun has a grudge with you?��


    Jian Hongxiao smiled bitterly and said, ��Jian Yun��s father, Jian Hao, was always suppressed by me back then. Because there can only be eight Stellar Hall elders, so he was never able to become an elder. As for that Jian Yun, I had once divined for him before and said that he��ll never amount to much. So this father and son pair have always had some resentment towards me.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m afraid it��s not resentment that simple. That Jian Hao should be afraid of you snatching his position of elder, right?��


    Jian Hongxiao nodded and said, ��With Jian Yun��s skill, he can��t divine my return. Most likely, this matter has Jian Hao��s hand involved. But with this play, Jian Yun will likely really become a cripple.��


    As these two people chatted, Jian Chen at one side wanted to speak but swallowed the words back.


    Ye Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said, ��Senior, the urgent matter on hand is that we��d better think of a way to get the pill formula fast.��


    Jian Hongxiao said in surprise, ��You still want to refine pills for me?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Look at what you��re saying, if not for the sake of refining pills, what did I come to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital with you for?��


    ��B-But you��re also aware, I��m the Stellar Hall��s sinner!�� Jian Hongxiao said.


    He even thought that through this incident, Ye Yuan probably would not refine pills for him anymore at all.


    After all, his unsavory past was exposed by people.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still insisted on refining pills for him.


    But Ye Yuan gave Jian Chen a glance and said smilingly, ��So what? You��re the senior that I, Ye Yuan, acknowledged, and you are a friend of mine. You showed kindness to me, Ye Yuan. The rest has nothing to do with me! Even if you become enemies with the world, this pill �� I��m refining for sure!��


    Jian Hongxiao and Jian Chen��s faces changed greatly when they heard that.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so loyal to friends.


    Jian Hongxiao was even more touched in his heart, tears already running down his old face.


    When you stand opposite of everyone in the world and someone stood on your side with a firm determination, that sensation could not be described using words.


    Actually, about this matter, Ye Yuan had his own judgment. Most likely, Jian Hongxiao had some painful topic. It was just that it was hard for him to say it out.


    Walking all the way to this point, Ye Yuan was no longer some ignorant person anymore. He still had some confidence in discerning people.


    Jian Hongxiao did not seem to be someone who had utter disregard for human life when doing things and facing people, and also did not have too much sinister air.


    Activating a forbidden art likely had other reasons.


    Furthermore, this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s city lord still saved Jian Hongxiao��s life with the Bright Moon Purple Cloud Pill in the end. This also affirmed Ye Yuan��s idea from the side-view.


    If Jian Hongxiao really activated the forbidden art for his own selfish reasons, that Empyrean powerhouses most likely would not have done that.


    ��Don��t you want to know what in the world happened back then?�� Jian Hongxiao asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you��re willing to say, you��d naturally tell me. If you��re not willing to say, why would I need to go and pick at your scar?��


    Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said with a sigh, ��Making such a friend, what do I still need! Ye Yuan, from today onward, you and I are sworn friends for life!��


    ��


    At this very moment, Jian Hao��s fury already burst through the horizon.


    He could be said to have racked his brain for the sake of this son and even let him enter the Stellar Hall.


    But in the end, Jian Yun was actually crippled!


    To the Jian Family��s members, eyes being blinded was equivalent to being a cripple.


    Six Veins Stellar Pill?


    Jian Hao never even thought about it!


    If there was such a medicinal pill, Jian Hongxiao also would not have left Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, feeling dejected back then.


    A medicinal pill that even the city lord could not get, where would he go to get one?


    ��Dad, you have to take revenge for me! That old thing, and also that punk, they definitely deliberately harmed me!�� Jian Yun roared.


    Jian Hao gritted his teeth and said, ��You rest assured, I��m going to make Jian Hongxiao that scoundrelly thing utterly disappear this time! Li Xun, bring a few people over for me and detained Jian Hongxiao three people over for me!��


    Behind Jian Hao, a Seventh Firmament True God powerhouse received the order and left.


    As a Stellar Hall elder, Jian Hao��s status was incomparably venerated. There was naturally no lack of some experts around him.


    Li Xun picked out a few people and headed over to the inn that Ye Yuan three people were staying at.


    ��Jian Hongxiao, get out for me! You dared to hurt my Stellar Hall��s disciple, you deserve a thousand deaths!��


    Outside the inn, Li Xun called out in a clear voice.


    ��Isn��t this Protector Li Xun who��s by Elder Jian Hao��s side? Who provoked them?��


    ��Tsk tsk, whoever it is, they will likely lose a layer of skin!��


    ��I heard that Elder Jian Hao��s only son, Jian Yun, suddenly became a blind man today. Could it have been done by this group of people?��


    ��


    Outside the inn, everyone was guessing optimistic about it, all waiting to watch a show.


    But no one came out and no one answered too.


    Li Xun��s brows furrowed and he called out in a clear voice once more, ��Fine, since you don��t know how to appreciate favors, then don��t blame us for not being courteous! The few of you guard outside, don��t let them run!��


    Before Li Xun came, he understood the situation long ago. These three people were merely two First Firmament True Gods and a Celestial Deity. Him coming to capture people was bombarding mosquitoes with a cannon, putting fine timber to petty use.


    But Jiao Hao was currently in a fit of rage, he naturally did not dare to be neglectful.


    Bang!


    Li Xun found the three people��s residence and directly shattered the door with a palm.


    ��Jian Hongxiao, what haughty airs you have. Do you really think that you��re still that Stellar Hall��s �� E-Elder Suyan, w-why are you here?��


    Inside the house, Jian Hongxiao was currently drinking opposite an old man, chatting away happily.


    When Li Xun saw that old man, his expression immediately became very ugly. He was even somewhat stuttering when speaking.


    This old man was called Jian Suyan, similarly a Stellar Hall elder.


    However, Jian Suyan��s status was much more venerated than Jian Hao.


    Because Jian Suyan was an Empyrean powerhouse!


    Jian Suyan drank a mouthful of tea and said without even turning his head back, ��You go back and tell Jian Hao. Tell him not to have ideas about Hongxiao anymore, the city lord wants to see him.��

 Chapter 1960 - I Can’t Give You

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Why would the city lord meet him? Furthermore, it��s even Lord Jian Suyan going to invite personally? Could it be �� they are going to let him enter the Stellar Hall anew?��


    Hearing the news that Li Xun brought back, Jian Hao��s thoughts could not help going wild.


    Indeed, during the period where Jian Hongxiao held the position of Stellar Hall��s elder, the city lord thought very highly of him.


    Meeting Jian Hongxiao again this time, could it be that he wanted to call him back anew?


    If this was the case, it was really quite troublesome!


    ��This �� it��s not what this lowly one can know.�� Li Xun said awkwardly.


    Jian Hao��s gaze suddenly turned sharp and he said viciously, ��What about that punk who caused Yun-er to become like this? Why wasn��t he captured here too? He��s the prime culprit! Capture him here for me immediately!��


    Jian Hongxiao had Jian Suyan protecting him. Jian Suyan was not what he, Jian Hao, could offend. But Ye Yuan was different.


    Li Xun said with a gloomy face, ��This lowly one wanted to bring him away too, but �� but Elder Suyan said that City Lord wants to see him too!��


    ��What?! What��s City Lord meeting this punk for? Could it be that �� this punk has some background?�� When Jian Hao heard this, he could not help jumping in fright.


    Li Xun thought about it and said, ��Elder, Young Master Yun only took one look at that kid and suffered Heavenly Dao backlash. Is it possible that �� that kid really has some aspect that surpasses others?��


    Jian Hao��s brows knitted even tighter. He pondered carefully, the more he thought, the more terrified he got.


    ��Although Yun-er��s aura viewing art is still lacking, he��s also a True God Realm powerhouse. Even if it��s the imperial aura, it��s also impossible to have such a huge backlash appear. Could it be that �� that kid possesses the emperor surmounting aura? Furthermore, it��s even a powerful existence among emperor surmounting auras? But �� But how is this possible?��


    Originally, because of Jian Yun��s backlash, Jian Hao was burning in rage and did not carefully think about this matter at all.


    But now, calming down and thinking about it, he immediately detected something amiss.


    He was a Stellar Hall elder, so how could he not be clear about the situation of the aura viewing art?


    To talk about making Jian Yun suffer Heavenly Dao backlash, unless Ye Yuan was carrying some terrifying treasure on him, or he was in possession of tremendous destiny.


    Regardless of which it was, Ye Yuan��s background was clearly not simple.


    But the problem was, where did Jian Hao find this kid, and also, what was the objective of bringing him to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital?


    Furthermore, City Lord even summoned this kid!


    This matter was likely not that simple.


    ��


    Walking into a vast hall, Ye Yuan felt as if he walked into a vast starry sky.


    In the center of the starry star, there was an enormous, but exquisite apparatus, currently slowly revolving.


    Ye Yuan sized the instrument up, feeling the powerful undulations coming off of the instrument, he guessed that this should be the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere.


    A gray-robed old man sat before it, his body radiating countless pale-yellow fine threads, probing into the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere with a thousand and one links.


    This old man gave Ye Yuan an incomparably deep feeling, just like this starry sky.


    The other party was clearly not looking at him, but Ye Yuan actually had a feeling of being seen through.


    After Jian Hongxiao entered this great hall, the expression on his face immediately became respectful, his body also seemingly becoming much stiffer.


    Clearly, he held that old man in great esteem.


    No idea how long had passed either, those fine threads slowly retreated into the old man��s body.


    Jian Hongxiao bowed down rather agitatedly, shouting out, ��Sinner Jian Hongxiao, pays respect to Lord Sutao!��


    ��Oh Hongxiao, long time no see,�� the old man slowly said.


    ��Yes, in a twinkle, it��s been more than 100 thousand years!��


    Jian Hongxiao actually had tears running down his old face.


    The old man��s gaze slowly shifted to Ye Yuan and sized him up carefully.


    ��You��re called Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with cupped fists, ��I pay respects to Lord Empyrean.��


    The old man��s gaze was profound as he said, ��Even this old man actually can��t see through your depths, indeed well-deserving of being emperor surmounting aura. Looking at it, you likely won��t be an ordinary Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in the future!��


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Senior is too kind.��


    The old man was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was taken by surprise.


    Reaching his boundary, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of Heavenly Dao. His perception toward danger was God knows how many times stronger than Jian Yun that kind of rookie.


    He wanted to employ the aura viewing art to observe Ye Yuan just now, but warning bells suddenly sounded in his heart and actually made him have a feeling of danger.


    He naturally knew about the matter of Jian Yun being blinded, and thought to himself: could it be that I would also become like that?


    But even if it was the emperor surmounting aura, with his skill, it also would not be to that extent, right?


    Currently, Jian Sutao was extremely conflicted in his heart. He very much wanted to activate the aura viewing art and take a look at Ye Yuan��s situation. But the moment he thought of Jian Yun��s outcome, he did not dare to do so anymore.


    As the lord of a city, an Empyrean powerhouse, he could not bear the consequences of becoming blind.


    Curiosity kills the cat; this kind of situation was still effective when placed on an Empyrean powerhouse.


    Thinking about it, Jian Sutao still gave up in the end.


    Once something really happened and he suffered Heavenly Dao backlash, he, this rank seven powerhouse, did not have the Seven Veins Stellar Pill to save him.


    At that time, he would be a blind man for life.


    This kind of result was not what he could accept.


    Jian Sutao looked towards Jian Hongxiao and opened his mouth and said, ��Back then, before you left, this Empyrean performed a divination for you and calculated that your path wasn��t severed. But didn��t think that �� it��s answered here.��


    Ye Yuan was terrified when he heard it. This level of augury skill was simply terrifying.


    100 thousand years ago, it was actually divined without the slightest error.


    100 thousand years ago, he was not even born yet!


    This kind of thing that was foreordained by the unseen; Jian Sutao himself also could not grasp it. But 100 thousand years since then, it truly appeared.


    Jian Hongxiao was also very surprised and said, ��Turns out that Your Excellency has long calculated for me before! I only calculated that my fate had a turn for the better recently too.��


    ��Hongxiao, the matter back then, was hard on you! Do you �� still bear a grudge against this Empyrean?


    Jian Hongxiao hurriedly knelt down and said, ��What��s Your Excellency saying? Casting the forbidden art for Fengqi was Hongxiao acting arbitrarily, resulting in causing a terrible calamity, and even almost affected the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere. I am the Stellar Hall��s sinner!��


    Jian Sutao heaved a sigh and said, ��It��s this Empyrean who is useless! The more one is a member of the Jian Family, the more helpless they tend to be. Clearly know that the disaster is in sight, but can only watch it happen helplessly, I��m afraid �� only reaching Ancestor��s realm, can one transform the rotten into something magical, right?��


    Jian Hongxiao also sighed and said, ��What I hate the most is having caused such severe consequences, but not being able to stop Fengqi from leaving. Sigh �� only hate that Hongxiao is powerless!��


    Ye Yuan listened quietly by the side, guessing in his heart.


    Sure enough, the matters back then were not that simple.


    Jian Hongxiao cast the art of defying heaven and changing fate for a person called Fengqi, wanting to avoid a disaster.


    It was just a pity that in the end, it caused a heavy loss. Yet, Jian Hongxiao was still unable to salvage Fegnqi��s life.


    Jian Sutao suddenly looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Junior, you came here for the Six Veins Stellar Pill��s pill formula?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Yes, Senior please grant the pill formula for a look.��


    ��The Six Veins Stellar Pill��s pill formula, I can��t give you!�� Jian Sutao shook his head and said.

 Chapter 1961 - Ancient God Battlefield

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Why?�� Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard it and said in puzzlement.


    He could tell that the relationship between Jian Sutao and Jian Hongxiao was not ordinary.


    Logically speaking, Jian Sutao should hope for Jian Hongxiao��s recovery.


    But Jian Sutao directly refused him. This made him very perplexed.


    Jian Sutao said coolly, ��The pill formula of the Six Veins Stellar Pill is unique to my Jian Family, how can it be easily shown to people?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��But this medicinal pill, other people don��t have much benefits consuming it too. It��s only useful to the Jian Family��s members, isn��t it? Even if I look at the pill formula, I��m also using it to save the Jian Family��s people. There doesn��t seem to be anything wrong with it, right?��


    Jian Sutao��s gaze turned intent; a wave of anger was released from his body. Ye Yuan immediately felt a tremendous pressure.


    Jian Hongxiao was alarmed in his heart and hurriedly said, ��Your Excellency, calm your anger. Ye Yuan he �� is also doing this for the sake of saving me.��


    ��Humph! To actually dare rebut this Empyrean, what gall!�� Jian Sutao said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan did not give way in the slightest and said, ��This junior is just stating a fact! This pill formula being placed in Senior��s hands, no one can refine it at all. It can only make the Jian Family��s people bemoan in the face of it. But put it in my hands, it can save many Jian Family��s people. What��s there to be against it?��


    When Jian Sutao heard that, his fury was even more apparent as he said in a cold voice, ��Heh, truly a wildly conceited junior! How can my Jian Family��s rules be gesticulated by you, a junior? Moreover, you want to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill just based on that you just entered rank six? You��re looking down on this medicinal pill too much!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said coolly, ��Give me five years, and I��ll definitely be able to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill!��


    Jian Sutao smiled coldly and said, ��A toad yawning; what high-sounding sentiments! You think that refining rank six divine pills is as easy as eating and drinking? Or is it that you think that you possess emperor surmounting aura and is invincible under the heavens? If this Empyrean kills you right now, even if you have the potential to cultivate to the realm of Dao Ancestor, it��s also to no avail!��


    Finished talking, Jian Sutao��s aura really became cold. Clearly, he was genuinely enraged and wanted to kill people!


    An aura that made Ye Yuan suffocated came in an overwhelming manner.


    Ye Yuan felt as if the entire starry sky was collapsing, the whole process incomparably horrifying from start to end.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan was still at the Divine Vestige Realm, he had once faced before the Empyrean Realm Lin Changqing. At that time, he already felt extremely powerless.


    But that kind of feeling put at now, simply paled in comparison with it.


    This empyrean in front of him was not what Lin Changqing that sort of rookie could compare to.


    However, no matter how strong Jian Sutao was, Ye Yuan��s brows did not move a bit. His face did not have the slightest change in countenance.


    Ye Yuan this person was this stubborn.


    Cold sweat poured profusely on Jian Hongxiao��s forehead. He also did not expect that things would develop to this step.


    ��Lord Sutao, please calm your anger! If you want to kill Ye Yuan, then kill me first.��


    Jian Sutao said in a cold voice, ��Humph! Do you think that this Empyrean won��t kill you on the account of Fengqi��s face, is it?��


    Jian Hongxiao��s face changed and he shook his head and said, ��Dare not! But Ye Yuan only came here in order to save me! I can��t passively watch him die!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said to Jian Hongxiao, ��Heh, if not going to give this pill formula, don��t give it then; so what? Other people can create this medicinal pill; so I, Ye Yuan, can similarly create it. It just takes some effort! Senior, let��s go!��


    Ye Yuan even created the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, this kind of heaven-defying medicinal pill. He did not believe that he could not create the Six Veins Stellar Pill.


    It was just that Ye Yuan currently just broke through to the Origin Pill Realm. He still remained at the deduction and familiarization stage of rank six divine pills.


    Otherwise, he also would not say that he needed five years to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill.


    Blackmailing Ye Yuan with medicinal pills, this sort of thing, not many people could do it.


    Jian Sutao also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually say such words, and could not help being taken aback.


    Although his Dao of Divination was exceedingly formidable, he could not calculate Ye Yuan��s situation. He naturally did not understand Ye Yuan either.


    Hence, he did not know how formidable Ye Yuan��s strength in alchemy was.


    It was just that this kind of big talk was a little too big, right?


    One had to know, this medicinal pill was jointly developed by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and Medicine Ancestor. There was actually someone in this world who dared to say that they could create the Six Veins Stellar Pill independently?


    But Ye Yuan said these words in all solemnity, but it also seemed so credible.


    Jian Sutao was dazed.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan was really leaving and did not seem to have the intention of staying.


    Jian Sutao��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��It��s also not that I can��t give you the pill formula, but �� you have to promise this empyrean a condition!��


    Ye Yuan��s figure paused and he involuntarily turned his head back, sizing Jian Sutao up with a smile that was not a smile.


    Suddenly he realized that turns out Jian Sutao was waiting for this moment?


    Ye Yuan was also very perplexed. He wanted to save Jian Hongxiao. This was originally a good thing. Why would Jian Sutao still decline with all sorts of excuses?


    He did not expect that this fellow was actually having ideas about him.


    ��Senior, to the Jian Family��s people, I��m just an outsider. You used a Jian Family��s person��s life to threaten an outsider; isn��t doing this somewhat immoral?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Jian Sutao was shrewd with age, his face being thick as a city wall. He did not feel embarrassed either. He just said coolly, ��You will agree.��


    Ye Yuan countered with a question: ��Based on what?��


    Jian Sutao said, ��Just based on this Empyrean��s divination art.��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he said helplessly, ��Alright, you win. Say it; what��s the condition?��


    Ye Yuan understood that Jian Sutao could not divine him, but he could divine Jian Hongxiao.


    Hence, he knew that Jian Hongxiao would recover very soon.


    And this was confirmed precisely by him.


    Ye Yuan was helpless. This feeling of being kneaded by people, he did not like it.


    But he owed Jian Hongxiao.


    For Jian Hongxiao��s sake, he would indeed agree.


    After all, developing a new medicinal pill, this kind of thing, took too much effort.


    Furthermore, this medicinal pill even mustered the painstaking effort of two mighty Transcendent Heavenly Emperors. How arduous would it be to develop it?


    The difficulty level was probably not much lower than the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.


    Furthermore, this was a rank six divine pill, the development difficulty would be much greater.


    Therefore, even though he clearly knew that Jian Sutao��s way of doing things was very shameless, Ye Yuan could only accept it.


    ��You help me to enter the Ancient God Battlefield and retrieve an item!�� Jian Sutao said.


    Jian Hongxiao��s face changed and he said, ��Your Excellency, could it be to retrieve that item?��


    Jian Sutao nodded his head slightly, equivalent to tacitly acknowledging it.


    ��No way! I��d rather not recover! I can��t let Ye Yuan take this risk!�� Jian Hongxiao said firmly.


    Jian Sutao said coolly, ��Who I��m asking isn��t you, it��s him! Furthermore, he��ll definitely agree.��


    Jian Hongxiao��s face changed and he said to Ye Yuan, ��Ye Yuan, you can��t enter the Ancient God Battlefield! That place is too dangerous; you��ll lose your life!��


    But Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said, ��Okay, I agree! Now, can you hand the pill formula to me?��


    Jian Sutao looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, ��You��re not asking what item this Empyrean wants you to retrieve? And also you��re not asking what kind of place the Ancient God Battlefield is?��

 Chapter 1962 - Emperor Bone

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Since I must agree, what��s the difference between asking or not? It��s just that, Senior threatening me with a Jian Family��s member made this Ye broaden his horizons,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The meaning of his words was: Your esteemed self��s shamelessness, this Ye Yuan has seldom seen it in all my life.


    No matter how good Ye Yuan��s relationship with Jian Hongxiao was, Jian Hongxiao was a Jian Family��s member in the end.


    As the Jian Family��s senior, Jian Sutao actually used a Jian Family��s member to threaten an outsider. This kind of action was truly utterly contemptible.


    Jian Sutao did not seem to be embarrassed. He just said coolly, ��You have the right to choose.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said calmly, ��Why me?��


    Jian Sutao said, ��It��s naturally because you��re a child of destiny. Such a monstrous destiny like yours, it��s still this empyrean��s first time seeing.��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly, quietly waiting for him to continue.


    ��The Ancient God Battlefield is a mystic realm that my Jian Family controls. Legend says that very, very long ago, an earth-shaking ancient god war happened before in the Ancient God Battlefield. The strength of those ancient gods, the weakest was at least at the Celestial Deity Realm. In that unparalleled great battle, there were countless True Gods, even Empyrean powerhouses, that perished in it. There were even many Heavenly Emperor level powerhouses.��


    Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart. He did not think that this Ancient God Battlefield actually even had Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in it.


    What kind of heaven-shocking degree did that kind of war reach?


    Although the present Heavenspan World still had endless disputes, it was still relatively calm on the whole, with all kinds of levels very strict.


    It was very hard for such a terrifying battle to happen.


    ��Inside the Ancient God Battlefield, there are countless soul treasures. Every ten thousand years, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets will personally open up this Ancient God Battlefield and send a batch of destiny children inside. Those lucky ones can obtain heaven-defying lucky chances, breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. They will be soaring to the sky with one leap. Of course, the Ancient God Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Ancient battle souls, ancient grand arrays, crisscross inside. Also, there are variant species bred during these countless years. It could be said to be beset with danger. Even emperor surmounting auras, those that perish inside each time were also not in the minority,�� Jian Sutao explained.


    ��In that case, those entering the Ancient God Battlefield from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, it will not just be me alone?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Jian Sutao nodded and said, ��For ten thousand years, this empyrean naturally sought out a batch of destiny children. Whether they are entering inside or not, it is also up to their own decision. But this kind of opportunity is hard to come across in a thousand years. So very few people will refuse.��


    Of course, no one would refuse.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that those people able to be chosen at least had imperial aura too.


    People with this degree of destiny, if they did not even dare to challenge a mystic realm, that was also too cowardly.


    Moreover, although this Ancient God Battlefield was perilous, massive lucky chances also went along with it.


    Once they obtained some ancient relics, their destinies would be more exuberant, and their future prospects would also have more room.


    Perhaps some imperial auras could even break through to the emperor surmounting aura after entering the Ancient God Battlefield.


    These children of destiny were the candidates for future Empyreans and Heavenly Emperors.


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan was indeed quite moved.


    ��What do you want me to help you retrieve?��


    Jian Sutao said, ��Emperor beast divine bone!��


    Emperor beast, as the name suggested, was a Heavenly Emperor level divine beast!


    This level of a divine beast, each one was a supreme existence of heaven and earth, their strength being fearsome to the extreme.


    Even if they had died for many years, the energy contained inside the divine bones was also extremely terrifying.


    But Ye Yuan was very clear about it. The place where the emperor beast divine bone was at must be extremely dangerous, far surpassing the limits of his current abilities.


    Otherwise, Jian Hongxiao also would not be worried for him.


    It was also no wonder that even Jian Sutao, this level of Empyrean powerhouse, would also be moved by it.


    ��More than 100 thousand years ago, that batch of destiny child entered the Ancient God Battlefield and accidentally discovered a Qilin emperor bone. It��s just too bad that no one could obtain it. Over the past 100 thousand years, this Empyrean had sent people inside each time, wanting to obtain this emperor bone. But sadly, it was all for naught,�� Jian Sutao said.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said with a cold smile, ��I��m afraid that for the sake of this Qilin emperor bone, quite a few children of destiny all died inside, right?��


    Children of destiny had exuberant destinies?


    No matter how thriving it was, it was also merely just a reservist force.


    While that Qilin divine beast was a genuine Heavenly Emperor powerhouse when it was alive!


    Even if it died, how could its dignity be what a junior can blaspheme?


    Jian Sutao did not have the intention of concealing, saying with a nod, ��The children of destiny who went to retrieve this emperor bone, none of them came back. However ����


    Ye Yuan stopped the other party with a hand gesture and said in a cold voice, ��You want to say that you feel very optimistic about me, feeling that I can succeed? Heh, are you treating this Ye to be a three-year-old kid? You rest assured, I��ll take on this task. But whether it succeeds or not, that will depend on your fortune!��


    Jian Sutao��s good fortune was naturally obtaining the Qilin emperor bone.


    As for Ye Yuan��s fortunes �� it was returning alive.


    Jian Sutao originally thought that at Ye Yuan��s age, he should be very easy to control.


    But he discovered that he was wrong, this kid was shrewd and cunning, not acting in accordance with the scheme that he planned.


    ��


    Time flew by quickly. Five years passed in a blink of an eye.


    But inside the World Suppressing Stele, 50 years had already passed for Ye Yuan.


    On this day, the Stellar Hall��s powerhouses gathered together.


    Up to the elders, down to the disciples, no one was absent.


    ��Elder Zhonghui, do you know what City Lord called us here for this time?�� Jian Hao asked an elder.


    Jian Zhonghui shook his head and said, ��How can City Lord��s thoughts be what the likes of us can guess? But the line-up this time is indeed a little big and a little too grand. Could it be that some important figure is coming to our Extreme Luck?��


    Ever since Jian Hongxiao returned to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, Jian Hao had always been feeling ill at ease.


    Especially recently, this kind of feeling became even stronger.


    But he performed a divination for himself but failed to divine anything.


    Starting from this morning, Jian Hao had been having the jitters all along, the ominous feeling becoming more and more apparent.


    Right at this time, City Lord suddenly summoned all of the Stellar Hall��s disciples. This made Jian Hao��s mood become heavier.


    At this time, an awe-inspiring voice echoed out inside the hall, ��Suyan, is everyone here?��


    Jian Suyan gave a bow and said, ��Reporting to City Lord, there��s still one person who isn��t here.��


    Jian Sutao fell silent for a moment and opened his mouth and said, ��He should be on his way. Let��s start then. Calling you all here today, there��s something to announce. Starting from today, the Stellar Hall will add a new elder. So Jian Hao �� I��ll have to inconvenience you and have you retire to the protector��s seat for the time being.��


    Jian Sutao��s voice reverberated inside the hall. But every word that he said was like a clap of thunder, exploding in Jian Hao��s ears.


    His seat of elder was �� was gone just like that?


    Jian Hao��s expression became extremely ugly. He did not dare to fly off the handle and could only bow. He then said, ��City Lord, inside this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, apart from a few Stellar Hall elders, there shouldn��t be anyone whose strength can compete with mine in the Dao of Divination, right?��


    ��Originally, there wasn��t. But today �� there is,�� Jian Sutao said slowly.


    Right at this time, a figure entered the Stellar Hall.


    When Jian Hao saw the arrival, he was immediately petrified.

 Chapter 1963 - : It’s Been Hard on You These Few Years

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��J-Jian Hongxiao! This �� How is this possible?��


    The current Jian Hongxiao had an imposing aura. He already reached peak True God Realm just like that, and he was even stronger than before he suffered Heavenly Dao backlash back then.


    However, Jian Hao knew that for Jian Hongxiao to want to recover his strength, the Six Vein Stellar Pill was a must.


    But in this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, where to find the Six Vein Stellar Pill?


    If one could find it, Jian Hongxiao also would not possibly have holed up in Extreme Light Imperial City for 100 thousand years.


    The question was that what was going on right now in front of him?


    Inside this Stellar Hall, quite a few people knew Jian Hongxiao.


    Each and every one of them was dumbfounded, not quite daring to believe their eyes.


    Was this peak True God Realm powerhouse before their eyes was really Jian Hongxiao?


    Back then, after that incident happened, everyone thought that Jian Hongxiao was finished.


    Who could have thought that 100 thousand years later, Jian Hongxiao returned to the peak anew and returned to the Stellar Hall once again, becoming a Stellar Hall elder?


    ��Hang on! Even if there��s really the Six Vein Stellar Pill, he also can��t possibly return to his peak state! Unless the Six Vein Stellar Pill can reach divine-grade!�� Jian Hao suddenly recalled something and said in surprise.


    When everyone heard that, they were even more surprised.


    ��The Six Vein Stellar Pill is a level nine medicinal pill. It is even high-grade, which is very hard to come across. Divine-grade �� how is this possible?��


    ��Could it be that he really obtained a divine-grade Six Vein Stellar Pill?��


    ��Didn��t expect, really didn��t expect that Elder Hongxiao could actually return to Stellar Hall one day!��


    ��


    It had been 100 thousand years. Jian Hongxiao had always been staying in a tiny little imperial city.


    Suddenly recovering to his peak this time, then there was only one explanation. He obtained the Six Vein Stellar Pill.


    But this sort of thing happening was really too miraculous.


    However, they did not know that Jian Sutao, who was beside the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere, the astonishment on his face was even thicker than theirs.


    Just yesterday, he used the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere to divine things. He found that the Stellar Hall��s elders�� line-up was about to change.


    And the person who would join them, it would be Jian Hongxiao.


    Putting that aside, he naturally knew how Jian Hongxiao recovered.


    Five years!


    It really was only a short five-year period for Ye Yuan to refine the Six Vein Stellar Pill!


    This �� Was this Medicine Ancestor possessing the body?


    A Six-star Alchemy God! Furthermore, it was just a First Firmament True God Six-star Alchemy God. He only used five years and refined the Six Vein Stellar Pill?


    Furthermore, looking at Jian Hongxiao��s current condition, he actually seemed to have touched that layer of bottleneck.


    If it was really the case, Jian Hongxiao might break through to the Empyrean Realm at any time!


    Empyrean Realm!


    How many True God powerhouses sought after it all their lives but were unable to break through to this realm?


    But Jian Hongxiao actually had a blessing come to him in the disguise of misfortune, touching this boundary.


    Being able to do it and reaching this step, the medicinal pill that Jian Hongxiao consumed was absolutely not an ordinary Six Vein Stellar Pill.


    Just what kind of existence was that kid?


    Only all the way until today did Jian Sutao seemingly realize that he underestimated Ye Yuan.


    Underestimated him too much!


    This boy was absolutely not an ordinary emperor surmounting aura. No wonder even he did not dare to cast the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan too.


    Returning to the Stellar Hall anew, Jian Hongxiao was also filled with vicissitudes of emotion.


    When he failed in casting the heaven-defying and fate changing art, he thought that his whole life would be like this.


    Hence, he holed up in a tiny little imperial city with his mind at ease.


    All the way until one day, he divined that his fate had a change.


    But the future was still so confusing and whirling, because he could not calculate why at all.


    Later, Ye Yuan appeared in front of him! Everything changed!


    Today, he could finally stand here again.


    ��Sinner Hongxiao returns!�� Jian Hongxiao bowed down toward the depths of the great hall, his mind being agitated.


    It was silent inside. Only after a long time did a voice slowly say, ��Good that you��re back. Retake your seat.��


    ��Yes!��


    Jian Hongxiao answered and walked toward the elders�� side.


    Jian Hao was standing here, unable to leave nor stay, being extremely awkward.


    ��Younger Brother Jian Hao, it��s been hard on you these few years,�� Jian Hongxiao looked at Jian Hao and said smilingly.


    The corners of Jian Hao��s mouth twitched fiercely. His expression was ugly to the extreme. He wished to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.


    He worked hard for 100 thousand years. In the end, he actually still could not beat Jian Hongxiao.


    These 100 thousand years, he was just a temporary replacement.


    Now that the real master was back, he was kicked aside with one foot.


    He was not able to accept it.


    But he had no choice.


    In Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, Jian Sutao��s words were the imperial edict. No one dared to defy him.


    In Jian Hao��s view, so what if Jian Hongxiao recovered his strength?


    He had once committed an unpardonable crime. Could it be that he could be forgiven after 100 thousand years had passed?


    Who would those Stellar Hall disciples who died find to talk reason with?


    But Jian Sutao did not seem to have the intention of explaining.


    Just like that, this matter was decided.


    He, Jian Hao, was back to being his protector.


    Truly a joke!


    ��Congratulations to Elder Hongxiao��s return!�� Jian Hao gritted his teeth and still moved out of the position in the end.


    All of the Stellar Hall disciples looked at this scene, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    It was too awkward for everyone.


    ��


    ��I never dreamed that I actually still had a chance to step into the Stellar Hall in this lifetime! Ye Yuan, you showed this old man the grace of rebirth!�� Jian Hongxiao looked at Ye Yuan and said with a multitude of feelings.


    He deduced his own fate and just faintly felt that change would depend on Ye Yuan. But he did not think that he could return to the Stellar Hall anew for real.


    Furthermore, it was extremely quick!


    The Six Vein Stellar Pill, he knew that Ye Yuan should be able to refine it. It was just that he did not think that Ye Yuan directly gave him a vast spirit divine pill!


    When he saw the medicinal pill, his entire person was dazed.


    After eating the medicinal pill, his divine soul was practically about to float out.


    It was just that at that time not only did his strength improve further, he actually even had a deeper level of comprehension towards the Profound Spirit Chaos Formula, touching the threshold of Empyrean Realm!


    Everyone said give a plum in return for a peach. But now, the repayment that Ye Yuan gave him simply made him unable to bear it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Hongxiao is doing it again, aren��t you? Is there still a need to be so courteous between you and me?��


    ��Haha, this old man �� this old man can��t help himself! Oh, right, the Ancient God Battlefield still has a dozen over years before it��s opening. Those children of destiny will be gathering in Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital very soon. Although your destiny is strong, inside this Ancient God Battlefield, destiny is completely useless. I heard that even Dao Ancestor powerhouses had perished there before,�� Jian Hongxiao said.


    Ye Yuan��s face changed and he said in surprise, ��Dao Ancestor powerhouse? Aren��t they eternal and immortal?��


    Jian Hongxiao shook his head and said, ��As for the specifics, I don��t know either. How can that level of existence be what people like us can try to figure out? I only coincidentally heard Fengqi mentioned it once before very long ago.��


    Presently, Ye Yuan had long learned that this ��Fengqi�� was Jian Sutao��s daughter, while Jian Hongxiao was Jian Sutao��s son-in-law!


    Back then, Jian Fengqi had a great tribulation in her life. Since then, she became confined to her bed and never left it again.


    Jian Hongxiao loved Jian Fengqi deeply. Hence, disregarding his biological brother��s obstruction, he cast the heaven-defying fate changing art.


    Who could have thought that apart from it falling short of success at the last stage, it even affected the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere, sucking the 36 disciples on duty and his biological younger brother all into human jerky.


    This matter had always been the pain in Jian Hongxiao��s heart. So he was never willing to bring it up to people.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, monstrous waves stirred in his heart.

 Chapter 1964 - You’re Playing With Me?

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Based on the worldview that Dustless instilled in Ye Yuan, Dao Ancestors were eternal and undying existences. They were the apex existences of this world.


    They controlled the laws in an area, representing Heavenly Dao.


    Who could kill them?


    But now, someone said that Dao Ancestors could die too.


    This caused a tremendous impact on Ye Yuan��s worldview.


    Jian Fengqi was Jian Sutao��s daughter. These words definitely came from him.


    With Jian Sutao��s position in the Jian Family, could these words merely be a groundless rumor?


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Jian Hongxiao said with a smile, ��Huhu, back then when I heard this, my expression was exactly the same as yours. But thinking about it now, I��m afraid that Lord Sutao also heard about it as a rumor,��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��This Ancient God Battlefield �� is rather interesting.��


    The two people were currently chatting away idly when someone from outside reported that Jian Hao brought Jian Yun to request an audience.


    Ye Yuan and Jian Hongxiao exchanged a glance and smiled. Jian Hongxiao said smilingly, ��Looks like Jian Hao is here to ask for a pill. Should we meet him or not?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That will have to depend on his sincerity. I��ll leave it to you. I��ll avoid him for a bit first.��


    ��


    The weary-looking Jian Hao brought the blind Jian Yun and entered the hall.


    Seeing Jian Hongxiao, Jian Hao hesitated for a moment, but he still gave a bow toward Jian Hongxiao. He said, ��I pay respects to Elder Jian Hongxiao.��


    Jian Hongxiao was currently sitting solemnly as a show of respect and did not give a response.


    These two people contended with each other overtly and covertly for as long as several tens of thousands of years. Back then, when Jian Hongxiao fell into distress, the one who trampled the hardest was also Jian Hao.


    Now, making him treat Jian Hao with a calm state of mind, it was clearly not that easy.


    Jian Hao had an awkward look, unable to leave nor stay.


    He had no choice but to put aside his own pride to come and find Jian Hongxiao for the sake of his son today.


    Since Jian Hongxiao obtained the Six Vein Stellar Pill, that meant that there was someone who could refine this medicinal pill.


    His son��s eyes could only be saved by the Six Vein Stellar Pill.


    Jian Hongxiao drank his tea as if these two people were air.


    Back then, he suffered Heavenly Dao backlash and was heavily injured, being on the verge of dying. Even though he consumed medicinal pills, he also laid on the bed for several decades, barely managing to preserve his life.


    At that time, Jian Hao took his place and assumed the position of elder. In fact, he had once advocated for sentencing Jian Hongxiao to death.


    Banishing to Extreme Light Imperial City this matter was also completed under Jian Hao��s urging.


    Now, this bit of reciprocal was naturally considered nothing.


    Jian Hao gritted his teeth and knelt down with a thud, clenching his teeth, and he said, ��Elder Hongxiao, Jian Hao knows that I was unfair to you, but I only have this one son. I don��t want him to become a cripple. I beg you to help!��


    Although the Jian Yun by the side was blind, he also knew that his father knelt down. His expression changed greatly as he said, ��Dad, how �� how can you kneel down toward him?��


    ��Shut up! You kneel down for me too and offer an apology to Elder Hongxiao!�� Jian Hongxiao said fiercely.


    Jian Yun��s face flickered incessantly. Making him kneel down toward Jian Hongxiao was simply unprecedented humiliation.


    He hated Jian Hongxiao, hated him for saying that he would not amount to much.


    Bang!


    Jian Hao flicked a finger; Jian Yun knelt down involuntarily.


    In his ears, came Jian Hao��s scolding, ��Unfilial son, Elder Hongxiao is the only person who can save you right now! Unless you want to be a cripple for life!��


    Jian Yun was startled and no longer struggled.


    He did not wish to become a cripple for life.


    Looking at this father and son pair, Jian Hongxiao slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Alright, Jian Hao, your apology, I accept it. But �� Jian Yun��s eyes, I can��t help you.��


    Jian Hao nodded his head and said, ��I understand Elder Hongxiao��s meaning. Jian Hao isn��t asking for other things. I only beg you to speak in recommendation of me, and let me meet this expert.��


    He did not think that Jian Hongxiao could help him with anything to begin with. Disregarding the relationship between the two of them, how could an expert who could refine such a high quality Six Vein Stellar Pill be possibly influenced by Jian Hongxiao?


    The expert behind Jian Hongxiao was at least a Seven-star Alchemy God!


    Furthermore, this kind of Seven-star Alchemy God, his status absolutely would not be inferior to City Lord.


    It was just that Jian Hao was very confused. Why would such an important person be willing to refine pills for Jian Hongxiao?


    Jian Hongxiao said, ��Alright, I��ll go and help you ask for his opinion.��


    Finished saying, Jian Hongxiao turned around and left. Before long, he came back and said, ��The master agreed to see you guys. Follow me.��


    When the father and son two people heard it, they were wildly elated in their hearts.


    What they were most afraid of was that he would not meet.


    As long as he was willing to meet, everything could be discussed.


    Jian Hongxiao was presently a Stellar Hall��s elder. The mansion conferred onto him naturally would not be small.


    With a few turns, the few people arrived in a courtyard.


    Jian Hao faced inside and gave a deep bow, opened his mouth, and said, ��Junior Stellar Hall��s protector, Jian Hao, pays respect to Senior. I beg Senior to bestow my son a Six Vein Stellar Pill.��


    When Jian Hongxiao heard that, a hint of a smile flashed across his face.


    This old fogey actually took Ye Yuan to be a senior.


    But it made sense. Under the circumstances where one was ignorant, probably anyone would also think that the one who refined the pill for him was an Empyrean Realm big shot, right?


    A ridiculously young figure slowly walked out, Jian Hao��s expression instantly became extremely ugly.


    ��Jian Hongxiao, you �� you��re playing with me?�� Jian Hao looked toward Jian Hongxiao and said in a great rage.


    Jian Hao knew that this young man was the main culprit who caused his son to end up like this.


    Now that he showed up here, wasn��t this intentionally embarrassing him and making fun of him?


    Who he wanted to meet was the master, not this brat!


    ��Dad, what��s wrong?�� Jian Yun could not see and asked doubtfully.


    Jian Hao said furiously, ��He��s making fun of us father and son. This isn��t some master at all, but that punk who caused you to become like this!��


    ��What?!�� Jian Yun was enraged the moment he heard it.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said indifferently, ��He��s the master that he wanted to see.��


    Jian Hao did not believe it at all. Waving his hand, he said coldly, ��Speaking nonsense! Do you take me for a fool? At this age, forget about being a Six-star Alchemy God! Being able to learn the basics of alchemy is already pretty good! Even if he��s a Six-star Alchemy God, the Six Vein Stellar Pill is also not what the likes of his age can refine!��


    But Jian Hongxiao shook his head and said, ��I don��t have the time to crack this kind of jokes with you. My Six Vein Stellar Pill was refined by Ye Yuan. I brought him to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital in order to find City Lord to ask for the Six Vein Stellar Pill��s pill formula. Otherwise, who else do you think can refine the Six Vein Stellar Pill in this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital?��


    The series of words made Jian Hao calm down.


    Jian Hongxiao��s sudden return was very fishy to begin with.


    In these 100 thousand over years, he had not returned once before.


    Thinking of how Jian Yun went blind with one look again, could it be that this Ye Yuan really had an extremely exuberant destiny?


    Linking these events up, it was really very likely!


    But, this brat looked to be only a thousand over years old no matter how one looked at him. How could he refine the Six Vein Stellar Pill?


    This kind of thing was simply too ludicrous.


    Jian Hao looked at Ye Yuan with an awkward look.


    ��M-Master, don��t blame me. It��s truly �� truly �� rather hard to believe,�� Jian Hao said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No worries. Even though Jian Yun was a little domineering, his crime isn��t to this extent. Since Elder Hongxiao isn��t pressing the case with you guys, I��m indifferent. I can help you guys refine the medicinal pill, but the spirit medicines need you to prepare yourself.��


    Jian Hao was overjoyed when he heard it and hurriedly said, ��Thank you, Master!��

 Chapter 1965 - Liu Yi

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    The eyes of Jian Hao��s family��s son were cured!


    This matter spread throughout Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital very quickly like a gust of wind.


    Those major family clans all went into action without delay, all wanting to inquire about who treated Jian Yun��s eyes.


    At Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, there was actually someone capable of refining the Six Vein Stellar Pill!


    To the Jian Family��s members, this Six Vein Stellar Pill was simply a second life.


    Among the Jian Family members in this city, how many people had suffered Heavenly Dao backlash before?


    Even some powerful people more or less suffered before some hidden injuries too, being unable to eliminate it once and for all up till today.


    But Jian Hao��s family kept a tight lid on their mouths. No one knew how on earth this master was.


    Right at this time, a piece of news spread like wildfire.


    It turned out that the one who refined this Six Vein Stellar Pill was none other than actually that young man who came to the great imperial capital together with Elder Jian Hongxiao!


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.


    The Jian family members in the city were all incomparably amazed. Their first reaction was that they did not believe it.


    A ridiculously young youth who just entered True God Realm, how could he possibly be the master who refined the Six Vein Stellar Pill?


    But thinking carefully, this credibility was really very high!


    Hence, there began to have people who harbored the mentality to give it a try and went to Jian Hongxiao��s elder manor.


    In the end, each one returned fully loaded!


    Those Jian Family members with chronic ailments actually all recovered under Ye Yuan��s miracle hands!


    With this, it thoroughly blew up.


    The people who came to the elder��s manor every day were practically trampling the doorway flat.


    For some time, Jian Hongxiao became the most in-demand elder in this city.


    Even Master Bu Chen also personally paid a visit to call on Master Ye��s counsel.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan cultivated as he treated the Jian Family members�� Heavenly Dao backlash. More than ten years�� time passed.


    On this day, Jian Hongxiao went to find Ye Yuan.


    Upon seeing Jian Hongxiao, Ye Yuan��s eyes could not help lighting up as he said with a smile, ��Congratulations to Brother Hongxiao. It seems like Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital will be adding another Empyrean powerhouse not long after.��


    The current Jian Hongxiao had a full forehead1. The aura of Dao on his body was becoming thicker and thicker. This was clearly the sign of breaking through soon.


    From a True God to an Empyrean, how many heroes had this step stumped?


    Just take this Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital for example. Just the Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses that Ye Yuan knew about were 20 to 30 people.


    Those below Ninth Firmament True God were even more.


    But so many True God powerhouses, those able to break through to the Empyrean Realm were only Jian Sutao and Jian Suyan two people.


    This was also because the Jian Family��s cultivation method was powerful. If it were other places, this chance would be even lower.


    Hence, for Jian Hongxiao to be able to take this step, no idea how many True God powerhouses were incredibly envious of him.


    Jian Hongxiao was all smiles as he said, ��Heh, without you, this old man also couldn��t possibly have taken this step in this lifetime. Empyrean �� Even people who possess imperial aura also don��t dare to say that they can definitely break through to the Empyrean Realm. For this old man to be able to have this today, it��s being tainted by your immortal qi!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Hongxiao��s talent is extremely good in the first place. Back then, if not for suffering Heavenly Dao backlash, with the accumulation of these 100 thousand years, you��d probably have walked to this step as well.��


    Jian Hongxiao shook his head and said, ��There are no ifs in this world. Everything has its destiny. That tribulation back then was Fengqi��s tribulation. Similarly, this was my tribulation. If not for encountering you, it��s impossible for my destiny to change.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Finding me for something?��


    ��Lord Sutao made me come find you. He told me to have you go to Virtuous Wind Establishment. The Ancient God Battlefield is about to open. The other children of destiny have already arrived in succession,�� Jian Hongxiao said.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��Brother Hongxiao��s father-in-law��s people manipulating art is truly impressive. Disregarding using you to blackmail me into entering the Ancient God Battlefield, he even deliberately let out the news, making me treat the Jian Family��s people. Tsk tsk, truly exhausting every power of his mind.��


    Jian Hongxiao blushed with shame. He knew that he caused trouble for Ye Yuan.


    If not for him, Ye Yuan would not have provoked so much trouble, and even had to put his life on the line to enter the Ancient God Battlefield.


    ��


    Inside the Virtuous Wind Establishment, all the people of fame arrived.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the hall, he immediately attracted a series of sidelong glances.


    A young man sitting on the left-hand side sized him up for a while and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��I was wondering who had such airs, to actually be the last one to come. It turns out that it��s just a rookie who just entered True God Realm.��


    ��Hahaha!��


    Everyone guffawed with laughter.


    Ye Yuan discovered that ever since he broke through to the Origin Pill Realm, his cultivation speed suddenly slowed down a lot.


    It was not that his talent could not keep up anymore, but it was due to the spiritual energy required being too horrifying.


    In these ten years, Ye Yuan swallowed quite a number of medicinal pills but did not break through much in terms of cultivation realm. He was still at the initial-stage First Firmament Origin Pill Realm.


    Of course, this was just relatively speaking of him. When ordinary people cultivated for ten years, they would probably also just barely consolidate their realm.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with them. He found a corner and sat down.


    Sweeping a glance, Ye Yuan discovered that there were a total of nine people in this hall including him.


    That young man sitting on the left-hand seat was the strongest. He actually already reached the initial-stage Third Firmament True God Realm.


    The others were all just at the Second Firmament True God Realm and late-stage First Firmament True God Realm.


    While he was the weakest among these people, being only at the middle-stage First Firmament Origin Pill.


    Reaching True God Realm, even if it was just the difference between initial-stage First Firmament True God and middle-stage First Firmament True God, the strength difference was huge.


    Hence, that young man��s nose was almost pointing to the sky already.


    It was only to see him slowly standing up, and then he said to everyone, ��This humble self is Song Yu, from the Shiyuan Great Imperial Capital. Elder Suyan personally used the aura viewing art on me before; I��m at the peak imperial aura. Entering the Ancient God Battlefield this time, as long as I obtain a huge lucky chance, I believe that stepping into emperor surmounting aura shouldn��t be anything difficult.��


    When everyone heard that, each and every one of them was slightly surprised in their hearts.


    Jian Suyan was the Stellar Hall��s head elder, being the only Empyrean Realm powerhouse.


    With him personally using the aura viewing art, this was a great glory.


    Seeing the changes on everyone��s faces, Song Yu had a smug look. He said smilingly, ��We��re all from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. Entering the Ancient God Battlefield, we should naturally support one another. Why don��t everybody do a self-introduction first, talk about your destiny.��


    The moment Song Yu came up, he suppressed everyone. At this time, no one objected.


    On his right side, a young man opened his mouth and said, ��I��m called Guo Jingyang, from Redleaf Great Imperial Capital, late-stage imperial aura.��


    ��I��m called Ma Chang, from Windaid Great Imperial Capital, late-stage imperial aura.��


    ��


    Very soon, it was the turn of a wretched-looking old man next to Ye Yuan.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered, he quietly sized him up. The rest were all youngsters, only this guy was very old, likely several tens of thousands of years old already.


    It was very hard to imagine that such a person could actually be chosen to enter the Ancient God Battlefield.


    But since he was able to enter the Virtuous Wind Establishment, he would also be imperial aura at the lousiest.


    The wretched-looking old man chuckled, stood up, and said, ��This old man is Liu Yi, an itinerant cultivator. I only barely managed to break through to the initial-stage imperial aura due to luck. Although this old man is old, I can��t compare to all of you young talents. When the time comes, please take good care of me.��


    Liu Yi��s attitude was exhibited very humbly and did not take advantage of his seniority because of his age, looking very obediently.


    But Ye Yuan instinctively felt that this old man was not simple.

 Chapter 1966 - They Don’t Even Dare to Look

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heh heh, you could actually break through to imperial aura at this age. I��m afraid �� you stepped on dog shit when you stepped out of the house, right?��


    As Song Yu said, he burst out laughing.


    When the others heard it, they also laughed along.


    Toward Liu Yi, they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.


    Firstly, it was because his appearance was wretched. Secondly, it was because he was already advanced in age.


    At this age, even if one had an imperial aura, it was likely very hard to break through to the Empyrean Realm too.


    Liu Yi himself also started to laugh. He concurred and said, ��How did Sir Song know? Heh heh, 3000 years ago, this old man really stepped into a pile of dog shit when I went out of the house. In the end, not long after, I obtained some lucky chances inside a mystic realm. That��s how I broke through to imperial aura.��


    With him saying so, everyone was even more amused.


    Song Yu laughed until he could not close his mouth as he said with amusement, ��Huhu, you have self-awareness. After going in, follow me. I��ll ensure your safety.��


    Liu Yi chuckled and said, ��Then I��ll have to thank Sir Song very much.��


    Finished saying, Liu Yi sat down, but his eyes unwittingly flitted toward Ye Yuan.


    Just now, everyone was jeering at him; only Ye Yuan did not.


    Now, it was Ye Yuan��s turn. But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of opening his mouth.


    Song Yu looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Hey, snotty brat, it��s your turn.��


    Ever since breaking through to the perfect sixth transformation golden body, Ye Yuan��s looks became much younger all at once, as if returning to his youth era.


    In other people��s view, he was just like an immature snotty brat.


    ��Hahaha!��


    Another wave of loud laughter came.


    Ye Yuan gave Song Yu a glance and said coolly, ��I��m called Ye Yuan. I��m from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.��


    ��Heavenly Eagle Imperial City? What place is that, never heard before. Haha, a puny little imperial aura can actually produce an imperial aura too? Just now, Liu Yi said that he stepped on dog shit when he stepped out of the house. You wouldn��t have eaten dog shit, right?��


    Ye Yuan had not finished talking yet when Song Yu directly verbally abused him right in his face.


    Song Yu had long discerned it. When the others heard his background and destiny, they all already looked up to him for guidance. But Ye Yuan had an aloof and indifferent appearance, not giving him any face at all.


    Therefore, he did not plan on saving Ye Yuan��s face either.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan only came from a remote tiny little imperial city.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s name, he had really not heard of it before.


    ��Hey, snotty brat! Eating dog shit, your destiny must be very flourishing, right? What��s your destiny? Such a great destiny, you can likely become a Dao Ancestor in the future, right?�� Song Yu convulsed with laughter in great delight.


    ��Hahaha!��


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��My destiny, actually, I don��t know either.��


    Everyone could not help being taken aback when they heard it. Those able to enter the Virtuous Wind Establishment, they needed to have imperial aura at the least.


    Because only a person with an imperial aura could enter the Ancient God Battlefield.


    But Ye Yuan said that he did not know?


    What kind of situation was this?


    ��Don��t know? Kid, you��re making fun of us, right? Those able to enter Virtuous Wind Establishment are all at least imperial auras that have gone through the approval of the Stellar Hall��s elders. You don��t even know yourself and you can come in? Or is it that your destiny is too weak and your strength is too low as well, so you��re embarrassed to say?�� Song Yu said with a contemptuous look.


    Not saying was naturally being embarrassed to say.


    Most likely, Ye Yuan��s destiny was the same as Liu Yi, just entered imperial aura.


    Makes sense, coming from a measly imperial aura, being able to have an imperial aura was already the limit.


    ��That��s not it. They all said that I��m of the emperor surmounting aura, but it��s all guesses. Because �� they don��t even dare to look,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Emperor surmounting aura? Don��t dare to look? Haha, it��s really getting more and more ridiculous! The Stellar Hall elders�� means are all exceedingly formidable, they would not dare to look? Kid, you also have to come up with a draft when you��re boasting, alright?�� Stellar Hall said with a cold smile.


    ��He didn��t lie. The Jian family members who have used the aura viewing art on him before all went blind.��


    At this time, a voice sounded out from the side-hall.


    Following that, a group of people slowly walked out. They were precisely the Stellar Hall��s eight elders.


    ��Elder Hongxiao!�� Song Yu��s face changed, immensely shocked in his heart.


    It was still his first time hearing that when the Jian Family��s people used the aura viewing art, they would actually go blind.


    But these words coming out of Jian Hongxiao��s words naturally would not be wrong.


    That late-stage imperial Guo Jingyang suddenly said with a look of surprise, ��Blinded? Could �� Could he be Ye Yuan, Master Ye?��


    Song Yu was taken aback and said, ��M-Master Ye?��


    He had naturally heard of Master Ye Yuan��s name before. The Jian family members in this city simply revered him like a god.


    Guo Jingyang nodded and said, ��Brother Song came late and might not have heard before. Back then, Master Ye and Master Hongxiao just entered Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. Protector Jian Hao��s son, Jian Yun, used the aura viewing art on Master Ye. In the end, his eyes went blind on the spot. Later, it was even treated by Master Ye.��


    When the group of children of destiny heard that, they were all extremely surprised.


    They had all heard of Master Ye��s name and even thought that he was an old fogey. Who would have thought that he was actually this young?


    No one connected this ��snotty brat�� in front of them with that Master Ye Yuan whose name shook Extreme Luck.


    Song Yu��s face was full of astoundment.


    He kept calling snotty brat earlier. Who would have expected that Ye Yuan was actually such a major figure?


    This face of yours was also too deceiving!


    Hang on, what did �� he say earlier?


    Emperor surmounting aura?


    Song Yu was speechless. Could it be that this Ye Yuan really had the emperor surmounting aura?


    Going blind with a look, how powerful a destiny was that!


    Why did Ye Yuan himself say that he was not sure?


    If the Jian Family suspected that he was of the emperor surmounting aura, couldn��t City Lord personally use the aura viewing art on him?


    With City Lord��s strength, he could see through Ye Yuan��s actual situation, right?


    Everyone knew that City Lord understood the mysteries of good fortune in terms of aura viewing art.


    How could Song Yu know that Jian Sutao wanted to look, but he did not dare to look!


    Everyone��s gazes shot toward Song Yu one after another, making his face incomparably scalding hot.


    Just as Song Yu was in a daze, the various elders had already taken their positions. An old figure appeared.


    ��We pay respects to City Lord!�� Seeing this old man, everyone hurriedly bowed and gave a salute.


    Even if it was Song Yu, he also did not dare to be the slightest bit neglectful in front of Jian Sutao.


    Jian Sutao slowly opened his mouth and said, ��You��re all the children of destiny that my Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital picked. Your future accomplishments are limitless. If you can obtain lucky chances from inside the Ancient God Battlefield, surpassing this empyrean in the future is also not impossible. Therefore, I wish you all the best! Alright, the hour has arrived, you all get ready, you��re about to set off.��


    On Jian Sutao��s body, a dense fog leaped up.


    It suddenly became incomparably dark inside the entire hall.


    Dots of stars lit up, a passageway appeared in front of everyone.


    Song Yu did not hesitate, taking the lead and entering. The rest followed closely behind.


    Ye Yuan was naturally the last one. In the instant he stepped into the passageway, Jian Sutao suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Ye Yuan, don��t forget the thing you promised this empyrean.��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Relax. The things that I, Ye Yuan, promised, I��ll live up to my word.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan did not hesitate, also going into the passageway.

 Chapter 1967 - Entering the Ancient God Battlefield

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Eh?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets who was currently casting a spell suddenly detected a trace of abnormality.


    His eyes seemed to be able to see through the void, directly landing on the Ye Yuan inside the passageway.


    ��This young man, interesting! Rather interesting!��


    Saying interesting twice in a row, for Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, that was absolutely encountering something that made him interested.


    By the side, a middle-aged man said in surprise, ��Lord Father, what thing made you so interested?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��With the Ancient God Battlefield opening this time, I discovered a very interesting little fellow.��


    ��Oh? Wonder what peculiarity this little fellow has, to actually be able to attract Father��s attention?��


    He knew that the Ancient God Battlefield had opened for no idea how many times already, His father had never revealed such an expression before. It showed that this little fellow was really very interesting.


    He understood that after his father reached his present realm, he had already reached the state of mind like an ancient well without ripples long ago. Extremely few things could make his mood have a change.


    But today, his father��s mood clearly had a ripple. This made him extremely shocked.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��It��s a little fellow who came from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. Father actually can��t see through his actual situation.��


    The pupils of the middle-aged man shrunk, and he said in surprise, ��Father calculates all of heaven��s secrets and knows about the matters under the heavens like the back of your hand. There��s actually someone that Father can��t see through in this world?��


    Profound Secrets shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Calculating all of heaven��s secrets? That��s only what you all think. Father merely lived a little longer and understood a little more about this world than others.��


    Profound Secrets stood with his hands behind his back, turned around to look towards that distant horizon, and said emotionally, ��Everyone says that I, Profound Secrets, am omniscient and all-powerful. But they don��t know that the moment my Jian Family touches calculating rods, Heavenly Dao is laughing! The higher one stands, the more it��s akin to treading on thin ice, and the more one feels that Heavenly Dao is unfathomable.��


    The middle-aged man was at a loss after listening. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s words, he could not comprehend at all.


    In his eyes, his father always had everything under control.


    In this world, there was nothing that he, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, could not calculate.


    Even those Dao Ancestors who were too lofty to reach were also courteous toward Father.


    His father was absolutely this Heavenspan World��s outlier, an existence above worldly considerations.


    The things that he said, he could not understand at all.


    Why would Heavenly Dao laugh?


    ��What Father said �� Yunxin doesn��t understand.��


    ��Huhu, perhaps one day, you��ll know. Go and inquire for me about the background of this little fellow,�� Profound Secrets said with a laugh.


    ��Yes, Father.�� Jian Yunxin received the order and left.


    ��


    Inside the passageway, Ye Yuan��s brows suddenly furrowed.


    ��Senior, I seem to feel that someone was spying on me just now,�� Ye Yuan said to Dustless.


    Dustless was rather surprised as he said, ��Spying on you? I didn��t detect it!��


    Ye Yuan was rather stunned; even Dustless actually did not feel it?


    ��Maybe it��s my misconception,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Dustless frowned as he thought about it and said, ��Might not be! Talk about your feeling just now.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��It was like �� Heavenly Dao��s overlooking; it was intangible.��


    Dustless said, ��This Ancient God Battlefield��s passageway was opened up by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets with a great divine ability. Sending you all into the Ancient God Battlefield is also Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s work. Could it be that �� it was him spying on you?��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his brows could not help furrowing.


    Being noticed by such a powerhouse was not what he desired.


    Although he looked forward to meeting Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets very much, he also knew that this kind of person was too ephemeral. That person was not what the current him could come into contact with.


    Being noticed by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was not some good thing.


    ��Forget it. It��s a blessing if not a calamity; if it��s a calamity, it can��t be avoided.��


    Just as Ye Yuan was hesitating, Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes. A desolate aura hit him face-on.


    In front of him, it was a boundless land with yellow sand all over the place, unable to see the end with a glance.


    Suddenly, the winds and clouds changed.


    Above the horizon, two powerhouses surged with mighty divine essence, fighting fiercely in close quarters, fighting until heaven rend asunder and the earth cracked.


    Suddenly, an attack dispersed and headed straight toward their side.


    The faces of Song Yu and the rest changed drastically as they cried out in surprise, ��Goodness, quickly run!��


    As he said, he turned around and ran!


    At this time, the young powerhouses in this area were probably no less than several hundred people.


    When everyone saw this horrifying energy undulation, each and every one of them was scared until their faces were ashen, turning tail and running like Song Yu.


    But how could they escape?


    That energy undulation arrived in an instant. However, there was no exploding sound like everyone imagined.


    It evaporated into thin air just like that.


    Lifting their heads and looking over again, those two powerhouses also disappeared into thin air. Their traces were no longer there.


    ��What the hell? Turns out that it was a false alarm!��


    ��Damn it, scared me to death! What��s going on here?��


    ��Don��t tell that those two powerhouses just now were both illusions?��


    ��


    Those young powerhouses all cursed angrily to no end, clearly feeling like they were made fun of.


    At this time, Liu Yi suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan and marveled with admiration. He said, ��Little Brother is indeed not an ordinary person. Facing such a heaven-shocking energy undulation and your countenance didn��t even change.��


    That unexpected turn of events just now, only a small number of people stood in place and not moved.


    Ye Yuan was one of them.


    Ye Yuan gave the wretched-looking Liu Yi a glance and said with a faint smile, ��Playing a pig to eat a tiger, looks like Brother Liu has mastered the skill to perfection!��


    Liu Yi was surprised in his heart, but he had a wretched look on his face as he said, ��What��s little brother talking about? This Liu doesn��t understand!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You and I know in our hearts, that will do.��


    Liu Yi getting snubbed, went over to the side to hide awkwardly.


    But for Ye Yuan, he became alert instead.


    Although Song Yu��s strength was strong, Ye Yuan did not take it to heart.


    He was merely a young master who had not experienced tempering before. In a place like the Ancient God Battlefield, he would not even know what was going on after being schemed to death by people


    But from the very start, Ye Yuan was very vigilant toward this Liu Yi.


    He instinctively felt that Liu Yi was not simple.


    An itinerant cultivator like him could actually rise rapidly all the way up, reaching imperial aura at this kind of age. This absolutely could not be summed up with a simple word like ��destiny.��


    Actually, since entering the Ancient God Battlefield, Ye Yuan had been observing Liu Yi.


    Sure enough, when everyone turned pale with fright and was running away just now, Liu Yi pretended to look surprised and ran together with everyone.


    The scared expression on his face was very fake. But at this sort of time, there naturally would not be anyone who would pay attention to him.


    Even so, he still made such an expression. The depths of his cunningness could be seen.


    Ye Yuan believed in destiny but did not believe in destiny entirely.


    Human effort was a decisive factor. Defying the heavens and changing fate, this sort of thing was not just a legend.


    For Liu Yi to be able to walk until today step by step, he definitely did not rely on just luck.


    Right at this time, a deep voice rang in everyone��s ears. The person said, ��That isn��t an illusion!��


    ��Who? Who��s talking?��


    Everyone turned pale with fright because they could not find anyone at all.


    That voice sounded out once more. The person said, ��Don��t need to look for me. This emperor is in a closed-seclusion in the depths of the Ancient God Battlefield. You can��t find me. This emperor is the Ancient God Battlefield��s guardian. You all entering the Ancient God Battlefield, this emperor has a few things to warn you about.��


    ��This emperor! It��s �� It��s a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!��


    When everyone heard that, their faces changed color due to feeling terrified.

 Chapter 1968 - Battle Spirits

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan��s heart went slightly cold. This should be the Jian Family��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    The Jian Family was really too powerful, to actually use a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse to garrison the Ancient God Battlefield.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had lived for far too long. His descendants had also similarly lived for far too long.


    With his good luck, the Jian Family��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were likely not a few.


    This family clan was too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan even had a feeling that the Jian Family might be the Heavenspan World��s number one major family clan.


    As Ye Yuan was lost in thought, that voice continued to echo faintly, shocking the mind.


    ��The place that you all are standing at was hewed open by Ancestor Profound Secrets with a great divine ability. It��s the only safe place in this Ancient God Battlefield. Those two people��s great battle earlier was also not an illusion ����


    This Heavenly Emperor��s words poured out easily and fluently, talking tirelessly about this Ancient God Battlefield��s perils.


    It turned out that inside this Ancient God Battlefield, there had once been countless powerhouses that perished.


    Before those powerhouses died, the unwillingness in their chest cut across the long river of history, and would occasionally trigger heaven and earth spiritual energy, playing out the image when they were alive, having a great battle with their opponents again.


    Those two figures earlier were the battle scene of two Heavenly Emperor powerhouses when they were alive.


    Although this battle was not as earth-shaking as when they were alive, it could similarly stir up powerful spiritual energy undulations.


    Those energy undulations were all real!


    Once swept by these spiritual energies, one would not even know how they died.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered, he felt that there was a mysterious energy undulation all around, like a barrier.


    Hence, when those two powerhouses were fighting, he did not move.


    He believed that those people who did not move were the same as him. They felt this undulation.


    Those people��s comprehensions of Heavenly Dao were extremely deep. All of them were going to be troublesome for him.


    Ye Yuan already secretly remembered these people��s faces. When he ran into them again, he would need to be careful.


    Of course, there was also that Liu Yi.


    Hearing this Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s words, each and every one of them, their expressions were all rather ugly.


    This ancient god battlefield was too dangerous!


    ��Now, you all can start to seek out lucky chances on your own. You can move collectively and can also work alone. Of course, this emperor advises you all to take action collectively. This way, the chances of seizing treasures will be a little higher. You all have three years�� time. After three years, this barrier will disappear, and you all will stay in this place for as long as ten thousand years. However, if you��re afraid, you can also keep staying inside this shield, all the way until the passageway closes.��


    Finished saying, that voice disappeared. It was as if it had never appeared before.


    These children of destiny began forming cliques.


    Of course, these people came from different great imperial capitals. The majority formed alliances with the great imperial capitals as the unit of measurement.


    Song Yu recovered to that boundless enthusiastic appearance and opened his mouth and said, ��Everybody, are you all planning on moving alone, or are you going together with me? But I��ll say it first. If it��s together, you have to listen to my orders. If anyone is half-hearted when the time comes, I��ll kill him without the slightest mercy!��


    Song Yu��s gaze swept over with a grave look.


    He naturally had the qualifications to say so. Having a Third Firmament True God��s strength, even in Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, it was also considered head and shoulders above others.


    ��Heh, who the hell do you think you are? I��m also a child of destiny, why should I follow you? Farewell!��


    ��No need, I plan to work alone!��


    ��


    Right at this time, a series of arguing sounds came over from not far away.


    Clearly, these people did not want to move with the majority of the force but wanted to work alone.


    Although moving alone was dangerous, the lucky chances obtained were all theirs.


    If there were a lot of people, a bout of snatching could not be avoided when the time comes. Whose hands it would end up in was still unknown.


    It could say that each path had its own pros and cons.


    Those who came here were all children of destiny, each and every one of them were all from imperial capitals or great imperial capitals�� pillars of society. How could they be willing to be below others?


    Hence, some people directly bade farewell and left.


    This shield��s radius was not large. Those few people went out of the circle very soon.


    With several people taking the lead, more and more people planned on working alone.


    The few figures gradually moved further away. All of a sudden, the situation changed drastically.


    Outside the circle, one illusory figure after another condensed.


    The surging killing intent almost turned corporeal, directly passing through the barrier, making people palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��


    Outside the circle, battle cries shook the heavens. Those few children of destiny that went out first were surrounded very quickly.


    Everyone��s faces changed, looking at this scene in terror.


    ��These �� These are the battle spirits that the emperor earlier mentioned?��


    Earlier, that Heavenly Emperor powerhouse said before that there were battle spirits everywhere in the Ancient God Battlefield.


    The strength of the battle spirits varied from the Celestial Deity Realm to the Empyrean Realm.


    These battle spirits were condensed and formed from the divine soul fragments of those powerhouses from countless years ago.


    The Ancient God Battlefield��s environment was very special. Those powerhouses�� divine soul fragments were unable to enter samsara and could only drift between heaven and earth, finally forming into a new spirit body.


    Through so many years of development, their strength already became very terrifying.


    Powerful battle spirits could even reach the Empyrean Realm.


    However, this kind of battle spirit was very, very few.


    Currently, those battle spirits outside were mostly Celestial Deity Realm.


    The important thing was that these battle spirits were too numerous!


    Those few children of destiny were not weak. Most of them had a Second Firmament True God��s strength.


    Otherwise, they also would not dare to go out themselves.


    They were very strong, but they could not fend off the numerous battle spirits.


    Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise, ��Not good! There are True God Realm existences among these battle spirits!��


    Sure enough, those few children of destiny all encountered their opponents and were tied down by True God Realm battle spirits very soon.


    These battle spirits were all extremely ferocious and did not fear death at all.


    With the entanglement of True God Realm battle spirits, those Celestial Deity Realm battle spirits could play a role.


    Even if their attacks only caused a tiny bit of damage, when accumulated, it was also very terrifying.


    In the end, under the watchful gazes of everyone, those few children of destiny were actually dismembered by those battle spirits with a flurry of blades.


    Within the circle, those children of destiny were all ashen, being frightened by this scene.


    The battle spirits�� murderous air was extremely heavy as if they only knew slaughter. They were being completely unreasonable!


    Those children of destiny who planned on acting alone quietly turned back.


    This scene let them deeply experience the danger of this Ancient God Battlefield.


    But Song Yu laughed coldly and said, ��How is it? Does anyone still want to move alone now? You can go, I won��t stop you guys.��


    The others did not make a sound anymore.


    After ruminating for a moment, Guo Jingyang opened his mouth and said, ��I��ll join!��


    ��I��ll join too!��


    ��


    They were not fools, being under others was better than losing their lives.


    Song Yu chuckled and said, ��You guys want to join, also can. But we have to come to an agreement beforehand, the treasures obtained, I want 50% all to myself!��


    When everyone heard that, their faces could not help changing.


    Guo Jingyang frowned and said, ��Song Yu, you��re also too greedy, right?��


    But Song Yu smiled faintly and said, ��Greedy? Just now, I advised you all to join, you all harbored ulterior motives. Now, seeing the danger, you want to seek my protection. How can there be such a good thing in this world?��

 Chapter 1969 - Beg me!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Originally, everyone was on the same starting line.


    Although Song Yu��s strength was strong, everyone gave it no heed.


    They all felt that as long as they obtained a little lucky chance, breaking through to the Third Firmament True God would naturally be a cinch.


    But now, they could not even step out of the door without forming a team. What to do now?


    Dealing with these battle spirits, with Song Yu��s strength, he would naturally exert himself the most.


    Fighting alone was no different from seeking death.


    Hence, everyone had to ask Song Yu for help. The situation was naturally different.


    The expressions on everyone��s face was very ugly. Song Yu getting 50% of the benefits alone, this was too wicked.


    ��Heh, since you��re not willing, then I��ll find others to form a team,�� he said. Song Yu turned around and left.


    Guo Jingyang��s face changed and he said, ��Okay, I agree!��


    ��I �� I agree too!��


    Song Yu��s move of allowing more latitude first in order to get a tighter rein achieved its effect very soon.


    ��Huhu, since that��s the case, then let��s set it like this. The treasures obtained, I get 50%. The remaining 50%, you guys distribute them yourselves,�� Song Yu smiled and said.


    The others had black faces, clearly feeling very gloomy.


    The more treasures obtained, the more exuberant one��s destiny naturally would be.


    With Song Yu��s talent, if he obtained so many treasures, he might be able to break through to the emperor surmounting aura in one go.


    As for Song Yu, he was naturally unwilling to find other people to form a team anymore.


    Forming teams with the powerhouses of other imperial cities, he naturally could not get so many treasures. Furthermore, he also would not be able to lead the team.


    These children of destiny would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. How could they be willing to be beneath others?


    Hence, these children of destiny formed big and small circles.


    Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s nine people, there were seven people who announced to join Song Yu��s team very quickly. There was only Ye Yuan and Liu Yi left.


    ��Heh, old man, are you planning on going out alone?�� Song Yu looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Liu Yi gave a wretched smile and said, ��How can I! I �� I��ll join Sir Song��s team.��


    Song Yu nodded his head and looked toward Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile, saying with a mocking face: ��This sir with the emperor surmounting aura shouldn��t be joining our team, right?��


    ��Emperor surmounting aura? That kid is actually of the emperor surmounting aura!��


    ��Heh heh, so what if emperor surmounting aura? With his strength, even if he has emperor surmounting aura, it��s also dying until not even dregs remain. Based on this, he still needs to beg people.��


    ��


    Song Yu��s words immediately drew quite a bit of focus.


    After all, of these children of destiny, imperial auras were plentiful, while emperor surmounting auras were in the minority.


    This kind of ratio was roughly the same as Empyrean Realm powerhouses and Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    Among a hundred Empyrean Realm powerhouses, there might not be one who could break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    Toward the emperor surmounting aura, if their strength was strong, everyone naturally would not say anything.


    But Ye Yuan��s strength was too poor. Everyone looked at him rather interestedly, looking at him being humiliated by the others.


    This was also considered the mentality of hating and wanting to be wealthy, right?


    Song Yu sneered coldly in his heart, so what if destiny was high? So what if he knew how to refine pills?


    In this Ancient God Battlefield, everything still depended on strength!


    When he obtained treasures and broke through to the emperor surmounting aura, he would fling this kid far away behind.


    Arrogant for what?!


    During that time at Virtuous Wind Establishment, his face was utterly lost.


    At that time, there were so many big shots around. So he naturally did not dare to say anything.


    But now, the situation had reversed. Ye Yuan had to look to him for help. Song Yu naturally had to knead him well.


    Beg me!


    Beg me!


    Whether I agree or not depends on my mood!


    Song Yu was delighted in his heart.


    Everyone��s gaze was cast on Ye Yuan, wanting to see if he would lower his head or not.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s right. I��m planning on working alone, you guys go ahead.��


    Everyone was taken back, working alone?


    Even if you wanted face, there was also no need to be like this, right?


    Could it be that those people being dismembered by a flurry of blades earlier, he did not see it?


    There were a series of question marks on top of everyone��s heads, all dumbstruck with astonishment by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Song Yu was stunned first, then immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Working alone? Heh, our emperor surmounting aura expert is really domineering! Hahaha!��


    The rest also roared with laughter, feeling that Ye Yuan was keeping up appearance to cover up his predicament.


    As long as he went out, moving alone would definitely die until not even dregs remained; unless he was not planning to go out.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    When Song Yu saw this expression, he felt as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly and said with a cold snort, ��I want to see how you act alone! If you have the capability, don��t hide in here and not go out!��


    The teams had an outcome very soon, it was mostly grouped with great imperial capital as the factor.


    But there were also a small number of weaker ones who formed a small team.


    Hence, one team after another started going out of the circle and heading into the depths of the Ancient God Battlefield.


    The moment they went out of the circle, countless battle spirits started surrounding them.


    However, the strengths of these children of destiny were not ordinary. With them cooperating together, they naturally did not fear these battle spirits.


    Song Yu gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a cold smile, ��Child of emperor surmounting aura, why haven��t you gone out yet, scared? Heh, if you beg me now, I can consider taking you for a ride.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said coolly, ��Many thanks for Sir Song��s good intentions, but there��s no need.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and actually went straight out of the circle.


    The faces of Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s people changed, looking at this scene in shock.


    Being suicidal for face?


    This �� This was also too impressive, right?


    This was not keeping up appearance to cover up his predicament. This was wanting to save face to the point it would really be fatal!


    ��This kid��s brain is spoiled, right?��


    ��What emperor surmounting aura? Simply a fool!��


    ��What��s the point of this dispute caused by personal feelings? Losing his life in vain!��


    ��


    Extreme Luck��s people had mocking looks on their faces, very disapproving of Ye Yuan��s actions.


    Only Liu Yi��s two eyes were narrowed slightly, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan��s figure. No one knew what he was thinking.


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, revealing an astonished look.


    Not just him, the other people��s faces similarly went from sneering to shock.


    Especially Song Yu, the look on his face was ugly to the extreme.


    Without the least bit of surprise, the moment Ye Yuan came out, he was surrounded by battle spirits that blotted out the skies and covered the earth very quickly.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of defending at all. He just walked leisurely like that.


    When the attacks of those Celestial Deity Realm battle spirits landed on his body, it did not have any effect at all, not even causing an itch!


    The perfect sixth transformation golden body Ye Yuan had once shattered a true god mystic treasure with one punch.


    With his perverse defensive power, the attacks of mere Celestial Deity Realm battle spirits was nothing to him at all.


    ��This �� What��s going on?��


    ��This defensive strength is also a little too freakish, right?��


    ��Hang on, he��s a body cultivator! His fleshy body has already reached the sixth transformation golden body. The attacks of mere Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses can��t hurt him at all!��


    ��


    When the children of destiny who had not let the circle yet saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    The defensive power of body-cultivating martial artists were all very perverse.


    One should not look at how these martial artists cultivated to the True God Realm; their physical bodies might be inferior to Celestial Deity Realm body-cultivators.


    Their defensive power was completely relying on divine essence protecting the body.


    One or two Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses naturally would not hurt them.


    But once the numbers went up, and there were even True God Realm martial artists tangling, their protective divine essence would be slowly whittled away.


    Once it was weakened to a certain degree, the attacks of Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses would cause damage to them.

 Chapter 1970 - Qinghong Battle Armor

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan lightly threw a punch out, directly crushing a True God Realm battle spirit to dust.


    Entanglement?


    It did not exist!


    The battle spirit��s strength was not up to his level. It could not cause any hindrance to him at all.


    ��Sigh, if we had known earlier, we��d have followed me. Facing these battle spirits, body-cultivators have too much advantage.��


    ��Isn��t that so. It��s too late now.��


    ��


    Extreme Luck��s people had regretful faces. Song Yu��s face swelled to the color of pig liver.


    Ye Yuan walking over was like looking at flowers while riding on horseback. It was too effortless.


    Very soon, his position went past those squads that went first.


    While those squads were still caught in arduous struggles, their progress was very slow.


    ��Enough crap! Still not moving, the treasures will be snatched by people!�� Song Yu said crossly.


    One sentence made everyone startle awake. A group of people also rushed into the battle spirit great army.


    One squad after another pressed onward ahead and also scattered the battle spirit army. Everyone��s speed of progress also became much faster.


    Ye Yuan came out from the center, but at this time, he already walked to the front of the entire squad.


    The places that he passed by, those teams were all extremely surprised.


    Of course, they were also very envious.


    Although the cultivation of a body cultivator was very arduous, at this time, it was undoubtedly the most useful.


    ��Mn?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows suddenly raised up, his gaze sweeping to the earth mound not far away, where more than ten skeletons were lying scattered.


    Looking at the appearance, they were the children of destiny that entered in the past.


    Existences with the potential to become Empyreans died quietly in this place just like that.


    Ye Yuan turned around and walked over towards the earth mound.


    ��Eh, what is that body cultivator doing? There are quite a number of True God Realm battle spirits over there!��


    Ye Yuan��s every action had everyone��s attention. Someone discovered his unusual action very quickly.


    The strength of the battle spirits over at the earth mound was clearly a magnitude stronger. There were already quite a lot of True God Realm battle spirits gathered.


    But Ye Yuan did not care. Those were mostly First Firmament True God strength battle spirits. They did not pose much threat to him at all.


    When he came over, he would smash them with one punch.


    Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at those skeletons that numbered over a dozen.


    It was only to see him reach his hand out and sweep, collecting the storage rings scattered around the skeletons.


    The backgrounds of these children of destiny were all very noble. They naturally would have with them some good stuff. Ye Yuan collected them without being courteous.


    When the various teams saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely envious.


    No wonder he was a person with the emperor surmounting aura.


    This was picking up treasures wherever he went!


    Collecting all the storage rings, Ye Yuan then lifted his hand and punched, blasting out a large hole in the earth mound.


    Then, flicking his sleeves grandly, he swept those skeletons inside.


    ��All of you are also considered pitiful people. I��ll lay you all to rest.��


    Ye Yuan gave a sigh and buried these skeletons.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s heart stirred. A weak aura was detected by him.


    ��These children of destiny clearly know that it��s dangerous here, but all run over here. There��s a problem!�� Ye Yuan thought.


    His gaze aimed at the top of this earth mound, even though that side had people��s line of sight blocked by countless battle spirits.


    ��Mn? What is he trying to do?��


    Everyone was extremely doubtful when they saw Ye Yuan��s action.


    The further one went up, the stronger the strength of the battle spirits.


    If Ye Yuan went further up, wasn��t that courting death?


    Up there were Second Firmament True God powerful battle spirits!


    No matter how strong your defensive power was, could it still resist a Second Firmament True God?


    But Ye Yuan went up just like that.


    Heading up, First Firmament True God battle spirits became more and more. Ye Yuan did not care at all, giving a punch for each one, hitting until those battle spirits cried in pain.


    When the children of destiny below saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    This strength was also a little too fearsome, right?


    Dealing with a First Firmament True God battle spirit, they could achieve it very easily.


    But a group of True God Realm battle spirits, their pressure would be very great.


    However, Ye Yuan seemed to be completely fine.


    Ye Yuan��s attention was not on those battle spirits at all. His eyes were looking around, as if searching for something.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up.


    In the dirt, an inconspicuous battle armor caught his attention.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Right at this time, three battle spirits suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.


    Ye Yuan looked at those three battle spirits and said with a faint smile, ��It��s not easy for you all to cultivate. Do you want to dissipate like clouds and mist?��


    The three battle spirits were indifferent. Roaring wildly, they pounced over toward Ye Yuan.


    These three battle spirits were shockingly Second Firmament True Gods.


    There were also more than ten First Firmament True God battle spirits that pounced over together with them.


    Far away, when Song Yu saw this scene, he was immediately wildly ecstatic.


    ��Die! Die! Who ask you to posture! Three Second Firmament True God battle spirits, I want to see how you fend off!��


    Roar!


    A dragon roar surged to the sky, obliterating the three Second Firmament True God battle spirits.


    Those battle spirits immediately had a large swarm of them dead.


    Then, Ye Yuan laid his hands on that unremarkable battle armor from the earth mound.


    ��S-So strong! I really didn��t expect that his strength was actually so strong! Those were three Second Firmament True God battle spirits! They were actually obliterated by him just like that.��


    ��Eh, what��s he holding in his hand? It looks shabby and tattered.��


    ��


    Right at this time, that battle armor trembled slightly. The dust on it immediately scattered off.


    A powerful force immediately appeared before everyone.


    That battle armor seemed to be emitting a joyous light cry.


    Song Yu��s face changed and he cried out in surprise, ��This undulation, could it be �� could it be an empyrean spirit treasure?��


    Whoosh!


    That battle armor turned into a stream of flowing light, wrapping Ye Yuan��s body up.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, ��Qinghong Battle Armor! Not bad, not bad! Good stuff! No wonder those children of destiny all braved the danger and still wanted to climb up this earth mound.��


    This battle armor was called Qinghong Battle Armor. It was precisely an empyrean spirit treasure.


    Everyone looked toward Ye Yuan with envious looks on their faces.


    Inside this Ancient God Battlefield, there were treasures everywhere. It depended on whether you had the lucky chance to obtain it.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually obtained an empyrean spirit treasure so effortlessly!


    Right at this time, several First Firmament True God battle spirits pounced toward Ye Yuan without heed for their lives once again.


    All of a sudden, a green light radiated brilliantly on Ye Yuan��s body.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Those battle spirits were directly blasted into debris by the green light just like that.


    Ye Yuan did not even take the initiative to activate it and it actually had such terrifying power.


    A bright pearl being cast into darkness; seeing the light of day again presently, the Qinghong Battle Armor seemed to have the intention of seeking credit, and it actually took the initiative to exhibit its power.


    When the others saw this scene, they were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    This luck was also a little too heaven-defying, right?


    If this battle armor was worn on them, that was simply sweeping away all obstacles!


    It was just a pity that that belonged to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, his figure moving, descending the earth mound.


    Along the way, those battle spirits did not dare to approach him in the slightest at all.


    With the Qinghong Battle Armor, it was even more effortless for him to advance now.


    When the rest saw this scene, apart from envy, it was still envy.


    Except, they did not dare to ease up in the least.


    Continuing ahead, Ye Yuan even casually picked up quite a number of true god mystic treasures by the roadside.


    Either way, he was walking in front. Everyone could not keep up with his speed at all.


    Those children of destiny were all angered until they vomited blood. They were powerless to do anything no matter what.

 Chapter 1971 - : All Didn’t Eat Rice?

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Envy, jealousy, hatred.


    These were those children of destiny��s current emotions.


    People were casually picking up treasures there, but they had to deal with the endless battle spirits here.


    This kind of mood was really what the f*ck.


    But they could not help it!


    With Ye Yuan obtaining the Qinghong Battle Armor, it was even more likely that he could enter a place where no one could put up resistance against these battle spirits.


    Even those First Firmament True God existences could not get close to his body at all too.


    The Ancient God Battlefield indeed had treasures everywhere. Ye Yuan really picked up quite a number of precious materials, mystic treasures, cultivation methods, secret manuals and etc along the way.


    However, this area was just the outer-region of the ancient god battlefield. The majority of treasures were mostly celestial deity mystic treasures and true god mystic treasures.


    The Qinghong Battle Armor that Ye Yuan obtained was absolutely an extremely rare item.


    It was also precisely because of this that everyone was extremely envious of him.


    These children of destiny were highborn. They normally did not lack true god mystic treasures on them.


    But empyrean spirit treasures, even the lousiest empyrean spirit treasure, a single one was also not what they could be entitled to.


    Empyrean spirit treasures being placed in the outside world, each item was sufficient to cause a stir.


    Suddenly, the scene before Ye Yuan��s eyes changed. There were actually no more battle spirits following around him.


    Those battle spirits seemed to fear something, all retreating away.


    ��Damn it, finally came out!��


    ��So many battle spirits! Just how many powerhouses died in that war back then!��


    ��Who the hell knows! Looking at this appearance, probably just the True God Realm powerhouses are in the tens of thousands!��


    ��


    One small team after another killed their way out of the heavy encirclement of the battle spirit army, finally letting out a sigh of relief.


    Even if it was forming teams to do battle, there were also quite a few children of destiny who died inside the battle spirit army.


    Even on Extreme Luck��s side, they also lost two children of destiny.


    Now, counting in Ye Yuan, Extreme Luck only had seven people left.


    Song Yu arrived behind Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, hand over the empyrean spirit treasure!��


    To them, empyrean spirit treasures were absolutely considered a major lucky chance.


    As long as Song Yu obtained this empyrean spirit treasure, he felt that he might have a chance of breaking through to empyrean spirit treasure.


    However, Ye Yuan ignored him.


    Ye Yuan was currently straining his eyes and looking into the distance, brows tightly locked.


    In front was a stretch of dusky fog. With his visual prowess, he could merely see a thousand feet away too.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan had no reaction, Song Yu��s brows furrowed. He then said in a cold voice, ��I��m talking to you right now, didn��t you hear?��


    Right at this time, there were several more figures that slowly walked over, surrounding Ye Yuan in the center.


    These were all Third Firmament True God powerhouses!


    ��Heh, emperor surmounting aura is also not a big deal. Hand over the empyrean spirit treasure,�� said a handsome young man with well-chiseled features to Ye Yuan.


    ��Entering the Ancient God Battlefield, destiny is useless; strength is number one,�� another effeminate middle-aged man said.


    Although Ye Yuan performed extremely eye-catching inside the battle spirit army, in the eyes of these Third Firmament True Gods, it was nothing at all.


    With their strength, even by themselves, they could barge through this battle spirit army too.


    The might of a Third Firmament True God was far from what Second Firmament True Gods could compare to.


    Ye Yuan turned around slightly, sweeping a glance over everyone��s faces, and said with a faint smile, ��Want the empyrean spirit treasure? Come and take it yourself!��


    ��Heh, think that you��re of the emperor surmounting aura, you can be condescending? This place doesn��t have just you, one emperor surmounting aura! I, Zuo Mo, am one too!�� said that handsome youth disdainfully.


    ��Just an emperor surmounting aura! I, Feng Xiaotian, am also one. Therefore, are you planning on making us take action?�� said the effeminate man.


    Counting in Song Yu, there were four people surrounding Ye Yuan at present. They were all Third Firmament True Gods.


    No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yuan did not have chances of victory either.


    The rest were all quaking, clearly not expecting that these two people were both people with emperor surmounting auras.


    Possessing an emperor surmounting aura and their own strength was even this strong, this was the capital to be arrogant.


    Meanwhile, in their minds, Ye Yuan was somewhat overestimating his own ability.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Really so much nonsense. If you��re not making a move, I��ll be taking action!��


    His voice had yet to fade when the color of the sky suddenly turned dim.


    A powerful stellar power suddenly appeared around Ye Yuan.


    Stellar War Banner!


    When the three people saw the situation, their faces could not help changing drastically.


    ��Empyrean spirit treasure! It��s another empyrean spirit treasure!�� Zuo Mo cried out in surprise.


    ��This kid actually has two empyrean spirit treasures!�� Feng Xiaotian similarly cried out in surprise.


    However, it was already too late for them to cry out in surprise.


    Ye Yuan, who had already reached Origin Pill Realm, when he used the Stellar War Banner again, the power already could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    It was only to see him point the war banner, directly smashing over toward Song Yu.


    That horrifying stellar power made Song Yu��s countenance change visibly.


    He did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, immediately mustering up all of his divine essence to stop the Stellar War Banner��s power with world power.


    Zuo Mo and the rest were also swift when the opportunity arose, giving a loud roar, ��Attack together!��


    The other three people unleashed attacks toward Ye Yuan without thinking.


    Three terrifying energy undulations charged straight over toward Ye Yuan.


    This was a method of relieving the besieged by besieging the besiegers, wanting to force Ye Yuan to pull back and save himself.


    It was not that they wanted to save Song Yu, but the strength which Ye Yuan exhibited made them rather terrified.


    Losing a companion, their combat power would naturally be greatly discounted.


    However �� Ye Yuan did not have the intention of defending at all!


    It was only to see rays of verdant rainbow emit off Ye Yuan��s body, directly protecting him inside it.


    Bang!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Under the Stellar War Banner, Song Yu was akin to being struck by a sledgehammer, directly flying out backward.


    Meanwhile, the other three attacks landed right on Ye Yuan��s body.


    The verdant light could not hold on very soon and dissipated.


    Ye Yuan��s figure was shaking until he retreated more than ten steps in a row before barely managing to stabilize himself.


    ��How is this possible!��


    ��Is it real or fake?��


    ��He �� He��s actually completely fine?��


    ��


    The three people looked at Ye Yuan, shocked until it could not be any greater.


    The joint attack of three great Third Firmament True God powerhouses, Ye Yuan actually forcefully withstood it. There was not even a hint of injury on his body.


    Even if he had an empyrean spirit treasure, this defensive power was also too perverse, right?


    One had to know, empyrean spirit treasures were not a panacea.


    If the offensive power was strong enough, one would also be shocked to death.


    Under the teamwork of three Third Firmament True Gods, even if a Second Firmament True God used an empyrean spirit treasure, they should also have been shocked to death alive.


    But Ye Yuan was actually completely unscathed.


    Although Third Firmament True Gods were strong, Ye Yuan��s perfect sixth transformation golden body��s defensive power was perversely strong to begin with.


    Now, adding on the Qinghong Battle Armor, for Third Firmament True Gods to want to hurt him, it was really very difficult.


    Unless they could keep on dragging it out, and then deplete Ye Yuan��s divine essence.


    Otherwise, there was no chance at all.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan would not give them the chance at all.


    Because Ye Yuan still had another empyrean spirit treasure in his hand. He had the Stellar War Banner!


    Song Yu struggled to crawl up, already sustaining considerable internal injuries.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with an apprehensive look.


    Two empyrean spirit treasures, this was a set-up that made him jealous until it drove him crazy!


    Ye Yuan patted the dust on his body and said with a cold smile, ��What? All didn��t eat rice? Just this bit of strength and you also want to obtain an empyrean spirit treasure?��


    The four people��s faces turned grim, practically dripping water.

 Chapter 1972 - Consider Yourself Ruthless!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Isn��t it just relying on the power of an empyrean spirit treasure? What ability can that even be considered as?!�� Zuo Mo laughed coldly with a look of disdain.


    They were naturally unconvinced in their hearts. Putting aside the spirit treasure, Ye Yuan was not their match at all.


    What kind of ability can that even be considered as, with him relying on foreign objects?


    Of course, if these treasures landed in their hands, they absolutely would not say so.


    Ye Yuan swept them a glance and said coolly, ��I have empyrean spirit treasures; I��m bullying you all. Still not convinced?��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan did not say a word. The Stellar War Banner was waved once more.


    When the three people saw the situation, their faces could not help changing.


    Witnessing the Stellar War Banner��s power, how could they still dare to be neglectful? All mustering up their strength, the three people joined hands to resist.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Rumbling sounds shook the heavens.


    Ye Yuan relied on the power of the Stellar War Banner and did not defend himself at all. He just pounced on the three people crazily, completely a bullying style of play.


    Zuo Mo three people were beaten until they were practically about to vomit blood. They had yet to have fought such an aggrieved battle before.


    They could only take a beating and could not fight back.


    Fighting back was still okay, but they could not budge him even a little!


    Their attacks did not have any effect when landing on Ye Yuan��s body.


    Fighting until now, Ye Yuan was completely fine.


    Rather, it was them who were beaten by the Stellar War Banner until their innards were in upheaval, divine essence being in disorder.


    This kind of fighting style was simply unreasonable.


    ��Stop! Quickly stop! We �� We don��t want the empyrean spirit treasure anymore!�� Feng Xiaotian shouted repeatedly.


    This kind of battle, he did not want to continue fighting anymore.


    Their divine essence was already somewhat losing steam. Looking at Ye Yuan, on the other hand, he was completely fine.


    Was this guy really a First Firmament True God?


    Could it be that his divine essence was endless?


    This kind of fighting method was too shameless, but they could not help it at all and could only admit defeat.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure abruptly stopped.


    Zuo Mo three people heaved a sigh at the same time. But currently, the three of them were panting heavily for air, clearly tired out badly just now.


    At this very moment, the gazes that these children of destiny looked at Ye Yuan with were full of alarm and fear.


    No wonder he was of the emperor surmounting aura. Being just a First Firmament True God and he actually already had two empyrean spirit treasures on him.


    Furthermore, these two empyrean spirit treasures had both offensive and defensive ability, and could actually let him jump realms to overpower three Third Firmament True Gods.


    This kind of destiny could be rated as heaven-defying!


    ��Various lord emperor surmounting auras, if you need empyrean spirit treasures, you��re welcome to come to take it at any time,�� Ye Yuan had a proud appearance due to having spirit treasures as he said with a grin.


    The few people��s faces were very ugly. Zuo Mo gritted his teeth and said, ��Consider yourself ruthless! Let��s go!��


    Finished talking, he brought his own squad into the fog. He seriously could not stay in this place anymore.


    The rest also slunk away.


    Originally, everyone harbored the mentality of watching a show. But no one could have thought that the few strongest children of destiny were actually suppressed completely by a First Firmament True God.


    They finally knew that Ye Yuan��s strength was already the pinnacle-most existence among these children of destiny.


    At this time, a handsome youth suddenly walked up and said to Ye Yuan with clasped hands, ��Brother Ye is indeed skillful. I��m from Pure Source Great Imperial Capital; my strength is just alright. I wonder if I can form a team together with Brother Ye?��


    With his taking the lead, many children of destiny who boasted that their strength was decent all wanted to form a team with Ye Yuan.


    For some time, Ye Yuan became a hot property.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Sorry about this, but this Ye doesn��t have the intention of forming teams with people. If there are any fortuitous encounters, everyone each relies on their own abilities.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan also strode straight into the fog.


    He was neither kith nor kin with these children of destiny. He did not have the duty of being their protective umbrella.


    Previously, when Zuo Mo the few of them came to find trouble, these people were all harboring the mentality of watching a show. Now, they wanted to come and find him. How could there be such a good thing in this world?


    But Ye Yuan did not notice that a gaze in the crowd was staring fixedly at him all along without leaving.


    ��


    Upon entering the fog, Ye Yuan��s eyesight could only reach several hundred feet far.


    Ye Yuan immediately perked his spirits up 120%. He had a feeling that starting from here, it would be considered entering the truly dangerous region.


    Were those battle spirits outside strong or not?


    Very strong!


    But those battle spirits, not one actually dared to approach this fog. It clearly indicated that this place was very dangerous.


    ��This damn place! I can��t see anything at all! How to search for treasures?��


    ��Damn it! I can only see several dozen feet away!��


    ��This place is too peculiar. Everyone, follow closer.��


    ��


    Inside the fog, those children of destiny were all depressed to the extreme.


    Their eyesights were not as good as Ye Yuan, so they could only see several dozen feet away.


    For a True God Realm powerhouse, this was no different from being a blind person.


    This feeling made them very depressed.


    Ye Yuan discovered that after entering the fog, the various teams became much more scattered. It was not not like the group of battalions previously.


    Everyone also knew that while this place was dangerous. There would probably be quite a lot of good stuff.


    However, Song Yu and Zuo Mo��s two squads chose the same direction as Ye Yuan without prior agreement.


    Of course, they actually completely did not know that Ye Yuan was not far from them.


    ��Mn? No, wait!��


    Having just turned around, Ye Yuan suddenly felt that something was amiss. Turning his head around again, he looked toward Song Yu��s squad.


    With this look, he could not help shuddering with fear.


    They entered from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. There were a total of nine people.


    Excluding him and those two who died, there should still be six people remaining.


    But why were there seven people in the team currently?


    The people that came together, Ye Yuan had an impression of them.


    Sweeping a glance over, Ye Yuan discovered that there was something wrong with the last person.


    He followed closely behind the last person before him, just like a specter.


    About that last person, Ye Yuan had an impression. He was called Qian Feng, a peak First Firmament True God powerhouse.


    But right at this time, that specter-like person��s fierce eyes actually looked over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan felt shocked. This guy could discover him.


    Could it be that this mist was useless against him?


    ��Qian Feng, careful behind you!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan immediately warned Qian Feng loudly.


    At the same time, his figure shot out explosively, moving toward that specter behind Qian Feng.


    They came out from the same great imperial capital after all. Ye Yuan did not wish to see something happen to Extreme Luck��s people.


    When Song Yu��s squad heard Ye Yuan��s yell, each and every one of them was baffled. But they all instinctively turned to look at Qian Feng.


    Qian Feng himself was also stunned, having a baffled look on his face.


    He instinctively wanted to turn around, but already did not have the chance.


    He felt a stabbing pain behind his neck. Then, his entire person shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    When Song Yu and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of their pupils constricted.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan arrived. The Stellar War Banner swept out without the slightest hesitation.


    Bang!


    However, that figure was faster than him. With a whoosh, it dove into the fog, disappearing.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    ��ARGHH!!��


    ��ARGHH!!��


    ��


    At the same time, a series of miserable screams sounded out inside the fog, giving people a hair-raising feeling.

 Chapter 1973 - Changing Commander

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    When Ye Yuan rushed over, Qian Feng was already sucked dry.


    And all this happened in just an instant.


    Song Yu and the rest looked at Qian Feng��s corpse. All of their faces were deathly pale.


    If that ghostly thing was following behind them, and if Ye Yuan did not discover it in time, the consequences were too dreadful to contemplate.


    This speed of sucking blood was too fast. They actually could not react at all.


    Furthermore, this guy followed by their side for so long, and yet they actually did not notice it at all.


    It was just that, how did Ye Yuan discover it?


    They did not see Ye Yuan at all just now and Ye Yuan could actually discover the ghostly thing following behind them.


    How did this guy do it?


    Everyone was anxious and doubtful, looking at Ye Yuan with a flustered face.


    ��Ye Yuan, did you see clearly what that thing was?�� Song Yu��s complexion was somewhat pale as he asked.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I couldn��t see clearly. I only saw a green shadow. Its speed is too fast!��


    After saying this, he inspected Qian Feng��s dead body and discovered that behind his neck, there was a very fine puncture, like it was poked by a needle.


    As for others, there were no other wounds.


    Currently, the other teams also encountered similar situations, all having someone being sucked dry.


    Some teams even had several dead already before it was discovered.


    But until now, no one saw what that was at all.


    For some time, everyone felt imperiled.


    Suddenly, Guo Jingyang said to Ye Yuan, ��Y-Ye Yuan, why don��t �� you join our team?��


    ��Ye Yuan, previously, it was all our fault. But everyone came from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. I hope that looking on the account of being from the same hometown, you don��t leave us in the lurch!�� Ma Chang also said with a terrified look.


    They had long seen through that Ye Yuan was absolutely not as simple as he looked on the surface.


    Along the way, many problems were already demonstrated.


    He possessed two empyrean spirit treasures on him and could rival four great Third Firmament True God powerhouses. His defensive power was virtually without any weakness to exploit.


    Now, that green entity, which others all could not see, Ye Yuan was the first to discover it and saw it.


    If not for Ye Yuan discovering it, when that green monster continued sucking one by one, it was likely that they would not realize it.


    Seeking sanctuary with Ye Yuan was the wisest path currently.


    With these two people taking the lead, the remaining three people, including Liu Yi, also spoke up one after another, hoping for Ye Yuan to join.


    Song Yu, who was by the side, his expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He was this team��s leader. Now, he was actually overlooked by the entire team.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. This Song Yu made things difficult in every way. Actually, he did not want to join a team.


    But in the end, everyone came from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital. If they all died here, he indeed could not justify it.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could feel that inside this fog was indeed full of danger. If they grouped up together, it would be relatively safer.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help looking toward Song Yu.


    Song Yu��s expression was like a chameleon currently, changing non-stop.


    ��Brother Song, you also saw the situation earlier. If Ye Yuan can join us, we��ll be akin to adding wings to a tiger! This Ancient God Battlefield is much more dangerous than we imagine. An additional person is also an additional portion of strength, isn��t it?�� Guo Jingyang urged.


    Song Yu knew that if he still did not agree, these people would probably be leaving with Ye Yuan.


    At that time, he would become a loner.


    ��Heh, even if I agree, will he be willing to agree?�� Song Yu said with a cold smile.


    Him saying these words was equivalent to giving himself an out.


    As long as Ye Yuan loosened his mouth, this matter would be considered a done deal.


    Seeing Song Yu��s appearance of wanting face even in death, Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, I don��t plan on joining Brother Song��s team. Moreover, right from the beginning, Brother Song also didn��t plan on bringing me, isn��t that so?��


    Finished saying, he turned around and left.


    You want face?


    Why should I give you face!


    Song Yu��s face turned to the color of pig liver.


    Seeing that everyone��s faces were unfriendly, Song Yu hurriedly shouted, ��Brother Ye, wait! P-Please join our team. After all, everybody came from the same place. The matter previously, it was all my fault! Brother Ye, please don��t mind it.��


    This was considered an apology.


    Song Yu practically used all the strength in his body to say out this sentence.


    When had he, Song Yu, admitted his mistake to others before?


    But right now, he was riding on a tiger��s back and found it hard to dismount. Not apologizing would not do either.


    In this present situation, he did not have any confidence in himself.


    Ye Yuan gave Song Yu a glance and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Want me to join, also can. But this method of dividing treasures will have to change.��


    Song Yu��s face changed, but he became depressed very quickly and said, ��How does Brother Ye want to change it?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Whoever puts in more effort, gets more treasures.��


    When the rest heard it, they were overjoyed in their hearts.


    This method of distribution was clearly much fairer.


    Song Yu nodded his head and said, ��I have no objections.��


    At this time, it was also no longer his turn to object.


    Settling the storm, everyone continued advancing.


    Along the way, everyone finally knew Ye Yuan��s prowess.


    Each one of them managed to get quite a few treasures!


    At times, the treasure was clearly very far from them, but Ye Yuan saw it with one glance.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan could see much further than them.


    Recalling when in the battle spirits army, they did not even pick up a strand of hair. This treatment was simply a world of difference.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s distribution was also very fair; practically everyone got a share.


    The treasures that their squad obtained were several times those of other teams!


    The intestines of these people were currently green with regret. If they had long followed Ye Yuan, how great would that be?


    Furthermore, they discovered that screams would frequently sound out inside this fog, indicating that the other teams were still continuing to be attacked.


    Only their team was without incident all the way.


    That damn green thing never came to find them again.


    ��Heh, Brother Ye is indeed well-deserving of having an emperor surmounting aura! Not even those monsters dare to come close to us!��


    ��Yeah. Previously, it was all us who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, to actually look down on Brother Ye.��


    ��


    In the current situation, each and every one of them was very satisfied, and also did not stint with their praises toward Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan was not as optimistic as them.


    The calmer it was, the more intense the uneasiness in his heart.


    ��Everybody, be more careful, this fog is full of perils. There absolutely won��t be just this bit of danger,�� Ye Yuan warned them.


    As if in order to affirm his words, several black things suddenly shot toward them, the speed swift to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan was naturally the first to discover the problem, his face could not help changing as he cried out in surprise, ��Everybody, be careful! Brother Song!��


    ��Got it!�� Song Yu answered in a solemn voice.


    In the team, the two people��s strengths were the strongest, and naturally blocked at the forefront, and the rest supported through coordinated actions. This was also the best way of fighting that they discussed beforehand.


    Seven to eight afterimages arrived with a howl, Ye Yuan utilized the Stellar War Banner without the slightest hesitation.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Those seven to eight afterimages were directly sent flying under Ye Yuan and Song Yu��s attacks.


    However, they had yet to have time to be happy yet when those black shadows charged forward once more as if they were not affected at all.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he said, ��Such powerful defense! Everybody be careful!��

 Chapter 1974 - Black Corpse and Green Corpse

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan and the rest unleashed all of their means, bombarding that cluster of black entities indiscriminately.


    But those black entities did not get the least bit of wound.


    This time, Ye Yuan saw clearly. This cluster of black entities looked like a group of black apes, black hair growing all over their bodies, with their mouths revealing sharp tusks.


    They were neither human nor ghost, being hideously horrifying.


    Furthermore, the defensive power of these guys was extremely formidable. Just now, he utilized the Stellar War Banner, and it actually did not leave behind any marks on their bodies.


    ��B-Black corpse!�� Song Yu looked at that group of black things, his complexion deathly pale as he said.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Black corpse? What��s that?��


    Song Yu��s expression was ugly as he said, ��After martial artists die, their corpses will undergo all sorts of unusual changes under some special environments. This kind of black corpse is the hardest to tangle with. Its defensive power is extremely fearsome. It is akin to a wall of bronze or iron, being impervious to swords and spears, as well as virtually immune to divine essence attacks!��


    Ye Yuan only came to a realization after he heard that.


    These black corpses were also around Second Firmament True God Realm, but their defensive power could virtually rival him.


    Encountering this sort of thing was indeed very troublesome.


    Furthermore, the speed of this thing was extremely fast; unable to shake off at all.


    A hint of a smile suddenly flashed across Ye Yuan��s face.


    Competing on the physical body?


    Huhu!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan put away the Stellar War Banner and said to Song Yu, ��You protect them, leave these guys to me.��


    Song Yu was stunned and said, ��Leave them to you?��


    He knew that Ye Yuan cultivated the body and martial arts concurrently. But Ye Yuan��s fleshy body power was also merely comparable to First Firmament True God. So how was he to fight with so many black corpses?


    Just as Song Yu was in a daze, Ye Yuan already shot out like an arrow that left the bow.


    Bang!


    It was only to hear a dragon roar sound out. A black corpse in front of him was blasted until it flew straight out backward.


    ��Awoo!��


    The black corpse let out a shrill scream, extremely ear-piercing in this fog.


    Song Yu and everyone��s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in great astonishment.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s fists were unleashed like the wind, each punch hitting the flesh, unfolding a fierce close quarter fight with seven to eight black corpses.


    From time to time, those black corpses emitted shrill screams, making people shudder with fear.


    Inside the fog, Extreme Luck��s people were long already dumbfounded with amazement looking at the blurry shadows.


    ��How �� How can his fleshy body actually be so fearsome?�� Guo Jingyang said.


    ��Yeah, his fleshy body is clearly only comparable to a First Firmament True God, but this combat power is actually able to thrash those Second Firmament True God black corpses! No wonder when he was among the battle spirit army, those battle spirits could not get close to him at all,�� Ma Chang also said in surprise.


    This fleshy body strength already completely exceeded their imaginations.


    On combat power and defensive power, Ye Yuan far surpassed same rank powerhouses, and he was even a magnitude stronger compared to a Second Firmament True God.


    They reckoned that even if Ye Yuan did not borrow the power of empyrean spirit treasures, violently thrashing Second Firmament True Gods was also nothing difficult.


    In the crowd, Liu Yi��s gaze suddenly turned intent. As if recalling something, he cried out in surprise, ��It��s the perfect sixth transformation golden body! Ye Yuan must have cultivated the perfect sixth transformation golden body!��


    ��What?! Perfect sixth transformation golden body? This �� How is this possible?�� Song Yu cried out in surprise.


    Everyone knew how difficult cultivating the perfect sixth transformation golden body was, and how dangerous it was.


    This sort of thing was practically impossible to happen.


    However, apart from the perfect sixth transformation golden body, they could not find any reason to explain everything before their eyes.


    Ye Yuan fighting one-versus-eight, actually beat until these black corpses wailed in pain.


    This combat power was simply off the charts.


    However, just as everyone was in shock, they did not detect that danger was already quietly closing in.


    Ever since Ye Yuan reached the grand completion of Dao Realm, his divine soul was much stronger than those in the same rank.


    Suddenly, he had a foreboding feeling well up in his heart, and he could not help yelling loudly, ��Careful, there��s danger!��


    When Song Yu and the rest heard that, they could not help being startled inwardly, immediately going on alert. But it was already too late.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Eight green shadows arrived in front of them like ghosts.


    Song Yu��s expression changed drastically. There was no time to think much. He suddenly hacked out more than a hundred streaks of sword lights.


    But the speed of each of those green shadows was too fast, he was actually unable to lock on.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    There were three green shadows who were directly bombarded flying away.


    But there were still five green shadows that rushed into the squad.


    The other few people also each used their means, wanting to resist.


    But their strength was ultimately much worse off compared to Song Yu.


    ��Ahh! Save me!��


    A scream came over. One of the people was directly hauled away by the five green shadows, having no time to even resist.


    ��Explode for me!��


    Right at this time, a roar suddenly came over. The power of stars suddenly unleashed, and it actually reached first despite launching later!


    Those five green shadows were directly blown up by Ye Yuan��s Stellar War Banner.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan had already finished off those eight black corpses and arrived in the nick of time to save people.


    ��So stinky!��


    All of a sudden, a fishy stench came over. Those green monsters that were blown apart had green juices flowing all over the ground.


    Ye Yuan held his breathing and asked, ��Hu Fei, are you alright?��


    The current Hu Fei was still suffering from the shock. Only after hearing Ye Yuan��s words did he suddenly startle awake. Shaking his head, he said, ��I-I��m fine, thank you, Ye Yuan!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Since all of us are companions, there is no need to be too courteous. These monsters come and go like shadows inside the fog. It��s impossible to guard against them entirely. Everybody, be more careful.��


    Song Yu similarly had not recovered from the shock yet. Just now, the speed of those green monsters, each one was too fast. If not for his strength being above the average person, he would likely have been hit already too.


    Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said, ��I got it! Ye Yuan, these are green corpses!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Green corpses?��


    Song Yu nodded and said, ��Green corpses are also a kind of corpse variant. What it likes the most is to suck human blood. These green corpses�� whereabouts are strange, making us unable to guess. It can even transform into a human form. But its greatest weakness is that its defensive power is very weak. The one who sucked Qian Feng��s blood dry previously was likely a green corpse!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Black corpse then green corpse, this place really has strange things of every variety!��


    Song Yu��s expression suddenly changed, and he said, ��Not good! The blood of green corpses is poisonous! Hu Fei he ����


    When everyone heard that, their faces all changed, looking over at Hu Fei.


    ��Hu Fei, you ���� Guo Jingyang cried out in shock.


    Hu Fei was also stunned and asked doubtfully, ��W-What��s wrong with me?��


    His face already started rotting, becoming incomparably hideous. But he seemed to be completely clueless.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he roared loudly, ��Hu Fei, open your mouth!��


    At this point, Ye Yuan already quietly replaced Song Yu��s position, becoming everyone��s backbone.


    In his one sentence, Hu Fei instinctively opened his mouth.


    Whoosh!


    A medicinal pill flew straight into his mouth, melting the moment it entered his mouth!


    Then, everyone saw that the places that were rotting on his face and body were actually recovering frenziedly.


    One side was rotting, one side was recovering.


    Two overbearing forces crossed swords fiercely inside Hu Fei��s body.


    Hu Fei screamed miserably. He fell to the ground, and he started rolling about in agony.

 Chapter 1975 - Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    A heart-wrenching yell made everyone feel palpitations.


    This kind of yelling persisted all the way for close to an hour.


    All the way until the end, Hu Fei was already exhausted and could not even make a sound.


    ��Cured! It��s actually cured! I heard that the poison of a green corpse is completely incurable! But now he��s actually cured!�� Song Yu cried out in surprise.


    Although Hu Fei already had no strength, the rotting flesh on his body was currently recovering.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill won against the green corpse��s poison.


    Everyone looked at this scene with astonished faces, full of disbelief.


    In that sort of situation just now, it was obvious that the green corpse��s poison was extremely strong. Even if there was medicine, it would be very difficult to treat too.


    But Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill actually forcefully dragged Hu Fei back from the palace of hell.


    ��Brother Ye is well-deserving of being hailed as a master. Such means is simply inconceivable!�� Guo Jingyang exclaimed with admiration.


    ��This is truly superb medical skills that can revive the dead! Brother Ye��s means, I��ve had a taste of it,�� Ma Chang praised sincerely.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I also didn��t know whether this Nourish Clear Pill was useful or not. Under that kind of situation just now, I could only give it a shot.��


    When Song Yu heard that, his pupils could not help constricting as he said, ��What? Nourish Clear Pill? This �� This is just the Nourish Clear Pill?��


    Not just him, everyone was filled with shock.


    The Nourish Clear Pill was just the most common rank six detoxification pill. Its refining difficulty was just level one. In terms of medicinal effect, it was unbelievably weak.


    They all thought that what Ye Yuan fed Hu Fei was some miracle elixir, but who knew that it was just the most common street-ware, the Nourish Clear Pill!


    For the Nourish Clear Pill to be able to have such terrifying medicinal effects, what grade did that have to be?


    Purple spirit divine-grade?


    Void spirit divine-grade?


    As for vast spirit divine-grade, they did not even dare to think about it.


    They had never seen before a rank six vast spirit divine pill.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The spirit medicines of Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s Myriad Treasure Tower are limited. They don��t even have some precious spirit medicines, so there��s no way to refine some detoxification pills with good effects. I can only use the Nourish Clear Pill to make do with it.��


    Ye Yuan did not understand their astonishment. The Nourish Clear Pill was truly too easy for him.


    He casually refined and it was peak vast spirit.


    Except, Song Yu and the rest exchanged glances, and they were immediately rendered speechless.


    This kind of accomplishment was also a little too frightening, right?


    Just the Nourish Clear Pill had such terrifying effects; then if let him refine some high-level medicinal pills, how dreadful would it be?


    Right at this time, Hu Fei slowly woke up.


    ��I �� I��m not dead yet?�� Hu Fei said somewhat dazedly.


    ��Hu Fei, you have to thank Brother Ye properly. If not for his medicinal pills, you��d probably already be a pile of white bones now,�� Guo Jingyang said.


    Hu Fei suddenly recalled Ye Yuan��s yell, making him open his mouth. He hurriedly bowed to Ye Yuan and said, ��Many thanks, Brother Ye. This kindness, this Hu will never forget for life. Brother Ye is a true gentleman, repaying ingratitude with kindness, this Hu is ashamed.��


    Those who ridiculed Ye Yuan previously, Hu Fei was naturally one of them too.


    But now, he was filled with regret.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No need to be courteous. It��s just a matter of lifting a finger. Let��s continue moving forward.��


    ��


    After traveling for more than half a month, they did not encounter any more danger.


    Now, even Song Yu did not have any temper toward Ye Yuan too.


    As for the others, they had long already regarded Ye Yuan as the backbone.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure stopped.


    Song Yu raised his brows and asked, ��Brother Ye, are there any discoveries?��


    They all knew now that Ye Yuan��s visual prowess was much stronger than theirs. He could always discover some things that they could not discover.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with a smile, ��I didn��t expect to actually be able to see the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit in this place!��


    ��Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit!�� Song Yu��s pupils constricted as he cried out in surprise.


    ��It��s actually the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit. That thing, as long as you swallow one, it will match up to a thousand years of bitter cultivation!�� Guo Jingyang said with a look of excitement.


    The others were extremely excited. A Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit was sufficient to let them break through one or even two minor realms. How could they not be agitated?


    ��Brother Ye, how many of this Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit are there?�� Song Yu asked rather nervously.


    If there was only one, then he would have rejoiced too soon.


    This spirit fruit could only be owned by Ye Yuan alone.


    This kind of heaven and earth spirit fruit did not enter the ranks. It was even more useful than a hundred medicinal pills. Its value simply could not be measured using divine essence stones.


    Two small realms of True God Realm, if really cultivating according to the normal routine, under the circumstances of swallowing a medicinal pill, there was absolutely no chance without a thousand years.


    With the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit, it was equivalent to saving a thousand years of bitter cultivation!


    Ye Yuan said, ��Three! Discuss the matter of distribution later. There��s a black corpse guarding beside the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits! This black corpse isn��t simple, I��ll go and lure it away. Song Yu you bring them to harvest it!��


    Song Yu��s face was full of excitement. If there were three, he could definitely get one.


    This way, him breaking through to the Fourth Firmament True God Realm would virtually be a sure bet.


    ��Okay, you be careful!�� Song Yu said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and slowly headed over there.


    The black corpse had clearly discovered Ye Yuan too. But it did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he used a pair of black hole-like eyes, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, and he said in surprise, ��This black corpse seems to have already given birth to a trace of spiritual wisdom. This is truly inconceivable. Looks like it��s the effect of this Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit.��


    He approached the black corpse unhurriedly just like that. The aura on that black corpse��s body grew stronger and stronger; its entire being was accumulating momentum, awaiting release, just like a startled tiger.


    Finally, when Ye Yuan walked closer and reached 100 feet in front of him, the black corpse could not endure it anymore, suddenly attacking Ye Yuan.


    Bang!


    A fierce clash, Ye Yuan and the black corpse each retreated more than ten steps.


    Evenly-matched in strength!


    But, even if Ye Yuan had the Qinghong Battle Armor protecting, his innards were already in an upheaval state now.


    Peak initial-stage rank six!


    Ye Yuan was alarmed in his heart, finally knowing this black corpse��s strength.


    He previously already felt that this black corpse was not simple. Now, after exchanging blows, it was indeed the case.


    The power of one��s fleshy body was the integration of Heavenly Dao laws into the flesh and blood. The naked eye could not perceive it.


    Only when using vital energy, erupting with power, could one see through the actual situation.


    A peak initial-stage rank six was equivalent to a Third Firmament True God.


    It was just that this black corpse��s fleshy body power was clearly much stronger than a Third Firmament True God.


    While Ye Yuan had merely just entered the sixth transformation.


    By relying on the perfect sixth transformation golden body, Ye Yuan��s strength was comparable to Second Firmament True Gods.


    Coupled with the Qinghong Battle Armor, Ye Yuan��s defensive power approached Third Firmament True God.


    But matching up with this black corpse, Ye Yuan could not gain the slightest bit of advantage.


    However, Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the least bit, directly launching a second round of attacks!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Clashing three punches in a row, Ye Yuan finally could not resist spurting out a mouthful of blood.


    When that black corpse saw the situation, he pounced over toward Ye Yuan fiercely.


    His intellect was limited in the end, and he was wary of Ye Yuan previously.


    Now, discovering that Ye Yuan was not a match, he immediately chased after.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, turning tail and running!


    ��Song Yu!��


    ��Got it!��


    Song Yu was long prepared, rushing at the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit like an arrow that left the bow at this time.


    The other few people followed closely behind and also pounced toward the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits.


    However, just as they were about to touch the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits, an abnormality suddenly occurred!

 Chapter 1976 - Liu Yi’s Means

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Immobilize!��


    A voice suddenly sounded out, Song Yu four people��s figures were actually forcibly immobilized in midair just like that!


    Yes, only four people.


    Because there was one other person who was still moving.


    Liu Yi!


    It was only to see a yellow talisman in his hand turn into a myriad of fine threads, dissipating into the wind.


    ��Heh, one Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman exchanging for three Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits; it really is worth it!�� Liu Yi looked at those three Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits greedily, an excited look on his face.


    With these three Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits, he would be able to break through to the middle-stage True God Realm within a very short time.


    How could this sort of good thing be shared with others?


    The pupils of Song Yu and the rest constricted. None of them would have thought that the Liu Yi who was always wretched and low-profile would actually rise in revolt at this time.


    And the moment he took action, it was earth-shaking.


    They currently only felt that their bodies were bound by countless profound power of laws, unable to break free at all.


    ��Liu Yi, you �� you actually dared to scheme against your own companions?�� Song Yu said in a great rage.


    ��If you dare to touch the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits, Ye Yuan won��t let you off!�� Guo Jingyang similarly said with a look of sullen anger.


    In this team, the one that they looked down on the most was Liu Yi.


    Along the way, Liu Yi was extremely low-profile, causing his sense of existence extremely low.


    But it was such a person who actually remained hidden with tricks up his sleeves.


    At this time, the wretched expression on Liu Yi��s face was swept clean. The indescribable sharpness in his gaze made people stunned.


    At this moment, they all understood that turns out this fellow was simply playing a pig to eat a tiger!


    ��Heh heh, I even used the Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman. So do you think I dare to touch the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit or not? Not only am I going to touch the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits, but I��m also even going to �� heh heh.��


    Talking up to here, Liu Yi��s gaze turned cold, revealing a fierce killing intent.


    He was actually going to kill off all witnesses!


    The Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman was coincidentally obtained by Liu Yi inside an Empyrean��s ruins. There were a total of five.


    This thing was incomparably profound and mysterious. Forget about Third Firmament True Gods, even Fourth Firmament True Gods also had to stop for several breaths of time.


    And these several breaths of time was sufficient for him to kill his opponent.


    In the past, in order to snatch good stuff, he already used two. This was the third.


    And this Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman was his, Liu Yi��s, greatest reliance.


    It was also by relying on precisely this Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman that his destiny soared all the way up, breaking through to become an imperial aura, having the qualifications to enter this Ancient God Battlefield.


    Playing a pig to eat a tiger had always been his style.


    Each time they teamed up to enter mystic realms, he would be like this, often rising in revolt at the critical moment.


    Furthermore, as long as he succeeded, he would eradicate all of his teammates. He was incomparably vicious!


    The expressions of Song Yu and the rest changed drastically. Song Yu desperately wanted to break free of that power of law constraint, but he could not break free at all.


    The space around him seemed to have been solidified, while he was experiencing as if he was being welded into concrete. He was unable to even move a muscle.


    Liu Yi put away the three Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits and said with a laugh, ��Heh heh, stop wasting your energy. With your strength, you can��t move at all within a hundred breaths! Now, this old man will send you all on your way.��


    ��Liu Yi, you dare?! Ye Yuan definitely won��t let you off!�� Song Yu roared.


    He was genuinely afraid. He did not expect that he would actually succumb here.


    Liu Yi chuckled and said, ��If Ye Yuan didn��t leave, I really wouldn��t have dared to take action. That kid is too wily. I can��t grasp him at all. But now, I have to thank that black corpse.��


    In this team, the only one that Liu Yi was apprehensive of was Ye Yuan.


    The secrets on Ye Yuan were too many; his means were also far too many.


    Walking along the way, Liu Yi had always been observing Ye Yuan.


    But the more he observed, the warier he got.


    Liu Yi also understood that Ye Yuan was also constantly guarding against him.


    Hence, he had always been very low-profile, not daring to overstep in front of Ye Yuan.


    Liu Yi��s gaze turned cold, a small and exquisite ax appeared in his hand. It was shockingly an empyrean spirit treasure!


    Song Yu few people��s eyeballs were almost popping out. This Liu Yi actually had an empyrean spirit treasure too!


    ��Heh, are you very surprised? In the past, I obtained an Empyrean��s complete legacy, empyrean spirit treasure, Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman, and cultivation method. It was all derived from that Empyrean. Do you all think that only you��re proud sons of heaven? Laughable!��


    Toward Song Yu, these few flowers that grew up in a greenhouse, Liu Yi was full of disdain.


    He had today by relying on his own abilities, walking over step by step.


    But Song Yu they all?


    These young masters who had golden spoons in their mouths while growing up enjoyed the best cultivation resources since young.


    Liu Yi suddenly raised the ax and hacked down toward Song Yu.


    But right at this moment, a powerful aura drew close from afar, the speed extremely fast.


    Liu Yi��s face changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Consider yourselves lucky!��


    Finished talking, his figure moved, diving into the fog, disappearing.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was extremely fast, arriving nearby in a blink of an eye.


    Seeing everyone��s state as well as the Liu Yi who disappeared, Ye Yuan instantly understood.


    ��Ye Yuan, Liu Yi he ���� Song Yu said remorsefully and angrily.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said with a sigh, ��I��ve been constantly guarding against Liu Yi, but I didn��t expect that this black corpse was so troublesome, so I was a little late in coming back here.��


    Song Yu was struck with terror, only then knowing that Ye Yuan had long noticed Liu Yi.


    It was only the few of them that brought along Liu Yi foolishly and even counted money for people after being sold.


    ��Since you knew, why did you still bring him along?�� Song Yu asked puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan said, ��This Liu Yi, I couldn��t see through him and was afraid that he��ll do something in his desperation. So I��ve never exposed him. But I already warned him when inside the circle. I didn��t expect that he actually really dared to make a move!��


    Right at this time, Song Yu felt that the power of laws around him loosen up. He pulled hard, those law threads directly crumbled apart.


    ��It turned out that this guy obtained before an Empyrean powerhouse��s complete inheritance. He used the Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman and immobilized all of us,�� Song Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan was surprised as he said, ��I didn��t expect that he actually still had such means. I really underestimated him.��


    Ye Yuan daring to leave was only because he originally also felt that Song Yu could contain Liu Yi.


    After all, not everyone was like him, able to cross two realms to battle.


    But clearly, Ye Yuan underestimated Liu Yi.


    With this Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman, it would likely be hard for even middle-stage True Gods to escape his murderous scheme.


    Song Yu suddenly recalled something and asked Ye Yuan, ��Oh, right! What about that black corpse?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Driven away by me, it shouldn��t dare to return for the time being.��


    Song Yu was taken aback and said, ��D-Driven away?��


    That was an existence whose fleshy body rivaled peak initial-stage sixth transformation golden body; it was actually driven away by Ye Yuan?


    It seemed like Ye Yuan��s means were even more formidable than he imagined!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Because I felt that there was a hint of strange undulation here, so I employed some means. This black corpse is indeed formidable. It��s still beyond my power to want to kill him!��


    Kill ��


    Song Yu was immediately rendered speechless.


    If it were him, he would have long ran until he disappeared, Ye Yuan actually still wanted to kill that black corpse.

 Chapter 1977 - Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill

    ��Sigh, like drawing water with a sieve; all these were in vain! That damn Liu Yi, the next time I see him, I��ll definitely show him some colors!�� Song Yu said with a depressed look.


    The Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit was an extremely rare heaven and earth spirit fruit. It could save a lot of cultivation time. This was too important to martial artists.


    The others also had resentful faces, clearly all being extremely aggrieved.


    ��Sigh, he better be careful; don��t let me run into him again!�� Guo Jingyang said.


    Everyone turned around and prepared to leave, but Ye Yuan suddenly said, ��Hold on.��


    ��Mn? Brother Ye, do you still have something?�� Song Yu asked puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but walked to the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit��s plant, bent down, and carefully pried aside the dirt, revealing the root portion.


    Everyone was very perplexed, not knowing what Ye Yuan was planning to do here.


    Ye Yuan cleaned the dirt on the root and pulled out the root without damaging it, saying with a smile, ��Although the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit is gone, this tree root is also good stuff.��


    ��Tree root? What use does the tree root have?�� Song Yu asked doubtfully.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Because the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit is too heaven-defying, it��s totally unable to integrate with other spirit medicines to form medicinal pills. But the Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill��s tree roots is the core ingredient to refine the Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill. Although the effects of the Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill can��t compare to the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit, it can also let the person who consumes it have a great improvement in strength.��


    When the four people heard it, they all had looks of wild elation.


    Ye Yuan was a master-level alchemist, him saying this sort of words, that naturally meant that there was some assurance.


    ��There��s actually still Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill this sort of thing! That��s really great!�� Ma Chang said in pleasant surprise.


    However, Song Yu��s brows suddenly furrowed and he said, ��But where to gather the other spirit medicines in this sort of place?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I just happen to have the other spirit medicines on me. I��m only lacking this core ingredient. Now, it can be refined.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan immediately took out the Xuanlong Cauldron. One spirit medicine after another emerged and was sent into the medicinal cauldron by Ye Yuan.


    When Song Yu and the rest saw this scene, they could not help being shocked inwardly.


    Why would Ye Yuan bring along so many spirit medicines on him?


    Could it be that he had foreseeing abilities and knew that he could run into the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit this time?


    One had to know, rank six spirit medicines were not street-side cabbages. Even if one was a Six-star Alchemy God who had already been famous for a long time, it was also impossible to bring so many spirit medicines out on their person.


    Song Yu and the rest were all people with vast experiences and knowledge. They knew that these supplementary medicines were all some very precious spirit medicines.


    They did not know that Ye Yuan was the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder. These spirit medicines were nothing to him.


    Fortunately, the other core medicines and supplementary medicines that the Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill required were all not very rare. Ye Yuan could just easily gather them and bring all of them along with him.


    Currently, Ye Yuan not only had Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s inheritance, he even had the Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s powerful inheritance.


    Regarding some obscure pill formulas, he grasped a lot of them.


    This Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill was one of them.


    With him refining pills on the spot, a profound and inscrutable power of law revolved around the medicinal cauldron and spread out.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan was an alchemy master, but observing Ye Yuan refining pills in close distance still shocked these proud sons of heaven.


    Their family clans and great imperial capitals did not lack Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    But the Six-star Alchemy Gods that they had seen were simply not even fit to carry his shoes when put in front of Ye Yuan!


    This kind of disparity, even if they were laymen, they could also feel it distinctly.


    A medicinal fragrance that gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind spread out, Song Yu and the rest could not suppress the wild elation in their hearts.


    The Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill was formed!


    ��Brother Song, this is yours.��


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, the medicinal pill flew straight for Song Yu.


    Song Yu received the medicinal pill and took a look, and he could not help sucking in a cold breath as he said, ��T-T-This �� vast spirit divine pill!��


    He finally knew now the reason why Ye Yuan would be held in esteem by the entire Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital with a mere First Firmament True God��s cultivation.


    This kind of pill refining skill was simply inconceivable!


    When Guo Jingyang and the rest heard ��vast spirit divine pill��, four words, each and every one of them were shocked speechless.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said to the others, ��You all stand guard over Brother Song, I��ll continue refining pills.��


    There were many Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit��s root hairs. It was sufficient to refine five to six people��s share of Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill. Those that were there naturally had a share.


    After several hours, Guo Jingyang three people each received a Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill and were agitated until their faces flushed red.


    People should not look at how each and every one of them was children of destiny, proud sons of heaven. Concerning this vast spirit divine pill, it was still their first time taking it in all their years of living.


    Furthermore, it was even such a heaven-defying Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill!


    Right at this time, Song Yu��s aura suddenly changed and actually broke right through the bottleneck of Fourth Firmament True God.


    When the three people saw this scene, their faces revealed wild joy.


    Originally, Song Yu was only an initial-stage Third Firmament True God. Just by consuming a medicinal pill, he actually broke right through to become a Fourth Firmament True God.


    This medicinal pill was heaven-defying!


    ��Incredible! Incredible! This Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill��s effect is not too off compared to the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit too!�� Hu Fei exclaimed with admiration.


    ��Brother Ye, I, Guo Jingyang, have never admired anyone before in this life. Today, I��m really prostrating on all fours in admiration of you!�� Guo Jingyang praised with admiration.


    At this time, with Song Yu breaking through successfully, his face did not conceal the look of wild joy in the slightest.


    He really did not think that this Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill could actually directly let him break through to be a Fourth Firmament True God!


    The gap of one minor True God Realm boundary was massive. It was already very impressive for ordinary medicinal pills to be able to make up for one-thousandth of the cultivation time.


    But this Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill actually directly let him cross the large bottleneck of initial-stage True God Realm and middle-stage. So how could this not make him pleasantly surprised?


    He bowed all the way down toward Ye Yuan and said sincerely, ��Brother Ye, the incident previously was all I, Song Yu, being a scoundrel. I hope that you don��t take it to heart. From today onward, you and I are sworn brothers in life and death!��


    He really felt regret for the incident before now.


    If it were others, even if they pocketed the whole of these Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits�� plant, they would also have no temper.


    But Ye Yuan actually contributed his own spirit medicines and helped them to refine such a heaven-defying Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill.


    Repaying ingratitude with kindness, how could he not be moved in his heart?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, Brother Song doesn��t have to be courteous. Didn��t everyone already say that we��re brothers long ago?��


    The words made everyone extremely moved.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan shared treasures, saved Hu Fei, resisting powerful adversaries, and had long already become their backbone.


    At this point, they already took Ye Yuan to genuinely be a sworn brother in life and death.


    Following this, with Song Yu and Ye Yuan standing guard, the others each refined the medicinal pills to break through.


    This Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill��s effect was extremely heaven-defying.


    Hu Fei��s strength was the weakest, being only at the initial-stage Second Firmament True God Realm.


    After consuming the medicinal pill, he broke right through to become a late-stage Third Firmament True God, directly crossing more than a minor realm.


    As for Guo Jingyang and Ma Chang two people, they broke right through to be peak Third Firmament True Gods.


    Furthermore, they could feel that the Fourth Firmament True God Realm was already not far away.


    Finally, it was Ye Yuan��s turn to refine the medicinal pills.


    The other four people each had a medicinal pill, Ye Yuan still had two Profound Heaven Single Breath Pills on him.


    Ye Yuan directly swallowed both medicinal pills without the slightest hesitation.

 Chapter 1978 - The Remains of an Empyrean

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Terrific fellow! Brother Ye swallowing two medicinal pills in one go, isn��t he scared of being stuffed to the point of bursting?�� Guo Jingyang said in surprise.


    ��Heh, Brother Ye is truly an eccentric. He��s different from others from head to toe. Relax, he��s not a fool either. So how could he possibly commit suicide? But for him to be able to digest two Profound Heaven Single Breath Pills, his cultivation method likely far surpasses ours!�� Song Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    ��We consumed a Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill and directly broke through a minor realm. Brother Ye directly ate two, he can likely soar straight to be a Third Firmament True God, right?�� Hu Fei said.


    When the others heard it, they had looks of approval.


    This medicinal pill��s medicinal effect was so good. With Ye Yuan��s talent, breaking through two minor realms shouldn��t be anything difficult.


    But, Ye Yuan did not do as they wished, directly breaking through to be a Third Firmament True God.


    It was only all the way until the end did Ye Yuan suddenly burst through the bottleneck, reaching Second Firmament True God.


    Two Profound Heaven Single Breath Pills actually only barely managed to break through to Second Firmament True God?


    ��Brother Ye, this �� What��s going on here?�� Song Yu said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The cultivation method that I cultivate is somewhat special. The spiritual energy quantity it requires is too great. These two Profound Heaven Single Breath Pills were barely able to let me break through to be a Second Firmament True God.��


    The few people exchanged glances, being extremely shocked.


    This cultivation method was a little too perverse, right?


    Ye Yuan suddenly clasped his hands at the few people and said, ��Alright, brothers, let��s part here.��


    The four people��s expressions changed. Song Yu frowned and said, ��Why like this, Brother Ye? Could it be that we did something overboard?��


    ��Yeah, Brother Ye. If you feel that the treasures we get are too much, we can take a little less.�� Guo Jingyang said without the slightest hesitation.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Everyone, no need to think too much. The place that this Ye is going next is too dangerous. This Ye might not be able to make a full retreat myself. Everyone is best not follow.��


    When the few people heard that, their expressions were strange.


    They were very clear about Ye Yuan��s strength. He currently broke through his realm and actually still did not have confidence in making a full retreat. It could be imagined how dangerous that place was.


    Hu Fei suddenly said, ��Since that��s the case, I, Hu Fei, have to go even more! My life was saved by you. Now, I also obtained your Profound Heaven Single Breath Pill. If this Hu doesn��t forge ahead because of fear, what difference is there from an animal?��


    Hu Fei��s words made the others all surprised inwardly.


    Song Yu said, ��Brother Ye, you saying this is not treating the few of us as brothers! We��ll share weal and woe together! No matter how dangerous the place you want to go is, we��ll follow you!��


    Guo Jingyang and Ma Chang also each made their stand, saying to follow Ye Yuan over.


    Ye Yuan was moved in his heart and said with a nod, ��Alright, since you��re willing to go together, then this Ye won��t be melodramatic either, let��s go together!��


    ��


    Looking at the bones that spanned all over the mountain, Song Yu��s expression changed slightly as he said, ��Brother Ye, the place that you want to come is actually the Bone Devil Ridge!��


    The Bone Devil Ridge was a rather dangerous place in the peripherals of the Ancient God Battlefield.


    The children of destiny that entered the Ancient God Battlefield in the past, as long as they stepped into the Bone Devil Ridge, barely any could come out alive.


    When the few people saw those dazzlingly white bones, they suddenly felt their hair stand on end.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This Ye owes Jian Sutao a favor. He made me enter the Ancient God Battlefield to help him retrieve an item. It��s in this Bone Devil Ridge.��


    ��Jian Sutao? City Lord? He �� Isn��t he asking for your life?�� Song Yu said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan was helpless as he said, ��This old punk is a hypocrite. I was also compelled against my will. The few of you have to think clearly. There��s still a chance to retreat now. If you really enter the Bone Devil Ridge, it will probably be too late for you guys to want to retreat.��


    Song Yu said in a solemn voice, ��Brother Ye, what are you saying here? Would I, Song Yu, be someone who clings to life and fear death?��


    Regarding Song Yu��s performance, Ye Yuan was greatly surprised.


    His impression of Song Yu previously had never been very good. He did not expect that after experiencing difficulties together, he became gutsier.


    Clearly knew that the mountain had a tiger, yet, moved towards the tiger mountain, this was not what anybody could do.


    It seemed like this guy was just used to being arrogant and imperious, but in reality, his nature was not that bad.


    ��Huhu, since that��s the case, then let��s challenge this dragon chasm and tiger den!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Upon entering the Bone Devil Ridge, Ye Yuan felt like he entered another world.


    In the depths of the Bone Devil Ridge, a powerful to the extreme undulation faintly passed out, giving him a feeling of palpitation.


    Ye Yuan thought about it, could this be the Qilin emperor bone?


    The party carefully headed towards the depths of the Bone Devil Ridge.


    Suddenly, a strong undulation came from in front.


    Song Yu said in surprise, ��There��s actually someone who beat us to it. Could it be that there��s someone who��s the same as us, also thinking about getting the Qilin emperor bone?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��It��s not impossible! Since there��s someone who brought the news to Jian Sutao, then there will naturally be people who could bring the intel to other city lords. Come, let��s go over and take a look.��


    The few people concealed their tracks and carefully scooted over.


    The line of vision gradually became clear. Ahead, seven to eight people were surrounded tightly by a group of bone devils, falling into a bitter fight.


    The Ancient God Battlefield was an enormous space. The deeper in, the stronger these lifeforms.


    The Bone Devil Ridge was already a very dangerous place in the peripherals of the Ancient God Battlefield. The strength of these bone devils actually had a few that were Fourth Firmament True God strength. The rest also had Third Firmament True God Realm.


    However, among those seven to eight people, there were actually two that were Fourth Firmament True God, giving Ye Yuan a shock.


    ��It��s Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian they all! They �� actually broke through, becoming Fourth Firmament True Gods!�� Song Yu cried out in surprise.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��They are all in possession of emperor surmounting aura. Encountering some lucky chances in this Ancient God Battlefield and breaking through to be a Fourth Firmament True God is also not strange.��


    Song Yu nodded his head but secretly sighed at his luck in his heart.


    If not for Ye Yuan, just based on his imperial aura, it would likely still be quite a bit off to want to break through to be a Fourth Firmament True God!


    In fact, with a misstep, dying at Liu Yi��s hands was also not impossible.


    Thinking up to here, Song Yu became even more grateful toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Strange, why do I feel that these bone devils seem to have gone mad?�� Hu Fei suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, discovering that it was indeed the case.


    Those bone devils all had astonishing momentum, like humans who were enraged, each move aiming for the vitals.


    The few people exchanged a glance and said in unison, ��There��s a treasure!��


    Ye Yuan observed for a while and made a hand gesture to Song Yu as he said, ��Come, we��ll circle around!��


    That group of bone devils chased Zuo Mo and his party. Clearly, they chased after all the way.


    Ye Yuan brought his own party and acted cautiously. Very soon, they saw a cave.


    Inside the swarthy black cave, several rays of dim light actually faintly seeped out.


    ��Let��s go in to check it out.��


    Ye Yuan brought everyone and entered the cave cautiously.


    Those few rays of dim light became stronger and stronger. Everyone��s hearts pounded heavily, being aware that the treasure was right in front.


    Due to Zuo Mo and the rest drawing the bone devils away, it was currently completely empty inside the cave. They did not run into any dangers.


    Suddenly, the line of sight became clear. Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent. He then said in pleasant surprise, ��This is �� the remains of an Empyrean!��

 Chapter 1979 - Whatever You Say

    Even if the Empyrean had already died for no idea how many tens of thousands of years, his remains were still radiating golden light, emitting an extremely profound energy undulation.


    This golden bone was indestructible and imperishable.


    ��What powerful energy undulations. This Empyrean was likely already approaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm when he was alive,�� Song Yu said with terror in his heart.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in approval, ��Those bone devils were likely bone under the influence of this Empyrean��s remains, and they also grew up under his Dao skandha, resulting in reaching today��s realm. Hence, Zuo Mo they all wanting to get this Empyrean��s remains resulted in driving those bone devils mad.��


    Guo Jingyang chuckled and said, ��They lured all those bone devils away, which benefited us. The Dao skandha and energy contained inside this Empyrean��s remains is sufficient to let us break through quite a few realms.��


    This Empyrean��s remains had a lot of spirituality. Furthermore, it contained tremendous energy. Using it to cultivate and using it to comprehend Heavenly Dao would both yield twice the results with half the effort.


    What was called a massive lucky chance?


    This was it! This was called a massive lucky chance!


    In this Ancient God Battlefield, no idea how many major powers had once perished.


    Even if just obtained a tiny bit, it was also sufficient for them to benefit for life.


    ��I feel that the remains of this Empyrean should be owned by Brother Ye. Along the way, without him, we might have been long dead,�� Hu Fei said.


    A hint of unwillingness to party flashed across in Song Yu��s gaze. But he struggled for a while and still nodded and said, ��What you said is right. Brother Ye, the remains of this Empyrean belongs to you.��


    The treasure being in front, saying that they were unmoved was fake. But they were also clear in their hearts, if not for Ye Yuan, they could not walk until here at all.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan exerted the most effort, but he distributed the treasures to everyone.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Those who see it have a share, what��s the deal with me pocketing it all by myself? This Empyrean��s remains, everyone shares them equally.��


    Song Yu was taken aback when he heard that and said, ��Brother Ye isn��t joking, right? This Empyrean��s remains are likely even harder than ordinary empyrean spirit treasures, how to split?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��We can��t divide it, but somebody can divide it!��


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant. While they were in a daze, Ye Yuan already walked over toward the remains.


    It was only to see him picking up the Empyrean��s remains. He actually directly started to refine it on the spot.


    Buzz!


    Right at this time, an immensely powerful soul force suddenly emerged from the Empyrean��s remains.


    ��Hahaha! This old man was trapped for countless eons! Today, I finally get to see the light of day anew! Kid, in order to repay you, become this old man��s fleshy body!��


    Seeing this old figure, the faces of Song Yu and the rest all changed drastically.


    ��Empyrean��s residual thought! This Empyrean powerhouse actually sealed a wisp of his residual thought inside the remains!�� Song Yu cried out in shock.


    ��Be careful, Brother Ye!�� Guo Jingyang and the rest had looks of terror on their faces as they shouted.


    The aura that this Empyrean��s residual thought exhibited was too powerful, making their divine souls quiver.


    Empyreans were existences standing at the summit of this world.


    Their might, mortals were completely unable to understand it.


    In front of this Empyrean��s residual thought, they could not give rise to any thought of resisting at all.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of running at all. Looking at the Empyrean��s residual thought, he smiled and said, ��Senior, I��ll have to trouble you to divide this into five portions.��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought was just immersing in the wild ecstasy of breaking free. But hearing Ye Yuan��s words, his laughter abruptly ceased.


    Could it be that this kid was a fool?


    Right now, this old man is about to seize possession of you!


    Not just him, even Song Yu they all were also shocked speechless.


    What was Ye Yuan doing here?


    The script shouldn��t be like this!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was scared silly by this Empyrean��s residual thought that suddenly came out?


    ��Kid, this Empyrean is going to take possession of you right now. Don��t you understand?��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought looked at Ye Yuan with a puzzled face.


    This brat did not look like a fool no matter how one looked at him!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m asking you to divide the remains. Don��t you understand?��


    Fool!


    Absolutely a moron!


    At this moment, the Empyrean��s residual thought was incomparably certain that this was absolutely a moron!


    ��Forget it, indeed a fool. I��ll free you afterward, and you��ll thank this Empyrean!��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought felt very bored. He felt that at this time, Ye Yuan should be trembling and kneeling on the ground, begging him for mercy.


    But the script did not develop according to his expectations.


    He wanted to seize possession of Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan actually wanted him to divide the remains.


    Back then, after a great battle, he was heavily injured on the verge of death.


    He was unresigned to it and wanted to revive.


    Hence, he refined his lifetime cultivation all into a bone of his.


    Then, he directly sealed a wisp of his remnant thought inside this bone and fell into an endless slumber.


    As long as someone obtained these remains and attempted to refine them, they would be able to open the seal and let him come out to seize possession and revive.


    Now, someone refined it, so he came out.


    He thought that the world would quiver because of it, but Ye Yuan did not.


    Rumble!


    The Empyrean��s residual thought turned into a cloud of black smoke and attempted to directly tunnel into Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Careful, Brother Ye!��


    The faces of Song Yu and the rest changed drastically, wanting to rush forward. But their feet could not move at all.


    But right at this time, an even more horrifying aura erupted from Ye Yuan��s body.


    An enormous soul vortex was like a limitless blackhole, and it actually took the initiative to welcome the Empyrean��s residual thought.


    ��Argh! E-Empyrean spirit treasure! Damn it!��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought that originally had an imposing momentum suddenly cried out strangely. That cloud of black smoke desperately wanted to break free of the vortex��s suction.


    But how could Dustless possibly let him escape?


    The Soul Suppressing Pearl was precisely these soul bodies�� jinx.


    Back then, the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s spiritual energy was virtually drained dry by Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    But after Ye Yuan��s so many years of nourishing, the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s vital energy already recovered 60% to 70%.


    This 60% to 70% strength was naturally inadequate to deal with genuine Empyreans. But dealing with a mere remnant thought was sufficient.


    That Empyrean��s residual thought unleashed all of its abilities, wanting to escape the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s suction. But he was currently like having fallen into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself at all.


    His mood gradually went from surprise to fear.


    ��Little Brother, t-this old man knows that he is wrong. Let this old man off, alright? This old man really knows that he is wrong!��


    How did the Empyrean��s residual thought still have that insufferable arrogance from earlier? His words even carried weeping.


    He was really scared!


    The threat that this kind of soul-type empyrean spirit treasure posed to him was too great.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I can let you go, but you must divide the remains into five portions.��


    How could the Empyrean��s residual thought still dare to say a word of no? He hurriedly said, ��Whatever Little Brother says is what it is! Don��t talk about five portions; even 50 parts, this old man will divide for you too.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. The soul vortex instantly dissipated. The pressure on the Empyrean��s residual thought��s body suddenly eased up, revealing his figure once more.


    Except, his figure was clearly much fainter compared to before. The expression on his face also appeared very weary. Clearly, he sustained considerable damage.


    Song Yu and the rest looked at this scene blankly. Each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    There was still this kind of strategy?

 Chapter 1980 - Doomsday Battle!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    A stream of soul force crept out. The remains actually started melting from the middle.


    Finally, it was divided into five portions.


    The Empyrean��s residual thought was currently like an aggrieved little wifey, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    He slumbered for countless tens of thousands of years, but what he waited for was actually such a result?


    Even thinking about it felt aggrieved!


    Getting a share of the remains, Song Yu said very contentedly, ��Heh heh, Brother Ye��s means really emerged in endless streams. This Song has broadened his horizons.��


    However, the shock in his heart could not be described using words.


    He could guess that Ye Yuan definitely had a divine soul type empyrean spirit treasure on him!


    Would he freaking �� give it a rest already?


    Stellar War Banner, Qinghong Battle Armor, now, there was also another extremely rare divine soul type empyrean spirit treasure.


    When did empyrean spirit treasures become common street-ware too?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Thank me for what. Want to thank someone , you naturally have to thank this senior. He put in painstaking effort and sealed his lifetime power into the remains for so many years, waiting for future generations to come. He is very noble!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Don��t make fun of people like this!


    Song Yu and the rest had smiling faces, treating it as a joke.


    The Empyrean residual thought said with a bitter face, ��L-Little Brother, you look; the remains are already given to you. So can you raise your hand high up in mercy and let �� let this decrepit old man go?��


    In this short while, his term of self-address changed several times.


    He first went from this Empyrean, to this old man, finally becoming this decrepit old man.


    At this time, he already became incomparably humble in front of Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What��s the hurry? You��ve already slept for so many years and finally managed to come out. We have got to chat more, right?��


    I �� I don��t know what the f*ck to tell you!


    ��H-Huhu, I wonder what Little Brother wants to chat about? T-This decrepit old man has slumbered for too long and already doesn��t remember many things.��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying.


    Ye Yuan was secretly surprised.


    This guy already slumbered until his memories dissipated away. How long did he sleep?


    50 million years?


    100 million years?


    One billion years?


    Ye Yuan said, ��What��s your name?��


    The Empyrean��s residual thought was thinking about it, but then he shook his head and said, ��Can��t remember clearly anymore. This old decrepit self remembers that �� they all seemed to have called me Daoless back then.��


    ��Daoless? Huhu, as your name implies,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    This guy sealed his remnant thought inside the remains. It was clearly harboring the thought of harming people.


    Presumably, he was also not some good person when he was alive.


    Except, encountering Ye Yuan now, he could not stir up any waves no matter how formidable he was.


    Daoless��s expression was rather ugly as he said with a bitter smile, ��I-I��ve incurred Little Brother��s ridicule.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Let me ask you; just what kind of place is this Ancient God Battlefield?��


    Daoless��s brows furrowed together, seemingly thinking hard.


    But in the end, he shook his head and said, ��It��s been too long, so I really can��t remember clearly anymore. This old decrepit self only remembers that this battle back then swept the entire Heavenspan World into action. Virtually no powerhouse could stay out of it.��


    Although Daoless��s words were flat, when Ye Yuan and the rest heard it, they felt struck with terror.


    A war that was unequaled by contemporaries that swept throughout the entire Heavenspan World, how tragic and spectacular was that?!


    It seemed like too many peerless powerhouses had fallen back then in this Ancient God Battlefield. No wonder it was so dangerous.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly as he said, ��I heard that Dao Ancestor powerhouses have perished here before; was there such a thing?��


    After another bout of brain-racking, Daoless nodded and said, ��That great battle, no one was able to detach themselves from it; even Dao Ancestors could not as well! Not only did Dao Ancestor powerhouses die in battle, but there were also even more than one.��


    ��Impossible! Dao Ancestor powerhouses are undying and imperishable, so how can they possibly die? Humph, you also don��t come up with a draft when lying!�� Song Yu��s expression changed slightly and he said with a cold snort.


    But Daoless shook his head and said, ��I didn��t lie. The terror of that war isn��t what you can imagine at all.��


    Daoless��s complexion was somewhat ashen as if those blurry memories made him very afraid.


    The few people��s complexions were very ugly too. It was still their first time hearing that Dao Ancestor powerhouses would actually die!


    Dao Ancestor powerhouses were existences that obtained the recognition of the laws of a region. They were equivalent to the representatives of Heavenly Dao, so who could kill them?


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��Looks like this Heavenspan World is far from as simple as we imagine!��


    Although Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was formidable, he was also just an Empyrean in the end. He was not even a Heavenly Emperor.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, that was another world, another circle.


    They might have some connection with a certain Dao Ancestor, and would also naturally know things that many people did not know.


    As for Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, he had not entered that circle yet. So the things that he knew were also very limited.


    All these required Ye Yuan to go and fumble himself around.


    ��Regarding that war, how much do you still remember?�� Ye Yuan asked again.


    Daoless shook his head and said, ��I can��t remember clearly anymore. This old decrepit self was also just a small fry in that war. I only remember that later on we called that war �� Doomsday Battle!��


    Ye Yuan��s face changed and he said, ��Doomsday battle �� What a terrifying name! Did the entire Heavenspan World come close to dying out? Then who were your opponents?��


    Daoless frowned and said, ��I can��t remember too clearly anymore. I only remember that �� it was a race war!��


    ��Race war? Could it be the human race and fiend race? Or demon race?�� Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    ��It was not any of them! I �� I can��t remember anymore! I only remember that that race was very terrifying! Very terrifying! They �� were too strong!��


    When saying this, Ye Yuan could feel the tremors in Daoless��s heart.


    Clearly, he really feared that race immensely.


    ��Alright, no matter what race they are, they already don��t exist in the Heavenspan World anymore at present,�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Hearing these two people��s conversation, the shock in Song Yu four people��s hearts practically could not use words to describe.


    They seemed to have heard the greatest secrets of this Heavenspan World.


    It turned out that Dao Ancestor powerhouses would die too!


    It turned out that an apocalyptic war had happened to the Heavenspan World before!


    It turned out that ��


    It was just a shame that Daoless��s memories were too incomplete. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to know even more things about the doomsday battle.


    ��L-Little Brother, this old decrepit self has already told you everything that I know. C-Can I go?�� Daoless said with an ugly expression.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Go? Huhu, you even wanted to take possession of me. Do you still hope for me to let you go?��


    Daoless said gloomily, ��That �� That was all a misunderstanding �� A misunderstanding!��


    Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, ��A misunderstanding? I don��t feel that it was a misunderstanding! You deliberately planned to seal yourself inside the remains; wasn��t it in order to seize possession of people? If I let you out, are you planning on finding a suitable fleshy body, and then finding me to take revenge again?��


    Daoless��s expression was ugly as he said, ��H-How is that possible?��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��Don��t need to say anymore! Letting you go is impossible. I give you two options. It is either you follow me starting today or you die!��

 Chapter 1981 - Still Want to Fight?

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��I �� I��ll submit to you!��


    Although Ye Yuan said it casually, like discussing it with Daoless, he knew that Ye Yuan was not joking with him.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��I��ll take you in right now. Don��t resist; otherwise, bear the consequences yourself.��


    The corners of Daoless��s mouth twitched slightly. He was very unwilling in his heart.


    He, an exalted quasi-emperor level powerhouse, actually ended up as a little fellow��s slave. How to make him accept this?


    Except, being under people��s roof, there was no choice but to lower one��s head.


    At this time, it was not up to him anymore as well.


    Finally managed to come out of the seal, but the result was such an outcome.


    He was unwilling!


    Right at this time, a profound energy was directly absorbed by Daoless, disappearing.


    There was Dustless suppressing inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl, so Ye Yuan naturally did not need to worry.


    He was originally planning on directly wiping Daoless out. But on second thought, although this Daoless lost all of his memories, he was after all a powerhouse in the ancient era.


    Perhaps one day, Ye Yuan could use him.


    ��Brother Ye, let��s hurry up and leave. Those bone devils aren��t weak. If they return, we likely can��t avoid a tough fight too,�� Song Yu reminded him.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and brought everyone away.


    Who could have thought that as soon as they came out of the cave, they ran into a few people head-on? Who could they be if not Zuo Mo, Feng Xiaotian, and the others?


    But currently, those weak children of destiny around him already disappeared. Most likely, they had already fallen.


    The moment Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian saw Ye Yuan and the rest, their faces immediately changed.


    Taking a look at the cave behind Ye Yuan and the rest, Zuo Mo said in a solemn voice, ��Why are you guys here? Could it be that �� that Empyrean remains have already been taken by you all?��


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils also shrunk slightly, but what he paid attention to was different from Zuo Mo.


    ��Song Yu, you actually broke through! No, wait, you all �� All of you broke through?��


    Feng Xiaotian discovered that not only did Song Yu break through to become a Fourth Firmament True God, but the others also made great progress in strength apart from Ye Yuan, breaking through more than a minor realm.


    Each and every one of them was practically almost breaking through to be a Fourth Firmament True God already.


    Just what kind of heaven-defying lucky chance did these guys encounter? To actually be able to breakthrough collectively?


    With Feng Xiaotian saying so, Zuo Mo also noticed it. This shock was by no means insignificant.


    He and Zuo Mo two people were both in possession of the emperor surmounting auras. Previously, they had also each encountered a great lucky chance before barely managing to break through, becoming Fourth Firmament True Gods.


    As for the others who followed them, they were not so lucky.


    But Song Yu��s squad actually collectively broke through. This kind of fortuitous encounter was simply fantastical!


    Song Yu was merely an imperial aura. This made Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian actually somewhat look down on him.


    But who knew that Song Yu this group of people actually caught up with his footsteps without making a sound.


    ��Heh, are you very surprised? I, having a mere imperial aura, actually kept up with the cultivation speed of you all, these emperor surmounting auras!�� Song Yu said with a smug face.


    Feng Xiaotian had a gloomy look, clearly being choked badly as he said in a solemn voice, ��Let me ask you, was the Empyrean��s remains taken away by you all?��


    Song Yu said with a cold smile, ��So what if yes?��


    A cold light appeared in Zuo Mo��s eyes as he said in a cold voice, ��Hand it over and I��ll spare you guys from death!��


    He currently broke through to the Fourth Firmament True God Realm, making his confidence overflowing.


    With Feng Xiaotian��s cooperation, he did not believe that Song Yu could still stir up any waves.


    As for Ye Yuan��s strength, although it was troublesome, they already broke through to middle-stage True God Realm. The power span in the middle was massive.


    Even if Ye Yuan had empyrean spirit treasures, it simply impossible to be their match anymore too!


    ��Heh heh, what high-sounding sentiments! If you have the ability, come take it yourselves!�� Song Yu said with a cold laugh.


    ��Humph! Reckless and blind thing! Westbound Moon Treading!��


    After he was done talking, Zuo Mo did not say a word. Raising his hand, it was an incomparably swift and fierce sword move.


    Song Yu was not careless either, raising his sword and advancing. The two people clashed together.


    Breaking through to the middle-stage True God Realm, the two people��s commotion was tremendous, more than a magnitude stronger than before.


    By the side, Feng Xiaotian��s figure moved and was about to join the battle, fighting two-on-one.


    Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of him and said coolly, ��Your opponent is me.��


    Feng Xiaotian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a sneer, ��Punk, do you really think that you��re invincible by having two empyrean spirit treasures?��


    Ye Yuan was still indifferent as he said, ��You can give it a try.��


    Feng Xiaotian��s face fell and he said with a cold snort, ��Fine, then I��ll let you take a look at the might of middle-stage True God Realm!��


    Bang!


    The moment he released a powerful world power, everyone��s faces could not help changing.


    Feng Xiaotian��s strength was more than a level stronger than when fighting with Ye Yuan before.


    There was a massive gulf between Fourth Firmament True God Realm and Third Firmament True God Realm.


    Still the same moves, but the power already could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    ��Heh, as long as I kill you, I can similarly obtain a massive lucky chance. The empyrean spirit treasures on you are mine! Nine Firmament Jade Dragon Sword, go and die!��


    Feng Xiaotian laughed loudly, the swift and fierce sword light chopping over towards Ye Yuan.


    This time, Ye Yuan did not take out the Stellar War Banner.


    He slowly shut his eyes, his body becoming deathly still.


    He looked just like a dead person.


    Just as Feng Xiaotian released that ray of sword light, Ye Yuan��s eyes suddenly snapped open.


    ��Life and Death Seal!��


    Life and death; two completely different kinds of concepts interweaved and emerged, turning into an extremely powerful seal, meeting Feng Xiaotian��s sword light.


    Bang!


    Feng Xiaotian��s figure was directly struck flying out backward, flying straight for several hundred feet before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished face, full of apprehension in his eyes.


    How did this guy know such a powerful seal?


    Using this seal with Second Firmament True God strength, he actually fought to a draw with him?


    ��What seal is this? It actually gave me a feeling of being enlightened!��


    ��This seal actually gave me a composure that sees through life and death. It turns out that this kid��s divine essence martial technique is actually so strong!��


    ��Brother Ye really keeps things to his own self. I didn��t expect that he actually still had this kind of inconceivable seal!��


    ��


    Regardless of whether it was the people on Zuo Mo��s side or the people on Song Yu��s side, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan currently was incomparably shocked.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan relied on the power of empyrean spirit treasures to be so arrogant.


    But now, they all knew that they were wrong.


    Absurdly wrong!


    Even without utilizing empyrean spirit treasures, Ye Yuan��s own strength was also powerful until it was sufficient to rival Fourth Firmament True God!


    This Life and Death Seal was precisely the second seal art of the Three-Lives Nirvana Seal.


    Living two lifetimes, Ye Yuan��s comprehension of this set of seal art was far stronger than others.


    This kind of epiphany after experiencing life and death was not what these children of destiny could compare to.


    After breaking through to the Origin Pill Realm, Ye Yuan��s divine essence was already adequate to display this second seal.


    Exhibiting it now, the power was indeed extraordinary.


    Facing off against the Fourth Firmament True God Feng Xiaotian, he actually faintly suppressed him!


    ��Still want to fight?�� Ye Yuan looked at Feng Xiaotian and said with a smile that was not a smile.

 Chapter 1982 - Falling into Heavy Encirclement

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Over there, Song Yu and Zuo Mo also stopped.


    The reason why Zuo Mo chose to take action was that he was certain that Song Yu��s side was not a match for him. There was only him, a Fourth Firmament True God.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan only used the Life and Death Seal and actually overpowered Feng Xiaotian.


    This result seriously greatly exceeded his expectations.


    Zuo Mo looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��This Empyrean��s remains was discovered by us first. We even lured away the bone devils from this place, but you all took forcible possession of it. Where��s the logic?��


    Couldn��t beat, started to talk about reason!


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You saw it and it��s yours? I saw you now, I want to take you as my slave, will you be or not?��


    ��Pffft!��


    Everyone guffawed with laughter.


    Zuo Mo was enraged until his expression was livid ,and he said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, don��t you be rampant! Could it be that you��re really planning on fighting it out to the bitter end?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Fighting it out to the bitter end? You also need to have the ability to do so first! If we really continue fighting, who lives and who dies is still not known! Moreover, you all are also aiming for that Qilin emperor bone, right? Don��t talk about having a life and death struggle. If you get injured in this Bone Devil Ridge, I want to see how you snatch that emperor bone.��


    Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian��s expressions choked up, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually also aiming for the emperor bone.


    With this, it was troublesome.


    At that time, a fierce struggle could not be avoided.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zuo Mo two people and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Moreover, me keeping this Empyrean��s remains is also considered saving your lives. If not, you Zuo Mo �� probably wouldn��t be Zuo Mo anymore now.��


    Zuo Mo thought that Ye Yuan was deliberately mocking him and said in a great rage, ��Punk, don��t show off your cleverness after coming off cheap!��


    But the Song Yu by the side sneered and said, ��Who��s showing off after coming off cheap? Ye Yuan didn��t bluff you. This Empyrean��s remains is simply a hoax. That Empyrean powerhouse sealed a wisp of his remnant soul inside the remains. As long as you refine the remains, that Empyrean powerhouse will come out to seize possession! Heh, consider yourself lucky that you didn��t get the remains.��


    Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian��s faces changed when they heard it. Clearly, they had not thought that there was still such a thing.


    But very soon, Zuo Mo recovered and said with a cold smile, ��Since that��s the case, why are you guys completely fine?��


    Song Yu smiled and said, ��How can Brother Ye��s means be what you can surmise?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Talk to them about these for what? Let��s go.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Song Yu and the rest, and left straightaway.


    Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian two people exchanged a glance, but they still did not make a move in the end.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, the emperor bone was the end goal.


    If they expended too much effort here, no one could obtain the emperor bone in the end. They might even endanger their lives.


    ��


    The more one went into the depths of the Bone Devil Ridge, the more soul-stirring the undulations coming from the inner area that the person would experience.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan��s party also encountered quite a number of powerful bone devils and even suffered the besieging of a group of bone devils. But under Ye Yuan and Song Yu��s powerful strength, the perils were turned into safety.


    But they also discovered that the deeper in, the stronger the bone devils.


    These bone devils were very hard to deal with. Their defensive power was extremely strong, being comparable to the sixth transformation golden body.


    Once tangled by a group of bone devils, it would also be too much for a middle-stage True God Realm to bear.


    Fortunately, the strengths of Ye Yuan, Song Yu, and the rest, were all at the top among those in the same rank. Along the way, there were more scares than dangers.


    ��Brother Ye, why do I feel like there seems to be something controlling these bone devils?�� Song Yu suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Even the Empyrean��s remains were that troublesome, let alone the emperor bone. I feel that these bone devils might be controlled by the emperor bone.��


    Song Yu��s expression changed slightly, and he said, ��The bone devils that we��re encountering now are basically all First Firmament and Second Firmament True God Realm strength already. Advancing further, we��ll probably run into middle-stage True God Realm bone devils!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This is also something that can��t be helped. Middle-stage True God Realm bone devils will definitely be encountered. What I��m worried about now is whether or not there will be late-stage True God Realm, even Empyrean Realm bone devils. If that��s the case �� it will be troublesome!��


    When everyone heard that, their expressions changed slightly.


    If there were Empyrean Realm bone devils, they probably would not be able to even escape.


    But this kind of thing, no one knew as well.


    Circling around a patch of jagged strange rocks, the line of vision suddenly became widened.


    The faces of Ye Yuan and the rest suddenly changed, being dumbstruck with shock by the scene before their eyes.


    On the flat ground ahead, countless bones piled up together, and they actually piled into an enormous mountain.


    At the top of the mountain, where one��s vision could reach, a thick and large golden bone displayed on it.


    The aura emitting off of that bone made Ye Yuan��s heart palpitate too.


    ��This �� How many powerhouses�� skeletons pile up to form it?!�� Song Yu��s expression changed slightly as he said.


    Even if they were all powerhouses of a region, seeing this spectacular sight that made people��s hair stand on end, they still could not resist being somewhat shocked.


    One had to now, those that died in the Ancient God Battlefield, the lowest was also Celestial Deity Realm martial artists.


    Among these skeletons, no idea how many Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses and how many True God Realms powerhouses there were.


    Or �� how many Empyrean powerhouses there were!


    ��You all wait here; I��ll go take a look.�� Ye Yuan said.


    Song Yu��s expression changed, and he said, ��No way! It��s too dangerous for you to go over alone, let��s go together!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��No need. You all coordinate with me here. If there are any sudden turn of events, everybody must run immediately. Don��t hesitate.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan leaped and galloped at full speed toward that bone mountain.


    This Ancient God Battlefield was a very peculiar place. Ye Yuan��s spatial shift could not be used at all.


    Hence, he could only walk by feet.


    His speed was extremely fast, arriving at just several tens of thousands of feet away from that bone mountain in a blink of an eye.


    This distance was merely a matter of a twinkling of an eye to the Origin Pill Realm Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    The emperor bone at the top of the mountain gave off a faint golden light.


    Then, a scene that made people��s countenance change occurred.


    Countless skeletons crawled up from the ground, forming into a bone devil army in virtually a blink of an eye!


    The strength was these bone devils were extremely formidable. The weakest also had peak Celestial Deity Realm strength.


    ��Not good, this is a trap! That emperor bone was waiting for people to go over!�� Song Yu��s face changed drastically as he turned pale with fright and said.


    However, it was already too late.


    Ye Yuan was currently in the center of this open field. Even if he wanted to run, he could not run at all.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan was engulfed by the bone devil army.


    This bone devil army was different from the battle spirit army previously. Their strength was more than ten times stronger.


    Observing with a slight glance, Song Yu discovered that there were quite a few middle-stage True God Realm bone devils.


    This line-up practically made people despair.


    ��Hahaha! I didn��t expect it! Really didn��t expect it! This brat actually served at the vanguard and fell into the bone devil army. I want to see whether this brat dies or not this time!��


    Right at this time, a burst of loud laughter sounded out behind Song Yu. It was Zuo Mo and the rest who just happened to arrive.


    Seeing Ye Yuan fall into the bone devil army by himself, he and Feng Xiaotian were simply delighted.

 Chapter 1983 - Won’t Die

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Amidst the bone devil army, although Ye Yuan was startled, he did not lose his bearings.


    With the Stellar War Banner erupting, it immediately shattered a group of bone devils to dust. Even Third Firmament True Gods were no exception either.


    With Ye Yuan��s present divine essence strength, the power when controlling the Stellar War Banner was more than a level stronger than before. Third Firmament True Gods were completely incapable of lasting a single exchange with him.


    The true threat were those Fourth Firmament True God bone devils.


    But Ye Yuan was not worried. Relying on two empyrean spirit treasures, even Fourth Firmament True Gods would also find it hard to get close.


    Ye Yuan was different from the rest; his divine essence was incomparably pure. His ability to have prolonged battles was extremely strong.


    This degree of consumption was nothing to him.


    But Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian did not think so. Seeing Ye Yuan demonstrate his invincible might with the stellar war banner, they only smiled coldly in response.


    ��Heh, relying on the power of a spirit treasure to linger on with your dying breath, but the consumption of spirit treasures on divine essence is tremendous. I want to see how long you can sustain!��


    Zuo Mo smiled coldly, it was just that the sour note in his words could not be concealed no matter what.


    Two empyrean spirit treasures! He was incredibly envious!


    ��According to this degree of consumption, at most an hour and his divine essence will be exhausted. At that time, he can only be at other people��s mercy.,�� Feng Xiaotian also said.


    While the two people spoke, the shock in their hearts was not any bit less.


    There were at least five or six Fourth Firmament True God bone devils around Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan actually did not reveal the slightest hint of defeat under the combined attacks of so many bone devils.


    This kind of strength was already sufficiently shocking.


    One had to know, when Ye Yuan was facing these five to six Fourth Firmament True God bone devils, he still had to deal with countless bone devils at the same time!


    By the side, Song Yu��s expression was very ugly.


    That endless skeleton army had no end in sight.


    If it were him, he would likely have long been dismembered at this time.


    Zuo Mo looked at Song Yu and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Song Yu, weren��t you implacable enemies with Ye Yuan? Now, seeing that he��s about to die, you should be happy.��


    Song Yu gave a cold snort, gritted his teeth, and said to Guo Jingyang and the rest, ��Do the few of you want to charge inside together with me?��


    Hu Fei immediately answered without another word, ��My life was given by Brother Ye, so what��s the problem if I return it to him?��


    ��Brother Ye��s high morality reaches the clouds, how can we watch by the side? Charge inside!�� Guo Jingyang said.


    Ma Chang nodded his head and said with a decisive look, ��I��ll go too.��


    ��Okay, follow me!��


    Finished talking, Song Yu took the lead and directly charged into the bone devil army.


    When Zuo Mo saw this action of Song Yu and the rest, he could not help getting a big shock.


    Were these guys �� mad?


    Just what kind of bewitching soup did Ye Yuan give these guys?


    Inside mystic realms, who was not self-centered and selfish? Why would there be anyone who would go and risk their lives for their companions?


    Saying that they were companions, everyone was merely cooperating out of interest.


    Really reaching the juncture of life and death, they would abandon their companions without the slightest hesitation.


    In reality, they had done so too.


    Along the way, their companions got fewer and fewer. There were quite a few who were directly abandoned by them.


    But now, Song Yu these few guys actually rushed into the bone devil army for Ye Yuan��s sake without heed for their lives.


    Good heavens! They didn��t know without exchanging blows.


    The moment they exchanged blows, even Song Yu, this Fourth Firmament True God, also felt the pressure skyrocket.


    The surrounding bone devils were too many. They were simply unable to deal with the enemies.


    There were blade lights and sword images everywhere.


    Even if Song Yu��s strength was formidable, he was also teetering on his feet; let alone the others.


    The few people pushed into a distance of several hundred feet and could not charge in anymore.


    Matching up against a Fourth Firmament True God bone devil, Song Yu still had to deal with other bone devils, and he could only retreat as he fought.


    In the end, Song Yu and the rest were actually forced out.


    These bone devils did not pursue relentlessly. After exceeding a certain range, they would return once more.


    The expressions of Song Yu and the rest were extremely ugly. Only at this time did they know how powerful Ye Yuan��s strength was!


    He could actually deal with so many bone devils on his own.


    Zuo Mo and the rest were also extremely alarmed when they saw. There was no damage without a comparison.


    He fought with Song Yu before and knew that Song Yu��s strength was not much worse than his.


    If he went down, he naturally could not gain any advantage either.


    But Ye Yuan could actually remain safe and sound being besieged by so many bone devils. One had to admit that his strength was formidable.


    Later, Song Yu and the rest attempted to charge several more times. But each time, they were forced back.


    There were even quite a number of wounds left on the few people��s bodies.


    In a twinkle, an hour passed, the expressions on Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian��s faces became more and more interesting.


    They kept on harboring the attitude of gloating over others�� misfortune, waiting for Ye Yuan��s divine essence to be exhausted.


    But until now, Ye Yuan did not show any signs of his divine essence drying up.


    This one hour, Ye Yuan actually charged out a distance of several thousand feet and was already not too far away from the borders.


    ��I-Is this guy still a human? Such a great expenditure and he��s actually completely fine!�� Zuo Mo said with a look of disbelief.


    Feng Xiaotian��s expression was also very ugly as he said in a solemn voice, ��Just what kind of cultivation method does this punk cultivate? Even if it��s a Heavenly Emperor inheritance, it��s also impossible to not have any reaction to this degree of consumption, right?��


    They were really unable to understand just how much divine essence was stored within Ye Yuan��s body. Could it be that it was inexhaustible in supply and would never be used up?


    Song Yu and the rest already gave up on charging in. They also discovered Ye Yuan��s anomaly and had excited faces.


    ��Hahaha! Didn��t you guys say that Ye Yuan��s dead for sure? Open your dog eyes and take a look. Is he dead?�� Song Yu said with a big laugh.


    Zuo Mo was triggered by these words, immediately turning bright red as he became angry from embarrassment and said, ��He didn��t die, so could it be that you also won��t die? Brother Feng, let��s join hands and exterminate the few of them first, what do you think?��


    Ye Yuan failing to die caused Feng Xiaotian to be in a bad mood. He said in a solemn voice, ��I have precisely that intention.��


    In reality, they had long wanted to take action.


    But they had been harboring the mentality of watching the show all along. That was why they did not make a move.


    Now, Song Yu��s one sentence thoroughly infuriated these two.


    The two people did not say another word, directly squaring off with Song Yu.


    This group of people had been constantly making wisecracks by the side, Song Yu was long pissed by it. He immediately raised his sword and stepped forward, fighting one-versus-two.


    But Song Yu was not Ye Yuan. Fighting one-on-two was clearly very taxing.


    Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian were not some rookies. They were people with top-notch strength among peers.


    The remaining Guo Jingyang and the rest, although their numbers were not many, their strengths were a great deal stronger than the other party.


    Both sides had fire pent up. This fight was fought very fiercely.


    Ye Yuan there felt something. Seeing Song Yu and the rest get surrounded and attacked, he was also greatly anxious.


    But the bone devils around him were too many. He simply could not break through in a short while.


    Song Yu fighting one-on-two became more and more strained, with danger arising incessantly.


    ��Song Yu, you��re at any rate Fourth Firmament True God too, to actually willingly be a dog for Ye Yuan!�� Zuo Mo said with a loud laugh.


    ��F*ck your mom��s dog fart! Us and Ye Yuan are friends! People like you will never understand!�� Song Yu let loose a torrent of abuse.


    ��Friends? Heh heh, put your life on the line for Ye Yuan then! Brother Feng, you come and hold him back. I��ll prepare for a bit and annihilate this fellow, fulfilling this guy��s friendship!��


    After he was done talking, the aura on Zuo Mo��s body skyrocketed. Everyone��s expressions changed.

 Chapter 1984 - Worthless

    Zuo Mo��s body seemed to have become a blazing sun, shining with boundless radiance.


    That horrifying energy undulation, even the same rank Feng Xiaotian also suddenly changed colors.


    The power of this move was extraordinary!


    The color on Song Yu��s face changed too. That horrifying power gave him an extremely strong feeling of danger.


    His moves suddenly turned intense, wanting to force Feng Xiaotian back and get away from him.


    But how could Feng Xiaotian let him get his wish?


    Feng Xiaotian urged world power to the limit and latched onto Song Yu firmly, not giving him any chance.


    Both parties�� strengths were roughly on par. It was easier said than done to want to get away within a short time.


    The imposing momentum on Zuo Mo��s body became stronger and stronger. His entire person even turned into a sun, illuminating the entire wilderness.


    At this moment, he was akin to a god.


    This kind of big move that needed a long time to accumulate heaven and earth spiritual energy tended to have immense power.


    It was just that this kind of move was not practical. In a real battle, who would give you this kind of chance to launch your move?


    But now, he was fighting two-on-one with Feng Xiaotian. This created the opportunity for Zuo Mo.


    At this very moment, with Zuo Mo as the center, temperature suddenly rose to a horrifying degree. It was as if it was going to burn everything into nothingness.


    At this time, Zuo Mo slowly opened both eyes, but he looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and said with a loud laugh, ��Ye Yuan, do you feel very powerless? You �� can only watch your companion die helplessly, and you can��t do anything about it! Once this Grand Blazing Sun is unleashed, it��s absolutely invincible in the same rank! Hahaha!��


    Horrifying flame power of law reverberated between heaven and earth.


    Song Yu��s expression suddenly changed due to the threat of death hitting head-on.


    ��Thanks for the trouble, Brother Feng. Leave the rest to me!�� Zuo Mo said overbearingly.


    Feng Xiaotian gave a big laugh and suddenly pulled away from Song Yu.


    ��Heh, Brother Zuo��s move is impressive!�� Feng Xiaotian said.


    Zuo Mo smiled proudly, his palm suddenly pushing. That horrifying blazing sun actually hurtled towards Song Yu.


    Song Yu wanted to escape, but the surrounding space was already wrapped up by endless flame laws. He seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, being unable to budge an inch at all.


    That blazing sun got closer and closer. Song Yu��s complexion turned white as paper.


    Having him resign himself to death, that was impossible.


    But due to time constraints, he could only use his strongest sword move. However much he could ward off was the only thing he could do at this moment.


    He mustered up all the divine essence in his body, bursting forth in full strength instantly.


    ��Seven Absolutes Unended Sword!��


    Song Yu gave a loud cry and suddenly swung a sword out.


    Seeing this scene, Zuo Mo laughed coldly and said with disdain, ��Mantis blocking the cart, go and die with peace of mind!��


    Although Song Yu��s sword was strong, he was completely unable to mobilize too much heaven and earth spiritual energy in a haste. His move naturally could not compare with the Grand Blazing Sun.


    In front of the Grand Blazing Sun, Song Yu executing the Seven Absolutes Unended Sword was like a child brandishing a sword.


    Song Yu had a look of despair on his face. He discovered that this sword of his could not shake the Grand Blazing Sun in the least bit at all.


    In that instant the Grand Blazing Sun and Seven Absolutes Unended Sword were about to collide, a horrifying to the extreme sword intent approached from afar, arriving in an instant!


    Bang!


    The earth quaked, mountains swayed.


    Even a True God Realm powerhouse like Song Yu also could not stand firmly.


    Those bone devils were even scattered flying everywhere by this powerful wave.


    Zuo Mo was the first to bear the brunt. It was only to see him spew a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, with his figure flying out backward, directly knocking onto that mountain behind him before stopping.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan who walked over from amidst the bone devils pile with a look of astonishment, full of disbelief.


    This sword was unleashed by Ye Yuan?


    ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    ��What a powerful sword!��


    ��Ye Yuan unleashed his sword from so far away and actually reached first despite launching later. Not only did it extinguish the Grand Blazing Sun, it even severely wounded Zuo Mo. This �� How is this possible?�� Feng Xiaotian similarly looked at that figure with incomparable shock.


    This sword releasing, actually directly cleaved out a path from amidst the bone devil stack.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was extremely fast and already rushed to the borders of the bone fiend army.


    Song Yu had not walked out of the shock of this sword yet, the joy of surviving a calamity had not appeared yet.


    This sword move stunned him.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked over. Looking at the heavily injured Zuo Mo, he said coldly, ��Treating other people��s mercy as weakness, you��re really laughable! Powerless to do anything? Invincible in the same rank? I really don��t know where your confidence came from.��


    Zuo Mo��s expression was ugly to the extreme. No one knew whether it was because his injuries were too severe or because of shame.


    He was so high and mighty just now, feeling that no one could save Song Yu.


    But with a backhand, Ye Yuan gave him a slap.


    That sword seemed to have come from beyond the heavens, being powerful to the extreme.


    One had to know, in between this sword was still separated by those countless bone devils!


    After this sword killed countless bone devils, it could still seriously wound him when it reached here. How great was its power?


    How could a Second Firmament True God possibly unleash such a shocking and peerless sword?


    His opponent was a Fourth Firmament True God!


    In reality, it turned out that Ye Yuan had never been serious at all until now!


    Truly laughable!


    ��Along the way, I was just disdainful to stoop to your levels, but you guys really took yourself to be somebody important. A genius? Geniuses of your level are worthless in front of me! Killing you is as easy as blowing off dust!��


    Ye Yuan��s words cut incisively, saying until Zuo Mo did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    Indeed, it was as easy as turning over his hand to want to kill Zuo Mo.


    But what Zuo Mo did not know was that this sword also virtually drained Ye Yuan��s divine essence dry.


    Ye Yuan already comprehended Fifth Firmament spatial law not long ago and created this sword move inside the Death Cultivation Space, called Sword Hollow Etch


    The Sixth Firmament that fused spatial law Sword Dao and the Fifth Firmament spatial law, its power was immense.


    While the Grand Blazing Sun was powerful, in front of Sword Hollow Etch, it was not worth mentioning at all.


    If Ye Yuan displayed this move with Fourth Firmament Origin Pill Realm, 100 Zuo Mo would also die.


    It was just that this move��s expenditure was too great. Even with Ye Yuan��s pure divine essence, he could merely use one sword too.


    After displaying it, that was really closing one��s eyes and waiting for death.


    So unless there was no other alternative, Ye Yuan did not wish to use this sword.


    Just now, if not for Zuo Mo pressuring hard, it was also impossible for Ye Yuan to utilize Sword Hollow Etch.


    After all, if he relied on two empyrean spirit treasures, slowly breaking through was still achievable.


    Ye Yuan��s words made everyone feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    Those able to enter the Ancient God Battlefield, which one was not a proud son of heaven, existences possessing great destinies?


    But in front of Ye Yuan, they were nothing!


    Genius?


    That was just in order to serve as a stepping stone to show Ye Yuan was more gifted!


    Song Yu looked at Ye Yuan, a look of surprise on his face.


    He suddenly recalled, Jian Hongxiao had once said before in the Virtuous Wind Establishment, the people from the Jian Family who had seen before Ye Yuan��s destiny all went blind.


    Hence, no one dared to look and could only speculate that Ye Yuan was emperor surmounting aura.


    Looking at it now, the emperor surmounting aura on Zuo Mo and Feng Xiaotian��s bodies simply paled in comparison to Ye Yuan!


    Perhaps Ye Yuan��s future accomplishments were not limited to just the realm of Heavenly Emperor.

 Chapter 1985 - Killing to Establish Awe

    The whole place was silent. Zuo Mo��s side was even silent like cicadas in winter.


    Ye Yuan��s combat power far exceeded their imaginations.


    That sword move earlier might not be able to deal with Fifth Firmament True God powerhouses, but it was absolutely enough to one-shot Fourth Firmament True Gods.


    Who among them was Ye Yuan��s match?


    ��This �� Brother Ye, it��s a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding,�� Feng Xiaotian said with an awkward look.


    ��Yeah, yeah! All a misunderstanding!��


    ��Brother Ye is magnanimous! Don��t haggle over it with the likes of us.��


    ��


    With Feng Xiaotian taking the lead, the others also followed suit and apologized.


    They were all frightened silly by this sword move executed by Ye Yuan. So how could they still dare to oppose Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over everyone and said with a cold smile, ��Misunderstanding? Is it also a misunderstanding that you guys wanted to kill Song Yu?��


    Feng Xiaotian had an awkward look as he said, ��This �� This is also Zuo Mo. It was him that detested the sight of Brother Ye, so he deliberately led us astray!��


    Zuo Mo��s face changed and he said angrily, ��Feng Xiaotian, you!��


    Feng Xiaotian sneered and said, ��I told you long ago, don��t oppose Brother Ye. His talent isn��t what you can compare to at all!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Zuo Mo was angered by Feng Xiaotian, spurting out another large mouthful of blood.


    Ye Yuan was amused when he heard this. He then said with a smile, ��So that��s how it is. Then you kill Zuo Mo now and I��ll forgive you.��


    Feng Xiaotian was first taken aback, then immediately, his eyes revealed a hint of viciousness. Gritting his teeth, he said, ��Okay!��


    Zuo Mo��s face changed and he said furiously, ��Feng Xiaotian, you dare!��


    Feng Xiaotian smiled coldly and said, ��Sorry about it, Brother Zuo! Want to blame, blame that you shouldn��t have offended Brother Ye.��


    Whoosh!


    A streak of swift and fierce sword light arrived in an instant. The current Zuo Mo was severely wounded, so how could he block this swift and fierce sword?


    Just one sword and Zuo Mo��s head was decapitated, dead until he could not be any more dead.


    A peerless genius who possessed an emperor surmounting aura fell just like that.


    When Song Yu saw this scene, he also felt satisfied in his heart.


    Just now, when Zuo Mo unleashed the Grand Blazing Sun, he really thought that he was dead for sure.


    Although Ye Yuan made a move and saved him in the end, that kind of despair in the face of impending death still made anger rise from his heart.


    He was somewhat uncertain why Ye Yuan did not take action himself but wanted to make somebody else do the work.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, even killing Feng Xiaotian was also merely thus.


    How could he know that Ye Yuan could not unleash a second sword at all currently?


    Earlier, before Ye Yuan returned, he already swallowed quite a few divine essence recovery medicinal pills, and he was currently frenziedly recovering strength.


    One had to admit, this Qinghong Battle Armor still had a benefit, that was being able to conceal his actual situation.


    His divine essence was currently depleted, but others could not tell at all.


    The reason why he did so was merely buying time.


    But Song Yu was long already dead set on Ye Yuan now. Although he was doubtful in his heart, he did not say it out loud.


    Killing Zuo Mo with a sword, Feng Xiaotian said with a fawning smile, ��Wonder if Brother Ye is satisfied?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��At least you have sincerity. This matter is considered dropped.��


    Feng Xiaotian��s heart eased up and he said, ��Brother Ye, this emperor bone can actually summon so many powerful bone devils. What should we do?��


    Ye Yuan shut his eyes and said coolly, ��Wait!��


    ��Wait?�� Feng Xiaotian was uncertain.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, ��The ones coveting this emperor likely aren��t just the few of us. Wait for the others to come over and rendezvous, we��ll charge over together. As for who can get the emperor bone, that will depend on their own means.��


    Regarding this, Feng Xiaotian naturally did not dare to say a word more. He could only laugh dryly twice and retreat to one side.


    Indeed as Ye Yuan expected, in this following half a month, quite a few people arrived at the Bone Devil Ridge in succession again.


    Song Yu discovered to his surprise that the ones who obtained lucky chances were not just their party alone.


    There were plenty of people who broke through to be Fourth Firmament True Gods.


    There was even someone whose strength had already reached the peak Fourth Firmament True God Realm, being only a step away from becoming a Fifth Firmament True God.


    Although some people��s strength did not increase too much, they likely obtained quite a few powerful treasures too. Otherwise, they also would not dare to easily step foot into Bone Devil Ridge.


    The lucky chances left behind in this Ancient God Battlefield were seriously too many.


    Of course, the squads that came out first already became incomparably scattered now.


    There was no need to ask around; those weak ones were now likely already became part of the Ancient God Battlefield forever.


    Even Zuo Mo this emperor surmounting aura powerhouse died, let alone these imperial auras?


    After having learned about the situation here, those powerhouses all stopped.


    At this time, it was clearly the time to band up together.


    Only with everyone pooling their efforts and being of one mind could they pass through this bone devil army.


    Of course, there were people who felt that this was exaggerating things to raise an alarm. They did not believe that the situation was quite dire.


    The result �� was naturally being torn to pieces by the horrifying bone devil army.


    After a month, the powerhouses that gathered here were roughly 50 to 60 people already.


    These 50 to 60 people, their strengths were no idea how many times stronger compared to during the past before they entered this battlefield.


    At this time, a young man in azure robes came to the center of everyone and said in a clear voice, ��In my view, the people who want to compete for the emperor bone should be pretty much all here. With our strength, it should be sufficient to break through the bone devil army. Why not everyone give it an attempt together now; how about it?��


    This azure-robed young man was precisely that peak Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse, called Zhou Yu


    His original strength was not conspicuous among the group of geniuses.


    But just several months�� time had passed, and he was already standing at the summit.


    Zhou Yu��s tone had some high and mighty flavor, clearly putting himself on the seat of this group of people��s leader.


    ��Heh, you say go and we go? This young master, I, still want to go after a few days, can��t I? Stop putting up a front here. Who the hell do you think you are?�� At this time, a very disdainful voice sounded out, not giving Zhou Yu face at all.


    One sentence attracted everyone��s gazes.


    A good show came!


    This person who replied was called Li Xin. He was also a Fourth Firmament True God.


    Toward Zhou Yu��s attitude, he was clearly very displeased.


    The moment Zhou Yu heard this, he laughed.


    Swoosh!


    His figure suddenly moved, with his speed being swift to the extreme.


    At the same time, the sound of tearing through the air arrived with a howl.


    For Li Xin to dare retort, he was clearly prepared, immediately raising his sword to meet the enemy.


    Bang!


    A huge bang came over, Li Xin��s sword broke with a clank.


    And his head was also directly smashed into pulp like a watermelon.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter!


    ��That rod is an empyrean spirit treasure!��


    ��Not only that, but his strength is also so formidable!��


    ��Looks like the lucky chance this Zhou Yu obtained really isn��t small!��


    ��


    All around, there was a series of exclamations. Clearly, they were surprised by this swift and fierce rod.


    That Li Xin��s strength naturally went without saying. Being a Fourth Firmament True God already indicated he will be a problematic opponent.


    But under Zhou Yu��s rod, he actually did not even withstand one move!


    Ye Yuan kept on watching this scene quietly. Seeing this rod, his gaze turned slightly austere.


    This Zhou Yu��s strength was very strong!


    Zhou Yu put away the stick and stood upright, saying coolly, ��Who else has objections?��


    Who else would have objections still?


    Everyone stood up one after another and gathered together. Clearly, they were preparing to rush the bone devil army.


    In reality, the people that came these few days got lesser and lesser. It could be assumed that there would be less and lesser people coming if they wait around.


    Continuing to wait was simply wasting time.

 Chapter 1986 - : Returning in Defeat

    ��Mn? You people over there, still not coming over? Could it be that you have objections?��


    Zhou Yu saw that Ye Yuan did not move and his brows could not help furrowing.


    He did not expect that now that he already established awe, there were actually still people who did not know what was good for them.


    With Ye Yuan not moving, Feng Xiaotian did not dare to move either.


    Zhou Yu was formidable, but Ye Yuan was also formidable!


    He did not know who between Zhou Yu and Ye Yuan was more powerful, but without a doubt, it was as easy as flipping his hand for Ye Yuan to want to kill him.


    ��B-Brother Ye, you look �� Shouldn��t we go over too?�� Feng Xiaotian asked carefully.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Want to go, you go. I��ll wait a while more.��


    Feng Xiaotian��s expression turned stiff, gloominess on his face.


    I go?


    Would I dare to go?


    Already offended you, grandfather, badly before, if I were to really go over and you give me a slash from behind, wouldn��t I still have to meet King Yama?


    But, not going �� wouldn��t I offend Zhou Yu, this great murderous god?


    Feng Xiaotian had a difficult look on his face, standing there awkwardly.


    When Zhou Yu saw that Ye Yuan ignored him, he was immediately greatly enraged.


    But, when he saw that Feng Xiaotian was actually so cautious toward a Second Firmament True God, he was rather surprised in his heart.


    Looking at the expression of Song Yu and the others, this squad actually seemed to have Ye Yuan as the center.


    ��Kid, I��m talking to you.iDdn��t you hear me?�� Zhou Yu looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice.


    ��This bone devil army isn��t easy to clear. We should wait for a while more. An additional person is an additional portion of strength,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He had personally rushed before the bone devil army, and he naturally knew how troublesome this bone devil army was.


    People should not look at how he killed his way in and out alone, because not everyone had such thick divine essence like him.


    Facing so many Fourth Firmament True God bone devils, once divine essence was exhausted, it would be the outcome of waiting for death.


    Furthermore, these bone devils�� strengths also varied.


    Weak ones, Ye Yuan could kill them with one move.


    Strong ones, even he felt very troublesome to handle them.


    Although Sword Hollow Etch was powerful, he could only unleash one sword move.


    Not reaching the last resort, he naturally would not use this move.


    Except, Zhou Yu did not know these.


    With Ye Yuan not speaking, Feng Xiaotian naturally did not dare to say things out.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Zhou Yu��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Looks like there��s still someone who doesn��t know what��s good for them! Forget it! Since the deterrent force earlier isn��t enough, then let��s have another!��


    This Zhou Yu was clearly someone who was decisive in going for the kill, attacking straight away, directly turning into an afterimage, and rushing over.


    ��Life and Death Seal!��


    Ye Yuan was long prepared; the Life and Death Seal suddenly rumbled out, meeting Zhou Yu��s astonishing rod.


    Bang!


    The two people each retreated several dozen steps before barely managing to stabilize their figures.


    Zhou Yu��s expression changed greatly. He did not expect that a puny little Second Firmament True God actually received his blow!


    He knocked a Fourth Firmament True God dead with one blow earlier!


    ��How can this kid be so strong?�� Zhou Yu was secretly startled.


    The other people��s faces changed one after another. They thought that this blow landing, Ye Yuan would definitely be beaten into pulp too.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan would be safe and sound!


    Of course, they would not think that Zhou Yu only had this bit of strength. This blow, he definitely held back somewhat.


    But even if it was somewhat held back, it was also not what ordinary Fourth Firmament True Gods could withstand.


    Now, it was actually easily resolved by a Second Firmament True God.


    They finally understood why Feng Xiaotian was cautious in all respects.


    Zhou Yu��s expression was very ugly. He originally wanted to kill people to establish awe. But who knew that he ran into a tough character, to actually receive his blow effortlessly.


    ��Punk, you��re good! Since you want to wait here, slowly wait then. When we get the emperor bone, see what you��ll use to be arrogant!�� Zhou Yu said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Go ahead.��


    Zhou Yu gave a cold snort, but turned his head to look at Feng Xiaotian and asked, ��You, going or not?��


    Feng Xiaotian��s face changed and could not help looking at Ye Yuan, but he discovered that Ye Yuan already walked to one side.


    Zhou Yu clearly saw through already that Feng Xiaotian and Ye Yuan were not together.


    ��I �� I��ll go!�� Feng Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said.


    He had never been so oppressed before in his life.


    But he was scared. He was afraid that Zhou Yu would smash his brain into a pulp with a rod.


    That was an empyrean spirit treasure!


    This thing in Zhou Yu��s hand had much greater power than the things in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    After all, Zhou Yu��s realm was more than two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan.


    ��Humph, at least you��re sensible!�� Zhou Yu said with a cold snort.


    Just like this, Zhou Yu brought 40 to 50 people and rushed right into the bone devil army.


    Song Yu looked at this group of people and said with a cold smile, ��A bunch of blind and reckless people. They think that by obtaining a bit of lucky chance, they are now undefeatable. Look at them. They would not even know how they die. Do they really think that the emperor bone is so easy to get?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Can��t be forced, so let them be. Just nice for us. Let��s make use of this chance for us to refine the Empyrean��s remains a little. It will more or less increase our strength.��


    There were too many people previously, they also could not take the Empyrean��s remains out to refine.


    Now that everyone was gone, they did not have any misgivings.


    Just like this, the five people started refining the Empyrean��s remains. The few people��s strengths were also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Daoless refined all of his strength into the remains. Although countless years had passed, and the energy inside the remains also dissipated significantly, to them, several martial artists who just entered True God Realm, it was still a great tonic item.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan��s realm reached the late-stage Second Firmament Origin Pill Realm, causing his strength to increase significantly once more.


    As for the others, their refining speed was a little slower, but they also advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Rather, it was Guo Jingyang who actually broke through to the Fourth Firmament True God Realm in one go.


    Their squad added another middle-stage True God Realm.


    And right at this time, a commotion came over. Zhou Yu rushed out of the bone devil army in the forefront.


    The rest followed closely behind, all also charging out.


    But these people��s bodies more or less carried wounds. Clearly, they had suffered considerable injuries.


    This side was very spacious. Zhou Yu saw Ye Yuan the moment he came out, and his gaze could not help turning intent.


    Just two days�� time, why did this punk��s strength increase so much?


    Although he did not break through to the Third Firmament True God Realm yet, this cultivation speed was a little too fast, right?


    There were definitely treasures on these few fellows�� bodies!


    Zhou Yu��s expression was very ugly. Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s words were right. They charged a distance of several tens of thousands of feet in one go. But the further in front they went, the Fourth Firmament True God bone devils became more and more. They could not charge further at all.


    Continuing further, they could only be annihilated one by one.


    There was no choice. They could only turn around and slaughter their way back.


    This to and fro spent two day��s time. Putting aside suffering injuries, they returned to their original spot again; incredibly depressing.


    When Song Yu saw Zhou Yu they all, he could not resist bursting into laughter and said, ��Hahaha, you fools! Ye Yuan already said to not be anxious; an additional person is an additional portion of strength, but you guys wouldn��t listen. With this, now you know the prowess of this bone devil army already, right?��


    Zhou Yu��s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot but was unable to refute.


    Their line-up was strong, but encountering this bone devil army, they could only return in defeat.

 Chapter 1987 - We’re Different

    Originally, over 50 people went. Now, less than 40 returned.


    Fortunately, those remaining were all elites. They were basically all Fourth Firmament True Gods.


    These people all had injuries on their bodies, with their expressions showing extreme regret.


    If they had known long ago, they would have listened to Ye Yuan.


    Recalling those ferocious and berserk bone devils, these people all felt a chill run down their spines.


    ��You��re courting death!��


    Zhou Yu gave a cold yell and dealt a rod blow toward Song Yu.


    ��Life and Death Seal!��


    How could Ye Yuan let him do as he wished? Waving his hand, it was a Life and Death Seal.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan did not budge an inch, but Zhou Yu shot backward, a mouthful of blood spraying wildly.


    Zhou Yu was greatly alarmed in his heart. He did not see Ye Yuan for two days, but Ye Yuan��s strength actually strengthened this much?


    One had to know, the two of them were still evenly matched in strength previously. Now, he was actually suppressed by the other party?


    Although his consumption in the bone devil army was tremendous, the power of this rod just now was not weaker than that rod before.


    The same move, he was suppressed, it could only say that the other party��s strength was stronger!


    ��Already overworked for two days and still have the energy to throw your weight about. If I were you, I��d be a bit more obedient. Although Song Yu��s words were unpleasant to the ears, he did not say the wrong things. I urged you before, but it was you who acted arbitrarily, harming everybody��s lives,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The others were silent like cicadas in winter, but they deeply felt the same way about Ye Yuan��s words.


    Zhou Yu��s eyes spewed fire as he gritted his teeth and said, ��You��re very good! After I recover divine essence, let��s settle the score again!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ll accompany you anytime.��


    The following few days, everyone was recovering vitality.


    Although Zhou Yu let out harsh words and was also extremely displeased with Ye Yuan, he also understood that Ye Yuan��s strength was sufficient to be placed in the same category as him already. Ye Yuan��s strength was very useful for breaking through the bone devil army.


    Whatever grudge, wait until after this bone devil army before talking.


    Sure enough, the following two months�� time, some more people came again one after another. The numbers recovered to 50 plus people again very quickly.


    And these people that came later, each and every one of their strength, none was not weak.


    These people were only delayed for so long because they had fortuitous encounters. Their strength was naturally powerful.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of charging in. Only all the way until another two months passed, the numbers breaking through to 70 over people did Ye Yuan slowly stand up.


    ��I��m going to challenge this bone devil army, who��s willing to go together?�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    Zhou Yu did not move, he just smiled coldly and said, ��Heh, the one who said not to go was you, the one who said to go is also you. Now, there��s merely just a dozen over more people and you dare to rush the bone devil army?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I��m different from you.��


    Zhou Yu��s face fell and he said with a cold smile, ��In what way are we different? Do you really think that your strength surpasses mine? Everyone, don��t listen to him. He��s at best on par with me. If I couldn��t clear it, could it be that he can clear it?��


    The others also exchanged glances, not knowing how to decide.


    After all, those people who had entered once all had psychological traumas.


    Seeing the other people��s expressions, Zhou Yu had a cold smile on his face.


    I want to see how you play!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Rushing this bone devil army, our squad will take the lead. The others can just follow behind and support with coordinated actions.��


    The moment he said this, the others were startled.


    When Zhou Yu brought them to rush the bone devil army, it was all having the others spearhead and attack.


    Although his strength was the greatest, the effort that he exerted was actually not considered the most.


    Those children of destiny who were killed by bone devils were the ones who exerted the most strength.


    They drew most of the firepower.


    But now, Ye Yuan was actually going to spearhead the attack himself, that was also to say that he would be facing the most bone devils, and also have to face the strongest bone devils.


    ��Would this kid be so good-hearted?��


    ��His strength is decent, but it��s also not to the extent of putting himself in danger, right?��


    ��This �� Wouldn��t be a scheme or a plot, right?��


    ��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, everyone��s first reaction was that there was a problem.


    After all, this kind of selfless thing, nobody would go and do.


    Ye Yuan was naturally also not some goody-two-shoes, willingly putting himself in danger.


    It was just that if he did not lead the attack, no matter how many the people, it was also impossible to charge through.


    This point, he had long weighed it before.


    The deeper in, the stronger those bone devils.


    Even if his divine essence was thick, it also could not bear this kind of consumption.


    After all, the numbers were too many.


    If not because of this, he would have long gone to clear it himself.


    By the side, Feng Xiaotian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, ��Brother Ye, I��ll follow you!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.


    ��Pretending for what? Would you be so kind-hearted? Wouldn��t be harboring some malicious motive, wanting to entrap everyone, right?�� Zhou Yu said with a cold smile.


    Song Yu answered with a cold smile and said disdainfully, ��Brother Ye had once slaughtered his way back alone from a place several tens of thousands of feet away. If even he can��t clear this bone devil army, then nobody can clear it!��


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    ��What? Alone? From somewhere several tens of thousands of feet away?��


    ��This �� This is impossible!��


    ��Even if it��s a Fifth Firmament True God, if they fell into a heavy encirclement, it��s also certain death, right?��


    ��


    Everyone��s first reaction when hearing this was that it was nonsense.


    Although Fifth Firmament True Gods were strong, they also could not withstand the exhaustion of so many Fourth Firmament True Gods!


    ��You all don��t need to doubt, I saw this with my own eyes! Brother Ye he indeed killed his way out from the bone devil army by himself. Missing this chance, nobody can get the emperor bone,�� Feng Xiaotian spoke up at the appropriate time.


    At this time, the people in Feng Xiaotian��s team already all died, leaving only him, a lone general without an army.


    To want to obtain the emperor bone, depending on Ye Yuan was his only choice.


    Just as everyone was still doubting, Ye Yuan brought Song Yu and the rest and arrived at the borders of the bone devil army.


    That bone devil army crawled out of the ground once more, each and every one baring their fangs and brandishing claws; extremely ferocious.


    Ye Yuan said in a clear voice, ��Without everyone��s help, I don��t have confidence in being able to charge through. But I��m only attempting this once. If it fails, I��ll give up on the emperor bone. At that time, everyone must think of another way then. Now, those who want the emperor bone, keep up!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan��s Stellar War Banner suddenly rumbled out, directly blasting open a bloody path.


    Then, he brought Song Yu and the rest, charging into the bone devil army without even turning his head back.


    ��Empyrean spirit treasure! Two empyrean spirit treasures!��


    ��So that��s how it is! Brother Ye is already leading his men to charge through! What are we still hesitating for? Charge!��


    ��


    Done talking, there were immediately over a dozen people who followed after.


    The figures of Ye Yuan and the others were gradually going further away. So they already did not have much time to hesitate.


    Ye Yuan��s words, flashing out empyrean spirit treasures, coupled with leading his men in a charge, already conquered the vast majority of the people.


    Compared to Zhou Yu, Ye Yuan was clearly much more credible.


    He did not force everyone to join and was even in the forefront, leading his men.


    In comparison, the level was immediately established.


    The people who hesitated became fewer and fewer; everyone followed after like tidewater.


    Zhou Yu��s expression flickered incessantly. He wanted to be the leader taking the initiative, but in the end, he messed up.


    Now, making him follow Ye Yuan, he was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.


    But based on him alone, it was absolutely impossible to break through the bone devil army.


    In the end, he gritted his teeth and charged into the bone devil army.

 Chapter 1988 - : Storming the Bone Devil Army

    With Ye Yuan leading the charge, the team��s advancing speed was extremely fast.


    In places where the Stellar War Banner arrived at, there were piles of broken bones.


    Those people who entered with Zhou Yu before, they felt like the situation was completely different.


    It was too easy along the way!


    Although it was still very dangerous, it was way too different compared to the last time.


    With Ye Yuan overpowering the enemies all the way, the pressure that went onto every person��s body did not have much left.


    With 70 Fourth Firmament True Gods, this force was absolutely powerful enough, practically advancing unreasonably all the way.


    ��If we knew long ago, we��d have waited a while and entered with Brother Ye!��


    ��Brother Ye��s strength is really too terrifying! Doesn��t he know fatigue?��


    ��Hahaha, awesome! We were pursued badly by this bunch of skeletons the last time. This time, I can finally hold my chin up high.��


    ��


    In the last battle, Zhou Yu wanted to use others as shields and naturally refused to charge in front.


    Hence, everyone was the point of attack.


    Those bone devils attacked without discrimination; they naturally collapsed in disorder.


    But this time, Ye Yuan attracted the vast majority of the firepower. They only supported through coordinated actions from the sides, it was naturally much easier.


    In addition, this time, the strength in numbers had a very large increase compared to last time.


    Hence, they naturally did not feel much pressure all the way until now.


    At the back of the team, Zhou Yu��s rod was brandished like the wind, but the shock in his heart was unable to be described using words at all.


    In the beginning, he harbored the attitude of gloating over others�� misfortune. This degree of consumption, Ye Yuan could not hold out for very long at all.


    But more than two hours passed in a blink. Ye Yuan still seemed like he was on stimulants. He seemingly was at his peak state, without the slightest sign of declining at all.


    Zhou Yu was aware of this; if he continued this level of fighting, he could not sustain for such a long time at all.


    Was this fellow still human?


    However, it was also not smooth-sailing along the way.


    The further in, the stronger the bone devils. Fourth Firmament True God bone devils became more and more.


    By then, some bone devils�� strengths were already extremely close to Fifth Firmament True God.


    Even Ye Yuan also felt rather strained.


    The speed of the team��s advancement slowed down, casualties also slowly started appearing.


    Those children of destiny also did not have the composure from before anymore.


    In the end, Ye Yuan simply gave up on the Stellar War Banner and directly fired out one Life and Death Seal after another.


    Although the Stellar War Banner was an empyrean spirit treasure, it was unable to unleash its true power in Ye Yuan��s hands at all.


    His realm was too low!


    In terms of power, the power of the Life and Death Seal was a great deal stronger.


    Of course, the Life and Death Seal��s consumption of divine essence was also enormous.


    Even with his divine essence purity, it was still somewhat struggling to make ends meet.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swallowed several divine essence recovery medicinal pills.


    ��Everyone, don��t hold back anymore! Hurry up and use whatever moves you have! Otherwise, we��ll all have to die here! There��s only a distance of several thousand feet away from the bone mountain already. Everyone, double up!�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    He understood in his heart that apart from their squad, this team were all harboring ulterior motives.


    Many people did not use their full strength at all. They were still saving their killing move, waiting to snatch the emperor bone at the end!


    A quick glance around, they already rushed to the foot of the bone mountain. The surroundings were virtually all Fourth Firmament True God bone devils.


    It was already impossible to want to turn back.


    In their current states, there was no divine essence to let them kill their way back at all.


    No path to retreat, then there was only advancing!


    Those one Life and Death Seal after another of Ye Yuan made everyone stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    There was actually still such a play?


    When everyone fought, they normally would not release big moves unless it was an absolute last resort.


    But Ye Yuan threw out one big move after another like it was free.


    The key thing was that Ye Yuan could actually really release so many.


    Was this guy �� really a Second Firmament True God?


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Tragic screams rose and ebbed, the casualties in the team were exacerbating.


    The speed that the team was advancing became slower. The bone devils that they had to face naturally became more and more.


    Furthermore, the strength of the bone devils got stronger and stronger, many people could not bear it.


    Even Ye Yuan also gradually started to despair.


    He did not think that the strengths of these bone devils at the back were actually powerful to such an extent.


    Even if he used Sword Hollow Etch, it was also impossible to eradicate clean all at once!


    ��What to do, Brother Ye?�� Song Yu forced back a bone devil and gritted his teeth and asked.


    ��What else can we do? Continue charging!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    This distance of several hundred feet in front of them was simply as far as the horizon despite being so near.


    It was just that, so what even if rushed up the bone mountain?


    Could it be that these bone devils would not chase after?


    After reaching on top of the bone mountain, it would be even more hopeless!


    100 feet!


    90 feet!


    ��


    30 feet!


    20 feet!


    10 feet!


    Ye Yuan��s divine essence was being rapidly depleted. Finally, he suddenly fired out a Life and Death Seal, directly blasting away the bone devils in front of him.


    Ahead was the bone mountain!


    Ye Yuan suddenly dashed, rushing straight out of the bone devil army, and climbing up the bone mountain.


    But he did not go up the mountain himself, but turned around and fired out a few more Life and Death Seals, helping Song Yu they all to charge out.


    ��Assist everyone!�� Ye Yuan said without thinking after saving Song Yu.


    Ye Yuan was not a goody-two-shoes, but he had his own principles.


    Without these people, he could not barge through this bone devil army by himself too.


    Now that he stormed over himself, he naturally could not stand by and not rescue those in danger.


    Following that, one child of destiny after another charged out.


    After the last person charged out, Ye Yuan already made the preparations to make one last desperate effort.


    Who knew that at this time, that endless bone devil army actually scattered into piles of bones at this time.


    The originally incomparably noisy wilderness suddenly became incomparably quiet.


    This transition from commotion to quiet was extremely sudden, making everyone extremely not used to it.


    But very soon, everyone��s faces revealed looks of wild elation.


    ��Hahaha! We finally cleared it! Damn! I even thought that I��d be dead for sure this time!��


    ��Isn��t that so? Facing many same realm bone devils at the same time, this kind of battle is really exhilarating!��


    ��All thanks to Brother Ye. If not for him resisting the vast majority of the bone devils by himself, we��d probably have long died out.��


    ��


    They faced quite a few alone, while Ye Yuan practically faced more than a dozen, or even more, by himself.


    He kept on charging at the forefront. It was equivalent to being a sharp blade. The enemies encountered were naturally also the most.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s fighting style without regard for his life also repelled a large group of bone devils.


    It was because of this that there were only some remaining bone devils left for the others to handle. The pressure naturally reduced significantly.


    Everyone understood in their hearts that if not for Ye Yuan, they would have long been completely annihilated. No one could think about getting out alive.


    There was a wave of laughter and gaily chatting.


    But Ye Yuan did not smile.


    On the contrary, he had a solemn look on his face right now.


    ��What��s wrong, Brother Ye?�� Song Yu asked. He was currently rejoicing, but then he saw Ye Yuan��s solemn look, immediately reining in his smile.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��These bone devils were clearly controlled by the emperor bone. If this is his last measure, he should stop us at all costs. But �� this bone devil army completely scattered!��


    One sentence made everyone��s heart turn cold.


    And right at this time, on top of the bone mountain, another skeleton �� slowly stood up.


    Yes, just one!


    But everyone��s eyes immediately became wide-saucers. The feeling called despair was spreading in everyone��s hearts.

 Chapter 1989 - Bone Devil Three Swords

    ��E-Empyrean bone devil! How �� How can this be?��


    Before their eyes, there was just one bone devil.


    The undulation emitting off of this bone devil made everyone feel terror. What was this if not an Empyrean level bone devil?


    No one could have expected that going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties to arrive at the opposite shore, what awaited them was an Empyrean level bone devil.


    No wonder this emperor bone was never taken by people despite being placed here for so many years.


    Crack!


    Crack!


    Crack!


    The Empyrean bone devil walked toward everyone step by step. Each step it took, was like stepping on everyone��s hearts, making people palpitate with fear and anxiety.


    That might which blotted out the skies and covered the earth made everyone almost suffocate.


    ��Run!��


    Finally, someone could not resist and turned around and ran away.


    That child of destiny even used his strength to suckle, his speed swift to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan did not move, staring fixedly at the Empyrean bone devil.


    It was only to see the bone devil��s skeleton claw slowly raise up, and then lightly flicked. A streak of light blue flowing light tore across the night sky, accurately hitting that child of destiny who fled.


    Bang!


    The child of destiny directly exploded in the air, leaving not even residue behind.


    Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, being shocked speechless by this scene.


    Strong!


    Too strong!


    This was the strength of an Empyrean level bone devil. It made people unable to give rise to the slightest thought of resisting at all.


    There was no chance of escaping.


    As for joining hands to deal with this Empyrean bone devil �� don��t joke around! Even if put everyone together, it was also not enough to fill the crevices between his teeth.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, ��Senior, we came for the emperor bone. I wonder how we can get the emperor bone?��


    The Empyrean bone devil turned its head rather mechanically, looking toward Ye Yuan.


    The other people��s hearts leaped to their throats. Was this guy seeking death? He still wanted the emperor bone at this time?


    Being stared at by the bone devil��s pair of holes, although Ye Yuan was startled, he did not panic.


    He discovered that this bone devil had its own intelligence!


    If it was the same as those bone devils previously, this Empyrean bone devil would have long annihilated them all, why would it wait until now?


    To this Empyrean bone devil, this was merely a matter of raising a hand.


    Hence, he asked boldly.


    The bone devil��s pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Yuan and did not speak either, the air seemingly solidified.


    Suddenly, the bone devil opened that skeleton mouth, the lower jaws moved, using a dry voice to say ��As long as there��s someone �� who can receive three of my sword moves, they can �� take away �� His Excellency��s remains.��


    ��Hiss!��


    Everyone drew another mouthful of cold air.


    Receiving three of your sword moves �� who could still survive?


    Forget about three sword moves, even one sword move could not be received either!


    This joke was too much.


    Ye Yuan looked at the bone devil and asked again, ��Is it that if we can��t receive these three sword moves, we can��t leave?��


    Everyone��s faces turned intent. Thinking of that guy who was instantly killed just now, they could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.


    Who knew that that bone devil shook its head and said, ��As long as you block one sword move, you can leave. These three sword moves, I��ll suppress my strength to the same realm as you.��


    The bone devil seemed to have found the feeling, becoming much smoother when talking.


    And when the group of children of destiny heard this, they immediately heaved a big sigh in relief.


    If it unleashed this sword with Empyrean Realm, then no one needed to play anymore.


    ��Then �� if there are several people at the same time who receive Senior��s three sword moves, what then?�� Ye Yuan asked again.


    This time, the bone devil replied very quickly, ��First come, first serve.��


    Everyone��s eyes lit up. Someone immediately stepped forward and said, ��I��ll go first!��


    This person��s strength was not weak; he was also a middle-stage Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse.


    They were all children of destiny, avowed that their strength stood head and shoulders above all others.


    At least, they would not lose to same rank martial artists!


    ��Idiot!�� Zhou Yu could not resist scolding under his breath.


    The Empyrean bone devil did not say much, directly pulling out a bone from its rib.


    Then, the shape of that bone actually started transforming, finally turning into a bone sword that was neither short nor long.


    ��Empyrean spirit treasure!�� Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted slightly as he cried out in surprise.


    The others had clearly seen the actual situation too. Just now, they completely did not feel it. They did not expect that, in a blink of an eye, this Empyrean bone devil actually magicked out an empyrean spirit treasure.


    That child of destiny��s pupils also shrunk slightly, revealing a solemn look.


    ��Receive three sword moves, then this empyrean spirit treasure will also belong to the person. I give you all three days�� time to recover divine essence. Three days later, I��ll attack.��


    The bone devil said nonchalantly, then immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot.


    Three days�� time arrived in a twinkle. Everyone swallowed medicinal pills, their divine essence also pretty much recovered.


    The bone devil and that child of destiny stood facing each other. The bone devil opened its mouth and said indifferently, ��Now, this Empyrean is drawing his sword.��


    The moment his voice faded, he stabbed the bone sword in his hand out indifferently.


    Swish ��


    The air emitted a whistling sound. A horrifying undulation closed in on that child of destiny.


    The child of destiny also made his move!


    The long spear was akin to a long rainbow cutting across the sky, flying straight for that sword.


    There was no fierce divine essence collision like imagined. The long spear in the child of destiny��s hands turned into a pile of dust under this sword.


    Then, his entire person was also sliced into countless chunks, dissipating with the wind.


    His entire person seemed to have been weathered away.


    Everyone��s pupils, including Ye Yuan��s, all shrunk.


    They knew that this Empyrean��s sword move would be very strong. But they did not expect that it would be strong to such an extent.


    That child of destiny also stormed over together with them.


    Not saying that his strength was extremely strong, but it was at least not considered weak among this group of people.


    However, he could not even block the Empyrean bone devil��s one sword move!


    The power of this sword move absolutely far surpassed the standard of a Fourth Firmament True God.


    Even a Fifth Firmament True God was likely also completely not a match.


    This was still just the first sword move. Then the second sword move and third sword move, how terrifying would they be?


    Everyone could not help feeling a chill run down their spines. This Empyrean bone devil��s strength was too horrifying.


    ��Next!��


    The Empyrean bone devil clearly did not plan on giving everyone time to be afraid and directly wanted to start the next round.


    This time, no one jumped out.


    No one dared to go and receive this sword.


    ��If there��s no one, this Empyrean will pick,�� the Empyrean bone devil said coolly.


    Everyone��s faces changed but saw the Empyrean bone devil extend his bone finger, and then he pointed at one of the children of destiny.


    That child of destiny immediately felt his scalp tingle. The others also slightly heaved a sigh in relief.


    That child of destiny stood there, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot, unable to even more.


    ��Not accepting the battle, directly annihilate.�� The Empyrean bone devil went straight to the point.


    That child of destiny��s face changed. Directly being annihilated, that was annihilating with the strength of Empyrean Realm.


    If that was the case, he had even less of a chance.


    Bracing himself, he stepped forward.


    Then, the result did not have the least bit of surprise. He was obliterated with one sword move!


    Following that, the Empyrean bone devil started picking several more people. But no one could receive a single move of his.


    These Fourth Firmament True God proud sons of heaven were as feeble as tofu in front of this sword.


    There were roughly close to 40 people who made it through the bone devil army.


    The remaining were virtually all elites among elites. But in a blink of an eye, another seven to eight died.


    The Empyrean bone devil��s finger was just like a death-hastening talisman.


    Whoever it pointed to, they died!


    After the Empyrean bone devil annihilated a child of destiny, his finger pointed, landing on Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu��s face changed, toughening his scalp and stepping out of the ranks.

 Chapter 1990 - Different Appraisal

    Zhou Yu��s complexion was somewhat pale. No one knew whether it was because he was somewhat nervous or because he was afraid.


    Walking in front of the Empyrean bone devil, Zhou Yu took out that empyrean spirit treasure and drew a deep breath.


    Suddenly, he swung his rod horizontally, with the aura on his body suddenly changing. A profound power of law wrapped around him.


    ��What powerful law undulations! It turned out that this is his true strength!��


    ��Those people previously are far too lacking compared to Zhou Yu!��


    ��Maybe he can really block this sword.��


    ��


    When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Although Zhou Yu was still accumulating momentum, the law undulations on his body clearly far surpassed those powerhouses of the same rank.


    Him striking a powerhouse of the same rank dead with a blow, what he relied on was not just an empyrean spirit treasure.


    When fighting with Ye Yuan previously, he did not use his full strength either.


    The Empyrean bone devil still stabbed indifferently, sweeping away all obstacles in the way.


    Zhou Yu gave a loud cry and suddenly slammed his rod out.


    At the places where the rod passed by, fine cracks would appear in space.


    ��One Staff Questioning the Heavens!��


    Two formidable forces collided together directly, immediately stirring up a horrifying air billow, blowing until everyone��s face hurt.


    A muffled groan came out of Zhou Yu��s mouth as if being hit by a sledgehammer, directly being struck to the ground. He was wildly spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Zhou Yu��s complexion was white as paper, already sustaining heavy injuries.


    However, he did not have despair on his face. Instead, he had a look of joy.


    He blocked this sword, completing this impossible task.


    Up to this point, he was the first genius martial artist to perform to this step.


    He had reason to be proud!


    But right at this time, the bone devil lightly spat two words out of his mouth, ��Too weak!��


    That tone seemed to be rather disappointed.


    Zhou Yu��s expression turned stiff. The joy from a moment ago immediately evaporated into thin air.


    This �� This was weak?


    Then how strong was the power that the other party was comparing with?


    Everyone drew a mouthful of cold air. Someone as powerful as Zhou Yu actually could not receive this Empyrean bone devil��s sword move either.


    Just how strong was this sword move?


    In their eyes, the Zhou Yu who was already close to being invincible actually became too weak when reaching the Empyrean bone devil��s mouth.


    This appraisal made people breakdown!


    ��Senior displayed this sword with Empyrean cultivation realm but appraised me as too weak, I �� I��m unconvinced!�� Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said.


    To them, these proud children of heaven, this kind of humiliation was even more uncomfortable than killing him.


    Hence, even though he knew that the Empyrean bone devil was exceedingly powerful, Zhou Yu still expressed his refusal to give in.


    The Empyrean bone devil looked at him and said coolly, ��The geniuses in our era, they should be able to easily defeat me with regards to the first sword move.��


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    Such a horrifying sword move, it could easily be defeated?


    Just how horrifying were the geniuses of that era?


    They did not doubt the truth of these words, because the Empyrean bone devil completely did not have a need to lie about this sort of thing.


    ��Next one.��


    The Empyrean bone devil ignored everyone��s astonishment, raised his bone finger, and actually pointed at Song Yu.


    Song Yu��s complexion was deathly pale. With his strength, he absolutely could not block this sword.


    Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of him and said coolly, ��Senior, let me try.��


    Looking at this back view, Song Yu��s eyes were full of gratitude. Somewhat choking, he said, ��B-Brother Ye.��


    Ye Yuan turned his head and said smilingly, ��This sword is rather interesting, I want to give it a shot. Let me do it.��


    Song Yu had a touched expression, and with a nod, he said, ��Be careful, Brother Ye!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, turned to look at the Empyrean bone devil, and said, ��Senior, make your move.��


    The bone devil did not say a word and stabbed another sword out.


    Directly facing this sword move, Ye Yuan finally experienced the might of this sword.


    The Empyrean bone devil launched this move with Second Firmament True God divine essence. But the power of this move was sufficient to instantly kill Fourth Firmament True Gods.


    Within the same realm, it was simply an invincible existence.


    Feeling the piercing cold sword intent, Ye Yuan immediately drew his sword and made his move.


    ��Sword �� Hollow �� Etch!��


    A space annihilating aura instantly spread out.


    All of the children of destiny, their faces changed drastically.


    Too terrifying!


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted and he cried out in shock, ��It��s here! It��s this move!��


    This was his first time seeing Ye Yuan display this sword from start to finish. That breathtaking feeling was like he saw a beautiful girl, causing his heart palpitating with excitement.


    This sword was peerless among its contemporaries!


    The last time, he only saw the conclusion and did not see the process.


    This time, he saw it all.


    He was really unable to imagine that there was actually someone in this world who could display such a perfect sword.


    After witnessing Zhou Yu��s One Staff Questioning the Heavens, he knew that if there was someone capable of truly blocking this sword, it would be none other than Ye Yuan.


    Originally, he did not know Zhou Yu��s trump card.


    He knew that perhaps Zhou Yu could have the strength to rival Ye Yuan. After all, his realm was much higher than Ye Yuan.


    But now, he knew that even if Zhou Yu displayed One Staff Questioning the Heavens, he was likely not Ye Yuan��s match either.


    Because he had seen Sword Hollow Etch��s terrifying power with his own eyes before.


    One Staff Questioning the Heavens could not do it.


    But now, the Empyrean bone devil was displaying this sword at Second Firmament True God. Facing the same rank Ye Yuan, he might not be able to win!


    Zhou Yu looked at Ye Yuan��s proud figure and actually felt ashamed of his unworthiness.


    It turned out that this was Ye Yuan��s true killing move!


    Compared to Ye Yuan, he was nothing!


    ��Go!��


    Two swords were akin to two comets, colliding in the air in a blink of an eye.


    Bang!


    Sword Hollow Etch smashed the bone devil��s sword like crushing dead leaves, carrying an imposing momentum that pressed forward with an indomitable will, aiming straight for the bone devil��s main body.


    But right at this time, the bone devil casually waved, like chasing away flies.


    Sword Hollow Etch evaporated into thin air as if it had never appeared before.


    The power of an Empyrean was unbelievably formidable!


    The crowd was silent.


    No one could have thought that such a conclusion would actually occur.


    Suddenly, the Empyrean bone devil slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Not bad, you��re �� very strong!��


    Everyone turned pale with fright. This appraisal was extraordinary!


    About Zhou Yu��s breathtaking rod move earlier, the Empyrean bone devil��s evaluation was that the former��s move was too weak.


    But now, his appraisal of Ye Yuan was actually very strong!


    ��How can this Ye Yuan be so strong?��


    ��According to the Empyrean bone devil��s criteria, can Ye Yuan��s strength already rival their era��s geniuses?��


    ��Is �� this a true genius?��


    ��


    Hearing this evaluation, all of the children of destiny were dumbstruck with shock.


    Each one of them grew up amidst praises. Their strength had also always overpowered their peers.


    But now, their brilliance was overshadowed under the Empyrean bone devil��s one comment.


    The only dazzling light was Ye Yuan!


    Zhou Yu��s pupils constricted. He wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into right now.


    He had always viewed Ye Yuan as an enemy. Only now did he understand that he did not have the qualifications to become Ye Yuan��s enemy at all.


    Ye Yuan��s complexion was rather pale. This sword practically drained his divine essence dry.


    ��Thank you very much for Senior��s praise!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    ��Do you still want to continue?�� The bone devil asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said firmly, ��Continue!��

 Chapter 1991 - Competing with Ancient Geniuses!

    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Clearly, they did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually continue challenging.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan already proved himself and did not need to take the risk anymore.


    But he actually chose to continue.


    But Song Yu��s expression changed, and he said anxiously, ��Brother Ye, you ����


    He was just about to speak, but then he was interrupted. Ye Yuan said, ��I promised Jian Sutao that I��ll definitely get this emperor bone for him.��


    On the faces of Song Yu, Guo Jingyang, and the rest, revealed doleful looks.


    They had never felt that they were so incompetent before!


    Ye Yuan choosing to continue, was Jian Sutao the reason?


    Definitely!


    But they understood in their hearts that Ye Yuan did it more so in order to protect them!


    If Ye Yuan gave up, under the Empyrean bone devil��s sword, all of them would have to die.


    No one could be spared.


    Then, was there danger with Ye Yuan continuing to challenge the Empyrean bone devil?


    Of course there was!


    They were too clear about Ye Yuan��s strength; just the Empyrean bone devil��s first sword move forced out Sword Hollow Etch this move. So how powerful were the two swords at the back?


    Unimaginable!


    The bone devil said coolly, ��You recover divine essence first then. The power of the second sword will exceed your imagination!��


    Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just nodded his head slightly, swallowed a medicinal pill on the spot, and tried to recover his divine essence as fast as he could.


    But the others had the jitters when they heard it. Exceeding their imagination; how strong was that?


    But very soon, they would see it.


    After half a day, Ye Yuan��s divine essence was recovered fully, causing another commotion.


    This recovery speed was a little too fast, right?


    Ye Yuan came before the bone devil and said with clasped hands, ��Senior, please make your move.��


    The bone devil nodded slightly, stabbing a sword out indifferently once more.


    Although his stance of stabbing the sword was exactly the same as before, everyone��s faces changed.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��


    Even though these children of destiny stood extremely far away, the sharpness exuding from the cutting edge of this sword still made them suffer serious injuries, all spurting fresh blood wildly.


    There was no earth-shaking divine essence undulation, but the places that the sword edge passed by, everything was buried in oblivion.


    This was the sword of death; it could annihilate everything!


    The first sword move was like a baby learning how to walk compared to this sword.


    And this was merely just displayed with the strength of a Second Firmament True God.


    At this moment, they did not doubt in the slightest that even if it was a Fifth Firmament True God powerhouse, they also absolutely could not escape by a fluke under this sword.


    They were very curious just what Ye Yuan would use to block this sword.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan also made his move!


    ��Sword Hollow Etch!��


    Still this move!


    This sword was indeed breathtaking, but under the Empyrean bone devil��s second sword, it also paled in comparison.


    Bang!


    After blocking for a moment, Ye Yuan��s Sword Hollow Etch was ultimately still annihilated.


    Then, the remaining momentum of the bone devil��s sword did not reduce, heading straight for Ye Yuan.


    ��Roar!��


    A heaven-shocking dragon roar rose to the sky. Golden light burst forth brilliantly on Ye Yuan��s body, his vitality billowed to the clouds.


    At the same time, the Qinghong Battle Armor was also completely activated, releasing a dazzling light.


    ��Nirvana Dao Profound Dragon Armor!��


    Ye Yuan roared, directly meeting the bone devil��s sword.


    Bang!


    The two collided together without any flashiness; the void was quaking.


    A streak of sword energy and a ball of golden light met squarely in the void, neither willing to give in.


    The two energies were both being rapidly depleted.


    The golden light on Ye Yuan��s body was dissipating at a rapid speed.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    ��What formidable defensive power! Ye Yuan he actually forcefully resisted this sword!��


    ��He �� He has the perfect sixth transformation golden body! Just how many trump cards does this guy have?��


    ��Defensive-type empyrean spirit treasure, perfect sixth transformation golden body, dragon race��s pinnacle defensive martial technique; this guy �� simply makes people go crazy!��


    ��


    At this moment, how could Ye Yuan still care about holding anything back? He displayed all of his trump cards in their entirety.


    In terms of defense, he was number one in the same rank.


    These three things added together, even if he stood there and let Fourth Firmament True Gods hit, Fourth Firmament True Gods still could not breach his defenses.


    Just this aspect, Ye Yuan was stronger than Zhou Yu by no idea how many times.


    But unfortunately, this sword move was not released by Zhou Yu, but the Empyrean Realm bone devil.


    Even if suppressed to a Second Firmament True God strength, even if Ye Yuan neutralized a portion of the force with Sword Hollow Etch, Ye Yuan still could not withstand this swift and fierce sword.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The light on Ye Yuan��s body directly dissipated, wildly spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, his body directly flying out several tens of thousands of feet like a kite with a broken string.


    Song Yu��s face changed. His figure moved, hurriedly going over to catch Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s body was already drenched by fresh blood.


    The power of this sword was utterly horrifying!


    ��Really received it!��


    ��Are my eyes failing me? He really succeeded!��


    ��If it were me, I��d probably be one-shotted immediately. Right?��


    ��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock, eyes full of incredulity.


    Such a terrifying sword was actually received by Ye Yuan.


    One had to know, they were two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan. But that trace of sword energy that leaked out seriously injured them!


    No wonder the Empyrean bone devil said that the power of this sword exceeded one��s imagination.


    Indeed far beyond imagination.


    ��Cough, cough, cough ����


    A bout of intense coughing sounds came over. Ye Yuan finally caught his breath.


    But the injuries of his internal organs were extremely heavy currently. He could not even stand up.


    Ever since he cultivated to the perfect sixth transformation golden body, he had yet to suffer such serious injuries before.


    The power of this sword indeed surpassed his imaginations.


    The bone devil looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Junior, you��re very decent. Your potential when put in this Empyrean��s era, is also an ordinary genius already. However �� it��s also merely just decent. You��re still quite a bit off from being a true genius. True geniuses can receive my third sword move. But you �� the second sword move is already your limit. No harm telling you then. The power of the third sword move is 50 times stronger than the second sword move!��


    Everyone was rendered speechless, from one shock, sinking into the midst of another shock.


    Ye Yuan receiving this sword already made them feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    But, from the Empyrean bone devil��s mouth, Ye Yuan��s talent was also merely thus!


    Merely �� just an ordinary genius!


    If Ye Yuan��s talent was merely an ordinary genius, then what would a true genius be like?


    These children of destiny were all from great imperial capitals. They understood in their hearts that Ye Yuan��s talent, when placed in Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, was likely also a peak existence.


    But, from the Empyrean bone devil��s mouth, he was actually just ordinary!


    Just how strong were the geniuses of that era?


    Truly a terrifying era!


    ��Senior, I �� want to challenge �� the third sword move!�� Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said feebly.


    ��What? He �� He still wants to challenge the third sword move, is he mad?��


    ��These should be his final trump cards, right? He was nearly almost killed just now! So it��s absolutely impossible for him to receive the third sword move!��


    ��The second sword is already powerful until it makes people despair. So how strong will the third sword move be?��


    ��


    Ye Yuan��s words made the group of children of destiny burst into an uproar.


    Even the Empyrean bone devil also determined that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to receive the third sword move anymore. This guy actually chose to receive the third sword without hesitation!


    Was this guy mad? Or was he tired of living?


    Could it be that he was triggered by this Empyrean bone devil?


    They guessed correctly!


    People should not look at how Ye Yuan normally had an appearance of not giving a crap about anything; the pride in his heart, no one could scorn it.


    Originally, he only wanted to protect Song Yu and the others.


    But now, he had a reason to receive the third sword move for himself!


    He wanted to cross space-time and compete with ancient geniuses!

 Chapter 1992 - Perfect Victory!

    ��He��s all healed? Could it be that what he ate was an immortal pill?��


    ��This recovery speed is also too fast, right? Previously, I saw that he clearly had an appearance like he was going to die, but now he��s healed in just three days?��


    ��


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan walk toward the Empyrean bone devil, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Three days ago, Ye Yuan could not even crawl to his feet.


    Three days later, he was completely fine.


    Just what kind of medicinal pill did this fellow eat?


    ��Senior, please make your move!�� Ye Yuan said with a scorching gaze.


    The bone devil looked at Ye Yuan quietly and slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Junior, you��ve already exhausted your potential. It��s impossible to receive the third sword move. This third sword move fused five kinds of laws. You��re simply unable to imagine its power.��


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    Five kinds of laws; was this really what human strength could accomplish?


    Could that era��s geniuses all be able to casually fused four or five kinds of laws?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need to say anymore. Senior, please make your move!��


    The bone devil said calmly, ��The doomsday battle buried too many things in oblivion. You��re not in the wrong. There��s no need for this kind of lame dignity at all. But since you wholeheartedly seek death, then this Empyrean will grant your wish. You watch closely.��


    Done talking, the Empyrean bone devil raised his sword once more.


    It was still the exact same posture. It was just that this time, it was ordinary to the extreme.


    It was as if the entire world became silent.


    Just raising the sword, Ye Yuan felt the scent of death hit him head-on.


    This sword move, one could not use words to describe it.


    Seeing extraordinary amidst ordinary, the sound of thunder between silence.


    Everything lied with the sword itself.


    This was an extremely profound utilization of Sword Dao. It was brilliant in every way!


    People who used the sword that could control it to such a level, Ye Yuan seldom saw it in his lifetime.


    It seemed like the other party was the same as him when he was alive, also employing other power of laws with Sword Dao, and reaching the pinnacle from there.


    It was just that, fusing four kinds of power of laws with Sword Dao was truly inconceivable.


    All of the children of destiny felt asphyxiated. They became wiser this time, staying far away from the center of the two people��s battle, in case they were implicated.


    Last time, it was just serious injuries and vomiting blood. This time, it was hard to say.


    The Empyrean bone devil said that the power of this sword move was 50 times stronger than the second sword move!


    This kind of increment could be rated as horrifying.


    They seriously could not imagine what Ye Yuan would rely on to withstand this third sword.


    But without a doubt, they all hoped for a miracle to appear.


    If Ye Yuan died under this sword, they would have to accept the bone devil��s three sword moves.


    Of the remaining people, who had the confidence to block the bone devil��s sword move?


    If Ye Yuan died, they would all have to die.


    But the problem was, could Ye Yuan block it?


    Just as they were questioning, the Empyrean bone devil unleashed his sword.


    This time, there was no sword energy. The Empyrean bone devil was going to approach him!


    The Empyrean bone devil gripped his sword, stabbing straight for Ye Yuan��s heart.


    But Ye Yuan did not move and did not even use Sword Hollow Etch.


    Gave up?


    Anyone knew that when the Empyrean bone devil��s sword arrived in front of Ye Yuan, that would be a heaven-shocking attack.


    Quicker than words could tell.


    Without even a blink of an eye, the Empyrean bone devil arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Careful, Brother Ye!��


    ��Brother Ye!��


    ��


    Song Yu and the rest did not know what Ye Yuan wanted to do. Seeing the situation, they turned pale with fright.


    Everyone cried out in shock, totally not knowing what Ye Yuan wanted to do.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    From Ye Yuan��s dantian area, countless blue fine threads crept out, tangling over toward the bone sword.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    The air gave off a series of detonating sounds. Places that the bone sword arrived at, the blue fine threads were actually broken.


    But, as the fine threads became more and more, the speed of the bone sword��s advancement also became slower and slower.


    ��This is �� Dao mark?��


    It was the Empyrean bone devil��s first time having a fluctuation in emotion.


    How could a Second Firmament True God possibly cultivate Dao mark?


    This sword��s power was too great. At first, the Dao marks could not tie it down at all.


    But later, the Dao marks became more and more, and increasingly denser.


    Finally, the bone sword was entangled.


    However, the Dao marks did not stop there. Instead, they continued creeping up, tangling over toward the bone devil.


    Gradually, the bone sword was unable to advance an inch further anymore.


    The Empyrean bone devil turned pale with fright, the force in his hand becoming stronger.


    Second Firmament True God became Third Firmament True God, then became Fourth Firmament True God.


    But, it still would not do!


    The aura on the Empyrean bone devil��s body became stronger and stronger. When it soared all the way to Seventh Firmament True God, finally, the blue fine threads broke with a snap!


    When at Ninth Firmament True God, Ye Yuan finally could not endure the Empyrean bone devil��s powerful strength and was blasted flying out.


    Everyone looked at this scene in tremendous shock. They were given a scare.


    Such a powerful Empyrean bone devil was actually forced to raise his cultivation realm in the end before he could break free of those blue fine threads.


    Where was the agreed-upon terrifying sword move?


    Where was the agreed-upon same cultivation realm?


    This third sword, the Empyrean bone devil was completely defeated!


    Ye Yuan did not even make a move yet and the Empyrean bone devil was defeated by Ye Yuan��s horrifying blue fine threads.


    This scene made everyone��s jaws drop. They looked toward Ye Yuan in incredible shock.


    The current Ye Yuan already slowly crawled up from the ground.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s ghostly-white eyes, everyone unwittingly felt a chill in their hearts.


    What an icy-cold pair of eyes this was!


    The current Ye Yuan, his disposition became like a different person from before.


    That pair of eyes seemed to overlook all life, not carrying the slightest emotion.


    Heavenly Dao!


    That was the aura of Heavenly Dao!


    How could a Second Firmament True God have such a terrifying aura on his body?


    ��You talked about how ancient geniuses were so and so; how the third sword was so and so. Looking at it now, it��s also merely thus,�� Ye Yuan looked at the bone devil coldly and said indifferently.


    Provocation!


    Ye Yuan was provoking here!


    He was provoking an Empyrean level powerhouse!


    Was this guy mad?


    However, using the Empyrean bone devil��s words against himself, Ye Yuan indeed made him slap his own face now.


    Ye Yuan did not only block this sword move. He even forced the Empyrean bone devil to raise his strength until reaching the Ninth Firmament True God Realm.


    This was equivalent to the Empyrean bone devil slapping his own face!


    Although they did not do it, these children of destiny actually had a liberating feeling.


    From the Empyrean bone devil��s mouth, ancient geniuses were merely able to barely manage to block the third sword move.


    But Ye Yuan already forced the Empyrean bone devil to raise his realm to the Ninth Firmament True God Realm.


    This proved that Ye Yuan��s talent was far more outstanding compared to ancient geniuses!


    The Empyrean bone devil used hollow eyes to stare at Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan used a cold pair of eyes to look at the Empyrean bone devil.


    Two uncommon eyes stared just like this, silently.


    After a long time, the Empyrean bone devil slowly said, ��I take back my words from before! True God Realm comprehending Dao mark, this sort of thing is unheard of. Your talent, people already can��t use common sense to judge it.��


    As he said those words, the Empyrean bone devil threw the bone sword in his hand. The bone sword flew toward Ye Yuan.


    Everyone��s faces changed drastically. The Empyrean bone devil actually yielded!


    ��This bone sword is yours. As for His Excellency��s emperor bone, you can bring it away too! Such a prodigy coming into existence, I��m afraid �� the next doomsday battle isn��t far already, right? Your Excellency, I��ve already completed my mission, and I should also rest.��


    After the Empyrean bone devil finished speaking, his entire body directly turned weathered, scattering and dispersing with the wind.


    Ye Yuan put away the bone sword expressionlessly and slowly walked over toward the top of the bone mountain.


    On the summit, the Qilin emperor bone gave off waves of light halo, stirring people��s souls.

 Chapter 1993 - : What is That Anyway?

    Ye Yuan walked up the steps, the pressure on his body becoming greater and greater.


    Emperor bone, even if it was an emperor bone that had been through countless years of baptism, it still had his pride.


    Ye Yuan��s pair of white eyes did not carry the slightest emotion as he said coldly, ��Past glory had long already vanished like mist and smoke. You still want to make a show of power after death? The past is already over, so let it be!��


    On Ye Yuan��s body, Dao marks twined around. This pressure was not worth mentioning to him at all.


    Before long, Ye Yuan arrived at the summit of the bone mountain.


    Before his eyes was a complete Qilin emperor bone.


    Ye Yuan was rippleless like an ancient well and reached his hand out to grab. Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    ��Immobilize!��


    A voice sounded out from the void. Powerful power of laws entangled over toward Ye Yuan frenziedly, completely binding the space around him.


    ��Hahaha! Ye Yuan, it��s been hard on you along the way. This emperor bone, I��ll accept it!��


    Liu Yi��s figure emerged, looking at Ye Yuan with a smug face.


    Everyone was struck dumb with stupefaction by this sudden turn of events. No one could have thought that there was actually still someone hiding in the void.


    This was truly the mantis stalking the cicada, being unaware of the oriole behind.


    Except, how on earth did he do it?


    ��It��s Liu Yi that damn fellow! He �� He��s actually already the Fifth Firmament True God Realm.�� Guo Jingyang stared at that figure, shocked and enraged.


    Just these short few months of not seeing him, Liu Yi actually already broke through to become a Fifth Firmament True God. It was simply outrageous.


    Song Yu��s eyes spewed fire as he said, ��This guy must have swallowed all of the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruits! Damn thing! I didn��t expect that this guy still had such means of concealment. I really underestimated him!��


    It was also too late for them to rush over now. For Liu Yi, the emperor bone was within easy reach.


    Moreover, that area of space was already constrained, they could not break through at all.


    ��Damn it, really damn it! Could it be that we��re going to helplessly watch this guy snatch away the emperor bone just like that?�� Hu Fei said with an unwilling face.


    ��Heh heh, so what if he received three swords? In the end, isn��t the emperor bone still snatched away by others?�� Zhou Yu had a cold smile on his face.


    Seeing Ye Yuan being intercepted, Zhou Yu was delighted in his heart.


    ��Ye Yuan, didn��t expect it, right? Apart from the Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman, this old man even has High Clarity Void Escape Talismans. You guarded against this old man in every manner along the way. In the end, weren��t you still schemed against by this old man? Heh heh, obtaining this emperor bone, this old man will definitely be able to reach the emperor surmounting aura. The realm of Heavenly Emperor will no longer be delusions of grandeur for this old man!��


    Liu Yi looked at Ye Yuan, being incredibly pleased with himself.


    He had never thought that he would actually have the chance to break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor one day.


    At the thought of this, he was extremely excited.


    Finished talking, he reached his hand out and grabbed at that Qilin emperor bone.


    But right at this time, a ray of light bloomed from the emperor bone. Liu Yi��s figure was directly blasted flying out like a cannon shell.


    His expression changed, and he muttered, ��How �� How can this be?��


    However, a scene that made him even more shocked appeared.


    The Ye Yuan who was originally restrained actually slowly opened up his footsteps, walked in front of the emperor bone, and slowly picked up the emperor bone.


    Liu Yi seemed to have seen a ghost, exclaiming in shock, ��This �� How is this possible? My Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman, no one should be able to resolve it within True God Realm!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Liu Yi with a cold face and said coolly, ��Foolish thing, the emperor bone has spirituality. Since he let the Empyrean bone devil test us and I passed the test, it naturally acknowledged me as his master. As for your Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman, what is that anyway?��


    Ye Yuan who was under the white-pupil state had the Divine Vestige Space all around him, being untainted by myriad laws.


    How could a mere Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman really immobilize Ye Yuan?


    Not just Liu Yi, Song Yu and the rest were also shocked to the extreme.


    They had all been immobilized by this Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman before. That feeling of powerlessness virtually made them despair.


    But Ye Yuan was actually not affected at all?


    Liu Yi still had one last Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman left. He had long planned it out, just waiting for this final moment to pillage destiny.


    Who could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually not affected at all?


    From start to end, he was just a clown jumping around!


    ��Last time, you snatched the Profound Heaven Single Breath Fruit. You were lucky that you ran fast. This time, just nice. We can settle the accounts.�� Ye Yuan looked at Liu Yi, not having the slightest emotion.


    A hint of viciousness suddenly flashed across in Liu Yi��s gaze, and he said with a cold smile, ��Settle the accounts? With just the likes of you, a Second Firmament True God? I know that you��re very impressive, but I��m a Fifth Firmament True God right now! What do you have to settle the scores with me?��


    Suddenly, a ghost claw appeared in Liu Yi��s hand. It was shockingly an empyrean spirit treasure.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have not seen it, slowly walking over toward Liu Yi.


    This Ye Yuan made Liu Yi feel extremely uneasy.


    That icy-cold feeling made him feel like he was virtually going to be frozen stiff.


    He gritted his teeth and snapped. ��Extreme Nether Deathsoul Claw!��


    A horrifying aura of death instantly erupted.


    A cloud of black gas suddenly rumbled over toward Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan still did not have the slightest movement.


    Blue fine threads extended out, colliding together with that cloud of black gas very quickly.


    That cloud of black gas seemed to have seen a ghost, immediately vanishing into thin air.


    Liu Yi��s eyes became wide-saucers, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    What the hell were these blue fine threads?


    Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Yi turned tail and ran.


    Except, it was already too late.


    The divine marks�� speed of extending was even faster than he imagined.


    In a blink of an eye, he was engulfed inside the Divine Vestige Space.


    ��Welcome to my world!��


    Liu Yi��s pupils constricted, his face looking bewildered and lost as he said, ��Your �� Your world?��


    Liu Yi was not foreign to small worlds.


    But Ye Yuan��s world, he had never seen before.


    How could there be such a small world?


    He attempted to use his ability and deploy his world power.


    But he discovered to his astonishment that his world power was actually unable to release outside of his body in this place!


    ��This �� This �� What the hell kind of place is this?�� Liu Yi became more and more alarmed and terrified in his heart.


    In this place, he was just like a mortal.


    No, wait, even less than a mortal.


    Ye Yuan said, ��You don��t need to know. You just have to know that your so-called destiny is �� nothing in front of me! Now, you can go and die already.��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s finger pointed toward him. Liu Yi directly exploded into nothingness.


    When his figure appeared again, Liu Yi already evaporated into thin air.


    When the others saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked speechless.


    Song Yu and the rest were wildly elated, sprinting over in a few steps.


    ��Brother Ye, where��s Liu Yi?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Dead.��


    Song Yu laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, I knew it! This wretched grandson wouldn��t have a good outcome! Brother Ye, really nice means, to actually be able to even easily resolve the Chaos Origin Immobilizing Talisman.��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coldly, ��Paltry tricks, nothing to be feared.��


    Being given this glance by Ye Yuan, Song Yu had a feeling of plunging into an ice cellar.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Song Yu. His figure moved, speeding straight into the distance.

 Chapter 1994 - Profound Secrets’ Attention

    ��Brother Ye!��


    The expressions of Song Yu and the rest changed, hurriedly chasing after Ye Yuan.


    He suddenly felt that this Ye Yuan in front of him became so unfamiliar.


    ��Brother Ye, where are you going?��


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was extremely fast. Song Yu and the rest actually could not catch up and could only shout from behind.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s footsteps stopped, and he said in a cold voice, ��Stop following me. Otherwise, don��t blame me for turning my back on old friends.��


    The figures of Song Yu and the rest turned stiff, looking at Ye Yuan in somewhat disbelievingly.


    Was �� this still that Ye Yuan they knew?


    Watching Ye Yuan left, Song Yu and the rest did not dare to stop him.


    This Ye Yuan before their eyes was too horrifying and too cold. If they had followed, he would probably kill them without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Brother Song, what��s wrong with Brother Ye?�� Guo Jingyang asked puzzledly.


    Song Yu��s expression was rather ugly as he said in a solemn voice, ��Brother Ye��s cultivation method is indeed exceptionally rare, to even be able to disregard cultivation realm and instantly kill his opponent. But �� it seems to have considerable side-effects and will affect one��s temperament.��


    Guo Jingyang��s face changed and he said, ��This �� What to do about this? He wouldn��t keep going like this, right?��


    Song Yu shook his head and said, ��Of course not. But if he keeps on cultivating like this, he��ll probably become a peerless powerhouse without the slightest emotion in the end!��


    The other few people��s expressions were all very ugly when they heard it. They already treated Ye Yuan as a sworn friend for life and death and were very worried about Ye Yuan.


    ��This �� Then is it really fine for us to let him leave just like that?�� Hu Fei asked worriedly.


    ��Relax, you saw his strength too. To be able to force the Empyrean bone devil to raise his realm to the Ninth Firmament True God Realm, ordinary dangers can��t do anything to him at all. Moreover, even if he��s like this now, he also wouldn��t possibly push himself onto the road to ruin. In fact, I feel that he might be calmer than ever under this state,�� Song Yu said with a sigh.


    The rest were speechless for a while and actually did not know what to do.


    ��Brother Song, then what should we do now?�� Guo Jingyang asked.


    Song Yu thought about it and said, ��The matter here is pretty much settled. So let��s return to the circle and wait for Brother Ye.��


    ��


    Three months later, Ye Yuan finally returned to the circle.


    When Song Yu and the rest saw Ye Yuan, each and every one of them was extremely excited.


    ��Brother Ye, you��re back! You worried us to death these few months!�� Hu Fei said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Sorry, I��ve made everyone worry.��


    By the side, Song Yu suddenly said in surprise, ��Brother Ye, you broke through again?��


    Not seeing for a short three months, Ye Yuan actually grew stronger by another minor realm.


    At present, he already reached the peak Third Firmament Origin Pill Realm and was only a step away from the Fourth Firmament Origin Pill Realm.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I had another fortuitous encounter these few months and broke through by a fluke.��


    Song Yu also discerned that Ye Yuan did not seem to be willing to talk too much about the events of these few months. So he also shut his mouth sensibly.


    But Ye Yuan��s realm increasing still gave him a shock.


    Song Yu these few people understood that the implications of Ye Yuan breaking through a minor realm was that he was no longer the same person like in the past.


    The current Ye Yuan dealing with Fifth Firmament True God powerhouses, it would likely be a cinch too.


    After returning to the circle, everything settled down.


    Ye Yuan observed for a bit. The children of destiny that returned to the circle safely were already less than one in ten.


    Although this Ancient God Battlefield was teeming with lucky chances, it was also extremely dangerous.


    But those able to return mostly had great improvements in strength, their auras more than a level stronger compared to before.


    In the crowd, Ye Yuan even saw a familiar figure. It was Zhou Yu.


    Zhou Yu��s gaze was also sizing Ye Yuan up. Discovering that Ye Yuan looked over, he immediately turned his head over and did not dare to meet his eyes.


    For the current Zhou Yu, his heart was pounding away.


    He was afraid, afraid of Ye Yuan coming to find trouble with him.


    Zhou Yu did not expect that just three months passed and Ye Yuan directly grew stronger by a minor realm.


    When Ye Yuan was at the Second Firmament True God Realm, he was already not a match. Now, he was naturally even less of a match.


    If Ye Yuan was bent on finding trouble with him, he would not be able to bear the consequences.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan just gave him a glance and did not have the intention of coming over to find trouble with him. Only then did he let out a long sigh in relief.


    Since entering Ancient God Battlefield until now, around one and a half year��s time had passed. The remaining time, everyone each entered meditation, waiting for the end to end.


    Of course, there were still some children of destiny who kept seeking lucky chances outside, returning to the circle one after another.


    In a blink, the three years limit was up. That Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s voice sounded out once more.


    ��Congratulations to all of your children of destiny, reaping bountiful harvests in the Ancient God Battlefield. However, I hope that everyone remembers my Jian Family��s kindness. In the future, if my Jian Family has any requests, I hope that everyone doesn��t turn it down!��


    ��Lord Heavenly Emperor is too courteous. The Jian Family��s matter is my matter!��


    ��Lord Heavenly Emperor rest assured!��


    ��Definitely, definitely!��


    ��


    The group of children of destiny hurriedly said.


    Following that, that Heavenly Emperor powerhouse continued saying, ��After you all experienced this, your destinies should undergo a change once again. After going back, let your city lords view it. Alright, let��s say goodbye here.��


    Hearing this, everyone had excited looks on their faces.


    The vast majority of them were imperial aura. Emperor surmounting auras were just a minority after all.


    If they could evolve to emperor surmounting aura, then they would have hopes of breaking through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future.


    That would be a massive good fortune to them.


    After all, at great imperial capital this level, wanting to break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor was far too difficult!


    In the crowd, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, because he felt that the Heavenly Emperor was currently paying attention to him.


    It seemed like his perception was not wrong. He really caught the attention of the Jian Family and even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    But he did not express anything, waiting for the Ancient God Battlefield to close the same as the rest.


    Everyone was currently rejoicing, only to see a light flash and the circle directly disappeared. Everyone was sent into the passageway.


    ��


    At the Profound Secrets Bodhimanda, Jian Yunxin bowed to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and said, ��Father, that little fellow called Ye Yuan obtained the Qilin emperor bone inside the Ancient God Battlefield this time. In addition �� he even made a trip to Crape Myrtle Cave.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s brows raised up and he said in surprise, ��Crape Myrtle Cave is the place where Heavenly Emperor Crape Myrtle died. Fellow Daoist Crape Myrtle was a well-renown Transcendent Heavenly Emperor in the last epoch. Inside the Crape Myrtle Cave is full of dangers. He, a True God, actually entered the Crape Myrtle Cave? Also, he could block Empyrean Vast Universe��s three sword moves; it shows that his talent is also similar to the geniuses of the last epoch!��


    Jian Yunxin clearly also felt that it was incredulous and said, ��Indeed so. Jian Rong has been constantly observing this little fellow. After he obtained the Qilin emperor bone, he entered the Crape Myrtle Cave alone. It��s just that that place shields against all probing. So Jian Rong was unable to find out just what that little fellow did inside too.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded his head and said, ��Even if this emperor went, I��d also be unable to investigate the situation inside Crape Myrtle Cave, let alone talk about Jian Rong. This little fellow is really getting more and more interesting.��


    Jian Yunxin thought about it and said, ��Father, Jian Rong also discovered an interesting thing.��

 Chapter 1995 - Burning Hot

    ��Oh? Say it! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said curiously.


    ��When that Ye Yuan received Empyrean Vast Universe��s third sword move, Ye Yuan actually forced him to raise his realm to Ninth Firmament True God Realm before defeating Ye Yuan. And after that, Ye Yuan seemed to have a great change in disposition, heading to Crape Myrtle Cave all by himself.��


    Jian Yunxin clearly knew about Ye Yuan��s affairs like the back of his hand.


    When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets heard, he indeed revealed an astonished expression.


    ��The Ninth Firmament True God Realm? What formidable means! Even this emperor also wasn��t this heaven-defying back then. Just what kind of deity is this kid? However, a great change in disposition also shows that his cultivation method has a problem. Furthermore, the problem isn��t small. Whether or not he can achieve greatness in the future, it is something unknown,�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets exclaimed with admiration.


    Jian Yunxin nodded and said, ��This child feels this way too. However, if Father is interested in him, why not do a divination?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Do you think that I didn��t perform a divination before? This child can��t be fathomed!��


    Jian Yunxin��s pupils constricted, incredibly shocked in his heart.


    ��Alright, this matter ends here. The world shall soon change. I hope that my Jian Family can tide over this tribulation safely.�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets sighed lightly and walked away with his hands behind his back.


    ��


    Inside Virtuous Wind Establishment, Jian Sutao looked at Ye Yuan five people, being rather surprised in his heart.


    With the Ancient God Battlefield opening up this time, their Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital actually had more than half return!


    In the past years, being able to have two or three people returning was already pretty good.


    Being completely wiped out was also not something impossible.


    In reality, with the Ancient God Battlefield opening up this time, many great imperial capitals�� children of destiny did not have a single one come back.


    This time, not only did five return, furthermore, each and every one of these five had great improvements in strength.


    Especially Song Yu, he already reached peak Fourth Firmament True God.


    The other three people also all broke through to Fourth Firmament True God.


    Even Ye Yuan also broke through two minor realms in one go.


    One could say that it was a happy ending situation.


    ��Looks like you all had considerable harvests in the Ancient God Battlefield this time!�� Jian Sutao said.


    Song Yu smiled and said, ��It was all thanks to Brother Ye along the way. If not for him, we��d likely have been completely annihilated. Oh, right, when we��re coming back, that Lord Heavenly Emperor said that our destinies all had changes. I wonder if City Lord can take a look for us?��


    Jian Sutao nodded his head and said, ��Naturally can.��


    As he said, he mustered up the aura viewing art and looked towards Song Yu and the rest.


    Of course, he deliberately avoided Ye Yuan.


    He did not dare to look.


    It was alright if he did not look, but one look and he jumped in fright.


    When Song Yu saw Jian Sutao��s expression, he asked doubtfully, ��What��s wrong, City Lord?��


    Jian Sutao clicked his tongue in wonder and said, ��Strange! Really strange! Making a trip to the Ancient God Battlefield, you all actually advanced to emperor surmounting aura? Let me take a look again.��


    As he said, he mustered up the aura viewing art again and examined them closely again.


    The four people��s destinies had indeed broken through to the emperor surmounting aura.


    This was incredible! Within the entire great imperial capital, four emperor surmounting auras actually appeared all at once. This was one of its kind.


    As for Song Yu and the rest, each and every one of them was extremely excited.


    Song Yu originally had a peak imperial aura. He was an existence only a step away from reaching the emperor surmounting aura.


    Breaking through to the emperor surmounting aura was something within reason.


    But the rest made Jian Sutao greatly surprised.


    Of course, they themselves were also extremely surprised.


    Among the three people, Guo Jingyang and Middle-stage both had late-stage imperial auras. Hu Fei merely had a middle-stage imperial aura.


    Who could have thought that even Hu Fei became emperor surmounting aura?


    Although the Ancient God Battlefield is a good place to change one��s destiny, such a big transformation wouldn��t occur too! Emperor surmounting aura isn��t some cabbage. More often than not, 100 great imperial capitals can��t produce one emperor surmounting aura too. But now, four popped out all at once. Counting in Ye Yuan, it��s five! This �� Hang on, could it be that �� the problem lies with Ye Yuan? Jian Sutao was speculating about this in his mind.


    Thinking like this, he felt that it was very likely.


    Jian Sutao discovered that all the people who got close to Ye Yuan seemed to have massive changes to their destinies.


    Just take Jian Hongxiao for example; he originally should not have the chance to return to the Stellar Hall already.


    Who knew that not only did he come back, he even broke through to the Empyrean Realm!


    This destiny was simply heaven-defying.


    The more Jian Sutao thought, the more he felt that the probability was very high.


    One had to know, their ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, was such an existence with extremely heaven-defying destiny.


    Hence, the Jian Family became one of this Heavenspan World��s top major family clans.


    Even those Transcendent Heavenly Emperors also had to give some face when seeing the Jian Family��s members.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was actually such an existence?


    The more Jian Sutao thought, the more alarmed he got, and the more curious he became. Just what kind of magical power did this Ye Yuan have on him, to actually be able to have such tremendous influence?


    Except, he did not dare to look!


    Whenever he gave rise to the thought of viewing Ye Yuan��s aura, a feeling of immense danger would well up in his heart.


    ��City Lord, I �� I really broke through to the emperor surmounting aura?�� Hu Fei said with an upsurge of excitement.


    Jian Sutao said in a solemn voice, ��Why? Do you doubt this empyrean?��


    Hu Fei hurriedly said, ��Dare not, dare not! It��s just �� I don��t quite dare to believe it. Thank you very much, City Lord!��


    Jian Sutao nodded his head and said, ��You all go out. Ye Yuan stay.��


    Song Yu and the rest knew that Jian Sutao did it for the emperor bone and left very sensibly.


    After the few people left, Ye Yuan took out the emperor bone. A powerful aura immediately teemed the entire Virtuous Wind Establishment.


    Jian Sutao��s gaze turned intent, and he said agitatedly, ��It��s indeed the Qilin emperor bone! You �� You actually really brought it out!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said with a cold smile, ��City Lord really knew how to plan things! Don��t you tell me that you didn��t know who was watching over this Qilin emperor bone?��


    On this trip, Ye Yuan could be said to have had a narrow shave.


    This Qilin emperor bone was not what True God Realm martial artists could get at all.


    This Jian Sutao was simply digging a pit for him.


    It was not just him. Those children of destiny who went to the Bone Devil Ridge also fell for the scheme.


    If they knew that there would be an Empyrean bone devil guarding the Qilin emperor bone, they would not go even if beaten to death.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was very angry right now.


    Him being able to get the Qilin emperor bone did not mean that he was not angry.


    Jian Sutao��s face was also thick. He just said coolly, ��What? Do you want to go back on your word?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said calmly, ��Not to the extent of going back on my word. I, Ye Yuan, am a man of my word. This Qilin emperor bone is naturally for you. It��s just that I don��t know if you have that ability to take it or not.��


    Jian Sutao smiled and said, ��You don��t need you to worry about this. Just an emperor bone, so how could this Empyrean fail to suppress it?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and casually threw the emperor bone to the other party.


    Jian Sutao reached his hand out to catch, his state of mind agitated.


    But soon enough, his expression changed.


    ��Ouch!��


    Jian Sutao cried out strangely, directly throwing the emperor bone out.


    A charred smell came over. It turned out that his palm was already burned into black charcoal.


    This Qilin emperor bone was burning hot!

 Chapter 1996 - Destined to Meet but Not Fated to Be Together

    ��Damn it, what trickery did you play?�� Jian Sutao glared at Ye Yuan as he said.


    Ye Yuan just said coolly, ��You��re also looking down on me, Ye Yuan, too much. The things that I, Ye Yuan, promised, I��d never go back on my word. I said it before; take it if you have the ability.��


    Jian Sutao gritted his teeth and said, ��I don��t believe that I can��t deal with a dead person��s bone!��


    Done talking, Jian Sutao��s Empyrean pressure suddenly released. Raising his hand, a streak of divine essence fired out, enveloping the emperor bone.


    The power of an Empyrean was formidable to the extreme. Ye Yuan who was by the side had a deathly pale complexion.


    But right at this time, the emperor bone radiated a brilliant light and gave off a gentle, but powerful energy, which actually pushed Jian Sutao��s Empyrean pressure back.


    Jian Sutao��s face changed, and then the divine essence in his palm increased more in power.


    However, this gentle energy was like a spring; the more he exerted strength, the greater the rebound force.


    Bang!


    Jian Sutao finally could not bear it and was directly sent flying by this powerful force.


    Then, that Qilin emperor bone slowly flew up and actually automatically returned to Ye Yuan��s hand.


    Jian Sutao��s expression was very ugly. At this point, how could he still not understand that this was the emperor bone having its own will, not willing to follow him?


    Except, he was very perplexed. This Qilin emperor bone had already existed for God knows how many billions of years. Why would it still have such terrifying energy?


    Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said coolly, ��You calculated everything and had children of destiny seize the emperor bone for you. But you didn��t expect that only someone acknowledged by the emperor bone can take it away, right?��


    Jian Sutao��s expression was very ugly. A trace of fresh blood dripping down from the corners of his mouth. His internal organs already sustained injuries.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��What an insolent brat! Do you really think that this Empyrean doesn��t dare to touch you?��


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, ��It��s not that I��m looking down on you, but you really don��t dare to touch me. When I entered the Ancient God Battlefield this time, that Heavenly Emperor powerhouse of your Jian Family was constantly spying on me. Now, I reckon that even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also knows all about my actions inside the Ancient God Battlefield. If my conjectures are right, Profound Secrets Bodhimanda��s order is already on its way.��


    Jian Sutao smiled dismissively and said, ��You��re using Ancestor Profound Secrets to intimidate me? Huhu, putting this aside, how can the spying of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse be what you, a mere True God Realm, can detect?��


    The spying of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, ordinary martial artists naturally could not discover it.


    But the cultivation method that Ye Yuan cultivated was extremely special, pointing straight at the source of Great Dao. He was very sensitive to this kind of spying.


    Otherwise, he would not have discovered Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s spying too.


    Even though it was just a trace of blurry feel, this feeling constantly existed since entering the Ancient God Battlefield. This clearly indicated that someone was continuing to spy on him.


    And in the Ancient God Battlefield, who else had this ability apart from Jian Rong?


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart that since the Jian Family��s upper echelons paid attention to him, then they absolutely would not deal a killing blow to him.


    The Jian Family members�� curiosity was very strong.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said smilingly, ��Don��t your Jian Family believe in fate the most? Then with your judgment of me, do you feel that I��d be such a short-lived person?��


    Jian Sutao could not help choking when he heard that.


    That was right. Although he could not directly use the aura viewing art on Ye Yuan, he could feel Ye Yuan��s exuberance to the extreme destiny. It absolutely did not look short-lived.


    This point, even Jian Hongxiao could detect it. As the Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s master, studying the mysteries of good fortune, how could he not be able to feel it?


    Could it be that �� what Ye Yuan said was true?


    Speaking of it was coincidental too.


    Right at this time, Jian Sutao��s mind stirred, and actually received a voice transmission.


    This transmission was actually �� personally relayed by Heavenly Emperor Yunshang!


    Jian Sutao��s shock was by no means trivial.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment, his eyes full of disbelief.


    Who was Heavenly Emperor Yunshang?


    That was one of the Jian Family��s ancestors, a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor super powerhouse!


    Although Jian Sutao was a powerhouse of a region too, compared to Heavenly Emperor Yunshang, he was nothing!


    Heavenly Emperor Yunshang was Ancestor Profound Secrets��s biological son!


    Ancestor Profound Secrets had lived for countless millions of years; his offspring was numerous.


    But those that could live until now like him could be counted on one hand.


    This Heavenly Emperor Yunshang was one of the remaining few with great accomplishments!


    With Heavenly Emperor Yunshang personally passing on the voice transmission, what did that represent?


    It represented that Ancestor Profound Secrets might really be paying close attention to Ye Yuan!


    This �� How was this possible?


    ��Sutao, this emperor bone isn��t fated with our Jian Family. So don��t make things difficult for Ye Yuan because of this. Additionally, you and Hongxiao have to pay closer attention to this child. Understood?��


    Heavenly Emperor Yunshang��s words directly sounded out inside Jian Sutao��s mind


    ��Yes, Sutao understood!��


    Jian Sutao had a solemn look, immediately answering in his mind.


    There was just this one sentence and Heavenly Emperor Yunshang did not make any more sound.


    Opposite of him, when Ye Yuan saw Jian Sutao��s entire body tremble, he instantly understood.


    He did not expect that this piece of instruction came right in the nick of time.


    Everything before was all his conjectures. Him saying these naturally had some intention of intimidating the other party.


    But now, all of his guesses were confirmed.


    It seemed like the one that paid attention to him inside the passageway was really Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    Jian Sutao stared at Ye Yuan. He was unable to calm down his emotion for a long time.


    This boy was truly freakish to the point of making people speechless.


    The prying of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, even he was also unable to detect it. So how did this boy know?


    Also, even if Heavenly Emperor Jian Rong spied on him, how did he know that he was being followed by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets?


    If Jian Rong��s spying was detected by him, he could still understand it.


    But who was Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets?


    In this Heavenspan World, those able to compete with Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets absolutely did not surpass the number of fingers on both hands.


    His might was affirmed through countless years.


    A True God Realm like Ye Yuan, just what kind of capital did he rely on to detect Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s prying into?


    Also, what kind of being was Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets?


    This art of prying into heaven��s secrets was created by his elderly self.


    If he was curious about Ye Yuan, wouldn��t he perform a divination himself?


    Or was it that even Ancestor Profound Secrets could not divine Ye Yuan��s destiny too?


    This �� This was simply inconceivable.


    The suspicion in Jian Sutao��s heart became increasingly stronger. The more he thought, the more alarmed he got; the more he thought, the more curious he got.


    His curiosity was like a cat scratching, almost scratching his heart into pieces.


    However, he really did not dare to spy on Ye Yuan!


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan who looked at Jian Sutao with an unperturbed look and said coolly, ��Looks like you��ve already received the news. I can only tell you that you��re destined to meet this emperor bone but not fated to be together.��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Jian Sutao could not resist spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    For the sake of this Qilin emperor bone, he waited for no idea how many tens of thousands of years. But in the end, it was obtained by this brat.


    The key was that the higher ups even issued a death-order to not get involved with this thing anymore.


    Except, if it was gone, it was gone. But could Ye Yuan freaking not �� show off his cleverness after what had happened?


    Jian Sutao regretted it until his intestines were green now. If he had long known, he would not have let Ye Yuan enter the Ancient God Battlefield.


    Now, things were great, it all became a wedding gift for Ye Yuan.


    But then again, could it be that this was also foreordained by the heavens?

 Chapter 1997 - Denounce Crimes Publicly

    ��Haha! Congratulations to Brother Hongxiao for achieving the realm of an Empyrean, truly to be congratulated!��


    When Ye Yuan saw Jian Hongxiao, he had a joyful face.


    Not seeing him for three years, Jian Hongxiao was already an Empyrean Realm powerhouse now.


    ��Huhu, stop making fun of your elder brother. Becoming an Empyrean, half of the credit goes to you!�� Jian Hongxiao said with a big laugh.


    The current Jian Hongxiao was full of high spirits. He did not look old and decrepit like when Ye Yuan saw him for the first time.


    The backlash of Heavenly Dao was already completely dispelled. Breaking through to the Empyrean Realm, he had a lot of longevity added out of the blue.


    The current Jian Hongxiao was no longer that mopey Extreme Light Imperial City��s Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord.


    Seeing Jian Hongxiao like this now, Ye Yuan also felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart.


    ��Brother Hongxiao not only returned to the peak now, but you also even improved a step further. This Ye can also set my mind at ease. Coming today, it��s firstly to visit Brother Hongxiao. Secondly, it��s to say goodbye to Brother Hongxiao,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Jian Hongxiao��s face changed when he heard that and said, ��Why? Leaving already?��


    Ye Yuan and said, ��Heavenly Eagle Imperial City that side isn��t stable yet. I can��t set my heart at ease. I better to go back as soon as possible.��


    Jian Hongxiao also felt touched in his heart when he heard it. Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was newly set up. However, Ye Yuan immediately put down the matters over there just for the sake of coming to repay gratitude.


    For him, Ye Yuan even did not hesitate to enter the Ancient God Battlefield, experiencing life and death.


    Jian Hongxiao understood in his heart. People should not look at how Ye Yuan broke through two minor realms in a row inside the Ancient God Battlefield in a simple manner. This was because the dangers that he experienced were definitely unimaginable too.


    He was once the Stellar Hall��s elder and naturally knew the dangers of the Ancient God Battlefield. An entire force being completely wiped out, this sort of thing, often happened in the history of Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital.


    Jian Hongxiao heaved a sigh and said, ��Then I won��t hold you back. When I��m free later, I��ll go to Heavenly Eagle to visit you.��


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said smilingly, ��Brother Hongxiao, you have to keep your word.��


    ��


    Inside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s City Lord Manor��s hall, two men, one woman, and three youngsters were sitting.


    Below them, City Lord Zuo Shujie, Coldfeather, and the rest were kneeling on the ground.


    That young man on the left-hand side said with a cold smile, ��Zuo Shujie, your Southridge Ten Cities gained autonomy and claimed kingship, disrespecting my Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. How do you plead?��


    This young man was called Deng Wei, the number one genius of the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Deng Family.


    Placed in the entire Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, he was also a first-rate existence.


    The man on the right-hand side was called Dai Yang, the number one genius of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Dai Family.


    As for that cold beauty in the middle, she was the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s City Lord Manor��s number one genius, Lu Ziyi.


    The number one geniuses of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s three major families actually all gathered at Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Facing these three great geniuses, Zuo Shujie did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    These three people were clearly representing the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital to come and denounce them for their crimes.


    Right now, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s situation was equivalent to carving out a place within the scope of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s jurisdiction, carving out territory and claiming kingship.


    How could Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital possibly permit this sort of thing to happen.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was not a place like Extreme Light Imperial City that no one dared to provoke.


    Zuo Shujie thought that with the Southridge Ten Nations being far away from the central authority, they would not intervene. Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital might not even take notice.


    But who knew that after several decades, the news still leaked out.


    ��This �� three lords are mistaken. We �� How can our Southridge Ten Cities possibly show disrespect to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital? Lord Ye Yuan is just Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s patrolling inspector. We��re a city under Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s command!�� Zuo Shujie said.


    Deng Wei smiled coldly and said, ��Do you take the three of us to be fools? Can Yu Wenfeng still govern you all now?��


    Zuo Shujie panicked in his heart but still said, ��Naturally can be governed.


    Deng Wei could not help choking when he heard that and said with a cold smile, ��Heh, looks like �� you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Do you think that with this young master��s identity, I still need any evidence to kill you, a puny little imperial city��s city lord?��


    Finished talking, the aura on Deng Wei��s body skyrocketed, terrifying True God Realm pressure suddenly erupted.


    How could Zuo Shujie, a mere Fourth Firmament Celestial Deity, be able to block such a terrifying energy undulation? The bones in his body were crushed until they burst apart.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Zuo Shujie and the rest directly spewed out a large mouthful of blood, already sustaining extremely serious injuries.


    On the seat of honor, Lu Ziyi opened her mouth and said coolly, ��Alright, they merely take orders from people. The perpetrator hasn��t appeared yet, so killing them is also useless.��


    Deng Wei gave a cold snort and said, ��These lowly things! Not giving them a bit of color, they don��t know my prowess! Come, men! Detain these few people into the dungeons for me. Once that Ye Yuan comes back, Detain him away along with the rest!��


    Under the word of command, quite a few armored soldiers came in from outside. They were shockingly all peak True God Realm strength.


    But there was no need for them to take action anymore, Zuo Shujie and the rest were all hanging in there with a breath now. Not dying was already pretty good.


    After dealing with them, Dai Yang said with a cold snort, ��These guys are more stubborn one after another. I��m afraid that they have succumbed to that Ye Yuan��s influence! I��m very curious now, whether that kid called Ye Yuan has three heads and six arms or not!��


    Deng Wei faced the Lu Ziyi in the seat of honor with a fawning smile and said, ��Miss Ziyi, what should we do next?��


    Lu Ziyi said coolly, ��Everyone that has connections to Ye Yuan, throw them all into the dungeons! When that Ye Yuan returns, detain him and bring him to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital along with the others.��


    Deng Wei and Dai Yang exchanged a glance, both secretly surprised in their hearts.


    Although this Lu Ziyi was a woman, her methods were not an ordinary kind of cruel!


    This way, it was equivalent to rounding up the Southridge Ten Cities in one fell swoop.


    ��But, there are still two True God Realm powerhouses in this city. That First Firmament True God isn��t a problem. But that Fourth Firmament True God is likely not easy to deal with!�� Deng Wei looked at Lu Ziyi meaningfully and said.


    Lu Ziyi slowly stood up and said coolly, ��Leave that Fourth Firmament True God to me. The others, you guys go and take care of it. If anyone resists, directly kill them!��


    ��


    At this time, Bai Chen, White Light, Ning Tianping, and the rest were all gathered together.


    ��These people aren��t here with good intentions!�� Bai Chen said with a frown.


    Lu Ziyi and the rest were all middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses. He was not a match for them at all.


    White Light��s expression changed, and he said, ��Who cares! If really can��t work it out, fight it out with them!��


    Leng Qiuling shook her head and said, ��It isn��t advisable to be impulsive for this matter. With their strength currently, we��re not their match at all. This matter, we can only wait for Ye Yuan to come and resolve it.��


    Under the effect of Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills, the few of them were all peak Ninth Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses now. It was just that they were still a step away from True God Realm.


    However, this kind of power was not worth mentioning at all in front of Lu Ziyi three people.


    ��But these few fellows are so insidious. The moment they entered the city, they sealed off all of the array formations. Now, news can��t go out at all. If Big Brother really comes back, wouldn��t he be walking right into a trap?�� White Light said with a frown.


    But Bai Chen shook his head and said, ��I agree with Miss Leng��s opinion. With Master��s talent, he definitely already broke through to the True God Realm now. Even if he��s not a match for them, these few people can��t make him stay either. As long as Master is fine, everything is alright.��

 Chapter 1998 - Jiang Ming, I’ve Remembered It!

    Very soon, the news spread out.


    People from the City Lord Manor as well as powerhouses that were related to Ye Yuan, including those at the Celestial Deity Realm were all thrown into prison.


    One True God Realm powerhouse, Bai Chen, was directly smacked by a palm move from his opponent, resulting in serious injury.


    The black-clothed armored guards that the three great powerhouses brought took charge of the entire city��s defense.


    Everyone was only allowed to enter and not allowed to go out.


    The entire city was in a stir!


    These few years, martial artists lived very comfortably in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City under Ye Yuan��s governance.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s Alchemy Dao��s prosperity also attracted a large number of martial artists.


    The overall strength of the martial artists in the city already increased by a great deal.


    These changes were visible in everyone��s eyes.


    The martial artists in the city were very averse to these black-clothed armored soldiers that suddenly appeared.


    It was just that the strengths of these black-clothed armored troops were too strong. Hence, they did not dare to resist at all.


    Everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak up.


    ��If only Lord Ye Yuan was in the city, these guys definitely won��t dare to be unbridled.��


    ��Sigh! I heard that the ones who came this time are Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses! Even if Lord Ye Yuan is here, it will likely be tough to stem the raging tides too.��


    ��Behind them, stands an Empyrean powerhouse! Even thinking about it makes people tremble! Could it be that �� Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is going to return to its state like in the past in the end? We barely experienced a few good days!��


    Great imperial capitals were represented by Empyrean powerhouses.


    Empyrean powerhouses represented invincibility!


    At least, for an extremely long time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s martial artists never thought that they could get involved with Empyrean powerhouses.


    This level of powerhouse could massacre countless imperial cities with a wave of a hand. They were not in the same world as them at all.


    Now, being targeted by this kind of powerhouse, everyone bemoaned endlessly in their hearts.


    At least, the current days were much better than in the past. Who would be willing to return to the past?


    ��Oh, right, isn��t there still a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse in the city?��


    No idea who spoke, it rekindled everyone��s hope again.


    What they did not know was that Lu Ziyi was currently confronting Bai Tong at this time.


    ��Am I making a move, or are you doing it yourself?�� Lu Ziyi said coolly, without the slightest emotion.


    Bai Tong said coolly, ��I��ll only use one move. If you can receive it, I��ll enter the prison by myself.��


    He was currently merely an initial-stage Fourth Firmament True God, but Lu Ziyi was a peak Fifth Firmament True God.


    There was practically a difference of two minor cultivation realms between the two people.


    Although Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse, his strength was not considered strong among Empyreans.


    His most important identity was still an alchemist.


    Lu Ziyi nodded slightly and said, ��Okay, I��ll give you this chance. Make your move!��


    Bai Tong smiled slightly. Waving his hand, he pointed a finger out. The entire void started trembling.


    Lu Ziyi��s face revealed a slight look of surprise, but his expression turned to normal very quickly.


    It was only to hear her give a delicate cry, her dainty palm smacking out without any mercy.


    For a moment, a horrifying power of law was virtually going to punch through space.


    Bai Tong��s pupils constricted, immediately feeling tremendous pressure.


    Bang!


    Two powers of law collided fiercely in the air, Bai Tong��s figure flew out backward.


    Lu Ziyi looked at the Bai Tong who fell to the ground and said coolly, ��Strength isn��t bad, but t��s just that it��s still a bit lacking.��


    Finished talking, she left with her hands behind her back.


    Bai Tong gave a bitter laugh, really having a feeling of a tiger who landed in a plain being bullied by a dog. But he still walked into the prison obediently.


    ��


    When Ye Yuan stepped into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he immediately detected that something was wrong.


    He furrowed his eyebrows but still walked over in the direction of the City Lord Manor.


    ��Lord Ye Yuan! Lord Ye Yuan came back!�� Very soon, the martial artists in the city recognized Ye Yuan, all revealing half hopeful and half fearful faces.


    Ye Yuan sensed the peculiarity in their gaze, but he did not pay mind and just answered with a smile.


    Suddenly, a young Divine Lord Realm martial artist grabbed hold of Ye Yuan and said anxiously, ��Lord Ye Yuan, you can��t go to the City Lord Manor! Hurry up and leave!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, thinking to himself that something indeed happened!


    ��What happened?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The Divine Lord Realm martial artist said, ��Your Excellency, don��t care about it! Hurry up and go! It will be too late if you still don��t leave! Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s powerhouses have already surrounded the entire city until not even water can seep through, just waiting for your appearance!��


    ��Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital?�� Ye Yuan was startled in his heart, not expecting that the problem actually came from Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital.


    He did not become the Southridge patrolling inspector harboring the mentality of setting up a separatist regime. It was just that making him go to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital to report and pay his respects every day, he could not possibly do it.


    As for Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, that was naturally even more impossible.


    Except, Ye Yuan did not expect that Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital actually intervened in the remote Southridge Ten Cities.


    The Divine Lord Realm martial artist nodded and said, ��Correct. They sent three middle-stage True God Realm powerhouses to come. Their means are all very formidable. Even that Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse was defeated. Hurry and leave! If still not leaving, it will really be too late.��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted when he heard this. Others did not know Bai Tong��s identity, but Ye Yuan knew. Bai Tong was an Empyrean powerhouse!


    Even if matching up against a Fifth Firmament True God, Bao Tong also should not lose.


    Being able to defeat Bai Tong, the strength of the people that came this time was really very strong!


    But what Ye Yuan was more worried about was still Bai Tong��s safety.


    ��That Fourth Firmament True God you mentioned, is he alright?�� Ye Yuan��s tone gradually turned cold.


    The Divine Lord Realm martial artist shook his head and said, ��How can this lowly one know such things? Either way, the people from the City Lord Manor and people who are related to Your Excellency have virtually all already fallen into enemy hands; life and death unknown!��


    Life and death unknown!


    Ye Yuan��s head went buzzing.


    Bai Chen, White Light, Leng Qiuling, and Jiang Jadehall, they all were Ye Yuan��s extremely close people.


    If they all died, Ye Yuan would really go insane.


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s true! Hurry and leave! The guards in the city now have all been swapped out. They have probably already gotten the news. If you still don��t go, it will really be too late!�� This Divine Lord Realm clearly respected Ye Yuan a lot; his words were full of concern.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and worked hard to calm himself down.


    He knew that with this person��s level, it was impossible to know the specifics of the matter.


    This incident still had to meet the other party before it could be confirmed.


    If �� If someone really died, Ye Yuan would definitely destroy the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital!


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed widely and asked, ��Little Brother, what��s your name?��


    The Divine Lord Realm martial artist was taken aback and blurted out, ��This �� This lowly one is called Jiang Ming.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said smilingly, ��Jiang Ming, I��ve remembered it.��


    Finished talking, his figure moved, heading straight in the direction of the City Lord Manor.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    A ray of sword light sped over like the wind from ten thousand feet away, arriving in an instant.


    But the target was not Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan naturally felt the sword light and abruptly wanted to turn around.


    Except, it was already too late.


    Bang!


    Horrifying law undulations directly obliterated Jiang Ming!


    How could a mere Divine Lord Realm powerhouse block a True God��s sword?


    ��As a Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s citizen, to actually turn traitor and tip people off; truly a commoner! Death isn��t regrettable!��


    A sweet-sounding voice closed in from afar.


    The voice was so pleasant, but the person��s action was so cruel.

 Chapter 1999 - Lowly Commoner

    Although this was on a bustling street, the entire city was incomparably quiet. Only this pleasant-sounding voice was reverberating.


    Lu Ziyi walked over lightly just like that as if a heavenly maiden descending upon the mortal world.


    That appearance made all life topple.


    But in the eyes of the current Ye Yuan, this was a skeleton.


    A pink skeleton!


    She was heartless, she was cold, and she looked down on all living things.


    In her eyes, she was heaven, not allowing the slightest bit of defiance.


    ��Your Excellency, hurry and go! It will be too late if you still don��t leave!��


    ��Your Excellency, I��m called Jiang Ming!��


    ��


    Jiang Ming only spoke a few sentences to Ye Yuan in total, the words still ringing in his ears.


    It was also Ye Yuan��s first time seeing this young Divine Lord Realm martial artist. He could see Jiang Ming��s feelings of idolization toward him from the other party��s eyes.


    He was innocent.


    But this woman killed him in front of him just like that!


    Unforgivable!


    An icy-cold killing intent instantly swept throughout the entire street.


    On the streets, it was as if the temperature suddenly fell several degrees.


    Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan expressionlessly and said while having a pitying look, ��Are you angry for a lowly commoner? Truly pitiful! It likewise also shows your incompetence! You couldn��t save him and similarly can��t save yourself too.��


    Not that Ye Yuan did not want to save, but that that sword move earlier grasped the situation too well.


    His heart was full of worry over White Light and the rest. The moment he moved, he called forth all of his energy, and then the sword came from another direction. He had no time to turn around and save Jiang Ming at all.


    Even if he knew spatial law, it also could not make it in time!


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes were icy-cold as he questioned, ��In your eyes, is human life akin to grass? You are targeting me, so why make a move against an irrelevant person!��


    Lu Ziyi had a calm look as she said, ��A mere lowly commoner. If he��s killed, then he��s killed, what can you do to me? Moreover, he isn��t an unrelated person. He tipped you off. Rebelling against us by giving information is the same crime as revolting!��


    By the side, Deng Wei could not help laughing as he said, ��Really a foolish guy! He��s clearly so weak, yet he still wants to share his sympathy with such a lowly commoner. I really don��t know how he cultivated reaching his realm.��


    Dai Yang also laughed in spite of himself and said, ��This kid��s cultivation speed is pretty fast. The intel that we received was that he might have broken through to the True God Realm already. I didn��t think that he��s already Third Firmament True God. However �� it��s still too weak!��


    Lu Ziyi said coolly, ��Rootless wood, waterless duckweed; no matter how high the realm, it��s also futile.��


    These three people chimed in one after another. Heavenly Eagle��s martial artists were uncomfortable all over when they listened.


    In the eyes of these proud chosen of heaven, they all, these people, were simply insignificant existences.


    One more, one less, it completely did not matter to these proud chosen of heaven.


    Of course, it was like this in the entire Heavenspan World.


    It was just that after experiencing Ye Yuan��s rule, they felt that this was a heavenly paradise.


    Ye Yuan was different from these high and mighty proud chosen of heaven!


    He would fly into a great rage for an insignificant civilian.


    This kind of warm feeling was what they had never experienced before.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Ziyi, his face frosty as he said, ��The three of you keep harping about him being a lowly commoner. Do you really think that you��re dragons or phoenixes among men? In my eyes, you guys are the out-and-out lowly plebeians!��


    His words were full of ridicule.


    Lu Ziyi��s expression was calm and did not get angry. She just said coolly, ��Indulging in contention of mouth and tongue? That laughable dignity of yours is actually utterly worthless. Okay, I��ll give you a chance, if you can win any one out of the three of us, I can bring my men and leave.��


    Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s understanding of Ye Yuan was actually not much.


    They received a tip-off, saying that Ye Yuan was acting autonomously. It was only then they started paying attention to such a remote Southridge Ten Cities.


    Looking into it slightly, they discovered that Southridge Ten Cities�� situation was indeed somewhat abnormal.


    Hence, that was why there was this operation.


    The reason why they sent out such a powerful line-up was that they knew that a Fourth Firmament True God powerhouse had once appeared here before.


    As for Ye Yuan, they did not place him in their eyes at all.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance indeed made these three people somewhat surprised.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan at most just broke through to the True God Realm currently. Who knew that he already reached the Third Firmament True God Realm so quickly.


    But, even if it was Third Firmament True God, Lu Ziyi still did not take him seriously.


    Initial-stage True God Realm and middle-stage True God Realm were on completely different levels.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was frosty as he said, ��No need! Today, none of you can leave! In your eyes, Jiang Ming is a lowly commoner. But in my eyes, he��s ten thousand times nobler than you all. Hence, I��ll use your blood to hold a memorial ceremony for Jiang Ming!��


    Deng Wei laughed loudly when he heard it and said, ��Ignorant thing, to actually place that lowly commoner in the same category as us. Are you trying to infuriate us? Well, you��ve succeeded. You��ll regret it.��


    Finished talking, he slowly walked out, aura becoming stronger and stronger, climbing to the peak very quickly.


    A Fifth Firmament True God!


    When the martial artists in the city saw this commotion, each and every one of their expression changed abruptly. They could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.


    They knew that every minor realm of True God Realm had a tremendous disparity; let alone that there was a small stage between Ye Yuan and Deng Wei!


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a pitying look, ��Originally planned on detaining and bringing all of you to the great imperial capital. Looking at it now, there��s no need anymore.��


    It was only to see two kinds of power of law fuse together in perfect harmony, his aura rising a level once more.


    Horrifying heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered over crazily.


    ��So strong! This is wind and lightning, two powers of law fusing. Furthermore, these two kinds of laws are already cultivated to middle-stage rank six.��


    ��Truly well-deserving of being a genius that came from a great imperial capital. He��s actually this strong!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan isn��t looking too good. Although he also has law fusion, the realm disparity is too great!��


    ��


    The martial artists in the city could not refrain from worrying about Ye Yuan.


    Reaching True God Realm, jumping realms and battling became increasingly difficult.


    Moreover, Deng Wei, this kind of genius was an existence invincible in the same rank to begin with.


    ��A bumpkin like you will never understand the difference between you and a true genius. If you can receive this Wind Lightning True Grand Palm and not die, this genius can consider sparing your life!��


    Deng Wei��s gaze turned cold and suddenly threw a palm out, aiming straight for Ye Yuan.


    But, amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle.


    Yes, there wasn��t the slightest bit of law undulation on Ye Yuan��s body. He also did not condense any heaven and earth spiritual energy.


    He �� actually stood there and let the other party hit!


    Everyone was stunned!


    Facing a powerhouse who was two minor realms higher than him, he actually stood there and did not move?


    Everyone��s hearts leaped to their throats, looking at Ye Yuan with worried faces.


    Lu Ziyi just smiled coldly and said, ��Stupid!��


    This palm arrived in an instant and bombarded Ye Yuan��s body solidly, erupting with an intense speed.


    Everyone looked at this scene in complete bewilderment, not knowing why Ye Yuan would do this.


    Deng Wei looked at that ball of light with a contemptuous look and said disdainfully, ��Foolish thing, think that he��s an unkillable cockroach?��


    But very soon, the light dissipated. A figure stood there proudly, standing stone still.

 Chapter 2000 - The Laws of Five Elements!

    ��This �� How is this possible?��


    ��Actually completely unscathed! Lord Ye Yuan he �� How did he do it?��


    ��This defensive strength is truly freakishly powerful!��


    ��


    There were cries of exclamations in the city. Following that, there was joyful cheering.


    Not seeing him for several decades, Lord Ye Yuan��s strength increased to a realm that made people tremble again.


    Of course, this was to the enemy.


    Deng Wei��s pupils constricted, staring fixedly at that figure, full of disbelief.


    Ye Yuan stood proudly, his body not even having a damaged corner of his sleeves.


    How freakish was this defensive power?!


    Lu Ziyi��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly extremely surprised by this scene.


    ��Just now, there was �� the undulation of an empyrean spirit treasure! He has a defensive empyrean spirit treasure on him!�� Lu Ziyi opened her mouth and said coldly.


    ��E-Empyrean spirit treasure?�� Deng Wei looked at Ye Yuan absent-mindedly.


    Immediately, his face revealed a look of wild elation.


    Ye Yuan had an empyrean spirit treasure on him. As long as he killed Ye Yuan, wouldn��t the empyrean spirit treasure be his?


    How could Deng Wei��s little thought hide from Ye Yuan��s eyes?


    He opened his mouth and said coolly, ��Want the empyrean spirit treasure?��


    Deng Wei did not have the intention of hiding and said with a smile, ��I didn��t expect that there��s still an unexpected harvest by coming here. That empyrean spirit treasure, I want it!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Can. As long as you can block a blow from me.��


    Deng Wei burst out laughing when he heard this. He said, ��Overconfident fool! You think that by relying on an empyrean spirit treasure to block my attack, your strength outmatches this young master��s strength? If this young master can��t even block this blow of yours, wouldn��t these several thousand years have been lived in vain?��


    Ye Yuan was expressionless. He had been suppressing his rage constantly.


    ��Very well, then you receive it well!��


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly erupted, arriving in front of Deng Wei like lightning.


    ��So fast!��


    Deng Wei��s pupils constricted, world domain and protective divine essence bursting out crazily.


    However, his world domain and protective divine essence could not block Ye Yuan in the least bit at all.


    Ye Yuan was just like a sharp knife, barging straight into Deng Wei��s world domain, two hands directly grabbing his shoulders.


    Deng Wei was greatly alarmed in his heart and struggled desperately, wanting to shake off Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, an acute tearing feeling came from his body. It was extremely painful.


    ��What happened? Why do I feel like my body isn��t mine anymore?��


    This was the last thought that flashed past in Deng Wei��s mind. Because his body was already torn in half by Ye Yuan using brute force.


    The entire city was silent!


    Everyone looked at this scene in incredible shock, feeling the jitters.


    Tearing a Fifth Firmament True God with his hands, it was such a spectacular sight. It was their first time seeing such a thing happen in their lives.


    Too shocking, too intense!


    Too �� liberating!


    These few fellows had always been swaggering before others, harping on and on about lowly commoners.


    In the eyes of these people, they all, these ordinary martial artists, were merely targets to be exploited, sheep that they were raising.


    Deng Wei was forcefully torn in half by Ye Yuan just like that.


    ��Middle-stage �� perfect sixth transformation golden body!��


    Lu Ziyi and Dai Yang��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in immense shock.


    The might of Ye Yuan��s fleshy body power greatly exceeded their imaginations.


    Only then did they know that when Ye Yuan blocked Deng Wei��s strike, the empyrean spirit treasure was merely adding flowers to embroidery.


    What Ye Yuan truly relied on was his powerful to the extreme fleshy body!


    Achieving a middle-stage sixth transformation golden body, this was the lucky chance that Ye Yuan obtained inside the Crape Myrtle Cave.


    Currently, Ye Yuan had been suppressing his rage all along, so he needed to vent.


    And Deng Wei was clearly the best target.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looked toward Lu Ziyi, and said coldly, ��This is the so-called genius that you guys spoke of? Merely thus! I really don��t know where your so-called sense of superiority came from! You kept saying on and on about how they are lowly commoners, but in my eyes, you guys are the lowly plebeians.��


    ��They work hard and fight every day in order to live. They frequently wander the borders of life and death. They supply resources to you all, these so-called geniuses. But in the end, they became the lowly commoners that came out of your mouth.��


    ��You don��t need to worry about food and clothing, don��t have to worry about resources, don��t lack cultivation methods, and mystic treasures are free for your picking. Putting it bluntly, you all just simply reincarnated well. Even so, he still couldn��t block a move from me. What a joke! You all remember for me, killing you guys today is for the sake of a young man called Jiang Ming!��


    Ye Yuan��s every word and sentence rang with power, condemning Lu Ziyi and Dai Yang until they were utterly worthless.


    He naturally had this capital.


    Previously, Deng Wei��s words were wildly conceited, not taking Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    But in the end, he could not even hurt a single strand of Ye Yuan��s hair. He could not even block one blow from Ye Yuan.


    Lu Ziyi��s expression did not have much of a change. She just said with a cold smile, ��This is your reliance? You think that by killing Deng Wei, you��ve cornered us? Also, you killing Deng Wei is already a capital crime. You and the people around you all have to die!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Is that so?��


    Swoosh!


    Voice had not faded and Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly erupted.


    The Dai Yang who was by the side immediately felt his scalp tingle, a feeling of immense danger welling up in his heart.


    He used all of his energy to defend, but it was to no avail!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s punch landed, Dai Yang��s entire person was blown apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist, no time to even defend.


    And from start to end, Lu Ziyi observed coldly from the sidelines, not having the intention of helping.


    ��Lord Ye Yuan��s strength is actually already so strong!��


    ��Hahaha! Beat this group of condescending things to death! Lord Ye Yuan, we support you!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan, kill that girl! Take revenge for Jiang Ming!��


    ��


    The martial artists in the city all watched until their hot blood boiled with excitement, shouting crazily.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan similarly rose from nothing. He relied on his own efforts and walked until today step by step.


    Now, Ye Yuan represented them and beat these condescending geniuses until they were utterly routed. How could they not be excited?


    Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan and was still calm as she said, ��I admit that I underestimated you. But, it also ends here! Although the perfect golden body is formidable �� you still can��t escape death!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��I really don��t know where the confidence of you all, these so-called geniuses, came from.��


    A sword appeared in Lu Ziyi��s hand like a magic trick and she slowly said, ��Don��t know is it? Then �� this young lady will use it to tell you where my confidence comes from.��


    Lu Ziyi��s long sword swung, the air immediately became wet.


    Law of water!


    Following that, she beckoned with one hand. A cluster of flames wrapped around her.


    Law of fire!


    The next second, the sword light turned cold. A yellowish-brown colored light halo lit up.


    Law of earth!


    In the city, the faces of all of the martial artists changed.


    The laws of five elements, three appeared all at once.


    Furthermore, there were still no signs of stopping.


    Lu Ziyi pointed with her sword, and another green light lit up. An aura of life filled the air.


    Everyone cried out in surprise, ��Law of wood!��


    ��There �� There wouldn��t be more, right?�� The expressions of the martial artists in the city changed.


    However, things did not go as people wanted. Lu Ziyi let out a delicate cry, another power of law lit up!

 Chapter 2001 - Conclusion

    ��She �� She actually comprehended five types of power of law by herself, how is this possible?��


    ��All five elements! She comprehended all five elements! This comprehension ability is �� too terrifying!��


    ��The five elements mutually promote and restraint each other. If utilized properly, the power could rival supreme laws! This woman is remarkable!��


    ��


    In the city, a series of exclamations came over.


    They were never able to imagine that there was actually someone in this world who could comprehend five types of powers of law at the same time.


    This kind of talent already exceeded their imagination.


    Ye Yuan comprehended spatial law. This was indeed an extremely difficult thing. But comprehending the five elements at the same time, the difficulty was not the least bit weaker than spatial law.


    Furthermore, these five kinds of laws were all comprehended to the level of rank six. This was simply inconceivable.


    Even when Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils constricted too, his expression changing slightly.


    He finally knew why even Bai Tong was defeated at her hands.


    Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��Now, do you know what my reliance is? I admit that your talent is indeed pretty good, to actually be able to attain the perfect sixth transformation golden body. But all this is nothing in front of me!��


    This woman was confident to the extreme and also powerful to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan was indeed somewhat surprised in his heart. When he entered the Ancient God Battlefield this time, people he saw were all extremely talented geniuses.


    Just take Zhou Yu for example, he was absolutely a first-rate powerhouse among peers.


    But Zhou Yu compared to this woman in front of him, the disparity was too great.


    Ye Yuan reined in his thoughts and looked at Lu Ziyi and said calmly, ��It��s just too bad that you seem to be unable to fuse the five elements law.��


    When Lu Ziyi heard that, her expression could not help choking.


    This had always been her sore spot. She did not expect that it was exposed by Ye Yuan heartlessly.


    Comprehending all five elements and fusing five laws were two entirely different concepts. The strength difference was also worlds apart.


    However, fusing two types of laws was already something incredibly hard, let alone fusing five types of laws?


    This kind of thing, just thinking about it felt horrifying.


    Her face turned cold and she said, ��Shamelessly boasting! Talk wildly again after you block my laws of five elements!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head. Suddenly, his gaze turned cold and he said, ��It��s not blocking your laws. I said it before, all three of you have to die today! This is the price of you killing Jiang Ming.��


    Lu Ziyi sneered and said, ��With just the likes of you?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. ��With the likes of me!��


    As he spoke, Ye Yuan slowly pulled out the bone sword. It was precisely that empyrean spirit treasure that Empyrean Vast Universe gave to him!


    Lu Ziyi��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    This guy actually had two empyrean spirit treasures on him!


    A defensive-type empyrean spirit treasure, an offensive-type empyrean spirit treasure!


    This �� How could a puny little Southridge Ten Cities give birth to such a monster?


    Hang on, didn��t this guy have a perfect sixth transformation golden body? Why was he using a sword?


    Could it be that �� he was a martial-body dual cultivator?


    That instant when she saw the bone sword, Lu Ziyi finally had a visible change in countenance.


    A series of doubts were raised in her mind.


    Today, the shock that this Southridge Ten Cities�� patrolling inspector, who was viewed by her as a barbarian, brought to her was seriously too much.


    Lu Ziyi recollected her thoughts very quickly. Her confidence in herself was irreplaceable. ��I really underestimated you. However �� it��s no use! My Five Elements Sword Art has no weakness to exploit.��


    ��Is that so?��


    Ye Yuan smiled disdainfully, holding the bone sword and dashing over, and then his figure turned illusory.


    Lu Ziyi��s pupils constricted again, clearly getting a shock.


    Spatial law!


    Furthermore, it was fifth level spatial law!!


    This kid was not only extremely powerful in body-refinement, but his attainment in laws was actually also so terrifying.


    However, there was already no time for her to be surprised.


    This sword of Ye Yuan had a momentum akin to an overwhelming force. Lu Ziyi did not dare to be neglectful.


    It was only to see her long sword swing, three types of power of laws immediately went to welcome him.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s fused sword intent clashed with Lu Ziyi��s law of earth straight away.


    The law of earth contained the power of the earth. Its defense was the scariest.


    But, under Ye Yuan��s sword, the law of earth could not stand up to the single blow at all, practically disintegrating in an instant.


    However, what was scariest about the five elements was not the power of each type of law.


    Five types of power of laws mutually promoted and restrained each other. As long as the utilization was appropriate, it would be able to unleash more than several times, even dozens of times the power of the law itself.


    At this time, the law of wood and law of earth mutually complemented each other, coupled with the ceaselessness of the law of water, it actually made this sword of Ye Yuan��s sink into the quagmire.


    Ye Yuan��s sword move that pressed forward with indomitable will was easily resolved by Lu Ziyi just like that.


    It was quicker than words could tell.


    Talking about this sword move was very long, actually, it was just a matter of an instant.


    However, Ye Yuan swung his sword in a circle, his figure swaying, attacking with another slash.


    Horrifying power of laws rolled in midair. The martial artists in the city had long retreated to an extreme far place. How could they dare to approach in the slightest?


    The showdown between two great True God Realm powerhouses, spectators would die upon contact!


    Ye Yuan slashed consecutively, but no matter how his sword moves changed, he was unable to breach Lu Ziyi��s laws of five elements.


    Lu Ziyi was clearly incomparably familiar with the utilization of the five elements law.


    Five types of laws alternated indeterminately, continuing in an endless cycle, not giving Ye Yuan any chance at all.


    However, Lu Ziyi was constantly being suppressed by Ye Yuan and also did not have the strength leftover to retaliate at all, and could only defend passively.


    Two mighty powerhouses fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open in the sky of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. The horrifying energy undulations made people extremely terrified.


    ��I didn��t expect that you actually fused Sword Dao law and spatial law, being truly out of my expectations. However, it��s useless. My five elements law won��t give you any chance,�� Lu Ziyi appeared very calm as she said.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan pulled back his sword momentum, leaving the battlefield.


    Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��What? Gave up is it? Now, it��s my turn!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Ziyi and said coolly, ��No need! You won��t have the chance to make your move. Your five elements are merely thus. Next, you can go and die already!��


    Lu Ziyi had a proud look on her face as she said with a cold smile, ��Foolish thing, still haven��t figured out your own strength until now? I��ve already grasped your strength clearly. Eat a sword move from me!��


    Finished talking, Lu Ziyi stabbed a sword move out. The five elements were continuously reproduced in an endless succession under her sword, the energy getting more and more terrifying.


    Ye Yuan just looked at this scene calmly, he was storing up strength.


    A feeling of the heart and mind being linked together came from the bone sword.


    This bone sword was indeed exceptional. To the current Ye Yuan, it was all too suitable.


    Except, the current Ye Yuan, the aura on his body was very feeble and was not as outrageous as Lu Ziyi��s.


    Suddenly, he abruptly snapped open his eyes. A sword stabbed out flatly.


    ��Sword Hollow Etch!��


    Even though it was Sword Hollow Etch, this sword actually had some similarities with Empyrean Vast Universe��s third sword.


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not achieve fully retracting the sword momentum.


    The more horrifying the sword move was, the harder to control it.


    Ye Yuan��s Sword Hollow Etch move, the power was too great.


    Just like this, Ye Yuan��s seemingly ordinary Sword Hollow Etch move whirled away toward the Five Elements Sword Art.

 Chapter 2002 - Stirring up Big Trouble

    Lu Ziyi��s face was full of disdain.


    The power of this sword move looked to be just that tiny bit stronger than before.


    This was Ye Yuan��s ace in the hole?


    All talk no action; it seemed like this kid only had just this bit of strength.


    In a blink of an eye, Sword Hollow Etch collided together with the Five Elements Sword Art.


    Bang!


    The houses around instantly turned to dust, as if they had never existed before.


    Lu Ziyi��s expression instantly turned from disdain to stupefaction.


    A force that toppled mountains and overturned the seas came over from the sword light.


    Lu Ziyi��s complexion turned white as a sheet, frenziedly urging her divine essence and mobilizing heaven and earth spiritual energy. The five elements continuously regenerated in endless succession, attempting to stop this terrifying force.


    It was just that everything was futile.


    Lu Ziyi felt that Ye Yuan��s power was like a tsunami, the sky rending asunder and the earth splitting open, without ceasing.


    No matter how she utilized the five elements law, she was unable to withstand it too.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Lu Ziyi spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, directly being struck flying out by this sword move, falling heavily to the ground.


    The current Lu Ziyi had her clothes all disheveled, hair hanging down loosely. How was there still that demeanor of a fairy maiden?


    She was still struggling to get up, but a sword already reached her throat.


    Ye Yuan��s sword move was too strong. Her internal organs already suffered extremely severe injuries.


    ��This is your reliance, your pride? Merely thus. Right now, you��re even inferior to the lowly commoners you spoke of. So what qualifications do you have to look down on them?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Ziyi, his words full of mockery.


    Just earlier, Lu Ziyi was still a fairy maiden high up in the clouds, using a proud gaze to look at the world indifferently.


    But now, Ye Yuan was looking down on her.


    All of her pride was crushed by Ye Yuan at this moment until it was shredded to pieces.


    ��What bullshit genius, nothing at all compared to Lord Ye Yuan!��


    ��Really too strong! Lord Ye Yuan is really too strong! A genius who comprehended the five elements law is actually not even his match.��


    ��Hahaha, really refreshing! Doesn��t she look down on us, these lowly commoners? What about herself now?��


    ��


    The martial artists in the city all started cheering frenziedly.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan still had a perfect victory facing a powerful existence with five laws, particularly the five elements.


    One had to know, Lu Ziyi was two minor realms higher than Ye Yuan!


    True God Realm, two minor realms meant a disparity of several thousand years or even several tens of thousands of years.


    Of course, this was just to geniuses.


    To those ordinary martial artists, a minor realm might be several hundreds of thousands of years!


    Lu Ziyi��s expression was also extremely ugly. She never would have thought that she would actually lose to a Third Firmament True God, this bumpkin-like existence in her eyes.


    This kind of blow virtually shattered all of her confidence.


    At this time, a black-clothed armored soldier hurriedly spoke up, ��Brat, there��s Empyrean Lu Yan behind Miss Ziyi. If you dare to touch her, the entire city has to be buried in death with her!��


    Hearing that, everyone shuddered with fear.


    An Empyrean powerhouse, this was something that they had never thought about, and also an existence far beyond their reach!


    Once an Empyrean was enraged, corpses would span ten thousand miles!


    If they provoked an Empyrean powerhouse, how could a mere Heavenly Eagle Imperial City bear his wrath?


    Lu Ziyi looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��My father is the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s city lord, Lu Yan. Even if you won against me, so what?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��The person that I, Ye Yuan, want to kill, even if the Jade Emperor comes, he can��t stop it too! So what �� if Empyrean?��


    But Lu Ziyi was indifferent, she felt that Ye Yuan was indulging in contention of mouth and tongue.


    Empyrean powerhouse, that was a godlike existence, who would dare defy?


    She looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, ��Ye Yuan, you��re a talent! I admit that I��m inferior to you! But, if you dare to touch a hair of mine, you��ll die without a burial ground! These lowly commoners will likewise be buried in death with you!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his face was full of sneers.


    This woman was also too conceited.


    At this point, she still thought that he was pretending to be profound?


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was amused.


    ��Huhu, at this point, do you still feel that you��re lofty and above the masses?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh.


    Lu Ziyi gave Ye Yuan a glance and said calmly, ��Stop being pretentious here! Could it be that you really dare to kill me? My father is an Empyrean powerhouse. That isn��t an existence you can afford to provoke. Being able to defeat me shows that you��re indeed very strong and have no relations whatsoever with these powerless lowly plebeians. All in all, you don��t dare to kill me, and even have to send me back properly.��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he laughed in spite of himself.


    This woman was really hopeless.


    He looked at Lu Ziyi and said with a cold smile, ��Originally, I��m not a bloodthirsty person. But you never should have killed Jiang Ming. Maybe in your eyes, he��s just an insignificant small character. But in my eyes, he��s a young man who had affection and loyalty. If you don��t die today, heaven will not tolerate it!��


    Done talking, the tip of Ye Yuan��s sword moved, stabbing right through Lu Ziyi��s heart.


    Until death, Lu Ziyi had a look of disbelief.


    Was this guy �� mad?


    He �� He actually really dared to kill her!


    However, Lu Ziyi��s pupils gradually dilated, the look in her eyes gradually started turning lax.


    A proud heaven��s chosen of her generation fell here!


    Everyone looked at this scene in incredible shock, disbelief on their faces.


    When that black-clothed armored soldier uttered the awe-inspiring name of the Empyrean, everyone was taken back.


    It was just that none of them thought that Ye Yuan actually really dared to kill people.


    And the reason was just a lowly commoner that they spoke of.


    ��You �� You actually really kill Young Lady, are you crazy?�� That True God Realm black-clothed armored soldier had a look of disbelief all over his face.


    Could it be that this guy did not fear an Empyrean powerhouse?


    He actually killed an Empyrean��s daughter!


    Ye Yuan looked at that black-clothed armored soldier and said coldly, ��This Ye has a clear conscience when doing things! If I let her go, how will I give an account to the deceased Jiang Ming? Considering everything and everyone beneath their notice, then they have to bear the consequences of looking down on everyone and everything! Also, you all, none of you can think about leaving.��


    That black-clothed armored soldier��s face changed, feeling like he ran into a lunatic.


    Why was this guy so unreasonable?


    Completely could not talk sense!


    The more you spoke, the more he fought with you!


    ��


    When Ye Yuan saw Zuo Shujie and the rest, the rage in his heart grew even more.


    Zuo Shujie few people already lost most of their life, only leaving behind one last breath.


    If not for that Lu Ziyi wanted to bring them back to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, they would likely have already perished and their Dao dissipating at this time.


    Of course, this was nothing to Ye Yuan, As long as there was a breath there, Ye Yuan could save them.


    However, when they knew that the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s powerhouses were completely annihilated, their faces were still incomparably shocked.


    This time, a big hole was poked in the basket!


    Such exceptionally talented figures were bound to be Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s important figures, so how could they drop the matter?


    When Bai Tong saw Ye Yuan, he smiled and said, ��You indeed didn��t let me down.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��ve made you suffered.��

 Chapter 2003 - Lu Yan’s Fury

    Inside the City Lord Manor, the atmosphere did not ease up even after the deaths of the three great geniuses.


    On the contrary, the atmosphere was rather suffocating.


    ��Your Excellency, this �� Is our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City considered to have revolted?�� City Lord Zuo Shujie asked somewhat flusteredly.


    Under Ye Yuan��s miracle medicine, Zuo Shujie finally had his life saved.


    As an imperial capital��s city lord under Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s command, he had awe and veneration in his heart toward the existence of great imperial capitals.


    This kind of awe and veneration had been accumulating over a very long time. So how could it be wiped away easily?


    Ye Yuan killed an Empyrean��s daughter and slaughtered hundreds of black-clothed armored soldiers. Among them, there were even some True God Realm commanders.


    This way of doing things was simply too insane.


    What everyone was worried about now was the Empyrean��s vengeance.


    Empyreans were invincible existences in everyone��s eyes.


    Even if your True God Realm strength was monstrous, in front of an Empyrean powerhouse, it was still too weak to stand up to the competition.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was strong, powerful until he could kill Lu Ziyi who comprehended the laws of the five elements. But in front of an Empyrean powerhouse, he would still be too weak to take a single blow.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, ��Revolt? Since we��ve never obeyed before, what��s there to revolt?��


    He had never treated himself as anyone��s citizen. Taking on this position of patrolling envoy was also merely in order to make it convenient to run Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    With Ye Yuan��s personality, he naturally would not leave his life at other people��s mercy.


    Even if the other party was an Empyrean powerhouse, they could forget about making Ye Yuan lower his head too.


    ��But, Big Brother, our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn��t have an Empyrean powerhouse to hold down the fort. If that Empyrean Lu Yan really comes knocking, how should we respond?�� White Light also frowned and said.


    This time, he felt tremendous pressure too.


    ��Yeah, all are ants beneath Empyrean. Your Excellency, your strength is extremely strong, but you haven��t reached Empyrean in the end,�� Ning Tianping also said with a worried look.


    ��Master, aren��t you Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder? If you go and invite Empyrean powerhouses with this identity, they should give face, right?�� Bai Chen suddenly said.


    His words made everyone��s eyes lit up all at once.


    The identity of Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder was extraordinary.


    Even Empyrean powerhouses should give some face too.


    After all, who would offend a super Alchemy God with a great future?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You all are thinking too much. No matter how powerful the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion is, they are also merely just a bunch of Six-star Alchemy Gods. Empyrean powerhouses, which one isn��t extremely proud? How could they possibly come and be my hired thug for this sort of thing?��


    This would not do, that would not do as well, everyone really did not know what they should do.


    The title of Empyrean was like an enormous haze, crushing until everyone could not breathe.


    Everyone fell silent again.


    This atmosphere was not just inside the City Lord Manor. It was also spreading in the entire imperial city.


    Although the present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s strength already could not be compared to the past.


    Matching up against a great imperial capital, this level of a city, was undoubtedly an ant trying to shake a big tree.


    But even so, only a very small portion of people chose to leave Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    The vast majority of martial artists all chose to stay behind.


    Ye Yuan cutting down three great geniuses in a rage, they understood that it was not for himself. It was for an unimportant person.


    That nobody was called Jiang Ming.


    After that day, everyone remembered this once insignificant name.


    Because that was the personification of each and every one of them.


    Wasn��t each and every one of them the Jiang Ming among the numerous living things?


    ��I��m just an itinerant cultivator. These several tens of thousands of years, I��ve lived in more than a dozen cities before. But no city made me have such a sense of belonging.��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is different from ordinary controllers! In his eyes, every martial artist of Heavenly Eagle is his family.��


    ��Isn��t that so? The last time, Deathsoul Gate provoked him; Lord Ye Yuan would rather bind both hands himself than be willing to have one more person in the city get hurt! One has to know, with his strength, killing those people wasn��t a hard thing. This time, he also killed people in a rage for that nobody Jiang Ming.��


    ��


    Ye Yuan made the martial artists here in Heavenly Eagle had a great sense of belonging these few years.


    He managed the Martial Tower and the Pill Tower, and opened them to all martial artists, and reduced the tax of the martial artists in the city. This series of things did not need to be said.


    Especially during this recent incident, Ye Yuan��s actions and conduct thoroughly conquered the martial artists in the city, making everyone submit wholeheartedly.


    This made them feel like Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had a feeling of home.


    In this indifferent world, there was a ruler who sincerely supported bottom-level martial artists. This was clearly an extremely rare thing.


    Therefore, despite being clearly aware that Ye Yuan��s opponent this time was an Empyrean powerhouse, no one shrank back. Instead, they had an appearance like they were bound by a common hatred for the enemy.


    ��


    There were no walls without cracks in the world. The news of Ye Yuan killing the three great geniuses, Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital received the news very quickly.


    At this time, the Deng Family��s and Dai Family��s two ancestors were currently in a furious rage at the City Lord Manor.


    The Deng Family��s ancestor Deng Yunzai roared furiously at Lu Yan, ��Brother Lu Yan, this punk called Ye Yuan really ate a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall, to actually dare kill our family��s Deng Wei! Not killing this fiend, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!��


    By the side, the Dai Family��s ancestor, Dai Chunhao, similarly had a look of thunderous rage as he said, ��My Dai Family expended countless painstaking effort on Yang-er for him to be who he is today. I was even hoping for him to inherit my mantle. But I didn��t expect that he died in this brat��s hands. Not killing him, I, Dai Chunhao, swear that I��m less than human.��


    These two ancestors currently had extremely vigorous auras. A few sentences were practically about to bring down the roof. Their fury could be seen from just this.


    Opposite them was a middle-aged man with a frosty expression.


    This middle-aged man was precisely Lu Ziyi��s father, the master of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, Lu Yan.


    For these two family��s ancestors to dare raise such a clamor in front of an Empyrean, they were clearly in the same generation as Lu Yan.


    These two people were shockingly Empyrean powerhouses too.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s martial artists did not know Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s actual situation.


    If they knew that Ye Yuan offended three great Empyrean powerhouses in one go, no idea how despairing it would be for them.


    Lu Ziyi��s brows furrowed slightly. Snorting coldly, he said, ��What��s the fuss? Those two grandsons of yours have already been separated by no idea how many generations. Although their talents were pretty good, if really talking about it, it��s also just like that. Whether or not they can break through to be an Empyrean is still another matter altogether. However, my Ziyi is a one-in-ten-thousand peerless genius. She already grasped the true essence of the five elements. Given time, her strength will definitely be above mine. You guys are furious, could it be that this Empyrean isn��t as furious as you all?��


    Lu Yan overflowed with majesty with every movement and action. Even though Deng and Dai two people were both Empyrean powerhouses, they also fell silent at this time.


    Yeah, actually, the angriest one should be Lu Yan.


    With Lu Ziyi��s talent, breaking through to the Empyrean Realm in the future was virtually a sure bet.


    In fact, there was a possibility of breaking through to the legendary realm of Heavenly Emperor!


    Such a rare talent, forget about the puny little Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, even when placed in a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, she also did not pale in comparison to those geniuses.


    Now, she died bafflingly just like that.


    How could he, Lu Yan, not be furious?


    ��That �� Brother Lu Yan, why don��t we make a move together, and go kill that punk!�� Deng Yunzai asked probingly.


    Lu Yan smiled coldly and said, ��Kill him? Isn��t that letting him off too lightly? This Empyrean will let him know what��s called despair!��

 Chapter 2004 - I’ll Spare Your Life

    At Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there was panic and terror everywhere.


    A piece of news came that Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s city lord, Empyrean Lu Yan, issued an Empyrean Order with the identity of city lord.


    Within the boundary of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, all 187 imperial capitals, all martial artists above Celestial Deity Realm, were all to head to Nine Pledge Imperial Capital and gather!


    Empyrean Order, within the boundaries of a great imperial capital, it was a paramount order.


    Cities that received the order had to put aside all matters and follow the order unconditionally.


    But this kind of Empyrean Order might not be deployed once in a million years.


    But this time, Empyrean Lu Yan utilized it!


    The goal was in order to deal with an imperial city!


    One had to know, in all 187 imperial capitals, each imperial capital had at least ten or more True God Realm powerhouses.


    Some high-order imperial capitals even had several dozen True God Realm powerhouses.


    How terrifying a force was this?


    ��Is this Empyrean Lu Yan mad? Dealing with us, a tiny little imperial city, he��s actually going to mobilize several thousand True God Realm powerhouses?��


    ��This �� How to fight this? Even if each of us has three heads and six arms, it��s also impossible to win!��


    ��Counting in Lord Ye Yuan and Lord White Light, Lord Leng Qiuling, as well as Lord Ning Tianping who just broke through, the True God Realm powerhouses in the city are also just six people when added together. Six versus several thousand?��


    ��


    Everyone was in despair!


    This kind of power comparison simply made people be in despair.


    To an imperial city, a True God Realm was sufficient to make all of them look up to already.


    But now, several thousand True God Realms were actually coming all at once. This kind of shock simply could not use words to describe.


    Everyone only had one thought in their mind now, that was Empyrean Lu Yan went crazy!


    He was driven mad by Lord Ye Yuan!


    Inside the City Lord Manor, there was a depressing atmosphere. Everyone��s face was covered in a layer of frost, incomparably solemn.


    ��I really didn��t expect that Empyrean Lu Yan would actually be so crazy, sending out thousands of True God Realm powerhouses at once. This is pushing us to our wits end!�� Jiang Jadehall lamented.


    Everyone was silent, they really did not know how to follow up.


    Under absolute power, all hard work was feeble.


    Even if Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao was exceedingly formidable, it was also impossible to create thousands of True God Realms within a short time!


    Let alone that among these several thousand True God Realms, some were even horrifying Ninth Firmament True God Realm existences.


    Pick out any one of these people at random and it would be enough for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to choke on.


    ��You guys, you guys say something! This �� Is this trying to stifle me to death?�� White Light paced back and forth, seeming very anxious.


    They all, these people, had always had blind faith in Ye Yuan.


    But this time was different!


    No matter how capable Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible to deal with these thousands of True God Realm martial artists!


    When the others heard White Light��s words, each and every one of them heaved deep sighs, but they still did not speak.


    They did not know what to say at all.


    Right at this time, someone suddenly came to report that a powerhouse in a large black cloak came from outside, unable to see the face clearly.


    Everyone exchanged glances. Already at this time, who would still pay a visit to request an audience?


    ��Let him enter,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Before long, a powerhouse completely covered in a black cloak appeared in front of everyone.


    Ye Yuan sized the other party up and said with a slight surprise, ��It turns out that it��s City Lord Yu, why would you show up here? At this time, you should be avoiding our Heavenly Eagle like the plague.��


    That person untied his cloak and revealed his figure, looking at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly.


    His disguise was actually seen through by him with one glance?


    The arrival was none other than precisely Nine Pledge Imperial Capital��s city lord, Yu Wenfeng!


    Yu Wenfeng��s appearance caught everyone by surprise. Everyone looked over one after another, not knowing what medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.


    Yu Wenfeng smiled bitterly and said, ��Little Brother Ye really has terrific means. Looks like my guess was correct, you wouldn��t resign yourself to death like this.��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��City Lord Yu, you and I are at warring sides. Coming here �� aren��t you afraid that I detain you?��


    Who knew that Yu Wenfeng let out a slight sigh and said, ��Little Brother Ye, honestly speaking, this Yu came here to request for Little Brother Ye to show mercy. Under the Empyrean Order, this Yu is the Nine Pledge City Lord and has no choice but to become enemies with Little Brother, there��s really no choice! If there��s a possibility, this Yu really isn��t willing to be enemies with you.��


    Yu Wenfeng��s wording made the Heavenly Eagle��s upper echelons that there present very surprised.


    This guy��s head was kicked by a donkey, right?


    Right now, both party��s strength disparity was so great. But he came to beg Ye Yuan to show mercy?


    Did he figure out the situation or not?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��City Lord Yu, are you mistaken? Several thousand True God Realm powerhouses are sufficient to crush Heavenly Eagle dozens of times over, even dregs won��t be left. You��re actually asking me to show mercy?��


    But Yu Wenfeng said with a solemn look, ��Others don��t know your identity, but I know! Back then, when you were still at the Celestial Deity Realm, you already became the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder. How can there not be an Empyrean powerhouse supporting behind you? With the Myriad Treasure Tower��s rallying power, if they really want to have a showdown with Empyrean Lu Yan, it is also not impossible. Hence, I know that you absolutely won��t sit passively and await doom!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Wenfeng with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��What you��re worried about is this? Then I can tell you that you don��t need to worry about it. The Myriad Treasure Tower��s Empyrean powerhouses won��t help me.��


    Yu Wenfeng was taken aback, clearly feeling very surprised.


    But after musing for a moment, he still said firmly, ��Little Brother Ye, I know that you��re not an ordinary person and definitely have other means. All in all, I came here this time to tell you that my Nine Pledge Imperial Capital will hold a perfunctory attitude toward the Empyrean Order this time. I only hope that Little Brother Ye will show mercy when the time comes!��


    Ye Yuan did not expect that when the whole world felt pessimistic about him, this Yu Wenfeng actually felt optimistic about him, and even took a huge risk to have him show mercy.


    This time, he viewed Yu Wenfeng in a different light.


    Yu Wenfeng��s guess was correct. He, Ye Yuan, was never a person who would resign himself to death.


    Lu Yan came up with such a grand line-up, thinking that it could intimidate him, make him despair.


    But he was wrong.


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded and said indifferently, ��Alright, I got it, I��ll spare your life.��


    Yu Wenfeng��s pupils constricted, and he immediately nodded his head and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, ��Many thanks, Little Brother Ye. This Yu is currently at the teeth of the storm. It isn��t advisable to stay for long, so I��ll take my leave first! After this matter, this Yu will personally drop in to give thanks!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly. Yu Wenfeng was secretly alarmed in his heart and immediately took his leave and left.


    After Yu Wenfeng left, the others used extremely odd gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    White Light immediately jumped up and yelled, ��Big Brother, you hid from us so bitterly! Turns out that you��ve long had a countermeasure, why didn��t you say so earlier?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You idiot, following Big Brother for so many years, don��t you understand me yet?��


    White Light smacked his head and said gloomily, ��I �� I was also stupefied this time. Such a grand display, it��s still my first time encountering it! I say, Big Brother, just what method do you have? Could it be that �� you invited an Empyrean powerhouse over?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Invite what Empyrean powerhouse? I don��t have that ability! But �� we can create an Empyrean powerhouse ourselves!��

 Chapter 2005 - Facing an Army Alone!

    ��C-Create an Empyrean powerhouse?��


    White Light was first stunned, but he woke up to reality very soon, suddenly looking at Bai Tong.


    Among these people, if talking about who had the likelihood of becoming an Empyrean powerhouse, there was only Bai Tong.


    Bai Tong��s eyebrows raised up, and he shook his head and said, ��It��s no use. The Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill��s high-level version is a rank seven divine pill. You currently can��t refine it at all.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The last time I refined the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, I already researched this medicinal pill thoroughly long ago. Although I��m unable to let you recover to peak state right now, returning to Empyrean Realm is still achievable.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces revealed looks of wild elation.


    Didn��t this mean that in the future, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would have an Empyrean powerhouse to hold down the fort?


    Bai Tong also had a pleasant look of surprise as he said, ��Is this true?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill is indeed a little obscure, but if one really has a thorough understanding of it, it��s actually also just like that. Furthermore, some spirit medicines�� medicinal properties don��t require such obscure spirit medicines. Before going to Extreme Light Imperial City, I��ve already informed Myriad Treasure Tower to let them prepare rank six spirit medicines.��


    As he said this, Ye Yuan took out a medicinal pill.


    Bai Tong��s gaze could not help turning sharp, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    This kid really aggravated people to death without paying for it!


    Also just like that?


    No matter how insignificant it was, that was also a level nine medicinal pill!


    Other people followed it by the book but you were good, directly creating the medicinal pill.


    Similarly an alchemist, but why was the disparity so great?


    Bai Tong had to admit that this kid really had a talent that ordinary people found it hard to imagine in terms of Alchemy Dao.


    Ye Yuan��s understanding of medicinal pills had always pointed straight at the source.


    The things that he saw were totally different from other alchemists.


    Pill formulas were never some imperial edicts in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    ��How��s the medicinal effect? I heard that Empyrean Lu Yan is a Second Firmament Empyrean powerhouse,�� Bai Tong received the medicinal pill and asked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, your strength won��t be weaker than him. At that time, I��ll give you the Qinghong Battle Armor, so you won��t lose to him no matter what.��


    Everyone��s face was wild with joy. None of them thought that Ye Yuan had actually long prepared a contingency.


    ��But, Big Brother, Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital has three great Empyrean powerhouses! Although the other two are just First Firmament Empyreans, they still have that many True God powerhouses,�� White Light suddenly frowned and said.


    The high-level combat power was settled, but the other party��s force was too powerful.


    Once Bai Tong was tied down, two First Firmament Empyreans plus several thousand True God Realm powerhouses would attack. Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still could not block them!


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��A bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs; what��s there to be worried about? Everyone set your mind back at ease and have a good rest.��


    When everyone heard that, their eyes lit up.


    It seemed like Ye Yuan had ready plans to meet the situation long ago.


    Sure enough, one sentence from him and everyone really set their minds at ease.


    ��


    On this day, the gazes of the guards in the city suddenly turned sharp, discovering that there were countless little black dots in the horizon that were currently heading over here.


    Countless martial artists were akin to locusts passing through, making people��s scalps tingle.


    One of the guards said, ��This �� This �� so freaking spectacular! I have never seen before so many True God Realm powerhouses in this lifetime!��


    When that guard saw this scene, he was frightened until his legs quivered.


    After all, such a scene was truly rare in the Heavenspan World.


    Such a large-scale True God Realm martial artist battle was simply appalling to hear.


    Using this kind of terrifying line-up to deal with a tiny little imperial city was even more unheard of.


    Another guard had an ashen face as he said, ��It��s over, it��s over! How to fight? This is not on the same level at all!��


    Although everyone made up their minds to live and die together with Heavenly Eagle, seeing such a terrifying scene, each and every one of them still could not resist trembling.


    A guard commander swallowed his saliva and instructed his subordinates, ��S-Still in a daze for what? Hurry and go report to Lord Ye Yuan!��


    But that subordinate did not move, pointing at the horizon and muttering, ��N-No need. Lord Ye Yuan he �� he already came out.��


    Everyone looked over in the direction he was pointing at. It was oonly to see a young and handsome figure standing on top of city walls, standing with his hands behind his back, quietly looking into the distance.


    ��W-Why is His Excellency by himself? Could it be that he��s planning on dealing with these 100 thousand people alone?�� Everyone was filled with fear.


    A guard commander plucked up his courage and asked, ��Lord Ye Yuan, you �� What are you doing?��


    Ye Yuan turned around and flashed him a smile, saying ��All of you back down, leave it to me.��


    Everyone��s faces changed, this answer was too fantastical.


    Facing an army of 100 thousand alone?


    Furthermore, the other party had five to six thousand True God Realm powerhouses!


    That guard commander said resolutely, ��Your Excellency, you mustn��t be suicidal! Although we��re weak, we��ll fight to the end with you.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��All back down. Just a bunch of motley crew, so no need to be so nervous.��


    When everyone heard, they were rendered speechless.


    Motley crew?


    Even if it was a motley crew, reaching True God Realm, it was also not what they could withstand!


    Countless powerhouses arrived with a howl, giving people an extremely strong visual impact.


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved, going to welcome them.


    When the few people in front saw a young man coming head-on, they could not help having stunned faces.


    ��Stop!��


    More than 100 thousand martial artists gradually stopped, facing Ye Yuan from a distance.


    The few people in front were shockingly Ninth Firmament True God mighty experts.


    A middle-aged martial artist stepped out of the ranks and looked at Ye Yuan as he said with a cold smile, ��Brat, why is it just you alone? Where are the others? All scared until they don��t dare to come out anymore?��


    ��Heh, you��re that Ye Yuan punk, right? Do you regret it? Planning on coming out to meet your death now? However �� it��s useless, Lord Lu Yan already issued a death order. Not a single one of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s martial artists will be spared!�� Another Ninth Firmament True God stepped out of the ranks and said.


    ��Kid, you really ate a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall, to actually dare kill Miss Ziyi! Now, it��s useless even if you regret it too! The entire city has to be buried in death with you!��


    Several Ninth Firmament True Gods looked at Ye Yuan with amused expressions on their faces.


    A puny little Ye Yuan was merely an ant-like existence in their eyes.


    Even if he killed Lu Ziyi, even if he was exceptionally talented, he was just a Third Firmament True God.


    No matter how heaven-defying he was, it was also not worth mentioning in front of a Ninth Firmament True God.


    Any one of them that stepped out could easily pinch Ye Yuan to death.


    Ye Yuan had a calm expression. He just looked at the few Ninth Firmament True Gods indifferently and slowly opened his mouth and said, ��You all are overlords of a region. Looking on the account that your many years of bitter cultivation wasn��t easy, I��ll give you guys a chance now. Quickly leave and I��ll spare your lives!��


    The voice was not loud but transmitted into everyone��s ears clearly.


    Everyone had stunned faces, especially these Ninth Firmament True Gods in front of him.


    Was this kid frightened silly?


    What did he say just now?


    Spare our lives?


    Just based on him, a Third Firmament True God?


    ��Hahaha, kid, I didn��t hear it wrongly, right? Your meaning is that you alone are going to annihilate all of us?��


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded and said, ��You got it right.��

 Chapter 2006 - Hundred Miles Incense

    ��Hahaha!��


    After a moment of deathly silence, crazy laughter erupted from the army, shaking the surroundings.


    A Third Firmament True God said that he was going to exterminate an army of more than 100 thousand by himself. This joke was really too hilarious.


    ��Kid, let��s not talk about us, these Ninth Firmament True God city lords. But even those Eighth Firmament True Gods can also pinch you to death with one hand! You actually boasted shamelessly, saying that you��re going to exterminate all of us by yourself?�� A Ninth Firmament True God City Lord convulsed with laughter.


    ��Kid, we��ll watch right here, watch how you exterminate all of us!��


    ��We��re so scared! You look at me, my legs are scared until they are trembling!��


    ��Hahaha!��


    Another wave of loud laughter could be heard.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with an amused expression. It was as if looking at a fool.


    Before coming here, everyone thought that Ye Yuan was an exceptionally talented person. They did not expect that he was such a fool.


    This made the originally somewhat nervous atmosphere suddenly ease up.


    After all, this kid provided for them quite a bit of laughter on his deathbed.


    However, there was also someone who did not laugh.


    In the army, Yu Wenfeng��s expression was very ugly.


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually face the entire army alone by himself.


    Even though he also felt that Ye Yuan��s words were very funny, his understanding of Ye Yuan was much deeper than the others.


    For a person to be able to say this kind of words, if he was not a genuine fool, then he really had something to rely on.


    Yu Wenfeng knew that when Ye Yuan wiped out the Deathsoul Gate branch that time, he acted after planning it out, advancing gradually and entrenching himself at every step. In the end, not even a mosquito was let out.


    How could such a person possibly be a fool?


    That indicated that Ye Yuan really had a trump card!


    But he could not figure out even after racking his brain just what Ye Yuan��s trump card was.


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and said, ��Looks like my persuasion doesn��t have much use. I originally didn��t want to commit unnecessary slaughter, but since you guys are seeking death yourselves, then it can��t be blamed on me.��


    A Ninth Firmament True God used eyes like looking at a fool to look at Ye Yuan and said, ��I really don��t know what for Lord Lu Yan dispatched such a massive force. An idiot like you, randomly sending a few powerhouses over and you��d be eradicated. Kid, this city lord will be sending you to hell right away, to avoid you making a spectacle of yourself here.��


    Done talking, that person��s body released a horrifying power, crushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure also became blurry.


    Bang!


    This move slammed right onto space.


    That powerhouse��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock, ��Spatial shift! No wonder this kid is so arrogant, but �� is this your reliance? Everybody attack together; trample Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!��


    Rumble!


    The commotion was overwhelming. The Five Firmament army advanced toward Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, shaking heaven and earth.


    But right at this time, light rain suddenly drizzled down from the sky in a continuous stream.


    ��Eh? Why did it suddenly rain?��


    ��This rain is so strange. Why is it green?��


    ��Smells good �� This rain actually has an alcohol aroma!��


    ��


    The blue skies that originally spanned for ten thousand miles suddenly rained at this time. Furthermore, this rain was different from ordinary rain. It was actually glossy and green, and it was even accompanied by a slight alcohol aroma, making people intoxicated.


    This strange sight made everyone stop, all being extremely curious.


    Those few Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses leading were also curious at first.


    But very soon, they discovered something wrong.


    ��Hang on! There��s something �� wrong with this rain!��


    Everyone��s faces suddenly changed, but it was already too late!


    ��Puhwark!��


    A Celestial Deity Realm martial artist suddenly spurted blood wildly, bleeding with seven orifices, then plummeted down to the ground powerlessly.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��


    Following that, one tragic scream after another came over. People were falling toward the ground one after another.


    The sky was still drizzling rain, and now it was also raining corpses.


    Miserable wails echoed together. This area under the sky instantly became purgatory.


    In the crowd, the moment Yu Wenfeng laid eyes on this green rain, his expression suddenly changed, his scalp tingling.


    A feeling of extreme danger instantly welled up in his heart.


    He virtually did not hesitate in the slightest, using the fastest speed to rush over toward Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    However, it was already too late.


    In this stretch of space, the green rain was everywhere, entering from every pore, nowhere to hide.


    His body was already contaminated by raindrops.


    But he did not give up, using all the strength in his body and speeding over toward Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    ��Little Brother Ye, s-save me!�� Yu Wenfeng screamed madly.


    He already felt that his divine essence was starting to become stagnant, the terrifying poison was currently flowing everywhere in his body along with his blood.


    Even if he forcefully used divine essence to force it back, it did not have any effect at all as well.


    This situation frightened him until he was scared out of his wits.


    Suddenly, a light flashed. Yu Wenfeng felt himself being wrapped away by a spatial force.


    His heart eased up, suddenly feeling incomparably glad about his decision before.


    But the others were not so lucky.


    Those Celestial Deity Realm martial artists could not endure more than a while, directly croaking one after another.


    Luckily, the range of this rain was not large. Many Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses did not rush within the boundary of that green rain yet.


    When those people behind saw those struggling figures in front, each and every one of their eyes went wide.


    True God Realm martial artists had thick divine essence. The time that they persisted was a little longer.


    But it was also just a little longer.


    First Firmament and Second Firmament True God martial artists started kicking the bucket.


    ��Ahh, ahh, ahh! Save me! I don��t want to die!��


    ��Lu Yan, you��ve doomed us!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan, we were wrong! I beg you, save me!��


    ��


    In the air, miserable wails echoed together.


    Those late-stage True God powerhouses all had ghastly pale faces. Their strength was powerful, forcefully suppressing the poison.


    Except, that poison was akin to a desolate beast, wreaking havoc within their bodies, and actually had signs of losing control.


    A Ninth Firmament True God city lord said in agony, ��R-Really a mistake this time! Just what kind of existence is this Ye Yuan?��


    ��What poison is this? It��s actually so strong? I �� I almost can��t suppress it anymore!��


    ��This Ye Yuan simply has abilities that even gods and ghosts cannot fathom! When gods fight, small �� small imps like us suffer!��


    These Ninth Firmament True God were all incomparably anguished. Right now, their intestines were green with regret.


    Only then did they understand what Ye Yuan��s warning previously meant.


    He was really giving them a lease on life!


    But they did not believe it at all, and they took it as a joke.


    Only now did they know that turns out, they were the joke!


    It was just that, who could have predicted such means?


    Ye Yuan actually hid the poison in the void and made everyone get poisoned with this kind of indiscriminate method.


    His means were simply inconceivable!


    ��


    Feeling the poison in his body gradually dissipating, Yu Wenfeng had the joy of surviving a calamity.


    His complexion was deathly pale, using an extremely awe-stricken gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��M-Master Ye, just �� just what poison is this? Even Ninth Firmament True Gods can��t withstand it either!�� Yu Wenfeng said with lingering fear in his heart.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Wenfeng and lightly spat three words out of his mouth, ��Hundred �� Miles �� Incense!��

 Chapter 2007 - Rather Provoke 3000 Powerful Enemies Than Bully One Poison Master!

    ��Hundred Miles Incense ����


    Yu Wenfeng could not help becoming absent-minded. Such a beautiful name, but it killed upon infliction!


    Was �� this the strength of the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder?


    One would rather provoke 3000 powerful enemies than to bully one poison master!


    This sentence suddenly popped out in Yu Wenfeng��s mind.


    This was a saying that was widely circulated in the Heavenspan World. But in reality, it had already been too long since anyone remembered this sentence.


    The meaning was very simple: people would rather provoke 3000 powerful enemies, than to go against a poison master!


    Clearly, the deterrent force of a poison master was extremely great!


    Poison Dao was merely a branch of Alchemy Dao.


    And a powerful Alchemy God would rarely divide out his energy to go and research the poison path.


    Poison master was an occupation that made people fearful. Rarely would people dare to go and provoke them.


    Powerhouses who studied the poison path tend to be cruel and black-hearted people. They simply had no scruples when doing things.


    There was once a Seven-star Poison Master who poisoned a great imperial capital into a dead city in his fury. Not a single person escaped.


    In Lu Yan��s impression, Ye Yuan was just a peerless genius who could defeat and even kill Lu Ziyi.


    But he forgot that Ye Yuan was also an alchemy master who was formidable until it made people fearful!


    The Alchemy Dao that Ye Yuan understood had long already pointed right at the source. His Poison Dao attainments did not pale much in comparison to his Alchemy Dao.


    It was just that Ye Yuan rarely used poison, so the world did not know.


    But today, it shocked the world!


    Hundred Miles Incense was a type of strong poison that Ye Yuan manufactured. Even if a Ninth Firmament True God got hit by it, it was also nine chances to die and one chance to survive.


    But it was easier said than done to make a Ninth Firmament True God be poisoned.


    As long as True God Realm mighty experts opened up their protective divine essence and world domain, they could easily shield the poison gas outside.


    Hence, Ye Yuan made use of spatial law and laid down a large-scale poison array in the void.


    Inside this poison array, extremely strong corrosive Origin Eroding Water was even incorporated into it.


    As long as one entered this area of space and Ye Yuan activated the array formation, the Hundred Miles Incense would be able to seep into the world domain of martial artists along with the Origin Eroding Water, poisoning them from there.


    This was the grand array that Ye Yuan meticulously set up, specifically used to deal with these True God Realm powerhouses.


    As for those Celestial Deity Realms, they were merely bystanders who were implicated.


    The scope of the poison array that Ye Yuan set up was not large. The vast majority of Celestial Deity Realm martial artists escaped by the skin of their teeth.


    It was just that the shock in their hearts currently could not use words to describe at all.


    ��Too �� Too scary! Several thousand True God Realm powerhouses, 70% died in a blink of an eye! 70%!��


    ��Just what kind of a terrifying opponent has Empyrean Lu Yan provoked?!��


    ��Master Ye Yuan practiced medicine in order to help the people and has saved no idea how many people. But no one could have thought that he was actually also such a terrifying poison master!��


    ��


    Looking at the True God powerhouses who were still struggling, everyone sucked in cold breaths, faces turning white.


    They would never forget such a scene for life.


    It was too shocking!


    ��M-Master Ye was forced into it! He previously warned us. It��s just �� It��s just that we didn��t listen at all!�� Suddenly, someone said in the crowd.


    Death-like silence!


    They suddenly recalled that sigh of Ye Yuan��s.


    It turned out that all the way until the final moment, Ye Yuan did not wish to make use of this poison array too.


    But he had no choice. Facing such a powerful enemy, if he did not use cruel means, he could not tide over this disaster at all.


    Very soon, Seventh Firmament True God powerhouses started toppling one by one.


    When Yu Wenfeng looked at this scene, his heart felt an icy-chill.


    He had lived for a million years and had yet to be so grateful to a decision he made before.


    ��Hundred Miles Incense is a kind of strong poison that I created after breaking through to rank six. Even if it��s a Ninth Firmament True God, as long as they smell the fragrance, even if they have exceedingly formidable abilities, it��s also powerless to remedy the situation. I originally didn��t want to do this kind of terrible thing, but these people are clearly willing to be that Lu Yan��s lackey. I could only do this. I gave them the chance, but it was them who missed it themselves.�� Beside Yu Wenfeng��s ear, Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yu Wenfeng��s emotions could not calm down for a long time.


    Only after a long time did he suck in a deep breath and said, ��Master Ye already showed mercy! If you were really cruel and merciless, these 100 thousand over people, it��s likely that no more than a few people can survive!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��I roughly calculated the dimensions when laying down the poison array in the void. Any smaller and there will likely be fishes that slip through the net!��


    Yu Wenfeng listened until he palpitated with anxiety and fear. Ye Yuan��s means were simply inconceivable.


    Laying down such a horrifying poison array in the void, probably only a freak like Ye Yuan could accomplish it, right?


    The shock of the martial artists in his city was not the least bit lesser than those Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses outside.


    Their eyes were glued at the sky above, even forgetting to cheer.


    ��W-We won?�� In the crowd, no idea who suddenly said a sentence, immediately setting off a big hoo-ha.


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is really too incredible! I always thought that he was just an exceptional Alchemy God. I didn��t expect that his Poison Dao attainments are not the slightest bit inferior to his Alchemy Dao!��


    ��So those late-stage True God Realm powerhouses are �� are gone just like that?��


    ��Heh, they deserved to die! These people were all here to massacre the city. Even so, Lord Ye Yuan still gave them the chance. It was them who were seeking death!��


    ��Hahaha! We really followed the right person! Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City might be able to develop into a peak Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda in the future!��


    ��


    The city was rejoicing!


    Ever since Lu Yan issued the Empyrean Order, they had always been in the midst of despair.


    All the way until today, Ye Yuan gave Lu Yan a resounding slap with ruthless means!


    This slap was sufficient to shock the world!


    ��


    In the City Lord Manor at Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital.


    ��Brother Lu, at this time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City has probably already been leveled to the ground, right?�� Deng Yunzai was calculating the time, rather delighted in his heart.


    Lu Yan nodded his head and said, ��At this hour, it should be about there! Ye Yuan this brat should already be in despair, right? Wait until they detain that punk and bring him to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, this Empyrean will let him know what��s called life worse than death.��


    Dai Chunhao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Over 100 thousand martial artists bearing down on the borders, blotting out the sky; he��s probably trembling now, right?��


    Lu Yan sneered coldly and said, ��What this Empyrean wants is his despair! Otherwise, even grinding his bones to dust will still can��t dispel the hatred in this Empyrean��s heart.��


    The three people were currently talking when a black-clothed armored soldier scrambled into the hall frantically.


    ��City Lord! City Lord! Things are bad!�� The black-clothed armored soldier had a flustered expression, rambling incoherently.


    Lu Yan��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold smile, ��What��s going on? Didn��t I let you keep an eye on the intel there? Why are you panicking until like this? Could it be that the sky fell down?��


    The black-clothed armored soldier said with a crying face, ��City Lord, two lord Empyreans, the sky really fell down! Under the Empyrean Order, the 187 imperial capitals that are subordinate to the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, 4321 True God Realm powerhouses are �� all �� all ����


    Talking up to here, the black-clothed armored soldier could not continue anymore.


    Lu Yan��s entire body trembled. A terrifying aura was released from his body, and he yelled furiously, ��All what?��


    The black-clothed armored soldier swallowed his saliva and used a mosquito-like voice to say, ��Completely annihilated!��

 Chapter 2008 - Are You Brain-damaged?

    ��Talking nonsense!��


    These two words, Lu Yan practically squeezed them out of the crevices between his teeth.


    Deng and Dai two people, both of their eyes became wide-saucers. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. Their entire person was akin to being struck by lightning, turning stiff.


    This piece of news was seriously too astounding.


    Lu Yan pointed at that black-clothed armored soldier��s nose and roared angrily, ��In a tiny little imperial city, the strongest is merely Fourth Firmament True God. This Empyrean sent an army of 100 thousand, and just the Ninth Firmament True Gods are as many as more than a dozen. How can they possibly be completely wiped out? Did you not bring your brain when you come to report?��


    Lu Yan��s roar was virtually going to bring down the roof.


    The black-clothed armored soldier was practically turning limp on the ground under Lu Yan��s enormous pressure, unable to even speak.


    How could the might of an Empyrean be what a puny little soldier can withstand?


    At this time, Deng Yunzai was the first to come to his senses. He hurriedly pulled Lu Yan and said, ��Brother Lu Yan calm your anger, let him finish saying.��


    Done talking, he turned to the black-clothed armored soldier again and said, ��Quickly say what in the world had happened!��


    How could the black-clothed armored soldier dare to dawdle? He recounted the events of Ye Yuan poisoning several thousand True God powerhouses to death in detail.


    Lu Yan three people listened until they stared dumbfoundedly with slack jaws. They never would have thought that what they waited for was actually such a result.


    ��This �� This �� How can this be? How could it be like this?�� Lu Yan took several steps back in a row, face full of disbelief.


    The black-clothed armored soldier naturally could not possibly be lying. It was just that he was not willing to believe it himself.


    This piece of news made people unable to believe it. He was not willing to believe it at all.


    This way, wouldn��t he, this Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s city lord, become a lone general without an army?


    This move of Ye Yuan��s was really too ruthless!


    Right now, all of the imperial capitals under his command actually all become empty cities.


    Without a True God Realm powerhouse holding down the fort, how could an imperial capital still be worthy of being called an imperial capital?


    It directly dropped a level, becoming an imperial city!


    From great imperial capital directly to imperial capital, wouldn��t he, this great imperial capital��s city lord, become a laughing stock of the world?


    Lu Yan was virtually breaking down!


    This blade of Ye Yuan��s directly chopped the level of the cities under his jurisdiction in two at the waist.


    Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao similarly had vacant faces. They exchanged a glance, both seeing incredulity from the other party��s eyes.


    ��Void Poison Refining Formation, this kind of means is simply inconceivable! Just what kind of freak is this kid!�� Deng Yunzai said in shock.


    ��Rather provoke 3000 powerful enemies than to bully one poison master! Who could have thought that this kid also had such inconceivable attainments in the path of poison?�� Dai Chunhao said with a bitter look.


    The rule of Empyreans had always been as strong as iron.


    Unless it was similarly an Empyrean, otherwise, no one could shake them at all.


    But this kind of understanding was clearly not too applicable when used on Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, Lu Yan��s aura turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Looks like he��s forcing this Empyrean to personally make a move! This time, this Empyrean is going to flay his skin and pull out his tendons, refine his soul alive, make him never be able to reincarnate for all of eternity!��


    ��


    At Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there was rejoice among the people.


    ��Heh, Big Brother, since I knew you until now, I really rarely saw you use poison! This battle is to the immense satisfaction of the masses!�� White Light said with an excited face.


    ��Master��s methods are indeed inconceivable. We shouldn��t have doubted you!�� Bai Chen also said with an excited look.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Us alchemists will not talk about bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind, but we also shouldn��t commit too much slaughter. If not for that Lu Yan pushing people too far, I also wouldn��t be willing to use this poison formation.��


    As an alchemist, Ye Yuan had his own stance.


    But living two lifetimes, he was also not a foolish person.


    Other people already killed to the doorstep, he naturally would not fold his arms and wait for death.


    Bai Tong had not exited seclusion yet, he could only use this sort of method to meet the enemy.


    Otherwise, the one who died would be him.


    These few years, Yu Wenfeng had been in a state of immense shock the whole time.


    Toward Ye Yuan��s unfathomable means, he was long already wholeheartedly convinced.


    But at this time, his brows were tightly knitted and he said, ��Master Ye, this Yu doesn��t want to be a wet blanket. It��s just that �� this way, Empyrean Lu Yan will likely personally take action! Empyrean Lu Yan is a Second Firmament Empyrean expert! Furthermore, Deng Wei and Dai Yang you killed, their two major families�� ancestors are both Empyrean powerhouses!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled when he heard it and said, ��Many thanks for Brother Yu��s warning. But �� it��s just three Empyreans, so not a big deal.��


    Yu Wenfeng felt stifled when he heard that, nearly choking on a breath of air.


    Just �� three Empyreans?


    Empyreans �� were not a big deal?


    This �� This kind of thing, it was really his first time hearing it!


    Empyreans already stood at the apex of ordinary martial artists.


    Apart from those fleeting and ephemeral Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, no one dared to not take them seriously!


    Empyreans, even if First Firmament Empyrean, no one dared to slight them too.


    But three Empyreans were actually so beneath contempt coming out of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Right at this time, a horrifying aura instantly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    ��Ye Yuan punk, I give you three breaths of time! Hurry up and get out to die! If you��re late for a second, this Empyrean will directly turn Heavenly Eagle to dust!��


    A thunderous furious roar sounded out in every corner of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    This horrifying pressure made some weaker martial artists directly spurt fresh blood wildly, collapsing to the ground.


    ��Empyrean! It �� It��s an Empyrean powerhouse!��


    ��My God, an Empyrean powerhouse personally moved into action!��


    ��This �� What to do here?��


    ��


    The city was in a panic. This powerful pressure made them virtually about to suffocate.


    Yu Wenfeng��s face changed, his face instinctively revealing a fearful expression.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This Lu Yan is really domineering, wanting to annihilate the whole city at a drop of the hat. I��ll go and meet him!��


    Done talking, his figure moved, directly disappearing from inside the City Lord Manor.


    The others also had visible changes in countenance, hurriedly going out of City Lord Manor, and looking over toward the sky.


    Above the void, three figures stood in the air. That horrifying pressure made the world tremble.


    Ye Yuan��s figure emerged, facing the three people from far away.


    Lu Yan��s pupils constricted, clearly somewhat surprised at Ye Yuan��s spatial law.


    But very soon, his surprise was replaced by fury.


    ��You��re Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan��s face was without fear as he said coolly, ��That��s right.��


    Lu Yan��s two eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Do you know your crime?��


    Ye Yuan��s eyelids raised slightly and he said coolly, ��Don��t know.��


    ��You! Insolence! You killed my child Ziyi, poisoned my True God army to death; the crimes you committed are too numerous to be recorded! You actually said that you don��t know?�� Lu Ziyi was triggered by Ye Yuan��s attitude and could not refrain from saying in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan was still calm as he said, ��Lu Ziyi killed my citizens indiscriminately, imprisoned my loved ones, and even wanted to send me to Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital to carry out an execution on the spot. Your meaning is that I have to stand here and let her kill? You sent an army of 100 thousand to massacre the city, saying that spare none. Your meaning is also to have me stand here and let them kill? Are you brain-damaged?��


    Ye Yuan��s voice spread throughout the entire city, making everyone shudder with fear.


    Lord Ye Yuan was indeed well-deserving of being Lord Ye Yuan, these words were �� domineering!

 Chapter 2009 - Is an Empyrean Very Impressive?

    Lu Yan was angered until his expression was livid. Since he stepped in Empyrean, no one had dared to speak to him this way.


    But the moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, it was calling him brain-damaged.


    Disobeying an Empyrean was a serious crime!


    His two eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, ��Insolence! This Empyrean��s words are the words of an emperor! Ask you to die, you have to die! To dare disobey this Empyrean, even if you want to die today, you can��t do it either!��


    By the side, Deng Yunzai said in a cold voice, ��Brother Lu Yan, talking nonsense with him for what? Directly take this brat down and grind his bones to dust and refine his soul alive. See if he still dares to be so arrogant!��


    But when Ye Yuan heard that, his face revealed a mocking look. He said with a cold smile, ��Grind my bones to dust? Refine my soul alive? Your esteemed self��s methods are so ruthless!��


    Deng Yunzai snorted coldly and said, ��Why? Know to be scared? It��s useless! In front of us Empyreans, you��re an ant! Moreover, it��s three Empyreans standing in front of you! Those methods of yours are not worth mentioning at all in front of us! However �� to be able to alarm the three of us to come forward personally, you can be sufficiently proud!��


    In Deng Yunzai��s view, for a puny little Third Firmament True God to be able to startle the three of them mighty Empyreans to descend in person, this was something worthy of him to be proud of.


    How noble was the status of an Empyrean?


    They were normally utterly disdainful to take action against a puny little True God Realm.


    But today, they made an exception and came.


    When the martial artists in the city saw Ye Yuan facing the Empyrean powerhouses squarely, each and every one of their souls were about to fly out.


    ��Those are Empyrean powerhouses! Lord Ye Yuan gained their rancor right away?��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan would rather break than bend! If I were standing in front of an Empyrean, my legs would probably be soft.��


    ��I��m really breaking out into a sweat for Lord Ye Yuan! Although I feel that Lord Ye Yuan has other trump cards, I really can��t figure out what trump cards he still has, to be able to deal with Empyrean powerhouses.��


    ��


    To say that they were not worried, that was impossible.


    Although Ye Yuan created a miracle previously, exterminating several thousand True God Realm powerhouses by himself, these three people in front of him were Empyreans!


    Several thousand True God Realms sounded intimidating, but in front of an Empyrean powerhouse, they were like paper paste.


    Even if there was only one Deng Yunzai present, those several thousand true god realm powerhouses would not be able to stir up any waves at all.


    This was the disparity between Empyrean Realm and True God Realm!


    This kind of disparity could not be made up for using numbers at all.


    But Ye Yuan created miracles time and again, making Heavenly Eagle��s martial artists have a kind of incomprehensible confidence in him.


    This intense paradoxical sense made them worried about Ye Yuan��s safety. At the same time, they also look forward to what kind of heaven-shocking move he would come up with again.


    The moment he heard Deng Yunzai��s words, Ye Yuan was amused.


    ��Is an Empyrean very impressive? My methods are far from what you guys can surmise.��


    Lu Yan��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Whether or not it��s impressive, you��ll know right away! Your so-called measures are utterly not worth mentioning in front of absolute strength.��


    His patience was already completely whittled away by Ye Yuan.


    He thought that with him personally descending would make Ye Yuan scared, would make Ye Yuan shudder with terror, even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.


    But none of that happened!


    Not only that, each word that Ye Yuan had said choked him half to death.


    On Lu Yan��s body, the might of an Empyrean suddenly released, directly grabbing at Ye Yuan with a palm.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look, not having the intention of taking action at all.


    Lu Yan laughed coldly and said, ��The big talk was pretty good, but aren��t you still surrendering with folded arms?��


    But right at this time, a layer of ripples suddenly emerged in the space between him and Ye Yuan.


    An Empyrean pressure that did not belong to him suddenly erupted. A palm reached out from within the void, directly clashing together with him.


    Bang!


    Lu Yan��s figure retreated explosively, looking at that youth in white opposite, shock all over his face.


    ��Second Firmament �� Empyrean!�� Lu Yan said in disbelief.


    Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao��s pupils constricted, being surprised by this youth in white who suddenly appeared.


    When did Heavenly Eagle Imperial City have such an additional super powerhouse?


    Lu Yan��s brows were tightly knitted, his expression extremely grim as he looked at Bai Tong and said in a solemn voice, ��This fellow daoist, this Empyrean is the master of Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. Today, I came to clean up my household, please don��t intervene in this matter!��


    Bai Tong looked at Lu Yan and said with a look of amusement, ��Ye Yuan is my good brother, but you��re asking me not to intervene? You �� aren��t brain-damaged, right?��


    Lu Yan��s face instantly turned black as the bottom of a wok.


    Why was this guy��s mouth so sarcastic too?


    The words that came out were actually the exact same as Ye Yuan��s too!


    But what was even more in his heart was shock.


    A Second Firmament Empyrean actually addressed Ye Yuan, this Third Firmament True God, as his brother?


    Lu Yan was currently in a state of disbelief when a series of exclamations suddenly came from inside the city.


    ��I-Isn��t that Lord Bai Tong?��


    ��Eh, it really is! Wasn��t Lord Bai Tong Fourth Firmament True God? Why did he break through to become a Second Firmament Empyrean all of a sudden? This �� This is also too fast, right?��


    ��Hahaha! Lord Ye Yuan is Lord Ye Yuan! He indeed had a contingency plan!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled. It must be that he triggered with medicinal pills, that Lord Bai Rong broke through to Empyrean Realm!��


    ��


    Bai Tong had taken action several times, the martial artists in the city were all not foreign to him.


    With this appearance, he leaped from Fourth Firmament True God to Second Firmament Empyrean all of a sudden, making everyone exclaim with admiration.


    They did not know that Bai Tong was originally an Empyrean powerhouse. This kind of leaping-style breakthrough was simply incredible!


    How shocking were the eyes and ears of Empyrean powerhouses?


    The discussion of the martial artists in the city made Lu Yan three people��s eyes almost pop out.


    A Fourth Firmament True God?


    This one front of them was that Heavenly Eagle��s Fourth Firmament True God?


    Just how long had it been, he directly broke through to Second Firmament Empyrean from Fourth Firmament True God?


    There was a myriad of profanities running across in Lu Yan three people��s minds.


    Don��t be so demoralizing!


    Just what �� medicinal pill did you freaking refined?


    Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said, ��Brat, you think that pulling out a Second Firmament Empyrean and it��s fine? Don��t you forget, we have three Empyrean powerhouses!��


    As he said, he said to Deng and Dai two people, ��I��ll tie down this fellow, you guys go and deal with that punk! Take him down immediately. Don��t play with him anymore!��


    Deng and Dai two people nodded their heads in response. Lu Yan leaped, clashing together with Bai Tong.


    Bai Tong��s sleeves waved, a folded fan lightly pointed out. It was shockingly an empyrean spirit treasure!


    It was only to see him step forward and actually ignore Ye Yuan who was behind him.


    A powerful aura hit from head-on, Lu Yan��s face changed.


    He did not have an empyrean spirit treasure!


    How could he have empyrean spirit treasure? How could everyone have one?


    With this exchange of blows, he was immediately suppressed by Bai Tong.


    ��Quickly attack, this guy isn��t easy to deal with!�� Lu Yan roared loudly.


    When the martial artists in the city saw the situation, they could not help getting a big shock.


    ��Not good, Lord Ye Yuan was too careless! The other party has three Empyreans!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan, quickly run!��


    ��


    The martial artists in the city all cried out in shock.


    Deng and Dai two people exchanged a glance, looked at Ye Yuan, and said with a cold smile, ��Punk, resign yourself to fate! This time, I see who else will come and save you!��


    Done talking, the two people stepped forward, and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, there was another ripple in the void. Two figures stepped out of the void.

 Chapter 2010 - Repeated Surprises

    ��It��s another two Empyrean powerhouses!��


    ��My God, is this a magic trick?��


    ��Sure enough, Lord Ye Yuan��s methods are inconceivable!��


    ��


    Looking at those two figures above the void, the martial artists in the city seethed with excitement.


    Their eyes were full of worship, already treating Ye Yuan as a godlike existence.


    Back then, when Lu Ziyi came to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, how insufferably arrogant was she?


    These Empyrean powerhouses were high and mighty, aloof from the world.


    But now, their faces were slapped resoundingly by Lord Ye Yuan.


    These martial artists, who were living at the bottom, were really satisfied to the max.


    Everyone knew that Empyrean powerhouses could not be opposed, but no one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually magicked out three Empyrean powerhouses like a magic trick.


    You send an army of 100 thousand, I annihilated all of your True God powerhouses.


    You had three great Empyreans come, I��ll magick out three great Empyreans!


    No matter what means you have, in front of Lord Ye Yuan, you could only be crushed dejectedly.


    ��Is an Empyrean very impressive?��


    This sentence was still ringing in his ears!


    It was not that Ye Yuan was arrogant, but that he really had the capital to look down on Lu Yan.


    These two great Empyreans that suddenly appeared, one had an old figure, but was in good health; the other reached middle-aged, seemingly in high and vigorous spirit.


    However, Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao��s current gazes were all gathered on that middle-aged person, full of disbelief.


    ��Duan Yi!�� Two people cried out in surprise at the same time, gazes full of disbelief.


    This middle-aged person, they all recognized him, it was precisely Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Myriad Treasure Tower��s tower lord, Duan Yi!


    They were too familiar with Duan Yi. He had already been stuck at peak Ninth Firmament True God Realm for several hundred thousand years.


    Barring no accidents, it was totally impossible to break through to the Empyrean Realm.


    But the problem was, something impossible had occurred now!


    ��You �� You actually broke through to the Empyrean Realm?��


    Deng Yunzai felt that this world was too crazy. Was the Empyrean Realm so easy to breakthrough to?


    Duan Yi smiled and said, ��A fluke, a fluke! For this Duan to be able to break through, it was all thanks to Elder Ye��s credit. If not for him refining a Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill for this Duan, this Duan can forget about breaking through to the realm of Empyrean in this lifetime.��


    The pupils of Deng and Dai two people constricted, crying out in surprise, ��H-Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill! How is this possible?��


    Duan Yi just smiled and said, ��What does the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill count for to Elder Ye? His methods, you all can��t imagine it at all. Otherwise, how could he become our Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder?��


    ��H-Head Elder?��


    These two people seemed to have been struck by bolts of lightning, standing transfixed on the spot.


    They only thought that Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao strength was decent. How could they have imagined that Ye Yuan was actually the Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder?


    Alchemy Celestial Pavilion elders, they were all peak Six-star Alchemy Gods, and their strengths were exceedingly formidable.


    Ye Yuan, a mere Third Firmament True God, actually overpowered a group of peak Sixth Firmament Alchemy Gods?


    They suddenly discovered that their understanding of Ye Yuan was far too little!


    In Martial Dao, Ye Yuan slew Lu Ziyi who comprehended the laws of five elements.


    In Poison Dao, Ye Yuan refined a formation in the void, eradicating thousands of True God powerhouses.


    In Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan even refined the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill, letting the Duan Yi who could not break through to the Empyrean Realm for several hundred thousand years, to now successfully break through becoming an Empyrean.


    Living to a ripe old age, they had never seen before such a monstrous figure too!


    Far away, the Lu Yan in the middle of a great battle was similarly incomparably shocked in his heart.


    He never thought that the land he governed actually produced such an alchemy-martial dual unrivaled prodigy.


    But, under this kind of circumstances, both parties already did not have room to salvage it!


    ��Stop talking nonsense with them! Those two people merely just broke through to Empyrean Realm. Hurry up and take care of them! Don��t you guys want to avenge Deng Wei��s and Dai Yang��s enmity?�� Lu Yan said with a cold shout.


    Dai Chunhao��s gaze turned to the other old man, his gaze cold as he said, ��Who is your esteemed self? Why are you intervening in my Five Firmament��s affairs?��


    It was only to see that old man said coolly, ��This old man was originally Extreme Light Imperial City��s Profound Secrets Pavilion��s pavilion lord, Jian Hongxiao. Obtaining Ye Yuan��s help, I returned to Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital now and embarrassingly I am now a Stellar Hall��s elder!��


    ��What? You �� You��re Jian Hongxiao? Weren��t you a Celestial Deity Realm martial artist? Why �� Why did you also break through to the Empyrean Realm now?��


    Deng and Dai two people were practically about to break down.


    Information about this Jian Hongxiao, they naturally knew. After all, Extreme Light Imperial City was not considered far from Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital.


    This Ye Yuan really seemed to be performing a magic trick, turning a Fourth Firmament True God into a Second Firmament True God in a short time, and similarly turning a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse into a First Firmament Empyrean.


    Jian Hongxiao smiled and said, ��This Empyrean got a backlash from Heavenly Dao back then. My strength greatly diminished. That��s why I would lay dormant in Extreme Light Imperial City. Now, obtaining Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill, not only did my strength recover full, it even improved a step further, breaking through to the Empyrean Realm.��


    These two people were turning numb.


    What kind of place was Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital?


    That was the Jian Family��s territory!


    They could not give Jian Hongxiao face, but could it be that they were not going to give face to Jian Sutao behind Jian Hongxiao?


    Moreover, there was even a Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets that the entire Heavenspan World dreaded behind them!


    Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao exchanged a glance. Suddenly, their gazes turned sharp.


    ��Gentlemen, Ye Yuan and our enmity cannot coexist under the same sky! Today, no matter what identity you have, those who dare bar us from capturing Ye Yuan, we��ll determine life and death!�� Deng Yunzai said ferociously.


    Asking them to stomach this grievance, they seriously could not do it!


    It was just that their threat did not have any effect at all. Duan Yi just said coolly, ��Ye Yuan is my Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder, so this Empyrean naturally has to ensure his safety. Want to fight, then fight!��


    Jian Hongxiao also had a calm face as he said, ��Ye Yuan and I are sworn friends for life. Want to kill him, step over this Empyrean��s corpse!��


    As he said, Duan Yi and Jian Hongxiao two people turned their palms over, each taking out a weapon.


    In Duan Yi��s hand was a bone sword.


    In Jian Hongxiao��s hand was a war banner.


    ��E-Empyrean spirit treasures! You guys just broke through to the Empyrean Realm not long and you actually have empyrean spirit treasures already?�� Deng Yunzai was practically going mad.


    These two empyrean spirit treasures were naturally the bone sword and Stellar War Banner.


    These two empyrean spirit treasures when placed in Duan Yi��s and Jian Hongxiao��s hands, the power was more than a magnitude stronger than in Ye Yuan��s hands.


    ��Want to fight, then fight! What��s with all these nonsense?��


    Duan Yi laughed coldly. Thrusting a sword out, the wind and clouds changed colors.


    The moment Jian Hongxiao��s Stellar War Banner unfurled, horrifying stellar energy swept over towards Dai Chunhao.


    Four Empyrean powerhouses instantly clashed together.


    Although Duan Yi and Jian Hongxiao two people just entered Empyrean, what they consumed were vast spirit divine pills. Their realm had long already consolidated. There was no way they looked like they just entered the Empyrean Realm.


    Coupled with the empyrean spirit treasures in their hands, after both sides came into contact, they directly crushed Deng and Dai two people until they could not breathe.


    Over there, Lu Yan became more alarmed the more he fought, and wanted to vomit blood the more he fought.


    When Bai Tong made his move, he did not defend at all!


    Only after several exchanges did Lu Yan discover that Bai Tong was actually wearing an empyrean spirit treasure on his body!


    Bai Tong was holding an offensive-type empyrean spirit treasure in his hand, and he was wearing a defensive-type empyrean spirit treasure on his body. However, the two people��s cultivation realms were more or less the same. So how could Lu Yan fight against him?


    After a few exchanges, Lu Yan could only defend passively. How was there still strength to counterattack?

 Chapter 2011 - Make a Trip With Me

    Above the void, two figures clashed.


    Lu Yan retreated in defeat time and again under Bai Tong��s folded fan, virtually without strength to retaliate.


    If he really fought recklessly, he could hurt Bai Tong too.


    But the problem was, Bai Tong was wearing the Qinghong Battle Armor on his body. The same damage, he suffered 100%. Bai Tong would only suffer 50% or even 30%.


    Continuing to fight like this, the one to cave first could only be him.


    Looking at the other two areas again, Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao were similarly being suppressed by their opponents.


    Lu Yan��s heart sank to rock-bottom with a rush.


    The three of them came in a threatening and overbearing manner, fully thinking that they had cornered Ye Yuan. Who knew that they were actually being forced into a desperate strait by Ye Yuan now?


    Producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another was talking about Ye Yuan this kind, right?


    Even though Ye Yuan was just a puny little True God Realm, the appearance of these three great Empyreans in front of them all had direct connections with Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore �� when did Empyrean powerhouses and empyrean spirit treasures become so worthless?


    One tremendous force after another came over, Lu Yan��s innards were in upheaval, virtually wanting to vomit blood.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Finally, Lu Yan could not refrain from spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    With consecutive clashes, he already sustained considerable internal injuries.


    ��No way! At this rate, I��ll definitely succumb here! This guy��s strength is above mine to begin with, and he also has the help of empyrean spirit treasures. I don��t have a chance at all!��


    Lu Yan finally got a clear understanding of the situation.


    From exchanging blows until now, the combat power that Lu Yan exhibited far surpassed Lu Yan��s imaginations.


    How was this a newbie who just entered Empyrean?


    This was clearly an old eccentric who had entered Empyrean for many years!


    Lu Yan already faintly guessed in his heart that Bai Tong was likely Empyrean Realm in the first place. It was just that because of some reasons he would fall to True God Realm.


    But this way, he clearly had even less of a chance.


    Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said, ��Where��s there��s life there��s hope! Retreat!��


    Done talking, Lu Yan��s divine essence surged, using even the strength to suckle for milk, finally forcing Bai Tong back a little.


    And he seized this opportunity to turn around and escape.


    Bai Tong just smiled coldly and said, ��Want to go? How can it be that easy?��


    It was only to see his figure flash and actually directly block Lu Yan��s path.


    Lu Yan��s pupils constricted and he cried out in shock, ��S-Spatial law!��


    Bai Tong was not an ordinary Empyrean powerhouse, he also knew spatial law!


    An emotion called despair spread in Lu Yan��s heart.


    He gritted his teeth and said to Bai Tong in a cold voice, ��Must you force me to mutual destruction?��


    Bai Tong looked at him very calmly and said, ��Mutual destruction? Just based on you?��


    He was originally a peak Empyrean super powerhouse. How much greater was his strength compared to Lu Yan?


    Although his realm was more or less the same as Lu Yan��s at present, he still had Ye Yuan��s Qinghong Battle Armor and his Carefree Jade Fan, these two empyrean spirit treasures.


    No matter what trump card Lu Yan had, he did not fear in the slightest too.


    Bai Tong waved his hand and attacked again without another word.


    Lu Yan felt his scalp tingle. Helpless, he could only meet the battle passively.


    However, although Ye Yuan��s side was domineering, wanting to take the other party down within a short time also could not be done.


    Both parties�� battle actually lasted for three days and nights.


    The current Lu Yan had a head of disheveled hair, his breathing being in disorder. How was there any demeanor of the lord of a city still? Rather, he was exactly like the beggars on the roadside.


    The other two people were also not much better than him, already forced into a desperate strait.


    ��Ye Yuan, I��m an Empyrean under Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether��s command. You dare to kill me? You can create several Empyreans, but can you create a Heavenly Emperor? If you kill me, Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether definitely won��t let you off!�� Lu Yan used the last of his strength to roar.


    The moment these words came out, the entire city was shocked.


    If they were still able to imagine Empyreans, Heavenly Emperor already exceeded their imaginations.


    Offending a Heavenly Emperor, the consequences were extremely terrifying.


    At the top of city walls, Ye Yuan stood in the air, and said coolly: ��Even if I let you off, could it be that you won��t go find Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether to get reinforcements? At that time, what will I use to restrain you? Since that��s the case, better to kill you. Brother Bai, don��t need to hold back, feel free to kill.��


    Bai Tong nodded slightly, the force in his hands becoming heavier.


    Both parties�� conflict clearly could not be mediated already. Wouldn��t threatening again now be a joke?


    The matters in the future, talk again in the future.


    Furthermore, Bai Tong had a score in his heart.


    Even if he really killed Lu Yan, Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether might not really get angry.


    After all, a future Seven-star Alchemy God compared to a mere Second Firmament Empyrean, which held greater weight, it was impossible for Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether to not be able to differentiate.


    Toward an existence like Ye Yuan, the significance of roping in was clearly greater than killing and being merry after.


    Bang!


    Bai Tong pointed a fan out, Lu Yan��s world domain was akin to having suffered a heavy blow, figure directly flying out backward, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    The current Lu Yan was already an arrow at the end of its flight.


    During this time, Lu Yan naturally unleashed all of his killing moves. But Bai Tong had two empyrean spirit treasures and did not fear the other party��s killing moves at all.


    Bai Tong��s two eyes narrowed slightly and said coolly, ��About time to send you on your way!��


    Lu Yan��s pupils constricted, eyes revealing a look of unwillingness and despair.


    He never dreamed that he would actually die here.


    This place was just a tiny little imperial city!


    Bai Tong pointed a fan out again. A powerful white light headed straight for Lu Yan.


    But right at this time, a layer of ripple surfaced in space.


    A figure stepped out of the void and just lightly waved a hand. The white light was instantly extinguished.


    Bai Tong��s pupils constricted, looking at the arrival with apprehension.


    This was a gray-robed old man. The aura on his body, even the current Bai Tong also felt terrified.


    In the city, including Ye Yuan, their faces all changed.


    This gray-robed old man was very strong!


    When Lu Yan saw the old man, his face revealed a look of wild elation and he cried out in surprise, ��Brother Cang Yuan! Hahaha, you came right in the nick of time! Ye Yuan this traitor actually dared to murder an Empyrean, his crime is unpardonable.��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan did not look at Lu Yan, but looked towards Bai Tong and said, ��You esteemed self wants to kill my Extreme Nether Bodhidharma. That is treating Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether too lightly, right?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and his figure moved, stepping forward to welcome, saying coolly, ��It was him who was overbearing. We merely retaliated. Why is it only he��s allowed to kill and others aren��t allowed to kill him?��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, ��You��re that Ye Yuan who poisoned several thousand True God Realms to death?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what if yes?��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Then that��s right, make a trip with me.��


    Hearing this, everyone��s faces changed.


    This Empyrean powerhouse who suddenly appeared was actually here for Ye Yuan.


    They did not expect that the matter of Ye Yuan poisoning several thousand True God Realms to death actually spread to Extreme Nether Bodhidharma.


    This was troublesome!


    This Empyrean Cang Yuan��s strength was clearly stronger than Bai Tong.


    The realm of Empyrean Realm, even if it was just the difference of one minor realm, it was also a gap that could not be made up for.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly and he said, ��If I don��t go with you?��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan smiled slightly, the Empyrean pressure on his body suddenly released.


    A power that was several times stronger than Lu Yan spread between heaven and earth.


    ��That��s not up to you!�� Empyrean Cang Yuan looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.

 Chapter 2012 - Ye Yuan’s Connections

    ��Fourth Firmament Empyrean! This is Fourth Firmament Empyrean!��


    ��My God! What to do now?��


    ��The realm of Empyrean Realm, one realm is one world. In front of a Fourth Firmament Empyrean, Lord Ye Yuan likely has no means to contend anymore!��


    ��


    There was a cry of exclamations in the city. They were all shocked by the strength that Empyrean Cang Yuan exhibited.


    Empyrean Realm, the disparity of each minor realm was incomparably huge.


    Among the powerhouses present, Bai Tong was the strongest.


    But even if he was carrying two empyrean spirit treasures on him, it also could not make up for this massive gap.


    Let alone that fact that Fourth Firmament Empyrean was middle-stage Empyrean Realm, more than a level stronger than initial-stage Empyrean Realm.


    No one could have thought that such a huge change would actually occur.


    A Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda sent a messenger in person, and it was a middle-stage Empyrean Realm super powerhouse straight away.


    Such a person, even if Ye Yuan had exceedingly formidable abilities, he was also powerless to turn the tables anymore!


    Empyrean Cang Yuan looked towards Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Are you walking by yourself? Or do you want this Empyrean to take action?��


    Being snatched from the jaws of death, Lu Yan could not resist bursting into laughter and said, ��Brat, weren��t you very arrogant? Didn��t you want to kill this Empyrean? Now, this Empyrean will see what means you still have to be arrogant!��


    Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao also revealed looks of wild joy on their faces. This switch from great sorrow to overwhelming joy made them forget their identities as Empyreans for a moment, roaring with laughter without any scruples.


    ��Ye Yuan punk, this Empyrean will definitely tear you into pieces!�� Deng Yunzai gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    As Empyrean powerhouses, they had never thought that they would be in despair at the hands of a True God Realm.


    Rather, it was Empyrean Cang Yuan who swept a glance over the three people rather surprisedly, not knowing why they had such great grievances.


    He had just hurried over. How could he have thought that these three great Empyreans were all created by Ye Yuan single-handedly?


    The ones who wanted to kill them were clearly those three great Empyrean powerhouses!


    Even if Ye Yuan poisoned thousands of True God Realms to death, these three people also would not go so far as to hate Ye Yuan like this, right?


    Looking at their appearances, they did not have much hatred toward those three Empyrean powerhouses instead.


    This situation was very strange.


    While at this time, Jian Hongxiao blocked in front of Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Fellow Daoist Cang Yuan, I��m Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s Stellar Hall��s elder, Jian Hongxiao. Ye Yuan is my Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s close friend. Are you sure you want to make things difficult for my Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital?��


    Duan Yi also spoke up, ��Ye Yuan is my Alchemy Celestial Pavilion��s head elder, conversing as peers with Empyrean Flutterfeather. Are you sure you want to bring him away like this?��


    Cang Yuan��s expression finally changed.


    Clearly, these two great deities made his countenance have a visible change.


    Apart from Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether, no one dared to provoke these two great deities in the entire Extreme Nether Bodhidharma!


    A measly little True God Realm martial artist actually had such a profound background?


    Cang Yuan��s shock was by no means insignificant.


    He thought about it and shook his head and said, ��This Empyrean is on Head Elder��s orders to bring Ye Yuan back to Extreme Nether Bodhidharma, Maybe �� it isn��t a bad thing. If the Bodhidharma thinks highly of him, he will naturally have a meteoric rise in the future, with his future prospects being limitless.��


    When Lu Yan three people heard that, their faces could not help changing.


    This was not the outcome that they wanted to see!


    But very soon, Lu Yan��s expression calmed down.


    As long as he entered the Extreme Nether Bodhidharma, there would naturally be ways to deal with him in the future.


    Ye Yuan looked at Extreme Nether Bodhidharma Cang Yuan and said coolly, ��Then help me thank Head Elder for his good intentions. But �� this Ye doesn��t have plans to go to Extreme Nether Bodhidharma.��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan��s brows furrowed when he heard that. This punk was impervious to everything!


    It was only to see him snort coldly and said, ��Little brat, truly refusing face when it��s given! A mere True God, do you really take yourself to be somebody? Even if the two of their identities are extraordinary, do you feel that with their strength, it can awe this Empyrean? Forget it! Since that��s the case, this Empyrean can��t be bothered to waste his breath either. I��ll directly bring you away.��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Cang Yuan released his aura and strode over on the air.


    With each step that he took, Cang Yuan��s imposing momentum grew a notch stronger.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Finally, Jian Hongxiao and Duan Yi could not endure it, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    The disparity was too great!


    ��Move aside!�� Cang Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly. Jian Hongxiao��s and Duan Yi��s figures were actually unable to hold steady and were directly sent flying by a tremendous force.


    Without these two people blocking in front, Ye Yuan immediately felt a terrifying pressure come from straight ahead.


    The pressure of a Fourth Firmament Empyrean was too fearsome, crushing him until his bones were creaking.


    Cang Yuan looked straight at Ye Yuan and said calmly, ��Brat, you��re too insolent. You think that there��s a few Empyrean backing you up, you can disregard this Empyrean? This Empyrean tells you, the might of an Empyrean �� can��t be defied! Now, come with me!��


    Finished talking, Cang Yuan directly reached his hand out and grabbed toward Ye Yuan.


    The world domain that surged forward like a torrential tide crushed Ye Yuan until he did not have the slightest strength to retaliate at all.


    However, Cang Yuan suddenly discovered that a hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, his gaze full of amusement.


    Suddenly, Cang Yuan��s face changed, his figure retreating explosively.


    Two figures stepped out of the void, one elderly and one young.


    The old man looked at Cang Yuan and said coolly, ��This old man is Shiyuan Chaoyuan. Brother Cang Yuan, please give face and lift your hand high up in mercy.��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan��s face changed and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� You��re Shiyuan Great Imperial Capital��s city lord, Empyrean Chaoyuan?��


    The old man slowly nodded his head and said, ��That��s right. It��s precisely this old man.��


    Cang Yuan frowned and said, ��Brother Chaoyuan is under Heavenly Emperor Cloudbright��s command. Your hand is extending too far, right?��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan said coolly, ��Little Friend Ye Yuan is my Shiyuan��s friend. Hearing that someone wants to be detrimental toward him, this old man specially came forth, wanting to be a mediator.��


    Although the words were said courteously, the meaning of siding with him was already very clear.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan still had a young man beside him. Who was it if not Song Yu?


    The matter of Ye Yuan massacring several thousand True God Realms truly blew up too big.


    After Song Yu heard about it, he immediately asked Empyrean Chaoyuan, hoping that he would come over and help Ye Yuan.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan did not turn it down either, directly coming over.


    After Song Yu returned, he already told Empyrean Chaoyuan all about the events in the Ancient God Battlefield. Empyrean Chaoyuan was also extremely shocked after listening to it.


    Disregarding that Ye Yuan gave him a lucky chance, just based on that Ye Yuan was a super Alchemy Dao genius. This identity was also worth it for him to be friends with!


    Empyrean Cang Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Brother Chaoyuan��s face isn��t big enough yet! Don��t you forget, this place is Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether��s territory!��


    ��Is that so? Then �� what if you add us in?��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when several more figures stepped out of the void.


    It was another three great Empyrean powerhouses!


    Including Empyrean Chaoyuan, the auras emitting off of these few people actually did not lose to Empyrean Cang Yuan!


    ��This one is Redleaf Fivepeaks!��


    ��This one is Fufeng Skyhowl!��


    ��This one is Bluemist Redcandle!��


    Three great Empyrean cupped their fists at Cang Yuan, each introducing themselves.


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. No one would have thought that so many Empyrean powerhouses would actually have shown up in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City today.


    Furthermore, each and every one of these Empyrean powerhouses was a super powerhouse whose name shook a region.


    Cang Yuan looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost, incredibly shocked in his heart.


    Just what kind of God was this kid, to actually be able to trouble so many overlords of a region to come and protect him from hundreds of millions of miles away!

 Chapter 2013 - What a Grand Spectacle

    Empyrean Chaoyuan, Empyrean Fivepeaks, Empyrean Skyhowl, and Empyrean Bluemist, these four people were all Fourth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouses.


    Furthermore, the four of them belonged under different Heavenly Emperors.


    This line-up was simply outrageous to hear.


    Counting in the Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital behind Jian Hongxiao and the Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital behind Duan Yi, there were six major forces fervently supporting Ye Yuan!


    A Third Firmament True God brat actually had such a fearsome influence!


    Inside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, it was long already boiling with excitement.


    This show today was truly exciting beyond words, reversing continuously.


    Ye Yuan��s trump cards were dealt out one after another, making people see a blur, more than they could keep up with.


    Especially these four great Empyreans this display, the hearts of the martial artists in the city raced madly.


    These many middle-stage Empyrean Realm super powerhouses, they had never even seen before in their lives!


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is simply incredible! So many Empyrean powerhouses are all standing up for him!��


    ��My God, in all my years, I��ve never seen before such a grand spectacle. Even if I die today, I��d also be willing!��


    ��We really followed the right person! Today, even if the Jade Emperor came, he can forget about bringing away His Excellency too!��


    ��


    The current Heavenly Eagle martial artists were all incomparably proud. They felt proud for being a Heavenly Eagle��s martial artist.


    Because they followed a miracle-like lord!


    ��Brother Cangyuan, you��re a leviathan of a region. Why is there a need to make things difficult for a puny little imperial city? Can you sell Fivepeaks face and drop this matter?�� Empyrean Fivepeaks said coolly.


    ��Brother Cang Yuan, Little Friend Ye is a remarkable talent. Even if you guys are inviting, you also can��t use this way of inviting!�� Empyrean Bluemist also said.


    Empyrean Cang Yuan��s expression became incomparably ugly. Currently, he had ridden a tiger and found it somewhat hard to get off.


    The line-up in front of him was too great, great until he could not quite withstand it anymore.


    The Lu Yan three people behind him were long already staring dumbfoundedly with their mouths gaping.


    The three of them were thoroughly struck dumb with amazement by Ye Yuan��s methods and connections.


    A measly little Third Firmament True God could actually move six leviathans of a region to protect and escort him.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    Empyrean Cang Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, ��Fellow Daoists, acting like this is also looking down on my Extreme Nether Bodhidharma too much! What if I insist on bringing this kid away today?��


    In his own territory, Empyrean Cang Yuan did not want to lose face.


    Even if he braved all obstacles, he also had to bring Ye Yuan away.


    At this time, Empyrean Chaoyuan slowly turned around, looked toward Ye Yuan, and said smilingly, ��Little Friend Ye Yuan, it��s merely a city. Why not go to my Shiyuan? This Empyrean will promise you an imperial capital. How about that? At that time, even if you do as you please in the imperial capital, nobody will bother with you either!��


    Empyrean Fivepeaks chuckled and said, ��Brother Chaoyuan, you really know how to be a good guy! Little Friend Ye Yuan, come to my Redleaf, this Empyrean will promise you ten imperial capitals!��


    The other two people were naturally unwilling to show weakness and also promised great wealth to Ye Yuan.


    Song Yu and several good friends naturally also urged by the side, all hoping for Ye Yuan to go to their territories.


    On one side, Empyrean Cang Yuan��s face was purple.


    If Ye Yuan went to other great imperial capitals, then could he still interfere with him?


    Weren��t you Extreme Nether Bodhidharma?


    He isn��t in your Extreme Nether Bodhidharma now, can you still interfere with him?


    Furthermore, these few people��s words were clearly said for Cang Yuan to hear, choking him badly.


    Finished talking, the few Empyrean powerhouses all looked toward Ye Yuan with looks of anticipation, hoping for him to pick their side.


    Already ended up in this state, Ye Yuan had no reason to continue staying.


    Clearly, leaving was the best choice.


    With Ye Yuan��s talent and means, with how vast the world was, he could go anywhere.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists towards the few Empyreans and said smilingly, ��Seniors�� adulation, this Ye appreciates it. It��s just that this Ye has lived for many years in Heavenly Eagle and already can��t bear to part with this place.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone revealed looks of surprise.


    Especially the few great Empyrean, they did not expect that Ye Yuan actually refused so straightforwardly.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan said in surprise, ��Little Friend Ye, you have to think clearly.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Thank you, Seniors, for coming to aid me from afar. It��s just that this Ye��s mind is made up, hope that Seniors don��t take offense.��


    Cang Yuan sneered when he heard that and said, ��You see, he doesn��t appreciate the kindness at all! Exalted Empyrean powerhouses actually got snubbed despite their good intentions, truly laughable!��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan frowned slightly and said coolly, ��Little Friend Ye Yuan he naturally has the capital to reject. There��s no need to sow discord.��


    Cang Yuan��s pupils constricted, not expecting that these few were actually so protective of Ye Yuan!


    He snorted coldly and said, ��You guys can get in the way for a moment. But could it be that you can still block for a lifetime? Could it be that the few of you can still garrison at Heavenly Eagle every day?��


    Empyrean Cang Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when a storm occurred again.


    Another two figures slowly stepped out of the void!


    Cang Yuan��s pupils constricted, staring at those two figures in disbelief.


    ��Another two Empyreans! My God, how many Empyrean powerhouses are coming today before it��s considered done?��


    ��Hang on! Why do I feel that these two Empyreans�� auras are unfathomable, even stronger than Empyrean Cang Yuan they all?��


    ��It really is! Could it be that �� these two great Empyreans are even stronger than them?��


    ��


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was already thoroughly ignited. Today��s spectacle, they felt that they could go out and boast for a lifetime already.��


    Such a grand spectacle was rarely seen in all of their lifetimes.


    One Empyrean powerhouse appearing after another, each stronger than the last.


    Furthermore, these two Empyreans looked like they were here for Ye Yuan too.


    Just as everyone was in a state of disbelief, Jian Hongxiao and Duan Yi two people each stepped forward and bowed in salute.


    ��I pay respects to Lord Sutao!��


    ��I pay respects to Lord Flutterfeather!��


    The arrivals were none other than precisely Jian Sutao and Empyrean Flutterfeather!


    The expression on Cang Yuan��s face changed again and again. He was virtually about to suffocate.


    Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital��s city lord and Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s city lord actually came together!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status was extremely high among Empyreans.


    One had to know, he was an extremely seldom-seen Seven-star Alchemy God, a grand completion Dao Realm super powerhouse.


    Which Empyrean dared to not give him face?


    Even Heavenly Emperor powerhouses also had to give him some face!


    As for Jian Sutao, that went even more without saying.


    His identity was much more exalted than Jian Hongxiao��s!


    As the lord of a city, what Jian Sutao represented was the Jian Family��s face.


    Furthermore, these two people were both Seventh Firmament Empyrean super powerhouses!


    The two great Empyreans were both major figures who inspired awe all around.


    Empyrean Cang Yuan was not worth mentioning at all in front of them!


    Seeing this line-up, even Chaoyuan and the few Empyreans also went forward to bow in salute, expressing respect.


    Regarding these two people��s appearance, Ye Yuan was also greatly surprised.


    But thinking about it, it was naturally impossible that they came to make things difficult for him. Hence, he stepped forward and said with a bow, ��Ye Yuan pays respect to Senior Sutao, Senior Flutterfeather.��


    Jian Sutao nodded slightly and said, ��You brat, you really can cause trouble! This Empyrean even heard about your valiant record far in Extreme Luck!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help chuckling and paid no attention to it.


    Rather, it was Empyrean Flutterfeather who suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Ye Yuan, this Empyrean came to find you because I have something to ask of you.��

 Chapter 2014 - Cloudpill Summit

    The moment these words came out, everyone was extremely surprised.


    What business did the exalted Empyrean Flutterfeather, a late-stage Empyrean great expert and a peak Seven-star Alchemy God, have to request a measly little True God Realm?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Senior Flutterfeather, please say it.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather opened his mouth and said, ��Three years later, the Southern Border��s seven great peak Empyrean level alchemy holy lands will jointly organize an alchemy summit. At that time, there will be countless alchemy geniuses that gather in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital. I wonder if you��re interested?��


    Ye Yuan still had not expressed anything yet, but then Cang Yuan said in surprise, ��Cloudpill Summit! You �� You��re here to invite Ye Yuan to take part in the Cloudpill Summit?��


    The Heavenspan World was centered around the Heavenspan Mountain, dividing into east, south, west, north, and central, five borders.


    The place where Heavenly Eagle was at was the Southern Border.


    The Southern Border��s territory was extremely vast, but those able to proclaim to be top alchemy holy lands were not many.


    The Southern Border had a total of seven alchemy great imperial capitals that had long enjoyed a good reputation and were known as peak alchemy holy lands.


    And among them, it was Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s reputation that was at the height of power and splendor.


    The alchemy summit initiated by Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital happened once every 5000 years. It was a cardinal matter of the Southern Border��s alchemy world.


    Its name was the Cloudpill Summit!


    Alchemists able to take part in the Cloudpill Summit were all alchemy geniuses.


    What shocked Cang Yuan was, what kind of identity did Empyrean Flutterfeather have? To actually personally come to invite Ye Yuan to participate in the Cloudpill Summit?


    One had to know, Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital was one of the seven great peak alchemy holy lands.


    As an alchemy holy land��s master, how venerated was Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status?


    But now, he actually personally ran to Heavenly Eagle in order to invite a puny little True God Realm. How could this not surprise him?


    Who knew that Empyrean Flutterfeather shook his head slightly and said, ��It��s going to participate in the Cloudpill Summit, but it��s not like what you think. With Ye Yuan��s strength, him going to take part in the Cloudpill Summit, that would be bullying people.��


    Cang Yuan��s gaze turned intent and he muttered, ��B-Bullying people?��


    He was somewhat unable to understand why a mere Third Firmament True God would be bullying people?


    In the Cloudpill Summit, alchemy geniuses of this level should have a lot.


    Ye Yuan poisoning several thousand True God powerhouses to death this time was seriously too glaring.


    Hence, in Cang Yuan��s impression, Ye Yuan was merely a very impressive poison master.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze twinkled, clearly somewhat stirred, and asked, ��Is this Cloudpill Summit very impressive?��


    The moment this question came out, the whole place was silent. Everyone used disbelieving gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��Little Friend Ye Yuan, you actually don��t even know about the Cloudpill Summit?�� Empyrean Chaoyuan said in surprise.


    ��Is the Cloudpill Summit very famous?�� Ye Yuan said with a puzzled look.


    Ye Yuan really did not know about this Cloudpill Summit. Dustless never told him before as well.


    He also asked Dustless just now, clearly, he did not know either.


    It seemed like this Cloudpill Summit should only have appeared after Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove died.


    Empyrean Cang Yuan said with a cold smile, ��Never even heard of the Cloudpill Summit, but you also dare to call yourself an alchemist?��


    Even Lu Yan three people also had doubtful looks.


    They had some doubts now that these three great Empyreans�� appearance was not Ye Yuan��s work at all.


    Ye Yuan said with a look of amusement, ��Does knowing about the Cloudpill Summit count as being an alchemist?��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan and the rest all thought that Ye Yuan had an extremely profound background. Hence, that was why he could possess such terrifying strength at this age.


    But now, they were somewhat uncertain.


    In this land of the Southern Border, as long as one had some background, they should know about the Cloudpill Summit.


    Let alone that Ye Yuan was even such a formidable alchemist.


    If Ye Yuan was really just a genius who grew up at the bottom, then �� how monstrous was this guy!


    Empyrean Chaoyuan said, ��Little Ye Yuan isn��t aware, but this Cloudpill Summit has a resounding reputation in our land of Southern Border. It��s the alchemy summit that all alchemists look forward to. As long as one is an alchemist, they will take pride in going to the Cloudpill Summit once. There are even some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda��s alchemy geniuses that will also come forth and take part ����


    Empyrean Chaoyuan briefly recounted the origin of the Cloudpill Summit. Ye Yuan was also greatly interested after he heard.


    Gathering the entire Southern Border��s alchemy geniuses, that was naturally an extremely grand meet.


    Especially that there were also quite a few Dao Realm alchemists like Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    Exchanging with alchemists like this was naturally what Ye Yuan wished in his heart.


    Ancestor Realm was vague and ephemeral. Ye Yuan understood that constantly coping himself up in the room to work without reference was also not a good idea.


    If he had a few more exchanges with people like Empyrean Flutterfeather, he might be able to break through the shackles.


    ��So that��s how it is, then I naturally have to go and experience it.�� Ye Yuan nodded and said.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��This Empyrean knew that you would be interested. But if you go to the Cloudpill Summit, you naturally don��t have to fight with those so-called geniuses. Us seven great alchemy holy lands each have two grandmaster tokens. One is naturally this Empyrean��s. As for the other piece, this Empyrean thought it through, it��s still you who��s most apt.��


    As he said, Empyrean Flutterfeather waved a hand. A pale-yellow light flew towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and took it. An archaic copper-colored token appeared in his hand.


    The whole audience was petrified!


    The group of Empyrean powerhouses was shocked to the extreme in their hearts.


    Grandmaster token!


    That was a grandmaster token!


    The Cloudpill Summit��s grandmaster token, that represented the strongest Alchemy Dao existences under Heavenly Emperor. How venerate was the status?


    Now, Empyrean Flutterfeather actually handed it to Ye Yuan so casually!


    What capability did this kid have?


    Even Empyrean Chaoyuan the few of them were also shocked speechless at this time.


    The few of them had heard of Ye Yuan��s monstrousness from the mouths of Song Yu and the rest.


    But that was hearsay after all.


    They came here primarily because of Song Yu and the others�� emperor surmounting aura.


    As for the others, they were still half-dubious in the end.


    But now, one grandmaster token was already sufficient to explain everything.


    With Empyrean Flutterfeather��s identity and status, how could he possibly hand such a valuable token to Ye Yuan for no reason?


    The shock in Empyrean Cang Yuan��s heart was unable to use words to describe at all.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather gave Ye Yuan a grandmaster token. What did this represent?


    This represented that Empyrean Flutterfeather acknowledged that Ye Yuan��s status could already be on an equal footing with him!


    This �� was too terrifying!


    How venerated was Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status? Even in front of Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether, Empyrean Flutterfeather could also speak on equal footing.


    Even though Empyrean Flutterfeather was just an Empyrean powerhouse, his position in the Southern Border��s alchemy world was irreplaceable.


    Legends said that Empyrean Flutterfeather even had a likelihood of stepping into Ancestor Realm.


    Then his status would go up a level!


    So what if Heavenly Emperor?


    Heavenly Emperors needed medicinal pills too!


    He did not need rank seven divine pills, but did his subordinates not require them?


    Without medicinal pills, what would they use to win over Empyrean powerhouses?


    Hence, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status was extremely high in the Southern Border and did not even lose to Heavenly Emperors.


    But such a great deity was actually conversing as peers with Ye Yuan.


    This �� This was too subverting!


    How could a Third Firmament True God possibly have such powerful capabilities?


    The crux was that he actually did not even know about the Cloudpill Summit!


    Just what kind of freak did Heavenly Eagle Imperial City produce?!

 Chapter 2015 - Overbearing Empyrean

    ��Although I don��t know what that grandmaster token is, Lord Ye Yuan seems to be very incredible.��


    ��More than incredible! That is Empyrean Flutterfeather! Empyrean Flutterfeather is actually conversing as an equal with our lord!��


    ��Hehe, I feel that before long, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will be able to become the Southern Border��s eighth great peak alchemy holy land.��


    ��


    Inside the present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, there were quite a number of Four-star and Five-star Alchemy Gods. They naturally would not be foreign to Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    When Empyrean Flutterfeather appeared, each and every one of them was incredibly shocked.


    But later on, something that surprised them even more happened.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was actually conversing with Ye Yuan as an equal. What kind of honor was this?


    One had to know, even for ordinary Empyrean powerhouses, Empyrean Flutterfeather was also not someone they could simply meet and talk with.


    Today��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City thoroughly exploded.


    This kind of sense of honor was considered to have been completely rooted in their blood.


    Ye Yuan sized the grandmaster token up, but spread his two hands out and said, ��Senior Flutterfeather, I really want to go, but you take a look �� With this current situation, I can��t go no matter what.��


    Everyone��s gaze collectively focused on Cang Yang. His expression instantly became very ugly.


    At this time, Jian Sutao who had been silent all along suddenly waved his hand at Cang Yuan and said, ��It��s none of your business here anymore. You can go back.��


    Cang Yuan��s expression changed and he said, ��Empyrean Sutao, although your status is venerated, don��t forget that this place is Lord Extreme Nether��s territory! You��re bullying people too far being like this!��


    As a middle-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouse, Cang Yuan had always been high and mighty.


    But today, he felt an unprecedented humiliation.


    In the sky above a puny little imperial city!


    This place was clearly Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether��s territory, but he was actually being commanded as others pleased.


    It was just that Jian Sutao was not so easygoing.


    He snorted coldly and suddenly flicked his sleeves grandly. A tremendous force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas crushed over toward Cang Yuan.


    Cang Yuan��s face changed, immediately mustering up a move to meet the enemy.


    But upon contact with this tremendous force, Cang Yuan��s world domain and martial technique instantly fell apart.


    Bang!


    Cang Yuan��s figure flew out backward. His chest was already stained full of fresh blood.


    ��Humph! Who the hell do you think you are? To dare speak to this Empyrean this way? Forget about you, even Brother Extreme Nether will also have to give this Empyrean some face. If not for being in Brother Extreme Nether��s territory, do you think that you can still stand here alive?�� Jian Sutao said with a cold snort.


    Lu Yan, Deng Yunzai, and Dai Chunhao, these three people, did not even dare to breathe loudly at this time.


    Late-stage Empyrean Realm was seriously too strong!


    Even Cang Yuan could not block a casual strike of Jian Sutao��s too.


    If they went forward, he would blow them to death with one puff.


    Cang Yuan had a deathly white face, clearly already sustained heavy injuries.


    Jian Sutao said coolly, ��Concerning Brother Extreme Nether, this Empyrean and Flutterfeather have already gone over. This Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will be Ye Yuan��s territory in the future. If someone comes here and the person acts wildly, that means the person is becoming enemies with this Empyrean. They will have to weigh themselves over! Now, you guys can get lost!��


    The faces of Cang Yuan and the rest changed, not expecting that Jian Sutao and Empyrean Flutterfeather actually went to find Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether for a measly little Ye Yuan!


    Was this kid really that incredible?


    At this very moment, continuing to stay would also be asking for trouble.


    Cang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, ��Let��s go!��


    Finished talking, the void rippled. Cang Yuan��s figure disappeared.


    How could Lu Yan three people still dare to remain there? They immediately escaped into the void running away.


    The moment these few people left, thunderous cheers erupted in the city.


    Today��s fight was fought too satisfyingly!


    Those proud sovereigns of great imperial capitals and bodhidharmas also could not do anything to them.


    Furthermore, after today, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would be an independent kingdom in reality as well as in name.


    With a ruler that loved his people like Ye Yuan, how could they not cheer?


    Seeing the performance of the martial artists in the city, even Jian Sutao and Empyrean Flutterfeather, these super powerhouses, were also all incomparably shocked.


    They did not think that Ye Yuan��s prestige in this imperial city was actually so high.


    The cheers of those martial artists that came from the bottom of their hearts could not be faked.


    They genuinely supported Ye Yuan and were not being perfunctory.


    This kind of situation was virtually very hard to see in other cities.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists to the group of Empyreans and said, ��Seniors coming to help from a long way away, this Ye is endlessly grateful. In the future, if there��s any issue where you have a need for this Ye, feel free to speak up. This Ye absolutely won��t refuse.��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan chuckled and said, ��Little Friend Ye Yuan is too courteous! This Empyrean heard Song Yu mention that you defended them to the death inside the Ancient God Battlefield. Otherwise, they would have long perished, their Dao dissipating. More importantly, that kid actually broke through to the emperor surmounting aura. Just based on this, this Empyrean will also have to make this trip!


    ��Isn��t that so? Guo Jingyang this brat, I thought that it would already be pretty good if he could rise to peak imperial aura. Who knew that this kid directly broke through to the emperor surmounting aura, hahaha!�� Empyrean Fivepeaks laughed loudly and said.


    Although the few Empyreans said it like that, they were already long overjoyed in their hearts.


    Being able to build good relations with such a monstrous alchemy master by coming out this time, it was also considered worth it.


    Although they were all Empyrean powerhouses, they were the same as Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, they also needed rank six divine pills!


    More importantly, with Ye Yuan��s terrifying talent and him conversing as equals with Empyrean Flutterfeather, how horrifying was his alchemy strength?


    In the future, as long as he broke through to the Empyrean Realm, wouldn��t he be a proper Seven-star Alchemy God?


    Such an existence, being able to build good relations was naturally all that they could wish for.


    Otherwise, how could those Heavenly Emperor powerhouses give Empyrean Flutterfeather face?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Seniors are too polite. At the Ancient God Battlefield, that sort of place, we should help each other. If seniors don��t dislike Heavenly Eagle, why not have a sit in the City Lord Manor and drink a cup of coarse alcohol before leaving.��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan smiled and said, ��Although the city is small, it accommodates you, this great buddha! Gentlemen, go over and have a sit?��


    Empyrean Skyhowl laughed and said, ��Of course, of course! Master Ye Yuan��s wine naturally isn��t an ordinary product, how can this Empyrean miss it?��


    Seeing their lord address these Empyrean powerhouses as brothers, the martial artists in the city felt even more proud of themselves.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said to Bai Tong, ��Brother Bai, I��ll have to trouble you to bring the seniors to the City Lord Manor and let them sample the Dreamlike Wine that I stashed away.��


    Bai Tong nodded slightly and said to the few people, ��Gentlemen, please follow me.��


    After the few people left, there was only Ye Yuan, Jian Sutao, and Empyrean Flutterfeather left outside of the city.


    Jian Sutao looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��This time, it��s considered to have repaid your favor, right?��


    Regarding Jian Sutao��s appearance, Ye Yuan was also very surprised.


    He even thought that Jian Sutao had very deep resentment toward him. He did not expect that he actually personally came forward this time to look for Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether.


    In the future, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would be considered to no longer have future troubles.


    ��Huhu, what��s Senior saying? The favor this time, Ye Yuan has received it,�� Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.


    He, Ye Yuan, had always made clear distinctions between gratitude and resentment. The matter last time was indeed Jian Sutao who went too far.


    But in the end, he was Jian Hongxiao��s father-in-law. Ye Yuan naturally would not haggle over it too much.


    Taking action this time, Jian Sutao was indeed a great help.


    This favor, Ye Yuan naturally had to receive it.

 Chapter 2016 - Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital

    However, by the side, Empyrean Flutterfeather was slightly afraid in his heart.


    He completely did not think that going to Heavenly Emperor Extreme Nether there this time, he actually ran into Jian Sutao.


    In the Southern Border, Jian Sutao��s position was only higher and not lower than his.


    One had to know, behind Jian Sutao was the Jian Family, this colossal giant.


    Although Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was powerful, compared to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, the difference was too great.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had such deep ties with the Jian Family.


    Furthermore, looking at Jian Sutao and Ye Yuan conversing, the resentment was actually quite deep; an appearance of you��re displeasing to my eyes, but I also can��t do anything to you.


    This �� was very weird!


    Jian Sutao suddenly beamed and said to Ye Yuan, ��Heh, kid, remember the words today. This is what you said, you owe me a favor.��


    The moment these words came out, Ye Yuan��s and Empyrean Flutterfeather��s faces both turned black.


    Was this guy �� really the Empyrean Sutao that struck people with awe?


    This appearance was completely the appearance of a despicable villain!


    But Ye Yuan also long had an understanding of Jian Sutao��s character. After being stunned, he nodded and said, ��That��s for sure! This Ye never reneges on my word.��


    Jian Sutao nodded and said, ��This matter is settled; this Empyrean is leaving.��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Senior, take care.��


    Jian Sutao flashed a slight nod at Empyrean Flutterfeather to make an indication, then stepped out and concealed into the void.


    ��Senior Flutterfeather, today��s matter, thank you very much. Ye Yuan remembers it firmly in my heart.��


    Ye Yuan naturally knew how exalted Jian Sutao and Flutterfeather��s statuses were. For them to be able to take action and help, this due to their status. He naturally had to thank both of them.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather waved his hand and said smilingly, ��What��s there to be courteous between you and me? If not for you, it will likely still need God knows how many years for this Empyrean to want to reach this realm that everyone is envious of. Moreover, this Empyrean knows that you have earned God knows how much divine essence stones for the Myriad Treasure Tower these few years. This favor, this Empyrean naturally has to receive it.��


    Disregarding other things, just the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill earned boatloads of divine essence stones for the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Furthermore, after Ye Yuan broke through to the Origin Pill Realm, he even developed the rank six Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill. This pill formula was also handed over to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Of course, these were all nothing.


    To powerhouses at the level of Empyrean Flutterfeather, divine essence stones were already mere worldly possessions.


    The most important was realm!


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up and he said in surprise, ��Could it be that Senior Flutterfeather already ����


    Flutterfeather laughed heartily and said, ��That��s right! For so many years, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s Empyrean Pilljade has always suppressed this Empyrean. The Cloudpill Summit this time, this Empyrean can finally lift my head up high!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Congratulations, Senior Flutterfeather!��


    Ancestor Realm!


    This was the realm that all alchemists yearned for even in their dreams!


    But this door blocked countless alchemy geniuses outside of it.


    Even for Ye Yuan, he benefited a great deal from the alchemy battle with Empyrean Flutterfeather. But wanting to break through to the Ancestor Realm was also not something overnight. It could be seen how difficult this hurdle was.


    For Empyrean Flutterfeather to be able to break through this shackle, he would be a true Alchemy Dao leviathan in the future.


    Furthermore, after reaching Ancestor Realm, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s realm would no longer be an obstruction.


    Breaking through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor was also just a matter of time.


    Flutterfeather laughed loudly and said, ��Eh, don��t keep on calling me as a senior. Although you��re just at the True God Realm, your alchemy strength isn��t weaker than this Empyrean��s. In the future, you��re bound to step into becoming an Alchemy God. In the future, you can just call me Brother Flutterfeather!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and called, ��Brother Flutterfeather!��


    Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��Younger Brother Ye Yuan, this Cloudpill Summit is indeed a grand event of the Southern Border. Each time it��s organized, not only do exceptional talents come forth in large numbers, but all kinds of rare spirit medicines and pill formulas also emerge in endless streams. After you settle the matters here, you can go over and experience it first hand. You won��t be disappointed.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��With Brother Flutterfeather saying so, Ye Yuan somewhat can��t wait for it. Fine as well; after this matter is settled, I��ll go over.��


    Flutterfeather nodded and said, ��This Empyrean just exited seclusion, so there are still many matters to take care of. When the time comes, we��ll rendezvous at Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Brother Flutterfeather, take care.��


    ��


    The four great Empyreans agreeing to have gathered in the city was originally just doing it for the occasion and giving Ye Yuan some face.


    But who knew that their stay lasted a month��s time, not willing to leave even if they were driven out.


    The Dreamlike Wine that Ye Yuan brewed made the few great Empyreans enjoy so much that they forgot to go home, abandoning themselves to pleasure.


    This wine was brewed with a special technique after Ye Yuan broke through to the Origin Pill Realm. It was specifically used to entertain distinguished guests.


    Although it was refined with some rank six spirit medicines, the flavor of this wine was incomparably sweet and mellow, bringing back endless aftertastes.


    Even if the few great Empyreans had vast experiences, they were also brought into submission by Ye Yuan��s wine.


    Only then did they know why even Flutterfeather was so polite toward Ye Yuan.


    After a month, the four great Empyreans were seriously embarrassed to stay on any longer. Hence, each person brought along ten vats of fine wine and left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City with reluctance.


    After a month��s time, Ye Yuan also pretty much settled Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Hence, he brought along Ning Siyu and stepped onto the road to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    The present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s situation was already totally different from back then.


    Xuan Yu and the rest of the older generation alchemy powerhouses had long withdrawn from the core of authority at present.


    Although there were Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills helping, their potential had long been exhausted, their improvement was naturally also very limited.


    On the contrary, it was the young generation whose strength advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Right now, Ning Siyu��s alchemy strength had long already surpassed Xuan Yu and her few senior apprentice brothers, becoming a distinguished talent of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s Pill Tower.


    The current Ning Siyu was already at the middle-stage Celestial Deity Realm. Her alchemy strength had also already touched the threshold of Dao Realm.


    Among the young generation, she had no equal.


    Walking along this road, Ye Yuan��s influence on her was immense.


    Back then, she had always followed along by Ye Yuan��s side and watched Ye Yuan refine pills. Later, she also obtained Ye Yuan��s personal guidance.


    The present Ning Siyu was long already not the Ning Siyu back then.


    However, when she heard that Ye Yuan was bringing her to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, she was still happy like a little girl, dancing for joy.


    ��My God, this is Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital? Why do I feel that as long as the person is from here, they will know how to refine pills?�� Ning Siyu said with curiosity written all over her face.


    Ever since entering the city, Ning Siyu could feel that the air suffused with medicinal fragrance.


    By the street sides, alchemy battle arenas were seen everywhere. Furthermore, each match had a full house.


    Clearly, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s alchemy atmosphere was already integrated into the lives of ordinary alchemists.


    Ye Yuan also nodded and said, ��Indeed, the standards of the alchemists here are much higher than at other places. It��s worthy of being the Southern Border��s number one alchemy holy land.��


    Ning Siyu pursed her lips and said, ��What��s the use even if it��s more impressive? In front of Your Excellency, everything is in vain! Your Excellency is the number one alchemy genius!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. This lass was already idolizing him blindly now.


    Suddenly, a voice sounded out. The person said, ��Ooh! What high-sounding sentiments! Such a snotty brat also dares proclaim to be the number one alchemy genius?��


    Clearly, Ning Siyu��s words were heard by others, incurring a wave of displeasure.

 Chapter 2017 - I’m Afraid of Scaring You

    In front of him was a handsome young man. He was merely an Eighth Firmament Celestial Deity.


    Beside him even followed a young lady. The two people��s ages were similar. They were a rather matching pair.


    But behind the two people followed two True God Realm guards. Their background was clearly not ordinary.


    That young lady said with a disdainful look, ��Really shameless, I��ve never seen someone who dares proclaim to be the number one alchemy genius! My Big Brother Qian is the Zheng Family��s number one junior. Yet, he also doesn��t dare claim to be the number one alchemy genius. Who the hell do you think you are?��


    Ye Yuan was speechless when he heard that. When did he say that he was the number one alchemy genius?


    These words were clearly said by Ning Siyu, alright?


    But this lass really knew how to draw aggro for him!


    The moment Ning Siyu heard this, she blew up.


    ��What the hell is the Zheng Family? Zheng Family��s junior generation? Huhu! Forget about your Zheng Family��s young generation, even if the Zheng Family��s elder generation comes, my family��s lord will crush all the same!��


    Zheng Qian was young, so how could he endure it when he heard this? He immediately smiled coldly and said, ��What high-sounding sentiments! In this Southern Border, there really aren��t more than a few who dares to talk about my Changlin Zheng Family in this manner!��


    His words immediately caused a series of exclamations.


    ��It turns out that it��s the Changlin Zheng Family. That��s an ancient alchemy family second only to peak holy lands!��


    ��The Zheng Family��s number one person of the young generation, Zheng Qian, he��ll definitely radiate splendor in the Cloudpill Summit this time!��


    ��Zheng Qiang! I heard of him before! He��s merely a thousand over years old and he already reached middle-stage Initial Realm. He has potential of stepping into the Dao Realm in the future!��


    ��


    Hearing the surrounding people��s discussion, Zheng Qian had a proud look.


    The Changlin Great Imperial Capital��s Zheng Family��s strength in the Southern Border��s alchemy world was an existence second only to these seven great holy lands.


    The Zheng Family��s ancestor was also a rarely-seen Seven-star Alchemy God. Their status could be seen at a glance.


    With Zheng Qian stepping into middle-stage Initial Realm at a young age, it was also something to be proud of.


    One should not look at how Ye Yuan entered the Initial Realm, broke through to the Dao Realm along the way, and now, even closed in on the Ancestor Realm. Initial Realm was something that one could come across by luck, but not by searching for it to ordinary alchemists.


    Reaching the Initial Realm was a very long process, requiring incalculable time to accumulate.


    Recalling things back then, Xuan Yu lived to a ripe old age and was also merely at the middle-stage Initial Realm.


    Zheng Qian was merely a thousand years old and he was already at the middle-stage Initial Realm. It was naturally worth being proud of.


    ��Hear that, number one alchemy genius? If you have the guts, let��s have a match!�� Zheng Qian suddenly ignored Ning Siyu and provoked Ye Yuan.


    Everyone used gloating expressions to look at Ye Yuan, feeling that he would not dare to accept the challenge at all.


    Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was higher than Zheng Qian, their ages were more or less the same.


    In everyone��s view, Ye Yuan put more energy into martial arts.


    As for alchemy, this was painstaking work. So how could it be that easy?


    Therefore, if Ye Yuan competed with Zheng Qian, he would surely lose without a doubt.


    After all, encountering this kind of alchemy genius, there was only the outcome of being crushed.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Competing with me? You��re not qualified enough yet. Siyu, let��s go.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan turned around and was about to leave.


    Forget about Zheng Qian, a puny little Celestial Deity Realm, even the opponent was a peak Six-star Alchemy God, Ye Yuan could also crush the person without any trouble.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan fought on alchemy with Empyrean Flutterfeather until it ended in a tie.


    A measly little Zheng Qi, he seriously could not get interested.


    But Zheng Qian sneered and said, ��What do you mean not qualified enough? Don��t dare means don��t dare! Zhao He, Li Hu!��


    The figures of those two True God Realms moved, blocking the two people��s path.


    ��If you don��t dare to compete, then kneel in front of this young master and admit your fault! My Zheng Family isn��t what just anyone can humiliate!�� Zheng Qian said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan shot a glare at Ning Siyu. The latter stuck her tongue out mischievously and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��If you really want to compete, get your family��s ancestor over. As for you, better forget it, I��m afraid of scaring you,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment Zheng Qian heard, he smiled coldly even more.


    ��What a conceited brat! Forget it, since you don��t dare to accept the challenge, then kneel down and acknowledge your fault!�� Zheng Qian shouted coldly.


    As he said, Zhao He and Li Hu two people grabbed Ye Yuan, and they were actually going to forcefully make Ye Yuan kneel.


    These two people were both Third Firmament True God powerhouses and also considered powerhouses of a region.


    But unfortunately, they ran into Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s figure did not move and the two people actually grabbed an illusory figure.


    It was just that these two people did not have time to be surprised yet when Ye Yuan already swiftly pointed out with a backhand.


    ��Pffft, pffft!��


    It was only to hear two muffled groans. Zhao He and Li Hu fell to the ground at the sound of that and could not crawl to their feet anymore.


    When Zheng Qian saw this scene, his eyes became wide-saucers.


    Zhao He and Li Hu two people were both experienced veterans of a hundred battles. It was rare to meet a match in the same rank. But in front of Ye Yuan, they actually could not even receive a single move?


    The surrounding people were likewise extremely surprised.


    Disregarding how Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength was, his martial arts was also a little too strong, right?


    ��You �� What do you want to do? I �� I��m a member of the Zheng Family. If you dare to touch me, you��ll absolutely die without a burial ground!�� Seeing Ye Yuan walk over toward him, Zheng Qian hurriedly took several steps back. He was saying threatening things but was inwardly shaking.


    ��Oh? Is that so?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Qian with a look of amusement. Suddenly, he flicked his finger. A cluster of fire suddenly flew towards the other party.


    Zheng Qian was first stunned, then immediately laughed coldly and said, ��Playing with fire with me? Overestimating your own ability too much! I��ll let you witness this young master��s fire controlling art!��


    It was only to see the seals in his hand change irregularly, and he suddenly shouted loudly, ��Freeze for me!��


    That cluster of fire indeed paused, and it actually froze three feet in front of Zheng Qian.


    ��What formidable fire controlling technique! Indeed well-deserving of being the Zheng Family��s number one genius!��


    ��Impressive, impressive! Although that kid��s Martial Dao is strong, playing with fire is showing off in the presence of an expert.��


    ��Heh, a single mistake and he��ll have to suffer silent loss himself!��


    ��


    A series of exclamations came from all around. Clearly, they were all astounded by Zheng Qian��s fire controlling art.


    Zheng Qian laughed loudly and said, ��Do you want to use fire controlling technique to tell me that your Alchemy Dao is very strong? Then this young master has no choice but to tell you that you��re too weak! Watch out, return for me!��


    Zheng Qi kneaded another seal and fired it over toward that cluster of fire.


    Whoosh!


    The flame suddenly disappeared!


    Zheng Qian��s gaze turned intent, currently wondering what happened when suddenly, the girl next to him cried out in surprise.


    ��Your head! Big Brother Qian, your head!��


    ��My head? What��s wrong with my head?��


    Zheng Qian felt baffled and reached his hand out toward his head to touch.


    With this touch, he could not help jumping with fright.


    His head was extremely smooth like it was smeared with oil.


    His head full of hair was actually all gone!


    At this moment, the top of Zheng Qian��s head was brilliant enough to reflect one��s image, shimmering with light, like a lamp.


    ��Pfft!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    A wave of guffaws came from all around. Zheng Qian��s face was red with a tint of black, wishing to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    He immediately revolved divine essence, wanting to grow hair. But it was completely useless.


    He discovered that the pores on top of his head seemed to all be sealed, unable to grow hair at all.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    He looked toward Ye Yuan with immense shock but saw that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a look of amusement. Ye Yuan said with a smile, ��This time, just take it as a small punishment. If there��s still a next time, you won��t get off so easily!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought along Ning Siyu, turned around, and left.

 Chapter 2018 - Does This Work?

    ��Such an exquisite fire controlling technique! Burned a head full of hair but the person is completely fine.��


    ��That young man is really capable! I even thought that he was bragging!��


    ��Looks like tigers are crouching and dragons are hidden in the Cloudpill Summit this time!��


    ��


    After the loud laughter, everyone finally came to realize the truth about the prowess of Ye Yuan��s fire controlling technique.


    Even the bald Zheng Qian also felt lingering fear.


    His experience was more vivid than others. The fire burned on top of his head, not leaving him a single strand. It was as if it was shaved using a razor blade.


    But he did not feel any heat at all.


    This fire controlling technique was simply inconceivable.


    Most likely, even Big Brother Qun also could not do it to this extent either, right?


    Zheng Qian thought in his heart.


    Looking at the direction Ye Yuan left, Zheng Qian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Damn fellow, don��t let me run into him again! To dare humiliate my Zheng Family, this young master will definitely teach you a lesson!��


    ��


    ��Your Excellency, you were really too cool just now! Hehe, that snotty brat actually still wanted to challenge you, really overestimating his own ability,�� Ning Siyu said with an excited face.


    Ye Yuan shot her a fierce glare and said crossly, ��You still have the cheek to say? What number one alchemy genius? You��re also not scared of spraining your tongue! Talented people remain in concealment in this Heavenspan World, so who dares to claim to be number one?��


    Ye Yuan was very confident, but he was never arrogant.


    This Heavenspan World was too big; geniuses were also akin to schools of carps crossing the river.


    This title of number one was too big!


    Even reaching Medicine Ancestor that kind of realm, didn��t he also encounter an opponent like the High Priest?


    If he was not apprehensive of the High Priest, why would he say ��Ask Not�� two words?


    Ning Siyu stayed for a long time with Ye Yuan and knew his temper. She giggled and said, ��I don��t care. Either way, you are the number one alchemy genius in my heart! Moreover, among the young generation, who can reach your boundary? Even in the entire Heavenspan World, it also can��t be found, right?��


    Ye Yuan was rendered speechless and waved his hand, feeling lazy to talk anymore.


    Bringing Ning Siyu and strolling one round in the outer-city and having purchased some rare spirit medicines, the two planned on heading for the inner-city.


    The passageway leading to the inner-city, there was currently a group of soldiers guarding it. Each person had to go through stringent screening.


    The two were just about to go over but saw a group of people currently coming over from another direction.


    One of them was extremely eye-catching. Who was it if not the bald Zheng Qian?


    When Ning Siyu saw Zheng Qian, she could not refrain from laughing out loud with a snigger again.


    His Excellency was also such a troll. He burned Zheng Qian��s hair and even did not let him grow it out.


    A fine handsome youth became a little bald donkey. How to let him go and find a girl in the future?


    Zheng Qian also just happened to look over. Noticing Ye Yuan, he immediately yelled out.


    ��Big Brother Buqun, it��s this fellow who claims to be the number one alchemy genius! You have to take revenge for me!��


    Beside Zheng Qian, a slightly older youth was sizing Ye Yuan up with an unfriendly expression.


    He slowly walked toward Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��A brat whose hair isn��t even fully grown also dares to claim to be the number one alchemy genius? It was you who burned Young Brother Qian��s hair?��


    ��Haha, this punk probably came from some countryside and has never seen much of the world. Think that having a bit of ability, he can be number one under the heavens. In this Cloudpill Summit, even Brother Zheng doesn��t dare claim to be the number one genius. This little brat actually dares proclaim to be the number one genius.��


    Another young man stepped forward and looked at Ye Yuan with a contemptuous look.


    Zheng Qian also stepped forward and looked at Ye Yuan as he said with a cold smile, ��Big Brother Buqun, this brat is ridiculously arrogant and even said want to compete with him, invite our Zheng Family��s ancestor out.��


    When the others heard, they all revealed amused smiles.


    This brat did not even know how to come up with a draft before boasting!


    The young man beside Zheng Buqun said with a disdainful look, ��Haha, kid, do you know what kind of person the Zheng Family��s ancestor is? That��s a Seven-star Alchemy God, Dao Realm expert. Just the likes of you, this snotty brat, dares to challenge the Zheng Family��s ancestor?��


    These few people each threw a sentence in, deriding Ye Yuan non-stop. Ning Siyu was indignant.


    She said with a scornful look, ��So what if Seven-star Alchemy God? Even Empyrean Flutterfeather addresses my lord as his brother too! Could it be that your family��s ancestor is stronger than Empyrean Flutterfeather?��


    The moment everyone heard, not only were they not intimidated, but the look of ridicule on their faces also grew thicker.


    That young man said with a big laugh, ��Empyrean Flutterfeather? Huhu, little girl, Empyrean Flutterfeather is one of the Cloudpill Summit��s grandmasters. How exalted is his position? This kid addresses him as his brother? Stop joking around with me, alright?��


    Zheng Buqun shook his head and laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, ��Turns out that it��s two braggarts who don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth. I was wondering which genius. This kind of ignorant fool, there will always be some in each Cloudpill Summit.��


    ��Hahaha!��


    The two people��s discussion aroused a series of mocking voices from all around.


    What kind of identity did Empyrean Flutterfeather have? That was an important character that was on par with Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s Empyrean Pilljade.


    Beneath Heavenly Emperor, they were practically the pinnacle-most existences.


    This kind of powerhouse would address a True God Realm junior as a brother?


    You have got to be kidding!


    Ye Yuan raised his brows slightly and said coolly, ��Done talking? If you��re done, get lost for me.��


    Zheng Buqun��s brows raised up and he said, ��You want to enter the inner-city? Kid, do you have the Cloudpill invitation?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Cloudpill invitation? What��s that?��


    The young man who was surnamed Duan could not help laughing as he said, ��You don��t even know what��s the Cloudpill invitation and you dare to come and take part in the Cloudpill Summit? I��m telling you, only alchemists holding the Cloudpill invitation have the qualifications to enter the inner-city. As for you, go back where you came from.��


    The bald Zheng Qian laughed loudly and said, ��I was wondering what expert and where you were from. Messing around for half a day, you don��t even have the Cloudpill invitation!��


    At this very moment, Zheng Qian was even more certain that Ye Yuan was some martial arts ancient family��s descendant. Although his Martial Dao strength was very strong, he was completely clueless about Alchemy Dao.


    As for fire control, martial artists adept in fire-attribute cultivation methods would likewise be very formidable in controlling fire.


    He admitted that Ye Yuan was a martial arts genius. But this place was an alchemy summit. What did it have to do with martial artists?


    Geniuses alchemists able to come to the Cloudpill Summit would not care about martial artists at all.


    Because the statuses of these alchemists were much higher than ordinary martial artists.


    Zheng Buqun waved his hand and said, ��Hurry up and get lost, kid. Stop making a spectacle of yourself here. Do you see their eyes? You��re currently just like a clown jumping around. This place is the world of alchemists, it��s �� fateless with you!��


    The young man surnamed Duan turned his head and said to a soldier, ��Commander Gan, looks like this kid��s skin is very thick, I��ll have to trouble you to send him off!��


    That Commander Gan was amused from watching for a long time by the side. Hearing this, he slowly walked in front of Ye Yuan, reached his hand out, and said with a sullen face, ��Leave, please! If you don��t go, then this commander will be personally taking action and sending you out of the city!��


    This Commander Gan was a Fifth Firmament True God powerhouses. There was naturally power when he spoke.


    Ye Yuan looked at Commander Gan, slowly took out a token, and said coolly, ��I don��t have whatever Cloudpill invitation, but wonder if this thing can go in or not?��

 Chapter 2019 - : Luckily You Know

    Commander Gan did not even look at the token in Ye Yuan��s hand and just said with a cold snort, ��Whatever thing is also useless, this commander only acknowledges the Cloudpill invitation.��


    ��Haha, do you think that Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital is some random place? Casually taking out a token and you can go in? What a bumpkin!�� Zheng Qian said with a look of disdain.


    ��The Cloudpill Summit only acknowledges the invitation and won��t recognize other things. You don��t even know this bit of general knowledge and also dare to come and take part in the Cloudpill Summit?�� Zheng Buqun said with a cold smile.


    They were really brought to tears from laughing at watching the joke today.


    The current Ye Yuan was completely a bumpkin who had never seen much of the world before in front of them.


    This fellow was completely clueless about the Cloudpill Summit, but he ran in front of them, these alchemy geniuses to posture, adding a bunch of merriment.


    Seeing these few people��s reactions, Ye Yuan was also taken aback.


    He looked at the grandmaster token in his hand and felt baffled.


    It seemed like this thing was not too useful!


    He even thought that this thing looked very impressive. But taking it out, people did not recognize it at all.


    ��Kid, looks like you really want this commander to take action!��


    In Commander Gan��s eyes, Ye Yuan was merely a little child showing off; talking big to impress people.


    He released his aura and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.


    The aura of Fifth Firmament True God was suddenly released, locking right onto Ye Yuan.


    While Zheng Qian and the rest revealed gloating looks, looking at this scene calmly.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed. This Commander Gan struck rather heavily. With this grab, if his strength was inadequate, he would really be heavily injured.


    Clearly, this guy was currying favor with these few ancient families�� descendants and deliberately dealt a heavy blow.


    It was only to see him snort coldly. Suddenly, a Life and Death Seal fired out.


    A Fifth Firmament True God versus a Third Firmament True God; Commander Gan thought that he would capture him easily.


    Who knew that the moment Ye Yuan made his move, that pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas came from head-on.


    Bang!


    Commander Gan was caught off-guard and directly smacked flying by this Life and Death Seal. He seemed to be injured in an extremely wretched manner.


    Zheng Buqun��s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    The young man surnamed Duan also said with surprise, ��How can this kid��s strength be so strong?��


    They were all waiting for Ye Yuan to suffer a loss. Who knew that Ye Yuan was fine and actually crippled Commander Gan in one move.


    An initial-stage True God Realm striking a middle-stage True God Realm flying away in one move, this sort of thing was too outrageous to hear.


    Ye Yuan looked too unremarkable, a thousand over years old, how strong could he be?


    Yet, he wasted Commander Gan in one move!


    ��S-Still in a daze for what? This kid actually dared to cause trouble, c-cripple him for me!�� Commander Gan gritted his teeth and roared at the soldiers.


    At once, a large group of guards rushed forward and surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle.


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly. He also did not expect to cause such a big commotion. Who knew that these guys did not even recognize the grandmaster token.


    Actually, this could not be blamed on Commander Gan they all too. How could a grandmaster token this sort of thing be what Commander Gan would know of?


    One had to know, in the entire land of Southern Border, there was only a total of 14 grandmaster tokens.


    Those who possessed grandmaster tokens were all people with extremely revered statuses. They were at least middle and late-stage Empyrean super powerhouses too.


    The moment these people appeared in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, there would immediately be Empyrean powerhouses that came out to welcome them. They would not enter from the city gates in an ostentatious manner like this at all.


    Ye Yuan did not know the inner reason. He only wanted to stroll around more in the city, who knew that it caused such much misunderstanding.


    But at this point, Ye Yuan naturally would not hold back either.


    These guards were mostly at the Celestial Deity Realm. There was also a portion of True God Realms. But in front of Ye Yuan, it was completely lacking. He knocked down these guards with a few moves.


    Zheng Qian��s expression was ugly to the extreme as he said, ��How can this guy��s strength be so powerful?��


    Ye Yuan��s age was merely similar to his. But his combat power was no idea how many levels higher than him.


    Looking across the Southern Border, there were also not many capable of surpassing Ye Yuan in martial arts.


    But Zheng Buqun chuckled and said, ��This kid is courting death himself!


    Zheng Qian was taken back and said, ��Why?��


    Zheng Buqun smiled and said, ��Originally, he was swindling people. If he was given a beating and thrown out, the matter would be settled. But now, he caused such a big commotion. There will immediately be someone who comes out to take care of him. What��s the use even if he��s any stronger? Can he be stronger than Ninth Firmament True God powerhouses?��


    The moment Zheng Qian heard, he immediately reacted to it and said with a big laugh, ��Haha, this kid is dead for sure!��


    ��Who is it? To dare cause trouble in my Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital?��


    The voice had yet to fade when a voice closed-in from far away, arriving in an instant.


    A burly man with a curly beard appeared in front of Ye Yuan, his expression unfriendly.


    When Commander Gan saw the curly-bearded burly man, it was as if he grasped a life-saving straw, hurriedly saying, ��Lord Qin Chong, this punk doesn��t have an invitation. I chased him out of the city, not only did he not leave, he even beat me and the soldiers to serious injuries!��


    Qin Chong also had a fiery temper. Hearing Commander Gan��s words, he immediately flared up with anger.


    The moment Qin Chong heard, he said in a great rage, ��What? Impudent brat, to actually dare ����


    When Zheng Buqun and the youth surnamed Duan saw Qin Chong fly off the handle, their faces revealed an expression of gloating over others�� misfortune.


    Qin Chong was a Ninth Firmament True God mighty expert. No matter how heaven-defying Ye Yuan was, could he still deal with him?


    Qin Chong was just about to go crazy, suddenly turning his head to look at Ye Yuan, but saw Ye Yuan slowly take out a token. Ye Yuan said, ��I gave this to them to see this, but they all didn��t recognize it. I wonder if �� you recognize it?��


    Ye Yuan also asked probingly. If this Qin Chong still did not recognize it, then he could only slip away.


    Zheng Buqing scoffed when he saw the situation and said, ��Still taking this lousy token out, could it be that �� this kid is really a fool?��


    Fortunately, Qin Chong��s reaction made Ye Yuan heave a sigh in relief.


    The moment Qin Chong saw the token, his pair of eyes immediately went wide.


    He looked at the token and looked at Ye Yuan again, his eyes full of disbelief.


    ��This �� This ���� Qin Chong stammered and actually could not speak.


    How could a grandmaster token be in the hands of a young man like this?


    Commander Gan did not know the inner reason and urged, ��Lord Qin Chong, what��s wrong with you? This brat is too insolent, you mustn��t let him off easily!��


    Smash!


    A clear slap sounded out, Commander Gan was directly slapped flying out.


    This slap made everyone stunned.


    Before figuring out what was going on, they heard Qin Chong roar, ��You scoundrelly thing! Don��t drag me down if you want to die! Also, you all, are you in a rush to reincarnate? All put away your weapons for me!��


    The group of guards looked at each other, blank looks on their faces.


    Suddenly, Qin Chong knelt down with a thud and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, ��These scoundrelly things are insensible. Your Excellency, please don��t take offense! When this lowly one returns, I��ll definitely teach them a good lesson!��


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Lord Qin Chong actually knelt down to a Third Firmament True God?��


    ��Just what background does this kid have?��


    ��Could it be that �� that token is very impressive?��


    ��


    Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, completely knocked dizzy by Qin Chong��s actions.


    Ye Yuan put away the token and let out a long sigh in relief, and then he said smilingly, ��Luckily you know. Otherwise, it would really be somewhat troublesome.��

 Chapter 2020 - Yun Yi

    ��Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency. It was all because they had eyes but couldn��t see, offending Your Excellency. Your Excellency, please don��t take offense. This grandmaster token isn��t what servants like them can recognize,�� Qin Chong��s cold sweat poured profusely as he hurriedly explained.


    How exalted were the statuses of people who possessed the grandmaster token? How could they be what he could afford to provoke?


    This kind of existence could decide his life and death with one word.


    One must not look at how he was Ninth Firmament True God. Because in the eyes of Empyrean powerhouses, he was merely an ant-like existence.


    His own city lord also could not offend a big shot that possessed a grandmaster token for a mere True God Realm expert.


    Of course, the grandmaster token that appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand indeed made him very surprised. It could even be said to be hard to imagine.


    But a grandmaster token was a grandmaster token. Qin Chong did not doubt its authenticity in the slightest.


    In this land of Southern Border, who could snatch away a grandmaster token from the hands of the seven big shots?


    Ye Yuan��s bit of strength was not even enough to fill the crevices between the big shots�� teeth. It was even less likely that he snatched it.


    Moreover, this grandmaster token also could not be used after snatching it!


    Therefore, even though there were a hundred disbeliefs in his heart, Qin Chong still did not dare to be careless in the slightest.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said helplessly, ��I just wanted to enter the city, but they insisted that I was swindling people. Uh �� can I go in now?��


    Qin Chong hurriedly nodded and said, ��Of course, of course! All the grandmaster residences have already been arranged. This lowly one will lead the way for you!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed after.


    Ning Siyu was delighted in her heart when she saw the expressions of Zheng Buqun and the rest.


    ��You bunch of guys don��t even recognize the grandmaster token and you dare to flaunt your prowess here. I can only say that you��re ignorant! You all mocked my lord, but you don��t know that you were the most laughable! Your levels are too far apart!��


    Finished talking, Ning Siyu caught up with Ye Yuan, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.


    Zheng Buqun still had a look of disbelief until now as he muttered, ��That is a grandmaster token? This �� How is this possible?��


    The youth surnamed Duan had an expression like he had seen a ghost as he said, ��A Third Firmament True God grandmaster? This �� Is there a mistake?��


    ��


    The grandmaster residence was grand and magnificent, flushed with spiritual energy. It was absolutely in a favorable geographical location.


    The residence was built around a lake. In the middle was a miniature lake.


    Qin Chong carefully led Ye Yuan into the Danfeng Court and settled him down.


    Seeing Qin Chong wanting to speak but swallowing the words back, Ye Yuan said cooly, ��Just ask whatever you want to ask. Why are you, a seven-foot-tall burly man, behaving like a woman?��


    Qin Chong smiled ostentatiously and said, ��I wonder which city lord Master Ye received the invitation from?��


    Qin Chong naturally knew the seven great Empyreans. Ye Yuan was clearly not one of them. Then he could only be invited by one of the Empyreans.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This Ye was invited by Empyrean Flutterfeather.��


    Qin Chong��s gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, ��Empyrean Flutterfeather?��


    Ye Yuan said curiously, ��Why? Is there anything wrong?��


    Qin Chong hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, ��N-Nothing wrong.��


    Although he had a fiery temperament, he was also not so superficial when conducting himself. It was truly that Ye Yuan��s grandmaster token was too surprising.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Do you feel that I��m easy to hoodwink because I��m young?��


    Qin Chong��s expression changed, being aware that he could not deceive him anymore. He could only smile bitterly. He said, ��H-How can it be? In the past, Empyrean Flutterfeather would always invite the Myriad Treasure Tower��s Empyrean Purplewing over. I didn��t expect that �� he actually invited Master Ye this time?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows could not help furrowing when he heard it and started musing.


    Previously when he agreed to Empyrean Flutterfeather, he forgot that there was such a thing.


    Since each city lord had another grandmaster spot, then it would definitely be existences that were about the same as them in the past!


    Now that this spot was given to him, wouldn��t he have offended another grandmaster?


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help feeling a headache.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather gave him an extremely high status, but Empyrean Flutterfeather also put him on the fire to roast.


    By the side, Qin Chong��s thoughts drifted, speculating Ye Yuan��s identity.


    Could it be that this Ye Yuan came from the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma and was a newly emerged genius junior of Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma?


    Coming to the Cloudpill Summit this time was likely to come and experience it.


    It was just that giving him a grandmaster token was a little too extravagant, right?


    For Ye Yuan��s bit of strength to really want to experience things, wouldn��t putting him in the disciples�� generation to spar with those people be more meaningful?


    Thinking about it, Qin Chong also felt that something was not right.


    Ye Yuan��s martial arts strength was extremely strong. Jumping realms to battle was nothing difficult. Then how strong could his alchemy strength be?


    This place was the Cloudpill Summit and not the Martial Dao Summit.


    Thinking up to here, Qin Chong became even more disdainful toward Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Alright! You, a martial arts powerhouse, came to the Cloudpill Summit to pass off as a grandmaster!


    When the time comes, you��ll be embarrassed.


    He was practically certain that Ye Yuan was the kind of profligate descendant who was conceited and insolent on account of his ability.


    He stayed for a long time in the Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda and came out to look for fun. Qin Chong also saw that he even brought along a beautiful maidservant by his side.


    Of course, he could only put these thoughts in his heart and naturally would not say it out.


    ��Alright, you can go. Oh, right! She��s called Ning Siyu. Help her arrange a bit for her to take part in the Cloudpill Summit,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Yes, Your Excellency.�� Qin Chong was unable to make head or tail of it, but still answered and left.


    Could it be that this kid came to take part in the Cloudpill Summit for this lass?


    Occupying a grandmaster spot for a mere Five-star Alchemy God, truly capricious!


    ��


    A Third Firmament True God grandmaster spread in the inner-city very quickly.


    Beyond the shock, there was even more indignance.


    What capability did a mere Third Firmament True God have, to actually be able to get a grandmaster token?


    One had to know, Six-star Alchemy Gods could be easily found in the city. Many were young and promising genius figures. There were also peak Six-star Alchemy Gods that enjoyed high prestige and commanded universal respect.


    Which of these people were not stronger than Ye Yuan?


    Especially when everyone knew that Ye Yuan was merely a thousand over years old. Furthermore, after knowing that his martial arts were rather impressive, this indignant feeling spread even more.


    At this time, seven to eight alchemy geniuses were currently gathered in a restaurant discussing this matter.


    ��Brother Yun Yi, you aren��t aware, but that kid is really arrogant to the extreme, saying that he��s what number one alchemy genius! To talk about this number one alchemy genius, it can only be Brother Yun Yi!�� The one talking was precisely Zheng Buqun.


    Ever since learning that Ye Yuan had a grandmaster token in his possession, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.


    How could a mere Third Firmament True God be worthy of the grandmaster token?


    Ye Yuan ��uttered wild ravings�� and completely did not put his Zheng Family in his sights at all.


    He could not swallow this insult.


    It was just that Ye Yuan had a grandmaster token in his hand, so he had to swallow it even if he did not want to.


    But just because he could not do anything to Ye Yuan, it did not mean that others could not as well.


    Yun Yi was a genius alchemist of this Cloudpill Summit, one of the extremely few geniuses who broke through to Dao Realm in this Cloudpill Summit.


    Barring no accidents, the champion crowned in the Cloudpill Summit this time would be born from these few Dao Realm powerhouses.


    Furthermore, this Yun Yi��s identity was special. He was Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson, possessing an extremely exalted status even in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    With him around, wouldn��t dragging that conceited brat down the horse be easily accomplished?


    At the very least, Yun Yi could make him lose all standing and reputation, and leave Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital dusty and dirty in appearance.

 Chapter 2021 - Challenging in Public

    ��Number one alchemy genius? Huhu, what high-sounding sentiments. At his age, even if he started refining pills in his mother��s womb, his accomplishments will also be limited, right? Let alone that I heard that his martial arts are very formidable,�� Yun Yi said with a disdainful look.


    ��Yeah, I saw with my own eyes. He sent the Fifth Firmament True God Commander Gan flying with one move,�� Zheng Buqun said.


    Yun Yi could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��If I didn��t guess wrongly, he��s probably a martial genius that came from Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma, carrying Empyrean Flutterfeather��s signboard and coming to Cloudpill Summit to bluff and swindle people. It��s just a shame that he made the wrong calculations!��


    The moment Zheng Buqun heard, his face could not help revealing a look of great joy as he said, ��Is Brother Yun Yi taking action?��


    Yun Yi waved his hand and said, ��Do you think that the Cloudpill Summit��s grandmaster tokens are all for show? As long as one comes with a grandmaster token, those are all the Cloudpill Summit��s most noble guests. We must treat them with courtesy.��


    Hearing this, everyone had disappointed looks.


    Those present were all alchemy geniuses, so how could they stand a martial arts genius riding on top of their heads and flaunting his prowess?


    Moreover, slapping the face of a grandmaster was also something very delightful.


    But him holding a grandmaster token was like holding an imperial sword; you could not do anything about it!


    ��Brother Yun Yi, could it be that there��s no other way?��


    ��Yeah, a little brat also dares proclaim to be the number one alchemy genius, is his hair fully grown?��


    ��Could it be that at this Cloudpill Summit, we have to keep on watching him continue to be arrogant?��


    ��


    The alchemy geniuses present were all filled with righteous indignation, faces revealing indignant expressions.


    But they saw Yun Yi��s face reveal a hint of a ruminating smile and said coolly, ��My Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital is the number one holy land of the Southern Border Alchemy Dao. How can we allow such a person to exist? So what if it��s the grandmaster token? People who hold a position without qualifications are absolutely not allowed to stay and humiliate the Cloudpill Summit.��


    When everyone heard that, they all revealed knowing smiles.


    ��


    What Empyrean Flutterfeather said was right. The Cloudpill Summit indeed did not let Ye Yuan down.


    These few days, Ye Yuan brought Ning Siyu along and bought many rare rank six spirit medicines.


    The places that Ye Yuan liked to shop the most were some big and small marketplaces.


    At those places, one could frequently pick up some pretty good spirit medicines.


    These marketplaces had every strange and peculiar thing. There were even quite a few obscure pill formulas.


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower��s power and influence were tremendous, they also could not get every single spirit medicine. This Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital gathered the entire Southern Border��s top alchemists. It naturally could not come into existence without people who came to do business.


    With countless alchemy powerhouses gathering in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, this kind of business opportunity naturally could not be missed.


    At this time, Ye Yuan two people were currently strolling idly in the eastern-street marketplaces, but then they heard a wave of discussions.


    ��Did you guys hear? A True God Realm grandmaster actually came to the Cloudpill Summit this time. It already raised a huge uproar in the entire city.��


    ��What? Six-star Alchemy God grandmaster? You aren��t joking, right? This bit of strength can��t even compare to me. Yet, he e also dares to be a grandmaster?��


    ��Heh heh, I heard that he came from some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda. It was probably applying pressure on the grandmasters through the Heavenly Emperor, and that��s how the grandmaster token was given.��


    ��This is also treating things too trivially! The Cloudpill Summit is the Southern Border��s grandest event. It��s also not what one or two Heavenly Emperors can influence!��


    ��Wait and see! The grandmaster token isn��t so easy to get! That punk will definitely make a big spectacle of himself when the time comes!��


    ��


    Hearing everyone��s discussions, Ning Siyu used a peculiar expression to look at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan was expressionless like they were not talking about him at all.


    Ning Siyu sometimes suspected whether or not an old monster��s soul lived inside Ye Yuan��s body.


    This guy was also too capable of keeping his cool.


    ��Your Excellency, if I were you, I��d show my skill for them to see. I��ll let them know that you��re worthy of this grandmaster token!�� Ning Siyu said indignantly.


    In reality, they could hear this sort of discussion everywhere these few days. He already became the greatest topic of conversation for the alchemists in the city.


    There were even quite a number of people who put out the word that they wanted to challenge this grandmaster and trample him underfoot.


    It was just that they did not know that that so-called Six-star grandmaster was beside them.


    Clearly, this Six-star grandmaster already became the stepping stone for these Six-star Alchemy Gods to make a name for themselves.


    One had to know, defeating a grandmaster, what sublime glory that would be!


    Ye Yuan just smiled. He did not speak.


    Reaching his present realm, Ye Yuan had long already passed the time of seeking to prevail over others.


    Those able to enter his arcane sights were only peak-existence big shots like Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    Was there any meaning to contend with a bunch of rookies over this?


    The two people were currently talking when a group of people suddenly rushed over in a haste, directly surrounding the two people in the middle.


    Ning Siyu��s face changed and she said, ��What do you guys want to do?��


    A young man bowed in salute towards Ye Yuan and said, ��I��m Qiannan Great Imperial Capital��s Luo Yue. I want to ask Grandmaster Ye to give a pointer or two.��


    ��I��m Eastpride��s Wu Family��s Wu Zhan. I have some confusion in alchemy and want to ask Grandmaster Ye to resolve them.��


    ��I��m ����


    ��


    With a rush, these young geniuses all reported their backgrounds, all identifying Ye Yuan by name and making Ye Yuan give pointers.


    Of course, giving pointers was fake, challenging was real.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s identity was exalted, so they could not very well say explicitly.


    But their eyes did not have any intention of seeking guidance at all. The flavor of provocation was thick.


    The actions of these young geniuses made the eastern-street marketplace burst into an uproar.


    They all used extremely surprised gazes to look at Ye Yuan. They did not expect that he was that Six-star grandmaster!


    ��Goodness gracious, he��s that Six-star grandmaster? This is also too young! Looking at the age, he��s probably also just a thousand over years old, right?��


    ��Terrific lads! Every one of these young geniuses, all have deep backgrounds! Qiannan Great Imperial Capital, Wu Family, each one is an alchemy holy land. Behind them are all Seven-star Alchemy God existences.��


    ��Heh heh, there��s a good show to watch now! I��m really very curious what this lad relied on to get the grandmaster token!��


    ��


    After exclaiming, everyone all had gloating expressions.


    Especially after seeing Ye Yuan��s age, they were even more indignant and discontented. This kind of age, how could he be worthy of the grandmaster token?


    They did not feel that they were worthy of the grandmaster token. But past grandmasters were all god-like figures. Ye Yuan holding this token, they felt that it sullied its meaning.


    There were likely 20 over young geniuses present. They were all Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    Ye Yuan swept through with an amused look and said smilingly, ��You all �� want to challenge me?��


    Luo Yue smiled coldly and said, ��Since Grandmaster Ye took the grandmaster token, then you��re naturally a heavenly figure. It��s just �� don��t know if you dare to accept our challenge or not?��


    Luo Yue was intentionally using the grandmaster token to force Ye Yuan. If Ye Yuan dared to avoid the battle in broad daylight, they want to see what face he still has to use the grandmaster token to bluff people.


    Ye Yuan��s expression did not change as he said coolly, ��You already said that I��m a heavenly figure. How are you all, these mortals �� worthy of challenging me?��


    Luo Yue laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You really went along with it! You don��t even dare to accept our challenge, don��t you find it scalding to hold the grandmaster token?��


    Ye Yuan��s face was not red and his heart did not race as he said coolly, ��It��s also not that you guys can��t challenge me, but ����


    The eyes of Luo Ye and the rest lit up, revealing smiles of their plan succeeding.

 Chapter 2022 - It’s You All Challenging Her!

    Luo Ye��s eyes lit up and he asked, ��But what?��


    But Ye Yuan��s gaze turned to Ning Siyu and the other people��s gazes followed his gaze and also landed on Ning Siyu.


    Smart people already guessed Ye Yuan��s intention and could not help getting a big shock.


    Sure enough, it was only to hear Ye Yuan slowly saying, ��You have to beat her first.��


    Ning Siyu looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and used her finger to point at herself as she said, ��M-Me?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Right, it��s you!��


    Ning Siyu jumped up like a rabbit that got a scare and repeatedly waved her hands and said, ��No way, no way! Your Excellency, I can��t do it! I �� I will lose face for you!��


    Ning Siyu was filled with confidence in Ye Yuan, but her confidence in herself was not that strong.


    In Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, although she was already an apex existence, what kind of place was this?


    This place was Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, it was the Cloudpill Summit, the holy land in the hearts of all of the Southern Border��s alchemists.


    These geniuses in front of her, they all came from influential alchemy clans and ancient families. The might of their strength was top-notch among the entire Southern Border��s young generation.


    What did she count for compared to these people?


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was ultimately just a small place!


    This feeling of inferiority filled Ning Siyu��s body and heart.


    Let alone that these people in front of her were all Six-star Alchemy Gods, while she was merely a Five-star Alchemy God.


    This kind of challenge that crossed realms, the pressure was enormous.


    Not everyone was Lord Ye Yuan.


    When Luo Yue and the rest saw Ning Siyu��s reaction, they could not help being amused.


    ��She �� Grandmaster Ye is making her challenge us? Hahaha �� we��re all Six-star Alchemy Gods. Is there a mistake?�� Luo Yue said with a loud laugh.


    ��Hahaha!��


    The surroundings guffawed with laughter, clearly finding Ye Yuan��s way of doing things very funny.


    Ning Siyu��s appearance did not look like an alchemy expert no matter how one looked at her.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and shook his head as he said, ��It��s not her challenging you, it��s you challenging her.��


    Luo Yue opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, ��Me? Challenging her? Got to be joking! What qualifications does a mere Five-star Alchemy God have to make me challenge her?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You��ll naturally know after competing. You all, each one counts as one. As long as you succeed in defeating her, you��ll have the qualifications to issue a challenge to me.��


    Everyone��s faces revealed looks of amusement. This kid was not a fool, right?


    This kind of person actually had a grandmaster token in his hands. This was an insult to the grandmaster token!


    ��Okay, this is what you said yourself!�� Luo Yue said with a sneer.


    Ning Siyu winked at Ye Yuan repeatedly and whispered, ��Ye Yuan, I can��t do it. I really can��t!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold and he said, ��Following me for so many years, if you can��t even win them, then don��t return to Heavenly Eagle anymore.��


    Ning Siyu��s face changed, she knew that Ye Yuan was serious.


    If His Excellency really did not let her return to Heavenly Eagle, what should she do?


    ��Your Excellency, I �� I got it!�� Ning Siyu said like an aggrieved little wifey.


    Saying finish, she gritted her teeth and said to Luo Yue, ��Which of you will come first?��


    Luo Yue laughed loudly and said, ��Little girlie, do you really take yourself to be a grandmaster? Do you know who we are?��


    Ning Siyu��s face fell and she said, ��Whoever you are, I absolutely won��t lose to you! Otherwise, His Excellency won��t let me return to Heavenly Eagle anymore!��


    Seeing Ning Siyu��s appearance, Ye Yuan also secretly found it funny.


    Even if Ning Siyu really lost, he also would not forbid her from returning to Heavenly Eagle.


    It was just that this lass was too lacking in confidence in herself. Not applying some pressure on her, it would likely be hard for her to unleash her full strength.


    Following Ye Yuan these few years, her strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Ye Yuan naturally had a score in his heart.


    Ordinary so-called geniuses were not her match at all.


    Luo Yue laughed when he heard that and said, ��Then you definitely can��t go back anymore. Because in a while, you��ll lose until you doubt life! Hahaha!��


    The group of people stared at Ning Siyu like a bunch of gray wolves staring at a little rabbit, showing an appearance of cornering it.


    ��Sigh, it��s also hard on this girlie, to have actually followed such an unreliable master.��


    ��These alchemy geniuses are all distinguished talents of the young generation. How could a mere Five-star Alchemy God be a match?��


    ��This lass is really pitiable. I reckon that she can��t even win one match!��


    ��


    The onlooking crowd in the marketplace were all using pitying gazes to look at Ning Siyu and also using jeering gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    This grandmaster was seriously fooling around too much!


    It was fine that he was trash, he even had to push his maidservant into the fire pit.


    Ning Siyu said coldly, ��Talk again after winning me!��


    Luo Yue smiled and said, ��Fine then. Du Ruofei, you play with her first!��


    A young man in exquisite clothing stepped out of the ranks. His gaze when looking at Ning Siyu was full of relishing as if victory was already within grasp.


    ��Heh, little girl, this young master is here to challenge you. You have to show leniency!�� Du Ruofei


    ��


    At this time, inside a restaurant outside of the eastern-street marketplace, Yun YI, Zheng Buqun, and the rest were shockingly present.


    Listening entirely to a manservant��s report, Yun Yi shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��This Grandmaster Ye is probably at the end of his ropes, right? To actually make his own little maid challenge the Cloudpill Summit��s geniuses?��


    Zheng Buqun scoffed and said, ��Brother Yun Yi��s words are not correct. Didn��t you hear what that manservant said? It��s the Cloudpill Summit��s geniuses challenging the little maid!��


    Finished saying, there was immediately loud laughter inside the box room.


    Yun Yi shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��I originally thought that this kid had some capabilities, but I didn��t expect that he��s so unreliable. Although Luo Yue they all aren��t the top geniuses of this summit, they are also sufficient to rank into the top 100. How can they be what a mere rank five little maid can deal with?��


    Zheng Buqun smiled and said, ��Brother Yun Yi really has nice means, slightly revealing Ye Yuan��s whereabouts to everyone, to make our Grandmaster Ye reveal his true colors! I��m very curious now how this Grandmaster Ye plans on cleaning up the mess.��


    Yun Yi waved his hand and said smilingly, ��Isn��t this minor thing still easily resolvable to me? Let��s drink first, I reckon that there will be news coming over very soon. Although Du Ruofei��s strength isn��t much, it shouldn��t take too long to deal with a mere Five-star Alchemy God little girl.��


    Finished talking, Yun Yi and the rest clanged wine cups and wine flowed freely, extremely cheerful.


    In a twinkle, four hours passed. The few people were currently chatting away idly when that manservant suddenly barged inside.


    Yun Yi��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��Where��s your sense of decorum being in such a fluster?��


    The manservant jumped in fright and hurriedly knelt down and said, ��Young Master, forgive my mistake!��


    Yun Yi had his mind on Du Ruofei and Ning Siyu��s alchemy battle. Waving his hand dismissively, he said, ��How is it? Is the result out?��


    The manservant hurriedly said, ��It��s out! Young Master Du Ruofei returned in utter defeat! The entire eastern-street marketplace is in an uproar!��


    ��What? Du Ruofei lost? This �� How is this possible?�� Yun Yi said with a face full of disbelief.


    ��Are you mistaken? Du Ruofei��s alchemy strength already reached the late-stage Initial Realm. He would actually lose to a Five-star Alchemy God little lass?�� Zheng Buqun��s face similarly had a look of astonishment.


    The manservant hurriedly said, ��Won��t be wrong! This lowly one was in the crowd and saw it clearly! That young lady��s momentum was overpowering, suppressing Young Master Du Ruofei all the way, finally refining a superior-grade medicinal pill!��


    Yun Yi and the rest looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost.

 Chapter 2023 - Maybe One Day

    ��Go, find out more!�� Yun Yi said, gnashing his teeth.


    The manservant answered and hurriedly withdrew.


    Yun Yi��s expression was very ugly. Originally he thought that Ye Yuan was just a grandmaster who held a position without qualifications. However, who knew that a little servant girl of his could actually defeat a Southern Border��s famous alchemy genius.


    More importantly, that lass was just a Five-star Alchemy God!


    ��Could it be that �� this Ye Yuan is really an alchemy grandmaster?�� Zheng Buqun said rather hesitantly.


    Yun Yi smiled coldly and said, ��Have you seen before a thousand years old alchemy grandmaster? Unless he��s the Medicine Ancestor��s personal disciple, otherwise �� don��t even think about it!��


    Zheng Buqun could not help choking, also feeling that he was thinking too much.


    Wanting to reach the grandmaster level, at least one had to be at the middle or late-stage Dao Realm too.


    The breakthrough of Alchemy Dao was far too difficult. Forget about Dao Realm, even the difficulty level of Initial Realm was tremendous.


    Only at the Cloudpill Summit could one see so many middle and late-stage Initial Realms, or even peak Initial Realm powerhouses.


    As for those in the Dao Realm, there were far too few!


    And after reaching the Dao Realm, every scrap and iota of advancement was extremely difficult.


    Just like Empyrean Flutterfeather, there was the accumulation of countless years of effort before he had his present realm.


    Even so, without sky-high talent, even if giving a person tens of millions of years, the person might not be able to reach the grand completion Dao Realm no matter what.


    Those coming to take part in the Cloudpill Summit this time were mostly genius alchemists at the three to five thousand age bracket. For Yun Yi to be able to reach the initial-stage Dao Realm at this age, it was already shockingly talented.


    As for grandmaster, how was that possible?


    ��Heh heh, if he can reach grandmaster standard at this age, forget about us, even Great Grandpa and Empyrean Flutterfeather they all, wouldn��t they become a joke?�� Yun Yi said with a cold laugh.


    Zheng Buqun nodded and said, ��What Brother Yun Yi said is extremely right! Looks like this lass still has some strength. It��s just that being able to beat Du Ruofei was also just good luck!��


    Yun Yi nodded his head and said, ��It��s only natural!��


    However, the things that developed next completely surpassed their imaginations.


    Before long, the manservant returned again to report. He said, ��Ning Siyu versus Zhan Jiaqing, perfect victory!��


    ��Ning Siyu versus Zhan Songfang, perfect victory!��


    ��


    One news after another came over, everyone inside the room was thoroughly struck senseless.


    One or two could still be said to be due to luck.


    But, eliminating seven to eight in one go, could it still be luck?


    This battle lasted for four days and four nights.


    In the end, Yun Yi and the rest were long already numb.


    Ning Siyu fought 20 over matches in a row and actually suffered zero defeat!


    This kind of strength had blown up no idea how many people��s eyeballs.


    The current eastern-street marketplace was long already overcrowded. More and more alchemists were drawn over.


    ��How can this girl��s strength be so strong? Looking at her appearance, she��s only a step away from the Dao Realm!��


    ��The reason for the servant depends on the master. Could it be that this Grandmaster Ye is really the number one alchemy genius?��


    ��This lass is here to take part in the Cloudpill Summit, right? This kind of strength, who can be her match among Five-star Alchemy Gods?��


    ��


    The onlookers�� cries of exclamations repeated again and again. Currently, they were already prostrating on all fours in admiration toward Ning Siyu.


    To be able to crush a bunch of Six-star geniuses with Five-star Alchemy God strength, this kind of battle achievement was sufficient to make her shoot to fame.


    At this time, Luo Yue was covered with sweat. The shock in his heart was already unable to use words to describe.


    He was not some random Tom, Dick, and Harry. His Alchemy Dao was already comprehended to late-stage Initial Realm. He was just a step away from grand completion.


    But even so, after he fought with Ning Siyu for four hours, he was already firmly suppressed by Ning Siyu.


    At this time, he already had no way of remedying the situation and was unable to salvage his defeat anymore.


    These few days, he had been observing Ning Siyu the entire time.


    From the initial disdain to shock, then to stupefaction, he long did not have the initial-most underestimating heart anymore.


    But he was still confident in himself.


    According to his observations, Ning Siyu��s Alchemy Dao strength was also merely at the late-stage Initial Realm. She was around the same as him.


    But his age was a little older than Ning Siyu. So he was confident that he would not lose to Ning Siyu.


    But after the face-off, he discovered that he was wrong very quickly!


    Ning Siyu flowed continuously when refining pills, seemingly like the sea that stretched long and unbroken, without any weaknesses to exploit at all.


    In the four-hour contest, he did not find any opportunity at all.


    Suddenly, he felt Ning Siyu��s aura grow stronger and stronger, sharper and fiercer.


    Luo Yue felt that this opponent in front of him was like a celestial deity that descended to the mortal world, her aura became incomparably mighty.


    The powerful aura crushed over like toppling mountains and overturning the seas.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Finally, he could not withstand it and spurted out a mouthful of blood.


    He looked at Ning Siyu with a look of astonishment, full of disbelief.


    ��She �� She actually broke through!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Ning Siyu, his face revealing a look of relief.


    The reason why he brought Ning Siyu to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital was in order to find a breakthrough opportunity for her.


    With so many geniuses gathering, this was clearly the best occasion to train.


    Ning Siyu also did not let him down. Under Ye Yuan��s tremendous pressure, her courage mounted as the fights progressed, finally breaking through to the grand completion Initial Realm.


    Taking this step, she would be able to push forward toward the goal of Dao Realm.


    ��Grand completion Initial Realm! A Five-star Alchemy God could reach grand completion Initial Realm! This �� What kind of talent is this!��


    ��Why has such a genius never been heard of before in the past?��


    ��Could it be that this girl was really groomed by Grandmaster Ye? But �� But his age isn��t even as old as this lass!��


    ��


    There were cries of exclamations all around. Currently, they unwittingly started to waver about Ye Yuan��s strength.


    At this time, Ning Siyu slowly opened her eyes and said coolly, ��What does a Five-star Alchemy God reaching Initial Realm count for? When His Excellency was at Three-star Alchemy God, he already stepped into the Dao Realm! He is the true genius!��


    Breaking through to the grand completion Initial Realm, Ning Siyu felt that her state of mind was already totally different.


    Originally, she thought that her strength could not compete with these ancient families�� descendants.


    But now, she was filled with confidence!


    She already could not find an opponent among her peers.


    Weren��t these Six-star Alchemy Gods defeated at her hands too?


    But the more it was so, the more she felt that Ye Yuan was unfathomable.


    The comprehension of Initial Realm was already so difficult, so how did Ye Yuan comprehend Dao Realm at Heaven Glimpse Realm?


    Could he not bear the name of number one alchemy genius?


    In Ning Siyu��s heart, the Medicine Ancestor was also merely thus, right?


    It was just that her words caused a mighty uproar in the crowd.


    ��What? Three-star Alchemy God, Dao Realm? This �� This isn��t joking around, right?!��


    ��Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If it��s really like this, then wouldn��t so-called geniuses become a joke?��


    ��This lass, even if she won, there��s also no need to elevate that punk like this, right? Saying this sort of word, there also has to be someone who believes it!��


    ��


    Ning Siyu reached grand completion Initial Realm when at Five-star Alchemy God; this was already outrageous to hear.


    Now, she actually said that Ye Yuan comprehended Dao Realm when at Three-star, this was complete utter nonsense!


    Reaching the Dao Realm when at the Three-star Alchemy God Realm, then him being at the Six-star Alchemy God Realm now, what kind of realm was he in?


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, went to Luo Yue��s side, and said coolly, ��Looks like your bit of strength isn��t able to obtain the qualifications to challenge me. Go back and train more. Perhaps one day in the future, you��ll have the qualifications to challenge me.��

 Chapter 2024 - Venting Frustration

    ��Your Excellency, I won! I really won! It turns out that my strength is actually already so strong!��


    Beside Ye Yuan, Ning Siyu danced with joy, becoming like a different person from the queen just now.


    This feeling right now made her have a feeling of transforming from a swallow into a phoenix.


    To Ning Siyu, the imperial capital was a massive place.


    How many geniuses were there in the entire Southern Border?


    This level of alchemy battle was not what she, a little girl who came from the countryside, could take part in at all.


    But after exchanging blows with Luo Yue they all, she suddenly discovered that it turns out she had long already been standing on the same starting line as the entire Southern Border��s geniuses under His Excellency��s guidance.


    No, wait! It should be that she had walked even further!


    These so-called ancient families�� descendants, alchemy geniuses, were actually all defeated at her hands.


    Even thinking about it now, Ning Siyu felt rather incredulous.


    Ye Yuan said, ��These people were merely instigated by others. Their strength isn��t considered strong. In this Cloudpill Summit, the true geniuses should have already stepped into the Dao Realm.��


    Ning Siyu��s gaze turned intent and she said in surprise, ��So impressive?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��But you don��t need to belittle yourself either. Wanting to step into the Dao Realm, they are at least Six-star Alchemy Gods. Among Five-star Alchemy Gods, your strength can practically sweep through already.��


    Ning Siyu said solemnly, ��Siyu won��t lose face for Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and brought Ning Siyu and left, only leaving behind the crowd with stunned expressions.


    ��


    ��Young Master Yun, Ning Siyu and Luo Yue fought hard for more than four hours. Finally, Ning Siyu broke through to the grand completion Initial Realm, overpowering Luo Yue. All 23 ancient families�� alchemy geniuses were defeated!��


    After listening entirely to the manservant��s report, there was death-like silence inside the box room.


    Originally wanted to take Ye Yuan down a notch and make him reveal his true colors. Who knew that they helped Ye Yuan��s maidservant achieve her aim.


    The Cloudpill Summit��s great battle had yet to start and Ning Siyu��s great name was likely going to echo throughout Cloudpill.


    An ancient family��s descendant suddenly said, ��T-This Ning Siyu��s strength is likely also a top ten existence when placed among Six-star Alchemy Gods!��


    ��To be able to teach such a terrifying maidservant, could he ����


    Ning Siyu��s performance finally made these people start to waver.


    ��Impossible!�� Yun Yi denied this guess firmly and said coldly, ��I understand! This lass must be the protective talisman that Empyrean Flutterfeather gave Ye Yuan. Ning Siyu is probably Empyrean Flutterfeather��s beloved disciple! You guys, think about it yourselves. What were you doing when you were a thousand plus years old? Even if he��s exceptionally talented, it��s also impossible to reach the realm of grandmaster, isn��t that so?��


    The moment Zheng Buqun heard, his eyes also lit up and he said with a nod, ��What Brother Yun Yi says is right, we were nearly hoodwinked! It��s just that, I didn��t expect that Empyrean Flutterfeather actually brought up such a formidable disciple. Given time, there will likely be another genius figure in the Southern Border��s alchemy world!��


    Everyone secretly nodded when they heard it. They had no way of refuting.


    ��Brother Yun Yi, this punk concealed himself too deeply. What should we do?�� An ancient family��s descendant said.


    Yun Yi had an appearance like everything was planned out as he said with a faint smile, ��Relax. He can avoid for a moment, but he can��t avoid for life. Our statuses are a little low, but don��t you all forget, there are still those grandmasters! Moreover �� you all don��t forget, there��s still Empyrean Purplewing! Brother Buqun, this will have to rely on you!��


    Zheng Buqun and Yun Yi exchanged a glance and could not help laughing.


    ��


    Inside a luxurious pavilion in the inner-city, powerful undulations spread out.


    But after these undulations came into contact with the pavilion��s array formation, they were extinguished very quickly.


    ��Condense!��


    Suddenly, a cold cry came over.


    Pill formed!


    ��Excellent skills! Brother Purplewing��s strength is a notch higher compared to the last Cloudpill Summit!��


    ��Impressive! Impressive! This Blue Sky Zenith Pill, this Empyrean has attempted many times, but I couldn��t refine it from start to end. I didn��t expect that Brother Purplewing actually succeeded in one try!��


    Beside the medicinal cauldron, the Empyrean Purplewing dressed in purple robes revealed a hint of smugness on his face.


    ��Heh, originally, this Empyrean didn��t plan on coming this time. But I couldn��t simply accept Brother Pilljade��s boundless hospitality. That��s why I agreed to it with great difficulty,�� Empyrean Purplewing said with a smile. It was just that the smile was rather awkward.


    After he knew that Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the grandmaster token to a snotty brat. There was no need to mention how enraged he was.


    But Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status was above his. He also could not go and find the other party to reason it out. He naturally had a stomach full of anger.


    Originally, he did not plan on coming. But Empyrean Pilljade issued an invitation to him.


    Considering Empyrean Pilljade��s face, he naturally had to give.


    He came, but this hurdle in his heart could not be cleared no matter what.


    Inside this pavilion were all Empyrean powerhouses, Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    The Cloudpill Summit was not merely just the stage for those genius alchemists to exhibit themselves. Actually, the top priority was their exchange, these Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    Alchemy Dao entering Seven-star, the effort expended that was required for each improvement made, was calculated with tens of thousands of years.


    During this kind of exchange, everyone each took what they were good at, and could naturally help each other forward.


    A Seven-star Alchemy God said, ��Sigh! Also don��t know how Brother Flutterfeather thinks, to actually give the grandmaster token to a brat still wet behind his ears. His status is even above ours. How will we, these old fellows, put our faces?��


    Empyrean Purplewing chuckled and said, ��Perhaps that kid��s Alchemy Dao is really exceedingly formidable, crushing us at a young age? Brother Flutterfeather naturally has his reason to do so.��


    On the outside, Empyrean Flutterfeather and him, Empyrean Purplewing, were both Empyreans under Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s command. He naturally could not be too diametrically opposed when talking.


    But the sourness in the implied and explicit meaning of his words, even a pig could discern it.


    Being ridden on top of his head by a Six-star Alchemy God, this taste was not pleasant.


    At this time, an Empyrean powerhouse came forward to urge, ��It��s still Brother Purplewing who is broadminded! Your strength, all of us has a score in our hearts and don��t need a grandmaster token to affirm it at all. Apart from the seven great holy lands�� masters, Brother Purplewing��s strength is also the pinnacle-most existence among grandmasters.��


    Empyrean Purplewing smiled and said, ��Brother Zheng is too kind! There is always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven! This Empyrean came this time primarily to catch up with everyone and have exchanges.��


    The Empyrean powerhouse speaking was precisely the Zheng Family��s ancestor, Seven-star Alchemy God, Zheng Qiyuan.


    A few days ago, he heard Zheng Buqun��s report, saying that Ye Yuan was incomparably arrogant and looked down on the Zheng Family.


    Zheng Qiyuan naturally flew into a great rage after hearing it. A mere Six-star Alchemy God actually dared to challenge him?


    Holding a grandmaster token and he really took himself to be a grandmaster?


    This brat that came from God knows where was also arrogant to the extreme.


    Zheng Qiyuan smiled and said, ��Currently in the city, the rumors are that Ye Yuan is the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma��s newly-ascended genius disciple. Empyrean Flutterfeather only gave the grandmaster token to him due to being coerced by Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s pressure. Brother Purplewing, you��re also under Lord Myriad Treasure, wonder if there��s such a thing?��


    ��Bullshit genius disciple! There��s no such person in the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma at all!�� Empyrean Purplewing could not refrain from cursing.


    Zheng Qiyuan was also slightly surprised when he heard. His thinking was the same as Zheng Buqun. He did not expect that Ye Yuan did not come from the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma at all.


    ��So that��s how it is! Then I��m very perplexed, Brother Purplewing! How about this, we invite him over to our conference? Everyone will help you vent this frustration!�� Zheng Qiyuan said.

 Chapter 2025 - Not Treating Himself as an Outsider

    ��Ye Yuan, somebody sent an invitation over earlier. The person said to let you open it personally.�� Ning Siyu handed an invitation to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan opened it and took a look, and his brows could not help knitting together.


    Ning Siyu also had a curious face. Moving closer to take a look, she discovered that it turned out it was an invitation to an alchemy gathering.


    ��Your Excellency, these are all Empyrean powerhouses, Seven-star Alchemy Gods! Tsk tsk, grandmasters are grandmasters, even the treatment is different,�� Ning Siyu smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Grandmaster? Huhu, there��s probably an ulterior motive, right?��


    Ning Siyu was stunned but reacted very quickly.


    In her heart, Ye Yuan was a powerhouse on the same level as these Seven-star Alchemy Gods. So her first reaction when she saw the invitation was that Ye Yuan was very impressive.


    But as long as one thought about it slightly, they would know that something was not right.


    She thought so, but they did not think that way!


    Could those Empyreans have a high opinion of Ye Yuan, this Six-star Alchemy God?


    ��Like that huh? Then we aren��t going?�� Ning Siyu said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Go. Why aren��t we going? Being able to become a Seven-star Alchemy God, there��s bound to be some saving grace. Since that��s the case, what��s the harm in going to interact with them?��


    Ye Yuan agreeing to come to the Cloudpill Summit was aiming at these Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    Reaching the realm of Seven-star Alchemy God Realm, each one could not be underestimated.


    Ye Yuan had never doubted his alchemy talent, but he would also never be arrogant and conceited.


    Back then, in Cloudmarsh City, he fought fiercely for several thousand matches. It was not in order to deliberately show off his talent but to learn widely from others�� strong points.


    And after that, he indeed learned a lot from other people. His alchemy strength also improved at a tremendous pace.


    Coming to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital this time, his goal was also the same.


    As for Luo Yue those people, they were not worth mentioning at all in Ye Yuan��s eyes. He naturally could not be bothered to take action.


    What��s the point of making a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse and a Celestial Deity martial artist discuss about Martial Dao.


    Wanting to converse with Ye Yuan as equals, they needed to be at the middle-stage Dao Realm at the very least.


    Ning Siyu hesitated and said, ��But these people are clearly harboring ill-intent!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Want to make things difficult for me, they at least got to reach Brother Flutterfeather��s strength too. Just the likes of them aren��t qualified enough.��


    By the side, Ning Siyu had a besotted appearance.


    This calm confidence seemed played down, but actually, that sort of might was established on the foundation of countless victories.


    This kind of imposing momentum was even stronger than that kind of imposing momentum which showed disdain on all under the heavens.


    And this kind of man naturally attracted women even more.


    But Ning Siyu had long given up on this thought. She knew that His Excellency had fetters in his heart.


    The current Ning Siyu was already very satisfied. As long as she could stay by His Excellency��s side like this, she was already very satisfied.


    ��


    ��Halt! Qiandan Pavilion is Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s important place. Miscellaneous personnel is not to enter!��


    Ye Yuan came to a tall multi-storeyed pavilion according to the address and was immediately stopped by a Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse. His words were full of warning.


    A Third Firmament True God dared to run here, was there a problem with his head?


    Ye Yuan took out the invitation and said coolly, ��Empyrean Lumen issued the invitation to me, written on it is this address. It should be correct, right?��


    Seeing the invitation, the Ninth Firmament True God��s face changed, using suspicious eyes to size Ye Yuan up.


    Why would Empyrean Lumen invite a True God Realm here?


    Opening the invitation to take a look, the Ninth Firmament True God��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� no �� Your Excellency, you��re Grandmaster Ye Yuan?��


    ��If there��s no second Ye Yuan, it should be me.�� Ye Yuan took out his grandmaster token. The other party��s expression instantly became incomparably awkward.


    He hurriedly returned the invitation to Ye Yuan and said in fear and trepidation, ��Your Excellency please don��t blame this lowly one �� This lowly one really didn��t recognize Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Can I go in now?��


    The Ninth Firmament True God squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying as he said, ��O-Of course!��


    Looking at Ye Yuan��s back view, he had an impulse of wanting to cry.


    This Ye Yuan was seriously too confusing, being simply a massive pit.


    Currently, there were also 8000 True God Realm martial artists in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital if there weren��t 10 thousand. Who knew that one of them was a grandmaster!


    Entering Qiandan Pavilion, Ye Yuan directly entered a transmission array and entered an area of space.


    There were already more than ten people in the space. They were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.


    These people��s auras were extremely strong. They were actually all Empyrean powerhouses!


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter, the group of Empyreans immediately stopped discussing, looking toward Ye Yuan collectively.


    Buzz!


    One powerful aura after another came from head-on. More than ten Empyrean powerhouses, even if they did not release Empyrean pressure, this sort of imposing momentum was also not what a puny little True God Realm could withstand.


    Among them were several gazes that were rather unfriendly.


    ��A mere True God Realm dares to barge into Qiandan Pavilion, are you tired of living?�� An Empyrean stepped out, causing powerful aura crushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    This person was none other than precisely Zheng Qiyuan.


    He naturally knew that this one in front of him was Ye Yuan. This was deliberately taking Ye Yuan down a notch, wanting to see the appearance of Ye Yuan being frightened until he peed his pants.


    Except, he was disappointed.


    Ye Yuan stood there lazily just like that as if nothing happened.


    What a joke! Empyrean Realm was powerful, but wanting to scare Ye Yuan just based on a bit of Empyrean pressure, Zheng Qiyuan was clearly thinking too much.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan completely ignore Zheng Qiyuan. Sweeping a glance over everyone��s faces, he opened his mouth and said coolly, ��Which one is Brother Lumen, I��m Ye Yuan.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s composed appearance, the group of Empyreans was all secretly surprised.


    Forget about a Third Firmament True God, even if a Ninth Firmament True God entered here, they would not even dare to breathe loudly!


    Let alone that Zheng Qiyuan even released his Empyrean pressure.


    But Ye Yuan was not affected at all.


    This kid was not simple!


    This was the first impression that Ye Yuan gave everyone.


    Zheng Qiyuan stood there awkwardly as if he was making a fool of himself.


    In the middle, a middle-aged man with a stern gaze opened his mouth and said smilingly, ��Huhu, turns out that it��s Grandmaster Ye! We��re currently discussing an ancient formula and just happen to be at a loss. Grandmaster Ye came right on time and can give us a pointer or two.��


    As he said, he came forward in swift steps, pulling Ye Yuan to join everyone.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Dare not say give pointers. Everybody should discuss it a bit.��


    This attitude made the group of Empyreans frown endlessly.


    This behavior seemingly made himself as someone in the same generation as the group of Empyreans.


    Did this kid not have any score in his heart about how much capability he had? Did he really take himself to be a grandmaster?


    Zheng Qiyuan had just suffered a loss and currently had nowhere to vent his fury. Hearing this, he could not help saying with a cold smile, ��Heh, truly boasting shamelessly! You, a mere Third Firmament True God, don��t even know if you can refine rank six divine pills or not, but you also dare to inquire about Seventh Firmament pill formulas?��


    Calling Ye Yuan over, this idea was given by him


    They were indeed also investigating the ancient formula. But this ancient formula was not that simple, they were also at a loss on what to do currently.


    But Ye Yuan postured the moment he came up. He really was not treating himself as an outsider!

 Chapter 2026 - Ancient Formula

    Ye Yuan��s brows raised slightly, and he looked at Zheng Qiyuan with a smile that was not a smile as he said, ��Didn��t Brother Lumen issue this invitation to me to invite me to come over and discuss together? Why? Can��t I discuss it?��


    Zheng Qiyuan could not help choking when he heard that, being asphyxiated by Ye Yuan badly.


    At this time, another Empyrean spoke up to rebuke, ��Insolence! You, a mere True God Realm, actually dare to call Brother Lumen brother, where��s the sense of propriety?��


    The other Empyreans deeply felt that way too, secretly nodding their heads.


    A Third Firmament True God addressing a group of Empyreans as brothers, it sounded strange no matter how they listened.


    Even if Ye Yuan had a grandmaster token in his hand!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he heard that. He knew that this bunch of guys felt displeased in their hearts. But he similarly had nothing to fear and just said coolly, ��Brother Flutterfeather and I interact as peers. Furthermore, I have this grandmaster token in my hands, so why can��t I call Brother Lumen? Forget it. If everyone feels that this Ye is a hindrance here, this Ye will leave. This kind of discussion and exchange, forget about it!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan turned around and walked straight for the transmission array.


    Zheng Qiyuan��s face could not help changing when he heard that. He was just very displeased looking at Ye Yuan��s arrogant appearance, so he attacked Ye Yuan non-stop.


    But if Ye Yuan really left, wouldn��t their carefully arranged scheme be in vain?


    They did it in order to nauseate Ye Yuan. Now, it became a problem; it gave Ye Yuan a way out now.


    Empyrean Lumen chuckled and hurriedly stopped Ye Yuan, saying, ��Wait a minute, Grandmaster Ye! These guys are all feeling psychologically shocked. Honestly speaking, I��m very interested in Grandmaster Ye. Brother Flutterfeather��s eyes are very discerning. For Grandmaster Ye to be able to be valued highly by him, you��re bound to be extraordinary!��


    Ye Yuan just sneered coldly in his heart. One was being the bad cop, the other was the good cop?


    What a deep scheme!


    Except, what did Ye Yuan have to fear?


    ��It��s not to the extent of being extraordinary, but exchanging a little with everyone, this Ye still has this qualification!�� Ye Yuan��s eyes narrowed slightly as he said coolly.


    What a conceited brat!


    The group of Empyreans also could not resist sucking in a cold breath.


    Such an arrogant True God Realm, it was still their first time seeing.


    ��Haha, that��s of course! People who get the grandmaster token naturally have the qualifications to discuss in-depth with us! Come, come, come, this is your seat, Grandmaster Ye.��


    Empyrean Lumen pulled Ye Yuan back again, pressing him on his seat.


    This seat was shockingly right beside Empyrean Lumen.


    ��Everyone, be seated, be seated. Come, Grandmaster Ye. Let me introduce us fellow daoists to you. This Empyrean is Lumen, East Heaven Great Imperial Capital��s Empyrean Windrider��s good friend.�� Empyrean Lumen said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I pay respects to Brother Lumen.��


    Zheng Qiyuan smiled coldly and said, ��Brother Lumen is an authentic grandmaster!��


    He was afraid of angering Ye Yuan and that he would run away again. But everyone understood the meaning in his words.


    Empyrean Lumen was an authentic grandmaster, while Ye Yuan was naturally a fake grandmaster!


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him, but he was also secretly shocked in his heart.


    it turned out that this Empyrean Lumen was actually a possessor of a grandmaster token too. No wonder these people all respected him.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��Sorry for any disrespect.��


    His impression of Empyrean Lumen was not good. This guy clearly plotted this scheme to humiliate him.


    Empyrean Lumen chuckled and said, ��What grandmaster? This Empyrean just benefited from Brother Windrider��s light, that��s all, it��s not worth mentioning. Rather, it��s Grandmaster Ye who shows great promise at a young age! Back then, hearing that a True God Realm grandmaster will be coming to the Cloudpill Summit this time, this Empyrean got a big shock! Come, come, come! Introduce to you more. This is Empyrean Purplewing, also a good friend of Brother Flutterfeather just like you. His alchemy strength isn��t weaker than mine!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Purplewing rather surprisedly. He did not expect that they actually met here.


    Hearing Lumen��s introduction, the group of Empyreans all looked at Ye Yuan with gloating faces, wanting to see whether this kid would feel embarrassed or not.


    Snatched people��s grandmaster token. Now, ran into the real owner, aren��t you embarrassed?


    Who knew that Ye Yuan clasped his hands at Empyrean Purplewing very calmly and said with a smile, ��I pay respects to Brother Purplewing.��


    ��Snort!��


    Empyrean Purplewing��s brows furrowed, snorting coldly and ignoring Ye Yuan.


    Everyone had amazed expression. This kid �� had such thick skin!


    Empyrean Lumen introduced one by one, Ye Yuan also greeted one by one.


    When he was introduced to Zheng Qiyuan, he finally knew why this guy was targeting him.


    It turned out that this guy was the Zheng Family��s ancestor, that Seven-star Alchemy God.


    But he took no notice of it. This Zheng Qiyuan��s strength was ranked in the middle and lower levels among this group of people, what threat could he pose to him?


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart, Empyrean Lumen��s introduction under this kind of occasion would definitely be according to the ranking in strength.


    Zheng Qiyuan��s ranking was very far back, clearly indicating that his strength was not strong.


    As for the rest, no one showed him any good attitude either.


    You, a True God Realm, were posturing in front of us, a bunch of Empyreans, still want to show you a good attitude?


    Ye Yuan had a score in his heart and also could not be bothered to fuss over it.


    ��Oh, right, we were discussing an ancient formula earlier and just happened to have no clues. Since Grandmaster Ye came, why not talk about your view?�� Empyrean Lumen said smilingly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Can you let this Ye take a look at this ancient formula?��


    Empyrean Lumen nodded and said, ��That��s of course!��


    As he said, he reached his hand out in front of him and swiped. A light screen appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��This ancient formula is called Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill. There are clear indications of seven core ingredients in the pill formula. But inside this incomplete pill formula, there are only four core ingredients. The other three kinds are unknown. These few days, after we��ve discussed, we��ve confirmed a core ingredient. But there are still two that can��t be confirmed. The various fellow daoists have raised many opinions, but in the end, it was all proven incorrect,�� Empyrean Lumen introduced.


    Ye Yuan looked at this pill formula and was immediately attracted.


    This was an extremely high difficulty rank seven divine pill. Inklings could be seen from the seven core ingredients.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan fell into hard thinking.


    So many Seven-star Alchemy Gods already discussed for as long as a month and only deduced one core ingredient. Clearly, gathering seven of them was not that easy.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, it also could not be deduced in a short while.


    As for rank seven spirit medicines, Ye Yuan had long already started researching.


    He had the Sacred Ancestor��s inheritance in his brain, rank seven spirit medicines were naturally nothing difficult.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s appearance, the group of Empyrean��s faces was full of disdain.


    Zheng Qiyuan had a fake smile as he said, ��Pretty good at putting up an appearance, it��s just that we don��t know how much capability you have! This is a level seven difficulty rank seven divine pill. I even suspect whether he can understand the pill formula or not!��


    Empyrean Purplewing also responded with a sneer, saying, ��This seat has already researched for more than a month and swapped out several hundred types of rank seven spirit medicines. But there was nothing gleaned. Even if he has some capability, he can forget about perceiving anything within half a month.��


    At this time, another Empyrean smiled and said, ��Even if he can really understand it, I��m afraid the suggestions he proposed, we��d have long already discussed them before. In my view, we��d best continue discussing, see what tricks he can come up with.��

 Chapter 2027 - Instantly Understood

    The current Ye Yuan already put his body and mind into the pill formula.


    These people��s discussion, he did not hear a single word of it.


    When Lumen saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.


    This focus level was also too terrifying, right?


    Was Ye Yuan pretending to be profound?


    Maybe not!


    This kind of focused expression could not be intentionally made.


    But he also knew that for Ye Yuan to want to digest this ancient formula, it would definitely need a very long time. So he said, ��Then �� Let��s continue discussing.��


    ��May I ask, Brother Lumen, what was the fifth kind of spirit medicine that everybody deduced?�� Just as everyone was planning on continuing to discuss, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.


    Empyrean Lumen was taken aback when he heard that and said, ��The fifth kind of spirit medicine was proposed by Brother Purplewing. He felt that it should be Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass. We��ve discussed for as long as half a month and unanimously feel that the fifth kind of spirit medicine is it!��


    Empyrean Purplewing said with a proud look, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan was full of provocation.


    However, Ye Yuan did not look at him at all but frowned and was lost in thought.


    Everyone looked at him with baffled faces, not knowing what this meant.


    ��Could it be that Grandmaster Ye has some views?�� Empyrean Lumen asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan suddenly shook his head and said, ��The fifth type of spirit medicine isn��t the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass.��


    The moment the voice landed, Empyrean Purplewing��s face turned black and he almost lost it.


    ��Humph! This lad is wildly arrogant! The result that we unanimously approved of, you want to overthrow it with one word? Brat, I��ve tolerated you for very long! Don��t put on an act if you don��t know!�� Empyrean Purplewing said in a thunderous rage.


    The others also secretly found it funny, watching the show by the side.


    Empyrean Purplewing finally could not hold back anymore.


    Zheng Qiyuan had a gloating expression on his face as he said disdainfully, ��In less than 15 minute��s time from start to end, you denied the result that we discussed for half a month? Brat, you��re very capable! Why don��t you say why the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass is wrong?��


    Even Empyrean Lumen also frowned slightly and said, ��Grandmaster Ye, the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill is a wind-attribute medicinal pill. Qing You Lian, Qingluo Yunzan, Flowing Cloud Daywind Fruit, and Redundant Spirit Flower; these four kinds of spirit medicines are all wind-attribute spirit medicines among rank seven spirit medicines. The one that is most compatible with them is none other than the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass. What is inappropriate?��


    Ye Yuan did not speak. His eyes glued on the pill formula on the light screen.


    The group of Empyreans sneered coldly without ceasing. They already confirmed that this kid was simply holding a position without qualifications.


    Furthermore, their tolerance already reached the limit.


    If you really had the ability, then it was naturally another matter altogether. But you were full of shit and still wanted to posture here, then it was your wrong.


    ��Heh heh, what a fine Grandmaster Ye. This is the in-depth discussion that you spoke of? Stop making a spectacle of yourself here. The world of Seven-star Alchemy Gods is what you��ll never be able to imagine!�� Zheng Qiyuan finally caught the chance and said with a cold smile.


    ��Young man, stop pretending to know when you don��t! It��s not that by holding a grandmaster token you��ll really be a grandmaster.��


    ��Ignorant! Kid, this place isn��t a place that you should come, hurry up and get lost!��


    ��


    The group of Empyrean already completely lost patience. Today��s trap already completely stripped Ye Yuan off.


    This guy was a complete and utter conman!


    The grandmaster token in his hands was simply a kind of insult.


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have heard their words. His eyes were still staring fixedly at the light screen.


    Zheng Qiyuan snorted coldly. Reaching his hand out to grab at Ye Yuan, he even said, ��Asked you to get lost, didn��t hear?��


    But his hands had not touched Ye Yuan yet, and suddenly Ye Yuan opened his mouth.


    ��It��s true that the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill is a wind-attribute medicinal pill. The other four types are also indeed wind-attribute spirit medicines. On the surface, it looks like the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass is indeed the most suitable fifth type of spirit medicine. But the composition style of this medicinal pill isn��t like this!�� Ye Yuan ruminated as he said this.


    ��Oh? Pray tell!�� Empyrean Lumen said with great interest.


    Zheng Qiyuan withdrew his hand resentfully. His expression was seemingly embarrassed.


    Ye Yuan continued explaining, ��When placed in a medicinal pill, an attribute can have thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of ways of expression. The former four types of spirit medicines looked to be disorderly and unsystematic, but actually, they abide by a kind of rule, that is the speed characteristic of wind-attribute. But the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass clearly doesn��t belong to this category ����


    Ye Yuan spoke with confidence and composure, making everyone��s faces become solemn.


    He analyzed the four types of spirit medicines in detail. The attributes that each type of spirit medicine contained as well as the pairing between spirit medicines, he spoke about it as if enumerating his family��s heritage.


    The expression on everyone��s faces went from the initial-most disdain, to shock, then to deep thought later.


    Unknowingly, they were already completely drawn in by the things Ye Yuan said as if they were students that were listening respectfully to their teacher.


    Empyrean Lumen was extremely shocked in his heart. He had never considered these things before.


    The thing that they discussed for more than a month was actually totally repudiated by Ye Yuan in 15 minutes!


    This bit of time was roughly just enough for Ye Yuan to skim through the ancient formula once.


    Could it be that �� Ye Yuan only swept one glance and already completely understood the pill formula?


    Instantly understood?


    This �� How horrifying did this kind of comprehension ability have to be!


    Could it be that this guy did not need to use his brain?


    The more Empyrean Lumen thought, the more terrified he felt.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao was much deeper than his, and it was already pointing straight at the source of Alchemy Dao.


    This kind of understanding was not what a high realm could accomplish.


    The understanding of the source of spirit medicines was not limited to realm but it could determine one��s realm.


    The height of Ye Yuan��s horizons made the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods perspire from embarrassment.


    Zheng Qiyuan��s expression became uglier and uglier. He did not think that Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao was actually so deep, even flinging him behind several streets.


    Just this one pill formula, Ye Yuan already analyzed until he deconstructed it entirely.


    There were quite a few areas where even he, this Seven-star Alchemy God, did not understand.


    Empyrean Lumen��s eyes became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, he smacked his thighs and cried out in surprise, ��So that��s how it is! So that��s how it is! Why didn��t I think of it? Grandmaster Ye, then in your view, what��s the fifth type of spirit medicine?��


    Ye Yuan��s string of words earlier gave him a feeling of being enlightened all of a sudden.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Haven��t thought of a suitable one for the time being. Give me some time.��


    Saying finish this sentence, Ye Yuan closed his eyes and fell into rumination.


    He only glanced at the pill formula once after all. He could understand the pill formula, but wanting to make up for the spirit medicines naturally could not be done in a short while.


    The other Empyreans naturally understood. Completing a pill formula was not something that could be accomplished in one go. Not only did it need to undergo precise deductions, it even had to go through numerous trials.


    Only when the medicinal pill was refined could it be considered a complete success.


    A short 15 minutes, forget about Ye Yuan, even if the Medicine Ancestor came, he could not do it either.


    But even so, it was also sufficient to astonish the group of Empyreans.


    Those Empyreans used an expression like they had seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan, not knowing what they should say.


    Was this guy really just a thousand over years old?


    Such profound understanding, even old monsters that had lived for millions of years could not match up too!

 Chapter 2028 - : A Wager

    The group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods all fell into rumination.


    Even Empyrean Purplewing was also recollecting the aftertaste of Ye Yuan��s words previously.


    Ye Yuan��s view was extremely profound, enlightening them greatly.


    The exchange of Alchemy Dao lay here.


    But the current Ye Yuan was already in mayhem inside his mind, unfolding a terrifying brainstorm.


    Just like that, the entire space fell into silence.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. The others were all stirred.


    ��Is there a result, Grandmaster Ye?�� Empyrean Lumen��s eyes lit up and he asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This Ye deduced and found that three proposals have the highest likelihood. As for which formula is the most suitable, we need to refine them before we can know for sure.��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with amazed faces, incredulity written all over their faces.


    They all, this bunch of Seven-star Alchemy Gods, researched for a month and only supplement one type of spirit medicine. Furthermore, it was even wrong.


    Just two days had passed and he came up with three proposals?


    Empyrean Lumen hurriedly said, ��Grandmaster Ye, please quickly say!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��There are many spirit medicines containing speed-attribute. But those able to conform to the four types of spirit medicines, there are only a few hundred types. After this Ye deduced, I finally confirmed these three proposals. The first, Xun Foliage, Deersoul Youngheart Fruit, and Thousand Maple Vine. The second, Fire Luan Grass, Windcry Grus, and Unity Heart Brilliant Fruit. The third, Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit, Crimsonwind Swordtooth Grass, and Illusory Glass Cardamom.��


    As Ye Yuan said, the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods immediately deduced rapidly in their heads.


    These were all major powers, whether or not the spirit medicines Ye Yuan said were somewhat interesting, they would be able to tell very soon.


    But Zheng Qiyuan gave a cold snort and said, ��Utter nonsense! Deersoul Youngheart Fruit is a wood-attribute spirit medicine, Fire Luan Grass is a fire-attribute spirit medicine, and the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit is a thunder-attribute spirit medicine. But you��re using them to be core ingredients. It��s simply matching a donkey��s head to a horse��s mouth.��


    Empyrean Purplewing snorted coldly and said, ��How can this kind of pairing possibly refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill? Kid, could it be that you were showing off to us earlier?��


    The other Empyreans also revealed doubtful looks. Clearly, they were very much in agreement with Zheng Qiyuan��s way of saying things.


    The favorable impression that was just established toward Ye Yuan immediately evaporated into thin air.


    These three kinds of situations that Ye Yuan talked about could not possibly refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill at all.


    Even Empyrean Lumen also had tightly locked brows, clearly very perplexed.


    At this time, Ye Yuan also felt a fire rose in his heart.


    Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger. This Zheng Qiyuan targeted him time and again; did he really take Ye Yuan to be a soft persimmon?


    It was only to see him look at Zheng Qiyuan with a smile that was not a smile, opening his mouth and saying, ��If the medicinal pill is refined using these three proposals, what will you do?��


    Zheng Qiyuan��s expression turned stiff and he said, ��That��s impossible!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Is that so? Shut your mouth up for me if you don��t have the guts. Nobody will take you to be a mute!��


    How could Zheng Qiyuan endure such provocation? He said in a cold voice, ��If it can��t be refined, what will you do?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If it can��t be refined, I��ll immediately hand over the grandmaster token, pack up my things and leave, never to refine a pill again in this lifetime! Don��t say that this Ye is bullying you. If you lose, your Zheng Family will withdraw from the Cloudpill Summit henceforth. Do you dare to bet or not?��


    Zheng Qiyuan��s face changed, clearly being frightened by Ye Yuan��s wager.


    The Zheng Family withdrawing from the Cloudpill Summit was equivalent to being isolated by the entire Southern Border alchemy world.


    This would be a tremendous blow to the Zheng Family.


    The others all looked at Zheng Qiyuan in great shock and discovered that he was squeezed until his complexion was livid.


    When Empyrean Lumen saw the situation, he hurriedly stepped forward to be a mediator, saying, ��Huhu, everyone is a man of the same occupation. Why is there a need to make this wager and hurt feelings?��


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly and said, ��Ever since this Ye came here, he, Zheng Qiyuan, has provoked me time and again. Really take this Ye to be easy to bully? Heh, really think that this Ye is young and ignorant? Those little bastards of your Zheng Family are unconvinced and went in front of you to lodge a complaint, saying that I��m not worthy of this position of grandmaster, saying that this Ye challenging you is conceited and arrogant. Therefore, that��s why you made things difficult in all respects. Isn��t that so?��


    Zheng Qiyuan��s complexion was incomparably ugly, full of embarrassment after being exposed.


    The other Empyreans were also very surprised, not expecting that there were actually still so many twists and turns in-between.


    No wonder Zheng Qiyuan was put off by Ye Yuan. It turned out that he felt that Ye Yuan swept away the Zheng Family��s face.


    Empyrean Purplewing��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold smile, ��Brother Zheng, messing around for half a day, you were using this Empyrean as an excuse huh!��


    Ever since taking part in this exchange meet, Zheng Qiyuan would always incite by the side, saying that Ye Yuan snatched away his position of grandmaster and so forth.


    Messing around for a long time, he was finding ground for himself and deliberately making things difficult for Ye Yuan!


    Zheng Qiyuan��s face changed slightly and he hurriedly explained: ��That �� That was merely children quarreling. I genuinely feel wronged for Brother Purplewing!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Whether it��s sincere or a pretense, it��s also fine. This pill formula can naturally explain everything. I just ask you, dare to bet or not?��


    One sentence forced Zheng Qiyuan to the corners of the wall.


    Zheng Qiyuan did not expect that a little brat was actually so astute, directly putting him on the opposite of all the Empyreans.


    At this time, he had no choice but to agree to it.


    Zheng Qiyuan gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, ��Bet away! Will this Empyrean be scared of you? This Empyrean doesn��t believe that with a different attribute you can still refine a wind-attribute medicinal pill!��


    Ye Yuan turned to Empyrean Lumen and said coolly, ��Brother Lumen, I��ll have to trouble you for this pill testing.��


    Previously, Ye Yuan did not bother with Zheng Qiyuan the entire time. Empyrean Lumen even thought that Ye Yuan did not want to offend Zheng Qiyuan. Who knew that he did a full display of his abilities and keen edge the moment he made his move.


    Ye Yuan was using his alchemy profession to wager with the Zheng Family!


    Did this kid really have so much confidence?


    Was he arrogant at heart and haughty in manner? Or did he really have a well-thought-out plan?


    As for to what extent Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao attainments were, everyone did not doubt it anymore.


    That bout of discussion previously was absolutely not what a layman could say.


    Just based on those, Ye Yuan had the qualifications to sit and debate Dao with them.


    But just as Zheng Qiyuan said, Ye Yuan��s chances of winning were very low.


    They were all alchemy big shots. They naturally understood the characteristics of spirit medicines. What Zheng Qiyuan said was not wrong.


    ��Sigh, really going to cause a scene to this extent? Forget it, forget it. Since that��s the case, let��s test the pill formulas then,�� Empyrean Lumen said helplessly.


    At this time, the two people were diametrically opposed and it was clearly unable to be resolved anymore. Urging anymore was also useless.


    This place was also a large-scale refining room.


    As for these rank seven spirit medicines that were normally hard to lay eyes on, they could naturally be gathered in the Cloudpill Summit.


    Before long, three sets of spirit medicines were placed in front of everyone,


    The first one gathered Xun Foliage, Deersoul Youngheart Fruit, and Thousand Maple Vine. after Empyrean Lumen prepared for a while, he started refining the pill.


    Ye Yuan��s mind was very focused, fully on Empyrean Lumen��s pill refinement, as if the wager did not have the slightest thing to do with him.


    Empyrean Lumen was indeed worthy of being a grandmaster of his generation. His alchemy strength astounded all around. Even Ye Yuan also had a rare feeling of admiration.


    Only this realm of powerhouse had the qualifications to debate on Dao with him!


    But, after four hours, a puff suddenly came from inside the medicinal cauldron.


    Failed!

 Chapter 2029 - As You Wish!

    ��Hahaha! I said it, right? This kind of combination, it��s totally impossible to refine the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill!��


    Seeing Empyrean Lumen failed, Zheng Qiyuan immediately had an ecstatic look.


    It was just that there was no one who concurred with him at all.


    The laughter gradually stopped, Zheng Qiyuan had an embarrassed look and could only laugh dryly twice and brush it off.


    Except, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became even more baleful.


    If not for this brat, he also would not be isolated by everyone.


    Empyrean Lumen looked toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Grandmaster Ye, when this Empyrean was refining just now, there was always a wood-attribute energy messing things up inside. The medicinal pill wasn��t able to condense at all. This method �� doesn��t work!��


    The others all looked at Ye Yuan, revealing worried looks.


    Once he failed, Ye Yuan would not be able to refine pills anymore in this life.


    To an alchemist, this was simply worse than even killing him.


    Especially that Ye Yuan��s attainments in alchemy were even so high.


    However, Ye Yuan seemed to be completely fine. He just said coolly, ��Since it doesn��t work, change to the second kind then.��


    Empyrean Lumen nodded his head and started refining the pill according to the second proposal.


    Ye Yuan watched with a calm expression, but his views on Empyrean Lumen gradually changed.


    Looks like he misunderstood him.


    Empyrean Lumen was clearly different from the rest. Calling him over was not in order to embarrass him, but purely wanting to see his strength.


    About this point, Ye Yuan could see from his attitude in refining pills.


    With Ye Yuan��s eyesight, even if Empyrean Lumen did any cheating actions, how could it escape his eyes?


    However, the first proposal��s failure was clearly a problem of the spirit medicines�� combination and not Empyrean Lumen��s lack of effort.


    Time slowly trickled by, fine beads of sweat also seeped out on Empyrean Lumen��s forehead.


    His control of the medicinal cauldron fell shorter and shorter of his wishes.


    Finally, there was another puff. It failed again!


    All of the Empyreans�� faces changed slightly. This was the second failure. It also represented that Ye Yuan did not have a way out anymore.


    ��Heh, Brother Lumen, this time, it should be the fire-attribute power causing trouble, right? Next, it should be the thunder-attribute��s turn! This kind of low-level mistake, any alchemist wouldn��t make it. He actually pledged in all solemnity, saying that it will definitely succeed. Truly ignorant! In my view, he��s completely clueless about alchemy and is simply a pretty vase! That speech previously was likely taught to him by Brother Flutterfeather.��


    Two failures made Zheng Qiyuan��s confidence soar. He was more and more certain that his thinking was correct.


    As it should be, pure wind-attribute spirit medicines mixing in other attributes, how to integrate?


    Empyrean Purplewing��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Grandmaster Ye, why not �� forget about it? As long as you open your mouth, this Empyrean and Brother Flutterfeather will speak up to bail you out. Absolutely no one will dare to do anything to you!��


    Hearing this, Zheng Qiyuan��s face could not help changing.


    ��Brother Purplewing, are you oppressing people by force?�� Zheng Qiyuan said in a solemn voice.


    Empyrean Purplewing said coolly, ��So what if yes?��


    ��You!�� Zheng Qiyuan could not help choking.


    In this land of Southern Border, Empyrean Purplewing was still alright, but Empyrean Flutterfeather��s status was too revered.


    His Zheng Family was at the very most a third-rate holy land, being far worse than even Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    Now, seeing as Ye Yuan was about to lose, Empyrean Purplewing actually took Ye Yuan��s side. Could it be that he did not mind Ye Yuan snatching his grandmaster token?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Brother Purplewing��s good intentions, this Ye appreciates it. However, this Ye am a man of my word and naturally won��t renege. Isn��t there still another formula? The victor hasn��t been decided!��


    Hearing this, the group of Empyreans could not help secretly shaking their heads.


    Still young in the end!


    Ruining his brilliant future to show off momentary bravery, was there a need?


    Moreover, there was still Empyrean Flutterfeather and Empyrean Purplewing, this level of big shots vouching for him.


    But Zheng Qiyuan was overjoyed in his heart. But he had a sneer on his face as he said, ��Brat, stop saying it with such dignified airs. Aren��t you relying on the fact that you have Brother Flutterfeather backing you up? So you��re emboldened by support?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, ��Don��t you just want to goad me into swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath? As you wish!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swore a Heavenly Dao Oath in front of everybody.


    Everyone stared dumbfoundedly with agape mouths!


    This �� This little fellow was also too capricious, right?


    At this point, Ye Yuan��s chance of winning was already extremely small, he actually swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    With this, even if Empyrean Flutterfeather��s means were immensely formidable, there was also no way out.


    ��Now, it��s your turn,�� Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Qiyuan and said coolly.


    Zheng Qiyuan chuckled and said, ��This wager, you will lose for sure. So what if this Empyrean swears a Heavenly Dao Oath?��


    Finished talking, Zheng Qiyuan also swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    Empyrean Purplewing shook his head with a pitying look.


    This Ye Yuan was a member of the Myriad Treasure Tower no matter what, but being rendered unable to refine pills because of this kind of dispute caused by personal feelings, it was too regrettable.


    ��Brother Lumen, begin then!�� Zheng Qiyuan had a smile all over his face as he looked at Empyrean Lumen and said.


    Empyrean Lumen sighed slightly and started the third refinement.


    Time slowly trickled by, it was very calm the whole time inside the medicinal cauldron, currently advancing according to routine.


    After more than two hours, the medicinal cauldron suddenly started vibrating. The moment Zheng Qiyuan saw this, the excitement on his face could not be concealed anymore, saying with pleasant surprise, ��Hahaha! Indeed it couldn��t hold out anymore! Like I said, how can thunder-attribute possibly integrate into a wind-attribute medicinal pill?��


    The faces of the group of Empyrean changed, revealing looks of pity.


    This time, Ye Yuan really suffered a crushing defeat!


    Empyrean Purplewing let out a sigh, his gaze looking over toward Ye Yuan. But he discovered that Ye Yuan had a calm expression, and was actually not worried at all.


    Could it be that this kid was really a layman, so he did not care that he could not refine pills?


    But that shouldn��t be so!


    In a blink, a hundred breaths passed, the medicinal cauldron was still quaking.


    Another 15 minutes passed, the medicinal cauldron was still vibrating.


    Two hours passed, the medicinal cauldron was still shaking.


    But the medicinal pill still did not become a failed product!


    Zheng Qiyuan was long already incomparably anxious. He was shouting madly in his heart, hoping that the medicinal pill would become invalid.


    But, the pill refinement was still progressing systematically.


    Suddenly, the medicinal cauldron shook. Zheng Qiyuan did not have time to rejoice yet when the vibration completely subsided.


    Zheng Qiyuan��s face immediately fell.


    ��This �� How is this possible? It��s actually not a failure!��


    ��Could it be that this third proposal can really succeed?��


    ��Too magical! Currently this sort of situation, it looks like the thunder-attribute has already completely calmed down and should be integrated into the medicinal pill!��


    ��


    A series of exclamations came from all around.


    This situation was what all of them did not anticipate from start to end.


    Thunder-attribute was the most violent and also the hardest to fuse. Who knew that after the medicinal cauldron vibrated for more than two hours, it actually fused successfully!


    Right at this time, Empyrean Lumen��s face revealed a hint of excitement as he cried out, ��Condense!��


    The light faded away, everything returned to tranquility.


    Everyone knew that the pill formed!


    ��This �� How is this possible? How �� How did he do it? How can thunder-attribute possibly be integrated into a wind-attribute medicinal pill?��


    Zheng Qiyuan��s legs swayed. He actually could not quite stand firm.


    Everything that happened before his eyes, he found it hard to believe.


    Victory was clearly within grasp, but in the end, it was an overwhelming defeat!

 Chapter 2030 - The Truth Is More Terrifying Than the Rumors

    Everyone��s astonishment was not only expressed in words but also on their face!


    Compared to wood-attribute and fire-attribute, thunder-attribute was more explosive and restless. But why did it fuse successfully in the end?


    This was Zheng Qiyuan��s doubt and also the question in everyone��s hearts.


    The group of Empyreans all used shocked and questioning gazes to look toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Grandmaster Ye, it really succeeded! It actually really succeeded! This Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill, this Empyrean has researched for several hundred years but had no gains. You actually completed the pill formula within a short two days! Truly god-like!��


    Empyrean Lumen looked at Ye Yuan with an agitated face, full of disbelief.


    Before this, he was the same as the others, also doubting whether or not Ye Yuan had the qualifications to sit here and debate on Dao with them.


    It was just that he understood Empyrean Flutterfeather very well and felt that Empyrean Flutterfeather should not mess around like this.


    Therefore, he chose to believe.


    But he did not expect that this mere Six-star Alchemy God was actually so monstrous, to actually complete the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill��s pill formula in such a short time.


    Just based on this, Ye Yuan��s understanding of alchemy already surpassed all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods present!


    Ye Yuan smiled, looked toward Zheng Qiyuan, and said, ��Brother Zhen, wonder if this Ye has the qualifications to stand here and debate on Dao with everyone now? Wonder if this Ye has the qualifications or not to turn my nose up toward the provocations of your juniors? Wonder if this Ye has the qualifications to hold this grandmaster token or not?��


    A series of three questions was like one heavy hammer after another, knocking onto Zheng Qiyuan��s heart.


    Of course, the other Empyreans were actually similarly undergoing grilling in their hearts.


    Prior to this, none of them believed Ye Yuan.


    But now, Ye Yuan used his strength and gave every one of them a beautiful slap.


    Zheng Qiyuan��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He was not able to answer Ye Yuan��s questioning.


    Qualified or not?


    Of course qualified!


    This unfathomable ancient formula, Ye Yuan only used a short two days�� time and completed it.


    Could Zheng Qiyuan do it?


    Forget about him, even if they all, these dozen over Seven-star Alchemy Gods, added together, discussing in detail for more than a month, they only came up with a wrong spirit medicine.


    ��I �� I��m not convinced! How can thunder-attribute possibly fuse into a wind-attribute medicinal pill? What effect can it have inside?�� Zheng Qiyuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan responded with a sneer as he said, ��The properties of spirit medicines have never existed alone. It��s true that the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit is a thunder-attribute spirit medicine, but it likewise contains considerable wind-attribute laws; just nice fitting together with the Seven Treasure Cloud Wind Pill��s other spirit medicines! As for why it��s the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit, it��s very simple. It��s because among these supplementary medicines, there are more than a dozen spirit medicines that exist for the sake of balancing out the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit��s thunder-attribute as well as other attributes! Do you understand now?��


    Zheng Qiyuan��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    This guy actually understood the attributes of spirit medicines so deeply.


    Spirit medicines did not have a solitary attribute, this was the general knowledge of an alchemy god.


    But what properties did a spirit medicine have? This required an extremely profound understanding of the medicinal properties of spirit medicines.


    Furthermore, although spirit medicines did not have solitary properties, inside pill formulas, the vast majority sorted them according to their strongest attributes.


    But the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit actually utilized its subsidiary property. This kind of situation was extremely seldom-seen. It was totally impossible for anyone to have thought of it.


    But Ye Yuan actually picked the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit out of tens of millions of spirit medicines within two days. What kind of terrifying deducing ability was this?!


    The people who knew about the Thundercloud Immortal Condensing Fruit��s wind-attribute were exceedingly few to begin with. Those able to think of using it were even fewer.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan dumbfoundedly with their mouths open. They discovered that Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength far exceeded their imagination.


    Eliminating the Element Heart Illusionary Love Grass previously only made everyone view him in a different light.


    But now, the gazes when the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods looked at Ye Yuan with were already filled with admiration!


    Empyrean Purplewing��s eyes shined, and he suddenly sighed gloomily and said, ��No wonder Brother Flutterfeather gave the grandmaster token to you. Now, this Empyrean is sincerely convinced!��


    Empyrean Lumen also sighed with admiration and said, ��I didn��t expect to be able to encounter a figure like Grandmaster Ye in this Cloudpill Summit, Lumen has the good fortune of three lifetimes!��


    Although Ye Yuan was not able to refine rank seven divine pills, his understanding of alchemy already towered above all of the Empyreans.


    How could these Seven-star Alchemy Gods not express admiration?


    Alchemy was different from martial arts. In martial arts, powerful strength was powerful strength. Even for a monstrous existence like Ye Yuan, it was also impossible to heaven-defyingly defeat Empyrean powerhouses.


    But in alchemy, as long as your understanding of alchemy reached a certain realm, even Seven-star Alchemy Gods also had to candidly admit defeat.


    It was just that this kind of person was far too few, few to the point where everyone overlooked it.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance today shattered all of their understanding.


    These Empyreans did not know that Ye Yuan��s ability was even more than what he had shown. Creating a pill formula was something he had done before.


    Hence, completing pill formula this sort of thing was naturally nothing difficult for Ye Yuan.


    ��


    The Zheng Family announced permanent withdrawal from the Cloudpill Summit. This matter immediately shook the entire city.


    The Zheng Family was a major alchemy ancient family that had tremendous influence in the Southern Border alchemy world. They actually withdrew just like that.


    The Cloudpill Summit was the entire Southern Border��s alchemy grand event. Withdrawing out of the Cloudpill Summit was equivalent to being isolated by the Southern Border��s alchemy world.


    Why would the Zheng Family��s ancestor do this kind of foolish action?


    ��Zheng Buqun��s strength is sufficient to rank in the top ten in this session��s Cloudpill Summit. Withdrawing just like this is too bad.��


    ��Heh, do you guys know? I heard that the Zheng Family withdrawing is because the Zheng Family��s ancestor lost a bet and had no choice but to withdraw.��


    ��Oh? Who has such great capabilities, to actually make the entire Zheng Family withdraw from the Cloudpill Summit permanently?��


    ��Who else can it be? Of course it��s that True God Realm Grandmaster Ye! I heard that this Grandmaster Ye completed an ancient formula, overpowering a group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods. The Zheng Family��s ancestor did not believe that Grandmaster Ye could complete the pill formula. Under this bet, he lost!��


    ��What?! This Grandmaster Ye is really so impressive? Overpowering a bunch of Seven-star Alchemy Gods? My God!��


    ��


    In the city, all sorts of discussions sounded out.


    There were no walls without any cracks in the world. The matter that happened in Qiandan Pavilion still spread out in the end, immediately causing a commotion in the entire city.


    However, the vast majority of people did not really believe. After all, this sort of thing was too fantastical.


    A Six-star Alchemy God actually crushed a bunch of Seven-star Alchemy Gods. Spreading this sort of thing, who would believe it?


    Others did not believe it, but titanic waves stirred in Yun Yi��s heart.


    The main culprit of this idea was him. Whether or not it was the Zheng Family ancestor��s provocation, he was naturally perfectly clear.


    He never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually had such great ability, directly making the entire Zheng Family withdraw from the alchemy stage of the Southern Border!


    The youth surnamed Duan asked with an ugly look, ��Brother Yun Yi, when Zheng Buqun left, he didn��t even have time to notify us. I say, was this matter really done by that Ye Yuan?��


    Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��The rumors in the outside world sound fantastical. But �� the truth is more terrifying than the rumors!��

 Chapter 2031 - The Summit Starts

    Among Qiandan Pavilion��s dozen over Empyreans, there was Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s Seven-star Alchemy God.


    Yun Yi went to ask that Empyrean after the incident. The result made him unbelievably surprised.


    Something that more than ten Empyreans could not accomplish, Ye Yuan only used less than two days and resolved it.


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan crushed more than ten Empyrean powerhouses, Seven-star Alchemy Gods!


    This kind of strength could simply use horrifying to describe.


    Even at Empyrean Pilljade here, he also did not dare say that he could firmly suppress so many Empyreans.


    Did this title of grandmaster still need to be doubted?


    ��The truth is more terrifying than the rumors? Then �� Then what kind of situation is it?�� The youth surnamed Duan stammered.


    Just looking at these rumors currently, Ye Yuan��s monstrousness was already shocking enough.


    A result that was more terrifying than the rumors, to what degree of freakishness did Ye Yuan have to be!


    Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��Don��t ask anymore. The Cloudpill Summit is about to begin, you��ll know very soon.��


    Done talking, Yun Yi waved his hand with somewhat waned interest and took his leave.


    Over these 3000 years, Yun Yi thought that he was overwhelmingly talented, standing at the apex of the Southern Border.


    But it was not until he heard of Ye Yuan��s monstrousness that he suddenly discovered that his pride was not worth mentioning at all.


    He was more than twice as old as Ye Yuan, but he was already standing at a height that was hard for him to reach in this lifetime.


    The blow that this kind of reality dealt to him was too strong.


    The most terrifying isn��t that you are stronger than me, but that no matter how hard I work, I also can��t catch up to your footsteps.


    How much time did he, Yun Yi, needed to sit and debate on Dao with a group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods?


    10 thousand years?


    50 thousand years?


    Or 100 thousand years?


    He, Ye Yuan, only used less than 1500 years!


    Even if he only used ten thousand years, how powerful would the Ye Yuan then be?


    This sense of setback simply could not be described using words.


    ��


    ��Grandpas, could it be that �� we��re giving up just like that? Withdrawing from the Cloudpill Summit, our Zheng Family will definitely suffer a great loss in strength!��


    On the way back, Zheng Buqun gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    He never would have thought that that unremarkable young man actually really defeated his ancestor, making the Zheng Family fall into a situation of eternal damnation.


    Zheng Qiyuan smiled coldly and said, ��Giving up? How can it be possible! That brat��s deducing ability is indeed very strong, but I don��t believe that his pill refining ability is also as strong as his deducing ability! Grandpa has mucked around in the Cloudpill Summit for so many years, so how can my connections be what a little brat can compare to? This time, I want him to reveal his true colors!��


    Zheng Buqun��s eyes lit up and he said in pleasant surprise, ��Grandpa has a contingency plan?��


    Zheng Qiyuan smiled and said, ��Of course, what the path of alchemy relies on isn��t words, but thoroughly honed strength! He is only a brat who��s merely a thousand over years old. Could it be that he can compete with Seven-star Alchemy Gods that have refined pills countless times? When at the Peak Alchemy Meet, I��ll see what he has to be arrogant about!��


    Zheng Buqun was overjoyed when he heard that. Ye Yuan indeed still would not have a good outcome.


    Who did not know how to engage in an empty talk?


    But alchemy never had shortcuts. Your comprehension ability could be very high, deducing could be very impressive, but when it came down to genuine pill refinement, only experiencing thoroughly tempering, could one have accomplishments.


    Which one of them, these Seven-star Alchemy Gods, was not an old monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years?


    The medicinal pills that they had refined before were sufficient to pile up to form a mountain!


    How could a mere Ye Yuan possibly be a match?


    ��


    Amidst the series of exclamations, the curtains of the Cloudpill Summit were finally drawn.


    On this day, alchemy powerhouses gathered in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    Several tens of thousands of alchemists gathered together in the plaza!


    These tens of thousands of alchemists were all the elites among elites of the Southern Border��s alchemy world.


    Up on the high platform, a hundred Empyrean powerhouses sat up straight, imposing aura awing all those present.


    This kind of grand line-up could only be seen at the Cloudpill Summit, this kind of grand occasion.


    These 100 Empyrean powerhouses were all leviathans of a region, being peak Alchemy Gods.


    But at this time, these Seven-star Alchemy Gods could only sit below.


    On the highest part of the platform, there were still 14 seats left vacant.


    Everyone knew that these 14 seats represented the highest standard of the Southern Border��s alchemy world!


    Each one was a grandmaster-class alchemy powerhouse!


    Suddenly, a powerful aura came out of the void.


    A middle-aged man dressed in loose white robes slowly walked out, akin to a god.


    Empyrean Pilljade, peak Seven-star Alchemy God, Ninth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse.


    Under Heavenly Emperor, Pilljade was revered as supreme!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s gaze swept, majesty birthing on its own.


    ��Today, the Cloudpill Summit begins. Pilljade thanks everyone for honoring with a visit! This Empyrean knows that many people came to take part in the Cloudpill Summit aiming for the 13 grandmasters. Now, this Empyrean will invite the 13 grandmaster powerhouses who have arrived! Heavenly Soul Great Imperial Capital, Empyrean Blazing Sun!��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s voice had just faded when a fire-like man stepped out of the void. Nodding his head slightly to everyone, he walked towards his seat.


    ��Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital, Empyrean Flutterfeather!��


    The Empyrean Flutterfeather dressed in azure loose robes walked out with a slight smile and clasped his hands slightly, then walked toward his own seat.


    ��Cloud Tremor Great Imperial Capital, Empyrean Luoshui!��


    ��


    Empyrean Pilljade introduced one by one. The former few were all the masters of the six great peak holy lands. Each one was an apex existence of the Southern Border.


    After these six Empyreans came onto the stage, they each sat on the two flanks of the empty middle seat.


    The middle-most seat belonged to Empyrean Pilljade.


    After the six sovereigns took the stage, Empyrean Pilljade continued introducing.


    ��Empyrean Lumen, Zhuge Ancient Family��s alchemy authority!��


    ��Empyrean Qianyu, from the Northday��s Lu Family!��


    ��


    Six Empyrean powerhouses were finished introducing. Suddenly, the air seemed to have solidified, the entire plaza was dead silent.


    Everyone knew that this final grandmaster was this Cloudpill Summit��s main attraction.


    The Cloudpill Summit had not even started yet and this grandmaster who did not even reach Empyrean already chased the Zheng Family out of the Cloudpill Summit forever.


    More importantly, he was the only alchemist who became a grandmaster at Six-star Alchemy God in the history of the Cloudpill Summit!


    Even Empyrean Pilljade also paused slightly before slowly opened his mouth and said, ��The last one, an extraordinary talent, invited by Empyrean Flutterfeather at a thousand over years of age, becoming this Cloudpill Summit��s grandmaster! Ye Yuan, from Southridge��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City!��


    Empyrean Pilljade finished introducing, Ye Yuan��s figure slowly stepped out of the void.


    Everyone��s gazes all gathered on that ridiculously young grandmaster.


    ��Southridge��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City? What is that place? Never heard of it before!��


    ��This kind of small place could actually produce a grandmaster?��


    ��This Ye Yuan really has the ability to hold the position of grandmaster? Although the Zheng Family withdrew from the Cloudpill Summit, I heard that they lost a bet. Just how much strength this Ye Yuan has, nobody knows either!��


    ��It��s a pity that we can��t challenge grandmasters. Otherwise, testing a bit and we��ll know.��


    ��


    Although there had long already been Ye Yuan��s legends in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, when they really saw Ye Yuan, everyone still could not resist sucking in a cold breath.


    Too young!


    This age should be standing below and taking part in the alchemy battles together with them.


    But now, he sat on the grandmaster seat.


    ��Brother Pilljade, letting a little child whose hair isn��t even fully grown sit on a grandmaster seat, where will the faces of us, these 100 Seven-star Alchemy Gods, go?��


    Ye Yuan had not taken his seat yet when a voice dripping with sarcasm sounded out.

 Chapter 2032 - : Battling a Group of Heroes

    A good show was starting!


    In the plaza, everyone��s gazes were gathered on Ye Yuan.


    ��It��s Empyrean Wenlan! His alchemy strength is also a top five existence among the group of Empyreans. Making him accept his position under Ye Yuan, he��s likely unwilling to submit!��


    ��I didn��t expect it! The curtains of the Cloudpill Summit has just drawn and gunpowder smell came out!��


    ��I heard that Empyrean Wenlan and the Zheng Family��s ancestor are best friends. This is coming to uphold justice for him!��


    ��


    Empyrean Wenlan who spoke was ranked fifth among the Empyrean seats.


    This was also to say that below grandmaster, he was ranked fifth!


    This kind of strength was also not at all inferior compared to grandmasters.


    The moment he opened his mouth, those Empyreans all looked at Ye Yuan with looks of amusement, wanting to see how he faced the crisis in front of him.


    Those present could be said to be the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world.


    If Ye Yuan revealed his true colors in front of so many people, he would probably have no face to meet people in the future.


    At this time, another person opened his mouth and said, ��What Brother Wenlan said is right. Even a mere True God Realm is riding on top of our heads. What face do we, these old fellows, still have to meet our children and grandchildren when we go back?��


    The moment this Empyrean opened his mouth, someone immediately cried out in surprise, ��It��s Empyrean Daogan, the rank eight big shot! There��s a good show to watch now!��


    No one would have thought that these Empyreans would directly launch an attack in the opening address.


    Furthermore, observant and conscientious people also saw through that when Empyrean Pilljade was introducing Ye Yuan, it was clearly different from the rest.


    He only said that Ye Yuan was a genius that Empyrean Flutterfeather invited. This cut himself away cleanly.


    It was Empyrean Flutterfeather making fun of everyone, nothing to do with Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital. Empyrean Pilljade implied this meaning.


    Right at this time, the rank three old man on the Empyrean seats also slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Ignorant brat, what capability do you have to dare sit on the grandmaster seat? Brother Flutterfeather, are you joking with the Southern Border��s alchemy world?��


    ��Hiss!��


    The sounds of cold air being sucked in came from below.


    ��Rank three Empyrean Remotenight, rank fifth Empyrean Wenlan, rank eighth Empyrean Daogan. My God, Ye Yuan is in trouble now!��


    The Cloudpill Summit had just started. Ye Yuan had yet to take his seat and three great Empyreans already directly put him on the spot.


    By the side, Empyrean Pilljade had his head lowered, looking straight down, as if all this had nothing to do with him.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather did not seem to mind and said with a faint smile, ��Why does Brother Remotenight say so? Since this Empyrean gave the grandmaster token to Ye Yuan, I naturally acknowledge his strength.��


    Empyrean Remotenight smiled coldly and said, ��A mere thousand over years old snotty brat, what strength can he have? I heard before that he completed one of Brother Lumen��s ancient formulas. It��s just �� can this prove his strength? I also heard that he didn��t even dare to accept the challenge of a group of juniors. How can such a person sit on a grandmaster seat?��


    Empyrean Wenlan said coolly, ��Want to seat on that position of grandmaster, one naturally has to bring out the corresponding strength. Looking at his age, being able to refine rank five divine pills is already considered pretty good.��


    An Empyrean said with a loud laugh, ��Hey, kid, do you dare to accept this Empyrean��s challenge? If you don��t dare, hurry up and get down! The seat of a grandmaster isn��t so easy to sit!��


    ��Yeah, if even we can��t win, what qualifications do you have to sit on a grandmaster seat?��


    With three great Empyreans taking the lead, it immediately made many Seven-star Alchemy Gods join in.


    Although Empyrean Lumen already spread the news of the exchange meet, Ye Yuan did not take action after all.


    Wanting to make these Seven-star Alchemy Gods completely accept a True God Realm, this was virtually something impossible.


    At this time, Empyrean Pilljade suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Grandmaster Ye, looks like everyone has some doubts about your strength, why don��t �� you display a little?��


    Empyrean Pilljade instructing, everyone��s gazes collectively gathered on Ye Yuan once more.


    Quite a few people revealed amused expressions, all waiting to see Ye Yuan make a spectacle of himself.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, how would Ye Yuan respond?


    From appearing on the stage until now, Ye Yuan was silent and did not speak all along.


    Currently, Empyrean Pilljade asking questions, Ye Yuan��s two eyes suddenly narrowed, sweeping over the faces of the group of Empyreans.


    ��You, you, also you, just now, you said that you want to challenge me?�� Ye Yuan casually pointed at a few people, they were all Empyrean powerhouses who hooted at Ye Yuan the loudest.


    ��Haha, it��s this Empyrean! Why? Is Grandmaster Ye going to accept this Empyrean��s challenge?�� One of the Empyreans said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said coolly, ��Who else is there? Since everyone is doubting this Ye��s strength, fine. I��ll give you all a chance! Any of you who wants to challenge me, this Ye will accept it all! If this Ye loses a match, I��ll hand over the grandmaster token and withdraw from this Cloudpill Summit!��


    One sentence stunned everyone.


    ��What a domineering declaration! He wants to challenge all the Seven-star Alchemy Gods below grandmaster with his power alone!��


    ��Heh heh, domineering also have to have the strength to be domineering! Forget about those at the bottom, those Empyreans ranked near the top, their strengths are virtually not weaker than the invited grandmasters. How much ability does he have, to dare challenge all of the Empyreans?��


    ��


    A hundred Seven-star Alchemy Gods, their strength was naturally not uniform either.


    The weak ones only had the strength of initial-stage Seven-star, initial-stage Dao Realm.


    The strong ones were the likes of Empyrean Remotenight and his ilk, alchemy strength virtually not inferior to grandmaster powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan, a puny little Six-star Alchemy God, these words were also too arrogant, right?


    ��Hahaha, truly unbridled on the account of your young age! When did our Southern Border��s alchemy world produce such an arrogant junior? Do you know that those seated here today are all the leading authority figures of the Southern Border��s alchemy world? You actually dare to challenge everyone?�� Empyrean Remotenight could not help laughing out loud when he heard that.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Since this Ye is sitting in this grandmaster seat, if I can��t even win you guys, what qualifications do I have to sit here still?��


    Empyrean Remotenight��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��What a conceited brat! This alchemy battle, this Empyrean accepts it! This Empyrean wants to see whether or not you��re really a heaven-defying talent!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes did not even blink as he said coolly, ��Okay, this Ye accepts! Who else is there?��


    ��Me!��


    ��This Empyrean will also challenge you!��


    ��Humph! Arrogant punk, this Empyrean will let you know that the majesty of Seven-star Alchemy Gods cannot be provoked!��


    ��


    How could the group of Empyreans stand Ye Yuan being so arrogant? Each and every one of them stepped forward and challenged Ye Yuan one after another.


    On the second Empyrean seat, Empyrean Purplewing��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Empyrean Flutterfeather, ��Brother Flutterfeather, this �� is likely not proper, right?��


    But Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled faintly and said, ��Relax, Ye Yuan has his sense of propriety.��


    Empyrean Purplewing could not help choking when he heard that. Flutterfeather��s confidence in Ye Yuan was also a little too high, right?


    In just a short while, there were 50 over Empyreans challenging Ye Yuan. Their rankings went from the third place Remotenight to the 100th.


    Empyrean powerhouses capable of sitting on the platform were at least Dao Realm powerhouses too.


    Those second-rate Seven-star Alchemy Gods, the Cloudpill Summit would not invite at all.


    Therefore, even those Empyreans�� rankings were toward the back, their strength could not be underestimated.


    Right at this time, a thin and emaciated old man beside Empyrean Purplewing opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, ��Why don��t you count this old man in as well?��

 Chapter 2033 - You’re too weak!

    ��It��s Empyrean Chaoyuan! My God, his strength is absolutely grandmaster-level. He actually took action as well!��


    ��Empyrean Chaoyuan has always been a maverick, so no holy land��s master invited him to hold the post of grandmaster. But his strength isn��t at all inferior to the grandmasters that were invited!��


    ��Ye Yuan bit off more than he could chew with this. With everyone at Cloudpill Summit taking action, he likely can��t take part in this Cloudpill Summit anymore!��


    ��


    The moment the old man opened his mouth, there was immediately a series of exclamations below.


    Those watching the show gloated over others�� misfortune even more.


    Even Empyrean Flutterfeather��s pupils also constricted, looking at Empyrean Chaoyuan in surprise, clearly not expecting that he would make a move.


    The strength of grandmasters was also not at the same level.


    As the Southern Border��s Alchemy Dao��s number one person, Empyrean Pilljade was an Ancestor Realm peerless powerhouse.


    And he was also the one and only Ancestor Realm powerhouse present.


    As for the other six holy land��s heads, there were grand completion Dao Realm and also late-stage Dao Realm.


    As for the grandmasters who were invited, their strength was a notch weaker.


    And the top five ranking powerhouses on the Empyrean seats, their strength was actually not much weaker compared to grandmasters.


    Empyrean Purplewing was the representative of a typical example!


    He had always taken on the position of grandmaster prior to this Cloudpill Summit.


    But even so, he was only ranked second. If so, then Empyrean Chaoyuan who was ranked first place, his strength could be imagined.


    With Empyrean Chaoyuan taking on the seat of grandmaster, there absolutely would not be anyone who would object!


    From everyone��s reaction, Ye Yuan also saw through that this Empyrean Chaoyuan was not simple.


    But, what did he, Ye Yuan, have to fear?


    There had never been anyone capable of making him lower his head before in alchemy.


    There was not in the past, now, it was also impossible to have!


    ��Okay, I accept it!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan nodded his head and said coolly, ��Seeing a thousand years old grandmaster, this old man is just curious and momentarily itching to have a go, and wants to spar.��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Brother Chaoyuan, please give pointers.��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan chuckled and said, ��I dare not say give pointers. I hope that you don��t disappoint this Empyrean.��


    He could tell that this Empyrean Chaoyuan did not deliberately make things difficult for him, he just purely wanted to spar.


    This kind of mentality was like when Ye Yuan encountered Empyrean Flutterfeather back then, also finding ways and means to have a contest with him.


    At this time, Empyrean Pilljade smiled slightly and said, ��Since that��s the case, then this Cloudpill Summit will open with this grandmaster challenge first.��


    The final tally was that there were a total of 63 Empyreans challenging Ye Yuan, more than half of the total.


    When the audience below heard this figure, each and every one of them sucked in a cold breath.


    With so many Seven-star Alchemy Gods challenging a Six-star Alchemy God, this was absolutely a rare spectacle of the entire Heavenspan World.


    On the plaza, a ring was constructed.


    Everyone��s gazes all gathered on that young profile in the ring.


    A middle-aged Empyrean leaped up, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of contempt.


    ��Kid, this isn��t a place for you, your seat is there!�� This Empyrean pointed at the crowd below and said coolly, ��Why don��t you admit defeat now and go back there? I think that everybody won��t make things difficult for you on the account of Brother Flutterfeather��s face.��


    Hoots of laughter came from all around, clearly quite approving of his words.


    ��What Empyrean Longyi said is right. This is a joke, wasting everyone��s time!��


    ��Empyrean Longyi is a middle-stage Dao Realm alchemy master, immersing in alchemy for hundreds of thousands of years. Dealing with a Six-star Alchemy God is too effortless.��


    ��Six-star Alchemy God versus Seven-star Alchemy God, I��ve never heard before of anyone who could win.��


    ��


    Although Ye Yuan pledged in all solemnity, saying to challenge all of the Empyreans, there were scanty few who truly felt that he had this strength.


    Four-star Alchemy God challenging Five-star Alchemy God, everyone marveled with admiration, praising them as a genius. After all, of the genius alchemists present, many people could do it.


    Five-star Alchemy God challenging a Six-star Alchemy God, everyone would feel very surprised. This was already a genius among geniuses.


    Hence, when Ning Siyu overpowered the group of geniuses back then, everyone felt incredibly astonished.


    But, a Six-star Alchemy God challenging a Seven-star Alchemy God, this was simply rubbish.


    Seven-star Alchemy Gods had mostly immersed in alchemy for hundreds of thousands of years, the terror of their strength simply could not be imagined.


    A brat who only cultivated for a thousand plus years, what right did he have to challenge Seven-star Alchemy Gods?


    However, outside of everyone��s expectations, Ye Yuan looked at the Empyrean Longyi in front of him and said coolly, ��You��re too weak! So many people challenging, coming one by one is too troublesome. Why not �� come up five at a time.��


    The whole place was silent!


    Everyone used eyes like looking at a fool to look at Ye Yuan, feeling that this guy��s arrogance was simply unreasonable.


    ��Arrogant! Ignorant! Foolish! You, this junior, are simply conceited to the extreme!��


    Empyrean Longyi was angered by this one sentence until his nose became crooked.


    He was normally a super powerhouse who was revered by people. But today, he was actually slighted by a little brat like this, how could he not be furious?


    But Ye Yuan continued coolly and said, ��Relax, come five at a time. If I lost, I��ll likewise withdraw from the Cloudpill Summit.��


    Empyrean Longyi��s two eyes went wide, nearly spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    He was already unable to use words to describe Ye Yuan��s arrogance. This fellow was simply impervious to reason.


    Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Pilljade and said, ��Brother Pilljade, what do you think?��


    Empyrean Pilljade was naturally also extremely disdainful in his heart.


    Although Empyrean Longyi��s alchemy strength was nothing in his eyes, he was at least a Seven-star Alchemy God whose strength stood out among the masses.


    For Ye Yuan to want to fight one-on-five, this was too arrogant.


    Empyrean Pilljade looked towards Empyrean Flutterfeather and said, ��This Empyrean doesn��t have any objections. What do you think, Brother Flutterfeather?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather nodded slightly and said, ��Alright, one by one is indeed wasting time. How about this, the final 13 people change to one-on-one, the rest will all be one-on-five.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s words made everyone stare wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Empyrean Pilljade was stunned by it.


    Was this deliberately striking Ye Yuan down, or that he was too confident in Ye Yuan?


    No one would have thought that Ye Yuan��s faithful ally would agree so readily.


    ��Alright, then it��s settled,�� Pilljade nodded his head and said.


    Five Empyreans stood in the ring, feeling an unprecedented humiliation.


    Each one of them was practically about to spew fire, planning on venting their stomach full of rage onto Ye Yuan.


    An Empyrean gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Kid, you��ll know what��s called despair!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Begin then, there are still many people waiting!��


    That Empyrean��s expression choked, nearly spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    ��Fellow Daoists, I didn��t expect that we��d also have a day where we��ll be looked down upon. Then today, let��s let this junior see our prowess!�� Empyrean Longyi said with a cold smile.


    The few people nodded slightly. The moment they released their auras, Alchemy Dao aura crushed over toward Ye Yuan crazily.


    Seven-star Alchemy Gods taking action, the power was naturally extraordinary.


    Five auras were akin to five fierce tigers, wishing to shred Ye Yuan alive.


    ��Is this Seven-star Alchemy Gods? Indeed powerful!��


    ��Heh, I want to see what right he, Ye Yuan, has to dare be so arrogant.��


    ��The few great Empyreans are all enraged, Ye Yuan will have to lose a layer of skin this time even if he doesn��t die!��

 Chapter 2034 - Astonishing the World With a Single Brilliant Feat!

    In past years, the sparrings between Empyreans were all carried out during the Peak Alchemy Meet.


    These young geniuses did not have the chance to see Seven-star Alchemy God take action at all.


    But today, five great Seven-star Alchemy Gods were in sync and took action at the same time. How powerful were the power and pressure?


    Furthermore, what these few Seven-star Alchemy Gods were currently refining were all rank six divine pills. This was simply a textbook-like performance to those young Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    Seven-star Alchemy Gods refining rank six divine pills was undoubtedly using a butcher��s knife to kill a chicken.


    In the view of these juniors who had never seen Seven-star Alchemy Gods take action before, it was naturally incredibly shocking.


    ��No matter how strong Ye Yuan is, it��s also impossible to block the teamwork of five Seven-star Alchemy Gods, right? This guy is too arrogant!��


    Seeing five great Empyreans take action, everyone shook their heads one after another.


    The current Ye Yuan was already like a clown in their hearts.


    When Empyrean Wenlan saw the situation, he said with a big laugh, ��Huhu, Brother Flutterfeather, you probably miscalculated this time, right? No matter how strong this kid is, how can he possibly defeat five great Seven-star Alchemy Gods?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather just smiled and did not speak. One completely could not see worry from his face.


    Sensing the five Alchemy Dao auras that could topple mountains and overturn the seas, Ye Yuan just laughed coldly. Forming a seal with his hand, a boundless aura rose to the sky like a rocket directly from between the gaps of the five great Empyreans.


    Everyone��s faces immediately changed drastically!


    The moment this aura appeared, it immediately made the five great Empyreans�� aura pale in comparison.


    That dazzling light forced everyone until they could not open their eyes.


    If the five great Empyreans�� auras were likened to stars, Ye Yuan��s aura currently was the sun!


    Under the illumination of the sun, all stars lost their luster.


    Only I alone reign supreme!


    ��What a powerful aura! It turns out that a Six-star Alchemy God can do it to this extent?��


    ��Too terrifying! To actually overwhelm five great Seven-star Alchemy Gods with Six-star Alchemy God strength, just what realm is Ye Yuan? Middle-stage Dao Realm? Late-stage?��


    ��How is this possible? How can a Six-star Alchemy God be so strong?��


    ��


    On the plaza, cries of exclamations linked up together.


    The Six-star Alchemy Gods here were no less than ten thousand people. Each one of them had a standard for the limits of Six-star Alchemy Gods in their hearts.


    But the current Ye Yuan completely shattered all of their benchmarks, subverting all of their understanding.


    It turned out that Six-star Alchemy Gods could be so strong!


    In the crowd, Yun Yi looked at that dazzling figure, with his face full of bitterness.


    ��We were all wrong! Turns out that he wasn��t posturing, but that he really finds us beneath contempt. Although we��re all Six-star Alchemy Gods, we don��t have the qualifications to challenge him at all!��


    Only at this moment did Yun Yi finally understand that all of Ye Yuan��s arrogance previously was just illustrating an all too normal thing.


    Ye Yuan eyes no longer had those in the same generation long ago.


    Those able to exchange blows with him were only Seven-star Alchemy Gods. Furthermore, they were peak existences among Seven-star Alchemy Gods!


    Since that was the case, their provocation naturally appeared laughable.


    Would an Empyrean powerhouse mind a Celestial Deity Realm��s provocation?


    What difference was that sort of provocation from a naughty child pointing an adult in the face and saying, I want to defeat you?


    As for Luo Yue and the rest, each and every one of them was shocked until it could not be any greater.


    They had witnessed before Ning Siyu��s Alchemy Dao and were utterly defeated at her hands until they were black and blue.


    At that time, they thought that Ning Siyu was a rare alchemy talent.


    But placing Ning Siyu in front of Ye Yuan, that was not on the same level at all!


    No wonder even with Ning Siyu��s exceptional talent, she had to be so respectful and submissive in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength was sufficient to crush the majority of Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    Empyrean Pilljade, Empyrean Pilljade, Empyrean Lumen, Empyrean Chaoyuan, and the rest were all radiating brilliance in their gazes at this time.


    Clearly, they were astounded by Ye Yuan��s breathtaking debut.


    This was Ye Yuan��s first time taking action in the Cloudpill Summit. But it carved an indelible impression in the people��s minds.


    The five great Empyrean��s faces changed drastically, a never before sense of oppression made them instantly have many mistakes appear.


    When experts exchanged blows, victory and defeat lied in just millimeters.


    This tiny bit of mistake already determined the conclusion.


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, he established his victory!


    Of course, Empyrean Longyi and the rest were not ordinary people. Even when suppressed, they were still not defeated.


    It was just a pity that defeat was already set!


    The five great Empyreans could only eke out a meager existence under Ye Yuan��s powerful pressure.


    After more than two hours, Ye Yuan pulled back, the pill formed!


    But the others were still struggling bitterly.


    Ye Yuan looked at the five great Empyreans calmly. After he withdrew, the five great Empyreans finally recovered strength. After an hour, they completed the refinement.


    Except, no one paid attention to them anymore.


    Everyone��s gazes were gathered on Ye Yuan.


    Astonishing the world with a single brilliant feat!


    Before this, no one could have thought that Ye Yuan had the strength to compete with Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    His words were ignorant, was arrogant, was unreasonable, in everyone��s eyes.


    But only now did they know that turns out that was merely Ye Yuan accurately stating his own strength!


    Even if someone chose to believe Ye Yuan, it was also impossible for them to expect that Ye Yuan would defeat five great Seven-star Alchemy Gods in a crushing manner.


    ��Too incredible! Really too impressive! A thousand over years old young man, how can his alchemy strength be so strong?��


    ��Seven-star Alchemy God! Those are Seven-star Alchemy Gods! Furthermore, it��s even five of them. They were defeated just like this?��


    ��Just based on this fight, who dares to say that he doesn��t have the qualifications to sit on the grandmaster seat?��


    ��


    Ye Yuan making his move shocked the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world.


    Starting from today, Seven-star Alchemy Gods were not undefeatable!


    About to open the furnace, everyone held their breaths.


    ��Ye Yuan, purple spirit divine-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Longyi, peak superior-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Pingao, superior-grade!��


    ��


    A grandmaster opened the furnaces of Ye Yuan and the others. Apart from Empyrean Longyi reaching peak superior-grade, the others were all only ordinary superior-grade, without even a heaven-grade.


    Seven-star Alchemy Gods refining rank six divine pills, with the strength of Empyrean Longyi and the rest, heaven-grade was the minimum requirement.


    Even divine-grade was nothing difficult to them too.


    But they were suppressed firmly by Ye Yuan and could not even break through to heaven-grade.


    The expression on Empyrean Longyi��s face was extremely ugly. He just gave a cold snort and returned to his seat.


    He currently felt that his face was already utterly lost. He was actually suppressed by a Six-star Alchemy God to such a degree.


    ��Huhu, no wonder you could make Empyrean Flutterfeather view you in a different light. Grandmaster Ye��s strength indeed can��t be underestimated. However �� want to sit in the position of grandmaster just based on this, it��s still not enough!��


    On the Empyrean seats, Empyrean Wenlan said dripping with sarcasm.


    Ye Yuan��s situation, he could naturally do it and even do it better than Ye Yuan.


    After all, the alchemy strength of Empyrean Longyi and the others could only be considered below-average among these 100 Empyreans.


    But his words were still leaking a sour flavor.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s strength far exceeded everyone��s imagination.

 Chapter 2035 - Empyrean Proudcloud

    ��Ye Yuan, purple spirit divine-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Azurerain, peak superior-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Jiuhao, superior-grade!��


    ��


    Five Empyreans being defeated, another five Empyreans came. It was just that the result was still the same, a total defeat!


    Five to six rounds were done in a row, the results were all the same.


    Ye Yuan was forever purple spirit divine-grade, while the others were either peak superior-grade or superior-grade.


    All in all, they were unable to break through to heaven-grade, this category.


    Very soon, those Empyreans felt something amiss.


    ��Hiss �� This isn��t right!�� Empyrean Lumen said with a frown.


    By the side, his good friend Empyrean Windrider smile and said, ��Huhu, you also perceived it? This Grandmaster Ye isn��t simple!��


    Empyrean Lumen said in surprise, ��You saw through long ago?��


    Empyrean Windrider smiled and said, ��The order of appearing on the stage is according to the strength of the Empyrean, which is also their seating order. The ones taking the field now, their rankings already reached 40-50th place. Their strengths are all much stronger than Younger Brother Longyi. Logically speaking, even if Grandmaster Ye��s strength is formidable, there should also be someone who broke through to heaven-grade already. But up till now, there��s actually no one who could break through to heaven-grade!��


    ��That is also to say that Grandmaster Ye still has the strength to spare! This �� Could it be that his strength can really reach the level of grandmaster?��


    Empyrean Lumen was really shocked!


    Originally, he thought that Ye Yuan was only extremely capable in deducing things, while his hands-on ability might be slightly lacking.


    But who could have thought that Ye Yuan��s hands-on ability was even more horrifying than his deducing ability!


    Ye Yuan was truly a monstrous-like young man!


    Empyrean Windrider smiled and said, ��Whether or not he has the strength of an Empyrean, I have no idea. But I��m very curious now just who can force out his true strength.��


    Battling in alchemy until now, there was already no one who doubted Ye Yuan��s degree of monstrousness. It was just that everyone was greatly looking forward to who could force out all of his strength.


    One battle after another, those Five-star and Six-star Alchemy Gods below long already went from surprise to admiration with regards to Ye Yuan��s strength.


    They were different from those Empyreans. In the eyes of Seven-star Alchemy Gods, Ye Yuan was just a junior. A junior riding on top of their heads, so they were naturally unhappy.


    But Ye Yuan and these juniors were peers. For a peer to be able to have such horrifying alchemy strength, what else could they do except admire?


    After ten rounds of battle, Ye Yuan won all the way and not a single person could actually reach heaven-grade.


    This kind of result was too unexpected.


    ��Grandmaster Ye is really too fearsome. From today onwards, he��s my idol. I��ll have the opportunity to stand in front of him in this life.��


    ��Screw off, you! Previously, you were still saying that he��s arrogant and ignorant about the immensity of heaven and earth.��


    That person��s face turned red, and he argued and said, ��That �� That��s because I didn��t know beforehand! Prior to this, who could have imagined that a Six-star Alchemy God could reach such a realm!��


    ��That makes sense. He really broadened my horizons today!��


    ��


    After ten rounds of battle, Ye Yuan defeated 50 Seven-star Alchemy Gods. No matter whether he won or lost at the back, it was already sufficient to make these juniors worship crazily.


    Swoosh!


    A figure leaped into the air and landed in the ring, a look of scorn on his face.


    ��It��s Empyrean Proudcloud! It��s finally his turn to make a move!��


    ��Why? Is Empyrean Proudcloud very impressive?�� Someone who did not understand asked wonderingly.


    ��Heh, more than impressive! Do you know why Lord Flutterfeather wanted Grandmaster Ye to fight one-on-one starting from Empyrean Proudcloud?��


    ��This �� Could it be that there��s still some reason?�� He originally thought that this was just casually said thoughtlessly. Looking at it now, it was clearly not the case.


    That holy land disciple clearly had the intention of showing off too, saying smugly, ��Empyrean Proudcloud is ranked 25th among all the Empyreans, the Seven-star Alchemy Gods before him were all middle-stage Dao Realm. But starting from him, those are all late-stage Dao Realm mighty experts!��


    ��So that��s how it is! Starting from Empyrean Proudcloud, the strength goes up by a full level!��


    There was a series of exclamations all around, finally understanding the difference involved.


    Dao Realm was an extremely drawn-out realm. Similarly in middle-stage Dao Realm, the medicinal pills refined could have a huge difference.


    And wanting to cultivate from middle-stage Dao Realm to late-stage Dao Realm, this was an incomparably difficult step.


    Only by taking this step could one be considered a top Seven-star Alchemy God.


    Empyrean Proudcloud was clearly such a powerhouse!


    ��Hang on! Then according to this, isn��t Grandmaster Ye already late-stage Dao Realm?��


    Very soon, someone reacted to it and thought of Ye Yuan.


    Empyrean Proudcloud was the watershed of late-stage Dao Realm. If so, then with Ye Yuan defeating all of the middle-stage Dao Realms, wouldn��t he very likely be late-stage Dao Realm?


    A thousand over years old late-stage Dao Realm ��


    When everyone reacted to it, each and every one of them sucked in a cold breath.


    With Empyrean Proudcloud as a reference, everyone would have a taste of Ye Yuan��s monstrousness even more.


    To Six-star Alchemy Gods, just entering the Dao Realm was already the limit. Forget about the middle-stage Dao Realm, they did not even dare to imagine the peak initial-stage Dao Realm.


    Because once you entered the Dao Realm, the difficulty of comprehending Alchemy Dao would soar. That required the accumulation of countless years.


    And this long period of time was sufficient to let these geniuses break through to the Empyrean Realm already.


    Previously, everyone��s guesses about Ye Yuan��s strength were mostly in the middle-stage Dao Realm.


    But now, Ye Yuan rose a level out of the blue, reaching the late-stage Dao Realm.


    This kind of change made everyone feel too astonished �� as well as absurd.


    The holy land disciple that was originally showing off was also stunned. He clearly did not think of this as well.


    That holy land disciple said, ��This �� Although Grandmaster Ye is indeed an exceptional genius, it��s impossible for him to be Empyrean Proudcloud��s match. After all, the duration that Empyrean Proudcloud has been in the late-stage Dao Realm is already not short!��


    The others also nodded their heads one after another. Monstrousness got to have a limit. A thousand over years old late-stage Dao Realm, this already could not be imagined.


    If Ye Yuan crushed all the way again, it was clearly being too unreasonable.


    But now, none of these juniors already felt that it was not apt for Ye Yuan to sit on a grandmaster seat.


    He already surpassed 80% of Empyreans at a young age, his future achievements would absolutely not be inferior to these grandmasters, even going further beyond.


    Empyrean Proudcloud looked at Ye Yuan and said with a disdainful look on his face, ��Ye Yuan, this Empyrean indeed underestimated you. I didn��t expect that you��re already late-stage Dao Realm at a young age. But you��re too condescending, too arrogant! You challenged all the Seven-star Alchemy Gods with the grandmaster token as a wager. You��ll stop here with me. You can only withdraw out of the Cloudpill Summit with a heavy heart!��


    Similarly at the late-stage Dao Realm, he had cultivated several hundreds of thousands of years more than Ye Yuan. So how could he possibly lose to Ye Yuan?


    But he was indeed surprised by Ye Yuan��s talent.


    He was even somewhat jealous.


    With Ye Yuan��s talent, surpassing him was just a matter of time.


    Hence, he already made up his mind in his heart to ruthlessly quash Ye Yuan��s prestige this time, making him lose all of his pride, crushing this genius completely!


    Geniuses were breathtaking, but they were also easy to break.


    The more prodigious, the more proud they were, the faster they would wither after being struck down!


    Thinking up to here, Empyrean Proudcloud was secretly feeling good in his heart.


    ��Oh? Is that so? To make me withdraw out of the Cloudpill Summit, just the likes of you aren��t qualified enough yet!�� Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Proudcloud and said calmly.

 Chapter 2036 - Lending Cauldron

    ��Tsk tsk, really as arrogant as before! It��s just don��t know if he has the strength to continue to be conceited or not,�� Empyrean Wenlan said with a faint smile.


    The alchemy battles previously were all appetizers.


    There was no comparison at all between late-stage Dao Realm and middle-stage Dao Realm powerhouses.


    Now, reaching Empyrean Proudcloud this watershed, it was the time to showcase one��s true abilities.


    Empyrean Daogan said coolly, ��A thousand over years old late-stage Dao Realm, this boy can be sufficiently proud. It��s just that after reaching late-stage Dao Realm, it gets increasingly harder. No matter how great his talent is, this is also the limit.��


    The other Empyreans secretly nodded their heads when they heard this.


    They understood the difficulty of advancing even more after they reached the late-stage Dao Realm.


    As for Ye Yuan walking to this step, they were indeed incomparably surprised. But to talk about going a step further and defeating late-stage Dao Realms, they did not believe it no matter what.


    Empyrean Proudcloud had a grim expression as he said with a cold smile, ��Then let this Empyrean have a crack at you! Illusory Truth Cauldron, open!��


    In an instant, the aura of Dao spread out, everyone marveled in admiration one after another.


    ��This �� is an empyrean spirit treasure!��


    ��Looks like Empyrean Proudcloud means business!��


    ��This isn��t fair! Empyrean spirit treasure versus celestial deity mystic treasure, this is too unfair!��


    ��


    The current Ye Yuan already gained a group of supporters.


    When they saw Empyrean Proudcloud using an empyrean spirit treasure, they were immediately unhappy.


    What the current Ye Yuan was using was still the Xuanlong Cauldron that Empyrean Flutterfeather gave to him. It was a pinnacle existence among celestial deity mystic treasures, being not weaker than even true god mystic treasures.


    However, a celestial deity mystic treasure was still a celestial deity mystic treasure. No matter how strong it was, it was not comparable to empyrean spirit treasure.


    Medicinal cauldrons had considerable enhancement ability for pill refinement, regardless of whether it was the quality of the medicinal pills or during the process of the refinement.


    At similar strength, the medicinal pills refined by an empyrean spirit treasure and refined by a celestial deity medicinal pills had no comparison at all.


    ��Humph! When this Empyrean is refining pills, how can it be your turn to butt in, you juniors? Moreover, this alchemy battle doesn��t restrict medicinal cauldrons. So what��s wrong with me doing this? If he really has the strength of a grandmaster, would he mind this bit of difference?�� Proudcloud said with a cold smile.


    Shameless!


    This was the feeling that Proudcloud gave everyone currently.


    It was just that these were all juniors who did not have the right to speak at all.


    But right at this time, a ray of white light flew out from the Empyrean seats and landing in the ring.


    A milky-white medicinal cauldron appeared in front of everyone.


    When Empyrean Proudcloud saw this medicinal cauldron, his expression could not help changing greatly. Turning his head to look toward the Empyrean seats, he said in a solemn voice, ��Brother Chaoyuan, what do you mean by this?!��


    It turned out that this medicinal cauldron was actually Empyrean Chaoyuan��s!


    The aura coming off of this milky-white medicinal cauldron was even stronger than the Illusory Truth Cauldron. It was shockingly an empyrean spirit treasure too. Furthermore, its quality was even higher than the Illusory Truth Cauldron!


    ��This �� This is Empyrean Chaoyuan��s lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure, Daytime Cauldron! He �� He can actually bear to take it out for Ye Yuan to use!�� An Empyrean powerhouse marveled with admiration.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan ignored Proudcloud and just said to Ye Yuan coolly, ��Little Friend, this old man��s Daytime Cauldron will be lent to you for use.��


    A wave of exclamations came from all around.


    ��Everyone says that Empyrean Chaoyuan doesn��t tolerate unreasonable things. It��s indeed like so!��


    ��Looks like Empyrean Chaoyuan couldn��t endure the sight of it and even lent out his lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure.��


    ��So what? Even so, it��s still unfair! Grandmaster Ye��s cultivation realm can��t unleash the true power of an empyrean spirit treasure at all.��


    ��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan��s action of lending his cauldron surprised everyone.


    At this time, no one doubted anymore that he was not unhappy about being put under Ye Yuan.


    The reason he did it was to witness Ye Yuan��s true strength!


    Ye Yuan lightly caressed the Daytime Cauldron and felt a surging force from inside. Using it to refine pills could absolutely yield twice the results with half the effort.


    ��Indeed a fine cauldron! Many thanks, Brother Chaoyuan!��


    Ye Yuan lightly clasped his hands at the Empyrean Chaoyuan up on the high platform to express his thanks. But his tone of voice changed as he suddenly said, ��However, why is there a need for an empyrean spirit treasure to deal with him? My Xuanlong Cauldron will suffice!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan pushed with his palm. The Daytime Cauldron immediately turned into a streak of white light and flew toward Empyrean Chaoyuan.


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Empyrean Chaoyuan��s eyes. Ye Yuan actually moved his Daytime Cauldron so effortlessly!


    One had to know, this was his lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure. Although he did not deliberately control it, it was also not what anybody could move.


    If Ye Yuan really wanted to use it, he still had to confer the intent to the Daytime Cauldron.


    ��What? He��s mad, right? Empyrean Chaoyuan��s good intentions, he actually doesn��t appreciate it?��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s actions, everyone was perplexed, giving off a series of exclamations.


    Even Empyrean Proudcloud was already thrown into a daze by Ye Yuan��s action and did not react to it for a while.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan took back the Daytime Cauldron and said coolly, ��May as well.��


    ��Heh heh, a brat who overestimates his own ability! I��ll let you have a taste of this Empyrean��s prowess! Myriad Transformation Universe Hands!��


    Empyrean Proudcloud kneaded seals, a pressure that surged to the extreme swept over toward Ye Yuan.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s faces changed one after another.


    When those Empyreans took action previously, even when it reached around the 30th place later on, their Alchemy Dao auras also could not match up to 20% of Empyrean Proudcloud��s power!


    Late-stage Dao Realm was actually frighteningly powerful!


    In front of this aura, Ye Yuan was like a small rowboat in the ocean, appearing to be teetering on its last legs.


    ��Proudcloud��s Myriad Transformation Universe Hands is a rather formidable rank seven alchemy technique. Coupled with the Illusory Truth Cauldron, even this Empyrean have to deal with it carefully too. I don��t believe that this kid can really overturn the skies!�� Empyrean Daogan said with a cold smile.


    The junior disciples in the plaza all looked towards Ye Yuan very worriedly, wanting to see how he would respond.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his gaze when looking toward Empyrean Proudcloud carried some coldness.


    ��Even want to sneak attack me? This guy is really shameless! Since that��s the case, then I��ll teach you a lesson that you��ll never forget!�� Ye Yuan sneered in his heart.


    Just earlier, he clearly felt that inside the Alchemy Dao aura contained a portion of divine soul force. This guy actually wanted to sneak attack him.


    But Empyrean Proudcloud should have some secret art. He did it very cleverly, it was hard for bystanders to detect.


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan also became truly enraged.


    Only to see him beckon with one hand, spirit medicines all flew into the Xuanlong Cauldron. A vast and mighty Alchemy Dao aura instantly rose up!


    This imposing momentum was even several times stronger than the Empyrean Proudcloud who borrowed the power of an empyrean spirit treasure. It instantly eclipsed Empyrean Proudcloud��s aura.


    On the Empyrean seats, Empyrean Chaoyuan suddenly stood up, staring fixedly at ye yuan, his eyes shooting out rays of brilliance.


    The other Empyreans also had shocked expressions on their faces. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were full of disbelief.


    Empyrean Proudcloud was currently being pleased with himself when he suddenly felt a heaven-blotting-like aura instantly overshadow him.


    His alchemy art was nearly directly interrupted.


    In his abdomen, blood surged up, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood.


    Fortunately, his realm was exceedingly high, forcefully suppressing this surging.


    Except, he already completely lost living space under Ye Yuan��s lofty aura.


    ��This �� How is this possible? A thousand over years old grand completion Dao Realm?�� Empyrean Proudcloud was incomparably shocked in his heart.

 Chapter 2037 - Unrelenting

    ��Grand completion Dao Realm! This is definitely grand completion Dao Realm!��


    ��My God! What did I see? A thousand over years old grand completion Dao Realm, is there still justice?��


    ��Terrifying! Too terrifying! I��ve never seen before such a monster! No wonder he dared to look down on the numerous Seven-star Alchemy Gods, he indeed has this capital!��


    ��


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, the entire plaza was boiling over with excitement.


    The eyes of those junior disciples revealed extremely fervent expressions. The idolizing feelings were not only expressed in words but also on the face.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually a grand completion Dao Realm mighty expert. This was too inconceivable to an alchemist that was only a thousand over years old.


    Overwhelming!


    An absolutely domineering crushing!


    At this very moment, everyone was in the midst of shock.


    This kind of domineering crushing, only people in the grand completion Dao Realm could do it.


    But such a young person reaching the grand completion Dao Realm already exceeded everyone��s imagination.


    What kind of concept was grand completion Dao Realm?


    In the entire Southern Border, at the Cloudpill Summit presently, it represented the highest standard.


    And these 100 over Seven-star Alchemy Gods that were able to reach the grand completion Dao Realm did not surpass the number of fingers on both hands.


    One should not look at how there were more than ten grandmasters up there. Those able to reach the grand completion Dao Realm were only the seven great peak holy land��s masters.


    As for the invited grandmasters, they were basically all late-stage Dao Realm. They were still a hair away from reaching grand completion.


    But who among these Seven-star Alchemy Gods did not trudge for several hundred thousand years along the alchemy path, or even a million years before they had today��s accomplishments?


    But today, a True God Realm junior, a thousand over years old brat, was actually already grand completion Dao Realm!


    This kind of astoundment simply could not use words to express.


    How powerful was Empyrean Proudcloud? But even so, he actually almost vomited blood under Ye Yuan��s pressure.


    Under Ye Yuan��s light, Empyrean Proudcloud was dim like stars in a haze; practically could not be seen.


    At this very moment, Empyrean Proudcloud only wanted the alchemy battle to hurry up and end. He already almost could not bear it anymore.


    A strong sense of humiliation welled up crazily in his heart.


    He knew that Ye Yuan definitely detected his trick, that was why he attacked him in such a fierce manner.


    Except, why was this guy able to block his divine soul attack?


    He thought that he did it at the behest of gods and ghosts, who knew that it could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all.


    I better �� I better directly give up and admit defeat! Empyrean Proudcloud thought bitterly in his heart.


    ��Huhu, a dignified Seven-star Alchemy God only has this bit of strength? Really disappointing!�� Right at this time, Ye Yuan��s ridiculing reached his ears.


    Empyrean Proudcloud gritted his teeth and said, ��Brat, d-don��t you get cocky! I��ll let you take a look at this Empyrean��s strength!��


    Empyreans had the pride of an Empyrean. With Ye Yuan��s nonchalant goading, how could Empyrean Proudcloud endure it? Gritting his teeth, he erupted once more.


    It was just that his aura had yet to appear and it was extinguished by Ye Yuan without the least bit of mercy.


    In front of Ye Yuan, he actually did not have the slightest leeway to resist.


    ��Condense!��


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, and a pill was formed!


    While at this moment, Empyrean Proudcloud seemed to have experienced a great battle, his entire person appearing somewhat feeble.


    Although an Empyrean��s divine soul and divine essence was extremely thick and Ye Yuan could not really do anything to him, teaching him a bit of a lesson was still achievable.


    In this alchemy battle, the two people were not on the same level at all. For Empyrean Proudcloud to want to refine pills under Ye Yuan��s heavy pressure, he had to expend several times, even several dozen times of Ye Yuan��s effort.


    Even if he was an Empyrean, he was also incredibly weary at this time.


    When everyone looked at this scene, they could not help casting pitying gazes towards Empyrean Proudcloud.


    ��Really too strong! It��s still my first time seeing a Six-star Alchemy God torment a Seven-star Alchemy God until like this.��


    ��Ye Yuan really overpowered Empyrean Proudcloud with strength, the title of grandmaster is well-deserving!��


    ��Don��t you guys forget! What Ye Yuan used was just a celestial deity mystic treasure, but what Empyrean Proudcloud used was an empyrean spirit treasure!��


    ��


    The moment this came out, the surroundings fell silent.


    Empyrean Proudcloud was crushed by Ye Yuan until he was black and blue all over under the circumstances of holding all the cards.


    This strength could really use horrifying to describe.


    ��Ye Yuan, vast spirit divine-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Proudcloud �� middle-grade!��


    The judge gave Empyrean Proudcloud a rueful glance and slowly said.


    ��Hahaha!��


    A wave of laughter came from below.


    An exalted Seven-star Alchemy God actually only refined a middle-grade when refining a rank six divine pill. It was simply a massive joke.


    The current Empyrean Proudcloud wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    Before the alchemy match, how fired up with boundless enthusiasm was he? Completely not putting Ye Yuan in his eyes.


    But now, reality gave him a resounding slap.


    In front of Ye Yuan, he was nothing.


    Empyrean Proudcloud��s gaze secretly shot a glance at Ye Yuan, filled with enmity.


    This kid made him utterly lose his face today!


    When had he, an exalted Empyrean, a Seven-star Alchemy God in the late-stage Dao Realm mighty expert, suffered such humiliation before?


    However, nobody was paying attention to him anymore. Everyone��s gaze was focused on Ye Yuan.


    A thousand over years old grand completion Dao Realm! This was too terrifying!


    With Ye Yuan��s talent, he might be able to become a second Medicine Ancestor in the future!


    At this time, Empyrean Purplewing suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��I believe everyone has already seen Ye Yuan��s strength. There shouldn��t be anyone with objections about him sitting on a grandmaster seat anymore, right?��


    Empyrean Purplewing was already completely convinced by Ye Yuan. At this very moment, he no longer had any complaints about Empyrean Flutterfeather handing the grandmaster token to Ye Yuan.


    On the contrary, he was full of admiration toward Ye Yuan.


    Such a young grand completion Dao Realm, it was absolutely adding wings to a tiger to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    ��Of course there��s no objections! If even a grand completion Dao Realm can��t sit on a grandmaster seat, then who else is fit to sit up there?��


    ��There��s no need to compete anymore for those at the back too, Grandmaster Ye��s title lives up to his name!��


    ��


    The group of Empyreans no longer had objections. Ye Yuan already used his strength to convince all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods from the bottom of their hearts.


    But right at this time, a discordant voice slowly sounded out.


    ��Since he accepted the challenge, then he naturally had to finish competing in the alchemy battles. He��ll hand over the grandmaster token if he loses a match, this was what he said. How can he go back on his word?��


    The one who spoke was precisely Empyrean Pilljade.


    Everyone��s hearts turned cold, not expecting that Empyrean Pilljade was actually still biting on and not letting go!


    Empyrean Purplewing frowned and said, ��Brother Pilljade, Ye Yuan already proved his strength, what significance is there still to continue competing?��


    But Empyrean Pilljade smiled and said, ��Even if this Empyrean agrees, I��m afraid that Brother Chaoyuan won��t agree too, is that right, Brother Chaoyuan?��


    Everyone��s gazes looked toward Empyrean Chaoyuan collectively.


    ��What��s the meaning of this? Could it be that Empyrean Chaoyuan can still be Grandmaster Ye��s match?��


    ��Empyrean Chaoyuan is merely in the Empyrean seats. At the very most, he��s also evenly-matched in strength with the invited grandmasters. What meaning is there to continue competing?��


    ��


    On the plaza, a series of wondering voices came over.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan rarely took action. Everyone only knew that he was formidable, but they did not know how impressive he was.


    Seeing Empyrean Pilljade inquire, Empyrean Chaoyuan slowly stood up and was just about to speak, but he saw Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��This Ye is a man of his word! This alchemy battle �� will continue! Brother Chaoyuan, please don��t stint in enlightening me with your teachings!��

 Chapter 2038 - Pinnacle Battle, Commences!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Under the focus of all of the gazes, Empyrean Chaoyuan slowly got up.


    He stroked his beard lightly and said smilingly, ��This youth is formidable and worthy of respect! I��m not worthy of giving teachings. Let us compare notes.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, and he said with a smile, ��Haha, toward Brother Chaoyuan, this Ye will definitely go all out!��


    ��What? Could it be that this isn��t Ye Yuan��s limit yet?��


    The words made everyone incomparably shocked.


    Grand completion Dao Realm already made everyone��s eyes fall to the ground.


    But hearing the meaning in Ye Yuan��s words, he actually did not even go all out when crushing Empyrean Proudcloud like that just now!


    This �� This was too terrifying!


    Just where was this fellow��s limit?


    All of the Empyreans used eyes like looking at a monster to look at Ye Yuan, their faces being full of doubt and shock.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan was clearly very surprised too. It was only to see his two eyes narrowed together slightly, and then he said with a smile, ��Alright, this old man will wait and see.��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan took his seat. Empyrean Pilljade smiled and said, ��In a while, you all have to open your eyes wide and watch. The battle of two great grand completion Dao Realms isn��t so easily seen. If you can comprehend just a little, you all will benefit for life!��


    ��What?! Empyrean Chaoyuan he �� is also grand completion Dao Realm?��


    ��No way, right? If Empyrean Chaoyuan is at the grand completion Dao Realm, wouldn��t he be even more formidable than some grandmasters? He��s actually still sitting on the Empyrean seats?��


    ��Empyrean Pilljade��s words hold true like an emperor��s, so it��s likely not far off! I really didn��t expect that there��s actually still this kind of mighty expert in the Empyrean seats. No wonder with Empyrean Purplewing��s strength, he can only lower himself to the second-rate seats.��


    Clearly, everyone did not know Empyrean Chaoyuan��s true strength. There were even many Empyreans who had stupefied faces.


    Empyrean Pilljade wanted to make use of Empyrean Chaoyuan to block Ye Yuan and chase him out of the Cloudpill Summit!


    Everyone said that Empyrean Pilljade and Empyrean Flutterfeather were not on good terms. This was indeed the case.


    But while surprise was surprise, everyone was still looking forward to this battle immensely.


    Just as Empyrean Pilljade said, the clash of two great grand completion Dao Realms was bound to be a fierce struggle between two evenly-matched opponents.


    This kind of alchemy battle was hard to come across in ten thousand years!


    After the surprise, the alchemy battles continued.


    It was just that the battles afterward no longer had much suspense.


    Empyrean Daogan, Empyrean Wenlan, even the rank three Empyrean Remotenight, when they went up the stage, they all had expressions like their parents had died, being extremely ugly.


    How venerated were their statuses? Now, they had to undergo a sure-lose alchemy battle under the watchful gazes of the people. It was really even more awful than killing them.


    These few great Empyreans were all leading authority class figures. What they valued the most were their own feathers. Even if they really had to lose, it also could not be in front of so many people��s faces.


    At this very moment, their intestines were green with regret.


    But how could they have thought that Ye Yuan would actually be monstrous to such a degree?


    Thinking about it now, their provocation seemed so laughable.


    A late-stage Dao Realm expert challenging a grand completion Dao Realm powerhouse?


    It was not on the same level at all, alright?!


    The results were as expected. Even Empyrean Remotenight could not gain the least bit of advantage under Ye Yuan��s hands too, and he was defeated in the end.


    But these few Empyrean��s final medicinal pill grades were all peak superior-grade without exception.


    At this time, everyone finally came to realize the truth, turns out that Ye Yuan did it on purpose!


    Even Empyrean Remotenight was firmly suppressed by Ye Yuan to peak superior-grade, so how terrifying was his control over alchemy?


    Late-stage Dao Realm and grand completion Dao Realm, only being a hair away, but the strength was worlds apart.


    After Empyrean Remotenight quietly walked off, everyone roused themselves.


    The main show had arrived!


    Even the powerhouses on the grandmaster seats also became 120% alert, looking forward to this pinnacle battle!


    This match was absolutely a pinnacle battle!


    Because Empyrean Realm Pilljade was the only Ancestor Realm powerhouse, no one was his match at all. So the battle of peak Dao Realm was the pinnacle battle.


    The six great holy lands�� masters cherished their feathers, it was impossible to fight in front of people.


    If not for a Ye Yuan appearing today, they could forget about seeing this kind of pinnacle battle all their lives.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan looked towards Ye Yuan and said with a hint of marveling, ��Truly didn��t expect that this old man would actually have a day where I��d cross swords with an opponent like you.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In this world, the unexpected things are in the majority. The things within expectations are few.��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Good, an extraordinarily intelligent child! This old man hasn��t had this kind of blood-boiling feeling for far too long already. Encountering you today made this old man much younger all of a sudden!��


    As he said this, he took out a medicinal cauldron. But it was not the Daytime Cauldron. It was a true god mystic treasure.


    ��This is the cauldron that this old man used back then. This old man won��t take advantage of you when crossing swords with you,�� Empyrean Chaoyuan said.


    But when Ye Yuan saw the situation, he shook his head and said, ��Our battle should naturally call forth all the resources in our power. The Daytime Cauldron is Brother Chaoyuan��s highest standard. If this Ye has an empyrean spirit treasure, I��d also take it out without the slightest hesitation.��


    When Empyrean Proudcloud heard this, he could not help smiling coldly as he said, ��Truly arrogant to the extreme! He still dares to be so careless when facing off against Brother Chaoyuan!��


    Empyrean Wenlan gave a cold snort and said, ��Ignorant! Does he really think that he��s invincible under the heavens by entering grand completion Dao Realm? Facing Brother Chaoyuan��s strength, even holy land masters are somewhat wary, but you��re looking down on him here!��


    These few people were all defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands and were very reluctant to give in in their hearts.


    Now that they nabbed the chance, there naturally could not be dispensed with a bout of ridiculing.


    Ye Yuan just smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��What do you know? This isn��t looking down on my opponent, but respecting my opponent. Dealing with you guys, this Ye couldn��t be bothered to use my full strength at all!��


    The few people��s expressions changed, and they said in fury, ��You! Unbridled! Wildly arrogant! When you lose to Brother Cloudpill Summit and leave the Cloudpill Summit dusty and dirty in appearance, I��ll see what you have to be arrogant!��


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s hard to come across a worthy opponent in life. Brother Chaoyuan is an opponent that this Ye respects! Toward opponents that I respect, this Ye will definitely go all out. So what even if I lose?��


    These words were said valiantly, making the blood of the junior disciples in the plaza boil with excitement.


    They saw through that Ye Yuan did not care about this grandmaster token at all.


    Ye Yuan was enjoying the joy of battling in alchemy. This was seeking the apex of Alchemy Dao.


    As for the grandmaster token, it was merely a worldly possession!


    Cultivators of our generation should be like so!


    For a moment, countless worshiping gazes were cast towards Ye Yuan.


    ��Hahaha! What a fine hard to come across a worthy opponent in life! Good, then this old man will go all out in this battle! Ye Yuan, regardless of whether victory or defeat, this old man will become friends with you, my friend across generations!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan said with a big laugh.


    With a thud, the Daytime Cauldron smashed onto the ring, giving off a series of horrifying undulations.


    This Daytime Cauldron��s power was clearly several grades higher than even Empyrean Proudcloud��s Illusory Truth Cauldron.


    ��This old man was already at the grand completion Dao Realm 30 thousand years ago. I��ve gradually progressed in this realm for a long time. Coupled with the Daytime Cauldron, this peak empyrean spirit treasure, you have to be careful!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan said with a laugh.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said calmly, ��Please!��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan nodded slightly. Seals formed in his hands and he said in a solemn voice, ��Grand Luotian Thousand Illusory Dreamcloud True Art, release!��


    The moment Empyrean Chaoyuan made his move, everyone��s expressions changed.

 Chapter 2039 - Half-Step Ancestor Realm!

    On the stage, fog curled upwards. An even and calm aura gradually released.


    Although it was not outrageous like those Empyreans before, this aura made everyone��s faces change.


    Strong!


    Unexpectedly strong!


    Empyrean Chaoyuan��s Alchemy Dao aura was like a towering mountain, standing steadfast.


    Even if Ye Yuan crushed Empyrean Proudcloud��s imposing momentum, it also could not match up to the current Empyrean Chaoyuan.


    ��Huhu, Brother Chaoyuan��s Alchemy Dao realm seems to have improved significantly again! Looks like he��s the most promising alchemist of our Southern Border to step into Ancestor Realm after me! Although Ye Yuan is impressive, it��s likely very hard for him to want to pass his hurdle!��


    When Empyrean Pilljade saw this scene, his face revealed a slight smile, showing a face full of approval.


    Clearly, he was long confident about Empyrean Chaoyuan��s strength.


    There was a series of exclamations in the plaza. Clearly, everyone did not expect that Empyrean Chaoyuan��s alchemy strength was actually so powerful.


    ��With this, Grandmaster Ye is in trouble! This opponent is too strong!��


    ��I really didn��t expect that turns out Empyrean Chaoyuan��s alchemy strength is actually even stronger than grandmasters.��


    ��It��s over, it��s over! Grandmaster Ye finally managed to prove his strength, but he is going to be kicked out of the Cloudpill Summit!��


    ��


    If Empyrean Chaoyuan did not use the Daytime Cauldron, maybe Ye Yuan still had the strength to contend. But Ye Yuan let him use the Daytime Cauldron.


    With the augmentation of an empyrean spirit treasure, Empyrean Chaoyuan��s strength was at least 20%-30% stronger.


    This was practically fatal in the showdown between experts.


    Even Ye Yuan himself was also slightly surprised in his heart. He also did not think that Empyrean Chaoyuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    Looking at the strength that Empyrean Chaoyuan displayed, it could virtually rival Empyrean Flutterfeather��s back then.


    However, Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit worried and brimmed with fighting intent instead.


    Only by encountering such an opponent would this trip not have been in vain!


    ��Haha, bring it!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly, the Chaos Heavenly Star Art suddenly erupted. An aura that was not weaker than Empyrean Chaoyuan instantly erupted.


    Bang!


    The collision of two mighty auras was akin to two massive mountains colliding together, sweeping up an energy storm frenziedly.


    This spectacle was not the slightest bit inferior to the imposing momentum Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather��s alchemy battle back then!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Evenly-matched! This �� how is this possible?��


    One had to know, not only did Empyrean Chaoyuan occupy the absolute advantage in divine soul, divine essence, and various aspects, he even had the augmentation of an empyrean spirit treasure.


    But even so, he only fought until he was roughly on par with Ye Yuan.


    This was also to say that if it was under the same rank, Empyrean Chaoyuan was not Ye Yuan��s match at all!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s eyes also emitted a rare glimmer.


    Of those present, only he knew that Ye Yuan��s strength became much stronger compared to their alchemy battle before.


    If the current Ye Yuan carried out an alchemy battle again with him back then, it would not be known who would emerge victoriously!


    ��Huhu, is it just evenly-matched?�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Hearing this, everyone was startled inwardly.


    Focusing their eyes and looking, sure enough, they saw Ye Yuan��s aura becoming stronger and stronger, and actually faintly showed signs of overpowering Empyrean Chaoyuan.


    However, this kind of advantage was not obvious, Empyrean Chaoyuan was after all not the likes of Empyrean Proudcloud.


    At this moment, Empyrean Chaoyuan had a somber look. He never dreamed that he would actually feel such tremendous pressure from a Six-star Alchemy God.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan was an itinerant cultivator. He had once obtained an Eight-star Alchemy God��s inheritance by chance.


    This Grand Luotian Thousand Illusory Dreamcloud True Art, even when facing-off against any holy land��s master, he did not fear in the slightest too.


    Who could have thought that he would actually be suppressed in front of Ye Yuan?


    Two massive mountain-like auras added radiance and beauty to each other, soaring straight to the sky. This scene was rather similar to Ye Yuan��s battle with Empyrean Flutterfeather back then.


    But sadly, Empyrean Chaoyuan��s was ultimately a notch weaker and was unable to produce a resonance with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan released his aura fully, gradually shattering the scene of being evenly-matched in strength, and actually suppressed Empyrean Chaoyuan.


    However, Empyrean Chaoyuan did not show weakness in the slightest too, standing up to Ye Yuan��s aura firmly.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression became more and more solemn, narrowing his eyes as he said, ��Could it be that �� he already touched the threshold of Ancestor Realm, and stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather had a smile in his gaze, secretly thinking to himself that this guy finally became aware of it!


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, Empyrean Flutterfeather discovered that Ye Yuan��s present realm was already similar to his back then!


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan already glimpsed the door of Ancestor Realm. As long as there was an opportunity, he would be able to step into Ancestor Realm.


    Dao Realm to Ancestor Realm, the most difficult was this step.


    Ancestor Realm was too fleeting and ephemeral. Even for grand completion Dao Realm to want to touch this boundary, it required an immense comprehension ability and a lucky chance too.


    Even Empyrean Flutterfeather also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually found this path so quickly.


    Just how much time had passed from the last Alchemy Celestial Pavilion alchemy battle until now?


    This kid��s comprehension ability simply startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s words were like casting a rock into a pool of still water, immediately a series of great waves.


    ��What? Half-step Ancestor Realm! Doesn��t that mean that he has a possibility of stepping into Ancestor Realm at any time?��


    ��Too crazy! Really too crazy! Could it be that this kid is the reincarnation of the Medicine Ancestor?��


    ��He��s just in the True God Realm! Once he reaches the Empyrean Realm or the Heavenly Emperor Realm, how terrifying would he be?��


    ��


    The group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods immediately burst into an uproar!


    Ancestor Realm, that was all of their lifelong pursuits. But this step was far too difficult.


    Forget about Empyrean Proudcloud, this kind of late-stage Dao Realm, even the seven great peak holy land��s masters were also stuck firmly in front of this step, unable to break through for hundreds of thousands of years.


    But how old was Ye Yuan?


    Such a monstrous existence simply made them jealous until they wanted to kill people.


    All the way until this moment, they finally understood why Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the grandmaster token to Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan already surpassed 95% of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods here, reaching a realm that they looked up to.


    Even for the seven great peak holy land��s masters, apart from Empyrean Pilljade, there was only an Empyrean Flutterfeather who touched the threshold of Ancestor Realm and stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm.


    The others were all lingering around grand completion Dao Realm. Regarding Ancestor Realm, they were unable to find the correct approach from start to end.


    Ye Yuan was an existence on the same level as Flutterfeather!


    If even he did not have the qualifications to hold this grandmaster token, who else had the qualifications?


    ��Condense!��


    ��Condense!��


    Virtually crying out in chorus, Ye Yuan and Empyrean Chaoyuan shouted out.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan looked toward Ye Yuan, his gaze still carried shock.


    If talking about who had the strongest feelings with regards to Ye Yuan��s strength, it was none other than him.


    ��This battle indeed didn��t let this old man down! I didn��t expect that Grandmaster Ye stepped into half-step Ancestor Realm at a young age, truly envying this old man to death!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan lamented.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Chaoyuan doesn��t need to be envious. With your strength, you��ll eventually step into Ancestor Realm in the future!��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan suddenly laughed out loud, saying, ��Hahaha �� this old man has never doubted this! This battle, this old man has reaped great benefits. This trip wasn��t in vain. The rest no longer have any meaning. Brother Pilljade, Brother Flutterfeather, this old man will be going back to enter closed-seclusion and will bid farewell here!��


    Done talking, he did not wait for everyone to say anything, directly stepping into the void.

 Chapter 2040 - Structure Changes

    The furnace had yet to be opened, but everyone already had an idea about the results in their hearts.


    Before this, no one would feel that Ye Yuan could really defeat all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods and sit on the seat of grandmaster.


    But now, Ye Yuan used his fearsome strength to refresh everyone��s understanding.


    ��He �� He really did it! Truly inconceivable! A Six-star Alchemy God actually swept across all the Seven-star Alchemy Gods!��


    ��If Empyrean Pilljade doesn��t make a move, there��s likely no one who can do anything to him in this land of Southern Border, right?��


    ��Truly terrifying talent! Could it be that this Heavenspan World is really going to produce a second Medicine Ancestor?��


    ��


    Recalling the scenes of Ye Yuan battling in alchemy, everyone still felt like they were dreaming.


    That was not some new rising Alchemy Dao star, he was already standing at the summit of the Southern Border��s alchemy world!


    Surpassing Empyrean Pilljade was likely just a matter of a twinkling of an eye.


    No one doubted that Ye Yuan would step into Ancestor Realm!


    Ancestor Realm required countless years of accumulation to others. But to Ye Yuan, it did not seem distant.


    Didn��t he also just spend more than a short thousand years�� time to reach this step today?


    In the crowd, Yun Yi��s face was full of a bitter smile.


    When he heard that Ye Yuan was this season��s Cloudpill Summit��s grandmaster, his first reaction was refusing to accept it.


    He, Yun Yi, was Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson. His alchemy talent was unparalleled. He only used 3000 years and broke through to the Dao Realm.


    Even those Dao Realm geniuses in the Cloudpill Summit this time also used at least 5000 years and above.


    All geniuses paled in comparison in front of him.


    He believed that the day would come when he would be able to reach Empyrean Pilljade��s height and become the apex of this Southern Border.


    But all this pride was crushed into smithereens in front of Ye Yuan.


    In front of Ye Yuan, what did Empyrean Pilljade count for?


    Those geniuses who had once attempted to challenge Ye Yuan had even more shameful looks because of their unworthiness.


    Ye Yuan was not using Ning Siyu as a shield at all. He was really disdainful to take action against juniors.


    That was an insult to a grandmaster!


    Would Empyrean Pilljade, Empyrean Flutterfeather, Empyrean Chaoyuan, these people, accept the challenge of a junior?


    Obviously not!


    Ye Yuan��s maidservant, Ning Siyu, was the one in the same generation as them.


    While Ye Yuan was a big shot on equal footing with the Southern Border��s pinnacle-most alchemy masters!


    ��Brother Pilljade, I wonder if this Ye has the qualification to sit in this grandmaster seat now?�� Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Pilljade and said nonchalantly.


    Empyrean Pilljade had an awkward look. Forcefully squeezing out a smile, he said, ��Of course you��re qualified! Grandmaster Ye really broadened this Empyrean��s horizons today!��


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Ye Yuan slowly sat on the grandmaster seat.


    While at this time, his seat was already arranged next to Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    Clearly, this represented that his status already towered above the other five great holy lands�� masters!


    In the plaza, all gazes were focused on Ye Yuan.


    What kind of glory was this!


    After Ye Yuan took his seat, Empyrean Pilljade appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, ��Cough, cough, Grandmaster Ye��s title is fully deserving. Since Grandmaster Ye has proved his strength, then the Cloudpill Summit this time will officially ����


    ��Wait a minute!�� Right at this time, Empyrean Flutterfeather suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted Empyrean Pilljade��s words.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Is there something else, Younger Brother Flutterfeather?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a faint smile, ��Since this Cloudpill Summit is so lively, why don��t we let it a little livelier? I wonder what��s your opinion, Brother Pilljade?��


    Empyrean Pilljade smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��Your words, are you challenging this Empyrean?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a faint smile, ��It��s impolite not to reciprocate since Brother Pilljade questioned this Empyrean��s sincerity toward the Cloudpill Summit. Due to this, I, Flutterfeather, naturally have to seek justice for Ye Yuan. Does Brother Pilljade dare to have a battle?��


    Talking until the back, the aura on Empyrean Flutterfeather��s body suddenly erupted, like a sharp sword that was about to be drawn; not revealing the sharp edge, but the sharp sword suspending high above carried a powerful confidence of who but myself could do it?


    Empyrean Pilljade chuckled and said, ��In this land of Southern Border, no idea how many years it has been since anyone has challenged this Empyrean. Fine, as you wish!��


    The plaza burst into an uproar!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was actually going to challenge the Southern Border��s kind, Empyrean Pilljade!


    Who did not know that Empyrean Pilljade was the only Ancestor Realm powerhouse among the Southern Border��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods?


    Where did Empyrean Flutterfeather get the guts?


    The Empyreans present also had surprised faces, clearly not expecting that Empyrean Flutterfeather was so resolute.


    He was clearly standing up for Ye Yuan. But was he Empyrean Pilljade��s match?


    Everyone knew that Empyrean Flutterfeather was a rising star, and he was also once the Southern Border��s number one genius, his light dazzling.


    But for so many years, Empyrean Flutterfeather had always been suppressed by Empyrean Pilljade.


    As for why, everyone had an idea in their hearts.


    Empyrean Pilljade felt threatened!


    Suddenly, everyone thought of a possibility. Each and every one of them opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.


    Could it be that this Southern Border��s alchemy world was going to change rulers?


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a faint smile, ��Brother Pilljade agreeing so readily, don��t forget our Southern Border Alliance��s agreement!��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face changed and he said with a cold smile, ��Even if you really broke through to Ancestor Realm, would this Empyrean lose to you?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said coolly, ��Talk is cheap. Let��s showcase our true abilities!��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s figure leaped, landing on the ring.


    Empyrean Pilljade gave a cold snort, striding with his hands behind his back, and similarly landing in the ring.


    ��Don��t say that this Empyrean is bullying you. You decide the medicinal pill!�� Empyrean Pilljade said with a proud look.


    As the Southern Border��s number one person, Empyrean Pilljade had his pride.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said, ��Heavenly Center Nine Lives Pill then!��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s pupils constricted and he said, ��You indeed broke through?��


    The refining difficulty of rank seven divine pills was tremendous. Without Dao Realm strength, one could basically only refine level one or two medicinal pills.


    And level nine and above medicinal pill, without Ancestor Realm strength, it could not be refined at all.


    This Heavenly Center Nine Lives Pill was a kind of level nine medicinal pill!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather choosing this medicinal pill clearly showed that he already stepped into the Ancestor Realm!


    ��Huhu, speaking of which, this still have to thank Younger Brother Ye. Without him, I��m afraid that it will be difficult to break through even if given another 100 thousand years too!�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a smile.


    ��What? Empyrean Flutterfeather really stepped into the Ancestor Realm? Then doesn��t this mean that a second Ancestor Realm powerhouse appeared in our Southern Border?��


    ��Empyrean Flutterfeather stepping into Ancestor Realm is actually related to Ye Yuan!��


    ��My God, why is this Ye Yuan so monstrous? An Ancestor Realm, a half-step Ancestor Realm, looks like this Southern Border alchemy world��s structure is really going to change.��


    ��


    Hearing this news, the plaza broke out into a commotion!


    The Myriad Treasure Tower suddenly having an additional Ancestor Realm and a quasi-Ancestor Realm, their alchemy strength would soar greatly.


    This Southern Border alchemy world was no longer the Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s world.


    What surprised people, even more, was that Empyrean Flutterfeather breaking through to the Ancestor Realm was actually because of Ye Yuan.


    It could be said that Ye Yuan made the Southern Border completely change rules with his power alone!


    Empyrean Pilljade gave a cold snort and said, ��Even if you broke through to the Ancestor Realm, you also merely just entered the Ancestor Realm. Do you really think that you��ve cornered this Empyrean? This Empyrean will let you take a look at the true strength of the Ancestor Realm!��

 Chapter 2041 - : Dual Dragons Reappearing!

    A desolate-like aura spewed forth from Empyrean Pilljade��s body.


    This aura was stronger than everyone��s previously, including Ye Yuan.


    Facing Empyrean Pilljade was like facing the Heavenly Dao.


    That kind of ever-constant changes of the world, that kind of changes in season, was displayed in its entirety at this moment.


    ��This is Ancestor Realm?�� Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Pilljade and said ponderingly.


    This was the pinnacle realm of alchemists, the peak of Alchemy Dao!


    Even Ye Yuan also yearned immensely for this kind of realm.


    Empyrean Pilljade reached his hand out and beckoned. A pile of rank seven spirit medicines instantly turned to grains of powder and flew into the empyrean spirit treasure. An incomparably solid yellow light ball gradually spread out, enveloping over toward Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    ��This is Empyrean Pilljade��s Lingxiao Heaven Transformation Art. Legends have it that when cultivated to the limit, it can refine the firmament; capable of doing anything. Seeing it today, it indeed lives up to its reputation.��


    ��Well-deserving of being the Southern Border��s number one Alchemy Dao person. This kind of strength simply makes people unable to give rise to the courage to battle! Empyrean Flutterfeather was too impulsive, even if he stepped into Ancestor Realm, how can he possibly be Empyrean Pilljade��s match?��


    ��This is the Ancestor Realm? Indeed extraordinary! I feel like my Alchemy Dao is akin to an ant in front of him.��


    ��


    Forget about the Southern Border, even in the entire Heavenspan World, someone in the Ancestor Realm was also a very rare existence.


    Even to those Seven-star Alchemy Gods, they rarely see Ancestor Realm powerhouses take action too.


    There were even many Seven-star Alchemy Gods who had not seen Empyrean Pilljade take action before.


    Empyrean Pilljade being an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, he himself was a legend.


    But today, the legend actually took action in front of everyone!


    Everyone stared at Empyrean Pilljade without moving their gazes, fearful of missing any detail.


    This kind of experience was extremely valuable to everyone.


    ��Flutterfeather, you��re asking for humiliation by challenging this Empyrean! Don��t you forget as well, once you lose, Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital will have to offer up 50% of the medicinal pills share!�� Empyrean Pilljade said with a cold smile.


    ��Relax, this Empyrean naturally won��t repudiate a debt,�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said coolly.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, somewhat uncertain what it meant.


    He originally thought that this was just an ordinary Alchemy Dao sparring. Looking at it now, it was not the case.


    ��Brother Purplewing, wonder what they are talking about means?�� Ye Yuan asked Empyrean Purplewing.


    Empyrean Purplewing smiled bitterly and said, ��This is a long story. This Cloudpill Summit is indeed the superb place for alchemists to interact. But it��s also an important venue to carve up profit!��


    It turned out that the seven great holy lands�� masters formed a Southern Border Alliance, and Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital claimed the seat of alliance chief because of Empyrean Pilljade.


    These seven great peak holy lands divided up more than 70% of the Southern Border��s medicinal pills and spirit medicine trade.


    One had to know, medicinal pills and spirit medicines were hugely in demand among martial artists, the profits being tremendous.


    Especially to holy lands that possessed powerhouses in the grand completion Dao Realms, their statuses were impregnable.


    The seven great holy lands agreed back then to take the Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital as the head.


    Between holy lands, if they wanted more territory and share, they would battle it out in the Cloudpill Summit.


    However, Empyrean Pilljade��s status was transcendent, and he had always commanded the six cities with the identity of alliance chief.


    Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital also occupied 40% of this 70%, while the other 60% were divided up by the other six parties.


    Concerning the territorial division of the six great holy lands, they could only use 10% of their own each time as the wager. The victor gained 10%, the loser lost 10%.


    But because the other six parties had similar strengths, after many Cloudpill Summits, the six parties�� strengths were actually still more or less the same.


    Logically speaking, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s strength was the greatest and Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s territory should be the most. But Empyrean Pilljade frequently hammered Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital with the status of alliance chief. Hence, Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s share was a little lesser than the other five parties instead.


    It was also precisely because of this that Empyrean Flutterfeather was still quite resentful toward Empyrean Pilljade.


    However, wanting to challenge the alliance chief, one had to use 50% of their own share as the wager. This was a massive transaction.


    If won, Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital would soar to the sky with one leap, becoming the alliance chief. Cloudpill Summit would also change names to Lustrous Gold Summit.


    If lost, Myriad Treasure Tower��s share in the Southern Border would reduce greatly.


    Only after hearing this entirely did Ye Yuan know that there were still so many methods to profit during this Cloudpill Summit.


    ��Sure enough, everyone comes swarming in for profit; everyone goes running everywhere for profit. It turns out that this Southern Border��s territory has long been divided up!�� Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    He finally understood why Empyrean Pilljade would target him.


    Two grand completion Dao Realm grandmasters appeared in the Myriad Treasure Tower. Furthermore, it was a grandmaster that could break through to the Ancestor Realm like him. The pressure on Empyrean Pilljade was too great!


    Empyrean Realm Pilljade smiled bitterly and said, ��Yeah! Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda stands aloof from worldly things. The ones truly operating in these secular affairs are still the various great imperial capitals. And the status of an alchemy holy land is comparable to the other great imperial capitals, even a notch higher. However, I still feel that Brother Flutterfeather is too rash! Even if he broke through to the Ancestor Realm, he��s likely not Pilljade��s match too!��


    ��Huah!��


    Purplewing��s voice had yet to fade when two dragon roars shot to the sky, incurring a wave of exclamations!


    That was right, it was two.


    Two divine dragon phantoms intertwined and crisscrossed, producing an incomparably strong undulation.


    Once the aura rose, it was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Empyrean Pilljade!


    Two great Ancestor Realm powerhouses went blow for blow, not giving an inch.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s aura was actually standing up to Empyrean Pilljade as equals!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help laughing.


    ��Huhu, Brother Purplewing rest assured. This match, Brother Flutterfeather will definitely win!�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    This scene in front of him, Ye Yuan was extremely familiar. Wasn��t it the scene of him battling with Empyrean Flutterfeather in alchemy back then?


    But this scene before his eyes was much weaker than the alchemy battle back then.


    This was not that Empyrean Flutterfeather��s strength was weak, but that the resonance the two of them triggered at that time was too strong!


    Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather��s resonance was absolutely not one plus one equals two that simple, but a certain strong chemical effect that was produced.


    This kind of intense resonance even surpassed Ancestor Realm!


    One had to know, the medicinal pills that the two of them refined, in the end, were both end spirit divine pills!


    End spirit divine pills, even the Ancestor Realm Empyrean Pilljade could not refine it at all too.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather clearly obtained tremendous inspiration in that battle, that was how he broke through to the Ancestor Realm in one stroke.


    Furthermore, by relying on this dual dragon power, even though he just entered the Ancestor Realm, his strength did not lose to Empyrean Pilljade in the slightest.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression was extremely ugly. He completely did not expect that Flutterfeather, this newbie who just entered the Ancestor Realm, would actually be so strong!


    Those two dual dragons added radiance and beauty to each other as if weaving a massive cage between heaven and earth, causing tremendous pressure to Empyrean Pilljade.


    Two great Ancestor Realms having a fierce struggle while evenly-matched, vying with each other, it lasted for a full three days�� time.


    During these three days, the air of the entire Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital was surrounded by auspicious omens. With light radiating everywhere, the scene was incomparably gorgeous.


    ��Condense!��


    ��Condense for me!��


    The two great Ancestor Realms also cried out in unison, the condensing of the pill was successful!


    Everyone held their breaths, impatiently wanting to see the result of this battle.


    The five great holy lands�� masters walked up to the platform at the same time and opened the furnaces to examine the pills.


    ��Empyrean Pilljade, vast spirit divine-grade!��


    ��Empyrean Flutterfeather, vast spirit divine-grade!��

 Chapter 2042 - : Alchemy Intent Resonance

    ��Hiss �� this is Alchemy God? Rank seven divine pill, vast spirit divine-grade, truly terrifying strength!��


    ��It��s both vast spirit divine pills, could it be a tie?��


    ��In my view, it��s still Empyrean Pilljade who��s a level higher! After all, he��s a veteran Ancestor Realm powerhouse!��


    ��


    Both people being vast spirit divine pills immediately caused a wave of marveling.


    To be able to refine a level nine difficulty rank seven divine pill to vast spirit divine-grade, the might of Ancestor Realm could be seen at a glance.


    When pills reached rank seven, the difficulty and complexity would soar.


    Hence, these two great Ancestor Realm powerhouses also used three days and three night��s time before they finished refining the Heavenly Center Nine Lives Pill.


    As for who won and who lost, everyone debated without ceasing.


    Although the two people were evenly-matched in strength, Empyrean Pilljade��s accumulation was clearly a little thicker. Hence, more people felt that Empyrean Pilljade would win.


    Empyrean Pilljade stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Empyrean Flutterfeather with a proud look as he said, ��You breaking through to the Ancestor Realm indeed surprised this Empyrean greatly. However �� you��re still a little too inexperienced in the end! This match, you lost for sure!��


    Empyrean Realm Flutterfeather smiled faintly and said, ��You��ve been in this position of alliance chief for too many years and have long already lost your former edge. How fired up with boundless enthusiasm was the Empyrean Pilljade back then? Hacking your way through all obstacles along the way, defeating countless geniuses, stepping into Alliance Chief. It��s just a pity that he who sits too high to be touched for too long. You��re already afraid of being challenging and afraid of failure. Hence, you��re destined to lose!��


    Empyrean Pilljade gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, ��What a joke! This Empyrean has entered the Ancestor Realm for as long as 100 thousand years already, standing right at the absolute summit and viewing how small the mountains are! Why would I be scared of failure? Would I be afraid of challenges? Because no one can make me fail at all!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a faint smile, ��Is that so? How��s the result, five fellow daoists?��


    At this time, the expressions of the five great holy lands�� masters were very odd.


    Seeing Empyrean Flutterfeather inquired, Empyrean Blazing Sun let out a slight sigh and said, ��The two of your medicinal pills�� qualities are extremely high, being rarely seen in the world! It��s just that �� Brother Flutterfeather��s medicinal pill is still a notch better!��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face changed drastically. His two eyes glared and he said in a fierce voice, ��Impossible! He merely just entered the Ancestor Realm, how can he possibly win me?��


    Empyrean Luoshui also sighed lightly and said, ��Brother Pilljade, the quality of your medicinal pill is indeed extremely high, but Younger Brother Flutterfeather��s medicinal pill already approaches end spirit divine-grade! In terms of quality, it wins by that slight trace!��


    The other three people also ruled unanimously.


    After all, the quality of medicinal pills was clear at a glance. It was also impossible for them to resort to deception in broad daylight.


    Empyrean Pilljade had a face full of disbelief. Rushing in front of the two medicinal bottles with a lunge, his divine sense sank inside swiftly.


    With this probing, his face could not help changing greatly.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s medicinal pill was really that tiny hint better than his.


    Although it was just a tiny bit, he ultimately lost.


    ��How is it possible? How is this even possible?�� Empyrean Pilljade had a battered out of his senses look, clearly not believing this result.


    And some alchemists that worshiped him as God similarly did not dare to believe it.


    ��Lord Pilljade �� actually really lost?��


    ��How can this be? Even if Empyrean Flutterfeather broke through to the Ancestor Realm, he��s also 100 thousand years later than Lord Pilljade. So how can he possibly win just like that?��


    ��Sigh, the end of an era!��


    ��


    Yes, an era was over just like this!


    The era belonging to Empyrean Pilljade already ended. Empyrean Flutterfeather��s era was currently arriving.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled faintly and said, ��Why does Brother Pilljade think that this Empyrean would hand this grandmaster token to Younger Brother Ye Yuan? Could it be that it��s merely appreciating his talent?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s gazes all gathered on Ye Yuan, full of stunned looks.


    No one would have thought that at this time, Empyrean Flutterfeather would actually bring up Ye Yuan. Could it be that the key figure that influenced this battle of the century was actually Ye Yuan?


    Empyrean Pilljade��s entire body trembled and could not refrain from looking towards Ye Yuan once more, full of astonishment.


    Empyrean Realm Flutterfeather continued to say slowly, ��Back then, when this Empyrean fought with Ye Yuan, it could be said as encountering a rare bosom friend who can appreciate me, and this actually produced the effect of conjugal harmony. With the two of our powers, we each refined an end spirit divine pill! It��s also because of this that this Empyrean finally took this last step, achieving Ancestor Realm.��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s pupils constricted, his eyes full of aghast as he said in disbelief, ��Alchemy intent resonance!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled slightly as he said with a nod, ��That��s right, it��s precisely alchemy intent resonance! Therefore, you know why you lost, right?��


    ��Alchemy intent resonance? What��s that?��


    ��Yeah, never heard of it before!��


    ��But it sounds very impressive.��


    ��


    The vast majority of the alchemists in the plaza were very perplexed because they had never heard of this term before.


    Only those experienced Seven-star Alchemy Gods radiated brilliant light from their eyes, showing strong yearning.


    Empyrean Luoshui sighed lightly and explained, ��The so-called alchemy intent resonance is referring to when two people are evenly-matched in an alchemy battle, and reach a kind of wondrous resonance state. Under this state, the two people��s thoughts and feelings about Alchemy Dao will far surpass their own strength, unleashing double, or even several times the power from there. It��s just that this kind of state is too rarely-seen, so it��s not commonly known by people.��


    When saying this, Empyrean Luoshui also had an enraptured expression on his face.


    Even for Ye Yuan, it was also his first time hearing of alchemy intent resonance this sort of thing.


    The others all revealed astonished faces, feeling that it was incredulous.


    Alchemy battle was a mutual suppression process. The medicinal pills refined tend to not be their peak standard.


    But Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather actually helped each other achieve their aim, each out-performing themselves, even each breaking through their realms. It was truly incomparably miraculous.


    This time, everyone finally understood why Empyrean Flutterfeather would hand the grandmaster token to Ye Yuan.


    He had confidence in Ye Yuan, and it was also because in order to thank Ye Yuan.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression flickered incessantly. He guarded against Empyrean Flutterfeather in every way but did not expect that Ye Yuan, this kind of variable, appeared.


    Alchemy intent resonance!


    This was a state that was extremely hard to appear. It was the same as having a sudden epiphany.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather kept that alchemy intent resonance firmly in mind. When the dual dragons reappeared, that was how he defeated him, this veteran Ancestor Realm.


    ��Brother Pilljade indeed has an awe-inspiring view from a high place, but you don��t view how small the mountains are. You��re afraid of other people rising up, worried that you��ll have a powerful opponent. But the more you��re like this, the faster you��ll lose,�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said coolly.


    Empyrean Pilljade snorted coldly and said furiously, ��It��s not up to you to lecture this Empyrean! This time, this Empyrean admits to his bad luck! The next Cloudpill Summit, this Empyrean will claim it back with interest!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled when he heard that and said, ��Brother Pilljade��s words are not correct. The next session won��t be the Cloudpill Summit, but it is the Lustrous Gold Summit!��


    Empyrean Pilljade could not help choking when he heard that. Snorting coldly, he flicked his sleeves and left.


    Everyone exchanged glances. No one would have thought that an opening performance would actually wind up in such a manner.


    This way, the Cloudpill Summit��s main act actually concluded in advance.


    However, to the alchemists in the plaza, their time was just starting.

 Chapter 2043 - Peak Alchemy Meet

    In the plaza, several tens of thousands of genius alchemists were in the midst of fierce battles.


    The Cloudpill Summit was an alchemy grand gathering. Each time, there would be a batch of geniuses that flooded forth, becoming everyone��s focal point.


    This time was no exception either.


    The moment Yun Yi took the stage, it made the group of geniuses pale in comparison.


    With his strength that just entered Dao Realm, it was akin to like a crane standing out among chickens in this kind of alchemy battle. The opponent did not have any strength to fight back at all.


    ��Tsk tsk, barring no accidents, Yun Yi will be the number one of this Cloudpill Summit��s Six-star Alchemy God group. He��s well-deserving of being Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson, calling him the number one alchemy genius isn��t in vain!��


    The moment Yun Yi made his move, the onlookers were not stingy with their praises.


    It was just that these words sounded so ear-piercing in Yun Yi��s ears.


    Number one genius?


    Truly satire!


    Did you all forget Grandmaster Ye? He isn��t even half of my age!


    Although Yun Yi understood that there was already no one who put Ye Yuan in this generation to appraise, his proud heart seemed to be pricked. He was unable to feel at ease.


    Actually, his pressure was not just Ye Yuan but also involving another person.


    This person was Ning Siyu.


    Ning Siyu did not participate in the Five-star Alchemy God group, but she took part in the Six-star Alchemy God group!


    Her strength already had no need to take part in the Five-star Alchemy God group anymore.


    Since the start of the matches, Ning Siyu left people far behind in the dust and already cut down numerous Six-star Alchemy Gods.


    Many of them were all seeded contestants that were fixed before the match.


    Including Yun Yi, all the Six-star Alchemy Gods felt a never-before pressure.


    This Ning Siyu was just a measly little maidservant of Ye Yuan��s!


    Could it be that a maidservant was also going to replicate her master��s battle achievement that looked down upon the world?


    ��My God, truly incredible! That Ning Siyu actually defeated Hua Tianqiang! That��s the Qiunan��s Hua Family��s number one genius!��


    Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from the crowd.


    Clearly, there was a new battle report that came over again.


    Upon hearing Ning Siyu��s name, Yun Yi��s breathing blocked up, some unsteadiness actually appeared in his control of the flame.


    The opponent was currently being pressured until he could not catch his breath. This interval immediately let him see a trace of hope.


    It was just that he did not know how intense the shock in Yun Yi��s heart was currently.


    Hua Tianqiang was the alchemy ancient family, the Hua Family��s top genius. In terms of strength, he was an existence that could rank in the top ten in the Six-star group too.


    Now, he actually lost to a Five-star Alchemy God little girl!


    ��Grandmaster Ye is truly remarkable. A little maidservant of his actually has such terrifying strength.��


    ��Heh, I��ve already understood the situation, this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is merely a barren land. Its rise is also merely something that happened in the recent several hundred years. How can this kind of place have any genius? This is also to say that Ning Siyu only used a few short hundred years under Grandmaster Ye��s guidance, and then she reached grand completion Initial Realm! This kind of means is simply inconceivable!��


    ��What did you say? Several hundred years to groom a grand completion Initial Realm? Then given time, wouldn��t this Ning Siyu surpass Young Master Yun Yi?��


    ��


    Before this, no one would go and pay attention to what kind of place Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was at all.


    But many days had passed, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s background was dug out very quickly.


    Southridge, this kind of remote place, normally, no one would go and pay attention at all.


    They also did not believe that Southridge would produce what unparalleled genius.


    It was absolutely impossible for Ning Siyu this kind of bumpkin to have much strength before encountering Ye Yuan.


    But in just a short few centuries, a grand completion Initial Realm powerhouse already rose up.


    Giving Ning Siyu another few hundred, or even a thousand years�� time, surpassing Yun Yi this Southern Border��s number one genius might not be impossible.


    What did this show?


    This showed that not only was Grandmaster Ye��s own strength fearsome to the extreme, his ability to teach disciples was also rarely seen in the world!


    A barren Southridge, Ye Yuan even brought up Ning Siyu this kind of powerhouse. Then if it were these geniuses?


    Thinking up to here, everyone��s goosebumps welled up.


    For some time, hearts rippled.


    ��


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know the thoughts of the several tens of thousands of alchemists outside, he was currently participating in the Peak Alchemy Meet at this time.


    The Peak Alchemy Meet was the main show of the titans.


    Bang!


    Empyrean Pilljade suddenly smacked the table and stood up, saying furiously, ��Brat, your appetite is also too big! Even if you��re half-step Ancestor Realm, you��re also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. You actually asked for 50% the moment you open your mouth?��


    One had to know, the share that Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital controlled was also merely 40%.


    The other Empyreans also revealed unhappy looks, clearly feeling that Ye Yuan��s appetite was too big.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan saying coolly, ��With our Myriad Treasure Tower��s strength, what��s the problem with occupying 50%? Since this Cloudpill Summit has always determined the victor with alchemy battles, then why don��t we each place our bets and carry on battling in alchemy?��


    The group of Empyreans could not help nearly fainting in anger when they heard that. Your Myriad Treasure Tower had an Ancestor Realm and a half-step Ancestor Realm, who could beat you guys in alchemy battles?


    Empyrean Pilljade smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then if �� this Empyrean doesn��t agree?��


    Ye Yuan looked toward Empyrean Pilljade and said expressionlessly, ��If you don��t agree, then why not dissolve the partnership then? At that time, every one of us, each will rely on their own ability. It also wouldn��t be to an extent of quarreling endlessly like now.��


    ��You!�� Empyrean Pilljade nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Before the Cloudpill Summit appeared, the Southern Border��s alchemy world could be said to be in the warring states era, feudal kings in a tangled warfare.


    Several dozen medicinal pill shops would even appear in the same place, belonging to different factions.


    At that time, everyone unleashed everything in their arsenal in order to vie for territory. Things naturally could not dispense with price wars.


    In the end, everyone made huge losses.


    Only all the way until the holy land alliance appeared was there today��s situation.


    Everyone had their own territories and developed with peace of mind, and could all earn divine essence stones, everyone was happy.


    If the partnership was dissolved, then the Southern Border would definitely enter the warring states era once more.


    At that time, who could block the Myriad Treasure Tower��s footsteps?


    One had to know, the Myriad Treasure Tower was like a parasite, setting up all over the entire Heavenspan World.


    It was precisely this contract that restricted the Myriad Treasure Tower��s development.


    Of course, this was also because the Myriad Treasure Tower did not have Ancestor Realm alchemists.


    But now, the Myriad Treasure Tower had an Ancestor Realm alchemist. Furthermore, there was even an additional alchemist who was about to step into Ancestor Realm.


    If the partnership was dissolved, the consequences would be too dreadful to contemplate.


    ��Our Myriad Treasure Tower has one Ancestor Realm and a half-step Ancestor Realm, but only occupy 50% of the share, is it very overboard? If we really dissolve the partnership, I believe you all also know the consequences. Moreover, I still have more than ten kinds of new medicinal pills in my hands. The medicinal effects are at least 30% stronger than the medicinal pills on the market. Once I throw them in, what will you all use to block?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept, overflowing with overbearingness.


    This Peak Alchemy Meet was a bunch of alchemists lining up and dividing the fruits here.


    How to allocate, it was naturally distributed according to strength.


    ��More than ten kinds of medicinal pills? Heh, who are you scaring?��


    ��Do you really think that new pill formulas are a wholesale market, a big bunch with one grab?��


    ��


    The group of Empyreans snickered unceasingly.


    But a hint of glimmer flashed across in Empyrean Lumen��s eyes. He sighed and said, ��What Grandmaster Ye says is likely the truth! With his understanding of Alchemy Dao, remodeling the current medicinal pills is likely �� as easy as turning his hand over!��


    ��WHAT?!��


    Everyone was stricken with fear!


    Empyrean Lumen naturally would not talk through his hat. Those present also all knew that Ye Yuan had once reconstructed a pill formula.


    Could it be that this kid still had such terrifying deducing ability?

 Chapter 2044 - Choosing One’s Master

    In the end, the Myriad Treasure Tower got 50% of the share, and 10% of it was naturally Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s.


    A puny little imperial city carved out 10% of the Southern Border��s profits. This was also the first time in the history of the Southern Border.


    However, these Seven-star Alchemy Gods did not have any opposition against it.


    The trump cards in Ye Yuan��s hands were too many!


    Once the partnership was really dissolved, what they were about to suffer would be a destructive blow.


    Ye Yuan and the Myriad Treasure Tower teaming up was simply without any weaknesses to exploit.


    As for the remaining things, it had nothing to do with Ye Yuan. This was a battle of attrition that dragged on for a long time and would last for as long as several months.


    In this period, the Cloudpill Summit was also being held like a raging fire.


    In a blink, half a year already passed. The Peak Alchemy Meet finally bet the gongs as the signal to end. The various major forces also gained their territories and shares.


    The seven great factions still left people far behind in the dust, occupying more than 70% of the Southern Border��s profits.


    The remaining 30% was divided up by other Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    But this arrangement of 70% had major changes presently.


    Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s territory was reduced drastically. Hence, they extended their fiendish claws towards the other factions, hoping to be able to make up for it.


    The other five great holy lands naturally also shrunk considerably.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower naturally became this Cloudpill Summit��s biggest winner.


    More importantly, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City became a faction that could not be overlooked, rising domineeringly.


    One had to know, 70% were divided about among the seven major factions, with the Myriad Treasure Tower occupying 40% of the total market share and Heavenly Eagle occupying 10%. The remaining 50% needed six major factions to divide among themselves.


    With Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s domineeringness, they naturally occupied more, taking 20% in the end.


    Then the other five major factions only had 30% remaining out of the total 70%.


    This was also to say that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City became the number three major faction after Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital and Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital!


    After Ye Yuan learned about the significance behind this Cloudpill Summit, he naturally had some thoughts about it too.


    For Heavenly Eagle to want to rise up, resources were indispensable.


    If Ye Yuan relied on just himself alone to refine pills, even if he refined for a lifetime, what would be gained would also be limited and could not support the operation of a holy land at all.


    The Cloudpill Summit this time provided a huge opportunity for him.


    One should not look at how there was only 10%. The profits involved were simply unimaginable.


    With these profits, Heavenly Eagle��s rise would be inevitable.


    And this half a year��s time, Ye Yuan��s great reputation also thoroughly erupted, spreading throughout the entire Southern Border.


    Everyone knew that the Southern Border produced a remarkable grandmaster!


    When Zheng Qiyuan heard this news, he sat in the hall of his own home for a whole ten days and ten nights. He did not even move an inch.


    After ten days, he walked out of the hall, his hair already completely white.


    Then, he issued an order, the Zheng Family was to move toward the north and leave the Southern Border!


    This news caused a great sensation for some time.


    When the news spread to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the whole city rejoiced.


    Their lord refreshed their understanding once more.


    Although they all knew that Ye Yuan was very impressive previously, they did not have a clear idea of his strength.


    But now, Ye Yuan defeated 99% of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods in the Cloudpill Summit.


    This battle achievement was �� seriously too dazzling!


    But right at this time, the curtains also fell on the Cloudpill Summit.


    In the end, Yun Yi still obtained first place.


    But the most dazzling was not Yun Yi. It was Ning Siyu!


    Ning Siyu overcame all the difficulties along the way, finally obtaining the result of fourth place.


    While the top three were all Dao Realm powerhouses!


    Ning Siyu��s ranking did not have any surprises in itself. She was long universally accepted as the number one person under Dao Realm.


    Obtaining the ranking of fourth matched her fame.


    What made people��s jaws drop was Ning Siyu��s final battle. Her opponent in that battle was the third place Dao Realm powerhouse, Empyrean Blazing Sun��s grandnephew, Yang Yi.


    In this battle, Ning Siyu unleashed Alchemy Dao strength that was beyond imagination and actually forced Yang Yi into desperate straits at one point.


    During the whole process of the alchemy battle, the two people fought until they were evenly-matched.


    This fight stunned everyone!


    One had to know, Ning Siyu was just at the grand completion Initial Realm, while Yang Yi was at the Dao Realm!


    For Ning Siyu to be able to have such strength, it could be seen how solid her Alchemy Dao foundation was.


    For some time, Grandmaster Ye��s prestige went up a level!


    While at this time, the Cloudpill Summit only had two last things remaining. This referred to the two things that all participants paid the most attention to: grandmasters accepting disciples, as well as grandmasters preaching on Dao!


    The Six-star group��s and Five-star group��s top 20 had the qualifications to choose a grandmaster to acknowledge one as their master.


    Of course, that also depended on whether the grandmaster would take them in or not.


    At this time, 14 grandmasters were seated up on the high platform, overlooking the plaza.


    14 virtual images were displayed in the plaza, representing 14 grandmasters.


    At this time, an Empyrean powerhouse slowly said, ��Now, the Five-star group��s top 20, step forward and choose your desired grandmaster. This Empyrean knows that many among you are descendants of Empyreans. But the master acknowledgment in this Cloudpill Summit is your massive lucky chance! You all can set your minds at ease and choose your master. Your elders won��t mind! But you all have to remember, you only have one chance to pick.��


    Those Five-star disciples had excited looks on their faces. To be able to acknowledge a grandmaster as their master, this was absolutely their great lucky chance.


    Even their seniors were also far too lacking compared to grandmasters!


    ��Alright, those names that are called by this Empyrean, step out of the ranks in proper order and choose your grandmaster! The first, Luo Tianqi.��


    Luo Tianqi was the first place of the Five-star group this time, his strength being quite impressive.


    In past sessions, when the first place took the stage, they would basically rush over to Empyrean Pilljade.


    As for whether to take in or not, that would depend on Empyrean Pilljade��s mood.


    But this time, there was Empyrean Flutterfeather this Ancestor Realm powerhouse. Empyrean Pilljade finally could not hold back anymore.


    ��Luo Tianqi, this Empyrean regards you very favorably. Come to this Empyrean��s side. This Empyrean will definitely make a special effort in grooming you. In the future, your strength definitely won��t lose to Yun Yi,�� Empyrean Pilljade opened his mouth and said.


    He was very confident. He was after all an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, and he even opened his gilded mouth.


    As long as one was not a fool, they would enter his tutelage.


    Although he lost this time, the prestige accumulated over several hundreds of thousands of years was not for show.


    So many years, the alchemy powerhouses that walked out of Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital were too many to count.


    It was just that this time, he miscalculated.


    Luo Tianqi gave a bow toward Empyrean Pilljade and said, ��Many thanks for Lord Pilljade��s showing of appreciation. This child is being seized with fear! It��s just that �� this child already has a grandmaster that he admires in his heart, truly sorry.��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face changed and was just about to open his mouth, but then he saw Luo Tianqi actually walk straight toward Ye Yuan��s virtual image amidst the surprise of all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    He actually did not pick Flutterfeather?


    Seeing that it was Ye Yuan, Empyrean Pilljade also let out a sigh in relief.


    This vying of talents was also an important matter.


    After all, a massive holy land was not propped up by him alone.


    As long as they did not pick Empyrean Flutterfeather, then there was no problem.


    The Empyrean presiding over was also slightly surprised. But he did not take it to heart and continued, saying, ��Second, Li Qing.��


    Originally, Empyrean Pilljade totally looked down on this second place.


    It was just that this situation was somewhat special, so he still opened his mouth.


    ��Li Qing, this Empyrean can accept you as a disciple!�� Empyrean Pilljade opened his mouth and said.


    Li Qing had an apologetic look as he bowed and said, ��Many thanks for Lord Pilljade��s showing of favor, it��s just that �� this lowly one already has a choice in his heart.��


    Finished talking, Li Qing also walked toward Ye Yuan without the slightest hesitation.

 Chapter 2045 - Choice

    ��What��s going on here? Two of them rejected Empyrean Pilljade in a row. This isn��t surprising, but why did they all go to Ye Yuan there?��


    ��In the past sessions, everyone all racked their brains, wanting to go under an Ancestor Realm��s tutelage.��


    ��Empyrean Flutterfeather defeated Empyrean Pilljade, and they actually did not pick him either?��


    ��


    A series of curious voices came from the Empyrean seats.


    Luo Tianqi and Li Qing��s action was seriously perplexing.


    As for Empyrean Pilljade, his face was already black as the bottom of a pot.


    When had he, the exalted Southern Border��s number one person, lowered himself to take the initiative to go and recruit disciples?


    Today, he opened his mouth twice in a row and was actually rejected!


    This old face was really thrown until his grandmother��s place this time.


    But what made them more surprised was still at the back.


    Third place!


    Fourth place!


    ��


    All the way until the eighth place, they actually all chose Ye Yuan!


    The group of grandmasters could not sit still anymore. When the ninth place stepped out of the ranks, Empyrean Blazing Sun immediately opened his mouth and said, ��Zhou Yunhao, come to this Empyrean here, this Empyrean will do everything to guide and take care of you.��


    Empyrean Windrider also opened his mouth and said, ��Zhou Yunhao, the disciples under this Empyrean are presently all powerhouses that can take charge of a region alone. If you follow this Empyrean, you��ll surely be able to rise head and shoulders above others in the future.��


    Apart from these two, the others also opened their mouths one after another.


    Zhou Yunhao stood there, his face looking hesitant, but his eyes kept looking over toward Ye Yuan there non-stop.


    Everyone was secretly surprised in their hearts, the grandmaster that this Zhou Yunhao favored was clearly Ye Yuan too.


    Just what magical powers did this Ye Yuan have, to actually be able to make these geniuses abandon Ancestor Realm powerhouses and choose him?


    Very soon, apart from the two Ancestor Realm powerhouses, the other grandmasters expressed their stands one after another, promising great benefits, attempting to recruit Zhou Yunhao.


    Only Ye Yuan alone kept his mouth shut and did not speak. It was as if these had nothing to do with him at all.


    Ye Yuan was clear in his heart that these summit��s geniuses were only like this because they saw Ning Siyu��s breathtaking performance.


    As long as one was not a fool, they would be able to tell that Ye Yuan had the right way of teaching disciples. He was far stronger than those so-called Ancestor Realm powerhouses.


    After hesitating slightly, Zhou Yunhao chose Ye Yuan.


    With this, the group of Empyreans was really shocked.


    Some grandmasters even swallowed their pride already and made very heavy promises, but Zhou Yunhao still picked Ye Yuan!


    Next, the ninth place!


    Tenth place!


    ��


    20th place!


    The Five-star group��s top 20 actually all chose Ye Yuan.


    The eyeballs of the powerhouses on the grandmaster seats and Empyrean seats were almost bursting out.


    It was still the first time this kind of sight appeared in previous Cloudpill Summits.


    After all, in the past, even if there was Empyrean Pilljade this Ancestor Realm powerhouse, many geniuses ranked towards the back all had the self-awareness and knew that it was impossible to be chosen. So they picked other grandmasters.


    But this time, 20 people actually chose Ye Yuan without exception!


    This kind of shock was too intense.


    Even Empyrean Flutterfeather also looked towards Ye Yuan with a stunned look, eyes full of doubt.


    It was not that he was jealous. It was just surprising.


    One had to know, he defeated the Southern Border��s number one person, Empyrean Pilljade, in front of everybody��s faces. Not a single genius actually picked him.


    ��This �� Just why is this?��


    ��Unable to understand! Truly unable to understand! Even if he��s peerlessly talented, he��s also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. His realm did not reach the Ancestor Realm either. But why didn��t a single person pick Pilljade or Flutterfeather, the two great Empyreans?��


    ��Could it be that these little fellows�� brains collectively went brain-dead?��


    ��


    Those Empyrean powerhouses could not hold back the doubts in their hearts, discussing animatedly.


    To these Seven-star Alchemy Gods, taking in disciples was just a small thing, the truly important matter was the Peak Alchemy Meet.


    As for the Cloudpill Summit, they at most understood a little about which geniuses were more dazzling this time.


    How could they have thought that the actions of these young geniuses were actually because of a little girl?


    The Empyrean presiding over was full of shock. It was still his first time encountering such a situation.


    He sucked in a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, and opened his mouth once more and said: ��Next, Six-star group, Yun Yi.��


    Six-star group, Yun Yi slowly stepped out of the ranks.


    Everyone knew that the true main show had arrived.


    After all, no matter how strong the Five-star group was, they were also just Five-star. They still needed a long time to nurture.


    But the Six-star group was different, these geniuses were already powerhouses that could take charge as chief at a front.


    As long as groomed properly, becoming Seven-star Alchemy Gods in the future was virtually a sure bet.


    Even those grandmasters also all pulled themselves together anew, planning on making a move to vie.


    As for Yun Yi, they completely could not be bothered to care.


    He was Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson. If one used the buttocks to think, one would also know that he would choose Pilljade. The others naturally would not rack their brains in vain.


    ��Yi-er, come over,�� Empyrean Pilljade slowly opened his mouth and said.


    As he said, he even gave Ye Yuan a proud glance.


    Just some Five-star brats, so what even if there were none?


    It was sufficient that he, Pilljade, had Yun Yi this great-grandson of his.


    Yun Yi was the junior that he liked the most, his talent in alchemy crushing his peers.


    Of course, apart from Ye Yuan this kind of freak.


    But Yun Yi did not walk toward Empyrean Pilljade��s virtual image, but stood on the spot, wavering and not advancing.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s brows furrowed. His voice became deeper as he said again, ��Yi-er?��


    At this time, everyone��s gazes were gathered on Yun Yi.


    During each session��s Cloudpill Summit, the Six-star group��s first place were all the target that the various major factions fought for.


    This time, because it was Yun Yi, so everyone kept silent.


    But looking at this situation now, something was not quite right!


    Suddenly, Yun Yi sucked in a deep breath and directly knelt down toward Empyrean Pilljade and said, ��Ancestor, forgive my crime. Yi-er wishes to enter Ye Yuan��s tutelage. I hope that Ancestor can fulfill my wish!��


    ��WHAT?!��


    Empyrean Pilljade suddenly stood up, his eyes full of disbelief.


    Forget about other people choosing Ye Yuan; now, even his biological great-grandson actually chose Ye Yuan? How could he not be shocked?


    Not just Empyrean Pilljade, everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, looking at Yun Yi in disbelief.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson actually chose his sworn enemy, Ye Yuan. How could this not surprise them?


    ��You �� You unfilial child!�� Empyrean Pilljade pointed at Yun Yi. His entire body was trembling, clearly already furious to the extreme.


    Yun Yi had a calm look as he said, ��Ancestor, Grandchild is unfilial. But I hope that Ancestor can understand Grandchild��s pursuit of Alchemy Dao.��


    Finished talking, Yun Yi walked toward Ye Yuan��s virtual image without the slightest hesitation, standing at the forefront.


    No mocking, no sarcasm; Yun Yi��s action shocked everyone.


    With Yun Yi��s action, how the choices next already did not have the slightest suspense.


    The top 20 of the Five-star and Six-star groups, a total of 40 people, were all standing in front of Ye Yuan��s virtual image.


    It was actually empty without a single soul in front of the other 13 grandmasters�� virtual images.


    The plaza was deathly silent.


    Everyone��s gazes were focused on Ye Yuan.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly got up. Amidst everyone��s gazes, he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Siyu.��


    Ning Siyu was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, and directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded and said, ��In these thousand years, you followed me to refine pills and waited on me. Today, I��ll take you in and officially take you in as a disciple. Are you willing?��

 Chapter 2046 - Ye Yuan’s test

    ��Disciple is willing! Disciple Ning Siyu pays respect to Master!��


    Ning Siyu had wild elation on her face, directly kneeling down toward Ye Yuan.


    When she lifted her head again, Ning Siyu��s eyes already brimmed over with hot tears.


    Ever since witnessing Ye Yuan��s breathtaking Alchemy Dao back then, Ning Siyu was deeply subdued by Ye Yuan.


    Xuan Yu already could not teach Ning Siyu, so changing masters was long already due.


    Except, how could wanting to enter Ye Yuan��s tutelage be such an easy thing?


    Cultivating by Ye Yuan��s side these many years, she did her best, wanting to catch up to Ye Yuan��s footsteps, wanting to obtain Ye Yuan��s approval.


    It was just a pity that the gap between Ye Yuan and her became bigger and bigger.


    All the way until today, she finally obtained Ye Yuan��s acknowledgment, so how could Ning Siyu not cry with joy?


    ��It turns out that �� Ning Siyu was really just Grandmaster Ye��s maidservant!��


    ��A measly little maidservant already has such terrifying strength. Grandmaster Ye��s ability in teaching apprentices is truly remarkable!��


    ��Sigh, it��s a pity that I couldn��t enter the top 20. Otherwise, I��ll definitely have to try. If I can become Grandmaster Ye��s disciple, that would really be soaring to the sky with one bound!��


    ��


    In the plaza, several tens of thousands of gazes were gathered on Ning Siyu, envious to the extreme.


    As for those 39 people, they were flustered beyond envy.


    They did not know whether Ye Yuan would choose them or not, but they were willing to bet.


    Once chosen by Ye Yuan, that would be soaring to the sky with one bound.


    Since Ye Yuan was certain to step into the Ancestor Realm in the future, then what difference was there between choosing Ye Yuan and choosing an Ancestor Realm powerhouse?


    On the grandmaster seats, Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head, accepting this kowtow calmly, then slowly opened his mouth and said, ��As for the rest, all disperse.��


    Everyone��s faces abruptly changed, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    ��Grandmaster Ye, this �� this �� please reconsider!�� Luo Tianqi said with unwillingness.


    Yun Yi clenched his jaws tightly, similarly with a look of unwillingness.


    He required tremendous courage to stand here.


    But Ye Yuan did not even give him a trace of chance.


    The others opened their mouths one after another, all wanting to persuade Ye Yuan to change his mind.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said impatiently, ��Noisy!��


    Everyone��s faces changed one after another, all shutting their mouths.


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��If getting a place in the rankings can make you qualify to enter my tutelage, do you all think that Siyu will wait until today? Don��t mention this matter again!��


    Ji Canglan��s incident left behind an indelible mark on Ye Yuan��s body. Hence, he would naturally rather go without than make do with something shoddy.


    Ye Yuan did not doubt these people��s talents, but what has it got to do with him?


    However great the talent, they were also just strangers to him.


    These 39 people��s faces were ugly to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan completely did not play the cards according to normal style!


    In past periods, these geniuses were all very in-demand.


    One should not look at how those grandmasters had a reserved manner. In reality, they valued the summit��s top few places very highly.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not even take a look.


    The group of grandmasters looked at this scene dumbfoundedly with their tongues tied. The geniuses that they could not even beg to come over, Ye Yuan actually cast them aside like a pair of worn-out shoes.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this kind of place that suddenly rose up newly, what was most important were talents.


    If Ye Yuan rounded them all up with one fell swoop and took all of these geniuses into his door, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s strength would surely skyrocket.


    Did this guy figure out the situation or not?


    In the crowd, a person suddenly knelt down. When everyone looked, who could it be if not Yun Yi?


    He kowtowed toward Ye Yuan and said with an austere look, ��Grandmaster Ye, as long as I can enter your tutelage, Yun Yi is willing to do anything. Yun Yi only requests that Grandmaster Ye can give a chance.��


    Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression was livid. This kind of situation was what he completely did not expect.


    His own descendant did not take him as master but wanted to go under other people.


    Forget that he wanted to enter other people��s tutelage, the other person did not even appreciate it.


    Forget that Ye Yuan did not appreciate it, Yun Yi even had to go and beg him.


    Where would his old face go?!


    ��Yun Yi? If I didn��t remember wrongly, you��re Brother Pilljade��s descendant?��


    Yun Yi��s expression could not help stiffening as he said with a nod, ��Yes, Lord Pilljade is Yun Yi��s great-grandfather!��


    Ye Yuan looked toward Yun Yi and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Then if I make you break off all relations with Empyrean Pilljade, can you do it too?��


    Once these words came out, everyone��s countenance changed visibly.


    This move of Ye Yuan was too vicious!


    Empyrean Pilljade even stood up quickly, pointing at Ye Yuan and saying furiously, ��Ye Yuan, you��re too much!��


    But Ye Yuan��s expression did not change and he said coolly, ��I already said that I��m not taking in disciples. It��s him who wanted to enter my tutelage. I��m just stating my terms, as for whether or agree or not, it will depend on him.��


    Finished talking, he looked toward Yun Yi and said coolly, ��How about it?��


    But Yun Yi shook his head and said, ��Ancestor��s kindness of love and care is higher than the heavens. It��s impossible for Yun Yi to betray Ancestor. Your Excellency, please change your conditions!��


    When Empyrean Pilljade heard that, his face revealed a smug look and he said with a cold smile, ��My Yun Family��s good grandson! Ye Yuan punk, don��t you think about sowing discord between us great-grandfather and great-grandson!��


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Empyrean Pilljade, but looked at Yun Yi and said smilingly, ��If I only have this condition?��


    Yun Yi sucked in a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, ��If it��s like this, Yun Yi would rather not acknowledge you as a master. Farewell!��


    Finished talking, Yun Yi clasped his hands toward Ye Yuan and left without even turning his head back.


    ��If you want to acknowledge me as your master, go to the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s Pill Tower yourself. Put down all of your identities, and be a little medicine boy. Maybe one day, I��ll consider it.��


    Just as Yun Yi turned around and left, Ye Yuan suddenly said lazily.


    Yun Yi��s entire body trembled. Turning around, he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said doubtfully, ��Grandmaster Ye, is �� is this true?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you had any look of hesitation on your face just now, there would be no chance. Entering my lineage, conduct is number one, disposition is number two, and talent is only ranked third. If a person who can betray even his ancestor, what is he if not an ingrate?��


    Yun Yi looked toward Ye Yuan in incredible shock, only then knowing that it turned out Ye Yuan was testing him.


    If he was really moved earlier, he would lose this only chance instead.


    Yun Yi prostrated toward Ye Yuan and said with pleasant surprise, ��Disciple pays respect to Your Excellency. Yun Yi will go to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City right away!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.


    Yun Yi knelt down in front of Pilljade too and said, ��Ancestor, Grandchild is unfilial, but Grandchild wants to seek his own Alchemy Dao. Grandmaster Ye is the best choice! I know that Ancestor is doubtful, but if you understand Ning Siyu��s battle achievements, it will all be clear!��


    Finished talking, Yun Yi directly turned around and left without even turning his head back, leaving behind everyone with stunned faces.


    Brilliant rays of light shot out of Luo Tianqi��s eyes and he also knelt down and said, ��Your Excellency, can you also give Tianqi a chance?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You all, those who are willing can all go. But you all have to think properly and be prepared. This test isn��t easy to pass.��


    When everyone heard that, they were overjoyed.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he just laughed mockingly in his heart.


    These people were also looking down on his test too much. They were all young masters of influential families, so how could they endure this kind of hardship?


    He reckoned that having 10% that could stay would already be pretty good.

 Chapter 2047 - Where Are the People?

    Ning Siyu��s particulars were placed in front of the group of Empyreans very soon.


    Everyone was rendered speechless.


    A female Five-star Alchemy God could actually fight on par with initial-stage Dao Realm powerhouses.


    This kind of strength was simply outrageous to hear.


    Wasn��t this Ning Siyu a junior version of Ye Yuan?


    With this, the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods finally understood why these geniuses all wanted to choose Ye Yuan.


    How could a barren place like Heavenly Eagle have some unparalleled genius? This Ning Siyu was definitely groomed by Ye Yuan!


    At the very most, Ning Siyu merely followed Ye Yuan for a thousand years�� time but had such strength. It was truly dreadful to hear.


    Everyone looked toward Ye Yuan like seeing a ghost. This guy �� was truly a freak!


    Empyrean Pilljade somewhat understood Yun Yi now. This great-grandson of his had an obsession with Alchemy Dao that normal people found hard to understand.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan, this major power, how could Yun Yi not be moved?


    If Yun Yi could really acknowledge Ye Yuan as master, it would also be a good thing to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    Although he did not want to admit it, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s talent was indeed greater than his.


    Now that he already lost to Flutterfeather, along with the passage of time, the likelihood of winning would be lower and lower.


    But Yun Yi��s potential was far from exhausted. Once developed by Ye Yuan, surpassing Empyrean Flutterfeather in the future was also not something impossible.


    Except �� could Yun Yi really pass Ye Yuan��s test?


    This season��s Cloudpill Summit��s disciple recruitment ended in such a theatrical style.


    Apart from Ning Siyu, the other 39 people directly left Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital afterward and sprinted for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Following that, the curtains were drawn for the grandmasters�� preaching on the Dao that had a duration of half a month.


    A total of 14 locations was set up in the city, provided for 14 grandmasters to preach on the Dao.


    Grandmasters preaching on the Dao could be said to be a welfare benefit. All of the alchemists in the city could choose the grandmaster that they admired in their hearts, and listen to the sermon, without any restrictions.


    Lin Tong was a Five-star Alchemy God from a remote imperial city. He hurried over to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital from a great distance just to listen attentively to grandmasters preaching on the Dao.


    He did not have the qualifications to enter the inner-city to watch the Cloudpill Summit. The reason why he came to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital was for the sake of this final grandmaster sermon.


    In the outer-city, he also became acquainted with some people of the same profession and agreed to go and listen to grandmasters preach on the Dao.


    ��Lin Tong, which grandmaster��s sermon do you plan on listening to?�� The one talking was called Song Zichun, a good friend that Lin Tong made in this period of time.


    Lin Tong said without the slightest hesitation, ��Is there still a need to ask? Of course it��s Empyrean Pilljade! He��s an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, the Southern Border��s number one person!��


    Song Zichun chuckled and said, ��Southern Border��s number one person? Your intel is really out-of-touch! Empyrean Pilljade lost to Empyrean Flutterfeather this time. The title of Southern Border��s number one person already changed owners!��


    Lin Tong��s eyes opened wide and he said in disbelief, ��Empyrean Pilljade is an Ancestor Realm powerhouse! How can he possibly lose?��


    Song Zichun had the intention of showing off as he said with a smile, ��You don��t know it yet, right? Empyrean Flutterfeather came prepared this time. He already broke through to Ancestor Realm. Furthermore, he defeated Empyrean Pilljade under the watchful gazes of everyone. The next Cloudpill Summit will be changing its name to be called Lustrous Gold Summit!��


    ��T-There��s actually such a thing?�� Lin Tong said in surprise.


    It was very hard for them all, these bottom-level martial artists, to get the inner-city��s information. It tended to be inquired from scraping together what everyone had.


    Song Zichun had some connections in the inner-city, so the intel that he obtained was still considered more accurate.


    Song Zichun said smugly, ��Heh, although Empyrean Flutterfeather defeated Empyrean Pilljade, their light during this Cloudpill Summit was overshadowed by another person.��


    Lin Tong was shocked by this series of information until he stared dumbfoundedly with his mouth gaping. He said blankly, ��Could it be that �� there��s still an existence even stronger than these two mighty Ancestor Realms?��


    ��Huhu, not to the extent of being stronger, but him surpassing these two mighty Ancestor Realms in the future wouldn��t be something hard.�� Song Zichun said with a laugh.


    Lin Tong let out a sigh in relief and said with a smile, ��Looks like a remarkable genius emerged in this Cloudpill Summit.��


    Many geniuses would appear in each Cloudpill Summit, this was not at all surprising. Lin Tong naturally would not take it to heart.


    But Song Zichun smiled disdainfully and said, ��Cloudpill Summit? Huhu, among all the juniors participating, this lord that I��m talking about is just a Third Firmament True God, also a Six-star Alchemy God. He��s an existence who already surmounted above all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods and became a grandmaster! Not just that, all top 40 geniuses in this Cloudpill Summit wanted to acknowledge him as their master!��


    Lin Tong��s expression became more exciting towards the back.


    After Song Zichun finished saying, he chuckled and said, ��Brother Song, you��re also exaggerating too much. A Six-star Alchemy God surmounted above all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods? How is this possible?��


    When Song Zichun saw that Lin Tong did not believe, he just smiled coldly and said, ��Whether believe it or not, that is up to you. Either way, I��m planning on going to listen to Grandmaster Ye��s sermon, farewell!��


    Seeing Song Zichun leave, Lin Tong laughed in spite of himself and shook his head.


    Song Zichun blew his trumpet a little too hard. It was totally impossible for people to believe.


    Actually, it was not just Lin Tong. The alchemists in the city presently were no fewer than several hundreds of thousands. They completely did not believe that a Third-firmament True God could make two great Ancestor Realms be cast into the shade.


    When the grandmaster sermons started, Ye Yuan��s sermon site had the lowest count. There were only a scanty few several thousand people.


    Most of these several thousand people were very young. They were all alchemists that participated in the Cloudpill Summit.


    Preaching on Dao was different from alchemy battles in the end. No matter how strong Ye Yuan��s strength was, his accumulations were also not as long as other grandmasters.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was just a Six-star Alchemy God after all.


    Hence, everyone did not have much faith in his preaching on the Dao.


    To many alchemists, this was an opportunity that only came by once every several thousand years. They were naturally not willing to waste it on a grandmaster who was young until it made people doubt.


    When Lin Tong saw the ocean-like alchemists around him, he was immediately greatly reassured in his heart.


    Song Zichun that fellow was definitely bragging. Maybe he��s also here listening to Empyrean Pilljade preach on the Dao himself. If that young grandmaster is really so formidable, everyone also wouldn��t come and listen to Empyrean Pilljade preaching on the Dao,�� Lin Tong thought in his heart.


    On the first day of the sermon, Lin Tong was wholly enraptured listening to it.


    Ancestor Realm powerhouses were Ancestor Realm powerhouses, the experience and knowledge, the preaching on the Dao, absolutely surmounted all life.


    Lin Tong��s alchemy strength was already considered very strong in the surrounding imperial cities. But his strength had already come to an end.


    A measly little imperial city was already unable to let him improve further.


    By chance, he heard the news of the Cloudpill Summit and rushed over to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital without the slightest hesitation.


    Now, hearing Empyrean Pilljade��s sermon, it made him have a feeling of being amidst cloud and mist.


    That sort of feeling made him feel like he might break through at any time.


    Heh, this is the strength of an Ancestor Realm powerhouse! This sermon might be my opportunity to break through! Lin Tong thought, being incomparably certainly in his heart.


    But right at this time, very soft discussions suddenly came from around him.


    Lin Tong��s brows furrowed, and he turned his head, wanting to express his displeasure.


    When an Ancestor Realm powerhouse was preaching on Dao, they actually did not pay attention and were whispering to one another below.


    But upon turning his head, he was immediately stunned.


    Where were the people?

 Chapter 2048 - Empty Alleys

    Lin Tong listened very attentively and did not notice the situation behind him.


    But upon turning his head, he could not help but be filled with surprise.


    Behind him, the crowd that was originally in great numbers actually disappeared without a trace.


    ��That Grandmaster Ye is incredible. I heard that during his sermon, many people broke through on the spot.��


    ��Yeah, I heard that Grandmaster Ye��s sermon explained profound theories in simple terms. He made it very easy to understand.��


    ��Sigh! I really had my eyes blinded by pig oil, to actually not go and listen to Grandmaster Ye��s preaching on the Dao!��


    ��Many people have already gone over! Let��s hurry and go over.��


    ��Then what are we still waiting for? Hurry up and go over!��


    Those few people discussed and got up and were about to leave.


    When Lin Tong heard the few people discussing, he was incredibly shocked in his heart and secretly wondered if the Grandmaster Ye from these few people��s mouths was the Grandmaster Ye that Song Zichun spoke of.


    Seeing the few people leave, Lin Tong hurriedly stopped them and whispered, ��Fellow Daoists, who is the Grandmaster Ye that you guys were talking about just now?��


    The few people looked at Lin Tong with eyes like looking at a freak as one of them said, ��You don��t even know about Grandmaster Ye?��


    Lin Tong smiled bitterly and said, ��Fellow Daoist, please tell me.��


    The other person said, ��Grandmaster Ye is the youngest grandmaster in the Southern Border��s history, the youngest half-step Ancestor Realm. In this alchemy summit, he suppressed 99% of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods with his power alone until they submitted! You��ve actually never heard of his great name before? Not talking to you anymore. I��ve already been stuck at the initial-stage Initial Realm for many years. Perhaps after listening to Grandmaster Ye preach on Dao, it will suddenly dawn upon me.��


    Done talking, that person left without even turning his head back, leaving behind the Lin Tong with a stunned face.


    Song Zichun was actually not bragging!


    But how was this possible?


    Song Zichun said that this Grandmaster Ye was only less than 1500 years old. He actually stepped into becoming a half-step Alchemy God and overpowered 99% of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods?


    This �� This was simply a figure in mythological stories!


    If it was merely like this, then forget it; it had nothing to do with him no matter how strong Ye Yuan was either.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s preaching on the Dao actually let many people break through on the spot. This was too incredible!


    Lin Tong harbored complicated feelings and slowly got up and walked over in the direction where Ye Yuan was preaching on the Dao along with the crowd.


    Along the way, Lin Tong discovered that more and more people were currently gathering in the same direction.


    ��This �� This is too inconceivable! Can a thousand over years old young man really have such great rallying power?�� Lin Tong was still somewhat doubting.


    ��


    The Tianyue Plaza at the south-west was a very remote plaza of Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    The plaza was very small and could only accommodate several tens of thousands of people.


    Lin Tong could not move anymore after he walked halfway, because in front of him was packed full of people.


    On the roofs, on the pavilions, there were figures everywhere.


    Although the numbers were many, the entire plaza appeared extremely quiet, a pin drop could be heard.


    There was only a voice that seemed slightly immature in the plaza, transmitting over slowly.


    Just hearing a few sentences, Lin Tong��s figure suddenly trembled, akin to being enlightened, all the pores in the body opening up.


    ��This �� This �� No way! I have to hurry up and find a place!��


    Lin Tong��s eyes swept all around hastily and discovered that it was already overcrowded.


    Helpless, he came to a slightly far-off rooftop with a few leaps.


    ��Eh, Lin Tong?�� Suddenly, a mosquito-like voice came over.


    Lin Tong had a look of surprise as he said, ��Song Zichun? You �� Why are you here?��


    Who could this person be if not Song Zichun?


    It was just that, didn��t Song Zichun come long ago? Why would he be in such a remote place?


    Song Zichun had a bitter smile on his face as he said, ��The places in front are all occupied by major families�� disciples. I was originally at a place very close to Grandmaster Ye. Now, I was forcefully squeezed out.��


    Finished talking, Song Zichun switched to an amused smile and said, ��Didn��t you not believe my words, saying that I was bragging? Since you turned your nose up at Grandmaster Ye, what did you come here now for?��


    Lin Tong��s expression was very awkward. But he recollected his thoughts very quickly and could not be bothered to argue with Song Zichun.


    He wanted to listen to Ye Yuan��s preaching on the Dao!


    Although he had only heard a few sentences, Lin Tong discovered that Grandmaster Ye��s sermon was totally different from Empyrean Pilljade��s.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s sermon was akin to clouds, seeming near, but in reality far away.


    But Grandmaster Ye��s sermon was akin to revolving around him. It was within reach!


    This kind of feeling was like there was a pair of invisible big hands hastening the influence, letting them understand Alchemy Dao.


    ��Heh, looking at your appearance, you should have discovered the difference of Grandmaster Ye��s sermon, right? I only listened for a day and already broke through!�� Song Zichun said with a smug look.


    When he saw the expression on Lin Tong��s face, how could he not understand what the other party was thinking?


    When he first started listening, his expression was exactly the same as Lin Tong��s.


    With this, Lin Tong could not resist visibly changing his countenance anymore.


    ��What? You �� you already broke through?�� Lin Tong said in shock.


    Song Zichun��s strength was similar to his. He was also at the peak initial-stage Initial Realm, just a step away from reaching the middle-stage Initial Realm.


    It was just that this step was far too difficult for them.


    But Song Zichun only listened for a day and already broke through the shackles. How could this not surprise Lin Tong?


    Song Zichun chuckled and said, ��That��s right! Among those 5000 people that came first, there were at least 300 people that broke through on the spot.��


    Lin Tong was already unable to use words to describe the shock in his heart. This Grandmaster Ye was too amazing!


    He sucked in a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, and started listening to Ye Yuan��s preaching on the Dao, and he entered a profound and mysterious state very soon.


    ��


    Empyrean Pilljade looked at the sharply declining numbers, his brows furrowing.


    This kind of sermon did not restrict the venue. People that were willing could go to several venues within half a month.


    But, in the past, his audience normally had more than 100 thousand people. But now, there were less than 30 thousand people.


    And the numbers were still declining.


    How keen was the divine sense of Empyrean powerhouses?


    He could feel that the people who left were all heading in the southwest directly.


    That place was precisely the place where Ye Yuan was preaching.


    Furthermore, Empyrean Pilljade even discovered that it was not just him, but the numbers of people at other grandmasters�� sermons were also reducing sharply.


    The alchemists in the city were practically all gathered towards the southwest corner.


    ��Just how terrifying is this kid?��


    Toward Ye Yuan, Empyrean Pilljade presently only had a word to describe his sentiment: convinced!


    Ever since the Cloudpill Summit started, Ye Yuan suppressed Empyreans, seized territories, and took in geniuses. Now, he also drew all of the alchemists in the city into his preaching field.


    He felt that the Cloudpill Summit this time was simply held for Ye Yuan.


    Although Empyrean Pilljade looked down on these ordinary alchemists, he also understood that these people were not fools. It was impossible to all go to Ye Yuan there without any rhyme or reason.


    Ye Yuan��s sermon definitely had areas different from others.


    No, it was not just different from the rest, but it had magical power.


    The other 12 grandmasters, inclusive of Empyrean Flutterfeather, had the same thoughts as Empyrean Pilljade without prior conversation.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather looked in the southwest direction and smiled bitterly in his heart as he said, ��I thought that I already overestimated this kid. I didn��t expect that �� I still underestimated him!��


    On the third day of the sermon, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital had empty alleys. All of the alchemists listening attentively to the sermons all gathered at the southwest corner.


    It was densely packed with crowds around Tianyue Plaza.

 Chapter 2049 - Sea of Law

    ��Turns out it��s like this! Turns out that it��s like this!��


    In the crowd, Lin Tong��s eyes became brighter and brighter. It was as if clouds and mist were scattering away in the dark night, with stars lighting up.


    Listening attentively for a day and night, he suddenly saw the light like pushing away the clouds to see the moon.


    The confusion in the past was cleared away by Ye Yuan little by little.


    Lin Tong gradually discovered that Grandmaster Ye��s sermon was totally different from Empyrean Pilljade��s.


    The things that Empyrean Pilljade talked about were vague and insubstantial. After listening, one would feel that it was very impressive. But after carefully experiencing it, they would discover that it could not be understood at all.


    But the things that Grandmaster Ye talked about seemed to be tailor-made for him.


    Where the Dao was, the meaning could be understood, but it could not be expressed with words.


    No matter how high the realm, how powerful the strength was, if the things expressed were not correct, others could not understand at all either.


    And Ye Yuan was just like a teacher who was well-versed in teaching methods, analyzing Alchemy Dao with penetrating criticism.


    Especially to these bottom-level alchemists, it was even more beneficial.


    Regarding preaching on the Dao, Ye Yuan did not do anything if he was not preaching, but as long as he began lecturing, he would prepare seriously.


    Since those that came to listen to the lecture were mostly initial-stage and middle-stage Initial Realm alchemists, the content that he talked about was targeted at this demographic.


    To the current Ye Yuan, this kind of content was very simple and easy to understand. Expressing it was naturally very smooth too.


    But when others listened, it was like Great Dao Heavenly Melody, being filled with wisdom.


    The aura on Lin Tong��s body got stronger and stronger. A mysterious aura of Dao gradually descended upon his body.


    ��Mn? Hang on, what a mysterious aura! This �� What��s going on here?��


    Lin Tong was greatly alarmed in his heart because he felt that the surrounding law undulations were too powerful.


    He currently felt like the sky had fallen.


    Boundless power of law surrounded him. It was like he fell into the ocean of Alchemy Dao.


    Beyond the surprise, Lin Tong was more wildly elated.


    Seeing such vast Alchemy Dao law was like entering a treasure mountain to him, so how could he return empty-handed?


    Hence, he frenziedly wanted to collect these Alchemy Dao laws!


    Lin Tong listened very attentively. He did not discover at all that the current Tianyue Plaza scattered out with Ye Yuan as the center, and was already densely packed full of figures.


    This was an ocean of several hundreds of thousands of people!


    And among these people, there were many people who were the same as Lin Tong, all stuck at one point for many years, being unable to advance an inch.


    During this period of several days�� time, many people��s realms that did not move for many years finally broke through the shackles after listening to Ye Yuan��s sermon.


    The plaza where Empyrean Pilljade was at did not have a single figure anymore.


    He also stopped preaching and entered meditation.


    But at this time, his two eyes suddenly snapped out, shooting out rays of brilliant light, gaze staring fixedly at the southwest corner.


    A boundless and vast power of law descended from the sky, enveloping the entire Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    Even separated so far away, Empyrean Pilljade also vividly felt that boundlessness.


    This vast power of law was extremely horrifying. Even when he broke through to the Ancestor Realm back then, it was also just a drop in the ocean compared to this.


    ��This �� This is the Sea of Law descending?�� Empyrean Pilljade said in astonishment.


    Suddenly, his figure moved, vanishing from where he was.


    At the east side of the great imperial capital, the plaza in front of Empyrean Flutterfeather was similarly stark empty.


    Suddenly, his eyes went wide, looking in the southwest direction with an astonished face.


    ��This is ����


    Empyrean Flutterfeather muttered a sentence under his breath, his figure moving, immediately disappearing from where he was.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    The grandmasters�� figure virtually all disappeared at the same time.


    It was not just them. How could the Seven-star Alchemy Gods in the city not sense this vast power of law? All of them hurried over toward Tianyue Plaza.


    ��Flutterfeather, I��m afraid that this child �� isn��t what your Myriad Treasure Tower can contain!�� Empyrean Pilljade said calmly without even turning his head.


    Although his words were calm, the shock in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was calm as he said, ��That doesn��t need Brother Pilljade to worry about.��


    Empyrean Pilljade gave a cold snort and stopped speaking.


    ��This �� This is Sea of Law! Alchemy Dao��s Sea of Law! I didn��t expect that this Empyrean can actually see this extraordinary view in my remaining years! The realms of hundreds of thousands of people more or less had advancements and triggered Heavenly Dao, bringing down the Sea of Law! This kind of grand occasion is likely hard to come across once in ten million years too, right?�� Empyrean Windrider said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    ��Grandmaster Ye is well-deserving of the title of grandmaster. Previously, we actually even doubted his strength. Looking at it now, our title of grandmaster fails to live up to the title in front of him!�� Empyrean Lumen shook his head and said with a bitter smile.


    ��No wonder Grandmaster Ye can attract a full turnout of the city. His understanding of Alchemy Dao is much deeper than us!��


    The moment these words came out, the group of Empyrean secretly nodded.


    They only came here a short while. But just this short while, the things that Ye Yuan talked about, even they also felt endlessly beneficial.


    The content was superficial content.


    But the depth of Ye Yuan��s understanding was completely not what they could compare to.


    In comparison, their understanding of Initial Realm somewhat had the meaning of lapping up information without digesting it.


    An Empyrean shook his head and said, ��This kind of grand occasion, probably only the Medicine Ancestor and that demon race��s Sacred Ancestor can trigger it. It��s just that with their identities, why would they preach on the Dao to these ordinary alchemists?��


    ��Stop talking nonsense, the Sea of Law descending is a massive lucky chance for us as well! Comprehend it well!�� Empyrean Pilljade said in a solemn voice.


    Sea of Law, as the name suggested, was an ocean of law.


    How vast was Alchemy Dao? It was hard to understand one-ten-thousandth of it in a lifetime too.


    But this Sea of Law was Heavenly Dao��s blessing. It was a massive lucky chance that was hard to come by once every ten million years.


    Even if Ye Yuan preached on the Dao one more time, it would also be very difficult to trigger anymore.


    This kind of Sea of Law, even to Ancestor Realms, it was also a massive lucky chance.


    Reaching Pilljade��s level of boundary, even wanting to improve a trace was harder than ascending to heaven.


    But with the Sea of Law, they could feel Heavenly Dao in close range. Breaking through would clearly be much easier than cultivating themselves.


    The group of Empyreans turned solemn in their hearts, hurriedly recollecting their thoughts and stepping into the Sea of Law, and started comprehending Alchemy Dao.


    This Sea of Law descending, Ye Yuan naturally detected it long ago.


    This kind of major lucky chance that only came by once in a thousand years, logically speaking, he should immediately stop and comprehend laws.


    No one knew how long this Sea of Law would last.


    But he did not.


    He kept on preaching on Dao and did not stop.


    One day, two days ��


    In a blink, half a month was already up. Ye Yuan��s sermon finally ended. Only then did he shut his eyes and meditate, starting to feel the Sea of Law.


    ��Grandmaster Ye is truly trustworthy!��


    ��Grandmaster Ye actually didn��t stop preaching on the Dao for our sakes!��


    ��No can do! After this Cloudpill Summit ends, I��m going to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City immediately to repay his grace of preaching!��


    ��


    In the crowd, those alchemists were shedding tears of gratitude toward Ye Yuan.


    How much comprehension time that Ye Yuan had forsaken, they had a score in their hearts.


    Winning sincerity with sincerity, how could others not feel moved?


    But Ye Yuan did not pay attention to this. His mind and body already sunk into the Sea of Law, entering a state like an old well without ripples.


    A profound power of law revolved around him.

 Chapter 2050 - Brink of Death

    Ye Yuan felt like his divine soul became a droplet of water, merging into his Sea of Law.


    Inside the vast ocean, Ye Yuan felt that he was extremely tiny.


    But merging inside, he also felt that he looked down upon the world.


    The sight around the plaza, he felt like he could actually have a commanding view of it, like a sovereign that controlled this world.


    Even if it was ants crawling on the ground, insects swimming in the water, Ye Yuan could also see their every move and action distinctly.


    This kind of feeling was incomparably magical.


    ��This �� Could this be Ancestor Realm? No, wait! Although Ancestor Realm is miraculous, it��s absolutely impossible to reach this kind of extent.��


    Ye Yuan liked this current state a lot.


    Inside the Sea of Law, Empyrean Pilljade, Empyrean Flutterfeather, Empyrean Blazing Sun, and the rest were all comprehending laws.


    Ye Yuan could even see the current situation of the laws around him.


    Among these people, the laws flowed the fastest around Empyrean Flutterfeather. Clearly, his comprehension ability was the highest among these people.


    The next was Empyrean Pilljade.


    What Ye Yuan did not expect was that the one who was second only to these two people was actually Empyrean Lumen.


    ��Looks like Empyrean Lumen��s age isn��t that old among these grandmasters and still has potential. With his talent, with this experience of the Sea of Law, he��ll probably be able to break through to the Ancestor Realm in the future. It��s just �� a shame about Empyrean Chaoyuan. If he were still here, he��d probably be able to breakthrough on the spot.��


    But Ye Yuan discovered that no matter how he spied on them, they were unable to detect it.


    This kind of state was absolutely not what Ancestor Realm could reach.


    One had to know, these were all late-stage Empyrean Realm mighty experts. Furthermore, their divine souls were incomparably powerful. Even a trace of the rustling of leaves in the wind could not hide from their eyes and ears.


    ��Could it be that �� I��m currently spying on them through this Sea of Law? Which is also to say that I��m this area��s Heavenly Dao? The chance is hard to come by! I have to experience it carefully.��


    Ye Yuan was amazed in his heart! It was as if he had fused into one body with Heavenly Dao laws.


    He was Heavenly Dao, and Heavenly Dao was him, Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan recollected his thoughts and started comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    Time flew by quickly. In a twinkle, a month went by.


    The group of Empyreans opened both eyes in succession, withdrawing from a meditative state, regretful looks on their faces.


    With this comprehension, they each gleaned considerable benefits.


    But this kind of comprehension was limited in the end. Their realm was not there yet, indulging in the Sea of Law for a long time would make them blow up and die.


    No matter how strong Empyreans were, they were also not stronger than Heavenly Dao.


    This level of Sea of Law was like an inexhaustible nourishing liquid.


    Drinking a bit could make people full.


    But drinking too much, one would probably be excessively nourished by it and even potentially stuffed themselves to death.


    But these powers of laws were already sufficient for them to digest for a very long time.


    As for those alchemists that listened attentively to the sermon, they had long already withdrawn respectively.


    Their strength was not able to withstand such a vast Sea of Law at all.


    ��I ddn��t expect that this Sea of Law actually lasted for more than a month, truly seldom-seen! Mn? Ye Yuan is still comprehending?�� Empyrean Pilljade said with a frown.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan��s realm was inferior to his and should have long withdrawn.


    Flutterfeather also had a look of surprise and said in a solemn voice, ��This guy, doesn��t he understand the logic of biting off more than one can chew?��


    The group of Empyrean was also greatly surprised. They all, these Empyreans, had already withdrawn and Ye Yuan was actually still indulging inside.


    ��Brother Flutterfeather, Ye Yuan��s state seems to be somewhat amiss!�� Empyrean Purplewing warned.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s face changed. Looking over carefully, he discovered that Ye Yuan��s condition indeed seemed to be not quite right.


    The current Ye Yuan was seemingly like an empty husk, his body without any lease of life.


    ��No way! I can��t let him continue like this! I have to wake him up!��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s figure moved and entered the Sea of Law once more, attempting to wake Ye Yuan up.


    But right at this time, a bolt of lightning the size of a bowl suddenly fell from above the nine heavens without the slightest signs.


    Crack, crack �� boom!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s face changed drastically, a feeling of danger immediately welling up in his heart.


    How could he dare to hesitate at all? His figure retreated explosively at once.


    Right at that instant, his figure withdrew from the Sea of Law, and the lightning suddenly dissipated. It was as if it had never appeared before.


    Came swiftly, departure was quick too.


    But Empyrean Flutterfeather��s back was already drenched in sweat.


    ��This �� Just what��s going on here?�� Empyrean Purplewing said with surprise.


    ��Looks like the Sea of Law can��t be entered. We can only pray that Ye Yuan will be safe.�� Empyrean Flutterfeather shook his head and said with a sigh.


    That lightning earlier was too terrifying. It was as if it was the might of heaven and earth.


    If he was any slower, he would likely have already turned to ashes.


    But some Empyreans that found Ye Yuan displeasing to the eyes were secretly rejoicing in their hearts currently.


    Especially Empyrean Proudcloud, the joy on his face practically could not be concealed.


    ��Heh, the evil that people bring on themselves is the hardest to bear! This punk was self-assured that his talent is exceedingly high and really thought that this Sea of Law is his home��s backyard, staying as long as he wanted to?�� Empyrean Proudcloud said with a cold smile.


    Empyrean Pilljade was also secretly delighted in his heart. But he did not show it and just said coolly, ��All disperse.��


    Time slowly trickled by, the group of Empyreans naturally would not idle away here too, each seeking place and going into closed-seclusion.


    At this time, the Cloudpill Summit already completely ended. But there were still many people gathered around Tianyue Plaza, looking at that figure on the high platform with concerned looks.


    Ye Yuan��s sermon benefited everyone. There were always some people who felt grateful. Although they could not do anything, they could still be concerned about Ye Yuan at one side.


    One day, two days.


    One month, two months.


    One year, two years ��


    In a blink, more than two years already passed. Ye Yuan sat withered on the platform just like that, with no signs of life on his body at all.


    Many people all let out deep sighs, turned around, and left.


    There were already not many people in Tianyue Plaza.


    ��Sigh, how can this be? Grandmaster Ye is so remarkably talented. Why would he die here?��


    ��We received Grandmaster Ye��s kindness, but I didn��t expect that �� he died here!��


    Everyone shook their heads and sighed. Suddenly, a voice said with a cold snort, ��Shut up! Grandmaster Ye won��t die! He must be comprehending the Heavenly Dao! There will come one day where he��ll wake up!��


    By the side, Song Zichun shook his head and said with a sigh, ��Forget it, Lin Tong. Come on, it��s already been two years! Didn��t you see that those Seven-star Alchemy Gods could only stay for more than a month in the Sea of Law too?��


    Lin Tong smiled coldly and said, ��Heh, so what? Grandmaster Ye was able to trigger the Sea of Law to descend. So how can he possibly die here? Didn��t you see that the Sea of Law is still there and didn��t dissipate? Song Zichun, if you want to go, leave. I must wait for Grandmaster Ye to wake up! Grandmaster Ye gave me a new life; not seeing him wake up, I��ll find it hard to set my mind at ease!��


    Originally, Song Zichun was Ye Yuan��s most staunch supporter.


    But along with the time getting longer and longer, Ye Yuan��s aura got weaker and weaker. Even he had no confidence anymore as well.


    Rather, it was Lin Tong who was extremely stubborn, insisting firmly that Ye Yuan did not die and must wait for him to wake up.


    Song Zichun let out a sigh, turned around, and left.


    However, things did not develop according to Lin Tong��s idea.


    This wait of his was ten years. But Ye Yuan did not show any signs of waking up.

 Chapter 2051 - The Superficiality of Human Relationships

    ��Duan Yunfei, have you trained Serene Cloud Three Hundred Hands a thousand times? You dare to slack off here?�� Yun Yi looked at the Duan Yunfei currently basking in the sun, reproaching angrily.


    Duan Yunfei was the youth surnamed Duan who ridiculed Ye Yuan back then. When choosing a master, Duan Yunfei similarly joined in choosing Ye Yuan without the slightest hesitation.


    After their group of people came to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, they joined the Pill Tower. It was just that according to Ye Yuan��s instructions, they could only become medicine boys. Disregarding these miscellaneous chores, what they cultivated were also the most basic alchemy techniques.


    To these alchemy geniuses who were arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, this was simply something that could not be tolerated.


    They had to repeatedly do some dreary things every day, there was no time to cultivate at all.


    In their view, it was completely wasting time.


    This was not tempering them at all, but making fun of them.


    In less than half a year, more than ten people left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    After a year, another seven to eight people could not endure it and left.


    These genius disciples more or less had some background.


    Later, after they heard the news of Ye Yuan��s demise, one after another left in swarms.


    Now that ten years had passed, the original 40 people only had three scanty people left.


    Apart from Yun Yi and Duan Yunfei, there was also a young man called Yang Xuan.


    Yang Xuan was the Five-star group��s 20th place, which was also the last place. But only he persisted until now.


    Even Luo Tianqi also immediately chose to leave after hearing that Ye Yuan fell.


    ��Heh, Brother Yun, if you didn��t make me stay behind, I, Duan Yunfei, would have long left! A lousy Serene Cloud Three Hundred Hands, I��ve already trained no less than several tens of thousands of times. What use is there? Moreover, Ye Yuan is already dead. Is there still meaning in continuing to persist?�� Duan Yunfei said with a disdainful face.


    Yun Yi��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Duan Yunfei, I kept on making you cultivate diligently, but you wouldn��t listen! Reading a book 100 times, the meaning can naturally be seen. Refining pills is also the same logic! If you trained in the Serene Hand Three Hundred Hands diligently, there will absolutely be a different feeling.��


    Duan Yunfei chuckled and said, ��Enough of that! Merely a rank one or two alchemy technique, what kind of different feeling can there be? You already trained diligently for ten years, but I didn��t see that your realm had any breakthrough either! Forget it, forget it! I don��t have the time to waste time here. Brother Yun, you��re really not leaving together with me?��


    By the side, Yang Xuan said, ��Brother Duan, what Brother Yun said is correct. I also didn��t expect that these foundational alchemy techniques still had such miraculous comprehensions in the past. If you cultivate diligently, it will really be different!��


    Duan Yunfei gave a cold snort and said, ��What has it got to do with you? Do you think you can call me Brother Duan? Get lost!��


    Yun Yi��s brows knitted tightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You really want to go?��


    Duan Yunfei said coolly, ��Brother Yun, it��s not that I��m criticising you, but no matter how great Ye Yuan��s talent was, he also played himself to death! Your talent is currently the Southern Border��s number one, but you want to waste your time here?��


    Yun Yi heaved a sigh and said, ��Forget it! There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles. Leave! It��s just that, hope you don��t regret it in the future!��


    Duan Yunfei smiled and said, ��Regret? How is that possible! Brother Yun, the one regretting will be you! It��s already been ten years, yet Ye Yuan didn��t even wake up. Do you feel that he can still wake up?��


    Finished talking, Duan Yunfei left with a loud laugh.


    Yang Xuan let out a sigh and said, ��Brother Yun, I really didn��t expect that you could actually persist until this step.��


    Yun Yi was somewhat lost in deep reverie. Hearing Yang Xuan said this, he smiled slightly and said, ��Is it that in your eyes, I��m just a silkpants, and that I can��t endure hardships and suffering?��


    Yang Xuan blushed. Clearly, he thought so.


    But in these ten years, Yun Yi��s actions and conduct indeed made him view him in a different light.


    He was the one among everyone who could bear the most hardships and also cultivated the most diligently.


    Even these rank one and two alchemy techniques, he had long already memorized them thoroughly, but he still practiced them again and again fastidiously,


    When everyone was about to leave, it was also Yun Yi who spoke up and urged earnestly.


    It was just that no one listened to him at all.


    Musing for a moment, Yang Xuan suddenly said, ��Brother Yun, then do you feel that �� Grandmaster Ye can really come back?��


    Yun Yi��s gaze turned intent. Heaving a sigh, he shook his head and said, ��Honestly telling you, I also don��t know!��


    Yang Xuan said in surprise, ��T-Then you��re still staying here?��


    Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��If it were five years ago, I still had some confidence that Grandmaster Ye can return. But it��s already ten years now, that side has already sent news that Grandmaster Ye��s body is already totally without any breathing. It��s completely the manifestation of not having any life force. The reason why I stayed here is that I felt that Grandmaster Ye wasn��t just testing us. He was really teaching us things. Ever since arriving at the Pill Tower, I discovered that turns out one can cultivate like this. The things that we originally overlooked are too many. Yang Xuan, I think that you also have the same feeling, right?��


    Yang Xuan nodded his head seriously and said, ��It��s indeed like so! A towering skyscraper is constructed from its very base. We think that our alchemy talent is outstanding, but we neglected the importance of foundation. I think that for Grandmaster Ye to be able to have such terrifying strength at a young age, a very large part of the reason comes from this, right?��


    Yun Yi nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too.


    In these 10 years, Empyrean Pilljade called him back many times, but he refused to go back no matter what.


    He was waiting, waiting for a miracle to appear!


    ��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather looked at the Ye Yuan inside the Sea of Law, his gaze was extremely complicated.


    ��Ye Yuan, are you really dead? This Empyrean doesn��t believe that you��ll die in this matter. But �� it��s been ten years. Why haven��t you woken up yet?�� Empyrean Flutterfeather said with a sigh.


    ��Heh heh, Brother Flutterfeather came again? It��s already been more than ten years. You still haven��t given up? This kid pried into Heavenly Dao, his divine soul has long been wiped out already. You��re actually still thinking that he can come back to life?�� Empyrean Proudcloud said with a snicker.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s brows furrowed slightly and said with a cold snort, ��Proudcloud, these few years, the few of you went against the Peak Alchemy Meet��s agreement and secretly ate Heavenly Eagle��s territory. Do you really think that my Myriad Treasure Tower is to be trifled with?��


    Empyrean Proudcloud laughed loudly and said, ��Brother Flutterfeather��s words are not right! Ye Yuan has already died. The places that Heavenly Eagle has jurisdiction over naturally became ownerless lands. Such a large territory, if those martial artists don��t have medicinal pills, how to cultivate? We��re also blessing a region by doing so, right?��


    Flutterfeather��s gaze turned slightly cold and was just about to fly into a rage when suddenly, his expression changed, gazing toward the Sea of Law in alarm.


    But Empyrean Proudcloud laughed wildly and said, ��Hahaha! The Sea of Law has started dissipating! Brother Flutterfeather, you can help Ye Yuan collect his corpse already.��


    Not far away, the Sea of Law that had been calm all along finally had activities.


    The vast power of law made the spiritual energy around Tianyue Plaza produce intense undulations.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, the winds and clouds suddenly changed. The sky gradually became dim.


    In the space where the Sea of Law was at, a violent storm suddenly swept up. Limitless heaven and earth spiritual energy closed in toward the Sea of Law frenziedly.


    Countless heaven and earth spiritual energy condensed to form a spiritual energy fog, turning corporeal!


    And this storm was formed with Ye Yuan as the center!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was wildly elated in his heart. He then laughed coldly and said, ��Collect corpse? Looks like �� there��s no need anymore! I think you��d better think about how to give an account to the alliance!��

 Chapter 2052 - All-round Breakthrough!

    ��This �� how is this possible?��


    Empyrean Proudcloud��s pupils constricted, with his expression changing wildly, looking at Ye Yuan who was at the center of the storm in disbelief.


    This kind of thing should not happen at all!


    Ye Yuan, he, was actually breaking through?


    How could a person possibly last for as long as ten years inside such a horrifying Sea of Law?


    The current Ye Yuan��s imposing aura was extremely exuberant, with his life force thriving. How was there still any appearance of a dead person?


    Ten years had gone by. There were only a scanty few people left who were still waiting for Ye Yuan to wake up around Tianyue Plaza. Lin Tong was among them.


    Seeing this marvelous sight, Lin Tong��s face showed wild ecstasy, his entire body was trembling in agitation.


    ��Hahaha! Grandmaster Ye indeed didn��t die! Indeed didn��t die! I knew that he wouldn��t die! He wouldn��t die!�� Lin Tong said with near madness.


    In these ten years, his mood fell to rock-bottom bit by bit. He even could not hold on anymore already.


    But thinking of Ye Yuan��s grace to him, he still persisted.


    Around Tianyue Plaza, one figure after another suddenly appeared.


    Those Empyrean powerhouses that had not left Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital showed up one after another.


    Actually, the majority of the Empyreans did not leave.


    They benefited a great deal inside the Sea of Law. Naturally, the earlier they comprehended, the more they digested.


    Hence, in these ten years, a majority of the people all stayed behind in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    At this time, everyone��s faces were full of marvel.


    They never would have thought that not only did Ye Yuan come back to life, but he also even caused such a huge commotion.


    Looking at this, Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was not simple!


    This kind of commotion was far stronger compared to breaking through to Fourth Firmament True God!


    ��Grandmaster Ye really can��t be gauged with common sense! Who could have thought that he was still for ten years? Not only did he come back to life, but there��s also even such a huge breakthrough.�� Empyrean Lumen lamented.


    ��Looking at this scene, the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the circumference of 100 thousand miles seems to have been drawn over by this Sea of Law. If it��s all absorbed, even if a Seventh or Eighth Firmament True God came, they would also blow up!�� Empyrean Blazing exclaimed in admiration.


    The commotion of Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was too vast. Even if these Empyreans saw it, their faces changed slightly too.


    While this bit of spiritual energy was nothing in their eyes, when placed in True God Realm, it was absolutely horrifying.


    ��He started absorbing spiritual energy!��


    An Empyrean opened his mouth. Everyone held their breaths.


    They all wanted to see just how far Ye Yuan could go.


    At this time, in the center of the storm, Ye Yuan revolved the Chaos Heavenspan Canon frenziedly and started swallowing like a whale.


    Ye Yuan thought, after ten years of comprehending the Dao, finally I entered Ancestor Realm! According to my current accumulations, even if I break through directly to become a peak Sixth Firmament True God, there��s also not the slightest problem. It��s just that �� I don��t know if this spiritual energy is enough to use or not!


    Even so, the seals that his hands were making were not the least bit slow.


    One cluster of fog after another was directly absorbed into the body by him, and then being refined and stored in the Origin Pill.


    That was time, it was one cluster after another, and not trace by trace.


    With Ye Yuan��s accumulations, he could have broken through to become a Fourth Firmament True God long ago.


    Presently, comprehending Dao for ten years inside the Sea of Law, this was a lucky chance that bystanders could only look but could not catch up to.


    With his current accumulations, directly breaking through even reaching to be a peak Sixth Firmament True God would not have the slightest hidden danger.


    His aura rose steadily up, breaking through to become a Fourth Firmament True God without any surprises.


    Except, this was far from stopping yet!


    The current Ye Yuan was like a gluttonous behemoth as if he could swallow the entire world in one mouthful.


    The speed of the spiritual energy condensing actually could not keep up with his speed of absorbing.


    Outside of the Sea of Law, the group of Empyrean powerhouses watched dumbfoundedly and tongue-tied.


    ��This �� Absorbing spiritual energy like this, isn��t he afraid of being stuffed until he explodes?�� Empyrean Proudcloud opened his eyes wide and cried out in alarm.


    ��Stuffed until he explodes? Huhu, you don��t know, right? Ye Yuan has a perfect sixth transformation golden body! At the same time, he��s absorbing spiritual energy to increase his realm, and he��s also transforming his fleshy body! I��m afraid that �� he��ll complain that this isn��t enough!�� Empyrean Flutterfeather gave Empyrean Proudcloud a sidelong glance and said with a cold smile.


    Finished talking, without waiting for Empyrean Proudcloud to be surprised, he reached his hand out and beckoned, yelling, ��Ye Yuan, this Empyrean will lend you a helping hand!��


    An Empyrean making a move, the heaven and earth spiritual energy within several hundreds of thousands of miles seemed to have been spurred, swarming over toward Tianyue Plaza frenziedly.


    Although Ye Yuan was formidable, his realm was after all too low.


    He wanted to gather more heaven and earth spiritual energy but lacked the strength to match his will.


    Suddenly, he heard Empyrean Flutterfeather��s bellow, and he could not help brightening up in his heart.


    The surrounding spiritual energy actually turned into fine rain, falling down from midair!


    But this spiritual energy fine rain would not land on the ground at all before being directly absorbed by Ye Yuan.


    ��Hahaha! Many thanks, Brother Flutterfeather!�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    With Empyrean Flutterfeather��s help, Ye Yuan��s aura soared straight to the highest heaven, his fleshy body and Martial Dao realm rising frenziedly at the same time.


    At the same time, his divine soul also started fluctuating already, and actually started absorbing the Sea of Law!


    Rumble!


    Above the void, lightning flashed.


    Ye Yuan��s essence, energy, and spirit, three paths breaking through at the same time, how outrageous was the commotion?


    Empyrean Proudcloud cried out in surprise, ��He �� He��s absorbing the Sea of Law! Is he mad?��


    The other people��s faces were also struck dumb with amazement!


    What was the Sea of Law?


    Putting it bluntly, that was a part of Heavenly Dao. That was something that surmounted above all life.


    Even Empyrean powerhouses only comprehended inside too, how could they dare to show the slightest hint of blasphemy?


    But Ye Yuan actually wanted to absorb the Sea of Law!


    ��Hahaha! The sea is boundless. I��m only taking a grain of it! Absorb for me!��


    Ye Yuan laughed heroically while absorbing the Sea of Law frenziedly, causing his divine soul to bolster up continuously.


    While he was unable to absorb so much of the Sea of Law, just absorbing a little and strengthening his divine soul was achievable.


    Dustless��s voice suddenly sounded out, ��Ye Yuan, absorb more of the Sea of Law! Hurry!��


    Ye Yuan did not have time to think too much. He just nodded slightly and poured a portion of the Sea of Law absorbed inside the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    No idea how long had passed either, the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy was practically absorbed clean by Ye Yuan. His breakthrough �� finally stopped.


    ��He��s now a peak Fifth Firmament True God!�� Empyrean Proudcloud��s pupils constricted, looking at that figure that walked over in astonishment, full of disbelief.


    Ye Yuan did not even move for ten years. The moment he did so, it was earth-shattering, directly breaking through two minor realms, reaching peak Fifth Firmament True God!


    One should not look at how it was only two minor realms. For the others, that required several thousands, even several tens of thousands of years of accumulation, before it could be achieved. How horrifying was the spiritual energy required?


    But Ye Yuan merely used ten years!


    What they did not know was that Ye Yuan made use of this boundless spiritual energy and also broke through to the late-stage sixth transformation golden body.


    As for his divine soul, it even reached peak rank six already!


    This breakthrough could virtually use a complete remolding to describe Ye Yuan.


    The Empyrean Pilljade who had been silent all along, his gaze flickered incessantly, and said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��Yun Yi, that kid, he bet correctly!��


    ��Huhu, Brother Flutterfeather, many thanks for your assistance! If not for you, this Ye��s breakthrough likely won��t be so smooth,�� Ye Yuan took a few steps and arrived in front of Empyrean Flutterfeather and said while cupping his fists.

 Chapter 2053 - Shedding All Pretenses of Cordiality!

    At Heavenly Eagle, Duan Yunfei looked at Yun Yi with a look of awkwardness.


    Before leaving, he pledged in all solemnity, saying that Yun Yi would regret it. But now, it was him who regretted it.


    Yes, he came back again.


    After receiving the news of Ye Yuan��s domineering breakthrough, he returned to Heavenly Eagle without any stop.


    Presently, the Pill Tower��s administrator was Xuan Yu.


    Toward these genius alchemists whose backgrounds were exceedingly profound, Xuan Yu could not offend them either. He could only let them come back.


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan would not take these people in, how to decide it was Ye Yuan��s business. He could not very well make a decision for Ye Yuan too.


    ��Brother Yun, I ���� Duan Yunfei said with a bitter face.


    He persisted for as long as ten years but did not expect to fall short of success at the last second.


    But not coming to try one time, he was also not reconciled to it.


    Maybe Ye Yuan��s heart would soften and take him in?


    Yun Yi looked at Duan Yunfei and said with a sigh, ��Sigh! I urged you not to leave back then, but you wouldn��t listen! You already held out for ten years, so why was there a need to be anxious after that long?��


    Duan Yunfei revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, ��Who could have thought that �� it would be like this?!��


    At that time, the whole world firmly believed that Ye Yuan already died. Duan Yunfei never dreamed that not only did Ye Yuan not die, but also his strength improved greatly instead.


    He already received the news from the Duan Family that Ye Yuan��s domineering breakthrough at Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital shocked the world.


    Essence, Energy, and Spirit; three paths breaking through at the same time, strength advancing by leaps and bounds, directly stepping into Ancestor Realm.


    Such a heaven-defying figure, he actually thought that he was dead for sure previously!


    Freaking hell, Your Father��s head must have been kicked by a donkey!


    Yun Yi shook his head and said, ��Although I don��t understand Grandmaster Ye, it seems like this level of figure will surely be proud to the extreme. Previously, even though you weren��t too diligent in cultivating, he might have taken you in in consideration of your willpower. But you left halfway, so it��s likely very hard for him to take you in anymore.��


    Duan Yunfei��s expression choked up, Yun Yi��s words dealt a blow to him.


    Ten years of persistence were scrapped in one day!


    ��Sigh, even if there��s only a trace of hope, I also want to stay! Hope that he��ll take me in on the account of my ten-year persistence!�� Duan Yunfei said with a sigh.


    He currently regretted it until his intestines were green, but there was no regret medicine to eat in this world.


    At least, his hope was much higher compared to Luo Tianqi those people.


    Ever since Ye Yuan��s news came over, the geniuses that left previously, many came back again one after another.


    Presently, inside the Pill Tower, there were already close to 20 people.


    Toward Yun Yi and Yang Xuan persisting like this, they were previously disdainful and scoff in derision at it before this.


    But now, they were endlessly envious of these two people.


    At the very least, these two people��s chances were greater than theirs.


    ��


    Inside Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s City Lord Manor, Ye Yuan��s gaze looked towards Empyrean Proudcloud scorchingly and he said with a cold smile, ��Brother Proudcloud, shouldn��t you all give this Ye an explanation?��


    Empyrean Proudcloud gave a cold snort and said, ��What explanation do you want? I��ve already sent the order, all of this Empyrean��s forces will immediately withdraw out of your sphere of influence. Could it be that this still isn��t enough?��


    ��Not enough!�� Ye Yuan said firmly and clearly.


    Empyrean Proudcloud sneered and said, ��You say that it��s not enough and so it��s not enough? Don��t look at how you��re sitting on the seat of a grandmaster, thinking that you can really throw hands with this Empyrean.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Throw hands? You��re fit too?��


    ��You!�� Empyrean Proudcloud said, seemingly stifled.


    But Ye Yuan did not even look at him. Looking at Empyrean Pilljade, he said, ��Brother Pilljade, I wonder how you view this matter?��


    From Empyrean Flutterfeather there, Ye Yuan had long known that this Empyrean Proudcloud and some of the other Empyreans were merely Empyrean Pilljade��s lackeys.


    As long as he forced Empyrean Pilljade to lower his head, Empyrean Proudcloud naturally would not even dare to let out a fart.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face fell and he said, ��Although Younger Brother Proudcloud was wrong in this matter, during these ten years, everyone thought that something happened to you. According to the alliance��s agreement, your territory was a land without a master. Therefore, Younger Brother Proudcloud��s crime is pardonable!��


    Although Yun Yi wanted to acknowledge Ye Yuan as master, this was this, and that was that.


    In front of such tremendous profits, why would Empyrean Pilljade care about a measly little Yun Yi?


    One should not look at how the places that Empyrean Proudcloud they all occupied was small. All of the Empyreans added up also reached 30% of the entire territory.


    Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital already lost the position of alliance chief and 10% of the share. So how could they still make any concessions?


    No matter how genius that Yun Yi was, he was also just a junior.


    His Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital was such a colossal titan. Wouldn��t grooming one or two geniuses still be easily accomplished?


    Moreover, even if Yun Yi failed to acknowledge him as master, could it be that he could not teach him?


    No matter what, he was an Ancestor Realm powerhouse too!


    Empyrean Pilljade still had this bit of pride.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Land without a master? Heh heh, want to act shamelessly is it? Looks like �� you all won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin!��


    Empyrean Proudcloud smiled coldly and said, ��What? Could it be that you still really dare to withdraw from the alliance? Do you think that Brother Flutterfeather really dares to play such high stakes with you? Once you guys withdraw, that��s contending against the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world! You weigh the consequences yourself!��


    The other Empyreans, including several grandmasters, all secretly nodded.


    Ye Yuan said that he had more than a dozen pill formulas in his hands. He merely said it verbally, everyone would not take it seriously.


    But becoming enemies with the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world, not everyone had this guts.


    After all, although Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was formidable, the Southern Border also had quite a number of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses whose strength was not inferior to his.


    Empyrean Pilljade also said, ��Brother Flutterfeather, once you withdraw from the alliance, it��s becoming enemies with everyone seated here! Although Ye Yuan��s talent is high, he hasn��t grown up after all and isn��t able to refine rank seven divine pills. Is it appropriate for you to bet like this?��


    His words were threatening Empyrean Flutterfeather, and similarly also isolating Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly Eagle was merely a small place. If Empyrean Flutterfeather did not accompany Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan could not stir up any waves at all.


    ��Brother Flutterfeather, you have to think thrice before acting!�� Empyrean Blazing Sun also urged.


    The few great grandmasters, even Empyrean Windrider, were persuading Empyrean Flutterfeather. Only Empyrean Lumen was silent.


    Clearly, they were joining hands to apply pressure and also joining hands to suppress Ye Yuan.


    Once they separated Empyrean Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan, Heavenly Eagle would be a piece of fatty meat. The alliance before would not count anymore.


    Previously, the various grandmasters were in a state of disunity and did not condense together at all.


    But the shock that Ye Yuan��s breakthrough this time brought to them was too strong, making them feel an immense threat.


    If the Myriad Treasure Tower had Flutterfeather and Ye Yuan joining hands, who in the Southern Border could still suppress them in the future?


    Hence, they unknowingly banded up together.


    Everyone was currently chirping and talking non-stop when Empyrean Flutterfeather suddenly stood up. Gaze sweeping across everyone��s faces, he said coolly, ��You guys are also looking down on me, Flutterfeather, too much! Since you all are so shameless, then �� wage war then! From this day forth, my Myriad Treasure Tower will withdraw from the Southern Border Alliance. As for territory, all of us, each will rely on their own ability! If you guys can snatch territory from my Myriad Treasure Tower��s hands, feel free to come and give it a try!��


    Everyone��s faces could not help changing drastically when they saw the situation.


    They all did not expect that Empyrean Flutterfeather was actually so decisive!

 Chapter 2054 - Great Battle Starting

    The matter of the Myriad Treasure Tower withdrawing from the Southern Border Alliance stirred up titanic waves in the alchemy world.


    As one of the several leviathans, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s strength was second only to the Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.


    But no matter how powerful, it was also merely one of the seven leviathans.


    Myriad Treasure Tower withdrawing out of the Southern Border Alliance was equivalent to waging war with the entire Southern Border.


    Although it was not a slaughter of real swords and spears, this kind of merchant war was even more intense than fighting.


    With the Myriad Treasure Tower��s strength, could it survive under the besieging of the six great leviathans and all of the alchemy factions?


    ��Empyrean Flutterfeather was too impulsive. For the sake of a measly little Ye Yuan, he��s actually going to become enemies with the entire Southern Border!��


    ��Heh, Grandmaster Ye is indeed impressive, can even say that it��s also not overboard to call him the Southern Border��s number one person. It��s just that one person��s strength is ultimately limited.��


    ��You guys still don��t know, right? The six leviathans already opened their shops all in the Myriad Treasure Tower��s territory. With this, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure might even have to come forward!��


    ��The six leviathans move so quickly. Empyrean Flutterfeather��s intestines should be green with regret now, right?��


    ��


    Everywhere in the Southern Border, the alchemy world was virtually all discussing this matter.


    In their view, Empyrean Flutterfeather��s decision was too unwise. It was clearly pushing the Myriad Treasure Tower into the fire pit.


    At that time, it would probably need Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure to come forward and clean up the mess.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses normally did not intervene in the affairs of the secular world. But this kind of major thing, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure likely would not be able to look on either.


    But at this time, on Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital��s Cloud Dream Mountain, golden light rippled, horrifying aura came out from it.


    Zi Yu and Qing Yun, two people, were feeling this undulation, being incomparably amazed in their hearts.


    ��Too strong, this is the undulation of Ancestor Realm powerhouses! Didn��t expect that Elder Ye stepped into the Ancestor Realm so quickly and actually fought until he��s evenly-matched with Master who broke through to Ancestor Realm!�� Zi Yu said with alarm.


    They looked down on Ye Yuan back then, but Ye Yuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather��s battle thoroughly astounded the two of them.


    Alchemy Intent Resonance, that kind of spectacular sight was still vivid in their impression until now.


    Qing Yun pursed her mouth and said, ��Even if he broke through to the Ancestor Realm, so what? He still isn��t Master��s match! Master even defeated Empyrean Pilljade in this Cloudpill Summit. The present Master is the Southern Border��s number one person!��


    Zi Yu also nodded and said, ��That��s true. How can Ye Yuan possibly be Master��s match?��


    The two people were currently talking when that astonishing aura was withdrawn.


    Ye Yuan and Flutterfeather two people walked out with big smiles. Zi Yu, Qing Yun, Chen Chang, and the few elders immediately came up to greet, curious looks on their faces.


    ��Master, it must be you that won, right? You��re the Southern Border��s number one Alchemy Dao person!�� Zi Yu said brimming with confidence.


    Flutterfeather laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Southern Border��s number one person? Hahaha! My buttocks isn��t warm from seating yet and it��s snatched away by this brat! From henceforth, if a Heavenly Emperor doesn��t come out, nobody can match him! Even those few old monsters who don��t ask about world affairs are likely not Ye Yuan��s match too.��


    Flutterfeather laughed very joyfully, and he also said it very easily. But when it reached the ears of Zi Yu and the rest, it was akin to a bolt out of the blue.


    This meaning was that �� theirmaster was defeated?


    ��This �� How is this possible? Master even defeated Empyrean Pilljade in the Cloudpill Summit!�� Zi Yu said in surprise.


    In their hearts, Empyrean Pilljade was powerful as stars in the sky, unable to be defeated at all.


    Now, their master broke through to the Ancestor Realm and defeated Empyrean Pilljade, who was the Southern Border��s number one person, an existence that nobody could defeat.


    But their master personally admitted that he was inferior to Ye Yuan.


    How could �� this guy be so freakish?��


    Flutterfeather laughed in spite of himself and said, ��I fought three rounds with Ye Yuan and lost all of them! The rank six divine pills that he refined already infinitely approaches end spirit divine pill. I��m inferior to him!��


    Just like when Martial Dao realm was cultivated to later stages, the span of the quality of vast spirit divine pills was also very huge.


    If divide vast spirit divine pills to lower, middle, and upper, three grade, then the vast spirit divine pills that the two people refined in the past were middle-grade.


    After stepping into Ancestor Realm, the vast spirit divine pills that Flutterfeather refined already reached high-grade.


    But the current Ye Yuan, when refining vast spirit divine pills, could already reach peak high-grade, being only a step away from end spirit divine-grade.


    If Ye Yuan��s strength improved further, refining end spirit divine pills would likely be nothing difficult too.


    Of course, talking about it was easy, doing it was hard.


    After the Ancestor Realm, each step forward was far too difficult.


    Flutterfeather knew that Ye Yuan��s talent was exceedingly high, but wanting to poke through this layer of windowpane paper within a short time likely could not be done.


    However, even so, Ye Yuan��s strength was also sufficiently shocking already.


    At present in the land of Southern Border, if Eight-star Alchemy Gods did not come out, likely no one could compete with Ye Yuan anymore.


    As long as Ye Yuan broke through to the Empyrean Realm, he would be the true Southern Border��s number one person.


    Hearing Empyrean Flutterfeather��s words, Zi Yu, Chen Chang, and the rest all drew a cold breath.


    Three rounds, Empyrean Flutterfeather actually did not even win one match!


    This showed that Ye Yuan already firmly suppressed Empyrean Flutterfeather in terms of strength.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Flutterfeather, don��t flatter me anymore. You bet the Myriad Treasure Tower on this Ye alone, this gamble is a little big! You��re so confident in me?��


    Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��Huhu, they don��t know your value, but this Empyrean knows! You could even create the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill. So what do a mere few kinds of commonly-seen medicinal pills count for? They all thought that you were bragging. When they witness your ability, I wonder what kind of expression it will be! In this game, I��ll surely win and not lose. Why wouldn��t I bet? Win the gamble and the Myriad Treasure Tower will be the Southern Border��s number one major alchemy faction. All of them would have to bow their heads in submission! This Empyrean is already looking forward to the appearance of Pilljade that old fogey lowering his head in front of you and me now. Hahaha!��


    After saying all these, Empyrean Flutterfeather even roared with laughter.


    He did not know Ye Yuan��s trump card, but he believed in Ye Yuan.


    Others did not know the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill��s terror, but Empyrean Flutterfeather was perfectly clear.


    Those fools, originally something that could be resolved by lowering their heads, they insisted on forcing Ye Yuan to fly off the handle.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Brother Flutterfeather is really a calculative demon! Huhu, just based on your trust, I��ll hand over these 15 kinds of pill formulas to you!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan casually beckoned and took out a pile of jade slips and placed them on the desk.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��So many?��


    He casually picked up a jade slip and sunk his divine sense inside, his expression changing again.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he switched to another jade slip.


    Continuing to look one jade slip after another, the expression on Empyrean Flutterfeather��s face became more and more solemn.


    When he put down the last jade slip, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was akin to having seen a ghost.


    ��Sigh, this Empyrean thought that I saw through you clearly, but only when I saw these pill formulas, did this Empyrean know that I still underestimated you! Just based on these pill formulas, this Empyrean wants all of them to crawl to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital and lower their heads to you and me!��


    Talking about this, rays of brilliant light seemingly appeared in Empyrean Flutterfeather��s eyes.


    Ye Yuan��s trump card gave him boundless confidence.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather knew that this battle would cause a one-sided sanguinary slaughter in the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world!

 Chapter 2055 - You Can Get Lost!

    Longwind Great Imperial Capital, Martial Dao was flourishing, powerhouses countless.


    This place was in the scope of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s influence. Other forces could not stick their hands in at all.


    Of course, that was just limited to the Southern Border Alliance��s rules that the other forces did not dare to enter.


    Now, it was different!


    Virtually overnight, Longwind Great Imperial Capital��s medicine shops had a large bunch emerge like bamboo shoots after the rain.


    Tranquil Heart Pavilion, Purplecloud Establishment, Swallow Pill Hall, so on and so forth. But the one with the biggest reputation naturally had to belong to Cloudpill Establishment.


    Cloudpill Establishment was a super faction that did not pale in comparison to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Its appearance symbolized a full-scale war between the Myriad Treasure Tower and the Cloudpill Establishment, two great super forces.


    After these medicine shops were opened, they immediately formed a united front.


    Unified fixed price, unified distribution, unified sales.


    The objective was very simple, target the Myriad Treasure Tower and chase the Myriad Treasure Tower out of Longwind Great Imperial Capital!


    Ding Xiao, Cloudpill Establishment��s head shopkeeper, was skilled in management and had once chased all of five great grandmasters�� factions out of a great imperial capital. Among them was the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Empyrean Pilljade sending him to Longwind Great Imperial Capital was clearly to give the Myriad Treasure Tower a fatal blow.


    The news of the Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border going to war already spread throughout the entire Southern Border.


    And Longwind Great Imperial Capital had an utmost significance to this war.


    Once the Myriad Treasure Tower was chased out of Longwing Great Imperial Capital, they would likely have to face an all-round defeat.


    At that time, a rout would be like a landslide. It would be hard for the Myriad Treasure Tower to have the strength to salvage the situation anymore.


    At this time, inside the newly-opened Cloudpill Establishment��s top floor hall, there was a large gathering.


    The various major forces�� shopkeepers were all gathered here, discussing the ways to target the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    ��Shopkeeper Ding, that Chou Tianyu is impervious to reason and advice. We��ve already lowered the prices 30%. Not only did he not lower the price, but he also announced to the outside world instead that after three months, the prices of all of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s medicinal pills will rise 20%. I think that �� the Myriad Treasure Tower is taking the road to ruin here!�� Tranquil Heart Pavilion��s shopkeeper said with a contemptuous look.


    The other shopkeepers also nodded slightly, showing visible delight on their faces.


    Originally they thought that it was a life-and-death battle. They did not expect that the Myriad Treasure Tower was too weak to stand up to the competition.


    Another shopkeeper reminded, ��Shopkeeper Ding, although we��re fighting a price war, it��s bound to cause Longwind Great Imperial Capital��s martial artists�� frenzied snatching. At that time, the medicinal pills must ensure adequate stock!��


    Ding Xiao nodded and said, ��Brother Lin rest assured, those big shots above know the importance of this battle and already order their respective factions�� Five-star and Six-star Alchemy Gods to go all-out in refining pills. You don��t need to worry about the stock of medicinal pills.��


    Only then did Shopkeeper Lin let out a sigh of relief and said, ��Then this Lin can relax. After this battle, even if Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure takes action, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s share will certainly shrink substantially too.��


    This level of war, what it competed in was not whose household��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods were more.


    Looking at the entire Southern Border, Empyrean powerhouses were extremely scarce too.


    Reaching this realm, everyone would find Seven-star Alchemy Gods to refine pills in private, and not go to medicine shops to purchase medicinal pills.


    The truly massive consumer demographics were the Celestial Deity Realm and True God Realm martial artists.


    They had immense purchasing power and also very high demands for medicinal pills.


    Hence, whoever that could capture the hearts of this group of martial artists would be the final winner!


    For the same of this Longwind battle today, Empyrean Pilljade united the five great peak holy lands and already prepared a certain-kill strike. They would not give Empyrean Flutterfeather any chance at all.


    But at this time, Ding Xiao��s brows furrowed and he said, ��That might be the case, but according to what I know, Chou Tianyu isn��t such a foolish person. Even if they are confident that the quality of medicinal pills is better than ours, it��s also impossible to take the initiative to raise prices. What I��m worried about is that �� they have other contingencies!��


    Shopkeeper Lin laughed loudly and said, ��Contingency? What contingencies are there? I heard that for the sake of this war, the big shots gathered all of the most elite Five-star and Six-star Alchemy Gods together. We��re a level higher than them in terms of medicinal pills quality! When we achieve big success on our first operation in Longwind Great Imperial Capital, there will be no more Myriad Treasure Tower in the future.��


    ��Yeah, Shopkeeper Ding is too cautious. Although the Myriad Treasure Tower is strong, what do they count for compared to the entire Southern Border?�� Tranquil Heart Pavilion��s shopkeeper said.


    ��Shopkeeper Ding is probably afraid of them rolling out some new medicinal pill, right? Huhu, my lord has long said before, even if they have one or two new kinds of medicinal pill��s pill formula in their hands, it will also be of no avail. Our medicinal pills�� quality is good and the prices are low. Martial artists�� aren��t fools either, so why would they be drawn over by one or two kinds of new medicinal pills?�� Purplecloud Establishment��s shopkeeper said with a smile.


    Ding Xiao��s brows gradually smoothened out and he said with a smile, ��Huhu, it was indeed me who was overly sensitive. About this battle, this Ding has managed things for many years and completely can��t see their chances of victory. Even if an Eight-star Alchemy God makes a move, it��s also impossible to reverse the situation.��


    ��


    At Pill Tower of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise.=, ��Lord Ye Yuan came! Lord Ye Yuan came to the Pill Tower!��


    Yun Yi��s entire body trembled, he knew that the moment of judgment had finally come.


    But the others used pitying gazes to look at Yun Yi and also pitying gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��Heh, Grandmaster Ye finally can��t hold out anymore, right? Now, it isn��t him choosing us, but whether we��re willing to acknowledge him as master or not anymore!��


    ��Once the Myriad Treasure Tower is defeated, if Grandmaster Ye wants to preserve his life, the best method will be to take us in as disciples and draw support from our factions to preserve his life. Otherwise, Heavenly Eagle��s destruction will be near at hand!��


    ��A shame about Brother Yun Yi. With Grandmaster Ye��s pride, he likely won��t choose him no matter what!��


    ��


    Everyone discussed with laughter, Ye Yuan slowly walked in front of everyone.


    ��Yun Yi (Yang Xuan), pays respect to Master Ye!��


    Yun Yi and Yang Xuan directly knelt down.


    As for the rest, they had proud faces, not having the intention of kneeling at all.


    ��Huhu, Brother Yun, you still want to acknowledge him as master until now?�� Duan Yunfei said with a disdainful smile.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was calm as he looked at Duan Yunfei lightly and said, ��Don��t you want to acknowledge me as your master?��


    Duan Yunfei smiled and said, ��Of course I want to acknowledge you as my master, but the winds of fortune changed. Now, it should be you begging me to acknowledge you as my master, and it��s not me taking the initiative to have you accept me.��


    Yun Yi��s brows furrowed, and he said in a cold voice, ��Duan Yunfei, you��re insolent! To actually be disrespectful toward Master Ye!��


    Duan Yunfei did not care in the slightest and said, ��Brother Ye, he might not even be able to protect his small life now, what are you still being so respectful toward him for?��


    Ye Yuan took no notice of it. He just smiled faintly, gaze sweeping across the other people��s faces, and opened his mouth and said, ��You all think so as well?��


    At this time, Luo Tianqi stepped out of the ranks and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, ��Grandmaster Ye, as long as you��re willing to take me in as a disciple and devote all your attention to teach me, my Luo Family will definitely ensure your safety! You should know, behind my Luo Family is Heavenly Emperor Darktime!��


    Another person, a Six-star genius, said, ��Grandmaster Ye, my Hai Family has a deep relationship with Empyrean Pilljade. As long as you��re willing to accept me as a disciple, my Hai Family will definitely put in a few good words in front of Empyrean Pilljade!��


    In their view, all of them were now Ye Yuan��s protective talismans.


    No matter how proud Ye Yuan was, did he still dare to not take them in as disciples?


    His best way out right now was to be everyone��s master.


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Tianqi with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��You��re called Luo Tianqi?��


    Luo Tianqi clasped his hands and said, ��Yes, Grandmaster Ye.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, ��You can get lost!��

 Chapter 2056 - Surprising Choice

    Luo Tianqi looked at Ye Yuan with a disbelieving face. He was even thinking that he heard it wrongly.


    At this juncture, Ye Yuan actually still made him get lost?


    It was not just Luo Tianqi. The rest also looked at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    ��Grandmaster Ye, I think that you haven��t had a clear understanding of the current situation. Once the Myriad Treasure Tower is defeated, do you feel that you can still be leisurely and carefree in this Heavenly Eagle Imperial City still? Without the Myriad Treasure Tower��s protection, Empyrean Pilljade they all will likely be the first to target you!�� Luo Tianqi said with a cold smile.


    He felt that there was a need to analyze the current situation for Ye Yuan. Otherwise, Ye Yuan might feel that he was still that high and mighty grandmaster.


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Tianqi and said calmly, ��You said too much crap! I asked you to get lost, didn��t you hear me?��


    Luo Tianqi laughed due to extreme fury and said, ��Good! Good! That day when you become a bereaved dog, I want to see what you have to be this arrogant! At that time, don��t you regret it!��


    Finished talking, Luo Tianqi turned around and was about to leave.


    ��Wait!�� Ye Yuan suddenly yelled.


    Luo Tianqi��s footsteps paused. Turning around to look at Ye Yuan, he smiled coldly and said, ��What? Regretting it? It��s already too late to regret now!��


    Ye Yuan had a lazy appearance as he said coolly, ��I asked you to roll[1]. Didn��t you hear me?��


    Luo Tianqi��s face changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��You! You dare to humiliate me? I, Luo Tianqi, am a member of the Luo Family! Do you want to wage war with my Luo Family?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold, a terrifying pressure crushed over towards Luo Tianqi.


    Bang!


    Without the slightest strength to resist, Luo Tianqi was directly pressed firmly onto the ground by Ye Yuan��s pressure.


    By the side, the pupils of Yun Yi and the rest of the True God Realm martial artists shrunk, looking at this scene with aghast.


    There was nothing to say about Ye Yuan��s alchemy talent; they prostrated on all fours in admiration.


    But they never would have thought that Ye Yuan��s Martial Dao was actually so strong too.


    Although Luo Tianqi was True God Realm, pressing the other party on the ground, able to move just based on pressure, they could not do it.


    Ye Yuan did not have an overbearing personality. So if they did not want to acknowledge him as their master, then just leave.


    But this Luo Tianqi was too arrogant, using whatever Luo Family to pressure him at the drop of a hat. Did Luo Tianqi really take him to be easy to bully?


    Even if Ye Yuan was made out of clay, he would have some anger too.


    ��Whatever you��re unhappy about, say however you like behind my back. But saying it in front of me, you��re in the wrong. Starting from now, until you roll out of Heavenly Eagle, as long as let me hear one more superfluous word, you don��t need to leave anymore. Don��t doubt whether I dare or not. You can very well give it a try,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Done talking, Ye Yuan withdrew his aura. Luo Tianqi felt like a giant mountain moved away from his body.


    But no matter how arrogant he was, he also did not dare to bet with his life. He could only keep silent and say nothing. He started rolling on the ground, rolling out of the city little by little.


    ��Tianping, you send him out of the city. If he still dares to talk nonsense, directly kill him!�� Ye Yuan instructed the Ning Tianping beside him.


    Ning Tianping chuckled and said, ��Yes, Your Excellency!��


    Ning Tianping looked toward Luo Tianqi and did not have the slightest sympathy.


    To dare posture in front of His Excellency, one needed to be prepared to have their face slapped by His Excellency.


    This guy did not even figure out the situation and dare to posture. He truly did not know what he was talking about.


    His Excellency even dared to throw hands at Empyrean Pilljade; could he be what you, a puny little Luo Family��s Celestial Deity Realm, can blaspheme?


    Your family��s ancestor coming was more like it!


    The others were all silent like cicadas in winter. How could they still dare to posture in front of Ye Yuan?


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth again and said, ��I know that you guys feel that Heavenly Eagle is near destruction and feel that I should take you all as disciples to preserve myself. However �� you��re thinking too much! Back then, I said it very clearly at the Cloudpill Summit. If you want to acknowledge me as your master, you have to undergo repeated trials. I gave you all the chance, but it was you who didn��t cherish it yourselves. Hence, Yun Yi and Yang Xuan stay behind. The others can all scram!��


    Yun Yi��s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise.


    Duan Yunfei similarly had a look of disbelief as he said, ��Grandmaster Ye, are you mistaken? Yun Yi is Empyrean Pilljade��s descendant. You��re actually going to take him in as disciple?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��What does that matter? A battle is a battle; accepting disciples is accepting disciples. These are two different matters to begin with. It��s you all who wanted to lump them together yourselves. I said it before, I first look at one��s character when taking in a disciple, look at disposition second, and third is talent. If Yun Yi was the same as you all, then even if his talent is higher than the heavens, I��ll also make him get lost. But he��s more of an alchemist compared to you all. His future accomplishments will also be what you all can only look up to.��


    Yun Yi��s entire body trembled and actually wept from extreme joy.


    When he heard that the Myriad Treasure Tower was breaking away from the Southern Border Alliance, Yun Yi already despaired.


    He knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to take him in as a disciple.


    Who would take the descendant of their enemy as a disciple?


    But he never imagined that Ye Yuan gave him a huge surprise.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Yun Yi kowtowed three times in a row to Ye Yuan and said while shedding tears of gratitude: ��Master Ye, Yun Yi will follow you in this lifetime and will never change until death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You could lay down your noble status and come to the Pill Tower to be a little medicine boy. Ten years of persistence is sufficient to see your sincere heart toward alchemy. Other people all said that I wouldn��t accept you. Yet, I��m going to make the world see that his, Pilljade��s, descendant, will definitely surpass his predecessor!��


    Yun Yi had a resolute face as he said, ��Yes! Yun Yi definitely won��t let Master Ye down!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and turned to Yang Xuan and said, ��Yang Xuan, from today onward, you��re the fourth disciple under me, Ye Yuan. Come, pay respects to your senior apprentice brother and sister.��


    Beside Ye Yuan stood Bai Chen and Ning Siyu.


    Ever since entering the Heavenspan World, he only took Bai Chen, one disciple. Ning Siyu was the second.


    Yang Xuan had a look of agitation and knelt down toward Ye Yuan. Following that, he bowed to Bai Chen, Ning Siyu, and Yun Yi.


    No one could have thought that the two disciples which Ye Yuan accepted in the end would be the Cloudpill Summit��s first place and first place from the bottom.


    Yun Yi��s identity was special, so no one thought that Ye Yuan would take him in.


    Yang Xuan was even more unremarkable and did not even have any background.


    Yet, these two people entered Ye Yuan��s doorway in the end.


    Duan Yunfei and the rest looked at this scene, with their faces full of envy.


    With Ye Yuan��s guidance, these two people attaining a higher level in alchemy in the future was highly probable.


    But they missed this opportunity.


    It was just that in this world, there was no regret medicine that could be eaten.


    What Ye Yuan said was right. He already gave them the chance, but it was they themselves who did not cherish it.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border Alliance��s battle would probably last for ten years, or even as long as several decades no matter how fast it was.


    And this period of time was sufficient for Ye Yuan to teach them many things.


    Even though no one thought that the Myriad Treasure Tower would win, they were still very envious.


    ��Alright, you all can go now,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The expressions of Duan Yunfei and the rest changed, finally still leaving unwillingly.


    They did not dare to disobey Ye Yuan. Luo Tianqi was the best example if they disobeyed him.


    After everyone left, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said coolly, ��The two of you cultivated for ten years.Aare there any harvests?��


    Yun Yi bowed in salute and said, ��Replying Master, Yun Yi benefited a great deal! Those people capitalized on that they were noble and turned their noses up at this training. But they didn��t know that Master was actually teaching us!��


    [1] get lost/roll has the same word.

 Chapter 2057 - What’s Hard to Say?

    Ye Yuan looked at Yun Yi, his eyes revealing a trace of appreciation.


    Someone who was not a ��fool�� or ��crazy�� could not see through his intent at all.


    Those so-called geniuses were shortsighted and only saw the benefits in front of them. Their achievements in alchemy would definitely be limited.


    They proudly said they were smart, but in reality, they were unbelievably dumb.


    Only ��fools�� and ��lunatics�� in those people��s eyes had a heart that genuinely yearned for the Dao.


    Did those people think that talent could resolve everything?


    This was the dumbest notion!


    Without endless hard work, without great willpower, great resolve, why would the door of Great Dao open to you?


    ��I only have hard work and foundation, these two words, when I teach disciples. You need to bear it in mind,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yun Yi two people became solemn and hurriedly said, ��Yes, Master. Disciple will bear it in mind.��


    How could Ye Yuan not tell what the two people were thinking in their hearts? He said, ��What shortcuts are there to take on the path of the Dao? If you ask Master how to achieve the Dao, Master can only tell you that the Dao is under your feet! Being down-to-earth is the Dao! You guys saw Siyu radiated with splendor during the Cloudpill Summit, but you don��t know how much hardships and effort she put in at the back. Therefore, if you want to learn whatever pinnacle Alchemy Dao from me, you can leave right now. I have nothing to teach you.��


    The two people��s faces changed, repeatedly saying that they dare not.


    But the shock in their hearts could not use words to describe at all.


    They were unable to imagine Senior Apprentice Sister Siyu��s efforts. Then how much was sunk in behind Master��s glory?


    ��Master, Disciple understands! From today onward, Disciple will lay down all pride and follow by Master��s side.��


    Yun Yi was not trying to calm Ye Yuan down. Those words made him have a feeling of being enlightened all at once.


    And these ten years of bitter cultivation also made him more able to understand the meaning behind Master��s words.


    Since that was the case, start over from the bottom then.


    ��It��s just �� Master, you and Empyrean Flutterfeather withdrawing from the Southern Border Alliance this time, is it really fine?�� Yun Yi said worriedly.


    He was not taking Ye Yuan��s side, but Yun Yi was very conflicted currently.


    After all, one was his great-grandfather, and the other was his master.


    Whichever getting hurt was not what he wished to see.


    Ning Siyu smiled when she heard that and said, ��You guys are also looking down on Master too much! You��ll understand his means very soon!��


    ��


    Three months passed in a twinkle!


    On this day early morning, a group of shopkeepers gathered at Cloudpill Establishment once more.


    Ding Xiao said in high and vigorous spirits, ��Gentlemen, we didn��t fail to live up to expectations. These three months, we fought an extremely beautiful war! At present, we��ve already controlled more than 70% of this Longwind Great Imperial Capital��s market! Reaching this step presently, no matter how capable Chou Tianyu is, he��s also powerless to turn the tables!��


    ��Hahaha! I can finally report on the fulfillment of the mission! Maybe we don��t need ten years and the Myriad Treasure Tower will be thoroughly defeated by us,�� Shopkeeper Lin said with a big laugh.


    Another shopkeeper said with a laugh, ��Heh heh, that is inevitable. No matter how strong the Myriad Treasure Tower is, no matter how strong Empyrean Flutterfeather is, no matter how strong Ye Yuan is, it��s also impossible to be the entire Southern Border Alliance��s match! The resources in our hands, apart from those reclusive forces, we occupy more than 50% of the Southern Border. If we lose like this, then we can find a piece of tofu to kill ourselves!��


    Ding Xiao nodded his head and said, ��According to the news that I grasp, the most elite alchemists of the entire Southern Border have already been gathered at the back, refining medicinal pills without ceasing. These medicinal pills will be provided to us in an endless stream. We��ll be able to extend out to the various imperial capitals with Longwind Great Imperial Capital as our foundation very soon.��


    When the group of shopkeepers heard, they could not help being greatly roused.


    Controlling 70% of the market, it was also no wonder that these shopkeepers were all fired up with boundless enthusiasm.


    The major and minor factions present were likely no fewer than 40 to 50 in total.


    This virtually represented the entire Southern Border��s pinnacle factions. Defeat, this sort of term, would not appear in their dictionaries at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan had some trump cards in his hands, in their view, it was merely eking out a meager existence and delaying the time of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s defeat by a little.


    ��Oh, right! Didn��t Chou Tianyu say that they were going to raise prices? Haha, I want to see who will still go to the Myriad Treasure Tower to buy medicinal pills after raising prices!�� Shopkeeper Lin suddenly thought of something and said with a big laugh.


    ��Things are bad! Things are bad!��


    Shopkeeper Lin��s voice had yet to fade when a manservant directly rushed into the hall and said in a great panic.


    Ding Xiao snorted coldly and berated, ��What is it? Making such a big fuss over nothing, where��s the sense of propriety?��


    How could the manservant still care about being punished? Pointing at the opposite, he said, ��Shopkeeper Ding, things are bad! The Myriad Treasure Tower opposite is already almost packed until it��s bursting! Those martial artists have all gone crazy, desperately fighting to purchase their medicinal pills. The martial artists that were originally here at our side have all ran over to their side now.��


    ��What did you say?��


    Ding Xiao��s eyes went wide, somewhat doubting if his ears heard wrongly or not.


    Why would those martial artists run to the Myriad Treasure Tower opposite?


    The other shopkeeper��s faces were full of a disbelieving expression.


    Their notion at this time was unusually unanimous, that was that this manservant was lying!


    ��The Myriad Treasure Tower raised prices on all medicinal pills today. So why would martial artists go and fight to buy their medicinal pills at their place? What nonsense are you talking about?�� Ding Xiao said in a cold voice.


    Although he knew that this manservant did not dare to lie to him, he was still unable to believe it.


    That manservant had a bitter face as he said, ��Shopkeeper Ding, even if you lend this lowly one a gall, this lowly one also wouldn��t dare to talk rubbish!��


    Ding Xiao frowned and said, ��Go! Let��s hurry up and go take a look!��


    As he said this, he took the lead and went down the building.


    When he just arrived in the audience hall, Ding Xiao was stopped by a few people. He hurriedly switched to a smiling face and went up to greet.


    These few were all their Cloudpill Establishment��s major clients and could not be offended.


    ��Haha, Family Head Su, Family Head Ren, what wind blew you guys here?�� Ding Xiao cupped his fists and said smilingly.


    These two people were precisely two of Longwind Great Imperial Capital��s five major families, the family heads of the Su Family and Ren Family.


    These few months, Ding Xiao expended a Herculean effort and unleashed all of his abilities before prying them over from the Myriad Treasure Tower��s hands.


    Presently, these two major families�� medicinal pills were all provided by their Cloudpill Establishment.


    Family Head Su smiled and said, ��This Su coming today together with Younger Brother Ren is because there��s something that we want to request Shopkeeper Ding to help us with.��


    Ding Xiao hurriedly smiled and said, ��Easily arranged! You two are this Ding��s financiers, I��ll naturally offer my services! Is it that the medicinal pills aren��t enough to use recently? No problem, I��ll have servants send a batch of medicinal pills over right away.��


    Family Head Su waved his hand and said, ��No need, no need! The Su Family��s medicinal pills for cultivation is enough!��


    Ding Xiao said in surprise, ��Then �� what did Family Head Su come to find this Ding for?��


    Family Head Su took a look at Family Head Ren with some difficulty. Family Head Ren clearly had a hot temper and said impatiently, ��What��s hard to say? Shopkeeper Ding, this Ren and Family Head Su coming this time, it��s to terminate our two families�� contracts with the Cloudpill Establishment. In the future, concerning the medicinal pills that our two families use for cultivation, we won��t need to trouble the Cloudpill Establishment anymore!��

 Chapter 2058 - The Opponent is Too Strong!

    ��What? You �� You want to terminate the contract?��


    Ding Xiao��s expression changed, somewhat doubting whether he heard wrongly or not.


    Terminating the contract was nothing to the Cloudpill Establishment. But to the Su Family and Ren Family, it was a big problem.


    Family Head Su smiled and said, ��Don��t say it so unpleasantly. This Su went back and discussed with the family clan��s elders and felt that the medicinal pills we ordered at our Cloudpill Establishment are too many. So ����


    How astute was Ding Xiao? He immediately realized that something was not right.


    Could it be that these two great families were pulled over by the Myriad Treasure Tower opposite?


    But just what kind of conditions did the other party give, to be able to make these two great families terminate the contract at the risk of offending the entire Southern Border Alliance?


    The reason why the Southern Border Alliance was powerful was because they formed an entity.


    Bound together for good or bad.


    If any faction dared to offend them, they could completely force them out and not provide medicinal pills for them.


    This kind of outcome, even for a powerful city like Longwind Great Imperial Capital, it was also too much to bear.


    Ding Xiao��s two eyes narrowed slightly and his tone became cold as he said, ��Family Head Su, Family Head Ren, do you know what the consequences of terminating the contract is? The consequences of offending our Southern Border Alliance isn��t what you guys can bear!��


    The warning hint of these words was already very thick.


    Family Head Su��s face changed, but Family Head Ren did not have that great of a temper. Snorting coldly, he said, ��Offend, then offend. What��s the big deal? It��s already enough for our Ren Family to cooperate with the Myriad Treasure Tower! Previously, we were bewitched by you. That��s how we lost the initiative. This Ren hasn��t even settled the score with you yet!��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of Ding Xiao and the group of shopkeepers changed greatly.


    A measly little Ren Family really had the confidence to lose all decorum with the Southern Border Alliance?


    Who gave him the confidence?


    The Myriad Treasure Tower?


    On what basis?!


    When Family Head Su saw that Family Head Ren left no room to salvage things, he let out a sigh and said, ��Shopkeeper Ding, truly sorry about it. To choose the lesser of two evils, my Su Family seriously can��t continue the cooperation with you. Your medicinal pills are simply garbage compared to the Myriad Treasure Tower! Farewell!��


    Finished talking, Family Head Su cupped his fists and directly left.


    Family Head Ren naturally would not stay either, following Family Head Su and leaving the Cloudpill Establishment.


    Ding Xiao stood there, his expression gloomy and erratic.


    Garbage?


    Several dozen factions, gathered the most elite alchemists, the medicinal pills refined were actually called garbage?


    Ding Xiao was unable to accept this fact. He wished to rush up and tear Family Head Su��s mouth into pieces.


    Would he believe this kind of lousy reason?


    ��This �� Just what��s going on here? What in the world did the Myriad Treasure Tower do?�� Shopkeeper Ling lost his previous composure long ago, astonishment on his face.


    The others also had panic looks. Clearly, they were completely mentally unprepared about this sudden change.


    Who could have thought that their three months of hard work, the Myriad Treasure Tower only used one morning and completely overturned the situation?


    However, these Su and Ren two families were just the beginning.


    Following that, one batch after another of big and small family factions actually all came to pay a visit and terminate their contracts.


    Not just Cloudpill Establishment, but also Tranquil Heart Pavilion, Purplecloud Establishment, and the rest; the orders that they previously negotiated practically all fell short of success at the last step now.


    Continuously for an entire day, they spent it in the midst of being utterly exhausted from overwork.


    It was only all the way until the evening, when a series of medicinal pills were presented in front of the shopkeepers did they know why Family Head Su called their medicinal pills garbage.


    ��These �� What are all these medicinal pills? Where did the Myriad Treasure Tower get the pill formulas? To actually be able to refine so many terrifying medicinal pills?�� When Shopkeeper Lin was talking, his entire body was quivering.


    He had galloped across the market all his life and had yet to encounter such a powerful enemy before.


    The other party did not use any management methods at all and did not need any roping in or stomping at all, and completely did not need deliberate marketing.


    Once the medicinal pills were out, all of the opponents were directly crushed!


    This was absolute strength. It did not require that many flashy methods at all.


    Just like an Empyrean powerhouse dealing with a True God Realm, what schemes or intrigues did they need to use?


    One completely did not need such a thing!


    Simply throwed a big slap over, directly pulverizing all of them!


    ��This should be the evolved version of the Buddha Jade Pill, right? This is the evolved version of the Chaos Origin One Breath Pill? �� My God! Virtually all of the common medicinal pills in the market all have evolved versions!��


    A shopkeeper said with a bitter smile, ��They �� They directly advanced medicinal pills by an era! Compared to these medicinal pills, ours are indeed rubbish!��


    ��This �� How to still compete? Even if we have several hundred parties teaming up, we��re also not the Myriad Treasure Tower��s match! This kind of opponent isn��t on the same level at all!��


    The boundless enthusiasm from the morning was long gone without a trace already.


    These shopkeepers all seemed to be like eggplants hit by frost, being unable to perk up at all.


    Combining six great peak holy lands coupled with several dozen major factions, such a long period of meticulous planning, it was completely a joke!


    Ding Xiao let out a slight sigh and said, ��This matter is already not what we can influence. It��s better to leave it to the lords to go worry about it. Our opponent is too powerful!��


    The current Ding Xiao had a feeling of all hopes being dashed to pieces.


    He had sunk and risen all his life, and exchanged blows with countless powerful opponents before. It could be said to be emerging victorious in every battle.


    But this time, he felt powerless.


    Crossing swords with this kind of opponent, one did not have any chance at all.


    He could feel that there was seemingly a giant shadow behind the Myriad Treasure Tower, manipulating this war.


    That person was Ye Yuan, Grandmaster Ye!


    In front of Grandmaster Ye, Ding Xiao felt like he was just like a child.


    No matter how you fought with flashy moves, the other party did not take you seriously at all.


    Although he said to leave it to the various lords verbally, actually, Ding Xiao understood in his heart that this war, the Southern Border Alliance already completely lost!


    Even if it was the six great grandmasters joining hands, they were also unable to salvage this kind of declining trend.


    Unless, they could join hands and take out a batch of even more advanced medicinal pills.


    Except �� how was that possible?


    Even if the Medicine Ancestor took action, he might not be able to do it too!


    ��


    One bad news after another flew to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital like scraps of paper.


    ��All of Longwind Great Imperial Capital��s Cloudpill Establishment��s medicinal pills cannot be sold and we are already unable to sustain our expenditure. Shopkeeper Ding requests to withdraw from Longwind Great Imperial Capital!��


    ��Ling Yun Great Imperial Capital��s Cloudpill Establishment has already gone bankrupt. Shopkeeper He requests to withdraw!��


    ��Autumn Day Great Imperial Capital��s Tranquil Heart Pavilion has already gone out of business. Shopkeeper Feng requests to withdraw!��


    ��


    In the audience hall, Empyrean Pilljade��s expression was grim until it was virtually about to drip water.


    Among these intel, many places were not the Myriad Treasure Tower��s territory, but the six great holy lands�� territory!


    It was as if the Myriad Treasure Tower opened up throughout the entire Southern Border��s great imperial capitals overnight.


    Furthermore, they only used an extremely short time and made the Southern Border Alliance crumble like crushing dead leaves.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower��s new medicinal pills were too domineering!


    As long as one was not a fool, they would definitely choose the Myriad Treasure Tower��s medicinal pills.


    So what if prices rose?


    Even if it rose 20% the price, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s medicinal pills cost-performance was still a great deal higher than ordinary medicinal pills!


    This war already did not have suspense!

 Chapter 2059 - All-round Defeat

    ��T-T-This �� How can this be? Brother Pilljade, you mustn��t leave us alone to die! Ye Yuan he �� is definitely taking revenge on us!��


    Hearing one news after another transmitting over, Empyrean Proudcloud looked like he lost his wits.


    The Southern Border Alliance was actually all-round defeated within a short half a month��s time.


    Especially his territory, it was shockingly already a severely hit area.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower even did a 3% discount in his territory. Furthermore, the medicinal pills were very plentiful.


    This kind of situation absolutely could not be seen elsewhere.


    Because right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s medicinal pills were extremely sought after. Even if it rose 20% in price, it was still hard to seek out a single pill.


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was well-prepared this time, they could not stand up to the tidal water-like martial artists.


    No matter how many the medicinal pills were, it was also impossible to satisfy the requirements of all martial artists.


    After all, there were too many martial artists and too few alchemists.


    Hence, Empyrean Proudcloud��s territory was virtually crushed by the Myriad Treasure Tower already. His medicine shops could not continue operating anymore.


    Even a blind person could also tell that the Myriad Treasure Tower and Ye Yuan were deliberately squelching Empyrean Proudcloud.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��How to save you? Our six great holy lands already can��t save ourselves now, and you��re still counting on us to go and save you? Didn��t you hear? Just earlier, Eastfence Great Imperial Capital had already completely fallen and became the Myriad Treasure Tower��s territory?��


    Eastfence Great Imperial Capital was a very important great imperial capital in Empyrean Pilljade��s hands. Its status was similar to that of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s Longwind Great Imperial Capital.


    Even Eastfence Great Imperial Capital had fallen into enemy hands, it could be imagined how dangerous the current situation was.


    At this time, Empyrean Wenlan could not resist saying, ��Humph! Proudcloud, you still have the cheek to say that! If not for you, this kind of situation also wouldn��t have appeared! Back then, if you lowered your head to Ye Yuan, how can we get into such a mess?��


    His losses were also extremely devastating, his mood very bad.


    Seeing Empyrean Proudcloud jump out, he finally could not resist bursting out.


    Empyrean Proudcloud said in a great rage, ��Wenlan, you��re shooting me at this time now? Back then, I wonder who was it that banged his fist on the table and yelled bravo, and even said that they wanted a share of the loot?��


    ��You!�� Empyrean Wenlan was stifled, but he was unable to refute Empyrean Proudcloud.


    When Ye Yuan withdrew from the Southern Border Alliance, Empyrean Wenlan clapped his hands and cheered at that time.


    Furthermore, in the beginning, because of face, he was embarrassed to make a move to swallow Ye Yuan��s territory.


    But later, he had indeed reached his hands out to Ye Yuan��s territory.


    ��Enough!�� Empyrean Pilljade yelled furiously and said, ��What��s the use of arguing now? If you have the time, then why not think about how to salvage our position in this declining state?!��


    Empyrean Windrider said, ��Right now, it isn��t just the problem of defeat! For the sake of the operation this time, we��ve virtually mobilized all of the Southern Border��s elite alchemists and refined large batches of medicinal pills. If these medicinal pills are unable to be sold, they will rot inside the warehouses.��


    Empyrean Blazing Sun also said with a solemn face, ��This time is different from the past. As long as medicinal pills are stored properly, they will always sell. But these medicinal pills that Ye Yuan took out have already rolled out across the board in the Southern Border. Once they become conventional medicinal pills, our medicinal pills won��t be able to sell at all!��


    Empyrean Lumen let out a slight sigh, and said, ��I urged you all back then, but you all wouldn��t listen. Now, it��s too late to regret!��


    The others were silent.


    Empyrean Lumen warned them back then, saying that Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao was extremely deep, creating several kinds of new pill formulas was not a problem. But no one believed.


    It was just that Empyrean Lumen was still extremely shocked in his heart.


    He thought that he already thought highly of Ye Yuan. He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s performance still exceeded his imaginations.


    As soon as these medicinal pills emerged, it was like martial artists cleansing their marrows, making the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world have an overall reorganization.


    To the six great holy lands, the blow was close to catastrophic.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s gaze flicked, and he opened his mouth and said, ��Now that it has come to this, we already don��t have a way out! Order all medicine shops to lower the prices of medicinal pills by half! If it really doesn��t work, then drop it to 40%, 30%! Since we can��t beat them in terms of quality, we��ll use price to force them into a corner! Can such a colossal Southern Border Alliance be defeated by a mere one person? Then wouldn��t we all become laughingstocks?��


    Hearing Empyrean Pilljade��s words, the other people��s minds quivered.


    Losing a little was much better than medicinal pills rotting in the warehouse.


    The Southern Border Alliance used too much strength this time. The one-off medicinal pills refinement was roughly enough for the various major factions to sell for as long as ten years.


    But this kind of method was a typical example of harming others without benefits; it was too shameless.


    It was just that reaching this point, these heavyweights would not care about whether it was shameless or not.


    Therefore, a drawn-out fierce battle unfolded between the Southern Border Alliance and Myriad Treasure Tower.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower��s medicinal pills were indeed unparalleled under the heavens, refreshing the understanding of all martial artists.


    As soon as the more than ten kinds of medicinal pills were rolled out, it immediately swept through the entire Southern Border, with sky-high praises.


    In contrast, the Southern Border Alliance��s medicinal pills were too lousy.


    However, one could not help that they were shameless!


    If the Myriad Treasure Tower was selling their medicinal pills for 100 thousand high-grade divine essence stones, then the Southern Border Alliance only sold theirs for 50 or even 30 thousand high-grade divine essence stones. This was still very attractive to some bottom-level martial artists.


    For some time, both parties were stalemated there.


    This seesaw battle lasted until the fifth year. Finally, the balance was broken by a series of news.


    Firstly, Empyrean Chaoyuan came out of seclusion and announced to join the Myriad Treasure Tower��s camp.


    The second news, the Beitang Ancient Family and seven great ancient families that were reclusive similarly announced to join the Myriad Treasure Tower��s camp.


    Although Empyrean Chaoyuan was an itinerant cultivator, the forces under his command still could not be underestimated.


    Exiting seclusion this time, he broke through to the half-step Ancestor Realm!


    This kind of strength was an apex existence even when placed in the entire Southern Border. No one dared to overlook him.


    And the addition of the Beitang and other ancient families gave the Southern Border Alliance the most lethal blow.


    The seven great ancient families, each family was an ancient family at the Mt. Tai level of the Southern Border��s alchemy world. Their strength even did not lose to the seven great peak holy lands.


    With their support, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s strength immediately soared by a great deal.


    To the Myriad Treasure Tower, the most important was the problem of resources. After all, it was hard for two fists to fight four hands.


    But although these reclusive ancient families were obscure, they had tremendous influence in terms of resources.


    With this kind of confidence, the Myriad Treasure Tower was not afraid of fighting a protracted war at all.


    You lower your price, I want to see until when you can do so!


    When it reached the eighth year, the Southern Border Alliance finally started collapsing.


    Firstly, a batch of medium and small factions could not bear the stalling and started going out of business one after another.


    The resources grasped in their hands were far too lacking compared to those peak holy lands.


    Right on the heels of that, some grandmasters�� factions also gradually started going bankrupt.


    Later on, even a major force like the Cloudpill Establishment also started to not be able to hold on anymore.


    In the ninth year, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s City Lord Manor was overcast with dark clouds.


    Fatigue and helplessness were written all over the faces of all of the heavyweights.


    ��Brother Pilljade, we can��t continue like this! Carrying on like this, the entire Southern Border will become the Myriad Treasure Tower��s territory!�� Empyrean Remotenight said with a mournful look.


    ��Yeah, this war is a bottomless hole! If we keep dragging on, the resources that we accumulated over a long time will all be gone!�� Another Empyrean was practically crying.

 Chapter 2060 - Lowering Head

    Among the Empyrean powerhouses present, which one did not have abundant net worth?


    In these hundreds of thousands of years, the Southern Border Alliance monopolized more than 70% of the entire Southern Border��s medicinal pills market. The wealth accumulated was incomparably abundant.


    It was just that no matter how abundant, they also could not feed into a bottomless hole!


    Moreover, although their business was huge, the majority of what they gained had to be contributed to Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas.


    Without the protection of Heavenly Emperors, they were nothing.


    Just like the Myriad Treasure Tower, it was precisely because their back was resting against Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure that Flutterfeather had this confidence to make a clean break from the Southern Border Alliance.


    Otherwise, why would these people fight what trade war with Empyrean Flutterfeather? They would have directly called up a bunch of Empyrean powerhouses and annihilated the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Over nine years, these people felt deeply fatigued.


    Fighting a war that could never be won had no meaning whatsoever!


    Especially that Empyrean Chaoyuan and the seven great reclusive ancient families making a move dealt an even more lethal blow to them.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression flickered incessantly, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Really damn it all to hell! I didn��t expect that they actually made the seven great reclusive families come into being unknowingly. Truly off by one move!��


    Empyrean Blazing Sun sighed and said, ��The chips in their hands are too strong! Even for the seven great reclusive ancient families, it��s also impossible to not be moved when they see these medicinal pills. After all, that represents strength!��


    The power of medicinal pills was too strong. It could even create a great ancient family within a short few thousand years.


    Just like Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, celestial deities were already everywhere within a short few hundred years just based on Ye Yuan alone.


    Recalling when Ye Yuan just entered Heavenly Eagle back then, their Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses were merely just two people!


    This was the power of medicinal pills.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower bringing out so many epoch-making medicinal pills in one go, how could reclusive ancient families possibly not be moved?


    ��Sigh, now that it has come to this, saying anymore is useless. In my view, we��d better lower our heads to the Myriad Treasure Tower!�� Empyrean Windrider let out a sigh and said.


    He and Empyrean Lumen were the best of friends. Back then, Empyrean Lumen urged him to not get involved in this messy situation.


    But in front of tremendous profits, Empyrean Windrider still failed to resist in the end.


    Of course, more importantly was that he completely did not believe that a puny little Ye Yuan could make the entire Southern Border change skies.


    But now, reality gave him a merciless slap.


    The Southern Border��s sky really changed!


    With this war, the Southern Border Alliance suffered a great loss in vitality. In the future, they could only look up to the Myriad Treasure Tower for direction.


    Empyrean Windrider��s words pricked everyone��s nerves all at once.


    ��Lower heads,�� these two words were something that they had always had on the tip of their tongues but did not dare to say out too.


    Which of those present were not important figures that made the Southern Border tremble when they stomped their feet? Saying lowering their heads, this sort of phrase, out of their mouths represented humiliation.


    In reality, how could they not tell that this war was hopeless long ago?


    What made them hold on until now was face.


    Killing 1000 of the enemy, losing 800 of your own forces.


    They would rather cause mutual destruction to both sides with the Myriad Treasure Tower than be willing to lower their heads.


    But, reaching today, they still had to lower their heads in the end!


    ��No way! Our Southern Border Alliance unified the Southern Border��s alchemy world, but now, we have to lower our heads to the Myriad Treasure Tower? In the future, who will still think highly of our Southern Border Alliance?�� Empyrean Proudcloud was the first one to jump out to object.


    Of course, he said it with a strong sense of righteousness, but everyone knew what he was plotting.


    It was just that the words he said were also that nerve which everyone felt the most pain. Everyone was silent and did not speak.


    The muscles on Empyrean Pilljade��s face twitched. After remaining silent for a long time, he finally slowly closed his eyes and said, ��Proudcloud, this matter was caused by you, so you go to the Myriad Treasure Tower and lower your head to acknowledge fault! In addition, Younger Brother Windrider, the negotiations with the Myriad Treasure Tower, the full authority will be handed to you. Remember, it��s us admitting defeat to the Myriad Treasure Tower, and not admitting defeat to Ye Yuan!��


    When Empyrean Proudcloud heard that, his face immediately turned ashen, a sense of disgrace instantly welling up in his heart.


    This was Empyrean Pilljade��s action of sacrificing the knights in order to save the queen!


    Empyrean Proudcloud was unwilling, but he had no choice.


    Breaking away from the Southern Border Alliance?


    Ye Yuan had this confidence, but he, Proudcloud, did not.


    Once he broke away from the Southern Border Alliance, his outcome would be being swallowed by everyone present until not even dregs remained!


    ��


    In the tenth year of the fierce fighting, the Southern Border Alliance finally lowered their proud heads and conceded defeat to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    On this day, Empyrean Windrider brought a group of Empyrean powerhouses and came to Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital to negotiate with Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    But Empyrean Flutterfeather hung them out to dry for as long as a month.


    In a pavilion halfway up Cloud Dream Mountain, several figures were currently drinking and chatting away merrily.


    A drunkard old man lauded with praises unceasingly, ��Fine wine! Truly fine wine! Little Friend Ye is well-deserving of the title of grandmaster, drinking this Dreamlike Wine is really like being rapt in a dream!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If Brother Beitang likes it, I��ll order people to bring a few vats over later. But this alcohol isn��t easy to brew. This Ye can��t take much out either.��


    The old man��s eyes lit up when he heard that and said with joy, ��Is this for real?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Could this Ye still bluff Brother Beitang?��


    The old man laughed loudly and said, ��Then this Empyrean won��t be courteous with you!��


    This old man was precisely Beitang Ancient Family��s alchemy master, Beitang Li, whose alchemy strength virtually reaching the grand completion Dao Realm.


    It was just that the Beitang Family tended to be low-profile, so it was not known by outsiders.


    When the others saw the situation, they also asked for the Dreamlike wine from Ye Yuan one after another. Ye Yuan naturally satisfied them one by one.


    The Dreamlike Wine indeed had a superb taste. Even people who did not like to drink alcohol also loved it so much that they could not bear to part with it.


    The seven great ancient families rendered great assistance to the Myriad Treasure Tower this time, Ye Yuan naturally did not stint to give some small gifts as reciprocatory gifts.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather also felt vicissitudes of emotion at one side. Even before starting the war, he also never thought that only using ten years, the Myriad Treasure Tower made the Southern Border Alliance bow their heads in submission like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!


    His initial plan was for the Myriad Treasure Tower to be able to gain a firm foothold under the pincer attack of the Southern Border Alliance. This was already his highest estimated result.


    Who knew that the pill formulas Ye Yuan took out directly swept throughout the entire Southern Border, and the formulas even forced out the seven great ancient families that had always been reclusive.


    These seven great ancient families were not the Myriad Treasure Tower going to beg them one by one, but them taking the initiative to come and implore!


    The attraction of these pill formulas was seriously too great!


    Back then, when these seven great ancient families found the Myriad Treasure Tower, Empyrean Flutterfeather said that these pill formulas were Ye Yuan��s. They refused to believe no matter what and thought that the Myriad Treasure Tower was cherishing their own old broomstick.


    Later, Beitang and the rest were unconvinced and challenged Ye Yuan and were wrecked by Ye Yuan until they returned in great defeat. Only then did they believe that the pill formulas were Ye Yuan��s.


    However, this was also making friends after a fight.


    Right now, Beitang and the seven great ancient families had the greatest esteem for Ye Yuan and already were friends in spite of the differences in age.


    With the allying of the seven great ancient families, the Southern Border Alliance became too weak to stand up to competition.


    After three rounds of drinking, Beitang Li chuckled and said to Ye Yuan, ��Younger Brother Ye, heh heh, our friendship is friendship, business is business. You look �� the Southern Border Alliance has already lowered their heads, shouldn��t our agreement take effect too?��


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��Elder Brother Beitang is really anxious! Would this Ye be a stingy person? The pill formulas will be presented right away!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took out a bunch of jade slips and distributed them respectively to the seven great ancient families�� representatives.

 Chapter 2061 - Admitting Defeat, One Should Have the Manner of Admitting Defeat!!

    It was naturally impossible for the seven great ancient families to help the Myriad Treasure Tower for no reason.


    These ancient families did not emerge and did not take part in the conflicts of the world.


    Since they took part, it was naturally that something that moved them had appeared.


    And this thing was the pill formulas in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Prior to this, Ye Yuan already reached a consensus with the seven great families. As long as the Southern Border Alliance lowered their heads, he was willing to distribute the pill formulas to the seven great ancient families. Each ancient family would get two pill formulas.


    Of course, Ye Yuan would not treat Empyrean Chaoyuan shabbily either.


    Beitang carefully put away the pill formula, an appearance of having obtained a priceless treasure.


    The pill formulas of these conventional medicinal pills could maintain a major family��s long-term prosperity!


    How could he, Beitang Li, not be careful?


    ��Heh, Little Friend Ye is indeed trustworthy! Before I made this trip, Family Head already said that in the future, you��re my Beitang Family��s retainer elder. You keep this token well. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to Little Friend Ye, that��s becoming enemies with my Beitang Ancient Family!��


    Done talking, Beitang Li did not care about whether Ye Yuan agreed or not either, directly shoving the token into Ye Yuan��s hand.


    The other ancient families�� representatives all secretly regretted endlessly, the Beitang Family was a little too shrewd.


    While they could also invite Ye Yuan to be a retainer elder, how could it be as valuable as the Beitang Family who shoved the token first?


    But they still made promises, saying that the token will be delivered very soon.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only accept one by one.


    Ye Yuan was not something who did not appreciate favors. Since people showed a warm attitude, he would not snub them.


    Furthermore, these reclusive families�� strength was not overt. According to what Empyrean Flutterfeather said, each one of these families was very powerful.


    Since that was the case, wouldn��t Ye Yuan finding a few reliable allies for Heavenly Eagle be a good thing?


    Obtaining the pill formulas and getting the Dreamlike Wine, Beitang and the rest were all bursting with joy, bidding farewell and leaving one after another.


    Only at this time did Empyrean Flutterfeather��s eyes glimmer as he said, ��Is it really fine for you to hand the pill formulas to them? You should know the value of these pill formulas.��


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border Alliance are at war, so everyone won��t think of anything. But as time passes, the pill formulas being in the hands of your Myriad Treasure Tower alone, then the Myriad Treasure Tower will become the target of public censure. When the time comes, can you guarantee that Pilljade they all won��t cause problems? Now, there are even the seven great ancient families backing up the Myriad Treasure Tower. No matter how much they covet the pill formulas, they also wouldn��t easily dare to make a move.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with amazement.


    Immediately, the amazement became a bitter smile and he said, ��It��s still you who is far-sighted. Even I had both eyes clouded by this enormous profit!��


    Although the Myriad Treasure Tower was strong, it was impossible to unify the Southern Border just based on a Myriad Treasure Tower.


    It was unless Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure could overpower all of the Heavenly Emperor powerhouses and crown himself king.


    Except, while Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was wrong, he clearly could not accomplish this.


    Since he could not do it, then these pill formulas could not be pocketed without sharing.


    At that time, forces from various places would come and vie.


    In front of enormous profits, perhaps it would even draw out Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. Then there would be no way to clean up the mess.


    Since the pill formulas must be handed out, then building good relations with the few major reclusive ancient families was better than giving it to others.


    Now, Empyrean Flutterfeather was rejoicing greatly for having made such a young friend back then.


    Rather, it was Empyrean Pilljade who clearly had Yun Yi this ace in the hole, but did not know how to cherish and made things difficult for Ye Yuan at every turn.


    Now, he probably regretted it until his intestines were green, right?


    ��


    At City Lord Manor, Lustrous Gold Great Imperial Capital.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather sat up straight, his aura astonishing people around him.


    Empyrean Windrider and Empyrean Proudcloud had ugly expressions. The Myriad Treasure Tower��s airs were too big. No matter what, they came representing the Southern Border Alliance, Empyrean Flutterfeather actually hung them out to dry for more than a month.


    ��Huhu, fellow daoists, right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s stalls are too many, this Empyrean is busy every day and has neglected everyone. I am truly sorry about it.��


    Flutterfeather apologized verbally, but his face did not have any apology at all.


    I did it on purpose, do you have a temper?


    If you have a temper, push it back down for me!


    Sure enough, Empyrean Windrider smiled awkwardly and said, ��Yes, yes! Fellow Daoist Flutterfeather is presently the Southern Border��s in-demand person, so you��re naturally busy. It��s also a should that we wait.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather smiled and said, ��Not at all, not at all! The Myriad Treasure Tower is just a small faction, how can it compare to the Southern Border Alliance��s power and influence? I wonder what Fellow Daoist Windrider came to Lustrous Gold this time for?��


    The meaning of the words was that you bullied people by taking advantage of your power and you bullied the few with an advantage in numbers. Now, weren��t you still annihilated by me?


    Flutterfeather��s words carried some delight in his heart.


    Honestly speaking, when he supported Ye Yuan ardently back then, his heart was actually racing too.


    At that time, how cocky and insufferably arrogant were Empyrean Pilljade they all?


    Ye Yuan was merely asking for an explanation. In the end, he was attacked collectively by Empyrean Pilljade��s rallying and even threatened him, making him not stand on Ye Yuan��s side.


    Now?


    Ye Yuan did not let him down, beating the Southern Border Alliance into a sorry plight by himself.


    Empyrean Windrider��s expression turned stiff, feeling stifled in his heart.


    What did I come for, could it be that you did not know?


    There was no point in slapping people��s faces like that, right?


    ��Haha, Younger Brother Flutterfeather, this old man came this time representing the Southern Border Alliance to request for the Myriad Treasure Tower to lift your hand high in mercy! You look! Our two parties fighting here and there, disregarding losing our harmonious relationship, how awful would it be to end up in a situation of mutual destruction? Moreover, Younger Brother Flutterfeather is also a member of the Southern Border Alliance. Why is there a need to harm the harmony among your own family?�� Empyrean Windrider was helpless and could only say with a fawning smile.


    But when Empyrean Flutterfeather heard this, he sneered coldly in his heart.


    This Southern Border Alliance really wanted face no matter what!


    ��Mutual destruction? Fellow Daoist Windrider is gilding your own face too much! My Myriad Treasure Tower already occupies half of the Southern Border, but you��re telling me mutual destruction now? Moreover, this Empyrean has long already withdrawn from the Southern Border Alliance. You say my own family �� heh heh, this Empyrean am not worthy to be part of you all!�� Flutterfeather said with a cold smile.


    But Windrider took no heed of it and said with a smile, ��I understand Younger Brother Flutterfeather��s meaning, but my Southern Border Alliance is after all the Southern Border��s number one great faction. Even if the Myriad Treasure Tower holds the advantage presently, the Myriad Treasure Tower can��t swallow this massive land of Southern Border!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s gaze turned cold, and he said with a sneer, ��Since that��s the case, this Empyrean doesn��t feel a need to carry on negotiating anymore too. Whatever methods the Southern Border Alliance still has, feel free to use them. My Myriad Treasure Tower will accompany you to the end! Fellow Daoist Windrider, please return!��


    This bunch of guys actually still dared to be so domineering when they came to concede defeat, did they really take themselves to be the victor?


    His Myriad Treasure Tower could not swallow the Southern Border, but was the Southern Border Alliance a monolithic block?


    Really carry on fighting, there would ultimately be someone who could not hold out.


    At that time, the Southern Border Alliance would definitely break up!


    Empyrean Pilljade definitely saw this too, that was why he sent Empyrean Windrider here.


    How could he, Empyrean Flutterfeather, not understand the situation?


    Moreover, the Myriad Treasure Tower currently had the seven great ancient families supporting. So what was he, Flutterfeather, afraid of?


    Empyrean Windrider��s face changed, only then coming to a realization that the present Flutterfeather was already not the Flutterfeather back then!


    Ever since bringing Empyrean Pilljade to his knees in the Cloudpill Summit, the present Empyrean Flutterfeather was already a fierce and ambitious figure!


    ��Younger Brother Flutterfeather, please calm your anger! This Empyrean �� This Empyrean coming this time, it��s actually to represent the Southern Border Alliance to admit defeat. Brother Pilljade has given the verbal order that as long as Younger Brother Flutterfeather is willing, you can return to the Southern Border Alliance at any time. You are still the alliance chief!��


    Empyrean Windrider finally lowered his high head.


    He was the master of an exalted holy land, so when had he lowered his head to someone before?


    But today, he had no choice but to lower his head!


    Saying ��admit defeat�� these two words out of his mouth was as heavy as 30 thousand catties.


    When Empyrean Flutterfeather heard that, he just chuckled and said, ��Admitting defeat, one should have the manner of admitting defeat! It��s just, whether or not we reconcile, Flutterfeather can��t make the decision! If you guys want to bury the hatchet, there must be another person who nods his head!��

 Chapter 2062 - Overwhelmingly Defeating the Southern Border With His Power Alone!

    Standing at the right side and looking at Ye Yuan who had a smile that was not a smile, Empyrean Proudcloud felt uncomfortable as if having eaten a fly.


    After twists and turns, he finally still stood in front of Ye Yuan and was forced to admit his fault!


    If he had long known it would be like this, might as well directly take a step back at that time. It would also not be to an extent of like this right now.


    ��Grandmaster Ye, Proudcloud is here to apologize to you!�� Empyrean Proudcloud said with a solemn face.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said coolly, ��Do you feel that I��ll accept this kind of insincere apology? If you can��t swallow your pride, why not Brother Proudcloud go back right away and prepare for another battle?��


    Empyrean Proudcloud��s face alternated between green and white. So many people were looking at them the moment, and yet he had to apologize to a True God Realm junior in public. This was simply unprecedented humiliation.


    The most important thing was that he apologized and the other party was still not satisfied!


    It was just that he did not see his own expression. How was that an apology? It was clearly coming to demand repayment of a debt.


    Empyrean Windrider also could not endure the sight of it anymore. His brows were furrowing slightly as he said, ��Proudcloud, if you still have no regard for what��s important, this Empyrean can��t protect you anymore after this!��


    Proudcloud��s face changed and he gritted his teeth and said with a bow, ��Grandmaster Ye, the matter previously was all Proudcloud��s fault. I hope that you raise your hand high in mercy and don��t carry on fighting with the Southern Border Alliance anymore!��


    This time, although they could still hear his unwillingness, his attitude was clearly much more sincere.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Forget it. Looking at your reluctant and unwilling appearance, I won��t make things difficult for you. But you wouldn��t be thinking of apologizing to this Ye with a single sentence, right?��


    Proudcloud gritted his teeth and said, ��Of course not! This Empyrean is willing to take out 20% of his territory to give to Grandmaster Ye!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��If you had long known what would happen today, why behave like that back then?��


    Proudcloud was virtually about to explode, but right at this time, he heard Ye Yuan said faintly, ��However �� that was the price for ten years ago. Back then, you invaded and occupied my territory. So this Ye wants an explanation. If you took out 20% of your territory, everything can naturally be discussed. But you all bullied people by taking advantage of your power and forced this Ye and Brother Flutterfeather out of the Southern Border Alliance. At this present time, you want to dismiss us with a mere 20% of your territory?��


    Proudcloud��s territory was not considered big among all of the factions in the first place.


    20% of the territory was sufficient to make his flesh hurt for a long time.


    But hearing Ye Yuan��s words, he knew that this matter was likely unable to be settled anymore.


    ��I wonder just what Grandmaster Ye wants before you��re willing to drop matters?!�� Empyrean Proudcloud closed his two eyes and got ready to risk it all.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Back then, those factions that took part in fighting for the territory all took out 40% of their territory. While you, Empyrean Proudcloud, took out 50% of your territory. If we do like in the past, this matter will be considered dropped.��


    Empyrean Proudcloud��s expression changed wildly and he said furiously, ��You �� You��re bullying people too far!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, his aura suddenly changing as he said in a cold voice, ��I��m bullying people too far? Back then, the agreement was just decided and you all reneged on your words, snatching this Ye��s territory! Yet, you all still felt zero shame and wanted to settle things without even a word of apology. How can there be such a bargain in this world? Later, your Southern Border Alliance sowed discord between Brother Flutterfeather and me in order to deal with this Ye. Later, we were even forced out of the Southern Border Alliance. After that, you all invaded the Myriad Treasure Tower��s territory in a massive invasion and joined forces with a hundred forces to carry out a campaign against the Myriad Treasure Tower. This one event after another, this Ye hasn��t said anything yet. Now, when it came out of your mouth, it came out that this Ye bullying people too far?��


    Each sentence Ye Yuan said, he took a step forward, the momentum astonishing.


    Someone was powerful as Empyrean Proudcloud was actually repeatedly forced back by Ye Yuan.


    When Windrider and the rest saw, they could not help feeling dumbfounded in their hearts.


    A mere True God Realm actually forced back an Empyrean powerhouse!


    But they had to admit that Ye Yuan��s grandmaster air was already formed, the imposing momentum on his body surmounting above all life.


    This aura did not lord over others, but it gave people a feeling akin to that of the mighty ocean, causing them not daring to look straight at him!


    Empyrean Windrider heaved a slight sigh. He knew that Proudcloud was already thoroughly suppressed by Ye Yuan and had no way of negotiating at all anymore.


    ��What Grandmaster Ye said is true. It��s just that �� your demands are a little too harsh, right?�� Windrider spoke up.


    Ye Yuan gave another cold laugh and said, ��Brother Windrider, this is just me and Proudcloud settling some scores. My score with Brother Pilljade and the Southern Border Alliance hasn��t been calculated yet! Don��t put things nicely. This Ye is standing here with the bearing of a victor today. If this Ye was defeated, your methods will likely be ten times fiercer than this Ye, right?��


    Empyrean Windrider��s face changed, but he still said with an awkward smile, ��This �� How can this be possible?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Whether it��s possible or not, you and I have a score in our hearts. So saying anymore is pointless. I��m only asking you, can my demand be satisfied or not?��


    Empyrean Windrider nodded and said, ��Okay, the alliance agrees on their behalf! Whatever conditions Grandmaster Ye still has, why don��t you say it out together.��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��The rest can still be discussed. The Southern Border Alliance will compensate Heavenly Eagle ten million high-grade divine essence stones. In addition, I��ll give a list later. You guys prepare the natural treasures on it and my hurdle will be considered cleared. However, don��t you all think about this being settled all in one go. Only after the divine essence stones and the natural treasures on the list have fully arrived that Brother Flutterfeather will start his negotiations with you all.��


    Empyrean Windrider��s face alternated between green and white. He felt like he was negotiating with an old monster, and not a thousand over years old young man.


    This guy advanced gradually and entrenched himself at every step, not giving you any chance to play tricks at all.


    He just planned to drag it out when Ye Yuan directly throttled him.


    Ten million high-grade divine essence stones were nothing. It was just a single hair from nine oxen to a colossal giant like the Southern Border Alliance.


    But the list that Ye Yuan pulled out would definitely far exceed ten million high-grade divine essence stones.


    Furthermore, these spirit medicines must be very rare. Even if the Myriad Treasure Tower took action, they might not be able to collect them fully.


    This kid was really a bloodsucker!


    But Empyrean Windrider was also clear that Ye Yuan here was merely the small end. The real largest share was still at Empyrean Flutterfeather there.


    The negotiation with the Myriad Treasure Tower was the major thing that had important consequences.


    Empyrean Windrider mused for a while and said, ��Alright, this matter, this Empyrean will agree on behalf of the alliance.��


    ��


    After Empyrean Windrider reached the Myriad Treasure Tower, the news of the Southern Border Alliance suffering a miserable defeat and lowering their heads swept throughout the entire Southern Border like the wind.


    Not only did it cause a great sensation in the alchemy world, it similarly caused a stir in the entire martial arts world.


    Those who were well-informed all understood that the Southern Border Alliance did not lose to the Myriad Treasure Tower but lost to a genius alchemist called Ye Yuan.


    Overwhelmingly defeating the Southern Border with his power alone!


    Ye Yuan��s great fame instantly spread throughout the entire Southern Border.


    ��


    At the Luo Family residence, the Luo Family��s ancestor had an appearance of bitter resentment and being let down.


    He pointed at Luo Tianqi��s nose and scolded him severely, ��You fool! An utter fool! If you enter Grandmaster Ye��s tutelage and achieve the grand completion Dao Realm in the future, you��ll be a great power of this Southern Border! A god-sent opportunity like this, you actually ran in front of Grandmaster Ye to flaunt your prowess? Was your head kicked by a donkey?��


    Luo Tianqi did not give in. He said, ��Ancestor, how could Tianqi have known back then that he, a salted fish, could also gain a new lease on life? Moreover, our Luo Family is backed by a heavenly emperor. So why is there a need to lick his smelly feet?��


    ��You!�� The Luo Family��s ancestor was angered until he blew smoke from all seven orifices, and he roared furiously, ��Scram! Get lost for me! Starting from today, you��ll be confined for 500 years and not permitted to take one step out of your room!��

 Chapter 2063 - Three Bullied Wives

    The one being remorseful and angry was not just the Luo Family��s ancestor. Those geniuses who had the chance to enter Ye Yuan��s tutelage were currently all thumping their chests and stomping their feet at home, regretting endlessly.


    Ye Yuan��s talent was too great. Furthermore, his ability in teaching disciples was similarly powerful.


    A figure able to take out more than ten kinds of pill formulas casually and propel the transformation of the Southern Border��s medicinal pills, how weak could he be in the future?


    Who could guarantee that several tens of thousands of years later, the Southern Border would not produce another Medicine Ancestor level character?


    Even if Ye Yuan could not become a Medicine Ancestor, that was also absolutely a great grandmaster as weighty as Mount Tai.


    Being able to become his disciple, that was a tremendous lucky chance.


    ��Old Man Pilljade is blind, but his great-grandson could see what others could not! Yun Yi, that kid, under Grandmaster Ye��s tutelage, he will definitely be an earth-shaking great character in the future. Perhaps in the future, Old Man Pilljade wouldn��t even be fit to carry shoes for this great-grandson of his!��


    ��This boy is too monstrous. I��m afraid that even the Medicine Ancestor back then also did not have this kind of terrifying strength, right?��


    ��He overturned the entire Southern Border Alliance with his power alone! This kind of heaven-shocking action, he can bear the title of ��Little Medicine Ancestor�� already!��


    ��


    No idea since when, this title of ��Little Medicine Ancestor�� was crowned on Ye Yuan��s head.


    The Southern Border��s various places were virtually all discussing Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had such dazzling strength, bystanders would naturally compare with the number one Alchemy Dao person.


    In the end, they discovered that even when the Medicine Ancestor was returned to his youth, it would likely be hard to reach Ye Yuan��s current height too.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan overpowered all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods in the Cloudpill Summit.


    Later, he even triggered the Sea of Law and entered Ancestor Realm.


    At a young age, he was already a Mount Tai level figure of the alchemy world.


    This kind of achievement, using accomplishment that surpassed ancient and modern times to describe was not the least bit overboard.


    Being carried along by the heaven-shocking momentum, a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City shockingly already became the Southern Border��s eighth great peak holy land.


    Although this did not get the Southern Border Alliance��s acknowledgement, this was already an established fact in the hearts of numerous alchemists.


    More and more alchemists poured into Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    This small city already appeared too overcrowded.


    Ye Yuan opening his mouth and exorbitantly demanding ten million high-grade divine essence stones from the Southern Border Alliance were done in order to expand the city.


    Ten million high-grade divine essence stones, even at great imperial capital this level, it was also a massive resource.


    For close to ten years, Ye Yuan also accumulated a sum of tremendous wealth from cooperating with the Myriad Treasure Tower. It was sufficient to use to expand the city.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border Alliance��s negotiations were currently carrying out a seesaw game.


    Actually, Ye Yuan and Flutterfeather were both clear in their hearts that just based on a Myriad Treasure Tower, even if adding in the seven great reclusive ancient families, they also could not devour the Southern Border, this piece of fatty meat.


    This stall ultimately still had to be branched out.


    Otherwise, what would they still sit down and discuss?


    With the Myriad Treasure Tower��s strength presently, eliminating the Southern Border Alliance was simply as easy as counting numbers, but it was not easy to annex the territories.


    But even if they could not devour it, the Myriad Treasure Tower also had to fight for the maximization of benefits.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower ultimately still had to join the Southern Border Alliance. It was just that the division of profits naturally could not be like in the past anymore.


    The suggestion that Ye Yuan gave Flutterfeather was not to ask for too much of their territories, but the pill formulas must be grasped in their hands.


    The Southern Border Alliance would definitely covet the pill formulas. The Myriad Treasure Tower��s goal was to turn the Southern Border Alliance into their sellers.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower provided the medicinal pills, while the Southern Border Alliance only had the selling rights. At that time, the profits would be divided again.


    This way, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s position of alliance chief would be as solid as a metal bucket.


    As for medicinal pills, presently with the support of the seven great reclusive ancient families, they could be refined without ceasing.


    These alchemy ancient families normally stayed hidden and did not emerge. But that was just relatively speaking.


    For ancient family disciples to want to cultivate, it naturally could not do without large sums of divine essence stones.


    This kind of remote controlling method was these reclusive ancient families�� favorite method of earning money.


    Of course, this was something that Empyrean Flutterfeather needed to worry about, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to go and care.


    Regardless of what the final outcome was, he just needed to sit and wait to get his share of the money.


    On this day, Ye Yuan was currently in his manor cultivating when suddenly, someone came to report that Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Empyrean Lu Yan came to request an audience.


    Ye Yuan was slightly taken aback and immediately understood something, the corners of his mouth revealing a trace of a smile.


    At the City Lord Manor, Ye Yuan sat high up at the court, while the exalted Empyrean Lu Yan could only stand with his hands by the side below.


    Looking at the Ye Yuan who was akin to being high in the clouds, Lu Yan felt all sorts of emotions jumbled up in his heart.


    How could he have thought that within the imperial cities that he governed, there would actually be a huge dragon that soared to the sky?


    Although Lu Yan was not someone involved in alchemy, a grand event like the Cloudpill Summit, how could he not know about what happened with his status as an Empyrean?


    When one soul-stirring news after another came over, Lu Yan finally understood just what kind of existence he offended.


    Back then, when Flutterfeather gave Ye Yuan the grandmaster token, beyond his shock, Lu Yan turned his nose up at it more.


    A puny little True God Realm, holding a grandmaster token, going to the Cloudpill Summit to make a spectacle of himself?


    At this age, he should compete with Six-star geniuses honestly and sincerely.


    Be a grandmaster?


    Was he worthy?


    But when one news after another came over, only then did Lu Yan know that Ye Yuan was really worthy of being one!


    But later, with the Myriad Treasure Tower and Southern Border Alliance battling against one another, Lu Yan saw hope again and even expelled the Myriad Treasure Tower, drawing the Cloudpill Establishment, these major factions in.


    In his view, the Myriad Treasure Tower would surely be defeated without a doubt!


    No matter how strong a faction was, how could they possibly be stronger than the entire Southern Border?


    The Southern Border had a boundless expanse of land. Just the great imperial capitals had thousands to tens of thousands.


    How could a mere Myriad Treasure Tower be the Southern Border Alliance��s match?


    But he never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually fought until the Southern Border was utterly destroyed with his power alone, ultimately sending people over to beg for peace.


    Ever since he sent Lu Ziyi over to capture Ye Yuan, he had never had anything go right for him before.


    Toward a mere imperial city, Empyreans could be said to hold power over its life and death.


    Yet, in this Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan gave him one surprise after another.


    The Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital was the Myriad Treasure Tower��s traditional faction. Since they came to beg for peace, the Cloudpill Establishment, these factions, naturally had to withdraw.


    With this, Empyrean Lu Yan was virtually about to cry.


    He thickened his face to go and find the Myriad Treasure Tower, hoping for the Myriad Treasure Tower to rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. But they did not buy it at all.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the instructions concerning the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s affairs that they would not get involved at all.


    Wanting to have the Myriad Treasure Tower rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, it must get Ye Yuan��s approval.


    There was no choice. Under Empyrean Lu Yan��s helplessness, he could only humble himself and come and beg Ye Yuan.


    Normally, forget about that. Without the Myriad Treasure Tower, he could find other forces to refine medicinal pills.


    But the problem was that Ye Yuan poisoned several thousand True God Realms to death previously. The Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital virtually had no power to fight!


    At this juncture, without the support of powerful medicinal pills, he would have to be a lone general without an army for god knows how long.


    The current Empyrean Lu Yan brought along Deng Yunzai and Dai Chunhao, just like three bullied wives; on tenterhooks.


    Empyrean powerhouse, that was the pinnacle-most existence in this secular world, how high-spirited were they?


    They had never thought that they would actually have this kind of emotion in front of a True God Realm junior one day.


    Lu Yan gave a deep bow toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital��s Lu Yan pays respect to Grandmaster Ye!��

 Chapter 2064 - Glory to Live in Heavenly Eagle!

    This young man in front of him was the fellow who killed his precious daughter and slaughtered thousands of his subordinates.


    Now, he actually had to show such solemn respects to the other party. He had no way to describe how uncomfortable this was.


    But he also understood that with Ye Yuan��s present status in the Southern Border, even if ten Lu Yans added up, he would also be inferior.


    If not being backed by a heavenly emperor, Ye Yuan could plow Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital ten times over by randomly calling a few Empyreans.


    Think about what kind of people Ye Yuan was associating with now?


    Empyrean Flutterfeather, Empyrean Chaoyuan, and it was said that there were also the seven great reclusive alchemy ancient families�� super powerhouses.


    Any one of these people was not an existence that he could provoke.


    Although the present Ye Yuan was still True God Realm, he already made him unable to look up to him.


    ��Empyrean Lu Yan coming to find this Ye, it really surprises me greatly!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Lu Yan had an awkward look as he said, ��This �� The matters in the past was all this Lu who had eyes but couldn��t discern Grandmaster Ye��s true face, resulting in affronting Grandmaster. I hope that Grandmaster Ye is magnanimous and don��t haggle over it with us.��


    Being under people��s roof, there was no choice but to lower one��s head.


    At this time, how could an Empyrean��s face still be wanted?


    Moreover, even the Southern Border Alliance��s big shots all lowered their heads and admitted their fault to Ye Yuan. What��s wrong with him, a mere Second Firmament Empyrean, lowering his head?


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��If apologies have any use, then what do we still cultivate for? Lu Yan, back then, you commanded an army of 100 thousand martial artists and several thousand True God powerhouses. If this Ye��s strength was lacking, this Heavenly Eagle would likely have not even dogs or fowls left anymore. You want to let matters go with this one light and fleeting sentence? Moreover, these few years, you all drove out the Myriad Treasure Tower. It��s clearly remnant hatred that��s outstanding. Why do you all feel that �� this Ye should help you guys?��


    Ye Yuan was not a narrow-minded person. However, the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital had an appearance of showing disdain on everyone and everything starting with Lu Ziyi, deciding people��s life and death at the drop of a hat, making him extremely unhappy.


    Later, Lu Yan even dispatched an army of 100 thousand, claiming that he was going to slaughter the city.


    If not for Ye Yuan killing several thousand True Gods with ruthless means, how could there still be any Heavenly Eagle Imperial City currently?


    Lu Yan three people had awkward faces. At that time, both parties were akin to fire and water. Even now, they still had a blood feud.


    It was just that circumstances were stronger than people. Lu Yan three people had to implore Ye Yuan and had no choice but to lower their heads!


    ��What Grandmaster Ye says is true. Back then, our hearts were blinded. That��s why we��d be like that. In order to express our apology, we brought some gifts over. We hope that Grandmaster Ye will kindly accept them,�� Lu Yan said.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard this. He then said, ��Lu Yan, it��s not that this Ye is looking down on you, but can your Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital take out something that moves this Ye?��


    When the three people heard that, they could not help choking.


    That was true. With Heavenly Eagle��s present power and influence, they would be controlling 10% of the Southern Border��s medicinal pills market very soon. How astonishing was this wealth?


    A mere Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital, even if these three great Empyreans took out all of their assets, Ye Yuan would completely turn his nose up at it too!


    The three people exchanged glances and were like eggplants hit by frost; actually at a loss on what to do for a moment.


    Although they were of noble Empyrean bodies, it was too insignificant in front of the present Ye Yuan!


    Just as the three people lost all hope, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, ��You all coming to find me, it��s simply to get the Myriad Treasure Tower to rejoin the Five Firmament Great Imperial Capital. I��ll give you all a chance, but whether you do it or not is up to you guys.��


    The moment the three people heard, they could not help being overjoyed.


    But very soon, Lu Yan��s face fell again.


    He knew that the thing Ye Yuan was making them do definitely would not be that easy.


    ��Brother Lu Yan, what are you still in a daze for? Grandmaster Ye already said to give us a chance!�� Deng Yunzai urged.


    He already could not endure the present days anymore, the Deng Family had already run out of resources for as long as several years.


    If there were still no medicinal pills provided, all of their Deng Family members�� cultivation would probably get delayed.


    So the moment he heard Ye Yuan��s words, Deng Yunzai agreed without thinking.


    Lu Yan��s face changed several times. Ye Yuan did not urge either, just quietly waiting for a response.


    Suddenly, Lu Yan��s face turned intent, seemingly making up his mind, and said in a solemn voice, ��Whatever orders Grandmaster Ye has, this Lu will definitely do it!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Good, I want the three of you to extend a formal apology in front of everyone in the city! Also, swear a solemn oath in front of everybody to never invade Heavenly Eagle in this lifetime. Don��t use this sort of expression to look at me. It��s not this Ye intentionally making things difficult for you all, but that you owe them an apology!��


    When the three people heard that, their faces changed rapidly.


    Inside this tiny little City Lord Manor, the three of them lowering their heads to Ye Yuan. Although this was humiliating, it was actually nothing much.


    With Ye Yuan��s present identity and status, he could bear their apology.


    But, making them apologize to those ants with their Empyrean bodies, that was another matter altogether.


    With this apology, it would be known to millions. Where would their old faces go in the future?


    Reaching their level of realm, forfeiting their integrity was minor, losing face was huge!


    Looking at the three people whose faces were flickering intermittently, Ye Yuan slowly stood up and left with his hands behind his back.


    ��You all have three days�� time to consider. After three days, if you haven��t replied, you all can leave on your own.��


    Beside the three people��s ears came Ye Yuan��s drawn-out voice.


    ��


    Five days later, at Heavenly Eagle��s Pill Tower square, countless martial artists and alchemists were gathered here.


    Among the people present, some people had been through that earth-shaking great battle. There were also people that joined Heavenly Eagle afterward and knew absolutely nothing about this.


    But very soon, they learned the whole story of that earth-shaking great battle from other people��s mouths and was immediately shocked speechless.


    Only then did they know that Grandmaster Ye still had such a brilliant battle record!


    Annihilating several thousand True Gods with his power alone, creating three great Empyreans with alchemy, six great Empyreans coming to help out from all over the land, forcing a heavenly emperor to give in.


    This kind of battle record was truly fascinating.


    But they also learned at the same time why the martial artists in the city loved and respected Grandmaster Ye so much.


    Grandmaster Ye became furious to the extreme not for his lover, but it was merely for a nameless kid called Jiang Ming.


    This kind of benevolent master, was he not worthy of following?


    Of course, many people present were very disdainful.


    ��Tsk, what does this count as? Presently, Grandmaster Ye defeated the Southern Border with his power alone; that is a truly heaven-shocking battle!��


    ��Hahaha! Reasonable, reasonable!��


    Everyone burst into laughter.


    ��But today, Grandmaster Ye still made three great Empyreans apologize to the whole city for our sakes!�� The eyes of the martial artists that had experienced that battle brimmed over with hot tears.


    ��Recalling back then, it was really like a dream. At that time, these three great Empyreans were gods in the sky in our eyes, crushing until all of us could not catch our breath. But now, a word from Grandmaster Ye can make them bow their heads in submission! It��s glorious to live in Heavenly Eagle!��


    Unknowingly, the horizons of Heavenly Eagle��s martial artists also broadened significantly.


    The originally incomparably mysterious Empyreans in their eyes already became normal.


    They all understood that it was not that they got strong, but that Grandmaster Ye became powerful!


    This one sentence stirred up the sense of identity of all the martial artists. Everyone raised their hands and started shouting.


    ��Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!��


    ��Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!��


    ��Glory to live in Heavenly Eagle!��


    ��


    On this day, three great Empyreans apologized in public. The Southern Border was shocked.

 Chapter 2065 - It’s You All Who Haven’t Seen Much of the World

    The void vibrated, several young girls fluttering with immortal qi slowly walked out.


    The girl in the front was dressed in clothes whiter than snow. Although she was not a beauty, she was also quite pretty. It was just that there was an additional trace of viciousness between her brows, giving people a feeling of keeping strangers away.


    The few people strained their eyes and looked into the distance. A large-scale city rose up from the ground ahead, looking magnificent.


    Beside the white-clothed girl, one of them said, ��Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, this is the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City that Little Junior Sister said, right? I didn��t expect that a mere imperial city is actually so magnificent too!��


    Mentioning that Little Junior Sister, a hint of disdain and mockery flashed across in her eyes.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun pursed her mouth and said scornfully, ��A mere imperial city made so luxuriously, the person managing affairs must like to do grandiose things to impress people, not making any contributions. Humph! I get angry at the mention of that wretched girl! If not for her, we also wouldn��t have needed to travel across the Heavenspan Mountain and run to the Southern Border from the Northern Border.��


    The pretty junior apprentice sister smiled and said, ��That wretched girl feels that she has the Profound Yin Divine Physique and looks down on Eldest Senior Sister. Master��s kindness toward her is as weighty as a mountain, but she doesn��t think about repaying it, and even wanted us senior apprentice sisters to run here from far away to capture people! Really damn it! When we capture the person she��s in love with, we��ll have to teach him a good lesson.��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun did not express anything and just said coolly, ��Come on, enter the city first before talking. Figure out that kid��s situation first. Otherwise, if we beat the grass and startle the snake, it wouldn��t be good if he runs.��


    The party of five followed the crowd and entered Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Only after entering the city did the five people detect Heavenly Eagle��s prosperity. It actually did not lose to ordinary imperial capitals. This made them very surprised.


    Compared to the number of martial artists here, this city was not big, but appeared too small.


    ��Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, is this really a little imperial city? Why do I feel like this place is even more flourishing than the average imperial capital?�� The pretty junior apprentice sister looked left and right and said in surprise.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun frowned and said, ��This place has medicine shops in great numbers, alchemy prevalent, looks rather like an alchemy holy land. That girl said before that her little lover is an alchemist. Looks like it matches. There��s an inn ahead. Let��s go over and inquire about it.��


    The few people entered an inn and found a table next to a window and sat down.


    When the waiter came over, the pretty junior apprentice sister hurriedly asked, ��Waiter, I see that your Heavenly Eagle Imperial City seems to have a lot of alchemists!��


    The moment the waiter heard, he could not help saying with a proud look, ��Ladies, you came from other places, right? Huhu, our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is the Southern Border��s number one alchemy holy land. If you want to request for pills, then you came to the right place.��


    The moment the few junior apprentice sisters heard this, they could not help snickering.


    The pretty junior apprentice sister said in amusement, ��Number one in the Southern Border? A little imperial city also dare claim to be the Southern Border��s number one? Your place is remote and has probably never seen before how big the world outside is, right?��


    Her meaning was saying that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s people had never seen much of the world.


    It was just that the pretty junior apprentice sister��s laughing made everyone around her laugh instead.


    ��Little girl, not that we haven��t seen the world. It��s that you all haven��t seen how big the world is! You go out and inquire and you��ll know that our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City is number one in this Southern Border. I guarantee this is the truth!��


    ��Haha, even if Seven-star Alchemy Gods arrived at our Heavenly Eagle, they also have to bend their backs and walk!��


    ��Little girl, do more homework before going out. Otherwise, you��ll become a joke when you reach the place!��


    ��


    There were kind laughters all around. But it was incomparably ear-piercing to these few people.


    The pretty junior apprentice sister��s face turned red and was about to fly off the handle, but she heard Senior Apprentice Sister Xun cough lightly.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun looked at the waiter and asked, ��This little brother, since your place here is an alchemy holy land, then have you heard of a young man called Ye Yuan before?��


    As if afraid that the waiter had not heard of him before, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun added, ��Heard that his age isn��t old, his alchemy skills �� should still be passable.��


    The moment these words came out, the whole place was silent. Extremely strange looks appeared on everyone��s faces.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and everyone immediately also realized that something was wrong. Could it be that her words violated some taboo?


    But they did not take it to heart. A mere imperial city, even if it violated some taboo, what could they do to her?


    ��Why? Did this young lady say something wrong?�� Senior Apprentice Sister Xun asked curiously.


    The waiter revealed a strange look and said, ��That��s not it, however �� if Lord Ye��s alchemy skill is still passable, then other alchemists can find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.��


    ��Oh? In that case, he��s very impressive?�� Senior Apprentice Sister Xun did not take it seriously and asked coolly.


    She was already very convinced that the people of this imperial city developed a wildly arrogant personality because it was too out-of-the-way.


    Think that they were invincible under the heavens with a few formidable alchemists in the city.


    Ignorance was truly terrifying!


    She had still heard of the Southern Border��s alchemy world before. The most powerful ones were Empyrean Pilljade as well as the leaders of the six great holy lands.


    When was it a puny little imperial city��s turn to assume hegemony?


    The waiter smiled and said, ��Impressive? Huhu, more than just impressive! Tell you this then. Even if Seven-star Alchemy Gods came, they would also have to respectfully call His Excellency ��grandmaster��!��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun pursed her mouth, a disdainful look on her face.


    This bunch of country bumpkins was truly wildly conceited to the extreme!


    But the waiter was not aware at all and said without caring about others, ��Heh heh, turns out that you want to meet Lord Ye. Then you all came to the right place. If it��s at other places, you really can��t meet him. But Lord Ye likes our shop and frequently comes to patronize our shop. Eh, what a coincidence, Lord Ye is here!��


    The waiter shot a glance and just happened to see a young man bringing two followers downstairs, coming up the inn slowly.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s gaze turned intent, a hint of joy flashing across in her eyes.


    It was truly wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search and finding it by chance without even looking for it!


    When the waiter saw that Ye Yuan came, he hurriedly went over to greet. Ye Yuan already went up the second floor.


    ��Haha, Lord Ye is here, the box room is already prepared, Your Excellency please enter.�� The waiter said with a broad grin.


    Ye Yuan casually fished out a piece of high-grade divine essence stones and threw it to the waiter, saying with a smile, ��Thanks for the trouble. Take this.��


    The waiter received it with a chuckle and said smilingly, ��Thank you, Your Excellency, for the reward!��


    At this time, the second floor��s guests all stood up and gave a bow towardsYe Yuan, shouting in unison, ��Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a laugh, ��All sit, all sit. This Ye��s mouth was just feeling itchy and came to have some dishes.��


    Everyone laughed and all sat down.


    Ye Yuan being close to the civilians was known to all in Heavenly Eagle. Hence, everyone did not mind and were also not scared that they would affront Ye Yuan.


    Rather, when Ye Yuan glimpsed and saw Senior Apprentice Sister Xun five people, his brows could not help furrowing.


    These few people concealed their cultivation and seemed �� to have enmity towards me?


    No time for him to think too much either, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun five people already got up.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun used a tone of looking down from a height and said coolly, ��You��re Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��It��s precisely this Ye.��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun continued, ��Then do you know Lu-er?��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his expression changed wildly.


    When Senior Apprentice Sister Xun saw Ye Yuan��s expression, she was immediately certain and said indifferently, ��Looks like I��m right. Lian Xin, take him down.��

 Chapter 2066 - Crushing the Enemy With One Punch

    ��Yes, Senior Apprentice Sister!��


    Behind Senior Apprentice Sister Xun, a girl in palace attire answered and stepped out.


    Following her taking a step out, her aura rose straight up, reaching peak Fifth Firmament True God very soon.


    That Lian Xin had a proud look, her gaze sweeping over everyone��s faces, hoping to see worshipping looks from the eyes of the people crowding around and watching.


    A middle-stage True God mighty expert was a god in imperial cities!


    It was just too bad that she was disappointed.


    The diners were indeed somewhat surprised at first because they did not think that these beautiful ladies actually wanted to deal with Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, the expressions of these diners calmed down. And in their gazes, it even carried a trace of pity.


    Even though these people��s strength did not pass Celestial Deity Realm at the highest.


    The big spectacles that Heavenly Eagle��s martial artists had experienced before were too many. Forget about a measly little True God Realm, even if it was an Empyrean powerhouse, didn��t they also apologize to everyone obediently?


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xuan said coolly, ��Just break the four limbs will do, don��t harm his life. Otherwise, that slut will probably threaten to kill herself.��


    The moment these words came out, Ye Yuan��s face fell.


    Originally, when he suddenly heard Lu-er��s news, he even thought that she was pretty good with these girls. Who knew that the other party wanted to break his four limbs the moment they made their move?


    A surge of evil fire immediately rose in Ye Yuan��s heart!


    ��Senior Apprentice Sister, rest assured. Lian Xin knows how far to go and when to stop. This kind of trash, whichever place I want to break him, it will be broken there.��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun nodded her head, clearly thinking so too.


    The current Ye Yuan looked to be just Celestial Deity Realm cultivation too. He was utterly not worth mentioning in her eyes.


    It was not that Ye Yuan was deliberately concealing his cultivation, but that he traveled incognito and did not wish to swagger through the streets.


    But in the eye of Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and her group., he became a target that could be kneaded as they pleased.


    Finished talking, Lian Xin��s palm reached over, aiming for Ye Yuan��s shoulder blade.


    A surge of ice laws instantly spread out, enveloping over toward Ye Yuan. The entire space seemed like it was going to be frozen.


    This palm was very swift and fierce, if hit, the shoulder blade would definitely shatter.


    ��Humph! Acting recklessly and blindly!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, bending his fingers into a claw, and actually reached first despite launching later, directly disregarding Lian Xin��s domain.


    Crack!


    It was only to hear a crisp sound. Lian Xin fell to the ground with a painful cry. Her shoulder blade bones were already crushed.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s pupils constricted and she cried out in surprise, ��Spatial law!��


    Ye Yuan ignored Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s surprise and said in a solemn voice, ��Where��s Lu-er? Who are you people?��


    These few girls clearly did not have good intentions. Most likely, Lu-er��s current situation was also not much better, Ye Yuan was naturally anxious in his heart.


    After a brief surprise, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun recovered her calmness, her mouth curling as she said, ��I underestimated you, but do you think that you can be unbridled because you know a bit of spatial law? Don��t you worry. After breaking your four limbs, this young lady will slowly tell you that slut��s news on the way. Huan Yi, teach him how to behave properly!��


    ��Yes, Senior Apprentice Sister!��


    The pretty girl smiled sweetly and turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��No wonder that slut always kept you in her thoughts. I didn��t expect that your talent is actually not weaker than hers, cultivating to become a Fifth Firmament True God in a short 1000 years. However, it��s useless. You dared to hurt my Ice Cloud Tower��s disciples, it won��t be as simple as breaking four limbs!��


    While talking, Huan Yi��s aura gradually grew stronger.


    Taking three steps out, her aura already rose to Sixth Firmament True God!


    But when that waiter saw the situation, he shook his head slightly and said with a sigh, ��Really a little girl who hasn��t seen much of the world before. Asking for trouble!��


    When others all nodded slightly when they heard it, deeply feeling that way too.


    If Ye Yuan was just an ordinary martial artist, they would definitely be worried for his safety.


    But the one standing here was Ye Yuan. Even Lu Ziyi, that kind of genius who comprehended five kinds of laws, died in Ye Yuan��s hands.


    These few little girls in front of them thought that their strength was powerful, but actually, in Ye Yuan��s eyes, they were simply ants.


    The waiter��s voice was not concealed. Hearing the waiter��s words, her pretty face could not help turning cold, suddenly pointing a finger out, and actually pointed at the waiter.


    ��Ignorant ant, go and die!��


    The waiter was merely Divine Lord Realm cultivation. Being hit by this finger, he would definitely be frozen into an ice sculpture.


    But the waiter did not have the intention of dodging, because he knew that Ye Yuan would not let him die.


    ��Humph! You��re the ignorant ant!��


    Ye Yuan had long lost his patience. The other party kept on calling slut, how could he not be furious?


    It was only to see his figure arriving in front of Huan Yi like a ghost.


    Huan Yi knew that Ye Yuan knew spatial law and was actually long prepared.


    But even so, she still jumped in fright from Ye Yuan��s ghostly figure.


    Huan Yu��s ice law suddenly released, rushing toward Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    But sadly, Ye Yuan did not give her the chance at all.


    Smash!


    A clear slap sounded out, Huan Yi was directly slapped flying out.


    This time, Ye Yuan did not stop, figure moving once more, already arriving in front of Senior Apprentice Sister Xun.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun laughed coldly, the aura on her body suddenly releasing. She was shockingly Seventh Firmament True God!


    ��Courting death!��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s reaction was also extremely fast. With a cry, her long sword was already in her hand in a twinkle,


    But Ye Yuan did not dodge or avoid, a fist met with Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s sword.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually used his physical body to forcefully resist her true god mystic treasure, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun was even more scornful in her heart.


    ��Ice Sleet Sword[1]!��


    It was only to see the tip of her sword point. Countless ice sleets extended out of the void, piercing straight for Ye Yuan.


    Those ice sleets were condensed by her with the power of law, the power immense. Each one was akin to a sharp sword. Even if a Seventh Firmament True God forcefully resisted it, they would also have to be poked into a mesh.


    Ye Yuan actually forcefully resisted with his fleshy body. In her eyes, he was simply courting death.


    But very soon, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s expression changed wildly.


    Because Ye Yuan rushed over!


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    It was only to see golden light radiate brilliantly on Ye Yuan��s body. When those ice sleets touched the golden light, they were directly split into two, like ordinary ice cones.


    These ice sleets that were able to pierce a Seventh Firmament True God to death were actually unable to stop Ye Yuan in the slightest?


    How could she know that when Ye Yuan broke through domineeringly at Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital the last time, his physical body already broke through to late-stage sixth transformation?


    Even when encountering a high-grade true god mystic treasure, he did not fear in the slightest too, let alone ice sleets condensed from mere power of law.


    At this moment, Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s move was already ending and did not have time to change moves at all.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s punch slam over, she did not have time to think too much, power of law erupting suddenly on her body. All around her body was actually covered in layers of ice armor.


    Ye Yuan did not care and directly slammed a punch on it.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun vomited a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, figure directly flying out of the inn, her life and death unknown.


    ��Tianping, bring her to the City Lord Manor!�� Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    ��Yes, Your Excellency!��


    Ning Tianping had followed Ye Yuan for a long time and knew that Ye Yuan was currently already enraged to the extreme. At once, he did not dare to dawdle, his figure going out of the inn with a dash.


    The Ice Cloud Tower��s few disciples looked at Ye Yuan like seeing a ghost, their gazes full of shock.


    Huan Yi covered her face and cried out in surprise, ��Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s ice law is already cultivated to late-stage rank six, but she was �� actually sent flying with one punch?��


    She could not help it but to be shocked.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun was a small stage higher than Ye Yuan. Her ice law was also cultivated to late-stage rank six already. Her strength could also rank in the top five among the Ice Cloud Tower��s young generation. She actually could not even not block one of his punches?


    Was this fellow still human?


    ��Heh heh, I already said that you all haven��t seen much of the world. How can His Excellency��s strength be what you all, these little fellows, can judge?��


    The waiter had a smug look as if the one who won was him.


    [1] not sure if icicle would be better, because different term.

 Chapter 2067 - Northernmost Steppe

    Returning to the City Lord Manor, Ye Yuan was too impatient to wait to interrogate Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and the rest.


    Lu-er��s departure was a thousand years ago without news.


    Over these 1000 years, Ye Yuan was constantly worried about her news.


    It was just that the Heavenspan World was so big, so where would Ye Yuan go and find?


    Now, he finally managed to hear Lu-er��s news. Ye Yuan��s emotion had been uneasy since then.


    Moreover, he even knew that this piece of news definitely would not be too good.


    Ning Tianping dragged Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and threw her in front of Ye Yuan. Senior Apprentice Sister Xun started coughing fiercely.


    Huan Yi and the rest looked at Ye Yuan with terrified faces, full of disbelief.


    This man in front of them was too powerful. One punch had beaten Senior Apprentice Sister Xun to heavy injuries.


    ��Speak! Where��s Lu-er now? I hope that you all don��t force me to search your souls!�� Ye Yuan looked at Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and said coldly.


    ��Cough, cough �� your realm isn��t even as high as mine. Want to use soul searching art on this young lady? Cough, cough �� bring it on!�� Senior Apprentice Sister Xun said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan��s realm was not as high as hers, so his divine soul was naturally not as strong as hers.


    If he cast soul-search, not only would it not succeed, it would harm his own divine soul instead.


    Ye Yuan��s face fell and he said, ��Since that��s the case, you go and die then!��


    Presumably, this woman never did anything good for Lu-er too. If killed, then killed. Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burden.


    An ocean-like soul force poured out of Ye Yuan��s mind sea.


    The faces of the few girls changed wildly, only then knowing that Ye Yuan was not joking around.


    Breaking through the last time, Ye Yuan absorbed the Sea of Law, his divine soul already reached the limit of True God Realm.


    ��Stop! I��ll say! I��ll say!�� Senior Apprentice Sister Xun screamed.


    ��Too late!��


    Ye Yuan did not give her the chance at all, directly attacking Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s mind-sea.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s divine soul attacked in retaliation frenziedly. Ye Yuan just gave a cold snort, the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s power suddenly poured out, instantly tearing down all of her resistance.


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest sympathy, reading Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s divine soul roughly.


    One scene after another flashed across in Ye Yuan��s mind. The more he looked, the angrier he got.


    It turned out that the Northern Border had a region called Northernmost Steppe. That place was a land of bitter coldness, factions complicated and complex. Things were not well-defined like the Southern Border, belonging to some Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda.


    That place was a no man��s land. Heavenly Emperors did not have any interest in this region at all. Hence, it was divided up by major and minor forces.


    But as a matter of fact, there were nine great Empyrean-level factions that were the strongest here.


    This Ice Cloud Tower was one of the Empyrean-level forces.


    Roughly a thousand years ago, Lu-er appeared at the Northernmost Steppe by some unknown means and was taken fancy on by the Ice Cloud Tower��s master. She was then taken in as a disciple.


    Back then, Lu-er was merely Heaven Glimpse Realm, but the Ice Cloud Tower��s cultivation method was extremely suitable for Lu-er.


    By relying on the Profound Yin Divine Physique, her cultivation speed was extremely fast.


    Over a thousand years, she already cultivated to True God Realm. At present, she was already a Fifth Firmament True God powerhouse.


    Of course, this was also all thanks to Ye Yuan.


    Back then, he helped Lu-er��s Nine Yin Divine Link Meridian to improve further with divine pills, evolving to become the Profound Yin Divine Physique. That was how there was the present Lu-er.


    But walking along this path, Lu-er suffered considerable hardships.


    This Senior Apprentice Sister Xun was envious that not only was Lu-er pretty, but her cultivation talent was also even extremely high.


    In fact, back then, because Lu-er violated a rule, she hung Lu-er up to beat, beating until Lu-er nearly died.


    If not for Second Senior Sister helping out later, Ye Yuan probably would not be able to see Lu-er anymore.


    Of course, although this Senior Apprentice Sister Xun was jealous, she only listened to others.


    The one who really wanted to deal with Lu-er was Eldest Senior Sister, He Xiangyun!


    As for that Ice Cloud Tower��s master, she had an attitude of letting things take their course.


    Although this Ice Cloud Tower��s was a female force, under the environment of the Northernmost Steppe, they were mostly self-centered, and would not care about the life and death of the people below at all.


    In this Ice Cloud Tower, to really talk about treating Lu-er well, there was only Second Senior Sister, Yang Fei-er.


    This time, the reason why Xun Qingling came to find Ye Yuan was because another of the Northernmost Steppe��s Empyrean-level force��s young lord took fancy on Lu-er, intimidating the Ice Cloud Tower��s tower master with threats and beguiling with benefits, making her marry Lu-er to him.


    The Ice Cloud Tower��s master could not resist the temptation and finally still agreed.


    It was just that Lu-er threatened to die. That was how the Ice Cloud Tower��s master did not succeed.


    Lu-er��s thoughts were pure and her feelings for Ye Yuan were known by Eldest Senior Sister He Xiangyun long ago. Hence, she suggested to the Ice Cloud Tower��s master to capture Ye Yuan to threaten Lu-er, and force Lu-er to give in.


    The moment the Ice Cloud Tower��s master heard this, she was overjoyed and immediately allowed it.


    Because she knew that the place Ye Yuan was at was merely an imperial city, so sending Xun Qingling over was already more than sufficient.


    It was just that the Ice Cloud Tower��s master never dreamed that with Ye Yuan��s present strength, killing Xun Qingling was merely a matter of flicking a finger.


    Moreover, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s strength at present was not the slightest bit weaker than Ice Cloud Tower.


    What was laughable was that Xun Qingling and co. thought that they were powerful and came over to capture people without even making inquiries, resulting in being directly annihilated by Ye Yuan.


    ��You all, very good!��


    When he said this, Ye Yuan��s teeth creaked from grinding.


    When the Ning Tianping and Bai Chen by the side saw this scene, they could not help secretly being speechless.


    They did not know what Ye Yuan saw in Xun Qingling��s divine soul, but they rarely saw such a furious expression on Ye Yuan before. It could be seen that Ye Yuan was already enraged to the extreme.


    ��Y-Your Excellency spare our lives!�� How could the few girls still have any proud appearance? They were already terrified to the extreme.


    ��Heh, this Ye isn��t someone who kills indiscriminately. It��s just that you all normally treated Lu-er like that, so you can��t be spared!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan waved a hand. Several streaks of sword energy fired out, directly blasting the four people to mere residue.


    These four people were all Xun Qingling��s accomplices. In these 1000 years, there were no few instances of bullying Lu-er and even quite a few times of harming Lu-er to death. How could Ye Yuan spare them?


    After killing four people, Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath, forcefully calmed down, and said, ��Invite Senior Bai Tong they all over.��


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to the northern land, everyone was very worried.


    After all, arriving at that sort of place, no one knew Grandmaster Ye.


    If anything mishap happened, that would not be good.


    Bai Tong frowned and said, ��Why not �� I go together with you.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��At present, Heavenly Eagle has just stabilized. Forces everywhere are casting covetous eyes, so there must be an Empyrean-level powerhouse holding down the fort. All of you stay. Just Tianping following me will do.��


    Bring Bai Tong over would naturally be much more secure.


    But the Southern Border was not calm and tranquil. Empyrean Pilljade and the rest were all casting covetous eyes. Without an Empyrean-level powerhouse holding down the fort, Ye Yuan could not set his mind at rest.


    Through several years of seesawing and negotiations, the Myriad Treasure Tower and Heavenly Eagle joined the Southern Border Alliance once more.


    With this battle, the Myriad Treasure Tower was naturally the greatest beneficiary, but Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s limelight was the brightest.


    As the saying went, the winds howl around the highest peaks, it was impossible for Empyrean Pilljade they all to willingly be suppressed just like this. Perhaps some troubles would occur.


    Bai Tong was not just an Empyrean powerhouse, but a Seven-star Alchemy God too. With him garrisoning Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan could naturally be much more reassured.


    ��Yun Yi, when Master isn��t around, this land of Southridge will be presided over by you. If you encounter anything that can��t be resolved, consult Senior Bai, understood?�� Ye Yuan instructed.


    Yun Yi nodded and said, ��Yes, Master!��


    After arranging everything for Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan brought along Ning Tianping. The two embarked on the journey to the Northernmost Steppe.

 Chapter 2068 - Just Telling the Truth

    The Northernmost Steppe was said to be a grassland, but actually, it was merely a wasteland.


    The area here was vast, with fierce beasts everywhere.


    The humans living here had to band up together to keep warm, gathering together.


    It was also precisely because of this that the people here were stubborn and unruly, killing people at the drop of a hat.


    Only the strong could survive here.


    This place was a magical place where martial artists formed factions and gangs, for the sake of benefits and murdering each other.


    But each beast tide, they were able to put aside all grievances and resist the fierce beasts.


    Jiu Luo Ji was such a place.


    The northern land was extremely cold. The air here seemed to be able to freeze people into ice sculptures.


    Even if one��s cultivation reached True God Realm, you could feel the bone-piercing chill too.


    This place was the world of ice law. Hence, the moment people were born, they would grasp a law, that was ice law.


    Hence, the martial artists here were powerful and often grasped more than two laws.


    At this time, inside a small tavern in Jiu Luo Ji, martial artists were gathered in twos and threes, drinking and chatting.


    This was the way of life of martial artists in their leisure time; warming their bellies with strong alcohol and chatting about the affairs of this Northernmost Steppe.


    Hence, the tavern��s business was very good.


    A man and a woman, two young people wearing fur skirts entered the small tavern and did not find a space after looking around for a long time, their expression somewhat disappointed.


    The girl pointed at a corner and said, ��Big Brother, look! The table over there only has two people sitting. Why won��t we go over and share tables?��


    In a corner, two young men were currently drinking alcohol. One of them was all wrapped up and still freezing until he was trembling. The other was dressed in thin attire, but he seemed to be completely fine.


    The man nodded his head and said, ��Come, go over and take a look.��


    The two people came beside the table. The man clasped his hands and said, ��This little brother, I��m Southwater Street��s Wu Song, and this is my younger sister, Wu Ling. You look, this Raging Fire Tavern��s business is too good. Can we share tables?��


    The young man dressed lightly sipped a mouthful of wine and said coolly, ��Sit.��


    The brother and sister two people were overjoyed and directly sat down opposite and shouted, ��Waiter, bring four jugs of Raging Fire Brew!��


    ��Alright!��


    Far away, the waiter shouted at the top of his voice.


    Very soon, four jugs of Raging Fire Brew were served. Wu Song opened the seals and directly swigged a mouthful, saying with a smile, ��Refreshing! Haha �� this little brother, come, cheers!��


    The young man opposite raised his glass in a slight gesture and sipped another mouthful of alcohol.


    When Wu Ling saw the appearance of rejecting people a thousand miles away opposite, she curled her mouth and said, ��Putting on an appearance!��


    Wu Song laughed and said, ��Little Brother, don��t blame her. This younger sister of mine doesn��t think before talking. Wonder how do I address you two brothers?��


    ��Ji Qingyun!��


    ��Ning Tianping!��


    The two people answered one after another.


    These two people were precisely the Ye Yuan master and servant who crossed over the Heavenspan Mountain and borders to come.


    Currently, more than 50 years had already passed since Senior Apprentice Sister Xun and the rest went to Heavenly Eagle.


    The master and servant two people went through many twists and turns, and were travel-weary, finally hurrying to the Northernmost Steppe half a year ago.


    But they did not take action immediately. With the two of their strength, even if they barged into the Ice Cloud Tower, it was also impossible to rescue Lu-er.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan ascertained that Lu-er was fine for the time being. Hence, he started planning how to save Lu-er.


    Arriving here, it was naturally not suitable for Ye Yuan to use his original name, so he simply used his previous life��s name.


    ��Haha, turns out that it��s Brother Ji and Brother Ning! I��ll gift these two jugs of wine to you two. Just take it as thanking the two of you for offering your seats,�� Wu Song pushed two jugs of wine forward and said.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Then this Ji won��t be courteous.��


    Wu Song sized Ye Yuan up and could not resist the questions in his heart and said, ��Isn��t Brother Ji cold wearing so lightly?��


    Speaking of which, this master and servant two people were weird too. One wore very little but was aloof and indifferent, while the other wore very thickly but was trembling heavily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not cold.��


    By the side, Ning Tianping could not resist rolling his eyes, his gaze full of envy.


    He also did not expect that this trip out was actually such a tough errand.


    With his presently Third Firmament True God cultivation, he was actually trembling from the cold like a mortal.


    But his lord was not at all unadapted to this kind of environment.


    This guy had a late-stage perfect sixth transformation golden body and did not know what cold was at all.


    Wu Ling snickered and said, ��Putting on airs! In my view, he��s definitely keeping out the cold with divine essence, but doesn��t know that this is a big taboo in the Northernmost Steppe. If you encounter any enemies and only have 70-80% divine essence left, there��s no difference from seeking death.��


    Divine essence keeping out the cold, this could indeed resist the chill.


    It was just that in the Northernmost Steppe, no one dared to do so.


    Because at this place, there were murders to seize property at the drop of a hat, or fighting with fierce beasts in the wilderness. One must maintain their peak state.


    Divine essence to ward off the cold had to deplete large amounts of divine essence under this kind of extremely cold weather.


    Once encountering the enemy, it would be too late to even cry.


    Ning Tianping was just about to flare up when he heard that, but Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, this Ji has plenty of divine essence and isn��t afraid to consume it.��


    Wu Ling could not help choking when she heard that and said with a cold snort, ��Don��t listen to an elderly person��s advice and you��ll suffer right away! Really won��t be rewarded for good intentions!��


    Wu Song was a little awkward by the side and said with a laugh, ��My younger sister is frank with a ready tongue. Come, this Wu drinks a toast to two brothers.��


    Finished drinking, Wu Song put down the wine jug, wiped his mouth, and said, ��Refreshing! In this Jiu Luo Ji, it��s still the Raging Fire Brew that has the strongest kick. Drinking a mouthful down is like a ball of fire burning. Comparing the alcohol of other taverns to it, they are still much more lacking! Brother Ji, you��re also into this alcohol, right?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly when he heard that and said, ��This alcohol is just average, still passable.��


    Wu Song��s brows furrowed when he heard that, thinking to himself that this kid was indeed something who put on airs. Would you die if you did not trigger people?


    The Raging Fire Brew was a strong drink that was renown far and wide and deeply loved by the martial artists in the steppe.


    But reaching Ye Yuan��s mouth, it became average, passable.


    Even if Wu Song was broad-minded, he nearly spewed a mouthful of alcohol over too.


    Who knew that this tavern��s boss had sharp ears and actually heard Ye Yuan��s words. He immediately laughed coldly and said, ��Lad, don��t be so arrogant when speaking! In this Jiu Luo Ji, who doesn��t know that our Raging Fire Tavern��s Raging Fire Brew is akin to a fire on the grasslands, and mandatory for the grassland��s martial artists. Even compared to the medicinal pills of masters, it doesn��t pale in the slightest too.��


    All around, people who loved to drink all had unhappy expressions too.


    ��Kid, your hair isn��t even fully grown yet and you dare to posture here?��


    ��Then kid, you��re wearing so little, is it using divine essence to ward off the chill? If you have the capability, don��t drink this alcohol.��


    ��Raging Fire Brew is Your Father��s favorite! Are you f*cking trying to court death!��


    ��


    Ye Yuan��s one sentence immediately ignited the tavern.


    Wu Long snickered by the side and said, ��See, I knew it! Putting on an appearance, you incurred public wrath now, right?��


    Rather, it was Wu Song who was kind hearted, hurriedly standing up to clasp his hands at everyone, saying, ��Haha, brothers don��t mind it, this brother of mine misspoke after drinking, misspoke after drinking!��


    The tavern��s boss had a cold smile on his face as he said, ��Misspoke after drinking? Heh heh, if you feel that my alcohol isn��t good, don��t drink if you have the capability! Go, go, go! This place doesn��t welcome you!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��I was just telling the truth, don��t drink �� then don��t drink then. Either way, it��s also dull and tasteless.��

 Chapter 2069 - Sunshine Glow

    ��Dull and tasteless? F*cking hell!��


    When the tavern boss heard Ye Yuan��s words, he was angered until he stomped his feet.


    When the others saw this scene, other than finding it funny, they could not help pitying Ye Yuan.


    This tavern��s boss was called Zhang Tu. In his early years, he killed people and committed arsons. His evil deeds knew no limits. His strength also reached middle-stage True God Realm and was not a good person.


    All the way until acquiring this Raging Fire Brew��s formula later did he open the Raging Fire Tavern here.


    The tavern��s boss directly dashed in front of Ye Yuan in rapid steps and said with a cold smile, ��Kid, I, Zhang Tu, have sold the Raging Fire Brew in this Jiu Luo Ji for ten thousand years and have never heard anyone say that it��s dull and tasteless before! If you don��t give an explanation today, don��t think about walking out of this door!��


    Everyone used pitying gazes to look at Ye Yuan. Jiu Luo Ji��s veteran folks all knew that this Zhang Tu was not to be trifled with.


    Otherwise, with his Raging Fire Brew being highly in demand, could it be that no one dared to have designs on him?


    It was that no one dared, that��s all!


    Wu Ling rolled her eyes and said, ��How? Made people angry, right? Why don��t you have a lid over your mouth? See how you clean up the mess!��


    Wu Song shot a fierce glare at her. Turning around with a fawning smile, he said to Zhang Tu, ��Boss Tu, this little brother of mine just has arrived and doesn��t know the rules. Don��t stoop to his level.��


    But Zhang Tu smiled coldly and said, ��Who the hell are you? What��s your basis for not making Your Father stoop to his level? I��m going to stoop to his level today! If these words were to spread out, how will Your Father��s shop still run?��


    Finished talking, he looked toward Ye Yuan again and said with a cold smile, ��Brat, don��t blame Your Father for not giving you a chance. As long as you bring out a better alcohol than Raging Fire Brew today, this matter will be dropped and Your Father will even apologize to you. If you can��t take it out �� heh heh ����


    Zhang Tu had an appearance of itching for a fight. Clearly, he harbored ill-intent.


    Wu Song shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare by the side and whispered, ��Apologize! Brother Ji, quickly apologize to Boss Tu!��


    Ye Yuan sat there calmly and completely ignored Zhang Tu, but he looked at Wu Song with a smile as he said, ��Sit down, Brother Wu. Just based on you defending this Ji like so, this Ji will treat you to a cup of wine today.��


    While talking, a small flask appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    Ye Yuan pulled open the lid of the flask. A thick aroma of alcohol instantly filled the entire small tavern.


    ��So fragrant! Fine wine!��


    ��My God, this wine is more than ten times more fragrant than the Raging Fire Brew!��


    ��What alcohol is this? This old man has never smelled before such an alcohol aroma in this life before!��


    ��


    Upon lifting the flask lid, cries of exclamations within the small tavern linked up together. Quite a number of people were already hazy-eyed from drunkenness just by smelling this alcohol aroma.


    Zhang Tu��s expression instantly became extremely ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan really took out the wine.


    Just based on this alcohol aroma, the wine in Ye Yuan��s hand far surpassed the Raging Fire Brew!


    ��Uh �� smells so good! Big Brother, I want to drink!��


    By the side, Wu Ling was already drunk, letting out a light moan that was unable to hide her hankering.


    It was only to see that saliva already drooled out at the corner of her mouth.


    This fragrance was truly tempting!


    Smack!


    Wu Ling just reached her hand out and was smacked flying by Ye Yuan with a slap.


    ��Ouch! Why did you hit me!��


    This slap also woke Wu Ling up from the pain.


    But at this time, she looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise, as if she had seen a ghost.


    This guy really had fine alcohol on him!


    ��This alcohol is only for Brother Wu to drink, none of your share!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Tch, stingy! Don��t drink then, who wants it!��


    Although she said so, Wu Ling��s pair of eyes lingered on the small flask, saliva drooling out again from the corner of her mouth.


    In this Northernmost Steppe, women similarly loved drinking.


    It was not just Wu Ling. Everyone in the small tavern smacked their lips, staring fixedly at the small flask in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Ye Yuan poured a small glass for Wu Song.


    The moment the wine came out of the flask, the fragrance became stronger!


    Wu Song looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise. He was smashed dizzy by this biscuit that fell from the sky.


    Only he could drink this wine!


    ��Brother Wu, sample how��s this Ye��s wine,�� Ye Yuan made an inviting gesture and said with a light smile.


    Wu Song desperately swallowed his saliva, the gluttonous bug in his abdomen was already endlessly agitated.


    ��Then �� This Wu won��t be courteous!��


    Wu song raised the glass, placed it at the tip of his nose and took a whiff, and almost threw the glass away.


    Too fragrant!


    He drank so many years of wine and had never smelled before such a fragrant to the extreme wine.


    The others looked at Wu Song, saliva dripping all over the floor, all incredibly envious.


    Rather, it was Wu Song who actually could not quite bear to drink it after the wine reached his mouth.


    By the side, Ning Tianping said with an envious look, ��Tsk tsk, this Sunshine Glow, His Excellency couldn��t even bear to let me drink one mouth. Boy, you have the good fortune of the mouth!��


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, ��You rascal, don��t think that I don��t know how much you secretly drank, to actually still dare to vent your grievances here? Really think that I don��t dare to beat you?��


    Ning Tianping had an embarrassed look as he said, ��Wasn��t it because I was scared of the cold? Heh heh, Your Excellency��s wine really tastes better the more you drink! Even several times stronger than the Dreamlike Wine!��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and could not be bothered to care.


    Arriving at this land of bitter coldness, in this half a year��s time, apart from inquiring information, Ye Yuan was brewing this Sunshine Glow.


    Although Ye Yuan did not fear the cold wind, it was uncomfortable in this land of bitter cold after all.


    Drink a mouthful of warm wine and everything would naturally be resolved.


    ��Brother Wu, not that this Ye is stingy, you can only drink a cup of this wine, any more and you��ll definitely collapse,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Wu Song smiled when he heard that and said, ��Brother Ji is looking down on this Wu too much, this Wu known as a thousand cups without getting drunk. Even this Raging Fire Brew, I��ll be totally fine after drinking five jars too.��


    Finished talking, he tilted his head back and downed it in one go.


    Drinking finish, Wu Song had a peculiar look on his face.


    When Zhang Tu saw the situation, he immediately laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� What did I say? What bullshit Sunshine Glow?! How can it compare to my ����


    ��Fine wine!��


    Zhang Tu��s words were said halfway when it was directly cut off by these two resounding to the extreme words of Wu Song.


    ��Fine wine! Fine wine! Fine wine! Really f*cking delicious!��


    Wu Song said three fine wines in a row and followed up with a vulgarity.


    Zhang Tu��s face immediately fell, would you die if you freaking let me say finish?


    But the others could not wait and looked at Wu Song blankly as they asked curiously, ��Brother, how is it good?��


    ��Yeah, quickly say!��


    ��Tsk tsk, really want to drink a mouthful!��


    ��


    The current Wu Song, his eyes actually already started becoming hazy, shaking his head hard, wanting to wake himself up a bit.


    When everyone saw the situation, they could not help being secretly tongue-tied.


    This wine �� was so strong?


    ��I �� I can��t describe it. Either way, it��s just delicious!�� Wu song said in a rough voice.


    Zhang Tu had a look of refusing to submit as he said with a cold smile, ��What��s the use of being delicious? My Raging Fire Brew has the effect of warding off the cold. Drink a vat and you don��t need to use divine essence for three days! No matter how fragrant your wine is, it also can��t compare to my Raging Fire Brew!��


    When he said this, he had a proud look.


    This Raging Fire Brew��s greatest function was not deliciousness, but it was keeping out the cold!


    In this land of extremely cold, it was the most practical.


    As for deliciousness, that was still secondary.


    It was just that his voice had yet to fade when Wu Song directly pulled open his leather mantle and took off all of his clothes, shouting at the top of his voice, ��Hot! So hot!��

 Chapter 2070 - Just Waiting for Someone Here

    Everyone used pitying looks to look at Zhang Tu. His final trace of pride was trampled to pieces by Wu Song��s unwitting stripping.


    Everyone could tell that Wu Song was not pretending.


    Currently, Wu Song��s skin was slightly red. His body actually emitted steaming vapor.


    ��Hahaha, refreshing! Truly refreshing! Brother Ji, this wine of yours is simple godlike!�� Wu Song said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Drinking this cup, you don��t need to expend divine essence to keep out the cold within half a month.��


    Wu Song nodded slightly and said, ��I can feel that this wine entering the abdomen is just like there��s a pool of hot spring, reaching throughout the entire body from the abdomen. At the rate of the current speed, there��s absolutely no problem not using divine essence for ten days to half a month! Sunshine Glow, haha, the wine is indeed as its name suggests. Right now, I feel like there��s a warm sun glowing inside my body, being incomparably warm!��


    By the side, Wu Ling was long already drooling with envy.


    She used a guileless gaze to look at Ye Yuan and said in a spoiled manner, ��Big Brother Ji, let me drink a cup too.��


    ��You?�� Ye Yuan gave her a meaningful glance with a strange expression.


    Wu Ling suddenly understood something, her face could not help changing, her pretty face flushing red.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Loud hoots of laughter echoed within the house.


    ��Girl, no worries. Just strip, we��ll take it as we can��t see!��


    ��Scared of what, our extreme north��s girls are men!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    ��


    Everyone burst out laughing. Wu Ling wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    At this time, a middle-aged man walked over and said to Ye Yuan with a smile as he said, ��This little brother, I want to ask for a cup of wine to drink. Is that okay?��


    The moment this man came out, everyone��s hearts turned cold.


    ��It��s Lightning Blade Wang Hang! If this kid dares to not give the alcohol to drink, he��ll likely can��t go out of this door today!�� Someone discussed softly.


    ��Heh, Wang Hang is a tough character who��ll pull out his blade at a word of disagreement. More importantly, there are few people who can last beyond three blades under his hands!��


    When Zhang Tu saw this scene, his face switched to a relaxed expression again.


    This kid was likely here to cause a scene today. There was finally someone who came to take care of him.


    Ye Yuan did not even look at Wang Hang. Picking up the small flask, he poured himself a full cup, then held it up.


    ��Tch, pretending for what, didn��t he still yield?�� Wu Ling whispered.


    Wang Hang also had a smile on his face, his saliva almost dripping down, reaching his hand over.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan directly tilted his head back and drank it himself.


    Wang Hang��s expression turned stiff, his hand extended there, unable to take it back or leave it there.


    ��Kid, you tricked me?�� Wang Hang glared and said in a solemn voice.


    ��I already said, only Brother Wu can drink, did you take it that I was joking? Giving you to drink, where will my face go?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    These people were all watching the show just now. Now, they wanted to ask for alcohol to drink. He, Ye Yuan, was not so lowly.


    Seeing Wang Hang��s expression turn grim until water could drip out, everyone felt their scalps tingle.


    This boy was too capable of causing trouble.


    Provoking Zhang Tu was still not enough, and then he provoked Wang Hang.


    Did this guy really want to go out horizontally today?


    ��This boy is mad, right? He actually dared to provoke Lightning Blade Wang Hang!��


    ��Wang Hang is peak Fourth Firmament True God. It��s said that he once contended with a Fifth Firmament True God with his lightning blade and didn��t get defeated. This kid is tired of living!��


    ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s death-courting action, everyone turned pale with fright.


    When Wu Song heard Ye Yuan��s words, the originally 30% drunkenness was immediately frightened awake.


    ��Brother Ye, forget it! Just a cup of wine. This �� This is Lightning Blade Wang Hang!��


    Wang Hang was very famous in this region, Wu Song naturally knew his name.


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping two people both concealed their cultivations. In other people��s view, these two people were merely young men who were over a thousand years old. So how much strength could they have?


    Therefore, the people in this house did not take the two of them seriously.


    ��Heh heh, too late! To dare refute my, Wang Hang��s, face, there��s only death! Killing this brat, Your Father can naturally drink his wine!��


    While talking, Wang Hang suddenly pulled out his blade, the power of ice and the power of lightning revolving around him.


    This Wang Hang actually fused ice law and lightning law!


    The commotion of this blade was outrageous to the extreme.


    ��It��s over, dead for sure!��


    ��This boy is really stubborn!��


    ��Isn��t that so? Just a cup of wine.��


    ��


    Just as everyone had sympathetic faces, the blade already arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Following that, it was dead silent inside the tavern.


    Ye Yuan actually used his palm and directly caught Wang Hang��s knife edge.


    Just this light grab and the fused power of law immediately vanished without a trace.


    Zhang Tu��s pair of eyes became wide circles, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    The strength of this Wang Hang��s lightning blade absolutely did not lose to his. The edge of the blade was actually caught by this kid with a grab?


    Wang Hang was similarly incomparably alarmed and terrified. He stared at Ye Yuan with a dumbstruck face, desperately wanting to pull his blade out.


    But unfortunately, no matter to what degree he pushed his divine essence, his lightning blade seemed to be welded to Ye Yuan��s hand, unable to budge an inch.


    ��L-Let go! Still not letting go, Your Father won��t be courteous anymore!�� Wang Hang said threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he gave an ��oh�� lightly, his palm opening up.


    Wang Hang was currently using strength to pull the blade. With Ye Yuan��s releasing it, his entire person directly did a dog-eat-shit tumble.


    ��It��s you who made me let go. So why didn��t you prepare well yourself?�� Ye Yuan said with an innocent look.


    When had Wang Hang suffered such unprecedented humiliation before? He immediately said in a great rage, ��Punk, you��re courting death! Ice Lightning Blade! Go to hell for me!��


    This time, Wang Hang��s body erupted with an even fiercer aura.


    The fused power of laws was even pushed to the peak by him.


    Everyone��s faces revealed great shock.


    Someone exclaimed in admiration, ��This is Wang Hang��s true strength! This aura probably doesn��t lose to Fifth Firmament True Gods, right?��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said coolly, ��I already spared your life just now, but you insist on coming to seek death. Forget it, I��ll send you off then.��


    Following that, amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan lightly met Wang Hang��s blade with a finger.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The terrifying fused power of law immediately evaporated into thin air.


    Wang Hang��s entire person directly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand, directly annihilating the blood mist.


    It was deathly silent inside the house, everyone used eyes like they had seen ghosts to look at Ye Yuan.


    This was Lightning Blade Wang Hang!


    H-He died just like this?


    This guy caught a true god mystic treasure with his bare hands. So how powerful was his fleshy body!


    It turned out that this boy was really not boasting about not being afraid of the cold.


    Why would a fleshy body rivaling a true god mystic treasure be scared of the cold?


    Zhang Tu��s face seemed to have opened up a dye-house, changing colours non-stop.


    He secretly sighed at getting lucky. Fortunately, the one who attacked just now was Wang Hang and not him.


    Otherwise, the current him should be about the same as Wang Hang, right?


    How could �� this boy be so strong?


    ��I��m just waiting for someone here. So you all don��t annoy me. You guys can drink this wine in the future, but I��m just afraid that you all can��t afford it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He filled a cup of wine for himself and poured another cup for Ning Tianping, and downed it in one go.


    Everyone was speechless. Didn��t you say earlier that �� could only drink one cup?

 Chapter 2071 - Issuing Challenge Letter

    ��Waiting for someone? Humph! I think that you��re here to cause a disturbance! This place doesn��t welcome you! Please leave!��


    Zhang Tu hated and feared Ye Yuan at this time and only wanted to make him leave this place sooner.


    But he did not dare to provoke Ye Yuan too much either. This malefic star��s strength was too strong.


    So contradictions were laid bare in his words.


    Ye Yuan poured another cup of wine and drank it, and he said coolly, ��You rest assured. After I settle my business, I won��t come even if you invite me too.��


    Ye Yuan drank his wine, the aroma of the wine overflowed, teasing everyone until they drooled heavily.


    Smelling this alcohol aroma, drinking the Raging Fire Brew again completely did not have any taste anymore.


    This guy definitely did it on purpose.


    Within the small tavern, grievance points rose sharply.


    How could Zhang Tu not tell what the others were thinking? He wished to kick Ye Yuan out with a foot, but Ye Yuan just refused to leave.


    Before long, a gray-robed old man walked into the Raging Fire Tavern.


    The moment the old man came in, he shouted, ��Zhang Tu, give this old man three jars of Raging Fire Brew and a few side dishes!��


    The moment Zhang Tu saw the arrival of this person, he could not help being overjoyed, hurriedly moving closer and saying respectfully, ��Goodness! Master Song Cao, you haven��t come for a few days!��


    Not just Zhang Tu, when the rest saw Song Cao, they all stood up one after another, paying their respects to the old man.


    Clearly, Song Cao��s status in Jiu Luo Ji was very high. Virtually no one did not know.


    Song Cao laughed and said, ��I��ve been busy refining pills these few days. The gluttonous bug in my stomach flared up the moment the medicinal pills are refined completely, so I immediately came over. Eh, smells so good! Old Tu, your place produced a new product? Why is it so fragrant?��


    Song Cao said a few sentences when suddenly, the tip of his nose twitched slightly. A whiff of alcohol aroma tunneled into his nose, gladdening the heart and refreshing the mind.


    But the moment he said it, Zhang Tu��s expression immediately became ugly, faltering, not knowing how to answer.


    Some meddlesome person pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��Master Song Cao, the wine was brought by that kid himself.��


    Song Cao looked toward Ye Yuan with a slight surprise. Raising his foot, he walked over and said smilingly, ��Kid, this wine is pretty good. Let this old man have a taste.��


    His words carried a trace of tone that did not allow any dispute.


    That meaning was that you had to give whether or not you were willing to!


    When Zhang Tu saw the situation, he could not help being delighted in his heart.


    Weren��t you showing off, punk?


    Now that Master Song Cao came to ask for wine, see if you still dare to not give!


    Ye Yuan did not lift his head. Drinking a cup of Sunshine Glow on his own again, he opened his mouth and said indifferently, ��You��re Song Cao?��


    Song Cao��s brows furrowed, somewhat happy with Ye Yuan��s attitude in his heart as he said in a solemn voice, ��That��s right. This old man is precisely Song Cao. Kid, this wine ����


    His words were said halfway when Ye Yuan suddenly took out a challenge letter and placed it on the table in front of him.


    ��Challenge letter?��


    Song Cao was taken aback and could not help laughing as he said, ��Brat, you want to challenge this old man? Do you know who this old man is?��


    The others were taken aback with fill, this boy was crazy, right?


    ��Where did this brat pop out from? Could it be that he lost his mind? Master Song Cao is our Jiu Luo Ji��s top three ranking Six-star Alchemy God. He, this snotty brat, actually wants to challenge Master Song Cao?��


    ��Master Song Cao��s status is venerated, how can he be what a mere nobody can challenge?��


    ��This boy went crazy wanting to become famous, right? To actually use this kind of method to draw attention.��


    ��Ah! I understand, turns out that the person he��s waiting for is Master Song Cao!��


    �� ��


    At this time, someone finally reacted and cried out in surprise.


    If say one-shotting Lightning Blade Wang Hang in one move earlier, everyone could still accept it.


    Now, wanting to challenge Song Cao, they were unable to accept it.


    After all, this place was the Northernmost Steppe, easily lifting the blade and killing people was normal.


    But in the Northernmost Steppe, the status of alchemists was venerated.


    The Northernmost Steppe��s environment was harsh, spiritual energy thin, it was not suited for the growth of an alchemist.


    Hence, as long as an alchemist emerged here, their status would be very high.


    Because the martial artists here actually had even higher requirements towards medicinal pills.


    They must experience endless slaughter in order to survive. They naturally needed more medicinal pills too.


    And Song Cao was one of the strongest three great Six-star Alchemy Gods in Jiu Luo Ji.


    He was practically standing at the summit of Jiu Luo Ji already. Now, a brat that popped out of god knows where actually wanted to challenge Song Cao the moment he opened his mouth, overestimating his ability too much.


    Hearing everyone��s cries of exclamations, Song Cao had a smug look as he said, ��Hear that, kid? This old man��s strength is sufficient to rank in the top three in Jiu Luo Ji. Even the top two are also not much stronger than this old man. You, a brat who just made his mark in the world, want to challenge this old man? Huhu!��


    ��The challenge letter isn��t for you. It��s for your master, Empyrean Loneswan. You don��t have the qualifications to make me challenge you,�� Ye Yuan sipped a mouthful of wine and said coolly.


    Words hell-bent on shocking people to death!


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Even Song Cao was also abruptly stupefied there.


    His master, Empyrean Loneswan, was Jiu Luo Ji��s strongest alchemist, not one of the strongest.


    Because he was the one and only Seven-star Alchemy God!


    Even the Jiu Luo Ji��s other few Empyreans also addressed him as a brother when they saw Empyrean Loneswan.


    ��H-Huhu, kid, are you crazy? Challenging Master Loneswan? Who gave you the guts?�� Song Cao felt like he heard the most hilarious joke today.


    In his eyes, Master Loneswan was a god; a god that brooked no blaspheming!


    Now, there was actually a brat who wanted to challenge this god. This was something that could not be tolerated.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I knew that it wouldn��t go so smoothly. How about this? I��ll fire out a flame, and if you can extinguish it, consider it my loss. I won��t say a single word about this matter of challenging him and will even gift you a jar of Sunshine Glow.��


    ��Hahaha ���� The surroundings hooted with loud laughter.


    They were laughing at Ye Yuan��s ignorance, laughing at Ye Yuan for overrating his own abilities.


    A hint of amusement was revealed in Song Cao��s eyes and he said with a smile, ��Kid, our land of extreme north��s alchemists might not be able to beat other places in refining pills. But the art of controlling fire, that��s what other places absolutely can��t compete with. You��re playing fire with this old man?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You just say yes or no.��


    Song Cao snorted coldly and said, ��Fine, this old man agrees to you! If this old man loses, I��ll help you deliver this challenge letter immediately! But if you lose, this wine ����


    What he cared about most was not winning or losing, but the Sunshine Glow.


    This wine was too fragrant.


    Ye Yuan casually beckoned a hand, a jar appeared on the table.


    When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    It turned out that this kid still had so much Sunshine Glow on him!


    Could it be that �� this wine was really brewed by this boy?


    Smack!


    Ye Yuan snapped a finger very casually, a small cluster of fire flew towards Song Cao falteringly.


    Song Cao laughed in spite of himself when he saw the situation and said, ��This is your fire controlling technique? Kid, you��re really making a spectacle of yourself! But your wine is really pretty good!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Song Cao beckoned with his palm. A cluster of light-green flames turned into a fierce tiger, and it rushed straight at the tongue of flame that Ye Yuan summoned.


    The others also revealed disappointed expressions. They even thought that Ye Yuan would show a breathtaking performance. In the end, it was just this bit of strength.


    Indeed talking big to impress people!


    Pfft ��


    Only to hear a slight puffing sound emit in the air. The moment that fierce tiger met the tongue of flame, it immediately disappeared without a trace.


    The whole place was silent!

 Chapter 2072 - Treat You to a Cup of Wine

    ��How can it be? Master Song Cao actually lost in a fire battle?��


    ��That small tottering flame, which can be smashed with one smack, Master Song Cao actually failed to beat it?��


    ��Could it be that this boy is really a fire control master that conceals deeply?��


    �� ��


    Cries of exclamations sounded out all around, clearly not expecting that such a sudden turn of events would occur.


    Jiu Luo Ji��s top alchemy master actually lost to an unknown little fellow.


    ��Just this bit of capability? You disappoint me too much,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Song Cao got a shock. A solemn expression was revealed on his face, and he said in a deep voice, ��Terrific lad, I underestimated you! Watch this!��


    Done talking, Song Cao formed seals with both hands. The divine fire turned into a giant hammer and suddenly smashed over towards that small cluster of fire.


    Bang!


    The giant hammer directly crumbled.


    Song Cao��s expression changed drastically. This time, he was genuinely shocked.


    If that time previously was just him doing it casually, then this time he already unleashed 70% of his strength.


    It actually could not even withstand a single blow in front of this small falteringly cluster of fire?


    Wu Ling��s small mouth opened to form a circle, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    ��Big Brother, did Master Song Cao underestimate the enemy too much? This �� This is also too unreal, right?��


    Wu Song��s expression was solemn as he shook his head and said, ��I��m afraid that it��s not as simple as underestimating the enemy! I also felt that that small flame just now was too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. But looking at it now, the flame was compact to the extreme! So in the view of outsiders, they can��t feel the temperature and aura at all. This fire-controlling technique has reached the acme of perfection!��


    Wu Ling could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan. Could it be that this hateful guy was actually a fire-controlling expert?


    ��Not bad this time, the flame is much more condensed. However �� it��s still far too lacking. If you��re still not convinced, you can try again,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    In his view, that handling just now was still okay.


    Compared to the flashiness without substance before, it was clearly much more condensed.


    The alchemists of this Northernmost Steppe would frequently protect the body and expel the cold with flames and were indeed much stronger than alchemists of other places in terms of fire controlling technique.


    It was just that this bit of strength was still inadequate in front of Ye Yuan.


    One had to know, his alchemy strength was the Southern Border��s number one person.


    And what was a foundational skill of alchemy?


    It was naturally fire control!


    In terms of fire control, the world was so big, but there were really scanty few that could win Ye Yuan.


    ��Kid, don��t you get cocky! Watch this Song get rid of it for you to see!��


    Song Cao gritted his teeth and made his move once more.


    It was just that no matter how he cast the fire control technique, that small cluster of faltering fire was just like a small diamond, standing steadfast.


    Unleashing seven to eight moves in a row, Song Cao still could not do anything to the flame. His face was grim until it was almost dripping water.


    Ye Yuan also got somewhat impatient and said coolly, ��You��re too weak. Better invite your master to come out. In order to reward you, I��ll treat you to a cup of wine.��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan poured a cup of wine and pushed it in front of Song Cao. Fragrance immediately suffused everywhere.


    Song Cao��s expression flickered indeterminately, but he discovered to his dismay that he already unleashed all of his ability and really could not do anything to this small cluster of flames.


    He even had a feeling that even if his master, Empyrean Loneswan, was here, he might not be able to do anything to it too!


    But very soon, he chased this kind of ridiculous notion out of his head.


    How was this possible?


    His master was a Seven-star Alchemy God! He was invincible in this Jiu Luo Ji!


    How could a mere brat who was still wet behind his ears possibly make his master helpless to do anything?


    Song Cao��s attention was drawn over by the thick wine aroma very soon.


    This wine was too fragrant!


    Fragrant until it made people unable to refuse!


    Song Cao could not resist swallowing his saliva and finally still downed it in one shot amidst everyone��s questioning gazes.


    ��Good wine! Truly fine wine! This old man has never drunk before such a delicious wine!��


    The moment the wine entered the mouth, Song Cao could not resist giving praises from the bottom of his heart.


    He felt a stream of top-quality wine flow into his stomach, which then instantly set his whole body on fire, making each of his pores open up.


    It was as if a blazing sun rose in his heart, warming his entire body.


    In comparison, the Raging Fire Brew that he had always cherished was simply like garbage.


    When everyone saw Song Cao��s pleased appearance, they no longer doubted the Sunshine Glow.


    Previously, everyone was still half-dubious, suspecting if Wu Song was pretending or not.


    Now, with Master Song Cao personally confirming it, who else would still doubt?


    It was just that this way, the group of martial artists hankered after the Sunshine Glow even more.


    The feeling of being able to see but not being able to drink was truly uncomfortable!


    ��Kid, I��ll help you bring the challenge letter! But this wine ���� Song Cao stared fixedly at the small flask in Ye Yuan��s hand, his goal self-explanatory.


    He said nonchalantly, ��I said one cup, it means one cup. Don��t give me that look. You go back and tell your master that as long as he, Empyrean Loneswan, accepts the challenge, if this Ji loses, this Sunshine Glow��s recipe will be offered up with both hands. Don��t use this kind of eyes to look at me. With your paltry cultivation base, you can��t snatch it away.��


    Song Cao��s eyeballs swiveled around, clearly already having the thought of snatching it.


    In a place like Jiu Luo Ji, there was no justice and law at all.


    Things that caught your fancy, just snatch it.


    As long as your fist was big, whatever you say works.


    By the side, someone saw that the atmosphere was not right and warned out of goodwill, ��Master Song Cao, just now, Lightning Blade Wang Hang was planning to take action to snatch, and was defeated by him with one punch!��


    Song Cao��s face changed and he cried out in surprise, ��Lightning Blade Wang Hang? He fused two kinds of power of laws, his strength being already comparable to Fifth Firmament True God. He was actually blown up with one punch?��


    That person said again, ��Master, so many people were watching it. Could I still be deceiving you?��


    Song Cao��s gaze turned intent, only then discovering that it seemed like Ye Yuan really could not be underestimated anymore.


    It was only to see his gaze turned dark and he said, ��Okay! This old man will help you deliver the challenge letter, but I hope that your alchemy skill isn��t just a little bit of fire controlling technique! Farewell!��


    Finished talking, Song Cao put away the challenge letter and directly left.


    �� ��


    News spread extremely fast!


    Jiu Luo Ji had existed for God knows how many tens of thousands of years already. It had never been heard of that someone dared to challenge Empyrean Loneswan.


    A Seven-star Alchemy God was a divine master in the Northernmost Steppe. Their status was extremely venerated.


    Now, a hothead that popped out from God knows where actually wanted to challenge Empyrean Loneswan!


    For some time, Jiu Luo Ji that had already been quiet for a long time started boiling with excitement.


    ��No way, right? Where did this kid pop out from? Never heard before that a remarkable young alchemist emerged in Jiu Luo Ji!��


    ��Might have come over from the Northern Border? The brat who doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth actually dares to challenge a Seven-star Alchemy God. Heh heh, there��s a good show to watch now.��


    ��I heard that that kid completely defeated Empyrean Loneswan��s accomplished disciple, Master Song Cao, in a fire battle. Wonder if it��s real or fake.��


    ��Heh, it��s probably that kid deliberately fabricating it in order to grow his reputation, right? Master Song Cao��s fire controlling technique, saying that it��s number one in Jiu Luo Ji is not even overboard. Just based on that kid?��


    ��But I heard that this boy has a kind of wine in his possession that��s extremely delicious! Empyrean Loneswan only accepted the challenge for the sake of this recipe.��


    �� ��


    The news spread out, questioning voices were everywhere in Jiu Luo Ji.


    All because of this unknown boy who was going to challenge the god of Alchemy Dao in their hearts!


    No one thought that Ye Yuan had hope. This was completely a suicide-style challenge.

 Chapter 2073 - Looks Like You Don’t Have Much Confidence!

    In Skyreturn Plaza, people were everywhere.


    A Seven-star Alchemy God taking action, this was a grand event of Jiu Luo Ji.


    Ye Yuan issuing a challenge letter to challenge Empyrean Loneswan spread throughout the entire Jiu Luo Ji like the wind.


    ��Eldest Senior Brother, you were also too sloppy. Having Master compete in alchemy with a snotty brat, this is disgraceful!�� Song Cao��s junior apprentice brother, Luo Yu, said with a disdainful look.


    Another junior apprentice brother said, ��Isn��t making Master compete in alchemy with this brat pretty much the same as having Master compete in alchemy with us? This kind of alchemy battle doesn��t have the slightest suspense at all.��


    Song Cao smiled coldly and said, ��What the hell do you guys know! That kid has a wine recipe in his hands. Once we obtain it, we can definitely earn boatloads of money! At that time, Northday Assemble��s Empyrean Dragonjade and Splitwind Assemble��s Empyrean Junhao will all have to bow their heads in submission toward Master!��


    The moment Luo Yu heard this, he said in puzzlement, ��Senior Apprentice Brother, is this wine really as good as you say?��


    Song Cao had a look of recollecting the aftertaste as he said, ��More than good! It simply brings back endless aftertastes! Senior Apprentice Brother, I, only drank a mouth, and during this half a month, my whole body has been warm! I don��t even need to use divine essence to ward off the cold with divine fire at all! Delicious plus keeps out the cold, who do you think can resist its allure in this Northernmost Steppe?��


    The apprentice brothers were all skeptical. Since Eldest Senior Brother came back from Raging Fire Tavern the last time, his mouth kept on praising this whatever Sunshine Glow with endless praises, as if he was bedeviled.


    Seeing him always talk about it every day, these few people also could not help drooling.


    Among the people in this Northernmost Steppe, there was none who did not like to drink.


    Hearing that it was so delicious, how could they not be moved?


    Except, those who had drunk before this Sunshine Glow at present was just Song Cao and Wu Song two people.


    Whether it really tasted good or not, they were also not sure.


    But they understood in their hearts that if it was really as Song Cao said, then as long as this wine was rolled out, it could absolutely sweep across the extreme north��s various territories.


    ��He��s here, he��s here! It��s this boy? So young!��


    At this time, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd. A ridiculously young figure slowly walked onto the stage.


    ��This �� This is also too young, right? Just like a little kid, he��s qualified to challenge Empyrean Loneswan?��


    ��Where did this kid pop out from? Simply blaspheming the idol in my heart!��


    ��Get down!��


    �� ��


    When the people saw that Ye Yuan was so young, they immediately exploded, having a feeling of being cheated.


    So young, he probably had not even figured out what were medicinal pills and came to challenge Jiu Luo Ji��s Alchemy Dao number one person. Was this a joke?


    With someone taking the lead to hoot, many people also shouted along, asking Ye Yuan to get down.


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look as if he could not hear anything.


    After a while, these guys would naturally shut up.


    When Luo Yu saw that Ye Yuan was so young, he was also stunned and said disdainfully, ��Heh, really a fool who overestimates his own ability. So young and he actually dares to challenge Master too, truly ignorant!��


    But Song Cao said in a solemn voice, ��I don��t know how��s his pill refinement, but his fire controlling technique is truly transcendent! If this wasn��t the case, why would I make Master take action? I would have suppressed him myself!��


    Luo Yu was surprised when he heard that and said, ��Eldest Senior Brother, you really lost to him in a fire battle?��


    Song Cao��s expression was slightly dark as he nodded his head.


    Luo Yu did not quite dare to believe it. He was naturally aware of Song Cao��s fire controlling technique. Even he was a million miles away compared to Song Cao��s skill.


    But such a formidable eldest senior brother actually lost to this kid. Could it be that he was really an alchemy genius?


    Right at this time, a powerful aura descended from the sky.


    ��Empyrean Loneswan is here!��


    ��All thanks to this brat that I can see Empyrean Loneswan��s true face!��


    ��Lord Loneswan, teach this punk a good lesson!��


    �� ��


    There was cheering in the crowd.


    Empyrean Loneswan was a godlike existence in their hearts.


    In this Northernmost Steppe, a Seven-star Alchemy God was the sun in the sky, illuminating the world.


    A brat like Ye Yuan rushing into challenging Empyrean Loneswan was blaspheming the idol in their hearts.


    An old man in azure robes slowly stepped out of the void. His gaze swept all around, his awe displayed in its entirety.


    ��Disciple pays respect to Master!�� Song Cao brought the group of apprentice brothers and directly knelt down.


    Empyrean Loneswan nodded slightly, his gaze finally landing on Ye Yuan. He could not help being slightly surprised.


    Ye Yuan��s youth still far exceeded his expectations.


    ��You��re the Ji Qingyun who wants to challenge this Empyrean?�� Empyrean Loneswan��s gaze was scorching as he said.


    The moment he came up, he applied tremendous pressure on Ye Yuan.


    Except, Ye Yuan was composed and collected in front of this pressure, and even had signs of being able to stand up to it as an equal.


    When Empyrean Loneswan saw the situation, he could not help being surprised in his heart.


    How could he know that even when Ye Yuan was facing Empyrean Pilljade, that level of horrifying existence, his aura was also not the slightest bit weak?


    His bit of pressure was too much of a child��s play and even had some suspicion of showing off in the presence of an expert.


    ��It��s precisely this Ji!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Empyrean Loneswan deliberately pretended to be magnanimous as he said, ��Indeed, heroes come from youngsters! To dare come and challenge this Empyrean at a young age, your courage is commendable! Rest assured, this Empyrean won��t be bullying the weak by being strong. In a while, when this Empyrean takes action, I��ll definitely pay attention to the proper limits. Uh �� you pick the medicinal pill then.��


    This battle was simply a piece of cake to him.


    It was just that his acting was the demeanor of a grandmaster in the view of those people below. He was tolerant and open-minded.


    ��Indeed well-deserving of being Empyrean Loneswan! Toward a young man��s affront, he��s actually not angry at all and even has the intention of guiding him.��


    ��Heh, you look at that kid! His proud appearance really pisses people off!��


    �� ��


    Actually, how was there any pride? Ye Yuan just had a calm expression, that was all.


    It was just that in the view of these people, when Ye Yuan saw a powerhouse like Empyrean Loneswan, he should be reverent and respectful, trembling with fear and trepidation, akin to treading on thin ice.


    Only that way would it be apt for Ye Yuan��s status.


    Ye Yuan gave Empyrean Loneswan a glance and said with a strange expression, ��Really want me to pick?��


    Empyrean Loneswan could not help laughing as he said, ��This Empyrean is a Seven-star Alchemy God. Battling in alchemy with you, a junior, could it be still let this Empyrean pick?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said indifferently, ��In that case �� Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill then.��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s gaze turned sharp, almost choking to death.


    This Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill was one of the medicinal pills with the greatest difficulty among rank six divine pills.


    Even refining it with his current strength, the success rate was also not high.


    Furthermore, even if it succeeded, the grade would not be too high either.


    He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but he did not know what he should say.


    Say that he could refine?


    What to do if he screwed it up?


    Saying that he could not refine?


    Did he have shame or not?!


    ��Junior, you��re deliberately here to mess with this Empyrean, right? This medicinal pill, you probably can��t even learn the rudiments, right?�� Empyrean Loneswan said with a dark expression.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, ��Looks like you don��t have much confidence in refining the Crimson Flame Heavenly Soul Pill. Then why not �� the Amethyst Instant Pill then.��


    Empyrean Loneswan nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Don��t dig up people��s dirt like this!


    Furthermore �� it was another level nine medicinal pill!


    He was already very sure that this kid was definitely here to mess with him.


    Could he have been �� sent by those few fellows?

 Chapter 2074 - Distinguished Guest

    ��The Amethyst Instant Pill doesn��t work too?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head with a disappointed look. He already lowered the benchmark by a lot, but this Empyrean Loneswan��s strength somewhat disappointed him.


    Looking at the other party��s appearance, he reckoned that being able to reach the middle-stage Dao Realm was already very impressive.


    Most likely, he was still lingering around the initial-stage Dao Realm.


    ��Uh �� then let��s lower the difficulty a bit, Earth Nether Imprint Pill then.��


    Ye Yuan talked to himself. Empyrean Loneswan��s face opposite turned green.


    This guy was absolutely here to nauseate him.


    ��Humph! Earth Nether Imprint Pill then! This Empyrean wants to see if you really have that much capability, to be able to refine a level nine medicinal pill,�� Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold snort.


    Although this Earth Nether Imprint Pill was a level nine medicinal pill, he still had some confidence. Basically, refining middle-grade or even high-grade was not too big of a problem.


    Below the stage, the faces of Song Cao and the rest were similarly ugly.


    The rank six medicinal pills that Ye Yuan said, forget about refining them, they could not even learn the rudiments of them.


    Their master could naturally refine them, but the success rate was not high either.


    It was not that they doubted Master��s strength, but that these medicinal pills were seriously too difficult to refine.


    But in the view of other martial artists, they were somewhat surprised.


    Empyrean Loneswan �� yielded to Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan said three kinds of medicinal pills, but he chose the final medicinal pill. Clearly, he did not have much confidence in the other two.


    ��Humph! Ignorant fool! To refine level nine medicinal pills, one needs to at least enter the Dao Realm before one has the chance to refine those pills successfully. He��s so young, so could it be that he can be a Dao Realm powerhouse?�� Song Cao said with a cold smile.


    ��Humph, so what even if he��s a Dao Realm powerhouse? Our master is already peak initial-stage Dao Realm. Coupled with the disparity in cultivation realm and soul force, could he still lose to him?�� Luo Yu said with a disdainful look.


    Amidst the questioning voices, the two people started the alchemy battle.


    The moment Empyrean Loneswan��s aura released, everyone burst into an uproar.


    These martial artists had never seen a Seven-star Alchemy God take action before. The moment he made his move at this time, it was God knows how many times stronger than the likes of SonG Cao.


    To these martial artists, it was incredibly astonishing!


    ��This is the strength of a Seven-star Alchemy God! Even level nine medicinal pills are also a piece of cake to Lord Loneswan, right?��


    ��That kid actually wants to challenge such an existence, is his head okay?��


    ��Heh, in my view, this kid is deliberately here to nauseate people. At his age, knowing some superficial knowledge is already pretty good.��


    �� ��


    The moment Empyrean Loneswan made his move, it gave people an extremely breathtaking feeling.


    It was as if what everyone saw in the past were all ugly girls. Now, suddenly seeing a top-grade beauty, it drove people crazy.


    There was a wave of cheering voices below the stage, cries of exclamations, as well as disdainful voices toward Ye Yuan.


    Ning Tianping could not resist rolling his eyes and said speechlessly, ��Truly a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world before. This bit of strength can let them cheer until like this.��


    Song Cao was standing right beside him. Hearing that, he said in a great rage, ��This bit of strength? That brat probably doesn��t know how to refine pills at all, right? You look, he hasn��t even started until now!��


    Ning Tianping laughed in spite of himself and said, ��My lord is being kind-hearted and is giving your master a chance to perform. The moment he makes his move, your master will be crushed until he could be badly mauled all over!��


    Song Cao smiled coldly and said, ��Being razor-tongued can��t change the outcome too! You guys had best be prepared to hand over the Sunshine Glow��s recipe.��


    Ye Yuan stood on the stage, his gaze brimming with a look of disappointment.


    Empyrean Loneswan��s bit of strength could not even compare to the weakest Empyrean in the Cloudpill Summit!


    ��Open!��


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry, reached his hand out, and beckoned. The medicinal pills were all taken into the medicinal cauldron.


    Immediately after, a vast surging aura burst out of his body.


    Everyone��s cheers abruptly ceased!


    Under Ye Yuan��s aura, Empyrean Loneswan��s alchemy aura was like a baby; weak to the extreme.


    Empyrean Loneswan��s expression changed wildly, the seals formed in his hands could not help but to stop.


    It was only to hear a puff. A burnt smell came out of the medicinal cauldron. The materials inside were directly being refined into a ruined pill.


    It was very taxing for him to refine level nine medicinal pills to begin with, so how could he withstand Ye Yuan��s heavy pressure?


    To him, Ye Yuan��s aura was like Mount Tai crushing down on top of him; he did not have the slightest strength to resist at all.


    A shock to the extreme expressions appeared on Empyrean Loneswan��s face.


    However, he did not fly into a great rage but was attracted by Ye Yuan��s pill refinement very soon.


    Not just him, his disciples were also drawn by Ye Yuan��s bedazzling pill refinement.


    In a place like the Northernmost Steppe, encountering such earth-shaking alchemy skill was undoubtedly like a good rain after a long drought to them.


    Ye Yuan��s every move and action had a tremendous sense of beauty, possessing unusually deep Dao accumulations.


    In their eyes, Ye Yuan was not refining pills but manipulating the Great Dao!


    This kind of alchemy skill had simply reached the acme of perfection; inconceivable!


    Amidst everyone��s cries of exclamations, Ye Yuan successfully condensed the pill.


    Only after a long time did Empyrean Loneswan awaken from the shock. Then, amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, he bowed in salute toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Master Ji��s alchemy cultivation is unrivaled, Loneswan admires greatly!��


    ��This �� Lord Loneswan, an exalted Empyrean, actually paid such solemn respects to a True God Realm boy?��


    ��Shocking! Too shocking! I originally thought that Lord Loneswan��s alchemy cultivation already reached the acme of perfection. Who knew that Master Ji��s alchemy strength is more than a hundred times stronger than Lord Loneswan!��


    �� ��


    In Skyreturn Plaza, astonished voices rose and ebbed like waves.


    A dignified Seven-star Alchemy God actually carried out the etiquette of a disciple to a Six-star Alchemy God. How could it not make people marvel?


    These martial artists were not versed in alchemy and did not understand the disparity between Empyrean Loneswan and Ye Yuan.


    But as an alchemist, Empyrean Loneswan understood that the disparity between him and Ye Yuan was too big!


    People should not look at how he was a Seven-star Alchemy God. The rank seven divine pills that he could refine were very limited.


    When rank seven divine pills reached level three difficulty and above, one could not refine them at all if their realm was lacking.


    Hence, when he saw that Ye Yuan had such strength, he was immediately shocked beyond words.


    As for Song Cao and the rest, they had long turned to stone on the spot.


    Their godlike master was actually defeated just like this?


    How could this brat-like young man have such terrifying alchemy strength?


    ��This �� Loneswan has many questions on alchemy. I wonder if Master Ji has spare time to give Loneswan a pointer or two?�� Empyrean Loneswan asked carefully.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The Northernmost Steppe��s Alchemy Dao is behind the times. Coming here, this Ji will just take it as giving you a fortuitous encounter.��


    The moment Empyrean Loneswan heard, he could not help being overjoyed.


    If there were no accidents, his accomplishments in alchemy would just be like that for life.


    But if there was someone giving guidance, especially the guidance of a master like Ye Yuan, that would be totally different.


    ��Many thanks, Master Ji, for showing pity! Loneswan can��t repay it even with ten thousand deaths!�� Loneswan was incredibly agitated and gave another respectful bow toward Ye Yuan.


    Finished saying, he straightened his back and immediately recovered his Empyrean��s majesty as he said in a clear voice, ��From today onward, Master Ji is this Empyrean��s distinguished guest. If anyone dares to offend Master Ji, it��s setting yourself against this Empyrean!��

 Chapter 2075 - Sweeping Through Jiu Luo

    Several days later, a piece of extremely explosive news spread throughout the entire Jiu Luo Ji.


    Empyrean Loneswan acknowledged Ji Qingyun as his master and paid respects to the latter as a disciple!


    This news was akin to a heavyweight bombshell, stirring up titanic waves in Jiu Luo Ji.


    ��Did I hear wrongly? No matter how powerful that Ji Qingyun is, he��s also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. Does Lord Loneswan have this need?��


    ��Truly inconceivable! A Seven-star Alchemy God actually acknowledged a Six-star Alchemy God as a master. I��ve lived for tens of thousands of years, but it��s still my first time hearing of such a thing.��


    ��Just what kind of god is Ji Qingyun, to actually be able to bring Lord Loneswan into submission?��


    �� ��


    The entire Jiu Luo Ji blew up. Everyone was discussing this matter frenziedly.


    Everyone was filled with curiosity toward this Ji Qingyun that popped out from no idea where.


    Empyrean Loneswan had always been a godlike figure in Jiu Luo Ji all along.


    Even Empyrean powerhouses also showed extra reverence to him and did not dare to offend in the slightest.


    But now, this kind of godlike existence actually acknowledged a thousand over years old youth as his master. It was simply too astonishing.


    But very soon, another explosive news came over. Grand Pill Establishment rolled out a new kind of wine. The name of the wine was Sunshine Glow.


    Grand Pill Establishment was recruiting nine sales representatives. Once the news came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in the entire Jiu Luo Ji.


    This Grand Pill Establishment was Empyrean Loneswan��s force.


    Not only this wine called Sunshine Glow had excellent taste, but it also had the effect of keeping out the cold.


    As long as Celestial Deity Realm martial artists drank a cup, they would not need to use any cold-warding method for half a month.


    As soon as this wine was rolled out, it immediately spread throughout the entire Jiu Luo Ji in a frenzy. Various restaurants, taverns, and wine shops rushed toward Grand Pill Establishment crazily, wanting to obtain Sunshine Glow��s dealership rights.


    Hearing this news, Zhang Tu almost went mad.


    Others did not know, but he knew that this Sunshine Glow was Master Ji��s wine!


    Now, his intestines were almost green with regret.


    Back then, if not for a moment of muddleheadedness, offending Master Ji, with the Raging Fire Tavern��s strength and his relationship with Master Song Cao, wouldn��t getting Sunshine Glow��s dealership rights still be accomplished with ease?


    But sadly, there was no regret medicine in this world that could be eaten!


    Even so, Zhang Tu still brought a large gift and went to find Song Cao.


    ��Master Song Cao, you��re also aware, my Raging Fire Tavern is number one in Jiu Luo Ji. There are hundreds of branches alone ����


    ��Number one? Heh heh, that��s all in the past! The moment Sunshine Glow emerged, your Raging Fire Tavern probably can��t even enter the top 10 anymore. Brother, don��t blame me. Want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having eyes, offending Grandmaster. These things, bring them away. If Grandmaster knew about it, wouldn��t he break my legs?��


    Zhang Tu��s words were not finished saying yet and were interrupted by Song Cao coldly, directly issuing an order to evict the guest.


    Leaving the Song Manor, Zhang Tu felt like the entire world turned gloomy.


    A single misstep resulted in eternal regret!


    In the old days, his Raging Fire Brew was unique in Jiu Luo Ji. It could be said that he could summon the rain and wind in Jiu Luo Ji.


    But now, the Raging Fire Brew was left without anyone caring about it overnight.


    Sure enough, the nine great representatives were picked very quickly. As soon as Sunshine Glow came out, it was akin to like a fierce wind passing through, being all the rage.


    There were long queues in the shops of the nine sales representatives every day.


    Many martial artists queued for several days and nights in order to taste a mouthful of this legendary Sunshine Glow.


    ��Really too freaking delicious! Grand Pill Establishment is really harming people! After drinking this wine, drinking other wines will be like horse piss.��


    ��Equipped with this jar, I won��t need to think of ways to ward off the cold within a year anymore!��


    ��This wine should only belong in the heavens! Fine wine! Fine wine!��


    �� ��


    After Sunshine Glow came out, it became an extremely popular item very soon. Even if Grand Pill Establishment brewed it around the clock, it was also unable to satisfy the enthusiasm of all the martial artists.


    Later on, the various major restaurants could only limit the supply.


    A cup of Sunshine Glow was even hiked to a sky-high price.


    But even so, no one would go and sell the wine at all.


    People who had the luck to purchase the wine all cherished what was theirs, hiding and tucking it away, fearful of being known by people.


    On this day, Zhang Tu finally purchased a small jar of Sunshine Glow after queuing for seven days and nights.


    Hence, he could not wait and drank a mouthful.


    The moment the wine entered the abdomen, a mellowness instantly spread throughout his four limbs and bones, as if an electric current ran through.


    At the same time, a hot current gathered at this dantian area, as if it was the blazing sun illuminating from high up, continuously warming his body.


    ��Fine wine! Truly excellent wine!�� Zhang Tu could not resist praising.


    But after praising, his expression turned dim.


    Such a fine wine, he actually passed right by it!


    Originally, it should be him who became a figure who could summon the wind and rain in this Jiu Luo Ji.


    But now, everything was gone!


    �� ��


    Inside Grand Pill Establishment, Empyrean Loneswan was looking at Ye Yuan with a look of worship.


    Toward Ye Yuan, he already prostrated on all fours in admiration.


    After Ye Yuan entered Grand Pill Establishment, Empyrean Loneswan asked him about some areas that he did not understand. The incisiveness of Ye Yuan��s understanding took his breath away in astonishment.


    On some areas that were obstructed originally, he suddenly saw the light.


    The following few days, the more he consulted Ye Yuan on Alchemy Dao, the more that he felt that Ye Yuan was unfathomable.


    He even suspected whether or not Ye Yuan already stepped into the legendary Ancestor Realm.


    Otherwise, how could he have such a deep understanding of Alchemy Dao?


    Therefore, he steeled his resolve and acknowledged Ye Yuan as his master.


    Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment but still agreed.


    This Empyrean Loneswan could acknowledge him as master as a Seven-star; it could be seen that he genuinely loved alchemy.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan still had to borrow Empyrean Loneswan��s power to save Lu-er.


    After acknowledging him as his disciple, Ye Yuan took out the Sunshine Glow��s recipe and handed it to Empyrean Loneswan.


    After Empyrean Loneswan drank the Sunshine Glow, he felt even more respect towards Ye Yuan from the depths of his heart.


    As the saying went: those who reached first can teach. Ye Yuan could casually take out such a freakish pill formula, it could be seen how deep his attainments in Alchemy Dao were.


    Indeed as expected, as soon as Sunshine Glow rolled out, it immediately swept across Jiu Luo Ji, and allowed Grand Pill Establishment earn boatloads of money.


    ��Listening attentively to Master preach on Dao these few days, this disciple suddenly saw the light and seemed to have already touched the threshold of middle-stage Dao Realm,�� Empyrean Loneswan said excitedly.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and shook his head and said, ��You��re still far away! Although you became an Empyrean and a Seven-star Alchemy God, your foundation is too shallow. It seems like you��ve already touched the threshold of middle-stage Dao Realm, but in reality, you��re too far away. Even if give you a thousand, ten thousand years, you might not be able to enter middle-stage Dao Realm too.��


    Imparting Dao to Loneswan these few days, Ye Yuan was already shocked.


    He had never seen before a Seven-star Alchemy God with such a shallow foundation.


    Being able to enter Seven-star, this Empyrean Loneswan absolutely got massively lucky.


    Placed in the Southern Border, Empyrean Loneswan was probably even inferior to Yun Yi, let alone talk about other Seven-star Alchemy Gods.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s face, Empyrean Loneswan also had a look of embarrassment on his face as he said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��It��s exactly as Master said. It��s just that this Northernmost Steppe, spirit medicines are lacking and inheritances are missing. Wanting to step into Seven-star is as hard as ascending to heaven!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Hence, if you want to improve further, don��t reach beyond your grasp, but be down-to-earth.��


    Empyrean Loneswan repeatedly said yes.


    The two people chatted for a while when Empyrean Loneswan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Master, Jiu Luo Ji��s other seven great Empyreans have heard about you. All of them want to come over to pay respects to you. I wonder �� what��s your opinion?��

 Chapter 2076 - : Aweing the Group of Empyreans

    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, thinking to himself that the thing he waited for finally came.


    He naturally did not do so many things in order to show off his power and make a name for himself. It was actually in order to make these Empyreans pay him a visit.


    Jiu Luo Ji had nine great Empyreans. Ye Yuan, as an outsider, running over to ask for people without rhyme or reason was no different from a lamb being thrown to the wolves.


    Then what could let him get close to these Empyreans?


    It was naturally alchemy!


    Since Empyreans revered alchemy immensely, then as long as he displayed his alchemy strength, would these Empyreans still not look to him for help?


    In addition, Ye Yuan also took out the Sunshine Glow, this major killing tool. These Empyreans would view him in a different light even more.


    As for Empyrean Loneswan wanting to acknowledge him as master, this exceeded Ye Yuan��s expectations.


    Eight Empyreans appearing in unison, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy all of a sudden.


    Song Cao and the rest of the disciples waited upon them carefully, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    Ye Yuan sat up straight, looking calm and composed.


    The eight great Empyreans all sized Ye Yuan up with curious faces, clearly all carrying a trace of doubt.


    They never would have thought that Empyrean Loneswan��s master was actually so young.


    ��Master, Disciple will introduce to you. This is Sword Star Pavilion��s Empyrean Void Sword,�� Empyrean Loneswan said.


    ��Master Ji!�� Empyrean Void Sword said with clasped hands.


    Ye Yuan looked over, nodded his head slightly, which was considered to have greeted Empyrean Void Sword.


    Empyrean Void Sword��s brows furrowed, thinking to himself that this boy was so arrogant.


    Empyrean Loneswan appeared slightly awkward, but he knew that Master had great ability. Being a little cold and arrogant was normal. Hence, he carried on making introductions to several others.


    ��This is Ice Cloud Tower��s master, Empyrean Ice Cloud. Her ice-attribute laws have reached the acme of perfection, with her strength being powerful.��


    But the fourth one that Empyrean Loneswan introduced was a middle-aged woman who had already partly lost her good looks but still retained her graceful bearing.


    Actually, from the moment she came in, Ye Yuan��s attention was placed on her.


    Among Jiu Luo Ji��s nine great Empyreans, only this Empyrean Ice Cloud was a woman. Who could it be if it was not her?


    ��Mmm.�� Ye Yuan still grunted a response perfunctorily.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud gave a cold snort and said, ��Your esteemed self is also a little too arrogant, right? We��re this Jiu Luo Ji��s masters no matter what. Us greeting you and you gave us this kind of attitude?��


    The moment Empyrean Loneswan heard this, he knew that it was going to be bad. Others did not know, but he knew that his master was not being arrogant. It was his master having the confidence.


    How could ordinary Empyreans enter his eyes?


    It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud, this old lady��s temper, was not an ordinary kind of cold arrogance. How could she stand Ye Yuan��s attitude?


    Sure enough, the other Empyreans were all reserved. But reaching her, it broke down.


    Clearly, the other Empyreans also knew Empyrean Ice Cloud��s temper and were all waiting for her to jump out.


    Everyone was not a fool. For Empyrean Loneswan to be able to acknowledge such a young person as his master, this young man definitely had aspects surpassing others.


    Although they all did not believe it, they also would not be silly enough to go and offend the other party.


    After all, they were all here to request for pills, and not to look for trouble.


    Once they offended the master, where would they go to find medicinal pills?


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s eyelids raised slightly and he said indifferently, ��If Empyrean Ice Cloud feels like this Ji��s attitude is haughty, you can leave first. You all came here simply for the sake of requesting for pills. Since you have something to ask this Ji, then whatever attitude I have, you have to endure it. Isn��t that so?��


    The moment the group of Empyreans heard, they all thought, terrific fellow, indeed clashed!


    How venerated was Empyrean Ice Cloud��s status in this Jiu Luo Ji? When had she suffered this kind of wrong before?


    It was only to see her laugh. She then said, ��Huhu! What a wildly arrogant Master Ji! I wonder if your ability is as great as your spirit!��


    Ye Yuan gave her a light glance and said coolly, ��How can my ability be what you can gauge? I already said, those who don��t believe me can very well leave.��


    ��You!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud��s frosty eyebrows rose in anger and she suddenly stood up.


    With her flying into a rage, Empyrean pressure swept over toward Ye Yuan crazily. She actually wanted to take action.


    With this, Empyrean Loneswan was enraged too. He said with a cold snort, ��Ice Cloud, letting you all come in is Master giving you guys face. But you��re not giving this Empyrean face like this! This place doesn��t welcome you! Please leave! Also, don��t come and beg this Empyrean for medicinal pills for your Ice Cloud Tower anymore in the future!��


    Empyrean Loneswan had long already prostrated on all fours in admiration toward Ye Yuan these few days.


    Although he was an Empyrean, he would never put on any airs of an Empyrean in front of Ye Yuan.


    Who could have thought that this Ice Cloud did not give face at all, and actually questioned Master in front of him, and even wanted to attack? How could he tolerate it?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s expression darkened. Empyrean Loneswan��s move was too vicious!


    In this Northernmost Steppe, Seven-star Alchemy Gods could be this arrogant.


    No one dared to offend a Seven-star Alchemy God. Once offended, one could only feel endless regret. Their cultivation could only rely on luck in the future!


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s face was extremely ugly, standing there, at a loss on what to do.


    The others were also secretly startled. They all did not think that the normally incomparably lofty Empyrean Loneswan was actually so respectful toward Ye Yuan.


    Empyrean Void Sword hurriedly stepped forward to be a mediator, saying with a smile, ��The two of you, don��t get angry. Since Master Ji is Empyrean Loneswan��s master, then he naturally has genuine ability. Younger Sister Ice Cloud, you also have to fix your temper.��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud gave a cold snort but did not dare to make a sound anymore. But she still had a stubborn look on her face, not having the intention of backing down.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, ��I know that everyone questions my strength, but how can my ability be what you can imagine! As long as you all can pool together enough spirit medicines, this Ji will create ten Empyreans for you, where��s the difficulty in that?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces revealed disbelieving expressions.


    Which of them did not corroborate their Dao as Empyreans after narrow escapes, bathed in bloody slaughters in this Northernmost Steppe.


    How could Empyrean powerhouses be created as you wished?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s face had an even more apparent sneer.


    But this time, she learned to be smart and just smiled coldly and did not speak.


    ��Heh, you all don��t put on those expressions. That day when I had the alchemy battle with Master, I didn��t open my furnace. But do you all know what grade was Master��s Earth Nether Imprint Pill?�� Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold smile.


    Empyrean Void Sword said hesitantly, ��What grade was it? Could it have been �� superior-grade?��


    Another Empyrean said, ��Heaven-grade?��


    ��Huhu, you all see for yourselves!��


    Empyrean Loneswan laughed coldly and threw a small bottle to Empyrean Void Sword.


    Empyrean Void Sword caught the medicine bottle curiously. The others all stared at all, similarly having curious faces.


    Looking at Empyrean Loneswan��s appearance, could it be divine-grade?


    Except, they denied this notion very quickly. How was this possible?


    Earth Nether Imprint Pill was a level nine medicinal pill. They knew that Empyrean Loneswan could at most only refine high-grade.


    Even if this Ye Yuan was formidable, he was also merely a Six-star Alchemy God. At the very most, it was also just peak heaven-grade.


    Empyrean Void Sword probed with divine sense and his expression suddenly changed wildly, looking at Ye Yuan with a horrified face, as if he had seen a ghost.


    ��Brother Void Sword, just what grade is it?��


    When everyone saw his expression, they became even more curious.


    Could it really be divine-grade?


    Void Sword threw the small bottle to another Empyrean and said with a sigh, ��Brother Huiming, you see for yourself!��

 Chapter 2077 - Ruthless Extermination

    The medicinal bottle passed around the hands of the Empyrean powerhouses.


    After the person in front finished inspecting, they just silently passed it to the next person, the expression on their faces incomparably stunned.


    Even someone as cold as ice like Empyrean Ice Cloud also had her curiosity stirred.


    She thought to herself, could this medicinal pill really be divine-grade?


    ��Younger Sister Ice CLoud, you take a look for yourself.


    Among the eight people, the stronger Empyrean Redfeather heaved a slight sigh and passed the small medicinal bottle to Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    Ice Cloud looked at him curiously, caught the small bottle that was thrown over, and said scornfully, ��Even if it��s divine-grade, it��s also not to the extent of making all of you have this expression, right? Humph! So what if it��s divine-grade, is this the reason for looking down on �� us?��


    As she expressed her derision, she sunk her divine sense into the small bottle.


    Talking until the end, her entire sentence was stuck in her throat, and she only felt that her throat was incomparably dry.


    ��V-Vast spirit �� divine-grade! H-How is this possible?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s pupils constricted, her gaze full of disbelief.


    Vast spirit divine pill!


    In this vast expanse of Northernmost Steppe, had vast spirit divine pills appeared before?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was also not too sure, but most likely it had never occurred!


    Although the Northernmost Steppe was boundlessly vast, the Seven-star Alchemy Gods added up were also just those few.


    Even if those people��s strengths were stronger than Empyrean Loneswan, it was also not that much stronger.


    Forget about having them refine vast spirit divine pills; even ordinary purple spirit divine-grade, they probably could not refine it.


    Even if refined, it was also those level one and two simple medicinal pills.


    The difficulty of level nine medicinal pills to them was too high!


    But this young man in front of them actually refined a vast spirit divine pill with the cultivation realm of a Six-star Alchemy God?


    How was this possible?


    ��Sigh, Younger Sister Ice Cloud, you were too impulsive! How can someone capable of making Younger Brother Loneswan respect so much not have some ability?�� Empyrean Redfeather also sighed slightly and said.


    ��Some ability? Heh heh, Master Ji �� doesn��t have just some ability here!�� Empyrean Void Sword said with a laugh.


    ��Humph! This Empyrean is also a respected figure in this Northernmost Steppe. If not for Master��s Alchemy Dao making me look up to it, why would I acknowledge him as my master? Ice Cloud, before you came in, you said that you��d talk nicely. That��s why this Empyrean agreed. But now, after entering Grand Pill Establishment, you disrespected Master. This Empyrean can��t help you anymore!�� Empyrean Loneswan said with a cold snort.


    Wouldn��t Empyrean Ice Cloud looking down on Ye Yuan be equivalent to looking down on him, Empyrean Loneswan?


    How silly would he have been, to acknowledge an incapable Six-star Alchemy God as his master?


    ��This �� Master Ji, I �� I ���� Empyrean Ice Cloud stammered and already did not know what she should say.


    A Six-star Alchemy God capable of refining vast spirit divine pills was absolutely a Mount Tai existence in this Northernmost Steppe!


    She actually questioned such a major power just now.


    Only now did she know that when Ye Yuan said he could create an Empyrean powerhouse with a flip of his hand, those were not empty words.


    Since Ye Yuan could refine a vast spirit divine-grade Earth Nether Imprint Pill, then refining a divine-grade and above Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill was absolutely nothing difficult.


    It was just that the spirit medicines that the Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill required were too hard to come by. Otherwise, wouldn��t Ye Yuan creating a batch of Empyrean powerhouses be like taking something out of his pocket?


    ��Empyrean Ice Cloud, you can leave now. The medicinal pills that you��re requesting for, this Ji won��t refine them. In addition, all of Grand Pill Establishment��s medicinal pill supply to your Ice Cloud Tower will discontinue starting from today!�� Ye Yuan opened his mouth coolly and directly issued the order to chase away the guest.


    He sneered coldly to no end in his heart. Finally he showed Empyrean Ice Cloud some colors.


    To dare treat Lu-er like so, how could it do to not let you taste the flavor of despair?


    Right from the start, Ye Yuan never planned on dropping in to ask Empyrean Ice Cloud to release her.


    That was the worst strategy.


    He thought even less of snatching Lu-er with martial strength. Really pressing this Empyrean Ice Cloud into a corner, she might really hurt Lu-er.


    Since the identity of an alchemist was useful, then what did bringing Jiu Luo Ji to its knees and compelling the Northernmost Steppe to submit count for with his strength?


    One had to know, he defeated the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world with his power alone!


    Ye Yuan��s plan was to overpower her until she yielded, and he also wanted to make her send Lu-er over obediently!


    ��You! Bullying people too far!�� When had Empyrean Ice Cloud suffered this kind of treatment before? She was angered until her middle-aged expression was icy-cold.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was still thinking of apologizing. Who knew that Ye Yuan did not give her the chance at all, directly cutting off Ice Cloud Tower��s grain.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Bullying people too far? This is just you bringing trouble to yourself.��


    Empyrean Redfeather could not quite look on anymore and spoke up, ��Master Ji, Younger Sister Ice Cloud she ����


    Before he finished speaking, Ye Yuan��s expression turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��If anyone intercedes for her, don��t come to Grand Pill Establishment to request for pills anymore in the future!��


    The faces of all the Empyreans changed and they indeed did not dare to say anymore.


    They had already witnessed Ye Yuan��s strength. Although it could not directly increase their strength, it could make their factions much more powerful.


    How could such a person be casually offended?


    Even Empyrean Ice Cloud, this kind of hothead, was purely looking for abuse by opposing Ye Yuan.


    Song Cao and the rest watched until they were quaking in their boots by the side. Good lord, their grandmaster was really domineering!


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s chest heaved up and down and she gritted her teeth and said, ��Good, good, good! This Empyrean doesn��t believe that in this Northernmost Steppe, there��s just you, one alchemist!��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Ice Cloud flicked her sleeves and left.


    ��Master, this ���� Empyrean Loneswan also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually have such an intense reaction and did not even hesitate.


    In this Northernmost Steppe, the Seven-star Alchemy Gods were not just him alone.


    Hearing Empyrean Ice Cloud��s meaning, she was clearly planning to find other assemble��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods to cooperate.


    But Ye Yuan did not care in the slightest and said coolly, ��Loneswan, remember! Under my charge, alchemists mustn��t be insulted! Not only this Ji is like this, you as well as Song Cao they all, need to have this confidence, understood?��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s expression turned somber, and then he bowed and said, ��Yes, Disciple understands.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and continued, ��Loneswan, starting from tomorrow, you accompany me and head to the surrounding territories to pay a visit to fellow alchemists in the steppes.��


    The moment these words came out, all of the Empyreans�� faces changed.


    Goodness, this was ruthless extermination!


    If one was unconvinced, kill until the person submitted!


    Not only was this young man��s strength formidable, but his temper was also similarly arrogant.


    This kind of person must not be offended.


    All of the Empyreans�� hearts turned cold and naturally understood that Ye Yuan was killing the chicken to warn the monkeys.


    ��Yes, Master!�� Loneswan said respectfully.


    At the same time, he was delighted in his heart.


    With Master garrisoning, Grand Pill Establishment could do as it pleased in the Northernmost Steppe this time.


    ��Haha, Master Ji, this Empyrean has always been on close terms with Loneswan. Coming here this time, I want to request for several medicinal pills,�� Empyrean Redfeather said with some awkwardness.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��This is naturally not a problem. If you need rank six divine pills, as long as you all gather the spirit medicines, I��ll definitely return you a divine-grade medicinal pill. As for rank seven divine pills, wait for a few more days, I believe that Loneswan will be able to give you all a pleasant surprise.��


    When everyone heard that, their hearts could not help jumping. Following that, it was wild elation.


    Rank seven divine pills were too hard to come across in this Northernmost Steppe!

 Chapter 2078 - He Xiangyun

    In Ice Cloud Tower��s dungeon, it was gloomy and cold and also damp.


    Several Celestial Deity Realm disciples guarding were chatting while drinking wine to warm themselves.


    ��Did you hear? Our Ice Cloud Tower has completely fallen out with the Grand Pill Establishment. They directly cut off our medicinal pills supply. I heard that Martial Ancestor flew into a thunderous rage after returning. Senior Apprentice Sister Li got a little on her bad side and was actually killed by her with one palm!��


    ��What? Cut off the medicinal pills supply? Then what should we do about our cultivation in the future?��


    ��I heard that Martial Ancestor already sent people to arrange things with Northday Assemble��s Empyrean Dragonjade. I believe that there will be a result very soon. But that Master Ji who��s new is really too scary, to actually be able to make Empyrean Loneswan acknowledge him as a master.��


    ��Master Ji? Which Master Ji? When did our Jiu Luo Ji have an additional Master Ji?��


    ��Huhu, Junior Apprentice Sister, you were guarding the dungeon these few days and don��t know about the outside world��s situation. This Master Ji is called Ji Qingyun. Although he��s just a Six-star Alchemy God, he defeated Lord Loneswan in public. Later, Lord Loneswan even put aside the face of an Empyrean and acknowledged him as a master! Oh, right, this Master Ji even brought a kind of fine wine called Sunshine Glow. It��s already being snatched like crazy outside now!��


    ��S-So impressive?��


    That junior apprentice sister��s mouth opened wide, a face of disbelief.


    Empyrean Loneswan was a god-like existence in her eyes.


    But now, this god-like existence actually acknowledged a Six-star Alchemy God as his master. Then how formidable was the other party?


    She was already unable to imagine it.


    Inside the dungeon, when a gaunt and thin figure heard ��Ji Qingyun�� these three words, her beautiful figure suddenly trembled.


    Following that, she actually wept with joy.


    ��He came! I knew it! I know that you��ll be fine!��


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize with one glance and this thin figure was precisely the Lu-er that he had already not seen for more than a thousand years.


    In these several decades, Lu-er had always been suffering torment.


    Eldest Senior Sister He Xiangyun told her that her master already sent Senior Apprentice Sister Xun to go capture Ye Yuan.


    When Senior Apprentice Sister Xun captured Ye Yuan and brought him back, if she still dared to disagree with the wedding with Feng Tianyang, her master would sentence Ye Yuan to death.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun had left several decades ago. Calculating it, she should also be coming back.


    Lu-er naturally had confidence in her young master. But the more she cultivated, the more she knew that cultivation was not easy.


    Senior Apprentice Sister Xun was a top five ranking existence in Jiu Luo Ji, being a late-stage True God Realm mighty expert.


    Even if Ye Yuan was formidable, it was likely hard to resist Senior Apprentice Sister Xun too!


    Hence, these several dozen years, Lu-er did not have a single day where she could cultivate serenely and also did not have a day where she could rest well.


    Presently, she had a wan and sallow appearance.


    If Ye Yuan was here, his heart would probably ache terribly.


    But earlier, the discussion of Ice Cloud Tower��s third-generation disciples made Lu-er wildly ecstatic.


    All the worries in these several decades, all of the suffering, completely vanished without a trace at this moment.


    Sure enough, Young Master was invincible!


    He came to save me!


    Ji Qingyun this name, others did not know it, but how could she, Lu-er, not know?


    Moreover, to be able to make a Seven-star Alchemy God put aside his pride and acknowledge this figure as a master, who could it be if not her young master?


    The current Lu-er was proud and also delighted and also touched.


    The pain and resentment of these few years had long already evaporated into thin air.


    ��Turns out that His Excellency is already so incredible. Even a Seven-star Alchemy God like Lord Loneswan actually has to acknowledge him as a master!��


    Lu-er��s eyes sparkled, the joyous emotion not only expressed in words but also on the face.


    She knew that her young master was incredible. But she did not expect that a thousand years had passed and he was already formidable to such a degree.


    Even Empyrean powerhouses had to acknowledge him as a master.


    ��Great Martial Aunt!��


    Lu-er was currently rejoicing on her own when several panicky voices suddenly came from outside. She hurriedly reined in her emotions and concealed her joy.


    Although Lu-er was pure, she was not dumb.


    Since Ye Yuan changed his name and came to this Northernmost Steppe, he definitely had his plans.


    If she gave it away, not only would it disrupt Ye Yuan��s plans, it might even put Ye Yuan in danger.


    He Xiangyun was born with a mean face and had a high and mighty appearance, making people give rise to detest the moment they saw her.


    But in this Ice Cloud Tower, her seniority was the oldest and her strength the strongest.


    Seeing Lu-er, He Xiangyun had a cold smile on her face as she said, ��Your ungrateful sl*t, you really don��t know what��s good for you! Master imparted to you cultivation methods and provided resources for your cultivation. Now, asking you to do a little something, you threatened to die.��


    Lu-er said coolly, ��Senior Apprentice Sister, don��t need to say anymore. If Master makes Lu-er go and fight, even if I die on the battlefield, Lu-er will also not have any complaints. But, making Lu-er commit to Feng Tianyang that bastard, Lu-er would rather die than submit!��


    He Xiangyun curled her mouth and said disdainfully, ��What��s wrong with Feng Tianyang? He��s this Northernmost Steppe��s young generation��s number one person. Getting his favor is your fortune cultivated from your previous life!��


    Lu-er said, ��Senior Apprentice Sister, you don��t need to say anymore. These words, Lu-er has already listened until my ears are growing calluses. How that Feng Tianyang��s temperament is, I believe that Senior Apprentice Sister is even clearer than me.��


    Seeing that Lu-er was impervious to everything, He Xiangyun could not help feeling angry and said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! Are you still harboring hope in your heart? Let me tell you, your Senior Apprentice Sister Xun has already sent news that your little lover has already been captured by her. Three years if it��s short, five years if it��s long, they will be able to return to Jiu Luo Ji.��


    He Xiangyun wanted to see a panicky expression from Lu-er��s face, or even kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.


    But she was disappointed.


    If it were before, Lu-er would still be worried.


    Now, Lu-er knew that Jiu Luo Ji had an addition Ji Qingyun. So why would she be worried?


    However, Lu-er��s face still changed colors slightly. It was just that it was reined in very quickly, recovering to an indifferent expression as she said coolly, ��Is that so? Senior Apprentice Sister Xun left for several decades and has never been heard of since. But today, she suddenly sent news, don��t Eldest Senior Sister find it strange? Saying anymore is pointless. If Senior Apprentice Sister Xun really brought Young Master over, Lu-er will naturally submit.��


    With Ye Yuan��s news, Lu-er had much more confidence when speaking.


    ��You! Little sl*t, you really think that I don��t dare to do anything to you?�� He Xiangyun said furiously.


    Lu-er could not be bothered to argue with He Xiangyun and simply shut her two eyes. Lu-er ignored her.


    ��Good, good, good! What a stubborn little sl*t! I want to see if you��re forged out of iron!��


    Under He Xiangyun��s rage, she repeatedly fired out several seals. Lightning suddenly shot from everywhere in the entire dungeon.


    Lu-er cried out painfully, her whole body being bound up by frenzied electricity.


    But the stubborn Lu-er did not make a sound. It was just that the light moans that came from time to time showed her current agony.


    The Five Lightning Array Formation was laid down in this dungeon. It was in order to prevent prisoners from escaping and also to carry out punishments.


    Since Lu-er went into the prison, He Xiangyun would come and torture Lu-er when she was unhappy, all the way until Lu-er spasmed on the ground in pain. Only then would she leave in satisfaction.


    But this was already no idea how many times.


    When those Celestial Deity Realm disciples outside heard the lightning sounds coming from inside, they knew that Martial Aunt Lu-er was being tortured again. All of them were frightened until they were silent like cicadas in winter.


    Only all the way until after more than two hours, after Lu-er laid on the ground and made no more sounds, did He Xiangyun laugh coldly. She then said, ��Tsk tsk, really pity my little junior sister. Although I can��t kill you, seeing you get tormented every day is still very satisfying, hahaha ����

 Chapter 2079 - Despaired Ice Cloud

    In front of Empyrean Ice Cloud Tower, Second Senior Sister Yang Fei-er said anxiously, ��Master, our Ice Cloud Tower has already not had gotten new medicinal pills for the greater part of this year. At present, the medicinal pills reserves are already less than 10%!��


    He Xiangyun smiled and said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister, what are you anxious about? In this Northernmost Steppe, what can stump Master?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s face was cold as frost as she said coolly, ��Humph! That boy thinks that by relying on a mere Grand Pill Establishment, he can boycott our Ice Cloud Tower? Ttruly overestimating his own ability! Although the Northernmost Steppe respects alchemists, the ones who know how to refine pills aren��t just one Loneswan alone!��


    ��Huhu, that boy has just arrived. How can he understand Master��s means?�� He Xiangyun continued buttering up.


    But actually, she was still somewhat unhappy in her heart.


    She was presently already Ninth Firmament True God and already not far from grand completion True God Realm.


    He Xiangyun heard that Master Ji��s ability was remarkable and could even refine a divine-grade Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill.


    If she could obtain one, wouldn��t she be able to corroborate her Dao and take the seat of an Empyrean?


    There was just this one shop in this Northernmost Steppe!


    Yet, her master offended him. Now, being boycotted by him, this thoroughly throttled her trace of hope to break through to become an Empyrean.


    He Xiangyun understood her potential. It was likely that the grand completion True God Realm was her limit.


    As for Empyrean, this step was far too difficult!


    In this greater part of a year, Empyrean Ice Cloud ran everywhere and finally managed to fix up a contract with Northday Assemble��s Empyrean Dragonjade. They agreed to provide Ice Cloud Tower with medicinal pills.


    While it was a little troublesome, it was not to the point of having no medicinal pills.


    Thinking up to here, Empyrean Ice Cloud��s expression eased up slightly and she said coolly, ��Mn, counting the time, the first batch of medicinal pills should already be almost arriving. No need to worry too much. Rather, that lass Xun��s side has no news whatsoever until now. Could some accident have happened?��


    He Xiangyun smiled and said, ��Master is worrying too much. A mere imperial city, what formidable character can it produce? Rather, it might be that Junior Apprentice Sister Xun couldn��t find the person. That��s why it delayed some time.��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud nodded her head slightly, also feeling that it was not too likely.


    But by the side, Yang Fei-er��s pretty face changed slightly. If Junior Apprentice Sister Xun brought that Yang Fei-er back, Little Junior Sister would definitely be forced to give in.


    The few people were currently chatting when suddenly, Empyrean Ice Cloud��s thoughts stirred. Only to see her spit divine essence, a powerful virtual image appeared in the great hall.


    Seeing the person, a trace of a smile finally appeared on Empyrean Ice Cloud��s ten-thousand-year-ice face.


    ��Brother Dragonjade, how have you been?! Suddenly coming to find Ice Cloud, could it be that the first batch of medicinal pills we agreed upon is arriving?�� Ice Cloud said smilingly.


    This virtual image was shockingly a wisp of Empyrean Dragonjade��s divine sense.


    Dragonjade smiled and said, ��Younger Sister Ice Cloud, this Empyrean is finding you to let you know that our cooperation probably can��t carry on anymore. As for the deposit that you paid in advance, this Empyrean will send someone to return it in due time. Alright, this Empyrean still has something, goodbye!��


    ��Wait, Brother Dragonjade ����


    Empyrean Dragonjade completely ignored Empyrean Ice Cloud. His virtual image gradually dissipated, leaving behind Ice Cloud and the rest whose expressions changed drastically.


    ��This �� How can this be?�� He Xiangyun was still brimming with confidence previously. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, the situation suddenly changed.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud recovered to a dead person��s expression. Her expression was as ugly as it could get.


    When she went to find Empyrean Dragonjade previously, Empyrean Dragonjade was still very enthusiastic.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud also paid a great price for this.


    But who knew that in a blink of an eye, Empyrean Dragonjade actually went back on his word.


    Suddenly, a voice sounded out in the great hall. The person said, ��Younger Sister Ice Cloud, are you there?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s eyes glimmered and she said, ��It��s Brother Redfeather. Please enter.��


    A figure slowly stepped in. It was precisely Empyrean Redfeather.


    In this Jiu Luo Ji, the nine great Empyreans each acted of their own free will. But to talk about relationships, it was pretty good between Empyrean Redfeather and Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    The moment Redfeather entered the hall, he said, ��Younger Sister Ice Cloud, you have to be more careful. Master Ji traveled around the various territories in this greater part of the year, challenging powerhouses from everywhere, with his fame already shaking the Northernmost Steppe.��


    But he suddenly discovered that the expressions of everyone in the hall were very amiss.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud even had a face like dead ashes, disbelief on her face.


    ��What is it?�� Empyrean Redfeather asked uncertainly.


    Ice Cloud did not answer. He turned to Yang Fei-er.


    Yang Fei-er laughed bitterly and said, ��Lord Redfeather is a step too late. Just earlier, Empyrean Dragonjade broke the contract and already stopped providing medicinal pills to our Ice Cloud Tower.��


    Empyrean Redfeather��s expression changed. Following this, he sighed and said, ��Sigh, Younger Sister Ice Cloud, your attitude should change! This Master Ji��s alchemy strength is unrivaled and really can��t be offended!��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud gnashed her teeth in hatred at this time. Her chest was heaving up and down. She was practically at the brink of rampaging already.


    ��I don��t believe that a mere six-star Alchemy God can still make the Northernmost Steppe bow its heads in submission! This Empyrean will go and find Empyrean Xiao Yu right now!��


    As Empyrean Ice Cloud said this, she was about to leave. But then she heard Empyrean Redfeather sigh faintly and said, ��It��s too late. Just earlier, Vast Wind Assemble sent news that Ji Qingyun challenged Empyrean Xiao Yu. Empyrean Xiao Yu suffered a crushing defeat and carried out the etiquette of a disciple in front of Ji Qingyun.��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the great hall changed wildly.


    ��What? Empyrean Xiao Yu was also �� also defeated? He �� He��s the extreme north��s number one Alchemy Dao person, a middle-stage Dao Realm powerhouse!��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was really visibly moved this time.


    Vast Wind Assemble was the strongest pill establishment in the Northernmost Steppe. And Empyrean Xiao Yu was also the publicly recognized strongest Seven-star Alchemy God in the Northernmost Steppe.


    But now, Ji Qingyun even defeated him too!


    Defeated then defeated, but Empyrean Xiao Yu actually carried out the etiquette of a disciple towards Ji Qingyun like Empyrean Loneswan.


    Just how monstrous was this Ji Qingyun?


    Vast Wind Assemble was actually managed by Feng Tianyang��s father.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was planning on forcefully bringing Lu-er to request help from Vast Wind Assemble just now.


    But hearing this news, she was akin to being struck by lightning.


    Matters between Empyreans could not be settled by marriage and becoming in-laws.


    Ji Qingyun was currently like the noonday sun. Even Empyrean Vast Wind also had to give Ji Qingyun some face.


    How could he possibly offend Ji Qingyun, this great buddha, for Lu-er?


    Let alone that Feng Tianyang had at least ten, if not eight women too. Why would he pay attention to her, a measly little Empyrean Ice Cloud?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud suddenly discovered that with how vast the Northernmost Steppe was, there was actually no place for her to stay anymore!


    Empyrean Redfeather gave Empyrean Ice Cloud a glance rather sympathetically and sighed and said, ��Younger Sister Ice Cloud, after Master Ji returns, give in to him! While he��s a little arrogant, he��s actually very easy-going.��


    Having contact with Ye Yuan these few days, Empyrean Redfeather discovered that Ye Yuan was actually very easy to have dealings with.


    As long as one did not oppose him, he would even give quite a lot of concessions in medicinal pills.


    Furthermore, Ji Qingyun��s medicinal pills were really extremely impressive.


    He requested for a few medicinal pills, and then the disciples under him actually all broke through their cultivation realms.


    How could this kind of powerhouse be easily offended?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan threw them an even larger bait, which was Empyrean Loneswan!


    This time, Ye Yuan brought Empyrean Loneswan along to tour the extreme north. Once they returned, Empyrean Loneswan might have a large improvement in strength!

 Chapter 2080 - Lowly

    At the Grand Pill Establishment, Empyrean Loneswan was more and more respectful in front of Ye Yuan.


    During this one year, Ye Yuan brought him to tour the extreme north��s territories and challenged the various mighty Seven-star Alchemy Gods. There was not a single defeat.


    Even the extreme north��s number one person, Empyrean Xiao Yu, also completely lost to Ye Yuan.


    Of course, during this one year, Empyrean Loneswan gleaned immense benefits by following Ye Yuan��s side.


    He was an Empyrean to begin with. He was even more sensitive toward the flow of Dao.


    The realm that Ye Yuan displayed made him have a feeling of suddenly seeing the light.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s guidance normally, Empyrean Loneswan was already just a step away from the middle-stage Dao Realm.


    At present, he felt incomparably joyful regarding his own decisive decision.


    So what if he was an Empyrean?


    Putting down those vague and insubstantial pride and acknowledging an exceptional teacher beats several thousand years of bitter cultivation!


    ��Master, it��s likely not appropriate for us to isolate the Ice Cloud Tower like this, right? No matter what, she��s an Empyrean powerhouse too. At this rate, I��m afraid that she��ll be detrimental to you!�� Empyrean Loneswan said cautiously.


    Ye Yuan could tell that Empyrean Loneswan was really concerned about his safety.


    But he did not take it to heart and just said coolly, ��No worries. Just based on her, she can��t harm me yet. Oh, right. Help me spread this piece of news out, saying that Master wants to refine a furnace of medicinal pills and require the Profound Yin Divine Physique to assist by the side. If there��s a Profound Yin Divine Physique that comes forth, Master will definitely show generous thanks.��


    The moment Empyrean Loneswan heard, he could not help revealing a strange look as he said, ��This ��Tthere��s a Profound Yin Divine Physique inside that Ice Cloud Tower!��


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of surprise and said, ��Oh? So coincidental? Forget it, let that old lady get off cheap then. If she can have that Profound Yin Divine Physique come to help me refine pills, this matter will be dropped just like that. Oh, right, this piece of news still needs to be spread. Make that old lady come find us; don��t make it like we��re rushing to beg them.��


    ��Yes, Master!�� Empyrean Loneswan received the order and left.


    Ye Yuan naturally said these words on purpose.


    Toward Empyrean Loneswan, Ye Yuan still could not trust completely yet.


    After all, those who were able to corroborate their Dao and take the seat of an Empyrean in this Jiu Luo Ji, which one was simple?


    Once anything went wrong with this matter, Ye Yuan had the means to protect himself. But wanting to save Lu-er would become extremely difficult.


    Traveling along the way for several decades, Ye Yuan had long planned everything out.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was not on guard against him at all, but he knew about Empyrean Ice Cloud like the back of his hands.


    He sought out a Profound Yin Divine Physique to assist in pill refinement with the name of a grandmaster, this was also commonly seen in alchemy and would not arouse people��s suspicions.


    Everything that Ye Yuan did previously was all for the sake of this scheme today.


    He wanted to make Empyrean Ice Cloud send Lu-er over willingly!


    It was just that Loneswan��s action of acknowledging a master made his plan go a little easier.


    Sure enough, the moment the news was spread, Empyrean Ice Cloud ran over.


    Just lending for a few days, Empyrean Ice Cloud naturally would not let go of this chance to get on friendly terms with Ye Yuan.


    ��The incident previously was all Ice Cloud failing to see your true ability despite having eyes. I heard that Master Ji requires the assistance of a Profound Yin Divine Physique in pill refinement. Our Ice Cloud Tower just happens to have a disciple that��s of the Profound Yin Divine Physique. Ice Cloud is willing to lend her to Master Ji to refine pills. I hope that Master Ji won��t bear a grudge against Ice Cloud anymore and let the Ice Cloud Tower off,�� Empyrean Ice Cloud Tower said with a fawning smile.


    Ye Yuan had long seen through that this Empyrean Ice Cloud was an old lady who bullied the weak but feared the strong.


    Vast Wind Assemble was strong, so she delivered her disciple up with both hands.


    Previously, being displeased at the sight of Ye Yuan was because she still had not reached the end of her ropes.


    But now, she saw Ye Yuan��s true strength. So, she yielded.


    How could the coldness and pride from before still be seen at this time?


    If one did not know, one would even think that this Empyrean Ice Cloud was the neighbor��s mother, being very cordial.


    Looking at this face, Ye Yuan only felt disgust. Lu-er actually acknowledged such a person as master; Lu-er truly had eyes but could not see.


    ��Humph! Since this Ji made my first appearance in the world, I��ve yet to be looked down upon by people like this before. So what if Empyrean? This Ji can��t tell how many Empyreans I��ve seen before, which one isn��t reverent and respectful towards this Ji? Only Lord Ice Cloud turns your nose up at this Ji!��


    Act out the full thing when putting on a show. Ye Yuan naturally would not relax his bite so easily.


    These Empyreans were all extremely cunning. Since he played the role of this arrogant character, then be arrogant until the end.


    If he let things go so easily, it would arouse people��s suspicions instead.


    At the very least, he had to make Empyrean Ice Cloud feel that refining pills were just in passing, it was not essential.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud had an awkward look on her face and she said, ��What Master Ji said is right. Actually �� after the matter that day, Ice Cloud has always regretted it too. It��s just that ����


    ��It��s just that you felt that you still had a way out and didn��t have the need to lower your head to a mere True God Realm, is it?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was even more embarrassed when she heard that. She suddenly felt that although this Ye Yuan was haughty, he was actually extremely scheming and not the kind of silkpants who looked down on everyone.


    Just looking at his actions in the extreme north, she could tell that the other party advanced gradually and entrenched himself at every step, all the way until he forced her into a desperate situation.


    Thinking up to here, Empyrean Ice Cloud became even more respectful in her heart.


    She was born with this mindset: if you were strong, she would be weak, but if you were weak, she would be strong.


    ��This �� It was all Ice Cloud��s fault. I only hope that I can make up for it a little. Ice Cloud hopes that Master Ji can provide this opportunity,�� Empyrean Ice Cloud said respectfully.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I can give you the opportunity, but your Ice Cloud Tower��s medicinal pills, the price will increase 10% more than other factions! Don��t use that kind of expression to look at me. This is your punishment! You don��t think that by sending a Profound Yin Divine Physique over to refine pills, our enmity can be wiped clean off the slate, right?��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Ice Cloud had an impulse to vomit blood.


    To Empyrean factions, the medicinal pills that they expended every year were very considerable.


    10% price did not look like much but accumulated, it would be very horrifying.


    And this was all money thrown away!


    However, being able to purchase medicinal pills, this was already a substantial step that was taken.


    Actually, Empyrean Ice Cloud did not care too much about whether or not she could purchase rank five and rank six medicinal pills.


    But the rank seven medicinal pills that Empyrean Loneswan refined, she could not survive without them!


    Ice Cloud already heard that during this one year period, Empyrean Loneswan��s strength advanced greatly. Many medicinal pills that he could not refine in the past, he could refine them now.


    This was simply a piece of massive good news to them, these Empyreans.


    Disciples were just tools to earn money for them. Only their own strength becoming powerful was important!


    ��Many thanks to Master Ji for giving Ice Cloud this opportunity. I wonder when Master will be refining the pill, so that Ice Cloud can have people bring the Profound Yin Divine Physique over.��


    Ice Cloud already could not wait to send Lu-er over.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��No hurry. This medicinal pill is very hard to refine. This Ji still has to prepare. After three days, you just get people to send her over then! Why? You aren��t willing?��


    As Ye Yuan said those words, he discovered that Empyrean Ice Cloud wanted to speak but swallowed the words back. Ye Yuan could not help furrowing his brows.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud jumped in fright and hurriedly waved her hands and said, ��No, no, no! Ice Cloud dare not! It��s just that �� about Ice Cloud��s disciple, Vast Wind Assemble��s Feng Tianyang took fancy on her, but she isn��t willing, threatening with death at every turn. Ice Cloud is afraid that she��ll make use of this chance to escape, so ����

 Chapter 2081 - Understand or Not

    Three days later, Ice Cloud Tower��s Eldest Senior Sister He Xiangyun escorted Lu-er and arrived at Grand Pill Establishment.


    In order to set Empyrean Ice Cloud��s mind at ease, Ye Yuan agreed to her terms.


    All in all, talk about it again after seeing Lu-er first.


    But Ye Yuan��s requirement was having Empyrean Ice Cloud��s eldest disciple personally escorting her over. Because in this way, it would show sincerity.


    ��Damn lass, let me tell you this. Don��t have any lousy ideas! With me around, you can��t go anywhere!�� He Xiangyun said viciously.


    Lu-er looked straight ahead and could not be bothered to acknowledge


    Actually, she was long overjoyed in her heart already.


    Indeed, Young Master is different from the rest when doing things!


    If it were others, they would either charge into Ice Cloud Tower desperately or think of ways to infiltrate into Ice Cloud Tower to save people.


    But her young master was good. He directly made her master deliver her to the doorstep willingly.


    For more than half a year, Lu-er had been thinking of what method her young master would use to rescue her every day.


    She thought of countless possibilities but never thought of this kind of method before.


    You came to save people and even had the other party obediently deliver the person that you wanted to save in front of you.


    This kind of means was truly fantastical.


    This was �� having to help you count money after being sold, right?


    Lu-er thought mischievously in her heart.


    ��Also, Master Ji enjoys a high prestige and commands universal respect, his strength being immensely formidable. If you dare to rebut him at all, I��ll definitely tear you to shreds! Huh, heard that?��


    Seeing Lu-er ignore her, He Xiangyun could not help getting irritated.


    ��Relax, Eldest Senior Sister. The matter concerns Ice Cloud Tower��s future, Lu-er knows the importance,�� Lu-er said coolly.


    Although Lu-er had been dissatisfied with Empyrean Ice Cloud these recent few years, she had a pure heart and still had more gratitude toward Empyrean Ice Cloud than resentment.


    After all, in this 1000 years, it was Empyrean Ice Cloud who imparted to her cultivation method, giving her what she had today.


    ��Humph! Hope that you know what��s good for you! We��re about to enter Grand Pill Establishment right away. Behave yourself!�� He Xiangyun said with a cold snort.


    The two people entered Grand Pill Establishment. Under Song Cao��s lead, they entered the hall.


    The moment Lu-er entered the door, she saw that young and handsome figure who appeared slightly skinny. Her entire person immediately froze there.


    Even if a thousand years had passed, even if Ye Yuan��s present looks had changed a lot now, Lu-er still recognized at a glance.


    This figure lived in her mind every day, lived in her dream, and had never been forgotten.


    What did she wander for hundreds of millions of miles, arriving at this land of hardship, endured the disparaging and scorn of her junior and senior apprentice sisters, and whipping punishment for?


    Wasn��t it to not become his burden anymore?


    But who knew that in the end, Young Master still had to run around for hundreds of millions of miles and come to this land of extreme north to save her.


    Thinking up to here, her tears wanted to burst forth from her eyes uncontrollably.


    Lu-er was currently thinking of diving toward Ye Yuan, but she noticed that Ye Yuan was currently giving her a look, only then abruptly startling awake.


    Right now was not the time to identify each other yet!


    Empyrean Loneswan was currently seating next to Ye Yuan.


    ��Ice Cloud Tower He Xiangyun pays respect to Master Ji!�� When He Xiangyun saw Ye Yuan, she bowed respectfully.


    Seeing that Lu-er was still in a daze, her face turned cold and she said in a deep voice, ��Sl*t, what are you stoning there for? Why haven��t you hurrying up and coming over to pay respects to Master Ji?��


    As she said, she was about to make a move to deal with Lu-er.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his expression turning cold as he said with a cold yell, ��Insolence!��


    He Xiangyun did not figure out the situation and said with a cold smile, ��Sl*t, heard that? You��re too impudent!��


    ��I��m talking about you!�� Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.


    Actually, the killing intent in Ye Yuan��s heart currently already filled his chest.


    He saw how Lu-er spent these few years in Senior Apprentice Sister Xun��s memories.


    This He Xiangyun was the main culprit!


    Furthermore, with Ye Yuan��s eyesight, how could he not tell that Lu-er currently had a great deal of hidden injuries on her body. Clearly, she had suffered considerable torment.


    Just looking at He Xiangyun��s attitude, Ye Yuan could guess that these were likely related to her.


    It was just that due to Empyrean Loneswan being present, Ye Yuan could not make a move.


    Otherwise, the current He Xiangyun would already be a dead person.


    ��Ah? Me?�� He Xiangyun was stunned, clearly not believing it.


    It was clearly this lass who did not have manners, so how did it become me who was insolent instead?


    However, before she could react, Ye Yuan gave a cold yell again, ��Loneswan, slap her mouth!��


    Loneswan was taken aback but did not dare to defy, sending a slap over with a whoosh.


    He also did not understand why Ye Yuan was hitting He Xiangyun, but he heard Ye Yuan��s fury.


    Spending a long time with Ye Yuan, he had also grasped a little of Ye Yuan��s temperament. Therefore, he did not hold back in this slap.


    How could the slap of an Empyrean be what He Xiangyun could block?


    Even if she was able to react to it, she did not dare to block too!


    Smack!


    An extremely resounding slap smacked on He Xiangyun��s face, directly smacking her flying out.


    All the way until that moment she was sent flying, He Xiangyun still did not able to understand what was going on.


    Junior Apprentice Sister was disrespectful to you, Master Ji. Was there anything wrong if I am disciplining my junior apprentice sister?


    But Loneswan knew how far to go when he made his move. Although this slap was loud, it was not lethal.


    After all, He Xiangyun was Ice Cloud Tower��s eldest disciple. If this slap smacked her to death, wouldn��t that old lady come find him to fight it out?


    But Ye Yuan��s order, he carried it out without the slightest hesitation.


    When He Xiangyun crawled to her feet, half of her face was already swollen badly.


    It was only to see that she had a confused look, clearly not understanding why Ye Yuan wanted to hit her.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have seen through what she was thinking and said with a cold smile, ��Understood why I hit you or not?��


    He Xiangyun understood that Ye Yuan was presently the extreme north��s big shot. Even her master did not dare to provoke too. She could only endure this slap.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s question, He Xiangyun shook her head very innocently.


    ��Don��t even understand why I hit you? Stupid! Loneswan, hit again!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Loneswan��s expression changed, but he still followed Ye Yuan��s order. Another slap landed on the left side of He Xiangyun��s face, sending her flying to the other side.


    How heavy was the slap of an Empyrean?


    Even if Empyrean Loneswan controlled his strength, these two slaps were also enough for her to suffer.


    On the two sides of He Xiangyun��s face, the mark of ten fingers was very distinct, as if imprinted on it.


    Two slaps made He Xiangyun see stars and also could not figure out where was north, south, east, and west.


    After He Xiangyun recovered slightly, Ye Yuan asked again coolly, ��Now, do you understand?��


    How could He Xiangyun still dare to shake her head? She hurriedly nodded her head and said incoherently, ��U-Understood, understood!��


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shouted coldly again, ��Loneswan, hit again!��


    With this, even Loneswan somewhat pitied He Xiangyun.


    But he did not have the intention of holding back. Another slap flew over, He Xiangyun was sent flying once more.


    Only after she crawled to her feet did Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Clearly didn��t understand, but pretend to understand, deserves to be hit!��


    He Xiangyun had ten million profanities galloping across in her head currently.


    Your reason for hitting people is really a good reason!


    It was absolutely out of the question for her to dare say these words out. But He Xiangyun already had tears pouring down her face now, clearly feeling wronged.


    ��Humph! In this Grand Pill Establishment, who kneels and who doesn��t kneel, it��s my call. It��s ot your turn to come and gesture here and there! Now, understand?�� Ye Yuan looked at He Xiangyun coldly and said calmly.


    He Xiangyun nodded her head painfully, her face covered with tears.


    What the hell is this!

 Chapter 2082 - Apologize to Me

    ��Young Master!��


    The moment she entered the medicine refining room in the back-hall, Lu-er could not hold back anymore and dove right into Ye Yuan��s embrace. She then started sobbing loudly.


    Ye Yuan consoled carefully, his heart also filled with a thousand regrets.


    To other martial artists, a thousand years was very short.


    But to Ye Yuan and Lu-er, a thousand years was far too long!


    Ye Yuan walking all the way from the State of Qin, the one who accompanied him the longest was Lu-er.


    The two of them were known as master and servant, but actually, even Ye Yuan himself also could not tell the two of their feelings anymore.


    A thousand years was seemingly as long as seas changing into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas to them.


    ��Alright, don��t cry, don��t cry. Young Master came to fetch you home!�� Ye Yuan patted Lu-er��s back lightly and said akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    Ever since Li-er and the rest left Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan was very worried every day.


    Later, compared to the situation of White Light and Li-er, the one that he worried about most was naturally Lu-er.


    But Lu-er did not have any news all along, Ye Yuan was also greatly anxious in his heart.


    The suffering involved, only he himself was aware.


    ��Sniff, sniff �� Young Master, I even thought �� thought ����


    ��Huhu, did you think that that Senior Apprentice Sister Xun of yours came to capture me, bully me?�� Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Lu-er nodded her head. These few years, she lost all desire for food and drink. What she was most worried about was this.


    ��Miss Lu-er, rest assured. His Excellency has a high prestige now. He defeated the Southern Border with his power alone, and he is presently the Southern Border��s number one alchemy god! Also, the present Heavenly Eagle is also the Southern Border��s number one alchemy holy land. Even Empyrean Realm powerhouses have to respectfully call Grandmaster Ye when they see His Excellency! Those few senior apprentice sisters of yours didn��t even figure out the situation and ran over to capture His Excellency, simply not knowing life from death.�� Ning Tianping said with a cold smile on his face.


    When Lu-er heard, it felt like she was listening to a book from heaven; her brain not quite enough to use.


    Southern Border��s number one alchemy god and Southern Border��s number one alchemy holy land!


    The present Lu-er naturally knew how vast a land the Southern Border was.


    Ye Yuan actually became a figure that could command the wind and rain like so in the entire Southern Border.


    ��Turns out that Young Master is already this formidable?�� Lu-er was shocked and also happy.


    The more impressive her young master was, the happier she naturally would be.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No matter how impressive, I��m also your young master!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed. His expression turned cold, and he said, ��You have injuries all over your body. Someone should have used a lightning-attribute array formation to hurt you, right? If I didn��t guess wrongly, it��s that Eldest Senior Sister of yours, He Xiangyun, right?��


    Lu-er said in surprise, ��Young Master, you �� you already knew?��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��That Senior Apprentice Sister Xun of yours was stupid and was already soul-searched by me! If this was not the case, why would I set up such a grand scheme and make Empyrean Ice Cloud send you over obediently?��


    When Lu-er heard this, she could not help feeling pain in her heart.


    Ye Yuan knew Lu-er��s personality and said with a sigh, ��Oh, you, it��s been so many years, you��re also a grown girl already, to actually not have changed at all. He Xiangyun and Xun Mengyao abused you like so, but why you actually still want to plead on their behalf?��


    When Lu-er heard that, she could not help saying with a wronged face: ��They �� They are my senior apprentice sisters after all.��


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and changed the topic. He said, ��Alright, don��t talk anymore. Young Master will help you treat your wounds first!��


    Inspecting for Lu-er, only then did Ye Yuan know how severe the injuries on Lu-er��s body were.


    How brilliant were Ye Yuan��s medical skills? Inspecting slightly, he knew that some of the wounds on Lu-er��s body already lasted for several decades.


    There were even some old injuries that had been buried in the body for several hundred years!


    The more he examined, the greater the fury in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    He already secretly made up his mind that this He Xiangyun must be eliminated.


    Of course, he would not tell Lu-er.


    �� ��


    Just not long after Ye Yuan and Lu-er entered the medicine refining room, a matter that shook the Jiu Luo Ji happened.


    Vast Wind Assemble��s Empyrean Vast Wind��s son, Feng Tianyang, exited seclusion. Empyrean Vast Wind��s brother, Empyrean Windlike brought Feng Tianyang and as a large contingent of troops and came to Jiu Luo Ji to get married.


    And the target of marriage was a disciple of Ice Cloud Tower.


    This matter caused a great sensation in the entire assemble.


    Ice Cloud Tower that was originally a relatively weak power in Jiu Luo Ji became a highly popular faction all of a sudden.


    Vast Wind Assemble was one of the strongest forces in the Northernmost Steppe. Empyrean Vast Wind was even a Fifth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse, his status incomparably venerated.


    Different from Jiu Luo Ji, everyone going their own way, Vast Wind Assemble was ruled by Empyrean Vast Wind alone.


    There were as many as over a dozen Empyrean powerhouses under his command.


    And Feng Tianyang was even known as the Northernmost Steppe��s number one genius, and already a Ninth Firmament True God mighty expert.


    Just a step away and he could enter the realm of Empyrean!


    Even Empyrean Ice Cloud also did not expect that Vast Wind Assemble would regard it with such importance, to actually sent Empyrean Windlike here.


    At this time, all of Ice Cloud Tower��s disciples all came out to welcome Empyrean Windlike��s party.


    The other eight great Empyreans were also all present.


    ��Huhu, not seeing for many years, Younger Sister Ice Cloud is more and more beautiful!�� Empyrean Windlike said with a laugh.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud smiled and said, ��Brother Windlike is making fun of Ice Cloud. Ice Cloud is already a faded beauty. So how am I beautiful?��


    Empyrean Windlike could not help laughing as he said, ��What years is there to speak of for cultivators of our generation? Younger Sister Ice Cloud is too modest.��


    At this time, another old man stepped forward to greet her. The moment Ice Cloud looked, who was it if not Empyrean Xiao Yu?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud hurriedly returned the courtesy. She did not expect that Empyrean Xiao Yu actually came together too.


    Everyone present was extremely surprised.


    Vast Wind Assemble was attaching too much importance to this marriage, right? To actually have two Empyreans come at once.


    After all, Feng Tianyang had a lawfully wedded wife. Marrying Lu-er was merely as a concubine.


    Those who were not aware of the details all knew that Empyrean Xiao Yu probably had an ulterior motive, and it was with that Master Ji.


    Especially Empyrean Loneswan, it was something that he already knew.


    This Empyrean Xiao Yu was actually very envious of him entering Ye Yuan��s tutelage.


    ��Feng Tianyang pays respect to Senior Ice Cloud and various seniors.��


    At this time, a mighty youth flashed out from behind Empyrean Windlike and bowed to Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    But his appearance was not as a junior bowing respectfully to a senior, but as peers talking on equal footing.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud did not mind either, saying with a smile, ��Huhu, not seeing for some time, Honorable Nephew Feng��s cultivation grows with each passing day!��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was also very surprised in her heart. The last time she saw Feng Tianyang was still a hundred years ago.


    At that time, Feng Tianyang was merely a middle-stage Ninth Firmament True God. Now that a hundred years passed, Feng Tianyang��s strength already approached grand completion. He was only a step away from becoming an Empyrean.


    At this rate, in less than 2000 years, this boy would likely be stepping into the realm of Empyrean.


    Feng Tianyang just smiled faintly, paying no attention to this kind of compliment.


    It was just that his gaze swept, but his brows knitted together and he said in a solemn voice, ��Senior Ice Cloud Tower, your Ice Cloud Tower��s disciples are all here. Why is only Lu-er missing?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s face changed and she hurriedly gave a few words of explanation.


    Who knew that Feng Tianyang gave a cold snort and said, ��Senior Ice Cloud, your way of doing things is also too preposterous! Loneswan is my unwed-wife, you actually had her stay in the same room with another man! Empyrean Loneswan, that Ji Qingyun is your Grand Pill Establishment��s people. You order them to bring Ji Qingyun over right now and apologize to me! Just say that I, Feng Tianyang, said it!��

 Chapter 2083 - Self-Satisfied

    Everyone��s hearts turned cold. Was this opposing Master Ji?


    Everyone knew that at present, in this Northernmost Steppe, Master Ji��s limelight was in full bloom, even crushing Ice Cloud Tower until it had to bow its head in submission.


    And Feng Tianyang was the extreme north��s number one person of the junior generation, a peerless heaven��s chosen, a powerhouse who was about to step into Empyrean.


    These two great gods were going to clash head-on?


    Empyrean Xiao Yu��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Tianyang, Master Ji enjoys a high prestige and commands universal respect. I��m afraid �� this isn��t appropriate, right?��


    Feng Tianyang was unrivaledly domineering as he said with a cold snort, ��What��s inappropriate about it? I��ve long wanted to meet this Ji Qingyun. I want to see if he��s really as impressive as the legends say.��


    He was not an alchemist and did not have that much awe and veneration toward Ye Yuan at all.


    In his view, no matter how impressive this Master Ji was, if he could not be used by him, what use was there?


    Since he wanted to meet Master Ji, and there was also such a good excuse, so why not use it?


    As for whatever lone man and woman, Feng Tianyang was not worried at all.


    In this land of extreme north, no one dared to touch his, Feng Tianyang��s, woman.


    Seeing Loneswan not moving, Feng Tianyang said in a cold voice, ��What, Loneswan? Can��t hear my words?��


    At this time, Feng Tianyang was already very impolite when speaking.


    Facing Empyrean Loneswan, he even dropped the honorifics and actually directly called him by name.


    Loneswan��s expression flickered incessantly. Vast Wind Assemble was powerful; he could not afford to provoke Feng Tianyang!


    Among the extreme north��s factions, they were mutually interdependent and also exercised control over each other.


    A major faction like Vast Wind Assemble, its strength exceeded the other factions by significantly a lot. Others naturally could not afford to provoke it.


    In the Northernmost Steppe, the situation of one faction swallowing another was not rare.


    For the Vast Wind Assemble to have such a scale, it was the result of Empyrean Vast Wind going on expeditions all around.


    It was precisely because Empyrean Vast Wind was very domineering, sweeping across the extreme north, that Feng Tianyang had the confidence to treat these Empyreans as he pleased.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was already frightened by Ye Yuan and could only warn, ��Tianyang, that Master Ji��s personality is very proud. I��m afraid that ����


    Feng Tianyang sneered and said, ��Scared of what? Isn��t Senior Ice Cloud just worried that there will be no one supplying medicinal pills in the future? Rest assured, Lu-er will be this Feng��s wife in the future. Why would I ignore her parental home? Senior Xiao Yu, we��ll supply Ice Cloud Tower��s medicinal pills in the future. There��s no problem, right?��


    Empyrean Xiao Yu understood in his heart that Feng Tianyang was making an example out of Ji Qingyun!


    It was just that Feng Tianyang was the same as his father, being extremely domineering. He could only nod and said, ��No problem!��


    The moment Ice Cloud heard, she immediately felt assurance in her heart and said smilingly, ��Then �� I really thank you so much, Honorable Nephew Tianyang!��


    He Xiangyun was long already bursting with joy behind Empyrean Ice Cloud and complained tearfully, ��Master, that Master Ji is really too arrogant. You have to stand up for me!��


    That day, she escorted Lu-er to Ye Yuan there. In the end, she was directly dealt a few slaps by Ye Yuan. Until today, the swelling still had not gone down.


    After He Xiangyun who had a stricken senseless look returned, she complained tearfully to Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    Although Empyrean Ice Cloud was angry, how could she still dare to offend Ye Yuan? She could only swallow the insult and humiliation silently, and swapped with Second Eldest Sister, Yang Fei, to go over.


    But now, it was different!


    Empyrean Ice Cloud said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, you take a trip together with Empyrean Loneswan then. If that Ye Yuan dares to go against Honorable Nephew Tianyang��s orders, directly detain him and bring him here!��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s face changed and he said in a cold voice, ��Ice Cloud, what��s the meaning of this? Could it be that you��re ignoring this Empyrean?��


    ��Humph! Loneswan, could it be that you��re deeming this Feng as nothing?�� Empyrean Ice Cloud had not spoken yet when Feng Tianyang said with a cold snort.


    Loneswan��s expression changed several times. Snorting coldly, he flicked his sleeves and left.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was overjoyed in her heart. She originally thought that Feng Tianyang was just playing with Lu-er. Looking at it now, he clearly regarded Lu-er with great importance.


    With the Vast Wind Assemble as a backer, who would she still be scared of in this Jiu Luo Ji?


    ��Xiangyun, what are you still in a daze for?�� Ice Cloud said coolly.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across He Xiangyun��s face and she followed after.


    The group of Empyreans was silent like cicadas in winter. Clearly, they did not expect such a big hoo-haa to occur the moment they met.


    Although they were all not willing to offend Master Ji, Feng Tianyang clearly did not think so.


    Everyone also discerned that Feng Tianyang wanted to take Ji Qingyun in to use for himself.


    If he could not compel him to submit, then he would destroy him.


    Although everyone felt that it was a shame, they also did not say anything.


    After all, in this Northernmost Steppe, the strong reigned supreme.


    In the end, Ji Qingyun was merely a True God Realm.


    Even if He Xiangyun went, he was not a match against her.


    �� ��


    He Xiangyun was self-satisfied and already plotting on finding Ye Yuan to settle the scores.


    She had lived in this Jiu Luo Ji for so many years and had yet to suffer such unprecedented humiliation before.


    She had the personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance to begin with. Now that she found a chance, how could she not take revenge?


    Previously, not daring to make a move was dreading Empyrean Loneswan on one hand. On the other hand, it was that Ye Yuan��s prestige was too strong, she did not dare to offend.


    But now, with Feng Tianyang backing her up, what was she still afraid of?


    A mere Ye Yuan, so what even if his pill refinement was any stronger?


    With her Ninth Firmament True God powerful strength, wouldn��t trampling on Ye Yuan still be effortless?


    ��Master, Vast Wind Assemble��s Feng Tianyang has arrived. He said to have you send Miss Lu-er over. Also �� Also ����


    Talking up to here, Empyrean Loneswan truly found it hard to speak out anymore.


    At this time, He Xiangyun followed closely behind. Seeing Empyrean Loneswan��s appearance, she could not help laughing mockingly and said in a clear voice, ��Ji Qingyun, get out for your grandaunt! Lord Tianyang orders you to immediately bring that sl*t over and offer an apology to him!��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s brows furrowed slightly, opening his mouth but did not say anything.


    The Vast Wind Assemble was powerful. He, Loneswan, alone, could not afford to provoke!


    However, no one answered.


    He Xiangyun clearly did not have that patience. Not answering was perfect.


    If Ji Qingyun went obediently, she would really not have the reason to explode.


    ��Senior Loneswan, I believe that you��ve also heard Lord Tianyang��s words. Now, it��s Ji Qingyun making light of Lord Tianyang, don��t blame Xiangyun for taking action!��


    Finished talking, He Xiangyun was just about to make a move to destroy the door.


    Empyrean Loneswan snorted coldly and said angrily, ��Get lost! How can Master��s prestige be what you can violate?��


    He Xiangyun��s face changed, but she was not afraid. She then said with a cold smile, ��Senior Loneswan, you��re also an exalted Empyrean. To actually acknowledge a Six-star Alchemy God as a master? Now, Lord Tianyang is clearly going to take care of Ji Qingyun. With Vast Wind Assemble��s might, could it be that you wish to resist with your power alone?��


    When talking, He Xiangyun had a smug look.


    With Feng Tianyang backing her up at the back, why would she think anything of one Empyrean Loneswan?


    Empyrean Loneswan��s face changed several times. Finally, he said with a dark expression, ��Stay here obediently for this Empyrean. If you dare to move rashly, this Empyrean definitely won��t spare you!��


    Done talking, his figure moved and he was planning on pushing the door and entering.


    Right at this time, the hall��s door opened with a creak. A figure slowly walked out.


    When He Xiangyun saw Ye Yuan, a hint of delight from taking vengeance flashed across on her face. Pointing her finger, she said in a commanding tone, ��This young lady thought that you had a tough and unyielding character, and would rather break than bend. Didn��t expect that �� you��re a loser too! Call Lu-er and take a trip with this young lady!��


    A faint smile hung on Ye Yuan��s face and he walked over leisurely, his aura growing stronger and stronger.

 Chapter 2084 - Showdown

    Seeing Ye Yuan come in a threatening manner, He Xiangyun was not alarmed but happy instead.


    She was currently worried about not finding the reason to fly off the handle. But she did not expect that Ye Yuan actually delivered himself to the door.


    ��Peak Sixth Firmament True God? Huhu, Ji Qingyun, the humiliation that you gave this grandaunt this time, I��ll return it to you this time along with the interest!��


    He Xiangyun revealed a cruel smile. At the same time, her aura rose to the peak.


    That delightful sensation of taking vengeance was practically filling her up.


    Ye Yuan��s bit of strength was nothing at all in her eyes.


    She was Ice Cloud Tower��s head disciple, an initial-stage Ninth Firmament True God mighty expert.


    Wouldn��t dealing with a mere Sixth Firmament True God still be captured with ease?


    ��Master, you��re not her match, you mustn��t be rash!�� Empyrean Loneswan��s face changed and he was about to make a move.


    But his figure had not moved yet when Ye Yuan��s nonchalant voice came over. Ye Yuan said, ��No need for you to take action. This b*tch, I��ll do it myself.��


    Originally, He Xiangyun was still somewhat wary of Empyrean Loneswan. But this guy was actually courting death himself.


    At once, He Xiangyun laughed coldly, ice laws suddenly expanding out, ravaging over towards Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    The commotion was outrageous, making the Empyrean Loneswan by the side feel anxious and fearful.


    Ye Yuan walked over leisurely. The very first step was just around ten feet, but the further to the back, the greater the distance his one step took.


    Under He Xiangyun��s powerful aura, Ye Yuan appeared too weak.


    ��Freezing Domain!��


    He Xiangyun shouted and said with a cold smile, ��The humiliation that you gave me, I��m going to return all ����


    The words were said halfway when He Xiangyun��s expression changed drastically, looking at Ye Yuan with a horrified look.


    Ye Yuan actually passed through inside her Freezing Domain with ease, arriving in front of her in a blink of an eye.


    Smack!


    A resounding slap instantly echoed throughout the entire Grand Pill Establishment.


    This slap, Ye Yuan did not employ divine essence. It was merely struck with the power of the physical body.


    However, how horrifying was the power of his physical body?


    This slap directly slapped He Xiangyun flying out.


    Empyrean Loneswan and Yang Fei-er who were not far away both opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan who was just Sixth Firmament True God sent the Ninth Firmament True God He Xiangyun flying with a slap?


    Ye Yuan took a step out, stood in front of He Xiangyun with his hands behind his back, and said coolly, ��Just now, what did you say that you were going to do with the humiliation I gave you?��


    He Xiangyun��s face hurt to the extreme and already lost all sensation.


    Currently, half of her face was already swollen badly, being akin to a pig��s head.


    She covered her face, looking at Ye Yuan with a stunned look.


    Her Freezing Domain could even freeze space, but Ye Yuan actually cut through it?


    How was this possible?


    The reason why she did so just now was actually to give the frozen Ye Yuan a few slaps to take back her humiliation.


    Who knew that her Freezing Domain actually did not have any effect on Ye Yuan at all.


    How could He Xiangyun know that Ye Yuan��s attainments in spatial law were sufficient to rival Empyreans?


    She only came into contact with a smattering of spatial law through ice law. How could she resist Ye Yuan?


    ��I �� I��ll kill you!�� After the shock, He Xiangyun completely turned angry from embarrassment and already had killing intent aroused.


    In her view, it was just a moment of carelessness earlier. It was impossible for Ye Yuan to be her match.


    ��Limitless Ice Arrows!��


    He Xiangyun��s gaze was full of hatred. Forming seals in her hands, compact and tiny ice arrows suddenly condensed in space, and they carried out indiscriminate attacks inside this area of space.


    Even if a Ninth Firmament True God got caught inside, they would also be injured even if they did not die.


    She was fast, but Ye Yuan was faster than her!


    The moment He Xiangyun��s spell activated, Ye Yuan��s figure moved.


    Smack!


    Another slap sent her flying once more.


    Ye Yuan looked at He Xiangyun with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Kill me? Based on your strength?��


    By the side, Empyrean Loneswan was long already stupefied from watching.


    It was his first time knowing that Ye Yuan��s Martial Dao strength was actually so strong!


    With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that not only did Ye Yuan comprehend spatial law, his fleshy body even reached the late-stage sixth transformation golden body!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s sixth transformation golden body seemed to be special!


    Yang Fei-er similarly had an astonished look. The extremely powerful Eldest Senior Sister in her eyes actually lost and failed to even receive a single move.


    Not only was this Master Ji��s alchemy strength fearsome, but the strength of his martial art was also formidable. What kind of monster was this!


    But at this time, she could not look on with folded arms anymore as well, her figure moving and blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and she said, ��You want to stop me?��


    Yang Fei-er��s expression was pale. She knew that she was not Ye Yuan��s match, but she said stubbornly, ��Eldest Senior Sister was disrespectful toward Master Ji. I �� I apologize to you on her behalf. I hope that Master Ji shows mercy.��


    At this time, Empyrean Loneswan also urged, ��Master, hold on just a moment! That Feng Tianyang currently wants to use you to establish awe. If you kill He Xiangyun, wouldn��t you fall right into his scheme?��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh? If I want to become enemies with this Feng Tianyang, what will you choose?��


    Presently, it already reached the moment of a showdown. Loneswan��s every action and conduct was all within Ye Yuan��s observations.


    He Xiangyun came representing Feng Tianyang. Just now, when she made a move toward him, Loneswan was clearly planning on taking action.


    Looking at it like this, this Loneswan was rather sincere toward him.


    Loneswan let out a sigh, shook his head, and said, ��It��s no use! Feng Tianyang is naturally nothing, but behind him is Empyrean Vast Wind, one of the extreme north��s strongest existences. Even if I want to stand up for Master, my spirit is willing, but my strength is lacking too!��


    To Empyrean Loneswan, Vast Wind Assemble was a colossal giant.


    A mere Grand Pill Establishment was totally not enough to look at in front of the Vast Wind Assemble.


    Although he was an Empyrean powerhouse, he had to lower his head too!


    Ye Yuan looked at Loneswan and said with a smile, ��I��m only asking you. If I must shed all pretenses of cordiality with Feng Tianyang, what will you do?��


    Although Ye Yuan looked like he was joking, Loneswan understood in his heart that Ye Yuan already made a decision in his heart.


    Now, was the time where it was his turn to make a decision.


    Was it to stand on Ye Yuan��s side and fight till the death, or betray Ye Yuan and stand on Feng Tianyang��s side.


    But, this was a battle where no hope could be seen at all!


    Just based on him, one Empyrean, how was it enough?


    Once they lost all decorum, don��t talk about Empyrean Vast Wind who was in the distance Vast Wind Assemble, even Jiu Luo Ji��s Empyreans would also definitely stand on Feng Tianyang��s side.


    Empyrean Loneswan��s face revealed a struggling look, clearly extremely conflicted in his heart.


    He had no intention of becoming enemies with Ye Yuan. But this kind of pointless sacrifice, he was truly unable to understand!


    Ye Yuan did not urge either, he just looked at Empyrean Loneswan indifferently, waiting for him to make his decision.


    At this time, He Xiangyun finally struggled to her feet and said inarticulately, ��Just based on you, a puny little True God Realm, you also dare to become enemies with Lord Tianyang? Reckless and blind thing! Where��s Lu-er that sl*t? Why haven��t you made her come out!��


    Slap, slap, slap ��


    Yang Fei-er did not even react to it, and Ye Yuan already arrived behind He Xiangyun.


    A series of slaps greeted her, hitting until He Xiangyun��s blood and foam sputtered, her eyes seeing stars.


    After no idea how many slaps, Ye Yuan finally stopped.


    Looking at the dead pig-like He Xiangyun, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Know why I hit you?��


    He Xiangyun��s eyes rolled back and she instinctively shook her head.


    She also really wanted to know what Ye Yuan targeted her like so. Yang Fei-er was clearly by the side too, but Ye Yuan did not touch her at all. Was it merely because she offended him?


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Because �� I��m called Ye Yuan.��

 Chapter 2085 - Sit Back and Wait

    Ye Yuan?


    Who was Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan was struck silly by Ye Yuan, her brain not wrapping itself around it for a while.


    Rather, it was Yang Fei-er who suddenly cried out in surprise. Looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief, she said with a cry of surprise, ��Ye Yuan? You �� You��re that young master who Lu-er spoke of �� Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, ��That��s right. It��s precisely me! Senior Apprentice Sister Fei-er, for the past one thousand years, thank you very much for taking care of Lu-er.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan gave a deep bow toward Yang Fei-er, to show his thanks.


    This bow, it came from the bottom of Ye Yuan��s heart.


    In these 1000 years, if not for Yang Fei-er looking after, Lu-er would probably have died long ago.


    Yang Fei-er was full of disbelief and muttered, ��This �� how is this possible? Didn��t Junior Apprentice Sister Xun go to find you �� Oh, right! With your strength, how can Junior Apprentice Sister Xun be your match?��


    Speaking up until here, Yang Fei-er shook her head with a bitter smile.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan was easy to bully, but who could have expected that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually even stronger than Eldest Senior Sister He Xiangyun?!


    One had to know, Lu-er��s cultivation speed was already extremely horrifying, cultivating from the Heaven Glimpse Realm to the True God Realm in a thousand over years�� time.


    How could Ice Cloud Tower��s people think that her young master��s cultivation talent was even more horrifying than hers?


    Although his realm was still clearly lacking, his combat power was off the charts, directly using the power of the fleshy body to crush He Xiangyun, who was a Ninth Firmament True God.


    This kind of talent was truly terrifying to the extreme.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan was also an unrivaled alchemy master, sweeping across the Northernmost Steppe, making a group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods bow their heads in submission.


    The shock in Yang Fei-er��s heart simply could not be any greater.


    Was there really such a monstrous genius in this world?


    ��Y-You��re Ye Yuan!�� He Xiangyun used a muffled voice and cried out in surprise.


    Although they could not hear what she was saying too clearly, they could hear her fear.


    He Xiangyun finally understood why Ye Yuan found fault and directly gave her a few slaps.


    It turned out that he was taking revenge for Lu-er!


    That target that they could freely knead in their hearts actually appeared in the Northernmost Steppe now, casually kneading them.


    This kind of thing made people too unable to accept it.


    Just like you saw an ant from afar. Walking in front of it to take a look, turns out that it was a giant.


    That kind of terror, this kind of shock, simply could not use words to describe.


    ��Huhu, also, you! For the past one thousand years, I have to thank you for taking extra care of Lu-er. Of course, stemming from repayment, you can go and die already.��


    Ye Yuan pointed a finger out, directly blasting He Xiangyun to dregs, destroyed in body and soul.


    At this time, Yang Fei-er finally recovered from the shock, and looked toward Ye Yuan while being somewhat fearful as she said, ��Y-You hurry up and bring Lu-er away from here, while Feng Tianyang hasn��t discovered it yet! Not only does he want Lu-er, but he also wants to deal with you. If you let him discover your relationship with Lu-er, he definitely won��t spare you!��


    When Yang Fei-er learned of Ye Yuan��s real identity, what she thought about right away was to have them hurry up and escape. The further they ran, the better.


    After all, no matter how strong Ye Yuan was, he was also just a True God Realm.


    In this Jiu Luo Ji, there were ten Empyrean-level powerhouses.


    Once discovered by them, the two of them could forget about escaping.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Leave here? Why leave? If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. The reason why I stayed behind is to meet this Feng Tianyang. I want to see what kind of character he is.��


    Yang Fei-er even thought that Ye Yuan��s temperament flared up and said anxiously, ��Now isn��t the time to be willful. Feng Tianyang��s strength is not what Eldest Senior Sister can compare to. Furthermore, he even brought two Empyrean powerhouses.��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not answer, but looked at Empyrean Loneswan and said smilingly, ��Have you thought about things over? If you��ve thought it through, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, you only have this one chance.��


    Empyrean Loneswan kept quiet by the side the entire time, but in his heart, monstrous waves were similarly stirred up.


    Although he did not understand what was going on, he could think of the reason why Ye Yuan suddenly appeared in Jiu Luo Ji; his goal was simply Lu-er!


    What a grand scheme!


    The entire Jiu Luo Ji��s people were toyed with by Ye Yuan in the palm of his hand!


    Especially Empyrean Ice Cloud, she actually even delivered Lu-er over submissively.


    If not for seeing with his own eyes, he would not believe even if beaten to death that the entire Northernmost Steppe��s Empyrean powerhouses became Ye Yuan��s tool.


    What kind of scheming was this!


    What kind of daringness!


    What kind of means!


    However, Loneswan still could not tell what confidence Ye Yuan had, to dare remain here and provoke Feng Tianyang.


    Hang on!


    Ye Yuan played such a grand game of chess, so how could he possibly not leave himself a way out?


    Thinking all about these, Loneswan was taken aback by the shock.


    In this one year plus of living together, he thought that he already understood Ye Yuan very well.


    But only today did he discover that his understanding of Ye Yuan was too little!


    In fact, he, an Empyrean powerhouse, was unable to imagine just what Ye Yuan��s path of retreat was.


    Suddenly, he sucked in a deep breath and made the wisest decision in this life.


    ��Loneswan is willing to follow Master till death and absolutely not betray! If I violate this oath, Loneswan is willing to accept heaven��s punishment!�� Empyrean Loneswan said in a solemn voice.


    By the side, Yang Fei-er could not help being struck dumb with amazement.


    She felt that the scares that she suffered in this life were not as many as today.


    After Empyrean Loneswan knew about Ye Yuan��s real identity, he actually swore a Heavenly Dao Oath and said that he wanted to follow Ye Yuan?


    Was �� Was he crazy?


    ��Smart!�� Ye Yuan smiled faintly and threw two jade plates to Loneswan and Yang Fei-er respectively, saying coolly, ��In a while, if you encounter danger, just deploy divine essence and shatter the jade plates. It will naturally ensure your safety.��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s pupils constricted, thinking to himself that he indeed did not misjudge!


    It was just that, could this small piece of jade plate escape from under the noses of ten Empyreans?


    That Empyrean Windlike, Empyrean Redfeather, both were Third Firmament Empyrean powerhouses!


    �� ��


    An hour arrived in a flash. Inside Ice Cloud Tower, Feng Tianyang slowly opened both eyes and said coldly, ��Looks like he��s refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit! Looks like this Ji Qingyun hasn��t figured out who has the final say in this land of extreme north!��


    By the side, Ice Cloud said with a cold snort, ��That kid doesn��t have anyone in his eyes in the first place. He��s someone who won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! But �� logically speaking, Xiangyun should have also brought him back already. Could it be that Brother Loneswan stood in the way?��


    Feng Tianyang curled his mouth and said disdainfully, ��I think that this Loneswan is likely muddle-headed with age, to actually acknowledge a True God Realm as his master with the status of an Empyrean! Martial Uncle, let��s go over and take a look. If that Loneswan doesn��t know how to appreciate favors, we don��t mind sending him off!��


    Empyrean Windlike nodded slightly and slowly followed after.


    Seeing Feng Tianyang��s seethe with killing intent, Empyrean Ice Cloud was incomparably delighted in her heart.


    She had long found Ye Yuan and Loneswan displeasing to the eyes. This time, she could just nicely borrow a blade and kill people. Erasing these two people, Jiu Luo Ji would have peace and tranquility!


    The group of Empyreans and True Gods arrived at Grand Pill Establishment in a threatening manner but discovered that the hall had just experienced a great battle.


    While the Grand Pill Establishment was long already void of people.


    On the hall��s stone steps, Ye Yuan sat with his ankle on his knee, sitting on a wooden armchair, drinking wine calmly as the wine aroma overflowed.


    Empyrean Loneswan and Yang Fei-er two people were standing on the left and right in attendance.

 Chapter 2086 - Soul Planting Secret Art

    Feeling the bloody smell pervading in the air, Feng Tianyang��s gaze turned slightly cold.


    But he did not look at Ye Yuan but looked toward Empyrean Loneswan.


    ��Loneswan, you actually dared to kill He Xiangyun. Could it be that you want to become enemies with my Vast Wind Assemble?�� Feng Tianyang said coldly.


    In his view, it was simply impossible for Ye Yuan to kill He Xiangyun, unless Loneswan turned traitor.


    Loneswan shook his head lightly and said, ��She wasn��t killed by this Empyrean.��


    Feng Tianyang smiled coldly and said, ��Still want to quibble? Apart from you, who else can kill He Xiangyun here? Also, what��s the meaning of this, Junior Apprentice Sister Yang?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s two eyes narrowed and she said in a solemn voice, ��Fei-er, why haven��t you come over here!��


    Yang Fei-er looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud, those eyes were like looking at a stranger.


    ��Master, it��s Fei-er��s last time calling you like this. From today onward, Fei-er will be leaving Ice Cloud Tower.�� Yang Fei-er said coolly.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud Tower��s pupils constricted and she said in a cold voice, ��Treacherous disciple, do you know what you��re saying? Master nurtured you for so many years, but you actually want to break away from the Ice Cloud Tower? Fei-er, kill the person in front of you and return in front of Master. Master can take it as if nothing happened.��


    Talking toward the back, Empyrean Ice Cloud��s words gradually became gentle, like a benevolent mother.


    When Empyrean Ice Cloud was saying this, a light flashed in her eyes. A mysterious power transmitted out of her body, reaching Yang Fei-er.


    This power was extremely hidden, even the Empyrean powerhouses present were unable to detect it.


    It was just that Yang Fei-er was not moved at all as if she did not hear it at all.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s face changed, her voice becoming sharp as she said, ��Fei-er, Master is talking to you. Didn��t you hear?��


    At this time, the Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly smiled and said, ��Are you wondering why you used the divine soul mystic art, but Senior Apprentice Sister Fei-er didn��t listen to your orders?��


    When Empyrean Ice Cloud heard that, her heart jumped wildly.


    Her Soul Planting Secret Art was extremely hidden, how did this boy discover it?


    Furthermore, her secret art had never failed before, why would Yang Fei-er not listen to her orders?


    Empyrean Ice Cloud had a stomach full of doubts, but she was an old monster who had lived for several hundred thousand years in the end, she naturally would not reveal it easily.


    ��Stinking brat, at death��s door and you��re still spurting nonsense here. Do you believe that this Empyrean will tear your mouth right now?�� Empyrean Ice Cloud said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said with a faint smile, ��Unsavory history got dug out by me and turned angry from embarrassment? Huhu, using a divine soul mystic art to control your own disciples, a master like you really makes people��s hair stand on end!��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of all of Ice Cloud Tower��s disciples changed drastically.


    They looked towards Empyrean Ice Cloud with a look of terror, disbelief on their faces.


    Being planted with a divine soul mystic art was equivalent to being another person��s slave.


    As long as Empyrean Ice Cloud was willing, she could make them do anything.


    This kind of thing, any martial artist would not be willing.


    This kind of method, what difference was there between them and a bunch of pigs reared in pens?


    Even the other Empyreans also looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud with incredibly shocked gazes.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s eyes were icy-cold as she said in a frosty voice, ��Humph! Despicable little brute, want to use this kind of method to sow discord in the Ice Cloud Tower? Do you think that you have a chance to escape like this?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud laughed coldly. A powerful to the extreme ice law suddenly expanded out and a palm smacked over toward Ye Yuan.


    How fearsome was the palm of an Empyrean?


    But right at this time, Empyrean Loneswan similarly made his move.


    Bang!


    The two people exchanged a palm in the air, leveling Grand Pill Establishment to the ground.


    Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud, his gaze gradually becoming cold.


    When he treated Lu-er��s injuries, he was extra cautious and inspected Lu-er��s divine soul through the Soul Suppressing Pearl, only then, discovering an abnormality, and could not help breaking out into cold sweat from alarm.


    It turned out that this was Empyrean Ice Cloud��s true trump card!


    This kind of divine soul mystic art was extremely hidden, it was concealed within the Ice Cloud Tower��s cultivation method.


    When Ice Cloud Tower��s disciples cultivated this cultivation method, it would secretly leave behind Empyrean Ice Cloud��s divine soul imprints in their divine souls.


    As long as Empyrean Ice Cloud was willing, she could control these disciples through her divine soul imprints at any time.


    If not for Ye Yuan having a secret treasure like the Soul Suppressing Pearl, he would really not be able to discover it.


    With this trump card here, Empyrean Ice Cloud was not worried at all that Lu-er would not give in.


    It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud did not wish to arouse the disciples�� vigilance, coupled with that Feng Tianyang was currently in closed-seclusion and the time was not up yet, that was why she did not activate it.


    As for capturing him to threaten Lu-er, it would naturally be good if she got him, but it also did not matter if she did not.


    At that time, she just had to play a little trick in Lu-er��s divine soul, no one would discover it at all.


    It was just that Empyrean Ice Cloud exhausted every power of her brain and also did not think that her unnecessary move provoked a Ye Yuan.


    After Ye Yuan ferreted this out, he also felt lingering fear.


    If not for him being extra cautious, the consequences would be too terrible to imagine.


    At the same time, he also brimmed with killing intent.


    This Empyrean Ice Cloud deserved to be killed!


    After taking care of He Xiangyun earlier, Ye Yuan gave Yang Fei-er an inspection and indeed discovered that she was also planted with a divine soul imprint, and conveniently wiped it away for her.


    Otherwise, Yang Fei-er also would not have this attitude toward Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    ��Killing off witnesses, just based on you?�� Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Ice Cloud and said with a cold smile.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s expression flickered incessantly. Suddenly, she said to Feng Tianyang, ��Honorable Nephew Tianyang, this boy is spurting nonsense. Also don��t know where he sent Lu-er to. He truly deserves death!��


    Everyone��s hearts turned cold, aware that Empyrean Ice Cloud wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.


    Feng Tianyang��s gaze looked at Ye Yuan coldly and he said coolly, ��Kid, this young master give you a chance now. Hand Lu-er over, then kneel down and beg for mercy. This young master will let you become the Vast Wind Assemble��s grand protector, making your status even above Senior Xiao Yu��s!��


    In Feng Tianyang��s view, Ye Yuan was merely a trapped beast currently.


    He gave him a way out, he should be shedding tears of gratitude.


    Of course, he was eying Ye Yuan��s pill refining strength.


    Controlling such an alchemy genius in Vast Wind Assemble, in the future, after he corroborates his Dao as an Empyrean, it would also not be impossible for him to lead the Vast Wind Assemble and unify the land of extreme north.


    Feng Tianyang��s ambition was extremely great, even stronger than his father��s.


    In front of him, either submit or die!


    It was also precisely because so that even when these Empyreans saw him, they were also all very wary.


    It was a shame that he ran into Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Tianyang and shook his head, laughing in spite of himself as he said, ��A toad wanting to eat swan meat, overestimating your own ability! Just the likes of you are also fit to make me submit? Swaggering and blustering here, what you��re relying on are those Empyreans beside you, right?��


    Feng Tianyang burst out laughing and said, ��Kid, you think that because your Alchemy Dao is powerful, you can turn your nose up at other people? Alchemy Dao is ultimately a minor Dao. Martial Dao is the truly Great Dao that leads to heaven! Why would I, Feng Tianyang, rely on other people��s strength? Ji Qingyun, I know that you��re unconvinced, but you don��t need to goad me either, because you��re not qualified enough yet! Dealing with you, why would I need an Empyrean to take action? If you want to stand before me, beat them first before talking!��


    Feng Tianyang waved his hand, seven to eight young men walked to the front of the crowd.


    Immediately, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

 Chapter 2087 - This is Your Martial Dao?

    ��Wang Ning, Zhou Qianhui, Su Xinyu! My God, those �� those are all the various Empyreans�� head disciples!��


    ��It��s over this time, Master Ji is dead for sure! These head disciples, the weakest is also an initial-stage Ninth Firmament True God! How to fight?��


    ��Apart from He Xiangyun who had already died and Master Song Cao, Jiu Luo Ji��s young generations�� top experts are all gathered here.��


    �� ��


    There was a wave of exclamations all around. Clearly, this line-up gave them a fright.


    These head disciples were all very powerful existences even among Ninth Firmament True Gods. There was no problem at all crushing those in the same rank.


    Master Ji was still a little away from late-stage True God Realm, so how was he going to fight them?


    Feng Tianyang had a proud look as he turned to Loneswan and said coolly, ��Loneswan, the affairs of the younger generation will be left to us. You��d best not meddle in it. Otherwise �� don��t blame this Feng for not being courteous!��


    Empyrean Loneswan��s two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, ��Relax, this Empyrean won��t take action.��


    Wang Ning looked at Ye Yuan with a disdainful look and said coolly, ��Brother Feng, dealing with a trash like this, Wang Ning alone is more than enough. Why is there a need to mobilize everyone?��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��A trash like this? If I didn��t see wrongly, you recently consumed the Yi Qing Pill that I refined. That��s how you broke through to peak Ninth Firmament True God, right?��


    Wang Ning said coolly, ��So what? Didn��t you hear Brother Feng? Martial Dao is the Great Dao! In front of our martial prowess, you��re as fragile as an ant.��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he grinned and said, ��Very good! Looks like I��ve underestimated the northern people��s degree of shamelessness! Jiu Luo Ji��s Empyreans really made me have a completely new appraisal of them. The few of you, attack together then!��


    Ye Yuan could tell that these few people had all consumed the medicinal pills that he refined, their cultivations all having an overnight transformation.


    This kind of favor, Wang Ning actually summed it up in a few words and said it out simply. How shameless was it?


    Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills were hard to exchange for using money.


    Even if it was a tiny bit of improvement, it saved hundreds, even thousands of years for these people.


    ��Attack together? You haven��t gone delirious from fear, right?�� Wang Ning and the rest could not help laughing as they said.


    In their view, no matter how strong Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao was, it was merely becoming a wedding gown for others. How much strength could he have?


    Ye Yuan did not even reach the late-stage True God Realm, but he actually boasted shamelessly about wanting to fight one-on-seven. He was truly ignorant until it was laughable in their eyes.


    ��Huhu, looks like this punk is normally kept aloof from the masses and already forgot what��s called awe and veneration. Since that��s the case, let��s teach him,�� Su Xinyu said proudly with a faint smile.


    Finished talking, the seven people had amused looks on their faces as they sped over towards Ye Yuan.


    Regarding this kind of battle, they were all somewhat unconcerned.


    Too lacking of a challenge.


    It was just that they did not detect that an amused expression similarly showed on Empyrean Loneswan��s face.


    Ye Yuan and Feng Tianyang, who was more formidable, he did not know. But for Ye Yuan to dare let these people attack together, then he definitely thought nothing of them.


    These people were stronger than He Xiangyun, but they were also not much stronger.


    Ye Yuan suppressed He Xiangyun with a slap, he reckoned that dealing with them would also be a cinch.


    ��Brothers, play with him well!��


    Wang Ning said with a smile and already flashed behind Ye Yuan, his speed extremely fast.


    A hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he raised his hand to deal a palm.


    The others also all had amused expressions as if already seeing that panicky expression of Ye Yuan being toyed with.


    Talking about it was slow, but actually, Wang Ning��s speed was just a matter of a blink of an eye.


    However, just as this palm of his was about to land on Ye Yuan��s shoulder, Ye Yuan seemed to have grown eyes at his back, slightly leaning his body to one side, dodging it lightly.


    ��This is the Martial Dao that you spoke of? Claiming so solemnly about what Martial Dao, I was wondering how formidable you were. Truly disappointing,�� Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Wang Ning��s face instantly turned the color of pig liver.


    This time, it was a huge loss of face.


    ��Haha, Wang Ning, didn��t you say that you wanted to play with him? Why were you toyed around?�� Zhou Qianhui said with a big laugh.


    ��Wang Ning, can��t even take care of a middle-stage True God Realm! You��re really losing face for us, these head disciples!�� Su Xinyu said with a loud laugh.


    When the other head disciples saw the situation, they also ridiculed away.


    Among the few great chiefs, there were naturally secret competitions too.


    Seeing Wang Ning get deflated, they naturally could not dispense with a bout of sarcasm.


    It was only to see Wang Ning��s expression turning cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Just now was just a moment of carelessness, kid, don��t you get cocky!��


    ��Oh? Is that so?�� Ye Yuan stood with both hands behind his back, having a meaningful expression on his face.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Wang Ning immediately became angry from embarrassment and said in a great rage, ��Punk, you actually dare to underestimate me!��


    Wang Ning��s aura immediately rose to the peak. A strange but crafty sword stabbed over towards Ye Yuan.


    Whoosh!


    The speed of Wang Ning��s sword was extremely fast, practically arriving in an instant.


    It was just that Ye Yuan still leaned his body to one side slightly, and dodged it again lightly.


    ��Damn it, h-how did he do it? I don��t believe that I can��t even take care of a middle-stage True God Realm!��


    Wang Ning gritted his teeth, brandished his sword, and attacked again.


    It was just that no matter how hard he worked, he still could not touch the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves.


    He talked about playing with Ye Yuan, but the end result was being toyed with by Ye Yuan.


    In the beginning, everyone was all still mocking Wang Ning, feeling that this chief was too trash.


    But along with the passage of time, everyone could not laugh anymore.


    Once or twice could still say that it was lucky. But they were very clear about Wang Ning��s strength. No matter how lacking, it was also not to the point of being toyed in circles by a middle-stage True God Realm.


    Zhou Qianhui and the rest exchanged glances, all seeing shock from each other��s eyes.


    ��Attack together! This boy is strange!�� Zhou Qianhui said in a deep voice.


    Six great chiefs immediately used their means and rushed forward together.


    It was just that them joining the battle was still useless. No one could touch the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves at all.


    The seven people had a threatening manner, but no matter how hard they worked, they still could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    The more they fought, the more alarmed they got. The more they fought, the more shocked they became.


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was too bizarre, just like a loach, being unable to catch it at all.


    Far away, Feng Tianyang��s expression likewise became more and more serious.


    Ye Yuan��s move was clearly extremely brilliant spatial law.


    This kind of supreme law, comprehending even a little was tremendous luck. Ye Yuan clearly comprehended to an extremely high realm.


    Those few fools did not detect it at all.


    ��This �� Just what��s going on here? A Sixth Firmament True God is toying with seven Ninth Firmament True Gods in the palm of his hand?��


    ��Could it be that �� Master Ji isn��t just an alchemy master, he��s similarly a martial arts expert?��


    ��Too strong! Just don��t know if Master Ji has the means to retaliate or not!��


    �� ��


    A Sixth Firmament True God toying with seven Ninth Firmament True Gods, this scene was overly shocking, incurring a series of exclamations.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan would definitely be made fun of. Who knew that the result was totally the opposite.


    ��Huhu, this is your Martial Dao? Truly laughable, to actually not even be on par with me, this minor Dao��s alchemist. You guys also dare claim to be chief disciples?��


    High up in the sky, came Ye Yuan��s bantering laughter.


    Suddenly, a fearsome power of vitality soared to the sky. Everyone��s faces changed.


    ��Forget it, you all let me down too much, let��s end this game!��


    Ye Yuan��s lazy voice spread out nonchalantly.

 Chapter 2088 - Feng Tianyang’s Plans

    Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed. His power of vitality was actually on par with Eighth Firmament True Gods.


    It was only to see him dodging Wang Ning��s sword nimbly. He directly threw a fist over.


    Wang Ning only felt a horrifying power arrive with a howl behind him. But wanting to dodge was already too late.


    Bang!


    Amidst everyone��s frightened voices, Wang Ning was smashed into a cloud of blood mist.


    Universe Dragon Claw coupled with the perfect sixth transformation golden body, the power of Ye Yuan��s punch already did not lose to peak Ninth Firmament True Gods.


    How could Wang Ning be able to resist it?


    When the other chiefs saw this scene, their scalps could not help tingling. How could they still dare to deal with Ye Yuan? All running helter-skelter everywhere.


    ��Master, save me!��


    ��Save me, Master!��


    �� ��


    These chiefs seemed to be finding their family��s grownups after being bullied by people outside. There was even sobbing in their words.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan was easy to bully, but who knew that this was a desolate wild beast. Ye Yuan was not to be provoked at all.


    When Empyrean Redfeather and the rest saw the situation, they immediately shouted, ��Stop, Ji Qingyun!��


    At the same time, the few great Empyreans were about to take action.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was faster than them!


    After Ye Yuan killed Wang Ning, he did not have the intention of stopping at all.


    It was only to see one Ye Yuan suddenly become six, appearing in six directions at the same time.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    A series of detonations came from the sky. The six great chiefs were directly blasted into dregs!


    Everyone looked at this scene dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape, stunned looks on their faces.


    Especially the few great Empyreans, their hearts were dripping blood.


    These were all their successors, how much painstaking effort did they expend these few years?


    But now, Ye Yuan only used several breaths and killed all of them. How to make them accept this?


    However, they currently were even more shocked in their hearts!


    Ye Yuan exhibited extremely brilliant spatial law, far exceeding their imagination.


    In an instant, transformation into six clones, appearing at six venues at the same time, slaying six powerhouses.


    They all, these Empyreans, could naturally tell that this was not some cloning technique, but an extremely brilliant utilization of spatial law.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    Even they, these Empyrean powerhouses, could not do it too.


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right? Even if Master Ji is a body-refining powerhouse, it��s also not to the extent of being so strong, right? His one move killed six great Ninth Firmament True Gods!��


    ��Truly inconceivable! Master Ji already overpowered the extreme north��s Alchemy Path at a young age. Furthermore, he actually also has such horrifying strength in Martial Dao, how did he cultivate?��


    �� ��


    Everyone was long already dumbfounded from shock. They were stunned by Ye Yuan��s combat power.


    Originally thought that Ye Yuan was merely an alchemist, and that his combat power was limited.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan��s combat strength was off the charts, directly crossing a few minor realms and killing his enemies.


    Jiu Luo Ji��s most elite juniors actually did not even have the chance to escape from under his hands!


    ��Ji Qingyun, you killed my disciple! This Empyrean will definitely kill you today!�� Empyrean Redfeather said with a furious roar.


    The other Empyreans were also extremely alarmed and enraged. They were thoroughly enraged by Ye Yuan��s actions.


    However, Ye Yuan was very calm, looking toward Feng Tianyang with a smile that was not a smile. He then said, ��Looks like their Martial Dao isn��t worth mentioning at all. Don��t know whether your Martial Dao can stir up any of my interest or not.��


    Feng Tianyang��s two eyes narrowed slightly, brilliant light shining in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan��s performance greatly exceeded his expectations.


    Originally he thought that he could casually suppress Ye Yuan. He did not expect that the combat power Ye Yuan displayed was actually sufficient to pose a threat to him.


    ��Huhu, boy, you indeed made me very surprised. However, you still don��t have the qualifications to stand in front of me. Those people are similarly clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of this young master!��


    Feng Tianyang slowly stepped out, the aura on his body growing stronger and stronger. Everyone��s faces could not help changing.


    Someone cried out in surprise, ��What a powerful aura! This aura already reached the grand completion True God Realm. Just a step and he��ll be able to reach Empyrean Realm!��


    Feng Tianyang had a proud look and said with a faint smile, ��If you feel that after killing them, you have the qualifications to challenge me, then you��re gravely mistaken! I, Feng Tianyang, am destined to be the person who unifies the extreme north! How can I be compared to those kinds of trash?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, ��Is that so? You also said so just now, but they are all dead.��


    Feng Tianyang��s face turned cold and he said, ��Humph! This young master gives you a chance now, hand over Lu-er, or die!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, his words having an additional hint of coldness as he said, ��You want to marry Lu-er because you took fancy on her Profound Yin Physique?��


    Feng Tianyang was taken aback and said, ��How did you know? But it also doesn��t matter that you know. This young master is doing it for her Profound Yin Physique. This young master��s cultivation method has already reached major accomplishment, and my cultivation is already cultivated to the peak True God Realm as well. After this young master takes her Profound Yin Physique, I��ll be able to break through the shackles and become the youngest Empyrean powerhouse in this Northernmost Steppe!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, killing intent soared in his heart.


    Earlier, when Feng Tianyang released his world power, Ye Yuan could feel an extremely scorching power.


    This power was extremely strong as if it was a primitive behemoth.


    But Ye Yuan could detect that this power was not at grand completion.


    Amidst the power of extreme Yang, it was missing a trace of extreme Yin power.


    Ye Yuan��s understanding of Heavenly Dao was far from what ordinary people could compare to.


    Myriad life in this world had always mutually promoted and restrained each other. No matter how strong the power of extreme Yang, it ultimately had a limit too.


    Just based on this, even if give Feng Tianyang another 100 thousand years, he could also forget about stepping into Empyrean Realm.


    But, if he completed this missing piece, Feng Tianyang might be able to break through to Empyrean within a few years.


    How could it be that easy to search for this trace of extreme Yin power?


    But Lu-er��s appearance made Feng Tianyang see hope!


    Hence, he had been in closed-seclusion all the way these few years, finally cultivating to be a grand completion True God. Then after coming out and taking Lu-er��s extreme Yin power, he would be able to break through to be an Empyrean smoothly.


    It was just that while he planned things out well, he ran into Ye Yuan, this unexpected variable.


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��You �� deserve death!��


    Feng Tianyang��s actions already touched Ye Yuan��s bottom-line.


    Lu-er was Ye Yuan��s reverse scale; touch and die!


    Feng Tianyang laughed loudly and said, ��Letting this young master corroborate my Dao as an Empyrean, that��s her honor! Where is she?! Hand her over, and this young master can spare you from death!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Tianyang and said with a mocking look, ��You talk so much. Didn��t you think why I took Lu-er away?��


    Feng Tianyang��s expression turned dark and said, ��I don��t care who you are! Not handing Lu-er over, you��ll have to die!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Stop making futile efforts. Lu-er isn��t in Jiu Luo Ji anymore. Also, my name is actually Ye Yuan.��


    Feng Tianyang was clearly unfamiliar with this name. But when Empyrean Ice Cloud heard this name, her expression could not help changing wildly.


    ��Y-You��re Ye Yuan? How is this possible?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud was the same as Empyrean Loneswan, instantly thinking of many things.


    It was also precise because of this that she was extremely shocked in her heart.


    It turned out that all of these were his schemes!


    And she, an Empyrean powerhouse who dominated a region, fell into the scheme step by step under Ye Yuan��s towing. She even personally delivered Lu-er to Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Feng Tianyang��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who is he?��

 Chapter 2089 - Extreme North’s Number One Person

    ��H-He��s the person that Lu-er is in love with!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud said bitterly.


    Feng Tianyang was also a clever person and thought of many things in an instant.


    In this one year plus, Ji Qingyun��s name echoed throughout the extreme north. Feng Tianyang naturally heard a lot after leaving seclusion.


    It was just that he also did not expect that Ye Yuan doing so much was actually for Lu-er.


    ��Heh heh, what a grand scheme! Boy, you really made me see you in a different light! However, to dare snatch my, Feng Tianyang��s woman, you must die today!��


    Feng Tianyang laughed coldly, a roaring flame suddenly bursting out from his body.


    ��Limitless Fire Hell!��


    Feng Tianyang held his palm out, the entire region of space was completely enveloped by the flames, directly shrouding Ye Yuan inside it.


    Everyone��s faces changed, this ball of fire hell was like a blazing sun.


    Even if they were so far away, they also had a feeling of being incinerated. What kind of situation would it be for the Ye Yuan situated inside the fire hell?


    ��Indeed well-deserving of being the extreme north��s number one person, Feng Tianyang��s Heaven Burning Secret Art has probably cultivated to sublimity already.��


    ��Even if Master Ji has the ability to reach the highest heaven, he probably can��t escape this Limitless Fire Hell too.��


    ��A shame, such a powerful alchemy master died just like this.��


    �� ��


    Many people shook their heads and sighed, lamenting for Ye Yuan.


    In their view, Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Feng Tianyang��s mouth, and he said disdainfully, ��This Limitless Fire Hell of mine can incinerate limitless void. Even if you grasp spatial law, how can you escape?��


    ��Oh? Is that so?��


    The voice had yet to fade when a figure walked out of that limitless flames leisurely and at ease. It was as if that limitless sea of fire was his own backyard.


    Who was this person if not Ye Yuan?


    Feng Tianyang��s face changed and he said, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��You overestimated your flame law and also looked down on spatial law too much. Incinerating limitless void? Huhu, how can it be as easy as you think? Only a person like you who doesn��t understand space dare to say this kind of words.��


    The more he studied spatial law, the more Ye Yuan felt the extensive and profoundness of spatial law.


    The Dao of Space was one of this world��s most primitive laws. How could it be defeated so easily?


    True God Realm powerhouses used spatial law to shuttle through the void, but that was merely the most superficial application of spatial law.


    Comprehending spatial law to Ye Yuan��s degree, one could not find more than a few in the entire Heavenspan World.


    Feng Tianyang judged others using his own strength, so how could he understand Ye Yuan��s might?


    Unless Feng Tianyang could cultivate spatial law to Ye Yuan��s level, or cultivate flame law to Empyrean-level, then there would be a possibility of hurting Ye Yuan.


    Just with this current level, how could it threaten Ye Yuan?


    Feng Tianyang��s face fell slightly and he said coldly, ��Humph! Being deliberately mystifying! I underestimated you. I��ll let you take a look at my true strength then!��


    It was only to see his gaze turned sharp, another aura rose to the sky.


    ��Wind-attribute law! This is Empyrean Vast Wind��s specialty!��


    Everyone was still in the midst of exclaiming when a third power of law spread out.


    This time, even Ye Yuan��s gaze also revealed some solemness.


    ��Ice law! I didn��t expect that Feng Tianyang is actually such a peerless talent, to actually fuse three kinds of power of law. No wonder he��s so arrogant. He indeed has the capital to be wildly arrogant!�� Empyrean Redfeather exclaimed with admiration.


    That was right. He did not comprehend three kinds of laws. But he actually fused three kinds of power of law!


    It was only to see that on Feng Tianyang��s body, the power of flames, power of the fierce gale, and power of ice, intertwining together. Clearly, it was the manifestation of three power of laws fusing together.


    Law comprehension like his could virtually sweep across those in the same rank already.


    There was a wave of exclamations all around. Everyone said that Feng Tianyang was the extreme north��s number one person. Previously, everyone all felt that this was him relying on his father��s prestige. Only now, did they know that that was him relying on his own strength!


    Those who fused two power of laws were already called geniuses among geniuses.


    Those who fused three power of laws could no longer be described using genius.


    That was a peerless talent!


    Fusing three power of laws was not what Lu Ziyi��s five power of laws could compare to.


    With Feng Tianyang��s strength, he could probably pummel Lu Ziyi with just one hand.


    Feng Tianyang looked at Ye Yuan with a proud look and said with a cold smile, ��To be able to force my full strength out, you can be sufficiently proud! I fused three power of laws and have never met a match in the same rank. Now, I stepped into grand completion True God Realm. I��m the number one person under Empyrean! Ye Yuan, this is my Martial Dao. Do you think �� I have the qualifications to say this?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This is your full strength? Uh �� not bad, it��s just don��t know if you can force my full strength out or not, bring it on.��


    Feng Tianyang snorted coldly and said disdainfully, ��Reckless and blind fool, I want to see what your full strength is!��


    Done talking, Feng Tianyang��s figure moved, arriving in an instant!


    Three power of laws fused into one, his fist was momentous and tidal-like, virtually about to rent the sky asunder and split the earth open.


    Even the group of Empyreans also had slight changes in countenance at this time.


    This kind of commotion, once Feng Tianyang stepped into Empyrean Realm, he could probably crush all of them instantly!


    Only a Third Firmament Empyrean like Empyrean Redfeather had the qualifications to firmly suppress him.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan��s vital energy also rose to the peak and was even stronger than just now.


    Bang!


    Above the void, the two people exchanged a punch.


    Horrifying energy undulation spread out, giving people a feeling of Mt. Tai crushing down from above.


    Under the one punch, Ye Yuan��s figure flew out backward, a mouthful of fresh blood spurting out wildly.


    Feng Tianyang laughed loudly and said, ��To be able to receive this punch of mine, you can be sufficiently proud. However, you��re still hard-pressed to escape death today! Again!��


    Finished talking, he did not wait for Ye Yuan to catch his breath either, another punch slamming over.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One loud boom after another came over. The two people��s battle was practically about to shatter the sky.


    The void trembled, making the starry river flowing in reverse.


    This kind of battle practically already surpassed the limits of True God Realm.


    This was a fight of another level.


    ��So strong! The two of them are both so strong! Truly unable to imagine how the two of them cultivate!��


    ��What a shame. Ye Yuan almost can��t hold on anymore. He��s still too young, give him another few hundred years, he should be able to win Feng Tianyang.��


    ��There are no ifs in life; lose means lose. But considering Ye Yuan��s talent, it��s indeed a shame.��


    �� ��


    Below, there was a series of exclamations.


    The two people��s combat strength far exceeded their imaginations.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was repeatedly forced back under Feng Tianyang��s pressuring, and already could not quite hold out anymore.


    The outcome of this fight was obvious already.


    Feng Tianyang��s aura was too outrageous. For Ye Yuan to be able to last until now under his fierce attacks, it was already rather valiant.


    Bang!


    Right at this time, a loud bang came over. Ye Yuan��s figure drew a straight line and fell into the earth.


    ��Sigh, Ye Yuan is defeated!�� A wave of bemoaning came from the crowd.


    Feng Tianyang stood in the air, akin to a god of war.


    ��Hahaha, in the junior generation, you��re the first to be able to fight with me to this extent! Now, you can go to hell!��


    Feng Tianyang��s figure similarly cut across the horizon, heading toward that huge pit in the ground.

 Chapter 2090 - True Sword Hollow Etch

    Bang!


    Feng Tianyang arrived fast, but he was blasted back even quicker!


    Everyone was dumbfounded, uncertain what it meant.


    What happened?


    They completely did not detect any trace of undulation and Feng Tianyang was blasted flying.


    It was as if Feng Tianyang ran into a wall and was directly rebounded back.


    This scene was extremely puzzling.


    Inside the pit, Ye Yuan carried the bone sword and slowly walked out, with a desolate killing aura on his body.


    ��Very good! To be able to force out my full strength, you can be sufficiently proud!�� Ye Yuan looked at Feng Tianyang and said coolly.


    He stood there, giving people a very lofty feeling, just like a sharp sword that was sheathed, accumulating momentum and awaiting release.


    ��T-This is sword intent! What a swift and fierce sword intent! He fused a supreme law and the Sword Dao law! This �� How is this possible?��


    Empyrean Windlike had been standing there calmly all along. Even when he saw that Ye Yuan comprehended spatial law, he was also not the least bit moved.


    Because he knew that Feng Tianyang would definitely win.


    But at this time, a look of surprise finally showed on his face.


    Comprehending spatial law was nothing, but fusing Sword Dao law and spatial law, that was incredible.


    The difficulty level was much harder than even fusing three powers of law!


    Supreme law, just comprehending it required immense talent. Ordinary people could not even learn the rudiments, let alone talk about fusing the power of law.


    ��Just how in the world did this kid cultivate? His alchemy talent crushed Seven-star Alchemy Gods, but he��s actually also heavenly-defying in martial arts!�� Empyrean Redfeather exclaimed with admiration.


    ��Just now was him striking Feng Tianyang flying? But I didn��t detect Sword Dao undulations at all!�� Another Empyrean cried out in surprise.


    An attack that could not be seen was the scariest.


    The group of Empyreans already did not know how to describe their emotions. Originally they thought that one Feng Tianyang was already monstrous enough. They did not expect that Ye Yuan��s talent was even more monstrous than Feng Tianyang��s.


    ��This �� Brother Windlike, Honorable Nephew Tianyang will be fine, right? Why not, we��d better take action,�� Empyrean Ice Cloud said worriedly.


    Empyrean Windlike shook his head and said, ��Relax, just now was just Tianyang��s momentary carelessness. Furthermore, he still has an ultimate move that he hasn��t used. Tianyang won��t lose! Although this boy��s talent is high, his cultivation realm is inferior to Tianyang��s in the end.��


    The moment the group of Empyreans heard this, they immediately felt greatly reassured.


    The current Feng Tianyang had disheveled hair, numerous wounds on his body, in a sorry state. How was there still that lofty bearing from before?


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You dared to hurt me! I��ll definitely tear you to shreds! Ye Yuan, this finger is the strongest attack that I created after fusing three laws! For you to be able to die under this attack, you can be sufficiently proud!��


    Feng Tianyang roared and pointed a finger out fiercely. Fine cracks actually appeared in space, it could be seen how horrifying this finger was.


    If this finger were to land on a person��s body, it could probably directly annihilate them.


    ��Space Shattering Finger!��


    Empyrean Windlike��s face revealed a hint of a praising smile as he said, ��Fusing laws is one aspect, application of laws is another aspect. Tianyang��s understanding of these three laws is extremely profound and already carved out a Great Dao that belongs to him. Maybe he can surpass Big Brother in the future and become a once in a blue moon Heavenly Emperor powerhouse of this land of extreme north in several hundred thousand years! This finger, even if a First Firmament Empyrean took it, it would likely be the outcome of serious injuries too.��


    When everyone heard that, their faces all changed.


    They did not expect that Feng Tianyang was actually so monstrous.


    The strike of a Ninth Firmament True God could actually harm an Empyrean. What kind of terrifying offensive power was this?


    How strong was an Empyrean?


    Even if one stood there and let a grand completion True God Realm hit them, it would also be hard to injure them in the slightest.


    These were powerhouses of two different levels. It was two different levels of understanding toward Heavenly Dao.


    But Feng Tianyang��s finger could actually seriously injure an Empyrean. It could be seen how terrifying this attack was.


    Of course, being able to harm an Empyrean was one thing. An Empyrean powerhouse naturally would not stand there stupidly and let Feng Tianyang hit.


    The Empyreans could not help looking over toward Ye Yuan with pity. Encountering such an opponent was his sorrow!


    ��Mn? He �� He��s actually smiling?��


    The Empyreans discovered that a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, and could not help being very surprised.


    At this time, he actually still had the mood to smile.


    Ice Cloud sneered and said, ��Probably scared silly, right!��


    ��A little interesting!��


    Ye Yuan slowly raised his sword and calmly stabbed a sword out.


    This sword was too sloppy and ordinary, without any power to speak of.


    Compared to Feng Tianyang��s show of strength that billowed to the sky, Ye Yuan��s sword art did not have any aesthetic sense at all.


    It looked like Ye Yuan was a martial artist who did not know how to use the sword at all.


    Except, if Song Yu and the rest of the people who had been to the Ancient God Battlefield before were here, they would know that Ye Yuan��s sword actually followed the exact same pattern as that Empyrean bone devil!


    ��What is he doing? Can this kind of sword hurt people?��


    Empyrean Windlike furrowed his brows. He completely could not tell what impressive aspect Ye Yuan��s sword had. But he kept feeling in his heart that there was that tiny hint of something amiss.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud laughed coldly and said, ��Of course it can��t hurt anyone. That��s why this Empyrean said that he��s scared silly.��


    People who did not know the inside story were all mocking Ye Yuan��s sword, saying that he was a mantis blocking the cart. Feng Tianyang was similarly like so.


    He laughed wildly and said, ��Haha, you��re relying on this sword to handle me? Go to hell then!��


    At this time, the Space Shattering Finger was already formed. He pointed over toward Ye Yuan fiercely.


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    Ye Yuan lightly spat these four words out of his mouth.


    This move was still Sword Hollow Etch.


    But he was inspired by the Empyrean bone devil and already completely mastered restraining the power.


    Sword Hollow Etch��s power also reached the extreme and did not leak out in the slightest, reaching the realm of returning to one��s original simplicity.


    Hence, he named it True Sword Hollow Etch.


    Right at this time, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across in Empyrean Windlike��s mind, thinking of something.


    Just now, when Feng Tianyang was suddenly blasted out backward, wasn��t there no undulations at all?


    Could it be that �� this boy condensed his power to the limits and did not leak any of it out?


    Could this kind of thing really be done?


    ��Not good! Tianyang, quickly retreat!��


    Empyrean Windlike yelled out, his figure suddenly moving, speeding over towards the two people��s battlefield.


    But sadly, it was already too late.


    One bright and one dark, two attacks, collided together in midair fiercely, rending the void apart.


    This kind of collision could be described using move mountains and fill the seas, making mountains and rivers flow in reverse. It was not the least bit over the top.


    Everyone looked at this scene in great shock. Their brains had not processed it yet. Why would Ye Yuan��s sloppy and ordinary sword have such terrifying power?


    Ye Yuan��s Sword Hollow Etch was an incomparably swift and fierce strike in the first place.


    Now that his retraining of power had reached major accomplishment, the power of Sword Hollow Etch was compressed to the extreme, without any leakage. The power became several times greater.


    Such a terrifying attack, it was hard for even Space Shattering Finger to withstand too.


    Feng Tianyang did not even get to groan and was directly annihilated.


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    ��Why �� Why is it like this?��


    ��The one dead is actually Feng Tianyang?��


    ��Just what kind of sword is this? Why would it have such terrifying power?��


    �� ��

 Chapter 2091 - Heaven Shocking Lightning

    Seeing Ye Yuan put away the bone sword calmly, Empyrean Windlike��s two eyes were practically spewing fire.


    Vast Wind Assemble��s future was actually killed just like that, right under his eyelids.


    He thought that by relying on his Empyrean might, it was absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen. Ye Yuan also would not dare to kill him right in his face.


    But Ye Yuan killed him just like that.


    ��Punk, you��ve got guts!�� Empyrean Windlike gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Feng Tianyang coveted Lu-er��s Profound Yin Divine Physique. He deserved to die!��


    If Feng Tianyang just took fancy on Lu-er��s beauty, Ye Yuan also would not have his killing intent aroused.


    After all, everyone loved beautiful things. Ye Yuan would not go so far as to be so crazy, killing off anyone who took fancy on the people around him.


    But Feng Tianyang never should have had designs on Lu-er��s divine physique.


    If Feng Tianyang took Lu-er��s Profound Yin Divine Physique, Lu-er would become a cripple if minor, or kick the bucket if it was serious.


    How could Ye Yuan tolerate this kind of thing?


    ��Good, good, good! Today, if I, Windlike, don��t kill you, I��m not human!�� Empyrean Windlike was already furious to the extreme, his body emitting an outrageous aura.


    Feng Tianyang was the extreme north��s future master, was the Vast Wind Assemble��s future.


    Now, he was actually dead!


    Empyrean Windlike��s fury could be imagined.


    ��What a terrific little brute, you dared to kill Honorable Nephew Tianyang, it��s becoming enemies with the entire land of extreme north! Today, this Empyrean will definitely kill you!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud immediately jumped out and said.


    ��Little Friend Ye Yuan, you went overboard in this matter! Today, you must stay here! This Empyrean won��t sit by idly and remain indifferent too!�� Empyrean Redfeather also said.


    With Feng Tianyang dying at Jiu Luo Ji, it would be hard for them all, these people, to absolve themselves from the blame.


    Once Empyrean Vast Wind investigated it, they would not be able to bear the consequences.


    Hence, their attitude must be shown right now.


    The other Empyreans also spoke up, wanting to capture Ye Yuan one after another.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile, ��Kill me? Heh heh, today��s matters aren��t over yet! The injustice that Lu-er suffered these few years, this Ye will claim it back for her today all at once! Today, this Ye will exterminate your Ice Cloud Tower down to the last person!��


    Ye Yuan staying behind was not for bravery or to fight.


    When he found out the problem in Lu-er��s cultivation method, he had killing intent aroused toward Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    Furthermore, in this Ice Cloud Tower, the ones who bullied Lu-er normally were not in the minority.


    To Ye Yuan, Ice Cloud Tower already did not have the need to exist anymore.


    It was just that these words sounded overly conceited in other people��s ears.


    ��Hahaha, you want to kill this Empyrean? Kid, I admit that you��re very strong, but you, a mere True God Realm, want to kill an Empyrean?�� When Empyrean Ice Cloud heard that, she burst out laughing.


    Everyone all shook their heads one after another, feeling that Ye Yuan was too ignorant.


    He was indeed peerlessly talented. But wanting to kill an Empyrean, he was clearly not qualified enough yet.


    In theory, that sword of Ye Yuan��s was sufficient to threaten Empyrean powerhouses.


    It was just that these Empyreans were not fools either. Would they stand there and let Ye Yuan kill?


    Moreover, that kind of horrifying sword, the consumption would definitely be tremendous. How many swords could Ye Yuan unleash?


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly, a dark metal ball suddenly appearing in his hand.


    ��This thing was originally my final trump card, I didn��t want to use it easily. But today, in order to kill you, I can only use it.�� When Ye Yuan was talking, he had a look of reluctance to part.


    ��Hahaha �� haha �� ha!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud��s laughter gradually ceased, the expression on her face becoming extremely fascinating.


    Not just her, after the other Empyreans saw that black ball, each and every one of their expressions became incomparably solemn.


    Even Empyrean Windlike, the fury on his face also diminished considerably. At this time, there was more alarm and fear!


    Clearly, he feared this black ball like a tiger.


    ��Heaven Shocking Lightning! This �� This is heavenly emperor level Heaven Shocking Lightning! You �� Why would you have this sort of thing?�� Empyrean Ice Cloud cried out strangely. How was there still any of the former composure?


    Currently, alarm and terror were written all over her face.


    And the other Empyreans also unconsciously pulled apart the distance from her.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Turns out that you all recognize this thing huh? Then I don��t need to do any explanations. Mn, just now, weren��t you all very fierce, wanting to uphold justice for Feng Tianyang��s death? That��s okay; I don��t mind. I welcome you all to come to find me to demand justice any time.��


    All of the Empyrean��s faces turned black, nearly fainting in anger.


    Demand justice my a*s! That��s Heaven Shocking Lightning!


    Heavenly Emperor level Heaven Shocking Lightning!


    Heaven Shocking Lightning was a one-time consumable. Inside sealed the power of a certain powerhouse��s one attack.


    Once opened, it would be equivalent to that powerhouse��s all-out attack.


    And Heaven Shocking Lightning had many different colors. Among them, the highest grade of Heaven Shocking Lightning was black, and it was refined with special methods. It was extremely hard to come across.


    What was sealed inside was naturally the attack of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    If it was an empyrean level Heaven Shocking Lightning, everyone would not be at the extent of being so fearful.


    After all, it was just the power of one strike. Furthermore, it was not executed by the caster themselves.


    But, heavenly emperor level Heaven Shocking Lightning, how horrifying was the power?


    This kind of Heaven Shocking Lightning, the materials required were extremely hard to come by. It was normally hard to chance upon.


    Yet, Ye Yuan had one in his hands!


    This was a deadly object!


    Once Ye Yuan released the Heaven Shocking Lightning here, probably none of them, these Empyrean powerhouses, could survive!


    The attack of a Heavenly Emperor shocked the heavens and earth!


    In front of a Heavenly Emperor, all were ants!


    This Heaven Shocking Lightning was obtained by Ye Yuan inside the Ancient God Battlefield��s Heavenly Emperor Crape Myrtle��s cave. Originally, it was used as his final trump card, to preserve his life.


    Even when 100 thousand people besieged Heavenly Eagle back then, he also never used it.


    But today, for Lu-er��s sake, he decided to use it.


    This Empyrean Ice Cloud��s thoughts were extremely wicked. Not killing her, it was hard for Ye Yuan to dispel the hatred in his heart.


    Thinking about everything that Ye Yuan suffered in these 1000 years, Ye Yuan��s heart ached faintly.


    The Empyrean Windlike who was still clamoring about taking revenge just now, his expression was currently deathly white, without any imposing momentum at all.


    Right now, Ye Yuan��s spearhead was clearly targeting Empyrean Ice Cloud. He did not wish to anger Ye Yuan and make Ye Yuan turn the spearhead to deal with him.


    How could his fragile body bear it?


    ��Y-Ye Yuan, misunderstanding! It��s all a misunderstanding! You look, in any case, this Empyrean has also brought Lu-er up for so many years and imparted to her cultivation methods.�� Empyrean Ice Cloud broke out in cold sweat, racking her brain to think of a plan to escape.


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, ��Misunderstanding? Huhu! Lu-er has followed me since young, and I couldn��t even bear to hit her once. You count for yourself, how much hardship has she suffered since she arrived at Ice Cloud Tower? Furthermore, in your eyes, she��s probably just a cultivation tool, right? Now, you��re telling me that it��s a misunderstanding?��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud discovered that this Ye Yuan was too smart as if he was an old thing that had experienced many vicissitudes of life. How was he like a young man?


    This kind of inferior quibbling had no way of fooling him at all.


    Hence, she gritted her teeth and said in a stern voice, ��Glazed Frost Grand Art, absorb for me!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    Those Ice Cloud Tower disciples all cried out miserably.


    The divine essence in their bodies actually broke out of their bodies frenziedly, swarming over toward Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    And Empyrean Ice Cloud��s aura was currently rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 Chapter 2092: - Heaven-Rank Secret Order

    Initial-stage Third Firmament Empyrean!


    Middle-stage Third Firmament Empyrean!


    Late-stage Third Firmament Empyrean!


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s aura increased steadily, directly breaking through the fetters of Second Firmament Empyrean, reaching peak Third Firmament Empyrean.


    And this was not over!


    Her aura was still rising, heading straight for Fourth Firmament Empyrean.


    The realm that originally needed year after year before she could break through was actually not the slightest bit stagnant at this moment.


    However, those Ice Cloud Tower disciples were all sucked into dry corpses, the method extremely cruel.


    Even when Yang Fei-er saw this scene, her face also turned pale.


    These junior apprentice sisters and martial nieces that had lived with her for many years passed away just like that, without even a trace of strength to resist.


    She could not help looking toward Ye Yuan. If not for this man, she would probably also be the same as them now, right?


    The other Empyreans also stared at Empyrean Ice Cloud in immense shock, being stunned by this scene.


    No one could have thought that she actually concealed such means.


    It turned out that Empyrean Ice Cloud was the ambitious schemer hidden among them.


    Ye Yuan��s sudden appearance clearly disrupted Empyrean Ice Cloud��s plans.


    Otherwise, come one day in the future, when Empyrean Ice Cloud devoured all of her disciples in one go, she would likely be able to directly become the extreme north��s number one person!


    Even if Empyrean Vast Wind came, he might not be able to suppress her too.


    At the thought of this, everyone was horrified.


    To be able to use such cruel means to equip herself, the Northernmost Steppe would probably immediately be plunged into darkness under this woman��s rule.


    In virtually an instant, Empyrean Ice Cloud��s aura rose to Fifth Firmament Empyrean!


    Empyrean Vast Wind not moving out, there were really few existences that could be found in this land of extreme north that could do anything to her.


    Even Empyrean Windlike was weaker than her.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud stood in the air, her white fairy dress fluttering away. Glaring at Ye Yuan, she said ferociously, ��Brat, you forced my hand! The two of our debts have to be squared!��


    Finished talking, Empyrean Ice Cloud took a step out and directly concealed inside the void.


    The other people were all dumbfounded and tongue-tied, gazes casting toward Ye Yuan one after another.


    They were afraid, afraid that Ye Yuan would use the Heaven Shocking Lightning on them.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and similarly took a step out, entering the void.


    Seeing Ye Yuan left, everyone all heaved a long sigh in relief.


    Finally sent this plague god away!


    ��Brother Windlike, this ���� Empyrean Redfeather said with a hesitant look.


    Empyrean Windlike gave a cold snort and said, ��This matter isn��t over so easily! Humph! After he uses that Heaven Shocking Lightning, I want to see what methods he still has to be cocky with us! Tianyang��s matter, I��m afraid that Big Brother already knows. At this time, he is probably already on the way.��


    Perhaps feeling being at the mercy of a True God earlier was overly humiliating, he was a little loud when speaking. Everyone present could hear it clearly.


    Empyrean Redfeather and the rest nodded slightly, clearly having long predicted that this matter would not be left at this.


    Feng Tianyang was too monstrous, but such a monster died at Jiu Luo Ji. If there was no explanation for this matter, Empyrean Vast Wind would probably turn the entire Northernmost Steppe upside down.


    �� ��


    A little while ago, inside a dark space of Vast Wind Assemble, a stalwart figure was currently sitting down cross-legged.


    Behind him, several colored lanterns were suspended in the air.


    These were all the lifeblood soul lamps of the Vast Wind Assemble��s important people.


    Suddenly, one of the colored lanterns gave off an intense tremor, then shattered with a crack.


    That big and tall figure suddenly opened both eyes, his gaze cold and gloomy, like a bottomless abyss.


    ��This Empyrean gave Tianyang several life-preserving divine abilities. Even when facing Empyrean powerhouses, he should be able to escape with his life! Furthermore, there��s Windlike accompanying him on this trip. So who could kill Tianyang in front of Windlike?��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s brows were tightly knitted, full of puzzlement.


    He regarded Feng Tianyang extremely highly. Although he normally trained Feng Tianyang a lot, he also gave Feng Tianyang quite a lot of life-preserving divine abilities.


    With these divine abilities around, even if facing an Empyrean powerhouse and Feng Tianyang could not beat him, he could still escape with his life.


    For so many years, those divine abilities also let Feng Tianyang tide over perilous situations, turning dangers into safety time after time.


    Let alone that this time was just marrying a girl. Furthermore, there was also Empyrean Windlike accompanying him.


    In Empyrean Vast Wind��s view, there was no danger at all.


    Yet, this time, Feng Tianyang died!


    This son that he pinned high hopes on was dead!


    Empyrean Vast Wind did not know that Feng Tianyang did not have time to use life-preserving divine abilities at all and was directly killed by Ye Yuan��s Sword Hollow Etch.


    Having lived for no idea how many tens of thousands of years, Empyrean Vast Wind had long already cultivated until he had no joy nor sorrow.


    It was just that currently at his glabella, that thunderous rage hidden in the depths of his heart could be seen.


    ��Humph! No matter who it is, to dare kill Tianyang, even if this Empyrean goes up to the ninth heaven and below the earth, I��ll also tear you to pieces! Not pulling your divine soul out and refining it for 100 thousand years, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in this Empyrean��s heart.��


    Finished saying, Empyrean Vast Wind pointed at the void. Several dozen streams of light directly tore through the void and left.


    After 15 minutes, Vast Wind Assemble was in an uproar.


    Several dozen powerful auras gathered in the sky above Vast Wind Assemble, virtually making the entire territory asphyxiated.


    ��Isn��t that Ling Yu Assemble��s Empyrean Shen Luo? That��s a Fifth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse! Why would he appear here?��


    ��Also, that��s Hedong Assemble��s Empyrean Shi Mie!��


    ��That��s Ironwood Assemble��s Empyrean Ge Yun!��


    ��What in the world is happening, practically half of the Northernmost Steppe��s Empyrean powerhouses have gathered at our here.��


    �� ��


    In Vast Wind Assemble, people who had the knowledge noticed that all of these Empyreans that normally did not show themselves to the public were now there.


    Each one of them was a super powerhouse whose names shook a region.


    But now, all of them were gathered in Vast Wind Assemble.


    Even a fool also knew that something big was about to happen.


    Empyrean Shen Luo was in front and said to Empyrean Vast Wind with clasped hands, ��Brother Vast Wind, I wonder what happened? You actually want to use the heaven-rank secret order? The last time it was used, it was when the demon race��s nine great sovereigns arrived together!��


    The other Empyreans also had blank faces, not knowing what happened.


    This heaven-rank secret order was the secret order that Empyrean Vast Wind commanded the extreme north with.


    Normally, not reaching a life and death juncture, it would not be used.


    Now, they received the heaven-rank secret order under the circumstances where they did not receive any danger alerts.


    Empyrean Vast Wind had a calm expression, devoid of joy and sorrow as he opened his mouth and said coolly, ��Wait, there are still a few that haven��t arrived.��


    The other Empyreans exchanged glances, but no one dared to say anything.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s prestige was not established through words but carved out with real swords and spears.


    People should not look at how these Empyreans were all powerful. In reality, they were very fearful of Empyrean Vast Wind.


    Before long, the void trembled and three figures slowly stepped out.


    When the Empyreans saw this scene, their pupils could not help constricting.


    ��Empyrean Tian Jue!��


    ��Empyrean Mie Yu!��


    ��Empyrean Zhen Huang!��


    ��These three are all existences that aren��t weaker than Empyrean Vast Wind! They actually came too! Looks like something big is really going to happen.��

 Chapter 2093 - Heavenly Emperor’s Strike!

    ��Vast Wind, you issued the heaven-rank secret order to call us here. If there isn��t anything special, you��ll need to give me an account!��


    Empyrean Tian Jue looked at Empyrean Vast Wind and said those words with a cold smile on his face.


    Clearly, he did not really have respect for Empyrean Vast Wind.


    Empyrean Tian Jue and the two great Empyreans were slightly weaker than Empyrean Vast Wind in terms of strength. But if they really fought, Empyrean Tian Jue three people also would not be that much weaker.


    Hence, even though they treated Empyrean Vast Wind as their common lord, they actually did not really have respect for him.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s two eyes narrowed, and he said coolly, ��My son, Feng Tianyang, has perished. Inviting everyone here is to request for everybody to take action together and block off this hunt. After the matter is done, this Empyrean will naturally repay generously.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed.


    Feng Tianyang was known as the young generation��s number one person. Once he stepped into Empyrean in the future, he would be the extreme north��s common lord.


    But now, he died?


    Tian Jue and the rest were wildly elated in their hearts when they heard that. But in front of Empyrean Vast Wind, they could not express it and just said with a loud laugh, ��Vast Wind, what has your son dying got to do with us? Isn��t it too rash for you to send out the heaven-rank secret order arbitrarily?��


    ��Vast Wind, you��re too unbridled! The heaven-rank secret order is the highest secret order that we��ve agreed upon. You actually gathered all of us here for this. What evil motives do you have?�� Empyrean Mie Yu said in a cold voice.


    ��Humph! Vast Wind, if you don��t give us an explanation today, this matter isn��t over!�� Empyrean Zhen Huang said unhappily.


    While the three great supreme Empyreans dealing with Empyrean Vast Wind in unison, the other Empyreans were all silent like cicadas in winter.


    The scene was already going out of control.


    Many Empyreans were gloating over others�� misfortune, waiting to watch Empyrean Vast Wind��s good show.


    After all, even though Empyrean Vast Wind was formidable, he was not formidable to the extent of truly unifying the extreme north.


    Summoning the group of Empyreans here for his son, everyone was also rather unhappy in their hearts.


    Feng Tianyang��s death was actually something that had a far-reaching impact on the Northernmost Steppe.


    Concerning this point, everyone had a score in their hearts.


    Empyrean Vast Wind said coolly, ��You want an explanation? This Empyrean will explain for you right now.��


    Done talking, Empyrean Vast Wind suddenly fired a palm out. Heaven and earth changed colors because of it.


    Empyrean Zhen Huang��s face revealed a look of great alarm, hurriedly raising his palm to meet the enemy.


    However, a power akin to Mount Tai crushing down from above suddenly pressed over.


    This palm, he was unable to contend with it!


    Empyrean Mie Yu��s two eyes narrowed and suddenly pointed a finger out too.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    The wind and clouds changed, lightning flashing.


    The battle between middle-stage Empyrean Realms was too earth-shaking.


    Yet, under this palm of Empyrean Vast Wind, the two great Sixth Firmament Empyrean powerhouses were faltering very soon.


    Empyrean Tian Jue gave a cold snort and also struck a palm out.


    With three great Empyreans making a move at the same time, how shocking was the commotion?


    However, what was even more shocking was Empyrean Vast Wind!


    His palm seemed to have come from beyond the heavens, suppressing the world.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Very soon, the three great Empyreans could not hold on anymore, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood at the same time, figures flying out backward.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s one palm suppressed three great Empyreans!


    ��Damn it! You �� You broke through to the late-stage Empyrean Realm?�� Empyrean Tian Jue looked at Vast Wind and said with a look of astonishment.


    Empyrean Vast Wind said coolly, ��Are you all still satisfied with this explanation?��


    Empyrean Tian Jue was tongue-tied for a moment and actually did not know what to say.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces and said coolly, ��Looks like nobody has objections anymore, set off then.��


    Done talking, Empyrean Vast Wind stepped out and shuttled into the void.


    The other Empyreans exchanged glances, but still followed him in the end.


    �� ��


    Several tens of thousands of miles outside of Jiu Luo Ji, Empyrean Ice Cloud revealed her figure, having a hint of ridicule flashed across the corners of her mouth.


    ��So what if you have the Heaven Shocking Lightning? Can��t catch up to this Empyrean, everything is futile!��


    Except, her voice had yet to fade when a layer of ripples emerged in space. Ye Yuan��s figure slowly stepped out.


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s words were immediately cut off.


    She used a gaze like having seen a ghost and cried out in surprise, ��You �� How can you be so fast?��


    Ye Yuan played with the Heaven Shocking Lightning in his hand and said coolly, ��You seemed to have forgotten that I know spatial law.��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud naturally did not forget!


    It was just that she did not think that Ye Yuan��s spatial law would actually be fearsome to such a degree.


    She traversed the void with the power of Fifth Firmament Empyrean. How fast was the speed?


    Originally she thought that she would be able to shake Ye Yuan off, but who knew that she would be caught up so quickly.


    A True God Realm could actually rely on spatial law to catch up to a Fifth Firmament Empyrean, what kind of shocking thing was this?


    ��You �� Just how will you be willing to let me off!��


    Empyrean Ice Cloud��s complexion was ashen, looking at Ye Yuan with a terrified look.


    ��Let you off? Huhu, you��re probably thinking too much, you must die today!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    ��You �� Are you mad? Your Heaven Shocking Lightning, there��s even a possibility of killing a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, but you��re actually using it to kill me? This kind of precious treasure is a treasure that can fortify destiny regardless of which faction it��s placed in! You��re actually wasting it like this!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud cried out at the top of her voice in shock.


    ��So what? In my view, there��s only willing or not willing, not about it��s worth.�� Ye Yuan still remained unmoved.


    ��You! You lunatic! Do you know once you use the Heaven Shocking Lightning to kill me, Empyrean Windlike absolutely won��t let you off! Also, that Empyrean Vast Wind, he regards this son dearly! Right now, he��s probably already on the way here. If you have the Heaven Shocking Lightning, they will absolutely be incomparably apprehensive. But, if you use it to kill me, you won��t have a reliance anymore!�� Empyrean Ice Cloud��s eyes swiveled around, trying to persuade Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That doesn��t need you to worry over. You also don��t need to harbor thoughts of getting lucky anymore. No matter how what, you also can��t escape death today!��


    Facing Ye Yuan who was impervious to all reason, Empyrean Ice Cloud completely broke down.


    She no longer had any thoughts of leaving things to luck, her figure moving and shuttling into the void, attempting to escape.


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly, right hand pushing lightly, lightly pressing the Heaven Shocking Lightning into the void.


    Using spatial law in front of Ye Yuan, even if it was Empyrean Ice Cloud, it was also showing off in front of an expert!


    It was only to see a horrifying to the extreme power burst out from within the void.


    A blinding light could be seen distinctly even from more than a hundred thousand miles away.


    At this time, it was as if there was only that area of pale-yellow light left in the world.


    Rumble!


    The Empyreans who were far away at Jiu Luo Ji currently had ashen pale faces.


    That horrifying energy undulation was seemingly like the sound of thunder, exploding in their ears, being clear and distinguishable!


    They were all very clear that this energy was released more than a hundred thousand miles away.


    If released in this Jiu Luo Ji, the entire Jiu Luo Ji would probably be razed to the ground instantly!


    An Empyrean powerhouse said falteringly, ��This �� This is the strike of a heavenly emperor? R-Really too horrifying! Saying that it has the power to destroy the world is also not overboard!��


    Currently, the group of Empyreans exchanged glances, and they actually felt somewhat grateful toward Empyrean Ice Cloud.


    If she did not run away, Ye Yuan would likely have directly obliterated Jiu Luo Ji at this time!

 Chapter 2094 - Spatial Node Technique!

    In Jiu Luo Ji, there was utter dilapidation.


    Even when separated by such a great distance, Jiu Luo Ji was still affected.


    This heaven-shocking strike let everyone feel clearly how powerful a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse was!


    Originally, everyone did not have a clear understanding of Heavenly Emperors, this kind of legendary existence.


    But now, everyone had an understanding!


    The group of Empyreans strained their eyes and looked into the distance, all palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    ��Is �� Is this the strike of a Heavenly Emperor? No wonder everyone says that Heavenly Emperor is a life-form on another level. This kind of power is simply unimaginable!�� Empyrean Redfeather��s face turned pale as he said.


    Only a short while ago, he felt that he was already standing at the summit of the world, thinking that Empyrean was already extremely powerful.


    But now, he knew that in front of Heavenly Emperors, he was weak like an ant.


    This kind of destructive power was simply unable to use shocking to describe.


    ��It��s us being weak that restricted our imaginations!�� Empyrean Xiao Yu lamented.


    All the way until now, that light that covered the sky still did not dissipate.


    It seemed to have become eternal in this world.


    There was already no one who cared about whether Empyrean Ice Cloud was dead or alive. Under this kind of heaven-shocking strike, forget about a Fifth Firmament Empyrean, even a Ninth Firmament Empyrean or half-step Heavenly Emperor, so what?


    There was only death!


    Suddenly, the void trembled. Several dozen figures stepped out of the air. The entire Jiu Luo Ji immediately exclaimed in alarm.


    Several dozen Empyreans, what kind of powerful line-up was this? To actually descend upon Jiu Luo Ji at the same time.


    The extreme north was shocked!


    Use their buttocks to think that everyone also knew who came.


    It was just that Empyrean Vast Wind did not come in a threatening manner, but looked at the light in the horizon, his expression flickering incessantly.


    Earlier, in the void, he felt a power that he was unable to contend with affecting the entire world.


    It almost sent them, these Empyrean powerhouses, into the spatial turbulent flow.


    This kind of horrifying power made his heart palpitate.


    This was a power that he was unable to rival!


    There was still such a terrifying power existing in this Northernmost Steppe?


    An Empyrean who just came out said with lingering fear in his heart, ��This �� What in the world happened here? Even a Ninth Firmament Empyrean also doesn��t have such horrifying destructive power, right?��


    ��This power, could it be a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse? Could it be that �� Feng Tianyang offended a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, that��s why he was killed?�� Empyrean Mie Yu��s face also turned white, speculating.


    These powerhouses were normally all high and mighty, having an appearance of impassiveness.


    But having witnessed such a horrifying energy undulation, they were all not composed anymore.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s two eyes narrowed, his gaze finally landing on Empyrean Windlike.


    ��Windlike, what��s going on here? Who killed Tianyang?�� Empyrean Vast Wind said in a solemn voice.


    It was just that when asking this, the extreme north��s sovereign, Empyrean Vast Wind, appeared lacking in confidence.


    After all, this scene before their eyes was too shocking. It already far exceeded the scope of power that he controlled.


    How could Empyrean Windlike not understand what Vast Wind was thinking?


    In reality, the Empyrean Windlike who witnessed everything was currently even more shocked than Empyrean Vast Wind and the others.


    But Empyrean Vast Wind was asking him. So Empyrean Windlike forcefully collected his thoughts, then briefly recounted the events from start to end.


    When mentioning the Heaven Shocking Lightning, everyone including Empyrean Vast wind all let out a long sigh in relief.


    If this thing was released against them, probably none of the Empyreans present would be able to survive.


    That was several dozen Empyreans!


    More than half of this extreme north��s Empyreans still did not have any strength to retaliate in front of this power.


    But beyond the shock, the group of Empyreans was secretly laughing at Ye Yuan��s foolishness.


    This kind of precious treasure was actually used to bombard a mosquito, killing the ant-like Empyrean Ice Cloud. It was truly a wanton waste of God��s good gifts!


    As long as Ye Yuan did not use it, he would be able to deter the entire Northernmost Steppe!


    Even if Empyrean Vast Wind came to find him, he also would not dare to be impudent in front of him.


    But now, Ye Yuan used it up. Wouldn��t it be equivalent to asking Empyrean Vast Wind to exterminate him?


    Sure enough, Empyrean Vast Wind gave a cold snort and said, ��What a fine Ye Yuan! To dare kill my son, this Empyrean will definitely have you die without a burial ground!��


    Although his words were ruthless, everyone heard the sense of relief in his words.


    If Ye Yuan did not use up the Heaven Shocking Lightning, him coming in a threatening manner would probably have had his face slapped swollen.


    ��However, before this, I��ll take care of the two of you first!��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s gaze turned cold but landed on Yang Fei-er and Empyrean Loneswan.


    After Ye Yuan left, Empyrean Windlike��s aura had locked onto their bodies from far away the entire time. As long as they made any strange movements, he would deal a lightning blow.


    But these two people were also sensible and actually did not run away.


    Everyone looked at the two people with pity, feeling that they followed the wrong person.


    ��Heh, Old Man Loneswan, you��re also someone who has lived to a ripe old age, to actually throw your lot in with such a fool. That kid had such a precious treasure in his hands and he actually used it to kill a measly little Ice Cloud. Are you regretting it to death right now?�� Empyrean Tian Jue said mockingly.


    Empyrean Loneswan��s face did not have a flustered look, he just said coolly, ��Tian Jue, you��re wrong! Not only did I not regret it, but I��m also rejoicing greatly instead!��


    Tian Jue laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Rejoicing? You followed such a fool and are actually still rejoicing? Right now, he threw you here alone to wait for death, but you��re actually still rejoicing? Old Man Loneswan, looks like you��re really muddle-headed with age!��


    A hint of a smile surfaced on Empyrean Loneswan��s face and he said coolly, ��That strike just now, you all saw it, right? Do you feel that you are very insignificant? Do you feel that you��re very weak? You guys aren��t able to imagine this kind of realm throughout your lives, while I, will witness the birth of a peerless powerhouse! Or maybe one day in the future, this Empyrean will also possess this kind of power!��


    ��Hahaha, peerless powerhouse? You��re talking about that kid? He��ll become a dead person very soon! No matter how great his talent is, what��s the use?�� Tian Jue laughed loudly and said.


    The other Empyreans also had mocking looks on their faces, feeling that Empyrean Loneswan had gone utterly insane and already could not figure out the situation.


    Empyrean Vast Wind gave a cold snort and said, ��Do you want to witness the birth of a peerless powerhouse? Can, go to another world, he��ll go down to accompany you very soon. No, wait, he won��t have the chance, because this Empyrean is going to extract his soul alive and refine it for 100 thousand years, making him never to reincarnate for all of eternity!��


    His aura suddenly released, a horrifying pressure filled the group of Empyreans with fear.


    Everyone knew that Empyrean Vast Wind genuinely became enraged.


    It was only to see him throw a palm over toward Loneswan and Yang Fei-er fiercely.


    But these two people were not seized with panic but took out a jade plate very calmly.


    ��Huhu, Vast Wind, your son��s death only had himself to blame! You can��t kill Master too! As for us, you likewise can��t kill!��


    Loneswan crushed the jade plate very calmly, the two people��s figures instantly vanished on the spot.


    Empyrean Vast Wind laughed coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��Want to escape? How can it be that easy!��


    It was only to see him extend a palm into the palm, chasing right after the two people.


    It was just that when he probed into the void, where was there still the two people��s shadows?


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s expression changed, and he said in alarm and fury, ��Damn it! It��s a spatial node technique!��

 Chapter 2095 - Warning

    ��It��s actually a spatial node technique! This guy��s grasp over spatial law actually already reached such an extent?��


    Empyrean Tian Jue was dumbfounded with amazement as he looked at this scene.


    Originally thought that Loneswan two people were dead for sure, who would have thought that they suddenly used spatial node technique, escaping away.


    Even if there was a late-stage Empyrean mighty expert like Empyrean Vast Wind, he also could not hold these two back.


    Spatial node technique was an extremely profound application of spatial law. There were also scanty few Empyrean powerhouses that could grasp it.


    The so-called spatial node technique was leaving behind a marker in some nodal point of space, and imprinting it onto some object with extremely complicated spatial secret art.


    As long as one crushed this item, they would be able to trigger the spatial secret art and transport the person around it to that spatial node.


    This kind of transportation was something instantaneous. Unless one��s spatial law attainments reached a certain realm, otherwise, it was very hard to keep the other party behind.


    ��Damn it! This spatial node technique can��t transport you two too far. After this Empyrean kills that wicked thing, I��ll come and take care of both of you!�� Empyrean Vast Wind��s words appeared somewhat having become somewhat angry from embarrassment.


    The other people were silent like cicadas in winter, all not daring to speak.


    It was just that toward this scene just now, they were secretly startled.


    In this Northernmost Steppe, there were few who could escape from under Empyrean Vast Wind��s hands so effortlessly.


    ��Tian Jue, Mie Yu, Zhen Huang, the three of you each lead a team and pincer Ye Yuan from three directions. If you guys let him escape, this Empyrean will exterminate your clans!�� Empyrean Vast Wind said in a thunderous rage.


    The three people��s faces were slightly fearful, nodding their heads and answering yes one after another.


    Empyrean Vast Wint already planted a divine sense imprint on Ye Yuan, the three people chased after following the aura.


    Empyrean Vast Wind gave a cold snort and took a step out.


    ��Brother Tian Jue, this kid��s spatial law is so impressive, but why is he hobbling slowly over there?��


    Empyrean Shen Luo sensed that Empyrean Vast Wind��s divine sense imprint speed of moving was not fast, and instead like it was sightseeing.


    Empyrean Tian Jue��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Humph! Conceited fool! No matter how great this kind of person��s talent is, it��s also impossible to rise up. Let��s hasten our footsteps! The southwest direction is the Demon Divine Region. Once let him escape to the Demon Divine Region, that will be like a fish entering the sea.��


    Empyrean Shen Luo nodded slightly, the party��s speed increasing a little.


    After half a day, above a stretch of wilderness, more than a dozen figures stepped out of the air.


    Ahead, a youth in white stood with his hands behind his back, traveling leisurely and carefree.


    When the youth in white saw Tian Jue and the rest, he flashed a smile and said, ��Only came now. You guys are too slow.��


    Empyrean Tian Jue��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right, it��s precisely this Ye.��


    ��You knew that we were coming?�� Empyrean Tian Jue��s brows furrowed, feeling puzzled in his heart.


    In his view, Ye Yuan should be escaping in a panic right now.


    But looking at Ye Yuan��s appearance, it seemed like he was sightseeing, deliberately waiting for them to come.


    He only felt that Ye Yuan was foolish before, not knowing that they were pursuing.


    However, the moment Ye Yuan saw then, his face did not have the slightest expression of surprise. It was as if he knew about them chasing him long ago.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��That Feng Tianyang fused three power of laws. No matter where he��s at, he��s a peerless genius. Empyrean Vast Wind naturally dotes on him dearly. I killed him, so it��s impossible for Empyrean Vast Wind to regard it like he didn��t see it.��


    The moment Ye Yuan said it like this, Empyrean Tian Jue��s brows knitted even tighter.


    Ye Yuan��s logic was extremely clear, not at all like a slow-witted person.


    How could such a person possibly resign himself to death here?


    ��Then why didn��t you run?�� Empyrean Tian Jue said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Although I��m proficient in spatial law, in front of a middle-stage Empyrean powerhouse, I can��t escape at all. Since I can��t run, then might as well don��t run anymore.��


    Although Ye Yuan��s spatial law was impressive, in terms of speed, it was at most only comparable to the initial-stage Empyrean Realm.


    In front of middle-stage Empyrean Realms, there was no possibility of escaping at all.


    The Northernmost Steppe was a vast territory that was immense; sufficient for Empyrean Vast Wind to catch up to him.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan never planned on escaping at all.


    As for Empyrean Ice Cloud, she just forcefully increased her strength with a secret art and did not count as a true middle-stage Empyrean Realm at all. Hence, that was why Ye Yuan could catch up to her very quickly.


    ��In that case, you��re planning on surrendering without resistance?�� Empyrean Tian Jue said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Surrendering without resistance? Huhu, you��re thinking too much. Waiting for you guys here, I just want to tell Empyrean Vast Wind that he can��t kill me.��


    Tian Jue laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��If you have the Heaven Shocking Lightning in your possession, he indeed can��t kill you. But you actually used such a precious treasure to kill one Ice Cloud. So what reliance do you have now?��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��How can my means be what you can imagine?��


    Ye Yuan had a look of composure as if these Empyreans were all ants.


    Right at this time, an astonishing aura descended. A middle-aged in azure robes slowly stepped out. Who could it be if not Empyrean Vast Wind?


    His gaze fell on Ye Yuan, cold until it pierced the bones.


    ��You��re Ye Yuan?�� Empyrean Vast Wind said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan sized Empyrean Vast Wind up for a bit and said coolly, ��Well-worthy of being the extreme north��s number one person. The aura on your body is much stronger compared to them. No wonder you could groom a genius like Feng Tianyang.��


    Empyrean Vast Wind was taken aback. This boy actually still had the mood to appraise him?


    ��Humph! You still have the gall to mention Tianyang! Since you got caught up by this Empyrean, I believe that you already came to understand, right?�� Empyrean Vast Wind said coldly.


    ��Came to understand? What��s that? I stayed behind just to warn you that Feng Tianyang coveted Lu-er��s Profound Yin Divine Physique, his crime deserving more than death. This matter ends here. If you refuse to stop, bear the consequences yourself!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��You are warning this Empyrean?��


    A hint of a mocking smile flashed across the corners of Empyrean Vast Wind��s mouth, seeming to find it very funny.


    But Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right. It��s warning you.��


    The other Empyreans�� faces all revealed very comical looks. Clearly, they all felt that Ye Yuan��s words were very hilarious.


    ��Heh, looks like you��re impenetrably thickheaded. Then �� this Empyrean will send you off! Relax, I won��t let you die so easily. This Empyrean will extract your divine soul and refine for 100 thousand years. I��ll let you know the taste of despair.��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s aura suddenly rose, gradually reaching the peak. Then, he pressed a palm over toward Ye Yuan.


    The moment a Seventh Firmament Empyrean made his move, how shocking was the commotion.


    The other Empyreans�� faces all changed, looking at this scene in incredible shock.


    Too strong!


    This palm virtually represented the apex of the Northernmost Steppe.


    However, right at this time, a figure flashed out of the void.


    That figure similarly smacked a palm out. The commotion was extremely shocking and actually roughly on par with Empyrean Vast Wind.


    Bang!


    A horrifying air billow came over. Even those Sixth Firmament Empyreans could not stand firm either, almost dropping down from the sky.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s figure flew out backward. He looked at this figure in great shock and said, ��Huntwind, what��s the meaning of this? This is my human race��s internal affairs. If you intervene, it��s becoming enemies with the entire extreme north��s human race!��

 Chapter 2096 - Second Sage

    This middle-aged man that suddenly appeared had a stocky and imposing build, having a full beard on his face, looking very boorish.


    It was just that the divine essence undulation on his body was different from Vast Wind and the rest. It was shockingly a demon race��s major power!


    He was Empyrean Huntwind, one of the Northernmost Steppe��s five great demon race Empyreans.


    His status was comparable to Empyrean Vast Wind��s in the demon race.


    Hearing Empyrean Vast Wind��s question, Empyrean Huntwind chuckled and said, ��You old wily fox, using the human race to come and suppress this Empyrean? Heh, if not for dreading those few old monsters, do you think that it��s your turn to be unbridled here?��


    Empyrean Vast Wind snorted coldly and said, ��This boy has the enmity of having killed my son. If you protect him, you can forget about leaving this place today!��


    But Empyrean Huntwind ignored him. Instead, he turned around and gave a respectful bow toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Huntwind was tardy in coming to the rescue. I hope that Lord Second Sage pardons my offense.��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��No worries. The time was just right.��


    Empyrean Huntwind suddenly switched to a pleased expression as he asked excitedly, ��Lord Second Sage killed Feng Tianyang?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, ��Feng Tianyang coveted Lu-er��s Profound Yin Divine Physique and was killed by me with one sword move.��


    ��Hahaha, well killed! This Empyrean wanted to kill that punk long ago, but Vast Wind this old thing is too cunning, not giving me any chance. I didn��t expect that he actually died in Lord Second Sage��s hands!�� Empyrean Huntwind said with a big laugh.


    Although he was laughing, he was actually extremely shocked in his heart.


    What kind of character was Feng Tianyang?


    Even he, one of the demon race��s five great Empyreans, was extremely apprehensive of him.


    Once Feng Tianyang grew up, it would absolutely be a catastrophic blow to their demon race.


    Hence, for so many years, Empyrean Huntwind had once engineered numerous murder schemes targeting Feng Tianyang.


    But none ever succeeded even once.


    For this, the demon race even lost numerous geniuses.


    Who could have thought that Feng Tianyang actually died just like that?


    He died in the hands of a middle-stage True God Realm!


    When Vast Wind and the rest of the Empyreans saw Huntwind��s attitude, their eyeballs nearly popped out.


    This stubborn and unruly demon race major power was actually so respectful toward a human race��s True God Realm?


    In this land of extreme north, Vast Wind and the rest had fought with the demon race��s five great Empyreans countless times before. When had they seen him be so respectful toward someone before?


    Also, Empyrean Huntwind actually called Ye Yuan ��Second Sage��.


    Who could shoulder this form of address?


    Just who was this kid in front of him?


    Empyrean Vast Wind did not know that before Ye Yuan came to the extreme north, the demon race��s Sacred Ancestor High Priest announced to the entire demon race that he was conferring to Ye Yuan the title ��Second Sage.��


    In alchemy, this was an existence second only to him!


    This title stirred up monumental waves in the demon race.


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s status in the demon race was extremely revered. The ��Second Sage�� that he personally conferred, how venerated was that status?


    Why would Ye Yuan not have any reliance when coming to this Jiu Luo Ji?


    This title of ��Second Sage�� was the path of retreat that he saved for himself.


    Ye Yuan knew that the Northernmost Steppe was a vast territory. Even if he saved Lu-er, he might not be able to escape too.


    And this Northernmost Steppe��s demon race was his greatest reliance.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan used up the Heaven Shocking Lightning without any scruples.


    Seeing Empyrean Huntwind��s gloating appearance, Empyrean Vast Wind finally could not endure it anymore.


    ��Humph! Huntwind, this Empyrean doesn��t care who he is! If you dare to stop this Empyrean today, this Empyrean will make you fall here!��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s aura suddenly released and actually directly reached Seventh Firmament Empyrean!


    Huntwind had a look of amusement as he said, ��Haha, did you think that only you broke through?��


    The moment Empyrean Huntwind��s aura was released, berserk demon divine essence was emitted, and he was actually not the least bit weaker than Empyrean Vast Wind!


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s expression changed. He thought that he would be able to suppress the five great Empyreans after he broke through. Who knew that Empyrean Huntwind was the same as him, also breaking through to the late-stage Empyrean Realm.


    Except, his notion of killing Ye Yuan would not change at all simply because of Empyrean Huntwind��s breakthrough.


    ��Tian Jue, Mie Yu, Zhen Huang, this Empyrean will deal with this old bear. You all attack together, go kill that boy!�� Empyrean Vast Wind ordered.


    Empyrean Huntwind laughed loudly and flicked his sleeves grandly and said, ��Competing with numbers? Open your dog eyes and take a look!��


    The moment these words came out, each and every one of the human race��s major powers�� faces changed drastically.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    In the void, one figure after another stepped out of the air. It was all Empyrean powerhouses!


    Roughly calculating a bit, there were probably already several hundred Empyrean powerhouses.


    The faces of Vast Wind and the rest turned pale with a whoosh.


    ��This �� What the hell is going on here? The demon race��s five great Empyreans have always been divided, why would they join hands and attack this time?��


    ��This kind of line-up, probably the entire extreme north��s demon race Empyreans are all here, right?��


    ��How is this possible? The extreme north��s demon race goes on conquests year in and year out without ceasing, that��s how our human race can keep a foothold here, but today ����


    �� ��


    When the human race��s several dozen Empyreans saw such a terrifying line-up, each and every one of their faces revealed looks of despair.


    In the Northernmost Steppe, the demon race��s strength was much stronger than the human race.


    It was just that among the demon race��s powerhouses, neither yielded to the others. That was how the human race could survive between the crevices.


    But today, these different species of demons actually all joined hands.


    This kind of situation had never happened before.


    If prior to this, their understanding of ��Second Sage�� still remained on that it was a term.


    However, now, they finally had a clear understanding of how powerful this noun was.


    What kind of person could make the entire extreme north��s demon race be bound by a common hatred for the enemy?


    Even if Huntwind broke through to the late-stage Empyrean Realm, he also could not do this!


    In fact, those few old monsters of the demon race likewise could not do it too!


    But Ye Yuan did it.


    Empyrean Vast Wind finally understood what kind of powerful opponent he was facing.


    ��Hahaha! Vast Wind, weren��t you very arrogant just now? Continue to be cocky now! You want to kill Second Sage, then today, our extreme north��s demon race will annihilate your human race!�� Huntwind laughed wildly and said.


    Several hundred Empyreans ganging up on several dozen Empyreans, this kind of strength comparison was not on the same level at all.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s face was ashen. He never dreamed that he would end up in such a hopeless situation today.


    When he heard that Ye Yuan used up the Heaven Shocking Lightning, he not only had fear toward Ye Yuan in his heart.


    But who could have thought that a measly little True God Realm actually moved the entire extreme north��s demon race Empyreans?


    ��Vast Wind, this Empyrean said before, you can��t kill Master!�� A figure slowly stepped out. It was precisely Empyrean Loneswan who escaped with the spatial node technique.


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s expression flickered incessantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, ��You all really want to fight a life-and-death struggle for a human?��


    One of the demon race��s five great Empyreans, Empyrean Divine Scorpion, said with a sinister smile, ��Heh heh, Vast Wind, this Empyrean wanted to kill you long ago! This time, you can forget about escaping!��


    The five great Empyreans each stood separately, surrounding Empyrean Vast Wind.


    As long as he made any unusual movements, what awaited him would be a lightning blow.


    Finally, Empyrean Divine Scorpion clearly could not hold back anymore, wanting to take action.


    ��Stop! Without my orders, no one is allowed to make a move!��


    Ye Yuan stood in the air, Empyrean Divine Scorpion stopped rather unwillingly.


    He looked at Empyrean Vast Wind and said coolly, ��Vast Wind, I wonder if this Ye��s warning is effective or not?��

 Chapter 2097 - What Are You Happy About?

    Vast Wind, Tian Jue, and the rest had blank expressions. Was this Empyrean Divine Scorpion in front of them really that Divine Scorpion that they knew?


    This Empyrean Divine Scorpion was an existence that did not give in to anyone.


    But now, he was submissive and obedient toward Ye Yuan. They simply could not believe their eyes.


    ��Ye Yuan, this Empyrean is considered defeated today! I only beg that you take into account that we��re of the same human race and let us leave!�� Empyrean Vast Wind gritted his teeth and said.


    Although he gave in, the resentful look in Empyrean Vast Wind��s gaze flashed past.


    The other human Empyreans were also all sighing endlessly. The haughty and overbearing Empyrean Vast Wind actually lowered his head toward a True God Realm powerhouse.


    They were all clear what kind of proud existence Empyrean Vast Wind was.


    Such a person��s heart was loftier than the sky, how could he admit defeat?


    Ye Yuan looked at Vast Wind and said with a faint smile, ��Of course. This Ye isn��t a murderous person. The rest can all leave, but only you and Empyrean Windlike will probably have to stay here forever.��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s face changed drastically when he heard that and looked at Ye Yuan with an alarmed and enraged face as he roared, ��You��re �� despicable!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Despicable? Huhu, I warned you previously. It��s considered to have given you a chance, but it was you who didn��t cherish it. Since my identity is already leaked, do you think that I��d wait for you to come and take revenge?��


    Ye Yuan and Lu-er��s identities were not a secret anymore. As long as Empyrean Vast wind inquired slightly, he would be able to know that he came from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    Being remembered by a Seventh Firmament Empyrean mighty expert day and night, even if Ye Yuan had formidable abilities, it was also hard to take comprehensive precautions.


    Ye Yuan was not a person who murdered the innocent. The grudge between him and Vast Wind was just a personal grudge, so he did not wish to implicate too many outsiders.


    After all, these were all the human race��s powerhouses. Once they all died here, the entire extreme north would probably be plunged into misery and suffering.


    This kind of thing, Ye Yuan could not do it.


    He surveyed the surroundings and said coldly, ��Today��s matter is just the personal grudge between me and Vast Wind! Those who don��t want to die, hurry up and get lost for me!��


    The group of Empyreans exchanged glances, Vast Wind gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice, ��Don��t get fooled by this brat��s sowing discord! He has clearly thrown his lots in with the demon race and wants to divide and destroy our extreme north��s human race!��


    ��Haha, Vast Wind, you saying these words is also insulting our intelligence too much! You want to drag us down the water together, no chance at all! This Empyrean was forced against my will to come here in the first place. Feng Tianyang dying is a good thing to us. Now, there��s someone taking care of you, we��re all too happy!�� Empyrean Mie Yu said with a loud laugh.


    ��Vast Wind, you��ve played the tyrant in the extreme north for so many years! You finally came to an end! I, Zhen Huang, won��t be accompanying anymore.�� Finished talking, Empyrean Zhen Huang directly shuttled into the void and disappeared.


    With these two people taking the lead, the other Empyreans also left one after another.


    Empyrean Tian Jue and the rest were unconvinced by Vast Wind to begin with. If not for him breaking through to be Seventh Firmament Empyrean and forcing these Empyreans to come here, they absolutely would not get involved in this matter.


    Now, there was someone taking care of Vast wind, so they were all too eager.


    From this, one could also tell that Vast Wind ruling the extreme north��s human race, what he relied on was just martial strength. There were not many people who sincerely followed him.


    Looking at one Empyrean after another leaving, Empyrean Vast Wind was close to despairing.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Looks like your popularity isn��t too good. There��s not even one that stayed behind. Looks like you normally don��t enjoy popular support in the extreme north!��


    Empyrean Vast Wind looked at Ye Yuan, gnashed his teeth in hatred, and roared furiously, ��Damn little brute! Today, even if I die, this Empyrean will also slaughter you!��


    Everyone did not predict that Empyrean Vast Wind would suddenly erupt.


    How outrageous was the commotion once an Empyrean was enraged? Even Empyrean Huntwind did not react.


    But he was a powerhouse on the same level as Empyrean Vast Wind after all. Even if he was half a beat slower, he also chased after in time.


    It was only to see him suddenly slam a fist out, the imposing momentum swift and fierce to the extreme.


    However, Empyrean Vast Wind did not avoid this punch. He torpedoed toward Ye Yuan at full strength.


    All of a sudden, an energy undulation that blotted out the skies and covered the earth crushed over towards Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    Bang!


    It was only to hear a loud boom transmit over, Empyrean Vast Wind��s figure flew out like a kite with a broken string.


    However, his palm already fired out too.


    Although it was just a palm that was struck hastily, how powerful was the strength of a Seventh Firmament Empyrean?


    Even if it was a casual palm, butchering True God Realm martial artists were also as easy as blowing off dust.


    Seeing Empyrean Vast wind forcefully take a fist of his, Empyrean Huntwind felt his scalp tingle.


    If Sacred Ancestor High Priest died at his place here, Sacred Ancestor High Priest would probably fly into a thunderous rage, right?


    ��Careful, Second Sage!��


    Empyrean Huntwind only had time to cry out in surprise, the palm already arriving!


    Bang!


    The place where Ye Yuan stood, space shattered, spiritual energy flying everywhere. An intense light shone until people could not open their eyes.


    When the light dissipated, that place already did not have Ye Yuan��s figure long ago.


    All of the demon race��s powerhouses felt their scalps tingle. Second Sage was killed by someone under their heavy encirclement?


    This �� This was a sin!


    Once Sacred Ancestor High Priest raged, the Northernmost Steppe would not have the blade of grass grow!


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This Empyrean will kill you!��


    Empyrean Huntwind roared at Empyrean Vast Wind, suddenly slamming a fist over.


    Bang!


    Forcefully receiving Huntwind��s punch, the current Empyrean Vast Wind was already seriously injured. How could he still be Huntwind��s match?


    This punch, he forcefully withstood it again.


    However, his face did not have any decadence, but instead burst out laughing as he said, ��Haha �� cough cough �� hahaha, what bullshit Second Sage?! Didn��t he still die at this Empyrean��s hands? Tianyang, Father has �� cough cough �� avenged you!��


    Empyrean Vast Wind started laughing free from inhibitions as he coughed blood.


    Empyrean Huntwind bristled with anger, but to the Vast Wind who already had the will to die, his fury had no use at all.


    A moment of carelessness let Second Sage die! He could not absolve himself from the blame!


    ��What are you happy about?�� Right at this time, a faint voice sounded out in everyone��s ears, making Empyrean Vast Wind��s laughter abruptly stopped.


    A young and handsome voice slowly stepped out, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Empyrean Huntwind��s eyes went wide, and he said in disbelief, ��Lord Second Sage, you �� you didn��t die?��


    The other demon race Empyreans also had astonished faces. Although that palm earlier was not strong, it was enough to one-shot an initial-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouse.


    But Ye Yuan was completely unscathed!


    ��This �� How is this possible? That palm of mine clearly already hit you!�� Empyrean Vast Wind had a blank face as he said in shock.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said, ��You don��t seem to know this, but Loneswan their spatial node technique, it was personally set up by me. With my spatial law attainments, even if there isn��t Huntwind they all around, it also won��t be easy for you to want to kill me, let alone that you can only ambush me while taking advantage of their inattentiveness? This degree of attack is indeed lethal to other True God Realms, but I laid down several dozen spatial nodes all around here. As long as my thoughts stir, I��ll be able to teleport away. How can it be that easy for you to want to kill me?��


    ��This �� This ���� Empyrean Vast Wind looked at Ye Yuan, his complexion ashen.


    The palm that he risked his old life to exchange for actually did not even harm Ye Yuan��s hair!

 Chapter 2098 - High Priest Redplume’s invitation

    It was simply very hard for people who did not truly learn the rudiments of spatial law to imagine how profound this law was.


    The higher the realm, the more accomplished with high proficiency the application of spatial law. It would instead form more of an illusion. That would be so for someone who was actually already very skilled in the aspect of spatial law.


    However, being able to be called a supreme law, how could spatial law be that easy?


    Martial artists�� understanding of law was just one aspect, the ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.


    With Ye Yuan��s attainments in the aspect of spatial law, even if he was not an Empyrean��s match, if an Empyrean wanted to kill him, it was not as simple as dying to one palm.


    Very clearly, Empyrean Vast Wind was misled just like that.


    In reality, the Empyreans present were all deceived by Ye Yuan.


    ��Alright, you��ve experienced it now. You can give up hope now, right? Huntwind, send him on his way!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Eh, alright! Haha, it��s still Lord Second Sage who is impressive. Otherwise, this old bear, I, would have to expend considerable effort to kill him!�� Empyrean Huntwind rubbed his fists and wiped his palms, appearing extremely excited.


    He and Vast Wind were the demon race��s and the human race��s number one person. The two people had fought for no idea how many years.


    Today, he could finally eliminate this guy. So how could he not be excited?


    Huntwind��s palm carried horrifying power, directly annihilating Empyrean Vast Wind.


    The all-powerful lord of the extreme north, Empyrean Vast Wind, was annihilated just like that.


    As for Empyrean Windlike, it was naturally even less necessary to go into details. Under the garroting of the group of demon race Empyreans, he fell in battle very quickly.


    ��Young Master!��


    At this time, Lu-er��s figure slowly walked out of the void, akin to a fairy maiden descending upon the world.


    Even if these demon race Empyreans saw, they also could not help becoming absent-minded.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu-er and could not help sighing. The thin and frail young lass back then already grew into a tall and graceful lady now.


    The current Lu-er did not lose to Li-er and Mu Lingxue, the two great goddesses, in terms of looks in the slightest.


    Furthermore, Lu-er��s Profound Yin body bestowed on her a disposition as clean as ice and as pure as jade, akin to a fairy maiden that had transcended the mundane world.


    ��Huhu, it��s all over! In the future, this young master won��t let you suffer any harm again!�� Ye Yuan lightly caressed Lu-er��s head and said smilingly.


    Lu-er nodded her head and said, ��It was Lu-er who caused trouble for Young Master.��


    Not far away, Yang Fei-er looked at this scene with an envious look.


    In Ice Cloud Tower, Yang Fei-er was the closest to Lu-er and naturally knew that she always kept that young master in her thoughts.


    It was just that in her view, that so-called young master was not worthy of Lu-er at all.


    Lu-er was exceptionally talented. There were practically no obstacles in corroborating her Dao as an Empyrean in the future at all, while that young master was merely a puny little imperial city��s alchemist.


    A thousand years later, the two people would long already not be on the same level anymore.


    But when she knew Ye Yuan��s identity, Yang Fei-er was thoroughly stunned.


    Lu-er��s young master was actually so freakishly talented!


    If it was merely talent, forget it. The series of events that happened later made her shocked until it could not be any greater.


    Eradicating He Xiangyun with his fist, slaying Feng Tianyang with his sword, and even obliterating Empyrean Ice Cloud with a heaven-shocking attack.


    Now, even the leader of the extreme north��s human race, Empyrean Vast Wind, also died in his hands.


    Not just so, he even became the demon race��s Second Sage. Even the Empyrean Huntwind that Empyrean Vast Wind who was very wary of was also submissive and obedient to him.


    This kind of peerlessly heroic man, which woman could not admire?


    Yang Fei-er sighed faintly and actually became somewhat envious of Lu-er.


    Ye Yuan comforted Lu-er a while and suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Already watched for so long, still not showing yourself?��


    Huntwind and the rest of the Empyreans exchanged glances, looking all around, and did not discover traces of other people at all.


    Suddenly, a layer of ripple emerged in space. A figure was like a ripple, slowly condensing and forming into an old man like


    The old man had a goatee, looking very amiable.


    When Huntwind looked at the arrival, he could not help opening his eyes wide.


    He, this Seventh Firmament Empyrean powerhouse, did not even discover the arrival, Ye Yuan discovered him?


    No wonder Sacred Ancestor High Priest valued Lord Second Sage so highly. He was indeed extraordinary!


    Previously, his awe toward Ye Yuan mostly originated from Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    But now, he discovered that this Second Sage was really not simple.


    However, what shocked him even more was this goatee old man. With his strength, he actually could not fathom the old man��s depths!


    The goatee old man gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��This old man Gongyang Lie[1], as a servant by High Priest Redplume��s side, pays respect to Lord Second Sage!��


    Toward goat beard��s self-introduction, Ye Yuan did not have any reaction. But each and every one of the demon race Empyreans present, their eyeballs nearly popped out.


    ��H-High Priest Redplume! Extreme north��s Huntwind pays respect to Lord Gongyang!�� Empyrean Huntwind actually knelt straight down, knees hitting the ground.


    ��Paying respect to Lord Gongyang!�� The group of Empyreans all prostrated.


    Ye Yuan was at a loss and said in puzzlement, ��High Priest Redplume? Who is that?��


    The goat beard��s brows furrowed slightly, but he still explained, ��High Priest Redplume is the eleventh disciple under Sacred Ancestor High Priest; one of the demon race��s strongest 11 people in terms of Alchemy Dao apart from the Sacred Ancestor High Priest himself!��


    Ye Yuan was enlightened the moment he heard this.


    This High Priest Redplume was Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s little disciple.


    Not just any random Tom, Dick, or Harry, could become a servant by High Priest Redplume��s side.


    This goat beard was likely a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Hence, that was why Huntwind and the rest would be so respectful.


    Of course, just based on High Priest Redplume��s servant, this identity, even if the goat beard did not have a Heavenly Emperor��s cultivation realm, it was also sufficient to do as he pleased in the demon race.


    ��So that��s how it is. Qhat did you come to find me for?�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Facing a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Ye Yuan did not have much awe or veneration.


    He saw Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s thoughts as clear as a blazing fire. Previously, when he solved ��Ask Not��, he did not express anything but suppressed the matter instead. Sacred Ancestor High Priest was worried that giving him too high a status would hinder his growth.


    Presently, Ye Yuan displayed his talent for the first time in the Southern Border, crushing until the whole territory��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods bowed their heads in submission. Sacred Ancestor High Priest felt that the time already arrived. That was why he would announce to the outside world that he was ��Second Sage��.


    This title of ��Second Sage�� was not that he felt that Ye Yuan��s standing could already match up to this kind of status.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan��s present strength was completely inadequate to harness this title!


    In terms of realm, Ye Yuan was merely True God Realm.


    In terms of Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan also merely just entered Ancestor Realm currently.


    There were countless powerhouses in this world, but Ye Yuan never felt that he was invincible under the heavens.


    Not mentioning others, just talking about these 11 disciples under Sacred Ancestor High Priest, each one of them was a demon race major power, with their Alchemy Dao strength being immensely formidable.


    The current Ye Yuan was far from a match.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest giving him this title was to make him become the target of public scorn, to let him swiftly grow up amidst adversity.


    Clearly, his every action and conduct, the other party was paying attention to it.


    Humph, this kid is so condescending, to actually think nothing of Master! Does he really take himself to be Second Sage?


    Seeing that Ye Yuan��s face did not have any look of awe, Gongyang Lie was very unhappy in his heart.


    However, he did not show it on his face and said with a faint smile, ��Westspirit Region under Master��s command is going to host a grand Demon Divine Pill Convention. He heard that Second Sage is an alchemy master and specially invited Second Sage over to give a pointer or two.��


    [1] [Annotation text missing]

 Chapter 2099 - He Has Been Lonely for Too Long

    ��Master, Little Junior Brother he �� seems to be somewhat dissatisfied with your decision, and he arbitrarily summoned Ye Yuan to Westspirit Region,�� Ji Mo said with a helpless look[1].


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest stood with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he reached his hand out and beckoned. A table-sized chessboard landed on the table.


    ��Ji Mo, you bring this chessboard and make a trip to Wan Xiang Great Imperial Capital.�� Wing said with a faint smile.


    Ji Mo��s entire body trembled and he said, ��Master, this �� this is the Ask Not chessboard that you studied for several million years! You��re actually going to let that kid crack it? You �� wouldn��t really take him to be Second Sage, right?��


    When he said this, Ji Mo��s words more or less still carried some indignation.


    He touched his heart and felt that when he was young, he also had talent that did not lose to Ye Yuan.


    However, he did not obtain his master��s such serious and earnest response.


    Wing gave Ji Mo a meaningful glance and said with a smile, ��Second Sage? Huhu, Ji Mo, the more one cares about this title, the more one can��t amount to anything great! You apprentice brothers pay too much attention to this title! To people who pursue Dao, all undeserved reputation is fabricated, only one��s own strength is real!��


    Ji Mo trembled again, his face revealing an ashamed expression as he bowed. He then said, ��What Master says is extremely right. Ji Mo has learned it.��


    These days, them apprentice brothers cared about this title of Second Sage immensely.


    One had to know, they all, these apprentice brothers, had already followed Sacred Ancestor High Priest for several millions of years. But no one could get this name.


    But now, a measly little True God Realm, Six-star Alchemy God, was actually enjoying such a revered reputation.


    What did ��Second Sage�� mean?


    That was an existence second only to the sacred ancestor high priest. Furthermore, it was the honor of having the Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally grant it.


    But now, Sacred Ancestor High Priest roused the dreamer from sleep with a word. Ji Mo could not help being taken aback by surprise.


    He gave him a glance and said with a faint smile, ��The so-called martial artists yearn for Dao is actually merely a joke. This world is a vanity fair. How many can throw aside fame and pursue Great Dao? Even those high and mighty Dao Ancestors probably find it hard to truly abandon this world��s fame and gain too. But this Ye Yuan, this seat has observed him for a long time. His Dao is different from the others! In Alchemy Dao, his innocence and devotion definitely have never wavered before! And this is also the greatest difference between you all apprentice brothers and him!��


    Ji Mo��s expression gradually became solemn. The more he followed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s side, the more he felt his shallowness.


    It was just that this logic, him understanding did not mean that he could really do it.


    In this world, who did not understand the logic of yearning for Dao?


    But after reaching Empyrean Realm, cultivation is easily calculated with millions of years. How many powerhouses could really endure the whittling of time?


    Time was a butcher��s blade!


    Since time immemorial, how many Empyreans, or even Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, had it killed?


    ��What Master said, Ji Mo has received the teachings!�� Ji Mo said respectfully.


    ��Haha, go on! This seat already can��t wait and want to have a battle with this boy. Truly an opponent that makes people��s hot blood seethe!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priests gaze seemed to have passed through the firmament, arriving at the Northernmost Steppe.


    �� ��


    ��Huhu, looks like �� Sacred Ancestor High Priest can��t quite stand the loneliness anymore!��


    Hearing what Gongyang Lie said, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    His gaze looked towards the horizon as if piercing through the void, meeting eyes with a certain someone on the horizon.


    The so-called being spiritually attached to a friend that one had not met, was likely talking about the two of them, right?


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s words were so uninhibited and unbridled in Gongyang Lie��s view.


    ��Humph! Don��t Second Sage forget, your title is bestowed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. The minimum respect should still be shown!�� Gongyang Lie said unhappily.


    How shocking was the rage of a Heavenly Emperor?


    Huntwind and the rest were crushed by this powerful pressure until they could not breathe and did not even dare to raise their heads.


    In Gongyang Lie��s view, High Priest Redplume was already a paramount existence.


    Then, what kind of existence was his master, Sacred Ancestor High Priest?


    People should not look at how they called him Second Sage. In reality, there were not many who truly took him to be Second Sage.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, ��Goat beard, one day in the future, you��ll know what I mean. Sacred Ancestor High Priest he �� has been lonely for too long. You all won��t understand.��


    Gongyang Lie seemed to only have a hazy notion, but he still gave a cold snort and stopped talking.


    Before coming, High Priest Redplume instructed before, to make sure not to rub Second Sage the wrong way.


    Gongyang Lie was merely a servant, so he naturally did not dare to defy.


    ��Alright, you can go. Half a year later, I��ll keep the appointment.�� Ye Yuan waved his hand and motioned for Gongyang Lie to leave.


    Gongyang Lie had an oppressed look as he said with a cold smile, ��Very well! I hope that half a year later, Lord Second Sage won��t disappoint Gongyang! Farewell!��


    Done talking, Gongyang Lie��s figure gradually turned illusory, finally disappearing.


    Only after Gongyang Lie��s figure completely vanished did Huntwind and the rest finally let out a sigh in relief.


    Just now, Lord Gongyang Lie was clearly already enraged. It was just that due to Lord Second Sage��s identity, that was why he forcefully pressed it down.


    Except, the pressure of a Heavenly Emperor was too strong. Many Empyreans were already dog-tired and could not even stand.


    Empyrean Huntwind had a bitter face as he said, ��Lord Second Sage, you �� you��re a big shot, but it��s too much for us, these small fries!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, your friendly sentiments, this Ye will bear it in mind. This half a year, I��ll create several Empyrean powerhouses for your demon race.��


    �� ��


    Empyrean Vast Wind��s demise in battle shook the entire Northernmost Steppe.


    Vast Wind two brothers, as well as Feng Tianyang��s passing, changed the entire Northernmost Steppe��s arrangement.


    Vast Wind Assemble fell apart, while Empyrean Tian Jue, Empyrean Mie Yu, Empyrean Zhen Huang, and the rest of the powerful Empyrean powerhouses broke away from central authority and exercised local power. The Northernmost Steppe entered the warring states era, having endless disputes.


    But a legend was left behind in this land of extreme north.


    ��You all don��t know how insufferably arrogant Feng Tianyang was back then. The fusion of three laws, that power, even if an Empyrean powerhouse saw, they would also have to keep a wide berth. But Lord Ji Qingyun directly annihilated him with just a casual sword!��


    ��Master Ji is really my extreme north human race��s savior! If not for him, our extreme north��s human race will probably be plunged into an abyss of suffering!��


    ��Master Ji is truly remarkable! I heard that he��s even the demon race��s Second Sage. Even if Empyrean Huntwind saw him, he has to bow his head in submission and be obedient!��


    �� ��


    After that incident, Ye Yuan ordered Empyrean Huntwind that the demon race was not to invade the human territory within a thousand years.


    It was also precisely because of this order that let the human race barely manage to maintain.


    The land of extreme north was where the strong feeds and the weak were prey. What Ye Yuan could do was also just this.


    If the human race was still unable to give birth to powerhouses that were able to resist the demon race within a thousand years, then it was also not his fault anymore.


    Survival of the fittest in natural selection.


    It was impossible for Ye Yuan to protect the extreme north human race for life. Their strength still needed themselves.


    And in this half a year, Ye Yuan refined several heaven-rank Demon Empyrean Pills for the extreme north��s demon race, creating several Empyrean powerhouses for the extreme north��s demon race.


    The demon race simply prostrated on all fours in admiration toward Ye Yuan, this Second Sage.


    Half a year later, Ye Yuan brought Lu-er and the rest, and stepped onto the road leading to the Westspirit Region.

 Chapter 2100 - : Opposing Heavenly Emperor

    ��Xin Luo leads everyone to pay respects to Lord Gongyang!��


    Below the hall, a crimson-haired middle-aged man led a group of powerhouses wearing priest divine robes and prostrated on the ground, the appearance extremely devout.


    Each and every one of these powerhouses had powerful auras. They were all the same, being Empyrean powerhouses.


    But in front of Gongyang Lie, this Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, they did not even have the qualification to raise their heads.


    Of course, what they were more awestruck by was the High Priest Redplume behind Gongyang Lie!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s eleven disciples, each one was a leviathan of a region, an existence in charge of a region.


    But they were all very puzzled in their hearts. Who was this True God Realm junior standing beside Lord Gongyang?


    Which True God Realm junior had the qualifications to stand beside Lord Gongyang?


    Could it be a disciple that High Priest Redplume recently took in?


    Gongyang Lie waved his sleeves grandly and said coolly, ��All come and pay respects to Lord Second Sage.��


    Everyone trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan with disbelieving faces.


    ��He �� He��s the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest chose? So young!��


    ��A mere True God Realm can actually overpower 11 great disciples, what capability does this kid have!��


    ��Based on what? A punk like this, based on what can he overpower High Priest Redplume? I��m not convinced!��


    �� ��


    Below, a commotion immediately came from the group of Empyreans. Clearly, they were stunned by Gongyang Lie��s introduction.


    But after the shock, each and every one of these Empyreans�� faces revealed indignant looks.


    Those present were all the Westspirit Region��s elite Seven-star priests. They were all supporters of High Priest Redplume.


    If High Priest Redplume��s eldest senior brother, High Priest Cloudcave, was conferred ��Second Sage��, they naturally would not say anything.


    However, Ye Yuan was too young, and his realm was too low.


    Such a young man who suddenly appeared wanted to ride on top of High Priest Redplume��s head, how could they be convinced?


    The red-haired powerhouse, Xin Luo, bowed and said, ��Lord Gongyang, please pardon us for being impolite. This junior in front of us is merely a thousand over years old. His realm is merely late-stage rank six. Letting him become Second Sage, we truly can��t accept it!��


    ��Yeah, Lord Gongyang! Letting us bow to a junior like this, we��re seriously unconvinced!��


    ��Lord Gongyang, saying something unpleasant first. If we bow to him, can he afford to accept it?��


    �� ��


    There was a hubbub below. Clearly, they were extremely averse to this Second Sage who suddenly appeared.


    High Priest Redplume they all, fellow apprentice brothers, those were all top powerhouses among Heavenly Emperors.


    Among Eight-star priests, they were all apex existences.


    Even such a top character was unable to become Second Sage, but a junior became Second Sage.


    These people did not say certain words out, that was whether or not Sacred Ancestor High Priest was muddle-headed with age.


    A few years ago, Sacred Ancestor High Priest announced to the demon race that he was conferring Ye Yuan as Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    No one knew who Ye Yuan was, where he popped out from.


    This announcement was vague, only saying that Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength was immensely formidable, and he had once resolved the Eternal Chess Game, ��Ask Not��.


    There was nothing else.


    In the beginning, everyone was extremely stunned.


    But later, everyone was speculating one after another that Second Sage might be some reclusive powerhouse, an existence on the same level as Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Suddenly coming out and debating on Dao with Sacred Ancestor High Priest and was just a bit inferior, so that was how he was conferred as Second Sage.


    But now, a group of Empyreans suddenly saw a True God Realm. Furthermore, it was even a human, becoming Second Sage and being above them. They were unable to accept this kind of thing.


    Seeing everyone��s fierce reaction, Gongyang Lie did not get angry but was delighted instead.


    Of course, he, an old monster who had lived for no idea how many years, naturally would not show it on his face.


    It was only to hear him snorting coldly. He said, ��Insolence! How can it be up to you all to butt in about the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred? Forget about True God Realm, even if a Heaven Glimpse Realm is here, you all have to prostrate in worship too!��


    The moment a Heavenly Emperor raged, it was as if the entire hall was quaking.


    All of the Empyreans�� faces turned fearful and immediately became silent.


    But each and every one of these Empyreans was also an old monster. They caught some unusual meaning from Gongyang Lie��s words.


    Lord Gongyang had an implicit meaning!


    Sure enough, Gongyang Lie turned to Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Lord Second Sage, your status is noble. Please don��t stoop to the level of a bunch of boorish fellows.��


    Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart. How could he not understand Gongyang Lie��s thoughts?


    Wasn��t acting this out today to take him down a notch?


    If it was really some welcoming ceremony, he should have long given these people a heads-up, and not like this right now, everyone having vacant faces, then completely exploding.


    With his status of High Priest Redplume��s spokesman and a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, if he were to really forcefully suppress, how could these Empyreans dare to speak?


    It would also not be their turn to talk!


    The ��Second Sage�� that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred, even High Priest Redplume did not dare to butt in too.


    But his face had never joy nor sorrow as he said with a faint smile, ��Huhu, I��m going to stoop to their level today!��


    As Ye Yuan smiled, the aura on his body suddenly flared, immediately having a feeling of looking down upon the world.


    Gongyang Lie��s expression changed. He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s reaction would actually be so intense.


    He thought that with so many Empyrean powerhouses, plus him, this Heavenly Emperor powerhouse who lorded over all life, wouldn��t toying with a measly little Ye Yuan still be easily done ?


    But Ye Yuan did not play games with him at all!


    Was this Ye Yuan in front of him who looked down upon the world really that True God Realm kid?


    Gongyang Lie��s eyes could not help going into a trance.


    ��Gongyang Lie, you don��t need to play this kind of outwardly compliant, but inwardly opposing game with me! The demon race has always been lofty and straightforward. If you��re unconvinced by me, just say it right out, don��t need to incite them to come and squeeze me. You��ve taken human form for too long and are about to lose even your ancestor��s guts too, right?�� Ye Yuan questioned.


    Gongyang Lie��s face turned black, nearly spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    Ye Yuan really did not save him any face when opposing him, this Heavenly Emperor.


    If any junior dared to talk to him like this, they would have long been beaten to death by him with a sneeze.


    Yet, this in front of him was the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred, who dared to touch him?


    Him playing a bit of petty tricks in secret was still okay, but to really take action, that was a big no-no for him.


    ��This emperor �� this emperor is unconvinced! Can you, a measly little True God Realm, shoulder the name of Second Sage?�� Gongyang Lie was angered until his face reddened to the ears as he said.


    Below, those Empyrean powerhouses were long already staring dumbfoundedly.


    A True God Realm who dared to oppose a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse; they had lived for several million years, it was still really their first time seeing.


    These two realms were people of two completely different worlds!


    Forget about True God Realm, even Empyrean Realm, a Heavenly Emperor could also smack him to death with one slap.


    With Gongyang Lie��s realm, if he really wanted to kill Ye Yuan, he would not even need a finger.


    Ye Yuan this Second Sage, was really extraordinary!


    ��Hahaha ����


    Hearing Gongyang Lie��s words, Ye Yuan suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��Gongyang Lie, do you feel that Sacred Ancestor High Priest is muddle-headed with age?��


    Gongyang Lie��s face changed and he said in alarm and anger, ��You �� You��re spurting nonsense! Why would �� Why would this emperor have this kind of thought!��


    Ye Yuan smiled indifferently and said, ��Don��t need to hide it. I know that not only you think so, but they also think so! But let me tell you this. I��m indeed not High Priest Redplume��s match right now. But before long, I��ll surpass him!��

 Chapter 2101 - I’m His Opponent

    ��Haha! Surpass Lord Redplume? Just based on you?��


    Gongyang Lie seemed to have heard an extremely hilarious joke, with his expression full of disdain.


    What kind of powerhouse was High Priest Redplume? Gongyang Lie served by his side for so many years and was all too aware.


    Eight million years ago, High Priest Redplume rose up from insignificance, sweeping across the entire Demon Divine Region with his astonishing aptitude.


    Later, he no longer had a match among peers. Hence, he challenged the Eternal Chess Game, ��Ask Not��, making a name for himself in one battle!


    In these eight million years, High Priest Redplume followed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s side. His alchemy strength had long already reached an unfathomable step.


    This young man in front of him wanted to surpass High Priest Redplume?


    Simply a joke!


    Perhaps his talent was really greater than High Priest Redplume. But even if he were to really surpass High Priest Redplume, that would also be no idea how many years later.


    Either way, someone would also believe if I said that I would surpass Sacred Ancestor High Priest ten million years later. Who knew about the matters after ten million years?


    Xin Luo and the rest of the Empyreans also had scornful faces, clearly not believing what Ye Yuan said.


    ��Huhu, yeah, give him eight million years, he might really be able to catch up to High Priest Redplume.��


    ��Lord Second Sage is really incredible! Just don��t know if he can live for eight million years or not!��


    ��After eight million years, I can surpass Medicine Ancestor! Either way, bragging won��t need to be sentenced to death too!��


    �� ��


    The group of Empyreans had scorn all over their faces, with their words full of ridicule.


    Ye Yuan kept a straight face and answered with a question, ��Then have you thought before why Sacred Ancestor High Priest would confer a nobody like me as Second Sage? Does he value my talent highly, or is he really muddle-headed with age?��


    ��This ���� Gongyang Lie was taken aback. Clearly, he had not considered this question before.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s thoughts were not what he could surmise at all.


    Hence, he was totally unable to understand this conferment.


    Currently, Ye Yuan asking this question, all of the Empyreans ceased the mockery, listening attentively with curiosity.


    Clearly, this was also the question that they were most concerned about.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Reaching Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s realm, what is there that he still pursues? That��s naturally the sublime summit of Alchemy Dao! He asked Medicine Ancestor what is Dao, but Medicine Ancestor dodge it with ��Ask Not�� two words. Hence, he asked the world what was Dao! He searched for tens of millions of years and finally found an opponent! That person is me!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was scorching, sweeping across all of the Empyreans�� faces as he said in a solemn voice, ��The title is ��Second Sage�� is hoping that I can become an opponent who is able to sit and debate on Dao with him! Do you all understand?��


    Inside the hall was dead silent. Everyone was stunned by Ye Yuan��s arrogant to the extreme speech.


    They were not convinced by Ye Yuan��s speech but utterly stunned by Ye Yuan��s wild arrogance.


    What kind of existence was Sacred Ancestor High Priest?


    In the demon race, he was a god!


    He created numerous demon race Heavenly Emperors with his power alone!


    Presently, the demon race��s top major powers virtually all revered Sacred Ancestor High Priest as supreme.


    Even though they all, these disciples, were presently all leading figures of a region, facing Sacred Ancestor High Priest, they still carried out the etiquette of a disciple. No one dared to talk about becoming his opponent.


    Now, a True God Realm brat actually said that he was going to become Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s opponent.


    This was simply laughable to the extreme!


    ��I-Ignorant! Arrogance! Sacred Ancestor High Priest is the Heavenspan World��s universally acknowledged number two Alchemy Dao person! For several tens of millions of years, no one had dared to challenge him. You actually said that you��re going to become his opponent?�� Gongyang Lie berated.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said coolly, ��What does a swallow know of the aims of a swan! No matter how strong a powerhouse is, they also walked over step by step from a weakling! You all don��t even dare to think about it, so you naturally can��t become a powerhouse like Sacred Ancestor High Priest. The logic of experts is lonesome; you all naturally won��t understand too.��


    Ye Yuan was just elaborating on a fact, but this way of saying things was simply ignorant and conceited in the eyes of everyone. In their eyes, he was a mad man.


    The group of Empyreans was thoroughly stunned!


    Originally, when Ye Yuan said that he wanted to surpass High Priest Redplume, they felt extremely shocked.


    Now, Ye Yuan directly brought Sacred Ancestor High Priest out, saying that he wanted to become his opponent.


    ��Huhu, a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, chatting about these with you all, you guys also won��t understand. Gongyang Lie, don��t you want to take me down a notch? Then I��ll give you this opportunity! Today, I��ll have a Dao debate with the Seven-star priests present. As long as there��s someone among you who can defeat me, I��ll leave immediately and never enter the Demon Divine Region for life!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment these words came out, Gongyang Lie��s eyes lit up.


    He was long dissatisfied with this arrogant to the extreme fellow. Since he was looking for abuse himself, and even said never to enter the Demon Divine Region, this sort of word, then it could not be blamed on others.


    Xin Luo��s two eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a cold smile, ��Lord Second Sage, this is what you said!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I said it! If even you these people can beat me, then I don��t want this title of Second Sage too!��


    Xin Luo laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Lord Seven-star really talks wildly! The strength of a Seven-star priest isn��t what you can imagine!��


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, �� My strength isn��t what you all can imagine too!��


    Xin Luo��s two eyes narrowed slightly, turned to an Empyrean, and said, ��Since that��s the case, Priest Woodgem, you come and seek guidance from Lord Second Sage then.��


    Empyrean Woodgem chuckled and said, ��I obey your command! However �� what we��re competing in is demon divine pills. Lord Second Sage mustn��t compete in human divine pills with this Empyrean. This Empyrean can��t refine it.��


    The moment these words came out, it immediately incurred a wave of hooting laughter.


    Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head and said, ��Relax, will be competing in demon divine pills.��


    Demon divine pills or divine pills already did not have much difference to the current Ye Yuan.


    In the end, all roads lead to Rome.


    Regardless of whether demon divine pills or divine pills, they were merely two branches of Alchemy Dao. Just like how the poison path and medical path were the same.


    The Priest Temple naturally did not lack a place to refine medicine. Xin Luo ordered people to prepare the place to compete in alchemy very soon.


    Ye Yuan two people were currently making preparations when Gongyang Lie asked, ��How is Woodgem��s strength? He mustn��t lower the prestige of our Redplume lineage!��


    Xin Luo smiled and said, ��Your Excellency, rest assured. Younger Brother Woodgem is of the woodspirit physique to begin with. He has extremely high talent in alchemy. Furthermore, his realm already reached peak late-stage Dao Realm. Among these people, he��s also an existence that can rank into the top ten. Wouldn��t dealing with a mere Six-star priest still be easily accomplished?��


    Gongyang Lie nodded slightly, immediately setting his mind at ease.


    Although he was not a priest, following by High Priest Redplume��s side for so many years, he naturally knew the strength difference between the priests.


    Someone who was a peak late-stage Dao Realm powerhouse was already an extremely powerful expert in alchemy.


    Judging from Ye Yuan��s age, even if he had heaven-defying talent and reached late-stage Dao Realm, it was also impossible to be Woodgem��s match.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Ye Yuan two people started the alchemy battle.


    Bang!


    Empyrean Woodgem was a woodspirit that attained Dao in the first place, his advantage in refining pills was tremendous.


    The moment his aura was released, those spirit medicines were as obedient as his children.


    His demonic attraction art was already at a high degree of proficiency.


    But when everyone��s eyes landed on Ye Yuan, they could not help exclaiming in admiration.


    ��What sharp and fierce demonic attraction art! How can a human cultivate the demonic attraction art to such a boundary?�� Xin Luo marveled in admiration.

 Chapter 2102 - That Sentence Before

    ��This demonic attraction art has probably already reached the realm of divine connection, right?��


    ��Ashamed, ashamed! This Empyrean cultivated the demonic attraction art for no less than a million years, and I��m still actually unable to reach the realm of divine connection!��


    ��To be able to be called Second Sage, this boy is indeed incredible!��


    �� ��


    The group of Empyreans broke out with marvels. Clearly, they had their breaths taken away by Ye Yuan��s demonic attraction art.


    Xin Luo��s gaze carried some shock and carried some puzzlement.


    The strength of demonic attraction art determined the quality of the medicinal pill to a very large extent.


    Hence, the demon race viewed the demonic attraction art with utmost importance when refining pills.


    However, being able to cultivate the demonic attraction art to Ye Yuan��s level, Xin Luo had never seen before!


    The demonic attraction art was divided into four levels, entry, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, and grand completion.


    But there were still three levels above these four levels, they were respectively profound intent, divine connection, as well as Dao descend[1].


    The demonic attraction art was the foundational skill of demon divine pills. Its importance went without saying.


    The first four levels, as long as one practiced diligently, they would be able to reach it.


    But the latter three levels already reached the level of Dao and was not what bitter cultivation could attain. It depended on one��s comprehension ability.


    The priests present were all major powers of the demon race, being Seven-star priests. The majority of these people could cultivate to the profound intent realm.


    It was just that there was not one that reached the divine connection realm!


    But now, a human cultivated the demonic attraction art to the divine connection realm! How could they not be ashamed?


    Actually, to Ye Yuan, the demonic attraction art was not complicated. Actually, it was just control over demonic divine essence.


    And with regards to precise control of divine essence, how many people in this world could compare to him?


    Coupled with his profound understanding of Alchemy Dao, reaching the divine connection realm was not surprising.


    It was just that this scene to the group of Empyreans was sufficiently shocking.


    Gongyang Lie furrowed his brows and said in a solemn voice, ��What? His demonic attraction art is very impressive?��


    Xin Luo smiled bitterly and said, ��More than impressive! Even if ordinary Eight-star priests were here, they also won��t dare to say that their demonic attraction art is stronger than his! As for me �� I��m ashamed of my inferiority!��


    A hint of surprise flashed across Gongyang Lie��s eyes. He was a layman in refining pills. He just ran errands for High Priest Redplume.


    It was High Priest Redplume who forcefully pushed him to Heavenly Emperor Realm with the power of medicinal pills.


    Xin Luo��s strength, he roughly knew about it. Xin Luo was an apex existence among those in the Empyrean Realm.


    Now, even he actually said that he was ashamed of his inferiority. So it could be seen how strong Ye Yuan��s demonic attraction art was!


    ��Then this battle �� Woodgem will lose?�� Gongyang Lie said rather hesitantly.


    Now, he was already not quite confident.


    Xin Luo shook his head and said, ��The process of refining demon divine pills is extremely complex. Demonic attraction art is just one aspect. Lord Gongyang, rest assured. Woodgem��s realm and foundation are absolutely not what a thousand years old junior can compare to. This battle still doesn��t have any suspense!��


    Only after hearing this did Gongyang Lie set his mind at ease.


    However, things did not develop in the direction that they imagined.


    The two people did not carry out the competition of Alchemy Dao aura in their alchemy battle. However, seeing the actual scene of refining pills, Ye Yuan��s pill refinement was like an ensemble of nature itself, as if developing a world.


    In comparison, although Woodgem��s pill refinement was impressive, it was lacking that hint of flavor.


    Those present were all experts among experts. So they could tell the quality at a glance.


    Just this trace of flavor, it would likely be hard for Woodgem to go past it in this lifetime.


    Xin Luo��s expression became more and more serious. The puzzled look on his face was becoming thicker and thicker.


    He was unable to imagine, that such a young priest, why would he not produce any mistake when refining pills?


    No weakness to exploit!


    This was the impression that Ye Yuan��s pill refinement gave Xin Luo!


    ��Condense! Haha, refining the Nine Palace Demon Divine Pill this time, this Empyrean��s state is an unprecedented good! Whatever Second Sage, a mere Six-star Alchemy God, how does he know what is pill refinement!��


    The moment Woodgem condensed the pill, because his state was too good, he could not resist laughing out loud.


    It was just that when he came back to his senses, he discovered that something was not quite right.


    There was actually no one answering!


    Looking again, everyone was using strange eyes to look at him.


    ��W-What��s wrong with everyone? Why are you using this kind of eyes to look at me?�� Woodgem said with a baffled look.


    Xin Luo threw a small bottle to him and said with a sigh, ��You take a look for yourself.��


    Woodgem probed with his divine sense and immediately turned stiff on the spot.


    Woodgem was completely defeated!


    Following that, several more people challenged Ye Yuan, all taking out the medicinal pill that they were more adept in.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, they were still utterly defeated.


    Gongyang Lie was long already dumbstruck with amazement.


    A Six-star priest swept across the Westspirit Region��s Seven-star major powers?


    This kind of thing was simply like a fantasy tale.


    Finally, Westspirit Region��s number one Alchemy Dao person, Xin Luo, also stepped forward to challenge Ye Yuan, and was still completely defeated!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin Luo and shook his head and said, ��A vast Westspirit Region actually can��t find a single Ancestor Realm. No wonder the demon race��s Alchemy Dao has always been suppressed by the human race!��


    This place gathered the entire Westspirit Region��s strongest batch of Seven-star priests. However, not one person reached Ancestor Realm.


    Ye Yuan originally even thought that Xin Luo could reach Ancestor Realm and give him some threat.


    It was just that sadly, Xin Luo only reached half-step Ancestor Realm too. There was still a step away from Ancestor Realm.


    When everyone heard Ye Yuan��s words, they could not help having ashamed looks on their faces.


    However, there was more shock in their hearts still!


    Ancestor Realm powerhouse!


    Second Sage was actually an Ancestor Realm powerhouse!


    A thousand over years old Ancestor Realm powerhouse, this was simply a mythical existence!


    Xin Luo heaved a sigh and bowed in salute as he said, ��Second Sage is mighty, Xin Luo is wholeheartedly convinced!��


    Right at this time, a cold snort transmitted over. A figure stepped into the hall.


    ��Humph! What dogfart Second Sage? Pretending to be mysterious! You all are really a bunch of trash! The Westspirit Region��s face is utterly lost by you guys!��


    Following the voice and looking over, the faces of the group of Empyreans turned fearful.


    ��We pay respects to Priest Crimsonsky!��


    Seeing the arrival, the group of Empyreans bowed in unison.


    A young man dressed in cotton clothing slowly came up to the high platform. He bowed slightly toward Gongyang Lie, and he said, ��I pay respects to Uncle Gongyang.��


    When Gongyang Lie saw the arrival, his eyes could not help lighting up. He said with great joy, ��Huhu, good! Good! Crimsonsky is here! This emperor can rest assured!��


    Crimsonsky sized Ye Yuan up and said with a contemptuous look, ��Don��t think that entering Ancestor Realm, you��re remarkable. Want to be mentioned in the same breath as Master, you��re still a million years too early!��


    Ye Yuan��s face turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��What did you say just now?��


    Crimsonsky gave a cold snort and said, ��I said that you��re still a million years too early! Are you deaf?��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a cold snort, ��The previous sentence!��


    Crimsonsky was taken aback and immediately smiled coldly and said, ��I said that you��re some dogfart Second Sage, pretending to be mysterious. What? Could it be that I said wrongly?��


    Gongyang Lie��s face changed, noticing that things were not good.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan shouted in a great rage, ��Where did this impudent person come from, to dare be so insolent! Gongyang Lie, does High Priest Redplume discipline apprentices like this? To look down on even their own grand-master?��


    Crimsonsky��s face changed wildly, immediately knowing that he misspoke.


    The title Second Sage was personally conferred by Sacred Ancestor High Priest, but he actually said dogfart Second Sage. Wasn��t this slapping Grand-master��s face?


    He only saw Ye Yuan sweeping across the Westspirit Region just now and let slip his mouth due to a moment of indignance. He did not expect that Ye Yuan would use his words as evidence.

 Chapter 2103 - : Kneel Down

    ��This �� This �� I �� I ���� Crimsonsky��s face reddened to the ears, stammering heavily, not knowing how to explain.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was sharp and fierce as he said with a cold cry, ��Kneel down!��


    Crimsonsky trembled all over, raising his head high as he said with refusal to give in, ��Based on what to make me kneel down?��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��I��m the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred. In terms of status, I��m even above your master, High Priest Redplume! Even if he saw me here, he also won��t dare to be as impudent as you. Why? I��m not allowed to make you kneel? Or is that to have me go and reason it out in front of High Priest Redplume?��


    All of the Empyreans were silent like cicadas in winter. No one expected that once Ye Yuan exploded, the commotion would actually be so shocking.


    Just now, Crimsonsky was still ordering people here and there by pointing with a finger when he came in. But at this time, he did not even dare to breathe loudly anymore.


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan said was also very reasonable.


    Even if High Priest Redplume was here, he also would not dare to rebut Ye Yuan to his face.


    Otherwise, why would Gongyang Lie play this kind of small trick where he was agreeable in public while opposing in private?


    Crimsonsky��s expression flickered incessantly and looked toward Gongyang Lie pleadingly.


    Gongyang Lie let out a slight sigh, but he had yet to open his mouth when he heard Ye Yuan say with a cold laugh, ��You want to plead on his behalf? Then your meaning is that he blasphemed Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s face and doesn��t need to be punished?��


    Gongyang Lie choked when he heard that and could only say to Crimsonsky, ��Sigh, get on your knees!��


    This matter, he really could not help Crimsonsky anymore.


    If it reached the ears of Sacred Ancestor High Priest, this issue could not be settled no matter what.


    Unless, he killed Ye Yuan.


    But there were so many people present. So who dared to kill the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred?


    Crimsonsky stood there with a face of struggle.


    As High Priest Redplume��s proud disciple, Crimsonsky gathered myriad glory on him and always had his eyes at the top of his head. When had he suffered such humiliation before?


    It was just that the prestige of the Sacred Ancestor did not allow provocation!


    This point, he could still weigh the relative importance.


    ��Kneel down!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan gave a cold cry. Crimsonsky trembled and knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a thud.


    The group of Empyreans was completely stunned. Crimsonsky was actually punished by someone; he was to kneel toward that person.


    They should not look at how each and every one of them was a Seven-star priest, comprising of middle and late-stage Empyrean mighty experts. In front of Crimsonsky, they were still a head lower.


    Crimsonsky was arrogant, but he also had the capital to be arrogant.


    He only used 8000 years and reached Ancestor Realm in Alchemy Dao. He was the fastest to reach Ancestor Realm among all of High Priest Redplume��s disciples.


    This kind of talent, coupled with his identity as High Priest Redplume��s disciple, was sufficient for him to do as he pleased in the Westspirit Region.


    Hence, when these Empyreans saw Crimsonsky, they all had to bow respectfully.


    But now, he was punished with kneeling toward someone else!


    Ye Yuan looked down from a height and denounced sharply with a scowl, ��Crimsonsky, do you know your crime?��


    How proud and arrogant was Crimsonsky? He was about to explode on the spot but he saw Gongyang Lie winking at him non-stop, and he could not help being startled.


    ��Crimsonsky knows his crime!�� Crimsonsky gritted his teeth and said.


    How sly and cunning was Gongyang Lie? He was far from what Crimsonsky, this guy, who grew up soaking in a honey jar, could compare to.


    At this time, the more Crimsonsky retorted, the more miserable the outcome.


    In fact, if it really went out of control in the end and Ye Yuan ordered people to kill Crimsonsky, no one would dare to say a word of no either.


    Offending the Second Sage was equivalent to offending Sacred Ancestor High Priest. Killing you was you getting off lightly!


    Fortunately, Crimsonsky was not stupid and understood Gongyang Lie��s meaning very quickly. He could only swallow his pride and endure in silence.


    ��Good that you know your crime! Now, this sage punishes you to kneel and repent in front of the Sacred Ancestor��s statue for half a month. Do you accept the punishment?�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Crimsonsky suddenly lifted his head, his gaze full of rage.


    The Demon Divine Pill Convention was about to happen right away, how numerous were the demons coming and going in front of the Sacred Ancestor Plaza?


    But he had to kneel for as long as half a month in front of the statue. Wouldn��t he become a laughingstock for everyone?


    This guy definitely did it on purpose!


    ��Mn? Do you feel that you weren��t wrong?�� Ye Yuan��s voice gradually became cold.


    Crimsonsky glared at Ye Yuan, his eyes spewing fire as he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Crimsonsky �� received the punishment!��


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly and said coolly, ��Go on!��


    Crimsonsky��s chest was practically about to explode. Carrying limitless grievances, he came in front of the Sacred Ancestor��s status and knelt down.


    All of the Empyreans were dumbfounded. Crimsonsky came in a threatening manner, clearly to find Ye Yuan to fight for supremacy. In the end, he barely said a few words and was punished to kneel before the Sacred Ancestor��s statue. This really made everyone��s jaws drop.��


    But many people felt that Ye Yuan was overwhelming others with his influence, and he was actually scared of Crimsonsky.


    Crimsonsky was different from them. Even though he was just First Firmament Empyrean, he was a genuine Ancestor Realm powerhouse.


    Who was stronger among the two was really hard to say.


    Ye Yuan was afraid of losing the face of Second Sage. That was why he did not dare to take action.


    Yet, Crimsonsky himself even slammed onto the spearhead, selling himself with the first sentence he said when he ran in.


    Ye Yuan would not care about what these people thought, directly leaving with his hands behind his back.


    ��Looking at what? Never seen before others repenting in front of the Sacred Ancestor? Scram!��


    In the plaza, Crimsonsky��s roars transmitted over from time to time.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan ignored what Crimsonsky was thinking. He still had an objective of coming to this Westspirit Region, which was to search for some spirit medicines to refine pills to break through the bottleneck of late Origin Pill Realm.


    Reaching Origin Pill Realm, Ye Yuan finally realized how horrifying the cultivation method he cultivated was.


    Now, with each minor realm that he broke through, the spiritual energy required was virtually several times of the same rank.


    One had to know, True God Realm cultivation was easily calculated with tens of thousands of years. Several times of this was several tens of thousands of years of spiritual energy.


    This massive amount of spiritual energy, even if Ye Yuan had the help of medicinal pills, the advancement speed was also extremely slow.


    In the past, he could break through a minor realm in 10 years to 20 years. Now, he needed at least several decades or even 100 years before he could do it. This was still after Ye Yuan swallowed no idea how many top grade medicinal pills before he had this speed.


    Otherwise, with the spiritual energy quantity of Origin Pill Realm, ordinary martial artists might not be able to break through a minor realm in 100 thousand years too.


    Ye Yuan reached peak Sixth Firmament Origin Pill a few years back. It was just that the medicinal pills in his hands were all consumed entirely during his way to the land of extreme north. It was still a step away before he could break through the bottleneck.


    The Demon Divine Pill Convention this time, it naturally could not do without all kinds of spirit medicines. Ye Yuan naturally could not make this trip in vain.


    ��Young Master, you��re really too incredible, to actually even become the demon race��s Second Sage! You don��t know, the Northernmost Steppe��s demons are ferocious. But they are so docile in front of you.�� Lu-er followed by Ye Yuan��s side with an idolizing look.


    Loneswan and Yang Fei-er followed behind the two people, with their expressions and emotions being complicated.


    Yang Fei-er followed Ye Yuan this half a year. Under the assistance of Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills, she already broke through to be a Ninth Firmament True God.


    This kind of cultivation speed, she did not even dare to think about it in the past.


    While Lu-er having obtained Ye Yuan��s help, her cultivation speed was even more terrifying.


    Yang Fei-er practically saw Lu-er every day and discovered that her aura was growing non-stop. It was simply too monstrous.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��Silly lass, do you think that Second Sage is so easy to be? Right now, no idea how many people staring at me in this Demon Divine Region!��


    Lu-er smiled and said, ��I don��t care, either way, Young Master is the most impressive!��


    The few people were currently chatting when they brushed past a group of men and women.


    Suddenly, a red-haired and barebacked youth in the front furrowed his brows, and he turned around to look at Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2104 - Domineering

    The red-haired youth��s eyes lit up as he said with some surprise, ��What thick Qilin bloodline power! That young man definitely has my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure on him!��


    By the side, a beautiful girl nodded and said, ��I also felt it, Big Brother Yun, that person �� seems to be a human.��


    The red-haired youth frowned and said, ��How can my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure land in the hands of a human? Come with me!��


    Done talking, the red-haired youth brought the few people and stepped forward, blocking Ye Yuan four people.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his face revealing a doubtful look. He did not seem to have offended these few people before.


    The red-haired youth had an interrogating look on his face as he said in a solemn voice, ��Human, do you have my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure on you?��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and immediately thought of the Qilin emperor bone. Could it be that these few people were of the Qilin Clan?


    The Qilin Clan��s bloodline was noble and not inferior to the dragon race. They rarely walked around outside. He did not expect that he actually ran into them here today.


    Looks like this Qilin Clan might have some secret art that was able to feel bloodline power, that was how they would sense the Qilin emperor bone on him.


    But even if he was of the Qilin Clan, being stopped by this bunch of brainless people, and even had an appearance of you owe me money, why would Ye Yuan go along with it?


    Ye Yuan had long thought it over in his heart, but did not show the slightest bit on his face as he said coolly, ��So what if I do, so what if I don��t?��


    The red-haired youth said in an overbearing manner, ��Humph! Then it means you do! How can my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure fall in the hands of a human? Hurry up and hand it over!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he did not get angry but laughed instead. This person��s logic, ordinary people really could not understand it.


    ��Hur hur, if I don��t hand it over?�� Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said.


    The red-haired youth smiled coldly and said, ��Human, you probably don��t know about my Qilin Clan��s awe-inspiring reputation, right? Even Sacred Ancestor High Priest also has to give in to our Qilin Clan a little! You dare to forcibly occupy my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure. Have you thought about the consequences properly? I��ll give you a chance now! Hand over the precious treasure, then kowtow and admit your fault to us. This matter will be considered dropped! Otherwise, humph humph!��


    The red-haired youth did not finish speaking, but the meaning was already very clear.


    It was just that these words sounded all the more ridiculous to Ye Yuan.


    Could it be that these guys did not come into being for a long time and their brains were rotted?


    There was no lack of people purchasing natural treasures in the marketplace. Seeing that there was a show to watch, a large group naturally crowded around.


    But when they heard that these youngsters were of the Qilin Clan, everyone��s faces revealed surprised expressions.


    ��They are actually of the Qilin Clan! Weren��t they normally in the Qilin pseudo world? Why did they come into being?��


    ��I heard that the Qilin Clan��s talent is extremely strong. Nobody is a match in the same rank at all. Jumping realms and challenging is also commonplace!��


    ��That human kid actually provoked the Qilin Clan. He��ll probably suffer a big loss.��


    �� ��


    In the demon race, some races were natural kings, with their strength far surpassing those in the same rank.


    Such as Ye Yuan, it was as easy as eating and drinking for him to jump realms and battle with the dragon race��s cultivation method and martial technique.


    Later, he attained the perfect sixth transformation golden body, his strength even one-shotting those in the same rank.


    The Qilin Clan��s talent was virtually equivalent to the dragon race, their strength could be seen at a glance.


    This red-haired youth��s strength was late-stage rank six, being roughly equivalent to the human race��s Eighth Firmament True God, his strength closing in on peak rank six.


    In everyone��s eyes, Ye Yuan was naturally far from a match.


    It was just that even a clay bodhisattva had some anger too. This red-haired youth repeatedly made trouble out of nothing, and even wanted him to kneel down and beg for mercy. It finally aroused Ye Yuan��s anger.


    ��Is that so? Also not afraid of telling you, I really have a Qilin Clan��s treasure on me. It��s just �� come and get it yourself if you have the capability,�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    The red-haired youth did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all. Looking at Loneswan behind Ye Yuan, he said with a cold smile, ��Your reliance is this Empyrean, right? Huhu, Uncle You is also an Empyrean, I believe he won��t be weaker than that Empyrean behind you.��


    Behind the red-haired youth, there was a middle-aged man glaring, his aura restrained. People did not expect that he was actually an Empyrean.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Really so much crap! Would dealing with a trash like you still need to rely on others?��


    The red-haired youth laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Haha �� It��s still my first time hearing that someone dares to say that my Qilin Clan is trash. Brat, if I don��t tear you apart today, who will still respect my Qilin Clan in the future?��


    Done talking, the red-haired youth surged with blood vitality. A powerful bloodline power suddenly erupted.


    The shock of the commotion was even somewhat stronger than a Ninth Firmament True God.


    When everyone saw this power, their faces suddenly changed.


    Everyone said that the Qilin Clan was powerful, but that was all just legends. There were barely any who had really seen before.


    But the strength that this red-haired youth exhibited currently actually made him have an impulse of submitting.


    At this time, they finally knew how powerful the Qilin Clan was.


    The red-haired youth��s long hair fluttered, both hands seizing two clusters of fire, as if he was stepping on fire-wind wheels[1].


    He looked at Ye Yuan coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��Kid, I give you one last chance. Hand over the Qilin precious treasure, kneel down and admit your fault. I��ll spare you from death! Otherwise, when my fist lands, it will be hard for you to want to live!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��Looks like your family��s elders didn��t teach you how to behave before coming out. Today, I��ll take action on behalf of your family��s elders, and teach you properly.��


    The red-haired youth��s face turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Punk, it��s you who is courting death! You can��t blame me! Fire Qilin Blessing!��


    The red-haired youth struck a fist out, the entire street seemed to be set on fire.


    Qilin was a fire-attribute divine beast, its power boundless. It was indeed not fake.


    Boundless power of law thoroughly wrapped Ye Yuan up and did not give him the chance to escape at all.


    ��The Qilin Clan is indeed powerful. This punch, probably even a peak rank six will also be blown up, right?��


    ��This kind of inheritance martial technique, when cultivated to the peak, it has the power to obliterate heaven and earth. It really makes people envious!��


    ��Sigh, that kid is also asking for it. People want the Qilin Clan��s treasure, just give it to him. Why seek death himself?��


    �� ��


    There was a series of exclamations coming from all around. They were all shocked by the red-haired youth��s punch.


    At the same time, they also secretly shook their heads, feeling that Ye Yuan was too insensible.


    He did not have strength, yet guarded the treasure to the death, was there a need?


    ��Do you think that only you have bloodline power? Then I��ll let you take a look at what��s called a true Qilin bloodline!��


    Bang!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan��s body erupted with an extremely powerful blood vitality. The might of the momentum was actually even above the red-haired youth!


    When people from the Qilin Clan saw this, each and every one of their faces suddenly changed.


    Ye Yuan��s perfect sixth transformation golden body was extremely restrained. Not taking the initiative to release it, outsiders could not tell at all.


    Hence, in everyone��s view, Ye Yuan was merely a peak Sixth Firmament True God human martial artist. How could he withstand the red-haired youth��s punch?


    Completely erupted at this time, how outrageous was the commotion?


    Only to see him throw an ordinary punch out, not using any martial technique at all. Qilin bloodline power surged to the sky!


    Bang!


    With two fists meeting, the red-haired youth fell back more than ten steps in a row before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    While Ye Yuan did not budge an inch!


    The red-haired youth��s eyes went wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said, ��How is that possible? Your Qilin bloodline power is actually even stronger than mine!��


    [1] [Annotation text missing]

 Chapter 2105 - Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space

    It was not just the red-haired youth. Everyone present looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    The demon race��s bloodline power could be grafted. Humans frequently extracted the demon race��s bloodline power.


    But no matter how it was grated, it was unable to surpass the original race��s bloodline power.


    But now, Ye Yuan, a human��s bloodline power, was actually thick to such an extent. How could they not be shocked?


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Is it very strange to be stronger than you?��


    By the side, Uncle You said with a cold snort, ��Humph! Stealing Qilin bloodline, deserve to die ten thousand times over! Qi Yun, don��t hold back, kill him!��


    Qi Yun��s face turned cold, and he said with a nod, ��I didn��t expect that taking this trip out, I actually really ran into someone who isn��t afraid to die, to even dare to steal my Qilin Clan��s bloodline power too. Forget it. Since that��s the case, I��ll send you off then!��


    Finished talking, Qi Yung��s two hands came together, two clusters of fire combining into one.


    A surge of mysterious power instantly reverberated between heaven and earth.


    Behind Qi Yun, the figure of a giant beast slowly emerged.


    The enormous beast opened its gaping maws. That appearance was like it was going to swallow the sky and devour the earth.


    This enormous beast was naturally the Qilin divine beast.


    ��This �� This is the Qilin Clan��s innate divine ability, Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space!��


    ��It��s said that once this move is unleashed, even the void can be devoured! Its power is tremendous!��


    ��To be able to execute Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space, this red-haired youth��s status in the Qilin Clan definitely isn��t low!��


    �� ��


    Feeling Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space��s horrifying power, there were cries of exclamations from all around.


    Although demons like the Qilin Clan were reclusive and did not emerge, there were legends about them in this world.


    The Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space was precisely the Qilin Clan��s powerful hallmark.


    After the demon race cultivated to a certain realm, they would awaken their innate divine abilities.


    It was just that to legendary divine beasts like the Qilin, their innate divine abilities were especially terrifying.


    In terms of strength, this Qi Yun was inferior to Feng Tianyang. But by relying on an innate divine ability like Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space, Feng Tianyang might not be Qi Yun��s match too.


    The awakening of this kind of innate divine abilities had nothing to do with the power of laws. It was only related to the source of Great Dao.


    In other words, it was heaven bestowing a gift!


    And this was the powerful reliance for the demon race to be able to exist side by side with the human race.


    Witnessing Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space, everyone looked at Ye Yuan very pitifully.


    They could tell that Ye Yuan touched the Qilin Clan��s reverse scale.


    Qi Yun looked down from a height, looking at Ye Yuan with cold eyes as he said with disdain, ��So what if stole Qilin bloodline? How can my Qilin Clan��s true strength be what you can imagine? Once Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space is unleashed, even the void can be devoured. You �� can go with peace of mind!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space is it? As luck would have it, I also awakened it.��


    ��You? Awakened the Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space? Hahaha �� mn?��


    When Qi Yun heard Ye Yuan��s words, he could not refrain from laughing wildly. But laughing halfway, it suddenly ceased, like a duck which had its throat stuck.


    Because Ye Yuan��s body suddenly erupted with a powerful undulation!


    This undulation was actually exactly the same as his!


    Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space!


    Behind Ye Yuan, a behemoth Qilin similarly appeared.


    Two Qilins faced each other, not giving an inch.


    The entire place was dead silent. The Qilin Clan looked at that figure in the void, shook to the core.


    Uncle You said in shock, ��How is this possible!? This human��s Qilin bloodline is actually powerful until it can awaken innate divine abilities?��


    Ye Yuan pointed at the void and shouted coldly, ��Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space, devour for me!��


    Qi Yun��s pupils constricted and he gritted his teeth and said, ��So what even if you know Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space? Kill for me!��


    Bang!


    Two Qilins were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, tearing crazily in the void.


    The city��s sky immediately turned dim. Endless spiritual energy was being devoured. Ye Yuan two people��s figures were immediately swallowed up by the darkness.


    In an instant, berserk energy undulation swept throughout the entire city, alarming countless powerhouses.


    ��Is this the innate divine ability of the Qilin Clan? Indeed ridiculously strong!��


    ��Even if a peak rank six clashes with them, they would probably be directly swallowed up too, right? This power is too frightening!��


    ��Just which of the two of them won? Completely can��t tell!��


    �� ��


    When the martial artists in the city were discussing animatedly, a figure dropped down from above the void. Uncle You��s face changed, leaping up.


    The one who fell was precisely Qi Yun.


    The current Qi Yun was already unconscious, injuries all over his body. It was as if he was torn apart by something.


    Clearly, he already sustained extremely severe injuries.


    Following that, another figure stepped out of the void, his figure elegant. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Seeing this scene, the powerhouses below became wide-eyed.


    What kind of situation was this?


    The counterfeit Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space defeated the authentic Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space?


    How could this human be so monstrous?


    Uncle You shouted fiercely and reproached, ��Punk, to dare hurt Qi Yun, you��re courting death!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I already said to teach him how to behave on behalf of his elders. Natural treasures are obtained by those fated for it. This is the Heavenspan World��s norm. I went through all kinds of hardships and perils, obtaining the Qilin treasure at death��s door, but you want it back with a word and even want me to kneel and admit my fault? What kind of logic is this?��


    Uncle You��s face turned frosty and he said in a solemn voice, ��My Qilin Clan��s words is the logic! Kid, this Empyrean will send you on your way right now!��


    Done talking, Uncle You raised his hand and it was a fist.


    Except, Loneswan was long prepared, directly clashing a fist with Uncle You.


    Loneswan��s realm was a level higher than Uncle You, but Uncle You��s bloodline power was powerful. The two people barely managed to be evenly-matched.


    Uncle You��s expression was extremely ugly as he said with a cold snort, ��Kid, if you don��t give an explanation today, forget about leaving here!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��With the likes of you?��


    At this time, a figure stepped out of the void. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said in a cold voice, ��He can��t, then what about me?��


    The one who came out was an old man, his aura extremely powerful. Looking at him, he was a late-stage Empyrean peerless powerhouse too.


    When Uncle You saw the arrival, he was immediately overjoyed. Bowing in salute, he said, ��Qi You pays respect to Lord Chen! This boy ����


    Qi Chen interrupted Qi You��s words with a hand gesture and said coolly, ��This Empyrean knows.��


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Brat, hand over the Qilin precious treasure. Then end your life yourself to atone for your crime, saving this old man from having to take action.��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and shaking his head when he heard that and said, ��Looks like your Qilin Clan has its leaders setting a bad example, and its subordinates following suit! Indeed all shameful. Still that sentence, the treasure is on me, come take it if you have the capability.��


    Qi Chen��s gaze turned cold and he said with a cold smile, ��Kid, you��re very courageous. Since that��s the case, then this Empyrean will come and take it.��


    Loneswan��s face changed and was about to block in front of Ye Yuan, but heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��It��s fine, let him come over.��


    Loneswan was taken aback and could only retreat to the side.


    A powerful aura completely locked onto Ye Yuan. This Qi Chen was indeed a late-stage Empyrean mighty expert.


    The powerhouses in the city looked at Ye Yuan with doubtful faces, like looking at a fool,


    They did not understand just where Ye Yuan��s confidence came from.


    Could it be that he thought that he was invincible under the heavens by grasping Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space?


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and did not have the intention of making a move. He wanted to see when those old things planned on taking action.

 Chapter 2106 - Unrelenting

    A palm attacked, carrying the power to crush heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, unperturbed and fearless.


    Just as everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure, a figure manifested itself.


    Xin Luo took a step out of the void and caught Qi Chen��s palm, saying with a smile, ��Huhu, Brother Qi Chen please calm your anger.��


    The powerhouses in the city were suddenly enlightened. No wonder Ye Yuan dared to be so arrogant. It turned out that his backer was this strong.


    With Qi Chen being blocked, his brows could not help furrowing. He said in a solemn voice, ��Xin Luo, what��s the meaning of this?��


    Xin Luo gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance, thinking to himself that this boy was too cunning. He had probably long known that they were watching the show, so he simply did not move, forcing them to come out.


    They all were dissatisfied with Ye Yuan and all wanted to watch Ye Yuan suffer a loss.


    But Ye Yuan was cool as a cucumber under Qi Chen��s pressure and did not have any appearance of being in a tight corner.


    ��Brother Qi Chen, he can��t be touched!�� Xin Luo said in a grave manner.


    ��Humph! Merely a human brat who stole a demon bloodline. Why can��t he be touched?�� Qi Chen said with a cold snort.


    ��Brother Qi Chen has just come into being and might be unaware, but this �� is the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred!�� Xin Luo said helplessly.


    Qi Chen��s face changed, looking at Ye Yuan with a stupefied look.


    When the martial artists in the city heard this, each and every one of them was incredibly shocked.


    ��What? He��s the legendary Second Sage? This �� He is also too young, right?��


    ��Really blinded my dog eyes! Why would Second Sage be a human? Furthermore, he is only at the True God Realm?��


    ��What capability does this boy have, to dare be called Second Sage? Is Sacred Ancestor High Priest cracking a joke with us?��


    �� ��


    Qi Chen naturally understood what Second Sage meant. It was just that his face was full of disbelief as he said, ��Huhu, is Brother Xin Luo joking around with this Empyrean? What kind of existence is Sacred Ancestor High Priest? Why would he confer a human True God Realm as Second Sage?��


    Xin Luo smiled bitterly and said, ��When this Empyrean first met Second Sage, I had the same idea as you. But how can Xin Luo dare to joke around with the name of the Sacred Ancestor High Priest? This is indeed our demon race��s newly established Second Sage! Furthermore, Lord Second Sage��s alchemy strength, we have also witnessed it before and are wholeheartedly convinced!��


    Qi Chen naturally understood in his heart that Xin Luo would not joke about this kind of thing.


    But this matter was a little too inconceivable.


    If he was really Second Sage, he really could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Although he was powerful, he was still far too lacking from the Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s level.


    Although the Qilin Clan did not fear Sacred Ancestor High Priest, it was still not worthwhile to lose all decorum with Sacred Ancestor High Priest for a treasure.


    ��Humph! Even if this is the case, he stole my Qilin Clan��s bloodline and took possession of my Qilin Clan��s treasure. He even injured a member of my Qilin Clan. Could it be that it��s dropped just like this?�� Qi Chen said in a solemn voice.


    ��This ���� Xin Luo could not help having an awkward look.


    This matter was originally you all making trouble out of nothing, alright? Now, you��re even going from bad to worse.


    The Qilin Clan had not come into being for a long time and really did not know about the ways of the world at all.


    The treasure that people obtained, that was naturally theirs. How was it your Qilin Clan��s?


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Do you still want face, old thing? Fine, since you want the treasure, I��ll give it to you right now! But I want to see if your family��s ancestor will acknowledge you, this unfilial grandson or not!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan flipped his hand over, a crystal clear jade bone was already held in his hand. It was precisely the Qilin emperor bone.


    The moment the emperor emerged, an archaic power immediately filled the world.


    Inclusive of Xin Luo, everyone opened their eyes wide, staring fixedly at the emperor bone in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    The Qilin Clan��s people even trembled all over, as if all the bloodline power in his bodies were ignited.


    The powerhouses in the city all revealed heated gazes. They were clearly moved by the Qilin emperor bone.


    If not for there being so many Empyrean powerhouses present holding the line, the city would probably have already become a deathmatch pit at this time.


    ��Qilin �� emperor bone!�� Qi Chen practically squeezed these few words from the crevices between his teeth, his gaze full of intense heat.


    How could Ye Yuan not understand these people��s gazes? But he did not pay any attention.


    The emperor bone was spiritual. He only obtained the emperor bone��s recognition after going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties.


    Even if Qi Chen killed him right now, he also could not bring away the Qilin emperor bone at all.


    Amidst everyone��s stupefied gazes, Ye Yuan casually threw and tossed the emperor bone to Qi Chen.


    Qi Chen��s gaze turned sharp, stepped into the void, attempting to grab the emperor bone in his hand.


    However, just as he was about to grab the emperor bone, a blazing white light suddenly erupted from within the emperor bone.


    Qi Chen was caught off-guard, his entire person akin to being struck by a heavy blow, figure flying out backward. A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out wildly, already suffering heavy wounds.


    Then, the emperor bone flew one round in the air and returned to Ye Yuan��s hand again.


    Even when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was somewhat astounded too.


    Initially, when Jian Sutao attempted to seize the emperor bone, he was also merely burned by the emperor bone, that was all.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that the Qilin emperor bone was actually even more ruthless toward its own descendants.


    But he also understood that the Qilin emperor bone was standing up for him.


    ��Impossible! This is impossible! How can the Qilin emperor bone acknowledge an outsider as its master? You �� Just what method did you use?�� Qi Chen ignored his injuries and pointed at Ye Yuan as he roared.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I said long ago, the treasures of the world had their own regulations and laws and can��t be compelled. If it��s yours, others can��t snatch it away. If not yours, you can��t keep it! You only know that I obtained the treasure, but you don��t know what I paid for the treasure. But you pledged in all solemnity here, saying that the treasure is owned by your Qilin Clan? Truly ridiculous and laughable!��


    Seeing this scene, those originally heated gazes gradually withdrew.


    Since the Qilin emperor bone already acknowledged a master, no matter how hard others worked, it was also useless.


    Even if they killed Ye Yuan, they also could not get the Qilin emperor bone��s recognition. It was also impossible for them to bring it away.


    It was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan dared to take it out.


    Qi You smiled bitterly and said, ��No wonder his Qilin bloodline is so thick, and he even awakened an innate divine ability! It turns out that he actually obtained the Qilin emperor bone��s recognition.��


    By the side, Qi Yun already woke up and said in a solemn voice, ��Even if there��s the emperor bone��s recognition, for him to be able to awaken an innate divine ability at this age, his talent already surpasses the vast majority of the clan members!��


    Awakening innate divine abilities was an extremely difficult thing. It was not that it could definitely be accomplished by possessing the emperor bone.


    For Qilin Clan, being able to awaken innate divine abilities at Qi Yun��s age was already very remarkable.


    But Ye Yuan was clearly even more talented than them.


    ��No way, this Qilin emperor bone is extraordinary, we must bring it back to the clan!��


    Qi Yun��s gaze turned intent, stepping onto the void, he pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��Since you��re Second Sage, I believe that your alchemy strength must be extremely strong, do you dare to wager?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Qi Yun and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh? Bet on what?��


    Qi Yun said sternly, ��My Big Brother, Qi Zhen, is the Qilin pseudo world��s distinguished alchemy talent among the young generation. Do you dare to bet with him? If you lose, leave behind the emperor bone!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said coolly, ��Then �� what will you guys use to bet against me?��

 Chapter 2107 - Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill

    Qi Yun could not help being stunned. He did not expect that not only did his suggestion not scare Ye Yuan, the other party seemed like a hungry wolf that saw a little lamb instead.


    That kind of eyes made him very uncomfortable.


    Being counter-asked by Ye Yuan, he froze.


    After all, since it was a wager, they also had to take out an equivalent treasure.


    Treasures that could rival the Qilin emperor bone, he could not make the call.


    ��Heh, really gutsy! Do you really think that you��re invincible under the heavens after being conferred Second Sage? This Empyrean can make the decision to take out the Qilin Clan��s peak Empyrean spirit treasure, Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle. With this bottle, you can execute another innate divine ability of the Qilin Clan, Jadecleanse Truefire! Since you obtained the emperor bone��s recognition, you should know the power of this innate divine ability! Using it to bet with the emperor bone should be sufficient!�� Qi Chen spoke up.


    The moment these words came out, Qi You and Qi Yun��s faces changed drastically.


    ��Elder Chen, you mustn��t! The Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle is our clan��s precious treasure! How can it be easily brought out to wager with him?�� Qi Yun��s face changed as he said.


    Even Xin Luo turned pale with fright and cried out in surprise, ��Is Brother Qi Chen overly agitated? I heard that an Empyrean powerhouse of your esteemed clan had once wielded the Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle to execute the innate divine ability, being evenly-matched in strength with a human Heavenly Emperor powerhouse! This kind of precious treasure, you��re actually taking it out to bet?��


    Qi Chen smiled coldly and said, ��That��s right! However �� this Empyrean is very confident in Qi Zhen��s alchemy skills. He��ll let this Second Sage know what��s called a frog at the bottom of a well!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up and he said with a grin, ��Okay, deal!��


    He naturally knew about this innate divine ability. This was an innate divine ability that required Empyrean Realm before it could be awakened, its power immense.


    As soon as it was executed, it could virtually obliterate heaven and earth!


    This Jadecleanse Truefire was different from Feng Tianyang��s low level martial technique. If it was executed, even if Ye Yuan was proficient in spatial law, it would also be insanely difficult to want to escape.


    As long as he got this Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle, Ye Yuan would have one more trump card, his strength would surely increase greatly.


    Being a peak empyrean spirit treasure, this was already a pinnacle-most treasure in the Heavenspan World.


    In terms of value, it was not the slightest bit inferior compared to the emperor bone too.


    Furthermore, now that Ye Yuan obtained the Qilin bloodline, using this empyrean spirit treasure would be just right.


    As for that so-called Qi Zhen, he really did not take him seriously.


    In this Heavenspan World, if Eight-star Alchemy Gods did not emerge, there would really barely be anyone that could surpass him in Alchemy Dao.


    ��Humph! Just you laugh, you��ll cry later!�� Seeing Ye Yuan��s determined appearance of getting it, Qi Chen��s anger flared out of the blue.


    ��When the time comes, the one who cries will probably be you,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    �� ��


    Returning to his residence, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion to refine pills.


    ��Master, what medicinal pills can these spirit medicines refine? I��ve never heard of it.�� Loneswan looked at the pile of spirit medicines in front of him and asked with a frown.


    The pill formulas of rank six spirit medicines, with his status as a Seven-star Alchemy God, he naturally knew a lot.


    But the spirit medicines that Ye Yuan sourced for this time, he could not find the appropriate pill formula even after digging deep within.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You naturally haven��t heard before. This is the pill formula that I created. It��s called Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill.��


    Loneswan opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, ��The �� The pill formula that you created yourself? Then �� how is it compared to the Heavenly Mandate Secular Forgetting Pill?��


    Ye Yuan answered with a question, ��What do you think?��


    Loneswan swept a glance over these spirit medicines and said hesitantly, ��If refining a medicinal pill with these spirit medicines, it will probably at least be two times and above of the Heavenly Mandate Secular Forgetting Pill, right?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If it��s just two times, what am I refining it for? The same grade Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill, the medicinal effect is five times and above that of the Heavenly Mandate Secular Forgetting Pill!��


    ��F-Five times? M-Master, this �� this ���� Loneswan opened his eyes wide, stammering until he already could not speak.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew why Loneswan was shocked. Once this pill formula was brought out, it would absolutely set the world on fire. Probably the entire Heavenspan World��s alchemy world would have tumultuous waves stirred up.


    It might even startle the Medicine Ancestor.


    The improvement of ordinary medicinal pills, being able to increase 10% of the medicinal effect was already very impressive.


    Compared to this Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill, those pill formulas that Ye Yuan brought out in the Southern Border were simply weak to the max.


    The shock in Loneswan��s heart simply could not use words to describe.


    Ye Yuan was able to create such a heaven-defying medicinal pill, then would there still be other medicinal pills that he newly-created in his hands?


    Once these medicinal pills surfaced in the world, a sanguinary slaughter was bound to be stirred up in the Heavenspan World.


    The allure of this kind of pill formula was too great!


    But what was even more appealing was still Ye Yuan this person!


    Once this matter was exposed, Ye Yuan would surely fall into a dangerous situation.


    A person who was able to create a pill formula with five times the medicinal effect, that was simply an existence that was going to defy the heavens.


    It was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan kept a tight-lip towards outsiders.


    Loneswan already proved his loyalty. That was why Ye Yuan would let him come and observe the refinement of the Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill.


    ��Huhu, good that you know. Don��t leak half a word about this to the outside,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Loneswan��s expression became somber, and he immediately raised his hand to the sky and swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.


    The implications of this matter were too great. Loneswan being so sensible, his painstaking efforts were not in vain.


    Swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath, Loneswan did not have any dissatisfaction but was very happy instead. Because this represented that Master already trusted him immensely.


    Otherwise, how could he let him know about this kind of earth-shaking important matter?


    It seemed like he was indeed not wrong in abandoning Jiu Luo Ji��s foundation and following Master!


    When the pill refinement started, Loneswan became more and more shocked in his heart.


    The complexity of refining the Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill and the brilliance of the technique, he never saw these in his lifetime.


    Loneswan knew that Ye Yuan��s refining speed was extremely fast and the quality was extremely high.


    But this single mere rank six divine pill, Ye Yuan actually expended one entire day��s time.


    ��Turned out that this is Master��s true strength!�� When Ye Yuan finished refining, Empyrean Loneswan sighed with admiration.


    He had seen before Ye Yuan taking action, and he even fought with Ye Yuan before.


    But the alchemy strength that Ye Yuan displayed in front of outsiders was merely the tip of the iceberg.


    And this Voidrush Grand Spirit Pill was the major accomplishment of Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength!


    Only at this moment did Loneswan know how superficial his understanding of Alchemy Dao was.


    He also had a never-before resolve to follow Ye Yuan.


    After Ye Yuan adjusting his breathing for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��How��s the harvest?��


    Loneswan said respectfully, ��Akin to dispelling the clouds and seeing the bright moon!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re a Seven-star Alchemy God, and you are already very close to the Great Dao. When Master refines pills in the future, you follow by the side and experience it with all your heart.��


    Loneswan��s face revealed great joy, and he said respectfully, ��Many thanks, Master!��


    This kind of pill refinement that was close to Dao, ordinary people did not even have the chance to experience it. This was a massive lucky chance, so how could Loneswan not be happy?


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Withdraw. Master is going into closed-seclusion.��


    Loneswan answered respectfully and withdrew.


    Experiencing the pill refinement by Ye Yuan��s side this one day, with his rank seven soul force, he actually could not quite bear it anymore too.


    He had to go back and rest, then digest the comprehension he had this time carefully.


    Half a month later, a powerful aura rose to the sky inside the secret chamber.


    Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Seventh Firmament Origin Pill!

 Chapter 2108 - Aggrieved

    Chapter 2108: Aggrieved


    ��Master, that Crimsonsky has already been clamoring outside for many days, saying that he wanted to challenge you in front of the entire city.��


    The moment Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Loneswan came up to greet him.


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up and he said with a smile, ��Oh? Go out and take a look.��


    The two people walked out of the front door and discovered that outside the door there was already a huge crowd of people.


    Challenging the Second Sage, this sort of thing, and in addition to it being in front of everyone in the city, there was naturally tremendous appeal.


    Furthermore, the people present already knew that Crimsonsky was High Priest Redplume��s disciple. His strength was bound to be extremely strong.


    These two people��s alchemy battle would absolutely be unusually exciting and extremely worth seeing.


    ��Lord Second Sage, Crimsonsky is unworthy but wants to challenge you!��


    ��Lord Second Sage, do you see it? Everyone is looking forward to you taking action!��


    ��Lord Sacred Ancestor High Priest, huddling up like a turtle, wouldn��t you lower Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s reputation?��


    �� ��


    Outside the front door, Crimsonsky shouted at the top of his voice, his voice spreading all around.


    These people were probably mostly summoned by his loud voice.


    But he became wiser this time, calling ��Lord Second Sage�� time and again, not daring to have the slightest bit of arrogant action.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Crimsonsky��s eyes lit up. He then gave a bow toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Lord Second Sage, Crimsonsky has been waiting here for a long time!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You want to challenge me?��


    Crimsonsky nodded and said, ��Right now, everyone in the city is saying that Lord Second Sage��s name falls short of reality. A mere Six-star priest at the True God Realm, how can he take on the name of Second Sage? Hence, Crimsonsky has come forward on my own accord and wants to request Lord Second Sage to give a pointer or two in front of the demons in the entire city, so as to rectify the name of Lord Second Sage.��


    ��Yeah, Lord Second Sage! If you want to obtain our recognition, then take out a bit of strength!��


    ��We really want to see on what basis you become the Second Sage!��


    ��Not letting us see your strength, we absolutely won��t acknowledge that you��re Second Sage!��


    �� ��


    The ones that came to crowd around, quite a number of people were all priests and thought very highly of Second Sage this title.


    With Crimsonsky saying so, it immediately aroused many people��s resonance.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly. His heart was like a clear mirror.


    Crimsonsky, this kind of person whose eyes were at the top of their heads, it was impossible to have this kind of cunningness. There was definitely someone plotting at the back.


    But since he dared to come to Westspirit Region, he naturally did not fear challenges.


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of amusement on his face and said smilingly, ��Can defeating you prove the title of Second Sage? Crimsonsky, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself, right?��


    Crimsonsky could not help choking when he heard that. The others were also directly tongue-tied.


    Yeah, what kind of existence was Second Sage?


    That was an Alchemy Dao powerhouse second only to Sacred Ancestor High Priest. How could a mere Crimsonsky be mentioned in the same breath?


    Crimsonsky discovered that in front of Ye Yuan, he was a complete and utter noob.


    He was like a ball of clay, Ye Yuan could knead him however he wanted.


    Really aggrieving!


    ��Lord Second Sage, are you avoiding my challenge?�� Crimsonsky gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan avoiding and not fighting with this as the reason right now, no one dared to say a word of no.


    You want to challenge me, you were totally not qualified enough!


    ��Huhu, why would this sage avoid the battle? Telling you all this is just to let you understand your statuses! I know that you think that by reaching Ancestor Realm, you are conceited and think that you can challenge this sage. Then this sage will let you understand how great the disparity between you and I is!��


    Crimsonsky��s brows raised up, and he said with a big laugh, ��That��s what you said!��


    ��I said it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    �� ��


    Second Sage and High Priest Redplume��s disciple, Crimsonsky��s battle, swept throughout the entire city like the wind.


    In the plaza, there were massive crowds of people. Not even a needle could be poked in.


    The demon race��s priests all raked their heads, wanting to squeeze a little closer.


    On the stage, Crimsonsky looked at Ye Yuan with a smug look and said with a smile, ��Lord Second Sage, the humiliation that you gave me these few days, I��m going to claim it all back.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp and he said in a solemn voice, ��Humiliation? You��re saying that you showed no respect to your superiors and then I punished you to kneel and repent; it��s humiliation?��


    The moment Crimsonsky heard, he almost bit his tongue off.


    How aggrieving!


    A little carelessness and he fell into the pit again.


    Making him maintain a modest and polite mentality toward a person whose realm was even lower than his was seriously too hard.


    When talking, a moment of carelessness that he would reveal his true colors.


    ��N-No, I �� I didn��t mean that. What I��m saying is, Lord Second Sage please guide me well,�� Crimsonsky said stammeringly.


    In front of so many people, if he was punished with kneeling again by Ye Yuan, it would really be a huge loss of face.


    Today was making Ye Yuan lose face, not make himself lose face.


    Crimsonsky secretly hated in his heart, swearing that he would definitely make Ye Yuan lose very horribly!


    But Ye Yuan was secretly laughing in his heart, but was calm on the surface as he said, ��Relax, this sage will guide you well.��


    Humph, humph, when the time comes, who guides who is still not known! Just you be smug, you��ll be crying later! Crimsonsky smiled coldly in his heart.


    He was extremely confident in his strength and that he absolutely would not lose to Ye Yuan.


    This fight also attracted the attention of many parties.


    On an inconspicuous watchtower, Gongyang Lie stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood Xin Luo.


    Crimsonsky��s deflated appearance was naturally taken into his sights in its entirety.


    Gongyang Lie could not help shaking his head and he sighed and said, ��Crimsonsky��s talent is indeed great, but his experiences are too little. He isn��t Ye Yuan��s match at all!��


    Xin Luo smiled and said, ��Huhu, I believe that this fight will also be of tremendous help to Lord Crimsonsky. He was eyed by Lord Redplume at a very young age and his road was smooth-sailing. In terms of scheming, he naturally can��t compare to Second Sage.��


    Gongyang Lie��s gaze was sharp as he said, ��This Ye Yuan, I have no idea what background he has either. He��s young, but he is like an old monster in the way he conducts himself. He is proud, but he doesn��t look down on everyone and everything. He is domineering, but he also doesn��t lose the sense of propriety. Even this emperor also has to be careful in front of him.��


    Xin Luo also said in agreement, ��Second Sage this title is virtually utilized by him to the extreme. He didn��t consider everything and everyone beneath his notice because he is the Second Sage, but he also used the title of Second Sage to pressure us until we can��t breathe. He truly is a troublesome character.��


    Gongyang Lie��s gaze landed on the Ye Yuan far away and asked, ��How high do you think Crimsonsky��s chances are for this fight?��


    Xin Luo smiled and said, ��This battle, Lord Crimsonsky will definitely win!��


    Gongyang Lie said in surprise, ��Oh? Why is that?��


    Reaching Ancestor Realm was reaching another world.


    Whoever was stronger or weaker was really hard to say.


    Gongyang Lie also had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan��s talent indeed surpassed everyone, including Crimsonsky.


    Xin Luo seemed to know what Gongyang Lie was thinking and said with a smile, ��Talent is one thing, but strength is another. If we don��t reach Ancestor Realm, we don��t have any strength to fight back at all in front of Ye Yuan. But Crimsonsky stepped into Ancestor Realm a thousand years ago, while Ye Yuan had merely stepped into it for several hundred years at most, or even shorter. In addition, Lord Crimsonsky was taught by High Priest Redplume. Letting him out this time, the goal is to probe Ye Yuan��s strength. This indicates that High Priest Redplume feels very optimistic about Crimsonsky! If I must choose one among the two of them, I��ll naturally pick Crimsonsky!��

 Chapter 2109 - Textbook Example

    On a watchtower with an extremely good line of sight, the Qilin Clan��s powerhouses were all present.


    Qi Chen looked in the distance and slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Qi Zhen, you have to watch this alchemy battle well. Although I don��t think that he can beat you, the implications of this matter are too great, so you mustn��t be careless.��


    Beside Qi Chen, a young man with a cold face stood with his hands behind his back. He was precisely Qi Zhen.


    Qi Zhen was the Qilin Clan��s young generation��s number one alchemy genius, his strength formidable.


    Although he was of the young generation, Qi Zhen was actually more than 30 thousand years old already.


    ��To talk about emperor bones, our Qilin Clan also has quite a few left behind by ancestors. Could it be that this emperor bone is different in some way?�� Qi Zhen asked curiously.


    Qi Chen nodded and said, ��I sensed an extremely ancient aura from this emperor bone. Compared to the emperor bones in the clan, it seems to be more nobler and more mysterious! I feel that this emperor bone must be hiding our clan��s big secret inside it. Hence, we must get it!��


    Qi Zhen was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting that Qi Chen would actually be so serious.


    ��Uncle Chen, rest assured. I won��t lose!�� Qi Zhen said coolly, revealing powerful confidence.


    �� ��


    This fight was anticipated by all.


    On that day, when everyone knew that Second Sage was actually a True God Realm, the entire city was shaken.


    There were criticizing voices everywhere in the city. There were questioning voices everywhere.


    And today, whether Second Sage was worthy of the title or failed to live up to the name, it was also time to examine it.


    High Priest Redplume��s proud disciple, an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, this was clearly the most ideal testing stone to test Second Sage��s strength.


    ��Lord Second Sage, you watch carefully. This is my Redplume lineage��s Nero Heavenwalk Technique! I��ll use it today to tell you that you��re not worthy to be called Second Sage!��


    Crimsonsky gave a cold cry, a profound aura suddenly erupted. It was as if there was only him alone left in this entire world.


    Waves of profound and inscrutable aura transmitted out of the medicinal cauldron, revolving around Crimsonsky.


    This was the aura of Dao!


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help letting out waves of exclamations.


    The Demon Divine Region was vast, the powerhouses numerous. But Ancestor Realm powerhouses were extremely hard to encounter.


    One had to know, even a major power like Xin Luo was also merely a half-step Ancestor Realm.


    ��This is Ancestor Realm? Indeed a celestial figure! Lord Crimsonsky is well-deserving of being High Priest Redplume��s proud disciple!��


    ��This is the aura of Dao! Lord Crimsonsky completely drew out all of the power of law inside the spirit medicines!��


    ��Too impressive! This is genuine pill refinement! Compared to Lord Crimsonsky, we��re simply trash!��


    ��Whatever dogfart Second Sage, he��s weak to the max when compared to Lord Crimsonsky!��


    �� ��


    In the plaza, fanatical voices could be heard all around. Many people were instantly turned into fans by Crimsonsky.


    When had these people seen before Ancestor Realm powerhouses take action? The moment Crimsonsky made his move, they naturally felt incomparably surprised.


    On the watchtower, Xin Luo also had a look of surprise as he said with a sigh, ��This is Ancestor Realm? Lord Crimsonsky has probably already acquired High Priest Redplume��s true legacy. Given time, he might be able to clear Ask Not as well. This battle doesn��t have any suspense!��


    He, this half-step Ancestor Realm, longed for Ancestor Realm immensely.


    It was just that this step was far too difficult!


    Back then, Empyrean Flutterfeather was a half-step Ancestor Realm long ago but kept failing to take the final step and truly step into Ancestor Realm, all the way until he encountered Ye Yuan.


    The so-called Ancestor Realm was actually tracing to the source, and one could already pry into the source of Great Dao, getting to work from the most fundamental, refining medicinal pills.


    Hence, the moment Crimsonsky made his move, he drew out all of the power of law inside the spirit medicines, discarded the dregs, and re-tempered them, forming better quality medicinal pills from there!


    Gongyang Lie also stroked his beard and laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Huhu, although Crimsonsky is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, his talent is indeed extremely high. Even Master is also full of praises toward him! After today, see how Ye Yuan this brat still has the cheek to be called Second Sage!��


    Ye Yuan himself appeared very calm. He was not in a rush to take action but observed Crimsonsky��s pill refinement for a while, and unwittingly shook his head slightly.


    ��Huhu, pill refinement isn��t competing in quarreling, whoever��s voice is louder wins. Today, this sage will teach you a good lesson, and let you know how medicinal pills should be refined.��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan put his hands together. The sky suddenly dimmed, motes of stars manifesting above the sky of the stage.


    Chaos Heavenly Star Art!


    Demonic attraction art activating, Ye Yuan��s entire person transformed into a mirage.


    The power of laws inside the spirit medicines transformed into fine flowing streams, flowing into the stars.


    This scene was unbelievably beautiful!


    Those who were still shouting ��Lord Crimsonsky is incredible�� previously, already shut their mouths sensibly at this time.


    They were already thoroughly dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan��s pill refinement!


    When Xin Luo saw this scene, he could not help staring dumbfounded with his mouth agape, unable to say a word.


    Originally, Crimsonsky had an imposing momentum, attempting to directly crush Ye Yuan until he could not lift his head.


    But very soon, he felt an unparalleled power burst forth, forcefully knocking aside his Alchemy Dao aura, not allowing the least bit of resistance.


    In front of this power, he suddenly felt that he was extremely puny.


    Crimsonsky��s heart shook wildly, he had yet to encounter such a situation before.


    Even when battling on alchemy with his senior apprentice brothers, he also never had this kind of feeling before.


    He felt that the Ye Yuan on the other side was akin to the sky, as though he was the earth, as though he was the entire world!


    This power was too terrifying!


    ��Is �� Is this Ye Yuan��s true strength?�� Xin Luo looked at Ye Yuan blankly, finally blurting out this sentence.


    Gongyang Lie did not know pill refinement, but he also discerned something unusual from Xin Luo��s expression.


    Furthermore, with his Heavenly Emperor strength, he also sensed the aura of the Great Dao source distinctly.


    This aura, even he also felt waves of heart palpitations.


    It was not that this power was too strong, but it was a kind of awe and veneration that came from the bottom of the heart.


    Being born in this world, people would not really fear nothing.


    Mortals revered gods, martial artists revered heaven and earth.


    The current Gongyang Lie seemed to be facing heaven and earth.


    ��Just what is going on? Could it be that �� Crimsonsky froze?�� Gongyang Lie said somewhat disbelievingly.


    Xin Luo turned to look at him and said with a bitter smile, ��This alchemy battle doesn��t have any suspense at all! Heavenly Melody Heartseal Pill is one of the most difficult to refine medicinal pills among rank six demon divine pills, the medicinal properties in the spirit medicines extremely complicated. How to extract the power of law heavily tests the standard of the priest. To Ancestor Realm powerhouses, drawing out the medicinal properties within isn��t hard, but �� Ye Yuan did it too perfectly!��


    On the other side, Qi Chen��s expression was never-before solemn until today. He was also explaining the impressive aspect of Ye Yuan to his fellow clan members.


    ��The complexity of medicinal properties is just like the stars in the sky, with people being unable to handle it at all. Even Ancestor Realm powerhouses also don��t dare to say that they can master it fully. Even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest or Ancestor Si Chen is here, it��s probably also just Ye Yuan��s standard! If we are to say that Crimsonsky��s strength already attained a higher level, then Ye Yuan��s skill can be said to be �� textbook example!��


    Behind Qi Zhen, the faces of Qi Chen and the rest became more and more surprised, and increasingly solemn.


    Qi Zhen��s appraisal of Ye Yuan was too high!

 Chapter 2110 - Rectifying Name

    Qi Chen��s face could practically squeeze water out.


    His heart already sunk to rock-bottom along with Qi Zhen��s words.


    What did Qi Zhen��s words mean?


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Ancestor Si Chen, what level of existences were those people? Qi Zhen actually placed them in the same category with Ye Yuan.


    Wouldn��t this mean that even if Qi Zhen went up, there was not the slightest chance of victory too?


    Qi Zhen was reputed as an existence that was the next Ancestor Si Chen in the Qilin Clan. So how high was his status?


    If not for this, how could Qi Chen pledge in all solemnity to take the Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle out as a wager?


    ��Qi Zhen, then if you took the stage, how much assurance do you have?�� Qi Chen asked with a grim look.


    Qi Zhen shook his head and said, ��No confidence at all!��


    Everyone trembled all over!


    What Qi Zhen said was no confidence at all!


    With Qi Zhen��s strength, how formidable did the strength have to be before it could make him say this kind of words?


    Everyone present understood Qi Zhen very well, his confidence in alchemy, no one could smash it.


    But now, Qi Zhen actually did not even dare to say that he had a 10% chance.


    What kind of concept was this?


    ��This �� How is this possible? Big Brother, you��re an existence that��s going to inherit Ancestor Si Chen��s mantle, so how can you possibly fail to deal with even a Six-star priest?�� Qi Yun said with a look of disbelief.


    Qi Zhen shook his head and said, ��Prior to this, even if I knew that he��s an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, I also wouldn��t feel that he can pose any threat to me. But after witnessing his alchemy skills, I have no choice but to admit that he, this Second Sage, lives up to his name!��


    Lives up to his name!


    This was Qi Zhen��s evaluation of Ye Yuan!


    Everyone was taken aback by shock. When they knew that Ye Yuan was Second Sage, there was more contempt and disdain.


    But now, Qi Zhen gave him such a high appraisal.


    �� ��


    Following Ye Yuan��s pill refinement going in-depth, one stream of flowing light after another flew out of the medicinal cauldron and converged into the stars, shattering and reassembling.


    One light band after another was akin to the aurora; too beautiful to be absorbed all at once.


    In the plaza, countless demons seemed to have been brought into the depths of the starry sky, roaming heaven and earth.


    That kind of feeling made people feel enraptured.


    No shocking and outrageous aura, and also did not raise a shocking commotion that caught people��s eyes. Everyone happened so naturally.


    Under the atmosphere that Ye Yuan created, people already forgot about Crimsonsky, and forgot that they were still battling on alchemy.


    They were only purely admiring, purely experiencing it.


    This alchemy battle became Ye Yuan��s one-man performance.


    Crimsonsky��s Alchemy Dao aura became smaller and smaller. Finally, it became small until it could be overlooked.


    What Qi Zhen said, he could feel it completely. Furthermore, he felt it even more vividly than Qi Zhen.


    This was just a one-time textbook example. Ye Yuan was teaching him how to refine pills and not doing some alchemy battle.


    Alchemy battle?


    What alchemy battle was there still!


    Crimsonsky could not help smiling ruefully in his heart. It turned out that this was Second Sage��s true strength!


    Crimsonsky could feel that Ye Yuan��s realm was only a little higher than his.


    But pill refinement had never been about just the realm.


    Pill refinement was an extremely complicated process. Any minor detail could determine the quality of the medicinal pill in the end.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan performed the other aspects of pill refinement to the limits outside of one��s realm!


    As long as his realm was there, even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest was here, there was no reason he could not have a battle!


    Only at this moment did Crimsonsky truly experience why Sacred Ancestor High Priest would confer Ye Yuan as Second Sage.


    This kind of strength simply had no weaknesses to exploit!


    Unless one completely crushed him in Alchemy Dao realm, otherwise, there wasn��t the slightest chance of victory at all.


    What was even scarier was that Ye Yuan was only less than 2000 years old!


    While him?


    He was called an alchemy genius, High Priest Redplume��s genius, the young generation��s disciples.


    But compared to Ye Yuan, he was already an old man!


    Ye Yuan��s potential was simply unimaginable.


    When everything settled down, that vast starry sea transformed into a formation diagram, and gradually integrated into the medicinal cauldron.


    Pill formed!


    People finally woke up from the shock. All of the gazes were gathered on that young figure on the stage.


    ��Marvelous work of art! Truly a marvelous work of art! Turns out that this is Lord Second Sage��s true strength! The title of Second Sage lives up to reality as well as in name!��


    ��I finally understand why Sacred Ancestor High Priest conferred him as Second Sage.��


    ��Although I couldn��t understand Lord Second Sage��s pill refinement at all, he��s really very, very incredible!��


    �� ��


    At this very moment, there was already no one who questioned Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s decision anymore.


    Ye Yuan defeated the same rank Crimsonsky in a close to crushing manner.


    Within the same generation, he was almost invincible!


    If this kind of person was not fit to be called Second Sage, who was worthy?


    Although there were many demon race priests present, some were even Six-star priests who were more or less the same as Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan��s pill refinement, they could not understand at all.


    Ye Yuan��s realm was far higher than theirs.


    However, this did not hinder them from feeling that Ye Yuan was remarkable. Because this kind of thing could not be faked, and it was clear at a glance.


    Crimsonsky already gave up. There was no meaning at all to him continuing. Although these spirit medicines were very precious, he already lost the courage to carry on.


    He slowly came before Ye Yuan, bowed all the way down, and said respectfully, ��Crimsonsky overestimated his own ability and challenged Lord Second Sage. Lord Second Sage, please deal the punishment.��


    No one felt that Crimsonsky��s action had anything inappropriate. On the contrary, they felt that it was natural and right.


    Crimsonsky��s strength going to challenge Ye Yuan could indeed be called overestimating his ability.


    Although similarly Ancestor Realm, their true pill refining strength was not on the same level at all.


    The current Crimsonsky already put away his arrogance long ago and was respectful like a little student in front of Ye Yuan.


    Toward Ye Yuan, he already prostrated on all fours in admiration.


    He had never thought that there was actually still such an existence among the young generation.


    Actually, many people were clear that Sacred Ancestor High Priest would not shoot at random, but Ye Yuan was seriously too young, young until it made people unable to believe that he could become Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Crimsonsky was likewise the same. Coupled with that he was High Priest Redplume��s disciple, he was even more indignant about Ye Yuan riding on top of his master��s head, that was why he would come and challenge Ye Yuan.


    But now, he actually produced a trace of wavering towards his own master.


    Ye Yuan was just roughly a thousand years old. Ten thousand years later, would his master really be Ye Yuan��s match?


    Crimsonsky did not know, but he knew that the Ye Yuan after ten thousand years would probably have flung him no idea how many streets behind.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Forget it, my realm is right here to see. So it��s normal that you all have doubts. If there��s someone who feels that this sage is unworthy of the title, you can still come and challenge me.��


    Everyone��s faces turned slightly somber. Many people recalled making quite a number of malicious remarks about Ye Yuan previously, saying that Ye Yuan was unworthy of the title of Second Sage. Some even scolded very nastily, and could not help feeling ashamed at this time.


    Crimsonsky hurriedly said, ��Dare not, dare not! Second Sage��s strength, even if my few senior apprentice brothers came, it��s also merely thus. And they are only a little higher than Lord Second Sage��s realm, that��s all. After Lord Second Sage��s realm is there, I��m afraid they won��t be a match.��

 Chapter 2111 - Shameless

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Inside the Priest Temple, Ye Yuan sat high above. Below, stood Xin Luo and the rest of the Seven-star priests, as well as Gongyang Lie.


    At this time, the Seven-star priests�� faces all had ashamed expressions.


    Xin Luo stepped out of the ranks, bowed all the way down, and said in fear and trepidation, ��We have offended Lord Second Sage previously and deserve ten thousand deaths!��


    Gongyang Lie had an embarrassed look as he said with a bow, ��Gongyang Lie has affronted Lord Second Sage. Your Excellency, please deal out punishment.��


    The group of Empyreans could not help being secretly tongue-tied. Even Lord Heavenly Emperor actually acknowledged his fault!


    They had lived to this ripe old age and it was really their first time seeing such a scene.


    But thinking about it, this was also within reason.


    The Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred, his status was even above High Priest Redplume. He could take the bow of a Heavenly Emperor.


    With the talent and strength that Ye Yuan displayed, surpassing High Priest Redplume in the future was also possible.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��This matter ends here. You all were merely made use of by Old Man Sacred Ancestor, why would this sage stoop to your level?��


    Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    But everyone also quaked in their boots when they heard it. To dare call Sacred Ancestor High Priest as Old Man Sacred Ancestor, this was probably one of a kind, right?


    If it were before, everyone would definitely turn their noses up at Ye Yuan��s words.


    But now, they did not dare to butt in at all.


    This was a matter between great gods, so it was not their turn to interject at all.


    Come one day in the future, Lord Second Sage would likely be able to grow to become an existence like Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    However, be that as it may, Ye Yuan was still rather grateful toward Old Man Sacred Ancestor.


    The demon race��s alchemy technique was a unique school of thought and indeed had many areas to glean from.


    Ye Yuan also learned many things from these people.


    Ye Yuan was never an egomaniac. On the contrary, he attached great importance to every alchemy battle.


    While seemingly unconcerned with alchemy battles, Ye Yuan could actually glean knowledge from it every time.


    And it was precisely this kind of accumulation that let him improve at breakneck speeds.


    And this was also precisely what Sacred Ancestor High Priest wanted to see.


    At this time, someone suddenly came to report. The person said, ��Lord Second Sage, the Qilin Clan��s Qi Zhen requests an audience.��


    The moment Xin Luo heard, his brows could not help raising up as he said, ��Qi Zhen? That Qi Zhen which Qi Chen spoke of? Could it be that �� he came to find Lord Second Sage to complete the bet?��


    On that day, Qi Chen made a bet with Ye Yuan in front of everyone.


    This matter, the people present all knew.


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, ��Xin Luo, I heard that these legendary divine beast clans mostly stay reclusive and don��t come out. But why did they appear in Westspirit Region this time?��


    Xin Luo said, ��Actually, this time was High Priest Redplume issuing invitations to the various major pseudo worlds, inviting the strongest juniors in the current era to come out and have an exchange. This Qi Zhen only came because he received the invitation. It��s just that I don��t know why, his journey seemed to have been delayed for a while now. So he only arrived at this time.��


    Ye Yuan felt enlightened in his heart and said, ��In this case, Crimsonsky is here to take part in the convention this time?��


    Xin Luo nodded and said, ��Precisely so.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Then, the dragon race and other races have also arrived?��


    Xin Luo nodded and said, ��Yes. In the past, these races were not willing to interact with the outside world. But this time, they agreed and even sent out quite a few juniors.��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help becoming curious.


    Arriving at the Heavenspan World for so many, he had never heard of the dragon race��s information.


    As a successor of the dragon race, he was also very curious about the dragon clan.


    Looks like this time, he could meet the dragon clan��s powerhouses.


    ��Let him enter,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Before long, a young man with a frost look walked into the hall.


    ��I pay respects to Second Sage.�� Qi Zhen clasped his hands slightly, with his attitude being somewhat haughty.


    Gongyang Lie��s face turned cold and he said, ��Insolence! Seeing Second Sage, how can you be so impolite?��


    Seeing Gongyang Lie, Qi Zhen��s pupils could not help constricting. It was actually a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    However, it was also just a slight surprise.


    With his status in the Qilin Clan, he had seen before many Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    ��That��s your Second Sage, not my Qilin Clan��s Second Sage. What do you want me to do before it��s considered polite?�� Qi Zhen looked at Gongyang Lie and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    Gongyang Lie could not help choking when he heard that.


    These apex divine beast races, each clan��s foundation was unfathomable.


    Not coming into being these countless years, who knew how many powerhouses were hiding inside their pseudo worlds?


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest dominated the Demon Divine Region, but it was also just the Demon Divine Region on the surface.


    Furthermore, Sacred Ancestor High Priest only had a unique school of thought in Alchemy Dao, and could not truly unify the demon race.


    In the demon race, there were still some existences whose strength did not lose to Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    The demon races�� species were numerous. Some races were powerful and not weaker than that of the outside world.


    Just as the Qilin Clan, they had the capital to be haughty.


    Squeezing Gongyang Lie with one sentence, Qi Zhen turned to look at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��I came here to inform you that the arranged battle between you and Uncle Chen previously, isn��t counted.��


    The moment these words came out, the hall immediately burst into an uproar.


    ��What? Something that has been agreed upon, they actually went back on their word?��


    ��This �� This is also too shameless!��


    ��I understand! They must have seen Lord Second Sage��s strength and are afraid of losing to Lord Second Sage, so they don��t dare to compete anymore!��


    ��The Qilin Clan is really shameless!��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of the priests present was extremely indignant.


    This kind of shameless action, the Qilin Clan could actually do it.


    They already acknowledged Ye Yuan, this Second Sage, in their hearts. Now, the Qilin Clan actually did this kind of shameless action, they felt like they experienced it for themselves.


    Qi Zhen��s face turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Everyone, you all had better pay attention to your words. My Qilin Clan isn��t what anyone can bully! Uncle Chen and Second Sage��s arranged bet, I wasn��t present. They also didn��t seek my opinion. This kind of agreement was taken too lightly, so how can it count?��


    Qi Zhen was merely an initial-stage Empyrean, but his bloodline was noble. Saying these words, it had its own majesty.


    Furthermore, the Qilin Clan was incomparably powerful, this was something known to all in the demon race. Really offending the Qilin Clan, it would be hard to clean up the mess too.


    Finished talking, Qi Zhen turned to Ye Yuan again and threatened, ��Second Sage, you seized my Qilin Clan��s precious treasure, it��s equivalent to becoming enemies with my Qilin Clan. Qi Zhen gives you a piece of advice. You��d better send the emperor bone back to the Qilin Clan. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was amused.


    The Qilin Clan��s shamelessness was really cut from the same cloth!


    He looked at Qi Zhen and said with a smile, ��Oh? I wonder what kind of consequences there will be?��


    Qi Zhen laughed coldly and said, ��Second Sage is from the human race and probably isn��t aware of my Qilin Clan��s power yet, right? My Qilin Clan��s strength can rival half of the outside world��s demon races! You, weigh it over yourself then! Farewell!��


    Done talking, Qi Zhen turned around and left.


    ��Halt!�� Ye Yuan shouted coldly.��Did I let you leave?��


    Qi Zhen turned around and could not help laughing as he said, ��What? Based on you, a True God Realm, you also want to make me stay? Or is it that you think they dared to forcefully keep me?��

 Chapter 2112 - Aren’t You Proud?

    Qi Zhen looked at Ye Yuan and said those words with a disdainful look on his face.


    This alchemy battle indeed made him inexplicably shocked, and even have a feeling of being ashamed of his unworthiness.


    But so what?


    Could it be that because of this, the Qilin Clan was going to give away a peak empyrean spirit treasure?


    What kind of concept was an empyrean spirit treasure?


    That was a treasure on the same level as the World Suppressing Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl!


    Such treasures could suppress a region and bring extremely good destiny.


    Ye Yuan being able to rise up heaven-defyingly had an inextricable relationship with these two treasures.


    Such a treasure, even when placed in the Qilin Clan, it was absolutely not a dispensable existence too.


    If not for the Qilin emperor bone being too tempting and too extraordinary, it would be absolutely impossible for Qi Chen to suggest this kind of alchemy battle.


    But now, they discovered that there was no hope of winning at all, and they could only choose this kind of shameless method to end this bet.


    Qi Zhen really did not take Ye Yuan seriously. Even if he was Second Sage, he also could not posture on top of the Qilin Clan��s head.


    ��Is that so? I can��t keep you here, but what about it?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze had a cold look as he slowly took out the emperor bone.


    The moment the emperor bone emerged, a power that seemingly came from great antiquity suddenly descended. All of the powerhouses in the hall felt their shoulders sink, a tremendous pressure descending from the sky.


    Everyone��s faces changed colors!


    On that day, when Ye Yuan took out the emperor bone, he did not trigger the power inside the emperor bone.


    The aura that they felt flowed out of the emperor bone naturally.


    But today, the pressure in the emperor bone was in full bloom. Even these Empyreans felt enormous pressure.


    Of course, it was merely just pressure, it did not give Ye Yuan the power to contend with Empyreans.


    But one person was different!


    That person was Qi Zhen.


    This was an emperor bone from the ancient era, the ancestor of the present Qilin Clan��s ancestor. How noble was the bloodline and how strong was the pressure?


    This kind of pressure originated from the depths of the bloodline and originated from the depths of the soul.


    ��Kneel down for me!��


    Ye Yuan��s cry was akin to the evening drum and morning bell in a monastery. Borrowing the might of the emperor bone, it shook until the great hall quaked incessantly.


    Qi Zhen��s mind told him that he should not kneel.


    However, his body and soul seemed to not heed his orders.


    It was as if there was a demon in his heart, telling him to kneel down, to kneel down ��


    In the midst of Qi Zhen��s trembling, he slowly knelt down.


    One could tell from his body that his entire person was undergoing intense struggle.


    However, it was to no avail!


    Under such a powerful bloodline pressure, his body actually did not listen to orders anymore!


    That instant when Qi Zhen��s knees came into contact with the ground, endless humiliation welled up in his heart.


    He looked at Ye Yuan coldly, eyes bloodshot with rage as he roared, ��Ye Yuan, you dare to humiliate me? Humiliating my Qilin Clan, you��ll die without a burial ground!��


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene dumbfounded with gaping mouths.


    Even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like Gongyang Lie was also staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied at this time.


    A primal variant species like the Qilin Clan, not only were they powerful themselves, the strength of their race was also powerful to the extreme.


    Although he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, when he saw a Qilin Clan��s distinguished talent like Qi Zhen, he also had to give in a little.


    But Ye Yuan actually used this kind of radical method to make him kneel?


    ��Lord Second Sage, this �� is probably not appropriate, right?�� Gongyang Lie said cautiously.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but his gaze looked at Qi Zhen calmly as he said with a cold sneer, ��Isn��t your bloodline noble? Aren��t you incomparably proud? Aren��t you taking advantage of your power to bully people? Aren��t you being shameless? Then let me tell you today, your pride is utterly worthless in front of me!��


    ��I don��t need the Jadecleanse Truefire Bottle. The wager can also be written off. I, Ye Yuan, am not an unreasonable person! But your Qilin Clan is self-assured that your bloodline is noble and looks down on everyone under the heavens, calling off the bet with this kind of shameless method. Turns out that the words of an Empyrean powerhouse are like letting out a fart!��


    ��If it��s like this, forget it too. But you even ran in front of me to swagger and make a show of force, wanting me to hand the emperor bone over with both hands! If it��s once or twice, forget it, but you all really take me, Ye Yuan, to be a soft persimmon, and can be threatened by any random Tom, Dick, or Harry? Mn?��


    Ye Yuan glared fiercely, akin to a celestial deity that descended, giving people a feeling like he was a god.


    When the surrounding Empyrean powerhouses heard Ye Yuan��s denouncing, each and every one of them secretly sighed in their hearts too.


    Indeed, even though Ye Yuan was a young genius comparable to Sacred Ancestor High Priest, he did not have the arrogance that a youth would normally have.


    Even when Crimsonsky was being arrogant in front of him, Ye Yuan also just brushed it off with a smile in the end.


    But this Qilin Clan went too far.


    That matter on that day, everyone present knew.


    When Qi Yun saw Ye Yuan, he said that the emperor bone was the Qilin Clan��s and was extremely overbearing.


    Later, Qi You jumped out and was also like that.


    Then later, Qi Chen, this late-stage Empyrean mighty expert came out and was the same too.


    Discovering Ye Yuan��s identity in the end and knowing that the matter could not be done, he used a wager to seize it by force and trickery.


    However, after witnessing Ye Yuan��s strength, the Qilin Clan went back on their word again!


    If they reneged on their word, forget it, you come and say it nicely.


    Lower your head and admit your fault, perhaps Ye Yuan would not haggle over it anymore.


    Yet, this Qi Zhen made it seem that he was number one under the heavens and ran in front of Ye Yuan to posture. Disregarding canceling the bet with this kind of shameless reason, he even wanted Ye Yuan to hand over the emperor bone with both hands.


    Even a clay bodhisattva had some anger, let alone Ye Yuan, this genius who enjoyed success at a young age and had a status comparable to Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    No matter how easy-going one was, they also had a limit, no?


    It was just that they did not expect that Ye Yuan��s emperor bone actually had such terrifying power, to actually be able to pressure the Empyrean Realm Qi Zhen to directly kneel down.


    ��Aren��t you proud? Isn��t your bloodline noble? Then I��ll trample all of your pride underfoot!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan stomped down, directly stepping on Qi Zhen��s face and stepping onto the floor.


    The enormous force directly stomped until the ground fissured apart.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was not worth mentioning to Qi Zhen. It was just that his face hurt a little.


    But the humiliation in his heart reached the peak at this moment.


    He gritted his teeth and said viciously, ��Ye Yuan, if you have the guts, kill me! As long as you don��t kill me today, I��ll grind your bones to dust and let you know what��s called true remorse!��


    How proud was the Qilin Clan? Today��s incident would become his lifelong smirch. How could he not be enraged?


    But threatening Ye Yuan, he was not worried that Ye Yuan would really do anything to him.


    Humiliating him like this was already the limit that he could do.


    Did he really dare to kill Qi Zhen?


    The consequences of killing him were not what Ye Yuan could bear!


    Except, he underestimated Ye Yuan��s resolve.


    He had always yielded to soft tactics and did not bow to force. Even if a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor came over, he could forget about making Ye Yuan lower his head too, let alone a mere Qi Zhen?


    It was only to see killing intent appear in Ye Yuan��s eyes. The bone sword was already gripped in his hand.


    ��Huhu, you think that with you having the Qilin Clan a backer, I won��t dare to do anything to you? Since that��s the case, then I��ll send you off! I want to see what the Qilin Clan can do to me!��

 Chapter 2113 - Even if You’re a Heavenly Emperor, It Won’t Do Either!

    A hint of disdain flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, the bone sword directly thrusting out.


    A threat of death pounced from head-on.


    Qi Zhen��s expression changed drastically. He did not think that Ye Yuan really dared to kill him.


    Could it be that this guy did not care about the consequences?


    Just as he thought that he was dead for sure, one fine blue thread after another blocked in front of Qi Zhen. Ye Yuan��s bone sword was actually unable to move an inch further.


    The pupils of all the Empyreans present shrunk. That was the Dao mark, the hallmark of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    This kind of power was the might of heaven and earth, mortals were not able to resist it at all.


    When Qi Zhen saw the Dao mark appear, he knew that Gongyang Lie would not passively watch him be killed, and he could not help being overjoyed.


    With a Heavenly Emperor taking action, who else could kill him here?


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned cold and he looked at Gongyang Lie and said in a solemn voice, ��You want to stop me?��


    Gongyang Lie bowed and said, ��Lord Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Qi Zhen��s status in the Qilin Clan is extremely high. He can��t be killed! Once killed, it will surely attract the fierce retaliation of the Qilin Clan. At that time, even Sacred Ancestor High Priest might not be able to protect you too!��


    When Qi Zhen heard that, he seemed to have grasped the final life-saving straw, roaring wildly: ��Ye Yuan, I��m the Qilin Clan��s Alchemy Dao future, Ancestor Si Chen��s successor! If you dare to kill me, you��ll definitely regret it!��


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and said, ��Really cannot change your nature! At this point, you still dare to threaten me?��


    His gaze became cold, and he turned to Gongyang Lie and said icily, ��When this sage is doing things, it��s not your turn to come and butt in! Do you really want to stop me?��


    Gongyang Lie mused for a moment and finally sighed and said, ��Lord Second Sage, I��m doing it for your own good. I also don��t wish for the demon race to fall into internal strife. Let Young Master Qi Zhen leave; this emperor will make my apologies to Lord Second Sage later.��


    In Gongyang Lie��s view, killing Qi Zhen was a huge matter.


    Once they provoked the Qilin Clan, they might come roaring into existence and make the entire Demon Divine Region fall into chaotic times.


    Although Ye Yuan��s title of Second Sage was big, he was merely a True God Realm in the end.


    Gongyang Lie��s respect was completely toward Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and it was not toward Ye Yuan.


    Toward Ye Yuan himself, Gongyang Lie did not have too much awe and fear.


    No matter how breathtaking Ye Yuan��s performance was, that was also just a genius that had yet to grow up.


    He was on a different level from a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like him in the end.


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly. The aura on his body was surging to the sky.


    However, in front of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s strength, Ye Yuan appeared so insignificant.


    His bone sword was still unable to advance the slightest bit.


    Gongyang Lie shook his head and said with a sigh, ��Lord Second Sage, give up. The strength of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, you��re unable to imagine it! This emperor can��t watch you do the wrong thing and go beyond redemption.��


    But right at this time, one fine blue thread after another crept out from Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes also gradually became icy-cold.


    Under the blue fine threads, Gongyang Lie��s power suddenly collapsed with a loud bang!


    Gongyang Lie��s pupils constricted, wanting to make a move again, but it was already too late.


    Puchi!


    The bone sword directly pierced through Qi Zhen��s chest. Violent Sword Dao law destroyed Qi Zhen��s innards wantonly.


    How powerful was Empyrean Realm? But in front of Dao marks, what did it count for?


    Until death, Qi Zhen��s eyes opened wide, clearly not daring to believe everything happening before his eyes.


    How could a True God Realm break through the Dao marks laid down by a Heavenly Emperor?


    At this time, a trace of regret actually arose in his heart.


    If he yielded to Ye Yuan, perhaps it would be a different outcome, right?


    Pride, this thing, would really cause people��s death sometimes.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Lord Second Sage he �� actually broke through Lord Gongyang��s Dao marks!��


    ��What��s that on Lord Second Sage��s body? Could it be �� Dao marks too?��


    ��How can a True God Realm �� possibly use Dao marks? Could it be that my eyesight is failing?��


    �� ��


    Inside the great hall, shocked voices linked up together.


    The shock that the scene which happened just now brought to them was seriously too intense.


    What crept out from Ye Yuan��s body were clearly Dao marks!


    But why would Dao marks that even a half-step Heavenly Emperor powerhouse could not utilize appear on a True God Realm powerhouse?


    But the one who was more shocked was Gongyang Lie.


    He, as a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, naturally understood what Dao marks signified.


    That was truly a power that belonged to Heavenly Dao!


    Only by reaching the realm of Heavenly Emperor could one enter the Dao with their bodies and mobilize the might of heaven and earth to carry out attacks.


    But, Ye Yuan, a mere True God Realm powerhouse actually grasped Dao marks?


    This kind of thing was simply too outrageous to hear.


    At this time, Ye Yuan took back the bone sword and slowly got up. The Dao marks on his body faded away like the tide.


    His gaze was icy-cold. Gongyang Lie meeting eyes with him actually involuntarily shuddered.


    What kind of look was this!


    ��You �� You actually grasped Dao marks! How is this possible?�� Gongyang Lie looked at Ye Yuan and involuntarily asked.


    His heart was completely being filled with questions at this time.


    ��If I, Ye Yuan, wants to kill people, no one can stop it! Even if you��re a heavenly emperor, it won��t do either!�� Ye Yuan��s words seemed to freeze space.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have become a different person.


    The composure on his face had long already disappeared. What replaced it was iciness.


    But different from the last time in the Ancient God Battlefield, the current Ye Yuan seemed to still have a trace of reason remaining.


    With the lesson learned last time, Ye Yuan already did not dare to employ the power of Dao marks too much.


    If not for Gongyang Lie taking action, he would not have utilized it either.


    Gongyang Lie��s face changed, only then, waking up to reality.


    A major issue happened!


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    Gongyang Lie shouted coldly and said furiously, ��You think that by calling you Second Sage, you can be lawless and unbridled? Do you know that you��ve caused huge trouble!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Gongyang Lie coldly and said, ��You think that I, Ye Yuan, can stand here and make you call me Second Sage, what I��m relying on is Sacred Ancestor High Priest? You��re wrong! It��s Sacred Ancestor High Priest who needs me, and it��s not me who needs Sacred Ancestor High Priest!��


    ��Arrogances! Truly wild arrogance! Even if you��re Second Sage, you also can��t compare to Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Furthermore, your action right now dragged the entire demon race into the water!�� Gongyang Lie said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan continued icily, saying, ��If the Qilin Clan comes, I��ll shoulder it alone! You don��t need to worry!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded crowd.


    No one thought that things would actually develop to such an extent.


    The situation presently already reached the degree where it could not be salvaged.


    Looking at Ye Yuan��s distant back view, Gongyang Lie could not help but smile bitterly.


    He also did not expect that he personally took action and actually failed to stop Ye Yuan.


    The Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred was indeed extraordinary!


    �� ��


    Very soon, Qi Chen and the rest were informed of the news that Qi Zhen was killed, and they were naturally extremely alarmed and enraged.


    ��Xin Luo, this Empyrean is going to kill Ye Yuan right now. Don��t you stop me! Even if he��s the Second Sage, killing my Qilin Clan��s alchemy genius, he��ll also have to make amendments with death!�� Facing Xin Luo, Qi Chen was in a towering rage.


    Who knew that Xin Luo just shook his head and smiled bitterly as he said, ��I won��t stop you. It��s just that, I��m afraid that even if you go, you can��t kill Lord Second Sage either!��

 Chapter 2114 - Long Xiaochun

    Hearing Xin Luo��s explanation, Qi Chen was taken aback with shock.


    Indeed, that emperor bone was extraordinary!


    With Qi Chen��s status, he had naturally seen before emperor bones handed down from ancestors.


    But he had never heard of that an emperor bone could suppress bloodline and make the Qilin Clan not have the slightest strength to retaliate.


    Let alone that Qi Zhen was even an Empyrean powerhouse.


    Wouldn��t that mean that as long as Ye Yuan grasped the emperor bone in his hand, he would be in an undefeatable position when facing the Qilin Clan��s Empyreans?


    No way, this emperor bone must be brought back to the clan!


    ��Very soon, Xin Luo, this matter, my Qilin Clan has remembered it. Your Westspirit Region just wait for my Qilin Clan��s wrath! Qi Yun, let��s go!��


    Done talking, Qi Chen brought Qi Yun and the rest along, and then they left in a huff.


    Xin Luo had long somewhat expected this scene. Seeing the situation, he could not help smiling bitterly.


    It seemed like a blood storm could not be avoided anymore.


    Thinking up to here, Xin Luo could not help giving rise to resentment toward Ye Yuan in his heart.


    He vented his hatred but involved the entire demon race in the fires of war.


    After Qi Chen and the rest left, Gongyang Lie��s figure appeared.


    ��Lord Gongyang! What should be done about this matter?�� Xin Luo said.


    Gongyang Lie��s face turned dark and he said, ��What else can we do? If the Qilin Clan comes to denounce us, then there��s only handing Ye Yuan over!��


    Xin Luo��s expression changed drastically when he heard that and said, ��But �� But he��s Lord Second Sage!��


    Gongyang Lie sneered and said, ��So what if Lord Second Sage? The might of the Qilin Clan, it��s also not that you��re not aware. Once a war starts, the entire demon race will definitely suffer a great loss in strength. At that time, can the other various races still be so quiet? Could it be because of Ye Yuan alone, we make the entire demon race fall into a crisis? I think that even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest was here, he would also hand Ye Yuan over without the slightest hesitation. Moreover, saying that he��s Second Sage, he��s currently merely a True God Realm. Who can know how the future will be? This Heavenspan World, the most valuable are geniuses, the least valuable �� are also geniuses!��


    Before geniuses grew up, they were merely geniuses.


    This Heavenspan World, there were geniuses dying every second. It was not lacking Ye Yuan alone.


    Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength indeed made them astounded. But why would a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like Gongyang Lie really pay attention to a genius?


    All of his respect toward Ye Yuan all stemmed from Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Furthermore, Gongyang Lie also had selfish motives.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance already affected High Priest Redplume��s status in the demon race.


    Borrowing the Qilin Clan to eliminate Ye Yuan was also a pretty good choice.


    By the side, Xin Luo��s expression flickered incessantly.


    This kind of thing was already not what he could intervene in.


    �� ��


    Regarding killing off Qi Zhen, Ye Yuan did not have much feeling.


    After returning to his residence, he went into seclusion for ten days and finally completely chased away that icy-cold feeling.


    While using the power of Dao marks could make his strength soar, the consequence was also tremendous.


    Under normal circumstances, Ye Yuan already did not dare to utilize Dao marks anymore.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have too much fear toward the Qilin Clan.


    With the Qilin emperor bone around, even if ordinary Heavenly Emperors came, he could directly suppress too.


    Ye Yuan believed Empyrean Vast Universe��s words more and more. The ancient era��s powerhouses were really incomparably powerful.


    This Qilin emperor bone had been through countless eons and actually still had such powerful might.


    That kind of bloodline suppression, unless the Qilin Clan��s pinnacle heavenly emperors came, otherwise, there was no way to contend at all.


    According to Ye Yuan��s judgment, it was unlikely that a mere Qi Zhen was unlikely to provoke the Qilin Clan��s top heavenly emperors to act.


    In front of a heavenly emperor, empyreans were merely ants too.


    ��Your Excellency, someone is requesting an audience outside.�� Ning Tianping��s voice came from outside the door.


    ��Who is it?�� Ye Yuan went out and asked.


    ��It��s a little girl with a horn growing on top of her head. She said that she came to thank you.�� Ning Tianping said.


    ��Thank me?�� Ye Yuan was at a loss.


    Apart from Yang Fei-er and Lu-er, he did not know any little girl with a horn growing on her head here.


    Arriving at the hall, Ye Yuan indeed saw a little girl with a horn growing on her head. Her appearance was very lovely and cute, making people feel happy when they saw her.


    When Ye Yuan saw this little girl, he actually had a very cordial feeling.


    ��Could it be ����


    Ye Yuan was currently astonished in his heart when that little girl already saw Ye Yuan and came in front of Ye Yuan with a few leaps and bounds, having a pair of large eyes wide open as she said with a beam, ��You��re Second Sage Ye Yuan? It was you who killed Qi Zhen?��


    Ye Yuan was just about to admit it, but was interrupted by the little girl again. She said, ��Hehe, well killed! This young lady has long found that Qi Zhen displeasing to the eye. I came today to tell you thanks. Oh, right! If the Qilin Clan dares to come to find trouble with you, you just report my name. They definitely won��t dare to make things difficult for you! Oh, and also, I��m called Xiaochun[1].��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and asked, ��You��re from the Dragon Clan?��


    Long Xiaochun revealed a look of surprise, and she said in astonishment, ��Eh, how did you know?��


    When demons transformed, their shapes were diverse. Not revealing their auras, one could not differentiate the race.


    But when Ye Yuan saw Long Xiaochun, the dragon race bloodline in his body actually stirred restlessly. How could Ye Yuan still not understand what was going on?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I guessed it. You had enmity with Qi Zhen?��


    Long Xiaochun nodded her head like a rattle drum as he said, ��That guy won against my big brother in an alchemy battle and even flaunted his prowess, saying that my big brother can��t surpass him for life! Tch, don��t their Qilin Clan just rely on fire-attribute law to win by a notch in alchemy?��


    Ye Yuan also secretly nodded when he heard it. This conformed to Qi Zhen��s temper, being overbearing.


    Long Xiaochun sized Ye Yuan up and down and asked with a very curious look, ��I heard that Qi Chen made a bet with you. But in the end, Qi Zhen really did not dare to accept the challenge and canceled the bet with not being present as the reason, and he even threatened you. That��s why he was killed by you; is that so?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��There was indeed such a thing.��


    Long Xiaochun giggled after hearing and said, ��Qi Zhen that fellow is really as cocky as before! But now, he can��t strut around anymore, hahaha ����


    Talking until the back, Long Xiaochun laughed until she shook with laughter, appearing very happy.


    Laughing finish, Long Xiaochun patted Ye Yuan��s shoulder like a little grown-up and said smugly, ��Remember, if those Qilin Clan��s old fellows come to find trouble with you, you just report my, Long Xiaochun��s name, got it?��


    Ye Yuan found it funny. What sorts of existences were the Qilin Clan��s major powers? Why would they fear you, a little lass?


    But, towards this childlike and naive little lass, he really could not bear to reject. Smiling, he nodded and said, ��Long Xiaochun, okay. I��ve remembered it.��


    ��Xiaochun!��


    ��Xiaochun! Are you here or not?��


    Outside the door, an anxious voice suddenly sounded out.


    The moment Long Xiaochun heard, she could not help getting a shock, hurriedly running to the back-hall.


    In the end, she even turned her head around and warned Ye Yuan, ��Not allowed to say that I��m here, got it? Otherwise, I��ll beat you up!��


    Long Xiaochun stuck her dainty little fist out, a threatening look on her face, then she slipped into the back-hall.


    At this time, a handsome young man walked into the great hall with hurried steps.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, the young man clasped his hands and said, ��This brother, I wonder if you��ve seen a little girl with a horn growing on her head?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Seen before. She��s hiding in the back-hall.��


    [1] [Annotation text missing]

 Chapter 2115 - Qilin Arrives

    The youth was taken aback. At this time, Long Xiaochun already walked out from the back-hall, using murderous eyes to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��Ye Yuan, I trusted you! But you actually betrayed me!�� Long Xiaochun said angrily.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Little girl, running away from home, your family will be worried. You saying that you thank me for killing Qi Zhen shows that you really love your big brother. Then how can you bear to make him worry?��


    Long Xiaochun was stunned, revealing a thoughtful expression.


    By the side, Long Xiaohai was already shocked speechless.


    He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said, ��You �� You killed Qi Zhen? How is this possible?��


    A True God Realm killed an Empyrean Realm?


    Long Xiaohai felt that this guy must be bragging.


    Long Xiaochun held her head with her hand and revealed a furious appearance from failing to live up to expectations as she said, ��You stupid big brother! This matter already caused a great sensation in the entire city, but you actually don��t know! He��s called Ye Yuan, the Second Sage personally conferred by Sacred Ancestor High Priest! He��s amazing!��


    Shock was written all over Long Xiaohai��s face. Clearly, his brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    ��S-Second Sage?��


    He truly did not expect that this young man before his eyes actually had such a great background.


    Long Xiaochun could not be bothered with Long Xiaohai��s shock and turned to Ye Yuan and said with the appearance of a little grown-up, ��Uh �� I feel that what you said is very reasonable, but I finally managed to come out. Yet he wouldn��t let me go here, wouldn��t let me go there either. I could only sneak out.��


    This Long Xiaochun stayed too long in the pseudo world and was filled with curiosity toward the outside world.


    But along the way, Long Xiaohai refused to let her go anywhere. She was naturally very depressed. Hence, she secretly ran off halfway.


    Long Xiaohai only came a few days later in order to find Long Xiaochun, so he did not hear the matter of Ye Yuan killing Qi Zhen.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your big brother is worried about your safety too. That��s why he didn��t let you move around, isn��t that so?��


    Long Xiaochun thought about it and nodded her head, but then she shook her head again and said, ��I��m very amazing!��


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��Those who come are guests. Since you all came, sit down and drink a cup of wine.��


    ��Yay, yay! I love drinking wine the most!�� Long Xiaochun said with an excited look.


    A few cups of wine down the belly, Long Xiaochun was already slightly tipsy.


    But her pretty face was glowing red, looking freaking adorable.


    Long Xiaochun chirped away. Long Xiaohai also finally understood who Ye Yuan was. But he became even more shocked in his heart.


    This young man was actually so incredible!


    He had fought with Qi Zhen before and knew about Qi Zhen��s alchemy strength and even more about his pride.


    But Qi Zhen actually did not even have the courage to make a move facing Ye Yuan!


    Feeling an itch to test his skill, Long Xiaohai even wanted to spar with Ye Yuan a little. The result was naturally being abused until he was black and blue all over.


    This way, Long Xiaohai admired Ye Yuan even more.


    He finally knew why Qi Zhen did not even have the courage to make a move.


    Long Xiaochun watched with great relish by the side, idolizing Ye Yuan to the extreme.


    Long Xiaohai was also an alchemy fanatic, discussing in-depth with Ye Yuan for three days and three nights before being fully satisfied.


    ��Sigh, it��s getting late. Elder Xun they all must be worried sick from waiting. Otherwise, I��d really want to consult Brother Ye for a few months more,�� Long Xiaohai said with a look of regret.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No worries. As long as you guys are willing, you can come to find me at any time.��


    Long Xiaohai was pleasantly surprised when he heard that and said, ��Brother Ye, is this for real?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I feel very congenial with your brother and sister two people. Looking at you guys is like seeing my kin, I naturally won��t refuse.��


    Long Xiaochun nodded repeatedly and said, ��Yeah, yeah, it��s true, I also have this kind of feeling! The first time I laid eyes on you, it��s like seeing a big brother.��


    After some small talk, the two people took their leave.


    Before long, Long Xiaochun even repeatedly urged Ye Yuan, ��You have to remember. If the Qilin Clan dares to bully you, just report my name!��


    Ye Yuan just brushed it off with a smile and naturally did not take it seriously.


    �� ��


    Three days later, an aura powerful until it made people asphyxiated instantly enveloped the entire city.


    At this moment, two words flashed across the minds of everyone: Heavenly Emperor!


    This powerful aura akin to a god, only Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in the legends could possess it.


    ��This emperor is the Qilin Clan��s Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun! Give you all a hundred breaths of time! Hand over the chief criminal, Ye Yuan; otherwise, the whole city will be annihilated!��


    A voice akin to a clap of thunder sounded out in the ears of every demon in the city.


    The demon race powerhouses in the city were all ashen pale. Those who were slightly weaker were even injured by this voice.


    ��Heavenly Emperor powerhouse! It actually really drew a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!��


    ��Damn it! It��s all Lord Second Sage��s fault! Showing off momentary bravery, what to do now?��


    ��At this time, Lord Second Sage should sacrifice himself to protect the entire demon race!��


    �� ��


    There were discussions everywhere in the city.


    Ye Yuan��s residence was nearby, there were many demon race powerhouses yelling and hurling insults.


    Suddenly, an angry voice sounded out, ��All get lost for this empyrean!��


    Everyone looked over, it was actually Empyrean Xin Luo!


    ��When the group of demon powerhouses saw Xin Luo, they immediately exploded.


    ��Lord Xin Luo, you have to stand up for us!��


    ��He, Second Sage, can��t make the entire city be buried in death with him because of his individual grudge.��


    �� ��


    The pressure that a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse brought to people was seriously too strong.


    At the moment of life and death, whatever Second Sage, whatever alchemy genius, it was all useless.


    Xin Luo had a grim expression as he said coldly, ��All shut up for this empyrean! This empyrean came to request Lord Second Sage to uphold justice for us!��


    The moment everyone heard, their faces immediately revealed excited looks.


    Uphold justice? Xin Luo��s meaning was handing Ye Yuan over.


    Xin Luo arrived in front of the door and said in a clear voice, ��Xin Luo requests an audience with Lord Second Sage!��


    Creak!


    The front door slowly opened. A white-robed youth slowly walked out.


    When Xin Luo saw Ye Yuan, he was just about to open his mouth to speak, but then he heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Don��t need to waste your breath anymore. I already said before on that day at the divine temple. This matter, I��ll shoulder it alone!��


    Xin Luo could not help being stunned when he heard that. The words that Ye Yuan said back then, he thought that it was just joking around.


    For this, he even laid down an all-encompassing net in the vicinity, afraid of Ye Yuan escaping.


    However, not only did Ye Yuan not escape, he actually really stepped up right now!


    Xin Luo even thought that he had to use force this time, who knew that Ye Yuan was so sensible.


    Could it be that when he killed Qi Zhen, he already prepared to pay with his life long ago?


    But no matter what, Ye Yuan himself being willing to go was naturally for the best.


    Otherwise, a charge of being disrespectful toward Second Sage could not be avoided.


    If Sacred Ancestor High Priest were to really demand accountability, he would definitely be that scapegoat.


    Xin Luo gave Ye Yuan a bow and said, ��Lord Second Sage understands the righteousness of a cause. Xin Luo admires Lord Second Sage.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin Luo and said with a cold smile, ��Stop putting on an appearance here. You arranged so many spies in the vicinity, do you really think that I don��t know? If this sage really wanted to leave, do you think that you can stop me based on these people?��


    When Xin Luo heard that, he could not help revealing a look of surprise.


    The spies that he arranged were all Empyrean powerhouses. Ye Yuan actually knew all about it?


    Not waiting for him to react, Ye Yuan already took a step out and arrived above the void.

 Chapter 2116 - I Am Guilty!

    Ye Yuan sized up the old man in front of him. The old man had white hair and the complexion of a child, giving people a feeling of being as deep as the sea.


    A Heavenly Emperor, that was a figure above the heavens, the true sovereign of this world.


    Although Gongyang Lie was a Heavenly Emperor too, he was a servant and lacking some domineeringness. In front of Ye Yuan, he also did not dare to really reveal the aura of a heavenly emperor.


    Only the Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun in front of him was considered a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in the true sense.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun sized Ye Yuan up as if wanting to see through him.


    His aura was extremely powerful. Of the demon race powerhouses below, there were already quite a number of people that actually knelt down.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was so close to him, but was completely fine.


    Swoosh!


    In the crowd, a white figure suddenly shot up to the sky.


    But she had not gone very far when her figure actually fell back involuntarily, as if getting backtracked.


    ��Uncle Zhi, what are you doing?�� Long Xiaochun said to the dragon race elder beside her with an indignant look.


    The old man was expressionless as he said coolly, ��This is an unimportant matter that you shouldn��t poke your nose into!��


    Long Xiaochun raised her dainty fists and said angrily, ��How can it be an unimportant matter? Ye Yuan killed Qi Zhen; it��s equivalent to taking revenge for Big Brother Xiaohai. He��s our Dragon Clan��s friend!��


    Long Xiaohai also urged by the side, ��Uncle Zhi, take action and help Brother Ye!��


    Long Chi was not the slightest bit moved and said coolly, ��Coming out this time, this old man��s duty is to protect your safety. Although I don��t fear that Shaoyun, I��m also not willing to get involved with this trouble. The strength of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, you all are aware too. If you still dare to make trouble, I��ll tell your mother everything that happened along the way.��


    This last sentence indeed had massive killing power. The Long Xiaochun who feared neither heaven nor earth seemed to have heard a desolate behemoth��s name. Her expression actually showed her being frightened until it turned pale.


    It was just that the meaning in his words was that he actually did not fear heavenly emperors!


    This Long Zhi was actually a dragon race heavenly emperor who concealed his strength!


    ��Uncle Zhi, you��re unvirtuous!�� Long Xiaochun puffed her cheeks up and said with an unhappy look.


    Long Zhi still said coolly, ��Long Xiaochun, just the trouble that you caused along the way, if not for Uncle Zhi being around, you could have poked a hole in the sky! Have you forgotten who was wiping your buttocks behind you? You say that Uncle Zhi is unvirtuous, but Uncle Zhi won��t shoulder this blame!��


    Hearing the word buttock, even Long Xiaochun��s pretty face also turned slightly red as she said huffily, ��Humph! Boorish! Ignoring you!��


    Done talking, Long Xiaochun turned around. But a pair of intelligent eyes were swiveling around.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses see through everything. How could the commotion here escape Shaoyun��s eyes?


    That scene of Long Zhi taking action just now landed in his eyes fully and he could not help being startled in his heart.


    Dragon race heavenly emperor!


    This bunch of guys would not come out to cause trouble, right?


    Shaoyun originally came in a threatening manner. But if this matter had the Dragon Clan��s involvement, it would not be good.


    Got to cut the Gordian knot!


    Shaoyun��s mind spun lightning fast, already making a decision.


    His gaze looked towards an area in the void and he said in a solemn voice, ��Gongyang Lie, Ye Yuan killed my clan��s Qi Zhen. This emperor is bringing him away now, you have no objections, right?��


    The demon race powerhouses were all extremely shocked. Although Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun was overbearing, the meaning in his words was actually discussing with someone.


    Who could be worthy of a heavenly emperor��s deliberation?


    That was surely a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Was there still another Heavenly Emperor powerhouse here?


    Gongyang Lie��s figure slowly came out and he looked at Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun and said coolly, ��Lord Second Sage is willing to sacrifice himself to help all the demons in the entire city. This emperor naturally have no objections.��


    ��It��s another Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!��


    ��It��s our demon race��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!��


    �� ��


    The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.


    Gongyang Lie��s existence, only a small number of Empyrean powerhouses knew. The demons in the city were completely unaware.


    Toward Ye Yuan��s action, Gongyang Lie was also very surprised.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan would definitely threaten to die. Who knew that he was actually so shameless, directly surrendering without resistance.


    As for whether Ye Yuan could run or not, he never considered it at all.


    A mere True God Realm wanted to escape from a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s hands?


    That was not possible!


    Ye Yuan could kill Qi Zhen that day. It was entirely because he was too careless, and also because Ye Yuan��s method was too unexpected.


    Who could have thought that a True God Realm could actually control the Dao mark?


    Thinking up to here, a hint of regret arose in Gongyang Lie��s heart.


    If he was a little more decisive back then and directly restrained Ye Yuan, there would not be so much trouble.


    It was just that there was no regret medicine that could be eaten in this world.


    Shaoyun nodded slightly and looked over towards Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, this emperor is asking you; do you know your crime?��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Crime? Hahaha, I��m guilty! Of course I��m guilty!��


    Shaoyun��s brows furrowed slightly. A powerful pressure suddenly enveloped Ye Yuan.


    This was not realm coercion, Shaoyun was genuinely enraged.


    How horrifying was the world power of a Heavenly Emperor?


    ��Since you know your crime, why haven��t you knelt?!��


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun glared fiercely. A cold cry reverberated throughout the entire city akin to a clap of thunder.


    Everyone��s faces became fearful, looking at Ye Yuan rather sympathetically.


    ��A shame, Second Sage was overly conceited and insolent on account of his ability. Today, all of his dignity is going to be trampled underfoot by the Qilin Clan.��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Second Sage is avenging Qi Zhen here, gaining back face for the Qilin Clan! That day, Second Sage killed Qi Zhen really refreshingly. But coming out, debts have to be repaid.��


    ��Humph! This incident was caused by him. So now, he naturally has to bear the consequences himself! How powerful is the Qilin Clan? How can they allow humiliation?��


    �� ��


    Quite a few people harbored the emotions of gloating over others�� misfortune to watch the show, with their words full of mockery and cynicism.


    However, a breath passed, Ye Yuan was there like he was completely fine as if he did not hear it.


    Two breaths!


    Three breaths!


    Ye Yuan still stood there and did not have the slightest intention of kneeling.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun��s pupils constricted, his eyes full of puzzlement.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a faint smile just like that, as if he was air.


    The entire city was dead silent. Everyone looked at Ye Yuan in shock, their gazes full of incredulity.


    Ye Yuan could actually be perfectly safe and sound under a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s coercion?


    ��This emperor is asking you to kneel! Didn��t you hear me!?��


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun shouted angrily again. An even more powerful aura surged to the sky and directly crushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun was already enraged.


    A powerful Heavenly Emperor powerhouse actually could not do anything to a True God Realm. This was too disgraceful!


    So this time, he pulled no punches.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    �� ��


    This time, even those Empyreans could not withstand his pressure, all spewing fresh blood wildly.


    The might of a Heavenly Emperor was too strong!


    But Ye Yuan still stood there calmly without any reaction at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun��s expression changed wildly. He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment, his gaze full of disbelief.


    ��This is not possible! Why can a mere True God Realm stand up against this emperor��s move?��


    ��Hahaha �� your Qilin Clan is really awe-inspiring! Shaoyun, I��m indeed guilty! But, I��m an innocent man who got into trouble because of his wealth!��


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan turned his palm over, the Qilin emperor bone already in his hand. A powerful pressure of bloodline power enveloped the entire heaven and earth until it made people feel suffocated.

 Chapter 2117 - : Ruthless Face Slapping

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan held the emperor bone in his hand and slowly walked out, his aura growing stronger and stronger.


    The expressions of the Qilin Clan��s powerhouses changed drastically.


    They looked at Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun with incredible shock, their eyes full of disbelief.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun actually trembled incessantly under this bloodline pressure!


    Furthermore, the closer Ye Yuan got, the fierce Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun��s trembling!


    ��What Qilin Clan��s face? What avenging Qi Zhen? It��s all bullshit! Your true objective of coming here is this, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile as he walked.


    Seeing this scene, all of the demon race powerhouses felt shocked to the core.


    Especially those Empyrean powerhouses, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    The more one reached their realm, the more they knew the terror of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    However, a mere emperor bone could actually completely suppress a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    This was too terrifying!


    ��The Qilin Clan is really making a mighty show of power! You all sensed this treasure and then thought that this treasure is yours? Calling for me to hand it over time and again, you even want me to kowtow and beg for mercy?��


    ��Being taught a lesson by me, the young one failed, so the old man came. The old one failed and an even older one came! Made a bet with me, but reneged on it one-sidedly, and even wanted me to offer up the emperor bone, and to make apologies to the Qilin Clan!��


    Ye Yuan walked step by step, saying a sentence with each step.


    While talking, it carried the effect of the Voice of the Dragon God, the power immense.


    The Voice of the Dragon God contained the effect of a divine soul attack.


    Each of his words was affecting the judgment of the demons in the city.


    ��Your Qilin Clan is really tyrannical!��


    ��However, it��s too bad! You��re overbearing, I��ll be even more domineering than you all!��


    ��Kneel down!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice was akin to thunder. It was as if it fell down from above the nine heavens.


    At the same time, the Qilin emperor bone��s bloodline pressure also reached the peak at this time.


    The moment this voice landed, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun actually could not withstand the pressure and directly knelt down in front of Ye Yuan in the air with a thud.


    Behind him, Qi Chen and the rest of the Qilin Clan��s Empyrean powerhouses all could not withstand this pressure and knelt down too.


    The entire Qilin Clan was kneeling in front of a young man.


    This young man seemed like a god.


    A Heavenly Emperor kneeling, it was as if the void started trembling.


    All the demon race powerhouses in the city were deathly silent.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun came in a threatening manner and was actually coerced into kneeling by Ye Yuan with a few sentences?


    That �� That was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse was actually pressured into kneeling by a True God Realm martial artist?


    Even if Ye Yuan borrowed the power of the emperor bone, being able to obtain the emperor bone��s recognition, this was an inconceivable thing to begin with.


    Whoever obtained the treasure, that treasure would naturally be a part of their strength.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were god-like existences in everyone��s cognition.


    Below Heavenly Emperor, even Empyrean powerhouses were like ants too.


    If it was not something major, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses would not be walking around in the secular world at all. They overlooked the world in Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas.


    But now, an existence that they viewed as a god actually knelt down!


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun��s gaze stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, almost spewing fire.


    A stifled breath was stuck in his chest, virtually making his entire body about to explode.


    However, no matter how he struggled, he could not stand up from under this bloodline pressure at all.


    This was trembling that originated from the soul!


    In front of the emperor bone, he could not give birth to even the courage to resist.


    At this very moment, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun was like a wooden puppet that was strung up.


    Although he was unbelievably awake, his body and soul did not listen to orders and were being suppressed by a mysterious power, making him only able to submit.


    Beyond the rage, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun had more shock.


    He was the Qilin Clan��s Heavenly Emperor to begin with and naturally would not be unfamiliar with Qilin emperor bones. Even the bones in his body could similarly be called emperor bone too.


    However, when he was facing this emperor bone, it was like a child facing a giant.


    At this time, inside the city, the Dragon Clan��s powerhouses were also incomparably shocked.


    What they were shocked at was not the Qilin emperor bone, but that Ye Yuan actually used the Voice of the Dragon God!


    ��It��s actually the Voice of the Dragon God! Could it be that this boy even fused a true dragon bloodline? But even if he fused a true dragon bloodline, it��s also impossible to use a secret art like the Voice of the Dragon God!�� Long Zhi looked at the Ye Yuan in the sky and said with a doubtful look.


    The Voice of the Dragon God was an extremely complicated dragon race secret technique. Disregarding that it was powerful, it was also famous for being difficult to train.


    It was inconceivable to them that Ye Yuan could utilize the Voice of the Dragon God to such an extent.


    As a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Long Zhi could naturally determine the strength of the Voice of the Dragon God.


    If this roar of Ye Yuan��s was aimed at ordinary martial artists, it could absolutely one-shot same rank powerhouses!


    Even when facing a martial artist who was a minor realm higher, he would also be able to contend with them.


    This kind of strength was absolutely not what fusing true dragon bloodline could explain.


    Long Xiaochun also opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, ��Goodness gracious! Ye Yuan is too incredible! That��s a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, but he actually directly made him kneel! Looks like he really don��t need this young lady to take the stage anymore. But �� it feels really great! The Qilin Clan, that bunch of old things, this young lady is very displeased at the sight of them, see if they still dare to make a show of force!��


    Long Zhi gave Long Xiaochun a glance and could not help rolling his eyes.


    ��Ye Yuan, you dare to humiliate this emperor! This emperor will definitely make you regret coming to this world!�� Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun roared at Ye Yuan.


    He came in a threatening manner and roared at Ye Yuan earlier, attempting to make Ye Yuan kneel down and ruthlessly slap Ye Yuan��s face. In the end, Ye Yuan was completely fine.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s voice shook the entire world, pressuring him, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, and the entire Qilin Clan to kneel instead.


    This face was really slapped resoundingly!


    One time, two times, three times.


    The Qilin Clan coming out of hiding this time, not only did they not exhibit their race��s power, they instead had their faces repeatedly slapped by the same person.


    This kind of thing, it was depressing just mentioning it.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun felt ashamed, and enraged, and could only use his roars to vent the repression in his heart.


    ��Hahaha �� your Qilin Clan is really jackals from the same lair! Even the lines are the same! Your words are identical as when Qi Zhen knelt down back then! However, this is what you all asked for yourselves! I, Ye Yuan, am not domineering like you guys. But if someone is being domineering on top of my head, then I��ll be even more overbearing than you!�� Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    Ever since coming to the Westspirit Region, the Qilin Clan had been arrogant and bossy in front of him time and again.


    In the end, wasn��t it still bullying him on the basis that his strength was weak and his realm was low?


    But the Qilin Clan never dreamed that Ye Yuan had the emperor bone, this trump card, in his hands.


    When facing the Qilin Clan, he was virtually set in an undefeatable position!


    Now, even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse knelt down.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter. The development of the matter already completely exceeded all of their expectations.


    ��Humph! How can my Qilin Clan��s dignity allow you to provoke like this? Conceited child, hand over the emperor bone and prepare to die!��


    Right at this time, a cold snort transmitted out of the void, carrying a majesty that did not tolerate profaning.

 Chapter 2118 - Unexpected Reinforcement

    A young man dressed in white robes walked out of the void and slowly walked over toward Ye Yuan. He was actually not the least bit affected by the emperor bone.


    ��Qi Zixu!��


    In the crowd, when Long Zhi saw this youth in white, his expression could not help changing.


    Long Xiaochun looked towards Long Zhi with a curious face. She sensed dread from Long Zhi.


    Clearly, this Qi Zixu was not ordinary.


    Even a fool could also tell that this Qilin Clan��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, who could actually resist the emperor bone��s bloodline pressure, was naturally not an ordinary person.


    Qi Shaoyun was still kneeling there right now!


    ��Ye Yuan is in trouble now. Heavenly Emperor Zixu is actually not afraid of the emperor bone��s pressure!�� Long Xiaohai said with a worried look.


    But Long Zhi shook his head and said, ��Who said that he doesn��t fear the emperor bone��s pressure? If he isn��t afraid, he would have long smacked Ye Yuan to death with one slap!��


    Long Xiaohai opened his mouth wide, his face astonished.


    This emperor bone��s power truly exceeded imagination!


    ��It��s actually another Heavenly Emperor! Looks like this time, the Qilin Clan is being serious.��


    ��An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. Second Sage really said it correctly! A mere Qi Zhen is nothing in front of this emperor bone.��


    ��When the Qilin Clan saw this emperor bone, how can they still resist!��


    �� ��


    The demons in the city were all extremely frightened. The current situation already completely went out of control.


    Even Gongyang Lie also looked at Heavenly Emperor Zixu stupidly, with a look of astonishment.


    He did not think that the Qilin Clan actually even sent out Heavenly Emperor Zixu.


    Similarly a Heavenly Emperor, Qi Shaoyun was trash in front of Qi Zixu.


    At this time, Ye Yuan had a solemn look on his face. The matter already exceeded his control.


    The Qilin Clan��s reaction was far stronger than he imagined.


    He also detected that this Qi Zixu��s strength far surpassed Qi Shaoyun. His bloodline power was also unimaginably powerful, even the emperor bone also found it hard to control.


    After all, no matter how strong the emperor bone was, it was just a bone too. It was impossible to be infinitely powerful, suppressing all of the Qilin Clan.


    When the Qilin Clan��s members became powerful to a certain degree, they would naturally be able to shake off the bloodline pressure.


    However, Ye Yuan could feel that this Qi Zixu did not find it easy.


    He was just pretending to be calm. Actually, the pressure on his body was not the slightest bit least.


    When Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun saw Heavenly Emperor Zixu, his face revealed a look of wild elation.


    ��Lord Zixu, you �� you came in the nick of time! This brat actually dared to humiliate our Qilin Clan! You have to kill him!�� Qi Shaoyun glared at Ye Yuan and said with a look of grief and indignation.


    Since making his first appearance in the world, no idea how many tens of thousands of years had passed.


    A humiliation like today, he had never experienced it before.


    There were countless demon race powerhouses below, but he was pressured by people until he was made to kneel under the watchful gazes of the people.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu nodded slightly, indicating that he got it.


    His expression was calm, but actually, all of his body and mind were used to resist the emperor bone��s pressure.


    If not for seeing personally with his own eyes, it would also be very hard for him to believe that an emperor bone could actually have such horrifying bloodline pressure.


    Under everyone��s stares, Heavenly Emperor Zixu slowly walked in front of the emperor bone.


    It was only to see him slowly reach a palm out. Blue fine threads crept out, climbing over toward the emperor bone like vines.


    Very soon, the emperor bone was wrapped up by countless Dark marks.


    Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun and the rest of the Qilin Clan��s powerhouses only felt the pressure on their bodies lighten and they could actually stand up.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, attempting to urge the emperor bone to break free of the constraints of the Dao marks. But that power was too strong. With his strength, he was unable to affect it at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu looked at Ye Yuan as if he was looking at an ant and said coolly, ��You don��t need to waste your strength anymore. This emperor bone is owned by my Qilin Clan in the first place. Now, it can return to the rightful owner.��


    ��Hahaha, return to the rightful owner? Your Qilin Clan is really as shameless as before! As the saying goes: a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. No wonder Qi Yun and Qi Zhen those two people were so shameless,�� Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    This Qilin Clan��s overbearing and shamelessness, Ye Yuan truly experienced it.


    From top to bottom, the style was really unexpectedly the same!


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu was totally indifferent and said coolly, ��Are you very angry right now? But your fury can��t resolve any problem. What you should be indignant about is your weakness. My Qilin Clan has stood proudly for endless ages. So how formidable is our strength? How can we allow you, a mere True God Realm, to act wildly? Mn?��


    A cold snort, Ye Yuan seemed to have received an attack that weighed a heavy 30 thousand catties, causing his figure flying out backward, with fresh blood spurting wildly from his mouth.


    Ye Yuan barely managed to stabilize his figure. But the moment he raised his head, Heavenly Emperor Zixu already arrived in front of him.


    ��Kneel down!��


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu gave a low cry. Ye Yuan felt as if the sky had fallen down. Limitless power was forcefully crushing on his shoulders.


    Ye Yuan��s sweat instantly broke out, his bone emitting creaking sounds.


    The muscles in his body already seeped out blackish-red bloodstains because of the powerful pressure. The situation was looking very grim.


    But he stood up stubbornly.


    On Ye Yuan��s body, two powerful bloodline powers surged to the sky.


    At the same time, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon revolved wildly, attempting to resist this pressure.


    In addition, Ye Yuan unleashed spatial law continuously, guiding this power out.


    Not reaching a last resort, Ye Yuan did not wish to utilize the Divine Vestige Space.


    ��Making me kneel? Not unless I die!�� Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and said.


    When Heavenly Emperor Zixu saw Ye Yuan unleash all of his means and actually barely managed to resist his pressure, this made him incredibly shocked.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and nodded slightly as he said, ��Spatial law, true dragon bloodline, Qilin bloodline! Your means are really quite a few! I have to admit that you��re very outstanding. It��s a shame that in front of this emperor, all these are merely in vain. Kneel down for this emperor!��


    Bang!


    An even more horrifying power enveloped down like it blotted out the skies and covered the earth.


    Ye Yuan��s vision went dark, and he actually almost really knelt down.


    He knew that if he still did not deploy the Divine Vestige Space, he would definitely suffer humiliation today.


    Just as his Divine Vestige Space was about to activate, a pure white figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan, brandishing his fist and directly smashing over.


    Bang!


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Fine cracks actually appeared in the space around Ye Yuan.


    In the end, it collapsed with a loud bang.


    The pressure on Ye Yuan��s body suddenly eased up and he actually regained freedom of movement.


    The heavy pressure that Heavenly Emperor Zixu applied on him was actually smashed to dust by this punch.


    He looked at that figure beside him with a surprised face, shocked speechless.


    ��Heh heh, this young lady said it before; I��m very amazing!�� Long Xiaochun brandished her fist at Ye Yuan and gave a beaming smile.


    Long Zhi was frightened until he nearly sat on the ground with a plot. He was speechless as he said, ��Really damn it! When did this little lass run over!��


    Long Xiaochun was clever and mischievous. He was negligent for a moment and she slipped away.


    But at this time, he could not look on with folded arms anymore as well. He could only take a step out and arrive above the void.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu looked at Long Xiaochun coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��Dragon race little girlie, do you think that this emperor doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    ��If you dare to kill her, my Dragon Clan will completely break out into war with your Qilin Clan!�� Long Zhi said coolly as he slowly walked over.

 Chapter 2119 - Mysterious Long Xiaochun

    ��Remember, if those Qilin Clan��s old fellows come to find trouble with you, you just report my name: Long Xiaochun!��


    This sentence echoed in Ye Yuan��s mind.


    Originally, Ye Yuan just took it as a joke. But looking at it now, it was not the case.


    This girl��s identity was very extraordinary!


    Furthermore, what was the deal with that horrifying strange power just now?


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this little girl was actually already a rank seven powerhouse at a young age!


    But even if it was a rank seven powerhouse, the power of that punch earlier was also too terrifying.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu looked at Long Zhi, his expression slightly dark as he said, ��Is your Dragon Clan going to intervene in this matter? Since this emperor appeared here, you should know my clan��s attitude. Is it worth it for a mere human True God Realm?��


    Heavenly Emperors did not easily wade into the mortal world, let alone an existence like Heavenly Emperor Zixu?


    Since Heavenly Emperor Zixu came, that represented that the Qilin Clan already regarded this matter very importantly.


    If the Dragon Clan intervened in this matter, it would surely aggravate the Qilin Clan��s upper echelon.


    This was something to be very afraid of to the two clans.


    Long Zhi was just about to speak, but he noticed Long Xiaochun put her hands by the side of her waist, and then she said, ��Humph! Don��t talk about whatever Dragon Clan, Qilin Clan, Today��s matter, this young lady is butting in for sure! Ye Yuan is my good friend. So if you dare to touch him, this young lady will show you!��


    Long Zhi cried bitterness in his heart, he wished to block this little girl��s mouth.


    This one in front of him was the Qilin Clan��s Heavenly Emperor Zixu, a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor horrifying existence!


    This kind of powerhouse was a peerless powerhouse that could rule over a region.


    With him coming, what it represented was the Qilin Clan��s face and attitude.


    Hence, that was why he would forcefully suppress Ye Yuan, attempting to gain back face for the Qilin Clan.


    It was just a shame that just as he was about to succeed, Long Xiaochun suddenly popped out, making him fall short of success.


    ��Huhu, very good! Looks like your Dragon Clan thinks that my Qilin Clan is easy to bully! Since that��s the case, don��t blame this emperor for going on a killing spree!�� Heavenly Emperor Zixu laughed from extreme fury when he heard that.


    At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor��s pressure on his body instantly covered the entire world akin to the thunderclouds in the sky.


    The moment his world power released, heaven and earth changed colors.


    The world power of a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor was too strong!


    Even Long Zhi��s expression also became incomparably ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Zixu, my Dragon Clan has no intention of intervening in this matter! Long Zhi will bring Xiaochun away right now.��


    At the same time, Long Xiaochun also put away the teasing look on her face and said seriously, ��Uncle Zhi, I��m not going! Ye Yuan is my Long Xiaochun��s friend! I, Long Xiaochun, won��t abandon my friend! If you dare to forcefully bring me away, I��ll cry for you to see!��


    Although the current sight was incomparably serious, the numerous demon race powerhouses in the city were still tickled by Long Xiaochun.


    Ye Yuan also found it funny, this lass�� way of blackmailing people was also too unique, right?


    Looks like it was really a little princess!


    But Long Zhi��s face revealed an incomparably serious expression.


    ��Don��t, don��t, don��t! My great-grandaunt, you mustn��t cry! Sigh, I really can��t do anything about you!��


    Long Zhi sighed slightly and turned to Heavenly Emperor Zixu and said, ��Lord Zixu, this matter �� your esteemed clan please lift your hand high in mercy and let this little brother off. As for Xiaochun, you can��t afford to provoke her. Better withdraw. Otherwise �� you��d be the chief culprit of launching a divine war!��


    The moment ��divine war�� two words came out, everyone��s faces changed drastically.


    These two words represented destruction!


    ��Divine war, that��s the tangled warfare of late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses! With these two clans�� strength, there might even be Transcendent Heavenly Emperors taking part. At that time, the entire pseudo world will probably be collapsed, right?��


    ��Divine war! Who on earth is this little lass? The Dragon Clan actually won��t scruple to launch a divine war for her?��


    ��Maybe it is just to scare people, right? That Dragon Clan��s Heavenly Emperor wants to use these two words to scare away Heavenly Emperor Zixu?��


    �� ��


    The power of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses was too terrifying, especially late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. With every movement and action, they had the power to destroy heaven and obliterate the earth.


    Back then when Ye Yuan used the Heaven Shocking Lightning, the strike of a Heavenly Emperor directly leveled a radius of ten thousand miles to the ground.


    Jiu Luo Ji that was several tens of thousands of miles away also suffered a powerful secondary impact.


    That kind of power was really too frightening.


    Once a divine war was launched, it would surely be fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open and the people plunged into misery and suffering.


    It was also precisely so that Heavenly Emperor powerhouses would maintain relative restraint and not easily enter the mundane world, and only move around in the Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda that they opened up.


    Now, Long Zhi actually said that the Dragon Clan was going to launch a divine war for this little girl!


    By the side, Ye Yuan observed with cool detachment, but monstrous waves already set off in his heart.


    He felt that Long Xiaochun��s threat was only joking around just now, but looking at it now, it was not ordinary!


    Long Xiaochun definitely had an extremely important position in the Dragon Clan.


    He did not expect that this artless and childlike little girl was actually so unfathomable.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Zixu was also stunned by Long Zhi��s words.


    Qi Zhen��s status in the Qilin Clan was indeed extremely high, but it also did not reach the extent of launching a divine war.


    The Qilin Clan sending him this time, more importantly, it was still for the sake of obtaining the emperor bone.


    But this unassuming little lass actually had such an important status?


    Kill? Or not to kill?


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu actually fell into hesitation.


    After all, the significance of ��divine war��, these two words, was exceptional.


    Once the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan started a divine war, it would probably engulf the entire Demon Divine Region.


    With the two clans�� strength, the casualties would definitely be very tragic.


    Arriving in the mortal world, he was a supreme Heavenly Emperor hegemon.


    But in front of the two clans�� top major powers, he was still inadequate to look at.


    He could not shoulder ��divine war�� two words!


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu was not worried that Long Zhi was lying. No Heavenly Emperor powerhouse dared to use divine war, this kind of word, to threaten the other party.


    Furthermore, looking at the clues and inklings, Long Xiaochun this little girl seemed to really be exceptional.


    ��Forget it, looking on the account of the Dragon Clan, I��ll spare your dog life! But you have to be more careful. Maybe some day, my Qilin Clan will come and take your life. You don��t be so lucky every time,�� Heavenly Emperor Zixu finally heaved a sigh and looked at Ye Yuan as he said coolly.


    Everyone looked at the sky in disbelief. Heavenly Emperor Zixu actually gave up just like that.


    With Heavenly Emperor Zixu leaving, it would also be equivalent to Ye Yuan slapping their faces for nothing. The Qilin Clan was considered to have swallowed the insult and humiliation silently.


    With the Qilin Clan��s pride, they were actually able to stomach this insult.


    It seemed like the deterrence of ��divine war�� two words was really huge!


    Long Zhi also let out a slight sigh in relief but shot Long Xiaochun a fierce glare. The latter rolled her eyes and turned her head around, completely ignoring him.


    When Long Zhi saw the situation, he could not help feeling stifled.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu turned around and arrived beside the emperor bone.


    But right at this time, there was a ripple in the void. A figure stepped out of the void first and grabbed the emperor bone.


    ��Dao mark! You can actually control Dao mark!��


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s eyes turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! This emperor already spared your life, but you actually still want to take away the emperor bone?��

 Chapter 2120 - You Knew That I Was Around?

    Apart from Gongyang Lie who did not feel surprised, the pupils of the other Heavenly Emperor powerhouses shrunk. They were clearly stunned by this scene just now.


    A True God Realm powerhouse grasping Dao mark, this kind of thing was unheard of.


    Ye Yuan actually used Dao mark to break Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s restrains, this was simply inconceivable.


    But very soon, each and every one of them shook their heads and sighed.


    This Ye Yuan was really courting death!


    Even if he grasped Dao mark, the two people��s strengths were not on the same level at all.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes were icy-cold as he said, ��Mine means it��s mine! Want to bring away the emperor bone? Not unless you step on my corpse!��


    Ye Yuan could be said to have experienced a thousand hardships to obtain the emperor bone.


    Obtaining the emperor bone, Ye Yuan was equivalent to the emperor bone��s master. He absolutely did not allow others to take the emperor bone away.


    Even if the emperor bone was taken away by the Qilin Clan, it would also be impossible for them to obtain the emperor bone��s recognition.


    ��Huhu, you think that with the Dragon Clan protecting you, this emperor really doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s fury that had just calmed down rose up once more.


    This kid was simply ignorant.


    He turned to Long Zhi and said in a solemn voice, ��Long Zhi, this emperor has already given your Dragon Clan face! If you guys dare to stop again, don��t blame this emperor for being ruthless!��


    Long Xiaochun was just about to speak when she heard that, but how could Long Zhi give her the chance? He directly made a move and imprisoned her.


    ��Let me go! Uncle Zhi, still not letting go, I��m going to cry!�� Long Xiaochun screamed.


    Long Zhi casually pointed a finger, Long Xiaochun��s eyes rolled back and actually fainted.


    Long Zhi carried the unconscious Long Xiaochun and said coolly, ��Lord Zixu rest assured, Long Zhi won��t stop you again.��


    Similarly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Long Zhi was very clear that the dignity of a Heavenly Emperor could not be violated.


    Today, for Long Xiaochun��s sake, Heavenly Emperor Zixu already put down his dignity and did not stoop to her level.


    But if they reached for a yard after taking an inch, no one could bear the fury of a Heavenly Emperor.


    The term divine war could indeed threaten Heavenly Emperor Zixu, but it was also impossible to make a Heavenly Emperor give in limitlessly.


    For the sake of not letting Long Xiaochun mess around, Long Zhi could only knock her out.


    Indeed, launching a divine war for a True God Realm was not worth it!


    Even though Long Zhi was very curious about Ye Yuan, this curiosity was not enough to let him protect Ye Yuan to death.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu nodded slightly, turned to Ye Yuan, and said with a cold smile, ��Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk! Hell has no gate, yet you want to barge inside! Now, nobody can save you from up in the heavens to down below the earth!��


    ��Who said that nobody can save him?��


    Just as Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s aura surged to the sky, a man in a blue garment slowly walked out of the void with his hands behind his back, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    The arrival was a middle-aged man with a long flowing beard, his complexion rosy akin to Marquis Guan Yu[1].


    The middle-aged man with a flowing beard looked very ordinary, just like a mortal. But Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s facial expression was an unprecedented solemnness.


    Seeing this middle-aged man in blue, Heavenly Emperor Zixu was akin to facing a great enemy as he said in a deep voice, ��Who is your esteemed self? Could it be that you also want to butt into my Qilin Clan��s affairs?��


    With his strength, he actually could not see through the blue-clothed man��s depths.


    Ye Yuan looked at the back view of the man in blue and said coldly, ��You finally came out!��


    The man in blue ignored Heavenly Emperor Zixu, but he turned his head and said with surprise, ��You knew that I was around?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I didn��t know, but I could feel that there was someone watching here!��


    The man in blue was slightly taken aback and said with a nod, ��No wonder Master conferred you Second Sage. The title of Second Sage is fully deserving.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone broke out into a commotion.


    The pupils of the few great Heavenly Emperors also shrunk, their gazes revealing astonishment.


    Who was the person who conferred Ye Yuan as Second Sage?


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    This man in blue actually called Sacred Ancestor High Priest as his master. Then his status was already almost certain!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s 11 disciples, each one was an earth-shaking great figure.


    Even the weakest High Priest Redplume was a late-stage Heavenly Emperor peerless powerhouse.


    This one in front of them was clearly not High Priest Redplume; otherwise, Gongyang Lie would not have no reaction at all.


    Then who was this person?


    Even Ye Yuan��s icy-cold eyes also shrunk slightly.


    He had long felt that someone was watching here. Furthermore, this aura, he had a very familiar feeling.


    Hence, that was why he risked his life and also had to snatch the emperor bone back.


    Giving the emperor bone to others with both hands was not his, Ye Yuan��s, style.


    It was just that he also did not expect that Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually sent his own disciple over personally!


    The entire incident was started by Qi Zhen. With the unexpected turn of events until now, several Heavenly Emperor powerhouses showed themselves.


    In the end, it actually startled Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    Gongyang Lie had also never seen before the man in blue. But his status was high above, so Gongyang Lie had clearly heard about him before.


    From the clues and inklings, he determined the identity of the man in blue and hurriedly bowed in salute and said, ��Could Your Excellency be �� High Priest Stardrive?��


    The man in blue looked towards him and said coolly, ��That��s right. It��s precisely this venerable.��


    ��It��s actually High Priest Stardrive! That��s Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s seventh disciple! His status is even above High Priest Redplume��s!��


    ��I didn��t expect it! Really didn��t expect it! I can actually see High Priest Stardrive��s true self one day!��


    ��Looks like we all underestimated Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s resolve!��


    �� ��


    All the demon race powerhouses in the city had devout looks, looking at the High Priest Stardrive above the void.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was a paramount existence, his disciples similarly enjoyed the worship of the demon race powerhouses.


    Their lineage created countless powerhouses for the demon race and also let the demon race be able to stand tall in the Heavenspan World.


    This man in blue was precisely Ji Mo who was always by Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s side. He was known as High Priest Stardrive.


    It was just that the name Ji Mo, extremely few people knew of it.


    Gongyang Lie had a look of astonishment, and he slowly knelt down and said, ��Old Servant Gongyang Lie, offer greetings to High Priest Stardrive!��


    Ji Mo gave a cold snort and directly pointed a finger out.


    Bang!


    Gongyang Lie��s figure flew out backward, spurting out a mouthful of blood with a cough.


    But he hurriedly crawled up and knelt back down.


    Ji Mo said coolly, ��Crippled ten thousand years of your cultivation and imprisonment for 5000 years of confinement! Go!��


    Gongyang Lie��s complexion was deathly pale as he prostrated deeply and said, ��Thank Lord Stardrive��s kindness of not killing!��


    He smiled ruefully to no end in his heart.


    He thought that Second Sage was merely conveniently set by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. What did a mere True God Realm count for?


    But he severely underestimated Ye Yuan��s status in Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s heart!


    High Priest Stardrive arriving here was absolutely not representing himself, but he was actually representing Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    Sending High Priest Stardrive over, the significance was extraordinary.


    That was virtually equivalent to Sacred Ancestor High Priest arriving in person!


    Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Similarly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Gongyang Lie was simply like an ant in front of High Priest Stardrive!


    Crippled your cultivation and confined you, you still had to thank the Lord for his kindness!


    But everyone understood in their hearts that High Priest Stardrive was enraged because Gongyang Lie offended Ye Yuan.


    The Qilin Clan bore down upon the borders with a great army, but not only Gongyang Lie did not protect Second Sage, he also actually even took the initiative to hand over Second Sage. He already committed a severe offense.

 Chapter 2121 - You Owe Second Sage!

    Taking care of Gongyang Lie, Ji Mo slowly turned around and looked at Heavenly Emperor Zixu as he said with a cold smile, ��Heh, your Qilin Clan is really awe-inspiring!��


    The entire incident, Ji Mo observed with cool detachment from the sidelines.


    It was just that even though so many powerhouses present, only Ye Yuan alone discovered his existence.


    As for the Qilin Clan��s show of authority, he naturally took it all into his sights.


    The reason he did not take action was that he wanted to see Ye Yuan��s limits and also wanted to see how great Ye Yuan��s potential was.


    Although Sacred Ancestor High Priest conferred Ye Yuan as Second Sage, actually, Ji Mo was the same as High Priest Redplume. They were more or less having some reservations about Ye Yuan.


    A mere True God Realm powerhouse actually rode above 11 great disciples. This kind of thing, anyone would also feel that it was too ridiculous.


    But watching this show, Ji Mo��s attitude toward Ye Yuan already completely changed.


    Not only was Ye Yuan an unrivaled alchemy genius, making all alchemy geniuses pale in comparison, he was also a martial arts genius at the same time!


    Ye Yuan��s combat power virtually made those in the same rank perspire from embarrassment.


    What was more terrifying was that Ye Yuan actually grasped Dao mark with True God Realm cultivation.


    No wonder his master viewed Ye Yuan as his opponent. Even if it was just in terms of Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan surpassing them apprentice brothers in the future, was likely a sure bet too.


    When Heavenly Emperor Zixu learned Ji Mo��s identity, he also sucked in a cold breath.


    He never would have thought that Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually attached such importance to this so-called Second Sage, to actually send his direct disciple over personally.


    Heavenly Emperors did not step into the mortal world.


    But Ji Mo, this kind of apex existence, rarely even took part in the disputes of Heavenly Emperors.


    A late-stage Heavenspan World peak powerhouse was this Heavenspan World��s true hegemon!


    But High Priest Stardrive actually personally descended upon the human world for Ye Yuan!


    But even if it was facing High Priest Stardrive, High Priest Stardrive also could not weaken the Qilin Clan��s imposing momentum. He immediately gave a bow toward Ji Mo and said in a deep voice, ��Lord Stardrive��s words, Zixu doesn��t understand. Even if Ye Yuan is the Second Sage, he killed my Qilin Clan��s number one alchemy genius, making my clan suffer a great loss in strength in alchemy. He also seized my clan��s emperor bone. Could it be that my Qilin Clan is acting without any justifiable reason?��


    High Priest Stardrive stared at Heavenly Emperor Zixu, staring until the latter shuddered. High Priest Stardrive said coolly, ��Huhu, your Qilin Clan really knows how to play the blame game! Since Second Sage arrived in the west city, this emperor has been paying close attention. This matter was your Qilin Clan finding trouble first to begin with. Second Sage endured time and again, but you guys went from bad to worse. Forget about that Qi Zhen scrapped the agreement, he even threatened to make Second Sage offer up the emperor bone and make apologies. Heh heh, the Second Sage that Master personally conferred, but you all made him apologize. Are you guys looking down on Second Sage or looking down on Master? Mn?��


    When he said the last word, Ji Mo glared fiercely. A powerful soul force stabbed straight for Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s divine soul.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s entire body trembled and actually knelt in front of Ji Mo uncontrollably.


    While at this time, Ji Mo��s figure moved, moving aside, revealing Ye Yuan behind.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s kneeling just happened to kneel down toward Ye Yuan.


    A late-stage Heavenly Emperor peerless powerhouse, furthermore, it was a high priest who was powerful in the divine soul aspect. How powerful was Ji Mo��s soul force?


    If he was willing, just the stare earlier could turn Zixu��s soul to dust.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s face turned deathly pale, as if he fell gravely ill.


    He looked at Ji Mo, his face full of alarm and fear.


    High Priest Stardrive �� was too strong!


    Each and every one of the demon race powerhouses in the city was extremely shocked. The The Qilin Clan came in a threatening manner this time. In the end, two Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, one was suppressed and made to kneel by Ye Yuan, while the other was personally suppressed by High Priest Stardrive and also knelt down.


    This face was utterly lost!


    Furthermore, this time, High Priest Redplume even invited many reclusive demon race powerhouses over.


    The Qilin Clan was considered to have completely tripped this time.


    But the demons in the city were all worried. High Priest Stardrive was so domineering. Was he not afraid of the Qilin Clan��s revenge?


    ��Lord Stardrive �� this is taking advantage of your power to bully people! Are you �� bullying my Qilin Clan for having nobody?�� Heavenly Emperor Zixu gritted his teeth and said.


    Ji Mo smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��This emperor knows that your Qilin Clan is very strong, being not beneath my Priest Temple. But �� it��s not your turn to come and question this emperor yet! This kneel, you owe Second Sage!��


    Ji Mo��s gaze then turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Second Sage was personally conferred by Master. His status is even above us direct disciples. You, a mere Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor, came to humiliate my Priest Temple��s Second Sag. Isn��t that slapping Master��s face? It��s you who is bullying my Priest Temple for having nobody!��


    Ji Mo��s voice was akin to a great bell, reverberated throughout the world.


    His rage represented the Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s rage.


    Originally, Ye Yuan��s Second Sage was merely a title,. No one would take it to heart.


    But Ji Mo descending personally, the significance of Second Sage was totally different.


    Hence, Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s kneel was not unjust!


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s face was ashen. Same as everyone present, the Qilin Clan also underestimated the weight of Ye Yuan, this Second Sage.


    Furthermore, this underestimation was a severe underestimation.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not treat him as a junior that could be molded, but Sacred Ancestor truly put Ye Yuan on a seat with equal footing.


    The height of his expectations exceeded everyone��s imaginations!


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu gritted his teeth and said, ��Even so, my Qilin Clan also doesn��t tolerate Lord Stardrive to humiliate us like so!��


    Ji Mo smiled faintly when he heard that and said, ��Is that so? If you��re not convinced, you can invite the Qilin Clan��s powerhouses over. This emperor will await respectfully at any time! My Priest Temple doesn��t fear a divine war!��


    When Heavenly Emperor Zixu heard that, his pupils could not help constricting.


    Ji Mo said it very casually, but the weight of this sentence was too heavy!


    ��This �� How can this be? Lord Second Sage is merely a True God Realm martial artist, but why would Sacred Ancestor High Priest value him so highly?��


    ��Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually has no qualms on launching a divine war for Second Sage!��


    ��Looks like we still underestimated Lord Second Sage��s status in Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s heart!��


    �� ��


    The demon race powerhouses present were all shook to the core.


    High Priest Stardrive��s nonchalant words represented Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s powerful determination.


    If the Qilin Clan dared to touch Ye Yuan, this divine war definitely could not be avoided.


    Either battle or withdraw!


    The power to choose was handed to the Qilin Clan.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu sucked in a deep breath, looked toward Ye Yuan with a complicated expression, and finally let out a sigh and said, ��This matter, Zixu is unable to make a decision. But Lord Stardrive��s words, Zixu will definitely deliver it!��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Zixu stood up with some difficulty and planned on leaving.


    ��Stop. Did this emperor let you guys go?�� Ji Mo said coolly.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, ��Why? Does Lord Stardrive really want to kill me? Although Zixu isn��t some important person. I also represent the Qilin Clan��s face. If I die here, this divine war will likely really can��t be avoided!��


    Ji Mo did not seem to have heard his words. His gaze sweeping around, he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Today, all the people of virtue are here. Then let��s witness Second Sage��s strength together!��

 Chapter 2122 - Entering the Game

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ji Mo flicked his sleeves grandly. A small and exquisite chessboard slowly flew out.


    A majestic and insubstantial aura of Dao gushed out, instantly covering the entire world.


    It was as if this chessboard was a world!


    When people with extensive knowledge saw this, their faces could not help changing drastically as they cried out with surprise, ��Ask Not! This is Ask Not! Only Ask Not has such a mysterious and unpredictable aura!��


    Someone asked doubtfully, ��Second Sage? Hasn��t Second Sage already cleared Ask Not before? Wouldn��t using this to exhibit his strength be a joke?��


    ��What the hell do you know! Sacred Ancestor High Priest has made countless rubbings of Ask Not and handed it to the various Priest Temples. But the rubbings of Ask Not chess game vary in concept. What��s enshrined by the various Priest Temples are merely the lowest-level version of Ask Not. It probably doesn��t even have one-ten-thousandth of the true Ask Not��s power!��


    ��In this case, this Ask Not chess game is very incredible?��


    ��Is there still a need to say? Would the Ask Not that High Priest Stardrive personally brought over be of the common sort?��


    �� ��


    Numerous demon race powerhouses were anxious and doubtful, looking at that tiny chessboard with incredible shock.


    Ji Mo looked at Ye Yuan and opened his mouth and said, ��Second Sage, Master said that you must be very interested in Ask Not. So he ordered me to bring it over. This chessboard is the real Ask Not!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, immediately revealing strong interest.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun, Long Zhi, and the rest, their pupils shrunk, revealing a look of astonishment.


    Ask Not��s great reputation, even if they were in pseudo worlds, they had also heard of it.


    This was the real Ask Not, an eternal chess game with boundless power!


    ��Huhu, the person who knows me well is still Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Challenging Ask Not the last time, the Medicine Ancestor was too weak! I truly couldn��t muster up interest!�� Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, everyone was speechless.


    Medicine Ancestor was too weak �� This sort of words, only Ye Yuan would dare to say it out.


    But Ji Mo was slightly shocked in his heart and could not help recalling his scene of challenging Ask Not back then.


    Back then, when he challenged Ask Not, that was a hairbreadth escape. He almost did not come out alive.


    But arriving at Ye Yuan here, he felt that the opponent was too weak.


    That was Medicine Ancestor!


    Although he did not personally see the sight of Ye Yuan clearing the hurdle, his master had told him before.


    Back then, Ye Yuan replaced his master, then he had a great battle with Medicine Ancestor, finally completely routing the Medicine Ancestor.


    How grandiose and exciting was that battle!


    Ji Mo said, ��Master sealed 50% of the power with a great divine ability. Inside this Ask Not, it still contains 50% of the power. However, even if it��s only 50% power, this emperor can��t clear it either! Does Second Sage dare to challenge it?��


    ��What? Sealed 50% of the power and High Priest Stardrive actually can��t even make it through?��


    ��Just what kind of existence in this Ask Not!��


    ��The rubbing Ask Nots only have one-ten-thousandth power and already heaven-shocking might. Just 50% power, it��s too terrifying! Second Sage is just a Six-star priest. Unless his head is spoiled, why would he go and challenge Ask Not!��


    �� ��


    This was the real Ask Not. It was the game field of the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, these two peerless alchemy experts.


    That kind of existences could destroy heaven and earth with a wave of a hand.


    Although it was just a Dao debate, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not dare to easily set foot in it either; let alone a measly little Ye Yuan?


    ��I��ve already been captivated by this Ask Not for a long time. So how can I miss it? Activate it!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Stardrive laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� what a heroic Second Sage! This emperor is also very curious just how great Second Sage��s potential is!��


    It was only to see him pointing at the void. A bright red light beam hit the chessboard and the chessboard immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    A horrifying to the extreme pressure instantly bloomed!


    Originally, that chessboard only gave people a profound and mysterious feeling.


    But only at this time, did the people realize that this was the battlefield of two apex figures.


    ��Is this Sacred Ancestor High Priest here to verify strength, or here to kill people? How can just horrifying power be what a mere True God Realm can resist?�� Long Zhi marveled with admiration.


    When Zixu saw this scene, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, ��Sacred Ancestor High Priest had better don��t shoot himself in the foot and mess this up! A mere True God Realm brat, if he can survive amidst the struggle of two apex Transcendent Heavenly Emperors, this emperor will pluck his own head off and let that brat kick it as a ball!��


    ��Heh, I think that it will definitely be messed up! This kind of power, even if the likes of us go in, it��s also certain death! Just based on a measly little True God Realm powerhouse, can he come out alive?�� Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun said with a cold smile.


    Rumble!


    All of a sudden, heaven and earth changed colors. The color of the sky in a radius of 100 thousand miles suddenly turned dark.


    The scene before everyone��s eyes changed, as if they had entered another world.


    Everyone��s expressions turned stiff, as if being constrained, unable to move at all.


    These people then felt a trace of their divine soul being extracted away, feeling a bout of weakness.


    Above the void, two giants looked at each other across space, almost like gods.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s gaze revealed a look of astonishment and he said in a solemn voice, ��Heaven and earth as the chessboard, myriad life as the chess pieces! What a tremendous power!��


    Ye Yuan being situated inside it was akin to facing the entire world.


    ��Second Sage, enter the game!�� High Priest Stardrive looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and directly took a step out, entering this world.


    Ye Yuan��s figure directly submerged into this world.


    Ji Mo��s gaze flickered and he said to himself, ��Disregarding other things, just this resolution, no one can be compared to him!��


    The game between two apex powerhouses, how shocking was the commotion.


    Once entered the game, it was nine chances to die and one chance to live!


    To a True God Realm like Ye Yuan, it was practically a hopeless land; certain death.


    The scene before Ye Yuan��s eyes changed, he discovered that he was actually decked out as a foot soldier.


    In front of two peerless powerhouses, Ye Yuan was puny like an ant.


    ��Kill!��


    Suddenly, a thunderous voice sounded out. Everyone��s divine souls seemed to be pulled by someone. The military strength of the two sides started engaging fiercely.


    Everyone was unable to refuse this order.


    Ye Yuan was wrapped up inside, akin to a speck of dust in a torrent, unable to control his actions at all.


    The army on both sides fought together fiercely just like that.


    In an instant, there were countless powerhouses that were annihilated.


    The current Ye Yuan was just an ordinary foot soldier, just like a wooden puppet being towed to go on an expedition all around.


    Under the footsteps of two peerless powerhouses, Ye Yuan was as feeble as a speck of dust.


    And this scene landed fully in everyone��s eyes.


    ��Heh, what did I say? How can a mere True God Realm influence the game of supreme powerhouses? Once he entered the game, he��s just an ant. Sacred Ancestor High Priest asks him to go eat, he won��t be able to go west! This show is really fun to watch!��


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu had a cold expression. He just swept a glance over and saw the Ye Yuan in the torrent.


    The others all had a wisp of divine soul submerged inside. Even if they died, it also did not matter.


    But Ye Yuan entered with his real body. Once he was killed by an enemy, that was true death.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu had suffered such a big loss in Ye Yuan��s hands. He wished for Ye Yuan to die a million times over.


    This outcome was exactly what he wished for!

 Chapter 2123 - Sword of Will

    With Ye Yuan being wrapped up inside the torrent of the army, everything was not of his free will.


    This was the heaven and earth general situation created by Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest two people. It was even more terrifying than the power of one person.


    Once entering the chess game, one would be a chess piece!


    On the battlefield, cold steel glinted and flashed, ten thousand steeds galloped.


    An unparalleled will descended upon Ye Yuan��s body, controlling Ye Yuan to charge forward and kill vigorously.


    Ye Yuan was very familiar with this willpower. It was precisely Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s will.


    It was just that compared to the first time he challenged Ask Not, this will was God knows how many times stronger.


    So the moment he entered the game, he was controlled by this will. It did not allow the slightest bit of resistance at all.


    ��Humph! So what if it��s the real Ask Not? My will is controlled by me! Break for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry. A powerful fighting intent soared to the sky, breaching the firmament!


    Being situated inside the game, Ye Yuan could not see these two giants at all.


    They were seemingly two controllers, controlling everything in this world.


    ��Humph! An ant is an ant; only fit to be a chess piece! You also dare to vie for glory with us? Suppress!��


    Above the firmament, a god-like voice fell down, shocking the entire battlefield.


    At the same time, an enormous palm fell from the sky, landing on the mortal world.


    This palm was dropped precisely for Ye Yuan!


    When the people outside the game saw this scene, they turned pale with fright one after another.


    ��Too terrifying! This is the power of heaven and earth! Ye Yuan is courting death here. Challenging this kind of heaven-shocking chess game, there��s only following the rules strictly. How can one resist such will?��


    ��Sacred Ancestor High Priest who is inside the chess game doesn��t recognize whatever Second Sage. Ye Yuan daring to resist his will aroused his fury.��


    ��Sacred Ancestor��s will is akin to the will of heaven and earth; undefiable. How can a mere True God Realm be able to resist it?��


    �� ��


    Following the palm landing, everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    Just this will could crush Heavenly Emperors to dust, let alone a puny little True God Realm?


    ��Hahaha, I thought what incredible talent he is. Turns out that he is a fool! With his talent, it��s also not impossible for him to reach Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s boundary in the future. But right now, he��s an ant! A firefly also dares to contend for glory with the bright moon? Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s will, even the likes of us can��t withstand it. But just based on his strength?�� Heavenly Emperor Zixu laughed unceasingly when he saw the situation.


    Ye Yuan��s action was courting death in their eyes.


    Reaching Medicine Ancestor��s and Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s level of realm, that was only a hair��s breadth away from Dao Ancestor.


    Their will was virtually equivalent to the will of heaven and earth.


    How could a mere ant��s will rival heaven and earth?


    What was this if not seeking death?


    The enormous palm fell from the sky, bringing a power to crush all life.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The giant palm had yet to land completely when Ye Yuan already spurted a mouthful of fresh blood out wildly.


    That horrifying pressure directly bent his waist.


    ��Those who submit prospers; those who defy dies! How can this emperor��s will allow defiance? Die!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s awe-inspiring voice came from above the void.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, another extremely horrifying pressure descended from the sky.


    An enormous cauldron slowly emerged from the void, suppressing Ye Yuan.


    ��Puuuu!��


    The moment the enormous cauldron appeared, Ye Yuan��s entire person was akin to being struck by lightning, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    A giant cauldron, an enormous palm, pressed on Ye Yuan��s shoulders akin to two large mountains.


    That horrifying willpower was seemingly like a sledgehammer, bombarding Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness non-stop, making him submit.


    At the outside world, there was a series of exclamations.


    ��This �� This giant cauldron is the Medicine Ancestor��s will! The Medicine Ancestor is enraged too!��


    ��My God, two leviathans being enraged at the same time! What kind of terrifying will is this?��


    ��Mad! Utterly insane! Second Sage is courting death here! This is the chess game of two giants, but he wants to intervene flagrantly, challenging the will of two leviathans! The two are enraged at the same time now!��


    �� ��


    This Ask Not was the true Ask Not. It was completely different from the one Ye Yuan challenged before.


    Inside that Ask Not, the true sovereign was the Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    But in this place, there were two hegemons.


    In fact, Medicine Ancestor��s strength was even above Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s.


    Ye Yuan��s unyielding will had surprised not just Sacred Ancestor High Priest, but there was also the Medicine Ancestor!


    With two sovereigns taking action at the same time, the entire world became dim and dark.


    That kind of horrifying pressure felt as if the apocalypse had arrived.


    Even if the rest were not inside the game, they also felt tremendous pressure.


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s hair was disheveled. His eyes, nose, and ears were actually all bleeding.


    The pressure that he endured, bystanders were completely unable to imagine it.


    When Ji Mo saw this scene, his expression was very complicated.


    He had also cleared Ask Not before, but he did not dare to provoke the two leviathans�� will at all.


    Even if 50% of the power was sealed, he also did not dare to confront these two people��s will pressure.


    Inside this chess game, even if he was the Sacred Ancestor��s disciple, he could only be relegated to be a chess piece.


    Those two people were not people of the mortal world at all.


    Their strength was too horrifying.


    Only by being situated inside the chess game and watching their showdown of magical abilities could one vividly experience these two people��s boundless power.


    Ji Mo let out a sigh and slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Second Sage, give up! Medicine Ancestor and Master are two of this world��s strongest existences, their strengths being unfathomable. One day in the future, you might be able to contend with their will. But right now, you��re unable to challenge their will at all. With your talent and strength, as long as you let nature take its course, you��ll be able to break the deadlock!��


    Ji Mo��s voice passed right through Ask Not and transmitted inside the chess game.


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� there��s no ��give up�� two words in my, Ye Yuan��s dictionary! Without the heart of a powerful powerhouse, how can one surmount above the nine heavens? I, Ye Yuan, will never be a chess piece! Competing in strength, I, Ye Yuan, am poles apart from you guys! But comparing will, I, Ye Yuan, absolutely won��t lose to you!��


    ��With my will, sever the firmament! Condense for me!��


    Ye Yuan roared wildly, a stubborn will surging to the sky.


    Amidst everyone��s dumbfounded gazes, an enormous sword slowly condensed and formed.


    That powerful aura was actually not the slightest bit weaker compared to the two sovereigns!


    A long sword condensed, slowly shooting to the sky, and actually flew over towards the giant cauldron.


    ��That��s the sword of will! How is that possible?��


    ��No way, right? Ye Yuan��s will is actually able to condense such a terrifying giant sword!��


    ��He��s going to clash head-on with the Medicine Ancestor here! Once he fails, his sea of consciousness will completely collapse, and he��ll die without a burial ground!��


    �� ��


    A series of exclamations came from outside the game.


    This sword of will was the manifestation of all of Ye Yuan��s will, fusing all of his comprehensions in Sword Dao and spatial law.


    The pressure among the wills was not the slightest bit weaker than the two heavyweights.


    Being able to condense such a terrifying sword of will indicated that Ye Yuan��s willpower was already comparable to the Medicine Ancestor, this kind of transcendent big shot.


    How could the people present not be surprised?


    Ji Mo looked at this scene. His expression was complicated as he muttered, ��As the saying goes, how big the heart is, how large heaven and earth is! I truly find it hard to imagine that you actually have such willpower! I finally understand why Master conferred you as Second Sage! I am inferior to you!��

 Chapter 2124 - Heaven-Defying Rise

    Crack �� Crack, crack.


    Shattering sounds came from above the void. The giant sword that Ye Yuan condensed actually started cracking.


    One fine thread after another came out from the sword of will.


    The two Transcendent Heavenly Emperors�� will suppression was ultimately too strong.


    Looking at the sword of will that was about to collapse, Heavenly Emperor Zixu said with a cold smile, ��Hmph! Hmph! See if you still don��t die! So what even if you condense a sword of will? Even if your will is higher than the heavens, how can it deal with two supreme powerhouses at the same time?��


    The giant cauldron and enormous palm were still falling. The sword of will barely managed to withstand these two powerful wills.


    It was just that looking at the appearance, it could not sustain for long.


    ��Sigh, ultimately weaker by a notch!��


    ��In this Heavenspan World, how many people dare to deal with these two powerhouses�� wills at the same time?��


    ��It is a shame. Second Sage is such a gifted character!��


    �� ��


    A series of lamentations came from outside the game, one after another feeling sorry for Ye Yuan, this genius who was about to fall.


    However, amidst the bemoaning, Ye Yuan��s palm faced the sky and another heaven-shocking will burst forth.


    ��With my dragon soul, stabilize the universe! Condense for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave an angry cry, his clothes fluttering madly in the strong wind.


    Immediately after, a dragon soul will that was not inferior to the sword of will rose to the sky.


    ��Roar!��


    The azure dragon��s mouth emitted an unwilling roar. That was the angry roar of rejecting fate. That was the angry roar of not fearing the powerful. That was the angry roar of not willing to be mediocre.


    The enormous dragon rose to the sky and welcomed the giant palm.


    Bang!


    A giant sword versus a giant cauldron. A giant dragon versus a giant palm.


    Amidst everyone��s dumbfounded gazes, the giant cauldron and the giant palm actually ceased their momentum of falling.


    Four powerful will forms actually confronted each other in the air.


    An enormous shock made this world tremble.


    Fierce wind howled; heaven and earth crumbled.


    The men and horses on the battlefield collapsed right away, being shocked into nothingness by these four powerful wills.


    ��This �� This is a true dragon will! How can he have such a pure and powerful true dragon will? This willpower has probably already reached the level of Ancestor!��


    Long Zhi looked at the Ye Yuan inside the game, his eyeballs almost popping out.


    Previously, even when Ye Yuan used dragon race bloodline and used the Voice of the Dragon God, he was not so surprised.


    But a true dragon will was different!


    The will existed in the divine soul. For Ye Yuan to be able to use true dragon will, it represented that he had a pure dragon soul!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan was a true dragon race member?


    Furthermore, this true dragon will could actually stand up to Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s giant palm as an equal. What kind of existence was that?


    Ye Yuan��s true dragon bloodline was even purer and stronger than the vast majority of the dragon race!


    By the side, Long Xiaochun also opened her eyes wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Not long ago, she already woke up.


    She opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, ��Ye Yuan��s true dragon will is actually even stronger than mine! Truly inconceivable!��


    However, it was not over yet.


    Ye Yuan held his palm up, another earth-shaking will rose to the sky once more.


    This time, it was an enormous qilin!


    Qilin Emperor Bone[1]!


    Ye Yuan did not know what level of a powerhouse of the Qilin Emperor Bone was when he was alive. But he had died for countless years and could still suppress Heavenly Emperor powerhouses with bloodline power. Even if it was inferior to the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, it was likely not far off either.


    Since that was the case, would the residual will inside the Qilin Emperor Bone be of the common sort?


    Sure enough, an enormous qilin leaped to the sky, rushing over towards the giant cauldron and giant palm.


    Bang!


    Heaven and earth trembled again!


    The addition of the qilin would make the battle situation undergo a heaven-shocking grand reversal.


    The giant cauldron and giant palm were actually pushed back by the three great wills!


    Sword of will, true dragon will, qilin will; three powerful wills, actually pushed the giant cauldron and giant palm, and rose high into the sky, heading straight for the clouds!


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Ye Yuan defeated the wills of two mighty Transcendent Heavenly Emperors with his will alone?��


    ��Just what kind of freak is this guy?!��


    ��He��s just at the True God Realm! When he reaches the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future, what kind of terrifying existence would he be?��


    �� ��


    This scene before their eyes came too shockingly. Everyone was stunned.


    Prior to this, no one was able to imagine that a True God��s willpower could actually contend with two great Transcendent Heavenly Emperors.


    Those two people were this world��s strongest existences!


    Dao Ancestors not emerging, the two of them could virtually be said to be undefeatable existences.


    Even if Ye Yuan was heaven-defying, when it condensed his will, contending with one person was already the limit.


    But who could have thought that Ye Yuan actually condensed three will forms all at once, and beat the will forms of the two mighty powerhouses back to above the sky!


    ��Argh �� !��


    Ye Yuan��s angry roar still lingered in their ears.


    Carrying unyieldingness, carrying powerful desire, the speed of the three great will forms became faster and faster, flying straight for the firmament.


    Bang!


    A loud bang came over, the entire chess game world quaked fiercely.


    A hole was poked out in the sky!


    It was deathly silent outside the game. Even Ji Mo also opened his mouth wide at this time, unable to close it for a long time.


    This scene was seriously too shocking.


    Before this, he already did his best to overestimate Ye Yuan.


    But how could he have thought that Ye Yuan was actually monstrous to such a degree?


    Sword of will!


    True dragon will!


    Qilin will!


    No matter which kind, they were extremely hard to come by existences.


    But these three kinds of willpower actually appeared on Ye Yuan at the same time.


    Simply unimaginable!


    A hint of a bitter smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, ��Master, just what kind of a terrifying opponent did you find! Once he rises up in the future, will you really be his match?��


    Even though this was inside the Ask Not chess game and not a true competition in strength, the potential and strength that Ye Yuan displayed made people daunted at the sight of it.


    This was a special battlefield. To a certain degree, Ye Yuan already defeated the teaming up of Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest two people.


    This kind of battle achievement was sufficient to shock the world.


    The more one reached his level of realm, the more one could feel the importance of Martial Dao will to a martial artist.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, without the heart of a powerhouse, how could one arrive at the summit and look down upon the world?


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu started dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape as he muttered, ��This �� How is this possible? How is this possible! A mere True God Realm��s willpower could actually defeat the Medicine Ancestor��s and Sacred Ancestor��s combined strike! Those two people are peerless powerhouses above Third Blight!��


    Originally, he already saw the appearance of Ye Yuan being crushed to pieces by these two wills.


    But who knew that all of a sudden, Ye Yuan rose up heaven-defyingly, his will surmounting the heavens, crushing the teaming up of the two mighty peerless powerhouses to dust.


    Even the world that the two people formed was shattered.


    This kind of result already exceeded their imaginations.


    Too terrifying!


    Bang!


    At this time, the world inside the chess game collapsed with a loud bang.


    Two enormous phantoms were projected in the world.


    The people finally saw the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s true faces.


    Although they could not be seen distinctly, they truly saw it.


    Originally, they were hidden in the depths of the chess game, unable to be seen at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan shattered the world, letting them reappear in the world!


    [1] [Annotation text missing]

 Chapter 2125 - You Are Too Old

    The void vanished into thin air, the chess game fell into a region of chaos.


    Two mighty sovereigns faced each other across space, without words.


    At this time, an enormous phantom suddenly cut in horizontally between the two.


    Looking at the appearance, it was actually Ye Yuan!


    The phantom slowly opened his mouth and said to the two people, ��Now, can I sit and debate on Dao with you guys?��


    Medicine Ancestor slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Possessing three astonishing wills is indeed seldom-seen. It��s just that, to sit and debate on Dao with us, you��re still not qualified enough!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest also said, ��How can our boundary be what you can imagine?��


    Ye Yuan said calmly, ��The people are confused by the chess game and don��t know that the chess game is the world that the two of you developed. Naming it a chess game, in reality, it��s the two of you refining to form a world with Alchemy Dao! It��s just that this world has an imbalance of Yin and Yang. It��s clearly one stronger one weaker; clearly unable to form a world, and naturally unable to form a pill. Just in terms of Alchemy Dao, actually �� the two of you have failed!��


    The moment these words came out, the two people were shocked.


    The two phantoms slowly turned their heads and looked toward Ye Yuan��s phantom.


    Those deep gazes seemingly wanted to see through Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, the two people both did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had such a profound understanding.


    And disregarding right or wrong, Ye Yuan had clearly already grasped the essence of the chess game.


    The chess game was a world, but in reality, it was also a medicinal pill!


    Bystanders thought that these two people were facing off, but actually, they were refining pills!


    One pill, one world!


    These two people were jointly creating a world.


    These two people��s Alchemy Dao already reached the acme of perfection.


    It was just that these words sounded like thunder in the ears of everyone in the outside world.


    Especially Ji Mo, his entire body trembled, his gaze revealing an incomparably shocked expression as if being enlightened.


    ��So that��s how it is! So that��s how it is!��


    There were countless priests in the city, but among these people, Ji Mo��s alchemy strength was the strongest!


    So Ye Yuan��s words had the greatest impact on him.


    To them, senior and junior brothers, the Ask Not chess game was all too familiar.


    Ever since following Sacred Ancestor High Priest, them senior and junior brothers had already researched the Ask Not chess game for no idea how many years.


    But them senior and junior brothers were unable to understand the true profound meaning of Ask Not from start to end.


    But presently, it was laid bare by Ye Yuan��s one remark!


    This was not a chess game, but a world, a medicinal pill!


    It was just that normal people refined pills with spirit medicines, these two people refined pills with Great Dao!


    The two integrated their own Dao into the chessboard with a great divine ability and created a world on the chessboard.


    It was called a showdown, but in reality, it was an alchemy battle!


    Each piece that landed developed a portion of the world.


    This kind of alchemy battle was simply a marvelous work of art!


    After the shock, Ji Mo used an even more shocked gaze to look at that enormous phantom, his expression indicating him being in a trance.


    Was this person really just a Six-star priest?


    This Ask Not chess game, he had studied it for no less than ten million years, but could not compare to Ye Yuan��s this one short day?


    Thinking up to here, Ji Mo could not help smiling bitterly.


    Them senior and junior brothers 11 people, which one wasn��t a prodigious talent in Alchemy Dao?


    In these several tens of millions of years, they had also always thought that this was the case, all the way until encountering Ye Yuan today.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao already touched the essence of Dao.


    A disdainful voice came from the Medicine Ancestor��s mouthm ��Humph! A mere ant also dares to have preposterous views on us, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! The world knows that this game was won by this ancestor. So how can it be your turn to come and butt in?��


    ��Hahaha ���� Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that.


    Medicine Ancestor��s face turned dark and he said, ��Impudent! What��s there to laugh about?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m laughing that you��re deceiving yourself as well as others!��


    A powerful aura rippled out. Everyone felt asphyxiated.


    Clearly, the Medicine Ancestor was enraged.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter, looking towards Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    This guy was too arrogant, to actually dare say that Medicine Ancestor was deceiving himself as well as others. Wasn��t this courting death?


    However, Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Stop making an empty show of strength! In this place, you��re merely the Medicine Ancestor��s ��Dao��. As long as your will can��t bring me down, you can��t do anything to me!��


    Medicine Ancestor sneered and said, ��You��re wrong! My Dao �� can also kill you!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. With a disdainful look on his face, he said coolly, ��You are already old! Others all call you Medicine Ancestor, but actually �� you��re not a Dao Ancestor. In these countless tens of thousands of years, you were unable to take this step. Do you know why?��


    Not waiting for Medicine Ancestor to speak, Ye Yuan continued, ��Because �� you��re afraid of losing!��


    ��You indeed won this game, but also lost! Because, if your heart yearned for Dao, this Ask Not chess game should be a complete world, a true pill of Great Dao, and not this current appearance! The vying of Alchemy Dao is vie and also fulfilling. If you have a mind as open as a valley, free from pride and prejudices, achieving a real world, that would be you winning! Just you wait. Come one day, you��ll be surpassed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Of course, you��ll also be surpassed by me! You are already old!��


    Each and every one of Ye Yuan��s words was akin to one heavy punch after another, striking onto Ji Mo��s soul.


    Other people��s boundaries were too shallow and completely did not know what Ye Yuan was talking about.


    But he understood!


    Ye Yuan��s words sounded wildly conceited, but actually, it concealed a profound theory.


    Alchemy Dao was different from Martial Dao.


    Martial Dao��s competition for hegemony did not have number one. If it was not a win, it was a loss.


    But what the competition for hegemony for Alchemy Dao competed in was Dao heart!


    If one��s Dao heart was firm, they should cherish each opportunity to refine pills, and not create an incomplete world.


    ��Heh, really spouting drivel! In this world, there��s actually someone who dares to talk about surpassing Medicine Ancestor! Even Sacred Ancestor High Priest couldn��t do it. Just based on his strength?�� Heavenly Emperor Zixu responded with a cold smile.


    ��In these countless years, there were countless alchemists who wanted to surpass the Medicine Ancestor. But no one had done it before. He thinks that he can do it because he��s talented? What a joke!�� Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun similarly said with a cold smile.


    The powerhouses in the outside world were all mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability.


    In their understanding, the Medicine Ancestor was already the perfection of Alchemy Dao; unable to surpass at all.


    This was the ��truth�� verified through countless springs and autumns!


    It was true that Ye Yuan��s talent was high, but wanting to surpass the Medicine Ancestor was totally impossible.


    ��Hahaha �� kid, I like thise words! Saying anymore is pointless, begin!��


    At this time, the Sacred Ancestor High Priest who had been silent all along sudden pointed at the void. The chessboard trembled once more.


    That cloud of chaos actually started trembling fiercely and actually divided into two segments!


    One finger, heaven and earth split!


    Medicine Ancestor gave a cold snort and also pointed at the void. A powerful force reverberated between heaven and earth.


    With this finger, heaven and earth split again!


    The power of Medicine Ancestor��s one finger was clearly much stronger than Sacred Ancestor High Priest. Heaven and earth became even more distinct from each other.


    ��Medicine Ancestor, this finger of yours is too strong! Sure enough, your heart of contending for the upper-hand has obstructed your advancement!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and similarly pointed a finger out.


    It was just that this finger pointing out did not have the two supreme powerhouses�� kind of power like nothing happened at all.


    Everyone was baffled. Wasn��t it sitting and debating on Dao? This was also too nonsensical, right?


    Sure enough, the difference between Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength and these two sovereigns was still too big!

 Chapter 2126 - Stabilizing the Universe!

    ��Mn?�� Medicine Ancestor��s uncertain voice came from above the void.


    But Sacred Ancestor High Priest laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� Brilliant! Stupendous! Kid, you indeed have some skills! It��s just that I wonder how long can you last under the two of our Great Dao!��


    Everyone had baffled faces. Ye Yuan��s move was clearly incomparably lousy. So how was it brilliant?


    But Ji Mo��s pupils shrunk, his eyes revealed an astonished look.


    Otherwise could not tell, but he could understand.


    Ye Yuan��s finger seemed plain and ordinary, but it perfectly remedied some latent dangers left behind during the process of the two great sovereigns hewing open heaven and earth.


    Going according to the original rhythm, even if the two great sovereigns opened up a world anew, the result would also be exactly the same as before.


    This was the outcome decided in the chess game. So no one could change it.


    But now, with Ye Yuan smoothing things over in the middle, it was totally different!


    Ye Yuan��s strength was insufficient to participate in the two people��s development of the world, to create the world.


    But he had his own Dao.


    ��This �� This is the Yin Yang Harmony that he spoke of? How incredible!�� Ji Mo could not refrain from marveling with admiration.


    When Long Zhi and the rest heard this, they did not understand but felt that it was very impressive.


    To be able to make Ji Mo let out such an emotional sigh, this finger move was absolutely remarkable.


    It was just that they were totally clueless about Alchemy Dao. So how could they see through the profundities involved?


    ��Again!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Sacred Ancestor High Priest pointed another finger out. Heaven and earth divided again.


    Medicine Ancestor gave a cold snort and also pointed a second finger out, being incomparably sharp.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze revealed a hint of a solemn look. But he also pointed a second finger out without the slightest hesitation.


    This finger was the same as before, also without any noise.


    The three people��s showdown seemed played down, but in reality, it was incomparably perilous.


    Under the two great sovereigns�� Great Dao, if Ye Yuan made the slightest error, it would be the outcome of being smashed to pieces.


    No matter how talented Ye Yuan was, he was also just a True God Realm powerhouse. So how could he bear two mighty Transcendent Heavenly Emperors�� Dao accumulations?


    Taking part in the two people��s showdown, he was actually serving a pivotal function in front of the two great sovereigns, borrowing force to deliver force, and not him really exerting much force.


    But how could this sort of thing be that simple?


    If it were bystanders, they probably would not even be able to block a single exchange and would be directly crushed to dust by the two great sovereigns�� power of Great Dao.


    But Ye Yuan��s realm was too low in the end. It was already extremely difficult to survive under the two great sovereigns�� heavy pressure, let alone that he even had to repair the damaged world because of the two people��s showdown in magical abilities.


    The second finger that Medicine Ancestor pointed out was incomparably swift and fierce. It contained thick Dao intent, with killing intent being extremely heavy.


    Medicine Ancestor��s move was clearly in order to exert greater pressure on Ye Yuan, trying to make him die under the two people��s Dao accumulations.


    The three people were akin to playing a game, taking turns to point out one finger after another.


    A brand new world gradually appeared in front of everyone.


    Ji Mo looked ahead, a trace of understanding flashing across in his eyes.


    To a powerhouse of his level, every improvement was extremely hard to come across. Not making advancements for several tens or even several hundreds of thousands of years was also normal.


    But these short few days of observation could match several tens of thousands of years of his bitter cultivation.


    Originally, he could not figure out the Ask Not chess game after racking his brains. But with Ye Yuan��s addition, he actually had a feeling of suddenly seeing the light.


    Ye Yuan��s technique was completely not worth mentioning in front of the two great sovereigns. But it was precisely because of his appearance that made this world become more perfect.


    The places where he cast the spell were all lacking areas originally in Ask Not, covering the incompleteness and regret caused by the two great sovereigns�� magical showdown.


    Under Ye Yuan��s participation, a perfect world was being sketched out little by little.


    Time passed day by day, the powerhouses of the outside world became more and more astonished.


    They had once thought of countless possibilities for Ye Yuan to clear Ask Not.


    But they had never thought that Ye Yuan was actually clearing the hurdle with such a method.


    Sitting and debating on Dao with two great sovereigns, creating a world, this kind of method was way too inconceivable.


    Before this, if someone said that a Six-star priest would sit and debate on Dao with the two great Alchemy Dao sovereigns, they would definitely turn their noses up in contempt and then ridicule the person endlessly.


    But now, their inner hearts were completely filled with shock.


    Time flew by, in a blink, half a year already passed.


    ��The situation isn��t good! You guys, look, Ye Yuan��s complexion is pale! It seems like he��s already completely drained like a lamp without oil.��


    ��It��s already been half a year! He hasn��t stopped in the slightest and is actually only at the end of his ropes until now! This guy is really a freak!��


    ��A True God Realm powerhouse is facing two great Alchemy Dao sovereigns, and yet he could actually hold on for as long as half a year! It��s simply unimaginable! Even I, this Empyrean, would have long reached the end of my ropes too!��


    �� ��


    Inside the chessboard, Ye Yuan��s complexion was pale, his forehead seeping out fine beads of sweat beads, his entire person seemingly very frail.


    A fierce battle lasting half a year, regardless of whether it was divine essence or soul force, Ye Yuan already reached the limit.


    ��Humph! Boy, I didn��t expect that you could hold out until now. But, it also ends here!��


    Medicine Ancestor gave a cold snort and pointed a finger out once more.


    Powerful Dao accumulations covered the world as easily as crushing dead leaves, inflicting heavy damage on the space that Sacred Ancestor High Priest created.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave a muffled groan, clearly also already running out of steam and expiring.


    Inside this Ask Not was a doomed game to begin with.


    How could the Sacred Ancestor High Priest be Medicine Ancestor��s match?


    If not for Ye Yuan taking part, this game of chess would merely be re-enacting the chess game back then.


    Powerful Dao accumulations crushed over towards Ye Yuan. At this time, such a powerful force was like the last strand of straw that overwhelmed the camel��s back; incomparably heavy.


    ��Hahaha �� So what even if you��re gifted? In the end, isn��t it still death! Ye Yuan, see if you still don��t die!��


    Seeing this situation, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun could not refrain from laughing out loud.


    He held extremely deep grudges toward Ye Yuan. Although he was shocked by Ye Yuan��s talent and strength, he wished that Ye Yuan would be wiped out by Medicine Ancestor.


    Heavenly Emperor Zixu looked toward Ji Mo and said with a smile, ��Lord Stardrive, this is the Lord Second Sage that you let us witness? That��s right, he��s indeed very impressive. But a dead Second Sage really lets people feel greatly consoled!��


    Ji Mo just snorted coldly and did not say anything.


    Concerning this round, he was not optimistic about it too.


    The current Ye Yuan was too frail.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze became slightly sharp and he said in a cold voice, ��What a fine Medicine Ancestor, really someone who is narrow-minded! Since that��s the case, then I��ll let you take a look at my true strength!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, both hands in the position of holding a ball. An enormous Tai Ji diagram emerged behind Ye Yuan.


    When Medicine Ancestor��s Dao accumulations landed on Ye Yuan��s body, it was immediately guided into the world by the Tai Ji diagram, repairing this world in an uninterrupted flow.


    ��Heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang; Yin and Yang stabilize the universe! Medicine Ancestor, you watch closely! This is my, Ye Yuan��s, Dao! Stabilize for me!��


    Ye Yuan turned his palm. The Tai Ji diagram behind Ye Yuan slowly started turning.


    This world of chess game actually gradually formed.


    Ye Yuan��s Great Dao aura actually completely overshadowed the two great sovereigns.


    There was only a Tai Ji Yin Yang diagram remaining in this world.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s palm shook, the Tai Ji diagram dissipated with a loud bang.

 Chapter 2127 - The Moment to Witness a Miracle!

    ��This is not possible! You �� Just how did you do it?��


    Inside the void, came Medicine Ancestor��s astonished voice.


    And just as the Tai Ji diagram dissipated with a loud bang, the entire Ask Not world emitted a dazzling light, and it actually started gradually contracting.


    That endless world transformed into one thick cyclone after another and started drawing in.


    The phantoms of the two great sovereigns also gradually started dissipating.


    ��Hahaha �� the young ones are to be feared! The young ones are to be feared! After ten million years, there��s finally someone that can take part in our two people��s game of chess!�� Although the Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s figure started dissipating, he laughed loudly without ceasing.


    Finally, the entire world turned into an enormous chessboard, it was precisely Ask Not!


    Except, a heaven-shocking transformation already happened to the chess game on the chessboard currently.


    ��This �� How is this possible?��


    ��A draw! It��s actually a draw!��


    ��This Empyrean has once researched the Ask Not chess game in detail before. No matter how hard one works, it will always be the outcome of defeat in the end. So how is this possible?��


    ��A miracle! This is the moment of a miracle! I��ve witnessed the birth of a miracle!��


    �� ��


    The entire place was in shock. The outcome of this Ask Not chess game actually became a tie!


    Those present were all major powers. So they naturally would not be unfamiliar with Ask Not.


    This Ask Not chess game, the Medicine Ancestor who played white occupied a tremendous advantage. The Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s declining trend already could not be salvaged.


    Saying that it was an eternal chess game, it was actually Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s defeat.


    But now, the chess game on the chessboard was already totally different.


    Black and white, two sides, each occupied half of the map.


    Not a piece more and not a piece less.


    The entire situation was extremely harmonious: there was you in me, me in you, and actually gave people a feeling of gladdening the heart and pleasing the eye.


    Perfect!


    This word sounded out in everyone��s hearts at the same time.


    Ji Mo looked at that chess game blankly and was speechless for a long time.


    Such a scene truly came too shockingly.


    To talk about the understanding of Ask Not, who could compare to him?


    Or perhaps, who could beat Sacred Ancestor High Priest?


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest had devoted himself to studying it and was also unable to crack this eternal game.


    Presently, in Ye Yuan��s hands, it actually transformed the rotten into the magical, reaching such a perfect and harmonious realm.


    Ye Yuan perfectly outlined the Ask Not world with his own Dao, forming the present situation.


    He was merely a Six-star Priest. So how did he do it?


    ��Hahahaha �� Eternal game! This is the true eternal game! Turns out that Ask Not��s final phase is actually like this!��


    Above the void, Ji Mo laughed loudly without ceasing.


    His mood had never been so free from inhibitions before.


    Ask Not was the sore point of his master for tens of millions of years. Now, it was finally solved.


    He knew that his master was definitely paying attention to this event. Right now, he must also be laughing heartily.


    In this world, the most terrifying thing was not a powerful opponent, but the loneliness of an expert.


    Now, his master finally found an Alchemy Dao sovereign that met his match. He must be very delighted and pleased.


    ��Zixu, did you find Second Sage��s game satisfactory to the eyes?�� Ji Mo looked toward Heavenly Emperor Zixu and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    The Qilin Clan��s powerhouses were long already dumbfounded.


    Even if they did not understand alchemy, they also knew that Ye Yuan had accomplished a remarkable major thing.


    This eternal game, Ask Not, the Qilin Clan also knew that this was the game between two great sovereigns.


    This game was an eternal puzzle.


    For tens of millions of years, no idea how many supreme powerhouses had attempted to solve this puzzle but failed to do so.


    But now, it was solved by a measly little Six-star priest. How could they not be surprised?


    It was solved!


    Completely solved!


    And not walked out of the chess game!


    These two concepts were totally different.


    For others, being able to protect themselves after entering the game and walking out of the puzzle safely was already a very impressive thing.


    But Ye Yuan shattered the world that the two great sovereigns structured with a heaven-shocking will, and also refined the pill anew with Great Dao together with a great divine ability and the two people, building a perfect world.


    This was a chess game and also a medicinal pill.


    This kind of situation was simply fantastical.


    Just based on this game, Ye Yuan��s name could go down in history!


    They had truly witnessed the moment of a miracle!


    What was laughable was that they were still jeering and making cutting remarks before this, thinking that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But now, they had their faces slapped blatantly.


    Being questioned, Heavenly Emperor Zixu��s expression flickered incessantly, being very ugly.


    Suddenly, Zixu clasped his hands and said to Ye Yuan, ��The title of Second Sage lives up to reality as well as in name! Zixu has offended Second Sage previously, please pardon my offense!��


    No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, the moment this game ended, no one could treat Ye Yuan as a junior any longer.


    He was a powerhouse that could genuinely compete with the two great sovereigns!


    Perhaps his current strength was still weak, but in the future, he had limitless possibilities!


    This point, no one was able to refute it.


    Maybe another Medicine Ancestor would really appear again in this world.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Zixu and said coolly, ��Now, do you still want to take the Qilin Emperor Bone?��


    Zixu��s expression turned stiff and he said, ��Not anymore! Second Sage, Lord Stardrive, Zixu takes his leave!��


    After he was done talking, Zixu brought Shaoyun and the rest along, and they quietly withdrew.


    They truly could not stay on in this place any longer. They also had no face to stay on.


    Originally thought that Ye Yuan was just a junior, snatch then snatch.


    But they discovered in the end that Ye Yuan was a future titan.


    The actions previously simply became a joke.


    ��A miracle! Really miraculous!��


    ��I finally understand why Sacred Ancestor High Priest would confer him as Second Sage!��


    ��Seeing this game today, I can brag for 100 thousand years!��


    �� ��


    There was a series of marveling in the city. They felt honored to have witnessed the moment of miracle.


    And those Priest Temple��s Seven-star Priests had abashed looks on their faces.


    Ye Yuan had once said to them that he was the opponent that Sacred Ancestor High Priest designated. At that time, they turned their noses up in contempt.


    Now, they finally understood that what Ye Yuan said was not false!


    Ye Yuan absolutely had the qualifications to become Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s opponent!


    In front of Ye Yuan, Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s disciples appeared to be cast into the shade.


    ��Incredible! Truly too impressive! I �� I want to take him as my master!�� In the city, Long Xiaohai waved his hands about agitatedly. His complexion was flushed red.


    ��Hehe, I��m afraid that Ye Yuan will find you too stupid! Hang on, if you acknowledge him as master, wouldn��t I become his junior? No way!�� Long Xiaochun immediately denied it.


    But Long Xiaohai ignored her and was still immersed in the midst of excitement.


    He already completely became Ye Yuan��s fan, his ardent worshiper.


    Long Zhi who was by the side was also speechless for a long time.


    He also did not expect that this young man was actually so heaven-defying.


    ��Second Sage, this emperor also has to apologize to you. Prior to this, I also had many suspicions about Second Sage. Now, I��m wholeheartedly convinced!�� Ji Mo bowed in salute and said to Ye Yuan.


    This bow came from the bottom of his heart.


    Even following by Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s side, Ji Mo also found it very hard to understand his master��s actions and profound meaning behind them.


    But today, he witnessed Ye Yuan��s miracle and finally understood his master��s painstaking effort.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��My realm is too low. Causing people to give birth to underestimation is normal. As for apologizing, there��s no need. With High Priest Stardrive delivering Ask Not personally, this Ye is endlessly grateful.��

 Chapter 2128 - The Condition to Become a Supreme Powerhouse

    ��Ji Mo, how do you feel about the trip to Westspirit Region?�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at the Ji Mo in front of him and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    With Ye Yuan clearing the hurdle, Ji Mo hastily bade farewell to Ye Yuan very quickly and returned to report to Sacred Ancestor High Priest on the mission.


    At this time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s 11 disciples were all present.


    It was just that their expressions appeared somewhat awkward, especially High Priest Redplume.


    Ji Mo blushed with shame. But thinking of Ye Yuan��s soul-stirring Tai Ji developing Dao, he could not help revealing a look of admiration.


    He bowed and said, ��Master, Ji Mo is completely convinced! Second Sage is prodigious and is bound to be a big shot that shakes heaven and earth in the future!��


    While talking, Ji Mo was very respectful.


    When he mentioned Ye Yuan, it was actually like facing a senior.


    If High Priest Stardrive��s demeanor was seen by people, they would definitely be incomparably shocked.


    Wing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You apprentice brothers few people have always been arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. Apart from Master, you��ve never submitted to anyone. I didn��t expect that this time, you were actually subdued by Ye Yuan!��


    Ji Mo smiled bitterly and said, ��If not for seeing with my own eyes, Ji Mo finds it really hard to believe that there��s actually such an alchemy rare talent in this world! Second Sage seems to be born for Alchemy Dao. A short thousand over years and he can actually spy right at the source of Great Dao. It truly makes people sigh with admiration!��


    The event during this half a year, Ji Mo felt as if it was right in front of his eyes.


    Each finger that Ye Yuan pointed out seemed to have the effect of shocking the soul.


    Wing smiled and looked towards High Priest Redplume and said, ��Yan Hui, do you �� still have resentment in your heart now?��


    High Priest Redplume��s expression was slightly red as he bowed and said, ��Replying master, Yan Hui �� is convinced! It��s just, Yan Hui doesn��t understand why he, a Six-star priest, can actually do it to this step?��


    Wing put away his smile and said, ��Actually, this performance also made Master incredibly shocked! About this Ask Not chess game, Master has researched for tens of millions of years and was unable to achieve fusing Dao into one, but �� he did it! Looks like the day of my showdown with him isn��t far already!��


    Letting Ji Mo bring Ask Not over, what Wing expected was not for Ye Yuan to break the deadlock.


    Even if he sealed 50% of the power, breaking the deadlock was also not what Ye Yuan��s bit of strength could accomplish.


    But Ye Yuan��s performance far exceeded his expectations.


    Ye Yuan actually solved the puzzle of tens of millions of years and created a new world.


    Such a result shocked the world.


    It naturally also included him, Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    ��Could it be that his understanding of Alchemy Dao already surpasses Master?�� Yan Hui said in puzzlement.


    Wing shook his head and said, ��Surpassing master is naturally impossible. Him being able to complete such a heroic feat actually has elements of gaining advantage through trickery. But he has already taken his own Dao path. That��s the most crucial thing!��


    ��His own Dao path?�� The disciples were all uncertain.


    Wing slowly nodded and said, ��Back then, when you all challenged the Ask Not chess game, you were all willing to be chess pieces, playing chess with Medicine Ancestor under Master��s manipulation. This is also to say that you all are walking according to the path that Master designated. Therefore, even if tens of millions of years have passed, the path that you all have taken is also merely a branch of master��s. Wanting to surpass Master is simply impossible! And looking at the Heavenspan World, sovereigns that can tide over Third Blight and above must have their own path(Dao)[1].��


    When the group of disciples heard this, their facial expressions changed wildly.


    This was their first time hearing the secret of becoming a sovereign powerhouse.


    Wing��s words stirred up tumultuous waves in their hearts.


    For countless years, they revered Master as a god. But only today did they discover that turns out they merely walked Master��s path.


    ��Master, this ���� Eldest Disciple Splitfeather said in great shock.


    Wing waved his hand and said, ��Master knows what you want to say, but that��s impossible! Unless you have the tremendous resolve to give up everything you possess now and start again anew!��


    Splitfeather��s expression flickered incessantly and finally turned into a long sigh.


    Wing smiled and said, ��Are you all blaming Master for only telling you guys this now?��


    Splitfeather was terrified as he said, ��D-Disciple dares not.��


    Their mouths said dare not, but did they really not have any thoughts in their hearts?


    Wing naturally knew what they were thinking and said with a chortle, ��Major powers that are Third Blight and above, how many do you think you can find in this Heavenspan World? From that moment when you all chose to submit inside Ask Not, your lifetime��s path was also decided. Want to become a sovereign, perseverance, willpower, talent, not one can be lacking! You all ask yourselves. If you guys are given a chance to redo it again, can you achieve Ye Yuan��s level?��


    The group of apprentice brothers exchanged glances. In the end, they actually lowered their heads without any prior agreement.


    The answer was clearly no.


    They understood Ask Not too well!


    Not submitting, it was death!


    The will of a sovereign, they could not resist it at all.


    But Ye Yuan could!


    During these tens of millions of years, only Ye Yuan alone replaced the Sacred Ancestor��s will when challenging Ask Not, and he played a game of chess against Medicine Ancestor.


    Just this point, they were already unable to surpass.


    As for challenging Ask Not the second time, Ye Yuan rose up heaven-defyingly, contending with the pinnacle will of two great sovereigns with his power alone. This was even more inconceivable.


    They were thrown even further behind until they could only see the dust ahead.


    Hence, Ye Yuan could become Second Sage, while they could not!


    Wing��s meaning was very simple. Their talents and will were insufficient to become a supreme powerhouse.


    Being able to have today��s accomplishment was already a great fortune.


    There were many geniuses in this world. But those truly able to tread out their own path and become a supreme powerhouse, were extremely, extremely few.


    ��Walking other people��s path is easy! Taking your own path is as hard as ascending to heaven! For Master being able to walk till today, how can the experiences involved be what you all can imagine? For Ye Yuan to be able to have such accomplishments at a young age, his story is likely even more exciting than the vast majority of this Heavenspan World��s supreme powerhouses!�� Wing said.


    Ji Mo mused and said, ��In this case, that Tai Ji diagram was Ye Yuan��s Dao?��


    Wing nodded and said, ��Although his Dao is at the nascent level, that Tai Ji diagram gave me a feeling of being as deep as the sea. Martial Dao is difficult, but Alchemy Dao is even harder! However, I have a feeling that Ye Yuan��s future accomplishments might even be above mine and Medicine Ancestor��s!��


    The group of apprentice brothers trembled all over, looking at Master in disbelief.


    This appraisal was too high!


    Medicine Ancestor was only a hair��s breadth away from Dao Ancestor.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan could become the real Medicine Ancestor in the future?


    Yan Hui��s face changed and he said, ��In this case, isn��t Master warming a snake in your bosom?��


    ��Hahaha �� warming a snake in my bosom? Everyone is afraid of losing. The more powerful, the more afraid of failure! But they have forgotten. It��s precisely failure that let him walk until this step today! The Medicine Ancestor is afraid of being surpassed by me, so he has always been suppressing me, not letting me lift my head. But reaching Master��s realm, wanting to improve another step further is far too difficult! Master needs an opponent! Moreover, this insult, master has already held it in for 50 million years! Even if I lose to Ye Yuan, there��s still him going to challenge Medicine Ancestor! Watching him lose is also a very merry thing, so I don��t see any reason why not,�� Wing said with a big laugh.

 Chapter 2129 - East Suppression Pseudo World

    ��No way! You can��t acknowledge him as your master! If you acknowledge him as your master, then wouldn��t I be directly a generation younger?��


    ��I must take Second Sage as my master! Miss, this village, there won��t be this shop anymore[1]!��


    ��I said no, means no! If you insist on acknowledging him as your master, I��ll cry for you to see!��


    ��You��re pestering endlessly!��


    ��You��re refusing to see reason! Hmph!��


    Inside the Priest Temple��s hall, two figures were tugging and pulling, becoming tangled together. It was precisely Long Xiaohai and Long Xiaochun brother and sister two people.


    While behind him, Long Zhi shook his head slightly.


    This Long Xiaochun was really troublesome.


    Xin Luo slowly came out of the inner hall. Seeing this scene, he could not help smiling as he said, ��Please wait a moment. Lord Crimsonsky is currently consulting Lord Second Sage. Lord Second Sage will be out very soon.��


    Long Zhi nodded slightly, indicating that he got it.


    He was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. He naturally did not need to express anything to Xin Luo.


    Presently, Ye Yuan already moved into the Priest Temple. The temple served him with the highest standards, revering him as a god.


    Every day, a group of Empyreans would pay respects morning and night, being incomparably respectful.


    Crimsonsky even put aside all of his pride and came to pay respects to Ye Yuan every day, asking him for advice on alchemy aspect knowledge.


    Every day, he returned fully loaded.


    Before long, Ye Yuan slowly came out of the inner hall. Behind him was Crimsonsky and Loneswan, two great Empyreans.


    When Long Xiaochun saw Ye Yuan, she arrived in front of Ye Yuan with a whoosh and pointed at him fiercely as she said, ��Ye Yuan, you��re not allowed to take Big Brother Xiaohai as a disciple! Otherwise, the two of us will break off all relations!��


    Ye Yuan had a blank look, completely unaware of what was going on.


    But Long Xiaohai was greatly enraged. Pulling Long Xiaochun, he said, ��Xiaochun, you��re not allowed to mess around! Lord Second Sage, Long Xiaohai wishes to acknowledge you as master!��


    As he said, Long Xiaohai actually directly knelt down.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped him up and said, ��Brother Xiaohai mustn��t! If you have any doubts about alchemy, feel free to come to find this Ye to discuss. But the talk of acknowledging a master, you mustn��t say it anymore. You and Xiaochun are both this Ye��s saviors. How can I take you in as my disciple? Also, don��t keep calling me Lord Second Sage. Just call me by my name, and that will do.��


    Long Xiaochun patted Ye Yuan��s shoulder and said with a big laugh, ��Haha, you��re really terrific! If Long Xiaohai were to acknowledge you as master, then wouldn��t I become a generation younger for no reason? Do you hear it, Long Xiaohai?��


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This girlie��s thought process was indeed abnormal than most people.


    Long Xiaohai had a depressed face as he said, ��But �� we��ll be returning to the Dragon Clan soon! At that time, where would I go to ask you for advice?��


    At this time, Long Zhi hesitated a bit, but he still bowed towards Ye Yuan and said, ��Long Zhi pays respect to Second Sage.��


    He could ignore Xin Luo, but facing Ye Yuan, this existence who suppressed the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, the two sovereigns, he had no choice but to put away the pride of a Heavenly Emperor.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan��s strength, regardless of whether it was Long Zhi or Qi Zixu, they all realized Ye Yuan��s importance to Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    If any mishap happened to Ye Yuan, under Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s fury, the latter might really launch a divine war!


    Nobody could shoulder this consequence.


    Therefore, no matter how the Qilin coveted the emperor bone, they did not dare to do anything to Ye Yuan either.


    As for Qi Zhen, under Ye Yuan��s light, he did not matter at all anymore.


    How could a mere Qi Zhen be mentioned in the same breath with the entire demon race��s Second Sage?


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Heavenly Emperor Long Zhi is too courteous. Please, sit.��


    Everyone sat down as guest and host. Crimsonsky was the same as Loneswan, standing by the side and carrying out the etiquette of a disciple.


    ��Heavenly Emperor Long Zhi, you probably have important things to ask this Ye by coming to the temple, right?�� Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Long Zhi��s expression turned intent and he said with a nod, ��Second Sage has the Qilin Emperor Bone on your body, releasing qilin will isn��t surprising. But where did this true dragon will �� come from?��


    These few days, Long Zhi was extremely puzzled in his heart.


    Ye Yuan actually released such a pure true dragon will and could even unleash such a pure dragon race martial technique. Could it be that he was a member of the dragon race?


    The true dragon will that Ye Yuan released was not the same as the qilin will!


    The true dragon will was released by the dragon soul.


    At that time, the unyielding dragon soul soared straight to the clouds. As a member of the dragon race, Long Zhi naturally felt it very clearly!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I say that I��m a member of the dragon race, do you believe it?��


    Long Zhi��s pupils constricted, his eyes full of complicatedness as he said, ��Second Sage must be joking. How �� can you possibly be a dragon?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m not kidding! This Ye possess an Atavism Dragon Soul. Furthermore, it��s already more than half awakened. The dragon race��s cultivation method and martial technique isn��t some secret to me.��


    Long Zhi��s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, ��Atavism Dragon Soul! You��re actually of the Atavism Dragon Soul! Even in the Dragon Clan, Atavism Dragon Soul is also one in a million! In this case �� you��re really of the dragon race?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Through and through!��


    Long Zhi��s heart shook wildly. Atavism Dragon Soul was one of the paramount dragon souls.


    Not only did this Second Sage have the talent to rule the world, he even had the dragon race��s supreme inheritance. He simply gathered a great destiny onto himself!


    Even Long Xiaochun also opened her mouth wide at this time, looking at Ye Yuan with a shocked face.


    ��Y-Y-You �� are actually of the Atavism Dragon Soul! This is the most monstrous inheritance. As long as you keep awakening it, your strength will be able to soar by leaps and bounds and don��t need to cultivate at all!�� Long Xiaochun said with surprise.


    ��It��s just that I don��t know who �� Second Sage��s ancestor is. Our Dragon Clan has been reclusive from the world for a long time already. I��ve never heard of anyone leaving the pseudo world,�� Long Zhi said curiously.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know about this either. There are no memories in this area in my inheritance. Maybe, this portion of memories is in the inheritance at the back. However �� I can feel that my ancestor was likely just an Empyrean and not some incredible existence.��


    After awakening at rank six, Ye Yuan could feel that his dragon soul was already almost reaching grand completion.


    Reckon that awakening one more time was already the limit.


    Moreover, a dragon that was able to follow Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, his strength probably would not be too strong either.


    After all, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was also just an Empyrean.


    If it was the Dragon Clan��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, they would totally turn their noses up at Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    By the side, Long Xiaohai��s eyes swiveled around and he suddenly spoke up, ��Why not do it like this? Brother Ye, make a trip with us to East Suppression Pseudo World! Perhaps after returning to the Dragon Clan, you��ll be able to find your origin. Furthermore, we can also discuss Alchemy Dao.��


    The moment Long Xiaochun heard, her eyes could not help lighting up as she clapped her hands and applauded. She said, ��Good! Good! No wonder the first time I saw Ye Yuan, it was just seeing my biological brother. Maybe our bloodline is very close?��


    But Long Zhi��s gaze turned intent, an appearance of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back.


    Letting a stranger go to the Dragon Clan, he was a little worried.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard this, he was also greatly moved.


    He was also very curious about his origin. But the origin of the Four Phase Divine Beast, even Dustless could not say for sure either.


    Dustless seemed to have had this segment of memories wiped away.


    It seemed like there were still many unknown secrets on Immortal Grove.

 Chapter 2130 - Meeting With a Mishap in the Stronghold

    Lush mountains and blue rivers, birds chirped, flowers fragrant, and monkeys crying.


    A lonely boat flowed down leisurely along the current in the midst of the mountains and water.


    Several people stood on the boat, admiring the beautiful scenery on both shores, laughing with praises unceasingly.


    ��Young Master, this place is really so beautiful! If we can live here together with Elder Sister Li-er they all, how great would that be!��


    Seeing this otherworldly paradise-like scenic view, Lu-er��s heart gave rise to a yearning for it.


    As for Loneswan and the rest, they had yearning looks on their faces.


    East Suppression Pseudo World was extremely mysterious, barely anyone in the entire Heavenspan World knew.


    He did not expect that he could actually enter here one day.


    It was all thanks to their master!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Beauty is beautiful, but it secretly conceals killing intent! How can there truly be some otherworldly paradise in this world?��


    Lu-er opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief, ��Secretly conceals killing intent? Why don��t I feel it at all?��


    It was not just Lu-er. Even Loneswan had a blank look, clearly not discovering any dangers.


    Ye Yuan said, ��With the Dragon Clan��s power, how can the restrictions laid down be easily seen through? These two shores are brimming with vigor and vitality, too beautiful to be absorbed all at once, and may be rated as perfect. However, things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. The more it��s a place like this, the more dangerous it is instead. The surroundings of this brook are full of powerful restrictions everywhere. I��m afraid that even if a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse comes, once the person triggers the restrictions, they would turn to ashes too.��


    When everyone heard, their hairs could not help standing on end.


    The environment here was too beautiful. It was very hard for them to link it together with danger.


    By the side, a hint of surprise flashed across in Long Zhi��s eyes, and he said with a marvel: ��Well-deserving of being Second Sage, seeing through the actual situation with one glance. Looks like Second Sage has already touched the source of Great Dao.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Just a wild guess. Rather, this Ye is somewhat surprised that Senior Long Zhi actually agreed to let me enter the Dragon Clan.��


    Although Long Zhi had some qualms, he still agreed in the end.


    Resting for a few days in Westspirit Region, he brought Ye Yuan and company and set off for the East Suppression Pseudo World.


    Long Zhi smiled and said, ��Honestly speaking, Long Zhi is also very curious about Second Sage.��


    Long Xiaochun immediately jumped up and said, ��Yeah, yeah, you��re really an enigmatic man, full of mysteries from head to toe!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You��re also an enigmatic girl!��


    Giggling and laughing along the way, suddenly, everyone seemed to have passed through a thin film.


    Everyone realized that they had probably already entered East Suppression Pseudo World.


    The scene did not change, it was still green hills and blue waters, birds tweeting and the flowers fragrant.


    But the dragon race bloodline in Ye Yuan��s body suddenly started boiling with excitement, as if the blood in his body was going to evaporate.


    Feeling the pure dragon race pressure on Ye Yuan��s body, even Long Zhi��s expression changed slightly too.


    This bit of pressure was naturally unable to make him visibly moved. But the purity of Ye Yuan��s bloodline, even he was also unbelievably surprised.


    Long Zhi could not help being secretly alarmed. Just what was this guy��s background? Why would he have such a pure bloodline?


    He did not know that Ye Yuan��s bloodline was incomparably pure to begin with.


    Now that he transcended six levels of Nirvanic Tribulation and achieved the perfect sixth transformation golden body, his bloodline evolved to an inconceivable level.


    Of course, his future path was even more bumpy and thorny too.


    The perfect seventh transformation would be a life-and-death ordeal to Ye Yuan!


    ��It��s like having returned home! Could it be that my root is actually here?�� Ye Yuan raised his head to the sky, feeling endless vicissitudes of emotion in his heart.


    Walking all the way from the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan wandered all over the world.


    Now, he actually had a feeling of returning home. It was really inconceivable.


    ��Xiaochun, Xiaohai, you guys settle Second Sage down first. I��ll go to the clan to report completion on the mission first,�� Long Zhi said.


    Long Xiaochun waved her hand and said, ��Quickly go! Quickly go! Having me here will do!��


    Long Zhi nodded his head, his figure moving, disappearing from everyone��s line of sight.


    No idea how long they traveled either, the few people finally got ashore.


    The party was very swift on their feet, leaping into the air and flying over toward inland.


    Several days later, an enormous stronghold appeared in front of everyone.


    After landing and entering the stronghold, Ye Yuan was also very curious and started looking around.


    Inside the stronghold, there were men and women, elderly and young, their expressions peculiar.


    The appearance of Ye Yuan and his group immediately drew many people��s attention.


    But Ye Yuan discovered that each and every one of these dragons revealed a strange look. Inside those eyes exuded a thick look of fear, and actually avoided them like the plague.


    ��East Suppression Pseudo World has a total of nine great heaven strongholds, 81 earth strongholds, and countless black strongholds and yellow strongholds. The Raindragon Stronghold that we��re at is one of the 81 earth strongholds! Uncle Zhi is our Raindragon Stronghold��s protector elder ����


    Long Xiaochun was clearly very enthusiastic, introducing to Ye Yuan the East Suppression Pseudo World��s local customs and practices.


    According to what Long Xiaochun said, the nine great heaven strongholds ruled East Suppression Pseudo World. Only dragons with the noblest bloodline had the qualifications to enter the heaven strongholds.


    That place was the Dragon Clan��s core, countless supreme powerhouses.


    But even the 81 earth strongholds were also equivalent to the outside world��s Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas.


    Each earth stronghold had a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse garrisoning!


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan and the rest could not help feeling overcome with emotion.


    The dragon race was well-deserving of being an ancient variant species. The might of their strength was simply unimaginable.


    ��Xiaochun, why do I feel that your clansmen seem to be very scared of us?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Long Xiaochun chuckled and said, ��How so? No need to care about them. Come, I��ll bring you guys to the residence.��


    By the side, Long Xiaohai wanted to speak but swallowed the words back. At the end, he still did not speak up.


    It was just that how could this scene hide from Ye Yuan��s eyes?


    But if they did not say, it was also not convenient for Ye Yuan to inquire more. He could only gloss it over.


    Long Xiaochun brought Ye Yuan to a stone house that was not small and stayed there.


    ��Brother Ye, you stay here first. Tomorrow, I��ll bring you to stroll around Raindragon Stronghold.�� Long Xiaohai said with clasped hands.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Then I��ll have to trouble you!��


    After Long Xiaohai left, Ye Yuan directly went into closed-seclusion to cultivate and did not speak for the entire night.


    Early morning the next day, Ye Yuan went out of the stone house and was planning on strolling around nearby, but then he saw a large group of people crowding around ahead, raising a big hue and cry.


    Moving close to take a look, he was immediately greatly enraged.


    Three dragon race young men were actually surrounding Lu-er and Yang Fei-er, their expressions very obscene.


    ��Hahaha, human girls, this young master hasn��t tasted before yet! Girl, follow me, Long Hao. I��ll guarantee that you��ll be merry as an immortal everyday in the future!�� A man in the middle with shaggy eyebrows and a very obscene expression actually reached his hand out to touch Yang Fei-er��s chin[1].


    At this time, Yang Fei-er and Lu-er were already being restrained and did not have the strength to resist at all.


    These three dragon race men were very powerful. Looking at their auras, they were already peak rank six.


    Although Yang Fei-er was also a Ninth Firmament True God, how could she be a match for members of the dragon race at the same rank?


    As for Lu-er, although she was extraordinarily talented, her strength was much weaker after all.


    At this time, Yang Fei-er and Lu-er��s clothing were somewhat in a mess. Clearly, they had experienced a fight just now.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, flames of fury surged to his head.


    ��Stop!�� Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, divided the crowd, and walked out.


    The moment Long Hao turned his head and looked, he could not help sneering coldly as he said, ��Yo, isn��t this the human brat who came together with that misfortune star? Why? These two beauties are your women? Starting from today, they belong to me!��


    [1] [Annotation text missing]

 Chapter 2131 - Oh, Is That So?

    ��Huhu, belong to you?��


    Ye Yuan laughed from extreme fury, but his words were full of killing intent.


    Lu-er was Ye Yuan��s reverse scale.


    For her, Ye Yuan did not even stint to employ the Heaven Shocking Lightning.


    Now, this Long Hao actually provoked in his face like this, how could he not be furious?


    But Long Hao was not aware of it at all. He said with a smug look, ��That��s right, belong to me! You might not know who I am. I��m �� cough, cough, cough ����


    Long Hao��s words were just said halfway when his voice suddenly cut off, like a duck that had its throat clutched.


    Ye Yuan��s both hands already clutched onto his neck.


    A tremendous force came over. Long Hao felt like his neck was going to be twisted off, his face flushing bright red, eyes rolling back.


    ��Just now, you said that they belong to you?�� Ye Yuan��s words did not carry the slightest emotion, the force from his hands becoming greater and greater.


    His present fleshy body��s strength already reached peak rank six. How tremendous was his strength?


    In front of a perfect sixth transformation golden body, even if Long Hao was of the dragon race, he did not have any leftover strength to resist at all too.


    By the side, a young man said, ��Human brat, you dare to act wildly in my Dragon Clan��s territory? Let go of Long Hao. Otherwise �� you��re dead for sure today!��


    Thud!


    ��Cough, cough, cough ����


    Long Hao landed on the ground, holding his neck as he started coughing fiercely.


    When everyone saw the situation, they even thought that Ye Yuan yielded.


    The other young man said, ��Heh, at least you��re sensible, kid! It isn��t your turn to act wildly here!��


    ��This Ye has just come to your esteemed land. I don��t wish to bring trouble to myself. The three of you, kowtow and admit your fault to Lu-er and Senior Apprentice Sister Fei-er, and this matter �� will be dropped,�� Ye Yuan completely ignored the other party and said coolly.


    Listening to the first half of the sentence, everyone even thought that Ye Yuan was scared and yielded.


    But hearing the second half, everyone could not help finding it funny.


    Making these three people kneel down and kowtow? How was this possible?


    ��This human brat really doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Long Hao is Protector Elder Long Chi��s grandson. Who dares to provoke him in this Raindragon Stronghold?��


    ��This human kid succeeded in sneak attacking just now. He probably isn��t clear yet about Long Hao, the three of their strengths!��


    ��Long Hao is the young generation��s pinnacle genius. Just half a step and he��ll be able to reach rank seven, Empyrean Realm! This kid will likely suffer some hardship!��


    �� ��


    When everyone around heard Ye Yuan��s words, they could not help shaking their heads.


    By relying on his grandfather, no one dared to provoke Long Hao in Raindragon Stronghold.


    The other two people, Long Fei and Long Cheng, were also both Raindragon Stronghold��s elders�� grandsons.


    These three people��s backgrounds were extremely powerful. Who dared to provoke?


    Moreover, with these three people joining hands, if an Empyrean did not come out, there was virtually no match.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan just relied on his speed and defeated his opponent with a surprise move, controlling Long Hao. That was all.


    Now, Long Hao had his guard up, everyone did not feel that he had high chances of winning.


    When Lu-er and Yang Fei-er saw Yang Fei-er, their hearts immediately became much calmer.


    Arriving at East Suppression Pseudo World, the local customs and practices here were greatly different from the outside world.


    Under their curiosity, the two of them came out to take a look early in the morning.


    Who knew that they had just stepped out not long and ran into Long Hao three people.


    Long Hao three people had their lust aroused at the sight of them and actually wanted to make a move against the two of them. Lu-er and Yang Fei-er naturally disobeyed. That was how there was this current situation.


    Lu-er pulled the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves and said softly, ��Young Master, better forget it. This place �� This place is the Dragon Clan��s territory after all.��


    She and Yang Fei-er were not worried about Long Hao, but this place was the Dragon Clan��s territory. If really blow matters up, they had nowhere to run.


    After all, everyone knew about the might of the Dragon Clan.


    ��Making them kowtow is already considered letting them off! Otherwise �� humph!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    ��Kowtow? I kowtow your f*cking head! Long Fei, Long Cheng, attack together! Exterminate him for me!��


    Long Hao roared and suddenly threw a palm out.


    Universe Dragon Claw third stance, Grand Universe Palm!


    Currently, Long Hao was extremely near Ye Yuan. Him using a heaven-shocking martial technique like the Grand Universe Palm this near to Ye Yuan, how horrifying was the power?


    Long Fei and Long Cheng��s reactions were also extremely fast, firing out a palm at the same time.


    Three great peak rank six powerhouses attacking at the same time, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    However, Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said in a solemn voice, ��Looks like you guys are courting deaths yourselves!��


    Grand Universe Palm!


    At this time, Ye Yuan made his move fiercely. It was actually the Grand Universe Palm too!


    Except, the moment Ye Yuan��s Grand Universe Palm was executed, it was as if space solidified.


    The power of his palm actually completely overshadowed the three people!


    Bang!


    A loud bang came over, the three people flew out at the same time.


    Ye Yuan��s palm repelled three great peak rank six dragons!


    Everyone looked at this scene dumbfounded with their tongues tied, faces full of disbelief.


    ��How is this possible? He actually knows the Grand Universe Palm too!��


    ��Why is his Grand Universe Palm��s power even above Long Hao��s?��


    �� ��


    Beyond the shock, everyone was more puzzled.


    Ye Yuan��s Grand Universe Palm was actually even stronger than Long Hao��s!


    One had to know, among the Raindragon Stronghold��s young generation, Long Hao��s strength was already the strongest!


    Apart from Long Xiaochun, nobody was his match at all.


    Now, Ye Yuan fought one-versus-three and actually utterly trounced his opponents. It was simply inconceivable.


    Long Hao being blown flying with one punch, his innards already suffered a shock, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment and said in disbelief, ��You �� How do you know the Grand Universe Palm?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was icy-cold and was completely disinclined to bother with him.


    Bang!


    Another Grand Universe Palm!


    This palm actually flew toward Long Fei, directly bombarding him into dregs!


    Everyone opened their mouths wide with disbelieving faces.


    Ye Yuan actually dared to kill people!


    Long Fei was Elder Long Yu��s son? Was this guy mad?


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate. Raising his hand, it was another palm!


    Long Cheng was dead!


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan actually killed Long Fei and Long Cheng, these two mighty young powerhouses.


    Then, he slowly walked over toward Long Hao.


    Long Hao��s expression changed drastically, a look of fear finally revealing on his face. He collapsed on the ground and shifted backward, saying tremblingly, ��You �� What do you want to do? I �� I��m Protector Elder Long Chi��s grandson!��


    ��Oh, is that so? I gave you the chance, it was you who didn��t grasp it yourself! Since that��s the case, go and die then!��


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, a palm lifting up once more.


    The surroundings were deathly silent. This guy was really a lunatic!


    A horrifying power gathered at Ye Yuan��s palm.


    Long Hao��s complexion turned pale. He used all the strength in his body and suddenly scurried into the distance.


    Ye Yuan just laughed coldly. Competing on speed, who could beat him?


    But right at this time, a powerful to the extreme aura suddenly descended.


    Clearly, the commotion here already startled Raindragon Stronghold��s upper echelon.


    ��Child, you dare?! Stop at once! This Empyrean will spare your life!�� An alarmed and angry voice came from above the void.


    ��It��s Long Hao��s father, Empyrean Long Yu!��


    ��He arrived, this human kid is dead for sure!��


    ��Long Hao is really blessed! Luckily, Empyrean Long Yu arrived in time, he can escape death.��


    �� ��


    When Long Hao heard his father��s voice, he could not help being overjoyed.


    ��Hahaha �� Kid, my father has arrived! With this, you��re dead for sure!�� Long Hao turned around and said with a wild laugh.


    ��Oh, is that so?�� Right at this time, an icy-cold voice sounded in his ear.

 Chapter 2132 - You Can’t Kill Him

    The wild elation that filled his chest instantly turned into limitless terror.


    Long Hao��s expression changed wildly, frightened until his soul nearly left his body.


    He did not understand it. Didn��t his father already arrive? How did this guy move beside him?


    This was the final thought in his mind.


    After this second, he was thoroughly blasted into residue by Ye Yuan.


    ��Hao-er!��


    Behind, came Long Yu��s heaven-shocking angry roar.


    He made it with his fastest speed and locked onto Ye Yuan with powerful world power, planning on killing Ye Yuan with a single blow.


    In his view, a late-stage Empyrean mighty expert locking onto a True God Realm martial artist, how could the other party still have the strength to retaliate?


    Yet, he miscalculated!


    Ye Yuan was just like a loach, slipping away from his world power. Ye Yuan then moved beside Long Hao and killed him!


    At this time, all of the Dragon Clan��s members were staring dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape, looking at that slightly skinny figure in disbelief.


    ��Who on earth is this kid? Why is he so strong?��


    ��Empyrean Long Yu is a late-stage Empyrean Realm mighty expert, but he actually failed to restrain that human brat!��


    ��That was spatial law just now, right? That��s a supreme law. Furthermore, looking at his appearance, he has likely already comprehended extremely deep.��


    �� ��


    True God Realm experts were as weak as an ant in front of Empyrean Realm powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan, this ant, shook of Empyrean Long Yu��s final hit and even counter-killed Long Hao.


    This kind of strength, how could they not be surprised?


    But what everyone was more surprised by was Ye Yuan��s audacity.


    A human actually dared to kill three dragons in a row so arrogantly in East Suppression Pseudo World.


    This breadth of spirit had no choice but to make people admire!


    It was just that the final outcome was already decided.


    Empyrean Long Yu looked at Ye Yuan coldly and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��Good! Very good! This Empyrean already arrived and you actually still dared to deal a killing blow. Rest assured, this Empyrean won��t let you die easily!��


    Ye Yuan turned to look at Empyrean Long Yu and said coolly, ��You wanted to kill me, so why couldn��t I kill him?��


    ��Bullshit! How can a mere human compare to the human dragon race? No need to say anymore, prepare to suffer this Empyrean��s wrath!��


    Amidst the angry roar, Empyrean Long Yu��s aura suddenly erupted.


    The berserk dragon race pressure crushed over towards Ye Yuan��s frenziedly.


    Empyrean Long Yu reached his hand out and made a grabbing action. An enormous claw extended out of the void and grabbed straight at Ye Yuan.


    That horrifying pressure made people��s faces change.


    If this claw landed, Ye Yuan��s fleshy body would definitely turn to ashes!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and did not take any action, and also did not seem to have the intention of running.


    But right at this time, a figure slowly walked out of the void and just lightly waved a hand. The enormous claw directly shattered into countless motes of light.


    Empyrean Long Yu��s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, ��Long Zhi, what��s the meaning of this?��


    This person who walked out of the void was precisely Long Zhi!


    Empyrean Long Yu completely made little of Long Zhi by relying on his father.


    Normally, he was just a little arrogant. But now, Long Hao being killed, under Long Yu��s rage, how would he still care about Long Zhi?


    If not for Long Zhi��s strength being too powerful, he would have long smacked him to death with one palm.


    Long Zhi��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��You can��t kill him.��


    Empyrean Long Yu said in a great rage, ��Long Zhi, your matters, there will naturally be Father finding you to settle the scores! Now, this punk that you brought killed Hao-er, but you actually say that I can��t kill him? Based on what?!��


    Long Zhi said coolly, ��Based on that he��s Second Sage!��


    ��Second Sage? What��s that? Is it very impressive?�� A series of puzzled voices came from inside the crowd.


    But Empyrean Long Yu��s expression changed!


    With his status, he naturally heard before what Second Sage was. That was personally conferred by Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Except, just a title of Second Sage and he wanted to suppress him?


    ��So what if Sacred Ancestor High Priest? Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s people killed someone in the Dragon Clan. Could it be that our Dragon Clan can��t touch him still? When did Sacred Ancestor High Priest start intervening in our Dragon Clan? Long Zhi, you saying such words, could it be that you threw your lots in with Sacred Ancestor High Priest after taking a trip outside?�� Empyrean Long Yu said with a cold smile.


    These words were somewhat penetrating, accusing of personal motives instead.


    Empyrean Long Yu was clearly not some goody-two-shoes either, planning on using this incident to quell Long Zhi for good.


    Long Zhi gave Empyrean Long Yu a sympathetic glance and said coolly, ��If you won��t scruple to launch a divine war for Long Hao, I can move aside right now. Can you shoulder it?��


    The moment ��divine war�� two words came out, Empyrean Long YU��s pupils constricted.


    ��Divine war? Huhu, are you kidding me? Would Sacred Ancestor High Priest launch a divine war for a mere True God Realm?�� Empyrean Long Yu said with a disdainful look.


    In his view, Long Zhi was scaring him, making him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.


    He knew what Second Sage meant, but he only knew one aspect and was ignorant of the other aspects.


    The news of Ye Yuan solving Ask Not already spread in the Demon Divine Region with a hubbub. But barely anyone in East Suppression Pseudo World knew.


    Long Zhi said indifferently, ��You aren��t aware of it, but Ye Yuan solved the Eternal Chess Game, Ask Not. He sat and debated on Dao with Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest. At present, in Demon Divine Region, Ye Yuan is already above millions and only has one person above him! Oh, right, the Qilin Clan��s Qi Zhen provoked Ye Yuan and was killed by him. The Qilin Clan sent over Heavenly Emperor Zixu, but in the end, they returned in defeat and no longer mentioned the matter of Qi Zhen. How do you think Long Hao compares to Qi Zhen?��


    Each additional word that Long Zhi said, the expression on Long Yu��s face became a degree more shocked.


    He never could have imagined that this True God Realm brat in front of him actually had such immense capabilities!


    ��Oh, right, the matter of launching a divine war wasn��t said by this emperor. At that time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s seventh disciple, High Priest Stardrive, carried Ask Not over and personally said it to Heavenly Emperor Zixu,�� Long Zhi explained further.


    Long Zhi��s words stirred up titanic waves in the hearts of Raindragon Stronghold.


    ��This �� This human actually has such a great background!��


    ��Isn��t he a human? Why would he become the demon race��s Second Sage?��


    ��Qi Zhen! That��s the Qilin Clan��s young generation��s strongest alchemist! Back then, when he came to the Dragon Clan, he even defeated Long Xiaohai. He was actually killed by this kid just like that?��


    �� ��


    One news after another exploded in the ears of the Dragon Clan like one bomb after another.


    Each incident was inconceivable, but completed by Ye Yuan alone!


    Long Yu��s expression became extremely ugly. If what Long Zhi said was true, then there was simply no possibility for him to want to avenge Long Hao!


    It did not matter if he killed Ye Yuan, but Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s wrath was not what anyone could bear.


    Once a divine war started, the Dragon Clan would be bound to suffer heavy casualties.


    At that time, he would be the Dragon Clan��s sinner!


    ��Now, do you still want to kill him?�� Long Zhi said coolly.


    While talking, Long Zhi looked toward Ye Yuan. The latter had a calm and collected look. It was as if he had done something insignificant.


    Seeing this scene, Long Zhi could not help feeling annoyed.


    This guy caused such a huge trouble on the second day he came to the Dragon Clan.


    If he had long known this, he would not have brought Ye Yuan here!


    This boy was indeed outstandingly talented, making the world sigh with admiration. But his ability to cause trouble was also first-rate!

 Chapter 2133 - Don’t Make a Spectacle of Yourself!

    Long Yu��s expression flickered incessantly, his face struggling.


    Right at this time, a figure slowly walked out of the void.


    Seeing the arrival, Long Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said with surprise, ��Father!��


    The arrival was precisely Heavenly Emperor Long Chi!


    Heavenly Emperor Long Chi looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze icy-cold.


    People should not look at how East Suppression Pseudo World had countless dragons. It was through the propagation of countless generations in the past that there was today��s scale.


    But even so, the scale of this stronghold was still much smaller compared to human cities.


    In reality, the propagation of the dragon race compared to humans, or even ordinary demon races, was much harder.


    Hence, regardless of whether it was Long Chi or Long Yu, they valued Long Hao this descendant very highly.


    Now, he actually died in Ye Yuan��s hands. So how could these two people not be furious?


    ��He��s of the dragon race!�� Heavenly Emperor Long Chi said coolly.


    Everyone was taken aback, not knowing what Heavenly Emperor Long Chi��s words meant.


    Long Zhi seemed to have thought of something, his expression changing as he said, ��Long Chi, what do you want?��


    Long Zhi had already reported to the clan about Ye Yuan��s matter.


    Similarly a protector elder, Long Zhi was naturally aware of Ye Yuan��s real identity.


    Long Chi said coolly, ��Since he��s of the dragon race, then it naturally has to be taken care of according to the Dragon Clan��s rules.��


    Long Zhi��s two eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, ��Long Chi! Do you want to plunge the Dragon Clan into the fires of war?��


    ��Long Zhi, a ��divine war��, two words, scared you until like this? Our Dragon Clan looks down upon the heavens and myriad realms! When did we become so cowardly and weak?��


    ��Then we also can��t plunge the Dragon Clan into war because of your grandson! Could it be that a mere Long Hao is even more important than the entire Dragon Clan?��


    Long Chi mused for a moment and opened his mouth and said, ��Since that��s the case, have an elders�� meeting then! This emperor won��t let this matter go.��


    Done talking, Long Chi turned around and left.


    The Dragon Clan��s people all had dumbfounded gazes and their mouths gaping. They all thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure. In the end, Empyrean Long Yu did not kill him. Heavenly Emperor Long Chi came and also did not kill him.


    This was really a historical first in Raindragon Stronghold.


    But everyone was also clear in their hearts that once this matter was brought up to the elders�� association, it would likely not end well.


    Long Zhi looked at Ye Yuan, his face angry from failure to live up to expectations as he said, ��You, this fellow, can really cause trouble!��


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nothing to do with me. It was them who provoked me first!��


    Explaining the matter in a few words, Long Zhi was also speechless.


    This Long Hao could have provoked anyone, but he provoked this malefic star. So it served him right to be killed.


    Ye Yuan did not care that the person was a protector elder��s grandson. Provoking him, one would have to be prepared to suffer his wrath.


    This guy did not shrink back in the slightest when facing a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse too. Why would he pay attention to the consequences of killing a puny little Long Hao?


    Back then, he suppressed Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun and the Qilin Clan to all kneel down with his power alone, and he completely disregarded the consequences!


    ��Sigh! You��re satisfied with killing someone, but this place isn��t the outside world��s demon race after all! Long Chi isn��t willing to drop this matter, so he��ll definitely think of ways to put you to death!�� Long Zhi said with a sigh.


    ��When soldiers come, use a general to hold them off. When the water rises, use dirt to keep it back. Scared of him for what?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    At this time, Lu-er and Yang Fei-er also moved closer.


    Lu-er said with an aggrieved look, ��Young Master, it was all Lu-er��s fault, provoking trouble for you.��


    Ye Yuan smiled dotingly and said, ��Where did you provoke trouble? It was trouble that provoked you. That��s all. In this world, there are always some people who act recklessly and blindly.��


    Lu-er said anxiously, ��But ����


    ��There are no buts. Do you still not know your young master��s ability?�� Ye Yuan directly cut off.


    �� ��


    Under Long Zhi��s lead, Ye Yuan entered a stone house.


    Upon entering the stone house, he entered another space.


    Above the void, five enormous dragons were circling around above, giving people immensely powerful deterrence force.


    ��Deliberately making things mystifying!�� Ye Yuan had a look of disdain and slowly walked into space.


    The leftmost giant dragon opened his mouth and said, ��Ye Yuan, since you��re of the dragon race, why haven��t you knelt when you see us!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Making me kneel, also can. As long as you can overpower me with bloodline power.��


    No need to guess, this giant dragon was naturally Long Chi without a doubt.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not have a good opinion of this Long Chi.


    Being able to bring up Long Hao that kind of grandson, how good could this fellow be?


    Sure enough, the moment he opened his mouth, Ye Yuan felt that overbearing tone.


    Most likely, this guy was also talked like this normal.


    ��Snort! You��re the one who said it! Kneel down!��


    Long Chi gave a cold snort. A powerful true dragon bloodline power pressed down on Ye Yuan akin to a giant mountain.


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan definitely had reliance, what kind of existence was he, Long Chi? Why would he care about a puny little rank six dragon��s pride?


    As a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, his bloodline was incomparably pure, already evolving to a kind of peak of the dragon race.


    How could a mere Ye Yuan resist his suppression?


    It was just that when the Long Zhi beside Ye Yuan saw this scene, his face revealed a strange look.


    When he reported to the clan, it was naturally impossible to cover all details no matter how trivial.


    These elders knew that Ye Yuan was of the dragon race, but they did not know how pure Ye Yuan��s dragon race bloodline was.


    Being able to contend with Sacred Ancestor High Priest, that level of existence, with true dragon will, would Ye Yuan��s bloodline power be of the common sort?


    The strength of bloodline power was unrelated to cultivation realm. As long as bloodline was pure enough, even if it was a powerful peak Heavenly Emperor existence, a weakling could also resist.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. The dragon race bloodline pressure in his body suddenly bloomed.


    An astonishing aura soared to the sky, pressing right up against Long Chi��s pressure.


    Bang!


    Two great pressures colliding suddenly, it caused the void to tremble.


    Long Chi��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Impossible! How can your bloodline power be so strong?��


    A hint of ridicule flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and he said coolly, ��This is your bloodline power? Looks like your potential has already been pretty much exhausted!��


    With one exchange, Ye Yuan sensed the strength of Long Chi��s bloodline.


    For him to be able to cultivate to his present realm, he basically reached the end already.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s words clearly poked Long Chi��s sore spot.


    Ye Yuan clearly saw the corners of the giant dragon��s mouth twitch, clearly being greatly enraged.


    Above the void, Long Chi roared angrily and said, ��Gentlemen, this boy is too arrogant, showing no respect to his elders! Everybody, attacking together to suppress!��


    Long Chi could not deal with Ye Yuan by himself and actually shamelessly invited the rest to take action.


    The few people were just about to make a move, but they then heard Long Zhi said coolly, ��Stop making a spectacle of yourselves! Even counting Dragon Lord in, it��s also impossible to suppress Ye Yuan!��


    ��What? This is impossible!��


    ��How can this be possible? I don��t believe it!��


    ��Long Zhi, what nonsense are you talking about?��


    �� ��


    The few great protector elders clearly did not believe Long Zhi��s words, having shocked expressions on their faces.


    Six great heavenly emperors making a move at the same time actually could not suppress a measly little rank six dragon?


    Long Zhi laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Talking nonsense? That��s because you all didn��t see how he solved Ask Not! He defeated Medicine Ancestor with a sword of will, forcefully resisted Sacred Ancestor High Priest with his true dragon will, and shattered the firmament with his qilin will, breaking the world that Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor, two people, created! Do you guys think that you��re stronger than Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest?��

 Chapter 2134 - Threaten

    ��This �� How is this possible?��


    Above the void came the cries of exclamations of the group of dragon race heavenly emperors.


    The words that Long Zhi said were seriously too inconceivable.


    ��Huhu, do you all think that Ask Not, this eternal chess game, is that easy to solve? If not for having astonishing ability, how can Ye Yuan walk out of Ask Not?�� Long Zhi said with a look of ridicule.


    Even until now, Long Zhi held Ye Yuan in awe and veneration too.


    The people who witnessed the entire process of Ye Yuan clearing Ask Not would respect Ye Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.


    Under Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s pressure, what did heavenly emperors count as?


    ��Kid, you were messing with me?�� Long Chi suddenly came to a realization and reproached angrily.


    After Ye Yuan entered, he intentionally said to have him use suppression with bloodline power. Actually, Ye Yuan totally knew that no matter how strong his, Long Chi��s, bloodline power was, he could not suppress Ye Yuan at all.


    Making a fool of himself, that��s all!


    Yet, he fell for it.


    Ye Yuan could contend with Sacred Ancestor High Priest, that kind of powerhouse, with true dragon will. How pure was his bloodline?


    Wouldn��t utilizing bloodline power in front of him be teaching one��s grandmother how to suck eggs?


    This guy simply did it on purpose!


    ��Huhu, you��re not considered too stupid yet,�� Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    What not considered too stupid? It was simply too stupid!


    Long Zhi already said the outcome before they came to realize the truth. What was it if not dumb?


    ��Brat, this emperor will tear you to pieces!��


    Long Chi��s angry roar came from above the void.


    He bared his fangs and brandished his claws. An astonishing pressure enveloped down and was going to exterminate Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a beautiful figure slowly walked out of the void and said coolly, ��What are you trying to do, Long Chi? Do you want to make Raindragon Stronghold become the Dragon Clan��s sinner that��s condemned through the ages?!��


    The arrival was dressed in white plumage, silky black hair winding around, boundlessly beautiful.


    Ye Yuan looked over, this woman actually had some similarities with Long Xiaochun.


    Long Chi��s face fell and he said rather unwillingly, ��I pay respect to Dragon Lord!��


    When the rest saw this woman, they also each bowed down.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this Raindragon Stronghold��s dragon lord was actually a woman!


    Dragon Lord waved her hand and said coolly, ��All returned to your original bodies for what? Trying to scare people? Why haven��t you put it away?!��


    Long Chi and the rest recovered to their original appearances, all having embarrassed looks on their faces.


    They did it in order to scare people, but who knew that they failed to scare people and even utterly lost their faces.


    ��You��re Ye Yuan?�� Dragon Lord looked at Ye Yuan and started sizing him up.


    ��Ye Yuan pays respect to Dragon Lord!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    Long Chi was already too impatient to wait and said in a solemn voice, ��Dragon Lord, this boy did not distinguish black from white and killed Long Hao three people when he just arrived at the Dragon Clan. He committed an atrocious crime and definitely can��t be tolerated!��


    Dragon Lord��s dark brows furrowed slightly when she heard that and said, ��This incident was clearly Long Hao three people who were in the wrong first, isn��t Elder Long Chi too overbearing?��


    Long Hao injured Lu-er and Yang Fei-er and even wanted to forcibly seize the two people in public. Many people saw it, so it was naturally not difficult for Dragon Lord to want to know.


    Except, to a powerhouse like Long Chi, how was there any right or wrong?


    He was strong, so he was reason!


    Long Chi gave a cold snort and said, ��Overbearing? Heh heh, even if Hao-er committed a capital offense, it��s also not his turn to come and execute him! Moreover, just two measly human girls, Hao-er taking fancy on them is their fortune!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a cold smile, ��Indeed, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! In my view, your grandson was a pile of dog shit. Killed then killed, what about it? Could it be that you dare to kill me?��


    ��You!��


    Long Chi choked and nearly stifled until he had internal injuries.


    Ye Yuan��s identity was too sensitive, he could not touch him at all.


    The crime of launching a divine war was not what he could shoulder!


    ��Humph! Do you really think that this emperor can��t do anything to you?�� Long Chi said angrily.


    ��What can you do to me?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan discovered that Long Chi seemed to make light of Dragon Lord.


    It was like the person managing things here was him.


    Long Chi laughed coldly and he said, ��Even if I can��t kill you, those few people around you �� this emperor can kill them!��


    Brilliant light suddenly shone from Ye Yuan��s eyes, the bloodline pressure in his body suddenly bloomed, and he said in a cold voice, ��If you dare to touch them, this Ye will definitely trample your Raindragon Stronghold in the future! If you don��t believe it, you can wait and see!��


    Long Chi��s two eyes narrowed, he saw incomparably firm resolve in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    He did not doubt that Ye Yuan had this ability. With Ye Yuan��s talent, reaching Heavenly Emperor Realm was virtually certain!


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, a figure suddenly barged into this space.


    ��Long Chi, if you dare to make things difficult for Ye Yuan, I, Long Xiaochun, definitely will not let you off!��


    Long Xiaochun arrived!


    When Dragon Lord saw Long Xiaochun, her brows furrowed and she berated, ��Long Xiaochun! You arbitrarily barged into the elders meeting. Where��s the sense of propriety?��


    When Long Xiaochun saw Dragon Lord, her pretty face could not help turning stiff. But very quickly, she stubbornly said again: ��Mother, this matter was clearly Long Hao��s fault, even death couldn��t expiate his sins. So why punish Ye Yuan?��


    When Long Chi saw Long Xiaochun arrive, he did not get angry but was overjoyed instead.


    Only to see him give a cold snort and say: ��Dragon Lord, Long Xiaochun trespassed the elders meeting and shows no respect for her elders, I wonder what should be the punishment!��


    Dragon Lord��s expression changed, and she said in anger: ��Long Xiaochun! Still don��t withdraw, this emperor will put you in confinement for a thousand years!��


    Long Xiaochun gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, ��Even if you confine me for 1000 years, I also can��t let you guys hurt Ye Yuan! He was brought here by me, so I must bring him out safely!��


    Seeing Long Xiaochun defending him like this, Ye Yuan was moved.


    He laughed and said, ��Xiaochun, you withdraw first. This old fellow doesn��t dare to touch me.��


    Long Xiaochun blinked a few times and said, ��Really?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course it��s real! If this old thing dared to kill me, why would he hold some elders meeting?��


    Long Xiaochun tilted her head and thought about it, it seemed to be the truth. Hence, she nodded her head happily and said with a smile, ��Okay, then I��ll wait for you outside!��


    After Long Xiaochun left, Long Chi laughed coldly and said, ��Kid, whether you can live until then is still not known! Dragon Lord, even if I can��t touch Ye Yuan, there��s no problem with this emperor killing a few of his people to vent my anger, right? You wouldn��t �� shelter a few humans, right?��


    When Dragon Lord heard that, her face revealed a hesitant look.


    But Ye Yuan��s expression changed. Dragon Lord��s change in attitude made his heart sink to rock-bottom.


    When Long Chi saw Ye Yuan��s expression, he was delighted.


    This brat was just like a hedgehog, neither listening to reason nor bowing to force. But his probing earlier clearly found Ye Yuan��s weakness.


    His weakness was the people around him!


    Seeing that Dragon Lord was still hesitating, Long Chi increased the dosage and said, ��If Dragon Lord insists on showing partiality for humans, then this emperor can only initiate an elders meeting to decide by voting!��


    Ye Yuan saw that the situation was not right and said in a cold voice, ��Old dog, what the hell do you want?��


    Long Chi smiled coldly and said, ��Heh heh, this emperor even thought that you feared neither heaven nor the earth, turns out that you have something that you��re scared of too! Rest assured, as long as you promise this emperor a condition, this emperor can let those few people go!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed together, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What condition?��


    Long Chi chuckled and had an appearance of satisfaction due to his wicked scheme succeeding as he said, ��Sign a life-and-death agreement! Just say that you willingly entered the Dragon Eye Cave and everything has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan! As long as you can do it, this emperor will spare their lives!��

 Chapter 2135 - Dragon Eye Cave

    ��Dragon Eye Cave! No way!��


    Hearing this name, Dragon Lord��s expression changed, and she immediately rejected it.


    Long Chi smiled coldly and said, ��Then according to Dragon Lord��s meaning, Hao-er died in vain? Or are you going to let this emperor go and kill those few humans to take revenge for Hao-er?��


    Dragon Lord��s gaze turned cold, and she said in a solemn voice, ��Dragon Eye Cave is the Dragon Clan��s forbidden area. If even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse goes it, it will be hard to come out too. You��re asking Ye Yuan to go in, isn��t it making him seek death?��


    ��What a joke! Not letting him go to a dangerous place, could it be letting him go to a safe place? This emperor not smacking him to death with one slap is already very frustrating. As for the Dragon Eye Cave, if he really has a heaven-defying destiny and comes out of there, then this emperor also has nothing to say anymore!�� Long Chi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold laugh.


    The Dragon Eye Cave was filled with dangers. Forget about rank six, even if it was rank seven, no one came out before too!


    Unless one��s strength reached Heavenly Emperor Realm, only then did one barely have the ability to protect themselves.


    Even so, it was also very dangerous.


    Long Chi did not believe that Ye Yuan could really come out after entering the Dragon Eye Cave.


    As for that agreement, it could just nicely be used to deal with Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s fury. It could be said to satisfy both sides.


    Killing Ye Yuan and also leaving Sacred Ancestor High Priest with nothing to say.


    Thinking up to here, Long Chi also could not help rubbing his hands in glee.


    Such a genius idea, only he could come up with it.


    ��Fine, I��ll go!�� Ye Yuan��s gaze became heavy as he said.


    Dragon Lord frowned and said, ��Young man, you don��t know what kind of place Dragon Eye Cave is and dare to agree to it? This Lord is telling you, going in with your strength is certain death!��


    Ye Yuan understood that Dragon Lord being concerned for him was likely because of Long Xiaochun.


    But this Long Chi was incomparably cunning and definitely would not give him the chance.


    If he did not go in, he might really make a move against Lu-er they all.


    ��Many thanks for Dragon Lord��s concern. Ye Yuan appreciates it. But so what even if it��s a dragon��s lair or tiger��s den? What kind of scene have I, Ye Yuan, not seen before? Old Thing, sure, I can go in, but you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath! You��re absolutely not allowed to harm Lu-er they all!�� Ye Yuan looked at Long Chi and said in a deep voice.


    ��Haha, straightforward enough! You rest assured, as long as you sign the agreement, this emperor will naturally swear the Heavenly Dao Oath to set your mind at ease,�� Long Chi said with a loud laugh.


    �� ��


    Coming out of the stone house, Long Xiaochun and Long Xiaohai immediately came up to greet.


    ��Ye Yuan, they didn��t make things difficult for you, right?�� Long Xiaochun said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I already said, that old thing doesn��t dare.��


    Only then did Long Xiaochun set her mind at rest and said with a laugh, ��Hehe, looks like Second Sage this title is still pretty useful! That Long Hao, I��ve long found him displeasing to the eye! Well killed! Humph!��


    ��Xiaochun!�� Long Xiaohai gave a warning gaze, the latter hurriedly shut her mouth.


    Lu-er still did not quite believe it and said, ��Young Master, is it really fine?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course! Do you still not believe your young master?��


    When Lu-er heard this, only then did she smile, being satisfied.


    Deep in the night, Loneswan appeared in Ye Yuan��s room, his expression somber.


    The other people��s thoughts were pure and did not suspect things. But he lived to a ripe old age, how could he really rest his heart?


    After all, this place was the Dragon Clan and not the Priest Temple.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan definitely had something to talk about by calling him here.


    Ye Yuan looked at Loneswan��s expression and could not help smiling as he said, ��There��s no need to have this expression. Aren��t I perfectly fine?��


    Loneswan��s expression was solemn as he said, ��I wonder what instructions Master has?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Tomorrow morning, I��ll enter the Dragon Eye Cave and might be gone for a very long time. If I come out within ten years, there��s naturally no problem. If I don��t come out within ten years, you bring them and leave East Suppression Pseudo World and return to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to quietly wait for news.��


    Loneswan��s expression changed and he said, ��Master, what �� what kind of place is this Dragon Eye Cave?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know either, but it��s definitely a dangerous place. That old dog used your lives to threaten me, making me enter this Dragon Eye Cave. You don��t need to have this expression either. Master has cleared before many dangerous places, so how can it be that easy for that old dog to want to doom me to death?��


    Loneswan��s expression was solemn as he said, ��But ����


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��There are no buts. This period of time that I��m not around, you take good care of Lu-er they all. If this lass knows that I went to the Dragon Eye Cave, she definitely won��t agree to it. Tell her after I leave. In addition, you also have to practice your alchemy diligently. After Master comes out, I��ll be evaluating you!��


    Loneswan��s expression flickered incessantly. Only after a long time did he slowly nod his head and said, ��Yes, Master! Master has to be more careful on this trip!��


    �� ��


    Early next morning, before the sky was bright, Ye Yuan arrived outside a stone tower situated in the middle of Raindragon Stronghold. Long Zhi was already waiting there.


    ��You really thought it through about this? The moment you go, it will likely be hard to turn back!�� Long Zhi said.


    ��If I don��t go, will that old dog let me off?�� Ye Yuan answered with a question.


    Long Zhi sighed and said, ��If I had long known it would be like this, I shouldn��t have brought you guys here!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Saying anything now is too late! But I��m afraid that it��s not so easy for that old dog to want my life!��


    ��There are a lot of evil things inside the Dragon Eye Cave. Furthermore, they are incomparably ferocious. This Stone Brilliant Tower is used to suppress the Dragon Eye Cave,�� Long Zhi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a complicated expression.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the Dragon Eye Cave was actually in the middle of Raindragon Stronghold.


    The Dragon Clan��s habitat was actually built at such a dangerous place.


    It was just like this place was specially constructed in order to suppress the Dragon Eye Cave.


    ��Come on, follow me. Long Chi they all are already waiting for you. Take care not to touch the array formation; otherwise, immortals can��t save you too,�� Long Zhi warned.


    Ye Yuan followed Long Zhi into the stone tower and went down the stairs. No idea how deep they went down either.


    Suddenly, it suddenly became bright in front, the two people arrived in a great hall.


    In the center of the hall, purple light revolved, like a cave entrance. Inside exuded thick evil devilish aura.


    This was still after being sealed.


    It was not known how strong the devilish aura inside the Dragon Eye Cave was.


    If someone with Celestial Deity Realm and below cultivation was here, they would likely immediately be frozen into ice cubes by this devilish aura.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, immediately feeling the danger of this Dragon Eye Cave.


    No wonder Dragon Lord��s expression became like that the moment she heard Dragon Eye Cave.


    Long Chi and Long Yu were both here. When they saw Ye Yuan, they made no attempt to conceal the delight on their faces.


    ��Ye Yuan, we came to send you off!�� Long Yu��s words carried a double meaning as he said delightedly.


    Ye Yuan already recovered his cool and said with a faint smile, ��Then I��ll have to trouble you guys. I even thought that you should be sending Long Hao off at this time.��


    Long Chi��s face fell, and he said with a cold smile, ��Relax, there��s you accompanying on the road to the netherworld, Hao-er won��t be lonely.��


    Ye Yuan laughed when he heard it and said, ��Then you guys have to pray that I don��t die. Otherwise, after I go there, he��ll die once more.��


    When these father and son two people saw Ye Yuan��s appearance, they gnashed their teeth in hatred.


    ��Humph! Razer-tongued! See if you can still laugh after you enter the Dragon Eye Cave! Enough crap! Brought the contract?�� Long Chi said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan took out a jade slip and said coolly, ��Swear it then.��

 Chapter 2136 - A Treasure Vault

    Swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath and taking the contract, Long Chi��s face finally revealed a hint of delight.


    ��Heh, you must still be thinking of coming out, right? Telling you quite regretfully, this entrance is one-way. One can only enter and not come out! Furthermore, after you go in, you��ll be transported to another venue randomly. If there are many powerful monsters there, then congratulations! You won the prize!�� Long Yu said smugly.


    ��Oh? In this case, the Dragon Eye Cave doesn��t have an exit?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    If there was no exit, then it would really be somewhat troublesome.


    If it was an enclosed world, then no matter how strong he became, it would also be impossible to come out of there.


    ��It is not that there isn��t any. I heard that there are some spatial rifts inside the Dragon Eye Cave that traverses between spatial turbulent flows and the Dragon Eye Cave. But where these spatial rifts are, nobody knows either. Therefore �� entering the Dragon Eye Cave is equivalent to crossing the Rubicon!�� Long Zhi said in a solemn voice.


    Long Chi laughed wildly as he said, ��Brat, there��s still time to regret now! But those few humans�� lives can��t be guaranteed, hahaha!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and leaped, his figure directly plunging into the cave entrance.


    Long Chi still wanted to take a look at Ye Yuan��s panicky appearance. Who knew that Ye Yuan was so straightforward, directly jumping in. He could not help feeling annoyed.


    ��Humph! Not being able to kill you with my own hands, consider yourself getting off easilty!�� Finished talking, Long Chi��s figure moved, vanishing from the great hall.


    Long Zhi also sighed slightly and turned around and left.


    However, not long after the few people left, a figure secretly slipped into the hall.


    Swoosh!


    A ray of azure light flashed past, that figure dashed right into the Dragon Eye Cave. The guards could not react in time at all.


    When the two Empyrean Realm guards saw this scene, their faces could not help changing greatly.


    ��Just now, that �� seemed to be Long Xiaochun, right?��


    ��Damn it! This misfortune star actually entered the Dragon Eye Cave! Things are blown up now! You watch here! I��ll immediately report it to Dragon Lord.��


    The two people were seized with panic and left the great hall like flying.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan only felt the world spin around. No idea how long had passed either, he finally landed on solid ground.


    It was a foreign world in front of him. Blood-red sky seemed like flames were burning in the sky; incomparably somber.


    Limitless devilish aura assaulted him frenziedly, penetrating right into the marrow.


    ��What fierce devilish aura! It��s many times stronger than even the fiend race��s devilish aura! However �� such a pure devilish aura is very good cultivation resource!��


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth. The Chaos Heavenspan Canon quietly revolved and started to crazily absorb the devilish aura.


    If someone saw this scene, their eyeballs would probably fall out.


    Once this kind of horrifying devilish aura entered the body, regardless of whether it was the demon race or human race, they would probably be unable to withstand it and would be corroded by this devilish aura very quickly, becoming a walking corpse.


    When normal people came here, they would have to revolve divine essence to push away this devilish aura.


    But Ye Yuan was different! He was directly absorbing it!


    Once the devilish aura entered the body, it was immediately refined by the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, becoming a ball of chaos divine essence, converging into the Origin Pill.


    Ye Yuan��s Origin Pill became smaller and smaller, but the chaos divine essence became purer and purer.


    Everything originated from chaos, everything returned to chaos.


    To Ye Yuan, there was no difference between whatever divine essence, fiend essence, or demon divine essence.


    As long as it was a form of energy, it could be refined by the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, becoming chaos divine essence in the end.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could also invoke chaos divine essence to imitate any form of energy.


    ��Heh, the devilish energy here is really a great tonic, cultivating one day is practically equivalent to ten days in the outside world!�� Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.


    Swoosh!


    A dark ball object arrived behind Ye Yuan silently.


    All of a sudden, that dark object opened its gaping maws, revealing sharp teeth, and bit towards Ye Yuan��s neck.


    Puchi!


    A streak of cold light flashed past, the sharp sword energy entered right from the gaping maws, piercing right through the monster��s head.


    ��Awoo!��


    The monster emitted a series of strange cries and fell to the ground, twitching a few times before it stopped moving.


    Ye Yuan turned around and looked. This monster looked like a black dog. It was just that the hair all over its body was extremely long and it did not even have an eye.


    If it did not open its mouth, it would look just like a black ball.


    This monster wanted to ambush Ye Yuan. How could it know that Ye Yuan seemed to have grown eyes at the back of his head, directly annihilating it?


    ��This is the monster that they spoke of? Indeed very strong! Never heard before that the Heavenspan World still has this kind of monster. What in the world are these?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    The aura exuding from this monster��s body was roughly the same as a human Fifth Firmament True God.


    But that strike earlier, probably three Fifth Firmament True Gods were not a match either.


    ��Abyss monster!�� Dustless��s voice suddenly rang out.


    ��Abyss monster? You��re talking about these?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Dustless nodded his head and said, ��That��s right! Following the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s breakthrough to a heavenly emperor spirit treasure, my memories seemed to have somewhat recovered. I feel very familiar with this Dragon Eye Cave. It seems like I��ve come before once.��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard that and said, ��You came here before? Could it be that �� Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove came before?��


    Dustless said, ��Possible! These abyss monsters are very strong, same rank humans are not a match at all. There are even some powerful existences among them that can even jump realms to battle. Ye Yuan, you have to be more careful.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Mn, I��ll be careful. Eh, what��s this?��


    Ye Yuan was just about to leave when he suddenly discovered that beside that abyss monster��s corpse, a black crystal fell out.


    ��What thick devilish energy! This thing must be the abyss monster��s life essence! Tsk tsk, the devilish energy stored inside here is even purer than the devilish energy in the air!��


    Seeing this black crystal, Ye Yuan��s two eyes could not help lighting up.


    When others saw this devilish energy, it was like a rat seeing a cat. There might not even be time to even run.


    But Ye Yuan behaved like he obtained a priceless treasure.


    ��Hahaha! This Dragon Eye Cave is really a good place! With this kind of black crystals, I can break through to Eighth Firmament True God within a very short time! That old dog forced me to come to the Dragon Eye Cave. But he probably never dreamed that this place is simply a paradise to me!�� Ye Yuan put away the black crystal and said with a loud laugh.


    The devilish energy inside this one piece of black crystal was virtually equivalent to a rank six divine pill!


    What did Ye Yuan lack most in his cultivation?


    Medicinal pills!


    Even if Ye Yuan currently had deep pockets, the quantity of the medicinal pills that his cultivation required was too great.


    Rank six spirit medicines were extremely precious. Even if Ye Yuan did not lack money, he could not get that many spirit medicines either.


    However, as long as there was an endless stream of medicinal pills, Ye Yuan��s cultivation would definitely be very fast.


    However, there were countless abyss monsters here. It was equivalent to having countless rank six divine pills. This place was simply a treasure vault to Ye Yuan!


    Brilliant light shone in Ye Yuan��s eyes. There was already a crazy plan in his head: hunt abyss monsters!

 Chapter 2137 - Big Brother Xun Will Protect You

    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Inside the dark dense woods, several figures crisscrossed, the battle situation very intense.


    A white figure passed through between more than a dozen black monsters. The situation was alarmingly dangerous.


    However, that white figure was extremely nimble. No matter how dangerous the situation, he could always turn danger into safety in the end.


    This white-clothed youth was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Currently, close to a year��s time already passed since Ye Yuan entered the Dragon Eye Cave.


    Ye Yuan��s aura was much stronger compared to when he just came in.


    In this one year, Ye Yuan hunted several thousand rank six abyss monsters, obtaining large amounts of black crystals.


    Of course, how could one not wet their shoes if they frequently walked by the roadside? Ye Yuan naturally encountered Empyrean Realm abyss monsters before too.


    But Ye Yuan was long prepared. He had long laid down the spatial node technique. The moment he ran into Empyrean Realm abyss monsters, he would immediately run.


    Therefore, although the abyss monsters here were strong, Ye Yuan��s survival ability was stronger.


    Up until now, Ye Yuan did not encounter real danger either.


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    A roar came over, noiseless sword energy instantly erupted with horrifying energy. Three black abyss monsters were directly blown up.


    ��Roar, roar!��


    The remaining abyss monsters seemed to have become enraged, pouncing toward Ye Yuan crazily.


    ��Humph! You brutes really have no idea of death or danger! Grand Universe Palm!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and suddenly fired a palm out.


    The dragon pranced the vast expanse of open ground, roaming the nine heavens unhindered.


    Four to five abyss monsters were directly blown up!


    ��Roar, roar, roar!��


    The remaining abyss monsters became even more furious, one ball of horrifying energy undulations after another exploded by Ye Yuan��s side.


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    With another noiseless sword energy, Ye Yuan reaped the lives of the abyss monsters without any mercy.


    Battling for a day a night, Ye Yuan finally annihilated all of these abyss monsters.


    ��Huu �� This batch of guys are really formidable, even if a Ninth Firmament True God was here, they would probably be blown up in one move by them too,�� Ye Yuan huffed a turbid breath as he spoke.


    The strength of this batch of abyss monsters, all of them were above Eighth Firmament True God Realm.


    But their combat strength was extremely horrifying. Human Ninth Firmament True Gods were not their match at all.


    Ye Yuan��s present strength already infinitely approached an Eighth Firmament True God. Coupled with his fleshy body��s strength, he had virtually no opponents under Empyrean.


    But even so, with his strength, he also expended tremendous effort before slaying them.


    Ye Yuan packed up all of the black crystals and said with a smile, ��Heh, this batch of abyss monsters are strong, but the black crystals are also purer and stronger. With this batch of black crystals, I should be able to break through to Eighth Firmament Origin Pill!��


    In this one year, Ye Yuan completely treated the Dragon Eye Cave as a cultivation treasure land.


    As long as he saw rank six abyss monsters, Ye Yuan��s two eyes would definitely shine, killing them.


    If Long Chi was here, he would definitely be angered until he vomited blood.


    His method that he thought of as brilliant became Ye Yuan��s wedding gown.


    But in this one year, Ye Yuan also figured out some of the Dragon Eye Cave world��s rules.


    Which place was dangerous, which place was safe, which place had powerful abyss monsters coming and going, he had an idea in his heart.


    As long as he did not overshoot this boundary, there was no great danger.


    This dense forest at present belonged to a more dangerous place. There were many late-stage True God Realm abyss monsters coming and going.


    Following the increase in Ye Yuan��s strength, the initial-region��s abyss monsters already did not pose any challenge to him.


    Finding a secluded place, Ye Yuan laid down a bunch of protective array formations and started refining the black crystals.


    When the devilish energy entered the body, Ye Yuan��s realm started loosening up.


    Several days later, Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed, finally stepping into Eighth Firmament Origin Pill.


    ��Breaking through is getting harder and harder!�� Slowly opening both eyes, Ye Yuan could not help saying with an emotional sigh.


    ��But the price paid is still worth it! Right now, even though I��m at the Eighth Firmament Origin Pill, in terms of divine essence thickness, I��m probably even stronger than ordinary Ninth Firmament True Gods! Putting aside True God Realms, even when facing Empyrean Realms, it��s at least also not without the slightest strength to fight back anymore. After breaking through to the Ninth Firmament Origin Pill, when I unleash all of my means, even facing a First Firmament Empyrean shouldn��t be anything difficult too!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s gaze became sharp and he said in a solemn voice, ��Li-er, after I breakthrough the next realm, I��ll fetch you back home! Lin Changqing, 2000 years hasn��t arrived. But I wonder how gifted your so-called genius is!��


    It was already close to a thousand years in a twinkle, Ye Yuan��s longing for Li-er did not stop for a second.


    And Lin Changqing��s overbearingness was also fresh in Ye Yuan��s mind.


    That Lin Changqing cracked himself up to be a genius that felt that Ye Yuan was like an ant.


    At that time, Ye Yuan just entered the Celestial Deity Realm, but Lin Changqing was already an Empyrean.


    But a thousand years passed, Ye Yuan was already a dragon flying in the sky and only a step away from Empyrean.


    What realm did he, Lin Changqing, cultivate to?


    The Sea of Law the last time, as well as clearing Ask Not, both brought tremendous inspirations to Ye Yuan, with the outcome being extremely far-reaching.


    Regarding the next realm, Ye Yuan already had a general idea in his mind.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that the next realm would be greatly different.


    The iron law that Empyreans could not be leapfrogged was a joke at Ye Yuan here.


    Ye Yuan had confidence that as long as he broke through, his strength would absolutely not be beneath Lin Changqing.


    ��Eh? There��s actually someone here, and it��s even a human.��


    As he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly sounded out not far away.


    Another person said, ��Heh, an Eighth Firmament True God? to actually be able to survive in the Star Devil Forest, really hit the jackpot!��


    ��Why would a human brat appear here? Could it be that �� he entered from a spatial rift?��


    Ye Yuan turned his head to look and saw three dragon race youths with disdain and mocking looks on their faces.


    The person in the lead was a scarred youth. He walked in front of Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Boy, do you know what place this is?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Dragon Eye Cave.��


    The scarred youth��s two eyes narrowed and could not help revealing a look of disappointment.


    Knowing about the Dragon Eye Cave, then he probably did not enter from a spatial rift.


    It was absolutely impossible for humans to know about this place.


    The scarred youth said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh? You actually know that it��s the Dragon Eye Cave. Then you still dare to swagger about here in the Star Devil Forest? Truly, the ignorant are fearless!��


    Ye Yuan smiled as he answered with a question, ��Could it be that there��s some genuinely safe place in this Dragon Eye Cave?��


    The scarred youth could not help suffocating, being choked badly.


    This place was the world abyss monsters, a safe place was just relatively speaking.


    The scarred youth said, ��Kid, consider yourself lucky to run into us. Walking by yourself in the Star Devil Forest with your bit of strength, when you encounter a powerful abyss monster, you won��t even know how you die. Since we met, follow us in the future. With Big Brother Xun protecting you, it won��t be that easy even if you want to die too!��


    ��Alright,�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    This one year had always been him going solo, it was too dreary.


    Furthermore, in this kind of place, an additional person was always an additional portion of strength.


    These few people were clearly veterans here already and should understand this place better. Understanding the situation from them was pretty good.


    As for ��Big Brother Xun protecting you��, this sort of word, Ye Yuan automatically ignored it.

 Chapter 2138 - Just a Misunderstanding

    Along the way, the three people were extremely careful, just thieves that entered a house, fearful of making any sounds.


    Encountering a tiny bit of wind rustling, they would be like startled rabbits, slipping away with a scramble.


    Ye Yuan had a relaxed look as he followed behind the three people.


    This scene naturally became synonymous with acting recklessly and blindly in the eyes of the three people.


    However, the three people really had some ability in the area of avoiding abyss monsters. The moment there were some activities, they would be able to recognize it in advance and avoid it.


    Clearly, these few people already had their way of survival in this Dragon Eye Cave.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan baited quite a bit of verbal exchanges.


    These three people were called Long Xun, Ao Ming, and Long Qing. They came from different respective earth strongholds and black strongholds and were people who committed the most heinous crimes and were thrown into the Dragon Eye Cave.


    Entering the Dragon Eye Cave was basically equivalent to being sentenced to the death penalty, but it did not mean that one would die right away.


    These three people were crafty and sly, finding a way to survive in this place, avoiding many dangers, and even pulled together a team of more than ten people.


    Most of these people committed severe crimes in the strongholds, that was why they would be thrown into the Dragon Eye Cave.


    This made Ye Yuan very surprised. These dragon clans�� habitats actually all had the Dragon Eye Cave��s entrances.


    What kind of damn place was this Dragon Eye Cave?


    But those who survived in this region were mostly not strong, being only at the True God Realm.


    Long Xun had already entered the Dragon Eye Cave for over 20 years. He was already considered outstanding among this group of people.


    Right now, they were currently leading Ye Yuan back to the base.


    ��Kid, let me tell you, if you��re like this in the Dragon Eye Cave, it will be considered little even if you die a hundred times over!�� Long Xun looked at Ye Yuan and said with a disappointed look.


    This guy was exasperatingly slow every time, taking his own sweet time, angering Long Xun badly.


    But Long Xun also felt strange in his heart, how come this kid could always keep up with the three of them?


    As proud members of the dragon race, Long Xun three people looked down on Ye Yuan, this human, from the bottom of their hearts. But they had to admit that Ye Yuan��s luck was very good.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Many thanks for Big Brother Xun taking care along the way.��


    Long Xun shot a glare at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, ��At least you have some eyesight! Along the way, if not for Big Brother Xun, me, you��d have died ten times!��


    ��Yes, yes,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    ��Roar, roar!��


    Right at this time, several ferocious abyss monsters suddenly dashed out of the dense woods, blocking the few people��s path all at once.


    These few abyss monsters came extremely suddenly, like they had been lying in ambush.


    Long Xun��s face turned pale with a swoosh.


    The auras of the few abyss monsters were very powerful and already had peak rank six cultivation realm.


    As for combat strength, it absolutely swept across those in the same rank!


    It was only to see Long Xun��s eyes swivel around, a plan forming in his head.


    He winked at Long Qing and Ao Ming, then shouted loudly, ��Heh, do these brutes really take it that your Grandpa Xun is easy to be pushed around? Boy, you deal with that right-side one, leave the rest to the three of us!��


    There were six abyss monsters that appeared this time, the three of them dealing with five and letting Ye Yuan deal with one sounded very righteous.


    How could Ye Yuan not know Long Xun��s little scheme? But he did not mind either, slowly drawing the bone sword and walking towards the abyss monster.


    ��Roar, roar!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan slowly walk over, the group of monsters was clearly enraged, immediately pouncing over toward him.


    At this time, Long Xun winked again. The three people took off and escaped in the opposite direction with extremely fast speed.


    ��Kid, Big Brother Xun saved you many times along the way, then you save Big Brother Xun once and stay behind to be cannon fodder! Hahaha ����


    Behind, came Long Xun��s delighted laughter.


    Amidst the laughter, Ye Yuan did not turn his head back either, like he did not hear his words, continuing to walk over towards the abyss monsters.


    Then, Long Xun��s laughter abruptly stopped.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Ye Yuan stabbed a sword out, carrying along with astonishing explosion sounds.


    Amidst the three people��s stupefied gazes, the six abyss monsters were completely annihilated.


    From start to end, Ye Yuan only unleashed one sword.


    ��T-T-This �� How is this possible?�� Long Qing��s jaws almost dropped, his eyes full of disbelief.


    ��S-So strong!�� Ao Ming similarly opened his mouth wide and said in shock.


    Long Xun rubbed his eyes, he was doubting if he saw wrongly or not.


    But he rubbed many times and discovered that it was still the same outcome.


    Abyss monsters completely wiped out!


    ��Is �� Is this guy a freak? How can he be so strong?�� Long Xun said in shock.


    He suddenly recalled him showing off in front of Ye Yuan and even said ��Big Brother Xun will protect you.�� It was simply like being a clown.


    Ye Yuan exterminated six peak rank six abyss monsters with one sword. Wouldn��t killing him be like chopping vegetables?


    He thought that Ye Yuan was just a little lamb, who knew that it was a big gray wolf!


    The shock in Long Xun��s heart was simply unable to use words to describe.


    He had mucked around in this Dragon Eye Cave for so long, how could he not have an understanding of the abyss monsters�� combat power?


    Back then, they ran into a peak rank six abyss monster. Five people attacked at the same time. In the end, they successfully escaped with the death of two people as the price.


    Peak rank six abyss monsters swept away everything!


    Hence, when he saw those abyss monsters, he thought of running away at once.


    Fight?


    It did not exist!


    But now, Ye Yuan just unleashed one sword and dealt with six peak rank six abyss monsters. What kind of terrifying combat power was this?


    Long Xun was of the proud dragon race, so he completely looked down on humans.


    But now, Ye Yuan shattered his pride to smithereens with absolute strength!


    Was this guy really just Eighth Firmament True God?


    Ye Yuan was also very satisfied with the power of this sword.


    Breaking through to Eighth Firmament True God, his strength indeed made great improvements again.


    The power of True Sword Hollow Etch was more than several times stronger than before.


    Dealing with these peak rank six abyss monsters naturally did not need that much effort anymore.


    ��H-Huhu, this lord, just now, we were just �� just �� It was a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!�� Long Xun had an awkward look, wanting to explain his earlier actions.


    Except, he discovered that no matter how he explained, it was very feeble.


    Witnessing Ye Yuan��s strength, how could they still dare to run?


    No matter how fast they were, could they be faster than Ye Yuan��s sword?


    That scene earlier was seriously too shocking.


    Ye Yuan put away the bone sword, turned to look at Long Xun, and said with a smile, ��Big Brother Xun ����


    ��Dare not, dare not! In front of Your Excellency, how can this lowly one dare call himself Big Brother Xun? Your Excellency, just call me Little Xun will do,�� Long Xun said in fear and trepidation.


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��It��s still Big Brother Xun that sounds warm! Big Brother Xun doesn��t need to explain anything. This Ye understands. There are dangers all around in the Dragon Eye Cave, so sacrificing the knights in order to save the queen is only human nature.��


    ��M-Many thanks for Your Excellency��s understanding!�� Long Xun said with a fearful look on his face.


    He did not know whether Ye Yuan really understood or was faking understanding. After all, the action previously was courting death.


    ��However �� �� Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s tone changed, becoming fierce.


    Long Xun��s heart that just calmed down immediately jumped.


    ��This is the first time, I hope that it��s also the last time! Next time, I won��t be so pleasant!�� Ye Yuan��s tone gradually turned cold, making cold sweat pour on Long Xun��s forehead.

 Chapter 2139 - Little Xun Admires

    Inside the dense woods, Long Xun three people were in front, faltering.


    Ye Yuan slowly followed behind, very casual.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan consecutively took action several times and it was all insta-kills, frightening Long Xun badly.


    At the thought of posturing in front of Ye Yuan previously, Long Xun even had the heart to die.


    ��Big Brother Xun, this �� this human is too horrifying! You can��t deal with him!�� Ao Ming whispered.


    ��Pooh! What are you freaking rubbing my nose in it for? Want to kill me is it?��


    Long Xun was frightened by these words until he broke out in a cold sweat and almost finished Ao Ming off in a rage.


    Ao Ming also shuddered and said, ��Big Brother Xun, I �� I didn��t do it on purpose. However, what is he picking tarnished black devil crystals for? That thing��s corrosive power is extremely strong. Even our dragon race��s fleshy bodies can��t bear it either!��


    ��How would I know? Maybe he has a hobby for collecting those black crystals! But even if this thing is placed inside storage rings, it will also cause irreversible corrosion to people,�� Long Xun said with uncertainty.


    Along the way, he was also very curious.


    It was just that he was startled by Ye Yuan��s strength and did not dare to open his mouth at all.


    Powerful abyss monsters were as weak as paper in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan killed them as easily as killing chickens and slaughtering dogs.


    ��Alright, this place should be safer. We can stop for a while,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment Long Xun heard, he hurriedly ran over and asked: ��Your Excellency, what instructions do you have?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I collected quite a few tarnished black devil crystals along the way. So I��m going to cultivate for a while. You guys protect me.��


    The moment these words came out, Long Xun three people��s eyes went wide and he opened his mouth wide and asked, ��Y-Y-Your �� Your Excellency is going to use tarnished black devil crystals to cultivate? I-I-I �� didn��t hear you wrongly, right?��


    Long Xun was too surprised, resulting in his tongue being tied even when talking.


    Long Xun even thought that Ye Yuan had some weird hobby, who knew that Ye Yuan was actually using this to cultivate.


    Using such pure devilish energy to cultivate, wasn��t this courting death?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Why? Is there a problem?��


    Long Xun said, ��These �� These tarnished black devil crystals are the crystallization of abyss monsters�� devilish energy, it��s where their essence is located. The devilish energy contained inside is extremely harmful to martial artists. You �� You��re actually going to use it to cultivate? How to cultivate?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I have my own ways. You just need to care about standing guard.��


    Ye Yuan casually laid down a few array formations and started cultivating on the spot.


    One ball of black energy after another flowed out of the tarnished black devil crystals, being absorbed into the body by Ye Yuan.


    This scene appeared extremely strange.


    Long Xun three people��s eyes went wide, their face dumbfounded.


    ��He really absorbed devilish energy! My god, his absorption speed is also too fast! Isn��t he afraid of blowing up?�� Ao Ming said dumbfounded.


    ��Heard that there are some people among humans that are eager for quick success and will frequently cultivate some unorthodox paths. Could it be that he��s that kind of martial artist?�� Long Qing said.


    Smack!


    Long Xun directly gave him a slap at the back of his head and scolded, ��Fool! His Excellency��s divine essence undulation is incomparably pure! How does he look like a devil cultivator? Also, His Excellency��s divine essence is incomparably thick, far surpassing same rank powerhouses. Are you freaking blind? Which Eighth Firmament True Gods have you seen that have such horrifying strength?��


    Long Qing had an innocent look. But thinking about it, it was also true.


    Ye Yuan��s divine essence was incomparably pure and orthodox. It was impossible to be a devil cultivator.


    But this kind of cultivation means still brought him incredible shock.


    ��But �� But this is also too peculiar! Forget about a human! Even if it��s the fiend race, they also don��t dare to absorb tarnished black devil crystals like this!�� Long Qing said indignantly.


    Long Xun looked at Ye Yuan with worship and said, ��His Excellency isn��t an ordinary person! This devilish energy is merely a form of energy in the end. Abyss monsters are able to make use of it to become incomparably powerful. In theory, the human race and demon race should naturally be able to utilize it too. It��s just that ordinary cultivation methods are completely unable to stop the devastation of the devilish energy. Looking at it this way, His Excellency��s cultivation method must be extremely impressive!��


    Long Xun had some knowledge and understood it very quickly.


    Only when the other two people heard did they come to a realization. But their eyes when looking at Ye Yuan gradually turned from fear to respect.


    The devilish energy that they feared like a tiger actually became a great tonic to Ye Yuan.


    ��Tsk tsk, really too incredible! I can even feel that His Excellency��s realm is rising rapidly. This is Eighth Firmament True God!�� Ao Ming said with a sigh of admiration.


    The other two people deeply felt that way too.


    After several days, Ye Yuan refined all of the tarnished black devil crystals. His realm had a considerable rise once more.


    Long Xun immediately moved close and said with a fawning look, ��Your Excellency is really too incredible, to actually use the tarnished black devil crystals as divine essence stones! Little Xun admires!��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, ��Enough boot-licking, go!��


    ��Alright! Your Excellency, Little Xun will follow you in the future. You mustn��t discard Little Xun!�� Long Xun thickened his skin and said.


    In this Dragon Eye Cave, was there anything more useful than latching onto a thick thigh?


    With a powerhouse like Ye Yuan around, as long as they did not encounter Empyrean Realm abyss monsters, they could practically do whatever they pleased.


    This way, the chances of finding a spatial rift would also increase greatly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That will have to depend on your performance.��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan brought the three people and pushed through all the way. Half a month later, the party arrived in a valley. This place was the base of Long Xun and the rest.


    However, inside the base was full of desolation, everything in a terrible mess like it had just experienced a great battle.


    ��Big Brother Xun! It��s Big Brother Xun who returned!��


    Inside the dense woods by the side, several people suddenly scurried out.


    When these people saw Long Xun, each and every one of them was inexplicably agitated.


    ��Shouting and wrangling for what? Eh? Xiaochun, what��s wrong with you?��


    Long Xun was just about to berate the few people and make them offer greetings to Ye Yuan, but he discovered and each and every one of them had bloody noses and swollen faces, all carrying injuries on their bodies.


    When Long Chun saw Long Xun, he actually burst out crying with a ��wah��.


    ��Big Brother Xun, we��re so miserable these few days that you weren��t around!�� Long Chun had snot and tears running. Looks like these few days, they were oppressed.


    Long Xun frowned and said, ��Shut up for me! Speak! What in the world happened?��


    Long Chun complained tearfully, ��Big Brother Xun, it �� it was all done by Long Zhaotian! He left the words, setting a time limit for you to surrender within three months! If you don��t surrender, he��ll raze our base to the ground and let us not even have a place to stay.��


    Long Xun was greatly enraged the moment he heard and howled: ��Motherf*cking Long Zhaotian! F*cking hell, when the tiger isn��t home, the monkey calls himself king! Brothers, follow me, I��ll go and pummel the sh*t out of this guy right now!��


    As he said, Long Xun was just about to rampage but was held back by Long Chun.


    ��Big Brother Xun, you mustn��t! Long Zhaotian he found an Empyrean Realm helper! He��s formidable to the extreme. We aren��t a match! Even their camp already changed their leader too!��


    Long Chun��s words were like a basin of cold water splashing down, drenching Long Xun until his heart turned cold.


    ��W-What did you say? E-Empyrean?�� Long Xun said with a stupefied face.


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Just an Empyrean. Look how it scared you until you��re like a grandson.��


    The moment Long Chun heard Ye Yuan talk like this, he immediately spoke up to scold, ��Who the hell are you, to dare speak to Big Brother Xun this way?��

 Chapter 2140 - Big Brother Tian is Very Awe-inspiring

    Terrific lad!


    Long Chun unexpectedly bursting out this sentence frightened Long Xun until he fainted and regained consciousness several times.


    Long Xun three people��s faces changed greatly.


    Smack!


    Long Xun directly gave a blow to the back of Long Chun��s head, nearly beating him to the ground.


    ��Disrespectful! To dare speak to Lord Ye Yuan like this, are you tired of living?��


    Long Xun reproached Long Chun fiercely, then turned around and put on a smiling face as he hurriedly said, ��Your Excellency, this child is insensible. Please don��t stoop to his level.��


    ��L-Lord? This guy is merely an Eighth Firmament True God human, even inferior to me. Why are you, Big Brother Xun, calling him lord?�� Long Chun had a doubtful face.


    Not just Long Chun, the others all looked at Long Xun with great surprise.


    What kind of character was their Big Brother Xun? He actually bowed his head in submission and was obedient toward a human who was not strong, saying yes repeatedly with servility.


    Long Xun wished to smack Long Chun to death with one slap right now. He roared angrily at Long Chun and said, ��What? Not even listening to Big Brother Xun��s words anymore, is it? Call him His Excellency! From today onwards, Lord Ye is our boss!��


    Long Chun and the rest exchanged glances, clearly somewhat hesitating.


    But in the end, they still chose to listen to Long Xun��s words and called out.


    ��Boss!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Big Brother Xun is still your boss. I don��t have the spare time to be your boss.��


    Long Xun hurriedly said, ��Yes, yes, yes, what kind of character is Your Excellency? Why would you take fancy on being a boss? That �� Your Excellency, your meaning just now is �� you think nothing of Empyreans too?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Think nothing of them or not, I��ll only know after having a crack at him. Alright, find a secluded place. I��m going into a closed-seclusion.��


    Along the way, Ye Yuan hunted many abyss monsters again. The harvest was enough for him to be in a closed-seclusion for a while.


    After Ye Yuan left, the baffled looking Long Chun finally could not resist opening his mouth and asking, ��Big Brother Xun, this �� What in the world is going on here?��


    Long Xun looked at him fiercely and said, ��If you don��t want to die, shut your mouth for me! You don��t look at how he��s only Eighth Firmament True God. If he wants to annihilate us, one finger is enough!��


    Long Chun still did not believe this as he said, ��Eighth Firmament True God? One finger to wipe us out? Huhu, Big Brother Xun, you really know how to joke!��


    ��Who is freaking joking with you? You didn��t see His Excellency taking action! Do you know how we came back along the way?�� When Long Qing was saying this, his face still carried an intense look of fear.


    ��How did you return? Could it be that you didn��t walk back?��


    Long Qing smiled coldly and said, ��We walked back, but he also killed all the way back! Along the way, the abyss monsters that died in His Excellency��s hands are no less than a thousand!��


    ��What? How is this possible!�� Everyone had a look of disbelief.


    Long Xun laughed coldly and said, ��Believing it or not is up to you guys! The three of us saw it with our own eyes, so could it still be fake? Don��t blame me for not warning you guys. If you all want to seek death, feel free to go and provoke him!��


    Long Xun swung his hands and left, leaving behind the crowd with dumbfounded faces.


    �� ��


    Long Xun had already lived in Dragon Eye Cave for a long time and indeed had some ability.


    This camp was in the abyss monsters�� no-mans-land and there were actually no abyss monsters that came close. It was rather quiet, perfect for Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion.


    Ye Yuan refined the tarnished black devil crystals; his realm also slowly stepped closer to Ninth Firmament True God Realm.


    Three months later, Long Zhaotian brought a group of people and came fighting to the doorstep.


    ��Long Xun, looks like you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Today, Big Brother Tian, I, will trample your camp!�� Long Zhaotian was awe-inspiring as he shouted.


    Long Xun said in a cold voice, ��Long Zhaotian! You took advantage of the fact that I wasn��t around and injured my, Big Brother Xun��s, brothers! This score, we should also settle it properly!��


    Long Zhaotian laughed loudly and said, ��Long Xun, looks like you still haven��t figured out the situation! Let me tell you, our boss is an Empyrean Realm powerhouse. You dared to defy her elderly self, you��re dead for sure!��


    Long Xun similarly laughed loudly and said, ��It��s you who didn��t figure out the situation! Do you think that only you found a backer? On Big Brother Xun��s trip out, I also found a backer!��


    Long Zhaotian��s expression changed, extremely surprised in his heart.


    This guy wasn��t putting up a bold front, right?


    ��Hahaha, Long Xun, do you think that you can scare me, Big Brother Tian, away with one sentence? You acknowledged a boss? Call him out. This father of yours will pummel him to a pig��s head!�� Long Zhaotian said with a loud laugh.


    He completely did not believe that Long Xun found an expert too. How could there be such a coincidental thing?


    He just found an expert here and an expert popped out on Long Xun��s side too?


    ��Oh? It��s you who said that you��re going to pummel me into a pig��s head?�� A figure landed, looking at Long Zhaotian very calmly. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� When Long Xun and the rest saw Ye Yuan, they hurriedly bowed in salute.


    When Long Zhaotian saw Ye Yuan, he was first stunned, then immediately burst out laughing.


    ��Hahaha �� Long Xun, this is the expert that you found? A human, and it��s even an Eighth Firmament True God? Hahaha �� So formidable! I��m so scared! Brothers, let��s hurry up and tuck our tails between our legs and run. The boss that they found is really too scary!��


    Long Zhaotian laughed wildly, but his words were full of ridicule. Naturally, there was not a hint of really being scared.


    Just an Eighth Firmament True God, so why would he take him seriously?


    Long Zhaotian��s subordinates immediately pandered to it.


    ��Yeah, we��re so scared! This boss, you mustn��t make a move. We��re afraid that we can��t hold out.��


    ��Hahaha �� Eighth Firmament True God, I��m really so scared!��


    ��Long Xun, you��re really declining with each passing day, to actually find an Eighth Firmament True God to deceive yourself as well as others.��


    �� ��


    The other party mocked away, but Long Xun responded with a cold smile.


    Laugh!


    Laugh to your heart��s content!


    A while more, you guys probably won��t even have the strength to cry!


    Recalling when he saw Ye Yuan back then, didn��t they also had this kind of expression?


    But later, their faces were slapped resoundingly.


    This Long Zhaotian was posturing in front of His Excellency and even said that he was going to beat His Excellency to a pig��s head, heh heh ��


    ��Laughed enough?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Zhaotian laughed hard without ceasing and said, ��Haven��t laughed enough yet. Let me laugh a while more. You just be happy for now. Otherwise, you��d already be pummeled to a pig��s head now by Your Father!��


    Bang!


    His voice had yet to fade when a fist already landed on Long Zhaotian��s face, sending him flying out.


    With Long Zhaotian��s peak rank six cultivation realm, he could not react in time at all.


    Several months had passed, Ye Yuan��s current strength already steadily closed in on middle-stage Eighth Firmament True God, how much stronger was it compared to back then?


    If not for him reining in his strength, Long Zhaotian would already be utterly dead.


    Ye Yuan knew that these people stuck together and helped each other out inside the Dragon Eye Cave.


    Although both sides were on bad terms, they would not really fight to the death.


    Otherwise, just this bit of people, even if the abyss monsters did not kill them, they would have long wiped themselves out by themselves.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The tempest-like fists landed on Long Zhaotian��s body, each fist not leaving his face.


    In several breaths, Long Zhaotian became a complete and utter pig��s head.


    The smiles of those subordinates were still stiff on their faces at this time, but could not smile no matter anymore.


    Long Tian said that he was going to pummel him to a pig��s head, but in a blink, he was beaten to a pig��s head by him ��

 Chapter 2141 - Poor Memory

    ��Go back and tell your boss that in the future, our two camps will stay in our own lanes and mind our own business. Don��t attempt to challenge my patience. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!�� Ye Yuan said to the pig-head-like Long Zhaotian.


    ��Wah, wah, wah, wah ����


    Long Zhaotian��s eyes were full of shock and fear, opening his mouth and wanting to speak. But his face was already swollen like a pig��s head and could not open his mouth at all. He could only cry loudly.


    ��Hahaha �� Long Zhaotian, your current appearance is really exactly the same as a pig��s head! Looks like I��ll have to call you Pighead Tian in the future! What kind of character do you think Lord Ye is? You��re purely looking for abuse yourself!��


    Seeing Long Zhaotian��s appearance, Long Xun started laughing heartily.


    He and Long Zhaotian were almost on par in terms of strength, so they could not do anything much to the other.


    But Long Zhaotian��s camp was still a notch stronger than them.


    The two people fought for over 20 years, and he had always been at a disadvantage. Today, seeing the other party being beaten to a pig��s head, how could Long Xun not be delighted?


    Beyond the joy, Long Xun��s side was also extremely shocked, especially Long Chun.


    They were all very clear about Long Zhaotian��s strength, it was even a notch stronger than Long Xun.


    But he was like a child in front of Ye Yuan, without the strength to fight back at all.


    Previously, they were still looking down on Ye Yuan. Now, they felt lingering fear.


    It turned out that this lord was really very impressive!


    ��Still not scramming? Could it be that you guys all want to become pig heads?��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he took a step out. The other side all shuddered and brought along Pighead Tian and fled like flying.


    ��Your Excellency is mighty! Your Excellency is mighty!��


    After Long Zhaotian left, everyone cheered.


    The last time, Long Xun was not around. So they were really bullied badly. Now, Ye Yuan took revenge for them, they were extremely moved.


    �� ��


    Supporting his pig-like head, Long Zhaotian escaped back to the camp.


    Seeing the boss, Long Zhaotian used a muffled voice to complain tearfully, ��Boss! Boss! You have to seek justice for me!��


    The dragon race��s recovery ability was still extremely strong. The current Long Zhaotian��s pig head swelling already went down a little and could barely manage to talk.


    When that person opposite saw Long Zhaotian, she could not help laughing out loud.


    ��Hehehe �� Long Zhaotian, why did you become a pig��s head after not seeing for a while? Not to mention, you have quite the potential to be a pig��s head.��


    It was a girl, having two small horns growing on top of her head. If Ye Yuan was here, he would probably get a big fright.


    This girl was none other than precisely the Long Xiaochun who followed him.


    After Long Xiaochun entered the Dragon Eye Cave, she kept attempting to find Ye Yuan. But the Dragon Eye Cave was too big. She had nowhere to start at all.


    Just not long ago, Long Xiaochun accidentally stumbled upon Long Zhaotian��s camp and directly used brutish means to subdue him.


    Long Xiaochun was mischievous by nature and felt that being a boss was pretty fun. Hence, she also started taking great joy in playing.


    But her goal was the entire Dragon Clan��s strength, to make them come and find Ye Yuan together.


    After all, no matter how powerful she was, with regards to finding people, numbers still win.


    Long Zhaotian said with a bitter face, ��B-Boss, I �� I only became like this because I was carrying out errands for you!��


    Long Xiaochun giggled and said, ��Relax. The person who beat you until like this, I��ll definitely beat him until the same later as well! Speak, speak! What in the world happened? Weren��t you bragging to me every day, saying how incredible you are?��


    Only then did Long Zhaotian��s sadness turn to joy as he said, ��Boss, it��s not that I, Long Zhaotian, can��t make it, but that Long Xun also found a boss from no idea where. His strength is too strong, I��m not a match at all!��


    ��Oh? Your strength has already reached the top in rank six, could it be that their boss is an Empyrean too?�� Long Xiaochun asked curiously.


    Long Zhaotian said gloomily, ��Really isn��t! Their boss is a human, having only an Eighth Firmament True God cultivation. But his strength is incredible. I didn��t even have strength leftover to retaliate! Fortunately, he didn��t deal a killing blow. Otherwise, Little Tian probably won��t be able to come back to meet Boss.��


    ��Human? Eighth Firmament True God? Could it �� be him? Hang on, just how long has it been, how can he possibly break through his cultivation realm? Furthermore, the environment here isn��t suitable for cultivation at all. Could it be that there are still other humans that entered this place?�� Long Xiaochun said with a frown.


    When Ye Yuan entered the Dragon Eye Cave, he was merely an initial-stage Seventh Firmament True God.


    After only one year plus had passed, logically speaking, it was impossible to break through to become an Eighth Firmament True God.


    The Dragon Eye Cave��s spiritual energy was extremely sparse. Furthermore, it was mixed with large quantities of devilish energy. Cultivating became extremely slow. One must reel it in slowly like reeling silk from a cocoon before they could absorb very little spiritual energy.


    Calculating according to common sense, cultivating outside for over ten years might not even be comparable to one year in here.


    Under such circumstances, how could Ye Yuan possibly break through to be an Eighth Firmament True God in a short one year��s time?


    This kind of thing was too fantastical.


    But Long Zhaotian��s words still perked Long Xiaochun��s interest.


    She planned on personally going to take a look.


    ��Go, bring me to go and see this person!�� Long Xiaochun got up and said.


    Long Zhaotian was greatly excited and said, ��Heh, with Boss making a move, that bunch of grandsons will definitely die very miserable! Boss, you have to stand up for me and beat that punk into a pig��s head!��


    Long Xiaochun pretended to be cold and proud as she said, ��Relax, you��re my subordinate. Slapping your face is equivalent to slapping mine. I��ll help you pummel him to a pig��s head!��


    �� ��


    Very soon, Long Zhaotian and the rest staged a comeback.


    Outside Long Xun��s camp, Long Zhaotian shouted ,��Human brat! My boss is here, so hurry up and come out to die!��


    Long Xun came when he heard that. Seeing Long Zhaotian, he laughed loudly and said, ��Pighead Tian, you were already beaten to a pig��s head. Are you still being forgetful?��


    Long Zhaotian smiled coldly and said, ��This one is our boss, the Dragon Clan��s peerless genius, Lord Xiaochun! Let your boss come out. Lord Xiaochun said that she��s going to beat him to a pig��s head!��


    Long Xun��s gaze shifted to Long Xiaochun and could not help revealing a serious look.


    This guy really found an Empyrean Realm to be boss!


    Furthermore, this Empyrean Realm was actually a young and beautiful woman!


    Long Xiaochun already reached Empyrean Realm at a young age. So how could she be relegated to the Dragon Eye Cave?


    ��Go, invite Boss out!�� Long Xun had a solemn look as he said to the Long Qing beside him.


    Long Zhaotian had a smug look and said with a cold smile, ��Long Xun, you wouldn��t think that your Eighth Firmament True God can still deal with an Empyrean powerhouse, right? The moment Lord Xiaochun makes her move, that boss of yours will immediately turn to minced meat! This father of yours had said before, asking you to surrender earlier, but you wouldn��t listen. Today, I will definitely beat you to a pig��s head! Oh, right, that boss of yours too!��


    ��Who did you say that you want to beat to a pig��s head? Looks like your memory is very poor!�� Ye Yuan walked over leisurely as he said coolly.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Long Xiaochun��s pupils could not help constricting, her face revealing an expression akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    When Ye Yuan saw Long Xiaochun, he was also stunned.


    He did not expect that he would actually run into Long Xiaochun here.


    Why did this girl enter the Dragon Eye Cave?


    Long Zhaotian completely did not detect the strange atmosphere and still laughed loudly as he said, ��Hahaha �� beating who to a pig��s head? Of course it��s beating you to a pig��s head! You, a mere Eighth Firmament True God, dare to be so arrogant! Today, I want you to be unable to bear the consequences of failure!��


    Bang!


    A heavy punch landed on his face, directly sending him flying out.


    The one who hit Long Zhaotian was none other than precisely Long Xiaochun.

 Chapter 2142 - Strength Soaring

    The swelling on Long Zhaotian��s face just went down a little. With Long Xiaochun��s blow, it swelled up again.


    ��B-Boss, did you hit the wrong person?�� Long Zhaotian hurt until tears came out as he said with an innocent look.


    Long Xiaochun turned to look at him and said with a grin, ��I didn��t hit wrongly. Ye Yuan is my close brother. You want to beat him to a pig��s head, so I naturally have to beat you to a pig��s head.��


    ��C-Close brother?�� Long Zhaotian said with a stunned look.


    Ye Yuan was speechless and said, ��Xiaochun, why did you enter the Dragon Eye Cave?��


    Long Xiaochun wrinkled her nose and said, ��Humph! I knew that Long Chi that old thing had no good intentions and went to find Mother. In the end, I just happened to hear her and Uncle Zhi discussing your matter. Originally, I planned on going to stop it, who knew that I was still a step late. Hence, I took advantage of the fact that they weren��t paying attention and secretly slipped inside. You were brought into the Dragon Clan by me. So how can I watch you seek your doom? Now that I entered, I have to bring you out!��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he felt warm in his heart.


    From the first time he laid eyes on Long Xiaochun, Ye Yuan had a feeling of being connected by blood, feeling very cordial.


    Maybe they really had bloodline relations.


    After all, nobody knew the origins of the dragon race��s progenitor too.


    Maybe he was born in the Raindragon Stronghold?


    ��Sigh, you, this girl, are also too capricious. With you coming here, outside is probably already in a mess,�� Ye Yuan said with a sigh.


    Long Xiaochun laughed and said, ��Who cares! Either way, I wasn��t happy at all staying in Raindragon Stronghold. Instead, after coming in, the feeling of being a boss is pretty good. Whatshisname, Little Tian, why haven��t you come to apologize to Ye Yuan?��


    Long Zhaotian came brimming with confidence, thinking that he could gain back face at Ye Yuan here and beat Ye Yuan to a pig��s head.


    Who knew that he failed to beat Ye Yuan and he himself became a pig��s head again.


    In the end, he even had to admit his fault to Ye Yuan, truly aggrieving!


    However, Long Xiaochun gave the order. So he did not dare to defy in the slightest.


    Long Xiaochun was unruly by nature. These few days, Long Zhaotian had no lack of being tortured by Long Xiaochun and had long lost any temper.


    ��Y-Your Excellency, Little Tian was wrong!�� Long Zhaotian said with a bitter look.


    Seeing Long Zhaotian��s appearance like a bullied wife, Long Xun was tickled badly by the side.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand, he could not be bothered to stoop to the level of this kind of minor character.


    ��Since Xiaochun, you, like to be boss, in the future, merge these two camps. You can be the boss,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Alright, alright!�� Long Xiaochun had a joyful look.


    �� ��


    The two camps directly underwent a merger. Long Xun and Long Zhaotian went through the specifics of operations, the two people naturally could not avoid some disputes.


    Ye Yuan brought Long Xiaochun to his station and started chatting.


    Long Xiaochun sized Ye Yuan up and down and said with a peculiar look, ��Really seeing ghosts! In this sort of place, not only did your cultivation speed not slow down, but it actually became faster instead!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and started revolving the Chaos Heavenspan Canon. Devilish energy poured into his body crazily.


    When Long Xiaochun saw this scene, her mouth opened wide and she exclaimed, ��Y-Y-You �� You can actually use devilish energy to cultivate? This �� This is really seeing ghosts! Since young, I thought that I was a freak. Only now do I know that compared to you, I��m too normal!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You��re such an adorable little girl. How are you a freak?��


    Long Xiaochun laughed and said, ��I��m different from the rest.��


    Ye Yuan could feel that Long Xiaochun��s smile exuded pain and loneliness.


    Ye Yuan had long known that Long Chi they all called Long Xiaochun a misfortune star.


    It seemed like this little lass had a sad past.


    However, since Long Xiaochun was not willing to say, Ye Yuan naturally was not willing to ask more either.


    ��Heh heh, if Long Chi that old man know about your current situation, I reckon that it can anger him until he directly goes to reincarnate.�� Long Xiaochun suddenly thought of something and started laughing.


    Ye Yuan also laughed and said, ��Huhu, I think so too. Honestly speaking, I really quite like this place right now and don��t really want to go out anymore. The Dragon Eye Cave is simply a cultivation paradise to me.��


    Long Xiaochun was speechless as she said, ��It��s also just you that treats this place like your own backyard. However �� how do we go out?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I naturally have a way.��


    Long Xiaochun��s pupils constricted and she said in surprise, ��You have a way?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��But right now, the most important thing is still increasing strength! Xiaochun, these next few years, I��ll have to rely on you.��


    Long Xiaochun patted her chest and said, ��Say it, want me to do what?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Hunt abyss monsters and get as many tarnished black devil crystals back as possible.��


    Long Xiaochun said speechlessly, ��Alright! The method that you cultivate is really special!��


    Hence, in the following days, Long Xiaochun brought the merged two great camps and went around hunting abyss monsters.


    With Long Xiaochun this abnormally strong girl around, rank six abyss monsters could not last one exchange with her at all.


    Ye Yuan was only in charge of one thing, that was cultivation.


    Saving the time to hunt, Ye Yuan��s realm advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Three years later, Ye Yuan completed the arduous task that others were unable to complete; in 3000 years, he broke through to become a Ninth Firmament True God!


    Another five years passed, Ye Yuan broke through to peak Ninth Firmament True God in one stroke. There was only a step away from the next realm!


    His cultivation speed made everyone stare wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    Regardless of whether it was Long Xun or Long Zhaotian, they could only use the label freak to describe Ye Yuan.


    On this day, Ye Yuan exited seclusion.


    Long Xun scuttled over to greet, saying fawningly, ��Your Excellency is really god-like! In a short nine years�� time, cultivating from Seventh Firmament True God to peak Ninth Firmament True God, we probably can��t find a second one in the entire Heavenspan World, right?��


    This was not merely buttering up, he was truly shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation speed virtually drove people mad.


    With Ye Yuan��s speed of absorbing divine essence, if it were the average person, it was sufficient to burst their divine seas. But Ye Yuan was like a bottomless pit, however much you came, I would absorb however much.


    Too crazy!


    He had never heard before that someone could cultivate this way at True God Realm.


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, ��Stop sucking up!��


    Long Xun chuckled and said, ��Your Excellency, coming out of seclusion this time, are you bringing us out?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��No rush. Since the cultivation environment here is so good, I naturally have to break through to the Empyrean Realm in one go before going out. Otherwise, after going out, it will have to expend a great deal of effort to break through to the Empyrean Realm.��


    The quantity of spiritual energy required for Ye Yuan to break through to the Empyrean Realm was extremely horrifying.


    Reaching the outside world, just the cultivation resources had to make big preparations.


    The tarnished black devil crystals here were abundant, and the devilish energy was also very plentiful.


    Breaking through here was naturally the best choice.


    ��This �� Your Excellency isn��t consolidating your realm a bit before breaking through again?�� Long Xun said hesitantly.


    If ordinary people��s cultivation realm broke through so quickly, it was hard to avoid their realms being unstable.


    Wanting to break through to the Empyrean Realm needed a very long time of preparations.


    Otherwise, the chance of failure was very high.


    Looking at Ye Yuan��s meaning, he wanted to break through in one stroke.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need! Uh, I haven��t moved around for so long. I should go out and stretch my limbs a bit.��

 Chapter 2143 - Initial Display of Talent!

    ��Y-Your Excellency, we can��t head forward any futher! Any further in front and that��s the territory of rank seven abyss monsters!��


    ��Yeah, Lord Ye. You��re powerful and can escape from the jaws of rank seven abyss monsters, but �� but we can��t!��


    Following behind Ye Yuan, Long Xun and Long Zhaotian were trembling. The others were also the same.


    Long Xiaochun pursed her mouth and said, ��Scared of what? This grand-aunt is here, would I still let you guys suffer a loss?��


    ��Goodness gracious, my grand-aunt, the strength of rank seven abyss monsters far surpasses those in the same rank! If it aims a sneeze over here, we��d be dead!�� Big Brother Xun said with a bitter face.


    ��Roar!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a three-person tall behemoth suddenly emerged.


    The devilish energy sprawling off its body practically froze everyone!


    ��Goodness gracious, why did it really come when we were talking about it?��


    Long Xun and Long Zhaotian were scared out of their wits and practically did not even have the courage to run away anymore.


    Empyrean level abyss monster!


    This was a monster with a lion��s head and a horse��s body. Two sharp teeth poked out, giving people an extremely ferocious feeling.


    ��Heh, a decent one finally came out. I��ll use you to practice then!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and drew the bone sword, fighting intent surging on his body.


    ��W-What? Your Excellency, you aren��t mad, right? This is an empyrean level abyss monster!��


    Long Xun was frightened badly.


    Empyrean level abyss monster was not what ordinary Empyreans could compare to, their strength far surpassed those in the same rank.


    Even though they all knew that Ye Yuan��s combat power surpassed people, facing an Empyrean level abyss monster was still too forceful!


    ��Ye Yuan, you��d better don��t push yourself. I��ve exchanged blows with Empyrean level abyss monsters before and almost succumbed. Dealing with it with your current strength is still too forceful!�� Long Xiaochun said.


    She had mucked around in the Dragon Eye Cave for a long time. These few years, she had always been helping Ye Yuan hunt abyss monsters and could not avoid contact with Empyrean level abyss monsters.


    Long Xiaochun��s fleshy body strength was extremely powerful, her strength far surpassing same rank Empyrean level powerhouses.


    But even so, she was not a match either. It could be seen how strong Empyrean level abyss monsters were.


    ��Heh, it will be boring if it��s weak. Moreover, I require purer devilish energy when I break through to the Empyrean Realm. The devilish energy of True God Realm is already insufficient to use.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, his footsteps already moving over toward the abyss monster.


    ��Ignorant human, you��re provoking the noble abyss monsters. This Empyrean will tear you to shreds!�� Inside Ye Yuan��s mind came the other party��s mental transmission.


    Abyss monsters were extremely bloodthirsty but were not without intellect.


    On the contrary, abyss monsters had extremely high intelligence. It was just that there was a language barrier, they rarely took the initiative to carry out communication.


    When they saw humans or demons, there was only one word; that was kill!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, ��Huhu, arrogant and overweening fool. Today, I��ll let you see how lowly you are!��


    ��Humph, a mere human, truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! There will come a day where we shall step out of the abyss and occupy the entire Heavenspan World! Now, you can become a delicious meal in this Empyrean��s stomach! Blade of the Devil!��


    The abyss monster brandished its claws, several dozen black blades of light rushed over.


    The swift and fierce blade lights virtually shredded space.


    Feeling the horrifying power of the black blades, the faces of Big Brother Xun and the rest turned white. Even Long Xiaochun also had a solemn look.


    ��Sword Hollow Etch!��


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, there was no problem instant-casting several dozen sword hollow etchs.


    Incomparably swift and fierce sword light flashed past, completely canceling out the Blade of the Devil.


    The abyss monster was also slightly surprised. Clearly, it did not expect that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    His Blade of the Devil, even if it was an ordinary human Empyrean, it was also impossible to neutralize so easily. It was actually resolved by a True God so lightly.


    ��Huhu, merely like that! Watch this!��


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    ��Grand Universe Palm!��


    ��Heavenly Qilin Devouring Space!��


    By relying on these powerful moves, Ye Yuan actually fought until he was evenly matched with the abyss monster!


    By the side, Big Brother Xun and the rest were immediately dumbfounded.


    ��T-T-This �� My eyesight must be failing!�� Long Zhaotian stammered.


    ��A True God battling an Empyrean, this is simply unheard of! Furthermore, this abyss monster isn��t an ordinary Empyrean. Their strength far surpasses those in the same rank! This is also to say that if an ordinary First Firmament Empyrean is here, wouldn��t they be defeated at His Excellency��s hands?�� As Big Brother Xun was in shock, he sucked in a cold breath.


    The combat power that Ye Yuan displayed simply drove people insane.


    Even though they had long known that Ye Yuan��s combat strength was extremely strong; sufficient to insta-kill peak True God powerhouses, when Ye Yuan really went all out, they were still shocked.


    This was simply not the combat strength that a human should have at all!


    How powerful were abyss monsters?


    But Ye Yuan actually crossed a major realm and fought until he was evenly-matched with the abyss monster!


    ��Strong! Too strong! Whichever genius, whichever heaven��s chosen, they are simply a pile of trash in front of Lord Ye!�� Long Zhaotian marveled with admiration.


    ��Ah, ah, ah! Damn human, you��ve angered this Empyrean! This Empyrean is going to tear you to shreds!��


    After a drawn-out battle, the abyss monster finally got angry.


    Bang!


    The Empyrean abyss monster opened its huge mouth. Countless devilish energy suddenly gathered.


    Everyone��s faces changed, Long Xiaochun even cried out in surprise, ��Ye Yuan, run first! Avoid the sharp edge!��


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of retreating at all, laughing loudly and saying, ��Haha, perfect!��


    ��Run? Do you think that you have the chance to escape? You��ll be crushed into nothingness right away! Abyss Desolation!��


    The Empyrean abyss monster gave a loud roar. The entire space became dark.


    Heaven and earth seemed to have become a huge cage, completely imprisoning Ye Yuan, not giving him any chance to escape at all.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of their faces changed wildly.


    Up until now, they had never seen before Empyrean level abyss monsters executing an attack. They did not know that the other party actually still had such a horrifying ultimate move.


    This power was virtually going to obliterate everything!


    ��Ye Yuan, I��ll help you!�� Long Xiaochun cried out daintily, raising her fist and about to join the fight.


    ��Xiaochun, don��t come over! This fellow, me alone handling is enough!�� Ye Yuan shouted.


    ��Ignorant fool, this Empyrean wants to see what means you have!��


    ��Heh heh, do you think that only you have an ultimate move? Today, this little lord will let you take a look at true strength!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, the muscles on his body started quivering fiercely. A formidable strength soared to the sky.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s faces changed wildly.


    The imposing aura on Ye Yuan��s body was not one type, but three types!


    Divine essence, vital energy, and soul force!


    Three kinds of auras rose steadily up, surging straight for the sky. Heaven and earth changed colors because of it.


    In an instant, fierce gales howled. Ye Yuan��s hair fluttered, his clothes fluttering madly, akin to a celestial deity descending.


    On Ye Yuan��s body, three kinds of auras actually started fusing. His body gave off a terrifying light.


    The cage formed by devilish energy was akin to paper paste under this imposing momentum, directly being burst through.


    ��W-What move is this? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! In this world, how can someone possibly fuse Essence, Energy, and Spirit into one?!��


    The Empyrean abyss monster was simultaneously alarmed and enraged, its voice carrying incredible disbelief.

 Chapter 2144 - Astonishing Secret

    ��Essence, energy, and spirit combining into one! How �� How did he do it?��


    ��Is this the power of essence, energy, and spirit combining into one? Truly ridiculously strong!��


    ��Since time immemorial, there have been countless dazzlingly talented people who attempted to fuse essence, energy, and spirit. But no one had done it before, how did he do it?��


    �� ��


    There were cries of exclamations all around, everyone was stunned by this scene.


    Before Divine Dao, one needed to fuse essence, energy, and spirit, the three paths, before they could attain Divine Dao.


    But after Divine Dao, the Heavenspan World��s martial artists no longer had anyone capable of fusing essence, energy, and spirit into one.


    Dao Ancestors could not either!


    Since remote antiquity, there had been no idea how many major powers that cultivated essence, energy, and spirit, the three paths, to the highest summit, and attempted to fuse them into one.


    But upon entering Divine Dao, this became a paradox!


    No matter how hard they worked, they were unable to succeed.


    Hence, essence, energy, and spirit being unable to fuse into one, this also became the consensus of all of the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses and also the iron law!


    But today, this iron law was broken by Ye Yuan!


    This kind of thing was seriously too shocking.


    Long Xiaochun and the rest opened their mouths wide, eyes full of disbelief.


    ��The vast universe, I am Heaven! Chaos Essence Single Breath Sword!��


    Ye Yuan��s entire state finally climbed to his peak state, reaching an incomparably profound and mysterious realm.


    The way Long Xun and the rest saw it, the current Ye Yuan was like the sovereign of this world.


    Under such power, the Empyrean abyss monster quivered and did not even dare to escape.


    One sword unleashing, it carried the power to obliterate heaven and decimate the earth. The Empyrean abyss monster directly turned to ashes, scattering and disappearing.


    Picking up the tarnished black devil crystals, Ye Yuan was astonished. He said, ��Well-deserving of being an Empyrean level tarnished black devil crystal, to actually still be able to maintain perfectly unscathed even against my Chaos Essence One Breath Sword. Empyrean level tarnished black devil crystals are indeed extraordinary!��


    At present, Ye Yuan��s essence, energy, and spirit, the three paths were all already cultivated to the peak of Origin Pill Realm.


    His state was also unprecedentedly harmonious.


    He was already just a step away from the next realm.


    With the Chaos Heavenspan Canon cultivating until this day, its extraordinary aspect was finally exhibited.


    Other people were unable to fuse essence, energy, and spirit into one, but after his divine essence realm reached the peak Origin Pill Realm, essence, energy, and spirit three paths fused into one naturally.


    And this state faintly echoed with the Origin Pill inside his divine sea, reaching a kind of delicate state.


    It seemed like there was something that was going to break through the soil.


    Ye Yuan understood that he was just missing an opportunity and he would be able to step into the next realm!


    ��Ye Yuan, how did you do it? I��ve never heard before of someone capable of fusing essence, energy, and spirit into one! If this piece of news is spread in the Heavenspan World, it will bound to stir up a bloody storm!��


    Long Xiaochun��s face revealed a rare solemn expression.


    She knew that the significance of this matter was too severe. If it was known by people, Ye Yuan would likely face extremely dangerous circumstances.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Therefore, this matter can��t let people know! You guys should know what to do?��


    His gaze swept across everyone��s faces. Long Xun and the rest trembled all over, immediately understanding something.


    It was only to see Long Xun kneel on the ground with a thud. He then wailed pitifully. ��Y-Your Excellency, spare my life! Little Xun was blind just now and didn��t see anything.��


    With Long Xun taking the lead, the rest knelt on the ground one after another, wailing inordinately.


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless when he saw the situation and said, ��When did I want your lives?��


    Big Brother Xun was taken aback and said stammeringly, ��Your Excellency��s meaning isn��t to have us end ourselves?��


    Ye Yuan scolded laughingly, ��Fool! Wanting to kill you all is merely a matter of snapping a finger. Do you think that I��d still talk so much crap with you all?��


    It was still Long Zhaotian who was smart, immediately rejoicing and directly swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath. Furthermore, the oath was extremely vicious.


    The others were enlightened, all following and swearing Heavenly Dao Oaths.


    The gazes of Big Brother Xun and the rest when looking at Ye Yuan gradually turned to respect from fear.


    If it were others, for the sake of their own safety, they would definitely kill them without the slightest hesitation.


    Once this kind of thing spread to the Heavenspan World, it would surely cause an enormous shock.


    The entire Heavenspan World would instantly fall into a mess.


    At that time, probably even Dao Ancestors would be startled too. Ye Yuan would fall into endless pursuit.


    Everyone would want to pry open Ye Yuan��s mouth and have him give an account on how to fuse essence, energy, and spirit.


    But Ye Yuan did not!


    This kind of lord was worth following!


    Long Xiaochun also had her palm towards the sky, preparing to swear a deadly oath, but she was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    ��You don��t need to sweat it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Xiaochun said uncertainly, ��Why?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��A person who entered the Dragon Eye Cave without hesitation for a brother, what can I not trust about the person?��


    Long Xiaochun smiled sweetly and patted Ye Yuan��s shoulder as she said, ��Good bro! But �� my Heavenly Dao Oath still has to be sworn. Furthermore �� they all have to die! Ye Yuan, the implications of this matter are too great.��


    With Long Xiaochun saying this, the hearts of Long Xun and the rest that had just been set at ease immediately tensed up again.


    Although they swore a deadly oath and there was naturally Heavenly Dao restricting it, swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath had its risks after all.


    If someone divulged Ye Yuan��s intel at the risk of certain death, then the consequences were too ghastly to imagine.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head firmly and said, ��When I, Ye Yuan, do things, I naturally have my own reason! Long Xun they all have no grudge nor enmity with me. Killing people to silence them, this sort of thing, I, Ye Yuan, can��t do it! Don��t bring this matter up anymore!��


    With Ye Yuan saying so, Long Xun and the rest felt warm in their hearts.


    This boss of theirs was truly different from the rest


    Even Long Xiaochun, this kind of person with pure thoughts, wanted to kill people to silence them permanently. It could be imagined how severe this matter was.


    However, Ye Yuan did not make a move against them without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Your Excellency rest assured, even if I, Little Xun, dies, I also won��t divulge a clue!�� Long Xun said firmly.


    ��Your Excellency, Little Tian would rather die than to talk about this matter!


    ��Your Excellency, me too!��


    �� ��


    Everyone scrambled to get a word in, but their expressions had an unprecedented solemness.


    By the side, Long Xiaochun was stunned. She was very clear about these people��s temperament.


    Being opportunistic, being adept at currying favor, cravenly clinging onto life instead of braving death.


    All in all, Long Xiaochun failed to see some advantages from them.


    But until now, these people��s faces had an unprecedented solemness. Clearly, it came from the bottom of their hearts.


    ��However, the prerequisite is that we can go out!�� Long Xun suddenly thought of something as he said bitterly.


    In this Dragon Eye Cave, wanting to get out was far too difficult.


    Not going out, even if they knew an astonishing secret, it was impossible to divulge it either.


    Even if they wanted to leak it, there was nowhere to leak it too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You all rest assured, I��ll find a spatial rift and bring you all out!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone trembled all over.


    ��Your Excellency, you really have a way?�� Long Xun said in disbelief.


    ��Y-Your Excellency, this kind of thing can��t be joked around!�� Long Zhaotian also said with an agitated look.


    Ye Yuan said confidently, ��Of course, but �� I have to break through to the Empyrean Realm first!��

 Chapter 2145 - : Breakthrough Changes, Emergency Situation

    What Ye Yuan wanted to break through to was naturally not the Empyrean Realm.


    As for what kind of realm it was, he himself could not say for sure either.


    But Ye Yuan had a feeling that his next realm would definitely be extraordinary.


    It had been close to a year in a twinkle. Ye Yuan had killed many Empyrean level abyss monsters by working together with Long Xiaochun, obtaining quite a few tarnished black devil crystals at the Empyrean level


    The devilish energy contained inside those tarnished black devil crystals was extremely pure, more than a hundred times purer compared to True God Realm.


    With these tarnished black devil crystals, Ye Yuan could start to assault the next realm.


    Inside a stone chamber in the camp, Ye Yuan sat cross-legged. His mind was in confusion.


    ��My essence, energy, and spirit have all already reached the peak of Origin Pill Realm and formed a resonance. The Origin Pill inside the divine sea is already compressed to the limit too. Wonder what kind of unusual change will occur if I continue pouring in large quantities of chaos divine essence?��


    Inside Ye Yuan��s divine sea, the Origin Pill was already compressed until it was just the size of a pea. But the power contained inside was extremely horrifying.


    Around the Origin Pill, Dao marks revolved around, akin to a sea of lightning.


    ��It��s time to begin!��


    Ye Yuan flipped his palm, several pieces of tarnished black devil crystals flew up, suspending around him.


    The Chaos Heavenspan Canon revolved. Ye Yuan started to absorb the devilish energy inside the tarnished black devil crystals frenziedly, pouring it into the Origin Pill.


    Empyrean level tarnished black devil crystals had immense reserves and were also extremely pure.


    Ye Yuan absorbing them was like a vast ocean flooding in, causing a huge impact on Ye Yuan��s divine sea.


    His Origin Pill was already being compressed to the extreme. Currently, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon continued to push chaos divine essence into the Origin Pill.


    All of a sudden, the Origin Pill started vibrating fiercely.


    An intense pain came from his abdomen area, Ye Yuan��s forehead broke out in cold sweat.


    However, this was just the beginning!


    The Chaos Heavenspan Canon completely did not care about whether the Origin Pill could withstand it or not, squeezing chaos divine essence in non-stop.


    The originally stable Origin Pill also became more and more unstable.


    This way, the pain that Ye Yuan suffered was also tremendous.


    ��What powerful aura undulations! Is �� Is this really breaking through to the Empyrean Realm?��


    Outside the stone chamber, Long Xiaochun and the rest were currently standing guard for Ye Yuan.


    Sensing such intense undulations, Long Xiaochun also felt alarmed.


    She herself had broken through to the Empyrean Realm before and naturally knew what kind of concept was breaking through to the Empyrean Realm.


    But Ye Yuan only just started and the commotion was already even bigger than hers.


    ��His Excellency��s commotion here is also too big! If it provokes a powerful abyss monster when the time comes, we can��t block it!�� Long Xun said speechlessly.


    Before breaking through, Ye Yuan already joined hands with Long Xiaochun, cleaning up the abyss monsters in a radius of several hundred miles.


    But looking at it now, it was completely insufficient!


    Just the current commotion, the devilish energy in a radius of ten thousand miles already gathered over crazily.


    Such a huge commotion, to say that those powerful abyss monsters would not react, that would be seeing ghosts.


    One piece of tarnished black devil crystal after another was being absorbed. Ye Yuan��s aura became stronger and stronger. The Origin Pill in his abdomen became more and more unstable.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly and said, ��Damn it! Why at this time? This way, the tarnished black devil crystals that I prepared probably aren��t enough anymore!��


    It turned out that the Origin pill absorbing chaos divine essence crazily actually affected the fleshy body.


    At this time, his fleshy body actually started breaking through too, and he was going to transcend the tribulation!


    Rank seven nirvanic tribulation!


    The horrifying degree of rank seven nirvanic tribulation virtually made people despair. It was ten times more terrifying than the first six added up!


    At this juncture, the nirvanic tribulation arriving at the same time was simply deadly!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan revolved the Chaos Heavenspan Canon crazily, absorbing tarnished black devil crystals like a whale swallowing seawater.


    The consumption rate of tarnished black devil crystals suddenly sped up.


    For the sake of this breakthrough, Ye Yuan naturally prepared adequately. But under this kind of situation currently, the reserves of tarnished black devil crystals were somewhat struggling to make ends meet.


    Rumble!


    Horrifying energy erupted, directly blasting the stone chamber to dust.


    Long Xiaochun��s pupils constricted and she cried out in surprise, ��Not good! He �� He��s transcending the nirvanic tribulation at the same time! Is this guy mad?��


    As a dragon race Empyrean, she naturally knew the power of the rank seven nirvanic tribulation.


    Even if it was her, she did not dare to easily attempt it too.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually also wanted to transcend the nirvanic tribulation at the crucial juncture of breaking through to the Empyrean Realm! It was truly an action that courted death!


    How could she know that Ye Yuan had no command over himself either!


    In this world, he was the first person who fused essence, energy, and spirit, the three paths. Even he himself also did not know that such a problem would occur.


    But now, saying anything was too late as well.


    ��This �� This is too crazy! His Excellency is really god-like, to actually dare transcend nirvanic tribulation when breaking through to be an Empyrean!�� Long Xun had a look of worship and did not feel that it was dangerous at all.


    Ever since learning that Ye Yuan fused essence, energy, and spirit, the three paths, his worship of Ye Yuan was already akin to the waters of the Yellow River, flowing unceasingly.


    Since His Excellency dared to do so, he naturally had the confidence. There was no need to worry at all.


    ��In this world, who isn��t extremely cautious like treading on thin ice when breaking through to the Empyrean Realm? But His Excellency is actually transcending two tribulations simultaneously! This really broadens our horizons!�� Long Zhaotian also said with a look of worship.


    ��Heh heh, no wonder His Excellency��s dragon race martial technique is so strong! It turns out that he��s of the perfect sixth transformation golden body! To be able to transcend rank six nirvanic tribulation is already rarely seen in this world. Now, if he were to transcend the rank seven nirvanic tribulation, I��m afraid that the moment he enters the Empyrean Realm, he��ll be able to contend with Second Firmament Empyreans,�� Long Xun��s two eyes shone as he said.


    ��Heh, more than that! Don��t you forget, His Excellency still has the Chaos Essence One Breath Sword!�� Long Zhaotian said with a chuckle.


    The two people chimed in one after another, practically lauding Ye Yuan up to the heavens. But Ye Yuan knew his own suffering. The two tribulations already reached a very critical period, the tarnished black devil crystals almost could not sustain his needs anymore!


    Suddenly, Long Xiaochun��s face changed and she said, ��Not good! There are Empyrean level abyss monsters that came!��


    Everyone��s faces changed, one powerful aura after another closed in from all directions.


    This huge commotion provoked powerful Empyrean level abyss monsters in the end.


    ��This �� What to do?�� The expressions of Long Xun and the rest changed wildly as they were in shock.


    In front of these Empyrean level abyss monsters, they did not even have the qualifications to be cannon fodders.


    An abyss monster casually puffing out a breath would eradicate them!


    Long Xiaochun��s expression became incomparably solemn, and she gritted her teeth and said, ��If really can��t, I can only cry!��


    Long Xun revealed a smile that was uglier than crying as he said, ��My grandaunt, already at this time, you��re still in the mood to crack jokes? If crying can resolve problems, then I��ll cry for three days and three nights right now.��


    But Long Xiaochun said seriously, ��I��m not joking with you, when I cry, even I myself am scared. It��s just that I��m afraid that �� Ye Yuan probably can��t withstand it!��


    ��Hahaha �� Ignorant human to actually cause such a huge commotion when breaking through, really courting death!��


    ��That��s right, that��s right! This human is very strong. He must taste very good!��


    ��At that time, each depends on their own ability! See who can get him!��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of the abyss monsters revealed amused looks, all staring at Ye Yuan like hungry wolves.

 Chapter 2146 - Visitor From the Abyss

    Looking at the bunch of greedy gazes giving off light in the darkness, Long Xiaochun��s heart sunk to rock-bottom.


    The abyss monsters being summoned were extremely powerful. She even detected that there was a Third Firmament Empyrean Realm��s aura.


    Abyss monsters at this strength were not what she could deal with at all.


    ��Don��t care anymore!��


    Long Xiaochun gritted her teeth and was actually really squeezing out tears over there.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s voice sounded in her ears: ��Xiaochun, make use of the jade slip that I gave you and bring them all out! You don��t need to care about my side. Let them come over!��


    ��But ���� Long Xiaochun was anxious.


    ��No buts! Let them come over!�� Ye Yuan directly interrupted.


    Long Xiaochun gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said, ��You all, follow me!��


    Finished saying, she brought everyone and directly crushed the jade slip.


    The spatial node technique activated, Long Xiaochun and the rest were directly teleported out.


    ��Lord Xiaochun, this �� We��re all gone, but what about Lord Ye?�� Long Xun said worriedly.


    Long Xiaochun looked into the distance, her gaze glimmering as she said, ��I hope that he has a way!��


    Over here, a group of Empyrean level abyss monsters was casting covetous eyes, getting closer and closer to Ye Yuan.


    ��Spatial node technique! Truly excellent means!��


    ��Heh, the commotion of this human��s breakthrough is truly extraordinary! It��s even much stronger than us noble abyss monsters!��


    ��Seems like he must be very delicious!��


    �� ��


    The current Ye Yuan, in the view of the abyss monsters, Ye Yuan was the most tasty delicacy.


    As for Long Xiaochun they all escaping, it did not matter.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Finally, someone could not hold back and made a move against Ye Yuan.


    ��The prey is mine! Nobody snatch!��


    ��To dare snatch prey from me, are you all tired of living?��


    �� ��


    Once someone made a move, the other abyss monsters all could not hold back, dashing over one after another.


    Such a delicious prey, how could they possibly give it to others?


    ��Heh, truly, someone delivers a pillow when taking a nap! A bunch of fools, I was just worrying that the tarnished black devil crystals were insufficient! Since that��s the case, then I won��t be courteous!��


    In the group of abyss monsters�� ears, came Ye Yuan��s mocking laughter. They could not help being greatly alarmed in their hearts.


    Right then, a horrifying energy undulation erupted from Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Dao births one, one births two, two births three, three births myriad life! I finally understand!�� Amidst the explosion sound, came Ye Yuan��s hearty laughter.


    Feeling this energy that could decimate heaven and earth, the group of Empyrean level abyss monsters felt their hairs stand on end. An incredible feeling of danger welled up in their hearts.


    ��Not good! Quickly run!��


    ��Damn it! Does this guy not want his life anymore?��


    �� ��


    Alarmed and angry voices lingered incessantly. These Empyrean level abyss monsters turned tail and ran.


    But it was already too late!


    A noiseless explosion extended in all directions, destroying everything!


    Including Ye Yuan himself!


    The current Ye Yuan directly blew up into ashes!


    However, his body was condensed again very quickly, then obliterated, rinse and repeat like this.


    Nirvanic Tribulation!


    Amidst this horrifying explosion, Ye Yuan was transcending the nirvanic tribulation.


    Not just this, Ye Yuan��s divine soul was similarly being blown into pieces.


    In the center of this horrifying energy, there were only two things that were not destroyed.


    One was the World Suppressing Stele.


    The other was Ye Yuan��s consciousness!


    Time could be destroyed, but only consciousness was imperishable!


    ��Tarnished black devil crystals, absorb for me!��


    Those tarnished black devil crystals were directly gobbled up by Ye Yuan, fusing into the explosions, using to condense the fleshy body, using to re-mold the divine soul!


    These Second Firmament and Third Firmament Empyrean Realm tarnished black devil crystals were incomparably pure, the energy was also extremely plentiful. To the current Ye Yuan, it was simply a great tonic.


    The explosions were still continuing, the entire Dragon Eye Cave was trembling.


    Those powerful abyss monsters were frightened until they ran like mad outside.


    The void shattered, gale winds wreaked havoc.


    The entire Dragon Eye Cave fell into utter chaos.


    �� ��


    In the extreme depths, several archaic auras suddenly emerged, emitting voices there were simultaneously alarmed and enraged.


    A hoarse voice roared angrily, ��Damn it! The third layer��s seal is actually broken!��


    Another ancient voice said, ��Sigh, we have guarded the abyss for countless years! Ididn��t expect that it actually had the seals broken by someone from outside!��


    Another person said, ��Could it be that �� our eight great Abyss Suppressing Pseudo Worlds were breached? Someone attempted to breach the abyss from the outside world?��


    At this time, a voice that seemed to have crawled out of a grave opened its mouth and said, ��Stop guessing randomly! Bai Chen, you go and take a look.��


    ��Yes.��


    Amidst the darkness, someone answered, turning into a streak of white shadow, disappearing.


    When Bai Chen��s figure landed at the Dragon Eye Cave, his pupils could not help constricting.


    ��This �� It��s actually like this! Interesting, really interesting! Looks like the Heavenspan World that has been peaceful for so long is finally having great waves stir again!�� Bai Chen��s voice was full of complicatedness.


    ��Fortunately, the seal��s damage isn��t big. Otherwise, if those second layer��s monsters rush out, it would be too much to bear.��


    As he said, Bai Chen kneaded incomparably profound seals in his hands and sent them into the void.


    The entire Dragon Eye Cave finally calmed down once again.


    The explosions were still going on, but the fiercest explosion was naturally that instant at the beginning.


    Now, the destructive power was already far from before.


    ��Many thanks for Senior taking action. Otherwise, this junior would have gotten into trouble.��


    In Bai Chen��s mind, a voice suddenly appeared, making his state of mind that found it hard to fluctuate for hundreds of millions of years have a trace of ripple.


    His brows furrowed, and he said, ��A puny little Empyrean, you can actually discover this emperor��s existence?��


    Bai Chen��s appearance was just like a speck of dust, being unable to cause any waves to this layer��s space at all.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually notice him.


    This shock was naturally by no means insignificant.


    Although the commotion that Ye Yuan caused was horrifying, what kind of eyesight did Bai Chen have? He saw through that Ye Yuan was merely breaking through rank seven with one glance. He was not even considered as an expert in Bai Chen��s eyes.


    This kind of strength, even if they scratched their heads bloody, they could forget about discovering his existence too.


    But Ye Yuan actually discovered it.


    ��Junior��s current state is a little special, everything in this Dragon Eye Cave is clear at a glance. Hence, I can discover Senior,�� Ye Yuan transmitted his voice.


    Bai Chen��s gaze glimmered slightly, also no idea what he was thinking about.


    ��Looks like a remarkable little fellow emerged in the Heavenspan World! Eh, didn��t expect that you have some connections to the dragon race,�� Bai Chen said in surprise.


    His strength was exceedingly formidable, just through this wisp of divine sense voice transmission, he detected the existence of Ye Yuan��s dragon soul.


    ��Junior��s mother is from the dragon race,�� Ye Yuan knew that it could not help from Bai Chen and said honestly.


    His current state was extremely mysterious, he could feel that this Bai Chen was unfathomable, virtually akin to a god.


    The strongest person that Ye Yuan had seen before was merely Ji Mo.


    But he had a feeling that Ji Mo was probably not even dregs in front of this white-clothed old man.


    Bai Chen nodded and said, ��So that��s how it is. I hope that you remember your identity. With your talent, you��re bound to take on a huge responsibility in the future!��


    Ye Yuan replied, ��Senior garrisoning here, your merits are the greatest. Junior understands what I should do in my heart.��


    Bai Chen nodded slightly and said, ��You break through well then. This emperor is leaving.��


    Finished talking, his figure directly dissipated into the world.

 Chapter 2147 - Decisive

    ��Old Bai, you wouldn��t be lying through your teeth, right? A mere True God Realm��s breakthrough can blow the third seal open?��


    When Bai Chen returned to the abyss, he recounted the things that he saw, immediately drawing the other powerhouses�� suspicion.


    A mere True God Realm expert breaking through to the Empyrean Realm, no matter how monstrous, it was also impossible to blow up the third seal!��


    One had to know that this third seal, even if it was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, they could forget about breaching it in the slightest too.


    In the darkness, Bai Chen could not be bothered to provide an explanation and said with a light smile, ��Heh, really an interesting kid! Not only did he blow open the seal, he actually even discovered my existence. Oh, right, Boss, that kid even has some connection to you! I see that this kid is pretty good, so I left behind some lucky chances to him on your behalf. Of course, if he falls into a wrong path in the future, you can borrow it to restrict him too.��


    ��Oh? Listening to you, it��s indeed an interesting little fellow. It��s too bad that we can��t abandon our posts. Otherwise, I��d really go and take a look at this kid. But listening to what you said, this boy is extraordinary. The Heavenspan World will likely be in an upheaval situation again.�� Amidst the gloomy and dark abyss, another voice came over.


    Bai Chen sighed slightly and said, ��It��s as the Doomsday Battle is right before our eyes. I didn��t expect that Heavenly Dao Samsara is finally going to start again.��


    After sighing, everyone fell silent. The abyss recovered tranquility once more.


    �� ��


    Inside Raindragon Stronghold, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were all present.


    The entrance of the Dragon Eye Cave was shaking intensely and actually started cracking apart.


    Everyone��s divine essence poured out wildly, joining hands to stabilize the seal.


    But a powerful strength burst out of the seal, making the faces of the group of Heavenly Emperors turn white.


    Seven to eight Heavenly Emperor joined hands before barely managing to maintain the seal from breaking.


    Long Chi��s complexion was ashen as he gritted his teeth and said, ��Damn it! Whe Dragon Eye Cave��s seal has never had a problem before. Why did it cause such a big commotion this time?��


    Dragon Lord��s face was also pale as she said, ��I��m afraid that a powerful abyss monster was born inside and it��s assaulting the seal? Xiaochun will be �� fine inside, right?��


    Long Chi smiled coldly and said, ��Like this, it��s good too, at least that boy is definitely dead! Hao-er, your spirit in heaven can rest in peace.��


    Long Zhi suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth and said, ��Dragon Lord, this commotion �� wouldn��t be caused by Xiaochun encountering some danger, right?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed.


    Clearly, this sort of possibility was very high.


    ��Humph! Indeed a misfortune star, not stopping even after entering the Dragon Eye Cave!�� Long Chi said with a cold snort.


    Dragon Lord��s pretty face turned slightly cold as she said in a cold voice, ��Long Chi! Don��t you forget Xiaochun��s identity! The Dragon Eye Cave was originally managed by you, but because of your negligence, you let Xiaochun fall into a dangerous situation. If this matter was reported upstairs, can you bear the consequences?��


    Long Chi��s face changed slightly, not daring to speak anymore.


    ��Mn? The undulations seem to be smaller!�� Suddenly, Long Zhi spoke up.


    Sure enough, the intense undulations coming from inside gradually became small, finally completely stabilizing.


    All of the Heavenly Emperors finally let out a sigh in relief.


    At this time, a din suddenly came from outside the stone tower.


    Long Chi was currently pissed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Who is making noise here? Don��t they know that this is a restricted area inside the stronghold?��


    As he said, his figure moved, disappearing on the spot.


    ��You all, let me go in! Let me go in!�� Lu-er attempted to charge into the stone tower but was blocked firmly by the guards.


    The Dragon Clan guard said in a solemn voice, ��If the few of you keep causing trouble, don��t blame us for not being courteous anymore!��


    The ones guarding the stone tower were all Empyrean powerhouses. Once they took action, Lu-er and the rest were naturally not a match.


    Lu-er had a sorrowful face as she gritted her teeth and said, ��I��m begging you guys, let me go in! Young Master didn��t come out for ten years! I��m going in to find him!��


    Actually, for these ten years, Lu-er spent each day very tormentedly.


    If not for Ye Yuan��s order, the agreement of ten years, she would have long charged into the Dragon Eye Cave.


    But along with the passing of time, the ten-year date got closer and closer. The hopes of Ye Yuan coming out became bleaker and bleaker, she finally could not wait anymore.


    It was just that the guard was cold as ice and did not bend the rules at all.


    ��What has us wanting to enter the Dragon Eye Cave got to do with you all? His Excellency isn��t coming out, then we��ll go in to find him!�� Ning Tianping said angrily.


    A figure appeared and said coolly, ��He already died inside, you all don��t need to go in anymore!��


    It was precisely Long Chi!


    Lu-er looked at Long Chi hatefully, wishing to swallow him alive.


    She knew that it was this person who sent Young Master into the hopeless land, Dragon Eye Cave.


    ��You��re spurting nonsense! It��s impossible for Young Master to die!�� Lu-er screamed.


    ��Right, His Excellency is especially gifted; a peerless talent. He absolutely won��t be stumped by a puny little Dragon Eye Cave!�� Ning Tianping also said with an indignant and resentful face.


    Seeing the despaired looks of Lu-er and the rest, Long Chi was full of delight in his heart.


    What he wanted was precisely such a result.


    ��Heh heh, puny little Dragon Eye Cave? You guys have stayed here for ten years and probably haven��t truly understood what kind of place the Dragon Eye Cave is! That place seals countless abyss monsters. Each abyss monster is several times stronger than same rank humans. In there, what fills the air isn��t spiritual energy but devilish energy. One cannot cultivate inside the Dragon Eye Cave. Replenishment is extremely difficult. The divine essence expended will frequently not have enough time to be replenished and there will be abyss monsters rushing over again. How long do you all feel that he can live under this kind of environment? Honestly telling you guys, there was once a Heavenly Emperor who was relegated into the Dragon Eye Cave, and he never came out again!��


    Long Chi said a lot in one breath, saying the brutality of the Dragon Eye Cave in its entirety.


    The more they listened, the heavier the mood of Lu-er and the rest.


    In the end, it was close to despairing.


    They knew that Ye Yuan was formidable. But no matter how impressive the person, under this kind of environment, there would also come a time where their strength would be depleted.


    Then, could Ye Yuan last ten years?


    ��You �� You��re talking nonsense! If not for you, Young Master also wouldn��t have entered the Dragon Eye Cave too! I �� I��ll fight it out with you!��


    Lu-er was indignant and leaped up, it was as if space was frozen.


    The others all had sorrowful and indignant faces. Inclusive of Loneswan, all of them rushed over toward Long Chi.


    But, what kind of existence was Long Chi?


    This level of attack was completely too weak to stand the competition in front of him.


    ��Snort!��


    Long Chi did not move and just gave a cold snort. It was akin to a clap of thunder, striking everyone��s hearts.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    �� ��


    The few people spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood at the same time, figures flying out backward.


    In front of a Heavenly Emperor, Empyreans were ants, let alone that they were just True God Realm?


    ��Overestimating your own ability! If not for that kid forcing this emperor to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, you all would already be dead people now!�� Long Chi said with a cold snort.


    Long Chi had sullen anger on his face, but he was incomparably delighted in his heart.


    Killing Lu-er they all was merely the effort of lifting a hand. They were merely ants to him.


    But only seeing these people��s extremely grievous appearances, would he be in a great mood.


    Lu-er clenched her teeth hard, her gaze icy-cold.


    ��Since that��s the case, then I��ll force you to act and kill me! Today, I��m going to perish together with you and avenge Young Master!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Lu-er rushed over toward Long Chi once more like a moth flying into the fire.


    ��Right, we��ll fight it out with you! Since you don��t dare to kill us, then we��ll force you to kill us!�� Ning Tianping gave a cold cry and also rushed over.

 Chapter 2148 - First Blossom of Chaos!

    Inside the Dragon Eye Cave, the faces of Long Xiaochun and the rest revealed the joy of having survived a disaster.


    The explosion was too violent, Long Xiaochun crushed quite a few jade slips in a row and teleported to the furthest spatial node before barely managing to avoid the power of the explosion.


    Even so, each and every one of them was also made dusty and dirty in appearance, seemingly very ragged.


    ��L-Lord Xiaochun, the commotion that Lord Ye caused is a little too big, right?�� Long Xun said with lingering fear in his heart.


    ��Too terrifying! Even if a Heavenly Emperor is in the center of the explosion, they would probably also die without any corpse left, right? Lord Ye wouldn��t �� He wouldn��t have ���� Long Zhaotian��s complexion turned white as he said.


    ��Shut up!��


    Long Xiaochun directly interrupted Long Zhaotian��s follow-up words and said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan must still be alive!��


    The others were silent like cicadas in winter, but reason told them that Ye Yuan��s hopes of survival were virtually none.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was in the center of the explosion. Such a horrifying explosion, how could it be possible to survive?


    ��The explosion has subsided. Let��s go over and take a look!�� Long Xiaochun had a rarely-seen serious expression as she said.


    �� ��


    ��This is my own world?��


    Amidst the region of chaos, Ye Yuan��s consciousness overlooked the world, his heart surging.


    All the way until today, he finally created a world that belonged to him.


    This stretch of chaos was boundless and gray, without the slightest signs of life. Furthermore, it was even expanded outwards at an extremely fast speed, becoming larger and larger.


    ��My world is only born a full three major realms later than others. Looking at this, it seems to be somewhat different from the rest!�� Ye Yuan looked at this stretch of chaos as he muttered.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not go through Divine Lord Realm before, having spent so long in the Heavenspan World, the powerhouses that he had seen before were countless and he was not foreign to hewing open a world.


    When martial artists reached Divine Lord Realm, they needed to have a point singularity of the Heavenspan World as a foundation, expanding and developing, creating their own world.


    Putting it bluntly, this Heavenspan World had countless powerhouses that created countless small worlds, but they were all based on the Heavenspan World and were an extension of the Heavenspan World.


    Including East Suppression Pseudo World this kind of powerful pseudo worlds, it was also a part of the Heavenspan World in the end.


    But Ye Yuan��s method of breaking through was totally different.


    His world was entirely created by himself!


    No point singularity, no time, and also no space.


    This stretch of chaos was a brand new world!


    When chaos blossomed initially, heaven and earth were not divided.


    Everything was a wilderness awaiting development; a blank piece of paper.


    How this world would develop in the future completely depended on him.


    This kind of control was not restricted by the Heavenspan World!


    Ye Yuan could feel that this world seemed to be two parallel worlds from the Heavenspan World, neither interfering with the other.


    And it was not the same as the other small worlds, being an extension of the Heavenspan World.


    Furthermore, the chaos spiritual energy of Ye Yuan��s world was incomparably thick. It was even thousands, tens of thousands of times thicker than the Heavenspan World��s spiritual energy!


    Even if there was thinning in the future, it could also reach the Heavenspan World��s level.


    Other small worlds, such as the Immortal Grove World, the spiritual energy inside was drastically diluted, the amount extremely low.


    Hence, it was even harder than trying to ascend to the heavens for martial artists to want to break through the shackles and arrive at the Heavenspan World.


    Even a colossal pseudo world like the East Suppression Pseudo World was a shade inferior when compared to the Heavenspan World too.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was deep as he slowly said, ��I seem to �� have understood something! Looks like the path that I��m taking is a true path that leads to the highest heaven! They are unable to fuse essence, energy, and spirit three paths because their path is fundamentally wrong! Their path relies on the Heavenspan World. So how can they break the shackles of the Heavenspan World? Even if it��s the Dao Ancestors, they are merely a powerful life-form in this Heavenspan World too, never able to transcend! But for me to be able to walk to this step, it��s still all thanks to the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!��


    Cultivating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon until today, experiencing countless hardships, Ye Yuan finally created his own world.


    Even though this world was still very small, being not even as large as a Divine Lord Realm��s small world, Ye Yuan��s world was a thousand times, ten thousand times stronger than Heavenly Emperor Realms in terms of quality.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s world had limitless possibilities!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s thoughts stirred. A figure appeared in Ye Yuan��s world, it was precisely Dustless!


    When Dustless saw this world that was merely a thousand feet in radius, he was shocked until his eyes went wide and he was tongue-tied.


    ��This �� This is your world? T-Too inconceivable!�� Dustless said with a sigh of admiration.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Before breaking through the realm, I was also unable to imagine that my world would actually be like this!��


    Dustless muttered, ��Wrong! Turns out that the world was wrong! Divine Lord hewing open a world, Empyrean controlling a world, Heavenly Emperor dominating the world, turns out that �� it was all wrong! Ye Yuan, your path is the true great path that leads to the highest heaven!��


    Dustless watched Ye Yuan walked over step by step, carrying confusion, carrying uncertainty, carrying limitless hardships!


    But now, the fact finally proved that the path Ye Yuan took was correct!


    This world was a world that Dustless had never seen before.


    Just one glance and he saw through the extraordinary aspects of this world.


    ��Being able to walk until this step today is still all thanks to Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove! If not for him, if not for the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, I can only fade into the crowd as well.�� Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    But Dustless shook his head and said, ��That��s not it! It��s foreordained by heaven! Do you still remember the words that Immortal Grove said before dying?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Immortal Grove had once said before dying that the meaning of his existence was Ye Yuan��s birth!


    ��The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s masters isn��t just you alone! But regardless of whether it was Immortal Grove or Fang Tian, they both did not take this step. Immortal Grove had outstanding talent and comprehended Dao in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain for several million years and is also less than a fraction of you! It was not that he can��t make it, but it was that �� you��re too strong! You��re the person that Heavenly Dao chose!�� Dustless said with somewhat of an upsurge of emotion.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��A heart that yearns for Dao. I��ve never changed before. But my greatest wish right now is still being able to revive Lingxue!��


    Dustless said, ��Silly child, you��ve already done sufficiently well! 2000 years of comprehending Dao, hewing open a new world, who could do it? However, this new realm of yours isn��t Heavenly Empyrean. So how should it be called?��


    Ye Yuan��s path was a brand new path, the realm was naturally different.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Now that the chaos has just bloomed, call it Chaos Realm then!��


    Feeling the berserk spiritual energy amidst the chaos, Dustless could not help laughing as he said, ��Chaos Realm, rather fitting! But after today, the spiritual energy that your cultivation requires will be horrifying!��


    Ye Yuan also smiled bitterly and said, ��This is also something that can��t be helped. If not for leaving Lu-er the ten-year agreement, I really can��t bear to leave this place!��


    From entering the Dragon Eye Cave until now, it had been 10 years.


    Ye Yuan was scared that Lu-er they all were worried, so that was why he chose to break through at this juncture.


    He knew that Lu-er probably had a rough time these ten years.


    Rather, his realm advanced by leaps and bounds these ten years, directly breaking through to Chaos Realm from Seventh Firmament Origin Pill Realm!


    Towards this great gift that Long Chi gave him, Ye Yuan really could not quite bear to leave!


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s thoughts stirred, and he said with a smile, ��Mn? The nirvanic tribulation is also transcended already, my fleshy body also broke through to rank seven!��

 Chapter 2149 - Grandaunt

    Feeling the explosive power coming from his body, Ye Yuan was extremely satisfied with this physical body.


    The tribulation of rank seven nirvanic tribulation was the nightmare of body cultivators.


    Without an indomitable strong will, there was completely no way to transcend.


    But to Ye Yuan, this was precisely his forte.


    This process was incomparably painful. But pulling through, sweetness would come after the bitterness.


    With a perfect seventh transformation golden body, one��s vital energy was exuberant like the noonday sun shining high above.


    Ye Yuan felt that even if he did not utilize divine essence now, he could blow up an Empyrean level abyss monster with one punch.


    ��Heh heh, breaking through this time is really a metamorphosis! Essence, energy, and spirit three paths are akin to a nirvanic rebirth, causing my strength to skyrocket!�� Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    ��Essence, energy, and spirit fusing, it��s truly incomparably terrifying! It��s just too bad that apart from you, no one in this Heavenspan World can do it at all!�� Dustless also marveled with admiration.


    Ye Yuan nodded with a slight smile. Suddenly, he made a slight sound of surprise. A dragon-shaped mark appeared between Ye Yuan��s brows.


    ��Looks like �� that senior was indeed unfathomable, to actually leave behind this mark on my body unknowingly! However �� this mark seems to be like a seed, containing tremendous power inside, waiting for me to develop.��


    Feeling this imprint, Ye Yuan immediately connected it to Bai Chen.


    To be able to plant a mark on his body unknowingly, apart from that Bai Chen, who else could there be?��


    Currently, he still could not feel danger from this imprint, so he simply allowed it to take its natural course.


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    ��Lord Ye!��


    �� ��


    Suddenly, a series of surprised yells came from afar. It was precisely Long Xiaochun they all who rushed over.


    ��I knew that you��d be fine!��


    Long Xiaochun had a look of pleasant surprise. Suddenly, her face changed and she said in surprise, ��You �� You broke through?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Huhu, fusing essence, energy, and spirit three paths, I also didn��t expect that the nirvanic tribulation would suddenly arrive. Originally, the tarnished black devil crystals were not enough to use. Who knew that those Empyrean Realm abyss monsters actually delivered themselves to the doorstep, resolving my imminent problem.��


    When everyone heard, they could not help being speechless.


    To be able to treat Empyrean level abyss monsters as preys, Lord Ye was also one of a kind.


    A hint of cunningness suddenly flashed across in Long Xiaochun��s eyes and she suddenly threw a punch out.


    A horrifying power made the space give off cracking sounds.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and also threw a punch out.


    Bang!


    Long Xiaochun��s figure flew out backward and retreated several hundred feet in a row before barely managing to stabilize her figure.


    While Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.


    Seeing this scene, Big Brother Xun and the rest all had shocked faces.


    They all knew that Long Xiaochun was an abnormally strong girl. Her pair of fists could practically have a showdown with First Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters.


    But this freakishly strong girl actually lost to Ye Yuan in one punch!


    Furthermore, looking at the appearance, Ye Yuan did not use full strength at all.


    Ye Yuan just broke through to Empyrean Realm and did not even have time to consolidate his realm yet, and his strength was actually so strong already!


    ��How impressive! Indeed well-deserving of being the perfect seventh transformation golden body! If you gave it your all, it��s likely that your strength already doesn��t lose to Second Firmament Empyreans!�� Long Xiaochun marveled.


    Ye Yuan said casually, ��If it��s dealing with a Second Firmament Empyrean, it shouldn��t be anything difficult.��


    This was the powerful aspect of the perfect seventh transformation!


    Breaking through to rank seven, it would be an explosive increase in strength.


    Coupled with a powerful cultivation method and martial technique, jumping realms to battle in Empyrean Realm would also be a cinch!


    ��Freak!�� Long Xiaochun could not help rolling her eyes.


    She was absolutely synonymous with genius in the Dragon Clan.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, she really could not find any sense of superiority at all.


    This guy was too freakish!


    Ye Yuan sized Long Xiaochun up, a peculiar look on his face.


    Long Xiaochun was looked at by Ye Yuan until all her hair stood on end and she said, ��W-What are you doing, looking at me like that.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, ��I broke through to rank seven, my Atavism Dragon Soul has already completely awakened.��


    Long Xiaochun said doubtfully, ��So what?��


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��It turns out that the Immortal Grove World��s dragon ancestor was actually your mother��s big brother ����


    The moment this came out, Long Xiaochun��s expression also became odd.


    Suddenly, Long Xiaochun finally could not contain it anymore and burst out laughing.


    ��Hehehe �� Come, come, come! Call me grandaunt! Hahahaha �� I��m dying of laughter, hahahaha ����


    Long Xiaochun laughed herself into fits, convulsing heavily, virtually almost not able to breathe.


    By the side, Long Xun and the rest were also holding in their laughter at the beginning.


    In the end, they finally could not hold it in and collectively burst into laughter.


    They never would have thought that there was actually still this layer of relationship between Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun.


    Ye Yuan was speechless. He had treated Long Xiaochun as a little sister all along.


    But after he awakened the Atavism Dragon Soul, some of the Immortal Grove World��s dragon ancestor��s memories also appeared in his head.


    It turned out that the dragon ancestor and Raindragon Stronghold��s dragon lord were actually brother and sister.


    This also explained why he felt very close when he saw Long Xiaochun.


    Several million years also, the dragon ancestor felt self-assured for being a genius and wanted to follow his progenitor��s footsteps, and he barged into the Dragon Eye Cave alone.


    Who could have thought that he fell into a hopeless situation inside the Dragon Eye Cave that was plagued with dangers in the end?


    Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove accidentally stumbled into the Dragon Eye Cave from a spatial rift and saved the dragon ancestor, Long Qin, as well as the four great divine beasts�� progenitors.


    These few mighty divine beasts followed Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove in order to repay the life-saving grace.


    And the four great progenitors also propagated in the Immortal Grove World.


    Who could have thought that later, Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was killed, the four great progenitors�� whereabouts also became unknown.


    But in the dragon ancestor��s memories, he had a younger sister called Long Xiyue, who was precisely the current Raindragon Stronghold��s Dragon Lord.


    This way, Ye Yuan was actually many times junior relative to Long Xiaochun.


    This label ��grandaunt�� was ought to be called out.


    But to make Ye Yuan call her this, it was too difficult.


    With this, the seniority was off.


    ��Ye Yuan, quickly call, quickly call! Otherwise, Grandaunt will be unhappy. Call and there will be a reward! Hehehe ���� Long Xiaochun ridiculed.


    Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes. With this, he would never be able to lift his head in front of Long Xiaochun.


    Of course, making him call Long Xiaochun grandaunt, that was impossible.


    ��Alright, stop messing around! It��s getting late, we should go out!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Sure enough, one sentence immediately attracted everyone��s attention.


    ��Your Excellency, is this real? You can really bring us out?�� Long Xun said in pleasant surprise.


    The others also had looks of anticipation. This kind of place was simply akin to hell to them.


    Ye Yuan secretly let out a sigh of relief and said coolly, ��Of course! My spatial law is already comprehended to the sixth firmament. What does looking for a mere spatial rift count for? Moreover, there are also coordinates of a spatial rift in my inheritance memory.��


    Before breaking through to the Chaos Realm, it would really still be somewhat troublesome for Ye Yuan to look for a spatial rift.


    But during the explosive, Ye Yuan��s consciousness entered a very profound and mysterious realm and knew this third layer seal like the back of his hand.


    The spatial rift coordinates that he currently grasped were no less than five.


    Long Xiaochun was also distracted by Ye Yuan and hurriedly said, ��Then still waiting for what? Hurry up and go! This damn place, I don��t wish to stay for a second longer!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, ��Follow me then.��

 Chapter 2150 - What a Great Fortuitous Encounter!

    Above the void, several figures were akin to moths flying into the fire, pouncing over toward the powerful existence.


    Long Chi had an impatient look on his face, clearly very annoyed.


    The restriction of Heavenly Dao Oaths on Martial Dao powerhouses was extremely great. Lu-er and the rest were currently unleashing suicide attacks against him. It would naturally be fatal to him.


    At this time, if other people made a move to kill Lu-er and the others, it would be the same as him violating the oath, and he would likewise be erased by Heavenly Dao.


    Being restricted by the Heavenly Dao Oath, he did not dare to actually deal a killing blow either, being annoyed badly by Lu-er and the rest.


    At this time, Loneswan, Ning Tianping, Yang Fei-er, and Loneswan, were covered in blood all over, already having sustained extremely heavy injuries.


    A casual wave of Long Chi��s hands was simply a destructive blow to them.


    However, this was precisely what they desired!


    Use the Heavenly Dao Oath to kill him!


    Hence, even if their injuries were extremely severe, they also dragged their weary bodies and unleashed suicide attacks.


    ��Humph! A bunch of ants, do you really think that this Emperor can��t do anything to you?��


    Long Chi grabbed with one hand, an unrivaled domain force directly imprisoned everyone.


    Even Loneswan, this Empyrean, was unable to move a muscle too.


    The might of a Heavenly Emperor was displayed in its entirety!


    Ning Tianping��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger and he roared furiously, ��F*cking Long Chi! If you have the capabilities, kill this father of yours! Otherwise, I will tear you to shreds one day!��


    Long Chi had a disdainful look as he said, ��Wildly arrogant and ignorant! The more you cultivate, the more you��ll understand the disparity between True Gods and Heavenly Emperor! It��s impossible for you to be this Emperor��s match your whole life!��


    ��Long Chi, you despicable villain! There will come one day when I��ll settle this score with you!�� Lu-er yelled at the top of her voice.


    The current Lu-er��s eyes were full of hatred.


    She secretly swore to definitely cultivate properly after today, to avenge Young Master.


    Long Chi��s brows furrowed slightly, his heart somewhat rippling.


    He thought nothing of the others, but Lu-er was a little special.


    With his vision, he could naturally perceive Lu-er��s talent.


    Although the realm of Heavenly Emperor was extremely difficult, Lu-er had hopes of breaking through.


    If allowed to take its own course, this lass might be a great enemy in the future.


    ��Damn it! That brat dug a pit for me! Really troublesome! I didn��t expect that this Emperor was clever for a lifetime, but I��m actually scammed by a dead person in the end!��


    Only at this time did Long Chi come to realize the truth. When Ye Yuan forced him to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, he actually secretly dug a pit.


    He could not kill Lu-er they all, but Lu-er could kill him!


    Right now, Lu-er they all were naturally ants in Long Chi��s eyes.


    But, ten thousand years later, 100 thousand years later, a million years later?


    With Lu-er��s talent, breaking through to be a Heavenly Emperor might also not be impossible.


    If there was really that day, it would be troublesome.


    Long Chi felt gloomy in his heart, wishing to dig Ye Yuan out of his grave and pummel brutally.


    ��Humph! Do you think that this Emperor can��t do anything to you like this? Right now, this Emperor will seal your divine sea and imprison you forever in Raindragon Stronghold! I want to see how you guys still plan to take revenge!�� Long Chi said with a cold smile.


    Everyone��s faces changed drastically, clearly not expecting that this guy was so vicious.


    Seeing the expressions of Lu-er and the others, Long Chi had a smug look as he said, ��Heh heh, weren��t you all very cocky just now? Lift your heads and take a look at this blue sky! This will be the last time that you��ll be seeing it!��


    Finished talking, Long Chi��s finger lightly tapped. A powerful force tore through the air and was about to seal Lu-er��s divine sea.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred!


    Layers of ripples emerged in the air, Lu-er��s figure disappeared bizarrely.


    Long Chi��s pupils constricted and he said in a thunderous rage, ��Who is it? Get out for this Emperor!��


    The void rippled, a figure emerged. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��Do you still want face or not, old dog?�� Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Chi, full of killing intent.


    ��Your Excellency!��


    ��Master!��


    When Ning Tianping and the rest saw Ye Yuan, they could not help being pleasantly surprised.


    While on the other side, Long Chi��s eyeballs were almost popping out.


    He had an expression like he had seen a ghost as he said in shock, ��Ye Yuan! You �� You came out of the Dragon Eye Cave? This �� This isn��t possible!��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, ��What��s impossible about it? Am I not standing perfectly well in front of you?��


    In Ye Yuan��s embrace was the extremely weak Lu-er. But currently, she had a happy look.


    Originally, hearing Long Chi��s description of the Dragon Eye Cave, Lu-er already completely lost all hope.


    She already made the resolve to take revenge for Ye Yuan.


    But in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually appeared in front of her alive and well. There was really nothing more blissful than this.


    ��Young Master, it��s really great that you��re fine!�� Lu-er hugged Ye Yuan tightly as she said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan��s face revealed a hint of a smile and said, ��Silly girl, so desperate for what? Didn��t Young Master promise you that I��ll definitely return within ten years?��


    Lu-er nodded her head hard, a blissful look on her face.


    Long Chi had not recovered from his shock yet when suddenly, his pupils shrunk again.


    ��You �� You broke through to the Empyrean Realm? This �� This is impossible! A short ten years, you broke through to be an Empyrean in a place like the Dragon Eye Cave?��


    The aura exuding from Ye Yuan��s body clearly already surpassed True God Realm, reaching the level of Empyrean Realm.


    In fact, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body was even more than a magnitude stronger than ordinary First Firmament Empyreans.


    A short ten years, going from Seventh Firmament True God to First Firmament Empyrean, Long Chi doubted whether he saw wrongly or not.


    Furthermore, the current Ye Yuan actually gave him a feeling of absolute secrecy, as if it was a dense fog in front of him.


    Logically speaking, when a Heavenly Emperor looked at an Empyrean, that was seeing through at one glance. Why would this kind of illogical feeling appear?


    The commotion here already attracted quite a few people to surround and watch.


    Feeling the aura on Ye Yuan��s body, the Dragon Clan��s powerhouses burst into an uproar all at once.


    ��Wasn��t it said that one can��t cultivate in the Dragon Eye Cave, and that it��s a hopeless land? How ��How did he cultivate?��


    ��This is too fake! Forget about the Dragon Eye Cave! Even on the Heavenspan Mountain, it��s also impossible to break through to the Empyrean Realm from Seventh Firmament True God in ten years too!��


    ��Just what kind of freak is this fellow? Not only did he break through to be an Empyrean, he even came out of the Dragon Eye Cave!��


    �� ��


    The things that happened to Ye Yuan were seriously too illogical, making them incredibly shocked.


    At this time, the other Raindragon Stronghold heavenly emperors also arrived one after another. Seeing the ��Empyrean Realm�� Ye Yuan, each and every one of them was shocked until their jaws hit the ground.


    Wasn��t the Dragon Eye Cave a hopeless land?


    Wasn��t it without chances of returning?


    Wasn��t one unable to cultivate?


    But what was with this scene before their eyes?


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Speaking of which, really have to thank you for giving me a lucky chance! If not for you forcing me into the Dragon Eye Cave, it would really not be that easy for me to break through to be an Empyrean!��


    Long Chi opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but could not speak at all.


    At this very moment, he wished to give himself two tight slaps.


    Although he did not know what Ye Yuan experienced inside the Dragon Eye Cave, the strength of his Empyrean Realm was real.


    Giving good fortune, this sort of thing, was simply a divine stroke by the gods.


    He clearly wanted to doom Ye Yuan. In the end, after ten years, Ye Yuan returned domineeringly, becoming an Empyrean!


    Such a blessed lad!

 Chapter 2151 - : Ten Thousand Times, oh, Ten Thousand Times!

    Long Chi��s complexion alternated between green and white, finally turning into embarrassment from anger that filled his chest.


    ��So what if you��re an Empyrean? In front of this Emperor, Empyreans are ants! If this Emperor wants to suppress them, what can you do to me!��


    Long Chi gave an angry roar. With his Heavenly Emperor pressure suddenly releasing, he was about to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    ��Stop!�� Dragon Lord cried out, directly making a move to stop Long Chi.


    Long Chi��s face fell and he said angrily, ��What��s the meaning of this, Dragon Lord? This boy can��t be killed, but could it be that the others can��t be suppressed either? As Raindragon Stronghold��s protector elder, could it be that this Emperor doesn��t even have this bit of authority?��


    Dragon Lord��s two eyes narrowed, and she said in a cold voice, ��Long Chi, be more clear-minded! You open your eyes and take a look at his glabella!��


    Long Chi was taken aback when he heard that and looked over toward Ye Yuan once more.


    With this careful look, his pupils could not help constricting!


    ��Heavenly Dragon Mark!�� Long Chi cried out in surprise.


    He was being mocked by Ye Yuan earlier and under his rage, he did not detect the mark at Ye Yuan��s glabella.


    Upon looking at this time, he could not help breaking out in cold sweat.


    Ye Yuan was originally planning on flashing his identity and requesting Dragon Lord to take action. He did not expect that Long Chi was actually very apprehensive of the mark on his glabella.


    ��That��s right, it��s precisely the Heavenly Dragon Mark! Seeing the Heavenly Dragon Mark is akin to seeing the ancestor! If you keep on pestering endlessly, even I can��t protect you too!�� Dragon Lord said in a solemn voice.


    Long Chi��s face was like a chameleon��s, changing again and again.


    This fellow made a trip into the Dragon Eye Cave. Not only did he break through to Empyrean Realm, he actually even obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark!


    Long Chi could not help feeling depressed. What on earth had he done!


    Wasn��t it said that the Dragon Eye Cave was a hopeless land? Why was it that this guy seemed to have been enlightened after going in, swapping a fowling piece for a big gun in ten years?


    Long Chi��s current mood was already unable to use words to describe.


    Finally, Long Chi gritted his teeth and gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan, and said, ��Long Chi pays respect to Son of the Heavenly Dragon!��


    Ye Yuan was very surprised. He also did not expect that this mark was actually so useful.


    The other Heavenly Emperors as well as Empyreans bowed down one after another.


    ��We pay respects to the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!��


    Ye Yuan looked towards the Dragon Lord and asked, ��What does this Heavenly Dragon Mark represent?��


    Dragon Lord said in surprise, ��You don��t know?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head.


    Dragon Lord was speechless and explained: ��The Heavenly Dragon Mark is the dragon race��s supreme existence, a recognition given to a junior, representing that he has hopes of becoming a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor! This is also a symbol of identity in the Dragon Clan, being called the Son of the Heavenly Dragon! The position of Son of the Heavenly Dragon is equivalent to a heaven stronghold��s dragon lord. Even if a Heavenly Emperor sees, they would have to pay respects too!��


    Ye Yuan was also struck dumb when he heard. This tiny mark actually represented such a lofty status.


    But very soon, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and he said, ��Then �� do I have the authority to impose sanctions on him?��


    While talking, Ye Yuan pointed at Long Chi with his finger.


    Long Chi��s expression turned stiff, his face becoming extremely ugly.


    A hint of delight also flashed across Dragon Lord��s eyes, and she said with a nod, ��That��s of course! Long Chi, why haven��t you made apologies and asked for punishment from the Son of the Heavenly Dragon?��


    Long Chi was exasperated in his heart!


    At this very moment, he finally experienced what was called shooting oneself in the foot.


    He cracked himself up to be clever, forcing Ye Yuan into the Dragon Eye Cave.


    In the end, Ye Yuan came out, becoming the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!


    Son of the Heavenly Dragon, the status was equivalent to a heaven stronghold��s dragon lord; how noble was the status?


    Offending the Son of the Heavenly Dragon was equivalent to offending the heaven stronghold��s dragon lord.


    Even if he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he could not bear this charge either!


    ��Long Chi �� Long Chi unintentionally offended the Son of the Heavenly Dragon. Long Chi hopes that the Son of the Heavenly Dragon can forgive!�� Having no choice, Long Chi could only lower his head.


    He discovered with his peripherals that a hint of a strange smile was currently flashing across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, and his heart could not help thumping.


    What did this boy want to do?


    Humph! Whatever you want to do, I, Long Chi, am an exalted Heavenly Emperor, what can you do to me?


    Making apologies to you is already making the greatest concession!


    ��Forgiveness, that��s impossible. Since you offended me, you naturally have to be punished!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Chi pulled a long face and said, ��Ye Yuan, don��t reach for a yard after taking an inch!��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, ��Reaching for a yard after taking an inch? Heh, you should rejoice that I��m only Empyrean Realm. If I��m Heavenly Emperor Realm right now, just based on you making a move against Lu-er just now, I��d have long smacked you to death with one slap! You should be very clear why Long Hao was smacked to death by me!��


    Not mentioning Long Hao was still fine, upon mentioning Long Hao, Long Chi gnashed his teeth in hatred even more.


    This guy killed Long Hao. Now, he even had to lower his head to him. It was truly unprecedented humiliation!


    Dragon Lord Long Xiyue said coolly, ��Long Chi, you��re very clear about the crime of offending the Son of the Heavenly Dragon. In Raindragon Stronghold, things are still okay. If it��s reported up, the matter probably won��t be so easy to clean up. Furthermore, don��t you forget, he��s Second Sage! Son of the Heavenly Dragon plus Second Sage, huhu ����


    Long Xiyue did not carry on saying, Long Chi should understand her meaning.


    Second Sage was indeed nothing in the Dragon Clan. But Second Sage plus Son of the Heavenly Dragon, that was totally different.


    The Priest Temple was a titan of the demon race to begin with. Their strength was not much weaker than the Dragon Clan.


    These two titles added together, it was equivalent to two great mountains!


    Even if Long Chi was a Heavenly Emperor, his outcome would be very miserable too.


    Long Chi sucked in a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, ��Ye Yuan, don��t go too overboard! Forcing a Heavenly Emperor into a life-and-death struggle, you know the consequences!��


    Now that it came to this, Long Chi had no choice but to lower his head too, accepting Ye Yuan��s punishment. Even though he was a thousand times unwilling.


    But if this matter were to blow all the way up to the top, the consequences would still be too much for him to bear.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said coolly, ��Relax, I��ve always repay evil with good. I won��t make things difficult for you.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s grinning appearance, a bad premonition flashed across in everyone��s hearts.


    While Long Xiyu had a curious look. She also really wanted to see what Ye Yuan was going to do.


    ��You go to the top of the stone tower and yell ten thousand times, ��Long Chi is a pig!�� this phrase. Mn, need to shout louder. Let the entire stronghold hear,�� Ye Yuan said with a beam.


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces revealed strange looks.


    Making a Heavenly Emperor do this sort of thing, to think that this guy could think of it.


    Dragon Lord nearly failed to hold it in and spurted out, hurriedly covering her mouth and laughing.


    Long Chi��s face changed and he roared angrily, ��Brat, you �� you��re bullying people too far!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Bullying people too far? Huhu! This matter was caused by Long Hao. Who��s right and who��s wrong, don��t you have any idea in your heart? When you coerced me to enter the Dragon Eye Cave with Lu-er their lives, why didn��t you say bullying people too far? When you made a move to deal with Lu-er, why didn��t you say bullying people too far? Now, just making you yell a bit, you��re saying that I��m bullying people too far? Not doing? Also can, I, a mere Empyrean, have no qualifications to make a Heavenly Emperor do anything. But there will always be someone who will make you do a little something.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.


    ��Hold on!�� Long Chi��s face changed, stopping Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan stopped his figure and said coolly, ��Ten thousand times, not a single time less!��


    Long Chi nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. He had not spoken yet and this boy already blocked off his words.

 Chapter 2152 - Long Chi is a Pig!

    ��Long Chi is a pig!��


    ��Long Chi is a pig!��


    ��Long Chi is a pig!��


    �� ��


    Over and over again, a loud and clear voice reverberated throughout Raindragon Stronghold. Everyone could hear it clearly.


    Long Chi was very domineering in the Raindragon Stronghold, virtually rendering Long Xiyue to a mere figurehead.


    No one dared to challenge his prestige at all.


    Long Hao was also so arrogant under his wing.


    But today, Protector Elder Long Chi actually did such a thing. It was truly embarrassing.


    The dragons in the stronghold all revealed strange looks, but they also did not dare to show it too much, holding it in badly.


    How keen was the perception of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses? They were all afraid of Elder Long Chi settling the scores afterward.


    ��This scene is really unimaginably beautiful! I never imagined in this lifetime that someone could actually make Elder Long Chi do this kind of thing. But today, it actually happened.��


    ��This Ye Yuan is really incredible! Entering the Dragon Eye Cave, not only did he come out alive, he broke through to the Empyrean Realm and even obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark, becoming a Son of the Heavenly Dragon!��


    ��In the Raindragon Stronghold, Elder Long Chi virtually covers the sky with one hand. Ye Yuan doing so sweeps his face clear. Elder Long Chi definitely won��t let him off.��


    ��Forget it. With the identity of Son of the Heavenly Dragon, Ye Yuan is equivalent to having obtained a death-exemption golden token. What can Elder Long Chi do to him?��


    �� ��


    The group of dragons discussed softly. Clearly, the impact that this scene brought to them was too intense.


    A supreme Heavenly Emperor powerhouse actually said that he was a pig in front of everyone and even had to say it ten thousand times.


    A dragon, being a pig.


    This scene was truly incomparably bizarre.


    At the top of the stone tower, Long Chi��s gaze never left Ye Yuan.


    If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have long died ten thousand times.


    It was just a shame that Long Chi was also clear in his heart that he really could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Long Xiyue was very delighted in her heart. These few years, she had been suppressed by Long Chi all along. Ye Yuan��s way of doing things today really got a brutal payback on her behalf.


    Long Xiyue arrived in front of Ye Yuan and asked with a look of anticipation, ��Ye Yuan, that �� You came out of the Dragon Eye Cave. Did you ����


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Long Xiaochun came out together with me. They are at the back and will arrive very quickly.��


    Just as he was talking, several dozen figures appeared on the horizon. The one in the lead was lovely and adorable, a pair of horns growing on top of her head. It was precisely Long Xiaochun.


    ��Mother!�� Long Xiaochun yelled.


    Long Xiyue had a look of agitation on her face. But very soon, her expression turned cold, and she said in a solemn voice, ��You still know to come back? After going back, face the wall for a hundred years. Not breaking through to Second Firmament Empyrean, you��re not allowed to come out!��


    Long Xiaochun stuck her tongue out and said wittily: ��Mother, don��t get angry first! Eh, isn��t that Long Chi? Long Chi �� is a pig! Hahahaha �� Did this old fellow��s age get to his head? To actually scold himself?��


    Long Xiaochun was just thinking of saying something when she was drawn by Long Chi��s voice.


    Long Chi��s voice was seriously too loud, even if Long Xiaochun did not want to hear, she also could not.


    She did not react at first. But upon thinking carefully, wasn��t it Long Chi himself?


    Why was this guy scolding himself?


    Long Chi clearly heard Long Xiaochun��s unbridled laughter, his face black until it was practically turning purple.


    The others had strange expressions and were even discussing softly. But no one dared to laugh in a flagrant manner.


    But Long Xiaochun did not have the slightest scruple at all, she laughed very happily.


    Very happily!


    While angry was angry, Long Chi was also very surprised in his heart. Why did Long Xiaochun come out too?


    When did the Dragon Eye Cave become so easy to come out?


    ��Hahaha �� is this old man an idiot or not? To actually scold himself!�� By the side, Long Xun laughed loudly and said.


    ��Seeing this old man, Big Brother Tian, I, immediately have the confidence! Even this kind of idiot can cultivate to be a Heavenly Emperor. Big Brother Tian, I, can definitely cultivate to that level!�� Long Zhaotian nodded his head solemnly, saying it very seriously.


    ��Heh, Big Brother Xun, I, am stronger than you, I can naturally cultivate to Heavenly Emperor Realm even more!�� Long Xun said in disdain.


    ��Look at yourself, you��re not much better than this old man! Even if you can cultivate to Heavenly Emperor Realm, you��d also just be a notch stronger than him,�� Long Zhaotian said.


    ��Pfft ���� Even if Ye Yuan was composed, he was also tickled by these two guys.


    But when Ye Yuan saw Long Chi��s expression, he immediately felt very satisfied in his heart.


    These two living treasures were finally of some use.


    These two people chimed in one after another, Long Chi��s face already turned red from black, his face growing by virtually a fold, almost exploding.


    Bang!


    A powerful to the extreme pressure descended upon the entire Raindragon Stronghold.


    ��Where did the fools come from? To dare bullshit in front of this Emperor? This Emperor will kill you all with a palm!��


    Long Chi had a look of thunderous rage. Once a Heavenly Emperor raged, the air seemed to have solidified.


    ��Goodness! Ye Yuan, save us!�� The two people cried out strangely and hid behind Ye Yuan.


    In the two of their hearts, Ye Yuan had long already become a god-like existence.


    The mysterious power that Ye Yuan displayed in the Dragon Eye Cave had long brought the two of them into submission.


    Even though Long Chi was a Heavenly Emperor, he was still much lousier in their hearts. That was why the two dared to be so unbridled.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Long Chi, what do you want to do?��


    Long Chi��s imposing momentum stopped, a palm raised to midair, and did not dare to land anymore.


    When Long Xun saw that Long Chi indeed did not make to make a move, he immediately plucked up his courage. Poking his head out from behind Ye Yuan, he called out, ��You scold yourself and actually dare to say that others are fools, where did your courage come from? You listen to this little lord��s name, I��m Little Xun under Lord Ye Yuan��s command!��


    Long Zhaotian also stretched his head out and called out in a clear voice, ��Little Tian under Lord Ye Yuan��s command! Dumb old man, remember it! This little lord will definitely surpass you in the future!��


    Long Chi was furious!


    Even if he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he also felt that his two lungs were almost exploding at this time.


    ��Long Chi, it��s just been 200 times, there are still 8800 times, when are you planning to say until?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Chi gritted his teeth and said, ��Consider yourself ruthless! Long Chi is a pig!��


    ��Long Chi is a pig!��


    ��Long Chi is a pig!��


    Lord Heavenly Emperor could only continue.


    Long Xiaochun had a look of surprise as she said, ��What��s going on here?��


    Long Xiyue pulled a long face and said, ��You damn lass, having learned neither knowledge nor skill, to not even know about the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!��


    Long Xiaochun pointed at Ye Yuan in surprise and said, ��You��re talking about him?��


    Long Xiyue��s face turned cold and she said in a solemn voice, ��Insolence! You, lass, are becoming more and more unbridled, to actually dare be impolite toward the Son of the Heavenly Dragon!��


    Long Xiaochun burst out laughing and said, ��Mother, you don��t need to be so respectful toward him. In terms of seniority, he still has to call you grandaunt!��


    Long Xiyue��s expression changed drastically, and she said angrily, ��Damn girl, you �� do you want to anger mother to death?��


    As she said, she was just about to make a move to take care of Long Xiaochun but was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    ��Dragon Lord, wait! What Xiaochun said �� is right.�� Ye Yuan said with a look of embarrassment.


    Long Xiyue was taken aback, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��Does Dragon Lord have an elder brother called Long Qin?��


    Long Xiyue��s entire body trembled, and she said in disbelief, ��You �� You��re Big Brother��s descendant?��

 Chapter 2153 - Battle of Dragon Sons!

    ��Yo, Long Chi, what a shocking scene! Got nothing to do? To actually call yourself a pig?��


    Long Chi was just yelling ��Long Chi is a pig�� when a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at the top of the stone tower, having a look of amusement on his face.


    Long Chi��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Brother Ao Xu, what are you here for?��


    Ao Xu chuckled and said, ��You don��t have to care about what I��m here for first. You��re doing something unique here. This Emperor could even hear your howls from a hundred miles away. Heh heh, our dragon race bloodline is incomparably noble. So even if you abandon yourself to despair, don��t put yourself in the same category as a pig, this kind of low-grade life-form!��


    Long Chi had a black face, the hatred toward Ye Yuan in his heart increasing even more.


    This Ao Xu was Heavenly Stronghold Purpledragon Stronghold��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. Having this scene seen by him, wouldn��t this unsavory scandal spread to all the heaven strongholds?


    Could it be that his face was going to utterly lose in the East Suppression Pseudo World?


    Fortunately, this Ao Xu��s relationship with him was pretty good. Long Chi let out a sigh and said, ��Sigh! Don��t mention it anymore, Brother Ao Xu! Right now, I have a stifled breath blocked up in my chest, almost exploding!��


    Ao Xi knew that Long Chi covered the sky with one hand in Raindragon Stronghold, virtually rendering Dragon Lord Long Xiyue to a figurehead.


    This scene right now should not happen.


    ��Oh? Could someone still anger you until like this in this Raindragon Stronghold?�� Ao Xu said curiously.


    Long Chi had a bitter look as he said, ��There wasn��t in the past, but now �� sigh!��


    He roughly recounted the events. Of course, he selectively forgot about Long Hao��s overbearing action.


    When Ao Xu heard, he could not help having a shocked face too.


    ��You��re saying that he only used ten years�� time and broke through to Empyrean in the Dragon Eye Cave, obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark, and even found the way back?�� Ao Xu counter-asked.


    Long Chi nodded and said, ��Precisely so!��


    ��Pooh! Precisely so my ass! Long Chi old punk, this emperor takes you to be a friend. Are you playing this emperor like a monkey?�� Ao Xu directly spat in Long Chi��s face. He completely did not believe Long Chi��s words.


    But right at this time, Ao Xu gave a slight cry of surprise. A white secret order jumped out of the void and landed in Ao Xu��s hands.


    Ao Xu reached his hand out and grabbed the secret order in his hand. Sinking his divine sense inside and looking, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    ��Long Chi, what did you say that pu �� the Son of the Heavenly Dragon was called?�� Ao Xu asked in a solemn voice.


    ��He��s called Ye Yuan!�� Long Chi gritted his teeth and said.


    Getting a confirmed answer, shock was written all over Ao Xu��s face as he said, ��Then, what you said earlier was all true?��


    Long Chi was speechless as he said, ��It��s naturally true!��


    Ao Xu opened his mouth wide, disbelief all over his face.


    The things that Long Chi said, each one was unthinkable, let alone that it even happened to one person at the same time.


    This matter was too inconceivable!


    Long Chi observed his speech and countenance and said, ��Brother Ao Xu coming to Raindragon Stronghold, could it be ����


    Ao Xu nodded and said, ��That��s right, the Battle of Dragon Sons is about to begin, I came to invite Long Xiaochun to take part. However �� a secret order came from the stronghold just now, saying that an additional name appeared on the Dragon Mark Monument, called Ye Yuan, originating from precisely your Raindragon Stronghold! I really didn��t expect that a measly little Raindragon Stronghold actually produced two children of the heavenly dragon this time!��


    �� ��


    ��Hehe, Ye Yuan, seeing this great grandaunt, shouldn��t you kowtow?�� Long Xiaochun teased Ye Yuan again.


    Ye Yuan was speechless, Long Xiaochun could play with this stick for ten years.


    However, Long Xiyue said in a solemn voice, ��Xiaochun, you mustn��t be rude! Disregarding that Ye Yuan obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark, just talking about how he��s of the Atavism Dragon Soul, it��s equivalent to Big Brother��s successor separated by generations. In terms of seniority, he��s of the same generation as you! You��re younger than him and should call him as your big brother!��


    Long Xiyue looked toward Ye Yuan with an affectionate look.


    She and Long Qin had a close relationship. The love for the house extends to even the crows perching on the roof, so she naturally viewed Ye Yuan in a different light.


    Long Xiaochun pursed her mouth and said unhappily, ��What? I finally managed to get some leverage over him, but you ruined it with one sentence.��


    Ye Yuan also found it funny listening at one side. It turned out that the Dragon Clan could still have this way of saying things.


    Long Xiyue shot Long Xiaochun a fierce glare and said, ��You lass, you don��t cultivate well every day! You only know how to cause disturbances! The Battle of Dragon Sons is about to begin right away. Starting from today, you cultivate well for me, strive to break through to Second Firmament Empyrean as soon as possible! If you lose in the Battle of Dragon Sons, see if I don��t teach you a lesson!��


    The moment Long Xiaochun heard the word cultivate, she could not help getting a headache.


    ��Mother, don��t force me anymore! You look, I already cultivate very diligently, cultivating to the Empyrean Realm so quickly.�� Long Xiaochun said in a spoiled manner.


    But Long Xiyue was not the slightest bit moved and pulled a long face as she said, ��Don��t give me that! Doesn��t Mother still not know your character? If you still dare to be negligent, just remember that I will directly confine you!��


    Long Xiaochun had a bitter face. Suddenly, she had a spark of inspiration. Pulling Ye Yuan, she had an appearance of giving people a feeling of unable to help to show tender care when one saw her as she said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan ����


    Long Xiyue was just about to get angry, but saw Ye Yuan smile. He said, ��Aunt, you don��t need to force Xiaochun like this too. With her talent, isn��t breaking through to Second Firmament Empyrean still easily accomplished?��


    Long Xiaochun nodded her head like a chicken pecking for rice at the side, agreeing strongly to this.


    Ye Yuan��s words were also not uttered against his conscience. Long Xiaochun��s talent was indeed what he rarely saw in this lifetime.


    Even that Lin Changqing who cracked himself up to be a genius was also a piece of trash in front of Long Xiaochun.


    This was still Long Xiaochun being very playful, that was why her cultivation speed was so slow.


    If she cultivated diligently, her current strength would already be god knows how horrifying.


    Long Xiyue shook her head and said, ��You don��t know this. But the Battle of Dragon Sons is related to the Raindragon Stronghold��s rise and fall. Now that the Battle of Dragon Sons is hanging above our heads, with her indolent personality, she��ll definitely suffer a big loss going to the Battle of Dragon Sons. Those able to obtain the Heavenly Dragon Mark and become children of the heavenly dragon, every one of their strength is extremely powerful and not much weaker than her.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, Aunt, leave Xiaochun��s breakthrough to me.��


    Long Xiyue was taken aback and said with pleasant surprise, ��I nearly forgot. You��re the Second Sage that Sacred Ancestor High Priest personally conferred! Then �� I won��t be courteous!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��We are one family. There is no need to be too distant.��


    Long Xiyue beamed and said, ��I really didn��t expect that Big Brother would actually have an outstanding descendant like you. Given time, you��ll definitely surpass your predecessor!��


    Long Xiaochun giggled and said, ��Great! Eating a medicinal pill and I��ll be able to break through, it really saves too much trouble!��


    �� ��


    In front of Ao Xu, Long Chi said with a doleful look, ��Brother Ao Xu, you have to uphold justice for this younger brother! Disregarding that that boy killed my Hao-er, he even used this sort of method to humiliate me! I really can��t endure this grievance!��


    Ao Xu revealed a difficult look, shook his head, and said with a sigh, ��Younger Brother Long Chi, Elder Brother knows the bitterness in your heart. But you��re aware of the status of the Son of the Heavenly Dragon. Just based on my status, it��s hard to touch him at all!��


    Long Chi secretly cursed the old fox, gritted his teeth, and said, ��As long as Brother Ao Xu is willing to help Younger Brother take revenge, Younger Brother is willing to offer the Heaven Shaking Hammer with both hands.��


    Ao Xu could not help smiling when he heard this. He then said, ��Younger Brother Long Chi, rest assured. What��s our relationship? Your matters are my matters. This matter, I��ll definitely help you settle it!��

 Chapter 2154 - Branch

    After the pill was formed, Long Xiaochun broke through the next day.


    Following that, Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun followed Ao Xu and left the Raindragon Stronghold.


    Ye Yuan did not wish to take part in whatever Battle of Dragon Sons, more than a hundred years had already passed since he made this trip to save Lu-er. He was somewhat worried about Heavenly Eagle in his heart and planned on preparing to leave after staying for a few days.


    But he could not withstand Long Xiaochun��s hard and soft tactics as well as Long Xiyue��s earnest hopes, so he set off with a half-reluctant attitude.


    ��Huhu, Dragon Son Ye is truly a peerless talent, to actually cultivate to the realm of Empyrean at this age. You��ll surely be able to enter the Heavenly Dragon Mountain in the future,�� Ao Xu said with a laugh.


    He was very humble and polite along the way and did not have any airs of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    However, he had long already had killing intent aroused toward Ye Yuan.


    From Long Chi��s mouth, Ao Xu already knew how monstrous Ye Yuan was.


    If such a monster grew up, he would pose a tremendous threat to Dragon Son Ao Yu.


    This threat absolutely could not stay!


    Ao Yu was precisely Purpledragon Stronghold��s Son of the Heavenly Dragon, and he was also Ao Xu��s nephew.


    Hence, even if Long Chi did not pay the price, he would kill Ye Yuan too, disposing of this hidden danger while it was in a budding state.


    ��Senior is too kind. This Ye was merely a little lucky,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Long Xiaochun rolled her eyes and said, ��You��re really hypocritical! Clearly very impressive yourself, yet, feigning an unimpressive appearance! Your Dragon Beard Purpleshine Pill is really too incredible. The Seven-star priests in the stronghold are simply laymen when compared to you!��


    Ao Xu was alarmed in his heart. This kid even knew how to refine pills. Furthermore, he was very formidable?


    No wonder Long Xiaochun broke through so quickly. It turned out that it was actually due to the medicinal pill.


    Ao Xu knew that Long Xiaochun was very lazy in cultivation and it was completely impossible to be Ao Yu��s match, so he paid no attention to it.


    He did not expect that when he came this time, Long Xiaochun actually broke through overnight, making his jaw drop.


    This way, Long Xiaochun also became a formidable enemy of Ao Yu.


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless when he heard it. He was being modest. How did it become hypocritical when it reached Long Xiaochun��s mouth?


    He could not have people praise him and he put on a straight face and say that he was very impressive, right?


    How to let people follow up with this!


    Except, he did not know that these words strengthened Ao Xu��s killing intent even more.


    The three people moved extremely fast. Half a month later, they arrived at an area of high mountains and lofty peaks.


    ��The two of you, this place is a forked-road. This emperor still has to make a trip to Southhope Stronghold and receive the Son of the Heavenly Dragon, Long Zheng, to the Purpledragon Stronghold. You guys travel too slowly, I��ll have to trouble you two to wait here for a few days. The latest by half a month, this Emperor will definitely catch up,�� Ao Xu clasped his hands and said.


    Long Xiaochun��s thoughts were pure and did not suspect anything. Waving her hand, she said, ��Go on, go on, we��ll wait for you.��


    Ao Xu smiled slightly, figure moving, and disappeared.


    After Ao Xu left, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly but became alert.


    ��Hey! Are you mistaken? You even made it through the Dragon Eye Cave, but this wilderness is scaring you?�� Long Xiaochun snickered.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said in a solemn voice, ��Better an open enemy than a false friend, an open foe may prove a curse but a pretend friend is even worse! The spatial structure here is very unstable. Once one hides in a spatial rift, it will be like a fish entering the sea. We will be unable to find those spatial rifts at all. Of course, this place is also the ideal place for an ambush!��


    Long Xiaochun laughed and said, ��My Big Brother Ye Yuan, are you being overly cautious? This place is East Suppression Pseudo World. Who dares to ambush us in my noble Dragon Clan��s territory?��


    Clearly, Long Xiaochun did not take Ye Yuan��s cautiousness to heart at all.


    But Ye Yuan had journeyed north and south, and had gone to no idea how many places before and experienced how many massacres before. He naturally would not be as pure as Long Xiaochun.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��This place isn��t advisable to stay for too long. We��d better hurry up and leave.��


    Long Xiaochun said, ��Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu asked us to wait here for him, if we were to go, how would he find us?��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, ��I��m afraid that he doesn��t have good intentions too!��


    Originally, Ye Yuan did not have any suspicions towards Ao Xu either. But Ao Xu��s words just now had too many suspicious points!


    Travel slow?


    Forked road?


    Would bringing two Empyreans on the journey really delay a lot of time?


    Furthermore, this forked road was a little too coincidental, right?


    Instinct told him that this place was not safe!


    The more he thought, the more Ye Yuan felt that this was a scheme, a plot specifically to kill the two of them!


    Long Xiaochun felt that Ye Yuan was rather abnormal and said unhappily, ��Ye Yuan, you��re too sensitive! Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu doesn��t put on any airs at all. Along the way, he also took extra care of us. How can he possibly harm us?��


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless. This lass was too pure and did not know the viciousness of the human heart at all!


    He did not believe that this East Suppression Pseudo World was a pure land without strife.


    Although Ye Yuan did not know why Ao Xu would make a move against him, this place being very dangerous was certainly without a doubt.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��You��re not going?��


    ��I��m not going! Want to go, you go!�� Long Xiaochun said stubbornly.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it, I want to see just what tricks Ao Xu can play!��


    He did not believe that Ao Xu dared to act against the two of them in a flagrant manner.


    After all, Ao Xu was a receiving envoy, if the two of them died in Ao Xu��s hands, he would have to be buried in death himself too.


    Long Xiaochun had a disdainful look as she said, ��Ye Yuan, I��ve misjudged you! You��re projecting your own shortcomings onto others! Not every one is as black-hearted as you.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and paid no heed to it. Landing among the mountains, he found a place to rest.


    The way each person saw the world was different. Long Xiaochun��s thoughts were simple and naturally felt that this world was very simple.


    Didn��t Ye Yuan like this little sister because of this too?


    Loyal to friends, simple thoughts, having dealings with such a person took no effort at all.


    Ye Yuan did not haggle over it. Rather, Long Xiaochun was unrelenting and chased after Ye Yuan angrily and said, ��Humph! I really couldn��t tell that you were such a person! Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu has no grudge nor enmity with us. He is also very kind. So what reason does he have to harm us ����


    Got to admit, Ao Xu pretended very well along the way. Even Ye Yuan was deceived, let alone talk about Long Xiaochun.


    Ao Xu��s ripe old age was not lived in vain in the end.


    Even Ye Yuan also did not detect the killing intent in his heart.


    Along the way, Ao Xu was not overly close to the two, but he also did not put on the airs of a Heavenly Emperor.


    Answering every question, helping with every problem.


    Everything was expressed too normally.


    He looked just like a kind and gentle grandpa.


    If not for the reason just now being somewhat shoddy, coupled with that he was extremely sensitive to space, he probably would not discover the danger yet.


    ��Talk! Say something! Being speechless, do you think that what I said makes sense? Humph! Half a month later, when Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu comes, see what face you still have to meet him!�� Long Xiaochun said angrily.


    However, what Long Xiaochun did not expect was that Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu did not come. Instead, a bunch of ferocious and sinister bandits came.

 Chapter 2155 - Battling a Hundred Empyreans!

    ��Coming!��


    Ye Yuan currently had his eyes shut to rest, ignoring the chirping of the Long Xiaochun by the side.


    Suddenly, a ripple in space was keenly detected by him.


    Long Xiaochun was taken aback at first, following that, she grumbled, ��Hey, you��re still using this kind of low-level method to bluff me, do you think that I��d believe?��


    But Ye Yuan ignored her and slowly got up. His gaze seemed to have seen through the dense woods, a solemn look on his face.


    In the distance, some powerful auras were currently coming over here!


    There was a series of rustling noises in the dense woods. Several dozen figures revealed their figures.


    The person in the front had thick bushy brows, a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle��s. The scar at the corner of his eye drew all the way to the chin; extremely terrifying.


    The scarred man said in a cold voice, ��Everyone, guard your positions well. This boy is proficient in spatial law. Don��t let him run!��


    ��Yes, Lord Long Xiao!�� Everyone answered.


    When this group of people appeared in front of Long Xiaochun, she was utterly stunned.


    Each and every one of these people��s auras was very powerful, they were actually all Empyrean powerhouses!


    The scarred man in the front even reached middle-stage Empyrean!


    Ye Yuan was long mentally prepared and was very calm as he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Did Ao Xu send you guys here?��


    Long Xiao laughed loudly and said, ��Kid, want to bait me? However �� it doesn��t matter, because you��re dead for sure today! That��s right, it was indeed Lord Xu who sent us here! Looking at your appearance, you actually don��t feel surprised?��


    In Long Xiao��s eyes, Ye Yuan was already a turtle in one��s jaws. He would be dead for sure.


    Although spatial law was formidable, as long as there were sufficient precautions, the opponent could not run at all.


    They were merely a thousand feet away from Ye Yuan right now.


    At this distance, Ye Yuan did not have the chance to execute spatial law to escape at all!


    But regarding Ye Yuan��s reaction, Long Xiao was very surprised.


    Since Ye Yuan was waiting here obediently, he shouldn��t have known that this was arranged by Lord Xu. But why was he so composed, like he knew long ago?


    This could not be explained!


    If he knew that it was Long Xiaochun��s assist, he would probably be beside himself with joy long ago.


    Hearing Long Xiao��s words, Long Xiaochun was completely dumbfounded.


    Long Xiaochun did not believe this as she said, ��Impossible! This �� How is this possible? Lord Ao Xu is so nice. It must be you guys framing him!��


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless and said, ��That old man has probably lived for no less than ten million years. Wouldn��t pretending to be a kind grandpa be easily accomplished?��


    Long Xiaochun could not quite accept this truth. When she looked at Ye Yuan, her heart felt like it was being pricked. Lowering her eyes, she felt very guilty inside.


    ��Sorry, I �� I was wrong! You �� You run away! Don��t worry about me!�� Long Xiaochun was simple, but she was not dumb.


    She knew that she really misunderstood Ye Yuan.


    Ao Xu was completely and utterly a big liar!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What a joke. You��re my little sister, how can I possibly leave you and escape by myself?��


    Long Xiao laughed loudly and said, ��Escape? Kid, you seem to not have realized your situation yet! In front of this Empyrean, you still want to run?��


    Long Xiaochun suddenly recalled something, looking at the scarred man, she cried out in shock, ��Eagle eyes, scar, you �� you��re Long Xiao!��


    Long Xiao laughed loudly and said, ��Looks like this Empyrean��s name is still somewhat resounding!��


    Long Xiaochun said anxiously, ��Ye Yuan, quickly run! This guy is famous for killing people without batting an eyelid! Furthermore, he��s extremely strong, being unrivaled in the same rank! He committed numerous crimes in Purpledragon Stronghold and suffered the pursuit of several dozen black strongholds. Later, it alarmed an earth stronghold. Legends say that when he was still Third Firmament Empyrean, he had once encountered the pursuit of five great Third Firmament Empyreans before. In the end, those five great Empyreans were all killed by him!��


    If Long Xiao was just Second or Third Firmament Empyrean, Long Xiaochun would not be so nervous. She knew Ye Yuan��s combat power.


    Even if he could not win, there was still hope of running away.


    But this Long Xiao was a Fourth Firmament Empyrean mighty expert. Furthermore, his combat strength was extremely strong. Her assurance in Ye Yuan was not that big anymore.


    Long Xiaochun liked to pester Long Zhi, making him talk about some of the interesting things of the East Suppression Pseudo World and the outside world.


    Long Xiao��s fame in the boundary of Purpledragon Stronghold was very great. Long Zhi had mentioned it once before, so that was how she knew.


    ��Heh heh, since you know this Empyrean��s battle achievements, then you should know that you��re dead for sure today, right? In order to deal with you, this father of yours has brought out all the elite troops!�� Long Xiao said with a cold laugh.


    Among the dozen over Empyreans present, just the Third Firmament Empyreans were as many as three!


    There were also seven to eight Second Firmament Empyreans. First Firmament Empyreans likewise had seven to eight people.


    Coupled with Long Xiao, this Fourth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse, this was practically a certain-kill trap.


    Ye Yuan��s expression also had a rare show of seriousness.


    His current strength facing off against a First Firmament Empyrean was virtually insta-skill.


    Facing a Second Firmament Empyrean, he could also fight and win.


    But facing off with a Third Firmament Empyrean would be somewhat taxing.


    After all, each minor realm of Empyrean Realm, the span was tremendous; difficult to go beyond.


    Ye Yuan broke through to Chaos Realm, fused essence, energy, and spirit three paths, coupled with outstanding combat strength, that was how he could jump realms and battle.


    But dealing with so many Empyreans at the same time, furthermore, it was even all Empyreans whose realms were higher than him, it would naturally not be that easy for him anymore.


    As for the Chaos Essence One Breath Sword, that was his final trump card.


    Whether this move could kill the Fourth Firmament Empyrean Long Xiao or not was really hard to say.


    If the one strike failed, the consequences would be dangerous.


    This kind of move, even he could not randomly execute it.


    ��It looks like Ao Xu really put in the blood capital in order to deal with me! However �� do you all think that killing me is that easy?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Long Xiao smiled and said, ��Of course this Empyrean knows that you��re not easy to kill! Otherwise, could you, a First Firmament Empyrean, require this Empyrean��s grand presence? Since this Empyrean came, I��ve naturally readied everything! Brothers, kill for me!��


    Under the word of command, roughly 17 to 18 Empyrean powerhouses attacked together!


    This commotion was truly earth-shaking.


    Empyrean powerhouses, those were all major powers that could move mountains and empty seas. With 17 to 18 Empyreans, what kind of line-up was that?


    Especially the three Third Firmament Empyreans, three blade images directly cut through the void, arriving in front of Ye Yuan instantly.


    ��Be careful!��


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly, directly pulling Long Xiaochun and escaping into the void, dodging those blade images.


    Incredibly dangerous!


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart. These three great Empyrean��s combat strengths far exceeded his imagination.


    Their laws were not considered too outstanding. But these three people, one look, and it was clear that they were veterans of a hundred battles. Their application of laws already reached the acme of perfection.


    Coupled with the pressure from their cultivation realms, as well as the three people��s tacit cooperation, it was troublesome to the extreme!


    It seemed like these guys had long already mastered their abilities under the pursuit of the Dragon Clan.


    Not just them, the other Empyrean powerhouses were all not amateurs too!


    Ye Yuan reckoned that if those so-called geniuses matched up against these people, they probably would not even know how they died!


    Ye Yuan was startled, but he did not know that Long Xiao who was watching the fight from the sidelines was more shocked than he was!


    He understood the strength of these brothers too well. Putting a Third Firmament Empyrean here, in less than three exchanges, they would definitely die grievously.


    But Ye Yuan��s application of spatial law was too terrifying.


    More than ten rounds had passed, they actually did not even touch the corners of his clothes!


    Let alone that Ye Yuan was even bringing along Long Xiaochun, who was being a burden.

 Chapter 2156 - Breaking Out of the Encirclement

    ��Ye Yuan, let go of me! If you bring me along, it��s impossible for you to escape!�� Long Xiaochun said anxiously.


    She also saw through that these Empyreans that Long Xiao brought, each one was incomparably powerful, with their combat strength far surpassing those in the same rank.


    Furthermore, their cooperation was extremely ingenious. They had clearly gone through countless trials before there was such tacit understanding.


    ��Enough crap, I��ll get distracted like this! Relax your mind and just follow me!�� Ye Yuan said calmly.


    Long Xiaochun was startled in her heart and could only follow along as Ye Yuan ordered.


    One of the Third Firmament Empyreans suddenly shouted, ��Big Brother, come up with some ideas!��


    Long Xiao said in a clear voice, ��Don��t panic! Let him hide! No matter how ingenious his movement technique is, there will definitely be times when he��s careless! Competing in willpower, we have never lost to anyone before!��


    ��Heh heh, alright!��


    When the group of Empyreans heard Long Xiao��s words, the strength in their hands became steadier.


    These Empyreans were not in a hurry at all, like cats catching mice. The intention was to slowly wear out Ye Yuan to death.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart. Long Xiao��s one sentence made these guys�� combat power rise several levels!


    This was not the increase in strength, but the stabilization of mental state.


    In a fight, the more stable the mentality, the more one could tend to perform exceptionally well!


    Three great Empyreans were the main attackers, the rest supported from the sides.


    But each person, even if it was a First Firmament Empyrean, one could not overlook them.


    A move of theirs that suddenly appeared would seriously injure you.


    These people��s cooperation was simply impeccable!


    One must find an opportunity to break this balance.


    Otherwise, it would be dangerous today.


    Let alone that the strongest Long Xiao had not even made a move until now!


    ��No wonder even Lord Ao Xu was very wary of you. Even if your strength was placed in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, it will absolutely be top-notch too. What��s even more terrifying is that you��re only First Firmament Empyrean! Heh heh, but no matter how strong you are, it��s also a certain-death situation today. Kid, don��t struggle anymore!�� Long Xiao said with a big laugh at the side.


    Him talking on the sidelines was disrupting Ye Yuan��s state of mind.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s situation became even more critical.


    Suddenly, a First Firmament Empyrean saw an opening and stabbed toward Long Xiaochun with a sword.


    Long Xiaochun turned pale with fright, but it was already too late to want to stop it.


    At the critical moment, Ye Yuan flashed and blocked in front of Long Xiaochun.


    Swish!


    The long sword stabbed right into Ye Yuan��s chest.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Long Xiaochun turned pale with fright and screamed out.


    The other Empyrean��s eyes lit up, akin to sharks that smelled the scent of blood, blade lights and sword images all hacking towards Ye Yuan.


    ��Good!�� When Long Xiao saw this scene, he could not refrain from cheering.


    Yet, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred!


    Ye Yuan suffering this sword did not collapse like everyone imagined. Instead, he opposed the momentum and stabbed a sword out!


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    Ye Yuan��s low voice sounded out. An unparalleled sword energy directly blasted the First Firmament Empyrean in front of him to dregs.


    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan did not stop in the slightest, pulling Long Xiaochun and flashing, he directly tunneled out of the group of Empyreans�� encirclement.


    This scene happened too suddenly, everyone did not react in time and let him succeed in breaking out of the encirclement.


    ��Ye Yuan, a-are you alright?��


    Long Xiaochun looked at that sword stuck in Ye Yuan��s body, tears almost falling out.


    Ye Yuan only got hurt in order to protect her.


    Falling into a heavy encirclement was also because of her willfulness.


    Long Xiaochun felt wronged to the extreme in her heart.


    Ye Yuan just chuckled, reached his hand out, and slowly pulled out the long sword.


    There was not even a drop of blood left behind on the sword.


    When Long Xiao and the rest saw this scene, their eyes went wide.


    ��This �� How is this possible?�� Long Xiao said in disbelief.


    A First Firmament Empyrean being stabbed through by another First Firmament Empyrean with a sword, he was actually completely fine?


    Long Xiaochun opened her mouth wide, a disbelieving look on her face.


    ��Huhu, you forgot, my physical body is very strong! How can this degree of attack hurt me?�� Ye Yuan said with a light laugher.


    Long Xiao��s pupils constricted, seemingly thinking of something. He then cried out in surprise, ��Perfect seventh transformation! He �� He��s at the perfect seventh transformation��


    ��What? Is there really someone who can achieve perfect seventh transformation in this world?��


    ��I heard that the people with perfect seventh transformation can become impervious to swords and spears, having a perfect defense! Unless one��s cultivation realm exceeds by a lot, otherwise, they would not be able to even breach the defenses. I didn��t expect that it��s actually true!��


    ��That nirvanic tribulation is so horrifying! How did he transcend it?��


    �� ��


    Cries of exclamations similarly came from the group of Empyreans. Clearly, they were shocked by the perfect seventh transformation, this term.


    The dragon race��s physical body was extremely powerful. It was also precisely because so that they yearned for the perfect seventh transformation immensely.


    But innumerable pioneers had once attempted it before, they all ended in failure.


    But today, they actually saw a living perfect seventh transformation, how could they not be shocked?


    Long Xiao gritted his teeth and said, ��Boy, turns out that this is your trump card! But it ends here!��


    Bang!


    A powerful aura erupted. The pressure of a Fourth Firmament Empyrean made even space tremble.


    But Ye Yuan did not care in the slightest and said with a faint smile, ��My trump cards are plentiful Starting from now, savor my methods well. Have a taste of what��s called �� pain!��


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved, directly teleporting away.


    The interval before was actually done on purpose by Ye Yuan.


    It was in order to break through these people��s encirclement.


    As long as he broke through, with his spatial law powers, it would be difficult for these people to want to catch him again.


    ��Want to go? How can it be that easy? Eat this blade of mine!��


    The short knife in Long Xiao��s hand raised up, the surging vital energy carried an astonishing blade, directly cutting through the sky, catching up to Ye Yuan instantly.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure swayed and he actually disappeared!


    This heaven-shocking blade of Long Xiao��s actually struck nothing!


    ��Not good! This kid is running to hide into the spatial rift! Chase!�� Long Xiao said with narrowed eyes.


    �� ��


    Inside the spatial rift, Long Xiaochun had a look of pleasant surprise.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan getting injured frightened her badly.


    But at this very moment, her guilt was tossed beyond the ninth heaven by her long ago.


    ��Hahaha �� too exciting! Ye Yuan, it��s really too exciting!�� Long Xiaochun had long already forgotten about the anxiety and panic earlier, a look of excitement on her face.


    Toward this plucky little sister, Ye Yuan was directly rendered speechless.


    ��Xiaochun, want to play a game or not?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    ��I want, I want! How to play, Ye Yuan?�� Long Xiaochun clapped her hands and said gleefully.


    Her thought process was clearly different from others. Others would definitely roll their eyes and scold Ye Yuan viciously at this time.


    What time was it, still playing games?


    Yet, the moment Long Xiaochun heard playing games, she immediately became excited.


    ��Alright then, starting from now, you have to listen to me for everything! Since this guy dared to come and ambush me, he��ll have to be prepared to pay a painful price!�� Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes, seething with killing intent.


    Long Xiaochun nodded her head like a chicken pecking for rice as she said, ��Say it! I��ll listen to you! You rest assured. In order to make up for the mistake that I made, I��ll go all out! You say, play what game?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Hide and seek!��

 Chapter 2157 - : Hide And Seek

    A Third Firmament Empyrean said, ��Big Brother, this brat hides inside the spatial rift. He wants to play hide and seek with us!��


    ��A fool who overestimates his own ability! This stretch of space is our old den. He wants to play hide and seek with us in our lair? This Empyrean wants to see whether it��s him who plays with me, or me who toys with him! Long Xi, Long Zhao, Long Ming, the three of you each lead a team and march forward. Play with this kid well!�� Long Xiao said with a cold smile.


    Long Xi, Long Zhao, Long Ming, were those Third Firmament Empyrean powerhouses.


    Getting Long Xiao��s orders, the two people clasped their hands and said smilingly, ��Big Brother, rest assured. This area of spatial rifts is our own backyard. Even if that brat wants to run, he also can��t escape!��


    This area of space was layered upon layers; complicated to the extreme.


    Long Xiao��s main camp was established inside.


    So, to them, this place was too familiar.


    Ye Yuan entering this region of spatial rifts was equivalent to walking right into a trap.


    Long Xi three people each led their own squad and started digging everywhere, carrying out a carpet-bombing-style search on this area of space.


    ��This brat is really impressive! There are so many of us, we actually failed to kill him!��


    ��Humph! Mingxin��s death must be avenged! If I catch him, I��ll definitely hack him into a thousand pieces!��


    Long Mingxin was the First Firmament Empyrean that Ye Yuan killed. This result made them very aggrieved.


    So many people besieged Ye Yuan, but in the end, he actually escaped.


    ��Enough! Everyone, be more alert! Especially when we get to those folded space areas, be careful of his ambush!�� Long Xi said in a solemn voice.


    Following Long Xiao, he could be said to be a veteran of hundred battles and also developed an extremely vigilant personality.


    Although this was in their own lair, he still maintained sufficient vigilance.


    Suddenly, a figure flashed out ahead, who could it be if not Long Xiaochun?


    ��Hehehe �� you bad guys, go and die!�� Long Xiaochun made a funny face as she said.


    Long Xi��s face fell. Lifting his hand, it was a swift and fierce blade!


    ��Oh my!��


    Long Xiaochun cried out strangely, figure flashing, and actually disappeared.


    Bang!


    From the diagonal stab, a sudden shocking energy undulation directly blasted a First Firmament Empyrean to meat paste!


    ��Ao Zhou!�� Long Xi��s two eyes went wide and he roared angrily.


    This Ao Zhou was Long Xi��s old subordinate. The two people��s feelings were extremely deep.


    Long Xi did not expect that Ao Zhou was actually killed by Ye Yuan right under his eyelids!


    This move earlier was clearly True Sword Hollow Etch. Who was it if not Ye Yuan attacking?


    True Sword Hollow Etch this move releasing, it did not have any energy undulations at all. It was impossible to guard against.


    Coupled with Long Xiaochun being deliberately misleading earlier, attracting everyone��s attention, with this, even Long Xi did not manage to react to it as well.


    ��W-Why would this place have an area of folded space? Why?! Why have we never discovered it before?�� Long Xi howled.


    Long Xi looked carefully, the place where Ye Yuan suddenly sneak attacked just now was actually an area of extremely hidden space!


    This hidden space, they had never discovered it before.


    But Ye Yuan actually hid here and made a move against them!


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan understood this spatial rift better than them!


    ��Chase! Even if Your Father turns the spatial rifts upside-down, I��ll also find you!��


    The Long Xi under a towering rage tunneled into this folded space with a grunt.


    Swoosh!


    A figure flashed past from afar, Long Xi sent a saber slash over without a word.


    But that figure flashed, dodging this blade lightly, and disappeared once more.


    Long Xi��s face fell and he said with a cold yell, ��Chase!��


    Just like this, Long Xi passed through one folded space after another.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Suddenly, a miserable scream came over.


    Long Xi��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��It��s Long Bi��s voice! That boy actually, killed a Second Firmament Empyrean?��


    A subordinate warned, ��Lord Long Xi, this boy is full of tricks. Furthermore, he��s extremely powerful. We can��t keep on chasing after him like this! Otherwise, we��ll be routed by him!��


    Long Xi��s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, he still nodded his head.


    But, when they attempted to traverse through space and find the way they came from, they discovered to their dismay that �� they were lost!


    ��Lord Long Xi, this �� How is this possible?����


    ��This place is our doorstep. We actually �� actually got lost?��


    �� ��


    The group of subordinates was in a state of disbelief. They actually got lost at their front door!


    They thought that they knew this place like the back of their hands, but being brought around by Ye Yuan a few times, they actually could not find the way that they came from anymore.


    Long Xi��s eyes narrowed and he gritted his teeth and said, ��This boy��s spatial law is even more formidable than we imagined! He brought us into a spatial maze!��


    ��S-Spatial maze? Then �� Then wouldn��t we be unable to go out?��


    ��This isn��t possible! Since it��s a spatial maze, how does he get out himself?��


    When everyone heard this news, each and every one of their expressions changed drastically.


    Space was an extremely convoluted and profound thing to begin with. It was far from as simple as it looked on the surface.


    Otherwise, spatial law also would not be called one of the supreme laws.


    Inside space, there were layers upon layers. It was a maze in the first place.


    Empyrean powerhouses were able to utilize spatial law, but it was just in a more superficial manner.


    The truly obscure and difficult to understand areas, they were unable to touch it at all.


    And this area of spatial rifts was far more complicated than the outside world. So, when Long Xiao they all hid inside, even if a Heavenly Emperor came, it would also be very hard to find.


    A spatial maze was actually a deep layer of superimposed space; fragile and complicated.


    Once falling into this layer, wanting to find the way back again would be difficult!


    Long Xi chased after Ye Yuan in a sullen rage and actually came into a spatial maze unknowingly.


    This was clearly Ye Yuan��s scheme.


    They never would have thought that Ye Yuan entering this spatial rift was like a fish entering the sea; knowing everything about it.


    But their doorstep became their graveyard.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure walked out of a corner. ��No need to worry. Very soon �� you guys will be able to go and meet your companions.��


    Long Xi looked at Ye Yuan, gritted his teeth, and said, ��Brat, do you think that you can trap us like this? This Empyrean tells you, even if it��s a spatial maze, with our understanding of the spatial rifts, as long as we find a familiar plane, we��ll be able to return to the surface layer space!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, ��When did I say before that I want to use the spatial maze to trap you all?��


    Long Xi��s pupils constricted and he said in alarm and anger, ��You �� What are you trying to do?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Haven��t you already guessed what I want to do? Spatial �� collapse!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan stomp his feet. Chaos divine essence suddenly erupted. Chaos divine essence that was interwoven in space actually started collapsing layer upon layer.


    A tyrannical energy spewed forth without restraint inside the spatial rifts.


    Long Xi said in a great rage, ��Brat, if you make space collapse, you��ll die in here too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re thinking too much! How can my understanding of spatial law be what you can imagine?��

 Chapter 2158 - : Immense Grief

    ��Not good! Spatial collapse!


    Feeling that intense energy undulation, Long Xiao��s face turned white with a whoosh.


    His figure suddenly moved, virtually arriving at a certain area among the spatial rifts in an instant.


    However, it was already too late!


    Once a spatial collapse occurred, it was like a domino effect. The energy undulation that was setting off became stronger and stronger.


    Even he, this Fourth Firmament Empyrean, once he got caught inside, it would be certain death too.


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    Long Xiao��s heart suddenly ached, as if his heart was being rended.


    Among these subordinates, Long Xi followed him the longest, and the relationship was also the deepest.


    Long Xiao never dreamed of this situation. When facing the encirclement and suppression of countless Heavenly Emperor and Empyrean powerhouses, they could even escape alive, but today, they would actually die here!


    Died at the hands of a brat who just entered Empyrean!


    ��Is it very painful?�� A figure walked out of the void, his face full of coldness.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Long Xiao��s two eyes turned bloodshot and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Punk, this Empyrean will definitely rip you apart today!��


    Long Xiao raised his saber and arrived in an instant!


    The powerful blade light virtually tore space apart.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s figure dodged slightly, and he disappeared right before Long Xiao��s eyes.


    ��For so many years, you guys and Ao Xu have worked in cahoots, butchering how many of your same kind? Have you ever thought about �� whether their family members would feel pain or not? I have no grudge nor enmity with you guys, but you want to ambush us. Since that��s the case, then you��ll have to be prepared for my vengeance! Relax, the game has just started.��


    Ye Yuan walked out of another folded layer of space, his words full of frostiness.


    Long Xiao this group of people had their hands stained with fresh blood. Ye Yuan did not have any psychological restraint when killing them.


    If not for his numerous means, he would definitely die at Long Xiao��s hands today.


    Once Ye Yuan was enraged, the consequences were very terrifying.


    Now, Long Xiao tasted the bitter fruit.


    However, Long Xiao had more rage currently, it was the fury of not being content with anything less than his destruction.


    Long Xiao raised his blade and chased after Ye Yuan. But unfortunately, in this spatial rift that he was incomparably familiar with, he was like a headless fly, being led by the nose by Ye Yuan, running around everywhere.


    Occasionally, he would intrude into a layer of folded space, but seeing his subordinates�� corpse, his eyes could not help turning bloodshot from anger.


    Apart from Long Xi that squad being completely wiped out, the other teams were already thoroughly broken up by Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun two people as well.


    A powerful besieging team became all alone by themselves now.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, killing a lone Second Firmament Empyrean was not a hard thing.


    A carefully planned encirclement evolved into a one-sided massacre in the end.


    Long Xiao��s heart was dripping blood, these Empyreans were all old brothers who have followed him for hundreds of thousands of years, braving through wind and rain together, living days on the edge of danger before there was today.


    He did not expect that all of them fell here today, right at their own doorstep.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, he finally felt the taste of pain!


    Long Xiao had a body full of powerful strength, but in this area of spatial rifts, there was no room for him to unleash his ability at all.


    His saber had just raised up and Ye Yuan already vanished.


    But in half a day, the 17 to 18 Empyreans that Long Xiao brought over only had a scanty few people left.


    ��Ye Yuan, come out for me! If you have the capabilities, have an open and above-board showdown with me!�� Long Xiao roared at the depths of the void.


    ��B-Boss!�� Suddenly, a voice sounded out behind.


    Long Xiao turned his head to look, it was the Long Zhao whose two eyes were thoroughly red.


    His eyes were not red from killing, but red from crying.


    One brother after another dying made Long Zhao mourn endlessly.


    ��Long Zhao! I finally found you! Follow me! Make sure not to leave. When we see that little brute, you and I work together, we can definitely kill him!�� Long Xiao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Long Zhao��s eyes were red as he said, ��Boss, are we still fighting? S-Surrender!��


    Long Xiao��s gaze turned cold and he said in a chilly voice, ��So many brothers have died, but you��re asking me to surrender? If I don��t carve that punk up into a thousand pieces today, I, Long Xiao, swear that I��m lesser than human!��


    ��But we can��t find him at all! He understands this region of space like the back of his hand and even comes and goes freely the deep layers of space. His spatial law has reached rank six at the minimum!��


    Long Zhao already did not have any temper. What was terrifying was not a powerful opponent, but an opponent that you could not understand at all.


    Could not even catch the other party��s shadow, how to fight still?


    Long Xiao��s expression was livid too. Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure flashed, and Long Xiao said in a cold voice, ��Chase!��


    Swoosh!


    Space fluctuated, it suddenly became clear before his eyes.


    At this place, cherry blossoms were in full bloom, a small stream flowed past some cottages, young children horsed around in the village. It was actually a retreat away from the turmoil of the world.


    Far away, Long Xiaochun was currently playing with a few children in great delight.


    But Long Xiao��s expression changed wildly!


    He stared fixedly at the Ye Yuan standing in the air far away and said in a cold voice, ��Boy, what do you want to do?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across the village, a hint of gentleness flashing across his eyes.


    ��Surrender,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan traversed through the void and unintentionally discovered this place.


    Only then did he know. It turned out this was Long Xiao��s den.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that Long Xiao and the rest killed and pillaged outside, committing all kinds of atrocities, it was actually for the sake of this otherworldly paradise.


    Originally, Ye Yuan was planning on directly entrapping Long Xiao they all to death in the void.


    With Ye Yuan��s spatial law attainments, even if he could not kill Long Xiao, he still had assurance for the others.


    Even if it was a Third Firmament Empyrean, under Ye Yuan��s sneak attack, it was very hard to survive too.


    But now, he changed his mind.


    The hand that Long Xiao held his saber trembled lightly.


    Clearly, he was struggling fiercely in his heart.


    ��Boss! Give up! We have no chances of victory!�� Long Zhao said with reddened eyes.


    Long Xiao looked at Ye Yuan and gritted his teeth and said, ��How do I know whether he��ll strike to kill or not after surrendering?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I want to deal a killing blow, it wouldn��t be such a situation now.��


    Long Xiao��s pupils constricted, immediately understanding Ye Yuan��s meaning.


    If Ye Yuan was a mindless butcher of innocent people, or someone who was callous and merciless, he should have threatened with the lives of women and children currently, and not stand here talking to him perfectly well.


    Clearly, that way of directly threatening was more effective.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Several figures suddenly dashed out, it was Long Ming and the others.


    When they saw this scene, their expressions immediately changed dramatically.


    Ye Yuan actually found their lair!


    Their lair was extremely hidden, it had never been exposed before for so many years. Did not expect that it was actually found by Ye Yuan.


    ��B-Boss!�� Long Ming also said, seemingly rather parched.


    Suddenly, Long Xiao��s hand loosened up. That heavy short blade dropped down at a high speed, sticking into the soil with a clank.


    Thud!


    Long Xiao directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan in the air and said with gritted teeth, ��Long Xiao had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai and offended Lord Dragon Son. I hope that Your Excellency punishes! I only hope that Your Excellency lifts your hand high up in mercy and let the people of Dragon Source Village go!��


    As he said, Long Xiao directly sealed his divine sea and became a cripple.


    Seeing Long Ming like this, the rest no longer had the will to fight, throwing down their weapons one after another, and kneeling in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Your Excellency please lift your hand high up in mercy! We��re willing to take the punishment!��

 Chapter 2159 - You Seem Very Disappointed

    At Purpledragon Stronghold, a group of Son of the Heavenly Dragons were already ready and waiting for orders to set off.


    Two people surrounded a handsome youth, their attitude rather humble.


    ��Huhu, with Brother Yu��s strength, you��ll definitely radiate splendor in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time!��


    The one talking was precisely the Long Zheng that Ao Xu brought back.


    ��That��s right! Big Brother Yu already has no opponents among our Purpledragon Stronghold��s junior generation. Only those people that came down from the Heavenly Dragon Mountain have the qualifications to be his match.��


    This was another one of Purpledragon Stronghold��s Son of the Heavenly Dragon, Ao Zhong.


    Long Xiaochun did not have a Heavenly Dragon Mark, but her identity was special, and an exception was made this time for her to participate in the Battle of Dragon Sons.


    ��Humph! That Raindragon Stronghold is so haughty, to actually not arrive yet until now!�� Long Zheng said with a cold snort.


    After a few sentences of small talk, Ao Yu gave Ao Xu a signal. The two people found a quiet place and started discussing in whispers.


    ��Second Uncle, is that punk really as incredible as you said?�� Ao Yu said with a frown.


    ��More than incredible! You think about it, what kind of existence is Sacred Ancestor High Priest? How can a person that could make him personally confer as sage be of the ordinary sort? If let him grow unchecked, he��ll definitely be your great enemy in the future!�� Ao Xu said.


    Ao Xu had already told Ao Yu about Ye Yuan��s monstrousness.


    It was just that these words ultimately sounded like some Arabian night fantasy tale. So he was still not willing to believe it.


    Ao Yu was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. Normally, he would not place his peers in his sights at all. Now, a freak that was even more impressive than him suddenly popped out, he was naturally unhappy in his heart.


    But Ao Yu also knew that Ao Xu would not lie to him in this sort of thing.


    ��You��re sure that he won��t make it anymore?�� Ao Yu��s eyes glinted as he asked.


    Ao Xu smiled and said, ��You��re aware of Long Xiao��s strength! Even if he��s a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, he��s also just a genius that hasn��t grown up. How can he possibly survive at the hands of a Fourth Firmament Empyrean? Let alone that each and every one of his subordinates are all extremely fierce. Even if a peak Third Firmament Empyrean ran into them, he can only nurse a grievance and die!��


    Ao Yu also smiled slightly when he heard it and said, ��Second Uncle does things flawlessly, eliminating a great calamity in my heart for me! Second Uncle, rest assured. When I step into Heavenly Dragon Mountain in the future, I definitely won��t forget Second Uncle��s kindness.��


    Ao Xu was delighted in his heart, but he had a smile on his face as he said, ��You brat, what are you still being courteous with Second Uncle for?��


    The group of people was currently showing impatience from waiting when suddenly, someone came to report, saying that traces of Bandit Xiao was discovered in the vicinity of Cloudheaven Mountain Range. Clearly, they had experienced a great battle. The aura of a human was even left behind.


    Most likely, the Son of the Heavenly Dragon Ye Yuan and Long Xiaochun were already killed!


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan this Son of the Heavenly Dragon, the aura of a human on him was the strongest.


    Then this aura was definitely left behind by him.


    Once these words came out, it stunned the entire Purpledragon Stronghold.


    A Son of the Heavenly Dragon being killed was equivalent to a heaven stronghold��s dragon lord being killed. That was a major incident.


    When Ao Xu heard this news, his expression changed wildly. Thumping his fists and stomping his feet, he said, ��H-How can this be? This �� This is all my fault! If not for me leaving them in Cloudheaven Mountain Range, they also wouldn��t have run into Bandit Xiao, that bunch of vicious and unrestrained gang!��


    Ao Xu had a remorseful and angry look, full of an ashamed and indignant expression.


    One had to admit, his acting skill was mastered to perfection and could even win the best actor award.


    This matter, it was naturally his responsibility that was the greatest. But looking at his appearance, the others could not very well blame him anymore.


    Purpledragon Stronghold��s Dragon Lord frowned slightly, no idea what he was thinking.


    ��Protector Xu, nobody wished to see this sort of thing either. Don��t blame yourself too much.��


    ��Yeah, Protector Xu! This matter isn��t what you hoped for, it was all Bandit Xiao��s fault!��


    �� ��


    When the group of people saw Ao Xu crying, being heart-broken, they all came forward and started comforting.


    Ao Xu wiped away his tears, came before Dragon Lord, knelt straight down, and said in grief and indignation, ��Dragon Lord, Ao Xu requests to head to Cloudheaven Mountain Range to clean up Bandit Xiao! This time, even if I stand guard for 100 thousand years, Ao Xu also must kill all of them!��


    Dragon Lord gave him a glance with a deep meaning, let out a sigh, and said, ��Forget it. This matter wasn��t what you hoped for. That Bandit Xiao is extremely cunning. Even if a Heavenly Emperor went, it��s also useless. This matter, this emperor will ask for punishment from Heavenly Dragon Mountain.��


    Although Dragon Lord had some suspicions, this incident had no evidence, he could not very well sentence Ao Xu��s crime with just empty words too.


    But this matter was indeed fishy!


    ��Dragon Lord, this �� I hope that dragon lord gives Ao Xu a chance to make amends for my crime and take revenge for Dragon Son Ye and Long Xiaochun!�� Ao Xu was still grieving as he said.


    ��Oh? What happened? Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu is actually going to avenge me?��


    Dragon Lord was just about to speak when two young figures suddenly walked out of the void.


    When Ao Xu heard this voice, his eyes went wide, as if he had seen a ghost. He said in shock, ��You �� You��re actually fine?��


    When Ao Xu saw the other party, how could he still not understand who it was?


    His gaze stared fixedly at Ye Yuan as if wanting to see through him.


    Ye Yuan scoffed. ��Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu seems to be very disappointed that I��m alright!��


    The shock in Ao Xu��s heart was simply unable to use words to describe.


    A mere First Firmament Empyrean could actually survive under Long Xiao��s besieging, this was too inconceivable!


    The strength of Long Xiao this group of people, he was all too clear. Forget about a First Firmament Empyrean, even if it was a Fourth Firmament Empyrean, they could forget about returning alive too.


    Otherwise, Purpledragon Stronghold had so many Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, how could Long Xiao, a mere Fourth Firmament Empyrean, live until now?


    There was naturally Ao Xu��s assistance involved, but their own strength also occupied a crucial reason.


    But what was this situation right now?


    Ao Xu reacted very quickly, saying with some awkwardness, ��H-Haha, how can it be? For Dragon Son Ye to be able to return safely, this emperor is more than happy! I brought Long Zheng to go find you guys later on, but at that time, you guys were already not around.��


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu going to find us, you wanted to confirm whether or not we were killed, right?��


    Ao Xu��s face changed and he said, ��What do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What I mean, don��t you understand? These few years, you instigated Long Xiao and the rest to kill and pillage, committing all kinds of atrocities, cumulating numerous crimes. You��re the main culprit behind Long Xiao��s atrocities!��


    Talking towards the back, Ye Yuan��s tone gradually turned cold, his voice carrying anger.


    ��What? The boss behind Bandit Xiao is Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu? How can this be possible?��


    ��This brat wouldn��t be crazy, right? To actually frame Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu?��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Ao Xu is normally kind toward others in the stronghold and is the most amiable and approachable Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. How can he possibly be Bandit Xiao��s boss?��


    ��Even if he��s a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, he also can��t give a false account of the facts and invert black and white!��


    �� ��


    A stone stirred up a thousand layered wave, Ye Yuan��s words stirred up a fierce discussion in the crowd.


    Naturally, there were more people who did not believe it.


    Ao Xu this person was indeed very adept at pretending. Normally, his reputation in the stronghold was also extremely good.


    Hence, the moment Ye Yuan said it, everyone felt that Ye Yuan was finding fault instead.


    ��Hahaha �� Dragon Son Ye, this is the most hilarious joke that this Emperor has heard! You also heard it, everyone is aware of my, Ao Xu��s, conduct. How can I possibly be the culprit behind Bandit Xiao?�� Ao Xu laughed loudly and said.

 Chapter 2160 - Miscalculating and Stumbling?

    ��Dragon Son Ye, although your status is noble, Ao Xu is my Purpledragon Stronghold��s heavenly emperor. His status is noble and can��t be easily insulted. Saying this sort of words, you have to take out hard evidence!��


    The dragon lord who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up.


    Ye Yuan��s sudden appearance made him rather surprised.


    Being able to escape from under the hands of Bandit Xiao with this bit of strength, got to admit, Ye Yuan��s strength was pretty good.


    Of course, it was likely more to do with luck.


    Long Xiao this group of people, all of them were cunning like foxes, coming and going without a trace. Furthermore, their methods were extremely vicious and there had never been survivors.


    Even the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon that died under their hands were quite a few too!


    They did not expect that this time, this Son of the Heavenly Dragon actually escaped.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ao Xu and said smilingly, ��You seem to be very proud of yourself. Do you feel that I can��t do anything to you?��


    Ao Xu snorted coldly and said, ��Dragon Son Ye, this emperor calls you dragon son out of respect to the Heavenly Dragon Mountain! But you slandered this emperor, this emperor won��t willingly take things lying down either! Heavenly Emperors can��t be slandered!��


    Ao Xu said it righteously as if the villain was Ye Yuan.


    Everyone present knew Ao Xu��s ��personality, and all felt that Ye Yuan was making trouble out of nothing.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Looks like you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin. Dragon Lord Purpledragon, I wonder what��s the crime of murdering a Son of the Heavenly Dragon?��


    Dragon Lord��s eyes glinted and he slowly said, ��Murdering a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, one will be executed! However, the status of a Heavenly Emperor is transcendent, according to the rules set by Heavenly Dragon Mountain, they will be relegated to the second level of the Dragon Eye Cave!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes glimmered. The second level of the Dragon Eye Cave, that mysterious powerhouse should have come out of there, right?


    But he guessed wrongly, Bai Chen did not come from the second level, but from a deeper place.


    Ao Xu��s face fell, and he said, ��Ye Yuan! A clay bodhisattva still has some anger! You provoked time and again, deliberately misrepresenting things. Just what intentions do you have? Do you think that with the status of a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, you can do whatever you want?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Wow, cornered dog about to jump the wall, is it? No rush, no rush. Come, come, come. Meet an old friend.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan pointed at the void, several figures fell out.


    The few people had both hands behind their backs, kneeling in front of everyone, but had arrogant and unyielding faces.


    Seeing these few people, Ao Xu��s expression changed wildly.


    ��Long Xiao! It��s the devil��s incarnate, Long Xiao! He �� He had his divine sea sealed!��


    ��This �� This isn��t possible! What kind of character is the living King Yama Long Xiao? How can he possibly be caught by him?��


    ��It turns out that he didn��t escape from Long Xiao��s hands, but he captured Long Xiao! It��s been so many years. Purpledragon Stronghold has sent out how many Heavenly Emperors and Empyreans, but failed to do anything to him. He was actually captured by a First Firmament Empyrean brat?��


    �� ��


    The few people that fell out of the void were precisely Long Xiao and the others!


    The powerhouses in Purpledragon Stronghold were all shocked until it could not be surpassed.


    Long Xiao this group of people killed people like flies, their evil doings knew no limits and had plagued Purpledragon Stronghold for many years.


    In order to capture Long Xiao and the rest, Purpledragon Stronghold had expended no idea how much manpower and material resources but returned without accomplishing anything.


    Today, this group of people was actually eradicated by the measly little Ye Yuan. How could they not be shocked?


    The world knew that it was extremely hard to jump realms and battle at Empyrean Realm.


    A second Firmament Empyrean versus a First Firmament Empyrean was virtually getting crushed.


    Even if your talent was unparalleled and combat strength monstrous, and could defeat a Second Firmament Empyrean as a First Firmament Empyrean, facing a Third Firmament Empyrean, there were no chances of victory at all.


    But Long Xiao was Fourth Firmament Empyrean, a middle-stage Empyrean super powerhouse!


    How could such a powerhouse get captured by Ye Yuan?


    ��Not greeting when you see an old friend?�� Ye Yuan looked at Ao Xu and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ao Xu��s heart shook wildly, he completely never thought that Ye Yuan would capture Long Xiao and his gang.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, being able to escape from under Long Xiao��s hands was already a stroke of luck, how could he possibly capture Long Xiao?


    But Ye Yuan did something that he could not imagine!


    Ao Xu finally knew where Ye Yuan��s confidence lied.


    However, how could he resign himself to death?


    ��What greeting? Long Xiao has done all sorts of evils and plagued a region. For Dragon Son Ye to be able to capture him, it��s the greatest good! Dragon Son Ye, I know that you were attacked by Long Xiao without cause, so you suspect me. But I, Ao Xu, assures that this is just a coincidence!�� Ao Xu was well-deserving of being a sly old fox, cutting off relations with a casual sentence.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, ��Oh? Just a coincidence huh? Long Xiao, you tell Ao Xu, was this matter a coincidence or not?��


    Long Xiao slowly lifted his head. He grinned, the scar on his face appearing even more hideous and horrifying.


    ��Dragon Son Ye, this matter was naturally a coincidence! What kind of status do I, Long Xiao, have? How can I possibly know an exalted Heavenly Emperor powerhouse? Kid, I don��t know what intentions you have, but if you want to use me to malign others, it��s impossible to prevail!�� Long Xiao said with a proud look.


    The moment these words came out, everyone revealed amused looks.


    Ao Xu was even happier in his heart. It was not one or two days that he had been controlling Long Xiao this group of people, he naturally had a score in his heart.


    Long Xiao was a clever person. Unless his brain was damaged, he would not betray him.


    Otherwise, Dragon Source Village would be completely destroyed!


    Ye Yuan��s face changed and he said in surprise and anger, ��Long Xiao, this isn��t what you told me previously! You �� You tricked me?��


    Long Xiao had an arrogant and unyielding look as he said with a cold smile, ��What did I say to you previously? I don��t know what grudge you have with this lord, but even though I, Long Xiao, have killed countless people, I��ve never been someone��s pawn! You want to make use of me? No chance!��


    Ye Yuan had a hesitant look and roared angrily, ��Long Xiao, I��ll kill you!��


    Under his rage, Ye Yuan smacked a palm out and was about to eradicate Long Xiao.


    Dragon Lord lightly flicked his sleeves. A gust of strong wind blew over, directly sending Ye Yuan flying out.


    ��Dragon Son Ye, this Long Xiao has plagued Purpledragon Stronghold for many years. He can��t die just like this. For you to be able to capture him over, this lord is very grateful. But if you want to kill him, there��s no way. Come, men, detain Bandit Xiao and await sentencing!�� Dragon Lord said coolly.


    Ao Xu was incomparably delighted with himself inwardly but put on a benign appearance as he said coolly, ��Dragon Son Ye, it��s all a misunderstanding between you and me. This emperor didn��t take good care of you and Long Xiaochun. It was this emperor��s blunder. This emperor �� apologizes to you.��


    ��You �� You��re really hypocritical! It was clearly you who instigated them, but now, you��re pretending to be a good person! You��re a bad guy! To think that I still trusted you so much!�� Long Xiaochun said in a frenzy of rage by the side.


    Ao Xu let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it. Looks like the misunderstanding towards this emperor is too big. I will take my leave.��


    As he spoke, Ao Xu��s figure flashed, disappearing.


    Dragon Lord said coolly, ��There��s a sudden turn of events today in the stronghold. The matter of setting off will be delayed for three days. Three days later, all of the dragon sons will head for Heavenly Dragon Mountain. Dragon Son Ye, you stay in the stronghold first.��


    No one could have thought that things would actually develop to such a step.


    Ye Yuan came in a threatening manner but became a joke in the end.


    Returning to the residence, Ao Xu��s gaze glinted, and he said with a cold sneer, ��Brat, you��re still ten thousand years too early to fight with this emperor! However, Long Xiao this group of people can��t be kept anymore! Something unforeseen will eventually happen with Dragon Lord keeping them.��

 Chapter 2161 - The Things That You Didn’t Expect Are Too Many!

    Deep in the night, inside the dungeon.


    A faint fragrance tunneled into the noses of the guards.


    Thud!


    Thud!


    Very soon, they fell down one after another.


    A man in black entered the dungeon seemingly like a ghost.


    ��Your Excellency!�� When Long Xiao saw the arrival, he had a look of wild elation, directly kneeling down.


    The black-clothed man nodded slowly and said coolly, ��Mn, today��s performance was pretty good. Indeed you didn��t disappoint this emperor.��


    Long Xiao said smugly, ��Of course! That brat wanted to make use of this lowly one to deal with you, but how can this lowly one let him have his way? That brat thought himself to be clever. Wasn��t he still toyed with by us?��


    This man in black was naturally none other than precisely Ao Xu!


    Ao Xu��s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, ��What the hell was with you guys? With your strength, how could you be captured by that kid?��


    Upon saying this, Long Xiao��s eyes immediately turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Your Excellency, you have to take revenge for us! This kid, he �� is too formidable. He killed �� all of my brothers!��


    Ao Xu��s expression changed wildly, and he said in shock and anger, ��How can this be?��


    Long Xiao practically recounted the events briefly with reddened eyes.


    As Ao Xu listened, he was wildly shocked in his heart.


    He thought that he already overestimated Ye Yuan a lot, but did not think that Ye Yuan was even more monstrous than he imagined!


    This kind of horrifying spatial law attainments played Long Xiao and the rest to death.


    In fact, even Long Xi, this Third Firmament Empyrean, died in the spatial collapse.


    At this moment, not only did Ao Xu not regret it, he felt that his way of doing things was very correct instead.


    If he let this boy grow up, how would Ao Yu matter anymore?


    ��This boy is truly a troublesome fellow! Alright, I��ve already put down the guards. You guys can leave! After going out, disappear for ten years. You��re not allowed to appear anymore!�� Ao Xu commanded.


    Long Xiao nodded his head and said, ��Many thanks, Your Excellency! Then that boy ����


    Ao Xu frowned and said, ��Is it your turn to come and tell this emperor how to do things?��


    Long Xiao was alarmed in his heart and repeatedly said that he dare not.


    But he sensed a thick killing intent from Ao Xu.


    Clearly, Ao Xu��s killing intent toward Ye Yuan grew even more.


    Ao Xu pointed at the void, the jail door opened with a sound.


    Long Xiao and the rest were overjoyed and gave a thousand thanks to Ao Xu.


    ��Alright, stop wasting time, if you get discovered by someone, you guys won��t be able to leave even if you wanted to anymore!�� Ao Xu said impatiently.


    How could Long Xiao and the rest still dare to stay? They hurriedly exited the dungeon.


    At the back, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ao Xu��s mouth. Waving his hand, he changed to the elder��s outfit that he normally wore.


    Long Xiao and the rest had just gone out of Purpledragon Stronghold when suddenly, flares rose from all directions at the back, someone cried out in surprise.


    The few people were frightened out of their wits, hurriedly fleeing like they were flying.


    But right at this time, a horrifying aura came from behind.


    ��Bold Bandit Xiao, to have the audacity to break out of prison and escape, deserve to be killed!�� This cry reverberated throughout the night. The entire Purpledragon Stronghold could hear it distinctly.


    The faces of Long Xiao and the rest changed wildly, this voice was none other than precisely Ao Xu��s!


    At this time, how could they still not understand what happened?


    Ao Xu was going to do away with the witnesses!


    Ao Xu did not want to let them go at all, but wanted to give himself an excuse to kill them open and aboveboard!


    How powerful was the might of a Heavenly Emperor?


    When Ao Xu��s palm smacked over, Long Xiao and the rest felt like the sky had fallen down.


    But just as they lost all hope, a gentle force suddenly appeared, and actually blocked this strike miraculously.


    Ao Xu��s expression changed wildly and he said in alarm and anger, ��Who is it?��


    Several figures emerged. The person at the front was precisely Dragon Lord!


    Beside the dragon lord, Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a look of amusement.


    Ao Xu��s heart thumped, how could he still not know that he had fallen into a trap?


    Dragon Lord stared at Ao Xu with a scorching gaze and said in a cold voice, ��Ao Xu, you disappoint this lord too much!��


    Ye Yuan turned to Long Xiao and said with a smile, ��How about it? I didn��t lie to you guys, right? You all are merely pawns of Ao Xu! Now, you guys are useless already. You naturally don��t need to live on this earth anymore.��


    Long Xiao was also a fierce and ambitious person of his generation. But at this time, his eyes were full of rage.


    They toiled like slaves for Ao Xu, living life on the edge of danger, and served for so many years. What it exchanged for was actually such an outcome.


    ��Ao Xu, it��s been so many years, even if us brothers didn��t make any contributions, there��s also hard work! You actually struck such a vicious blow! Brother Ye told us that you��ll kill us. But I, Long Xiao, didn��t believe it. I didn��t expect that you really dealt the blow!�� Long Xiao gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    At this time, Ao Xu already passed the initial panic and hesitation. His face recovered composure, and he said with a faint smile, ��You guys were merely a few dogs in my hands, isn��t your lives still up to my whims? Now, you all are already useless. So you naturally have to die!��


    ��You!�� Long Xiao also did not think that Ao Xu was actually so shameless, directly admitting it.


    Ao Xu ignored him and turned to look at Ye Yuan, saying with a smile, ��I really didn��t expect it, this emperor has roamed East Suppression Pseudo World unhindered for millions of years, I actually succumbed at the hands of a brat like you who is still wet behind his ears!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The things that you didn��t expect are too many, isn��t it so?��


    Ao Xu��s gaze turned cold, seemingly wanting to kill Ye Yuan.


    He exhausted every power of his mind and thought that having laid down an astonishing killing trap, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to escape alive.


    In the end, he did not expect that not only did Ye Yuan escape, he even captured Long Xiao.


    The secrets that Long Xiao grasped were too many. Once landed in Dragon Lord��s hands, he definitely would not have a good end.


    Hence, he willingly braved the risks and let Long Xiao go, and then kill them.


    Who would have thought that all this was within Ye Yuan��s calculations?


    He schemed all his life and even included Dragon Lord in his calculations, but lost at the hands of Ye Yuan, this brat who just made his world debut!


    This was the thing that he did not expect the most.


    Ao Xu laughed and said with a nod, ��That��s right! It was this emperor who underestimated you!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I originally couldn��t figure it out. I had no grudges nor enmity with you, why would you want to deal a deadly blow towards me? Only all the way until I arrived at Purpledragon Stronghold did I know that your nephew is a Son of the Heavenly Dragon too. It turns out that you took action for his sake.��


    Ao Xu��s expression changed and he said with a big laugh, ��Brat, what conniving cunningness you have, and what vicious means! When this emperor does something, it��s this emperor doing it. It has nothing to do with Ao Yu! Ao Zhen, I��m unconvinced! Why can you sit on the seat of a dragon lord, but I can��t!��


    Done talking, the imposing aura on Ao Xu��s body suddenly erupted, and he went for Dragon Lord.


    The horrifying Heavenly Emperor aura crushed until everyone could not catch their breaths.


    The strike of a Heavenly Emperor in anger was too horrifying!


    If the energy erupted, the entire Purpledragon Stronghold would be reduced to shambles!


    Ao Zhen sighed slightly and suddenly reached his hand out and grabbed at the void.


    A gentle force instantly compressed the entire space.


    Ao Xu��s force was actually unable to transmit out.


    Under this power, Ao Xu could not even resist and was directly eradicated.


    The might of Dragon Lord was utterly horrifying!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was also secretly shocked in his heart.


    This was a middle-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Initial-stage heavenly emperors were simply akin to ants in front of them! They could not even do anything in front of them!


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse of his generation, Ao Xu, fell here!


    In the darkness, Ao Yu looked at this scene with a calm expression and said coolly, ��Second Uncle, you won��t die in vain! This grudge, I��ll avenge it for you!��

 Chapter 2162 - You have an Objection?

    Ao Xu��s demise set off a huge shock in Purpledragon Stronghold.


    No one would have thought that Ao Xu was actually really the main culprit behind Bandit Xiao!


    Those who were still mocking previously, the dragons who were ridiculing Ye Yuan, they were all silent and said nothing at this time.


    Only at this time did they suddenly come to realize the truth that Ye Yuan did not turn angry from embarrassment at all. There was no bewilderment at all.


    He really had a well-thought-out plan and dug a pit waiting for Ao Xu to jump!


    A little fellow actually scammed a Heavenly Emperor to death, this kind of thing was truly inconceivable.


    ��Turns out that Ao Xu was really the main culprit behind Bandit Xiao, we wronged Ye Yuan!��


    ��Sigh, if Ao Xu really remained beyond the arm of the law, then we��d all be accessory to a tyrant��s crimes!��


    ��For so many years, the various major black strongholds and earth strongholds all have their entire beings shaking when mentioning Xiao. Today, everyone can finally heave a sigh in relief.��


    ��Yeah, we all have to thank Dragon Son Ye. He did something that even the dragon lord could not accomplish!��


    �� ��


    There were also quite a number of people who knew their error and had an appearance of lingering fear in their hearts.


    But toward Ye Yuan, everyone felt quite indebted toward Ye Yuan.


    These few years, in order to kill Long Xiao this group of people, Purpledragon Stronghold could be said to have suffered heavy casualties.


    Ye Yuan��s action achieved the greatest good.


    ��Dragon Son Ye, it was all thanks to you this time, otherwise, this lord wouldn��t have known how long this traitor has been hoodwinking all of us!�� Dragon Lord Ao Zhen said with clasped hands.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Dragon Lord, you don��t need to be like this. Actually, you also had suspicions toward Ao Xu, isn��t that so? This time, you merely pushed the boat along the current.��


    Ao Xu put in painstaking effort, wanting to prop Ao Yu up to a high position.


    While he could also seize this opportunity and soar to the sky with one bound, or even ascend to the position of a dragon lord.


    How could Ao Zhen not know these thoughts?


    It was just that he did think that Ao Xu actually concealed so deeply, colluding with wicked bandits in secret and plagued a region, causing Purpledragon Stronghold to not know peace.


    And Ye Yuan��s incident this time was merely an opportunity to erupt.


    Ao Zhen looked at Ye Yuan meaningfully and said with a smile, ��Dragon Son Ye has a meticulous mind and outstanding talent. You��ll surely have great accomplishments in the future! The journey to Heavenly Dragon Mountain this time, this lord wishes Dragon Son Ye speedy success!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I thank Dragon Lord for your auspicious blessings! Dragon Lord, this Ye has a presumptuous request. I hope that dragon lord will agree to it.��


    Ao Zhen��s two eyes narrowed and he said, ��You want Long Xiao?��


    Talking with smart people saved energy.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, it was considered to have tacitly agreed to it.


    Ao Zhen shook his head and said, ��The crimes that Long Xiao has committed these few years are too numerous to be recorded! Not killing him, it will be insufficient to appease the fury of the masses!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��State your terms then!��


    Ao Zhen laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You little baby, really give people a headache! Want Long Xiao, you have to represent Purpledragon Stronghold in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time and take the top spot!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Deal!��


    Ao Zhen smiled and said, ��You seem very confident.��


    Ye Yuan similarly smiled and said, ��Don��t you have a lot of faith in me? Otherwise, you should have said these words to Ao Yu.��


    Although Ao Xu died, this did not affect Ao Yu��s status in Purpledragon Stronghold.


    The level of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon was far from heaven strongholds but at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain!


    To the dragon lord, their eyes were also set on the Heavenly Dragon Mountain.


    That place was the Dragon Clan��s true holy land!


    Ye Yuan understood Ao Zhen��s request very well.


    As long as he won the top spot, Heavenly Dragon Mountain would bestow many precious resources.


    At that time, Ao Zhen would have hopes of assaulting late-stage Heavenly Emperor Realm, and he would become a true major power existence.


    Of course, he would also finally have the qualifications to enter Heavenly Dragon Mountain!


    As for whatever Long Xiao, in the eyes of powerhouses like Ao Zhen, he was just an inconsequential crawling bug, what has his life or death got to do with him?


    Although this East Suppression Pseudo World was the Dragon Clan��s territory, it was also not a land of great unity.


    The Dragon Clan was indeed powerful, but if there were no conflicts and no competition, they would similarly decline.


    Hence, among the various major heaven strongholds and earth strongholds, there were endless disputes too.


    And Long Xiao this kind of existence was merely some flavor enhancer.


    If Ao Zhen personally took action, wouldn��t capturing a puny little Long Xiao still be easily accomplished?


    It was just that he was disdainful to do it.


    �� ��


    At the Heavenly Dragon Mountain, clouds coiled up, immortal qi lingering, it was not like what the mortal world should have.


    Arriving at the foot of Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ye Yuan only felt like it was like facing the Heavenspan Mountain, giving people an unfathomable feeling.


    Only when one��s strength reached Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor and became a late-stage Heavenly Emperor supreme powerhouse did one have the qualifications to be called a Heavenly Dragon and enter Heavenly Dragon Mountain!


    This place was where the true nucleus of the Dragon Clan was. It was the Dragon Clan��s paramount totem.


    Seeing such power and influence, Ye Yuan could not help being shocked in his heart.


    Being able to open up such a powerful pseudo world, the Dragon Clan��s power and foundation were truly unfathomable.


    ��Heh, like a bumpkin, saw the Heavenly Dragon Mountain and got stunned, right?�� Ao Yu��s mocking voice came from the back.


    ��Outsider bumpkin, probably haven��t even entered a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda before. How could he have seen before the Heavenly Dragon Mountain��s magnificence!�� Ao Zhong also said with a scornful look.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across the two people��s faces and said with a light smile, ��Endure the whole way, finally can��t hold back anymore, right? Ao Yu, I did away with your second uncle. You could actually endure until now, this Ye admires.��


    Ao Yu��s face turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, don��t you get cocky! The Battle of Dragon Sons this time will be the battle where you fall!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard it and said, ��Why would I not be cocky? I want to be cocky! I killed a Heavenly Emperor, such a refreshing thing is sufficient for me to be arrogant for ten thousand years! In the future, I��ll tell everyone I meet that I ended a Heavenly Emperor, and that person was your, Ao Yu��s, second uncle! Do you have an objection?��


    ��Pfft!�� The Long Xiaochun by the side could not hold back anymore and snickered.


    Ye Yuan this fellow really did not use a word of vulgarity when trolling people.


    Looking at Ao Yu��s face, it practically turned green.


    The resources that Ao Xu had secretly gotten for so many years, the vast majority were all used on Ao Yu. Therefore, he regarded Ao Xu, his second uncle, highly.


    Now, Ye Yuan kept babbling on about how he dispatched his second uncle, it was equivalent to tearing at his scar, showing off his cleverness after coming off cheap. How could it not enrage him?


    Ao Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Good! Very good! Ye Yuan, looks like you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! There��s lots of time. You won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Even your second uncle, this Heavenly Emperor, was finished off by me. So who the hell are you? You��re not qualified enough to threaten me yet!��


    Ao Yu was angered until his face was livid and he said with a cold sneer, ��Huhu! Although I don��t know what scheme or trick you used, Long Xiao is absolutely not who you can subdue! The Battle of Dragon Sons, what it relies on is all genuine ability! Want to resort to trickery? No chance! You just wait to suffer my wrath!��


    Indeed, for Ye Yuan to be able to subdue Long Xiao and his gang, he had the advantage of the terrain.


    If not for that area of spatial rifts being extremely unstable, it would have been impossible for Ye Yuan to want to trap Long Xiao to death.


    Let alone force Long Xiao to surrender.


    ��Is that so? Then your wrath, it has to be a little more fierce. I��m afraid that �� it��s not enough to whet my appetite,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Toward Ao Yu��s threat, Ye Yuan did not take it seriously.


    With his current strength, even when facing off against a Third Firmament Empyrean, he also had the ability to protect himself.


    Ao Yu was merely a peak Second Firmament Empyrean, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously.


    What he truly minded were those Third Firmament Empyrean Sons of the Heavenly Dragon!

 Chapter 2163 - Kneeling neither to Heaven nor Earth!

    ��Alright, Dragon Sons, stop arguing. Whatever grudges you have, you can naturally settle it in the Mist Battlefield.��


    At this time, the protector elder, Ao Qi, who was leading the team finally stepped forward to speak.


    Those present were all Sons of the Heavenly Dragon and were also existences that had the hopes of advancing to be a Heavenly Dragon.


    Although he was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he could not afford to provoke a single one.


    But if he still did not speak at this time, both sides were probably going to start fighting.


    ��Humph!�� Ao Yu snorted coldly and stopped talking.


    Ao Qi said coolly, ��Alright, it��s almost time. We should enter the Heavenly Dragon Mountain!��


    It was only to see him flick his sleeves grandly. The few people were virtually unable to resist and were brought by him flying toward Heavenly Dragon Mountain.


    Ye Yuan only saw a blur before his eyes, and he arrived on a platform very soon.


    Above the platform, it was still blocked by a cloud of fog, unable to see clearly.


    Ye Yuan could feel that although they had already entered the Heavenly Dragon Mountain here, it was just the foot of Heavenly Dragon Mountain.


    Upon entering Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ye Yuan felt that the spiritual energy was extremely abundant, not beneath the Heavenspan Mountain��s.


    Sure enough, this place was an excellent venue for cultivation. No wonder even Ao Zhen that kind of powerhouse wanted to enter this place too.


    At this time, there were already quite a number of youngsters standing on the platform. These people all had a Heavenly Dragon Mark at their glabella area. Clearly, they were all Sons of the Heavenly Dragon.


    ��It��s Purpledragon Stronghold��s people. Huhu, the last time, Purpledragon Stronghold was at the bottom. The ones that came this time are also nothing much!��


    ��Weaklings will always be weaklings. Even if they became a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, they are also a bunch of trash!��


    ��If I had to say, Purpledragon Stronghold��s qualification should just be directly revoked! They actually sent a First Firmament Empyrean over this time, looks like Purpledragon Stronghold really has no one.��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan and the rest still had not stood firmly when a series of mockery immediately came over.


    Those Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were clearly very unfriendly toward Purpledragon Stronghold. Each and every one of them had looks of amusement on their faces.


    Ao Qi��s expression was very ugly, but the status of these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were all higher than him, he really could not talk back.


    Purpledragon Stronghold��s people, including Ao Yu, each and every one of their expressions was very ugly.


    ��Ao Qi, it��s you leading the team this time again? During the last time, your Purpledragon Stronghold was virtually completely wiped out. Only one escaped from the Mist Battlefield and even had his Heavenly Dragon Mark stripped. Is that boy dead yet?�� Not far away, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse said with a look of ridicule.


    Ao Qi��s face fell and he said, ��Long Zifeng, you guys mere took fifth place and you��re already arrogant until like this?��


    Long Zifeng laughed loudly and said, ��In front of Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, I naturally don��t dare to be arrogant. But in front of your Purpledragon Stronghold, this emperor naturally has the capital to be arrogant! Furthermore, the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, our Cloud Dragon Stronghold��s Long Seven has the potential to aim for the top three!��


    Ao Qi smiled coldly and he said, ��Top three, you really dare to say that! Putting aside the Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, Black Dragon Stronghold and Auspicious Dragon Stronghold both have extremely strong bloodlines. Just the likes of you guys also want to enter the top three?��


    Long Zifeng had a smug look as he said, ��Long Seven already awoken two innate divine abilities. Furthermore, his Heavenly Dragon Mark already awoken! Do you think he has the strength to enter the top three?��


    Heavenly Dragon Mark was not just a symbol of status.


    That was the powerful strength that Heavenly Dragon Mountain bestowed on ordinary dragons. Once awaken the Heavenly Dragon Mark, one would obtain powerful strength and could let their martial techniques and divine abilities obtain varying degrees of augmentation, the power being boundless.


    Of course, wanting to awaken the Heavenly Dragon Mark, one also needs tremendous lucky chance and talent in itself.


    Among the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present, there were scanty few capable of awakening the Heavenly Dragon Mark.


    Furthermore, the dragon race��s innate divine abilities were even harder to awaken than the Qilin Clan. Furthermore, the power of each kind of innate divine ability was tremendous.


    Long Seven actually awakened two innate divine abilities, his strength could be imagined!


    Hearing Long Zifeng��s smug voice, the faces of many Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present changed slightly.


    If it was really as Long Zifeng said, he would really have hopes of entering the top three!


    ��All came huh.�� At this time, an illusory voice suddenly sounded out in everyone��s ears.


    A sagely-looking old man slowly came down from the clouds and landed on the platform.


    The group of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, including Heavenly Emperors, knelt down one after another when they saw this old man.


    ��We pay respects to Lord Morningstar!��


    When Ye Yuan looked at the old man, his pupils could not help shrinking.


    This old man gave him an unfathomable feeling. His aura was not beneath Ji Mo��s!


    This was also to say that this old man was surely a late-stage Heavenly Emperor terrifying existence.


    But this old man was much lousier compared to that one he met in the Dragon Eye Cave.


    Morningstar swept a glance, but his gaze landed on Ye Yuan.


    When Ao Yu saw this scene, he could not help smiling coldly.


    At this time, everyone knelt down, only Ye Yuan alone stood there like a wooden rod, appearing extremely towering.


    This brat had eyes but could not see. When he saw Lord Morningstar, he actually did not fall to his knees, this was asking for trouble!


    Even if one was a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, their status would also be inferior to a genuine Lord Heavenly Dragon.


    In front of a Lord Heavenly Dragon, even a Dragon Lord was also merely mediocre.


    ��Ye Yuan, this is Lord Morningstar! Lord Morningstar is a Heavenly Dragon, his status being most lofty. Why haven��t you paid respects?�� Ao Qi said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I, Ye Yuan, kneel to neither Heaven nor Earth, only to my parents! I can bow, but kneeling �� forget it!��


    Ao Yu sneered and said, ��Fool! Courting death!��


    Heavenly Emperors did not have the authority to kill Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, but Heavenly Dragons did!


    Even if Morningstar would not casually kill people, punishing could be done.


    ��Hahaha, a fine kneeling to neither Heaven nor Earth! Ye Yuan, hope that you still have this kind of breadth of spirit when you reach my level of boundary!�� Morningstar said with a loud laugh.


    ��Senior Morningstar, rest assured. Ye Yuan��s heart will never change!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He said so and also did so.


    Morningstar sized Ye Yuan up rather interestedly and said, ��You��re the newly promoted Son of the Heavenly Dragon, Ye Yuan?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Precisely so.��


    Morningstar said, ��Good, hope that you won��t let this emperor down in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I definitely won��t let Senior down.��


    Morningstar nodded slightly, but beckoned his hand at Long Xiaochun and said, ��Xiaochun, come over.��


    Ao Yu was stunned, a baffled look on his face.


    It was over just like that?


    On what basis?


    Disrespect towards a Heavenly Dragon was a major offense!


    A powerful like Morningstar did not allow the slightest bit of disobedience at all.


    But he let Ye Yuan off just like that so easily?


    Ao Yu knelt on the ground, his face vacant, disbelief on his face.


    Not just him, everyone was incomparably shocked.


    A haughty fellow like Ye Yuan, shouldn��t Lord Morningstar have smacked him to death with one slap?


    They did not understand, but Ye Yuan had some guesses.


    Most likely, the way he obtained the Heavenly Dragon Mark was different from the others.


    The existence in the Dragon Eye Cave was definitely not an ordinary Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    It might even be a level of existence like Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Toward that kind of existence, Ye Yuan still did not have a concept at present. But he had a blurry understanding of it. It did not seem as simple as just there being a massive chasm between Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor.


    Long Xiaochun was like a startled rabbit. Pursing her mouth, she shuffled her feet over to Morningstar��s side and called in a low voice, ��Grandpa Morningstar.��


    Morningstar rebuked her and said, ��You lass! This time, you must go up the Heavenly Dragon Mountain with me!��

 Chapter 2164 - A Thousand Years Later

    ��I �� I��m not going! What��s good about the Heavenly Dragon Mountain? It��s like a cage!�� Long Xiaochun said unwillingly.


    Everyone was rendered speechless. Everyone wanted to go up Heavenly Dragon Mountain even in their dreams, this little girl was actually not willing!


    She should not make fun of people like this!


    Morningstar pulled a long face and said, ��This is your fate! No matter whether you��re willing or not, you have to accept this arrangement. A great era is about to arrive. Only by possessing sufficient strength, can one survive, and can our Dragon Clan last!��


    Long Xiaochun��s head shook like a rattle drum, and she said, ��I don��t want means I don��t want! I still want to follow Ye Yuan and roam the Heavenspan World!��


    Long Xiaochun threw a tantrum, giving Morningstar a headache.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised though. He did not expect that this little girl actually already made up her mind to go out with him.


    One should not look at how Long Xiaochun was normally happy-go-lucky Once this lass decided on something, even nine Heavenly Dragons could not pull her back either.


    But in this aspect, this girl was rather similar to him.


    Morningstar glared, the sullen rage of a Heavenly Dragon quietly erupted. Everyone present felt tremendous pressure and could not help prostrating even lower.


    That was the pressure originating from the bloodline!


    ��Time waits for no man! Lass, if you still don��t enter the Heavenly Dragon Mountain this time, this emperor will be forcefully bringing you up.��


    Long Xiaochun��s stubborn temper flared up too, and she said angrily, ��Grandpa Morningstar, if you dare to forcefully bring me up, I��ll cry every day for you to see!��


    Morningstar��s face turned black. Thinking about this girl��s destructive power, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.


    Of course, although this destructive power was not to the extent of causing any damage to Heavenly Dragon Mountain, sending it into a tizzy could not be avoided.


    Morningstar immediately felt his head swell. He looked at Long Xiaochun and billowed his beard as he glared and actually did not know what he should do for some time.


    The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present were all incomparably shocked in their hearts.


    They were still curious previously. Long Xiaochun did not have a Heavenly Dragon Mark. So why would she come to the Battle of Dragon Sons.


    Looking at it now, Long Xiaochun��s identity was extraordinary!


    They could all tell that even though Morningstar was angered until he was billowing his beard and glaring, he had a kind of unspeakable doting toward Long Xiaochun.


    It seemed like Long Xiaochun was the Dragon Clan��s future!


    While they, these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, were merely dregs.


    ��You �� You lass, angering this emperor to death!�� Morningstar nearly jumped up.


    Seeing Morningstar��s appearance, Long Xiaochun felt pleased with herself.


    Either way, she did not want to go up the Heavenly Dragon Mountain and also did not want to cultivate.


    ��Senior Morningstar, let me try!�� Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up.


    Morningstar gave him a glance, shook his head, and said, ��It��s no use! This lass, even her mother can��t put her in place.��


    While Long Xiaochun looked at Ye Yuan vigilantly and said, ��Ye Yuan, just whose side are you standing on? No need to urge me! Either way, I won��t go up Heavenly Dragon Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Girlie, with my talent, how big do you think that gap between you and me will be after a thousand years?��


    Long Xiaochun was taken aback, she really never considered this problem before.


    But the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon by the side, each and every one of them revealed disdainful looks.


    ��This guy is really cocky!��


    ��A thousand years time, how big a gap can there be?��


    Ao Yu knew more than the others and said with a cold smile, ��Long Xiaochun��s cultivation talent is extremely high. She would also have a middle-stage Empyrean cultivation no matter what after a thousand years! Could it be that he can cultivate to the late-stage Empyrean Realm?��


    Saying that Ye Yuan could cultivate to the late-stage Empyrean Realm a thousand years later, he did not believe it even if beaten to death.


    The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon present, each one was a genius in cultivation, who could be lousier than Ye Yuan?


    Even they did not dare talk about how it would be like a thousand years later.


    What basis did this brat have?


    However, Long Xiaochun held her head in her hand and pondered for a while, and said seriously, ��A thousand years later, you can probably kill me by puffing out a breath ����


    ��W-What?��


    Ao Yu somewhat doubted his own ears. The other Sons of the Heavenly Dragon��s faces also had stunned looks.


    They all, these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, were all very close in strength.


    A thousand years, a distinction could not be made at all.


    But Long Xiaochun said that a thousand years later, he would be able to kill her by puffing out a breath!


    This kind of thing was very easy to understand when place on geniuses and mortals.


    But between geniuses, it was simply a fantasy tale.


    Indignance!


    Displeasure!


    Disdain!


    Many emotions interwoved together, making the atmosphere on the platform became strange.


    Even Morningstar��s pupils also constricted slightly. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became different.


    Others did not understand, but Long Xiaochun herself understood it very well. This appraisal was not over the top.


    It might even be low!


    How much time had passed since she met Ye Yuan in the Westspirit Region?


    Ye Yuan��s realm and strength soared by more than one or two levels!


    When she first met Ye Yuan, Long Xiaochun could blast Ye Yuan to death with one punch.


    But now, she was already far from Ye Yuan��s match.


    A thousand years later �� only ghosts knew what kind of realm Ye Yuan would reach!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��At that time, even if I bring you by my side, will �� you follow me by my side?��


    Long Xiaochun blinked twice and shook her head and said, ��No!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Moreover, a turbulent era is arriving. Nobody can escape by sheer luck as well. Your mother, your clansmen, all of them getting caught in the fires of war. You will need power to protect them. Only then did you discover that you don��t have that strength; will you be in despair?��


    Ye Yuan let out a heavy sigh and said, ��I �� have once experienced this kind of powerless moment. Hence, I have to continuously become strong, become strong until no one can surpass me! Only when you grasp true power can you truly be free and unfettered in this world.��


    ��Alright, alright! I got it! I��ll go up Heavenly Dragon Mountain!�� Long Xiaochun pursed her mouth and said unwillingly.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Cultivate well. In the future, you and I, brother and sister, join hands and roam the world unmatched!��


    Cocky!


    Too cocky!


    Who the hell are you, still roam the world unmatched!


    The group of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon was already ticked off by the side.


    If not for Morningstar being by the side, they would likely have joined hands to cripple Ye Yuan.


    Aren��t you unmatched? I��ll make you unmatched!


    But these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon��s anger was already completely stoked.


    Everyone��s gazes were gathered on Ye Yuan, treating him as their enemy.


    Long Xiaochun looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��That��s what you said! When I have achievements in cultivation, you have to bring me to the Heavenspan World to play!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Relax, I, Ye Yuan, am a man of my word!��


    When Morningstar saw this scene, he could not help having a stupefied look on his face.


    Heavenly Dragon Mountain had thought of no idea how many ways to make Long Xiaochun go up the mountain.


    Using both soft and hard tactics, adopting every possible means.


    But this lass was impervious to everything and refused to go up the mountain no matter what.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan convinced this girl with a few words.


    Morningstar looked at Ye Yuan, his interest in him growing stronger.


    His earlier attitude toward Ye Yuan was naturally because he was different from the rest.


    Heavenly Dragon Mark was automatically formed when the Dragon Mark Monument sensed the bloodline power of the various strongholds�� junior generation.


    But Ye Yuan��s Heavenly Dragon Mark was engraved on the Dragon Mark Monument artificially!


    This showed that there was definitely a major power in the clan who bestowed upon Ye Yuan the Heavenly Dragon Mark!

 Chapter 2165 - Really Weak!

    Among the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, a youth with thick eyebrows said with a light laugh, ��Heh, Brother Long Yuan, you seem to have been looked down upon!��


    A hint of disdain flashed across the eyes of the youth with an impressive presence beside, and he said coolly, ��The ignorant are fearless, that��s all! My Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s awe-inspiring reputation isn��t from talking about it. Long Jingyuan, you have no chance too.��


    Long Jingyuan laughed and said, ��Our score, talk about it again later. But this brat is so arrogant. I��m very annoyed!��


    Long Yuan said coolly, ��Just a completely useless person! When I run into him in the Mist Battlefield, I��ll end him with one punch!��


    Long Jingyuan smiled and said, ��Hope that he doesn��t run into you or me, otherwise �� hehe.��


    By the side, there were quite a few Sons of the Heavenly Dragon who heard the two people��s discussion, and all responded with cold smiles.


    Long Yuan and Long Jinyuan, one came from Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, one came from Black Dragon Stronghold.


    These two great heaven strongholds were universally recognized as the strongest bloodline and also the strongest heaven strongholds.


    Ye Yuan��s unintentional words clearly already provoked their anger.


    Seeing Ye Yuan convinced Long Xiaochun, Morningstar was greatly comforted, and he could not help laughing as he said, ��I didn��t expect that you, this lass, actually also have times when you yielded to people.��


    Long Xiaochun shot him a fierce glare and hid at one side to restrain her anger.


    ��Alright, it��s almost time. This emperor will send you all into the Mist Battlefield. I wish you all good luck!��


    Done talking, Morningstar pointed a finger, a large hole was torn open in the void.


    Ye Yuan felt the Heavenly Dragon Mark on his forehead suddenly heat up, and his body flew toward the large hole involuntarily.


    After all of the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon flew into the Mist Battlefield, a huge image appeared above the void.


    On the screen, all the figures of the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon could be seen clearly.


    The group of Heavenly Emperors was on tiptoes in anticipation, all hoping for their Son of the Heavenly Dragon to be able to show a good performance.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he arrived in a cloud of fog.


    In the fog, north, south, east, west, could not be distinguished.


    Ye Yuan mustered up his ocular art and was barely able to see clearly the situation within a hundred feet.


    ��This is the Mist Battlefield? It looks like a maze! However �� dragon origin crystals makes me look forward to it very much!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    In the Mist Battlefield, the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon would meet randomly.


    Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were able to rely on the Heavenly Dragon Mark to sense nearby dragon origin crystals.


    Dragon origin crystals were a special product of the Heavenly Dragon Mountain, and also the Dragon Clan��s priceless treasure!


    Refining dragon origin crystals could evolve bloodline power and let the dragon race bloodline become purer. Cultivation would naturally speed up as well.


    Furthermore, dragon origin crystals were also the key to activating the Heavenly Dragon Mark.


    As long as one absorbed a certain amount of dragon origin crystals, they would be able to activate the Heavenly Dragon Mark.


    But how much one absorbed varied from person to person.


    Suddenly, a surge of powerful law power descended. Ye Yuan felt that his vital energy was suppressed to initial-stage rank seven by this power of law.


    When the realm was different, the disparity was too great.


    Similarly a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, this kind of gap could not be made up for at all.


    Hence, in this Mist Battlefield, it would suppress the power of vital energy, making the group of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon be at the same level.


    However, even if the realm was suppressed, the strength of the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon still had some differences.


    Sons of the Heavenly Dragon whose cultivation realms were high clearly had more advantage.


    ��But sadly, this kind of suppressing power is completely useless to me!��


    Ye Yuan revolved his own chaos world power and easily blocked this law power outside.


    His chaos world power was not within the five elements and did not get affected by outside forces at all.


    Ye Yuan��s current realm was just newly into Chaos Realm, but his chaos world power was far stronger than those in the same rank. It was roughly equivalent to middle-stage First Firmament Empyrean Realm.


    This difference of half a rank was sufficient for him to crush his peers.


    Let alone that he was even of the perfect seventh transformation golden body.


    At this time, Ye Yuan felt his glabella heat up. Very soon, he sensed the location of dragon origin crystals.


    Winding around for a while, Ye Yuan saw a piece of white crystal growing on the ground very quickly. It was precisely a dragon origin crystal.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked over and plucked off the dragon origin crystal.


    Feeling the powerful bloodline power in the dragon origin crystal, Ye Yuan could not help feeling an upsurge of emotion.


    ��Put down the dragon origin crystal! You can scram already!�� Right at this time, a haughty voice came from the opposite.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked over, but it was an unfamiliar Son of the Heavenly Dragon.


    ��If I don��t put it down?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    The other party said with a cold smile, ��Heh, refusing face when given! Do you know who I am?��


    Ye Yuan put away the dragon origin crystal and shook his head as he said, ��Don��t know, and not interested in knowing either.��


    When the other party saw that Ye Yuan did not take him seriously at all, his gaze could not help turning cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��To dare make light of someone from Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, courting death!��


    He was called Long Zheng, Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s number three person, his strength being rather formidable.


    Furthermore, he already unlocked the Heavenly Dragon Mark too!


    At the outside world, the group of heavenly emperors responded with cold smiles.


    ��Huhu, this kid is so rampant, suffered retribution now, right? The first one and he bumped into Long Zheng,�� Long Zifeng could not help laughing as he said.


    A heaven stronghold��s elder said, ��Long Zheng��s strength should be able to rank in the top ten among this batch of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, right? This kid really struck the jackpot!��


    Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s protector elder, Long Tianyu, said nonchalantly, ��This kid boasted pretty big. I wonder how much ability he has.��


    Clearly, he was 100% confident in Long Zheng.


    His Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s bloodline was extremely strong. The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon in the clan, their strength far surpassed other heaven strongholds.


    Long Zheng was ranked third in Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, but when placed in other heaven strongholds, he absolutely had the strength to contend for first place.


    ��Tsk! Just you watch, Ye Yuan will take him down with one hand!�� Long Xiaochun was indignant and immediately retorted Long Tianyu.


    Long Tianyu could not help choking. Giving a cold snort, he did not say anymore.


    Long Xiaochun��s status was clearly not ordinary, so he did not dare to easily get angry either.


    But with regards to Long Xiaochun��s words, Long Tianyu did not believe it at all.


    Ye Yuan just broke through to the Empyrean Realm not long ago. He definitely did not even awaken his innate divine abilities. So how was he to fight?


    ��True Dragon Trampling the Heavens!��


    Under Long Zheng��s fury, it was the Universe Dragon Claw��s second form with a raise of his hand.


    It was only to see his glabella mark flashed. The power of True Dragon Trampling the Heavens actually skyrocketed a fold!


    This power could virtually sweep across those in the same rank.


    Ye Yuan looked at this move and could not help finding it funny.


    ��This is your reliance? Really weak!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. Long Zheng did not see him make any incredible move either. Ye Yuan just threw a punch out indifferently.


    Seeing Ye Yuan treat him without proper respect like this, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Long Zheng��s mouth.


    ��Courting death!��


    Then there was a bang.


    The true dragon phantom that Long Zheng fired out directly broke apart, while his chest seemed to have been struck by a sledgehammer, directly spurting out a mouthful of fresh blood, flying out backward.


    All of the heavenly emperors�� bodies virtually quivered at the same time.


    ��This �� This is impossible!��


    ��He didn��t use any martial technique and defeated Long Zheng just based on the power of the fleshy body?��


    ��Too fake! Could it be that this boy used some evil art?��


    �� ��


    The group of heavenly emperors was full of disbelief. Ye Yuan clearly did not use any martial technique but defeated his foe with one punch.


    This kind of thing would only happen when someone at a higher realm crushed a lower realm.


    Similarly a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, furthermore, everyone��s realm was at the same level, so how could Ye Yuan do it to this degree?

 Chapter 2166 - Still Too Weak

    ��Hehe, what did I say? Ye Yuan brought him down with one hand!��


    Long Xiaochun hid behind Morningstar, having a smug look on her face.


    She had personally judged Ye Yuan��s strength before.


    In the same rank, there was basically no chance of wanting to beat Ye Yuan.


    Let alone that Long Zheng who was not considered the strongest in this batch of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon.


    A hint of surprise also flashed across Morningstar��s eyes. Clearly, Ye Yuan��s strength far exceeded his imagination.


    In the fog, Long Zheng crawled to his feet, a look of alarm and anger on his face.


    His thoughts were the same as Long Yuan, that this punk was just a braggart.


    But it was this braggart who defeated him without even using a martial technique.


    A proud genius could not endure such a humiliation!


    Long Zheng gritted his teeth and roared furiously, ��Punk, you forced me! I��ll let you take a look at my true strength!��


    On his glabella, the Heavenly Dragon Mark started burning like a blazing fire.


    An enormous true dragon phantom with its gaping maws wide open appeared behind Long Zheng.


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, and he revealed a look of amusement as he said with a light smile, ��Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter! Huhu, a little interesting! But this move being unleashed in your hands, it is too weak!��


    The same move, when used by different people, the power was totally different.


    Differences in bloodline power, differences in Heavenly Dragon Mark, different strength of the physical body, it would all affect the move��s power.


    This Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter move was the dragon race��s innate divine ability. It could summon the spirit of a true dragon to attack the opponent, the power immense.


    It was just that Long Zheng��s move was not brilliant the way Ye Yuan looked at it.


    Long Zheng had always been proud. Apart from Long Yuan, and Long Qian who was ranked second in Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, he did not place anyone in his sights.


    Today, he was actually being looked down upon by his opponent like so. How could he not be furious?


    ��Punk, the outcome of looking down on the Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s Son of the Heavenly Dragon is death!�� Long Zheng was greatly enraged as he roared.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and took a step out. The image of a dragon also surfaced behind him.


    This move was shockingly precisely the True Dragon Trampling the Heavens that Long Zheng used before earlier!


    ��So what if innate divine ability? Today, I��ll let you see that the same move in different people��s hands, the power is totally different!��


    Ye Yuan laughed lightly and suddenly struck a palm out.


    The dragon image behind him practically turned corporeal, flying over toward Long Zheng with a roar.


    Ye Yuan��s dragon image had a fundamental difference from Long Zheng��s Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter.


    Innate divine abilities, those were blessings from a true dragon. It was summoning the origin power of the dragon race to battle.


    While the dragon image that True Dragon Trampling the Heavens summoned was merely condensed with Ye Yuan��s own vital energy.


    The two were on completely different levels in terms of quality.


    Long Zheng��s Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter completely beat Ye Yuan in terms of quality.


    But when the two powerful moves collided together, Long Zheng immediately felt a force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas transmitting over from the other party.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s dragon image crushed the Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter like crushing dead leaves, then it bombarded against Long Zheng��s body.


    Long Zheng spurted fresh blood wildly, directly being blasted beneath the earth.


    At the outside world, the faces of all the heavenly emperors changed drastically.


    ��True Dragon Trampling the Heavens defeated Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter? My �� My eyesight isn��t failing, right?��


    ��This is too illogical! No matter how strong True Dragon Trampling the Heavens this move is, it��s also impossible to deal with Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter, right?��


    ��How could it be like this? How could it be like this!��


    �� ��


    The heavenly emperor powerhouses all felt that it was hard to understand. Innate divine ability being stronger than ordinary martial techniques, this was universally acknowledged.


    After all, ordinary martial techniques could be cultivated, while innate divine abilities could only be comprehended by relying on oneself.


    Weak dragons were unable to comprehend a single innate divine ability for life.


    Only Sons of the Heavenly Dragon could comprehend one or two.


    In everyone��s understanding, only innate divine abilities could deal with innate divine abilities.


    Unable to comprehend, there was only being crushed all the way.


    But now, the innate divine ability that everyone viewed as a sharp weapon was actually defeated by Ye Yuan with an ordinary martial technique!


    True Dragon Trampling the Heavens was strong, but in front of innate divine ability, it was too weak.


    But Ye Yuan relied on this martial technique and defeated the innate divine ability, Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter!


    This result shocked people too greatly.


    Morningstar��s eyes glimmered and he suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Girl, is this boy �� of the perfect seventh transformation golden body?��


    Long Xiaochun giggled and said, ��It��s still Grandpa Morningstar who has keen eyes! How is it? He��s impressive, right?��


    ��What? P-Perfect seventh transformation!�� Long Zifeng had a look of shock, disbelief written all over his face.


    A perfect sixth transformation was already incredibly rare, while a perfect seventh transformation was practically extinct!


    The group of heavenly emperors was shocked until they could not close their mouths, looking at that figure on the light screen in disbelief.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Morningstar��s eyes and he said with a slight nod, ��No wonder! No matter how trashy the martial technique, when executed with perfect seventh transformation, the power will also skyrocket, let alone talk about the dragon race��s supreme martial technique, Universe Dragon Claw!��


    ��A perfect seventh transformation! How many years has a perfect seventh transformation not appeared in my Dragon Clan? This brat actually achieved a perfect seventh transformation at a young age!�� Long Tianyu said with surprise.


    ��Long Tianyu, looks like your Heavenly Dragon Stronghold has met its match this time!�� Black Dragon Stronghold��s elder said with a smile.


    Long Tianyu��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��You all will witness Long Yuan��s true strength very soon, so what if �� it��s the perfect seventh transformation?��


    The moment these words came out, the group of heavenly emperors had strange expressions.


    It seemed like Long Yuan��s strength was really very strong!


    Morningstar��s gaze was indifferent as he said, ��Long Zheng is heavily injured and already doesn��t have combat capability. Stripping the Heavenly Dragon Mark and withdrawing from the Mist Battlefield.��


    Finished talking, he fired out a seal. A light beam flew out of the Mist Battlefield and landed on the platform.


    Long Zheng was full of wounds and was already completely unconscious.


    And the Heavenly Dragon Mark on his head also vanished without a trace already.


    Battle of Dragon Sons, only the ten people that remained in the end could continue to possess the Heavenly Dragon Mark.


    The others were stripped of their Heavenly Dragon Marks without exception, recovering their normal identities.


    Battle of Dragon Sons was a huge lucky chance, and similarly also a cruel elimination tournament.


    Weaklings could only fade into the crowd.


    In the Mist Battlefield, Ye Yuan continued to search for dragon origin crystals according to the Heavenly Dragon Mark��s effects.


    Ordinary Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were not opponents that could last one exchange with him at all.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan found many dragon origin crystals.


    While in another place, the Ao Yu who was currently meditating suddenly snapped open both eyes, his gaze revealing a look of wild elation.


    Ao Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��Hahaha �� the Mist Battlefield is indeed a superb place to increase one��s strength! My Heavenly Dragon Mark has already awakened a second time and even awakened my second innate divine ability. My strength became more than a magnitude stronger! My current strength is already adequate to squeeze into the top ten, even top five! Ye Yuan, pray that I don��t run into you, otherwise �� your hour of doom will have arrived! Blood debts need to be paid in blood!��


    The Heavenly Dragon Mark was a mark that could be steadily promoted.


    Each awakening, the strength of the dragon would obtain a significant advancement.


    It was also precisely because so that the potential of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon was tremendous, and also why they would be respected like so.


    They were people chosen by Heavenly Dragon Mountain, the Dragon Clan��s future.


    Ao Yu refined quite a few dragon origin crystals and already underwent the second awakening.


    The current him was brimming with confidence and wished to encounter Ye Yuan right away.

 Chapter 2167 - When Two Tigers Fight, One Is Sure to Die!

    With dragon origin crystals entering the body, a heartrending pain immediately transmitted over. Ye Yuan could not resist sucking in a cold breath.


    Following that, origin dragon energy fused into his blood vessels very quickly.


    Ye Yuan��s fleshly body and bloodline were being remolded rapidly.


    He could feel that his fleshly body was becoming stronger bit by bit.


    However, the energy contained in the dragon origin crystals, there was a portion of it that branched off, converting to chaos divine essence and soul force.


    Ever since breaking through to Chaos Realm, Ye Yuan discovered that the divine essence he absorbed would split into three.


    This was also to say that no matter how he cultivated now, it was cultivating essence, energy, and spirit, three paths, simultaneously!


    This way, Ye Yuan��s strength would be even more consolidated.


    Of course, cultivation also became slower.


    However, the dragon race��s origin dragon energy was another form of existence.


    Ye Yuan could feel traces of warm flow entering the Heavenly Dragon Mark, then spreading throughout the entire body.


    His dragon race bloodline became purer!


    Except, refining six pieces of dragon origin crystals in a row, Ye Yuan did not feel signs of the Heavenly Dragon Mark awakening, and he could not help feeling disappointed.


    ��Bloodline power increased by at least 20%, the power of my dragon race martial techniques will also increase 20%! This dragon origin crystal is really good stuff!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed in admiration.


    Reaching his level of boundary, each increase in bloodline was extremely, extremely difficult.


    But a few pieces of dragon origin crystals let his bloodline power increase 20%, it was indeed a treasure that was hard to come by.


    But Ye Yuan also discovered that the effect of the dragon origin crystals was gradually diminishing.


    Furthermore, the agony of amalgamating the dragon origin crystals was also continuously increasing.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that after the fused quantity reached a certain degree, it would probably be saturated.


    After getting up, Ye Yuan did not dawdle either, continuing to look for dragon origin crystals.


    This thing, naturally the more the better.


    Very soon, he relied on the Heavenly Dragon Mark��s reaction and found a piece of dragon origin crystal.


    However, without any surprises, another Son of the Heavenly Dragon also found it.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� The other party let out a surprised cry.


    Ye Yuan had long seen the arrival already. It was none other than precisely Ao Yu.


    Ao Yu had a smug look as he said with a cold smile, ��Enemies really meet on a narrow path! How is it? Do you have any realization already?��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Realization? What��s that?��


    Ao Yu shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. Using a pitying gaze to look at Ye Yuan, he said, ��Really don��t know where your courage comes from, to still dare be arrogant in front of me! You probably don��t know right? Just earlier, Cloud Dragon Stronghold��s Long Seven was already defeated at my hands!��


    Long Seven was an existence that had hopes of squeezing into the top three. Now, he was actually defeated at Ao Yu��s hands.


    It could be seen that Ao Yu��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan��s face did not have any visible chance in countenance as he said coolly, ��Oh? So what?��


    Ye Yuan��s nonchalance triggered Ao Yu badly, setting off all of his wrath.


    At the outside world, when Ao Qi saw these two people meet, his expression could not help changing.


    As the saying went, enemies would always meet, the two people finally bumped together!��


    Just earlier, the outside world��s heavenly emperors had just experienced a shock.


    Ao Yu who was a nobody actually defeated Long Seven who was a favorite to contend for the top three!


    This result made the heavenly emperors�� jaws drop.


    Originally thought that Ao Yu was just a sidekick, who knew that after he entered the Mist Battlefield, he seemed to have become enlightened, seizing dragon origin crystals consecutively.


    In the end, his Heavenly Dragon Mark actually underwent a second awakening and even awoken a second innate divine ability. Even Long Seven was not his match anymore.


    Long Zifeng was currently depressed. When he saw this scene, he could not help sneering as he said, ��Looks like these two people don��t seem to be on good terms. There��s a good show to watch now! I wonder if it��s this arrogant Ye Yuan who��s stronger, or Ao Yu who awakened a second time who��s stronger! When two tigers clash, one is bound to get hurt! Heh heh!��


    But Ao Qi let out a sigh and said, ��Not that one is bound to get hurt, but that one is sure to die!��


    The heavenly emperors could not help being surprised when they heard that, looking at Ao Qi in great surprise.


    Originally this time, it was the moment for Purpledragon Stronghold to radiate splendor. They did not expect that such a sudden turn of events would actually occur.


    Life and death were not prohibited in the Mist Battlefield. But unless one was genuinely enraged, otherwise, rarely would people determine life and death.


    Under normal circumstances, crippling the other party and making the other party withdraw from the Mist Battlefield was considered over.


    But now, these two great powerhouses were actually going to determine life and death, it involuntarily made people very surprised.


    Somebody asked, ��Ao Qi, why is that?��


    Ao Yi let out another sigh and talked about the two people��s grudge, making everyone stare dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    Ye Yuan this fellow was really a troublemaker, to actually scheme a heavenly emperor to death!


    But regarding this sort of scene, quite a number of people were delighted to hear about it.


    Cutting each other��s throats, this sort of thing, they dwelt upon it with great relish.


    ��Heh, Ye Yuan this brat is so arrogant, he probably never thought that Ao Yu actually awakened a second time, right? Even if he��s of the perfect seventh transformation, it��s also impossible to be Ao Yu��s match just based on martial technique!�� Long Zifeng said with a cold laugh.


    He still had half a sentence that he did not say: best that both parties fight until they were both wounded, and both withdraw from the Mist Battlefield!


    Regarding Long Zifeng��s words, the other heavenly emperors were also very much in agreement.


    Long Tianyu nodded and said, ��After the second awakening, regardless of whether it is bloodline power or innate divine abilities, the power will rise more than a level. Ye Yuan didn��t even awaken once, so it��s impossible to comprehend an innate divine ability. Therefore, he has virtually no chances of victory!��


    The moment Long Xiaochun heard, she was immediately indignant and rebutted, ��You guys just watch. Ye Yuan will definitely take him down!��


    When the group of heavenly emperors heard, they could not help laughing out loud.


    Fighting this sort of thing could not determine the victor based on feelings.


    A perfect seventh transformation was indeed very strong, but each one of the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon was an elite among the elites.


    In terms of the fleshly body, they also approached perfection.


    Although there were disparities in this aspect, it was also not irredeemable.


    A second awakening innate divine ability could make up for this disparity!


    Let alone that the combat power which Ao Yu exhibited, everyone already witnessed it.


    Long Seven displayed his second innate divine ability and still lost to Ao Yu.


    Therefore, they were not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    ��Humph! Ignorant fool, you completely don��t know the significance of defeating Long Seven! I��ve already awakened a second time and comprehended a second divine ability. Even if you have exceedingly formidable abilities, it��s also impossible to escape alive today!�� Ao Yu said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Is that so? Then bring out your special skill. Don��t let me down.��


    Ao Yu��s gaze turned cold, and his vital energy surged, like a fire.


    An enormous true dragon phantom slowly condensed behind him!


    Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter!


    However, Ao Yu��s Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter was more than a magnitude stronger compared to Long Zheng��s.


    That true dragon was also significantly more condensed.


    This was the power of a second awakening!


    Feeling the boundless power coming from the opposite side, the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth revealed a hint of amusement and he said with a light laugh, ��A little interesting! It can force out some of my strength!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan��s two hands form a Tai Chi stance, an enormous dragon emerged.


    Universe Dragon Claw third stance, Grand Universe Palm!


    Bang!


    The void trembled. Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter directly collapsed. The Grand Universe Palm carried an indomitable momentum and slammed onto Ao Yu��s body.

 Chapter 2168 - Cultivate? Doesn’t Exist!

    ��This �� The second awakening Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter actually can��t beat the Grand Universe Palm?��


    ��This guy was actually still holding back when he exchanged blows with Long Zheng!��


    ��When did the dragon race��s innate divine abilities become so weak that it can��t withstand even a single blow?��


    �� ��


    The group of heavenly emperors was rendered speechless. Was Ye Yuan planning on using Universe Dragon Claw this move to sweep across the Mist Battlefield?


    Furthermore, the strength that Ye Yuan displayed was clearly a great deal stronger than that time with Long Zheng.


    If Ye Yuan unleashed this kind of power when facing off with Long Zheng, Long Zheng would have long been smacked to death by him with one palm.


    ��Hehehe �� Elder Tianyu, didn��t you say that Ye Yuan doesn��t have any chances of victory? What about now?�� Long Xiaochun laughed loudly and said to Long Tianyu.


    Long Tianyu��s old face turned red, and he argued, ��You saw it earlier too. Ao Yu still has Boundless Big Dipper Fist, this trump card, that hasn��t been used. That��s a true major trump card!��


    Long Xiaochun��s mouth curled and she said disdainfully, ��Humph! Do you think that Ye Yuan has no trump cards? Wait and see!��


    �� ��


    Ao Yu crawled out from underneath the ground, covered in blood all over.


    Ye Yuan��s Grand Universe Palm earlier did not hold back. Ao Yu��s injuries were naturally much heavier than Long Zheng��s.


    Ao Yu looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of wrath and puzzlement.


    He did not know that Ye Yuan��s fight with Long Zheng had long already shocked the outside world��s heavenly emperor powerhouses.


    He still thought that with his current strength, he could casually crush Ye Yuan underfoot.


    He did not expect that the moment he made his move, he was trampled on by Ye Yuan.


    ��Yo, can still get up, not bad,�� Ye Yuan looked at Ao Yu and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ao Yu��s two eyes were blood-red as he roared angrily, ��Damn thing! You forced me! Now, I��ll turn you to ashes!��


    He withdrew his fist momentum and condensed the spirit of a true dragon behind him once more.


    But the spirit of the true dragon this time was more than several times more solid compared to before.


    He had not made his move yet and the surrounding space seemingly solidified.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils also constricted slightly, revealing a solemn expression.


    It seemed like this guy wasn��t a complete braggart either.


    Just based on this move, it was not a difficult matter for the current Ao Yu to annihilate a Second Firmament Empyrean too!


    ��Boundless Big Dipper Fist? Indeed have some degrees of alikeness! It��s just too bad that you��re still far too lacking!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ao Yu said with a cold smile, ��Stop pretending! Act cocky again after receiving this punch!��


    A hint of an amused smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and his two hands formed a circle in front of his chest without any discontinuity.


    A ball of light emerged in Ye Yuan��s palm.


    No petrifying aura, everything appeared so serene.


    Ao Yu��s movement and Ye Yuan��s motionlessness formed a sharp contrast.


    Seeing this scene, Ao Yu��s pupils could not help constricting as he cried out in surprise, ��Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand! This �� This isn��t possible! You just broke through to the Empyrean Realm, so how can you possibly cultivate the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand so fast?��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Cultivate? Doesn��t exist! Didn��t anybody tell you that I��m of the Atavism Dragon Soul?��


    Ao Yu��s expression changed drastically, looking at Ye Yuan with a stunned expression.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually of the Atavism Dragon Soul!


    In reality, Progenitor Long Qin had long mastered the Universe Dragon Claw��s fourth form, Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to rank seven, Ye Yuan grasped his martial technique naturally.


    Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand was famously hard to cultivate in the Dragon Clan.


    Many Empyrean powerhouses cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years and were only dabblers too.


    Hence, many people rather went to awaken innate divine abilities than be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of years to go and cultivate this martial technique.


    However, Long Qin��s talent was immensely high and cultivated this martial technique to the realm of grand completion.


    Hence, the moment Ye Yuan made his move, it was the grand completion realm Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand.


    As for cultivation this sort of dreary thing, to the Atavism Dragon Soul Ye Yuan, it did not exist at all.


    At this time, a myriad of profanities galloped across in Ao Yu��s heart!


    At the outside world, the group of heavenly emperors already burst into an uproar.


    ��Just how many trump cards does this guy have! The power of Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand already doesn��t lose to ordinary innate divine abilities!��


    ��How did he master the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand when he just broke through to Empyrean Realm?��


    ��This is really a fierce struggle between two evenly-matched opponents! Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand matching up against the Boundless Big Dipper Fist, it��s not easy to say who wins and who loses!��


    �� ��


    Seeing everyone��s stunned appearance, Long Xiaochun had a smug look.


    ��Hehe, cultivate? What the hell is that? Ye Yuan doesn��t need to cultivate at all to grasp the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand!�� Long Xiaochun said with a smug look.


    Everyone was taken aback when he heard that, but Morningstar��s eyes glimmered, and he said, ��Could this boy be �� of the Atavism Dragon Soul?��


    Long Xiaochun nodded and said with a smile, ��Ye Yuan��s progenitor is my mother��s elder brother, Long Qin. This Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand, Uncle he must have mastered it long ago. Hence, Ye Yuan doesn��t need to cultivate at all.��


    Ao Qi��s face changed and he cried out in surprise, ��Long Qin! The Son of the Heavenly Dragon who was known as the one with the greatest talent in your Raindragon Stronghold?��


    Long Xiaochun shook her head and said, ��That I��m not clear.��


    But Morningstar nodded slightly and said, ��I��ve also heard of him before. It was said that he had high hopes of entering Heavenly Dragon Mountain back then. But due to a momentary show of bravery, he barged into the Dragon Eye Cave. In the end, he was not heard of since. I didn��t expect that such a monster actually emerged among his descendants!��


    Although only the tip of the iceberg was revealed with regards to Ye Yuan��s strength, these Heavenly Emperors were all perfectly aware.


    Ye Yuan already surpassed his predecessor!


    However, these Heavenly Emperors only saw the scene from the light screen and did not know the actual situation in the Mist Battlefield.


    Ye Yuan��s Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand did not have an earth-shaking power, as if it was an old well without ripples.


    In Ao Yu��s view, Ye Yuan��s move was an empty show.


    Ao Yu naturally would not be silly enough to think that Ye Yuan was putting on a showy air to deal with him.


    On the contrary, his hairs were currently standing on end. A feeling of incredible danger welled up in his head.


    It was just that he who had awakened a second time did not believe in fate.


    ��So what even if Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand? I don��t believe that a mere martial technique can break my second awakening innate divine ability! Boundless Big Dipper Fist! Kill for me!��


    As he roared, Ao Yu executed the Boundless Big Dipper Fist.


    This punch was indomitable, displaying the dragon race��s domineeringness in its entirety.


    The spirit of the true dragon behind him suddenly struck a fist out. Heaven and earth trembled because of it.


    The Ao Yu previously relied on precisely this move to overpower Long Seven!


    Facing this heaven-shocking blow, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious. He just pushed lightly, the light ball in his palm suddenly vanished.


    Bang!


    Virtually instantaneously, an earth-shaking explosion sound erupted.


    The massive true dragon spirit was blown into pieces by an inexplicable force in an instant.


    Ao Yu��s pupils constricted, wanting to flee, but it was already too late.


    His surroundings were already enveloped by an inexplicable power, then it started exploding crazily.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    After the explosions, Ao Yu fell to the ground feebly, akin to a pile of rotten mud.


    Seeing the Ye Yuan who slowly walked in front of him, Ao Yu��s eyes were like dead ashes.


    ��W-Why?��


    He was unresigned!


    Originally thought that the Mist Battlefield was the place where he would experience a nirvanic rebirth. Who could have thought that �� it actually became his land of demise!


    He defeated the Long Seven who ranked in the top three, but he completely lost to Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2169 - Cannot Bear to Look Straight

    ��Why is it like this? Even if it��s the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand, it��s also impossible to be this strong, right? Just what profound mystery is there involved?��


    Long Tianyu looked at the Ye Yuan on the light screen, befuddlement written all over his eyes.


    It was true that Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand was strong.


    But the Boundless Big Dipper Fist should be stronger!


    Even if Ye Yuan had the augmentation of perfect seventh transformation, it was also impossible to make Ao Yu be defeated so utterly, right?


    The other heavenly emperors were the same too, very perplexed by this outcome.


    They were not concerned about Ao Yu��s life or death, but they were very interested in the reason for Ye Yuan��s might.


    ��Who cares what profound mystery he has? Winning says it all! Didn��t you say earlier that Ye Yuan doesn��t have chances of winning?�� Long Xiaochun napped the chance and smacked Long Tianyu��s face viciously.


    Long Tianyu��s old face turned red, and he awkwardly did not dare to speak.


    But Morningstar was absorbed in thought and slowly said, ��If I didn��t see wrongly, Ye Yuan should have grasped the method to withdraw his strength! This kind of method can let the martial technique��s power condense without releasing, focusing onto one point. It looks ordinary, but once it erupts, it will be akin to a monstrous wave or floodwaters, being unstoppable! This way, the power that the martial technique erupts with might be two times, even several times of the original!��


    ��What? There��s actually still such an approach!��


    ��This is also too freakish! This kind of method is equivalent to forcefully raising the martial technique up a level! No wonder the Boundless Big Dipper Fist was also too weak to stand against in front of him!��


    ��Why have I never heard of such an approach before?��


    �� ��


    These Heavenly Emperor powerhouses had all lived for countless years. Logically speaking, they were all people who had vast experiences and knowledge.


    But the power that Ye Yuan displayed, they actually never heard of it before.


    Just how many fortuitous encounters did this brat have before?


    Morningstar shook his head and said, ��This kind of method was very popular in the last epoch, but it has already been lost long ago. This emperor saw before just a few words in Heavenly Dragon Mountain��s ancient records. Ye Yuan��s method is very similar to what��s recorded in the ancient records.��


    The group of Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances, all shocked until they could not speak.


    Following Ye Yuan��s one trump card after another being exposed, the shock in their hearts grew greater and greater.


    �� ��


    In the Mist Battlefield, Ye Yuan looked at the Ao Yu beneath his feet and said coolly, ��There is no why. It��s because �� you��re too weak! So what if second awakening? You��re unable to even force out my true strength. Just this bit of strength and you also want to kill me?��


    Ao Yu��s eyes were ashen, full of disbelief.


    Already fought to such an extent, Ye Yuan actually did not exert his full strength yet?


    Just where �� did this guy��s limits lie?


    However, everything was not important anymore.


    Ye Yuan stomped a foot down, directly ending his life.


    Long Zheng had no grudges nor enmity with him, Ye Yuan would not deal a killing blow.


    Ao Yu wanted to kill him, he naturally would not hold back either.


    Seeing this scene, Ao Qi also shook his head slightly and sigh incessantly.


    He did not expect that Purpledragon Stronghold produced two peerless rare geniuses. In the end, it actually wrapped up in such a manner.


    Ye Yuan retrieved the dragon origin crystal and continued walking in the Mist Battlefield.


    He walked leisurely and did not have much scruples.


    In this Mist Battlefield, someone capable of harming him had not been born yet.


    If he could not even deal with those in the same rank, that would also be too weak.


    But got to admit, these Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were all very strong. Jumping realms and fighting was no object too.


    If Ao Yu went out of the Mist Battlefield, he would likely be able to break through to toe Third Firmament Empyrean Realm very soon.


    With his combat strength, even if he encountered a Fourth Firmament Empyrean, he would also have the strength to protect himself.


    One had to know, a Fourth Firmament Empyrean versus a Third Firmament Empyrean, it was virtually a situation of getting crushed.


    But in the same rank, it was far too difficult for someone to want to beat Ye Yuan.


    Along with the passage of time, the Sons of the Heavenly Dragon in the Mist Battlefield became fewer and fewer.


    The remainder were all elites. The battle situations also became increasingly fiercer.


    After Ye Yuan wasted two Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, he ran into Long Seven unexpectedly.


    Long Seven did not withdraw out of the Mist Battlefield. He was only defeated by Ao Yu and did not lose his combat strength.


    After retreating, he continued searching for dragon origin crystals again.


    When Long Seven saw Ye Yuan, his gaze turned cold, and he said haughtily, ��It��s you, this cocky fellow? Get lost, otherwise, die!��


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help failing to suppress his laughter.


    These guys were really more cocky than the previous ones, all speaking the same tune when talking.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him. He walked over toward the dragon origin crystal leisurely.


    Long Seven��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��I��m talking to you. Are you deaf? Take another step forward and I��ll make your blood splatter on the spot!��


    Long Seven did not know, but the face of the Long Zifeng outside turned green.


    In the Mist Battlefield, however big the commotion of two people��s fighting, the others were completely unaware too.


    Long Seven was completely unaware that the Ao Yu who beat him was already trampled to death by Ye Yuan with one foot.


    Now, the Long Seven who did not know the inside story actually still ran in front of Ye Yuan to posture. Wasn��t this an old person eating arsenic, being tired of living?


    When the group of heavenly emperors saw this scene, they could not help finding it funny.


    Even Ao Qi also could not resist mocking, ��Long Zifeng, Long Seven is aiming for top three. As long as he takes Ye Yuan down, entering the top three should be certain. Oh, right, you said that you have the capital to be arrogant in front of our Purpledragon Stronghold. Now, it��s time for you to be arrogant.��


    The group of heavenly emperors exclaimed into laughter.


    How could the current Long Zifeng still be arrogant?


    He just snorted coldly, but his gaze carried a trace of hope, hoping for Long Seven to not make a move against Ye Yuan.


    But very sadly, Long Seven still made a move.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not take him seriously at all, continuing to walk towards the dragon origin crystal, Long Seven gave a cold snort and said in a chilly voice, ��Refusing face when it��s given. Do you really take yourself to be someone notable? Since you��re seeking death yourself, then you can��t blame me! Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter!��


    Long Seven had also awakened two innate divine abilities, but his Heavenly Dragon Mark did not have a second awakening, so his strength was still a shade inferior to Ao Yu.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk nonsense. Casually throwing out a Grand Universe Palm, he directly sent Long Seven flying.


    Long Seven fell to the ground, a look of shock on his face.


    ��This is impossible! Grand Universe Palm actually broke my Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter?�� Long Seven��s eyes were full of disbelief.


    The words that Ye Yuan said before entering, Long Seven did not take it to heart at all.


    A fellow whose Heavenly Dragon Mark did not awaken, what strength could he have?


    But now, he discovered that he was wrong!


    Absurdly wrong!


    Ye Yuan��s strength was really very strong!


    Ye Yuan took down the dragon origin crystal and said coolly, ��You should have comprehended the Boundless Big Dipper Fist too, right? If you��re unconvinced, you can use it and see.��


    Contempt!


    Blatantly looking down!


    Long Seven was full of pride, how could he endure this goading?


    ��Punk, since you want to die, then I��ll send you off!��


    Long Seven��s gaze turned cold, the spirit of true dragon stirring once more. Boundless Big Dipper Fist suddenly erupted!


    He did not know, but the outside world��s Long Zifeng shut his eyes painfully, unable to bear to look at this scene anymore.


    Sure enough, with a bang, Long Seven��s body was smacked flying out once more like a kite with a broken string.


    However, Ye Yuan showed mercy this time, letting Long Seven to withdraw out of the Mist Battlefield safely.

 Chapter 2170 - Divine Lightning Devastation

    ��Sigh! You shouldn��t have provoked Ye Yuan!�� Seeing Long Seven, Long Zifeng could not help sighing as he said.


    Long Seven endured the pain and said with gritted teeth, ��How can this fellow be so strong?��


    Long Zifeng said with a bitter smile, ��Strong? Atavism Dragon Soul, perfect seventh transformation, a secret art to contract his strength, can he not be strong? Ao Yu provoked Ye Yuan and was trampled to death by him with one foot already! For you being able to come out safely was already him showing leniency! Now, there��s probably only Long Yuan who can have a showdown with him!��


    Long Seven had a dumbfounded stare, his mouth gaping. How could he have thought that Ye Yuan��s trumps cards were actually so numerous?


    Furthermore, each trump card was sufficient to shock the soul.


    He actually still looked for trouble, posturing in front of Ye Yuan.


    Fortunately, there were not many people left in the Mist Battlefield currently. He was kicked out seventh from the last.


    This was also to say that in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, he was ranked seventh, rather fitting with his name.


    Suddenly, a Heavenly Emperor cried out in surprise, ��Quickly look! Ye Yuan and Long Yuan have met! This time, it��s really the strong characters meeting! The victor among them will probably be the champion this time!��


    Ye Yuan sensed the position of the dragon origin crystals and bumped into Long Yuan head-on.


    When he saw Ye Yuan, Long Yuan was slightly taken aback.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually walk until now.


    Not encountering Ye Yuan for such a long time, he even thought that Ye Yuan was finished off long ago.


    ��Being able to get to this point, looks like you still have a bit of strength. However �� you shouldn��t be so cocky!�� Long Yuan said coolly with his hands behind his back.


    These words were clearly not planning on letting Ye Yuan off.


    The words that Ye Yuan said outside had clearly triggered him, this Sons of the Heavenly Dragon��s number one person��s pride.


    That kind of word that showed disdain upon all geniuses, only he was worthy to say it!


    Ye Yuan said with a light smile, ��Cocky, is it? I don��t think so. I was just stating a fact!��


    ��Is that so?��


    Long Yuan��s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, his palm struck out. It was actually a Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand!


    This move was quick as lightning and actually did not even need the time to cast the spell.


    Making a move at a word of disagreement!


    ��Die!�� Long Yuan shouted coldly, Ye Yuan was already a dead person in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and with a backhand, it was a Grand Universe Palm.


    Bang!


    The two people each fell back several steps and stabilized their figures.


    ��Eh?�� Long Yuan let out a light cry of surprise. Clearly, he was very surprised by Ye Yuan��s strength.


    Outside word, the group of heavenly emperors were extremely shocked.


    ��Long Yuan actually mastered the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand too! This kid is truly monstrous!��


    ��Ye Yuan merely relied on the Atavism Dragon Soul in order to master the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand. But Long Yuan cultivated by relying on his own talent. In comparison, whoever is superior can be determined at once!��


    ��Up until now, there has yet to be someone who forced out his true strength. Wonder if Ye Yuan can do it or not.��


    �� ��


    The moment the two people attacked, the group of heavenly emperors all leaned toward Long Yuan one-sidedly.


    It was not that Ye Yuan was not amazing, but it was that Long Yuan that was seriously too mysterious.


    Up until now, nobody could force him to use his innate divine abilities at all.


    Even the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand, it was the first time he used it.


    They had practically seen all of Ye Yuan��s trump cards.


    But Long Yuan��s trump cards, they did not see it at all.


    Was it that Long Yuan��s opponents were not strong?


    Of course not!


    Long Yuan already wiped out quite a few powerful Sons of the Heavenly Dragon walking until now.


    Some people��s strengths were even stronger than the Ao Yu after evolving.


    But even so, nobody could force out Long Yuan��s true strength either. It could be seen how mysterious he was.


    In contrast, the strength that Ye Yuan displayed was practically his limit already.


    Hence, everyone naturally felt more optimistic about Long Yuan.


    The reason why Heavenly Dragon Stronghold was powerful was that their bloodline was extremely strong.


    One should not look at how Ao Yu awakened his Heavenly Dragon Mark a second time. Because when comparing bloodlines, he might even be inferior to Long Yuan who only awakened once.


    This was the magnitude of disparity, and also the difference in talent. It was impossible to make up for.


    Long Yuan looked at Ye Yuan and said rather surprisedly, ��Indeed have some skill, to actually be able to block my Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand with the Grand Universe Palm! You have the qualifications to make me a little serious.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Another arrogant fellow! You��re getting a little serious. It��s just that, I don��t know whether you can make me a little serious or not!��


    Long Yuan had an appearance of looking down from high above as he said coolly, ��You��d best be a little more serious. Otherwise, when I make my move, you won��t have the chance to be serious anymore!��


    Finished talking, Long Yuan��s vital energy surged to the sky. A true dragon spirit appeared behind him.


    It was Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter again!


    However, Long Yuan��s Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter was more than a magnitude stronger than Ao Yu��s!


    That true dragon spirit��s aura gave Ye Yuan a feeling of Mt. Tai bearing down from above.


    ��To be able to force me to use an innate divine ability, you can be sufficiently proud! Now, you can go and die!�� Long Yuan had an appearance of having everything under control, suddenly striking a palm out.


    Ye Yuan laughed lightly, True Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand firing out fiercely.


    Bang!


    Two forces dissipated with a loud bang, returning to serenity.


    Evenly-matched once again!


    Long Yuan��s eyes narrowed, clearly not expecting that Ye Yuan would actually know the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand too.


    Furthermore, before this move erupted, there was actually not the slightest trace of undulation.


    That instant they exchanged blows, Long Yuan felt a force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas erupt, making him almost lose control of himself.


    Similar to the Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand, the power of Ye Yuan��s move was no idea how many times stronger than him!


    He realized that he still underestimated Ye Yuan in the end.


    This fellow was not simple!


    However, it was also just not simple.


    To the arrogant Long Yuan, there was nothing that he had respect for.


    ��This is the strength after you get serious? It��s also nothing much!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Yuan��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Since you��re in a hurry to seek death, I��ll send you off then!��


    It was only to see him open both hands, bending his fingers to form claws, suspending above in midair.


    Behind him, a true dragon spirit appeared once more.


    This time, the true dragon spirit was more solid than any time that Ye Yuan had seen before in the past.


    A fierce wind swept up, Long Yuan��s hair fluttered, akin to a god.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Countless electric currents were flowing above the void.


    The entire Mist Battlefield seemed to have transformed into an endless lightning sea.


    Long Yuan used his eyes like looking at an ant as he looked toward Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Do you see it? This is my true strength after getting serious! The second innate divine abilities that others comprehended are mostly Boundless Big Dipper Fist. But my bloodline power is far purer than theirs! The second innate divine ability that I comprehended is this Divine Lightning Devastation! This divine lightning is dipper lightning that drives the heavens; not within the five elements. It��s the lightning that the spirit of the true dragon controls, capable of annihilating myriad life on earth! Seeing this divine ability, you �� can die contently!��


    At the outside world, the group of heavenly emperors was long already staring dumbfoundedly and their mouths agape.


    No one thought that Long Yuan��s talent was actually so great!


    For the second innate divine ability, he actually awakened Divine Lightning Devastation.


    ��Monster! This is a true monster!��


    ��Divine Lightning Devastation! Sons of the Heavenly Dragon capable of awakening this innate divine ability are one in a million!��


    ��This kid is bound to be another major power of my Dragon Clan in the future!��

 Chapter 2171 - : Stomping Heaven’s Chosen Underfoot!

    The heavenly emperor powerhouses were long already motionless. Their reaction was sufficient to prove how great the shock that Long Yuan��s strength brought to them was.


    Long Tianyu stroked his bear and said with a smile, ��You guys are also looking down on Long Yuan too much. This isn��t his true strength. However �� using it to deal with Ye Yuan is sufficient.��


    ��W-What? This still isn��t all of his strength?�� When Long Zifeng heard this, his eyeballs almost popped out.


    Divine Lightning Devastation, without heaven-defying talent, there was simply no way to awaken it.


    But Long Tianyu said that this was still not Long Yuan��s true strength.


    Then how horrifying was this guy��s true strength?


    The group of heavenly emperors could not help but somewhat start having doubts about life.


    Long Tianyu had a smug look and said with a faint smile, ��Long Yuan is my Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s most talented Son of the Heavenly Dragon in this one million years, not one of! His talent can be ranked even when looking at the entire Dragon Clan! In the future, it��s virtually a sure bet for him to become a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor!��


    All of the heavenly emperors were speechless. Originally they thought that Ye Yuan could become a black horse in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, or even post a threat to Long Yuan.


    But looking at it now, everyone was thinking too much.


    Ye Yuan��s talent was not even worthy of carrying Long Yuan��s shoes!


    So what if Atavism Dragon Soul? So what if perfect seventh transformation?


    The dragon race��s strongest talent was still bloodline power, still innate divine abilities!


    Morningstar nodded slightly, revealing a look of approval. Clearly, he was very satisfied with Long Yuan.


    This time, even Long Xiaochun did not dare to speak out and shoot Long Tianyu anymore. Because she was also somewhat in doubt about whether Ye Yuan could withstand such a terrifying lightning sea anymore.


    �� ��


    In the midst of the endless lightning sea, Long Yuan stood proudly.


    ��Now, do you know the disparity between you and me? A thousand years later, you simply won��t be able to imagine my realm! Didn��t even comprehend innate divine abilities, just the likes of a trash like you also dare to talk wildly about talent?�� Long Yuan said with a disdainful look.


    Ye Yuan had no joy nor sorrow on his face and said calmly, ��Who told you that I didn��t comprehend an innate divine ability?��


    Long Yuan��s expression changed, but then he saw the bloodline pressure on Ye Yuan��s body suddenly erupt.


    That imposing momentum was actually not much weaker than him.


    The spirit of a true dragon transformed into an enormous dragon and revolved around Ye Yuan, it was actually like a living thing!


    An aura that came from great antiquity made the entire lightning sea start trembling.


    That boundless dipper lightning that drove the heavens actually seemed to have intelligence, not daring to approach Ye Yuan.


    Long Yuan��s expression changed wildly, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    ��That �� What kind of innate divine ability is that? Why have I never seen it before?�� Long Zifeng cried out in surprise.


    Not just him, all of the heavenly emperors had blank looks on their faces.


    Clearly, they all had not seen Ye Yuan��s innate divine ability before.


    Only the light in Morningstar��s eyes grew brighter and brighter!


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space! How long has it been since anyone in my Dragon Clan has awakened it!�� Morningstar said with an emotional sigh.


    Long Xiaochun seemed to understand and not understand and asked doubtfully, ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space? It sounds like it��s very badass. Is it very impressive?��


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space! It��s actually Heretic Dragon Dominating Space! This �� This wouldn��t be the legendary innate divine ability, right?�� Long Zifeng trembled all over and cried out in surprise.


    ��My God! The first innate divine ability that this fellow awakened is actually Heretic Dragon Dominating Space?�� A Heavenly Emperor cried out strangely.


    ��I �� I take back my words before. These two people are both monsters!��


    There was an uproar among the heavenly emperors, being stunned by the scene before their eyes.


    Only Long Tianyu��s expression looked somewhat unnatural.


    Morningstar nodded and replied Long Xiaochun: ��A very impressive innate divine ability! Our dragon race is a species that Heaven looks after, with our bloodline containing the power of Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the innate divine abilities that we awaken are extremely powerful. However, Dragon Tyrannical Evanescent Slaughter, this level of innate divine ability, compared to Heretic Dragon Dominating Space, is far too lacking! Even Divine Lightning Devastation is also a magnitude weaker compared to Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!��


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space is an innate divine ability that contains spatial law, bringing the might of heaven and earth, the power being unimaginable. More importantly, this innate divine ability, it��s already been at least ten million years since anyone has awakened it in my Dragon Clan!��


    Long Xiaochun sucked in a breath and cried out in surprise, ��So incredible? Ye Yuan��s spatial law is very formidable. No wonder he can awaken this innate divine ability.��


    Morningstar said in surprise, ��So that��s how it is, no wonder! The awakening of our Dragon Clan��s innate divine abilities is actually closely related to the inclinations of our bloodline. In Long Yuan��s bloodline, lightning-attribute laws are the most lively, so he awakened Divine Lightning Devastation. But wanting to awaken Heretic Dragon Dominating Space can��t be accomplished by merely having slight knowledge about spatial law. It looks like Ye Yuan��s spatial law is at least rank six and above!��


    Hearing Morningstar��s analysis, the group of heavenly emperors was dumbfounded.


    Witnessing Long Yuan��s talent earlier, each and every one of them was incredibly shocked and immediately cast Ye Yuan aside like a pair of worn-out shoes.


    They did not think that in a blink of an eye, the talent that Ye Yuan displayed immediately overshadowed Long Yuan.


    They naturally did not know that Ye Yuan broke through rank seven at the same time with his perfect seventh transformation plus essence, energy, and spirit three paths.


    Under such a stimulation, awakening a formidable innate divine ability was merely ordinary!


    These two people��s talents already completely exceeded the heavenly emperors�� expectations.


    Just as the group of heavenly emperors was in shock, Long Yuan and Ye Yuan two people were dealing blow for blow and already reached a white-hot stage.


    Long Yuan saw that the situation was not good, it was naturally impossible to give Ye Yuan another chance to display his innate divine ability.


    ��Lightning punishment! Obliterate for me!��


    It was only to see him shake a finger, hundreds and thousands of wrist-thick blots of dipper lightning that drove the heavens suddenly fell down from the void.


    Long Yuan was akin to a sovereign who controlled divine lightning, his momentum unstoppable.


    Amidst the endless lightning sea, an enormous circular-shaped aura seemed to be like another world.


    Ye Yuan was situated inside. Suddenly, he took a step out!


    ��Roar!��


    The spirit of the true dragon gave an astonishing roar. Dragon claw virtually synchronizing with Ye Yuan, it stepped onto the void.


    Bang!


    This step, the entire heaven and earth trembled!


    The space of the Mist Battlefield seemed to have been trampled into pieces.


    Those hundreds and thousands of bolts of dipper lightning that drove the heavens were actually forcefully scattered away by the power of this stamp!


    Long Yuan only felt a sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood mist spraying out wildly, already sustaining heavy injuries.


    The lightning sea dissipated, the true dragon vanished.


    Everything returned to tranquility.


    Ye Yuan stood in the air, but swapped positions with Long Yuan, looking down from above.


    Under this stomp, it trampled all of Long Yuan��s pride to smithereens!


    ��This is your so-called talent? So-called pride? Very ordinary! Wonder if I have the qualifications to talk about a thousand years later now?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Yuan��s eyes were full of unwillingness. He had always thought that he was the Dragon Clan��s junior generation��s strongest genius.


    In Heavenly Dragon Stronghold, he had never encountered a match before.


    His pride was higher than the heavens.


    But today, somebody actually trampled all of his pride underfoot.


    He was unwilling!


    He was unresigned!


    All of a sudden, the Heavenly Dragon Mark on Long Yuan��s forehead seemed to burn like a cluster of fire!


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up slightly, a little surprised.


    At the outside world, the group of heavenly emperors cried out in surprise one after another.


    Long Yuan awakened a second time!

 Chapter 2172 - Long Yuan’s True Trump Card!

    ��Second awakening! Long Yuan awakened a second time! Hahaha �� really have to thank Ye Yuan. If not for his stimulation, it would really not be so easy for Long Yuan to want to awaken a second time.��


    Long Tianyu could not resist letting out a burst of loud laughter when he saw the Long Yuan on the light screen.


    To a Son of the Heavenly Dragon, the stronger the bloodline, the harder it was to awaken.


    Long Yuan��s bloodline could be said to be the strongest existence among the group of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon.


    Him being able to awaken once in itself already illustrated that his talent was astonishing.


    But wanting to awaken a second time, even if he refined numerous dragon origin crystals, he might not be able to accomplish it too.


    However, under Ye Yuan��s powerful pressure, Long Yuan��s Heavenly Dragon Mark actually awakened a second time.


    First awakening, bloodline rose sharply by ten times!


    Under the augmentation of bloodline, the advancement of the Son of the Heavenly Dragon was all-round.


    Long Zifeng also said in surprise, ��I didn��t expect that Ye Yuan is peerlessly talented, but then at the end he actually became a wedding gown for Long Yuan! Looks like the Battle of Dragon Sons this time, it��s still Long Yuan who wins by a notch in the end!��


    A Heavenly Emperor said, ��A shame! With Ye Yuan��s potential, if given time, his achievements might not be beneath Long Yuan��s. It��s just that �� Long Yuan awakened a second time, he probably wouldn��t let him off.��


    �� ��


    In the Mist Battlefield, Long Yuan��s vital energy surged to the sky.


    The bloodline pressure that suffused the air was significantly stronger than before.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene rather interestedly and did not interrupt the other party in fluster and exasperation.


    ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, really got to thank you! If not for you, I still wouldn��t know when my second awakening would have to wait until!�� Long Yuan said with a wild laugh.


    At this very moment, Long Yuan felt unprecedentedly well, feeling that he was unprecedentedly powerful.


    His bloodline power was extremely strong in the first place. Now that it awakened a second time, it soared wildly by ten times.


    This kind of increment was sufficient to insta-kill everything to a genius like him!


    ��You��re welcome. Honestly speaking, your bit of strength previously wasn��t enough for me to warm up yet. Hope that you don��t disappoint me this time,�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Provoking!


    Blatant provocation!


    Even if your strength skyrocketed, I��ll still look down on you!


    Long Yuan��s eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Very well! I��ll let you understand how serious the consequences of provoking me is!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said coolly, ��I��m waiting.��


    Long Yuan was triggered by Ye Yuan��s nonchalant attitude until he was going crazy.


    He stared at Ye Yuan coldly and said, ��You must think that Divine Lightning Devastation is my limit, right? Let me tell you. Unfortunately for you, I already comprehended the third innate divine ability before my second awakening! After the second awakening, the power of innate divine abilities skyrockets by ten times! I want to see what you��ll use to block!��


    ��Watch closely! Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning!��


    Lightning sea again!


    But this time, it was vastly different from that time before.


    The taste of five elements law pervaded the air.


    Five-colored lightning interweaved and fluctuated above the void. It was as if it was a dreamland, beautiful and luscious.


    A grand sight!


    But behind this magnificent scenery, it contained tremendous danger.


    Seeing this Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning, Ye Yuan could not help thinking of the Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation that he had once transcended in the Immortal Grove World.


    It was just that Long Yuan��s innate divine ability was no idea how many levels higher compared to that Greater Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation.


    Five elements heavenly lightning concealed above the ninth heaven, shocking the world!


    At the outside world was boiling over with excitement long ago.


    ��This kid �� actually comprehended a third innate divine ability!��


    ��Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning! This innate divine ability can be said to be the strongest lightning-attribute! It��s said that when cultivated to the extreme, it can virtually stand on par with Lightning Ancestor!��


    ��Truly broadened my horizons today! These two great geniuses are truly each more astonishing than the other!��


    �� ��


    Although they were all Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, in front of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon, especially in front of Sons of the Heavenly Dragon like Long Yuan and Ye Yuan, they were nothing at all.


    As long as they stepped into the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future, they could one-shot them with one hand.


    This kind of genius, they were the true major power candidates.


    As long as them had sufficient time, they would be able to make the entire Heavenspan World trembled!


    Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning was one of the Dragon Clan��s strongest innate divine abilities. It virtually represented the limits of lightning-attribute laws.


    Following the increase in Long Yuan��s strength, the power of this innate divine ability would grow with each passing day.


    After Long Yuan reached the realm of Transcendent Heavenly Emperor, its power would be extremely terrifying.


    If the Lightning Ancestor did not emerge, who could contend?!


    Even Morningstar also stood up agitatedly, looking at that high and mighty figure on the light screen with a look of pleasant surprise.


    ��Hahaha �� really didn��t expect that such a great talent actually appeared in the Battle of Dragon Sons this time! My Dragon Clan shall descend upon Heavenspan World and make the world tremble! Tianyu, you hid from this emperor so bitterly!�� Morningstar said agitatedly.


    Long Tianyu was clearly in the know long ago. The smugness on his face currently could not be concealed no matter what.


    ��Heh heh, Lord Morningstar, it wasn��t that Tianyu had the intention of hiding it. Originally, I thought that Long Yuan wouldn��t use this final move. I didn��t expect that it was actually forced out by Ye Yuan. It��s Long Yuan who decided to tell you after the Battle of Dragon Sons!�� Long Tianyu said with a smile.


    The other heavenly emperors had envious looks on their faces. Toward such a genius that was hard to come by in a million years, who did not want?


    As the saying went, When one man attained Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too.


    When Long Yuan entered Heavenly Dragon Mountain in the future, Heavenly Dragon Stronghold��s strength would definitely scale new heights.


    The disparity would grow bigger and bigger.


    Long Xiaochun pursed her mouth at one side, clearly very unhappy with Morningstar��s performance.


    He was still very optimistic about Ye Yuan just now. In a blink of an eye, he leaned toward Long Yuan again.


    �� ��


    Electric current revolved around Long Yuan, his body emitting an extremely horrifying aura.


    Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning was an extremely formidable innate divine ability in the first place. Its power was even a notch stronger than Heretic Dragon Dominating Space.


    Now, he awakened a second time. It could be seen how powerful this innate divine ability was.


    He looked at Ye Yuan as if looking at a dead person.


    ��Tremble! To be able to die under the divine punishment, you can be sufficiently proud! Five Elements Heavenly Lightning, Divine Punishment!��


    A hint of cruelty flashed across the corners of Long Yuan��s mouth, akin to the Heavenly Dao which ruled the world, deciding Ye Yuan��s life and death.


    Only to see him reach his hand out and beckon, lightning snakes that filled the sky ran wild like a host of demons dancing in riotous revelry, galloping towards Ye Yuan.


    At this very moment, even if Ye Yuan used Heretic Dragon Dominating Space this move, it would be totally impossible to salvage the deteriorating situation too.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Long Xiaochun��s face turned white as she cried out in surprise.


    Although she could not feel the power of Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning. just based on the frenzied scene on the light screen, Long Xiaochun could determine just how perilous Ye Yuan was at this moment.


    Morningstar sighed slightly. In his view, Ye Yuan would definitely die without a doubt under the Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning.


    At this moment, everyone sentenced Ye Yuan to the death penalty.


    One awakened a second time, one did not awaken.


    This enormous gap made people unable to find any excuse at all to feel that Ye Yuan had a chance to escape with his life.


    However, from start until now, Ye Yuan never moved all along. He did not even release an innate divine ability to face the enemy.


    However, just as the endless lightning was about to engulf him, Ye Yuan��s lips moved!


    Yes!


    What moved was only his lips.

 Chapter 2173 - Your Realm is Unimaginable!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Immobilize!��


    1


    Ye Yuan��s mouth lightly spat out a word.


    The next second, the entire world was frozen!


    The resplendent lightning snakes, five-colored lightning, dancing fog, including Long Yuan, everything and everything, was frozen!


    The entire world was like a painting, being completely still!


    Those crazily dancing five-colored lightning snakes, all of them stopped on top of Ye Yuan��s head.


    Just like a kind of liquid that suddenly met with extreme cold, instantly being frozen.


    This scene was incomparably bizarre.


    Time, space, was seemingly completely frozen.


    Suddenly, a hint of disharmony flashed past in the painting.


    Somebody moved!


    It was Ye Yuan!


    Only to see him take a step out, his figure instantly crossing a distance of thousands of feet, arriving in front of Long Yuan.


    Bang!


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan��s punch slammed onto Long Yuan��s face, directly blasting him flying.


    At this time, a breath had just passed.


    Time seemed to flow once more. The fog moved along with the wind once again.


    However, that endless lightning sea dissipated with a loud bang, as if it had never appeared before.


    Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning was broken!


    At the outside world, all of the heavenly emperors�� thoughts were seemingly frozen by Ye Yuan��s one ��immobilize�� word.


    Of course, it was not that they were really immobilized, but that they were completely shocked by what happened on the light screen, resulting in forgetting to think.


    All the way until a breath later did their thoughts similarly recover and move!


    ��W-What happened just now? Why do I feel like the entire mist world turned static?��


    ��Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning was broken just like this?��


    ��Could �� Could it be ����


    At this time, Morningstar slowly nodded his head, his eyes full of astonishment as he said, ��Time Freeze! Which is also �� immobilization art!��


    The moment these words came out, the platform immediately burst into an uproar.


    All of the heavenly emperors�� faces were full of a crazed look.


    ��That��s impossible! Time Freeze, this is one of the dragon race��s strongest innate divine abilities, capable of making it completely still within a certain range! He �� He just broke through to Empyrean Realm and didn��t even awaken the Heavenly Dragon Mark. But then he comprehended this mighty divine ability?�� Long Tianyu shouted shrilly.


    Just a breath ago, he was still sentencing Ye Yuan to death, thinking that Ye Yuan was dead without a doubt.


    After a breath later, Ye Yuan used the art of Time Freeze and slapped his face.


    Of course, it also slapped everyone��s faces.


    Everyone did not expect, and it was also impossible to expect that Ye Yuan actually grasped this astonishing divine ability.


    One breath!


    Very short!


    Very very short!


    Fleeting!


    But this one breath was enough for Ye Yuan to do too many things!


    Such as, breaking the Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning with one punch!


    Powerful until the Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning which shocked all of the heavenly emperors was broken by Ye Yuan just like that.


    ��Time Freeze! Legends say that that��s a mighty divine ability that only the progenitor knows. It can be said to be a paramount divine ability among innate divine abilities! It �� It was actually grasped by him?�� Long Zifeng already did not know what he should say.


    Apart from shock, it was extreme astonishment!


    The talent that Ye Yuan displayed already rendered them thoroughly speechless.


    Was Long Yuan��s talent very strong?


    Yes!


    But Long Yuan��s talent was completely not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan!


    That was the distance between a firefly and the bright moon!


    If everyone was still immersing in the elation of obtaining a genius at the beginning, now, they even had a trace of fear.


    When a person��s talent surpassed everyone��s understanding, he would be viewed as monstrous!


    That was an aberrant lifeform!


    The current Ye Yuan was an aberrant lifeform in the eyes of the group of heavenly emperors!


    Morningstar sighed lightly and slowly said, ��We all underestimated Ye Yuan! Being able to be bestowed a Heavenly Dragon Mark by a major power in the clan, how could Ye Yuan be ordinary? It��s just that this emperor also didn��t expect that he could even comprehend Time Freeze, this kind of mighty divine ability!��


    �� ��


    In the Mist Battlefield, Long Yuan looked at Ye Yuan with a look of horror.


    Just now, he thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    Suddenly in an instant, a strange power suddenly appeared, thoroughly binding him.


    In the eyes, the world was completely still!


    He struggled desperately, wanting to break free of this strange power.


    But, everything was futile.


    Whatever Heavenly Dragon Mark, whatever Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning, in front of this strange power, it was not worth mentioning at all.


    That feeling was seemingly like he was facing Heavenly Dao.


    Insignificant!


    He just felt that he was too insignificant!


    Then, he was wrecked.


    ��Time Freeze! This is Time Freeze! You �� How can you possibly comprehend this innate divine ability? This isn��t possible! This is impossible!�� Long Yuan said with a look of shock.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said coolly, ��You can��t do it, but doesn��t mean that others can��t do it. There��s nothing impossible in this world. It��s just that with your realm, you��re unable to imagine it. That��s all!��


    Long Yuan��s entire body trembled, his eyes full of decadence.


    He praised himself to be the Dragon Clan��s number one genius in one million ears and could show disdain for the world.


    Comprehending the Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning, he was once pleased with himself, thinking that no one could do it anymore.


    But, the height that Ye Yuan was standing at was far beyond his reach!


    ��Impossible! I��m a genuine dragon! How can I possibly be inferior to you, this half-human, half-dragon, lowly life-form? Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning, annihilate for me!��


    Long Yuan suddenly launched an attack. Horrifying five-colored lightning fell from the sky, falling straight down.


    The pride in his chest made him unable to accept this result at all.


    Only a short while ago, he thought that he could casually eradicate Ye Yuan.


    But now, he discovered that he was so laughable.


    He was unable to accept this result!


    Hence, he wanted to kill Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold and he said in a chilly voice, ��Reckless and blind!��


    ��Immobilize!��


    Ye Yuan��s lips moved lightly, the word ��immobilize�� was spat out of his mouth again.


    One word leaving the mouth, even with his strength, he felt drained too.


    This kind of great divine ability, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to release it limitlessly.


    Furthermore, the time of the Time Freeze this time did not even reach half a breath!


    However, it was sufficient to kill Long Yuan!


    From the start until now, Long Yuan always had a high and mighty appearance.


    Attacking time and again, it all wanted to kill him.


    If it were others, they would probably have been killed by Long Yuan no idea how many times already.


    Until now, this guy still refused to come to his senses, did he really take him to be a good-two-shoes?


    On the platform, when Morningstar saw this scene, his expression could not help changing drastically as he cried out in alarm, ��Not good! Ye Yuan wants to kill Long Yuan!��


    Virtually without thinking, Morningstar fired out several spells in a row.


    A light beam suddenly charged into the Mist Battlefield and actually directly smashed Time Freeze.


    The light beam directly covered Long Yuan, bringing him out of the Mist Battlefield.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, very unhappy in his heart.


    He knew that someone made a move and rescued Long Yuan.


    Apart from Morningstar, there naturally would not be others.


    Although his Time Freeze was impressive, in front of a supreme powerhouse like Morningstar, it was completely useless.


    Long Yuan was also restricted to First Firmament Empyrean. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Ye Yuan to want to freeze for a breath of time.


    In the end, Time Freeze only mobilized the power of Heavenly Dao.


    The higher the realm, the stronger the comprehensions in Heavenly Dao too. Wanting to bind the other party with the power of Heavenly Dao would naturally be increasingly difficult.


    However, under his certain-death scenario just now, Morningstar did not make a move to save him either.


    But now, seeing that Long Yuan was about to die, he made a move to save him.


    Ye Yuan was naturally outraged in his heart!

 Chapter 2174 - 100 Pieces of Dragon Origin Crystals

    The light screen slowly dissipated. A youth in white walked over leisurely.


    On the platform, everyone looked at the youth in white, with their eyes full of terror.


    Yes, terror!


    These Heavenly Emperors were all frightened by Ye Yuan��s talent.


    The Sons of the Heavenly Dragon who had exchanged blows with Ye Yuan before actually took a step back without prior agreement.


    This guy was not human at all!


    He was a monster!


    But Long Xiaochun had a look of delight, coming up to greet.


    ��Ye Yuan, this young lady knew that you��re the most formidable. Indeed, you didn��t disappoint me!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Bringing Long Xiaochun and landing on the platform, his eyes suddenly turned sharp.


    He stared at Morningstar intently and said in a solemn voice, ��Senior doing so, shouldn��t you give me an explanation?��


    Swallowing insults and humiliation silently was not Ye Yuan��s personality. Since he did so, he would have to pay the price!


    The Heavenly Emperors were shocked when they heard that. This guy was really arrogant, to actually dare question Lord Morningstar.


    Did he think that taking the first place of the Battle of Dragon Sons, he could challenge a Heavenly Dragon?


    ��Insolence! Who do you take yourself to be me? To dare speak to Lord Morningstar like this?�� Long Tianyu just had a stomach full of anger that had nowhere to be released. So he immediately jumped out.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him and stared right at Morningstar��s two eyes.


    Morningstar sighed slightly and said, ��You��re both my Dragon Clan��s pillars of society. Any one of you that dies is my Dragon Clan��s tremendous loss!��


    Ye Yuan suddenly burst out laughing when he heard that. His gaze turned to Long Yuan, and he said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Pillars of society? Huhu, what a fine pillar of society!��


    Those words were full of mockery.


    Long Yuan had a look of shame and anger, wishing to find a hold in his ground to tunnel into.


    The other Sons of the Heavenly Dragon also lowered their heads one after another. If even Long Yuan did not count as a pillar of society, what did they count as?


    But these words coming out of Ye Yuan��s mouth, no one could refute it at all!


    He used strength, used talent, and proved that Long Yuan was merely trash!


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re insolent! If Long Yuan isn��t a pillar of society, then are you? You��re merely ���� Long Tianyu could not endure this awkward atmosphere and spoke out, berating.


    ��Shut up!�� Morningstar suddenly yelled angrily, interrupting Long Tianyu��s words.


    But Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Continue saying that I have half human-race bloodline. In your eyes, I��m a different species. Isn��t that so? Hence, when Long Yuan used Five Elements Divine Punishment Heavenly Lightning, you didn��t make a move to save me. But when I wanted to kill him, you made a move and saved him! In your eyes, no matter how strong I am, I��m also not the Dragon Clan��s own people, isn��t that so?!��


    Morningstar��s old face turned slightly red. Being exposed by Ye Yuan so blatantly, it was so embarrassing!


    Although Ye Yuan obtained the Dragon Clan major power��s Heavenly Dragon Mark, he still had some reservations in the end.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually saw things as clearly as viewing a blazing fire, guessing his thoughts penetratingly.


    This kid was not simple!


    Morningstar heaved a sigh and said coolly, ��This matter was indeed this emperor breaking the rules. However, Long Yuan is indeed a genius hard to come by in a million years. Killing him is a pity! Speak, this emperor can promise you a condition!��


    The heavenly emperors had stunned faces, Lord Morningstar actually yielded toward a junior.


    No matter how great your talent was, before growing up, you were also merely a junior.


    On what basis?


    How could they know that Morningstar was wary of that major power behind Ye Yuan!


    These people did not know, but Morningstar was very clear.


    This major power was not a major power on Heavenly Dragon Mountain, but �� a major power sealed in the abyss!


    That place��s existences, each one of them was a major character that shocked heaven and earth.


    He could not afford to provoke!


    Even Heavenly Dragon Mountain could not afford to provoke either!


    ��I want a hundred pieces of dragon origin crystals!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    His objective was not to find trouble. Facing the leviathan, Heavenly Dragon Mountain, his rage was not worth mentioning at all.


    This world always revered strength as supreme.


    If he possessed the strength to destroy Heavenly Dragon Mountain right now, would he still be here expressing his fury?


    No!


    He would trample the entire Heavenly Dragon Mountain underfoot like trampling on Long Yuan.


    Morningstar��s eyes narrowed, and he said, ��What do you want so many dragon origin crystals for? With your current strength, the dragon origin crystal that you refine in the Mist Battlefield is already the limit.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That doesn��t need you to care anymore. I naturally have my own use!��


    Morningstar shook his head and said, ��No way! Dragon origin crystals are the Dragon Clan��s supreme treasure, only heavenly dragons and Sons of the Heavenly Dragon can use. Even the various stronghold��s dragon lords don��t have the qualifications to use them either!��


    Ye Yuan suddenly saw the light. Morningstar was afraid of him bringing dragon origin crystals out, or giving them to others to use.


    One had to know, this dragon origin crystal was much more formidable than whatever true dragon blood.


    Even humans could also skyrocket in strength after refining.


    But he was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that dragon origin crystals were actually so valuable.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Since that��s the case, I��ll refine it here. There��s no problem like this, right?��


    Morningstar was taken aback and said, ��You? Here?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Aren��t you worried that I��d leak dragon origin crystals out? Since that��s the case, then I��ll refine it in front of you. There��s no problem like this, right?��


    Morningstar was speechless and said, ��There��s naturally no issue, but ����


    Ye Yuan directly cut off his words and said coolly, ��No buts, if I can��t refine a hundred pieces, this matter will be considered dropped like this.��


    Already said things to this kind of extent, what could Morningstar still say?


    At once, Morningstar nodded his head and said, ��Okay, but �� act within your capability.��


    But Long Tianyu had a cold sneer on his face and said, ��A hundred pieces? Stuff yourself to death!��


    The others also involuntarily shook their heads. Clearly, they felt that Ye Yuan was looking down on everyone and everything too much.


    ��Each awakening, one can at most only refine 20 pieces of dragon origin crystals. Any more and they won��t be able to withstand it at all. Even if he��s of the perfect seventh transformation, he also can��t withstand a hundred pieces of dragon origin crystals!��


    ��There was once a dragon who forcefully integrated dragon origin crystals. In the end, at the 25th piece, he was forcefully blown up! This kid is courting death!��


    ��Heh heh, so arrogant, I want to see how many dragon origin crystals he can integrate!��


    �� ��


    To Morningstar, dragon origin crystals were naturally not an issue.


    Only to see him flick his sleeves grandly, 100 pieces of dragon origin crystals suspended in midair quietly.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, reached a hand out to pluck off a dragon origin crystal, and directly started refining.


    An indescribable pain started pulsing within his body.


    However, after the origin dragon energy entered the body, Ye Yuan��s heavenly dragon mark actually did not have the slightest reaction.


    The reason why he wanted dragon origin crystals was that Ye Yuan also saw the power of Heavenly Dragon Marks.


    After one awakening, the bloodline rose ten times!


    This kind of strength amplification, how could Ye Yuan not be moved?


    Dragon origin crystals were a specialty product of Heavenly Dragon Mountain. It was now or never! Opportunity seldom knocked twice.


    Hence, he wanted to try whether or not he could stimulate his bloodline power and reach the first awakening.


    The reason why he said 100 pieces was because he was unsure how many he needed.


    Previously in the Mist Battlefield, he already integrated 15 pieces of dragon origin crystals. But the effects did not seem to be very apparent.


    The moment origin dragon energy entered the body, it seemed like a stone sinking into the ocean.

 Chapter 2175 - Divine Stele Injecting Spirit!

    16 pieces!


    17 pieces!


    �� ��


    20 pieces!


    21 pieces!


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan refined six pieces of dragon origin crystals.


    The speed of refining caused everyone to be tongue-tied.


    More importantly, Ye Yuan��s face did not have much of a painful expression, as if he was just doing something ordinary.


    ��Sure enough, a perfect seventh transformation is indestructible!��


    ��This brat��s confidence lies on the perfect seventh transformation, right? But how many can the perfect seventh transformation refine?��


    ��Our dragon race��s physical bodies, which one isn��t extremely tough? Even if it can��t compare to the perfect seventh transformation, the difference also won��t be too much. He can at most refine 30 pieces, and he��ll reach his limits!��


    �� ��


    All around, heavenly emperors and Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were discussing animatedly.


    They felt that the reason why Ye Yuan was a little more formidable than normal people was merely by relying on the perfect seventh transformation. That was all.


    However, along with the quantity refined becoming more and more, Ye Yuan��s pain was indeed rising exponentially.


    He had refined so many dragon origin crystals and absorbed large quantities of origin dragon energy, but the Heavenly Dragon Mark still did not have any activities.


    Rather, it was his cultivation realm that started to slowly climb after absorbing large quantities of dragon origin crystals.


    When Ye Yuan absorbed his 30th piece of dragon origin crystal, people��s expression started to slowly change.


    ��Is this guy a lunatic? He �� Doesn��t he know pain?�� Long Seven looked at Ye Yuan��s facial muscles that were twitching slightly as he said through gritted teeth.


    Talking about it, someone had once refined 25 pieces of dragon origin crystals before.


    But people that were truly able to refine until the 20th piece were extremely, extremely few.


    Because towards the back, barely anyone could withstand that agony at all.


    But Ye Yuan refined 30 pieces of dragon origin crystals in one go. He actually forcefully endured it and did not even make a sound.


    How strong was this fellow��s will?


    Around 30 pieces of dragon origin crystals, that was virtually the limit of all dragons!


    If not for the muscle twitching slightly on Ye Yuan��s face, they would even suspect that refining dragon origin crystals was not painful at all.


    31 pieces!


    32 pieces!


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest intention of stopping, continuing to refine dragon origin crystals.


    The expression on everyone��s faces became more and more fascinating.


    Fine beads of sweat started seeping out on Ye Yuan��s forehead.


    Following the refined dragon origin crystals becoming more and more, the sweat beads became denser and denser, and increasingly larger.


    Meanwhile, the twitching of the muscles on his face also became increasingly stronger.


    54 pieces!


    55 pieces!


    �� ��


    The surrounding crowd��s mouths opened wider and wider until it was practically ear to ear in the end.


    This guy was absolutely a lunatic!


    The unbroken law that Sons of the Heavenly Dragon were unable to refine above 25 pieces was already broken by Ye Yuan long ago.


    Everyone had underestimated Ye Yuan.


    They underestimated the might of a perfect seventh transformation and underestimated Ye Yuan��s powerful and persevering will even more.


    A perfect seventh transformation, what it promoted was not just the strength of the physical body, there was also the tensile strength of the fleshly body.


    Being overly tough was easy to break, but a tough and pliable fleshly body was even more terrifying!


    Other people��s fleshly bodies being unable to withstand it did not mean that Ye Yuan was unable to withstand it.


    As for this anguish, Ye Yuan had long already experienced it no idea how many times!


    This time was merely going through another time!


    Morningstar looked at Ye Yuan and said with a slight sigh, ��For this child to be able to have such accomplishments, what he relies on isn��t merely talent! Most likely, the hardships that he has experienced, ordinary people can��t imagine it at all!��


    Morningstar they all, these old monsters that have lived to an advanced age, were deeply aware of the importance of tribulations to a powerhouse.


    These heavenly emperors in front of them, their talents might not be strong, but the hardships that they experienced were not few.


    Perhaps back then, there were more brilliantly talented geniuses among their peers.


    But those geniuses all faded into the crowd in the end.


    While they walked to this supreme position of Heavenly Emperor.


    Sons of the Heavenly Dragon being unable to refine more dragon origin crystals, actually, a very large degree was because their will was not strong enough.


    This issue totally could not be seen on Ye Yuan.


    No matter how strong the will of the Son of the Heavenly Dragon, they also turned pale in comparison when put in front of Ye Yuan.


    Over 50 pieces of dragon origin crystal already exceeded their imaginations!


    Long Zifeng also smiled bitterly and said, ��Not afraid that others are more talented than you, just afraid that people more talented than you are more hardworking than you! Long Seven, your road after today is still long, understand?��


    Long Seven��s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, ��Long Seven understands!��


    The various Sons of the Heavenly Dragon all revealed pondering looks.


    Ye Yuan��s body had the quality that they lacked, which was also the necessary quality to become a powerhouse.


    Only Long Yuan��s expression flickered. No idea what he was thinking about.


    82 pieces!


    83 pieces!


    �� ��


    89 pieces!


    Just as everyone was already numbed, Ye Yuan��s glabella suddenly seemed to have caught on fire.


    The surging dragon race pressure made everyone present feel heart palpitations!


    Morningstar��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Finally awakened! No, wait, this is ����


    He suddenly raised his head to look towards Heavenly Dragon Mountain. Sure enough, a white light beam fell from the sky and landed directly on Ye Yuan��s body.


    The Heavenly Dragon Mark at Ye Yuan��s glabella actually turned into one line after another, burrowing into his chest like tiny snakes.


    ��Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! This boy ���� Morningstar opened his mouth wide, a look of disbelief as he said.


    He suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something wrong!


    If he was a little more decisive, extending a helping hand when Ye Yuan was fighting with Long Yuan.


    Even if Ye Yuan did not need his help, his current attitude would also be vastly different!


    Long Xiaochun had a doubtful look and asked in puzzlement, ��Divine Stele Injecting Spirit? What is that?��


    Morningstar sighed emotionally and said, ��The Heavenly Dragon Mark is born from the Dragon Mark Monument sensing dragon race bloodline. When your bloodline reaches the requirement of the Dragon Mark Monument, the Dragon Mark Monument will produce a resonance with your bloodline power, awakening from there. Of course, the requirement that the Dragon Mark Monument has for each awakening is different.��


    Morningstar paused for a bit, took a deep breath before saying, ��But there is an exception! When your bloodline power is strong to a certain degree, the Dragon Mark Monument will take the initiative to inject a trace of dragon spirit into you, representing acknowledgment toward you! This is Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! And dragons that had obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit have a possibility of becoming �� the next Dragon Ancestor!��


    Long Xiaochun opened her mouth wide, shock written all over her face.


    While the other dragons were all staring dumbfoundedly with their tongues tied, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Dragon Ancestor, that was the progenitor of all dragons, the strongest dragon race bloodline powerhouse!


    All these countless dragons were his descendants.


    After each generation of Dragon Ancestor, no idea how many hundreds of millions of years needed to pass before the next Dragon Ancestor would be born.


    Because of this, it carried on from generation to generation.


    Of course, it was only a possibility. It was not a certainty.


    In a period, there would always have several Divine Stele Injecting Spirit appear.


    But there was only one that would become Dragon Ancestor in the end!


    No one could have thought that after Ye Yuan refined the dragon origin crystals, it would actually produce such an unforeseen turn of events.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes and gave a cold snort.


    A streak of lightning flashed past, the imprint in the Heavenly Dragon Mark was directly wiped away!


    ��Heh, I knew that there was nothing good! Turns out that it was hiding here!�� Ye Yuan slowly stood up and said with a cold smile.

 Chapter 2176 - Leaving

    In the deepest parts of the abyss, a light cry of surprise suddenly transmitted over.


    Following that, several powerful auras started surging.


    ��What��s wrong, Boss?�� Bai Chen��s voice came in the midst of darkness.


    After being silent for a moment, the mysterious powerhouse slowly said, ��That kid �� erased the imprint that you left behind!��


    Bai Chen was slightly surprised and said, ��This isn��t possible, right? Just based on his strength, he can discover the concealed means that I left behind? Unless ����


    ��That��s right! Under the dragon spirit, nothing can hide! He �� is already acknowledged by the Dragon Mark Monument!�� The mysterious powerhouse��s words carried some marveling.


    ��What? Old Bai just bestowed the Heavenly Dragon Mark and he obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit?��


    ��This kid has Your Father��s style back then!��


    ��Another Divine Stele Injecting Spirit! Looks like �� the next Dragon Ancestor is about to be born!��


    �� ��


    The moment mysterious powerhouse��s words came out, a series of exclamation came over from the darkness.


    Clearly, Divine Stele Injecting Spirit was also an extremely major thing to them as well.


    Bai Chen suddenly said, ��This boy, when I saw him back then, I kept feeling that he was extremely unusual! His realm was clearly not worth mentioning, but �� I had a feeling of being unable to see through. Looking at it now, this boy is indeed extraordinary!��


    The mysterious powerhouse said, ��Heaven shall confer great responsibility onto this person! A great era is arriving, capable people are emerging! Now that the seal is getting more and more unstable, it likely can��t last much longer. Once the abyss opens, the Heavenspan World will be plunged into an abyss of misery and suffering again! But what I��m most worried about isn��t this! Perhaps, this boy is where the hope of this era lies!��


    When everyone heard that, they all fell silent.


    �� ��


    The white light faded. Ye Yuan slowly stood up.


    His upper garment was long already incinerated by blazing flames, revealing a strong muscular body.


    A golden dragon was imprinted onto his chest as if it was a living thing.


    Even if it was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, in front of this golden dragon, they actually also had an impulse to prostrate in worship.


    If not for their realm being too high, they would probably have long already knelt down.


    However, the other Sons of the Heavenly Dragon did not have this kind of strength.


    This horrifying bloodline pressure directly pressured them until they knelt on the ground!


    Only Long Xiaochun alone was not affected.


    Long Yuan wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. He cracked himself up to be the Dragon Clan��s number one genius. But now, he did not even have the qualifications to carry Ye Yuan��s shoes anymore!


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, a white long robe was already put on his body.


    He cupped his fists lightly toward Morningstar and said coolly, ��Senior, now that things are over, this Ye takes my leave!��


    Morningstar��s face changed and he hurriedly said, ��Hold on! You can��t go!��


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said unhappily, ��Why? Does Senior still have something?��


    Morningstar��s expression flickered incessantly and he said, ��Ye Yuan, the matter previously was all this emperor��s fault! Now, this emperor sincerely welcomes you to join Heavenly Dragon Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled when he heard that and said, ��No need. There is little common ground for understanding between persons of differing principles! Moreover, this Ye still has more important things to do. I won��t be going up Heavenly Dragon Mountain!��


    Previously, you looked down on me. Now that you saw that my bloodline was powerful, you want to keep me behind?


    The pride in Ye Yuan��s heart was far greater than Long Yuan��s.


    It was just that he had experienced the many vicissitudes of life and would not show it at all, that was all.


    But this kind of pride was carved into his bones.


    Some things, he was disdainful to do!


    Morningstar��s face fell and he said, ��Ye Yuan, since you obtained the Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, I��m afraid that leaving or staying isn��t up to you anymore!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a light smile, ��You want to forcefully keep me back?


    Morningstar said, ��If you refuse to realize your mistake, then this emperor can only take action!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, ��Heh, in the end, your bones still think that I��m a different species! I obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit. Your Heavenly Dragon Mountain �� will probably find it hard to eat and sleep after today, right?��


    Morningstar��s expression was somewhat ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, I hope that you don��t force me to take action!��


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��I, Ye Yuan, will rather break than bend! Want to make me go up the mountain, make your move then!��


    At this time, Long Xiaochun suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan. Staring fixedly at Morningstar, she said, ��Grandpa Morningstar, if you dare to make a move against Ye Yuan, I��ll never go up the mountain!��


    Morningstar��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Xiaochun, this is a serious matter! Don��t mess around! Move aside!��


    ��I��m not moving!��


    Morningstar��s two eyes narrowed, his finger pointed lightly. Long Xiaochun then fainted.


    With his strength, it was too easy to deal with Long Xiaochun.


    Morningstar looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��I��ll be offending you then!��


    Facing an opponent like Morningstar, even if Ye Yuan obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, it was also completely impossible to be a match.


    A late-stage Heavenly Emperor, that was a supreme level powerhouse who was capable of truly looking down upon the world.


    Morningstar had not made a move yet, and Ye Yuan felt a giant mountain-like pressure descend on his body.


    Just as Morningstar was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed drastically!


    The imposing aura on his body withdrew, and he let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it, leave!��


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help being very surprised.


    Lord Morningstar actually shrunk back?


    The Long Yuan who was originally waiting to watch a good show could not help dropping his glasses.


    Just as he thought that Ye Yuan was finally going to be forced to submit, Morningstar actually brushed it over easily!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Who was that person?��


    His heart was akin to a clear mirror, immediately aware that it was that major power who bestowed him the Heavenly Dragon mark that gave the order.


    It was just that he was very curious about that person��s identity.


    Morningstar shook his head and said, ��When the time is right, you��ll naturally know! Ye Yuan, remember, no matter where you go, you��ll always be my Dragon Clan��s pride!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he turned around and left.


    He had a lot of fetters with the Dragon Clan and also did not have any irreconcilable conflicts, there was naturally no way to cut away.


    It was just that he did not like Morningstar��s way of doing things. That was all.


    After Ye Yuan left, Long Tianyu��s face revealed an indignant expression and he said, ��Lord Morningstar, letting him go just like that? On his body, there��s the Dragon Clan��s destiny!��


    Although he did not want to admit it, Long Tianyu still had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan��s talent already exceeded their understanding.


    The significance of Ye Yuan��s existence was also far more important than they imagined!


    How could such a person move around freely outside?


    Morningstar��s face fell and he yelled coldly, ��Does this emperor still need you to direct me how to do things? Get lost!��


    Long Tianyu��s expression changed, and he could only retreat to one side obediently.


    Morningstar currently needed a target to vent at this time and Long Tianyu ran out.


    Scold who if not him?


    At this time, Morningstar��s heart was surging turbulently like a tsunami!


    It turned out that that legendary lord was actually still alive!


    It turned out that Ye Yuan��s Heavenly Dragon Mark was actually bestowed by him!


    Ye Yuan was actually the person that he picked!


    How many years had he already not appeared?


    Including those supreme powerhouses of Heavenly Dragon Mountain, they all also thought that that lord had already died long ago.


    Morningstar did not think that he was actually still living in this world!


    This news made his mind, a late-stage Heavenly Emperor��s mental state, shook.


    Earlier, in front of Ye Yuan, he barely managed to maintain composure and nearly broke decorum.


    He was thinking, if anything really happened to Ye Yuan earlier, would that lord directly smack him to death with one slap or not?

 Chapter 2177 - Is There Still a Need to Compete After Another Thousand Years?

    At the Falling Maple Mountain Range in the Middle Realms.


    This place was endowed with a beautiful scenic environment, immortal qi lingering in the air. The entire mountain range was hidden in the fog, unable to see the actual situation.


    Powerful spiritual energy was akin to the spring rain, nourishing everything in the mountain range.


    On a narrow winding trail, a man and a woman were walking shoulder to shoulder, moving along.


    ��Young Master, is Elder Sister Li-er really here?��


    ��That��s right! I��d once inquired from Jian Sutao before; Lin Changqing came from Fallen Maple Bodhidharma!��


    ��Is this Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple very strong?��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple is Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, an extremely famous powerhouse of the Middle Realms!��


    ��Then �� if he harms you?��


    ��He �� won��t dare!��


    This one man and one woman were none other than precisely the Ye Yuan and Lu-er who came from afar.


    After leaving Heavenly Dragon Mountain, Ye Yuan went back to release Long Xiao and the rest, and signed a soul contract with them, taking them in as servants.


    Following that, he ordered Ning Tianping to bring along Long Xiao, Loneswan, Long Xun, and the rest to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    While he brought along Lu-er and directly came to the Middle Realms�� Fallen Maple Mountain Range.


    Now that his strength was already sufficient, Ye Yuan could not wait a moment longer, directly rushing up to Fallen Maple Bodhidharma to find Li-er.


    After the Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, Ye Yuan��s realm skyrocketed once more.


    Presently, his realm was already comparable to a Second Firmament Empyrean.


    After Chaos Realm, Ye Yuan��s realm was completely different from before.


    Chaos Realm was divided into initial-stage, middle-stage, and late-stage. Before reaching the middle-stage, he would not encounter bottlenecks.


    But according to the division of Empyrean Realm, his strength was currently roughly equivalent to a Second Firmament Empyrean.


    While his chaos world also expanded to a distance of 5000 feet already.


    ��Halt!�� The two people were currently walking when two people suddenly jumped out of the fog, blocking the two people��s path.


    One of them said in a solemn voice, ��This place isn��t a place that you guys should come to! Hurry up and leave!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Demon Clan��s Priest Temple��s Second Sage and Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son, Ye Yuan, came to keep the agreement with Lin Changqing!��


    When the two people heard that, their faces could not help changing.


    These two titles, either one could scare people to death.


    The demon race��s Priest Temple was one of the demon race��s top factions.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was an existence second only to the Medicine Ancestor in the Heavenspan World.


    The Priest Temple��s Second Sage, what kind of existence was that?


    As for the Dragon Clan, that was even more terrifying!


    Although the Dragon Clan was reclusive, the Heavenspan World never lacked legends of the dragon race.


    Major powers emerged from this clan, it was a genuine apex race.


    The Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son �� Using one��s butt to think, they would also know that he was extraordinary.


    ��This guy looks very ordinary, saying that he has such a big background. He wouldn��t be bluffing people, right?��


    ��Are you stupid?! We can��t see through this guy��s depths at all! He��s likely at least an Empyrean class powerhouse too! The two of us can��t make the call for this matter. Better invite Lord Yufeng to make a decision!��


    ��Right, right! What you said is right!��


    The two people discussed softly for a while and said to Ye Yuan, ��This lord, you wait for a moment. We��ll go in and report!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and did not mind.


    Before long, a middle-aged man wearing an exquisite long robe slowly walked out of the fog.


    He sized Ye Yuan up and said with a frown, ��This little brother, you said that you have an agreement with Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a nod, ��That��s right! A life-and-death agreement!��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of Zheng Yufeng and the guards changed wildly.


    They all did not think that Ye Yuan was actually here to cause trouble!


    Zheng Yufeng said in a solemn voice, ��Your esteemed self have such gall, to actually dare come to our Fallen Maple Bodhidharma to cause trouble!��


    Ye Yuan flipped his palm over, a token appeared in his hand.


    A profound and archaic aura hit him in the face.


    Zheng Yufeng��s expression changed drastically. He could sense that the aura on this token was much stronger than even his master��s aura! It was absolutely not an ordinary item!


    On the face of the token, two large, simple, and archaic characters were written on it, ��Second Sage��!


    This Second Sage Token was brought by Ji Mo back then. It was personally forged by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. It was used to symbolize Ye Yuan��s identity.


    It was one of a kind!


    ��This token was given by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. I think that in this world, there shouldn��t be more than a few people who can imitate it, right? If you still have doubts, then take a look at this!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pulled aside his lapel, revealing the golden dragon imprint on his chest.


    Seeing this golden dragon, Zheng Yufeng��s expression became even uglier.


    That golden dragon was incomparably ferocious, as if it was a living thing; as if in the next instant, it was going to pounce over and bite him to death!


    He was not aware of the Dragon Clan��s matters. But a Second Sage newly-emerging in the Demon Clan, cracking the eternal chess game, ��Ask Not��, he had heard of it.


    He previously still thought that some major power emerged in the Demon Clan. He did not expect that the so-called Second Sage was actually so young!


    Even more so, he never expected that the Demon Clan��s Second Sage was actually a human!


    Zheng Yufeng��s heart shook wildly. When did Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing provoke such a powerful existence?


    At this time, Zheng Yufeng no longer doubted and said with cupped fists, ��Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple��s disciple, Zheng Yufeng, pays respect to Second Sage! I wonder how Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing offended Lord Second Sage? Yufeng will apologize on his behalf!��


    Behind the Second Sage stood Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Even if it was Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple, he also had to give this face.


    Let alone that behind this fellow also stood the Dragon Clan!


    The reason why Ye Yuan flashed his identity the moment he came up was in order to make Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple cautious in taking action and be wary of the forces behind him.


    Presumably, with Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s and the Dragon Clan��s forces, it was sufficient to intimidate all sides.


    So what if he was a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��There��s no need to apologize! More than a thousand years ago, Lin Changqing suddenly appeared in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and made a 2000 year life-and-death agreement with me! We signed a divine soul contract and will not rest until we��re dead!��


    Zheng Yufeng��s expression changed again, secretly cursing to no end in his heart.


    Could this Lin Changqing��s head be spoiled? To actually go and sign a divine soul agreement with Second Sage, never resting until they were dead?


    He suddenly thought that something was not right and said in puzzlement, ��Since it��s a 2000 year agreement, then the time shouldn��t be up yet as of today. Why did Lord Second Sage come here now?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Another thousand years and I��ll be able to kill him by huffing out a breath, will there still be a need to compete?��


    A thousand years ago, when Lin Changqing descended upon Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Ye Yuan was still only at the Celestial Deity Realm and did not even reach the True God Realm.


    A thousand years later, Ye Yuan was already an exalted Empyrean, looking down upon the world!


    A thousand years�� time was very short in other people��s eyes.


    But to Ye Yuan, he took that short period to complete the transformation from Celestial Deity to being an Empyrean!


    Presumably, when Lin Changqing saw him, he would definitely jump right out of his skin, right?


    Zheng Yufeng naturally did not know this, his brows knitted tightly and he said unhappily, ��Lord Second Sage��s status is noble, but you��re also looking down on our Fallen Maple Bodhidharma too much, right? With Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing��s talent, he might not be inferior to you, Second Sage, a thousand years later!��


    He felt that this Second Sage was too condescending, so his tone also became blunt.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said smilingly, ��Whether I��m looking down or not, you let Lin Changqing come out to meet me and you��ll know. I think that even if I lend him some guts, he also won��t dare to drag on any longer.��

 Chapter 2178 - You’re Making Me Look At This?

    ��Mn? You��re saying that Ye Yuan came?��


    When Lin Changqing heard this name, he immediately jumped up. A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    Back then, he was also triggered by Ye Yuan. So he worked very hard and cultivated bitterly.


    In over a short thousand years, he already broke through to become a Second Firmament Empyrean!


    This speed was already quick to the extreme among those in the Empyrean Realm.


    Zheng Yufeng nodded and said, ��That��s right! He��s currently at Sunset Peak!��


    Lin Changqing laughed loudly and said, ��This kid should be here to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, right? However �� he dared to covet Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li. I must have him die!��


    Zheng Yufeng��s expression became peculiar, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Looking at his appearance, he doesn��t look like he��s here to beg for mercy!��


    Lin Changqing waved his hand and said very surely, ��He must be here to beg for mercy! The 2000 years agreement isn��t up yet. So why would he come to Fallen Maple Bodhidharma? Back then, when I saw him, he hadn��t even reached the True God Realm. It can��t be that he cultivated to Empyrean in a thousand year��s time, right?��


    With this, Zheng Yufeng also became somewhat uncertain.


    Ye Yuan was just like a mortal in front of him. He could not see through his depths at all.


    While talking, Ye Yuan gave him an unfathomable feeling.


    In the beginning, he still thought that Ye Yuan was an Empyrean powerhouse.


    But hearing Lin Changqing, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to be an Empyrean.


    In this world, which monster could cultivate from the Celestial Deity Realm to the Empyrean Realm in a short thousand years�� time?


    Perhaps Ye Yuan was relying on his identity and oppressing people by force.


    Zheng Yufeng still wanted to say something when Lin Changqing already left with a loud laugh.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother, still in a daze here for what? Follow me to go teach this punk a good lesson!��


    He already could not wait and wanted to devastate Ye Yuan.


    This kid embarrassed him badly back then!


    Now that he delivered himself to the doorstep, if he did not humiliate him well, how could he dispel the hatred in his heart?


    �� ��


    Sunset Peak was the first peak of Fallen Maple Bodhidharma, and it was also where the entrance to the mountain was.


    Ye Yuan stood on the plaza, carefully feeling the thick to the extreme spiritual energy all around, and he could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion.


    This Fallen Maple Bodhidharma should be on an offset of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Cultivating in this kind of place would simply yield twice the results with half the effort!


    Just as he was ruminating, Ye Yuan��s gaze suddenly flickered, looking at the arrival with a smile that was not a smile.


    ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, you want to beg for mercy from this empyrean? This empyrean tells you, it��s impossible!�� Lin Changqing took a step out of the void and used a sympathetic gaze to look at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was also sizing up Lin Changqing.


    Recalling back then, when Lin Changqing descended upon Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, how haughty and all-powerful was that?


    If not for Treasure Pig flying off the handle and sending him flying with a sneeze, perhaps Ye Yuan would have long been killed by Lin Changqing.


    Even if the Ye Yuan back then had millions of methods, he could only look and do nothing.


    But a thousand years passed. Lin Changqing broke through his cultivation realm and became a Second Firmament Empyrean. Even so, now he could no longer muster up Ye Yuan��s interest.


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, he could smack a Second Firmament Empyrean to death with one slap.


    No matter how strong this Second Firmament Empyrean was!


    Looking at Lin Changqing again, Ye Yuan��s eyes already carried a trace of pity.


    ��Lin Changqing, not seeing you for a thousand years, you disappoint me too much,�� Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Lin Changqing laughed coldly and said, ��What? Want to preserve the last of your dignity? It��s no use! During these 1000 years, this empyrean��s strength has already grown to an extent that you can��t imagine! Experience it well!��


    Finished talking, the aura on Lin Changqing��s body erupted out without the slightest reservation.


    On Sunset Peak, the berserk aura swept out, making people give sidelong glances.


    ��Martial Uncle Changqing has actually already broken through, becoming a Second Firmament Empyrean! His cultivation speed is also too fast, right?��


    ��These �� These are three types of laws, Martial Uncle Changqing actually fused three kinds of law powers!��


    ��Who is that kid? To actually dare provoke Martial Uncle Changqing, is he tired of living?��


    �� ��


    Lin Changqing��s seniority in Fallen Maple Bodhidharma was extremely high. His talent was also extremely great.


    He had not shown himself for a long time. Now that he displayed his strength, it directly renewed the understanding of his fellow apprentices, and it naturally aroused a wave of exclamations.


    At this time, Zheng Yufeng also just happened to rush over. Seeing Lin Changqing reveal his strength, his pupils could not help constricting.


    ��Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing he �� is also too monstrous!��


    In terms of talent, Lin Changqing was first-rate among them fellow apprentice brothers.


    His cultivation time was the shortest, but it was already almost catching up to them, these senior apprentice brothers.


    In this 1000 years, Lin Changqing dwelt in the deep seclusion of his own home and virtually rarely showed face.


    Before closed-seclusion, he still only fused two kinds of law powers.


    Zheng Yufeng did not expect that now, he actually fused three kinds of law powers!


    Fusing two kinds of law powers and fusing three kinds, those were totally different concepts.


    If they all, these people, were geniuses, then Lin Changqing was the genius among geniuses!


    He already won these senior apprentice brothers!


    Feeling the strength that Lin Changqing exhibited, Ye Yuan was also slightly surprised.


    Just looking at this scene before his eyes, Lin Changqing��s talent was even stronger than the Northernmost Steppe��s Feng Tianyang!


    Well-deserving of being a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda! The disciples were indeed outstandingly talented.


    It was just that �� Ye Yuan��s realm was significantly lower than Feng Tianyang��s back then and he already annihilated him.


    Now that his realm was on par with Lin Changqing��s, how could Ye Yuan take him seriously?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan��s current trump cards were far more compared to that time!


    ��Hahaha, saw that? Only a genius like this empyrean can match up to Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li! An ant like you also have delusions of grandeur, wanting to contend with a proud eagle too? Now, beg me! Maybe �� I��ll be so benevolent that I��ll let you off!�� Lin Changqing said with a loud laugh.


    What he and Ye Yuan signed was a divine soul contract and not a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    If both parties were willing, they could get rid of the agreement.


    Of course, it must be both parties agreeing. If one party was not willing, this agreement would continue taking effect.


    Zheng Yufeng looked at Ye Yuan and could not help smiling coldly.


    So what if Second Sage?


    So what if the Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son?


    Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing was also a peerless genius that was hard to come across in a million years!


    Even if Ye Yuan could surpass Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing in the future, he did not have that time either!


    Over 2000 years�� time, it was simply insufficient to let Ye Yuan catch up to Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing.


    Ye Yuan was improving, but Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing was similarly improving!


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help but laugh in spite of himself and said, ��Lin Changqing, really don��t know where your sense of superiority comes from. You once bragged and boasted to be a genius in front of me, but now, a thousand years have passed, you��re just letting me look at this? What��s even more laughable is that you��re actually still patting yourself on the back!��


    Lin Changqing��s face fell slightly and he said in a cold voice, ��Brat, you really don��t want face when it��s given! Posturing isn��t done like this! You know that by getting a treasure that blocks your strength and using tricks to mislead people, you can be impudent in front of this empyrean? If not for that the 2000 years agreement hasn��t arrived yet, this empyrean would slap you to death with one palm right now!��


    ��Treasure that blocks strength? Using tricks to mislead people??��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth revealed a hint of amusement, and he said with a light smile, ��Then open your eyes and take a look at whether or not I��m using tricks to mislead people then!��

 Chapter 2179 - What Kind of Ant You Are!

    With Ye Yuan as the center, a circular aura slowly pushed outward.


    Under Ye Yuan��s aura, Lin Changqing��s world domain seemed like paper paste, directly being crumbled apart.


    That feeling was like an egg meeting a rock.


    Lin Changqing��s expression changed wildly, frenziedly urging his world power, attempting to block Ye Yuan��s advancement.


    However, it was no use at all!


    The two people��s engagement was like a strongman and a child pushing each other.


    The strongman pushed the child completely one-sidedly.


    The aura extended out very quickly, reaching a distance of 5000 feet.


    This radius of 5000 feet was water-tight and impregnable. Ye Yuan was the sovereign!


    Everyone looked at this scene in shock. They were unable to imagine why Ye Yuan��s domain would be so solid.


    The Lin Changqing who was likewise a Second Firmament Empyrean actually did not even have the strength to fight back.


    Lin Changqing��s himself, his eyeballs even popped out.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a stunned face, just feeling that his mind was somewhat numb and unable to wrap itself around this.


    ��You �� You �� Second Firmament Empyrean, this �� How is this possible?��


    Lin Changqing somewhat doubted whether or not his eyes had problems.


    He thought before, Ye Yuan was extraordinarily gifted and could break through to the True God Realm in a short thousand years.


    He could even break through to the late-stage True God Realm.


    But he never dreamed that Ye Yuan only used a short thousand years�� time to go from being a Celestial Deity to becoming a Second Firmament Empyrean!


    Now, Ye Yuan was already standing on the same starting line as him!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s domain power was extremely condensed. It was clearly more than a level higher than him.


    This indicated that Ye Yuan did not pursue speed blindly and disregard his foundation.


    This �� How was this possible?


    Zheng Yufeng also opened his mouth wide, with disbelief written all over his face.


    Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing had always been called a monster in Fallen Maple Bodhidharma. His talent was extremely great and his cultivation speed extremely fast.


    But his talent was simply trash in front of Ye Yuan!


    ��Remember that a certain somebody said before, I and Li-er and you, will never be people of the same world! You said it correctly! You and I will never be people of the same world!��


    Ye Yuan��s words struck the heart directly, making Lin Changqing��s mind trembled.


    The same sentence, but the meaning that it had was entirely different.


    That was a kind of contempt that looked down from a height!


    A thousand years later, Ye Yuan and his positions had quietly switched over.


    He had never thought much of Ye Yuan before from the bottom of his heart.


    An ant that came from an imperial city, how could he compete with him, this peerless heaven��s chosen that came from a Bodhidharma?


    But Ye Yuan used Second Firmament Empyrean cultivation and shattered all of his pride to smithereens!


    This was just a thousand years!


    Another thousand years, what realm would Ye Yuan reach?


    The 2000 years agreement �� was truly laughable!


    A thousand years later, just based on his cultivation realm, Ye Yuan would be able to trample him to death like stepping on an ant!


    Zheng Yufeng had a vacant look, he finally understood what Ye Yuan��s words when he entered the mountain meant.


    ��A thousand years later, I can even kill him by puffing out a breath. Is there still a need to compete?��


    Yes, there was naturally no need to compete anymore!


    A thousand years later, Ye Yuan would at least be at the middle-stage Empyrean Realm, or even a late-stage Empyrean Realm major power.


    While Lin Changqing would at most be a Third Firmament Empyrean.


    But even if Ye Yuan was only at the late-stage Empyrean Realm, smacking Lin Changqing to death with one slap would be sufficient.


    So what even if fused together three kinds of law powers?


    Suddenly, Lin Changqing seemed to have thought of something, his gaze turning intent.


    Right, I still fused three kinds of law powers!


    Even if he is Second Firmament Empyrean, so what?


    In the same rank, I��m invincible!


    He sucked in a deep breath, the proud demeanor on his body recovered once more, and he looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Good! Since your present realm already caught up to mine, then our life-and-death agreement can be brought forward in advance!��


    These words were somewhat shameless, even Zheng Yufeng felt his face turn red.


    He clearly knew that he would not be able to win a thousand years later, he wanted to bring the fight forward now, what was this if not shameless?


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing, his eyes full of pity as he said with a light smile, ��Are you sure?��


    Lin Changqing smiled coldly and said, ��What? Are you scared?��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, ��Lin Changqing, back then, when you came to Heavenly Eagle, you viewed me as an ant and said that I couldn��t match up to Li-er. Today, I��ll let you see that you��re just an ant in my eyes, and also just how powerful Li-er��s man is!��


    Hearing Ye Yuan said it like this, Lin Changqing felt his jealousy peak.


    He thought that by relying on his talent, he would be able to move Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li one day.


    He also knew that for so many years, Li-er��s heart had never wavered before.


    And now, Ye Yuan even grew to the extent of making him fearful.


    Looking at it now, these two people were so fitting.


    He became a clown instead!


    But at this point now, it was clearly not the time to want face anymore.


    ��Fine, since that��s the case, then let��s amend the divine soul contract and start the life-and-death wager now!�� Lin Changqing said with a cold sneer.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��The ignorant are truly fearless! You��re still obsessing over the wager? That is no longer important! Isn��t your reliance having fused together three kinds of law powers? Now, I��ll stand right here, unleash your strongest strike. I��ll let you see what kind of an ant you are!��


    Lin Changqing could not help being taken aback when he heard that.


    Could this guy be a fool?


    On Sunset Peak, a wave of snickering also came over.


    ��Where did this guy pop out from? Ran all the way here from afar to seek death?��


    ��Heh heh, strength is decent, but his head isn��t useful.��


    ��In this world, I��ve yet to hear that in the same rank, someone dares to withstand an attack that fused three kinds of laws!��


    �� ��


    After a thousand years of growth, Lin Changqing was no long no longer his goal.


    Lin Changqing��s talent compared to Long Yuan was worlds apart.


    Long Yuan was trampled underfoot by Ye Yuan, let alone Lin Changqing?


    Killing Lin Changqing was merely a matter of snapping a finger.


    Even if he really killed, Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple also would not dare to say much.


    But this place was the Bodhidharma that Li-er was at any rate. Furthermore, it looked like Li-er should have received considerable benefits in this place.


    Even though Lin Changqing was Li-er��s pursuer, he could tell that he had more of admiration toward Li-er and was not shameless like Long Hao.


    If he really killed Lin Changqing, it would not be good for everyone, and it would also make things difficult for Li-er.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to kill him either.


    However, Ye Yuan still wanted to let Lin Changqing know that not only was he, Ye Yuan, worthy of Li-er.


    Furthermore, in this world, only he was worthy of Li-er!


    Canceling the divine soul agreement, Lin Changqing was still somewhat in the clouds, feeling puzzled.


    Could this guy really be a fool?


    ��Ye Yuan, have you thought carefully? If this sword of mine goes down, you��ll die!�� Lin Changqing said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��I��m just letting you take a look at how great the disparity between you and me is!��


    Lin Changqing��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Since you��re bent on seeking death, I presume that Li-er won��t blame me either! Bluecloud Truefeather Sword!��


    One sword unleashing, three kinds of power of laws interweaved together, virtually slicing space apart.


    The incomparably swift and fierce sword light slashed through the void and headed straight for Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Facing this astonishing sword, his expression did not change and his heart did not race, without the slightest intention of avoiding.


    Bang!


    The void trembled, the earth shook.


    But Ye Yuan was as stable as Mount Tai, not budging an inch!

 Chapter 2180 - Repeated Blows!

    On Sunset Peak, everyone��s expression became extremely fascinating!


    This move that was an attack sufficient to cleave apart mountains actually did not leave any traces on Ye Yuan��s body!


    Similarly a Second Firmament Empyrean, why would such a thing happen?


    Only after a while did everyone came to realize the truth, cries of exclamations linking up.


    ��Really blinded my dog eyes! Martial Uncle Changqing wouldn��t be intentionally going easy, right?��


    ��Facing a same rank opponent, no matter how weak the opponent, it��s also impossible to be completely unscathed by standing there and letting the other party hit, right?��


    ��Martial Uncle Changqing fused three kinds of law powers. Even a Third Firmament Empyrean also wouldn��t dare to forcefully resist his attacks, right?��


    �� ��


    Lin Changqing was a celestial figure in the eyes of these fellow sect members, an existence that they were unable to reach at all.


    But today, Lin Changqing went all out and actually failed to leave behind any traces on his opponent��s body.


    This kind of impact was seriously too intense.


    Lin Changqing had a blank face. Looking at the Ye Yuan who was proud and unmoving, he muttered, ��That��s impossible! This �� How is this possible? Bluecloud Truefeather Sword actually can��t even leave a mark on his body?��


    His words were full of a bitter flavor.


    At this instant, he truly experienced the disparity between him and Ye Yuan.


    Even just now, when Ye Yuan reached Second Firmament Empyrean, he still had not despaired like so before.


    He still felt that he could compete with him, and that he still had the right to speak as equals.


    But at this very moment, the last of his pride was also crushed into pieces!


    Ye Yuan was already powerful until it made him despair!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and said coolly, ��This brother, you watched the show for so long. Shouldn��t you show yourself now?��


    Everyone��s expression changed and could not help looking around.


    Sure enough, a middle-aged person slowly walked out of the void and lightly clasped his hands at Ye Yuan as he said, ��Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple��s eldest disciple, Jun Mingxin, pays respect to the Priest Temple��s Second Sage! Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing offended Second Sage; this emperor apologizes on his behalf! Many thanks to Second Sage for showing mercy!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said coolly, ��He��s at any rate Li-er��s senior apprentice brother too. On the account of Li-er��s face, I spared his life, that��s all.��


    Jun Mingxin smiled slightly and said, ��Second Sage coming to Fallen Maple, our humble place is honored by your presence. Master is already waiting on the main peak. Second Sage, let us move now.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright, lead the way.��


    ��Please!��


    Jun Mingxing and Ye Yuan, one in front, one at the back, disappeared from Sunset Peak.


    Murmur!


    With this, Sunset Peak completely burst into an uproar.


    ��What did I see? Great Martial Uncle, an exalted Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, actually apologized to that young man?��


    ��What did Great Martial Uncle say? Second Sage? What��s that?��


    ��Who the hell knows, but he��s definitely an incredible existence! Otherwise, him being someone only at the Empyrean Realm, why would Great Martial Uncle treat him with such respect?��


    �� ��


    Everyone clamored to get a word in, all speculating Ye Yuan��s identity.


    But their levels were too low and could not come into contact with Second Sage this concept at all.


    Lin Changqing stood transfixed on the spot. Until now, he still had not reacted to what was going on.


    Zheng Yufeng went up and patted his shoulder, saying with a sigh, ��Actually, until just now, I still wasn��t willing to believe that he was the Priest Temple��s Second Sage, an existence whose status is second only to the Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Even the 11 great disciples are all beneath him!��


    Lin Changqing��s entire body trembled, using a look of disbelief to look toward Zheng Yufeng.


    He cultivated bitterly in closed-seclusion these few years and completely did not know about the outside world��s affairs.


    But the Priest Temple, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, as well as what kind of figures the Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s 11 great disciples were, he was aware.


    Ye Yuan actually lorded above the 11 great disciples!


    How was this possible?


    Was this Ye Yuan really the same person as the ant that he had once seen before at the imperial city?


    Zheng Yufeng looked at Lin Changqing somewhat sympathetically. He knew how great the blow this time was to Lin Changqing.


    When an existence whom you once viewed as an ant suddenly stood in front of you


    And used a gaze that looked down from a height to look at you, and you did not have the slightest strength leftover to resist.


    That kind of despair was truly unable to use words to describe.


    Only using a thousand years�� time, not only did Ye Yuan complete an all-round transcending in terms of strength, but in terms of status, he also completed a super magnificent transformation.


    Even his master would likely have to show Ye Yuan some respect too, right?


    After all, Second Sage was not merely a simple person!


    The status signified that Ye Yuan was the Priest Temple��s number two figure, being an existence that no one could blaspheme!


    ��Also, that sword earlier, he was able to remain perfectly unharmed. He likely cultivated the legendary perfect seventh transformation golden body! Furthermore �� it doesn��t seem to be just so simple! He said himself that he��s also the Dragon Clan��s Heaven Chosen Son!��


    Zheng Yufeng could not quite bear to shoot down this junior apprentice brother, but some things, he had to let Lin Changqing know.


    Because Lin Changqing��s matters probably would not be left at this.


    Ye Yuan not killing Lin Changqing, that was him being magnanimous.


    But, Fallen Maple Bodhidharma provoked such a major god, could it be that it was left at that just like this?


    Lin Changqing��s gaze turned slack, he was virtually breaking down.


    A thousand years later, the blow that Ye Yuan��s transformation gave people was virtually catastrophic!


    Heaven��s chosen?


    Truly laughable!


    In front of such a monster, who dared to claim to be heaven��s chosen?


    Indeed, he and Ye Yuan were not people of the same world at all!


    ��These �� These 1000 years, what in the world happened? O-Oh right, where��s Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li? Why didn��t she appear?�� Lin Changqing suddenly thought of something and asked.


    Zheng Yufeng opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but then he swallowed the words back.


    �� ��


    Inside a great hall at the main peak, an old man sat up straight.


    Ye Yuan followed Jun Mingxin and slowly walked in.


    ��Master, Second Sage has arrived!��


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��I pay respects to Senior Fallen Maple!��


    Fallen Maple��s gaze flickered slightly, and he said with a faint smile, ��This emperor has long heard that Second Sage resolved the eternal chess game, Ask Not, and is the current generation��s number one alchemy outstanding figure. I didn��t expect that you were actually so young!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior is too kind.��


    Fallen Maple was slightly surprised in his heart, Ye Yuan had no joy nor sorrow on his face. It was as if he was a deep chasm.


    As a Heavenly Emperor, he actually could not quite see through this young man.


    On Ye Yuan��s body, there was not the slightest trace of a peerless heaven��s chosen��s wild arrogance, and also not the flippantness that a youngster should have.


    Every movement and action was neither servile nor haughty.


    Fallen Maple could not help sighing emotionally, Lin Changqing compared to Ye Yuan was like mud to cloud!


    ��Huh, Changqing this child was dotted rotten by this emperor, resulting in affronting Second Sage without regard to propriety. This emperor �� apologizes for him!�� Fallen Maple said with all smiles.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. He kept feeling that something was not quite right.


    Ever since entering Fallen Maple Bodhidharma, the commotion that he caused was not considered small. Even Fallen Maple was alarmed, so there was no reason for Li-er to not know!


    Fallen Maple would not be unaware of his intentions for coming, but he used Lin Changqing��s behavior to talk about things.


    Something fishy!


    ��Senior Fallen Maple, I came for Li-er. I presume that you��re also awake. I wonder where Li-er is at right now? This Ye wishes to meet her!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��This ���� Fallen Maple��s face revealed a look of difficulty.


    Ye Yuan��s heart tightened, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What��s wrong with Li-er?��


    Fallen Maple knew that he could not hide it and said with a slight sigh, ��Li-er she �� went missing!��

 Chapter 2181 - Move Aside!

    ��What? Went missing?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly stood up, his eyes full of fury.


    A horrifying aura surged to the sky, practically going to turn the entire hall upside down.


    He went through countless hardships and stood here, standing in front of Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple, but the other party told him and Li-er went missing!


    This result, he was somewhat unable to accept it.


    When Fallen Maple and Jun Mingxin saw this scene, they also could not help being secretly startled.


    Especially Jun Mingxin, only at this time did he know that when Ye Yuan was facing Lin Changqing previously, he did not use his full strength at all!


    A Second Firmament Empyrean actually had such power.


    ��Second Sage don��t get angry first. Please listen to this emperor explaining until the end,�� Fallen Maple slowly said.


    Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his fury and said in a solemn voice, ��You say!��


    Fallen Maple slowly stood up and said, ��Follow me!��


    As he said, he flicked his sleeves grandly and brought Ye Yuan into a room.


    Upon entering the room, a pungent and nose-piercing smell hit him head-on.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he saw a person lying on the bed.


    That person was unbearably rotten from head to toe, riddled full of holes, just like a cankered corpse.


    When Ye Yuan looked over, he saw that that person��s breathing was akin to gossamer, merely still hanging in there with one last breath.


    By the side, a thin and emaciated old man was currently spraying dew on the person��s body and turned a blind eye to the few people who just arrived.


    Ye Yuan looked toward Fallen Maple, waiting for his explanation.


    ��He��s called Zhuo Yuanzhi. He��s this emperor��s disciple. Ten years ago, Angry Nether River was cut off and Blackflame Cave emerged. The surrounding hundred great imperial capitals turned into dead cities. Everybody said that that��s a Heavenly Emperor��s cave abode, attracting countless powerhouses over. The surrounding seven great Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas around Blackflame Cave all sent people to investigate, but in the end �� not a single one came out! The number of Empyreans that went missing was likely as many as hundreds!�� Fallen Maple said with a sigh.


    ��Just a year ago, there were suddenly several people who escaped from Blackflame Cave. Junior Apprentice Brother Yuanzhi was one of them. It��s just that after he returned to Fallen Maple Bodhidharma, his entire person fell unconscious. In this one year, Martial Uncle Tan Yi exhausted all kinds of means and was also unable to curb the decay of Junior Apprentice Brother Yuanzhi. At the rate of this situation, he probably can��t last a month anymore.�� Jun Mingxin followed up.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said unhappily, ��Your Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas have so many heavenly emperors, so why make a bunch of empyreans go and seek death?��


    Jun Mingxin smiled bitterly and said, ��Not that we weren��t willing to go, but that the Blackflame Cave��s entrance is extremely unstable. Forget about heavenly emperors, even if late-stage Empyreans were to pass through, the cave entrance would likely collapse at once! That way, there would really be no hope at all.��


    Pausing for a bit, Jun Mingxin continued, ��You don��t need to suspect anything. These few years, Master has always viewed Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li in a different light. Her cultivation resources even make many junior apprentice brothers envious. But she��s the little junior sister, and she��s also pretty. So nobody haggled over these with her. The mission this time, Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li also took the initiative to volunteer for it. But we did not expect that this kind of thing happened.��


    Hearing these, Ye Yuan finally calmed down slightly.


    His gaze looked towards Zhuo Yuanzhi and he said in a solemn voice, ��In that case, the crux lies with him?��


    Fallen Maple nodded slightly and said, ��If Yuanzhi can wake up, we should be able to know the events that happened inside Blackflame Cave.��


    Ye Yuan did not say another word, came beside Tan Yi, and said in a solemn voice, ��Move aside!��


    Tan Yi��s brows furrowed and he said unhappily, ��Where did this little rascal come from? To dare speak to this emperor like this?��


    This Tan Yi was Fallen Maple��s junior apprentice brother, an Eight-star Alchemy God super existence!


    But such a powerhouse was being ordered around by Ye Yuan, how could he not be enraged?


    Except, the current Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk crap with him at all, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew can indeed revive the dead, but your medicine isn��t matching the syndrome. Keep doing this and he��ll be dead!��


    Being shot down by a junior so mercilessly, Tan Yi��s beard billowed.


    But Ye Yuan being able to recognize the Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew at a glance still made him slightly surprised in his heart. He knew that Ye Yuan was a practitioner and definitely had extraordinary attainments in alchemy.


    It was just that this brat being so wildly arrogant made him very displeased.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��Junior, this emperor has lived to this ripe old age and has never seen this kind of strange poison before! This Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew is already the most ideal prescription! Could it be that you still have a better option?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Therefore, please move aside!��


    Tan Yi nearly choked to death from anger and was just about to fly off the handle, but then he heard Fallen Maple say, ��Junior Apprentice Brother, this is the Demon Clan��s Priest Temple��s Second Sage, with his alchemy strength being unparalleled under the heavens! Perhaps �� he can save Yuanzhi; who knows?��


    Tan Yi��s pupils constricted, only then, sizing Ye Yuan up seriously.


    He had never heard before Second Sage, but the Priest Temple was very famous.


    This brat was the number one person beneath Sacred Ancestor High Priest?


    How was this possible?


    ��Second Sage? Heh heh, this emperor wants to take a look at how much ability the Priest Temple��s Second Sage has!�� Tan Yi said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan��s current thoughts were not on him at all, he just said coolly, ��You just watch and that will do.��


    Ye Yuan came in front of the bed and fired out a strand of chaos divine essence, entering into Zhuo Yuanzhi��s body.


    This wisp of divine essence circled five rounds within Zhuo Yuanzhi��s body and also did not find where the slightest problem lay.


    He only felt that Zhuo Yuanzhi��s bodily functions were rapidly falling. An irresistible decaying energy seeped out of every pore on his body.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.


    Tan Yi smiled coldly when he saw the situation and said, ��Brat, even if you��re some dogshit Second Sage, you��re also looking down on Eight-star Alchemy Gods too much! Yuanzhi��s body, this emperor has already checked it no less than 20 times, but failed to get anything! It��s not some corpse poison and he also wasn��t inflicted with some poison. It��s just like he��s rotting out of the blue. Did you also discover that it��s like this?��


    A hint of disappointment also flashed across Fallen Maple��s eyes.


    He heard that Ye Yuan was Second Sage, so that was why he felt that there was some hope.


    So he did not expect that it would not cut it either.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Tan Yi��s mocking. The seals in his hands suddenly changed irregularly, inside the house suddenly became a sea of stars.


    Chaos Heavenly Star Art!


    Tan Yi��s pupils constricted, immediately discovering that Ye Yuan��s alchemy technique was extraordinary.


    Broad and profound like the sea!


    This was Tan Yi��s feeling.


    Ye Yuan��s hands moved like lightning, one stream of chaos divine essence after another was sent into Zhuo Yuanzhi��s body.


    Zhuo Yuanzhi��s body actually slowly suspended into the air and gave off a faint silver light.


    Seeing this scene, the three Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in the house exchanged sidelong glances, struck dumb with amazement in their hearts.


    Was this Second Sage��s strength?


    Actually, when Fallen Maple saw Ye Yuan for the first time, he also had a feeling of young people could not be trusted with important tasks.


    After all, being called Second Sage at this age was a little too inconceivable.


    But now, his doubts were all gone!


    The understanding of Dao that Ye Yuan exhibited was extremely deep.


    ��At a young age, he actually already comprehended his own Dao! This kid is truly a freak!�� Tan Yi cried out involuntarily.


    Right at this time, a brilliant light flashed in Ye Yuan��s eyes, and he said with a cold smile, ��What a cunning thing, turns out that it��s actually hiding here! Come out for me!��


    Ye Yuan struck a palm out, directly smashing down toward Zhuo Yuanzhi��s head.


    Tan Yi and the rest turned pale with fright and were just about to stop him, but then they saw a dark thing suddenly fly out!

 Chapter 2182 - Devilish Monster Appears

    The dark thing vanished after a flash, being unimaginably swift, directly shuttling into the void.


    The three great Heavenly Emperors were caught by surprise and could not even react in time.


    However, Ye Yuan was long prepared, his mouth opening slightly.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Ye Yuan uttered the true word, it was as if time stopped.


    That black bug had not escaped yet and was immobilized in midair.


    The three great Heavenly Emperor��s eyes went wide, looking at this scene in disbelief, and actually forgot to make a move for a moment.


    ��Still in a daze for?�� Ye Yuan shouted coldly.


    Fallen Maple suddenly woke up. Pointing at the void, a powerful restriction directly spread out, thoroughly imprisoning the black bug.


    This was an Empyrean level black bug. With Ye Yuan��s strength, it was very hard to bind it. That was why he had Fallen Maple take action.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze looked over toward the black bug, but the three great Heavenly Emperors�� gazes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan. It was as if they were looking at a monster.


    The impact that the scene just now gave the three of them was seriously too strong!


    Time and space froze at the same time!


    Even Jun Mingxin was also affected by Ye Yuan��s Time Freeze, his movement being sluggish for an instant.


    As for Fallen Maple and Tan Yi, the influence was negligible.


    The two of their strength were too powerful.


    But this did not hinder their shock!


    ��Heavenly Dao True Word! It��s actually Heavenly Dao True Word! An Empyrean Realm actually grasped Heavenly Dao True Word!�� Fallen Maple sucked in a cold breath and cried out in surprise.


    ��How can this kid possibly grasped Heavenly Dao True Word?�� Tan Yi said in surprise.


    ��What a formidable Heavenly Dao True Word! Just now, I was actually frozen for a moment!�� Jun Mingxin said in shock.


    Ye Yuan was still unaware, looking at the black bug, his expression increasingly solemn.


    The aura that this black bug emitted, he was very familiar!


    ��This is �� mn? All looking at me for what?�� Ye Yuan turned around and was just about to discuss with the three people, but then he saw that the three people were currently using extremely strange gazes to look at him.


    What do you think?


    You freaking did such a heaven-defying move and still did not allow us to be surprised?


    The three great Heavenly Emperors were rendered speechless.


    Invisible posturing was the most lethal!


    ��Just now, what was that move of yours?�� Fallen Maple asked.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��You��re talking about Time Freeze? That��s the dragon race��s innate divine ability! Could it be that Zheng Yufeng didn��t tell you that I��m the Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son?��


    Ye Yuan had an appearance of them getting excited over nothing.


    Since he threw this title out, he was naturally not some nameless person in the Dragon Clan. Wouldn��t possessing one or two powerful divine abilities be something very normal?


    It was just that these people completely did not take his latter identity seriously.


    ��Time Freeze �� the Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son ���� Fallen Maple muttered under his breath, clearly not knowing what this Heaven��s Chosen Son meant.


    The Dragon Clan, this kind of demon race with a supreme bloodline, each one was incomparably mysterious.


    In the Heavenspan World, even for Heavenly Emperor major powerhouses, very few could know about the secrets involved.


    The title of Second Sage was resounding like the roar of thunder to them, resulting in overlooking the identity of the Dragon Clan��s Heaven��s Chosen Son.


    But now, Fallen Maple knew that Heaven��s Chosen Son was absolutely an identity that could rival Second Sage!


    Just based on this move!


    This person in front of him was truly a monster that was beyond words!


    What kind of eyesight did Yue Mengli have? To find such a peerless monster?


    With Ye Yuan, who could still enter her eyes?


    Thinking up to here, Fallen Maple could not help pitying his disciple.


    But Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��This isn��t important! What��s important is that �� this black bug is strange!��


    The faces of Fallen Maple and the rest turned stern and asked, ��Oh? What��s strange?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This thing is called an abyss monster!��


    That was right! The aura coming off of this black bug was precisely the aura of an abyss monster!


    Ye Yuan did not expect to actually see an abyss monster here.


    Weren��t these monsters suppressed in the Dragon Eye Cave by the Dragon Clan��s major powers?


    Could it be that �� Li-er got caught in that kind of terrifying place?


    Thinking up until here, Ye Yuan wished to fly to the Blackflame Cave immediately.


    ��Abyss monster? Never heard of this thing before!�� Fallen Maple said with a blank face.


    Ye Yuan flicked his finger and shot out a streak of sword energy, directly annihilating the black bug, and said in a solemn voice, ��You don��t need to know too much. You just have to know that these things are very dangerous, and that will do! Once these things run to the outside world, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering!��


    Suppressing abyss monsters was the Dragon Clan��s secret, the outside world did not know at all. Ye Yuan naturally would not spread it either.


    But this thing suddenly appeared in the Heavenspan World, so it was clearly not a good omen.


    Hearing this, the three people��s expressions were strange. But Ye Yuan already returned to the head of the bed and continued exhibiting the Chaos Heavenly Star Art.


    His Chaos Heavenly Star Art was all-inclusive, it could be said to have assembled the major accomplishments of his Alchemy Dao. Using it to shave the bone and heal the injury was naturally a cinch too.


    Under the Chaos Heavenly Star Art, everything had nowhere to hide. Only then did Ye Yuan discover that this little abyss bug actually hid inside Zhuo Yuanzhi��s sea of consciousness, being extremely covert.


    It was also no wonder that Tan Yi, this Eight-star Alchemy God, did not discover it.


    After a day and night, Zhuo Yuanzhi��s decaying body actually started to slowly take a turn for the better.


    That feeble aura of his actually slowly rose again too.


    When Tan Yi saw this scene, his eyes became wide saucers!


    ��What an overbearing alchemy technique, to actually have such a miraculous effect! No wonder! No wonder Sacred Ancestor High Priest that kind of powerhouse actually viewed him in a different light, and he bestowed him the title of Second Sage!��


    Another two days passed, Zhuo Yuanzhi finally slowly opened his eyes.


    Seeing this strange man in front of him, Zhuo Yuanzhi felt as if he was dreaming.


    ��Zhuo Yuanzhi, let me ask you. How is Li-er doing now?�� The moment Zhuo Yuanzhi woke up, Ye Yuan was too impatient to wait and asked.


    Zhuo Yuanzhi clearly had not woken up from the nightmarish state yet as he murmured, ��L-Li-er?��


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��It��s Yue Mengli! Didn��t you guys enter the Blackflame Cave together? Where is she now? Is she still alive?��


    Zhuo Yuanzhi��s eyes gradually focused, akin to waking up from a dream.


    He struggled to recall the situation at that time, his gaze gradually becoming frightened.


    ��Ahh! Don��t come over! Don��t come over! I �� I��ll kill you all!��


    Zhuo Yuanzhi seemed to have recalled some terrifying scene, his entire person became crazed, and he suddenly struck a palm out.


    A terrifying force erupting at such a small distance, it could be seen how horrifying the power was.


    But while he was quick, Ye Yuan was faster!


    Zhuo Yuanzhi��s force had not spat out yet, but Ye Yuan reached first despite launching later, pointing a finger out, directly restraining him.


    Then, an extremely powerful soul force burrowed into Zhuo Yuanzhi��s sea of consciousness domineeringly.


    ��Ye Yuan, what are you trying to do?�� Fallen Maple said in alarm and anger.


    Casting soul search, the damage to a person was irreversible.


    But this scenario happened too suddenly. It was already too late for them to want to stop it.


    Interrupting Ye Yuan at this time, it would be even more hopeless to salvage the situation for Zhuo Yuanzhi.


    ��Shut up! He��ll be fine!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Following that, one scene after another surfaced in Ye Yuan��s mind.


    After essence, energy, and spirit became one, Ye Yuan��s divine soul strength became even more condensed and powerful.


    Under the circumstances of Zhuo Yuanzhi being unconscious, Ye Yuan searching his divine soul would not cause harm.


    Except, this scene in the view of Fallen Maple and the rest was something inconceivable.

 Chapter 2183 - Entering Blackflame Cave

    Tan Yi looked at Ye Yuan, his expression changing again and again.


    He had always been paying attention to Zhuo Yuanzhi��s activities and discovered that Zhuo Yuanzhi��s divine soul did not get any damage.


    Such terrifying divine soul control was simply inconceivable.


    Even he, this Eight-star Alchemy God, could not achieve such precise control too.


    ��This �� Is this the standard of Second Sage?��


    Starting from when Ye Yuan stepped into this room, the few things that he did made him, this Eight-star Alchemy God, feel ashamed of his unworthiness.


    Only then did he truly realize what kind of existence Second Sage was!


    Fallen Maple��s expression was somewhat ugly as he said with a bitter smile, ��Just what kind of a monster did Mengli this lass take fancy on? Back then, I was still intent on matching her with Changqing. Thinking about it, it��s really laughable!��


    Lin Changqing and Yue Mengli two people were Fallen Maple Bodhidharma��s golden child and jade girl.


    Unconsciously, everyone had long already treated them as lovers, Fallen Maple was no exception either.


    Toward these two disciples that he was most proud of, Fallen Maple naturally consciously or even unconsciously wanted to matchmake the two of them.


    It was just that for so many years, Yue Mengli had always kept Lin Changqing at a distance.


    Fallen Maple knew that Yue Mengli had Mister Right in her heart, so he did not mind either.


    In his view, when Yue Mengli reached great heights in the future and became a supreme Heavenly Emperor together with Lin Changqing, why would she place a mortal in her sights?


    But Fallen Maple never dreamed that the mortal he knew only used a short thousand years�� time and stood in front of him.


    Although his strength was far inferior to his, in terms of status, it was already sufficient to stand on equal footing with him!


    Furthermore, the strength that he displayed, even they all, these Heavenly Emperors, had to look up to as well!


    Achieving the position of a sovereign in the future was just a matter of time.


    His previous idea naturally became a joke.


    After a while, Ye Yuan let go of Zhuo Yuanzhi, the expression on his face became solemn.


    From Zhuo Yuanzhi��s memories, he saw that Li-er just happened to be pursued by several abyss monsters at that time.


    Those Empyrean powerhouses had never seen before such a ferocious species, all fleeing helter-skelter.


    The events that happened later, Zhuo Yuanzhi did not know anymore.


    ��Senior Fallen Maple, thank you for your hospitality. This Ye wants to set off for Blackflame Cave at once. Farewell!�� Ye Yuan clasped his hands and was about to leave.


    ��Hang on!�� Fallen Maple hurriedly stopped Ye Yuan and said, ��Actually, our seven great Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas have already reached a consensus. We plan on sending elite disciples over to Blackflame Cave this time to investigate thoroughly. Our Fallen Maple Bodhidharma plan on sending Yufeng and another Empyrean Realm disciple over. Why don��t �� Second Sage go together with them?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��They do theirs. I��ll go on my own.��


    Ye Yuan was currently burning with anxiety, delaying for a moment more and Li-er would be in more danger.


    He could not wait for a second longer.


    Fallen Maple knew what Ye Yuan was thinking and said, ��Actually, Yufeng they all are all set already. If not for Second Sage suddenly coming up the mountain, they might have already set off at this time. Since Second Sage wants to go, this emperor will have them set off at once, how��s that?��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Fine as well!��


    On Sunset Peak, Zheng Yufeng brought four Empyrean powerhouses and prepared to set off with Ye Yuan.


    These five Empyreans were shockingly all middle-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouses!


    The few people were just about to set off when suddenly, a figure blocked their path.


    It was none other than precisely Lin Changqing!


    Lin Changqing directly knelt down toward Fallen Maple and gritted his teeth and said, ��Master, please let Changqing go along!��


    Fallen Maple said unhappily, ��Nonsense! The Blackflame Cave is very dangerous, even if your Senior Apprentice Brother Yufeng went, Master is also filled with anxiety, let alone you? Go back!��


    Lin Changqing had reddened eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, ��If Master doesn��t let me go, I��ll kneel down and not get up!��


    Fallen Maple was just about to fly off the handle, but he heard Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Senior Fallen Maple, let him go.��


    Fallen Maple let out a sigh and waved his hand powerlessly and said, ��Sigh, foolish! Go then, go on!��


    With his eyesight, how could he not tell that Lin Changqing was going for the sake of Yue Mengli?


    It was just that ��


    Fallen Maple gave Ye Yuan a glance and took a look at Lin Changqing again, finally, it turned into a long sigh.


    �� ��


    The group of people marched day and night without rest, with stars as a cloak and the moon as a hat, spending half a month��s time, and finally rushed to Angry Nether Riverbank.


    Angry Nether Riverbank was presently already the various major faction��s forbidden ground.


    But at this time, there were still many powerhouses surrounding and watching at the river.


    These people were mostly Empyrean Realm powerhouses that came from the various major forces.


    On the river, there was an enormous and dark cave entrance. There was dense black aura smoking around it. It was as if it was a prehistoric behemoth about to devour everything.


    ��Zheng Yufeng, why is your Fallen Maple Bodhidharma dragging your feet, only arriving now?�� At this time, a middle-aged man came up and said to Zheng Yufeng.


    Zheng Yufeng said, ��Brother Li Yue, we were delayed for a while by some matters, hence, we came late.��


    Li Yue took a look at Ye Yuan and Lin Changqing behind Zheng Yufeng and said with a frown, ��Isn��t it agreed to only send middle-stage Empyrean Realms over? You guys brought two burdens. At that time, we��ll still have to divide our attention to take care of them! Lin Changqing, this brat too, the two of you stay behind!��


    When Lin Changqing heard that, his expression could not help changing.


    He was indeed a genius, but his strength had not truly become powerful yet.


    In front of Li Yue, he was still a junior!


    While Ye Yuan behaved like he did not hear it at all, slowly walking to the riverbank, and sized up the Blackflame Cave��s entrance seriously.


    A very familiar feeling!


    He had stayed for as long as ten years in Dragon Eye Cave and absorbed countless devilish energy.


    But the strength of this devilish energy was much weaker compared to the Dragon Eye Cave.


    Just as Fallen Maple said, this cave entrance was extremely unstable. Late-stage Empyrean powerhouses entering inside would probably make space collapse too.


    When Li Yue saw Ye Yuan ignore him, he said with an unhappy look, ��Hey, brat, this empyrean is talking to you. Didn��t you hear?��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about him and turned to Lin Changqing and said, ��Follow me!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan stepped onto the void and arrived above the river.


    Lin Changqing was taken aback when he heard that, his face revealing a look of struggle.


    But very soon, he clenched his jaws and followed after.


    Li Yue was unhappy to begin with. Seeing this scene, he sneered coldly and said, ��Zheng Yufeng, why did your Fallen Maple Bodhidharma bring a fool over? He wouldn��t want to enter the Blackflame Cave just like this, right? The devilish energy there, if there isn��t our restriction, it��s sufficient to devour Empyrean Realm martial artists! This guy is seeking death!��


    Zheng Yufeng also had a look of puzzlement and yelled in a clear voice, ��Brother Ye, this devilish energy is extremely formidable and has already devoured many Empyrean powerhouses!��


    Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back and said coolly, ��I��ll go in and take a look first. You guys just hurry up!��


    Li Yue laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Foolish thing! If you can enter, this empyrean will chop my head off for you to kick as a ball!��


    Just as he was talking, Ye Yuan already arrived at the Blackflame Cave��s entrance.


    Endless devilish energy rushed toward him and Lin Changqing frenziedly.


    Lin Changqing jumped in fright and hurriedly revolved his cultivation method, wanting to resist the devilish energy.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan��s Chaos Heavenspan Canon activated. The devilish energy poured into his body crazily.


    When the Lin Changqing following behind saw this scene, his eyes became wide saucers.


    Li Yue opened his mouth wide, virtually able to stuff a fist in.

 Chapter 2184 - Abyss Monsters’ Strength!

    ��This �� This guy is actually absorbing devilish energy!��


    ��He absorbed so much in one go and actually didn��t blow up and die!��


    ��Could it be that his body is forged from meteoric iron?��


    �� ��


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Ye Yuan brought Lin Changqing and slowly walked into the Blackflame Cave.


    That appearance was like strolling in his own backyard.


    The eyeballs of those Empyrean powerhouses all stared widely.


    Devilish energy was extremely berserk in nature. Forget about absorbing like Ye Yuan; just absorbing a trace in, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine too.


    When Zheng Yufeng saw this appearance, he could not help having a bitter smile on his face.


    Looking at Li Yue again, he said with a snicker, ��Li Yue, what were you saying just now?��


    Li Yu abruptly woke up and said with a look of embarrassment, ��Ah? Oh, n-nothing! I didn��t say anything!��


    Seemingly afraid of everyone continuing to ask, he said ferociously.


    At this time, someone suggested, ��This matter brooks no delay. We��d better hurry up and seal these devilish energies and enter the Blackflame Cave!��


    Everyone naturally did not have objections.


    With seven major forces, more than 40 middle-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouses took action.


    How shocking was this commotion?


    Everyone joined hands and laid down an enchantment, temporarily partitioning off the devilish energy.


    Bustling around for roughly two hours, the enchantment was finally completed.


    Only then did the group of Empyreans enter Blackflame Cave.


    Upon entering Blackflame Cave, this was totally different from the outside world��s heaven and earth.


    This place had black smoke coiling around, dim without light, looking grim and terrifying.


    Li Yue and everyone had naturally never seen before such a place.


    ��What kind of damn place is this?�� Li Yue said with a frown.


    Zheng Yufeng also had a solemn look as he said, ��Don��t know, but �� it��s definitely not a good place. Everybody, be more careful!��


    ��This place is the abyss monsters�� world!��


    At this time, a voice sounded out. Two figures slowly walked over from afar. It was precisely Ye Yuan two people.


    Behind Ye Yuan, Lin Changqing��s eyes never left Ye Yuan��s body, his gaze full of terror.


    ��Abyss monster? What the hell is that?�� Li Yue said in confusion.


    The other Empyreans were also at a loss. Clearly, they had not heard of abyss monsters before.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s an extremely powerful race. All in all, everyone, just be more careful.��


    Li Yue said with a disdainful look, ��Extremely powerful race? Huhu, how powerful can it be? This Heavenspan World is ruled by our human race! Even the demon race and fiend race also have to stand by the side!��


    Another Empyrean said, ��Huhu, this little brother is also exaggerating things to raise an alarm! There are so many of us middle-stage Empyrean Realm powerhouses here. Even if a late-stage Empyrean came, we might also not be without the strength to fight. What��s there to be scared of?��


    As an Empyrean, each person had their own pride.


    Let alone that here were the proud heaven��s chosen of seven great Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas, each and every one of them having numerous trump cards. Why would they mind some abyss monsters?


    Ye Yuan��s few words, they did not take it to heart at all.


    Li Yue��s thinking actually also represented the thoughts of the vast majority of the Empyreans.


    Not that they did not know that this place was dangerous, but that they were very confident in their own strength.


    After all, those who came before were all some initial-stage Empyrean Realm disciples. Furthermore, the numbers were also far from as many as this time.


    ��Is that so? Then let��s go!�� Ye Yuan showed neither approval nor disapproval. He turned around and advanced.


    Li Yue��s mouth curled, and he said unhappily, ��What a cocky kid!��


    The party headed towards the depths when everyone��s faces suddenly became fascinating.


    Along the way, there were the corpses of black monsters strewn all over the ground.


    The auras of these monsters were all very powerful. The vast majority of them were at the True God Realm. There were also quite a few at the Empyrean Realm.


    These monsters had clearly just died not long, but they all had a common characteristic.


    There was a large hole opened up in their heads!


    Then, who killed these monsters?


    As plain as day!


    Everyone��s gazes all looked toward Ye Yuan.


    Apart from this brat, who else could there be?


    Everyone was secretly surprised in their hearts, in merely less than two hour��s time from start to end, this kid actually killed so many abyss monsters?


    But Li Yue smiled coldly and said, ��A Second Firmament Empyrean can kill so many monsters. So how strong can these monsters be? Heh heh, this brat wants to stand in the limelight and intentionally said these monsters to be very strong! In my view, it��s merely thus!��


    Another Empyrean also nodded and said, ��Killing so many in one go, these monsters�� strength, they are likely even inferior to ordinary same rank humans. But the numbers of these monsters are too many, we��d best be more careful.��


    The group of Empyreans all nodded, the number of these monsters was indeed a little too many.


    But looking at this, Ye Yuan��s strength was still pretty good. It was just that no one was willing to admit it, that was all.


    Lin Changqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he did not say it out in the end.


    Ye Yuan also could not be bothered to dispute anything. His attention was placed on the terrain.


    He was searching for the scene when Li-er went missing according to Zhuo Yuanzhi��s memories.


    Roughly more than an hour��s journey, the dead bodies on the ground gradually lessened.


    Very clearly, this place was already the limits where Ye Yuan could scout.


    Ye Yuan secretly went on alert. The abyss monsters in the outer regions were mostly not strong. But the deeper in, the strength of the abyss monsters gradually grew stronger.


    ��Roar, roar, roar!��


    Finally, a group of abyss monsters of varying shapes and sizes dashed out, pouncing toward this group of people frenziedly.


    These abyss monsters were extremely ferocious, their strength also extremely strong. There was quite a number of them that were Third Firmament Empyrean existences.


    Li Yue just laughed coldly and said with disdain, ��A bunch of trash! This bit of strength and they also dare to come up and court death! Truly a bunch of foolish things!��


    Done talking, his finger pointed lightly. An incomparably swift and fierce gust of air struck one of the leopard-shaped abyss monsters.


    Bang!


    That abyss monster cried out strangely and rolled a few times on the ground, slipping away with a scamper.


    Clearly, he realized Li Yue��s power.


    But Li Yue��s expression changed. His gaze revealed a solemn look.


    He was a Sixth Firmament Empyrean mighty expert. That finger just now, even if a Fourth Firmament Empyrean took it, it would also be serious injuries if not death!


    But this abyss monster actually slipped away completely fine.


    These monsters were actually so strong?


    When he looked toward his companions around him again, he discovered that those Fourth Firmament Empyrean human martial artists were actually evenly matched in strength with those Third Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters!


    A wave of cold air rose up in Li Yue��s heart.


    At the same time, it also rose up in everyone��s hearts.


    Only when they truly fought did they know how powerful these abyss monsters�� strength was!


    A Third Firmament Empyrean forcefully contending with a Fourth Firmament Empyrean?


    These abyss monsters could actually jump realms to face the enemy!


    Jumping realms to battle in Empyrean Realm, furthermore, they were even elites among human martial artists.


    This scene simply subverted these Empyreans�� understanding!


    ��Kill!�� The few leaders�� faces fell, and they took action and made a move.


    With Fifth Firmament and Sixth Firmament Empyrean powerhouses making a move, the show in power was different now.


    In an instant, those abyss monsters sustained casualties and retreated one after another.


    But the expressions of these Empyreans became incomparably solemn.


    At this time, somebody looked at Ye Yuan again and could not help sucking in a cold breath!

 Chapter 2185 - Want to Die or Live

    Only then did everyone realize what kind of concept Ye Yuan exterminating hundreds of abyss monsters in an hour was.


    Among these hundreds of abyss monsters, there were even many that were Empyrean level.


    If looking at the situation of the fight just now, even a First Firmament Empyrean monster could also forcefully contend with a Second Firmament Empyrean existence.


    Under the corroboration of the two, just what kind of inconceivable thing had Ye Yuan done?


    More importantly, he only used two hours!


    These Fourth Firmament Empyreans weighed themselves over, if they fought alone, it would absolutely be a dogfight, taking a very long time.


    Just how strong was this brat��s strength?


    Previously, they all did not pay attention to the look in Lin Changqing��s eyes at all.


    But now, they finally understood!


    This kid must have seen something remarkable.


    ��Changqing, what in the world did you see?�� Zheng Yufeng pulled Lin Changqing to one side and asked softly.


    Even if so long had passed, Lin Changqing was still in the midst of shock.


    Prior to this, he did not know how strong Ye Yuan was.


    But when he witnessed Ye Yuan butchering these abyss monsters, he finally understood that he and Ye Yuan were already people from completely different worlds!


    ��A massacre! A complete massacre! Those Second Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters couldn��t last one exchange under his hands at all! He only needed one punch to annihilate the other party!�� Lin Changqing said.


    Ye Yuan could annihilate a Second Firmament Empyrean abyss monster with one punch, wanting to kill him was clearly just a matter of snapping a finger.


    Just what kind of freak did he provoke?


    No wonder Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli had always maintained a distance from him. No wonder even though he was so outstanding, Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli had always been aloof and indifferent.


    It turned out that she actually had such a monstrous lover!


    With such a man, how could he still enter her eyes?


    Genius?


    This term was a pile of dog shit in front of Ye Yuan!


    Zheng Yufeng��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Massacre? Doesn��t that mean that he has at least peak Third Firmament Empyrean combat strength?��


    But Lin Changqing shook his head and said, ��I suspect that it��s more than that!��


    ��Hiss!��


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    No wonder this guy was so arrogant! He really had the capital to be arrogant!


    At this time, no one treated Ye Yuan as a junior anymore.


    Being able to exterminate so many abyss monsters with his power alone, it would also absolutely not be as effortless as Li Yue they all, these Sixth Firmament Empyreans.


    Li Yue��s gaze glimmered slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Why would these monsters be so strong, it��s completely illogical! No wonder the Empyrean Realm martial artists that entered this place before, none of them returned!��


    Zheng Yufeng nodded and said, ��What Brother Ye said earlier is right. Our mission has to be done cautiously. If the matter can��t be accomplished, we must withdraw straight away.��


    Actually, everyone already somewhat wanted to beat a retreat.


    But there was no harvest until now. They could not give an account after returning to their respective factions either, so they could only toughen their scalps and carry on walking.


    However, what surprised everyone was that the journey that followed was unexpectedly calm. There were actually no abyss monsters coming to attack them again.


    But it was precisely because of this that the uneasiness in everyone��s hearts grew stronger.


    Li Ye��s heart was somewhat racing as he asked, Ye Yuan, ��Boy, have you seen these monsters in the past before?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Seen before!��


    ��Just what are these monsters? Also, where have you seen these monsters before?�� Li Yue asked.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No comments.��


    ��You!�� Li Yue could not help choking when he heard that and said angrily, ��Cocky for what? You punk, not only have you seen these monsters before, you can even absorb devilish energy! In my view, you��re definitely together with the monsters!��


    The moment these words came out, the group of Empyreans involuntarily pulled apart some distance from Ye Yuan.


    Indeed, Li Yue��s random guess made everyone give rise to suspicion in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan was too peculiar!


    When Li Yue saw that he isolated Ye Yuan with one sentence, he could not help feeling smug in his heart.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan simply ignored him and walked forward without consulting anyone.


    Li Yu was thoroughly infuriated by Ye Yuan��s action of overlooking.


    ��Brat, this empyrean is talking to you. Didn��t you hear?�� Li Yue said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan still ignored him. How could he know that Ye Yuan was currently not in the mood to play this sort of game with him at all?


    All of his thoughts were placed on looking for Li-er.


    Regarding the clues and inklings around, Ye Yuan would not let any of it go.


    It was just too bad that up until now, Ye Yuan did not discover any situation.


    Under his rage, Li Yue��s aura erupted, and he was about to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a streak of black light flashed past in the dark night!


    Bang!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing actually had a large pit blasted out.


    Everyone��s expression changed. They saw an abyss monster standing at the place where Ye Yuan stood previously.


    While Ye Yuan��s figure was already gone.


    Could it be that �� Ye Yuan was killed just like that?


    However, they did not have time to think too much. Because a large group of abyss monsters suddenly scurried out around them!


    There were as many as several dozen!


    Furthermore, the aura of each one was very strong, they were actually all middle-stage Empyrean Realm strength!


    The expressions of the group of Empyreans changed wildly.


    They were surrounded!


    A despairing mood spread among the Empyreans.


    These were all middle-stage Empyrean Realm abyss monsters. Judging from the situation that they encountered previously, they did not have the slightest chance of victory at all.


    ��You guys came right on time. Let me ask you. Have you all seen this human female before?��


    Suddenly, a figure flashed at the top of a tree, Ye Yuan condensed Yue Mengli��s image with divine essence.


    But his words were asked at the abyss monster who ambushed him previously with a divine soul brand.


    He had also asked before those Empyrean level abyss monsters previously, but those abyss monsters did not know at all.


    Now, encountering these stronger abyss monsters, Ye Yuan asked once more.


    ��Hahaha �� human brat, why should this empyrean answer your question? Become this empyrean��s snack obediently, if this empyrean is happy, maybe I��ll tell you!�� That Sixth Firmament Empyrean powerful existence said with a loud laugh.


    This abyss monster��s aura was the strongest. Clearly, it was the leader of this group of abyss monsters.


    Sixth Firmament Empyrean could virtually sweep across the Empyrean powerhouses present!


    ��This punk actually didn��t die!�� Li Yue said in shock.


    He knew how terrifying that strike earlier was. Furthermore, it was even a sneak attack.


    If it were him, he also did not have absolute confidence in avoiding.


    Ye Yuan was actually completely unharmed!


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and put away Li-er��s image, and said coolly, ��Then �� there��s only beating until you all say it!��


    The abyss monster leader laughed loudly and said, ��Arrogant and conceited brat, just based on the likes of you all, these lowly humans, you also want to beat us noble abyss monsters?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but he shouted at Li Yue and the rest, ��Hey, do you all want to die or live?��


    Li Yue��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Rubbish! Of course it��s want to live! But just based on you, what right do you have to say such words?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you want to live, don��t resist, do as I say. If want to die�� then just take it as I didn��t say anything.��

 Chapter 2186 - Pummeling

    The faces of the group of Empyreans all changed irregularly.


    A Second Firmament Empyrean asked them if they wanted to die or live. This scene was rather comical.


    But the circumstances were more persuasive than rational thinking. At present, it already reached the moment of life-and-death. It did not allow them to be wayward.


    The choice determined the outcome.


    Was it to believe Ye Yuan or to fight to the death?


    Li Yue had a very conflicted face. He disliked Ye Yuan��s cocky appearance greatly.


    But he was similarly clear that with the current situation, they probably could not even escape if they wanted to!


    ��Brother Ye, I��ll listen to you!�� At this time, Zheng Yufeng was the first to step forward and fervently support Ye Yuan.


    He knew that the time left for them was already not much!


    ��Little Brother, hope that you don��t scam us!�� Another person stepped forward.


    ��Little Brother Ye, this empyrean is handing this old life to your hands!��


    �� ��


    Facing the terror of death made everyone make a decision very quickly.


    In a certain death situation, everyone could only choose to believe Ye Yuan.


    Li Yue��s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and also said, ��Brat, if you dare to scam this empyrean, this empyrean won��t let you off even if I become a ghost too!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and suddenly fished out a large bunch of golden needles.


    When everyone saw the situation, their faces could not help changing.


    What did this kid want to do?


    ��I��m going to poke you guys a bit. Don��t resist. Otherwise, I can��t answer for the consequences.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Li Yue��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, you wouldn��t be wanting to stab the acupoints with a golden needle, right?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slowly and said, ��That��s right!��


    Li Yue��s face fell and he said, ��Nonsense! So many of us, by the time you finish applying the needles, the flowers would have turned yellow! Are you freaking screwing with us?��


    Hearing Li Yue��s words, quite a few people revealed unhappy looks.


    Clearly, they all felt that they were being made fun of.


    The abyss monster leader also laughed loudly as it said, ��Hahaha �� Kid, just based on a few needles and you want to deal with noble abyss monsters?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Who said that I��m going to apply the needles one by one? I said, don��t resist, otherwise, bear the consequences yourself! It��s coming!��


    Everyone��s hearts turned cold, only to see Ye Yuan knead seals.


    Several hundred streams of golden light turned into flowing light, dancing wildly in the darkness.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    In one breath, several hundred streams of golden light flashed and disappeared.


    The group of Empyreans only felt like their bodies were being bitten by several ants. Then, a boundless power emerged from every pore on their bodies.


    ��What powerful strength! I feel like I��m already invincible under the heavens!��


    ��This is golden needles piercing acupoints method? Truly too amazing!��


    ��Hahaha, you bunch of trash, come over and fight with Grandpa!��


    �� ��


    Each Empyreans�� body erupted with a fearsome aura.


    Just like their strength instantly increased by one realm.


    Li Yue felt that power coming from all over his body and felt like he could contend with Seventh Firmament Empyreans!


    At this moment, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan became incomparably surprised.


    In an instant, controlling several hundred golden needles and accurately stabbing into the acupoints of every Empyrean��s body without error, what kind of terrifying control was this?


    Although he was not an alchemist, he also knew that this kind of terrifying control was not what ordinary alchemists could achieve!


    Golden needle piercing the acupoints method, the strength, divine essence, soul force, as well as precision, so on and so forth, the things that needed to be paid attention to were far too many.


    Furthermore, among the Empyreans present, each person��s strength was different. Each person��s realm was different. The situation was incomparably complex.


    It could be said that how to apply the needles for each person had to be tailor-made.


    Golden needles piercing the acupoints method was an extremely dangerous method. The difference in millimeters was something that could be fatal.


    But Ye Yuan drafted up a set of acupuncture outline for everyone in such a short time.


    Even if an Eight-star Alchemy God came here, it was also impossible to stimulate each person��s potential so precisely.


    What kind of monster was this fellow?!


    Those opposite were monsters.


    But this monster in front of them was even more terrifying than those monsters opposite!


    The abyss monster leader finally discovered a hint of something amiss.


    The auras of these Empyreans suddenly became very powerful.


    However, he did not feel that abyss monsters would lose to weak humans!


    ��Minions, kill for me! Tear these foolish humans to shreds!�� The abyss monster leader bellowed.


    Under the word of command, several dozen abyss monsters roared and charged over toward the human Empyreans.


    ��Haha, perfect! Watch this Empyrean tear you trash into pieces!��


    These human Empyreans all had their strength skyrocket, brimming with vigor and energy. They were just worried about having nowhere to vent it.


    Seeing the abyss monsters rush up, they did not retreat, but advanced instead, directly rushing over.


    For some time, the human Empyreans and abyss monsters fought and killed until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, with the void trembling.


    Li Yue abyss monster and actually directly charged toward the abyss monster leader!


    This leader was Sixth Firmament Empyrean, even if he could not deal with a Seventh Firmament Empyrean human martial artist, exterminating Sixth Firmament Empyreans was still very easy.


    But when Li Yue clashed together with him, he actually did not fall into a disadvantage!


    The human Empyrean powerhouses all seemed to have been injected with stimulants, and actually fought and killed until the abyss monsters steadily lost ground.


    This kind of horrifying strength fought until the abyss monsters cried out strangely.


    By the side, when Lin Changqing saw this scene, he was transfixed.


    His strength was too weak, stabbing or not stabbing him was irrelevant to the overall situation. Ye Yuan did not apply golden needles piercing acupoints on him either.


    This guy��s means were truly inconceivable!


    At this time, he actually somewhat regretted following after.


    The more he came into contact with Ye Yuan, and the more he witnessed Ye Yuan��s methods getting more and more, the more that he felt ashamed of his unworthiness.


    He currently even had a feeling that only someone like Ye Yuan was worthy of Yue Mengli.


    Him pursuing Yue Mengli was simply sullying her!


    Lin Changqing shook his head hard, attempting to shake this kind of thinking out of his head.


    But it would not go away at all!


    In front of Ye Yuan, he grew less and less confident.


    These human Empyreans were the elites of the various Bodhidharmas to begin with, their strength far surpassing their peers.


    Now that their potential was stimulated, each and every one of their strength skyrocketed, and they could actually pummel same rank abyss monsters.


    The originally certain-death situation actually became a one-sided situation now.


    Especially the high-level combat powers, Zheng Yufeng and the rest, their strength was about the same as Li Yue��s.


    Currently, they even rampaged in all directions, killing those Fifth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters until they were in a sorry plight.


    After they managed to find time, they joined Li Yue��s battle group.


    One versus one became two versus one became three versus one.


    The abyss monster leader nearly vomited blood at this time.


    But, even if he wanted to run now, he could not run away either.


    Under the pincer attacks of the few mighty experts, the abyss monster leader was getting defeated not long after.


    The devil monster leader��s aura became weaker and weaker. In the blink, it was riddled with injuries, its strength being less than 10%.


    ��Leave it alive!�� Ye Yuan called out.


    Li Yue said with a cold snort, ��This kind of monster, spare for what? Just kill it!��


    As he said, he suddenly made a move and was about to slay the devil monster leader.


    ��Immobilize!��


    A thunderclap-like voice seemingly shouted out from great antiquity.


    The few mighty experts were caught off-guard and were actually immobilized at the same time!


    A figure suddenly appeared in front of the devil monster leader.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Ye Yuan directly plunged a hand into the devil monster leader��s head. He grabbed the devil monster leader��s tarnished black devil crystal!

 Chapter 2187 - Forgot to Tell You

    ��Seal!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry and sent out a force, directly sealing the devil monster leader��s tarnished black devil crystal.


    Quicker than words could tell.


    This series of actions did not even reach a breath of time.


    Finishing with all these, Time Freeze suddenly shattered.


    Everything returned to normal.


    The few great Empyreans used eyes like having seen a ghost to stare fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    This guy actually froze all of them just now!


    Although it was just a short instant, they were really unable to do anything during that moment!


    ��This �� This guy can actually control spacetime? What was that just now? Heavenly Dao True Word?�� Li Yue looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of shock.


    Although Ye Yuan��s golden needles piercing the acupoints turned the battle situation around, the unhappiness in Li Yue��s heart was not dispelled.


    He knew what Ye Yuan wanted to do, but the unhappiness from before turned into a wicked mentality during that moment.


    He wanted to kill this devil monster leader and sever Ye Yuan��s hope!


    But Ye Yuan used this sort of bizarre way to save the devil monster leader.


    How could this not surprise him?


    How many methods did this brat have?


    Done with all this, Ye Yuan turned around, seething with killing intent.


    Li Yue��s way of doing things already touched his bottom line!


    ��Don��t you forget, after the golden needles pierced your acupoints, there will be a period of extreme weakness! At that time, your life and death will be dictated by me!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were bone-piercingly cold.


    Li Yue��s expression changed drastically. He only cared about venting his anger earlier, why would he think so much?


    Currently, upon Ye Yuan��s reminder, only then did Li Yue suddenly startled awake.


    Those golden needles indeed let him obtain powerful strength, but what about after tiding over the immediate crisis?


    Suddenly, Li Yue��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a hideous grin, ��So what? This Empyrean hasn��t passed the powerful period yet currently!��


    Zheng Yufeng��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Li Yue, do you still want face? If not for Ye Yuan, we��d probably have long been killed by these abyss monsters now! You actually want to repay kindness with ingratitude now!��


    Li Yue smiled coldly and said, ��So what? This punk is so unbelievably cocky! This Empyrean has long been displeased at the sight of him! Now, the crisis has already been resolved. We also roughly understand the situation here already and can go back and report on the completion of the mission. This brat doesn��t have much use anymore as well!��


    Zheng Yufeng��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Have you asked me about wanting to kill Ye Yuan? Or is it that you think that everybody will look on with folded arms?��


    Li Yue chuckled and suddenly made a move.


    A large number of umbrellas flew towards the sky, instantly enveloping the few powerhouses in the vicinity fully.


    Zheng Yufeng��s face changed and he cried out in shock, ��Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella! You actually even brought this out!��


    Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella was a peak empyrean spirit treasure of the Clearwater Bodhidharma that Li Yue was from.


    Or should it be said that it was a quasi-heavenly emperor spirit treasure!


    This spirit treasure had a resounding reputation within the seven major factions�� sphere of influence.


    It was because this empyrean spirit treasure could absorb the divine essence of the martial artists within a certain radius, and then supplement it onto themselves.


    This was equivalent to reducing the opponent��s strength when fighting and increasing one��s own strength.


    If it was under the situation where their strengths were on par, this empyrean spirit treasure would be a trump card!


    And this empyrean spirit treasure was most formidable during group battles.


    Like now!


    At this time, everyone only felt that a portion of the divine essence in their bodies was instantly drained.


    While Li Yue��s aura was in the midst of soaring madly.


    Finally, he actually stepped into Seventh Firmament Empyrean!


    Although this was just temporary, he truly possessed the strength of Seventh Firmament Empyrean right now!


    ��Hahaha �� now, is there still anyone that wants to come out and protect this brat?�� Li Yue looked like a cat that ate the canary, letting out a wild laugh.


    How could the others still be Li Yue��s match after having a significant amount of divine essence drained?


    Even Zheng Yufeng also shut his mouth sensibly.


    Speaking at this time was equivalent to seeking death!


    He could not help looking toward Ye Yuan, having a worried look on his face.


    Just earlier, a stream of strange power circled one round inside Ye Yuan��s body, attempting to draw out his divine essence.


    But this force actually could not extract Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence.


    In the end, it returned without accomplishing anything.


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Yue expressionlessly and said coolly, ��This empyrean spirit treasure is pretty good. I��ll be accepting it.��


    Li Yue narrowed his eyes, a cold light shining as he said in a cold voice, ��Reckless and blind thing! Is your reliance that Heavenly Dao True Word? With my present strength, you can at most only freeze time for that instance! Even if I stand there and let you hit, what can you do to me? But how many times can you use this martial technique?��


    Seventh Firmament Empyrean versus Second Firmament Empyrean, the disparity in-between was a massive chasm.


    Even if Ye Yuan��s combat strength was astonishing, it was also very hard to kill Li Yue in an instant.


    Hence, he had nothing to fear!


    Ye Yuan��s eyelids raised slightly, and he said coolly, ��If you keep spurting nonsense, the golden needles piercing acupoints method will time out!��


    Li Yue could not help choking when he heard that and said in a solemn voice, ��Courting death!��


    Under his rage, Li Yue exerted all of his strength. The tremendous power of Seventh Firmament Empyrean made the faces of everyone present change drastically.


    Sixth Firmament Empyrean to Seventh Firmament Empyrean, this was a massive gulf.


    Now, Li Yue crossed this gulf, how many times did his strength increase?


    More importantly, Li Yue was still under the effect of the golden needles right now, his strength terrifying to the extreme!


    ��Crimsonmoon Azurelight Sword!��


    One sword emerging, countless streaks of azure lights were akin to dense rain, stabbing at the place where Ye Yuan was at.


    Unavoidable!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    After a bout of indiscriminate bombardment, a large pit was blasted out at the place where Ye Yuan was standing at.


    Even the void had several cracks blasted out, while Ye Yuan vanished without a trace.


    Li Yue chuckled and said, ��So what even if you have a lot of measures? So what if you know the golden needle piercing acupoints method? Didn��t you still die at this Empyrean��s hands?��


    ��This move is lacking in power! Just a reminder, the duration of the effect doesn��t have long remaining.�� A leisurely void sounded out behind everyone.


    Everyone turned around, but saw that Ye Yuan was currently standing on top of a tree; very cozy.


    While his body did not have any injury at all.


    Li Yue��s pupils constricted and he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he gritted his teeth and said, ��Impossible! My Crimsonmoon Azurelight Sword even locked space down! How did you escape?��


    Ye Yuan was still expressionless as he said, ��Uh, forgot to tell you. My spatial law is already comprehended to the peak Sixth Firmament. I��m afraid that it��s a little hard for your degree of attack to want to harm me.��


    Li Yue��s entire body trembled, his eyeballs almost popping out.


    Spatial law comprehended to peak Sixth Firmament, what kind of concept was this?


    Beneath Heavenly Emperor, it was far too difficult to want to kill Ye Yuan!


    Unless one planned things beforehand, like Long Xiao, locking down all space.


    Otherwise, there was basically no hope!


    But now, where would Li Yue go and make arrangements?


    A despairing mood instantly spread throughout Li Yue��s entire body.


    Could not kill Ye Yuan, then there was only waiting for Ye Yuan to come and kill him!


    Thud!


    Li Yue actually knelt down toward Ye Yuan involuntarily.


    ��B-Brother Ye, I �� I, Li Yue, had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! S-spare me!��

 Chapter 2188 - That’s Right, Playing You

    When he said this, Li Yue was practically sobbing.


    His greatest reliance was the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella!


    Under such a circumstance, it could let his strength soar.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan��s greatest trump card was not whatever golden needles piercing acupoints, nor was it some Heavenly Dao True Word. It was actually spatial law!


    While Ye Yuan could not win against him, Ye Yuan did not need to fight with him at all.


    As long as Ye Yuan ran the timer out, he could only stretch his neck out for the executer��s blade.


    This was impressive!


    ��Sixth Firmament spatial law �� Brother Ye��s strength is truly inconceivable!��


    ��At a young age, how can he be so monstrous? Could it be that this guy started cultivating in his mother��s womb?��


    ��Heh, Li Yue this fellow calculated everything, but he failed to calculate this. He finally kicked a metal plate today.��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Yue and said coolly, ��Sparing you, it��s not that I can��t.��


    When everyone saw the situation, they secretly nodded one after another.


    This was also within reason. Li Yue��s status in Clearwater Bodhidharma was rather high. Otherwise, he would not have been bestowed the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella.


    Ye Yuan was apprehensive of the faction behind him, so sparing his life was also ought to be.


    Otherwise, after going out, Ye Yuan would have endless trouble.


    Li Yue��s eyes glinted and he said in pleasant surprise, ��As long as Brother Ye lifts your hand high up in mercy, Li Yue is willing to pay any price��


    Ye Yuan��s finger pointed at the void, pointing at the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella as he said, ��I want it.��


    Li Yue��s face changed, his expression ugly as he said, ��This �� The Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella is my Clearwater Bodhidharma��s precious treasure. It can��t be easily given to people. If handed to Brother Ye, I��ll definitely be heavily punished after going back!��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��If you don��t hand it to me, you��ll suffer a heavy punishment right now.��


    Li Yue was silent for a moment. Gritting his teeth, he said, ��Fine, I��ll give it to Brother Ye!��


    His hatred toward Ye Yuan in his heart was already heinous.


    But the circumstances were stronger than people. He had no choice but to lower his head right now.


    Li Yue secretly swore in his heart. After going out, he would definitely request his elders to take action and exterminate this hateful punk.


    At once, Li Yue did not hesitate either, calling in the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella and wiped away his divine soul imprint, and gave this quasi-emperor level empyrean spirit treasure to Ye Yuan just like this.


    Done with all these, the time limit for golden needles piercing acupoints finally arrived as well.


    The Empyreans present wailed out, all collapsing from exhaustion.


    But being able to preserve their lives was already very good, this bit of agony was naturally no big deal.


    Furthermore, everyone discovered that Ye Yuan��s golden needles piercing acupoint technique was extremely profound. It only made them collapse from exhaustion and did not cause any damage to their bodies or cultivation.


    This way, everyone was naturally endlessly grateful toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan put away the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella, arrived before Li Yue, and said coolly, ��The time is up. I can send you on your way.��


    Li Yue��s expression changed wildly and he said in alarm and anger, ��You �� You played me?��


    Ye Yuan admitted it very shamelessly: ��That��s right, played you. Wanting the Ten Directional Forbidden Spirit Umbrella was merely to drag it out. Do you think that without you, I won��t be able to wipe away your divine sense imprint?��


    Ever since absorbing the large amount of sea of law that time, the Soul Suppressing Pearl already completely advanced. It became a heavenly emperor spirit treasure.


    With the Soul Suppressing Pearl��s current strength, wouldn��t wiping away Li Yue��s divine sense imprint still be easily accomplished?


    The reason why he played the hypocrite with every semblance of sincerity was merely to prevent a cornered dog from biting, that was all.


    Li Yue was incomparably ashamed and resentful and roared furiously, ��You �� If you dare kill me, Clearwater Bodhidharma won��t let you off!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what? You taunted and jeered along the way, I couldn��t be bothered to haggle over it. But when you attempted to kill the abyss monster leader, your time of death arrived!��


    Ye Yuan was not someone who sought revenge for the smallest grievance, but if Li Yue killed the devil monster leader, it would be equivalent to severing hopes of finding Li-er.


    He could not tolerate this!


    Li-er��s life or death was unknown. Ye Yuan was in a heavy mood to begin with.


    Li Yue provoked him time and again. He originally could not be bothered to haggle over it.


    But in the end, he actually repaid kindness with ingratitude and wanted to kill the devil monster leader.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was their group��s life savior!


    Li Yue was simultaneously alarmed and enraged, but at this time, he was already a fish on the chopping board. So how could he still have the strength to resist Ye Yuan?


    Currently, Li Yue��s divine essence had been exhausted. He did not have any spare strength to protect his body at all.


    A cold light flashed. Li Yue perished, his Dao dissipating!


    Everyone looked at this scene in great shock, being shocked by Ye Yuan��s ruthlessness and decisiveness.


    A Sixth Firmament Empyrean, Clearwater Bodhidharma��s future Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, was blotted out by Ye Yuan just like that.


    Those Clearwater Bodhidharma Empyreans were all silent like cicadas in winter, afraid of Ye Yuan transferring his anger onto them.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan turned around and walked toward the abyss monster leader.


    The monster leader looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of terror.


    This human brat was too bizarre!


    Ye Yuan was clearly different from other humans, aware of where the weakness of abyss monsters lay.


    Detaining his tarnished black devil crystal, even if he had monstrous strength, he was also a piece of junk now.


    ��Human brat, give up! This empyrean won��t tell you what you want to know! It��s impossible for the noble abyss monsters to submit to humans!�� The monster leader looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile.


    ��Is that so?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly grabbed, holding the tarnished black devil crystal in his hand.


    Chaos Heavenspan Canon quietly revolved and started absorbing the tarnished black devil crystal��s power.


    The monster leader��s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    This human was actually absorbing the tarnished black devil crystal��s power!


    He could actually absorb the tarnished black devil crystal��s power!


    He only felt that the strength in his body was being extracted bit by bit.


    Ye Yuan��s speed of extracting the tarnished black devil crystal was not fast, but this way, the monster leader��s fear would gradually magnify.


    ��You rest assured. I won��t devour all of your strength. When your strength drops to the True God Realm, I��ll release your seal and let you go back. I think that your companions should be very happy to see you then,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The monster leader��s body shuddered again, its gaze full of terror.


    The monster leader cried out, ��You �� You��re a demon!��


    Ye Yuan had lived for more than ten years in the Dragon Eye Cave and had killed before no idea how many abyss monsters. How could he not know their habits and characteristics?


    The abyss monster world was a hundred times, a thousand times crueler than the human world!


    The rise of a Sixth Firmament Empyrean devil leader followed the wake of countless slaughter and suppression.


    When those companions of his see his strength fall to True God Realm, his outcome would be unbelievably wretched.


    Ye Yuan ignored the devil leader, he just quietly absorbed the power in the tarnished black devil crystal.


    True suffering was not dying all at once.


    But the process of quietly waiting for death!


    Terror spread in the devil leader��s body little by little.


    The other Empyreans all quietly watched Ye Yuan, their eyes full of astonishment.


    They could feel that the devil leader��s aura was diminishing bit by bit, while Ye Yuan��s aura was growing stronger little by little.


    Ye Yuan was actually absorbing the devil monster leader��s strength to increase his own strength!


    Just what kind of freak was this guy!


    Finally, the devil monster leader could not endure this kind of despairing feeling and broke down.


    ��I �� I��ll talk! I��ll talk! I beg you, stop absorbing!��

 Chapter 2189 - Continuing Forward

    Listening entirely to the news from the devil monster leader, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed even tighter.


    Li-er did not die!


    But Li-er was captured!


    These abyss monsters were actually going to send Li-er into the abyss space!


    With the devil monster��s level, he did not know the reasons involved.


    The human powerhouses who fell into the Blackflame Cave previously were already all devoured by the abyss monsters.


    Only left Li-er alone!


    There were clearly more unknown secrets involved.


    Although it was Ye Yuan��s first time hearing abyss space this place, there was no need to guess that he also knew that the place was the abyss monsters�� main camp!


    If Li-er went there, even if he had exceedingly formidable abilities, it would also be hard to rescue her.


    Ye Yuan knew that this abyss space definitely had immensely powerful existences.


    Otherwise, why would those Dragon Clan major powers suppress in the depths of the Dragon Eye Cave?


    For some time, Ye Yuan��s heart burned with anxiety.


    At this time, Zheng Yufeng went up and consoled him. Zheng Yufeng said, ��Brother Ye, Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli will be blessed by the heavens and definitely turn calamities into blessings!��


    Ye Yuan forcefully pressed down the anxiety in his heart and nodded slightly as he said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Zheng, thank you for your auspicious blessings! Arriving here, I believe that everyone also knows the situation in the Blackflame Cave. Continuing to advance further, I��m afraid that everyone won��t be able to return anymore. It ends here then!��


    The few leaders nodded one after another, all agreeing with Ye Yuan��s view.


    This damn place, they did not wish to stay for a moment longer.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would already currently be dead until dregs did not remain.


    Zheng Yufeng let out a sigh and said, ��There��s only like this.��


    Suddenly, Lin Changqing rushed in front of Ye Yuan, and pointed at Ye Yuan as he roared angrily, ��Ye Yuan, you coward! Do you plan on leaving Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli here alone?��


    Everyone cast strange gazes toward Lin Changqing, Ye Yuan��s choice was naturally the wise choice.


    Continuing forward at this time, what could he do apart from sending himself to death?


    Lin Changqing��s action was a little too impulsive and without due consideration.


    Ye Yuan ignored Lin Changqing and said to the few leaders with clasped hands, ��Gentlemen, we��ll part here!��


    Everyone was stunned, what did this mean?


    Zheng Yufeng asked probingly, ��Brother Ye, you aren��t leaving together with us?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Li-er is in danger. How can this Ye look on with folded arms? Even if I lose this life, this Ye will also have to rescue her!��


    At this time, tenderness revealed in Ye Yuan��s eyes made the group of Empyreans cast sidelong glances too.


    Only then did everyone know that Ye Yuan��s meaning was that they should leave, while he would stay.


    What a lovesick man!


    Zheng Yufeng was taken aback and urged, ��Brother Ye, it is not that this Zheng isn��t concerned about Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli. Didn��t you also see it? Continuing forward is certain death! Is such a thing that brings destruction on yourself worth it?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s not worth it or not; only willing or not. Gentlemen, let��s part here.��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan brought the devil monster leader and turned around and left.


    Lin Changqing was frozen on the spot. Abruptly startling awake, he took quick steps and caught up to Ye Yuan.


    ��I��ll go too!�� Lin Changqing said with a firm gaze.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing and said calmly, ��If I go myself, there��s a fraction of assurance. Bringing you �� this fraction will be gone. If you insist on following and sending yourself to doom, I have no objections either. But �� don��t �� follow �� me!��


    Talking to the back, Ye Yuan��s tone gradually turned cold.


    The meaning of his words was already very clear, you could only get in the way if you follow!


    Lin Changqing��s complexion turned deathly pale with a whoosh, feeling all the strength in his body being drained.


    If it were before, if anyone dared to say such things in front of him, he would definitely have sent a slap over.


    But now, after witnessing Ye Yuan��s series of inconceivable means, his confidence was long demoralized until it was battered black and blue.


    Finally, it turned into a bitter smile as he said, ��Alright, I got it!��


    Finished talking, Lin Changqing turned around, his back view being indescribably lonely.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing��s back view and shook his head slightly.


    He understood Lin Changqing��s thoughts. It was just too bad that no one could understand his knot with Li-er.


    Lin Changqing could only be a passer-by.


    Zheng Yufeng also sighed slightly. Toward this scene, he had nothing to say as well.


    To talk about Lin Changqing, he was absolutely exceptionally gifted, being the most unequivocally talented among them apprentice brothers.


    It was just a shame that his opponent was Ye Yuan!


    In front of such a monster, so what even if one��s talent was any greater?


    Ye Yuan brought the devil monster leader and gradually vanished from everyone��s line of sight.


    Zheng Yufeng and the rest did not dare to stay too long either, withdrawing one after another.


    After an hour, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped and asked the devil monster leader, ��Do you have a name?��


    The devil monster leader trembled and said, ��This lowly one is called Mosius.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��From today onward, you��re my slave! Now, let��s sign the Devil Devouring Contract!��


    Mosius��s expression changed wildly, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of terror.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan actually even knew about the Devil Devouring Contract.


    How could he know that Ye Yuan had killed countless abyss monsters in the Dragon Eye Cave and had long thoroughly grasped some information about the abyss monsters?


    This Devil Devouring Contract was similar to the slave contact of humans.


    Once the contract was formed, the abyss monster would unconditionally obey the other party and become the other party��s slave.


    If there was the thought of resisting, they would immediately get a backlash from the contract and die, with their outcome being extremely miserable.


    Under normal circumstances, even if abyss monsters were to die, they would not sign a Devil Devouring Contract too.


    But at the thought of Ye Yuan��s methods, Mosius could not refrain from shuddering.


    ��Even if we signed a Devil Devouring Contract, you also can��t possibly rescue that human girl! Further in are all late-stage Empyrean lords. There are even Heavenly Emperor level lords holding down the fort! If you go, there��s no hope at all!�� Mosius gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��That��s not something that you should be worried about. You can choose to die or sign a Devil Devouring Contract with me.��


    Dignity this thing, once lost, then it would be lost again and again.


    Under Ye Yuan��s despotic power, Mosius finally still signed the Devil Devouring Contract with Ye Yuan.


    ��Master!�� Mosius lay prone in front of Ye Yuan, his attitude being incomparably humble and polite.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Suddenly, his aura changed.


    Thick devilish energy poured out of Ye Yuan��s body and wrapped his entire person up.


    Thick black fur also grew on Ye Yuan��s body.


    He looked exactly like an abyss monster.


    Abyss monsters had no common form; humanoid shapes were also not in the minority.


    ��M-Master, this is �� too inconceivable!�� Mosius was shocked until he could not use words to describe it any longer.


    A human actually became an abyss monster with a sway of his body.


    Even he, this Sixth Firmament Empyrean super powerhouse, could not differentiate the truth in the slightest!


    What kind of existence was this master of his?!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Can your Heavenly Emperor powerhouses differentiate my appearance?��


    Mosius shook his head hard and said, ��Absolutely impossible to tell! All of the characteristics on Master��s body are identical with abyss monsters. They absolutely can��t differentiate Master from abyss monsters!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s good then. You take these tarnished black devil crystals and recover your cultivation as fast as possible.��

 Chapter 2190 - A Thousand Years in a Blink

    Along the way, the devilish energy gradually grew thicker.


    In the surroundings, some powerful auras appeared at times, and then disappeared.


    These auras were much stronger than even Mosius��s.


    Ye Yuan followed him. It was smooth along the way.


    There were countless checkpoints they had to pass through. The two people finally arrived at a small-scale city.


    When a guard saw Mosius, he asked, ��Mosius, not garrisoning your own territory, what are you doing here?��


    Ye Yuan noticed that the guards here were all Empyrean-level powerhouses!


    Mosius hurriedly answered, ��I��m here to meet Lord Manya. There��s an important matter to report.��


    The guard��s gaze landed on Ye Yuan and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who is he?��


    Mosius explained, ��He��s my subordinate. This important information was discovered by him.��


    The guard said coolly, ��Lord Manya is currently trying to cheer the Divine Daughter up. I��m afraid that he doesn��t have time to meet you. You go to the courier station to rest first and await summons.��


    Mosius was taken aback and said, ��Divine Daughter? What Divine Daughter?��


    The guard smiled and said, ��You still don��t know? It��s that human female who was captured! Great Sage Nineorigin said that she��s the Divine Race��s Divine Daughter and is to be sent to the Abyss World. Otherwise �� how can she possibly live until now?��


    Ye Yuan��s heart shook wildly when he heard that.


    How did Li-er become a Divine Daughter?��


    Also, what the hell was this Divine Race?


    For some time, Ye Yuan��s heart was in an upheaval. It was as if this matter concerned some earth-shattering secrets.


    ��Your Excellency, this lowly one has a way to coax that human Divine Daughter to cheer up,�� Ye Yuan said to the guard.


    The guard was taken aback and said, ��You really have a way? The Divine Daughter kicks up a row daily about wanting to return to the human race. It��s no use no matter how Lord Manya persuades her. His head is almost exploding! If you really have a way, that will be a major achievement.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Your Excellency, rest assured. This lowly one will definitely accomplish it.��


    The guard said, ��Alright then, you guys go to the courier station first. I��ll go and report to Lord Manya.��


    Mosius brought him to the courier station. Monstrous waves surged in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    The abyss monsters here were no longer disorganized like he had seen before.


    On the contrary, the abyss monsters in this city were like an army!


    A city, courier station, guards, these were not things that a race like the abyss monsters would have.


    Although the intelligence of abyss monsters was rather high, their world leaned more toward fierce beasts.


    The weak were prey and the strong feasts; and the strong survived!


    Also, hearing about the Divine Race and the Divine Daughter, what kind of place was this abyss space?


    Asking Mosius, he was not clear either.


    With his status, he could not come into contact with these at all.


    Mosius was just a weakling who was banished outside.


    He took orders from Manya, and Manya brought him here. That was all.


    Also, there was this region of space. No matter how Ye Yuan looked, why did it seem like a sundered boundary connecting the abyss space and the Heavenspan World?


    Since the Dragon Clan was suppressing the abyss space, it showed that that place was the only passageway.


    Then what was the deal with this place?


    For some time, countless doubts and suspicions lingered in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Not long after, that guard came to the courier status and found Ye Yuan.


    When Manya heard that Ye Yuan could cheer the Divine Daughter up, he was overjoyed and made Ye Yuan go over at once.


    When Manya saw Ye Yuan, he asked with uncertainty, ��You can make the Divine Daughter feel at ease and stay?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Lord Manya, rest assured. Not completing the mission, this lowly one will carry my head to see you.��


    Manya��s eyes lit up and he said with a big laugh, ��Good! If you can make the Divine Daughter set her mind at rest and stay, this emperor will give you great rewards!��


    Finished talking, Manya brought Ye Yuan and arrived at a stone house.


    The stone house was very spacious, but the moment Ye Yuan got close, he discovered that a lot of restrictions were laid down in the perimeter.


    These restrictions, Ye Yuan actually had never seen them before. They were very profound.


    Clearly, this was in order to prevent Li-er from running.


    Upon entering the door, two items flew over with a whoosh.


    Inside the house, a woman��s angry yell came over, ��Scram! I asked you all to get lost! Are you all deaf?��


    But these words sounded like the most moving honeyed words in Ye Yuan��s ears.


    How many years had he not heard this voice already?


    This separation was already close to 2000 years!


    Time did not wear away his feelings but made longing converge into a sea instead.


    When that beautiful figure landed in his eyes, Ye Yuan��s heart that was firm as stone also melted.


    ��Sniff, sniff �� Big Brother Yuan, Li-er can��t see you ever again. Sorry �� really sorry �� Li-er �� Li-er didn��t do it on purpose!��


    After the tantrum, Li-er lay on the table, crying her heart out.


    Ye Yuan��s heart quivered, practically about to shed tears.


    In his impression, Li-er was good-natured and lovely, graceful and dignified. She would never be so irascible.


    But now, she knew that this departure would be eternal separation. That kind of hopeless feeling poured out from the depths of her heart, that was why she would become like this.


    Manya had a depressed look. These few days, he was suffering Yue Mengli��s fury.


    Manya gave Ye Yuan a look, Ye Yuan got the meaning and moved a few steps forward, bowing as he said, ��Lord Divine Daughter, this lowly one has good news to tell you.��


    Yue Mengli suddenly exploded and roared angrily, ��I don��t want to hear any good news! You get lost for me! You ugly fellow, scram for me!��


    Suddenly, Yue Mengli��s entire body trembled, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    The boundless rage suddenly became tranquility.


    Ye Yuan bowed his body, but a pair of eyes met with Yue Mengli��s.


    One look was sufficient between him and Li-er!


    Although this abyss monster in front of her, from external form, looking at the aura, she completely did not recognize, but no idea why, this look immediately made her quieten down.


    Why did this look so familiar?


    Why did this look so alike Big Brother Yuan��s?


    He was clearly an abyss monster, so why ��


    Li-er��s entire person turned stiff there.


    Manya��s gaze flickered! There was a chance!


    Yue Mengli��s reaction was also quick, her pretty face turning cold as she said, ��What good news, say!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��The human race that side sent people to come and find Divine Daughter.��


    Yue Mengli��s heart quivered and she said, ��What happened to them?��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��What else can there be? They were naturally sent packing by Lord Mosius.��


    Yue Mengli��s brows furrowed, and she reproached, ��You this fellow, deliberately showing off in front of me is it?��


    The moment Manya heard that things were going wrong, he hurriedly scolded, ��You damn thing, intentionally using this news to anger Divine Daughter?��


    But who knew that Yue Mengli waved her hand and said to Manya, ��Forget it, you withdraw first! Since there��s that side��s news, I want to hear him say.��


    Manya hurriedly answered and withdrew.


    As long as this ancestor stopped kicking up a row, all would be fine and right with the world.


    Leaving Ye Yuan behind to chat with her also seemed to be a pretty good choice.


    He was not scared of Ye Yuan bringing Yue Mengli and running away either. After all, the restrictions here were laid down from Lord Nineorigin.


    Even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse could forget about escape from here too!


    The moment Manya left, Yue Mengli��s gaze looked at Ye Yuan somewhat blurry as she said, ��The look in your eyes �� is very similar to an old friend of mine!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, chaos world power quietly releasing, wrapping him and Li-er up inside.

 Chapter 2191 - Escape!

    The black fur subsided; his divine essence quietly changed.


    Inside the chaos world, Ye Yuan recovered his original looks.


    When Li-er saw this magical scene, her beautiful body shuddered, with her eyes full of disbelief.


    Ever since being captured, Yue Mengli had been living in despair and fear every day.


    Fear toward the future, fear toward the unknown.


    She knew that she could not see Ye Yuan anymore!


    But, in the midst of this despair, Ye Yuan actually broke through the layers of blockades and shackles, and then he arrived in front of her.


    Her shock could be imagined!


    Surprise, worry, longing �� countless emotions interweaved in Yue Mengli��s heart.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, I �� I��m not dreaming, right!�� Yue Mengli��s eyes were blurred by tears as if she was in a dream.


    Ye Yuan walked forward and lightly hugged Li-er as he said, ��Of course it isn��t a dream. Big Brother Yuan came to fetch you home.��


    ��I even thought �� I even thought that I won��t ever see you anymore! Sniff, sniff ����


    Ten years of despair, being snatched from the jaws of death, the agitation in Yue Mengli��s heart currently simply could not be controlled.


    Her state of mind was like grabbing onto a piece of driftwood before drowning.


    That sort of agitation was simply hard to put into words.


    How could Ye Yuan not know Yue Mengli��s feelings?


    He did not speak either, just lightly hugging her like this as he said, ��Cry. It will feel a little better after crying out.��


    No idea how long passed either, the crying gradually stopped. Only then did Yue Mengli slowly lift her head. She looked at Ye Yuan as she said, ��Big Brother Yuan, s-sorry, I ����


    Ye Yuan helped her to wipe away the tears and said with a light smile, ��Silly girl, is there still a need to say this sort of words between you and me? There��s no need to say anything. I understand.��


    These 2000 years of scrambling, who did Yue Mengli do it for?


    Of course it was for him, Ye Yuan!


    As for this kind of outcome, it was naturally not what Li-er hoped for either. How could Ye Yuan blame it on her?


    One sentence, 2000 years of grievances, all melted away.


    After feeling sad, Yue Mengli felt even more shocked.


    With her current Second Firmament Empyrean strength, she actually could not see through Ye Yuan��s cultivation!


    ��Big Brother Yuan, is �� is this your world? It seems �� to be different!��


    Only at this time did Yue Mengli notice it. She saw the surrounding scenery and discovered that it was greatly different from ordinary small worlds.


    She was rather surprised. Just what kind of boundary had Ye Yuan reached at the moment?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right, my world is called chaos world. It��s indeed different from ordinary small worlds. I��ll tell you about this again in the future. We have to think of a way to get out of here first.��


    Yue Mengli shook her head and said, ��Big Brother Yuan, I know that you��re very impressive, but it��s no use! This room��s restrictions were laid down by the Divine Race��s Nineorigin. His strength is unfathomable.��


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, ��Just what kind of race is this Divine Race? Why would you become their Divine Daughter?��


    Yue Mengli said, ��They said that the Divine Race is a race that��s blessed by heaven. Hence, they call themselves as the Divine Race. The Divine Race has a sparse population, but each one is unbelievably powerful. As for me �� I don��t know either, but it might be related to my spirit and body fusing into one.��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his brows could not help knitting tightly together.


    A race blessed by heaven! Such high-sounding sentiments!


    Regardless of whether it was the human race or the demon race, they both did not dare to utter such big talk.


    ��Then why would this Divine Race get mixed up with the abyss monsters?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Abyss monsters take pride in serving the Divine Race, and they obey the Divine Race absolutely! As for the relationship between them, I don��t know.�� Yue Mengli clearly did not know much either.


    But Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart, abyss monsters were extremely strong, far surpassing same rank humans.


    But such a proud race actually bowed their heads in submission toward the Divine Race.


    It could be seen that this Divine Race was definitely very powerful!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��The restrictions here are extremely powerful. Even space is sealed. But as long as we leave this house, I have confidence in bringing you out!��


    Li-er revealed a difficult look as she said, ��But they won��t let me go out of this house at all.��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Relax, leave it to me!��


    �� ��


    Exiting the stone house and switching on the restrictions, Manya let out a long sigh in relief.


    ��Huhu, Mosius, this brat that you brought is pretty good! If he can coax Divine Daughter, you will be considered to have rendered a major accomplishment. At that time, this emperor will transfer you to the Divine Capital!�� Manya looked at Mosius with a look of praise.


    These few days, Yue Mengli��s performance gave him a terrible headache.


    Today, he could finally heave a sigh in relief.


    He was naturally very satisfied with this kid who performed pretty well.


    Mosius said sincerely, ��Sharing Lord Manya��s burdens is Mosius�� honor!��


    Manya nodded slightly and said coolly, ��These few days, Lord Nineorigin has been handling the matter of the two world��s passageway. I reckon that it��s almost time. Once the two worlds�� passageway is secured, we��ll be able to send Divine Daughter into the abyss space. Oh, right, what were you looking for me for?��


    Mosius said, ��Subordinate came to report to Lord Manya that these few days, there was another batch of human powerhouses who entered the passageway again. This batch of human powerhouses was very strong, but they were still beaten off by us. But this time, this subordinate only had a pyrrhic victory, the casualties being extremely heavy.��


    Manya��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, ��You this fellow, turns out that you��re complaining to this emperor about being hard up. Relax. Later, I��ll transfer some manpower from the other outer-region commanders there to you!��


    Mosius was overjoyed and said, ��Many thanks, Lord Manya!��


    Manya chuckled and said, ��Want to thank, thank this kid that you brought! If he placates the Divine Daughter, what does this minor matter count for?��


    The abyss monster race was quite unruly. Making them deal with women, it was simply even more torturous than going down to the 18th level of hell to Manya.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance today completely liberated him. So how could he not be happy?


    This way, he also did not have his former airs when talking to Mosius, and he was very cordial.


    No idea how long had passed either, movements came from inside.


    ��Lord Manya, Divine Daughter has already agreed to stay! She says that she has something to tell Lord Manya. Lord Manya, please come in.�� Inside the stone house, there was a restriction that transmitted one��s voice outside. Ye Yuan��s voice came from inside.


    The moment Manya heard, he could not help being overjoyed, hurriedly opening up the restrictions.


    The moment the stone door opened, Manya was about to enter the stone house.


    But right at this time, he suddenly discovered something amiss.


    There was no abyss monster in the house, but an additional human!


    Manya immediately felt that it was not good and was about to erupt.


    However, it was already too late!


    ��Immobilize!��


    Ye Yuan bellowed, the vital energy in his body surging crazily.


    With this Time Freeze, he virtually used all of his strength!


    Instantaneously, the power of Heavenly Dao restrained Manya.


    However, Manya was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. He was far from what the current Ye Yuan could immobilize.


    Dao marks swam on his body. He was about to burst through the fetters of Time Freeze in a moment!


    However, Ye Yuan only needed this brief moment!


    When he opened his mouth, spatial law was already set in motion, bringing Li-er and teleporting outside of the stone house.


    ��Spatial node technique!��


    Ye Yuan brought Li-er and Mosius, executing the spatial node technique, returning to Mosius�� territory in an instant!

 Chapter 2192 - Come and Fight!

    This series of actions was natural and smooth, being unbelievably fast.


    From executing the immobilizing art to teleporting out, to executing the spatial node technique, it was just the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint.


    Ye Yuan had long calculated everything. When Manya broke through the constraints, he would have already slipped away long ago.


    Manya was merely a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor. Although he was extremely strong, the constraints of Time Freeze on him were still a little useful.


    What Ye Yuan needed was just that instant!


    Returning to Mosius��s territory, he displayed the greater teleportation art again. It was impossible for a Heavenly Emperor to catch up to him within a short time too!


    As long as they escaped outside of the Blackflame Cave, those abyss monsters would not be able to do anything to him anymore!


    ��Go!��


    Upon landing, Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly bringing the two people and executing greater teleportation.


    Although this Blackflame Cave was large, with Ye Yuan��s current spatial law, teleporting out was merely the matter of a few breaths of time.


    Three people traversed through space and could see the Blackflame Cave��s entrance in several breaths of time.


    Seeing the blue sky outside of the Blackflame Cave, Li-er��s face revealed a look of wild elation.


    She did not think that she could actually return to the Heavenspan World!


    However, Ye Yuan did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, urging spatial law to the limit.


    He was not worried about Manya, who he was worried about was that Divine Race powerhouse!


    He had never seen before Divine Race powerhouses and did not know how strong Divine Race powerhouses were.


    If there were any variables to his plan, it would likely lie on this Divine Race powerhouse.


    The entrance got closer bit by bit, but Ye Yuan��s breathing became more and more ragged.


    100 thousand feet!


    50 thousand feet!


    Ten thousand feet!


    5000 feet!


    1000 feet!


    The entrance was right before their eyes.


    Ye Yuan three people could already see the Angry Nether River outside.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    A terrifying fist force tore through the void and arrived in an instant!


    Bang!


    The void trembled, Ye Yuan��s greater teleportation art was actually directly broken.


    The three people fell!


    Ye Yuan suddenly raised his head, a figure was standing above the entrance area.


    Because of the lighting, it could not be seen distinctly.


    This figure stood with his hands behind his back, the gaze that looked down from a great height showed disdain upon the three people.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked over, only to see that the other party��s figure was no different from ordinary humans.


    But the aura exuding off his body was actually quite similar to Heavenly Dao!


    And on his body, one fine line after another entwined around.


    Dao mark!


    Ye Yuan looked at the other party, his expression incomparably solemn.


    Powerful!


    A might that made people suffocate!


    This kind of might actually gave Ye Yuan a feeling of not being able to overcome with force.


    Seeing this person, Li-er��s eyes revealed a look of despair.


    ��Nineorigin!��


    This person was the Divine Race powerhouse, Nineorigin!


    ��Divine Daughter, follow Nineorigin back! The Divine Race is your home!�� Nineorigin said expressionlessly.


    Yue Mengli bit her lips lightly and shook her head and said, ��I��ll never go back!��


    Nineorigin sighed lightly, but turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��You��re the Ye Yuan that the Divine Daughter spoke of?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��That��s right! It��s me!��


    Nineorigin nodded slightly and said, ��Entered the Divine Capital alone and brought Divine Daughter out under layers of experts. I��ve got to say, you��re very outstanding! If I wasn��t around, you��d likely really succeed. It��s just too bad that �� you have to die!��


    A hint of decisiveness flashed across in Yue Mengli��s gaze and she said, ��If Big Brother Yuan dies, I won��t drag out an ignorable existence either!��


    Nineorigin smiled lightly and said, ��Not killing him also works, you go back to the abyss with me.��


    Yue Mengli said without the slightest hesitation, ��Fine, I��ll go with you guys!��


    As she said, one powerful aura after another gathered over from all directions, surrounding Ye Yuan three people tightly.


    Manya rushed over first. Kneeling down in front of Nineorigin with a thud, he said in fear and trepidation, ��Great Sage Nineorigin, Manya deserves death!��


    Nineorigin said coolly, ��Give me a reason not to kill you.��


    Manya��s entire body trembled, recounting the events previously in detail.


    When Nineorigin heard, his brows could not help furrowing.


    He was previously consolidating the spatial channel and felt the fluctuations in space, that was why he would take action.


    If not, Ye Yuan would have long already brought Li-er and escaped at this time.


    Hence, he was also very enraged at the Manya who was guarding Yue Mengli.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had such miraculous means, to actually be able to bring Divine Daughter away with such a bizarre method.


    Even with Nineorigin��s hallowedness, he also could not help secretly feeling lucky at this time.


    Just a little bit and Ye Yuan would have succeeded.


    ��Uncle Nineorigin, what��s going on?�� At this time, a young man stepped on air and came over, arriving beside Nineorigin.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, this young man��s aura was the same as Nineorigin��s, also of the Divine Race.


    Nineorigin nodded slightly and said, ��It��s Xin? Xin, someone wants to bring away the Divine Daughter. Luckily, this was stopped by me.��


    Xin��s eyes turned to Ye Yuan and he said with a frown, ��It��s this lowly human?��


    Nineorigin nodded and said, ��That��s right.��


    Xin had a look of disdain as he said, ��Lowly humans all deserve to die! Blaspheming the Divine Daughter is even committing a crime upon crimes! Manya, why haven��t you taken action?��


    Manya had a ferocious look on his face, he was incredibly furious with Ye Yuan.


    An exalted Heavenly Emperor was actually played by a human.


    Furthermore, it was even a human who was much lower realm than him!


    ��Yes, Lord Divine Son!�� Manya kowtowed in reply and was about to make a move.


    Nineorigin shook his head and said, ��Divine Daughter agreed to go with us, so let him leave. Divine Daughter, can you leave with us now?��


    Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan, a look of reluctance to part.


    But she had no choice but to leave!


    If she did not go, with Ye Yuan��s strength, there was no hope of walking out of this place at all.


    It was missing just this one final step!


    Yue Mengli smiled bitterly and painfully in her heart.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, take care!�� Tears fell down the corners of Yue Mengli��s eyes.


    However, at that moment she turned around, a hand grabbed her.


    ��Big Brother Yuan?�� Yue Mengli was taken aback.


    Ye Yuan smiled.


    Smiled very radiantly!


    But it carried a hint of heroism and sorrow!


    He and Li-er had their hearts linked up, so how could she not know what Ye Yuan was thinking?


    Yeah, with Ye Yuan��s personality, how could he possibly watch her leave and not do anything?


    Ye Yuan looked at Nineorigin and said with a cold smile, ��So what if Divine Race? Today, I��m going to battle this Divine Race! Want to bring Li-er away, can! Step over my dead body! How can I, Ye Yuan, stand behind my woman and wag my tail pitifully?��


    Nineorigin��s gaze flickered slightly and did not speak.


    Xin��s mouth curled and he said contemptuously, ��You��ve got some backbone, but what right does a weakling like you have to say this? You are only fit to stand behind women and wag your tail pitifully! This Divine Son wants to see how tough your bones are!��


    Done talking, Xin gave a look. Manya understood this signal.


    It was only to see him reach his hand out. He beckoned, and then several hundred Empyrean level abyss monsters directly surrounded Ye Yuan three people tightly.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said in a solemn voice, ��Li-er, you go out first!��


    Yue Mengli knew that this was probably Ye Yuan��s fight with the least chance of victory to this day!


    Even when facing Kanuo back then, Ye Yuan also had a glimmer of hope.


    But, the person Ye Yuan was facing today was Nineorigin, a supreme powerhouse!


    ��Big Brother Yuan, you �� you be careful!��


    Forcefully enduring tears, Yue Mengli withdrew out of the battlefield.


    Ye Yuan released his aura and yelled coldly, ��Come and fight!��

 Chapter 2193 - Kill! Kill! Kill!

    ��Come and fight!��


    The three words being spat out of Ye Yuan��s mouth were akin to evening drum and morning bell in a monastery, reverberating in the entire sundered boundary.


    The domineering aura made Ye Yuan look akin to a god of war. He was not to be profaned!


    Not a single person actually dared to step forward!


    Several hundred Empyrean powerhouses were absolutely an extremely terrifying force in the outside world.


    Such a line-up could practically take down the vast majority of great imperial capitals in the Heavenspan World already.


    But now, they were intimidated by Ye Yuan alone!


    Ye Yuan drew the bone sword and stood proudly among them, with the heroism and sorrow of a warrior who would never return again.


    He understood that this was just that first wave!


    But he did not care!


    Why should he, Ye Yuan, fear a battle?


    Xin��s brows furrowed tightly, clearly very dissatisfied with these abyss monsters�� performance.


    ��What are you all still waiting for? Want this Divine Son to personally take action?�� Xin yelled coldly.


    Only then did those abyss monsters seem to go crazy, charging over toward Ye Yuan.


    Several hundred Empyrean level abyss monsters, there were even quite a number of Fourth and Fifth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters among them.


    What kind of terrifying force was this!


    Ye Yuan��s bone sword drew a line, Sword Hollow Etch suddenly attacking.


    With one exchange, three First and Second Firmament Empyrean level abyss monsters died under the sword!


    But it was also this instant that Ye Yuan fell into the sea of monsters.


    All around him was surrounded fully by powerful attacks.


    It was just that these attacks were nothing to Ye Yuan.


    Under spatial law, he could easily avoid this degree of attack.


    Those he had to truly be careful about were Fifth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters.


    Because these existences could hurt him.


    Under such a chaotic battle, it was impossible for Ye Yuan��s spatial law to completely avoid injuries.


    After all, the strength of Fifth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters was too strong!


    Ye Yuan��s sword swam like a wandering dragon, wandering among the horde, coming and leaving as it pleased.


    Places that it arrived at, it would reap the lives of those low-level abyss monsters mercilessly.


    True��A Sword Crossing the Void!


    True Sword Hollow Etch!


    Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Ye Yuan executed one move after another, and he actually killed many of them until the monster horde was in a great fluster.


    Xin frowned, clearly being very dissatisfied with the performance of the abyss monsters.


    ��Humph! Truly a bunch of useless things! So many Empyreans actually can��t do anything to a Second Firmament Empyrean!�� Xin said with a cold snort.


    But Nineorigin was not like him. Instead, he said rather interestedly, ��Xin, this punk isn��t weak! Furthermore �� this punk is odd!��


    Xin said with disdain, ��So what? In front of the Divine Race, the human race is merely an ant that will crumble at the first blow!��


    Nineorigin shook his head and said, ��This boy is greatly different! Did you notice it? He��s completing battles after battles, absorbing the power of the tarnished black devil crystals!��


    How sharp were Nineorigin��s eyes?


    Although Ye Yuan did it covertly, he saw it clearly!


    With each abyss monster he killed, he would snatch the tarnished black devil crystal over and secretly absorb its power.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s speed of absorption was ten times than normal!


    The current Ye Yuan could not care about whatever realm stability anymore.


    He had to rapidly increase his strength right now!


    He had to nurture his strength through constant battles, and he would then break through to the peak initial-stage Chaos Realm in the midst of the process!


    Initial-stage Chaos Realm did not have a bottleneck. As long as he kept on absorbing, he could increase his strength rapidly.


    At present, his realm was currently swiftly rising toward the peak Chaos Realm.


    Hence, even though the battle was fierce, Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence did not reduce, but it increased instead, his strength skyrocketing!


    Xin��s expression changed and he cried out in surprise, ��How can it be possible? Humans will explode and die from absorbing devilish energy!��


    Nineorigin smiled lightly and said, ��Heh, what��s strange about this? Even though I don��t know what cultivation method this boy is using, he can actually simulate the aura of abyss monsters and hoodwink everyone. It��s sufficient to indicate his formidable aspect!��


    Xin��s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief, ��How can it be possible? This sort of thing, even our Divine Race can��t accomplish it!��


    Nineorigin smiled and said, ��The man that can make Divine Daughter take a fancy to is bound to be extraordinary! Of course, he��s naturally much worse compared to Divine Son.��


    Only after hearing this did Xin��s expression become much better.


    ��That��s of course! Our Divine Race is this world��s strongest race to begin with, while each of our branches�� Divine Sons and Daughters, they are all distinguished talents among peers; absolutely powerful existences. How many cruel battles has this Divine Son experienced before I have today��s position? Just based on him, a mere human, what qualifications does he have to be mentioned in the same breath with this Divine Son?��


    Nineorigin smiled slightly, clearly very much in approval of this.


    He knew that for Xin to be able to have today��s achievements, that was relying on absolute strength, crushing his peers and standing proudly above all heroes!


    He had the qualifications to be arrogant!


    At this time, Nineorigin suddenly turned to Yue Mengli. Taking a step, he arrived in front of her.


    ��Stop!�� Yue Mengli shouted coldly.


    Nineorigin smiled and said, ��Divine Daughter, Nineorigin has already promised to let him go. It was him who isn��t willing! Can you go with me now?��


    Yue Mengli smiled coldly and said, ��Don��t you think about it! My divine essence has already spread throughout my entire body. As long as you move, I��ll explode and die! If you don��t believe me, you can give it a try!��


    Nineorigin��s brows furrowed. He did not think that Divine Daughter was actually so decisive. Letting out a sigh, he said, ��Forget it, carry on watching then!��


    At this time, the battle already entered a white-hot stage.


    Ye Yuan��s sword emerged like the wind, killing with each move, and already killed several dozen abyss monsters.


    His realm already closed in on peak initial-stage Chaos Realm!


    But by the side, Manya was in a thunderous rage and let loose a torrent of abuse towards the subordinates below.


    ��Are you all a bunch of pigs? So many Empyreans actually can��t deal with a puny little human!��


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    Those Fifth Firmament Empyrean powerhouse existences could not touch Ye Yuan at all and were brought around in circles by Ye Yuan.


    While Ye Yuan was like a sharp blade. Places that he passed through, he would wantonly reap lives.


    Seeing that the situation was not good, Manya roared loudly, ��All of you go down for this emperor, kill this boy!��


    He was speaking to the dozen over Sixth Firmament Empyrean commanders!


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed!


    Finally, he reached peak initial-stage Chaos Realm!


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    Ye Yuan roared thrice, stepped onto the void, the spirit of the true dragon emerging.


    Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!


    The spirit of the true dragon trampling down, the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, the void trembling.


    Below Fifth Firmament Empyrean, they were actually all smashed to death by this foot!


    One foot crushed more than a hundred Empyrean abyss monsters to death!


    Sixth Firmament Empyreans had yet to take the stage and those Fifth Firmament Empyrean powerhouses were already frightened until they retreated to one side.


    There was only Ye Yuan alone on the battlefield, being the last one standing!


    The entire place was dead silent, everyone used incomparably shocked eyes to look at Ye Yuan.


    Even those Sixth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters who were just planning on going down, they were actually all cowed into not moving forward.


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to a fiend god, giving people a feeling of not being able to overcome with force!


    The arrogant and unyielding abyss monsters were also suppressed by Ye Yuan in aura!


    Consecutively slaying several hundred Empyrean level abyss monsters, not only his imposing momentum did not diminish, it rose to another high instead!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s word pointed at the firmament and he glared furiously as he roared, ��A bunch of ants, to dare claim to be exalted, come again!��

 Chapter 2194 - Battling Divine Son!

    This was a battle without hope, but Ye Yuan��s arrogance made heaven and earth terrified!


    Even for a powerhouse like Nineorigin, the look of disdain on his face gradually faded away too.


    What replaced it was a hint of respect!


    Ye Yuan was not a god. Under the attacks of several hundred Empyreans that spanned the sky, even if he was proficient in spatial law, he already sustained considerable injuries too.


    But this did not affect his astonishing imposing momentum in the least bit.


    ��Kill for me! You fools, do you want to anger this emperor to death? He��s just one person! Only one person!��


    Manya was enraged until he stomped his feet and roared at his subordinates.


    Those Fifth and Sixth Firmament Empyrean devil monster commanders also seemed to feel ashamed, all roaring and charging toward Ye Yuan.


    At this time, the abyss monsters�� numbers plummeted sharply, but it scaled new heights in terms of quality.


    Without a bunch of initial-stage Empyreans dragging down, but gained a batch of even stronger Sixth Firmament Empyreans!


    How daunting was this kind of strength?


    Several dozen black figures dashed over from all directions, virtually without dead angles.


    The powerful aura practically sealed off all of the space!


    An attack without dead angles!


    A hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Xin��s mouth.


    ��Dead! No matter how impressive his spatial law is, he��d definitely die without a doubt under this strike too!�� Xin said with a cold smile.


    He pondered about it. If he were Ye Yuan, under this kind of attack without the slightest blind spots, there would be no hope for survival.


    ��Immobilize!��


    One word emerging, time froze!


    Everything around came to a standstill!


    The several dozen incomparably berserk abyss monsters were instantly immobilized in midair.


    No matter how formidable his strength was, no matter how many the numbers, under Heavenly Dao True Word, it was to no avail too!


    Xin��s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in incredible shock. It was as if he had seen a ghost.


    Even Nineorigin��s pupils also shrunk, his eyes revealing a hint of astonishment.


    Although he knew that it was impossible for Manya to deceive him, he still did not quite dare to believe it.


    Heavenly Dao True Word, Time Freeze!


    This kind of thing, even he could not do it too!


    The noble Divine Race could not do it too!


    This mere Third Firmament Empyrean human actually accomplished it?


    But at this moment, he finally understood why Ye Yuan could bring Yue Mengli and escape!


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!��


    Ye Yuan shouted angrily, the divine dragon appearing once more!


    Upon trampling down, the Fifth Firmament Empyreans were immediately pulverized into a scattered mess of flesh and blood; not a single one survived.


    Sixth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters also scattered flying everywhere, all heavily injured!


    The combination of these two mighty dragon race innate divine abilities may be rated as invincible!


    If not for Ye Yuan��s realm being too low, killing these abyss monsters would be no different from killing chickens too.


    But even so, this foot going down, Sixth Firmament Empyreans sustained serious injuries!


    At this moment, everyone deeply felt Ye Yuan��s might!


    Even though there were many powerhouses here, there were quite a number of late-stage Empyrean Realm abyss monsters and also the Heavenly Emperor level Manya, there was even a supreme powerhouse like Nineorigin.


    But Ye Yuan this Third Firmament Empyrean still brought to them an indelible shock!


    Was it that abyss monsters were too weak?


    Of course not!


    It was just that Ye Yuan was too strong!


    However, Ye Yuan did not stop. Several dozen streaks of sword light instantly emerged, flying straight for those Sixth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Those abyss monsters fell to the ground with a loud bang, without the strength to battle anymore.


    The entire scene fell into dead silence once more.


    One exchange, several dozen Fifth Firmament Empyreans died, and Sixth Firmament Empyreans were seriously injured on the brink of death!


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed toward them. The tarnished black devil crystals were all sucked over by him.


    With his cultivation method revolving, streams of black energy poured into Ye Yuan��s body like smoke.


    ��This �� How is this possible? How can a puny human be so powerful?��


    ��Just what kind of existence in this human?!��


    ��Between this human and Divine Son, who do you guys think is stronger or weaker?��


    �� ��


    These abyss monsters could not refrain from thinking like this.


    Seemingly wanting to affirm what they were thinking, the tip of Ye Yuan��s sword raised up, pointing at Xin as he called in a clear voice, ��Divine Race��s Divine Son, is it? Don��t you guys praise yourselves to be the race chosen by gods? Do you dare to battle or not?!��


    Ye Yuan was covered in blood from head to toe. Carrying the momentum of his initial victory, he was unrivaled and domineering, giving Xin an extremely strong sense of oppression.


    Xin��s face fell, his gaze icy.


    A lowly human actually dared to provoke the mighty Divine Race!


    Truly reckless and blind.


    ��Humph! Ant-like thing, you, still don��t have the qualifications to challenge me!�� Xin said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and was full of scorn as he said, ��Is it no qualification, or is it that you don��t dare? Or is it that your might relies on these subordinates with profound cultivation realms?��


    His words were full of contempt and disdain.


    Xin��s expression changed, his eyes spewing fire.


    Nineorigin��s gaze flickered, and he opened his mouth and said, ��Xin, this boy is worthy of you taking action!��


    Xin frowned and said, ��Uncle Nineorigin, I, Xin, growing until today, have experienced thousands of major and minor battles, I��ve never made a move against an opponent weaker than me before! This brat is only a Third Firmament Empyrean. What qualification does he have to have me take action?��


    Nineorigin said, ��You��ve already witnessed his strength. You ask yourself. When at his realm, could you have done better than him?��


    Xin choked when he heard that. Clearly, Nineorigin��s words pricked his sore spot.


    Then he heard Nineorigin slowly saying, ��Furthermore, I feel that this boy hasn��t gone all out!��


    Xin��s face changed, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    Even after using Heavenly Dao True Word, he still had not used his full strength?


    Xin��s gaze flickered and he said, ��Fine! This divine son wants to see how much capability this brat has!��


    Done talking, Xin��s figure swayed and already arrived opposite of Ye Yuan.


    He looked at Ye Yuan using a gaze like looking at a dead person and said with a cold smile, ��Brat, this is you seeking death yourself. Don��t blame me! Bring forth your full strength. Otherwise, you won��t have the chance anymore!��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Whether you can make me bring out all of my strength or not will have to depend on your ability!��


    Xin laughed coldly, the aura on his entire body fluctuated, the shirt on his upper body directly blowing off.


    On the defined muscles, eight blue patterns swam indeterminately on his body, giving people a mysterious and profound feeling.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze shrunk, slightly revealing a look of surprise.


    ��Lowly human, I��ll let you understand how you die! What you humans cultivate is Divine Dao, while what our Divine Race cultivates is Heavenly Dao! We don��t need to comprehend Heavenly Emperor. As long as we inscribe Heavenly Dao on our bodies, we��ll be able to mobilize Heavenly Dao! This Divine Son is currently at the middle-stage Seven-mark Heavenly Dao Realm, which is also your middle-stage Empyrean Realm! With your strength, this divine son simply finds it beneath my dignity to take action!��


    Xin had a proud look as he continued, ��Do you think that your Heavenly Dao True Word is very formidable? Heh heh, I��m not afraid to tell you this. Each punch that we throw out, that��s a punch of Heavenly Dao! What does Heavenly Dao True Word count for?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin and said with a cold smile, ��Really so much crap! Talking so much, is it to show off your sense of superiority? Sense of superiority is beaten out using fists, not through words from your mouth!��


    Xin��s face fell, and he said with a cold yell, ��Courting death!��


    Swoosh!


    In a blink, Xin��s figure disappeared.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, all the hairs on his body standing on end.


    Having no time to think, he directly slammed a punch out.


    Bang!


    A terrifying air billow rippled out. Ye Yuan��s figure flew out backward.

 Chapter 2195 - Heavenly Dao Showdown!

    ��Lord Divine Son is mighty!��


    ��Ant-like human, in front of Lord Divine Son, you��ll crumble at the first blow!��


    ��Lord Divine Son is well-deserving of being the envoy of God, not to be blasphemed!��


    �� ��


    The abyss monsters were all incomparably excited, cheering joyfully.


    The powerful strength that Ye Yuan exhibited previously made each and every one of them somewhat doubt life.


    The Divine Race that they followed was the strongest race in this world.


    How could a mere ant-like human possibly be so strong?


    But now, Lord Divine Son used unparalleled formidable strength to prove the Divine Race��s might!


    Of course, they subconsciously neglected that Ye Yuan had just experienced a great battle.


    He faced several hundred Empyrean level abyss monsters by himself!


    ��Saw that? This is the might of the Divine Race! We are the race blessed by heaven!�� Xin looked down upon Ye Yuan from a great height, his gaze full of disdain.


    This formidable punch sent Ye Yuan��s innards into an upheaval.


    Crawling to his feet with difficulty, Ye Yuan spat a mouthful of blood foam and he grinned, ��A little interesting! This is the Divine Race? Since that��s the case, then you have a taste of my fist too!��


    ��Your fist? Huhu ���� Xin smiled disdainfully.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure swayed, arriving in front of Xin in an instant.


    A punch came out!


    Xin��s reaction was also extremely fast, a punch similarly slammed out!


    Bang!


    Horrifying air billows spread out. Xin��s body flew out akin to a cannonball, all the way until it bumped into the mountain nearby before he stabilized his figure.


    All of the cheerings abruptly stopped!


    Nineorigin��s pupils constricted, with a hint of solemness flashing across his eyes.


    From the start until now, his face finally revealed a solemn expression for the first time.


    It was only to see his gaze flicker. No idea what he was thinking about either.


    One punch returning a punch!


    Xin��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    This punch did not cause much harm to him, but Ye Yuan��s fist was odd!


    That punch just now seemed to be identical with his, similarly containing the lingering charm of Heavenly Dao.


    But how was this possible?


    A human��s ordinary punch actually contained Heavenly Dao concept?


    In fact, this kind of Heavenly Dao concept was even above his!


    It was as if Ye Yuan was the true Heavenly Dao!


    While he was merely making use of Heavenly Dao; that was all.


    When the fake met the real, the level was immediately established!


    ��You �� How can you possibly mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao? This isn��t possible!�� Xin shouted angrily.


    ��This is my Heavenly Dao, not your Heavenly Dao!�� Ye Yuan grinned, saying something that was ambiguous.


    This was not the power of Heavenspan World��s Heavenly Dao. This was the punch where Ye Yuan fused essence, energy, and spirit!


    Essence, energy, and spirit fusing into one, was also the energy source of his chaos world.


    In other words, this was his Heavenly Dao!


    Xin��s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Your Heavenly Dao? Shameless boasting! I don��t care about your whatever Heavenly Dao. In front of power, everything is in vain!��


    Done talking, Xin suddenly erupted. A punch of Heavenly Dao flew over toward Ye Yuan��s figure like a wild tempest.


    His movement technique traversed through the void, swift to the extreme. He was actually almost on par with Ye Yuan��s spatial law!


    The two people came and went, traversing through the void, their speed swift to the extreme.


    Even those Seventh and Eighth Firmament Empyrean abyss monsters actually could not see the two people��s fight clearly.


    Ye Yuan also had no choice but to acknowledge the strength of the Divine Race��s talent.


    Xin clearly did not understand spatial law, but he could borrow the power of Heavenly Dao and complete space traversing.


    But even though Ye Yuan��s Heavenly Dao was weak, it was a complete Heavenly Dao!


    The power of his essence, energy, and spirit fusing into one made up for the difference in realm.


    The two people were evenly matched.


    In a few breaths, the two people had clashed no idea how many punches.


    The two people, each punch had the might of Heavenly Dao, fighting until the entire sundered boundary started trembling.


    The expression on Nineorigin��s face became more and more solemn. Toward the end, killing intent even appeared.


    He did not think that this human who suddenly arrived actually had such formidable strength.


    Divine Race matching up against the human race, they had never been defeated before in the same realm!


    They were the race blessed by heaven, naturally powerful!


    Their combat power was unparalleled under the heavens!


    The reason why humans were powerful was that their propagation ability was too strong, giving birth to countless experts, and not that they were individually powerful.


    But now, this human before his eyes actually fought to a draw with Divine Son with an unstable cultivation realm of Third Firmament Empyrean!


    Furthermore, it was even under the circumstances of being heavily injured!


    If this human grew up, he might become the greatest unforeseen accident to the Divine Race��s grand plan.


    This boy must be eliminated!


    Just as he was thinking, a streak of golden light suddenly flashed above the void.


    Rumble!


    It was only to hear a loud bang. A figure fell down like a cannonball, being slammed underneath the ground.


    Ye Yuan was covered in blood all over, akin to a fiend god, standing proudly in the sky!


    All the way until just now, Ye Yuan was still holding back.


    He mobilized the power of Divine Stele Injecting Spirit and finally overpowered Xin a notch in terms of strength.


    Those abyss monsters, including a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse like Manya, all looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    In the same rank, abyss monsters crushed humans!


    In the same rank, the Divine Beast crushed abyss monsters!


    Abyss monsters followed the Divine Beast not only because they represented Heavenly Fiendgod, but because they were strong.


    But now, the existence that they viewed as undefeatable in their eyes was actually defeated?


    ��Freaking hell �� Is this emperor��s eyesight failing? Lord Divine Son was actually defeated?�� Manya had an expression like he had seen a ghost as he exclaimed.


    ��How is this possible? How can the Divine Race possibly lose?��


    ��A human actually surpassed the Divine Race? How can this sort of ridiculous thing possibly happen?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s combat strength completely subverted their understanding.


    The heaven-defying Divine Race actually lost to the lowly human race!


    This sort of thing, they found it hard to accept in terms of feelings!


    Bang!


    Right at this time, a figure rushed up to the sky from underground.


    Xin had a savage look, fire burning in his eyes, practically going to melt Ye Yuan.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was just a lowly ant.


    This ant did not even have the qualifications to make him take action.


    But now, this lowly ant actually tramped the incomparably proud Divine Son underfoot!


    Someone that you looked down on, that you viewed as an ant, a person that you viewed as dust, defeated you!


    What kind of sense of humiliation could be stronger than this?


    ��Damn human, to be able to force this Divine Son to this step, you can be sufficiently proud! Now, you can go to hell!��


    Xin��s two eyes were blood-red, the aura on his body surging to the sky.


    The blue Dao marks on his body turned into strands of fine thread, wrapping around him.


    An aura of Heavenly Dao suddenly descended.


    It was as if Xin was Heavenly Dao!


    Heaven and earth changed colors, the firmament trembled!


    ��This move is the strongest move that this Divine Son comprehended after experiencing 3000 over major and minor battles! To be able to die under this move, you can be sufficiently proud!�� Xin looked at Ye Yuan, as if looking at a dead person.


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin, his eyes calm.


    He slowly took out the bone sword, essence, energy, and spirit, three kinds of power, turned into three auras, wandering around him.


    ��I, Ye Yuan, don��t need to borrow the power of Heavenly Dao.��


    ��I, Ye Yuan, am Heavenly Dao!��

 Chapter 2196 - Why Would I Fear a Fight!

    Ye Yuan held the bone sword in his hand. Amidst the fierce winds, he walked over slowly under the pressure of Heavenly Dao.


    No matter how the wind and rain howled, it could not shake him in the slightest.


    However, Ye Yuan��s commotion was far from as powerful as Xin��s.


    It looked like it could be extinguished at any time.


    ��Ignorant fool! How can Heavenly Dao be what you can imagine?��


    Firmament with One Thought!


    Xin threw a punch out. It was as if heaven and earth fell down, crushing the world.


    The power of this punch was powerful to the extreme.


    Under this punch, those abyss monsters actually trembled and knelt down.


    ��This is the true power of the Divine Race! Under this punch, everything will turn into nothingness! How can a mere human possibly understand it!�� Manya said agitatedly.


    Xin��s punch made them find the confidence that they lost anew.


    They firmly believed that Ye Yuan would definitely turn to ashes under this punch!


    Facing this earth-shattering punch, Ye Yuan��s face was without any ripple like an ancient well.


    At this time, his essence, energy, and spirit rose to the peak and fused into one.


    All of the power was poured entirely onto the bone sword.


    Chaos Essence One Breath Sword!


    Carrying the method to contract his strength, Ye Yuan��s sword attacked fiercely.


    This was his pinnacle sword!


    The sword of Great Dao!


    In front of this sword, what did the trace of Heavenly Dao power that Xin borrowed count for?


    Bang!


    Bang!


    The void trembled.


    The terrifying power disappeared without a trace instantly.


    But Ye Yuan and Xin two people were completely unscathed.


    Because at this time, a figure stood between the two.


    That person was precisely Nineorigin!


    Just as the two people��s astonishing strikes were about to collide, Nineorigin interjected domineeringly.


    With his formidable strength, he forcefully obliterated the two people��s all-out attack completely!


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Lord Divine Son was clearly about to kill that human right away, so why did Lord Nineorigin make a move?��


    ��Yeah! Why would Lord Nineorigin make a move to save a human?��


    ��If not for Lord Nineorigin taking action, that human would have been dead for sure!��


    �� ��


    The group of abyss monsters were full of puzzlement, not understanding why Nineorigin would cut in rudely at such a critical moment.


    Xin��s pupils also shrunk and he said with a frown, ��Uncle Nineorigin, what have you done?��


    Nineorigin did not answer Xin, but he looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��I admit defeat on Divine Son��s behalf.��


    Xin��s entire body trembled and he said, ��Uncle Nineorigin, what did you say? I lost?��


    Nineorigin��s one sentence directly caused an uproar.


    Those abyss monsters were all incomparably shocked. All of them were thinking that Nineorigin was making a joke.


    Nineorigin nodded and said, ��Just now, if I didn��t make a move, you��ll probably not be able to return to the abyss anymore. He fused essence, energy, and spirit three paths into one. It isn��t one plus one plus one equals to three so simple! Although your Firmament with One Thought is strong, compared to this move of his, the disparity isn��t small!��


    Actually, Nineorigin already said it very tactfully in consideration of Xin��s face.


    Not that the disparity was not small, but that it was too far apart!


    If he did not make a move, Xin would have died beyond a doubt.


    This kind of strength was not what disparity could describe anymore.


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath, even the Yue Mengli who was watching the battle at one side also turned pale.


    For so many years, she desperately chased after Ye Yuan��s footsteps.


    But in the end, Ye Yuan��s was already powerful to such an extent!


    How could she not know the might of Divine Son?


    That kind of Heavenly Dao might, even if a Sixth Firmament Empyrean human came, they might not be able to block it too.


    That was a truly astonishing strike!


    But someone as strong as Divine Son was still not Ye Yuan��s match.


    ��Impossible! I am the exalted Divine Race��s Divine Son! How can I lose to a lowly human?! Uncle Nineorigin, you move aside! I��m going to fight him to the death!�� Xin roared at Nineorigin.


    As the Divine Race��s Divine Son, how proud was Xin?


    Not even fighting, how could he possibly believe that he lost to Ye Yuan?


    Although he knew that it was impossible for Nineorigin to bluff him, he was still not willing to believe.


    Even though Nineorigin making a move saved his life, it ruined his overflowing pride.


    This felt even worse than death to him.


    Nineorigin frowned and said, ��Divine Son, the things shouldered on your body are too heavy. How can you act without due consideration? Our Divine Race has endured for hundreds of millions of years, only for the sake of recovering our former glory, have you forgotten?��


    Xin��s entire body trembled, his five fingers clenching tightly, making his fist creak from clenching.


    ��I �� I understand!�� Xin��s words carried strong unwillingness.


    Nineorigin looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��I didn��t expect that there��s actually a genius like you in the human race! Looks like I underestimated the human race too much. Your lowly race can propagate without limit. They can naturally also give birth to some peculiar existences. You��re likely the most talented human in this epoch!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��So, are you going to kill me and extinguish the hope of the human race?��


    Nineorigin shook his head and said, ��There��s naturally no need to kill you! We need the power of the Divine Daughter. But I can suppress you forever! After we suppress the Heavenspan World, you can still reunite with Divine Daughter!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was slightly cold. Sword pointing at Nineorigin, he said with a sneer, ��Is that so? I said it before. Want to bring Li-er away? Step over my dead body!��


    Nineorigin laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Forget that you��re currently already an arrow at the end of its flight; even at your peak, are you my match? You might not know my identity yet. I��m one of the Divine Race��s nine Profound Lineage��s elders! Calculating according to cultivation realm, I should be equivalent to your Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor. However, your Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperors �� huhu.��


    Ninth Firmament chuckled, clearly, he was very disdainful of the strength of Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    Yue Mengli��s expression changed, her face revealing a look of despair.


    She originally did not know the division of Nineorigin��s realm. But hearing him say so, she knew that Ye Yuan had no hope at all!


    Toward Nineorigin��s pride, Ye Yuan did not doubt it.


    Thinking of Xin��s strength, his realm was about equivalent to a Fourth Firmament Empyrean.


    But Xin��s strength was sufficient to instantly kill Fourth Firmament Empyreans!


    The Divine Race was this strong.


    Ye Yuan��s bone sword swung, walking over toward Nineorigin step by step. He said with a cold smile, ��Really have a lot of crap! So what if you��re an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor? So what if you��re one of the Profound Lineage��s nine elders? Even if you��re that Dao Ancestor in the heavens, why should I, Ye Yuan, fear a fight?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was silent like cicadas in winter.


    This fellow��s pride was really greater than even heaven!


    Nineorigin��s two eyes narrowed, the imposing aura on his body gradually releasing.


    The horrifying power made everyone present feel suffocated!


    Even when separated from extremely far away, those abyss monsters were being pressured until they lay in a prostrating posture on the ground, unable to even move a muscle.


    Let alone the Ye Yuan in front of Nineorigin?


    Ye Yuan walked toward Nineorigin step by step. Each step that he took was extremely difficult.


    Just like a spring that was compressed to the extreme, he was unable to take a step further anymore.


    Nineorigin looked at Ye Yuan and said with a light smile, ��Under my pressure, you can still keep standing, you��re already very good! It��s just a shame that �� mn?��


    Nineorigin��s expression changed, his voice abruptly cutting off.


    Because he discovered that Ye Yuan was advancing again!


    Ye Yuan��s eyes became colder and colder.


    Countless blue lines poured out of Ye Yuan��s body!


    Those were Dao marks!

 Chapter 2197 - A Battle That Wagers Everything!

    Ye Yuan��s eyes already completely became a grayish-white color.


    His entire person seemed to have turned into an ice sculpture, exuding an icy-cold aura from head to toe.


    Not that he cultivated an ice-attribute cultivation method, but because his entire person became emotionless.


    While the distance between him and Nineorigin also became closer and closer!


    Nineorigin discovered to his surprise that his pressure was actually unable to stop Ye Yuan in the slightest anymore.


    ��Truly surprises me! A human Empyrean Realm martial artist can actually mobilize Dao marks! Young man, you really made me view the human race in a different light!�� Nineorigin was not frightened and let out a praise instead.


    While surprise was surprise, he did not feel much danger from Ye Yuan.


    With Ye Yuan��s realm, no matter how heaven-defying he was, it was also impossible to cause any harm to him.


    About this point, he could be certain of it!


    An Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor being placed in the entire Heavenspan World, it was also an absolute powerhouse, a paramount existence.


    They could look down on everything!


    Ye Yuan walked over step by step, all the way until he walked to 100 feet in front of Nineorigin before his figure halted.


    Nineorigin smiled lightly and said, ��Young man, very good! To have the courage to stand before me, you��re already stronger than the vast majority of the people in this world!��


    What kind of powerful existence was Nineorigin?


    Being his opponent required courage!


    This was not making a joke, but that after the difference in strength reached a certain degree, an enormous pressure formed naturally.


    Forget about Ye Yuan who was only a Third Firmament Empyrean, making a human Third Firmament Empyrean stand 100 feet in front of a Ninth Firmament Empyrean, he would probably be scared until he wet his pants too!


    Ye Yuan��s feet stopped moving forward, and he opened his mouth and said coldly, ��What will make you view in a different light is still at the back!��


    A hint of strange smile showed at the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Following that, the two figures disappeared into thin air just like that!


    Xin��s pupils constricted. Immediately, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a mocking smile.


    ��To actually take Uncle Nineorigin into the small world, truly a blind and reckless fool!�� Xin said with a cold smile.


    Those abyss monsters all burst into an uproar.


    ��This boy wouldn��t have been scared silly, right?��


    ��If Lord Nineorigin flicks a finger, his small world would probably shatter, right?��


    ��A small world is the most fragile. Others are afraid of the opponent finding the small world. This guy actually still took the initiative to take Lord Nineorigin inside!��


    ��If it was somebody else, then forget it, but that��s Lord Nineorigin!��


    �� ��


    Even Yue Mengli was very puzzled too, worry written all over her face.


    Small worlds were where the foundation of human martial artists lied, it was the source of their strength.


    At the same time, small worlds were also the most fragile place.


    Each human martial artist would guard the entrance to the small world tightly, fearful of the opponent barging in.


    If they were weak, it was still alright. Powerful existences could destroy the small world in an instant.


    Even if they were not strong, battling in a small world, the damage to the small world was also permanent.


    Killing 1000 of the enemy, losing 800 of your own!


    Just like back then, a bunch of Empyreans barged into Immortal Grove World. Even if they only slightly engaged in a battle, it caused indelible harm to the Immortal Grove World.


    If not for Ye Yuan overcoming the raging tides in the end, the Immortal Grove World would have long turned to ashes.


    Ye Yuan took an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor Divine Race member in with Third Firmament Empyrean boundary, wasn��t this looking for abuse?


    Nineorigin sized Ye Yuan up rather interestedly and said with a light smile, ��This is your final trump card? Your small world can��t withstand my one strike at all! This trump card of yours makes me very disappointed!��


    Nineorigin��s thoughts were the same as the rest, not only did this final trump card of Ye Yuan did not have the slightest effect, it appeared extremely foolish instead.


    Perhaps Ye Yuan was very confident in his small world, but what kind of person dared to let an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor in?


    Let alone that he, Nineorigin, was not an ordinary Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    For him to be able to become one of the nine elders, the might of his strength was far stronger than even same rank Divine Race members.


    What did an ordinary Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor count for?


    ��Oh? Is that so?��


    Ye Yuan who had gray eyes said those words coldly, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    A faint smile was still hanging on Nineorigin��s face, indifferent toward Ye Yuan��s action.


    But in the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly vanished. What replaced it was incomparably seriousness.


    A feeling of incredible danger welled up in his heart!


    That was the power of Great Dao!


    Dao mark!


    No time to think too much, Nineorigin urged all of the Great Dao power in his power and met with Ye Yuan��s punch.


    Bang!


    The entire chaos world started trembling. Nineorigin was smashed flying out backward, his divine sea experiencing an upheaval.


    Then he used an extremely shocked gaze to stare fixedly at Ye Yuan.


    ��What about now?�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Nineorigin��s two eyes narrowed, only then, started sizing the chaos world up seriously.


    It was fine if he did not size it up, but when he did, his heart shook wildly!


    The chaos world was totally different from the worlds in his understanding!


    Incomparably thick aura of Great Dao, incomparably thick chaos divine essence, plus Dao marks that filled the sky.


    Everything added up made him think that he was situated in the prehistoric Heavenspan World!


    For ordinary human Empyreans, small worlds had long already formed and could accommodate living things, absorb the power of faith, and nurture treasures.


    But Ye Yuan��s small world seemed to have only just formed!


    Everything and everything was still in the midst of inoculation.


    Although this world was still in the budding stage, the power of Heavenly Dao contained inside was actually almost on par with him, this Divine Race ninth elder!


    Ye Yuan could completely maneuver the power of Heavenly Dao inside this world to face the enemy.


    Nineorigin stared hard at Ye Yuan and said in shock, ��This place is your small world? How can a small world be like this? What kind of cultivation method are you cultivating?!��


    The gray-eyed Ye Yuan said coldly, ��That doesn��t need you to worry about! Prepare to die!��


    Nineorigin��s pupils constricted when he heard that and he said with a cold snort, ��You��re also looking down on my Divine Race too much! Your small world indeed exceeded my expectations. But it �� is still too weak! After this battle, your small world �� will collapse! And you will become a cripple!��


    The gray-eyed Ye Yuan said coldly, ��So what?��


    While talking, he threw another punch out.


    Nineorigin met the attack!


    Each of the two people��s punches carried an incomparably thick aura of Great Dao.


    This battle was truly apocalyptic!


    Each time the two people��s fists clashed, it would shake the chaos world until it was in an upheaval.


    Space shattered, divine seas rolled.


    Actually, each of Nineorigin��s attacks would cause irreversible harm to Ye Yuan.


    But he did not care at all.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    �� ��


    Time slowly trickled by, no idea how long had passed either, Nineorigin still did not come out.


    At this time, those abyss monsters finally realized that something was wrong.


    ��What��s going on? Could it be that �� Lord Nineorigin is actually in a fierce battle with that boy?��


    ��How can this be possible? A mere Empyrean Realm��s small world should not be able to withstand one-ten-thousandth of Lord Nineorigin��s power at all!��


    ��But what on earth are these two people doing in the small world? They wouldn��t be chatting, right?��


    �� ��


    Everyone��s heart itched like a cat wanting to scratch its body. They really wanted to see the situation inside the chaos world.


    But only Ye Yuan could open up the entrance of the chaos world.


    If he did not open it, others could not go in at all!

 Chapter 2198 - Pride of Heavenly Dao!

    Bang!


    With the horrifying clash, the two people were each sent flying out.


    Space shattered, chaos roiled!


    Nineorigin had a head of disheveled hair, his body already stained full of bloodstains, and no longer had his elegance and naturalness at the beginning.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��You��re mad! Keep on fighting like this, your small world will be completely ruined!��


    While that might be the case, Nineorigin was unbelievably shocked in his heart.


    Inside this small world, his strength was being suppressed endlessly, while Ye Yuan��s strength was being magnified limitlessly.


    In the chaos world, he could not mobilize any heaven and earth spiritual energy at all.


    What he could rely on was only his strength!


    He felt like he got on a lone island. There was not the slightest bit of help at all.


    While what Ye Yuan possessed was the entire world!


    The small worlds of humans were all Heavenspan World��s Heavenly Dao.


    Normally, Nineorigin would not have a feeling of having his hands and feet bound up when inside them.


    But Ye Yuan��s chaos world was completely different from ordinary worlds.


    At this time, the chaos world was already riddled full of holes, virtually on the verge of collapsing already.


    Ye Yuan��s clothes were in rags from top to bottom, bloodstains all over, looking alarming at the sight.


    But his face was still cold as if he could not feel the least bit of pain.


    In the chaos world, he could indeed control everything, even control time and space.


    However, Nineorigin was too powerful!


    The Dao marks on his body were basically a sharp weapon that could shatter everything.


    From this point of view, the Divine Race was indeed a race that was favored by heaven.


    Even if he could only rely on himself, the disparity between Ye Yuan and him was still enormous.


    ��So what? Under Heavenly Dao, all are ants! Being unbridled in front of me, you �� deserve to die!�� The gray-eyed Ye Yuan did not have the slightest emotion when speaking.


    In front of him, the powerful Nineorigin actually became an ant-like figure.


    Nineorigin��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Young man, you��re too condescending! Today, I��ll let you take a look at the might of the Divine Race!��


    All of a sudden, Nineorigin��s aura erupted. The terrifying power made the entire chaos world start to tremble.


    His whole body was swathed in Dao marks. An apocalyptic aura spread out.


    The aura of Divine Son Xin was not worth mentioning at all compared to Nineorigin.


    This is true power, unrivaled might!


    Even under the powerful suppression of the chaos world, this powerful force still shows signs of bursting through the firmament.


    ��Divine Race? In front of me, Ye Yuan, you all are merely a bunch of ants!��


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly, both hands drawing a circle. A Tai Chi diagram condensed in front of him.


    Nineorigin��s pupils shrunk. A pressure akin to beholding a great mountain hit from head-on.


    His heart shook wildly, secretly sighing in relief at how lucky he was!


    Ye Yuan��s realm was too low. If Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm could reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm, killing Nineorigin would be akin to killing a dog in this world!


    At this time, Nineorigin actually had some regret, regretting that he was overly careless.


    If not for him underestimating the enemy too much, being brought into the chaos world by Ye Yuan, he would also not be in such a difficult position.


    It was just that, who could have thought that a mere Empyrean Realm actually had such a powerful small world?


    At this very moment, Nineorigin��s despise toward Ye Yuan had long already been swept clean.


    What replaced it was incomparably solemness.


    He did not know how strong Ye Yuan��s move was and also did not know whether he could block it or not.


    This strike would determine life and death!


    It was not up to him to think too much either. Nineorigin practically used all of his strength.


    All the strength that he could muster in his body was completely poured into executing this move.


    Of course, he could also feel that Ye Yuan used all his strength to mobilize the entire world��s power too.


    This was the clash between Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Dao!


    ��Cleansing the World!��


    ��Great Dao is Unparalleled!��


    Bang!


    Two apocalyptic attacks instantly collided together.


    The horrifying energy undulation formed a terrifying black energy vortex, akin to a black hole.


    Exploding sounds were everywhere in the entire chaos world.


    It was as if it was the end of the world.


    The two people were directly drawn into the black hole, life and death being unknown.


    No idea how long had passed either. Everything returned to tranquility. The entire chaos world fell into dead silence.


    �� ��


    ��Already been three days and nights. Why hasn��t Lord Nineorigin come out?��


    ��Lord Nineorigin wouldn��t really have become interested and is chatting with that kid, right?��


    ��Got to say, that boy is still quite capable. Perhaps he can win Lord Nineorigin��s recognition!��


    �� ��


    In the sundered boundary, the abyss monsters were discussing animatedly. But Yue Mengli��s fingers gripped tighter and tighter.


    Her fingernails were already sinking into her flesh, but she was still oblivious to this.


    Three days and nights already passed in a twinkle. The two people still did not have movements inside Ye Yuan��s small world.


    No one knew what was happening inside either!


    But the longer it got, the more worried Yue Mengli was of Ye Yuan��s safety.


    His opponent was one of the most fearsome existences in this world!


    Xin��s brows also furrowed tighter and tighter, Uncle Nineorigin would not really have gone in to chat with Ye Yuan, right?


    Saying such things, ghosts would not believe it too.


    But could the mere Empyrean Realm Ye Yuan really battle with Uncle Nineorigin for three days and night?


    Xin felt that it was extremely preposterous!


    Forget about Ye Yuan, even if an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor was here, it was also impossible to last past half a day from under Uncle Nineorigin��s hands!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan��s small world really had some exceptional aspects?


    Yes, it must be like that!


    That punk used a trick and trapped Uncle Nineorigin in the small world.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, the void trembled, a figure burst out.


    Everyone looked toward the arrival with sidelong glances.


    This person did not have an intact spot from head to toe, his entire person like he was hauled out of a pool of blood, looking incomparably sinister and terrifying.


    Blood dripped from his body like water droplets.


    His aura was also extremely chaotic. He only had the strength of Empyrean Realm.


    ��U-Uncle Nineorigin?�� Xin shouted with uncertainty.


    ��It��s me!�� The blood-man used an extremely parched voice to answer.


    But his gaze was locked above the void firmly, without even blinking.


    It was as if there was a primitive fierce beast there.


    This blood-covered man was precisely Nineorigin!


    The current Nineorigin was actually forcefully beaten down a major realm!


    Xin opened his mouth wide and simply did not dare to believe his own eyes.


    Was this blood-man before his eyes that was virtually about to die really his Uncle Nineorigin?


    Uncle Nineorigin was one of the Profound Lineage��s nine elders!


    What kind of astonishing powerhouse was that? That was a powerhouse who made myriad worlds tremble! That was a powerhouse who made myriad races bow in worship!


    Now, he actually became like this?


    While his opponent was merely just a Third Firmament Empyrean!


    Xin even somewhat doubted life.


    Murmur!


    Below, all of the abyss monsters directly broke out into a commotion.


    They used extremely shocked eyes to look at Nineorigin, their gazes full of incredulity.


    ��This �� How is this possible? What in the world happened inside that small world?��


    ��That��s Lord Nineorigin! Lord Nineorigin who is ever-victorious! Who can tell me what on earth happened?��


    ��Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Lord Nineorigin is the god in my heart! How can he possibly be beaten until like this?��


    �� ��


    The group of abyss monsters was doubting this.


    No one could have thought that a one-sided battle actually developed to this conclusion in the end.

 Chapter 2199 - Wait for You to Fetch Me Home!

    However, the fact was like that!


    The Lord Nineorigin who was formidable like a god sustained serious injuries, his realm falling greatly!


    ��U-Uncle Nineorigin, what in the world happened? Why did you �� become like this?��


    When Xin was talking, he felt somewhat parched.


    The shock that this scene brought to him was too strong!


    ��Hahaha ����


    Uncle Nineorigin suddenly let out a burst of wild laughter and said, ��Worth it! Crippling this boy, no matter how heavy the injuries I sustain, it��s also worth it! Xin, running into this boy here is our Divine Race��s fortune. If we allow him to grow up, our Divine Race will likely suffer a disastrous calamity!��


    Xin��s pupils constricted, his eyes full of shock.


    Who Nineorigin was talking about was not an individual, but the entire Divine Race!


    For the Divine Race to dare come into being, they have naturally already readied themselves perfectly.


    But all these would change because of one person?


    Wasn��t Nineorigin��s appraisal of this boy too high?


    Suddenly, his expression changed. The corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a bitter smile.


    Nineorigin already became like this; could this still not explain the issue?


    Nineorigin was one of the nine Profound Lineage��s elders, all who could sit in this position were people who had experienced many battles and crushed their peers.


    But such a powerful Ninth Elder was actually hurt so badly.


    How in the world did this Ye Yuan do it?


    No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Xin also understood that Ye Yuan��s talent was indeed a notch above his.


    But he never could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually monstrous to such a degree!


    ��Nineorigin, what did you do to Big Brother Yuan? Where �� Where is he?�� Yue Mengli glared at Nineorigin and said with a worried look.


    Nineorigin did not look at her, staring hard at a certain area in the void as he said in a cold voice, ��Apologies, Divine Daughter. Your Dao Spirit Physique is indeed the strongest divine physique in this world! But today, this boy must die!��


    Yue Mengli��s pretty face turned pale, all the blood fading away instantly.


    Nineorigin��s meaning was very clear, Ye Yuan was currently not dead yet.


    But he had to die!


    Right at this moment, a figure fell out of the void.


    It was precisely Ye Yuan!


    The current Ye Yuan was no better than Nineorigin too. There was not an unscathed spot from top to bottom.


    Furthermore, he was already unconscious, his entire person falling powerlessly, the speed getting faster and faster.


    Swoosh!


    Virtually without thinking, Yue Mengli rushed over akin to an arrow that left the string.


    ��Stop her!��


    Nineorigin yelled. Manya did not have the slightest hesitation, leaping up and directly stopping Yue Mengli.


    How powerful was Manya? Yue Mengli was directly restrained by him.


    At the same time, Nineorigin gathered all the strength in his body without the slightest hesitation. He then smacked a palm toward Ye Yuan!


    ��Big Brother Yuan!�� Yue Mengli��s scream reverberated throughout the sundered boundary.


    But Nineorigin did not hesitate in the slightest at all.


    This palm was a certain kill!


    At this very moment, there was already no one that could save Ye Yuan.


    ��Hahaha �� Die!��


    Just as this palm was about to land on Ye Yuan��s body, golden light suddenly radiated from Ye Yuan��s body!


    ��Roar!��


    A giant golden dragon leaped into the sky from Ye Yuan��s body, letting out an astonishing furious roar.


    This roar made the entire sundered boundary tremble.


    Space shuddered, one fine crack after another fissuring.


    These fissured fine cracks did not show signs of healing but fissured larger and larger instead.


    An enormous dragon claw trampled down on Nineorigin��s head.


    Nineorigin��s expression changed wildly, but currently, his move was already ending and he did not have his power at this peak. It was already too late to want to run.


    ��Lord Nineorigin!��


    At the critical moment, Manya roared madly, instantly diving beneath the dragon claw and knocking Nineorigin flying.


    Bang!


    The giant dragon trampled down, debris flying everywhere, space collapsing.


    The powerful Manya turned to ashes under this foot and did not even emit a miserable scream.


    Nineorigin rolled several hundred times on the ground before stabilizing his figure.


    This change was too intense. Everyone did not react to it.


    Nineorigin��s bloodstained face was full of terror at this time.


    Just now, if not for Manya sacrificing himself and knocking him away, the one who died would be him!


    He never dreamed that in the end, Ye Yuan actually still had the spirit of a true dragon protecting him!


    Let alone did he imagine that he, one of the exalted Profound Lineage��s nine elders, actually nearly died here!


    Nineorigin��s back was already drenched in cold sweat.


    But toward Manya��s death, his eyes did not reveal any sorrowful expression.


    In his eyes, abyss monsters were a bunch of slaves.


    Dying for him, that was Manya��s honor.


    Suddenly, he trembled all over, his entire person turning stiff there, not daring to even move.


    The giant golden dragon��s pair of dragon eyes were currently looking down at him from a great height.


    For a moment, Nineorigin��s hair stood on end, not daring to even breathe.


    He was afraid that once he breathed, the giant golden dragon would give him another stomp.


    After one breath, the dragon tail circled around, protecting Ye Yuan in the middle, and flew out of the Blackflame Cave with a whoosh.


    Nineorigin��s bottom plopped onto the ground, panting heavily for air, feeling the joy of having survived a disaster.


    Nineorigin secretly sighed in relief that luckily, this spirit of a true dragon only had the power of one strike. Otherwise �� he would be doomed today!


    Rumble!


    The powerful spirit of the true dragon passed through the Blackflame Cave��s entrance, making the originally already unstable cave entrance completely collapse.


    The Blackflame Cave��s entrance disappeared just like that.


    Space was shattering, caving in, fissures getting larger and larger.


    This sudden turn of events happened too suddenly. Everyone did not react in time.


    Yue Mengli wanted to escape, but it was already too late.


    However, being able to see Ye Yuan escape, she was already very comforted in her heart.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, I��ll live on well and wait for you to fetch me home!�� Yue Mengli said smilingly with tears flowing.


    At this time, Nineorigin appeared beside Yue Mengli and said with a bad timing, ��His inner-world already completely crumbled, fleshy body being heavily injured. His cultivation has already been wiped out in a day! Even if he doesn��t die, he��ll also be a cripple in the future! Divine Daughter, you��re my Divine Race��s member from birth, this world��s paramount existence! In the future, when we return to the Heavenspan World anew and beat down the human, demon, and fiend races and descend upon the world like a sovereign, that will be your home to return to.��


    Yue Mengli gave him a glance and smiled disdainfully.


    To others, their small world collapsing and cultivating being lost might mean that their life was over.


    But Yue Mengli firmly believed that Ye Yuan still had a day where he would rise up.


    No matter how arduous this path was, Ye Yuan would not give up too!


    If talking about who understood Ye Yuan best in this world, that was her, Yue Mengli!


    Of course, she was completely disdainful to explain to Nineorigin.


    ��Come on!��


    At this time, Yue Mengli was no longer melodramatic. Instead, she walked toward the abyss calmly.


    Nineorigin was taken back, but since Yue Mengli was sensible, he naturally would not say anything either, slowly following after.


    Before leaving, he gave Xin a look, Xin understood and nodded.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, a terrifying force was sent out. Mosius was directly blasted into residue by Xin.


    Yue Mengli��s pretty face turned cold, and she said in alarm and anger, ��You!��


    Xin said coolly, ��Living off people while secretly helping others, he deserves to die!��


    Done talking, Xin left with his hands behind his back.


    The remaining abyss monster army also headed over toward the abyss one after another.


    The sundered boundary crumbled apart continuously, fragmenting non-stop, finally turning into a horrifying spatial tempest.


    The spatial passageway that the Divine Race racked their brains to form was smashed to pieces just like that.


    Everything returned to tranquility!

 Chapter 2200 - Chopping Firewood

    The wind howled and the water turned cold; the brave warriors will never return!


    The news about Ye Yuan rushing into Blackflame alone in order to rescue his beloved spread like wildfire.


    A monster like Ye Yuan naturally aroused the attention of the various major forces that entered the Blackflame Cave. Hence, they inquired about Ye Yuan��s origins one after another.


    There were no walls without a crack in this world. Ye Yuan had long already stated his identity when he entered Fallen Maple Bodhidharma. It naturally could not be hidden.


    Only at this time did everyone suddenly startle awake. It turned out that this was the Second Sage who gave rise to much discussion a few years ago!


    Beyond the shock, everyone was also endlessly sympathetic.


    Such an exceptional talent actually fell in the Blackflame Cave just like that. It was truly lamentable!


    The Blackflame Cave completely collapsed. The cave entrance vanished. Space recovered to how it was initially. The Angry Nether River flowed without ceasing once more.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan most likely died inside.


    The only thing that was mysterious was that right as the passageway collapsed, a streak of golden light flashed by and disappeared.


    In the beginning, there were also people who guessed whether or not this golden light would be related to Ye Yuan.


    But along with the passage of time, no one saw Ye Yuan anymore. Everyone��s doubts also gradually evaporated into thin air.


    Because the Second Sage��s maidservant was still in Fallen Maple Bodhidharma.


    From then on, Ye Yuan never came to see Lu-er before.


    On Sunset Peak, Lu-er quietly cried as she said, ��Young Master, they all said that you died, but I don��t believe it! Even if I walk to the ends of the world, I must find you too.��


    In a blink, it was already three years.


    Over 100 thousand miles away from Cloudriver Country, there was a place called Jingning Mountain.


    The sun came up from the east mountain, the setting sun bypassing the top of the mountain, illuminating a peaceful little village.


    Inside the village, there was smoke curling up from each of the kitchen chimneys there, indicating people getting up at sunrise.


    Those living in the village were a bunch of mortals.


    A robust young man said with displeasure, ��Dumbo, go and chop all these firewood! Our Chen Village doesn��t raise idle people!��


    Standing opposite him was a young man wearing coarse cloth, his face without any complexion.


    Dumbo did not say anything, turned around and came beside the firewood pile, and started chopping firewood.


    Chop!


    Chop!


    Chop!


    One section after another of white oak lay beside Ye Yuan neatly, gradually stacking higher.


    The robust young man had an astonished look. Following that was gloominess all over his face.


    White oak burned easily and the temperature was high. It was an excellent fuel to burn.


    But it was extremely tough. The strongest hunter in the village also needed three to four swings before they could split it.


    Chopping firewood was actually strenuous work.


    A��Yong making him chop firewood was actually intentionally making things difficult for him.


    But this fellow actually split them with one swing. Furthermore, the cuts were extremely smooth. It was as if they had been sanded out before.


    Strange!


    It was weird!


    This kid obviously looked like he was half-dead, so how did he have so much strength?


    A girl ran over angrily and pulled Dumbo behind her, and shouted at the robust young man, ��A��Yong, you��re bullying A��Ning again!��


    When the robust young man saw the situation, he immediately burned with jealousy.


    A��Xiu was the prettiest girl in Chen Village, while he was the Chen Village��s most promising hunter!


    He and A��Xiu were childhood friends, both being young and innocent. They were an innocent and pure pair in everyone��s eyes.


    As they gradually grew up, A��Yong secretly fell in love with A��Xiu and viewed her as his exclusive slice of meat.


    At the same time, he was also very hardworking, striving to become the most outstanding hunter in the villages around.


    It all seemed like success would come when the conditions were ripe.


    Until this Dumbo appeared, everything was turned upside down!


    A��Xiu and Grandpa picked Dumbo up by the brookside.


    When he was just brought back, Dumbo was covered in blood all over and was already no different from a dead man.


    Everyone thought that he was dead for sure. But who knew that he actually forcefully hung in there with one breath and did not die.


    A��Xiu was kindhearted, taking the utmost care of Dumbo every day.


    Just two days ago, Dumbo could finally get down the bed and walk.


    But these three days, A��Xiu clearly drifted apart a lot from A��Yong. It was naturally because of Dumbo.


    Jealousy burned. so A��Yong liked to find trouble these few days.


    ��I didn��t bully him. There are no men in the village loafing around, since Dumbo is well, he naturally has to work,�� A��Yong said.


    A��Xiu said, ��His body isn��t fully recovered yet and is still very weak. He��s not suited to work! Also, he only lost his memories and isn��t a dumbo. You��re not allowed to call him dumbo!��


    The person A��Ning out of A��Xiu��s mouth and the Dumbo out of A��Yong��s mouth was naturally Ye Yuan who sustained serious injuries in the Blackflame battle.


    The current Ye Yuan did not remember anything. So A��Xiu��s grandfather named Ye Yuan as Chen Ning.


    Hence, A��Xiu normally called Ye Yuan as A��Ning.


    But the current Ye Yuan��s aura was feeble. His divine essence collapsed and dissipated, and he even lost his memories and was no different from a mortal.


    The battle with Nineorigin, the two people��s battle produced an extremely terrifying energy vortex.


    Nineorigin��s realm fell greatly, while Ye Yuan naturally sustained even heavier injuries.


    In that battle, Ye Yuan��s essence, energy, and spirit virtually collapsed all-round.


    There was still a thread away from death.


    A��Xiu turned around and pulled A��Ning as she said, ��A��Ning, let��s go!��


    But Ye Yuan did not leave and said with a smile, ��What A��Yong said is right. Since I��m a part of the village, I should do a little something for the village. These three years, A��Xiu and Grandpa, as well as everybody, took good care of me. That��s how I could survive. I feel bad sitting around doing nothing, waiting to die like that.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan walked back beside the firewood pile and continued chopping firewood.


    One swing.


    Another swing.


    The incomparably heavy ax was akin to weightless in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    A��Xiu also opened her mouth wide, looking at Ye Yuan with an astonished look.


    This fellow clearly only got down from the bed for a few days. So how did he have so much strength?


    In merely less than an hour, that hill-sized firewood, all were chopped completely, and they were piled neatly together.


    Ye Yuan finished chopping the firewood, turned his head, and discovered the two people with their mouths wide open, looking at him. He could not help being perplexed as he said, ��What��s wrong with you guys? Why are you using this sort of eyes to look at me?��


    A��Yong��s face fell, and he said, ��You, this fellow, wouldn��t have pretended for three years, right? Right, you must have intentionally feigned death to get close to A��Xiu!��


    A��Xiu shot him a fierce glare. When she and Grandpa saw Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan did not even have a breath, not an intact spot from head to toe.


    Could this sort of thing be faked?


    But she looked at Ye Yuan again and said, ��This is white oak. Even if Uncle Lie was here, chopping these firewood entirely will also take an entire day��s time. You finished chopping in an hour! Do you think we should be surprised or not?��


    Ye Yuan scratched his nose and said doubtfully, ��Is that so? But I feel that it��s very easy to chop. Just a light swing. I don��t need to use much strength either, and it will split apart.��


    The two people were speechless, using eyes like looking at a monster to look at him.


    How could they know that Ye Yuan��s physical body was the perfect seventh transformation golden body?


    If at his prime, flick a finger and the entire Jingning Mountain would be leveled to the ground.


    Even if he was seriously deficient in vital energy currently, chopping firewood was still a piece of cake.


    At this time, there was suddenly noise and excitement at the entrance of the village.


    A��Yong��s brows raised up and he said with pleasant surprise, ��Dad they all came back! Dad must have hunted many fine beasts going out this time. A��Xiu, let��s hurry over and take a look.��


    A��Xiu pulled Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��A��Ning, let��s go over and take a look too.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and was dragged to the village entrance.

 Chapter 2201 - Jadeheart Grass

    ��Dad, Uncle Jian, you guys are back?��


    A��Yong welcomed the hunting party with a proud look.


    His father, Chen Lie, the Chen Village��s patriarch, was a powerful hunter who was renowned far and wide.


    At this time, several powerful hunters returned. They were all carrying quite a number of games on them. It was naturally a fully-loaded return again.


    ��Haha, Yong-er, the luck this time was pretty good. I hunted a Snowjade Roebuck,�� Chen Lie said with a big laugh.


    At this time, the villagers all gathered over, each and every one of them exclaiming with admiration.


    ��Patriarch is really impressive! This Snowjade Roebuck��s strength virtually reached the peak of mortal beasts. It��s also just a step away from becoming a divine beast, yet it was actually killed by you!��


    ��With this, our Chen Village can have enough to eat and wear for half a year!��


    ��Following Patriarch Lie is truly our fortune!��


    �� ��


    Everyone had praises for him. Toward Chen Lie, they expressed admiration from the bottom of their hearts.


    In the Heavenspan World, mortals living outside of counties might suffer the attack of fierce beasts at any time.


    An entire village being destroyed was also a common occurrence.


    But Chen Village showed signs of moving toward prosperity under Patriarch Chen Lie��s leadership.


    At least, they did not need to live days where they hid themselves from place to place.


    Powerful strength was the foundation to live on.


    A��Xiu squeezed in front of the people. Her eyes lit up as she said with surprise, ��Uncle Lie, you��re really too impressive, to actually even defeat a Snowjade Roebuck. In my view, you might be able to break through to achieve Divine Dao someday! Don��t you think so, A��Ning?��


    Ye Yuan had a vacant look and nodded along.


    Chen Lie patted A��Xiu��s head and laughed as he said, ��Silly lass, how can the Divine Dao be so easy to achieve? I know my strength. Being able to reach the peak mortal realm is already the limit! However �� I have high hopes of Yong-er!��


    By the side, Chen Jian also smiled and said, ��Yes! Yong-er��s strength will be able to catch up to the few of us old fellows in a few years. He is our Chen Village��s future!��


    Hearing the praises of the elders, Chen Yong��s bashful flush carried a trace of smugness, giving Ye Yuan a glance that was somewhat demonstrating his strength.


    Ye Yuan had another blank look and was at a loss on what to do.


    Chen Lie directly threw the Snowjade Roebuck to his son and said heartily, ��Cut off a bit more and deliver it to your Grandpa Yan. A��Ning, this Snowjade Roebuck is a great tonic. It��s greatly beneficial to your injuries.��


    Chen Yong��s face turned black, immediately feeling annoyed.


    While Ye Yuan smiled humbly and said, ��Thank you, Uncle Lie.��


    Everyone was very concerned about Ye Yuan in this village.


    Although he lost his memories, he was very grateful to everyone.


    ��Oh, right, Uncle Yan, I found this when I entered the mountain this time.�� As he said, Chen Lie carefully took out a package from his bag.


    His actions were very careful, fearful of breaking the thing inside the bundle.


    Opening up the bundle, a surge of boundless spiritual energy spread out.


    Chen Yan��s expression changed and he cried out in surprise, ��Spirit medicine! Divine rank spirit medicine, Jadeheart Grass! Although it isn��t fully matured yet, the spiritual energy inside has a 10% chance of letting you to break through to the Deity Realm!��


    Chen Yan was an old man who enjoyed high prestige and commanded universal respect in the clan. His status was even above Chen Lie��s.


    Because he was a mortal realm alchemist!


    Hence, the moment he saw this spirit medicine, he recognized it.


    The moment Chen Lie heard this, he was wild ecstatic and said with joy, ��It��s indeed the case! That Snowjade Roebuck was guarding this thing and refused to leave no matter what. It was indeed for the sake of breaking through to achieve Divine Dao!��


    Chen Yan nodded and said, ��That��s right! If this Snowjade Roebuck swallowed the mature Jadeheart Grass, breaking through to Deity Realm would virtually be almost guaranteed! It��s just too bad that �� this old man is incapable and can��t refine the Jadeheart Pill. Otherwise, you breaking through to the Deity Realm would virtually be something that��s guaranteed! A shame! A shame!��


    Chen Yan lamented and sighed, repeatedly saying that it was a shame. Clearly, he found it a great pity.


    Jadeheart Pill was a divine pill. To him, it was something that could be looked at, but could not be touched.


    Not forming a pill and directly eating was only wasting this stalk of divine medicine.


    But Chen Lie was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Uncle Yan, you don��t need to be like this. I plan on saving this Jadeheart Grass for Yong-er. His talent is greater than mine. He��ll definitely be able to break through to the Deity Realm when the time comes.��


    But Chen Yan shook his head and said, ��It��s no use! By the time Yong-er cultivates to peak mortal realm, the Jadeheart Grass�� spiritual energy will have more than half lost. At that time, it will also be no different from ordinary mortal-grade spirit medicines. Don��t get any ideas about planting it either. The nurturing of divine rank spirit medicines is extremely nitty-gritty and profound. This old man doesn��t have much assurance in being able to preserve its spiritual energy. Furthermore �� Luo Sheng is going to come and collect taxes tomorrow. Do you think that he��ll let this divine rank spirit medicine off?��


    With this, Chen Lie��s expression became ugly.


    By the side, Chen Yong��s expression also became very ugly.


    A Deity Realm powerhouse held a great significance to a village.


    As long as a Deity Realm powerhouse appeared in a village, their survival rate would greatly increase and they also would not need to be afraid of the invasion of fierce beasts anymore.


    And this village would also become a powerful village in one stroke, dominating the lives and deaths of other villages!


    Luo Sheng that Chen Yan spoke of was a Deity Realm powerhouse!


    Therefore, the Luo Village was also the strongest village in the radius of ten thousand miles, the other villages had to bow their heads in submission.


    ��This �� There��s only 10% chance? It��s too wasteful!�� Chen Lie said gloomily.


    The others all fell silent, while Chen Yong had a look of self-reproach, secretly hating that his strength was not strong enough.


    Right at this time, a discordant voice suddenly sounded out, ��Why don��t �� I give it a try.��


    Everyone looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise, the one who spoke was precisely him.


    Chen Yong just happened to be in a bad mood. Hearing Ye Yuan speak, he completely erupted.


    ��What has it got to do with you here? What do you, a good-for-nothing who doesn��t even have essence energy, want to try? This is a quasi-divine rank spirit medicine. It��s not for you to play around with!�� Chen Yong hollered at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan wiped the spittle on his face and still had a blank face.


    Even he himself also did not know why he would say such a thing.


    The moment A��Xiu heard, she was immediately indignant and put her hands on her hips and said, ��What are you being fierce for? A��Ning had good intentions too! Moreover, Grandpa said before, A��Ning must have been an important person in the past. How do you know that he can��t do it?��


    Chen Lie appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, ��A��Ning, not that Uncle Lie doesn��t trust you, but �� you don��t even have essence energy.��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Uhh �� makes sense.��


    But by the side, Chen Yan was absorbed in thought and suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��A��Ning, do you have the confidence of success?��


    The others all used incomparably shocked gazes to look at Chen Yan, not understanding what he meant.


    What methods could a cripple who did not even have essence energy have?


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and shook his head and said, ��I �� I don��t know either.��


    Chen Yan asked curiously, ��Then why did you say so just now?��


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��I don��t know either, it didn��t go through my brain earlier and I suddenly said it out loud.��


    Chen Yan��s face revealed a pondering look. Finally, his gaze turned intent and he handed the Jadeheart Grass to Ye Yuan and said, ��Come to my pill refining room. Whatever you need, take it yourself!��


    Chen Lie had not said anything yet when Chen Yong directly lugged the Snowjade Roebuck and jumped up, saying in shock and anger, ��Grandpa Yan! This is a quasi-divine rank spirit medicine!��

 Chapter 2202 - Divine-grade? What Is That?

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Uncle Yan, isn��t this �� too rash?�� Chen Lie also could not resist speaking up.


    As for the people in the village, each and every one of them revealed reluctant looks too. Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were full of suspicion.


    After all, what right did a brat, who did not even have essence energy, have to test a divine rank spirit medicine?


    One had to know, to get divine rank spirit medicines on Jingning Mountain, one could come by with luck but not by searching for it.


    Letting a person who lost his memories and did not have essence energy fiddle with it, wasn��t it messing around?


    Casually playing around and the 10% chance would even be lost.


    Even Ye Yuan himself also said hesitantly, ��Grandpa Yan, I��m afraid that �� this isn��t appropriate, right?��


    But Chen Yan waved his hand and said, ��You go ahead and try. If it��s really gone, this old man, I, will shoulder it. Chen Lie, you have no objections, right?��


    Rubbish! Of course I have objections!


    But Uncle Yan��s status in the village was exceedingly high, not only was he his elder, he even saved many people in the village.


    Without him, the Chen Village would have long failed to maintain itself.


    For him, Chen Lie, to have everything today, Uncle Yan also contributed great efforts.


    Chen Lie opened his mouth and said with a bitter smile, ��Since Uncle Lie has decided, I naturally have no objections.��


    �� ��


    Chen Yan said that it was a pill refining room, but actually, it was just a thatched house.


    What a stalk of quasi-divine rank spirit medicines influenced was the hearts of the people in the entire village.


    If 10% hope placed on Chen Lie won the bet, that would be the village��s future.


    But right now, letting a guy who did not even have essence energy play with it, how could they not worry?


    Upon entering the refining room, a familiar feeling hit him face-on.


    Ye Yuan��s entire spirit seemed to have become much better all of a sudden.


    Chen Yan had been observing Ye Yuan all along. Seeing this scene, he himself also felt inspired.


    He had the greatest seniority in this village and knew the most.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to be injured until like that and still not die, he was absolutely not a mortal realm martial artist like them.


    Ye Yuan being able to recover, his medicine actually did not have much effect.


    More of it was Ye Yuan��s own recovery ability!


    Just now, Ye Yuan blurted out very naturally, like it was instinctive.


    So he guessed that perhaps Ye Yuan was a powerful Alchemy God in the past!


    Since Ye Yuan instinctively said that he could do it, then he might really have some way.


    Chen Yan knew that the methods of Alchemy God powerhouses were inconceivable. It was completely not what a mortal realm alchemist like him could imagine.


    Everyone was standing outside the door. Ye Yuan went into the refining room alone, walked around, and stopped, gently stroking some spirit medicines as well as some utensils.


    Touching these things, Ye Yuan had an extremely familiar feeling.


    That sort of familiarity was just like his body��s instinct.


    Ye Yuan felt that his blood was burning little by little.


    ��What a familiar feeling!�� Ye Yuan muttered.


    Everyone��s gazes followed Ye Yuan��s movements, not knowing what he wanted to do.


    It was just that he walked around and did not have the intention of taking action.


    Chen Yong snorted coldly and said unhappily, ��He��s just walking around like that. The sky is already dark. I also don��t know what he wants to do! What can he do like this?��


    ��Yeah! Why do I feel like this kid isn��t reliable at all, like he��s pretending to be mysterious!��


    ��Uncle Yan, don��t be fooled by this boy. That��s a quasi-divine rank spirit medicine!��


    �� ��


    Quite a number of villagers were very unhappy, grumbling toward Chen Yan.


    Chen Yan��s brows furrowed, and he said with a low roar, ��All shut up for this old man! Anybody else that dares to speak, get out for me!��


    When everyone saw Chen Yan fly off the handle, each and every one of them was silent like cicadas in winter.


    Chen Lie originally wanted to chime in a few words too, but seeing Chen Yan flared up, he could only shut his mouth sensibly.


    Ye Yuan��s idling took more than an hour.


    Suddenly, his footsteps stopped and he took out a piece of low-grade divine essence stone from an exquisite box.


    Everyone��s faces changed!


    This kid really knew what to take!


    In a place like the Chen Village, a piece of low-grade divine essence stone was extremely precious.


    All of Chen Yan��s hidden goods were also merely just three pieces.


    This was still him having saved for many years and expended no idea how many materials before exchanging for it.


    This kid was not courteous!


    Ye Yuan picked up the divine essence stone and pushed away the things on the table, revealing a large empty area.


    Then, his pen moved like flying, using the divine essence stone and started drawing on the table.


    Everyone had stunned faces, only Chen Yan��s eyes became brighter and brighter.


    Ye Yuan was depicting an array formation!


    He could not understand this array formation at all; incomparably profound!


    This is absolutely not the standard that a One-star Alchemy God can have! Chen Yan screamed in his heart.


    In merely a few breaths, Ye Yuan casually drew a design.


    Then, he walked over to the medicine rack there swiftly and casually grabbed a few spirit medicines. He threw them into the array formation together with the Jadeheart Grass.


    ��This guy��s eyes are actually shut!��


    ��He �� He��s also too casual, right?��


    ��Is there refining medicine like this? This is wasting spirit medicines, right?! You see, there��s indeed no reaction.��


    �� ��


    The villages all revealed indignant looks because they discovered that Ye Yuan actually had his eyes shut throughout the whole process.


    Although they could not understand the array formation, Ye Yuan��s attitude was also too casual.


    And the array formation that Ye Yuan drew indeed did not have any activities.


    ��What the hell do you all understand?! A��Ning has already turned all of his abilities into instinct. He doesn��t need to look at all, and he doesn��t need to measure! All shut up for me and watch closely!�� Chen Yan suddenly shouted coldly.


    Everyone did not dare to say again.


    One breath.


    Two breaths.


    Three breaths!


    Murmur!


    The array formation suddenly lit up, a thick surge of spiritual energy poured into the refining room crazily.


    This array formation also had the effect of gathering spirit!


    Even Ye Yuan himself was also dumbfounded by this miraculous scene.


    He looked at his hands, a look of incredulity.


    This was done by him?


    After several breaths, the light faded. Four medicinal pills lay on the table quietly.


    Everyone��s eyes became wide saucers, mouths opening widely, their faces full of shock.


    Especially Chen Yong, he was previously making quite a bit of disparaging remarks.


    At this time, Ye Yuan actually refined the medicinal pills.


    With a method that he had never heard of before!


    Used divine essence stone and casually drew a bit, and one could refine medicinal pills?


    This kind of method, he had never thought of before even in his dreams!


    Chen Yan��s eyes shone with brilliant light, that look in his eyes wished to swallow Ye Yuan whole.


    He trembled as he walked in front of the table. Carefully holding up a medicinal pill, he said agitatedly, ��That��s right! That��s right! It��s the Jadeheart Pill! Exactly the same as in the records! That spirit gathering array formation just now forcefully raised the quasi-divine rank spirit medicine to a divine rank spirit medicine and refined the Jadeheart Pill! No, wait, this �� this isn��t an ordinary Jadeheart Pill! C-Could this be a divine-grade Jadeheart Pill?��


    ��What? Divine-grade Jadeheart Pill? This �� How is this possible?��


    ��My God, divine-grade Jadeheart Pill, I didn��t hear wrongly, right?��


    ��Could it be that A��Ning is really a legendary Alchemy God?��


    �� ��


    Nobody in the entire village had seen before an Alchemy God, let alone talk about a divine rank divine pill.


    Even Chen Yan only noticed something off too and speculated.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look as he said, ��Divine-grade Jadeheart Pill? What��s that?��


    Chen Yan could not help choking when he heard that and almost dropped the medicinal pill onto the ground.


    The villages also almost collectively fell to the ground. This guy did not even know what was a divine-grade divine pill, and yet he refined four divine-grade divine pills in one go?

 Chapter 2203 - I Feel That You’ll Be Overwhelmed by It

    ��A divine-grade Jadeheart Pill is simply a god-like medicinal pill! As long as there��s this one pill, your Uncle Lie will be able to 100% step into the Deity Realm that one even dreamed about! Four divine-grade Jadeheart Pills is equivalent to four divine rank powerhouses!��


    Chen Yan had an agitated look, even reaching the point of fanaticism already.


    He was now incomparably certain that the Chen Village picked up a treasure!


    Before something happened to A��Ning, he was absolutely a Two-star Alchemy God!


    No, it was Three-star!


    Definitely a Three-star Alchemy God!


    As for the even stronger Four-star Alchemy God, that already surpassed the scope of Chen Yan��s understanding. He did not even have the courage to think about it.


    Even if he racked his brains, he would also not be able to imagine what kind of powerful alchemy supreme lord was that.


    Ye Yuan scratched his head and said, ��Looks like I��m not a good for nothing trash.��


    Chen Yan laughed loudly and said, ��Trash? This old man has never regarded you as trash! From that moment I saved you, I knew that you absolutely didn��t belong in a shallow pond!��


    By the side, A��Xiu looked at Ye Yuan, blinking her eyes and saying with a look of idolization, ��Hehe, I said it before, A��Ning is definitely not an ordinary person!��


    The villages were still in the midst of shock, they were stunned silly by Chen Yan��s ��four divine rank powerhouses��.


    ��My God, four divine rank powerhouses! I didn��t hear wrongly, right?��


    ��Then wouldn��t our Chen Village become the strongest village in the radius of ten thousand miles?��


    ��This A��Ning truly can��t be judged by his appearance! I didn��t expect that he��s actually an Alchemy God in hiding!��


    �� ��


    At this time, how could the villagers still remember the mocking from before?


    The few words ��four divine rank powerhouses�� seemed to have magical power, making everyone change their tones immediately.


    A Divine Realm powerhouse was the realm that every hunter in the village yearned for.


    But to this day, a divine rank powerhouse had never appeared in the village before.


    To mortals, taking this step was far too difficult!


    It could not be realized throughout their entire lives too.


    But Ye Yuan casually drew with his hands and magicked out four divine rank powerhouses, how formidable was this!


    Chen Yong was incredibly embarrassed at one side.


    Seeing A��Xiu��s besotted appearance, the vat of vinegar in his heart was instantly knocked over again.


    ��Humph! What��s impressive about it! I can also cultivate to the Deity Realm by cultivating myself!��


    He thought so in his heart, but his eyes still flitted towards the Jadeheart Pills without putting up a fight.


    As for Chen Lie and Chen Jian, their eyes had never left the Jadeheart Pills before. Their bodies even agitated until it was quivering.


    That was Deity Realm!


    Chen Yan was experienced with age in the end and was the first to recover from the shock.


    He coughed dryly twice and called everyone��s souls back, and slowly said, ��Chen Lie, Chen Jian, the two of you each get a divine-grade Jadeheart Pill and immediately enter closed-seclusion. You must break through to the Deity Realm before tomorrow!��


    ��Yes, Uncle Yan!�� The two people were wildly ecstatic and carefully received the medicinal pill from Chen Yan��s hands, and they left with large strides.


    Chen Yan carefully put away the two remaining Jadeheart Pills and said to Chen Yong and A��Xiu, ��A��Yong, A��Xiu, these two medicinal pills are saved for you! From today onwards, you have to cultivate diligently and reach the peak mortal realm as soon as possible!��


    A��Yong finally let out a sigh and said with cupped fists, ��Yes, Grandpa Yan!��


    When he said this, he could not resist secretly sneaking a peek at Ye Yuan and discovered that the other party was absorbed in thought, and he could not help secretly heaving a sigh in relief.


    Fortunately, this guy did not haggle over things. Otherwise, if he taunted a few words, his face would have nowhere to go.


    Especially that it was in front of A��Xiu.


    ��Grandpa, this isn��t far! The medicinal pills were refined by A��Ning. Why isn��t one left for him?�� A��Xiu said unhappily.


    Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said, ��It is not that grandpa is taking advantage of A��Ning, but even if this medicinal pill was consumed by him, it also won��t have the least bit of use.��


    A��Xiu was puzzled and asked, ��This is a divine pill. How can that be possible?��


    Chen Yan said, ��A��Ning suffered heavy injuries. Spiritual energy can��t be stored in his body at all. Even if he eats this spirit medicine, it will also be all in vain in the end.��


    A��Xiu still wanted to say something, but he heard Ye Yuan smile and said, ��A��Xiu, it was you and Grandpa Yan who saved me. You taking this medicinal pill is ought to be too. Uh �� perhaps I can refine even more incredible medicinal pills in the future?��


    The moment these words came out, Chen Yan��s two eyes shone!


    Goodness!


    Why didn��t I think of this?


    After Chen Lie and Chen Jian broke through to the Deity Realm, getting divine rank spirit medicines would become much easier.


    At that time ��


    Thinking up to here, Chen Yan was virtually losing control of the feverishness in his heart!


    Maybe he had hopes of breaking through to the Deity Realm too!


    ��Uncle Yan, things are bad! Luo Sheng brought the Luo Village��s people and came to collect taxes in advance!��


    Everyone was currently immersed in their fantasy when someone suddenly came to report, shattering all the fantasies to pieces at once.


    No one thought that Luo Sheng actually came so quickly!


    Chen Lie and Chen Jian two people were definitely already in closed-seclusion right now and could not be interrupted.


    If Luo Sheng discovered that Jadeheart Pills, the Chen Village would likely face a catastrophic disaster!


    In this county area, there was no justice to talk about.


    Whoever��s fist was larger, whoever was the law.


    Luo Sheng was the sole Deity Realm powerhouse in the radius of ten thousand miles, his words were the imperial edict.


    Furthermore, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Sheng to passively watch the Chen Village grow.


    Chen Yan��s face fell and he said, ��Everybody, follow me. The matter of the Jadeheart Pills absolutely can��t be divulged! Each and every one of you put away your expressions and pretend like there��s nothing. Once the slightest hint is divulged, everyone will have to die, understand?��


    Everyone��s faces turned austere, nodding their heads one after another.


    Chen Yan chased the villagers out, found a hidden area, and put away the two Jadeheart Pills before following out.


    �� ��


    Chen Yan led everyone out of the village. They saw a middle-aged man in brocade opposite of them had unparalleled martial prowess.


    A large contingent of troops was brought along behind him, the soldiers being strong and the horses sturdy.


    Just the grand completion mortal realm powerhouses were more than ten people!


    Chen Yan did not say a word and directly knelt down toward Luo Sheng who was riding on a horse.


    ��Chen Village��s Chen Yan, leads the villagers to offer greetings to divine being, Lord Luo!��


    With him kneeling, the rest knelt down one after another and called out, ��Offering greetings to divine being Lord Luo!��


    In the eyes of these mortal realms, Deity Realm was an invincible existence, being addressed respectfully as ��divine being��.


    And in Luo Sheng��s eyes, these villagers were all ants. Seeing him, they had to kneel down.


    Otherwise, it was death!


    Suddenly, Luo Sheng��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Boy, who are you! Why didn��t you kneel seeing this god?��


    Chen Yan turned around and discovered that Ye Yuan was currently standing there blankly with his brows furrowed, deep in thought, and could not help being scared out of his wits.


    How could this boy be dumb at the critical juncture?


    When Ye Yuan saw everyone kneel, his brows knitted together instinctively.


    No idea why, he did not want to kneel toward this person!


    At the thought of wanting to kneel, every pore on Ye Yuan��s body was resisting.


    This was the pride that stemmed from his bones, even if he lost his memories, he could not be wiped away too.


    A mere Grotto Profound, only just entered Divine Dao, what qualifications did he have to make the exalted Second Sage kneel?


    The exalted Second Sage, that was the figure standing at the very summit of this Heavenspan World!


    Could he, Luo Sheng, accept a kneel from the Second Sage?


    Ye Yuan was absorbed in thought as he looked at Luo Sheng. Suddenly, he said with a serious face, ��Uh �� I feel that you��ll be overwhelmed by it!��

 Chapter 2204 - As Easy as Blowing off Dust

    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed drastically.


    Chen Yan��s head went buzzing and almost exploded.


    Why did this boy not know the proper way to act at this sort of time?


    As long as he endured until Chen Lie they all broke through, with two mighty Deity Realms here, would they still need to be afraid of Luo Sheng?


    ��A��Ning, quickly kneel down! The prestige of Divine Being can��t be affronted!�� Chen Yan said with a low cry.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head very seriously and said, ��Grandpa Yan, I��ve considered it very seriously. He really can��t take it!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Luo Sheng let out a loud laugh and pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��A trash who doesn��t even have essence energy actually says that this deity can��t handle a kneel from you? If I insist on you making obeisance today?��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said again with a serious look, ��I won��t do obeisance even if I die!��


    Luo Sheng nodded slightly and said to the subordinate beside him, ��Go, make him kneel down! If he doesn��t kneel, beat until he kneels!��


    Chen Yan��s expression changed greatly and he wanted to get up, but then he heard Luo Sheng say in a solemn voice, ��Nobody is allowed to move! Anyone who moves, dies!��


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter, how could they still dare to move?


    They did not understand why Ye Yuan would be so stubborn.


    Just making an obeisance, one would not die.


    That subordinate had a pleased look as he swaggered in front of Ye Yuan.


    At this time, A��Xiu suddenly stood up. Blocking in front of Ye Yuan, she said with a stubborn look, ��You��re not allowed to touch him!��


    Pah!


    Everyone did not react to it and A��Xiu was already struck flying by the subordinate with one slap.


    ��Divine Being said that whoever moves dies, are you deaf?��


    As he said, the subordinate pulled out the saber at his waist and chopped over toward A��Xiu without the slightest hesitation.


    ��A��Xiu!��


    Chen Yan��s face changed wildly, but it was already too late to want to stop it.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed greatly too and pounced toward A��Xiu without thinking, using his body to protect her below him.


    Clank!


    This saber landed on Ye Yuan��s body without the slightest hesitation and emitted the sound of metal clashing.


    The faces of the villagers changed again and again.


    They first gave a cry of surprise, all thinking that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But Ye Yuan did not die.


    The saber, shattered!


    Yes, completely and utterly shattered.


    ��Ouch! My hand!��


    The subordinate gave a painful cry. The saber that only had the hilt remaining fell to the ground, the webbing between his thumb and index finger being shocked until fresh blood spurted wildly.


    Everyone had stunned faces. The one who was hacked was fine, while the person hacking was badly mutilated?


    ��What happened? Could it be that A��Ning��s body is as tough and strong as steel?��


    ��This guy is really strange!��


    �� ��


    Casually refining divine-grade divine pills, and being impervious to swords and spears from head to toe.


    It turned out that even after losing one��s memories, the person could still be so formidable!


    Only Chen Yong��s gaze flickered, connecting it to Ye Yuan��s ease when chopping firewood in his mind. Could it be that this guy was a body-refinement martial artist in the past?


    Now, he somewhat believed Grandpa Yan��s words. Ye Yuan��s origins were likely really not simple!


    Luo Sheng��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��No wonder you��re so cocky. It turns out that you��re a body-refinement martial artist! However, in front of the power of Deity Realm, everything is drifting clouds!��


    It was only to see him leap up. A force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas billowed to the sky.


    The faces of the villagers all turned ashen pale, being stunned by this power.


    This was the power of Deity Realm!


    This kind of power crushed everything!


    ��DIE!��


    Luo Sheng arrived in front of Ye Yuan with a leap and planned on killing Ye Yuan with a palm.


    Facing this power, Ye Yuan��s complexion also turned deathly pale.


    He wanted to avoid this palm, but once he dodged, A��Xiu would die without a doubt.


    Helpless, he could only forcefully withstand this palm.


    Bang!


    Thud, thud, thud ��


    Luo sheng fell back several dozen steps in a row before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment.


    This palm landing, Ye Yuan was completely unscathed, while his own palm already could not lift up anymore!


    How could this guy��s body be so tough?


    The villagers had blank faces, looking at Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    Wasn��t a Deity Realm an invincible existence?


    Why was it that when facing such a frail A��Ning, he could not even harm a hair?


    Luo Sheng��s face fell and he turned angry from embarrassment and said, ��Brat, consider yourself ruthless! However, I want to see how many people you can protect! Kill for me! Spare none!��


    Luo Sheng��s party was very strong, far from what the Chen Village could compete with.


    Let alone that there was even Luo Sheng, this Deity Realm powerhouse around.


    A hint of viciousness flashed across Luo Sheng��s eyes, and he said to Chen Yan in a cold voice, ��Old thing, to dare defy this deity��s orders, seeking death!��


    ��STOP!��


    However, right at this moment, two powerful auras surged to the sky, arriving in front of everyone in an instant.


    ��Patriarch!��


    ��A��Jian!��


    When the villagers saw these two people, each and every one of them was inexplicably roused.


    While Chen Yan had a look of astonishment on his face as he said in shock, ��You �� How did you guys break through so fast?��


    Chen Lie smiled bitterly and said, ��I don��t know what��s going on either. Upon swallowing the medicinal pill, my realm reached grand completion, then I broke through to the Grotto Profound Realm without the slightest obstacle, not needing the slightest effort at all!��


    Chen Jian also had a look of wonder as he said, ��Me too! Furthermore, this is still only the beginning. My realm is soaring crazily all the way, breaking through all the way to the late-stage Grotto Profound Realm before stabilizing.��


    Chen Lie nodded his head and said, ��Me too! What��s even scarier is that even though I broke through to the late-stage Grotto Profound Realm, my realm is incomparably sturdy, without the slightest signs of instability!��


    Chen Lie and Chen Jian��s current realm was not the initial-stage Grotto Profound Realm, but it was the late-stage Grotto Profound Realm!


    When Luo Sheng saw these two people, his face immediately turned ashen, shock on his face.


    He was angered out of his mind by Ye Yuan just now and did not detect that these two people were not around for some time.


    Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, Chen Lie and Chen Jian, these two people, actually directly broke through to the late-stage Grotto Profound Realm?


    Meanwhile, he was merely just at the initial-stage Grotto Profound Realm.


    Chen Lie two people could trample him to death with one foot.


    But at this time, there was already no one who would go and pay attention to him. Everyone cast shocked gazes toward Ye Yuan once more.


    Just what kind of medicinal pills did this guy refine!


    Even Chen Yan was also in a mess this time.


    He had never heard before that a divine-grade divine pill could let a mortal directly breakthrough to late-stage Grotto Profound Realm!


    This sort of thing was simply fantastical!


    Divine-grade medicinal pills were already the limits of what he understood.


    As for whatever purple spirit, void spirit, with his status, he was unable to come into contact with them at all.


    Of course, if he came into contact with them, he would only be more shocked.


    How could he know that the Jadeheart Pills which Ye Yuan casually refined already reached the peak of vast spirit divine-grade?


    Although Ye Yuan was still in a state of amnesia currently, his pill refining skills practically flooded every cell in his body.


    Refining a mere rank one divine pill was simply using a cannon to kill mosquitoes, wasting his talents on a petty job.


    ��A-Alright. Talk about A��Ning��s matters afterward. We need to deal with the matter on-hand first,�� Chen Yan adjusted his dry throat and said.


    Chen Lie nodded slightly and looked towards Luo Shen, his face full of killing intent.


    Thud!


    Luo Sheng directly knelt down without another word and wept, ��T-Two lords, this lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! I �� I beg you to spare my life! From today onward, the Luo Village will follow the Chen Village��s lead! Oh, right, this lowly one collected quite a few good stuff these few years. I��m willing to offer them up!��


    Chen Lie��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��Are there divine rank spirit medicines?��


    Luo Sheng repeatedly nodded and said, ��Have! There are some!��


    Chen Lie and Chen Jian exchanged a glance and smiled.

 Chapter 2205 - Deity Realm Village

    Under the attentive gazes of the villagers, Chen Yong and A��Xiu walked out of closed-seclusion.


    The auras on their bodies were already totally different!


    Deity Realm!


    After these two people consumed the Jadeheart Pills that Ye Yuan refined, they broke through to Deity Realm without the slightest surprise!


    Furthermore, these two people actually both reached middle-stage Grotto Profound Realm.


    The power of the medicinal efficacy dumbfounded everyone.


    With this kind of miraculous medicinal pill, how was there still a need to cultivate?


    Prior to this, Chen Yong and A��Xiu still had a long way to go from the grand completion mortal realm.


    But in a twinkle, they were already Deity Realm powerhouses.


    The realm that was once far beyond reach, the Chen Village actually suddenly had four of them in one day. The villagers felt like they were dreaming.


    ��Tsk tsk, A��Ning is really our village��s treasure!��


    ��Uncle Yan, you really picked up a big treasure for our Chen Village!��


    ��A��Ning, my family��s Chun-er has just nicely reached a marriageable age. Why don��t you consider it?��


    �� ��


    A group of villagers crowded around Ye Yuan, pulling and yanking on him, making Ye Yuan very uncomfortable.


    ��Alright, alright! A��Ning isn��t someone who belongs in a shallow pond, our village can��t hold him!�� Chen Yan chased everyone away and said crossly.


    He did not lose his head by everything in front of him. Being able to refine such magical medicinal pills, Ye Yuan was absolutely not an ordinary person.


    How could a measly little Chen Village hold this great buddha?


    Chen Yan sneaked a glance at his granddaughter. Seeing the look in his granddaughter��s eyes, he could not help sighing slightly in his heart.


    Originally, everyone thought that A��Xiu and A��Yong were a pair. But Ye Yuan��s appearance completely unlocked A��Xiu��s maiden feelings.


    It was just that, the dropping flowers pine for love, while the heartless brook will probably babble on!


    Even if A��Xiu broke through to the Deity Realm now, she likely could not match up to Ye Yuan at all too.


    Even though he did not know what kind of grade the Jadeheart Pills reached, without a doubt, it already exceeded his imagination!


    Ye Yuan could even refine such heaven-defying medicinal pills under a state of amnesia and his divine essence being completely lost. It could be seen how formidable he was before.


    ��A��Yong, A��Xiu, why haven��t you come over and thank A��Ning?�� Chen Yan said in a solemn voice.


    Chen Yong��s expression was complicated. Finally, he still came before Ye Yuan and gave a bow, saying, ��Many thanks, A��Ning!��


    While A��Xiu said in surprise, ��A��Ning, this medicinal pill is too magical! After I swallowed it, it��s simply like I can automatically cultivate, breaking through to the Deity Realm in a blink of an eye!��


    Ye Yuan scratched his head and said with a vacant look, ��Uh, is it very impressive? I don��t know either!��


    A��Xiu nodded her head repeatedly and said, ��Very impressive! Very impressive! Didn��t you see that Luo Sheng��s expression? He even wanted to cry previously!��


    Ye Yuan smiled bashfully. Thinking about it, he seemed to really be quite impressive.


    �� ��


    After several days, Chen Jian brought Luo Sheng back.


    Everyone was very curious, not knowing what things Chen Jian brought back.


    In front of everyone, Chen Jian chuckled and said, ��Got to say, this guy really hid quite a number of good stuff these few years! Their Luo Village even got a miniature medicine garden and planted quite a few divine rank spirit medicines inside. This time, I raided all of them in one go.��


    When Chen Yan and the rest listened until here, each and every one of their eyes shone.


    What they hoped to hear the most right now were divine rank spirit medicines!


    What did divine rank spirit medicines signify?


    A stalk of quasi-divine rank Jadeheart Grass created four Grotto Profound Realm powerhouses.


    If there was a batch of divine rank spirit medicines placed here �� what would happen later already did not need to think too much.


    The villagers were all wildly ecstatic. If the spirit medicines were sufficient, could they also break through to the Deity Realm?


    Rustle!


    Chen Jian let out the bunch of things inside the storage ring. Chen Yan��s gaze turned intent, his face revealing a look of wild elation.


    ��Sundered Space Weed, Silver Frost Ginseng, Seamless Flower �� Also, this is a divine rank Jadeheart Grass! I didn��t expect that the Luo Village actually collected so many good things!�� Chen Yan said agitatedly.


    By the side, Luo Sheng had long become a bitter-gourd face.


    The divine rank spirit medicines that he gathered these few years were planned on using for himself to break through.


    Who knew that it was wiped out all at once today.


    ��A��Ning, this ���� Chen Yan looked toward Ye Yuan pleadingly, somewhat fidgety in his heart.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I��ll give it a shot then!��


    Chen Yan was overjoyed when he heard that and brought a bunch of spirit medicines into the refining room.


    Following that, various sorts of light would come out of the refining room from time to time.


    Outside the house, the expression of Luo Sheng who was watching Ye Yuan refine pills for the first time was fascinating to the extreme.


    ��This �� This is simply a miracle! I��ve never heard before that someone can refine pills like this! No wonder, no wonder your Chen Village has four Deity Realm powerhouses that appear all of a sudden! Who in the world is this young man?�� Luo Sheng said in shock.


    Chen Lie smiled until his mouth could not close, and he said with a proud look, ��Three years ago, A��Ning sustained serious injuries. It was Uncle Yan and A��Xiu who saved him. As for who he is, we don��t know as well.��


    Although he did not know, the smugness on Chen Lie��s face could not be concealed no matter what.


    Because he knew that the Chen Village would become completely different from today onward!


    Seeing Chen Lie��s expression, Luo Sheng��s heart felt as awful as having eaten a fly.


    But he could not hold back his feelings of envy.


    Freaking hell, why didn��t I encounter this sort of good thing?! Luo Sheng secretly cursed in his heart.


    The efficiency of Ye Yuan��s array formation pill refinement was very high. In less than half a day, these spirit medicines that Chen Jian brought were refined into all sorts of medicinal pills by him.


    Furthermore, each medicinal pill emitted an extraordinary aura. Clearly, the grade was extremely high.


    Chen Yan, Chen Lie, and the rest had wide beams on their faces. With these medicinal pills, the Chen Village would completely soar to the sky with one bound!


    �� ��


    Cloudriver County, City Lord Manor.


    City Lord Huang Wei was currently discussing matters with the few major family heads in the city when City Guard Commander, Li Zhe, suddenly barged inside.


    Huang Wei��s brows furrowed and he said, ��What are you acting rashly for? Don��t know the rules?!��


    But Li Zhe right away said, ��Your Excellency, something big happened! This subordinate doesn��t dare to dawdle!��


    Huang Wei said coolly, ��My Cloudriver City has always been peaceful. What major thing can happen?��


    Li Zhe said, ��Your Excellency, a Deity Realm village appeared outside of Cloudriver City! Overnight, this Chen Village��s population of 121 people all broke through to Deity Realm!��


    ��What did you say?�� When Huang Wei heard this, he suddenly shot to his feet, not quite daring to believe his ears.


    ��Overnight? Got to be a joke! The people in this village wouldn��t have been struck by lightning, right?��


    ��Commander Li, food can just be eaten, but words can��t simply be said! Even if a capital city��s Three-star Alchemy God came, it��s also impossible to create 100 over Deity Realms overnight, right?��


    �� ��


    When the few family heads heard this, they all had disbelieving looks. They could not resist scoffing at Li Zhe.


    But Li Zhe said, ��Your Excellency, this subordinate has a squire who went to the Luo Village in the vicinity of this Chen Village. He returned to his hometown to pay a visit to his elders this time and brought back this news! At first, this subordinate didn��t believe it either. But this subordinate personally went to investigate and verify it. This matter is absolutely true!��


    Everyone��s expression turned stiff with shocked faces.


    Li Zhe personally took a trip, looks like it would not be wrong.


    But this sort of thing was too fantastical!

 Chapter 2206 - Collecting Ancient Records

    To this day, Chen Yan still felt that he was having a dream.


    The Chen Village actually became a Deity Realm village!


    Even those brats who were still wet behind their ears, after consuming Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills, they also broke through to Deity Realm overnight.


    Ye Yuan��s pair of hands was seemingly able to transform the rotten into something magical.


    The Deity Realm that was as high as the clouds in their eyes, Ye Yuan could casually create them.


    And now, even Cloudriver City��s city lord was waiting outside of the village respectfully, not daring to have the least bit of arrogance.


    That was Cloudriver City��s city lord, an Origin Deity Realm mighty expert!


    Origin Deity Realm was once an unreachable existence to the Chen Village, a figure in the heavens.


    But now, he was actually standing outside the village obediently.


    Drawing a deep breath, Chen Yan pushed the door and went in. Ye Yuan was currently holding his superficial Alchemy Dao records and classics, and reading with great gusto.


    ��A��Ning!�� Chen Yan called smilingly.


    Ye Yuan put down the book, got up, and said with a smile, ��Grandpa Yan.��


    Chen Yan smiled and waved his hand, indicating for Ye Yuan to sit down, and saw, ��Oh, A��Ning, this old man��s books probably can��t enter your sights at all, right?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said seriously, ��Although Grandpa Yan��s books are shallow, I still learned many things from them. Uh �� I��ve already finished reading these books and made some remarks on them.��


    Reading these Alchemy Dao records, Ye Yuan understood with one glance and did not have the slightest feeling of sluggishness.


    Ye Yuan seemed to be able to find his own past from them.


    Chen Yan received them to take a look and could not help trembling all over.


    It was only to see that many things were recorded densely on the records.


    Ye Yuan��s casual annotations immediately enlightened many areas that he did not understand in the past!


    Briefly reading a few lines, he actually had a feeling of being enlightened.


    Ye Yuan��s casual annotations were already no idea how many times more brilliant than the contents in these books.


    Chen Yan was sure that Ye Yuan��s level was definitely a thousand times, even ten thousand times more brilliant than the people who wrote the books!


    ��Incisive! Truly penetrating! A��Ning, you must have been an incredible high-level Alchemy God in the past!�� Chen Yan sighed with admiration as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with a nod, ��I also feel that way, regardless of whether it is refining pills or reading books, I have a very familiar feeling. It��s as if I was born for the sake of refining pills. Oh, right, is Grandpa Yan finding me for something?��


    Only then did Chen Yan wake up from the shock and said rather embarrassedly, ��Almost forgot the official matters! Cloudriver City��s city lord has come to realize the truth. Lord Huang Wei brought the family heads of the five major families in the city, and they personally came to our Chen Village to request an audience with you. They don��t dare to come in and disturb and are currently waiting outside the village.��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��To see me?��


    Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said, ��Our Chen Village, the old and young, have all become Deity Realm powerhouses now. It already shocked all the neighboring households.Iit��s also not strange that City Lord knows. The status of Alchemy Gods is venerated. He��s definitely coming to find you to request for pills.��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I��ll meet him then.��


    �� ��


    When Huang Wei and the few major family heads saw Ye Yuan, they were utterly stunned.


    The one who created a Deity Realm village overnight was an ordinary person who did not even have divine essence?


    He looked towards Chen Yan rather strangely, wondering if this guy was playing them.


    Chen Yan hurriedly explained, ��City Lord, A��Ning has always maneuvered heaven and earth spiritual energy to refine pills with array formations and doesn��t need medicinal cauldrons or divine essence.��


    Huang Wei��s whole body trembled and he cried out in surprise, ��Hiss �� array formation refining pills!��


    The few people exchanged glances and bowed respectfully toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Cloudriver City��s city lord, Huang Wei, offers greetings to Master Ning!��


    Ye Yuan returned the bow and said, ��Your Excellency doesn��t have to be courteous.��


    Huang Wei said, ��This city lord��s intention of coming, I believe that Master Ning already knows. However �� I still want to witness Master��s medicinal pills.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Grandpa Yan.��


    Chen Yan understood and took out a jade bottle and passed it to Huang Wei.


    Huang Wei received the medicinal bottle and only took one look and cried out in surprise, ��This is �� Profound Origin Pill! What a high-quality Profound Origin Pill! Master Shu Ping, you come and take a look!��


    As he said, he passed the medicinal pill to an old man beside him.


    Very clearly, this old man was also an Alchemy God, a Two-star Alchemy God!


    Shu Ping��s breaking was already somewhat losing control starting from when he saw the medicinal pill.


    He received the Profound Origin Pill somewhat tremblingly and started looking closely at it.


    When everyone saw Shu Ping��s expression, each and every one of them felt lost.


    They knew that this medicinal pill��s quality was very high, but as for the specifics of how high, they did not know.


    Shu Ping looked at it and tears actually strewn down his old face as he wept and said, ��Didn��t expect it! Truly didn��t expect it! Having seen this pill, this old man can die without regrets!��


    His expression whetted everyone��s appetites.


    Yet, this old guy was performing there alone and refused to talk about the subject of the matter.


    Huang Wei could not resist asking, ��Master Shu Ping, just what �� is so extraordinary about this medicinal pill?��


    Only then did Shu Ping woke up and said with lingering palpitations in his heart, ��Vast spirit divine pill! This is a vast spirit divine pill! Being able to see a vast spirit divine pill in this lifetime, this old man can die without regrets!��


    The other few people trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of horror.


    Vast spirit divine pill, that was a medicinal pill of the legends!


    Even if a Five-star Alchemy God came, it was also completely impossible to refine a vast spirit divine pill!


    Now, it actually appeared in a county��s small village.


    This young man absolutely had an extraordinary background!


    While Chen Yan had a baffled look, he completely did not know what a vast spirit divine pill was.


    But seeing that the expression of a Two-star Alchemy God was at a loss whether to cry or laugh, he also knew that it was unusual.


    It seemed like he still underestimated A��Ning!


    Huang Wei suddenly got up and gave a respectful bow towards Ye Yuan and said, ��Master Ning��s great talent is too unworthy of this small village. Is it possible for you to move to the City Lord Manor? As long as Master Ning goes to the City Lord Manor, this Huang will definitely treat you cordially to the highest standards!��


    Chen Yan��s expression changed. This fellow was snatching people!


    ��No way!�� He said without the slightest hesitation.


    Huang Wei��s face fell. Normally, someone with a status like Chen Yan would have long been smacked to death by him with one slap.


    But this way, he would be offending Master Ning.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s no need to go to the City Lord Manor. There��s no problem with you guys coming to find me to refine pills, but �� I have a condition.��


    Hearing the first half of the sentence, Huang Wei had a look of disappointment.


    At the latter half, he had an enthusiastic look again as he said, ��What condition is there? Master Ning, feel free to speak up!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Help me collect Alchemy Dao records. No matter what kind they are, however many there are, the more the merrier!��


    Huang Wei had a curious look as he said, ��Master Ning, with your alchemy strength, is there still a need to look at these Alchemy Dao records?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There is no end to learning. There��s no harm in reading more books.��


    Huang Wei and the rest revealed looks of admiration and said with a nod, ��Master Ning, rest assured. Leave this small matter to this Huang!��


    At this time, Shu Ping suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Master Ning, this Shu knows quite a few people in the same pursuit, getting some Alchemy Dao records shouldn��t be anything difficult. This Shu doesn��t request for medicinal pills. I only request to be able to stay by Master Ning��s side and observe you refining pills from the sidelines. I wonder if that��s allowed?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��No problem.��

 Chapter 2207 - Heaven Rewards the Faithful!

    The noonday sun shone high above. Bright Moon Restaurant was bustling with activity, having all sorts of voices mingling together. It was very noisy.


    But as the top restaurant in Dragonstone Imperial City, this place was the place where information was well-connected.


    At this time, five martial artists were currently chatting merrily at a large table.


    A man who had a scar on his face said mysteriously, ��Have you guys heard? These few years, a big shot appeared in the east region of Kindness Imperial City!��


    With him saying this, it indeed aroused the attention of the other few people.


    A younger brother said with interest, ��Elder Brother Scar, you��re the most well-informed. Tell us what incredible big shot appeared.��


    Elder Brother Scar chuckled and said, ��This remarkable figure isn��t in Kindness Imperial City, but in a village that��s in the wilderness of a county subordinate to Kindness Imperial City! This person is called Master Ning, his alchemy skills being exceptional!��


    A companion said disdainfully, ��Haha, Elder Brother Scar, you��re talking nonsense here! What remarkable great figure can appear in a wild countryside��s village?��


    The moment Elder Brother Scar heard, he was immediately annoyed and said with a cold smile, ��What the hell do you know?! This person is called Master Ning. Over 60 years ago, this Master Ning rose into prominence, completely turning a village that was full of mortals all into Grotto Profound Realms overnight! At present, more than 60 years have passed, those mortals that followed him back then are all Divine Lord Realm now! That tiny little village is full of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses now!��


    The moment these words came out, the few people at the table sucked in a cold breath.


    A village with all the people being at the Divine Lord Realm, how terrifying was this?


    In just 60 years, making a village of mortals all reaching the Divine Lord Realm, was this something that a human could accomplish?


    A companion said with a look of disbelief, ��Elder Brother Scar, you �� you��re also being too ridiculous, right? This sort of thing, even a Six-star Alchemy God likely can��t do it too, right?��


    Elder Brother Scar sipped a mouthful of wine and said with a chuckle, ��Therefore, that��s why I said that he��s a remarkable great figure! Right now, the heavyweights of the several dozen imperial cities around that village, even the heavyweights of imperial capitals, are virtually all his esteemed guests! Our Dragonstone Imperial City is a little far away from Kindness Imperial City, so the news is much slower. At first, I didn��t believe it either. But a friend of mine heard this news when he was in traveling outside and really dropped by to request for pills. In the end, he broke through!��


    His companions�� faces were full of shock!


    Elder Brother Scar was a Third Firmament Divine Lord. Being able to be his friend, it was naturally a person at the Divine Lord Realm too.


    Being able to let a Divine Lord Realm breakthrough so casually, it was definitely not what an ordinary person could do.


    ��Elder Brother Scar, such an astonishing great figure, would the medicinal pills be so easy to request?�� A companion asked curiously.


    Elder Brother Scar smiled coldly and said, ��Didn��t you not believe it just now?��


    The companion gave an awkward laugh and said, ��Not that I don��t believe, but it��s truly that it��s somewhat fantastical!��


    Elder Brother Scar had the intention of showing off as he said smugly, ��Saying that that master��s medicinal pills are easy to request for, they are easy. Saying that they aren��t easy to request for, it��s also not easy. It just depends on whether you have that affinity or not.��


    The companion��s appetite was also successfully whetted up and he asked with a curious look, ��Oh? What does that mean?��


    Elder Brother Scar smiled and said, ��This master wants for nothing and only asks for Alchemy Dao records! Furthermore, as long as it��s an Alchemy Dao record, he would accept it without exception and refine medicinal pills for you. But a few years ago, it was naturally a little easier to ask for it. But along with the passage of time, the records in that master��s hands got more and more. The duplicates naturally also got more and more. This way, medicinal pills became harder to ask for. That friend of mine obtained before an Alchemy Dao record in his early years, it just so happened that that master didn��t have it. That��s how he succeeded by a fluke.��


    Everyone had a look of realization and said, ��So that��s how it is!��


    The more Elder Brother Scar said, the more proud of himself he got as he continued, ��Furthermore, I heard that this Master Ning doesn��t have any divine essence in his body, relying completely on array formations when refining pills! Even so, the quality of the medicinal pills that he refines is extremely high. The pills absolutely won��t be below divine-grade! Medicinal pills that have been refined by him have already been hiked to a sky-high price outside. Furthermore, there was demand, but no market!��


    When the companions heard, each and every one of them clicked their tongues in wonder.


    Not far away, a man and a woman sat by the window.


    The woman had a fine gauze covering her face, her body trembling slightly.


    The man opposite sighed and said, ��The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment too! What they are talking about is Master Ning.��


    The girl suddenly calmed down again and said softly, ��Even if I search until the seas wither and rocks decay, I also have to find Young Master!��


    The man let out another sigh and said, ��Really envy him, to be able to have lovers like you all.��


    Done talking, the man put down a few pieces of divine essence stones on the table and got up and said, ��Come on. I hope that this piece of news isn��t simply a waste of effort this time.��


    The girl with the fine gauze nodded slightly, got up, and left Bright Moon Restaurant with the man.


    �� ��


    Over 60 years passed quickly. The originally quiet little village became the most bustling place in a radius of ten million miles.


    Chen Village had many powerhouses coming and going every day.


    In these 60 years, Master Ning��s reputation grew more and more resounding. Powerhouses of various places came due to his fame.


    It alarmed the surrounding capital cities, imperial cities, and even imperial capitals.


    In just 60 years, apart from refining pills, Ye Yuan only did one thing. That was reading books!


    The Alchemy Dao records that he collected were enough to fill a house to the rafters. He immersed himself in the Alchemy Dao records every day.


    He could not remember the things in the past, but amidst the pill refinements and Alchemy Dao records, he seemed to be able to find a trace of his past shadow.


    Being very wide-read, Ye Yuan gleaned much nourishment from it.


    Gathering knowledge from around the world, Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao strength also advanced by leaps and bounds unknowingly.


    With the pill refining strength that Ye Yuan exhibited, there were naturally people who had devious ideas before too.


    But ever since a Celestial Deity Realm powerhouse entered the Chen Village and never came out again, no one dared to have designs on the Chen Village anymore.


    Along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan��s injuries got better bit by bit.


    Although he still did not have divine essence, over 60 years passed, his fleshy body already recovered 30-40%.


    Ordinary Celestial Deity Realms were unable to get close to him at all.


    ��A��Ning, someone came to request for pills again! They said that they brought many precious books this time that the village doesn��t have!�� A��Xiu entered Ye Yuan��s room and said joyfully.


    Ye Yuan put down the jade slip in his hand and said with slight surprise, ��Is that so? To talk about the Alchemy Dao records in my possession, there are really not many anymore. 60 years have passed, the Alchemy Dao records that don��t repeat also became fewer and fewer! Quickly bring me to go meet them!��


    A��Xiu nodded her head and brought Ye Yuan out.


    The arrivals were a man and a woman. When Ye Yuan saw the two, he clasped his hands and said, ��I wonder what medicinal pills the two of you want to ask for?��


    The man and woman both did not speak, but stared fixedly at Ye Yuan, their whole body trembling.


    The woman gently took off her face-gauze, revealing a face that could topple kingdoms.


    When A��Xiu saw this girl, she also could not help feeling ashamed of her unworthiness.


    She was somewhat marveling with admiration in her heart, how could there be such a beautiful girl in the world?


    However, the girl��s state did not seem to be quite right.


    She was too agitated. Taking off the face-gauze, her clothes were already drenched by tears.


    She looked at Ye Yuan and said agitatedly, ��Young Master, Lu-er knew that you��d definitely be fine! Definitely be fine!��

 Chapter 2208 - This Guy Needs Stimulus!

    ��Young Master? Miss, did you get the wrong person?�� Ye Yuan could not help being stunned and said.


    Lu-er��s expression changed wildly. Her beautiful body trembled fiercely as she said in puzzlement, ��Young Master, I��m Lu-er. You �� You don��t recognize me anymore?��


    Over 60 years on tenterhooks, Lu-er��s footprints practically covered everywhere in the Middle Realms. Finally, she saw Ye Yuan today.


    Who could have thought that they would fail to recognize each other despite meeting!


    What kind of huge blow was this?


    Lu-er��s head spun, practically about to faint away.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, trying hard to remember something.


    He really could not remember anything, but he kept feeling that he seemed to have been acquainted with Lu-er.


    ��Miss, you know me? Sorry, I��ve already lost my memories for many years and really can��t remember anything anymore,�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    But A��Xiu��s brows furrowed, having an appearance akin to facing a great enemy.


    Could it be that this lady was A��Ning��s lover?


    If this was the case �� then wouldn��t she not have any hope at all?


    In front of Lu-er��s looks that could topple kingdoms, she really did not have any confidence at all.


    ��Right! If an accident didn��t happen, how could Young Master possibly not come back and find me?�� Lu-er looked at Ye Yuan and said with a painful smile.


    ��Ye Yuan, you scoundrel! I entrusted Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli to you! Forget that you didn��t bring her out, but now, you actually even forgot your own name and don��t remember anyone anymore? To think that you still repeatedly called for Li-er in the past, you��ve completely forgotten about her now, right?�� The man beside Lu-er suddenly flew into a rage.


    This man was none other than precisely Lin Changqing!


    To talk about this Lin Changqing, he was truly infatuated with Yue Mengli.


    Along with the passing of time, there was already no one who thought that Ye Yuan was still alive.


    But Lin Changqing did not give up even when there was no news about Yue Mengli.


    Hence, he followed along with Lu-er and drifted for over 60 years, searching for Ye Yuan.


    The only clue was that the glimpse of golden light back then flew in the east direction.


    Hence, the two people followed along the Angry Nether River and went east, searching city by city.


    During this, they also obtained many clues before. But in the end, they always returned disappointed.


    Hope became increasingly more bleak. Lin Changqing also did not harbor much hope in his heart anymore.


    It was Lu-er��s persistence that made them keep on walking until now.


    As the saying ��Heaven rewards the faithful,�� going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties, they finally saw Ye Yuan.


    But who knew that it was such a situation.


    When Lin Changqing saw Ye Yuan��s appearance, these few years of grievance finally erupted thoroughly.


    When Ye Yuan heard ��Mengli�� two words, his heart ached for no reason.


    ��Hey! Who are you! To dare shout at A��Ning in Chen Village, do you know where this place is?�� A��Xiu immediately blocked in front of Ye Yuan and berated them.


    These few years, the people who came to Chen Village were all reverent and respectful. No one dared to shout and wrangle in front of Ye Yuan.


    Hence, Chen Village��s people, including A��Xiu, developed the habit of considering themselves superior.


    Seeing Lin Changqing flew off the handle, A��Xiu naturally yelled.


    ��Get lost! It has nothing to do with you here!��


    Lin Changqing��s palm pushed lightly. A��Xiu��s entire person immediately flew out.


    But he had a sense of propriety when he made his move. Although A��Xiu was injured, it was not serious.


    ��A��Xiu!�� Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, glaring at Lin Changqing after that.


    Lin Changqing also looked at Ye Yuan coldly and said with a cold snort, ��Since you don��t remember anything, then I��ll beat you until you remember!��


    Bang!


    A terrifying aura released, the entire house was blasted to ashes.


    Everyone in Chen Village was startled and gathered around one after another.


    ��This �� What a strong aura! What boundary powerhouse is this young man?��


    ��Could it be �� True God Realm?��


    ��Sh*t! A��Ning��s strength can still deal with Celestial Deities, but I��m afraid that it��s inadequate to deal with True God Realm powerhouses!��


    �� ��


    Chen Village��s villagers were long already not ignorant people.


    They already had a great understanding of this Heavenspan World��s division in cultivation realms.


    These few years, they had also seen before many powerhouses, even Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses.


    But no one had ever given them such a powerful pressure before.


    Within 100 thousand feet, they were practically all unable to stand!


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing did not say a word, raising his hand. He punched toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was caught off-guard and directly blasted out by that single punch!


    ��Hahaha, why didn��t you retaliate? Back then, weren��t you very cocky in Fallen Maple Bodhidharma? Didn��t you say that I��m not from the same world as you? What about now? You look at yourself, just like a dog! If it wasn��t for me showing mercy, you��d already be dead just now!�� Lin Changqing let out a wild laugh as he said.


    Actually, toward Ye Yuan, he was long already wholeheartedly convinced.


    Having witnessed Ye Yuan��s methods, he was clear in his heart that it was simply impossible for him and Ye Yuan to be in the same world!


    Persisting until today, he just could not feel at ease about Yue Mengli and wanted to seek confirmation about her safety from Ye Yuan��s mouth, that was all.


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually became like this.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up, his gaze becoming icy-cold.


    ��Everybody fall back!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    The villagers all had solemn expressions, retreating one after another.


    Lin Changqing sneered when he saw the situation and said, ��Oh? Angry? You��re just a cripple now. You don��t even have divine essence, while your fleshly body only just recovered 30-40% strength. This bit of strength, still want to deal with this Empyrean?��


    Lu-er frowned and said, ��Lin Changqing!��


    Lin Changqing waved his hand and said nonchalantly, ��Relax, I won��t kill this guy! This guy needs a stimulus!��


    Lu-er opened her mouth but did not stop it in the end.


    Perhaps this could be regarded as a method.


    By the side, the villagers were all stricken dumb with amazement!


    This empyrean!


    Heavenly Empyrean!


    Only an Empyrean powerhouse would call themselves this Empyrean!


    This young man was actually an Empyrean powerhouse!


    Too terrifying.


    Even if they were already no longer what they used to be, Empyrean powerhouses were still existences that they were unable to imagine.


    Could it be that this Empyrean was actually old acquaintances with A��Ning?


    Lin Changqing laughed and said, ��Today, this Empyrean is going to trample you underfoot!��


    Swoosh!


    Lin Changqing did not say another word. Raising his hand, it was another punch.


    Bang!


    The void trembled wildly. This time, Ye Yuan was blasted flying!


    On the contrary, it was Lin Changqing who was shocked until he fell back several steps in a row.


    His pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Instant array formation! How is it possible? This guy doesn��t even have a trace of divine essence, and yet he can actually perform instant array formation?��


    In that instant just now, Ye Yuan laid down an array formation, blocking Lin Changqing��s attack.


    Of course, Lin Changqing did not bring out his true strength.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing coldly and said, ��Even if you know me, you also can��t bully A��Xiu! This score, I��m going to settle it for her!��


    Lin Changqing smiled coldly and said, ��So what if bully her? Heh heh, you��re indeed not an ordinary guy! I didn��t expect that in such a predicament already, you still have such strength! Today, this Empyrean wants to see to what extent your instant array formation can achieve!��


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing��s divine essence erupted, his strength immediately soaring significantly.


    ��Haha, be careful! This Empyrean is coming!��


    Lin Changqing��s aura skyrocketed, directly rushing over toward Ye Yuan.


    Such power already reached the True God Realm.


    How had the villagers seen before such shocking power? Each and every one of them was shocked until they stared dumbfounded with their mouths agape. They could not help worrying for Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2209 - Achieving Mastery Through Comprehensive Study, Divine Soul

    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The earth-shaking loud bangs spreaded throughout the wilderness.


    The more Lin Changqing fought, the more alarmed he got!


    His strength already rose to the limits of True God Realm, but Ye Yuan relied on array formations and blocked off all of his attacks!


    Why was this fellow still so strong after being wrecked until like this?


    ��I don��t believe that I can��t crack your tortoiseshell!��


    Lin Changqing��s temper also flared up. His aura suddenly soared wildly, directly breaking through to the Empyrean Realm!


    The moment his Empyrean Realm��s aura appeared, heaven and earth changed colors because of it.


    In this wilderness, he was an unrivaled celestial.


    On Jingning Mountain, when those fierce beasts felt this horrifying pressure. Each and every one of them fled at full speed, all helter-skelter.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp. The movements of his hands became increasingly profound.


    In this cycle of 60 years, Ye Yuan read extensively on Formation Dao and refining pills. Even he himself also did not know what kind of realm he reached.


    But without a doubt, he was very formidable!


    Through a cycle of 60 years�� worth of operations, Ye Yuan hoarded many divine essence stones in his hands. It was sufficient to use to lay down formations.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Another series of wanton bombardments.


    But the power of Ye Yuan��s array formations actually rose another level out of the blue, blocking Lin Changqing��s attacks in its entirety.


    The villagers were long already struck dumb from watching. Only at this time did they know what kind of terrifying realm A��Ning��s strength reached!


    ��It turns out that this is A��Ning��s true strength!��


    ��My God, our Chen Village actually picked up a Seven-star Alchemy God!��


    Chen Yan��s gaze flickered and he said, ��I��m afraid that �� A��Ning isn��t an ordinary Seven-star Alchemy God! Sigh, this day finally still had to arrive!��


    Talking until here, Chen Yan��s expression dimmed.


    He felt that the day of Ye Yuan��s departure was probably arriving!


    Over these 60 years�� time, Ye Yuan brought to the Chen Village an earthshaking transformation, bringing them to another world.


    Presently, their Chen Village��s strength could virtually sweep across any capital city!


    In just 60 years, to ordinary martial artists, it was not even enough to cultivate from initial-stage Grotto Profound to middle-stage Grotto Profound.


    But Ye Yuan forcefully created a Divine Lord village.


    What kind of terrifying strength was this!


    The more Lin Changqing fought, the more alarmed he became, and the more force his hands exerted too.


    Right now, he already fused two kinds of law powers but was still unable to breach Ye Yuan��s array formations.


    Damn it! Failed to stimulate this guy, while I��m forced to use all my strength instead! A trash who doesn��t even have divine essence actually forced out my full strength! Is this guy still human? Lin Changqing secretly cursed in his heart.


    Ye Yuan refreshed Ling Changqing��s view on life once more.


    The current Ye Yuan was simply a cripple.


    But even if Ye Yuan became a cripple, he still could not find any sense of superiority.


    ��Don��t care anymore! Serves you right if I beat you to death!��


    Lin Changqing��s heart burned with fire, with the strength of Second Firmament Empyrean directly bursting forth.


    Three kinds of fused law power made the void start to tremble.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Another series of wanton bombardments!


    This time, Ye Yuan finally could not quite hold on anymore.


    Those array formations collapsed faster and faster under the bombardment of three kinds of fused law powers!


    ��Hahaha �� see how you be cocky still! This time, I must beat you until you submit!�� Lin Changqing was delighted in his heart as he said with a big laugh.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan actually already shut his eyes!


    ��Mn? Something��s wrong!��


    Lin Changqing instinctively felt that something was not right. Ye Yuan��s array formations seemed to show signs of achieving mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject under his heavy pressure!


    The recoil force became stronger and stronger!


    With Lin Changqing��s eyesight, he could naturally tell.


    Although the power of Ye Yuan��s array formations previously was extremely strong, they were all some scattered array formations that were not assembled.


    Each and every array formation was disjointed.


    But now, these messy array formations actually had signs of integrating into one!


    ��This guy is actually borrowing me to temper array formations! Freak! Truly a freak! Fine, since that��s the case, as you wish!��


    Lin Changqing gave a cold cry and finally drew his long sword.


    Bluecloud Truefeather Sword!


    Lin Changqing��s strongest attack!


    Three fused power of laws virtually sundered the void.


    Everyone��s expressions changed wildly, crying out in shock.


    Lu-er even gave a tender cry, roaring angrily, ��Lin Changqing, what are you doing?��


    She completely did not have time to think too much, running like mad toward Ye Yuan.


    At this time, she only had one thought, that was to save Ye Yuan!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes, his hands instantly firing out several thousand pieces of high-grade divine essence stones.


    At the same time, an incomparably profound aura of law suddenly descended, landing on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array, seal!��


    A cold cry came out of Ye Yuan��s mouth, the grand array suddenly formed.


    In an instant, the entire space was frozen.


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing��s Bluecloud Truefeather Sword landed on the grand array, but the grand array did not budge an inch!


    Done with these, Ye Yuan no longer took any action and sat down cross-legged, allowing the aura of laws to descend freely.


    Inside the array formation, Lin Changqing cried out in surprise and said, ��This also works? This guy comprehended just like that?��


    He suddenly realized that he was still inside the cage and shouted madly, ��Let me out, you damn fellow!��


    This Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array was incomparably solid, sealing shut all of the space. His Bluecloud Truefeather Sword was unable to leave behind a mark. Wanting to escape was simply a fool��s talk.


    During these 60 years, Ye Yuan had browsed through no idea how many Alchemy Dao records and created God knows how many major and minor array formations.


    It could be said to have gathered the forte of different schools.


    These abilities seemed to be imprinted in his body.


    Even if he did not remember anything, he could still rely on his instincts and comprehend them thoroughly.


    It was just that in the wake of his Formation Dao and Alchemy Dao strength becoming stronger and stronger, he naturally encountered a bottleneck.


    During these 60 years, all that he learned was overly multifarious, being unable to fuse them into one.


    But today, under Lin Changqing��s pressure, bit by bit, Ye Yuan finally broke through his limits and achieved mastery of everything through comprehensive study, successfully comprehending this heaven-defying grand array.


    While on the other hand, Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao realm also achieved success without extra effort and was about to break through to the middle-stage Ancestor Realm!


    This power of law was the reward for him!


    Law descending, the aura of Ye Yuan��s divine soul grew stronger and stronger.


    Lin Changqing cried out in surprise as he said, ��This guy��s Alchemy Dao broke through! Divine soul recovery, wonder whether or not his memories can recover!��


    Lu-er had a look of pleasant surprise as she said, ��Definitely can! Definitely can!��


    The villagers looked at this scene. Feeling the holy aura coming off Ye Yuan��s body, they could not resist prostrating in worship.


    Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said, ��Turns out that this is A��Ning��s original strength! He��s not somebody in the same world with us at all!��


    By the side, A��Xiu bit her lips lightly, tears falling from her eyes.


    When Chen Yan saw this scene, he could not help secretly sighing in his heart.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan finally slowly opened both eyes.


    ��I, Ye Yuan, finally returned!��


    That moment she saw Ye Yuan��s eyes, Lu-er knew that her young master had returned again!


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu-er and said with a sigh, ��Lu-er, it��s been hard on you these few years!��

 Chapter 2210 - Giving a Peach, Returning a Plum

    Lu-er burrowed into Ye Yuan��s embrace. Shaking her head, she sobbed as she said, ��It wasn��t hard on Lu-er. It was Young Master who had it tough!��


    How could she not understand? Ye Yuan becoming like this, he must have experienced a great battle without equal inside that Blackflame Cave.


    Young Master was just one person!


    What he shouldered back then, who could understand?


    Ye Yuan sighed again and said, ��It��s just a pity that I didn��t bring Li-er back.��


    At this time, Ye Yuan stepped into the middle-stage Ancestor Realm, his divine soul recovering, and became even stronger than before.


    The events inside the Blackflame Cave, he already remembered all of them.


    He and Nineorigin experienced a life-and-death great battle, triggering an enormous space-time black hole.


    Nineorigin was seriously injured. He was also similarly heavily wounded on the verge of death.


    Ye Yuan could feel that the power of Divine Stele Injecting Spirit in his body disappeared completely.


    Looks like it should be the golden dragon in his body that saved him at the critical juncture.


    It was just that �� Li-er probably could not return anymore!


    Ye Yuan was mournful in his heart. He did not know what kind of world was the abyss, but wanting to bring Li-er back from there was harder than ascending to the heavens.


    There was no need to talk about the might of abyss monsters, the Divine Race��s strength was even above the abyss monsters.


    Ye Yuan��s power alone was too meager.


    ��Young Master, Elder Sister Li-er will definitely be fine!�� Lu-er suddenly stopped crying and said firmly.


    Ye Yuan helped her to wipe away her tears, his gaze unprecedentedly steadfast as he said, ��Mn, will be fine! Even if I trample this sky to pieces, I��ll also bring her back! I think that she��s also waiting for me!��


    This was his solemn promise to Li-er through the air!


    Inside the array formation, Lin Changqing yelled loudly, ��Hey! Are you guys done chatting? If you��re done, let me out!��


    These two chattered for half a day, directly treating him as air.


    Yet, this array formation was like an iron cage, he was unable to budge it in the slightest.


    Only then did Ye Yuan remember Lin Changqing. Hence, he casually waved his hand and dispelled the array formation.


    Lin Changqing came before Ye Yuan, an expression like he had seen a ghost as he said unhappily, ��You this fellow, are really disgusting. Already became a cripple and you��re actually still so formidable!��


    Lin Changqing was really incomparably shocked in his heart. Ye Yuan was actually still able to force him into a hopeless situation under such a state.


    This kind of thing was simply fantastical!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Lin Changqing, still got to thank you a lot this time! Without you, don��t know I��ll have to wait until when to recover my memories!��


    It was really all thanks to Lin Changqing this time. Otherwise, for him to want to reconcile what he learned these few years, he would probably still have to wait until god knows how long.


    Lin Changqing rolled his eyes and said, ��Don��t give me that! I didn��t do it for you! But speaking of which, what on earth did you experience inside that Blackflame Cave? Why did you become like this? Also, where��s Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli?��


    Although he knew that the likelihood of Yue Mengli returning was very low, he still could not resist asking Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and briefly recounted the events back then.


    Of course, he skipped over the matter of pulling Nineorigin into the chaos world and having a great battle.


    This sort of thing was too earth-shaking. He did not want to let people know.


    A Third Firmament Empyrean had a life-and-death great battle with an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor in his small world, and he even forcefully knocked the other party down a major cultivation realm.


    If this matter spread out, no idea what kind of storm it would stir.


    But even so, it was also sufficient to set the world on fire already.


    Ye Yuan faced the Divine Race and abyss monster army by himself, and he wiped out the other party��s abyss monsters below late-stage Empyrean Realm.


    This battle achievement could be rated as freakish!


    Lin Changqing had entered the Blackflame Cave before and knew how strong these abyss monsters were.


    Even if he fused the power of three laws, he could at most fight to a draw with same rank abyss monsters.


    But Ye Yuan actually slaughtered so many abyss monsters whose realms were even higher than his with his power alone!


    Furthermore, he even escaped outside.


    Closing his eyes and he also knew how miserable the battle situation back then was.


    If it were others, even if they had a thousand lives, they would also have died inside.


    Bang!


    Lin Changqing suddenly smashed a fist hard on Ye Yuan��s chest and said furiously, ��Punk, I��ll forgive you this time! But when your strength becomes powerful, you have to fetch Junior Apprentice Sister Mengli back! Otherwise, I definitely won��t let you off!��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said coolly, ��Doesn��t seem like it��s your turn to come and say these words.��


    Lin Changqing was greatly enraged, but recalling Ye Yuan��s mysterious array formation, he could only pull back hatefully.


    Actually, Ye Yuan knew what kind of feelings Lin Changqing said this sentence with, and felt very warm in his heart.


    No matter what, this fellow��s concern toward Li-er was not fake.


    Otherwise, he also would not have accompanied Lu-er to look for him for so many years.


    ��Do you have rank seven spirit medicines on you?�� Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.


    Lin Changqing was taken aback and said, ��I do, why?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Take them all out, let me see.��


    Lin Changqing had a strange expression and took all of the rank seven spirit medicines on him out, and asked curiously, ��What are you trying to do?��


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the rank seven spirit medicines on Lin Changqing and said with a nod, ��Worthy of coming out from a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda, your finances are still quite abundant. This time, being able to reconcile my knowledge and recover my memories, it��s a huge favor from you. I��ll help you refine a few medicinal pills. Take it as returning your favor.��


    Lin Changqing��s eyes became wide-saucers and he said with a look of disbelief, ��You �� You want to use array formation to refine rank seven divine pills?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You just watch.��


    Ye Yuan��s feet moved swiftly, one divine essence stone after another shooting out, and started setting up the array formation.


    Lin Changqing��s heart shook wildly. He naturally knew Formation Dao Pill Refinement, but he had never heard before that someone could refine rank seven divine pills with Formation Dao.


    The higher the rank of the medicinal pill was, the more difficult it would be. The degree of complexity was what normal people could not imagine at all.


    Let alone that the things involved in Formation Dao Pill Refinement were a hundred times, a thousand times more complicated than directly refining the pill.


    Many Seven-star Alchemy Gods did not even figure out ordinary pill refinement. How could they have the ability to refine rank seven divine pills with Formation Dao?


    What on earth did this guy experience these few years?


    One array formation after another connected together, becoming more and more complicated, and increasingly colossal.


    Finally, an array formation actually occupied more than half of the village!


    Such a colossal and complicated array formation, just looking at it gave people a headache, let alone talk about setting it up.


    Ye Yuan played the rank seven spirit medicines in the center of the array formation. Casually throwing out a piece of divine essence stone, he gave a low cry, saying, ��Formation, arise!��


    The divine essence stone thrown out hit a piece of divine essence stone inside the array formation. Then, it seemed to have turned on the domino effect, the entire array formation was lit up very quickly.


    Bang!


    Terrifying heaven and earth spiritual energy instantly swarmed around from all directions, forming a massive spiritual energy tempest.


    Following that, this grand array sent out a magical scene.


    Inside the array formation, there were the sun, the moon, and the stars revolving without rest, as if it formed a world.


    Lin Changqing seemingly became solemn. It was still his first time seeing such a magical alchemy technique. His mouth openly widely, unable to close for a long time.


    No idea how long had passed. Finally, the array formation stopped. A medicinal pill suspended in the air quietly, emitting a thick medicinal fragrance.


    Lin Changqing��s entire body trembled as he said in disbelief, ��This �� This is an end spirit divine pill! An end spirit Emergence Spirit Ascension Pill!��

 Chapter 2211 - Large Enemy Force Bearing down upon the Border

    Emergence Spirit Ascension Pill, rank seven divine pill


    After an Empyrean consumed it, it could improve cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks.


    It was just a normal medicinal pill. However, a medicinal pill that had reached end spirit, it was no longer ordinary!


    Lin Changqing was currently a Second Firmament Empyrean. With this Emergence Spirit Ascension Pill, Lin Changqing would not have any more obstacles all the way until he broke through to become a Fourth Firmament Empyrean.


    Furthermore, this process would be greatly shortened!


    With Lin Changqing��s talent, breaking through to become a Fourth Firmament Empyrean within a few thousand years was nothing difficult.


    But with this medicinal pill, the process would be cut down by at least ten times!


    This was also to say that Lin Changqing would break through to the Fourth Firmament Empyrean Realm within one to two centuries.


    This kind of cultivation speed, when placed among those in the Empyrean Realm, it was simply fantastical!


    Lin Changqing looked at Ye Yuan and was shocked until his jaw was almost hitting the ground.


    ��You �� You freak! How can there be a person like you in this world?�� Lin Changqing said speechlessly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��With the abyss monsters and the Divine Race coming into being, I��m afraid that the world is about to be thrown into chaos. After you go back, you still have to warn Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple and let him build up strength. This is to prepare for unforeseen events. I��ve once heard before that a long time ago, an apocalyptic battle had once occurred before. I��m afraid that the crisis this time won��t be inferior to the Doomsday Battle!��


    Lin Changqing was startled in his heart, his expression turning somber.


    Regarding Doomsday Battle this term, it was clear that it was tragic to the extreme.


    Probably when the time came, no one in the Heavenspan World could escape by sheer luck!


    He nodded his head solemnly and said, ��You rest assured. I��ll send the news back and let Master make preparations early. Rather, the problem is you. You��re a cripple now. What will you do?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, I have my own way. Being quiet here for these several decades, I have made some accomplishments.��


    Lin Changqing��s gaze flickered slightly, startled in his heart.


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest signs of divine essence flowing in his body. It was clearly the symptom of a small world collapsing.


    The small world was the lifeblood of a martial artist. Even if there was a trace of damage, the price paid would be tremendous too.


    Considering Ye Yuan��s situation, it was likely that his small world had already nearly collapsed and was simply unable to accommodate divine essence anymore.


    This kind of situation, this fellow had a way to restore it too?


    Lin Changqing��s eyes revealed a half-dubious look.


    ��Alright, looking at your pathetic appearance, this Empyrean will give you a lift!�� Lin Changqing��s mouth curled as he said.


    Ye Yuan was not pretentious either, saying with a nod, ��I��ll have to trouble you.��


    His divine essence was completely lost currently, fleshy body yet to recover, a long journey would take great effort.


    With Lin Changqing this Empyrean around, it was much more convenient.


    ��A��Ning!��


    At this time, A��Xiu suddenly rushed out. Looking at Ye Yuan, her eyes were blurred with tears.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��A��Xiu, I��ve already recovered my memories. These few years, thank you so much for your and Grandpa Yan��s care! I��m called Ye Yuan, and I��m from the Southern Border��s Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. If we��re fated �� we��ll meet again.��


    He and A��Xiu were ultimately not people of the same world.


    Rather than clinging on obstinately, it was better to cut the Gordian knot.


    Hence, even if there was a thousand unwillingness, Ye Yuan did not express it either.


    A��Xiu could not hold back anymore, tears bursting out.


    In the end, she could only nod her head. She said, chokingly, ��Take care!��


    Ye Yuan said goodbye to Chen Yan and the rest, and then he left together with Lin Changqing and Lu-er.


    He had a score in his heart. The current Heavenly Eagle was likely long already in a complete mess!


    �� ��


    The reality was not too far from what Ye Yuan expected.


    With how vast the Southern Border was, there would always be some people who were well-informed.


    The demon race��s Sacrificial Temple established the Second Sage. This matter caused a great sensation. Hence, the Southern Border naturally knew as well.


    But later, they discovered that this Second Sage was actually the Ye Yuan who brought the entire Southern Border to its knees with his power alone back then!


    This shock was by no means insignificant.


    But several decades ago, another news came over that Ye Yuan��s died in the Middle Realms, and the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was a host of dragons without a leader.


    With this, everyone��s thoughts started stirring.


    In the Southern Border��s alchemy world, this was a huge piece of cake.


    But at present, the largest share of this huge piece of cake was grasped in the hands of the Myriad Treasure Tower and the seven great ancient families.


    These were two leviathans, the others did not dare to provoke.


    However, the tiny Heavenly Eagle Imperial City became a fat piece of meat in everyone��s eyes currently.


    Because among the three forces that grasped the pill formulas, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was the weakest.


    The Southern Border Alliance began to cast covetous eyes toward Heavenly Eagle Imperial City with Empyrean Pilljade as the leader.


    Fortunately, with Empyrean Flutterfeather��s protection, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City ultimately made it through many years.


    But along with the passage of time, the news of Ye Yuan��s demise was confirmed. Many discordant voices also appeared within the Myriad Treasure Tower. Empyrean Flutterfeather��s pressure grew greater and greater.


    After all, no matter how strong Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was, he was also just one of the Southern Border��s many Heavenly Emperors.


    With the other Heavenly Emperors joining hands to apply pressure, he also had no choice but to be wary.


    Hence, these few years, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City began to fall into a precarious situation.


    At this time, inside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, everyone was jittery.


    Above the top of city walls, Bai Tong brought everyone in Heavenly Eagle, his expression being solemn.


    In the distance, countless black dots were currently closing in here rapidly.


    Bai Tong secretly sighed and said, ��Looks like that kid can��t make it in time! I just don��t know if he��s still alive or not.��


    That kid he was talking about was naturally Ye Yuan.


    ��His Excellency definitely won��t die!�� Ning Tianping said with a firm look.


    Bai Tong smiled bitterly and said, ��Whether or not he��s dead, I don��t know. How to pass this hurdle today? Empyrean Pilljade brought the entire Southern Border��s alchemy world, and they came in a threatening manner. With this, Heavenly Eagle will likely face a catastrophic calamity!��


    The other people��s faces turned deathly pale, all having looks of despair on their faces.


    After being in a stalemate for several decades, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure finally still maintained silence under the pressure of the various parties.


    Hence, today, the Southern Border Alliance with Empyrean Pilljade as the leader, came bearing down upon the border in a large force!


    How fast was the speed of the group of Empyreans? They arrived in an instant.


    Empyrean Pilljade was high up above. Looking down at everyone below, he said with a cold smile, ��Back then, that kid wreaked havoc at the Cloudpill Summit. He was so arrogant and domineering! He probably never dreamed that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City would experience this today, right?��


    By the side, the Empyrean Proudcloud who was once forced into a hopeless situation by Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, ��That punk was arrogant and domineering, looking down on everything and everyone. He didn��t place us, these seniors, in his sights at all! This kind of person, dying outside is something sooner or later! Today, we��ll eradicate Heavenly Eagle Imperial City and take the pill formulas. This Southern Border will be our Southern Border Alliance��s world again!��


    Empyrean Pilljade nodded slightly. These few years, he had also spent it heavily oppressed.


    But today, he was going to gain back all the ground!


    He, Empyrean Pilljade, was still the Southern Border��s number one Empyrean!


    Empyrean Pilljade looked down and said in a clear voice, ��Yi-er, come here!��


    The Yi-er that he was talking about was naturally the Yun Yi who took Ye Yuan as his master.


    For so many years, he let Yun Yi do as he wished. It was actually in order to obtain Ye Yuan��s trust.


    These few years, Yun Yi��s status in Heavenly Eagle was extremely high and already took charge of the Pill Tower. He was one of the leaders of Heavenly Eagle.


    Pilljade was clear in his heart that Yun YI must have already grasped the secret of the pill formulas.


    Everything was within his scheme.


    At this time, everyone��s gazes focused on Yun Yi.


    ��Heh heh, Ye Yuan that brat is a fool! Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson, he actually put him in an important position!��


    ��Isn��t that so! If it were me, I��d have long chased him away!��


    ��I heard that Yun Yi improved at an incredible speed these few years and already reached the middle-stage Dao Realm! Furthermore, he must have grasped some pill formulas�� secrets!��


    �� ��


    Quite a number of people were whispering with each other at Pilljade��s side.

 Chapter 2212 - What in the World Are You Persevering For?

    Under everyone��s eyes, Yun Yi slowly stepped forward.


    Empyrean Pilljade had a slight smile on his face as he said with a nod, ��Yi-er, this Empyrean knows that it��s been tough on you these few years! In the entire Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital, only you are the most suitable to inherit my mantle! In the future, you��ll be Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital��s master!��


    He was very satisfied with this great-grandson. Putting aside that he was exceedingly talented, he could even win Ye Yuan��s trust.


    Especially back then, he could remain patient and insist on not leaving. It made Empyrean Pilljade sit up and take notice of him even more.


    Had the right character, had talent; he was naturally the most suitable candidate to inherit his position.


    Yun Yi��s expression was complicated. He looked at Empyrean Pilljade and had nothing to say for a while.


    When Empyrean Pilljade saw that Yun Yi did not react. His brows could not help furrowing and he said, ��Yi-er, why haven��t you come over!��


    Yun Yi drew a deep breath and directly knelt down, and said in a clear voice, ��Lord Great-Grandfather, can you let Heavenly Eagle Imperial City off on the account of Yi-er��s face?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed.


    Was this guy mad?


    That was his own great-grandfather!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s brows knitted tightly as he said in a solemn voice, ��Yi-er, do you know what you��re saying?��


    Yun Yi nodded and said, ��Master��s kindness toward me is as weighty as a mountain. He really taught me pill refinement techniques and pointed the way to a bright future for me! These few hundred years, Yi-er can be described as thoroughly remolded myself! In front of such great kindness, Yi-er is unable to betray Master and watch Heavenly Eagle without lending a helping hand!��


    Yun Yi��s words came from the bottom of his heart.


    Only all the way until he entered the Pill Tower did he know what was called true Alchemy Dao!


    In these several hundred years, he could be described as casting off his old self and being reborn.


    The present Yun Yi was long already not the Yun Yi back then.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not hoard anything from him and viewed him as a true successor, teaching him pill refinement.


    A master is like one��s father!


    In Yun Yi��s heart, he had long already taken Ye Yuan as his elder and treated him as his Alchemy Dao guide, as well as �� treating him as a God-like senior.


    Making him betray Ye Yuan, he could not do it!


    ��Unfilial child! Don��t you forget your identity!�� Empyrean Pilljade said furiously.


    Yun Yi��s way of doing things seriously made him lose face. It was simply blatant face-slapping.


    His own descendant was actually standing on the enemy��s side.


    Yun Yi had a resolute look as he said, ��Lord Great-Grandfather, Yun Yi doesn��t dare to forget my identity for a second! Just like back then, when Master asked Yi-er to betray Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital. Now, making Yi-er betray Heavenly Eagle, I can��t do it either! Great-Grandfather, please raise your hand high up in mercy and leave.��


    Empyrean Pilljade said with a cold snort, ��If I say no?��


    Yun Yi seemed to have long expected it and said in a solemn voice, ��Then Yi-er can only die together with Heavenly Eagle!��


    As he said, he turned around and returned to the top of the city walls, and stood side by side with Bai Tong.


    ��Good! Good! Good! To think that I, Pilljade, was wise for a lifetime, but I actually raised such an unfilial descendant like you! Forget it! This Empyrean will take it as I didn��t have you, this offspring!��


    Empyrean Pilljade repeatedly said ��good�� three times. It could be seen how furious he was currently.


    His gaze turned dark as he said in a clear voice, ��People in the city listen up! This Empyrean came here today to avenge my enmity with Ye Yuan punk! Those who are Ye Yuan��s sworn followers all have to be rounded up in one fell swoop today! But this Empyrean cares about the welfare of every living thing and doesn��t wish to implicate the innocent. Right now, anyone who steps forward and surrenders, this Empyrean can spare their lives and let bygones be bygones! In fact, Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital will even have a place for you!��


    Taking revenge was one thing, but what Empyrean Pilljade valued more was the pill formulas!


    Pill formulas were the future of the Southern Border Alliance.


    Right now, the Southern Border Alliance was just the Myriad Treasure Tower��s distributor, their profits being pitifully meager.


    But with pill formulas, everything would be different!


    There was also one thing. The medicinal pills that Heavenly Eagle produced, the quality was higher than those at other places!


    What did this indicate?


    This showed that Heavenly Eagle��s alchemists had high standards!


    Heavenly Eagle��s Pill Tower��s alchemists were all pillars of society. Their strength far surpassed those in the same rank.


    With so many talented people, killing them would be too wasteful.


    What Empyrean Pilljade pursued was benefits and not slaughter.


    Hence, before he took care of Heavenly Eagle, he naturally had to solicit some alchemists.


    Under the Southern Border Alliance��s army, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was long already as precarious as a stack of eggs piled on top of one another.


    Pilljade had faith that as long as these alchemists were not fools, they would size up the situation.


    But one breath passed.


    Three breaths passed.


    Ten breaths passed.


    No one stepped forward!


    Not a single one!


    Pilljade��s expression became increasingly uglier and he said in a solemn voice, ��You all rest assured, with this Empyrean around, no one from Heavenly Eagle will dare to make a move against you all!��


    Southern Border Alliance this side had as many experts as clouds. He himself was even a Ninth Firmament Empyrean peerless expert.


    This battle did not have any suspense at all.


    But there was still no one who came out.


    ��Empyrean Pilljade, give up on this! No one will go with you! We��ll live and die together with Heavenly Eagle!��


    ��Stop trying to win popular support here! Who doesn��t know that you��re coveting the pill formulas! Still putting on an appearance here, don��t you find it disgraceful?��


    ��Stop dreaming! Even if we die, we��ll also bring the pill formulas into the coffin! If you have the ability, go find Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great ancient families to ask for pill formulas!��


    �� ��


    All of a sudden, a series of noisy voices came from the city.


    The martial artists and alchemists in the city all let loose a torrent of abuse towards Empyrean Pilljade.


    Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression was livid with rage, and was incredibly shocked in his heart.


    Could it be that Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s civilians were all a bunch of desperate people who did not fear death?


    Was there such a place in the entire Heavenspan World?


    Why?


    Why did these guys rather die than be willing to surrender?


    Hearing the cursing voices that came from here, the Southern Border Alliance side was incomparably shocked.


    ��A-Are these guys all lunatics? Could it be that they all aren��t scared of death?��


    ��What the hell kind of place is Heavenly Eagle? Why are all of them like madmen?��


    ��There��s actually no one who surrendered! This �� How is this possible?��


    �� ��


    How could they know that for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to have its present cohesion, it was earned by Ye Yuan with his life!


    Only sincerity could be exchanged with sincerity.


    Relationships that were bound together using benefits ultimately could not go far.


    Bai Tong looked at Empyrean Pilljade and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Stop making futile efforts! Ye Yuan that brat��s abilities aren��t what you can imagine. Even if Heavenly Eagle Imperial City fights until the last soldier, there also won��t be anyone who surrenders. It��s impossible for you to bring away the pill formulas too. Using this scheme on Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, apart from asking for a scolding, there are no benefits at all.��


    Empyrean Pilljade was angered until the muscles on his face were twitching. He did not expect this situation from start to end.


    He thought that once the army arrived, wouldn��t a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City tremble with fear and fall apart to pieces?


    But who knew that these guys were a bunch of lunatics who did not fear death.


    No one escaped!


    No one surrendered too!


    Just what kind of magical power did Ye Yuan this guy have?


    He was clearly already dead. So what were these guys persevering for in the end?


    In the end, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice, ��Very well! Since that��s the case, then all of you can go and die! This Empyrean wants to see if it��s really all tough bones inside this imperial city!��


    Finished talking, he flicked his sleeves grandly. Hundreds of Empyreans and countless True Gods charged over, their momentum astonishing!

 Chapter 2213 - The King Returns!

    ��F*cking hell! I haven��t felt my blood boil with excitement like this for so long! Kill! Kill! Kill! Brothers, kill for me!��


    On top of the city walls, Long Xiao��s scarred face appeared especially savage, bringing a group of brothers and charging over.


    ��Everyone, follow Big Brother Xun! Kill this bunch of foolish humans!�� Long Xun yelled.


    ��What are you fighting me for?! Follow Big Brother Tian and finish off all of these bastards!�� Long Zhaotian was still competing with Long Xun.


    Before coming, Ye Yuan gave them a batch of medicinal pills.


    At present, this group of people already all broke through to the Empyrean Realm.


    Coupled with the dragon race��s powerful bloodline, their combat power could not be underestimated.


    The two camps were akin to two giant curtains in the sky. They were about to gather together very soon.


    As for Empyrean Pilljade, these grandmasters, each and every one of them stood with their hands behind their backs, sitting it out and reaping the spoils later.


    All of a sudden, a figure interjected between the two main camps.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s gaze turned intent and he stopped everyone with a hand gesture, and said with a frown, ��Flutterfeather, what��s the meaning of this? Could it be that your Myriad Treasure Tower is really going to wage war with the Southern Border Alliance?��


    On the surface, this was a war between Empyreans.


    But in reality, it was a group of Heavenly Emperors controlling behind the scenes.


    The reason why it was delayed for several decades was because of Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great reclusive ancient families.


    The Heavenly Emperor faction behind the Southern Border Alliance was competing with these two forces.


    In the past, due to Ye Yuan this important figure being around, these two forces naturally brimmed with confidence toward Heavenly Eagle.


    But along with the passage of time, the hopes of Ye Yuan returning alive became bleaker and bleaker.


    Only then did Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and the seven great reclusive ancient families gradually reach a compromise.


    Otherwise, how could Empyrean Pilljade dare to launch such a large-scale war?


    Behind the war that seemed simple, it involved tremendous profits.


    Flutterfeather looked towards Empyrean Pilljade and said coolly, ��This Empyrean coming today is only representing myself. It has nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower!��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s brows furrowed slightly, showing a look of displeasure.


    Isn��t this guy causing trouble?


    You said that it has nothing to do with the Myriad Treasure Tower and so there is nothing then?


    You, Empyrean Flutterfeather, is a high-ranking officer under Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure, an existence that is extremely likely to become an Eight-star Alchemy God in the future.


    If you died here, wouldn��t Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure risk it all to fight with me?


    At this time, another figure appeared beside Flutterfeather. It was Empyrean Chaoyuan!


    ��Add in this old man! Younger Brother Flutterfeather, I can��t let you fight alone by yourself!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan looked at Flutterfeather and said with a light smile.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression changed. Empyrean Chaoyuan was a peak Empyrean mighty expert, his strength being not worse than his.


    The influence of this fellow��s appearance on the battle situation was big.


    Flutterfeather laughed loudly and said, ��Elder Brother Chaoyuan, good fellow!��


    Empyrean Chaoyuan laughed and said, ��This old man is all alone and doesn��t have any fetters. Rather, it��s you who could put aside Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure that old thing and come help out! You��re the one who��s really loyal enough!��


    The two exchanged a glance and both bursted out a series of laughter.


    Seeing these two people had appeared, Bai Tong and the rest were greatly roused.


    Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression turned livid. He did not expect that this battle without any suspense would actually repeatedly have a sudden turn of events occur.


    Up until now, there did not seem to be a single thing that went his way.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Very good! This Empyrean has always admired Brother Chaoyuan��s strength very much. Today, I��ll spar with Brother Chaoyuan!��


    As for Empyrean Flutterfeather, their side had a lot of powerhouses. There was naturally someone to handle him.


    Empyrean Chaoyuan��s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a big laugh, ��You hypocrite, only choose to hear the nice things! This is a life-and-death fight! Who��s sparring with you? Bring it on!��


    After he was done talking, Empyrean Chaoyuan��s aura was released fully. The horrifying pressure made the hearts of all the martial artists jump.


    If one��s strength did not reach the Empyrean Realm, they were unable to even stand firmly in the air.


    This was a peak Ninth Firmament Empyrean top powerhouse.


    The moment Ninth Firmament Empyreans moved out, this battle became bewildering and confusing.


    Empyrean Pilljade also felt nervous. Empyrean Chaoyuan��s aura was extremely strong and actually faintly had signs of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    ��Looks like this old punk obtained great benefits from the Cloudpill Summit last time!�� Empyrean Pilljade secretly cursed hatefully.


    The moment Empyrean Chaoyuan released his aura, he became somewhat apprehensive.


    Once he lost, this fight would really be hard to say!


    Empyrean Chaoyuan smiled coldly when he saw the situation and said, ��Why? Don��t dare to come anymore, Pilljade brat?��


    Pilljade��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Who��s scared of whom?!��


    Done talking, the power of Ninth Firmament Empyrean was released fully. He actually barely managed to stand up to Empyrean Chaoyuan as equals.


    The great battle was at an explosive point!


    ��Yo, so lively!��


    Just as both sides ended up in a deadlock, a voice suddenly sounded out from the void.


    This voice �� seemed to be a little familiar!


    Empyrean Chaoyuan and Empyrean Flutterfeather exchanged a glance, both of their minds quivering.


    On Heavenly Eagle��s side, Bai Tong and the rest similarly felt their minds tremble!


    ��It��s His Excellency! His Excellency didn��t die! His Excellency came back!�� Ning Tianping said with wild elation.


    At this time, the void vibrated. Three figures emerged.


    There was a youth in white clothing in the middle. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��Hahaha, it��s His Excellency! It��s really His Excellency! He didn��t die! He came back!��


    ��What did I say! His Excellency can��t be killed!��


    ��His Excellency is mighty!��


    ��His Excellency is mighty!��


    �� ��


    With Ye Yuan appearing, Heavenly Eagle��s side seemed to have been ignited all at once.


    Their backbone, their spiritual leader, their king finally returned!


    Everyone seemed to have gone mad, shouting, cheering for the lord in their hearts!


    At the opposite side, the Southern Border Alliance��s powerhouses were all extremely shocked.


    They were seriously unable to imagine that the entire imperial city was cheering for Ye Yuan��s return.


    What kind of magical power did this guy have?


    Ye Yuan��s feet stepped on an array formation. Looking at Empyrean Pilljade, he smiled lightly and said, ��Pilljade, not seeing you for a few years, you��re still such a good-for-nothing!��


    Ye Yuan��s sudden appearance gave Empyrean Pilljade a fright.


    However, he discovered very quickly that something seemed to be off about Ye Yuan!


    He actually did not have a trace of divine essence undulation from head to toe!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s vital energy was extremely weak. Clearly, it was a body that was heavily wounded.


    It seemed like the rumors about his demise were not a groundless rumor.


    It was just that this kid had a tenacious life and actually did not die!


    Since he was a cripple, then what did he still take to heart for?


    Pilljade laughed coldly and said, ��Kid, look at those subjects of yours. How much they looked forward to your return! It��s just a pity that �� what awaits them is a cripple! I really don��t know what face a cripple like you still have to come back and be their city lord!��


    The moment these words came out, only then did everyone startle awake.


    They were all immersed in jubilation earlier and did not notice Ye Yuan��s abnormality.


    Now, only upon hearing Empyrean Pilljade��s words did they discover that Ye Yuan��s condition was extremely poor. There �� was not even a trace of divine essence undulation!


    How could this be?


    The Heavenly Eagle side that was still cheering joyfully earlier immediately fell into silence.


    No divine essence undulation signified that the small world had completely crumbled.


    Then wouldn��t His Excellency �� really have become a cripple?


    The morale that had just been roused on Heavenly Eagle��s side was immediately squelched.


    But Ye Yuan did not mind and said with a faint smile, ��So what? With me around, Heavenly Eagle is safe and sound!��

 Chapter 2214 - Just Running an Errand

    Ye Yuan��s words made the minds of Heavenly Eagle��s people tremble!


    His Excellency was still so domineering when speaking!


    No idea why, those words coming out of Ye Yuan��s mouth were so convincing.


    Even if he was currently just a cripple.


    ��With you around, Heavenly Eagle is safe and sound? Hahaha �� really making this Empyrean die of laughter! A cripple who doesn��t even have divine essence actually dares to say this sort of boast!�� Empyrean Pilljade laughed loudly and said.


    The big shots on the Southern Border Alliance��s side also all shook their heads one after another and could not help laughing.


    A trash who did not even have divine essence, why would they take notice of him?


    But Ye Yuan completely ignored Empyrean Pilljade. With a flick of his fingertips, a pale-yellow line appeared between the two main camps. It was as if a line was drawn in the sky.


    ��Those who cross the line will be killed without mercy!�� Ye Yuan��s nonchalant words came out, appearing somewhat careless.


    With this, the Southern Border Alliance��s side ridiculed even harder.


    ��Hahaha, a cripple actually dares to utter this kind of shameless boasting! Everyone, attack for me! I want to see how a cripple can kill us without mercy!�� Empyrean Proudcloud jumped around the happiest, bringing a bunch of subordinates and rushing over.


    ��Wanting to block the entire Southern Border Alliance by drawing a line, you, this cripple, are also overestimating your own ability too much!��


    ��Everybody attack together! See how this cripple kills without mercy!��


    �� ��


    Quite a number of Empyreans completely turned their noses up at Ye Yuan��s threat and brought a large group of people, directly charging over.


    When Pilljade saw this scene, he could not help sneering coldly.


    Although he was being restrained by Empyrean Chaoyuan, both side��s combat strengths were not on the same level at all.


    Ye Yuan��s actions were purely messing around.


    The expressions on Heavenly Eagle��s side changed, Bai Tong and the rest were about to rush over.


    But Ye Yuan turned around and said coolly, ��All back down!��


    Everyone��s faces changed, stopping one after another.


    Soon, the Southern Border Alliance army broke through that line Ye Yuan drew.


    Proudcloud took the lead and said with a cold smile, ��Brat, this Empyrean broke through this line now, what can you do to me? Today, this Empyrean is going to ����


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan��s fingers snapped lightly, and he said indifferently, ��Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array, kill!��


    Above the void, streaks of golden light lit up, slicing space into pieces like countless blades.


    Empyrean Proudcloud��s words were said halfway when suddenly, his whole body was torn apart!


    He could not talk anymore.


    The Third Firmament Empyrean, Empyrean Proudcloud, died!


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s sky, miserable cries suddenly sounded out. The dead bodies of countless powerhouses fell down in succession.


    Powerhouses that crossed that yellow line all died.


    In virtually an instant, the Southern Border Alliance��s side suffered heavy casualties.


    Those powerhouses who had not crossed the line yet turned pale with fright and stopped one after another. How could they still dare to advance?


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with horrified faces, as if they had seen a malefic star.


    In a short dozen over breaths, there were thousands of Empyreans and True Gods that fell.


    However, they did not even know how they died!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s pupils constricted, a pair of eyes glued on Ye Yuan, full of shock.


    Array formation!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan laid down an enormous array formation above the void.


    Those who entered this array formation were all garroted!


    The problem was, even he, this Ninth Firmament Empyrean mighty expert, actually could not tell how Ye Yuan laid down the formation too!


    When did this boy��s array formation attainments become so powerful too?


    Forget about True God Realms, Empyrean Proudcloud was a Third Firmament Empyrean mighty expert, he was actually dismembered like chopping vegetables just like that!


    How great was the power of this array formation?


    It was deathly silent above the void. No one dared to underestimate Ye Yuan this cripple anymore.


    While the Southern Border Alliance army also all stopped before the yellow line. No one dared to take half a step over the line anymore!


    Empyrean Chaoyuan looked toward Empyrean Pilljade with a strange look and said with a cold smile, ��Cripple? Huhu, Pilljade, your eyesight is as poor as before!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    �� ��


    When Heavenly Eagle��s subjects saw this scene, each and every one of them started shouting madly with excitement.


    Even without divine essence, His Excellency��s invincible might still could not be violated!


    Empyrean Pilljade burned with fury. Clenching his jaws tightly, he shouted angrily, ��Ye Yuan punk! This Empyrean wants to see how many tricks you have! Southern Border Alliance, heed my command! All Empyrean powerhouses, attack together! Annihilate Heavenly Eagle!��


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan��s array formation was, it was also impossible to block late-stage Empyrean powerhouses.


    Those grandmasters were all late-stage Empyrean mighty experts. It was simply nothing more than wishful thinking for a mere array formation to want to block them.


    Empyrean Windrider and those grandmaster powerhouses were aware that they could no longer look on with folded arms.


    None of them thought that this act today would actually be forced into such a plight.


    But the arrow was notched and already had no choice but to release.


    Not taking down Heavenly Eagle today, there would no longer be the Southern Border Alliance in the future.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan had to die!


    More than ten late-stage Empyrean super powerhouses moving out, how shocking was the commotion?


    Let alone that there were even several dozen Empyreans behind them!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Gentlemen, listen to this Ye��s word of advice! Withdraw now and everything can still be discussed. Crossing this line, that��s becoming this Ye��s mortal enemy! From this day forth, irreconcilable till death!��


    Empyrean Pilljade burst out laughing when he heard that and said, ��From this day forth? How are you going to have any day after today! Boy, this Empyrean knows that you��re some bullshit Second Sage, but that��s the demon race��s title, are you planning on bringing it to the human race to threaten us? Let me tell you, today, no matter who comes, you can��t be saved either!��


    ��Oh? Is that so?��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s voice had yet to fade when a figure slowly walked out of the void.


    The moment this person appeared, the faces of Empyrean Pilljade and the rest of the powerhouses changed one after another.


    What a terrifying aura!


    This person gave them an unfathomable feeling.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s pupils constricted and he said in a solemn voice, ��No matter who your esteemed self is, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses are not to interfere in worldly affairs! Let alone that you��re even a demon Heavenly Emperor! Could it be that you��re planning on making a move against us at the risk of universal condemnation?��


    The demonic aura on the other party��s body billowed to the sky. How could Empyrean Pilljade not recognize?


    He already roughly guessed the other person��s identity. It was just that he paid no attention to it.


    Forget about the demon race��s Heavenly Emperor, even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest came in person, he also would not dare to behave atrociously in the human race��s territory!


    Heavenly Emperors were not to intervene in worldly affairs. This was the unspoken rule that all Heavenly Emperors abided by.


    Moreover, a demon race��s major power running to the human race territory to kill people, once this sort of thing happens, things would blow up.


    The Heavenly Emperor powerhouse stood with his hands behind his back as he said coolly, ��This emperor is Stardrive under Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s command. I only came over to run an errand. You all don��t have to make a big fuss.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    High Priest Stardrive!


    Those present were mostly involved in alchemy. So how could they not know High Priest Stardrive��s reputation.


    This was one of the 11 disciples under Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s command!


    Hang on, what did he say just now?


    Run an errand?


    What kind of figure was High Priest Stardrive? Who had this qualification to be able to make him run an errand?


    Suddenly, everyone��s gazes shifted to Ye Yuan, being incredibly shocked!

 Chapter 2215 - Chaos Samsara Pill!

    ��R-Run an errand? Do my ears have a problem?��


    ��High Priest Stardrive is a true pinnacle major power. Making him come and run an errand ����


    ��Everyone says that Ye Yuan is the Priest Temple��s Second Sage. I even thought that it was merely nominal. I didn��t expect that �� his status is actually so high!��


    �� ��


    The Southern Border Alliance��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods all opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in extreme shock.


    This sort of thing seriously subverted their understanding too much.


    High Priest Stardrive was a late-stage Eight-star super existence. He had a status that tipped the scales in the entire alchemy world.


    Such a major power, they did not have the good fortune to meet in their lifetimes too.


    But such a major power was actually just here to run an errand?


    However, the following scene affirmed their thoughts even more.


    High Priest Stardrive gave a respectful bow towards Ye Yuan and said, ��Ji Mo offers greetings to Second Sage!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, but his gazes glimmered.


    Seeing Ji Mo this time, he was even more unfathomable than the previous time.


    ��I��ve troubled you to make a trip!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Ji Mo smiled and said, ��No trouble. It is only ought to be.��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Congratulations to Brother Ji Mo for making great improvements in strength!��


    Ji Mo also grinned and gave another bow and said, ��Coming over this time, it��s precisely to thank Second Sage!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Thank what? Being able to comprehend things, that��s your lucky chance.��


    These two people��s conversations made everyone stunned again.


    Concerning High Priest Stardrive��s strength advancing greatly, why did he have to thank Ye Yuan?


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was already strong to the degree that he could casually give pointers to High Priest Stardrive?


    This �� How was this possible?


    However, some Empyreans were well-informed people. Their gazes flickered, seemingly recalling something.


    A grandmaster said, ��I heard that Ye Yuan solved the Eternal Chess Game ��Ask Not�� in the Westspirit Region back then. It was High Priest Stardrive who brought it over! With Ye Yuan solving the game, High Priest Stardrive was watching by the side, he likely gleaned considerable gains!��


    ��There��s actually really such a thing?! That Eternal Chess Game ��Ask Not��, I��ve also heard of it before. That��s the showdown between the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest. Someone like Ye Yuan can break the deadlock too?��


    That grandmaster sighed and said, ��Originally, this Empyrean naturally didn��t believe it too. But �� High Priest Stardrive came personally. So this matter naturally won��t be fake.��


    The Demon Clan was too far from the human race in the end. There were naturally missing pieces of information when the news came over.


    Hence, toward these news, these Empyreans were naturally half-dubious.


    Especially that they viewed Ye Yuan��s strength as being meager. How could he possibly crack the chess game where Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest faced off?


    It was just that looking at it today, this matter really could not be any more real!


    ��Brother Ji Mo, have you brought the things that I want?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Ji Mo nodded slightly and said, ��Receiving Second Sage��s news, Ji Mo did not dare to stop for a second and gathered the spirit medicines and rushed over.��


    As he said, Ji Mo took a storage ring out and said, ��What Second Sage needs, I will do it on your behalf.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I��ll have to trouble you.��


    Ye Yuan��s body did not have divine essence and could not even open the storage ring at all. Hence, that was why he needed Ji Mo to do it on his behalf.


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and said to Empyrean Pilljade, ��Just now, you said that I��m trash?��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression flickered incessantly. What kind of eyesight did he have? He naturally saw through Ye Yuan��s actual situation with one glance.


    The current Ye Yuan, his small world had already collapsed. He was unable to accommodate divine essence at all.


    This kind of person, what was he if not trash?


    No matter how strong the Formation Dao, what was the use if one could not cultivate?


    He smiled coldly and said, ��Could it be that what this Empyrean said is wrong?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Pilljade, today, I��ll let you see who��s the trash! From today onward, I, Ye Yuan, have the final say in the Southern Border��s alchemy world!��


    Pilljade was startled inwardly! Could it be that this boy really had some method and could recover?


    But, with his small world crumbling, even if Medicine Ancestor came, it would be difficult to repair too, right?


    Not waiting for him to react yet, Ye Yuan��s fingertips flicked out like phantoms. One array formation after another constructed in the void.


    Seeing his appearance, who still did not know that Ye Yuan wanted to refine pills?


    They all knew that he was using Formation Dao Pill Refinement, but what kind of medicinal pill was Ye Yuan going to refine to be able to let himself recover?


    However, the brilliance of Ye Yuan��s technique and complexity of the array formations made everyone secretly alarmed.


    The array formations that Ye Yuan set up, they had not seen a single one before!


    ��Ten Absolute Heavenly Hu!�� Suddenly, Ye Yuan called out loudly.


    Ji Mo flicked his fingers, a spirit medicine flew towards the array formation.


    Swish!


    The spirit medicine entered the formation and immediately turned into a pile of powder.


    But the movements of Ye Yuan��s hands did not stop and was still laying formations frenziedly.


    ��Unreasonable Azure Spirit Fruit!��


    ��Ancient Orchid Earthsun Gold!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth uttered the name of one rank seven spirit medicine after another from time to time.


    These rank seven spirit medicines were all incomparably precious.


    It was very difficult for Ye Yuan to want to gather them. Therefore, that was why he informed the Priest Temple to have Ji Mo deliver them.


    Ji Mo sent the spirit medicines into the array formation very cooperatively. They were refined in the formation.


    But no one knew what he was doing.


    Even the strange hue in Ji Mo��s gaze also gradually thickened.


    With his vision, he actually could not understand what Ye Yuan was doing!


    When pills entered rank seven, it was extremely rare for people to go and refine pills with Formation Dao anymore.


    Concerning the complexity involved, ordinary people could not imagine it at all.


    Furthermore, there was no one that had used Ye Yuan��s method to refine pills with Formation Dao.


    Formation Dao Pill Refinement was done by setting up all the array formations, and then placing the spirit medicines inside, and letting the array formation complete the refinement process by itself


    But Ye Yuan was refining the spirit medicines stalk by stalk.


    This kind of method, they had never seen before at all!


    But every spirit medicine as well as the portion that Ye Yuan sent into the array formation, those Seven-star Alchemy Gods all learned it deeply by heart.


    What if this was an incredible medicinal pill?


    It was just that they did not think about it, Ye Yuan dared to refine the pill in front of so many of them, how could he be afraid of them secretly learning?


    Empyrean Pilljade sneered coldly and said with disdain, ��The medicinal theory is utter rubbish. His array formations are too many and disorderly! What kind of bullshit medicinal pill can such an array formation refine?��


    By the side, Empyrean Windrider also nodded and said, ��With his small world crumbling apart, it��s simply beyond redemption! In my view, this boy is merely talking big to impress people.��


    The array formation grew more and more massive, and increasingly complex.


    A high building rose from the ground. It was as if Ye Yuan was using building blocks to construct a skyscraper.


    This building took ten days and nights!


    At this time, half the sky was filled with stars, as if Ye Yuan embedded the stars into the sky; exquisitely beautiful!


    Ye Yuan flicked his fingers, shooting toward a corner of the array formation.


    ��Formation rise, pill condense!��


    Clank!


    With a crisp sound, the entire array formation seemed to have come to life all of a sudden.


    Rumble!


    The void trembled. Endless light radiated out.


    The entire array formation suddenly seemed to have come to life. Incomparably shocking aura burst forth.


    Ji Mo��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in shock, ��This �� This is the aura of a complete world! Second Sage used array formations and constructed a complete world!��


    ��Chaos Samsara Pill, condense!��


    Rumble!


    All of a sudden, light converged swiftly, a medicinal pill that radiated golden light suspended above the void quietly.

 Chapter 2216 - Dao Pill!

    ��T-The aura of Dao!��


    Ji Mo looked at the golden medicinal pill that was suspending quietly. His eyes were full of shock, and he felt that his throat was somewhat dry.


    The golden medicinal pill was extremely dazzling, glaring until all the Empyreans could not open their eyes.


    The undulations coming off of the medicinal pill made everyone��s faces change drastically!


    They had never seen before such an aura from a medicinal pill.


    This kind of aura was incomparably deep, incomparably vast, as if �� facing the entire Heavenly Dao.


    It was as if that was not a medicinal pill, but �� a world!


    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression changed wildly and he said in shock, ��This �� This is the aura of the Great Dao. Why would there be the aura of the Great Dao in a medicinal pill?��


    ��What kind of medicinal pill is this? Why would there be such a miraculous undulation!��


    ��Too bizarre! What in the world did this guy do?��


    �� ��


    The Empyreans present were all shocked, being speechless.


    This medicinal pill that Ye Yuan refined already completely surpassed their understanding.


    There was a trace of Dao accumulations hidden in the medicinal pill, this was common knowledge.


    But Dao accumulations and the aura of Great Dao, that was two totally different things!


    The Great Dao aura, which was the source of Dao, was the most fundamental rule of this world.


    Why were Dao Ancestors powerful?


    Because they obtained the recognition of the source of Dao, controlling the rules in a region!


    And Dao accumulations were just like a firefly in front of the Great Dao source.


    ��Won��t be wrong! Although the aura of the Dao is still very weak �� this medicinal pill already touched the borders of Dao pill! Hiss �� worthy of being the person that Master chose, truly terrifying!��


    Ji Mo looked at Ye Yuan and drew a cold breath, forcefully calming his heart down.


    The Empyreans present all did not know what this medicinal pill signified.


    But he knew!


    This medicinal pill represented that Ye Yuan would enter the ranks of the top alchemists in this world!


    He would advance shoulder to shoulder with Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    And this also represented the superlative of the Heavenspan World��s Alchemy Dao.


    This kind of medicinal pill was called ��Dao pill�� by Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    Dao pill surmounted above divine pill, standing on par with Heavenly Dao!


    There were so many Eight-star Alchemy Gods in the Heavenspan World, but why did Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest tower above all life?


    He, High Priest Stardrive, was also a late-stage Eight-star peerless expert, but he was also unable to be mentioned in the same breath with them!


    The reason was because of Dao pill.


    That was another level of alchemy skills and already dissociated from the level of divine pills.


    However, regardless of whether it was the Medicine Ancestor or Sacred Ancestor High Priest, they were both unable to refine a true ��Dao pill��.


    Otherwise, the Medicine Ancestor would not be the Medicine Ancestor, but simply a Dao Ancestor.


    But on this step, clearly, these two major powers could walk in the front.


    That was a mysterious and hard to fathom realm, a boundary that made people captivated!


    Only the Sacred Ancestor��s students knew the profound secrets involved in this.


    Ji Mo knew that at present, the alchemists that could refine the embryonic form of a Dao pill in this Heavenspan World, the number definitely did not surpass the number of fingers.


    Each one of them was a heaven-shocking important figure.


    But now, they would probably have to include Ye Yuan!


    Although the aura of Dao contained inside this medicinal pill was still very weak, this kind of feeling would not be wrong.


    Everyone did not know the tumultuous waves in Ji Mo��s heart. But this golden-colored Chaos Samsara Pill was already enough to make them shocked.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, the Chaos Samsara Pill came into his hand.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan directly swallowed it.


    The body that was originally a pool of stagnant water immediately raged like a storm!


    Rumble!


    The berserk spiritual energy undulations billowed to the sky with Ye Yuan as the center. Limitless spiritual energy gathered over crazily.


    Ye Yuan was like a bottomless chasm, devouring spiritual energy crazily.


    While within his body, the chaos world that was originally in fragmented pieces actually displayed great vitality once more like a withered tree that came back to life!


    Chaos Samsara Pill was like a delicate tinker, starting to restore Ye Yuan��s chaos world little by little.


    No one understood what Ye Yuan experienced in these several decades.


    To the peerless powerhouses that frequently fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, and the mountain and rivers flowed in reverse, concerning the squabbles between mortals, they considered it completely beneath their notice.


    No one thought much about those most, most basic things. They felt that those were all trash and should be eliminated.


    But Ye Yuan did not think so!


    One will never achieve their goals without doing things a step at a time.


    No matter how grand the move, no matter how great the strength, it was put together and formed from bit by bit of foundation.


    He grew up like this and also demanded others to grow like this.


    During these several dozens of years, Ye Yuan instinctively ran through those Alchemy Dao records that those experts cast aside like a pair of worn-out shoes systematically.


    He lost his memories and could not remember alchemy things at all.


    Whatever Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s legacy, whatever Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove��s inheritance, he forgot all of them cleanly!


    All of his reliance was his own instincts!


    His alchemy talent, his alchemy instincts, the alchemy strength that he tempered thoroughly.


    Bit by bit, little by little, it accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.


    All the way until Lin Changqing appeared, pushing Ye Yuan to his limits, he achieved mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject, and finally stepped into the middle-stage Dao Realm with one step.


    At present, what kind of realm did his Alchemy Dao reach? Even he himself did not know either.


    But he knew that he was very strong!


    Indescribably strong!


    So what if the world crumbled?


    So what if divine essence was completely lost?


    I��ll refine pills and restore all of them!


    This Chaos Samsara Pill was the grand achievement work that his Alchemy Dao gathered!


    The horrifying energy undulation continued for a full three days and nights.


    Ye Yuan was like a heaven-devouring behemoth, swallowing heaven and earth spiritual energy greedily.


    Three days later, Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, brilliant light radiating!


    Not only did this ��quasi Dao pill�� restore his chaos world fully, it even let his strength scale new heights!


    At present, he already stepped into the middle-stage Chao Realm!


    During this period, Empyrean Pilljade and the rest were akin to sitting on pins and needles.


    They really wanted to make a move to interrupt Ye Yuan��s refinement. They wanted to stop Ye Yuan from recovering his strength.


    But, with High Priest Stardrive this major power watching at one side, they did not dare to do anything at all.


    Of course, what shocked them even more was that Ye Yuan really recovered!


    A martial artist whose world shattered actually recovered his strength miraculously!


    Would this sort of thing really happen?


    But it happened right before their eyes!


    ��This �� What kind of medicinal pill is this, to actually be able to let a shattered world come back to life! Impossible! Why haven��t I heard of such a medicinal pill before?!��


    ��Too terrifying! This guy��s alchemy strength is absolutely the number one person among Seven-stars!��


    ��This boy is simply a freak!��


    �� ��


    The Southern Border Alliance Empyreans were all shocked speechless.


    Actually, all the way until just now, they were not willing to believe that Ye Yuan was really able to recover.


    But the reality was often quite cruel!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s strength recover fully, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City cheered with jubilation.


    This was their lord, their omnipotent lord!


    Ye Yuan looked at Empyrean Pilljade and said with a cold smile, ��Pilljade, I wonder who��s the trash now?��

 Chapter 2217 - Who Knows What the Hell He Experienced?!

    Empyrean Pilljade��s expression was extremely ugly.


    With Ye Yuan appearing in such a way, everyone all thought that he was already a cripple.


    But who knew that he actually refined a miraculous medicinal pill and completely restored his small world!


    Now, not only did Ye Yuan��s cultivation recover fully, but his strength also become a notch higher.


    This made things awkward.


    His gaze turned intent, and he said with a cold smile, ��Even if you recovered your strength, what can you change? This show today doesn��t only have this Empyrean dictating here! Do you, a puny little Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, dare to become enemies with the entire Southern Border��s Heavenly Emperors?��


    After he was done talking, he turned to Ji Mo again and said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Stardrive, although you��re a demon race major power, this place is the human race boundary! Right now, our Southern Border Alliance is going to launch a general offensive towards Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Are you really going to take action?��


    These words had some meaning of forcing him out of the way.


    But he believed that High Priest Stardrive definitely would not dare to risk universal condemnation.


    The human race��s strength was far stronger than a mere Priest Temple.


    But Ji Mo did not care at all. Instead, he waved his hand dismissively and smiled as he said, ��I said that I��m just here to run an errand. Whatever you all want to do, that��s your business.��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face became blacker and blacker. The more Ji Mo said this, the more uncertain he was.


    You, a major power, are here now, but you said to me that you would not care about anything!


    If you did not care, I would have long thrown a slap over.


    Would you allow it?


    ��Uh �� Right. The spirit medicines that Second Sage wants isn��t just these. After he finishes refining the medicinal pill, this emperor can also return and report completion on the mission. At that time, you all can fight however you like. Your human race��s internal affairs, this emperor won��t intervene in them,�� Ji Mo��s face still had a faint smile as he said coolly.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face turned black again.


    Ye Yuan found it funny in his heart, this fellow is rather interesting.


    It turned out that not every major power was so old-fashioned and posturing.


    Uh �� Ji Mo��s posturing was postured refreshingly and free from convention.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly turned around and said to Bai Tong, ��Senior Bai Tong, back then, when I brought you away from Bamboo Groove Void Realm, I��d once promised you good fortune! Today, I��ll gift this good fortune to you!��


    Bai Tong��s entire body trembled.


    Then he saw that Ye Yuan had already started setting up a formation.


    Recovering his strength, with the traction of divine essence, Ye Yuan��s speed of setting up formations was God knows how many times faster than before!


    Merely half a day��s time, an enormous array formation surfaced in front of everyone.


    Although this array formation was inferior to the array formation that refined the Chaos Samsara Pill previously, it was also extremely complicated.


    Even if those Empyrean powerhouses opened their eyes wide and exerted their divine sense to the limits, they were still unable to understand the mysteries involved.


    By the side, Ji Mo sneered coldly in his heart.


    Even he could not understand this array formation, so how could these fools understand?


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao Pill Refinement already reached the boundary of following his own will.


    To him, whether it was using medicinal cauldron to refine pills or using array formation to refine pills, there was already not much difference.


    Ye Yuan integrated his alchemy skills into Alchemy Dao, grouping them randomly.


    Targeting different medicinal pills, he could create different Formation Dao Pill Refinement.


    Although the methods used may vary, the principle was the same.


    That ��principle�� was his Dao!


    ��Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill, condense!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, a resplendent light radiated once more.


    Pill formed!


    ��Hiss �� End spirit divine pill again!�� The group of Empyreans could not refrain from drawing a cold breath once more.


    ��Although this medicinal pill isn��t as good as that one previously, it also already firmly reached the level of end spirit! Truly �� terrifying!��


    ��To be able to steadily refine rank seven divine pills to the level of end spirit, this boy��s realm has likely already reached middle-stage Ancestor Realm!��


    ��Don��t you guys forget! The medicinal pill that he refined earlier was an extremely obscure medicinal pill!��


    �� ��


    Obscure medicinal pills were totally different concepts from ordinary medicinal pills.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan refined the Cleansing Rain Dream Reverting Pill, he practically exhausted his divine soul. The difficulty could be seen.


    Now, refining the Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill, the difficulty rose god knows how many levels up.


    However, Ye Yuan still accomplished it with high proficiency!


    The alchemy strength that Ye Yuan exhibited made the Southern Border Alliance��s empyreans despair.


    ��From today onward, I, Ye Yuan, have the final say in the Southern Border��s alchemy world!��


    This sentence echoed in their ears from time to time.


    Previously, they all still felt that Ye Yuan did not know what he was talking about, but now �� they already could not find the words to describe their current emotions.


    Bai Tong received the medicinal pill and said with surprise, ��Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill?��


    Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill was not the medicinal pill to let him completely recover his strength.


    Hence, when Bai Tong heard this name, he was very surprised too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior returned to boyhood from old age. It��s caused by the defect in your cultivation method. Your cultivation method will harm a portion of the divine soul in exchange for great improvements in power. With your divine soul getting damaged, Heavenly Dao is defective. Even if Senior��s cultivation is exceedingly high, it��s also hard to step into the realm of Heavenly Emperor. This Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill can complete your divine soul and let your divine soul reach the peak. At that time, breaking through again would be much easier.��


    Bai Tong��s entire body trembled. The defect in his divine soul was unable to recover fully even with the medicinal pills left behind by his ancestors.


    Ye Yuan altered his pill formula and it was actually capable of restoring his divine soul?


    Just what kind of realm did this fellow��s current Alchemy Dao reach?!


    This kind of level nine difficulty peak rank seven divine pills, wanting to make the slightest changes was as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    But Ye Yuan modified it like he had it at his fingertips!


    This world was too crazy.


    Bai Tong nodded slightly and said with a smile, ��Fine lad, thanks a lot!��


    He put away the medicinal pill and did not have the intention of refining it, but then he heard Ye Yuan say with a wide grin on his face, ��Just nice. There��s Brother Ji Mo standing guard here, Elder Brother Bai should just directly refine the medicinal pill. There��s still �� something better after this!��


    ��B-Better?�� Bai Tong was taken aback, his brain not quite following Ye Yuan��s words.


    This Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill was already the best medicinal pill that he could imagine.


    What kind of medicinal pill could be better than this?


    Could it be ��


    Suddenly, a thought crept up in his mind and his heart shook wildly!


    Could �� he really do it?


    Among Seven-star Alchemy Gods, it has never been heard of that anyone could refine that medicinal pill!


    Yes, he was not an ordinary Seven-star Alchemy God ��


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Bai Tong��s mouth, and he nodded his head slightly at Ye Yuan, directly consuming the Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill.


    While the others were shocked speechless.


    ��Could it be that this guy still wants to refine the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill?��


    ��Crazy! Really nuts! Wasn��t it said that this boy died? What the hell did he experience these few years? Why would he be monstrous until like this?��


    ��Who the hell knows what he experienced! But �� even that heaven-defying Chaos Samsara Pill was refined. So the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill �� shouldn��t be anything difficult, right?��


    �� ��


    The expressions of the Southern Border Alliance��s Empyreans became more and more fascinating.


    Everyone already guessed what medicinal pill Ye Yuan was going to refine.


    But they still did not dare to believe it.


    This was because this medicinal pill was a heaven-defying existence to Seven-star Alchemy Gods, even to Eight-star Alchemy Gods.


    If one had to add a difficulty above level nine, then this medicinal pill was the existence that surpassed level nine difficulty!


    The Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill!


    The medicinal pill that could create a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!

 Chapter 2218 - If He Were to Become Emperor, Who Would Dare Disobey?!

    A Heavenly Emperor was this world��s true hegemon!


    The goal that every martial artist strove toward their whole lives was to become a Heavenly Emperor.


    This step stumped no idea how many outstanding figures.


    Just take Empyrean Pilljade for example. Was his talent not high?


    Once he was the sole Ancestor Realm powerhouse of the Southern Border, how dazzling was this halo?


    But even so, he was still blocked in front of the gates of Heavenly Emperor mercilessly.


    Then about Empyrean Chaoyuan, who cultivated to the peak Empyrean Realm with the identity of an itinerant cultivator, how astonishing was his talent?


    Moreover, he was even an extremely powerful Seven-star Alchemy God.


    But likewise, he was unable to take this step.


    It had already been several million years!


    Also one thing, that was that �� Heavenly Emperors were not able to be created using medicinal pills!


    Actually, it was not that there wasn��t such a medicinal pill, but it was that �� this medicinal pill was too hard to refine.


    Even for those peak Eight-star Alchemy Gods, there were also very few that could successfully refine the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    But now, Ye Yuan was doing it!


    Ji Mo looked at Ye Yuan setting up the formation, and the flesh on his face hurt without him being aware.


    Even though it was just rank seven spirit medicines, the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill��s spirit medicines, each kind was incomparably precious and rare.


    Each spirit medicine was worth a city!


    In this Heavenspan World, there were really not many that could gather the spirit medicines of the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill.


    It was also only because Second Sage opened his mouth to request for them. Otherwise, even if others wanted to refine it, they would also be unable to make something out of nothing!


    This time, the array formations that Ye Yuan laid down were even more profound and complicated.


    The refinement of the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill was seriously too difficult and profound.


    However, Ye Yuan still constructed the colossal array formation methodically.


    The array formation became more and more complicated, increasingly difficult to understand.


    The aura coming from within the void also became more and more profound.


    But the Southern Border Alliance��s Empyreans became more and more anxious.


    It seemed like �� the momentum of Heavenly Eagle��s rise was already unstoppable!


    ��Could it be that �� this Empyrean is really going to witness a miracle? A Seven-star Alchemy God refining the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill? I never even heard of it before!��


    ��Sigh, comparing people is really odious! This boy is too monstrous!��


    ��If �� this Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill can be given to this Empyrean, how great would that be?��


    �� ��


    The Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill, a medicinal pill that could create Heavenly Emperors, how could they not covet it?


    At this time, how were they still in the mood to go and attack Heavenly Eagle?


    These Empyreans, especially those at the peak, their only thought was envying Bai Tong!


    At this time, they wished for time to flow backward, and they would go and suck up to Ye Yuan desperately.


    As long as they obtained Ye Yuan��s recognition, perhaps they would also be able to obtain the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill. They would then step into that fleeting and ephemeral Heavenly Emperor Realm!


    Inside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, Yun Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, his expression seemingly incomparably excited.


    This was the Alchemy Dao that he yearned for!


    Compared to his master��s Alchemy Dao, what did mere Seven-star Alchemy Gods count for?


    In front of his master, cultivation realms did not have any meaning at all!


    His understanding of Alchemy Dao already glimpsed the source of the Dao.


    Maybe come one day in the future, he would also be able to refine such a heaven-defying medicinal pill!


    Staying in Heavenly Eagle was not the choice that he made, but a steadfast belief in his heart.


    His identity was extremely sensitive. If it were others, it was absolutely impossible to take him in as an apprentice, let alone the opportunity to be imparted with various skills.


    But after so many years in Heavenly Eagle, Yun Yi could clearly feel his alchemy strength advance by leaps and bounds!


    This could not be faked!


    Making him betray Heavenly Eagle at this time, he really could not do it.


    Right at this time, on the other side, Bai Tong��s aura billowed to the sky.


    His aura rose steadily up, heading straight to becoming a peak Empyrean.


    When everything calmed down, Bai Tong��s entire person was like a sharp sword that came out of the sheathe, sharp edge revealing in its entirety!


    Coincidentally at this moment, Ye Yuan pointed at the void and yelled out, ��Formation rise, Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill, condense!��


    Rumble!


    Another heaven-shocking array formation��s operation.


    Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill, formed!


    End spirit Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill!


    Southern Border Alliance that side, the Empyreans�� eyes were almost popping out.


    Towards Ye Yuan��s strength, they were long already wholeheartedly convinced.


    Right now, their only thought was envy!


    Ye Yuan put away the medicinal pill and said to Bai Tong, ��Brother Bai Tong, how do you feel?��


    Bai Tong smiled and said, ��Great! Indescribably great!��


    The Dream Returning Heart Replenishing Pill already treated all of his hidden injuries. The current Bai Tong already reached his peak state in all aspects.


    Breaking through currently was the most suitable!


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��That��s good! NOw, directly refine this then!��


    As he said, he handed the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill to Bai Tong.


    Bai Tong refined it on the spot without another word.


    Half a day later, a horrifying aura rose up.


    The originally cloudless sky suddenly rolled and seethed.


    The earth was quaking.


    A strong wind was howling.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s structures could not withstand this pressure at all and were virtually about to collapse.


    The martial artists in the city were even tottering on their feet.


    A glint flashed in Ji Mo��s gaze, and he casually fired out a spell.


    In an instant, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City stabilized.


    The pressure of a Heavenly Emperor��s breakthrough was too great for normal martial artists!


    Even these Empyreans in front of him, all of them had solemn expressions too, mustering up all the divine essence in their bodies, resisting this pressure.


    However, no one left!


    A Heavenly Emperor breaking through, Great Dao would descend.


    This kind of lucky chance could not be encountered by everyone.


    Perhaps the observation this time could let them have some harvests?


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Bai Tong��s aura became grander and grander. He became increasingly stronger.


    The Heavenly Emperor��s barrier was unable to stop his breakthrough at all.


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Bai Tong broke through the fetters of Empyrean Realm in one go, busting through that shackle!


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse was born domineeringly just like that!


    Everyone was staring dumbfounded with their mouths agape, shocked expressions on their faces.


    Empyrean Pilljade gave a bitter laugh and said, ��This �� is the power of an end spirit Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill! Truly, if he were to become emperor, who would dare disobey?!��


    Empyrean Windrider also sighed faintly and said, ��Breaking through the shackles with Alchemy Dao, Heavenly Dao has to make some concessions too! This boy is already not what the likes of us can provoke!��


    Empyrean Pilljade sighed dejectedly, knowing that what Empyrean Windrider said was not false.


    Although they all, these alchemy major powers, had not seen a Heavenly Emperor breaking through before, they still knew what the breakthrough would be like.


    When others broke through, they needed to shake off the fetters of Heavenly Dao countless times, struggling to free themselves from the shackles of Empyrean Realm.


    Breaking through was fighting with heaven, fighting with earth, fighting with oneself!


    But Bai Tong��s breakthrough was extremely domineering.


    Have obstructions, directly burst through!


    Have fetter, directly chop off!


    The momentum of becoming a Heavenly Emperor, even heaven and earth was unable to stop it!


    This kind of breakthrough, the impact was too strong.


    Bai Tong stood in the air. Looking at this world again, it was as if everything changed colors.


    ��Turns out that the world is like this!�� Bai Tong could not resist letting out an emotional sigh.


    Suddenly, the aura on his body released. A horrifying pressure spread out, spreading across the entire sky.


    Heavenly Emperor pressure!


    Bai Tong��s gaze turned sharp. Sweeping across the sky, he said coldly, ��From this day forth, this Heavenly Emperor will garrison Heavenly Eagle, forming the Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma! All of the Southern Border��s alchemy matters will be controlled by the Heavenly Eagle��s Pill Tower! Whoever isn��t convinced, feel free to come and find this Heavenly Emperor!��

 Chapter 2219 - Work Things Out!

    A Heavenly Emperor was like a heavyweight bombshell or a nuclear bomb, being a deterrent.


    The destructive force of a Heavenly Emperor was too strong. Secular cities were not much different from toys to a Heavenly Emperor.


    Furthermore, the survivability of a Heavenly Emperor was extremely strong. They were exceedingly difficult to kill.


    Once a Heavenly Emperor was determined to seek vengeance, even if he was only a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor, his destructive power would also be extremely astonishing.


    Hence, there was this unspoken agreement between heavenly emperors to not intervene in worldly affairs.


    Once the Heavenspan World becomes depraved, then the Heavenspan World would wail in sorrow.


    Now, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City produced a Heavenly Emperor. They had sufficient capital to play with other Heavenly Emperors.


    They could take a share of the loot from the Southern Border, this large cake!


    The Southern Border Alliance army slipped away with their tails between their legs. Empyrean Pilljade did not dare to even let out a fart.


    From this day onward, Southern Border alchemy world��s arrangement would have massive changes!


    A new peak Alchemy Dao holy land suddenly emerged!


    Previously, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City could be said to exist by depending on the Myriad Treasure Tower. It was only because their strength was not strong enough.


    But now, Heavenly Eagle had a Heavenly Emperor holding down the fort. This caused the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to join into the ranks of the Southern Border��s top factions.


    No one dared to not give Heavenly Eagle Imperial City face anymore.


    Let alone that after this battle, Ye Yuan��s fame surpassed even the new Heavenly Emperor, making the entire Southern Border hear about it like the sound of thunder.


    A Seven-star Alchemy God was capable of refining the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill!


    From this day forth, Ye Yuan became the well-deserved number one person among Seven-star Alchemy Gods!


    The impact of this title was too great.


    The medicinal pills that you could not refine, I could refine!


    Powerhouses that you could not create, I could create!


    Injuries that you could not treat, I could treat!


    With how vast the Southern Border was, who dared to say that they would not need to ask Ye Yuan for help?


    What if someday, an Empyrean was heavily injured on the verge of death and needed medicinal pills to save their life?


    If one day, a Bodhidharma��s direct lineage disciple needed an extremely hard to refine medicinal pill to break through?


    Nobody dared to say for certain!


    In the past, Ye Yuan was just a Seven-star Alchemy God and was unable to refine rank seven divine pills. His value was naturally not great.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s status was already totally different.


    He already truly became a figure of authority in a region!


    No one dared to not give him face!


    Not long after, the Southern Border organized a four-party talk.


    Southern Border Alliance, Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma, seven great ancient families as well as �� Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma!


    ��I want 60%!�� The moment Ye Yuan sat down, he nonchalantly tossed out a heavyweight bombshell.


    Empyrean Pilljade shot to his feet and berated angrily, ��Brat, your appetite is also a little too big! Careful you don��t burst!��


    The representative of the seven great ancient families, Beitang Li, also frowned and said, ��Little Brother Ye, show mercy whenever possible! The incident this time, even if we were in the wrong, we also restrained ourselves for a long time for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City��s sake. Isn��t that so?��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather remained silent.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, got up, and said, ��Is that so? Then �� there��s nothing to discuss. Gentlemen, let��s showcase our true abilities then!��


    Done talking, he was actually going to leave the meeting.


    The few great Empyreans almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Who negotiated like this?


    What the hell �� Did not even talk yet and you were going to dust your bottom and leave?


    You directly threw 60% the moment you came, we only said a sentence and you wanted to showcase our abilities.


    This �� Still discuss for what?!


    Shouldn��t negotiations be push and pull, all parties playing a seesaw game?


    Why did it totally change here?


    This brat was also too tyrannical!


    ��Hold on! Lets �� work things out, can��t we?�� Empyrean Pilljade did not have a temper anymore and could only speak up.


    Beitang Li also hurriedly got up and pulled Ye Yuan and said, ��Dear me, Little Brother Ye, everything can be discussed! Let��s sit down first and talk properly. How about it?��


    Ye Yuan did not sit down and just said coolly, ��Nothing to discuss! Right now, our Heavenly Eagle is the victor. You guys �� are the defeated ones! 60%! I��ve already made a huge sacrifice. If can, you guys carry on discussing. If can��t, you guys can carry on discussing too.��


    Domineering!


    Tyrannical!


    Not giving the other three parties any leeway to turn around at all.


    Ye Yuan this time was simply like a different person from back then.


    In the negotiations back then, Ye Yuan did not show face at all. A large portion of the profits was even given to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City merely just became an appendage to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    But today, Ye Yuan was too domineering. He was simply unparalleled and tyrannical!


    I set the price. You guys can discuss the rest. It has nothing to do with me.


    Then Ye Yuan turned around and left just like that.


    The other few people exchanged glances. Baffled looks could be seen on their faces.


    Bustling around for such a long time, in the end, Ye Yuan came over and dropped a single sentence, and he was done?


    Empyrean Pilljade looked at Empyrean Flutterfeather. He said with a sneer, ��Flutterfeather, the good brother that you made! You did not stint to fall out with Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and also had to help Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. In the end, he��s treating you like this!��


    Flutterfeather looked at him and said with a faint smile, ��This Empyrean is this Empyrean. The Myriad Treasure Tower is the Myriad Treasure Tower! He isn��t targeting this Empyrean. He is targeting the Myriad Treasure Tower! It��s the Myriad Treasure Tower that abandoned Heavenly Eagle first! Younger Brother Ye��s heart is like a clear mirror and naturally has his considerations. Rather, it��s you who ought to consider the things afterward properly. Otherwise, toward Heavenly Emperor Wanzhe there, it will be hard to give him an account.��


    Empyrean Pilljade��s gaze turned intent, his expression instantly becoming incomparably ugly.


    This four-party talk was facilitated by the Southern Border Alliance in the first place.


    But currently, this sort of situation could not carry on negotiating at all.


    Could it be that they were going to start a war again?


    But if they started a war, the Southern Border Alliance would not have any chips on hand at all!


    The Southern Border Alliance that had the greatest influence and strongest strength in the past, currently it was the party with the fewest chips presently!


    They were the party with the weakest power and influence.


    The Myriad Treasure Tower had pill formulas!


    The seven great reclusive ancient families also had pill formulas!


    Heavenly Eagle was even the master of the pill formulas!


    Only the Southern Border Alliance had nothing!


    Of course, it was also not that they had nothing.


    They had territory!


    �� ��


    Very soon, someone came to visit.


    But the one who came this time was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Empyrean Flutterfeather led the Myriad Treasure Tower��s Heavenly Emperor Riverback and approached Ye Yuan.


    ��Huhu, Elder Brother Flutterfeather, I was just about to find you, but I didn��t expect that you came personally.�� When Ye Yuan saw Flutterfeather, he had an enthusiastic look.


    As for the Heavenly Emperor Riverback who was in the leading position, it was like Ye Yuan did not see him at all, treating him like air.


    It was so awkward!


    To dare treat a Heavenly Emperor as air, Ye Yuan was probably the first person in the Southern Border.


    Flutterfeather could only toughen his scalp and answered, ��Younger Brother, this is my Myriad Treasure Tower��s Third Manager, Heavenly Emperor Riverback!��


    The Myriad Treasure Tower��s power and influence were tremendous. There was naturally more than one Heavenly Emperor.


    In the Southern Border, Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma��s power and influence were extremely powerful. Otherwise, how could their business span across the Southern Border?


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback put aside his embarrassment and said fawningly, ��Little Friend Ye��s battle shocked the Southern Border and became the Southern Border Seven-star Alchemy Gods�� number one person! It really broadened people��s horizons!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��About this, speaking of which, I still have to thank Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure very much for giving me this opportunity.��


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback almost choked to death. He could only cough dryly twice to resolve the awkwardness.


    ��Little Friend Ye, this matter was indeed my Myriad Treasure Tower��s fault. But then again, for Little Friend Ye to be able to have today��s accomplishments, my Myriad Treasure Tower also made great contributions. Are our two families really going to make distinctions between each other?�� Heavenly Emperor Riverback asked.

 Chapter 2220 - Disregarded

    Ye Yuan��s footsteps stopped, and then the smile on his face gradually disappeared.


    By the side, Empyrean Flutterfeather sighed slightly, knowing that this matter could not be settled anymore today.


    Before coming, he exhorted over and over again, for Heavenly Emperor Riverback to not mention the past, and just to acknowledge their faults sincerely.


    That way, maybe there was still a trace of salvaging.


    But Heavenly Emperor Riverback capitalized on his status and talked about the past.


    With Ye Yuan��s temper, how could he let the matter drop?


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan laughed coldly and said, ��Fellow Daoist Riverback, isn��t your face red from saying this? You all touch your hearts first. The Myriad Treasure Tower��s these several thousand years of glory, who did it rely on? Was it me, Ye Yuan, who received favors from your Myriad Treasure Tower��s light? Or was it your Myriad Treasure Tower who received favors from my, Ye Yuan��s light!��


    Over these thousand years, the Myriad Treasure Tower could be said to be unprecedentedly powerful.


    The profits that they earned were as much as the past several tens of thousands of years added up, even several hundreds of thousands of years.


    With such a huge profit as support, the Myriad Treasure Tower naturally groomed countless powerhouses too.


    And this profit was all created from Ye Yuan��s pill formulas!


    Ever since Ye Yuan entered the Heavenspan World, the special pill formulas were given to the Myriad Treasure Tower. Its value could virtually buy a Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda!


    Especially after the last Cloudpill Summit, the Myriad Treasure Tower��s reputation developed to the peak.


    What Ye Yuan returned to the Myriad Treasure Tower was much greater than what he took.


    He, Ye Yuan, had always repaid with precious jade after receiving a peach fruit when making friends.


    Ye Yuan being able to leave with his mind set at ease was equivalent to entrusting Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to the Myriad Treasure Tower.


    Although he treated the Myriad Treasure Tower as a friend, in the end, the Myriad Treasure Tower only treated him as a partner of interest.


    When Heavenly Eagle needed help the most, the Myriad Treasure Tower pulled the firewood out from under the boiler.


    They stopped caring!


    What difference was this kind of action from kicking you down the cliff with one foot?


    Even though the Myriad Treasure Tower did not take part in the besieging this time, they were one of the accomplices too!


    Ye Yuan was clear in his heart that with the Myriad Treasure Tower��s present strength, they could definitely withstand the heavy pressure of the Southern Border Alliance.


    At the very least, preserving Heavenly Eagle was still achievable.


    But they shrunk back!


    They felt that with Heavenly Eagle losing him, it lost its utility value. Hence, they directly sold Heavenly Eagle out.


    Only then did Ye Yuan come to realize the truth. It turned out that Myriad Treasure Tower was merely a group of merchants who were trying to outwit the other in the end!


    Merchants only ever pursued profits!


    But Empyrean Flutterfeather was a different type.


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback��s old face turned red. He knew that what Ye Yuan said was not false!


    In reality, he was also an indirect beneficiary.


    But the pride of a Heavenly Emperor made him unable to lower his head.


    Saying some self-degrading words was already his limit.


    And Ye Yuan��s attitude also thoroughly infuriated him.


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback��s gaze turned dark, and he said, ��Ye Yuan, this Heavenly Emperor humbled himself and pleaded with well-meaning advice, but you��re pushing people too far! Don��t you forget! The pill formulas are still grasped in the hands of the Myriad Treasure Tower! If we publicize the pill formulas, you should know the consequences!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Riverback like looking at a fool and grinned as he said, ��As long as you��re happy!��


    After he was done talking, he turned to Flutterfeather and said, ��Elder Brother Flutterfeather, since Ji Mo that fellow came, I conveniently extorted some rank seven spirit medicines. These two days, I just happened to refine several Emergence Spirit Ascension Pills. It should be sufficient for you to cultivate for a period of time. As for Elder Brother Chaoyuan there, I��m having a bit of a headache.��


    Ye Yuan patted his head, an appearance of his head hurting.


    He was indeed feeling some headache!


    The matter this time, the two people that Ye Yuan owed the biggest favor to were Empyrean Flutterfeather and Empyrean Chaoyuan.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s situation was still fine. He still had room to go up.


    But Empyrean Chaoyuan, his situation was to reach the Heavenly Emperor Realm!


    Where would he go and pool together another set of Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill��s spirit medicines?


    By the side, Heavenly Emperor Riverback��s gaze turned intent.


    Those were end spirit divine pills!


    At present, when a medicinal pill that Ye Yuan personally refined was placed outside, it was a priceless treasure.


    One end spirit Emergence Spirit Ascension Pill, even if exchanging for a rank eight divine pill, there would also absolutely be someone who would swap.


    But he actually gave it to Empyrean Flutterfeather like giving a cabbage!


    The moment he gave Empyrean Flutterfeather, it was several pills!


    These medicinal pills were sufficient for Empyrean Flutterfeather to cultivate to the peak Empyrean Realm.


    ��Brat, you��re too condescending! You��ll pay the price for your arrogance!�� Heavenly Emperor Riverback had a feeling of being disregarded and said furiously.


    But it was like Ye Yuan did not hear him. He then said to Flutterfeather, ��Oh, right, Elder Brother, here are my Alchemy Dao experiences these few years. You can take it and have a look. Let��s improve together.��


    Flutterfeather��s gaze turned slightly intent and his breathing became ragged.


    Compared to medicinal pills, this jade slip was more valuable!


    ��Ye Yuan, are you really going to force yourself into a dead end? People who dare to become enemies with my Myriad Treasure Tower all didn��t have a good ending!�� Heavenly Emperor Riverback said furiously.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Brother Flutterfeather, call Elder Brother Chaoyuan tomorrow too. Let��s get good and drunk!��


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback was speechless.


    He seriously could not stay on in this place anymore.


    After Heavenly Emperor Riverback left, Flutterfeather sighed slightly and said, ��Why is there a need for this, Younger Brother? Could it be that �� you��re really not scared that the Myriad Treasure Tower publicize the pill formulas?��


    Ye Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, ��Pill formulas? Heh heh, using my pill formulas to threaten me, I really don��t know if that guy��s brain is made out of tofu or not! If Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure is smart, he should restrain himself a little! They should prop you up! With you around, some things can still be discussed. If they offend you, heh heh �� Myriad Treasure Tower��s business in the Southern Border will come to an end too!��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather��s expression turned slightly somber. Only then did he know that Ye Yuan��s trump card was no longer some pill formulas long ago.


    Perhaps from the very beginning, he never placed these pill formulas in his sights!


    Yeah, using Ye Yuan��s own pill formulas to threaten him, wasn��t this a joke?


    �� ��


    ��Master, this snotty brat is too condescending, completely making light of our Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma! In my view, we should publicize the pill formulas now and ally with the other two parties to deal with this punk together! Isn��t his Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma just a measly little First Firmament Heavenly Emperor? Can they still become enemies with the entire Southern Border?��


    Returning to Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma, Heavenly Emperor Riverback had a look of rage.


    He was Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s eldest disciple and followed Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure the longest. His status in Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma was also extremely high.


    It was just that he said it with a look of exultation, but he did not notice that Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure��s expression already become extremely ugly.


    After he finished saying, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure laughed coldly and said, ��Riverback, are you a pig? This Heavenly Emperor made you represent the Myriad Treasure Tower to go to apologize to him. But then you ran over to show off your power and prestige to Ye Yuan? Did your brain short-circuit?! Is a Heavenly Emperor very impressive? Don��t you know that Ye Yuan used a medicinal pill and forcefully created a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse? If not for the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill��s spirit medicines being too rare, Empyrean Chaoyuan would be Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s second one! In the future, there will still be a third, a fourth!��


    Heavenly Emperor Riverback was scolded until he was struck senseless. His master had never flared up with such a temper before.


    What was going on this time?


    ��Do you think that those few lousy pill formulas are very impressive? Using the pill formulas that Ye Yuan handed to us to threaten him, was your head kicked by a donkey?�� The more Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure scolded, the more enraged he became, showing a disappointed appearance of expecting better from him.

 Chapter 2221 - Army Setting Out for Jiu Shang!

    ��Hahaha!��


    From inside the Priest Temple��s main hall, a burst of hearty laughter could be heard.


    Wing��s laughter carried a trace of excitement, a trace of anticipation, and also a trace of shock.


    ��Dao pill! What an exceptionally talented boy! Just how long has it been and he already refined a Dao pill! This Heavenly Emperor really didn��t misjudge him!��


    Ji Mo also said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��Second Sage��s talent truly surpasses ancient and modern times! Master, you aren��t aware of this, but when I saw him refining the Chaos Samsara Pill, while in a trance, I thought that it was Master refining the pill!��


    Wing smiled slightly and shook his head and said, ��You��re wrong!��


    Ji Mo was taken aback and said, ��Wrong?��


    Wing nodded and said, ��His alchemy talent is naturally this world��s apex! But, since time immemorial, including Medicine Ancestor that fellow and I, which one isn��t extraordinarily talented? But who could have such accomplishment at his age?��


    Ji Mo was deep in thought. Thinking about it, it was indeed like that.


    Being able to reach the level of Dao, regardless of whether it was the Medicine Ancestor or Sacred Ancestor High Priest, they were absolutely this world��s most outstanding geniuses.


    But even the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest still paled in comparison in front of Ye Yuan��s astonishing talent!


    This point, whether or not he admitted it, it was the truth!


    Ji Mo gave a bow and said, ��Master, please give guidance!��


    Wing slowly said, ��Cultivation emphasizes on cultivating the heart! The vastness of the Heavenspan World can��t be imagined. The river of time surges; how many geniuses are akin to schools of carps crossing the river? But existences that can stand above the clouds all have qualities that ordinary people don��t possess! Only character can magnify your talent limitlessly, and let you possess infinite possibilities!��


    ��Not arrogant, not rash, not greedy, no resentment! Calm and wise when encountering things, have great willpower and absolutely won��t concede defeat! This boy possesses all the qualities to become a peerless powerhouse! Talent can be reformed. At the very least, it isn��t considered too hard for me to want to make a pig become a Heavenly Emperor. But a pig is a pig! Even if it became a Heavenly Emperor, it��s also a pig! He will still be gluttonous and lazy, and put cultivation aside. But character needs the accumulation of time, needs the understanding of oneself.��


    ��Of course, this logic, this Heavenly Emperor only slowly comprehended them after a very long time too. Compared to him, it��s as if he already knew them inherently! If my conjectures are right, he must have had a major incident happen to him in his early years.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s gaze was deep, his eyes exuding wisdom as if he had seen through Ye Yuan.


    Ji Mo was alarmed inwardly as he listened!


    These words would likely cause a mighty uproar when placed in the outside world.


    The world placed high regard on talent and did not value character.


    But in his master��s eyes, one��s character was even more important than talent!


    In fact, in his master��s eyes, talent was utterly worthless!


    When Ji Mo was still immersed in the midst of shock, Wing laughed coldly and said, ��Medicine Ancestor that old fellow will only be like this for the rest of his life! Because his character has flaws! This half step, he��ll never be able to cross it! Ye Yuan and I will surpass him in the end!��


    Ji Mo��s heart shook wildly. His master already foresaw the future in the Priest Temple?


    ��Master, Second Sage is so extraordinarily talented. Will he arouse Medicine Ancestor��s dread or not?�� Ji Mo suddenly thought of something and asked.


    Wing sneered coldly and said, ��With his character, he��ll naturally dread him! However, it��s common knowledge to the world that Ye Yuan is my Priest Temple��s Second Sage. I reckon that he won��t dare to make a move! With this Heavenly Emperor��s understanding of him, he��ll definitely use all sorts of ways to suppress Ye Yuan, and let him fade into the crowd! It��s just that �� heh heh, no matter what method he uses, it will probably have the opposite effect and boost Ye Yuan��s growth!��


    �� ��


    Concerning the Southern Border��s four-party talk, the Southern Border Alliance compromised, the Myriad Treasure Tower compromised, and the seven great reclusive ancient families compromised too!


    Heavenly Eagle Imperial City monopolized a 60% share of the Southern Border!


    Actually, if the Myriad Treasure Tower apologized properly, he would not mind yielding some share to the Myriad Treasure Tower on account of Empyrean Flutterfeather��s face.


    After all, he and the Myriad Treasure Tower did not have a deep-seated hatred.


    But Heavenly Emperor Riverback posturing in front of Ye Yuan, postured these shares away.


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was the heavenly emperor who was best at doing business in the Southern Border. How shrewd was he?


    He had Heavenly Emperor Riverback represent him to go to apologize. It was in order to fight for this bit of share.


    But Heavenly Emperor Riverback screwed things up.


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure had bitterness but nowhere to vent, and so he could only swallow his broken teeth down his stomach.


    However, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure promoted Empyrean Flutterfeather to the position of the Myriad Treasure Tower��s sixth manager. His status was second only to the Myriad Treasure Tower��s five great Heavenly Emperors.


    And Empyrean Flutterfeather also became the first Empyrean Realm head manager in the Myriad Treasure Tower��s history. His status was incomparably venerated.


    Toward people related to Ye Yuan, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure also personally transferred them, making their statuses have massive promotions.


    The following matters, Ye Yuan stood aloof from worldly affairs, the other three parties carried out a seesaw game that dragged on for days.


    The remaining 40% share, naturally neither of these three parties were willing to give in half a step.


    But the most tragic one was still the Southern Border Alliance.


    They did not have pill formulas in their hands and had no way of contending with the other two parties at all.


    But all these, Ye Yuan did not go and pay attention to it.


    Ye Yuan continued using the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion��s name. Under Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s Pill Tower��s name, he officially set up the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion and opened Fragrant Medicine Pavilion��s branches all over the Southern Border.


    This time, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City finally stood in front of the stage and chowed down on the largest slice of Southern Border��s cake.


    More than a thousand years passed. Heavenly Eagle Imperial City groomed one batch of powerful alchemists after another.


    The present Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was an alchemy holy land in reality as well as in name.


    Even the other seven great holy lands were also greatly inferior when compared to it!


    The quality of Fragrant Medicine Pavilion��s medicinal pills was extremely high. Coupled with Ye Yuan��s name that was well-known throughout the Southern Border now, the moment Fragrant Medicine Pavilion��s business opened, it was popular to the extreme.


    Uncountable divine essence stones and uncountable spirit medicines, both came in a throng.


    Toward this, apart from being envious, the other three parties could only accept it helplessly too.


    Ye Yuan was very crafty, hurting their tendons and fracturing bones, but he did not press them into a dead end either.


    Although 40% share was little, with the vastness of the Southern Border, they still had a massive revenue.


    As long as it did not reach the point of a life-and-death struggle, there was no need for Heavenly Emperors to come forward.


    On this day, outside Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, several dozen Empyrean powerhouses were shockingly present, the commotion shocking the heavens.


    Ye Yuan swept his gaze across and said in a clear voice, ��Everybody, this Ye has an irreconcilable hatred with Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang! Today, this Ye will launch an offensive toward Jiu Shang Bodhidharma and end the enmity. Over a thousand years ago, Old Villain Jiu Shang suffered serious injuries. While he��s weak, take his life! With fellow daoists setting off today, this Ye is endlessly grateful. This Ye will remember this favor in my heart!��


    ��Master Ye is too courteous!��


    ��Master Ye��s enemy is our enemy, isn��t that so?��


    ��Fiend race��s evildoer should die in the first place! This time, render him beyond redemption!��


    �� ��


    All the Empyreans immediately answered.


    2000 years after coming to the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan��s strength finally grew to the point of wreaking vengeance and redressing hatred for his father!


    The main culprit of Immortal Grove��s chaos was Jiu Shang!


    Over a thousand years ago, Jiu Shang even infiltrated the Immortal Grove World and almost destroyed Immortal Grove.


    This enmity, Ye Yuan never forgot about it.


    Now, Ye Yuan��s feathers were already voluptuous and no longer had any scruples!


    Hence, he launched an offensive toward Jiu Shang!

 Chapter 2222 - Challenging Formation

    At Fiendflame Mountain, Jiu Shang Bodhidharma.


    Not long before, this place was bustling and was the strongest Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda in the vicinity.


    But now, Fiendflame Mountain appeared very withered.


    More than a thousand years ago, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang returned, being seriously injured and did not have time to explain anything. He fell into slumber.


    Now, Fiendflame Mountain was currently in a state of the mountain pass being sealed off.


    In the mountains, more than ten fiend race True God Realm powerhouses were currently patrolling.


    A fiend said, ��Sigh, this sort of wretched days, no idea when it will come to an end!��


    ��Isn��t that so! Thinking about back then, how glorious was our Jiu Shang Bodhidharma? Whenever we aren��t happy, we��ll go and capture some slaves to play with from the nearby human areas. Now, we��re almost becoming cowardly turtles!��


    ��Heh, I heard that Lord Jiu Shang already woke up not long ago! Very soon, we��ll be back out there!��


    The moment the others heard, they were immediately incomparably invigorated.


    This sort of wretched days, they seriously could not stand it any longer.


    ��Is it true? Reiter, you mustn��t lie to us!��


    Reiter chuckled and said, ��Of course it��s true! Actually, Lord Jiu Shang already woke up 200 years ago, but his injuries were too severe. He could not leave the mountain for some time. I even heard that it was a human junior who inflicted those heavy wounds on him. After he recovers his strength, he��ll find that brat to settle the scores!��


    ��Excellent! These shitty days have finally come to an end!��


    The group of fiends was currently thrilled when suddenly, several dozen black dots approached from afar, flying over towards this side.


    ��Humans! Hiss �� Several dozen Empyreans?! What a terrifying line-up! Q-Quickly go back and report this!�� Reiter��s expression changed drastically and he turned around, wanting to flee.


    But unfortunately, it was already too late.


    A youth in white clothing stepped out of the void and arrived before the fiends.


    Reiter��s heart shook wildly, this youth in white was not old, but the pressure he gave him was akin to lofty mountains.


    Nowhere to escape, Reiter could only toughen his scalp and bow down.


    ��Reiter offers greetings to the human race��s Lord Empyrean!��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��Where��s the entrance?��


    Reiter was startled inwardly and said, ��Your Excellency, our Fiendflame Mountain is already sealed off ����


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan flicked his finger, several True God Realm fiends by the side directly turned into flying ashes.


    Reiter��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��Y-Your Excellency, follow me.��


    At this time, several dozen Empyreans tore across the sky and arrived with a howl.


    A monstrous wave even surged in Reiter��s heart. These Empyreans�� strength, each and every one of their auras was incomparably powerful.


    It seemed like �� the arrivals did not have good intentions!


    Reiter led the group of Empyreans and arrived at the entrance area of Fiendflame Mountain.


    The entire Fiendflame Mountain already activated the mountain protecting grand array, completely sealing shut the entire mountain pass gates.


    People from the outside world could not enter it at all.


    ��Human race Empyreans, please halt! Advance any further and we��ll activate the mountain protecting grand array, and annihilate you all!��


    The Empyreans had not arrived in front of the mountain pass gates yet when a warning voice came from within the grand array.


    Several dozen Empyreans appearing at the same time, this commotion was seriously too big, wanting to conceal it would not even work.


    Reiter cautiously sneaked a peek at Ye Yuan, feeling rather disdainful in his heart.


    Fiendflame Mountain��s mountain protecting grand array was the result of Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang expending a huge price to ask a fiend race Eight-star Formation God to lay down. Its power was immense.


    This grand array could even block a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, and yet this guy actually barged over so impetuously? Wasn��t this looking for a rebuff?


    While talking, the mountain protecting grand array already activated, emitting waves of terrifying pressure.


    The group of Empyreans that came together, each and every one of them also revealed looks of surprise.


    With rank eight divine rank grand array, wouldn��t eradicating a few Empyreans be easily accomplished?


    But just as everyone was in shock, Ye Yuan took a step out and directly entered the grand array without the slightest hesitation.


    The Empyreans turned pale with fright and cried out in surprise, ��Master Ye!��


    Courting death! Reiter sneered coldly in his heart to no end.


    Over at the grand array, Empyrean Cloudburst who was maintaining the array formation sneered coldly and said, ��Truly a reckless and blind thing! Master Moji��s Black Goblet Sly Fiend Formation, even Lord Jiu Shang himself don��t even dare to clash head-on. A mere Empyrean actually dares to barge in!��


    Finished talking, his hand-seals moved rapidly, the mountain protecting grand array started operating frenziedly.


    Fiendish energy surged. A pressure that did not lose to a Heavenly Emperor suddenly descended.


    Countless streaks of black light suddenly lit up and smashed over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan standing in the grand array alone appeared extremely insignificant.


    The grand array surged with fiendish energy as if it had the might of heaven and earth.


    That sort of feeling was like Ye Yuan standing on the shore alone, facing a tsunami that came roaring.


    Empyrean Cloudburst��s gaze turned intent, and he said with a cold yell, ��DIE!��


    Empyrean Cloudburst was a Seven-star Formation God himself. Controlling the array formation was naturally done with high proficiency.


    Such a large formation, in addition to having someone controlling it, the power could not be imagined.


    The human Empyreans�� hearts leaped to their throats. This energy undulation was too terrifying.


    Each ray of black light was sufficient to one-shot an Empyrean!


    This was a true emperor-level grand array. This was far from what Empyreans were able to resist.


    Even though they knew that Ye Yuan��s array formation was formidable, this was a rank eight divine rank grand array after all!


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Countless terrifying attacks landed where Ye Yuan was standing.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly moved, taking a step.


    Then, those countless berserk attacks instantly turned into nothing!


    The sound of the thunder was loud, but the rain was little.


    The astonishing momentum turned into smoke curling up in the air!


    Empyrean Cloudburst trembled all over. His pupils constricted as he cried out in surprise, ��This �� How is this possible? How does he know that that��s the formation eye? Could it be �� a coincidence?��


    The human Empyreans were shocked until they broke out into a cold sweat, only then, letting out a long sigh in relief.


    They discovered that they still underestimated Ye Yuan!


    For Master Ye to dare challenge the formation by himself, he naturally had assurance.


    However, some Empyreans�� brows also furrowed together.


    What was the use of Ye Yuan entering alone?


    While at this time, Ye Yuan took out a divine essence stone, then pointed at the void. The divine essence stone turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared.


    Following that, he took another step out, moving forward again.


    Empyrean Cloudburst��s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��Impossible! It must be a coincidence! This Empyrean studied painstakingly for over 100 thousand years in order to fully control this set of array formation! But he only took one look and he found where the formation eye is?��


    A rank eight divine rank array formation was incomparably difficult to understand, practically already touching Heaven Dao.


    Even if he was a Seven-star Formation God, thoroughly controlling this set of array formations expended tremendous effort too.


    Even so, he only merely controlled it too.


    A rank eight divine rank array formation was not what he could comprehend at all.


    Although this brat in front of him was an Empyrean, he was too young. It was simply impossible to see through the array formation with one glance.


    Hence, the spells in his hands urged once more, the grand array activated once again.


    The clouds and wind surged!


    But, when those countless terrifying attacks landed, Ye Yuan took another diagonal stride.


    All of the attacks dissipated without a trace once more!


    Then, he took out a divine essence stone again and pointed at the void, turning into a cloud of mist once more.


    ��This �� Just who the hell is this young man?��


    ��No way, right? Could it be that the mountain protecting grand array actually can��t stop an Empyrean?��


    ��This brat wouldn��t be Master Moji��s disciple, right?��


    �� ��


    Inside the grand array, the fiend race powerhouses were all unbelievably shocked.

 Chapter 2223 - Very Superficial

    Empyrean Cloudburst became more and more alarmed!


    At this point, if he still could not perceive Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao strength, then he would be a fool.


    Ye Yuan��s every stride stepped on a formation eye.


    As long as it was on a formation eye, no matter how he urged the array formation, he could not harm the other party.


    But the crux was that wanting to find every formation eye was far too difficult!


    Rank eight divine rank array formation was eternally changing, akin to a world evolving.


    The complexity involved, ordinary martial artists could not gauge it at all.


    But Ye Yuan only took one glance and understood?


    Cold sweat poured profusely out of Empyrean Cloudburst��s back. He was scared by Ye Yuan.


    This guy was Lord Jiu Shang��s enemy?


    Just what kind of a freak did Lord Jiu Shang provoke?


    ��Humph! So what even if you can crack the formation? A mere middle-stage Empyrean Realm, could it be that our Jiu Shang Bodhidharma is still scared of you?��


    Empyrean Cloudburst laughed coldly and transmitted his voice through the array formation. He said, ��All Empyreans head for the mountain pass gates and gather!��


    The voice was like thunder, spreading to every corner of Jiu Shang Bodhidharma.


    For some time, more than ten black shadows sped like the wind, flying towards the mountain gates.


    When they saw the Ye Yuan above the void, each and every one of them was shocked speechless.


    A mighty rank eight divine rank grand array actually could not stop an Empyrean?


    ��All of you prepare well. Once this punk successfully breaks through, you all will encircle and finish him off!�� Empyrean Cloudburst said coldly.


    The moment the other Empyreans saw Ye Yuan��s realm, they could not help revealing disdainful looks.


    ��Cloudburst, you��re also kicking up too much of a fuss over nothing! A mere middle-stage Empyrean Realm scared you until like this?��


    ��Yeah! You alone are sufficient too, right? Call us over for what?��


    Empyrean Cloudburst frowned and said, ��This brat is a little mysterious! Right now, Lord Jiu Shang is seriously injured and hasn��t recovered. It��s better to be safe and make provisions for contingencies!��


    Hearing Empyrean Cloudburst said so, the others could only shut their mouths.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was actually able to rush the rank eight divine rank grand array. They were also indeed extremely surprised.


    Inside the grand array, Ye Yuan advanced unhurriedly. It was as if strolling idly in a courtyard.


    Half a day later, Ye Yuan finally walked to the end of the grand array.


    The final formation eye!


    Empyrean Cloudburst��s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a cold cry, ��Everybody, prepare!��


    More than a dozen Empyreans also had solemn faces, all accumulating power, awaiting release, planning on giving Ye Yuan a lethal blow after he broke through the array formation.


    Ye Yuan stood still and took out another divine essence stone, and pointed at the void.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, the entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma started shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake.


    Crack ��


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Above the void, one fine fissure after another actually appeared on the Black Goblet Sly Fiend Formation.


    The fissures grew longer and longer, larger and larger.


    Empyrean Cloudburst��s eyes were full of shock. He was already unable to control the array formation!


    The rank eight divine rank grand array �� collapsed!


    Back then, Heavenly Emperor Moji spent several hundred years of time in order to set up this grand array.


    But now, it crumbled apart in an instant.


    For a moment, there was flying sand and rolling pebbles, hills toppling and the earth quaking.


    The entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma fell into chaos.


    Empyrean Cloudburst looked at that frail figure above the void blankly, a look of astonishment on his face.


    A Seven-star Formation God cracked a rank eight divine rank grand array?


    This world was too crazy!


    One had to know, passing through a grand array and destroying a grand array, these were two totally different concepts.


    A rank eight divine rank grand array, each formation eye was interlinked with each formation eye, forming a perfect ensemble.


    The grand array operated, without rest.


    Wanting to find a hint of flaw from hundreds of millions of pieces of information, and to destroy it, this was absolutely not the work of a single day!


    Furthermore, destroying the formation was a hundred times, a thousand times harder than setting up the formation!


    But Ye Yuan only walked one round in the grand array and wrecked it?


    He, Empyrean Cloudburst, spent more than 100 thousand years just in order to control this array formation!


    Was this fellow still human?


    ��You �� How did you do it?�� Empyrean Cloudburst muttered.


    Ye Yuan looked down at Empyrean Cloudburst and said coolly, ��Those who find it hard don��t know; those who know won��t find it hard. This array formation is very superficial. Cracking it isn��t difficult.��


    ��S-Superficial?�� Empyrean Cloudburst smiled bitterly. He felt that his brain was not quite sufficient to use.


    He was truly unable to imagine that a rank eight divine rank array formation would one day actually be described as superficial by someone!


    Rank eight!


    The rank of Heavenly Emperor!


    No matter which Dao, as long as it reached rank eight, it already scaled the mountain and looked down upon the world!


    Formation Dao, Alchemy Dao, Talisman Dao, Sword Dao, so on and so forth, without exception.


    And reaching this rank was as hard as ascending to the heavens regardless of which Dao.


    Just like when Empyreans broke through to Heavenly Emperor, the difficulty involved made people despair!


    Formation Dao entering rank eight was Heavenly Emperor level array formation.


    Now, it was actually said to be superficial by someone!


    How aggravating!


    But Empyrean Cloudburst also had no choice to admit that Ye Yuan had the qualifications to say this sentence.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan did not need the slightest effort when rushing the formation.


    Saying that it was superficial �� did not seem to have any issue.


    These several decades of amnesia had huge significance to Ye Yuan.


    His understanding of Alchemy Dao and Formation Dao already transcended the appearance, and he glimpsed right at the source!


    The rank eight divine rank array formation that seemed gigantic was merely constituted out of one small array formation after another in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    No matter how powerful the array formation, it could not escape this scope.


    Just like solving a mathematical problem, one could have several kinds, even several dozens of simple algorithms.


    However, when encountering a truly complex problem, one would discover that these simple algorithms were all not useful anymore.


    And at this time, the most basic calculation method became an omnipotent calculation method!


    No matter how complex the mathematics problem, it could not break away from the scope of basic calculation methods!


    Therefore, was there any meaning to researching one plus one equals two?


    The significance was too great!


    Alchemy Dao was like so, and Formation Dao was also like that.


    Rank eight divine rank array formations were strong, but in Ye Yuan��s eyes, it was merely a pile of matchstick frames.


    He took out a few pieces of matchsticks and the frame fell apart.


    Just that simple!


    It was just that these things, even if he said for Empyrean Cloudburst to hear, the latter also would not understand them.


    Those dozen over Empyreans stood there in a daze and did not know what they should do for a moment.


    They mustered everything up to kill Ye Yuan, but all of a sudden, the house collapsed!


    Now, the entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma was exposed.


    But there were �� several dozen human Empyreans outside!


    ��Hahaha �� truly broadened my horizons! Rank eight divine essence array formation collapsed in an instant! Younger Brother Ye, your Formation Dao strength is probably already not beneath your Alchemy Dao!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan recovered from the shock first and said with a big laugh.


    ��An Empyrean cracking a rank eight divine rank array formation, truly remarkable! Incredible!��


    ��Master Ye is well-deserving of being the Southern Border��s number one person, cracking a Heavenly Emperor formation leisurely! Formidable! Domineering!��


    The human Empyreans all started exclaiming with admiration from the bottom of their hearts. Today, they really broadened their horizons.


    Empyrean Cloudburst��s expression was incomparably ugly. But now that it came to this, he could only toughen his scalp and said, ��This human brother, this place is Jiu Shang Bodhidharma. This is Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang��s territory. You ruined our mountain protecting grand array, aren��t you afraid of Lord Heavenly Emperor taking revenge?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a cold smile, ��Stop borrowing the majesty of a tiger! That dog was severely wounded by me and won��t recover so fast! Make him come out and die for me!��

 Chapter 2224 - Blood Yama Hall Master!

    ��What? It��s you!�� Empyrean Cloudburst��s heart shook wildly, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment.


    It was not that they did not believe it, but Ye Yuan was seriously too young.


    They always thought that the one who injured Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    Who knew that it was actually such an Empyrean Realm young man!


    Furthermore, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang was already injured for more than a thousand years.


    A thousand years ago, what strength was Ye Yuan at? How could he possibly injure Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang until like that?


    That was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, right?


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses had extremely tenacious life force and were extremely hard to kill.


    But when Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang fled back, he was already weak until being no different from almost dead.


    An Empyrean could injure a Heavenly Emperor until like that?


    If they knew that Ye Yuan was just Divine Vestige Realm when he injured Jiu Shang, which was also Celestial Deity Realm, no idea how they would feel.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��What? Don��t believe it? Call him out and you��ll know!��


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, on a distant peak, a cloud of black fog whirled away, the speed swift to the extreme.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, taking a stride out, traveling ten thousand miles in an instant!


    In a flash, Ye Yuan actually reached first despite launching later, blocking in front of the black fog.


    ��Spatial law!�� The pupils of the group of fiend race Empyreans shrunk, exclaiming in surprise.


    ��Brat, you��re courting death!�� Inside the black fog, an astonishing angry roar came over.


    A horrifying energy undulation directly shrouded toward Ye Yuan.


    This aura was actually late-stage Empyrean!


    Although Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang had not recovered his strength, he already had late-stage Empyrean strength.


    This sudden scene made everyone��s faces change wildly.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, careful!�� Empyrean Chaoyuan cried out in shock.


    A fiend race Empyrean said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, reckless and blind thing!��


    A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how injured he was, Jiu Shang was still a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    After a thousand years of rest and recuperation, even if Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang did not recover to his peak, it was also not what everyone could block.


    Ye Yuan��s face was rippleless like an ancient well, lightly opening his mouth unhurriedly.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Time became still!


    Space froze!


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!��


    With another leisurely sentence, an enormous dragon emerged out of the void, thrusting a claw toward the black fog.


    Rumble!


    The speed that the black fog returned was faster than when it went!


    This claw directly kicked him to the foot of the mountain pass gates!


    Ye Yuan leisurely took a step and returned before the mountain pass gates amidst everyone��s dumbfounded gazes.


    ��This �� This �� What happened?�� A fiend Empyrean��s gaze was sluggish, still not quite understanding what happened just now.


    Wasn��t Ye Yuan going to die?


    Why was Lord Jiu Shang kicked back in an instant?


    Empyrean Chaoyuan��s gaze turned intent and he exclaimed, ��That��s Heavenly Dao True Word! In that instant earlier, he freezed space!��


    The Empyreans sucked in a cold breath, their gazes full of horror.


    After Ye Yuan returned, he displayed astonishing alchemy strength.


    But he had never exhibited his martial strength in front of people before.


    Today, he used two innate divine abilities consecutively, shocking everyone until they stared dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    These two paramount dragon race innate divine abilities were too domineering!


    Empyrean Cloudburst muttered, ��Spatial law, Time Freeze, cracking an emperor formation ��This �� Who the hell is this guy?��


    ��Impossible! This is impossible! It��s just been a short thousand years! How can your strength possibly advance so quickly?�� In the black fog, came Jiu Shang��s frustrated sounding cry.


    The voice was filled with alarm and terror.


    Thinking back then, he transformed into Tang Yan and infiltrated into the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan was still just a Celestial Deity Realm little fellow.


    At that time, Ye Yuan was merely an ant-like existence in his eyes!


    He, an exalted Heavenly Emperor, did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    All of Jiu Shang��s attention was on Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    But now, merely over a thousand years�� time had passed. Not only did Ye Yuan enter the ranks of Empyrean, his strength could even forcefully contend with a late-stage Empyrean!


    This kind of improvement could simply be rated as monstrous!


    One had to know, this brat was merely a little crawling bug that walked out of the Immortal Grove World!


    But now, a little bug trampled him, this Heavenly Emperor, underfoot!


    Ye Yuan looked at the black fog, his gaze slightly cold as he said, ��Jiu Shang, our score should also be settled properly!��


    Suddenly, the void trembled, several dozen figures appeared in the sky above Fiendflame Mountain.


    These several dozen figures were actually all Empyreans!


    One of them was dressed in black robes, being well-built and full of power and grandeur. His aura was extremely thick. It was shockingly a Heavenly Emperor!


    Seeing this scene, the human Empyreans�� faces changed suddenly.


    No one would have thought that the fiend race would actually have so many powerhouses jump out all of a sudden.


    With this, both sides�� strength suddenly reversed!


    ��Hahaha �� Boy, do you think that this Heavenly Emperor would resign myself to death? Since you��re walking right into a trap, then this Heavenly Emperor will send you on your way to go accompany Old Fart Immortal Grove!�� In the black fog, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang laughed wildly.


    ��Blackfuse, help me kill this boy!�� Jiu Shang said to that Heavenly Emperor.


    Blackfuse��s gaze turned toward Ye Yuan, but he did not make a move immediately. He started sizing up Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said, ��Boy, you��re �� Source Night?��


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, ��You��re the Blood Yama Hall Master?��


    Ye Yuan was very clear about the outfit of these people. It was precisely the Blood Yama Hall when he infiltrated into the fiend race back then!


    Back then, his horizons were not broad, and even thought that the Blood Yama Hall was merely a faction that depended on Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang.


    He did not expect that there was actually still a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in this Blood Yama Hall!


    Blackfuse shook his head and said, ��The Blood Yama Hall spread all over the fiend race. It��s much more powerful than you imagine, this emperor is just a branch hall��s hall master, that��s all. Rather, it��s you! In just 2000 years, you actually already broke through to middle-stage Empyrean, truly terrifying talent!��


    Ye Yuan scammed the Blood Yama Hall back then and brought away the entire Purple Extreme Hall, becoming the target of the entire Blood Yama Hall��s pursuit.


    This matter was naturally just a tiny sea-spray to a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, being not worthy of paying attention to.


    But this Source Night triggered Great Dao Heavenly Melody, and he changed the Fiend Medicine Hall, making the strength of Capone Capital City��s fiend apothecaries multiply.


    This matter had once caused a stir in the entire Blood Yama Hall��s Fiend Medicine Halls for a period of time. Even the Fiend Medicine Halls in imperial cities and imperial capitals headed to Capone Capital City to learn from their experience.


    Presently, that batch of fiend race alchemists that Ye Yuan nurtured back then, they already became the fiend race master-level alchemy masters. Their statuses were venerated.


    After over 2000 years passed, the tiny action that Ye Yuan took against the fiend race alchemists back then, changed the entire fiend race��s alchemy world!


    Of course, this was all events after Ye Yuan left.


    It was also precisely because of this that Blackfuse had once specially asked for Source Night��s drawing. He memorized Ye Yuan��s appearance.


    Back then, Ye Yuan transformed into Source Night. His appearance was not altered greatly, so Blackfuse recognized him with one glance.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I didn��t expect that a measly little Origin Deity Realm martial artist actually caught the attention of a Heavenly Emperor. Should this Ye feel honored or not?��


    But Blackfuse shook his head and said, ��Looking at it now, my attention to you was still too little! But speaking of which, this Heavenly Emperor still has to thank you!��


    Blackfuse recounted the matter of the Fiend Medicine Hall, making everyone have shocked faces.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually still had such a past.

 Chapter 2225 - The Supreme Art of War Is to Subdue the Enemy Without a Battle!

    The group of Empyreans could not help being rendered speechless. Seriously, even the fiend race had legends of Ye Yuan!


    However, Ye Yuan was not surprised at this.


    The fiend race��s alchemy skills were too weak. There were plenty of rooms for improvement.


    His casual pointer or two was naturally greatly beneficial to the fiend race��s alchemy skill systematization.


    Hearing Blackfuse made small talk with Ye Yuan, Jiu Shang was at a loss on what to do.


    What the freaking hell was going on here?


    ��Blackfuse! What��s the meaning of this?�� Jiu Shang said in a solemn voice.


    Blood Yama Hall ignored him and looked at Ye Yuan as he said coolly, ��Source Night, your strength is decent. Why don��t you join our Blood Yama Hall and help this emperor manage the Fiend Medicine Hall? How about it?��


    ��Blackfuse!�� In the black fog, Jiu Shang��s voice was full of alarm and anger.


    It was just that the human race Empyreans all revealed strange looks.


    Making the Priest Temple��s Second Sage, the Southern Border��s number one person, Ye Yuan, go and manage your Blood Yama Hall��s lousy Fiend Medicine Hall?


    This Heavenly Emperor was specifically here to be in charge of jokes, right?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You can��t afford to engage me!��


    The Blood Yama Hall��s Empyreans all sucked in a cold breath.


    This boy was so arrogant!


    But Blackfuse did not get angry and just said coolly, ��There is nobody that my Blood Yama Hall can��t afford to hire! You��re a human martial artist and don��t know the power of my Blood Yama Hall! You just have to know that with this Heavenly Emperor��s strength, I��m merely a minor character in the Blood Yama Hall too! How is it? Do you want to become a corpse here, or become my Fiend Medicine Hall��s hall master?��


    Blackfuse had a calm and collected look. In his eyes, Ye Yuan was merely an ant.


    Letting Ye Yuan be the Fiend Medicine Hall��s hall master was lifting him up to show favor.


    Either die or surrender.


    He believed that Ye Yuan was a clever man and knew what he should choose.


    ��Huhu, forget that you��re a measly little branch hall, even your Blood Yama Hall��s headquarters can��t accommodate this great deity too!��


    The void vibrated, a figure slowly walked out. It was precisely Bai Tong.


    Bai Tong looked at Blackfuse and could not help laughing as he said, ��You��re making the Sacrificial Temple��s Second Sage, Southern Border��s number one Seven-star Alchemy God, go be your branch hall��s hall master, aren��t you afraid of stuffing your tiny temple until it explodes?��


    The moment these words came out, Blackfuse��s face that was like an ancient well without any ripples, finally revealed a look of surprise.


    He looked toward Ye Yuan with an astonished face, attempting to link this young man with the Southern Border��s number one person whose limelight was recently glaring.


    Source Night was Ye Yuan?


    Blackfuse��s heart shook wildly!


    As the Blood Yama Hall��s hall master, how could he possibly not have heard of Ye Yuan��s great name before?


    But he did not think that the number one Alchemy Dao person whose name shook the Southern Border was actually the Source Night back then!


    ��You �� You��re Ye Yuan? Yeah! Source Night (Yuan Ye), Ye Yuan, why didn��t I think of it long ago!�� Blackfuse stared at Ye Yuan and said with a bitter smile.


    ��What? He��s the number one Alchemy Dao person, Ye Yuan, whose name shook the Southern Border?��


    ��Such an astonishing great figure is actually a snotty brat!��


    ��I heard that his Alchemy Dao already reached a transcendent realm, and he is extremely likely to be the next Medicine Ancestor!��


    �� ��


    Blood Yama Hall��s Empyreans were all incomparably shocked, looking at Ye Yuan.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan��s name shook the Southern Border.


    Even in the fiend race, Blackfuse was similarly shocked by Ye Yuan��s great name until his eardrums hurt.


    It was just that he did not expect that the puny little Origin Deity Realm martial artist back then actually already grew up to become the Southern Border��s leading authority figure now.


    Who was Ye Yuan?


    He was the Priest Temple��s Second Sage, an existence second only to the Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    What Bai Tong said was right! His temple was too small and could not accommodate this great deity!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��I said before, you can��t afford to engage me! Now, Brother Blackfuse, do you still want to interfere with my enmity with Jiu Shang?��


    Blackfuse��s gaze turned intent, and he said with a frown, ��Jiu Shang is my fiend race��s major power. How can this emperor sit by and watch him be killed by you?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The Blood Yama Hall does business too. Hall Master Blood Yama Hall, why don��t we discuss a deal, how about it?��


    The moment Blackfuse heard, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile.


    Talking with smart people saved things from becoming a hassle.


    Their Blood Yama Hall did not have any fiend race ties.


    He and Jiu Shang merely had a relationship of interest.


    Why would he really care about Jiu Shang��s life or death?


    Now that he knew Ye Yuan��s identity, how could Ye Yuan��s value be what a measly little Jiu Shang could be compared to?


    Even with 100 Jiu Shangs being added up, he was not as valuable as Ye Yuan!


    If Ye Yuan was just a human Alchemy God, then forget it. However, he was also extremely proficient in fiend pills.


    This way, Ye Yuan��s value to the Blood Yama Hall was huge.


    Unable to solicit, could cooperate!


    ��Huhu, wonder what business Master Ye wants to discuss?�� Blackfuse said with a light smile.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The Empyreans present, each person one Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pill!��


    ��Hiss ����


    The Empyreans present all sucked in a cold breath!


    Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pill was the same as the human race��s Emergence Spirit Ascension Pill, both medicinal pills that could advance cultivation.


    Dozens of Empyreans present meant dozens of Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pills!


    This was absolutely a splurge.


    Want to talk about Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pill, it was also no big deal, the fiend race��s fiend apothecaries at Seven-star level could refine it too.


    But Ye Yuan��s products were bound to be top quality!


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills were too hard to ask for.


    One of his rank seven divine pills was even more expensive than a peak Empyrean spirit treasure!


    One had to know, a medicinal pill was just a one-time consumable.


    While a peak Empyrean spirit treasure could be used long-term.


    The value between the two was unable to equate at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually gave away dozens of Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pills the moment he opened his mouth, how could they not be shocked?


    ��Lord Blackfuse!��


    ��Agree to him, Lord Blackfuse!��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of Blackfuse��s subordinates hyperventilated and already could not control themselves.


    Obtaining the Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pill which Ye Yuan refined, they might break through their shackles and improve their strength further!


    How could they resist this sort of temptation?


    As for Jiu Shang, he was long flung beyond the ninth heaven by them.


    ��Blackfuse, you �� you dare to sell me out?�� In the black fog, came Jiu Shang��s angry roar.


    Blackfuse could not be bothered with him at all. He just stared at Ye Yuan with a scorching gaze and said, ��Not enough!��


    He had long seen through that there was an irreconcilable grudge between Ye Yuan and Jiu Shang.


    Since that was the case, why wouldn��t he demand an exorbitant price?


    With him around, even if there was Bai Tong this Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yuan could forget about succeeding too.


    Heavenly Emperors terrorized a region, this was not said for laughs.


    As long as he was standing here, he was a ticking time bomb!


    Ye Yuan clearly understood this logic too, that was why he would negotiate a deal with him.


    Otherwise, why would Ye Yuan waste his breath with him?


    ��You say!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    This Blackfuse was a clever person too, Ye Yuan knew that it would not be so easy.


    As long as the other party did not go too far, Ye Yuan could satisfy it.


    Compared to a few medicinal pills, he valued Jiu Shang��s life more.


    Blackfuse grinned and said, ��Talking with smart people saves the effort! From now onward, my Blood Yama Hall will send five fiend apothecaries to the Pill Tower every 100 years! I hope that Master Ye won��t be stingy with teaching them!��


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. This Blackfuse was rather bold, to actually want him to train his subordinates!


    This way, even though he did not take on the post of Fiend Medicine Hall��s hall master, it was also pretty much the same.


    ��Okay, deal!�� Ye Yuan nodded his head slowly and said.

 Chapter 2226 - Here You Go

    The pitiful Jiu Shang was sold by the two people just like that.


    At his very moment, he experienced a suicide method called putting a noose around his own neck.


    ��Fine lad, it��s you who forced me! Blackfuse, this boy has a massive secret on him!�� Inside the black fog, came Jiu Shang��s cold laughter.


    Back then at the Immortal Grove World, the enormous mountain that descended from the sky had the aura of the Heavenspan Mountain!


    This kind of treasure was absolutely what even those invincible supreme lords would be moved by.


    Originally, he had always thought of finding Ye Yuan to take revenge after recovering from his injuries, and then snatch the giant mountain over while he was at it.


    But he never thought that the speed of Ye Yuan��s growth would actually be so fast.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan even struck first to gain the advantage, directly rushing for Fiendflame Mountain.


    But now, he was about to lose his life, what did he still want this secret for?


    Hence, he planned on disclosing this secret fully, and let Blackfuse and the Blood Yama Hall take care of Ye Yuan.


    He believed that they would definitely be very interested in this secret.


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and did not show anything.


    Blackfuse had a rather fascinated expression as he asked with a faint smile, ��Oh? What secret?��


    ��He has ����


    Rumble!


    Jiu Shang��s words were said halfway when Blackfuse suddenly pointed a finger out.


    Dao marks flashed, a terrifying energy undulation leveled the entire mountain to the ground!


    A finger move of a Heavenly Emperor was utterly terrifying!


    Everyone had their ears perked up, wanting to hear what Jiu Shang had to say.


    But who knew that Blackfuse did not give him the chance at all.


    However, Blackfuse did not kill Jiu Shang and even left him with one breath.


    Jiu Shang��s life, he was naturally saving it for Ye Yuan.


    Blackfuse looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Master Ye became the Second Sage��s Alchemy Dao��s number one person, the Sacrificial Temple��s Second Sage, how can there be no secrets on him?


    In this Heavenspan World, of the people who made great achievements, who did not have a great secret on them?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Medicine Ancestor, these people were bound to shoulder an astonishing secret on them.


    But so what?


    Even if he, Blackfuse, knew this secret, with the Priest Temple as the backer, could he still dare to do anything to Ye Yuan?


    Let alone that there was even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse present in front of him!


    It was simply laughable for Jiu Shang to want to use this secret to exchange for his life.


    Except, Blackfuse fancied himself clever and was presumptuous.


    The secret on Ye Yuan was indeed an incredible secret!


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain this supreme treasure, its value was simply immeasurable.


    Once divulged, Ye Yuan would probably suffer endless pursuit.


    However, Ye Yuan was far from concerned.


    He calculated that Blackfuse would not give Jiu Shang the chance to speak.


    He still had this bit of confidence.


    Since Ye Yuan had once used the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain before in front of Jiu Shang, how could he not have something up his sleeves?


    This was also one of the reasons why he cooperated with Blackfuse.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said with clasped hands, ��Many thanks for Hall Master Blackfuse taking action. It saved me quite a bit of trouble.��


    Blackfuse nodded and said, ��Since that��s the case, this Heavenly Emperor will leave first. Master Ye, please don��t forget the agreement between us.��


    After he was done talking, Blackfuse directly brought the excited-looking fiend race Empyreans and left Fiendflame Mountain.


    The human Empyreans all exchanged glances. A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse was sent away just like that?


    Second Sage was indeed Second Sage!


    ��Younger Brother Ye, what to do about these fiend Empyreans?�� Empyrean Chaoyuan said.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and said coolly, ��Kill them all!��


    Hence, a slaughter began.


    These fiend Empyreans were more or less related to the besieging of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove back then.


    Killing them was also considered giving an account to Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove.


    Ye Yuan put Jiu Shang away, eradicated Fiendflame Mountain, and completely wiped out the Kanuo lineage that took part in the invasion of the Immortal Grove World back then.


    This feud that bedeviled for millions of years was finally completely over.


    �� ��


    Everything settled down, Ye Yuan��s front foot had just returned to Heavenly Eagle and Blackfuse arrived right on his heels.


    He came in person!


    Coming along with him were also five Seven-star Fiend Apothecaries of the fiend race.


    ��Brother Blackfuse, you actually came personally!�� Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    Blackfuse smiled and said, ��Master Ye might still be unaware of how precious your medicinal pills are. If this Heavenly Emperor doesn��t come personally, it will probably be robbed halfway! The few of you, why haven��t you offered greetings to Master Ye?��


    The five great Empyreans all bowed in salutation and said, ��Offering greetings to Master Ye!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, considered to have responded, and said coolly, ��I��ll say the nasty things first! The few of you, upon entering my Pill Tower, you��ll have to adhere to my Pill Tower��s rules! Within these 100 years, your life and death are up to me!��


    The five people��s expressions turned somber, and they hurriedly complied.


    After he was done talking, Ye Yuan turned to Yun Yi beside him and said, ��Yun Yi, the five of them will be handed to you, just treat them as the Pill Tower��s ordinary disciples will do.��


    Yun Yi bowed and acknowledged. Casually summoning a Celestial Deity Realm youth who was dressed as a medicine boy, he instructed him, ��Qin Rui, the five of them will be handed over to you! Within these 100 years, you��ll be responsible for their Alchemy Dao studies.��


    ��Pffft!�� The five people nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    The five of them were late-stage Empyrean mighty experts, Seven-star Fiend Apothecaries.


    In the Blood Yama Hall, in the fiend race, which one of them did not have extremely venerated status?


    Ye Yuan��s name shook the Southern Border, they were only willing to go under Ye Yuan��s tutelage thanks to his name.


    But who knew that arriving at Heavenly Eagle, he actually let a little medicine boy be in charge of their alchemy studies?


    Even the Heavenly Emperor Blackfuse by the side also frowned slightly.


    Among the five people, the black-faced burly man in the front got up and said with displeasure, ��Ye Yuan, what��s the meaning of this? This Empyrean is, at any rate, a Fiend Medicine Hall��s hall master too. You��re actually letting a Celestial Deity Realm little medicine boy be in charge of us? We came from thousands of miles away. Are you intentionally humiliating us?��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that and said, ��Humiliating you all? This Ye doesn��t have that leisure time! Qin Rui, spar with these five seniors.��


    Qin Rui stepped out of the ranks and said with a bow, ��Yes, Grandmaster!��


    Done talking, he turned to the five people again and said, ��Senior, please teach me!��


    The black-faced burly man sneered and said, ��Very good! This Empyrean wants to see if, in this Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, even a little medicine boy can teach this Empyrean how to refine pills!��


    Half a day later, the five great Empyreans came before Blackfuse with their heads hung in shame.


    ��Your Excellency, we �� are ashamed!��


    Blackfuse was shocked until he stared dumbfounded in amazement. These five people were already his Fiend Medicine Hall��s pinnacle-most Seven-star Fiend Apothecaries. But they were actually devastated by a little medicine boy until their helmets and coats of mail were lost!


    Just how profound was this Pill Tower��s strength?


    He suddenly somewhat understood why Ye Yuan��s fame would be so resounding.


    The fiend race��s alchemy skills did not even count as trash in front of Ye Yuan!


    Blackfuse drew a deep breath, reined in his thoughts, and said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, you all follow this little master and learn Alchemy Dao properly then!��


    The five people no longer had any complaints and nodded in agreement.


    A month later, Blackfuse brought several dozens of Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pills and left Heavenly Spiritual Pill Bodhidharma gleefully.


    With these several dozens of Tyrant Blood Heavenly Fiend Pills, their branch hall��s strength would soar significantly!


    While those five Empyreans stayed at the Pill Tower and became Qin Rui��s little medicine boys.


    On the second day Blackfuse left, Ye Yuan brought Jiu Shang and returned to the Immortal Grove World.

 Chapter 2227 - Samsara?

    In front of the lone grave, the youth in white clothing sat on the ground. He leaned against a large tree. Holding a wine gourd in his hand, he drank the wine inside.


    His expression appeared somewhat lonely.


    Inside the pale-white flames, a wisp of remnant soul shouted himself hoarse, appearing extremely terrified.


    ��Ye Yuan, I was wrong! I beg you, don��t kill me! As long as you spare my life, I will work like a horse for you in the future ����


    ��Noisy!�� Ye Yuan��s snapped his fingers. The power of the flames soared once more.


    Jiu Shang screamed miserably without ceasing, his fiend soul becoming even weaker.


    This lone grave was erected for Ji Zhengyang by Ye Yuan back then, on the former site of the Medicine King Hall.


    Ye Yuan drank a mouthful of wine and said to the gravestone, ��It��s been 2000 over years, Father, your deep hatred has finally been avenged. This karma �� is finally settled! Refining Jiu Shang��s remnant soul requires seven by seven, 49 days. This child will keep watch over you here for 49 days.��


    Ye Yuan drank another mouthful, the corners of his mouth smiling as he said, ��Still remember that back then, when I was six, you taught me pill refinement for the first time. I refined it into a ball of paste. You clapped your hands and laughed loudly, praising that my talent surpasses others.��


    ��You told me to not be arrogant and not be rash, so I devoted himself to comprehending Dao for 200 years, and rose to prominence overnight in Cloudmarsh City!��


    ���� ����


    It was like he was drinking with an old friend while engaging in small talk.


    As he chatted, Ye Yuan��s tears already drenched his shirt.


    A father��s love for his son; for more than 500 years, Ji Zhengyang gave the most noble fatherly love in this world to Ye Yuan.


    For Ye Yuan to be able to have today��s accomplishments, Ji Zhengyang took immense credit.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know that Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s appraisal behind his back were these rare and commendable qualities in him.


    Apart from experiencing huge changes, there was still a huge portion that originated from his father, Ji Zhengyang.


    One could say that Ji Zhengyang was the beacon light of Ye Yuan��s path in life.


    Even after reincarnating, before Ji Zhengyang��s remnant soul dissipated, he still taught Ye Yuan one final lesson.


    Seven by seven, 49 days were about to pass in a twinkle, Ye Yuan poured some wine. Then he discovered that the wine gourd was already dry.


    Wine drying up, the tears also dried along with the wind.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up, looked at the gravestone, and said, ��Originally I wanted to accompany Father a few more days. It��s just that presently, Lingxue��s life and death is unknown, while Li-er is trapped in the abyss. The Heavenspan World is about to fall into an upheaval. This child has no choice but to go! After everything settles down, this child will come and accompany Father again.��


    At this time, Jiu Shang��s final wisp of remnant soul was also thoroughly refined.


    Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang completely dissipated into heaven and earth.


    Watching Jiu Shang evaporate into thin air, a hint of relief flashed across in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    His thoughts were incomparably smooth and actually entered a state of emptiness.


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain flew out of his body involuntarily and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan viewed it and actually produced a feeling of a trace of bloodline connection.


    When looking at the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain again, the scenery before Ye Yuan��s eyes was already completely different.


    This Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was an assemblage of colors, but constructed and formed out of tiny pieces of cubes.


    These little cubes divulged incomparably complicated and detailed information, making Ye Yuan unable to grasp it too.


    ��This is �� the aura of the Great Dao source? Yeah, the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain is incomparably profound and capable of letting me comprehend the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, this kind of cultivation method. It��s naturally closely linked with the Great Dao source! I just don��t know what relationship this Lesser Heavenspan Mountain has with that Heavenspan Mountain.��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows jumped slightly. A wisp of green smoke suddenly emerged above Ji Zhengyang��s gravestone.


    It flashed across in a twinkle!


    Ye Yuan��s heart jumped wildly and was incomparably shocked.


    ��This �� This is �� Father��s remnant soul has already completely dissipated! How can there possibly still be divine soul undulations? That �� is also �� the aura of source?�� Ye Yuan was shocked until he could not express it with words.


    Back then in the Endless World, he watched his father��s remnant soul dissipate into thin air with his own eyes.


    But now, what was with the divine soul undulation on the gravestone?


    ��Remnant soul �� Karma �� Source �� Could it be �� samsara?��


    Ye Yuan��s mind flashed like lightning, instantly thinking of many things.


    Father��s soul did not disintegrate but was a remnant soul dissipating.


    Once Jiu Shang died, all of Father��s karma in this world was settled.


    Hence, Father turned into a trace of source and went to reincarnate?


    But �� was there really a venue for reincarnation in this world?


    Why was it never heard of?


    Where did one go to reincarnate?


    This world always had legends about reincarnation.


    But it had never been heard of that anyone really reincarnated.


    A person dying was like the lamp extinguishing, all thoughts becoming ashes!


    Dying was dying.


    Even for those Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, no one had heard before of someone who reincarnated and ascended the summit again too.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, looking toward the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    Following that, his gaze seemed to pass through the void again, looking at the Heavenspan World, the Heavenspan Mountain.


    ��Just what��s there on the Heavenspan Mountain? Even Dao Ancestors can��t climb to the summit. Can I �� go up? Father �� wouldn��t really have entered samsara?��


    Ye Yuan muttered under his breath and suddenly felt an extremely strong impulse toward the Heavenspan Mountain.


    No idea how long passed either, Ye Yuan��s gaze suddenly turned intent and he said, ��Father, if there��s really samsara in this world, this child will definitely find you and let you recover your memories! What you and Mother went through in this lifetime is far too painful! I��ll definitely think of a way to make it up to you!��


    Ye Yuan re-living another life, even though Father Ye Hang and Mother Ren Hongling had some gray days, they loved each other for life.


    Presently, under Ye Yuan��s protection, reaching old age together, even living forever, was not something hard.


    But, his previous life��s father, Ji Zhengyang, and mother, Ao Jun, experienced far too many bumpy roads and setbacks.


    The two people were in the right place, but at the wrong time, and they were unable to be together from the beginning to the end.


    Ye Yuan rescued his mother, but he was forever unable to rescue his father. This was the biggest regret in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Maybe he still had a chance to make up for this regret?


    Ye Yuan was not sure, but as long as there was a trace of possibility, he would not give up!��


    �� ��


    Bidding farewell to Ye Hang husband and wife, and his other, Ao Jun, Ye Yuan returned to the Heavenspan World once more.


    Presently, the Southern Border��s general situation had already settled down. With Bai Tong holding down the fort, he could also leave with his mind at ease.


    After the great battle with Nineorigin the last time, not only was Ye Yuan��s chaos world utterly destroyed, his fleshy body debilitated, his divine soul even almost turned to ashes.


    If not for Dustless deploying the Soul Suppressing Pearl to protect Ye Yuan at the final juncture, he would not have lost his memories so easily.


    After all, Nineorigin was not an enemy that Ye Yuan had encountered in the past.


    He was too strong!


    His strength was sufficient to rival a human race��s Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    What kind of concept was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor?


    Someone like Jiu Shang, he could kill him with a puff of air!


    For Ye Yuan to be able to survive under his hands, it was already a miracle.


    But the price was Dustless falling into slumber.


    Without Dustless��s support, Mu Lingxue��s spiritual sense became weaker and weaker.


    Hence, after suppressing the Southern Border��s upheaval, Ye Yuan had to leave!


    He had to go to Shinra Ghost Region, to search for a natural treasure called Silvernet Blood Essence.


    Silvernet Blood Essence was immensely helpful for recovering soul bodies and could help Dustless recover.


    However, just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, Ning Tianping also came to bid farewell to him.


    At present, Ning Tianping already broke through to the Empyrean Realm with the help of Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills.


    His strength was already suddenly to go and take revenge for his master, Mo Lifei.


    Mo Lifei had once said before, his opponent��s strength was merely at the peak True God Realm.


    Even if he broke through after so many years, with Ning Tianping��s strength, it was naturally a cinch to deal with him. Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to stop him.


    Ye Yuan gave Ning Tianping some medicinal pills and Empyrean spirit treasures to protect himself. This master and servant two people left, going on their own path.

 Chapter 2228 - Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean Over!

    Shinra Ghost Region was a land with extremely strong yin energy. Human martial artists did not dare to approach at all.


    Legends had it that this place was once an ancient battlefield, with countless powerhouses who had died.


    Countless remnant souls and skeletons experienced year after year of changes and became Ghost Dao powerhouses.


    And this ancient battlefield also gradually evolved into the Shinra Ghost Region.


    This place, Ghost Dao powerhouses gathered, there was no lack of Empyrean level powerhouses.


    With Ye Yuan walking into Fengdu Ghost City, he immediately attracted the attention of many Ghost Dao powerhouses[1].


    ��Eh, it��s actually a human! Haven��t tasted the flavor of humans for so long! I didn��t expect that there��s actually someone who isn��t afraid of death delivering himself to our doorstep.��


    ��Jeje, what a delicious smell! His blood must taste very good!��


    ��All don��t snatch him from me! This human is mine!��


    �� ��


    When several rank six Ghost Dao powerhouses saw Ye Yuan, each and every one of them salivated heavily like they had seen a delicacy.


    Humans were delicious food in their eyes.


    Rumble!


    The moment Ye Yuan��s aura released, the pressure of Chaos Realm suddenly bloomed, directly crushing those few Ghost Dao powerhouses to dust.


    The complexions of the other Ghost Dao powerhouses turned deathly pale, looking at Ye Yuan with horrified faces, turning around and wanting to flee.


    ��You, come over!�� Ye Yuan suddenly pointed at a rank six heavenly corpse with a deathly pale complexion and said.


    That heavenly corpse was no different from humans. It was just that his complexion was dreadfully pale.


    At this time, because he was frightened, his face was even more without any rosiness.


    ��S-Senior, what instructions do you have?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��m looking for Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean. Do you know where he��s at?��


    Fengdu Ghost City was an emperor-level ghost city, with the occupied territory being massive. There were three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors inside.


    The forces established by the three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were respectively called Yin Huai Manor, Vast Huai Manor, Li Huai Manor.


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean had once told him that he was under Heavenly Emperor Cangsu��s Vast Huai Manor.


    The heavenly corpse said, ��Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean? He �� He should be imprisoned in Yin Huai Manor currently!��


    ��Imprisoned?�� Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly.


    The heavenly corpse nodded and said, ��A few days ago, Yin Huai Manor suddenly attacked Vast Huai Manor. It caused a huge commotion in Fengdu Ghost City. Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean fumbled and was captured. Vast Huai Manor lost more than a dozen hidden streets.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��Lead the way.��


    The heavenly corpse was taken aback and said, ��Where to?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Yin Huai Manor!��


    The heavenly corpse said in surprise, ��Senior, Yin Huai Manor has experts as plentiful as clouds, just the Empyreans are as many as more than a dozen! You��re all alone ����


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, with his tone turning slightly cold as he said, ��Lead the way!��


    The heavenly corpse was startled and said, ��Yes!��


    The heavenly corpse trembled with fear, bringing Ye Yuan around. They then arrived in front of a feudal government office that occupied a huge area.


    On the feudal office was written three large characters, ��Yin Huai Manor��!


    Ye Yuan knew that Shinra Ghost Region��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not easily move out as well.


    As long as Heavenly Emperors did not take action, with his current middle-stage Chaos Realm strength, there were already not many in the Empyrean Realm who could do anything to him.


    Moreover, Fengdu Ghost City��s three great Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were only First Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    Even if they wanted to take action, Ye Yuan had the power to protect himself too.


    ��Eh? Human!��


    When Yin Huai Manor��s guards saw Ye Yuan, their two eyes lit up.


    Ye Yuan stepped forward and said coolly, ��I��m here to bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean away!��


    The guards exchanged glances and suddenly let out loud hoots of laughter.


    ��Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean away? Who do you think you are?!��


    ��What a delicious boy! His blood must be very sweet.��


    ��Boy, since you came, forget about leaving. Stay behind and let us brothers have a taste!��


    Done talking, the few guards rushed forward and were about to tear Ye Yuan to pieces.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort. Stomping his feet, a horrifying air billow spread out with him as the center.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The few guards directly exploded, turning into clouds of flying ashes.


    The remaining force of the air billow did not diminish, directly shocking until the earth ruptured, transmitting into Yin Huai Manor.


    After killing a few guards, Ye Yuan lifted his foot and slowly walked towards the feudal office.


    That heavenly corpse��s eyes went wide. He even thought that Ye Yuan came to beg for leniency. But this guy was actually going to directly kill inside?


    Nuts, right?


    Yin Huai Manor was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse��s faction!


    Even if you were an Empyrean, you also would not dare to rush like this, right?


    Fine lad, this human brat is too domineering!


    Ye Yuan caused a huge commotion, alarming Empyrean powerhouses very soon.


    A Ghost Dao Empyrean stopped Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Human punk, to dare act wildly in the Yin Huai Manor, are you courting death?!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean over and I��ll leave at once.��


    The Ghost Dao Empyrean sneered coldly and said, ��Who do you think you are, you ask this Empyrean to bring him over and this Empyrean will bring him over? Then what face will the Yin Huai Manor still have to keep a foothold in the city?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Are you mistaken? I��m not discussing it with you. I��m just informing you! If he��s not coming out, then I��ll search for him by myself!��


    The Ghost Dao Empyrean could not see through Ye Yuan��s actual situation. But he saw that Ye Yuan was young. Even if he was at the Empyrean Realm, he also would not be too strong.


    Hence, he gave a cold snort and whirled toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s hand seals were like phantoms, and he said in a cold voice, ��Seal!��


    He instantly formed a formation!


    The Ghost Dao Empyrean was directly sealed in the array formation by Ye Yuan, unable to even move.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s strength improved further. The power of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array grew more than a magnitude stronger.


    Dealing with a Second Firmament Empyrean Ghost Dao Empyrean, he did not need the slightest effort at all.


    That Ghost Dao Empyrean had a look of terror. He totally did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move, and he was already completely sealed.


    No matter how he urged his strength, he was unable to break free!


    How could this human boy be so strong?


    Very soon, there were several more Empyreans that came out again, and they were all sealed by Ye Yuan in one move!


    The rank six powerhouses in Yin Huai Manor, each and every one of their eyes were almost popping out.


    ��Just who the hell is this human brat? He hasn��t made a serious move yet and half of Yin Huai Manor is already defeated!��


    ��This boy is an extremely formidable rank seven Formation God, too terrifying! If not for showing mercy, the few lord Empyreans would probably already be all dead!��


    ��This boy is here for Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean! He��s actually forcefully barging into Yin Huai Manor! Really crazy! Lord Chi Jue has already rushed over, so he��s dead for sure!��


    �� ��


    While talking, an Empyrean powerhouse with a deadpan face appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Boy, it ends here! Take a step further and you��ll die without a burial ground!�� Chi Jue said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I said before, bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean over, and I��ll leave at once.��


    Empyrean Chi Jue��s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, ��Since you��re seeking death, then this Empyrean will send you off! Hah!��


    It was only to see him roar wildly, a punch charging toward Ye Yuan.


    This Empyrean Chi Jue was a corpse path Empyrean. His fleshly body was immensely powerful and was already late-stage rank seven.


    A corpse path Empyrean primarily cultivated the fleshly body. A body full of tough muscles forcefully contending with Empyrean spirit treasures was nothing difficult.


    It was just a shame that he ran into Ye Yuan.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    In a blink, the two people clashed over several dozen moves.


    Empyrean Chi Jue retreated wildly. His two meaty palms felt like they were already not his anymore.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a strange look, ��You��re competing on physical body with me?��


    Empyrean Chi Jue looked at Ye Yuan with a terrified look as he said in shock, ��Perfect seventh transformation golden body!��


    [1] Fun fact, ۺ����(Fengdu City) is a term for the netherworld/hell. The author just added a ghost here to modify it slightly.

 Chapter 2229 - Fine, Give You Face!

    After Jiu Shang died, Ye Yuan��s heart realm reached perfection, his thoughts flowing smooth, his strength reaching greater heights.


    Presently, he was already comparable to Fifth Firmament Empyreans.


    With the strength of Ye Yuan��s fleshy body, forcefully contending with a Seventh Firmament Empyrean was no problem at all.


    And he did not even utilize any martial technique at all.


    ��Chi Jue, what are you dragging your feet for? Just a human brat, and yet you still haven��t taken care of it until now?��


    ��Haha, I said that you all, these corpses, only have a body full of boorish muscles and don��t have any use at all!��


    ��It��s also not useless, at least it can be used as a meat shield!��


    At this time, another three figures arrived, encircling Ye Yuan in the middle.


    These three people were shockingly all late-stage Empyrean mighty experts!


    Empyrean Chi Jue snorted coldly and said, ��The three of you, stop gloating over others�� misfortune here! This punk has a perfect seventh transformation golden body. His fleshly body strength is not beneath mine! Furthermore, he��s even a Seven-star Formation God. His strength isn��t to be underestimated!��


    The other three people revealed shocked faces, looking toward Ye Yuan with amazement.


    These three great ghost empyreans were respectively Ghost Seven, Si Chen, and Demoncloud.


    They were the same as Empyrean Chi Jue. They were the four late-stage Empyrean generals under Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s command.


    An Empyrean Demoncloud said with a cold laugh, ��Perfect seventh transformation! Heh heh, looks like Old Chi, you ran into a tough nut this time! However, perfect seventh transformation is completely useless in front of my Ghost Dao Hundred Runes!��


    Ye Yuan looked at the four great Empyreans and said coolly, ��Looks like I have to beat you all down before you guys know pain!��


    If it were before, Ye Yuan would still need to be very careful, using a scheme to rescue Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean out.


    But presently, his strength already did not need to act in a secretive manner. He could just directly kill to the doorstep, neat and tidy.


    Shinra Ghost Region was this kind of lawless place, where the weak were prey and the strong feasted.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk rules with them at all, directly beating them into submission.


    Of course, on the account of Heavenly Emperor��s face, he would not deal a killing blow.


    Otherwise, he would be fine, but Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean would be dead for sure.


    ��Huhu, truly a shameless boasting brat! This Empyrean will place an order for your blood in advance! Brothers, attack together!��


    Empyrean Si Chen laughed coldly, the seals in his hands already started kneading.


    ��Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Myriad Ghosts Devouring Hearts!��


    All of a sudden, shrill screams of countless fierce ghosts suddenly sounded out, making people feel like their hearts were tearing apart as they listened to it.


    The ferocious ghosts wailed shrilly as they chomped down on Ye Yuan.


    ��Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Vast Sea Ghost Hands!��


    Empyrean Demoncloud gave a fierce cry, an enormous ghost palm descended from the sky, directly slamming toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Ghost Dao Hundred Runes, Innumerable Ghost Shadows!��


    Empyrean Ghost Seven cried strangely. Countless dark shadows extended out from underground, intertwining over toward Ye Yuan.


    Three ghost talismans were executed. They were all Empyrean level ultimate moves, with their power being incomparably formidable.


    One attacked the heart, one was a frontal clash, and one was a restraint. Coupled with Chi Jue this meat shield, the attacks of the four great Empyreans simply left no room for criticism!


    ��Hahaha, brat, die!�� Empyrean Si Chen cried out strangely.


    Facing the ghost shadows that blotted out the skies and covered the earth, Ye Yuan just lightly spat out a word!


    ��Immobilize!��


    The air instantly solidified!


    The amusement in the four great Empyreans�� eyes disappeared and what replaced it was terror.


    They could not move anymore!


    The shackle of Heavenly Dao froze everything.


    Whatever move, whatever ghost shadows, were all frozen.


    ��True Sword Hollow Etch!��


    Ye Yuan swung his bone sword, four streaks of sword light instantly fired out.


    Boom, boom, boom, boom!


    Four figures flew out backward in four directions!


    Three Ghost Dao Empyreans were directly cleaved into two. But very soon, their bodies merged together. It was just much fainter.


    As for Chi Jue, a large wound was opened up on his chest, a ghastly sight.


    Defeating four Empyreans with one move!


    The four great Empyreans looked at Ye Yuan with terrified faces, their gazes full of shock.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Word, controlling space! This �� This ���� Si Chen said with a look of horror.


    Ye Yuan stood with his sword behind his back as he said coolly, ��It��s just a warning this time. Keep forcing me and next time, you won��t be able to recover!��


    This sword move, Ye Yuan already held back.


    Otherwise, how could there be a possibility of them recovering?


    One had to know, back then inside the Blackflame Cave, Ye Yuan annihilated hundreds of Empyreans by himself!


    Now that he broke through to middle-stage Chaos Realm, would he think anything of a few guys who had not even reached Eighth Firmament?


    The expressions of the four great Empyreans were very ugly. Only now did they discover what kind of a monster they faced!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and said coolly, ��Looking for so long, isn��t it time to show yourself? Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge!��


    A figure slowly walked out of the void, looking at Ye Yuan, amazement in his eyes.


    The arrival��s aura was faintly discernible; hard to grasp. It was shockingly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Who could this Heavenly Emperor be if not Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge?


    Ye Yuan killed all the way inside and caused such a huge commotion. As a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, it was naturally impossible for him to not detect it.


    It was just that he felt that the Empyreans could take care of Ye Yuan. In the end, the four great Empyreans all came out and were taken care of by Ye Yuan with one sword.


    That scene just now completely astounded him.


    Ye Yuan could actually control space-time, making space-time freeze!


    Although he was not involved earlier, he sensed that this Heavenly Dao True Word��s binding power was immensely strong. Even if it was him, it would be difficult to escape the constraints too!


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze was actually somewhat wary.


    ��Young man, this Heavenly Emperor doesn��t seem to have provoked you in the past. Why did you run to my Yin Huai Manor and cause such a big disturbance?�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge used sullen anger to suppress his dread.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said coolly, ��I��m just here to bring Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean away, but nobody was willing to talk nicely.��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. You barged inside with such swagger and wanted people, who would talk nicely with you?


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge said coldly, ��If you bring him away with one word, wouldn��t this Heavenly Emperor not have any face?��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Fine, I��ll give you face!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan clasped his hands at Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge and said coolly, ��Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge, please raise your hand high up in mercy and let Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean go!��


    Said please, but Ye Yuan��s tone did not have any intention of pleading at all.


    If you were willing, you had to give.


    Not willing to give, you also had to give!


    The Empyreans all had strange looks on their faces. This human boy was really overbearing and so arrogant!


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s expression was livid as he said in a solemn voice, ��Do you really take it that this Heavenly Emperor doesn��t dare to do anything to you?��


    Ye Yuan said calmly, ��If I leave, you can��t keep me behind. If I want to kill people, you can��t stop it! Don��t believe it? You can give it a try!��


    Finished talking, he clasped his hands again and said, ��Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge, please raise your hand high up in mercy and let Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean go!��


    Time Freeze coupled with spatial law, it was very easy for Ye Yuan to escape in front of a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    But wanting to stop Ye Yuan��s assassination, it was not possible unless these Empyreans hid inside Yin Huai Manor every day!


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge gnashed his teeth in hatred, wishing to smack this guy to death with one slap.


    But he really did not dare try!


    Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean was merely a minor character of little importance.


    These Empyreans by his side were not what one Wild Blade Ghost Empyrean could compare to.


    If they all died, wouldn��t he become a lone general without an army?


    Even if it was a Heavenly Emperor, wanting to take in so many Empyreans was not so easy too.


    Empyrean powerhouses were leviathans of a region. So how could they become other people��s subordinates so easily?

 Chapter 2230 - Three Great Blood Pools!

    ��Eh, Mo Sha, you��re actually not dead yet! That human powerhouse let you go just like that? Where is he?��


    Heavenly corpse Mo Sha did not leave, he really wanted to see what kind of confidence this human had to dare invade a Heavenly Emperor��s manor.


    At this time, quite a few people also came after hearing the news. Seeing that Mo Sha was actually not dead, they could not help feeling surprised.


    They even thought that Ye Yuan killed him long ago.


    Mo Sha��s deadpan face squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile and said, ��He went in!��


    ��Went in? He wouldn��t have �� entered just like this to ask for people, right? Huhu, when was Yin Huai Manor so easy to enter?��


    Mo Sha smiled bitterly again and said, ��He killed his way inside!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    The few Ghost Dao powerhouses by the side directly spat out. One of them said, ��Killed his way in? This human brat��s brain wouldn��t be spoiled, right?��


    ��Huhu, he was so cocky just now. Right now, I reckon that he��s already being divided up and eaten by Empyrean Chi Jue they all, right?��


    ��Even if he��s a peak Empyrean, forcefully barging into Yin Huai Manor is also a one-way ticket to �� C-Came out!��


    This Ghost Dao powerhouse��s words were said halfway when he opened his mouth wide, looking at Yin Huai Manor��s gates with incredible shock.


    The rest had doubtful faces. Turning their heads and looking, they were instantly dumbfounded on the spot.


    It was only to see a human and a ghost, one in front and one at the back, strutting out of Yin Huai Manor��s front door!


    They even saw some Empyrean powerhouses that they normally would not come into contact with at the back, watching the two people leave like sending away the god of plague.


    Seeing Ye Yuan bringing Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade away, those Empyreans let out a long sigh in relief.


    Outside, the ghosts had shocked faces, not understanding the situation. But they felt that it was very impressive.


    That Ghost Dao powerhouse who was speaking earlier said stammeringly, ��C-Came out just like that?��


    ��No way, right? Could it be that this human kid is a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse?��


    Mo Sha stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, shook his head, and said, ��No, he��s just an Empyrean! But how could an Empyrean bring Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade away? Could it be that �� Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge watched him act unbridledly just like that?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge naturally would not watch Ye Yuan act presumptuously. But making the Yin Huai Manor suffer heavy losses for a measly little Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was not worth it.


    Hence, he still compromised in the end.


    .After all, Ye Yuan gave him face too


    Although this face was somewhat unpleasant.


    Following behind Ye Yuan, titanic waves surged in Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade��s heart.


    When he saw Ye Yuan in the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan was still only at the Celestial Deity Realm.


    At that time, the small and weak Ye Yuan still needed him, this Ghost Empyrean��s protection.


    But now, only a thousand over years passed, Ye Yuan brought him, this captive prisoner, out from a Heavenly Emperor��s manor.


    What was even more terrifying was that when he was brought out, he even saw Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge!


    At that time, Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s expression was really fascinating to the extreme.


    Then, Ye Yuan brought him away in front of Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s face.


    Before he left, Ye Yuan even said, ��Thank you for Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s face.��


    What the hell was that?


    If that Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge was not around, then it was still alright.


    Yet, Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge was still around!


    Furthermore, looking at the situation, Yin Huai Manor had just experienced a great battle.


    Then �� how in the world did Ye Yuan do it?


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade understood that no matter how Ye Yuan did it, this young man in front of him was no longer that kid who sought protection under his wings back then anymore!


    The two people had just walked several streets when suddenly, a bunch of ghosts and monsters rushed over head-on.


    When they saw the Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade behind Ye Yuan, they were immediately frozen on the spot.


    ��Wild Blade, how �� how did you come out?�� When a Ghost Dao Empyrean in the lead saw Wild Blade, he had an expression like a ghost had seen a ghost; very fascinating.


    Wild Blade��s face revealed a moved look and said smilingly, ��You Fang, it��s Young Lord who rescued me.��


    Empyrean You Fang��s eyes landed on Ye Yuan��s body and he said in surprise, ��Young Lord? It��s this kid? Didn��t you say that your young lord was a Celestial Deity Realm? Just based on him, he can rescue you out of Yin Huai Manor��s ghost prison?��


    Wild Blade��s face fell slightly, and he said, ��You Fang, don��t be impudent! Young Lord is no longer that weak youth long ago, he��s currently already an Empyrean powerhouse! Even Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge is somewhat afraid of him!��


    Empyrean You Fang had a look of disbelief, sizing Ye Yuan up and down.


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered to be long-winded with them and said coolly, ��Wild Blade, go!��


    ��Yes, Young Master!��


    Wild Blade answered and left with Ye Yuan.


    Arriving at Wild Blade��s residence, Ye Yuan directly opened his mouth and said, ��Wild Blade, do you know where in Shinra Ghost Region has Silvernet Blood Essence?��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade said in surprise, ��Silvernet Blood Essence is an extremely precious rank eight natural treasure. It��s also very rare in Shinra Ghost Region. What does Young Lord want it for?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��The Soul Suppressing Pearl is seriously damaged. Dustless fell into a slumber. I urgently need the Silvernet Blood Essence to let Dustless recover his strength!��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade turned pale with fright and said, ��What? Lord Dustless he �� he��s so strong! Who could send him into a slumber? Could it be �� a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse?��


    In my memories, Dustless��s might left no room for doubt.


    A Heavenly Emperor not emerging, no one could do anything to him at all.


    It was just that Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade did not know that the Soul Suppressing Pearl had long already reached the level of a heavenly emperor spirit treasure. Dustless�� strength advanced even further than before.


    Ye Yuan just nodded his head and did not say anything.


    Nineorigin was not just a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse so simple.


    That was a supreme existence that could forcefully contend with Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors!


    Recovering from his shock, Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade frowned and said, ��Silvernet Blood Essence is a great tonic item to divine soul type powerhouses. When each piece of Silvernet Blood Essence comes into being, it will attract Heavenly Emperor powerhouses to take action. There will even be situations where some Heavenly Emperors being killed because of the battles for the Silvernet Blood Essence. In the course of time, the majority of them are controlled in the hands of middle-stage Heavenly Emperors, maybe even those above them.��


    Ye Yuan listened until his brows furrowed tightly too.


    He knew that Silvernet Blood Essence was very popular, but he did not expect that it was actually popular to this extent.


    Snatching a Silvernet Blood Essence from the hands of a middle-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, it could not be done, unless he was tired of living.


    ��Is there no other way?�� Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade said with difficulty, ��There is a way, but it��s also extremely dangerous. This Silvernet Blood Essence is produced in Shinra Ghost Region��s three great blood pools! The three great blood pools are respectively Hell Blood Pool, Extinction Blood Pool, as well as Asura Blood Pool! Legends have it that the three great blood pools were gathered and formed by the blood of ancient supreme powerhouses. Not only is there massive resentment, but there are also remnant souls of supreme powerhouses appearing and disappearing from time to time. Of course, this place is also a superb cultivation land for Ghost Dao powerhouses. There will be countless Ghost Dao powerhouses and corpse path powerhouses being there all year round. In there, there will be many Empyrean powerhouses breaking through every year, but also many Empyrean powerhouses dying! Some Heavenly Emperor powerhouses also never come back after entering the depths!��


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath. Sure enough, this Silvernet Blood Essence was an extremely troublesome thing!


    But no matter how troublesome, he had to go too.


    His time was very tight. He already could not afford to dawdle.


    At this rate, Dustless and Mu Lingxue would both be in danger.


    His gaze turned intent and he said, ��Where��s the nearest blood pool from here!��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was startled inwardly, knowing that Ye Yuan already resolved himself. He then said, ��Asura Blood Pool!��

 Chapter 2231 - Leaving Elegantly

    The two people were currently discussing matters regarding the Asura Blood Pool when someone came to visit.


    When Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade saw the arrival, he bowed respectfully and said, ��Lord Ghostpupil!��


    This Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil was also a late-stage Empyrean Ghost Dao powerhouse. His pair of black pupils were incomparably deep and seemed to be able to bewitch the heart.


    Ghostpupil nodded slightly and said, ��Wild Blade, Lord Vastsea made you bring your young lord to go see him.��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was taken back, using inquiring eyes to look at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan slowly got up and said coolly, ��No need. You pack things up and go with me, I��m in a hurry!��


    He was currently burning with anxiety. How could he be in the mood to have small talk with Heavenly Emperor Vastsea?


    Delaying a moment longer, Dustless and Mu Lingxue would be in more danger.


    In reality, Dustless also would not have fallen into such a deep sleep if not for protecting Mu Lingxue.


    Without Dustless protection at the final moment, Mu Lingxue��s final trace of spiritual consciousness would have long been shattered.


    These days in Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan spent every minute and second in agony.


    Now, obtaining the Silvernet Blood Essence��s news, how could he still be willing to delay?


    But Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Human, Lord Vastsea is summoning you. You dare to not give face?��


    Ye Yuan did not even look at him and said coolly, ��Wild Blade!��


    Wild Blade��s expression changed slightly, and he said with a bow, ��Yes!��


    Ghost Dao powerhouses had those who grew themselves, and also those who were raised like Wild Blade.


    Ghost Dao powerhouses who made a contract were unable to defy their master��s orders.


    Ye Yuan��s order had even higher authority than a Heavenly Emperor!


    Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupils saw that Ye Yuan completely ignored him and could not help saying in a great rage, ��Fine lad, Lord Vastsea asking to see you is valuing you! Since you don��t know how to appreciate favors, then don��t blame this Empyrean for not being courteous!��


    Suddenly, the air in the house became cold.


    A surge of cold wind rose from the ground and tunneled into Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil��s eyes suddenly released a black light. A powerful surge of soul force directly rushed into Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness.


    ��Beguiling Ghost Melody, heed my command! Brat, slap yourself all the way until this Empyrean calls for you to stop!�� Ghostpupil directly ordered.


    Seeing Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil use his ultimate move the moment he came up, Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade��s expression changed greatly. He cried out in surprise, ��Lord Ghostpupil, show mercy!��


    ��Snort!��


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan released a cold snort from his mouth!


    This cold snort, Ye Yuan brought along the Voice of the Dragon God of the dragon race.


    ��Mm!�� Ghostpupil gave a muffled groan and was actually wounded by Ye Yuan��s cold snort, causing even his body to become a lot more illusory.


    Although Ghost Dao powerhouses did not have corporeal bodies, reaching Ghost Empyrean Realm, they were already close to being corporeal.


    But at this time, Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil was actually forced back into his original form.


    ��This �� How is this possible?�� Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil looked at Ye Yuan with a look of fright, full of disbelief.


    The aura on Ye Yuan��s body was not strong. It was at least much weaker than his.


    Facing such an opponent, his Beguiling Ghost Melody would work 100 times out of 100 times. If so, why did Ye Yuan��s divine soul being released just like that, and then it could injure him?


    Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil was extremely perplexed!


    By the side, Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was also extremely shocked.


    He was deeply aware of Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil��s prowess. Even the three great Ghost Empyreans under Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s command were extremely apprehensive of him too.


    This Beguiling Ghost Melody was extremely restraining toward same rank Empyreans too, but it was shaken off by Ye Yuan so easily.


    Not only shaken off, he even severely wounded Empyrean Ghostpupil!


    How could Young Master��s strength be so horrifying?


    Ye Yuan looked at Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil and said with disdain, ��Even the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest are unable to control my will. Just with the likes of your paltry ghost path mystic art, you want to control me? Do you know what��s called overestimating your own ability?��


    Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil had a face that was struck dumb with amazement!


    With Ye Yuan��s snort earlier, he indeed felt a willpower like beholding a great mountain hit him head-on.


    It was precisely because of this that he was easily injured.


    How could a mere human Empyrean Realm have such a formidable will?


    Although Ye Yuan talked about whatever Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, he felt that it was overly boastful. But Ghost Empyrean Ghostpupil dared to confirm that Ye Yuan��s will was absolutely stronger than Heavenly Emperor Vastsea!


    Furthermore, it was more than a magnitude stronger!


    The shock in his heart was unable to use words to describe.


    ��Wild Blade!�� Ye Yuan urged lightly. Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade suddenly startled awake and hurriedly packed up and got everything ready.


    Ye Yuan brought Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade and swaggered out of Vast Huai Manor just like that.


    But right at this time, a sinister to the extreme ghost aura descended from the sky. A virtually corporeal figure blocked in front of Ye Yuan.


    This ghostly energy was extremely condensed. If an ordinary human Empyrean was here, they would likely have long been frozen stiff.


    Inside Yin Huai Manor, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge��s mouth.


    ��Heh, Vastsea that fool probably still doesn��t know this boy��s terror! Losing face in front of so many people in the city, this emperor will see how you still have the face to show yourself in the future!��


    The events previously, he issued a gag order to the powerhouses in the manor, absolutely forbidding for anyone to spread it.


    This boy was like a thorn. Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge felt that he definitely would not be used by Heavenly Emperor Vastsea.


    Sure enough, in less than half a day, both parties fell out.


    Heavenly Emperor Vastsea looked at Ye Yuan and said with a thunderous look, ��Human brat, you brought away this Heavenly Emperor��s subordinate. Not only did you not even inform in advance, you even seriously injured this Heavenly Emperor��s subordinate! How do you plead?��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade��s complexion was ashen as he cried out in surprise, ��Lord Vastsea, Young Master he ����


    Ye Yuan stopped Wild Blade with a hand gesture. Looking at Vastsea, he said coolly, ��Uh, since you came, then I��ll inform you about it. Wild Blade will be following me in the future. Say your goodbyes. Wild Blade, let��s go!��


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse moving out had long already alarmed numerous powerhouses in the city. Mo Sha and his companions just happened to be among them too.


    Seeing this scene, the pupils of the ghosts shrunk.


    This fellow was so arrogant!


    What he was facing was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    ��Could this human brat really be a fool? That��s Heavenly Emperor Vastsea! Yet he��s actually this arrogant?��


    ��Isn��t that so? Just nice. I can take a look at what he��s relying on to be able to bring away Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade from Yin Huai Manor this time!��


    ��Heh heh, I somewhat understand now! Heavenly Emperor Ghostridge probably intentionally didn��t show up to let this kid bring away Wild Blade!��


    �� ��


    Heavenly Emperor Vastsea laughed from extreme fury and said, ��Heh heh, what an arrogant brat, could it be that you really take this Heavenly Emperor to not dare to make a move against you? Forget it, since you��re intentionally courting death, this Heavenly Emperor will send you off then!��


    ��Immobilize!��


    Heavenly Emperor Vastsea��s voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan already executed Time Freeze!


    In an instant, laws descended, Vastsea was immobilized!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan was still only initial-stage rank seven, he could already use this move and escape from under the hands of abyss monster Heavenly Emperor Manya.


    Let alone that he was currently already middle-stage rank seven.


    How much stronger was the power of the present Time Freeze compared to that time?


    ��Wild Blade, go!�� Ye Yuan grabbed the dumbfounded Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade and directly teleported more than ten thousand miles away.


    After an instant, space-time recovered. Heavenly Emperor Vastsea��s eyes were full of shock.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Word, spatial law! What a terrific human lad! Looks like Wild Blade followed a good master!��

 Chapter 2232 - Blood Sea Phenomenon

    ��Such thick carnage energy!��


    Ye Yuan two people arrived before a long and unbroken stretch of mountains. A thick scent of bloody smell hit face-on, stirring up a sinister wind by his ears.


    Under the illumination of sunlight, this mountain range actually gave off a series of blood-red light halo.


    In the dense woods, numerous Ghost Dao powerhouses came and went.


    But sensing the powerful auras coming off of Ye Yuan two people��s bodies, they did not dare to draw near.


    ��Young Master, be more careful. Humans coming to this place need to open up their world domains to resist the carnage energy. This carnage energy is extremely harmful to humans. Even Empyreans will find it hard to withstand its corrosion too!�� Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade warned.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��Resist? Why is there a need to resist?��


    Finished talking, his cultivation method revolved. He actually absorbed these carnage energies frenziedly.


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade��s two eyes became wide saucers, a look of shock on his face.


    His young master was actually absorbing the carnage energy!


    ��Young Master, you!�� Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade cried out in surprise.


    ��That human is actually absorbing carnage energy. I think that he��s tired of living!��


    ��Jeje, perhaps he feels that our ghost race is pretty good and wants to join our ghost race?��


    ��Eh, something��s wrong! Why is his aura becoming stronger?��


    In the distance, came some Ghost Dao powerhouse��s disdainful voices. But very soon, they discovered something amiss.


    Humans were unable to use this carnage energy to cultivate at all.


    Absorbing into the body would only harm their bodies.


    But Ye Yuan��s aura was actually becoming stronger!


    Ye Yuan absorbed for a while and immediately felt refreshed.


    The thickness of this carnage energy could virtually catch up to the thickness of the devilish energy in the Dragon Eye Cave. Using it to cultivate naturally yielded twice the results with half the effort.


    Seeing Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade��s dazed expression, Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Carnage energy, devilish energy, heaven and earth spiritual energy, there��s essentially no difference. It��s just that the attribute is different, that��s all. The carnage energy here is extremely thick. It��s a superb cultivation ground for me. After finding the Silvernet Blood Essence, I want to enter closed-seclusion for a few days here.��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade had a look of astonishment on his face and said with a sigh of admiration, ��Young Master��s talent, even Lord Immortal Grove is far inferior!��


    He had followed Ye Yuan for a short time after all. So he was far from aware about Dustless��s experience with Ye Yuan in the past.


    While chatting, the earth suddenly quaked and the mountains shook. An even stronger carnage energy gushed out from underground.


    The bloody light above the mountain range became incomparably forbidding, giving people a hair-raising feeling.


    The Asura Blood Pool entrance in the distance, countless Ghost Dao powerhouses gushed out, fleeing like they were flying, all of their expressions seemingly incomparably terrified.


    Behind them, bloody light shone brilliantly.


    Those that were enveloped by the bloody light directly turned to ashes.


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade had an anxious and doubtful look as he said, ��This �� What terrifying power! What in the world happened in the Asura Blood Pool?��


    But a hint of surprise flashed across in Ye Yuan��s eyes and he said, ��Such a phenomenon, I��m afraid that a precious treasure came into being!��


    At this time, a deadpan face came beside Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��This is already the third time within a month! I heard that in the other two major blood pools there, such phenomenons similarly erupted. Looks like the Asura Blood Pool that has been quiet for countless years finally can��t hold back anymore.��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and immediately sensed that this corpse path powerhouse was very extraordinary.


    ��You��re a frequent guest of this place?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The other party nodded his head and said, ��I��m called Wu Jiang. I started braving the Asura Blood Pool starting from rank four.��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.


    The powerhouses in the outer-peripherals were many. Rank fours and rank fives could be seen everywhere. There were also quite a few rank sixes.


    But Ye Yuan was clear that under such an environment, being able to cultivate all the way from rank four to rank seven was simply a miracle!


    Looks like his feeling was not wrong. This Wu Jiang was very extraordinary!


    ��I��m called Ye Yuan! Since Brother Wu is a frequent guest here, then in your view, how high are the chances of the Silvernet Blood Essence appearing under this kind of phenomenon?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Wu Jiang was startled, looking at Ye Yuan in surprise. Clearly, he did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually aiming for the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    He shook his head and said, ��Such a phenomenon, the Silvernet Blood Essence will definitely appear. It��s just that �� with your strength, I advise that you��d better don��t get yourself killed in vain.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Does Brother Wu want to team up with this Ye?��


    Wu Jiang was slightly surprised, not expecting to be seen through with one glance by Ye Yuan.


    He saw that Ye Yuan was actually able to absorb carnage energy to cultivate and felt that this boy was extraordinary. That was why he had the idea of making friends.


    He had run around here for a long time and more or less understood the powerhouses here a little.


    But there was no one capable of making him regarded the person with importance.


    But this Ye Yuan, he gave him a feeling of being not simple from the first time he laid eyes on him.


    Wu Jiang did not hide it either, nodding and saying, ��This Wu has always moved independently for so many years and rarely found people to team up. But the blood pool abnormality this time is attracting more and more major powers. Furthermore, inside the blood pool is also filled with dangers. Hence, that��s why I had this idea.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Since Brother Wu thinks highly, then this Ye will accept deferentially rather than decline courteously.��


    The voice had yet to fade when a terrifying aura descended from the sky.


    ��Hahaha �� With this Asura Blood Sea��s abnormality, there��s probably a peak Heavenly Emperor spirit treasure coming into being!��


    Amidst the wild laughter, that ghost figure turned into a stream of flowing light and rushed into the cave by meeting the bloody light directly.


    Wu Jiang��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��Heavenly Emperor Purplecloud! Even he came too!��


    His voice had yet to fade when several other fearsome auras descended.


    Those auras completely disregarded the bloody light and charged straight into the Asura Blood Sea.


    Ye Yuan was also startled inwardly when he saw the situation. These Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were all middle-stage Heavenly Emperor peerless powerhouses. Each and every one of them was starting to move restlessly.


    Before long, another cloud of black gas descended.


    Those who were slightly touched by the black gas directly turned to ashes, scattering away.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in shock, ��A Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor!��


    Wu Jiang��s deadpan face became several shades whiter and he said, ��It��s Heavenly Emperor Quicksand! I didn��t expect that even he��s alarmed too! With this, Asura Blood Sea is lively!��


    In merely half a day, Ye Yuan saw that there were seven to eight middle-stage and late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses entering the Asura Blood Sea.


    As for initial-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, those that entered were as many as more than a dozen!��


    For some time, powerhouses gathered!


    Of course, these Heavenly Emperors held in contempt toward the common treasures at the outskirts. They directly entered the depths of the blood sea.


    No idea how long had passed. There were finally no more Heavenly Emperor powerhouses descending. Only then did everyone cautiously enter further inside the Asura Blood Sea once more.


    Although the current Asura Blood Sea was dangerous, it was when the lucky chances were the most.


    At this time, no one was willing to be outdone by others.


    Perhaps a fortuitous encounter could let them soar to the heavens with one bound.


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s our turn to enter!�� Wu Jiang said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Afraid that it isn��t that simple! Those entering now, the lowest are Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses too. First Firmament Heavenly Emperors and Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors haven��t appeared yet, don��t you find it odd?��


    Wu Jiang��s expression changed.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when several figures slowly walked out of the void.

 Chapter 2233 - Forming Enmity

    ��Heavenly Emperor Zhao Hun!��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather!��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn!��


    �� ��


    ��That��s �� Heavenly Emperor Ninelives! He��s a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!��


    One powerful figure after another appearing in succession. There were actually as many as seven people!


    Everyone sucked in a mouthful of cold air, clearly not expecting that there were actually still so many Heavenly Emperors in hiding.


    Wu Jiang looked at Ye Yuan in surprise, not knowing how he discovered these Heavenly Emperors.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze swept across the whole place and said in a cold voice, ��All Empyreans are not to take action without authorization! Those who defy, die!��


    The faces of the Empyreans present changed drastically, immediately realizing that they were designated as cannon fodder!


    First Firmament and Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors were at the bottom of the barrel among Heavenly Emperors. They were not as confident as before.


    Naturally, the places that Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor and above wanted to go, these cannon fodders were no use at all.


    The abnormality this time was very strange, these First and Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors were rather cautious too. Finding Empyreans to be cannon fodders became a pretty good choice.


    In the various major mystic realms, powerhouses making weaklings go be cannon fodders frequently appeared too.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, several figures sprinted wildly, heading for the opening of the Asura Blood Pool.


    How swift were the movements of Empyrean powerhouses!


    They were fast, but Heavenly Emperor Ninelives was faster!


    It was only to see a hint of a cold smile flash across the corners of his mouth, his finger flicking lightly. Several streaks of light dots arrived in an instant.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Those scurrying Empyrean powerhouses were instantly slaughtered by him without missing a single one!


    Among them, there were even several late-stage Empyrean powerful experts!


    ��Who else wants to leave?�� Heavenly Emperor Ninelives said coolly, not carrying the slightest compassion.


    The others were silent like cicadas in winter.


    In front of Heavenly Emperors, they were akin to ants!


    Only Heavenly Emperors could confront Heavenly Emperors!


    Wu Jiang��s deadpan face became several shades whiter.


    He involuntarily looked over towards Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan had a look of composure, seemingly not looking too worried, and immediately felt slightly calmer.


    Seeing no one jump out, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives said coolly, ��Very good. Since nobody is leaving, enter then.��


    Got to admit, Asura Blood Pool attracted countless powerhouses.


    Just the Empyrean powerhouses here were in the hundreds.


    This force was already immensely powerful.


    Just as everyone was planning on entering the blood sea, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn suddenly gave a light cry of surprise and said, ��There��s actually still a human bug! You, come over!��


    While talking, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn extended his hand and pointed at Ye Yuan.


    Wu Jiang��s expression changed and could not help looking at Ye Yuan nervously.


    Ye Yuan slowly stepped forward and said coolly, ��What instructions does Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn have?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s brows furrowed and he said unhappily, ��A brat who��s so ignorant of the rules! A mere human bug also dares to encroach on my ghost race��s treasure?��


    Finished talking, his finger flicked. A streak of white light shot right at Ye Yuan.


    The horrifying energy undulation made all of the Empyrean��s faces change, all clamoring to dodge.


    Ye Yuan was also surprised in his heart. He did not expect that this Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn would actually kill people at a word of disagreement.


    But although he was surprised, he did not panic. His figure retreated explosively, the bone sword attacking fiercely.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    In an instant, Ye Yuan released thousands of incomparably swift and fierce sword lights, rumbling over toward that streak of white light.


    Falling back several tens of thousands of feet in a row, that streak of white light was utterly dissipated by Ye Yuan in the end.


    And between them, an enormous ravine was also blasted out.


    Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there, glaring at Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn.


    While the Empyreans looked at Ye Yuan with astonished faces.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze flickered slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.


    This scene earlier happened too suddenly, quick until everyone did not react to it.


    But seeing Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn taking action, they all thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan actually unleashed thousands of sword lights in a single breath, directly neutralizing Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s attack.


    Even though this attack was merely a casual strike of Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s, it was also not what any Empyrean could block.


    This attack was more than enough to kill an Eighth Firmament Empyrean!


    At the very least, among the Empyreans present, those able to block it did not surpass ten fingers.


    ��Huhu, Ghostmourn, you��re really becoming promising, can��t even take care of a human race Empyrean Realm brat.�� Heavenly Emperor Zhao Hun said gloatingly.


    ��Ghostmourn, I don��t know you! Seriously too disgraceful!�� Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather also had a look of being unable to bear to look at it.


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn was stunned at first, following that, there was boundless fury.


    In front of a bunch of Heavenly Emperors, it was really a major loss of face with this!


    ��Damn human brat, this Heavenly Emperor will kill you!��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s terrifying pressure suddenly erupted and was about to unleash a heaven-shocking strike.


    When the Empyreans felt this terrifying pressure, each and every one of them had ashen faces.


    The might of a Heavenly Emperor was too terrifying!


    At this time, Ninelives suddenly spoke up. He said, ��Ghostmourn, spare this boy��s life. His strength is decent. Killing like this is somewhat a waste.��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives was a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor. Ghostmourn had no choice but to give face.


    He gave a cold snort and said, ��Boy, consider yourself lucky!��


    Ninelives��s gaze was indifferent as he said, ��Go in!��


    The Empyreans opened up their domains and isolated the bloody light outside, and slowly entered the Asura Blood Pool.


    Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his fury and followed everyone into the cave.


    There were seven Ghost Dao Empyreans in front. Becoming enemies with them was clearly not a wise move.


    His objective for coming here was the Silvernet Blood Essence, there was no need to do this kind of pointless fight.


    Of course, this enmity, he noted it down.


    Wu Jiang scooted over and said in surprise, ��Brother Ye, are you alright? Just now, I even thought that you were dead for sure. Heh, your strength is pretty good, I, Wu Jiang, indeed didn��t make an error of judgment.��


    Wu Jiang was somewhat surprised by Ye Yuan��s strength. But his overtones were that he could also receive this strike.


    How could Ye Yuan not understand? This Wu Jiang was clearly not an ordinary Empyrean either.


    Entering the cave entrance, it was a stretch of bloody light before their eyes. This place was an enormous underground cavern.


    Along the way, there were big and small blood pits everywhere, flowing with dark red blood inside. Blood bubbles even bubbled from time to time.


    ��Don��t touch these blood bubbles, once touched, even Empyreans will have their souls dissipate too!�� Wu Jiang warned.


    Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart and nodded his head in response.


    Apart from this, Ye Yuan discovered that the space here was extremely distorted. Ordinary Empyreans were unable to traverse through space at all.


    This Asura Blood Pool was like a giant spatial cage, constraining everyone in here.


    Furthermore, the deeper in, the more terrifying the degree of spatial distortion.


    Even Heavenly Emperors were unable to escape too.


    Of course, this was no big deal to Ye Yuan.


    His spatial law attainments were not what ordinary Empyreans could compare to.


    This group of people was extremely strong. At first, they did not encounter any danger.


    But very soon, they ran into problems!


    ��Ahhh!!��


    A tragic cry came over. A Second Firmament Empyrean Ghost Dao Empyrean was directly sucked into a blood pool, vanishing without a trace.


    With this, the hairs of all the Empyreans stood on ends.


    They did not see the opponent at all and this Empyrean was gone.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark, and he said to Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade, ��Wild Blade, get a little closer. Don��t get separated from me.��

 Chapter 2234 - : Bluffed Them

    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    One after another, there were miserable screams coming over non-stop.


    One Empyrean after another was directly sucked in the blood pools.


    The Empyreans had panicky looks. They could not see the opponent at all.


    Wu Jiang��s expression was very ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��This place is normally just the activity area of rank six powerhouses. Why did so many damn things pop out now suddenly?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered and he said, ��A precious treasure coming into being. Having this kind of phenomena is also normal. Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, activate!��


    Ye Yuan had transcended seven Nirvanic Tribulations. The Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil had long been cultivated to an extremely high realm already.


    At this time, the moment the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil activated, the world immediately became different.


    Amidst the bloody light, one gray figure after another was moving about everywhere.


    These guys were hidden in the bloody light, the bloody light became their natural protective defense.


    Even for Empyreans, it was very hard to discover them too.


    Whoosh!


    One of the gray figures suddenly shot out, flying toward Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade.


    But Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was completely clueless.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, and he cried out coldly, ��Sword of will, chop!��


    A transparent sword instantly condensed and chopped toward that gray figure with inconceivably swift speed.


    ��Yike!��


    That gray figure emitted a strange cry and tunneled back into the blood pool with a whoosh.


    Hearing the strange cry from behind, Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was greatly startled, only then, knowing that he had gone to the gates of hell and came back.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze flickered slightly and marveled with admiration. ��Such condensed soul force, almost turning corporeal! His divine soul has likely already reached grand completion rank seven! This boy isn��t simple!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn sneered and said, ��So what if grand completion rank seven? How long can he still live in this place?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives nodded and said, ��The stronger he is, the better it is for us naturally! With him around, at least we can take action later. With the blood pool having unusual changes, there will be quite a number of good stuff that will come out. But correspondingly, it would also be a lot more dangerous.��


    The other Heavenly Emperors nodded one after another, deeply feeling that way too.


    Ye Yuan made a move to slay that gray shadow and stopped taking action.


    Let things drift if they did not affect one personally.


    Under such circumstances, standing out in the limelight did not have any good outcome.


    If not for saving Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade, he definitely would not have taken action.


    From time to time, there were still Ghost Dao powerhouses that were directly dragged into the blood pools.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives pointed at Ye Yuan and opened his mouth and said, ��You, go and take care of those gray shadows!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��If I say no?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s tone carried a majesty that did not allow questioning as he said coolly, ��Not taking action, you die!��


    Clearly, with the eyesight of these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, they could see those gray shadows.


    It was just that none of them were willing to make a move.


    These gray shadows were all soul bodies, killing all of them required tremendous expenditure of soul force.


    The Heavenly Emperor powerhouses clearly wanted to preserve their strength to deal with those dangers at the back.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives speaking had much greater weight than Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn.


    After all, he was a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor super powerhouse!


    By the side, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn smiled coldly and said, ��Brat, being a cannon fodder has to have the awareness of being a cannon fodder! Go or die!��


    These Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not care at all, directly putting it out on the table.


    In front of them, Empyrean powerhouses could only be cannon fodders.


    Empyrean powerhouses dominated the secular world.


    But in front of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, they were still ants!


    Ants did not have the qualifications to negotiate terms!


    Ye Yuan��s expression flickered indeterminately but did not take action after a long time.


    Wu Jiang��s expression changed slightly, and he urged, ��Brother Ye, preserving your life is important. We can��t afford to provoke Heavenly Emperor powerhouses!��


    Finally, Ye Yuan��s tightly clenched fists loosened. He slowly turned around, his figure moving, directly catching up to a gray shadow.


    ��Sword of will, kill!��


    Ye Yuan��s sword of will was incomparably swift and fierce. One sword landed. It directly slaughtered that gray shadow.


    His figure moved swiftly, attacking like lightning, killing more than ten gray shadows in a blink of an eye.


    When those gray shadows saw that they were unable to hide their figures anymore, each and every one of them hid inside the blood pools and no longer bubbled.


    When the Empyreans saw that Ye Yuan was so ferocious, each and every one of them was extremely frightened too.


    If this sword of will were to chop on their bodies, it would be fatal!


    Even though their bodies were long already corporeal, they were still soul bodies in the end.


    This sword of will��s damage to them was even stronger than divine essence martial techniques.


    Ye Yuan stopped, appearing somewhat dispirited and inert.


    Those gray shadows were all rank seven soul bodies, their strength comparable to middle-stage Empyrean Realm.


    Killing so many soul bodies, it was naturally somewhat ��too much�� for Ye Yuan��s soul force to bear.


    He looked at Heavenly Emperor Ninelives coldly and said, ��Satisfied now?��


    Finished talking, he sat down cross-legged, planning on recovering soul force.


    But at this time, Ninelives said coolly, ��Not need to recondition, carry on walking. Do you plan on making so many people wait for you to rest up?��


    Done talking, he flicked his sleeves grandly and said, ��Continue forward!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold and suddenly stood up, assuming a posture like he was going to risk his life, but he was held back by Wu Jiang.


    ��Forget it, forget it! They are all Heavenly Emperors. We can��t afford to provoke them!�� Wu Jiang urged.


    These Heavenly Emperors did not view him as a person at all. They were simply ordering him about like a beast of burden!


    Seeing Ye Yuan get deflated, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn said with a smug look, ��Huhu, brat, this place isn��t the place for you to act wildly! Got resentment, hold it in! Not stifling it �� you��ll die!��


    The moment Heavenly Emperor Ninelives released his imposing aura, a terrifying pressure descended on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Still not moving? Do you really want to force this emperor to take action?�� Heavenly Emperor Ninelives said coldly.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed several times. Finally, he still drew a deep breath, turned around, and left.


    ��Very good, I��ve remembered this!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    ��Huhu, he��s threatening us! An Empyrean is threatening Heavenly Emperors!�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn laughed in spite of himself.


    ��His strength is indeed pretty good. Just that his brain is a little flawed, can��t understand the situation,�� Heavenly Emperor Zhao Hun said coolly.


    Another Heavenly Emperor said with a cold face, ��Reckless and blind thing! If not for being a little useful, this emperor would have long killed him!��


    Toward Ye Yuan��s threat, they naturally would not take it to heart.


    In their view, making you all be cannon fodders, you would have to endure it!


    In fact, you even had to express a thousand thanks!


    Putting on airs, you don��t have that qualification.


    ��Young Master, are �� are you alright? It��s all me who��s useless!�� Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade said with self-reproach.


    Ye Yuan gave a wink and transmitted his voice, ��I��m fine. I��m just bluffing them.��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade was startled in his heart, looking at Ye Yuan with a shocked face.


    How was this possible?


    That degree of soul force expenditure earlier, even ordinary late-stage Empyreans would find it somewhat too much to bear, let alone Ye Yuan?


    How could he know that Ye Yuan��s divine soul was incomparably condensed to begin with?


    After essence, energy, and spirit three paths fused into one, his divine soul was even formidable to the extreme, far surpassing those in the same rank.


    Previously in the Immortal Grove World, in front of Ji Zhengyang��z grave, Ye Yuan��s thoughts flowed smoothly, his heart realm reached perfection, and his divine soul even already reached the grand completion realm of rank seven.


    This degree of consumption was nothing at all to Ye Yuan.


    In the process of advancing, with Ye Yuan absorbing some more carnage energy and converting it to soul force, it would be able to make up for the deficit.


    Facing seven great Heavenly Emperors, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to display all of his trump cards.


    Therefore, he definitely feigned an appearance of his soul force being depleted.

 Chapter 2235 - Souleater Beasts

    ��Brother Ye, are you still alright?�� Wu Jiang saw that Ye Yuan��s complexion was pale, his entire body seemingly feeble, and so he could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Still alright. I can still hang in there!��


    Toward this Wu Jiang, it was just Ye Yuan��s first time meeting, he naturally would not feel at ease letting him know everything.


    These Ghost Dao powerhouses and corpse path powerhouses because of innate reasons, were more coldblooded and violent to begin with.


    It was not that there was no good person among Ghost Dao Empyreans, but Ye Yuan did not dare and was also not willing to hand his trust over to a stranger.


    He had traveled all over the place for so many years. This bit of shallow logic, he still understood it.


    Wu Jiang let out a sigh and said, ��Brother Ye, our arms can��t wring the thighs and wind. They are Heavenly Emperor powerhouses after all. Only by enduring for some time, will there be an opportunity to escape!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��I understand, but I just can��t take this lying down!��


    Wu Jiang nodded his head and continued saying, ��Brother Ye is indeed a young heaven��s chosen. Your number of trump cards makes this Wu lament at my own unworthiness too!��


    He was really very surprised. Just now, the divine soul power that Ye Yuan exhibited made even the Ghost Dao powerhouses who have cultivated for many years feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    One had to know, Ghost Dao powerhouses did not have physical bodies. What they cultivated was the power of the soul body!


    Ye Yuan was young in age. So Wu Jiang really did not know how he did it.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s ocular arts were also extremely consummate, to actually be able to see through the unreal and see the gray shadows that even Ghost Empyreans could not see too.


    Coupled with that transcendent sword art from before, this was truly a terrifying young man!


    It was just a pity that he was too incapable of retaining his composure, to actually expose his strength in order to save his servant.


    Furthermore, he even offended the few great Heavenly Emperors!


    This journey would probably not be too pleasant.


    The party gradually went deeper and the cavern got increasingly larger. The blood pools also got bigger and bigger.


    It was more appropriate to say that it gradually turned into a blood lake. The thick bloody air inside made people virtually want to vomit.


    Even Ye Yuan was also dumbstruck with amazement by this spectacular sight.


    With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that it was all real blood in the blood pools.


    Furthermore, tremendous energy was contained in this blood.


    Clearly, the former owners of this blood were all extremely strong powerhouses.


    So much blood, then how many powerhouses died here?


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, several green figures tore past like lightning.


    Following there, a miserable scream came over.


    A Ghost Empyrean was directly dragged away by the green shadows.


    But these green shadows did not go far but stopped in a cave entrance.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked over, they were several kangaroo-looking little beasts.


    While that Ghost Empyrean being bitten by the little beasts actually did not have the slightest strength to resist at all.


    Then, those few little beasts divided up and ate that Ghost Empyrean in front of everyone just like that.


    Acting recklessly and caring for nobody!


    These little beasts thought nothing of so many Ghost Empyreans!


    ��Souleater Beasts! It��s Souleater Beasts!�� Those Ghost Empyreans were all akin to facing a great enemy, retreating one after another.


    While at this time, inside some of the small caves of the cavern, many of such little beasts suddenly tunneled out.


    The little beasts got more and more, and actually surrounded the group of Ghost Empyreans.


    Even the faces of those Heavenly Emperors were extremely ugly too.


    ��What are Souleater Beasts?�� Ye Yuan asked with an ignorant look.


    Wu Jiang said, ��Souleater Beasts are the jinx of Ghost Dao powerhouses, and also the natives of the three great blood pools, feeding on soul bodies. For Ghost Dao powerhouses that run around here, once they encounter Souleater Beasts, they will die without a doubt. The saliva that they secrete has extremely strong anesthetic and digestive effects against Ghost Dao powerhouses. Ghost Dao powerhouses are unable to resist at all. Furthermore, they have the ability to traverse through space. Their speed is extremely fast and impossible to guard against. Even Heavenly Emperor powerhouses are extremely apprehensive of them too.��


    Ye Yuan was enlightened when he heard. It turned out that there was still such a formidable ferocious beast.


    These Souleater Beasts were simply the jinx of Ghost Dao powerhouses. But to corpse path powerhouses and humans, they were nothing much.


    They practically only lived in the three great blood pools.


    Because this place had large quantities of soul bodies.


    Whoosh, whoosh!


    Another dozen over Souleater Beasts suddenly scurried out, the speed inconceivably swift.


    Several Ghost Dao Empyreans at the outer area were frightened until their complexions were ashen, all kinds of horrifying attacks flying over.


    But these Souleater Beasts were incomparably sensitive. A twinkle in the air, and they directly dodged all of these disorderly attacks.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    Several miserable cries came over. A few Ghost Empyreans were dragged away by the Souleater Beasts just like that, who then started eating them with relish at one side.


    Devouring these Ghost Dao Empyreans, the auras of those Souleater Beasts actually grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    How could those Ghost Dao Empyreans still keep their wits about them, turning tail and running?


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors snorted coldly. A horrifying pressure spread out, those Empyreans went even paler.


    There were wolves in front, tigers at the back, they could not run at all!


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors clearly regarded the Asura abnormality this time with great importance, it was impossible to withdraw easily.


    At this time, Ninelives pointed at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��You, go and finish off the Souleater Beasts!��


    Everyone was stunned. Even Ye Yuan was also taken aback.


    ��Me? Alone?�� Ye Yuan somewhat did not dare to believe it.


    Ninelives nodded and said, ��That��s right! You can choose to face them, or face the seven of us!��


    A cold light appeared in Ye Yuan��s eyes, this Heavenly Emperor Ninelives was too much!


    This guy was clearly targeting him.


    The other few Heavenly Emperors all had gloating faces. Clearly, they viewed him as a different kind and were only exploiting him.


    As for his life and death, they did not care at all.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flicked, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Fine, I��ll go!��


    Ye Yuan brandished his sword and advanced, dividing the crowd, slowly walking over toward those Souleater Beasts.


    The group of Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances and smiled, hints of amused expressions revealing on their faces.


    There were several dozen Souleater Beasts in front of him. They were all rank seven existences.


    Normally, it should be impossible for so many rank seven Souleater Beasts to appear all of a sudden.


    But the blood pool was having abnormal activities currently, these guys all scurried out one after another.


    ��Kill!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, his figure turning into a phantom, rushing straight for the Souleater Beasts.


    What he rushed towards was just a middle-stage rank seven Souleater Beast, that Souleater Beast also charged toward Ye Yuan, a hint of scorn flashing across in its eyes.


    With a squeak, it disappeared before Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    Then there was a squelch.


    Amidst everyone��s amazed gazes, when the Souleater Beast that originally disappeared showed its figure, the bone sword passed through its chest!


    This Souleater Beast was already deader than dead.


    Before dying, the Souleater Beast still opened its eyes wide to look at Ye Yuan, clearly not believing that Ye Yuan could actually kill it.


    ��Squeak, squeak, squeak ����


    The Souleater Beasts started braying frenziedly, turning into one glimmering afterimage after another, pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.


    The claws of these Souleater Beasts were extremely sharp. Their attacks actually carried spatial law!


    Even when encountering ordinary Empyreans, they likely had no opponents in the same rank too.


    It was just a pity that they ran into Ye Yuan.


    Apart from a few late-stage rank seven Souleater Beasts that could fight with Ye Yuan to the point they were evenly-matched, the other Souleater Beasts could not block Ye Yuan��s sword at all.


    Ye Yuan��s sword was like a ghost amidst the bloody light. Areas that it passed by, it reaped the lives of Souleater Beasts without restraint.

 Chapter 2236 - Too Late

    The Ghost Empyreans were incredibly shocked!


    Ye Yuan��s strength was clearly only Fifth Firmament Empyrean, but his combat strength was not the slightest bit inferior to a Seventh Firmament Empyrean.


    Furthermore, his sword was extremely bizarre. It actually disregarded the Souleater Beasts�� spatial law!


    No matter how swift like lightning these Souleater Beasts were, he could kill them with one sword move.


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s gaze turned slightly dark and said, ��This kid is fishy!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� eyes were sharp and said with some surprise, ��This boy knows some spatial law too. Furthermore �� he fused Sword Dao law and spatial law. His offensive power is very sharp. I didn��t expect that he��s also adept at restraining Souleater Beasts.��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn sneered when he heard that and said, ��Human genius martial artist is it? Jeje, dying here is also pretty good!��


    The other Heavenly Emperors also had gloating expressions on their faces.


    But when the Empyreans heard it, they felt surprised.


    This punk��s soul force was so strong. So they did not expect that he was also such a terrifying genius in martial arts.


    No wonder he could actually block Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s attack previously.


    ��Squeak, squeak, squeak ����


    Suddenly, ear-piercing screams were emitted in the caves by the side.


    Three enormous Souleater Beasts scurried out, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan!


    ��Hiss �� There are actually still several Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts hiding!��


    ��Luckily this brat lured them out! Otherwise, we��d be dead for sure!��


    ��However, this boy��s strength is genuinely strong. Placed among human martial artists, he��s absolutely a first-rate genius too! What a shame, he��s going to die here.��


    �� ��


    When the group of Ghost Empyreans saw these three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts, each and every one of them felt their scalps tingle.


    This level of Souleater Beasts was virtually one bite each for them!


    After Ye Yuan killed more than a dozen Souleater Beasts in a row, these three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts finally could not hold back anymore.


    With three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts joining in, Ye Yuan��s pressure immediately skyrocketed.


    But he relied on his movement technique��s superiority and could barely manage to tangle with the Souleater Beasts.


    When the group of Empyreans saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s combat strength was too fearsome. He was simply a human-shaped monster.


    These three Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts, each one facing a human Eighth Firmament Empyrean could definitely win too.


    But, under the pincer attacks of so many Souleater Beasts, Ye Yuan could actually still hold out.


    Even though Ye Yuan��s body had quite a few injuries added, the number of Souleater Beasts was still slowly reducing.


    The faces of the group of Heavenly Emperors finally revealed solemn expressions.


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��This brat was actually still hiding his strength previously! If not for these three Souleater Beasts taking action, we��ve all have been deceived by him!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze also turned slightly dark and said, ��Hiding his strength is nothing much, but these Souleater Beasts are a huge threat! I reckon that there might even be peak Empyrean Realm Souleater Beasts hiding nearby!��


    The moment these words came out, the Heavenly Emperors turned pale with fright!


    Peak Empyrean Souleater Beasts were absolutely horrifying existences to Ghost Dao powerhouses.


    Peak Empyrean and Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts hiding, what were their targets?


    Was there still a need to say?


    At this time, they were rejoicing greatly for Ye Yuan��s existence.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they might really have been tricked by these Souleater Beasts.


    While Heavenly Emperors were invincible existences, Souleater Beasts and Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors were different.


    Peak Empyrean Souleater Beasts similarly posed tremendous threats to Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperors!


    Encountering a natural enemy, the disparity in cultivation realm was no longer disparity sometimes.


    If these Souleater Beasts sneak attacked by taking advantage of the chaos, the final result would really be hard to say.


    If a peak Empyrean Souleater Beast could eat a Ghost Dao Heavenly Emperor, breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor would practically not have much suspense anymore.


    This kind of temptation was worth Souleater Beasts taking the risk.


    However, all their plans were disrupted by Ye Yuan.


    His strength was too strong and actually forcefully contending with the Souleater Beasts horde by himself!


    Currently, even Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beasts were forced out, and they were still unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Sure enough, not long after, a green shadow tore through the blood colors and flew straight for Ye Yuan.


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan��s reaction was extremely fast. With a backhand, it was a sword.


    However, this Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast was too strong. Ye Yuan vomited a mouthful of fresh bloody violently and was blasted flying out.


    How could Ye Yuan still dare to remain still? His figure flashed, tunneling into one of the nearby passageways.


    ��Squeak, squeak, squeak ����


    The Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast cried out strangely and turned into a streak of green light to chase after.


    The Souleater Beasts were already enraged. How could they be willing to let Ye Yuan go?


    Several dozen Souleater Beasts were in hot pursuit, chasing Ye Yuan into that passageway.


    A hint of amusement flashed across the corners of Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� mouth and he said coolly, ��Alright, let��s go then!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn laughed loudly and said, ��This brat finally met his match. This time, see if he still doesn��t die!��


    Ye Yuan luring away the Souleater Beasts, the Empyreans could finally heave a sigh in relief.


    But following that, there was no one to block the spear for them anymore, they could only hope for the best.


    In the crowd, Wu Jiang��s expression flickered incessantly. Finally, he still followed everyone and left.


    �� ��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan turned into a streak of flowing light, speed swift to the extreme.


    Behind him, several dozen Souleater Beasts were quick as lightning, in hot pursuit.


    This passageway��s blood light was a little dimmer, clearly, it was not the most important passageway.


    In a blink, they arrived in an open area.


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly stopped!


    The group of Souleater Beasts also abruptly stopped, enclosing Ye Yuan in the middle.


    The Souleater Beasts�� leader looked at Ye Yuan, a hint of balefulness in its gaze.


    These Souleater Beasts had extremely high intellect. Furthermore, their guts were massive, to actually dare ambush Heavenly Emperors!


    However, all these plans were ruined by Ye Yuan. So how could they not be furious?


    Ye Yuan looked at the Souleater Beast leader and said with a light smile, ��Alright, there��s no one here anymore, can send you all on the way already!��


    The current Ye Yuan, his entire person��s aura was incomparably sharp and fierce, just like a sharp sword that was drawn from its sheath. How did he look like he was heavily injured earlier?


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives they all thought that Ye Yuan was already forced to his limits. Actually, all this was within Ye Yuan��s calculations!


    Souleater Beasts were very clever. Seeing Ye Yuan��s appearance, they immediately became vigilant, eyes revealing wary looks.


    ��Squeak, squeak, squeak ����


    The Souleater Beasts suddenly cried out strangely, turning into bolts of lightning, and they were about to escape.


    ��Too late �� Immobilize!�� The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly as he opened his mouth and said coolly.


    Time Freeze!


    Several dozen streaks of sword light flashed by and disappeared. How much stronger was the power compared to before?


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Several dozen Souleater Beasts were directly killed by Ye Yuan!


    The Eighth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast was already heavily injured on the verge of death, without the slightest strength to resist.


    While the Ninth Firmament Empyrean Souleater Beast��s strength was formidable and was not thoroughly dead yet.


    ��Seal!��


    Ye Yuan moved like lightning, instantly laying down an array formation, and imprisoning these few Souleater Beasts.


    Ye Yuan took out a small bottle and said with a faint smile, ��I didn��t expect that there are actually still fierce beasts like you guys. This really greatly exceeded my expectations. Heh, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, since you think so highly of this Ye, then this Ye also can��t be stingy and will send a big gift to you later!��

 Chapter 2237 - Repaying Great Kindness

    Within a massive karst cave, several dozen figures were above the dome.


    Above the dome, there was a densely packed swarm, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.


    The Ghost Dao Empyreans were currently undergoing a bloody battle with a bunch of blood-red bats.


    On the other side, the seven great Heavenly Emperors were currently in a fierce battle with three gigantic Bloodwing Bats.


    Fortunately, space was heavily distorted here, the undulations of their battle, the majority of it was transmitted away.


    The three Bloodwing Bat Kings were all Heavenly Emperor Realm, with their combat strength being extremely formidable. Even if there was Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, this Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor taking part in the battle, they were still unable to do anything to them within a short time.


    A blood-red lotus flower was growing upside down above the dome, emitting heart palpitating undulations.


    That was shockingly a rank eight spirit medicine!


    On the battlefield, came Ninelives��s alarmed and furious voice.


    ��This group of fools actually can��t even take care of a bunch of bats! So many people added up isn��t as good as that kid alone too! Really a bunch of good-for-nothings!��


    At this time, he actually somewhat missed Ye Yuan.


    This group of people walking all the way, encountered this Blood Lotus Flower before long.


    Rank eight spirit medicine, these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were naturally moved.


    But who would have expected that this Blood Lotus Flower actually had a large group of Bloodwing Bats protecting, and there were even three Heavenly Emperor Realm Bloodwing Bat Kings!


    Even though seven great Heavenly Emperors joining hands practically overwhelmed the Bloodwing Bats, they could not take them down in a short time either.


    The living things in this blood pool all had their methods against soul bodies.


    Among them, one of the Bloodwing Bat Kings was already a peak First Firmament Heavenly Emperor. Coupled with its strange sound wave attack, even Heavenly Emperor Ninelives would find it hard to ward off too.


    While on the other side, those Bloodwing Bat numbers were tremendous.


    Although the majority of these Bloodwing Bats were only rank six, the numbers of rank seven were not a lot, but their numbers were too many.


    After a bloody battle, the Bloodwing Bats and Ghost Dao Empyreans this side suffered heavy casualties.


    ��Damn it, if I��d long known this, I would have let that punk live a while longer! These fools, they simply don��t have any use at all.�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    Only at this time did they know the significance of Ye Yuan��s existence.


    At this time, it was too late to repent.


    ��Brother Ninelives, this isn��t a solution. Until when are you planning on holding back?�� Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather said in a solemn voice.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it. I originally wanted to save some strength, but these three fellows are indeed somewhat troublesome.��


    Finished talking, his fingertips curled lightly. A black lantern appeared in his hand.


    The black lantern emitted an incomparably strong aura, it was shockingly a heavenly emperor spirit treasure!


    When the Heavenly Emperors saw this scene, each and every one of them was overjoyed.


    ��Youluo Ghost Lantern!�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn said with a pleasant surprise.


    This Youluo Ghost Lantern was Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s lifeblood heavenly emperor spirit treasure. Its power was immensely powerful.


    One could say that the Heavenly Emperor Ninelives with the Youluo Ghost Lantern was the real Heavenly Emperor Ninelives!


    It was only to see Heavenly Emperor Ninelives hold his palm out. Youluo Ghost Lantern exuded a sinister ghostly energy, making the entire karst cave��s temperature drop by a few degrees.


    ��Voracious Ghost Face, devour for me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze turned intent, crying out coldly. A behemoth-like ghostly figure emerged from the Youluo Ghost Lantern.


    This ghost face opened its gaping maws and guzzled over towards the three Bloodwing Bat Kings.


    Sensing this terrifying ghost face, a hint of viciousness flashed across the eyes of that strongest Bloodwing Bat King��s eyes.


    Suddenly, bloody light shone brightly, the three Bloodwing Bat Kings opened their gaping maws.


    A sound wave that could obliterate heaven and decimate the earth vibrated out.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Far away, quite a few Ghost Dao powerhouses were affected by this horrifying sound wave and directly exploded.


    The faces of the seven great Heavenly Emperors changed greatly, not expecting that these Bloodwing Bat Kings were actually so strong.


    No time to think too much, they unleashed all of their trump cards, meeting with the Bloodwing Bat Kings one after another.


    The great battle escalated once more!


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors had the advantage in numbers in the end. Gradually, the three Bloodwing Bat Kings finally could not hold on anymore.


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors were incomparably excited. Their injuries were not light either, but obtaining the Blood Lotus Flower, everything would be worth it.


    ��Yo, very lively huh!��


    Right at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded out.


    The Heavenly Emperors�� gazes turned intent, looking at that figure which suddenly appeared with horrified faces.


    Who could this figure be if not Ye Yuan?


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s eyes shrunk and he exclaimed, ��This boy is actually not dead? No, wait! Why doesn��t he have any injuries on his body at all?��


    Being pursued by a peak Empyrean Souleater Beast, Ye Yuan actually did not have injuries on his body!


    How did this guy do it?


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors all had astounded faces. It was also because of this that they were almost finished off by the Bloodwing Bat Kings.


    They had no time to think too much, immediately recollecting their mouths and focusing on dealing with the Bloodwing Bat Kings.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had arrived long ago and was concealed in the void all along, observing the great battle between the Bloodwing Bat Kings and the Heavenly Emperors.


    At this time, the timing was apt, that was why Ye Yuan revealed his figure.


    ��How is this possible? Boy, what do you want to do?�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn said in alarm and anger.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Do what? In order to repay Lord Heavenly Emperors�� great kindness, this Ye is naturally going to pluck this Blood Lotus Flower away.��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, striding out and flying straight for the Blood Lotus Flower.


    The number of Bloodwing Bat was a lot. The moment they saw Ye Yuan rush over, there were immediately several Empyrean Realm Bloodwing Bats that rushed over, attempting to stop Ye Yuan.


    But, the places that Ye Yuan��s sword light arrived at, these Bloodwing Bats were not opponents that could last one exchange with this sword move at all!


    His combat power was even stronger than these Ghost Empyreans added together!


    But the moment he joined the battlefield, there were immediately even more Bloodwing Bats that came to surround him.


    Ye Yuan brandished his sword and slaughtered them, akin to entering a no-mans-land.


    No one noticed that when Ye Yuan was killing the Bloodwing Bats, he was quietly laying down an array formation above the dome.


    Over there, when the Heavenly Emperors saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely alarmed and enraged.


    They cursed fervently, but Ye Yuan completely ignored them and got closer and closer to the Blood Lotus Flower.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze turned intent and he suddenly smacked the Youluo Ghost Lantern.


    A thick to the extreme black gas gushed out, enveloping his whole body.


    ��Vajra Ghost Body! Explode for me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives seemed to have draped on a layer of battle armor, his combat power suddenly going off the charts.


    Those three Bloodwing Bat Kings were long already arrows at the end of its flight. How could they resist the Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, rampaging once more?


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    The horrifying energy undulation made the entire karst cave��s space become several degrees more distorted.


    The three great Bloodwing Bat Kings were finally finished off by Heavenly Emperor Ninelives.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan already charged to the vicinity of the Blood Lotus Flower.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� gaze was incomparably cold as he said with a sneer, ��Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate yet you want to barge inside! Since you��re seeking death, then this Heavenly Emperor will send you off!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn also smiled coldly and said, ��Brat, you survived a calamity and actually still dared to come and court death! This time, I��ll see where you can hide! Kill!��


    A measly little Empyrean actually dared to covet the treasure that they expended great efforts to obtain.


    The seven great Heavenly Emperors were incomparably enraged and actually joined forces and charged over.


    Seven Heavenly Emperors, how astonishing was the power?


    When the other Ghost Dao powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of their complexions turned deathly pale.


    While right at this time, a hint of a strange smile suddenly flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    When Heavenly Emperor Ninelives saw this smile, all the hair on his body stood up.

 Chapter 2238 - Ravaging Heavenly Emperors!

    An unbelievably strong sense of crisis welled up in Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s heart.


    He looked at that extremely mocking smile of Ye Yuan��s. No idea why, it was like seeing the faint smile of the grim reaper.


    ��Not good! There��s a trap!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s figure suddenly stopped, wanting to pull out and leave.


    But how could it still make it in time?


    ��Formation, arise!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold cry.


    Suddenly, the seven great Heavenly Emperors�� area became a misty stretch.


    ��Ahh! Souleater Beasts�� saliva! This is the saliva of Souleater Beasts!�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn gave a miserable scream. His cries were filled with alarm and terror.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    Miserable cries came over one after another. The seven great Heavenly Emperors seemed to have fallen into hell all of a sudden, crying out at the top of their voices.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives moved the fastest according to the circumstances, directly breaking the formation and leaving.


    But he was the first who charged over. The Souleater Beasts�� saliva that he was contaminated by was also the most.


    Although Ye Yuan��s array formation was formidable, it was nothing to Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    However, the goal of Ye Yuan��s array formation was not to trap them. It was just to make them get contaminated with the Souleater Beasts�� saliva.


    Heavenly Emperor Zhao Hun��s reaction was the slowest. His whole body from head to toe was practically tainted by Souleater Beasts�� saliva.


    His body instantly became much dimmer.


    The other Heavenly Emperors were also infected with Souleater Beasts�� saliva to varying degrees!


    For some time, miserable cries lingered in their ears.


    With the addition of Ye Yuan, those Ghost Dao powerhouses�� pressure fell drastically and already broke up the remaining Bloodwing Bats.


    When they saw that the seven great Heavenly Emperors were actually in this state, each and every one of them looked toward Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    Not only did this guy not die, he killed his way back instead and turned the Heavenly Emperors into this state!


    Was �� he still human?


    ��Damn it! How can this Souleater Beast saliva be so strong? This Heavenly Emperor �� This Heavenly Emperor feels like I��m about to asphyxiate already!�� Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze finally revealed a hint of panic.


    Ye Yuan took his time to pluck the Blood Lotus Flower, put it away, and said with a faint smile, ��I refined this Souleater Beast��s saliva before. The power �� is roughly 100 times of the original!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of terror.


    Souleater Beast saliva was a potent toxin to soul bodies to begin with. Now, this was actually 100 times greater than before!


    This lethality was too great!


    On Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s body, Dao marks flickered incessantly.


    But it was still unable to stop the dissipation of the body!


    Amidst the miserable cries, Heavenly Emperor Zhao Hun��s figure became dimmer and dimmer, finally dissipating without a trace.


    The Ghost Empyreans only felt their scalps tingle, looking at this scene with great terror.


    The scene before their eyes was seriously too shocking.


    ��A �� A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse died just like that?�� A Ghost Empyrean still did not quite dare to believe it.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were extremely hard to kill and also represented invincibility.


    In their view, Heavenly Emperors were undying existences.


    But now, one was actually killed by an Empyrean just like that!


    All the gazes gathered on Ye Yuan, full of dread.


    This human was too terrifying!


    Very soon, another Heavenly Emperor scattered and disappeared completely, dead!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at this scene with a calm face.


    Dao marks revolved on the Heavenly Emperors�� bodies, resisting the corrosion of the Souleater Beast saliva madly.


    After all, they were Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. Enveloping in Dao marks, their life force was extremely strong.


    Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn, and a few others were more careful. The Souleater Beast��s salivas they were tainted by were not much. They barely managed to resist it.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s strength was the strongest. He resisted the corrosion desperately.


    But his body was still in the midst of slowly dissipating.


    Very soon, the third Heavenly Emperor perished!


    Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn, and the rest finally kept the dissipation of their bodies in check.


    But their bodies already became very illusory. The Souleater Beast��s saliva clearly caused them great injury, and they were unable to be recover to full health within a short time.


    The Ghost Empyreans sucked in a cold breath!


    In a blink, out of seven great Heavenly Emperors, three died and three were injured, there was still one currently struggling desperately.


    This human was simply too fearsome!


    But seeing this scene, the group of Ghost Empyreans also felt delighted in their hearts.


    From the beginning, they were kidnapped by the seven great Heavenly Emperors, who forced them to enter and be cannon fodders.


    Now, seeing them so miserable, they were naturally happy to see it happen.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s figure became fainter and fainter, and he was clearly could not hold on already.


    As for Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn, his expression currently was extremely ugly.


    Swoosh!


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn did not hesitate in the slightest, turning around and fleeing.


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, taking a step out, and actually reached first despite launching later, blocking Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn.


    ��Why? Meeting once again, haven��t even said hello properly and you want to leave already?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s strength currently had less than 5% remaining and was weak to the extreme. He was not Ye Yuan��s match at all.


    ��You �� What do you want?�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn said with a look of apprehension.


    ��What do I want? Huhu, don��t you have any idea what you��ve done before? Didn��t you say that my threat was very laughable? Didn��t you say that an Empyrean threatening a Heavenly Emperor is overestimating my own ability? What about now? Are Heavenly Emperors very impressive?�� Ye Yuan said with a look of amusement.


    Were Heavenly Emperors very impressive?


    How insufferably arrogant was the Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn previously, killing people at a word of disagreement.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan and these Ghost Dao Empyreans were merely ant-like existences.


    But now, Ye Yuan had full confidence when he said this sentence!


    The other Heavenly Emperors were still fine, but this Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn wanted his life straight away.


    Later, he also incited Heavenly Emperor Ninelives time and again.


    This enmity was long formed. It was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to let him off.


    ��Ye Yuan, the matters previously were all this Heavenly Emperor��s fault! I apologize to you! I �� I beg you to give me a way out!�� Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn was shameless and actually lowered himself and begged Ye Yuan for mercy.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��If apologizing had a use, what do we still need cultivation for? Isn��t becoming strong is to be able to control everything as we wish?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, do you really want to have a life and death struggle?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Life and death struggle? With just the likes of you?��


    Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s gaze turned intent. Gritting his teeth, Dao marks surfaced on his body.


    A surge of Heavenly Dao pressure suddenly enveloped.


    There was suddenly a dark ax in his hand!


    Heavenly emperor spirit treasure!


    He snorted coldly and said, ��A starving camel is still bigger than a horse! Ye Yuan, you forced me!��


    ��That��s Distant Hatred Heaven Slaughter Axe, Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s consummate skill!��


    ��Heavenly Emperor powerhouses are Heavenly Emperor powerhouses! Even when seriously injured, they are also not what Empyreans can provoke!��


    ��What��s Ye Yuan doing? Could it be that he already resigned himself to fate?��


    �� ��


    The Ghost Empyreans had shocked faces, clearly being intimidated by Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s imposing aura.


    Even if Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn was currently seriously wounded, the might of a Heavenly Emperor still could not be provoked.


    Just based on heavenly emperor spirit treasures and Dao marks, he could still instantly kill peak Empyrean powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. With a calm mind, he was watching Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn perform, seemingly not having the intention of taking action.


    Just as Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s aura soared to the peak and the ax was about to land.


    Ye Yuan lightly spat a word out of his mouth.


    ��Immobilize!��


    At the same time, Ye Yuan flashed, already arriving in front of Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn, scattering Souleater Beast��s saliva.

 Chapter 2239 - Even

    The shrill scream shook until the entire cave was practically about to collapse.


    The quantity of this bunch of Souleater Beasts�� salivas was sufficient for Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn to die ten times over!


    He could dispel away the Souleater Beast saliva in the array formation, but in his current state, how could he dodge Ye Yuan��s Time Freeze?


    His figure became fainter and fainter, finally dissipating without a trace amidst the miserable screams.


    Ye Yuan received Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn��s ax and put away the Heavenly Emperor spirit treasure.


    Although he did not use an ax, it was a Heavenly Emperor spirit treasure after all.


    Each and every one of these Heavenly Emperors had ulterior motives too. The battle situation was so fierce, and yet Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn actually still held back.


    While at this time, over at Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s side, the struggle came to an epilogue already as well.


    A Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor, the tenacity of his life force was on a completely different level.


    He got hit by the most, but he held out the longest!


    All of the Empyreans�� gazes shifted along with Ye Yuan, and they could still hear the sounds of cold air being drawn from time to time.


    This guy was too terrifying!


    ��Just now, that was �� Heavenly Dao True Word, right?��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn didn��t die in vain! They all thought that they had already figured out Ye Yuan��s trump cards. But what Ye Yuan displayed before was merely just a portion of it!��


    ��With a wave of a hand, among the seven great Heavenly Emperors, five dead and two injured! T-Truly a terrifying fellow!��


    �� ��


    These Ghost Dao Empyreans were also old monsters who had lived for no idea how many tens of thousands of years already. But their past experiences added up was also not as shocking as today.


    Only today did they know that it turned out Heavenly Emperors could be so feeble too.


    Ye Yuan��s footsteps moved, slowly walking over towards Heavenly Emperor Ninelives.


    ��Brat, this Heavenly wmperor won��t let you off!�� Heavenly Emperor Ninelives looked at Ye Yuan hatefully and bellowed.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly, revealing a look of disdain.


    The threat of someone who was about to die, would he take it to heart?


    Rather, that Youluo Ghost Lantern, Ye Yuan paid quite a bit of attention to it.


    ��Release!��


    Right at this time, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives finally gave up struggling, ending his life with his own weapon.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, perished!


    Everyone��s heart shook wildly. Although they had known the ending long ago, when this ending really occurred, they still felt like they did not dare to believe it.


    After all, that was a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    Ye Yuan himself did not have much reaction to his suicide, grabbing straight at the Youluo Ghost Lantern.


    But just as his hand was about to grab until the Youluo Ghost Lantern, warning bells rang!


    At this time, a voice suddenly sounded out, ��Brother Ye, careful! Heavenly Emperor Ninelives didn��t die!��


    No time to think too much, Ye Yuan displayed spatial law to the extreme, directly vanishing on the spot.


    Rumble!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing, a vacuum was directly blasted out in the blood light.


    Only afterward did it slowly recover.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Even if Ye Yuan��s reaction was extremely fast, he was still affected by this.


    His gaze turned slightly dark, looking at the Youluo Ghost Lantern.


    It was only to see a ghost slowly emerge from within. Who could it be if not Heavenly Emperor Ninelives?


    He looked at Ye Yuan. A hint of killing intent was flashing across his eyes as he said in a solemn voice, ��Turns out that this is your true strength. We were all hoodwinked by you!��


    The spatial law that Ye Yuan displayed just now already reached peak rank six.


    Even ordinary Heavenly Emperors would find it hard to compare too.


    The certain-kill strike that he prepared for Ye Yuan was still evaded by Ye Yuan in the end.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives could not help regretting deeply!


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Ninelives, his gazes glimmering.


    This guy actually rose from the dead!


    But the Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor was significantly weaker than before, and already dropped to a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives did not make a move now. Clearly, he was extremely wary of Ye Yuan too.


    The Souleater Beast��s saliva after being refined was too strong. If he were to be contaminated again, he would virtually not have much strength to fight back anymore.


    ��Heavenly Emperor Ninelives! Heh heh, I underestimated your name!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold laugh.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives snorted coldly and said, ��This Youluo Ghost Lantern can save eight soul parts, nourishing them inside! Each soul part is one life. This Heavenly Emperor naturally has nine lives! Otherwise, how do you think Heavenly Emperor Ninelives this title came about?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��So that��s how it is! I killed a life of yours, we��re considered even. If you provoke this Ye again, then this Ye don��t dare to guarantee how many lives you can still have remaining!��


    This was a blatant threat!


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s gaze turned cold. Staying quiet for a moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Jiang.


    ��You know this Heavenly Emperor��s trump card?��


    The one who warned earlier was none other than precisely Wu Jiang.


    Wu Jiang��s expression was somewhat ugly and he said, ��Back then, you and Heavenly Emperor Spiritbless, in order to fight for the Silvernet Blood Essence, perished together. This Wu just happened to be present! However, the result of that battle was that he perished, but you obtained the Silvernet Blood Essence, and broke through to become a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor!��


    When everyone heard this, they could not help revealing a look of surprise.


    Heavenly Emperor Spiritbless was also a peerless powerhouse who walked out of the Asura Blood Sea, but he died in the end.


    They did not expect that he actually perished together with Heavenly Emperor Ninelives.


    Youluo Ghost Lantern this heavenly emperor spirit treasure was truly a major killing tool!


    Heavenly Emperor Spiritbless perished, but Heavenly Emperor Ninelives obtained the Silvernet Blood Essence. Because of it, he broked through to become a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    It was just a pity that this time, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives did not obtain any benefits. Not only did he lose a life, but his realm also fell too.


    In the end, the Blood Lotus Flower was also acquired by Ye Yuan.


    One could say that any gains could not make up for the losses!


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of Wu Jiang with a flash and said, ��Just now, many thanks for Brother Wu��s warning. This Ye owes you a favor.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took out the Blood Lotus Flower. A sword light flashed past and actually directly split the Blood Lotus Flower into two.


    He passed Wu Jiang half and said coolly, ��This half portion of Blood Lotus Flower, just take it as returning your favor.��


    All around, the Empyreans�� faces had surprise and also envy.


    One sentence exchanged for half a Blood Lotus Flower. This was too effortless.


    Wu Jiang did not take it and said with a bitter smile, ��Actually, even without my reminder just now, Brother Ye would be fine too. This Blood Lotus Flower, I��m not worthy of it!��


    It was not that he, Wu Jiang, was an upright gentleman, but actually he had witnessed Ye Yuan��s numerous means. His opinion of Ye Yuan was already not the same long ago.


    In the very beginning, he only felt that Ye Yuan��s strength was not ordinary. That was why he wanted to form an alliance with him.


    But along the way, Ye Yuan overcame all the difficulties with his strength alone. He was virtually undefeatable in Empyrean Realm!


    Now, he even slaughtered five great Heavenly Emperors in a row!


    This kind of battle achievement simply subverted his understanding.


    Just now, he saw it plainly. When he was warning Ye Yuan, the latter already unconsciously displayed spatial law.


    Hence, even without his warning, Ye Yuan would also be fine.


    At most, the injuries would just be slightly worse.


    Therefore, it was not that he did not want to take this half Blood Lotus Flower, but that he did not dare to take it.


    Obtaining this half portion of Blood Lotus Flower, with his talent, he would have another 10% assurance of assaulting rank eight Empyrean!


    Ye Yuan directly stuffed half of the Blood Lotus Flower into Wu Jiang��s hands and said coolly, ��This Ye looks at the process, not look at the result. You deserve to take it!��


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was still rather discontented with Wu Jiang.


    After all, he and Wu Jiang formed an alliance, but Wu Jiang never took any action.


    However, with that warning earlier, this half a Blood Lotus Flower was worth it!

 Chapter 2240 - Does This Boy Want to Defy the Heavens?

    It was a great battle. The losses were heavy. Everyone recuperated on their own.


    Ye Yuan did not think too much, directly swallowing his portion of Blood Lotus Flower.


    Blood Lotus Flower was an extremely rare rank eight spirit medicine, the spiritual energy contained within was extremely abundant.


    If refined into a pill, it would be a medicinal pill that could let Heavenly Emperor powerhouses advance greatly in strength.


    The Blood Lotus Flower grew in the Asura Blood Sea, this kind of place. Hence, it contained a lot of carnage energy inside. Ordinary human martial artists did not dare to directly swallow it at all.


    Seeing Ye Yuan directly swallow the Blood Lotus Flower, the Empyreans could not help being stupefied.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care. Carnage energy was similarly a great tonic to him.


    Half a day later, Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed, finally reaching peak middle-stage Chaos Realm. There was only a hair��s breadth away from late-stage Chaos Realm.


    Seeing this, everyone could not help feeling speechless.


    This human was unable to gauge using common sense at all.


    Ye Yuan found Wu Jiang and discovered that his aura also rose significantly, and that he had already reached peak Empyrean Realm.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could detect that the Blood Lotus Flower still had a large portion of medicinal strength that was not refined.


    The residual rank eight laws in the Blood Lotus Flower would also help him comprehend Heavenly Dao, and this would increase the chances of breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor.


    Ye Yuan could perceive that Wu Jiang��s strength was extraordinary.


    With this Blood Lotus Flower, he already faintly had some awareness that breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor in the future would likely not be difficult.


    This thing meant too much to Wu Jiang!


    Rather, it was Ye Yuan who was like a bottomless pit, sucking all the medicinal strength without anything remaining.


    ��Looks like Brother Wu��s harvest is greater than I imagined. Congratulations, Brother Wu,�� Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    Wu Jiang had a grateful look as he said, ��This is still all thanks to Brother Ye gifting the medicine!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��The Silvernet Blood Essence hasn��t appeared for a long time, but Heavenly Emperor level fierce beasts are already appearing here. Continuing forward will be unbelievably dangerous. Let��s bid farewell here.��


    Wu Jiang��s gaze flickered and was just about to speak when suddenly, the laughter of a child suddenly sounded out inside the karst cave.


    ��Hehehe ����


    The faces of the Empyreans changed slightly. Suddenly, a streak of silver light flashed past.


    Whoosh!


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, that silver light rushed straight for the Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather who was currently healing his injuries!


    The powerful Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather actually did not have the slightest strength to resist and was directly abducted away.


    ��Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil, activate!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, directly activating the Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil. He then saw a seven to eight years old child biting Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather in his mouth, and he was heading toward the depths of the passageway.


    Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather��s face revealed a look of terror. But he was being bitten by the child and did not have leftover strength to resist at all.


    Wu Jiang��s face changed and he said, ��That��s �� the aura of the Silvernet Blood Essence! A Silvernet Blood Essence that has taken human form!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly. Virtually without the slightest hesitation, his figure shot out like lightning.


    At the same time, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s figure also shot out like lightning.


    The two figures, one in front and one at the back, vanishing from everyone��s line of sight in a blink of an eye.


    ��This Silvernet Blood Essence actually grasped spatial law!��


    Ye Yuan was startled. With his spatial law comprehensions, he actually could not catch up to the Silvernet Blood Essence within a short time.


    This Silvernet Blood Essence��s spatial law was already rather terrifying.


    However, Ye Yuan��s spatial law was ultimately a notch higher. The distance was constantly shrinking.


    At the back, the more Heavenly Emperor Ninelives chased, the more alarmed he got.


    He, this Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, actually could not catch up to an Empyrean!


    Ye Yuan��s spatial law was not restricted here at all.


    This guy was simply a monster.


    However, he was, at any rate, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, forcefully relying on his powerful divine essence as an advantage, hanging behind Ye Yuan.


    Three figures, racing each other, dashing in the passageway.


    But Ye Yuan was burning with anxiety in his heart, the deeper in, the more dangerous.


    Those top major powers were all in the depths of the passageway.


    The direction that this Silvernet Blood Essence was heading in was precisely where the bloody light was most flourishing.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan��s Sun Moon Heavenly Pupil saw it clearly.


    As the Silvernet Blood Essence fled, it gnawed on Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather!


    He could feel that child��s aura currently becoming stronger little by little.


    ��Hurry! A little faster!��


    Ye Yuan urged his speed to the limits, but he was still unable to be any faster.


    Although the distance was shrinking, continuing to chase at this speed, no idea when he would have to chase until.


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan only had one thought in his mind, that was to be a little faster!


    Behind Ye Yuan, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s pupils suddenly constricted, his heart shaking wildly.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan��s speed suddenly skyrocketed, like he added an ignition device, heading for the Silvernet Blood Essence like flying.


    ��What��s going on? This boy clearly already reached his limits. Why would he suddenly become so fast? No, wait! It��s �� It��s me who slowed down!��


    Monstrous waves stirred up in Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s heart. He discovered that the scenery on both sides gradually slowed down.


    But he was clearly maintaining the fastest speed.


    What was going on?


    Earlier, when he saw Ye Yuan suddenly accelerate, it was just his misconception.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives��s thoughts flashed in his mind, his gaze revealing a look of amazement.


    ��T-Time law! This boy comprehended time law?��


    ��Won��t be wrong! This �� This is definitely time law!��


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� current emotion was simply unable to use words to describe. He just felt his back drip with cold sweat.


    He only felt like there was a myriad of profanities running across his mind.


    How could there be such a monstrous person in this world?


    ��Time law, spatial law! Two supreme laws, he comprehended two forms of time! Does this boy want to defy the heavens?��


    Any words were insufficient to describe his current shock.


    At this moment, he was incomparably certain that Ye Yuan indeed touched time law, making the surrounding time flow slow down.


    Hence, that was why his speed would be blinding fast.


    Concerning supreme laws, comprehending one was already the blessing of 18 generations of ancestors.


    This boy actually comprehended two of them!


    In the future, after he corroborated his Dao and became a Heavenly Emperor, the day when he became a supreme lord, who could still be his match in this Heavenspan World?


    Terrifying!


    Too terrifying!


    Just thinking about it, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives shuddered without feeling cold.


    Reaching Heavenly Emperor Realm, the things that could make them bee in awe and veneration were already very few.


    He had never thought that he would reveal fearful feelings toward an Empyrean Realm martial artist one day!


    Meeting Ye Yuan for the first time, he only felt that his strength was decent.


    But along the way, he forced out Ye Yuan��s strength little by little.


    When Ye Yuan displayed Heavenly Emperor True Word, that instant he annihilated Heavenly Emperor Ghostmourn.


    Only then did he know what kind of a monster he provoked!


    But he was still unconvinced. He was a Heavenly Emperor. How could he accept an Empyrean scaring him to this extent?


    Hence, he wanted to borrow the opportunity of rebirth and kill Ye Yuan in one stroke.


    But Ye Yuan��s spatial law erupted in full force, finally still avoiding his certain-kill strike!


    At that time, he became extremely apprehensive of Ye Yuan.


    If not for the Silvernet Blood Essence being too important to him, he even wanted to leave at this point.


    But precisely because he followed after, he witnessed the moment of a miracle!


    A peerless powerhouse who gathered two supreme laws onto one body was born!

 Chapter 2241 - The Powerhouse That Walked Out of the Blood Pool!

    Ye Yuan��s heart was rippleless like an ancient well. He did not rejoice because of comprehending time law.


    He only had one thought, which was to catch up to the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    The Silvernet Blood Essence was too important to him!


    Without the Silvernet Blood Essence, not only was he unable to let Dustless regain consciousness, Mu Lingxue would even thoroughly wither away!


    Time waited for no man, Ye Yuan was already unable to keep waiting.


    Closer!


    Even closer!


    Suddenly, the Silvernet Blood Essence��s footsteps suddenly stopped, and turned around abruptly, flashing Ye Yuan a charming and evil smile.


    At this time, Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather was already completely gone. Clearly, he was eaten up by the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, alarming bells ringing!


    It was only to see Silvernet Blood Essence suddenly suck in and was about to spew something out.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and suddenly opened his mouth.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Time Freeze!


    Silvernet Blood Essence��s move was not used yet and was immobilized by Ye Yuan firmly there, unable to move a muscle.


    His eyes were full of astonishment.


    He also felt the change in time flow earlier and knew that he could not run. That was why he turned around and attacked.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had such a follow-up.


    ��Sword of will, chop!��


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, directly condensing the sword of will and chopped toward the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    The Silvernet Blood Essence had a primordial spirit body, also a type of soul body.


    Sword of will caused the greatest harm to him!


    Silvernet Blood Essence gave a muffled groan and was directly blasted flying by Ye Yuan.


    This primordial spirit was originally peak Empyrean. After absorbing Heavenly Emperor Brutalfeather, he faintly showed signs of breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor.


    It was just that, he had not broken through yet. So how could he withstand such a condensed chope from Ye Yuan?


    Silvernet Blood Essence suffered serious injuries and rolled on the ground. But then he actually escaped into the void again, fleeing like a wisp of vapor!


    While at this time, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives also rushed over.


    Ye Yuan suddenly turned around, his eyes icy-cold.


    At this time, whoever vied for the silvernet blood essence with him, that would be a life-and-death great enmity.


    Ye Yuan absolutely would not show mercy.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s look, Heavenly Emperor Ninelives could not help trembling. He actually did not dare take another step forward.


    Ye Yuan did not have time to tangle with Heavenly Emperor Ninelives. Turning around, he chased after again.


    Silvernet Blood Essence suffered heavy wounds. Its speed was no longer as fast as before. Ye Yuan went all out to chase after. This time it was much faster.


    Before long, Ye Yuan caught up to the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    ��Immobilize!��


    ��Sword of will!��


    Another set of combination techniques!


    Without the slightest surprise, the Silvernet Blood Essence was seriously injured once more, rolling on the ground!


    Casting Time Freeze repeatedly, Ye Yuan felt drained too.


    However, in order to get the Silvernet Blood Essence, he also could not care that much anymore.


    Silvernet Blood Essence was clearly not an ordinary primordial spirit. His strength was much stronger than even peak Empyrean.


    Although Ye Yuan��s two chops were swift and fierce, it was unable to kill him.


    Who knew that this guy rolled on the ground and ran away once more!


    Ye Yuan secretly cursed in his heart and could only chase again.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    In front, extremely horrifying booming sounds came over. Clearly, there were powerhouses fighting.


    From time to time, there were even intense undulations transmitting out.


    If not for Ye Yuan being adept in spatial law, he would have long been decimated by this strong undulation.


    But this way, the difficulty of Ye Yuan catching up to the Silvernet Blood Essence also increased.


    This silvernet blood essence charged inside crazily as if he did not want to preserve his life.


    Suddenly, it became clear before his eyes. There was no more path ahead!


    Ahead, was a massive blood pool.


    In the middle of the blood pool, there was a huge whirlpool, emitting an undulation that made people��s hair raise.


    This undulation was just like the signs of a precious treasure being about to come into being.


    The source of this limitless blood light was this blood pool vortex.


    Within the massive karst cave, there were dead bodies of fierce beasts covering the ground.


    These dead bodies had just died and were still giving off extremely strong undulations.


    While alive, they were clearly all late-stage Heavenly Emperor supreme level fierce beasts.


    Above the dome of the karst cave, there were eight statues of gods carved in various directions, the faces contorted.


    Above the vortex, there were clearly powerful restrictions.


    These powerful Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were currently bombarding those restrictions frenziedly.


    The restrictions already could not endure it and showed signs of about to collapse.


    The two people, one chased and one fled, and actually arrived at the deepest area of the blood sea!


    Instinctively, Ye Yuan felt that something was wrong.


    But he could not care that much anymore.


    His goal was the Silvernet Blood Essence!


    ��You can��t run anymore!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry and was about to employ the sword of will once more.


    But right at this time, a horrifying to the extreme energy suddenly erupted.


    Ye Yuan did not have time to make a move and was directly sent flying by a huge billow of air together with the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    Ye Yuan spouted a mouthful of fresh blood violently, his figure jumping into the void, frenziedly avoiding the violent energy.


    That blood-red restriction was broken!


    Those Heavenly Emperors were caught by surprise, directly being blasted until they were sent flying out in all directions.


    This horrifying energy undulation, even Heavenly Emperors could not block it too!


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan was still very far away from them and was not situated in the center of the explosion.


    Otherwise, even if Ye Yuan had the eighth transformation golden body, he would also die without a doubt.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan displayed spatial law and avoided the countless streams of energy impact, that was how he turned danger into safety.


    But even so, he still suffered heavy injuries!


    As for the Silvernet Blood Essence, his primordial spirit body was already blown until there was only a phantom left.


    The two people were both seriously injured.


    And at this time, the unresigned Heavenly Emperor Ninelives also just happened to rush over and just nice ran into this surge of terrifying energy.


    Heavenly Emperor Ninelives directly suffered serious wounds and was similarly bombarded until he only had a phantom figure left. He then fainted unconsciously.


    Right at this time, a figure slowly walked out of the blood pool.


    That imposing aura shocked heaven and earth, disdaining all under the heaven!


    Amidst the chaos, Ye Yuan gave a glance and his mind could not help being greatly shocked.


    That person slowly walked out of the blood pool and gave a disdainful glance at the Heavenly Emperor powerhouses lying on the ground.


    ��You �� Who are you?�� The Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Emperor Quicksand, looked at the arrival with a look of horror.


    The undulations emitting from this person seemingly indicated he was merely a middle-stage Heavenly Emperor.


    But, the feeling that he gave Heavenly Emperor Quicksand was dangerous to the extreme!


    The arrival looked at Heavenspan World Quicksand and said with a disdainful look, ��Who am I? You aren��t fit to know yet! Foolish things! A spirit treasure can already make you all fight until heads are broken and bleeding! However, thanks to you all, this ancestor finally descended upon Heavenspan World anew! Hahaha �� Tremble, humans!��


    That person carried a jade plate in his hand, emitting an aura that made people feel suffocated.


    Clearly, such a big commotion was caused by this jade plate.


    The expressions of Heavenly Emperor Quicksand and the rest changed wildly, only then, did they know that they were simply being exploited by someone!


    ��T-This ancestor? Could �� Could it be that you��re a Dao Ancestor? This �� This isn��t possible!�� Heavenly Emperor Quicksand said in astonishment.


    That person��s gaze revealed a trace of disdain and he said, ��Dao Ancestor? Heh, after this ancestor recovers my strength, those few little fellows �� just wait and tremble!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan directly swallowed several medicinal pills, some that recovered divine essence, and also recovered injuries.


    With end spirit divine pills entering the body, Ye Yuan��s injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Done with these, he directly grabbed toward the Silvernet Blood Essence.


    But right then, the Silvernet Blood Essence flew straight towards that person who walked out of the blood pool with a whoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly!

 Chapter 2242 - Infinite God Killing Bow!

    In just a blink of an eye, the Silvernet Blood Essence tunneled into that person��s bosom.


    Ye Yuan��s injuries had yet to recover, but it was already too late to want to catch up.


    The current Silvernet Blood Essence was already unbelievably weak. That person hugged him, Dao marks flashing on his body.


    The Silvernet Blood Essence was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Then, the Silvernet Blood Essence chirruped. People had no idea what he was talking about.


    That person��s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly turned stiff, feeling like his throat was being clutched by someone, unable to even breathe.


    This person was too terrifying!


    Just this look, Ye Yuan was certain that the other party��s strength was probably much more horrifying than Nineorigin!


    That was right, this guy who walked out of the blood pool, his aura was identical with Nineorigin��s.


    He was of the divine race!


    Furthermore, he was an existence even more terrifying than Nineorigin!


    The divine race powerhouse rubbed the Silvernet Blood Essence��s little head and said, ��Relax, this ancestor helped you to unlock intelligence. So you��re this ancestor��s person. If somebody bullies you, this ancestor will naturally seek justice for you. After this ancestor takes care of these few fellows, I��ll extract that boy��s divine soul out, and let you eat him!��


    Hearing this, the Silvernet Blood Essence giggled, appearing very happy.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Ye Yuan��s eyes, but he did not run away.


    The Silvernet Blood Essence was not captured, so how could he possibly escape?


    At most �� enter the gray-pupil state once more and clash head-on with this guy once!


    Although this divine race powerhouse was extremely terrifying, his present state was far from comparable to Nineorigin.


    Even though Ye Yuan was wary, it was not to the extent of fleeing in defeat either.


    The divine race powerhouse gave Ye Yuan a glance rather unexpectedly and said, ��Under this ancestor��s pressure, you actually didn��t escape. Boy, you somewhat surprised me.��


    Ye Yuan was merely a little crawling bug in his eyes. He would not care at all.


    His attention was still on those several Heavenly Emperors.


    After all, those were existences that could threaten him.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said, ��You��re the divine race��s ancestor. So you call yourself this ancestor?��


    ��You know about the divine race?�� The divine race powerhouse was really surprised this time.


    While the few Heavenly Emperors looked at Ye Yuan with blank faces. Clearly, they had not heard of such an amazing race before.


    ��Not only do I know, but I also even fought them before. It��s just a pity, too weak!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Seeing the divine race, the fury in Ye Yuan��s heart soared, and he naturally did not have any good expression.


    The moment the divine race powerhouse heard, he could not help bursting out laughing and said, ��Haha �� weak? It��s still the first time somebody said that the divine race is weak in front of this ancestor! Boy, you��re very cocky! However, you have to come up with a draft first when you��re boasting too! My divine race, in the same rank, there��s still no problem fighting ten of you by themselves!��


    ��Is that so? Then I wonder how many of your divine sons can fight me alone?�� Ye Yuan said with a look of contempt.


    The divine race powerhouse��s eyes shrunk again. He discovered that Ye Yuan really seemed to know quite a bit about the divine race!


    The past had faded like smoke. Those in this Heavenspan World who knew that the divine race��s existence were only those old monsters who survived from the last epoch.


    How could this brat in front of him possibly know?


    His gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Humph! Brat, to dare provoke this ancestor! Well done, after this ancestor takes care of these few, I��ll slowly deal with you again!��


    Finished talking, his gaze turned sharp and he said to those few people, ��Alright, send the few of you on the way first!��


    Done talking, the aura on the divine race powerhouse��s body suddenly erupted, causing Dao marks flickering incessantly.


    An outrageous pressure made the faces of the few great Heavenly Emperors change drastically.


    They were currently heavily injured and did not even have the chance to escape.


    However, right at this time, something unforeseen happened!


    The Dao marks on the divine race powerhouse��s body stimulated the air in the enormous cave all at once.


    Rumble!


    An even more frightening energy undulation than before rose up in the huge cave.


    Within the karst cave, the blood light faded, eight dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up, rapidly spreading to the eight directions of the cave.


    Those eight directions were precisely where the eight god statues were located.


    Rumble!


    The eight god statues actually came to life all at once!


    The eight god statues moved around, each and every one of their postures extremely bizarre.


    Their mouths even emitted strange syllables, like they were chanting.


    Suddenly, the void trembled!


    Limitless golden light shone inside the cave, akin to a blazing sun descending, illuminating every place in the cave as if it was daytime.


    That boundless blood color was completely replaced by golden light in this instant.


    An ancient aura came out of the void.


    The expression of the divine race powerhouse changed abruptly, crying out in surprise, ��Limitless God Killing Bow! This bunch of damn things, not resting even if they are dead! To actually still leave behind such a contingency!��


    Ye Yuan looked above the dome with a face of shock, a golden bow and arrow slowly appeared.


    This bow��s aura was horrifying to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan had seen before a heavenly emperor spirit treasure, but even Heavenly Emperor Ninelives�� Youluo Ghost Lantern paled in comparison to this bow and arrow.


    This aura seemed to be from above the clouds as if it came from Heavenly Dao.


    Dominating myriad things!


    ��Dao artifact! This is a Dao artifact! The blood sea has existed for countless tens of thousands of years. I didn��t expect �� that it was actually still hiding a Dao artifact!��


    Looking at that bow and arrow, Heavenly Emperor Quicksand��s face carried unbelievable shock.


    Right at this time, the golden bow completely revealed its image.


    The entire underground cave started trembling violently.


    Space was twisting, the cave was collapsing.


    The aura of this bow and arrow was seriously too strong!


    The divine race powerhouse seemed to be crazy, laughing loudly as he said, ��Hahaha �� there��s the Limitless God Killing Bow and Sunderless Feather Emperor Arrow! What can you all, this bunch of damn things, do to me? I, Daymeld, will receive an arrow from you head-on!��


    Daymeld��s aura skyrocketed. The Dao marks on his body turned into a huge domain.


    An aura that showed disdain on all under the heavens erupted from his body.


    This horrifying aura was actually able to stand up to the Limitless God Killing Bow above the dome as an equal!


    When Heavenly Emperor Quicksand and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of their faces revealed astonished looks.


    ��What a terrifying aura! His aura is clearly just around Sixth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, but how can he be so strong? Just what kind of race is this divine race? Why have I never heard of it before?��


    Even Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted too!


    Daymeld��s control of Dao marks was absolutely far above Nineorigin��s!


    This guy��s strength was too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan weighed it over. Even if he took Daymeld into his small world and carried out a life-and-death battle with him, he did not have the assurance to finish off the other party either.


    Fortunately, the powerhouse who sealed Daymeld back then left behind a contingency.


    Even if this arrow could not kill Daymeld, it could definitely seriously injure him too!


    While at this time, the Limitless God Killing Bow above the dome was slowly drawn.


    A peerlessly domineering aura surged to the sky, burst right through the cave, and headed straight for the clouds!


    At this moment, the entire Shinra Ghost Region could feel this astonishing aura.


    Outside the cave, starlight sprinkled down.


    Bow arched to the limit like the full moon!


    Only seeing this scene did Ye Yuan know why Daymeld chose to receive it head-on.


    Not that he did not want to run, but that he could not escape!


    This power, even if you run beyond the ninth level, you could not evade this arrow either!


    Daymeld let out an explosive roar as he roared furiously, ��Come!��


    As if hearing Daymeld��s challenge, the Limitless God Killing Bow released an arrow!

 Chapter 2243 - I Don’t Care Who You Are

    ��Bang!��


    The bowstring vibrated. The pale-white arrow that was condensed out of spiritual energy tore through the air.


    Everyone did not even have time to react when they saw the arrow turn into a streak of flowing light, smashing towards Daymeld.


    Rumble!


    In virtually an instant, the entire underground cave directly burst apart.


    The horrifying energy directly lifted the underground cave flying.


    The entire mountain range was leveled to the ground!


    Only then did everything seem to react to it.


    An astonishing loud bang sounded out in the huge pit.


    Space had a long fissure split open by this arrow.


    This arrow was too fast, fast until even space-time did not react to it.


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand and the few mighty Heavenly Emperors had faces that were still suffering from the shock.


    Even if they were supreme and invincible, they were also shocked by this scene just now until they could not close their mouths.


    He looked toward the Ye Yuan beside him and opened his mouth and said, ��L-Little Brother, m-many thanks for your life-saving grace!��


    At the critical moment just now, Ye Yuan urged his spatial node technique and teleported the few of them out.


    Otherwise, the few of them would be dead until not even dregs remained currently.


    Ye Yuan looked at them and said coolly, ��The divine race coming into being one after another. I��m afraid that the Doomsday Battle isn��t far anymore. All the best to you guys.��


    ��Doomsday Battle?��


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand had a blank look, seemingly uncertain what it meant.


    But from this name, one could also tell that this was not some good thing.


    Moreover, this divine race powerhouse��s strength was too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan did not explain what the Doomsday Battle was. He slowly took out the bone sword and walked over toward the enormous pit.


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand��s gaze turned intent, and he said, ��Little Brother, w-what are you trying to do?��


    Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back as he said coolly, ��Going to take back the Silvernet Blood Essence.��


    In the depths of the enormous pit, a figure slowly crawled to his feet, pointed at the sky, and laughed wildly.


    ��The few of you damn things, you think that you can kill this ancestor with a Limitless God Killing Bow? Hahaha �� After this ancestor recovers strength, I��ll definitely trample the Heavenspan World, and let those few little bastards tremble under this ancestor��s feet! Mn?��


    Daymeld was cursing away but saw a figure slowly walk over, and he could not help turning his head to look.


    This person was none other than precisely Ye Yuan.


    His two eyes narrowed and he said with a cold smile, ��Human whelping, you think that this ancestor suffering heavy wounds, you��ll have an opportunity to take advantage of?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Hand over the Silvernet Blood Essence and I��ll make it painless.��


    Daymeld laughed from extreme fury. Looking at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool, he said disdainfully, ��Back then, even eight Deva Fourth Blight and above human old farts couldn��t kill this ancestor and could only seal this ancestor here! Now, just the likes of you, a whelping still wet behind your ears, also dares threaten this ancestor?��


    Far away, when Heavenly Emperor Quicksand and the rest heard this, their minds shook wildly.


    Only then did they know how terrifying this existence before their eyes was!


    ��Eight Deva Fourth Blight and above powerhouses! How strong is this guy��s strength?��


    ��Deva Realm powerhouses, each one can move mountains and fill the seas. They are peak powerhouses that can turn the galaxy upside down! He �� He can actually fight one-on-eight?��


    ��Just what kind of existence is suppressed in this blood sea?! Why isn��t that human running for his life at once? Why does he still want Silvernet Blood Essence at this time?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I don��t care who you are! Hand the Silvernet Blood Essence over!��


    Everyone was rendered collectively speechless. Could this boy be a fool?


    Or was it that he did not know what Deva Fourth Blight signified?


    Rather, it was the Heavenly Emperor Ninelives who was far away, when looking at Ye Yuan, his gazes glimmered.


    That arrow previously extinguished another one of his lives.


    Relying on the Youluo Ghost Lantern, he rebirthed again. But he was only a peak Empyrean now.


    During this trip, he did not gain anything but lost two lives, he really had nowhere to go even if he had an urge to cry.


    But he still had some confidence in Ye Yuan.


    He could feel that the Silvernet Blood Essence was very important to Ye Yuan.


    He was even more aware that Ye Yuan was too monstrous!


    He really wanted to see, between the ancient period supreme powerhouse and Ye Yuan, who was stronger and who was weaker!


    ��Hahaha �� Interesting! Very interesting! I already don��t know how long it has been since anyone dared to utter this kind of words in front of this ancestor! If I don��t give it to you?�� Daymeld said with a look of amusement.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly disappeared. The next instant, he already appeared in front of Daymeld.


    Attacking at a word of disagreement!


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s sneak attack, Daymeld��s face revealed a look of disdain.


    An ant like Ye Yuan, he did not take him seriously at all, even if his current realm already fell to the late-stage Empyrean Realm.


    But the next moment, his expression changed.


    An astonishing power erupted around him!


    In an instant, countless sword lights enveloped him.


    Rumble!


    Without the slightest surprise, Daymeld��s figure flew out backward and smashed out a human-shaped hole in the huge pit again.


    Ye Yuan did not stop, figure moving, directly rushing into the large pit.


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Underground, intense rumbling sounds came from time to time, making everyone who heard them feel frightened.


    The two people fought from underground to the surface and fought from the surface to the sky again.


    That horrifying aura made everyone��s complexion turn ashen.


    Ye Yuan gained the advantage with a move, each move aiming for the vitals, pressuring until Daymeld could not catch his breath at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand and the rest watched until their breathing was ragged.


    ��Is �� Is this boy really just a Sixth Firmament Empyrean? This attack, even a Ninth Firmament Empyrean will also find it hard to block, right?�� Heavenly Emperor Quicksand said with alarm.


    ��When did such a monster appear in the human race? His spatial law is already almost reaching rank seven, right?��


    ��No wonder he dares to be so arrogant, having no respect for that divine race powerhouse! However, that divine race powerhouse isn��t an ordinary person. He probably hasn��t brought out his true strength yet, right?��


    �� ��


    This degree of battle already far exceeded the scope of cultivation realm.


    Cultivation realm already completely did not have a reference point anymore.


    These two people were both existences who brute force jumped realms to battle.


    Putting aside Daymeld, he was an existence that even eight Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses were unable to shake.


    Disregarding that he only had roughly the strength of a Seventh Firmament Empyrean, even if he was only a Fifth Firmament Empyrean, probably even peak Empyrean powerhouses were not a match for him at all too.


    But Ye Yuan��s strength exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    The cultivation realm that he displayed was only Sixth Firmament Empyrean.


    But, the thickness of his divine essence, the profoundness of his laws, the fearsomeness of his combat strength, took everyone��s breath away in wonder.


    With the strength that Ye Yuan displayed, cutting down Ninth Firmament Empyreans was similarly nothing difficult!


    These two people could be said to be evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper-hand.


    Ye Yuan was taking advantage in one move, pressing on relentlessly with every step, not giving Daymeld any chance to catch his breath at all.


    Rumble!


    With another sword move, Ye Yuan directly slammed Daymeld under the ground.


    Then he chased after again with a flash.


    But right at this time, a streak of blue light shot out from underground with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan was caught by surprise, mustering his strength and chopping out with a sword.


    Rumble!


    The bone sword in Ye Yuan��s hand turned into a pile of powder under the attack of the Dao marks!


    Everyone watched until they felt terror, this empyrean spirit treasure was shattered just like that!


    Daymeld slowly crawled out from underground, looking at Ye Yuan. His expression was cold.


    ��Brat, looks like you really weren��t bragging! Your strength is indeed a great deal stronger than our divine sons! I truly didn��t expect that the human race actually produced a genius like you!��

 Chapter 2244 - I Have a Sword, Do You Dare Receive?

    ��However �� now that your sword is gone, what will you use to fight with me?�� Daymeld looked at Ye Yuan with a grin on his face.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation method coupled with sword intent fused with spatial law, the power was hair-raisingly strong.


    This kind of combat strength could virtually use heaven-defying to describe.


    Therefore, Daymeld also had to ruin Ye Yuan��s sword at the risk of suffering a great loss in strength.


    A swordsman without a sword, how could he talk about fighting?


    The bone sword was indeed an extremely important thing to Ye Yuan.


    Ever since the Ancient God Battlefield battle, Ye Yuan��s primary sword had always been the bone sword.


    This bone sword was a legacy. Ye Yuan used it very smoothly.


    This shattering earlier indeed had a tremendous impact on Ye Yuan, it was like he lost something in his heart.


    But during that moment, a trace of understanding was produced in Ye Yuan��s heart!


    He seemed to have grasped something.


    Ye Yuan was like an ancient well without ripples. He just said coolly, ��Swordless! I��ll use my fists then!��


    Swoosh!


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan��s vital energy billowed to the sky. An astonishing true dragon pressure instantly dispersed between heaven and earth.


    Divine Dragon Trampling Heaven!


    Grand Universe Palm!


    Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand!


    Each of Ye Yuan��s punches was faster than the last. The entire sky was filled with his fist images everywhere.


    That horrifying pressure made the group of Heavenly Emperors stare wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    Earlier, they even thought that Ye Yuan without his sword would be equivalent to a tiger without its teeth.


    But now, they discovered that Ye Yuan actually became an enormous dragon without his sword!


    A dragon��s might was unstoppable!


    Under the fist images, Daymeld practically wanted to vomit blood.


    Twice, he lost both the initiative. Yet Ye Yuan��s combat strength was fearsome to the extreme. It went even far beyond their divine race��s.


    Being pressured by Ye Yuan, he did not have the chance to retaliate at all, and could only defend passively.


    Concerning Limitless God Killing Bow��s arrow earlier, even though he fended it off, his injuries were critical to the extreme.


    Otherwise, what did it have to do with Ye Yuan anymore?


    Yet, Ye Yuan��s unreasonable fighting method made him not have the strength to fight back at all.


    ��This boy, his fleshly body actually reached the realm of perfection! How can such a monster appear in the human race?��


    Each punch stronger than the last, each fist heavier than the last.


    Ye Yuan��s imposing aura was also in the midst of continuously rising.


    He currently only had one thought. It was to kill Daymeld and take the Silvernet Blood Essence!


    He could not afford to drag it on!


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!��


    Ye Yuan strode out, as if the spirit of a true dragon suddenly stepped out of the void.


    This divine ability, Ye Yuan raised his aura to the limits. Its power was unimaginable.


    With a step, space shattered. Dao marks on Daymeld��s body glimmered, desperately trying to withstand this move.


    But he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward. He was smashed into the chasm once more.


    Ye Yuan stood in the air, akin to a celestial deity descending upon the mortal world.


    Even those Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were also dumbstruck with amazement.


    They had seen before Daymeld��s power. That kind of might simply made heaven and earth tremble.


    Even the Limitless God Killing Bow, that kind of horrifying attack, was still blocked by him.


    But he was actually without the slightest strength to fight back in front of Ye Yuan.


    This scene seriously exceeded their expectations.


    However, the might of the divine race far exceeded everyone��s imagination.


    Daymeld flew out stubbornly once more.


    If it were an ordinary peak Empyrean powerhouse, suffering this terrifying attack, they would have long turned to ashes.


    It was just that, the current Daymeld no longer had the unparalleled invincible might from before. He was clothed in ragged clothes, his aura seemingly feeble.


    He looked at Ye Yuan coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��Fine lad, I underestimated you! I didn��t expect that you actually still have the dragon race��s bloodline! This move, Heretic Dragon Dominating Space, I really haven��t seen it for a long time!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��You know this move?��


    Daymeld said with a cold smile, ��More than just know! You probably don��t know, but the last Dragon Ancestor died under this ancestor��s hands! Heh, you might not be aware of what kind of existence the Dragon Ancestor was. He was an existence that could be mentioned in the same breath with Dao Ancestors! Although he was not as strong, he wasn��t far off!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, killing intent immediately surfacing.


    His impression of the dragon race was not very good, but his abilities, half of it came from the dragon race.


    This bloodline origin, he could not avoid it.


    But even more was still shock!


    In this world, was there really an existence that could be mentioned in the same breath with Dao Ancestors?


    In Daymeld��s eyes, he did not seem to care about Dao Ancestors at all.


    Could it be that his strength at his prime could even defeat Dao Ancestors?


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    In his understanding, Dao Ancestors were invincible existences. They were paramount existences.


    But along with his realm getting higher and higher, Ye Yuan gradually realized that it did not seem to be the case!


    It was true that Dao Ancestors were invincible, but those existences who surpassed Heavenly Emperors seemed to similarly be incomparably powerful!


    Daymeld��s one sentence was earth-shattering!


    The ones who were shocked were not just Ye Yuan. Even those Heavenly Emperor powerhouses who heard this were in shock.


    Only Heavenly Emperor Quicksand��s gaze glimmered, seemingly knowing something.


    Daymeld seemed to have seen through Ye Yuan��s misgivings and said with a cold smile, ��Are you very surprised? How can Dao Ancestors die? How can someone be placed on par with Dao Ancestors? This ancestor can tell you. Dao Ancestors �� There are strong and weak ones! If not for you humans being despicable and shameless, bullying with numbers, how could my divine race be suppressed for an epoch?��


    Ye Yuan trembled all over, his gaze revealing astounded looks.


    Daymeld laughed loudly and said, ��Of course, you have no need to know about these! Because, since this ancestor ran into this generation��s dragon ancestor in-advance, then �� there won��t be a dragon ancestor in this era anymore! Two generations of dragon ancestors dying under my hands, truly invigorating! Invigorating! Hahaha �� after the Doomsday Battle this time, my divine race will descend upon the Heavenspan World!��


    Rumble!


    His voice had yet to fade when a horrifying aura erupted once more.


    The power of Heavenly Dao suddenly descended.


    The Heavenly Emperors present all changed expressions.


    Reaching Daymeld��s level, every movement and action was within the scope of the Dao.


    The power was simply unimaginable.


    He was being attacked crazily by Ye Yuan previously and did not have time to maneuver Heavenly Dao at all.


    But this time, he was different!


    He said so much in order to confuse Ye Yuan��s mind, to accumulate and create time for himself.


    Ye Yuan��s spatial law was too formidable, his movement technique being swift as lightning.


    That kind of attack that did not take any breathers made him unable to retaliate at all.


    If his realm was higher, then forget it. Yet, his injuries were currently incomparably severe. The strength that he unleashed was less than one-ten-thousandth in normal situation.


    Under such circumstances, he was unable to complete the accumulation of strength at all.


    Ye Yuan clearly eyed this point, that was why he rendered him incapable of fighting back with attacks that blotted out the heaven and covered the earth.


    It was just a pity that this boy was still a little too inexperienced.


    ��Hahaha �� This ancestor descending upon the world anew, all you human, demon, fiend, and various races, just wait and tremble! Boy, try out this ancestor��s move! Heavenly Dao Cang Huang!��


    Daymeld laughed wildly, his gaze full of contempt.


    How could his realm be what this kind of crawling bug could imagine?


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Daymeld, and said coolly, ��Aren��t �� you thinking too much? You could accumulate strength just because I let you accumulate strength and not your scheme prevailing! Thanks to you, this Ye just comprehended it. I have a sword move. Do you dare to receive it?��

 Chapter 2245 - Sword, Come!

    Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body changed.


    Between heaven and earth, a mysterious and profound airflow was slowly flowing.


    This air current got stronger and stronger, and increasingly intense.


    The long robe on Ye Yuan��s body moved on its own without wind.


    ��Mn? My sword!��


    ��What��s wrong with my sword?��


    ��My sword too!��


    �� ��


    Even further away, those powerhouses who had already escaped Asura Blood Sea in advance detected one after another that the swords on their bodies were vibrating!


    Even those being kept in their storage space, their swords were roaring without ceasing too, practically breaking out of its shell!


    Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky and actually seemed to have immortal qi swirling around him.


    The current Ye Yuan stood proudly, his disposition being indifferent, having the air of a grandmaster of his generation.


    This was not him pretending to be profound, but his casual indifference after comprehending Dao.


    The instant the bone sword shattered, Ye Yuan felt his heart being affected.


    Between the furious attacks, he actually spent more effort on comprehending Dao!


    Alchemy Dao and Sword Dao, even the laws such as spatial law, time law, and others that Ye Yuan comprehended, there were many and extremely varied.


    But in martial arts, Ye Yuan��s most fundamental strength was still Sword Dao


    His spatial law was displayed to the extreme because of Sword Dao. That was how he drew parallels from inference and comprehended.


    Sword Dao was Ye Yuan��s most fundamental comprehension.


    Thinking about back then, Ye Yuan comprehended the sword amidst the rain of sacred cherry blossoms, and he created Falling Flower Floating Zero.


    That time was merely playing around, but he could comprehend sword intent easily.


    But ever since cultivating the martial path anew, Ye Yuan was gone with the wind on the path of Sword Dao.


    For so many years, Ye Yuan was used to having a sword accompanying by his side and traveling the world.


    One sword could slay demons and devils!


    One sword could overawe the sun and moon!


    One sword could shatter the firmament!


    However, that instant when the bone sword shattered, he suddenly produced a trace of insight.


    He seemed to be overly reliant on external items.


    If there was a sword in the heart, why was there a need to use the sword?


    The sword was the desire in the chest, why was there a need for other people��s power?


    The extreme of the sword, falling petals and leaves could hurt people, vegetation and rolling pebbles were all swords!


    While Empyrean spirit treasure, Heavenly Emperor spirit treasure, they were able to greatly increase the strength of the person using the sword.


    But the most powerful was not the treasure, but the swordsman themselves!


    ��Sword, come!��


    Ye Yuan reached his hand and beckoned, those swords vibrating in the sword sheaths could not endure it anymore, flying out.


    However, what flew over were not the swords themselves, but a wisp of sword spirit!


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, extracting all the sword spirits within a radius of ten million miles!


    For some time, one streak of sword light after another tore across the sky. It was akin to a meteor showing arriving with a howl.


    That scene was spectacular!


    Those ��meteor showers�� finally converged in Ye Yuan��s hand, condensing into a sword of light!


    Ye Yuan gripped the light sword in his hand, exuding an imposing aura of disdaining all under the heaven that was revealed unnaturally.


    Daymeld��s pupils constricted, expression changing wildly as he cried out in surprise, ��This boy actually directly comprehended the source of Sword Dao! It �� It was me who shattered his Empyrean spirit treasure! That��s how it let him gain enlightenment on Dao?��


    At this very moment, Daymeld felt extremely conflicted.


    An Empyrean spirit treasure exchanging for comprehending the source of Sword Dao, this sort of thing was simply preposterous.


    However, this was single-handedly facilitated by him.


    He was just shocked in his heart, Ye Yuan��s comprehension ability was a little too terrifying.


    He was actually comprehending Dao while fighting earlier!


    How could Daymeld know that this was just a normal state for Ye Yuan?


    He always comprehended Dao while fighting inside the Death Cultivation Space.


    Because only that way could he walk out of the Death Cultivation Space!


    In the course of time, being distracted with comprehending Dao in a fight was nothing much to Ye Yuan anymore.


    ��Myriad things in the world could be used as a sword, myriad swords in the world heeding orders! This �� This is already prying straight at the source of Sword Dao!��


    ��Just what is this brat��s head made out of? He directly leapfrogged Eighth Firmament Sword Dao and comprehended the source of Sword Dao? That��s something that can only be comprehended by Deva Realm powerhouses!��


    ��Freak! Simply a freak! The laws that this brat comprehended are virtually all of the world��s strongest! No wonder he doesn��t even take the divine race seriously! I just don��t know just who is stronger or weaker between him and this divine race ancestor!��


    �� ��


    These Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were all shocked until it could not be greater.


    The might of the divine race, they already felt it deeply.


    But Ye Yuan��s monstrous comprehension ability made them even more appalled.


    But at this very moment, they naturally hoped that Ye Yuan could win!


    After all, this divine race ancestor did not have friendly intentions.


    If the divine race ancestor won, they would all have to die.


    Suddenly, Daymeld��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��So what if Sword Dao source? What this ancestor represents is Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao is for my use. What does mere Sword Dao source count for? Heavenly Dao Cang Huang, exterminate for me!��


    On Daymeld��s body, horrifying Dao mark undulations aroused the descend of Heavenly Dao.


    That horrifying pressure made heaven and earth trembled.


    At this time, whatever cultivation realm, whatever power of laws, was simply weak to the max.


    In terms of power, the divine race ancestor completely crushed Ye Yuan.


    After all, he was a terrifying existence on equal footing as Dao Ancestors!


    Being augmented by Heavenly Dao, Daymeld��s move would surely be heaven-shocking.


    Only to see his fingertips circle and was about to point a finger out in a blink of an eye.


    Everyone seemed to have foreseen this terrifying attack.


    However, right at this time, a voice that seemed to come from the edge of the sky suddenly descended!


    ��Immobilize!��


    Everything abruptly stopped!


    Daymeld��s heart shook wildly!


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan��s light sword chopped straight down!


    Swish ��


    That sword energy that slashed apart the firmament made Daymeld��s entire person feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.


    An aura of death hit him head-on.


    He had roamed the world unobstructed for God knows how many hundreds of millions of years. There were virtually no existences that could pose a threat to him.


    Even when besieged by eight great Deva Realm experts back then, he had never felt so close to death before too.


    One sword landing, a long rift was torn open in space.


    At the critical juncture, how could Daymeld still dare to hold anything back?


    His whole body��s Dao marks surged, breaking free of the fetters of Heavenly Dao true word in that instant.


    Quicker than words could tell!


    Ye Yuan knew that Time Freeze was unable to imprison Daymeld for too long. But he only needed that split second and it was enough!


    Puchi!


    Daymeld shifted sideways slightly, evading this certain-kill sword.


    But he ultimately failed to evade it completely.


    Daymeld��s left arm was directly chopped off by this sword.


    The berserk sword energy flew past, directly annihilating his left arm.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly very dissatisfied with this result.


    ��Looks like I still underestimated you! However, if one sword can��t do it, another sword then!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, raising the light sword once more, and was about to chop down.


    Daymeld��s pupils constricted and he threw a silver thing towards the huge pit with a swoosh, roaring wildly, ��Take the Silvernet Blood Essence that you want!��


    At the same time he threw out the Silvernet Blood Essence. Daymeld��s figure shot toward the distance explosively. He actually fled with his tail between his legs.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, taking a stride out, speeding toward the Silvernet Blood Essence and grabbing it in his hand.


    While Daymeld already made use of this interval and made his get-away.


    Ye Yuan grabbed the Silvernet Blood Essence in his hand, urging array formations to seal it, and right away he felt that his whole body was exhausted.


    He smiled bitterly and said, ��Lucky that guy got scared. How could I still have the strength to deal him another slash?��

 Chapter 2246 - Deva Five Blights!

    Got to admit, Daymeld��s strength was too formidable.


    Up to this day, he was the most powerful existence that Ye Yuan had encountered.


    Even if he was at the same realm, the Time Freeze drained his vital energy to cast, yet it merely froze the opponent for a split second only.


    As for the light sword slash, Ye Yuan even practically depleted his divine essence.


    Ye Yuan��s all-out strike was still unable to cut him down.


    One had to know, this was the prerequisite of Daymeld being suppressed for an epoch, and he was even seriously wounded by the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    He said that he killed before the Dragon Ancestor. Ye Yuan did not know if it was real or fake, but without a doubt, he was extremely powerful!


    But this sword of Ye Yuan��s already damaged Daymeld��s foundation. He probably could not come out to wreak havoc within a short time.


    Ye Yuan swallowed a few more medicinal pills and started recovering his divine essence and vital energy.


    There were many powerhouses around. Ye Yuan did not care to be careless.


    While right at this time, three figures flew across the air, flying straight for the Limitless God Killing Bow!


    They were Heavenly Emperor powerhouses!


    At this time, there were actually still Heavenly Emperor powerhouses hiding nearby!


    Clearly, they were here harboring the mentality of picking up what slipped away. They did not expect that it was really picked up by them.


    The three great Heavenly Emperors unfolded a crazed battle above the void, fighting until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, divine essence flying everywhere.


    The three people vied with each other, neither willing to give in half a step.


    If anyone freed themselves, the other two would join hands and attack.


    All in all, it was a chaotic battle.


    Everyone retreated far away, fearful of being affected.


    Clearly, these three people were already in a state of madness.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation method revolved quietly and was currently recovering his physical strength rapidly.


    He detected that there were many incomparably powerful auras currently rushing over here.


    Not far away, Heavenly Emperor Quicksand sneered and said, ��A bunch of things who overestimates their own ability, is a Dao artifact also what you guys can encroach upon? Little Friend Ye, this Dao artifact was within easy reach of you earlier. Why didn��t you take it?��


    At this time, Heavenly Emperor Quicksand��s strength also recovered a little and was able to move freely.


    He looked at the Limitless God Killing Bow above the void, his gaze being full of greed and regret.


    Such a precious treasure, how could he not be moved?


    It was just that in his current state, wanting to vie for it was completely not possible.


    But just now, Ye Yuan was clearly the closest to that Dao artifact.


    With Ye Yuan��s movement technique and means, taking away the Limitless God Killing Bow would be akin to taking something out of his pocket. But Ye Yuan actually did not even look at it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The divine bow coming into being, the commotion was too great. Probably even Deva Realm powerhouses will be alarmed. I don��t want to be pursued by the entire world. Moreover, I have an even more important thing to do.��


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand felt surprised. He discovered that Ye Yuan really paid no attention to this Limitless God Killing Bow.


    Not only this young man had formidable strength and his comprehension ability was extremely high, but his mind was also exceedingly terrifying too.


    Even an old monster like him found it hard to control himself when he saw the Limitless God Killing Bow, and yet Ye Yuan could actually remain aloof and indifferent.


    Pausing for a bit, Ye Yuan continued, ��Oh, right. Senior Quicksand, this Ye has something to ask for advice.��


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand was grateful for Ye Yuan��s life-saving grace and hurriedly said, ��Dare not talk about giving advice. Whatever Little Friend Ye has, just ask away.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��According to what I know, above Heavenly Emperor is Dao Ancestor. That Daymeld talked about Deva Fourth Bligh powerhouses What was it all about?��


    Ye Yuan��s understanding of cultivation realms mostly came from Dustless.


    But Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was merely a peak Empyrean, and he did not know about the secrets above Heavenly Emperor at all. There was naturally no way of mentioning Deva Realm too.


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand was a late-stage Heavenly Emperor supreme powerhouse. So he was bound to know some secrets.


    ��It��s also normal that Little Friend Ye doesn��t know. Deva Realm powerhouses, those are all figures high above the clouds, this Heavenspan World��s true hegemons! Even though Heavenly Emperors have long lifespans, it will be exhausted one day. Ordinary Heavenly Emperors, if they die, they die. But after one��s strength reaches Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor, every trillion years, they will experience a blight tribulation! There are a total of five blight tribulations, going by Deva Five Blights. Each blight tribulation will be a life-and-death trial. Countless Heavenly Emperors have died during the blight tribulations. However, once a blight tribulation is weathered through, it will be a nirvanic rebirth, and one will glimpse a portion of Heavenly Dao source, their strength greatly improving from there. This realm is Deva Realm!�� Heavenly Emperor Quicksand explained.


    Ye Yuan felt enlightened when he heard that, only then, knowing what was Deva Realm.


    It turned out that there was actually still such a realm between Heavenly Emperor and Dao Ancestor.


    This realm was also the Transcendent Heavenly Emperor that Dustless talked about in the past.


    It was just that with Dustless��s level, he could not come into contact with such existences yet. That was why there was a misunderstanding.


    Even though Heavenly Emperors were unable to become Dao Ancestors, they could glimpse the source of Heavenly Dao through the Deva blight tribulations, reaching the level of ��Dao�� from there.


    He also finally understood why Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses would be called supreme powerhouses.


    It was because they had to face the baptism of the Deva blight tribulations at any time.


    ��Then how strong are Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses? Daymeld said that he once slew before a Dao Ancestor-like existence. Could it be that Dao Ancestors aren��t invincible?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Heavenly Emperor Quicksand smiled bitterly and said, ��Forget about Deva Fifth Blight, even Deva First Blight powerhouses are outrageously strong! Once a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor transcends a blight tribulation, it will be sufficient to instantly kill Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses! Of course, Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperors that can transcend the tribulation are one in a million. Without sufficient accumulations, crossing a blight tribulation is equivalent to seeking death. As for how long Deva Fifth Blight is, this emperor really isn��t too clear. Forget about Deva Fifth Blight, even Second Blight, those who can transcend it are also exceedingly few. Those able to reach Third Blight, Fourth Blight, are all this Heavenspan World��s supreme figures!��


    Pausing for a bit, he continued, ��As for Dao Ancestor �� according to what I know, they are indeed stronger than Deva Realm. As for how much stronger, that��s not what I can know. That level of existence isn��t what this emperor can come into contact with at all. But I feel that even if Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses are inferior to Dao Ancestors, they should also be about the same, right?��


    Clearly, Heavenly Emperor Quicksand could not come into contact with the truly formidable existences yet.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered incessantly. Only at this point did he truly seem to understand the Heavenspan World.


    But that Daymeld��s strength was really formidable to the extreme.


    Eight Deva Fourth Blight and above powerhouses were actually unable to kill him and could only suppress him here.


    This guy��s strength might really not lose to Dao Ancestors.


    It seemed like wanting to know these secrets, he could only go and ask Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Only that level of powerhouse would know such secrets.


    ��So that��s how it is. Many thanks, Senior Quicksand! This Ye has other important matters and will take my leave here!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s figure swept past, finding Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade in the crowd that was surrounding and watching.


    ��Hahaha �� this Dao artifact is this emperor��s!��


    Coincidentally at this time, among the three great Heavenly Emperors, there was finally someone who shook off the other two and grabbed hold of the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    However, just as he was laughing wildly, the Limitless God Killing Bow erupted with rays of brilliant light.


    An arrow flashed past, that Heavenly Emperor directly exploded, turning into nothingness.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he could not help shaking his head.


    These Heavenly Emperors had lived to a ripe old age, but they could not gauge how much ability they had.


    How could this level of treasure be what they could encroach upon?


    ��Go!�� Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade and left.


    Not long after he left, several dozen powerful to the extreme auras arrived with a whistle.


    Each person��s aura was above Heavenly Emperor Quicksand!

 Chapter 2247 - There Would Be No Stories Without Coincidences!

    Ye Yuan brought Wild Blade away and looked for a hidden place. He laid down compact array formations and started his closed-seclusion.


    His mind stirred. A gray bead emerged and suspended in the air. It was precisely the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    It was just that the current Soul Suppressing Pearl had cracks on it, broken and damaged, virtually about to fall apart.


    Ye Yuan took out the Silvernet Blood Essence and placed the Soul Suppressing Pearl on it, absorbing the Silvernet Blood Essence��s vital essence.


    This piece of Silvernet Blood Essence had its intelligence unlocked by Daymeld, had absorbed no idea how many soul bodies�� power, and was already strengthened to the extreme.


    Allowing it to carry on cultivating, this primordial spirit would be breaking through to Heavenly Emperor Realm very soon.


    One could say that it was a king among Silvernet Blood Essences.


    Ye Yuan controlled the Silvernet Blood Essence carefully, restoring the Soul Suppressing Pearl. In a blink, it was half a month��s time.


    The cracks on the Soul Suppressing Pearl were repaired bit by bit. The originally dim and dull Soul Suppressing Pearl finally recovered a trace of life.


    Right then, a phantom slowly appeared in front of Ye Yuan. It was precisely Dustless!


    Seeing Dustless waking up, Ye Yuan finally let out a long sigh in relief.


    ��Senior, you finally woke up! Ye Yuan was wilful and acted recklessly, and got you involved.�� Ye Yuan said with remorse.


    He would never regret it when he did things.


    It was just that Dustless only became like this for the sake of protecting him. He naturally could not help feeling somewhat upset in his heart.


    Dustless smiled and said, ��Silly lad, is there still a need to be so courteous between you and me? This old man is an artifact spirit to begin with. When the ruler worries, the subjects feel insulted; when the ruler is insulted, the subjects die! Saving you is something within this old man��s duties! It��s just that �� that girl��s situation isn��t too good!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, expression crestfallen.


    With his present realm, he could naturally discern Mu Lingxue��s situation.


    Mu Lingxue��s final trace of spiritual consciousness was already akin to a candle��s flame flickering in the wind. It was possible to extinguish at any time.


    ��I plan on going to the Priest Temple to find Sacred Ancestor High Priest. His strength is exceedingly formidable. Maybe he has some way to save Lingxue. If it still can��t work �� then there��s only going up the Heavenspan Mountain!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Going up the Heavenspan Mountain, the hope was extremely bleak.


    This kind of divine medicine was hidden above the firmament of a million years.


    Ye Yuan was not belittling his own capability, but with his present strength, wanting to climb to the level of Dao Ancestor, the likelihood was virtually zero.


    And this was also the final method.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan��s cultivation speed was fast enough. The Soul Suppressing Pearl was recovering continuously and Dustless��s strength was becoming stronger without ceasing, that was how Mu Lingxue lasted until today.


    Otherwise, Mu Lingxue��s soul would have long dissipated.


    Dustless nodded and said, ��Sacred Ancestor High Priest is a major power, an existence second only to Medicine Ancestor. If he��s willing to take action, there might really be hope.��


    He had followed Ye Yuan all over the world. His knowledge of things had also become much more extensive.


    In the past, following Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, even if he had an outstanding talent, Sacred Ancestor High Priest was an existence that he could not come into contact with.


    But Ye Yuan only used roughly 2000 years and did something that Immortal Grove could not do his whole life.


    Although Dustless did not know about Deva Five Blights, he also knew that Sacred Ancestor High Priest was an existence above Heavenly Emperor, his means being immensely formidable.


    Clearly, he had much more extensive experience than him, this soul body.


    After Dustless waking up, he took the initiative to control the Soul Suppressing Pearl. The speed of absorbing the Silvernet Blood Essence sped up several times.


    This Silvernet Blood Essence��s quality was extremely high. It was a great tonic to Dustless and the Soul Suppressing Pearl.


    Within three days, not only did the Soul Suppressing Pearl recover as good as new, it even improved a rank, becoming a middle-rank heavenly emperor spirit treasure. This made Dustless and Ye Yuan wild with ecstasy.


    The stronger Dustless got, the more stable suppressing Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness naturally was.


    Done with all these, only then, did Ye Yuan��s heart calm down slightly. Dispelling the array formations, he brought Wild Blade out of the cave.


    But the moment he came out, Ye Yuan could not help staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    Far away, space shattered. There were berserk spatial turbulent flows everywhere.


    Straining his eyes and looking into the distance, how was there still any mountain range? How was there still any Asura Blood Pool?


    The space of several tens of millions of miles was directly fought until it shattered!


    However, the Heavenspan World��s space was extremely stable. It was in the midst of slowly recovering.


    Ye Yuan could not help linking it to those powerful energies when he left and had a clearer understanding of Deva Realm powerhouses again.


    The Heaven Shocking Lightning that he threw out back then, it was at least an attack left behind by a late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    Even middle-stage Heavenly Emperors did not have such horrifying power too.


    As for Deva Realm, they even directly fought until space shattered, mountains moving and seas being leveled.


    ��No wonder it��s said that the Doomsday Battle, if Deva Realm powerhouses all take action, that��s virtually destroying heaven and decimating the earth! The entire Heavenspan World will probably be broken apart by them too. It would be weird if this world wasn��t destroyed!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    Dustless nodded and said, ��The Ancient God Battlefield is probably the shattered ancient battlefield! There, countless Heavenly Emperors and Empyreans fell, it��s indeed terrifying! The might of Deva Realm powerhouses is unimaginable!��


    He learned of Deva Realm��s existence from Ye Yuan earlier. Only then did he know that there was heaven beyond heaven.


    Now that the divine race was about to come into being, this world would probably not know peace again.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth moved mutely twice, and he said with lingering fear, ��Luckily ran far enough, if it was too near. I��m afraid we��d have directly been obliterated by these guys!��


    The array formation that Ye Yuan laid down was completely unable to withstand a single blow in front of Deva Realm.


    At that time, he was in closed-seclusion. A stray bullet being fired over and he would have evaporated.


    His voice had yet to fade when a streak of flowing light landed from the horizon, landed right in the woods, smashing until the entire stretch of mountain range trembled.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered slightly, thinking in his heart that it would not be so coincidental, right?


    Running over to take a look, a large pit was already smashed out in the ground.


    Inside the large pit, a figure was lying there, his aura extremely weak.


    His hand was even grabbing a bow!


    A golden bow!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent and he could not help drawing a cold breath.


    That golden bow, what was it if not the Limitless God Killing Bow?


    He was speculating just now, to be able to render the Asura Blood Pool until like this, it must have experienced an extremely horrifying great battle.


    Most likely, the supreme Heavenly Emperors who perished were not even in small numbers.


    In fact, there were even Deva Realm super powerhouses that took action!


    Then, it was absolutely impossible for the hostilities to calm down so quickly.


    That person who fell wouldn��t have escaped from the battlefield, right?


    With one look, it was really the case.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that this person actually snatched away the Limitless God Killing Bow from the hands of numerous powerhouses!


    Very clearly, he was being pursued by people until here!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan was filled with fear.


    He rushed forward with a lunge, grabbed that person, and did a teleport.


    Following that, Ye Yuan��s fingers pointed repeatedly, laying down an extremely complex array formation on every side.


    ��Hundred Schools of Thoughts Nine Profound Heaven Subduing Grand Array, conceal!��


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry, the formation formed!


    In the woods, Ye Yuan and the surrounding scenery became a unified entity, concealing all auras.


    Looking from the outside, one could not see through the slightest abnormality at all.


    Ye Yuan had just finished doing all these when a gray-robed man descended from the sky, and he landed at the edge of the huge pit.


    He looked at the giant pit, his gaze seemingly somber to the extreme!


    ��This huge pit was clearly just formed, but the person is actually gone! Heh, there��s actually someone who dares kill-steal this emperor. This Heavenly Emperor wants to see where you can hide!��


    Done talking, the gray-robed man rose into the air and fired out one terrifying attack after another towards the surrounding woods.


    In a breath, the entire forest was reduced to shambles!

 Chapter 2248 - Sword Energy Healing Wounds!

    Countless birds and beasts turned to ashes under the dreadful attacks.


    Far away, there was pandemonium.


    The fierce beasts were clearly frightened until they wet themselves, all fleeing like they went crazy.


    The gray-robed man frowned slightly. Spreading out his divine sense, he swept over every inch of earth.


    Deva Realm powerhouse, how powerful was his divine sense?


    Even if it was a tiny worm, it could forget about escaping his probing too.


    He slowly flew forward, divine sense like radar, scanning over whole stretches, not leaving out a trace.


    In the array formation, Ye Yuan even held his breathing, not daring to let out the slightest trace of movement.


    Fortunately, the Limitless God Killing Bow��s aura was already mostly sealed by this person. Otherwise, even if he had the ability to connect to the heavens, he could not hide its aura too.


    Feeling the earth quaked and mountains swayed, Ye Yuan felt slightly surprised in his heart.


    The strike of a Deva Realm powerhouse was too terrifying!


    His teleport was probably several hundreds of thousands of miles, but he could still feel the other party��s attack.


    Very soon, an extremely strong aura came close from afar.


    Ye Yuan��s heart pounded heavily. He did not know whether or not his array formation could hide from a Deva Realm��s probing.


    His array formation already glimpsed right at the source, his attainments exceedingly high.


    Even if a Heavenly Emperor came, he did not fear either.


    But, Deva Realm, this realm, was completely unknown to him.


    A peerlessly tyrannical divine sense swept across the land. Ye Yuan��s heart leaped to his throat.


    Fortunately, when this divine sense swept past, it did not discover his existence, flying over into the distance.


    Ye Yuan��s heart finally landed back in place.


    However, Ye Yuan did not dare to lower his guard and did not pull back the array formation immediately.


    Sure enough, another powerful divine sense descended once more, sweeping across.


    Only then did Ye Yuan discover that there were two Deva Realm powerhouses searching for this man in white.


    The following three days, these two people took turns to search in this vicinity, over and over again.


    Only all the way until three days later did the two people��s probing disappear.


    Ye Yuan was very careful, hiding an entire day in the array formation before coming out.


    After coming out, Ye Yuan did not dare to stay, bringing that man and directly teleporting away.


    No idea how far they ran either, only when Ye Yuan felt that it was safe did he find a quiet place to land.


    He thought about it, arriving outside a cave with a teleport. He then fired out one restriction after another above the void.


    These restrictions were without form or substance but formed an enormous web within a radius of ten thousand miles.


    These restrictions did not have the effect of harming, but as long as someone touched the restrictions, he would immediately know.


    Deva Realm powerhouses, their strength was too terrifying. Ye Yuan did not wish to die with no clear reason whatsoever.


    Only after bustling around for the greater part of the day did he return to the cave.


    Wild Blade��s expression was ugly as he said, ��Young Master, wouldn��t directly killing this person and taking this Limitless God Killing Bow do? It��s very dangerous for us like this! Those two Deva Realm powerhouses definitely won��t be willing to drop the matter!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I have no grudge or enmity with him. Murdering people and snatching treasure this sort of thing, I can��t do it.��


    Ghost Empyrean Wild Blade had an expression like he saw a ghost. Clearly, he was unable to understand Ye Yuan��s actions.


    In his impression, Ye Yuan was not a benevolent and softhearted person.


    In the Asura Blood Sea, those few Heavenly Emperors who provoked Ye Yuan were all directly finished off by him.


    Why was he showing petty kindness now?


    Ye Yuan knew what Wild Blade was thinking and said coolly, ��For real men, some things are necessary, while other things absolutely mustn��t be done! When you follow me for a long time, you��ll understand. Alright, you go outside and guard, I��ll treat his wounds for him!��


    Wild Blade was helpless and could only guard outside the cave.


    Ye Yuan looked at the man in white clothing and said coolly, ��Stop pretending, these words weren��t said for you to hear.��


    It turned out that this man in white had long already woken up, but he was pretending to be unconscious.


    It was just that how could he hide from Ye Yuan like this?


    The man in white slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of vigilance.


    His hands gripped the Limitless God Killing Bow a little tighter.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��To dare snatch away the Limitless God Killing Bow from the hands of Deva Realms, I have to admire your courage! But even if you snatch it, you also don��t have the life to use it.��


    Hearing Ye Yuan say so, the expression of the man in white could not help turning dim as he said with a sigh, ��I��m about to �� transcend the first blight tribulation right away. <y �� accumulations aren��t enough. W-Without the destiny to suppress, I��ll die without a doubt! W-Why not take the chance then?!��


    The man��s injuries were extremely severe. Saying these words made the expression on his face extremely contorted, his complexion also became a little paler.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched slightly. It seemed like the terrors of Deva blight tribulations were still above his imaginations.


    This man in white was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor but did not even dare to cross the blight tribulation.


    Ye Yuan did not get long-winded. Carefully inspecting his injuries, he was secretly shocked in his heart.


    This person��s injuries were extremely severe. Extremely terrifying Dao accumulations were retained within his body, wrecking his bodily functions continuously.


    Furthermore, even his small world was punched through. His situation rather similar to Ye Yuan��s back then.


    It seemed like he unleashed all of his methods in order to escape.


    However, this person did not have Ye Yuan��s formidable fleshly body and life force.


    At most half a month, he would die without a doubt!


    Furthermore, through this person��s injuries, Ye Yuan could also distinctly feel how strong a Deva Realm��s strength was!


    When his divine essence entered the white-clothing man��s body and came into contact with those remnant Dao accumulations, it was like encountering a terrible monster, directly being washed away.


    That tyrannicalness was seemingly like facing Heavenly Dao.


    Ye Yuan also expended a Herculean effort before figuring out the situation within his body.


    After he was done inspecting, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��There is no hope.��


    The white-clothed man��s expression turned dim and he said with a nod, ��I know! Unless the Medicine Ancestor is here, otherwise �� I��ll die without a doubt. After I die, you �� take away the Limitless God Killing Bow then!��


    His own body, he naturally knew himself. There was simply no way of remedying the situation.


    Forget that Ye Yuan was just a measly little Eight-star, even if he was an Eight-star Alchemy God, he could not treat the injuries left behind by a Deva Realm too.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said disdainfully, ��If the Medicine Ancestor was here, do you think that he��ll save you?��


    The white-clothed man smiled miserably and said, ��The Medicine Ancestor �� is aloof from the masses. Why would he pay attention to the life and death of an ant like me?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��At least you have a bit of understanding of yourself! Relax, with me around, you won��t die! However, I��m temporarily unable to help you restore your cultivation. You��re currently �� just a cripple.��


    The white-clothed man��s gaze turned intent, immediately smiling bitterly and said, ��This Heavenly Emperor is merely someone who��s about to die. You don��t have to console me anymore.��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to waste his breath with him. Forming his fingers as a sword, a tiny pale-yellow long needle appeared at Ye Yuan��s fingertips.


    This long needle was actually condensed with sword energy!


    Ye Yuan moved like lightning, pricking the sword-needle onto the major acupoints all over the body of the man in white.


    The white-clothed man gave a muffled groan, only feeling one stream of sword energy after another being sent into his body, wandering within his body.


    At this moment, he hurt until he could not speak, but he was shocked to the extreme in his heart.


    Sword Dao source!


    This guy was just Empyrean Realm, but he actually comprehended Sword Dao source!


    What was even scarier was that this guy actually treated sword energy as a golden needle to stab the acupoints!


    What kind of terrifying control power did this require?


    Just who �� in the world was this boy?


    Ye Yuan��s fingers pointed, guiding the sword energy to wander within the white-clothed man��s body.


    It was only to see him guide with his sword finger. A powerful force flew out of the wounds.

 Chapter 2249 - Heavenly Eye

    Above the sky of the huge pit, three figures slowly appeared.


    The person in the middle had a sagely appearance, wearing a dark blue daoist robe.


    While the other two people, one of them was precisely that gray-robed man who appeared that night above the huge pit.


    There was another person, but he was a ghost path Heavenly Emperor!


    The old daoist stroked his beard as he said coolly, ��Shui Yuan, Lonesoul, two fellow daoists, you can find this old man to cast spells, but the benefits promised, don��t forget it!��


    The muscles on the face of the gray-robed man, Heavenly Emperor Shui Yuan, twitched, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, rest assured. You��ve already received half of the deposit. Are you still afraid that we��ll renege on the debt?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul also said, ��Old Fart Heavenly Eye, forget that you demanded an exorbitant price! But you must help us find that guy!��


    Heavenly Eye chuckled and said, ��A Dao artifact coming into being, such a precious treasure is too valuable. This old man naturally can��t state a cheap price. As for finding the person, you all rest assured, if I, Heavenly Eye, say that I��m second, there��s absolutely no one who dare to claim that they are number one!��


    Shui Yuan frowned and said, ��Hurry up and start then!��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye nodded slightly, hand-seals moving swiftly, and he gave a cold cry, ��Heavenly eye, open!��


    It was only to see that a third eye actually grew out between his eyebrows.


    The moment this eye appeared, it seemed to see through everything, giving Shui Yuan and Lonesoul two people a hair-raising feeling.


    ��This old fart��s prowess is getting increasingly profound!�� Shui Yuan said in shock.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s gaze swept over the huge pit and could not help shaking his head as he said with a sigh, ��This place has already had all traces obliterated by you! Even if there��s anything, I can��t see it either.��


    Shui Yuan��s expression turned stiff and he said awkwardly, ��At that time, when that guy landed, he smashed a large hole in the ground. I arrived right on his heels, but I couldn��t see him. I guessed that he might have been saved by someone and planned on forcing them out.��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye nodded slightly and said, ��Go to other places and search for a bit then. As long as he leaves behind any clues or inkling, it definitely can��t escape my heavenly eye.��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye brought the two people and searched in the vicinity.


    This search was ten days and ten nights!


    An area with a radius of a million miles was searched several times by the three people, but they did not discover the slightest trace.


    Finally, Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul could not endure anymore and sarcastically, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, didn��t you say that it can��t escape your arcane eyes? Could it be that that guy brought the Dao artifact and evaporated into thin air?��


    Heavenly Eye��s expression was very ugly, the boasting previously had gone overboard.


    These ten days, he expended tremendous effort to search but did not find a trace of clues too.


    Having accepted people��s benefits, he found it embarrassing too.


    ��Mn?�� Suddenly, his gaze turned sharp, and his footsteps stopped.


    Seeing that Heavenly Eye seemed to have discovered something, Shui Yuan and Lonesoul��s minds quivered.


    Heavenly Eye��s gaze landed at a corner of the woods. That place had layer upon layer of mountains, the trees dense, the terrain very complicated.


    ��We��ve searched this area many times before and didn��t discover anything!�� Shui Yuan said.


    Heavenly Eye did not speak. His gaze became more and more serious. His third eye erupted with rays of brilliant light. An aura of source spread out.


    ��Hiss ����


    Heavenly Eye drew a breath of cold air and said solemnly, ��What a crafty fellow! What an ingenious array formation!��


    Shui Yuan two people were uncertain what it meant and said, ��What discovery is there, Daoist Heavenly Eye?��


    ��Follow me!��


    Heavenly Eye brought the two people and landed in the forest. The place that they were standing was precisely Ye Yuan��s land of concealment previously.


    Heavenly Eye walked around the surroundings and exclaimed with admiration, ��No wonder we searched several dozen times and didn��t discover anything, it��s simply superb craftsmanship excelling nature, a marvelous work of art!��


    Lonesoul��s face fell and he said, ��Stop leaving us hanging! Quickly tell us!��


    Heavenly Eye said, ��Someone made use of the environment here and set up a seamless array formation, fusing into one entity with the surrounding environment. The person used the layering of space to conceal their aura! Even if divine sense sweeps past, you all can only sense a forest! The person who laid down the formation is absolutely a formation path expert! With such strength, I��m afraid that he might already be Deva Realm!��


    Shui Yuan two people��s faces changed wildly. It turned out that he was right under their eyelids!


    ��This is impossible! if it��s a Deva Realm formation path powerhouse, why would he hide?�� Shui Yuan said.


    ��This �� ��


    Heavenly Eye could not help choking when he heard that and said, ��This array formation is extremely ingenious. Ordinary rank eight formation gods will find it hard to attain it too. If not for my heavenly eye discovering a trace of spatial undulation aura, I wouldn��t be able to discover it at all! What can he be if not a Deva?��


    Shui Yuan two people could not make up their minds too. After all, being able to hide from their divine sense probing, it was definitely not what ordinary people could do.


    Moreover, they practically dug three feet into the ground in this radius of a million miles!


    ��Heavenly Eye, don��t you have time recall? Hurry up and take a look!�� Lonesoul suddenly said.


    Heavenly Eye nodded slightly, both hands pointing at his eyes as he said, ��Time recall! Heavenly eye, open!��


    His third eye suddenly opened, emitting rays of light. An aura that came from the Great Dao source suddenly descended.


    Then, one scene after another seemed to be rewinding, playing back.


    Suddenly, a young figure flew in reverse and returned. He brought along a ghost empyrean and a man in white clothing by his side.


    ��It��s him!��


    Seeing the man in white, Shui Yuan and Lonesoul cried out in surprise at the same time.


    The scenery faded, the three people exchanged a glance, all seeing the thick shock from the other parties�� eyes.


    ��Empyrean! The one who rescued this guy was actually just an Empyrean! This array formation was actually just set up by an Empyrean!�� Heavenly Eye said in shock.


    Earlier, he actually thought that it was a Deva Realm formation master!


    This disparity �� was too inconceivable.


    Suddenly, Shui Yuan��s gaze turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��A mere Empyrean also dares to pull a tooth from a tiger��s mouth? He��s really tired of living! Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye!��


    Heavenly Eye nodded slightly, since they found the source, then finding the person naturally would not be difficult either.


    Only to see his heavenly eye open, one trail after another quietly unfolded in front of him.


    The three people chased after Ye Yuan��s tracks.


    �� ��


    These few years, the shock in Riverword��s heart great increasingly stronger.


    This measly little Empyrean in front of him actually really forced out the Dao accumulations within his body little by little!


    His injuries were gradually improving.


    Ye Yuan used sword energy golden needles to seal the acupoints in his body shut and isolated the Dao accumulations within his body little by little.


    Then, dividing and attacking, he forced it out of the body bit by bit.


    Talking about it was simple, but that was Dao accumulations, injuries left behind by Deva Realm powerhouses!


    A measly little Empyrean actually forced out the Dao accumulations of Deva Realm powerhouses.


    This kind of thing, even Heavenly Emperors could not do it!


    The shock in Riverword��s heart could be imagined.


    ��Huff �� I finally forced it all out! Deva Realm powerhouses are indeed extraordinary!�� Ye Yuan wiped the sweat on his head and said in surprise.


    The healing this time was the most troublesome one for him up to this date.


    Those Dao accumulations rampaged recklessly within Riverword��s body and were incomparably ferocious.


    Only his source sword energy could accomplish it to this degree.


    Even so, he was also trembling with fear and trepidation, akin to treading on thin ice.


    Many streams of aura ran amuck in the meridians. Furthermore, Ye Yuan could only guide them.


    A slight carelessness and Riverword would directly croak.


    Fortunately, everything was still rather smooth, finally saving this fellow.


    After he was done, Ye Yuan threw him a medicinal pill and said coolly, ��Eat that. It will help with recovering your meridians.��

 Chapter 2250 - Can’t Escape!

    ��Hiss �� A rank seven end spirit divine pill!��


    Riverword could not help drawing a cold breath of air when he received the medicinal pill.


    A rank seven end spirit divine pill, it was still his first time seeing.


    This medicinal pill was too precious!


    ��Little Friend Ye, c-could you be the Medicine Ancestor��s disciple?�� Riverword asked carefully.


    The more he thought, the more he felt that it was possible.


    Ye Yuan actually did not care about the Limitless God Killing Bow at all and was proficient in medicine, and then he took out that end spirit divine pill!


    Young of age and he already reached the Empyrean Realm.


    Apart from the Medicine Ancestor��s disciple, who else had such ability?


    However, he did not think that Ye Yuan had the ability to refine end spirit divine pills. It must have been given by the family��s elders.


    But Ye Yuan was taken aback and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Medicine Ancestor��s disciple? Huhu, he��s probably thinking of how to get rid of me currently, right?��


    It was Riverword��s turn to be stunned this time. These words sounded like it was somewhat angry!


    Not that Riverword was ignorant and ill-informed, but that his level was too high, so he had not heard of Ye Yuan��s name before.


    Moreover, these few years, he had been searching for lucky chances outside to transcend the tribulation all along. He never heard about the Southern Border��s affairs at all.


    Otherwise, anybody else would have long guessed Ye Yuan��s identity.


    ��Not the Medicine Ancestor��s disciple? Then you ���� Riverword said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You can think of me as his future enemy.��


    ��Ask Not�� two words revealed the Medicine Ancestor��s personality.


    Ye Yuan knew that one day in the future, he would surely clash with the Medicine Ancestor.


    The corners of Riverword��s mouth twitched slightly, feeling that Ye Yuan was somewhat boasting.


    The Medicine Ancestor could be said to be a god-like existence in the Heavenspan World.


    His Alchemy Dao was invincible!


    Which genius did not set him as the goal? But in the end, they were all not his match.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was no exception either.


    Riverword laughed dryly twice and said, ��Huhu, many thanks for Little Friend Ye��s life-saving grace.��


    Ye Yuan naturally saw through Riverword��s disbelief, but he also could not be bothered to explain. Right at this time, his expression changed wildly, bringing Riverword and Wild Blade, and teleporting away from the cave.


    �� ��


    Slightly earlier.


    Heavenly Eye three people followed Ye Yuan��s tracks and finally found the place where Ye Yuan was hiding.


    ��Hold on!�� Heavenly Eye suddenly said.


    Shui Yuan two people immediately stopped.


    Heavenly Eye chuckled and said, ��It��s all restrictions everywhere in the void here. As long as you touch it, that boy will know!��


    Shui Yuan said without a care, ��Know then know. A mere Empyrean, can he still run away?��


    Heavenly Eye secretly cursed the fool and said, ��This brat could bring that person away in such a short time and even lay down such an ingenious array formation. Don��t you find it strange?��


    Shui Yuan two people��s hearts thumped. Only then knowing that they were reckless.


    For ordinary Empyreans, it was completely impossible to do so many things within such a short time.


    Unless he had special means!


    ��This �� How did he do it?�� Shui Yuan said.


    Heavenly Eye cursed fool again and said, ��If my conjectures are right, he must be adept in spatial law! From the distance of his teleportation, his spatial law has at least already reached peak rank six!��


    Shui Yuan two people exchanged glances and could not help feeling secretly shocked. This kind of spatial law attainment, one teleport would be several hundreds of thousands of miles.


    With their Deva Realm speed, wanting to catch up would be rather troublesome too.


    ��Fortunately we invited Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye to take action this time. Otherwise, the two of us will really find ourselves at a loss!�� Shui Yuan quietly sent a compliment over.


    Heavenly Eye smiled coldly and said, ��Now, do you all still feel that it��s worth this price or not?��


    The two people each nodded their heads in acknowledgment, being whole-heartedly convinced.


    ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, this time, it��s all thanks to you for taking action.��


    Heavenly Eye looked at the restrictions in front of him and said with a cold smile, ��This kid probably never would have thought that this emperor is a formation path expert too! How can this bit of restrictions stump me?��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s cultivation was all on the three eyes.


    Especially the third eye, it could see through the fabricated, prying right at the source.


    And this advantage of his, cultivating Formation Dao would also yield twice the results with half the effort.


    By relying on Formation Dao and ocular arts, he even cleared the first blight tribulation, achieving Deva Realm!


    Ye Yuan was currently still unaware that Shui Yuan actually invited this major power, and was completely oblivious that danger was currently closing in.


    Heavenly Eye inspected the restrictions carefully and discovered that it was just some simple prompting restrictions, and could not help having a disdainful look.


    It was only to see him move like lightning, pointing one finger out after another. A restriction that Ye Yuan set up fell apart quietly.


    Shui Yuan two people were by the side, exclaiming in wonder again.


    Heavenly Eye was currently being pleased with himself when suddenly, his expression changed wildly.


    In the void, countless restrictions lit up at the same time, akin to a huge continuous row of lights, presenting a splendid sight!


    ��Damn it! This is an interlinked restriction, as long as one is broken, the other restrictions will trigger at the same time! This brat is so scheming!�� Heavenly Eye thumped his chest and stomped his feet.


    Of course, he still had some things that he did not say.


    Ye Yuan��s interlinked restrictions were set up extremely covertly. He did not discover it at all!


    In this aspect, Ye Yuan already beat him.


    Losing to an Empyrean Realm brat, Heavenly Eye naturally felt a loss of face.


    Shui Yuan two people had strange expressions. If they had long known it would be like this, might as well charge straight in.


    Right at this time, there was a subtle undulation in space, making the three people��s faces suddenly change.


    ��Spatial node technique! What a cunning brat, chase!�� Shui Yuan did not say another word, directly shuttling into the void.


    The other two people did not hesitate in the slightest too, chasing right after.


    On the other side, Ye Yuan cast the spatial node technique and instantly escaped a million miles away.


    Taking the preemptive strike, the chances of escaping for his life would greatly increase.


    Ever since deciding to rescue Riverword, he knew that who he would face would be Deva Realm powerhouses, and was naturally also a little more cautious.


    Even though he did not feel that Shui Yuan could find him, he was still extra careful.


    The interlinked array formations outside were perfected by him finding some time these few days.


    In addition, he even flew a million miles away and left behind quite a few spatial nodes, in case of unexpected needs.


    He did not want to be encircled and suppressed by Deva Realm powerhouses.


    He did not expect that it was really put to use.


    This unforeseen turn of events made Riverword stunned.


    Following that was shock.


    This Empyrean Realm brat in front of him, his mind was really hair-raisingly meticulous, actually leaving behind so many contingencies.


    If not for Ye Yuan being incredibly careful, they would already be three dead people now.


    Ye Yuan saved him again.


    ��So fast!��


    Three powerful to the extreme auras arrived from behind with a whistle.


    Three powerful to the extreme divine senses already completely locked onto him!


    There was nowhere to run even if he wanted to anymore.


    Ye Yuan felt the might of Deva Realm powerhouses once again!


    It was still his first time meeting someone who could contend with him in terms of speed.


    Riverword smiled bitterly and said, ��Deva Realm powerhouses already came into contact with Heavenly Dao source. Their comprehension in spatial law is many times stronger than Heavenly Emperors��! Their spatial law might not be as strong as yours, but just in terms of speed, it��s still a notch faster than you! We �� can��t run away anymore!��


    Those that came into contact with the source of Heavenly Dao were all extremely powerful existences.


    Just like Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao source, the might was exceedingly formidable, and could even kill Daymeld that kind of existence!


    Deva Realm��s strength was powerful until it made people despair like that.

 Chapter 2251 - A Slim Chance of Survival!

    Ye Yuan did not follow up, his brain was in the midst of rapidly revolving.


    It seemed like he still underestimated these two Deva Realm powerhouses�� resolve toward the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    The allure of Dao artifacts was too great!


    Men die in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food.


    In order to obtain the Limitless God Killing Bow, Riverword almost threw away even his life.


    And these two Deva Realms clearly would not give up so easily either.


    ��Shui Yuan and Lonesoul definitely found a tracking expert. Furthermore, this tracking expert is very proficient in array formations! To be able to get invited by them, it must be a Deva Realm powerhouse too!�� Ye Yuan analyzed.


    Shui Yuan and Lonesoul, two great Deva Realm powerhouses, their reputation was extremely resounding. It was impossible for Riverword to not know them.


    Ye Yuan also learned of these two people��s names from his mouth.


    Riverword��s face changed and he said with a look of despair, ��Then it��s definitely Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye! His heavenly eye is able to see through all that��s unreal. He is even able to cast time recall! Little Friend Ye, leave me behind and escape for your life by yourself!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��It��s too late! Even if you hand the Limitless God Killing Bow to them, will they let me go? I originally thought that I did it flawlessly. I didn��t expect that there��s still a divine ability like Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s. Looks like it was me who underestimated Deva Realm powerhouses!��


    Riverword heaved a sigh, knowing that what Ye Yuan said was true.


    Ye Yuan already got involved in the muddy waters. It was very hard to get out.


    Even if he handed over the Limitless God Killing Bow, these few Deva Realm powerhouses absolutely would not let Ye Yuan go.


    As for him, he was currently merely a cripple.


    ��Little Friend Ye, it��s me who dragged you down!�� Riverword said with a sigh.


    Even if he was an old monster who had lived for no idea how many years, he felt grateful toward Ye Yuan too.


    If it were others, they would have long killed and snatched the treasure.


    Not only did Ye Yuan not take away the Limitless God Killing Bow, he even treated his wounds.


    He went from the initial vigilance to the current shedding tears of gratitude.


    Unfortunately ��


    ��Senior Riverword, do you know what place has extremely powerful restrictions that even Deva Realm powerhouses are extremely fearful of?�� Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    ��Restrictions?�� Riverword was stunned.


    ��That��s right! This is our only way out!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Fleeing along the way, Ye Yuan ran through all of his trump cards. Only in the path of array formations did he had a lease of life!


    These three people were all Deva Realm powerhouses, their strength significantly stronger than even Nineorigin��s.


    Even if he took them into the chaos world, it would also be impossible for Ye Yuan to have any chances of victory.


    As for whatever Time Freeze, with his current strength, it would cause negligible interference to Deva Realm powerhouses.


    The only path that remained was the Dao of array formations!


    Riverword was an old monster who had lived for a trillion years, his understanding of the Heavenspan World must be a lot more than his, that was why there was this ask.


    Riverword had a strange expression as he said, ��Restrictions that made even Deva Realm powerhouses dread, it will be an even more dangerous place to us!��


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Do you want to die or live?��


    Riverword said, ��Of course I want to live!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Want to live then stop talking nonsense! Is there such a place or not?��


    Riverword said, ��If talking about powerful restrictions, a place that made even Deva Realms dread, then there��s only �� Eight Void Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan clearly had not heard of this name before, saying, ��Eight Void Mountain?��


    Riverword said, ��Eight Void Mountain Range is the junction between the Middle Realms and West Realms, the boundary of two worlds, stretching continuously for a trillion miles! And on its main peak, Eight Void Mountain, there are powerful restrictions everywhere. Legends have it that the Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions were set up by an ancient major power overnight and had once annihilated countless powerhouses before. The restrictions there stretch for 80 million miles, being incomparably massive! But there are indeed many major lucky chances there. Quite a number of people will brave the risk to go there and seek out lucky chances. There is even no lack of Deva Realm powerhouses. And many Deva Realm powerhouses died there.��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was extremely shocked in his heart too.


    Overnight, vast restrictions that spanned 80 million miles were formed. It was simply unimaginable.


    How powerful a Formation Dao master to be able to set it up!


    Ye Yuan��s present Formation Dao strength was absolutely great grandmaster class.


    But even making him set up 8000 miles of restrictions overnight, he would find it extremely difficult to do.


    This was the difference in level!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��Okay, go there! You lead the way!��


    Shinra Ghost Region was in the southwestern lands. They just had to keep on flying in the northeastern direction and they would be able to reach Eight Void Mountain.


    Both sides, one party chased and the other fled. Their speed was swift to the extreme.


    However, both parties�� distance was gradually shrinking.


    In merely half a day��s time, it shrunk from the initial one million miles to only 500 thousand miles currently.


    At this rate, in merely half a day��s time, the three Deva Realm powerhouses would be able to catch up.


    ��Brat, run away! This Deva wants to see how far you can run!�� Behind came Shui Yuan��s smug laughter.


    With the strength of Deva Realm, sending out their voices with divine essence, it was not anything hard to transmit it for several hundred thousand miles.


    Heavenly Eye was still alright, but Shui Yuan and Lonesoul two people had a stomach full of pent-up anger.


    The two of them fought for the Limitless God Killing Bow until the sky and earth dimmed.


    But who knew that a snipe and a clam were locked in a fight, it was only to the advantage of the fisherman. In the end, it was actually snatched away by a Riverword who did not want his life.


    However, just as they were about to catch Riverword, Ye Yuan rescued Riverword.


    The two people did not have any solution, and so they spent a huge price to request Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye to take action.


    With the unexpected turn of events, they finally found the perpetrator now, the two people��s anger could be imagined.


    The two of them wished to tear Ye Yuan apart right now.


    Ye Yuan was not affected at all, still increasing his speed to the limit.


    But Riverword frowned hard and said, ��No way! We can��t last until Eight Void Mountain like this!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Is there any place ahead with irregular space?��


    Riverword��s eyes lit up and he said, ��There is! Go north! With your speed, you��ll reach it in at most half a day!��


    Ye Yuan did not say another word, immediately making a turn and headed north.


    Riverword was secretly shocked, he discovered that Ye Yuan��s mind was too stoic.


    Under such enormous pressure, he could still maintain such calm, it was simply not like what a young man should have.


    He had lived for a trillion years and also felt that he was not as cool as Ye Yuan.


    Currently, both parties were on a flat road, there was not the slightest bit of ripple in space.


    This way, even if Ye Yuan urged his speed to the limit, he would still be unable to shake off the three people.


    But going to an irregular space, Ye Yuan��s spatial law would be able to unleash its greatest effect.


    In irregular space, even though Ye Yuan��s speed would be affected too, the impact on those three people would be greater!


    This way, the advantage of Ye Yuan��s spatial law would be magnified, shaking off the three people from there.


    Originally, this idea should have been thought of by him, this old man. But he had long already lost his cool.


    In an environment where one could not see any hope at all, people who were able to keep their cool were truly very few.


    But Ye Yuan was not affected in the least bit.


    Starting from discovering these three people, Ye Yuan��s mind did not have the least bit of fluctuation, calm until he was like an ice-cold machine!


    Just how on earth did this boy accomplish it?

 Chapter 2252 - Advancing Gradually and Entrenching Himself at Every Step!

    Above the void, several figures flashed away.


    In a short half a day��s time, both parties�� distance already shrunk until there were just a few tens of thousands of miles between them.


    This distance was already barely enough to let Deva Realm powerhouses attack.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s movement technique was too fast. It was very hard for them to lock onto Ye Yuan.


    After attacking, they were bound to be delayed for a while, which would let Ye Yuan slip away.


    Moreover, Shui Yuan and Lonesoul two people were both secretly at loggerheads, neither willing to eat a loss.


    For caution��s sake, Shui Yuan three people did not unleash attacks.


    ��Brat, you can��t escape! Stop now and hand over the Limitless God Killing Bow. This emperor can spare you from death!�� Lonesoul said in a clear voice.


    ��Boy, you have exceptional talent! As long as you hand over the Limitless God Killing Bow, not only will this Deva not kill you, I��ll even take you in as a disciple!�� Shui Yuan was not willing to show weakness and similarly shouted.


    These two people saw that Ye Yuan was young and goaded him with words from time to time.


    But Ye Yuan completely ignored them.


    By the side, Heavenly Eye smiled coldly and did not speak, secretly cursing the two for being fools.


    He had long detected that Ye Yuan was a young man with extremely strong mental capacity and was absolutely not an ordinary person.


    From him hiding from the two people��s eyes and ears, then leaving, then setting up restrictions, as well as the spatial node technique, these were all not what the average young man could think of.


    This young man did not only have outstanding strength, but his mind was also even meticulous to the extreme.


    It was simply a joke for these two people to want to use words to disturb Ye Yuan.


    However, he did not expose it either.


    Either way, Ye Yuan was already a turtle in the jar.


    Sure enough, before long, Ye Yuan��s voice came from in front.


    ��Are the two of your heads kicked by donkeys? Such idiotic games, better don��t play it in front of this young master! If you have the capability, chase after!��


    The moment the two people heard, their faces turned green.


    This kid was too arrogant!


    ��Brat, after this Deva catches you, I��ll definitely let you taste the feeling of a fate worse than death!�� Shui Yuan said furiously.


    Both parties�� distance got closer and closer!


    Over 70 thousand miles!


    60 thousand miles!


    �� ��


    20 thousand miles!


    10 thousand miles!


    At this distance, the two already had sufficient assurance in being able to seriously injury Ye Yuan.


    ��Brat, you��ll die very horribly!�� Lonesoul said with a cold smile.


    Finished talking, the two people virtually made their moves at the same time. A terrifying undulation rippled out above the void.


    But right at this time, the two people��s faces changed.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan disappeared!


    Heavenly Eye��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��Fine lad, truly cunning! This area is an irregular space. In this place, his spatial law is able to unleash its greatest effect! No wonder he suddenly made a detour north! It turns out that this is waiting for us here!��


    Only then did Shui Yuan react to it. His expression was grim to the extreme, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Damn brat, too despicable!��


    Lonesoul said in a cold voice, ��After capturing this brat, this Deva will definitely boil him well!��


    A duck that entered the mouth had flown away, the two of their fury could be imagined.


    With this hold-up, the distance that finally managed to shrink was pulled apart from Ye Yuan once more.


    At this point, they did not have other ways too, and could only toughen their scalps and chase.


    But upon entering irregular space, their speed suddenly fell, and they no longer traveled ten thousand miles in an instant like before anymore.


    To them, it was like driving on a flat road, then suddenly turning into a mountain slope with irregular bumps.


    Irregular space was like a maze. It was very easy for people who did not know spatial law to get lost inside.


    Even if they were Deva Realm powerhouses, their perception of spatial law was still very blurry.


    Their current advancement speed was not even as good as an Empyrean��s advancement speed normally.


    The more they could not catch up to Ye Yuan, the more anxious they got.


    The more anxious, the slower the speed.


    In the end, both parties�� distance pulled further and further apart.


    ��Damn it! Where on earth did this punk pop out from? How can he be so crafty?�� Shui Yuan said in an explosive rage.


    Lonesoul smiled coldly and said, ��Isn��t it still because you��re too dumb?��


    Shui Yuan was greatly enraged when he heard that and said, ��I��m dumb? Heh heh, said it like you��re very smart! Even if you know he��s running this way, what methods do you have?��


    ��Alright, alright, stop arguing! Keep arguing and that punk will be escaping to god knows where! This area of irregular space can��t stop us for long. We��ve already left behind divine sense imprints on his body. Even if he runs to the ends of the world, he can��t escape either! What I��m curious about right now is what on earth does this brat want to do!�� Heavenly Eye said with a frown.


    Shui Yuan said, ��What can he still do? Take it one step at a time! With his bit of strength, even if he runs to the end of the Heavenspan World, he can��t escape the palm of our hands too!��


    Lonesoul sneered and said, ��Shut your mouth and listen to Brother Heavenly Eye!��


    Lonesoul had clearly realized it too. Among the three of them, Heavenly Eye had the sharpest mind.


    Heavenly Eye shook his head and said, ��I don��t know what he��s trying to do too, but �� with my judgment, this boy absolutely won��t be running around wildly like a headless fly! Chase first! See where he runs to!��


    The two people stopped talking, displaying their movement techniques to the limits and continued to pursue.


    A day later, Heavenly Eye suddenly felt the divine sense imprint left in Ye Yuan��s body suddenly accelerate.


    ��That brat already exited the irregular space. He��s heading toward the northwestern direction! Northwest direction, what place can let him shake off our pursuit?�� Heavenly Eye frowned and racked his brain.


    Hearing Heavenly Eye��s words, the two people were absorbed in thought.


    ��There are quite a number of dangerous places in the northwest direction, Windless Valley, Sea of Lightning, Blackwater Marsh, are all in this direction. I reckon that he might be thinking of hiding in these dangerous places, make us not dare to chase him further in!�� Shui Yuan said.


    Heavenly Eye nodded and said, ��There��s indeed this possibility! But along the way, there are quite a number of dangerous places. Which one is his target?��


    Lonesoul said, ��These dangerous places are all the same to him, all death after entering! I reckon that he��ll hide inside when he��s nearby after he��s driven into a corner!��


    Heavenly Eye shook his head and said, ��Wrong! He definitely has a target! It��s just that we haven��t thought of it yet! This brat is really an interesting opponent!��


    Along the way, Heavenly Eye had witnessed many of Ye Yuan��s means, and this actually caused his fighting spirit to set ablaze.


    People all said that he opened his heavenly eye. Actually, what people did not know was that with the heavenly eye being opened, the mind��s eye opened!


    Using incredible meticulousness to describe him was all too apt.


    These countless years, those able to compete with him in intellect, he had not encountered before yet.


    It was also precisely by relying on remarkable intellect that no matter which mystic realm he went to, he could scheme against his rivals perfectly.


    But along this way, he was plotted against by Ye Yuan dead in his tracks and did not gain any advantage at all.


    He had never thought that catching an Empyrean little fellow would actually take so much effort.


    This made him have a feeling of humiliation!


    Not catching Ye Yuan would likely affect his Dao heart, making him have flaws during his next blight tribulation.


    A full four days passed. Only then did Shui Yuan three people come out of the intricate irregular space. This made Shui Yuan three people have a feeling of going nuts.


    This area of irregular space was huge, they got lost inside many times before finally finding the exit.


    The current Ye Yuan had long already run until he was out of sight.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had a flash of inspiration and said in shock, ��I got it! This brat is going to Eight Void Mountain!��

 Chapter 2253 - Men Die in Pursuit of Wealth, Birds Die in Pursuit of Food!

    Standing at the foot of Eight Void Mountain, Ye Yuan felt an upsurge of emotion.


    The scenery before his eyes made the feelings of admiration in his heart arise spontaneously.


    Being able to lay down such peerlessly magnificent and unparalleled ingenious array formations indeed made him have the greatest esteem toward its creator.


    The entire Eight Void Mountain was an ocean of array formations, stretching in an unbroken line!


    This place was like an impassable natural chasm, lying in between the Middle Realm and West Realm, separating numerous rivers and mountains.


    It was very hard to imagine that such a colossal starry sea-like array formation was actually set up overnight by one person!


    Just what kind of terrifying realm did this person��s Formation Dao strength reach?


    Ye Yuan was unable to imagine it!


    Over 60 years of comprehending Dao, Ye Yuan thought that he had already reached a terrifying realm in Formation Dao.


    But in front of the Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions, it was not worth mentioning at all!


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, what was truly terrifying was that the area spanning 80 million miles Eight Void Mountain was a grand array that blended into one harmonious whole!


    Breaking the restriction by force was equivalent to facing the entire grand array, and would be instantly obliterated!


    Hence, challenging the formation must have a formation path master to lead before one could go up the mountain.


    Rashly entering the mountain was equivalent to a road that led to death.


    A grand array that spanned 80 million miles, even thinking about it felt terrifying.


    Ye Yuan even felt that this was not what human strength could accomplish at all!


    And looking over, this grand array was formed by one small-scale array formation after another.


    These small-scale array formations were interlinked, forming an organic entity, being incomparably harmonious.


    This kind of means was God knows how many times more brilliant than Ye Yuan using the alerting restrictions!


    One had to know, setting up a small-scale interlinked formation was easy, because the variables that needed to be calculated were relatively few.


    But once the array formation scaled up, the scale of the calculations would skyrocket by no idea how many magnitudes of difficulty.


    An 80 million miles colossal array formation, the computational complexity was simply unimaginable.


    This kind of boundary was already not what Ye Yuan could imagine!


    At this very moment, Ye Yuan finally experienced the feeling of there was always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that the Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions were most likely the pinnacle work of the Heavenspan Mountain for countless tens of thousands of years!


    ��Ye Yuan, do you have confidence?�� Seeing this kind of terrifying restriction undulations, Riverword could not help swallowing his saliva.


    This place, it was difficult to gauge how many people had died every year in the past.


    Even if one brought a formation path grandmaster here, a moment of carelessness and it would also be the outcome of turning to ashes.


    ��Are there other paths that can be taken?�� Ye Yuan answered with a question.


    Riverword choked, shaking his head slowly.


    ��Brat, see where you escape to!��


    Right then, three terrifying auras arrived with a whistle. Shui Yuan three people finally rushed over.


    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly turning around. He ascended the mountain.


    Shui Yuan three people��s arrival immediately aroused the attention of numerous powerhouses.


    Apart from the ever-present restrictions, Eight Void Mountain was rather like ordinary mountain ranges, being tall and having lush green trees standing in great numbers.


    Of course, there were also many lucky chances.


    Legends said that this grand array had once eradicated countless supreme powerhouses before, leaving behind countless lucky chances.


    Hence, there were many powerhouses searching up and down the mountain.


    ��Two Empyreans bringing along a cripple actually provoked three Deva Realm powerhouses? Are they crazy?��


    ��They seemed to be hiding from the Deva Realm powerhouses. That��s why they fled here.��


    ��Heh heh, wonder if those three Deva Realms will give any rewards if we kill those few guys?��


    �� ��


    Everyone was discussing the situation. Right at this time, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye said in a clear voice, ��Whoever can keep this boy behind, this Deva will reward a peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure! Dead or alive!��


    The moment these words came out, the mountain immediately boiled with excitement.


    ��Hahaha, boy, want to blame, blame that you shouldn��t have provoked such a powerful existence then!��


    At this time, the formation path master who was the closest to Ye Yuan gave a strange laugh and pounced over toward Ye Yuan!


    He was a peak Empyrean powerhouse and also a Seven-star Formation God.


    The array formations at the foot of the mountain, he had already thoroughly familiarized himself with it and would not set off the array formations.


    Ye Yuan just gave a cold laugh and snapped his fingers. A stream of divine essence fired at 50 feet in front of that person.


    In an instant, an azure flame lit up. That person did not have time to cry out tragically and was already burned to ashes.


    Everyone��s faces could not help changing when they saw this scene.


    However, the allure of a peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure made them forget fear, pouncing over toward Ye Yuan this side one after another.


    Ye Yuan��s face was cold, his fingers snapping repeatedly, igniting one restriction after another, annihilating seven to eight people with a snap of his finger.


    Furthermore, his feet did not stop, walking straight up the mountain.


    When Shui Yuan and Lonesoul saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically.


    ��Brother Heavenly Eye, it��s completely useless like this!�� Shui Yuan said anxiously.


    Heavenly Eye smiled and said, ��This boy��s array formations are extraordinary. The solidness of his foundational skills isn��t beneath mine! Originally, I also didn��t count on these fools to be able to keep him behind. I just need them to obstruct for a moment and it will be able to let us catch up to him! The two of you, follow me. Make sure not to take any missteps! Otherwise, even immortals can��t save you guys too!��


    The moment the two people heard, they could not help being overjoyed.


    But in the next instant, Heavenly Eye continued, ��Taking action this time already far exceeded my expectations. The price that we agreed upon before isn��t enough!��


    The two people secretly cursed the sly old fox, threatening them at this time.


    But at this time currently, it really would not do without him. They could only swear a Heavenly Dao Oath and agree to it.


    Done with these, Heavenly Eye took a stride and walked up the mountain.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was well-deserving of being a super Eight-star Formation God. His speed of ascending the mountain was not the least bit slower than Ye Yuan.


    But currently, Ye Yuan had long already annihilated more than a dozen Seven-star Formation Gods and scaled to a height of more than a thousand feet.


    After Ye Yuan killed more than a dozen people in a row, there was finally no one who dared to come up anymore.


    But right then, the powerhouses on top actually poured down.


    Seeing this scene, Riverword��s complexion immediately turned ashen and he said, ��Damn it! The allure of a peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure is seriously too great. Even Eight-star Formation Gods are tempted too! With this, we��re dead for sure!��


    It was true that Ye Yuan was formidable, but he was restricted by cultivation realm and was not as good as Eight-star Formation Gods after all.


    Furthermore, these Eight-star Formation Gods had researched here for many years and were extremely familiar with the restrictions here.


    Ye Yuan was in trouble now!


    However, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and he said, ��Sure enough, men die in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food. Since you all want to set off on your journey so much, then I��ll send you all off!��


    Done talking, he repeatedly snapped his fingers again, killing the Heavenly Emperor powerhouses that rushed up first.


    Seeing this scene, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s pupils could not help constricting and he cried out in surprise, ��Could it be that this boy doesn��t need to make deductions at all? It should be his first time going up the mountain. Why is he so familiar with the restrictions here? This Deva used several thousand years�� time when comprehending the restrictions below ten miles back then!��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s shock was not shot at random.


    On this Eight Void Mountain, each restriction was extremely complicated.


    Formation Dao grandmaster took each step very carefully, akin to treading on thin ice.


    Especially people who came for the first time and were not familiar with the restrictions here, they were even less daring to anyhow move.


    A moment of carelessness and there would be the outcome of perishing and Dao dissipating.


    Furthermore, the further up, the more complicated and profound the restrictions.


    The restrictions on top of Ye Yuan��s head, those were all rank eight array formations. Its power was immensely strong, being sufficient to kill Heavenly Emperors.


    Ye Yuan had not walked to that place yet, but he could accurately set the restrictions off to explode. How could this not shock Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye?

 Chapter 2254 - Growing Stronger With Battle!

    With Ye Yuan exterminating Heavenly Emperors with snaps of his finger, those Heavenly Emperors were naturally not willing to show weakness too.


    They looked down from a height and had long already gotten the restrictions behind them down to the tips of their fingers. Each and every one of them attempted to trigger the restrictions too.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly like in his own backyard inside the restrictions.


    It was only to see him display his skill in a dazzling manner, hitting onto the nodes of the surrounding restrictions, and annihilating all of the attacks.


    Following that, he repeatedly snapped his fingers and exterminated another Heavenly Emperor again.


    This was the magical battle between restrictions. What it competed in was not cultivation but the understanding of restrictions.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s understanding of the restrictions here far exceeded these Heavenly Emperors!


    ��Deal with those two people behind him!��


    Amidst the chaos, no idea who yelled out. Everyone immediately woke up. Attacks smashed over toward Riverword and Wild Blade that side.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark, the speed of his hands accelerating faster. He actually defended against the dozen over Heavenly Emperors�� attacks flawlessly.


    When Heavenly Eye saw this scene, his pupils could not help shrinking and he cried out in surprise, ��How is this possible? Could it be that this boy came to Eight Void Mountain before in the past? He already understands the restrictions here to a transcendent degree!��


    Shui Yuan two people had astonished looks on their faces too. Ye Yuan, a measly little Empyrean, actually defended perfectly under the attacks of more than a dozen Eight-star Formation Gods.


    ��Brother Heavenly Eye! Looks like only you personally taking action can deal with him!�� Heavenly Emperor Shui Yuan said.


    Heavenly Eye��s face fell and he said, ��As long as let this old man enters the range within 100 feet of him, he��ll die beyond a doubt!��


    Done talking, the three people went up the steps.


    With Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye, this super powerhouse, leading the way, their speed was extremely fast. The distance from Ye Yuan was getting smaller and smaller.


    And Ye Yuan��s speed slowed down significantly because of the obstruction of numerous Heavenly Emperors.


    Of course, it was primarily still because he had to protect Riverword and Wild Blade two people.


    Riverword��s expression was extremely ugly. He was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor super powerhouse. At present, he actually became a burden to others.


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye and the rest getting closer and closer at the back, he became increasingly anxious in his heart.


    ��Little Friend Ye, many thanks for your protection along the way! Looks like this Limitless God Killing Bow isn��t fated with me. You bring it and continue advancing, don��t care about me anymore!�� Riverword gritted his teeth and said.


    For Riverword to be able to reach his present realm, he had lived for a trillion years and had experienced no idea how many schemes and deception, conspiring and outwitting.


    But such a righteous and loyal person like Ye Yuan, it was still his first time meeting such person in his life.


    In this current state, he definitely would not be able to transcend the Deva blight tribulation.


    There was already not much difference between dying sooner or later.


    Rather than becoming Ye Yuan��s burden, he would rather just die.


    ��Shut up! Just the likes of these few trash can��t stop me yet! A big grown man is behaving like a girl. Don��t you find it humiliating by threatening to commit suicide? Relax! When I can��t hold on, I��ll throw you out!�� Ye Yuan��s hands moved like lightning as he said with a cold yell.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan fired out another few streams of light, blowing up another Heavenly Emperor, making Riverword feel shocked.


    This guy was genuinely strong!


    Dealing with these Eight-star Formation Gods was actually like chopping vegetables.


    If not for the numbers being too many, Ye Yuan would have long rushed forward.


    Riverword turned his head to look and could not help drawing a mouthful of cold air.


    The speed of Heavenly Eye three people coming up was very fast, they were already merely around 500 feet away from them.


    ��Whoever can kill this punk, this emperor will award a heavenly emperor spirit treasure plus three Carefree Heavenly Laugh Pills!��


    Right then, Heavenly Eye suddenly roared again, the entire Eight Void Mountain could hear it clearly.


    Carefree Heavenly Laugh Pill was a rank eight spirit medicine. It was hard to get even with a mountain of gold!


    With this, even more Heavenly Emperors were moved.


    The surrounding Heavenly Emperor powerhouses swarmed over, practically blocking off the path up.


    Riverword��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��This dog thing, really shameless! Little Friend Ye, are �� are you really fine? Mn? Little Friend Ye?��


    He discovered that Ye Yuan completely ignored him.


    The surrounding attacks became more and more, countless light motes fired over, dense like raindrops, making Riverword��s scalp go numb.


    When Heavenly Eye saw this scene, his eyes revealed a delighted smile.


    Shui Yuan even gave a big thumbs up and said smugly, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye is really brilliant! This move will really claim this punk��s life!��


    Lonesoul was serious in speech and manner, but his face also revealed a smile at this time and said, ��Inviting Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye this time is really of great help!��


    Heavenly Eye said smugly, ��This brat has a sharp mind. Furthermore, his array formation attainments are indeed extremely strong. Going to Eight Void Mountain is indeed his best choice. It��s a pity that �� he ran into this old man! Heh, playing tricks in front of this old man, this Eight Void Mountain will be his burial ground!��


    Puff!


    His voice had yet to fade when another Heavenly Emperor was killed!


    Pffft, pffft!


    This time, it was two!


    Another moment passed, Ye Yuan��s fingers snapped repeatedly, directly annihilating three Heavenly Emperors!


    The movements of Ye Yuan��s hands got faster and faster, and increasingly precise.


    Before long, a dozen over Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were actually slaughtered cleanly by him!


    At this time, there were many more Heavenly Emperors that swarmed over.


    But Ye Yuan��s speed of killing people got faster and faster!


    Killing until the back, there was already no one that dared to come up anymore!


    Beside Ye Yuan, Riverword��s eyeballs were almost popping out.


    What happened?


    Just now, he was clearly still being overwhelmed. How did he erupt all of a sudden?


    Heavenly Eye three people were still feeling pleased with themselves earlier. Now, they were directly rendered mute.


    ��This �� What��s going on here?�� Shui Yuan looked at this scene, shocked until he stared dumbfounded with his mouth agape.


    Heavenly Eye��s gaze turned intent and he looked over toward Ye Yuan, and could not help sucking in a mouthful of cold air.


    ��This boy is comprehending the formations! Walking along the way, his Formation Dao strength grew stronger again! Just now, he was surrounded, it was just because he wanted to borrow these people��s hands to comprehend the array formations! Now �� he comprehended it!�� Heavenly Eye opened his eyes wide and said in shock.


    By the side, Shui Yuan two people listened until they were dumbstruck with amazement.


    ��This boy��s comprehension ability is also too freakish, right?�� Lonesoul could not resist complaining.


    Heavenly Eye shook his head and said, ��This boy already trod out his own path in Formation Dao! His understanding of Formation Dao already pries right at the source! This Eight Void Mountain��s array formations is a huge treasure vault to Formation Dao powerhouses. It only depends on whether you have the ability to excavate it or not! This boy definitely didn��t come to Eight Void Mountain before in the past, so the inspiration that the restrictions here gave to him was huge, letting his strength make a qualitative leap within a short time! Hiss �� truly a terrifying lad!��


    Heavenly Eye��s analysis was already very close to the truth.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had been comprehending the formations along the way!


    People should not look at how his speed of scaling the mountain was very fast. Actually, it was just that the restrictions at the foot of the mountain were too simple. Ye Yuan was able to deconstruct them very quickly and turn them into his.


    All the way until Heavenly Eye used a heavenly emperor spirit treasure as bait to lure Eight-star Formation Gods to deal with Ye Yuan. This allowed Ye Yuan to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study of the things along the way, and let his Formation Dao strength make another qualitative leap.


    Actually, if Ye Yuan wanted to ascend the mountain, he could have long rushed up.


    But Ye Yuan was not in a rush. He was not fleeing for his life, he wanted to match magical powers with Heavenly Eye!


    It was just that Heavenly Eye did not know these thoughts!

 Chapter 2255 - Pinnacle Showdown!

    Ye Yuan rampaging in all directions finally made those Heavenly Emperors abruptly startle awake.


    They finally realized that the peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure was not so easy to get!


    This young man��s strength in Formation Dao was already stronger than even the vast majority of Eight-star Formation Gods.


    The only thing he lacked was cultivation realm.


    But, on Eight Void Mountain, this place where powerful restrictions were spread out all over the hills and dales. Cultivation realm was directly overlooked.


    The restrictions here were too strong!


    Whoever could make good use of the restrictions here, whoever would be the king here!


    Those able to cultivate to Heavenly Emperor Realm, none were fools.


    They got carried away by the peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure previously and also thought that Ye Yuan��s realm was low and easy to bully. That was why they would throw caution to the wind and rush up.


    Now, they all knew that Ye Yuan was not some soft persimmon but a tough rock.


    While they themselves were eggs that would break with a bump.


    Everyone spread out, making way for a path.


    But Ye Yuan��s speed of climbing the mountain did not become faster. Instead, it became slower.


    Heavenly Eye three people were looking like they were about to catch up.


    Everyone had strange looks. Only then did they know that they had become cannon fodders without rhyme or reason.


    ��I suddenly realized that this guy didn��t care at all whether or not there were people fencing him in!��


    ��What the f*ck! Those who died are so wronged!��


    ��This kid is comprehending formations himself. In the end, we ran up to let him practice. Messing around for so long, we��re all air ����


    �� ��


    At this very moment, the Heavenly Emperors on the mountain had an impulse to vomit blood.


    Only at this time did they understand that it was Ye Yuan himself who slowed him, and not them hindering Ye Yuan��s footsteps.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye three people went up the steps. In a twinkle, there was only a distance of over 100 feet.


    Shui Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Fine lad, you don��t think anything of us at all!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a stream of divine essence passed through multiple restrictions and landed beside them.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye snapped his fingers and annihilated it.


    ��Fine lad, this is provoking this emperor! Very well, this Deva wants to see how much capability you have, and whether or not you��re qualified to challenge this Deva!��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye gave a cold cry and returned a blow with a backhand.


    Ye Yuan��s fingertips pointed, resolving it easily.


    The two people��s showdown in magical abilities officially began!


    Both parties were still climbing the mountain continuously, transforming restrictions around them non-stop.


    While between them, it was separated by a distance of over a hundred feet. At the same time, they were also separated by quite a few layers of restrictions.


    With a moment of carelessness, not only would one fail to harm their opponent, but they would also instead turn themselves to ashes.


    One stream of divine essence after another fired out continuously. Both parties�� hand movements became faster and faster, making people see things in a blur.


    Watching the situation from the side, those Formation Dao grandmasters were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    The Formation Dao strength that the two exhibited currently simply took people��s breath away in wonder.


    Every move and stance was incredibly ingenious.


    This kind of ingenuity was completely different from martial art moves.


    That was the understanding of Formation Dao, understanding of Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions.


    While at this time, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye finally displayed the fearsome strength of a Deva Realm formation path master!


    An existence such as him already pried into the source of Formation Dao, his strength being formidable until it made people despair.


    Ye Yuan virtually did not have much strength to fight back under his coercion.


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan could still contend with Heavenly Eye as an equal.


    But along with the passage of time, Ye Yuan��s defensive ring got smaller and smaller.


    Previously, the restrictions that Ye Yuan left behind made Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye succumb. It was because Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye harbored underestimation, coupled with the ingenuity of Ye Yuan��s skills.


    Actually, there was suspicion of resorting to trickery.


    The might of Deva Realm was simply unimaginable!


    Currently, both parties clashing head-on with the gloves off, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye unleashed his powerful strength to the fullest expression of its beauty and form, astounding everyone!


    This was the oppression of cultivation realm!


    ��Heh, reckless and blind punk, he probably doesn��t know that the place Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye attained the Dao is Eight Void Mountain! Back then, he gained enlightenment on Formation Dao at Eight Void Mountain, becoming a formation path grandmaster in one stroke. Later, he even relied on heavenly eye and Formation Dao to transcend the Deva blight tribulation. How can he be placed in the same category as an Empyrean Realm brat?�� Shui Yuan said with a disdainful look.


    Walking along this way, they repeatedly suffered losses.


    All the way until Heavenly Eye overwhelmed Ye Yuan at this time that they finally had a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment.


    Logically speaking, they were all old monsters who had made a name for themselves for a long time and should not be so enraged.


    But along the way, they were led by the nose by an Empyrean Realm junior, and seriously could not refrain from exploding anymore.


    Lonesoul also smiled coldly and said, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye knows the restrictions below 3000 miles like the back of his hand. Does this brat think that by comprehending Dao this short while, he can rival a Deva Realm? Too naive!��


    When those Eight-star Formation Gods saw this scene, each and every one of them marveled endlessly, feelings of worship arising spontaneously.


    ��Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye is too strong! He��s really walking about amidst the restrictions pretty much like in his own backyard.��


    ��It��s a pity. That kid��s talent is exceedingly high. It��s just that facing a genuine powerhouse, he��s still too young and inexperienced!��


    ��Tsk tsk, if I can reach Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s heights one day, I can die without regrets!��


    �� ��


    The might that Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye exhibited was the kind of power that made people suffocate. It was strength accumulated over countless years.


    Although they marveled at Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao strength and talent, all this was futile in front of absolute strength.


    Even Riverword��s face was ashen too, a look of terror on his face.


    In front of such formidable strength, he could not see any hope.


    Ye Yuan��s defensive range was already being suppressed to the extreme.


    The three of them were akin to a candling flickering in the wind; possible to extinguish at any time.


    At this very moment, Riverword even felt that Ye Yuan was somewhat pompous!


    Correct, it was ��pompous�� this word!


    They thought that Ye Yuan was too confident in himself, thinking that he could match wits with a Deva Realm powerhouse by relying on array formations, even taking the initiative to provoke Heavenly Eye.


    But now, he had his face slapped by Heavenly Eye��s powerful strength.


    Just now, if he was not self-conceited and went upwards to flee for his life, there might be no chances of survival.


    But now, they were already latched onto by Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye. Even if they wanted to go, they could not leave either.


    Riverword acknowledged that Ye Yuan��s talent was terrifying. But it was precisely this terrifying talent that let him lose sight of who he really was, and that he was somewhat ignorant.


    He forgot that he was just over 2000 years old and was only at the Empyrean Realm!


    How could the might of a Deva be provoked?


    Actually, what everyone did not know was the shock in Heavenly Eye��s heart!


    The shock in his heart was already unable to use words to describe.


    Both parties�� showdown in magical abilities was quick until it made people see things in a blur.


    In an instant, they could even fire out ten thousand streams of divine essence to set off restrictions.


    They changed positions non-stop, arriving among new restrictions continuously.


    This kind of switching required incomparably powerful deduction and computational ability.


    One could say that the two of their brains were currently like two teraflops supercomputers operating at full power. They would have to experience countless mathematical calculations every second.


    But the problem was, he, Heavenly Eye, was long already thoroughly familiar with these restrictions.


    While it was Ye Yuan��s first time coming into contact with these restrictions!


    In the instant of switching restrictions, Ye Yuan already completely cracked the next restriction. That was how he could accomplish a seamless switch.


    Otherwise, as long as there was a bit of slip-up, he would catch the oversight and directly annihilate the other party!


    But up until now, he did not find any careless oversights!


    This brat��s computational ability was too terrifying!


    But fortunately, along with the restrictions getting more and more complex, Ye Yuan��s ability was clearly falling somewhat short of his wishes.

 Chapter 2256 - Paying Back in His Own Coin!

    Such a showdown made people watch until they became bedazzled.


    The Eight-star Formation Gods by the side had long already watched until they were intoxicated.


    Each and every one of them opened their eyes wide, fearful of missing the slightest detail.


    Array formations were dead, people were living.


    The battle of magics between two peak Formation Dao experts was just like an educational competition to them.


    How could concentrating on studying here for them be as directly beneficial as watching two top experts demonstrating personally?


    The two people changed positions, the height of them scaling got higher and higher.


    Ye Yuan did his best to hold on under Heavenly Eye��s powerful attacks.


    Riverword two people followed behind. Even their breathing was practically about to stop.


    ��This kid can really endure it. He��s not dead until now!��


    ��Truly a shame. The restrictions in front, I haven��t comprehended yet. I already have no way of keeping up with them.��


    ��They already fought to the height of 2600 over miles. The restrictions up there are also getting more and more dangerous. I reckon that that punk can��t hold on much longer.��


    �� ��


    The two people��s showdown in magical abilities already passed eight days and eight nights in a blink.


    During this period, Ye Yuan guarded against Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s frenzied attacks, making everyone��s jaws drop.


    In other people��s view, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had clearly already squeezed Ye Yuan to the limit. Ye Yuan had the possibility of tumbling at any time.


    But Ye Yuan held in there just like this for eight days and eight nights!


    During these eight days and eight nights, both parties scaled a height of more than 2000 miles.


    Eight Void Mountain��s array formations, above 2800 miles were Deva Realm grand arrays!


    Except, in the midst of such a confusing battle, nobody discovered that Ye Yuan��s eyes became brighter and brighter.


    In these eight days and eight nights, Ye Yuan��s comprehension of Formation Dao could virtually catch up to the total sum of all his previous comprehensions already!


    Over 60 years of comprehending Dao made Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao be remolded anew.


    And these eight days and nights of comprehension let Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao scaled new heights!


    Especially that Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had an original view of the comprehension of Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions.


    Ye Yuan and him battling in magical abilities were equivalent to corroborating his comprehensions with the other party.


    The two of their relationship was like an extremely wise master guiding the disciple step by step.


    Ye Yuan��s method of comprehending Formation Dao followed the same pattern as Alchemy Dao.


    These complex to the extreme array formation restrictions were merely just one foundational array formation after another in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    No matter how complicated the array formation, it was merely arranging these foundational array formations in an extremely ingenious method, making the power increase greatly from there.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s speed of comprehending array formations far surpassed the average person.


    Back then at Fiendflame Mountain, Ye Yuan was able to deconstruct the rank eight grand array with an extremely fast speed because of this.


    However, his own comprehension was one aspect. Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s comprehension was another aspect.


    Those able to reach Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s boundary all strode out their own ��Dao��.


    In the eyes of ten thousand people, there were ten thousand stories.


    The same array formation restrictions, the things that different people comprehended were naturally different.


    Paying back in his own coin was able to let Ye Yuan��s comprehensions towards these array formations be even deeper, and could even pry into the source of the person who set up the formations!


    The reason why he provoked Heavenly Eye, the objective also lay precisely here.


    There was indeed disparity between him and Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye. But the gap between them was far smaller than others imagined.


    While Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was strong until it made people despaired, wanting to kill Ye Yuan was absolutely not such an easy matter too.


    At least, one would have to reach the height above 2800 miles too!


    But, when they fought until above 2800 miles, Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao strength was another boundary.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye did not know what it meant, unleashing attacks frenziedly.


    While Ye Yuan fell back little by little, letting Heavenly Eye think that he reached his limit and could finish him off very quickly.


    Actually, his current Formation Dao strength could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as when he was at the foot of the mountain long ago!


    It was just that nobody knew.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was about to die, but they did not know that he was accumulating strength to deal Heavenly Eye three people a lightning blow!


    Ye Yuan did not come to Eight Void Mountain at random. Along the way, he had already planned everything out.


    The array formations here were formidable to the extreme. As long as his Formation Dao strength was strong enough, he could completely rely on the array formations here to exterminate Deva Realm powerhouses!


    And what he wanted to do was to make someone suffer from their own scheme!


    Along the way, Ye Yuan already determined from the clues and inklings that this Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was absolutely not to be trifled with.


    Therefore, he did it very carefully.


    Along the way up the mountain, Ye Yuan advanced gradually and entrenched himself at every step, feigning an appearance of gradually not being able to hold out.


    He had once laid down array formations, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye should have some understanding of his strength.


    If he did it too fiercely, it would give himself away instead.


    Therefore, he used the technique of concealing his strength and let Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye think that he was almost reaching his limits little by little.


    He was continuously comprehending array formations. But towards the back, he shrunk his defensive circle and let Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye think that his comprehension was getting harder and harder.


    But his true strength was advancing by leaps and bounds!


    Shui Yuan and Lonesoul were still unaware. Seeing Ye Yuan��s defensive circle already being compressed to the limit, they could not help being greatly excited.


    ��Hahaha �� brat, aren��t you very capable? This emperor wants to see when you can last until!�� Shui Yuan said with a big laugh.


    Lonesoul also said, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, double up! Make this brat turn to ashes!��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye nodded his head slightly and said in a clear voice, ��Boy, the array formations here are already almost reaching the limits of Eight-star Formation Gods. Your strength should be about this much, right? Any further up and you��ll die beyond a doubt!��


    Roughly 2000 miles, there was the boundary between Eight-star Formation Gods and those who surpassed Eight-star Formation Gods.


    Surpassing 2000 miles was the domain of Deva Realm!


    Under this, even if Deva Realm powerhouses accidentally set off restrictions, they could also rely on powerful strength to hang in there and not die.


    But any further up and the power of the restrictions would soar exponentially.


    Once a Deva Realm powerhouse set it off, they would die without a doubt!


    Ye Yuan was still unconvinced as he said, ��Humph! Three old fogeys! If you have the capabilities, breach my defensive circle before talking!��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye laughed loudly and said, ��This Deva comprehended Dao on Eight Void Mountain. It��s akin to walking on flat ground below 3000 miles. How can it be something that you, this brat, can compare to? Just you watch! This Deva will breach your defensive circle and let you die without a burial ground!��


    While talking, Ye Yuan already broke through the distance of 2000 miles.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye laughed loudly, suddenly firing out countless streams of divine essence, the power even skyrocketing several times.


    Ye Yuan��s defensive circle was compressed to the extreme all of a sudden.


    In the restrictions that he was at, there was virtually no place to stop for a rest already!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan and the others were placed in jeopardy!


    However, Ye Yuan similarly fired out countless streams of divine essence like mirages, barely managing to clear this dangerous hurdle.


    Except, everyone could tell that Ye Yuan probably could not block the next round of attacks anymore.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye three people gave a loud laugh, directly charging past 2800 miles this threshold!


    ��Brat, prepare to die! Fool, the space above 2000 miles is the place where this emperor can truly put my abilities to good use!�� Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye gave a cold laugh. The divine essence that fired out this time even skyrocketed several times!


    Deva Realm array formations were incomparably complicated. The array elements were naturally in abundance too, the points that could set off restrictions naturally became increasingly more.


    At this point, he was a hero with no place to display his prowess!


    However, right at this moment, Ye Yuan��s fingers moved like phantoms, firing out countless streams of divine essence.


    The numbers were above Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye!


    The unexpected eruption made the entire Eight Void Mountain fall into shock!

 Chapter 2257 - You All Were Wrong!

    ��What��s going on here? This brat clearly almost could not make it just now. So why did he suddenly erupt?��


    ��It turns out that this brat has been hiding his strength all along!��


    ��My God! Turns out that his Formation Dao strength already rivals those in the Deva Realm? This boy is really a freak!��


    �� ��


    With one move, people on the entire mountain were amazed!


    The divine essence that Ye Yuan fired out in an instant, it blotted out the skies and covered the earth.


    When Shui Yuan and Lonesoul saw this terrifying scene, they were immediately frightened until their complexions turned pale.


    The restrictions above 2000 miles were sufficient to take their lives!


    Ye Yuan taking action at this time was clearly aiming to drive to death.


    ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, save us!�� Shui Yuan cried out in alarm.


    The light that filled the sky caught Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye by surprise, making his expression change wildly.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s heart shook wildly. He had some understanding of Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao strength and felt that it was impossible to reach such a degree!


    Unless �� Ye Yuan comprehended even more restrictions on Eight Void Mountain!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    How could someone be monstrous to such a degree?


    He actually still had leftover strength to comprehend Dao under his frenzied bombardment?


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan comprehended was not a little bit, but leaps and bounds!


    A qualitative leap!


    If Ye Yuan previously had half a foot stepped into the gate of ��Dao,�� then now, he truly entered the domain of Dao!


    However, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was ultimately a Deva Realm major power. Although he was startled, he did not panic!


    It was only to see Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye repeatedly snap his fingers, firing out countless streams of divine essence in an instant, neutralizing the restrictions that Ye Yuan fired out.


    ��Fine lad! You��re truly cunning to the extreme. Even this emperor almost succumbed too! However �� want to turn the situation around with this? Dream on!�� Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye gave a cold laugh and said disdainfully.


    He knew the restrictions above these 2000 miles like the back of his hands. So how could he lose to a junior?


    The killing traps above these 2000 miles were like child��s play to him.


    Crack!


    Right at this moment, a shocking bolt of lightning suddenly fell.


    The pale-white lightning tore across the sky. It was as if rending the sky into two.


    Horrifying power, the explosive clap of thunder, shocked until everyone suddenly jumped


    There were a few Eight-star Formation Gods who almost stepped on the wrong nodes and almost set off restrictions.


    This scene came too suddenly, abrupt until everyone did not react to it.


    Rumble!


    This shocking bolt of lightning landed on Heavenly Eye three people��s bodies with an inconceivably swift speed.


    ��Urgh!��


    The three people gave a muffled groan, akin to being struck by five thunderbolts, instantly blasting them into a daze.


    Receiving such a fierce blow, the three great Deva Realms�� auras immediately withered significantly.


    Especially Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul, his body was practically dissipating under this strike.


    Although he stabilized his figure in the end by relying on his powerful strength, his body became incomparably illusory all at once.


    Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul was a soul body and was most afraid of lightning.


    Ordinary lightning was nothing, but how could the power of this Deva Realm array formation be ordinary?


    As for the other two people, they were a little better than him but also suffered heavy damage.


    It was just that this scene, in everyone��s eyes, was even more shocking than that bolt of lightning just now.


    The restriction was triggered!


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye, this formation path grandmaster, actually lost to an Empyrean Realm junior in a battle of formation!


    This turnaround was too astonishing, resulting in everyone forgetting their thoughts for a moment.


    A second ago, Ye Yuan was already in the throes of his deathbed struggle.


    The next second, he actually dealt a superb major turnaround, setting off a Deva Realm restriction!


    The entire Eight Void Mountain fell into death-like silence.


    Riverword stared dumbfoundedly with amazement. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Ye Yuan, an expression like he had seen a ghost. It was as if it was his first time knowing him.


    ��H-Heavenly Eye lost?�� He still did not quite dare to believe it.


    ��Is my eyesight failing? Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye is a legendary figure of Eight Void Mountain. He �� He was actually defeated?��


    ��Just what kind of person is this boy? His Formation Dao attainments are also too terrifying, right?��


    ��A puny little Empyrean boy actually seriously wounded a Deva Realm powerhouse! This incident �� will likely become the Eight Void Mountain��s new legend!��


    �� ��


    The surrounding Eight-star Formation Gods all used astonished gazes to look at Ye Yuan, sucking in cold breaths.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Eye and said with a cold smile, ��Akin to walking on flat ground below 3000 miles? Huhu, I think not, right?��


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye comprehended Dao at 3000 miles and knew the restrictions below 3000 miles like the back of his hand.


    Just earlier, he was still saying that it was akin to walking on flat ground below 3000 miles.


    But in a blink, he had his face slapped by this bolt of lightning.


    Suffering this blow, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s powers were immediately more than half gone.


    However, Deva Realm powerhouses were indeed formidable to the extreme. The restriction that Ye Yuan exhausted all his ability to detonate was actually unable to kill them.


    Heavenly Eye was very weak, but he had puzzlement all over his face as he said, ��This �� How is this possible? I clearly already cracked all of them!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You think that you know the array formations here. But actually �� you don��t understand them at all! Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions are far more impressive than what you can imagine!��


    Heavenly Eye��s pupils constricted, even more confused.


    ��You all definitely think that Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions are one connected to another. As long as you comprehend all of these restrictions, even if you crack the restrictions, you can scale Eight Void Mountain unceasingly,�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    Many Eight-star Formation Gods secretly nodded their heads but had curious looks. Could it be that it was not like this?


    ��You are all wrong! This Eight Void Mountain��s grand array is a living grand array! On the same flat surface, there are countless kinds of restrictions, and they aren��t fixed and unchangeable! When you crack a restriction, actually, you��re still inside another restriction! Different combination methods will form restrictions with varying powers! Therefore, when you��re standing on a node, it might be the intersection point of many restrictions! These intersection points are just the formation eyes of many array formations, it��s just able to let you pass through safely, that��s all! But, comprehending the formations like this, it��s impossible for you guys to ever walk to the summit!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were akin to thunderbolts falling on their heads, exploding in everyone��s ears.


    Powerhouses that could walk to 2700 and 2800 miles, which one was not a distinguished talent in Formation Dao?


    Whether or not Ye Yuan��s words made sense, they were clear at once!


    If this Eight Void Mountain��s array formations were formed by countless nodes, linking up a few of the nodes would be a restriction.


    What they comprehended were the restrictions after these few nodes were linked up.


    But, actually, these points were merely just a shared node used by several restrictions!


    The things that they comprehended were too surface-level!


    ��Wrong! We were all wrong!��


    ��Ah! So that��s how it is! So that��s how it is! My many years of comprehending Formation Dao was really utterly wasted!��


    ��I understand! I thought that my Formation Dao is already close to Dao, but only now do I know that I know nothing at all! This emperor will descend the mountain right away and comprehend Dao from the beginning!��


    �� ��


    Quite a few Eight-star Formation Gods actually went straight down the mountain.


    Ye Yuan��s words were akin to being filled with wisdom, letting them understand the crux involved all at once.


    Only then did they understand that turns out, the things that they comprehended all along were nothing at all!


    At the same time, there were some people with vacant looks.


    Something that was upheld for so many years being denied, this sort of blow could be imagined.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had a lifeless look.


    His countless years of pride, it was shattered to smithereens at this instant!

 Chapter 2258 - Pursuing 3000 miles!

    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye comprehending Dao on Eight Void Mountain was once a legend of this place.


    Comprehending Dao at 3000 miles, this was not what anybody could accomplish.


    But, after 3000 miles, he was unable to go an inch further.


    He thought that this was him encountering a bottleneck.


    It turned out that he was wrong from the very start!


    ��Brat, consider yourself ruthless! This score today, this Deva has remembered it! After I recover my strength, I��ll definitely tear your corpse to pieces!��


    Shui Yuan yelled coldly, turned to Heavenly Eye again, and said, ��Fellow Daoist Heavenly Eye, what are you still in a daze for? Still not going, waiting for death?��


    Actually, Shui Yuan was extremely displeased in his heart. He expended a huge price to invite Heavenly Eye. He did not expect that this guy was a pewter spearhead that shone silver; impressive looking but useless.


    Pursuing for miles, in the end, he actually lost to an Empyrean Realm brat in a battle of magical abilities.


    Of course, he did not dare to go too overboard right now. Want to walk out of Eight Void Mountain, he still had to rely on Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye.


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan was extremely monstrous, but he just could not swallow this grievance in his heart.


    How awe-inspiring were Deva Realm powerhouses? But they lost at the hands of an Empyrean Realm brat, and it was even in front of so many powerhouses, this made him utterly lose face!


    The moment Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye heard, he was filled with fear.


    This place was not a place to stay for long!


    ��Go!�� Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye did not hesitate in the slightest, turning around and leaving.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Looks like you haven��t figured out the situation yet! You wouldn��t think that I��d watch you guys go down the mountain just like this, right?��


    The three people felt their scalps tingle, walking down the mountain frenziedly.


    But under the heavy restrictions, how could they speed up?


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, firing out countless streams of divine essence in an instant, detonating the restrictions around the three great Deva Realms.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s scalp tingled, not daring to dawdle in the slightest, neutralizing Ye Yuan��s attacks frenziedly.


    But Ye Yuan��s comprehension of Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions had long already flung him several streets behind. So how could he block?


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    For some time, lightning, ice, raging fires, sword lights, so on and so forth, all sorts of restrictions suddenly exploded.


    Terrifying energy undulations reverberated in the mountains, making the powerhouses around the mountains palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    Three great Deva Realm powerhouses completely did not have the strength to fight back under Ye Yuan��s pursuit.


    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was virtually about to vomit blood. His defense was like paper paste in front of Ye Yuan.


    But he could not stop defending.


    If he gave up resisting, Ye Yuan would detonate even more restrictions.


    At that time, with all kinds of restrictions being all summoned over, the power would be several times, even several dozen times than now.


    Although the restrictions below 2800 miles were not comparable to Deva Realm, the power was extremely strong too.


    Plus, the three people were already seriously injured. The power of the restrictions was magnified infinitely.


    However, they were Deva Realm powerhouses in the end. Unleashing all of their power, they actually barely managed to withstand the impact of the restrictions.


    Of course, their injuries were also continuously worsening.


    Eight Void Mountain��s powerhouses watched until they stared dumbfoundedly and their mouths agape. An Empyrean Realm hunted three great Deva Realm powerhouses until there was no road to heaven and no gate into the earth. This scene was absolutely an unprecedentedly rare sight.


    This kind of powerhouse, which one wasn��t an existence that shocked the world?


    But under Ye Yuan��s invincible might, they were thrown into a panic.


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, another bolt of lightning landed.


    Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul let out a tragic cry, his figure no longer able to maintain, completely dissipating between heaven and earth.


    A Deva Realm peerless powerhouse of his generation was dead! He fell in Eight Void Mountain just like that!


    ��I actually witnessed the demise of a Deva Realm powerhouse today!��


    ��How many years has it been that we��ve heard of a Deva Realm powerhouse dying? This young man is too terrifying!��


    ��After today, the entire Heavenspan World will probably tremble because of it!��


    �� ��


    Witnessing the fall of a Deva Realm powerhouse made all the powerhouses sigh incessantly.


    Such a powerhouse was originally the strongest existence in the world, virtually having undying bodies!


    What could make them perish was also just the most terrifying Deva blight tribulation in this world.


    At least, they had to die at the hands of a Deva Second Blight powerhouse and above too.


    But Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul died in the hands of an Empyrean Realm junior.


    Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul was originally a ghost path powerhouse, his cultivation being immensely formidable.


    But no matter how strong he was, he also had the weakness of ghost path powerhouses. It was being utterly restrained by extreme yang and indomitable things.


    Actually, cultivating to Heavenly Emperor Lonesoul��s kind of realm, the lightning laws that could threaten him were already exceedingly few.


    Yet, this place was Eight Void Mountain, the apex of Formation Dao!


    The might of the restrictions here were seldomly seen in the world.


    He was struck by the restriction lightning consecutively. So how was there the logic of not dying?


    Rather, it was the other two people who were much tougher than him.


    But at this point, they were already extremely weak as well.


    ��No way! Carrying on like this, I��ll die here too! Shui Yuan this fool, just what kind of a terrifying fellow did he provoke? I got scammed badly by him this time! Bringing him along now is just a burden. I can��t continue like this anymore!��


    Heavenly Eye was burning with anxiety. Bringing along two people previously, he was certainly not Ye Yuan��s match.


    But now, he already could not quite hold out under Ye Yuan��s savage bombardment.


    Thinking up to here, he no longer hesitated and cried out coldly, ��Heavenly eye, open!��


    By the side, Heavenly Emperor Shui Yuan was caught off-guard and only felt his divine soul suddenly suffer a heavy blow from a sledgehammer, making him feel drowsy.


    ��Heavenly Eye, you!��


    He only had time to say three words and was struck flying by Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye with one palm.


    Suddenly, countless restrictions exploded on his body.


    Heavenly Emperor Shui Yuan was originally already seriously wounded. Currently, his divine soul suffered heavy damage as well. So how could he still withstand the bombardment of these restrictions?


    Without Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s lead, it was like he stepped on countless land mines. There was nowhere to hide at all.


    In a single breath, he was blown by countless restrictions into a pile of minced meat!


    Another Deva Realm powerhouse fell!


    It was just that Shui Yuan did not die at Ye Yuan��s hands. Instead, he died at Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s hands.


    The world of martial artists was so cruel. Faced with imminent disaster, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye directly pushed his own people into the fire pit.


    ��Hiss �� What vicious means!��


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them could not help drawing a cold breath.


    Without these two people hindering, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye��s speed suddenly sped up.


    Among the three people, he was the least injured.


    Heavenly Eye was a Deva Realm formation path master in the end. His Formation Dao strength was formidable to the extreme. He could naturally neutralize the majority of the restrictions�� power.


    Now, without Shui Yuan two people dragging him down, his speed suddenly accelerated.


    Ye Yuan��s face fell slightly, he still underestimated this guy in the end.


    The further down, the weaker the power of the restrictions, and the smaller the harm to Heavenly Eye naturally too.


    As long as he could endure until below 2000 miles, it would be very hard for Ye Yuan to cause substantial harm to him anymore.


    Among the three people, the most troublesome one was Heavenly Eye instead. Ye Yuan naturally did not want to let him off.


    Even if did not kill, he also wanted to inflict serious wounds, making him unable to recover within a short time.


    Otherwise, being targeted by a Deva Realm powerhouse all day, Ye Yuan would find it hard to eat and sleep.


    The two people, one chased and one fled. They arrived at the foot of the mountain in a blink of an eye.


    ��Brat, hide in Eight Void Mountain for all your life if you have the capability! As long as you leave Eight Void Mountain, this Deva will definitely tear your corpse to pieces!��


    Upon exiting Eight Void Mountain, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye suddenly became light, fleeing like flying.


    Before leaving, he even left behind harsh words.


    Ye Yuan��s face fell, and he said to Riverword, ��Senior, lend the bow to me!��

 Chapter 2259 - Substituting Arrow With Sword!

    Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye fleeing Eight Void Mountain was akin to the tiger returning to the mountains, a fish entering the seas!


    As long as he recovered slightly, with Ye Yuan��s bit of strength, he could just wait to be slaughtered, unless he could attain Dao in Eight Void Mountain.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Riverword��s expression changed, and he said, ��The Limitless God Killing Bow��s power is extremely strong, but your strength ����


    Ye Yuan said, ��Relax! I have a score in my heart! Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye is too strong. I can��t let him leave!��


    Riverword��s gaze glimmered and he said with a nod, ��Okay, you be careful!��


    After talking, he did not hesitate either, taking out the Limitless God Killing Bow. He passed it to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, removing the restrictions on the bow in no time flat. A terrifying surge of power engulfed the wildness!


    The entire Eight Void Mountain was stunned by the Limitless God Killing Bow��s horrifying aura.


    ��Dao artifact! It��s a Dao artifact! What terrifying power, no wonder the three of them pursued until here!�� When someone saw the Limitless God Killing Bow, even the pitch of their voice changed.


    A terrifying backlash force gushed out of the Limitless God Killing Bow, wanting to kill Ye Yuan like killing those Heavenly Emperors.


    But right then, an even more majestic and imposing aura suddenly released from Ye Yuan��s body, suppressing the Limitless God Killing Bow��s power.


    That was the pressure of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    Dao artifact! The reason why it was called Dao artifact was that the powerful Dao accumulations hidden inside were akin to Heavenly Dao personally descending.


    But any Dao artifact still paled in comparison when in front of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    The Limitless God Killing Bow��s haughtiness that had just shown its head was thoroughly suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    All this was quietly completed in the instant that Ye Yuan gripped the Limitless God Killing Bow. Bystanders did not detect it at all.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help turning pale with fright. Riverword even had a look of astonishment.


    Such a precious treasure, there was simply no way of controlling if one��s strength was not up to par.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not suffer the least bit of backlash when holding it in his hand.


    In fact, he felt fear, this emotion, from the Limitless God Killing Bow!


    This made him feel extremely absurd!


    Why would a Dao artifact fear an Empyrean?


    But the more he denied it, the stronger this feeling got.


    Ye Yuan gripped the Limitless God Killing Bow in his hand, his aura instantly skyrocketed to the peak.


    It was as if the enormous Eight Void Mountain only had him alone left!


    ��Sword, come!��


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, countless divine essence gathered over from all directions, forming a light sword!


    Bow arched, sword notched!


    These movements were completed in one go, akin to floating clouds and flowing water �C natural and smooth.


    Eight Void Mountain��s powerhouses were already dumbstruck with amazement. Ye Yuan actually substituted the arrow with a sword by condensing a sword with the power of source!


    Every element was not something that should happen to a martial artist at Ye Yuan��s realm.


    Yet, these impossible things gathered onto his person alone!


    Ye Yuan��s essence, energy, and spirit poured into the Limitless God Killing Bow crazily. However, a Dao artifact was a Dao artifact after all.


    All the strength in Ye Yuan��s body was virtually depleted in an instant.


    While he merely only pulled an extremely small angle on the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    But just this extremely small angle was sufficient!


    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, fingers letting go slightly. The light sword disappeared with a swoosh.


    Rumble!


    A breath later, an astonishing loud boom came from the distance.


    Talking about it was slow, but actually, from when Heavenly Eye left to Ye Yuan chasing after, then to drawing the bow and releasing the arrow, it was merely several breaths time.


    With Heavenly Eye��s current speed, it was merely a distance of several million miles.


    This distance did not count as far at all to a Dao artifact��s arrow.


    Ye Yuan��s divine sense was constantly locked hard onto him. With this arrow tearing across the sky, it arrived in an instant.


    A Dao artifact coupled with Ye Yuan��s sword of source, how astonishing was the power?


    No need to look, Ye Yuan also knew that Heavenly Eye would have to recuperate for more than a thousand years even if he did not die this time.


    The entire mountain was silent. Everyone put down the things in their hands and looked at this young man who was a nobody.


    In several days, among the three great Deva Realm powerhouses, two were dead and one was seriously injured.


    This proud battle achievement was sufficient to be written in the annals of history!


    Thinking back now, everyone also felt like they were dreaming.


    ��Just what kind of freak is this boy? This emperor has comprehended on Dao at Eight Void Mountain for many years and it simply can��t compare to his measly few days!��


    ��Not only is his comprehension ability exceptional, but he can also even suppress Dao artifacts and comprehend the source of Sword Dao! How can there be such a monstrous person in this world?��


    ��This boy clearly has a Dao artifact in his hands. But why do I actually not have the desire to snatch it over?��


    ��Dealing with him must have a surefire plan! Once you can��t kill him, the consequences will be catastrophic!��


    �� ��


    Eight Void Mountain was the holy land of the formation path, the hidden lucky chances were countless.


    The powerhouses that come here to comprehend formations and excavate treasures were too many to enumerate. Even high-level Heavenly Emperors were not in the minority too.


    It was just that these few days, Ye Yuan and Heavenly Eye two parties sent the Eight Void Mountain into a tizzy.


    Seeing Ye Yuan cut down Deva Realms overwhelmingly, this kind of impact was seriously too strong, resulting in the treasure being in front, but they did not dare to have designs on it.


    A few days ago, the people who had designs on it had all already turned to dust.


    Even Deva Realm powerhouses died, let alone them?


    Of course, there were quite a few people who saw that Ye Yuan was debilitated, their gazes revealing murderous gleams too.


    But no one dared to come forward.


    The place where Ye Yuan was located was at the fringe of the restrictions. He could enter Eight Void Mountain at any time.


    Inside restrictions, Ye Yuan was close to invincible!


    The high altitudes of Eight Void Mountain naturally had several Deva Realm experts hidden too.


    Originally, the fight here had nothing to do with them, they could not be bothered either.


    But that instant when Ye Yuan took out the Limitless God Killing Bow, there were still quite a few people who were moved.


    It was just that there was still nobody who dared to take action.


    The overturned cart in front was a warning for those people behind. Ruining one��s cultivation base for a Dao artifact was not worth it!


    ��Go, up the mountain!��


    Ye Yuan threw the Limitless God Killing Bow back to Riverword and swallowed medicinal pills himself, rapidly restoring his physical strength.


    But leaving Eight Void Mountain at this time was clearly not a wise move.


    Eight Void Mountain��s powerhouses were too many, rashly leaving without recovering to peak state was equivalent to a lamb walking into the tiger��s mouth.


    Right now, everyone was looking at him. It was hard to guarantee that people would not be moved.


    Being stimulated by Ye Yuan previously, quite a few middle and late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses all went straight down the mountain and comprehended on Dao from the beginning.


    At this time, there were quite a lot of powerhouses at the foot of the mountain too.


    As for those with weak strength at the foot of the mountain, they were currently quaking in their boots.


    After all, Dao artifact this sort of thing, the power was truly too great!


    Ye Yuan holding the Limitless God Killing Bow in his hand earlier, there was even a misconception that he could shoot through this sky!


    That arrow earlier, people reckoned that even a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor would find it very hard to receive.


    This arrow also let Ye Yuan have a clear understanding of how terrifying Dao artifacts were. No wonder so many people would be moved.


    Ye Yuan brought the two people and went straight up to 2800 miles.


    it was only to see him repeatedly snap his fingers, the power of restrictions suddenly erupted.


    This scene gave everyone a fright.


    ��What��s he doing? Committing suicide?�� Someone cried out in surprise.


    But, in the next instant, Eight Void Mountain��s spiritual energy suddenly surged, gathering over toward Ye Yuan this side.


    At the 3000 miles area, a Deva Realm formation path expert had a stunned look as he said in shock, ��This �� Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions can still be played like this? Looks like this Deva was really ridiculously wrong these few years!��


    It turned out that the Eight Void Mountain��s restriction that Ye Yuan triggered was actually a Spirit Gathering Grand Array!

 Chapter 2260 - Sorry About It

    ��It can still be used like this?��


    ��I never knew that Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions can even trigger a Spirit Gathering Grand Array!��


    ��A Spirit Gathering Grand Array above 2800 miles, the power is extraordinary! This boy is going to break through!��


    �� ��


    Eight Void Mountain had always been synonymous with danger. Under the powerful restrictions here, no idea how many powerhouses fell here.


    But they had never heard that the restrictions here could still be used as a Spirit Gathering Grand Array!


    They suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was already not comprehending array formation.


    He was playing with array formations!


    Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit!


    Clearly, Ye Yuan comprehending Dao here already gained the true essence of the Eight Void Mountain��s formation path.


    On the contrary, they were cautious in taking every step here, akin to treading on thin ice, fearful of setting off restrictions.


    What they comprehended was just extremely superficial Formation Dao.


    Around 2800 miles and above Spirit Gathering Grand Array, the spiritual energy was incomparably abundant, forming a thick fog around Ye Yuan.


    He brought Riverword and Wild Blade to a safe place outside the fog and said, ��You guys help to guard me.��


    After talking, he entered inside the fog.


    Under such thick spiritual energy, Ye Yuan��s strength that was drained was in the midst of rapidly recovering.


    He sat within the restrictions, both eyes tightly shut.


    He was comprehending the Formation Dao comprehensions along the way!


    Ye Yuan fought his way up to 2800 miles all the way from the foot of the mountain. The things acquired were not just exterminating Deva Realms.


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand arrays were like a vast ocean.


    The more he navigated, the more unfathomable he felt.


    With Ye Yuan coming up all the way, he had a lot of comprehension and needed time to digest a bit.


    While at this time, the chaos world within Ye Yuan��s body finally could not hold back and started expanding once again.


    Within Ye Yuan��s body, his cultivation method started operating on its own. He started advancing toward the late-stage Chaos Realm.


    All of his mind and body were put into comprehending Formation Dao.


    This comprehension was seven years long!


    In seven years�� time, Ye Yuan finally fully comprehended the Formation Dao in 2800 miles.


    ��Unknowingly, already reached late-stage Chaos Realm, there��s only a step away from grand completion Chaos Realm. Looks like I absorbed quite a bit of spiritual energy during these seven years!��


    Ye Yuan removed the restriction and scattered the fog, everything returned to tranquility.


    Suddenly, he discovered one resentful gaze after another currently looking over towards him.


    ��Mn? All looking at me like this for what? I didn��t seem to have offended them, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a curious look.


    Wild Blade had a strange expression as he said, ��Young Master, you didn��t offend them? These seven years, this mountain full of powerhouses have all been offended by you.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan have a blank look, Riverword added on with a bitter smile and said, ��Your array formation virtually plundered all the spiritual energy. These seven years, the powerhouses on the whole mountain were unable to cultivate.��


    Ye Yuan only cared about closed-seclusion back then and did not think that much.


    During these seven years, he absorbed more than a significant amount of spiritual energy.


    The array formations above 2800 miles, their power rivaled Deva Realm!


    Such a Spirit Gathering Grand Array, how horrifying was the power?


    Ye Yuan��s current realm was roughly equivalent to peak Eighth Firmament Empyrean.


    He also did not think, with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon��s freakish refining ability, being able to let him break through two minor boundaries in a row, how great the capacity of spiritual energy did that require?


    Eight Void Mountain��s spiritual energy was extremely abundant. Furthermore, the further up, the thicker the spiritual energy.


    Ye Yuan��s Spirit Gathering Grand Array was too unreasonable. The spiritual energy above, it could not snatch any at all. So it only snatched the spiritual energy below.


    The major powers who comprehend Formation Dao here, those were all calculated with tens of thousands of years.


    They cultivated while comprehending Dao here. But Ye Yuan drained the spiritual energy that they cultivated dry, how could they not be resentful?


    But these Heavenly Emperors did not dare to offend Ye Yuan either, afraid that he would smite them with a bolt of lightning.


    There was no choice. They could only endure and hope that he would finish cultivating soon.


    Who knew that this guy was really shameless. The moment he cultivated, it was seven years!


    These seven years, the cultivation of the powerhouses below 2800 miles virtually did not make the slightest improvement!


    The resentment of the mountain full of powerhouses grew increasingly heavier. Riverword and Wild Blade almost could not bear it anymore.


    If Ye Yuan still did not wake up, they almost could not resist taking the initiative to wake Ye Yuan up anymore.


    Ye Yuan yawned and said with cupped fists, ��Seniors, sorry about it. This Ye was comprehending Dao here and forgot the time for a moment, truly sorry.��


    Said that he was sorry, Ye Yuan completely did not have an apologetic appearance.


    He relied on his ability to seize spiritual energy. So who did he bothered?


    This Eight Void Mountain was not opened by someone, right? Who set the rules to prohibit cultivation here?


    Ye Yuan was not an overbearing person, it was not worthwhile for him to blame himself for this sort of thing.


    Breaking through two minor realms in seven years, he was still very satisfied.


    On Eight Void Mountain, the group of Heavenly Emperors dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    Fortunately, it was only seven years. If Ye Yuan comprehended for 80 to 100 years here, they might as well go down the mountain.


    At this time, a figure slowly walked down from on top of the mountain.


    ��It��s Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun! What��s he finding that surnamed Ye for?��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun is Eight Void Mountain��s legend, an existence above 3500 miles, even more fearsome than Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye! Could it be that he��s looking for trouble? Heh, there��s a good show to watch now!��


    ��Want to find trouble, he would have long gone for it. Why would he wait for that surnamed Ye to finish cultivating?��


    �� ��


    The moment this figure came out, it immediately caused a stir.


    Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun was a terrifying existence above 3500 miles, his cultivation being terrifying to the extreme.


    Existences the likes of Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had to bow their heads in submission in front of him too.


    Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun slowly walked to the vicinity of Ye Yuan and opened his mouth and said, ��This old man is Xiu Yun. Little Friend Ye finished cultivating. So are you going down the mountain?��


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��I��m Ye Yuan, offering greetings to Senior Xiu Yun. What Senior said is right. This Ye is just about to go down the mountain!��


    Xiu Yun said, ��Little Friend Ye��s Formation Dao can move the gods, making this old man admire endlessly. I wonder where Little Friend Ye was taught? This old man wants to find a time to go and exchange views with Little Friend Ye. I wonder if I can?��


    The moment these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun, what kind of proud existence was he? He actually humbled himself in making acquaintances!


    Furthermore, his tone did not seem like addressing a junior, but like he was talking to a peer.


    Clearly, he felt that Ye Yuan already had this qualification!


    Toward such existences, Ye Yuan was long already used to it and naturally would not feel any feeling of being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor.


    At once, Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, ��This Ye came from Southern Border��s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma. If Senior Xiu Yun is interested in coming, I��ll naturally feel greatly honored by your gracious presence. Alright, this Ye still have important matters. I��ll take my leave first��


    Xiu Yun nodded slightly and said, ��Southern Border��s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, is it? Okay, this old man has noted it down.��


    At this time, he suddenly said in a clear voice, ��If you all covet Little Friend Ye��s Dao artifact, it��s becoming enemies with this Deva!��


    This voice instantly spread throughout Eight Void Mountain.


    The Heavenly Emperors who had formidable strength were actually eager for action in their hearts already.


    After all, the allure of a Dao artifact was too strong!


    Furthermore, as long as Ye Yuan left Eight Void Mountain��s powerful restrictions, he was just a measly little Empyrean Realm brat.


    With their late-stage Heavenly Emperor strength, why would they care about an Empyrean?


    But this sentence from Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun immediately dispelled their thoughts.


    Ye Yuan could be offended, but Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun? They could not afford to offend the latter!

 Chapter 2261 - Certain Death Scheme!

    With Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun��s awe, Ye Yuan swaggered out of Eight Void Mountain and left just like that.


    But even if there wasn��t Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun, he would not care either.


    Three great Deva Realm powerhouses pursued him for a trillion miles and failed to make him stay; let alone a few Heavenly Emperors?


    Presently, his strength made great improvements. Even if he was not a Heavenly Emperor��s match, escaping did not pose a problem.


    Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun naturally understood this as well. It was merely offering a convenient favor. That was all.


    At least, his one sentence could save Ye Yuan quite a bit of trouble.


    When the three people left Eight Void Mountain, Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said to Riverword with clasped hands, ��Senior, this Ye has other important matters and will take my leave here! If Senior is free, you can also come to Southern Border��s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma to find this Ye.��


    He and Riverword were chance acquaintances. Ye Yuan saving him was also just happening to be present on the occasion.


    Presently, Shui Yuan three people, two were dead and one seriously injured. It was impossible to find trouble with Riverword within a short time.


    Riverword was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerful existence. Even if he was presently crippled, he had the ability to protect himself too. It was naturally not nice for Ye Yuan to overstep his boundaries.


    If it was too deliberate, Riverword would even think that he had some devious thoughts.


    Riverword��s expression was complicated. Finally making up his mind, he handed the Limitless God Killing Bow to Ye Yuan and said, ��Little Friend Ye, this Limitless God Killing Bow, I��ll give to you!��


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, Riverword practically died, with his Dao dissipating, for the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    But now, he actually gave it to him?


    He shook his head and said with a smile, ��Senior, you don��t have to be like this. I didn��t save you for it.��


    But Riverword insisted: ��Little Friend Ye doesn��t have to worry too much. If you covet it, you didn��t need to save me at all. You could have just killed me back then! I��m giving it to you, firstly to thank your life-saving grace. Second, it��s that I��m already crippled. Wanting it is useless too. So might as well give it to you.��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Alright, then this Ye won��t be pretentious and accept it first. In the future, when Senior��s strength recovers, I��ll return it to you.��


    Riverword smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, ��I employed the power of my small world to escape with my life and already damaged my foundation. At present, my small world is already in ruins, becoming a dead world. How can I still recover my strength?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, rest assured. Heaven doesn��t cut off all roads! Leave your injuries to me.��


    Riverword trembled all over and looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��You have a way?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��A hundred over years ago, this Ye had once experienced a great battle, with my small world being completely devastated. Later, this Ye gained enlightenment on Dao and created the Chaos Samsara Pill. That was how I recovered. Senior��s injuries are largely identical with this Ye��s past injury, albeit having some minor differences. After this Ye breaks through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, as long as I find suitable rank eight spirit medicines, you can naturally recover!��


    Riverword��s eyes were originally gloomy. Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, he immediately had a hopeful look.


    ��This �� This �� Truly, heaven doesn��t cut off all roads! Being able to meet Little Friend Ye, heaven truly didn��t forsake me! Heaven truly didn��t forsake me!�� Riverword said with an agitated look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If Senior doesn��t have anywhere to go, why not go to my Heavenly Eagle and become a permanent resident?��


    Riverword nodded his head repeatedly and said, ��I��m all alone by myself without a tie in the world. So I��ll go together with you!��


    Finished talking, the three people set off once more, heading toward the Southern Border.


    �� ��


    Returning to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, it was already several months later.


    Ye Yuan ordered people to settle Riverword and Wild Blade down, and then he went to find Bai Tong.


    The reason why he came back was that he received Bai Tong��s summons.


    ��Brother Bai, what happened?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Bai Tong��s expression was rather ugly. Handing a jade slip to Ye Yuan, he said, ��You see for yourself.��


    Ye Yuan��s heart sank, having a foreboding premonition.


    Sure enough, after he looked through the things in the jade slip, his expression became extremely ugly.


    Ning Tianping was captured!


    Ye Yuan heard Ning Tianping say before, his master, Mo Lifei��s enemy, was called Li Zhaoqing, and was at the Eastern Border��s Skyfame Great Imperial Capital.


    But this Li Zhaoqing had merely a peak True God cultivation.


    Even if he broke through to Empyrean Realm, with Ning Tianping��s present strength, dealing with him should not be a problem.


    Before leaving, Ye Yuan gave Ning Tianping quite a number of Empyrean spirit treasures.


    Even if he could not win, running away should not be a problem.


    But did not expect that Ning Tianping was actually captured.


    The jade slip said that Mo Lifei was already killed and Ning Tianping was imprisoned.


    This was nothing much. What was strange was that the other party made Ye Yuan bring 50 rank seven divine pills to go and redeem him!


    Furthermore, it could only be Ye Yuan alone!


    Who the other party was, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest clue.


    But Ye Yuan was certain that it was not Li Zhaoqing.


    Just the likes of him did not have this ability.


    Ye Yuan dug deep within and thought of many possibilities, but also did not think of who it was.


    ��What do you think?�� Ye Yuan asked Bai Tong.


    Bai Tong had clearly already thought it over and said in a solemn voice, ��This is definitely a trap! Furthermore, the person who laid down the trap understands you very well! In my view, the medicinal pills are just a cover. Their real objective is you!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Tianping has followed me for so many years, I know his disposition. Even if he dies, he also won��t reveal any information about me. I��m afraid that right when Tianping left the city, he was already targeted.��


    Bai Tong��s face fell, and he said, ��No way, right? Could it be that �� we have a spy among us?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Heavenly Eagle developed too quickly these few years. Although the cohesion is very strong, wanting to watch over every aspect is clearly not too likely. It wasn��t a secret that Tianping and I left Heavenly Eagle. It��s also not strange that people knew. They don��t dare to take action against me. So they naturally thought of a plan for Tianping. The other part clearly knows me very well and definitely laid down an inescapable net, waiting for me.��


    Bai Tong��s expression changed and he said, ��Then �� Then what to do? Don��t go!��


    Ye Yuan gave Bai Tong a glance. The latter��s face turned red.


    He knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to not go.


    Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping were master and servant in name, but brothers in reality.


    Back then, Ye Yuan killed people in a rage for Jiang Ming who was a nobody.


    Now, his brother was in trouble. So how could he sit by idly and remain indifferent?


    ��Relax, the reason why they don��t dare to take action against me is clearly that they don��t have confidence. Moreover, I made great harvests going out this time. These are all outside of their expectations. But before this, I have to make some preparations,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Bai Tong was worried about his safety, he naturally would not blame Bai Tong.


    ��I��ll go together with you!�� Bai Tong said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You can��t go! There are definitely their informants inside and outside the city. Once they discover that you aren��t in the city, they will definitely kill the hostage.��


    Bai Tong��s brows furrowed, clearly being quite worried about Ye Yuan going alone.


    What he was worried about was if the other party had Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, forget about saving people, he would get captured himself too.


    As for spatial law, it was already something that everyone in this Southern Border knew about. The other party would definitely seal off the space around the area and not give Ye Yuan the chance to escape.


    This trap was a complete and utter scheme!


    You had to come whether or not you wanted to!


    Furthermore, the enemy was in the dark and Ye Yuan was in the light. This was virtually a certain death scheme.

 Chapter 2262 - A Stroke of Genius!

    Skyfame Great Imperial Capital was not the same as other cities, with endless streams of horses and carriages, being so crowded with people.


    Ye Yuan arrived outside the city gates and could not help being taken aback.


    A girl was standing there, already welcoming him.


    The girl greeted with folded hands at the lower right side and smiled brightly as she said, ��Xiyue has been waiting here for a long time. Sir seems to be very surprised to see Xiyue?��


    This woman was none other than the Rong Xiyue who he happened to meet once before!


    Rong Xiyue was Southridge Ten Nations�� Cloudjade Imperial City��s princess, who later entered Linghua Pavilion.


    Back then, she instigated behind the scenes to have people frame Jiang Jadehall.


    Later, under Ye Yuan��s compelling power, Rong Xiyue had no choice but to come over and extend a formal apology.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that it was actually this woman controlling everything at the back!


    What deep scheming!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re of the divine race!��


    At that time, Ye Yuan knew absolutely nothing about the divine race and did not detect Rong Xiyue��s abnormality.


    Meeting again now, he recognized it with one look.


    This time, it was Rong Xiyue��s turn to be surprised. She was first taken aback, and then she immediately smiled and said, ��Sir actually knows about the divine race! Then Xiyue needs to re-introduce herself! Divine race��s Hidden Lineage��s Divine Daughter, Rong Xiyue, pays respect to Sir Ye.��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched slightly. Yue Mengli being captured was to be this whatever Divine Daughter.


    He did not expect that he would actually encounter another Divine Daughter.


    A surge of killing intent immediately gushed out.


    Rong Xiyue was rather surprised by Ye Yuan��s reaction. It was still alright previously, but upon mentioning ��Divine Daughter�� two words, Ye Yuan��s expression immediately changed.


    ��Hidden Lineage! Looks like the divine race being suppressed in the Abyss World, your Hidden Lineage escaped a calamity!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Rong Xiyue said in surprise, ��Looks like sir knows a lot about the divine race��s secrets!��


    Ye Yuan said in a cold voice, ��Not just know, but this Ye even almost killed a Divine Son and the Profound Lineage��s ninth elder! Hope that you aren��t so unlucky to end up in my hands this time.��


    Rong Xiyue opened her mouth wide, a look of shock as she said, ��Profound Lineage��s ninth elder! Impossible! The nine elders are the strongest people in the race, with your strength, you can��t even survive one move under his hands at all!��


    Rong Xiyue naturally knew what kind of figures the nine elders were. So in her view, Ye Yuan��s boasting was a little too big.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Is that so? Isn��t the two world��s passageway about to link up soon? You can find Nineorigin to confirm it, see if I��m bragging or not. Also, you all have an ancestor called Daymeld. An arm was cut off by me. I don��t know where he ran to now.��


    Rong Xiyue��s face was full of shock. Those were all the divine race��s legendary class figures out of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Especially Daymeld, that was a peak powerhouse of the previous epoch!


    Absolutely not just anyone knew about these things.


    Furthermore, with her understanding of Ye Yuan, it was impossible for her to talk through her hat.


    Could it be that he really did it before?


    This was too scary!


    She drew a deep breath, her expression slightly awkward as she said, ��Sir, please follow me.��


    Ye Yuan followed Rong Xiyue into the city but discovered that the people in the city were few and far between.


    Furthermore, the people here were all very strange, a murderous aura faintly loomed on each person.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly recalling something.


    ��These people �� are all from the Deathsoul Gate? The Deathsoul Gate �� is your divine race��s organization?�� Ye Yuan suddenly paused his footsteps and asked.


    Rong Xiyue raised her eyebrows and praised, ��Really can��t hide anything from Sir Ye! That��s right. The Deathsoul Gate was single handedly established by our Hidden Lineage.��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��In that case, the ones who attacked Heavenly Eagle back then and wanted to bring me away, those were your people too?��


    Rong Xiyue did not hide it and nodded her head and said, ��That��s right. It was single handedly arranged by me.��


    Ye Yuan��s fury loomed and he said in a cold voice, ��Looks like this Ye��s grudges with the divine race are really quite a lot!��


    Rong Xiyue smiled sweetly and said, ��Sir Ye, rest assured. These grudges will be resolved very soon.��


    Ye Yuan looked at her and said, ��Looks like you��re very confident in being able to keep this Ye here!��


    Rong Xiyue smiled and said, ��In order to capture sir, Xiyue paid a considerable price! If this can��t keep Sir as well, Xiyue this Divine Daughter can��t carry on anymore.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then let��s wait and see.��


    Ye Yuan followed Rong Xiyue and arrived at the City Lord Manor.


    Upon entering the City Lord Manor, Ye Yuan detected that the nearby space was already thoroughly confined, unable to teleport at all.


    It seemed like what Rong Xiyue said was right. She really schemed for a long time in order to deal with him.


    Arriving in the hall, an old man slowly came up and bowed to Rong Xiyue and said, ��Your Highness, Divine Daughter!��


    Rong Xiyue nodded slightly and said, ��Uncle Song, Sir Ye has already been invited, but what surprised this Divine Daughter is that he actually understands our divine race very well. This makes things a little difficult for me.��


    Uncle Song was slightly surprised and said, ��Since that��s the case, kill and be done with it.��


    Rong Xiyue shook her head and said, ��Sir Ye is someone who is born in response to the general trend of situation. He is bound to be part of that group of people who decides the Heavenspan World��s direction in the future. If such a person can be utilized by me, he shall be a great aid to our divine race trampling the Heavenspan World! Sir Ye, do you know why I had to invite you over?��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly and he said, ��Why?��


    Rong Xiyue heaved a sigh and said, ��Actually, our mission is to take over the Extreme Nether Bodhidharma without a sound. But you rose too quickly, and you completely stirred up the waters of Extreme Nether Bodhidharma. Resulting to the current situation, the Southern Border became your world alone. The divine race��s plans in the Southern Border were all disrupted by you alone. However, this Divine Daughter admires you greatly.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��I want to see Ning Tianping!��


    Rong Xiyue smiled and said, ��Bluffed you, Ning Tianping isn��t here at all! You can��t see Ning Tianping. As long as you stay in Deathsoul Gate and do things for this Divine Daughter, he��ll be fine all the way. But, if you insist on opposing the divine race, then �� apologies.��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then I wonder, Your Highness Divine Daughter��s life and Ning Tianping��s life, which is more valuable?��


    ��Hehehe �� Sir Ye really loves to joke around. You seem to have forgotten, this place is my territory!�� Rong Xiyue laughed until she shook with laughter. It was as if she heard a very hilarious joke.


    ��Immobilize!��


    A cold cry came over, Rong Xiyue��s laughter abruptly stopped. Ye Yuan rushed toward Rong Xiyue like an arrow that left the bow.


    But right at this time, Dao marks inside the hall glimmered, and they actually cracked Ye Yuan��s Heavenly Dao True Word in an instant!


    Uncle Song��s figure flashed and directly clashed with Ye Yuan.


    Behind him, Rong Xiyue kept giggling away and said, ��Sir Ye underestimates Xiyue too much. Your Heavenly Dao True Word is famous throughout the Southern Border. So how can Xiyue not guard against it? Without the Heavenly Dao True Word, you��re like a tiger without teeth. I want to see how you��ll capture this Divine Daughter.��


    But right at this time, there was a blue blur before Uncle Song��s eyes. It was only to see countless swords appear in front of him, filling the entire hall.


    Uncle Song��s pupils constricted and he cried out in shock, ��Sword formation! A sword formation formed with a thousand Empyrean spirit treasures!��

 Chapter 2263 - What You Grasped Was Merely the Past Me!

    Within the hall, countless swords interwove to form a tight web, enveloping over toward Uncle Song.


    Empyrean spirit treasures were nothing in front of Heavenly Emperors.


    In fact, their casual blows could annihilate Empyrean spirit treasures.


    But a sword formation formed out of a thousand Empyrean spirit treasures was absolutely an unprecedentedly grand occasion!


    ��Thousand Absolute Extinction Sword Formation, kill!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, soul force pouring out frantically, controlling the flying swords to charge toward Uncle Song.


    This was one of the trump cards that Ye Yuan prepared!


    After seven years of enlightenment, Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao attainments already shocked even Deva Realm powerhouses.


    How powerful was the sword formation that he comprehended?


    This sword formation was formed by thousands of peak Empyrean spirit treasures. Its power was even more extraordinary.


    Presently, Ye Yuan sat on 60% of the Southern Border��s profits, his wealth rivaling a nation.


    Before coming, he spent a huge sum of money and bought 1024 flying swords from the Myriad Treasure Tower in one go through Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    At that time, it scared Empyrean Flutterfeather badly.


    This trump card could be said to be Ye Yuan��s strongest ace in the hole at the moment!


    This move fused Formation Dao source and Sword Dao source. The might of its power could already rival Heavenly Emperors!


    A thousand flying swords turned into one streak of light after another


    Eight-mark Heavenly Dao Realm, how powerful was it?


    Dao marks glimmered indeterminately on Uncle Song��s body, who already unleashed all of his abilities, attempting to rush out of the sword web.


    But he could not charge out at all.


    Although his attacks were powerful, this sword formation was like a quagmire. His strength was instantly cut into countless pieces.


    Formation Dao source plus Sword Dao source was not so easy to crack.


    If this move matched up against Empyreans, it was basically an instant kill.


    No matter how monstrous your strength was, there was also absolutely no possibility of surviving!


    In virtually an instant, a berserk power leveled the entire City Lord Manor to the ground.


    Heavenly Emperor level battle was not what an Empyrean level city lord manor could contend with at all.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was swift to the extreme, directly circling around Uncle Song, and charging over toward Rong Xiyue.


    It was quicker than words could convey.


    From Ye Yuan suddenly making a move to releasing the sword formation, then to Ye Yuan sneak attacking Rong Xiyue, it was merely a matter of an instant.


    Rong Xiyue thought that victory was within grasp but did not expect that Ye Yuan broke through Uncle Song in a blink of an eye, and arrived in front of her, scaring her until she turned pale from fear, and turned tail and ran.


    However, Rong Xiyue��s contingency was clearly more than just this.


    In the instant the city lord manor turned to dust, three powerful to the extreme auras appeared once more, arriving with a howl!


    Three human Heavenly Emperor powerhouses!


    These three great Heavenly Emperors were all the Deathsoul Gate��s upper echelons, all summoned by Rong Xiyue to deal with Ye Yuan.


    But they had not made a move yet and Ye Yuan already struck first to gain the advantage.


    The nearby space was sealed off. They were unable to teleport over and instead had Ye Yuan take the initiative.


    Getting caught in one��s own trap was talking about this, right?


    But Heavenly Emperors were Heavenly Emperors after all. With the three people��s speed, they were swift to the extreme, virtually rushing over in a blink of an eye.


    The three people each unleashed a big move. Terrifying power directly sent the houses within a radius of several miles all flying.


    Three great Heavenly Emperors relieving the besieged by besieging the besiegers, attacking the key points that Ye Yuan must defend, only to strive for a bit of time.


    Ye Yuan was in space and unable to save himself at all. He could only forcefully withstand this blow.


    But right then, a golden bow suddenly appeared in Ye Yuan��s hands. The momentum in the field changed again!


    An aura of Great Dao made the group of Heavenly Emperors change expressions abruptly.


    ��Dao artifact!�� The three great Heavenly Emperors as well as Rong Xiyue were all extremely shocked when they saw the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest hesitation, crying out loudly, ��Sword come!��


    Bow arched, sword notched!


    A terrifying surge of power instantly thrashed out!


    Presently, Ye Yuan already broke through to become an Eighth Firmament Empyrean. His divine essence reserve was more than ten times stronger compared to before.


    The power of this arrow was also formidable to the extreme.


    What was even more fatal was that the three great Heavenly Emperors were too close to Ye Yuan!


    In the past, Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye was several million miles away and was even seriously injured by this arrow, let alone these three people?


    It was only to hear a loud bang. The three great Heavenly Emperors spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, figures directly being blasted flying out.


    But Ye Yuan borrowed the recoil force and flew even faster towards Rong Xiyue.


    ��Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!��


    Only to hear a dragon roar, the spirit of a true dragon suddenly descended, a foot stepping down.


    Rumble!


    Rong Xiyue hurriedly turned around to block, but with her strength, how could she be Ye Yuan��s match?


    This foot directly kicked her until she spewed fresh blood wildly.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly caught up, hands moving like lightning, thoroughly sealing Rong Xiyue away before letting out a long sigh in relief.


    From him making a move until now, merely two breaths of time passed.


    Everything developed too quickly.


    Ye Yuan virtually used all of his trump cards in an instant.


    Trapping the divine race, defeating Heavenly Emperors, imprisoning the Divine Daughter!


    All of the actions were completed in one go!


    Ye Yuan dispelled the sword formation, his entire person already like he was hauled out of the water, long already drenched completely.


    These two breaths of time practically exhausted all of his strength.


    Rong Xiyue looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment, her face not daring to believe it.


    How did he do it?


    An Empyrean Realm powerhouse defeated four Heavenly Emperor experts in a blink of an eye and captured her.


    This sort of thing was really too inconceivable.


    Uncle Song looked at the ghastly wounds on his body and drew a cold breath.


    A human Empyrean used a sword formation and hurt him!


    Before this, Her Highness Divine Daughter said that one must not lower their guard when dealing with Ye Yuan, and they had to bet it all on one throw.


    Hence, Rong Xiyue redeployed three of the Deathsoul Gate��s Heavenly Emperor experts from various places.


    Toward Rong Xiyue��s way of doing things, he still felt very disdainful at that time.


    Just a mere Empyrean brat, with him around, was it worth kicking up such a big fuss over nothing?


    However, Rong Xiyue told him that the clan was currently in need of manpower.


    Otherwise, she would deploy Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors, even Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses over!


    But earlier, Ye Yuan used two breaths of time to tell him that their kicking up of a fuss was still not enough!


    This human was completely different from the humans in his impression!


    ��I �� I still underestimated you! Your strength improved too quickly!�� Rong Xiyue said with a bitter smile.


    She had always paid a lot of attention to Ye Yuan, and she could be said to know all about him.


    Ye Yuan made a grand display of invincible might at the Southern Border, fighting until the Southern Border Alliance threw away their helmet and coat of mail in utter disarray. So how could she be unaware?


    Spatial law, Heavenly Dao True Word, so on and so forth, she knew all about it.


    Therefore, she made meticulously done preparations to lure Ye Yuan over this time.


    But it still failed.


    Ye Yuan captured her alive under the besiegement of four great Heavenly Emperors!


    Ye Yuan��s terrifying sword formation as well as Dao artifact far exceeded her expectations.


    She wanted to capture Ye Yuan, but she did not expect to throw herself in.


    Ye Yuan��s palm pressed at the back of Rong Xiyue, and he said calmly, ��Actually, before I came, I didn��t have confidence either. But after seeing you, I felt confident in my heart. You want to show off in front of me, and wash away the humiliation of yesteryear. You thought that you grasped everything and understood everything about me, but you don��t know that my strength is improving every minute, every second.��


    ��What you grasped was merely the past me!��

 Chapter 2264 - Secret of the Divine Race

    ��Someone like you is too dangerous! Looks like I shouldn��t have thought about soliciting you!��


    Rong Xiyue��s face was full of bitter smiles. Her estimation of Ye Yuan was already as high as possible.


    One could say that even a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse would find it hard to escape her control too.


    But who could have thought that a measly Empyrean defeated four great Heavenly Emperors in an instant, and took her prisoner?


    ��Too late! Bring me to go find Ning Tianping!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Rong Xiyue shook her head and said, ��I��ve already imprisoned him in the clan. You can detain me here and have Uncle Song bring him here!��


    He wanted to use Ning Tianping to blackmail Ye Yuan, and then to render him for her use.


    Therefore, she had the idea of imprisoning Ning Tianping long-term and sent him to the clan.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��No need. I��ll go together with you all!��


    Rong Xiyue��s gaze turned sharp and she said in a cold voice, ��Impossible! My Hidden Lineage has been living in seclusion for as long as a trillion years. No outsider has ever gone in before. If you go, I��ll be the Hidden Lineage��s sinner!��


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��There��s always an exception. Since your Hidden Lineage has already come out of seclusion, how long more can you remain hidden? At this point, going or not isn��t up to you anymore.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan tapped on Rong Xiyue��s back, the latter involuntarily opened her mouth and Ye Yuan directly threw a medicinal pill in.


    ��You!�� Rong Xiyue looked at Ye Yuan with a look of shock and anger.


    ��This medicinal pill is called Adversity Lifechasing Pill. It is a poison that I specially refined. This poison is akin to bone-festering maggots. It will burrow into every inch of your flesh after entering the body, unable to be purged at all. Furthermore, after your body is completely necrotic, it will even take effect on your divine soul, making your soul disintegrate, never to reincarnate for all of eternity. You should know my Alchemy Dao strength. If you don��t believe me, you can give it a try,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Making Rong Xiyue swallow the poison, Ye Yuan did not care about her anymore.


    Her life and death was already in his control.


    Rong Xiyue smiled coldly and said, ��You think that I��ll be threatened by you? Even if I die, I also won��t bring you to the clan!��


    Ye Yuan stared at Rong Xiyue, looking until the latter felt her hair stand on end.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Looks like you still haven��t given up! Your divine race only has one Divine Son and one Divine Daughter for every lineage. They are all existences that will become Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm and above in the future. Your divine race, you are few in population to begin with. Even though you��ve recuperated and built up energy for many years, it��s probably less than one-ten-thousandth of the human race too, right? I wonder how great an impact a Divine Daughter dying will have on your Hidden Lineage?��


    If there was no battle with Nineorigin, Ye Yuan also would not know so many things about the divine race.


    Divine Sons and Divine Daughters were extremely hard to come by, they could be said to be the lineage��s future.


    Some inklings of this could be seen from Nineorigin��s attitude toward Yue Mengli.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was certain that the Hidden Lineage definitely would not sit idly by and watch Rong Xiyue die.


    Sure enough, Rong Xiyue��s expression turned stiff, and she was immediately like a ball that deflated.


    ��Alright, you win!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I also want another person! Li Zhaoqing should be a member of the Deathsoul Gate, right?��


    This Skyfame Great Imperial Capital already became the headquarters of the Deathsoul Gate. Very clearly, Li Zhaoqing was a member of the Deathsoul Gate.


    In fact, Ye Yuan suspected that Mo Lifei and Li Zhaoqing��s grudge back then was sowed when the Deathsoul Gate��s moved out back then.


    Mo Lifei died, his Dao dissipating, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul and escaping.


    Rong Xiyue nodded and said, ��Uncle Song, you take care of this matter.��


    Uncle Song was helpless and could only comply.


    �� ��


    Middle Realm, Windrise Great Imperial Capital.


    This was a great imperial capital under Heavenly Emperor Ziyun��s command, a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor. It was incomparably flourishing.


    Ye Yuan followed Rong Xiyue and arrived at the busiest inn in Windrise Great Imperial Capital, arriving at the best room.


    Rong Xiyue took out a jade ornament and pushed the door and entered.


    Ye Yuan felt himself pass through a thin membrane, and it was another world in front of him.


    This scene made Ye Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder.


    ��Capable people hope to rely on the surrounding environment to forget about worldly affairs, well-deserving of being the Hidden Lineage; indeed have a knack.�� Ye Yuan marveled with admiration.


    With his spatial law and Formation Dao attainments, he did not even discover that a small world was hidden behind this door.


    Most likely, it was even less likely for the Heavenspan World��s major powers to know that the powerful divine race was hidden right under their eyelids.


    Rong Xiyue shot him a glare and said in a chilly voice, ��For a trillion years, you��re the first human to enter this place! But you don��t be happy too early as well, the small world��s entrance changes frequently. Since you entered, this entrance won��t open anymore in the future.��


    ��Your divine race is so powerful. Why would there be a Hidden Lineage like you all?�� Ye Yuan suddenly asked.


    ��Although the divine race is powerful, propagation is too difficult! Many powerhouses completely don��t have progenies after living for a trillion years. In order to maintain the propagation of the race, an ancestor of our divine race proposed to start another lineage outside of the eight lineages, which is the Hidden Lineage. The significance of our Hidden Lineage��s existence is for the sake of the propagation of the race,�� Rong Xiyue did not conceal it either as she said.


    But Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he asked, ��Propagation? Isn��t it very difficult for your divine race to propagate? Could it be that starting an independent lineage can multiply?��


    Rong Xiyue gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, ��Our divine race is a race that��s blessed by heaven. Apart from our own propagation, there��s still a portion that comes from the Heavenspan World��s various races. Human race, demon race, fiend race, and other races all have an extremely small chance of giving birth to a divine race member. It��s just that this chance is far too low. Some people won��t even awaken all their life! Our Hidden Lineage��s mission is to find these people and make them awaken, obtaining Heavenly Dao��s recognition! Back then, when you returned to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, my divine race bloodline had just awakened not long and was chosen to be the Hidden Lineage��s Divine Daughter, that��s why my strength would advance by leaps and bounds.��


    Hearing what Rong Xiyue said, Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly, monstrous waves surging in his heart.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Rong Xiyue was very surprised too.


    In her impression, Ye Yuan was always calm and composed.


    Even when facing the besieging of four great Heavenly Emperors, his expression did not change too.


    What was with this now?


    ��How can it be? How can it be?�� Ye Yuan muttered to himself, battered out of his senses.


    ��What��s wrong with you?�� Rong Xiyue asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan trembled all over. Grabbing hold of Rong Xiyue, he asked fiercely, ��Could it be that divine race powerhouses will also be born in small worlds?��


    Rong Xiyue nodded and said, ��That��s of course! Although this chance is extremely, extremely low, in a trillion small worlds, the living things can��t even be calculated in quadrillions. Such a large cardinal number, there will naturally be countless divine race powerhouses born every day. It��s just that in small worlds, the lifespan of martial artists is too short. And our divine race��s numbers are scarce, our energy limited, and are simply unable to attend to it. Otherwise, how can our divine race��s status be what the human race can shake?��


    Crack! Crack!


    Ye Yuan��s finger joints clenched until they creaked, his entire body trembling.


    He had always been curious; why Nineorigin would settle on Yue Mengli and choose her as Divine Daughter?


    It turned out that Li-er was actually really a member of the divine race!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan felt lost, his entire person like it was drained empty.

 Chapter 2265 - Who was More Lowly?

    Ye Yuan and Li-er had always marched forward hand-in-hand, and he naturally knew her background.


    He completely did not believe that Li-er was part of the divine race.


    She was clearly a human. So how could she possibly become a Divine Daughter of the divine race?


    But Rong Xiyue��s words completely subverted Ye Yuan��s understanding!


    ��Soul and flesh fusing into one? Could it be soul and flesh fusing into one?�� Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and gritted his teeth and said.


    ��That��s right, a distinguishing trait of the divine race is soul and flesh unification! But the compatibility of soul and flesh unification is different, the physique will be different too, and the cultivation potential will also be different. The higher the compatibility, the more one can get Heavenly Dao��s recognition, and the faster the cultivation speed too. The divine race doesn��t cultivate the world. We only cultivate Heavenly Dao! C-Cough!�� Rong Xiyue said.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, choking Rong Xiyue��s neck firmly.


    An unrestrained killing intent instantly burst forth.


    ��What dogshit divine race! You all are merely humans too! It��s just that the cultivation method you cultivate is different! Having a high and mighty appearance all day long, do you think that you��re very impressive? If I want to kill you, it��s the same as killing a dog!��


    ��C-Cough, cough �� Let �� Let go of me!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes were blood-red. A berserk killing intent pressured Rong Xiyue until she was virtually unable to breathe.


    She did not understand why Ye Yuan would suddenly become like this.


    A berserk killing intent billowed to the sky, alarming the powerhouses in the small world very quickly.


    In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen powerful auras appeared at the entrance area. They were shockingly all Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm divine race powerhouses.


    When everyone saw a human actually clutching the neck of Divine Daughter, with a murderous look, they could not help being alarmed and furious.


    A divine race powerhouse said in a chilly voice, ��Insolence! A lowly human dares to act atrociously on my divine race��s territory? Quickly let go of Her Highness Divine Daughter! Otherwise, I��ll make you die without a burial ground!��


    One powerful aura after another locked onto Ye Yuan firmly. As long as he acted rashly without careful consideration, they would immediately kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely at that Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse.


    That was just an initial-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, his strength similar to Uncle Song.


    ��Lowly human? Huhu! Divine race��s major power, let this Ye take a look at how much capability you have, to dare talk wildly like so!��


    Ye Yuan did not say another word, over a thousand flying swords instantly came out, rushing over towards that divine race powerhouse.


    In virtually an instant, that divine race powerhouse was swept into the sword formation.


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan controlled the flying swords, transforming them into a sword rain that filled the entire sky, rending apart frantically.


    When the other divine race powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of them was wildly in shock.


    An Empyrean Realm human actually fought with the divine race��s Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses until neither could gain the upper hand!


    ��What a powerful sword formation! What thick divine essence! Such astonishing soul force!��


    ��There is still such a powerful existence among humans?��


    ��How is it possible? Our divine race is the supreme race among the Heavenspan World��s myriad races! How can a lowly human possibly be so strong?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s realm was naturally beneath their notice.


    But the combat power that Ye Yuan exhibited made them all draw cold breaths.


    If Ye Yuan was in the same realm as them, killing them would merely be a matter of raising a hand!


    No, no need to be in the same realm.


    Even if it was a realm lower, they also did not dare say that they could be Ye Yuan��s match.


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed was this formidable!


    Powerful until it made these divine race powerhouses endlessly terrified too!


    Suddenly, the few of them exchanged a look, all revealing a hint of killing intent.


    But at this time, Rong Xiyue finally caught her breath and hurriedly yelled, ��Clan elders, you mustn��t kill him!��


    A late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerful existence frowned and said, ��Your Highness Divine Daughter, what happened? Why did you bring a human to the False Divine World?��


    Rong Xiyue bit her lips lightly and said with a bitter smile, ��Uncle Ming, he��s called Ye Yuan. He��s a human Alchemy Dao powerhouse. I originally set up a trap, wanting to solicit him. Who knew that he actually captured me alive under the pincer attacks of Uncle Song and three human Heavenly Emperors! Now, I��m inflicted with his poison and can only be at his whims.��


    ��What?!��


    Those divine race powerhouses all cried out in surprise, their faces not daring to believe it.


    Uncle Ming said in shock, ��Four rank eight powerhouses! There��s even a divine race among them! H-How did he do it?��


    Heavenly Emperors were invincible. This was not just common knowledge in the human world. It was similarly the common view of the divine race.


    It was impossible for Seven-marks Heavenly Dao Realm to defeat Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, even if it was a Divine Son or Divine Daughter, it would not work either.


    Ye Yuan rivaling an Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm was already sufficiently shocking.


    But Rong Xiyue said that he captured Rong Xiyue alive under the pincer attacks of four great Heavenly Emperors.


    This battle achievement was seriously too astonishing.


    At this time, an old figure slowly walked out.


    Rong Xiyue��s expression changed, and she bowed down, ��Xiyue admits her error and asks Third Elder Ru Feng for punishment!��


    This old person was the rank third powerhouse among the Hidden Clan��s nine elders!


    ��Your Highness Divine Daughter, you were �� too reckless this time!�� Ru Feng said.


    Rong Xiyue nodded slightly and said, ��Yes, Xiyue will ask for punishment from Head Elder!��


    But Ru Feng��s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan, his gaze radiating a brilliant light.


    Clearly, this human��s power greatly exceeded his understanding.


    Ye Yuan��s battle with the divine race powerhouse, the scales were already gradually leaning toward Ye Yuan��s side.


    Under the frenzied attacks of Ye Yuan��s sword formation, the other party��s strength was already somewhat faltering, defeat or even being killed was something inevitable.


    In the battle with Uncle Song previously, Ye Yuan��s sword formation only wanted to trap him, and he did not deploy full strength.


    Furthermore, at that time, Ye Yuan was multi-tasking, and he also had a large amount of energy held up. It was naturally impossible to go all out.


    But even so, Uncle Song was still injured.


    But now, under Ye Yuan��s sullen anger, his combat strength was fearsome to the extreme, completely unleashing the power of the Thousand Absolute Extinction Sword Formation without holding back in the slightest. How astonishing was the power?


    Ru Feng��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a clear voice, ��Young Friend, please stop, we can talk things through.��


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him. Instead, his mind stirred and the power of the sword formation became even stronger.


    Ru Feng gave a cold snort, pointed a finger out, Dao marks flashed.


    A terrifying power assaulted Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was currently going crazy when suddenly, alarm bells went off, and he hurriedly urged the sword formation to block.


    A myriad sword lights coiled around before barely managing to block this burst of power.


    It was also Ru Feng who did not dare to overly offend Ye Yuan. Otherwise, his one strike, Ye Yuan would die without a doubt.


    The sword formation dispelled. The pressure on that divine race powerhouse eased up and intense pain came from his body.


    At this time, the clothing on his body was long already shredded into ribbons by the sword lights.


    He was covered in bleeding wounds from head to toe.


    Although it was not fatal, the injuries were not light either.


    Realising Ru Feng was there, that divine race powerhouse could not help turning red.


    He, an exalted divine race��s Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, actually lost to a human Empyrean Realm martial artist.


    This matter would probably become a standing joke in the clan.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a sneer, ��Divine race��s powerhouse, you��re a major realm higher than me, but you can��t even beat me, this lowly human. If I am so, then what are you considered then?��


    That divine race powerhouse wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. Ye Yuan��s words were really too sarcastic.

 Chapter 2266 - Bullying the Divine Race for Having No One!

    Face slapping!


    A blatant face slapping!


    Ye Yuan viciously dealt a slap in front of a group of divine race Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses.


    The divine race was incomparably proud and completely did not place other races in their sights.


    But now, there was a human that they looked down on who jumped a major realm and defeated a divine race powerhouse.


    What else was more ironic than this?


    Ru Feng��s expression was very ugly and he endured his anger as he said, ��This young friend, no matter how heaven-defying you are, you��re also merely just at the Empyrean Realm! It��s still not your turn to come and act wildly in my Divine Clan!��


    Ye Yuan shot him a glance and said with a cold smile, ��You��re one of the nine Hidden Clan elders, right? Stop posing in front of this Ye! It��s not like this Ye hasn��t exchanged blows with someone like you before. Wasn��t he still forcefully knocked down a major realm by me and almost died?��


    Ye Yuan was not someone who liked to flaunt his prowess, but his heart was currently very tumultuous, with his belly full of evil fire with nowhere to give vent. He needed to find an outlet to vent out.


    The divine race was the best relief outlet.


    Let alone that what he said was the truth.


    Even if it was the nine elders, what qualifications did they have to posture in front of him?


    When he fought with Nineorigin, Nineorigin was at his peak state but was forcefully knocked down a major realm by Ye Yuan.


    Now that Ye Yuan��s strength was no idea how many times stronger than that time, at the risk of seriously damaging his small world, it was not like he had no chance of finishing Ru Feng off.


    How exalted was Ru Feng��s status? When had he been opposed by people like this before?


    He gave a cold snort and said angrily, ��Brat, it��s got to go through your head when you��re bragging too! If not for having misgivings with regards to Divine Daughter, you��d already be a dead man now! Come, men! Bring that imprisoned human here!��


    ��No need, I��ll go personally!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Ru Feng said in a cold voice, ��No way! How can my Hidden Clan��s sacred land be blasphemed by you, a human?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That��s not up to you!��


    Ru Feng was angered until his beard billowed, and he glared as he said furiously, ��Brat, don��t think too highly of yourself! Could it be that you think my divine race doesn��t have alchemists?��


    Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look, ��I��ll give you a chance. You bring Rong Xiyue to go and detoxify the poison, and I��ll go and meet Ning Tianping. If you can resolve Rong Xiyue��s poison, what��s the harm in me and Ning Tianping staying here?��


    Arrogant!


    Showing contempt!


    Ye Yuan was bullying the divine race for having no one!


    Ru Feng said with a cold smile, ��Ignorant and impudent! This old man will let you die wholeheartedly convinced! Kong Ming, you bring this boy to go meet that human, I��ll bring Divine Daughter to go detoxify the poison!��


    Kong Ming bowed and said, ��Yes, Third Elder!��


    Rong Xiyue looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, not knowing why he would suddenly have a great change in temperament.


    She could feel that Ye Yuan was extremely averse toward the divine race.


    Furthermore, he had even fought with divine race powerhouses before.


    Could it be that he had his closed ones die in the hands of the divine race?


    Sending Ye Yuan away with his eyes, Ru Feng said to Rong Xiyue, ��This brat��s arrogance is even greater than his strength! This old man hasn��t had killing intent aroused for so many years. It��s the first time today!��


    Rong Xiyue smiled bitterly and said, ��He originally wasn��t like this. No idea why just now, he suddenly became like this!��


    Ru Feng waved his hand and said, ��Doesn��t matter anymore. Either way, he��s already a dead man! Come, go with me to detoxify the poison.��


    After talking, Ru Feng brought Rong Xiyue and returned to the clan.


    The divine race had many alchemy powerhouses too. Logically speaking, Rong Xiyue should be very confident.


    But no idea why, she kept feeling that it would not be so easy.


    For Ye Yuan to dare come with her, it showed that he was very confident in this poison.


    Was Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength really even more formidable than those Eight-marks powerhouses in the clan?


    �� ��


    A Hidden Clan��s medicinal hut.


    It was the place where the Hidden Clan��s alchemy path powerhouses normally studied medicinal pills.


    The divine race��s alchemy path was a unique school of thought, but they were mostly from various races. Hence, the essence of alchemy path was mostly the same.


    At this time, inside the medicinal hut, the Hidden Clan��s numerous Eight-star Alchemy Gods were gathered together, planning on detoxifying Rong Xiyue��s poison.


    Even though Ye Yuan considered everything and everyone beneath his notice, his strength was placed there, Ru Feng really did not dare to underestimate.


    Therefore, those he called over were all the Hidden Clan��s alchemy bigshots.


    ��Lin Yi, you��re the most proficient in detoxifying poison. You help Divine Daughter to take a look!�� Ru Feng said to an old man.


    The old man nodded slightly and said with disdain, ��Leave it to me! A human Empyrean Realm child, what powerful poison can he refine? Third Elder, I think that you can go and execute that punk right now! I heard that that punk was very arrogant.��


    Ru Feng frowned and said, ��Better take a look first. Divine Daughter said that this boy is very formidable. It is best to be careful.��


    Lin Yi had a disdainful look and placed his hand on Rong Xiyue��s wrist, and he started reading her pulse.


    Everyone quietened down, casting their gazes toward Lin Yi.


    Lin Yi��s face originally had a look of contempt.


    But gradually, even he did not notice that his look of disdain gradually faded away, and what replaced it was a solemn expression on his face.


    Following that, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, becoming heavily wrinkled.


    The mood of the surrounding crowd also became increasingly more tense along with his brows.


    ��How can it be? How can it be?�� Lin Yu repeatedly shook his head and said.


    Seeing Lin Yi let go, even though he knew that there was no hope, Ru Feng still asked.


    ��How is it?��


    Lin Yi shook his head and said, ��This poison is so formidable! This old man �� can��t cure it! This toxicity has already fused into one with Her Highness Divine Daughter��s fleshly body. Unless Her Highness Divine Daughter abandons her fleshly body, otherwise, there��s no way to cure it at all!��


    At this time, an old man who was sitting at the side said with a disbelieving look, ��What a joke! Can there still be a poison that can��t be cured in this world? No matter how powerful the poison, there��s a method to cure it!��


    After talking, he also started to diagnose Rong Xiyue��s condition.


    When Lin Yi saw this, he said, ��Zhao Cheng��s medicinal path is extremely strong. He might have a way.��


    Ru Feng nodded his head and could only wait for Zhao Cheng��s diagnosis.


    But the change in expression on his face was virtually cut from the same cloth as Lin Yi��s.


    Finally, it turned into a long sigh and he shook his head and said, ��This poison, this old man can��t cure it!��


    Ru Feng naturally did not give up and had these alchemy experts take turns to diagnose Rong Xiyue.


    But the final outcome was exactly the same.


    Toward this poison, they were all at a loss on what to do.


    In the beginning, Ru Feng was still brimming with confidence. But later, he finally understood how terrifying this poison was.


    The poison that a human Empyrean refined, no one in the entire Hidden Lineage could cure it!


    He was previously still pledging in all solemnity in front of Ye Yuan, who knew that he had his face slapped in a blink of an eye.


    Rong Xiyue��s expression also dimmed. But compared to the rest, she was mentally prepared long ago.


    Having these people look was merely looking for psychological comfort.


    She knew that Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills were already hiked to a sky-high price in the Southern Border. The price was even higher than heavenly emperor spirit treasures!


    Even rank eight divine pills were not as valuable as Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills too.


    How could the poison that such an alchemy expert refined be easy to resolve?


    If it was really easy to cure, would Ye Yuan be silly enough to take the initiative to come to the Hidden Clan with her?


    Ru Feng��s expression was very dark. At the thought of Ye Yuan��s gloating face, he almost wanted to vomit blood.


    He gathered the alchemy powerhouses in the entire clan, attempting to slap Ye Yuan��s face.


    Who knew that in the end, he was slapped resoundingly!

 Chapter 2267 - Taken Down!

    Seeing Ning Tianping, Ye Yuan��s anger that had just subsided surged up with a whoosh again.


    The current Ning Tianping was nailed onto a cross by four nails.


    The four nails emitted powerful undulations, they were clearly not ordinary objects.


    Ning Tianping was covered in blackish-red bloodstains from top to bottom, without an intact spot.


    Feeling the murderous aura coming off of Ye Yuan��s body, Kong Ming went on alert.


    He had witnessed before Ye Yuan��s strength, once this boy went berserk, he would really be not easy to handle.


    However, Ye Yuan did not explode. Instead, he walked in front of Ning Tianping step by step, and pulled off the nails on his four limbs. Ye Yuan carried him on his back and slowly walked out.


    Seeing this scene, Kong Ming��s heart eased up slightly.


    Luckily, this brat knew to be scared.


    Leaving the dungeon, Kong Ming said, ��Now that the person is already handed to you, you can go and remove the poison in Divine Daughter��s body already, right?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly grinned.


    Kong Ming was startled inwardly, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    Inside the dungeon, a series of tragic cries suddenly came over.


    Kong Ming��s expression changed wildly, and he yelled angrily, ��When did you �� damn it!��


    He rushed in to take a look, miserable screams lingered in the ears inside the dungeon, countless flying swords were wandering around inside the dungeon.


    The flying swords seemed to have eyes, killing people on sight, there was no way to avoid them at all.


    In just this short while, the guards and prisoners inside the dungeon were already pretty much dead.


    A thousand over flying swords, how many were there to be enough for Ye Yuan to kill?


    Below Heavenly Emperor, no one could block Ye Yuan��s one sword at all!


    In a blink, Ye Yuan killed off the divine race members inside the dungeon, sparing none!


    When he just came out, Ye Yuan quietly hid the flying swords inside the void with a spatial mystic art.


    With Kong Ming��s spatial law attainments, he was unable to detect it at all.


    After they came out of the dungeon, Ye Yuan suddenly activated his sword formation and killed off all the people in the dungeon in a blink of an eye.


    Finished massacring, the flying swords flew out of the dungeon obediently.


    Kong Ming gave an angry roar and bellowed, ��Impudent thing!Do you really take it that this old man doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    The divine race��s members, each one was extremely precious.


    The Hidden Lineage had searched in the Heavenspan World for no idea how many years, and they were very meticulous and careful, akin to treading on thin ice. That was how they acquired such a number of powerhouses.


    What a terrific fellow! Ye Yuan killed several hundred clan members in one go, so how could Kong Ming not be furious?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Sorry about that. With the likes of you, you really don��t have this ability! Just take this today as a bit of interest. My scores with your divine race still have yet to be settled!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan took a step and directly shuttled into the void.


    Kong Ming��s gaze turned intent, his expression becoming incomparably ugly as he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��What profound spatial law! This boy��s means are really a lot!��


    Done talking, his figure moved, chasing after.


    Ye Yuan arrived in the clan, but he just happened to see Ru Feng bringing Rong Xiyue out.


    As for the rest, they had already left respectively.


    Ye Yuan had a cold look, carrying Ning Tianping and walking by them, heading straight in the direction of the medicinal hut.


    Ru Feng could not help choking, this boy directly treated them as air!


    Suddenly, Ru Feng was startled and said, ��Where��s Kong Ming?��


    His voice had yet to fade when Kong Ming rushed over, his expression ugly as he said, ��Third Elder, this brat he �� he ����


    Ru Feng��s face fell and he said, ��What did he do?��


    ��He secretly hid flying swords in the void. After we exited the dungeon, he released the flying swords and killed all of the clan members in the dungeon!�� Kong Ming said with uncontrollable rage.


    ��WHAT?!�� Everyone cried out in shock.


    Immediately, Ru Feng��s fury billowed to the sky. A powerful to the extreme pressure enveloped Ye Yuan firmly.


    ��Boy, could it be that you really take it that this elder doesn��t dare to kill you?�� His figure moved, blocking Ye Yuan��s path as he said angrily.


    Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance. A strange curve suddenly curled at the corner of his mouth.


    Not knowing why, Ru Feng��s heart suddenly thumped, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    While right at this time, a young man dressed in the appearance of a medicine boy ran over and exclaimed in alarm, ��Third Elder, things are bad! Master he �� he��s poisoned!��


    As that medicine boy said, a cloud of black gas suddenly emerged from his body, then he fell to the ground, convulsing endlessly.


    Before long, he kicked the bucket.


    Seeing this scene, Ru Feng only felt a chill run down his back.


    The medicine boy��s master was none other than precisely Lin Yi!


    Lin Yi was poisoned!


    Before he could react, another medicine boy ran over, and he said roughly the same words as the one before.


    In a blink, he also fell to the ground and croaked.


    Ru Feng��s head suddenly exploded and he roared angrily at Ye Yuan, ��What the hell did you do?!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Those who take the Adversity Lifechasing Pill, every inch of their skin and flesh will be poisoned from head to toe. And she will become a source of poison. For those who have had physical contact with her before, the poison will spread to that person through the skin. And once it spreads, the toxicity will become a hundred times stronger than the poison source! Furthermore, the toxicity will spread through heaven and earth spiritual energy! You rest assured, with the physique of the divine race, middle-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm and above will be fine. But for those below, huhu.��


    This ��huhu�� was akin to a sledgehammer, smashing onto Ru Feng��s chest.


    He suddenly came to a realization. Ye Yuan was deliberately provoking him previously, making him find people to cure Rong Xiyue��s poison.


    It was for this very moment right now!


    The toxicity could spread through heaven and earth spiritual energy, furthermore, it was colorless and tasteless, even a powerhouse like Lin Yi did not notice it.


    This poison was simply too terrifying!


    ��You �� This elder will kill you!�� Ru Feng roared angrily and was about to make a move and kill.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Each additional second you delay here, the Hidden Lineage will have many more people die. Moreover, if you have confidence in curing the poison, you can very well take action.��


    Rumble!


    Ru Feng��s palm smacked down, smashing a large pit beside Ye Yuan, dirt and soil flying everywhere.


    Ye Yuan��s eyelids did not even bat, he just looked at Ru Feng indifferently.


    Ru Feng gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Consider yourself ruthless!��


    Done talking, his figure moved, vanishing from where he was.


    Ye Yuan was expressionless, continuing forward, walking in the direction of the medicinal hut.


    To Ye Yuan, he could find the whereabouts of the medicinal hut even if he closed his eyes.


    Rong Xiyue��s complexion was ashen pale. Only then did she know how terrifying of a figure Ye Yuan was.


    Her brain must have short-circuited, to provoke an existence like this!


    At the behest of supernatural powers, she followed Ye Yuan to the medicinal hut.


    Ye Yuan entered the medicinal hut, placed Ning Tianping on the table, and started looking for spirit medicines inside the medicinal hut with familiarity, like in his own home.


    Ning Tianping��s injuries were severe, very severe!


    Those four nails were four Empyrean spirit treasure level treasures, continuously wrecking and torturing Ning Tianping.


    But it would not let him die.


    Ning Tianping hung in there with one breath all the way until now.


    Luckily it was Ye Yuan. If it were others, even if they rescued Ning Tianping, he would be a dead man too.


    However, with Ye Yuan��s means, bringing him back to life also needed to expend considerable effort.


    Fortunately, spirit medicines were the least lacking in the medicinal hut. Ye Yuan started nursing Ning Tianping��s injuries with utmost care.

 Chapter 2268 - One Person Suppressing the Divine Race!

    ��Y-Your Excellency! W-Why are you here?��


    When Ning Tianping opened his eyes and saw Ye Yuan, he was incomparably surprised. He was about to struggle and get up, but Ye Yuan hurriedly held him down and said sternly, ��Lie down properly! Don��t move!��


    Ning Tianping just woke up. The injuries on his body were still far from well.


    This time, Ning Tianping was severely injured and was only hanging in there with one breath. It was naturally impossible to get well quickly.


    When he saw Rong Xiyue, Ning Tianping realized what happened very soon.


    Ning Tianping��s expression dimmed and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Your Excellency, I �� I��ve caused trouble for you!��


    He came to take revenge for his master this time. Who knew that he burrowed into the Deathsoul Gate��s sphere of influence all of a sudden.


    Mo Lifei also got killed in order to protect him.


    After he was captured by Rong Xiyue, he was grilled endlessly. They wanted to dig out more information about Ye Yuan.


    But he did not say a single word.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s good that you��re fine. Now, let��s avenge grievances if there are any, and take revenge if there are grudges!��


    Suddenly, Ning Tianping discovered Rong Xiyue by the side. This shock was by no means trivial.


    ��Your Excellency, she �� she ����


    ��She��s of the divine race. This place is the divine race��s Hidden Lineage��s small world. Uh, you don��t need to worry, they are very busy right now,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    While talking, the front door of the medicinal hut was pushed open. Ru Feng walked in with a grim expression.


    Clearly, he had bustled around for the greater part of a day and finally controlled the spread of the poison.


    He expended a Herculean effort and completely froze the entire Hidden Lineage��s heaven and earth spiritual energy. That was how he controlled and curbed the poison��s infectiousness ability.


    Apart from this, he had no other way.


    It was just that like this could only treat the symptoms and not the root.


    In the end, he could only beg Ye Yuan.


    Only after this struggle, did Ru Feng realize how terrifying this poison was.


    In just a short while, the speed of the poison��s spread far exceeded his expectations.


    Even though the divine race was few in population, the Hidden Lineage had gone through countless years of accumulation. There were still a considerable number of divine race powerhouses residing in this small world.


    His reaction was already very fast, but there were still thousands of clan members who died.


    Powerhouses whose strength reached Seven-marks Heavenly Dao Realm could barely manage to hang in there and not die. But they could not hold on for too long either.


    As for Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, even though the poison could not kill them, they would probably have to spend the remainder of their lives with this poison.


    The vast majority of their energy would have to be put on suppressing the toxicity.


    This poison was too fierce!


    ��Boy, hand over the antidote!�� Ru Feng said with a grim expression.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Is this your attitude of pleading with people? If I were to give you the antidote, wouldn��t it make me seem very lowly?��


    Ru Feng discovered that this boy was like a hedgehog, unable to chomp down at all.


    The Hidden Lineage had lived in seclusion here for countless years and had always been calm and tranquil.


    But this punk came for less than a day and turned the entire Hidden Lineage upside down.


    The crux was that he could not even do anything to this guy!


    How aggravating!


    Although killing Ye Yuan was easy, once this toxicity spread, the entire small world would probably become a death zone.


    At that time, there could only be them, these high-level Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realms, remaining.


    Ru Feng gritted his teeth, his tone finally turning gentle as he said, ��Young Friend Ye, this little friend��s matter, we��re very sorry! After this matter passes, I��ll definitely think of ways to compensate you. Please hand the antidote to me!��


    When he said this, he wished to give himself two tight slaps.


    Who was he?


    One of the Hidden Lineage��s nine elders!


    How revered was his status? He was actually being so soft-spoken and submissive towards a human.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Tone is still a little curt, but it can already sink in. However �� you��re not qualified enough yet!��


    Ru Feng��s face changed and he said in a chilly voice, ��Boy, don��t you reach for a yard after taking an inch!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Have Head Elder come, he��s barely qualified enough!��


    Ru Feng��s expression changed wildly and he said in alarm and anger, ��How exalted is Head Elder��s status? It��s impossible for him to come and apologize to you!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said indifferently, ��Then you can kill me right now. With these tens of millions of divine race members being buried with me, it will be a break-even situation for us brothers. Also, you can rest assured about one thing, you definitely won��t find the antidote on my body.��


    Several tens of millions of divine race members sounded like a lot, but when compared to the human race and demon race, it was a single hair strand from nine oxen.


    Ru Feng wished to pounce forward and choke this guy to death!


    How much effort did their Hidden Lineage expend before accumulating this bit of assets?


    Ye Yuan killed all of them with poison in one go!


    Of course, there was still one way, which was total migration.


    But right now, at this juncture, the human race��s major powers were already waiting for a chance to cause trouble. Such a large-scale migration, there was no way to avoid their eyes and ears at all.


    At that time, it was still the outcome of death.


    Before this, Ru Feng completely would not have thought that the exalted divine race would actually have to lower their heads to a human.


    Humans should prostrate at their feet.


    Ru Feng��s face flickered indeterminately. Suddenly, he gave a cold snort, turned around, and left.


    By the side, Rong Xiyue and Ning Tianping were long already dumbstruck with amazement.


    Such a supreme powerhouse did not even dare to let out a fart in front of Ye Yuan.


    Too terrifying!


    Ning Tianping thought that he was dead for sure this time. Who knew that the moment His Excellency came, he directly suppressed their entire divine race until they lowered their heads!


    Barring no accidents, Head Elder still had to come personally.


    Otherwise, if these tens of millions of divine race members died out, they all, these heavenly emperors, would become lone generals without an army.


    But just as Ru Feng went to find Head Elder, Uncle Song detained Li Zhaoqing over.


    When Ning Tianping saw Li Zhaoqing, his two eyes spewed fire.


    Li Zhaoqing��s complexion was ashen. When he saw Rong Xiyue, it was like he saw a straw to clutch at, directly hugging her leg and sobbing bitterly, ��Holy Daughter, s-save me! This lowly one has served the Deathsoul Gate for several hundred thousand years and made meritorious service in work! You �� You can��t leave me in the lurch!��


    Li Zhaoqing completely did not know about whatever divine race. Rong Xiyue��s identity on the surface was the Deathsoul Gate��s Holy Daughter.


    Rong Xiyue smiled bitterly and said, ��It��s not that I��m not saving you, but I can��t even fend for myself right now! You �� hope for the best.��


    After talking, she turned toward Ye Yuan.


    A cold light flashed, Ye Yuan sliced off a corner of the table. The sword moved like the wind, forming the appearance of a memorial tablet very soon.


    It was only to see his fingers move slightly and actually inscribed words onto the memorial tablet out of thin air.


    Finished carving, he placed the memorial tablet on the table and said to Li Zhaoqing, ��Kneel down!��


    Li Zhaoqing��s face changed and looked towards the memorial tablet, only to see ��Deceased Master, Mo Lifei��s memorial tablet�� on it!


    Li Zhaoqing��s entire person felt dizzy. He did not understand. It was just dealing with a brat who just entered the Empyrean Realm. Why was he captured without rhyme or reason?


    Could it be that the powerful Deathsoul Gate was actually scared of an Empyrean Realm brat?


    Just the Deathsoul Gate��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were as many as more than a dozen!


    Thud!


    Li Zhaoqing did not have the least bit of hesitation, directly kneeling down.


    ��Kowtow and offer an apology!�� Ye Yuan said coldly, his words carrying a prestige that allowed no doubt.


    ��Y-Your Excellency spare my life! I��ll kowtow! I��ll kowtow! Brother Mo, I was acting under orders. It really had nothing to do with me!��


    As he said, Li Zhaoqing kowtowed frantically toward the memorial tablet without ceasing.


    Ning Tianping felt touched in his heart. If not for His Excellency, it would have been impossible for him to take revenge in this lifetime, right?

 Chapter 2269 - I Want a Lucky Chance!

    ��Hidden Lineage��s Head Elder, Ji Ling, requests an audience with Young Friend Ye Yuan!��


    Li Zhaoqing was currently kowtowing when a hoary voice suddenly came from outside the door.


    Even though the person outside the door did not deliberately give off pressure, Li Zhaoqing could detect that the two auras outside were powerful to the extreme.


    This kind of existence was close to Heavenly Dao!


    How could such characters be so respectful toward an Empyrean? Not daring to even directly enter?


    Just who was this young man in front of him?


    Li Zhaoqing suddenly discovered that he provoked an extremely terrifying existence.


    At this moment, all his hopes were dashed to pieces.


    He knew that he probably would not survive this time.


    ��Come in,�� Ye Yuan sat up straight and said coolly.


    An old man in white robes pushed the door and entered, his body emitting an aura that made people��s hair stand on end.


    A peak Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm existence did not need to intentionally go and show anything and would have an imposing momentum close to Heavenly Dao.


    Ye Yuan was deeply aware of the divine race��s might. Peak existences like Ji Ling and Ru Feng were probably what even one or two human Deva First Blight powerhouses could be a match for.


    However, the human race��s powerhouses were too many!


    One could not beat, two could not beat, I could beat with 50, right?


    That was right, the number of Heavenly Emperors was indeed extremely few with regards to the entire human race.


    But the human race��s numbers were put there, even if a Heavenly Emperor emerged out of a billion people, the number of Heavenly Emperors was also not what the divine race could compare to.


    Ji Ling entered the door and gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan and said, ��Young Friend Ye, the matter this time, it was my divine race that has affronted you. We��re willing to compensate! We only request Young Friend Ye to lift your hand high up in mercy and hand the antidote to us.��


    Li Zhaoqing��s eyes went wide!


    At this time, with Ji Ling standing in front of him, the aura exuding off of his body virtually made him unable to lift his head!


    He was incomparably sure in his heart that this old man must be a late-stage Heavenly Emperor terrifying existence.


    But such a powerhouse actually paid such solemn respects to an Empyrean, extending a formal apology!


    This scene seriously subverted his worldview too much.


    When could Empyreans be awesome to such a degree?


    Ye Yuan gave Ji Ling a glance and said coolly, ��Oh? Wonder what Head Elder will use to compensate?��


    Ji Ling clearly came prepared, saying, ��My Hidden Lineage has also stored some Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures these few years. If Young Friend Ye takes fancy on them, you can freely choose. Additional, cultivation method, spirit medicines, divine essence stones, we can give compensation!��


    Li Zhaoqing drew a cold breath, how great an enmity was this, to actually use Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures to pay it off?


    Furthermore, it was to be freely picked!


    When did Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures become so worthless?


    How could he know that the Hidden Lineage had lurked in the Heavenspan World for a full epoch? The human powerhouses that they killed numbered God knows how many.


    Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures this sort of thing, there was naturally quite a number accumulated.


    ��Not enough!�� Ye Yuan was expressionless and just lightly spat out two words.


    Ji Ling��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Young Friend Ye, this old man examined my conscience and felt that I��m already very sincere! Could it be that you��re really going to force mutual destruction?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Your divine race��s life is life; my brother��s life isn��t a life?��


    Ji Ling said, ��But he didn��t die!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��But his master died!��


    Ji Ling was very disdainful in his heart.


    How could a lowly ant be mentioned in the same breath with the noble divine race?


    But now, he really had no way about it.


    This poison, he could not cure it!


    Ji Ling said, ��What the hell do you want?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I want a lucky chance!��


    Ji Ling frowned and said, ��The divine race��s lucky chances, you can��t force it!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��That doesn��t need Head Elder to worry about! Also, don��t keep on having a high and mighty appearance! What your divine race cultivates is Heavenly Dao. What my human race cultivates is also Heavenly Dao! Moreover, in my eyes, your divine race is also nothing impressive! At least in front of me, you all don��t have the capital to be high and mighty!��


    Ye Yuan��s words did not save the slightest bit of face.


    Ji Ling and Ru Feng��s faces were both very ugly.


    But they could not find a word to refute it!


    A human Empyrean could jump over a major realm and defeat the divine race��s Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse.


    What qualifications did they have to consider themselves superior in front of Ye Yuan?


    Ji Ling��s brows furrowed even tighter. Pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, ��Fine, this old man promises you! Now, you can hand over the antidote, right?��


    Ye Yuan did not say another word, taking out a bunch of powder from spirit medicines from his storage ring.


    Then, his fingers moved slightly. An incomparably complex array formation formed very quickly.


    Ji Ling��s pupils constricted. This kind of inconceivable array formation, it was still his first time seeing.


    Below the array formation, a medicinal pill condensed and formed very quickly.


    ��Dissolve this medicinal pill in water and let those who are poisoned drink it, it will be able to suppress the toxicity and won��t spread anymore,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ji Ling��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Suppress the toxicity? What this old man wants is the antidote!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Does Head Elder take me to be a fool? Curing the poison now, can I still walk out of here? Oh, forgot to tell you, the time that this medicinal pill can last is only one month. One month later, the toxicity will erupt once more. No need to be anxious. What I have is time, I��ll be a guest here for a period of time.��


    Ji Ling and Ru Feng almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood!


    This brat was still continuing to stay and not leaving?


    They had lived for countless tens of thousands of years, it was still their first time seeing someone who dared to be so arrogant in the divine clan!


    Yet, Ye Yuan had this confidence!


    These two people did not dare to dawdle either, immediately bringing the medicinal pill and going to resolve the poison.


    At this time, monstrous waves already stirred up in Li Zhaoqing��s heart.


    Divine race!


    What race was this?


    Never heard before!


    But he seemed to have been this race��s lackey these few years!


    He suddenly turned to Rong Xiyue and questioned, ��You guys! Who the hell are you all?��


    Rong Xiyue was expressionless as she said, ��Don��t you already know? We��re of the divine race! The supreme divine race! In the future, we��ll also be the divine race that destroys your human race!��


    Li Zhaoqing��s complexion was ashen, seemingly seeing a huge conspiracy!


    ��Y-Your Excellency, I �� I didn��t know anything! It was all of them! Everything was all instigated by them!�� Li Zhaoqing repeatedly kowtowed toward Ye Yuan and complained tearfully.


    Ye Yuan was expressionless as he said coolly, ��Is that so? While they are the ringleaders, have you never committed crimes before? These several hundreds of thousands of years, how many people have died at your hands? Mo Lifei��s entire family died at your hands! Even my brother almost died at your hands! Do you feel that you��re not guilty?��


    Ye Yuan enunciated each word, directly announcing Li Zhaoqing��s death sentence.


    He drew a long sword and passed it to Ning Tianping��s hand, and then he said coolly, ��Your master��s grudge, you avenge it!��


    After he finished talking, his palm pushed out. An incomparably powerful strength transmitted into Ning Tianping��s body.


    Ning Tianping��s essence, energy, and spirit immediately recovered a lot and could already barely manage to stand up.


    He took over the sword from Ye Yuan��s hand and walked over toward Li Zhaoqing.


    A hint of viciousness flashed across in Li Zhaoqing��s gaze, and his figure suddenly erupted, charging towards Ning Tianping!


    ��Even if I die, you��ll also have to be buried with me!�� A hint of smugness flashed across the corners of Li Zhaoqing��s mouth.


    He was too close to Ning Tianping, the others did not have time to save at all.


    ��Immobilize!��


    However, Ye Yuan lightly spat a word out of his mouth. Li Zhaoqing seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex, and froze in midair just like that, unable to move a muscle anymore.


    His gaze revealed an extremely shocked look, doing his best to shake off this constraint.


    But everything was to no avail.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, casting Time Freeze on him, he would not be able to move even the slightest for half a day!


    Ning Tianping limped over just like that, arriving in front of him.

 Chapter 2270 - Heavenly Dao Incarnation

    Ning Tianping placed Li Zhaoqing��s head beside the memorial tablet and knelt down.


    ��Master in heaven, your disciple Ning Tianping personally killed the enemy, and have finally avenged you! If your spirit is in heaven, you can rest in peace.��


    After talking, Ning Tianping kowtowed three times solemnly.


    For so many years, Mo Lifei treated Ning Tianping like a son. Ning Tianping��s feelings toward him, it was second only to his feelings toward Ye Yuan.


    This time, the impact of Mo Lifei��s death was tremendous to Ning Tianping.


    However, the Ye Yuan by the side, his eyes flashed.


    He sensed that kind of fluctuation again!


    This fluctuation was intangible and formless but was exactly the same as his father back then.


    Ye Yuan��s heart stirred slightly, Mo Lifei��s soul had clearly already disintegrated. Right now, a hint of undulation was actually produced above his memorial tablet.


    This undulation made him even more certain that the last time was not a hallucination.


    But the others present were completely oblivious.


    Ning Tianping finished kowtowing and kowtowed to Ye Yuan as he said, ��Tianping thanks Your Excellency for granting my wish!��


    Ye Yuan received it calmly and said, ��I��ll naturally let you fulfill your filial piety. Alright, lie down. Your injuries are very severe and need around half a month before you can recover.��


    Ning Tianping nodded his head and carefully put away Mo Lifei��s memorial tablet and lay down once more.


    �� ��


    Half a month later, under Ye Yuan��s meticulous treatment, he finally recovered completely.


    Then, Ye Yuan ransacked the Hidden Lineage��s medicinal stores under Ru Feng��s company.


    Watching Ye Yuan push one stalk of incomparably precious spirit medicine after another into his storage ring, the muscles on Ru Feng��s face were twitching.


    These spirit medicines, the Hidden Lineage had collected them for no idea how many years.


    Many of them were even close to extinct.


    ��Boy, that��s enough! The spirit medicines that you��re currently taking have already virtually emptied out a Bodhidharma!�� Ru Feng said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan turned to look at him, smiled broadly, and collected the whole stretch with a whoosh.


    It turned out that he was just picking and collecting. Now, he directly collected in piles.


    This was terrifying!


    Ru Feng��s expression choked up and almost could not resist smacking Ye Yuan to death with one slap.


    Ru Feng endured his anger and said, ��C-Consider yourself ruthless!��


    Finished scouring the spirit medicines, Ye Yuan arrived at the treasure vault to choose Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures.


    Ye Yuan picked 13 swords in one go, leaving 12 for himself and gave one to Ning Tianping.


    With 12 Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures added to the sword formation, the power of the sword formation would be even stronger.


    This time, Ru Feng became wiser.


    Even though his heart was still dripping blood, he endured all the way without speaking.


    Otherwise, this punk might move the entire treasure vault away.


    In addition, Ye Yuan even collected a large batch of divine essence stones.


    Other people��s things, not taking would be wasted.


    As for cultivation methods, martial techniques, and whatnot, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to look at all.


    These things already did not have any meaning to him.


    In the end, Ru Feng brought Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping and arrived at the Hidden Lineage��s sacred ground.


    Entering the sacred ground, an incomparably sacred aura hit them head-on.


    On an open field, eight enormous mountain-like stalwart statues of gods stood toweringly.


    This holy aura emitted off of the divine statues.


    When Ning Tianping saw these eight divine statues, he actually knelt down involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan pushed his palm out, a surge of aura suddenly fired out, supporting Ning Tianping up from under.


    Ning Tianping felt ashamed and said, ��Your Excellency, such �� such strong Heavenly Dao aura!��


    But by the side, Ru Feng��s pupils constricted.


    These eight divine statues were god-like existences.


    Even if it was the divine race, the first time entering here to receive the baptism of gods, they would also be brought to their knees by the aura of Dao.


    But Ye Yuan was not only completely fine, he even helped Ning Tianping overcome this psychology effortlessly.


    This guy��s comprehension towards Dao already reached an extremely deep level!


    Ru Feng thought so in his heart.


    But he did not know that titanic waves similarly surged in Ye Yuan��s heart!


    The aura on these gods�� bodies was actually extremely similar to the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    Even though the aura of these gods were far less profound than the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan could be sure that it was the same kind of aura!


    It was still Ye Yuan��s first time encountering something that possessed the same kind of aura as the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    What was the origin of these idols?


    ��These eight divine statues are the incarnations of Heavenly Dao! In the last epoch, they had once imparted Dao to the divine race��s eight progenitors! Later, the eight progenitors attained Dao. They took materials from the Heavenspan Mountain and carved the incarnations of Heavenly Dao! Each divine race member has to undergo the baptism of these eight divine status before they can become official divine race members! This is my divine race��s Dao. You can��t comprehend it!�� Ru Feng said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan swept his gaze past and discovered that many divine race powerhouses were all comprehending Dao under the statues.


    The divine race cultivated Heavenly Dao. It turns out that it came from this!


    ��Divine race��s eight progenitors, could Daymeld be one of them?�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Ru Feng��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� You��ve seen before Progenitor Daymeld?��


    Sure enough!


    Ye Yuan did not expect that this Daymeld��s background was actually so great.


    He nodded his head and said, ��That��s right, he was suppressed in Shinra Ghost Region��s Asura Blood Sea, and just broke through the barrier and came out not long ago!��


    The moment Ru Feng heard, he could not help saying joyfully, ��Hahaha �� the progenitor coming into being, our divine race��s revival is nigh at hand! Gratifying, celebratory! Such a joyous occasion, I have to quickly tell Head Elder!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was strange as he said, ��What are you happy about? After he came into being, he was seriously wounded by a Dao artifact and also had an arm severed by me. Right now, he��s hiding at God knows where to recover his strength.��


    ��What? You �� You severed one of Progenitor Daymeld��s arms? That isn��t possible!�� Ru Feng said in alarm and anger.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If he was at his prime, it��s naturally impossible. But if he��s in the same realm as me?��


    Ru Feng��s expression turned stiff, his complexion ashen.


    Yeah, this boy was too monstrous!


    Invincible in the same realm was not said for fun!


    Ancestor being suppressed for an epoch, his strength had long been pretty much worn down. After coming into being, he was also seriously injured by a Dao artifact. How much strength was there to still fight with Ye Yuan?


    If Ye Yuan was an ordinary Empyrean Realm, even if Ancestor only had Empyrean Realm strength, he could casually knead him too.


    Yet, Ye Yuan��s combat power was a hundred times more daunting than divine race members of the same realm!


    Ancestor suffering a big loss did not seem hard to understand.


    Ye Yuan looked at the eight idols, the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of amusement and he said smilingly, ��Heavenly Dao incarnation, interesting! Wonder when I can witness a true Heavenly Dao incarnation! Tianping, you go and comprehend the eight statues. How much you can comprehend counts.��


    Ru Feng smiled coldly and said, ��The legacy of the eight divine statues, only humans whose souls and flesh fused into one can receive it. If he goes and comprehends them, he��ll be directly crushed by the statues�� Heavenly Dao pressure!��


    Ning Tianping himself also felt the powerful pressure and said with a bitter smile, ��Your Excellency, I��m afraid that I can��t!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Scared of what? I��ll protect you! This is what the divine race owes you. Since it��s given to you, grasp it well!��


    When Ning Tianping heard that, he immediately mustered up the courage and said with a nod, ��Yes, Your Excellency!��


    Done talking, he walked over toward the divine statues with large strides.


    Ning Tianping��s entire body trembled, seemingly sensing the eight divine statues coming to life, their gazes were all focused on him.


    A terrifying Heavenly Dao aura suddenly descended!

 Chapter 2271 - Keeping Watch!

    The eight idols seemed to be spiritually linked.


    They were clearly all dead objects, but they gave people a feeling of being almost lifelike.


    The moment their gazes looked over, it was like the world looked over. Ning Tianping��s mind shook heavily and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood with a cough.


    But right at this time, a gentle aura hit from behind, enveloping him inside.


    Ning Tianping looked at Ye Yuan in surprise and discovered that Ye Yuan was cool as a cucumber. It was as if nothing had happened.


    ��You just need to comprehend it. You don��t need to care about other things. No matter how strong they are, they can��t hurt you either,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ning Tianping nodded slightly, relaxed his mind, and started comprehending the Dao.


    But the Dao was not so easy to comprehend.


    Ning Tianping��s strength had long already surpassed all others among peers.


    But he did not tread out his own path.


    Only those who attained Dao could reach the apex.


    But wanting to take this step was arduously difficult.


    Ning Tianping��s talent was decent, but he was only born in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.


    If it was the normal trajectory, he would at most merely be Celestial Deity Realm.


    Now, breaking through to become an Empyrean, rather than say that it was because of Mo Lifei��s devoted teaching, might as well say that it was because of Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills.


    It was Ye Yuan��s medicinal pills that cleansed his marrows, causing him to continuously surpass his limits.


    But to tread out one��s own path was not that easy.


    The Dao could be understood, but it could not be expressed with words.


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended his own Dao, he was unable to tell the people around him and let them gain enlightenment on Dao too.


    But these eight idols possessed the same aura as the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. It was just that they were also not as unfathomable as the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    To Ning Tianping, this was the best place to gain enlightenment on Dao.


    Of course, based on his own strength, it was totally impossible to gain enlightenment on Dao.


    This was the Dao that the divine race��s eight great progenitors tailor-made for the divine race. The bodies of humans were unable to withstand it at all.


    But Ye Yuan could borrow the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and help Ning Tianping neutralize a portion of the power, letting him gain enlightenment on Dao in a peaceful environment.


    ��The Dao lies in the heart. Follow your own heart. The setbacks that you��ve encountered in your life are too few, experiencing life and death this time is precisely the time for great enlightenment. Open up your heart and accept your inner-self, and find the Great Dao that belongs to you!�� Ye Yuan��s words reverberated in Ning Tianping��s ears.


    Ning Tianping��s entire body trembled, his eyes gradually becoming brilliant.


    Gradually, his entire mind and body relaxed, quietly accepting the baptism of Dao.


    Originally, this was the most dangerous step.


    How great was the power of Dao? How could it be what ordinary people could endure?


    Once the Dao heart collapsed, all the cultivation would be forfeited entirely.


    But Ye Yuan helped him to withstand the vast majority of the impact force. He could comprehend his own Dao very comfortably.


    By the side, Ru Feng��s heart shook wildly!


    ��This boy actually doesn��t fear the divine race imprint amidst the Great Dao! He �� How did he do it?��


    ��Also, his Dao has already gone so far? I��m afraid that even ordinary Heavenly Emperors haven��t gone as far as him!��


    ��Freak, truly a freak! How could such a freak appear in the human race?��


    A hint of killing intent flashed across in Ru Feng��s eyes. At this very moment, he had an impulse to finish Ye Yuan off.


    The threat that Ye Yuan brought to him was too strong.


    Someone like Ye Yuan being born in the opponent��s camp truly made people feel too dangerous.


    But thinking about it, he still suppressed the killing intent in his heart.


    He could kill Ye Yuan. But in return, it would cause tens of millions of Hidden Lineage clan members to be buried in death.


    This transaction was too not worthwhile.


    The divine race was about to come into being. The era of great struggle was about to arrive. These were all the divine race��s backbone combat power!


    At this time, Ning Tianping walked in front of the first idol and sat down cross-legged.


    Ye Yuan smiled knowingly and secretly nodded.


    Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise!


    The events this time helped Ning Tianping achieve his aim instead, making him have a great awakening.


    Mo Lifei��s death let Ning Tianping suffer an unprecedented blow but also helped him.


    Ning Tianping already entered the state and could take the first step of Dao enlightenment very soon!


    All things were difficult before they were easy!


    The comprehension of Dao, the first step of entering Dao was the most difficult.


    Many people were unable to take this step in their entire lives.


    ��Mo Lifei, you can rest in peace!�� Ye Yuan said in his heart.


    Only between life and death could one have a great awakening.


    However, what Ye Yuan did not know was that for Ning Tianping to be able to take this step, it was not merely because of the life and death trial this time, it was more due to his teaching by example.


    For so many years, he followed by Ye Yuan��s side and witnessed Ye Yuan��s miraculous rise from the perspective of a bystander.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan was the Southern Border��s number one alchemy master, the Priest Temple��s Second Sage. But no one knew how much he paid for this.


    The difficulties that Ye Yuan experienced were unimaginable for ordinary people.


    But Ye Yuan would never fear and would never shrink back.


    How firm his Dao heart was, Ning Tianping was someone who personally experienced it.


    Even though Mo Lifei was his master, the one with the greatest influence on Ning Tianping was Ye Yuan.


    Ning Tianping viewed Ye Yuan as his most sought-after goal in his life, and he was unknowingly imitating Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s words and actions were all constantly affecting him too.


    Otherwise, with Ning Tianping��s temperament, there would be no way of recovering from the blow of Mo Lifei��s death so quickly.


    In fact, he would be devastated.


    Actually, after all these years, Ning Tianping��s heart had already unknowingly become very strong.


    Had to admit, Ye Yuan had this kind of magical power.


    The people around him would always be infected by him.


    Time passed day by day. Ning Tianping��s eyes became brighter and brighter.


    While the Ye Yuan by the side was constantly withdrawing his aura, letting more Great Dao aura land on Ning Tianping��s body.


    The aura on Ning Tianping��s body became stronger and stronger, the Great Dao power that he could withstand also grew more and more.


    However, Ye Yuan did not go and gain enlightenment on Dao.


    This was not his Dao!


    These idols were just Daos that eight progenitors carved.


    If it was the real incarnation of Heavenly Dao, he could comprehend it a bit.


    Ye Yuan felt that that was the true path!


    As for these idols, he held them in contempt.


    Three years later, he suddenly stood up and made some very strange postures.


    These postures were precisely the postures of these god statues.


    It was very hard for Ning Tianping to learn. In the beginning, he was unable to perform it at all. In fact, he would vomit blood the moment he performed it.


    But he was not discouraged, attempting it over and over again.


    After ten years, he could finally perform the first posture.


    Another five years passed, he performed the second posture.


    30 years later, he finally performed all eight poses!


    While Ye Yuan guarded beside Ning Tianping for 33 years!


    Suddenly, the entire sacred ground��s aura became different.


    A terrifying power of law suddenly descended!


    Sea of Law!


    Ye Yuan��s eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a hint of surprise.


    Ning Tianping��s improvement far exceeded his expectations!


    He truly had a great awakening, gaining enlightenment on his own Dao!


    Sea of Law descending! It caused a great sensation in the entire sacred ground.


    Those people gaining enlightenment on Dao were all startled by this scene and gave up on comprehending. Each and every one looked toward Ning Tianping in shock.

 Chapter 2272 - Myriad Region Alchemy Conference!

    ��Your Excellency!��


    Ning Tianping walked out of the Sea of Law and bowed deeply to Ye Yuan three times.


    The current Ning Tianping had sharp eyes and was full of energy, akin to a sharp sword out of its sheath. He was giving people a feeling of having acquired a completely new outlook.


    His gratitude toward Ye Yuan was expressed with these three bows.


    With several decades of guarding, Ye Yuan gave up cultivating. He only spent his time comprehending Great Dao.


    Ye Yuan praised him, ��Life and death Great Dao, not bad! Not bad! Starting from now, you��ve truly stepped onto the path of a powerhouse!��


    By the side, Ru Feng was long already shocked speechless.


    A human really gained enlightenment on Dao in their divine race��s sacred grounds!


    If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would definitely feel that it was absurd nonsense.


    How could lowly humans possibly comprehend the divine race��s Dao?


    Furthermore, during these several decades�� time, Ye Yuan completely lacked interest in these eight god statues these several decades. He did not even want to take a look.


    Ru Feng originally thought that the lucky chance he was talking about was for himself.


    In the end, it was only for Ning Tianping.


    He looked down on even the divine race��s sacred grounds?


    Someone as powerful as him also felt a sense of frustration.


    ��I said before, what you all comprehend is Heavenly Dao; what humans comprehend is Heavenly Dao too. Nobody is noble or lowly. Now, do you believe it?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ru Feng��s face was black, suddenly having a feeling of getting slapped.


    Even though he was not willing to admit it, he still felt that if Ye Yuan went to comprehend the god statues himself, he would definitely comprehend some things easily.


    But he was disdainful!


    Under his escort, Ning Tianping comprehended his own Dao!


    Life and death Great Dao was also a kind of extremely strong Great Dao already.


    From now on, Ning Tianping would fly to the sky with one bound, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds.


    Returning to the clan, Ye Yuan refined another batch of medicinal pills, threw it to Ru Feng, and said coolly, ��These medicinal pills, let them consume it once every ten years. It can suppress the toxicity for 50 years. After that, you all send Rong Xiyue to find me again. I��ll give you all the antidotes.��


    When Ru Feng heard this, he said in a great rage, ��Boy, we��ve already satisfied all of your demands! You��re still playing this with this old man?��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��If I give you the antidote now, can I still walk out of here? Or, I��ll be killed off by you guys as soon as I leave this place.��


    Ru Feng��s face fell. This lad was astute and crafty. He was really hard to deal with.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan brought Ning Tianping and left the Hidden Lineage.


    Seeing Ye Yuan leave the Hidden Lineage, Ru Feng also let out a long sigh in relief and hurriedly cast the secret art to completely seal off this passageway.


    ��Finally we sent away that plague god! Head Elder, I feel that this boy��s threat is too great. Should we send someone to kill him off?�� Ru Feng said viciously.


    Ji Ling shook his head and said, ��This brat is too shrewd. Furthermore, he��s proficient in spatial law. He��s not what the average person can finish off. We might even get the skunk stink all over us. Her Highness Divine Daughter��s issue is the lesson learned. Want to kill him, it has to at least be late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm. But at this juncture, appearing in the Heavenspan World is too sensitive.��


    Ru Feng said gloomily, ��But this boy is too monstrous. I keep feeling that he poses a huge threat to our divine race and must be eliminated!��


    Ji Ling nodded and said, ��I naturally know that. But he can��t wait until the day he grows up! Progenitor Daymeld has already come into being. Before long, the two world��s passageway will definitely collapse entirely. At that time, in a battle at the level of progenitor, he won��t have the qualifications to intervene at all! Before that, we��d best accumulate strength and act a little safer.��


    Ru Feng��s expression turned somber and he nodded his head.


    �� ��


    Returning to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, Ye Yuan started closed-seclusion cultivation.


    He had collected a large batch of spirit medicines in the Hidden Lineage. They were sufficient for him to cultivate to peak Chaos Realm.


    Moreover, it was not like he did not do anything for so many years in the Hidden Lineage��s sacred ground.


    He mutually corroborated the god statues with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and had a deeper understanding of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    The outline of the next realm also gradually formed in Ye Yuan��s mind.


    He went into closed-seclusion cultivation more to comprehend the next realm.


    Ye Yuan himself was also very curious. His cultivation system was completely different from ordinary martial artists. What kind of level would he achieve if he kept cultivating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon?


    Deva?


    Dao Ancestor?


    Since he knew that Dao Ancestors were not truly invincible under the heavens, then he should also have hopes of reaching this realm, right?


    About 20 years later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion. His current realm already reached the peak Chaos Realm!


    It was just that he still did not have a mature idea with regard to the next realm.


    Currently, his world was a mass of chaos. Then the next step would definitely be developing a real world.


    It was just that evolving a world was clearly not such a simple matter.


    His chaos world was totally different from ordinary small worlds. The method to hew it open was naturally too complicated as well.


    Ordinary Heavenly Emperors grasped Dao marks after obtaining Heavenly Dao��s recognition.


    While he opened up his own path and developed a world.


    There was an intrinsic difference between these two.


    ��Looks like got to make another trip to the Heavenspan Mountain!�� Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was the source of myriad life, the foundation of Heavenly Dao. Only there could he feel the most fundamental source of power and could help Ye Yuan open up his own world from there.


    Ye Yuan exited seclusion and discovered that Ji Mo was already waiting outside.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Ji Mo��s pupils could not help constricting.


    The current Ye Yuan actually gave him a feeling of beholding a great mountain.


    That sort of feeling was akin to some kind of existence above the firmament.


    But clearly, Ye Yuan was just a peak Empyrean!


    He discovered that each time he saw Ye Yuan again, he would give him another level of shock.


    The strength of Second Sage could be described using changing with each passing day!


    ��I offer greetings to Second Sage!�� Ji Mo gave a bow respectfully.


    Ye Yuan looked at Ji Mo and was also rather surprised, saying with a smile, ��I was just about to go and meet Sacred Ancestor High Priest. I didn��t expect that you came first. Finding me for?��


    Ji Mo said, ��Myriad Region Alchemy Conference organized a Myriad Region Alchemy Conference and invited the Heavenspan World��s various alchemy holy lands�� countless elites to the Medicine Ancestor Bodhidharma! Lord Sacred Ancestor was also on the list of invitees. He had me come to invite you and to go along together.��


    Ye Yuan could not help being slightly taken aback when he heard and immediately could not help laughing as he said, ��Medicine Ancestor finally can��t hold back anymore?��


    Ji Mo also smiled and said, ��Second Sage��s one remark reveals heaven��s secrets! Lord Sacred Ancestor said that the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time is actually organized for you!��


    By the side, Bai Tong and the rest were shocked.


    Hearing the Medicine Ancestor��s invitation earlier, each and every one of them still felt honored.


    After all, this was the terrifying figure standing at the summit of the Heavenspan World��s alchemy path.


    Being able to receive his invitation, it was absolutely an extremely honorable thing.


    But when Ji Mo said this, all of them were shocked.


    The Medicine Ancestor ramping up for a fight like this, stirring up the entire Heavenspan World, it was actually for Ye Yuan?


    He was merely a Seven-star Alchemy God!


    The others did not understand it. Only Ji Mo understood that Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao already peeked right at the source, reaching the level of Dao pill.


    If Ye Yuan was an old monster who had already been famous for a long time, the Medicine Ancestor naturally would not get into a fight.


    But Ye Yuan was too young!


    His youth would impact the Medicine Ancestor��s status!

 Chapter 2273 - Respectful Without Fear!

    ��Senior Ji Mo, how can an existence like Medicine Ancestor organize such a grand alchemy summit for His Excellency alone?�� Yun Yi could not resist asking.


    In the Heavenspan World, for all alchemists, the Medicine Ancestor was a god-like existence!


    In the path of alchemy, nobody could surpass the Medicine Ancestor.


    He was like a totem, even making people not dare to profane.


    Even though Ye Yuan was similarly a god-like figure in the hearts of Yun Yi and the rest.


    But he was just a Seven-star Alchemy God after all.


    They had never doubted that Ye Yuan would reach the realm of Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest in the future.


    However, it was not now.


    The current Ye Yuan matching up against the Medicine Ancestor, wasn��t it equivalent to strike a rock with an egg?


    Ji Mo smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��The Medicine Ancestor is indeed aloof from the masses. He isn��t even inferior to Dao Ancestors in the hearts of alchemists! Only a short while ago, my Lord Sacred Ancestor also viewed him like a god. But, ever since after ��Ask Not��, Lord Sacred Ancestor threw away all of these emotions. It��s true that the Medicine Ancestor is powerful, but he��s narrow-minded and doesn��t have the capacity to accommodate people! Lord Sacred Ancestor had once been decadent for several tens of millions of years after ��Ask Not��, and was almost unable to recover from the setback. If not for so, his current strength might not be inferior to Medicine Ancestor��s!��


    ��This is impossible!�� The expressions of Yun Yi and the rest changed wildly.


    They were seriously unable to accept that the god in their hearts was actually such a person!


    The Medicine Ancestor was the totem of all alchemists. When this totem collapsed, people��s first reaction could only be disbelief.


    Power and status could conceal many things sometimes.


    He was strong, so he was right in everything.


    Even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest talked about Medicine Ancestor��s faults everywhere, he would only be thought of as babbling nonsense, intentionally slandering Medicine Ancestor after defeat.


    Now, Ji Mo saying such words, the reactions of Yun Yi and the rest was this.


    Ji Mo just smiled and did not speak, not explaining things.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nobody is perfect! No matter how strong Deity Realm powerhouses are, they aren��t true gods either. They still have seven emotions and six desires. Even though the Medicine Ancestor is the supreme lord of alchemy, very, unfortunately, he��s such a person. I know that it��s very hard for you all to accept, but I believe this fact shouldn��t be far off than the Medicine Ancestor that I know in the ��Ask Not�� chess game.��


    ��This �� This ����


    Yun Yi and the rest had faces of being at a loss on what to do, feeling like their three views were about to collapse.


    Ji Mo said coolly, ��So this so-called Myriad Region Alchemy Conference is actually to destroy Second Sage��s faith, to crumble the Dao in his heart. This way, Second Sage won��t be able to impact his status anymore.��


    Yun Yi and the rest all looked over towards Ye Yuan, shocked expressions on their faces.


    They were still feeling honored earlier because Ye Yuan was invited. But now, they could not help worrying about Ye Yuan.


    If they had to choose between the Medicine Ancestor and Ye Yuan, they would naturally stand on Ye Yuan��s side without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Your Excellency, why not �� Let��s not go to this alchemy conference?�� Yun Yi said carefully.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Ever since I entered the Heavenspan World, I��ve always imagined fighting against the Medicine Ancestor one day. Now, this opportunity is in front of my eyes, how can I possibly miss it?��


    ��B-But that��s the Medicine Ancestor!�� Yun Yi said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what if Medicine Ancestor? Yun Yi, only by not having a god in your heart can you become a god! If you regard your master as a god, you won��t ever surpass your master! Your talent, willpower, and character are all superb! But, if you can��t overcome the fear in your heart, you��ll forever only be my disciple! In the hearts of powerhouses, there��s only respect, no fear!��


    In the hearts of powerhouses, there was only respect, no fear!


    This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, giving people a feeling of enlightening the benighted.


    Even Ji Mo��s entire body trembled too.


    He did not have a revering heart towards the Medicine Ancestor, but he held Sacred Ancestor High Priest in awe and veneration!


    This kind of awe and veneration was deeply imprinted in his bones and had already been over tens of millions of years long.


    Surpassing Master, this sort of thing, he did not even dare to think about it!


    He suddenly remembered those words that Wing said to him, and finally understood why Ye Yuan would have today��s accomplishments.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��I once said before that I��m Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s opponent. That wasn��t some arrogant remark, but it was that I have the conviction and courage to surpass him! My strength is inferior to him, so what about it? I��ll do my utmost best to make myself become stronger! Even if I fail, I won��t regret it too! I think that Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s thinking should be the same as mine, he��s waiting for me to become stronger! I respect Sacred Ancestor High Priest not because he helped me before, but because he��s an opponent worthy of respect! But the Medicine Ancestor isn��t!��


    Ji Mo was shocked speechless!


    The words that Ye Yuan said were virtually identical to what his master said!


    Could it be that this was the tacit understanding between the strong?


    His master said before, he was not afraid of failure!


    What he was afraid of having no opponent!


    Even though Ye Yuan��s current strength was still worlds apart from Master.


    But Ye Yuan��s might already made people unable to look directly at it!


    By the side, Yun Yi��s mind shook heavily.


    He understood that his master was teaching him to become a true powerhouse.


    This kind of education had nothing to do with skills. It only cared about the heart of a powerhouse!


    Only by not having a god in your heart can you become a god!


    He had always thought that awe was a term.


    But only now did he discover that he was wrong.


    Respect was respect, fear was fear.


    Respect, but do not be daunted!


    Yun Yi sucked in a deep breath and nodded his head solemnly as he said, ��Master, I understand!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you understand, cultivate your heart well! Talking about it is easy, but doing it is as hard as ascending to heaven!��


    Ji Mo got up and carried out the etiquette of a disciple, bowing respectfully toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Thank you for Second Sage��s pointers!��


    Ye Yuan accepted it calmly and said with a smile, ��Is the Medicine Ancestor taking action because of the Chaos Samsara Pill?��


    Ji Mo nodded. Ye Yuan continued, ��Refining the Chaos Samsara Pill, I seem to have touched the source of Alchemy Dao. That seems to be another realm that surmounts Ancestor Realm! Looks like Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest they all are at this level.��


    Ji Mo thought about it and asked, ��How confident is Second Sage in this battle?��


    Ye Yuan directly shook his head and said, ��Not even 10%!��


    Everyone��s expressions changed, but then they heard Ye Yuan say with a laugh, ��But for Medicine Ancestor to want to borrow this to attack my Dao heart, he��s probably thinking too much. Alright, you go back first then, I want to take a trip to the Heavenspan Mountain. After I break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, I��ll go to the Priest Temple.��


    Ji Mo bowed in salute and took his leave.


    Ye Yuan was very confident, but he was not blindly confident.


    The opponent this time was the Heavenspan World��s alchemy path��s number one person!


    This person had stood at the apex of the Heavenspan World��s alchemy path for trillions of years, no one had been able to shake it before.


    His might did not need words to explain at all.


    Being the first meant having to accept endless challenges!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was just one of them.


    For the Medicine Ancestor to be able to persevere and not fall, that was battled out with absolute strength, and not being touted by others.


    Facing such an opponent, Ye Yuan did not have any confidence at all.


    But so what?


    He, Ye Yuan, would never give up!

 Chapter 2274 - Make You Make an Exception

    Coming to Southfoot Town again, it had been over 2000 years.


    Coming here again, Ye Yuan felt a sense of rue.


    Back then, he was unable to break through to the Divine Vortex Realm. Rushing hastily into danger and arriving at this place, he received the drunkard��s care. That was how he broke through his realm.


    Looking back, when he saw those Divine Lord Realm little scamps around him again, Ye Yuan felt like he was suddenly worlds away.


    He concealed his aura along the way in order to not draw too much attention.


    ��Not seeing him for years, I wonder how the old drunkard is doing.��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and entered the town slowly, arriving at the guardian��s place.


    Old Drunkard was still lying there in an unsightly manner. Clearly, he was very drunk.


    Discovering that somebody came in, Old Drunkard directly threw a wooden plaque over and said drunkenly, ��Hurry up and get lost, don��t disturb this old man from drinking!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, Senior Drunkard is still so overbearing!��


    Old Drunkard suddenly startled awake, turned his head to look, and could not help getting a shock.


    ��It��s you!��


    He sized Ye Yuan up and down and said approvingly, ��Not bad, not bad! Lord Dustless��s vision is indeed good. You already cultivated to the peak Divine Lord Realm in 2000 years�� time. This speed is considered pretty good already! Back then, Lord Immortal Grove was also no more than this. You came this time in order to break through to Celestial Deity Realm, right?��


    With Ye Yuan��s current realm, if he intentionally concealed his cultivation, forget about Old Drunkard, even if it was an ordinary Empyrean Realm, it would be hard to see through his depths too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Considered so I guess. Senior Drunkard, how have these few years been?��


    Old Drunkard��s eyes flickered, and he switched to a smiling face as he said, ��Good, very good! I��m guarding this Southfoot Town. What can be wrong, hahaha ����


    He thought that he hid it very well, but how could his emotion fluctuations hide from Ye Yuan��s eyes and ears?


    But Ye Yuan did not expose him. Since he did not want to say, forcing him served no purpose either.


    The two people meeting, it naturally could not dispense with a bout of small talk.


    But while talking, Old Drunkard always seemed to vaguely be wanting to chase Ye Yuan away.


    Ye Yuan was aware of this in his heart and also thanked him for his hospitality. He then returned to the residence to rest.


    The next day, it was the day to climb the Heavenspan Mountain again.


    Old Drunkard watched Ye Yuan enter the passageway before turning back to Southfoot Town.


    After he returned to the guardian��s manor, there was already a room full of people inside.


    In the middle, a young man sat on his seat, his gaze when looking at the old drunkard was filled with scorn.


    Behind the young man, there were even two maidservants massaging his shoulders, fragrance lingering in the air, merry and carefree.


    ��Bastard, why haven��t you knelt down when you see this young master!��


    Bang!


    Behind the old drunkard, a martial artist suddenly kicked out, directly kicking onto the back of Old Drunkard��s knees, breaking his pair of legs, kneeling to the ground.


    The young man��s expression was apathetic as he said coolly, ��Old Drunkard, do you know your crime?��


    Old Drunkard did not care, he took out his wine gourd, drank a mouthful of wine, and said with a cold smile, ��What crime does this old man have?��


    The young man said coolly, ��Got to look at the owner when hitting a dog! This young master sent Lin Xiu here to be your deputy, but you killed him! How do you plan on explaining this matter?��


    Old Drunkard snorted coldly and said, ��Was Lin Xiu here to be a deputy? The moment he came, he relied on Young Master��s power and directly turned this old man into a figurehead! Never mind this, this old man is happy to be idly too! But, in the ten years that Lin Xiu was in power, disregarding that he demanded ridiculous prices, he even tainted and killed hundreds of female cultivators! This old man had urged him many times, but he went from bad to worse, and even wanted to kill this old man! This old man killed him in a moment of rage. What crime is there?��


    Old Drunkard was filled with righteous indignation as he said it, but the young man��s face remained calm and collected all along, and did not have the slightest fluctuation.


    As if those female cultivators who died unjustly were just a bunch of animals.


    To talk about these few years, the old drunkard had passed it comfortably too.


    But all this changed ten years ago.


    These ten years, Old Drunkard simply spent each day like it was a year.


    That Lin Xiu was a pervert.


    Female cultivators that were even slightly attractive could not escape his evil hands at all.


    Disregarding that he tainted them, he even butchered them afterward!


    He was righteous and looked down on this kind of despicable action the most.


    These ten years, he simply wanted to explode from anger.


    However, Lin Xiu was this young master��s cousin. Relying on this young master��s power, he did not place him in his eyes at all.


    Old Drunkard was just a True God Realm in the end.


    He was naturally incomparably powerful in the eyes of these Divine Lord Realm martial artists. But in the eyes of this one, he was akin to an ant.


    Helpless, he could only persuade many times.


    But, not only did Lin Xiu not listen, he went from bad to worse, and became more and more abominable.


    Finally, Old Drunkard could not resist making a move to stop Lin Xiu. But under this guy��s frenzy, he actually wanted to kill Old Drunkard.


    He thought that Old Drunkard did not dare to fight back. But who knew that under Old Drunkard��s sullen rage, he struck him dead with one palm.


    Lin Xiu had his body hollowed out by alcohol and lust. So how could he be Old Drunkard��s match?


    It was just that like this, it startled Young Master.


    Old Drunkard knew that Young Master was coming these two days, so he did not want to drag Ye Yuan in, that was why he did not mention this matter.


    ��Just a bunch of ants. Lin Xiu favoring them is their blessing. Is it your turn to be a busybody?�� Young Master said with an indifferent look.


    Toward this remark, Old Drunkard seemed to have long expected it. He just drank a mouthful of wine and kept his mouth shut.


    Tang Yucheng and Lin Xiu were simply jackals of the same lair!


    No matter how much he said, it would also be hard to escape death.


    Those present today, just the Empyreans numbered quite a few. There was no chance for him to escape.


    Seeing Old Drunkard keeping his mouth shut, Tang Yucheng said coolly, ��Looks like you already have some awareness. Send him on his way then! Qing He, from today onwards, you��re Southfoot Town��s guardian.��


    By the side, one of Tang Yucheng��s subordinates had a look of pleasant surprise and immediately bowed and said, ��Many thanks for Young Master��s appreciation!��


    Tang Yucheng waved his hands, indicating for his subordinates to do it.


    An Empyrean walked out slowly and came before Old Drunkard.


    Old Drunkard laughed loudly, opened his mouth, and drank wine, incredibly unrestrained.


    The Empyrean did not say a word and smacked a palm down.


    But just as his palm was about to land, a ray of sword light seemed to come from beyond the sky.


    Pfft!


    That Empyrean was directly sliced into pieces, deader until he could not be more dead.


    A figure slowly walked in from outside the house and came right in front of Old Drunkard.


    Tang Yucheng��s subordinates all retreated, not daring to come into contact with Ye Yuan at all, directly opening up a path.


    Old Drunkard looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment, shocked speechless.


    He did not even see clearly how he attacked and this Empyrean was one-shotted?


    Could it be that �� Ye Yuan��s current strength was not Divine Lord Realm?


    No, wait, he had clearly already seen him enter the passageway. Why did he come back again?


    Old Drunkard struggled to open his drunken eyes, attempting to see Ye Yuan clearly. But no matter how he looked, he could not see clearly too.


    It was as if what was standing in front of him at this very moment was that fleeting and ephemeral Heavenspan Mountain!


    ��Ye Yuan, you �� you ����


    Old Drunkard stammered for a long time and did not speak.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Drunkard is treating me too much as a stranger! Relax. With me around, they can��t touch you!��


    Tang Yucheng drank a mouthful of wine calmly and said coolly, ��Can��t touch him? When I, Tang Yucheng, want to kill someone, there has never been anyone who can stop me!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, ��Then sorry about it, I��ll have to make you make an exception today.��

 Chapter 2275 - My Dad is a Heavenly Emperor!

    ��Ye Yuan, I don��t know how strong you are right now. But he isn��t someone you can afford to provoke! Quickly leave, don��t worry about my affairs!��


    Old Drunkard finally recovered from the shock. But his first reaction was to have Ye Yuan hurry up and leave.


    Because Tang Yucheng��s status was high, Ye Yuan could not afford to provoke him at all.


    He tried to push Ye Yuan out, but he discovered that he could not budge him at all.


    Tang Yucheng slowly got up, came before Ye Yuan, and said with a light smile, ��Punk, do you know why he��s so scared of me?��


    Ye Yuan said rather interestedly, ��Oh? Why?��


    ��Because �� I��m the son of a Heavenly Emperor!�� When he said this, Tang Yucheng had a smug look. Clearly, he felt very proud of this identity.


    ��My father is Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain. The 30 million miles area at the foot of the Heavenspan Mountain is all under my father��s jurisdiction! Therefore, do you know what��s the outcome of you offending me?�� Tang Yucheng��s face was almost planted in front of Ye Yuan��s, a proud look on his face.


    Ye Yuan revealed a guileless smile and said, ��What outcome I have, I really don��t know, but �� I know your outcome.��


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s aura billowed to the sky. The terrifying pressure directly sent the guardian manor flying.


    Tang Yucheng was caught off-guard and directly overwhelmed until he knelt on the ground by this horrifying pressure.


    Those True God Realm guards were directly crushed into meat pancakes.


    The few remaining Empyrean Realms were crushed until they lay prone on the ground, unable to even move an inch.


    Ye Yuan��s pressure carried a strong power.


    If he intentionally released it, it was not what these initial-stage Empyreans could resist at all.


    Old Drunkard��s heart shook wildly, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of disbelief.


    He never even dared to dream that in a short 2000 years�� time, Ye Yuan��s strength actually turned out to be so terrifying.


    He had not made a move yet and directly pressed the Empyrean Realm powerhouses unable to move on the ground.


    How formidable a strength did this need?


    He previously still thought that Ye Yuan was here to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.


    Thinking about it, it was simply a joke.


    He could clearly feel that Ye Yuan��s current strength was likely even stronger than the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove back then!


    How was this possible?


    Just 2000 years!


    In just 2000 years, from a rookie who could not even break through to be a Divine Lord, growing into a peak Empyrean sovereign?


    He suddenly somewhat understood the meaning of those words that Dustless said back then.


    Lord Immortal Grove��s successor was truly incredible!


    It was just that �� behind Tang Yucheng was a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    Under the heavy pressure, Tang Yucheng had a contorted look on his face. Gritting his teeth, he bellowed, ��You dare to touch me?! You dare to touch me?! My dad is a Heavenly Emperor! You��re dead! You��re dead!��


    Tang Yucheng himself was an Empyrean powerhouse too. But he was weak like a three-year-old child in front of Ye Yuan.


    Old Drunkard was also shocked and said, ��Ye Yuan, quickly go! Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain dotes on this son immensely. If he knows that you made a move against Tang Yucheng, he won��t let you off! My affairs, I don��t need you to care!��


    He was not afraid of dying himself, but he was afraid to implicate Ye Yuan.


    Even if Ye Yuan was currently peak Empyrean, it was also impossible to be a Heavenly Emperor��s match.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m going to intervene in your affairs!��


    Clank!


    The sounds of swords clanging sounded out, a dozen over swords sword energy around Tang Yucheng, the sword energy threatening.


    Ye Yuan rapped on Tang Yucheng��s head and said, ��Come, repeat your words just now again.��


    Sensing the chilly air coming from the tip of the swords, Tang Yucheng��s face changed wildly and he hurriedly shook his head and said, ��I �� I don��t dare anymore! Y-Your Excellency, I don��t dare anymore!��


    ��Then tell me now, did Lin Xiu deserve to die or not?��


    ��Deserved it! Deserved to die! He courted death himself! It��s not Old Drunkard��s fault! Really, really, I don��t blame Old Drunkard at all! He��s my cousin, when my aunt heard that he died, she was extremely enraged. That��s why I had no choice but to find trouble with Old Drunkard. Actually, I admonish his actions and behavior a lot too!��


    ��Like this huh! In that case, you��re a good guy?��


    ��A good guy! I��m really a good guy!��


    Ye Yuan seemed very satisfied with Tang Yucheng��s answer. Patting his shoulder twice, he smiled lightly and said, ��Since you��re a good guy, then I��ve wrong you. You can go.��


    Tang Yucheng was akin to being granted amnesty, scrambling out in a panic.


    But Old Drunkard��s face changed and he said, ��Ye Yuan, can��t let him go! You believe in this sort of nonsense too?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, why wouldn��t I believe?��


    Old Drunkard had an appearance like he expected better of him and gritted his teeth and said, ��This brat is a silkpants. After you humiliated him like this, he��ll definitely go and tell Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain to come and kill you after he returns! Quickly leave, it will be too late otherwise!��


    In his view, even though Ye Yuan��s talent was terrifying, he was too young and believed in people too easily.


    He was somewhat perplexed. With this kind of personality, how did he survive until now?


    But Ye Yuan avoided the topic and said with a smile, ��What plans does Senior Drunkard have in the future?��


    Old Drunkard��s expression turned stiff and he said with a bitter smile, ��What plans can I still have? Us guardians all have a wisp of divine soul imprint in the hands of Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain. Even if I run to the ends of the world, I can��t escape his pursuit either. Rather, it��s you, it will be too late if you still don��t go! Hurry up and leave!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Like this huh? Then just nice. After Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain arrives, I��ll have a good talk with him and take back your divine soul imprint.��


    Old Drunkard was anxious until he almost wanted to jump up. This guy really would not shed tears without seeing the coffin!


    Were Heavenly Emperors whom you could reason things out with?


    But if Ye Yuan did not leave, he really could not do anything about it.


    Ye Yuan��s present strength already made him unable to influence the former.


    He tried his best to persuade Ye Yuan to leave, but Ye Yuan just refused to go.


    It was not that Ye Yuan was deliberately hiding from Old Drunkard, but that if he said that he could deal with Heavenly Emperors, Old Drunkard would not believe it either.


    Ye Yuan helped Old Drunkard heal his wounds and took out a Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill for Old Drunkard.


    Old Drunkard was shocked speechless. After consuming this Heaven Seizing Good Fortune Pill, he broke through to the Empyrean Realm without any surprise.


    This step had blocked him for hundreds of thousands of years.


    He thought that he could not take this step for life. He did not expect that Ye Yuan resolved it with a medicinal pill.


    But not long after he broke through, Tang Yucheng led a large contingent of troops over.


    A pair of husband and wife slowly walked out, looking at Ye Yuan coldly.


    Old Drunkard��s expression changed wildly and he cried out in shock, ��Even Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance came as well! I asked you to go, but you refused to leave! Now, you can��t leave even if you want to!��


    As he said, Old Drunkard revealed a hint of a bitter smile.


    This couple was precisely Tang Yucheng��s father and mother. They were Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance!


    These two were both First Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    ��Hahaha �� you fool, you��re actually really still here! Father, Mother, it��s this punk who almost killed me! You have to avenge me!�� Tang Yucheng said sobbingly.


    Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance felt her heart ached and hurriedly consoled, ��Cheng-er, don��t cry! Mother��s heart hurts! Don��t you worry, Mother will definitely cut this punk into little pieces and avenge you!��


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s brows furrowed and he looked at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Brat, it��s you who made a move against Cheng-er and even killed this Heavenly Emperor��s subordinates?��

 Chapter 2276 - Still Remember Those Two Pats?

    Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yucheng and said with a look of surprise, ��I trusted you so much, and yet you actually sold me out?��


    Tang Yucheng laughed loudly and said, ��If I didn��t say that, would you let me go? What a fool! You got fooled by me with a few words!��


    Ye Yuan had an expression like he had resigned himself to fate and said with a sigh, ��Sigh, why did you have to do this?��


    Tang Yucheng said smugly, ��A measly lowly ant, do you really think that I��d take it to heart? This Heavenspan World has too many ants! My cousin toyed with a few ants, what does it matter? But Old Drunkard killed him! That violated heavenly law!��


    Tang Yucheng was a so-called proud son of heaven!


    He was birthed by two great Heavenly Emperors. Furthermore, his roots were excellent. He was an Empyrean Realm super powerhouse the moment he was born.


    In his eyes, those below Empyrean Realm were all ants.


    How could this kind of silkpants think anything of the life and death of mere Divine Lord Realms?


    Tang Yucheng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��You think that you can be lawless and unruly with just a peak Empyrean cultivation? This young master tells you, in front of my father and mother, you��re likewise an ant!��


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain looked at Ye Yuan, his gaze cold as he said, ��Heard that? In front of a Heavenly Emperor, all are ants! Punk, are you ending yourself, or do you want this Heavenly Emperor to take action?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but looked at Tang Yucheng and said smilingly, ��But in my eyes, you��re an ant too!��


    Tang Yucheng laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��So what if I��m an ant? In front of my parents, can you still kill me?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yucheng like looking at a fool and said with a smile, ��Still remember the two pats that I patted you with before you left?��


    Tang Yucheng��s expression changed, and he said in horror, ��Y-You��re scaring me?��


    Not just Tang Yucheng, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s and Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance��s expressions changed wildly, looking over toward Tang Yucheng subconsciously.


    However, it was already too late.


    Pah!


    Ye Yuan snapped his fingers. All of a sudden, countless sword energy poured out of the body.


    Tang Yucheng was directly sliced into countless chunks by the sword energy.


    Those two pats were sword energy left within Tang Yucheng��s body.


    As long as Ye Yuan activated it, it would erupt crazily.


    It was just that with Tang Yucheng��s strength, he was unable to detect it at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance two people stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Their own son was killed in front of them just like this! His corpse could not even be assembled back fully!


    Old Drunkard also had a thunderstruck look. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so crazy, to actually kill the son of Heavenly Emperors in front of them.


    Looking at it now, it was not that Ye Yuan was ignorant of worldly affairs.


    But since he planted sword energy inside Tang Yucheng��s body, why didn��t he threaten the two great Heavenly Emperors with this?


    He discovered that he could not understand the way Ye Yuan did things at all!


    But Ye Yuan did not care. Like he did a trivial thing, he smiled and said, ��Inviting the two of you here is to ask you two for something. Return Old Drunkard��s divine soul imprint to me, okay?��


    Rumble!


    Rumble!


    Two terrifying forces rushed straight for Ye Yuan like sharp swords.


    ��Divine soul imprint? Heh heh! You killed my son, this emperor will definitely grind your bones to dust to vent the hatred in my heart!�� Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance bellowed shrilly.


    Tang Yucheng was important in her heart. Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance doted on him to the extreme, unable to bear letting him suffer at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually killed him just like this. So how could Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance not be furious?


    She vented all of her wrath on Ye Yuan.


    After being stunned, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain was similarly enraged to the extreme and said in a cold voice, ��Very good, punk! You��ve got guts! Very soon, you��ll regret having come to this world!��


    Swoosh!


    Not waiting for Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain to take action, Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance already teleported in front of Ye Yuan and suddenly smacked a palm down.


    Dao marks flickered. The terrifying energy undulation made the expressions of everyone present suddenly change.


    The attack of a Heavenly Emperor in anger, how terrifying was the power?


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure!


    But right at this time, over a thousand flying swords suddenly flew out. A terrifying sword formation suddenly lit up.


    In an instant, Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance was trapped by the sword formation.


    Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance came in anger, but at this time, she was extremely alarmed and furious.


    Being trapped inside the sword formation, whatever Dao marks, whatever heaven and earth pressure, it all could not stand up to a single blow in front of the sword formation.


    At present, Ye Yuan was already faintly going to break through to the next realm, virtually standing at the peak of Chaos Realm. Regardless of whether it was divine essence or soul force, it climbed to an unattainable peak.


    The power of the sword formation was significantly stronger than when at the Hidden Lineage!


    At that time, this sword formation could already overpower the divine race��s powerhouses, let alone a mere First Firmament Heavenly Emperor?


    In other people��s view, Heavenly Emperors might be very powerful.


    But in Ye Yuan��s eyes, it was also just like that.


    Old Drunkard��s pupils constricted, the shock in his heart unable to be any greater.


    He never thought that Ye Yuan��s strength could actually already contend with Heavenly Emperors!


    ��This �� This is simply too astonishing! He clearly only has Empyrean Realm cultivation, but he can rival Heavenly Emperors! Even Lord Immortal Grove is far inferior to him too!��


    Old Drunkard initially felt that Ye Yuan having peak Divine Lord cultivation in 2000 years was already astonishingly talented.


    But he discovered that Ye Yuan��s growth already completely exceeded his cognition!


    In just 2000 years, from an Origin Deity Realm brat, growing into a leviathan who had the ability to rival Heavenly Emperors!


    This sort of thing, he did not even dare to think about it!


    He finally understood why Ye Yuan did not care about Tang Yucheng��s identity in the slightest.


    Because he totally had this strength!


    Over there, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in shock, ��Sword Dao source! Formation Dao source!��


    Just a breath��s time, Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance��s world domain was already compressed by Ye Yuan��s sword formation significantly.


    Before long, this sword formation would be able to breach Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance��s defenses.


    At that time, Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance could only face a dead end.


    How could he still hesitate? He shouted, ��Wife, I��ll come and help you!��


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain took a step and circled out the sword formation, charging straight for Ye Yuan himself.


    As long as he killed Ye Yuan, the sword formation would naturally collapse on itself!


    It was just that, how could Ye Yuan let him do as he wished?


    All of a sudden, half of the flying swords in the sword formation pulled back, directly matching up against Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain.


    Both sides fought fiercely without rest. The terrifying energy fought until the surroundings were full of pits and holes.


    Ye Yuan battling two great Heavenly Emperors with his power alone, he was not the least bit afraid, and faintly showed signs of suppressing the two people instead.


    The subordinates that Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain brought over were already dumbfounded.


    This brat that popped out from no idea where, his strength was also too fearsome, right?


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain currently had a bitterness that he could not articulate. He thought that Ye Yuan dividing the forces to save himself, with their two great Heavenly Emperors�� strength, they would naturally be able to crack the sword formation.


    But, Ye Yuan merely used half the flying swords and trapped him already.


    He unleashed all of his abilities and was barely able to fight to a draw with Ye Yuan.


    But fortunately, the pressure at Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance that side fell sharply, and she could resist the sword formation presently.


    Ye Yuan controlled the sword formation and still had the strength to spare as he said coolly, ��Me letting him go was already giving him a chance. Yet, he called the two of you over, that��s him courting death. Not educating the son is the father��s fault! The two of you brought up such a son, you��re also no better yourselves. Since that��s the case, I��ll send you guys on your way then!��

 Chapter 2277 - I’ll Explain It Myself

    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and his wife felt shocked.


    They already fought to this extent. Could it be that Ye Yuan was still holding back measures?


    Seemingly confirming that they were thinking in their hearts, more than ten streaks of sword light flew out again, instantly replacing more than ten swords in the sword formation.


    These dozen flying swords were precisely the 12 heavenly emperor spirit treasures that were plundered from the divine race!


    The hearts of Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and wife shook wildly!


    The moment he made his move, it was 12 heavenly emperor spirit treasures. This boy was really loaded as hell.


    In the entire Heavenspan World, those who could be so bold and unrestrained were not many either.


    But Ye Yuan was still merely an Empyrean brat!


    The moment 12 heavenly emperor spirit treasures joined in, the power of the sword formation immediately skyrocketed.


    Heavenly emperor spirit treasures were not some ordinary goods. Their power was God knows how many times stronger than Empyrean spirit treasures.


    These 12 flying swords as the eye of the formation could make the power of the sword formation increase significantly!


    Very soon, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and wife were getting somewhat overwhelmed, their defensive circle quickly shrinking.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s mind trembled strongly and he hurriedly cried out in alarm, ��Fellow Daoist, it��s all a misunderstanding! All a misunderstanding! The two of us husband and wife are under Heavenly Emperor Swordtime��s command. We are the Heavenspan Mountain��s passageways�� administrators. Maybe you haven��t heard of Heavenly Emperor Swordtime before, but he��s a Deva Fourth Blight sovereign powerhouse! This matter was all the two of us husband and wife��s fault. It was the two of us who failed in discipline, that��s how Tang Yucheng this unfilial son happened! Fellow Daoist killed him well, the two of us husband and wife have nothing to say! Fellow Daoist please raise your hand high up in mercy and let the two of us leave.��


    The voice at Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain this side had yet to fade when they heard a roar from Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance that side came over.


    ��Tang Swiftrain you coward! The enmity of killing my son is irreconcilable under the heavens, and yet you��re actually lowering your head to the enemy?! Want to leave, you leave! This old lady will fight it out with him!��


    After talking, she turned to Ye Yuan again and screamed, ��Boy, kill me if you have the capability! Killing an administrator without permission, Heavenly Emperor Swordtime won��t let you off! Come on, kill me!��


    The current Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance was an out-and-out lunatic.


    She knew that she was not Ye Yuan��s match. She was actually threatening to take revenge with her death.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s expression changed drastically, and he was just about to explain but heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Is that so? Then as you wish!��


    ��Immobilize!��


    Heavenly Emperor True Word directly came out of his mouth, immobilizing Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance dead in her tracks.


    Then, hundreds of flying swords turned into countless sword lights, shuttling past in the air, slicing Heavenly Emperor Phoenixdance into countless pieces.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s mind shook fiercely. He did not think that Ye Yuan still had such heaven-defying means.


    Sword formation coupled with Heavenly Emperor True Word, killing Heavenly Emperors like killing dogs!


    ��F-Fellow Daoist, this woman is already crazy. You don��t stoop to her level. She and that unfilial son provoked fellow Daoist. It was them who sought death themselves. But my identity is different, you can��t kill me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain was really afraid!


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed made him shudder with fear.


    Currently, Ye Yuan could control all of the flying swords to set up the sword formation. With his strength, he absolutely could not block it.


    He currently wished to piece Tang Yucheng together and slice him up again. Just what kind of existence did this punk provoke?!


    But Ye Yuan smiled brightly and said, ��Indeed father and son, even the methods used are cut from the same cloth. After I let you leave, you��ll probably call for reinforcements again, right? Just now, your subordinate already transmitted a communication talisman. So �� you��re buying time?��


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain was extremely shocked. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had time to observe his men when controlling so many flying swords.


    ��Misunderstanding, really a misunderstanding! That was all that subordinate acting on his own. After Lord Xin Yu arrives, I��ll explain to him!�� Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain resorted to sophistry.


    ��No need, I��d better explain it to him myself! Just nice, I can find him to take back Old Drunkard��s divine soul imprint.��


    Ye Yuan said it nonchalantly, but his divine sense suddenly controlled the flying swords and swept over towards Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain.


    The complete sword formation coming together, the power immediately soared crazily.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain unleashed all of his abilities and could not resist Ye Yuan��s attacks too.


    ��Ahh! Punk, killing me, you��ll die too! Lord Xin Yu won��t spare you!��


    Amidst the miserable screams, Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain was also sliced into countless chunks.


    In a blink, two great Heavenly Emperor powerhouses fell.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain��s subordinates were all shocked and speechless.


    ��Two great Heavenly Emperors! D-Died just like this?�� Old Drunkard muttered to himself, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.


    Heavenly Emperors were invincible!


    This was the irrefutable fact in everyone��s hearts.


    But today, Ye Yuan used his formidable strength and shattered this fact.


    With a wave of a hand, cutting down two great Heavenly Emperors in a row, suppressing the four directions!


    This young man was too powerful!


    Ye Yuan looked at Old Drunkard and said with a faint smile, ��Heavenly Emperors are people too. As long as they are people, they will die, what��s strange about it?��


    Old Drunkard had a strange look and said, ��But �� But that was a Heavenly Emperor!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��It will be fine once you��re used to it. The great era is coming. Ordinary Heavenly Emperors are also just cannon fodders.��


    Just as he was speaking, an even more terrifying pressure suddenly descended.


    A figure stepped out of the void, his gaze looking towards Ye Yuan coldly.


    ��Lord Xin Yu came, this punk is dead for sure!��


    ��Lord Xin Yu, this brat killed Lord Swiftrain and Lord Phoenixdance! His sins are heinous!��


    �� ��


    Lord Xin Yu looked at Ye Yuan with a frown and exclaimed in surprise, ��An Empyrean killed two Heavenly Emperors?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That��s right. They were killed by me. You should be Heavenly Emperor Swordtime��s subordinate, right?��


    This Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s strength was extremely strong, he was a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    However, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously.


    This kind of powerhouse, he had seen before far too many of them.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s attitude, Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu was very unhappy and said in a solemn voice, ��So what if yes? Aren��t you going to give me an explanation for today��s matter?��


    Ye Yuan slowly took out a token. An aura of Great Dao suddenly released.


    ��Wonder if this explanation is enough or not?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu saw the token, his mind shook fiercely and he cried out in surprise, ��Priest Temple��s token! You �� You��re the Priest Temple��s Second Sage!��


    Ye Yuan put away the token and said coolly, ��It��s precisely this Ye!��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu woke up from the shock and said in a solemn voice, ��Even if you��re Second Sage, if you don��t give an account for today��s matter, it still won��t pass!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and briefly recounted the entire sequence of events and said, ��Wonder if you��re still satisfied with this explanation? These two people came to kill me and were killed by me because their strength was lacking. It��s just like that.��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu listened until his brows furrowed hard. He did not expect that such a thing actually appeared under his jurisdiction.


    If it was an ordinary time, then forget it. Yet, they provoked the Priest Temple��s Second Sage.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s status was not worse than Heavenly Emperor Swordtime.


    Ye Yuan as the Second Sage, his status approached Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s status.


    Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and his wife, they wanted to kill Ye Yuan in the first place. This was blasphemous to begin with.


    Being killed by Ye Yuan, they could only blame them for being unlucky.


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said, ��This matter was Xin Yu who failed in disciplining them. Offending Lord Second Sage, Xin Yu apologizes here.��


    Everyone turned to stone!

 Chapter 2278 - Younger Brother Drunkard

    Lord Xin Yu actually apologized to this Empyrean!


    In the hearts of these subordinates, Lord Xin Yu was an existence who was too lofty to reach, controlling the life and death of all life.


    Such an existence actually apologized to an Empyrean!


    The key thing was that this Empyrean even just killed two of his own Heavenly Emperors.


    If Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain and his wife were to come back to life at this time, they would probably be angered until they died again.


    They fully thought that Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu would avenge them when he came.


    But Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu came to apologize!


    The Heavenspan Mountain was too far from the Southern Border. With these subordinates�� level, they completely never heard of what status this Second Sage had.


    But by the side, Old Drunkard was shocked again and again.


    A Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor super sovereign actually admitted his fault to Ye Yuan.


    From just now, he was stunned by the series of turn of events.


    He thought that Ye Yuan killing Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain was already the limit that he could understand.


    But Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s apology subverted his understanding once again.


    ��Forget it, they are already dead. Let��s leave this matter at this! Rather, this old drunkard is this Ye��s old friend. This Ye asks Brother Xin Yu for a favor and to take back your divine soul imprint. There��s no issue, right?�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Xin Yu gave Old Drunkard a glance. Old Drunkard��s entire body turned stiff.


    Being stared at by a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor supreme powerhouse, he really had a feeling of heart palpitations.


    ��Piece of cake!�� Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu said with a smile.


    Old Drunkard had an astounded look. He took back his divine soul imprint so easily?


    He had been struggling here for ten years, wanting to leave, but also not daring to leave.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan settled it with a word.


    This was the difference in level!


    Actually, what Tang Yucheng said was right.


    In the eyes of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, they were ant-like existences.


    The thing that he felt was most difficult was merely a matter of a sentence in the eyes of the true bigshots.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan already entered this level.


    Old Drunkard looked at Ye Yuan, attempting to overlap him with that weak youth 2000 years ago.


    He discovered that the person was still that person, but the feeling he gave him was already totally different.


    Not that Ye Yuan changed, but that his mentality changed!


    ��Lord Second Sage coming here, is it possible that you��re going up the mountain to gain enlightenment on Dao?�� Xin Yu asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right, precisely going up the mountain.��


    Xin Yu said, ��Since Second Sage wants to go up the mountain, please follow me to Green Lotus Town then. This place is the Dao enlightenment entrance of Divine Lord Realm martial artists.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need, I��ll just go up from here.��


    Xin Yu was taken aback and said, ��Second Sage can��t enter from here.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not follow up. He said to Old Drunkard, ��Senior Drunkard, you take a trip with them. After taking back your divine sense imprint, just wait for me to come back here.��


    Finished talking, not waiting for everyone to react, he arrived at the passageway entrance in one step.


    Ye Yuan walked up slowly and went straight into the passageway.


    The Heavenspan Mountain did not have the slightest reaction.


    Xin Yu��s pair of eyes stared like wide-saucers.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Disregarding the Heavenspan Mountain��s rules, this can only be done by Deva Realm powerhouses! He �� He��s only at the Empyrean Realm! Could it be that his Dao already reached this kind of level? But since he already reached such a level, why is he still going up the mountain from here?�� Xin Yu said in shock.


    A belly full of questions shrouded Xin Yu��s heart.


    He discovered that the mysteries on this young Second Sage��s body were really too many.


    Only after a long time did he smile bitterly and said, ��That��s right. If not for possessing this level of strength, how could he be honored as Second Sage by the Priest Temple at a young age?��


    Finished saying, his gaze turned towards Old Drunkard, and he said with a smile, ��Brother Drunkard is it? huhu, being able to follow Lord Second Sage, you��ve really cultivated eight lifetimes of fortune! Cherish this opportunity well!��


    Old Drunkard was in fear and trepidation and repeatedly said dare not.


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu actually addressed him as his brother!


    His words exuded warmness.


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu laughed loudly and said, ��There��s nothing to be afraid of, this is your great lucky chance! Speaking of which, this Heavenly Emperor has to curry favor with you now too.��


    Old Drunkard��s face changed and he almost knelt down, saying in fear and trepidation, ��Lord Xin Yu, stop joking with me, this �� this old drunkard can��t bear it!��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu smiled and said, ��That��s because you don��t know who he is! The Priest Temple��s Second Sage, the alchemy world��s upstart, his status is extremely revered! Now, everyone is saying that he��ll become the next medicine ancestor! One of his medicinal pills is hard to get even with a mountain of gold! If he was still in the Empyrean Realm, this emperor naturally wouldn��t say this sort of words too. But looking at his appearance, coming to Heavenspan Mountain to gain enlightenment on Dao is probably in order to break through to be a Heavenly Emperor! Do you know what the act of him breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor means?��


    Old Drunkard had a lifeless look, his mind somewhat being overwhelmed.


    Medicine Ancestor!


    What level of existence was that?


    This level of existence, he did not even dare to think about it!


    Heavenspan World, even if one was Heaven Glimpse or Grotto Profound Realm, they would also know the Medicine Ancestor��s great name!


    He was the well-deserved alchemy world��s number one person!


    Ye Yuan actually already reached this kind of terrifying realm?


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu knew that Old Drunkard��s level was too low and did not know about the terror of Ye Yuan��s identity at all. He ignored his shock and continued, ��Once he breaks through to be a Heavenly Emperor, it signifies becoming a rank eight Alchemy God! At that time, the entire Heavenspan World��s Heavenly Emperors would all have to curry favor with him. He hasn��t truly risen yet currently. So this Heavenly Emperor is naturally happy to be able to form a good relationship with him. Brother Drunkard, these few days, you go to my place and we��ll have a nice catch-up.��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu dragged Old Drunkard and left with a big smile.


    Swiftrain��s subordinates were all shocked speechless. Only then did they know what kind of existence Heavenly Emperor Swiftrain provoked.


    Tang Yucheng this fool��s action was indeed damning!


    �� ��


    Entering again the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan felt another wave of thoughts and feelings.


    Even if it was below ten miles, there was an additional trace of different flavor in Ye Yuan��s eyes too.


    The first time he came, his realm was too low and completely unable to experience the profoundness of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Below ten miles also contained extremely rich power of Great Dao source.


    Ye Yuan affirmed these source power with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain one by one, continuously revamping and perfecting the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    Ye Yuan went up the steps one at a time, his mind revolving rapidly.


    ��You guys, look, that kid keeps walking up and actually doesn��t know to stop and comprehend on Dao. What can he comprehend like this?��


    ��Huhu, reckon that it��s a fool.��


    ��Maybe he��s a genius. The things that you use several years before you can comprehend, he can comprehend after stopping a while.��


    �� ��


    Towards Ye Yuan��s actions, many people scoffed in derision.


    When everyone comprehended Dao, they would occupy an area and desperately go and comprehend.


    Keep going up like this, lapping up information without digesting, one could not comprehend anything at all.


    It was just that they did not know that Ye Yuan had long already fully comprehended the Dao below ten miles.


    The things that he entered this time to comprehend were totally different from them.


    As he walked, Ye Yuan entered straight into the realm fog.


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.

 Chapter 2279 - Above 10,000 Miles!

    ��He �� He walked into the realm fog?��


    ��Could it be that he came to the Heavenspan Mountain to commit suicide?��


    ��Ah! I remember it now! He �� He��s that person!��


    Suddenly, a gray-robed man in the crowd cried out in surprise, seemingly recalling something.


    Many people who were comprehending Dao were all startled awake by his startled cry, all glaring at him.


    But the gray-robed man was completely oblivious.


    Someone said disdainfully, ��Who is it, kicking up a big fuss over nothing?! He entered the realm fog. Could it be that he can still not die?��


    The gray-robed man nodded his head like a realm fog and said, ��Really won��t die! I still didn��t notice it previously, but when I saw him enter the realm fog just now, I suddenly remembered that 2000 over years ago, someone also entered the realm fog before, and even came out alive! That person just now was that person who entered the realm fog the last time! However, his temperament changed greatly, I didn��t recognize him for a moment!��


    ��What?! This is impossible!��


    The gray-robed man smiled coldly and said, ��What��s impossible about it? The people who saw this scene at that time were not just me alone! During that while, it was seething with excitement below ten miles! But after we went out and talked about it, nobody believed it at all. At that time, I was just a Third Firmament Divine Lord. Over 2000 years passed, and I finally broke through to Ninth Firmament Divine Lord. But looking at his appearance, I wonder what kind of realm he has already reached!��


    Somebody said curiously, ��Could it be that he isn��t at the Divine Lord Realm? But I can��t see through his depths!��


    The gray-robed man said, ��Heh heh, with this person��s talent, how can he possibly just be Divine Lord Realm after 2000 years? Most likely, he��s already True God Realm!��


    Somebody immediately said disdainfully, ��Keep bragging, you! How can True God Realms possibly enter from here?��


    The gray-robed man smiled coldly and said, ��What the hell do you know? That person can��t be gauged using common sense at all! Back then, when he entered the Heavenspan Mountain, he was only Origin Deity Realm! He entered to break through to the Divine Lord Realm! He��s currently True God Realm, entering from here and re-comprehending again. I see no reason why not?��


    The gray-robed man��s words subverted everyone��s understanding of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    However, many people still did not believe it.


    After all, the things that the gray-robed man said were seriously too inconceivable!


    �� ��


    Buzz, buzz ��


    Inside the realm fog, blue electricity glowed indeterminately.


    Ye Yuan walked inside the fog and allowed those heaven punishment lightnings to land on his body freely.


    These heaven punishment lightnings did not pose the least bit of threat to the present Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan could feel the Heavenspan Mountain��s Dao through them!


    After careful understanding, Ye Yuan became more and more enlightened in his heart.


    Following that, he slowly walked out of the fog and arrived above ten miles, the domain of Celestial Deity Realm.


    The martial artists cultivating below were startled by this guy who suddenly appeared.


    It was impossible for anyone to come out of the realm fog.


    Those who entered all came in through the passageway.


    But now, there was actually a guy who emerged from the realm fog, how could they not be alarmed?


    However, Ye Yuan completely ignored their surprise, continuing to go up on his own.


    Ye Yuan had never been to this level before.


    After Ye Yuan came up, he instantly had another feeling.


    From below ten miles to above ten miles, integrating his cultivation method as well as the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s Dao, Ye Yuan discovered that everyone was wrong!


    His path was the correct path!


    Opening up a world after Origin Deity was tantamount to weaving a cocoon around one��s self, blocking all possibility of making progress.


    In contrast, Divine Lord Realms were more than a level worse than his Divine Vortex Realm.


    Disregarding law comprehensions, under the same realm, his Divine Vortex Realm was more than a magnitude stronger than Divine Lord Realm.


    Even though it was just a reference, but actually, Ye Yuan��s Divine Vortex Realm was stronger than Divine Lord Realm regardless of whether in terms of quality or quantity.


    And this gap widened further at Celestial Deity Realm!


    According to Ye Yuan��s inference, this gap would widen more evidently with each major realm in the future.


    Therefore, even though he was currently only at the peak Chaos Realm, but actually, his strength was no idea how many times stronger than ordinary peak Empyreans.


    Maybe it was not as good as First Firmament Heavenly Emperor yet, but it was also not far off[1].


    Therefore, that was why he could cut down two great Heavenly Emperors under the circumstances where he was behind in all aspects.


    What this relied on was not just the power of source, there was also his powerful cultivation realm as a backing.


    Ye Yuan continued upward step by step, continuously verifying his comprehension.


    But his appearance already completely disrupted the cultivation above ten miles.


    ��Where did this guy pop out from?��


    ��This old man has cultivated for so many years, but I��ve never heard of anyone who could come out of the realm fog before!��


    ��Who on earth is he? Looking at his appearance, he wouldn��t be directly entering the realm fog above 100 miles, right?��


    �� ��


    Everyone speculated one after another, Ye Yuan did not let them down either.


    Under everyone��s gaze, he walked into the realm fog above 100 miles.


    Following that, it was above 1000 miles!


    The places that Ye Yuan passed by were bound to cause a commotion.


    This guy came out of the realm fog every time.


    But the realm fog was the forbidden land of all martial artists, nobody could enter and still come out alive.


    After Ye Yuan left, those martial artists below could not cultivate anymore.


    They really wanted to see whether or not Ye Yuan could come out from inside.


    Then, in the entire Heavenspan Mountain, everyone stopped cultivating, all talking about this person.


    Of course, curiosity killed the cat.


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter the realm fog, there would always be someone who could not restrain their curiosity. They would follow him in.


    The result naturally went without saying.


    With Ye Yuan walking all the way up, quite a number of people attempted to imitate him.


    But after entering the realm fog, they discovered that this was completely not something that they could learn at all.


    Except, there was no medicine for regret in this world.


    Ye Yuan was not aware at all, all of his thoughts were already immersed in the enlightenment of Dao.


    This was the holy land to gain enlightenment on Dao, a Dao comprehending holy land even stronger than the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    To Ye Yuan��s Dao heart, it was a re-tempering.


    And his aura also grew stronger and stronger.


    Inside the chaos world, wind and clouds surged. Dao marks were flickering incessantly as if brewing some massive changes.


    Above 1000 miles, True God Realm!


    Above 10,000 miles, Empyrean Realm!


    Arriving above 10,000 miles, all the Empyreans looked at Ye Yuan with stunned faces, all extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s body even still had the burnt traces left behind by heaven punishment lightning.


    Electricity flashed on his body, giving people a hair-raising feeling.


    And all this was reminding everyone that he came out of the realm fog.


    Ye Yuan did not care at all, his cultivation method was already about to be perfected.


    As long as he walked until he reached above 10,000 miles, his cultivation method should be pretty much perfected.


    At that time, he would be able to open up his own world!


    A great world that belonged to him!


    That was right, what Ye Yuan was cleaving open was a great world!


    A great world virtually identical to the Heavenspan World!


    His great world was naturally not comparable to the Heavenspan World in terms of scale. But in terms of quality, Ye Yuan felt that it was not inferior at all!


    ��Y-Ye Yuan?��


    Suddenly, a weak voice sounded out, interrupting Ye Yuan��s thoughts.


    [1] Not far off as in raw power, no laws, no formation.

 Chapter 2280 - : Creation of the World

    Ye Yuan did not hear this voice. Currently, he already entered a mysterious realm.


    Walking along the way, his comprehension grew deeper and deeper.


    His consciousness already merged into the Heavenspan Mountain��s laws.


    Currently, in Ye Yuan��s eyes, the Heavenspan Mountain was no longer the Heavenspan Mountain but constructed out of one thick line after another.


    The moment these thick lines went out of the Heavenspan Mountain, they became thin threads.


    The thin threads interwove, spreading out, reaching into the distance.


    Ye Yuan fused his soul into Dao and saw this scene clearly.


    The thick lines and thin threads were in a very organic operation. It was as if operating according to some rule.


    The entire Heavenspan World was like an enormous running machine.


    And the Heavenspan Mountain was the core power for this machine��s operations.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was operating internally, then spurred the entire Heavenspan Mountain to operate.


    Everything and everything was running on its own according to some pattern.


    ��These thick lines should be the power of source, right? These thin threads have the power of source spreading out, it should be the various kinds of law powers!��


    ��Power of source is the root of the Heavenspan World��s operation, dominating all life in the world. And the further up, the more complex these powers of source. With my current realm, I��m unable to comprehend it at all.��


    ��However �� I don��t need to comprehend these powers of source currently, my world is created by me!��


    ��Climbing to Heavenly Emperor, overlooking the world, how my world should be created can basically be decided already!��


    �� ��


    Enlightenment gradually emerged in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Regarding how to create a new world, he had a clear outline too.


    Hence, he took a step forward and walked over towards the realm fog.


    ��Where did this guy pop out from? He �� is he going to enter the realm fog?��


    ��He should be going to breakthrough, right? Could it be that he��s going to pass through the realm fog and reach the realm of Heavenly Emperor that��s above 100 thousand miles?��


    ��What a powerful guy! Even Heavenly Emperors don��t dare to pass through the realm fog, he actually can!��


    �� ��


    The span of Empyrean Realm was very large, ranging from 10,000 miles to 100 thousand miles.


    Ye Yuan walking out of the realm fog already caused a great sensation in the entire Empyrean Realm region.


    Hence, his every action attracted much attention.


    Now, he was about to step above 100 thousand miles, it naturally caused an even greater commotion.


    There had never been anyone who sought a breakthrough using such a method on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    In the crowd, a beautiful figure dressed in a light blue veil kept watching Ye Yuan, her entire body shaking endlessly.


    Her words reached her mouth many times but were swallowed back down again.


    A thousand over years was not long, but to her, it brought many changes like what was once the sea has now changed into mulberry fields!


    It was just that she did not expect that when she saw Ye Yuan again, it would be at such an occasion.


    The current Ye Yuan had clearly already entered an extremely rare state of epiphany.


    Once interrupted by her, he might waste all the previous efforts.


    Hence, she did not open her mouth.


    Only all the way until Ye Yuan��s vanished completely into the realm fog did the tears in her eyes finally fall quietly.


    No idea how long had passed either, she suddenly smiled brightly, like flowers blooming.


    A hint of resolve flashed across in her eyes, and she quickly turned around and went down the mountain.


    �� ��


    Above 900 thousand miles, Heavenly Emperor Justbright had already been comprehending Dao here for more than 100 thousand years.


    Living for ten million years already, he already cultivated to the realm of Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Ten million years of bitter cultivation, he finally reached peak Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    Entering the Heavenspan Mountain this time, he finally broke through the final profound hurdle and achieved the supreme existence of Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    ��Hahaha �� This Heavenly Emperor finally broke through! Finally broke through! This emperor��s Deva blight tribulation will be arriving very soon. Breaking through to Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, my success rate will increase greatly! Absorb for me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright raised his head to the sky and roared excitedly. Cultivation method revolving, he absorbed heaven and earth spiritual energy frenziedly, breaking through this final layer of shackles.


    Above 900 thousand miles, how thick was the heaven and earth spiritual energy?


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright swallowed like a whale swallowing seawater, absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual energy frenziedly.


    But all of a sudden, his expression changed drastically.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Why did all of the spiritual energy run down the mountain? Not good, the rate of loss of spiritual energy is too fast! It��s already insufficient to support my breakthrough! Which damn fellow is doing this kind of depraved thing?��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright could not resist letting loose a torrent of abuse.


    He was right at the critical juncture of breakthrough. In the end, he discovered that the heaven and earth spiritual energy was gone.


    This kind of situation was simply removing firewood from under the boiler.


    100 thousand miles to one million miles, such a huge area was the Heavenly Emperor region.


    Even though the area was vast, when Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were placed in this vast region, it appeared very sparse.


    This region might not produce a breakthrough every tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.


    Now, things were good, he finally managed to break through, but was forcefully interrupted by someone in the end!


    How aggravating!


    After persisting for a while, Heavenly Emperor Justbright finally could not hold on anymore.


    He got to his feet, face black as the bottom of a pot, and went down the mountain seething with killing intent.


    ��I want to see who isn��t afraid of death, to dare snatch this Heavenly Emperor��s heaven and earth spiritual energy! I can��t take action on the Heavenspan Mountain. So when this Heavenly Emperor goes out, I��ll definitely dice you into pieces and vent the hatred in my heart!��


    When Ye Yuan walked out of the realm fog, reaching the Heavenly Emperor region above 100 thousand miles, he immediately had a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the bright moon.


    Everything suddenly became clear!


    Rumble!


    Inside of the world within Ye Yuan��s body, that region of chaos suddenly started trembling.


    The next instant, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon suddenly revolved!


    This time was more intense than any instance in the past.


    The heaven and earth spiritual energy above 100 thousand miles gathered over toward Ye Yuan here frenziedly.


    Every one of Ye Yuan��s pores was working at full power, absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual energy and converting it to divine essence.


    Currently, within Ye Yuan��s body, it was like there were trillions of rivers merging into the sea.


    The incomparably berserk divine essence poured into the chaos world like a tsunami.


    The chaos world was expanding crazily!


    Currently, the chaos world was like a balloon, the berserk divine essence seemed to be pumping air inside.


    In a very short time, the circumference of the chaos world rapidly increased.


    From 100 thousand feet to 200 thousand feet, 500 thousand feet, one million feet, ten million feet!


    In a short while, Ye Yuan��s chaos world expanded a hundred times!


    Crack �� Crack, crack ��


    All of a sudden, the chaos world suddenly fissured from the middle!


    Splitting into two!


    The top half became taller and taller, higher and higher.


    The lower half became lower and lower, increasingly lower!


    A figure suddenly appeared in the chaos world, it was precisely Ye Yuan!


    Only to see his palm face the sky, and suddenly smack a palm out.


    At the same time, his feet stomped fiercely!


    The two discs of chaos separated further and further, becoming more and more distinct from each other.


    No idea how long had passed either, these two sides finally stabilized.


    Looking at this brand new world, Ye Yuan��s face revealed a trace of a knowing smile.


    ��Chaos dividing into yin and yang, separating heaven and earth! One as heaven, one as earth! This realm, I��ll call it the World Realm then!��

 Chapter 2281 - Carrot and Stick

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Looking at his new world, Ye Yuan��s face could not help revealing a wry smile.


    ��Even if expanded a hundred times, my world is also just a drop in the ocean compared to the Heavenspan World!��


    Ye Yuan��s internal world was not the slightest bit inferior to the Heavenspan World in terms of quality.


    But in terms of scale, it was far inferior.


    Compared to the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan��s internal world could be said to be a pocket-sized world.


    However, Ye Yuan was not discouraged.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was a complete world, while his world still had a lot of potentials which could keep on being tapped.


    He believed that one day, he could create a world that could be on par with the Heavenspan Mountain.


    ��I just broke through to the World Realm currently, but the thickness in terms of divine essence is already not inferior to peak First Firmament Heavenly Emperor! Coupled with Time Freeze and other divine abilities, even if I run into Third Firmament Heavenly Emperors, I have the power to fight too!��


    The breakthrough this time, the increase in strength was tremendous.


    When he was at peak Chaos Realm, he could cut down a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse.


    Now that his strength soared, being able to rival Third Firmament Heavenly Emperors was not incomprehensible.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly and he cried out in shock, ��Damn it, here it is again!��


    The eighth Nirvanic Tribulation arrived as promised!


    Every inch of Ye Yuan��s body was becoming decayed and aged.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that the nirvanic tribulation this time actually could not be defied!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a cold snort, ��So what if it can��t be defied? I have an entire world as my backing. Can��t I pull through a measly little nirvanic tribulation? Heaven and earth law, impose on my body!��


    Ye Yuan established a connection between his fleshy body and the entire chaos world, drawing on the chaos world��s power endlessly.


    Those necrotic muscles were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    However, the rank eight nirvanic tribulation was indeed terrifying. Even if he drew the power of the world, it could only barely manage to let the speed of regeneration catch up to the speed of necrosis.


    However, Ye Yuan��s chaos world could draw the outside world��s heaven and earth spiritual energy inexhaustibly to replenish. It was equivalent to Ye Yuan borrowing the power of the Heavenspan Mountain to tide over the nirvanic tribulation this time.


    No matter how strong your nirvanic tribulation was, it was also impossible to be stronger than the Heavenspan Mountain.


    No idea how long time had passed, and then the nirvanic tribulation finally stopped.


    The speed of regeneration finally surpassed the rate of necrosis.


    His fleshy body was rapidly recovering.


    Finished transcending the nirvanic tribulation, Ye Yuan felt lingering fear too.


    ��No wonder no one dared to cultivate the perfect Nine Transformations Golden Body. This rank eight nirvanic tribulation isn��t some nirvanic tribulation, but a certain-death tribulation. My chaos world is so powerful and I was still in such perilous danger. If it were others, they would have long died ten times over!�� Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    But the more dangerous, the greater the benefits obtained naturally.


    Currently, Ye Yuan��s fleshy body obtaining the blessing of Heavenly Emperor could forcefully contend with heavenly emperor spirit treasures.


    His casual punch could blow up a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse!


    �� ��


    The fog gathered by heaven and earth spiritual energy finally scattered away, revealing Ye Yuan��s figure.


    ��Turns out that it��s a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor little baby! Punk, you��re deliberately causing trouble, right?��


    ��Impudent brat, if you don��t give this emperor an explanation today, this emperor will definitely make you regret being born in this world!��


    ��Punk, you simply incur the wrath of gods and men when you do things! Do you know that you��ve already offended all of the Heavenly Emperors on the mountain?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, he was drowned by spittles.


    A large group of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses surrounded, all scolding with flushed faces, filled with righteous indignation.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look, completely unaware of what was going on.


    In the crowd, Heavenly Emperor Justbright suddenly rushed in front of Ye Yuan, pointed at Ye Yuan��s node, and said viscously, ��Punk, this Heavenly Emperor has remembered you! Just you wait, after going out of the Heavenspan Mountain, this Heavenly Emperor will hunt you down till the end of the world!��


    The moment Heavenly Emperor Justbright spoke up, the rest quietened down and used a very pitiful gaze to look at him.


    This guy was too tragic!


    Finally managed to corroborate the path of Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor supreme realm. In the end, the spiritual energy was directly drained by Ye Yuan, forcefully interrupting his breakthrough.


    No idea when would be the next time he found this opportunity.


    ��Right, kill him! Not killing him, this old man can��t stomach this anger!��


    ��Kill him!��


    ��Kill him!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��Senior, how did I offend you? There��s no need to be so cruel, right?��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright stomped about in a frenzy and said, ��How did you offend me? How did you offend me?! You just offended me!��


    Actually, it was not like this mountain full of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not struggle before.


    When Ye Yuan plundered the spiritual energy, they also attempted to absorb spiritual energy.


    But, no matter how high their realm was, they could not win Ye Yuan at all!


    Ye Yuan this side was like a vacuum zone, the heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered over here frenziedly.


    No matter how hard they worked, it was all useless.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was odd. Suddenly, he grinned and said, ��Since everyone wants to kill me, then I can��t let you all go out of the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright said with a disdainful look, ��Not letting us go out ����


    Bang!


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s words were said halfway when it abruptly stopped, his face already struck by Ye Yuan��s fist, fresh blood pouring.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed, one punch after another pummeling the group of Heavenly Emperors until they fled helter-skelter, wails of doom filling the lands.


    No matter how strong they were, they could not escape Ye Yuan��s violent hands at all.


    ��Ahh! Why! Why isn��t he restricted by the Heavenspan Mountain and can attack at will?��


    ��Heavenspan Mountain, open your eyes and smite this guy!��


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Why doesn��t the Heavenspan Mountain have any reaction at all?��


    �� ��


    The Heavenly Emperors all shouted frantically, but the Heavenspan Mountain still did not have the slightest bit of activity.


    Before long, the strongest group of people in this world fell to the ground.


    They did not dare to fight back and could only get beaten.


    Ye Yuan did not kill but beat until they cried for their father and mother.


    Eighth transformation perfect golden body was no joke!


    Ye Yuan grabbed Heavenly Emperor Justbright and smashed a fist on his face again and said, ��Still want to kill me?��


    ��Kill! Blocking one��s breakthrough is akin to killing people��s parents! Kill me today if you have the ability! Otherwise, this Heavenly Emperor will definitely hunt you down to the ends of the world!��


    Bang!


    ��Still killing or not?��


    ��Killing!��


    Bang!


    ��Still killing or not?��


    ��Not killing anymore! Not killing anymore! You �� Stop hitting me!��


    Ye Yuan let go of Heavenly Emperor Justbright and said with a sigh, ��Wouldn��t there be no need to suffer so much physical hardship if you say it earlier? Swear a Heavenly Dao Oath then!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright had an appearance like his parents had died. Under Ye Yuan��s despotic power, he swore a Heavenly Dao Oath.


    Ye Yuan did not kill. He only beat these guys until they were in pain, and then forced them to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath one by one.


    After everything was settled, Ye Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Being hunted down by the mountain full of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses was not a fun thing.


    After he finished forcing everyone to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, Ye Yuan arrived before Heavenly Emperor Justbright and patted his shoulder.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright jumped in fright and said with a mournful face, ��I �� I already swore the Heavenly Dao Oath!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Elder Brother, today��s matter was my fault. In order to compensate you, this Ye can refine a Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill for you free!��

 Chapter 2282 - : Well Beaten!

    ��Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill! You �� You know how to refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill?��


    Hearing the name Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s breathing could not help becoming tense. But very soon, he smiled coldly and said, ��Continue bragging, kid! Don��t talk about the fact that you just broke through to Heavenly Emperor Realm; even if you cultivate to Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, it��s also impossible to refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill!��


    Rank eight divine pills were too difficult to refine!


    To Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, even the most rubbish medicinal pill could make them excited for many years.


    Rank eight divine pills were supreme level medicinal pills.


    Without the strength of Ancestor Realm, there was no way to touch it at all!


    But even if you had Ancestor Realm strength, it also did not mean that you could refine rank eight divine pills.


    Therefore, the number of Eight-star Alchemy Gods was few and far between.


    Furthermore, the further Eight-star Alchemy Gods went up, the more difficult it got!


    A Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill was a level seven difficulty and above rank eight divine pill. The refining difficulty could be imagined.


    Even some Eight-star Alchemy Gods with extremely deep qualifications could not refine it, let alone talk about a brat who just broke through to Heavenly Emperor.


    Eight-star Alchemy Gods that could refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, each one was a supreme level figure of the Heavenspan World.


    In terms of status, they were much higher than even Heavenly Emperor Justbright, this Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    A kid who just broke through to Heavenly Emperor Realm said that he wanted to refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, wasn��t this a joke?


    ��Huhu, kid, you got to run it through your head when you��re boasting!��


    ��If you can refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, then I can eat the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    ��Who do you think you are? The reincarnation of the Medicine Ancestor? Able to refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill the moment you broke through?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately drew a wave of ridicule.


    Ye Yuan did not care and said with a light smile, ��Brother Justbright, this Ye isn��t joking with you. Later, you come to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma to find me. However, you have to gather the rank eight spirit medicines yourself. This Ye isn��t so loaded!��


    Finished talking, he turned around and walked towards the transmission array, and went out to the Heavenspan World.


    ��Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma �� Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, this name is so familiar! Ah! It �� It��s him!�� Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan cried out in surprise.


    The others had baffled looks, not knowing what this guy was yelling about.


    The name of this Bodhidharma, they had never heard before. It was clearly a minor faction.


    ��Kicking up a big fuss for what? Southern Border that kind of small place, what major faction can there be, being all startled!�� Heavenly Emperor Justbright wiped the blood on his face and said unhappily.


    Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan said, ��You all have been in retreat here for many years and completely don��t know how terrifying this person is!��


    When everyone heard it, they could not help becoming interested.


    Someone said, ��It��s just breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, what��s there to be afraid of? But his cultivation method is indeed rather sinister, to actually drain all the heaven and earth spiritual energy above 100 thousand miles! But so what? In the outside world, I can smack him to death with one slap!��


    But Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan became more and more excited, and he said, ��The significance of him breaking through to Heavenly Emperor is extraordinary! Lord Justbright, your beating wasn��t in vain, you made a fortune!��


    The moment Heavenly Emperor Justbright heard this, he was greatly enraged and said, ��Punk, this emperor remembered you! This emperor can��t do anything to that punk, but could it be that I still can��t do anything to you?��


    Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan��s expression changed greatly. He was just a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor, so how could he stand being marked by Heavenly Emperor Justbright?


    He waved his hand repeatedly and explained in a fluster, ��Lord Justbright, calm your anger! Hear me say it entirely first! This Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma is a new faction that just rose up in these recent few centuries. But no one dares to ignore this faction in the Heavenspan World anymore! That kid earlier is Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s leader! And he also has another identity! He is the Priest Temple��s Second Sage!��


    ��Second Sage! Sacred Ancestor High Priest is an existence second only to the Medicine Ancestor, he��s the Priest Temple��s Second Sage, then ���� When everyone heard this name, their faces finally became solemn.


    This Second Sage was not what anybody could take on!


    This title could only be recognized by the Sacred Ancestor High Priest himself.


    Furthermore, once he acknowledged it, it was equivalent to saying that Ye Yuan had strength that was not inferior to him!


    But, a brat who just broke through to Heavenly Emperor Realm, how could he possibly stand on equal footing as Sacred Ancestor High Priest?��


    Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan nodded and said, ��Not long ago, when he was still a Seven-star Alchemy God, he refined an end spirit divine-grade Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill, and forcefully created a Heavenly Emperor! At that time, he was hailed as the next Medicine Ancestor! Now, he broke through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor ����


    The words at the back, Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan did not speak, but the meaning was already very clear.


    This guy was remarkable!


    This kind of supreme level Eight-star Alchemy God would become the target of all Heavenly Emperors to suck up to!


    The Heavenly Emperors present were already stunned by Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan��s words.


    A Seven-star Alchemy God refining an end spirit divine-grade Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill!


    This level of skill was simply an accomplishment that surpassed ancient and modern times!


    Now that he broke through to Heavenly Emperor Realm, wouldn��t it be incredible?


    Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill was indeed hard to refine, but to Ye Yuan, it did not seem to be something beyond comprehension.


    ��Hahaha �� Well beaten! Well beaten! Beaten too well!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright suddenly burst into laughter and said three ��well beaten�� in a row, and said agitatedly, ��Kid, what you said is right, this beating was indeed not in vain! This emperor won��t hunt you down anymore, and even have to thank you well! If that boy can refine an end spirit Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, this emperor will also have more confidence in transcending the Deva blight tribulation! Well beaten! Really well beaten! Hahaha ����


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright laughed crazily, but everyone understood his feelings very well.


    Breaking through to become a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor was nothing. The scariest thing was still the Deva blight tribulation!


    End spirit Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill was much more helpful to Heavenly Emperor Justbright than breaking through to Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    At this time, everyone could not help looking at Heavenly Emperor Justbright rather enviously.


    This beating, he took it too beautifully!


    If they could, they would be willing to be pummeled into a pig��s head by Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright did not break through to become a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor this time, but he had blessings come to him in the disguise of misfortune!


    ��Haha, still cultivate my ass! This emperor will go out right now and quickly collect the spirit medicines and find that bra �� oh, no, find that master to refine the pill! Everyone, goodbye!��


    As he said, Heavenly Emperor Justbright left with a big laugh.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan left the Heavenspan Mountain through the transmission array and arrived at the Heavenly Fate Town where Heavenly Emperor powerhouses climbed the mountain.


    Returning to the Heavenspan World, he could teleport and return to Southfoot Town swiftly.


    Breaking through to World Realm, Ye Yuan��s divine essence was incomparably thick. A greater teleportation was the distance of a million miles.


    But when he was just about to leave, he heard somebody shout behind him, ��This �� Younger Brother Ye Yuan!��


    Ye Yuan turned out and looked, who could it be if not Heavenly Emperor Justbright?


    But seeing his fawning look, he clearly already knew his identity.


    ��It��s Brother Justbright huh? Why did you come out so quickly? Heavenspan Mountain Dao comprehension is the optimal place to breakthrough!�� Ye Yuan said with a joking look.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s old face was thick and he said with a smile, ��With you, this great deity around, still cultivate my ass! This old man will go and find spirit medicines right away, and then I��ll go to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma to find you later! You can��t renege on what you promised me!��

 Chapter 2283 - Old Friend

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��If you��re looking for spirit medicines, might as well take a trip with me together to Cloudheart Realm. The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference is hosting the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference, I believe that there won��t be a shortage of rank eight spirit medicines.��


    1


    Although he did not deliberately interrupt Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s breakthrough, this consequence was indeed caused by him.


    With Ye Yuan��s personality, he would naturally make up for it.


    Moreover, this matter was merely a matter of lifting a hand to him.


    Cloudheart Realm was the Medicine Ancestor��s Bodhidharma.


    The Medicine Ancestor opened up a world of his own and was aloof from worldly things.


    The Heavenspan World��s alchemy path powerhouses all took pride in being able to enter the Cloudheart Realm.


    It was just that the difficulty of entering Cloudheart Realm was too high, those with ordinary identities could not enter at all.


    Cloudheart Realm was the well-deserved number one alchemy holy land of the Heavenspan World!


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright was surprised when he heard that and said, ��There��s actually still this sort of thing? Cloudheart Realm hasn��t had any major activities in very long! Why did the Medicine Ancestor suddenly think of hosting this sort of grand event this time?��


    He was in closed-seclusion for many years and completely did not know about this.


    But with Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s status, he naturally knew about the moving direction of the Cloudheart Realm.


    The Cloudheart Realm had always been aloof from worldly affairs. It would not care about everything in the secular world at all.


    Even if they really organized something like an alchemy conference, it would also be held by his disciples in the secular world. They would not go to the Cloudheart Realm at all.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I said that it was organized in order to take a hit at me, will you believe me?��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright laughed loudly, his expression suddenly reining in as he said, ��I won��t believe even if you beat me to death! What kind of status does the Medicine Ancestor have? Why would he personally make a move to take you, a junior, down? Even if you��re the Priest Temple��s Second Sage, with your current strength, his disciples giving you a blow is more than enough, why would he need to drag in so many people?��


    Even though he knew that Ye Yuan was the Second Sage, he did not have a clear understanding of Ye Yuan��s strength.


    Even if Ye Yuan could refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, wanting to reach the level of Dao Ancestor��s realm, it was still too far away.


    Dao pills, that was the highest pinnacle of the alchemy path!


    And this step was virtually impossible to take.


    Since time immemorial, how many astonishingly talented alchemy powerhouses had attempted to reach the level of Dao pill.


    But they all did not succeed.


    Now, the Heavenspan World��s Dao pill powerhouses were far too few.


    Ye Yuan still had to continue working hard to prove his strength!


    It was just that he did not know that Ye Yuan had long already refined a Dao pill!


    If not because of this, why would the Medicine Ancestor take up arms and hold the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time?


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered to explain these. He just shrugged and said, ��Come on.��


    The two people left Heavenly Fate Town and were just about to teleport away, but discovered that there were some tiny black dots in the distance.


    Looking at the appearance, it was a group of people besieging a person.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright frowned and said, ��A bunch of little guys, a small squabble, no need to care about them, come on.��


    He looked over towards Ye Yuan but discovered that Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, his entire person already stepping out on the sky and went over there with one step.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Spatial law! What swift speed! This boy is indeed very peculiar!��


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    Several streaks of sword lights flashed past, there was instantly only one person left on the battlefield.


    When a woman in blue garment saw Ye Yuan, it was as if her entire person was drained, falling down softly.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, hurriedly going up to support.


    At this time, he was incomparably surprised in his heart. This girl in front of him was the Shadowmoon Sect��s Senior Apprentice Sister Baili Qingyan when he was in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm!


    This girl who should be in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm actually appeared in the Heavenspan World!


    Seeing Baili Qingyan, Ye Yuan��s head suddenly exploded.


    When he was comprehended Dao on the Heavenspan Mountain previously, Baili Qingyan seemed to have called out softly in the crowd.


    But at that time, all of his body and mind were immersed in comprehending the Chaos Heavenspan Canon and did not hear at all.


    But when Ye Yuan��s consciousness at that time fused into Heavenly Dao, he naturally saw everything around him clearly.


    Looking back now, wasn��t Baili Qingyan above ten thousand miles?


    She came to find him!


    Ye Yuan made his judgment straight away.


    If not for seeing Baili Qingyan here, Ye Yuan would have even forgotten this person.


    Regarding Baili Qingyan��s affection, Ye Yuan naturally knew about it.


    But his heart could not accommodate other women at all anymore.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that Baili Qingyan was actually so deeply in love, secretly running out of the Bamboo Groove Void Realm.


    Furthermore, looking at her appearance, Baili Qingyan should have run out very, very early on.


    Otherwise, with Baili Qingyan��s aptitude, it was absolutely impossible to cultivate to Empyrean Realm in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm.


    Only by coming to the Heavenspan World and having fortuitous encounters time and again could she cultivate to the Empyrean Realm within such a short time.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan thought of many things.


    When Baili Qingyan saw Ye Yuan, her face revealed a trace of a slight smile. Using all of her strength, she said, ��Being able to die in your arms, I �� I��m perfectly contented!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said, ��With me around, you won��t die!��


    The current Baili Qingyan, her life force was already severed, her life fading away rapidly.


    At this time, Heavenly Emperor Justbright already arrived too. Taking a look at the injuries on Baili Qingyan��s body, he shook his head and said, ��It��s useless, her life force has already been thoroughly cut off. Even if you��re the Second Sage, there��s no way to save at all! Unless �� the Medicine Ancestor comes in person!��


    Ye Yuan turned around and shot him a fierce glare, and said in a cold voice, ��Shut up for me! Come over, use your longevity to channel qi to her!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s expression changed and he said, ��Rubbish! This emperor��s blight tribulation is about to arrive soon, using longevity to channel qi to her, isn��t it courting death? Moreover, even if I channel qi to her, it��s also just delaying her death, it can��t save her at all! This kind of loss-making transaction, this emperor won��t do it!��


    Ye Yuan bellowed, ��Enough crap! Your loss in longevity, I��ll help you make up for it! In addition, not counting refining the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill this time, I��ll owe you a favor!��


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright heard this, his eyebrows shot up and he said, ��Is this for real?��


    ��If you keep on talking f*cking nonsense, do you believe that I won��t even help you to refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill anymore?�� Ye Yuan exploded with a rare swear word.


    Baili Qingyan��s life was rapidly dissipating, continuing to delay and it would really be hopeless.


    He was burning with anxiety and this guy was still rambling nonsense, how could he not be angry?


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Heavenly Emperor Justbright did not dare to talk rubbish and hurriedly came over to use his longevity to help Baili Qingyan extend her life.


    Ye Yuan let go of Baili Qingyan and immediately went to one side to meditate, his entire person entering a state of emptiness.


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright saw this scene, he could not help saying very curiously, ��What in this boy doing? Can meditating a bit save this girl? This kid wouldn��t be swindling me, right?��


    One breath!


    Ten breaths!


    100 breaths!


    A hundred breaths later, Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open both eyes, both hands pointing out in the void non-stop.


    An incomparably complex grand array quickly formed in the void.


    Seeing this scene, Heavenly Emperor Justbright was greatly astonished!


    Such a complicated and elaborate array formation was absolutely not what Eight-star Formation Gods could set up!


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright had never seen before the scene of Ye Yuan refining the Chaos Samsara Pill. If he had seen it before, he would know what Ye Yuan was doing.


    He was going to refine a Dao pill!

 Chapter 2284 - Things Still Remained the Same, but the People Were No Longer the Same

    Heavenly Emperor Justbright had broad and profound knowledge, and he had naturally heard of Dao pills before.


    Except, it was merely limited to hearsay only too.


    Dao pills were too rare!


    Forget about him, a Heavenly Emperor expert, even if it was a Deva Realm powerhouse, those who had actually seen before Dao pills could be counted on one hand too.


    And the value of a Dao pill was already impossible to measure using divine essence stones.


    The array formation that Ye Yuan set up became more and more complicated, Heavenly Emperor Justbright became more and more alarmed as he watched.


    Actually, prior to this, he more or less still had some doubts.


    That Heavenly Emperor Qing Shan��s words were indeed too fantastical.


    After all, Ye Yuan��s realm was too low.


    But witnessing Ye Yuan��s inconceivable means one after another, he finally believed it.


    Ye Yuan, this Second Sage title was well-deserved!


    And this also greatly increased his confidence towards Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, an aura of Great Dao source suddenly descended, making Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s pupils constrict.


    ��Formation rise, pill condense!��


    It was only to hear Ye Yuan give a cold cry. The grand array erupted with an extremely brilliant light.


    The aura of Great Dao source suddenly entered the grand array, fusing together with those spirit medicines.


    ��D-Dao pill! Absolutely won��t be wrong, this must be a Dao pill! It must be a Dao pill!��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s voice suddenly became agitated.


    He was an old monster who had lived for a trillion years, but Dao pill this sort of thing, it was still his first time seeing one!


    Dao pills were too rare!


    Suddenly, his expression changed and he said in shock, ��Could it be that what he said was true? Myriad Region Alchemy Conference is really only organizing the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time because he dreads him? This �� This is also too inconceivable! Talented people will be born to take over the previous generation, each leading a domain for a million years! Looks like the Medicine Ancestor really encountered his match this time!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan refine the Dao pill, Heavenly Emperor Justbright suddenly associated it with many things.


    Only at this time did he truly understand how serious a promise from Ye Yuan was!


    Helping him refine the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill, he really picked up a treasure.


    Some longevity in exchange for a favor from Ye Yuan, this deal was really a bargain.


    ��Freaking hell, this emperor is really too lucky to actually run into such a good thing!�� Heavenly Emperor Justbright could not resist swearing.


    Very soon, the light faded. A lustrous golden medicinal pill suspended in the air.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and seized it, bringing it over.


    Baili Qingyan had long already lost consciousness. Ye Yuan pried open her mouth and sent the medicinal pill in.


    ��Master Ye, what medicinal pill is this?�� Heavenly Emperor Justbright asked with a curious look.


    ��No name!�� Ye Yuan said without even looking at him.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright said in surprise, ��How can a medicinal pill not have a name?��


    ��Why must a medicinal pill have a name?��


    ��Ah! You were meditating just now, could it be in order to create a new pill formula?�� Heavenly Emperor Justbright suddenly exclaimed in surprise.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, declining to comment.


    But by the side, Heavenly Emperor Justbright was shocked speechless.


    Meditating for a hundred breaths and creating a Dao pill.


    Just how monstrous was this guy?


    ��Ugh ����


    Baili Qingyan let out a groan in her sleep, gradually waking up.


    ��I �� I��m not dead yet?�� She was a little surprised as she said.


    When she saw Ye Yuan walk into the realm fog, she knew that Ye Yuan would probably come out of Heavenly Fate Town.


    Hence, she decisively went down the mountain and killed all the way over from another town.


    But these people��s strengths were too strong, she used too many spells that stimulated her potential along the way.


    When she saw Ye Yuan, she was already severely wounded. Coupled with the sequela caused by stimulating her potential, she was already on the verge of death.


    But Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill forcefully dragged her back from the god of death.


    ��With me around, you can��t die,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Baili Qingyan forced a smile and said, ��Not seeing for close to 2000 years, you��ve already become so formidable!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You also became a lot stronger.��


    Baili Qingyan stared at Ye Yuan and said with a multitude of feelings, ��I thought that I would never see you again. Heaven took pity on me, I actually saw you when in a hopeless situation.��


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, ��Silly girl.��


    Baili Qingyan smiled and said, ��I know that I��m silly, I clearly knew that it wasn��t possible, but I still couldn��t control myself from wanting to see you. Therefore, you guys just left and I already followed you guys out. I thought that I could find you, but I didn��t expect that this parting was close to 2000 years!��


    Ye Yuan was slightly moved and said, ��What in the world did you experience these 2000 years? Who were the people hunting you down earlier?��


    Dao pills were Dao pills, when talking, Baili Qingyan��s complexion already improved a lot.


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright by the side saw this scene, his eyes went wide.


    This lass was clearly a person who was about to die just now. In a twinkle, she was alive and well?


    Was this the power of a Dao pill?


    Dao pills, he only heard before how magical it was.


    But it was still his first time truly witnessing its might.


    This kind of means simply transformed the rotten into something magical.


    With Ye Yuan around, it was really hard to die even if one wanted to!


    Baili Qingyan slowly sat up, an additional hint of determination in her expression.


    Previously when she saw him, her eyes were full of tenderness.


    But at this time, when her injuries got better, this hint of determination was revealed unnaturally.


    Ye Yuan discovered that Baili Qingyan was different from before.


    When in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, she was just a genius disciple. Although her talent was decent, she was like a flower in a greenhouse.


    But now, there was an additional strong murderous air in Baili Qingyan��s eyes.


    This showed that she had experienced no idea how many killings in these few years.


    Baili Qingyan was neither too fast nor too slow, slowly recounting her experiences over these few years.


    But Ye Yuan��s expression gradually became gloomy.


    The ordeals that Baili Qingyan experienced these few years were simply unimaginable.


    To a girl, for her to be able to pull through was simply a miracle.


    ��How many times, I wanted to die to end it. But, not seeing you, I��m still unwilling. It��s precisely this unwillingness that supported me to this day. Originally, seeing you, my wish was already fulfilled and I could die with my eyes closed. Didn��t expect that I was saved by you.


    Talking up to here, Baili Qingyan��s eyes turned dim.


    ��When in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, I couldn��t help falling in love and didn��t think that much at all. But after arriving at the Heavenspan World, experiencing life and death countless times, only then did I gradually understand that it��s simply impossible between us. However, I��ll still want to go and find you uncontrollably. It��s just that I was controlled by them and couldn��t escape at all.��


    ��Originally, dying was my best option. That way, at least I can occupy a place in your heart. Yet, you brought me back to life.��


    The present Baili Qingyan was no longer the Baili Qingyan back then long ago.


    However, her heart towards him had never changed before.


    Ye Yuan did not say anything, he had no way of promising Baili Qingyan.


    Just as Baili Qingyan said, his heart could not accommodate her!


    Except, everything that Baili Qingyan endured was all because of him.


    On this aspect, he could not sit by idly and remain indifferent.


    Ye Yuan slowly stood up and said, ��Senior Apprentice Sister Baili, lead the way.��


    Baili Qingyan was taken aback and asked, ��Where to?��


    ��To kill!�� Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent.

 Chapter 2285 - Killing People

    Middle Realm, Riversun Great Imperial Capital!


    In a certain underground palace, a man in white was currently playing with two concubines.


    A subordinate came in hastily and reported, ��Lord Branch Head, the few Empyreans who were pursuing Baili Qingyan that lass, their soul tablets have all shattered. They should already be all dead!��


    ��What? Five Ninth Firmament Empyreans hunting down an Eighth Firmament Empyrean actually died? When did that girl become so powerful?�� The man in white almost jumped up.


    The subordinate said with difficulty, ��About this �� Subordinate doesn��t know.��


    The man in white was silent and did not speak. Suddenly, he said, ��Go and get her soul tablet over! Looks like this emperor is going to take action myself. Jeje, this lass is really feisty, to rather die than submit to this emperor! This emperor wants to see where she can hide to?��


    Before long, the subordinate came over carrying Baili Qingyan��s soul tablet.


    The man in white took the soul tablet, a look of amusement on his face.


    His divine sense sunk into the soul tablet. Suddenly, his brows knitted tightly together.


    The man in white said with a strange look on his face, ��Hang on, why do I sense that she��s currently very near to me?��


    ��You didn��t sense wrongly. She��s indeed right here.��


    At this time, a calm and collected voice sounded out.


    Following that, three figures slowly walked out of the darkness.


    One of them was precisely Baili Qingyan.


    And among these three people, that old man gave him a feeling of extreme danger.


    What a powerful aura!


    Virtually without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly stomped his foot! The void trembled!


    His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and his aura also became illusory.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, ��Concealment arts! Not good, he��s going to run away!��


    ��Immobilize!��


    However, his voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan lightly spat a word out of his mouth.


    Everything suddenly paused!


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright looked at Ye Yuan dumbfoundedly and stammered, ��H-Heavenly Dao True Word! You �� Just how many trump cards do you have?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Don��t worry, you��ll see it little by little.��


    As he said, he slowly walked into the darkness and pointed. The man in white was like a deflated ball, his entire person becoming dispirited and inert.


    The man in white was merely a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor. To Ye Yuan, killing him did not need the slightest effort at all.


    Ye Yuan carried him and directly threw him in front of Baili Qingyan, and said coolly, ��You do it yourself.��


    Baili Qingyan looked at the powerful Heavenly Emperor, he could not even make a move in front of Ye Yuan, and she could not help feeling a burst of pride.


    The present Ye Yuan was really too strong!


    Baili Qingyan looked at the man in white and said with a cold smile, ��Rui Qin, you didn��t expect that you��d have today, right?��


    Rui Qin��s face changed, and he said, ��Baili Qingyan, don��t you forget, you still have the Deathsoul Curse that isn��t dispelled! If you dare betray the Deathsoul Gate, you��ll die without a burial ground!��


    Baili Qingyan said disdainfully, ��Very regretfully, my Deathsoul Curse has already been dispelled!��


    Rui Qin laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� the Deathsoul Curse that even Heavenly Emperors can��t undo, just the likes of you can undo it?��


    ��I naturally can��t dispel it, but he can!�� Baili Qingyan pointed at Ye Yuan and said.


    Rui Qin still did not believe and said with a sneer, ��The Deathsoul Curse is the Deathsoul Gate��s unique curse. Even Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors can��t undo it! Just the likes of him, a First Firmament Heavenly Emperor, also wants to dispel it? Baili Qingyan, could it be that you take this emperor to be a fool?��


    But Baili Qingyan said coolly, ��You should have heard of his name before, the Priest Temple��s Second Sage!��


    This time, Rui Qin��s expression finally changed.


    He turned his head to look at Ye Yuan, his gaze full of horror.


    ��You �� You��re Second Sage Ye Yuan! How can it be! How can it be! I �� I have no grudge nor enmity with you! Why are you ����


    Not so long ago, the higher ups just issued an order to let the Deathsoul Gate never provoke Ye Yuan.


    Who could have thought that he did not provoke Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan paid a visit himself instead?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Because she��s my friend! Your Deathsoul Gate��s people deserve to die!��


    Baili Qingyan��s experience during these 2000 years was precisely having fallen into the Deathsoul Gate!


    In the Deathsoul Gate, Baili Qingyan received the most brutal, killing training.


    She forcefully carved out a bloody path from among hundreds of thousands of Divine Lord Realms.


    Using other people��s blood to forge her present Empyrean Realm strength.


    For 2000 years, she wandered about the borders of life and death countless times.


    If not for this thought of seeing Ye Yuan supporting her, she would have long died.


    But it was also precisely because of this that the strikingly beautiful Baili Qingyan became a cold killer.


    Only in that moment when she saw Ye Yuan did her heart that she already sealed for a long time finally thaw.


    Baili Qingyan was assigned to the Riversun Branch and put under Rui Qin.


    But this guy actually coveted Baili Qingyan��s beauty.


    Rui Qin originally wanted to use force, but he did not know that Baili Qingyan had long made preparations for this day.


    She actually used a secret art and escaped this calamity!


    However, Baili Qingyan��s Deathsoul Curse was still grasped in Rui Qin��s hands.


    These few years, she had to suffer the torment of the Deathsoul Curse every day.


    But Rui Qin had coveted Baili Qingyan for a long time already and did not want to kill her. Instead, he sent subordinates to hunt down Baili Qingyan.


    Baili Qingyan was helpless and could only hide on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    At that place, those assassins did not dare to take action.


    But she never thought that she actually bumped into Ye Yuan there. It was also considered meeting with life in a desperate situation.


    However, it was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan thoroughly rampaged against the Deathsoul Gate.


    ��How did this happen? How can this be! You �� You guys can��t kill me! If you kill me, the Deathsoul Gate won��t let you all off!�� Rui Qin roared.


    Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look, ��You all are merely the divine race��s lackeys, yet, you still don��t know it, truly lamentable! Rest assured, the Deathsoul Gate can��t jump around for more than a few days anymore.��


    Whoosh!


    A cold light flashed, Baili Qingyan already attacked with her sword.


    Rui Qin��s divine sea was thoroughly sealed by Ye Yuan and he was completely unable to make use of world power to protect his body.


    This sword was neat and tidy.


    But right at this moment, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed forward, grabbing Rui Qin��s divine soul in his hand.


    An overbearing divine sense suddenly crushed over.


    He wanted to soul-search


    As a Heavenly Emperor, Rui Qin definitely knew quite a bit about the Deathsoul Gate��s secrets.


    However, a cloud of black energy suddenly erupted, attempting to extinguish Rui Qin��s divine soul.


    This was the seal added in Rui Qin��s divine soul, once someone searched the soul, he would be directly annihilated, and cause a fatal blow to the soul-searcher.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Playing this in front of me, you��re just showing off in the presence of an expert!��


    His divine soul suddenly turned into a large hand and directly grabbed at that seal.


    Then, under this large hand, that seal was actually forcefully pressed back down!


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright stared dumbfoundedly with slack jaws. This kind of divine soul fight was the most dangerous.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was even more tyrannical than his divine essence. It was completely unreasonable, directly pressing the seal back and forcefully searching the soul.


    What this kind of exchange competed in was not just soul force. There was also comprehension toward the divine soul.


    Ye Yuan had clearly already reached the acme of perfection in the path of divine soul!

 Chapter 2286 - Pulling up by the Roots

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Have you guys heard? In a short few months�� time, the Deathsoul Gate��s major and minor branches already have several dozen of them destroyed!��


    ��The Deathsoul Gate has committed all sorts of evil and finally brought retribution upon themselves! How gratifying!��


    ��I really didn��t expect that even Cloudlink Mountain Range is actually the Deathsoul Gate��s assassin base! I heard that there were three powerhouses who went over and directly wiped them out all at once, rescuing hundreds of thousands of martial artists.��


    ��No idea who did this either, but it��s truly the greatest good!��


    ��Those martial artists who escaped said that the leader was a youth in white. When he charged into Cloudlink Mountain Range, he used Heavenly Dao True Word and froze space-time! Being able to use this move, it should be Second Sage Ye Yuan, right?��


    ��It��s actually him! Second Sage really did a great thing!��


    �� ��


    A short few month��s time, Ye Yuan destroyed a large number of major and minor Deathsoul Gate branches.


    This organization��s structure was extremely secretive. If not for Ye Yuan opening up a gap from Rui Qin, he could not find the way at all.


    However, once this gap was opened up, it was like a breached bank.


    Ye Yuan killed all the way over, and searched souls all the way, and grasped more and more secrets.


    In the end, he finally touched the killer base of the Deathsoul Gate, and then he brought Heavenly Emperor Justbright and pushed over.


    Cloudlink Mountain Range��s killer base was precisely the place where Baili Qingyan was trained.


    Except, each time Baili Qingyan went in and out, she could not figure out the direction at all.


    Hence, there were countless killers who walked out of here, but no one knew that this place was the Deathsoul Gate��s training base.


    And this place also had white bones buried in the hundreds of millions.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan tracked down by following the clues and finally found this place from a Deathsoul Gate upper echelon��s body.


    This time, Ye Yuan virtually pulled the Deathsoul Gate up by the roots.


    As the divine race��s lackey, the Deathsoul Gate��s master was also merely Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperor cultivation.


    After all, the divine race was also unable to control Heavenly Emperors that were too powerful.


    Under Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s formidable strength, they could not stand up to a single blow at all.


    The reason why the Deathsoul Gate was powerful was precisely because of its mysteriousness and unknown.


    And once this secret was revealed, the Deathsoul Gate would also become fish on the chopping board, being placed at the mercy of others.


    Inside the Hidden Lineage��s small world, Third Elder Ru Feng was angered until he stomped his feet in anger.


    ��It��s this brat again! It��s this brat again! This time, I must tear his corpse into countless pieces!�� Ru Feng said in a thunderous rage.


    By the side, Divine Daughter Rong Xiyue also had a solemn look as she said, ��The Deathsoul Gate being uprooted, it��s equivalent to our Hidden Lineage losing its eyes to monitor the Heavenspan World! This is very bad news to us.��


    Head Elder Ji Ling sighed and said, ��In order to establish the Deathsoul Gate, this old man expended a lot of effort back then, using means to deceive everybody, establishing it under the eyelids of the human race��s major powers. In order to prevent news from being leaked, I even specially added a divine soul seal to each Heavenly Emperor. I didn��t expect that that kid can actually crack the divine soul seal, and track down by following the clues! Sigh! Really underestimated him!��


    The human race had quite a number of major powers that came from the previous era, these people were extremely guarded against the divine race.


    Even Ji Ling this level of powerhouse did not dare show his face easily too.


    Otherwise, what awaited them would be a catastrophe.


    Deathsoul Gate could be said to be Ji Ling��s painstaking effort.


    He did not expect that it was actually wiped out in one fell swoop by Ye Yuan.


    Ru Feng said fiercely, ��Head Elder, I��ll go and kill this punk! Not killing him, it��s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!��


    Ji Ling shook his head and said, ��At this time, we can��t stir up unnecessary incidents! The Divine Martial Hall��s lords will be coming out of seclusion very soon, and the two world��s seal has already loosened too. The opportunity for our Divine race to rise up again is already ripe. This time, with our high-level combat power, coupled with the help of the abyss devil race, we��ll surely be able to completely defeat the human race. If something goes wrong at this time, then all previous efforts will be wasted, better to bear with it.��


    Ru Feng gnashed his teeth in hatred and said in a cold voice, ��Humph! That punk got off lucky! After our divine race returns anew, the first one that this elder is going to kill will be this punk!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan again, Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu felt jitters.


    This person was very dangerous!


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu was greatly shocked in his heart. When Ye Yuan went on a trip up the Heavenspan Mountain, his strength was actually already so terrifying?


    ��Hahaha �� Younger Brother Ye truly brings great joy to the masses! This Deathsoul Gate is like a fly, plaguing the Heavenspan World for no idea how many years already. Many people wanted to get rid of them. But these guys were too mysterious. People couldn��t find their lair at all. It��s still Younger Brother Ye who��s impressive, pulling them up by the roots the moment you make your move!�� Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu sighed with admiration as he said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��The Deathsoul Gate is nothing to be scared of. The divine race behind them is the most terrifying! In an epoch��s time, the divine race has accumulated god knows how formidable a strength. Once it erupts, the Heavenspan World will probably be plunged into an abyss of suffering.��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu said in puzzlement, ��The divine race?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The Heavenspan World��s former ruler! In the last epoch, the divine race was defeated by the human, demon, and fiend races teaming up. The divine race then retreated to the Abyss World. Before long, they will stage a comeback!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu sucked in a cold breath, this kind of secret, it was still his first time hearing.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��These few days, many thanks to Brother Xin Yu for taking care of Senior Drunkard. In order to express thanks, this Ye will refine a medicinal pill for Brother Xin Yu.��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s entire body trembled, and he immediately burst into ecstasy.


    Only when Old Drunkard saw Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s reaction did he know how high Ye Yuan��s current status was.


    He also finally understood what Xin Yu said to him meant.


    ��In that case, I really have to thank Younger Brother Ye very much!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In the era of great struggle, an additional portion of strength is an additional portion of protection. Brother Xin Yu, treasure it.��


    Ye Yuan helped Xin Yu finish refining the medicinal pill, then took his leave.


    After Ye Yuan left, a figure slowly appeared beside Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu.


    Xin Yu bowed in salute and said, ��Lord Swordtime, how is this boy?��


    This man was precisely the Deva Fourth Blight supreme powerhouse, Heavenly Emperor Swordtime!


    Heavenly Emperor Swordtime slowly opened his mouth and said, ��He discovered me!��


    Xin Yu was startled and said, ��How is this possible?��


    If a Deva Fourth Blight sovereign had the intention to hide, even Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors had no way of discovering too.


    Ye Yuan just broke through to Heavenly Emperor and he could already discover Heavenly Emperor Swordtime��s spying?


    ��His understanding of Heavenly Dao already exceeded your imagination! This boy will surely achieve great things in the future! It��s just that I don��t know if there��s time for him to grow or not!�� Swordtime said, deep in thought.


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s face changed and he said, ��Your Excellency, why are you also �� Could it be that this divine race is really so terrifying?��


    Swordtime��s expression was solemn as he said, ��More terrifying than you think! Doomsday Battle isn��t just casual talk! Once the war starts, it will obliterate the heavens and decimate the earth. Even a Dao Ancestor, that level of a powerhouse, will find it hard to not get involved too! Because the divine race has existences rivaling Dao Ancestors too!��


    Heavenly Emperor Xin Yu��s mind shook wildly, his gaze being full of astonishment.

 Chapter 2287 - Afraid That You Can’t Clean up the Mess

    The clouds and fog were so heavy that one only knew that they were in the mountains.


    What it was referring to was the Cloudheart Mountain Range.


    Cloudheart Mountain Range was an extremely huge mountain range around the Heavenspan Mountain, heaven and earth spiritual energy extremely abundant.


    The entrance of the Cloudheart Realm was in the area where Cloudheart Mountain Range��s spiritual energy was the thickest.


    Normally, no one would come here.


    This place was the Medicine Ancestor��s Bodhidharma, no one dared to profane the Medicine Ancestor��s invincible might.


    But now, Cloudheart Mountain Range was crowded with people. Many powerhouses were flying towards the depths of the mountain one after another.


    ��Tsk tsk, the Medicine Ancestor occupies this level of spirit mountain and great river, truly remarkable! If not for following you, this emperor wouldn��t dare approach this place too!�� Heavenly Emperor Justbright said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Thinking of how he was Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, he was also an apex existence in the Heavenspan World.


    But Cloudheart Mountain this sort of place, he would never have dared to come.


    Cloudheart Realm��s background was far deeper than the Priest Temple.


    This place had powerhouses as plentiful as clouds. Even Deva Realm super powerhouses also did not dare to act wildly here, let alone Heavenly Emperor Justbright, an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Sensing the oppressive spiritual energy, Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This place is close to the Heavenspan Mountain, it��s likely one of the Bodhidharmas with the richest spiritual energy. With the Medicine Ancestor��s ability, he can live up to this place.��


    Although very disdainful toward the Medicine Ancestor��s character, Ye Yuan did not have any doubts about his strength at all.


    ��Eh, what a pretty beauty!��


    A young man next to him suddenly stopped, eyes staring right at Baili Qingyan, with a lecherous look.


    Behind the youth, an old man with a white beard and hair followed.


    The old man��s body emitted powerful undulations. He was clearly not mediocre.


    Baili Qingyan��s brows furrowed slightly but did not pay attention to that young man.


    ��Ye Yuan, let��s go,�� Baili Qingyan said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and was just about to continue ahead, but that youth��s figure moved, blocking the few people��s path.


    ��Huhu, what a feisty beauty. This young master, I, like it! Beautiful lady, I am the most outstanding Seven-star Alchemy God of the Purple Azure Realm��s Leng Family, Leng Tianhao. In the future, I��ll be entering the Medicine Ancestor��s tutelage. If you follow me, you��ll have endless glory and wealth.��


    Leng Tianhao said these words very confidently. He felt that as long as he brought out the Leng Family��s name, Baili Qingyan would definitely be moved.


    ��Purple Azure Realm��s Leng Family!��


    Ye Yuan and Baili Qingyan did not have much reaction, but Heavenly Emperor Justbright got a shock, a look of dread on his face.


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s reaction, Leng Tianhao��s face was even more proud of himself.


    ��Why? is the Purple Azure Realm��s Leng Family very famous?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright nodded slightly and said, ��The Purple Azure Realm is an alchemy ancient family with an extremely distant legacy, its background extremely deep! The Leng Family��s ancestor himself is a peak Ancestor Realm alchemy master. The Leng Family��s Leng Tianqi even went under the Medicine Ancestor��s eldest disciple��s tutelage, and is the Medicine Ancestor��s grandpupil.��


    Heavenly Emperor Justbright had lived for a long time and knew about these reclusive families of the Heavenspan World like the back of his hand.


    Moreover, this Leng Family was an extremely formidable alchemy ancient family in the first place.


    Hearing Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s words, Leng Tianhao said smugly, ��Heh, Leng Tianqi is precisely my elder brother!��


    Ye Yuan gave an ��oh�� and did not express much.


    ��Little Beauty, there��s no future following this kind of poor and pedantic boy. Following me, not only can you enjoy wealth and glory, reaching peak Heavenly Emperor in the future is nothing difficult too! How about it, consider it?��


    As Leng Tianhao said, he actually reached his hand out to grab at Baili Qingyan in front of Ye Yuan and Heavenly Emperor Justbright��s faces.


    Baili Qingyan��s gaze turned cold, figure flashing, avoiding this touch.


    Leng Tianhao did not care in the slightest and said smilingly, ��Little Beauty is shy! Relax, Big Brother will dote on you well in the future.��


    A surge of killing intent welled up from Baili Qingyan��s body and she said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, I want to kill people!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Kill for what? A guy whose head is swimming with sperm, castrate him.��


    Baili Qingyan smiled sweetly and said, ��Good idea!��


    These two people chatted as if there was no one else around, but the old man opposite became alert.


    A powerful and unmatched aura suddenly released, enveloping the three people.


    A cold light flashed, Baili Qingyan��s sword was inconceivably fast.


    However, the old man opposite was an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor supreme powerhouse. How could he give Baili Qingyan the chance to draw her sword?


    ��Immobilize!��


    However, before he even made a move, Ye Yuan opened his mouth calmly.


    A terrifying wave of Heavenly Dao law suddenly descended, restraining the old man.


    An Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Ye Yuan was unable to restrain him for too long. It was just for a moment in time.


    But just this moment was sufficient.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    An astonishing cry reverberated throughout the clouds, Leng Tianhao clutched his lower body in pain.


    The old man��s expression changed drastically, and he said with a furious roar, ��You guys dare to cripple Young Master?! This emperor will make you pay with your lives!��


    Done talking, a terrifying aura erupted once more. The old man rushed toward Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a figure interjected in the middle of both parties, blocking the old man��s path.


    The arrival was a middle-aged in azure robes, his aura extremely strong, even above the old man.


    He looked at the old man and said in a cold voice, ��Those who attack within the Cloudheart Mountain Range, kill without mercy!��


    Before the old man spoke yet, they heard Leng Tianhao��s pig-slaughter-like voice sound out. He said, ��It was them who made a move first! Daoist Brother Azurefeather, I��m Leng Tianqi��s younger brother. You �� You have to uphold justice for me!��


    When he was talking, cold sweat poured profusely. Clearly, he was in immense pain.


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather turned to look at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��It��s forbidden to take action on Cloudheart Mountain Range, didn��t your family��s grown-ups teach you before coming?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a faint smile, ��With your shrewdness, can��t you tell what��s going on? Questioning me like this, is it that you think I��m easy to bully?��


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather was sent to patrol the mountains. He was naturally a character adept at dealing with people.


    He came over and took a look, and he immediately understood what was going on.


    It was just that Leng Tianhao mentioned his family, and that was his own people. He naturally had to side with Leng Tianhao.


    But he never thought that Ye Yuan actually laid bare the truth with a single comment.


    This boy was clearly very young. Why would he have such meticulous thoughts?


    ��Humph! No matter how glib your tongue is, you attacking is real! Could it be that this emperor can��t deal with you? This emperor gives you a chance! Cripple your own divine sea, and I can spare you from death!��


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather stood with his hands behind his back as he said coolly.


    He knew most of the Heavenspan World��s various major families�� alchemy experts.


    But regardless of whether it was Ye Yuan or Heavenly Emperor Justbright, both looked very unfamiliar to him.


    So he determined that Ye Yuan was merely a small faction��s genius, that was all.


    His Cloudheart Realm could afford to offend.


    ��Ha! Cloudheart Realm��s people are truly awe-inspiring! It��s just that if you flaunt your power in front of me, I��m afraid that you can��t clean up the mess in a while! In a while, you��ll probably be kneeling in front of me and apologizing,�� Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather was tickled the moment he heard and laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Snotty brat, probably never seen the world before, right? There have only ever been others apologizing to Cloudheart Realm��s people, Cloudheart Realm��s people will never apologize to outsiders! Just the likes of you also want to make this emperor apologize? Now, this emperor gives you three breaths of time, if you don��t take action, this emperor will do it!��


    ��Three!��


    ��Two!��


    ��One!��

 Chapter 2288 - Kneel and Apologize

    ��Looks like this emperor still has to do it!��


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not take any action, Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather calmly pointed a finger out and was about to eradicate Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, a figure suddenly blocked in front of Ye Yuan and casually waved his hand, extinguishing this attack.


    Seeing the arrival, Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather��s pupils constricted, and he said with a bow, ��Lord Zi Jin!��


    Zi Jin ignored him. He turned around and gave a bow toward Ye Yuan, saying, ��Medicine Ancestor��s disciple, Zi Jin, offers greetings to Second Sage.��


    Hearing the name Second Sage, Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather��s expression changed wildly.


    Who in the world did not know him!


    This alchemy world��s upstart, Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather had long heard of his name like a thunderclap piercing the ear.


    But he had not seen Ye Yuan before!


    A chill ran down Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather��s back. Only then did he know that he caused huge trouble.


    The commotion at this side was blown up very big and already attracted quite a number of powerhouses to stop and watch.


    Hearing Zi Jin��s words, everyone looked toward Ye Yuan, extremely surprised.


    ��He��s the legendary Second Sage? I really couldn��t tell! So young and he��s actually already so impressive!��


    ��I heard that Second Sage��s alchemy strength can already rival peak Eight-star Alchemy Gods, wonder if it��s true or fake.��


    ��Tsk tsk, Lord Azurefeather was too much just now. This matter probably can��t be settled.��


    �� ��


    The name of Second Sage had long already been resounding like the roar of thunder in the alchemy world.


    It was just that the people who had seen Ye Yuan before could be counted with one��s fingers.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Huhu, your Cloudheart Realm��s way of hospitality, this Ye is considered to have experienced it.��


    Zi Jin��s gaze flickered slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Azurefeather, why haven��t you come over and apologize to Lord Second Sage!��


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather could only toughen his scalp and come over. Giving a bow toward Ye Yuan, he said, ��Azurefeather didn��t know that Second Sage has arrived, resulting in offending Second Sage. Please pardon my offense!��


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, ��Brother Azurefeather, what did you say just now? This Ye didn��t hear clearly. Can you repeat it again?��


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather��s expression was extremely ugly, Ye Yuan��s warning was still ringing in his ears.


    Just now, he still did not feel anything. But currently, his face felt burning hot, like he had been slapped twice.


    Of course, these two slaps were dealt by himself.


    He postured too much earlier.


    Just finished saying that Cloudheart Realm��s people would never apologize to outsiders, in a blink, he slapped his own face.


    ��Azurefeather had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I hope that Second Sage can calm your anger.�� Azurefeather was helpless and could only apologize once again.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you don��t deal with affairs fairly and show off your power, forget it. But just now, you had killing intent toward this Ye! You wouldn��t think that this will slide with such a light and floaty sentence, right?��


    Azurefeather��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Second Sage, this emperor is at any rate Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor too. You don��t need to be so persistent, right? Don��t be too ruthless, so that we can meet on good terms in the future!��


    A Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor naturally had the pride of a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    This level of a powerhouse was already standing at the summit of the Heavenspan World.


    Deva Realm powerhouses mostly remained reclusive, very rarely did anyone show their face.


    And Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors could be said to be existences that rule a region of the world.


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather knew that Ye Yuan��s status was extraordinary, but he was only a little guy who just entered Heavenly Emperor after all.


    Him apologizing to Ye Yuan was already giving adequate face, he was actually still not satisfied!


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but looked at Zi Jin and said with a smile, ��Brother Zi Jin, what do you say?��


    Zi Jin��s expression was also ugly. He did not expect that Ye Yuan had not entered Cloudheart Realm yet and both sides already fell out so badly.


    To be honest, he also did not know why Master regarded Ye Yuan so highly.


    But Master gave the instructions, to have him make sure to settle Ye Yuan down well.


    In contrast, Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather��s face was nothing.


    ��Azurefeather, kneel down!�� Zi Jin suddenly said in a solemn voice.


    Azurefeather��s expression changed drastically and he said, ��Lord Zi Jin!��


    ��Kneel! Apologize!�� Zi Jin��s tone became unprecedentedly harsh.


    Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather had a look of unwillingness on his face. Looking at Ye Yuan fiercely, he wished to kill him.


    But, under Zi Jin��s powerful pressure, he could only grit his teeth and kneel.


    Following Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather kneeling down in the air, a series of exclamations came from the sides.


    A Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor actually knelt down toward someone!


    This level of existence had always been high and mighty in their eyes, akin to gods.


    But now, a god-like existence in their eyes actually knelt down!


    If Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather knelt to a Deva Realm, they would not be so surprised too.


    But, the target of his kneeling was merely a little guy who had just entered Heavenly Emperor!


    No matter if Ye Yuan was the Second Sage; he was too young after all.


    Not everyone had the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s level of judgment, being able to discern Ye Yuan��s extraordinariness.


    In the hearts of the vast majority of the people, Ye Yuan was merely just a genius. That was all.


    A genius and a powerhouse were two totally different concepts.


    A powerhouse, that was a leviathan who truly commanded a region; his every movement and action could affect the direction of the Heavenspan World.


    While a genius only had the potential of becoming a powerhouse.


    Before growing up, geniuses were merely just geniuses too.


    But such a person actually pressured a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor into kneeling and apologizing!


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather and said coolly, ��Looks like Brother Azurefeather is very unconvinced.��


    Azurefeather glared at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Today��s matter, Azurefeather has noted it down!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Are you very confused? Doesn��t matter, you��ll understand very soon.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned to Zi Jin and said, ��Brother Zi jin, how to deal with those two?��


    Over there, Leng Tianhao was long already frightened silly, even forgetting his pain.


    Who was he posturing in front of just now?


    Second Sage!


    His big brother, Leng Tianqi was indeed formidable, but he was also merely the Medicine Ancestor��s grand-pupil.


    While Second Sage was an existence on equal footing as the Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    Even his big brother��s master was a junior in front of Ye Yuan too!


    He actually said to Baili Qingyan just now that there was no future in following this boy?


    Zi Jin gave Leng Tianhao a glance and said coolly, ��Cut off both hands and punish him by confining him back in the clan for 5000 years! Wonder if Second Sage is still satisfied with this punishment?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Can!��


    Whoosh!


    A cold light flashed, Leng Tianhao��s two hands were severed at the wrist.


    ��Ahh! My �� My hands!�� Leng Tianhao screamed miserably.


    With Zi Jin taking action, the wounds carried the power of source.


    Wanting to regrow a pair of hands was probably not so easy.


    An alchemist losing both hands was tantamount to cutting off all of his future.


    This punishment could not be said to not be heavy.


    ��Bring him back and confine for 5000 years! If anyone in the Leng Family is unconvinced, say that this is my verdict!�� Zi Jin looked at the old man and said coolly.


    His level of status and strength, a single word was worth a thousand pieces of gold.


    He said to confine for 5000 years, the Leng Family absolutely would not dare to let him out at 4999 years.


    The Leng Family��s ancestor��s strength was strong, but in front of the Medicine Ancestor, he was nothing.


    Furthermore, legends had it that the Leng Family��s ancestor was originally a nominal disciple of the Medicine Ancestor.


    Regarding Zi Jin��s words, the Leng Family absolutely would not dare to defy.


    Everyone was extremely puzzled when they saw this scene.


    They did not understand why Lord Zi Jin would be so respectful toward Second Sage.


    The old man��s expression changed several times. But in the end, he still brought away Leng Tianhao who was wailing in pain and left.

 Chapter 2289 - Boiling Water, Brewing Tea!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Lord Zi Jin, I��m unconvinced! An exalted Ninth Firmament Heavenspan World actually knelt down and apologize to a brat who��s still wet behind his ears! After today, I, Heavenspan World Azurefeather, will probably become the laughingstock of the entire Heavenspan World!��


    Settling Ye Yuan down well, Azurefeather went to find Zi Jin and strongly expressed his indignation.


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this kind of grand occasion, it was hard to come by once in a million years too.


    The various regions�� powerhouses present at that time were not in the minority. This matter could not be hidden at all.


    The moment Azurefeather dropped to his knees, what dropped was his dignity as a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor. How could he endure it?


    Zi Jin gave him a glance and said with a sigh, ��I��m sorry. Actually, I really don��t understand it either. But this was instructed by Master. I had no choice but to do it like this!��


    Azurefeather��s face changed, and he said in confusion, ��The Priest Temple might be sitting high up in a leading position in the eyes of others. But in the eyes of our Cloudheart Realm, what do they count for? I don��t understand. I really don��t understand!��


    Zi Jin said, ��Master naturally has his own reasons for doing things. So it��s not up to us to question it. If you want to blame, blame that you shouldn��t have offended him. No matter what, for him to be able to be valued highly by Sacred Ancestor High Priest, he naturally has his saving graces!��


    Azurefeather��s expression flickered incessantly and he gritted his teeth and said, ��I can��t swallow this grievance! If I get the chance, I definitely won��t let him off!��


    Zi Jin said coolly, ��You don��t have to worry about this. The alchemy geniuses that came to Cloudheart Realm this time are plentiful like oxen hair. Among them, there is no shortage of existences whose talent won��t lose to him. He��s occupying a high position. So he��ll naturally become the common target for public scorn, you just have to wait and watch a good show.��


    Azurefeather��s eyes lit up. His mood immediately improved by a lot.


    Yeah, so what if Second Sage?


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time gathered the top-notch alchemy geniuses of the Heavenspan World.


    Some of their backgrounds were not even worse than Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s!


    How could their disciples be amateurs?


    If Ye Yuan was Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s disciple, then forget it. But he was Second Sage!


    Those geniuses were a generation lower than Ye Yuan for no reason. How could they endure this kind of insult?


    Zi Jin gave him a glance and said, ��Didn��t Ye Yuan cripple Leng Tianqi��s younger brother? He should currently be simmering with rage. You go and find him. Have him incite some genius disciples. There will naturally be someone who goes and find trouble with Ye Yuan. As long as our people don��t provoke him, I believe that Master shouldn��t say anything.��


    The moment Azurefeather heard, he was overjoyed and said, ��Why didn��t I think of that! It��s still Lord Zi Jin who��s impressive, rousing the dreamer from his sleep with one word! Whatever dog fart second sage, I��ll definitely make him reveal his true colors!��


    �� ��


    At this time, Ye Yuan arrived at Cloudheart Realm��s Feather Mountain. This place was the place where Sacred Ancestor High Priest was staying.


    ��Second Sage!�� Ji Mo said with a respectful bow.


    Now, Ji Mo already treated Ye Yuan as his teacher.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Lead the way then.��


    ��Please!��


    Ji Mo turned around and led the way, entering a large hall.


    The hall was very empty, without even a guard.


    A middle-aged man in plain clothing, his face firm and determined, was seated in the middle of the hall. In front of him was a tea table.


    Not far from the middle-aged man, ten unfathomable powerhouses were standing around respectfully, their attitudes very respectful.


    At the first sight of this middle-aged man, Ye Yuan felt that he was unfathomable!


    That sort of feeling was even more stately than those god statues he saw in the divine race.


    The middle-aged man did not speak, he was very busy.


    A ball of water was currently flowing in pace with his two hands. Inside the water ball, green leaves appeared indistinctly.


    The movements of the middle-aged man carried the thick lingering charm of Great Dao.


    That ball of water in his hands gradually evolved to become a world.


    Using the method of Great Dao pill refinement to boil water and brew tea, Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s means were truly inconceivable.


    Suddenly, the middle-aged man��s palm shook. That ball of water traversed through the void and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback at first, but he immediately reacted and reached his hand out to beckon, catching all of the water droplets without leaking the slightest hint.


    This was a medicinal pill that had yet to be perfected, it could collapse at any time.


    But the function of this medicinal pill was to bring out all of the medicinal effects inside the spiritual tea.


    Said that it was brewing tea, but in reality, it was refining a pill.


    It was just that those able to brew tea with the method of alchemy, one probably could not find more than a few in this world.


    Ye Yuan understood that Sacred Ancestor High Priest was testing him!


    It was not easy to be the Second Sage!


    Whether or not he had the qualifications to walk into this hall and sit opposite of Sacred Ancestor High Priest, it would have to be put off until after passing this test.


    If he did not pass this test, Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not mind chasing him out.


    A lingering charm of Great Dao similarly erupted on Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan held the ball with both hands, a Tai Chi diagram emerged behind Ye Yuan.


    When Wing saw this scene, his eyes glimmered slightly, the corners of his mouth revealing a hint of a smile.


    At the same time, his disciples became unsettled.


    Although Ye Yuan this name had sounded out in their ears no idea how many times before, it was still their first time truly meeting Ye Yuan.


    In their hearts, they were naturally somewhat disapproving of Ye Yuan, this rising star.


    Even if they knew that Ye Yuan was not an ordinary person.


    This was human nature. Before seeing it with your own eyes, no matter how exaggerated the tale, there would always be that trace of doubt in the heart.


    But now, they finally understood why their master would choose Ye Yuan.


    Looking at the Great Dao power contained in this Tai Chi diagram, they were actually unable to see through completely with their realm.


    The current Ye Yuan actually gave them a feeling of profoundness and mystery!


    That sort of feeling was like facing their own master, even though Ye Yuan��s Great Dao still appeared somewhat immature, being far from as vigorous and solid as their master��s.


    But Ye Yuan had indeed already walked onto the same Great Dao!


    Concerning this point, they were well aware in their hearts!


    Ye Yuan��s actions possessed natural grace, akin to floating clouds and flowing water. It was natural and smooth, giving people a feeling of gladdening the mind and refreshing the spirit.


    Suddenly, his fingertips guided, the spiritual tea flew back with a whoosh.


    Wing smiled slightly and reached his hand out to catch it effortlessly. He continued refining.


    His refinement was steady and composed as if the Heavenspan Mountain was suppressing in front, being vastly different from Ye Yuan��s style.


    Suddenly, he shook again. The spiritual tea flew over once more.


    Ye Yuan caught it, refined it again, and returned it again!


    These two people, going back and forth, fought with great pleasure.


    By the side, the group of disciples was long already stunned from watching.


    This guy could actually catch the Tea Dao world that Master refined!


    Too terrifying!


    Normally, Wing would also occasionally play this game with them.


    As disciples, they had followed Wing for tens of millions of years. But it was impossible to keep going.


    This refinement seemed simple, but actually, the more toward the back, the more complicated.


    Often, when they caught it at the back, it would make the entire world collapse, making the tea water all spill out.


    But Ye Yuan fought with Sacred Ancestor High Priest for dozens of rounds and actually did not fall into a disadvantageous situation in the slightest!


    No matter how Sacred Ancestor High Priest refined it, Ye Yuan could catch it, and continue refining, then throw it back.


    Ignoring other things, just this action already surpassed all of them!


    Suddenly, with Wing��s fingertips guiding, the spiritual tea entered the teapot without spilling the slightest bit.


    Immediately, fragrance greeted the nose, suffusing the entire hall.


    Then, it was the entire Feather Mountain!


    At this time, no matter which corner of Feather Mountain, this thick tea fragrance could be smelled!

 Chapter 2290 - First Lesson

    ��Hahaha! Splendid!�� Wing clapped his hands and laughed loudly, seemingly very delighted.


    Clearly, he was satisfied to the extreme with Ye Yuan��s performance.


    Wing made an inviting gesture, indicating for Ye Yuan to take a seat.


    This meant that Ye Yuan had the qualifications to sit and debate on Dao with him.


    The title of Second Sage also became in reality as well as in name.


    ��Senior Sacred Ancestor��s strength is what broadened junior��s horizons,�� Ye Yuan sat down opposite Wing and said with a smile.


    Ever since entering the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan was virtually ever-triumphant in alchemy. He had never encountered a match before.


    But this time, Ye Yuan knew that he really met his opponent!


    The Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest were the two great peaks of Alchemy Dao, the apex of the world.


    Wanting to surpass them was immensely difficult!


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended the source of Great Dao, and touched the level of Dao pill, there was still a considerable gap compared to them.


    Those few moves earlier and Ye Yuan already deeply felt that might of Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    It was as if what was in front of him was an insurmountable mountain.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was too young.


    Regardless of whether it was the Medicine Ancestor or Sacred Ancestor High Priest, the time that they researched on alchemy had already been too long.


    Wing filled Ye Yuan��s cup with tea and said smilingly, ��I indeed didn��t misjudge. You didn��t let me down! It has only been a short 2000 years and your alchemy strength is already so terrifying, far exceeding my imagination.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Actually, from the first time I cracked Ask Not, you knew that there would be this day, no? In alchemy, this junior is confident that I��m not inferior to anyone, even if it��s you or the Medicine Ancestor!��


    Ye Yuan had extremely strong confidence in alchemy path.


    This was exchanged from his trillions of tempering and tens of millions of victory.


    This kind of confidence was already deeply engraved in his bones, nobody could shake it.


    But the moment these words came out, the faces of all the disciples changed.


    The third person among the 11 disciples said in a solemn voice, ��Impudent! Even if Master conferred you the title Second Sage, before you reach Deva Realm, you don��t have the qualifications to be so unbridled in front of Master too!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��This isn��t insolence, it��s a hero valuing a hero! This Ye respects Senior Sacred Ancestor��s breadth of spirit. So beating him is the greatest respect towards him! What he needs is not yes-men, but a powerful opponent! How can someone who behaves respectfully and is a yes-man be fit to be his opponent?��


    The third disciple smiled coldly and said, ��Preposterous! For you to have today��s accomplishments, isn��t it still because Master deliberately nurturing you? But when you come before Master, you don��t have the slightest gratitude, simply showing ingratitude for kindness!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You guys seem to have some sort of misinterpretation of the meaning of nurturing. That��s right, I��d indeed borrowed Senior Sacred Ancestor��s power these few years. But in terms of nurturing, I��m afraid that this Ye can��t compare to one-ten-thousandth of you all, right?��


    When the disciples heard that, each and every one of their faces became extremely ugly.


    The implied meaning of these words was that you guys were too weak!


    You all, these disciples, which one wasn��t personally groomed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest?


    They enjoyed the Priest Temple��s resources, consuming countless of them.


    But up until today, they did not have the qualifications to sit opposite their master too.


    This was the disparity between them!


    ��This Ye have today��s accomplishments. It wasn��t by relying on anyone��s nurturing, but it was exchanged for by relying on my own efforts! Relying on other people��s grooming, one will never become a true powerhouse! You guys are like this, and the Medicine Ancestor��s those disciples are similarly like so! No doubt that walking other people��s paths are shortcuts, but not being able to walk your own path, you guys can forever only stand there. But I can sit here!��


    Apart from Ji Mo, the other disciples�� expressions changed drastically one after another.


    Wildly arrogant!


    Too wildly arrogant!


    This guy actually still dared to be so rampant in front of their master!


    Second Disciple said in a solemn voice, ��Master, this boy is too condescending! He doesn��t show any respect for you at all! In the future, when he achieves supremacy, he��ll surely be our Priest Temple��s mortal calamity!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not speak all along. He just drank tea quietly, allowing Ye Yuan and his disciples to cross swords with words.


    He put down the cup and said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha �� you all are wrong! Not only will Ye Yuan not become our enemy, but he��ll also become our most powerful ally instead! Or should I say, he��ll forever be the Priest Temple��s Second Sage!��


    Second Disciple was perplexed as he said, ��Master, this is impossible! Such a conceited person, this disciple has seen before no idea how many. How can this kind of person possibly become our ally?��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave him a glance and said, ��What Ye Yuan said, each word is a gem! It��s just that you all aren��t able to understand, that��s all! Didn��t you all discover that these few days, Number Seven changed a lot?��


    All the disciples were startled, looking toward Ji Mo one after another.


    If Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not say, they really would not have noticed it.


    With him saying this, they noticed that it was really true!


    These few years, not mentioning about Ji Mo��s great improvement in strength, his entire person��s temperament and aura also changed greatly.


    Could it be that these changes were all because of Ye Yuan?


    This shock was by no means insignificant.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest smiled and said, ��Not only is Ye Yuan not disrespectful toward me, but he��s actually very respectful toward me! I didn��t choose him because I want him to be obsequious in front of me, but because I want him to become a true powerhouse. I want him to help me break the shackles!��


    ��He doesn��t owe me anything. For him to be able to have today��s achievements, it was by relying on his powerful willpower and strength!��


    ��From that moment he sat opposite me, our confrontation is considered to have officially begun! Every movement, every word, even action, are all a competition between us. Since it��s a competition, then one can��t lose on aura! If he��s reverent and respectful in front of me, then there��s no need to compete. He already lost!��


    ��What Ye Yuan said is right. He can sit opposite me calmly, but you guys? Which of you can sit in front of me and regard with equanimity, drink tea calmly, and debate on Dao?��


    The group of disciples all had ashamed looks on their faces. What their master said was right. Making them sit opposite him and drink tea indifferently and calmly, none of them could do it!


    Even the Eldest Disciple, High Priest Green Nether, who followed their master the longest, could not do it too!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest smiled and said, ��This is the first lesson that Second Sage taught you guys. Think about it properly! His appearance might be a turning point in your lives!��


    Everyone��s hearts suddenly trembled. No wonder their master brought all of them with him.


    At first, they even thought that it was bringing them to witness the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference. Only now did they suddenly come to realize the truth. It turned out that it was for Ye Yuan!


    Their master��s action was well-intentioned!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest poured tea for Ye Yuan and said smilingly, ��Huhu, I naturally know that you have this potential and strength. Except, I won��t lose either!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Losing and winning is very important, but it��s also not important! Losing, need to see if the loss is worthwhile or not!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance and let out a sigh as he said, ��You��re stronger than me! This logic, I only understood it after a very, very long time. But it looks like you��re already prepared.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Understanding now isn��t too late either! The strong will always become braver in the face of setbacks!��

 Chapter 2291 - Sit and Debate on Dao

    Ye Yuan sat and debated on Dao with Sacred Ancestor High Priest. The group of disciples by the side listened like they did not fully understand.


    Among them, there were some who were long already Deva Realm supreme powerhouses and had also already reached grand completion Ancestor Realm in alchemy too.


    But without taking the step of refining a Dao pill, one would never be able to take part in the two people��s discussion.


    They discovered that the things Master and Ye Yuan debated on already exceeded their understanding and reached another level.


    Medicinal pills were different from other cultivation practices. It was a Dao with spirit medicines as the foundation, and it needed to be expressed through specific materials.


    Furthermore, heaven and earth spirit medicines had different attributes. It could be said to be all-encompassing.


    To the vast majority of alchemists, their pill refinement all stopped on the material level.


    This path was especially difficult to go from the metaphysical and reach the level of Dao.


    Reaching this level, it was all about understanding spirit medicines at the level of Dao. The perspective was totally different.


    The 11 disciples�� understanding was from bottom to top.


    But Ye Yuan��s and Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s understanding was from top to bottom.


    It was an awe-inspiring view from a high place.


    Even though the two of them were not truly towering at the summit, it was not a height that the average person could reach.


    Gradually, above Feather Mountain, Dao melody reverberated, lingering incessantly.


    On the entire Feather Mountain, it reverberated with the lingering charm of Dao.


    Even though the 11 disciples were unable to fully understand things, their strength also stood at the pinnacle of the mortal realm. This level of Dao debate naturally benefited them a lot.


    ��Hahaha �� Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Ye Yuan, your view really let this emperor become enlightened at once!�� Wing said with a big laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Likewise, Senior Sacred Ancestor��s brilliant ideas made this Ye also have a feeling of being enlightened.��


    Suddenly, Wing reined in his expression, and said seriously, ��Ye Yuan, although your Dao is still very immature, it has already revealed its sharpness! As long as you keep walking all the way, you might walk even further than me and the Medicine Ancestor!��


    With this round of Dao debate, the shock in Wing��s heart could not be greater.


    The depths of Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao, the incisiveness of his insights, all of them were not like what a fledging kid should have, but rather he seemed to be like an expert with deep accumulations.


    Even though this was also within reason, he discovered that he still underestimated Ye Yuan.


    Especially when Ye Yuan talked about his 60 years of Dao enlightenment, gathering the essence of a myriad Alchemy Daos, making him be re-molded thoroughly anew.


    Often, some of the insights that Ye Yuan said were all things that he had not even thought about before.


    At a young age, he could actually have such profound insights, it was simply inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Foods need to be eaten bite by bite, ever since comprehending the source of Alchemy Dao, my Alchemy Dao progress has evidently slowed down.��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of each and every one of the disciples revealed strange looks.


    These words were too pretentious!


    Other people cultivating Alchemy Dao, which one did not calculate in tens of thousands of years?


    Your 2000 over years of Dao enlightenment already beat other people��s tens of millions of years of comprehension, you were still not satisfied?


    The hardest thing in Alchemy Dao was comprehending the power of source this step.


    This punk already opened the gates and actually still complained that it was too slow!


    Wing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You punk, if these words are said on Feather Mountain, then it��s fine. If you go outside and say it, you will probably drown in saliva!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This time, I came precisely to spar with the Heavenspan World��s top powerhouses. It��s just, I don��t know if that person will lower himself and have a match with me, this junior.��


    Wing smiled and said, ��That will have to depend on your ability, whether or not you can force him out! But you don��t look down on the heroes of the world too much either. This Heavenspan World isn��t just a Medicine Ancestor and a Sacred Ancestor High Priest. Although the people who comprehended Alchemy Dao source are very few, it��s also not like there aren��t any.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Senior, rest assured, this Ye has an idea in my heart.��


    Wing nodded and said, ��Mn, I naturally feel assured about you. If you were short-tempered and had a personality that doesn��t know the proper way to act, you also wouldn��t have today.��


    With the two people��s Dao debate coming to an end, both parties benefited a lot.


    Ye Yuan was originally only muddleheaded about Dao pills. But Wing��s Dao debate opened up another door for Ye Yuan.


    These things were sufficient for him to digest for some time.


    Finished chatting about these, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and asked curiously, ��Senior, may I be so bold as to ask what��s your realm?��


    Towards the realm division above Deva Realm, Ye Yuan was not clear about it.


    Seeing Wing this time, he naturally had to resolve the doubts in his heart.


    Wing smiled and said, ��This emperor has already transcended four blight tribulations, and is Deva Fourth Blight Realm.��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��With Senior��s strength, you��re only Deva Fourth Blight?��


    Wing laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Deva blight tribulation isn��t as simple as you imagine. The further to the back, the more terrifying! Deva Realm powerhouses obtain eternal life and violate Heavenly Dao, resulting in Heavenly Dao sending down blight tribulations. The goal is to kill martial artists. Therefore, many people can transcend the first blight tribulation, second blight tribulation, but after the third time, there are very few. Even the Medicine Ancestor is also merely Fourth Blight Realm, that��s all.��


    Ye Yuan��s mind was in upheaval. Turns out that the existence of the blight tribulation was actually such a purpose!


    He had always thought that Wing and Medicine Ancestor were both Deva Fifth Blight supreme powerhouses. Did not expect that they were only just Fourth Blight.


    ��This �� Then just how strong are Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses? Can they rival Dao Ancestors?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Wing shook his head and said, ��Dao Ancestors control the rules in a region. That��s bestowed by Heavenly Dao! Even after transcending Deva Fifth Blight, it��s also impossible to be their match. Of course, among Deva Fifth Blights, there are still some extremely terrifying existences. Their strength might only be a hair��s breadth away compared to Dao Ancestors.��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��There��s actually still this kind of powerhouse! Does Senior know which powerhouse in the Heavenspan World has such strength?��


    Wing smiled and said, ��This emperor knows that your relationship with the Jian Family is pretty good. The Jian Family��s ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, is such a terrifying existence! The present Deva Fourth Blight, Fifth Blight powerhouses, were mostly only gradually born after the Doomsday Battle. But I heard that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets is an old monster who survived from the previous epoch, his strength unfathomable. Of course, nobody has seen him take action before either. As for whether or not he can really rival Dao Ancestors, there��s no way of knowing.��


    Ye Yuan felt a chill as he listened to it!


    In his understanding, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Medicine Ancestor, and Sacred Ancestor High Priest should be existences on the same level.


    Who could have thought that he was actually so terrifying?


    Ye Yuan��s heart stirred and he said, ��Then �� does Senior know of the existence of the divine race?��


    Wing nodded and said, ��Heard of it, but I don��t know about the details.��


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��Then does Senior know that the new Doomsday Battle is about to arrive very soon?��


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest, who had always been calm and collected, his complexion finally changed. He said in surprise, ��There��s actually still such a thing? How did you know?��


    Ye Yuan recounted the events of the Abyss World and divine race, making everyone present have grim expressions after listening.


    An invisible pressure echoed in the hall.


    ��Senior, the divine race prepared for an epoch. They will surely come down on us like a ton of bricks this time! The Sacrificial Temple still needs to take precautions early!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Wing let out a deep sigh and said, ��Doomsday Battle �� Is this another samsara? No wonder I��ve been restless recently. It turns out that the reason is actually this!��

 Chapter 2292 - Fishing

    Ye Yuan stayed at Feather Mountain, going into a retreat to digest the gains of these few days.


    Exchanging the things he learned with a leading authority figure like Wing, he had to admit, it was a mentally and physically exhausting thing to do.


    Even with Ye Yuan��s abilities, digesting it was absolutely not an easy thing too.


    After Heavenly Emperor Justbright entered Cloudheart Realm, he brought Old Drunkard to go to Cloudheart City to collect spirit medicines.


    Cloudheart City was the host of the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time, the spirit medicines gathered were countless.


    Rank eight spirit medicines were not common wares found on the streets. Even in Cloudheart Realm, one could not buy it as they wished either.


    Furthermore, Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill��s spirit medicines also belonged to the high-end existence among rank eight spirit medicines. Wanting to purchase them naturally needed to expend a lot of effort.


    Old Drunkard coming to this kind of sacred place, he naturally wanted to experience it. Hence, he went with Justbright.


    Half a month later, Ye Yuan exited seclusion and had an even deeper comprehension of Great Dao source.


    However, there were many things comprehended this time that were too profound. Ye Yuan was also unable to fully understand them for the time being and could only save it for later to slowly digest.


    The Dao debate this time also let Ye Yuan have a clear understanding of the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor, these existences�� strength.


    Their strength in alchemy indeed made people feel like they were beholding a great mountain.


    ��Ye Yuan, Senior Justbright and Old Drunkard have already been gone for more than a month, and haven��t returned until now. Something wouldn��t have happened, right?�� Baili Qingyan said worriedly.


    Ye Yuan had a strange look and said, ��Haven��t come back until now? Something might have really happened! But you rest assured, they know that Justbright and Old Drunkard are my people. So they won��t harm their lives.��


    The voice had yet to fade when a voice sounded out outside.


    ��Great Melancholy Realm��s Longwinter requests an audience with Second Sage!��


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��You see, didn��t it come? Reckon that somebody can��t stand the loneliness, and wants to challenge me.��


    Baili Qingyan��s beautiful eyes flickered, the pride in her heart rising.


    This was the man that she fancied, a man who was already standing on the summit of this Heavenspan World!


    When Heavenly Emperor Longwinter saw Ye Yuan, he felt surprised in his heart.


    He did not expect that the Second Sage whose fame shook the alchemy world was actually so young.


    But very soon, his heart settled down.


    Such a young little fellow, how could he possibly be his young master��s match?


    It seemed like the outside world��s rumors about how the Second Sage was were mostly biased.


    Thinking up to here, his awe toward Second Sage this title immediately lessened significantly.


    ��Finding me for?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Longwinter stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��Longwinter is passing on a message on behalf of Young Master, my family��s young master is Great Melancholy Realm��s Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian��s disciple, Zhao Zixuan. I believe Second Sage must have heard of him.��


    Ye Yuan said puzzledly, ��Very sorry, I really never heard of him before. Uh �� is Great Melancholy Realm��s Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian very famous?��


    Longwinter was stunned. He then immediately became greatly enraged and said in a solemn voice, ��Our Great Melancholy Realm is the Heavenspan World��s alchemy holy land that ranks at the top of the list, and yet you actually pretend that you haven��t heard of it?! With what you said, this emperor can take it that you��re provoking the Great Melancholy Realm!��


    Ye Yuan spread his two hands out and said speechlessly, ��Never heard before means never heard before. You can��t have me pretend to have heard of it, right?��


    He really never heard of Great Melancholy Realm before. Even Cloudheart Realm, he only heard of it recently too.


    As for whatever Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian, he naturally had not heard of him before.


    Ever since entering the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan��s understanding of the alchemy world was limited to the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    He really never paid much attention to other alchemy holy lands.


    Heavenly Emperor Longwinter said in a great rage, ��Very good! Second Sage��s words, Longwinter will definitely bring it and let Lord Yi Xian know!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, ��Up to you. So you��re here finding me for?��


    Longwinter said with a gloomy look, ��Second Sage��s two followers bumped into my family��s young master in the city and have already been detained by us! If Second Sage wishes to redeem them, please personally make a trip to Cloudheart City!��


    Longwinter originally thought that Ye Yuan would be furious after hearing it and accuse him. Who would have thought that Ye Yuan just nonchalantly gave an ��oh,�� and he then said, ��Let��s go then.��


    Finished talking, he already went out of the door.


    Longwinter discovered that it turned out the whole lot of excuses that he prepared were completely useless.


    Ye Yuan was after all the Sacrificial Temple��s Second Sage, his status being equivalent to the various holy land��s number two figure. He was extraordinary.


    If they wanted to find trouble with Ye Yuan, they naturally had to do their homework.


    But who knew that this guy did not play his cards according to the normal style at all, making him have a feeling of punching on empty space.


    Longwinter only came back to his senses after a while and hurriedly followed after.


    �� . .


    ��Blind thing! Our spirit medicines, you also dare to snatch them? Beat! Beat viciously for me! Lowly lackey, not hitting you, you won��t know the immensity of heaven and earth!�� Zhao Zixuan said viscously.


    By the side, a handsome young man said, ��Huhu, Brother Zixuan, what are you being angry with two lowly lackeys for? After their master comes, let��s seek out justice again.��


    Another young man said, ��Really didn��t expect that Second Sage��s fame is so great, but he actually can��t manage his subordinates! What a disgrace!��


    �� ��


    In the busy city, Heavenly Emperor Justbright and Old Drunkard were hung upside down on a stand, their bodies full of whip marks, looking very wretched.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his brows furrowed slightly.


    These two people��s lives were naturally unharmed. But doing so was clearly humiliating him, slapping his face.


    Although Heavenly Emperor Justbright was powerful, how could Great Melancholy Realm this sort of top holy land lack Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses?


    Heavenly Emperor Longwinter himself was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor mighty expert.


    Longwinter came before Zhao Zixuan and said with a bow, ��Young Master, Second Sage is here.��


    The few young men looked towards Ye Yuan one after another. Seeing Ye Yuan��s young face, they felt contempt in their hearts.


    ��This is the famous Second Sage? Huhu, these two subordinates of yours are too unruly, the Heavenly Sunflower that this young master took fancy on, they actually dared to snatch! This young master didn��t give and they actually even dared to insult me with words. No choice. This young master can only help you to discipline them,�� Zhao Zixuan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a chuckle.


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright saw Ye Yuan, he had an abashed look.


    The Heavenly Sunflower was a core ingredient of the Nine Refinements Cloudheaven Pill. He walked all over Cloudheart City and finally found it in a medicinal store.


    But as soon as he went in, the Heavenly Sunflower just happened to be bought by Zhao Zixuan and co.


    He was anxious in his heart and hurriedly found Zhao Zixuan and company, wanting to buy it over.


    Zhao Zixuan and company were very disdainful toward Heavenly Emperor Justbright with their words. The intent of provocation was very thick.


    However, Heavenly Emperor Justbright saw that Zhao Zixuan and company were not strong. Plus, the clothes they were wearing were not overly garish, hence, he underestimated them.


    With a few exchanges, Heavenly Emperor Justbright suddenly became greatly enraged and was about to take care of Zhao Zixuan few people.


    Who knew that at this time, several formidable powerhouses suddenly jumped out, restraining him all at once.


    Only then did Zhao Zixuan and the rest reveal their identities, scaring Heavenly Emperor Justbright out of his wits.


    Each one of these few people actually all had great backgrounds, they were the Heavenspan World��s top alchemy holy lands�� disciples.


    No matter how stupid he was, he also understood.


    He was fished!


    These few fellows pretended to be a pig in order to eat a tiger, intentionally baiting him. No wonder he traveled all over Cloudheart City and still could not purchase the Heavenly Sunflower.

 Chapter 2293 - Start Your Performance

    ��He��s the legendary Second Sage? Looks very ordinary!��


    ��Yeah, he��s so young, how strong can he be?��


    ��Looks like the name falls short of reality. Second Sage might only be highly talented. That��s why he��s valued by Sacred Ancestor High Priest.��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s fame had long already been resounding like the roar of thunder in the alchemy world.


    Everyone��s expectations of him were too high!


    As the saying went, to know a man by reputation is not as good as meeting him face to face. The feeling that Ye Yuan��s appearance gave people was that it could not be trusted.


    Even a peerless genius like Zhao Zixuan also had more than 100 thousand years spent on cultivating alchemy.


    An alchemy genius at Zhao Zixuan��s age, it was originally impossible to acknowledge Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian as master.


    These alchemy holy lands have long already had disciples spread like branches and leaves, with students all over the world.


    Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian made an exception to take Zhao Zixuan in as a disciple. It could be seen how terrifying his alchemy talent was.


    As for the few people by the side, their talent and strength were all not inferior to Zhao Zixuan.


    In contrast, Ye Yuan was weak to the max at first glance.


    ��Heh heh, wonder if Lord Second Sage should give us an explanation or not?�� Zhao Zixuan said smugly.


    He had reason on his side. Furthermore, his background was deep. So he was not afraid of Ye Yuan finding fault.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��So what if my, Ye Yuan��s followers, insulted you? So what if they snatched your spirit medicines? They have this qualification! Are you satisfied with this explanation?��


    Arrogant!


    Overbearing!


    He, Second Sage, did not stoop to play whatever games with you at all!


    Zhao Zixuan and the rest were stunned when they heard that. They took the side of reason and could be said to have racked their brains in order to set this up.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan did not capitulate at all, not playing cards according to the rules.


    Zhao Zixuan sneered and said, ��Huhu, if Second Sage really has the strength of Second Sage, there��s naturally no one who dares to refute this! But do you have this strength?��


    ��Without this strength, you want to use your status to suppress us?��


    ��I��m very sorry. The few of our identities are not what you can intimidate willy-nilly either!��


    The few people all had scornful looks on their faces. A brat still wet behind his ears also dares to put on airs in front of them.


    Was Second Sage very impressive?


    Going to make you lose all standing and reputation today!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Didn��t they come up with so many tricks in order to force me to take action? As you guys wish!��


    Zhao Zixuan and the rest were overjoyed. This punk delivered himself to the doorstep. Then it could not be blamed on them anymore.


    The few of them were all major holy lands�� direct lineage disciples, with their statuses being extraordinary.


    The title of Second Sage could intimidate others, but it really could not scare them.


    ��Heh, this is what Second Sage yourself said!�� Zhao Zixuan said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Against you, these juniors, originally, this sage was disdainful to take action. But not beating the few of your little fellows into submission, probably can��t avoid there being some people who have devious thoughts! Since that��s the case, I��ll make the few of you the first target.��


    Everyone��s faces revealed strange looks.


    Juniors?


    Little fellows?


    This tone behaved like such a senior!


    Bearing the title of Second Sage, he did not even know what his surname was anymore?


    Zhao Zixuan sneered when he heard that and said, ��Is that so? Then today, the few of us will witness Second Sage��s strength!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��My strength? Just the likes of you can��t see it yet. Your family��s ancestor coming out is more like it.��


    ��Ignorant!��


    ��Wildly arrogant!��


    ��Don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth!��


    �� ��


    The people were enraged when they heard that. Ye Yuan��s words were putting himself onto the position of the Heavenspan World��s pinnacle-most alchemists.


    This guy was also too shameless!


    It seemed like after receiving the title of Second Sage, he really became unbelievably inflated.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Oh, right. If I win, let the two of them go and apologize to them, and then hand the spirit medicine to them! Otherwise, this Ye will go and ask Medicine Ancestor for an explanation!��


    Zhao Zixuan had a disdainful look as he said, ��Fine. If you win against us, what��s the harm in apologizing? It��s just that I��m afraid that your reputation will be destroyed today!��


    ��Heh heh, you even want to find the Medicine Ancestor to ask for an explanation. I��m afraid that you won��t have the face to meet him!��


    ��You��re looking down on the heroes of the world too much! The few of us have followed our masters for many years and already acquired much of their true legacy, just you wait to lose!��


    Ye Yuan did not express any opinion and said coolly, ��No need to make it so complicated. You guys set up the question. Each person refine a medicinal pill that they are best at. If I were to lose to any of you, it��s considered my loss!��


    Ye Yuan did not take these few guys seriously at all.


    Too weak!


    It was just that these words sounded too conceited to others.


    Every one of them who was present was a rising star of the alchemy world. They were existences that would shock the world in the future.


    Nobody dared to deny their talent.


    Furthermore, the domain that each of them was adept at was different. Even if it was an ordinary alchemy major power, they also did not dare to say such words.


    After all, those major powers were formidable but had their own shortcomings too.


    These shortcomings were not considered shortcomings in front of some people. But in front of someone like Zhao Zixuan, it would be magnified infinitely.


    When Zhao Zixuan heard that, he smiled coldly and said, ��This is what you said!��


    Ye Yuan said impatiently, ��Start your performance then.��


    Bang!


    The few people took out medicinal cauldrons from their storage rings and actually started refining pills on the streets.


    ��That��s �� Xuanyuan Cauldron!��


    ��There��s also Brutal Wind Cauldron, Cloudmist Cauldron �� My God, these are all renown peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures!��


    ��These heavenly emperor spirit treasures were medicinal cauldrons that Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian they all used back then before they became famous. I didn��t expect that they were passed to them!��


    ��With these precious cauldrons, the quality of the medicinal pills will definitely go up another level! Heh heh, I want to see how Second Sage cleans up the mess!��


    �� ��


    These few disciples had clearly obtained their elders�� showing of favor, bestowing upon them precious cauldrons that made a name for themselves back then.


    With these precious cauldrons, their strength would be akin to adding wings to a tiger.


    At this time, there were already quite a number of people waiting to watch the joke.


    Second Sage might be very talented, but he was too haughty, these young masters present were not ordinary people!


    Zhao Zixuan and the rest discussed for a bit, the corners of each and every one of their mouths revealed a smug look.


    When everyone saw this scene, they palpated with fear and anxiety.


    These guys were definitely going to pose difficult problems to Ye Yuan!


    ��Second Sage, the medicinal pill that I��m refining is the Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill. Watch closely!��


    Zhao Zixuan gave a cold laugh, sending one spirit medicine after another into the medicinal cauldron.


    Another said to Ye Yuan with a cold smile, ��Second Sage, what I��m refining is the Nine Apertures Heavenly Dust Pill, watch closely!��


    ��Second Sage, what I��m refining is the Zheng Yi Imperial Extreme Pill!��


    �� ��


    Zhao Zixuan this side had a total of five people. Each time they reported the name of a medicinal pill, the faces of the people at the sides became a little more shocked.


    These medicinal pills were too obscure!


    Not only were they obscure, but the refining difficulty was also very high.


    Five types of medicinal pills could be said to be five extremes.


    It was simply impossible for ordinary alchemists to be adept at these five kinds of medicinal pills at the same time.


    Even if Ye Yuan could refine them, it was also impossible for the quality of the medicinal pills to surpass these five people at the same time.


    ��Heh heh, this is fun now!��


    ��This is the price of looking down on alchemy holy lands�� direct lineage disciples! The price is losing all standing and reputation!��


    ��No matter what, Second Sage also won��t dare to accept this kind of challenge, this is equivalent to looking for abuse!��


    �� ��


    Everyone around shook their heads one after another.

 Chapter 2294 - Looking at What?

    Zhao Zixuan five people were well-deserving of being the disciples of ancestor-class powerhouses. The moment they made their moves, the momentum was astonishing.


    Five powerful auras billowed to the sky, attracting more and more people to surround and watch, cries of exclamations lingering in the ears incessantly.


    These five people were all extraordinary, but their refining methods were quite different.


    What they were refining represented five extremes, just like the five vertices of a pentagon.


    Unless your alchemy strength was balanced to the extreme, otherwise, wanting to win the five people at the same time was simply even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Alchemy techniques were eternally changing, but those that could attain the level of an ancestor, which one did not go through endless tempering?


    Their unique techniques all had extremely unique aspects.


    Even if Zhao Zixuan and the rest only learned one-thousandth of it, it was also sufficient to sweep across a region.


    Moreover, these five people each had their own strengths. The medicinal pills that they refined were all fields that they were proficient in. Furthermore, it was very obscure.


    The five of them had clearly already discussed it; it was to embarrass Ye Yuan!


    In terms of seniority, they were all a generation younger than Ye Yuan.


    Doing so, no one dared to criticize or comment!


    A powerhouse like Zhao Zixuan normally rarely took action.


    The moment he made his move at this time, he immediately overawed others by a show of strength, arousing a wave of exclamations.


    Quite a few people all cast sympathetic gazes toward Ye Yuan, thinking that he was screwed for sure this time.


    ��I originally thought that for Second Sage to be able to be valued by Sacred Ancestor High Priest, he must have aspects that surpass others. But I didn��t expect that he��s an egomaniac!��


    ��Being able to be taken in as a disciple by someone of an ancestor-class, which one could be an ordinary person? This Second Sage underestimated the enemy too much!��


    ��Heh, if Sacred Ancestor High Priest was to lose, what he loses won��t just be his own face. Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s face will also be slapped resoundingly!��


    �� ��


    In the crowd, two figures exchanged a glance and smiled.


    These two people were precisely Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather and Leng Tianhao��s elder brother, Leng Tianqi.


    Zhao Zixuan and the rest were instigated precisely by Leng Tianqi.


    Although Leng Tianqi was the Medicine Ancestor��s grand-pupil, actually, the Medicine Ancestor��s seniority was half a generation above even the various major ancestors.


    Hence, even though Leng Tianqi had a lower level of seniority, his friendship with Zhao Zixuan and the rest was still pretty good.


    After all, who did not wish to curry favor with the Medicine Ancestor��s lineage?


    He could not personally take action and could only borrow the hands of Zhao Zixuan and the rest to deal with Ye Yuan.


    It was just that he also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually fell for it just like this, coming up with such a way to compete in alchemy. It was really ownself looking for abuse.


    ��Huhu, this emperor wants to see how the exalted Second Sage steps down from the stage this time!�� Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather said with a cold laugh.


    ��Humph! If not for Master not letting me take action, I��d be able to waste him by myself! Just a little bastard who��s still wet behind his ears, Does he really take himself to be someone important?�� Leng Tianqi said disdainfully.


    The Medicine Ancestor��s lineage had always regarded themselves highly.


    Whatever Second Sage was nothing in Leng Tianqi��s eyes at all.


    If it was some reclusive elder, then forget it. Yet, Ye Yuan was a snotty brat. Why would he take him seriously?


    The Heavenspan World��s so-called alchemy geniuses were practically all gathered here.


    Even if this Second Sage was very formidable, how heaven-defying could he be?


    ��However, Zhao Zixuan and the others, their strengths are really strong enough. It��s probably not beneath yours already!�� Azurefeather praised.


    Leng Tianqi nodded and said, ��The five of them are all geniuses that are hard to come across in a million years. In terms of talent, they are absolutely not beneath those few disciples of Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Even I also don��t dare to say that I can definitely win, and yet this punk really dares to be careless! But like this is good as well. Finally I vented this frustration for Little Hao. After this punk loses all standing and reputation, I��ll slowly deal with him!��


    Azurefeather��s eyes were full of hatred and he said, ��The humiliation of kneeling, this emperor will definitely make him pay a hemorrhaging price!��


    �� ��


    Five days passed in a twinkle, this alchemy battle attracted more and more people��s attention.


    There were even some Deva Realm powerhouses who joined in too.


    The refinement of Zhao Zixuan and the rest already came to an end as well!


    ��Condense!��


    Zhao Zixuan gave a cold cry. The light faded, a rank eight divine pill was fresh out of the furnace!��


    Wiping away the sweat on his forehead, Zhao Zixuan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile on his face, ��How is it, Second Sage? A void spirit Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill can still enter your arcane sights, right?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Mn, it��s barely considered enough to enter my sights.��


    This Zhao Zixuan��s strength was indeed considered very good among the young generation already.


    Among the so-called alchemy geniuses that Ye Yuan had encountered, he was indeed ridiculously formidable.


    It was just a pity that his opponent was Ye Yuan.


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s words, everyone naturally thought otherwise, thinking that he was puffing himself up at his own cost.


    The Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill was a rank eight divine pill. Furthermore, it belonged to an aberrant class among rank eight divine pills and was extremely hard to refine.


    For Zhao Zixuan to be able to refine a void spirit Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill, it was sufficient to see how powerful his strength was!


    One had to know, for ordinary Eight-star Alchemy Gods to be able to refine high-grade or superior-grade medicinal pills, it was already very impressive.


    Not only Zhao Zixuan refined divine-grade, but he also even refined a void spirit divine pill.


    This level was far from what ordinary Eight-star Alchemy Gods could compare to.


    His refinement already exceeded everyone��s imagination.


    The moment these words came out, it immediately caused a great sensation, cries of exclamations rising and ebbing like waves.


    In the crowd, a middle-aged man called out, ��Master Zixuan, I wonder if you��re selling this Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill or not? I��m Seven Star Establishment��s Mu Tiesheng. I��m willing to buy this medicinal pill with one billion superior-grade divine essence stones!��


    Another person said in a clear voice, ��Heh, one billion and you want to buy a void spirit Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill? Master Zixuan, I, Bright Mirror Pavilion��s Fang Tianren, offers two billion!��


    ��I��ll offer 2.5 billion!�� Mu Tiesheng did not back down in the slightest.


    ��I��ll offer three billion!�� Fang Tianren said again.


    ��You!�� Mu Tiesheng��s expression choked up, he could not quite bear this price anymore.


    While Fang Tianren had a proud look on his face.


    Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses had their own circles. Rank eight divine pills basically would not circulate in the secular world.


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was formidable, but he was just dealing in the business of mortals.


    But Mu Tiesheng and Fang Tianren, those two were truly major powers of a region, powerhouses who did the business of Heavenly Emperors.


    Zhao Zixuan maintained his composure, watching the two people vie with each other. Only at this time did he smile and say, ��Are the two of you not going to wait? There��s still a Second Sage here. Since he has the title of Second Sage, I believe that the grade he refined should be higher than mine.��


    Fang Tianren gave Ye Yuan a glance and said disdainfully, ��Just based on him? His hair isn��t even fully grown yet. Even if he is astonishingly talented, it��s also impossible to refine such high-quality medicinal pills. Heh heh, Second Sage? Really makes people laugh their heads off!��


    Ye Yuan also gave him a glance, remembering this person.


    He had no intentions of finding trouble with anyone. But this kind of idiot was naturally added to the blacklist by him.


    ��Looking at what? Not convinced? If even a snotty brat like you can become Second Sage, then wouldn��t Master Zixuan become a saint?��


    In order to obtain the medicinal pill, Fang Tianren also went all out, directly stepping on Ye Yuan to flatter Zhao Zixuan.


    Witnessing Zhao Zixuan five people��s strength, there was already no one present who felt that Ye Yuan would win.


    After all, Zhao Zixuan��s strength already exceeded their understanding.


    Sure enough, Zhao Zixuan was a real sucker for this, and said with a smile, ��Pavilion Lord Fang indeed knows how to do business. After this is over, I��ll sell it to you.��


    The moment Fang Tianren heard, he could not help being overjoyed and gave thanks repeatedly.


    Finally, he even gave Mu Tiesheng a glance like putting on a show of force, being extremely proud of himself.

 Chapter 2295 - Five Formations Chain!

    ��Void spirit Nine Apertures Heavenly Dust Pill!��


    ��Void spirit Zheng Yi Imperial Extreme Pill!��


    �� ��


    Very soon, the other four people also completed the refinement one after another.


    With one medicinal pill after another coming out of the furnace, one wave after another of high tide stirred up all around.


    The medicinal pills that these five people refined were actually all void spirit divine pills!


    Of course, in terms of quality, it was still Zhao Zixuan��s that was the best, slightly winning the others by a notch.


    Furthermore, the moment the few medicinal pills came out of the furnace, they were bought by Fang Tianren at a high price.


    Bright Mirror Pavilion was clearly loaded as hell, five medicinal pills directly cost him close to 15 billion superior-grade divine essence stones.


    One had to know, a superior-grade divine essence stone was equivalent to ten thousand high-grade divine essence stones.


    This number was already an astronomical figure.


    However, void spirit divine-grade rank eight divine pills, as long as it was sold, he could make a big killing.


    After all, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were mostly not short of money. As long as there were good medicinal pills, they were willing to spend this money.


    It was just that rank eight divine pills were too hard to come across, they had nowhere to buy it even if they had money too.


    ��Second Sage, the few of us have served as a modest spur so that others may come forward with more valuable contributions. It��s your turn now! With so many people are watching, you shouldn��t let them down, right?�� Zhao Zixuan said with a smug look.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said, ��Mn, the few of you should still have spirit medicines on hand, right?��


    Rank eight spirit medicines were all extremely precious, a stalk of spirit medicine would definitely be used to the utmost extent.


    Zhao Zixuan smiled coldly and said, ��Naturally have, Second Sage wants to refine, we��ll naturally offer it up with both hands.��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Can��t take your things for free. Otherwise, after the medicinal pills are refined, wouldn��t you all take advantage of it for free?��


    The spirit medicines came from the five of them, logically speaking, the ownership of the medicinal pills should be theirs. Ye Yuan naturally would not let them get off cheaply for nothing.


    Zhao Zixuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Does that mean that Second Sage is going to buy them?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him. Walking in front of Mu Tiesheng, he said coolly, ��You pay this sum of money, and then the medicinal pills refined belong to you. Are you willing or not?��


    Mu Tiesheng was stunned, there was actually still such a good thing?


    Just as he was hesitating, Fang Tianren ridiculed again, ��Hurry up and agree to it! Second Sage taking action, it will definitely be even higher than void spirit grade, such a good thing, there won��t be this shop after passing by this village! Hahaha ����


    Done talking, Fang Tianren burst into laughter.


    Compared to finished medicinal pills, the cost of spirit medicines was naturally not much.


    But the likelihood of Ye Yuan successfully refining the five medicinal pills was negligible.


    If the quality was also not high, it would be tantamount to him doing a loss-making deal.


    However, Fang Tianren��s mocking smile deeply triggered him.


    Mu Tiesheng gritted his teeth and said with a cold smile, ��Buddha needs incense, and a man needs self-respect! I��ll buy it. I am not scared! Second Sage, I, Mu Tiesheng, will bet on this!��


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��A very wise choice!��


    Fang Tianren laughed loudly and said, ��Indeed a win-win cooperation, impressive, impressive!��


    In the end, Mu Tiesheng spent 1.5 billion superior-grade divine essence stones and bought the spirit medicines for the five types of spirit medicines from the five people��s hands.


    At this time, Zhao Zixuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��With Second Sage��s status, I��m afraid his medicinal cauldron should be a Dao artifact, right? Can you take it out and let us broaden our horizons?��


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan did not have a Dao artifact on him, and so he was intentionally squeezing Ye Yuan.


    How could Dao artifacts be what anybody could have?


    The medicinal cauldrons on them, those were all top-grade existences, everyone envious of it.


    The exalted Second Sage could not very well lose to them in medicinal cauldron.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Medicinal cauldron? What��s that? Only trash like you will treat a medicinal cauldron like a treasure.��


    Zhao Zixuan burst out laughing when he heard that and said, ��No medicinal cauldron, can you still magick medicinal pills out of thin air? Second Sage, indeed well-deserving of being Second Sage, broadening our horizons!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    A wave of guffaws came from all around.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan made a move.


    It was only to see him lightly tap the void. An elementary form of a grand array was currently being sketched out rapidly.


    As Ye Yuan constructed the array formation, he sent spirit medicines into the array formation, his movements incomparably swift.


    ��Formation Dao Pill Refinement! He �� He��s actually using Formation Dao to refine rank eight divine pills!��


    ��What a profound array formation! I totally can��t understand what he��s doing!��


    ��This �� These five kinds of medicinal pills don��t have records of Formation Dao Pill Refinement at all! Can he �� really refine rank eight divine pills?��


    �� ��


    After experiencing initial shock, everyone started doubting again one after another.


    After all, using Formation Dao to refine rank eight divine pills was what many ancestors could not accomplish either.


    Formation Dao and Alchemy Dao were two completely different Great Daos.


    Especially reaching rank eight divine pill this level, the grand array needed to be used was too complicated. Ordinary alchemists could not develop it at all.


    Hence, after seeing Ye Yuan refining pills with Formation Dao, everyone��s first reaction was them being surprised.


    And the second reaction was disbelief!


    Zhao Zixuan sneered and said, ��Courting people��s favor by doing something sensational! The difficulty of these five kinds of medicinal pills is extremely high. Furthermore, they are extremely obscure, it��s simply impossible to use Formation Dao to refine them!��


    However, he did not understand what was the source of Formation Dao.


    The so-called source of Formation Dao was standing from the angle of the source, to analyze the array formation.


    Only knowing Alchemy Dao source and not knowing Formation Dao source, it would naturally be impossible to refine pills.


    Only knowing Formation Dao source and not understanding Alchemy Dao source, one would similarly not be able to refine it.


    However, how many people in this Heavenspan World could be the same as Ye Yuan, comprehending two great powers of source at the same time?


    The array formation that Ye Yuan set up became more and more complicated. He kept sending spirit medicines into the array formation to refine unceasingly.


    Furthermore, the spirit medicines that he sent in did not start from the Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill but appeared rather disorderly and unsystematic.


    Sometimes, what he sent in were the spirit medicines of the Seven Treasures Blood Congealing Pill; at other times, what he sent in were the spirit medicines of the Zheng Yi Imperial Extreme Pill. All in all, it was disorderly.


    When everyone saw this scene, they revealed a disdainful look even more.


    Even if it was Formation Dao Pill Refinement, how could it be refined like this?


    It was simply neither here nor there!


    Fang Tianren laughed loudly when he saw the situation and said, ��Hahaha �� a fine ��a man needs self-respect��! Mu Tiesheng, I want to see how you earn this self-respect! The way he��s doing it, your 1.5 billion will all go down the drain! What dogfart Second Sage, complete baloney!��


    Mu Tiesheng��s expression was livid, his heart sinking to rock-bottom. Suddenly, he had a feeling of being played.


    Ye Yuan doing it like this, he was really going to lose everything!


    Not only was this Second Sage unworthy of the title, but he was also simply full of shit!


    How could he have been blind and bet on him?


    Facing Fang Tianren��s mocking, he actually could not find any words to refute it.


    Helpless, he could only heave a sigh and planned on turning around and leaving.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s formation Dao also neared its end already.


    ��Five formations chain, formations arise! Pill condense!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan shouted loudly. This massive formation finally started operating fully.


    For a moment, light shone brilliantly!


    That blinding light shot straight into the sky, dazzling everyone until they could not open their eyes.


    That terrifying undulation could be heard audibly throughout Cloudheart City.


    A grand array that refined five medicinal pills at the same time, how shocking was the commotion?


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at that large formation in amazement, struck dumb with amazement.


    They seemed to have forgotten about time. After the light dissipated, five crystal clear medicinal pills were suspended in the air quietly.

 Chapter 2296 - Reneging

    ��Hiss ����


    There were sounds of cold air being sucked in all around.


    The scene before their eyes had clearly already exceeded their understanding.


    Ye Yuan set up five large formations in one breath. Then activated the five large formations at the same time, refining five rank eight divine pills!


    This kind of means, forget about seeing it; they had never even heard of it before.


    Marvelous work of art!


    Inconceivable!


    ��Is �� Is this Second Sage��s strength? Truly ridiculously strong!��


    ��Just based on this move, Second Sage has already attained mastery, becoming an ancestor-class powerhouse!��


    ��We were all duped by his age! Sacred Ancestor High Priest is Sacred Ancestor High Priest; his eyesight is really sharp! The title of Second Sage is well-deserved!��


    �� ��


    The originally doubtful voices all turned into exclamations at this time.


    Ye Yuan��s strength already completely subdued them.


    The Mu Tiesheng who had just walked out not far away suddenly turned around, two eyes shining.


    ��V-Vast spirit divine pill!�� When he spoke, Mu Tiesheng��s chest was heaving up and down, even his voice was trembling. Clearly, he was extremely excited.


    Rank eight vast spirit divine pills were several times more valuable than void spirit divine pills!


    Furthermore, there was demand but no supply.


    One had to know, Zhao Zixuan and the rest practically represented the peak standard of Eight-star Alchemy Gods already.


    Even some senior Eight-star Alchemy Gods, their standards were far inferior to them as well.


    When they took action, they could merely just refine void spirit divine pills too.


    This showed that the void spirit divine pills circulating on the market were already very, very few.


    As for vast spirit divine pills, it was virtually extinct!


    ��Vast spirit divine pill! Hahaha, vast spirit divine pill! Rich! Really hit the jackpot this time! Fang Tianren, weren��t you showing off just now? Didn��t you say that Second Sage wasn��t even dogfart? Open your dog eyes and look at how strong Second Sage is!��


    Mu Tiesheng had been holding his anger the whole time. At this time, he finally released it without any reservation.


    Fang Tianren was long already struck senseless, looking at those five medicinal pills in a daze, his entire person in a dumbfounded state.


    His medicinal pills were purchased for three billion a pop, this price itself was already very high.


    Even if he were to increase the price, it could at most sell for four billion.


    But Mu Tiesheng��s medicinal pill?


    He only paid the cost price, 300 million a pop!


    Vast spirit divine pills had demand but no supply. Even if it was 20 billion each, there would absolutely be Heavenly Emperors who were willing to buy too!


    Five medicinal pills were 100 billion!


    1.5 billion exchanging for 100 billion �� Fang Tianren felt like his brain was somewhat overwhelmed.


    How could it be?


    How was this possible?


    This young Second Sage who had just stepped into Heavenly Emperor Realm, how could he possibly refine such a high-quality rank eight divine pill?


    This time, he really made an error of judgment.


    Actually, he did not make much money from these few medicinal pills either.


    It was just that he could not afford to offend those few little ancestors either, so he could only swallow the bitterness himself.


    Zhao Zixuan��s complexion was ashen, only feeling like his understanding was subverted.


    Using Formation Dao Pill Refinement, he refined all five of these extreme medicinal pills. Furthermore, the grade was even higher than theirs.


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan did not go all out.


    He only refined five medicinal pills at the same time in order to save trouble.


    If he refined it one by one, the quality of the medicinal pills would definitely be higher than now.


    It might �� even be possible to attain end spirit divine-grade!


    ��This �� This is impossible! How can Formation Dao Pill Refinement possibly be refined like you did? You �� How did you do it?�� Zhao Zixuan was battered out of his senses as he said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nothing is impossible. It��s just that you��re too weak and can��t understand it; that��s all. You feel that it��s impossible for me to reach your level at this age. But that��s just because your understanding limited your imagination. In Alchemy Dao, being this Ye��s junior isn��t unjust for you all!��


    Zhao Zixuan five people were all battered out of their senses. Their confidence was shattered until there was not an unscathed spot.


    All along, they had always considered themselves to be number one alchemy geniuses.


    These few people normally did not yield to anyone, all thinking that they were number one below the heavens.


    But today, Ye Yuan shattered their pride into smithereens in a crushing manner.


    ��Let them go, apologize!�� Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly turned sullen and he said in an aggressive manner.


    Carrying the might of a great victory, Ye Yuan��s voice could make the deaf hear and the blind see.


    The expressions of Zhao Zixuan and the rest changed suddenly. Finally, they were unable to withstand Ye Yuan��s pressure and announced release.


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright two people saw Ye Yuan, their old faces could not help turning red, very embarrassed.


    They had lived to a ripe old age, but were schemed against by a few little fellows, and even caused Ye Yuan to expose himself in public. They more or less felt a little bad in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan did not express much, but he looked at Zhao Zixuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Apologize!��


    The faces of Zhao Zixuan and the rest flickered incessantly. Agreeing previously, was because they felt that they would win for sure. Who knew that it would actually end in a disastrous defeat.


    These few days of alchemy battle already attracted countless powerhouses.


    Now, apologizing in front of so many people was equivalent to damaging the reputation of their own masters.


    Thinking up to here, he stiffened his neck and said, ��Already released the people! What��s there to apologize? This matter was originally your followers offending us first. So no matter how the logic goes, I��m on the side of reason too! me teaching them a lesson is perfectly justified!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping across the other few faces, and he said in a solemn voice, ��The few of you are the same too?��


    The other few naturally were not willing to diminish their family��s prestige too, how could they possibly apologize in public?


    ��Of course! This matter was originally your subordinates�� fault. Want to apologize, it should also be them apologizing!��


    ��Heh, even if you��re Second Sage, you also can��t be unreasonable, right?��


    ��Why, looking at Second Sage��s appearance, could it be that you��re going to use force? It��s just that your followers�� strength is too weak!��


    �� ��


    These few people were all extremely arrogant. The followers that they brought were all Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors, wanting to wreck Heavenly Emperor Justbright was all too casual for them.


    Therefore, they had nothing to fear.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan turned around and left, walking toward the crowd.


    Zhao Zixuan and the rest thought that Ye Yuan was leaving just like that and said disdainfully, ��Heh heh, so what if Second Sage? Merely a brat who just entered Heavenly Emperor, that��s all! If I don��t apologize, what can you do to me?��


    As Ye Yuan walked, the crowd automatically parted.


    But in the crowd, there were two people who were very awkward.


    These two people were precisely Leng Tianqi and Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather!


    The trap that they carefully set up actually became the battle that achieved Ye Yuan��s fame, what irony!


    However, they hid in the crowd and even thought that Ye Yuan did not discover them. Who knew that Ye Yuan actually went straight towards them.


    Nowhere to avoid!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan walked past them as if no one had seen them.


    Ye Yuan continued ahead, gradually walking in front of someone, and said calmly, ��Brother Zi Jin, you guys are the host. Is your Cloudheart City �� going to care about this matter or not?��


    This person was precisely Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin!


    It turned out that he was also hiding in the crowd, observing Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength.


    Honestly speaking, he was really taken aback.


    He completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually won in such a manner.


    Too exciting!


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually found him in the crowd at a glance, and came to question him.


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin also had another identity, that was Cloudheart City��s lord.


    This matter should be managed by him.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with difficulty, ��Second Sage, this matter �� was originally your own problem! I feel that Zhao Zixuan they all aren��t wrong!��

 Chapter 2297 - Request to Challenge Cloud Summer Mountain!

    Zi Jin thought that Ye Yuan would fly into a rage, and then Ye Yuan would question him loudly.


    But the result was unexpected.


    Ye Yuan just nonchalantly said ��understood,�� then turned around and left.


    ��Heh, what Second Sage. Merely a wuss, he doesn��t even dare to let out a fart!�� Leng Tianqi said with a disdainful look.


    Zhao Zixuan also smiled and said, ��No matter how formidable his Alchemy Dao, he��s also merely a brat! I reckon that he might be going back to cry to Sacred Ancestor High Priest right now.��


    ��Hahaha ���� Everyone guffawed with laughter.


    ��What kind of status does Sacred Ancestor High Priest have? How can he possibly forcibly stand up for this minor thing? This kid is still too young!�� Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather also said disdainfully.


    But Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin frowned slightly, kept on feeling that something was not quite right.


    He did not understand much about Ye Yuan, but looking at Ye Yuan��s attitude towards Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather previously, he did not seem like someone who yielded so easily.


    Just as he was musing, Zhao Zixuan and the rest came over to give thanks.


    ��Many thanks to Lord Zi Jin for your righteous actions, Zixuan is endlessly grateful!��


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin smiled and said, ��This emperor was just telling the truth. Zixun doesn��t have to be courteous.��


    Zhao Zixuan said hatefully, ��Second Sage is indeed a rare alchemy genius, but his behavior is a little too overbearing. Clearly was in the wrong, and he still wanted to force us to apologize, truly preposterous!��


    Zi Jin nodded and said, ��This matter, Second Sage was indeed in the wrong.��


    Actually, they naturally knew in their hearts as well.


    This matter was planned out by them in the first place. Zhao Zixuan also knew it in his heart.


    Hence, no matter what, Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin also would not stand on Ye Yuan��s side.


    Otherwise, wouldn��t he be slapping his own face?


    This side was just discussing animatedly when a thunderous voice rolled over from a distance.


    ��Priest Temple��s Ye Yuan requests to challenge Cloud Summer Mountain!��


    These 10 words could make the deaf hear and the blind see, echoing throughout the entire Cloudheart City.


    Everyone trembled all over, immediately revealing looks of astonishment.


    ��What? Second Sage he �� is actually going to challenge the mountain! Cloud Summer Mountain, that��s where Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove is staying! This �� This is going to be a big trouble now!��


    Everyone��s gazes all gathered on a youth in brocade beside Zhao Zixuan.


    The youth in brocade was called Zhu Tianxiang, who was precisely Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s proud disciple!


    ��Challenging the mountain, this is a blatant face-slapping behavior! Is Second Sage planning on challenging a holy land by himself? Too crazy! Too crazy!��


    ��You��re wrong! Most likely, his goal isn��t just a Cloud Summer Mountain!��


    ��What?! You mean ����


    Everyone��s gazes looked over toward Zhao Zixuan five people once more.


    Second Sage��s goal was not just a Cloud Summer Mountain, but it was to challenge the five great holy lands!


    They guessed correctly!


    Ye Yuan��s goal was precisely to challenge the five great holy lands!


    Weren��t you guys not apologizing?


    Fine!


    Then I��ll slap until your entire holy land lose all reputation!


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin and Zhao Zixuan and company were clearly together. They were working in cahoots. There was nowhere for Ye Yuan to reason it out even if he wanted to.


    Therefore, he might as well not reason things out!


    Since you were unreasonable, then I��ll be unreasonable too!


    I��ll beat you until you yield!


    The so-called challenging mountain was Ye Yuan challenging all of Cloud Summer Mountain��s powerhouses all the way from the foot of the mountain up.


    As long as there was anyone who was not convinced, they could come forward and fight!


    This sort of action required extremely powerful strength, as well as immensely strong courage.


    Who in the present world dared to say that they could definitely win these few ancestor-level powerhouses?


    Ye Yuan doing so was betting his own reputation and the Priest Temple��s reputation.


    At the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time, alchemy powerhouses were plentiful like clouds.


    One could say that it gathered the entire Heavenspan World��s alchemy powerhouses!


    Once Ye Yuan failed, not only would he become the alchemy world��s laughingstock, even the entire Sacrificial Temple would become the alchemy world��s laughingstock.


    After all, Ye Yuan was not some low-level minor character.


    He was the Priest Temple��s Second Sage!


    Of course, if Ye Yuan won, then Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s lineage would become the entire alchemy world��s laughing stock.


    One person sweeping across an entire holy land, there was no way it would not be humiliating!


    ��Sacrificial Temple��s Ye Yuan requests to challenge Cloud Summer Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice sounded out once more.


    The entire Cloudheart City exploded!


    Before coming, everyone had heard of the title of Second Sage resoundingly like the roar of thunder.


    But no one could have thought that Second Sage was actually so tough!


    Challenging the mountain at a word of disagreement!


    Zhu Tianxiang smiled coldly and said, ��This guy is crazy, right? Who does he think he is? Apart from those few in this world, who dares to say that they can definitely win Master? Having the title of Second Sage, does he really think that he is an ancestor-level powerhouse?��


    Zhao Zixuan laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� it��s really making me die of laughter! Just now, I was really intimidated by this guy. After messing around for so long, this guy is just a kid who hasn��t grown up, acting out of spite here? At this time, that one on Feather Mountain is likely currently stamping with rage, right?��


    After Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin was shocked, he also laughed in spite of himself and said, ��I underestimated this one��s temper, to actually do such an action that seeks death. With this, the mess can��t be cleaned up anymore even if we want to.��


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference had not officially started yet and the atmosphere was already pushed to the climax by Ye Yuan.


    His action thoroughly ignited the quiet Myriad Region Alchemy Conference all at once.


    Regardless of whether it was those giants or small fries, currently, everyone��s gazes were all focused on Cloud Summer Mountain.


    The crowd rushed out of the city like a tide, heading towards Cloud Summer Mountain.


    How could one miss such a grand occasion?


    ��Priest Temple��s Ye Yuan requests to challenge Cloud Summer Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice sounded out for the third time, the entire Cloud Summer Mountain could hear it clearly.


    At the top of Cloud Summer Mountain, inside the great hall, Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s brows were tightly locked.


    In front of him, his disciples were all extremely enraged.


    ��Master, this punk really takes himself to be some bigshot, to actually dare provoke a great holy land!��


    ��Master, I can go and get rid of him by myself!��


    �� ��


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove frowned and said, ��This emperor didn��t provoke the Priest Temple. Why did this boy do such an astonishing action?��


    Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��Where��s Tianxiang?��


    The moment the group of disciples looked, Zhu Tianxiang was indeed not around.


    They understood this Youngest Apprentice Brother very well. With his temperament, he should have long appeared.


    ��Master, Youngest Apprentice Brother and Zhao Zixuan they all went to Cloudheart City,�� Eldest Senior Brother Yun Windborne said.


    Everyone��s faces changed, immediately guessing what was going on.


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove snorted coldly and said, ��This scoundrelly punk, too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! The Priest Temple, this old man doesn��t dare to provoke either, but he��s actually being the bird who takes the lead!��


    Yun Windborne��s expression was complicated as he said, ��Master, then should �� we meet the challenge or not?��


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove snorted coldly and said, ��Of course we accept the challenge! He already came to the doorstep, could it be that we can still be cowardly turtles? This way, wouldn��t we become the laughingstock of the world, saying that we don��t even dare to deal with a little brat? Zhiling, you bring the junior apprentice brothers to go and guard the pass. Heh, young and aggressive, this emperor is also very curious about this Second Sage. Today, I want to see whether or not he��s really as formidable as the stories I heard!��

 Chapter 2298 - Sweeping Away!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Hahaha �� This boy repeatedly does alarming things. Blocking the door and face-slapping, truly overbearing!��


    Inside Feather Mountain��s great hall, Sacred Ancestor High Priest burst into laughter.


    Ye Yuan��s action caused such a great commotion. Sacred Ancestor High Priest would know even if he did not want to.


    ��Master, with Second Sage messing around like this, if he loses, what he loses will be our face!�� Eldest Disciple said.


    ��Yeah, Master! Take the chance that challenging the mountain hasn��t begun yet. You should make a move and stop this absurd move! Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove has already been famous for a long time. He��s absolutely not an existence that Second Sage can shake!�� Third Disciple said.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest swept across the faces of his disciples and said with a big smile, ��Why do I have to stop it? Such an exciting great show, how boring would it be to stop it? Face? How much is face worth? The few of you have been in a high position for too long, and you have long already forgotten your initial intention! Face isn��t what others give to you, but you vying for it yourself! The reason why you all have face is because Master��s strength is powerful enough! Master doesn��t have face, it��s because Master��s strength isn��t as powerful as Medicine Ancestor��s, nothing more!��


    The group of disciples trembled all over, all revealing expressions of shame.


    Ji Mo was silent for a moment, and then he spoke up, ��Master, if Lord Second Sage is defeated, what should we do?��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest said indifferently, ��Lose then lose, what��s the big deal? Some people, if they lose, then they are really defeated. While others will become braver in the face of setbacks! Which type do you think this boy is?��


    Ji Mo said without thinking, ��Lord Second Sage��s temperament is extremely steadfast and persevering. So he��s the latter!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest nodded and said, ��Therefore, he won��t lose. Regardless of getting a win or a loss, the victor will be him!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s words were somewhat awkward-sounding, but the meaning was very clear.


    If he won, Ye Yuan��s name would become renowned throughout the Heavenspan World, and he would rise to the rank of ancestors from there.


    If he lost, Ye Yuan would definitely reflect on the bitter lesson and learn his lesson from the failure.


    No matter what, Ye Yuan was already in a position that could not be defeated!


    Ji Mo was shocked, suddenly feeling that Ye Yuan��s operation was full marks.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��This boy is clear about what he��s doing! This boy isn��t somebody who causes trouble for no reason. You go and investigate the reason why he suddenly wants to challenge Cloud Summer Mountain.��


    ��Yes, Master!�� Ji Mo received the order and left.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind him, climbed up the steps, neither hurriedly nor slowly.


    The commotion stirred so much. It was impossible for Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove to not receive the move.


    After all, ancestors have the pride of ancestors.


    A large group of people followed behind Ye Yuan, they were all here to watch the show.


    The commotion was too big. They had to pay attention to it even if they did not want to.


    ��Heh, how far do you guys think Second Sage can challenge until?��


    ��His strength is really very strong. But Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s disciples�� strengths are similarly not weak! I reckon that he should be able to meet their eldest senior brother, Yun Windborne!��


    ��Heh, Yun Windborne is a grand completion Ancestor Realm level powerhouse, aren��t you overestimating him too much? In my view, he can meet their third senior brother, Tong Qiwei.��


    �� ��


    With the battle against Zhao Zixuan earlier, Ye Yuan already proved his own strength. Right now, there was already no one who felt that Ye Yuan this Second Sage enjoyed undeserved fame.


    However, he was actually going to challenge ancestor-level powerhouses right now. It was still overestimating his own ability a little too much.


    One had to know, ancestor-level powerhouses, their disciples�� strength already reached the peak of the Heavenspan World��s Alchemy Dao too!


    Only in front of the ancestors would they be a notch lower.


    In front of others, those were all heaven-shocking big shots.


    This kind of powerhouse was not what anybody could provoke.


    Very soon, a youth in green robes walked over from on top of the mountain. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with disdain.


    ��It��s you who��s challenging the mountain?��


    ��Yes.��


    ��Do you know what place this is?��


    ��I know.��


    ��You know and you still dare to come?��


    ��I��m here to slap faces!��


    ��Ha, what high-sounding sentiments! This emperor is Ancestor Maplegrove��s eighth disciple, Gu Yulong. I��ll size up Second Sage��s strength!��


    ��You��re too weak. It��s better to let Ancestor Maplegrove himself come out.��


    Gu Yulong had a disdainful look and said with a cold smile, ��I hope that your strength is as great as your tone! Since you came to challenge the mountain, pass me first before talking!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said coolly, ��Okay! Mu Tiesheng!��


    ��Oh, this lowly one is here!��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s summons, Mu Tiesheng ran out subserviently, a flattering look on his face.


    He was a late-stage Heavenly Emperor super powerhouse too. Currently, in front of Ye Yuan, he was like a little lackey.


    In the crowd, Fang Tianren was already crazy with envy.


    He hated it!


    Why did he have to posture in front of Ye Yuan? Why did he step on Ye Yuan?


    Originally, he was still very happy to have earned several billion.


    But now, when he saw Mu Tiesheng, that bit of profit suddenly became dull and tasteless.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan actually went to find Mu Tiesheng again!


    Several days later, Mu Tiesheng held the vast spirit divine pill in his hand gleefully, smiling like an idiot.


    While Gu Yulong was sitting at one side dejectedly, battered out of his senses.


    He lost too miserably!


    The medicinal pill was chosen by him, it was much harder than even Zhu Tianxiang��s.


    Gu Yulong already performed very well, but he was still completely wrecked by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan continued advancing. Before long, another person came down the mountain.


    The opponent this time was Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s sixth disciple.


    The result was still a miserable defeat.


    The few disciples at the back, Ye Yuan swept all the way.


    No matter what medicinal pill the other party picked, Ye Yuan would firmly suppress the other party.


    The current Ye Yuan was like an unrivaled expert, no matter how formidable your means were, I would stand firm and not budge an inch.


    His might was like a tall mountain, being insurmountable.


    Finally, Ye Yuan encountered the third disciple, Tong Qiwei.


    The reason why many people predicted that Ye Yuan would stop at Tong Qiwei was because starting from him, the disciples at the back were all late-stage Ancestor Realm powerhouses.


    Late-stage Ancestor Realm powerhouses represented the apex of Alchemy Dao.


    As long as ancestors did not come into being, this level of powerhouse was the strongest existence in the world!


    When Tong Qiwei saw Ye Yuan, he said coolly, ��To be able to walk until here, you��re indeed very strong already! Second Sage indeed lives up to your reputation. It��s just that it ends here.��


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look as he said, ��You��re a junior, you choose the medicinal pill.��


    Tong Qiwei��s face changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Reckless and blind! Since you��re looking for abuse, then this emperor will grant you your wish! I choose the Supreme God-refining Pill!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Begin then.��


    Tong Qiwei frowned and said, ��Since it��s an alchemy battle, it naturally starts at the same time.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I refine pills with Formation Dao. If I start, you don��t need to refine anymore. That way, you��ll lose even more face.��


    Tong Qiwei was shocked and angry as he said, ��Formation Dao Pill Refinement! You��re refining the Supreme God-refining Pill with Formation Dao?��


    At this time, Gu Yulong smiled bitterly and said, ��Third Senior Brother, he has been doing Formation Dao Pill Refinement all the way!��


    Tong Qiwei��s entire body trembled, finally starting to look at Ye Yuan squarely.


    He nodded his head and said, ��Fine, I��ll refine first! Today, I��ll witness your Formation Dao Pill Refinement!��


    Several days later, Tong Qiwei looked at that end spirit divine pill and was speechless for a long time. He did not even realise that Ye Yuan walked past him.


    Mu Tiesheng was agitated until his heart was about to jump out. He put away the Supreme God-refining Pill happily.

 Chapter 2299 - Seething Cloud Summer Mountain!

    ��How can this Second Sage be so strong?��


    ��Against a late-stage Ancestor Realm expert, he was actually crushed by Second Sage until he��s black and blue all over! Second Sage is so young, and yet he actually already reached the peak late-stage Ancestor Realm?��


    ��The highlight of the show is at the back! Eldest Senior Brother Yun Windborne is a grand completion Ancestor Realm powerhouse, a truly apex existence! Winning against him, even if Second Sage loses, no one will dare to say anything either!��


    �� ��


    Leaving behind the Second Senior Brother with a defeated look, Ye Yuan advanced once again.


    This time, who he was facing was a true apex existence, Yun Windborne!


    Grand completion Ancestor Realm, this was the limit that ordinary alchemists could reach already.


    If there was no heaven-defying lucky chance, comprehending Dao pills was virtually something impossible.


    The various major ancestors�� chief disciples had already followed their ancestors to cultivate for God knows how many years. Most of them stopped at this realm and did not advance.


    A powerhouse such as Sacred Ancestor High Priest, his first three disciples were all grand completion Ancestor Realm!


    But there was not even one person among them who had comprehended Dao pill.


    The human race��s powerhouses were numerous. The state of Alchemy Dao was flourishing. There were still some grand completion Ancestor Realm alchemists.


    But among these people, those who could take this final step were scanty few.


    If not for Medicine Ancestor issuing this call this time, these few ancestors would not come into being at all.


    The alchemy powerhouses who followed up were inexplicably excited.


    This kind of pinnacle showdown, how could one see it normally?


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time was originally hosted for disciples of the younger generation.


    Everyone also completely did not expect the peak showdown of grand completion Ancestor Realms!


    Yun Windborne looked at Ye Yuan and said with a calm demeanor, ��Able to walk until this point at a young age, you truly set the world ablaze. This Yun admires endlessly!��


    The current Yun Windborne was not whatever Ancestor Maplegrove��s disciple, but a grandmaster of the generation!


    Ye Yuan was very strong, and he saw it.


    But he would not shake his own faith because of Ye Yuan��s might.


    Reaching this level of realm, he had long already cultivated extremely strong confidence. No one could shake it in the slightest.


    With the ancestors not coming out, he was the summit of the top!


    As for Ye Yuan comprehending Dao pill, he did not think about it at all.


    Because that was something impossible.


    Thinking back then, how amazingly talented was he too?


    Even if he could not compare to the present Ye Yuan, he also would not be too lacking.


    But countless tens of thousands of years had passed, he was still unable to take that step.


    Ye Yuan was indeed outstandingly talented, but he would be stuck at this step in the next 100 thousand, one million, ten million, even a trillion years!


    ��Same old rules. You��re a generation younger. So you pick the medicinal pill,�� Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly.


    The rest all had strange looks. Ye Yuan was young in age but behaved like an elder. It was really incongruous.


    But these words were also true in all senses. Nobody could find any fault either.


    Yun Windborne��s self-restraint was much better than his junior apprentice brothers.


    He did not get angry, but he said with a faint smile, ��It ends here then. Being able to walk in front of this emperor is already sufficient to prove your title of Second Sage. Withdraw now and this emperor can take it as if nothing happened. If not, this defeat will affect your Dao heart!��


    ��Tsk tsk, a master is a master, this tolerance �� is really extraordinary!��


    ��Yun Windborne��s strength isn��t at all inferior compared to the Priest Temple��s High Priest Mao Yuan too!��


    ��He��s already standing at the top of the alchemy path. If the ancestors don��t come out, who can challenge! If Second Sage is sensible, he should withdraw.��


    �� ��


    Yun Windborne��s action immediately drew many praises.


    This was the bearing of an expert!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and could not help laughing as he said, ��You all are indeed old fellows who have lived for trillions of years. But on the path of alchemy, those who reached first can teach! You all are not viewing this Ye as Second Sage, that��s fine! Then �� I��ll fight until you all are convinced!��


    From Zhu Tianxiang to Yun Windborne, including many people present, they all felt that he was relying on Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s awe-inspiring reputation to obtain the title of Second Sage.


    Hence, that was why they dared to go from bad to worse, digging a pit for Heavenly Emperor Justbright to jump, then even acted in collusion.


    Since that was the case, I��ll fight until you are convinced!


    He did not explain anything, because words were feeble.


    If he said that he knew how to refine Dao pills, nobody would believe it at all.


    Since that was the case, then he would face the ancestors and have a dialogue with ancestor-level powerhouses!


    Yun Windborne was clearly indifferent as he said with a smile, ��Since that��s the case, fine then. The medicinal pill will be chosen by Second Sage.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and insisted, ��You are a junior. So you choose it! Otherwise, this Ye will win unscrupulously.��


    Everyone had strange looks on their faces.


    Yun Windborne shook his head and laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Fine, this Yun will choose the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill then.��


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath, this South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill was the most difficult existence among rank eight divine pills.


    Yun Windborne��s strength already reached until here?


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and nodded his head slightly and said, ��Okay, Mu Tiesheng!��


    Mu Tiesheng��s entire person was in a daze, he did not know how he walked over.


    Coming all this way, his entire person already floated up to the sky!


    The difficulty of the medicinal pills got higher and higher, but the quality got higher and higher!


    Today, a pie really fell from the sky!


    Right now, he was endlessly grateful toward Fang Tianren��s 18 generations of ancestors in his heart.


    If not for this guy wanting to step on Ye Yuan to move up, he also would not have picked up such a huge bargain!


    Spending ten billion superior-grade divine essence stones, he bought a set of spirit medicines from Yun Windborne there.


    ��Begin then,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yun Windborne did not argue either, smiling slightly, and started refining the pill.


    The moment he made his move, the wind and clouds immediately surged!


    An aura of Dao suddenly descended upon Cloud Summer Mountain.


    For some time, on Cloud Summer Mountain, fate arose and extinguished, flowers bloomed and faded!


    It was like a world was slowly forming inside the medicinal cauldron.


    Compared to Yun Windborne��s pill refinement, his junior apprentice brothers did not even count as a fart.


    Many people have witnessed the pill refinements of Zhu Tianxiang and the rest. At that time, it already took their breath away in astonishment, being immensely shocked.


    But only now did they know how insignificant they were, and how ignorant!


    It turned out that Alchemy Dao can reach such a level!


    Forget about Zhu Tianxiang; even Ancestor Maplegrove��s second disciple paled in comparison in front of Yun Windborne too!


    Yun Windborne��s might was the strength accumulated over the years. It was an unrivaled strength.


    With the ancestors not coming out, no one could reach such a height at all.


    Many people all cast sympathetic gazes toward Ye Yuan. This time, Second Sage finally kicked a metal plate!


    Even if Ye Yuan��s realm also reached grand completion Ancestor Realm, it was impossible to surpass Yun Windborne too.


    This kind of strength that was tempered endlessly, was simply unmatched.


    Unless one reached the legendary Dao pill level, otherwise, it was simply impossible to win.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered, his eyes staring at Yun Windborne without blinking.


    Indeed, compared to his junior apprentice brothers, this Yun Windborne was much stronger.


    From Yun Windborne��s refinement, Ye Yuan learned many things.


    He would never overlook his opponents because they were weak. If there was good stuff, he would learn without the slightest hesitation.


    Just like this, time passed quietly.


    Several days later, the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill formed!


    Yun Windborne��s face still had a faint smile, opening the furnace calmly.


    For a moment, Cloud Summer Mountain seethed with excitement!

 Chapter 2300 - Spiritlink Divine Pill, Appear!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��End spirit divine pill! End spirit South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill! My God ����


    ��Looking at this quality, it should have reached peak end spirit, right?��


    ��Truly well-deserving of being Yun Windborne! The South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill is the taboo of Eight-star Alchemy Gods, he can actually reach peak end spirit, it simply reached the acme of perfection already!��


    �� ��


    South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill, that was a legendary medicinal pill.


    Being able to refine the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill was a form of honor in itself.


    But Yun Windborne��s strength could actually refine it to the limits of peak end spirit.


    Having this level of skill, one could virtually roam the Heavenspan World unhindered already.


    The major powers that came to the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference, apart from ancestors, they really could not find anyone stronger than him anymore.


    At the very most, it was also just being equally matched in strength with him.


    People could not help casting sympathetic looks toward Ye Yuan. Yun Windborne already gave him a way out earlier, but he refused to back down no matter what, insisting on looking for abuse.


    Yun Windborne looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, ��Second Sage, this Yun asked you to leave earlier; it��s to respect that your talent is outstanding, and I couldn��t bear to deal a blow to your Dao heart. But, you insisted on forcing this Yun to take action, so why bother?��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help finding it funny.


    This Yun Windborne felt that he won for sure?


    Of course, it was not just him. Among everyone present, no one felt that Ye Yuan still had a chance to win.


    ��Deal a blow to my Dao heart? Just based on you, you��re not qualified enough yet! Don��t you forget, there��s still spiritlink above end spirit!�� Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said.


    ��Spiritlink? Huhu, not that this Yun is looking down on South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill, it��s really that this step is too difficult! The alchemy powerhouses in the same generation as this Yun are at most evenly-matched in strength with this Yun too. Even for the eldest disciple under Sacred Ancestor High Priest, High Priest Shu Yan, it��s also impossible for him to refine the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill to the realm of spiritlink,�� Yun Windborne said with an indifferent smile.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was merely on his deathbed struggle, gilding gold onto his own face.


    Spiritlink divine pills, it was not like he could not refine them.


    But he could not refine it for the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill.


    Refining the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill to the realm of spiritlink, it would not be successful unless ancestors take action!


    But could Ye Yuan reach the strength of ancestors?


    Obviously not!


    ��Huhu, spiritlink South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill, really never heard of it!��


    ��The talent is there, having an exaggerated opinion of his own abilities is also there.��


    ��Perhaps this is a true powerhouse. Spiritlink divine pills are merely trash in his eyes.


    �� ��


    The words were not nice.


    Everyone worshiped the strong. Yun Windborne refining the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill already became an insurmountable peak.


    Hence, with Ye Yuan talking about spiritlink divine pill, that was blaspheming the peaks in their hearts.


    Could peaks be scaled as and when you liked?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I already said, you��re just a junior. Don��t be conceited and guess the strength of our generation. You��re not qualified enough yet.��


    Everyone��s faces revealed a strange look. Ye Yuan��s demeanor that he was behaving like a senior was really embarrassing!


    Did this guy really take himself to be an ancestor?


    Yun Windborne smiled and said, ��Is that so? Then Second Sage, please condescend to teach.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and pointed repeatedly at the void. A mysterious and profound array formation gradually formed under his fingertips.


    The array formation was very profound.


    Yun Windborne was a titan of Alchemy Dao, but he did not quite understand array formations.


    He only felt that the array formation was very complicated, very profound. But whether or not this array formation could refine medicinal pills, he did not know.


    Most likely, it could not refine any pill.


    Refining a medicinal pill like the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill with Formation Dao was simply a joke.


    Without the enhancement of medicinal cauldron, without exquisite to the pinnacle fire controlling arts, just based on a grand array, you want to refine a divine pill that surpassed peak end spirit?


    Nothing more than wishful thinking!


    The people present all basically had this opinion.


    Not that they were looking down on Ye Yuan. On the contrary, Ye Yuan��s talent truly astounded them.


    It was just that the opponent was too strong!


    In front of an apex existence like Yun Windborne, Ye Yuan��s talent was not worth mentioning.


    No matter how high the talent, there had to be a limit.


    And this limit was stopped in front of Yun Windborne, this insurmountable mountain.


    No reason other than just because Yun Windborne represented the peak of Alchemy Dao.


    This time, the array formation that Ye Yuan set up was more complicated than any one time.


    Toward Yun Windborne this opponent, Ye Yuan could not find any problem.


    He was indeed powerful!


    Through the refinement just now, Ye Yuan even learned many things from him.


    It was just a pity that the opponent he ran into was him.


    He, Ye Yuan, was not a powerhouse pretending to be ancestor level. He was a genuine ancestor level powerhouse!


    This array formation, Ye Yuan set it up for the greater part of a day.


    Spiritlink divine pills represented the apex of Alchemy Dao.


    So-called spiritlink, actually already touched the source of Great Dao.


    Spiritlink divine pills were only a hair��s breadth away from Dao pills.


    But this hair��s breadth was as far as the horizon!


    There was an incomparably tough yet thin film. You could see through, but you could not touch it.


    Yun Windborne, this level of powerhouse, was forever blocked outside the door of Dao pill by this thin film.


    Unable to refine Dao pills, they could forever only be disciples.


    No matter how strong, they were also just mortal-level strong.


    Ye Yuan did not experience late-stage and grand completion Ancestor Realm, these two realms, but he directly reached the source of Alchemy Dao.


    But when he turned his head back to look again, the originally incomparably complicated medicinal pills were also merely thus in front of him.


    South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill, was a taboo-like existence in other people��s eyes.


    But in front of him, it was merely like this.


    He could make use of Formation Dao to analyze the medicinal pill bit by bit, then finish refining through Formation Dao according to the prescribed routine.


    When he sent the spirit medicines into the array formation, the grand array suddenly released a dazzling light.


    A power of Great Dao even stronger than when Yun Windborne refined suddenly descended, pouring into the array formation.


    Everyone��s faces all changed at this instant.


    ��This �� Such a powerful aura of Dao! Could it be that he can really refine a spiritlink South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill? This is impossible!��


    Yun Windborne��s expression finally changed drastically. The original indifference was long already replaced by shock.


    Even though he had ten thousand disbeliefs that Ye Yuan could succeed in refining, logic told him that Ye Yuan really succeeded!


    Reading his level of realm, how could he not understand what this terrifying aura of Dao meant?


    Very soon, the array formation dissipated, the medicinal pill condensed.


    A wave of aura that made people alarmed instantly spread out.


    ��Oppressive spiritual energy, I seem to have seen a living thing! Is �� this a spiritlink divine pill?��


    ��I seem to have seen the Great Dao of heaven and earth!��


    ��He really succeeded in refining! Just where do his limits lie?��


    �� ��


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    Among them, the vast majority were seeing a spiritlink divine pill for the first time.


    This level of medicinal pill only circulated in the hands of top powerhouses.


    Even Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses might not have seen them before too.


    Many people looked toward that medicinal pill. Their eyes were red!


    Envy!


    The medicinal effect of a spiritlink divine pill was simply unimaginable.


    ��Mu Tiesheng, what are you still in a daze for?�� Ye Yuan saw that Mu Tiesheng was still in a trance. So he reminded Mu Tiesheng.


    Mu Tiesheng��s entire body trembled, suddenly feeling one murderous gaze after another landing on his body.

 Chapter 2301 - Vile Spawn, Why Haven’t You Hurry Up and Scram Back!

    A Spiritlink divine pill coming into being was no less than a precious treasure coming into being.


    Furthermore, the effect of the South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill was used for cultivation.


    Consuming a spiritlink South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill could practically make Heavenly Emperor powerhouses directly improve by a minor realm!


    For Heavenly Emperor Realm, cultivation was done in units of million years.


    Heavenly Emperors with slightly poor aptitudes might not be able to break through a minor realm in ten million years.


    What raising a minor realm meant could be imagined!


    Hence, the eyes of many powerhouses present were already red.


    This medicinal pill naturally would not have any problem being held by Yun Windborne. He himself was a Deva Realm super powerhouse.


    There also would not be any problem if it was in Ye Yuan��s possession.


    With Ye Yuan��s status, at least in this Cloudheart Realm, no one would dare to take action.


    But placed in Mu Tiesheng��s hands, that was like a three-year-old kid holding a pile of gold bricks and passing through a busy city.


    It was true that he was strong, but the experts here were too many!


    ��S-Second Sage, this medicinal pill �� you��d better keep it for yourself. This Mu doesn��t have this fortune,�� Mu Tiesheng said with a bitter smile.


    To say such words, he endured great temptation too.


    Actually, if he held this medicinal pill, he naturally would not sell it. He would take it himself.


    But he knew that he could not bring this medicinal pill out.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Put it away. In a while, you follow me down the mountain.��


    Mu Tiesheng��s entire body trembled and he said with wild elation, ��Many thanks, Second Sage! Many thanks, Second Sage!��


    The others revealed hints of dread, the blood-red color in their eyes fading significantly.


    The commotion here must have already startled Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Making a move against Second Sage now, they would be smacked to death with one slap.


    They naturally would not do this sort of stupid thing.


    It was just that, what a shame.


    ��Puhwark!��


    In the crowd, when Fang Tianren saw Mu Tiesheng put away the spiritlink South Battle Ancient Spirit Pill, he could not resist spurting out a mouthful of blood, and directly fainting away.


    Ye Yuan used action to tell him what was called losing the watermelon to pick up a sesame!


    Weren��t you cocky?


    Weren��t you arrogant?


    Didn��t you say that Second Sage was nothing?


    Fine then, anger you to death!


    Looking at the unconscious Fang Tianren, everyone cast pitiful gazes toward him.


    While at this time, Yun Windborne was still in shock and had not recovered to his senses for a long time.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I can go past now, right?��


    Yun Windborne��s entire body trembled and he said involuntarily, ��How �� did you do it? Without a trace of source undulation, you actually refined a spiritlink divine pill!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��I already said earlier; you��re a junior. It��s just that you didn��t take it to heart.��


    Finished saying that, Ye Yuan walked around Yun Windborne and continued walking up the mountain.


    Mu Tiesheng had a vigilant look, following after like a cat.


    Yun Windborne was battered out of his senses as he muttered under his breath, ��I was actually defeated at the hands of a little brat. Then what do my efforts all these years count for?��


    ��Laughable! Truly ridiculous! I even thought that I was standing at the summit below Dao pill. I didn��t expect that I actually couldn��t even beat a child!��


    ��Hahaha �� what pinnacle Alchemy Dao! What grand completion Ancestor Realm! I, Yun Windborne, am merely a loser!��


    All of a sudden, Yun Windborne seemed to have gone crazy, his entire person in a state of madness.


    Everyone��s gaze looked toward him one after another and could not help feeling shocked.


    Yun Windborne previously said that Ye Yuan��s Dao heart would fall. He did not expect that it was his Dao heart that would actually crumble!


    But they could also understand Yun Windborne��s feelings.


    A super powerhouse standing at the top actually lost to a child who just made his world debut.


    This kind of psychological depression was really not what the average person could bear.


    As the saying went, the higher one stood, the harder one fell, it was this logic.


    A powerhouse like Yun Windborne, his psychological development was accumulated bit by bit over a trillion years.


    Their hearts were extremely strong and could be said to be infallible.


    However, they had been in a high position for too long!


    In Yun Windborne��s heart, those that could compete with him were only those ancestors�� number one disciples.


    The others were long already not in their sights.


    Losing to those people did not have much of an impact on him.


    While the rest were not his match at all too.


    But who could have thought that a trillion years later, a roughly 2000 years old young man came roaring into existence, and carried out a domineering devastation against him with unparalleled talent?


    Although everyone called him Second Sage, even though he beat his junior apprentice brothers, he still had strong confidence in himself.


    After all, he was already standing at the summit of the alchemy peak.


    But he was defeated!


    Utterly and thoroughly defeated!


    His Dao heart was like a crack had fissured apart on an embankment, fissuring wider and wider.


    Finally, his Dao heart was lost!


    ��Windborne, bring your junior apprentice brothers to the great hall. The others, withdraw.��


    Suddenly, an incomparably illusory voice suddenly landed.


    Everyone was shocked inwardly, Ancestor Maplegrove gave instructions at this time!


    ��Withdrawing just like this? Ancestor Maplegrove is actually not letting us watch anymore!��


    ��What a shame! Truly a pity! How many years has it been since anyone dared to challenge ancestor-level powerhouses?��


    ��This level of pinnacle showdown, it makes people excited to even think about it!��


    �� ��


    Everyone��s faces revealed extremely regretful expressions.


    This level of pinnacle showdown might be hard to come across even in 100 thousand years or a million years.


    This time, there was finally a chance to see it, but Ancestor Maplegrove actually did not allow people to watch the fight anymore.


    Yun Windborne��s entire body trembled, bringing his junior apprentice brothers up the mountain in a daze.


    �� ��


    At this time, Zhao Zixuan five people were still in the city. Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin was being the host and currently inviting them to a meal.


    ��Huhu, that punk really overestimates his own ability! Who does he think he is, to actually dare provoke Ancestor Maplegrove!�� Zhao Zixuan said disdainfully.


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin said, ��Got to say, Second Sage��s strength is really very strong! It��s just that, provoking ancestor-level powerhouses, he��s still too young! Counting the time, he should have already lost, right?��


    Zhu Tianxiang said, ��Mn, with my guess, Second Senior Brother probably can��t stop him too. Right now, his alchemy battle with Eldest Senior Brother should have already ended.��


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin smiled and said, ��The scout should already be on the way back. He��ll be here soon.��


    But at this time, a thunderous voice suddenly exploded in Zhu Tianxiang��s ears, making him jump in fright.


    ��Vile spawn, scram back for Master!��


    Zhu Tianxiang��s expression changed wildly. The wine that reached his mouth splashed all over him.


    He did not speak, taking a step out, directly going out of Cloudheart City.


    The others exchanged glances, not knowing what it could mean.


    The voice at Zhu Tianxiang here was very loud, but the others could not hear it.


    A person asked, ��What��s wrong with Brother Zhu, he left without even saying anything?��


    Suddenly, his expression changed drastically too, figure flashing, disappearing on the spot.


    Then, there was the third, the fourth!


    Zhao Zixuan��s expression changed wildly and he said with a frown, ��What in the world is going on? These guys didn��t even say anything ����


    ��Vile spawn, look what you��ve done! Why haven��t you hurry up and get back to Master?! Immediately! At once!��


    Right then, a voice similarly exploded in his ears. His expression changed, disappearing from where he was.


    Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin and Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather exchanged glances, not understanding what was going on.

 Chapter 2302 - Dialogue with Ancestor

    Above the great all, an old man whose hair and beard were all white slowly walked down from a high position. He then arrived before Ye Yuan.


    He made an inviting gesture and said, ��Second Sage, please sit.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and sat down with Ye Yuan as guest and host.


    The disciples were dumbstruck with astonishment by the old man��s action!


    How exalted was their master��s status? Apart from those few old monsters, who could afford to have his elderly self welcome so respectfully.


    ��Second Sage has already gained enlightenment on Dao?�� Ancestor Maplegrove said calmly.


    The tone seemed to be probing, but actually, he had long already ascertained it in his heart.


    Otherwise, with his status, how could he possibly specially come down and sit down with Ye Yuan as equals?


    ��I have some enlightenment. Is Ancestor Maplegrove going to teach a thing or two?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��No need. Reaching our level of existence, it��s best to not easily take action. Firstly, spirit medicines are hard to come by. Secondly, our status is like this.�� Ancestor Maplegrove directly refused.


    ��If Ancestor is like this, it makes it very hard for this Ye,�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    ��Huhu, this old man knows that Second Sage has other motives. It��s just that exchanging moves with that person isn��t a wise action. This point, you should understand,�� Ancestor Maplegrove said with a solemn look.


    ��This Ye understands, however �� this Ye has nothing to fear.�� Ye Yuan said with a nod.


    Ancestor Maplegrove shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Indeed, the newborn calf isn��t afraid of tigers! Except, it probably won��t work with this old man here. Not just this old man here; it probably also won��t work with those other few people there.��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Then it��s truly a pity!��


    These two people��s conversation felt like it was inside cloud and fog, but the disciples all understood.


    The amount of information was too great!


    Firstly, Ye Yuan already reached the level of Dao pill!


    Secondly, Ye Yuan was going to challenge Medicine Ancestor!


    Thirdly, Master was not willing to fight with Ye Yuan!


    No matter which one, it was all information that was like a thunderbolt out of clear sky.


    Ancestor Maplegrove was not willing to fight with Ye Yuan because no matter win or lose, it would not benefit him at all.


    Moreover, an old monster like him had long already seen things as clearly as viewing a blazing fire, how could he be easily exploited by people?


    Previously, it was because he did not know Ye Yuan��s strength. Now, since he already knew, he was naturally not willing to be the one to take the lead.


    Lowering his head to Ye Yuan now could be said to be looking on the account of Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s face.


    But once they exchanged blows, winning was ought to be. Furthermore, it could prove that Ye Yuan already reached the realm of Dao pill, helping him achieve his aim.


    Losing �� that would really be a crushing defeat.


    Yun Windborne and the rest had long already fallen into endless shock and were unable to extricate themselves for a long time.


    Gaining enlightenment on Dao!


    What Dao was gained through enlightenment?


    The few of them were not fools, how could they not guess?


    Ye Yuan already gained enlightenment on Alchemy Dao source and reached the level of Dao pill. He was the same level of powerhouse as their master already!


    But how was this possible?


    This fellow who was the same as a child in their eyes actually already stood at the true summit, reaching the realm of ancestor!


    This sort of thing, they were not willing to believe. They did not believe it at all.


    Especially Yun Windborne, he had already stood at this intersection for god knows how many years already, and was still at a loss on the direction to take.


    Only a powerhouse like him could truly understand how difficult it was to take this step.


    In the past, he took his time, quietly waiting for the arrival of that day.


    But today, the situation changed drastically!


    A latecomer who came no idea how many years later than he did, yet the person actually ran in front of him and sat down with his master to debate on Dao.


    This blow was simply incomparable.


    Ye Yuan defeating Zhu Tianxiang, they could understand. After all, he was Second Sage.


    Ye Yuan defeating Gu Yulong, they could also understand. After all, he was Second Sage.


    Even Ye Yuan defeating Yun Windborne, they could still understand. After all, he was Second Sage!


    But how did he take this step?


    Dao pill!


    That was the realm that all alchemists sought from high to low, but could not attain.


    The realm that no matter how hard they worked, no matter how they struggled, they could not reach.


    This ridiculously young child achieved it!


    Right at this time, someone suddenly burst into the hall.


    ��What happened, Master? W-Why are you here?��


    Zhu Tianxiang hurriedly ran in to take a look and suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was sitting opposite of his own master, conversing happily. This shock was by no means insignificant.


    Ye Yuan coming up, shouldn��t he have long been finished off by his senior apprentice brothers?


    How �� did he start chatting with his master?


    Looking over at his senior apprentice brothers there, each and every one was battered out of their senses, grief-stricken as if bereaved of their parents.


    That appearance was like they were stricken dumb with amazement by something.


    Just as Zhu Tianxiang was filled with doubts, he heard Ancestor Maplegrove say in a cold voice, ��Vile spawn, look what you��ve done! Why haven��t you come over to kneel and apologize to Second Sage!��


    Zhu Tianxiang shuddered all over, a look of disbelief as he said, ��Master, you��re making me kneel down and apologize to this punk? I-Isn��t this bringing down your elderly self��s prestige?��


    Zhu Tianxiang��s talent was extremely high, Ancestor Maplegrove normally doted on him a lot.


    Many rules, he would open one eye and close the other.


    It was really rare to be as stern as today.


    Ancestor Maplegrove��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Why? Master��s words aren��t useful anymore? Or is it that you already feel that you can graduate?��


    Zhu Tianxiang��s expression changed wildly, only then knowing that Master was not joking. He was being serious.


    Hearing the meaning of his words, if he did not kneel down and apologize, he would likely be expelled.


    Thud!


    Zhu Tianxiang knelt down in front of Ye Yuan with a look of unwillingness.


    ��Master, I��m unconvinced! He �� Based on what?�� Zhu Tianxiang was still unwilling as he said.


    ��Insolence! Second Sage is an existence in the same generation as Master. You��re a junior in front of him! Is this kneel wrong? Moreover, you fool! Being made use of by people and don��t know it, and even want to lead the fire onto Master��s head. With this, the entire Cloud Summer Mountain became a joke. Are you satisfied?�� Ancestor Maplegrove said with an angry face.


    Zhu Tianxiang was still unconvinced, but he heard Yun Windborne say with waned interest, ��Little Junior Brother, don��t argue anymore! Second Sage has already comprehended Alchemy Dao source and is an ancestor-level powerhouse like Master. This kneel of yours, he can bear it!��


    ��What?! He �� He �� This is impossible!�� Zhu Tianxiang��s entire body trembled violently, his gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with horror.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I gave you the chance. Originally, it would have been dropped with an apology. Now �� it isn��t that simple anymore.��


    Ancestor Maplegrove��s expression was very ugly now. Since Ye Yuan was an ancestor class powerhouse, then it was naturally impossible for this matter to be brushed off so easily.


    Otherwise, if Ye Yuan brazenly and shamelessly insisted on challenging him, he still had to answer the challenge.


    At that time, the entire Cloud Summer Mountain would really become a laughingstock.


    If Zhu Tianxiang apologized, Ye Yuan would have nothing to say. At that time, he naturally would not announce anything to the outside world.


    With a few sentences, Ancestor Maplegrove could already tell that even though Ye Yuan��s edge was extremely sharp, he was not some young and inexperienced hothead.


    On the contrary, he was even wiser than these disciples of his!


    Of course, with him reaching this level of realm at a young age, how could he be a fool?


    Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in space, one figure after another stepped out of the void.


    Seeing these arrivals, Zhu Tianxiang��s expression changed even more!

 Chapter 2303 - Cloudheart Realm’s Crisis

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    A piece of news that caused a great sensation instantly spread throughout the entire Cloudheart Realm.


    The five great ancestors punished their disciples severely and had their eldest disciples hold the line; they kowtowed and apologized to Second Sage��s two followers.


    The five great holy lands admitted to the outside world that Zhao Zixuan five people deliberately set things up to make Second Sage��s two followers fall into a trap.


    This kind of action that showed no respect for their elders should be severely punished!


    This sentence revealed a subtext. The five great holy lands changed their stance and admitted that Ye Yuan��s Second Sage position was equivalent to the ancestors!


    The entire alchemy world exploded!


    Some said that Ye Yuan brought the five great holy lands to their knees by himself, forcing the give great ancestors to have no choice but to lower their heads.


    Others said that Ye Yuan defeated Yun Windborne, his strength reaching the peak. The ancestor finally chose to compromise in order to not offend Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    It was just that both parties did not come out to clarify.


    Nobody knew what happened inside the great hall.


    Of course, the final result was that Ye Yuan won.


    Zhao Zixuan five people refused to apologize. But the final outcome was kneeling and apologizing.


    This unexpected turn of events scored full marks.


    When Heavenly Emperor Justbright two people saw Zhao Zixuan kowtow, they were completely stunned.


    Zhao Zixuan��s strength was inferior to his, but in terms of status, Zhao Zixuan flung him more than ten streets behind.


    As for Old Drunkard, that went even more without saying.


    When Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin three people heard this news, they were completely stunned too.


    Before this, they all thought that Ye Yuan was looking for abuse and could not climb to the top of the mountain at all.


    But who knew that the situation actually took a sudden turn for the worse, the five great holy lands yielded collectively!


    ��This is impossible! Could it be that that boy really already reached the realm of Dao pill?�� Zi Jin��s expression changed wildly as he said.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was a tremendous blow to Yun Windborne, how was it not the same to him?


    People who refined pills, who did not wish to advance to the realm of Dao pill?


    As the Medicine Ancestor��s youngest disciple, Zi Jin��s strength also reached Deva Realm already, and his Alchemy Dao reached the late-stage Ancestor Realm already.


    Even though it was still separated by a layer of grand completion, his goal was already locked onto Dao pill!


    Under the Medicine Ancestor��s command, only Eldest Disciple Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy and Second Disciple Heavenly Emperor Distantbook reached the realm of Dao pill.


    The others were all unable to pierce this layer of windowpane paper.


    One lineage, three Dao pill realms. Therefore, Cloudheart Realm was the well-deserving number one alchemy holy land of the Heavenspan World.


    ��Youngest Martial Uncle is thinking too much! That punk defeated Yun Windborne after all. His talent is astonishing. The five great ancestors must be wary of the Sacred Ancestor High Priest behind him. That��s why they would take a step back,�� Leng Tianqi said.


    ��Yeah, Lord Zi jin also didn��t think about it; how difficult is it to pierce this layer of windowpane paper! How heaven-defying are the few lords�� talents, but they still failed to break through after so long. Just the likes of him, a brat who��s a few thousand years old, how can he possibly break through?�� Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather said.


    However, Heavenly Emperor Zi Jin did not think so.


    He mused for a moment and said, ��I feel that it��s more likely that he broke through to the realm of Dao pill!��


    When the two people heard that, their expressions changed.


    Zi Jin continued, ��The importance that Master attaches to him exceeds your imaginations. If he didn��t reach the realm of Dao pill, Master absolutely won��t attach such importance to him! Furthermore, the five great ancestors are all figures who are incredibly shrewd. If Ye Yuan doesn��t have sufficient strength, how could they bow their heads? No matter how honorable and dignified the person is, making their disciples kneel down and apologize, this is a huge scandal!��


    The more Azurefeather two people listened, the more alarmed they got. In the end, it already became shock.


    This conclusion was too shocking!


    Furthermore, Zi Jin analyzed with penetrating criticism, they really could not find a reason to refute it.


    Actually, as long as one had sufficient status, analyzing these was not hard.


    It was just that they were not willing to believe this fact, that was all.


    ��This �� How is this possible? He��s still only a kid!�� Heavenly Emperor Azurefeather said in shock.


    Being under the Medicine Ancestor��s command, he was all too clear what the realm of Dao pill meant.


    Zi Jin��s eyes glimmered, a trace of understanding arose in his heart, and he said with a sigh, ��I finally know why Master raised such a big rumpus to organize the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference!��


    Azurefeather and Leng Tianqi two people trembled at the same time, and said in disbelief, ��Could �� Could it be because of Ye Yuan?��


    Zi Jin nodded slowly and said, ��Master has always been devoted to Dao and has long already not questioned secular affairs. He has also not hosted such a grand alchemy conference for a long time already. But this time, he organized the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference unprecedentedly. Don��t you all find it strange?��


    The more Zi Jin said, the more shocked the two people got.


    Leng Tianqi muttered, ��This �� the Priest Temple is Cloudheart Realm��s great enemy to begin with. The Sacred Ancestor High Priest is also only a hair��s breadth away from the Progenitor. If �� Ye Yuan is also a Dao pill realm powerhouse, then ����


    Thinking about it, Leng Tianqi felt terrified!


    Cloudheart Realm had three Dao pill realms in one lineage, and it was reputed to be the strongest in the world.


    But Ye Yuan also reached such a boundary, then the Priest Temple would have two Dao pill realm powerhouses.


    Then the Priest Temple��s influence would also expand significantly.


    It would even threaten the position of Cloudheart Realm!


    Zi Jin suddenly smiled bitterly and said, ��I��m afraid that it��s more than that!��


    Leng Tianqi said in surprise, ��What else is there?��


    This kind of situation was already extremely bad, could it be that there was still something even worse.


    Zi Jin��s vision was far more so than the two.


    His thoughts and opinions were clearly more comprehensive than the two.


    ��Ye Yuan��s limelight is so bright. Is it just those five ancestors that he��s posing a threat to? What about Sacred Ancestor High Priest? What about Master? Ye Yuan comprehended Dao pill while being so young. Who dares to say that he �� can��t refine a true Dao pill in the future!�� As Zi Jin said, his breathing suddenly became ragged.


    True Dao pill!


    These three words seemed to be overwhelmingly heavy!


    Regardless of whether it was the Medicine Ancestor or Sacred Ancestor High Priest, or the various ancestors, their goal was the true Dao pill!


    What the true Dao pill was, nobody knew either.


    But that was their lifelong pursuit!


    ��Then Sacred Ancestor High Priest clearly knows this. So why does he still let him grow unchecked?�� Zi Jin continued.


    The two people were long already shocked until they were staring dumbfoundedly and their mouths agape. They replied mechanically, ��Why?��


    Zi Jin said, ��Because he wants to borrow Ye Yuan��s hands to make himself grow! For so many years, he has always wanted to surpass Master!��


    Talking up to here, their minds all shook violently including Zi Jin.


    This consequence was too terrifying!


    If Sacred Ancestor High Priest surpassed Medicine Ancestor in all aspects, if Ye Yuan gathered more and more momentum, the entire alchemy world��s arrangement would be completely overturned!


    Cloudheart Realm would no longer be the number one alchemy holy land.


    It would be the Sacrificial Temple!


    Since time immemorial, how many alchemy path powerhouses have attempted to overturn Cloudheart Realm��s position as the overlord, but they did not accomplish it.


    Even Sacred Ancestor High Priest with his level of astonishing talent was also suppressed by Master until he could not lift his head.


    But now, a brat who was only over 2000 years old came roaring into existence and completely disrupted the alchemy world��s arrangement.


    Once Zi Jin��s conjectures came true, this consequence would be too terrifying for Cloudheart Realm!


    And this also explained why Myriad Region Alchemy Conference organized the grand Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time, going against convention.


    His goal was simply Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2304 - Second Sage’s Friend

    ��Master!��


    ��Hehe, Master, we��re here! Tsk tsk, really didn��t expect that I can actually come to the number one alchemy holy land in this lifetime!��


    When Yun Yi saw Ye Yuan, he bowed respectfully.


    While Ning Siyu was much more cheerful, looking around everywhere, clicking her tongue in wonder.


    To her, Cloudheart Realm was a legendary place, could view from a distance but could not play with disrespectfully.


    But today, she actually walked into Cloudheart Realm herself and was going to battle in alchemy with the myriad regions�� heaven chosen.


    This sort of feeling was like she was dreaming.


    Such a grand occasion was a tempering opportunity that was extremely hard to come by for any alchemist. Ye Yuan naturally would not forget his disciples.


    Yun Yi��s talent was extremely high. Under Ye Yuan��s teaching, he already stepped into Ancestor Realm not long ago.


    Ning Siyu��s strength was second only to Yun Yi. Her foundation was even more solid than Yun Yi��s. She had already reached grand completion Dao Realm too.


    When Ye Yuan saw the two people, he smiled and said, ��The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time has as many experts as clouds. The two of you mustn��t be self-conceited and must study hard.��


    The two people hurriedly answered, ��Yes, Master!��


    Arriving at Cloudheart Realm this time, only now did Ye Yuan know that the alchemy world truly had talents lying in concealment.


    Ignoring other things, the talents of Zhao Zixuan few people were absolutely rarely seen in the world.


    Their strength made many alchemy powerhouses who were a generation older perspire from embarrassment.


    Not just them, in the various major holy lands, there was no lack of Ancestor Realm youngsters too.


    As for the older generation Ancestor Realm powerhouses, that went even more without saying.


    Even though they were not worth mentioning when compared to Ye Yuan, to Yun Yi they all, it was definitely an unprecedented experience.


    Right then, another group of people entered Cloudheart Realm.


    Ye Yuan looked over, only to see several Heavenly Emperors slowly walk over.


    Behind them even followed several familiar people: Empyrean Pilljade and Empyrean Flutterfeather, as well as those reclusive alchemy ancient families.


    They all came from the Southern Border, so it was about time that they arrived.


    When Empyrean Pilljade saw Ye Yuan and Yun Yi, he could not help being taken aback, then his face immediately turned black.


    ��Humph! Unfilial child!��


    Yun Yi had an awkward look and could only keep silent.


    Ye Yuan also pretended not to hear and went forward to greet Empyrean Flutterfeather, saying with a smile, ��Brother Flutterfeather, how have you been!��


    As for the Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure by the side, Ye Yuan directly ignored him.


    He had never seen Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure before, but coming together with Flutterfeather, it could only be Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure.


    Empyrean Flutterfeather was slightly awkward as he said, ��Younger Brother Ye, turns out that you��ve arrived long ago.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��It��s been a few days. Since Brother Flutterfeather came, why not go to my Feather Mountain to stay, it will also be convenient for you and me to interact.��


    Empyrean Flutterfeather did not speak yet when the Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure beside said unhappily, ��No need, we have a place to go. Flutterfeather, let��s go.��


    ��Master ���� At this time, Yun Yi suddenly spoke up.


    His face was slightly embarrassed, Ye Yuan knew what was going on with one look.


    This kid was still rather filial and wanted to find a better place for Empyrean Pilljade.


    It was just that Ye Yuan had not spoken yet when he heard Pilljade say with a cold snort, ��No need! This empyrean hasn��t fallen so far to the extent where that I need an unfilial child to give alms!��


    Done talking, he also galloped away at full speed.


    Along the way, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure said with a cold snort, ��This brat really doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Really think that he can look down on the likes of us after he became whatever Second Sage?��


    Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun smiled coldly and said, ��So what if Second Sage? In front of the Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, that level of powerhouse, he��s merely a junior. He really treats himself as someone notable? He doesn��t know the terror of such powerhouses at all. Would they really pay attention to him, this sort of junior?��


    Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun was the person that Empyrean Pilljade paid allegiance to.


    He was an Eight-star Alchemy God himself!


    These two people racked their brains before getting a qualification to enter Cloudheart Realm.


    After all, Empyrean Flutterfeather and Empyrean Pilljade were both Ancestor Realm powerhouses and barely had the qualifications to enter the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference.


    Except, seeing Ye Yuan the moment they entered, it made them feel as uncomfortable as having eaten a fly.


    This brat made them lose out on a huge profit.


    ��Look at that brat��s cocky appearance. It��s like we can��t survive in this Cloudheart City after we leave him!�� Pilljade said with a sneer.


    Entering the city, the Heavenly Emperors naturally did not dare to be unbridled.


    They played the tyrant in the Southern Border, but arriving here, they had to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.


    ��Little Brother, we came from the Southern Border. I wonder if there are any accommodations arranged?�� Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun said respectfully to an Empyrean.


    That Empyrean had a proud look on his face, completely looking down on these few Heavenly Emperors.


    The Heavenly Emperors that were hard to come across outside, he saw too many every day.


    The Medicine Ancestor��s lineage had this arrogance.


    The Empyrean brought everyone to a residence. When the few Heavenly Emperors saw, their faces immediately became extremely ugly.


    This residence had fishes and dragons jumbled together and already had too many people staying.


    What was even more terrible was that Heavenly Emperors stayed two in a room, Empyreans �� six in a room.


    Regardless of whether it was Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun or Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure, or even Empyrean Pilljade they all, which one wasn��t a mighty figure who commanded a region? When had they lived so shabbily before?


    Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun��s expression was rather ugly as he said to that Empyrean, ��This little brother, can you change rooms for us? The price can be discussed!��


    That Empyrean smiled disdainfully and said, ��Those who can enter Cloudpill Summit, how many do you think lack money? During the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time, there are plenty of guys like you that are fishing in muddied waters and are long already overcrowded! Want to stay, then stay; not staying, then get lost!��


    The few people��s faces immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Arriving at this Cloudheart Realm, even a measly little Empyrean dared to order them about, not giving the slightest bit of face.


    Really aggravating people to death!


    Except, they had the anger but nowhere to vent.


    If they annihilated this Empyrean with a slap, they would be annihilated by somebody with a slap later on.


    Helpless, they could only stay temporarily.


    Their residence was very crammed, it was clearly partitioned out temporarily.


    Only after arriving here did Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun they all know their insignificance.


    The other Heavenly Emperors were also all squeezed in a small space, the atmosphere foul everywhere, unable to cultivate at all.


    Right at this moment, a figure slowly walked in, his face radiating awe without being angry.


    The powerful aura suddenly made everyone become tense.


    That Empyrean��s expression changed and he said respectfully, ��Lord Azurefeather!��


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure and Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun��s faces both changed wildly. Azurefeather��s illustrious reputation, it had struck their ears like a thunderclap.


    The two people hurriedly bowed and said, ��Offering greetings to Lord Azurefeather!��


    Azurefeather nodded slightly. Sweeping over everyone��s faces, he said coolly, ��Who is Flutterfeather? Who is Pilljade?��


    The two people��s hearts turned cold, not knowing what happened, but they still answered.


    ��This lowly one is Flutterfeather!��


    ��This lowly one is Pilljade!��


    Azurefeather said coolly, ��The few of you, follow me.��


    The few people did not dare to disobey and could only follow after.


    Azurefeather brought them to a courtyard and said coolly, ��You guys stay here then, someone will make arrangements for your daily life.��


    The few people exchanged glances, their faces surprised.


    They did not know why they would suddenly get such superior treatment.


    One had to know, the people coming and going from this place, most of their auras were extremely strong; far above theirs.


    No need to ask and they also knew that this place must be a place that only distinguished guests could stay.


    ��Lord Azurefeather, may I be so bold as to ask, why suddenly let us stay in such a nice place?�� Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure said.


    Azurefeather said coolly, ��Since you all are Second Sage��s friends, then you naturally can��t live too shabbily.��

 Chapter 2305 - Heavenly Emperor Distantbook

    After Azurefeather left, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure was still in shock.


    ��Lord Azurefeather is a Heavenly Emperor of Cloudheart Realm who walks the world. His status is extremely respected, being no less than many holy lands�� ancestors! Ye Yuan��s one sentence can actually make him come in person?�� Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure said in surprise.


    ��Maybe this is looking on the account of Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s face, right? The Priest Temple is an alchemy holy land second only to Cloudheart Realm after all!�� Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun said.


    At this time, a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse passed by and just happened to hear this. He could not help laughing and said, ��Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s face? Huhu, you guys are Second Sage��s poor relatives, right?��


    Whose family did not have a few poor relatives?


    Zhuo Yun the rest instinctively wanted to get angry, but the strength of this person in front of them was clearly much stronger than them. They could not afford to offend him!


    They then heard his explanation. He said, ��You guys just came, it��s also normal to not know! Heh heh, Second Sage��s name was fought out by himself with real swords and spears. It was not by relying on Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s blessings. It��s true that Lord Azurefeather��s status is revered, but in front of Second Sage, it��s nothing at all!��


    ��Hiss ����


    The few people drew a breath of cold air, feeling shocked.


    Azurefeather��s status was already an existence far beyond their reach.


    Ye Yuan��s status was actually even higher than his!


    Just how long had they not met? Ye Yuan was already so formidable?


    Actually, it was just that their knowledge and experience were shallow. That was all.


    If Pilljade knew the existence of Dao pills, he would be able to recognize that the Chaos Samsara Pill which Ye Yuan refined back then was already sufficient to attain mastery.


    That Heavenly Emperor powerhouse briefly talked about the commotion that Ye Yuan caused recently, making the few people stare dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    Even the Lord Azurefeather who was too high to be reached in their eyes was actually punished by Ye Yuan to kneel just recently!


    That would have been alright, but he still had to come and do things for Ye Yuan obediently now!


    One person challenged five great holy lands, pressuring until the five great holy lands lowered their heads.


    What breadth of spirit was this!


    They did not even dare to think about it at all.


    They just entered Cloudheart Realm and did not understand the situation here at all.


    But only at this time did they know what kind of place Feather Mountain was.


    ��Heh heh, although I don��t know what happened on Cloud Summer Mountain, right now, many people are all guessing that Ye Yuan��s strength already reached the level of an ancestor, and can sit with those top ancestors as equals already! Do you think that he��s relying on Sacred Ancestor High Priest? If this emperor was you guys, I��d immediately go before Sacred Ancestor High Priest to grovel and curry favor. If one can obtain one or two of his rewards, that will really be having a meteoric rise in the future!��


    After that Heavenly Emperor finished talking, he turned around and left, leaving behind everyone who was staring dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    �� ��


    Along with the passing of time, alchemy powerhouses gathered from all directions. Cloudpill became more and more lively.


    In the city, in the streets and alleys, there were alchemy powerhouses battling in alchemy everywhere.


    Among them, it was naturally Cloudheart City��s powerhouses who were a notch better.


    Medicine Ancestor had the Heavenspan World at his beck and call for countless years and had long already developed Cloudheart Realm into an extremely powerful alchemy holy land, experts plentiful as clouds.


    Even many major alchemy holy lands in the outside world had all kinds of connections with Cloudheart Realm too.


    Dao Realm powerhouses that were hard to come by in the outside world were as plentiful as oxen hair here.


    Even Ancestor Realm powerhouses had no shortage of people too.


    In contrast, Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s foundation was too shallow.


    Ye Yuan brought Yun Yi two people to battle in alchemy everywhere every day, exchanging on Alchemy Dao. The two people benefited a lot.


    Places that Ye Yuan went, everyone naturally welcomed them heartily.


    After all, regardless of whether the rumors were true or not, it was irrefutable that he defeated Yun Windborne.


    Just this point, his strength was already not what ordinary alchemy powerhouses could compare to.


    This level of powerhouse would not come to the city to interact at all.


    But Ye Yuan could lower his status and mingle with them. He even gave pointers concerning their doubts on Alchemy Dao from time to time. He was naturally immensely welcomed by all parties.


    Furthermore, the alchemy strength that Ye Yuan exhibited also made everyone wholeheartedly convinced.


    Prior to this, Ye Yuan was extremely overbearing in the way he dealt with affairs, leaving everyone with an extremely cold image.


    During these few days, everyone felt that not only was Ye Yuan not overbearing, but he was also very amiable and approachable instead.


    For some time, the three of them master and apprentices were very warmly received in the city.


    Toward this sort of situation, Ye Yuan was still very relieved.


    Regardless of what the Medicine Ancestor��s ultimate goal was, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time had indeed promoted the great development of Alchemy Dao.


    For this scale of alchemy conference, only the Medicine Ancestor had such rallying power.


    Several months later, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference finally started.


    On this day, the streets and alleys were empty. Everyone had gathered in the plaza in the center of Cloudheart City.


    The alchemy powerhouses who obtained the qualifications to participate were no less than 100 thousand people!


    Among these people, the vast majority came due to the prestige.


    Everyone understood in their hearts that the final winner of this conference could only be the various major holy lands.


    However, the participants of the various major holy lands were mostly third-generation disciples.


    Second-generation disciples�� strengths were too strong. Those like Yun Windborne were already powerhouses at the level of Mt. Tai, it would naturally not be suitable to take part in this kind of conference.


    Ye Yuan was sitting at the thousand-foot high platform, looking down loftily.


    A middle-aged man dressed in sky-blue long robes slowly walked out and arrived above the high platform.


    The moment he appeared, there was immediately a commotion in the crowd.


    Even those ancestors also opened their eyes one after another, looking at the arrival full of dread.


    The middle-aged man in blue robes opened his mouth and said coolly, ��Thank you all for honoring with your visit, arriving at Cloudheart Realm to take part in the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time. This emperor is Distantbook, the second disciple under Master��s command.��


    Rumble!


    The crowd exploded all at once!


    ��Heavenspan World Distantbook, the alchemy world��s peerlessly rare talent, and also the Heavenspan World��s legendary figure!��


    ��Heard that he only used 30 thousand years and cultivated to Ancestor Realm! Later, he was taken in as a disciple by Medicine Ancestor, cultivating to grand completion Ancestor Realm in 100 thousand years. Ten million years later, he finally broke through the fetters, reaching the realm of Dao pill!��


    ��Later, he challenged more than ten ancestors and didn��t have a single defeat! Last time, he challenged Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and he was defeated.��


    ��Among all the ancestor-level powerhouses now, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook is the youngest!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not hear of Heavenly Emperor Distantbook before, but looking from the reactions of others, this person was clearly extremely formidable.


    He was not in the pugilistic world, but the pugilistic world had his legends.


    Ye Yuan was currently sizing Heavenly Emperor Distantbook up, but then he discovered that Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s gaze was currently looking at him.


    An astonishing fighting spirit poured into Ye Yuan��s body, practically shredding his entire person apart.


    Ye Yuan was startled in his heart, the power of the chaos world quietly revolving, forcing this fighting intent out of his body.


    He stared right at Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, the fighting intent in his body similarly rising to the sky.


    Everyone stared at this scene wide-eyed and tongue-tied, not understanding what happened.


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s reaction, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was clearly quite surprised.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually block his fighting spirit!


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he continued faintly, ��There is not much to say. The rewards of the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time are extremely generous. It��s a handwritten book personally written by Master. The champion of the Dao Realm group and Ancestor Realm group will each get a copy of it!��


    The moment these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar once more.

 Chapter 2306 - Diametrically Opposed

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Personally written by the Medicine Ancestor! It��s actually personally written by the Medicine Ancestor!��


    ��Even if learn a tiny bit of Medicine Ancestor��s Alchemy Dao, it��s also sufficient for us to benefit for our entire lives!��


    ��During this conference this time, Myriad Region Alchemy Conference really put in the blood capital! This first place, I must get it!��


    �� ��


    For a moment, those alchemy powerhouses were extremely agitated. The Medicine Ancestor��s personally written notes directly ignited everyone��s enthusiasm.


    The handwritten notes of Alchemy Dao��s number one person was a fatal temptation to all alchemy powerhouses.


    Even Ye Yuan was also very moved when he heard ��handwritten by Medicine Ancestor�� these four words.


    To talk about the alchemy path��s legend, no one could surpass the Medicine Ancestor in this world.


    His Alchemy Dao experience was absolutely a treasure that all those who refined pills yearned for even in their sleep.


    Whatever heavenly emperor spirit treasure, whatever rank eight divine pill, they were all not worth mentioning in front of the Medicine Ancestor��s handwritten notes.


    In the crowd, Yun Yi��s gaze revealed a look of fanaticism.


    ��Hehe, Junior Apprentice Brother, you��re moved!�� Ning Siyu said with a laugh.


    Yun Yi did not mind and said smilingly, ��Why? Aren��t you moved?��


    Ning Siyu pursed her lips and said with an indifferent look, ��Getting it is good; not getting it is fine as well, I don��t feel anything regarding it. Either way, this Medicine Ancestor��s handwritten notes are also not much better than the things Master taught us.��


    Yun Yi nodded and said, ��I don��t deny this point, but everyone has their shortcomings and merits. Learning from others�� strong points and closing the gap is the right way. I think that Master is also moved now, right?��


    Ning Siyu said with a look of contempt, ��You this fellow, really becoming more and more like Master.��


    Yun Yi smiled and did not refute it.


    Ye Yuan taught him far too many things. His respect for Ye Yuan was long already engraved in his bones.


    However, he similarly also viewed Ye Yuan as his lifelong goal and opponent.


    This was also what Ye Yuan taught him.


    By the side, a middle-aged man said with a disdainful look, ��Heh, truly shameless boasting! Two juniors talking like the handwritten notes are already yours.��


    This middle-aged man��s aura was extremely strong, he was shockingly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, an Eight-star Alchemy God.


    Another person said, ��Huhu, Master Ping Chuan, don��t get angry. Youngsters making their world debut, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth is understandable.��


    A young man in crimson-robed said with a face full of arrogance, ��Brat, stop hallucinating that you��re the favorite. Medicine Ancestor��s handwritten notes are our Cloudheart Realm��s, no one can bring it away.��


    Their expressions changed, one after another looking toward that youngster in crimson robe.


    Hearing his meaning, he was actually Cloudheart Realm��s powerhouse.


    ��It��s Zou Rui! He��s Cloudheart Realm��s young generation��s strongest person! I didn��t think that even he would come to take part too!�� A cry of exclamation suddenly came from around.


    When the others heard this, their expressions changed one after another.


    The powerhouses taking part in the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time were too many, the various major holy lands�� elite disciples moved out in succession.


    And among these holy lands, the strongest was undoubtedly Cloudheart Realm.


    With this, everyone finally realized that this reward was not easy to get.


    Yun Yi gave Zou Rui a glance and did not say anything.


    The current Yun Yi had long already restrained his sharp edge, and would not fly into a great after with a casual provocation like back then.


    This was because he had powerful strength as support.


    The so-called not shaking when you have a jar full of vinegar, and shaking violently if you have a half-jar of vinegar; it was this logic.


    Of course, he was more influenced by Ye Yuan. Just as Ning Siyu said, he was becoming more and more like Ye Yuan.


    As for his performance, it was naturally being thought of as submission by Zou Rui.


    Very soon, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference officially began, everyone appeared in front of a transmission door.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook said coolly, ��What��s in front of you all is the Emperor Vast Pagoda��s transmission door. After you all enter the transmission door, you��ll be randomly assigned to a pocket space in twos. After the alchemy battle ends, the Emperor Vast Pagoda will automatically determine your victory or loss. Alright, now, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference official begins.��


    The Emperor Vast Pagoda was a very famous heavenly emperor spirit treasure of Cloudheart Realm, its power being limitless. It was also an essential treasure to host alchemy conferences.


    In the past, when Cloudheart Realm organized such grand occasion, they would use it.


    It was just that an alchemy conference of this scale had not been held for a long time already.


    Under a word of command, everyone disappeared from the plaza one after another, entering the Emperor Vast Pagoda��s space.


    The originally packed plaza became empty all at once.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook pointed at the void, a huge light screen appeared above the void. The situation in the Emperor Vast Pagoda was completely revealed in front of everyone.


    Done with all these, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook took his seat, looked at Ye Yuan, and said, ��I��ve long heard of Second Sage��s great name. Seeing you today, indeed lives up to your reputation.��


    His powerful fighting spirit earlier, even a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor might not necessarily be able to withstand it, but Ye Yuan resolved it in an instant, making it clear at a glance.


    Even though the outside world��s appraisal of Ye Yuan was extremely high, who was he, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook?


    He was the Medicine Ancestor��s direct lineage disciple, one of the Heavenspan World��s few supreme powerhouses.


    He thought that by relying on his powerful fighting spirit, he could instantly shatter Ye Yuan��s will.


    But sadly, he failed.


    However, he was not disappointed but became even more interested in Ye Yuan instead.


    Ye Yuan gave an ��oh�� nonchalantly and did not express anything.


    In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.


    This ��oh�� was packed with the smell of gunpowder.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook smiled and said, ��I heard that Second Sage��s disciples also came to take part in the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference. Second Sage is unusually talented and can reach the realm of Dao pill within a short two, three thousand years. Wonder if your disciples can survive the first round or not?��


    Provocation, this was a blatant provocation.


    Second Sage was a genius; nobody could refute this.


    But the time that Second Sage attained his Dao was too short. So how formidable could his disciples be?


    Even if he taught his disciples day and night, it was also impossible to teach his disciples until they were very formidable.


    Everyone looked in Ye Yuan��s direction, wanting to see how he would react.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s mindset is really shallow. Don��t you understand what��s called outstanding disciples come from an accomplished master?��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook smiled and said, ��Oh? How outstanding?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��More outstanding than you.��


    Everyone shushed, this smell of gunpowder was too thick.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook did not care and said smilingly, ��This emperor��s grand-pupil, Zou Rui, is the number one person in the young generation, how does Second Sage think your disciple is compared to him?��


    As they said, a small chunk on the light screen turned black, two figures appeared on the plaza once more.


    It was none other than precisely Zou Rui!


    It turned out that he actually already won.


    In this short while where they were just talking, a medicinal pill was not even refined completely yet and he actually won already.


    On the viewing platform, a wave of exclamations came over.


    Clearly, even the group of ancestors were extremely surprised.


    His opponent had his head lowered, appearing very dispirited.


    When Heavenly Emperor Distantbook saw this scene, he looked towards Ye Yuan meaningfully but discovered that Ye Yuan was completely aloof and indifferent.


    ��How is it, Second Sage?�� Heavenly Emperor Distantbook smiled and said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nothing much! This grand-pupil of yours doesn��t have the minimal devoutness toward Alchemy Dao; nothing to fear.��


    Zou Rui crushed his opponent in terms of strength, making his opponent directly give up on the competition.


    The medicinal pill was not yet refined completely at all.


    This kind of action that was a wanton waste of God��s good gifts was looked down on by Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook smiled and said, ��I command spirit medicines with my Dao. Why is there a need to be devout?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Myriad lives have spirit. Only if you respect it will it respect you!��

 Chapter 2307 - Dao Showdown!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker. My Dao is that the weaklings are used by the strong.��


    ��So what if strong? So what if weak? Didn��t you also walk over step by step from being a weakling? You��re better than spirit medicines in that you reincarnated better than them.��


    ��What a joke! This emperor is extraordinarily talented. Back then, I slaughtered my way out with my strength alone too, becoming the Heavenspan World��s legend. How can I be the same as ants?��


    ��So what? No matter how strong you are, you can��t escape this Heavenspan World��s cage either! Moreover, in terms of talent, what do you count for in front of this Ye?��


    �� ��


    The two people chimed in one after another, neither able to convince the other.


    Being able to tread out one��s own Great Dao, how firm were their minds? How could they be swayed because of a word from others?


    Suddenly, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� Second Sage, you and I are both heaven��s chosen of the present era. Why is there a need to indulge in a contention of mouth and tongue? It��s still early. So why don��t you and I have a match?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This Ye had precisely this intention.��


    All of a sudden, everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    Just as Heavenly Emperor Distantbook said, the two of them were both heaven��s chosen in the present era, their strength crushing their peers. Especially Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, he was an existence who had even exchanged blows with Sacred Ancestor High Priest before.


    While Ye Yuan was also a rising star, akin to the noonday sun.


    Just how his strength was, everyone was extremely curious.


    These two people��s pinnacle showdown was the real highlight of the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time.


    The two got up, stepped onto the air, and directly arrived above the void.


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove had his eyes shut the whole time. At this time, he finally opened both eyes, staring straight at the two people above the void.


    ��Old man, you look at these two people. Who��s stronger and who��s weaker?�� Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian said.


    ��This old man can��t say for sure.�� Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove said coolly.


    ��Heh, you sly old fox, still not willing to open your mouth at this point? In this old man��s view, Second Sage��s spirit is at its height, but he��s still young after all. The journey of Dao pill relies entirely on the accumulation of years. With yours and my accumulations, if we were to really take action, we might not be inferior to Second Sage,�� Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian said.


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove��s gaze glimmered slightly and he said, ��This old man �� isn��t sure.��


    The moment these words came out, all of the ancestors turned pale from shock.


    Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian��s expression was ugly as he said, ��Old man, you��re not joking, right? This joke isn��t funny at all.��


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove said without batting an eyelid, ��Does this old man have a need to joke with you?��


    Everyone��s shock was by no means trivial.


    Among these ancestors present, the ones who had truly seen Ye Yuan take action was only Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove.


    But at that time, Ye Yuan clearly did not use his full strength.


    There was no way to judge how Ye Yuan��s strength was at all.


    Clearly, Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove judged that Ye Yuan��s strength was difficult to ascertain through some clues and inklings.


    He was somewhat unsure, that was why he did not dare to act without careful consideration.


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove said, ��If this old had the confidence, I��d have taken action back then. Why would there be a need to endure patiently until today?��


    Everyone turned pale with fright. Thinking about it, it was indeed like so.


    If Ye Yuan was really just a young and inexperienced fledgling who comprehended a tiny trace of Dao pill concept, he did not have a need to forbear like so.


    After all, disciples kneeling down to apologize, this was not glorious. His face, the ancestor��s face, was also lost.


    All of the ancestors looked up above the void, two people stood in the air, all set for a showdown.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��How will the two of us approach this?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You��re the junior, you choose.��


    Heavenly Emperor Dao Ancestor laughed and said, ��In this world, apart from Master and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, no one else dares to call me, this emperor, a junior to my face! Second Sage, you��re very arrogant!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��What objections do you have?��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook choked, he really could not find a reason to refute it.


    Second Sage and the Sacred Ancestor were peers, which was also being in the same generation as Medicine Ancestor. He was Medicine Ancestor��s disciple, so he was naturally lower.


    ��Forget it, not going to argue with you. Since our differences lie with spirit medicines, then let��s fight with spirit medicines.��


    Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook pointed at the void. A majestic power of wood essence fired into the ground.


    In a blink, a young spirit medicine broke through the ground.


    This kind of means made everyone felt it was fantastical as they watched.


    This was the source of Great Dao, being able to develop myriad life.


    This spirit medicine��s grade was not high, being just a strain of rank three spirit medicine.


    To powerhouses at the level of Ye Yuan and Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, this kind of spirit medicine was virtually too offensive to the eyes.


    It was only to see Heavenly Emperor Distantbook reach his hand out and beckon. The spirit medicine flew into his hand.


    Following that, he drew a circle with one hand, the spirit medicine instantly became crushed, turning into fine powder.


    The power of Great Dao suddenly burst forth.


    Behind Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, a phantom of the sun suddenly rose, unparalleledly domineering.


    This was Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s Great Dao!


    Reaching this level, their alchemy battles were not like how it used to be, being based on spirit medicines.


    The so-called Dao pill pointed right at the source of Dao. The brilliance of application depended on one��s wit and was no longer bound to pill formulas.


    A grain of sand, a rock, a blade of grass, a piece of wood, could be refined into pills.


    Just like Sacred Ancestor High Priest, when he fought with Medicine Ancestor back then, they determined the victor and who was superior with just a game.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook shook lightly, that pile of powder flew toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan pointed at the air, that ball of powder suddenly became still. At the same time, the power of Great Dao similarly erupted from his body.


    An enormous Tai Chi diagram formed behind Ye Yuan. Furthermore, it started to spin slowly.


    This was Ye Yuan��s first time displaying his true strength in front of everyone. Everyone instantly became lost in wonder.


    Especially Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian. He originally still felt that Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove was overly cautious, but now, he stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, nothing to say.


    This power of Great Dao could already completely be on par with him and did not lose to him in the slightest.


    Back then, if he really took action because of Zhao Zixuan��s matter, the outcome might have been very embarrassing.


    Losing to a rising star like Ye Yuan who was only two to three thousand years old, his old face would really have nowhere to put.


    Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian secretly thought what a close shave.


    However, even though Ye Yuan��s power of Great Dao was strong, it was still too weak in front of Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    One had to know, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was an existence that had once defeated the various great ancestors before.


    In this Heavenspan World, there was only the Medicine Ancestor, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, as well as his eldest senior brother, who could firmly suppress him.


    The others so far behind that they could only see the dust ahead.


    Above the void, a huge circular aura field formed with the two people as the center.


    Focusing one��s eyes and looking, this enormous aura field was the embryonic form of a world.


    It was just that this world was not complete and not balanced either.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook clearly suppressed Ye Yuan significantly, occupying a huge advantage.


    This kind of situation was like the situation of Medicine Ancestor overwhelming Sacred Ancestor High Priest back then.


    The time that Ye Yuan entered the realm of Dao pill was short after all. Compared to Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, he was still too weak.


    But Ye Yuan��s face was rippleless like an ancient well and did not have any panicky expression at all.


    The Tai Chi diagram behind him was still revolving strongly, without giving in the slightest bit.


    The two people, coming and going, that stalk of rank three spirit medicine gradually became egg-shaped, one end big, the other end small.


    The larger end was precisely Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s end, while the smaller end was Ye Yuan��s.


    Without a doubt, this battle was already Heavenly Emperor Distantbook occupying the absolute advantage.

 Chapter 2308 - Reversal!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Hahaha, is this your strength, Second Sage? Truly disappoints me too much! See, everything depends on strength. Your Dao is inferior to my Dao.��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook laughed wildly. In this contest, he already established the winner.


    This was a showdown of Dao. His Dao already completely crushed Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan absolutely had no possibilities of turning the tables.


    On the viewing platform, the ancestors had sympathetic looks on their faces.


    ��This kid��s myth is finally coming to an end,�� Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian let out a sigh of relief and said.


    Ye Yuan��s road to the peak was seriously too miraculous.


    Not that they could not accept geniuses, but Ye Yuan��s genius was a little too frightening.


    Less than 3000 years old achieving Dao pill realm, this simply subverted everyone��s understanding.


    Even those sons of Heavenly Emperors, existences who had powerful strength the moment they were born, were also not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan.


    Before this, they all felt that Ye Yuan was merely a junior, not worth mentioning at all.


    But Ye Yuan challenged Cloud Summer Mountain, going all the way to the top from the foot of the mountain. Even the powerful Yun Windborne was defeated at his hands, making everyone��s jaws hit the ground.


    In the end, he even forced Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove to back down.


    Only then did everyone know that turns out he was already an ancestor-level powerhouse.


    Now that Ye Yuan was about to lose, everyone let out a long sigh in relief.


    His myth was finally coming to an end.


    Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove smiled and said, ��If Ye Yuan defeated even Heavenly Emperor Dao Ancestor, Medicine Ancestor probably can��t sit still anymore as well.��


    ��However, this kid can perform to this extent. It��s already shocking enough! Fortunately, this old man knew that you, this old fellow, are cautious and didn��t take action back then. Otherwise, it will really be embarrassing,�� Ancestor Yi Xian said1.


    ��A good show is about to come to an end. I wonder if this boy can withstand this kind of blow or not,�� Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove said.


    ��This is hard to say. After all, a genius like him has probably never experienced failure before, rising rapidly all the way up to a high position! As the saying went: the higher you stand, the harder you fall. I��m afraid that it��s very hard for him to withstand this blow,�� Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian said.


    The group of ancestors nodded one after another, deeply feeling that way too.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan and Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s alchemy battle already reached a white-hot stage too.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook eroded Ye Yuan��s territory bit by bit, squeezing him to the limit.


    ��Hahaha, brat, weren��t you very arrogant just now? Where did that spirit just now go?��


    ��Didn��t you talk until it was well-grounded and reasoned just now? What about now?��


    ��This is your so-called Dao? What a joke, it��s too weak.��


    Crushing a genius like Ye Yuan seemed to be a very delightful thing, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was smug to the extreme.


    But the Ye Yuan opposite seemed to be cowed by Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s imposing aura and did not say a word at all. It was as if he had already resigned himself to fate.


    ��Condense for me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook suddenly yelled out, drawing a successful conclusion to the alchemy battle this time.


    An egg-shaped medicinal pill condensed in the air.


    And the medicinal pill of this shape also showed that Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was the victor of this alchemy battle.


    ��Huhu, finally still lost,�� Heavenly Emperor Yi Xian said with a meaningful smile.


    ��A myth has finally been ended!��


    ��It��s a shame, actually. I was rather looking forward to Second Sage winning.��


    �� ��


    All of a sudden, everyone felt disappointed.


    Regarding the record of Ye Yuan this myth, everyone��s feelings were actually very complicated.


    On one hand, everyone hoped for Ye Yuan to continuously create legends. On the other hand, everyone was also scared that he was too formidable.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook looked at Ye Yuan and said smugly, ��Why? Nothing to say, my Second Sage? Wasn��t your tongue very sharp previously? Didn��t you say that this emperor��s Dao isn��t worth mentioning? Now, why don��t you speak!��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was unrelenting after gaining momentum, pressing on Ye Yuan with every step.


    Cloudheart Realm��s alchemy powerhouses were greatly excited, mocking Ye Yuan to the best of their ability.


    ��A guy who overestimates his own abilities, does he really take himself to be some major power? In front of our Cloudheart Realm, even Sacred Ancestor High Priest is nothing, let alone whatever dog fart Second Sage.��


    ��When Lord Distantbook roamed the Heavenspan World unhindered, your grandfather��s grandfather��s grandfather wasn��t even born yet!��


    ��Hahaha �� brat, don��t be so arrogant as a person! Careful that you slap your own face!��


    �� ��


    Cloudheart Realm��s alchemy powerhouses all viewed themselves as self-important and already reached the level of blind confidence.


    No matter what you were like, in short, they were number one under the heavens!


    From the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference started until now, Ye Yuan had been basking in the limelight. They were long already upset.


    Now, they finally nabbed the chance.


    In the crowd, Zou Rui smiled disdainfully and said, ��What dog fart Second Sage? Compared to Grandmaster, you��re still far away! Also, you guys, following this dog fart Second Sage, do you really think that you��re remarkable? Today, I��ll let you take a look at what��s called powerful!��


    Beside him stood Yun Yi and Ning Siyu.


    Yun Yi looked at Zou Rui strangely and turned to Ning Siyu and said, ��What do you think?��


    Ning Siyu frowned and said, ��I feel that �� it isn��t over yet!��


    Yun Yi nodded and said, ��I think so too.��


    ��Hahaha �� truly ridiculous! The outcome is already decided, could it be that he can still overturn the heavens?�� Zou Rui said with a big laugh.


    Yun Yi and Ning Siyu talked among themselves and did not have the intention of caring about him at all.


    Zou Rui glared hard, almost angered until he vomited blood.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Above the void, Ye Yuan suddenly burst into laughter.


    Everyone was stunned, instinctively thinking that Ye Yuan could not bear the blow of failure and went mad.


    Many people shook their heads and sighed, thinking that this genius was crippled.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook could not help laughing as he said, ��I even thought that Second Sage was some remarkable figure. I didn��t expect that he was so weak that he crumbled with a single blow.��


    ��Distantbook(Yao Shu), you were really given a good name!�� Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s brows furrowed and he said, ��What do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Distantbook(Yao Shu), going to lose(Yao Shu), this name of yours is really given beautifully!��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was taken aback, only then, aware that Ye Yuan was making fun of his name.


    However, he really did not think in this aspect before.


    Because he never lost before.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook frowned and said, ��If you lost, then you lost. Want to regain some dignity using this kind of method? What a joke! Like this will only show your cowardice even more!��


    Ye Yuan held back his laughter and said with a sneer, ��Look at how smug you are. Do you really take it as if you��ve won?��


    But Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was indifferent and said disdainfully, ��Even a blind man can also tell that this emperor won this alchemy battle, right? Why? Could it be that you can still distort facts?��


    Many ancestors shook their heads one after another, feeling that Ye Yuan was too much of a sore loser.


    The outcome was already a foregone conclusion, why made an exhibition of himself?


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan slowly extended a finger and said coolly, ��Then this Ye will let you take a look at whose Dao is the truth!��


    Done talking, he pointed at the void, a Tai Chi diagram whizzed into that ��egg�� with a whoosh!


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    That egg immediately gave off popping sounds like fried beans!


    Then, the egg gradually became rounded. The aura of Great Dao descended once again!

 Chapter 2309 - Dao Heart Collapse!

    ��What��s going on here? A world that already collapsed actually recovered anew!��


    The few great ancestors suddenly stood up, looking at that medicinal pill with shocked faces.


    The medicinal pill that had originally already had its shape fixed actually burst forth with a terrifying power once again.


    This surge of power seemed like it rose up from ruins, radiating with youthful vitality anew.


    This kind of method achieved the same wondrous effect as Heavenly Emperor Distantbook birthing spirit medicines bare-handedly with different means.


    However, it was no idea how many times more advanced!


    This was a broken world being bestowed vitality anew.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s entire body trembled, looking at that medicinal pill in a daze.


    The medicinal pill shattered from the inside, remolded, shattered again, and remolded again.


    A complete world gradually outlined and formed.


    Finally, a spherical and transparent medicinal pill was re-displayed in front of the world.


    Medicinal pill, not some shocking medicinal pill, but a down-to-earth Dao pill that gave off a world power that shocked people to the core.


    Everyone was shocked speechless!


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable!


    ��How is this possible? Heavenly Emperor Distantbook clearly occupied a tremendous advantage! How can it become like this?�� Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove could not figure it out after racking his brains.


    Suddenly, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook trembled all over, gaze staring fixed at Ye Yuan and he said, ��Fine means! Indeed a good method! You avoided the sharp edge and didn��t confront this emperor head-on, integrating your Great Dao into the Dao pill under this emperor��s eyes! You planted a seed in the Dao pill, but after everything settled down, it broke through the earth and emerged again! During the battle, you could perform such minute manipulation and have such a brilliant idea, this emperor �� admires!��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s realm was not what others could compare to.


    When everything erupted, he understood Ye Yuan��s method very quickly.


    It was just that understanding was one thing. But to defeat Ye Yuan? He was already powerless to stop it.


    With his strength, if he discovered Ye Yuan��s means during the alchemy battle, he could naturally crush it effortlessly.


    But there were no ifs in this world.


    That moment when he won, he was actually already defeated!


    Moreover, talking about it was easy, but doing it was difficult to the extreme.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook knew all too clearly that being able to perform such a hair-raising operation under his eyelids, one really could not find a second person in this world!


    The title of Second Sage was well-deserved!


    Hearing Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s words, the group of ancestors was horrified.


    There was actually still such a play?


    ��J-Just what is this guy��s brain made out of?�� Ancestor Yi Xian said in shock.


    ��Heh, this isn��t just a matter of brain! If it were you and me, even if we can think of this method, can you hide from Distantbook��s eyes and ears? Even if you hid from his eyes and ears, do you have the ability to perform such subtle manipulation?�� Heavenly Emperor Maplegrove said with a solemn look.


    Ancestor Yi Xian opened his mouth but did not say anything. He did not know how to follow up.


    Just as Old Fart Maplegrove said, he could not do it!


    Only then did they understand that even if Ye Yuan��s comprehension of Dao pill realm was almost the same as them, they were absolutely not Ye Yuan��s match either.


    This guy was too strong!


    No one expected that Ye Yuan defeated the strong as the weak, defeating such a powerful Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    Cloudheart Realm��s powerhouses collectively shut up.


    Just now, they were screaming the most spiritedly, but who could have thought that in a blink, their faces would be slapped resoundingly.


    In the crowd, Zou Rui had a dazed look.


    Just earlier, he was still mocking Yun Yi two people endlessly.


    That imposing momentum was all too arrogant.


    But in a twinkle, an astonishing reversal happened to the situation.


    His grandmaster was defeated!


    This reversal came too quickly, swift until he could not react in time.


    As the young generation��s number one person, he was also someone who wanted face.


    The words that one said were like water that was splashed.


    So awkward!


    Zou Rui could not resist sneaking a glance at the two, but then he discovered that the two people were currently looking at him meaningfully.


    With a rush, his face instantly turned red.


    Yun Yi two people did not answer back sarcastically, it was just that their smiles, the lethality overwhelmed thousands of words.


    ��What are you guys smiling at? Using this kind of opportunistic method, what ability does it count as!�� Zou Rui turned angry from embarrassment as he said.


    ��Ohhh ���� Yun Yi two people exchanged a glance, deliberately dragged the tone out, making it even more sarcastic.


    Zou Rui was greatly embarrassed. If these two had a war of words with me, it was still fine. Yet, this cynical way of speaking that dripped with sarcasm made him virtually go crazy!


    ��You guys �� you guys! Humph! Just you guys wait and see!��


    ��Ohh ����


    ���� ����


    Zou Rui was utterly defeated. He secretly swore in his heart. As long as he ran into these two fellows, he would definitely teach them a lesson.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Distantbook and said with a faint smile, ��I know that you��re unconvinced in your heart and feel that you definitely won��t lose to me if you go again, isn��t that so?��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook gave a cold snort and did not speak.


    In reality, he meant exactly that. It was just that he was embarrassed to open his mouth.


    Losing was losing. Saying whatever fight again could only lower one��s own status.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You��re stronger than me; this point is irrefutable. This Ye also admits that going again, I absolutely won��t be your match. But so what? Your Dao lost to my Dao. Isn��t that so?��


    ��Your Dao is unparalleledly domineering, looking down on everything and everyone! Therefore, it��s not that you were careless, but that it��s your Dao which destined that you won��t notice it! Because you won��t pay attention to a stalk of measly little spirit medicine. Because it��s just a tool in your hands, a tool to defeat me. Even if it��s created by you!��


    ��But I can bestow it new life and give it what it wants! How do you know that it wasn��t it that helped me to hide from you? A solid dyke can collapse because of an ant hole in it, something that you tend to not pay attention to could give you a fatal blow. Timing, geographical, and human conditions, you don��t occupy a single one. So how can you beat me?��


    Ye Yuan��s words were loud and clear, trampling Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s pride onto the ground ruthlessly.


    Nobody could find any fault with his words.


    Losing means losing!


    Competing again did not have any meaning at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook being strong was just because his accumulations were stronger than Ye Yuan, that was all.


    But Ye Yuan��s Dao indeed surmounted above Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    As long as his accumulations were sufficient, catching up, even surpassing Heavenly Emperor Distantbook in the future, was not something impossible.


    No, it was for sure!


    The height of Dao determined the height of achievement.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao was stronger than Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, surpassing him in the future was a sure thing.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s expression flickered incessantly, staring at Ye Yuan fiercely, surging with killing intent.


    Ye Yuan was destroying his Dao heart!


    He understood, but he could not stop it!


    A flaw still showed in his Dao heart.


    Every person was extremely devout toward their own Dao.


    But once you had doubts about it, that was the start of one��s Dao heart collapse.


    Everyone held their breath, including the ancestors.


    Ye Yuan��s guts were really too big, to actually destroy the number three person��s Dao heart in Cloudheart Realm so openly and brazenly.


    But everyone also understood that Ye Yuan doing so had no cause for much criticism.


    Because the objective of Heavenly Emperor Distantbook making a move was obviously to strike at Ye Yuan��s Dao heart!


    Now that Ye Yuan won, he had no need to show mercy.


    Be that as it may, this place was Cloudheart Realm, the bodhidharma of the Medicine Ancestor!

 Chapter 2310 - Pilljade’s Shock!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Facing the Deva Realm powerhouse, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook who was surging with killing intent, his expression did not change in the slightest.


    He was not worried about Heavenly Emperor Distantbook making a move at all. Because Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest were definitely both paying attention to here currently.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest must be secretly delighted right now. So how could he possibly let him prevail?


    If really forcing Sacred Ancestor High Priest to take action, the entire Cloudheart Realm would be destroyed. This was not something to joke around with.


    Just as the atmosphere was extremely tensed, a man in white robes slowly stepped out and arrived beside Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s expression changed, and he said, ��Eldest Senior Brother!��


    The arrival was precisely the Medicine Ancestor��s eldest disciple: Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was not overbearing like Distantbook, saying with a light smile, ��Master wants to see you. You withdraw first. There��s me here.��


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s expression flickered indeterminately and was extremely embarrassed. Senior Apprentice Brother was finding a way out for him here.


    Even when he, the exalted Heavenly Emperor Distantbook faced off against Sacred Ancestor High Priest back then and returned in defeat, he had also never been in such an embarrassing situation before.


    He did not expect that today, he was humiliated like so by a junior.


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook��s heart burned with bitter hatred, but he was also helpless and could only say, ��Yes, Junior Apprentice Brother takes my leave.��


    Done talking, he turned around and left.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy looked at Ye Yuan and said with a kindly smile, ��Lastingjoy has been unclear all this while why Lord Sacred Ancestor would establish Young Friend Ye as Second Sage. Upon seeing today, only now am I deeply aware of Lord Sacred Ancestor��s keen insight into a person��s qualities! Second Sage defeating Junior Apprentice Brother, you��ll become famous in the Heavenspan World from today onwards.��


    But when Ye Yuan heard, his brows furrowed slightly.


    This person was very amicable, a faint smile hanging on his face from beginning to end, looking like the Maitreya Buddha, giving people a feeling of relaxing their vigilance.


    For some reason, Ye Yuan kept feeling that this Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was incomparably deep, and seemed even more difficult to deal with than Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    This sentence sounded like a compliment, but it actually concealed a blade in the dark. Not only did it give Cloudheart Realm a way to step down, it even conveniently took a little stab at Ye Yuan.


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time was clearly instigated by Cloudpill Summit first. Earlier, it was also Heavenly Emperor Distantbook provoking continuously. Now, it became him fishing for fame, achieving his fame with a battle with Heavenly Emperor Distantbook as the stepping stone.


    Furthermore, who Ye Yuan defeated was just Heavenly Emperor Distantbook and was not Cloudheart Realm.


    This could only be considered the exchanging of views between powerhouses, and it did not represent the exchange of views between two great factions.


    These ancestors could not help secretly marveling at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s prowess.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Just winning against a junior, nothing worth bragging about. Is Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy interested in sparring with this Ye?��


    Such a deep Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy gave him an unfathomable feeling.


    And this feeling made him rather excited.


    Who knew that Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy just chuckled and waved his hand and said, ��Even Junior Apprentice Brother lost to Second Sage; this emperor��s strength is lacking and doesn��t dare to challenge Second Sage. Alright, official matters need to come first. The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference continues.��


    A transmission door appeared once more in front of each person.


    The second round competition officially began.


    After a huge storm passed, everyone could not remain calm anymore.


    Quite a few people were whispering to each other, and the object of the discussion was naturally Second Sage Ye Yuan.


    The impact that this battle brought was not just a Myriad Region Alchemy Conference, but the entire alchemy world!


    The alchemy world that already did not have ripples for a long time, had huge waves surge once more because of Ye Yuan suddenly roaring into existence.


    Even when Sacred Ancestor High Priest roared into existence back then and challenged Medicine Ancestor, it was also not stronger than the shock caused by Ye Yuan��s battle.


    After all, when Sacred Ancestor High Priest challenged Medicine Ancestor back then, he was already a Deva Realm super powerhouse. He had lived for God knows how many tens of thousands of years.


    But how old was Ye Yuan?


    He was merely a young man who was less than 3000 years old. In front of these ancestors, Ye Yuan was merely a teenage boy.


    The age could virtually be ignored!


    Ye Yuan��s potential was too great, great until everyone did not dare imagine.


    After the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time, the alchemy world��s structure would completely change. The Priest Temple��s position would close in on to Cloudheart Realm.


    Later, it might very likely form a situation of existing side by side.


    Amidst the discussion, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference went round after round. The number of people that got eliminated became more and more, the true young generation��s powerhouses also gradually found their way to distinction.


    Zou Rui was like his grandmaster, peerlessly domineering. His fights with his opponents had never exceeded two hours.


    Often, after the match had gone on for a while, the opponent would directly abstain and concede defeat.


    Even though Yun Yi and Ning Siyu kept on winning in their respective groups, they were far from as breathtaking as Zou Rui. They appeared much more mediocre in the conference where geniuses gathered.


    Rather, each and every one of the other holy lands�� geniuses was powerful, crushing their peers, appearing much more outstanding than the two of them.


    But what everyone found strange was that no matter how strong the genius, the two of them could always defeat their opponents after a bout of hard battle.


    Coincidentally, Yun Yi ran into his great-grandfather Empyrean Pilljade in one of the matches.


    In the end, Yun Yi firmly suppressed Empyrean Pilljade and defeated his own great-grandfather.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s strength was still rather formidable in Ancestor Realm. After he lost to Yun Yi, he was unbelievably shocked.


    He did not expect that in a short thousand years�� time, Yun Yi actually already grew to such a level!


    One had to know, even though Yun Yi was very talented back then, he was merely a little brat in his eyes.


    But the child back then already surpassed him in all aspects in alchemy strength.


    Thousand over years, walking through the road that he walked for millions of years, the shock in his heart could be imagined.


    Toward Yun Yi, he had always been extremely furious in his heart.


    Because in his view, Yun Yi��s action was a kind of betrayal.


    While other people��s betrayal would be infuriating, his own great-grandson��s betrayal made him feel even more ashamed and furious.


    But now, his heart finally eased up a trace. He suddenly somewhat understood Yun Yi��s choice.


    Pilljade suddenly felt that he was too shortsighted and was not even as good as his own great-grandson.


    Compared to such powerful strength, what did his bit of shoestring margin count as?


    With strength, would one still be scared that there would be no benefits?


    He was still flopping around in the Southern Border, that small pool of water, while Yun Yi was already standing in the sea of the entire Heavenspan World, debating on Dao with myriad regions�� geniuses!


    The level was already completely different!


    What shocked and surprised him even more was that Ye Yuan did not conceal his abilities but gave Yun Yi his all.


    One could tell from this point how magnanimous Ye Yuan��s heart was.


    How Yun Yi��s talent was, Pilljade was very clear.


    He was a genius, but placed in the entire Heavenspan World, what did it count for?


    But it was such a Yun Yi who was already taught by Ye Yuan into a peerless expert!


    What Ye Yuan was formidable in was not just himself. His ability in teaching disciples was similarly hair-raisingly impressive.


    No one would pay attention to the transformation in his heart. In this place, he was merely a minor character.


    The competition went on round after round, the shock and transformation in Pilljade��s heart also became stronger and stronger.


    Yun Yi��s path of advancement was not breathtaking, but it was extremely solid!


    Overcoming all difficulties along the way, he reached the finals.


    And his opponent was precisely Zou Rui!

 Chapter 2311 - Overpowering Cloudheart Realm!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Only all the way until this moment did everyone suddenly startle awake. Second Sage��s two disciples actually both reached the finals!


    It was not that they were not strong, but it was that the two of them, their sense of existence were truly too weak.


    Each alchemy battle, they won without the slightest exciting aspect.


    Coupled with that the alchemy battles were carried out inside the Emperor Vast Pagoda, there was no directly viewing feeling.


    Therefore, they appeared much more ��mediocre�� compared to the other young powerhouses.


    Only all the way until Yun Yi and Ning Siyu both reached the finals did everyone awaken from a dream.


    It turned out that this Myriad Region Alchemy Conference was actually because of the showdown between Cloudheart Realm and Second Sage in the end.


    Ning Siyu��s opponent was similarly a Cloudheart Realm powerhouse.


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Especially those holy lands�� ancestors, each and every one of them was shocked to the extreme.


    The master being strong could be understood.


    After all, Ye Yuan was a rare genius.


    But why were his disciples also so strong?


    To say that the Heavenspan World��s alchemy circle was big, it was not big. Saying that it was small, it was not small either.


    The young generation��s outstanding geniuses, these ancestors could all call their names.


    The performance of those geniuses also did not let these ancestors down, each and every one of them very outstanding.


    But only when it reached the finals did the ancestors discover that those geniuses whose names could be called suffered crushing defeats one after another, gotten rid of by Yun Yi and Ning Siyu one by one.


    The process was too plain. No one paid attention to it.


    It was just like boiling a frog in warm water. When the frog discovered that the water temperature was high, it could no longer jump out.


    The ancestors felt a chill run down their backs. Their gazes when looking toward Ye Yuan again were like looking at a monster.


    Each and every one of them was extremely puzzled, not understanding how Ye Yuan did it.


    Even if Ye Yuan had been teaching his disciples in these close to 3000 years, it was also impossible to have such a terrifying result, right?


    After all, teaching apprentices was different from cultivating oneself.


    The vagueness of Dao could only be understood and not imparted with words.


    The starting point of the master being high, they could give guidance to disciples from a commanding height.


    But fully passing on one��s Dao to their disciples could not be done at all.


    Then the problem came. How did Ye Yuan do it?


    They naturally did not understand that Ye Yuan never talked about whatever fleeting and ephemeral allegory, making his disciples go comprehend.


    His method of teaching apprentices was only one word, practice!


    Read books a hundred times, the meaning could be seen for oneself!


    Practicing over and over again, practicing foundational skills.


    The basic skills that others cast aside like a pair of worn-out shoes, were regarded as a holy scripture in the Pill Tower.


    In the Pill Tower, as long as the alchemist could be patient and not tire of cultivation, their strength would not be poor.


    While Yun Yi and Ning Siyu were precisely the best among them!


    Of course, the Pill Tower also did not just practice, practice, and practice blindly.


    The harder they practiced, the more problems they encountered during cultivation as well. Ye Yuan would naturally answer them one by one.


    All in all, the Pill Tower already established a powerful and comprehensive alchemist nurturing system.


    But the core of this system was still diligent practice.


    No one could succeed casually!


    For Yun Yi and Ning Siyu to be able to achieve fame overnight in one battle, the hard work that they put in at the back, it was extremely hard for normal people to imagine.


    As for their master Ye Yuan, it naturally went even more without saying.


    Zou Rui was extremely shocked in his heart. His strength far surpassed his peers and he did not care about who his opponent was at all.


    But among the opponents in the finals that he imagined, there was absolutely no Yun Yi.


    His thoughts were the same as the world, same as his grandmaster.


    Ye Yuan being formidable did not mean that his disciples were formidable.


    But the fact was, his disciples were too formidable. They were simply duplicates of Ye Yuan.


    ��You seem very surprised,�� Yun Yi said smilingly.


    ��Indeed a little, but whoever the opponent is, is the same to me. It��s just that you and your junior apprentice sister are really shameless, deliberately hiding your strength and making your opponents underestimate you guys,�� Zou Rui said.


    Yun Yi extended two fingers and said with a smile, ��Firstly, Senior Apprentice Sister Nine is my senior apprentice sister, not junior apprentice sister. Secondly, we didn��t intentionally hide our strength. Master told us that each alchemist has their strong points, and he makes us learn their strong points well. Including you, it��s the same too.��


    Zou Rui laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Utter nonsense! The strong reigns supreme. What right as a weakling have to be senior apprentice sister? Also, only the strong are worth learning from, what��s there to learn from the weak?��


    In all of the holy lands, it was all the strong that reigned supreme.


    As long as one��s strength was strong enough, they could replace them.


    Ning Siyu��s strength was inferior to Yun Yi, but she could be the senior apprentice sister? Wasn��t this ridiculous?


    Also, what was worth learning from the weak?


    Only the strong had shining points on them!


    So these words sounded like messing around to Zou Rui.


    Yun Yi shrugged and said coolly, ��As long as you��re happy.��


    He knew that others could not accept it. In reality, he himself also could not accept it at first.


    However, Ye Yuan talked about his experiences in Cloudmarsh City. Only then did Yun Yi they all know that it was really the case.


    The weak points of the losers were magnified infinitely, resulting in covering up the strong points.


    Only by possessing a magnanimous heart could one see the strong points from others, and draw it over for their own use.


    Ye Yuan himself walked over like this. He also taught his disciples how to walk like this.


    Zou Rui��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��It doesn��t matter. This battle, I want you to suffer a crushing defeat!��


    The finals started very quickly. Zou Rui��s strength was indeed powerful. He was simply a weak version of Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    The moment he came up, he put tremendous pressure on Yun Yi.


    But Yun Yi also finally exhibited his full strength in this fight.


    The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference, walking this entire road, Yun Yi also grew a lot.


    Facing the powerful Zou Rui, he did not shrink back at all.


    The two people battled for three days and nights. The quality of Yun Yi��s medicinal pill finally still suppressed Zou Rui��s.


    While on the other side, Ning Siyu also defeated Cloudheart Realm��s other person with a slight advantage.


    Everyone was shocked!


    Even though before this, the various holy lands cast covetous eyes towards Medicine Ancestor��s handwritten notes, the various great ancestors were clear in their hearts that it was very hard.


    Cloudheart Realm��s strength was not just because of a Medicine Ancestor.


    The might accumulated over countless years was overwhelming in any generation!


    Even though Cloudheart Realm already had not taken action for many years, no one doubted their might.


    But they lost!


    Ye Yuan master and disciples three people overpowered Cloudheart Realm!


    Heavenly Emperor Distantbook must be paying attention to this place. He had once boasted in front of Ye Yuan that his grand-pupil was the young generation��s number one person.


    Now, this face was slapped resoundingly!


    The number one person lost!


    Grandmaster lost, grand-pupil also lost.


    No one thought of this conclusion.


    If Ye Yuan defeating Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was still just his victory alone, then what kind of concept was the three of them defeating their opponents at the same time?


    This was an all-round surpassing others!


    If the master and disciples three people flew together after several years, what had it still got to do with Cloudheart Realm?


    These master and disciples three people overturned the entire alchemy world��s power balance.


    Too terrifying!


    Zou Rui looked like he was battered out of his senses, he was unable to accept this outcome.


    Before this, he kept thinking about avenging his grandmaster and ruthlessly humiliating Yun Yi.


    But who knew that he actually lost!


    His strength overwhelmed his peers and he had never found a match among peers.


    But today, he was defeated by a peer.


    All of his pride was shattered to pieces the moment the furnaces were opened!

 Chapter 2312 - Medicine Ancestor’s Invitation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��That��s my great-grandson! Did you guys see that? He��s called Yun Yi! That��s my great-grandson! My great-grandson won the championship of the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time! Hahaha ����


    In the crowd, Empyrean Pilljade danced excitedly and started yelling around.


    Even though Empyrean Pilljade was arrogant, he had never thought that his family��s child would actually be standing on the stage of the entire Heavenspan World, and that he would become the alchemy path��s number one person!


    It was not that he did not want to, but with his level, he did not dare to think about this step at all.


    Poverty restricted his imagination!


    To him, the greatest expectations he had of Yun Yi was succeeding his position and dominating the Southern Border.


    But Yun Yi��s current achievements had already far exceeded what he defined, reaching a level that he could not imagine.


    Defeating Zou Rui, the current Yun Yi was already equivalent to the young generation��s number one person!


    How did the current Empyrean Pilljade still remember Yun Yi��s betrayal? How did he still remember his resentment and enmity with Ye Yuan?


    All that was left in his head was just a word: pride.


    Beside him, Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure, as well as Empyrean Flutterfeather, all had dumbfounded faces.


    Clearly, they also found it hard to imagine this result.


    The other people looked at Empyrean Pilljade with strange faces, like they were looking at a fool.


    ��Seen before those who claimed kinship, never seen before someone who claimed kinship like this.��


    ��He won and he��s your grandson, where have you been? Only running out to claim kinship now, I��ll even say that you��re my grandson now!��


    ��Screw off, you! With just your poor and shabby appearance, can you teach such an excellent great-grandson?��


    �� ��


    Nobody believed Empyrean Pilljade at all.


    The powerhouses on Feather Mountain all had fixed seats, if Yun Yi was really Empyrean Pilljade��s great-grandson, he should be seated in a very revered place, and not the same as them, standing in this tiny corner.


    This kind of lie could only make him appear very laughable and ignorant.


    Empyrean Pilljade��s face turned black, immediately having a look of shame on his face.


    Yeah, if he chose to support Yun Yi back then, then the current situation would be completely different.


    When everyone saw his appearance, they were even more certain that he was boasting.


    �� ��


    Amidst the huge shock, the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference finally came to an end. A Southern Domain��s small faction called Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma became famous all over the world.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy personally gave two copies of Medicine Ancestor��s handwritten notes to Yun Yi and Ning Siyu, then carried out a bout of praises with a smile.


    Yun Yi was currently more and more like Ye Yuan and naturally remained indifferent whether granted favors or was subjected to humiliation.


    While Ning Siyu only had Ye Yuan this master in her eyes. Whatever Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s praise, she did not care at all.


    Just as everyone thought that the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time would end with Cloudpill Summit��s crushing defeat, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy arrived before Ye Yuan.


    ��Second Sage, Master invites you up Cloudheart Mountain to debate on things.��


    Everyone��s minds trembled, the Medicine Ancestor was personally moving out!


    The real highlight was here!


    The moment these words came out, it was as if the air had solidified.


    The Medicine Ancestor was already not just the name of a powerhouse, he already became the insignia of Alchemy Dao.


    He was the ceiling of Alchemy Dao!


    He was the Dao Ancestor of Alchemy Dao!


    He was not a Dao Ancestor, but in the hearts of all alchemists, he was a Dao Ancestor!


    An invincible existence!


    Even a powerhouse like Sacred Ancestor High Priest also could not challenge his prestige.


    But today, Ye Yuan��s one lineage, master and disciples three people overpowering Cloudheart Realm, dealt Cloudheart Realm a vicious slap.


    The Medicine Ancestor finally could not sit still anymore!


    He was a transcendent existence and rarely showed face in the world.


    For countless years, only when Sacred Ancestor High Priest went up the mountain back then to seek Dao did he take action one time.


    Today, for Ye Yuan, he finally made a move once more.


    One was a rising star, startlingly talented, the best in the present era.


    One was Alchemy Dao��s founder, reigning for countless years, invincible under the heavens.


    These two people��s fight would definitely cause a shocking wave.


    Then, would Ye Yuan accept the Medicine Ancestor��s invitation or not?


    Everyone was waiting to see it!


    Only to see Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Can��t finally bear to take action? Huhu, had to insist on this Ye giving a slap before he��s willing to make a move. Why is there a need?��


    Everyone got a shock. Did this guy make light of Medicine Ancestor?


    Everyone present took pride in being able to meet Medicine Ancestor.


    Being able to obtain his guidance, they even wanted to prostrate in worship.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not have the least bit of awe at all.


    Someone who cultivated the alchemy path actually had no respect for the totem-like Medicine Ancestor!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��Whatever dissatisfaction Second Sage has, you can go and tell Master. Lastingjoy is just acting on orders.��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, ��Brother Lastingjoy, this Ye really looks forward to being able to fight with Brother Lastingjoy one day.��


    Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��It��s a great honor for Lastingjoy to be able to be thought highly of by Second Sage. However, this emperor only gained enlightenment on Dao by chance back then. For so many years, my progress has been very slow and has long already been surpassed by Junior Apprentice Brother. Second Sage defeated Junior Apprentice Brother, this emperor is naturally not a match.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Lead the way.��


    He would not naively think that Lastingjoy was really inferior to Distantbook.


    He heard before that this Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy and the Medicine Ancestor were existences of the same era, and had already lived for no idea how long.


    To be able to become the Medicine Ancestor��s eldest disciple and even comprehend Dao pill source, how can he possibly be a mediocre person?


    Seeing this Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy gave Ye Yuan an unfathomable feeling.


    How his strength was, it was hard for Ye Yuan to jump to conclusions rashly. But he had a feeling that even if this Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was not as good as Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Ye Yuan reckoned that he was also not far off.


    At least, he was definitely stronger than Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    But this guy put on an appearance of being very simple and honest, giving you a feeling of defenselessness, his sense of existence being extremely low.


    This guy was playing the fool, so Ye Yuan could not be bothered to haggle over it with him too.


    After all, the Medicine Ancestor was the alchemy path��s superlative.


    Seeing the alchemy path��s highest peak was the most important objective of Ye Yuan��s trip.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy turned around and said to everyone, ��The Myriad Region Alchemy Conference ends here. Master and Second Sage��s game, everyone can head to Cloudheart Mountain to observe! If you��re not interested, you can leave.��


    Finished talking, he brought the group of ancestors and left.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy said so, but such a grand occasion was hard to come across in tens of millions of years. So how could they miss it?


    Therefore, everyone rushed toward Cloudheart Mountain.


    It thoroughly exploded in the crowd!


    ��You guys, between Medicine Ancestor and Second Sage, who do you think will win and who will lose?��


    ��Look at what you��re saying; how ignorant! It��s true that Second Sage is formidable, but it was already extremely difficult for him to defeat Heavenly Emperor Distantbook. Still want to beat the Medicine Ancestor?��


    ��Heh, so many years have passed. There��s already no one who knows the terror of Medicine Ancestor anymore! He is a summit that can��t be scaled! On the path of Alchemy Dao, he��s the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    ��Heh heh, I hope that Second Sage can still grow up after experiencing this battle!��


    �� ��


    This was a showdown without any suspense. The only thing to watch was how terribly Ye Yuan would lose.


    Back then, after the Sacred Ancestor High Priest lost to Medicine Ancestor, he was in depression for a very long period of time.


    All the way until later, he founded the Priest Temple and groomed demon race alchemy rare talents.


    Then now, similar to Sacred Ancestor High Priest, could Ye Yuan experience this unprecedented setback and stand up again?

 Chapter 2313 - Perilous Battle!

    On top of the summit cloud platform, two old men were currently drinking tea leisurely.


    Fragrance lingered.


    One of them, a lean old man, had his eyes shut the whole time, looking like he was asleep.


    The lean old man said in a hoary voice, ��Ask Not two words, have you solved it?��


    The middle-aged man in blue robes by the side said coolly, ��Old thing, after so many years, you��re still not willing to let me go?��


    The lean old man said, ��The path of Dao is full of setbacks to begin with. If you can��t even clear this hurdle, how will you seek Dao?��


    The middle-aged man in blue robes had a disdainful look on his face. These two words had delayed him far too much time, making him waste his best years.


    When he came to realize the truth, everything was already too late.


    Missing the best time for cultivation, people��s cultivation speed would become slower and slower.


    Just like Ye Yuan, his onslaught was currently indeed unstoppable. But once it was delayed, that would be thousands, tens of thousands, even millions of years.


    Naturally, this could not be blamed on only the Medicine Ancestor. Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s own Dao heart also had flaws existing. It was just that it was caught by Medicine Ancestor.


    ��These Ask Not two words, I can��t solve it, but Ye Yuan he solved it. Otherwise, why would you, this old fellow, have this idea to organize the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference this time?��


    ��Such an amazing rising star, how can this ancestor not be alarmed? This Second Sage compared to you, just who is a little stronger?��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at the lean old man meaningfully and said, ��If you measure him yourself, wouldn��t you know?��


    While talking, several dozen figures landed on the cloud platform. The two in the front were precisely Ye Yuan and Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    When he saw that lean old man, Ye Yuan��s gaze never looked away.


    This old man had his eyes shut all this while, his aura extremely feeble, looking like he was about to pass away at any time.


    But he did not know why. The person gave Ye Yuan an unfathomable feeling.


    This kind of feeling was indescribable. All in all, he was powerful, indescribably powerful!


    Ye Yuan had a strange feeling that this old man before his eyes was not a person, but a medicinal pill, a medicinal pill that led to Great Dao.


    Even the Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not give Ye Yuan this kind of terrifying feeling too.


    It was as if this old man was born for medicinal pills. It was as if he �� was Alchemy Dao.


    The lean old man used a dry voice and said, ��Young Friend Ye, please sit.��


    Ye Yuan did not decline and sat down beside Sacred Ancestor High Priest. The other ancestors also took their seats one after another.


    ��Young Friend Ye, we��ve met before.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Yes, in Ask Not.��


    The Medicine Ancestor that time was extremely powerful, his figure full of power and grandeur as if a celestial deity descending upon the mortal world.


    But Ye Yuan did not expect that the Medicine Ancestor��s true self was actually such a thin and emaciated-looking thin old man.


    Suddenly, not seeing the Medicine Ancestor have any movement either, but his entire person already disappeared on the spot.


    An incomparably huge chessboard suddenly appeared above the void. The entire Cloudheart Realm could see it clearly.


    The projection of a lean old man appeared on one end of the chessboard.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and was just about to step out, but he heard Sacred Ancestor High Priest suddenly say, ��Be careful!��


    Ye Yuan turned around and said smilingly, ��Senior Sacred Ancestor seems to be afraid!��


    Wing actually nodded and said, ��Yes, this old man thought that I can not fear him anymore. But meeting once again, this old man is still nervous. Of course, what��s more important is that he got stronger!��


    The Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest were clearly not really chatting leisurely.


    Each and every one of the two of their actions and every word, they were all crossing swords.


    But Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not occupy any advantage at all.


    He thought that so many years had passed, his heart knot had already been unknotted.


    But seeing Medicine Ancestor again, only then did he discover that his own Dao heart was still unable to face him unperturbed when in front of him.


    Wing was not worried that Ye Yuan would lose, but worried that Ye Yuan��s Dao heart was the same as him, with a crack.


    Ye Yuan��s talent was greater than his, he believed that Medicine Ancestor would be even more ruthless!


    But Ye Yuan smiled brilliantly and said, ��Not scared that he��s strong, just scared that he isn��t strong!��


    Finished talking, his figure disappeared on the spot.


    Above the void, Ye Yuan��s enormous projection exhibited in front of everyone.


    Everyone held their breaths. Clearly, they did not expect that these two people actually did not talk nonsense, and clashed together so straightforwardly.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy said to Sacred Ancestor High Priest with a smile, ��Lord Sacred Ancestor, the stars change positions, but Master��s opponent turned into Second Sage, wonder how you feel about it?��


    Wing smiled and said, ��He��s stronger than me.��


    Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��He isn��t stronger than you.��


    Wing said, ��Your master understands it. He��s stronger than me.��


    Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��So that��s how it is. It��s just that Lord Sacred Ancestor seems to be lacking in confidence.��


    Wing said, ��He��s always unexpected.��


    While the two people crossed swords with words, Ye Yuan already took action!


    It was only to see him pointing at the void, directly landing his piece.


    Pah!


    A crisp sound seemed like a piece landed amidst heaven and earth, the sound of Great Dao suffusing the world.


    An enormous Tai Chi diagram directly occupied a large area.


    Pah!


    The Medicine Ancestor landed a piece and Ye Yuan��s Tai Chi diagram directly collapsed.


    A berserk aura spread out from the chessboard, suffusing the entire Cloudheart Realm.


    Strong!


    A might that made people suffocate!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao could occupy a portion of the chessboard?


    While Medicine Ancestor��s Dao could spread out of the chessboard.


    The level was clear at a glance!


    The eyebrows of the Ye Yuan opposite furrowed heavily, feeling an unprecedented pressure.


    This was the hardest alchemy battle in his life, not one of!


    Just one move, and it made him unable to withstand it.


    The world that he carefully constructed, the Medicine Ancestor determined the entire world��s framework with just a glance, and then he completely occupied this world!


    The Medicine Ancestor opposite him and the Medicine Ancestor inside Ask Not were completely the strength of two different worlds.


    This was the true strength of the alchemy path��s number one person!


    One day, two days �� one month!


    Ye Yuan��s second piece was considered for more than a month!


    Outside of Cloudheart Mountain, Yun Yi��s brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��The Medicine Ancestor is well-deserving of being the alchemy path��s number one person. I��ve never seen Master have this kind of expression during an alchemy battle before.��


    Ning Siyu said gloomily, ��This old man, with one look and I already know he has no good intentions.��


    Yun Yi sighed and said, ��This is the world of Dao. It��s too profound! To be able to stump Master until like this, no idea just what realm Medicine Ancestor has reached.��


    Ning Siyu said with an ugly expression, ��Master wouldn��t lose, right?��


    Yun Yi shook his head and said, ��This time, I��m afraid that he��s really going to lose. However, the most terrifying thing isn��t losing!:


    Ning Siyu was taken aback and said, ��What else is more terrifying than losing?��


    Yun Yi said with a solemn expression, ��It��s naturally Dao heart! Each person��s Dao is different, who��s Dao is correct, who��s Dao is wrong, will be more distinct in this level of powerhouses�� struggle. Losing, one might very likely lose their Dao heart! Master won Heavenly Emperor Distantbook, then ruined his Dao heart later. It��s likely hard for his strength to improve anymore in the countless tens of thousands of years after today. Also, there��s the Sacred Ancestor High Priest, because he lost to Medicine Ancestor back then, and lost his Dao heart, that��s why he��d remain at a standstill.��


    Ning Siyu opened her mouth wide, a look of astonishment on her face.


    She originally felt that this was merely an alchemy battle and that there was nothing dangerous.


    But now, she could not help worrying about her master.

 Chapter 2314 - : Insurmountable Peak!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Pah!


    After thinking hard for more than a month, Ye Yuan finally landed another piece.


    The Tai Chi diagram appeared once more; the power of Great Dao emerged.


    Pah!


    The Medicine Ancestor landed another piece right on the heels of him, shattering Ye Yuan��s Tai Chi diagram once more.


    Overbearing!


    Extremely overbearing!


    The foundation of the world was constructed by Ye Yuan, it should have been led by Ye Yuan in the first place.


    But the Medicine Ancestor was too strong.


    This kind of might made everyone feel asphyxiated.


    Only Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy had a smiling appearance, like looking at a very normal thing.


    The Medicine Ancestor already had not taken action for countless years. He already became a totem.


    Everyone knew that he was strong, but they did not know how strong he was.


    But today, once he took action, it shocked myriad regions!


    His might was unmatched, overpowering the present era!


    The rules were set by me.


    Alchemy Dao was ruled by me.


    No matter how astonishingly talented you were, no matter how your means were exceedingly formidable, in front of this kind of powerful strength, it was all futile.


    The height that he was standing at, was far from what Ye Yuan, this rising star, could hold a candle to.


    The two people��s disparity was too great!


    The world that Ye Yuan carefully constructed, was unbelievably deplorable in front of the Medicine Ancestor.


    One look and he saw through the actual situation.


    Your world was dominated by me!


    The number one person in the world was this domineering!


    ��Second Sage is in danger! After this battle, he��ll likely sink thoroughly.��


    ��Second Sage is incredibly talented, since time immemorial. I thought that even if he loses, he��ll at least lose with dignity too. I didn��t expect that he actually lost so miserably!��


    ��It��s too miserable, there��s no strength to fight back at all! Even compared to Lord Sacred Ancestor, he��s also much worse.��


    ��I even thought that I could see an astonishing great battle. I didn��t expect that it��s actually one-sided. It��s not interesting anymore.��


    �� ��


    Aside from the shock, the group of powerhouses could not help feeling dull.


    Ye Yuan��s path of mythology was undoubtedly going to stop here.


    The Medicine Ancestor was still the Medicine Ancestor, the alchemy world��s Heavenspan Mountain.


    Of course, while it was boring, not a single person left.


    The Medicine Ancestor taking action, this was a grand event that could only be encountered once every ten million years, how can it be missed?


    This kind of Great Dao, even if only comprehend a trace, it would also be beneficial for life.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest had a solemn look. The shock in his heart was like thunder roaring throughout the nine heavens.


    The Medicine Ancestor got stronger again!


    Furthermore, it was not just a little bit stronger!


    If he faced off against the current Medicine Ancestor, even if he was better than Ye Yuan, he would also not be much better.


    These tens of millions of years, he was still marching on the spot, while the Medicine Ancestor already took an even firmer step toward Dao pill.


    ��Master, Second Sage almost can��t endure anymore! This �� is simply a rout!�� Ji Mo said in surprise.


    It was still his first time seeing Ye Yuan look so strained.


    Every step was taken with extremely difficulty.


    Wing smiled bitterly and said, ��I harmed this kid!��


    Ji Mo said in surprise, ��Why does Master say this?��


    Wing��s expression was complicated as he said, ��Master always thought that this old man is a narrow-minded man, intentionally suppressing his opponents. But seeing him again today, I discovered that I misunderstood him!��


    The group of disciples was shocked when they heard this, revealing disbelieving looks.


    Master and Medicine Ancestor were sworn enemies, this was virtually something that everyone knew in the Priest Temple.


    But what did these words now mean?


    ��Why does Master say this?�� Ji Mo asked again.


    Wing said, ��This old thing is indeed narrow-minded, but on the path of alchemy, he is indeed a peerless genius that none can rival! The battle with him last time, he indeed ruined my Dao heart. But these few tens of millions of years, he integrated the essence of my Dao into his Great Dao! His strength is long already no longer what it used to be!��


    The group of disciples was filled with fear, only then, understanding Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s meaning.


    This alchemy path��s number one person became much stronger than back then!


    This also meant that Medicine Ancestor took another big step toward the true Dao pill.


    The present Medicine Ancestor already shook Sacred Ancestor High Priest off far behind.


    Who else was Medicine Ancestor��s match in this world?


    Only then did everyone present understand that it was not that Ye Yuan was too weak, but that Medicine Ancestor was too strong!


    Reaching the Medicine Ancestor��s level of realm, it was almost impossible to make any progress anymore.


    But who could have thought that he could still learn from other people��s strengths and put them to use for himself?


    The present Medicine Ancestor already completely shook Sacred Ancestor High Priest off, no one could threaten him anymore.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest could not; Ye Yuan �� even less so!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy said with a grin, ��Master being the number one person on the alchemy path isn��t just being number one in strength. His talent is likewise number one in alchemy! The world all thinks that Master has long been unable to make progress anymore. But actually, he��s improving every day. Second Sage��s talent is high, perhaps even higher than Master��s, it��s just a pity that �� his accumulations are too weak.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s expression was complicated as he said, ��I harmed this kid! After this battle, his Dao heart ����


    Ye Yuan��s will was extremely tough, even far surpassing ancestor-level powerhouses�� will. Wing had a score in his heart about this.


    It was just that Medicine Ancestor was too strong!


    His strength already exceeded ordinary people��s understanding.


    Ye Yuan �� was still too inexperienced after all.


    One step forward, Ye Yuan struggled to stride forward.


    Each step that he took, the time used took longer and longer.


    From one month to two months, then to three months.


    In a blink, several years passed, Ye Yuan only walked over a dozen steps.


    However, Ye Yuan��s face did not have any anxious look. He was completely immersed in the structure of the world.


    Medicine Ancestor��s Dao was incomparably tyrannical as if crushing his Dao like a giant mountain.


    This was completely the disparity between two different power levels!


    It was Ye Yuan��s first time experiencing the ultimate strength of Dao pill.


    It also made him have a sense of powerlessness for the first time in alchemy.


    Over 50 years passed in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan already had not landed a piece in ten years.


    Pah!


    The Ye Yuan who was akin to a withered tree finally landed his piece.


    Pah!


    Medicine Ancestor landed a piece right on the heels, ruthlessly crushing Ye Yuan��s Tai Chi diagram without the slightest mercy.


    ��Pfft!��


    Ye Yuan spewed out a mouthful of blood wildly, splattering onto the chessboard.


    A burst of exclamations came over, everyone understood that Ye Yuan was defeated.


    The current Ye Yuan was emaciated like a stick, both eyes deeply sunken, as if his entire person was drained dry, like a seriously ill person.


    ��He��s still forcefully holding on! Actually, he could have surrendered long ago!��


    ��Ye Yuan is too weak! He doesn��t have the qualifications to face off against Medicine Ancestor at all. He doesn��t have any self-awareness at all.��


    ��His journey has been too smooth and he has never encountered a setback. Encountering such a huge setback this time, he��s naturally unwilling to admit defeat.��


    �� ��


    In their view, Ye Yuan could have conceded defeat long ago.


    Forcefully hanging on until now was completely keeping up appearance to cover up his predicament.


    Ning Siyu grabbed Yun Yi��s clothes, practically about to tear them apart.


    It was only to see her bite her lip lightly and say, ��Master he �� will be fine, right?��


    Yun Yi��s eyes were full of blood traces as he shook his head and said, ��I don��t know. Master he might �� really be in danger this time!��


    ��Why? Why hasn��t he given up yet? With Master��s talent and strength, he can definitely surpass Medicine Ancestor in the future. Why must he insist on forcefully holding on now?�� Ning Siyu said in tears.


    ��Sigh, maybe �� Master has his own thoughts!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes became more and more sunken, his person becoming thinner and thinner, his state being poor to the extreme.


    But he still did not have the thought of giving up.

 Chapter 2315 - Absolute Retaliation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Pfft!��


    Ye Yuan��s piece fell down and he immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    Landed again, vomited again. He landed again, and he vomited again.


    His fleshy body was extremely powerful, but now, it was practically at the extent of being at the end of his life.


    He looked extremely miserable.


    This alchemy battle was no less than even a paramount great battle.


    For Ye Yuan, it was too hard.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at Ye Yuan and could not help recalling himself back then.


    How similar was this scene!


    He sat withered in front of the chessboard previously and sat for several thousand years.


    Medicine Ancestor��s moves aimed straight at the Dao heart, impossible to guard against at all.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was too weak to begin with, facing the even stronger Medicine Ancestor, he could only be defeated even more thoroughly.


    ��Sigh, it��s all my fault. This boy �� is most likely crippled already.�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a gloomy sigh.


    Actually, even if he did not say, everyone could tell too.


    This myth ends here!


    A prodigy that made the world tremble already came to a curtain call here.


    ��Young Friend, it ends here!��


    Suddenly, Medicine Ancestor��s dry voice came from above the void.


    Pah!


    A piece landed, the void trembled, and the entire chessboard started shaking violently.


    Above the chessboard, white light radiated brilliantly. The dazzling light broke right through the firmament, completely drowning out the black pieces.


    This chessboard world no longer had a way out for the black pieces.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, his eyes full of an ashen look.


    Clearly, he was already at the end of his rope.


    His gaze revealed a pondering look, seemingly not understanding the situation before his eyes.


    ��It shouldn��t be like this!�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��Young Friend, you lost.�� Medicine Ancestor said coolly,


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I didn��t lose, there must still be a way out!��


    Medicine Ancestor said leisurely, ��When you took the first step, this ancestor has already seen through a hundred steps! Each one of your steps is within this ancestor��s calculations. The world that you constructed is operating according to this ancestor��s will. Are you still not admitting defeat?��


    This was a showdown but also a genuine fight.


    Whoever ruled this world of chessboard was the victor.


    The current Medicine Ancestor was not the Medicine Ancestor in Ask Not.


    That Medicine Ancestor was merely a wisp of remnant soul. Furthermore, he was suppressed by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. Ye Yuan could position himself in a leisurely manner.


    While in this place, his opponent was the real Medicine Ancestor, his might could shatter everything.


    No matter what means you have, it was not worth mentioning at all in front of absolute strength.


    This alchemy battle was firmly controlled by Medicine Ancestor from the very beginning.


    What kind of world Ye Yuan wanted to construct, how to construct, Medicine Ancestor saw it clearly.


    Therefore, he did not need to think at all.


    When humans think, God laughs.


    What it was talking about was this kind of situation.


    The height that Medicine Ancestor stood at was too high, he was watching this alchemy battle from the perspective of God.


    No matter how ever-changing you were, how could you escape God��s eyes?


    Ye Yuan racking his brains to think was nothing more than a farce in Medicine Ancestor��s view.


    ��No one can control everything! I can��t, you can��t, even �� Heavenly Dao can��t either! I will lose, but �� I absolutely won��t lose like this!�� Ye Yuan used a similarly dry voice to say.


    A chess game for nearly 100 years, Ye Yuan had been trying to escape Medicine Ancestor��s control.


    Every step he took was made with extreme difficulty.


    Exchanging moves with a god-like powerhouse, if one played according to the other party��s tempo, there was no chance of winning at all.


    Others all said that he was overestimating his own ability, but did not know how impressive he was to hold out until now.


    From the very first move Medicine Ancestor made, Ye Yuan understood that the current Medicine Ancestor was definitely no idea how many times stronger than the Medicine Ancestor back then!


    He had fought with Sacred Ancestor High Priest before. Even though it was just a tiny probing, he could confirm that Sacred Ancestor High Priest was far worse than Medicine Ancestor!


    He naturally would not feel that Sacred Ancestor High Priest was intentionally cheating him. It could only mean that the Medicine Ancestor made great improvements again in these years.


    One could say that the current Medicine Ancestor was already infinitely close to the level of Dao pill, close to being a god.


    No wonder the first time he laid eyes on Medicine Ancestor, it gave him a ludicrous illusion that the other party was a medicinal pill.


    But so what?


    He came in order to witness the highest summit of the alchemy path!


    Fighting with heaven, an endless enjoyment.


    Fighting with a god, an endless delight.


    ��This ancestor has integrated Wing��s Dao and already touched the power of law! In this Dao, this ancestor is a god! How can a group of ants fight with a god?�� Medicine Ancestor said coolly.


    The group of ancestors had the jitters when they heard it. Touching the power of law, that was the level of Dao Ancestors!


    That level of existence was truly an existence that governed destiny, its power unimaginable.


    At present, the title of Medicine Ancestor was already in reality as well as in name!


    ��Forget about the fact that you��re not a god, even if you��re really a god, so what?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze shifted toward the chessboard, then fell into contemplation again.


    Medicine Ancestor was indifferent, his figure moving, returning above the cloud platform.


    ��Huhu, this kid is as stubborn as you back then!�� Medicine Ancestor said with a dry laugh.


    Wing��s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Stop pretending, actually, you��re very surprised too, right? Or should I say, you��re currently secretly happy! Because I delivered you a treasure trove!��


    Medicine Ancestor smiled and said, ��Huhu, looks like you already understand! This ancestor walking until today, what I relied on wasn��t suppressing juniors. Your Dao heart falling was just because your Dao heart had flaws. That��s right; you delivered a big gift to this ancestor today. The strength of this kid��s Dao exceeds my imagination! After this ancestor digests today��s battle, I��ll definitely be able to comprehend the power of law and attain the true level of Dao pill!��


    Everyone trembled all over, this news was seriously too shocking.


    Dao pill, that was the realm that all alchemists dreamed of.


    Except, no one had ever reached it!


    After today, Medicine Ancestor was actually able to reach this paramount realm!


    In the past, everyone said that Medicine Ancestor was half a Dao Ancestor.


    But soon, Medicine Ancestor would become a true Dao Ancestor level powerhouse!


    At this time, everyone��s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan again could not help turning into pity.


    Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan��s roaring into existence would shake Cloudheart Realm��s foundation, and drag the alchemy world into a warring states period.


    But who knew that Medicine Ancestor used Ye Yuan as a footboard, and corroborated his Dao to become a true Dao Ancestor!


    ��Huhu, congratulations, Medicine Ancestor, for achieving Alchemy Dao supremacy!��


    ��Congratulations!��


    �� ��


    The group of ancestors went forward one after another to congratulate Medicine Ancestor in advance.


    That moment Medicine Ancestor corroborated his Dao, the entire Heavenspan World would tremble because of it.


    The status of the Medicine Ancestor at that time would truly be on par with Dao Ancestors.


    And the Dao of Medicinal Pills would also truly be juxtaposed with Martial Dao, becoming a peerless Great Dao.


    This significance was too great!


    Medicine Ancestor did not reciprocate. He still had his eyes shut, like an ancient well without ripples.


    Reaching his level of boundary, he had long not felt delighted by external gains and not saddened by personal losses already.


    Pah!


    A clear sound suddenly sounded out in the world, suddenly interrupting the felicitations.


    Everyone turned around and looked, but discovered that Ye Yuan actually stubbornly landed a piece.


    ��Huhu, this kid still hasn��t given up?��


    ��Lamentable, pitiable!


    ��A genius fell here.��


    �� ��


    Everyone revealed looks of contempt, very disdainful toward Ye Yuan��s action of not being able to bear a loss.


    But right at this moment, Medicine Ancestor��s two eyes that had been shut all along suddenly snapped open, staring fixedly at the heaven and earth chessboard, erupting with rays of brilliant light!

 Chapter 2316 - The Defeated Victor

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    On the chessboard, the original black pieces no longer had a way out.


    The white pieces occupied the entire territory, exterminating all of the black pieces!


    This also made clear to all that Medicine Ancestor created the entire chessboard world, and that it had nothing to do with Ye Yuan anymore.


    This was a dead end. Ye Yuan had no possibility of fighting back at all.


    But now, this black piece was like a nail, wedging into the boundary of the white pieces.


    Amidst the world full of white pieces, this black piece appeared so lonely. It looked so fragile, as if a candle flame flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.


    But looking closely, the place where this black piece stood was just right.


    The Tai Chi Diagram bloomed once more!


    The Tai Chi diagram this time was even more solid and even more elusive!


    Ye Yuan forcefully opened up a gap amidst the white pieces.


    ��Brilliant! Really too brilliant! This move is simply fabulous! Hahaha �� Old thing, the outcome is still unknown!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s eyes became brighter and brighter. Until the back, he actually clapped his hands and laughed loudly, saying to Medicine Ancestor.


    The alchemy path powerhouses outside Cloudheart Mountain were currently very disdainful toward Ye Yuan��s endless pestering at this time.


    Their skill was lacking and could not perceive the brilliance of this move at all.


    But those ancestor powerhouses were all incredibly shocked.


    This move was too brilliant, forcefully finding a way out from amidst a deathtrap, it could be said to be being snatched from the jaws of death.


    Looking at the entire game, this was the only way out.


    Ye Yuan making this move, everything looked like as it ought to be.


    But finding this ray of hope in this deathtrap was seriously far too difficult.


    One had to know, even Medicine Ancestor himself did not discover this ray of hope.


    Hence, after he landed his piece, he left with his hands behind his back. He already determined that he won.


    Wanting to find this glimmer of hope required an extremely keen perception of Dao, required an extremely deep understanding of Alchemy Dao, and required exceedingly terrifying insight.


    Not one could be missing!


    Everyone present did not discover this glimmer of hope, but Ye Yuan discovered it.


    This showed that in some aspects, Ye Yuan already surpassed everyone present.


    Medicine Ancestor��s expression already explained everything.


    ��He really did it! This boy is simply amazing!��


    ��Taking this step, this battle has become complicated and confusing! Who wins and who loses will be hard to say!��


    ��This battle, regardless of win or lose, Ye Yuan is the biggest winner! His Dao will surely improve further!��


    �� ��


    The ancestors sighed endlessly in amazement, not stinting with praises toward Ye Yuan.


    Saying that this move startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep was also not an exaggeration.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao would become even more complete because of this move.


    ��Please.��


    Above the void, Ye Yuan used a hoarse voice and said to Medicine Ancestor.


    While around him, the power of Great Dao suddenly became much more vigorous.


    And his withered physical body became fleshed out anew under the nourishment of the power of Great Dao.


    Medicine Ancestor��s two eyes narrowed and he arrived above the void once more.


    The enormous Medicine Ancestor appeared once again!


    Below Cloudheart Mountain, a huge commotion stirred.


    Medicine Ancestor leaving indicated that this game was over.


    Returning anew meant that this piece forced him to continue!


    Medicine Ancestor had his face slapped by this piece!


    The shock that this scene gave everyone could be imagined.


    It was just that they could not understand what kind of storm this piece could set off.


    Pah!


    Medicine Ancestor landed a piece, the great battle was back on!


    The Tai Chi diagram trembled violently and became much dimmer all of a sudden.


    But this time, it did not extinguish!


    Ye Yuan��s Tai Chi diagram actually resisted Medicine Ancestor��s powerful attack!


    Outside Cloudheart Mountain, a huge shock was set off once more.


    ��What in the world is going on? Why did Second Sage become so stronger all of a sudden?��


    ��Already reached this stage, could he really carry on competing?��


    ��My God, could it be that Second Sage��s legend is still continuing high? This alchemy world is going to change heavens?��


    �� ��


    Pah!


    This time, Ye Yuan��s piece was similarly extremely fast.


    Pah!


    Medicine Ancestor suppressed once more!


    The two people, coming and going, one piece after another, killing until they were locked in a struggle.


    Amidst everyone��s cries of exclamations, the territory of the black pieces became bigger and bigger. The Tai Chi diagram became more and more stable!


    That single black piece was like a fire that set the prairie ablaze, igniting the entire heaven and earth chess game.


    The two people unfolded an incomparably intense territory war in the area, fighting until they were locked in a struggle for an inch of ground.


    Of course, Medicine Ancestor was still Medicine Ancestor.


    His strength was still unstoppable.


    But the current Ye Yuan was not without the strength to fight back as before anymore.


    The ancestors held their breaths, looking at the power of Great Dao above the void surging, each and every one incomparably shocked.


    No one could have expected that the situation would actually develop to this point.


    ��Remarkable, truly remarkable! Ye Yuan already gained a firm foothold and started snatching territory from Medicine Ancestor!��


    ��Ye Yuan isn��t as overbearing as Medicine Ancestor, but his Dao seems to have a kind of miraculous magical power. His strength is clearly not strong, but he can always defeat the strong as the weak.��


    ��I also have a feeling that the Dao which that Tai Chi diagram represents, seems to be extremely profound, and is more in line with Heavenly Dao.��


    �� ��


    After Ye Yuan met with life in a desperate situation, it was as if he changed into a different person.


    Clearly, this battle was tremendously beneficial to Ye Yuan.


    One piece after another, the two people were locked in a struggle.


    Finally, Ye Yuan��s last piece landed.


    Game end!


    Gulp!


    Everyone could not resist swallowing their saliva. There was death-like silence.


    Ye Yuan actually forced Medicine Ancestor to this point!


    ��This �� My eyes aren��t failing me, right? This reversal is also too terrifying!��


    ��It��s really a big counterattack! Clearly already fell completely, he actually turned it around to such a situation.��


    ��A pity! Truly a shame! Just a little bit more!��


    �� ��


    Outside Cloudheart Mountain, it all exploded.


    For the first 100 years, Ye Yuan was suppressed until he could not even raise his head.


    In the end, in less than one month��s time, Ye Yuan actually unleashed a storm-like counterattack, forcefully turning the situation around to this point.


    Above the heaven and earth chessboard, the territory that the black pieces and white pieces occupied were almost exactly the same.


    Got to admit, Ye Yuan��s shocking counterattack was to one��s heart��s content, giving people an unparalleled sense of satisfaction.


    Those people who looked down on Ye Yuan, ridiculed Ye Yuan, they were now all virtually cheering for Ye Yuan toward the back.


    ��Difference of half a point! A difference of half a point! Hahaha �� this boy, really �� hahaha �� too incredible! It��s too shocking!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest clapped his hands and laughed loudly, earnestly from ear to ear.


    Ye Yuan lost by a difference of half a point!


    But no one felt that he lost!


    From the defeat at the start to absolute counterattack, killing until he only lost by half a point, Ye Yuan was today��s well-deserving victor.


    Ye Yuan and Medicine Ancestor walked over leisurely, landed on the cloud platform.


    The current Ye Yuan had long already recovered fully and became even more profound. Even many ancestors felt that they could not quite see through him anymore.


    ��This battle, Young Friend Ye really broadened the horizons of the world!��


    Medicine Ancestor opened both eyes and stared at Ye Yuan as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Many thanks to Medicine Ancestor for helping me achieve my aim, letting this Ye take fewer detours. You gave Senior Sacred Ancestor ��Ask Not�� two words after fighting with him. Today, why not �� give this Ye two words too?��

 Chapter 2317 - Explosive Situation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    The short old man opened both eyes and kept sizing Ye Yuan up as if wanting to see through him.


    ��Haha, how many years has it been? It��s still this old man��s first time seeing you, this fellow, open your eyes. Looks like you, this old thing, really got scared,�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a loud laugh.


    Medicine Ancestor did not have overly strong emotion fluctuations. He just kept looking at Ye Yuan.


    After a long time, Medicine Ancestor suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��This game had let this ancestor find someone of the same Dao! Why not call this game ��Toward Dao,�� how about it?��


    Everyone nodded their heads one after another, deeply feeling that way too.


    Second Sage was too terrifying!


    After this battle, Ye Yuan shall stand at the summit of the alchemy path along with Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and pursue that fleeting and ephemeral Dao pill.


    In this battle, Ye Yuan counterattacked and lost slightly to Medicine Ancestor with a difference of half a point. He shall become a myth of the alchemy path and shock the world!


    Someone of the same Dao, it was well-deserved!


    ��Toward Dao? Huhu, rather fitting, but �� do you really know what Dao is?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Medicine Ancestor��s laughter abruptly ceased, and he said with a frown, ��What do you mean by this?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You understand.��


    Surprise finally showed on Medicine Ancestor��s eternally unchanging face at this time.


    ��You �� You touched the power of law. This is impossible!�� Medicine Ancestor said.


    ��Whether I touched the power of law or not, I��m not clear, but I definitely saw something that you didn��t see. Someone of the same Dao? Perhaps �� you��re not worthy.��


    When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.


    In this world, how many people wanted to be associated with the Medicine Ancestor but could not?


    But Ye Yuan said that Medicine Ancestor was not worthy of being associated with him.


    This sentence was too shocking.


    Was it Ye Yuan being arrogant? Or did he really see something different?


    It was not just Medicine Ancestor. Sacred Ancestor High Priest and the various ancestors, each person��s face revealed an extremely solemn expression.


    Where Dao was at, was where the heart yearned.


    The people present, as long as they reached the realm of an old ancestor, who did not want to comprehend the true Dao pill?


    It was just a pity that this step was far too difficult. Even Medicine Ancestor this kind of amazing talent expended a trillion years and was also unable to reach this step.


    But this young man in front of him said that he saw this step, how could it not surprise people?


    Medicine Ancestor��s two eyes narrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you want to confuse my Dao heart?��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Believing or not is up to you. It��s just that I��m not worthy of same Dao these two words. Senior Sacred Ancestor, let��s go.��


    The few people were just about to leave when Medicine Ancestor��s figure shook, and he already blocked in front of them.


    ��Not explaining this matter clearly, nobody can think about leaving,�� Medicine Ancestor said in a solemn voice.


    The allure of Dao was too strong. Even Medicine Ancestor, this level of existence, was unable to resist this temptation too.


    It was still alright if Ye Yuan did not speak. With him saying it, it immediately whetted everyone��s gluttonous bugs. Especially Medicine Ancestor this kind of existence, how could he easily let him leave?


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest smiled contemptuously and said, ��Old thing, I��m not as good as you in Alchemy Dao, but in Martial Dao, this emperor isn��t afraid of you! If you want this Cloudheart Realm to fall apart to pieces, feel free to make a move!��


    In Martial Dao, Sacred Ancestor High Priest and Medicine Ancestor were both Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses, their strength utterly formidable.


    Once this level of powerhouse made a move, how could Cloudheart Realm withstand it?


    Medicine Ancestor��s face fell and said, ��If Cloudheart Realm is gone, then it��s gone. Can��t this ancestor build another one? Today, this kid must stay!��


    For a moment, it became dangerously explosive.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s brows furrowed slightly. It seemed like Medicine Ancestor this fellow was really going all out.


    Right at this time, a few large openings suddenly fissured open above the void.


    Countless figures poured out of the large mouth.


    Accurately speaking, they were not humanoid figures, but a dense swath of ferocious-looking monsters.


    In front of those monsters were a group of powerhouses that were identical to humans.


    It was just that the aura emitting from their bodies was very different from humans.


    Ye Yuan��s whole body shuddered fiercely, looking at those figures above the void in shock.


    He was all too familiar with these guys.


    Divine race and abyss monsters!


    The divine race came into being so quickly?


    ��How did they come into being so quickly? Furthermore, they were suppressed in the Abyss World by several great sovereign demons, why would they appear in the Heavenspan World without a sound?�� Ye Yuan said in shock.


    The divine race and abyss monsters appearing here were seriously too surprising.


    Right now, Cloudheart Realm was already completely surrounded. All of the alchemy path powerhouses became turtles in a jar. This was not a good sign.


    The one in the lead was a man with yellow hair.


    The man stood with his hands behind his back, with a kind of haughtiness that showed disdain upon the world.


    He did not deliberately release his pressure, but Ye Yuan felt the exact same aura as Daymeld from him.


    This person was a progenitor-level powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan��s mind revolved like lightning. With the divine race coming here, they had likely planned for a long time.


    ��Huhu, everyone��s here, how lively!�� The man with yellow hair stood in the air as he said with a light laugh.


    It was just that the words were full of contempt.


    Medicine Ancestor��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who are you fellow guests? To dare be impudent in my Cloudheart Realm, are you tired of living?��


    Medicine Ancestor felt an extremely strong threat from the yellow-haired man��s body.


    Therefore, he did not make a move right away to kill the enemy but gave a warning.


    Clearly, Medicine Ancestor was also not clear about the divine race��s origin.


    The yellow-haired man did not care about Medicine Ancestor��s warning at all but looked toward the Ye Yuan in the crowd.


    All of Ye Yuan��s hair stood on its end, his entire person about to suffocate.


    This glance was too terrifying!


    ��Kid, you tell them who this ancestor is,�� the yellow-haired man said calmly1.


    Everyone looked towards Ye Yuan, uncertain what it meant.


    Someone immediately asked, ��Second Sage, you know where these reckless and blind guys are from?��


    Ye Yuan did not answer, he just looked at the yellow-haired man and said in a solemn voice, ��Which lineage are you from?��


    The yellow-haired man laughed lightly and said, ��This ancestor is the Profound Lineage��s third ancestor, Originguard. Kid, you��re very good, you could forcefully beat Nineorigin that kid down a boundary at the realm of Empyrean, impressive! This ancestor will only ask once. Are you willing to submit to my divine race?��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. This yellow-haired man was actually a Profound Lineage��s ancestor!


    This Profound Lineage actually appeared in the Heavenspan World without a sound, how could he not be shocked?


    It was just that what he felt even more was fury.


    It was precisely the Profound Lineage that forcefully separated him and Yue Mengli!


    Rumble!


    A monstrous rage rose from Ye Yuan��s body.


    His two eyes were practically wanted to spew fire as he said with a sneer, ��Submit? Just the likes of your trash races? Heh heh, divine race �� I really don��t know how you guys have the face to call yourselves this name! Hand Li-er over, otherwise, I��ll trample your divine race one day!��


    Originguard did not get angry and said with a faint smile, ��Divine Daughter is extraordinarily gifted. When she stands before you again, you��ll get a big surprise!��


    ��Just what was going on here?��


    ��What are they talking about? What divine race, what Divine Daughter, completely never heard before!��


    ��Being long-winded with them for what? A bunch of guys playing tricks, just directly finish them off!��


    �� ��


    They completely did not know about the divine race��s strength, each and every one ignorant and fearless, and were about to rush over.

 Chapter 2318 - Declined Human Race Alchemy Dao!

    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold, killing intent billowing to the sky.


    But Originguard smiled faintly and said, ��Angry? I know that your talent is amazing, you can even jump levels to defeat Nineorigin. It��s just that �� you��re still just an ant! In this great world, the ones who really dominate are all us, the top powerhouses!��


    Medicine Ancestor��s gaze turned slightly sullen and he said in a cold voice, ��Who on earth is your esteemed self? If you still don��t say it, this ancestor is going to be impolite!��


    Originguard gave him a glance, shook his head, and said, ��You��re the current human race��s alchemy path��s number one person? Too weak!��


    Medicine Ancestor narrowed his eyes and said coolly, ��Shamelessly boasting! Does a trash like you even understand what Alchemy Dao is?��


    Originguard did not explain either. He just smiled faintly, and then he held his palm up. A crystal-like ball appeared in his palm.


    When Medicine Ancestor, Ye Yuan, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, and the rest saw this scene, each and every one of their pupils constricted.


    Originguard��s move was clearly developing a world with Alchemy Dao. It was extremely brilliant.


    This level of means was absolutely in the same class as Medicine Ancestor, an existence who was not inferior to Medicine Ancestor in the slightest.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was truly incomparably shocked.


    He did not expect that the divine race actually still had this kind of heaven-defying existence.


    The others were similarly shocked. They had never heard before that the Heavenspan World still had an existence that could rival the Medicine Ancestor.


    Where did this guy pop out from?


    ��Do you guys think whether or not this ancestor understands what Alchemy Dao is?�� Originguard said with a faint smile.


    Medicine Ancestor had a shocked face as he said, ��You �� Who the hell are you?��


    ��This ancestor thought that even if the human race��s Alchemy Dao didn��t recover to its peak state, there��s at least 70% to 80% strength too. I heard that there��s an alchemy conference here. That��s why I��d come here to wipe out the Alchemy Dao powerhouses. But �� you guys disappoint this ancestor too much! Your current strength is really too weak compared to the human race��s heyday period!��


    Originguard��s words carried thick disappointment, clearly feeling that he somewhat made a big fuss over nothing.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he said, ��You want to make use of this opportunity and round the human race alchemy powerhouses in one fell swoop, cutting off the human race��s reinforcement force!��


    Originguard smiled faintly and said, ��That��s right. You��re very clever. During the last Doomsday Battle, the human race��s alchemy path powerhouses gave us huge problems. If not for those few old fellows, continuously delivering medicinal pills, we wouldn��t have failed at all. Hence, this ancestor naturally won��t miss this opportunity that only comes once in a blue moon. It��s just a shame that looking at it now, this ancestor made too much of a fuss over nothing.��


    Everyone was shocked, becoming speechless.


    ��Doomsday Battle? What��s that?��


    ��Shamelessly boasting thing! Just the likes of these few guys also want to destroy the world?��


    ��Reckless and blind thing, bringing a bunch of swarthy-looking monsters and you want to destroy the world?��


    �� ��


    Doomsday Battle, this sort of thing, the vast majority of the people present never heard of it before.


    The name sounded frightening, but without truly experiencing this kind of battle, who would really pay attention to this name.


    However, some old fellows with very high seniority had clearly heard of this thing before, each and every one of their expressions becoming very ugly.


    ��All shut up for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, interrupting everyone��s discussion, and said in a solemn voice, ��Put away your arrogance! These guys are very strong! Want to get out alive, put away your sectarian views, and everyone work together and be of one mind! Otherwise, not a single one can escape.��


    Towards this, the vast majority of the people were very disdainful.


    Their arrogance already penetrated deep into the marrow. Why would they care about a bunch of guys that they had never heard of before?


    Originguard smiled faintly and said, ��Looks like my divine race hasn��t come into being for too long already. You humans have already forgotten who is the true master of the Heavenspan World! Today, let the Heavenspan World tremble!��


    It was only to see him make a gesture, causing the divine race to bring out the abyss monsters, and then they charged over.


    For a moment, a dense mass charged over, shocking heaven and earth!


    When the powerhouses who came to take part in the Myriad Region Alchemy Conference saw such a line-up, their faces also could not quite help changing.


    ��Just a bunch of monsters! Everyone, attack together and exterminate them!��


    Someone shouted in the crowd.


    This suggestion immediately got everyone��s response.


    For a moment, one terrifying attack after another shot over toward above the void.


    Above the sky, all kinds of terrifying martial techniques roared over, rumbling noises sounding out all around.


    Except, these attacks were extremely scattered and undisciplined. The commotion seemed big, but actually, it did not pose lethality at all.


    In such a large-scale battle, an individual��s strength was infinitely weakened.


    Moreover, the strength of abyss monsters was far superior to same rank humans.


    In this first wave attack, the abyss monsters actually directly resisted it. Furthermore, the losses were not severe.


    When the human race powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of their expressions changed drastically.


    While at this time, the abyss monsters�� first wave attack also arrived.


    One wave of attack after another fired into the crowd neat and tidily, and exploded apart.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The explosion sounds lingered on incessantly. Screams linked up together.


    This wave of attacks made the human race powerhouses suffer heavy losses.


    And in this short while, both sides were already fighting in close quarters, clashing together.


    The moment they clashed, the human race powerhouses discovered that something was wrong.


    The opponents were too strong!


    The abyss monsters that they looked down on were all extremely powerful. Furthermore, their skin was coarse and their flesh thick, with their defensive power being extremely strong. It needed three or four people to join forces to face the enemy before they could barely manage to block it.


    It was just that that way, the human race��s manpower became severely inadequate.


    While the divine race��s powerhouses went even more without saying.


    The moment they entered the battle, it was like tigers entering a flock of sheep, the lethality being extremely great.


    The name of the divine race was displayed in its entirety at this moment!


    ��How could they be so strong? This �� This kind of combat strength is on a completely different level!��


    ��Is this the divine race? They don��t have world power at all! So what they are using is the power of Heavenly Dao!��


    ��The Heavenspan World has such a powerful race? Why have I never heard of them before?��


    �� ��


    The human powerhouses were finally shocked!


    Only at this time did they know that Ye Yuan did not warn them for nothing.


    In fact, the divine race��s might was even greater than Ye Yuan said!


    At this time, their gazes when looking toward Originguard became different.


    If those ordinary divine race members were already so strong, then what about this progenitor-level powerhouse?


    The human powerhouses were all akin to facing a great enemy, going on careful alert one after another.


    Originguard smiled faintly and said, ��Looks like you all already understand what��s the divine race. My divine race is the race chosen by the heavens; only cultivating Heavenly Dao! Before the previous epoch, it had always been our divine race ruling the Heavenspan World. Regardless of whether your human race, demon race, or other races, you were all our slaves! And today, we��re going to take back all that we lost!��


    Everyone turned greatly pale from fright, all incomparably shocked.


    The divine race was actually the former ruler!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    All of a sudden, many human powerhouses backed out, shuttling into the void, attempting to escape Cloudheart Realm.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Don��t run away! The void must have already been locked!��


    His voice had yet to fade when several dead bodies fell down from the void, looking utterly ghastly.


    Originguard smiled lightly and said, ��Don��t think about escaping. There are 36 thousand Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses in the void outside of Cloudheart Realm, casting the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art! Even Deva Fourth Blights can forget about escaping here too! Kid, you��re really a talent, it��s just a shame that �� you can��t be used by us!��

 Chapter 2319 - Powerful Originguard!

    ��Yuan Xiu, Yuan Shi, the two of you lead two teams of abyss monsters to deal with that brat. Don��t think about capturing him. You guys can��t capture him. Just directly kill him!�� Originguard looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and said coolly.


    Yuan Xiu and Yuan Shi were two middle-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses. The two small squads of abyss monsters that they brought were shockingly middle-stage Heavenly Emperor Realm too.


    When the human powerhouses saw this line-up, each and every one of them was stunned.


    These two squads could sweep away any Heavenly Emperor powerhouse already, but they were deployed to deal with the initial-stage Heavenly Emperor Ye Yuan.


    It could be seen from this how highly Originguard regarded Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his figure swaying, suddenly disappearing from where he was.


    When he appeared again, he already arrived outside Cloudheart Mountain.


    Amidst the chaotic battle, Yun Yi, Ning Siyu, and the rest were currently being besieged by the abyss monsters.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that the ones currently guarding by Yun Yi two people��s sides were Empyrean Pilljade and Empyrean Flutterfeather.


    Especially Empyrean Pilljade, he was covered in blood all over, with his aura being weak. He had already received severe injuries.


    And beside him, there were still quite a number of peak Empyrean abyss monsters.


    Of course, Flutterfeather was also not much better than him.


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, there were immediately Heavenly Emperor Realm abyss monsters that charged over.


    He did not hesitate in the slightest, sword intent surging, instantly one-shotting several Heavenly Emperor abyss monsters.


    More than a dozen streaks of sword energy suddenly descended. Those abyss monsters besieging Yun Yi and the rest were instantly sliced into countless pieces.


    Whoosh, whoosh!


    Several medicinal pills flew toward Flutterfeather and Pilljade.


    When the two saw Ye Yuan, they immediately saw the dawn of hope.


    Without the least bit of hesitation, they swallowed the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan tossed over.


    The effects were instantly seen!


    Suddenly, Empyrean Pilljade��s entire body trembled, the Heavenly Emperor Realm that had blocked him for many years finally loosened at this moment!


    What Ye Yuan gave him to eat was not the Nine Profounds Heavenly Emperor Pill, it was just an ordinary healing medicinal pill.


    But this medicinal pill was a spiritlink divine pill!


    Empyrean Pilljade knew that he was half a step away from Heavenly Emperor to begin with. Under the catalysis of the Dao accumulations inside the spiritlink divine pill, he finally broke the fetters and broke through to Heavenly Emperor!


    Ye Yuan��s fingertips moved, instantly forming a formation, protecting Yun Yi and the rest inside the array formation.


    ��You guys wait inside the grand array! Don��t go anywhere!��


    Ye Yuan dropped these few words coolly while his figure turning around, and he met with the two squads led by Yuan Xiu and Yuan Shi.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    A thousand flying swords suddenly appeared, sweeping toward the two squads.


    These two squads had a total of more than 20 middle-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    Furthermore, they were not human race powerhouses, but divine race and abyss monsters.


    This combat power was significantly stronger than 20 over Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    However, after Ye Yuan broke through to World Realm, how much stronger was the power of his sword formation?


    He maneuvered the sword formation and could actually withstand the attacks of the two squads!


    It was just a shame that these over 20 people were seriously too strong. Under their teaming up, the sword formation was in imminent danger.


    Seeing this scene, the human powerhouses were all dumbfounded with amazement.


    Ye Yuan actually blocked so many divine race members and abyss monsters by himself. Was this guy still human?


    Previously, they all looked down on the divine race and felt that the abyss monsters were ugly and lowly. But after exchanging blows now, they were deeply aware of these two mighty race��s power!


    One on one was simply an extravagant hope.


    But Ye Yuan jumped realms and blocked so many powerhouses. This was too shocking.


    While at this time, they also deeply realized why Originguard regarded Ye Yuan so highly.


    This guy was much more monstrous than even the race chosen by heaven, the divine race!


    ��Manpower is so tight. Yet Progenitor Originguard still let us form two squads to come and kill him. I was still very disdainful about this previously. Now, this Ye Yuan really broadened my horizons!�� Yuan Xiu said in shock.


    ��Really too strong! No wonder after Divine Son returned, he entered the Megadeath Cave without a word. Looks like he was really triggered!�� Yuan Shi said.


    ��Hold steady first. Don��t be in a rush to kill him! After the lord got the opportunity, it won��t be late to kill him then.�� Yuan Xiu said.


    Yuan Shi nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too.


    Ye Yuan making a move shocked everyone.


    �� ��


    Originguard looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and clicked his tongue in wonder as he praised, ��This kid is really strong! I don��t know how he cultivates up till now. A mere human actually cultivated to such a realm. This is truly astonishing! If he��s given another 5000 years, I��m afraid that my divine race will have to turtle up inside the Abyss World forever!��


    Ye Yuan��s combat power made people sigh with admiration.


    If not for Nineorigin being beaten until that state, Originguard would never have believed that the human race actually produced such a monstrous freak.


    The race chosen by heaven was actually beaten by a human!


    When Medicine Ancestor saw Ye Yuan��s combat strength, his eyes also revealed a look of astonishment.


    ��Divine race is it? Truly a surprising race! This ancestor wants to see how much capability you have!��


    Medicine Ancestor��s gaze turned dark, an earthshaking imposing aura surged to the sky.


    Originguard smiled faintly and said, ��You alone isn��t enough. The two of you attack together!��


    Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest were the two strongest people among the humans present; both Deva Fourth Blight supreme powerhouses[1].


    Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest exchanged a glance, and actually reached a rare unanimous conclusion.


    Rumble!


    Medicine Ancestor pushed a palm out, heaven and earth instantly changed colors.


    The incredibly strong source power gushed out of his palm.


    Cloudheart Mountain instantly turned to ashes at this moment!


    The spiritual veins were severed, mountains and rivers shattering.


    The seemingly played-down palm had the power to destroy heaven and decimate the earth.


    This was the power of a Deva Fourth Blight supreme powerhouse!


    At the same time, Wing also threw a punch out.


    Space was like glass, countless cracks instantly fissuring apart.


    The entire Cloudheart Realm started trembling.


    Horrifying energy undulations scattered everywhere, anything that came into the slightest contact with it, instantly turned to ashes!


    Great Dao was simple!


    These two supreme powerhouses did not have any flashy martial technique, but the moment they took action, it obliterated the heaven and destroyed the earth.


    Cloudheart Realm was singlehandedly founded by Medicine Ancestor, this realm was extremely sturdy.


    But under the power of such powerhouses, it could not stand up to a single blow at all.


    The Ye Yuan in the midst of fierce fighting also felt shocked. No wonder it could be called Doomsday Battle.


    The fight of such powerhouses was simply too terrifying.


    If a bunch of such powerhouses fought, even the Heavenspan World would also be fought until it broke to pieces.


    Outside Cloudheart Mountain, powerhouses were fleeing one after another. How could they still care about fighting?


    Opposite of them, Originguard beamed and said, ��Not bad, not bad. Alchemy Dao can��t make it, but Martial Dao is worth seeing. It��s just a shame that who you guys are facing is this ancestor!��


    Done talking, the Dao marks on his body released a breathtaking blue light.


    A Great Dao aura that towered above all life suddenly erupted.


    This eruption actually suppressed both great Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses with his strength alone!


    ��Detonate!��


    Originguard bellowed, the void exploded!


    A huge amount of energy exploded together with Medicine Ancestor two people.


    Except, this explosive force was too strong, and actually overshadowed the two great Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    The two supreme powerhouses tasted sweetness in their throats and actually spewed fresh blood wildly.


    The divine race��s ancestor actually overwhelmed two great Deva Fourth Blights with his power alone!


    This scene was too shocking.


    A feeling of despair spread in the hearts of all the human powerhouses.


    [1] Yeah, I know, Sacred Ancestor is from the demon race, but the raw text just says human.

 Chapter 2320 - Fatal Burst!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This is impossible! How can he be so strong?��


    ��A Deva Fourth Blight is a sovereign-level powerhouse! Two great sovereigns joining hands are actually not the match of the divine race powerhouse?��


    ��No wonder they said that the divine race was once the Heavenspan World��s ruler. Looking at it now, it isn��t fake! This kind of strength is simply appalling!��


    �� ��


    Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses were god-like existences in their hearts, dominating the entire Heavenspan World.


    However, the appearance of the divine race progenitor completely subverted their understanding.


    In just this short while, they already believed that the divine race was the race chosen by heaven.


    Wing spat a mouthful of blood and said with a smile, ��Old thing, this guy is really strong, let��s not hold back anymore and bring out our true ability.��


    Medicine Ancestor nodded slightly. Suddenly, the bones all over his body made clicking sounds.


    The originally emaciated like a stick and short Medicine Ancestor actually slowly turned into a handsome young man.


    ��Hahaha, you, this old thing, conserved strength and stored up energy, looks like you��re still not confident in passing Deva Fifth Blight.�� Wing smiled brightly.


    Medicine Ancestor gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Deva Fifth Blight is a life and death tribulation. How many people are confident in being able to transcend it? Originally, after this battle, this ancestor planned on comprehending Dao afterward and planned to transcend the tribulation!��


    This battle had greatly benefited Ye Yuan, but it was likewise greatly beneficial to Medicine Ancestor.


    With Medicine Ancestor��s talent and strength, gaining enlightenment on Dao was not impossible.


    ��Old dog, your turn!�� Medicine Ancestor looked at Wing and said.


    Wing laughed loudly, his entire person suddenly became smaller.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually turned into a large black dog!


    The large black dog had shiny fur, two large ears drooping down. But the two eyes were brimming with radiating vigor, revealing a murderous light.


    Only then did everyone know that it turns out that Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s original body was actually a large black dog.


    But after transforming, Sacred Ancestor High Priest seemed to be even more aggressive.


    Originguard��s gaze was scorching as he said, ��Turns out that it��s the descendant of a Dragon Dog. No wonder you have such strength. The Dragon Dog Clan back then was an existence on par with the demon race��s Eight Great Sacred Lineages. Except, they rebelled against the divine race together with the human race, and they were crushed. I didn��t expect that there are still remnant spawns existing in this world.��


    Large black dog Wing��s entire body trembled, and he said in alarm and anger, ��I was wondering why the Dragon Dog Clan declined until like this, turns out that it was actually done by your divine race! Then today, just nice, I��ll settle this score!��


    After he was done talking, people saw a black light fly through the sky and smash toward Originguard.


    At the same time, Medicine Ancestor also made a move in time, fighting together with Originguard.


    After these two people transformed, their strength indeed increased greatly.


    It was just a pity that Originguard��s strength was too strong. The two people teaming up still could not do anything to him.


    The three people fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, and the void shattered!


    Within a few rounds, Cloudheart Mountain this region of space already completely collapsed. Countless spatial turbulent flows swept inside.


    The originally pristine and beautiful Cloudheart Realm with mountains and rivers already turned into an asura battlefield. Countless Cloudheart Realm powerhouses perished, their Dao dissipating.


    But even so, Originguard still suppressed the two great Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses domineeringly.


    His strength was clearly a magnitude stronger than the two. Under the two people��s transformation, he could still handle the job with skill and ease.


    There was not just these three people��s peak battle; there were also many Deva Realm powerhouses among the progenitors present. Their great battle with the divine race similarly fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open.


    But the divine race prepared extremely well for this fight. It could be said that experts were abundant, the numbers were even more than the humans.


    This great battle was virtually one-sided. The human powerhouses fell one after another. The battle situation was extremely tragic.


    Ye Yuan��s side similarly fought extremely hard.


    His side could be said to be heavily focused. The experts besieging him were too many!


    What kind of concepts were these two squads?


    A small team of over 20 people was more than plenty to kill 50 same realm human powerhouses!


    Yes, it was to kill, not defeat!


    Killing and defeating were two completely different concepts.


    But it was such two squads that were used to deal with Ye Yuan alone. It could be seen how much importance the divine race attached to him.


    Ye Yuan��s sword formation danced seamlessly, it was just that the defensive circle got smaller and smaller.


    The opponent was seriously too strong, his realm was also too low.


    ��Double up, this kid almost can��t hold on anymore!�� Yuan Xiu said in great joy.


    The abyss monsters all became even more berserk. Ye Yuan��s pressure suddenly increased.


    ��No way! This bunch of guys are too strong. If I keep holding back, I��m afraid that the consequences will be hard to predict!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart sunk slightly, and Time Freeze suddenly erupted.


    ��Immobilize!��


    At virtually the same time, the Limitless God Killing Bow was already in his hand.


    The power of a Dao artifact made the faces of Yuan Xiu and the rest change suddenly.


    Bow arched, sword notched!


    20 over streaks of sword light disappeared in a flash, exploding on the bodies of Yuan Xiu and the rest.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The intense explosions instantly seriously wounded them.


    However, Yuan Xiu and the rest were too strong. Even though the Limitless God Killing Bow was strong, it was not enough to kill them.


    Ye Yuan did not stop, drawing the bow and notching his sword once more!


    The second attack was released again!


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Yuan Xiu and the rest did not have time to react and were hit again!


    Shooting twice, the Limitless God Killing Bow practically depleted his divine essence empty.


    A powerful strength naturally consumed a lot.


    Ye Yuan��s current divine essence thickness was comparable to a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    But even so, these two shots almost drained him dry too.


    However, it was not over yet!


    These divine race members and abyss monsters could not be disposed of with a few strokes.


    Ye Yuan pointed at the void repeatedly and actually directly refined a pill in the void!


    He scoured many spirit medicines from the Hidden Lineage. Using it to refine rank eight medicinal pills now was just nice.


    Ye Yuan did not bluff Medicine Ancestor. He really glimpsed the power of law in the battle this time!


    Refining rank eight divine pills at this time were accomplished with even higher proficiency.


    Between breaths, a medicinal pill formed!


    At this critical moment, Yuan Xiu they all would not give Ye Yuan the chance to refine pills at all.


    However, Ye Yuan directly gave up on the quality of the medicinal pills and simplified many refining techniques. They took shape in virtually a blink of an eye.


    But even so, the rank eight medicinal pills that he refined also reached purple spirit divine-grade.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan directly swallowed the medicinal pill and drew the bow and notched his sword one more time!


    Intense explosions sounded out once more.


    He refined again, shot again! Refined again, shot again!


    But even so, his speed of recovery could not keep up with the speed at which the Limitless God Killing Bow siphoned his strength too.


    After more than ten swords, Ye Yuan��s entire person became like a vampire, emaciated like a stick.


    Of course, Yuan Xiu��s two squads were virtually completely annihilated!


    The abyss monsters were completely eradicated. Yuan Xiu and Yuan Shi were seriously injured and on the verge of death.


    This scene shocked countless powerhouses!


    ��Matching the sword of source with a Dao artifact, unleashing more than ten sword moves in a row, jumping realms to kill more than 20 abyss monsters, and seriously injuring divine race members! What �� What kind of combat power is this?!��


    ��Instantly refining rank eight divine pills! I really don��t know what kind of realm he reached to be able to reach this level!��


    ��Too strong! Too strong! It��s just a shame that Second Sage��s strength is too weak! If he had Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor strength, he might really be able to bring us out!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s combat power did not just shock the humans, it even shocked the divine race powerhouses.


    The Divine race fighting against the humans, the battle had always been fought shorthanded.


    But Ye Yuan annihilated more than 20 abyss monsters alone and seriously injured divine race members.


    This combat power was too terrifying!

 Chapter 2321 - Killing God Ye Yuan!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Take his life while he��s down!��


    ��Kill this guy! He��s currently completely drained like a lamp without oil!��


    ��Don��t give him the chance to recover! Quickly kill him!��


    �� ��


    The current Ye Yuan was emaciated like a stick, seemingly like a dry corpse, looking alarming to the eyes.


    Releasing more than ten sword moves in a row, even if Ye Yuan swallowed quite a few medicinal pills, he was still squeezed dry.


    Even the flesh and blood of his body was practically sucked dry by the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    When many divine race powerhouses saw this scene, they immediately commanded abyss monsters to besiege Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, this was the optimal time to kill Ye Yuan.


    For a moment, countless powerhouses charged over toward Ye Yuan.


    The divine race powerhouses pouring over toward Ye Yuan this side immediately alleviated the pressure on the surrounding human powerhouses.


    Many human powerhouses heaved a sigh of relief one after another.


    Ye Yuan��s divine essence was already exhausted. He had no way of dealing with these divine race powerhouses and abyss monsters at all currently.


    But this did not stump him. It was only to see him snap his fingers repeatedly. A powerful protective array formation formed in virtually an instant.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Countless attacks landed on the array formation, emitting incomparably intense rumbles.


    The array formation gave off a dazzling light, blocking the attacks from all directions.


    Ye Yuan��s array formation was extremely stable. Even when facing such strong attacks, it was still incredibly stable.


    But more and more divine race powerhouses poured over toward his side, making the powerful array formation start faltering too.


    Inside the array formation, Ye Yuan built an array formation once more and started refining pills.


    This time, his speed clearly slowed down significantly, beginning to pursue quality.


    Those divine race powerhouses attacking the array formation were all very anxious.


    At this time, the advantage of alchemy path powerhouses was demonstrated.


    Ye Yuan, this terrifying alchemy path powerhouse, actually directly refined pills on the battlefield to recharge.


    This way, his ability to fight continuously was seriously too fearsome.


    Before the alchemy path declined, in the last Doomsday Battle, alchemy path powerhouses clearly unleashed tremendous capabilities, bringing huge problems to the divine race.


    Therefore, that was why Originguard did not scruple to pay a huge price to come to Cloudheart Realm and kill the alchemy path powerhouses here.


    But the commotion at Ye Yuan this side was seriously too great, drawing more and more divine race powerhouses and abyss monsters.


    Ye Yuan��s grand array also started to be in a precarious situation.


    After all, this was not a one-person battle, but a battle between populations, a super battle implicating tens of millions of people.


    ��Everyone, let��s go and protect Second Sage! With him around, our survivability will greatly increase.��


    ��That��s right! Second Sage��s combat power is extremely shocking, even above the divine race powerhouses. As long as he recovers his strength, our combat power will increase greatly.��


    ��Everybody, attack together! Alleviate Second Sage��s pressure! Let him be able to refine pills calmly.��


    �� ��


    The human powerhouses clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.


    If they allow Ye Yuan to attract the others�� attention at this time, after Ye Yuan was defeated, they still could not escape the fate of being killed.


    Hence, many human powerhouses swarmed over spontaneously, and they faced off against the divine race powerhouses and abyss monsters, alleviating Ye Yuan��s pressure.


    Inside the array formation, Ye Yuan sensed something, slowly opening his eyes.


    There were many human powerhouses around currently defending him tightly. Many people were even directly blown up by divine race powerhouses.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan��s countenance also could not help to visibly change because of this.


    In his impression, human powerhouses were all selfish and did not care about others.


    He did not expect that today, under a life-and-death situation, they actually took the initiative to come and help him.


    Sure, it was them doing it for their glimmer of hope. But at this time, them being able to let go of their sectarian views indeed broadened Ye Yuan��s horizons.


    Ye Yuan forcefully reined his mind and devoted his entire mind and body to the pill refinement process.


    At this time, him refining the medicinal pill at the fastest speed was the greatest repayment to the others.


    After several hours, a medicinal pill solidified inside the array formation.


    This was a Dao pill!


    While at this time, dead bodies were already lying all over the ground around Ye Yuan��s array formation.


    Many human powerhouses perished in order to protect him.


    Ye Yuan directly swallowed the medicinal pill without the slightest hesitation.


    After consuming the medicinal pill, Ye Yuan��s emaciated body immediately seemed to be filled with air, recovering to its original form very quickly.


    And his aura also skyrocketed, his cultivation realm directly rising by a lot.


    After a hundred years of accumulation, Cloudheart Realm��s powerful spiritual energy, plus the astonishing energy inside this Dao pill, Ye Yuan��s realm rose once more.


    His current realm was already equivalent to Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Ye Yuan walked out of the formation, a thousand over flying swords danced around him, the killing intent awe-inspiring.


    ��You guys have worked hard. Leave the rest to this Ye. You all follow this Ye, this Ye will take you all out!��


    While talking, the sword formation flew out. The places that it passed by reaped the lives of divine race powerhouses and abyss monsters without restraint.


    With Ye Yuan��s current realm coupled with his various powerful means, he looked down completely on middle-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan took the lead, opening up the way ahead, and the rest of the human powerhouses followed closely behind.


    With Ye Yuan opening up the path in front, the human powerhouses�� pressure fell sharply.


    After all, even if it was the divine race and abyss fiend race, the powerhouses that could reach late-stage Heavenly Emperor could be counted on one��s fingers too.


    This level of powerhouses, they all had their own opponents and could not divert too many people to deal with Ye Yuan and the people on his side.


    Furthermore, in this large-scale battle, the vast majority of the martial artists were all people with very low strength.


    The truly high-level combat power experts were just a minority after all.


    Originguard launching this war, the ones he was truly targeting were still the high-end combat powers like Medicine Ancestor and Wing. After all, their threat was much, much greater than Ye Yuan.


    Targeting Ye Yuan with the extravagant combat power of two squads was already thinking extremely highly of him.


    But very clearly, Originguard still underestimated Ye Yuan��s combat power. He borrowed the power of a Dao artifact and forcefully killed all of these two squads.


    Right now, the places where Ye Yuan passed through were akin to no man��s land.


    More than a thousand flying swords were like one sickle after another, reaping lives everywhere.


    The current Ye Yuan had long hair fluttering while killing people, akin to a killing god descending personally.


    The powerful divine race and abyss monsters were like lambs awaiting slaughter in front of Ye Yuan. They were unable to withstand the power of his one sword at all.


    Ye Yuan brought the humans guarding him and plugged into the divine race army like a sharp knife. Very soon, he slaughtered his enemies until the divine race army was in chaos.


    ��This guy is simply a killing god! He��s too strong! We can��t stop him!��


    ��Retreat! Quickly Retreat! This person is invincible!��


    ��This guy is too strong! We��re not a match at all! Quickly go request for the lords to come over!��


    �� ��


    More and more humans gathered around Ye Yuan, following him to break through.


    In the previous battle, the human powerhouses suffered heavy losses, casualties nearing half.


    But at present, after Ye Yuan joined the battle royale, the situation instantly reversed.


    Ye Yuan alone was like a fighting machine, steamrolling over all the way.


    His strength was sufficiently strong and he would not be overly cautious because of the other party��s strength.


    For a moment, the balance of the war actually started leaning toward the humans!

 Chapter 2322 - Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Two armies fighting, the general could often play a decisive factor.


    A brave general could kill several rounds in the enemy army, directly killing until the other side��s camp was in chaos.


    This point was similarly suitable in large-scale martial artist battles.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan was such a person.


    Originally, the divine race had too many of such people, killing in and out of the human camp, akin to a no man��s land.


    But now, the situation suddenly switched.


    Ye Yuan rushed all the way and was similarly akin to no man��s land!


    The divine race was strong, but Ye Yuan was stronger!


    Very soon, Ye Yuan brought the human army and directly killed his way through.


    The divine race army suffered heavy casualties.


    It was originally a one-sided massacre on the human race by the divine race. But now, it reversed, becoming the human race��s one-sided slaughter against the divine race.


    It was not that the humans�� strength increased, but that the humans now had a pillar. Everyone��s cohesion became different from before.


    A single chopstick was easily snapped; ten pairs of chopsticks would hold strong. It was this logic.


    The humans were in a state of disunity previously, each fighting for themselves. There was no way to band together like strands of rope at all.


    But now, all the humans gathered around Ye Yuan, they viewed Ye Yuan as their spiritual leader.


    Wherever Ye Yuan fought, they would follow suit. Everyone had a clear goal.


    Therefore, their combat power rose straight up!


    At this time, the entire Cloudheart Realm was already reduced to rubble. Whatever Feather Mountain, Cloudheart Mountain, Cloud Summer Mountain, all had long already turned to ashes at this time.


    The entire Cloudheart Realm, the void shattered. The realm was already reduced to shambles.


    One had to know, the alchemy path powerhouses who came to Cloudheart Realm this time, a large majority of them were Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.


    This level of a powerhouse, the moment they made their move, it would be earth-shattering. Let alone that there was still Originguard and Medicine Ancestor, this kind of sovereign level powerhouses.


    Space shattered bit by bit, the entire Cloudheart Realm gradually collapsed completely.


    At this time, everyone was already fighting in the dark spatial turbulent flows.


    In the void, motes of starlight looked just like one bright star after another.


    These stars were connected in pairs, forming an enormous web, completely covering Cloudheart Realm.


    This was the divine race��s Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art. Several tens of thousands of divine race powerhouses already completely sealed off this region of space, everyone was unable to escape this region of starry sky.


    Ye Yuan did not lead the human army to rashly charge toward this starry web. Instead, he brought the human powerhouses to charge to and fro several times, killing until the divine race powerhouses were in a scattered mess.


    Even late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses did not dare to easily clash head-on too.


    Hence, more and more human powerhouses joined in, the human army was like a rolling snowball, growing larger the more it rowed.


    Many late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses also joined in, becoming the core power of this team.


    The powerhouses around Ye Yuan got more and more, and their cultivation realms got higher and higher.


    No matter how high their realms were, how strong their strength was, after joining, they would spontaneously take Ye Yuan as the center.


    A batch of late-stage Heavenly Emperor super powerhouses gathered around Ye Yuan. They followed Ye Yuan and charged everywhere, mowing down all resistance.


    Very soon, the divine race army was completely defeated. They fled in all directions, escaping in the direction of the starry web.


    Beside Ye Yuan, Ji Mo said, ��Lord Second Sage, the crux of the problem still lies on this starry web! The divine race��s strength is too strong. After those supreme powerhouses recover, we��re still turtles in a jar.��


    During the chaotic battle, Ji Mo also saw the army led by Ye Yuan. Hence, he immediately joined in.


    When he saw that Ye Yuan was the leader of this army, he also got a big shock.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was besieged by two middle-stage Heavenly Emperor squads previously.


    He knew that Ye Yuan��s strength was very strong, but under the besieging of such scale of powerhouses, he thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But who knew that not only did Ye Yuan not die, his strength improved even further instead.


    What was even more terrifying was that he actually led the human powerhouses and forcefully slaughtered out a bloody path.


    However, the crisis on hand had not been resolved yet. They were merely just ant-like existences in front of Originguard.


    Once the divine race��s Deva Realm powerhouses triumphed all-round, they would still be turtles in a jar.


    Ye Yuan nodded slowly and said, ��This Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art gained the essence of spatial law and is cast by several tens of thousands of Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses. Its power is unimaginable. To crack this spell, one must find the weak point of this technique. Otherwise, there��s no way to crack it at all.��


    Ji Mo was shocked and said, ��Second Sage is proficient in spatial law. Even you can��t crack it too?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This spell already touched the source power of spatial law. More than 30 thousand powerhouses each performed their own function, forming an extremely powerful ensemble. With my current spatial law attainments, it��s simply impossible to crack it.��


    When everyone heard this sentence, each and every one of their faces could not help turning ashen.


    Among so many human powerhouses, Ye Yuan��s spatial law attainments were the highest.


    Even he could not do anything, then the current situation could only be waiting for death.


    ��This �� Could it be that we can only wait for death?�� Ji Mo said absent-mindedly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ll go and challenge this spell, do what you can and leave the rest to heaven ����


    Ji Mo��s expression turned somber and he said, ��Second Sage, go ahead! Leave here to us! Unless I die, otherwise, I absolutely won��t let people come and disturb you!��


    When the Heavenly Emperors heard that, they echoed one after another.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly, took a step out, and sprinted straight towards the starry web.


    Arriving above the starry skin, a surge of powerful enchantment force pounced over head-on.


    Ye Yuan felt that this region of space was akin to a steel plate, unable to penetrate at all.


    Above the void, extremely powerful fluctuations even faintly exuded, akin to a sharp sword hanging high above, possibly dealing him a fatal blow at any time.


    Ye Yuan was proficient in spatial law and was deeply aware of spatial law��s prowess.


    It could attack when advancing, it could defend when retreating.


    It was extremely sharp when on offense, strong as iron when defending.


    Those few Heavenly Emperor powerhouses previously were garroted by the powerful spatial force. They could not even fight back!


    ��Heh, another one that came to die!��


    ��Love to see the despairing faces of these humans the most! Under the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, there��s absolutely no one who survives!��


    ��These humans probably don��t know that the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art is our true trump card!��


    �� ��


    When the group of divine race powerhouses saw Ye Yuan come over, they could not help revealing gloating expressions.


    They could not see what was happening inside at all from outside the void.


    As long as someone wanted to escape out of the void, they would give a fatal blow.


    Ye Yuan arrived below the starry net. Those divine race powerhouses were just about to launch an attack when Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.


    The position where he stopped was just right, the place that just happened to be out of reach of those divine race powerhouses.


    The divine race powerhouses were angered until they were almost stifled to the point of internal injuries.


    Ye Yuan stopped there, gazed upon this starry web, and carefully sized up the distance, feeling the spatial undulation of the starry web.


    Before long, he suddenly took a step out, entering the attack range of the divine race powerhouses.


    Suddenly, stars sparkled. Countless streams of flowing light scattered down like a meteor shower, landing where Ye Yuan was standing.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    After countless explosions, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly returned to where he was.


    All of the attacks failed!

 Chapter 2323 - Proceeding Without Hesitation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��How is this possible? He actually escaped!��


    ��Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art can easily annihilate even Deva Realm powerhouses, he actually escaped!��


    ��Who is this kid? How can he grasp such formidable spatial law?��


    �� ��


    When the divine race powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of them stared dumbfoundedly, disbelieving faces.


    Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was a spatial spell that a progenitor of the divine race created. Its power was unparalleled.


    With 36 thousand people casting the spell at the same time, it could produce a catalyzing effect, pushing the spatial law power to the level of source.


    One had to know, this was one of the supreme laws, spatial law.


    Reaching the level of source, what kind of horrifying power was that?


    But this young man in front of them actually dodged it.


    And at this time, a wisp of fresh blood was left behind at the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Even though he avoided all of the attacks, the powerful energy explosion still injured him.


    ��Well-deserving of being a source-level spell. Indeed, rather interesting!��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth smiled faintly, his figure moving, rushing toward the starry web once again.


    ��Humph! Reckless and blind thing, you want to pry into the profound mysteries of the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art? Then pay with your life as the price!�� Yuan Zhen looked at that figure and said with a cold smile.


    He was one of the 12 hubs of the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art and could mobilize the power of 3000 spaces, attacking the opponent.


    Of course, he had another identity. He was one of the Profound Lineage��s nine elders!


    Earlier, Ye Yuan escaped alive from under his hands. This made him feel very ashamed.


    He also saw through that Ye Yuan was attempting to find the weakness of the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, trying to burst out of here.


    Toward this sort of ridiculous behavior, he naturally scoffed in derision.


    It was only to see the spells in his hands continue moving. Terrifying Dao marks instantly ignited the space.


    In an instant, several thousand stars lit up, and an even more terrifying spatial attack greeted Ye Yuan.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The thunderous explosions flickered incessantly in the void, like fireworks going off, beautiful to the extreme.


    It was just that behind this beauty concealed terrifying murderous intent!


    ��Heh heh, Extreme Space Annihilation this move is a spatial attack with no dead angles! No matter how formidable your means, you��ll die without a doubt too!�� Yuan Zhen let out a cold laugh.


    ��Haha, well done, Lord Yuan Zhen!��


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen is well-deserving of being one of the nine elders, impressive!��


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen��s Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art is really becoming more and more complex!��


    �� ��


    Above the void, the praises of a group of divine race members came over.


    Killing a human with meager strength was not worth mentioning, but this Extreme Space Annihilation could not be executed casually.


    Under this move, even Deva Realm powerhouses would also turn to ashes!


    ��You guys, quickly look! That kid didn��t die! He �� He retreated again!��


    Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise.


    Everyone looked over and discovered that Ye Yuan was actually standing in the same place perfectly fine again since no idea when. It was as if nothing had happened.


    Yuan Zhen��s expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, ��This is impossible! Under Extreme Space Annihilation, how can he possibly escape? No, wait! He didn��t avoid it completely, he got injured!��


    He did not see it wrongly. Ye Yuan was really injured. Furthermore, the injuries were not light.


    Extreme Space Annihilation was too strong. Ye Yuan unleashed all of his abilities and still did not avoid it completely.


    One had to know, this spell was at the level of source. Its power was unimaginable.


    If not for Ye Yuan being proficient in spatial law, even if a Deva Realm powerhouse came, he would also have to die nursing a grievance!


    It was already extremely impressive for Ye Yuan to be able to escape alive.


    The current Ye Yuan was very wretched, coughing up blood in his mouth non-stop, already being severely injured.


    But this clearly did not stump Ye Yuan. He started refining pills to heal his injuries.


    Except, continuously shooting the Limitless God Killing Bow previously made him expend a large number of rank eight spirit medicines. He did not have many spirit medicines left at present.


    Rank eight spirit medicines were not cabbages, each one was extremely precious.


    If not for Ye Yuan ransacking the Hidden Lineage, it would have been impossible to obtain so many rank eight spirit medicines this time too.


    But even so, he did not have many ranks eight spirit medicines left on him.


    After Ye Yuan consumed the rank eight divine pill and recovered from his injuries, he challenged the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art again!


    This time, he did not charge from Yuan Zhen here but charged from other hubs.


    Without the slightest surprise, Ye Yuan was seriously wounded again.


    Feeling the terrifying undulations coming from the void, Ji Mo and the rest palpitated with anxiety and fear.


    These undulations were too terrifying!


    If it were them, god knows how many would have died already.


    Each time Ye Yuan ventured into the starry web, they were extremely worried, fearful that something would happen to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was currently the hope of all humans. If he died, it would basically sentence them to death.


    Being infected by Ye Yuan, the human powerhouses all dashed ahead regardless of their safety, desperately resisting the divine race army.


    ��Second Sage is dancing on the edge of the blade for us! We must protect him well!��


    ��Kill, kill, kill! Fight it out with this bunch of monsters!��


    ��Second Sage said before, he��ll definitely bring us out! Even if I die, I also won��t let this bunch of monsters charge over!��


    �� ��


    Without Ye Yuan, the divine race army staged a comeback again.


    It was just that this time, it was much more taxing on the humans.


    Behind them was Ye Yuan, they could not give way!


    Hence, they could only toughen their scalps and fight to the death!


    If someone in the front died, the back would continue replacing.


    Each and every one of them was undaunted and did not fear death, frenziedly resisting the divine race��s assault, refusing to take half a step back.


    The divine race powerhouses were all visibly moved, the combat power of the humans in their eyes was infinitely magnified, they were actually unable to enter.


    Very soon, the spirit medicines on Ye Yuan were depleted.


    But he still attacked the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art again and again.


    The injuries on his body got more and more severe, but he kept failing to find a breakthrough point.


    ��Haha �� Conceited and ignorant brat, so what even if you know spatial law? Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art is a source-level spell. No matter how you rack your brain, you can forget about escaping! Wait for death obediently!�� Yuan Zhen laughed loudly and said.


    ��Reckless and blind thing, see how long you can still persist!��


    ��Lowly human, your fate can only be death! Fool, you��re a mantis trying to stop a chariot!��


    �� ��


    Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was a super spell that was jointly cast by more than 30 thousand people. Ye Yuan was equivalent to facing 26 people by himself, what kind of difficulty was that?


    But he proceeded without hesitation!


    He attacked the starry web again and again, and the injuries on his body worsened again and again.


    He was covered in blood all over, his body already reaching its limit.


    But he was still persevering!


    Above the starry sky, waves of snickering came over, mocking him for overestimating his own ability.


    But Ye Yuan did not care.


    He said before, to bring these human powerhouses out, then he would definitely bring these people out!


    ��Kid, you come and challenge again if you have the capability! Next time, I��ll definitely make sure that you don��t make it back!��


    Yuan Zhen��s wild laughter came from above the void.


    Ye Yuan had already gone to and fro a hundred times, but they were not able to kill Ye Yuan all along.


    This in itself was a disgrace to them!


    In Ye Yuan��s current situation, if he challenged again, he would definitely die without a doubt!


    Swoosh!


    Yuan Zhen��s voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.


    He rushed the starry web once more!

 Chapter 2324 - Provocation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    A white phantom tore through the starry sky and went straight into the starry web.


    The white phantom glimmered, like a ghost, giving people an extremely strange feeling.


    ��Hahaha, bring it on! This time, I��ll send you on your way!��


    When Yuan Zhen saw Ye Yuan come over once more, he was not angry but was overjoyed instead.


    Ye Yuan challenged them continuously. Although he got seriously injured, it could still be regarded as that he retreated unscathed.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s approach of rushing looked like he was toying with them.


    No matter how your floodwaters surged, I remain steadfast and unmoved!


    The shame of the divine race powerhouses was successfully stirred up by Ye Yuan.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was facing 36 thousand people alone!


    ��Yuan Zhi, you and I team up to cast Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star. This time, we must eradicate this punk!�� Yuan Zhen said.


    Another one of the hubs, Yuan Zhi, immediately responded, ��Okay! This brat is too cocky. We must kill him this time!��


    The large-scale spell jointly cast by two great hubs, that was the combined strike of 6000 people!


    This level of power was simply terrifying to behold.


    Below the starry sky, an enormous cage suddenly descended, enveloping Ye Yuan all at once.


    Then, the entire cage was seen shattering into pieces, and space collapsed!


    Inside the cage, space shattered, forming one fragment after another, shimmering away like crystals. It was very beautiful.


    This was also the origin of the Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star.


    But this scene was endless despair when it landed into the eyes of the human powerhouses!


    ��Second Sage!��


    A feeling of sorrow spread in the human camp.


    The terrifying undulation coming from above the void made the human powerhouses quake in their boots.


    The power of the Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star was likely several times greater than before!


    Under those attacks previously, Ye Yuan already sustained serious injuries, let alone this time!


    They saw it clearly. Ye Yuan did not escape that region of space at all and that he was enveloped tightly by the Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star.


    Under such circumstances, Ye Yuan had no possibility of escaping at all.


    ��Hahaha �� this time, see if you still don��t die!��


    Yuan Zhen��s laughter came from above the void.


    ��Who asked you to show off! Who ask you to posture! This time, see how you still posture!��


    ��An ant-like human also dares to provoke the noble divine race?! Death isn��t regrettable!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s actions were actually merely in order to seek a path of survival. Even so, him assaulting the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art time and again looked more like posturing to the divine race.


    Killing Ye Yuan now was very satisfying in their view.


    But right at this time, amidst the luscious Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star, a white figure slowly walked out.


    All of the divine race immediately shut up!


    The faces full of mocking smiles turned into shock.


    This scene was too inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan was clearly already an arrow at the end of its flight previously. So how could he walk out of the Hell Suppressing Heavenly Star?


    This question echoed in the minds of all the divine race powerhouses.


    More importantly, this scene was too pretentious in the view of all the divine race powerhouses!


    When the human powerhouses saw this scene, they were incomparably roused.


    As long as Ye Yuan did not die, they had a glimmer of hope.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan took another step out and started moving about within the boundary of the starry web once again, the intent of provocation extremely strong.


    When Yuan Zhen saw this scene, his lungs were about to explode from anger.


    This time, Ye Yuan��s intent of provocation was too obvious.


    That meaning was like saying, you come and hit me, come and hit me!


    Yuan Zhen gnashed his teeth in hatred and shouted angrily, ��Kill for me! Extreme Space Annihilation!��


    The void exploded, terrifying energy and Heavenly Dao power shook in the void.


    This time, Yuan Zhen was truly enraged!


    One terrifying attack after another exploded in the void. The Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art��s various spells were displayed, sending out astonishing undulations.


    And inside the void, a white phantom was indeterminate, shuttling back and forth inside.


    This time, Ye Yuan was not like before, retreating after charging once. Now he kept on swaying in front of the starry web.


    He shuttled back and forth in front of the various center pivot powerhouses. But no matter how terrifying the attack was, they were unable to touch him.


    The more Yuan Zhen fought, the more alarmed he got, and he said in fury, ��Attack together, can��t keep on letting him probe anymore!��


    The other center pivot powerhouses were also extremely alarmed, immediately working in concert with Yuan Zhen.


    This Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, all of the center pivot powerhouses had their minds connected to know what the others were thinking.


    Ye Yuan��s current actions made them palpitate with anxiety and fear.


    Hence, they no longer cared about other things and planned on joining hands to cast the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art��s strongest move!


    Grand Spatial Rend Art!


    The power of this move was extremely horrifying. Once cast, even Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses would need to avoid it.


    Of course, such a powerful attack also had huge disadvantages.


    Once this move was executed, everyone��s strength would be drawn out too much.


    Within a short time, the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art would fall into a period of weakness.


    Of course, this weakness was relative.


    The power of over 30 thousand people combined together, no matter how weak, would not be that weak.


    A burst of apocalyptic power oscillated endlessly in the void.


    The horrifying to the extreme spatial source power rose mightily amidst the spatial turbulent flow.


    This surge of horrifying power made the expressions of all the human powerhouses change wildly.


    Too strong!


    Suffocatingly strong!


    This power was not even weaker than Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest they all!


    To these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, this burst of power was too terrifying.


    ��Lord Second Sage, quickly come back!�� Ji Mo roared wildly at the void.


    There was seemingly a pair of large hands continuously tearing at the spatial turbulent flow.


    Space shattered once more, a massive spatial storm surged up in the darkness, like a spatial tsunami was stirred.


    Unbelievably terrifying explosion sounds reverberated throughout the whole world!


    However, Ye Yuan did not retreat. He was still dashing about amidst the spatial storm, like a surfer in a tsunami.


    However, the tsunami got larger and larger, and increasingly terrifying. Ye Yuan��s figure flickered inside, shaking people to the core as they watched.


    On the other side, Originguard sensed something and looked toward the starry web in surprise and said, ��This kid is really amazing enough, to actually force out the Grand Spatial Rend Art!��


    Medicine Ancestor and Wing two people were currently already covered in blood all over, their injuries extremely severe.


    Seeing this scene, the two of their eyes lit up, revealing hopeful looks.


    Originguard looked at him and could not help laughing as he said, ��Put away your unrealistic hopes! Once the Grand Spatial Rend Art is executed, the void will be annihilated and everything will return to silence. How can a mere brat like Ye Yuan be able to resist it?��


    The spatial storm became more and more violent, and increasingly hair-raising.


    Ye Yuan��s figure was gradually engulfed by the tsunami, and never surfaced again.


    Yuan Zhen and the rest panted heavily, their complexions pale as they let out a long sigh in relief and said, ��This guy is finally dead!��


    On the humans�� side, the hope that just ignited was utterly extinguished by the Grand Spatial Rend Art.


    But right at this time, a weak voice suddenly sounded out in the crowd.


    ��Everyone, listen to my command! After three breaths of time, everyone must use their strongest move and attack the direction that I point at!��


    The one speaking was precisely Ye Yuan!


    Everyone did not know when he actually returned to their side. Furthermore, appearing in the crowd.


    But hearing what he said, everyone��s hearts turned somber, all getting ready.


    Ye Yuan ignored others and began counting down!

 Chapter 2325 - Breaking the Deadlock and Pursuit!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Three!��


    ��Two!��


    ��One!��


    ��Strike!��


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves grandly, a streak of sword light broke through the spatial turbulent flow and pointed at a star in the starry web.


    The human powerhouses had long already been accumulating power, waiting to release. For a moment, countless attacks cut through the sky, flying straight for that star!


    Yuan Zhen and the rest had not recovered to their senses from Ye Yuan escaping the Grand Spatial Rend Art yet when they discovered countless powerful attacks tearing across the air and arriving.


    And the place where Ye Yuan��s sword pointed was precisely the weakest point of the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art currently!


    A large-scale spell activated by several tens of thousands of people at the same time, it was impossible to be without flaws.


    Except, the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art had always been in continuous operation. The weak spot also drifted from place to place.


    Coupled with that this spell��s power was incredible, it could infinitely weaken the weakness of this spell.


    Wanting to find this spell��s weakness was virtually impossible.


    But now, it was found by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan suffered so many attacks and narrowly escaped death. It was for the sake of this moment.


    It was true that this spell was incredible, but it had one great weakness. It was that it was pieced together!


    With 36 thousand people joining together, the spell��s power was incredible and unmatched.


    To those who did not know spatial law, or with very weak comprehension of spatial law, this spell had no weakness.


    But Ye Yuan was proficient in spatial law, his spatial law had long already reached peak rank seven.


    Plus, Ye Yuan��s array formation already reached the level of source. When he looked at this spell, it was completely different from the rest.


    Just one look and Ye Yuan saw through that this enormous spell was constructed out of 12 center pivots.


    Hence, he entered the boundary of one of the center pivots.


    The place that he entered was actually very ingenious. It was a place out of the reach of other hubs.


    Hence, he kept testing this spell, in order to find the weakness of the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art.


    During this process, Ye Yuan deeply felt this spell��s power and profound mysteries. A magnificent spatial world unfolded before him.


    To Ye Yuan, this array formation seemingly analyzed spatial law piece by piece, revealing to him the profound mysteries of spatial law.


    Even though he got seriously injured, he glimpsed the profound mystery of spatial law.


    At the final juncture, Ye Yuan��s spatial law successfully broke through to rank eight.


    Furthermore, he also found its weakness!


    ��Quick! Mobilize power to help him defend!�� Yuan Zhen yelled loudly in a panic.


    However, it was already too late!


    Having just executed the Grand Spatial Rend Art, it already drained a tremendous amount of their strength. There was no way to recover within a short time.


    Ye Yuan grasped precisely this opportunity to launch a fatal blow.


    Above the void, the multicolored attacks arrived in an instant, erupting with an incomparably fierce sound.


    ��Puff!��


    The divine race powerhouse in that position having received countless attacks all at once was directly shocked into spewing out fresh blood wildly. He kicked the bucket, dying until he could not be deader.


    This star was directly destroyed!


    While at this time, the human powerhouses could sense that the void which was sealed tightly finally revealed a trace of gap.


    It was precisely this trace of gap that made all human powerhouses ecstatic.


    ��Second Sage is mighty! Second Sage is mighty! Second Sage created a miracle by himself!��


    ��Second Sage is a man of his word! He��s really bringing us out!��


    ��After this battle, we��ll revere Second Sage as supreme!��


    �� ��


    For a moment, sentiments were at a high.


    The human powerhouses were shedding tears of gratitude with regards to the miracle that Ye Yuan created.


    Many people even cried bitterly.


    This process from despair to hope, made many old things become melancholic and sentimental.


    ��Don��t be happy too early! It��s not over yet! Everyone, continue attacking with me!��


    Right then, Ye Yuan called out again in a clear voice.


    Swoosh!


    Another streak of sword light flashed across!


    This time, everyone��s attacks became more orderly. Their power also became a magnitude greater.


    Countless attacks rumbled towards the starry web again, another star was extinguished!


    ��Again!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, launching fierce attacks towards the starry web over and over again. The stars that were destroyed also got more and more.


    This starry web became a dreamcatcher.


    The sealed space had greater and greater undulations and was already unable to seal space anymore.


    The Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art collapsed with a loud bang!


    Ye Yuan bellowed loudly, ��Everyone, charge over together!��


    These divine race powerhouses were still very formidable; their combat power was still extremely strong.


    It was just that without the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, they were no longer able to trap the human powerhouses anymore.


    They could kill a portion of the human powerhouses but were unable to make all of them stay.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were adept in spatial law. Wanting to kill them was too hard!


    This was also the reason why Originguard set up this Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, trapping everyone in this manner.


    The humans could not win, but they could run!


    The Originguard who was currently in a fierce battle, his expression suddenly changed wildly, a shocked expression on his face.


    ��This is impossible! The Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was actually broken?��


    Originguard lost focus and was also seriously injured by Medicine Ancestor two people.


    Medicine Ancestor two people sensed the loosening of space, faces revealing wild ecstasy.


    Not just them, those Deva Realm powerhouses similarly had the wild elation of having survived a calamity.


    Even though their opponent was extremely strong, they could run away now!


    Forcing Originguard back with one move, Medicine Ancestor did not say a word, and he directly shuttled into the void with a flash.


    Wing let loose a torrent of abuse when he saw the situation, ��You shameless old thing! You have no sense of responsibility at all! Cloudheart Realm has so many people, yet you don��t care about them?��


    Originally, everyone was sealed firmly in this space and had nowhere to retreat, and they could only band up.


    Now, the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was broken, which also broke the unity of these human powerhouses.


    Now, they only had one thought, that was to run!


    Those Deva Realms had monstrous strength. They were naturally the first batch to escape.


    Even Ye Yuan this side also had many powerhouses who chose to escape straight away.


    The originally united army instantly became scattered and disunited.


    But those powerhouses that gathered around Ye Yuan since the beginning, all of them did not leave.


    They still followed Ye Yuan, retreating in an orderly manner.


    Ye Yuan��s injuries were extremely severe, forcefully hanging in there with a breath until now.


    Ji Mo as well as several experts guarded by his side, and let him consume several medicinal pills. Ye Yuan��s injuries were already brought under control.


    In this battle, the humans suffered great losses. The casualties of elite alchemists made up the most part.


    But the divine race was no better as well. Their losses were similarly tragic.


    Ye Yuan��s several rounds of charging killed large numbers of abyss monsters and divine race members.


    Except, divine race powerhouses were low in numbers after all. The ones charging in front were mostly abyss monsters.


    Therefore, even though this battle was tragic, the divine race��s losses were not very great.


    But the fight was not over yet!


    Although the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was broken, these divine race powerhouses were still pursuing them.


    Because Ye Yuan cracked the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, he also received heavy focus on his side. At the same time, countless powerhouses were chasing him.


    After Medicine Ancestor fled, Wing was alone and could not do much, and was no longer Originguard��s match very soon.


    It was only to see Originguard send Wing flying in no time flat.


    However, he did not chase after.


    Originguard��s current rage was already billowing to the sky!


    The scheme that he carefully designed was actually ruined by a brat!


    Swoosh!


    Originguard��s figure moved, rushing over toward Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2326 - Reinforcements Arrive

    Ye Yuan was bringing along a wave of powerhouses and currently fighting while retreating when suddenly, a powerful to the extreme aura arrived from afar.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly and immediately realized that Originguard had lost it!


    There was no time to think too much. Ye Yuan directly did a greater teleportation and left the team.


    ��Ji Mo, bring Yun Yi they all away. I��ll go and lure that old fellow away!��


    Ye Yuan threw behind this sentence and left in a hurry.


    Sure enough, the moment he left, the two did not say a word and chased right after.


    But currently, Ye Yuan already comprehended eighth firmament spatial law, his speed of shuttling through the void was quick to the extreme. Originguard could not catch up in a short while too.


    ��Kid, no matter up in the heavens or down below the earth, this ancestor will tear your corpse to pieces.��


    Originguard��s voice revealed a bone-piercingly cold intent, exhibiting his current anger.


    Sensing the powerful aura behind him that got closer and closer, Ye Yuan could not help having the jitters.


    This Originguard was too strong!


    His speed was swift to the extreme. Even if Ye Yuan comprehended eighth firmament spatial law presently, he was still far inferior to Originguard.


    Seeing the Originguard whose momentum was overpoweringly whizzing past, the faces of Ji Mo and the rest were extremely ugly.


    ��Not only is Second Sage extremely talented, but his character is also incredibly righteous! He did not hesitate to use himself as bait in order to protect us.��


    ��Heh, Medicine Ancestor as the alchemy path��s number one person, when Second Sage broke the fetters of space, Medicine Ancestor was the first to run. It really makes people feel disappointed.��


    ��If I can escape this time, this emperor will only follow Second Sage��s lead! It��s just �� I don��t know ����


    This Heavenly Emperor powerhouse said halfway and could not continue anymore.


    Originguard was too strong, strong until he made them feel asphyxiated.


    Even Medicine Ancestor and Sacred Ancestor High Priest teaming up was not his match, with Ye Yuan��s bit of strength, could he return alive?


    Facing the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, Ye Yuan created a miracle.


    But Originguard was not the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art. He could rival a Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art on his own.


    The Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art had weaknesses. Ye Yuan could find its weakness, but �� Originguard had no weaknesses!


    At least, at Ye Yuan��s level, even if he knew Originguard��s weakness, he did not have the ability to defeat Originguard.


    The two people, one in front and one behind, shuttled through the void. Originguard��s speed was unbelievably fast.


    He moved among the spatial turbulent flows like it was flat ground. Those violent spatial storms did not have any effect on him at all.


    But within two to four hours, Originguard gradually caught up to Ye Yuan.


    ��Heh heh, see where you can still run to! Ruining this ancestor��s plans, prepare to die!��


    Originguard gave a cold laugh, a fist punched out with a rumble.


    Dao marks flickered. A horrifying to the extreme power directly split the spatial turbulent flow into two, tearing across the air and arriving.


    That appearance was like a punch split the sea into two, leaving people tongue-tied.


    Ye Yuan��s hair stood on end, feeling that the entire world was collapsing.


    The horrifying power surged over toward him from all directions, completely sealing off his space, not giving him any room to escape at all.


    Originguard��s punch was in anger and alarm.


    Anger was due to Ye Yuan ruining his plans, making him fall short of success at the last second.


    Alarm was due to Ye Yuan��s talent being too terrifying. He already overestimated Ye Yuan��s talent as much as possible.


    But in the end, he discovered that he still underestimated Ye Yuan.


    The existence who created the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art was not inferior to him. Once this spell was used, it could forcefully contend with Deva Fourth Blight powerhouses.


    Him being able to launch the ambush this time, his biggest reliance was the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan actually cracked this invincible spell.


    Such talent, if he allowed Ye Yuan to continue growing up unchecked, it would be a devastating blow to the divine race.


    Hence, he had to kill Ye Yuan at all costs.


    He realized that compared to this Cloudheart Realm��s countless alchemy path powerhouses, Ye Yuan��s threat was clearly greater.


    Letting the tiger return to the mountain, there would be no end to future troubles!


    This punch, Originguard did not hold back in the slightest, directly using his strongest strike.


    He planned on killing Ye Yuan with one punch, so as to end all future troubles.


    With this armageddon-like punch being struck over, Ye Yuan did not have the strength to resist all.


    The force had yet to arrive and Ye Yuan already spewed fresh blood wildly. Hiis entire body was like he was hauled out of bloody waters.


    This time, he was truly powerless.


    Originguard was not Nineorigin. This punch of his did not give Ye Yuan any chance at all.


    Moreover, even if Ye Yuan took Originguard into the chaos world, it was also impossible to kill him.


    Just as Ye Yuan lost all hope, a figure walked out of the void.


    It was only to see him draw a circle in the void with both hands, directly covering Ye Yuan and himself.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    This shield emitted intense tremors, the spatial turbulent flow was directly blown apart.


    But this seemingly unremarkable shield actually defended against Originguard��s fatal punch.


    A middle-aged man in coarse cloth was standing in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was certain that he had not seen this middle-aged man before. But he did not know why this person would come to save him.


    Originguard arrived with a howl. Seeing this middle-aged man, his face had a gloomy look.


    His certain-kill strike was actually blocked by this middle-aged man. His irritation could be imagined.


    ��Who are you? To actually dare ruin this ancestor��s plans?�� Originguard looked at the middle-aged man and said in a solemn voice.


    The middle-aged man said coolly, ��Jian Family, Jian Yunxin.��


    This middle-aged man was shockingly the son of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Jian Yunxin!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, he did not expect that the one who saved him at the final juncture would actually be a member of the Jian Family.


    Originguard��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Jian Family, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets! I��ve long heard that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets calculated everything happening in this world. Attacking Cloudheart Realm this time, I already request Ancestor to take action, to shield heaven��s secrets. I didn��t expect that it was still divined by him. Looks like I underestimated members of the Jian Family.��


    Jian Yunxin said coolly, ��Your esteemed self indeed did it without a trace. But not long ago, heaven��s secrets suddenly had a change, letting Ancestor detect a trace of abnormality.��


    When he said this, Originguard and Jian Yunxin��s eyes both landed on Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, this trace of heaven��s secrets�� change landed on Ye Yuan.


    Jian Yunxin did not know the inner reason, but Originguard understood in his heart.


    Originally, this plan of his was indeed flawless.


    Logically speaking, it was impossible for everyone to escape the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art.


    But Ye Yuan broke through right then, cracking the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, shattering this trace of heaven��s secrets. That was how it let Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets detect a trace of abnormality.


    This could be said to be a trace of coincidence, and could also be said to be Originguard��s mistake.


    If Ye Yuan was not at Cloudheart Realm, no one would have been able to crack the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art at all.


    including Medicine Ancestor, everyone would have to die here.


    But Ye Yuan happened to be here. He was the greatest variable in this big event, but no one calculated his existence.


    Once heaven��s secrets moved, it made the outcome of the matter have an unexpected change.


    Originguard was livid with rage and said in a solemn voice, ��Truly, considerations will have oversight. I didn��t expect that this brat is already strong until the extent that he can influence heaven��s secrets. If I��d long known that it would be like this, this ancestor would have directly planned to kill off this brat first.��


    Jian Yunxin said coolly, ��Saying more words is pointless. Does your esteemed self want a battle or to withdraw?��

 Chapter 2327 - Former Glory!

    ��Oh? You seem to be very confident, then this ancestor will size you up and see how much capability you have then!��


    The divine race were all extremely confident in themselves. Furthermore, after this campaign, he was extremely apprehensive of Ye Yuan and naturally not willing to let him leave just like this.


    Right away, the two people came to blows like lightning.


    Before that, Jian Yunxian flicked his sleeves and swept Ye Yuan away.


    It was only to hear a series of explosions came from amidst the spatial turbulent flow. It was as if heaven and earth were shaking.


    This level of battle was even more horrifying than Medicine Ancestor three people��s battle previously.


    Ye Yuan was filled with fear. Only now he was aware that Originguard was still hiding his strength!


    The divine race was really powerful until it made people despair!


    Ye Yuan understood that Originguard only suppressed his strength in order to wipe out all of the alchemy path powerhouses.


    Otherwise, if he used his full strength, the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art would not be able to withstand it at all.


    That way, whether or not he could eradicate Medicine Ancestor and Wing was hard to say, but wanting to wipe out all of the alchemy path powerhouses, that would have been impossible.


    At this time, Originguard did not have the slightest scruples, showing his full strength. It was truly heaven-shocking.


    But what shocked Ye Yuan even more was that Jian Yunxin��s strength was actually not the slightest bit inferior to Originguard.


    These two people fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open amidst the spatial turbulent flows, being locked in a tangled battle.


    No idea how long had passed. Jian Yunxin appeared in front of Ye Yuan again, his breathing being slightly chaotic.


    Clearly, he did not occupy much advantage in this great battle.


    Of course, Originguard withdrew at this point. Clearly, he could not do anything to Jian Yunxin as well.


    Originguard withdrawing, the other divine essence powerhouses naturally no longer stayed behind, and also retreated one after another.


    This astonishing assault ended here.


    In this battle, even though the humans cleared the ordeal narrowly, the losses were extremely heavy.


    The humans lost close to 60% of their elite alchemists!


    The entire Cloudheart Realm collapsed completely, causing more than half of Medicine Ancestor��s disciples to perish.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest suffered heavy injuries, and his disciples also had three people who died.


    The various progenitors also sustained casualties.


    The whereabouts of the alchemy path��s number one person, Medicine Ancestor, were unknown.


    The entire alchemy world virtually suffered a devastating blow.


    It could be said that Originguard��s plan succeeded by half.


    After this battle, the world was shocked!


    A race called the divine race rose up from the abyss, and the disaster engulfed the entire Heavenspan World.


    Very soon, another explosive news broke out.


    The divine race��s eight lineages came out in unison, breaking the three abyss seals, and unleashed a horrifying confrontation with the demon race��s Eight Sacred Clans.


    The Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms returned in a miserable defeat.


    The powerhouses of the Eight Sacred Clans that perished were countless, the losses extremely heavy.


    But later, a little girl��s crying suddenly sounded out.


    Following that lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Floodwaters surged massively and the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open. It was as if the end had come.


    In an instant, countless divine race powerhouses and abyss monsters were exterminated before it repelled the divine race��s attack.


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The entire Heavenspan World was shocked.


    One had to know, the Eight Sacred Clans�� foundation was extremely deep. Their strength was an apex existence when placed across the entire Heavenspan World, not just in the demon race.


    But who knew that they actually could not stand up to a single blow in front of the divine race army!


    Finally, the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms collapsed, turning into rubble.


    The divine race led the abyss army and officially stepped into the Heavenspan World.


    The curtains of the Doomsday Battle officially drew!


    At the Heavenspan World��s various places, the divine race emerged like groundhogs.


    The two world��s barrier already became riddled, being full of holes.


    Or one should say that the divine race already utterly grasped the method to pass through the barrier. They came and went as they pleased, causing great harassment to the Heavenspan World.


    At Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, Ye Yuan and Jian Yunxin sat facing each other.


    ��In this battle, Young Friend Ye��s merits are the greatest!�� Jian Yunxin said.


    ��Why does Senior say this?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��In this battle, a slight tug in one area will affect the situation on the whole. The divine race has been silent for trillions of years. But this time, they prepared for everything. Young Friend Ye disrupted heaven��s secrets and disrupted the divine race��s overall plan. Therefore, I say that your merits are the greatest!�� Jian Yunxin said solemnly.


    Once the divine race quietly wiped out all of the alchemy path elites, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.


    Once they launched a surprise attack and the human race was caught by surprise, the flames of war would burn across the entire Heavenspan World very quickly.


    That way, the losses would be much more terrifying than now.


    Currently, Originguard��s plans were ruined, and the humans were prepared in advance. The losses had naturally been reduced significantly.


    Ye Yuan did not claim credit, but he frowned instead and said, ��Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets has calculated everything in the world and grasps heaven��s secrets. Moreover, those major powers have long known about the divine race��s matters perfectly clear. So why can��t they prepare for the divine race��s chaos early?��


    Jian Yunxin discerned Ye Yuan��s dissatisfaction and could not help laughing as he said, ��Young Friend Ye, you take the divine race too lightly! This emperor knows that your combat strength is unparalleled, but the entire human race only produced you alone! You don��t know what kind of terrible price the human race and demon race have paid for the sake of the Heavenspan World today! In the last Doomsday Battle, even though the human race suppressed the divine race in the Abyss World, they suffered a great loss in vitality too, eight to nine out of ten top experts dying! Furthermore, in that battle, many Dao teachings went extinct, greatly limiting the human race��s development. Even up till today, the human race hasn��t fully recovered.��


    ��Everyone says that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets knows everything, but these people don��t know that heaven��s secrets are unfathomable! Especially concerning Doomsday Battle this sort of major event, how could it be calculated accurately? Father has long set about to prepare to deal with today��s change. It��s just that he also didn��t expect that the divine race came into being several thousand years earlier than he had calculated. With this, it disrupted all of his plans.��


    Regarding this level of secrets, Ye Yuan really did not know much.


    It was just that the divine race was not that impressive in his view.


    He thought that as long as the humans dealt with it carefully, they would be able to defeat them.


    It was just that looking at it now, he was too naive.


    But hearing Jian Yunxin��s words, Ye Yuan remembered Originguard��s words.


    The human race��s former Alchemy Dao was extremely glorious.


    It was just that presently, all of it had declined.


    Even Medicine Ancestor this strength was likely a rookie when placed in the last epoch too.


    Looking at it like this, the former human race had indeed reached unprecedented glory.


    Most likely, powerhouses that had touched the power of source were far from just one!


    Furthermore, when Ye Yuan was in the Ancient God Battlefield, the Empyrean Vast Universe who gave him the bone sword also once said that ancient geniuses were extremely strong. Each and every one of them was incredibly talented.


    Under the two-phase confirmation, the present human race was really weak to the max.


    He also gradually believed Jian Yunxin��s words at this time.


    It was not that the human race did not want to respond, but that they were powerless to respond!


    ��Then �� What about those Dao Ancestor powerhouses? Aren��t they invincible existences? Could it be that even if they take action, they can��t suppress the divine race too?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Jian Yunxin laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Dao Ancestors? That��s right. Dao Ancestors indeed control the laws in an area. It��s just a shame that �� they are the human race��s Dao Ancestors!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��What does this mean?��


    Jian Yunxin smiled and said, ��Do you know who shouldered the responsibility of Dao Ancestor in the previous epoch?��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he said in shock, ��Could it be �� the divine race?��


    Jian Yunxin nodded and said, ��That��s right, it��s precisely the divine race! The divine race powerhouses have unparalleled combat power. Coupled with the augmentation of laws, they were virtually invincible existences!��

 Chapter 2328 - Primeval War Realm!

    ��Since they were invincible, how did the human race defeat them?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, a look of incomprehension showing on his face.


    Jian Yunxin smiled slightly and said, ��There is no doubt that Dao Ancestors are strong, but they have a fatal weakness. And our human race grasped precisely this fatal weakness. That��s how we completely defeated them.��


    Got to say, Ye Yuan��s curiosity was completely aroused.


    This was the Heavenspan World��s top secret. He could not imagine it at all previously. It turned out that Dao Ancestors actually still had weaknesses.


    ��What weakness?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Jian Yunxin said, ��The law blessing of Dao Ancestors is periodic, and it is not eternal. Every epoch, the law blessing of Dao Ancestors will be taken back by Heavenly Dao. And in this period, Dao Ancestors will return to their most primitive state, becoming ordinary people. And it��s this period that��s the weakest period of Dao Ancestors. In the last epoch, the human race had been secretly accumulating strength all along, and exploited this weakness of Dao Ancestors, dragging them down the horse.��


    Ye Yuan��s mind shook wildly when he heard. Only then did he know that Dao Ancestors still had such a secret.


    He had always thought that Dao Ancestors were eternal and invincible. He did not expect that they actually still had such a weakness.


    It was just that an epoch was too long. Hence, in the eyes of people like Immortal Grove and Dustless, Dao Ancestors�� invincibility was eternal.


    ��Since that��s the case, why don��t the present Dao Ancestors take action to suppress the divine race. Right now, the human race��s Dao Ancestors shouldn��t have been taken back by Heavenly Dao, right?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Speaking of this, Jian Yunxin revealed a trace of disdain and said, ��The current Dao Ancestors, heh heh, with the blessing of laws, they are indeed very strong. It��s just that you��re underestimating the divine race too much. You can imagine, if a cat is blessed by laws and a tiger is blessed by laws, can their strength be the same?��


    ��The divine race��s eight lineage��s progenitors were former Dao Ancestors. Although the power of law that was blessed on them was taken back by Heavenly Dao, they could personally comprehend the power of laws. An epoch of comprehension is no joke. Back then, the human race��s top experts almost died out and failed to kill these ancestors too. They could only suppress them. Now, their strength is fully restored; each person��s strength is not beneath Dao Ancestor.��


    ��In contrast, the present human race��s Dao Ancestors are merely a bunch of people who got hella lucky, obtaining the crystal of law in the Heavenspan Battle by chance. That��s how they have today��s glory.��


    Ye Yuan sucked in a cold breath when he heard. He did not expect that the strength of the divine race��s forefathers was actually strong to such an extent that they did not even fear Dao Ancestors too.


    Furthermore, hearing Jian Yunxin��s tone, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� strength was likely not too far off from Dao Ancestor even if he was not as good.


    His strength might even be on par with Dao Ancestors!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was indeed the most terrifying existence among the Deva Fifth Blights!


    Ye Yuan reckoned that he was likely an existence who could have a dialogue with Dao Ancestors.


    But looking at it now, both race��s top combat powers were both fearful of each other. Hence, they did not make a move.


    The divine race was clearly waiting, waiting for that moment when Heavenly Dao took back the power of law.


    At that time, the humans would no longer have powerhouses that could compete with the divine race��s progenitors anymore.


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of Daymeld and wondered if he could be the ancestor of one of the divine race��s lineages. Hence, he opened his mouth and asked.


    Hearing Ye Yuan mention Daymeld, Jian Yunxin could not help getting a shock and said, ��There��s actually still such a thing? Young Friend Ye, you��ve rendered a huge contribution to the human race! This Daymeld is the second generation ancestor of the divine race��s Heaven Lineage. Even though his strength isn��t as good as a progenitor��s, it��s also not far away. Back then, the human race expended a tremendous price in order to suppress him. I heard that in order to suppress him, the human race lost many Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses! Once he comes into being, he shall be a major combat power of the divine race.��


    Ye Yuan was also incredibly shocked after hearing it.


    Back then, he felt that those words that Daymeld said were somewhat bragging.


    Looking at it now, what he said was not false.


    Daymeld��s strength was likely much stronger than Originguard.


    ��Alright, better talk about official business then. Even though Young Friend Ye��s combat power is unparalleled, concerning the Heavenspan World��s major matters, you still can��t worry about them for now,�� Jian Yunxin suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan raised his brows and asked curiously, ��Oh, what is senior looking for me for?��


    Jian Yunxin said, ��Actually, ever since Father attained Dao, he calculated that the human race will have this calamity. Hence, in this epoch, he has been preparing for this catastrophe ����


    When Ye Yuan listened to what Jian Yunxin said, he was filled with deep respect in his heart toward Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    It turned out that ever since Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets attained Dao, he had been making plans for the human race��s future.


    He spread the Jian Family��s forces throughout the Heavenspan World. It was actually to recruit talents for the human race.


    Except, even though the humans won the apocalyptic great battle, it was a pyrrhic victory too. Countless Dao teachings became extinct.


    After the human race had been through billions of years of recuperation, they finally recovered some vitality.


    It was just that compared to their prime, this kind of human race was still not worth mentioning.


    The Ancient God Battlefield that Ye Yuan had gone to before, was actually the ruins of the Doomsday Battle.


    The area that he had gone to back then, was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Ancient God Battlefield.


    Although that place was a wasteland, there were countless soul treasures hidden.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets expended immeasurable effort, extracting the top 100 human legacies from the Ancient God Battlefield.


    Among them, there were ten legacies that were left behind by the human race��s top major powers back then, their power boundless, already reaching the level of law.


    Apart from this, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets even opened up a small world called Primeval War Realm with a great divine ability.


    This small world was used to select the most outstanding geniuses of the human race, entering the land of inheritance, and accepting the human race��s top legacies.


    However, the divine race��s suddenly coming into being disrupted all of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� arrangement, making these geniuses have no time to grow up.


    But to act was always better than not doing anything. It was ultimately better than allowing one to be seized without putting up a fight.


    Taking advantage of the fact that Dao Ancestors still had deterrent power, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had to carry out this plan in advance.


    Jian Yunxin coming here was in order to invite Ye Yuan to enter the Primeval War Realm and take part in the battle of geniuses.


    Ye Yuan shuddered with fear when he heard it. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually extracted a hundred inheritances from the ruins of the war. This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    However, this was a huge project. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets likely expended a tremendous effort on this.


    ��Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets exhausted himself and racked his brains for the human race. This Ye has wronged him. Senior, please apologize to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets on this Ye��s behalf.�� Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    He previously thought that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and many others, these major powerhouses, hurdled up like turtles, each and every one of them being self-centered. That was how the human race fall into such a dangerous situation.


    Looking at it now, it was him who wronged Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was the human race��s true hero, being worthy of Ye Yuan��s respect.


    Toward such a person, Ye Yuan had never been stingy with his admiration. A mere apology was naturally nothing.


    Jian Yunxin waved his hand and said, ��Young Friend Ye��s actions and behavior, this emperor has seen it. It��s true that Father��s actions are worthy of respect, but you overturning the raging tides is similarly worthy of admiration.��


    Jian Yunxin said these words from the bottom of his heart too. Once Originguard��s scheme succeeded, the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate.

 Chapter 2329 - New Number One Holy Land!

    The battle of geniuses would begin a year later.


    Ye Yuan and Jian Yunxin agreed to head to the Primeval War Realm a year later.


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan had too many things to work on.


    After the Cloudheart Realm battle, tens of thousands of alchemy path powerhouses gathered at Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma.


    In this battle, Ye Yuan cracked the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art, saving countless alchemy path powerhouses.


    What was more respectable was that Ye Yuan drew away the powerful Originguard by himself in order to protect these alchemy path powerhouses. This deed had already spread throughout the entire alchemy world.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s powerful alchemy path strength, he already became the new alchemy path leader of the Heavenspan World.


    Even Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s prestige was also not as high as Ye Yuan��s currently.


    Not just some itinerant cultivators, even many major factions and major family clans came over one after another too, hoping to join Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma.


    For some time, Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma had as many powerhouses as clouds.


    Bai Tong this number one powerhouse��s strength already could not hold down the fort.


    Feeling helpless, Ye Yuan simply invited Sacred Ancestor High Priest to garrison Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma.


    After Sacred Ancestor High Priest recovered from his injuries, he also learned of the severity of the present situation and agreed without hesitation.


    Putting it another way, this life of his was also saved by Ye Yuan.


    With his ability, he would not have been able to crack the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art at all.


    Furthermore, him and Medicine Ancestor teaming up was also not Originguard��s match at all.


    Continuing to fight, the two of them could only go down the path of demise.


    And later, Originguard also rushed to kill Ye Yuan and ignored him because Ye Yuan cracked the Grand Xingtian Heaven Locking Art.


    Otherwise, it would be hard for him to salvage the situation alone. He would likely have been killed by Originguard in a few moves.


    At this time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest could not help feeling somewhat emotional.


    He provided a lot of conveniences to Ye Yuan these few years, helping him to grow.


    He did not expect that the one who benefited in the end was him.


    Hence, when Ye Yuan requested him to come out, he agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    However, when he came to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma and saw the Pill Tower��s magnificence, Sacred Ancestor High Priest had been immersed in unbelievable shock these few days.


    It turned out that the powerful ones in Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma were not just Ye Yuan master and apprentices three people.


    The strength of each alchemist here was much stronger than same rank alchemists in the outside world.


    It was also that Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s development time was too short.


    Otherwise, this place would be the true alchemy path��s number one holy land.


    Cloudheart Realm was simply weak to the max compared to this place.


    Dao Realm powerhouses that were hard to come across in the outside world, were like cabbages in this place.


    Especially the alchemists that were the first batch to join the Pill Tower, their current strength already reached an inconceivable height.


    For so many years, Sacred Ancestor High Priest only paid attention to Ye Yuan.


    In his view, only Ye Yuan this person was worth him paying attention to.


    As for the Pill Tower, he thought nothing of it at all. He also never paid attention to it before.


    An alchemy path holy land that had risen for merely over a thousand years was simply not worthy of his attention.


    Not everyone was Ye Yuan.


    No matter how capable Ye Yuan was at teaching disciples, in one thousand years�� time, the faction that he established also could not be very strong.


    Not just Sacred Ancestor High Priest, all the alchemy path powerhouses who came to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, each one was in shock.


    One person being a genius was understandable, a city full of geniuses, this was simply incomprehensible.


    How many geniuses could a mere imperial city gather?


    Being able to produce a heaven-defying Ye Yuan, this was already a fortune that was cultivated for eight lifetimes.


    But when they really came here, only then, did they discover that they were totally wrong.


    Outrageously wrong!


    The cultivation method of the alchemy path powerhouses here was completely different from them.


    They immersed in the comprehension of Dao daily, but the alchemists here did not comprehend on Dao at all.


    They repeated the simplest and most basic practice day after day, year after year.


    Even the medicinal pills refined were very basic too. There were none of those seldom-seen medicinal pills.


    These fundamental skills, they simply held them in contempt, and they never thought of practicing them before as well.


    If not for Ye Yuan��s two disciples being so heaven-defying, if someone said to cultivate like this in front of them, they would definitely have smacked the other person to death with one slap.


    Wasn��t this sort of cultivation method purely a waste of time?


    But Ye Yuan used facts to tell them that this was the correct way to cultivate!


    ��Sigh, this old man always thought that you relied on talent to have today��s strength. At least, talent accounted for the absolute cause and effect! But didn��t expect that you walked until today with such a method. Looking at it now, I was wrong; the world was wrong! Your Dao points directly at the source,�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s not necessarily the case. The basic alchemy techniques that the Pill Tower cultivates, I��ve already improved them many times. Cultivating it now, it��s easier to come into contact with the level of Dao.��


    As Ye Yuan��s strength continuously grew stronger, his horizons also grew higher and higher.


    Hence, he continuously improved the basic cultivation methods, making it easier to come into contact with the level of Dao.


    It was also precisely this kind of improvement that made the Pill Tower��s powerhouses became more and more.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave him a deep glance and said, ��Before today, I��m afraid that if you went out and said that you attained Dao by cultivating like this, there��s probably no one who would believe at all.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s not that no one would believe, but that they would laugh their heads off.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest laughed and said, ��Indeed so.��


    Suddenly, his gaze flickered, and he said, ��Ye Yuan, can this cultivation method be imparted to this old man?��


    Ye Yuan looked at the other party in slight surprise. He did not expect that a powerhouse like Sacred Ancestor High Priest could actually let go of his self-esteem, and take the initiative to request to cultivate these most basic techniques.


    This was equivalent to starting over from the top!


    He could not help laughing as he said, ��Senior Sacred Ancestor worries too much. My Pill Tower doesn��t have the idea of hoarding our own belongings. The alchemy path powerhouses who join my Pill Tower can all undergo this kind of cultivation. It��s just that I��m afraid that not many can persevere with it.��


    This kind of cultivation method was extremely dreary. At present, the powerhouses left in the Pill Tower were all leftovers from great tides washing away the sand.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise and was speechless for a long time.


    Only after a long time did he say, ��Providing education for all without discrimination! This old man examines my own conscience and feels that I��m broadminded, but compared to you, I��m far inferior.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Why does Senior Sacred Ancestor say this? At present, the human race is in imminent danger. An additional alchemy path powerhouse is an additional hope. You also heard what Originguard said. For the human race to be able to win in the last Doomsday Battle, alchemy path powerhouses made tremendous contributions.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest nodded heavily and said, ��What you said is right. If there are still any sectarian views at this time, then it��s really seeking death!��


    No idea starting from when, those alchemy path powerhouses who had once commanded the wind and clouds, all put aside their ego, and followed the Pill Tower��s powerhouses to do their homework seriously.


    When they put down the pride of an expert, they suddenly discovered that the Pill Tower��s powerhouses could actually do the basic training so well, and so solidly.


    And when they competed in alchemy with the Pill Tower��s alchemists, they discovered to their amazement that many times, the quality of the medicinal pills that they refined was actually not as good as the Pill Tower��s alchemists.


    One had to know, each and every one of them, they were Seven-star Alchemy Gods. Some were even Eight-star Alchemy Gods!


    While the Pill Tower��s Seven-star Alchemy Gods were extremely few.

 Chapter 2330 - Developing Dao

    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Yun, my Cloudmoon Silver Ring Pill is always lacking a little. Can you come and help me take a look at what the problem is?��


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Yun, you look at my Purple Smoke Immortal Condensing Art. What shortcomings are there still?��


    ��Senior Apprentice Sister Ning, your Zhen Sui Fire Controlling Technique has truly reached the acme of perfection!��


    �� ��


    In the Pill Tower, a group of Eight-star Alchemy Gods surrounded Yun Yi and Ning Siyu, chatting and asking non-stop.


    Originally, they were all struck with reverence and awe.


    After all, these alchemy path powerhouses were all big shots who commanded a region.


    Which Eight-star Alchemy God was not looked up to by millions in the Heavenspan World, an existence that had people cluster around them like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon?


    But here, they were like elementary school students.


    When they just arrived, they naturally wanted to get Ye Yuan��s guidance.


    But Ye Yuan very naturally threw it over to Yun Yi and Ning Siyu. Very soon, they shut up collectively.


    They all, these Eight-star Alchemy Gods, actually could not beat Ye Yuan��s disciples!


    Only then did these big shots discover that Ye Yuan��s cultivation method was indeed astonishing!


    Hence, they put away their pride and studied in-depth with Yun Yi and the rest on a daily basis.


    But the more they communicated, the more horrified they got.


    The depth of Yun Yi and the rest��s insights, made them perspire from embarrassment.


    One had to know, Yun Yin��s current realm was still low.


    After his realm came up, he could completely crush them, these big shots.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Several figures walked in.


    Yun Yi and the Ning Siyu hurriedly got up and gave a bow to the arrivals.


    ��Master! Lord Sacred Ancestor!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said smilingly, ��Do you have any gains from communicating with seniors these few days?��


    The two said, ��Benefited a lot!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Mn, everyone present is a senior whose name shakes a region. You guys have to be more humble and learn more things from them.��


    The two hurriedly said, ��Yes!��


    All the Heavenly Emperors perspired from embarrassment. Ye Yuan��s words were simply face-slapping!


    These few days, they had long already been brought into submission by Senior Apprentice Brother Yun Yi and willingly followed them to cultivate.


    To talk about learning, it should have been them who were learning.


    One of the Heavenly Emperors smiled bitterly and said, ��Younger Brother Ye, aren��t you slapping our faces here? Young Friend Yun��s realm is just not there yet. Otherwise, what has it got to do with us, these old fellows? Second Sage, we all, these old fellows, really didn��t expect that even your disciples are so strong! Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma being the number one alchemy path holy land is true to its name!��


    This Heavenly Emperor was called Heavenly Emperor Nao Hua, a late-stage Eight-star Alchemy God. His seniority was extremely high and his influence in the alchemy world was also immense.


    But these few days, he was utterly convinced by the Pill Tower.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Nao Hua misunderstood! When this Ye teaches disciples, the first priority is to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to not to be self-conceited. No matter how high their realm, how strong their strength, they also can��t underestimate their opponents. Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. Learning from other people��s strong points and making up our deficiencies are the right way.��


    When everyone heard, they were slightly stunned in their hearts.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was not being modest, he was just expounding on a fact.


    In Ye Yuan��s heart, Yun Yi was stronger than them!


    But even if he was strong, he had to put aside his ego too, and learn from others.


    Thinking back now, these few days, Yun Yi had also indeed remained indifferent when granted favors or when subjected to humiliation, neither arrogant nor impetuous.


    Only then did the group of alchemy path powerhouses discover that this Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma was truly different from the rest in all aspects.


    They all, these people, had been in high positions for too long. They were existences above the clouds, each and every one incomparably proud.


    To make them learn from people weaker than them, it was simply impossible.


    But now, they discovered that someone who was more outstanding than them was not only more hardworking but also more humble!


    This kind of humility was not verbal humility, but the modesty of mentality.


    Only when one was truly modest in mentality could one learn the shining points of others.


    As for verbal modesty, Ye Yuan completely turned his nose up at it.


    Him being strong, that was natural and right!


    This point could also be seen from his words.


    ��Everyone, I��ve discussed with Senior Sacred Ancestor and decided that starting from next time, Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma will start a Dao sermon! It will be started by this Ye. After this Ye leaves, Senior Sacred Ancestor will take over. He has also contacted several progenitor-level powerhouses. They have all agreed. Coming to find everyone today, it��s hoping that everyone spreads the news. Anybody, as long as they have interest in Alchemy Dao, can all come to Heavenly Eagle to listen to the Dao sermon!�� Ye Yuan said.


    The moment the Heavenly Emperors heard, each and every one of their faces changed greatly.


    The so-called Dao sermon was to demonstrate and dissect their own Dao little by little and demonstrate it for the people listening to Dao.


    This was equivalent to saying that the core-most part of one��s Great Dao would be displayed for the world.


    People who attained Dao had all blazed a path through all manners of obstacles and experienced countless hardships before they had today��s accomplishments.


    Each person had their own non-transmissible secret.


    Even if teaching apprentices, they would also hold something back.


    The so-called teaching disciples would make the master starve to death. It was this logic[1].


    Think about it, if your disciples are outstandingly talented and learned all of your things, and climbed on top of your head, what sort of feeling was that?


    Unless it was someone who was about to pass on, otherwise, who would be willing to do this sort of thing?


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    The group of Heavenly Emperors was dumbstruck with amazement from listening, sucking in a cold breath.


    How broadminded did one have to be to be able to do such a thing!


    Ye Yuan��s action was to teach all life, his merits the greatest!


    In the history of the Heavenspan World, there had never been such a selfish figure who existed.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Not only did he do it, he even made Sacred Ancestor High Priest do it too.


    The reason why Ye Yuan came to find these Heavenly Emperors, it was because of their influence in the alchemy world.


    In reality, he hoped for more people to come and listen to Dao.


    Without a doubt, the stronger the human race��s alchemy path strength was, the stronger their confidence in contending with the divine race!


    Some inklings of this could be seen from Originguard��s plan!


    ��Huhu, when I heard this news this old man was already stunned. But thinking about it, Ye Yuan��s present alchemy path realm is already not beneath this old man��s. Even he isn��t stingy, so how can this old man fall behind him?�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a laugh.


    Heavenly Emperor Nao Hua��s expression turned somber and he said, ��Second Sage as a human is able to make such an astonishing move! How can Nan Hua��s meager cultivation base be kept hidden? If you don��t look down on me, count Nan Hua in!��


    ��Count me in too!��


    ��Count me in!��


    �� ��


    The Heavenly Emperors were infected by Ye Yuan��s breadth of mind and agreed one after another.


    Ye Yuan��s way of doing things was indeed majestic. He was like that previously in the Cloudheart Realm battle and was also like this now.


    In contrast, each and every one of them felt ashamed of their unworthiness.


    Even though their Dao was nothing in front of Ye Yuan, but at this time they clearly could not fall behind others.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, ��If the human race wins this battle, the world will definitely be everyone��s righteousness!��


    Everyone repeatedly said dare not.


    Now that Medicine Ancestor was missing, these two in front of them were the alchemy world��s summit.


    With their bit of strength, how could they dare show off in front of two great ancestors?


    �� ��


    The news swept throughout the entire alchemy world very quickly like the wind.


    Cloudheart Realm��s alchemy path powerhouses were all elites among elites.


    Even those like Empyrean Pilljade had to use connections before they could enter, the height of the threshold could be imagined.


    And in the entire alchemy world, there were God knows how many alchemy path powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan made no distinctions in teaching, as long as one was willing to come, they could come.


    For some time, countless alchemy path powerhouses swarmed toward Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma.


    [1] This is more of a culinary world saying, if the apprentice knows how to cook every one of the master��s dishes, the master may lose their job.

 Chapter 2331 - Conferred the Status of an Ancestor!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, the stream of people were as many as schools of carps crossing the river, countless alchemy path powerhouses gathering from all directions.


    On the day of the sermon, the noise and shouting were in great commotion.


    A million alchemy path powerhouses gathered in Heavenly Eagle. It was a grand sight to behold.


    Of course, this was just a very small part.


    Even more alchemy path powerhouses were still on the way.


    Ye Yuan was dressed in ceremonial clothes, sitting suspended on top of an enormous Tai Chi diagram. His eyes were shut closed, resting his mind.


    An aura of Great Dao filled the entire space.


    ��That��s Second Sage��s Dao? Indeed extensive and profound! Just one look and I feel that it��s unfathomable!��


    ��Legends has it that Second Sage is already the alchemy path��s number one person! I didn��t expect that he��s actually going to spread his Dao to all life! Blessing all ages, truly a saint!��


    ��Us small fries really have a huge lucky chance this time.��


    �� ��


    To the vast majority of alchemy path powerhouses, they did not know what it was at all.


    Alchemy was just refining pills.


    Only a handful of people could enter Dao.


    But Ye Yuan hosting a sermon and spreading Dao would be a massive lucky chance to these people.


    Normally, forget about Ye Yuan, even a Seven-star Alchemy God was also an existence that they could not touch.


    But today, Ye Yuan��s actions would benefit the world!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest and his disciples, as well as a group of progenitors, were currently shockingly present, listening to Ye Yuan spread Dao.


    These few days, Wing and Ye Yuan compete in alchemy many times, being equally matched.


    While he benefited immensely!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao was different from Medicine Ancestor. Medicine Ancestor��s Dao was unparalleledly tyrannical and overbearing.


    Alchemy path powerhouses who had fought against him before, it was hard for their Dao hearts to inevitably lose balance. Wing was a victim of it.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao was even and calm, exhibiting a majestic atmosphere.


    Debating on Dao with Ye Yuan, Wing unknowingly actually recovered his own Dao heart, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds!


    However, debating on Dao was one thing. That was just some small exchanges.


    While today, Ye Yuan spreading Dao, that was elaborating his Dao teachings. It was the demonstration of the essence of his Great Dao.


    This action absolutely held extraordinary meaning to progenitor level, and to those old fellows who had been stuck before Dao pill for countless years.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and started preaching on Dao.


    ��My Dao is not another path. Spreading Dao today, it��s to open up your Dao hearts.��


    ��A myriad Great Daos, Alchemy Dao is a special path.��


    ��What is Alchemy Dao? One pill, one world!��


    ��Then today, we��ll start with Divine Essence Pill ����


    �� ��


    Following Ye Yuan talking tirelessly, below burst into an uproar.


    Divine Essence Pill!


    The alchemy path��s number one powerhouse was actually talking about the Divine Essence Pill!


    What was the Divine Essence Pill?


    That was a rank one divine pill, the most basic divine pill!


    This level of medicinal pills, they could refine a large bunch with a wave of a hand.


    That was a medicinal pill that was given to rookies who just entered Deity Realm to eat!


    My pants were already taken off, you��re making me look at this?


    For a moment, dissatisfaction, contempt, spurn, and cursing sounded out all around.


    High-sounding words, this was simply duping people!


    Wing��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Quiet! If there are any more noisemakers, die!��


    An astonishing aura instantly covered the whole place.


    Once a Deva Fourth Blight was enraged, it was not what they could withstand.


    Immediately, it became quiet.


    Wing gave a cold snort and said, ��Ye Yuan preaching on Dao, this is the fortune of your lifetimes! Listen carefully, even if you just comprehend a fraction, it��s also enough for you all to benefit for life!��


    Even though everyone did not dare to speak up due to Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s power, they were still disdainful.


    Divine Essence Pill this sort of thing, what was nice to listen?


    Toward these commotions, Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    His time was limited. However much could be comprehended, it could only depend on these people themselves.


    Although the Divine Essence Pill was shallow, it was the foundation of Great Dao.


    Now that he had climbed to the summit, turning back to look at this kind of medicinal pill again, his opinion was naturally different.


    The current Ye Yuan could casually refine rank one divine pills that were 100 times stronger than the Divine Essence Pill.


    But why did he start with the Divine Essence Pill?


    The Divine Essence Pill was a pill formula that had been handed down from ancient times. After countless years of baptism, it was a pill formula that had been tempered endlessly.


    Even though the medicinal pill was simple, it contained the maxim of Great Dao!


    Gradually, the expression on everyone��s face changed.


    The original disdain, ridicule, conceit, turned into the current shock, admiration, and absorbed in thought.


    Only now did they know that turns out a tiny little Divine Essence Pill actually contained so many truths!


    The things that Ye Yuan talked about, they had never thought about them before.


    He refined a Divine Essence Pill in front of everyone.


    Each step, he analyzed deeply, demonstrating his own Dao little by little.


    A tiny little Tai Chi diagram formed in the void.


    Everyone��s expressions became incomparably shocked.


    But among them, someone��s shock was greater than the others.


    This person was Sacred Ancestor High Priest!


    ��It turns out that this is his Dao! A tiny little Divine Essence Pill actually hides such a great Dao! Rank one divine pills, we already overlooked such pills much. Then what about rank two divine pills, rank five divine pills, rank eight divine pills?��


    ��Many geniuses are all rootless weeds. They seemed powerful but were no use at all despite looking good. But his strength is a strength that has been tempered endlessly!��


    ��We have been searching for the fleeting and ephemeral Dao, but he has been focusing on every tiny bit! By now, he already became a sea!��


    ��I finally understand what the two races�� Dao is missing!��


    Of the people present, Wing was closest to Dao.


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s spreading of Dao, his thoughts and feelings were the deepest.


    Their Dao had indeed built a 100 thousand foot building.


    But their 100 thousand foot buildings lacked bricks and tiles. The buildings were full of holes.


    Such a building, the higher one built, the more dangerous it was!


    Therefore, his Dao failed in front of Medicine Ancestor, and he also lost himself.


    But, even if Ye Yuan was defeated, he was the victor too!


    Because his Dao was too stable!


    Although the other progenitors did not feel as strongly as Wing, they also benefited a lot.


    Following that, Ye Yuan gradually developed the entire system of rank one divine pills with the Divine Essence Pill as the foundation.


    Only then did everyone discover that turns out among all the rank one divine pills, there existed all kinds of connections.


    The shock in everyone��s hearts grew stronger and stronger!


    Ye Yuan provided for them a brand new perspective. This was the perspective of God!


    They were currently standing at the perspective of God, re-examining rank one divine pills.


    Finding everything fresh and new!


    Being filled with wisdom!


    Enlightening the benighted!


    They were more and more unable to describe their current feelings anymore.


    What Ye Yuan exhibited for them was a brand new alchemy path cultivation system!


    If in the past, Alchemy Dao relied on inheritances.


    Today, Ye Yuan��s alchemy path was the great accomplishment of everyone gathering there!


    This was a complete, brand new cultivation system that could stand up to scrutiny and could create countless alchemy path powerhouses!


    Just like that, from rank one to rank two, all the way to rank eight divine pills.


    Ye Yuan expounded his cultivation system little by little, spreading his Dao, clearly displaying the sequence of ideas in front of everyone.


    Many people still thought that it was simple at first. But later, they could not understand at all anymore.


    The further back, the more obscure and difficult it was to understand.


    The one-year period arrived in a blink.


    That moment when Ye Yuan stopped preaching on Dao, the tens of millions of powerhouses present were silent.


    Wing��s gaze was deep and suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Today, Ye Yuan will be conferred the status of an ancestor!��

 Chapter 2332 - Ancestor of Alchemy Dao!

    ��Ancestor Ye started the paradigm of Alchemy Dao, and is a man of great talent and virtue through the ages! Today, he shall be conferred the status of an ancestor!��


    ��Today, spreading Dao and blessing all ages! If Ye Yuan isn��t conferred the status of an ancestor, heaven will not tolerate it!��


    �� ��


    Regarding Ye Yuan being an ancestor, no one had objections.


    Perhaps those people with meager strength did not understand the meaning of this spreading of Dao. But they all, these progenitors, were deeply aware of its profound impact.


    Prior to this, regardless of whether it was the human race��s or demon race��s Alchemy Dao, it was all scattered and disorderly.


    One could say that it was an act of hit-or-miss.


    You comprehend your Dao, I refine my pill.


    Even Medicine Ancestor was not able to distill it into a mature cultivation system.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Not only did he do it, he even spread his cultivation gains to all life, demonstrating it to everyone.


    This merit was unprecedented since time immemorial!


    A year of spreading Dao, the merit led to a thousand years�� contribution.


    Among these progenitor-level powerhouses, each person��s gains were simply immeasurable.


    As long as they went into closed-seclusion for some time, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds.


    Especially the Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Ye Yuan��s spreading of Dao opened up a new door for him.


    Given time, as long as he digested the Dao that Ye Yuan preached on, he had confidence on surpassing Medicine Ancestor!


    The tens of millions of alchemy path powerhouses present had tens of thousands who broke through.


    Some Eight-star Alchemy Gods who had been stuck at peak Ancestor Realm for many years even faintly showed signs of touching Dao pill.


    Before long, a large group of alchemy path powerhouses would appear among these people!


    Ye Yuan glanced downwards and could not help sighing emotionally in his heart.


    Oh, time!


    What he lacked the most right now was time!


    He needed time to grow up, these alchemy path powerhouses also needed time to grow up.


    But the divine race would not give him this time.


    At this time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest clasped his hands to the sky and said in a clear voice, ��Demon race��s Priest Temple will revere Ye Yuan as the ancestor of Alchemy Dao today!��


    ��The human race��s Sky Billow Realm respects Ye Yuan as the ancestor of Alchemy Dao!��


    ��The human race��s Ninereign Realm respects Ye Yuan as the ancestor of Alchemy Dao!��


    �� ��


    These progenitors�� voices shook the sky, reverberating throughout the whole world.


    All of the progenitor-level powerhouses actually revered Ye Yuan as an ancestor!


    After the progenitors, it was peak Eight-star alchemy path powerhouses.


    ��Purple Sandalwood Bodhidharma reveres Ye Yuan as the ancestor of Alchemy Dao!��


    ��Enlighten Day Bodhidharma reveres Ye Yuan as the ancestor of Alchemy Dao!��


    �� ��


    Each one that opened their mouth was a big shot of the alchemy world. The weight of their words was extremely heavy.


    With so many supreme powerhouses respecting Ye Yuan, it could be seen that this spreading of Dao already brought the entire alchemy world into submission.


    Those alchemists with meager strength still did not understand what was going on until now.


    But so many big shots suddenly respecting Ye Yuan as an ancestor, this matter made them incomparably shocked.


    ��My God, what��s going on here? So many heavyweights are actually collectively revering Second Sage as an ancestor!��


    ��Second Sage merely just entered Heavenly Emperor not long, he��s actually conferred the status of an ancestor just like this?��


    ��Furthermore, this still isn��t an ordinary conferring as an ancestor! Even Medicine Ancestor didn��t have this kind of treatment either!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan being conferred the status of an ancestor was different from the other progenitors.


    Powerhouses who were able to become progenitors were at least Deva Third and Fourth Blight sovereigns too.


    Even Deva First Blight and Second Blights did not have the qualifications to be called ancestors too.


    But Ye Yuan just entered Heavenly Emperor not long ago. At present, his strength was only comparable to Heavenly Emperor Second Firmament. Yet, he was actually collectively revered as an ancestor by so many sovereigns!


    It was being commonly revered as an ancestor!


    This was also to say that all alchemy path powerhouses, including Sacred Ancestor High Priest, were a status lower in front of Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan this ancestor of Alchemy Dao, surmounted above all progenitors!


    This scene �� The vibe of ritual was extremely strong.


    Powerhouses able to be called progenitors all had their own pride.


    These progenitors all admitted that Medicine Ancestor was strong, but would not revere him as the ancestor above progenitors.


    You are strong, that��s your business, nothing to do with me.


    But today, they put aside the pride of a progenitor towards Ye Yuan.


    This sort of thing could be said to be unprecedented since time immemorial!


    A mere Heavenly Emperor actually towered above all progenitors.


    This sort of thing, even thinking about it felt terrifying.


    They did not understand, but they knew that these progenitors were not fools.


    Being able to make these proud progenitors lower their heads, Ye Yuan��s spread of Dao definitely held extraordinary significance.


    Their realms were too low and they were unable to detect the profundities within.


    But they understood that they had witnessed the arrival of a new era of the alchemy path world!


    Henceforth, Medicine Ancestor shall become a cloud that passed by, and what replaced him was the ancestor of the alchemy path: Ye Yuan!


    In the crowd, Pilljade sighed despondently and said to the Yun Yi beside him, ��Yi-er, this old man apologizes to you! Circumstances change with the passing of time. Facts have proved that your choice is right! It��s me whose eyesight was too shallow.��


    Cloudheart Realm��s battle, under Ye Yuan��s protection, Pilljade escaped with his life by a fluke.


    He and Ye Yuan fought for a thousand years. Only now when Ye Yuan was conferred the status of an ancestor did he know what a ridiculous thing that was.


    Even when Ye Yuan spreading Dao, with his realm, he could not fully comprehend it.


    But he faintly understood that Ye Yuan really did a major thing that shocked heaven and earth.


    Forget about Ye Yuan. Even this descendant of his, he had also surpassed Pilljade all-round in Alchemy Dao presently.


    He personally saw those big shots whose fame shook a region, looking humble in front of Yun Yi.


    This level of existence, he did not even dare to think about it in the past.


    Yun Yi gave him a glance and said with a smile, ��What��s Great Grandfather say? You raised Yi-er, groomed Yi-er; Yi-er remembers it in my heart. Yi-er has never blamed Great Grandfather, you don��t need to worry about it. Actually, I followed Master just to seek out a higher level Alchemy Dao too. It��s just that I also didn��t expect that Master could actually walk to this step presently, it��s really like a dream!��


    Pilljade blushed with shame in his heart.


    He knew that if not looking on the account of Yun Yi��s face, Ye Yuan would have long destroyed Great Imperial Capital Pilljade.


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, destroying Great Imperial Capital Pilljade was nothing at all.


    Heavenly Emperor Zhuo Yun probably would not even dare to let out a fart!


    Above the void, Ye Yuan��s expression was calm, remaining indifferent whether granted favors or was subjected to humiliation.


    Regarding the actions of the group of progenitors, he was indeed a little surprised. But he knew that he could shoulder it.


    What he was surprised by was that these progenitors would actually let go of their pride and revere him as an ancestor.


    A hundred years of alchemy battle with Medicine Ancestor, Ye Yuan had truly scryed the power of law.


    Even though that trace of power of law was extremely vague, it benefited him endlessly.


    At that moment, he finally integrated all that he learned and achieved mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject. That was how there was today��s spreading of Dao.


    Ye Yuan glanced below and said coolly, ��That day, in Cloudheart Realm, I believe that everyone has some understanding too. The human race��s Alchemy Dao has declined for a long time already, even the divine race looks down on it! Since everyone reveres me as an ancestor, then put aside sectarian views, and spread what you��ve learned to all life, and let everyone improve together!��


    The divine race was extremely apprehensive of the human race��s Alchemy Dao. But in the last epoch, those alchemy sovereigns all perished for the human race.


    Now, even Originguard this fellow could look down on the human race��s Alchemy Dao already.


    As long as the alchemy path rose, it would definitely play a key role in the war between the human and divine, two races.


    What he lacked was still time!


    ��This old man will follow what Ancestor Ye says! After Ancestor Ye leaves, I��ll spread the Dao!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest clasped his hands and said.


    ��We honor what Ancestor Ye says!��


    ��We honor what Ancestor Ye says!��


    �� ��


    Regarding what Ye Yuan said, the group of progenitors concurred one after another.

 Chapter 2333 - Fall of a Sovereign!

    Ye Yuan being conferred ancestor shocked the entire alchemy world!


    There was no idea how many human powerhouses, it was naturally impossible to all come to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma.


    Concerning Ye Yuan spreading his Dao, there were still some who were disdainful.


    But when they knew that all of the progenitors including Sacred Ancestor High Priest, actually jointly revered Ye Yuan as an ancestor, their shock could not be any greater.


    A brat who was still wet behind his ears, actually became the alchemy path��s common ancestor?


    No matter how great their influence was, they could not change this fact either.


    No matter how great their influence was, could it be greater than so many progenitors?


    The title of Ancestor Ye had already become an established fact!


    His limelight even overshadowed the Medicine Ancestor back then!


    During this period, inside a certain small world, above a quiet lake, a scrawny old man was sitting cross-legged.


    Streams of immortal qi coiled around him, forming a circular aura field.


    The circular aura field divided into two, circulating endlessly. That appearance �� was actually somewhat similar to Ye Yuan��s Tai Chi diagram!


    No matter how the aura field revolved, the surface of the lake was calm from start to end. It could be seen that the old man was not ordinary.


    Before long, another figure landed on the surface of the lake.


    He gave a bow toward the old man and said, ��Master!


    This old man was precisely the Medicine Ancestor who went missing after the Cloudheart Realm battle!


    And the person who just appeared was the Eldest Disciple who went missing along with him. It was Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy!


    Medicine Ancestor nodded slightly and said coolly, ��What events are there at the outside world?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��The divine race army is bearing upon the borders. Ye Yuan is conferred the status of an ancestor!��


    Medicine Ancestor smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��A child also dares to conceitly call himself as an ancestor!��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy said, ��It was not that he proclaimed himself as an ancestor, but that all the progenitors exalted him as an ancestor. Now, he��s already the common ancestor of the alchemy path!��


    Medicine Ancestor��s entire body trembled, his eyes full of astonishment.


    One had to know, he had roamed the Heavenspan World unobstructed for countless years, and also did not become the alchemy path��s common ancestor.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Immediately, an extremely complicated emotion welled up in his heart.


    ��Heh, terrific lad! Fine means! However, he��s also underestimating this ancestor too much! His Dao has inspired this ancestor greatly. As long as I digest his Dao, this ancestor will definitely be able to reach the true realm of Dao pill! When this ancestor comes into being anew, I��ll make the myriad regions tremble! This ancestor is the common ancestor of the alchemy path!��


    Puff!


    Right at this time, a hand plunged into his chest.


    Medicine Ancestor��s entire body was paralyzed, immediately unable to move.


    At the same time, he felt his strength flowing away bit by bit.


    He looked at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy with a look of disbelief.


    In this world, the one that he trusted the most was Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy!


    But Lastingjoy struck a vicious blow towards him!


    He did not understand it. He did not believe it. He felt that it was inconceivable.


    ��W-Why?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s hand was thrust in Medicine Ancestor��s chest, still smiling as he said, ��If there��s only one person in this world who can achieve Dao pill, then it can only be me! I served you carefully; it��s for the sake of today! Absorbing your Dao, I��ll be the real Medicine Ancestor! Go in peace. Everything that you lost, I��ll help you take it back!��


    Medicine Ancestor��s entire body was unable to move. He only felt that his Dao was slipping away little by little.


    He looked at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy. It was as if it was his first day knowing him.


    This guy could actually absorb his Dao!


    Medicine Ancestor discovered that he underestimated Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy too much.


    The anesthetic in Lastingjoy��s hands, with his body that was close to Dao, he was actually unable to dispel it.


    Gradually, Medicine Ancestor��s aura grew weaker and weaker.


    Finally, he turned into a pool of blood.


    A sovereign of his generation who had commanded the Heavenspan World for countless years, a figure almost like a Dao Ancestor, actually died in a small world that no one knew just like that!


    While at this time, the Great Dao aura on Lastingjoy��s body gradually became thicker.


    A hint of a smile flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, ��These countless years, I��ve concealed so bitterly! I devoured other people��s Dao non-stop, continuously became stronger, and finally stepped into the realm of Dao pill. Absorbing this old thing��s Dao, I��ll be the strongest alchemy path sovereign in this world! Ye Yuan that brat��s Dao must be even more delicious. After I absorb his Dao, I��ll be the alchemy path��s number one person since time immemorial! At that time, maybe I can reach Dao Ancestor that level; who knows?! Really looking forward to it!��


    It turned out that Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy actually walked an extremely strange path of Alchemy Dao.


    His Dao was to continuously devour other people��s Dao!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was a figure from the same era as Medicine Ancestor. His alchemy path talent was ordinary, but he was an eccentric genius-like figure.


    Following Medicine Ancestor, he had witnessed countless alchemy path geniuses.


    Hence, he devoured non-stop, continuously becoming stronger. He actually reached the realm of Dao pill in the end!


    However, he concealed it extremely well. Even Medicine Ancestor did not detect it either. Medicine Ancestor trusted him immensely instead.


    Now, he even devoured Medicine Ancestor��s Dao, truly becoming the alchemy path��s number one person.


    Even the current Ye Yuan was inferior to him too!


    Now, he set his sights on Ye Yuan again!


    During this period, the Ye Yuan who had just been conferred ancestor, already embarked on the road to the Primeval War Realm.


    �� ��


    Profound Secrets Heavenly Capital, the place where Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets stood toweringly.


    This was an enigmatic figure, and also a legendary figure.


    Of course, he was also a figure who was powerful until it made people despair!


    Arriving at Profound Secrets Heavenly Capital, Ye Yuan was deeply shocked.


    The Jian Family was too strong!


    Those walking around everywhere here were all at least True God Realm powerhouses!


    Heavenly Emperor and Empyreans who were hard to come across in the outside world, could be seen everywhere here!


    Only then did Ye Yuan know that it turns out that only those members of the Jian Family who were second-rate, would be sent out.


    ��No wonder everyone says that the Jian Family is the Heavenspan World��s number one family. This grandeur was indeed not boasted out!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    ��Huhu, I��ve incurred Young Friend Ye��s ridicule!��


    At this time, a figure appeared behind Ye Yuan. It was precisely Jian Yunxin.


    Ye Yuan bowed and said, ��Senior!��


    Jian Yunxin smiled and said, ��Huhu, congratulations to Young Friend Ye, for being conferred the status of an ancestor! Ancestor Ye is already a member of my generation now. You don��t need to be so courteous.��


    Ye Yuan being conferred ancestor was a huge thing in the alchemy world.


    But in the eyes of a powerhouse like Jian Yunxin, it was nothing.


    Presently, the human race��s alchemy path was too weak. It could not provide much help for the Doomsday Battle at all.


    What the Jian Family thought highly of was still Ye Yuan��s unparalleled combat power!


    Hence, he still addressed Ye Yuan as Young Friend Ye Yuan.


    Regarding the matter of being conferred the title ancestor, it was merely just being polite.


    Ye Yuan was aware in his heart but did not say much.


    It was a fact that the alchemy path had declined, it was pointless to say anymore.


    Otherwise, how could it be him, this junior��s turn, to be called ancestor?


    However, Ye Yuan had confidence in being able to make the alchemy path regain its glory in the future!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior is jesting. Please bring me to the Primeval War Realm then.��


    Jian Yunxin smiled and said, ��No rush. Father wants to see you!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, ��Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets wants to see me?��


    He thought that he was merely an ordinary genius in the eyes of the Jian Family��s people.


    After all, no matter how amazing he was, he should not have been able to enter Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s arcane sight.


    He did not expect that the human race sovereign, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, actually wanted to see him!


    Jian Yunxin nodded and said, ��Father thinks very highly of you. He says that you��ll surely make great accomplishments. Young Friend Ye, this emperor has followed Father for close to ten billion years. Yet, it��s still my first time seeing him value a junior so highly. The battle of geniuses this time, you have to perform well and not let Father down!��

 Chapter 2334 - The Jian Family’s Curiosity Is Innate

    In front of him was an ordinary but hale and hearty old man. Ye Yuan even could not feel the undulation of divine essence in his body.


    Throwing him into the crowd absolutely would not arouse any attention.


    He was like air, clearly standing there. But it was as if he did not exist.


    It was seriously very hard for Ye Yuan to associate this person in front of him to the master whose name shook the world, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    Very clearly, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had already reached the realm of returning to one��s original simplicity on the journey of Dao!


    Ye Yuan was sizing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets up. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was also sizing him up at the same time.


    ��Little Fellow, you seem to be very curious about this old man,�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said with a warm smile.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he also smiled and said, ��Senior is probably the Heavenspan World��s most mysterious Deva powerhouse. Isn��t it very normal for this junior to be a little curious?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said meaningfully, ��Huhu, little fellow, you��re also very mysterious in my eyes!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart went cold. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s words had an implicit meaning!


    Could it be that he discovered something?


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed and said, ��You don��t need to be so nervous. Geniuses who can reach unpredictable aura, which one doesn��t hide massive secrets on them? It��s just that you seem to be a little more mysterious compared to them. Hence, this old man is very interested in you.��


    ��Unpredictable aura?�� Ye Yuan asked doubtfully.


    Back then, Jian Hongxiao said that he was of the emperor surmounting aura. What was this unpredictable aura?


    The Jian Family��s cultivation method was very mysterious. Ye Yuan did not know much about it either.


    Jian Yunxin explained, ��Our human race��s numbers are huge. With Father��s means, the vast majority of people��s fate can be predicted. But heaven��s secrets are hard to predict. There will always be some people��s fate that��s beyond Heavenly Dao! These people��s fate, even Father finds it difficult to predict too. People possessing this kind of destiny have an unpredictable aura! Previously, our Jian Family members being unable to discern your destiny with the aura viewing art, it��s due to this!��


    Ye Yuan was enlightened when he heard that. No wonder the Jian Family��s members would go blind when they saw him. It turned out that it was actually due to this reason.


    Heaven��s secrets could not be predicted. So how could it be measured with the naked eye?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said, ��Unpredictable children are not within the operation of Heavenly Dao! Even Heavenly Dao can��t grasp their destiny too. Their talent tends to be extremely astonishing, and they are distinguished talents of the current era!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��According to what Senior said, there should be many unpredictable children. Our human race has huge numbers. Since there are so many extremely talented people, then our human race should be extremely strong. Why is it so weak now?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets sighed deeply and looked straight at Ye Yuan as he said, ��A destiny that even Heavenly Dao isn��t able to control, how can Heavenly Dao allow it to live in this world?��


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, seemingly understanding something.


    Unpredictable children were incredibly talented, their destinies being extremely strong. But because of this, they were not tolerated by Heavenly Dao!


    Therefore, Heavenly Dao would obliterate these existences in all sorts of ways, to ensure the normal operation of Heavenly Dao.


    This way, wouldn��t he have to face the sanction of Heavenly Dao?


    ��Therefore, over the past ten billion years, the human race��s geniuses have been abundant like schools of carps crossing the river. But those who could truly survive are scanty few! Of course, for those able to survive, each person��s strength is immensely strong. Since you��re an unpredictable child, I believe that you��ve also experienced it strongly. Your encounters were probably much more perilous than ordinary martial artists,�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said.


    Ye Yuan recalled his encounters and thought that it was indeed the case.


    Walking all the way until today, the dangers that he had experienced were beyond count.


    Fortunately, he pulled through all of them.


    ��Senior didn��t come to find me to tell me these, right?�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��Didn��t I say just now that you��re very mysterious too? During these 100 years, this old man has seen before no idea how many unpredictable children. But those who can have such accomplishments at your age, there is only you alone! Hence, this old man is very curious about you too.��


    Ye Yuan said hesitantly, ��Does Senior �� want to use the aura viewing art on me?��


    ��Huhu, the Jian Family member��s curiosity is innate.�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said.


    ��But didn��t you say that I��m of the unpredictable aura? Will your eyes have any problem?�� Ye Yuan asked rather worriedly.


    Only then did he understand where the Jian Family��s people��s curiosity came from.


    It turned out that it was all inherited from their forefather.


    However, he was a little worried about Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets. Because he was different from the others.


    He was in possession of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. Its power was boundless.


    Even though he was facing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Ye Yuan was also a little worried.


    But Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed loudly when he heard it and said, ��Little Fellow, you��re still the first one who looks down on this old man like this! You have to know, the aura viewing art was created by this old man. Other people can��t look at unpredictable aura. So you think this old man is not able to perceive it? Heavenly Dao is ethereal, but one can always discern some inklings.��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said with a nod, ��Since that��s the case, Senior go ahead and cast the spell then.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded slightly, the aura on his body suddenly changing.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, feeling as if he had arrived in another world.


    This world was the world belonging to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    In this place, he felt like he was stripped bare, all secrets unable to remain hidden.


    Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart. Was this the strength of the strongest person who could pry into Heavenly Dao?


    A milky white light surfaced on Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s eyes.


    This light shone on Ye Yuan��s body, seemingly wanting to see through Ye Yuan��s secrets.


    But right at this time, a shocking change suddenly occurred!


    On a sunny day, a bolt of lightning suddenly cut through the sky, and directly slammed into this space!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� expression changed wildly, all the hair on his body standing on end.


    There was no time to think too much. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets suddenly pointed a finger at the sky. An astonishing aura erupted.


    At this time, the number one Heavenly Emperor��s strength was displayed to the fullest expression of its beauty and form.


    The expression of Ye Yuan who was in front of him similarly changed wildly. He felt as if this finger of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could pierce a hole in the sky!


    This finger was too strong!


    Rumble!


    With a loud bang, space collapsed, and the mansion was directly turned into ruins!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets spewed a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, looking toward Ye Yuan with a shocked face, speechless for a long time.


    The scene earlier was too shocking!


    He looked at Ye Yuan with the aura viewing art just now, but seemed to have seen an eye!


    That eye seemed to piece through the unreal, looking at him from some hidden place.


    Meeting eyes with that eye, he felt like he was going to die.


    He felt �� as if he met gazes with Heavenly Dao!


    How could such a thing happen?


    Unpredictable children were not tolerated by Heavenly Dao.


    But why did he feel like he was staring at Heavenly Dao?


    This kind of feeling was too contradictory!


    And this thunderbolt out of the clear sky was Heavenly Dao��s warning!


    Prying into Heavenly Dao was treason and heresy!


    Heavenly Dao would naturally send down a warning!


    It was also that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� strength was fearsome. If it were others, they would have likely been directly smitten into flying ashes!


    How could he have known that the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain on Ye Yuan could be said to be a miniature Heavenly Dao?


    Him prying into Ye Yuan��s secrets was equivalent to peeping at Heavenly Dao.


    How could this sort of action be tolerated by Heavenly Dao?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� strength was monstrous. Ever since he attained Dao, this sort of situation had never happened before.


    Today, he was really scared.

 Chapter 2335 - Cloudaid City

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One incomparably powerful aura after another arrived in an instant.


    The Jian Family had many experts. Seeing such a terrifying line-up, each and every one of them was alarmed.


    ��Who dares to act wildly in the Jian Family!��


    ��To dare make a move against Progenitor, got tired of living?��


    �� ��


    Alarmed and angry voices came over one after another. But when they arrived here, they could not help having stunned faces.


    A handsome youth was standing in front of their progenitor. There was no one else.


    This youth��s strength was only Heavenly Emperor Realm, but their progenitor who was opposite him was heavily injured until he vomited blood!


    Could it be that it was this youth who hurt their progenitor?


    How was this possible?


    They wanted to berate this youth, but they felt that it was somewhat funny.


    How could their progenitor possibly be hurt by a Heavenly Emperor?


    Just as they were stunned, they saw Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets wave his hand slightly and say, ��It��s fine. All go back!��


    Everyone exchanged glances, being at a loss on what to do.


    Jian Yunxin also woke up from the shock and said, ��It��s fine. All go back for now!��


    Only then did everyone leave with puzzled looks.


    Ye Yuan also had a helpless look and said, ��Profound Secrets Heavenly Capital should have many spirit medicines, right? Why not, let this Ye refine a medicinal pill for Senior to heal your injuries?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded slightly, expressing his consent.


    He naturally knew about the matter of Ye Yuan being conferred the status of an ancestor. If anyone in this world could refine pills for him, it would be none other than Ye Yuan.


    Jian Yunxin sent Ye Yuan to refine the pill and then turned back.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was well-deserving of being the number one Heavenly Emperor, at this time, he already recovered to normal.


    Seeing Jian Yunxin looking like he wanted to speak, but swallowing his words back, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said coolly, ��He��s different from the rest! Unpredictable children similarly have the distinction of high and low. But no matter how high they are, they also won��t provoke Heavenly Dao��s warning! This old man has divined for a trillion years and also can��t see where the human race��s way out lies. Perhaps this slight variable ��will fall on him for all I know!��


    Jian Yunxin��s entire body trembled and he said, ��This boy must be hiding a massive secret on him! Why don��t �� Father replace him?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave him a glance and shook his head and said, ��It��s been so many years. Don��t you understand it yet? Every single being has its own destiny! That secret with him is a variable. Placed on me, it will become a fixed number! In this battle, the human race will definitely be defeated! If it becomes a fixed factor, then the human race will be ruined in this old man��s hands! Putting aside merits and demerits, will the divine race let us, these existences, off?��


    Jian Yunxin drew a breath of cold air and said in shame, ��It was this child who was impulsive! But he��s currently too weak! Can he really grow to the extent of influencing the battle situation?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed in spite of himself and said, ��How can I know? If he can be divined, he wouldn��t be an unpredictable child! It��s precisely because he��s unpredictable that the human race has a chance! Actually, the one who��s curious isn��t just you. This old man is very curious too!��


    Several days later, Ye Yuan refined a quasi-Dao Pill.


    After Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets consumed it, his injuries immediately improved significantly.


    Except, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� realm was too high. Ye Yuan��s realm was not there yet currently. Hence, the medicinal pills refined could not let him recover fully.


    But with Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� ability, what remained was not that serious.


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s alchemy skill, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also lauded over and over again.


    After the matter, Jian Yunxin brought Ye Yuan into the Primeval War Realm.


    The Primeval War Realm��s entrance was in Profound Secrets Heavenly Capital.


    ��Alright. I��ll send you up to here. After you go in, you��ll naturally know what to do,�� Jian Yunxin said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and entered the small world.


    A feeling of weightlessness suddenly appeared. Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he entered a ball of light.


    Then a large amount of information entered his mind.


    It turned out that this Primeval War Realm was actually a world like the Death Cultivation Space.


    This ball of light could perfectly replicate his strength.


    Of course, this Primeval War Realm was established by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets by expending great efforts. It was naturally God knows how many times more advanced than the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove!


    Ye Yuan led the clone. Furthermore, all that this clone acquired in the Primeval War Realm was equivalent to him obtaining it.


    This was also to say that when the clone cultivated in the Primeval War Realm, the heaven and earth spiritual energy would be transmitted onto the main body.


    This was equivalent to the main body cultivating.


    This clone was actually equivalent to Ye Yuan��s own body!


    Furthermore, this clone could revive infinitely!


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    This clone would enter the Primeval War Realm to fight!


    In the Primeval War Realm, there were a hundred cities. Each city had ten thousand unpredictable children.


    The unpredictable children fought among each other or went out of the city to hunt all kinds of ferocious beasts.


    Fighting was not allowed in the city. Outside the city, there were hunting grounds.


    With each fierce beast hunted, one would obtain god of war points.


    Among unpredictable children, they were ranked based on god of war points.


    This Primeval War Realm was actually a virtual battle space!


    ��Hiss �� A million unpredictable children! Furthermore, they are all Heavenly Emperor powerhouses!�� When Ye Yuan became aware of this information, he could not help feeling shocked.


    He did not expect that the human, demon, fiend, and various races actually had so many unpredictable children.


    This was still merely just unpredictable children. The human race��s Heavenly Emperor powerhouses are probably numbered in the tens of millions!


    Ye Yuan discovered that he still underestimated the human race.


    He used to think that Heavenly Emperors were paramount existences. The numbers must be extremely few.


    But reaching his present realm, the level that he came into contact with was totally different. Only then did he discover the strength that the human race concealed!


    The reproduction ability of these few races was too strong!


    Back then, the few races used human wave tactics and brutishly defeated the divine race to death.


    If I could not beat you with one progenitor, then three.


    If three could not beat, then five! Ten!


    The invincible divine race was suppressed just like that.


    But thinking carefully, Ye Yuan felt at ease.


    The Heavenspan World was boundless without horizon, the numbers of the few races could simply be calculated in billions of trillions.


    Even if one Heavenly Emperor appeared among a billion martial artists, the number that accumulated would also be very considerable.


    However, Heavenly Emperors were easy to obtain, while Devas were hard to ask for!


    Deva Realm powerhouses were truly rare.


    Those able to transcend the Deva blight tribulation were one in a million.


    The vast majority of Heavenly Emperors all died in the Deva blight tribulation.


    Hence, in the last Doomsday Battle, the human race sovereigns virtually all fell. It was a destructive blow to the human race.


    After understanding the Primeval War Realm��s information, Ye Yuan��s consciousness sunk into the light ball. He only felt a blur before his eyes and his entire person arrived at a prosperous city.


    Ye Yuan, Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    City location: Cloudaid City!


    God of war points: zero!


    God of war ranking: 12,532!


    At this time, some more information appeared in Ye Yuan��s head.


    Very clearly, there were currently a total of 12,532 unpredictable children in this Cloudaid City.


    And his ranking was at the bottom!


    ��Eh, another newcomer.��


    ��Huhu, so weak, just Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.��


    ��This bit of strength also dares to come to the Primeval War Realm. Reckon that before long, he��ll be frightened until he doesn��t dare to go out of the city, right?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan landed, he immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.


    Of course, there was more disdain.


    Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor strength was not worth mentioning in the city.


    Ye Yuan knew that the Primeval War Realm had already been open for more than a year.


    It was equivalent to him falling far behind the rest!

 Chapter 2336 - Giving Away Heads

    ��Looking at your appearance, you should have just come back from the dead, right? How many times have you died? Uh, sorry about that. It should be how many dozen times?��


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over the few people��s faces, his tone full of mockery.


    These few people��s strengths were not very strong. The strongest was also merely Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor, but he was mocking him here, it was really ridiculous.


    Sure enough, the moment the few people heard, their faces immediately changed.


    Several dozen times was a bit exaggerated. But they had indeed died more than ten times already.


    But in such an environment, the mortality rate of weaklings was extremely high.


    The eyes of one of them, a youth in brocade, turned cold and he said, ��Brat, newcomers got to have the awareness of newcomers! Being too arrogant, you��ll die very miserably!��


    The youth in brocade was called Yang Ke, the leader of this group of people, a peak Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Their group had just encountered the ambush of an expert outside the city. In the end, their group was annihilated.


    At this time, this group of people was currently upset. When they saw Ye Yuan, they could not help mocking him a little.


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��The moment I entered, you guys have been ridiculing me non-stop. Now, you��re saying that I��m arrogant. Why has the side of reason been occupied by you?��


    Yang Ke said in a cold voice, ��In the Primeval War Realm, the words of the strong are the side of reason! Brat, if you dare to say this sort of words outside the city, you��d already be a dead man!��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Oh, is that so? Then I��ll go out of the city right now. Do you guys dare to come?��


    Yang Ke was stunned, could this guy be a fool?


    They were apprehensive and did not dare to make a move inside the city. But leaving the city, they would be able to strike a fatal blow.


    This kind of thing was very commonly seen outside the city.


    Outside the city, not only did one have to be on guard against fierce beasts that might appear at any time, they even had to take precautions against humans who pop out from God knows where.


    Except, Ye Yuan was a newcomer. There was no god of war points on him at all. Killing would be in vain too.


    According to the Primeval War Realm��s rules, by killing the opponent, one would be able to obtain 10% to 70% of the god of war points on them.


    The higher the opponent��s ranking, the more god of war points obtained, and the fewer conversely.


    In the beginning, some powerful people would intentionally wait for other people��s ranking to get high before hunting them down.


    But over time, the rankings would also become more and more stable.


    Challenging people who ranked higher than them was equivalent to giving away their heads.


    ��Hahaha, are you challenging this emperor? Seen before those who seek death, but never seen before someone like you who��s in such a hurry to court death! Just entered and you want to experience the taste of death? Rest assured, it��s exactly the same as in reality!�� Yang Ke said with a loud laugh.


    Even though Ye Yuan did not have god of war points on him, Ye Yuan was so arrogant. How could he yield?


    Moreover, they had just been group annihilated, finding a rookie to vent was also pretty good.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��m eyeing your god of war points. Although it��s a bit less, it��s better than nothing.��


    The moment the few people heard, they could not help bursting into laughter.


    When Yang Ke heard that, he laughed even harder and said, ��You, this newcomer, are really interesting! Good, very good! Then let��s go outside the city and cross swords, your Grandpa Yang��s god of war points are here. Take it if you have the ability!��


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, directly turning around and heading in the direction out of the city.


    In the city, many martial artists saw that there was a show to watch and could not hold back their curiosity, and also followed after.


    ��This newcomer is really interesting. A Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor is actually so arrogant!��


    A martial artist said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��Heh, those able to enter the Primeval War Realm, which one isn��t an astonishing talent outside? But after arriving here, only then will one know that there��s a heaven beyond heaven, and that there��s always someone better!��


    ��This kid can probably jump ranks and battle outside. But he likely doesn��t know that everyone here can jump ranks and battle! However, there��s no use at all!��


    �� ��


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s action, the group of unpredictable children was very disdainful.


    When they just entered, which one did not have their noses pointed at the sky?


    But along with the passing of time, their confidence was beaten down little by little.


    Until now, they already learned to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.


    Accidentally offending an expert, that expert would chase after you, killing you all the way until you did not dare to go out of the city!


    But it was also not absolutely safe in the city.


    Because there was a time limit in the city.


    Once the time was up, the Primeval War Realm��s rules would directly obliterate you!


    Yang Ke��s squad had a total of six people, two Third Firmament Heavenly Emperors, and four Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    But even if they were Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors, they were peak existences too. They were only a step away from being a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Arriving outside the city, they looked at Ye Yuan like a big bad wolf saw a little white rabbit, having playful expressions on their faces.


    This kid actually really came outside the city.


    ��Peng Yang, go and teach this little brother of ours on how to behave in Cloudaid City!�� Yang Ke said to his companion.


    The companion called Peng Yang had a playful look on his face as he said smilingly, ��Okay, teaching newcomers this sort of thing, I��m most happy to do it! Brat, you must think that you��re very amazing, can jump ranks and challenge opponents! But, each one of us can jump ranks and battle outside! Therefore, after you die, remember to tuck your tail and ����


    Boom!


    Peng Yang��s words had yet to fade and he was already dead.


    Ye Yuan suddenly exploded with a punch, his speed unimaginably quick.


    Everyone did not react yet and Peng Yang already returned to the place of rebirth once more.


    Ye Yuan had a calm and collected look. It was as if he did something very ordinary.


    While at this time, one gilded inscription text after another entered his body.


    This was god of war points.


    Casually killing Peng Yang, Ye Yuan obtained 32 god of war points.


    ��Just this bit of god of war points. You guys are so weak!�� Ye Yuan said with some dissatisfaction.


    Peng Yang��s ranking was not high, but compared to Ye Yuan, it was very high.


    He obtained 30% of Peng Yang��s god of war points, which was also to say that Peng Yang��s god of war points was just in the low 100s.


    Ye Yuan was just speaking his mind, but this was a great insult to Yang Ke and the rest.


    God of war points being low indicated that their strength was weak!


    Actually, their god of war points was not considered low either, especially Yang Ke, he could rank close to 10,000.


    But they had just experienced a group annihilation and lost a lot of god of war points at once. Hence, that was why it appeared little.


    Yang Ke��s gaze was gloomy and he seethed with killing intent as he said, ��Brat, you actually didn��t follow the rules and sneak attacked Peng Yang!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��A fight means a fight. What��s with so much crap? Moreover, isn��t this Primeval War Realm a land of slaughter? Could it be that when killing people , we still have to bow to each other first and say hello?��


    ��Hahaha ����


    A wave of guffaws came from all around.


    Indeed, what Ye Yuan said made a lot of sense.


    They also saw that Ye Yuan��s realm was too low, so they underestimated him.


    Otherwise, why would they be long-winded with him? Most likely, the moment they went out of the city, the six of them would have attacked together and besieged Ye Yuan.


    Yang Ke��s gaze was cold, and he said in a low voice, ��Attack together, kill him!��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Yang Ke��s patience already reached its limit.


    He wanted to wreck this guy to death, and let him know the taste of being so overwhelmed with pain to the point where he wished that he was dead!


    In the Primeval War Realm, being dead was not scary. What was scary was the process of death.


    That process was the exact same as the real body!


    Except, the reality was quite different from what he imagined.


    The moment they came to blows, he discovered how strong Ye Yuan��s strength was!

 Chapter 2337 - Nightmare

    That was right, these unpredictable children were all astonishingly talented, their law comprehensions extremely strong. They could indeed jump ranks and do battle.


    It was just a pity that their strength was still far lacking when compared to same rank divine race powerhouses.


    But who was Ye Yuan?


    Back then, his realm was not as good as Divine Son Xin��s, but he was able to crush the other party.


    Now, his realm could be seen as comparable to a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor. But the thickness of his divine essence was no idea how many times stronger than a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    It was not at all inferior when compared to a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor as well.


    Such strength, even if he did not employ Time Freeze, this kind of heaven-defying divine ability, it would also be too effortless to deal with Yang Ke and company.


    Ye Yuan forcefully resisted Yang Ke two people��s attacks. One punch each, in virtually a blink of an eye, he blew the other three Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors up.


    Perfect eighth transformation golden body was no joke!


    The Heavenspan World��s body-refining powerhouses were countless. But a person who could cultivate the fleshy body to perfect rank eight was one of a kind!


    Yang Ke two people did not hurt Ye Yuan but shocked themselves until their vital energy was in upheaval.


    This scared them badly enough.


    ��This is your strength to jump ranks and battle? It looks like the ranks that you��re jumping isn��t enough!�� Ye Yuan said with rather waned interest.


    He still thought how formidable these unpredictable sons were. In the end, they were weak to the max.


    Of course, Ye Yuan could feel that Yang Ke their strength was indeed very strong.


    With their strength, they could even rival Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    But so what?


    Their so-called jumping ranks were only targeted at the most ordinary Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, that was all.


    Those who have fought with Ye Yuan before, which one was not a prodigy among geniuses?


    Yang Ke��s expression was incomparably ugly. They were lecturing Ye Yuan earlier, making him tuck his tail between his legs and behave.


    Now, their face was really slapped burning hot.


    ��Run!��


    Yang Ke saw that the situation was bad and turned tail and ran.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s too late!��


    It was only to see him punching a fist out, carrying a series of dragon roars, and tearing through the air.


    True Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand!


    Boom!


    Yang Ke two people felt their hearts drop and turned around to resist it.


    But the power of this punch already exceeded their limits.


    After resisting it slightly, they were directly decimated.


    From start to end, it was merely a dozen over breaths of time.


    By the side, all the unpredictable children were stunned from watching.


    The people who were somewhat looking down on Ye Yuan previously felt their faces were burning currently.


    ��He wiped out a squad in a few breaths of time by himself! How �� How can he be so strong?��


    ��Too scary! His fleshy body is actually able to forcefully contend with the attacks of a Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor! Unless �� Unless he��s of the perfect rank eight golden body!��


    ��Heaven beyond heaven; there��s always someone better �� He��s the heaven beyond heaven. He��s the person who��s always better!��


    �� ��


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan slowly entered the city.


    Encountering a few people who delivered their heads the moment he came in, Ye Yuan was still in quite a good mood.


    Annihilating six people, his god of war points already rose to 247.


    His ranking also already rose to rank 11,328, rising more than a thousand places at once.


    While at this time, Yang Ke and the rest who returned to the rebirth point, all had hard-to-conceal depression on their faces.


    They �� were annihilated once more!


    Just returned to Cloudaid City, they were actually annihilated once more!


    With this, their losses were huge.


    Several people��s ranks fell crazily. Especially the few Second Firmament Heavenly Emperors, it was virtually almost falling to their tails.


    ��Damn it, after I died the last time, I expended a Herculean effort before amassing several hundred god of war points. With this, it��s all gone!�� Peng Yang said gloomily.


    He felt like there was a resentful lump in his chest, making his chest almost explode.


    Imagine that you were climbing a mountain and finally climbed halfway up the mountain.


    In the end, your hand slipped and you fell by more than half.


    Another slip and you fell to the starting point.


    At this time, whose mood could be good?


    Yang Ke had a look of lingering fear as he said, ��That punk is too strong! I feel like he didn��t take out his true strength at all and easily wiped us out! I reckon that his true strength will likely rank within 8000!��


    Everyone��s faces were startled and they said, ��It��s impossible, right? Within 8000, that��s middle-stage First Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouses already!��


    Yang Ke had a solemn expression as he said, ��Disregarding other things, with just his perfect rank eight golden body, there��s absolutely no issue with being ranked in the top 9000! If he��s still concealing strength, he can absolutely be ranked in the top 8000!��


    When everyone heard that, they sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Someone smiled bitterly and said, ��Why are we so unlucky, encountering such a jinx the moment we revived? This guy is simply like a nightmare, I don��t want to remember it anymore!��


    Including Yang Ke, everyone had bitter smiles.


    It was really a memory that one could not bear to recall!


    �� ��


    ��Truly a magical world! The flow of time here is a hundred times slower than the outside world! I entered a year late, but actually, 100 years have already passed in this place! With over 100 years�� time, I��m afraid that a large group of powerhouses has emerged, right?��


    Ye Yuan discovered that the Primeval War Realm��s flow of time was very slow. It was only 1% of the outside world!


    If he cultivated in here, it was equivalent to cultivating for 100 years in the outside world!


    This was simply a cultivation paradise to Ye Yuan.


    His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, ��If I can comprehend time law and create a space for Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s alchemy path powerhouses to gain enlightenment on Dao, their strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds! It��s just that I don��t know if there��s an opportunity to comprehend time law here or not!��


    Presently, the human race��s alchemy path powerhouses were a little useless.


    Human leaders like Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets did not care about the alchemy path��s existence at all.


    Because they felt that the alchemy path had declined and would not have much effect on the Doomsday Battle.


    But if there were several people who could comprehend the power of law and comprehend the true Dao pill, then the alchemy path would regain its glory anew, and make the divine race dread!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan was rather excited.


    But very soon, he became a little dejected again.


    Time law was too hard to comprehend. It was even harder than spatial law!


    Although he already entered the door, he had not been able to find a way to improve further all the way until now.


    ��Forget it. Better don��t think too much! Exchanging for some Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures and going out to earn god of war points are more realistic.��


    Everyone who entered the Primeval War Realm came in all on their own.


    All the treasures on their bodies were unable to be brought in.


    Want to use treasures in the Primeval War Realm, one could only make an exchange with god of war points.


    There was a Spirit Treasure Hall, Medicinal Pill Hall, and so on and so forth in the city. They could all be exchanged for by using god of war points.


    Hence, god of war points was extremely important in the Primeval War Realm.


    ��Sir, I wonder how I can help you?�� Ye Yuan entered the Spirit Treasure Hall and an enchanting woman in red clothes came up to greet him.


    ��I need a sword!�� Ye Yuan said.


    The woman in red smiled brightly and said, ��Sir, please follow me.��


    She led Ye Yuan into a place called Sword Pavilion. There were all kinds of swords laid out inside in a dazzling array.


    The woman in red smiled and said, ��Sir, there are tens of thousands of swords in all kinds of styles inside the Sword Pavilion. You can choose freely.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and casually circled one round, and could not help drawing a cold breath.


    These swords were so expensive!


    The roughly 200 god of war points that he had just obtained was barely able to buy 12.


    More importantly, there were no Empyrean spirit treasures here!


    ��That �� Do you guys have Empyrean spirit treasures here?�� Ye Yuan asked rather embarrassedly.

 Chapter 2338 - Prodigal Son

    The woman in red��s expression turned cold as she said, ��Empyrean spirit treasure? Sir, are you making fun of this girl?��


    There were still some martial artists buying swords in the Sword Pavilion currently. Hearing these words, they could not help glancing over sideways with mocking faces.


    Those able to enter the Primeval War Realm were all Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. No one would use Empyrean spirit treasures.


    This guy asked for Empyrean spirit treasures the moment he opened his mouth. He was used to being poor, right?


    But Ye Yuan asked with a serious look, ��Not making fun of Miss. I��m serious! Either way, the swords here are all made of energy and laws. Since it��s able to create heavenly emperor spirit treasures, then it can create Empyrean spirit treasures too, right?��


    Seeing that Ye Yuan��s expression did not seem to be fake, the woman in red said with a frown, ��Can is can. It��s just that �� no one has ever bought Empyrean spirit treasures before. Furthermore, you��re using Empyrean spirit treasures to deal with Heavenly Emperors, isn��t this a joke?��


    By the side, a burly man said mockingly, ��Haha, Miss Redleaf, can��t you tell yet? This kid is clearly a pauper who can��t take out god of war points to buy Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a nod, ��That��s right, I just arrived today and can��t take out too many god of war points. Therefore, I can only substitute it with Empyrean spirit treasures.��


    Redleaf was enlightened and said, ��Like this huh, then you can go outside the city to hunt down fierce beasts and obtain god of war points. Hunting those lowest grade Azure Light Beasts, the money saved can still be used to buy a heavenly emperor spirit treasure.��


    Azure Light Beasts were one of the lowest level fierce beasts in the Primeval War Realm. Its strength was relatively weak, but the god of war points obtained from hunting it was also pitifully little.


    Every 100 Azure Light Beasts killed would only obtain one god of war point.


    However, Azure Light Beasts were actually not as easy to kill as Redleaf said.


    They appeared in groups and often went together in hundreds or thousands.


    Furthermore, the so-called weak was just relatively speaking.


    Even if it was the Azure Light Beast, their strength was significantly stronger than ordinary First Firmament Heavenly Emperors too.


    To martial artists who were weaker, wanting to obtain sufficient god of war points was not easy.


    ��Haha, Miss Redleaf, let him do what he wants! This kid is just a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor. Wanting to get the god of war points for a heavenly emperor spirit treasure, who knows how many years he��ll have to wait until!�� That burly man mocked once more.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he glanced at that burly man.


    Who knew that that burly man glared and threatened, ��What, brat? Not convinced? Keep staring! Do you believe that I will kill you every time I see you?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Very good, I��ve remembered you!��


    When the burly man heard Ye Yuan��s words, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, ��Haha, I am really so scared! Did you guys hear that, he��s remembered me! Brat, then you remember my name, Qin Hu! This name will become your nightmare in the Primeval War Realm!��


    ��It��s over. This kid probably doesn��t know who Qin Hu is, right? A young calf doesn��t fear the tiger!��


    ��Qin Hu is a famous demon king. Furthermore, he likes to stir trouble a lot and already killed until many unpredictable children don��t dare to go out of the city anymore!��


    ��He��s a Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerhouse. It��s said that his ranking already reached the top 8000!��


    �� ��


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan��s unconvinced appearance, each and every one of them could not help secretly shaking their heads.


    Newcomers should be more low-profile, they could not afford to provoke everyone.


    But Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Qin Hu, mn, I��ve remembered this name. This period of time, you don��t go out of the city anymore. It��s very dangerous!��


    Qin Hu��s face turned black, and he said with a cold smile, ��Nice one, punk! Not many people dared to talk to me this way in this Cloudaid City yet! In order to reward your bravery, I will make your divine soul tremble!��


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pay attention to him anymore and turned to Redleaf and said, ��Miss has misunderstood. This Ye doesn��t want one sword, but 1012 swords! Additionally, I need 12 Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures.��


    Redleaf had a shocked face and said, ��You just came today and already have so many god of war points?��


    The others, inclusive of Qin Hu, all had suspicious faces.


    Clearly, they did not think that Ye Yuan had this strength.


    ��Heh, just you brag! You, a newcomer, can have so many god of war points?�� Qin Hu said with a look of disbelief.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about him and shrugged as he said to Redleaf, ��This Ye isn��t bored until the extent where I��ll come and make fun of Miss Redleaf. However, I only have 247 god of war points, the remaining seven god of war points, using it to exchange for a thousand over Empyrean spirit treasures should be sufficient, right?��


    Ye Yuan thought so. After all, Empyrean spirit treasures were worthless in this place, being less than even trash.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, no one was interested at all.


    Redleaf��s vermilion lips opened wide, unable to close her mouth for a long time.


    He only arrived at the Primeval War Realm today, and he actually already obtained 247 god of war points!


    God of war points were not so easy to get, especially to a martial artist who looked very weak like Ye Yuan.


    Redleaf said, ��Sir, you might not know what god of war points means, right? 247 god of war points, to many people, that takes more than ten years to obtain.��


    She felt that Ye Yuan spending god of war points like this was too wasteful.


    Simply a prodigal son!


    Not just her, the other martial artists present also thought so.


    But Ye Yuan did not dare at all. Taking a look at Qin Hu, he said, ��It��s fine. After spending them, there��s still someone who��ll come and give me more!��


    In his heart, he already regarded Qin Hu as a cash withdrawal machine.


    Qin Hu��s face turned black, the anger in his heart growing even more.


    He already made up his mind to make this punk not dare to leave the city again!


    When Redleaf saw that she could not persuade Ye Yuan, she could only say, ��Alright. Since Sir insists on doing so, then the thousand over Empyrean spirit treasures, I��ll count it as five god of war points then. It��s a total of 245 god of war points, sir please pay the bill.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and followed Redleaf and arrived in front of a jade plate.


    He put his palm on it, one gilded rune after another was pulled out of his body, entering the jade plate.


    His god of war points was instantly only left with two pitiful ones.


    And his ranking also dropped to the last place at once.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan really paid so much god of war points, everyone could not help having shocked faces.


    But even more was still feeling that this guy was too prodigal!


    Other people��s ten years�� worth of god of war points, he spent it in one go!


    Moreover, he bought so many Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures, what was the use?


    Ye Yuan took the swords and was immediately satisfied.


    With the sword formation, his strength would be stronger.


    But he had his own plans. He planned on slowly exchanging these thousand over Empyrean spirit treasures into all Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures!


    At that time, the power of his sword formation would be extremely terrifying!


    This was actually very hard to realize outside.


    After all, the outside world��s Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures were very rare.


    Wanting to collect a thousand swords was very, very difficult.


    Killing people and seizing treasures this sort of thing, Ye Yuan could not do it yet.


    But in this Primeval War Realm, it was very easy to do so.


    The Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures here were only composed of energy and laws. They could be supplied limitlessly.


    As for god of war points, he did not care at all.


    As long as his strength was strong enough, would he still be scared that there was no god of war points?


    Wasn��t there going to be god of war points being delivered right away soon?

 Chapter 2339 - Battling Qin Hu

    Ye Yuan put away the sword and slowly walked out of the city.


    Qin Hu followed him from far away, but he walked very carefully, as if afraid of startling Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan discovered it long ago, but he could not wait for the other party to follow.


    He lacked god of war points very much right now!


    If Ye Yuan��s plan was known to others, they would definitely scold him for being prodigal.


    Just take the lowest-grade Heavenly Emperor spirit treasure to calculate it; a thousand swords needed ten thousand god of war points too.


    This god of war points was sufficient to rank within 3000 already.


    This guy was actually just using it to buy swords!


    ��Heh, there��s a good show to watch! That newcomer brat offended Qin Hu. Qin Hu is currently planning on going to find him to settle scores!��


    ��Poor thing, this kid doesn��t seem to have detected it yet that a tail is following behind him.��


    �� ��


    In the crowd, Yang Ke��s ears moved slightly, hearing this news.


    Especially ��newcomer brat�� these few words, it aroused his curiosity at once.


    Upon inquiring, there was a prodigal son who spent more than 200 points and bought a thousand over swords in the Spirit Treasure Hall.


    The moment Yang Ke heard, wasn��t this Ye Yuan?


    ��This guy, forget about that he killed us, he also provoked Qin Hu?�� Yang Ke said in puzzlement.


    ��Heh heh, Qin Hu is a powerhouse ranked within 8000. That punk is dead for sure this time! Boss, let��s go together to take a look!�� Peng Yang said excitedly.


    ��Go!��


    The brothers six people could not hold back their curiosity and also followed after.


    After Ye Yuan left the city, he headed towards the wilderness.


    Before walking very far, a figure blocked his path, it was precisely Qin Hu!


    Qin Hu looked at Ye Yuan with a look of amusement and said, ��Brat, you really have the guts, to really dare leave the city so quickly!��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��If I don��t leave the city, how will you come and give me god of war points?��


    Qin Hu laughed loudly and said, ��Those who dare to speak to me this way are all already dead men. Punk, before long, you��ll doubt life! I will kill you until you don��t dare to leave the city!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Oh, then what are you still waiting for, bring it.��


    Ye Yuan��s nonchalant attitude made Qin Hu greatly enraged in his heart.


    He gave a cold snort, his figure suddenly launching forward. A shocking aura suddenly erupted.


    At the same time, four power of laws added radiance and beauty to each other, reverberating between heaven and earth.


    A powerhouse who fused four powers of law!


    Qin Hu being so arrogant indeed had his capital to be arrogant.


    Ye Yuan had seen before countless geniuses but had never met before a genius who fused four kinds of laws.


    Furthermore, the power of laws that Qin Hu fused, their realms were all extremely high, already reaching the level of rank eight.


    One had to know, each additional power of law fused, the difficulty increased exponentially.


    Fusing three kinds could already be considered a genius among geniuses.


    But Qin Hu fused four kinds, this kind of talent was extremely heaven-defying already.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan finally understood what was called an unpredictable child.


    With talent like Qin Hu��s, jumping ranks to battle was simply as easy as eating and drinking.


    ��Tsk tsk, really envy Qin Hu��s talent!��


    ��This fellow looks boorish and is unreasonable, but actually, he��s extremely talented! His Sword Dao is fused with wind, fire, and water, three kinds of power of law. The power is irresistible!��


    ��That kid thinks that he��s a genius, but how can he know the horror of this Primeval War Realm?��


    �� ��


    When the group of geniuses saw Qin Hu take action, each and every one of them was incomparably envious.


    They were all geniuses too. But compared to Qin Hu, they were simply even less than trash.


    ��Hahaha �� Punk, do you regret it very much now? However, you already have no chance!��


    When Qin Hu saw the surprised expression on Ye Yuan��s face, he could not help being very pleased.


    He appreciated this kind of expression very much!


    Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head and smiling when he heard this. He said, ��Regret? There��s no such word in my dictionary!��


    ��Humph! Reckless and blind brat, go to hell!��


    Qin Hu roared loudly and raised his sword, rushing over.


    For a moment, sword energy intermingled with the other three kinds of power of laws. Its power was irresistible.


    Golden light shone brilliantly on Ye Yuan��s body. An astonishing dragon might similarly surged to the sky.


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan actually relied on his fleshy body to clash together with Qin Hu!


    In the wilderness, two figures crisscrossed, fighting until the earth shook and mountains swayed.


    The more Qin Hu fought, the more alarmed he got. Ye Yuan actually relied on his fleshy body to fight with him until they were locked in a struggle!


    He fused four kinds of power of laws and was actually unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    One had to know, even in the Primeval War Realm, he was an existence who jumped ranks to battle!


    Everyone thought that his ranking was close to rank 8000, but actually, his rank already rose to around 6900.


    But he was actually unable to do anything to a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor brat.


    This kid was actually of the perfect rank eight golden body. Furthermore, he was of the dragon race!


    How could he know that Ye Yuan was an existence who obtained Divine Stele Injecting Spirit, a candidate for the Dragon Clan��s progenitor?


    The dragon race was extremely talented, their strength far surpassed same rank humans in itself.


    The elites among the dragon race could naturally contend with the human race elites.


    And Ye Yuan��s talent was at the top of the pyramid in the dragon race!


    Coupled with the formidable strength of rank eight golden body, fighting to a draw with him was nothing unusual.


    The geniuses who came to watch the battle were long already dumbfounded with shock from watching.


    Some people had already seen before Ye Yuan��s battle with Yang Ke six people and knew about his prowess.


    But they did not know that Ye Yuan was actually so powerful!


    Yang Ke six people were not on the same level as Qin Hu at all.


    Even if the six of them added up together, it was not even worthy enough to carry shoes for Qin Hu!


    But Ye Yuan actually fought to a draw with him.


    ��Just where did this freakish brat pop out from? His strength is actually so strong!��


    ��He can fight to a draw with Qin Hu. Doesn��t that mean that his strength can already rank within 8000?��


    ��Hiss �� A Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor kid actually ranked within 8000, simply dare not imagine!��


    �� ��


    In the Primeval War Realm, jumping ranks and battling was a very indulgent behavior.


    Because the geniuses here were too many.


    Very unfortunately, Qin Hu was that extravagant one.


    But today, the powerful Qin Hu was actually leapfrogged and battled by someone!


    How could these geniuses not be shocked?


    This was also to say that their so-called geniuses, so-called unpredictable auras, were not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan at all!


    Qin Hu gritted his teeth and said angrily, ��Punk, consider me to have erred in judgment! Your strength is indeed very strong, but you��re still hard-pressed to escape death today!��


    Suddenly, his figure retreated explosively.


    At the same time, the sword, wind, fire, water, four kinds of power of laws in his body, started revolving according to some sort of rule.


    Heaven and earth suddenly became berserk until the maneuvering of his power of laws.


    Everyone��s hearts turned fearful, knowing that Qin Hu was going to release a big move!


    This move, very few people could force it out of him.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    ��To be able to force me to use this move, you can be sufficiently proud! Heavenly Dao Combined Spirit Sword!��


    A sword stabbed out, heaven and earth changed colors!


    The sharpness of this sword was unrivaled!


    Except, a hint of disdain showed on Ye Yuan��s face, the dragon might on his body quivering once more.


    Behind him, the spirit of a true dragon suddenly appeared, being incomparably solid. It was as if it was a true dragon descending upon the world.


    Heretic Dragon Dominating Space!

 Chapter 2340 - Ye Yuan Who Keeps His Word

    The spirit of the true dragon overlooked the world from above the firmament, showing disdain over everything in the world.


    That kind of domineeringness carried the world before him!


    Taking a step out, the world was shocked!


    Boom!


    Hills toppled and the earth quaked. The void trembled. Everyone��s countenances changed visibly.


    These two people��s strength was really too fearsome.


    This clashing of major moves was actually evenly matched!


    Qin Hu��s strength was truly formidable, while Ye Yuan��s innate divine ability was a top-notch existence even in the Dragon Clan. Yet he actually only fought to a draw with him.


    The strength of an unpredictable child was displayed to the fullest expression of its beauty and form on Qin Hu.


    However, everyone��s shock was due to Ye Yuan.


    The reason was very simple. Qin Hu was defeated!


    The Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor Ye Yuan fought to a draw with the Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperor Qin Hu!


    This was enough to shock them.


    ��This innate divine ability is really terrifying! In the same rank, who can be his match?��


    ��This is a spatial-attribute innate divine ability, that��s one of the supreme innate divine abilities! Most likely, it��s a top existence in the Dragon Clan too!��


    ��Qin Hu even said that he was going to kill until this kid would not dare to leave the city. Looking at it now, it��s really a joke!��


    ��Looking at it like this, this newcomer kid, his strength should be ranked within 8000 at the lowest too!��


    �� ��


    Just as everyone was exclaiming in amazement, Qin Hu suddenly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    Under the two people��s stalemate, it was finally still Qin Hu who was defeated!


    This kind of confrontation had a tremendous impact force on the martial artist themselves to begin with.


    It was true that Qin Hu was formidable, but how could he be as strong as Ye Yuan��s body?


    Under the circumstances where their strength difference was not great, body-refining martial artists would almost certainly win!


    With Ye Yuan gaining momentum in one move, he immediately chased after. He pursued in haste and pummeled fiercely.


    Qin Hu was seriously injured. So how could he withstand this bout of beating? In a few blows, he was on his dying breath.


    Everyone could not help feeling alarmed from watching. This kid was really vicious when making his move!


    But in this place, everyone existed for god of war points, not being viscous would not do.


    ��Huhu, thank you for your god of war points!�� Ye Yuan looked at the half-dead Qin Hu and said with a light smile.


    Qin Hu said with his dying breath, ��Brat, don��t run if you have the capability! After I revive, I��ll come to find you to settle scores!��


    He lost and was unconvinced!


    His strength was clearly not weaker than Ye Yuan��s, but Ye Yuan relied on the advantage of his body to defeat him.


    Moreover, with his god of war points, once he died once, the losses would be too great.


    He could not swallow this insult!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly in his heart and was very satisfied with Qin Hu��s reaction.


    As long as he employed the sword formation, annihilating Qin Hu would simply be effortless.


    Fusing four kinds of power of laws was indeed powerful.


    But no matter how strong, could it be stronger than the combination of two great source powers?


    But why did he have to expend his strength and unfold a life-and-death struggle with Qin Hu?


    He did it in order to make Qin Hu feel unwilling to submit!


    It was in order to make Qin Hu come out to take revenge!


    This way, he would be able to continue plundering god of war points.


    Wasn��t he going to kill him until he did not dare to come out?


    Fine then, I��ll kill you until you do not dare to come out!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that Qin Hu definitely would not come out alone this time. He would definitely find a helper.


    At that time, heh heh!


    The current Ye Yuan could already predict the scene of god of war points rising rapidly.


    ��Okay, I��ll wait for you here!�� Ye Yuan said with a calm expression.


    Finished saying, with a bang, he finished Qin Hu off with a punch.


    One cluster of runes after another entered Ye Yuan��s body, Ye Yuan��s eyes could not help lighting up.


    So many god of war points!


    Because Ye Yuan��s ranking was only 12,000 plus, but Qin Hu��s ranking was around 7000.


    This huge difference let Ye Yuan obtain 40% of the other party��s god of war points!


    Right now, Ye Yuan already had 1,480 points on him!


    And his ranking already rose to rank 8,941 too.


    Even Ye Yuan himself was also shocked by the points.


    ��Tsk tsk, really awesome!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    Truly becoming a tycoon in an instant!


    Seeing the expression on Ye Yuan��s face, everyone was incredibly envious in their hearts.


    They knew that Ye Yuan definitely obtained a significant amount of god of war points!


    In this Primeval War Realm, the stronger the opponent killed, the more the god of war points obtained.


    But during these 100 years�� time, the rankings were actually already relatively stable.


    Wanting to jump several thousand places to kill the opponent in front was simply a fool��s talk!


    But Ye Yuan killed the formidable Qin Hu just like that and snatched so many god of war points like pulling a tooth from the tiger��s mouth.


    However, Ye Yuan was currently meditating calmly on the spot and was actually really waiting for Qin Hu to come out. This made many people extremely surprised.


    Was this kid a fool?


    Could it be that he really thought that Qin Hu would fight one-on-one with him?


    ��Young man, hurry up and go! Qin Hu has a buddy in the city called Mo Xi. His strength is even a notch above his! You��re only waiting to die by being here!�� A kind-hearted person came forward to persuade him.


    ��Yeah, kid, don��t get too greedy! You waiting for him here is equivalent to waiting for death!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over and he said with a smile, ��Many thanks for everyone��s warning, but this Ye said to wait for him, I won��t go back on my word and will wait here for him to come!��


    When everyone saw that Ye Yuan did not listen to advice, they could not help shaking their heads and sighing.


    This kid was really hopelessly headstrong!


    It was useless even if he was strong, being brainless was too scary!


    Except, the Yang Ke in the crowd was absorbed in thought.


    ��I really didn��t expect that this kid would be so formidable! However, heh heh, he��s a fool, to actually really wait here for Qin Hu to come back!�� Peng Yang said.


    But Yang Ke frowned and said, ��Don��t you guys find it strange?��


    Everyone was taken back, uncertain what it meant.


    ��What��s strange about it? This brat and Qin Hu are about on par. If add in Mo Xi, this kid will be dead for sure!��


    ��Yeah. His fleshy body is strong, but Qin Hu��s strength isn��t weak either! If he doesn��t leave now, it��s tantamount to seeking death!��


    But Yang Ke shook his head and said, ��I heard that he used all the god of war points that he snatched from us to buy swords! Furthermore, he bought over a thousand! But have you guys seen him draw a sword?��


    The vast majority of the people neglected this problem!


    Not that they deliberately overlooked it, but that the combat strength that Ye Yuan displayed made them believe in Ye Yuan��s strength strongly.


    They felt that Ye Yuan��s strongest trump card should be the perfect rank eight golden body!


    Ye Yuan relied on perfect rank eight and could already defeat the Qin Hu who fused four kinds of power of laws. It could be seen how monstrous he was.


    Then did he still need other means?


    But Yang Ke thought of this question!


    He did not know how strong Ye Yuan��s sword arts were, but in this Primeval War Realm, there definitely would not be someone silly enough to spend all the god of war points on them to go and buy something useless!


    Yang Ke��s followers could not help being stunned, also discovering this issue now.


    But Yang Ke smiled strangely and said, ��I��m somewhat curious now, just how strong his sword arts are!��


    �� ��


    An hour later, two figures came out of the city with a howl, arriving in no time!


    These two people were precisely Qin Hu and his buddy, Mo Xi!


    The two people, one in front and one behind, blocked off all of Ye Yuan��s paths of retreat.


    Qin Hu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a loud laugh, ��Punk, you really keep your promises, to actually wait here to die! Hahaha ����

 Chapter 2341 - : Qin Hu, You’ve Screwed Me Over This Time!

    ��My greatest plus point is that I��m a man of my word! Furthermore, you seem to have forgotten. I said before to kill you until you don��t dare to go out of the city.��


    Ye Yuan was very calm and did not feel surprised because Qin Hu brought a helper.


    Furthermore, he felt very interested in this Mo Xi from listening to the other people��s discussions instead.


    With regards to such a big point giver, it would not do if he was not interested either!


    Mo Xi looked at Ye Yuan with a look of amusement and said with a light smile, ��Huhu, kid, you really don��t know about the immensity of heaven and earth! The Primeval War Realm��s waters are much deeper than you think. You can��t play just because you��re talented!��


    He naturally knew about Ye Yuan��s strength. It was just that fighting two-on-one, it was useless no matter how strong Ye Yuan was.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mo Xi and suddenly said, ��Your esteemed self is helping Qin Hu. Are you also going to kill this Ye until I don��t dare to go out of the city?��


    Mo Xi could not help laughing as he said, ��Of course! Qin Hu and I are extremely close friends in reality as well. You killed him once. So how can I make it easy for you? Your question was very moronic!��


    But Ye Yuan smiled brilliantly and said, ��That��s good then. I can set my mind at ease.��


    The others were all speechless. This kid was too defenseless, he could still smile at this time!


    Moreover, these words were indeed moronic enough!


    You could set your mind at ease?


    At ease about what?


    ��The two of you don��t go out of the city anymore in the future. Otherwise, if I see once, I��ll kill once!�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    ��Hahaha �� Mo Xi, this kid probably still hasn��t figured out the situation until now! Looks like he��s underestimating you. Showcase your strength and let him take a look!�� Qin Hu said with a loud laugh.


    Mo Xi nodded his head and said coolly, ��Okay!��


    One mysterious and profound power of law after another suddenly descended, echoing around Mo Xi.


    Earth, fire, water, wind!


    It was another four kinds of power of laws!


    Furthermore, these four kinds of power of laws were different from Qin Hu��s. They could form a perfect closed loop, the power unable to be mentioned in the same breath.


    This Mo Xi��s strength was much stronger than Qin Hu��s!


    At the same time, four beads of different colors slowly rose up, revolving around him.


    The power of the four kinds of laws suddenly increased significantly again and also emitted a rhythmic tempo along with the four beads.


    ��These four beads are called the Four Directional Beads, a set of peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure! They correspond respectively to earth, fire, water, and wind, four kinds of power of laws, and are able to make my strength become a lot stronger! Kid, you try repeating those words earlier!�� Mo Xi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile.


    While on the other side, Qin Hu��s power of laws had already been released.


    His entire cultivation was all on his sword, his strength also fearsome.


    It was just that compared to Mo Xi��s Four Directional Beads, it was significantly lousier.


    The two of them joining forces, it was hard to find a rival among this Cloudaid City��s Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperors.


    No matter how great Ye Yuan��s strength was, it was also impossible to be their match!


    ��Hahaha, kid, lost all hope, right? Mo Xi��s strength is even above mine! With the two of us teaming up, are you still harboring hopes of getting lucky in your heart?�� Qin Hu said smugly.


    Seeing Mo Xi��s strength, everyone was incredibly shocked.


    Everyone only heard that he was impressive, but it seemed like his strength was very high. Earlier, they thought he was about the same as Qin Hu.


    But looking at it now, that was not the case!


    ��So strong! I didn��t expect that Mo Xi��s strength is much stronger than Qin Hu��s!��


    ��This kind of power of laws doesn��t have the slightest flaws at all. Furthermore, with the augmentation of a peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure, its power is unimaginable!��


    ��No wonder it��s said that Mo Xi��s ranking is actually above Qin Hu��s. Looks like his god of war points were all used on these four beads!��


    ��This boy, not listening to the advice of the elderly, suffering is right ahead! Asked him to not get too greedy, but he wouldn��t listen!��


    �� ��


    Many people present all started gloating over his misfortune. It was true that Ye Yuan��s strength was strong, but he did not listen to other people��s words.


    They clearly had good intentions but were treated as ill-intent.


    Actually, it was them who were thinking too much. Ye Yuan just wanted to get more god of war points, that was all.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan finally touched his swords.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    Suddenly, a thousand over swords scattered all around, dancing wildly in the air.


    Seeing this scene, Yang Ke��s entire body trembled, and he actually gave a low cry rather agitatedly, ��He finally deployed his swords! I indeed didn��t guess wrongly! What he��s strongest at isn��t the physical body, but �� Sword Dao! No, wait, there��s also �� Formation Dao!��


    A thousand over swords, it was impossible to just be Sword Dao.


    A bunch of Empyrean spirit treasures smashing over, he could blast it to dregs with a punch, what was there still?


    At this time, Yang Ke had a strong feeling that he might be witnessing the birth of a miracle!


    This newcomer was too formidable!


    ��Boss, what are you agitated for? Even if he knows Sword Dao and Formation Dao, it��s also impossible to be those two people��s match, right?�� Peng Yang said.


    Another person said, ��Yeah, these two are too strong! If that punk is the same rank as them, there��s still a show. But, his realm is too low!��


    Yang Ke suddenly smiled and said, ��Heh heh, you guys just watch!��


    Ye Yuan��s face did not show the slightest change in expression. He just said coolly, ��I said before, I will kill until you guys don��t dare to go out of the city! Do you guys really think that this Ye is kidding?��


    ��Hahaha �� this is your trump card? This pile of metal scraps and you want to deal with us teaming up?�� When Qin Hu saw the situation, he said with a loud laugh.


    Mo Xi also shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Huhu, kid, you really don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Using a bunch of Empyrean spirit treasures and you want to deal with the two of us? Too naive!��


    Ye Yuan gave them a cold glance and said coolly, ��Is that so?��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, the sword formation unexpectedly erupted!


    Sword Dao source and Formation Dao source reverberated between heaven and earth, enveloping Qin Hu and Mo Xi two people inside all at once.


    All of a sudden, a feeling of immense danger welled up in their hearts, making the two people��s faces change wildly.


    ��Two great source powers! Qin Hu, you��ve screwed me over this time!��


    When Mo Xi saw Ye Yuan take action, his mind shook heavily.


    He shouted at the top of his voice, roaring angrily.


    At the same time, Qin Hu��s expression also changed wildly, and he yelled, ��Talk again later! Let��s join hands first to repel the enemy!��


    It was already too late to want to run!


    Ye Yuan��s speed was too fast, the swords coming and going were merely a matter of an instant.


    In a blink, Ye Yuan��s sword formation already covered Mo Xi.


    In an instant, he felt a huge cage covering him firmly, unable to break free at all.


    This sword formation was too scary!


    His Four Directional Beads�� power was tremendous, but no matter how great his power was, in front of source power, it was too weak until it could not stand up to a breeze either.


    The power of source, that was an existence that only Deva Realm powerhouses could touch!


    This guy was just a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor. So how did he comprehend it?


    Even though Ye Yuan��s sword formation was formed with metal scraps, his power was currently being divided on 1,008 swords. He should not not have much power left.


    Qin Hu had a conflicted look. He wanted to run, but he still endured it.


    The loss outweighed the gain in doing so!


    Hence, he released his full strength and rushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    But he had yet to arrive when he saw the sword formation dice Mo Xi into minced meat as if chopping vegetables and cutting melons!


    For a moment, everyone was shocked!

 Chapter 2342 - Pitiful

    ��The combination of two great sources! Too strong! Truly too strong! What did I say earlier? What he��s strongest at is definitely sword technique. I didn��t say it wrongly, right?��


    Yang Ke was very agitated. He also did not know whether it was because he saw such a heaven-defying sword formation or because he guessed correctly.


    However, his companions were clearly all very surprised.


    They did not expect that it was really guessed correctly by Yang Ke.


    It was just that even Yang Ke also did not expect that Ye Yuan��s swordsmanship was actually so powerful!


    One source power was already utterly shocking.


    The sword formation created by the combination of two great source powers truly had boundless power.


    Such a fearsome Mo Xi kicked the bucket without even blocking a single exchange.


    Ye Yuan did not waste his time, controlling the thousand over swords to return to him and speeding toward Qin Hu.


    Qin Hu was long already overwhelmed with terror. Under a loud roar, he also went straight back home.


    The onlooking unpredictable children were all shocked until they were dumbfounded with shock.


    They never could have thought that this battle would end in such a manner.


    They thought that this would be an astonishingly great battle. Ye Yuan would try his best, but he would still die under the teaming up of Qin Hu and Mo Xi.


    But the battle was merely several breaths of time from start to end.


    Only then did those people who urged Ye Yuan understand that Ye Yuan truly had nothing to fear, and was not that he could not listen to persuasion.


    ��Impressive! How did this kid cultivate, he��s simply a freak!��


    ��Qin Hu really did a massive tumble with this. His god of war points will probably be reduced by half, right?��


    ��A perfect rank eight golden body is already freakish enough. So who would have thought that he actually also comprehended two powers of source?��


    �� ��


    Above the void, Ye Yuan��s god of war points soared endlessly and already broke through 3000 points.


    Breaking through to 3000 on the first day of entering the city, this was likely the first person among the one million unpredictable children too.


    Ye Yuan received the god of war points, returned to the city, and directly arrived at the Spirit Treasure Hall.


    When Redleaf saw Ye Yuan, she could not help but ask doubtfully, ��Isn��t the god of war points on Sir already spent finish? Why did you come back again?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Someone is generous and keeps giving me god of war points non-stop. Miss Redleaf, Jade True Sword, give me ten of them!��


    Redleaf opened her mouth wide, looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    Jade True Sword was a peak heavenly emperor spirit treasure. One sword would cost 372 god of war points!


    This guy wanted to exchange for ten in one go?


    Where did he get so many god of war points?


    Redleaf suddenly thought of Qin Hu, but even Qin Hu probably did not have so many god of war points either, right?


    The moment he settled the bill, she discovered to her shock that Ye Yuan really had that many god of war points!


    When Ye Yuan left Spirit Treasure Hall, Redleaf did not even recover from the shock.


    Ye Yuan spent all the god of war points on him and went straight out of the city, leaving Cloudaid City.


    �� ��


    In Cloudaid City, a figure appeared rather flustered.


    ��Hey, did that punk called Ye Yuan really leave?��


    ��Yes, we saw him leave with our own eyes!��


    ��You��re sure that you didn��t see wrongly?��


    ��For sure!��


    Qin Hu was already asking the seventh person here. Everyone told the same story, all saying that Ye Yuan already left. Only then did he finally set his mind at rest.


    Returning to the city, he naturally could not avoid being reproved by Mo Xi.


    It was fine that he himself got screwed, he even dragged his close friend into the water.


    But fortunately, Qin Hu did not flee in the face of danger. The friendship between them could still continue.


    ��That brat already left. Let��s hurry up and leave the city too? If we run into that brat, he��ll definitely kill us again!��


    Qin Hu inquired around and decided to leave the city right away.


    He did not want to run into this monster again!


    But Mo Xi was much more cautious than him. He shook his head and said, ��Wait another two days! Going out now, it��s very easy to run into him. Furthermore, he might be intercepting us for all we know.��


    ��Right, right, right! It��s still you who��s smart!�� Qin Hu repeatedly approved.


    Two days later, the two went out of the city cautiously, looking all around.


    Discovering that there wasn��t Ye Yuan��s figure, their hearts finally calmed down.


    ��Let��s hurry up and go, make sure not to run into that brat! I��ve already inquired clearly, he headed in the direction of Wish Valley, we��ll go in the opposite path of him, go to the Central Plains!�� Qin Hu hurriedly said.


    Mo Xi nodded and said, ��Okay, we��ll go to the Central Plains!��


    The two were just about to depart when suddenly, a voice came out of the void.


    ��Gentlemen, this Ye has been waiting for a long time. You guys are in a hurry. Where are you headed?��


    Hearing this voice, Qin Hu two people��s hair stood on end, all the goosebumps on their bodies rising.


    This was simply the devil��s voice.


    Only to see Ye Yuan��s figure walk out of the void, already cutting off the two people��s path to withdraw back to the city.


    ��Y-Y-You �� didn��t you leave already? W-Why would you show up here?�� Qin Hu��s expression changed wildly, scared until even his words were stammering.


    Mo Xi had a stunned face and said, ��His spatial law likely already reached an unimaginable level! So when he hides in the void, we can��t discover him at all.��


    That was right, Ye Yuan deliberately left behind a false impression of having left. Following that, he shuttled into the void, and quietly sneaked back, waiting for the two to leave the city.


    Before killing until the two did not dare to go out of the city, how could he leave?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Since you understand, then I��ll send you guys on your way then!��


    ��Wait a minute ����


    Qin Hu still wanted to say something, but Ye Yuan did not give him the chance at all. The sword formation already greeted them, annihilating the two of them instantly.


    Just went out of the city and they died again.


    Qin Hu returned to the rebirth point and simply wanted to tear, but had no tears.


    He originally had close to 3700 god of war points on him. After dying a few times, his god of war points directly shrunk by more than half.


    Ye Yuan this fellow was too hateful, deliberately spending all the god of war points on him in order to fleece more of his god of war points.


    His ranking already fell to around the ranks of 9000.


    Mo Xi was not much better than him too, he just died one less than him. Right now, it had also shrunk by close to half.


    ��F*ck you! Did you have nothing better to do? What the hell kind of monster did you provoke?! Forget about that he��s a perfect eight transformation! Two great source powers, I��ve also resigned myself to it! Now, he��s even proficient in spatial law! Do you think we should go out of the city or not?�� Mo Xi bellowed crazily at Qin Hu.


    He was really going crazy!


    If he was merely strong, forget it. Could not afford to provoke, I could hide.


    But Ye Yuan��s spatial law was too powerful. With their strength, they could not detect this guy at all.


    Then how would they know when Ye Yuan would leave?


    With this, they really did not dare to go out of the city anymore!


    Not far away, many people saw the bellowing Mo Xi and the Qin Hu who looked like a bullied wife, and they could not help casting sympathetic gazes.


    In the crowd, there was still Yang Ke and the rest.


    At this time, they felt extremely grateful.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan did not target them. Otherwise, they would be much more miserable than these two right now.


    Each person could only stay for 20 days�� time in the city.


    Not leaving for 20 days, they would be directly obliterated by Heavenly Dao.


    This time, Qin Hu two people endured for 20 days and finally still decided to make another run for it.


    But just arriving outside the city, they were defeated by Ye Yuan once more.


    With this, they really did not dare to go out of the city anymore.


    Another 20 days passed. The pitiful Qin Hu and Moxi were directly obliterated by Heavenly Dao.


    Half a year��s time passed just like this, they were consecutively obliterated by Heavenly Dao close to ten times before going out of the city once again in trepidation.

 Chapter 2343 - A Strange Couple

    Just as Qin Hu two people were frightened until they did not dare to go out of the city, Ye Yuan had long already left Cloudaid City.


    He naturally would not really accompany these two people and keep on playing. Furthermore, he knew that with those few times, those two likely did not dare to go out of the city anymore as well.


    He had also earned enough god of war points from these two and there was nothing to mess with anymore.


    However, those two were intimidated from killing and did not dare to gamble at all.


    They would rather be killed by Heavenly Dao than be willing to give Ye Yuan god of war points anymore.


    Sun Moon Canyon was a relatively dangerous place around Cloudaid City.


    In the canyon, there were many middle-stage Heavenly Emperor Realm fierce beasts coming and going.


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, this place was clearly the most suitable cultivation place.


    Before leaving, Ye Yuan made another trip to Spirit Treasure Hall and used Qin Hu two people��s god of war points, and exchanged for 36 low-grade Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures.


    He made a slight modification to the sword formation, with 12 peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures as the core, 48 low-grade heavenly emperor spirit treasures as auxiliary, driving a thousand Empyrean spirit treasures.


    This way, with the augmentation of peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures, the power of the sword formation grew even stronger.


    In the Primeval War Realm, as long as one left the city, there was a possibility of encountering dangers at any time.


    Of course, the closer to the cities the place, the weaker the fierce beasts. The further away from the cities the place, the stronger the fierce beasts.


    Walking all this way, Ye Yuan killed many fierce beasts, but the god of war points obtained were not a lot.


    Only all the way until now did he know how hard it was to obtain god of war points.


    Killing low-level fierce beasts did not seem to have many gods of war points.


    While killing high-level fierce beasts, after your ranking became high, the god of war points obtained would get lesser and lesser.


    There would come a day where your bottleneck would arrive.


    So in this place, you needed to keep on getting stronger, before you could surpass yourself.


    ��Eh, hubby, there��s a young fellow here!��


    ��You��re not allowed to look! Keep looking and I��ll kill him!��


    ��Hehe, hubby, I just like your jealous appearance! Why not, we kill him together?��


    ��Muack muack, wifey, I also love your beautiful and charming appearance the most! However, this little fellow��s realm is too low, there��s also no benefit in killing him, spare him then.��


    ��Hehe, my hubby is the most, most kind! Love you!��


    ��Muack muack, wifey, I love you too!��


    �� ��


    All of a sudden, a man and a woman walked over from not far away.


    The two people��s conversation made Ye Yuan feel a chill.


    This was clearly a pair of Dao companions. It was just that the two were chummy until it made people despair when they were talking.


    Ye Yuan looked over, the man was unbelievably ugly, and the woman was well-matched with him.


    Then the man said that the woman was beautiful and charming, while the woman said that the man was handsome and tall.


    He really did not know where their courage came from.


    These two people were really one family. Not entering the household door, they were quite a lively pair of living treasures.


    But such a pair of ugly man and woman, they were actually unpredictable children too. It still made Ye Yuan quite surprised.


    As the saying went, one should not judge other people based on their looks. It was probably like this.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pay attention to the two either and planned on leaving straightaway.


    If they were to really make a move, he was naturally not afraid either.


    Who would have expected that he was about to leave when that woman suddenly said, ��Little Brother, your strength is too low. Why not come together with us? Us husband and wife will protect you!��


    The moment the man heard, he was immediately enraged and said, ��Argh, infuriating me to death, you still said that you didn��t take fancy on this pretty boy!��


    The woman rolled her eyes and said, ��Silly darling! I saw that this babe is friendly and thought of our baby! If he was still alive, he��d probably be as handsome as him, right?��


    As she said, the woman actually shed tears.


    The moment the man heard, he also fell silent, and actually choked silently.


    Ye Yuan originally did not want to care about the two but seeing the two get worked up, not seeming to be fake, he felt awkward to leave as well.


    However, when he was just about to open his mouth to refuse, the man suddenly said, ��Kid, you heard it, my wife sees that you��re pitiful. In this Sun Moon Canyon, stick around with us husband and wife then!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with cupped fists, ��Many thanks for your husband and wife��s kindness, but I��m used to traveling alone and won��t impose on you two.��


    His words were said very courteously.


    After all, they had good intentions. So Ye Yuan naturally maintained some respect.


    It was just that the moment the man heard, he was indignant.


    His face turned sullen, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Asked you to follow, just follow. What��s with all the crap?��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help shaking his head. They were truly a pair of weirdos.


    The moment the woman heard, she hurriedly said, ��Goodness gracious, you silly darling. What will you do if you frightened that kid? Little brother, this place is really very dangerous! Furthermore, there are also a lot of bad guys in Sun Moon Canyon. You should follow us. We can share some god of war points with you!��


    This woman was really protecting him like protecting a calf.


    However, Ye Yuan himself came to train in the first place. What the hell would it be if he followed these two?


    Hence, he could only refuse this kind-intention.


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists once more and said, ��Madam, this Ye really appreciates your kind intentions. It��s just that this Ye came here to train. It��s seriously hard to follow you two. Farewell, the two of you.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan turned around and was about to leave.


    But right at this time, there was suddenly a blur in front of his eyes, that man blocked in front of him.


    The man had a grim look, appearing very angry, and said, ��You punk, don��t know how to appreciate favors! Since you��re not willing to follow us, then I can only use force!��


    Ye Yuan could not help being unable to stifle his laughter when he heard it. Heard before forcing a sale, never heard before compelling to follow and cultivate.


    ��This big brother, if you can keep this Ye behind, then there��s also no harm in this Ye follow you guys!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The man said, ��Heh heh, punk, what high-sounding sentiments! You still don��t know the two of us husband and wife��s titles, right? The two of us are Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck[1]. We��re very famous in the Heavenspan World too!��


    Ye Yuan was aloof and indifferent and said coolly, ��Senior Heaven Mandarin, please!��


    Heaven Mandarin��s face turned black. A punch suddenly struck over.


    But his attack clearly held back some strength. In his view, how could Ye Yuan��s small body withstand his one punch?


    While Earth Duck smiled by the side and did not speak, an appearance of watching a show.


    Facing this punch, Ye Yuan did not avoid it and similarly threw a punch over.


    He understood that he could only talk to this Heaven Mandarin with strength!


    Boom!


    A loud bang came over, Ye Yuan did not budge an inch, while Heaven Mandarin fell several steps back.


    A tremendous force transmitted into his bosom and he hurriedly revolved divine essence to dispel it.


    This punch, Ye Yuan similarly did not use his full strength too.


    But this husband and wife two people had surprised expressions, clearly not expecting that Ye Yuan��s strength was actually so strong.


    ��Perfect eighth transformation! Kid, I couldn��t tell that you still have some real skills!�� Heaven Mandarin said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Heaven Mandarin, can this Ye go now?��


    Who knew that Heaven Mandarin shook his head and said, ��The two of us husband and wife mean what we say. Ask you to follow, you have to follow! Keep being long-winded and I��m going to be serious!��


    Ye Yuan also had some anger aroused from being repeatedly harassed by these two people.


    These two were clearly harassing with unreasonable demands.


    ��Is that so? Then this Ye will have to witness Senior Heaven Mandarin��s brilliant moves! Please!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    [1] A play on words, mandarin ducks mean an affectionate couple.

 Chapter 2344 - : Eight Great Source Powerhouses!

    Upon exchanging blows, Heaven Mandarin let out all sorts of strange cries, making Ye Yuan��s scalp tingle.


    However, these strange cries were extremely formidable. It actually contained sound wave attacks and achieved the same wondrous effect as the Voice of the Dragon God with different means.


    Furthermore, Heaven Mandarin��s sound wave attack was already not far from the power of source.


    Coupled with the strength of a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yuan was actually not a match by just relying on the power of the fleshy body.


    ��Hahaha, brat, know my prowess now?�� Heaven Mandarin said smugly.


    But right at this time, a series of sword cries sounded out. Ye Yuan already brought out his sword formation.


    The moment the sword formation arose, Heaven Mandarin��s expression suddenly changed and he cried out strangely, ��Boy, I didn��t expect that you still had such capability! Wifey, quickly come and help!��


    The Earth Duck by the side was also extremely surprised. Clearly, she did not expect that such a little fellow actually comprehended two great powers of source.


    With her husband calling, Earth Duck joined the battle without the slightest hesitation.


    However, same as Heaven Mandarin, Earth Duck also emitted a series of strange cries the moment she came in.


    However, the power was completely different.


    The two people combining, their sound wave attacks actually miraculously stepped into the realm of source!


    Coupled with the two people��s strength of Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperors, they actually fought on pair with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was greatly surprised in his heart. He really rarely ran into someone who could rely on the power of source to fight with him until they were evenly matched.


    Want to deal with Ye Yuan, there was only by relying on powerful cultivation realm, to carry out an unreasonable suppression.


    Competing in power of laws was equivalent to seeking death.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know that the shock in Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck��s hearts was a hundred times than his!


    Just now, they were still boasting shamelessly, saying that they wanted Ye Yuan to stick around with him.


    But in a blink, Ye Yuan fought one-versus-two, and actually fought with them until neither could gain the upper hand.


    ��Hubby, this babe is so formidable, to actually comprehend two great powers of source!��


    ��Wifey, if our babe didn��t die, he might also be so formidable now!��


    ��That��s for sure!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You two, how about we just stop here?��


    ��Alright, alright, not fighting anymore! You, this babe, are really strong. Let��s stop fighting, can we talk?�� Earth Duck said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright.��


    Earth Duck was overjoyed and dragged Ye Yuan to start jabbering away.


    One could tell that she genuinely liked Ye Yuan.


    Earth Duck was like a loudmouth, talking about the two of them husband and wife��s anecdotes.


    It turned out that back then, they were also just a pair of very ordinary Empyrean husband and wife, and were not very outstanding.


    They even gave birth to a son and doted on their son a lot.


    Their son��s talent was astonishing, the moment he was born, he was peak True God. He also cultivated very fast. Using only ten thousand years, he cultivated to peak Empyrean Realm. Just a step more, he would be able to step into the realm of Heavenly Emperor.


    But something unexpected may happen at any time. Because his son offended a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, he was killed by the other party.


    The husband and wife two people were overwhelmed with pain to the point where they wished they were dead. Hence, their temperament changed drastically.


    As the saying went, matters of the world were hard to predict, and this also paved open the two people��s path of defying the heavens.


    Their son dead, the two of them had all hopes dashed to pieces, and only had one thought remaining, that was to take revenge.


    But the Heavenly Emperor was too strong to them!


    As a result, the husband and wife two people supported each other and actually walked further and further on this path of sound law.


    Later, the both of them broke through to Heavenly Emperor, and even comprehended sound source!


    The Heavenly Emperor powerhouse who was originally undefeatable in their eyes, already became unbelievably weak.


    The two killed the Heavenly Emperor and avenged their revenge, wandering the world ever since.


    Because these husband and wife two people had strange personalities, they provoked many powerful enemies.


    But their strength was formidable. Relying on the power of sound source, they even slew many powerful enemies.


    Later, they also earned their titles of Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck.


    Hearing these two people��s stories, Ye Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder, also filled with emotions at the unpredictability of heaven��s secrets.


    Under normal circumstances, these two absolutely would not have become such major powers.


    But because of their son��s death, it became the current situation.


    ��Little guy, I found you agreeable the moment I saw you, feeling like you��re especially like our son. Furthermore, you��re also different from the rest. When others see us pestering like this, they will be killing intent aroused. But you didn��t�� Earth Duck said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I won��t offend people unless I��m offended. You husband and wife didn��t have ill-intentions toward me. So this Ye naturally won��t deal a killing blow either. Alright, many thanks for the two of your boundless hospitality. This Ye is really going to cultivate now, farewell.��


    Earth Duck had a reluctant look, but they also knew that they could not keep Ye Yuan behind, and could only let Ye Yuan leave.


    Just as Ye Yuan was about to leave, his expression suddenly changed.


    A series of ripples suddenly surfaced in the surrounding space. One powerful aura after another came out of the void.


    ��Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck, I searched for you guys for a very long time already! This time, let��s see what you guys run to!��


    A man in black robes walked out of the void and looked at Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck as he said with a resentful look.


    At the same time, in the other seven directions, seven figures also appeared.


    These eight people, the auras on each person was extremely powerful. They were not the slightest bit weaker than Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck.


    Heaven Mandarin��s brows furrowed and he looked at the man in black and said, ��Jiang Zhe, you really linger on relentlessly! Also, you guys, you actually ran together!��


    ��Heh, you two freaks, you don��t know how many powerhouses you��ve provoked! Today, with us eight great source powerhouses moving out in unison, see where you guys can still run! In the future, see you guys once, kill you once!�� Jiang Zhe said.


    Ye Yuan��s expression also changed when he heard that they were actually all source powerhouses!


    How capable at provoking were this husband and wife two people, to actually draw eight great source powerhouses to team up all of a sudden.


    However, with the two of their strange personalities, there was really the possibility.


    Now, these eight people were clearly banding up to deal with them.


    Earth Duck frowned and said, ��Fine, you let Young Friend Ye leave. We��ll slowly settle our scores!��


    Jiang Zhe gave Ye Yuan a glance and said disdainfully, ��This little thing is together with the two of you, two old freaks, can he still be anything good? It��s naturally �� killing together!��


    Buzz ��


    While talking, Jiang Zhe snapped his fingers, a lightning ball that radiated electricity in all directions, flew toward Ye Yuan, the speed inconceivably fast.


    Lightning source!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed. Lifting his hand, it was a Transient Heavenly Dragon Hand.


    Boom!


    The lightning ball being punched heavily by Ye Yuan was directly annihilated.


    Jiang Zhe underestimated Ye Yuan too much. So this move was very casual. Ye Yuan naturally resolved it very casually too.


    But landing in Jiang Zhe��s eyes, he was naturally somewhat surprised.


    ��Eh, a little interesting! This kid actually originates from the Dragon Clan. Furthermore, he��s a perfect eighth transformation! Presently, in this Heavenspan World, those able to cultivate the physical body to the perfect eighth transformation are rare. Kid, what��s your name called?��


    Clearly, Jiang Zhe became a little interested in Ye Yuan.


    ��None of your business!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    What annoyed him the most was Jiang Zhe��s appearance of arbitrarily deciding the life and death of others.


    Clearly came to find trouble with Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck, but wanted to implicate others.


    He did not even finish saying a sentence yet and he wanted to kill him.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan naturally would not show Jiang Zhe any good attitude.


    Jiang Zhe was first stunned when he heard that, then his face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, I originally wanted to spare you. Looking at it now, it��s you who are seeking death yourself!��

 Chapter 2345 - Kindly Accepting

    ��This sentence, I��ll return it to you as it is! I originally wanted to spare you, but now �� prepare to die!�� Ye Yuan replied unceremoniously.


    These words immediately drew a wave of loud laughter from the eight great source powerhouses.


    A Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor saying this sort of words was really very hilarious in their view.


    A middle-aged man in white robes could not help laughing as he said, ��Huhu, you think that with a perfect eighth transformation, you can be invincible in this Primeval War Realm? Boy, you��re still too inexperienced!��


    Earth Duck said, ��Young Friend Ye, in a while, we��ll hold these guys back. You go first! They are all source powerhouses. You��re not their match by yourself!��


    ��If I want to leave, just the likes of them can��t hold me back still. If I want to stay, none of them can leave!�� Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Zhe, his tone exuding domineeringness.


    It was just that this declaration sounded like childish words to the eight great source powerhouses.


    Perfect eighth transformation, was it very impressive?


    Jiang Zhe said to the white-robed male, ��Lin Zhan, this brat will be handed to you! Regroup with us after killing him. These two old freaks�� source laws are rather formidable. They are not easy to deal with.��


    Lin Zhan nodded his head and said, ��Relax, I��ll dispose of him within three moves!��


    Jiang Zhe nodded and said, ��Attack together! This time, we must make these two old fellows pay the price!��


    The seven great source powerhouses�� powers of law were released fully. One astonishing law undulation after another instantly reverberated inside Sun Moon Canyon.


    Even Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck two people also felt tremendous pressure.


    ��Young Friend Ye, don��t put up a bold front anymore! Find a chance and quickly escape! You don��t need to care about us!�� Earth Duck said with concern.


    She knew Ye Yuan��s strength, dealing with one source powerhouse was not an issue.


    But if Ye Yuan did not leave and attract even more source powerhouses, that would not be good.


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan was still slightly critical of this strange husband and wife pair. But after listening to their tragic experience, Ye Yuan could not hate them anymore as well.


    That pain of losing a loved one, he felt deeply affected by it.


    The things that this husband and wife two people had suffered at that time, he could understand fully.


    Furthermore, this Earth Duck was genuinely concerned about him.


    ��Heh heh, you guys had better worry about yourselves!�� Jiang Zhe said with a cold laugh.


    Seven great source powerhouses attacking at the same time, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck cried strangely over and over again, letting out all kinds of sound martial techniques to deal with the seven people.


    Ye Yuan could tell that these two still appeared rather strained under the pincer attacks of the seven people.


    However, sound law was also an extremely high-level law. Coupled with these two people��s tacit understanding and cooperation, their strength far surpassed those in the same rank.


    For some time, they were actually able to barely ward them off.


    ��Brat, stop looking, this Heavenly Emperor will send you back to the city right now! This level of battle isn��t what you can take part in!�� Lin Zhan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smug look.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Lin Zhan��s voice had yet to fade, only to see Ye Yuan nonchalantly spit a word out of his mouth.


    Heavenly Dao suddenly descended, locking Lin Zhan firmly.


    His gaze was incomparably shocked, wanting to speak, but was completely unable to move.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    The sword formation suddenly arose, rushing over towards Lin Zhan.


    In a breath, Lin Zhan was diced into pieces.


    His source power had yet to be put to good use, and he was already slain by Ye Yuan.


    Unimaginably fast!


    ��Since you��re in such a hurry to go back to the city, then this Ye will give you a ride then.�� Ye Yuan said coolly, but sadly, Lin Zhan already could not hear it anymore.


    Many runes entered Ye Yuan��s body, Ye Yuan felt that his god of war points suddenly increased by more than 2000.


    Source powerhouses were indeed different, their god of war points was also very abundant!


    Lin Zhan could not hear it, but those powerhouses fighting over there felt this terrifying Heavenly Dao undulation already.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Word! This kid actually knows Heavenly Dao True Word!��


    ��What he mobilized should be time law! To be able to mobilize a Heavenly Dao True Word that��s of the two great supreme laws, too terrifying!��


    ��Also, that sword formation! Two great powers of source! My god, just what kind of freak is this kid?��


    �� ��


    Not just Jiang Zhe they all, Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck two people were also astounded.


    They thought that the sword formation was already Ye Yuan��s final trump card. Did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had such a heaven-defying ace-in-the-hole that was not used.


    If Ye Yuan flashed this trump card, killing the two of them husband and wife just now would be effortless!


    After Ye Yuan killed Lin Zhang, he slowly walked over to this side and said coolly, ��I originally came here to train, but there are always some people who feel that they have too many god of war points and insist on sending me some. Since that��s the case, this Ye will kindly accept it!��


    Not waiting for Jiang Zhe and the rest to react either, the moment Ye Yuan��s sword formation rose, he joined right in the battle.


    Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck��s combat power was actually higher than these source powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan was able to fight to a draw with Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck, but his strength was actually much stronger than them individually.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly using Time Freeze, immobilizing Jiang Zhe firmly there.


    Jiang Zhe was long prepared, the source power in his body surging wildly, attempting to break through Time Freeze.


    Additionally, another three people saw that the situation was not good, and rushed right at Ye Yuan, attempting to stop him.


    Ye Yuan��s sword formation revolved crazily, hurting one of them in a blink of an eye!


    With the combination of two great powers of source, Ye Yuan��s combat power was much stronger than ordinary source powerhouses.


    The only thing that he was at a disadvantage in was cultivation realm.


    In the fight with Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck previously, he did not use his full strength either.


    At this time, he was truly enraged and went all out, hurting one of the source powerhouses in a twinkle.


    Under Jiang Zhe��s frenzied assault, Time Freeze was finally burst through.


    But he also broke out in cold sweat from shock.


    This move was really impossible to guard against!


    Unless one��s strength reached the Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor Realm, otherwise, there was no way to fight with this kid at all!


    With Ye Yuan joining the battle, the situation on both sides suddenly turned around.


    The seven people diverted more than half of their power to deal with Ye Yuan, while the other three also started struggling in straitened circumstances under the teaming up of Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck.


    Originally, the eight people came in a threatening manner. At this time, they were actually devastated until their helmets and coats of mail were lost.


    Ye Yuan fought four people by himself, even firmly suppressing his opponents in terms of momentum.


    At that time, Ye Yuan fought more than 20 divine race powerhouses alone in Cloudheart Realm!


    The formidable aspect of the sword formation was this!


    When in a group battle, the power of the sword formation could be amplified infinitely.


    In terms of strength, the strengths of source powerhouses were much stronger than those abyss monsters.


    But no matter how strong, it also would not be stronger than those 20 people.


    Now, Ye Yuan exchanged for 12 peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures and 48 initial-rank heavenly emperor spirit treasures, the power of the sword formation was more than a level stronger than back then.


    Therefore, there was more than enough to spare for him to deal with these people.


    The more Jiang Zhe and the others fought, the more alarmed they got. Originally, when this Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor was standing here, they thought that he was just a rookie.


    Who knew that this kid was actually even stronger than Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck teaming up!


    They kicked an iron plate!


    ��Leave!��


    Jiang Zhe saw that the situation was not good and immediately retreated.


    The others saw the outcome too and fled one after another.


    If a source powerhouse wanted to leave, nobody could keep them behind.


    However, Ye Yuan just smiled coldly, his figure immediately melting into the void.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Jiang Zhe��s figure suddenly froze in the void.

 Chapter 2346 - Time Law Fragments!

    Jiang Zhe��s pupils constricted, his eyes full of horror.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s spatial law was actually so formidable, catching up to him in a blink of an eye.


    Puchi!


    Sword light flashed, Jiang Zhe was directly killed.


    Following that, Ye Yuan took another step out and caught up to another source powerhouse.


    Once these few people��s strength was scattered, how could they be Ye Yuan��s match?


    Ye Yuan killed four people in a row like chopping vegetables.


    While the other three people were tied down by Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck, and they were unable to get away for some time.


    Ye Yuan rushed back again and slew the three people together with Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck.


    Eight great source powerhouses, there was actually not a single one who escaped.


    In Cloudaid City, Jiang Zhe and the rest had lingering fear in their hearts, having horrified expressions on their faces.


    ��Really damn unlucky! To actually encounter such a freakish brat!�� Jiang Zhe had a grim look as he said.


    A source powerhouse said with a bitter smile, ��Where did this kid pop out from? He��s also too monstrous, right? Other people spend their entire lives and only comprehend one power of source. But he��s too talented! One person comprehended two! That��s not all; he even comprehended spatial law to such a high boundary, and even comprehended Heavenly Dao True Word!��


    Looking at his expression, it was obvious he suffered a tremendous blow.


    Even though they gathered eight source powerhouses, source powerhouses were also extremely rare existences among the unpredictable children.


    They could be said to be geniuses among geniuses, monsters among monsters.


    However, they all, these geniuses, monsters, all became dim and full under Ye Yuan��s light.


    ��Damn it! Really stepped on dog shit when we went out! This kid��s strength can probably already rank in the top 4000! It��s also that his cultivation realm is too low; otherwise, even assaulting the God of War Golden List is also nothing difficult!�� Lin Zhan said unhappily.


    God of War Golden List, it was released once every 100 years.


    This list only tabulated the unpredictable children within the top 3000.


    Only people whose god of war points ranked in the top 3000 had the qualifications to be tallied in.


    The unpredictable children who could enter the God of War Golden List, each one was an expert among experts, a genius among geniuses.


    However, this so-called God of War Golden List was just Cloudaid City��s sub-list.


    ��Forget it, forget it, when we see this kid in the future, directly make a detour! Encounter the Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck, also directly make a detour! Can��t provoke, we can avoid!�� Jiang Zhe said helplessly.


    �� ��


    Killing eight source powerhouses in one breath, Ye Yuan��s god of war points soared crazily and broke through 5000 points very soon.


    Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck husband and wife two people were also stunned.


    They said to protect Ye Yuan inside this Sun Moon Canyon. In the end, it was Ye Yuan who saved them.


    When Ye Yuan was fighting with them before, he did not even take out half of his strength.


    Otherwise, the result would be totally different.


    ��Young Friend Ye, it was us husband and wife two people who didn��t know what��s good for us. This time, thank you very much for lending a helping hand. We��re definitely becoming friends with Young Friend Ye! After going to the real world in the future, you must come and find the two of us to play,�� Heaven Mandarin said.


    Although the two of their personalities were peculiar, they were not unable to tell what was good for them.


    Ye Yuan clearly did not want to stoop to their level. If they went from bad to worse, that would not be good.


    The two of them did provoke many powerful enemies, but it was also not like they provoked everyone. Otherwise, they would have long kicked the bucket.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Definitely! This Ye still has to go cultivate and will take my leave here.��


    Bidding farewell to the two, Ye Yuan headed toward the depths of Sun Moon Canyon.


    In the dense woods, a lion-shaped fierce beast came out with a roar.


    A Battle Xuan Beast! Ye Yuan found intel about this fierce beast from the information.


    This Battle Xuan Beast��s strength was very strong and not weaker than source powerhouses.


    What was even more terrifying was that this Battle Xuan Beast was able to control time law; extremely hard to deal with.


    Ye Yuan expended some effort before killing it too.


    ��Killing such a powerful fierce beast and I only got three god of war points. Looks like the god of war points obtained from Jiang Zhe they all were too many. Mn? What��s this?��


    Ye Yuan was currently lamenting about the god of war points when suddenly, he discovered that some mysterious and profound thing entered his body.


    ��That��s �� law fragment? A fragment of time law! Unfortunately, there are too few law fragments. I��m unable to comprehend them at all.��


    Ye Yuan identified what this thing was very quickly and could not help being very excited.


    But very soon, he felt dejected.


    This law fragment was too small, it was simply impossible to be comprehended.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, ��I wonder if the time laws in all of the Battle Xuan Beasts are the same or not. If they are not the same, then can one piece together a complete time law?��


    Getting to work at once, he started searching for Battle Xuan Beast to proceed with hunting.


    Battle Xuan Beasts were very rare, but one could always encounter them.


    After more than ten days, Ye Yuan hunted another Battle Xuan Beast.


    Then he became incomparably excited. It was because these two extremely tiny time fragments really merged together.


    ��Heh, excellent! This way, as long as I continue hunting Battle Xuan Beasts, I can always piece together a small piece of time law!�� Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    Feeling the flow of time here, Ye Yuan became very covetous of time law. He did not expect that there was really an opportunity to comprehend it.


    Time law was very vague and insubstantial, but this small fragment was different.


    It was tantamount to a reification of the power of law and could let martial artists directly view the mysteries of time law.


    Of course, even so, wanting to comprehend time law was still as hard as ascending to heaven.


    After all, this was the Heavenspan World��s hardest law to comprehend, not one of!


    Even spatial law still had some disparity in front of time law.


    Ye Yuan finally understood why there were so many source powerhouses here!


    Looks like these geniuses obtained the other party��s law fragments after hunting fierce beasts, which allowed them to break through the shackle, reaching the realm of source.


    Ye Yuan previously still found it strange. The source powerhouses here were a little too many.


    ��Starting from today, hunt Battle Xuan Beasts!�� Ye Yuan immediately decided.


    Arriving at the Primeval War Realm, even if he did not gain anything, merely a time law was also worth it.


    However, Ye Yuan discovered very soon that the number of Battle Xuan Beasts was seriously too few. His efficiency of hunting was too low.


    Hence, he simply returned to Cloudaid City and released a mission.


    As long as someone could provide intel about Battle Xuan Beasts, after confirming it, he would give the other party 100 god of war points.


    Very soon, the entire Cloudaid City knew that Ye Yuan was hunting Battle Xuan Beasts.


    But what followed was everyone��s ridiculing.


    ��Heh heh, truly a fool who overestimates his own ability! Does he really think that time law is so easy to comprehend?��


    ��This kid actually released such a mission, what a moron. Who does he think he is? Something that even Wan Zhen doesn��t dare to touch, he dares to touch too!��


    ��I heard that Wan Zhen pieced together a whole piece of time law at that time and gained nothing after comprehending for several decades. In the end, he still gave up! This kid is also thinking too highly of himself.��


    �� ��


    The Wan Zhen everyone talked about, was the number one major power on the God of War Golden List rankings.


    To be able to rank first on the God of War Golden List, his talent could be imagined.


    But even such talent also ended in failure. So what did Ye Yuan count as?

 Chapter 2347 - Golden List Powerhouse!

    ��Young Friend Ye, are you still persisting? Do you know that you��ve already become Cloudaid City��s laughingstock? Do you know what they are saying about you behind your back? Especially Jiang Zhe, what he says is very unpleasant,�� Earth Duck urged painstakingly.


    For three years, Ye Yuan had been persistently collecting time law fragments all this while.


    Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck husband and wife naturally also knew about this news. Hence, they wanted to persuade him to dispel this idea.


    But Ye Yuan was very stubborn.


    ��Two seniors, Ye Yuan��s mind is made up. You don��t need to persuade me any longer,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    These three years, Ye Yuan practically did not go out to train. The majority of the time was staying in Cloudaid City to wait for news.


    As long as he received the news, he would head to the wilderness to hunt Battle Xuan Beasts.


    However, it was also not without gains.


    Every once in a while, he would go out to hunt for a period of time.


    Primeval War Realm��s heaven and earth spiritual energy was extremely rich. In a short three years�� time, Ye Yuan��s realm already closed in on peak initial-stage World Realm.


    This time, he just received the news that a Battle Xuan Beast King appeared in Longriver Forest. Ye Yuan was just planning on going out of the city to hunt.


    Battle Xuan Beast Kings were very powerful, their realm comparable to peak Sixth Firmament Heavenly Emperor, but their combat strength was far greater than that.


    More importantly, the time law of Battle Xuan Beast Kings was very strong, ordinary martial artists could not beat them at all.


    Ye Yuan��s current time law fragment was only left with the last tiny bit.


    After hunting this Battle Xuan Beast King, his time law piece should be able to be pieced together.


    Hence, he did not hesitate in the slightest, directly getting ready and setting off.


    Ye Yuan did not care about god of war points ranking at all. The god of war points that he hunted these few years was practically all exchanged for heavenly emperor spirit treasures apart from using to issue missions.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s sword formation was already replaced with Heavenly Emperor spirit treasures.


    The power of the sword formation was virtually unstoppable!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s departing back view, Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck looked at each other and smiled bitterly.


    ��This babe, it��s true that his talent is high, but he��s too stubborn!�� Earth Duck said.


    Heaven Mandarin nodded and said, ��Yeah! This kid is a character who��s hopelessly headstrong. We can��t persuade him.��


    ��Huhu, our genius went out to hunt Battle Xuan Beasts again? Tsk tsk, after he comprehends time law, he��ll definitely sweep across the entire Primeval War Realm! Remarkable! Remarkable!�� From the back, came Jiang Zhe��s ridiculing laughter.


    Another person burst into laughter as he said, ��Does this fool want to use this kind of method to prove that his talent is stronger than Wan Zhen? I only want to say that, very stupid and very naive! Hahaha ����


    Similar ridicules, Heaven Mandarin and Earth Duck already heard too much.


    Either way, Ye Yuan��s affairs had long already become the topic of ridicule for everyone after their meals.


    The two of them also could not be bothered to care. So they just snorted coldly and directly left.


    �� ��


    Leaving Cloudaid City, Ye Yuan sprinted straight for Longriver Forest.


    Longriver Forest��s fierce beasts were extremely powerful. There were also a lot of powerhouses here.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the location of the intel and started searching for the whereabouts of the Battle Xuan Beast King.


    ��Roar!��


    After a bout of searching, Ye Yuan finally discovered traces of the Battle Xuan Beast King.


    He looked overjoyed and stepped forward brandishing his sword.


    The Battle Xuan Beast King was well-deserving of being beast king level. Just his figure was twice as large as an ordinary Battle Xuan Beast.


    The moment Ye Yuan approached its surroundings, he immediately felt like he had fallen into a time quagmire.


    ��Roar, roar ����


    When the Battle Xuan Beast King saw a human, it pounced over crazily.


    ��Vile beast, you dare?!��


    Ye Yuan bellowed, spatial law and sword formation suddenly operating.


    Two great powers of source surged frenziedly in the quagmire of time law, attempting to cause trouble for the Battle Xuan Beast King.


    However, Ye Yuan really met his match this time.


    Time law��s power greatly exceeded his imagination.


    His sword formation operated very strenuously.


    His divine essence and soul force expenditure was practically several times the usual.


    But the efficiency was less than half of the usual.


    Coupled with that he was several minor realms lower than the Battle Xuan Beast King, Ye Yuan virtually fell into a hard fight in an instant.


    Right when Ye Yuan fell into a tough battle, on top of the treetops of a distant forest, a middle-aged man in a sky-blue long robe was standing on top, his hands behind his back, currently watching the battle over there from a distance.


    ��Hehe, what an ignorant little fellow, to actually really want to comprehend time law! Wan Zhen, are you afraid that he will beat you?��


    Suddenly, another figure appeared on a treetop not far from the middle-aged man in a blue robe.


    This person had a beautiful face. If not for his adam��s apple, probably everyone would think that he was a stunningly beautiful woman.


    But his face made many peerless beauties feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    This middle-aged man in a blue robe was actually Cloudaid City��s number one person, Wan Zhen!


    Wan Zhen��s face had no joy nor sorrow. His eyes never left Ye Yuan. He just said coolly, ��Zhang Lian, you��re thinking too much! If he can really comprehend time law, I��ll be happy for him.��


    Zhang Lian!


    If somebody was here, they would discover to their surprise that this beautiful man was actually Zhang Lian who was ranked second on the God of War Golden List!


    Cloudaid City��s number one person and number two person actually appeared in Longriver Forest at the same time, in order to watch Ye Yuan fight.


    Zhang Lian revealed a look of resentment and said with a grin, ��You this person, your words don��t match what��s in your heart!��


    Wan Zhen had a deep gaze as he said coolly, ��Primeval War Realm��s training is nothing more than a game. That��s all! The human race is imperiled. With Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets opening up the Primeval War Realm, it��s in order to let us increase our cultivation as soon as possible, and fight for the human race! At this time, the more the human race��s powerhouses, and the stronger, the happier I naturally am! Can there be unbroken eggs when the nest is totally wrecked? If the divine race is really going to attack Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s side, I��m afraid that the first batch they are going to kill is us, these so-called geniuses!��


    Zhang Lian did not think that Wan Zhen would actually say such a thing.


    He and Wan Zhen had fought for a hundred years. The two had always found it hard to determine the victor.


    It could be said that he was Wan Zhen��s only opponent.


    However, his considerations were just inside this Primeval War Realm.


    Zhang Lian never thought that Wan Zhen was actually considering the matter of the Doomsday Battle.


    He frowned and said, ��Is the divine race really so powerful?��


    ��They will only be more powerful than you imagine! The Heavenspan World��s former overlord, the existence that towered above all life, how could it be a trifling matter?�� Wan Zhen said.


    Zhang Lian was silent. After a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��That kid is going to die!��


    But Wan Zhen said coolly, ��The Battle Xuan Beast King is going to die!��


    ��Tch, under time law, it��s hard for you and me to escape too, let alone this brat?�� Zhang Lian said with a look of disbelief.


    Wan Zhen seemed to be very confident in Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��He knows time law too!��


    An incomparably shocked expression suddenly showed on Zhang Lian��s stunning face and he said, ��How is that possible?��


    Wan Zhen said indifferently, ��Your understanding of him is too little!��


    ��Immobilize!��


    Right then, this word seemed to pierce the void, drawing down the paramount Heavenly Dao.


    A powerful and unmatched power of Heavenly Dao suddenly descended in the dense forest.


    Feeling the undulation of the power of Heavenly Dao, Zhang Lian��s shock could not be any greater.


    It turned out that the time law Wan Zhen was referring to was this!


    But very clearly, the power of Heavenly Dao that Heavenly Dao True Word induced was even stronger than the Battle Xuan Beast King��s power of law!


    Time suddenly solidified!

 Chapter 2348 - Comprehending Time Law

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Really died �� What a powerful Heavenly Dao True Word!��


    Zhang Lian was full of disbelief. On that beautiful face, it was full of shock.


    ?


    Under Heavenly Dao True Word, the Battle Xuan Beast King was annihilated by Ye Yuan just like that.


    ��He was merely just feeling the power of time law just now. That��s why he would get into a dogfight with the Battle Xuan Beast King. If he really took action, he would have long since slain the Battle Xuan Beast King,�� Wan Zhen said.


    Zhang Lian was already speechless.


    He had been observing Ye Yuan the entire time just now and knew that Ye Yuan��s talent could not be underestimated.


    But he did not think that Ye Yuan still had such heaven-defying means.


    ��A freak! Truly a little freak! This boy��s talent is too terrifying. If not for his cultivation realm being lacking, you and I are likely not his match anymore!�� Zhang Lian exclaimed.


    He finally somewhat understood now why Wan Zhen would specially come to see Ye Yuan.


    This kid would become the most threatening person to them!


    ��Two fellow daoists have watched for so long. Aren��t you showing yourselves yet?��


    Right at this time, a voice came over leisurely. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Zhang Lian was taken aback again and said, ��How did this boy know that we were spying on him?��


    How could he know that Ye Yuan could even detect Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� spying, let alone them?


    Wan Zhen was not too surprised and said indifferently, ��Since we��re discovered, go over and meet him then.��


    Hearing Wan Zhen two people report their names, Ye Yuan was a little surprised too.


    He had never heard of Zhang Lian before, but Wan Zhen��s great name, he already heard no idea how many times these few years that his ears already grew calluses.


    These few years, he was constantly being compared to Wan Zhen, not wanting to know also he could not do it.


    Wan Zhen��s great name was resounding like the roar of thunder to Ye Yuan.


    But upon meeting today, the other party gave him an unfathomable feeling.


    Cloudaid City��s number one was indeed not boasted out.


    ��This Wan has paid attention to you for a long time already,�� Wan Zhen said straightforwardly.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback, then immediately smiled and said, ��Does Brother Wan hope for this Ye to comprehend time law or to fail?��


    Wan Zhen thought about it and said, ��Both I guess.��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said with a nod, ��Brother Wan is very honest. However, Brother Wan actually hopes that I can comprehend it. This makes this Ye a little surprised.��


    The impression that this Wan Zhen gave Ye Yuan was pretty good.


    At least, he was not condescending like other geniuses. Furthermore, he was very candid.


    The meaning of both was hoping, and also not hoping.


    As the number one genius, something that even he could not do, but others achieved it, it was hard for him to avoid feeling uncomfortable in his heart.


    This was human nature. Ye Yuan could understand it.


    If it were him, he would similarly inevitably feel dejected in his heart.


    But, while dejection was dejection, he would not be jealous of the other party with the heart of a despicable villain.


    Very clearly, Wan Zhen was also such a person.


    As for the reason that he hoped for it, Ye Yuan was rather curious.


    ��The human race needs a leader who can contend with the divine race!�� Wan Zhen said coolly.


    ��I didn��t expect that Brother Wan is actually concerned about the overall situation. This Ye admires!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    These two people were chatting ardently, giving Zhang Lian the cold shoulder, making him feel like he became an outsider.


    ��Brat, your spatial law is so strong. Even if you want to become the human race��s leader, you should also push spatial law to the level of source first! You��re biting off more than one can chew like this! Furthermore, you wouldn��t really think that time law is so easy to comprehend, right? Wan Zhen this guy��s talent isn��t ordinary!�� Zhang Lian suddenly spoke up.


    When Wan Zhen heard this, he also said curiously, ��What Zhang Lian says makes sense. With your intelligence, you shouldn��t do such an irrational thing. Hence, this Wan is also very curious why you��d insist on comprehending time law?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Ye naturally has my own reasons. If I succeed, the two of you will naturally know in the future. If I don��t succeed, it��s useless to talk about it.��


    He wanted to increase the human race��s alchemy path strength with time law.


    This was a sudden inspiration. Whether or not it could be realized was still hard to say. He was not willing to take it out to get laughed at.


    As long as he said it, these two would definitely turn their noses up in disdain and ask him to stop dreaming.


    But Wan Zhen��s gaze flickered and he said, ��Looks like what Brother Ye is planning isn��t minor! Then this Wan will wish Brother Ye speedy success!��


    �� ��


    After that day, Ye Yuan found a secluded place and laid down many large formations. Then he hid inside himself to comprehend time law.


    This small piece of time law was also just a segment of time law.


    But this segment was already sufficient for Ye Yuan to comprehend.


    Time law was extensive and profound, extremely fleeting and ephemeral.


    To the vast majority of martial artists, time was just a concept. There was no way to get started at all.


    Where time was, how it operated, and how to measure it; there was no way to ascertain.


    Even though Ye Yuan was considered to have learned the rudiments, it was also just a trace of sense from the unseen world. There was no way to get started with comprehending at all.


    This small piece of law fragment was actually a key.


    How to use this key to open time law this door, was the question that Ye Yuan needed to comprehend.


    When he started comprehending the law fragment, he finally experienced the terror of time law.


    That sort of feeling was like dredging for a needle in the sea.


    Wanting to find an embroidery needle in the vast ocean, how difficult was that?


    When he comprehended spatial law back then, that was because his Sword Dao reached the level of drawing parallels from inference, and coincidentally triggered spatial law.


    Ye Yuan could continuously comprehend spatial law through Sword Dao.


    But, time law was completely independent, there wasn��t the slightest area to do things in an irregular manner or be opportunistic.


    Walking along the way, Ye Yuan��s comprehension of the power of laws was still smooth-sailing compared to other martial artists.


    But this time, he really ran into a problem.


    Time slowly trickled by, the seasons changed, spring left and autumn came.


    In a blink, it was already a hundred years later.


    On this day, it was the day where the God of War Golden List was announced again. The entire Primeval War Realm was astir.


    ��Don��t have that kid in the list. It looks like he��s still comprehending time law! What did I say? How can time law be so easy to comprehend?�� Zhang Lian found Wan Zhen and said disdainfully.


    Wan Zhen nodded and said, ��Looks like I overestimated his talent a little! Time law is too difficult. Even if he touches Heavenly Dao, it��s likely very hard to transform it into his own Dao too.��


    Heavenly Dao True Word touched Heavenly Dao, its power boundless.


    But that was just guiding Heavenly Dao for their own use and not grasping the way to utilize time law.


    He was interested in Ye Yuan precisely because of Heavenly Dao True Word.


    Looking at it now, he had indeed somewhat overestimated Ye Yuan.


    ��After that kid returns, he��ll likely become the entire Cloudaid City��s laughing stock,�� Zhang Lian said with a smile.


    Wan Zhen gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Do you think that Ye Yuan will mind? He��s someone with great willpower. So how can he possibly care about what other people think?��


    �� ��


    Time flew like a shuttle, in a twinkle, another 200 years passed.


    But merely three years had passed in the outside world.


    But in Profound Secrets Heavenly Capital, a mocking voice came over.


    An old man said with a disdainful look, ��Profound Secrets, this is the human race��s hope that you talked about? Three consecutive seasons of God of War Golden List, he didn��t even enter the top 3000! If the human race were to rely on him, wouldn��t we all be dragged into the ditch?��

 Chapter 2349 - Ye Yuan Returns!

    ��I know about that kid you��re talking about. Isn��t he that ancestor of Alchemy Dao who has been in the limelight recently? Heh heh, after the alchemy path declined, no one can lift up the big banner anymore. A bunch of ignorant fellows, they are playing very enthusiastically by themselves. There��s not the least bit of help with regards to the overall situation at all.��


    ��I know about Cloudheart Realm��s matters. This kid��s talent is indeed pretty good. But unfortunately, he still can��t stir up any waves among these unpredictable children!��


    ��Speaking of which, I still feel more optimistic about Xiao Qingsong, Huang Lin, Pang Zhen, and Wan Zhen they all! When they come out this time, they might become our human race��s main pillars!��


    �� ��


    The few old men looked at the newest release of God of War Golden List, all revealing looks of disdain.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was silent by the side, also not knowing what he was thinking about.


    However, being able to talk in front of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets like this, these people present were naturally all the human, demon, and fiend races�� top major powers.


    At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue daoist robe suddenly said to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, ��Profound Secrets, you take every conceivable possibility into account, but this time �� you probably miscalculated! This boy isn��t worth our grooming!��


    There was a lightning mark at the glabella area of the blue-robed middle-aged man.


    There was no overly powerful aura on his body, but in his eyes, it was as if it was a vast sea of lightning.


    Inside, a powerful to the extreme aura faintly exuded; extremely terrifying.


    That look seemed to be able to destroy the world!


    This was the incomparably mysterious Dao Ancestor Lightning!


    His words could be said to hold tremendous weight.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets selecting the human race geniuses, it was impossible for Dao Ancestors to not pay the slightest attention.


    To them, the Doomsday Battle this time was similarly a life-and-death trial.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets just said coolly, ��This old man absolutely won��t be wrong in judging people! Lightning, I know that you harbor selfish motives, but with this old man��s experience, Pang Zhen can��t succeed your position as Dao Ancestor Lightning.��


    During the Primeval War Realm struggle this time, the various major sovereigns all had progenies who were selected.


    The Fifth Blight progenitors present as well as Lightning, this spokesperson of the Dao Ancestors, all hope that their offspring could obtain the final victory.


    The Pang Zhen that Profound Secrets spoke of was precisely Dao Ancestor Lightning��s descendant.


    This Pang Zhen was of the innate Lightning Dao Body. His comprehension of lightning law and his talent were extremely terrifying.


    Before entering the Primeval War Realm, he already comprehended the power of source, and his combat power was unparalleled.


    ��Profound Secrets! Can��t you say something nicer sounding!�� Dao Ancestor Lightning said in a solemn voice.


    Everyone felt terrified. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets actually said that Dao Ancestor Lightning harbored selfish motives to his face.


    To dare talk to Dao Ancestor Lightning like this, there was probably only Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets alone!


    Profound Secrets said coolly, ��This old man is just discussing the matter as it is. The few of you Dao Ancestors want to continue your glory. But first of all, the human race can��t fall! Concerning this point, this old man hopes that you guys are clear. Therefore, the battle of geniuses this time, strength determines everything!��


    Lightning sneered and said, ��What a joke! With Pang Zhen��s strength, can he still lose to a Second Firmament Heavenly Emperor brat?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets just smiled faintly and said, ��Then, let��s wait and see.��


    �� ��


    In the Primeval War Realm, a hundred years passed after a hundred years. In a blink, it had already been more than 800 years!


    After more than 800 years, the competition of the God of War Golden List also became increasingly intense.


    A hundred cities, only the God of War Golden List��s top ten had the qualifications to win in the end, and enter the Temple of Gods to accept the legacies.


    This was a massive lucky chance!


    For each city, the competition for the top ten was abnormally fierce.


    Each time the God of War Golden List was released, the changes of the top ten would be huge.


    Of course, there were also some powerhouses who stood out among the rest. They sat firmly in the top spot, their status could not be shaken by anyone.


    Such as Wan Zhen, such as Pang Zhen, so on and so forth.


    These unpredictable children, in this close to 1000 years, their improvement was so great that it was simply hard to imagine.


    Their strength already reached an inconceivable height.


    Except, among these people, Ye Yuan seemed to have vanished.


    Even those guys who had once ridiculed him before, they already forgotten about his existence.


    ��The last ten years! Looks like Ye Yuan that kid really failed!�� Wan Zhen��s words revealed a thick disappointment.


    Time law was too difficult. With his talent, he was unable to comprehend it.


    Primeval War Realm��s cultivation was too hard to come across to them, these unpredictable children.


    Ye Yuan spent all of his time on this kind of unrealistic action, it was equivalent to wasting this rare opportunity.


    Wan Zhen felt that it was too much of a shame.


    ��Heh, it��s that kid��s own choice, who can it be blamed on? We all urged him back then, but he wouldn��t listen at all! In this Primeval War Realm. How many have the talent that surpasses yours? Moreover, even if their talent surpasses yours, can they comprehend time law?�� Zhang Lian said disdainfully.


    ��Forget it, not talking about him anymore! In the last ten years, the God of War Golden List is announced once every year! I plan on going to the Myriad Beast Battle Plain to train, are you going?�� Wan Zhen said.


    In Cloudaid City, the only one who could pose a threat to him was Zhang Lian.


    Toward this opponent, Wan Zhen still regarded him very highly.


    Zhang Lian smiled brightly, his looks able to topple kingdoms, and said, ��That��s of course! This is my only chance to surpass you. So how can I not give it a shot?��


    Wan Zhen nodded and said, ��Okay, set off together!��


    Myriad Beast Battle Plain, was the most dangerous place within Cloudaid City��s territory.


    The fierce beasts there were not only huge in numbers, furthermore, each one was extremely powerful.


    Even with Wan Zhen��s current strength, he also did not have confidence in coming out alive.


    Actually, not just them, the unpredictable children ranked in the top 50 would probably all choose the Myriad Beast Battle Plain as the final land of trial.


    Because this was their last chance!


    But not long after they left, a youth in white robes slowly entered Cloudaid City.


    ��Yo, isn��t this our son of time? Spent more than 800 years, came back after comprehending time law? My heavens, impressive!��


    ��The last ten years, is our son of time going to defy the heavens? Tsk tsk, what a shame, the disparity is too great!��


    ��That might not be it! He grasped time law. So his strength is definitely Cloudaid City��s number one already! Ten years is sufficient for him to charge for first place! Hahaha!��


    �� ��


    Upon entering the city, Ye Yuan heard a series of harsh ridicules.


    No one else, they were precisely Jiang Zhe and co.


    As a source powerhouse, Jiang Zhe��s improvement in strength these few years was extremely terrifying too.


    His ranking already ranked around 2000, becoming a golden list powerhouse!


    Even though it was very hard to obtain god of war points, after more than 900 years of accumulation, the current God of War Golden List��s god of war points was already an extremely horrifying number.


    Especially those like Wan Zhen, their god of war points was unimaginably high!


    Assaulting the top ten in ten years�� time was simply something impossible.


    Ye Yuan did not care about Jiang Zhe��s mocking. He walked straight to Spirit Treasure Hall.


    It was still Redleaf, it was just that circumstances already changed with the passing of time.


    ��Sir Ye hasn��t come for very long already. What are you buying this time?�� Redleaf said smilingly.


    ��Jade True Swords, 1000 of them!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.

 Chapter 2350 - Entering the God of War Golden List!

    Redleaf did not know when Ye Yuan left, her entire person was still in a dazed state.


    The price of one Jade True Sword was 300 over points. 1000 over was more than 300 thousand!


    Ye Yuan paid close to 400 thousand god of war points in one go, and he purchased more than a thousand Jade True Swords!


    This was really a huge splurge!


    This young man who had already disappeared for close to 890 years and had never appeared on the god of war points, where did he get so many god of war points?


    One had to know having 300 thousand god of war points was already sufficient to rank in the top 1000.


    The God of War Golden List��s ranking, the closer to the front, the greater the difference in god of war points.


    Just like Wan Zhen who was in the first place currently, his god of war points reached more than three million!


    This was an extremely terrifying number, a figure that made virtually all of the unpredictable children feel despair.


    The only one who could threaten him was only Zhang Lian.


    But even Zhang Lian currently only had over 2.4 million; this was a full 500 thousand over god of war points worse than Wan Zhen.


    The god of war points in the top ten of the God of War Golden list were basically all above one million too.


    Existences like Wan Zhen had never died before since entering the Primeval War Realm until now.


    900 over years of accumulation, that was no joke.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had merely only come out for three years.


    These three years�� time, he was hunting fierce beasts in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain.


    Several hundred years of gaining enlightenment on Dao, Ye Yuan��s realm already broke through to middle-stage World Realm.


    If let others know that Ye Yuan obtained 400 thousand god of war points in a short three years, they would definitely be astounded with amazement.


    This efficiency was simply too terrifying!


    The Myriad Beast Battle Plain was a place that even the likes of Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian did not dare to easily step foot into.


    ��Yo, our son of time is going out of the city to earn points? Hahaha, having comprehended time law, you must be very formidable, right? Is ten years�� time enough?��


    ��Impressive, our son of time is going to counterattack! With 1.3 million over points, you can definitely enter the top ten! Buck up!��


    ��Haha, son of time, ten years is enough, it can be used as a thousand years!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan went out of the city. It was all taunting voices everywhere around him.


    With regards to him, such a weird existence, everyone naturally turned their noses up in scorn.


    Everyone entered in order to improve themselves and fight for the qualifications to enter the top ten.


    But Ye Yuan was good, to actually waste all of his time on time law.


    There were still ten years now, he suddenly ran out to earn god of war points, it really made people laugh their heads off.


    As for time law, nobody thought that Ye Yuan comprehended it at all.


    Want to comprehend, he would have long comprehended it. Yet, he comprehended it when it was about to end?


    �� ��


    After leaving the city, Ye Yuan returned to the Myriad Beast Battle Plain once more.


    A thousand peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures, under Ye Yuan��s control, how powerful was its might?


    Ye Yuan already obtained 400 thousand points here without these heavenly emperor spirit treasures, let alone now.


    After arriving at the Myriad Beast Battle Plain, Ye Yuan started his crazy plan for earning points.


    There were very few people in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain. Those who dared to come here were mostly extremely strong, so not many people noticed Ye Yuan��s existence.


    If somebody was here, they would discover that the flow of time around Ye Yuan was currently quietly changing.


    The moment those fierce beasts entered a certain range, it was like they had fallen into a quagmire, allowing Ye Yuan to do as he pleased.


    That was precisely the sign of time law!


    Ye Yuan was able to earn god of war points so quickly in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain precisely because of time law!


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan wasted these few centuries. Who could have expected that he really comprehended time law?


    With regards to the comprehension of time law, Ye Yuan had an advantage that no one else had.


    He already learned the rudiments of time law to begin with. Coupled with Heavenly Dao True Word, Ye Yuan was not absolutely ignorant about time law.


    But even so, time law was still the power of law that he spent the most time on so far.


    Around roughly 400 years, Ye Yuan finally opened this door and started comprehending the law fragment.


    However, it was not smooth-sailing for Ye Yuan when he was comprehending time law.


    In the 400 years after that, only then did he slowly digest this small piece of time law.


    Using close to 900 years�� time to go and comprehend a power of law, this was something that Ye Yuan had never encountered before.


    It could be seen how great the difficulty of time law was.


    There were indeed many unpredictable children in the Primeval War Realm.


    But in terms of comprehension ability, none was superior to him!


    Regardless of the power of law, Ye Yuan was the first to advocate it, comprehending the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, this heaven-defying existence of a cultivation method.


    It was impossible for the likes of Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen to be stronger than him too.


    No matter how powerful these geniuses were, their cultivation time was also several times, even several dozen times, several hundred times of Ye Yuan��s!


    But, Ye Yuan used such a short time and comprehended a law that was even stronger than theirs.


    Who was stronger and who was weaker was clear at a glance.


    However, comprehending this small piece of time law fragment, Ye Yuan��s application of time law was only at the degree of one-to-five as well.


    Right now, he could speed up the surrounding flow of time by five times, or reduce it by five times.


    Although it was only this, Ye Yuan��s improvement in strength was far more than that.


    His Sword Dao source, Formation Dao source, plus spatial law, were incomparably swift and fierce in the first place. Now, with the addition of the application of the speeding up and slowing down of time, the variations of his means would become even harder to ascertain.


    When facing the enemy, his combat power would be even more terrifying.


    It was also precisely so that Ye Yuan could be like fish in water in the powerful Myriad Beast Battle Plain.


    �� ��


    Very soon, the God of War Golden List was released once more.


    Because the time Ye Yuan returned to the city was only less than a year, he still did not make the list this time.


    This way, it attracted even more mockery.


    Close to a thousand years of accumulation, wanting to enter the rank of top 3000 now, roughly requiring only 100 thousand god of war points.


    Ye Yuan merely entered the Myriad Beast Battle Plain for four to five months�� time, it was naturally impossible to attain so many god of war points.


    However, it was already very close too.


    ��Huhu, only nine years left, this guy didn��t even make the top 3000, what a joke!�� Jiang Zhe looked at the God of War Golden List and mocked.


    ��After nine years, I really want to take a look at his expression. This guy will be the laughingstock of the entire Heavenspan World!�� Lin Zhan also said with a snicker.


    Very soon, another year passed.


    This time, Jiang Zhe could not laugh anymore.


    ��My eyes aren��t failing, right? This �� This �� one year��s time, he earned more than 100 thousand god of war points? It��s too fake!��


    Jiang Zhe looked at the name on the God of War Golden List with a shocked expression on his face.


    Ye Yuan, 159,842 god of war points, ranked No. 2745!


    This name finally made it onto the God of War Golden List for the first time!


    Ye Yuan��s name had long been resounding like the roar of thunder in Cloudaid City.


    Everyone knew that there was such a fool who overestimated his own ability, spending all of his time on comprehending time law.


    Falling behind others by 990 years, how could it be possible to catch up within a short time?


    One had to know, the powerhouses who entered the top 3000 had gone through close to a thousand years of accumulation, before obtaining 100 thousand over god of war points!


    But Ye Yuan only used one year and entered the top 3000?

 Chapter 2351 - Reality Mercilessly Slapping Faces!

    ��It��s impossible, right? Why did Ye Yuan��s god of war points suddenly increase so much?��


    ��This Ye Yuan wouldn��t be that fool who was comprehending time law, right? He has never entered the God of War Golden List before!��


    ��Heard that this kid��s cultivation realm isn��t high, but his combat strength is extremely formidable, having comprehended two kinds of power of laws. It��s just that only focusing on strength now, doesn��t he feel that it��s too late?��


    �� ��


    In Cloudaid City, everyone was discussing the Ye Yuan who just entered the God of War Golden List.


    There was no choice. He was the focal point to begin with.


    Now that he appeared in everyone��s field of vision again, it immediately attracted everyone��s attention.


    Reaching the last ten years, those ranked towards the back basically all did not have hope anymore. Each and every one of them was bored out of their minds, and they naturally had to look for topics of discussion.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan was this sort of explosive figure.


    Hence, everyone paid more attention to him.


    Especially Jiang Zhe and his group, they wished for Ye Yuan to risk his life and fail to enter the top ten in the end.


    That way, they would be able to mock to their heart��s content.


    �� ��


    On the wilderness, two figures were currently advancing swiftly.


    One was calm as a mountain, the other was so beautiful as to cause the flowers to blush and the moon to hide.


    These two were naturally the Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian who were training in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain.


    ��How strange. We walked so far, but why didn��t we encounter a single fierce beast? According to past experiences, there should be even more fierce beasts here!�� Zhang Lian said with a puzzled look.


    Wan Zhen��s gaze was slightly sullen and he frowned and said, ��Could it be that it has already been cleaned up by someone before?��


    ��Impossible! The fierce beasts in this region are very powerful! Even if you and I enter, we��ll have to be careful too. Once we fall into a heavy encirclement, it will be hard to escape death! In this Cloudaid City, apart from you and me, who else has this ability?�� Zhang Lian immediately denied it.


    Wan Zhen said, ��What you said is right, but �� it��s indeed a little strange! Eh, there seem to be some activities over there. Go over and take a look.��


    His perception was very keen, faintly feeling that there seemed to be significant undulations very far in front.


    The two people��s movement techniques were extremely fast, rushing ahead very soon.


    Suddenly, the two were stunned by the scene before their eyes.


    In front of them was a sea of fierce beasts.


    There were at least several thousand fierce beasts roaring crazily, rushing towards somewhere in the sea of beasts.


    These fierce beasts seemed to be triggered by something. All of them were like they went mad.


    Seventh Firmament and Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor fierce beasts! Furthermore, it was even fierce beasts with extremely high comprehensions in laws. There were several thousand of them bellowing in the wilderness all at once.


    That scene was too shocking.


    In the sea of beasts, there seemed to be a figure that appeared from time to time, unable to see clearly.


    Those fierce beasts seemed to be losing their shit at that person.


    The two people��s complexions were somewhat pale. Those violent attacks made them somewhat shudder with fear.


    ��Wan Zhen, this �� this scene, can you deal with it?�� Zhang Lian swallowed his saliva and said.


    Wan Zhen had a solemn look and shook his head and said, ��Will die beyond a doubt!��


    Zhang Lian said, ��You��re the God of War Golden List��s number one, and I��m number two! Even you and I can��t handle it, then �� who��s in the sea of beasts?��


    Wan Zhen was silent.


    It was true that they were strong, but facing such a horrifying beast horde, it was impossible for them to survive too.


    These fierce beasts were of different types; the laws comprehended were different.


    Some laws just happened to restrain your law, which would make martial artists very uncomfortable.


    Moreover, being besieged by so many fierce beasts, divine essence was a huge problem.


    The divine essence of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses was extremely vast, but their moves likewise consume a lot of divine essence. Facing so many fierce beasts, their divine essence consumption speed increased sharply.


    These two people killing all the way over, they at most faced the besiegement of 30 plus fierce beasts.


    Several thousand fierce beasts, they did not dare to imagine it at all.


    Suddenly, Wan Zhen��s pupils constricted. His gaze turned intent, and he sucked in a breath of cold air deeply.


    ��Mn? What discovery did you make?�� Zhang Lian said.


    Wan Zhen said, ��Have you noticed that the fierce beasts around that figure, their tempo is completely different from the outer-peripheral?��


    Zhang Lian focused his eyes and looked over, and discovered that it was really the case!


    Even though this range was not large, with his eyesight, he could naturally tell at a glance.


    Just now, it was because it was too shocking, resulting in overlooking this detail.


    ��It really is true!��


    Zhang Lian was talking halfway, when suddenly, his expression changed wildly and he exclaimed, ��I-It wouldn��t be him, right? This isn��t possible!��


    Wan Zhen��s gaze became extremely solemn and he said, ��Who else is there beside him? Actually, you yourself already have that thought, right?��


    Zhang Lian said in shock, ��He �� He really succeeded? But that��s time law!��


    A hint of melancholy suddenly flashed across Wan Zhen��s face.


    Clearly, this conjecture made him feel somewhat of a loss.


    ��So what if time law? No matter how difficult it is, there��s also someone who comprehended it! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets can, why can��t he? It��s a shame that there��s no more time. Otherwise, I��d really want to comprehend time law,�� Wan Zhen said.


    It was not that he was unable to comprehend time law, but that time was too short.


    A short thousand years, want to comprehend time law, this was simply something impossible.


    Wan Zhen believed that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets must have also gone through countless years to comprehend time law.


    As long as he was given time, he would definitely be able to comprehend time law!


    Regardless of whether it was 10 thousand years, 100 thousand years, or hundreds of millions of years!


    But the divine race would not give him time!


    However, what he could not accomplish, Ye Yuan did it!


    He only used a short one thousand years�� time and comprehended the time law which was known as the supreme law.


    This kind of talent was too terrifying.


    No, Ye Yuan came in 100 years later than them, which was also to say that Ye Yuan only used 800 over years and achieved this great feat!


    ��We were still mocking him for clinging onto it previously. Now, what irony! It turns out that it��s our talent that��s too lousy, rashly discussing about people��s talent!�� Zhang Lian said with a bitter smile on his face.


    To be able to rank second in Cloudaid City, it could be seen how confident he was in his own talent.


    One had to know, those able to enter the Primeval War Realm were all unpredictable children, their talents extremely terrifying.


    And he and Wan Zhen were the strongest ones among these unpredictable children!


    They had sufficient reason to be proud.


    Hence, when Ye Yuan was persistent in wanting to comprehend time law, they were very disdainful in their hearts.


    The law that even they were unable to comprehend, what right did Ye Yuan have to comprehend it?


    Even if he could comprehend, it was also impossible within a short thousand years.


    Wan Zhen similarly smiled bitterly and said, ��It��s not just you. Every single person in the city was jeering at him, laughing at his ignorance, laughing at his overestimation of his own ability! I previously also thought that this kind of mocking made sense. But now, reality slapped faces mercilessly. Comprehending time law, his gains from this trip to the Primeval War Realm is greater than any one of us!��


    During these several hundred years, they felt that Ye Yuan��s behavior was very naive.


    Knowing how to make one��s choice was what defined a wise man, and only then, could one achieve great things.


    Ye Yuan clearly did not know how to choose.


    But now, Ye Yuan used action to tell them that they were wrong!


    The two looked from afar just like that. They wanted to see how strong Ye Yuan who comprehended time law was.


    The more they watched, the more alarmed they got!

 Chapter 2352 - Soaring!

    ��How �� How is he earning god of war points?! It��s simply snatching!��


    Zhang Lian had a look of righteous indignation on his face, feeling that Ye Yuan��s way of operating was very disgraceful.


    Amidst the sea of beasts, Ye Yuan relied on his powerful sword formation to kill his way in and out. The outcome was the place being akin to a no man��s land.


    Under the intertwining of time law and spatial law, it was very hard for the attacks of these fierce beasts to hurt Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan��s sword formation could cause a fatal blow to these fierce beasts.


    Therefore, this scene seemed like a grand sight, but actually, Ye Yuan was as steady as Mount Tai.


    But Wan Zhen��s gaze was very solemn, and he said, ��Although his realm isn��t high, his strength is too formidable! Being able to control a thousand peak heavenly emperor spirit treasures, his soul force is simply fearsomely powerful! Also, the application of various laws is utterly brilliant too. This guy simply has no weaknesses to exploit!��


    Zhang Lian looked toward Wan Zhen in surprise. He did not expect that the proud Wan Zhen actually had such a high appraisal of a person.


    But hearing Wan Zhen��s analysis, he also felt that this guy was too monstrous.


    Ignoring other things, just controlling a thousand swords, the might of his soul force could be rated as terrifying.


    Zhang Lian suddenly gave Wan Zhen a glance, his eye shimmering with water as he said, ��At his rate, the two of our positions �� aren��t safe!��


    When Wan Zhen heard that, his expression could not help stiffening up.


    ��Leave!��


    Wan Zhen��s expression turned solemn, and he directly left.


    Who among these geniuses was not arrogant at heart and haughty in manner?


    Even if Ye Yuan��s talent was stronger than theirs, they did not want to lose to Ye Yuan too.


    Before this, Wan Zhen two people were still relatively relaxed. Because there was already no one who could pose any threat to them.


    But now, when they saw Ye Yuan hunting fierce beasts with such high efficiency, the pressure increased sharply.


    After Ye Yuan finished dealing with this wave of fierce beasts, he would get thousands of god of war points no matter what.


    �� ��


    Another year passed in a twinkle. It reached the day where the God of War Golden List was released again. Cloudaid City immediately became lively.


    Early in the morning, it was already packed with people in front of Cloudaid City��s central square. Jiang Zhe was shockingly there.


    ��Jiang Zhe, do you think Ye Yuan that brat will enter the top 2000 this time or not?�� Lin Zhan asked Jiang Zhe.


    ��Heh heh, do you really think that god of war points are cabbages? The higher the rank, the less the god of war points obtained from hunting fierce beasts. He already entered the ranks of 2000 plus. Wanting to obtain a large batch of god of war points again, he��ll have to hunt even more formidable fierce beasts. With his Fourth Firmament Heavenly Emperor strength, heh heh ���� Jiang Zhe said firmly.


    ��Indeed, just a fool! Originally, he was pretty talented. Why did he have to go and comprehend whatever time law. Now, there are just the last few years left. Then he came out, wanting to compete for it again. How could there be such an easy thing?��


    ��Yeah. If he succeeds like this, then wouldn��t the Primeval War Realm��s millions of geniuses become a joke?��


    There were many people who agreed with Jiang Zhe in the crowd.


    After all, Ye Yuan��s way of doing things made many people feel inconceivable. He naturally became the object of ridicule too.


    Suddenly, a rift fissured apart in the void. An enormous golden book broke out of thin air.


    The book slowly unfolded. Everyone was brimming with expectations.


    Very soon, the page of the book revealed the tip of the iceberg. A huge golden name appeared in front of everyone.


    First place, Wan Zhen, 3,157,321 god of war points!


    Seeing this name, everyone had a look that it was only to be expected.


    ��Really impressive! One year��s time, Wan Zhen gained tens of thousands of god of war points again!��


    ��Reaching his ranking, he can still rise several tens of thousands in one year, his strength is really formidable!��


    ��His position of first place really doesn��t have anyone who can shake it anymore. Zhang Lian won��t cut it either.��


    �� ��


    Although they had already been amazed many times, when they saw Wan Zhen��s ranking and god of war points, everyone still could not resist exclaiming with amazement once more.


    For a thousand years, Wan Zhen already became a benchmark, becoming a phenomenon.


    From the first time the God of War Golden List was released, Wan Zhen had firmly occupied the first place.


    One had to know, the first time that the God of War Golden List was released, Wan Zhen spent several decades�� time to go and comprehend time law.


    Later, when the God of War Golden List was released the second time, Wan Zhen already left people far behind in the dust, gradually shaking Zhang Lian off.


    Later, the gap between the two became wider and wider.


    The pages unfolded again, revealing the second place Zhang Lian.


    His god of war points also rose to more than 2.5 million.


    Further down, the third place dropped to 1.7 million all of a sudden.


    The gap grew wider and wider.


    ��Li Jin actually dropped out of the top ten! The competition for the top ten is really getting more and more fierce.��


    ��There��s also Zhu Tian, he��s already squeezed to tenth place, those at the back are hot in pursuit!��


    ��Eighth place to 15th place, the gap isn��t very big. If anyone breaks through in terms of comprehension, they will probably surpass very quickly!��


    �� ��


    As the pages slowly unfolded, everyone��s discussion became more and more heated.


    The golden names of the top ten shone brilliantly and were many sizes larger than the other people��s names.


    Further back, there was actually not much viewing value anymore.


    Even though there were some fluctuations in ranking, not entering the top ten, everything was futile.


    However, there was another name that everyone was very concerned about, which was Ye Yuan.


    The last time the God of War Golden List was released, Ye Yuan entered the God of War Golden List for the first time, which already caused a great sensation.


    This time, everyone wanted to see whether Ye Yuan��s ranking dropped out, or moved forward again.


    After that, the speed at which the pages unfolded slowly increased until it was fanned out in the end.


    Everyone habitually searched from behind. But after looking for half a day, they could not find Ye Yuan��s name either.


    ��Anybody saw Ye Yuan��s name? I already read until 1,500th place from the back and didn��t see it!��


    ��Most likely fell out of the top 3000, right? Or maybe he already died and we just weren��t aware.��


    ��I found it! This �� This ����


    ��What��s wrong? What place is it?��


    ��5 �� 553rd place! How is this possible?��


    ��What?! 500 plus ranking?��


    The crowd exploded all at once. Everyone looked in the direction of ranks around 500 and saw that Ye Yuan��s name was surprisingly in the 553rd position!


    Promoting 2000 over places in a year?


    This was also too freakish, right?


    ��553rd place, 634,365 god of war points! Hiss �� He obtained 500 thousand god of war points in this one year?��


    ��This God of War Golden List wouldn��t have made a mistake, right? When the God of War Golden List was released the first time, Wan Zhen used 30 years�� time and only obtained 500 thousand god of war points. Ye Yuan only used one year and achieved it?��


    In the crowd, Jiang Zhe was completely dumbfounded.


    Over 500 thousand god of war points in one year, this force of explosion was simply like a sledgehammer, stunning his entire person.


    He was already prepared to taunt Ye Yuan, but this value of 500 thousand shocked him.


    At the rate of this speed, wouldn��t even Wan Zhen��s position be threatened?


    In the next eight years, 500 thousand in a year, that was four million god of war points! This was a heaven-defying tempo!


    No, wait! The higher his ranking, the lesser the god of war points obtained when hunting fierce beasts.


    Now, even Wan Zhen��s speed of getting god of war points had dropped; let alone Ye Yuan?

 Chapter 2353 - Major Reversal!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��He must have gone to the Myriad Beast Battle Plain. Otherwise, it��s impossible to get so many god of war points within a year!��


    ��Bullshit! Don��t you know that Wan Zhen is in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain too? He only obtained several tens of thousands of points!��


    ?


    ��That can only mean that Ye Yuan��s efficiency is too high! Could it be that he really comprehended time law?��


    ��That��s impossible! Even Wan Zhen couldn��t comprehend it. So what right does he have?��


    �� ��


    Over 500 thousand god of war points in a year, this number shocked all of the unpredictable children in the city.


    Hence, Ye Yuan was speculating how Ye Yuan obtained so many god of war points.


    Everyone had different opinions about this matter.


    No matter who, they could not explain it either.


    Because apart from Ye Yuan, no one could achieve this.


    Wan Zhen could not as well!


    Hence, everyone waited to see, waiting for the update of the God of War Golden List next year.


    A year��s time was merely a snap of a finger.


    The day when the God of War Golden List was announced again, arrived very quickly.


    ��I don��t believe that this guy can really overturn the heavens! His ranking is so high now. The god of war points obtained will be greatly reduced! If he can get 200 thousand this time, it will already be very impressive!�� Jiang Zhe predicted very confidently.


    Everyone deeply felt that way too!


    Not that they were looking down on Ye Yuan, but that this was an inevitable trend.


    Along with the increase in ranking, getting god of war points would become harder and harder.


    Even if your combat strength surpassed all others, you would always run into the upper limits of your own strength.


    In a short thousand years�� time, how could it be possible to continuously be improving, and challenging high-level fierce beasts endlessly?


    This was illogical!


    ��I also feel that the god of war points he obtained this time should be between 200 thousand to 300 thousand. This time next year, it will definitely be even lesser; between 100 thousand to 200 thousand.��


    ��Mn, it should be like this. He hasn��t taken action for so many years, having an outbreak period is a very normal phenomenon. But it also ends here. Later, it will get slower and slower.��


    ��Top ten is definitely enough to choke on. But within top 30 shouldn��t be an issue anymore.��


    �� ��


    Everyone was all discussing the limits of Ye Yuan��s strength and calculated that Ye Yuan��s final result would be between 1.2 million to 1.4 million.


    At the rate of the current trend, this god of war points was already sufficient to rank into the top 30.


    But wanting to rank in the top ten, there was basically no chance.


    Very soon, the golden book pages unfurled once more. Everyone had looks of anticipation on their faces.


    The first place impressively still was Wan Zhen, without the slightest suspense.


    But what surprised people was that Wan Zhen actually obtained a lump sum of 130 thousand god of war points this time, reaching more than 3.28 million!


    This was a very horrifying number for his rank.


    And the second place Zhang Lian actually increased more than 110 thousand god of war points too!


    This chance made everyone rather surprised.


    ��How did Wan Zhen gain so many god of war points in this one year? Even if he casually hunted some fierce beasts now, it��s also impossible for Zhang Lian to catch up to him too, right?��


    ��There��s also Zhang Lian! These two people are suddenly struggling fiercely. What in the world are they afraid of?��


    ��Heh, maybe, they know about Ye Yuan��s sudden emergence, it��s also not impossible that they are afraid of him catching up!��


    ��Hahaha �� How is that possible! Even if give him another 100 years, he can��t catch up too!��


    �� ��


    These words, everyone naturally just treated it as a joke.


    No one would really take Ye Yuan seriously!


    Ye Yuan just started, while Wan Zhen��s god of war points was six times of Ye Yuan��s.


    How could this gap possibly be caught up to within a short seven years?


    According to everyone��s guesses, the greatest likelihood was still that these two people were going all out.


    How could they know that Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian��s pressure came from precisely Ye Yuan!


    Ever since they saw that Ye Yuan comprehended time law, the two of them seem to have gone crazy, desperately hunting fierce beasts.


    They continuously challenged their limits, carrying out a slaughter frenziedly.


    In this one year, the two people��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, increasing significantly.


    However, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.


    Because there was someone chasing from behind!


    Looking further down, the top 30 was followed with close interest.


    But, when the pages opened to the 30th place, everyone was shocked.


    Only to see that on the third place from the bottom of the page, a golden name was written impressively: Ye Yuan!


    28th place, Ye Yuan!


    God of war points, 1,239,804!


    In this instant, the unpredictable children in the entire square felt that their breathing became somewhat labored.


    Those people who predicted Ye Yuan��s god of war points previously all collectively lost their voices now.


    The originally noisy square instantly quietened down.


    Suddenly, someone said rather uncertainly, ��This �� He entered the top 30 already? My eyes aren��t failing me, right?��


    ��One year, 600 thousand god of war points, really blinded my eyes! Rising so many places in the ranking, his god of war points actually didn��t drop, but increased instead! How did he do it?��


    In the crowd, Jiang Zhe suddenly yelled hysterically, ��The God of War Golden List must have made a mistake! There absolutely must be a mistake! One year 600 thousand, how can someone possibly achieve it?��


    Not knowing why, he suddenly rather a little flustered.


    One year 600 thousand god of war points, this kind of thing simply subverted his understanding.


    ��Right, there must be a mistake! This guy must have found this world��s loophole! Otherwise, how can this year be even more than last year?�� Someone immediately agreed.


    ��It must be like this! See his ranking next year then!��


    When the matter exceeded everyone��s understanding, they habitually let their imaginations run wild, finding all sorts of reasons to deny this phenomenon.


    Especially for these geniuses, they did not want to acknowledge that someone was so much stronger than them.


    �� ��


    In the fourth year.


    Everyone already did not care about Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian anymore. Everyone��s attention was all on Ye Yuan!


    After a year��s time, what place would Ye Yuan charge to this time?


    When the golden book pages slowly opened, everyone��s expressions solidified once more.


    13th place!


    Over 1.7 million god of war points!


    A year��s time, Ye Yuan increased by another 500 thousand!


    Although it was a little less than last year, Ye Yuan still maintained the rapid growth momentum.


    He was only a step away from the top ten!


    As a result, the idea of a loophole in the rules caused a huge clamor once more!


    Jiang Zhe already did not know how to describe his feelings. A few years ago, he ridiculed Ye Yuan over and over again, saying that it was laughable for Ye Yuan to make a frantic last-minute effort.


    But now, he already became the most laughable person.


    Ye Yuan used a rocket-like speed of rising to prove his ridiculousness.


    So what if there were only ten years left?


    ��Insane, insane, insane! Really too crazy! In the last ten years, could it be that Ye Yuan is going to make a major comeback?��


    ��This guy wouldn��t be aiming for first place, right?��


    ��My god, close to 3.5 million god of war points, and it��s still growing! If it��s surpassed by him, wouldn��t the heavens change?��


    �� ��


    At this time, some people thought of this possibility. They could not help being filled with fear!


    Could Wan Zhen��s throne of first place be protected in the final six years?

 Chapter 2354 - Final Suspense!

    In the fifth year, Ye Yuan��s god of war points grew by another 450 thousand, reaching 2.15 million.


    This way, Ye Yuan used five years�� time and rose to the top three at a rocket speed!


    The entire city was shocked!


    No one could have thought that in the last ten years, the God of War Golden List actually changed heavens!


    After close to a thousand years, more than 12 thousand unpredictable children fought hard before they had today��s results.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan only used a short five years and climbed to third place.


    The questioning voices grew louder and louder. The questioning of a loophole in the rules grew more and more.


    Clearly, everyone was very unconvinced by this result.


    But now, an even bigger question was placed in front of everyone.


    That was �� could Ye Yuan surpass the top two on the ranking list? Could he make a heaven-defying comeback at the last moment?


    These two shook the rest off far behind them.


    ��Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian suddenly making a determined effort. It wouldn��t really be because of Ye Yuan, right?�� Suddenly, someone said weakly.


    There had been this argument previously, but everyone felt that this argument was too ridiculous.


    But today, when Ye Yuan climbed to third place, this notion suddenly popped up in everyone��s heads once more.


    This time, everyone did not find it ludicrous anymore.


    Although this argument was still a little preposterous, Ye Yuan��s speed of ascending was already sufficient to make the top two take it seriously.


    ��That��s impossible! How would Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian know that Ye Yuan��s god of war points will suddenly balloon?��


    ��It can basically be confirmed now that regardless of whether it is Ye Yuan, Wan Zhen, or Zhang Lian, they are all at the Myriad Beast Battle Plain. Maybe they met?��


    ��It��s also not entirely impossible! Previously, Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian��s god of war points clearly slowed down! These few years, they��ve made new heights year after year. Clearly, they are going all out. If there��s no sense of pressure, how can they possibly work so hard?��


    �� ��


    With drive and without drive, those were two completely different things.


    Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian already swept away all opponents five years ago.


    For ten years, there was no one who could catch up to them at all.


    Hence, even if they worked hard, it was also just a challenge to themselves, and would not push themselves to the limit.


    But if they ran into Ye Yuan and witnessed Ye Yuan��s combat strength, that would be totally different.


    This kind of situation was very likely!


    For a moment, everyone fell into shock.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan really relied on his strength and obtained so many god of war points?


    The following few years completely became these three people��s tussles!


    In the sixth year, Ye Yuan obtained another 400 thousand points, reaching 2.55 million; that was only a step away from Zhang Lian��s 2.8 million!


    Everyone��s nerves were wound up tightly.


    In the seventh year, Ye Yuan still obtained over 400 thousand god of war points, reaching more than 2.97 million.


    This year, Ye Yuan was still ranked third.


    However, he was merely just a few thousand god of war points away from the second place.


    Without any doubt, this time next year, Ye Yuan would replace Zhang Lian who was at the second place, becoming the God of War Golden List��s second place!


    No one could have thought that Zhang Lian, who was as steady as Mount Tai, would actually be surpassed by someone one day!


    Sure enough, in the eighth year, Ye Yuan obtained another 400 thousand god of war points, surpassing Zhang Lian in one stroke, becoming the God of War Golden List��s second place!


    On this day, the entire Cloudaid City was seething with excitement.


    ��Damn it, even though I��ve been mentally prepared for a long time, when this day really arrived, it still feels unthinkable!��


    ��What the f*ck! I can��t figure it out! Even Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian can only obtain over 100 thousand god of war points in a year. So how did he achieve 400 thousand a year?��


    ��Zhang Lian has already been pulled down. Right now, there��s only Wan Zhen left!��


    �� ��


    Zhang Lian had already been surpassed. Ye Yuan was only left with a final opponent, Wan Zhen!


    This person was Cloudaid City��s insurmountable existence. He was a powerful opponent that made everyone not dare to look directly at him.


    Starting from roughly the second hundredth year, there was already no one who dared to have the thought of surpassing him anymore.


    This notion became increasingly stronger towards the end.


    But no one could have thought that in the last ten years, a guy who had never entered the God of War Golden List before, suddenly skyrocketed heaven-defyingly, arriving at the position of second place!


    And now, Wan Zhen��s god of war points was 3.98 million!


    Ye Yuan��s god of war points was currently 3.42 million!


    There was a difference of 560 thousand god of war points between the two!


    Could it be surpassed?


    Staying in the Primeval War Realm for close to a thousand years, these unpredictable children had never discovered that they would get so nervous.


    Was it Wan Zhen narrowly defending his throne of number one, or Ye Yuan making a heaven-defying comeback, rising up amidst insignificance, and climbing to the summit?


    This suspense would not be revealed until the final year.


    It was another year in a blink!


    On this day, the God of War Golden List was released!


    When Wan Zhen��s name appeared, everyone immediately seethed with excitement.


    Someone exclaimed, ��170 thousand! This year, Wan Zhen actually obtained 170 thousand! With this, the number one throne is secured!��


    4.15 million!


    This was Wan Zhen��s current god of war points.


    Following that, it was Ye Yuan!


    3.83 million!


    This year, Ye Yuan obtained 410 thousand god of war points!


    Now, the difference between the two was 320 thousand.


    ��Hahaha, indeed still couldn��t make it! Wan Zhen finally showed his stuff at the final juncture! At the rate of this speed, Wan Zhen just has to obtain 150 thousand god of war points next year and he��ll surely win!��


    When Jiang Zhe saw this result, he could not resist laughing out loud.


    Finally, Ye Yuan still failed!


    Even though he knew that Ye Yuan��s current performance was already sufficiently heaven-defying.


    Even though he knew that it was only because Ye Yuan lacked time.


    But, for Ye Yuan to fail to get first place, he just felt happy!


    As long as Wan Zhen got more than 150 thousand, that would be a gap of 470 thousand.


    According to Ye Yuan��s current rate of speed, it was roughly a little more than 400 thousand every year, it was impossible to defy the heavens next year.


    The outcome is a foregone conclusion!


    Seeing this result, many people also let out a sigh of relief.


    ��Sure enough, still unable to surpass!��


    ��Wan Zhen is so strong. He has always been sitting firmly at first place but was surpassed by Ye Yuan using ten years. I��m really unable to accept this!��


    ��There must be something fishy! He must have grasped a loophole in the rules. Otherwise, how can he possibly be so heaven-defying?��


    �� ��


    Those present were all unpredictable children, all rare geniuses.


    Wan Zhen being strong, that was having proceeded steadily step by step, and through a thousand years of hard work. They could accept it.


    But Ye Yuan used a thousand years to gain enlightenment on Dao, and suddenly jumped out in the last ten years to compete for the rankings.


    Furthermore, he only used ten years�� time and reached second place.


    They were unable to accept such a thing emotionally.


    Maybe, they just did not hope to be crushed.


    Tenth year, apart from the top 30, practically everyone returned to Cloudaid City.


    There was already no point in continuing to cultivate.


    Everyone was waiting for the last release of the God of War Golden List!


    The release this time would determine who could get the final ten spots!


    Suddenly, several beams of light flashed. There were suddenly several dozen additional people at the rebirth point.


    Clearly, the hour had arrived, and everyone was transported back.

 Chapter 2355 - The Final God of War Golden List Publication!

    These roughly over 30 people still had blank faces when they returned to the city.


    Clearly, they still had not recovered to their senses.


    Just earlier, each one of them was still in a bloody battle.


    But in a blink, they were transported back.


    Especially Ye Yuan, Wan Zhen, and Zhang Lian three people, they were clearly somewhat at a loss on what to do at this time.


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan was still narrowly escaping death under the pincer attacks of a large group of fierce beasts.


    Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian were the same.


    Wan Zhen��s gaze adjusted to the present very quickly and saw the Ye Yuan in the crowd.


    He was just about to go over to greet when he was surrounded by a large group of people.


    ��Wan Zhen, how many god of war points do you have right now?�� A powerhouse ranked 40 plus immediately moved closer to ask.


    Wan Zhen was taken aback and said, ��4.34 million, why?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces immediately revealed wild ecstasy.


    ��Hahaha, that despicable brat has completely no chance now! A gap of 510 thousand, it��s impossible for that punk to catch up!�� That powerhouse said in great joy.


    Wan Zhen frowned and said, ��What gap of 510 thousand? What are you guys talking about?��


    When he said so, there were immediately many people in the crowd who were filled with righteous indignation, especially Jiang Zhe.


    ��Wan Zhen, we really feel too unjust for you! There��s a punk who resorted to trickery, and he could actually attain 400 to 500 thousand god of war points in one year, forcefully climbing to second place from behind!��


    ��Yeah, lucky you stood firm and exerted your strength at the last moment, overwhelming him ruthlessly!��


    ��First place is first place. His strength indeed isn��t simply for show, to actually be able to obtain 190 thousand god of war points in a year!��


    �� ��


    How clever was Wan Zhen? He discerned what the problem was from these people��s words very quickly.


    ��You guys are talking about Ye Yuan, right? He didn��t use trickery! Turns out that he��s already in second place? Indeed terrifying!�� Wan Zhen also looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise again as he said.


    Everyone was stunned, suddenly falling into silence.


    Wan Zhen actually personally defended Ye Yuan!


    This guy did not eat the wrong medicine, right?


    ��Didn��t use trickery? How is that possible? With your strength, you only got over 100 thousand god of war points every year. He��s far worse than you but actually got 400 to 500 thousand points in a year. This is too illogical!�� Jiang Zhe said with a look of disbelief.


    But Wan Zhen shook his head and said, ��When Ye Yuan was fighting in the Myriad Beast Battle Plain, Zhang Lian and I saw it with our own eyes! He already comprehended time law. Laws of time and space being unleashed together, coupled with Sword Dao source and Formation Dao source, his strength is already not beneath mine! Furthermore, the power of his sword formation can deal with hundreds and thousands of fierce beasts at the same time. The efficiency of obtaining god of war points is far stronger than us! Even though 400 to 500 thousand in a year is a little exaggerated, he absolutely didn��t resort to trickery.��


    At the same time, a hint of ridicule flashed across Zhang Lian��s beautiful face, and he said disdainfully, ��You can��t imagine it, doesn��t mean that others can��t do it! If not for Ye Yuan��s encouragement, the two of us also wouldn��t have hunted fierce beasts without heed for our lives. Of course, we also wouldn��t have obtained tremendous benefits.��


    Ever since seeing Ye Yuan��s battle, the two of them started a crazy hunting mode.


    Although it was impossible to be like Ye Yuan, they frequently pushed themselves to their limits, narrowly escaping death several times.


    In these ten years, the two of them similarly made great progress.


    With motivation and without motivation, those were two totally different states!


    The over ten thousand people in the square were shocked by these two people��s words until they were staring dumbfoundedly.


    Firstly, Ye Yuan really comprehended time law!


    Secondly, Ye Yuan��s 400 to 500 thousand god of war points every year, that was actually really obtained by him hunting fierce beasts himself!


    Thirdly, his strength could actually rival Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian already!


    This news was too soul-stirring.


    In these ten years, they had always judged based on the numbers. It was far less shocking than Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian personally explaining it.


    It turned out that Wan Zhen and Zhang Lian suddenly erupting was really because of Ye Yuan!


    All of this was simply like a dream.


    How could there be such a monstrous person in this world?


    Ten years!


    Ye Yuan used ten years�� time and instantly obliterated their 1000 years of hard work!


    They were all unpredictable children, existences that even heaven was jealous of.


    But, if they were existences that even heaven was jealous of, then what �� was Ye Yuan?


    When they were mocking Ye Yuan for comprehending time law, when they were questioning that Ye Yuan resorted to trickery, when they were mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability; Heaven was watching them and laughing!


    Not that Ye Yuan was overestimating his own ability, he really had the talent to comprehend time law!


    Wan Zhen could not be bothered to care about everyone��s shock. Dividing the crowd, he came before Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Younger Brother Ye is truly an unrivaled talent. You don��t know how shocked the two of us were when we saw you execute time law on that day!��


    Time law was known as the number one law in the world!


    Although it was on par with spatial law, the difficulty of comprehension was several times harder than spatial law.


    Even a peerless genius like Wan Zhen was unable to comprehend it too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That day, I sensed the two of you fellow daoists. But at that time, it was trapped in a heavy encirclement and was too busy to say hello. I hope that Fellow Daoist doesn��t blame.��


    Ye Yuan��s impression of Wan Zhen was pretty good.


    This was someone capable of shouldering great responsibility!


    Wan Zhen shook his head and laughed in spite of himself and said, ��What��s Younger Brother Ye saying? I won��t ask about your god of war points either. Let��s await the release of the God of War Golden List together then!��


    Ye Yuan smiled as he nodded his head. Right then, there was a tremor in the void, a volume of pages flew out for the last time.


    Everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    ��Impossible! Impossible! Even if these god of war points were derived from his true strength, it��s also impossible for him to obtain 510 thousand god of war points with his ranking!�� Jiang Zhe cried out frantically in his heart.


    Judging from Ye Yuan��s situation in previous years, it was impossible for him to surpass 500 thousand.


    The pages slowly unfurled, affecting the hearts of each unpredictable children.


    Very soon, the pages revealed the tip of the iceberg.


    A huge golden name appeared in front of everyone.


    Buzz!


    There was immediately a burst of exclamation in the square.


    ��First place, Ye Yuan!��


    ��Surpassed! He really surpassed Wan Zhen!��


    ��Too inconceivable! In this last year, he actually obtained 540 thousand god of war points! How �� How did he do it?��


    ��Too crazy! Too shocking! Ten years, he only used ten years. He then reached the top of the God of War Golden List!��


    �� ��


    A nuke seemed to have detonated in the square. Everyone exploded.


    The first name that appeared on the page was precisely Ye Yuan��s!


    In the last year, Ye Yuan miraculously gained 540 thousand god of war points, and finally reached a horrifying 4.37 million, suppressing the Wan Zhen who had maintained first place for a thousand years with the edge of 30 thousand points.


    The shock that this scene brought to everyone was seriously too strong.


    Jiang Zhe looked at the name on the page, feeling battered out of his senses as he muttered under his breath, ��How is this possible? How is this possible? Without cheating, how can he possibly get 540 thousand god of war points in a year?��

 Chapter 2356 - Caged Battle!

    Second place, Wan Zhen, 4.34 million god of war points!


    Third place, Zhang Lian, 3.21 million god of war points!


    Fourth place, Gu Tianzhen, 2.12 million god of war points!


    �� ��


    The God of War Golden List slowly unfolded, one name after another displaying in front of everybody.


    The top ten names were finally decided as well.


    Some rejoiced, some bemoaned. With Ye Yuan climbing to the top, there were naturally people who were eliminated.


    In the crowd, several murderous gazes shot toward him.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    Seeing this result, Wan Zhen himself was very surprised too.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan really did it!


    Ten years ago, Ye Yuan never made it onto the God of War Golden List!


    A gap of more than four million was caught up just like that.


    Honestly speaking, he was still a little sour in his heart.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, you actually obtained 540 god of war points in this last year!�� Wan Zhen looked at Ye Yuan and exclaimed.


    Even though several hundred thousand a year was very impressive, this sudden eruption in the last year clearly still exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I had some new insights during this year again, and so I made a trip to the Celestial Beast Plain. That��s how I gained more than 500 thousand god of war points.��


    Wan Zhen��s entire body trembled and he sucked in a cold breath as he said, ��You went to the Celestial Beast Plain?��


    ��What?! He �� He actually went to the Celestial Beast Plain!��


    ��He��s really a mad man! The Celestial Beast Plain is the central region of the Myriad Beast Battle Plain. Each one of the fierce beasts is incomparably powerful. He could actually come back alive from there!��


    ��Not that no one dares to go to the Celestial Beast Plain, but that no one can go there!��


    �� ��


    The moment these words came out, everyone revealed extremely shocked expressions.


    The Myriad Beast Battle Plain��s area was extremely vast. But the more towards the central region, the stronger the strength of the fierce beasts.


    Furthermore, the fierce beasts of the central region were very densely packed. Wanting to rush to the central region from the periphery of the Myriad Beast Battle Plain was simply an impossible task.


    Even Wan Zhen could not do it either!


    He and Zhang Lian also continuously went deep into the central region but failed to reach the Celestial Beast Plain in the end too.


    But Ye Yuan reached it.


    In reality, before being transported back just now, he was still undergoing a life-and-death battle in the Celestial Beast Plain.


    Everyone suddenly somewhat understood why Ye Yuan was able to soar at a rate of 400 to 500 thousand god of war points every year.


    Being able to rush into the Celestial Beast Plain, this in itself already illustrated many problems.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had made great improvements in these ten years�� time too.


    Regardless of whether it was Sword Dao source or Formation Dao source, or whether spatial law, time law, he had an extremely deep understanding.


    Under this kind of high-intensity battle, his potential was excavated once again.


    Furthermore, after he finished taking care of a swarm, he would continue advancing forward, all the way until he reached the Celestial Beast Plain.


    However, the strength of the fierce beasts in the Celestial Beast Plain was also indeed extraordinary.


    Even he felt extremely strained too.


    If not for his spatial law breaking through to rank eight at the final juncture, it would also not have been impossible that he would fall in battle and return to Cloudaid City.


    ��You this fellow, really a freak! I really want to know what kind of boundary you��ve reached currently!�� Wan Zhen said with a bitter smile.


    ��There will be an opportunity,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    Everyone looked with gazes as if looking at a monster to look at Ye Yuan. This guy simply was not a human!


    Just as everyone was exclaiming with admiration, there was suddenly a tremor in the void.


    A huge cage broke out of the sky and suspended in the air.


    At this moment, the million unpredictable children in the Primeval War Realm could see this enormous cage distinctly.


    For a moment, there was shock all around!


    ��What��s this playing at again?��


    ��Could it be that the genius competition this time hasn��t ended yet?��


    ��Isn��t it said that as long as people entered the top ten, they can all obtain the inheritances? Could it be that it isn��t like this?��


    �� ��


    Just as everyone was shocked, the figures of Ye Yuan and the rest gradually became illusory.


    When they appeared again, they had already arrived in the cage.


    There were also many strangers who appeared at the same time.


    Sweeping a glance over, there were just a thousand people!


    The top ten of each city all gathered in the cage!


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone drew a cold breath.


    Gathering the top 1000 people together, this was going to be a melee!


    Suddenly, a voice came out of the void. It was precisely Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s voice.


    ��This is your final test, a caged battle! This time, there are no restrictions. Bring out all of your means, and kill the people around you! The last person alive shall obtain a supreme inheritance! The next 10 people will obtain a top inheritance! The rest of the people will obtain an ordinary inheritance! Now, the killing begins!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� voice was akin to rolling thunder, exploding in everyone��s ears.


    However, those unpredictable children were clearly all not prepared.


    Even Ye Yuan had a stunned look too.


    He heard Jian Yunxin say before that there were ten top inheritances, but he did not know that there was still a supreme inheritance.


    Wonder what kind of terrifying legacy this so-called supreme inheritance was.


    However �� a thousand of the top-notch unpredictable children were all gathered in one cage now. This would really be a terrifying bloody battle.


    To think that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could come up with such a perverse idea.


    However, Ye Yuan understood very well.


    Because in the future, these unpredictable children would definitely encounter this kind of scenario!


    At that time, they might encounter even more and even stronger divine race powerhouses.


    This kind of melee, just treat it as a preview in advance.


    Dying in this caged battle now, they could still come back to life.


    But in the future, when they faced divine race powerhouses, they would not be able to come back to life.


    A little more preparation was considered to have a process of adapting in advance, right?


    Ye Yuan turned to look at Wan Zhen beside him and could not help laughing as he said, ��You see, I said that there will be an opportunity, right?��


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��I didn��t expect that it came so quickly! Okay, let me experience what right you have to walk in the Celestial Beast Plain!��


    At this instant, Wan Zhen brimmed with fighting spirit.


    Even though he knew that Ye Yuan was very strong, and also knew that Ye Yuan had many trump cards, he had his own pride. He also had absolute confidence in himself.


    Therefore, he did not think that he would lose to Ye Yuan.


    Who was stronger and who was weaker, got to fight before one would know.


    By the side, Zhang Lian rolled his eyes and said, ��The two of you fight then. I��m not getting involved. I��m not Wan Zhen��s match. If you lose, the two of us fight then.��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Suddenly, a scream came from beside them. There was actually someone who was killed already.


    The battle came suddenly.


    In an instant, the flames of war started burning in the cage.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Waves of terrifying energy undulation exploded in the cage.


    This cage was clearly specially made. Even if a thousand unpredictable children fought frenziedly, they were unable to break this cage too.


    At this time, several unpredictable children not far away saw that Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was low. They immediately rushed over toward him.


    ��Brat, really don��t know how you came in. Your city is too weak! Sending you on your way then!�� An unpredictable child grinned sinisterly and rushed over towards Ye Yuan.


    However, he discovered to his horror that his speed of advancement became slower and slower, increasingly slower.


    His pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock, ��T-Time law!��

 Chapter 2357 - The Powerful Wan Zhen!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Suddenly, a cold light appeared around Ye Yuan.


    Puchi!


    ?


    Ye Yuan did not look at that guy at all and his body was already pierced into a sieve, kicking the bucket.


    Opposite, Wan Zhen��s pupils constricted.


    Ye Yuan killed a top ten powerhouse so effortlessly!


    Really very strong!


    In Cloudaid City, people opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene with shocked faces.


    ��So strong! That��s a powerhouse ranked in the top 10. He killed the other person without even giving him a look!��


    ��Is that time law? Indeed well-deserving of being a supreme law. It��s really too strong!��


    ��Just how strong is Ye Yuan��s current strength? From his appearance, it seems like he��s going to fight with Wan Zhen!��


    �� ��


    Everyone had looks of anticipation. They really wanted to take a look at just who was stronger and who was weaker between the former number one and the current number one.


    While time law was powerful, Wan Zhen had experienced these few years of training. Just how strong he was, they were unable to judge as well.


    Everything would only be known after fighting!


    After all, Wan Zhen was three minor realms higher than Ye Yuan!


    ��Time law is indeed impressive!��


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly, causing the pressure of an Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor to suddenly bloom!


    During these ten years�� time, Ye Yuan fought crazily. Currently, his realm improved further and was already comparable to Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Among the unpredictable children, especially among these top 1000, even half a minor realm lower was fatal too.


    But Ye Yuan was going to challenge the Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor Wan Zhen with a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor cultivation realm.


    But, no one felt that there was anything wrong.


    Ye Yuan��s trump cards were too many!


    All of a sudden, five kinds of power of laws suddenly descended, forming a perfect closed loop around Wan Zhen.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Fusing the Five Element Laws! Brother Wan indeed kept to your own counsel!��


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��It��s not that I kept to my own counsel. It��s just that I didn��t have a chance to display it!��


    Five Element Laws, just comprehending one was nothing.


    This was the most basic power of law, what the vast majority of martial artists comprehended was one or two of the Five Element Laws.


    Those with stronger talents would comprehend three kinds.


    In fact, the Lu Ziyi whom Ye Yuan had once seen before, she was extremely talented, comprehending all of the Five Element Laws.


    But comprehending was easy, while fusion was hard!


    Wanting to fuse the Five Element Laws into one, this was something harder than ascending to heaven.


    The difficulty was no less than Ye Yuan��s comprehension of the two great supreme laws!


    Five elements fusing into one, the power would not be the slightest bit inferior to the supreme laws!


    Five elements, mutually promoting and restraining each other.


    If it could be fused into one, it would be able to continue in an endless cycle. One thought, one world; it was exceedingly powerful.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could feel that Wan Zhen��s five power of laws was extremely balanced.


    These five kinds of power of laws, there was you in me, me in you; nothing the least bit superfluous.


    This kind of five elements fusion could be rated as perfect!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Brother Wan��s Five Element Laws is probably more than this, right?��


    Wan Zhen smiled and said, ��That��s right! My water law, fire law, and wood law, already reached the level of source! It��s just that once the five elements balance is broken, the power will be inferior to now instead. Hence, these three laws are almost useless to me.��


    Even Ye Yuan also sucked in a breath of cold air.


    He originally thought that Wan Zhen comprehended one or two source powers. Did not expect that he actually already comprehended three kinds!


    One day, if he comprehended five great source powers at the same time, and achieved the balance of the Five Element Laws once more, that would be too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, ��It was this Ye who underestimated the heroes of the world! Brother Wan��s talent is unprecedented since time immemorial! What��s even rarer is that Brother Wan��s considerations are huge and can take a broad view of the world; truly hard to come by!��


    Wan Zhen smiled and said, ��Younger Brother Ye, stop overselling me! In terms of talent, who can compare to you? Oh, Time law! This Wan tried for a long time, but I still gave up in the end! Now, with Younger Brother Ye synchronizing time and space, your combat power is unparalleled under the heavens. Enough talk, let��s fight!��


    Ye Yuan was also filled with lofty sentiments and laughed loudly as he said, ��Hahaha, come and fight!��


    At this time, it already became a mess in the cage. It was incomparably chaotic everywhere.


    But these two only had the other in their eyes.


    A treasure pagoda suddenly appeared in Wan Zhen��s hand.


    Only to see his expression turn solemn, the aura of the treasure pagoda billowing to the sky, and suddenly slamming over towards Ye Yuan.


    The speed was unbelievably fast.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, the sword formation suddenly rising, meeting the treasure pagoda.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two people��s battle gave off a loud noise.


    One massive energy undulation after another rippled out between the two of them. No one dared to approach them at all.


    Inside the cage, those unpredictable children were all shuddering with fear, choosing to stay away from these two people very consciously.


    An unpredictable child could not resist cursing, ��Damn, these two fellows are really strong! Similarly top ten, the disparity isn��t just a little bit!��


    ��That one who��s using the sword formation, still thought that he was easy to bully just now, didn��t expect that he��s so strong. Luckily I didn��t make a move!��


    ��Time law coupled with two great source powers, this kid is simply a freak! Also, there��s the other guy. He actually achieved the perfect balance of the five elements! These two aren��t human at all!��


    �� ��


    Regardless of which city it was, the gap between the top ten was very large too.


    Under normal circumstances, the top three or top two was an echelon. It was even be divided into two or three echelons at the back.


    As for how strong each city��s number one was, it would only be known after competing.


    But Wan Zhen and Ye Yuan��s fight made them realize the disparity.


    Amidst the chaotic battlefield, a black figure stood in the air, with the power of lightning on his body surging crazily.


    No one dared to approach this person at all! The power of lightning on his body was too strong!


    Even a fool could also guess that this person was the successor of Dao Ancestor Lightning, Pang Zhen!


    His gaze was already drawn by Wan Zhen and Ye Yuan��s gazes.


    ��Heh, I really didn��t expect that besides us, another guy who can rival Wan Zhen actually popped out. This kid is very strong! Looks like the supreme position this time is very troublesome!��


    A youth dressed in ink-black long robes fanned his fan, arriving beside Pang Zhen.


    Others were afraid of Pang Zhen, but he did not seem to care at all.


    This youth fanning his fan was Noble Carefree, Yu Tanzhi, who was as famous as Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen.


    Pang Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��The supreme position is mine. Nobody can snatch it away! Wan Zhen can��t, you, likewise can��t!��


    Yu Tanzhi laughed and said, ��Pang Zhen, you��re always like this! Who can get the final position of supremacy, not reaching the end, who will know?��


    Pang Zhen��s gaze turned cold, the aura on his body surging as he said in a solemn voice, ��Looks like you want to have a go at me?��


    Yu Tanzhi put away his fan and said smilingly, ��Fighting, naturally got to fight. But before this, shouldn��t we clean up these trash first? Also, those two, isn��t it good to let them fight first?��


    Pang Zhen withdrew his aura and said coolly, ��Mn, what you said makes sense!��


    Swoosh!


    Finished talking, his figure suddenly disappeared, his speed being inconceivably swift.

 Chapter 2358 - Five Qi Dayorigin VS True Nirvana Sword Formation!

    Inside the cage, lightning ran rampant!


    Places that it passed through, wailing sounded out!


    Pang Zhen was well-deserving of being Ancestor Lightning��s successor. To be able to cultivate lightning source to such a level, it was truly seldomly seen.


    Laws had distinctions in superiority, but at the same time it also depended on how a person utilized it.


    People who cultivated supreme laws might not be stronger than those who cultivated ordinary laws.


    But Pang Zhen had clearly gained the essence of Ancestor Lightning��s true legacy, applying lightning source to a transcendent realm.


    However, they were all top ten powerhouses at any rate.


    Especially the various cities�� top three, those were all existences with extremely fearsome strength.


    Pang Zhen being so overbearing also aroused the dislike of some powerhouses.


    The temptation of this legacy was too great. Who did not want to get the supreme inheritance?


    Even if they did not get the supreme inheritance, obtaining the ten major legacies was also pretty good.


    Hence, some powerhouses discovered that something was wrong and established an offensive and defensive alliance very quickly.


    In short, inside the enormous cage fell into an extremely chaotic situation.


    But as the numbers decreased more and more, the battle situation also grew more intense.


    Because those who remained were all experts among experts.


    Even Pang Zhen also felt overwhelmed facing several great powerhouses at the same time.


    ��Hahaha, awesome! Younger Brother Ye, you should also bring out your true ability already!�� Wan Zhen said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Brother Wan is indeed formidable! Since that��s the case, this Ye won��t conceal my abilities anymore!��


    Over here, the two people fought earth-shatteringly.


    But up to this point, they both did not bring out their true strength and were both testing each other.


    Even so, their combat power already surpassed the vast majority of the people present.


    In Cloudaid City, Jiang Zhe was dumbstruck with amazement long ago!


    Only seeing Wan Zhen and Ye Yuan��s fight did he know how terrifying Ye Yuan��s strength was.


    The current Ye Yuan was more than ten times stronger than the Ye Yuan back then!


    Let alone that Ye Yuan had not used the law of time and space yet.


    Only then did he understand how laughable these few years of questioning were.


    In the crowd, Qin Hu��s expression was also very ugly as he said, ��Really blinded my dog eyes! How was it blinded by obsession back then, to go and provoke this freak?��


    Mo Xi gave him a glance and said crossly, ��If you know that you��re blind, change your temper in the future, and stop making trouble everywhere! This is inside the Primeval War Realm. If it was outside, you��d had long died ten times over!��


    Qin Hu deeply felt that way too and nodded repeatedly and said, ��You��re right. I mustn��t simply posture anymore in the future, and keep a low-profile. Damn, you really can��t judge a book by its cover, and the sea cannot be measured with a bushel. Some people really can��t be provoked!��


    Only then did he know what kind of freak Ye Yuan was.


    A thousand years was neither long nor short.


    Ye Yuan��s improvement in these 1000 years could simply be described with the word terrifying.


    Forget that his realm increased quickly, his power of laws even advanced at a tremendous pace.


    And he had not showcased his real skills yet!


    ��His move! Wan Zhen is going to use his ultimate move, Five Qi Dayorigin! I really don��t know what kind of realm his move already reached!��


    ��My god, the power of this move is more than ten times stronger than just now!��


    ��This pressure, it��s simply going to burst through the cage! Five Elemental Laws fusing perfectly is really too terrifying!��


    �� ��


    Amidst everyone��s exclamations, Wan Zhen��s imposing aura suddenly rose several levels.


    Above his head, a five-colored flower petal quietly condensed into shape.


    Wan Zhen controlled the treasure pagoda, the five-petaled flower rotated without resting.


    This scene looked very gorgeous.


    But every powerhouse in the cage felt a dangerous aura.


    Many powerhouses, even those powerhouses ranked in the top three, all gave a wide berth, consciously distancing themselves from the two.


    Even Pang Zhen��s eyes also flickered slightly, clearly very shocked.


    Over the past thousand years, Wan Zhen��s strength did not just improve by a little bit!


    His major five elemental fusion became even more powerful!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils also shrunk.


    This Wan Zhen was really too strong.


    This move had not been unleashed yet, but there were no flaws at all.


    This battle was a tough fight, there was no chance to gain any advantage by trickery.


    His thoughts stirred and the sword formation suddenly changed.


    It was just that this change did not have any major changes in the eyes of others.


    ��Did the formation change? Doesn��t look very impressive!��


    ��This bit of change, can it survive under the attack of the Five Qi Dayorigin?��


    ��Is this Ye Yuan��s final trump card? Doesn��t look like much! Even if he used time law, it��s also impossible to be very strong, right?��


    �� ��


    The power of the sword formation was not so intuitive.


    But once one got caught in the sword formation, that would be terrifying.


    Bystanders could not understand Ye Yuan��s action at all. They just instinctively felt that he could defend against Wan Zhen��s move.


    True Nirvana Sword Formation!


    This was Ye Yuan��s newest comprehended sword formation. It was also by relying on precisely this set of sword formation, that Ye Yuan could kill into the Celestial Beast Plain, and obtained more than 500 thousand god of war points at the final moment, making a heaven-defying comeback!


    One could imagine how strong this sword formation was.


    Over the past thousand years, especially the recent ten years, Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao source and Formation Dao source improved significantly again.


    During a battle, Ye Yuan fused these two great powers of source and the law of time and space fully, creating this set of True Nirvana Sword Formation!


    The power was extremely terrifying!


    Wan Zhen similarly did not understand, but he instinctively felt that Ye Yuan��s change seemed to be even more profound.


    How profound, he could not explain it.


    But he understood that it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to rely on an ordinary move to deal with his Five Qi Dayorigin.


    He would know how strong after he gave it a try!


    At once, he no longer hesitated as well, urging the treasure pagoda.


    Five flower petals rolled like a wheel and flew over toward Ye Yuan.


    In an instant, everyone felt like heaven and earth were pressing down.


    The five elements developed myriad things in the world. Wan Zhen perfectly used the Five Elemental Laws, didn��t it represent the entire world?


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, True Nirvana Sword Formation suddenly operating, forming a world of its own.


    Rumble!


    As soon as they collided, it was as if the world started shaking.


    The entire cage started trembling violently.


    Many unpredictable children were currently in the midst of fierce fighting. Even though they already avoided far away, they were still affected by this tremor.


    They did not have time to resist in the slightest and were directly drowned by the horrifying energy, dying until they could not be deader.


    Wan Zhen��s pupils constricted, he did not expect that this unremarkable sword formation was actually so strong!


    Evenly-matched!


    At once, he did not dare to be neglectful, divine essence surging crazily once more.


    That five elements spinning wheel actually started disintegrating after this collision!


    ��Deriving Myriad Dao!��


    Wan Zhen roared explosively, that five enormous flower petals immediately decomposed into thousands of miniature petals.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils shrunk, the power of this move was several times stronger than earlier!


    These decomposed petals seemed disorderly and unsystematic, but actually, every five petals formed a miniature closed loop.


    And between each closed loop, there was a magical kind of power attracting.


    This was deriving myriad Dao!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly dark, his figure moving. He actually directly took a step out and entered among those countless flower petals!

 Chapter 2359 - Welcome to Come Over

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan was drowned by the five petals.


    In fact, even his sword formation was submerged too.


    ?


    Everyone opened their mouths wide and had shocked faces.


    It could be played like this still?


    Wasn��t this courting death?


    Deriving myriad Dao, it could only be overcome by strength.


    If Wan Zhen��s move had flaws, Ye Yuan could naturally break them through ingenuity.


    But Wan Zhen��s move did not have flaws at all. It was perfect until there were no weaknesses to exploit!


    Then, how terrifying was the power of the core area of this move?


    Slightly using one��s brain to think and one would understand.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Amidst the petal rain that filled the sky, a series of detonating sounds came over.


    People could not see Ye Yuan��s figure at all, they only saw one streak of sword light after another appearing and disappearing again inside.


    But when Pang Zhen saw this scene, his gaze turned sharp!


    ��What a formidable brat, to actually see through where the problem lies at a glance! Wan Zhen this move derives myriad Dao, wanting to crack it, there��s only from the inside! Although doing it like this, the danger is also several times greater! But, this is the only chance!�� Pang Zhen said in shock.


    Five elements developing Dao, continuous reproduction in an endless succession!


    That was the power of Dao, even if it was Dao that had shrunk countless times smaller.


    Wan Zhen��s strength did not lie in how strong his offensive power was, but precisely that he had no chinks in his armor.


    No matter how you raged like a storm, how could you break my Dao?


    Among these top-notch unpredictable children, to talk about whose offensive power was number one, that was definitely Pang Zhen.


    But to talk about who was the most difficult to deal with, that was definitely Wan Zhen!


    Even Pang Zhen also did not dare to easily make a move against Wan Zhen.


    Wanting to defeat Wan Zhen, either break through with strength, such as a Deva Realm martial artist forcefully using cultivation realm to suppress him firmly.


    Or it was collapsing from within!


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan saw through where the problem lay at a glance.


    But seeing through was one thing; whether he dared to enter was another thing.


    The core of this move was not a glass bottle that broke at a touch, but was powerful until it made people despair instead!


    Several powerful unpredictable children were all paying attention to the battle situation over here.


    Seeing this scene, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    ��Ye Yuan is definitely dead this time! Evolving myriad Dao to form its own world, isn��t it seeking death for him to enter inside the world?��


    ��Heh heh, it��s indeed still Wan Zhen who��s a level stronger! Looks like him being able to obtain so many god of war points was purely due to the sword formation.��


    ��Something��s not quite right! Why do I see that Wan Zhen��s expression is becoming more and more serious?��


    �� ��


    The crowd that was eating melons and who did not understand the truth naturally felt that Ye Yuan��s behavior was very foolish.


    Strength determined the horizon!


    Although they were all unpredictable children, the gap between these powerhouses in the city and the powerhouses inside the cage was too great!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The explosion sounds became more and more intense, and increasingly horrifying.


    That earth-shaking sound seemed to be one sledgehammer blow after another, striking onto people��s hearts.


    Suddenly, the earth quaked and mountains swayed!


    Those countless petals actually suddenly exploded at this time, shattering into pieces.


    The horrifying energy undulation actually seeped out of the cage and reached the Primeval War Realm!


    Immediately, mountains collapsed and the earth split apart!


    This was the power of a Heavenly Emperor level powerhouse. The power was seriously too horrifying.


    Wan Zhen spewed a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, letting out a muffled groan, his figure flying out backward.


    While at this time, ten thousand streaks of sword light poured out, blinding everyone��s eyes.


    That was Ye Yuan��s sword formation!


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene with shocked faces.


    Ye Yuan, he won?


    Even the likes of Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhi also had astonished expressions on their faces.


    No one could have thought that Wan Zhen actually really lost.


    Furthermore, he was defeated so quickly!


    The current Ye Yuan appeared somewhat tousled, the wounds on his body shocking to behold.


    Among his peers, those able to push him to this extent, Wan Zhen was still the first!


    ��What a terrifying sword formation! You already perfectly fused two great sources and the laws of time and space. This sword formation will definitely radiate with splendor in the future! What��s its name?�� Wan Zhen clutched his wound and looked at Ye Yuan as he said in shock.


    Just earlier, he already went all out, wanting to kill Ye Yuan.


    But unfortunately, the power of Ye Yuan��s sword formation was too powerful!


    Regardless of whether it was defense or offense, it was ridiculously strong!


    Sword Dao source was a law that was among one of the few with top offensive power to begin with. The laws of time and space were also perfectly fused inside, as well as the enhancement of Formation Dao source.


    This move was too vague and too swift and fierce!


    Such a move that no rivals in the same rank at all!


    If not for him being three minor realms higher than Ye Yuan, he would have long lost.


    He, would not have been able to receive even one of Ye Yuan��s strikes!


    One had to know, three minor realms of Heavenly Emperor Realm, how big a gap was that?


    Not talking about three, just one, was an insurmountable chasm to ordinary people!


    But Ye Yuan leapfrogged three minor realms and defeated the top genius, Wan Zhen.


    How could they not be shocked by this scene?


    The sword light converged and hovered quietly around Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This formation is called true nirvana!��


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, True Nirvana Sword Formation, a good name! I hope that this set of sword formation can defend the dignity of our human race!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned somber, and he nodded his head seriously and said, ��This Ye will do my best! Brother Ye, our battle ends here. How about it?��


    Clearly, the two of them did not really determine the victor.


    This move earlier, Ye Yuan did defeat Wan Zhen.


    But Wan Zhen was notoriously difficult to deal with. It was not that easy of a matter for Ye Yuan to want to kill Wan Zhen.


    The two of them appreciated each other and naturally were not willing to determine life and death right now. That way, they would miss the legacies.


    ��Haha, it should be that way! If we die now, wouldn��t it become a great tragedy in life?�� Wan Zhen laughed loudly and said.


    At this time, there were still roughly close to half of the powerhouses left inside the cage.


    The death rate also became lower and lower.


    The powerhouses from all areas were mostly in a melee.


    Those weaker ones had basically already been eliminated in one round.


    Those remaining were all powerhouses!


    Seeing Ye Yuan turn around, those powerhouses close to him changed expressions one after another, hurriedly backing away.


    Clearly, they were afraid.


    The commotion caused by the two people��s showdown earlier was seriously too great.


    Even though they examined their own conscience and felt that they were very strong, they were also not strong to such a degree.


    Furthermore, they were extremely apprehensive of the True Nirvana Sword Formation.


    The True Nirvana Sword Formation was strong but strong to what extent, only Wan Zhen who experienced it personally would know.


    How could the rest dare to go and touch Ye Yuan?


    Seeing the others�� cowering appearances, Ye Yuan could not help being speechless.


    Ye Yuan did not like this kind of feeling. Even though he killed these people, they would not truly die.


    He could challenge the strong, but with regards to the weak, as long as they did not come and provoke him, he really could not quite make his move.


    After all, this was also their hope.


    It was the hope of obtaining an inheritance!


    Otherwise, why would they need to fight fervently here?


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��You guys continue. I��ll rest for a while. Uh �� If anyone wants to come and kill me, you are most welcome to come over.��


    Finished talking, he actually sat cross-legged and recovered his vitality on the spot.


    The others exchanged glances and could not help being speechless.


    This guy was posturing too hard, right?


    But did they dare to go up and provoke Ye Yuan?


    They did not dare!

 Chapter 2360 - Tried to Steal a Chicken Only to End up Losing the Rice

    ��I��m Jingnan City��s Tao Hanyi, seeking guidance from Brother Ye��s brilliant moves!��


    Just as everyone was wavering and not advancing, a figure arrived not far in front of Ye Yuan and challenged Ye Yuan.


    He was open and aboveboard and did not suddenly sneak attack.


    He looked very much like an upright gentleman.


    But Yu Tanzhi had a disdainful look as he said, ��This hypocrite still made a move in the end! But it��s good like this as well. We can see this kid��s depths again.��


    Many people who knew Tao Hanyi all had disdainful looks on their faces.


    Making a move at this time was clearly wanting to take advantage of people��s predicament.


    However, under this kind of life-and-death battle, it also did not seem to fail to conform with the rules.


    Either way, this was a battle without any rules. As long as one put the opponent to death, it would do.


    Regardless of whether you sneak attacked, or took advantage of others�� difficulties.


    Ye Yuan opened his eyes, glanced at the other party, and slowly stood up.


    ��Okay, please condescend to teach,�� Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    Tao Hanyi had a well-mannered appearance as he clasped his hands and said with a smile, ��Brother Ye��s sword formation is transcendent, you have to show leniency!��


    But in his heart, he sneered coldly to no end.


    Tao Hanyi thought in his heart, he caused such a huge commotion just now. This kid��s divine essence expenditure must be huge! Dealing with him at this time, the timing is just right! As long as I kill him, I��ll be the genius who towers above Wan Zhen!


    Ye Yuan was taken aback, feeling a little baffled.


    Show leniency?


    Are you joking?


    Right now, this was a life-and-death battle!


    But seeing the other party��s kind appearance, he could only smile and said, ��Life and death are up to fate, each relies on one��s own abilities then!��


    He did not kill Wan Zhen. Firstly, because they appreciated each other. Secondly, killing Wan Zhen needed to expend huge amounts of energy, the losses outweighed the gains.


    But this did not mean that he would also do the same to the others.


    Since he came to challenge, then he would have to be prepared to die.


    Ye Yuan was also considered to have reminded the other party tactfully. But in Tao Hanyi��s eyes, it became sarcasm.


    However, he still maintained his demeanor and said smilingly, ��Haha, that��s okay!��


    A moment ago, he was still talking in a jovial manner.


    The next second, he already dealt a devastating blow!


    Virtually instantly, Tao Hanyi��s tempest-like attack already arrived.


    As Jingnan City��s number one, Tao Hanyi��s strength naturally did not need to be elaborated.


    Hundred Samsara Saber!


    Tao Hanyi��s power of law was the fusion of the law of saber and samsara law, the power tremendous!


    Heavenly Dao samsara, want you to live, you��ll live!


    Want you to die, you��ll die!


    The terrifying saber light instantly engulfed Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s entire person was submerged in the sea of blades.


    Ye Yuan was naturally not some rookie. The True Nirvana Sword Formation was already in operation long ago, the four great power of laws transformed into thousands of light, clashing head-on with Tao Hanyi��s endless blade lights.


    For a moment, saber lights and sword images, laws intertwined.


    The terrifying energy undulation swept across the entire cage in virtually an instant.


    But the more they fought, the more alarmed Tao Hanyi became.


    Although his power of law was not as strong as Wan Zhen��s, among the top geniuses, it was very formidable already as well.


    This guy battled with Wan Zhen and was clearly in a difficult position. So how did he still have such thick divine essence?


    His saber images seemed to have fallen into a quagmire when being inside the True Nirvana Sword Formation, unable to cause any harm to Ye Yuan at all.


    Only at this moment did he deeply understand, how powerful the guy who broke Wan Zhen��s development of myriad Dao was!


    Pang Zhen and the rest had been paying attention to the battle here all this while. Seeing Tao Hanyi gradually losing ground, they could not help being incomparably shocked in their hearts.


    He was sure that when Wan Zhen and Ye Yuan fought just now, they did not hold back at all.


    That battle could be said to be the top level battle in the cage already.


    The consumption of this level of battle could be described using horrifying.


    Pang Zhen naturally would not think that Ye Yuan was not able to fight anymore.


    But he never thought that Ye Yuan��s combat power could actually still maintain so vigorously.


    One had to know, Tao Hanyi was not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry.


    Each city��s first place, each one of them was an extremely powerful genius.


    Although Yu Tanzhi and the rest were very scornful of Tao Hanyi��s behavior, this did not prevent them from acknowledging Tao Hanyi��s talent.


    Prior to this, he did not experience any great battle either.


    But now, he wanted to take advantage of Ye Yuan��s battle and let himself fall into passiveness instead.


    Very soon, his saber lights were suppressed to the extreme by Ye Yuan.


    From his limitless suppression in the beginning, to the current feebleness and dead luster, it did not last too long.


    Life and death were already just on the line!


    The shock in Tao Hanyi��s heart grew greater and greater, and he shouted loudly, ��Brother Ye has excellent means. This Tao admits defeat! Brother Ye, please show mercy!��


    But Ye Yuan did not buy it in the slightest and said coolly, ��Sorry. In a life-and-death battle, whence the mercy? Moreover, the moment your esteemed self made your move, it was already a life-and-death showdown. Now, pleading for me to show leniency, don��t you find it too late?��


    Ye Yuan was also not a fool.


    Could sparring and wanting your life be the same?


    This guy had that pose of risking his life the moment he came up. He clearly wanted his life.


    Ye Yuan��s thoughts were meticulous. How could he not tell that this guy came to take advantage of others�� difficulties?


    He thought that he had just experienced a great battle and felt that he was easy to bully.


    Heh heh, how could there be such a bargain?


    Tao Hanyi yelled out, ��Brother Ye, this Tao is ����


    How could Ye Yuan listen to him talk nonsense? Urging the True Nirvana Sword Formation, he directly annihilated this guy.


    ��Turns out that this is Ye Yuan��s true combat strength!��


    ��His divine essence is too thick. After going through that kind of great battle, he actually still had such terrifying strength!��


    ��I know Tao Hanyi, even though he isn��t as strong as Wan Zhen, for Wan Zhen to want to beat him, it absolutely won��t be so effortless either. Ye Yuan is really too strong!��


    ��I finally understand how he surpassed Wan Zhen in ten years. With thick divine essence like his, coupled with his sword formation, it��s simply a killing machine!��


    �� ��


    There was a shock in Cloudaid City. Only after experienced this great battle, did they finally fully believed that Ye Yuan relied on his own strength to surpass Wan Zhen.


    He, this number one person, was fully deserving!


    And this battle also truly shocked all of the geniuses in the cage.


    Now, who still dared to be blind and come forward and attempt to take advantage?


    Even the likes of Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhi also did not dare to easily step forward.


    They were confident that they would not lose to Ye Yuan, but what if they lost?


    Their objective was the final supreme inheritance, and it was not to show off momentary bravery.


    Therefore, everyone chose to ignore Ye Yuan with a very tacit understanding.


    This time, Ye Yuan was really able to recover his vitality with peace of mind.


    Along with the passing of time, the battle situation inside the cage also became fiercer and fiercer.


    The numbers continuously decreased. From 500 to 400, then to 100.


    Finally, there were only several dozen people left!


    These remaining several dozen people were all the top-notch group of geniuses. Each person��s strength was extremely powerful.


    Of course, of the people remaining, the vast majority were all people who ranked first place in their respective cities.


    However, there were also upsets.


    Some people were ambushed by someone, and then they died due to fatigue.


    But of those who remained, there were clearly none who were weak.

 Chapter 2361 - Alright

    All of a sudden, it became quiet inside the cage.


    People suddenly discovered that the huge cage was only left with a few people.


    Counting carefully, there were only 19 people left within the cage.


    These 19 people were without a doubt the strongest 19 people!


    Among them, many fought one-versus-many, then slew their opponents.


    Inside the cage where the strong gathered, it could be seen how strong their strength was.


    And just earlier, the last battle ended. Everyone tacitly stopped taking any more action.


    A great battle until now, their consumption was huge too.


    Making a move in this state was not secure.


    They needed to compete for the throne of first place under their strongest state.


    Pang Zhen��s gaze swept across everyone and said in a solemn voice, ��Those who remain are all old acquaintances already! Half a day of rest! After half a day, regardless of to what degree you recover, it will be the final battle! Wonder if everyone has any objections?��


    Everyone nodded their heads one after another. Clearly, they agreed with this suggestion very much.


    ��I have an objection!�� Yu Tanzhi suddenly said.


    Pang Zhen��s brows furrowed and he said, ��What objection do you have?��


    But Yu Tanzhi looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and said smilingly, ��Somebody rested three whole days more than us, how to calculate this?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone looked in Ye Yuan��s direction, each and every one revealing very wary looks.


    Clearly, this person was referring to Ye Yuan.


    Even Wan Zhen also had many powerhouses who went to provoke him.


    But Ye Yuan did not have a single one!


    Half a day��s time, it was impossible to recover to their peak state.


    How much they could recover would depend on their own ability.


    However, Ye Yuan already had not taken action for a full three days!


    The current Ye Yuan had swept away the decadence after fighting with Wan Zhen, his entire person in great form. Clearly, his state had already reached its peak.


    Ye Yuan was troublesome in the first place, now, he was also in better shape than them.


    How to resolve?


    Pang Zhen��s brows furrowed even harder. He really overlooked this problem.


    ��Kid, you explain it yourself. What should be done?�� Pang Zhen looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he suddenly became the public target of scorn.


    Hearing Pang Zhen��s question, he just spread his hands out and said smilingly, ��Anything goes for me. It��s up to you guys.��


    He really did not care. Moreover, this sentence clearly already had the intention of targeting him.


    After all, if they really wanted to put forward a complaint, they could have everyone all rest well, then get to fighting again.


    But Yu Tanzhi very clearly pointed all of the spearheads at him.


    Ye Yuan��s indifferent attitude made Pang Zhen very displeased.


    It was like they all, these so-called proud children of heaven, did not exist in Ye Yuan��s eyes at all.


    That appearance was like he was saying, do as you all see fit, either way, you all will lose in the end.


    Sure enough, seeing Ye Yuan��s attitude, these proud children of heaven all furrowed their brows, feeling like they were being underestimated.


    ��Heh heh, I have an idea, why don��t everyone attack together first and finish him off. The rest will be easier,�� Yu Tanzhi said with a laugh.


    An unpredictable child said with a smile, ��Oh? This is a good idea!��


    Although they all were disdainful to team up with the others, to be honest, they were really quite fearful of Ye Yuan.


    A guy who defeated even Wan Zhen, how could they not dread?


    Of course, they still had a small thought, that was to force Ye Yuan to withdraw.


    Weren��t you very cocky?


    Didn��t you leave it up to us?


    Then, we��ll take care of you!


    Even though each and every one of them was currently not in their peak state, the strongest dozen over unpredictable children joining forces, what kind of horrifying line-up was that?


    Here, no one dared to face so many people at the same time!


    Even if they were at their peak state.


    ��Huhu, kid, since you said that anything goes for you, then we shall do so, what do you think?�� Pang Zhen also had a mocking look as he said with a smile.


    Others looked at him, all having fear and respect in their eyes.


    Even these unpredictable children were fearful of his identity too.


    But Ye Yuan was not!


    He could not see the slightest trace of awe from Ye Yuan��s eyes!


    That was not just showing contempt for him. It was looking down on his ancestor, Ancestor Lightning!


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan grinned and lightly spat a word out, ��Alright.��


    He knew that these people were all afraid of him, but so what!


    All the heaven��s chosen were stunned when they heard it. It was as if they could not quite believe their own ears.


    Alright?


    Was this guy stupid?


    He was going to challenge the strongest 18 people by himself?


    Even Yu Tanzhi was also dumbstruck with shock by Ye Yuan��s answer.


    Even though he had this intention, deliberately leading everyone in this direction.


    But for Ye Yuan to actually fall for it so easily, he was still very surprised.


    At this moment, the entire Primeval War Realm was in a stir!


    ��What did he say? Did I hear wrong!��


    ��No, you didn��t hear wrongly! He said, alright!��


    ��Haha, awesome, domineering! It��s just, does he have this strength? Those are the strongest 18 people!��


    �� ��


    Everyone seemed to have heard a hilarious joke, all jeering at Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability.


    They thought about ten thousand possibilities of the final great battle, but only never thought of this.


    One person, challenging 18 people!


    Among these 18 people, there were at least no fewer than five whose strength was not inferior to Wan Zhen��s, even surpassing by a thread. While the rest was also merely marginally weaker than Wan Zhen.


    These 18 people joining forces was roughly equivalent to 18 people similar to Wan Zhen��s power teaming up.


    Too terrifying!


    ��Younger Brother Ye, don��t act based on emotions!�� Wan Zhen also said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan gave him a comforting look and said with a smile, ��Relax, Brother Wan. It will be fine.��


    Wan Zhen was rendered speechless.


    This kid was really stubborn!


    Even if he backed out, there were still 17 people.


    Forget about facing 17 people, even facing the teaming up of Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhi, he was absolutely not a match either.


    But Ye Yuan was going to challenge 17 people, this was too crazy!


    ��Hahaha �� Good, very good! Ever since I first made my appearance in the world, I��ve never been underestimated so much before! Forget it. I��ll witness today how confident you are, to dare say such conceited words! Kid, hope that you don��t let me down too much!�� Pang Zhen laughed from extreme fury.


    Ye Yuan did not know Pang Zhen. Although he was surprised by his lightning source, he did not know that he was Ancestor Lightning��s successor.


    However, even if he knew, he would not care either.


    Hearing that, he just nodded his head indifferently and said, ��Mn, shouldn��t disappoint you.��


    Pang Zhen��s gaze was gloomy, having a look of fury on his face.


    Ye Yuan��s attitude was a form of humiliation in his view.


    The successor of a Dao Ancestor, what kind of venerated status was that?


    This guy was actually so condescending!


    ��Huhu, good! Since that��s the case, everyone attacks together then!�� Pang Zhen said with a cold smile.


    ��Wait!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Pang Zhen smiled coldly and said, ��What? Scared? It��s too late!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t misunderstand me. It��s impossible for you guys to win me like this! You all recuperate first, it isn��t too late to attack again after recovering your strength.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Was this kid stupid?


    He actually took the initiative to want Pang Zhen they all to rest up!

 Chapter 2362 - The Strongest 17 People!

    ��Rest! He actually took the initiative to have Pang Zhen and the others rest up!��


    ��Did this kid knock his head silly when fighting Wan Zhen previously?��


    ��What time is it, is he still talking about whatever broadmindedness?��


    �� ��


    Everyone exploded. They were completely unable to understand Ye Yuan��s way of doing things.


    At this kind of moment when the smallest details had to be argued over, this guy became generous and took the initiative to let the others rest up.


    Even Pang Zhen, Yu Tanzhi, and the rest were taken aback too, only coming back to their senses after a while.


    They all, these people, were proud by nature, when had they been underestimated like this by someone before?


    ��Boy, are you sure?�� Yu Tanzhi said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��To me, one person or a dozen over people, it��s all the same. Hence, you guys had better recover your strength first. Otherwise, this fight will be boring.��


    Done talking, he sat down cross-legged and continued resting.


    The 18 geniuses exchanged glances, all having a feeling of being looked down on.


    They were actually being underestimated by someone!


    ��Very good, I want to take a look today, just how strong this punk is!��


    Pang Zhen sneered coldly and immediately started to adjust his breathing.


    Waves of loud laughter came from above the void.


    ��This kid is really overbearing! He��s actually challenging 18 people alone. This breadth of spirit, even this old man can��t compare to his spirit! Lightning, you said that he couldn��t even enter the God of War Golden List. How about now?�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said with a big laugh.


    All of the big shots including Ancestor Lightning, each and every one of their faces were very ugly.


    In these past ten years in the outside world, they had been mocking Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets all the way, saying that the person he chose could not even enter the God of War Golden List.


    But who could have expected that at the final juncture, Ye Yuan actually came roaring into being, rising all the way until he charged to first place?


    In the caged battle, Ye Yuan even shocked the world with two battles, scaring the group of geniuses to not dare to make a move against him.


    In the final battle, he even challenged 18 of the strongest geniuses proudly on his own.


    This unexpected way of doing things not only shocked the geniuses in the Primeval War Realm, it similarly shocked the progenitors who were spying.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was also stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.


    Ancestor Lightning had a sullen look as he said, ��What are you showing off for? Fighting one-versus-18, do you think that he can win?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��So what even if he loses? A genuine major power needs to be capable of doing what others can��t, and what others don��t dare to do! Not crushing geniuses of the same generation, how will one corroborate their Dao? In this epoch, didn��t only the few of us old fellows emerge? Moreover, this kid dares to be so arrogant. How do you know that he doesn��t have any reliance?��


    The others were immediately rendered speechless.


    What Profound Secrets said was right. They all, these ancestors who corroborated their Dao, which one did not crush geniuses in their same generation, before they had today?


    But, even back then, they also did not dare to say that they would fight one-versus-18!


    A progenitor said with a cold snort, ��Profound Secrets, don��t you get cocky too early! Even if he has something to rely on, it��s also absolutely impossible to win! Be careful that your face gets slapped when the time comes!��


    Profound Secrets�� gaze swept across everyone��s faces, shaking his head, and could not help laughing as he said, ��Your eyesight are too narrow! When all races are facing danger, there will be a hero who rises to the sky! The stronger Ye Yuan is, the more hope the human race has! At this time, you all are still playing your little schemes. Why is there such a need?��


    Everyone was speechless. Profound Secrets�� words made sense, but people were all selfish. Who could truly be selfless?


    �� ��


    Three days passed in a flash. What these top geniuses cultivated were all the top-notch cultivation methods. Recovery was also very fast.


    At this time, the 18 people have all reached their peak states already.


    With power in hand, it was as if strong self-confidence returned to them.


    Pang Zhen looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile on his face, ��Kid, confidence is a good thing! But you��ll discover very soon that yours isn��t called confidence, but it is called conceit!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Is that so? Then hope that you can prove it to me.��


    Pang Zhen��s face turned black, this punk��s smile was so annoying!


    But Yu Tanzhi suddenly said, ��Wan Zhen, which side are you prepared to stand on?��


    Wan Zhen said coolly, ��I choose to withdraw!��


    Yu Tanzhi sneered and said, ��Withdraw? Heh, what a nice plan you have! If we really fought until both sides sustained heavy injuries, wouldn��t you reap the spoils of victory without lifting a finger?��


    But Wan Zhen said, ��Actually, I want to help Younger Brother Ye, but he definitely doesn��t want me to intervene. Therefore, I can only withdraw. Of course, if you guys feel uneasy, you can also divert a few to come and deal with me!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, this Wan Zhen was a sensible person.


    Yu Tanzhi��s gaze also turned dark and he said, ��Since that��s the case, gentleman, after we kill this punk, we��ll join forces again to kill Wan Zhen!��


    Everyone nodded their heads. Clearly, everyone did not have objections.


    Suddenly, a series of powerful to the extreme source power of law lit up inside the cage.


    Before even making a move, that powerful aura already passed through the cage and engulfed the entire Primeval War Realm.


    This was the power of 17 people joining forces!


    Just feeling this aura made people feel asphyxiated.


    With 17 people, several dozen kinds of source power could be seen.


    Some had an overwhelming momentum, some had a majestic air, some were illusory!


    Each person��s characteristic was different, each person��s forte was different.


    These 17 people joining forces could be said to be without any weaknesses to exploit.


    ��So strong! Really so strong! If I were to stand there, probably before even waiting for them to make a move, I��d have directly been crushed into minced meat.��


    ��Forget about you, if Wan Zhen was standing in the middle, he would likely have already collapsed as well!��


    ��I really don��t know how Ye Yuan thinks. Can such an opponent be what one person can deal with?��


    �� ��


    Wan Zhen felt this terrifying power, his complexion turning pale too.


    It was a one-on-one battle previously. But now these auras were all aimed at a single person.


    But now, everyone was targeting Ye Yuan alone at the same time, the feeling was completely different.


    The superimposition of 17 powers was akin to 17 big mountains, it was truly incomparably heavy.


    Above the void, Ye Yuan was surrounded tightly in the middle by 17 people.


    Around him, a series of sword lights glimmered and faded indeterminately, the sword formation operating on its own, no joy nor sorrow on his face.


    To him, this was similarly a huge challenge.


    After all, these opponents were not some Tom, Dick, or Harry, but the Heavenspan World��s top geniuses!


    Especially Pang Zhen, the power of lightning on his body seemed to represent the heavenly punishment of Heavenly Dao; unbelievably terrifying.


    ��Kill!��


    It was only to hear Pang Zhen roar angrily. His entire person already turned into a bolt of lightning, smiting toward Ye Yuan.


    In an instant, a sea of lightning completely surrounded Ye Yuan.


    That horrifying power of lightning virtually wanted to destroy the world!


    Ancestor Lightning represented the power of heaven��s punishment in the first place.


    Pang Zhen obtained his true inheritance, how horrifying his strength was could be imagined!


    At the same time, the other 16 people made a move at the same time.


    One horrifying to the extreme energy undulation after another smashed toward that lightning sea, the place where Ye Yuan was standing at.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan was drowned by the brightly colored energy fluctuations.


    People only saw that the place Ye Yuan stood practically already became a black hole.


    The horrifying attack turned that side into a vacuum zone.

 Chapter 2363 - Rank Two Sword Source!

    ��The combined attack of 17 peak unpredictable children, it��s too terrifying!��


    ��That kid is probably already blown into flying ashes, right?��


    ��To think that he still bragged, saying to challenge one-versus-17. Now, his face is slapped swollen, right?��


    �� ��


    Feeling the horrifying undulations coming from inside the cage, the million unpredictable children were all shocked.


    This kind of horrifying power, dealing with one person at the same time, even if he was a bastion of iron, he would also have to be blasted to smithereens.


    Before taking action, the aura already billowed to the clouds.


    Attacking at this time, that was truly startling heaven and earth and making gods and ghosts wept.


    The 17 children displayed their strength to the fullest expression of its beauty and form.


    They had the intention of embarrassing Ye Yuan and naturally did not show the least bit of mercy.


    An unpredictable child said with a big laugh, ��Hahaha, really awesome! Who asked you to be arrogant! See if you still don��t die!��


    Even for them, this was also similarly the first time joining forces to deal with one person.


    They did not imagine that 17 people joining forces could actually erupt with such terrifying power.


    That torrential and grandiose scene made their blood seethe with excitement too.


    At this time, they felt like they could smash the sky!


    That pleasant sensation of being filled with power made them feel intoxicated.


    Pang Zhen sneered and said, ��A fool who overestimated his own ability! You don��t know how terrifying our power is at all! You are merely a pitiful frog at the bottom of a well; that��s all!��


    Yu Tanzhi burst out laughing and said, ��Haha, Brother Pang is right! This kid is merely a frog at the bottom of a well!��


    After a bout of wanton bombardment, everyone also felt rather drained, only then, each pulling back their cultivation method.


    But that region of space was still being blanketed by all kinds of violent energies.


    As if everything was being annihilated.


    That place was already a dead place. It was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to survive.


    ��Alright, finished off this punk! Now, it��s your turn, Wan Zhen!�� Pang Zhen said with a cold smile.


    Wan Zhen was also dumbfounded with shock by the scene before his eyes. Under such an intense attack, even if he comprehended five great sources, it was also impossible to survive.


    Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    At this time, inside Cloudaid City, Zhang Lian suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��If Ye Yuan died, he should be revived here! Has he come back?��


    A word woke up the dreamer!


    In the city, tens of thousands of people looked around.


    ��Nope!��


    ��Didn��t see!��


    ��There doesn��t seem to be Ye Yuan!��


    ��Could it be that �� he didn��t die? How is that possible?��


    �� ��


    Everyone was extremely shocked, discovering that Ye Yuan did not appear in Cloudaid City.


    They did not dare to believe that under such a horrifying attack, Ye Yuan was actually still not dead.


    ��All in such a hurry for what? The fighting��s not over at my side yet!�� A leisurely voice came out from the vacuum zone over there.


    At the same time, the faces of the million unpredictable children changed at the same time.


    ��Impossible! Like this and he��s not even dead?��


    ��It��s too ridiculous, right? That area of space is already shattered!��


    ��How did this guy do it?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s figure gradually appeared, and the faces of each and every one of the 17 children all became incomparably ugly.


    At this time, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body was somewhat disorderly.


    But, he did not receive a fatal blow!


    Pang Zhen��s pupils constricted and he said in shock, ��This is impossible! You �� You��re actually not dead yet!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Nothing is impossible! I said it, there��s no difference dealing with one of you or 17 people. Since you all have already tested the waters, then now �� it��s my turn!��


    As Ye Yuan said it casually, his fingers lifted lightly and he said, ��Sword, come!��


    As if hearing Ye Yuan��s summon, a mysterious power of law reverberated between heaven and earth.


    Buzzing ��


    ��This �� My sword!��


    ��What��s going on here? My sword isn��t listening to orders anymore!��


    ��Where do you think you��re running! Stay with me! Ahh!��


    �� ��


    Countless sword cries sounded out. Of the one million unpredictable children, as long as it was someone who used the sword, the swords on them all lost control at this moment, breaking free!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    �� ��


    Countless streams of flowing light tore across the horizon, flying into the cage.


    The cage was an independent space, it could be said to be a realm within a realm of the Primeval War Realm.


    But at this moment, it was as if the barrier of the cage did not exist, allowing those flying swords to pass through freely.


    The sword was the leader of a hundred weapons, there were many swordsmen to begin with.


    The swords flying over at this time numbered in the hundreds of thousands.


    When the 17 children saw such a scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    This turn of events was too ruthless, right?


    ��Rank two Sword Source! He gained enlightenment on it!�� Pang Zhen��s expression became incomparably solemn.


    Yu Tanzhi��s mouth opened wide and he said in shock, ��Prior to this, he was clearly still rank one! Was it him who concealed his strength, or did he break through just now?��


    Pang Zhen��s expression flickered incessantly and he said, ��Must have broken through just now! If he concealed his strength, he didn��t have the need to forcefully resist our attacks!��


    Yu Tanzhi stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, and said, ��This talent is also too terrifying, right? Gaining enlightenment on Dao at the last moment, furthermore �� it��s even the power of source!��


    The so-called power of source was actually to borrow a portion of the power of rules!


    Above the laws were rules!


    When a certain Dao was comprehended, after reaching a certain realm, they would faintly produce a hint of understanding of the power of rules, called the power of source!


    This process was divided into five levels, corresponding respectively to the Deva Five Blights!


    Rules were the foundation that made up the world. They were the source of all power of laws!


    But, even these unpredictable children with outstanding talents, also mostly stopped at the level of rank one in the comprehension of power of source.


    Those able to reach rank two were in the minority!


    Among the unpredictable children present, only Pang Zhen��s lightning law reached the level of rank two source.


    This was also why he could rely on one law to forcefully resist other geniuses.


    Presently, Ye Yuan also reached this level in Sword Dao!


    Just now, under the frenzied bombardment of the 17 children, Ye Yuan urged the True Nirvana Sword Formation to the limit.


    Two great sources coupled with laws of time and space pushed him to the limit.


    Under this state, it was the easiest for Ye Yuan to break through!


    And this was the fundamental reason why he challenged the 17 children.


    Only by pushing himself to the limit could he make progress!


    Clearly, he succeeded!


    Sword Dao law was all-conquering and the sharpest. In terms of power, it was even above lightning law.


    It was just that, those able to comprehend Sword Dao to this level were very few.


    Sword Dao was easy to learn, but it was hard to master!


    Therefore, there were many who cultivated Sword Dao law to law but comprehending Sword Dao source was extremely rare.


    All along, what Ye Yuan was most proficient in, apart from Alchemy Dao, was Sword Dao.


    Even spatial law was only comprehended by drawing parallels from inference after he cultivated Sword Dao to the extreme.


    This time, under the powerful pressure, he broke through once again!


    Comprehending rank two sword source, as long as one��s comprehension of laws was not as good as his, they would not be able to control their swords.


    Therefore, those unpredictable children who used the sword, their swords all flew toward Ye Yuan, for Ye Yuan��s use!


    From today onward, they would not be able to even draw their swords in front of Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2364 - Super Large-Scale True Nirvana Sword Formation!

    Inside the cage, there were sword images covering the sky.


    Waves of Sword Dao source aura made the expressions of the 17 children become extremely solemn.


    Just this line-up made people almost want to collapse.


    Suddenly, Yu Tanzhi smiled strangely and said, ��Huhu, summoning so many swords out, bluffing people? Rank two sword source is very scary! But �� your Sword Dao law advanced, will it break the balance of the sword formation?��


    The moment these words came out, the eyes of Pang Zhen and the rest lit up!


    Definitely, with so many swords, the balance of Ye Yuan��s True Nirvana Sword Formation would surely be broken.


    Just like Wan Zhen��s Five Element Laws, once there was one kind that broke through, it would affect the balance of the entire five elements, and the power would be much lower than before instead.


    With Ye Yuan summoning so many words, it looked intimidating, but actually, the power might not be stronger than before.


    Without the augmentation of the sword formation, could Ye Yuan still deal with 17 people?


    One had to know, it was not that there were none who reached rank two source among the 17 children. Pang Zhen reached rank two lightning source!


    Just relying on a Sword Dao that did not have structure, it was impossible to win all of the 17 children.


    ��Hahaha, almost got hoodwinked by you, this punk! Isn��t it just second firmament sword source? My lightning source won��t lose to you either! Let alone that there are still so many people!�� Pang Zhen said with a big laugh.


    ��It��s still Yu Tanzhi who is impressive, seeing through this kid at a glance.�� The others could not help but exclaim.


    They were really intimidated by Ye Yuan��s formation momentum earlier, scared out of their wits.


    These flying swords that covered the sky were seriously frightening.


    Now, hearing Yu Tanzhi��s reminder, only then did everyone suddenly realize that this guy was merely a paper tiger!


    Pang Zhen��s mind also shook, and he said in a clear voice, ��Don��t get bluffed by this kid! Everyone, bring out your true ability! This time, we must annihilate this punk!��


    As he said, he reached his hand out. a lightning source aura that was not inferior to Ye Yuan��s surged once more.


    Electric snakes danced wildly, spreading inside the entire cage.


    In terms of momentum, it was actually not the least bit inferior to Ye Yuan!


    This time, the power of lightning source was even stronger than before.


    Only then did everyone come to realize the truth, turns out that this guy still had a card up his sleeves.


    However, who did not hold back some skills?


    How could they, these people, really exert their best effort, and not leave any room for maneuver for themselves?


    There was an even more horrifying great battle later!


    However, Ye Yuan��s heaven-defying talent made these unpredictable children finally become serious too.


    ��Eternal Damnation!��


    ��True Martial Heavenly Blade!��


    ��Eight Desolates True Saint Spear!��


    �� ��


    One terrifying power of source after another superimposed together, and actually completely overshadowed Ye Yuan��s limelight all at once.


    This time, the 17 children were really going all out.


    Inside the cage, terrifying pressure spread everywhere. They were several times more terrifying than before!


    ��It��s over this time! It��s really over! In the end, he isn��t the 17 children��s match either!��


    ��What a shame! However, even though Ye Yuan died a glorious death, he indeed has the capital to challenge 17 children!��


    ��Too self-damning! If not for provoking 17 children, he could have definitely entered the top ten. Now, it��s good. He can��t even enter the top ten now.��


    �� ��


    A wave of lamenting came from the various major cities.


    Ye Yuan��s heaven-defying talent indeed made everyone sigh with amazement.


    It was just that sadly, he did not know life from death, choosing to deal with 17 people with his power alone.


    While at this time, the Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly smiled brightly and said, ��Are you all misunderstanding something? When did I say that I only broke through in Sword Dao?��


    One sentence made the faces of the unpredictable children who were currently casting spells change wildly.


    Only to see Ye Yuan slowly raise both hands, nonchalantly saying, ��Formation, arise!��


    All of a sudden, the originally disorderly and unsystematic flying swords became orderly and traceable.


    Formation Dao source, rank two!


    With this, the million unpredictable children in the Primeval War Realm exploded once more.


    ��Mad! Really insane! Sword Dao and Formation Dao both breaking through, is he still a human?��


    ��Monster! Freak! Brute! How can there be such a person in this world? How to make us live if it is like this?��


    ��The power of source, the further up, the harder it is to comprehend. He actually comprehended two great source laws at the same time, I �� I might as well find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with!��


    �� ��


    Envy, jealousy, hatred!


    All kinds of emotions spread among the million unpredictable children.


    Who were they?


    They were all one-in-a-million peerless geniuses, prodigious martial artists that everyone admired.


    But, they all, these so-called geniuses, were simply worthless in front of Ye Yuan!


    Nothing at all!


    You were talented, but could you be like him, comprehending the power of source like drinking and eating?


    You were gifted, but could you be like him, contending against 17 children with the cultivation realm of Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor?


    They could not!


    This kind of person simply made people despair.


    Above the void, the group of progenitors was shocked!


    ��How can this kid be so monstrous?��


    ��Sword Dao law and Formation Dao law are both powerful laws second only to supreme laws! Being able to comprehend a single rank two source is already extremely hard to come by. He actually broke through both at the same time!��


    ��Too frightening! Could it be that he��s really going to challenge 17 people by himself?��


    �� ��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets laughed loudly without ceasing and said, ��Haha, this boy always surprises people! Lightning, now, do you still feel that Pang Zhen can get first place?��


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression became extremely ugly.


    Ye Yuan��s talent greatly exceeded his imagination.


    Seen before freaks, never seen before such a freakish one.


    Facing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� mockery, he could only choose to keep quiet.


    But he secretly prayed in his heart, praying that Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao and Formation Dao were incompatible.


    That way, there was still a glimmer of hope for the 17 children!


    Of course, if they were compatible ��


    As if specifically in order to slap faces, right at this time, Ye Yuan��s super large-scale True Nirvana Sword Formation, formed!


    ��Come on. Let me see if the 17 of you guys are as formidable as the legends say!�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    He just broke through recently. His entire person��s essence, energy, and spirit were all at their peak states, his confidence overflowing.


    Although his opponents brought out their strongest strength this time, he was not the least bit afraid.


    Pang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, ��Everyone, attack together! Don��t give him any chances!��


    The group of unpredictable children also knew that it was impossible to hold back anymore. Each and every one of them pushed their momentum to the maximum.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Inside the cage, heaven-shaking-like explosion sounds emitted.


    That horrifying pressure was practically about to break the cage.


    But, amidst the endless laws, only to see countless flying swords shuttling back and forth indeterminately.


    That defense was even more secure than the cage!


    The entire realm was shocked!


    At this moment, they truly witnessed what was called impregnable!


    With 17 children attacking in full force, how astonishing was the momentum?


    But Ye Yuan just stood proudly. No matter how the storm raged violently outside, he stood unmoving!


    Rank two sword source coupled with rank two Formation Dao source, plus spacetime law, this set of super large-scale sword formation was simply an impregnable fortress.


    Furthermore, the over 100 thousand swords that Ye Yuan summoned were all heavenly emperor spirit treasures!


    This kind of power was simply unimaginable.

 Chapter 2365 - Got Character, I Like!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Countless sword lights shuttled through the void, blocking all of the attacks one by one.


    However, this was merely just the beginning!


    Ye Yuan started fighting back!


    Swift and fierce sword energies were teeming everywhere in the entire cage.


    Sword energy roamed unobstructed!


    Under the augmentation of rank two Formation Dao source, the power of each sword was unimaginably strong.


    Even the 17 children did not dare to easily clash head-on too.


    Ye Yuan guarded against everyone��s attacks and started to slowly expand the sword formation outwards.


    His expansion was neither too fast nor too slow, each step was taken extremely solidly.


    ��Can��t get wrapped into the sword formation by him! Otherwise, we��re all finished!�� Pang Zhen roared wildly.


    An unpredictable child said gloomily, ��I know! But I can��t hold on anymore!��


    They fought desperately, unleashing all of their hidden trump cards.


    But they were still unable to stop the footsteps of Ye Yuan��s expansion.


    Gradually, over 100 thousand swords completely occupied the entire cage, enveloping everything into the sword formation.


    Upon entering the sword formation, the pressure on the 17 children increased sharply. They needed to defend against those illusory sword lights at any time.


    A sword formation was a world!


    Ye Yuan was the absolute the master of this place!


    From the passive defending in the beginning, to taking the initiative to attack now, Ye Yuan already gradually eroded the other side��s advantage.


    Now, the killing was about to begin!


    Getting trapped in the True Nirvana Sword Formation, the unpredictable children were each isolated from one another and were unable to organize powerful attacks anymore.


    Now, they could only defend passively!


    Puchi!


    Suddenly, countless sword lights pierced through an unpredictable child��s body. He was directly pierced into a sieve.


    The first unpredictable child fell!


    With the first, there was soon a second, third, and fourth.


    The 17 children were decreasing one by one.


    While the sense of fear was also gradually increasing.


    The oppression that Ye Yuan brought on him was too strong!


    This sword formation simply had no weakness to exploit!


    Very soon, Ye Yuan placed most of his efforts on Yu Tanzhi.


    Yu Tanzhi��s strength was very strong; almost equal to Wan Zhen.


    But this guy deliberately drew aggro for him earlier, wanting to have everyone join hands to get rid of him.


    This grudge, Ye Yuan would not forget it.


    Since you wanted to make a move against me, then suffer the consequences of not getting into the top ten!


    Suddenly, Yu Tanzhi felt the pressure increase sharply. How could he not understand what was going on?


    Ye Yuan was intentionally targeting him!


    Ye Yuan would rather let the others eke out a meager existence for a period of time than to give him the chance to enter the top ten!


    Being targeted by Ye Yuan, Yu Tanzhi only felt a pressure that could topple mountains and overturn the seas coming at him head-on.


    He urged his own power of laws to the extreme, unleashing all of his means. But his domain was still being eaten up bit by bit.


    At this rate, he would undoubtedly die!


    ��Ye Yuan, this young noble acknowledges your strength! I don��t ask for anything else, just to be able to enter the top 11!�� Yu Tanzhi said in a clear voice1.


    Him saying these words was equivalent to yielding.


    One million unpredictable children all sighed, the proud to the extreme Yu Tanzhi, actually opened his mouth to beg for mercy!


    If it were before, they would not dare to imagine it at all.


    Of course, they were also unable to imagine that Yu Tanzhi was actually unable to even enter the top 11.


    What these final 19 people were fighting for, was the number one��s supreme inheritance!


    In the end, Ye Yuan did not even give him the opportunity for the ten top inheritances!


    Ye Yuan just smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��Does my strength need you to acknowledge? Also, are you stupid? My goal is to prevent you from entering the top 11. Such an obvious thing, can��t you tell? Just like you inciting everybody to surround and besiege me together.��


    Yu Tanzhi wanted to vomit blood when he heard that, he did not expect that this guy actually showed such little regard for his face.


    Could it be that he did not know who he was?


    ��Ye Yuan, don��t be too ruthless and we can meet on good terms in the future! This young noble is the descendant of the Fifth Blight powerhouse, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit! Give this young noble face, and I��ll remember your favor!�� Yu Tanzhi said.


    Maybe Ye Yuan did not know who Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit was, but he should know what a Deva Fifth Blight powerhouse signified.


    He believed that Ye Yuan knew how to choose.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan laughed mockingly and said, ��No need. I don��t need this favor of yours! You can go and die already!��


    Suddenly, ten thousand swords were unleashed together. Yu Tanzhi only had time to scream tragically and then he died.


    In the end, he stopped at 13th place and was unfated with the ten major inheritances.


    ��This punk did it on purpose! This punk must have done it on purpose!��


    At the outside world, Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    That look, he wished to skin Ye Yuan alive and swallow him whole.


    Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit was a demon race��s top major power, a Deva Fifth Blight sovereign powerhouse. He naturally had the qualification to be here.


    However, he never thought that after Yu Tanzhi brought out his identity, but Ye Yuan actually showed such disregard for his face!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit a glance, wanting to laugh, but he forcefully endured it.


    Laughing at this time was too unfair.


    But he also secretly admired it. Ye Yuan this boy was really too impressive, to actually not even give face to a Fifth Blight powerhouse.


    Suddenly, his thoughts stirred and he looked into the cage in astonishment.


    This boy wouldn��t be wanting to kill Pang Zhen, right? Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said in shock in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was lawless and unbridled to this kind of extent, to even dare to kill a Dao Ancestor��s descendant.


    He could not resist looking toward Ancestor Lightning and discovered that Ancestor Lightning��s expression became darker and darker. A strong killing intent already spread out.


    Sure enough, inside the cage, Ye Yuan mobilized the majority of his power and swept over toward Pang Zhen.


    Very clearly, he did not want to let Pang Zhen enter the top 11 too!


    These two people taunted the most enthusiastically, so Ye Yuan intentionally killed them at 13th and 12th place, making them depressed to death.


    In the sword formation, Pang Zhen��s expression was ashen, he could not quite hold out anymore.


    His lightning source��s offensive power was strong, but Ye Yuan��s two great sources were stronger.


    His attacks could not breach the sword formation��s defenses at all.


    With this, the entire Primeval War Realm was shocked!


    ��He wants to kill Pang Zhen! Is �� Is he crazy?��


    ��Pang Zhen is Ancestor Lightning��s descendant! Disregarding that he��s strong, even if his strength was lacking, nobody dares to not let him enter the top 11 too! Ye Yuan this guy is really too impressive!��


    ��Hahaha, got character, I like! I really want to see how Ye Yuan is going to face Ancestor Lightning after going out of the Primeval War Realm!��


    �� ��


    At this very moment, the million unpredictable children were all seething with excitement.


    This moment was even more explosive than Ye Yuan obtaining the first place.


    Originally, any one of these unpredictable children getting the first place was very normal.


    Pang Zhen was fine, Wan Zhen was also fine, or even Yu Tanzhi, no one would say anything.


    But, Ye Yuan was actually going to exclude Pang Zhen out of the ten major inheritances!


    12th place was essentially the same as 1000th place!


    He gained enlightenment on Dao in the Primeval War Realm for a thousand years. In the end, not even getting the ten great inheritances, it was simply a joke!


    Everyone admired Ye Yuan��s courage. This scene was too shocking.


    ��Young Friend Ye, this ancestor is Dao Ancestor Lightning! Can you give this ancestor face and let Pang Zhen enter the top 11!?��


    Right then, an explosive-like voice came from above the void, reverberating throughout the entire Primeval War Realm.


    Dao Ancestor Lightning, finally could not resist speaking up!

 Chapter 2366 - Ancestor Lightning’s Promise!

    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets gave Ancestor Lightning a deep look but did not stop him.


    A Dao Ancestor is this world��s apex existence. Even the divine race powerhouses did not dare to easily take action.


    He had this qualification.


    Although speaking up at this time, his manner of eating was a little ugly.


    But who dared to comment about him?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets would still give him this bit of face, as long as he did not interfere with the spot of the supreme inheritance.


    But in the Primeval War Realm, it was already completely boiling over with excitement!


    ��Ancestor Lightning! It��s Ancestor Lightning who spoke in person!��


    ��Looks like Ancestor Lightning really regards Pang Zhen highly!��


    ��This Ye Yuan is really impressive, to actually force Ancestor Lightning to personally speak up! He could choose not to give face to Heavenly Emperor Myriad Spirit, but a Dao Ancestor��s face, he shouldn��t dare to not give, right?��


    �� ��


    Being able to force a Dao Ancestor to intercede for a junior, this in itself was a talent of cosmic proportions.


    At least, among these million unpredictable children, no one could do this except for Ye Yuan.


    After all, Pang Zhen was a powerhouse who had a chance to compete for the supreme inheritance.


    But hearing this, Pang Zhen himself almost wanted to vomit blood.


    Humiliating!


    ��Didn��t expect that I, Pang Zhen, actually fell to the extent of needing Ancestor to speak up!�� Pang Zhen secretly hated it in his heart.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he was stunned too.


    He was still curious why Pang Zhen��s lightning law could be so strong. He did not think that he was actually Ancestor Lightning��s descendant.


    Ancestor Lightning speaking up, Ye Yuan also fell into silence.


    Everyone was watching him, waiting for him to speak.


    After a long time, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Letting him enter the top 11, I can do that. But I need a promise from Ancestor Lightning!��


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, with looks of disbelief.


    This guy was actually bargaining with a Dao Ancestor?


    His guts were too plucky!


    This time, it was Ancestor Lightning��s turn to be silent.


    ��Speak! As long as it��s not too overboard, this ancestor can agree to it!�� Ancestor Lightning said after thinking about it.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I wish to ask Ancestor Lightning to help me retrieve a Tear of Life!��


    When Ancestor Lightning heard this, he paused distinctly, and said, ��A Tear of Life! Heh, brat, what high-sounding sentiments you have! Do you really know what a Tear of Life is?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I naturally know! Hence, that��s why I need to request Ancestor Lightning to take action!��


    He was not that ignorant person from long ago anymore and naturally understood about the Tear of Life.


    This thing was a product above rules; valuable until it made people��s hair stand on end!


    It would only appear once every 100 million years.


    And this thing had never flowed out to the outside world before either.


    There were only legends in the outside world.


    This thing only existed in the hands of Dao Ancestors!


    Ancestor Lightning��s tone was somewhat cold and he said, ��This can��t be done. Change to another one!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Sorry about it, this Ye has no other request, I only ask for the Tear of Life. Since Senior can��t do it, then this Ye won��t show mercy anymore either.��


    As he said, he actually urged the sword formation again, planning on killing Pang Zhen.


    Everyone was stunned!


    This guy was really too impressive!


    That was a Dao Ancestor! He actually did not give any face at all!


    ��Brat, you dare!�� Above the void, came Ancestor Lightning��s furious voice.


    Ye Yuan just said coolly, ��These 17 people wanted to kill me. Pang Zhen and Yu Tanzhe were the instigators. Since the grudges are already formed, why should I let them get the inheritance? Although Senior might have a paramount status, you want this Ye to give in with all talk but no promises. Sorry, I can��t do it!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pointed at the void, countless sword lights rushed over towards Pang Zhen.


    The million unpredictable children watched until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    Nine great Dao Ancestors, those were true sovereigns, supreme masters!


    They were this Heavenspan World��s apex existences.


    The population of the Heavenspan World was trillions upon trillions, but there were only nine people who were able to reach this realm.


    Their words were the imperial decree. It represented Heavenly Dao.


    Now, Ye Yuan was actually going to kill Pang Zhen in front of him!


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also had a glassy expression on his face.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so unyielding.


    The face of a Dao Ancestor, not giving face as he pleased. It was really mind-blowing.


    One had to know, even he had to show Dao Ancestors some face!


    Of course, while surprise was surprise, he also guarded against Ancestor Lightning.


    If he dared to make a move, he would be taking action.


    He started the battle of geniuses this time for the human race��s matter of fundamental importance, and not for Ancestor Lightning alone.


    Now, Ye Yuan had clearly already obtained the position of the supreme inheritance. He would never allow Ancestor Lightning to break the rules.


    Ancestor Lightning gave him a glance, seemingly knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly spoke up, ��Stop! The Tear of Life might appear again within a thousand years! This ancestor can promise you that when the time comes, I can help you to take action once! As for whether it succeeds or not, it will depend on your own good fortune! This is already my bottom-line!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he smiled brilliantly and said, ��Okay, deal! Senior, please swear a Heavenly Dao Oath! When taking action this time, you must do your best!��


    Ancestor Lightning��s face was black, but he still swore the Heavenly Dao Oath.


    After Ye Yuan finished hearing the Heavenly Dao Oath, he also finally set his mind at ease.


    In order to revive Mu Lingxue, forget about offending Ancestor Lightning, even if it was poking a hole in the sky, he would go and do it too.


    Obtaining Ancestor Lightning��s promise, Ye Yuan��s sword formation suddenly turned its spearhead around and rushed towards the others.


    However, after killing one person, he killed Pang Zhen off without the slightest hesitation.


    Finally, Pang Zhen was ranked 11th, obtaining the last inheritance spot.


    When Ancestor Lightning saw this scene, his expression was livid with rage.


    This brat really did not know life from death!


    Couldn��t you let Pang Zhen lose a little more beautifully?


    Getting a second place or a third place was good too!


    The following battles already did not have the least bit of suspense. Ye Yuan rushed over one by one, killing off the 17 children very quickly.


    Inside the huge cage, there was only Ye Yuan and Wan Zhen left.


    ��Huhu, I didn��t expect that in the end, it��s still Brother Wan and me facing off!�� Ye Yuan said with a laugh.


    Wan Zhen smiled bitterly and said, ��I also didn��t expect that you actually used this kind of method to have a showdown with me in the end. In just a few days, I��m already far from being your match anymore!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Without fighting, who knows? Brother Wan is the most talented person that this Ye has ever seen!��


    Wan Zhen felt touched, Ye Yuan was giving him face.


    Actually, at this point, fighting or not was already not important anymore.


    No one would think that he could win against Ye Yuan. Even he himself did not believe it.


    But Ye Yuan was giving him face.


    Ye Yuan did not even give a Dao Ancestor face, but Ye Yuan gave him face!


    He suddenly discovered that Ye Yuan was someone who was extremely principled.


    What he did not like, even if you pressed a blade against his neck, he would not shrink back too.


    What he liked, even if you fought against the whole world, he would fight with you too!


    This friend was worth making!


    Suddenly, he was filled with lofty sentiments and laughed loudly as he said, ��Okay, then let��s decide the victor! This time, don��t hold back anymore!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��As it should be!��


    The two people��s great battle lasted for a whole day and night!


    Ye Yuan did not go easy, Wan Zhen was well-deserving of being the most troublesome character among the unpredictable children.


    All the way until the end, he whittled away Wan Zhen��s divine essence, before he slew him!


    Coming this far, the curtains finally fell on the battle of geniuses!

 Chapter 2367 - Spacetime Vortex!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Rumble!


    Suddenly, the earth quaked and mountains swayed.


    In the Primeval War Realm, three towering palaces rose from ground up, and slowly flew into the air.


    The three palaces varied in size. The largest one had a circumference of 100 thousand feet.


    While the smallest one was only a thousand feet.


    ��What a powerful aura of law! These are the inheritance palaces?��


    ��Surprisingly, the smallest one, its law undulation is the scariest! Could it be that that��s the one and only supreme inheritance?��


    ��Really envy them! This is the human race��s cr��me de la cr��me of inheritances.��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of the one million unpredictable children revealed incredibly envious expressions.


    It��s just that those who were able to enter the inheritance divine temples were only a scanty thousand people.


    Of course, who people were most envious of was still the Ye Yuan who could monopolize a temple.


    They really wanted to know just what kind of inheritance was inside that smallest inheritance divine temple.


    ��The battle of geniuses is over. Those who didn��t obtain an inheritance can leave! However, the Doomsday Battle has already begun. No one can stay aloof from the affair. If the human race isn��t united, we can only become the divine race��s slaves! Everyone, conduct yourselves well!��


    Above the void, came Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� warning voice, making everyone��s hearts turn cold.


    Very soon, the figures of one million unpredictable children directly dissipated on the spot. They were already transported out of the Primeval War Realm by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    Those who remained in the Primeval War Realm were only left with those 1000 people already.


    ��Right now, you all enter the palaces respectively according to your rank. Ye Yuan, you got first place, enter the smallest palace. Wan Zhen and the rest of the ten people, enter the second palace. The others enter the third palace. This old man will still give you all ten years, which is also a thousand years�� time. How much you can comprehend, will depend on yourselves!��


    Finished saying, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s voice disappeared.


    A thousand unpredictable children exchanged glances. There was already someone who started flying over in the direction of the inheritance palaces.


    Ye Yuan assumed his responsibility and flew towards that smallest palace.


    When Wan Zhen and the rest of the ten saw this scene, they all had looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.


    Originally, this spot should have been born among them. In the end, someone threw a wrench in the works, and they were actually intercepted by Ye Yuan.


    Among their circle of the top-level geniuses, they had never heard of such a person before.


    Where in the world did this guy pop out from?


    As for the alchemy world��s affairs, they would never pay attention to it at all.


    The alchemy world was not worth mentioning to them.


    In the Doomsday Battle, the alchemy world had a negligible effect on the human race. They naturally held it in contempt too.


    ��Stop looking around! Keep looking and your eyeballs will drop out! Time is pressing, better hurry up and comprehend the Dao!��


    At this time, Wan Zhen suddenly smiled, flying toward the second palace with a leap.


    A thousand years seemed very long, but with regards to gaining enlightenment on Dao, it was merely a snap of a finger.


    Otherwise, why would the power of laws of those old monsters who had lived for a trillion years be not as good as Ye Yuan?


    Even if these were all prodigies among geniuses, a thousand years�� time was really not considered long.


    �� ��


    Stepping into the palace, a source power that was strong until it made people suffocate, hit him head-on.


    It was another space inside the palace!


    Accurately speaking, it was a vortex, a vortex composed of time law and spatial law.


    ��Hiss �� What a powerful spacetime law! Even if this power of law didn��t reach the power of rules, it��s also not far off, right?��


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help drawing a cold breath.


    These two power of laws were simply too strong. It was strong to the extent that he, this proud son of heaven, was also amazed by it.


    His attainments in spatial law could be said to be extremely strong already.


    But compared to the spacetime vortex in front of him, it simply paled in comparison.


    ��Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said, these power of laws were all refined by the human race��s major powerhouses who died in the last epoch. Doesn��t that mean that the human race��s major powers back then could actually cultivate these two kinds of supreme laws close to the level of Dao Ancestor at the same time? This �� This is also too terrifying!��


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something, the shock in his heart growing even more.


    It seemed like in the last epoch, the human race was really glorious to the extreme!


    Being able to cultivate two great supreme laws to this kind of level, their strength was likely not inferior to Dao Ancestors anymore, right?


    This kind of powerful existence actually fell in the Doomsday Battle too. Ye Yuan simply did not dare to imagine how strong the divine race��s progenitors were.


    Most likely, what they were able to mobilize was not just the power of laws already, but the power of rules!


    The more he understood the human race��s glorious past, the more Ye Yuan was able to understand the might of the divine race.


    Of course, he also understood Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� worries more.


    With the human race��s strength currently, there was no chance of winning at all!


    Whatever Divine Son, Daymeld, whatever Profound Lineage��s nine elders, whatever Daymeld, these were all not the most terrifying existences.


    The most terrifying thing was still the divine race��s progenitors!


    Their might was simply unimaginable.


    Being able to beat such a glorious human race until their legacies were close to being cut off, and not even regain their vitality for an epoch, the divine essence��s terror was evident at a glance.


    ��Sigh, it��s just that, don��t know how Li-er is currently.�� Ye Yuan suddenly felt melancholy in his heart.


    ��Brat, this ancestor senses the power of spacetime law in you. Unfortunately, it��s too weak! Are you the number one genius that Profound Secrets that brat picked? Too weak!��


    Suddenly, a faint phantom walked out of the spacetime vortex, looking at Ye Yuan with a disappointed look.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his expression could not help being strange.


    He annihilated 17 of the Heavenspan World��s top geniuses with his power alone to be standing here.


    But reaching this old man��s mouth, he became too weak.


    However, he could also understand the old man��s thoughts. After all, his power of laws was indeed too weak compared to the spacetime vortex in front of him.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow toward the old man and said, ��Junior Ye Yuan offers greetings to Senior!��


    This old man perished for the human race, he was worthy of Ye Yuan��s bow.


    He could tell that this old man was not some remnant soul, and also not some residual thought. He was merely just a remnant wisp of consciousness that was in the power of laws. That was all.


    But just a wisp of consciousness already made Ye Yuan have a feeling of being daunted at the sight of him. It could be seen how terrifying an existence he was before his death.


    The old man waved his hand and said to Ye Yuan, ��You��re too weak to accept this ancestor��s inheritance! Leave!��


    Ye Yuan could not help being taken aback when he heard that. This old man was actually not even giving him any chance?


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Senior hasn��t tried it. How do you know that junior can��t receive the inheritance?��


    The old man said coolly, ��Spacetime law is the most profound, most mysterious power of law in the world! Especially reaching the level of source, it��s not what you can imagine at all! Your spatial law is pretty good, but it��s just an accessory to Sword Dao! Wanting to step into the level of source is virtually impossible. As for time law, it goes even more without saying. I believe that you also have an idea in your heart, right? Therefore, don��t tell me how brilliant you are; you just couldn��t do it!��

 Chapter 2368 - Hacked to Pieces!

    ��You won��t do!��


    A mere three words showed the old man��s disdain and contempt in its entirety.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was still his first time hearing someone say these three words to him like this.


    Regardless of whether in the Immortal Grove World or in the Heavenspan World, Ye Yuan��s talent had always been frighteningly strong.


    Even unparalleled talents the likes of Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen were also crushed by Ye Yuan until they could not even raise their heads.


    But the old man in front of him actually turned his nose up at him.


    ��Even if this junior won��t cut it, Senior doesn��t seem to have a better choice either! Because the human race already doesn��t have too much time! Senior Profound Secrets only gave us ten years, which is also 1000 years!�� Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said smilingly.


    A major power who could offer his life for the human race, Ye Yuan did not believe that he would watch the human race walked towards destruction.


    In the Primeval War Realm, what Ye Yuan was using was not his main body. Hence, the old man was unable to determine skeletal age.


    In the old man��s eyes, Ye Yuan��s bit of law comprehension was nothing at all.


    If he knew that merely a few thousand years had gone by since Ye Yuan cultivated until now, he probably would not think like that anymore.


    The old man frowned slightly and said, ��The human population numbers more than a billion trillion. Could it be that even a slightly passable genius can��t be found now?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head and said, ��I��m afraid that it��s really very hard to find. Senior, why don��t you make do with it for now and let me try?��


    The old man heaved a sigh and said, ��Profound Secrets that kid is also a disappointment! He studied spacetime law for so many years and merely comprehended 1:100 ratio. Forget it, since you��re in the first place, then let you try it, also so that you��ll give up on it. Go on. As long as you can survive two hours in the spacetime vortex, it will be considered to have made some minor accomplishments! However, that��s impossible.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze could not help looking towards the spacetime vortex.


    There, two power of laws were colliding violently, turning spacetime upside down.


    In that kind of environment, anything that got swept in would be torn to shreds by the two kinds of power of laws.


    Ye Yuan attempted to fire a shot of divine essence into it.


    In the end, it was swallowed up without even stirring up a wave.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan��s expression was slightly austere.


    Surviving for two hours in this spacetime vortex was absolutely an extremely difficult thing.


    When the old man saw Ye Yuan��s solemn expression, he said smugly, ��Kid, you know how formidable it is now? Profound Secrets that brat can only stay inside for an hour! Touch your heart and ask yourself. Do you feel that your talent is even greater than his?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was absolutely the most talented genius since this epoch!


    Regarding this point, even Dao Ancestors had no way of denying it.


    He was not a Dao Ancestor, but his strength was already not inferior to Dao Ancestors.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��Senior, each person��s talent is different. Senior Profound Secrets�� talent lies in divining Heavenly Dao, and not spacetime law. So in spacetime law, it��s already very impressive that he can reach this step.��


    The old man chuckled and said, ��Then your meaning is that your talent is even above his?��


    Ye Yuan also laughed and said, ��I don��t dare to say that. So I better try it out then.��


    Done talking, he leaped, jumping into the spacetime vortex.


    Before his figure even entered the core of the vortex, the tearing sensation brought by the two kinds of laws already made him feel overwhelmed to the extent where he wished that he was dead.


    This region of space was not a complete space, but a vortex that was completely ground up by time law and spatial law.


    Any object, as long as it entered this region, would be torn into shreds.


    People were no exception either.


    Ye Yuan just felt as if there were thousands of blades slicing his flesh and blood piece by piece.


    Forcefully being sliced into thousands of pieces!


    That kind of pain simply could not use words to describe.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan was torn to pieces, deader than dead.


    Ye Yuan felt that his grasp of spacetime law was already very deep. But he did not expect that he could not even enter.


    This was embarrassing!


    Very soon, Ye Yuan��s physical body condensed again.


    His face did not have any rosiness at all. That feeling of overwhelming pain to the extent where he wished he was dead was still seemingly happening to him, unable to disperse.


    That kind of feeling simply made people despair.


    The old man said to Ye Yuan with a big laugh, ��Haha, kid, this is the talent that you��re bragging about? Your understanding of spacetime law is too shallow!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression became unprecedentedly solemn and he said with a nod, ��What senior said is true, looks like my understanding of spacetime law is indeed too superficial! Again!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, leaping into the vortex again.


    It was still that agony of being sliced into thousands of pieces. Each blade passed through the nerves, transmitting to every corner of the body.


    Too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan attempted to mobilize the power of spacetime law to resist this endless slicing.


    But everything was futile.


    He was still unable to enter the vortex and was directly throttled.


    In the second revival, Ye Yuan��s complexion turned a little paler.


    That taste of being sliced into thousands of pieces was really unbearable.


    The pain of the nirvanic tribulation was already very terrifying.


    But compared to this, it was simply like an apprentice in the presence of a mighty sorcerer.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and came to the edge of the vortex again.


    But this time, he did not jump in again.


    The old man discovered that Ye Yuan��s entire body was trembling.


    That was his body instinctively feeling scared!


    In these few thousand years, how many grand battles and how much pain and suffering had Ye Yuan experienced?


    He had never been afraid before!


    But this time, he got scared.


    He did not want to be scared, but his body was very honest!


    ��Kid, give up! Your strength is too weak! Profound Secrets that brat relied on the powerful cultivation realm of Deva Fifth Blight to survive in the spacetime vortex. Your law comprehension can��t make it, and your cultivation realm also can��t make it. There��s no possibility of comprehending. Do you think that this ancestor is intentionally making things difficult for you?�� The old man could not help laughing when he saw Ye Yuan��s appearance.


    He naturally knew that Ye Yuan was a present era genius. Being able to enter this supreme inheritance, it was impossible to be a mediocre person.


    But he still fell short of his standards.


    He was not intentionally making things difficult for Ye Yuan, he was just stating a fact, that was all.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, he extended a foot out tremblingly.


    A powerful suction force made his body get swept into the vortex involuntarily.


    This time, he was passive.


    But, due to his body being too scared, he did not have time to even utilize the power of spacetime law this time and was directly eradicated.


    When he walked to the edge of the vortex for the fourth time, the trembling of his body became even stronger.


    Ye Yuan��s foot was practically shaking.


    It could be seen how scared his body was.


    However, he still extended a foot out tremblingly and was swept into the vortex by the powerful suction force again.


    Then, he was annihilated again.


    Just like that, over and over again.


    Each time, he would be directly garroted by spacetime law.


    But he still jumped into the vortex without hesitation.


    The old man��s face gradually turned solemn from the scorn at the beginning.

 Chapter 2369 - Return to Zero!

    The old man said with shock in his heart, ��Disregarding talent, the tenacity of this boy��s heart isn��t beneath this old man��s!��


    Just as Sacred Ancestor High Priest said back then, temperament was the key to becoming a supreme powerhouse.


    For the old man to be able to achieve a supreme position, mastering two supreme laws at the same time, the strength of his temperament naturally went without saying.


    But he never thought that Ye Yuan actually had such terrifying tenacity!


    He understood that the agony of being sliced into thousands of pieces was not what ordinary people could endure at all.


    Especially those so-called geniuses, their hearts were loftier than the sky. So how could they bear this kind of inhumane torture?


    Furthermore, it was not even one time!


    It was over and over again!


    Ye Yuan was clearly already afraid to the extreme, scared until he was unable to even walk normally.


    But he still forced himself to jump down again and again!


    In this place, there would not be true death.


    But this agony was a thousand times, ten thousand times, even scarier than death!


    What was most terrifying was not death, but clearly knowing that the process of death was extremely terrifying, but had no choice but to face it.


    Could Ye Yuan choose not to face it?


    Of course he could!


    However, he resolutely chose to face it!


    Would death become numb?


    No!


    Each time he went down the spacetime vortex, the pain of each blade was reminding Ye Yuan that this was another samsara!


    He was not able to be numb.


    Not only would he not be numb, but that sense of fear would also increase along with the number of times, and grow with each passing day.


    Ye Yuan��s body also went from the starting slight trembling to the spasming-like shaking later on.


    He did not want to tremble, but he could not control himself.


    Each time he jumped, he had to exhaust all of his strength.


    But once he jumped down, he would die.


    Then, it was another samsara.


    ��Kid, what is it that supports you to do things to this extent?�� Three days later, the old man finally could not resist asking Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan stood on the edge of the vortex, turned to the old man, and said smilingly, ��I have a reason that leaves me no choice but to become strong! Some people are still waiting for me to go and save! Of course, I also won��t passively watch the human race go extinct!��


    The old man was moved and said, ��Those people must be very important to you.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��The love of my life!��


    The old man let out a sigh and said, ��Pray ask what is love, guiding people till death do them apart! Kid, you��re very determined. It��s just that a thousand years�� time is too short! With your talent, you probably can��t comprehend the spacetime inheritance!��


    Not that the time was too short, but that spacetime law was too hard.


    Such a supreme inheritance, how could it be comprehended in a short thousand years?


    Forget about comprehending, even standing in the vortex for an hour was harder than ascending to heaven.


    Ye Yuan ignored the old man��s lamentation, and he leaped once more, jumping down.


    Of course, the conclusion was always surprisingly similar.


    Along with the passage of time, the time that Ye Yuan stood outside the vortex also became longer and longer.


    To him, taking the last step required tremendous courage.


    In this blink of an eye, it was 30 years!


    During these 30 years, Ye Yuan already could not remember how many times he died.


    But he could never last for long inside the vortex.


    Which was also to say that he did not cross the threshold.


    Using 30 years�� time to make a futile effort, it looked like a very foolish action in the eyes of bystanders, but Ye Yuan did not think so.


    What he believed in, was that as long as time was sunk in, an iron rod could be ground into a needle.


    ��Kid, do you really still want to persist? At this rate, your mind won��t be able to bear the breakdown! At that time, even though your physical body won��t die, you can only be an idiot too! Young Man, why be so persistent?�� The old man could not resist persuading again.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How can there be a smooth-sailing thing in this world? Want to obtain the supreme inheritance, but not be willing to take the risk, how can there be such a good thing in this world? Senior, you don��t need to persuade me again!��


    Finished saying this, he turned around and wanted to jump.


    His foot had just stepped out but withdrew again.


    The moment the old man saw, he smiled and said, ��Kid, finally gave up? Not that this ancestor is looking down on you, but it��s truly that you don��t have this strength.��


    But Ye Yuan smiled radiantly and said, ��I seem to have understood something! Many thanks, Senior!��


    The old man��s expression changed, but saw Ye Yuan leap, entering the vortex once more.


    But this time, Ye Yuan did not employ spacetime law!


    He jumped into the vortex without any obstruction just like that.


    When Ye Yuan returned to the shore again, the old man had a blank look as he said, ��What did you understand?��


    He still thought that Ye Yuan comprehended, but in the end, there did not seem to be any changes.


    Was this kid purposely misleading people by making things look mysterious?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior said that I��m too stubborn. It��s indeed the case! I��ve always been thinking about using my spatial law to resist the spacetime vortex here. The two aren��t powers on the same level at all, so what comprehension is there to talk about? Furthermore, Senior said before that my spatial law was born because of Sword Dao. It deviated from the power of source to begin with. I used a deviated path to go and comprehend the right path, so how can it possibly succeed? Therefore, I simply returned my spatial law to zero, to go and feel the mighty torrent power in the vortex without the least bit of obstruction, maybe �� it will have a miraculous effect.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan walked toward the vortex once more.


    Although this time, he was still trembling.


    While the old man had a look of astonishment, he also had a feeling that Ye Yuan seemed to have found the right path!


    Even he did not expect that Ye Yuan kept on failing to comprehend spacetime was actually because of this reason.


    But his unintentional words gave Ye Yuan great inspiration.


    However, the shock in the old man��s heart grew even stronger.


    One had to know, Ye Yuan��s spatial law was already comprehended to the boundary of rank eight.


    People all had thinking derived from experience, reaching rank eight, it was naturally going a step further to go and comprehend source.


    But Ye Yuan could let go of the obsession in his heart, and think of returning to zero, this method. It was absolutely rare in this world!


    ��Could it be that this kid is really an extraordinary talent?�� The old man exclaimed.


    Hence, Ye Yuan set off anew and fell into the endless cycle of samsara again.


    Finally, around 100 plus years, Ye Yuan stepped into the spacetime vortex for the first time!


    However, the power of law in the outer-peripherals was already so terrifying, let alone inside the vortex?


    Ye Yuan just entered the vortex and was ground to dust by the terrifying spacetime turbulent flow.


    The old man opened his mouth wide as if he had seen something beyond comprehension.


    The old man said in shock, ��He actually really entered it! This �� This has just been only over 100 years!��


    Reviving back at the shore, Ye Yuan had an excited expression.


    In one hundred years of samsara, he had to die countless times every day!


    This sort of thing, even thinking about it felt terrifying.


    But he pulled through!


    This endless pain, this endless effort, was worth it!


    ��Hahaha �� finally entered! Senior, I really have to thank you! If not for you, I would have probably never been able to enter the spacetime vortex in this lifetime!�� Ye Yuan said to the old man excitedly.


    But the old man��s expression was somewhat ugly.


    What did I do?


    I did nothing at all!


    This kid wouldn��t be intentionally making a dig at me, right?

 Chapter 2370 - Spacetime Grand Ancestor!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    After opening this gap, everything became a matter of course.


    Although the comprehension of spacetime law slowed down, Ye Yuan still advanced forward steadily.


    Only at this time, did Ye Yuan understand that this spacetime vortex was simply fragments of law, formed under the traction of some kind of great power.


    The time law that he comprehending in the primeval war realm was likely a tiny fragment inside this spacetime vortex.


    It could be seen from this how terrifying the power of this spacetime vortex was!


    If he could comprehend all of the power of law in this spacetime vortex, Ye Yuan would be able to immediately become the Heavenspan World��s number one major power!


    Even the Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets would probably have to respectfully call him as Senior Ye Yuan.


    However, wanting to reach this step, even if it was Ye Yuan, it was also impossible to easily accomplish it.


    The road that he had to walk was still long.


    Just as the old man said, being able to stabilize in the vortex for an hour was considered to have made minor accomplishments already.


    Along with the passage of time, Ye Yuan also gradually understood that the spatial law he comprehended previously was indeed biased.


    His spatial law was comprehended through Sword Dao.


    The things that he comprehended were also used to serve Sword Dao.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s spatial law was mostly used to increase the power of Sword Dao.


    But actually, spatial law itself was superior to Sword Dao!


    Without space, all power of laws were rootless weeds, and it naturally became empty talk.


    No law could exist without space.


    And this was also the reason why spatial law was called a supreme law.


    Time law was the same.


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan��s comprehension of spatial law was merely just the application of a certain aspect of spatial law, that was all.


    It seemed high, but actually, it was flashy without substance.


    Ye Yuan��s comprehensions did not touch the foundation of spatial law at all. Therefore, it was virtually impossible to want to comprehend the power of source.


    Of course, to the geniuses today, this bit of comprehension was enough.


    Along with the passage of time, Ye Yuan��s comprehension of space and time, two great laws, became increasingly deeper.


    It was equivalent to Ye Yuan comprehending spatial law from the beginning again.


    His foundation was strong to begin with, coupled with his powerful comprehension ability, at the 800th year, he finally comprehended to rank eight anew.


    And Ye Yuan also made considerable progress in time law, he already went from 1:5 to 1:30.


    This change was shocking from beginning to end in the eyes of the old man.


    ��How can this kid��s talent be so terrifying? Even for the geniuses in my era, it��s also impossible to comprehend spacetime law to this level in a short 800 years!��


    Only at this time did the old man discover that he seemed to have misjudged Ye Yuan.


    He previously thought that Ye Yuan was merely a mediocre talent. But having personally witnessed his improvement now, only then did he know how laughable his thoughts were.


    But he was very perplexed. Why was his law comprehension so lousy?


    He suddenly thought of a problem. After Ye Yuan revived, he could not resist asking, ��Kid, how old are you?��


    Actually, to Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse, the issue of age was already not an issue.


    Perhaps, even they themselves did not remember clearly how old they were.


    They took 100 thousand years as spring, and 100 thousand years as summer. This kind of time frame, who would really remember their age every day?


    But Ye Yuan naturally remembered.


    Ye Yuan said, ��This junior is roughly over 3000 years old.��


    He knew what the old man thought of, but did not have the intention of showing off. He just said it honestly.


    But these words shocked the old man.


    The old man opened his eyes wide and said with a look of disbelief, ��Over 3 �� 3000 years old? You��re bluffing this ancestor, right! Do you think that this ancestor is a three-year-old kid? Would I believe your lousy lie?��


    Ye Yuan smiled harmlessly and did not explain anything, walking toward the vortex once again.


    This sort of thing, if they believed, they believed. Not believing, it would be pointless even if he explained it too.


    Unless his main body arrived here, the old man would be able to see through his skeletal age at a glance.


    Otherwise, it was useless to say anything.


    However the implication of posturing was quite thick when it landed in the old man��s eyes,


    ��This kid actually ignored this ancestor!�� The old man billowed his beard and glared in anger.


    But very soon, he exclaimed again, ��If this kid is really only 3000 years old, then he��s even more monstrous than ancient geniuses! With his potential, even reaching this ancestor��s peak back then is also not unknown! Hope that this kid wouldn��t lie to me!:


    When Ye Yuan returned from the dead again, the old man stopped Ye Yuan and said solemnly, ��Kid, let��s sit down and talk!��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and immediately nodded his head.


    This old man finally acknowledged him.


    One had to know, over 800 years had already passed since he came in. He did not even know the old man��s name.


    Clearly, in the old man��s eyes, he was disdainful to have Ye Yuan know his name.


    ��This old man, Shang Hang, is the leader of the human race��s titled grand ancestors: Grand Ancestor Spacetime!�� Talking up to here, Shang Hang��s face revealed a proud look.


    Clearly, he was very proud of this identity.


    ��The so-called grand ancestors, you can understand it as, the strongest people of the all races alliance! The alliance had a total of 18 grand ancestors. The Doomsday Battle back then, all 18 of us died in battle! This spacetime vortex that you see was left behind by this ancestor and the divine race��s Heaven Lineage��s progenitor, Tian Qing��s, ultimate battle. This move is called Spacetime Reversal Chaos. This ancestor fought Tian Qing alone and eventually severely injured him, finally exiling him into the spacetime turbulent flow.��


    ��The two of us released the ultimate profound intent, and fought until the entire Heavenspan World was reduced to fragments! Of course, the Spacetime Reversal Chaos that you see is less than one-ten-thousandth of its power back then. Otherwise, you wouldn��t be able to enter inside at all.��


    Shang Hang spoke easily and assuredly, a heroic look on his face.


    Although he died, he had no regrets.


    Ye Yuan was filled with a deep veneration when he listened. In a few words, he revealed the horrors of the battle situation back then!


    Among the alliance��s strongest 18 grand ancestors, none actually survived!


    One had to know, these 18 grand ancestors were not what these current progenitors could compare to.


    Disregarding other things, just Shang Hang alone cultivating space and time, two paths, to such a terrifying boundary, one would know how stronger the 18 grand ancestors back then were.


    Most likely, his strength was not the slightest bit weaker than the present Dao Ancestors!


    These people, each one was a supreme powerhouse at the level of rules, the strength they possessed was unimaginable.


    But even so, the alliance still only had a pyrrhic victory.


    One could say that the Heavenspan World��s tens of billions of years of stability was exchanged for using these 18 people, as well as the lives of countless powerhouses.


    No wonder even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also had no hope for the human race at all.


    If the divine race��s progenitors all had such strength, then when Heavenly Dao took back the power of Dao Ancestors, the collective races would not have the strength to fight back at all!


    ��Senior, may Junior be so bold as to ask, back then, couldn��t the divine race and collective races coexist? Why must they fight to the extent of extinction?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    This was also something that he had always been puzzled about in his heart.


    Shang Hang chuckled coldly and said, ��If we could coexist, why would the collective races need to do such a thing?��

 Chapter 2371 - Vortex Sudden Change!

    ��Heh, you don��t know how arrogant and domineering the divine race was back then! They reared the myriad regions�� all lives in pens like pigs and sheep. After they are fattened up, they will be slaughtered in waves. Miracle panaceas, natural treasures, anything that they took fancy on, most of it is theirs! You don��t know what kind of a life of complete darkness that was!��


    ��The divine race occupied all of the land rich in spiritual energy around the Heavenspan Mountain, and drove all of the other races to remote places, and sent people to supervise the world, called divine envoys! Divine envoys have the power to control the life and death of all races. Even Deva Realm powerhouses, they can sentence them to death at will too!��


    ��In addition, as long as a heaven-defying genius emerged in the various races, they would concoct all kinds of plans to nip these geniuses in the bud! You say, how can we coexist with the divine race?��


    Talking until he was indignant about it, Shang Hang almost wanted to slap the table and get up.


    If not for that he only had a wisp of remnant consciousness, his current emotions would likely be able to cause huge undulations.


    Titanic waves also stirred in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    He did not expect that the various races actually had such a dark past.


    Compared to the previous epoch, the various races�� powerhouses in this era were really living in paradise.


    The divine race regarded all the races as ants, and they cruelly oppressed the world.


    This kind of humiliation, anyone who had a bit of gut would not sit passively and resign themselves to death too!


    Now that the divine race had bounced back, if really let them regain control of the Heavenspan World, with the divine race��s resentment, the various races would probably fall into an even darker life.


    And the divine race heightening their vigilance, the likelihood of the human race wanting to be liberated in the future, was virtually zero!


    ��Then, how did Senior you all do it?�� Ye Yuan looked at Shang Hang and asked.


    Under such strict monitoring from the divine race, the human race actually had major powers the likes of Shang Hang emerged. It was simply inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan was very curious about how they did it.


    Shang Hang��s expression turned solemn and he revealed a look of admiration as he said, ��This will have to start talking from Profound Secrets, that brat��s father! Before the 18 of us grand ancestors appeared, he was the human race��s leader. It was him who united the various races�� major powers together. He then used an inconceivable method, sacrificing himself as the price, to shield heaven��s secrets and send us, this batch, into a secret world. In the end, the 18 of us showed our talents, and became titled grand ancestors! Of course, there were still many peerless powerhouses whose strengths were not inferior to ours as well. But for the human race to be able to have today, Profound Secrets�� father, Jian Mi, made the greatest contribution!��


    Ye Yuan was dumbstruck with amazement from listening. He did not think that the Jian Family still had such a history.


    Back then, the power that the various races suddenly erupted with probably directly struck the divine race silly.


    They definitely never dreamed that so many experts would suddenly emerge.


    And at that time, their power of rules was already taken back by Heavenly Dao, they could only unfold a frenzied war with the various races.


    In the end, they left for the Abyss World in defeat.


    No wonder the Jian Family could become the Heavenspan World��s number one family. It was not just Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� strength, turns out that it was also due to his father.


    After all, no matter how strong Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was, it was also impossible to contend with the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    Furthermore, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also inherited his father��s will and exhausted his mind and body for the human race��s future.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan felt great admiration.


    He could not help recalling inside the Ancient God Battlefield, the Empyrean Vast Universe who imparted him the bone sword, as well as the Qilin emperor bone��s main body.


    They probably all perished in that great battle, right?


    ��So that��s how it is! Senior bent your body and exhausted all your energy for the human race, doing your utmost till death! Junior Ye Yuan will engrave it in my heart! Senior��s meaning, Junior understands. Senior rest assured, Junior will definitely follow Senior, and stop the divine race!�� Ye Yuan said.


    He naturally knew Shang Hang��s meaning. It was to hand this heavy responsibility onto his shoulders.


    Not talking about it previously, was because Shang Hang felt that Ye Yuan could not shoulder it.


    Assuming a serious attitude now, it was naturally acknowledging Ye Yuan��s ability.


    Shang Hang nodded and said, ��Good that you understand! Since you learned this ancestor��s spacetime law, you��ll have to inherit this ancestor��s will! Our human race can die, but we must never be pigs and sheep again!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Can there be unbroken eggs when the nest is totally wrecked? This logic, Junior understands! Moreover, Junior and the divine race��s dead knot can probably never be resolved! Senior, time is limited. Junior won��t be talking anymore. These remaining 100 plus years, Junior will do my best to comprehend spacetime law and not let Senior down!��


    Shang Hang nodded his head, very satisfied with Ye Yuan��s attitude.


    When Ye Yuan just entered, he did not find him pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked.


    But now, he found him pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked.


    In terms of talent, in terms of temperament, Ye Yuan was the best choice to inherit his mantle!


    With just over a hundred years remaining, Ye Yuan was still very far away from this gap of an hour.


    Hence, he jumped into the spacetime vortex again.


    It was still being sliced into thousands of pieces, but his courage grew even stronger.


    These ancient powerhouses�� resolve was still soul-stirring to this day.


    How could he, Ye Yuan, be willing to be outdone by others?


    Moreover, without the sacrifice of these ancient powerhouses, there naturally would not be the Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove who came later, let alone would there be the current Ye Yuan.


    This karma, Ye Yuan also had the responsibility to repay it!


    Time passed quietly. In a blink, it was another hundred over years.


    The date of a thousand years was already approaching.


    During this time, Ye Yuan��s spacetime law comprehension became smoother and smoother.


    His spatial law already reached the critical point of comprehending power of source. Time law also reached a level of 1:100.


    He was merely just a step away from the requirement of an hour too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s rapid progress, Shang Hang secretly nodded by the side.


    ��This kid��s talent is really too terrifying! It��s a pity that he wasn��t born in our era. Otherwise, our human race might not have needed to face such tragic losses!�� Shang Hang said with slight regret.


    Ye Yuan stood in the spacetime vortex. A hint of light gradually flashed across in his eyes.


    ��Turns out that this is the profound mysteries of spatial law? Yeah, this is Senior Shang Hang��s spatial law, while I need to comprehend the spatial law that belongs to me! My spatial law isn��t just the Heavenspan World��s spatial law, I have to create a spatial law that belongs to me! Mn, there��s also time law! These two great laws will be my Ye Yuan World��s two great supreme laws in the future!��


    Although Ye Yuan��s small world had already opened up, it was still a region of chaos.


    There, there was no Heavenly Dao, no power of laws.


    Everything was in the state of the primitive universe.


    The next time, Ye Yuan wanted to create Heavenly Dao laws that belonged to him, making everything operate on its own.


    Suddenly, a Tai Chi diagram suddenly rotated behind Ye Yuan.


    A powerful Great Dao power started revolving in the spacetime vortex.


    The sudden appearance of the Tai Chi diagram completely roiled up the entire spacetime vortex all at once.


    The entire spacetime vortex became incomparably berserk all of a sudden.


    That was Ye Yuan��s own power of spacetime law!


    His power of spacetime law and the power of law in the spacetime vortex seemed to have produced some kind of resonance, stirring up the entire spacetime vortex all at once.


    Rumble!


    Shang Hang��s expression changed drastically and he said in horror, ��What is this kid going to do? Not good, he triggered Spacetime Reversal Chaos! He is going to be swept into the spacetime turbulence!��

 Chapter 2372 - Unknown Land

    Rumble!


    Supreme inheritance divine temple suddenly emitted violent rumblings, reverberating throughout the clouds.


    The entire Primeval War Realm was virtually all trembling.


    The other two inheritance divine temples were practically shattering under this powerful undulation!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and Ancestor Lightning, this level of existences, were immediately startled.


    ��Profound Secrets, what��s going on?�� Ancestor Lightning said in a solemn voice.


    Profound Secrets�� expression was very ugly as he said in a deep voice, ��I don��t know either. This undulation seems to have happened in the supreme inheritance divine temple. Could it be that something happened to Ye Yuan?��


    The moment Ancestor Lightning and the rest heard, they immediately calmed down.


    As long as it was not their descendants and disciples meeting with a mishap, it was fine.


    As for Ye Yuan, what did his life and death have to do with them?


    In fact, Ancestor Lightning was even somewhat gloating over his misfortune!


    This kid considered everyone beneath his notice and actually dared to negotiate terms with this ancestor? He deserved to die!


    Originally, today was the day when the unpredictable children exited seclusion.


    But no one could have thought that such a huge change suddenly occurred at this time.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� expression changed slightly, his figure moving, disappearing on the spot. The rest followed one after another.


    When they arrived at the inheritance divine temples, the other unpredictable children already came out of the temples.


    While the supreme inheritance divine temple had long already fallen apart to pieces!


    A shocking power of spacetime law surged to the sky, forming a huge whirlpool in the air.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s complexion was deathly pale as he cried out in surprise, ��This �� This is Spacetime Reversal Chaos! Not good! Ye Yuan is in danger!��


    The unpredictable children were all baffled, completely not knowing what had happened.


    ��What a powerful law undulation! I didn��t expect that inside the supreme inheritance divine temple is actually spacetime law!��


    ��Ye Yuan should be in the inheritance divine temple, right? Such a powerful undulation, has he already been killed?��


    ��Heh heh, best if he died! This is probably Heavenly Dao��s punishment to him, this unpredictable child!�� Yu Tanzhi sneered coldly as he watched this scene.


    ��Isn��t that so! This punk killed me, not letting me enter the top 11, serves him right to die!�� Someone immediately concurred.


    He was completely ravaged by Ye Yuan this time and did not even get the ten great inheritances, and could only obtain the most ordinary inheritance.


    His inheritance was very ordinary. For his strength, it could not improve it too much, making it equivalent to being useless.


    Therefore, he hated Ye Yuan a lot and wished for him to die right away.


    He did not expect that his dream actually came true!


    This bunch of guys was already beside themselves with joy.


    ��Shut up! Whoever says another word, this emperor will make you regret being born in this world!�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets bursted out with a loud roar. His expression was gloomy until it could drip water.


    The unpredictable children shut their mouths sensibly. They did not have the slightest doubt that if they said another word, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets would make them unable to speak again.


    While at this time, a phantom slowly walked out of the spacetime storm. It was precisely Shang Hang.


    When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets as well as Ancestor Lightning saw Shang Hang, they both bowed in salute.


    ��Senior! Ye Yuan he ����


    The group of unpredictable children was filled with fear!


    Who was this? To actually be worthy of these two people��s bow?


    One had to know that one of them was a Dao Ancestor!


    Shang Hang accepted it calmly and said with a sigh, ��That kid was swept into the spacetime turbulence!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� expression changed wildly and he said, ��Senior, just �� just what��s going on here?��


    Ever since seeing Ye Yuan, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets viewed him as the hope of the human race.


    But now, this human race��s hope was banished into the spacetime turbulence, and could no longer come out again!


    One had to know, back then, it was Shang Hang who banished Tian Qing to the spacetime turbulence.


    Even that kind of terrifying existence was unable to escape from the spacetime turbulence, let alone Ye Yuan?


    Shang Hang smiled bitterly and said, ��I don��t know either! He seemed to have comprehended something at the final moment. But right at that time, the spacetime vortex suddenly became berserk, sweeping him into the spacetime turbulence. Later, you all saw it.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets only felt that it was preposterous. Spacetime Reversal Chaos was Shang Hang��s ultimate profound intent. But even he himself did not understand what was going on?


    But, with Ye Yuan being banished, wasn��t it cutting off the human race��s last hope?


    ��Then �� Then what should we do now?�� Even someone as level-headed as Profound Secrets was also somewhat at a loss on what to do now.


    Shang Hang smiled bitterly and said, ��Forget about now. Even when this ancestor was at my prime back then, I was also unable to bring people back from the spacetime turbulence. Now �� we can only wait, see if a miracle appears! Oh, right, protect his physical body well. I hope that this boy isn��t fated to die!��


    When Ye Yuan was being swept into the spacetime turbulence, it was his consciousness as well as the physical body that the Primeval War Realm condensed.


    If he was unable to return, Ye Yuan��s fleshy body would be a living corpse.


    �� ��


    This was a lush green mountain, endowed with natural spirits.


    Ye Yuan strolled around, not knowing where he was.


    Just earlier, he was swept into a turbulent flow, and only felt the scenery before his eyes changing non-stop.


    Then he arrived at this unknown place.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said to himself, ��Spacetime Reversal Chaos, am I �� banished to the Ganges river of time? But, where is this place? It seems pretty good. But, how should I go back? Right now, Senior Profound Secrets and Senior Shang Hang they all, should be panicking, right?��


    A series of questions lingered in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    When he was swept into the Spacetime Reversal Chaos, he faintly heard Shang Hang yell out, Spacetime Reversal Chaos.


    Wasn��t Spacetime Reversal Chaos precisely Shang Hang��s ultimate profound intent?


    Him comprehending spacetime law actually produced a resonance with the spacetime vortex, and increased the power of the spacetime vortex many times!


    Then this meant that he sent himself to exile!


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��I��m afraid that it��s unprecedented to be banished like me, right?��


    He just wanted to comprehend a spacetime law that belonged to him. But he did not expect that it triggered this kind of horrifying power, and he banished himself.


    This sort of thing seemed like a blunder no matter how one looked at it.


    ��Forget it. Since I came, might as well make the best out of it! Take a look at what place this is first,�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    Ye Yuan wandered over and discovered that there were many restrictions on the mountain. But to him, this Formation Dao rank two source powerhouse, it was naturally nothing.


    This place looked like a mountain pass gate, but there did not seem to be many human footmarks.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the spiritual energy here seemed to be a lot more abundant than in his own world.


    Hence, he followed the trail of spiritual energy and headed to the thickest place.


    There, it was normally where the core of the mountain pass gates lied.


    With Ye Yuan��s footsteps, his speed was naturally extremely fast. Before long, he arrived at the highest peak.


    Ye Yuan faintly felt many powerful auras.


    When he stepped onto the mountain pass gates, he was stunned by the scene before his eyes.


    In front of the vast mountain pass gates, ten thousand people were prostrated on the ground, trembling away.


    In front of the ten thousand people, several figures were extremely domineering.


    Beside them, laid corpses that covered the ground!


    Bang!


    A huge energy undulation flashed past, a young man was directly blown to pieces, not having an intact corpse.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils could not help shrinking!


    ��Divine race!��

 Chapter 2373 - Killing Divine Envoy!

    ��L-Lord Divine Envoy, our Ziwei Sect really didn��t antagonize the divine race! L-Lord Divine Envoy, please lift your hand high up in mercy, and let us off!��


    In front of a middle-aged divine race member, Ziwei Sect��s sect master said tremblingly.


    One could tell that he was very scared.


    This kind of fear came from the soul!


    ��Oh? Is that so? Looks like the people that this envoy killed isn��t enough yet!��


    The middle-aged divine envoy smiled slightly and pointed a finger out again. Another Ziwei Sect disciple was killed.


    His eyes were full of indifference.


    As if what he killed was not a person, but an animal.


    Ziwei Sect��s sect master trembled and choked with sobs as he said, ��Just what does Lord Divine Envoy want before you��re willing to let the Ziwei Sect off?��


    But the middle-aged divine envoy��s eyes landed on a young woman in the crowd.


    His eyes had indescribable greed.


    ��Ziwei has a girl who just grew up and she��s known as Skysouth��s number one beauty. Mo Qingshan, you understand!�� The middle-aged divine envoy said with a smile.


    Ziwei Sect Master, Mo Qingshan, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes full of resentment, as he said in shock and fury, ��Lord Divine Envoy framed my Ziwei Sect for Xiaocao?��


    The divine envoy smiled faintly and was indifferent as he said, ��So what?��


    The middle-aged divine envoy did not bother to hide it at all, directly admitting it!


    He came for Mo Xiaocao!


    He fabricated charges and intentionally framed them!


    What could you do to me?


    The middle-aged divine envoy was arrogant and domineering to the extreme.


    Mo Xiaocao, Ziwei Sect Master, Mo Qingshan��s beloved daughter.


    People should not look at how Mo Qingshan was trembling with fear in front of the middle-aged divine envoy. He loved this daughter deeply.


    In the crowd, Mo Xiaocao��s complexion turned pale, her entire body trembling.


    She had looks that made myriad life fall, but it was hard to resist the coveting of the divine race.


    In the eyes of the divine race, human girls were merely playthings.


    Girls who were eyed by the divine race, each one ended in extremely miserable outcomes.


    She smiled bitterly in her heart, this day still came in the end?


    Mo Qingshan��s expression flickered indeterminately, and he suddenly kowtowed.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Each sound, the entire Ziwei Sect could hear it distinctly.


    ��Divine Envoy, please let my girl go! Mo Qingshan is willing to die for her!�� Mo Qingshan said earnestly.


    But, there was no compassion in the middle-aged divine envoy��s eyes at all. He just said coolly, ��You can die. But Mo Xiaocao, this envoy is still bringing away!��


    Mo Qingshan suddenly stood up, staring straight at the divine envoy, full of anger.


    He dared to get angry, but he did not dare to speak!


    Behind him were ten thousand Ziwei Sect disciples!


    Once he became angry, these ten thousand disciples all had to be buried in death!


    But that was his most beloved daughter. So how could he watch her jump into the fire pit with his own eyes?


    Seeing the look in Mo Qingshan��s eyes, the middle-aged divine envoy��s brows furrowed slightly, appearing very unhappy.


    ��You dare to use this kind of eyes to look at this envoy?��


    Mo Qingshan was startled and gritted his teeth and said, ��Divine Envoy, please forgive me!��


    The divine envoy said coolly, ��Death penalty can be spared, but punishment can��t be escaped! You, cripple your cultivation and demote to a commoner. The position of sect master will be succeeded by Lin Tianhan!��


    Done talking, he turned around again and said to his two subordinates, ��Go, bring Mo Xiaocao away. If anyone dares to stop, kill without mercy!��


    ��Yes!��


    The two subordinates received the order and went, and were about to bring Mo Xiaocao away.


    Mo Xiaocao��s complexion turned a few shades paler.


    She wanted to struggle, but she did not dare.


    Mo Qingshan��s expression changed wildly and was about to stop those two subordinates. But the divine envoy said in a solemn voice, ��This envoy asked you to cripple your own cultivation, didn��t you hear?��


    While talking, the two subordinates already arrived in front of Mo Xiaocao, and they wanted to reach their hands out and take her away.


    Puff!


    Puff!


    No idea where two streaks of sword light appeared from either, the two subordinates fell down softly right in front of Mo Xiaocao.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Mo Xiaocao got a fright and screamed.


    The middle-aged divine envoy��s pupils constricted and he said with an angry roar, ��Who? Who did it? Step forward for this envoy!��


    Ziwei Sect��s disciples exchanged glances, you look at me, I look at you, all uncertain about things.


    The middle-aged divine envoy��s brows furrowed slightly and he said with a cold smile, ��No one is coming forward is it? To dare kill divine envoys, your entire Ziwei Sect has to be buried in death!��


    Everyone��s faces changed wildly, a look of alarm and anger on their faces.


    ��Who killed them, why haven��t you come forward! Want to cause all of us to die?��


    ��God damn it, who was it that wanted to frame our Ziwei Sect to be eternally doomed?��


    ��Damn it, quickly come forward!��


    �� ��


    Ziwei Sect��s disciples all had ashen expressions, crying out in horror.


    Just this sentence, the lethality was too great!


    A divine envoy saying this was not joking with them.


    He said exterminate the sect, that was really exterminating the sect!


    To the divine race, exterminating a sect was too easy.


    ��I��m standing in front of you. Haven��t you noticed it?�� Right then, a leisurely voice suddenly sounded out.


    It was not loud, but it made everyone��s hearts tremble.


    In front of the divine envoy, a young man was standing with his hands behind his back.


    What was even scarier was that they actually did not know when he stood there!


    He was clearly standing there but gave people an extremely unreal feeling.


    This person was naturally none other than precisely Ye Yuan.


    Traveling through spacetime, his spatial law already reached the level of source.


    Furthermore, this was the spatial law that he comprehended, superimposing with the Heavenspan World��s spatial law.


    Even for the divine race��s powerhouses, it was hard to distinguish too.


    But just earlier, the shock in Ye Yuan��s heart was similarly hard to express in words.


    He actually followed along the mighty current of spacetime, and he arrived in the previous epoch?


    The divine race cruelly oppressed myriad races. Originally, it merely existed in his imagination too.


    But, seeing this scene before his eyes, he finally knew how Shang Hang��s hatred came about.


    The divine envoy��s pupils constricted and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who are you? To actually dare kill divine envoys, are you tired of living?��


    Ye Yuan had a disapproving look as he said coolly, ��Killed then killed, so what?��


    The middle-aged divine envoy��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��Very good! To dare kill divine envoys, after you die, the Ziwei Sect will also be buried in death!��


    Ye Yuan had a disdainful look as he said, ��Your divine race is really cocky! Do you really take yourself to be the messenger of heaven? You aren��t even a fart in front of me!��


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, looking at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    Where did this guy pop out from, to actually dare talk so wildly!


    Divine envoy, that was naturally the envoy of heaven!


    The middle-aged envoy laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Where did this lunatic pop out from, to actually dare question my divine race��s authority! Today, this envoy is going to execute justice on behalf of heaven, and let you know what��s called heaven!��


    Done talking, the middle-aged divine envoy released his aura fully. He was actually at the peak middle-aged Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm!


    This level of strength was absolutely overwhelming to the human race!


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was merely Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    This bit of cultivation realm was not even enough to fill the crevices between his teeth. He naturally would not really take Ye Yuan seriously.


    Pah!


    Ye Yuan snapped his fingers and said coolly, ��Sword, come!��


    Clank, clank, clank ��


    Ziwei Sect��s swords all flew out involuntarily in an instant, flying over toward the divine envoy.


    Puchi!


    The middle-aged divine envoy��s move was not unleashed yet and he was already pierced into a sieve.

 Chapter 2374 - Sentry Celestial Palace

    ��D-Dead? He �� He killed a divine envoy!��


    ��You dare to kill a divine envoy! How dare you kill a divine envoy!��


    ��It��s over! You��ve doomed us all! Our Ziwei Sect is finished this time!��


    �� ��


    With Ye Yuan killing the middle-aged divine envoy, everyone��s first reaction was not how strong he was, being about to jump realms and kill a member of the divine race, but it was that Ye Yuan had implicated them.


    Hearing this, he could not help shaking his head and sighing.


    The might of the divine race had long already penetrated deep into the bones. These people did not dare to resist at all.


    Ye Yuan was also burning with anxiety from watching at one side, that was why he would make a move.


    He thought that the Ziwei Sect would resist. But in the end, Mo Qingshan did not dare to make a move either.


    However, he could understand. Under tremendous pressure, the human race could only swallow their pride and endure in silence.


    The price of resisting was death.


    How could a puny little Ziwei Sect stop the divine race��s army?


    Even ants drag out an ignoble existence, let alone humans?


    ��Oh, then why don��t you guys kidnap me and send me to the divine race there?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Mo Qingshan��s expression changed, and he said with an ugly expression, ��This �� How can this do? Little Brother, don��t joke around! It��s just that �� killing a divine envoy, this is a major crime!��


    He knew that Ye Yuan was mocking him.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��I��m being serious, you guys are really not sending?��


    Mo Qingshan was stunned, but still shook his head and said, ��Little Brother did it in order to save us. Even if I, Mo Qingshan, am less than an animal, I also can��t do this sort of thing! Little Brother, you quickly leave! After the Sentry Celestial Palace��s divine official comes, you won��t be able to leave! Divine officials are late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, you��re not a match!��


    In the Ziwei Sect, the strongest one was also Mo Qingshan this sect master.


    His cultivation realm was also merely Sixth Firmament Heavenly Emperor. There was still a fine line away from a late-stage Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    An Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse coming over could virtually sweep everything away!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��Do you think that I��m joking with you? If you don��t kidnap me over, I��ll destroy your Ziwei Sect today!��


    Mo Qingshan��s expression suddenly changed, immediately feeling tremendous pressure!


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, destroying an unremarkable Ziwei Sect was really too easy.


    Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a young man stepped forward crisply.


    The young man said, ��S-Senior, are you thinking of �� going to destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace?��


    Ye Yuan looked at this young man rather surprisedly. He remembered that this young man was precisely one of Ziwei Sect��s geniuses who was about to be executed.


    Just now, he even had his hands tied behind his back. But now, he was released.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��A little interesting, what��s your name?��


    He did not expect that among this bunch of obsequious people, there was actually still one who could see through his thoughts.


    His thought was not hard to guess. It was just that for these people, wanting to guess correctly was hard.


    Because they never thought of revolting before at all.


    The young man said respectfully, ��Junior is Qin Chao!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Mn, you guessed correctly, I��m precisely going to destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace!��


    Qin Chao had a solemn look as he said, ��I know the path to the Sentry Celestial Palace. Junior will lead the way for you!��


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��You aren��t afraid of death?��


    Qin Chao nodded and said, ��Of course I��m scared! But Junior has already had enough of this kind of days! With our human race not resisting, we��ll always be treated as pigs and sheep. If they aren��t happy, they will slaughter and eat! Moreover, Senior saved this junior��s beloved earlier. Junior is willing to repay with death!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze could not help looking in Mo Xiaocao��s direction and discovered that she also had a look of surprise.


    Clearly, this was just Qin Chao��s unrequited love.


    In the Ziwei Sect, those who liked Mo Xiaocao, there were also 800 if there weren��t 1000.


    Qin Chao was merely one of them.


    However, these two people��s conversation made everyone stare dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    What the Sentry Celestial Palace represented was the divine race!


    Touching the Sentry Celestial Palace was tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger maws of the divine race!


    At that time, the divine race��s upper echelons would surely be shaken.


    Disregarding this, Ye Yuan was merely Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor. Even if he killed a divine envoy, what right did he have to go and destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace?


    Of course, the human race being oppressed for a long time, there would also be people who overestimated their own ability, going to provoke the divine race.


    The final outcome naturally went without saying.


    This young man was definitely another one of them.


    He was seeking death here and Qin Chao actually wanted to go together with him!


    ��Qin Chao, what are you messing around for?�� Mo Qingshan said angrily.


    Him not daring to flare up with Ye Yuan did not mean that he did not dare to get angry with Qin Chao.


    Qin Chao smiled miserably and he said, ��Master, you turn back and look. That��s your daughter! The divine race wanted to violate your daughter and you actually allowed them to take her away freely! Also, you all! How many among you all like Junior Apprentice Sister Xiaocao? But did any one of you step forward?��


    ��Senior saved us and saved your beloved Junior Apprentice Sister Xiaocao. But none of you thanked him, and even wanted to blame him for being a busybody, implicating our Ziwei Sect! We��re humans! Proud and dignified humans, not pigs and dogs! Not fish and meat! The divine race treats us as pigs and dogs, could it be that we also have to treat ourselves as pigs and dogs? I��m already someone who has died once, what��s the harm in going to die again with Senior?��


    Qin Chao��s words echoed loudly.


    Many Ziwei Sect disciples lowered their heads in shame.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he could not help revealing a look of approval.


    In this era, it was precisely because there were many iron-blooded men like Qin Chao, that there was the human race��s future!


    Ziwei Sect was merely an epitome of the era.


    There were many many Ziwei Sects in the world.


    Even if each sect only produced one Qin Chao, it was an extremely powerful force as well.


    ��Senior, I��ll bring you!�� Qin Chao turned and said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head smilingly and said, ��Let��s go.��


    Ziwei Sect��s ten thousand people send these two people away with their eyes.


    In the crowd, Mo Xiaocao��s eyes sparkled, as if knowing this Qin Chao this senior apprentice brother for the first time.


    �� ��


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was absorbed in thought. But Qin Chao��s emotions started to change.


    In the beginning, he had the solemness and melancholy of the wind howling and the waters turning cold, the brave warriors never returning.


    But as they got closer and closer to the Sentry Celestial Palace, his breathing also gradually became ragged.


    Clearly, he was starting to get nervous and scared.


    The might of the divine race was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every human, unable to disperse.


    Qin Chao��s hot blood was surging at the beginning, that was why he would disregard everything.


    But when he really arrived at Sentry Celestial Palace, he started to get fidgety again.


    Ye Yuan did not notice his changes but fell into contemplation.


    ��I already fell into the chaotic spacetime. Then is this world real or fake?��


    ��If it��s fake, how should I return to my own world?��


    ��If it��s real, then will my actions here change the course of history, and let the human race go in another direction?��


    ��If I really change history, then will �� I still exist or not?��


    �� ��


    Countless doubts lingered in his heart.


    He passed through spacetime and arrived. He was just a tiny butterfly.


    Then would he, this small butterfly, make the experiences of future generations, all change?


    This was really a profound question.

 Chapter 2375 - Space Freeze!

    ��S-Senior, we��ve arrived!�� When Qin Chao saw Ye Yuan pondering, he reminded cautiously.


    Ye Yuan came back to his senses, gave Qin Chao a look, and said with a smile, ��You��re scared?��


    Qin Chao had a look of embarrassment and said smilingly, ��A �� A little scared. We��re going all by ourselves, so it��s �� it��s no different from seeking death. I know that Senior is very formidable, but there��s more than just one Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse in the Sentry Celestial Palace! Although I don��t fear death, such a meaningless death is indeed somewhat not worth it.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You��re right. Dying like this doesn��t have any meaning at all.��


    Qin Chao was taken aback and said, ��Senior��s meaning is �� not going anymore?��


    He was very perplexed, could it be that Senior also shrink back?


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��But who told you that we��re going to court death?��


    Qin Chao��s eyes lit up and he said in wild ecstasy, ��Could it be that Senior even hide a large army? Haha, what am I saying �� Senior is wise. So how can you possibly do this kind of suicidal stupid thing?��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, ��What army is there? You��re thinking too much. Come on.��


    This was a place with extremely rich spiritual energy. A majestic palace was hidden in the clouds, appearing mysterious and having experienced the many vicissitudes of life.


    This place was the Sentry Celestial Palace that made all races terrified at the sight of it!


    ��Stop! Who is it, to dare trespass the Sentry Celestial Palace?��


    Several figures suddenly appeared, stopping Ye Yuan two people.


    These few people were all middle-stage Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses. Except, they were all humans!


    Ye Yuan looked at them, his brows furrowing as he said to Qin Chao, ��Why would there be humans in the Sentry Celestial Palace?��


    Qin Chao looked at Ye Yuan with eyes like looking at a freak and said, ��Doesn��t Senior know that many human powerhouses will serve the divine race? In fact, they even become the divine race��s thugs, acting with utter disregard for human life. They are all the human race��s traitors!��


    One of them said in a great rage, ��Insolence! The divine race is the messenger of heaven, towering above the myriad races! Serving them is something that each race should do! Brat who��s still wet behind your ears, just based on this one sentence, you deserve death!��


    Puff!


    His voice had yet to fade, and he was already killed by countless streaks of sword light.


    There would always be some who would drag out an ignorable existence.


    There were always some who would betray their race.


    Ye Yuan understood, but he was very upset!


    Some things were bigger than dragging out an ignorable existence!


    If it were Ye Yuan, he would rather die than be the divine race��s lackey.


    When the other Heavenly Emperors saw Ye Yuan attack so viciously, and so powerfully, each and every one of them shuddered with fear.


    A Heavenly Emperor powerhouse yelled out at the top of his voice, ��You �� You dare to kill people in the Sentry Celestial Palace? Don��t you want to live anymore? Come, men! Somebody wants to rebel!��


    His voice instantly spread throughout the Sentry Celestial Palace.


    Qin Chao��s expression changed greatly and he cried out in alarm, ��Not good! The divine race��s powerhouses have all been alarmed! Senior, let��s hurry up and go!��


    But Ye Yuan did not leave and said smilingly, ��What are you panicking for? I��m looking forward for them to come!��


    It was also just several breaths of time, Qin Chao two people were already surrounded by dozens of divine race powerhouses.


    Naturally, there were more of the various races�� Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. Their numbers reached as many as close to 100.


    Among them, there were even quite a few who already reached late-stage Heavenly Emperor.


    Seeing this kind of horrifying line-up, Qin Chao was frightened until his face turned pale.


    He was merely just a puny little Empyrean. How could he have seen before such a horrifying line-up?


    Anyone of them stepping forward, just moving a little finger and he would be dead.


    An Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm who was wearing beautiful embroidered clothing slowly stepped out of the ranks. Staring at Ye Yuan, he said coldly, ��Where did this impudent brat come from, to dare run to my Sentry Celestial Palace to cause trouble, got tired of leaving?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and shook his head and said, ��Cause trouble? No, no, no, I��m not here to cause trouble.��


    The other party smiled coldly and said, ��You killed someone within the confines of the Sentry Celestial Palace, still dare to say that you��re not causing trouble? Dared to kill someone, don��t have the guts to admit it now?��


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and smiled as he said, ��I��m really not here to cause trouble. I��m just �� here to destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned.


    Soon after, they erupted with a burst of loud laughter.


    ��He said, destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace! Hahaha, this joke is really hilarious!��


    ��Where did this kid pop out from? Did he see that we��re bored and specially come to tell us jokes?��


    ��Destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace! It��s really my first time hearing such a funny joke in so many years!��


    �� ��


    Forget about destroying the Sentry Celestial Palace, even killing a divine envoy, the Ziwei Sect felt like a hole was poked in the sky.


    Therefore, the lethality of Ye Yuan��s words could be imagined.


    They seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing non-stop.


    Suddenly, a human powerhouse in the crowd said, ��Eh, I seem to have seen that kid beside him before. It��s the Ziwei Sect!��


    When Qin Chao heard that, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    He thought that he was just a nameless nobody and no one would recognize him at all.


    But who would have thought that he was still recognized by someone?


    His feelings toward the Ziwei Sect were very deep and did not wish to implicate the Ziwei Sect.


    If it was learned by these Sentry Celestial Palace people that he was part of the Ziwei Sect, the Ziwei Sect would surely suffer annihilation!


    The divine race in brocade said in a thunderous rage, ��Ziwei Sect? Heh heh, what immense gall! After killing these two brats, the Ziwei Sect don��t have a need to exist in this world anymore as well.��


    Just as Qin Chao was panicking and at a loss on what to do, Ye Yuan lightly patted his shoulder and said smilingly, ��Relax, no one will know that you��re from the Ziwei Sect.��


    Everyone was stunned, was this kid stupid?


    Everyone already knew, how could no one know?


    ��Space �� freeze!��


    Just as everyone was in a daze, Ye Yuan snapped his fingers slightly. Space seemed to be like the surface of water with a layer of ripple oscillating.


    Immediately, the expressions of all the divine race and human powerhouses changed wildly!


    ��Not good, this is space freeze! We �� We can��t traverse through the void anymore!��


    Everyone was immensely shocked, the gazes that looked toward Ye Yuan had horrified looks.


    They did not think that Ye Yuan actually comprehended spatial law to such a terrifying realm.


    The gaze of the divine race member in brocade turned intent and he said in a solemn voice, ��Panicking for? Even if he freezes space, can he deal with so many of us by himself? Heh, looks like this is the newly emerged peerless genius of the human race. Killing him will be a great achievement!��


    ��Yes, Palace Lord!��


    The moment everyone heard that this was the case, they immediately put away the looks of alarm and panic. What replaced it was greedy eyes.


    This divine race member in brocade was Sentry Celestial Palace��s palace lord, a peak Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse!


    This kind of powerhouse, his strength was already not much weaker than Nineorigin��s.


    These Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, were all in a mad rush to be the first, rushing over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent, faintly spitting two words out of his mouth again, ��Sword, come!��


    ��My sword! Why �� Why isn��t it listening to orders anymore!�� Those powerhouses who used the sword were all horrified.


    Their swords actually broke out of their hands involuntarily and flew towards Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, the flying swords within the confines of the entire Sentry Celestial Palace all flew toward Ye Yuan.


    For a moment, the entire sky was full of sword shadows dancing everywhere.

 Chapter 2376 - Sources Emerging in Unison to Destroy the Celestial Palace!

    ��Sword Dao source! Formation Dao source! Spatial source! Just �� Just who the hell is this guy?��


    ��When did such a heaven-defying genius appear in the human race? Why doesn��t the divine race have any news at all?��


    ��Too terrifying! If such a genius grows up, he��ll surely be a mortal calamity to my divine race!��


    �� ��


    Regardless of whether it was the divine race or human race powerhouses, after seeing such a commotion, each and every one of their faces turned ashen.


    A Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor brat actually comprehended three great sources. Among them, there was even a supreme law!


    This kind of talent was simply too terrifying.


    Sentry Celestial Palace��s palace lord��s gaze was full of solemness as he thought to himself, ��No way! I��ve got to kill this brat! Otherwise, he��ll become my divine race��s mortal calamity!��


    ��Attack together, kill this punk!�� Sentry Celestial Palace Lord did not hesitate in the slightest as he gave the order.


    Although the commotion that Ye Yuan put forth was very scary, how could it really scare Sentry Celestial Palace Lord, this kind of existence?


    With Sentry Celestial Palace Lord��s strength, challenging ten human Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperors alone was also nothing difficult, let alone Ye Yuan, this Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    Under his word of command, the numerous powerhouses each displayed their divine abilities.


    Although they were not able to traverse through the void, it did not affect them from executing their means.


    Especially late-stage Eight-marks powerhouses of the divine race, that kind of power was simply several levels higher.


    Qin Chao stood beside Ye Yuan, his expression incomparably pale like paper paste.


    When had he seen before this kind of terrifying battle?


    ��You don��t resist, listen to my arrangements, otherwise, I can��t guarantee your safety.��


    Ye Yuan��s voice came over leisurely, making Qin Chao��s heart turned somber.


    Facing so many powerhouses, he was actually so calm and collected.


    As if what was in front of him were not divine race powerhouses, but a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs!


    ��True Nirvana Sword Formation, arise!��


    Ye Yuan raised his fingertips, the terrifying sword formation suddenly condenses.


    In an instant, the entire sky became a brutal battlefield!


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    ��Ahhh!!��


    �� ��


    The screams were continuous. Those human powerhouses, including late-stage Heavenly Emperor mighty experts, were totally like paper paste inside the sword formation, a swath dying in an instant.


    One had to know, even an unpredictable child like Pang Zhen could not last too long inside Ye Yuan��s sword formation too. So let alone these people?


    Those unpredictable children, which one was not a Seventh Firmament or Eighth Firmament Heavenly Emperor super powerhouse?


    Compared to the unpredictable children, these humans were too ordinary.


    Sentry Celestial Palace Lord��s pupils constricted, being shocked by the scene in front of him.


    He never thought that a human could be so powerful too!


    This kind of leapfrogging realms to battle, the means to mass-kill enemies, even he, a member of the divine race, could not do it too!


    The divine race was strong, but could the divine race��s geniuses kill so many late-stage Heavenly Emperor powerhouses with a wave of a hand at Ye Yuan��s realm?


    Absolutely impossible!


    The more he witnessed Ye Yuan��s means, the greater the shock in his heart.


    After the humans finished dying, it was the divine race��s turn.


    The divine race similarly could not hold out for long in the sword formation.


    Those terrifying means could not unleash their power in the sword formation at all.


    The present True Nirvana Sword Formation was integrated into the spatial source by Ye Yuan, its power rising once more.


    Three great sources fusing into one, the power was simply unimaginable.


    The True Nirvana Sword Formation after being strengthened, was simply without any weaknesses to exploit!


    At this moment, Sentry Celestial Palace Lord finally felt the threat of death.


    He wanted to escape, but space was already frozen. Coupled with the harassment of the sword formation, he had no opportunity to escape at all!


    Space freezing, it was equivalent to that this region of space was already controlled by Ye Yuan.


    Being unable to utilize the power of space, just by relying on his own divine essence to fly, there was no way to escape at all.


    ��No way! I have to send this news out! Otherwise, there will surely be a catastrophe in the future!��


    Thinking up to here, Sentry Celestial Palace Lord no longer hesitated, taking out a white crystal in his hand.


    Instant Message Crystal!


    This was the divine race��s most urgent communication method. Once activated, it could send news back to the upper Sentry Celestial Palace within a day.


    Sentry Celestial Palace Lord muttered under his breath, ��Skysouth has a child who comprehended three great sources; a huge disaster! Quickly send Nine-marks to come and kill!��


    Pah!


    Finished talking, Sentry Celestial Palace Lord directly crushed the Instant Message Crystal. One white rune after another disappeared in a flash.


    These pieces of information actually passed through Ye Yuan��s spatial freeze!


    ��Haha, brat, even if you kill us, you��re also dead for sure! After the message reaches the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace, your death date will arrive!�� Sentry Celestial Palace Lord said with a cold laugh.


    He already no longer had any confidence with regards to Ye Yuan.


    Because he unleashed all of his abilities and was actually unable to break through Ye Yuan��s sword formation.


    Ye Yuan had long noticed Sentry Celestial Palace Lord��s activities. Hearing that, he just said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh, is that so? You take a look behind you.��


    Suddenly, Sentry Celestial Palace Lord��s expression changed wildly, his eyes revealing a look of horror.


    It was only to see that those runes were currently staying at a distance 1000 feet behind him, crawling like a tortoise, not flying out of the range of the sword formation at all.


    His pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��T-Time law! You �� are you still human?��


    It was precisely time law!


    Those runes could pass through spatial law, but could not stop time law!


    Under time law, the originally lightning-quick runes became like tortoises now.


    The current time law was no longer 1:30.


    1:30 was unable to stop such a fast Instant Message Crystal too.


    The localized time law in front of them already reached an astonishing 1:100!


    Ye Yuan being swept into the spacetime turbulence was indeed incomparably perilous, but it also let him obtain tremendous benefits.


    Regardless of whether it was time law or spatial law, he had great insights while in the spacetime turbulence.


    Puchi!


    More than a dozen streaks of cold light flashed past, slicing the white runes into countless pieces.


    Sentry Celestial Palace Lord��s complexion was ashen. He looked toward Ye Yuan in amazement, as if looking at a freak.


    ��Alright, I can send you all on your way now!�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, his words full of indifference.


    �� ��


    Very soon, a piece of shocking news resounded throughout Skysouth!


    Skysouth Sentry Celestial Palace was completely destroyed by someone. Not even fowls and dogs were left!


    All of the people including Sentry Celestial Palace Lord had perished!


    This news was like a wind, sweeping throughout the entire Southern Border very quickly.


    For a moment, everyone from all races, they were discussing this matter.


    They were shocked by this news. Because no one had ever been able to destroy a Sentry Celestial Palace before.


    What was scarier was that no traces were left behind at all.


    No one knew who on earth did it.


    ��Being able to destroy the Sentry Celestial Palace and not leave behind the slightest hint of traces, it��s probably at least a Deva Second Blight powerhouse, right?��


    ��Pooh! Can a Deva Second Blight stop the Instant Message Crystal? Even for Deva Fifth Blights, those able to accomplish it are extremely few too, right?��


    ��Then �� who on earth did it? This matter is truly an epoch-making huge incident.��


    �� ��


    The various races were excited. They were just the general public, but they were similarly people who had been oppressed and humiliated.


    This action of Ye Yuan was simply invigorating.


    They did not dare to speak out but expressed incomparably joy in private.


    Finally, the situation gave vent to frustration!


    However, when this news was spread back to the Ziwei Sect, the entire sect was deathly silent!

 Chapter 2377 - Agitating the World!

    ��Qin Chao they all, they really succeeded! How is this possible?��


    ��The scary thing isn��t that they succeeded, but that the Sentry Celestial Palace didn��t even send the news out!��


    ��Just who the hell was that young man? Also, how did he do it?��


    �� ��


    Countless doubts lingered in the hearts of everyone in Ziwei Sect.


    They wished to capture Qin Chao back right now and ask him what in the world was going on.


    This young man appeared too abruptly.


    His strength was formidable until it made people��s hair stand on end.


    Too mysterious!


    In the entire Skysouth region, only their Ziwei Sect knew what had happened.


    But they also did not know anything.


    However, what was fortunate was that as long as the news did not leak out, their Ziwei Sect would at least not suffer a catastrophic disaster.


    This was because the divine race did not know what happened too. They naturally would not associate it with them.


    But Mo Qingshan was also worried. Concerning the matter of the Sentry Celestial Palace being destroyed, upstairs would know sooner or later.


    At that time, the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace would surely be furious. Which sect would suffer a disaster would be hard to say.


    ��Sect Master, why aren��t you speaking?�� When everyone was discussing fiercely, someone noticed that Mo Qingshan was currently being silent, and could not resist asking.


    Mo Qingshan��s expression flickered slightly and he said, ��I��m was thinking, turns out that the divine race isn��t undefeatable too!��


    Suddenly, it was deathly silent inside the Ziwei Sect��s main hall.


    Yeah, it turned out that the divine race was not invincible!


    It was true that they were a powerful race, but they would die too!


    Mo Qingshan��s words were like a plague, spreading in everyone��s hearts.


    But he ignored everyone��s surprise and continued saying: ��These few days, I��ve been thinking about Qin Chao��s words. The more I think, the more inhumane I feel that I am! I didn��t even dare to protect my own daughter, am I still considered human? What he said is right, we��re humans, not animals reared by the divine race! We are already numbed until we��re without guts anymore! And this is probably what the divine race hopes to see the most, right?��


    Someone immediately retorted, ��But Sect Master, although that kid can do it, it doesn��t mean that we can do it too! The divine race is too strong!��


    Mo Qingshan nodded his head and said, ��Yes, so we need to become strong!��


    Similar words were playing out in the Skysouth��s various sects.


    Ye Yuan��s action of destroying the Sentry Celestial Palace, was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in the hearts of everyone in Skysouth!


    The various races were weak, viewing the divine race as the messengers of heaven.


    This was the subliminal psychology that the divine race��s countless years of great pressure brought to the various races.


    The divine race was invincible!


    But, when a person came soaring into existence and shattered this myth, it would give people a fierce impact.


    This, was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, bringing a trace of faint light.


    This light would eventually bloom, returning light to the world!


    And Ye Yuan was this dawn!


    �� ��


    In a spirit mountain, Qin Chao already completely transformed into a little fanboy.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan brandishing his sword, his eyes full of worship!


    Presently, Ye Yuan was like that unexpected glimpse of a beauty in his eyes, being stunning to the extreme.


    In that battle, he had a taste of Ye Yuan��s calm and collected killing technique inside the sword formation. Ye Yuan was just like a celestial deity.


    Only then did he know it turns out that humans could be so powerful!


    The Heavenly Dao��s messengers in their eyes were totally clay chickens and pottery dogs under Ye Yuan��s sword!


    Who were those that Ye Yuan killed?


    Peak Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm super powerhouses! Furthermore, more than one!


    One person taking on a group by himself!


    That sort of heroism, that sort of aura which showed disdain on all under the heavens, was already deeply imprinted in Qin Chao��s heart, unable to dispel.


    What pleasantly surprised him even more, was that Ye Yuan was actually willing to teach him sword art!


    Qin Chao was famous for sword arts in the Ziwei Sect, his talent extremely high.


    Of course, this was relative to the Ziwei Sect.


    When Qin Chao made this request weakly, Ye Yuan agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    For no reason other than that he could step forward bravely, and go to the Sentry Celestial Palace together with him.


    But after teaching Qin Chao swordsmanship, he discovered that Qin Chao��s Sword Dao talent was truly astonishing.


    His previous strength being too weak was because the Ziwei Sect��s swordsmanship was too lousy.


    Now, Ye Yuan��s horizons were extremely high. He helped Qin Chao improve his cultivation method and taught him to comprehend Sword Dao.


    As a result, Qin Chao��s swordsmanship advanced at a tremendous pace.


    Ye Yuan also could not help sighing emotionally when he saw this scene. The talents of ancient geniuses were indeed not what later generations could compare to!


    However, Ye Yuan also had an idea in his heart.


    The spiritual energy abundance in this era was also far from what later generations could compare to.


    The current Heavenspan World and the Heavenspan World of succeeding generations were also very different in terms of topography.


    The damage caused to the Heavenspan World by the Doomsday Battle was too great!


    That battle fought until space shattered, causing galaxies in sore straits.


    Only all the way until tens of billions of years later did it gradually recover back to normal.


    However, that era that Ye Yuan was born in, things had already recovered a lot. Geniuses such as Wan Zhen also emerged crazily.


    In terms of talent, Wan Zhen should not lose to any genius of this era!


    Being able to perfectly fuse Five Element Laws, even when placed in this era, he was also a top genius.


    As long as Wan Zhen was given time, he could definitely grow into an existence who could resist progenitor level.


    Unfortunately, there was already not much time.


    ��Senior, it turns out that sword art can still be used this way! You��re really too incredible! If Junior can learn 1% of yours, I won��t fear those divine race members too!�� Qin Chao said excitedly.


    The swordsmanship that Ye Yuan used made him have a feeling of being filled with wisdom.


    Only at this time did he understand that it turned out, so many applications were still hidden in Sword Dao.


    For some time, he drew inferences from one fact, all kinds of wonderful ideas surfacing in his mind.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The power of laws isn��t the more the better. If you specialize in Sword Dao, when you reach the level of rules in the future, even the divine race��s ancestors will also somewhat dread you!��


    Qin Chao��s hot blood was boiling when he heard that. A look of enrapture was on his face.


    Ye Yuan��s guidance opened up another window for him.


    ��Alright, it��s almost time, we should head out,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Qin Chao was taken aback and said, ��Senior, where are we going?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��To destroy Sentry Celestial Palaces!��


    Qin Chao��s entire body trembled and he said, ��Still destroying? Your Excellency, isn��t it too dangerous? What if, we run into Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse ����


    Ye Yuan smiled confidently and said, ��If I want to go, can he stop me?��


    Qin Chao��s expression relaxed. Nodding his head like a chicken pecking for rice, He said, ��Of course he can��t! Hahaha ����


    Several days later, the southern border central region Sentry Celestial Palaces were all destroyed!


    Another half a month later, the western region Sentry Celestial Palaces were all destroyed!


    �� ��


    Before Ye Yuan moved out, a Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse led a team and just descended upon the Skysouth region, planning on starting to investigate the matter of the Sentry Celestial Palaces being completely destroyed when one news after another came in quick succession.


    The Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm was instantly flustered.


    Investigate what crap!


    An area at the Sentry Celestial Palace being completely destroyed could still be a coincidence.


    But dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces being destroyed in a row, this sort of thing was definitely a huge conspiracy!


    They had no way of investigating even if they wanted to as well.


    Because this was not a matter of the Skysouth.


    People in all the lands of the southern border were instantly seething with excitement!

 Chapter 2378 - Senior is Going to the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace!

    ��Investigate! Even if you dig three feet below the ground, you also have to find them for me!��


    At the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace, Palace Lord Originbright was unbelievably furious.


    Three months had already passed, the southern border��s dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces were destroyed by someone.


    But they did not find even a trace of inkling.


    Originbright could not understand no matter how he thought. A faction that could destroy dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces in three months, how could they possibly not leave any clues behind at all?


    These dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces seemed to have evaporated into thin air.


    Just the divine race��s experts had a thousand people who died!


    One had to know, those were all late-stage Eight-marks mighty experts!


    This kind of loss had never appeared before in tens of millions of years to the divine race.


    The incident this time was too big.


    The subordinate said gloomily, ��But, Your Excellency, this matter �� have no way to get started with the investigations! The Sentry Celestial Palaces that were destroyed, not only was everyone killed, even all the precious information inside the Sentry Celestial Palaces was also completely erased by people.��


    Originbright��s expression was grim until it was almost about to drip water. He said in a cold voice, ��Didn��t this matter start from the Skysouth region? Then start investigating from the Skysouth region! Go and question one sect after another. Can��t find out, kill for me! Still can��t, then destroy for me! Destroy one sect after another! Either way, the propagation ability of these ants is extremely strong and can��t be killed off. I want to see whether they are scared of death or not!��


    ��Yes!��


    ��Also, pass this matter back to the clan. Ask Celestial Master Miluo to divine it! I keep feeling that this incident is somewhat unusual!��


    ��Yes!��


    Very soon, a sanguinary suppression was set off in the Skysouth region.


    The divine race investigated the whole story of the Sentry Celestial Palaces in an extremely violent manner.


    Several major sects had their sects destroyed because they could not find out anything!


    For some time, everyone felt imperiled.


    Of course, the more frightened one was naturally still the Ziwei Sect.


    The Ziwei Sect��s status was not considered high in Skysouth. It was not their turn for a while.


    But the incident this time, the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace sent out a lot of manpower.


    Checking until the Ziwei Sect was also just a matter of time.


    In the Ziwei Sect, voices of discontent were heard everywhere.


    ��That guy only knows how to kill to his heart��s content, but he put us in a dangerous situation!��


    ��Too irresponsible! This guy poked a hole in the sky, but wants us to bear the consequences!��


    ��Sect Master, we should go and report that kid! As long as we turn him over, the matter this time should be considered over! Otherwise, we��ll face a catastrophic disaster!��


    �� ��


    In Ziwei Sect��s main hall, there were complaints about Ye Yuan everywhere.


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s action of destroying the Sentry Celestial Palace, they previously still felt delighted.


    But now, facing the divine race��s bloody revenge, they could not feel happy anymore.


    Hearing these words, Mo Qingshan said with a gloomy look, ��Report? Is your brain broken? You��re going to tell the disciples that the divine envoy died in our Ziwei Sect? Or are you going to tell divine race that our Ziwei Sect��s disciple is bringing that kid around everywhere to destroy Sentry Celestial Palaces?��


    The expression of the elder who spoke previously had an embarrassed expression on his face.


    He blurted it out previously without running it through his brain.


    Now, hearing Mo Qingshan said it, he discovered that there was no way to whistle-blow at all!


    Not saying, the Ziwei Sect might still survive.


    Saying it, they would die without a doubt!


    Just as everyone was at a loss on what to do, a weak voice suddenly sounded out in the hall.


    ��Martial Uncles, I think �� I should be able to guess why that Senior did this.��


    Everyone looked over. It was the Mo Xiaocao who was sitting in the corner.


    Mo Xiaocao was also one of Ziwei Sect��s geniuses, her cultivation talent extremely high.


    Therefore, she had the qualifications to sit in this main hall too.


    Mo Qingshan looked at his daughter rather surprisedly. He knew that his daughter had always been very clever. She might have some brilliant insights this time.


    ��Xiaocao, tell us about it!�� Mo Qingshan said.


    Mo Xiaocao nodded slightly and said, ��Firstly, Senior destroying so many Sentry Celestial Palaces might be to save our Ziwei sect! Everyone, don��t get agitated. Listen to Xiaocao slowly tell you. If he didn��t destroy the Skysouth Sentry Celestial Palace, our Ziwei Sect will definitely be exterminated. But just destroying the Skysouth Sentry Celestial Palace, investigating until the Ziwei Sect is still not difficult! But if dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces are destroyed in a row, and no traces are revealed at all, it would be virtually impossible to investigate until our Ziwei Sect.��


    Originally, hearing this opinion of saving the Ziwei Sect, everyone wanted to refute it.


    But, after hearing Mo Xiaocao��s analysis, everyone thought about it. It was really the case.


    Someone questioned, ��But why did he do things to this extent for our Ziwei Sect?��


    A hint of brilliance flashed across in Mo Xiaocao��s eyes and she said, ��Naturally, it��s because of Qin Chao! I can tell that Senior admires Qin Chao very much! Of course, he originally never planned on implicating our Ziwei Sect either. Otherwise, he wouldn��t have said to have us abduct him to the Sentry Celestial Palace.��


    The others exchanged glances, abashed expressions suddenly revealing on their faces.


    Mo Xiaocao��s analysis was very reasonable.


    He was thinking of how to save them, but they were grumbling about him here, and they even wanted to report him.


    Mo Xiaocao continued, ��Of course, Senior��s intention is probably not merely just so!��


    Mo Qingshan��s gaze flickered slightly and he said, ��What other intention does he still have?��


    Mo Xiaocao said, ��A shot arrow has no way of recalling! Since this matter has started, it can��t be settled anymore already! Therefore, this senior should be deliberately making a big deal out of things and making everyone know about it! He wants to tell us that the divine race isn��t invincible. He wants to awaken everyone��s hot-bloodedness and have everyone join forces to deal with the divine race together!��


    Talking up to here, Mo Xiaocao��s face also revealed a hint of respect and said, ��This senior doesn��t look old, but his breadth of vision is bigger than the sky! He, is genuinely thinking about humanity��s future!��


    At this time, Mo Qingshan slowly stood up. Everyone could not help being taken aback,


    ��Sect Master, what are you doing?��


    Mo Qingshan said, ��I feel that what Xiaocao said is very reasonable! I��ll go and pay a visit to the various sects�� sect masters and hope that they can unite and deal with the divine race together!��


    Actually, there was no need for Mo Qingshan to take the lead. The divine race��s sanguinary suppression already made the various major sects unable to sit still anymore.


    This time, the divine race was clearly extremely furious.


    Therefore, they did not have the slightest scruples when taking action too.


    The moment they killed, it was in droves.


    In their eyes, these sect disciples were simply a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.


    Not happy, they would just kill!


    Hence, the leaders of these sects came to an agreement very quickly, and planned on joining hands to deal with the divine race together!


    Ye Yuan slaughtering dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces in a row already planted seeds in the hearts of all the various sects�� leaders.


    When the oppression reached the limit, even pigs and sheep would also rise in revolt.


    But, just as these sects reached an agreement and were about to make a move, Qin Chao returned!


    He came back alone. When Mo Qingshan saw Qin Chao again, he felt like he had met another person.


    Not seeing for a few short months, he felt like Qin Chao already underwent a thorough change!


    ��Senior went to the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace!��


    Qin Chao��s first words when he saw Mo Qingshan made everyone incredibly shocked.

 Chapter 2379 - Coming Elegantly, Leaving Suavely!

    ��Palace Lord, things are bad! Someone forcibly barged into our Sentry Celestial Palace!��


    ��Panicking for? Talking properly, who��s the arrival, how is his strength?��


    ��T-The arrival is a young man, can��t tell his age. His strength is F-Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!��


    ��Are those human guards all drawing salary without doing any work? Can��t even deal with a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor? Also, why are you reporting to me about everything, what are you thinking? You go and find Yuan Zhen, have him go!��


    ��L-Lord Yuan Zhen has already been killed by him!��


    ��What did you say!��


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen was already killed by that young man. Not just that, Yuan Jie, Lu Feng they all are all dead! Furthermore �� he even identified you by name, and he wants to meet the palace lord, you! He said that he��s the main culprit behind the destruction of the dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces!��


    ��What did you say? He alone exterminated dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces? What a joke!��


    Originbright��s shock was by no means insignificant/


    He had once imagined countless possibilities, but he only did not think that dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces were actually destroyed by a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!


    When did the human race produce such a terrifying genius?


    Originbright did not quite dare to believe it, but he knew that it was impossible for his subordinate to deceive him.


    Even Yuan Zhen died, what was impossible about him destroying dozens of Sentry Celestial Palaces?


    ��Go! Go out and take a look!�� Done talking, his figure moved, and he went out of the Sentry Celestial Palace.


    �� ��


    In midair, a youth in white garment stood with his hands behind his back, countless flying swords hanging around him, his sword energy threatening!


    Those human and divine race experts, not one dared to approach him. They could only wander around him.


    Seeing this scene, Originbright believed it.


    His gaze landed on Ye Yuan, and he said in a solemn voice, ��It��s you who destroyed my divine race��s 18 Sentry Celestial Palaces?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s me.��


    Originbright laughed coldly and said, ��Looks like Skysouth��s events made you unable to sit still anymore! Since you did it, you must already have some sort of awareness, right?��


    Originbright was not stupid. With Ye Yuan suddenly jumping out at this time, he must have sympathized with Skysouth��s humans.


    This sort of humans who resisted the divine race, they had seen plenty of them.


    It was just that Ye Yuan seemed to be a little more troublesome.


    But it did not matter as well, since Ye Yuan came, this matter was considered over.


    Although the divine race��s losses were huge this time, being able to destroy such a terrifying genius was also worth it!


    Otherwise, after this guy grew up until Deva Fifth Blight, that would be very tricky.


    However, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Come to what awareness? I think that you��ve misunderstood, I came just to inform you that Skysouth��s matters can end now. Otherwise, the entire southern border��s Sentry Celestial Palaces will be destroyed by me. Of course, if you have that many Nine-marks powerhouses, you can dispatch one to every Sentry Celestial Palace.��


    Arrogant!


    Looking down on everyone and everything!


    Facing a middle-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm super powerhouse, Ye Yuan thought nothing of him at all!


    He did not come to surrender himself. He came to pick a quarrel!


    All of the divine race members opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Was this kid crazy?


    He thought that he could escape from Lord Originbright��s hands?


    Ye Yuan went on a massacre earlier. They thought that it was just Ye Yuan��s deathbed struggle. That was all.


    They did not expect that after he saw Lord Originbright, he still dared to be so impudent!


    ��Hahaha ����


    When Originbright heard this, it was like he heard the most hilarious joke in this world, laughing wildly without ceasing.


    ��Brat, you��re very courageous! Being able to destroy 18 Sentry Celestial Palaces, you��re very strong too! But your understanding of Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm is too little! Eight-marks to Nine-marks isn��t your human Heavenly Emperor to Deva!�� Originbright laughed loudly as he said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It doesn��t make any difference to me. Alright, I��ve already said what should be said! If you dare to make a move against the human race again, then don��t blame me for going on a killing spree!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan turned around suavely and was about to leave like nobody��s business.


    Seeing this action, not a single one actually dared to stop him!


    These people were already intimidated by Ye Yuan��s killing.


    ��How can my Sentry Celestial Palace be a place that you can come and go as you please? Stay for me!��


    Originbright bellowed, the pressure of Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Relm suddenly releasing.


    A horrifying to the extreme aura instantly enveloped all the space in a 100 thousand mile radius!


    For Originbright to be able to suppress the entire southern boundary, how could his strength be ordinary?


    Even in the Profound Lineage, his strength could rank in the forefront too!


    The moment he took action, it was simply apocalyptic.


    Those human powerhouses almost felt like they could not breathe.


    This pressure represented Heavenly Dao, it was too terrifying!


    The divine race was able to suppress myriad races and regard themselves as Heavenly Dao��s envoys. This was also an extremely important aspect.


    However, facing such a horrifying Heavenly Dao pressure, Ye Yuan did not seem to feel anything, continuing to stroll away.


    Originbright snorted coldly, striding across the void with a flash and arriving.


    The speed was swift to the extreme!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Right at this moment, countless flying swords arrived in quick succession.


    True Nirvana Sword Formation, arise!


    It was just that this time, the True Nirvana Sword Formation that overpowered all sides, was unable to stop the powerful Originbright at all!


    Originbright was like a giant mountain. The moment those flying swords touched him, they immediately shattered to pieces.


    The flying swords rushed over but were unable to stop Originbright��s footsteps at all.


    In an instant, he arrived ten thousand feet of where Ye Yuan was.


    ��Haha, kid! This kind of means is still barely passable to deal with Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realms. But dealing with me, it��s too weak! Stay for me!��


    Amidst the wild laughter, Originbright suddenly felt that something was not quite right.


    He was clearly only ten thousand feet away from Ye Yuan.


    But his speed of advancing got slower and slower!


    Right under his nose, but seemingly far away on the horizon!


    ��Terrific lad, time law! No, wait, there��s also source spatial law! Spacetime synchronization, even I��m unable to easily break through either! Who the hell is this kid? When did such a monster appear among the human race?��


    It was not that Originbright was unable to break through. But for him to want to break through the constraints of spacetime in an instant, it was impossible.


    However, Ye Yuan did not need to entangle him.


    If he wanted to leave, no one could hold him back!


    Just like that, Ye Yuan moved ten thousand feet in a step, leaving the Sentry Celestial Palace like he was strolling idly in a courtyard!


    When his aura completely disappeared from everyone��s perception, only then, did everyone feel like they woke up from a dream!


    ��W-What a terrifying young man! He actually comprehended spacetime law! Furthermore, his spatial law even reached the level of source!��


    ��My God, even Lord Originbright personally moving out actually failed to hold him back too!��


    ��I still found it very funny when he was threatening Lord Originbright earlier. But now, I really can��t laugh anymore!��


    �� ��


    The threat previously, no one took it to heart.


    But at this moment, no one felt that Ye Yuan was joking.


    If really got on his nerves, he would really massacre the southern border��s Sentry Celestial Palaces clean!


    Send Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realms to garrison?


    You got to be kidding!


    Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realms were not cabbages either!


    There was no way to imagine how big the Heavenspan World was.


    Even if the divine race dispatched all of their Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realms, it was also impossible to guard every Sentry Celestial Palace.


    A subordinate asked carefully, ��P-Palace Lord, what should we do now?��


    Originbright��s expression was grim until it was practically dripping water.


    It was only to hear him say in a deep voice, ��Pull everyone back! Send the news out! If anyone dares to deal with the Sentry Celestial Palace again, none of the local sects will be spared!��

 Chapter 2380 - It Was Easier to Call Up an Evil Spirit Than to Allay It!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Senior said, he��ll take care of this matter! But everyone, please don��t forget. We��re humans, and not pigs and dogs! Resistance will have sacrifices, but not resisting �� we can only be pigs and dogs forever!��


    Facing the leaders of a group of sects, Qin Chao delivered Ye Yuan��s words calmly.


    But these people did not buy it.


    ��Humph! This matter was caused by him to begin with, it should be him bearing the responsibility himself!��


    ��For him to be able to come forward himself, at least he has a bit of conscience.��


    ��If not for him, would those few sects be destroyed?��


    ��Also, you, this brat, to actually dare provoke the divine race, you caused us to almost be destroyed too! Mo Qingshan, kill this kid and pay homage to those sects that were destroyed!��


    �� ��


    There were also a few sect masters who were silent. But the vast majority of the people felt that Ye Yuan was finding trouble, guiding the fire onto their heads.


    There were even sect masters who wanted to kill Qin Chao to vent their anger.


    To the vast majority of the humans, they had long already become numb.


    A living dog was better than a dead lion!


    Destroying Sentry Celestial Palaces this matter, although it had a great impact on them, it was hard to make them risk their lives for it.


    To the various races that have been bred in captivity for countless years, many of them had long already turned this sort of life into a habit.


    As long as they did not take the initiative to provoke the divine race, they would not kill people indiscriminately too.


    Right?


    Sure enough, when someone proposed to kill Qin Chao, many sect masters were eager to take action.


    Qin Chao did not have the least bit of fear. Instead, he responded with a sneer as he said, ��If you dare to touch a hair of mine, Senior will definitely go and destroy your sects! Those present today, not one can escape!��


    A sect master smiled coldly and said, ��He already went to the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace, he��s dead beyond a doubt. You��re still using him to threaten us?��


    Qin Chao had a disdainful look as he said, ��Who told you guys that he went to court death? He went to warn the divine race, to stop them from doing anything to the human race anymore!��


    That sect master laughed loudly and said, ��Are you kidding me? Southern Sentry Celestial Palace��s palace lord is a middle-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse, an existence even stronger than Deva Third Blight. You��re currently telling me that he can return.��


    Qin Chao said disdainfully, ��I, Qin Chao, merely have a lowly life. If Sect Master Wu dares to bet with your life, you can kill me right now!��


    Got to admit, this sentence of Qin Chao��s was very deadly.


    It was not that they believed Ye Yuan could return, but that they felt that their lives were much more valuable than Qin Chao��s.


    What if Ye Yuan really returned?


    Sect Master Wu��s face fell and he said, ��Not killing you, we can detain you temporarily! After news of that brat��s death arrives, I believe that you won��t get away by the skin of your teeth anymore, right?��


    Mo Qingshan��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Sect Master Wu, aren��t you taking this Mo too lightly?��


    Sect Master Wu said disdainfully, ��Doesn��t this matter all due to your Ziwei Sect��s fault? You guys kept the sects in the Skysouth region all in the dark, making multiple sects get annihilated because of you guys! We haven��t found you guys to settle the scores for this yet!��


    Sect Master Wu��s words immediately received many of the sects�� agreement.


    Hence, they decided to detain these master and disciple two people.


    After the news of Ye Yuan��s death arrived, they would punish the two, to serve as a warning to the others!


    While Qin Chao had a calm look and said to Mo Qingshan, ��Master, you rest assured! They detain us now, they will send us back respectfully later on!��


    Mo Qingshan had a suspicious look and said, ��That person was indeed very formidable. But Lord Originbright��s strength isn��t what those Sentry Celestial Palace��s palace lords can compare to!��


    �� ��


    The news of Ye Yuan being killed did not arrive, but even more explosive news came over.


    The main culprit who annihilated 18 Southern Sentry Celestial Palaces finally showed himself. It was a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor young man!


    No one could have thought that a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor could actually slaughter 18 Sentry Celestial Palaces.


    What was even more damnable was that he was a human!


    Of course, this was not the most explosive thing yet.


    The most explosive thing was that this young man went to the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace alone, and he warned the Sentry Celestial Palace Lord, Originbright!


    The young man went on a killing spree, killing several late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses as well as hundreds of powerhouses.


    Then, under the besiegement of Lord Originbright as well as several Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses, he left suavely!


    As soon as the news spread out, the entire southern border was in a stir.


    ��Where did this young man pop out from? Why is he so strong?��


    ��Lord Originbright, that��s a character in the sky! Even he failed to hold this young man back?��


    ��The divine race members who came to the southern border to investigate have all been withdrawn! This is also to say that his threat has worked! The divine race was actually forced to give in by a Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor!��


    �� ��


    This conclusion filled many people with astonishment.


    Only then did they know that turns out, humans could be so powerful!


    Challenging the Sentry Celestial Palace single-handedly, arriving elegantly, killing several hundred powerhouses, then leaving suavely.


    Although they did not see this scene, imagining it with their brain a little, they felt their hot blood boil with excitement too!


    Passing through a million-strong army, not a single armored warrior touched his body!


    This was the best portrayal of Ye Yuan��s operation this time!


    There were too many people who saw this battle, it could not be hidden at all.


    After the news spread out, countless human powerhouses were greatly encouraged.


    When the news spread back to Skysouth, the various sects�� sect masters were completely stunned.


    They gathered together overnight, discussing how to salvage this matter.


    Wu Tianqiao was naturally the first to bear the brunt!


    A sect master said while dripping with sarcasm, ��Sect Master Wu, you��re really impressive! The great idea you came up with, now, you brought everyone into the pit!��


    Another sect master said with a cold smile, ��That lord is definitely already on the way here! Sect Master Wu, can you teach us how we should explain to that lord?��


    A sect master said with a gratified look, ��Lucky we didn��t kill Qin Chao. Otherwise, our sects will really be destroyed!��


    For some time, Wu Tianqiao became the target of public criticism.


    Wu Tianqiao��s expression was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, ��Now, all are blaming me? When I said to capture them back then, weren��t each and every one of you all very excited? What��s the use of saying this crap now? Rather than blaming me here, why not think of a way?!��


    A sect master said, ��What solution can there be now? Go and invite them out! Very clearly, Qin Chao delivering that lord��s message indicates that he��s already that lord��s confidant! As long as we get his forgiveness, that lord definitely won��t look into us!��


    At present, they could not think of a better way as well.


    Hence, a large group of sect master level powerhouses came to the dungeon and invited Qin Chao and Mo Qingshan out.


    When Mo Qingshan saw each and every one of these people being extra careful, how could he still not understand what was going on?


    He was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    That young man really did it?


    Qin Chao smiled at him and said, ��What did I say, Master? His Excellency must have caused a great sensation in the southern border this time!��


    Wu Tianqiao smiled and said, ��Yeah! That lord has the talent to rule the world. Even the divine race was kneaded by him too! Gentlemen, it was all our fault this time. Can we invite you two out, please?��


    Qin Chao said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Sect Master Wu, haven��t you heard of this saying, it��s easier to call up an evil spirit than to allay it?��

 Chapter 2381 - All Parties Alarmed!

    ��We��re not going anywhere, we��ll wait right here for Senior to arrive.�� Qin Chao said calmly.


    The expressions of the group of sect masters immediately became embarrassed to the extreme.


    If that senior came, slaughtering all of them in his unhappiness was nothing difficult too!


    One had to know, even Originbright that kind of powerhouse, failed to keep Ye Yuan back.


    Furthermore, looking at the ruthlessness of Ye Yuan��s actions, he would not mind slaughtering all of them.


    An emaciated sect master said with a pitiful expression, ��Goodness gracious, my little ancestor, don��t throw a tantrum anymore! This old man knows that we��ve offended you guys badly this time, take pity on us, these old bones!��


    Mo Qingshan looked at these sect masters with a look of surprise. It was as if it was his first time knowing them.


    These people normally all had their eyes growing on top of their heads. Apart from the divine race, they paid no attention to anyone.


    Now, they actually became this sycophantic appearance.


    Qin Chao suddenly sighed and said, ��Senior said, pitiable people must have hateful aspects! If our human race can be united, why would we be bullied by the divine race until like this? The population of all the races added up is more than 100 thousand times that of the divine race! Even if we used numbers to pile, we��d pile them to death too!��


    When the sect masters heard this, they all exchanged glances.


    While that was true, just the population of the human race was as many as billions of trillions. How could it be easy to talk about uniting?


    ��Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it! I��m not making you all go and court death, just letting you all know that being a human �� is much more interesting than being a pig or dog!��


    Suddenly, a voice sounded out faintly. A youth in white clothes walked out of the void.


    The expressions of the group of sect masters changed wildly, already guessing who the arrival was.


    There were many powerful array formations guarding inside this dungeon. They were actually completely clueless when this young man entered!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Originally, they had only heard rumors about Ye Yuan��s strength.


    But seeing it with their own eyes currently, it really shocked them.


    Just based on this kind of means, it was effortless for Ye Yuan to kill them!


    When Qin Chao saw Ye Yuan, he had an excited look on his face and said in pleasant surprise, ��Senior! You barged into the Southern Sentry Celestial Palace alone and awed the southern border, bolstering our human race��s prestige, truly awe-inspiring!��


    Although he was very confident in Ye Yuan, when he heard about Ye Yuan��s deeds, he was still extremely carried away.


    That impressive sight, how great would it have been if he was present!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That was me taking by surprise, going too suddenly. They were not prepared, that��s why it was like this. If they were prepared, I probably won��t be able to come back anymore. Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm is indeed powerful!��


    Don��t look at how Ye Yuan came and went like the wind, Ye Yuan was still incredibly shocked having witnessed Originbright��s strength.


    Back then, he was almost killed by Originguard. At that time, he did not even have the strength to fight back and was also unable to experience the might of a Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm.


    Now, he comprehended three great sources, his strength virtually invincible in Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    Only at this time could he truly understand the prowess of a Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm.


    If under the circumstances where the other party was prepared, even if he unleashed his sources simultaneously, it would probably be hard to escape too.


    However, Ye Yuan mentioned it casually, but it was completely not the case at all when the sect masters present heard it.


    The might of Nine-mark Heavenly Dao Realms did not need Ye Yuan to explain at all.


    That was an existence that they could not understand!


    But Ye Yuan leisurely circled one round right under the eyelids of an incomprehensible existence and casually killed a few people.


    How could they imagine this kind of means?


    ��Y-Your Excellency, we have no intention of being enemies with you. Your Excellency, please lift your hand high up in mercy and let us go!�� Wu Tianqiao said sobbingly and had long lost his majesty back then.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you all killed Qin Chao, I��d definitely have slaughtered your entire sects! But since he��s unharmed, I��ll let you guys off! However �� if any one of you dares to be an accessory to a tyrant��s crimes, and help the divine race to bully your race, I��ll kill once when I see once!��


    Hearing this, the large rock in the hearts of the group of sect masters landed.


    Fortunately, this lord was not a demon lord who killed people without blinking.


    �� ��


    Puff!


    In an extremely secret underground palace, a middle-aged man suddenly vomited blood, his entire person becoming dispirited and inert.


    By the side, a white-haired old man asked, ��Profound Secrets, still can��t divine it?��


    The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, ��This child��s secrets are too vague as if it isn��t in the operation of Heavenly Dao at all! This kind of character, it��s still my first time encountering! Witchcloud, this boy may be the key to our peerless genius plan��s success. We must find him!��


    Witchcloud said in surprise, ��You��re actually so optimistic about him?��


    The middle-aged man��s gaze was deep as he said, ��Have you heard before any human Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor who can escape from under the hands of a Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm��s subordinate? Furthermore, Originbright isn��t an ordinary Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm. With his strength, ten Deva Third Blights are not a match either!��


    Witchcloud nodded and said, ��This boy is indeed too monstrous! But logically speaking, such a terrifying talent, he should have been discovered by us long ago. Why did he suddenly pop up now? I feel like he jumped out of thin air!��


    The middle-aged man nodded his head and said, ��You��re right! I��ve always been paying attention to the operation of Heavenly Dao. But ever since several months ago, Heavenly Dao seemed to suddenly have a trace of deviation and fluctuation! This trace of fluctuation is extremely minute. I believe that with Miluo��s ability, he can��t detect it yet! It��s also precisely after that, that this monstrous fellow suddenly appeared! If this is a coincidence, it��s also too coincidental!��


    Witchcloud had a look of shock and said, ��There��s actually such a thing! Such a major thing, why did you only say it now?��


    The middle-aged man smiled and said, ��If not for the thing he did this time being too heaven-shocking, how could I have taken notice of him? How can the unpredictableness of Heavenly Dao be what ordinary people can surmise?��


    Witchcloud thought about it and felt the same. That kid remained in obscurity previously. If not for challenging the Sentry Celestial Palace by himself and warning the divine race, stirring up a monstrous wave.


    How could they have paid attention to a measly little Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor?


    The middle-aged man said, ��The matter brooks no delay! This matter is no trivial matter, I must make a trip in person. I��ll leave ��Deicide�� to you!��


    Witchcloud nodded and said, ��Relax, we��ve almost entered orbit already. With me around, there won��t be any problems!��


    �� ��


    At the same time, inside the divine race��s highest ruling institution, Titan Palace, an old man with white eyebrows was similarly vomiting fresh blood wildly.


    Beside him, a robust middle-aged man said with a dark expression, ��Celestial Master, even you can��t divine this kid too?��


    Miluo shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ��Lord Tian Qing, it��s as if this boy is outside of the Five Elements, jumping out of the Three Realms. I��m unable to divine at all! It��s still Miluo��s first time encountering such an unpredictable person! As if �� he appeared out of thin air!��


    The robust middle-aged man beside Celestial Master Miluo was the divine race��s Heaven Lineage��s progenitor, the divine race��s most terrifying existence: Tian Qing!


    They were similarly divining Ye Yuan.


    But even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could not divine him. So let alone Miluo?


    Hearing what Miluo said, Tian Qing��s brows furrowed even harder and he said in a deep voice, ��Heavenly Dao has always been under our control. But now, an unpredictable person appeared. This boy must be eliminated! Inform all Sentry Celestial Palaces! They must find this kid��s tracks at all costs!��

 Chapter 2382 - Clashing in Secret!

    Suddenly, an obscure sect, the Ziwei Sect, became lively.


    On this day, Originbright brought a white-browed old man and suddenly descended upon the Ziwei Sect.


    Mo Qingshan and the rest were fearful and awed.


    ��Sect Master Mo, you guys are really so capable!��


    Originbright��s words were full of derision.


    Clearly, his resentment toward the Ziwei Sect was very deep.


    By now, Ye Yuan��s connection with the Ziwei Sect had naturally been dug out long ago.


    If it were in the past, the Ziwei Sect would have long turned to ashes.


    But now, with Ye Yuan this sword of Damocles hanging up there, the divine race really did not dare to make a move on the Ziwei Sect.


    Destroying a single Ziwei Sect was merely a trivial matter.


    But once Ye Yuan was pissed off, the divine race would really find it impossible to defend effectively.


    Therefore, they could only endure it.


    Now, the divine race��s top priority was to find Ye Yuan, and then eliminate him!


    This person��s existence posed too great a threat to them.


    How could Mo Qingshan not discern the meaning in Originbright��s words? He hurriedly apologized, ��Palace Lord, please calm your anger. Our Ziwei Sect is really not familiar with this person! We also don��t know why he ran to my Ziwei Sect.��


    Originbright had a fake smile as he said, ��Is that so? Then this palace lord wronged you?��


    Mo Qingshan was alarmed and hurriedly bowed and said, ��Palace Lord, calm your anger!��


    Originbright sneered and said, ��If that kid doesn��t die, how can this palace lord��s fury be appeased? Your dog head is temporarily left on your neck! After this palace lord kills that brat, I��ll come and take care of you!��


    Originbright did not conceal his killing intent in the slightest. To him, a measly little Ziwei Sect could be destroyed with a flip of his hand.


    Want to kill you, you did not even have the qualifications to flee!


    But saying these words out showed his apprehension toward Ye Yuan.


    If not out of fear toward Ye Yuan, why would he be standing here, talking rubbish with a puny little sect master?


    This logic, Originbright understood; Mo Qingshan similarly understood it.


    He was unbelievably shocked in his heart.


    Previously, it was widely rumored that Ye Yuan went over to threaten the Sentry Celestial Palace. But that was also mostly rumors.


    But today, seeing Originbright��s attitude, he knew that it was definitely true!


    A Fifth Firmament Heavenly Emperor actually forced the entire divine race to back down. This kind of strength, he simply did not know what to say.


    Mo Qingshan did not dare to talk back, he just kept silent.


    Originbright gave a cold snort and said, ��You all, bring this lord around to take a look! Wherever he wants to go, you guys will bring him there!��


    ��Yes!�� Mo Qingshan hurriedly answered.


    He did not know who this person was at all, and also did not know what he came here for.


    Celestial Master Miluo said coolly, ��Bring me to walk around first!��


    Mo Qingshan did not dare to disobey, bringing Celestial Master Miluo to stroll around leisurely.


    Wherever he wanted to go, Mo Qingshan would bring him there.


    This Celestial Master Miluo gave him an unfathomable feeling.


    This kind of feeling was even more terrifying than Originbright.


    Miluo spent close to half a month��s time and virtually went around to every corner of the Ziwei Sect before leaving.


    But before leaving, Originbright still left a Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse behind to garrison at Ziwei Sect.


    Saying that it was garrisoning, it was actually surveillance.


    Along the way, Originbright asked, ��Celestial Master, were there any discoveries?��


    Celestial Master Miluo��s brows were tightly locked, and he shook his head and said, ��Discovered a few subtle auras. It should have been left behind by this boy! But this celestial master couldn��t divine where he came from! It��s as if he appeared out of thin air! But as for his departure aura, it was deliberately concealed! This boy��s means are inconceivable!��


    Originbright had a look of disbelief and said, ��This �� Even Celestial Master can��t divine it either? Could it be that we��re going to allow this kid to carry on being free and unfettered? Lord Celestial Master, I say, do you think Mo Qingshan knows where that boy��s whereabouts or not?��


    Celestial Master Miluo was an existence with the highest attainments in the path of divination in the divine race. Even he could not find Ye Yuan��s whereabouts. Then wouldn��t this boy remain at large?


    Celestial Master Miluo��s expression was somewhat ugly as he shook his head and said, ��This boy is very shrewd. It��s absolutely impossible to tell Mo Qingshan his whereabouts. He and Mo Qingshan aren��t familiar to that degree! Now, there��s only waiting. He��ll inevitably give himself away!��


    �� ��


    After Celestial Master Miluo returned in defeat, another figure quietly sneaked into the Ziwei Sect.


    Mo Qingshan returned to his residence and felt as if he had arrived in a different world.


    A world that was cut off from the outside world!


    In the house, a middle-aged man was currently sitting in front of his desk, pouring himself a drink.


    ��Came back?�� The middle-aged seemed to be engaging in small talk.


    ��C-Came back! Wonder what this lord is finding this Mo for?�� Mo Qingshan asked cautiously.


    He was walking on thin ice every day currently, fearful of offending some great deity.


    Ye Yuan��s matter provoked many legendary characters. He, an ant-like existence, would be gone with a puff from them.


    He had no choice but to be careful!


    ��Sect Master Mo, you don��t need to be so cautious! That Miluo is seriously too formidable. That��s why I had no choice but to come up with this place. You might not have heard of me before. I��m called Jian Rufeng. Others all call me �� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets! This emperor came for that young man. You should know who I��m talking about.�� The middle-aged man introduced himself.


    Mo Qingshan��s entire body trembled and he could not refrain from drawing a cold breath as he cried out in surprise, ��That �� That white-browed old man was Celestial Master Miluo?��


    He had not heard of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� name before.


    But Celestial Master Miluo��s name was resounding like the roar of thunder to Mo Qingshan.


    This Celestial Master Miluo monitored the world, he could be said to be the divine race��s eyes and ears.


    Regarding the myriad races under the heavens, as long as there was any rustling of leaves in the wind, it could not hide from the divine race��s eyes and ears.


    And the one who played a key role in this was this Celestial Master Miluo.


    One could say that Celestial Master Miluo was the nightmare of all the races in the world!


    The myriad races not daring to resist the divine race. There was a very important reason involved. It was Celestial Master Miluo!


    If not for him, maybe the various races would have long revolted like crazy.


    Mo Qingshan did not expect that this Miluo that made people tremble with fear when they hear, actually came to his Ziwei Sect just like that.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��Such a major incident occurred, how could it possibly not alarm him? But you rest assured. Even this emperor can��t divine that person. So it��s impossible for Miluo to divine him too.��


    These words revealed a strong self-confidence.


    Which was also to say that he was confident that he was stronger than Celestial Master Miluo in the path of divination!


    Mo Qingshan stared dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape when he heard. When did such a major power appear in the human race?


    ��Sect Master Mo, you don��t need to be so surprised. This emperor has already attained Dao for hundreds of millions of years. It��s just that you��re also aware of the Heavenspan World��s situation. If I show myself, I��ll definitely die very horribly. Therefore �� I��ve always been very low-profile. This matter, I hope for Sect Master Mo to keep it secret for me too. After all, you and I are of the same race. If you report me, it��s equivalent to severing the future hope of the human race! You should be able to weigh the severity and pros and cons,�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said.


    Mo Qingshan��s heart turned cold and he said solemnly, ��Your Excellency, rest assured. Even if Mo Qingshan dies, I absolutely won��t say a word out too!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded and said, ��I trust Sect Master Mo! These few days, this emperor will be staying in Ziwei Sect. I hope that Sect Master Mo doesn��t mind.��

 Chapter 2383 - A Historic Meeting!

    This wait was a thousand years!


    In a hidden spatial rift, Ye Yuan and Qin Chao were currently cultivating.


    ��Senior, you��re really too formidable! I never dared to imagine that someone can comprehend these four great laws to such a level! But why have I never heard of you before this?��


    The longer he spent time with Ye Yuan, the more incredulous he felt.


    How could a person be monstrous to such a degree?


    During these 1000 years, Ye Yuan��s space and time, two great laws, could be said to have flourished with each passing day.


    His spatial law already reached rank two source!


    Time law already reached 1:300 too!


    One had to know, these were two great supreme laws. Being able to advance by an inch in ten thousand years already had to thank one��s lucky stars.


    But Ye Yuan completely surpassed Qin Chao��s imagination.


    Ye Yuan gave Qin Chao a glance and said smilingly, ��This matter, saying it is somewhat fantastical. I also don��t know if teaching you swordsmanship is right or wrong. But since I came, I have got to do something.��


    Qin Chao was confused and said, ��What��s wrong with teaching me swordsmanship?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��These things, you won��t understand. Uh �� even I don��t understand it myself.��


    In this world, Ye Yuan discovered that his speed of comprehending spacetime law was even faster than in the Primeval War Realm!


    He felt that this might be due to traversing through spacetime.


    It was just that, his sudden appearance broke the balance of the original world in the first place.


    Then, was there still meaning in him cultivating these things?


    To teach or not to teach Qin Chao, he had also hesitated before.


    To kill or not to kill divine race members, he had likewise hesitated before.


    But later on, he figured things out.


    Since he came here, even if he did nothing, he had already changed the course of the world.


    Then, what difference did doing more or doing less make?


    Right now, under this spacetime, the human race had clearly not risen yet.


    Ye Yuan did not know if this was that era in the last epoch. But since he came, there was no harm in leaving behind Dao teachings to make the human race become a little stronger.


    Seeing the human race being bullied by people like this, but not doing anything, this was not his, Ye Yuan��s, style.


    Hence, he went to do it without hesitation.


    He was very optimistic about Qin Chao. So he was willing to use a thousand years�� time to teach him swordsmanship.


    In 1000 years, Qin Chao already went from Empyrean Realm and broke through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor!


    ��Are you homesick? Or thinking of somebody?�� Ye Yuan looked at Qin Chao and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Qin Chao��s face turned red but still nodded his head very shamelessly.


    These few days, Qin Chao was always somewhat distracted when practicing the sword. So how could Ye Yuan not tell?


    This kid was thinking of Mo Xiaocao.


    ��Alright. After not going out for so long, it��s also time to go out and take a look,�� Ye Yuan got up and said.


    Qin Chao��s expression changed and he said, ��Senior, you mustn��t! You��re currently already a thorn in the divine race��s eyes! How can you risk your life?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��They aren��t qualified enough to capture me yet! Come on!��


    Although the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain did not come with him, Ye Yuan discovered that he could mobilize the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain across time and space!


    Shielding heaven��s secrets with the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, no one could discover it!


    �� ��


    At Ziwei Sect, the Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse had not left yet.


    Although they knew that there was little hope of finding Ye Yuan, Miluo did not give up.


    But Ye Yuan quietly entered the Ziwei Sect. How could a mere initial-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm discover it?


    Returning to Ziwei Sect, the first thing was not to go and see Mo Xiaocao but to offer greetings to Mo Qingshan.


    Seeing Qin Chao, Mo Qingshan��s heart shook wildly.


    ��You �� You broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm so fast?��


    Before Qin Chao left, he was merely a Third Firmament Empyrean.


    In just a short 1000 years, he already reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm. How could Mo Qingshan not be surprised?


    After offering greetings, Qin Chao smiled and said, ��Over the past thousand years, Senior went to great lengths to refine many miraculous medicinal pills for me. Roughly 100 years ago, I broke through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.��


    Mo Qingshan opened his mouth wide, looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    He never thought that Ye Yuan was actually an alchemy master!


    What kind of medicinal pills could push a Third Firmament Empyrean to become Heavenly Emperor Realm within a thousand years?


    If becoming a Heavenly Emperor was so easy, then what was the point of cultivating bitterly?


    This young man was really mysterious to the extreme!


    In reality, spiritual energy was abundant in this era. Many spirit medicines that were not seen in later generations could all be found here.


    To Ye Yuan, casually refining a few rank seven medicinal pills was truly too effortless.


    After a bout of small talk, Mo Qingshan forcefully pressed down his shocked state of mind and said to Ye Yuan, ��Ye Yuan, a major power of our human race has been waiting a thousand years for you in the Ziwei Sect just to meet you. Wonder if you��re willing to meet him?��


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised and said, ��Oh? What��s going on, let��s hear it.��


    Mo Qingshan recounted the entire sequence of events but discovered that Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly became very fascinating.


    It was his first time seeing this young man have fluctuations in emotion.


    ��You said that he��s called Profound Secrets?�� Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and asked.


    �� ��


    When the two people met, they were very calm on the surface, but it was already squalling heavily in their hearts.


    What Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was surprised by was that a Heavenly Emperor Realm martial artist appeared in Ziwei Sect and he was actually completely clueless.


    What Ye Yuan was surprised by was that this Profound Secrets was not the other Profounds Secrets!


    Then this person should be the father of that Profound Secrets of the future generation. He was the powerful existence who sacrificed himself to shield heaven��s secrets!


    Only all the way until this moment did Ye Yuan suddenly come to realize the truth, which era he arrived at!


    He actually returned to the era of the future generation Profound Secrets�� father in an accident arising from many causes!


    At this time, the Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets in front of him had not died yet. Clearly, the colossal plan of the myriad races had not truly begun yet.


    Then right now, was it the years before the human race��s great prosperity?


    ��Am I revisiting history or does this period of history really exist? Why do I feel like everything is a dream? What are time and space? Just what kind of existence am I?��


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� father, Ye Yuan��s heart produced even more questions.


    He traveled through spacetime, but did this period of spacetime really exist?


    If it did not really exist, history was everything that already happened.


    But if it really existed, then what was he counted as?


    He could not figure it out after racking his brains!


    ��Really miraculous! You��re clearly standing in front of me, but why do I feel like you don��t exist?�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets broke the silence first, exclaiming with a look of surprise.


    His attainments in the path of divination had long already reached the acme of perfection.


    Even the divine race��s Celestial Master Miluo was inferior to him in this path. It could be imagined how formidable his strength was.


    But a living person was standing in front of him, and yet he gave Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets an extremely unreal feeling.


    How ludicrous was this sort of feeling?


    He had imagined many kinds of meeting circumstances but never thought that it would be like this.


    Ye Yuan also came back to his senses from the shock and said with a smile, ��Perhaps, your feeling is right. I really don��t exist. Or should I say that I��m a special existence?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s pupils constricted. He did not expect that what he got was actually such an answer.

 Chapter 2384 - Terrifying Guess!

    ��A terrific special existence! No wonder this emperor couldn��t calculate you no matter how I calculated! Perhaps you��re really sent by heaven to save the human race from extreme misery! It��s worth it for me to wait a thousand years here painstakingly!�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head when he heard that and said, ��The one who saves the human race isn��t me, but you, Senior!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� pupils constricted and he said with a frown, ��Do you know something?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I think I should know what it is. Looks like Senior has already started to move. Then coming to find me this time, do you want to recruit me?��


    ��How did you know?��


    This shock of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was by no means insignificant.


    The existence of Deicide was an absolute secret. Even among humans, there were extremely few people who knew about it too.


    He could confirm that Deicide had never come into contact with Ye Yuan before. So how did this kid know?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, just take it as I guessed it.��


    The matter of him traversing through spacetime was seriously too fantastical.


    Even for Grand Ancestor Spacetime Shang Hang, it was also impossible to easily travel through time and space.


    Therefore, him transmigrating back was absolutely just an accident.


    Most likely, even Shang Hang did not expect it either.


    But these words became even more mysterious and hard to fathom in Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� ears.


    His gaze turned dark, and he said, ��Alright. Since you��re not willing to say, then this ancestor won��t ask anymore. But I think that our aspiration should be the same, right?��


    Ye Yuan��s actions and behavior, he had taken it into his sights.


    Seemingly more brave than wise, but in reality, it was very meticulous.


    More importantly, the influence of Ye Yuan��s battle was extremely far-reaching!


    One could say, things that were not convenient for Deicide to do, Ye Yuan did it!


    Previously, some things launched by Deicide became much more convenient.


    In these 1000 years, although Jian Rufeng was not active in Deicide, he received the news over there one after another.


    The invisible influence that this battle of Ye Yuan��s gave to people was too great.


    In past understanding, the divine race was invincible.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance completely broke this curse.


    He told the world that as long as your law comprehensions were strong enough, you could defeat, or even kill divine race powerhouses!


    And this was also precisely the reason why Ye Yuan did so.


    The human race was too ignorant, their understanding had already been deceived by the divine race, and needed someone to come and break this inherent understanding.


    Since no one would do it, then it was up to him to do it.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��What Senior has done, Junior admires endlessly.��


    Jian Rufeng said, ��What you guessed is basically all correct. But there��s something that you go wrong. This ancestor isn��t here to solicit you, but to invite you to Deicide to be the chief instructor!��


    This time, it was Ye Yuan��s turn to be surprised. He thought that Jian Rufeng was going to focus on grooming him.


    However, Jian Rufeng actually invited him to go back and nurture others!


    He was truly unable to predict this result.


    ��Senior, did you make a mistake? You look, I��m only a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor!�� Ye Yuan said suspiciously.


    Although a thousand years had already passed, his realm only increased to late-stage World Realm, equivalent to Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor.


    This bit of cultivation should be considered much when placed in Deicide.


    Making him go and teach people, would those Deva Realm powerhouses be convinced?


    But Jian Rufeng said firmly, ��You don��t need to suspect anything. This ancestor hasn��t reached a point where I��m muddleheaded with age. Although there are many experts in Deicide, in terms of law comprehensions, they are far worse than you! What you��re worse than them is just cultivation realm. This isn��t impossible to make up for.��


    In the eyes of true geniuses, cultivation realm was never a disparity.


    True disparity was in terms of laws!


    ��The various races were suppressed by the divine race, extremely limited in terms of law comprehensions! The human race looks like they have a huge population, but there aren��t many true experts. Those Deva Realm powerhouses mostly succeeded in transcending the tribulations by a fluke. In terms of combat power, some Deva Realms are not even as good as the divine race��s peak Eight-marks! Hence, it��s not that the various races don��t want to revolt, but that they are completely powerful to revolt!�� Jian Rufeng said with a solemn expression.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he revealed a thoughtful look.


    No wonder when he returned to the previous epoch, he discovered that the martial artists here were not as powerful as he had imagined.


    According to what he had seen and heard in the other time and space, the ancient times should have been when the human race was the most glorious.


    This era had countless powerhouses!


    Each one was a powerhouse who shocked the heavens.


    Especially the 18 grand ancestors, those were terrifying existences who could contend with the divine race��s progenitors.


    But even a peerless genius like Qin Chao was pitifully weak regardless of whether it was cultivation method or martial technique.


    This was clearly not too logical.


    Even when Empyrean Vast Universe passed him the bone sword, he also had a contemptuous look on his face toward the later generations�� human geniuses.


    As for Grand Ancestor Spacetime Shang Hang, that went even more without saying.


    But when Ye Yuan returned to this era, he discovered that this was not the case at all.


    This was also to say that the human race had not reached its most glorious time yet!


    Hang on!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan thought of a certain possibility, and his expression changed wildly, monstrous waves surging in his heart!


    ��The previous generation Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets is still alive. The 18 grand ancestors have not appeared yet. The human race hasn��t welcomed its most glorious era yet!��


    ��The human race is weak, yet, there are so many geniuses in this era! What they lack isn��t geniuses but inheritances!��


    ��Spiritual energy is abundant, geniuses are plentiful like oxen hair, all prerequisites for the human race to be strong are already provided for! One can say that everything was ready except for a crucial element!��


    ��Currently, the previous generation Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets asked him to go back and be the chief instructor, doesn��t that mean that the grand event that Shang Hang spoke about, had a lot to do with me?��


    ��Could it be that �� the incomparably glorious era of the human race later on, it was actually single handedly created by me?��


    ��This �� This is also too ridiculous, right?��


    Ye Yuan��s mind spun like lightning, a terrifying idea forming in his mind.


    Although this idea was extremely absurd, the more he analyzed it, the more likely he felt that it was!


    Because in terms of time, this era��s Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets should be sacrificing himself not long after.


    If not for him, who else did the human race have who could step forward, and impart them the true Great Dao?


    Jian Rufeng himself also said those so-called powerhouses were no good at all in terms of law comprehension!


    Although Ye Yuan��s own law comprehensions had not reached the acme of perfection yet, the comprehension of laws varied from person to person in the first place.


    What he had to do was not to hold their hands and teach one by one, but it was to teach them how to enter the Dao!


    As long as he brought them along on the journey, they would develop powerful cultivation methods and martial techniques themselves, and walk toward the true summit!


    Just like Spacetime Reversal Chaos this move, if Ye Yuan��s own spacetime law continued developing, it absolutely would not evolve this move.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan was filled with fear.


    This was too terrifying!


    Then what exactly was he?


    Was he a person of this era, or someone of that era?


    His entire person became ruffled in an instant.


    ��Spacetime! Spacetime! What the hell are you? What on earth am I? Where the hell am I right now? Who in the world am I?��


    Ye Yuan shouted crazily in his heart, he wanted to figure all this out.


    But, no matter how he shouted, it was to no avail too.

 Chapter 2385 - Beneath One Person and Above Millions!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What��s wrong with you?�� Jian Rufeng saw that Ye Yuan��s expression was not right, and he asked rather surprisedly.


    This boy did not feel uncomfortable at all when he saw him.


    He invited him to be a chief instructor, and he was being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor until like this?


    How could he know how great the shock in Ye Yuan��s heart was at this time?


    Was this spacetime disorder, or a repeat of history?


    Did he exist in history, or was this another spacetime?


    Or was this simply a dream?


    Everything, every single thing, they were unknown.


    Perhaps God knew, but it was impossible for Him to tell Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed the horror in his heart, sucked in a deep breath, and said, ��Okay, I promise you!��


    Hearing that Ye Yuan was so straightforward, Jian Rufeng smiled.


    The peerless genius plan had always been in the middle of advancing. It was just that, how much result this plan could achieve, even he had no idea in his heart.


    The human race��s foundation was too poor!


    Under such a foundation, how long did it need before they could achieve great development and reach the extent of contending with the divine race?


    Jian Rufeng��s accomplishments in the path of divination were indeed unmatched.


    But he was just a variant among humans.


    It was easy to pass on the flame, but hard to produce something out of nothing!


    Want to create a powerful cultivation method out of thin air, create a formidable martial technique, let their clansman comprehend laws, that was something as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance was like a beacon in the dark night.


    Jian Rufeng��s last trace of doubt was also dispelled!


    Everything was ready except for a crucial element!


    Ye Yuan was that crucial element!


    ��Hahaha �� Okay! With you around, this ancestor can rest assured!�� Jian Rufeng said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and bowed almost to the ground towards Jian Rufeng, and said solemnly, ��Senior Profound Secrets is righteous, exhausting your mind and body for the human race, till your heart ceases to beat! Please accept a bow from Junior!��


    Jian Rufeng��s expression changed wildly and he said in surprise, ��What did you guess again?��


    Ye Yuan said solemnly, ��Hundreds of millions of geniuses gathering together, there might be nothing at first. But after their talents are fully developed, how can that kind of astonishing aura hide from Celestial Master Miluo��s eyes and ears? And to conceal the heaven��s secrets operation of hundreds of millions of geniuses, even Senior can��t easily accomplish it too, right?��


    Jian Rufeng looked at Ye Yuan woodenly and only came back to his senses after a while, saying, ��Being able to encounter Little Brother is truly the great blessing of myriad races! I still don��t know what Little Brother is called.��


    ��Ye Yuan! But Senior, I only hope for you alone to know this name. In front of others, Senior can address me as Ji Qingyun!��


    At the behest of supernatural powers, Ye Yuan made this request.


    Jian Rufeng was uncertain what it meant, but this request was naturally nothing, he agreed to it readily.


    There was clearly no footprint of his in the real history.


    Ye Yuan even felt that he never took part in the Doomsday Battle at all.


    Otherwise, with his talent, why would he be unknown to the public?


    Furthermore, how this matter would be, still got to go and do before he would know.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan did not plan on using his real name.


    But Ye Yuan this name, Ye Yuan still told Jian Rufeng. This was respect toward him!


    Just like this, Ye Yuan left with Jian Rufeng.


    And the ones who left together with him were also Qin Chao and Mo Xiaocao.


    They became members of the peerless genius plan, joining Deicide!


    �� ��


    In Deicide��s underground palace, a group of higher-ups was all gathered here.


    There was a group of Deva Realm powerhouses. Some were staring at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    Lord Profound Secrets left for a thousand years, it was to wait for this kid?


    What capability did this kid have, to actually be able to make His Excellency put aside Deicide��s affairs, and wait for a thousand years?


    ��This Jian left for a thousand years. During this period of time, everyone has worked hard!�� Jian Rufeng��s gaze swept over as he said.


    The moment everyone heard, they repeatedly said dare not.


    In Deicide, Jian Rufeng was the absolute authority.


    He created Deicide single handedly, recruiting the top major powers and aspiring people of all races under his command.


    Deicide being able to develop to today��s scale, it was virtually all due to Jian Rufeng��s work alone.


    If not for him shielding heaven��s secrets, how could what they do possibly hide from Celestial Master Miluo��s eyes and ears?


    ��Gentlemen, from today onward, Deicide is establishing the post of chief instructor! This position, the status is second only to this emperor, controlling all parties! He can mobilize all of Deicide��s resources and command everyone in Deicide! When necessary, it includes this emperor!��


    Jian Rufeng��s expression was piercing, his gaze sweeping over everyone as he said those words slowly.


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    They did not know why the moment Lord Profound Secrets returned, he would suddenly set up such a position.


    But they naturally hoped very much that this position would fall on them.


    As for Ye Yuan, they never thought about it.


    After all, Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was too low. He was still a junior.


    Jian Rufeng thinking highly of him was just thinking highly of his future, that was all.


    Chief instructor this position could be said to be beneath one person and above millions. It would not be handed to such a brat no matter what.


    A Deicide��s higher-up said, ��Lord Profound Secrets, Lord Witchcloud toiled hard and rendered great merits. He deserves this position! We��ll definitely support your decision!��


    Someone concurred and said, ��That��s right, this position, apart from Lord Witchcloud, there��s no one more suitable.��


    Although everyone hoped to be this chief instructor, they were all clear that no one was more suitable for this position than Witchcloud.


    Witchcloud did not speak. He just looked at Jian Rufeng with piercing eyes.


    He knew that this position was definitely his.


    Jian Rufeng waved his hand and said, ��All of our Deicide��s aims are for the sake of the rise of the myriad races! We don��t need things like being promoted in order of seniority! If the myriad races don��t become powerful, so what even if this emperor gives this position to him? We��re still just a bunch of pigs and sheep being reared, without any dignity! The chief instructor that I��m talking about isn��t Witchcloud, but ����


    As he said, he turned his gaze towards Ye Yuan and slowly said, ��Him!��


    Buzz!


    The entire main hall exploded at once!


    ��What?! Letting a brat who��s still wet behind his ears to be the chief instructor, keeping all parties in check? What �� kind of joke is this?��


    ��This brat is just a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor! What capability does he have to take on chief instructor this position?��


    ��Lord Profound Secrets, are you joking with us?��


    �� ��


    This result was seriously beyond their expectations.


    Making a Heavenly Emperor Realm junior be the chief instructor, what qualifications did he have?


    This position, even if they took turns one by one, it would also not be Ye Yuan��s turn!


    Which of them did not do their best in a conscientious manner for Deicide, going through fire and water?


    But now, a brat who popped out from God knows where, he rode on top of their heads all of a sudden. How could they be convinced?


    Even Witchcloud also looked toward Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets in shock, as if it was his first time knowing him.


    At this moment, a sour feeling surfaced in his heart, unable to dispel.


    Between him and Profound Secrets could be said to be a life-and-death friendship.


    But today, he had a feeling of being abandoned.

 Chapter 2386 - Spar

    The Alchemy Hall was a very important hall of Deicide.


    This hall shouldered the responsibility of all of Deicide��s medicinal pill refinement.


    And the one who directly controlled this hall was precisely Witchcloud.


    Witchcloud was the strongest alchemist in Deicide. His alchemy strength virtually reached the level of rule.


    But today, the atmosphere in the Alchemy Hall was rather odd.


    Many powerful alchemists were swarming around Witchcloud. Each and every one of them was extremely indignant.


    ��Your Excellency, that brat is clearly bullying you! The first day that he took office, he��s coming to the hall that you��re in charge of. Isn��t this an opening gambit?��


    ��I really don��t know what��s with Lord Profound Secrets, making a brat like this be the chief instructor, and even climb onto the top of Your Excellency��s head.��


    ��Your Excellency, you wait. We��ll definitely take him down a notch today! Just based on the likes of him, a measly little Heavenly Emperor Realm kid, he also wants to meddle in the Alchemy Hall?��


    �� ��


    It turned out that after Ye Yuan took office, the first hall that he went to was the Alchemy Hall.


    And the one in charge of this hall also happened to be Witchcloud.


    In everyone��s view, this naturally became Ye Yuan provoke Witchcloud. This was deliberately suppressing him.


    At this time, there were already many people waiting to watch a good show.


    They all knew about Ye Yuan��s combat power.


    But they had never heard before that Ye Yuan also knew alchemy.


    Even if they had heard it before, they would not take it seriously either.


    A Heavenly Emperor Realm brat coming to provoke the Alchemy Hall. This was looking for a rebuff.


    To talk about this Alchemy Hall��s powerhouses, there was a very large portion who were groomed by Witchcloud.


    Deicide��s Alchemy Hall could be said to be the strongest of the entire Heavenspan World��s myriad races, not one of them!


    These people were all loyal to him.


    Hence, Ye Yuan wanting to come now, each and every one of them was bound by a common hatred for the enemy, mustering everything up to teach Ye Yuan a lesson.


    Witchcloud��s brows furrowed and he said, ��You all don��t mess around! This chief instructor was decided by Brother Profound Secrets overriding all objections, this boy must have exceptional aspects! After he comes, take a look at what capabilities he has first before talking. Of course, if he��s just holding a position without qualifications, I��ll never allow him to meddle in the Alchemy Hall!��


    After everyone heard, they could only nod their heads.


    But their expressions were all indifferent.


    Entering the Alchemy Hall, Ye Yuan sensed this weird atmosphere.


    It seemed like everyone��s gazes that looked at him were extremely hostile.


    But he did not care. Along the way, he had seen too many of such gazes.


    He naturally did not come to the Alchemy Hall to make drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge, and it was also not in order to teach anyone a lesson.


    In his understanding, the divine race was extremely apprehensive of the human race��s alchemy path.


    This was also to say that, the previous epoch��s human race��s alchemy path was unprecedentedly developed!


    With so many top masters in the last epoch, the alchemy path must have contributed tremendous power.


    The Alchemy Hall, it could be said to be the factory for creating experts!


    Hence, Ye Yuan chose the Alchemy Hall as his first stop.


    Slowly walking in front of Witchcloud, Ye Yuan nodded slightly and went straight to the point: ��Senior Witchcloud, I came today to witness the Alchemy Hall��s strength.��


    Witchcloud��s heart naturally would not be as calm as he was showing.


    No matter how he hinted at it implicitly, saying that Profound Secrets�� foresight definitely would not be wrong.


    He was not a jealous person, otherwise, he would also not have been so trusted by Profound Secrets.


    But, having a Heavenly Emperor Realm brat ride on top of his head, he felt somewhat strange no matter what.


    ��Everyone��s here. How does Young Friend Ji plan to witness it?�� Witchcloud said indifferently.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s naturally pill refinement!��


    Before Witchcloud spoke, an elder sneered and said, ��Refining pills? Lord Chief Instructor, do you know how to refine pills?��


    ��Yeah! Want to find fault, it��s also not the turn of you, this little babe, to come and point fingers! Want to check our strength, shouldn��t you yourself show a bit of strength first?��


    ��If you don��t have the strength, scram as soon as possible! Lord Witchcloud manages the Alchemy Hall in good order, this place doesn��t need Lord Chief Instructor to worry about.��


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, it immediately incurred ridicule.


    In their view, Ye Yuan might know alchemy, but it was definitely so-so.


    A dabbler wanted to show off in the presence of them, these masters?


    No way!


    Witchcloud wanted to open his mouth to stop everyone, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back.


    These old things naturally would not be so lacking in shrewdness.


    They did it on purpose, attempting to provoke Ye Yuan.


    The chief instructor completely fell out with the Alchemy Hall as soon as he came, see if he still had to face to come or not.


    However, Ye Yuan��s reaction was somewhat beyond their expectations.


    It was only to see him smile faintly. He said, ��Refining pills huh? I still have a little understanding. Since everyone wants to witness my strength, then I��ll accept deferentially rather than to decline courteously.��


    The eyes of the bunch of old fogeys lit up. This kid was here to look for abuse!


    An elder immediately stepped forward and said, ��I��ll compete in alchemy with you! If you were to lose, you��re not allowed to come to the Alchemy Hall in the future!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said smilingly, ��This senior, I have no plans on competing with you.��


    The moment that elder heard, he smiled coldly and said, ��What, not competing with me, do you still want to find a Seven-star disciple to compete with? It��s also not out of the question!��


    The moment these words came out, it immediately incurred a wave of hooting laughter.


    In their view, Ye Yuan could only compete in alchemy with the Seven-star and Eight-star disciples.


    It was completely not on the same level as them.


    But Ye Yuan just smiled and looked at Witchcloud and said, ��Senior Witchcloud, I heard Senior Profound Secrets say that you��re Deicide��s alchemy path number one person, your alchemy strength astonishingly strong! Why don��t you and I spar, let everyone broaden their horizons as well?��


    Everyone��s smiles immediately turned stiff on their faces.


    Even Witchcloud himself also had a stunned look.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually going to challenge him!


    Although he said it tactfully, this was undoubtedly a challenge!


    ��Did I hear wrongly? He �� He��s going to challenge Lord Witchcloud?��


    ��This kid wouldn��t have lost his mind, right?��


    ��I still thought that Lord Profound Secrets found some remarkable fellow, messing around for so long. It turns out that he��s a fool!��


    �� ��


    After being stupefied, there was even more unbridled taunting.


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s behavior and overestimated his own ability, they all turned their noses up in disdain, being filled with contempt.


    After Witchcloud was stunned for a moment, he also smiled brightly and said, ��Alright! This old man also wants to witness Chief Instructor��s strength!��


    Hence, amidst the waves of ridiculing, Ye Yuan and Witchcloud started the alchemy battle.


    Looking at the spirit medicines prepared in front of him, Ye Yuan had an envious look on his face.


    The grades of these spirit medicines were not high, but they had already gone completely extinct in the later generations. Ye Yuan had never heard of them before.


    The human race��s alchemy path failing to be revitalized, it likely had a lot to do with this as well.


    ��Young Friend Ji, you can start then!�� Witchcloud said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, snapping his fingers, the Tai Chi diagram suddenly bloomed.


    A mysterious Alchemy Dao source power suddenly descended!


    After the battle with Medicine Ancestor, Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao source already broke through to rank three!


    Furthermore, he glimpsed the power of rule in that battle.


    He already integrated a tiny trace of the power of rule in his Alchemy Dao!


    The moment he made his move, all of them, their expressions changed!

 Chapter 2387 - Giving Ground

    ��Rank three source! Too inconceivable, a Heavenly Emperor actually comprehended rank three Alchemy Dao source!��


    ��Is this understanding a little? This kid can really pretend! No wonder he had the confidence to challenge Lord Witchcloud!��


    ��However, Lord Witchcloud has comprehended rank four source. This kid will still lose!��


    �� ��


    Feeling this surging power of source, everyone was extremely shocked.


    Only then did they understand what kind of concept was the slight understanding that Ye Yuan talked about.


    If rank three source was a slight understanding too, then wouldn��t they become alchemy idiots?


    However, they were still not optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    Being able to be equally famous as Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Witchcloud was naturally not someone easy to deal with.


    But he was currently also incredibly shocked.


    Just now, he actually harbored the intention of teaching Ye Yuan a lesson too, making him beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao Realm was actually so high!


    Witchcloud thought in his heart, this boy��s Martial Dao talent is extremely terrifying, why is his alchemy path attainments even above that of his martial path? Is there really such a monstrous person in the world? No wonder Profound Secrets chose him. Given time, this boy will surely make great accomplishments! It��s just, him being the chief instructor, is he qualified enough?


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan already sketched out the embryonic form of a quasi-Dao pill.


    When Witchcloud saw this medicinal pill��s embryonic form, he was even more inexplicably shocked in his heart.


    This embryonic form could simply be rated as perfect!


    Witchcloud was an expert on Alchemy Dao. So how could he not tell?


    Even he could not perform better than Ye Yuan too!


    Forcefully suppressing the shock in his heart, Witchcloud made his move.


    The moment he took over, his heart trembled fiercely!


    He discovered that the structure of Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill was too exquisite.


    It was exquisite until he was actually somewhat in a difficult situation.


    A single carelessness, and it would ruin the embryonic form of this medicinal pill.


    That way, he would be defeated!


    The dignified alchemy path��s number one person, actually lost to a Heavenly Emperor Realm alchemist? How would he still stay on in the Alchemy Hall in the future?


    Originally, he had the mentality of playing along with Ye Yuan.


    But now, he had no choice but to perk his spirit up 120% and bring forth all of his strength.


    ��How can this boy��s Alchemy Dao be so terrifying? I��m facing his rank three source with rank four source, and I actually have a feeling of my ability falling short of my wishes! What is missing in this?��


    Witchcloud felt like something was blocked in his mind.


    In the myriad races, he, Witchcloud, only admired one person. That person was Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    This was because other people were not worthy of entering his sights at all.


    But after witnessing Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao, his appraisal of Ye Yuan immediately reached the level of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    Because he was inferior to Ye Yuan in terms of alchemy!


    If his and Ye Yuan��s realm comprehensions were the same, he was absolutely not Ye Yuan��s match!


    The two people went back and forth, bedazzling everyone who was present.


    This level of fight, it was still their first time seeing it!


    In the Alchemy Hall, there was no one who could debate on the Dao with Witchcloud at all.


    He was an existence towering above everyone, a godfather-level figure.


    His status was paramount.


    But today, when an opponent who was on par with him appeared, everyone truly realized how terrifying Witchcloud��s alchemy strength was!


    If so, then how strong was the Ye Yuan who was fighting Witchcloud until they were evenly matched?


    Everyone stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape. Especially the elder who wanted to compete with Ye Yuan in alchemy previously, his face was currently completely red with embarrassment.


    His strength was not weak, but facing off against Ye Yuan, he probably could not even fight back!


    An elder��s expression was ugly as he said, ��Could it be that it��s my misconception? Why do I feel that Lord Witchcloud seems to be lacking in strength?��


    Witchcloud was a god-like existence in their hearts.


    But before their eyes, this god-like existence really seemed to be straining very hard!


    Another elder similarly had an ugly expression as he said, ��That��s impossible! It must be your misconception! How can Lord Witchcloud possibly lose to this kid?��


    All of a sudden, Witchcloud felt the pressure ease up slightly.


    Halfway through the pill refinement, he suddenly felt like Ye Yuan��s technique was not that perfect anymore.


    It suddenly became much easier for him to handle it.


    Witchcloud was delighted, thinking to himself that this boy was lacking in stamina.


    After all, refining a pseudo-Dao pill was something that exhausted mental strength immensely. For someone who is at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, it was still a little forceful.


    This way, Ye Yuan might be even more exhausted in the latter half.


    If so, then he still had a chance to win!


    However, things did not go as he expected.


    Along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan was level-headed like a giant mountain.


    No matter how brilliant the design, Ye Yuan could resolve it easily.


    Witchcloud became more and more alarmed, he gradually understood that it was not that Ye Yuan was lacking in stamina, but that he was giving ground to him!


    Ye Yuan was giving him face!


    This kind of minute changes, not being in the process of the pill refinement, how could one tell?


    In the view of the others, the two of them were fighting until they were evenly matched in skill and strength.


    But in reality, he was still a notch worse than Ye Yuan.


    With Great Dao law descending, a pseudo-Dao pill suspended quietly in the air.


    The entire place was deathly silent.


    The impact that this battle brought to them was too intense.


    There was actually someone who could be evenly matched in skill and strength as Lord Witchcloud!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said to Witchcloud with clasped hands, ��Senior Witchcloud is indeed well-deserving of being the alchemy path��s number one person. This level of strength makes Junior admire!��


    Ye Yuan did not have malice toward Witchcloud.


    He heard Profound Secrets mentioned it before. Witchcloud made tremendous contributions to Deicide. He was the hero of the myriad races!


    After Ye Yuan came to the Alchemy Hall, he discovered that everyone��s respect for Witchcloud was not fake.


    Being able to bring the Alchemy Hall together into a monolithic block, this in itself showed a lot of things.


    Of course, Ye Yuan had his principles too.


    He was extremely strict toward alchemy.


    He competed in alchemy not to beat his opponent, but in order to refine an unusual medicinal pill.


    Although he could defeat Witchcloud, the medicinal pill would not be able to reach consummation.


    Two people refining pills, the most important thing was harmony.


    This was like inside a wooden barrel. There was a high and a low, two wooden boards.


    Then it was definitely impossible for the water level of this wooden barrel to be higher than the lower wooden board.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan put up with the second best option, lowering his strength to cooperate with Witchcloud. This way, he would be able to refine a medicinal pill that was as perfect as possible.


    At the same time, this could give Witchcloud face and also form the pill. He did not see any reason why not.


    Furthermore, he also measured it, Witchcloud��s strength was even slightly inferior to Medicine Ancestor.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, wanting to defeat him was not hard.


    But the strength of the present human race��s alchemy path made him quite disappointed too.


    Witchcloud��s expression flickered a little indeterminately, and he forced a smile and said, ��Honestly speaking, when Brother Profound Secrets made you the chief instructor, I was still somewhat unconvinced previously. But having witnessed Young Friend Ji��s strength, this old man is wholeheartedly convinced! Just based on this transcendent alchemy technique, you can live up to this position of chief instructor!��


    Ye Yuan��s giving ground protected his authority.


    If he still paid it no heed, that would be somewhat failing to appreciate favors.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Witchcloud is too kind. I was somewhat displaying my slight skill before an expert!��


    As he spoke, he said to the elders, ��How is it? Am I qualified to inspect everyone��s strength now?��

 Chapter 2388 - Shallow Foundation

    ��O-Of course!��


    The faces of several elders were rather awkward, but at this time, they had nothing to say.


    This young man��s strength was actually evenly-matched with lord Witchcloud. He naturally had the qualification to witness their strength.


    ��Yang Xiong, you first! Show your strength and let Chief Instructor take a look,�� Witchcloud said to an elder.


    Although he lost to Ye Yuan by a notch in the alchemy battle, he had the intention of showing off in front of Ye Yuan, and he also wanted to win back one round.


    These alchemists in the Alchemy Hall, he expended tremendous effort to train them.


    He was still rather pleased with himself on this point.


    ��No need. Everyone, do it together,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Together? This �� This is also too sloppy, right?�� Yang Xiong said doubtfully.


    This new chief instructor always did things unexpectedly.


    There were no less than a thousand alchemists present, they were all the Alchemy Hall��s elites.


    Refining pills together, what could he discern?


    Witchcloud was also very puzzled, but he still said, ��Just do as Young Friend Ji says.��


    Hence, a thousand people refined pills at the same time. The scene was a grand sight.


    Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes, soul force spreading out, covering all those present inside.


    Witchcloud��s heart shook slightly, this guy wanted to observe so many people��s pill refinement through soul force?


    Wasn��t this too exaggerated?


    Observing one person refining pills was nothing. But such a complicated thing like pill refinement, wanting to remember every detail of a thousand people, this was virtually something impossible.


    Witchcloud was not saying that Ye Yuan��s soul force was insufficient, but this act needed one��s control of soul force to reach a hair-raising level.


    Even Witchcloud could not possibly fully understand everyone��s strengths and weaknesses.


    Was Ye Yuan deliberately flaunting his skill, or puffing himself up at his own cost?


    Or did he focus his attention on a few people, and would comment on them when the time comes?


    Witchcloud could not tell, he was waiting to see.


    A few days later, everyone finished the pill refinement.


    In fact, there were some people who had already completed their refinement early. Seeing Ye Yuan observing with soul force, they all had scornful looks on their faces.


    This new chief instructor was indeed here to posture!


    This kind of low-grade performance, did he really take them to be fools?


    It was true that Ye Yuan��s strength was strong, but these people were still very unhappy with him in their hearts.


    After all, he rode on top of Lord Witchcloud��s head!


    ��Young Friend Ji, can this Alchemy Hall of mine still enter your arcane sights?�� Witchcloud saw Ye Yuan withdraw his soul force and said with a slight smile.


    He was still very confident regarding the Alchemy Hall��s strength.


    Teaching disciples everything would make the master starve to death.


    Many people would hold something back when they taught disciples.


    But Witchcloud taught these people without holding anything back.


    In the Alchemy Hall, there were several who reached rank three source.


    Therefore, he was very confident in his Alchemy Hall.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��Senior Witchcloud, do you want me to tell you the truth?��


    Witchcloud��s expression choked up. Hearing this meaning, it was so-so!


    One had to know, the Alchemy Hall was already the human race��s alchemy path��s strongest place. Was this fellow still not satisfied?


    Could it be that he was really here to challenge them on purpose?


    Witchcloud��s expression finally turned sullen.


    ��If there��s any problem, Young Friend Ji feel free to say, correct mistakes if any, and guard against them if none has been committed!�� Witchcloud��s tone finally became somewhat unhappy.


    Ye Yuan discerned the displeasure, but he still said, ��To talk about strength, the Alchemy Hall is indeed very powerful. It��s just that �� want to reach the degree where it makes the divine race wary, it��s still far from enough!��


    ��Heh, looks like Lord Chief Instructor is looking down us people here!��


    ��Lord Chief Instructor really doesn��t feel backache when standing up and talking without any responsibility. Alchemy Dao is the process of accumulating day in and day out. So how can wanting to improve it be so easy?��


    ��Rules are intangible existences. Which one of us doesn��t want to reach the level of rules? But under the divine race��s rule, even getting a bit of spirit medicines makes one live in constant fear. How can it be that easy?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately caused a strong backlash.


    This Alchemy Hall was Lord Witchcloud��s painstaking effort. Each of them also made great efforts for the sake of resisting the divine race.


    But reaching Ye Yuan��s mouth, it was like these efforts were not worth mentioning anymore.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said solemnly, ��How strong the divine race is, I think that everyone is clearer than me! The Alchemy Hall is strong, but among the divine race, there are also alchemy path powerhouses who aren��t inferior to us! We have to defeat the divine race. Do you all feel that with your level, it��s enough?��


    The Alchemy Hall��s strength was indeed stronger than the alchemy path of later generations.


    It was just that, it was still not strong enough


    This level was definitely not up to the level that made the divine race apprehensive.


    ��Heh, who doesn��t know how to brag? Didn��t Lord Chief Instructor observe us refining pills? Then about the problems we have, Lord Chief Instructor, please point them out! If Lord Chief Instructor can help us improve our strength, we��re naturally willing too,�� Yang Xiong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Okay, then I��ll say them one by one.��


    As he said, he came before Yang Xiong and held his palm out. That quasi-Dao pill suspended in the palm of his hand.


    ��Senior Yang Xiong��s strength is formidable, but your foundation is too shallow,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment Yang Xiong heard, his lungs also exploded in anger.


    He was already rank three source, Ye Yuan actually said that his foundation was shallow!


    These words were really humiliating!


    ��Oh? Why don��t Lord Chief Instructor talk about how this old man��s foundation is shallow?�� Yang Xiong said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan ignored his anger and continued saying, ��When Senior refined until the two-third mark, do you have a feeling of the spirit being willing, but the flesh is weak? The first half process of this medicinal pill can be rated as perfect. But later on, as the fusion of laws became more and more complex, the problem of your shallow foundation got exposed. Also, Senior��s control over heat is similarly like so ����


    Ye Yuan talked on and on in a flow of eloquence, pointing out Yang Xiong��s problems one by one.


    Yang Xiong originally still had a disdainful look. But later on, the shock in his heart was already showing on his face.


    The problems that Ye Yuan pointed out did not have the slightest error!


    In the view of those people whose strength was lacking, his pill refinement had naturally reached the acme of perfection.


    But in the eyes of true experts, his pill refinement could be said to be full of flaws, especially in the latter half of the process.


    Even the expression on Witchcloud��s face became more and more serious.


    He naturally knew about Yang Xiong��s problems. But he did not expect that Ye Yuan observed so many people at the same time and could actually still see it so meticulously.


    With these many people, even he did not know, but Ye Yuan saw it.


    Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case!


    ��Senior, are there any mistakes with what I said?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Yang Xiong opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but could not speak.


    Witchcloud sucked in a deep breath and said, ��What Young Friend Ji said isn��t wrong at all! It��s just that, attributing these flaws to a shallow foundation is likely not appropriate, right? Yang Xiong is also a patriarch-level powerhouse already. So how can he have this kind of problem?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, don��t be anxious. The Alchemy Hall��s people basically all have problems with unstable foundations. After I point out all of their problems, I��ll talk about them together.��

 Chapter 2389 - Imparting Dao

    Witchcloud��s expression became uglier and uglier.


    These words were equivalent to face-slapping him.


    The Alchemy Hall was single-handedly established by him. These people were also taught by him single-handedly.


    In the end, they were actually issued with an unstable foundation comment by Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not care about their emotions and continued making his comments.


    First, was the rank three source powerhouses. Then it was the rank two source, so on and so forth.


    A thousand people, just the reviewing took a lot of time.


    But, the more everyone listened, the more shocked they got.


    Regardless of whether it was source-level powerhouses, or ordinary Seven-star and Eight-star Alchemy Gods, Ye Yuan covered all details no matter how trivial, picking out all of the problems on them.


    Bit by bit, Ye Yuan said it very seriously.


    At first, everyone was still indifferent.


    But later on, when it was Ye Yuan��s turn to review them, they immediately perked their spirits up 120%, fearful of missing any trace of detail.


    Of course, the problems that existed for each person were different.


    Some were major, some were minor.


    But no matter who it was, it could not escape the ��unstable foundation�� these words.


    This was the thing that Ye Yuan attached the most importance to. No matter how he emphasized it was not overboard.


    Several days later, when Ye Yuan reviewed the last person, the whole audience was deathly silent.


    Everyone stared at Ye Yuan dumbfoundedly, as if looking at a monster.


    They were previously still questioning that Ye Yuan was just deliberately observing a few people.


    No one thought that he actually really saw each person��s shortcomings.


    What was more frightening was that the flaws on each person, he saw it as clearly as viewing a blazing fire, not missing any trace of detail.


    Even it was the slightest minute difference when controlling fire, he could see it clearly.


    This kind of means was truly fantastical.


    ��You �� You ���� Witchcloud opened his mouth and looked at Ye Yuan woodenly, not knowing what he should say.


    But he finally understood why Ye Yuan could crush him in Alchemy Dao.


    This kind of horrifying to the extreme soul force control, even if he cultivated for another 100 million years, it was impossible to reach it too.


    From small to large was easy, from huge to meticulous was difficult!


    The control of soul force, the more meticulous, the harder it was to achieve it.


    Being able to have a panoramic view of the pill refinement of more than a thousand people present with Heavenly Emperor Realm soul force.


    This kind of thing was simply unimaginable!


    ��Senior Witchcloud, I know that you might be somewhat unhappy with me saying that their foundation is unstable. But I didn��t have the intention of targeting you when I said these. You exhausted your mind and body for the myriad races. Junior admires endlessly. It��s just that �� we need to be stronger!�� Ye Yuan looked at Witchcloud and said sincerely.


    Witchcloud forcefully pressed down the shock in his heart and said with a nod, ��You explained the reason why, this old man naturally won��t blame you. This old man still has this bit of breadth of mind.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I believe that everyone present should all know Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand, right?��


    Someone immediately said unhappily, ��Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand is a rank one refinement technique, who doesn��t know! Lord Chief Instructor, you��re completely looking down on us!��


    Since arriving at this era, Ye Yuan naturally researched the alchemy techniques of this era too.


    This Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand was the basic refinement technique in ancient times.


    Although the two eras�� refinement techniques had differences in method, the principle was the same.


    With Ye Yuan��s horizons, cultivating a foundation refinement technique was naturally effortless.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Okay, then you demonstrate it for me to see.��


    The one talking was an Eight-star Alchemy God, also a major power of a region.


    Hearing Ye Yuan call his name, he laughed coldly and stepped out of the ranks to demonstrate the Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand once.


    An Eight-star Alchemy God demonstrating a rank one refinement technique, it was naturally extraordinary.


    All around, there were cheering voices.


    After he finished demonstrating, he said to Ye Yuan as if putting on a show of force, ��Lord Chief Instructor, can it still enter your arcane sights?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Not bad, indeed have some skill.��


    He still smiled coldly and said, ��Your Excellency saying this, you��re naturally stronger than me. I want to see what kind of trick Your Excellency can pull out of the hat, with a measly little Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Curling his fingertips, countless fine threads with substance shockingly formed.


    This was precisely Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand.


    The Eight-star Alchemy God said disdainfully, ��Your Excellency��s Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand is stronger than mine, but what��s the use of this? What has it got to do with unstable foundation?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him. His technique suddenly changed.


    Everyone��s faces suddenly changed wildly.


    Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand was still Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand.


    But the feeling that it gave everyone was already totally different.


    This technique suddenly became ever-changing in Ye Yuan��s hand, bedazzling like Great Dao descending.


    Those who did not know would think that he was demonstrating a technique of Dao pill.


    But everyone present was very clear. This was Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand!


    The shock before their eyes was seriously too intense.


    Witchcloud��s two eyes became even rounder, the glimmer in his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.


    He was standing at the summit of Alchemy Dao to begin with. What he witnessed was naturally not what bystanders could compare to.


    Ye Yuan��s Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand was already close to Dao!


    Cultivating a rank one refinement technique to the level of ��Dao��!


    Witchcloud��s breathing suddenly became ragged.


    He finally understood what the unstable foundation Ye Yuan was talking about was referring to.


    He also finally understood why he lost to the Ye Yuan who was only rank three source.


    The disparity between him and Ye Yuan was not a tiny bit!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan pulled back his hand gestures. A myriad of brilliance suddenly converged.


    The entire audience fell into death-like silence once more.


    The Eight-star Alchemy God opened his mouth wide, wanting to speak, but he did not speak in the end.


    Ye Yuan really performed magic with the Thousand Thread Cloud Folding Hand!


    ��Saw clearly, Senior?�� Ye Yuan looked at the Witchcloud with a shocked face, as he said with a smile.


    Witchcloud suddenly startled, only then, coming back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, ��Understood! You��re giving face to this old man. It��s not that some of their foundations are unstable, but that all of our foundations are unstable! If one can casually refine a technique to the level of ��Dao��, why would they worry about not reaching the level of rule?��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Senior is an understanding person! Looks like there��s no need for me to explain anymore. From tomorrow onward, I��ll spread Dao in the Alchemy Hall for a year. Senior, call some more people over. I hope that the future Alchemy Hall will have someone who can reach the level of a true Dao pill in the future!��


    Witchcloud had a solemn look and slowly nodded his head.


    Hence, Ye Yuan started spreading his Dao in another spacetime once more.


    Witchcloud, this alchemy path��s number one person, also sat below respectfully, listening to Ye Yuan��s preaching on Dao.


    The more he listened, the more shocked he got.


    Ye Yuan��s spreading of Dao opened up another window for him.


    He finally understood why he kept failing to reach rank five.


    Foundation!


    This extremely ridiculous thing in his view was actually the biggest obstacle to restricting his progress!


    In terms of talent, these alchemy path powerhouses in front of him were indeed stronger than later generations.


    Ye Yuan knew that as long as a clear path was pointed out to them, they would definitely reach the other side.


    He did not know how many Dao pill powerhouses appeared later, but Ye Yuan was certain that there should have been more than one!


    Otherwise, it was impossible for Originguard to have been so afraid!

 Chapter 2390 - Heavenly Hidden World

    When the words stopped, everyone was shocked!


    This one year of preaching was undoubtedly a gluttonous feast to the people of the Alchemy Hall.


    Everyone was immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.


    When Ye Yuan finished talking, they were still dissatisfied.


    Witchcloud��s reaction at this time was virtually the same as Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s reaction back then.


    Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan already became different.


    Previously, they were still worried that Ye Yuan was here to steal the limelight.


    But at this time, they felt that there was already no need.


    This person did not need to snatch the limelight at all.


    This was a complete cultivation system. This was a Great Dao that led to the heavens!


    Listening entirely to Ye Yuan preaching on the Dao until the end, they also finally understood what he meant by having an unstable foundation.


    ��Listening to Master Ji talk, Witchcloud feels enlightened all at once! Master Ji is high above. Please accept a bow from Witchcloud!��


    As he said, Witchcloud bowed deeply toward Ye Yuan.


    Everyone was incredibly shocked!


    ��This �� This �� Lord Witchcloud is actually treating Chief Instructor with the etiquette of a disciple!��


    ��Master Ji can afford it! Just this preaching, Lord Witchcloud��s title of number one person in the world is about to change hands!��


    ��Master Ji wasn��t the slightest bit stingy, demonstrating Great Dao to us. He can bear this solemn bow! Let��s bow too!��


    �� ��


    After the shock, everyone woke up.


    Rank three source powerhouses took the lead to bow first.


    The rest also bowed down one after another.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped Witchcloud up and said, ��Senior Witchcloud is killing me. Senior exhausted your mind and body for the human race. I can��t accept this bow.��


    Witchcloud said firmly, ��Just based on this Dao preaching, you can bear it! Master Ji, you don��t have to refuse, in the future, this old man will address you as Master Ji!��


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only say: ��Fine then, that��s also up to you. I��ll leave behind inheritances in the Alchemy Hal. What you don��t understand, everyone can come and ask me. But this Alchemy Hall still needs Senior Witchcloud to give a lot of care.��


    Witchcloud hurriedly said, ��This is within this old man��s duty to begin with. Where��s the talk of giving a lot of care?��


    �� ��


    ��There��s actually such a thing? This kid actually has such high attainments in Alchemy Dao?��


    Hearing that Witchcloud actually addressed him as ��Master Ji��, Jian Rufeng was shocked until he was dumbstruck with amazement.


    Before this, Ye Yuan did not reveal anything to him.


    When Ye Yuan went to the Alchemy Hall, he also found it quite strange at that time.


    His thinking was the same as the rest, also thinking that Ye Yuan went to suppress Witchcloud and establish his prestige.


    Regarding this action of Ye Yuan, he did not say anything, but he felt somewhat disdainful in his heart.


    This kind of action was still a little too childish.


    He even doubted a little, whether he made a wrong decision or not, and used the wrong person.


    But hearing Witchcloud��s words at this time was no less than a clap of thunder exploding.


    He and Witchcloud were life-and-death buddies. So he naturally knew his alchemy path strength, and also knew how highly he regarded himself in alchemy.


    But he actually carried out the etiquette of a disciple toward Ye Yuan!


    He originally invited Ye Yuan back, hoping that Ye Yuan would leave behind the legacies of the few great laws.


    But who knew that there was actually still such an unexpected harvest.


    Witchcloud nodded and said, ��I can��t use having high attainments to describe anymore already! If anyone in this world can reach the realm of rules, it��s undoubtedly him for sure! This old man is inferior to him! Far, far inferior!��


    Jian Rufeng was shocked for a while before he slowly said, ��Looks like, really picked up a treasure! With him, our plan can be started in advance!��


    Witchcloud��s face changed and he said with a frown, ��So fast? You ����


    Jian Rufeng waved his hand and said smilingly, ��Old Friend, why is there a need to be like this? There will come this day, you don��t need to be sad. Moreover, I also won��t die right away after entering the Heavenly Hidden World. The growth of geniuses requires the accumulation of time, and time waits for no man! Furthermore, the burden on you, old friend, is even heavier than mine! Dead, dead, death squares all accounts. I won��t know anything anymore after dying. But the ones who are alive will carry heavier burdens!��


    Hence, an extremely huge project was carried out in secret just like that.


    This project looked simple but was actually complicated to the extreme.


    One had to know, the Sentry Celestial Palaces monitored the world. They knew about the various sects�� affairs like the back of their hand.


    Wanting to move these geniuses into the Heavenly Hidden World, it needed to hide from their eyes and ears, and could not reveal any clues or inkling.


    Once their suspicions were aroused, it would all fail just one step short of success.


    Fortunately, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had long already made perfect preparations. Implementing them now, things were done systematically.


    In the entire Heavenspan World, the myriad races�� geniuses were moved into the Heavenly Hidden World batch after batch.


    This was a colossal project. It was naturally impossible to be accomplished overnight.


    This process would likely last for a thousand years.


    Ye Yuan was the first batch to enter the Heavenly Hidden World.


    He did not enter with the identity of a genius but entered with the identity of a chief instructor.


    Of course, there was also the first batch of geniuses who entered together with him.


    They were all selected by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets. Each person��s potential was tremendous.


    They were the unpredictable children!


    However, the first batch of unpredictable children who entered were not many. There were just 100 thousand people or so.


    The geniuses subsequently were still entering one after another.


    Of course, Jian Rufeng, Witchcloud, and the rest, they all established a complete advancement system.


    These geniuses would undergo the cruelest competition.


    On this day, several young people gathered together, seemingly discussing something.


    A young man wearing a silk headdress on his head said, ��Did you guys hear? Our chief instructor is actually just a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor!��


    Another genius could not help laughing as he said, ��Shang Hang, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor possibly be our chief instructor? His strength is likely not even our match!��


    This young man who was wearing a silk headdress on his head was precisely the Grand Ancestor Spacetime whose fame shook the world later on, Shang Hang!


    Shang Hang shook his head and said, ��I��m not talking nonsense! You guys know that Qin Chao, right?��


    Another person said disdainfully, ��Of course we know! It��s said that he has connections. He��s that chief instructor��s personal disciple, and he has already been designated as a core legacy disciple!��


    Shang Hang nodded and said, ��The news came from him, it won��t be wrong!��


    ��No way, right? Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor, this is also too much of a joke! We entered the Heavenly Hidden World for the human race��s future! But those lords upstairs actually used a Seventh Firmament Heavenly Emperor to hoodwink us?! This is truly preposterous!�� The moment another genius heard, he immediately exploded.


    ��Yeah! It��s been two years. That guy never even showed his face. It��s really outrageous!��


    ��What are the heads of those people upstairs used for? Can��t they see it?��


    Shang Hang smiled coldly and said, ��Ever since this chief instructor entered the Heavenly Hidden World, he has been in closed-seclusion in Inquire Heavenly Palace. No idea what he��s trying to do either. He doesn��t take us to heart at all. The few of you, you dare to rush into the Inquire Heavenly Palace with me or not?��


    The moment the few people heard, their faces immediately changed drastically.


    Entering the Inquire Heavenly Palace was a major crime!


    The few of them could not resist backing out.


    Shang Hang sneered and said, ��What? Like this and you��re scared? Facing the divine race in the future will be ten thousand times more dangerous than this! You guys don��t even have this bit of courage, and yet you all are talking about killing divine race for what?��

 Chapter 2391 - Inheritance Grand Array!

    ��Lord Wenshui, we��ve already come to the Heavenly Hidden World for five years and haven��t even met the chief instructor. This cannot be justified no matter what, right?�� Shang Hang said with a forthright look.


    In front of him was an old man with a long beard.


    Honestly speaking, he was also very puzzled by Ye Yuan confining himself inside.


    This chief instructor that Lord Profound Secrets sent for wouldn��t be making use of Deicide��s resources to only care about his own cultivation, right?


    ��This �� His Excellency is currently in closed-seclusion. So it��s not convenient for me to disturb too.��


    Heavenly Emperor Wenshui was sent to serve as Ye Yuan��s follower by the higher-ups. Although he was a Deva powerhouse, he was still a head lower in front of Ye Yuan��s identity.


    After all, Ye Yuan was beneath one person and above millions.


    Shang Hang sneered coldly when he heard that and said, ��Heh! He, this chief instructor, is really taking it easy. Making use of Deicide��s cultivation resources every day, and in the end, he doesn��t care about anything. Lord Wenshui, if he doesn��t come out today, we won��t leave! Whatever for the sake of overthrowing the divine race��s rule, fuck that bullshit, we��re not entertaining anymore!��


    The current Shang Hang was simply a hothead, being far less level-headed and imposing compared to his future character.


    Wenshui also leaned toward their opinion in his heart. He also felt that Ye Yuan was going somewhat overboard.


    But Ye Yuan gave the orders. No one was allowed to disturb him. So Wenshui was really in a dilemma.


    Wenshui let out a sigh and said, ��Sigh, honestly speaking, I also don��t know why upstairs let him be the chief instructor. But since it��s an order, this emperor must carry it out! You all are not to cause a racket!��


    ��Eh, Lord Chief Instructor!�� Shang Hang��s eyes suddenly lit up, looking in the direction of Inquire Heavenly Palace.


    Wenshui was stunned and could not help turning his head.


    A hint of cunningness flashed across in Shang Hang��s eyes, his body already floating toward Inquire Heavenly Palace.


    Wenshui was alarmed and said, ��Fine lad, want to rush over from under this emperor��s hands, no chance!��


    His reaction was extremely fast too. But just as he made a move, he suddenly discovered that something was not right.


    The surrounding spacetime had been distorted to varying degrees.


    Although this could not stop him, in just this short while, Shang Hang already flew in.


    Wenshui turned pale with fright, secretly thinking to himself that this brat was so impressive, to actually comprehend spacetime law at the same time!


    But just as he was surprised, Shang Hang retreated with an even faster speed.


    All of a sudden, he landed on the ground, footsteps retreating repeatedly, only barely managing to stand still after several dozen steps.


    Shang Hang had a pale face, his eyes full of shock.


    ��S-Spacetime law!��


    Shang Hang never thought that there were actually also others who grasped spacetime law!


    Furthermore, in terms of strength, he could not catch up even if he whipped his horse!


    A figure slowly walked out, as if walking over from the fog. Everyone could not see him clearly at all.


    This person was clearly standing in front of them, but they could not see this person��s features clearly!


    Unfathomable!


    At this time, this was the thought in the hearts of all the geniuses.


    The arrival asked nonchalantly, ��What��s your name?��


    Shang Hang��s expression was rather ugly, he still answered, ��S-Shang Hang.��


    A hint of a smile appeared on Ye Yuan��s face. He did not expect that traveling through spacetime, he actually arrived at Grand Ancestor Spacetime��s youth era.


    But, thinking about it, Ye Yuan also felt relieved.


    Spacetime Reversal Chaos was the heaven-defying martial technique of Shang Hang, and he triggered Shang Hang��s Spacetime Reversal Chaos in later generations. Traveling through spacetime should also be related to Shang Hang.


    But the current Shang Hang had a look of immaturity, being far from the future version of him showing disdain on all under the heavens.


    Even if it was just a wisp of remnant consciousness, that sort of aura that considered all beneath his notice, was not the slightest bit diminished too.


    ��You can comprehend spacetime law at the same time, very good!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Shang Hang had a look of embarrassment and said unwillingly, ��Is Your Excellency mocking me? What does my bit of meager cultivation base count as in front of you?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re not as good as me right now, but you��ll surely achieve great things in the future! Even that divine race��s progenitor, where��s the harm in battling?��


    Shang Hang yearned for it as he listened, but he immediately smiled bitterly and said, ��Your Excellency is thinking too much. These two power of laws are overly abstruse. Junior is already feeling somewhat struggling to make ends meet now.��


    Ye Yuan did not follow up, but asked, ��Then, what did you guys forcefully rush Inquire Heavenly Palace for?��


    Upon hearing this, Shang Hang was invigorated.


    But at the thought of Ye Yuan��s strength, he was like a deflated balloon, immediately shriveling up.


    They originally wanted to challenge Ye Yuan, but just now, Ye Yuan did not make a move at all, just mobilizing the power of law a little and he returned to his original spot involuntarily.


    This kind of means was truly inconceivable.


    If Ye Yuan wanted to kill him, it was merely a matter of a single thought.


    ��Your Excellency, you as the chief instructor, have never appeared in five years. It��s chilling the hearts of the myriad races�� geniuses!�� Shang Hang said forcefully.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he smiled and said, ��It��s only been five years, and you can��t wait for this bit of time too? You guys are also too impatient!��


    Shang Hang smiled coldly and said, ��Who knows what Your Excellency is thinking? If we didn��t come to forcefully rush Inquire Heavenly Palace, Your Excellency probably won��t leave seclusion for ten years, even 100 years too, right? Lord Profound Secrets inviting you to be the chief instructor, it is not to let you cultivate yourself daily, but it is to groom the human race��s powerhouses! No matter how strong you alone are, how can you deal with the divine race��s major powers?��


    Ye Yuan fell silent.


    He could feel Shang Hang��s desire to grow strong, that sort of obsession was almost bursting out of his body.


    These few in front of him were all like that.


    It was precisely this sort of powerful desire that let them become that powerful, right?


    When Shang Hang saw Ye Yuan��s appearance, he still thought that he was acknowledging that he was in the wrong, and said with a cold smile, ��Nothing to say? Someone like you isn��t fit to be the chief instructor at all! You are the moth of Deicide!��


    These words were said rather nastily.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��Is that so? You guys follow me.��


    Finished talking, he turned around and flew in the direction of Inquire Heavenly Palace.


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant but still followed after.


    ��What kind of tricks is this person going to play?��


    ��Shang Hang, you��re dead for sure! You said it so nastily just now. He��s definitely going to punish you underhandedly!��


    ��Humph! Scared for what? What I said is the truth!��


    The few people followed behind, whispering quietly.


    However, entering Inquire Heavenly Palace, everyone became dumbfounded.


    ��These �� What are these?��


    When Shang Hang saw the scenery before his eyes, his entire person was stunned.


    In front of him, there was a series of complicated to the extreme grand arrays.


    These array formations were linked with one another, being incomparably complicated and profound.


    Glancing over, it was like a dreamy ocean. It was exquisitely beautiful!


    With their horizons, they could not see through the actual situation in front of them at all.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Wenshui was also stunned at this time.


    These five years�� time, he was tinkering with these things inside?


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said smilingly, ��Don��t you guys want to become strong? These array formations can help you all become strong! I��ve been thinking on how to impart the power of laws that I comprehended to you guys to the maximum limit. It��s just that preaching Dao to you guys every day is clearly not a good idea. Some things can only be understood and not expressed with words. Now, I��ve integrated all that I��ve learned during my lifetime into these array formations. As long as your talents are sufficient, you��ll naturally be able to comprehend.��


    Shang Hang opened his mouth wide, looking at Ye Yuan with a shocked face, wanting to speak. But he discovered that his throat seemed to be blocked. He was unable to speak no matter what.

 Chapter 2392 - Giving a Man a Fish Is Not as Good as Teaching Him How to Fish

    When Ye Yuan set up formations, he had always accomplished it at one stroke.


    The array formation that he set up for five years, it could be imagined how complicated it was.


    During these five years, he could be said to have exhausted his mind and body, connecting his comprehensions and source laws to the maximum limit, expending a lot of energy.


    These inheritance grand arrays not only contained his own comprehensions, but they also contained the cultivation methods for Five Element Laws as well as lightning law.


    Although Ye Yuan did not cultivate the Five Element Laws, he had fought with Wan Zhen before and had his own unique understanding of the balance of the Five Element Laws.


    Although his realm was not high, his horizons were extremely far.


    It could be said that the height he was standing at now was unmatched by anyone.


    He was standing at the height equal to heaven!


    There were thousands of Great Daos. Reaching the extreme was arriving at the same destination via different means.


    Regardless of which kind of law, what it pointed to in the end was all ��Dao.��


    He did not cultivate the five elements, but it did not hinder him from helping other people cultivate the five elements with array formations.


    These inheritance grand arrays were extremely cumbersome, but in the end, there were only 18 grand arrays!


    After Ye Yuan finished setting it up, he himself also jumped in fright.


    These 18 grand arrays, didn��t it correspond precisely to the 18 grand ancestors later on?


    Could it be that the 18 grand ancestors were all nurtured from his grand arrays?


    ��Didn��t you all want to become stronger? Alright, all go and test it out then. I want to see which of you have the highest talent,�� Ye Yuan said with a look of amusement.


    Ye Yuan��s expression triggered everyone all at once.


    Didn��t you all say that I wasn��t teaching? Now, I��ve built the house. Just see if you guys have the ability to carry it away or not.


    Shang Hang gritted his teeth and said, ��I��ll go!��


    As he said, he plunged head-first into the spatial grand array.


    ��Pffft!��


    Shang Hang just entered the grand array and was immediately bounced back, severely wounded and vomiting blood.


    The group of geniuses had shocked faces. How to play like this?


    Ye Yuan looked at Shang Hang and said, ��Start from the beginning. Don��t reach beyond your grasp! Is your foundation really laid solidly? These grand arrays require you all to start over from the top one step at a time. Rashly rushing the formation will be life-threatening.��


    Shang Hang had a gloomy look as he said, ��Why didn��t you say it earlier?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In order to make you suffer a bit.��


    Shang Hang rolled his eyes, but he realized that justice was not on his side. He could not say anything either.


    Entering the formation again, the geniuses were all very cautious, starting from the beginning.


    They chose the inheritance grand array that they were most adept in and entered inside.


    The longer Shang Hang stayed in the array formation, the more alarmed he got.


    This spatial inheritance grand array seemed to be tailor-made for him.


    Ye Yuan did not put his spatial law into the grand array, but he formulated a whole set of training methods!


    This kind of training method could let him comprehend spatial law faster and more thoroughly.


    In other words, he was teaching you how to grasp spatial law, and not teaching you what was spatial law.


    Shang Hang felt alarmed, what kind of height was he standing at, to be able to set up such a heaven-defying array formation?


    Heavenly Emperor Wenshui��s horizons were extremely far. He also saw through the inklings very quickly.


    His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan immediately became different.


    ��Your Excellency really made contributions that will remain eternal for generations to come! I think that some of them already have considerable harvests. Your Excellency��s inheritance grand arrays really broaden people��s horizons! This old man has never seen before that power of laws can actually be passed on like this!�� Wenshui exclaimed in shock.


    Inheritance grand arrays, to these geniuses, they were tantamount to a good rain after a long drought!


    Such an advanced training method opened up a door for them.


    Entering for the first time would be when they benefited the most.


    The effects could be said to be instantly seen!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Each person��s path is different. The laws that they comprehended will also be different. Although cultivation methods are good, the achievements are limited. Teaching them the way to cultivate and letting them go and fumble their own Dao, this is the king��s way!��


    Wenshui exclaimed, ��A terrific giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish! Lord Profound Secrets indeed has a sharp eye for discovering able people! With Your Excellency being the chief instructor, overthrowing the divine race is right around the corner!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not speak.


    During these five years�� time, his own gains had also been tremendous.


    In the past five years, his spacetime law became increasingly profound.


    This was also the reason why those geniuses could not see Ye Yuan��s face clearly.


    Even if he did not deliberately mobilize the power of spacetime, it was as if he was situated in spacetime too.


    Naturally, he could not be seen clearly.


    Being able to set up these 18 grand arrays required him to expend tremendous effort in the first place.


    This was similarly a systematic training to Ye Yuan.


    The angle at which he stood at, it was even more unimaginable for bystanders.


    But after these five years, Ye Yuan faintly had a trace of feeling. It seemed like it was not far away from the time he had to leave.


    In the end, Wenshui could not resist too, entering the grand array.


    Ye Yuan just watched quietly by the side. He was observing these geniuses.


    A month later, many geniuses already could not hold on anymore.


    When their gains exceeded their abilities, they would not be able to stay in the grand array anymore.


    They needed time to digest these improvements.


    The earlier one came out, the worse their talent.


    The later one came out, the better the talent.


    Among these people, it was indeed still Shang Hang who was the last to come out.


    The power of law that he comprehended was the hardest, but he was the one who lasted the longest.


    It was also no wonder that he could become Grand Ancestor Spacetime in the future.


    ��Your Excellency, I was wrong!��


    After Shang Hang came out of the formation, the first thing he did was not to get excited but to come before Ye Yuan with a look of shame and admit his fault respectfully.


    He cultivated for a full half a year��s time in this grand array.


    This half a year��s time, his spatial law advanced by leaps and bounds, it was almost comparable to his ten thousand years of effort in the past.


    Concerning the power of this grand array, there was already no need for him to say anymore.


    He also deeply understood how valuable these grand arrays that Ye Yuan spent five years to build were!


    Perhaps the rise of the human race depended on these 18 grand arrays!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Why are you wrong?��


    Shang Hang said in shame, ��Your Excellency is a celestial being. This disciple shouldn��t have blamed Your Excellency wrongly!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��There��s nothing wrong with your desire to become strong. Previously I was just cracking a joke with you. You and I still have fate in the future. This destined meeting shall span spacetime.��


    Shang Hang discerned Ye Yuan��s overtones and said in surprise, ��Isn��t Your Excellency leading us to resist the divine race together? With Your Excellency around, the world will be ours in the future!��


    He examined his own conscience and felt that his talent was extremely high. But in front of Ye Yuan, what did he count as?


    Ye Yuan was the human race��s true future!


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��I also want to fight side-by-side with you all. But it��s just a pity that �� some things can��t be helped! But you rest assured, some things can��t be avoided. No matter where I am, I��ll fight with the divine race to the end!��


    The group of geniuses felt baffled as they listened. These words seemed to have the intention of beating a retreat.


    Could it be that this chief instructor was scared?


    They simply could not understand what Spacetime Reversal Chaos was.


    Because even Ye Yuan himself was unable to understand it.

 Chapter 2393 - Farewell

    ��Is it possible that Your Excellency is afraid of death?��


    Shang Hang just admitted his fault, but the expression on his face at this time became gloomy again.


    Toward Ye Yuan��s behavior of cravenly clinging to life instead of braving death, he was very disapproving.


    Ye Yuan was unable to stifle his laughter and said, ��You��ll understand in the future.��


    Shang Hang had a sullen face as he said, ��Humph! All excuses! Who can know about the future? Even Lord Profound Secrets can��t possibly calculate events of the future too. So how would you know? In fact, you don��t even dare to show yourself with your true self!��


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, ��I said this before. You��ll understand in the future. The destiny between you and me isn��t over.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan turned around and left, leaving behind the stunned-looking group.


    �� ��


    With the inheritance grand arrays, Inquire Heavenly Palace became the land of inheritance.


    Every day, countless geniuses gathered here, cultivating inside the inheritance grand arrays.


    This place became the manufacturing plant of powerhouses.


    When Profound Secrets and Witchcloud and the rest learned of this, each and every one of them was inexplicably surprised.


    At this time, no one felt conflicted with this decision of Profound Secrets��s anymore. On the contrary, they felt that he was extremely wise.


    As for Ye Yuan, he dwelled in deep seclusion these days and rarely showed his face, becoming mysterious.


    But very soon, another incident happened that made the entire Deicide��s upper echelons become depressed.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Jian Rufeng vomited fresh blood, his entire person appearing very downcast.


    This was already the seventh time he vomited blood today.


    These days, the frequency of his blood vomiting had clearly increased dramatically, casting a shadow over the entire Deicide.


    ��Didn��t you say that there��s still at least several thousand years�� time? Why �� is it like this?�� Witchcloud��s expression was ugly as he said.


    Jian Rufeng had a haggard face, but his spirit was very healthy. He smiled and said, ��Huhu, Old Friend, this is a good thing! With your intelligence, can��t you guess why is it like this?��


    Witchcloud��s frowned and mused for a moment. Suddenly, his two eyes went wide and he exclaimed, ��You��re saying that the inheritance grand arrays, which Young Friend Ji created, made the auras of the Heavenly Hidden World��s geniuses skyrocket? That��s why it added a heavy burden on you, and it hastened the arrival of this day?��


    Jian Rufeng nodded slightly and said, ��This boy is truly a rare genius of the current age. With him around, why worry that our great cause won��t succeed?��


    Witchcloud frowned and said, ��But don��t you feel that he��s a little strange recently? I heard the people below say, he said that he won��t be taking part in the war with the divine race! Could it be that he��s actually someone who clings to life and fears death?��


    Jian Rufeng waved his hand and said, ��How can someone who clings to life and fears death challenge the Sentry Celestial Palace by himself? My old friend, you make the arrangements. Three days later, my Jian Family��s 100 people shall die martyrs in the performance of our duties and permanently shield Heavenly Hidden World.��


    Witchcloud��s expression changed. His eyes were glimmering with tears as he said, ��Must it be so fast?��


    Jian Rufeng smiled and said, ��What difference does a day earlier make? What does a day later matter? What��s coming, will always come. Oh, right, have Ye Yuan come too, I have some words to say to him.��


    �� ��


    Three days later, several hundred thousand geniuses gathered.


    The Jian Family��s 100 major powers stood behind Jian Rufeng in silence.


    Many geniuses already had their eyes brimmed over with hot tears.


    The silence currently, was the prelude to a tragic song.


    Everyone knew what was going to happen next.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he felt sorrow in his heart too.


    He did not expect that because of his inheritance grand arrays, it actually accelerated Jian Rufeng��s death.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was the present era��s top major power. But his power alone was insufficient to shield heaven��s secrets.


    Hence, these 100 major powers of the Jian Family would be martyred together with him.


    The Jian Family was really an admirable family!


    Ye Yuan saw that there was a child beside Jian Rufeng, who vaguely had the appearance of the Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets of the later generations.


    Ye Yuan was astonished, he did not expect that he could actually meet the next generation Profound Secrets here.


    Jian Rufeng stood proudly, his gaze sweeping over the group of geniuses, revealing a look of relief.


    Seeing these geniuses mature well one by one, was the drive for his willing martyrdom!


    These geniuses were the human race��s future.


    ��Seeing you all grow so quickly, this ancestor feels relieved! This ancestor dying in the cause of justice isn��t considered a major event originally. But calling you all over today, it��s to awaken the hot blood in your hearts with my death. Resistance will lead to death! Today, it��s this ancestor dying for the cause of justice. In the future, the vast majority of you guys will similarly have to be martyred!��


    ��You all remember this. Dying is very easy; those who are alive are the ones carrying the burden and advancing! The burden on you all is thousands of times heavier than this ancestor! I hope that from this day forth, you all will go and cultivate with a thousand, ten thousand times the effort, to exchange for the future hope of all races! Do you all understand?��


    Each of Jian Rufeng��s words was heavy, shocking the soul.


    The geniuses present all choked up.


    Jian Rufeng used his lofty sentiments to infect everyone present, including Ye Yuan.


    At this moment, the blood within his body seemed to be immolating too.


    How much did he want to stay behind, to fight side-by-side with these lovable people!


    Ye Yuan thought of this.


    It was just that he knew that that was impossible. Because the feeling of him leaving became stronger and stronger.


    He seemed to be able to feel an inexplicable call.


    ��Understood!��


    The reply was as loud as a clap of thunder.


    Jian Rufeng looked at the child next to him, a hint of doting flashing across in his eyes.


    ��He��s called Jian Haoran, this ancestor��s youngest son. He possesses this ancestor��s bloodline. After I die, he��ll be the next generation Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!�� Jian Rufeng said.


    ��We pledge our lives to protect Young Master Haoran!�� The group of geniuses said in a clear voice.


    But Jian Rufeng shook his head and said, ��There are no cowards among my Jian Family��s men! Haoran, although you��re young, Father��s unfulfilled ambitions need you to fulfill them! Can you do it?��


    Although Jian Haoran was young, under Jian Rufeng��s influence, he already had the air of a general.


    His childishness had yet to shed, as he said in a childish voice, ��Our Jian Family occupies the destiny of the human race, and we should be the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts! Devoting my life to duty, till my heart ceases beating!��


    Jian Rufeng laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, indeed my good son!��


    In such adverse circumstances, the Jian Family could become such a leviathan, they indeed occupied the human race��s destiny.


    But Jian Rufeng did not pat himself on the back, and instead regurgitation-fed the human race with the Jian Family��s destiny, which was truly able to evoke praises and tears.


    Ye Yuan felt touched. Jian Haoran said this, and his family also did so.


    Even after tens of billions of years, his original intention never changed too.


    The Jian Family��s people were indeed remarkable!


    Suddenly, Jian Rufeng��s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan, and his pupils could not help shrinking.


    He had not seen Ye Yuan for some time already. Seeing him again at this time, he discovered that the aura on Ye Yuan��s body underwent a huge change.


    Ye Yuan this person was clearly standing there, but it gave him an extremely unreal feeling.


    As if, he was independent outside of this world!


    He could not help but recall those rumors, could they �� be true?


    But what in the world was going on?


    ��Ji Qingyun, can �� you stay and save the myriad races from extreme misery?�� Jian Rufeng asked, being rather uncertain.


    Originally, he was very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    With him around, that was why he would leave with peace of mind.


    But, if Ye Yuan was not around, then would their efforts still succeed?


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan, waiting for his answer.

 Chapter 2394 - Both Happy and Tragic!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Everyone used expectant gazes to look at Ye Yuan, hoping to get his affirmative answer.


    Presently, everyone understood the significance of Ye Yuan��s existence!


    He was too important to the human race!


    Seeing these expectant gazes, Ye Yuan also could not bear it in his heart.


    He knew that these peerless geniuses, including Shang Hang, would not be able to escape the fate of demise in the future.


    ��Very sorry, I��m afraid that �� I can��t do it.�� Ye Yuan sighed quietly and said.


    Buzz!


    The geniuses present exploded at once.


    Originally, this rumor was just some gossip. Many people did not believe it.


    But when Ye Yuan personally confirmed it, they could not accept it at all.


    ��Why? Lord Chief Instructor is the deity in my heart! He �� He��s actually so afraid of risking his neck!��


    ��With His Excellency around, why worry about not being able to overthrow the divine race? Why? Why is he such a person?��


    ��My God, the perfect image in my heart has collapsed!��


    �� ��


    Following the appearance of the inheritance grand arrays, Ye Yuan was pushed up the altar.


    The growth in strength was visible to the naked eye.


    Hundreds of thousands of geniuses growing at the same time, this kind of increase could be rated as terrifying.


    Someone as powerful as Jian Rufeng could not endure it anymore as well.


    The delight of having growth in strength was something that no one could give to them.


    Profound Secrets could shield heaven��s secrets, but it was also just to not let the divine race discover them. It could not make them become stronger.


    The person who made them become stronger was Ye Yuan!


    This kind of means already surpassed their imagination.


    So these few years, Ye Yuan had already been regarded by them as an existence on par with Profound Secrets.


    Even a fool could also tell how great the significance of these 18 inheritance grand arrays was.


    But now, Ye Yuan who they viewed as a god actually did not dare to face the divine race.


    This fact, they were seriously unable to accept it.


    ��Ji Qingyun! Where did the drive when you wiped out the Sentry Celestial Palaces and faced countless divine race powerhouses by yourself back then, all go to?�� Witchcloud shouted angrily and berated painfully.


    He was disappointed to the extreme with Ye Yuan��s answer.


    Ye Yuan had long already used his strength to conquer him, this alchemy path��s number one person.


    But that was all established on the basis of overthrowing the divine race.


    Now, he discovered that Ye Yuan was actually such a person. This made him unable to accept it.


    Facing the questioning voices that filled the sky, Ye Yuan was just silent.


    Only Jian Rufeng was absorbed in thought. Waving his hand, he said in a solemn voice, ��Alright, you all don��t have to be like this! No matter how he chooses, that��s his own business! No matter what, Young Friend Ji��s contributions far outweigh his faults! It was him who brought us hope! Even if he chooses to leave, we don��t have the qualifications to question him too!��


    Finished saying, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said, ��Young Friend Ji, no matter what, this ancestor represents all races and thank you!��


    As he said, he gave a deep bow toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was startled and hurriedly returned the bow.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    Although they were unable to accept it emotionally, they understood that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� words were not wrong.


    If not for Ye Yuan��s appearance, this plan that was carefully planned by Deicide might just be an after-meal joke to the divine race.


    But with Ye Yuan��s inheritance grand array, everything was different!


    After bowing, Jian Rufeng turned to his clansmen, his face revealing a reluctant look, as he choked up and said, ��Gentlemen, having you all die together with me today, I, Jian Rufeng, have let you all down! Heavenly Dao samsara, if there��s an afterlife, I, Jian Rufeng, am willing to toil like a slave to repay you all!��


    As he said, he also gave a deep bow toward his clan members.


    The clan members were greatly alarmed and returned the bow as they said, ��Family Head is overwhelming us! Family Head is doing it for the people of the world, we��re willing to follow in death!��


    Jian Rufeng��s gaze turned intent and he said in a clear voice, ��Good! You all are my Jian Family��s fine sons! Let��s �� get started!��


    Everyone said in unison, ��We follow Family Head��s orders!��


    This conversation did not have any pretentiousness for effect, it was full of a stirring and solemn noble spirit to die.


    Hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded men, how fired up with boundless enthusiasm were they?


    But at this time, they were already sobbing too much to talk.


    These hundreds of thousands of people, many of them were personally scouted by Jian Rufeng.


    Jian Rufeng was very heroic and generous as a person, with a leader��s temperament that brought people into submission.


    Toward these juniors, he had never put on airs, rather like a brother being long-winded.


    Just like with Ye Yuan, after meeting him, Jian Rufeng directly designated him to be the chief instructor.


    This kind of breadth of spirit, even Ye Yuan was brought into submission.


    The rise of the human could not do without Ye Yuan, much less without Jian Rufeng!


    Ye Yuan only left behind inheritances. But this foundation was forged little by little, with Jian Rufeng expending countless years.


    To talk about contributions, Ye Yuan really did not dare to take credit.


    Why did the Jian Family develop into the Heavenspan World��s number one major family in the future?


    This was not unrelated to what Jian Rufeng paid back then.


    Regardless of whether it was the human race, or demon race, or fiend race, or other races, they would all give the Jian Family face!


    Therefore, the Jian Family��s forces spread throughout the entire Heavenspan World, but no one dared to say anything.


    Amidst the sobbing sounds, Jian Rufeng held his palm out, a blazing sun slowly rose in his palm.


    That blazing sun shone with boundless radiance, emitting an aura that made people��s hearts palpitate.


    The incomparably vigorous aura blotted out the sky and sun as if blocking this heaven and earth.


    His gaze swept over the faces of his clan members and he said in a solemn voice, ��I need your strength. Who��s first?��


    His voice had yet to fade when a middle-aged man who bore some resemblance in looks to Jian Rufeng slowly walked out and said in a clear voice, ��Big Brother, I��ll go first!��


    Jian Rufeng��s face twitched, but he forced a smile and said, ��Haha, good brother, you go first, big brother will follow right after!��


    That laughter virtually carried tears.


    This person was Jian Rufeng��s younger brother, Jian Ruyun!


    Jian Ruyun did not say a word, traces of power gushing out of his body, and merging into the blazing sun in Jian Rufeng��s hand.


    Jian Ruyun��s body was also becoming fainter bit by bit, turning lighter.


    Finally, it turned into nothingness.


    Jian Rufeng��s eyes were long already wet with tears!


    A man would not easily shed tears until his heart was broken!


    Even for someone as strong as Jian Rufeng, how could he bear it under such circumstances?


    After Jian Ruyun, one powerhouse after another from the Jian Family also followed closely behind.


    With the members of Jian Family passing away one by one, it moved everyone present greatly!


    The originally sobbing sounds gradually turned into wailing sounds.


    ��The Jian Family is righteous! Even if I, Shang Hang, is dashed to pieces, I��ll also suppress the divine race for all of eternity! Today, I swear in the name of Heavenly Dao, if I shrink back in front of divine race one day, I��ll never reincarnate for all of eternity!�� Shang Hang swore to heaven in tears.


    ��I, Qin Chao, swear to heaven, I��ll definitely expel the divine race in this lifetime, nothing will shake my resolve!�� In the crowd, Qin Chao similarly swore.


    There was no idea how many swore an oath to heaven like them.


    It was also precisely starting from today, that their aspirations became incomparably firm, all the way until the Doomsday Battle erupted.


    The blazing sun in Jian Rufeng��s hand became larger and larger, and increasingly hotter.


    Finally, the Jian Family��s hundred powerhouses were all dead, while Jian Rufeng��s tears had long already been dried by the blazing sun.


    Next, it was his turn!


    His gaze looked in Witchcloud��s direction and he said, ��Old Friend, I leave everything in your hands!��


    As he said, an astonishing aura surged wildly.

 Chapter 2395 - Azure and Profound Dual Saints!

    Jian Rufeng��s aura pierced the horizon as if going to punch through this sky.


    He was too strong!


    Being able to surpass the divine race��s strongest celestial master, Jian Rufeng��s strength was beyond a doubt.


    From his body, countless filaments emerged, injecting into the sun crazily.


    The blazing sun slowly rose, and flew higher and higher, heading straight for that horizon.


    His figure also gradually became illusory.


    ��Lord Profound Secrets, take care!��


    ��Lord Profound Secrets, f-farewell!��


    �� ��


    The geniuses knelt down one after another and paid obeisance towards Jian Rufeng��s gradually dissipating figure over and over again.


    The bitter and painful atmosphere spread throughout the entire world.


    Suddenly, a drizzle floated down from the sky.


    Perhaps, even heaven was moved too, right?


    Ye Yuan��s throat choked up. Even if he had long already known the ending, he could not resist weeping at this time too.


    Cultivators, who did not hope for longevity? Who was did not hate to part with the secular world?


    Even Ye Yuan was unable to rise above conventions too.


    Did Jian Rufeng not have any reluctance to part with this world?


    Of course he had!


    Ye Yuan saw too much reluctance in his eyes!


    He could not bear to part with his younger brother, his youngest son, and could not bear to part with the foundation that he created.


    But he still left resolutely.


    As if this world already had no one who could hold him.


    How much courage did this require?


    If there was a clear future, Jian Rufeng��s sacrifice might be very meaningful.


    But Ye Yuan knew that everyone present had too many uncertainties about the future.


    Among them, it included Jian Rufeng himself.


    If his sacrifice could not exchange for the rise of the myriad races.


    If in the future, the divine race suppressed the myriad races.


    Then, his sacrifice would have no meaning at all.


    But, he still went to do it unswervingly!


    At this very moment, any words were feeble.


    Jian Rufeng might not have been the strongest person in two epochs, but, he was the number one virtuous person in two epochs!


    Fully deserving!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan saw that the resolve in the eyes of the geniuses was unprecedented!


    Jian Rufeng was burning himself, and igniting the hope of the myriad races!


    ��Ji Qingyun, is your heart made out of stone? Facing everything that Profound Secrets has done, don��t you feel ashamed standing here? Do you want him to die with his eyes open?�� All of a sudden, Witchcloud burst out, questioning Ye Yuan.


    Everyone knew what Ye Yuan��s existence signified.


    If Deicide originally only had one spiritual pillar, that would be Jian Rufeng.


    But all these had quietly changed following Ye Yuan��s arrival.


    Very soon, Deicide became a dualistic structure.


    Jian Rufeng and Ye Yuan were both the leaders in everyone��s hearts.


    Now, Jian Rufeng was about to pass away, Ye Yuan was the best successor.


    But Ye Yuan actually had no intention of taking part!


    Hence, Witchcloud wanted to use this shout to redeem Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��Senior Witchcloud, it is not that this Ji doesn��t want to, but that �� I can��t!��


    ��You! Just why is it?!�� Witchcloud��s eyes were full of incomprehension.


    He could clearly feel Ye Yuan��s emotion, but just what was it that made him so full of misgivings?


    ��Hahaha �� So that��s how it is! Turns out that��s how it is!�� Right at this time, Jian Rufeng suddenly burst into laughter, as if realizing something.


    His figure already became extremely illusory and might disappear at any time.


    He looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and said, ��Old Friend, don��t make things difficult for him anymore! The things that he��s shouldering are what we cannot comprehend! Everyone, listen! From today onward, Ji Qingyun will be respected as a saint, titled Saint Azure! I hope that everyone will pass down his achievements and contributions forever! Everyone, remember! His contributions are far above this ancestor��s!��


    Witchcloud was greatly surprised, not understanding why Jian Rufeng said so.


    But he knew that Jian Rufeng definitely saw a trace of heaven��s secret on his deathbed!


    Just what was it that he saw?


    Who in the world was this Ji Qingyun?


    Jian Rufeng looked at Ye Yuan again, his gaze already becoming different.


    That look carried heavy surprise and wonder.


    Jian Rufeng gave a deep bow toward Ye Yuan and said, ��Many thanks for Young Friend��s help. Please accept a bow from this Jian!��


    Ye Yuan naturally knew what he saw and said with a sigh, ��Senior, you don��t have to be like this. Everything is foreordained by heaven!��


    Jian Rufeng shook his head and said, ��Heaven��s will has destiny and has variables! Heaven��s will mocks men, and don��t people affect heaven��s will? The cause and effect, probably even Heavenly Dao can��t explain it clearly, right? This Jian will be going. Young Friend carries a heavy burden and has a long road ahead. Please take care!��


    Ye Yuan also bowed down and said, ��Senior seeks virtue and acquires it. This junior definitely won��t let you down!��


    Jian Rufeng smiled slightly, his entire person turning into a wisp of light breeze, disappearing.


    And that blazing sun also gradually rose above the sky, emitting waves of terrifying undulations, completely covering up the Heavenly Hidden World��s heaven��s secrets.


    Since then, two suns floated up in the sky of the Heavenly Hidden World!


    Ye Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling like his body was hollowed out.


    The crying gradually ceased. What replaced it was a deathly silence.


    There were several hundred thousand people present, but not the slightest bit of sound was emitted.


    Clearly, they were all immersed in grief, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.


    No idea how long had passed either, Witchcloud heaved a long sigh and gave a bow toward Ye Yuan, and said, ��Heaven��s secrets can��t be revealed, but Old Friend��s words on his deathbed, it definitely won��t be a careless remark. He thanked Young Friend Ji, and s this old man thanks you too! From today onwards, you are Saint Azure!��


    As he said, Witchcloud directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    ��This old man Witchcloud pays respect to Saint Azure!��


    ��Paying respect to Saint Azure!��


    Everyone knelt down toward Ye Yuan, the shouting shocking the heavens.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and was somewhat melancholic as he said, ��Senior��s words on his deathbed, this Ji doesn��t dare to refuse. But Senior Profound Secrets��s actions are sufficient to be conferred as a saint. This saint will posthumously canonize him as Saint Profound. Everyone doesn��t have objections, right?��


    Witchcloud bowed and said, ��Yes, we obey Saint Azure��s words! From today onward, you and Old Friend will be called Azure and Profound Dual Saints!��


    Saint! A saint!


    Men of great talent and virtue for eternity!


    To get this qualification, one must be respected together by all races!


    Ye Yuan looked at Witchcloud and said with a sigh, ��Senior, this saint knows that you��re filled with puzzlement, but you also know this. Heaven��s secrets can��t be divulged. Some things, this saint really can��t explain it!��


    Witchcloud��s expression flickered incessantly, but he nodded his head in the end.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of Little Profound Secrets, and he forced a smile as he said, ��Good job! You definitely won��t be worse than your father in the future! You are also someone who has the qualification to be conferred as a saint!��


    Little Profound Secrets was still young, but he already quite had the air of his father.


    Hearing that, Litte Profound Secrets nodded and said, ��Saint Azure, rest assured. Haoran definitely won��t let you and Father down!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and arrived before Shang Hang again, and he said smilingly, ��I hope that when you meet me again, you won��t be too surprised! Alright, Saint Profound has already passed away. It��s also time for this saint to leave, farewell!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan took a step out and already vanished in front of everyone.


    Jian Rufeng triggered heaven��s secrets before dying, Ye Yuan had a foreboding that his time here seemed to be coming to an end.


    Hence, Ye Yuan went out of the Heavenly Hidden World.


    �� ��


    Several years later, the entire Heavenspan World was plunged into endless darkness.


    A violent storm suddenly raged above the boundless and endless sea of East Billow.


    A bolt of lightning tore across the sky, a figure disappeared from this spacetime.

 Chapter 2396 - Return

    ��Three years have already passed, and yet that kid hasn��t woken up yet. Most likely, he won��t be able to wake up anymore!��


    ��Heh heh, good that he can��t wake up! If not for that punk, it would have been impossible for me to not even obtain the ten major inheritances! Best that he��ll be a living corpse in the future!��


    ��Haha, Brother Carefree��s resentment towards him is very deep! But thanks to him, we can cultivate for a thousand years more in the Primeval War Realm.��


    ��That��s right! That��s right! Haha, if he knows about this in the spacetime turbulence, he��ll probably be angered until he vomits blood, right?��


    �� ��


    In the Primeval War Realm��s Celestial Beast Plain, several young men had just finished a great battle and were currently discussing about Ye Yuan who was swept into the spacetime turbulence.


    One of them was precisely Noble Carefree, Yu Tanzhi, who harbored deep resentment toward Ye Yuan.


    Three years�� time had already passed in the outside world since Ye Yuan was swept into the spacetime turbulence, which was also 300 years in the Primeval War Realm.


    The Primeval War Realm was indeed a holy land for cultivation.


    These 300 years, to them, these unpredictable children, their improvement had been tremendous.


    The strengths of Yu Tanzhi these people were already able to enter the Celestial Beast Plain to kill fierce beasts.


    Because of Ye Yuan, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets made the exception and let the unpredictable children continue staying in the Primeval War Realm to cultivate.


    As for the outside world��s affairs, he could only request those big shots to come forward and monitor the divine race��s activities strictly.


    Fortunately, in these three years, the divine race did not cause too big of a commotion. Both parties were currently in a stalemate.


    Among the few people, a youth in black robes said with a cold snort, ��Yu Tanzhi, you��re a little too narrow-minded! If Ye Yuan really can��t come back, that will be a massive loss to our human race! Perhaps, our human race will fall into a state of eternal damnation! At that time, I hope that you can still laugh!��


    But Yu Tanzhi said disdainfully, ��Wan Zhen, don��t you scare this young noble anymore, saying it like we haven��t witnessed the divine race before! Let me tell you this. Before this young noble came in, I��ve already had a taste of the divine race��s powerhouses! Two words, merely thus! They are indeed much stronger than ordinary human powerhouses, but to us, these top unpredictable children, they are not considered very strong! Whether that punk dies or not, doesn��t have much influence on the battle situation! Moreover, do you feel that someone can escape from the spacetime turbulence?��


    Yu Tanzhi made no attempt to hide his dislike for Ye Yuan. Because of Ye Yuan, he could not even enter the top 11, losing an opportunity to become stronger.


    ��Oh, is that so? Then, I��m afraid �� I��ll have to disappoint you.��


    Just as Yu Tanzhi was gloating over others�� misfortune, a voice seemingly came from eternity, making everyone present jump in fright.


    Yu Tanzhi��s expression changed wildly and he exclaimed, ��Who! Who is it! Playing tricks, get out for this young noble!��


    He spread his divine sense out, but could not find any clues at all.


    But right at this time, a shocking scene appeared.


    The void had an opening torn open by someone. This kind of tearing was not just traversing through the void, but spacetime being torn apart at the same time.


    As if someone crawled out of the long river of time and space.


    A figure walked out of that opening.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Wan Zhen��s pupils constricted, looking at this person in disbelief.


    This figure was none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who had traveled back from the previous epoch!


    When he went, it was him who triggered heaven��s secrets.


    But when he returned, it was Jian Rufeng who triggered heaven��s secrets, connecting the two spacetimes.


    Perhaps it was inevitable; maybe it was accidental.


    But the trip to the ancient times touched Ye Yuan��s heart deeply.


    This journey, he felt like he had spent as long as tens of billions of years!


    Clearly just a few thousand years of life, but he felt like he had experienced seas change into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas.


    When he returned, his mentality was already completely different.


    All the way until he heard Yu Tanzhi��s voice in the spacetime turbulence did a sense of warmth arose spontaneously.


    When he saw Ye Yuan again, Wan Zhen felt like he did not know him anymore.


    The person was still that person.


    But the feeling that he gave him was totally different.


    Originally, when they looked at Ye Yuan, he was like a little brother.


    But the current Ye Yuan standing in front of him, he seemed to be facing a major power who had experienced the accumulation of countless years.


    Somewhat like �� Grand Ancestor Spacetime!


    No, he was even more archaic than Grand Ancestor Spacetime and made people not dare to look directly at him.


    ��Y-Ye Yuan! This �� how is this possible? You �� You were clearly swept into the spacetime turbulence! How can you possibly return to reality?�� Yu Tanzhi had an expression like he had seen a ghost, even stammering when talking.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yu Tanzhi, shook his head, and said with a sigh, ��Being able to go, naturally means being able to return. What��s strange about it? Also, that kind of ignorant words just now, don��t say them in the future. The divine race��s true elites haven��t appeared at all. You��re being ignorantly boastful here. Who gave you the courage? The ancient times�� myriad races�� majors had immensely formidable means. Which one wasn��t stronger than you? But they were nearly completely annihilated under the divine race��s cruel oppression. I really don��t know where your arrogance comes from.��


    Ye Yuan had witnessed before the ancient times�� geniuses. In terms of talent, temperament, and courage, they were virtually a hundred times stronger than Yu Tanzhi.


    It seemed like the human race had indeed been comfortable for too long.


    Yu Tanzhi smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��What are you being cocky in front of this young noble for? In these 300 years, this young noble cultivated bitterly, my cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, I��m god knows how many times stronger than back then! But you drifted in the spacetime turbulence for 300 years. Right now, you��re not this young noble��s match at all! What qualifications do you have to lecture this young noble?��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help being unable to stifle his laughter.


    In ancient times, he was already canonized as a saint.


    Although his strength had not reached the apex, his aura of a sovereign was already formed.


    Was this Yu Tanzhi blind, to actually not even be able to perceive this, to actually provoke him.


    Only to see him stand with his hands behind his back as he said smilingly, ��Is that so? Then bring out the strength that you��ve cultivated bitterly these few years, and let me take a look.��


    Yu Tanzhi grinned hideously and said, ��I had precisely that intention! You caused this young noble to fail to get the ten major inheritances, today, I��ll take back a bit of interest first! After going out of the Primeval War Realm, this young noble will make you regret being born in this world!��


    After talking, Yu Tanzhi released his divine essence, his aura skyrocketing. He had actually reached peak Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor already!


    He was just half a step away from Deva Realm!


    To him, there was no difficulty in transcending Deva First Blight at all.


    And his power of laws was also several times stronger than before.


    These 300 years, he worked harder after knowing humiliation, and his strength was indeed no idea how many times stronger than back then.


    However, the Wan Zhen by the side revealed a strange look.


    Before Ye Yuan left back then, he could still see Ye Yuan��s actual situation clearly.


    But now, he could not see through Ye Yuan at all.


    The present Wan Zhen having obtained the ten major inheritances and also having experienced 300 years of bitter cultivation, his strength was no idea how many times stronger than back then.


    However, when he faced the current Ye Yuan, he did not even have the courage to attack at all anymore!


    Did Yu Tanzhi, this guy��s head, have a hole?


    Can��t he see how powerful Ye Yuan was?


    ��Hahaha, go and die!��


    Yu Tanzhi released his strength fully, smashing over towards Ye Yuan like a group of meteors.


    This move could likely even forcefully contend with Deva powerhouses!


    However, Ye Yuan still stood with his hands behind his back, as if he did not have the intention of making a move.

 Chapter 2397 - Reunion that Spanned Spacetime!

    A second ago, Yu Tanzhi��s momentum was astonishing, as if going to decimate this world.


    But in the next second, his figure backed away involuntarily.


    After a bout of tossing down, he actually returned to his original point again.


    Wan Zhen��s pupils constricted, looking at this scene in incredible shock.


    He thought that Ye Yuan became very strong, but he did not expect that he became so strong!


    Just now, Ye Yuan merely relied on spatial law, and he forced Yu Tanzhi back to his original point without even making a move!


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right?��


    ��Why did his strength become even more unfathomable in the spacetime turbulence?��


    ��Originally thought that he had a slim chance of surviving, but who knew that he already made all of us look up to him!��


    �� ��


    The shock that this scene earlier brought to the group of unpredictable children was too intense.


    Originally, Ye Yuan still needed to use the True Nirvana Sword Formation to deal with them, these unpredictable children.


    But 300 years passed, Ye Yuan did not even need to make a move and he forced Yu Tanzhi back.


    One had to know, this was the Yu Tanzhi who had already made great progress, and not the Yu Tanzhi back then.


    ��Impossible! Impossible! Why is your spatial law strong to this kind of extent? What on earth did you experience inside the spatial turbulent flow?�� Yu Tanzhi said with a dazed look.


    This exchange just now, it hit him too hard.


    Although the previous Ye Yuan was monstrous, he did not exceed their imagination.


    But now, he already could not see Ye Yuan clearly anymore.


    Ye Yuan already reached a level that he was too far behind to catch up.


    Ye Yuan sighed quietly and said, ��A cleansing of the soul, a tragic song of blood and years. Of course, you may never be able to understand these.��


    Everyone had blank looks, uncertain what it meant.


    Just then, several powerful auras burst out of the sky.


    When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and the rest felt the fluctuations in spacetime, they rushed over.


    When Profound Secrets saw Ye Yuan, he was overjoyed at first. But very soon, his expression changed wildly.


    There was also Shang Hang who had virtually the same expression as him!


    ��Senior, do you feel that Ye Yuan��s aura �� seems like a person?�� Profound Secrets felt that his mouth was a little dry.


    That person, he would never be able to forget.


    He had never seen that person��s true face before. But that person��s aura, he would never forget it.


    It was him and his father! They were the ones who were called Azure and Profound Dual Saints!


    It was him, who created an unprecedented flourishing age!


    Shang Hang��s expression had an indescribable shock as he muttered, ��This �� This is impossible! How can this be possible? He �� He ����


    In the long river of time, the time that that person existed, was merely a snap of a finger.


    But it was that snap of the fingers that created a new era!


    Ye Yuan superimposed the Ye Yuan in front of him together with that figure who traversed the endless long river of spacetime.


    They were actually �� exactly the same!


    At that time, he could not see that person��s true face clearly.


    But now, he could see this person extremely clearly.


    ��Hang on! This �� This must be an illusion! How can this sort of thing possibly happen?�� Shang Hang had a panicky look.


    The others did not understand what it meant and did not know why these two great sovereigns would suddenly become so panicky.


    Although Ye Yuan��s return was miraculous, it was also not to the extent of making them become like this, right?


    What in the world happened?


    Even Ancestor Lightning had a blank face too.


    He did not know what could make a supreme major power like Shang Hang have such a visible change in countenance.


    What in the world happened to Ye Yuan?


    ��Senior Shang, what��s wrong with you? Isn��t he just Ye Yuan?�� Ancestor Lightning said in confusion.


    Shang Hang trembled, only then abruptly startled awake and said, ��Right! Right! Isn��t he just Ye Yuan? Misconception! Hahaha, it must be a misconception! Isn��t that so, Profound Secrets brat?��


    He turned to look at Profound Secrets and discovered that Profound Secrets was currently looking at him extremely seriously.


    Shang Hang was immediately like a deflated ball.


    Profound Secrets shut his eyes and took a deep breath as if digesting something.


    After a long time, he opened his eyes again, and slowly let out a turbid breath as he said, ��Senior Shang, I think �� I understand!��


    Shang Hang��s expression was ugly as he said, ��What did you understand?��


    Profound Secrets said solemnly, ��That person appeared bafflingly and left �� Similarly incomprehensibly! Just like, he appeared out of the blue and disappeared into thin air again! Do you still remember what he said? It wasn��t unwillingness, but �� couldn��t! Why couldn��t? Because �� he doesn��t belong to that era at all! Do you still remember my father��s sudden enlightenment while on his deathbed? The heaven��s secrets that he saw through, must be this! Also �� do you remember what he last said to you?��


    Shang Hang��s entire body trembled, his eyes widening and looking toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Hope that when you meet me again, you won��t be too surprised!


    ��You and I still have a bout of destiny in the future! This destiny shall span spacetime!��


    Even after endless years, Shang Hang still remembered that person��s words extremely clearly,


    Because that person affected his whole life!


    ��You �� Are you really Lord Saint Azure?�� Shang Hang used all the strength in his body and asked Ye Yuan.


    Hearing Saint Azure two words, Ancestor Lightning��s whole body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment, titanic waves being set off in his heart!


    This name, there was long already no one who remembered it in this epoch.


    But in the last epoch, he was one of the two people that the myriad races admired!


    When he entered the Heavenly Hidden World, Azure and Profound Dual Saints were long gone.


    But their great names had never been cut off from his ears before!


    It was Saint Profound who won time for the myriad races with the shielding of heaven��s secrets.


    It was Saint Azure who set up 18 inheritance grand arrays and created 18 grand ancestors!


    Without these two people, there would not be today��s Heavenspan World too.


    With these two people, there would not be him, this Ancestor Lightning!


    But how could this blazing sun-like name be connected to this immature youth before his eyes?


    Ye Yuan was silent all along. But at this time, he smiled brightly and said, ��Shang Hang, long time no see! You��ve done very well!��


    Thud!


    Shang Hang was filled with a multitude of feelings, tears streaming down his old face. He actually directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Shang Hang is incompetent and failed to completely defeat the divine race! I��ve let Your Excellency down!�� This supreme powerhouse who was akin to a divinity was crying like a child at this time.


    Ancestor Lightning, Wan Zhen, Yu Tanzhi, Pang Zhen, as well as the numerous powerhouses present, all opened their mouths wide, shocked until they were unable to think.


    They had long already known about this old man��s identity. He was the strongest person since time immemorial and not one of!


    This person was an existence who could have a showdown with the divine race��s supreme powerhouse, Tian Qing!


    He was the well-deserving human race��s number one person.


    But he actually knelt down toward Ye Yuan!


    Although a lot was said, they still did not understand what in the world happened.


    The scene before their eyes was too shocking.


    The muscles on Profound Secrets��s face twitched endlessly. But in the end, it turned into a long sigh, and he also knelt down beside Shang Hang.


    ��Jian Haoran pays respect to Lord Saint Azure!�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said.


    No matter how complicated this was, Ye Yuan��s identity of Saint Azure was undoubtedly ascertained!


    Saint Azure was an existence on par with his own father!


    When he saw Saint Azure, he had to kneel!

 Chapter 2398 - : Without Him, There Won’t be You All!

    If say Shang Hang��s kneel was still within the scope of everyone��s understanding.


    Then Profound Secrets��s kneel subverted everyone��s understanding!


    No matter how strong Shang Hang was, he was presently just a wisp of remnant thought too.


    How strong he was, these unpredictable children could not imagine it too.


    Time was sufficient to dilute everything.


    But Profound Secrets was the present era��s number one person!


    To some extent, his status was even higher than Dao Ancestors!


    Dao Ancestors were strong, that was strong in power.


    But the Jian Family��s tens of billions of years of operation, their forces spread to every corner of the Heavenspan World.


    The great name of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, there were none who did not know in the Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    He was the strongest person living at the moment!


    His kneel represented that the Heavenspan World��s top powerhouse today bowed his head in submission in front of Ye Yuan!


    This kind of surprise could not be described using words at all.


    The group of unpredictable children exchanged glances, shocked beyond recognition.


    ��This �� What on earth happened? Ye Yuan merely made a trip into the spacetime turbulence. So why did Lord Profound Secrets kneel towards him?��


    ��Saint Azure? Who the hell is that, to actually be able to make an ancient supreme powerhouse and the present era��s strongest person kneel down at the same time?!��


    ��Ye Yuan��s age is merely a few thousand years old. So what right does he have to make two supreme powerhouses kneel?��


    �� ��


    A belly full of questions was like a cat scratching, making them uncomfortable to the extreme.


    Just a few centuries ago, Ye Yuan was still competing with them for the supreme inheritance.


    But making a trip to the spacetime turbulence, it was as if the whole world had changed.


    Seeing these two people kneel, Ye Yuan was also filled with a multitude of feelings, and said with a sigh, ��All get up! The seas have already changed into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas! I��m just Ye Yuan, not Saint Azure!��


    But Profound Secrets shook his head firmly and said, ��Saint Azure is Saint Azure, unless the myriad races are destroyed! Otherwise, you��ll always be Saint Azure! Without you, there wouldn��t be the myriad races�� ten billion years of stability! Without you, the myriad races will still be trampled under the divine race��s feet! Even if seas change into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas, it also can��t cover up your achievements!��


    Talking up to here, he turned to everyone again and said, ��Everyone, all come and offer greetings to Saint Azure!��


    This sentence carried an unquestionable majesty.


    He was not discussing with everyone, but he was commanding everyone!


    Yu Tanzhi had a look of refusal to comply on his face as he gritted his teeth and said, ��What bullshit Saint Azure! Based on what? He��s merely a brat who��s still wet behind his ears, what right does he have to make me kneel?��


    ��Yeah! Lord Profound Secrets, did you get the wrong person! He��s Ye Yuan, not this Saint Azure you��re talking about.��


    The group of unpredictable children could not get over this hurdle in their hearts at all. Making them kneel towards a peer, they could not do it.


    But Profound Secrets��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Yu Tanzhi, ��Insulting Saint Azure is regarded as insulting the myriad races! Yu Tanzhi, you have been disqualified! Everything that you obtained in the Primeval War Realm, this emperor will also take it back!��


    Profound Secrets��s eyes turned dark, pointing a finger at Yu Tanzhi.


    Yu Tanzhi��s entire body trembled, feeling like something in his body was stripped away.


    His strength was regressing rapidly. Very soon, it returned to the level when he had just entered the Primeval War Realm.


    He had a look of horror and said, ��My �� My strength!��


    Profound Secrets��s gaze was cold as he said, ��The Primeval War Realm was created by me! As long as your consciousness hasn��t returned to your body yet, I can take it back at any time!��


    Profound Secrets could strip these countless inheritances from the Ancient Battlefield, wanting to strip away the strength that Yu Tanzhi obtained was naturally accomplished with ease.


    He worked hard here for more than a thousand years. He did not expect that in the end, it was all for naught! He actually did not obtain anything!


    At this time, he wished to give himself two tight slaps.


    If he had long known it would be like this, why did he have to run his mouth earlier?


    Except, he completely did not understand what kind of existence Saint Azure was in the eyes of Profound Secrets and Shang Hang.


    The group of unpredictable children was transfixed like wooden chickens. Clearly, they did not think that it would play out like this.


    At the same time, they also came to understand how sacred and inviolable Saint Azure��s status in Profound Secrets��s heart was!


    Wan Zhen was a sensible person, so he took the lead to kneel first.


    Profound Secrets might recognized him wrongly, but it was impossible for Profound Secrets and Shang Hang two people to recognize wrongly at the same time.


    Clearly, judging from these two people��s expressions earlier, they themselves also felt that it was too inconceivable.


    They had always been denying this fact but also had no choice but to accept this fact.


    But even so, the two of them still knelt down without the slightest hesitation.


    This was sufficient to show how lofty Saint Azure��s status was!


    This kneel, Ye Yuan was deserving of it!


    With Wan Zhen taking the lead, no matter how unwilling the other unpredictable sons were, they had to kneel too.


    Otherwise, if they had their strength taken back by Profound Secrets, that would be awkward.


    Hence, the others knelt down one after another.


    Profound Secrets��s gaze looked at Yu Tanzhi coldly as he said in a chilly voice, ��Why? You aren��t kneeling yet?��


    Yu Tanzhi being looked at, felt as if he fell into a bottomless ice abyss, and he knelt down with a thud.


    Having his strength taken back and he still had to kneel.


    Yu Tanzhi even had the thought of wanting to cry at this time.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was an existence that he could not provoke. Even his family��s ancestor, if he really provoked Profound Secrets, he would be annihilated with a snap of a finger.


    In this Heavenspan World, apart from Dao Ancestors, there were none who could contend with the Jian Family.


    Everyone knelt down one after another, leaving only Ancestor Lightning still standing there alone.


    Profound Secrets said in a cold voice, ��Pang Tian, have you forgotten who bestowed you this crown of Dao Ancestor?��


    This time, Profound Secrets did not call out Ancestor Lightning, but he called his real name, Pang Tian!


    This was reminding him not to forget his origin.


    Without Azure and Profound Dual Saints, there would not be today��s Ancestor Lightning!


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression flickered incessantly. Others could kneel, but he was the paramount Dao Ancestor!


    How could he kneel?


    However, as an ancient existence who similarly survived from the previous epoch, he was deeply aware of Azure and Profound Dual Saints�� status in that era.


    He was also clear that there was nothing wrong with Profound Secrets��s words!


    He took a deep breath, his gaze deep as he said, ��Are you sure that he��s Saint Azure?��


    Profound Secrets nodded and said, ��Irrefutable! Before this, his body didn��t have that aura. But this time, he retrieved the aura that belonged to him originally from the spacetime turbulence! Therefore, he��s Saint Azure!��


    Ancestor Lightning was silent. Finally, he still knelt down slowly.


    ��Everyone, kneel thrice and kowtow nine times, pay respects to Saint Azure!�� Profound Secrets said in a clear voice.


    ��We pay respects to Saint Azure!�� Under Profound Secrets��s lead, everyone carried out the etiquette of three kneels and nine kowtows in Ye Yuan��s direction.


    This was the highest level courtesy!


    After the ceremony, Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said with a bitter smile, ��All get up! Not just you guys, this saint also feels that it��s inconceivable until now. But since the two of you recognized this saint, then it also confirms that this isn��t an empty dream! It��s just that, this is a little too inconceivable.��


    Profound Secrets nodded and said, ��It��s naturally not an empty dream! The 18 inheritance grand arrays created the human race��s eternal prosperity! Nobody is able to erase this!��


    Done talking, his gaze swept over all of the unpredictable children, and he said in a solemn voice, ��I know that you all feel dissatisfied, feeling that Lord Saint Azure is peers with you guys, and isn��t worthy of accepting the ceremony of bowing and kowtow! But, without him, this world �� won��t have you all!��

 Chapter 2399 - Ten Billion Years as a Place to Cultivate!

    ��Lord Profound Secrets, your words are too much, right? Without him, there won��t be us? These words sound really strange!�� Pang Zhen said in a solemn voice.


    At this time, only he dared to speak up.


    But his words indeed represented the inner-voices of the unpredictable children.


    Profound Secrets did not speak, but Shang Hang laughed coldly and said, ��That��s because you all don��t know how great the contributions Azure and Profound Dual Saints made to the myriad races! These two people created an era! Saint Profound, who is also Profound Secrets brat��s father, offered up the lives of 100 Jian clan members as the price, to ignite the sun of heaven��s secrets, and conceal heaven��s secrets, winning a respite for the human race! Saint Azure, left behind 18 inheritance grand arrays, and created 18 grand ancestors as well as countless powerhouses for the myriad races! Otherwise, who do you all think these ten billion years of prosperity and stability were captured by?��


    ��If you all don��t know how strong grand ancestors are, then this ancestor will tell you guys!��


    As he said, he pointed at Ancestor Lightning and said with a proud expression, ��When this ancestor was at my prime, even if he��s augmented by rule, he might not be this ancestor��s match too! Of course, if Heavenly Dao takes back his power of rule, it��s as easy as turning my hand over �� for this ancestor to kill him!��


    ��Hiss ����


    All around, came a series of cold air being sucked in sounds.


    This statement completely subverted their imagination.


    Weren��t Dao Ancestors invincible existences?


    This old man before their eyes was actually so strong at his heyday?


    The 18 Dao Ancestor level powerhouses �� This was simply unimaginable!


    This kind of horrifying strength actually lost to the divine race!


    The divine race was actually so strong!


    Profound Secrets nodded his head and added, ��The last Doomsday Battle was fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, mountains and rivers shattering! The 18 grand ancestors all died; the myriad races had countless powerhouses who perished! But even so, we failed to completely defeat the divine race too! You all can imagine how strong the divine race is! Therefore, without Saint Azure, even if my father ignited the sun of heaven��s secrets, the myriad races would have ultimately ended in failure too! If that was the case, it would have likely caused a catastrophic blow to the myriad races, where will you all come from?��


    ��Therefore �� you all can be disrespectful toward this emperor, but absolutely can��t be disrespectful towards Saint Azure! From today onwards, if anyone dares to be disrespectful towards Saint Azure, once it reaches this emperor��s ears, this emperor will hunt him down to the ends of the world!��


    The group of unpredictable children was dumbstruck with amazement from listening.


    This secret from ten billion years ago, they had never heard it before.


    The era was too distant, they were simply unable to imagine, what kind of extreme misery the myriad races were living in back then.


    These two people��s words exploded in their ears like claps of thunder.


    Only then did they know how tragic the previous Doomsday Battle was.


    Only then did they know how strong the ancient time myriad race powerhouses were!


    Compared to the ancient times, the current myriad races powerhouses were simply trash!


    No wonder Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets would raise such a big rumpus, gathering a million unpredictable children to undergo the battle of geniuses.


    Pang Zhen had a dumbfounded look and could not resist asking Ancestor Lightning, ��A-Ancestor, is what he said true? A-Aren��t Dao Ancestors �� invincible existences?��


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression was somewhat ugly, but he still nodded his head and said, ��When Senior Shang was at his prime, he can annihilate Deva Fifth Blights with one hand! His spacetime law already reached an inconceivable level! If this ancestor doesn��t rely on the power of law, I��m not his match at all!��


    ��This �� How is this possible?��


    ��Not Dao Ancestor, but stronger than Dao Ancestors?!��


    ��Can a person��s strength actually reach such a terrifying level?��


    �� ��


    With Ancestor Lightning acknowledging that he was inferior to Shang Hang, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.


    Even a Dao Ancestor was not a match, what kind of terrifying existence was that?


    Then what kind of monster was the Saint Azure who could groom such a terrifying existence?


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    Were all these really done by him?


    Yu Tanzhi��s expression flickered indeterminately and he said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Profound Secrets, but what has this got to do with Ye Yuan? What Saint Azure has done, this junior admires endlessly too! But Ye Yuan is someone from ten billion years later. So how can he possibly go to the ancient times to teach you all? Furthermore, just his bit of strength, what right does he have to have taught a character like Grand Ancestor Spacetime? Also, even if he traveled through spacetime this time, he wasn��t even born yet ten billion years ago, how could he have taught you all? Could it be that everything that happened today is actually still ten billion years ago? None of these makes sense!��


    Clearly, he still did not believe it.


    Yu Tanzhi��s series of questions was the key to this issue!


    Ten billion years ago, Ye Yuan��s grandfather��s grandfather was not even born yet. How did Ye Yuan go and teach them?


    Profound Secrets��s brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, he could not answer this question either.


    But he was certain that Ye Yuan was Saint Azure!


    This was indisputable!


    ��Saint Azure came out of thin air and also left baselessly! Before my father died, he saw a trace of heaven��s secrets too. He said that the things that Saint Azure is shouldering, we��re all unable to understand it! But now, this emperor understands!�� Profound Secrets said in a solemn voice.


    Yu Tanzhi was still unrelenting as he said, ��If all these were just a coincidence? Didn��t you, Lord Profound Secrets, not have seen Saint Azure��s true face too?��


    As long as he proved that Ye Yuan was not Saint Azure, everything could be discussed!


    What right did Ye Yuan have to become Saint Azure?


    But these words really stumped Profound Secrets.


    ��Humph! You brat, what the hell do you know? The profundities of time and space, these two great supreme laws, forget about you, even this ancestor can hardly get a complete picture too!��


    At this time, Shang Hang snorted coldly and said, ��Do you know why Spacetime Reversal Chaos this move is called this name? Heh heh, this ancestor has only used this move once in my lifetime. That��s in that battle to deal with Tian Qing! Because once this move is used, even I can��t control the direction of time and space too! This ancestor can��t beat Tian Qing and can only exile him to the spacetime turbulence!��


    ��Under this move, spacetime will turn chaotic. Those who are exiled will forever be lost in the chaotic spacetime! Lord Saint Azure triggered the Spacetime Reversal Chaos, a reverse chaos happened between these two spacetime! The events of the two spacetime really happened. It��s just that because of the disorder of spacetime, the order is already not important! Or should I say, the spacetime of these ten billion years is all chaotic! Now, Lord Saint Azure returned. Only now is the spacetime of these ten billion years considered complete!��


    ��These 300 years, he leaped across spacetime and took back the name of Saint Azure! These ten billion years of spacetime, it is merely Saint Azure��s place to cultivate! His accomplishments in spacetime law in the future will be far above this ancestor��s! As long as he��s given sufficient time, he��ll be able to sweep away the divine race by himself!��


    In terms of understanding spacetime law, no one in this world could compare to Shang Hang.


    This explanation of his shocked everyone even more until they were dumbstruck with amazement.


    Regarding the spacetime samsara of ten billion years as his own training land.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable!


    Spacetime law, it was simply hard for ordinary people to surmise!


    They were not tangible and material like other laws. They really existed, but could not be touched at all.


    Furthermore, when they reached an extremely profound level, it was even harder for ordinary people to imagine.

 Chapter 2400 - Massive Crisis!

    ��Hahaha �� I, Tian Qing, finally returned from the spacetime turbulence! Shang Hang, so what even if you exiled me into the spacetime turbulence? This ancestor returning like a king, who can stop me in this era? Hahaha ����


    Not long after Ye Yuan returned to the Primeval War Realm, a middle-aged man dressed in ragged clothes rushed out of the void, laughing wildly without ceasing.


    His voice was akin to rolling thunder, virtually making the entire world tremble.


    Although this middle-aged man was in tattered clothes, the aura on his body was virtually smashing through this firmament.


    With every action, it was as if heaven and earth moved along with him!


    This middle-aged man was none other than precisely the Tian Qing who was exiled into the spacetime turbulence by Shang Hang!


    An epoch later, he finally returned!


    Tian Qing��s appearance immediately caused a great panic.


    He did not conceal his aura. Within a radius of ten million miles, all of the powerhouses trembled endlessly under his pressure.


    Even some reclusive Heavenly Emperor old monsters were alarmed one after another too.


    ��Tian Qing �� Who is Tian Qing? How can he be so powerful?!��


    ��Too strong! I feel that this is simply facing Heavenly Dao!��


    ��What does this person want to do? His aura seems to be different from ours! He �� wouldn��t be of the divine race, right?��


    �� ��


    Some people were frightened until their faces turned green, fleeing for their lives in a panic.


    The Heavenspan World had as many powerhouses as clouds, but even Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor mighty experts could not cause such a terrifying commotion too.


    The divine race��s supreme expert coming into being, it immediately alarmed countless powerhouses.


    Suddenly, Tian Qing��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Sure enough, the present Heavenspan World has already been occupied by these ants? A bunch of ants who overestimate their own ability, to actually dare affront the might of heaven! Today, I��ll make you all disappear from this world!��


    Done talking, he flicked his finger, an invisible stream of force tore across the air!


    An apocalyptic power instantly covered a vast expanse of open ground!


    Boom!


    Several cities that were not far from him were instantly turned to ashes!


    The billions of powerhouses in these dozens of cities were left without corpses!


    The power of a single strike was utterly appalling!


    Tian Qing��s face was indifferent as if he just killed a bunch of ants.


    However, he was clearly not satisfied yet, his figure moving, disappearing from his original spot.


    Very soon, cities of varying sizes completely disappeared from the Heavenspan World one after another.


    This commotion immediately caused a huge wave in the Heavenspan World!


    This undulation was too terrifying, there was no way for them to not know too!


    In the divine race camp, there was elated dancing and cheering!


    ��Hahaha, we finally waited it out! With Lord Tian Qing returning, it��s time for us to sweep across the Heavenspan World!��


    ��Those foolish humans think that we��re scared of Dao Ancestors. They completely didn��t know that we were waiting for Lord Tian Qing��s return!��


    ��An epoch of waiting, and finally, it��s time for the divine race to reign over the world again!��


    �� ��


    Among the divine race��s eight lineages, the Heaven Lineage was revered as supreme!


    The Heaven Lineage respected Tian Qing as supreme!


    Tian Qing was the divine race��s god!


    His might could not be measured using words at all.


    Destruction with a snap of a finger, it was referring to him.


    His battle with Shang Hang back then riddled the Heavenspan World full of holes.


    Shang Hang fighting against him with space and time, two great laws, was a notch inferior to him too!


    Finally, Shang Hang had no choice but to activate Spacetime Reversal Chaos, exiling Tian Qing. Only then, was there the human race��s final victory.


    Now, Tian Qing returned, and Shang Hang was already no longer here.


    Who was Tian Qing��s match?


    �� ��


    ��Father, things are bad! The divine race��s progenitor, Tian Qing, returned from the spacetime turbulence, and struck violently in the Heavenspan World, destroying thousands of cities! Ancestor Water, Ancestor Fire, Ancestor Wind, three great Dao Ancestors took action at the same time. After a great battle, Tian Qing escaped back to the divine race with heavy injuries. The three great Dao Ancestors also sustained severe injuries!��


    Jian Yunxin entered the Primeval War Realm in a panic, bringing in this earth-shattering news.


    Everyone fell into shock.


    ��What did you say? Tian Qing �� returned from the spacetime turbulence?�� Profound Secrets��s entire body trembled as he said absent-mindedly.


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression also changed wildly and he said, ��The three of them joining hands wasn��t Tian Qing��s match?��


    Each and every one of the unpredictable children present was shocked until they were staring with their mouths agape.


    His power alone seriously wounded three great Dao Ancestors!


    This kind of strength was simply too terrifying!


    It turned out that Grand Ancestor Spacetime was not boasting. The divine race strength was really too powerful!


    Only then did they understand why these ancient era powerhouses were so apprehensive of the divine race!


    That was Dao Ancestor!


    Especially Yu Tanzhi, his face was deathly pale.


    Only then did he know how ignorant he was.


    ��Senior Shang, this ���� Profound Secrets could not refrain from looking at Shang Hang.


    Shang Hang��s eyes flickered. Finally, he let out a sigh and said, ��With Saint Azure returning, the Spacetime Reversal Chaos ended. It naturally can��t stop a character like Tian Qing anymore as well!��


    Profound Secrets said absent-mindedly, ��How can this be? Senior Shang has already passed on, while Saint Azure has yet to attain Dao. Who else in this world can still stop Tian Qing? Could it be that our human race can��t escape this calamity in the end?��


    At this very moment, it was as if the sky had fallen down in the Primeval War Realm.


    Even Profound Secrets and Ancestor Lightning also lost their wits at this time.


    No one could have expected that on the eve of the Doomsday Battle, such a huge change would actually occur.


    Tian Qing��s return shattered all of their hopes!


    In the previous era, because Saint Profound shielded heaven��s secrets, the myriad races cultivated for hundreds of millions of years in the Heavenly Hidden World before they finally dragged the divine race down from their altar.


    But now, there was already no time to let the human race geniuses grow up!


    Even if Ye Yuan rebuilt 18 grand arrays anew, it was also impossible to groom a powerhouse like Grand Ancestor Spacetime.


    They all believed that if Ye Yuan grew up, he would surely be able to stop the divine race.


    But he was running out of time!


    ��Lord Saint Azure, what should we do now?�� Shang Hang suddenly asked Ye Yuan.


    In this place, it was also just him who could maintain a trace of composure.


    With him saying so, everyone turned their gazes to Ye Yuan.


    If say that the human race still had hope, then this hope might lie on Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan had been silent all along. Hearing Shang Hang asked, only then he slowly said, ��We still have time! This battle, although Tian Qing exhibited powerful strength, it also proved one thing, he isn��t invincible! After this battle, I think that the divine race will still be afraid of Dao Ancestors�� strength! Furthermore, Tian Qing probably also wouldn��t dare to make a move within a short time!��


    Profound Secrets��s expression was ugly as he said, ��But Heavenly Dao will be taking back the power of rules very soon! At that time, we won��t have any reliance at all!��


    Ye Yuan asked, ��How long is there still?��


    Profound Secrets said, ��100 years at shortest, 1000 years at the longest!��


    Ye Yuan fell silent again.


    This time was indeed too short!


    Although his cultivation speed was fast, it was also impossible to reach Tian Qing��s realm in a short 1000 years.


    Moreover, the divine race��s powerhouses did not just have Tian Qing alone!


    Each one of the divine race��s eight lineages�� progenitors could not be underestimated.


    Even if they were inferior to Tian Qing, they were absolutely not beneath Profound Secrets too!


    Only after being silent for a long time did Ye Yuan slowly say, ��Since that��s the case, then there��s only to fight!��

 Chapter 2401 - Thrive in Calamity and Perish in Soft Living!

    ��Fight? How to fight ����


    Yu Tanzhi laughed coldly and wanted to shoot a sarcastic remark, but he swallowed his words back when they reached the tip of his tongue.


    Ye Yuan��s current identity was different, if he did not watch his mouth again, it would not be as simple as having his strength taken back anymore.


    Sure enough, Profound Secrets gave him a glance.


    This glance made him feel like he fell into an ice cellar.


    However, Yu Tanzhi��s question was similarly what everyone��s question was.


    How to fight?


    Ye Yuan slowly said, ��No matter what, to battle is the best way to increase strength! Regardless of whether it is 100 years or 1000 years, how much strength can be improved will depend on our good fortunes!��


    Although Ye Yuan could use time law to groom powerhouses, this would mean he would not have time to go and cultivate anymore.


    Furthermore, wanting to create a small world that could accommodate thousands of martial artists would expend a great deal of energy in the first place.


    Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Hidden World back then or the current Primeval War Realm, it expended the two generations�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s countless manpower and material resources. It was not something that could be accomplished overnight.


    This kind of method was clearly not too suitable for the current situation anymore.


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression was somewhat ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What kind of solution is this?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Otherwise? The few of you Dao Ancestors rush to the divine race and finish off all of their progenitors?��


    Ancestor Lightning��s throat choked up, and he immediately shut his mouth.


    Three great Dao Ancestors taking action at the same time could not do anything to Tian Qing too. If they went, they absolutely would not gain any advantage.


    This battle completely made both parties become fearful of each other.


    After Shang Hang mused for a moment, he suddenly spoke up, ��I feel that this idea can work! In the last Doomsday Battle, although the powerhouses on our side nearly died out, they didn��t gain any advantage either! Apart from Tian Qing, the other progenitors�� states shouldn��t have recovered to their peak yet! In terms of the number of experts, all of our races added together is ten times, even 100 times of theirs! Even if we use human lives to stack, we can also stack them to death! What we lack most here, is a combat force that is capable of fighting with Tian Qing!��


    Speaking of this, Shang Hang��s expression was unprecedentedly solemn as he said, ��If Tian Qing doesn��t die, even if all of the other members of the divine race are killed, it makes no difference too! His combat power is already strong until it can ignore the number of people!��


    At this point, everyone��s gazes concentrated on Ye Yuan.


    If there was someone here who could reach Tian Qing��s height, it would be none other than him!


    The eternal Saint Azure, the legacies left behind overthrew the divine race��s rule.


    Who else was there in this world?


    Profound Secrets��s expression was solemn as he said, ��Lord Saint Azure, can �� you do it?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Time is too short. I don��t know whether it will work or not too. Do what we can and leave the rest up to fate then! At this point, there��s already no other way. There��s only to fight!��


    As he said, he turned his head to look at the other unpredictable children, and said calmly, ��You guys, who��s willing to brave life-and-death together with this saint?��


    ��Me!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when a figure already stepped forward.


    It was none other than precisely Wan Zhen!


    ��Me!��


    ��Me too!��


    �� ��


    Very soon, there were many people who came forward.


    However, even more people exchanged glances, seemingly having the intention of withdrawing.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help sighing slightly too and said, ��Times have changed, the hearts of the people have also changed!��


    Still remembering when Saint Profound died in the cause of justice, what a noble spirit he was!


    The geniuses of that era also used actual actions to comfort Saint Profound��s spirit in heaven.


    But in this epoch, the human race had stayed in a comfortable environment for too long.


    Even if they knew that it had already reached the point of life and death, they were still not willing to risk their lives.


    Because they had never experienced before that feeling of humiliation.


    Without humiliation, how could there be the ambition to risk one��s life?


    Shang Hang sneered and said, ��Thrive in calamity, and perish in soft living! Seeing these people who cling to life and fear death, this ancestor somewhat regrets what I did back then!��


    Profound Secrets similarly smiled coldly and said, ��Those who are afraid of death tend to die faster! Doomsday Battle, no one can stay aloof from it! Do you all think that by not going, you��ll be able to live?��


    Everyone exchanged glances. Only then did some people step forward again.


    The majority of the people still harbored hopes of getting lucky.


    Maybe they could survive?


    If the sky fell, there would always be the tall folks holding it up.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��The rest, all leave then!��


    Among 1000 people, the ones who stepped forward in the end were less than 300 people.


    What made Ye Yuan a little surprised was that Pang Zhen came forward too.


    He and Pang Zhen were not on very good terms. So he did not expect that this guy still had some guts.


    His gaze swept over everyone and said, ��You guys staying behind, do you know what you��re going to face?��


    Wan Zhen immediately said, ��For men, death is but death! Can there be unbroken eggs when the nest is totally wrecked? Don��t even know this bit of logic and they also dare to call themselves geniuses. Those people really wasted all their years of living!��


    Pang Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��How can my Pang Family have people who are afraid of risking their neck? Ancestor dares to battle, how can I, Pang Zhen, be so cowardly?��


    The nine great Dao Ancestors came from the last epoch.


    Although their strength was not considered top-notch at that time, they were considered to have battled for the rise of the myriad races.


    Although Ancestor Lightning had an appearance of impassiveness, a hint of imperceptible pride showed in his eyes.


    People who had experienced that era would not be hesitant to proceed when in front of such major issues of right and wrong.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not bad, you made me view you in a different light! Actually, if people don��t force themselves, they really won��t know how great their potential is at times! Although fighting is dangerous, it��s also the fastest way to break through! The divine race has as many experts as clouds, there��s no better whetstone than this! Perhaps this battle will be your road toward being canonized as an ancestor!��


    The remaining unpredictable children trembled all over, fighting spirit immediately igniting in their eyes!


    Being canonized as an ancestor, it was a great temptation to them as well.


    Although this battle was perilous, if they pulled through, it would be a smooth road!


    ��Among you, there are some whose talents are not as good as those people who left. But I believe that as long as you guys can survive, your future accomplishments will definitely be higher than theirs!�� Ye Yuan said firmly.


    Profound Secrets said, ��Among the million unpredictable children, there are definitely many who are willing to join too. I��ll convene with all of them. These people, Lord Saint Azure will be in charge of them!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��There��s one more thing that needs to be entrusted to you.��


    Profound Secrets replied, ��What is it, Lord Saint Azure? Feel free to give the order.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Lend me your Primeval War Realm to use. Let my Pill Tower��s alchemy path powerhouses enter and comprehend the Dao. With the time acceleration here, it might be able to give birth to Dao pill level powerhouses!��


    Profound Secrets�� eyes lit up and he said with a nod, ��I��ll obey Lord Saint Azure��s orders!��


    In the past, Profound Secrets looked down on the alchemy path because the alchemy path��s inheritance had already been cut off.


    But now, he knew that the ancient times�� alchemy path inheritance was left behind by Ye Yuan in the first place. Then what did he still have to hesitate for?


    In the past, Ye Yuan imparted Dao at Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma. It was to guide those alchemy path powerhouses into Great Dao!��


    With the addition of time law, who knew whether Dao pill level powerhouses would be born or not?

 Chapter 2402 - Divine Children Legion!

    ��Commander-in-Chief of the human race three armies, Ni Xuan, pays respect to Lord Saint Azure!��


    In front of Ye Yuan was a 60-year-old looking old man.


    This Ni Xuan was the commander of the human army, a Deva Fifth Blight supreme powerhouse!


    It was just that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had already notified all races that Saint Azure had returned and must be treated with the highest courtesy.


    Ni Xuan was currently sizing up this young man, being incredibly shocked in his heart.


    He was a supreme powerhouse who attained Dao in this epoch and did not experience that era before. He was somewhat unable to understand why Lord Profound Secrets would be so respectful toward a junior.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, ��Talk about the current situation.��


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s attitude, Ni Xuan was a little unhappy about it in his heart, but he still reported the current situation strictly according to the facts.


    The divine race came out of the West Realms�� Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms. They were like a hot knife cutting through butter along the way and were already approaching the Middle Realms.


    The myriad races�� coalition force fought as they retreated. It was very difficult to stop the divine race army.


    The divine race��s individual combat power was extremely strong. After reaching a large scale, it became even harder for the myriad races to resist.


    The eight great supreme demon races that were originally living in the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms suffered heavy losses.


    Fortunately, the myriad races�� reinforcements arrived, barely managing to stop the divine race army.


    But even so, the fallen powerhouses of the myriad races were already too many to count.


    However, both sides�� top experts were still maintaining restraint at the moment and did not really come to blows.


    Otherwise, the battle situation would be far from just this.


    Of course, this day would not be too far away too.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed slightly too.


    In his view, the divine race smashing into enemy territory like splitting bamboo was not because they were too strong, but that the coalition forces were too scattered.


    Was the representation of the Unpredictable Children also not a microcosm of the myriad races presently?


    Regardless of whether it was the human race, demon race, or fiend race, the current fighting will could not be compared to back then at all.


    Lacking the courage to look death calmly in the face, how could they resist the powerful divine race?


    Also did not know whether the comfortable life that Shang Hang they all used blood to exchange for was right or not.


    Regarding this kind of situation, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was helpless too.


    Some things could not be changed by human strength.


    Profound Secrets contacted a million unpredictable children, but in the end, he could only recruit a 100 thousand strong army.


    This 100 thousand army was handed to Ye Yuan to command now, arriving at the front lines.


    ��Under Nine-marks, I want to go to the most dangerous place!�� Ye Yuan said straightforwardly.


    Ni Xuan thought about it and said, ��Because of Lord Saint Azure saying so, there��s really something that needs Your Excellency to make your way over!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up and he said, ��Oh, let��s hear it.��


    Ni Xuan said, ��A few days ago, the dragon clan had an army who suffered the sudden ambush of the divine race, suffering heavy losses. Fortunately, this army had a young girl with an unusual gift. Under her crying, it brought down a great catastrophe, avoiding a disaster. However, they are still trapped in Upper Essence Valley, unable to get away. I sent an army to go and rescue them but was ambushed by the divine race army, and it was completely wiped out! With my judgment, this army might very likely be the divine race��s Divine Children Legion, their strength incomparably formidable. This army of Lord Saint Azure��s can just nice come in handy!��


    Ye Yuan listened halfway and his expression already changed.


    Bringing down a great catastrophe with crying, wasn��t this Long Xiaochun?


    Long Xiaochun was currently trapped in Upper Essence Valley?


    He frowned and said, ��Then is there still hope of survival for this dragon race army right now?��


    Ni Xuan shook his head and said, ��This can no longer be ascertained! Upper Essence Valley is a dangerous place to begin with; incomparably perilous. They also relied on geographical advantage to barely avoid a calamity. Even if they can avoid the pursuit of the Divine Children Legion, they might not be able to escape the dangers of Upper Essence Valley too.��


    Ye Yuan��s heart immediately sunk to the bottom.


    ��Alright, the matter brooks no delay. I��ll go to Upper Essence Valley now!��After that, Ye Yuan did not say a word and turned around and left.


    �� ��


    Along the way, Ye Yuan led the army and went at lightning speed.


    At the thought of Long Xiaochun that adorable little girl, Ye Yuan felt a gut-wrenching pain.


    He only hoped that nothing happened to Long Xiaochun.


    Ye Yuan even heard Ni Xuan saying that this Divine Children Legion was an army of the divine race that had a great reputation!


    One could say that it was virtually ever-victorious!


    There was once a human army led by a Deva Second Blight as the commander. They were crushed by this Divine Children Legion and the Deva Second Blight commander was killed in battle!


    It could be seen how strong the combat power of this army was.


    It was said that this Divine Children Legion was all composed of divine children who had been eliminated in the past. The numbers were no less than 200 thousand and they were virtually all late-stage Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm super powerhouses!


    The divine race��s divine children, each of them had extremely strong combat power.


    Even divine children who were eliminated, their combat power could not be underestimated too.


    Even if they were not as good as divine children, they were likely not far off either.


    This scale of powerhouses, the numbers reached 200 thousand. Their combat power was simply too terrifying.


    Beside Ye Yuan, Wan Zhen warned, ��Lord Saint Azure, if we rush over like this without due consideration, if we get ambushed by this Divine Children Legion, we��ll suffer heavy losses!��


    ��Humph! Even though you��re Saint Azure, I hope that you cherish the lives of these unpredictable children too! Everyone came to train themselves, not to court death!�� Pang Zhen said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry, he just said coolly, ��Relax, they won��t be able to ambush us!��


    It was a rapid march throughout the journey, the army did not even send out scouts.


    Although Wan Zhen they all had never experienced war before, they also knew that this way of doing things was very unreliable.


    According to normal methods, they should send some powerhouses with keen perception over to scout information.


    But Ye Yuan was seemingly not being cautious. In order to save people, he forgot about even this.


    At this time, Wan Zhen was also a little angry in his heart.


    Ye Yuan traveled through spacetime and returned as Saint Azure. Could it be that he would not listen to other people��s advice anymore too?


    When Ni Xuan was talking, he was present too. He knew that Ye Yuan had kin who were trapped in Upper Essence Valley. His kins�� lives were lives, while these unpredictable children��s lives were not lives?


    The army had not started fighting yet and differences already appeared within.


    Suddenly, Pang Zhen��s figure paused and he said in a solemn voice, ��Everybody stop!��


    When he did so, the army just had to stop.


    Pang Zhen was the descendant of a Dao Ancestor. Even though his status was not as lofty as Ye Yuan��s, his rallying power was rather strong too!


    Most importantly, he was in the right this time!


    These unpredictable children were here to train. They could accept dying, but they could not go and die without rhyme or reason!


    Pang Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��Apologies, Lord Saint Azure! It is not that I, Pang Zhen, am afraid to risk my neck. It��s really that your way of commanding the army is too dangerous. Any further in front and we might suffer the ambush of the Divine Children Legion at any time! You want to save your kin, I won��t stop you, but you can��t let everyone die in vain!��


    Even Wan Zhen was also standing on Pang Zhen��s size at this time. He said in earnest, ��Ye Yuan, could it be that after you became Saint Azure, you won��t even listen to everyone��s earnest advice anymore?��


    The rest also revealed indignant looks, clearly being very unhappy with Ye Yuan��s action.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was very calm as he said with a faint smile, ��I��m very gratified that you all can think for the safety of your officers and men! However, I��m not letting you all go and seek death! The Divine Children Legion is hidden in the forest 300 thousand miles away! I��m bringing you all to go and ambush them, and not letting them come and ambush us!��

 Chapter 2403 - How Did They Find Us?

    ��You �� You know this?��


    Pang Zhen had a suspicious look on his face. He spread his divine sense out but did not discover any activity at all.


    Wan Zhen was the same as him, also unwittingly letting his divine sense out, and likewise did not notice anything.


    Hence, they expressed doubt in Ye Yuan��s words.


    ��How do you know that they are in the forest 300 thousand miles away? Even if they are there, they have the means to hide their auras too, right? You can even discover it from so far away?�� Wan Zhen said in amazement.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No matter how deep they hide, it can��t escape my perception either! If you don��t believe it, just go and take a look. But before this, let��s cover up our auras first!��


    When Ye Yuan��s realm was very low back then, he could already vaguely perceive Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� probing.


    Now, Ye Yuan already became the supreme powerhouse of his generation. There were really not more than a few people who could hide from his eyes and ears in this world.


    Especially after comprehending spacetime law, Ye Yuan��s perception could even penetrate time and space.


    Although the Divine Children Legion hide very covertly, how could they hide from the present Saint Azure?


    While talking, Ye Yuan laid down a large formation, enveloping the entire army in it.


    Inside this large formation contained extremely profound spatial law. Even if a Deva Realm powerhouse was here, it would be hard to detect it too.


    When Wan Zhen and the rest saw Ye Yuan��s means, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    The current Ye Yuan became increasingly unfathomable in their eyes.


    Utilizing sword formation to battle was one thing, covering an entire army of 100 thousand people in an array formation was another matter altogether.


    This kind of thing, probably even ordinary Deva Realm formation gods were unable to easily accomplish it.


    Only then did everyone somewhat understand why Profound Secrets, Shang Hang, and the rest were so respectful towards Ye Yuan.


    This existence who created an eternal legend was indeed not what mortals could gauge.


    The army concealed their aura and advanced quietly.


    But the Divine Children Legion opposite was completely clueless!


    A blue-shirt middle-aged man in the Divine Children Legion said, ��Commander Tian Xu, we��ve already completely wiped out a human army the last time. Is there still a need to carry on waiting here?��


    Tian Xu was ranked second among the divine race��s Heaven Lineage��s nine elders and was also this Divine Children Legion��s chief commander!


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that the one speaking was none other than precisely the Nineorigin who injured him badly back then!


    Now, not only did Nineorigin recover fully, his strength even went a step further, reaching peak Eight-marks Heavenly Dao.


    He was merely a step away from being a Nine-marks sovereign!


    Nineorigin was an unsuccessful divine son from the previous generation. But his strength was at the top of the list among the failed divine children too, that was why he would enter the Profound Lineage��s nine elders.


    As for those true divine children, they had long already stepped into Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, becoming supreme powerhouses of the divine race.


    Now, his strength improving further, he already assumed the post of Tian Xu��s deputy.


    Think about it, this army was composed of powerhouses at Nineorigin��s level, how formidable was their combat power!


    When Tian Xu heard that, he just smiled faintly and said, ��Relax, there will definitely still be an army coming! I��ve already ordered people to spread the news out. Right now, the coalition forces that side should have gotten the news! Regardless of whether it is the human race or the demon race, they must come and save people! Otherwise, they will get hit with the reputation of abandoning comrades. At that time, the coalition forces will be divided in heart and divided in practice! Of course, I��d prefer that they don��t come.��


    Nineorigin��s eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs-up as he praised, ��As expected of Lord Commander! This blatant scheme, the coalition forces won��t be able to crack it no matter what! If they come, who is our Divine Children Legion��s match? Not coming, they will be divided in heart and divided in practice, and crumble even harder when the hearts of people are scattered!��


    Got to admit, this move of Tian Xu��s was very brilliant.


    Large-scale battles were mostly below Deva Realm.


    And on this level, it was impossible for anyone to be the Divine Children Legion��s match at all.


    As for Deva Realm or Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm level powerhouses, their numbers were too few and large-scale battles rarely broke out.


    Furthermore, their fighting power was extremely destructive. So before the final battle began, both sides maintained relative restraint.


    Of course, it was also not that there were no Deva level fights. Both sides clashed many things and most of it ended with the victory of the divine race.


    The Doomsday Battle fighting until now, it was virtually a one-sided victory for the divine race.


    Tian Xu smiled smugly and said, ��Therefore, we��ll stay here calmly and wait for them to come and die! This aura concealing grand array that Lord Tian Yu laid down is really useful! There are already quite a number of Deva Realm powerhouses who came over to investigate, but they didn��t discover us!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    �� ��


    Tian Xu��s words had yet to fade when all of a sudden, the earth shook and mountains swayed.


    A horrifying energy undulation instantly smashed into the Divine Children Legion.


    For a moment, miserable cries echoed together.


    ��Enemy attack!��


    ��Quickly retaliate! There��s an enemy attack!��


    ��Damn humans, to actually dare ambush us! How did they discover us?��


    �� ��


    This Divine Children Legion was obviously well-trained. After encountering an enemy attack, although they were surprised, they did not panic!


    After a brief panic, an effective attack was organized very quickly.


    Furthermore, the Divine Children Legion was superior in numbers.


    Although the sneak attack this time caused heavy losses, it did not break the bones.


    But they had a question in their minds. How did the human army discover them?


    One had to know, even Deva Realm powerhouses came to investigate before but left in disgrace.


    Nineorigin was alarmed and said, ��This �� How did the humans discover us? Furthermore, our hidden sentries actually didn��t discover them!��


    Tian Xu��s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Looks like we ran into an expert! But, no need to panic. Even if they already discovered us, there��s no return for them either!��


    Done talking, he released his divine essence and said in a loud voice, ��Everyone, don��t panic. All get into position and face the enemy!��


    Sure enough, under his word of command, everyone lined up into formation systematically and started confronting the enemy.


    On the other side, Ye Yuan also marveled endlessly.


    Circumstances changed with the passing of time. The myriad races and the divine race��s situation already quietly reversed.


    As the saying went, an army burning with righteous indignation was bound to win. Although the divine race was still haughty, they were the oppressed soldiers now.


    The rise of the myriad races was a humiliation to them.


    This time, they wanted to take it all back!


    And the last Doomsday Battle just happened to be the opposite.


    The Divine Children Legion��s fighting spirit was not what the humans could compare to at all!


    If his own army encountered an enemy attack, they would probably instantly be routed like a landslide.


    But this Divine Children Legion in front of him secured their positions very quickly.


    But Ye Yuan also understood that this was only the beginning.


    Without bloodshed, how could it create true powerhouses?


    He led his men in a charge, the True Nirvana Sword Formation blooming, charging into the enemy army.


    The True Nirvana Sword Formation was ever-victorious. But in such a scale of battle, especially when the opponents were all divine children level powerhouses, it was impossible for him to reap wantonly anymore.


    But even so, he was still like a sharp knife, stabbing into the enemy��s chest ruthlessly.


    He alone carved out a huge opening.


    And behind him, the likes of Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen were similarly incomparably courageous, killing until heaven and earth dimmed.


    The Divine Children Legion��s formation was not formed yet and was burst through by Ye Yuan.


    However, just as Tian Xu opened his mouth to speak, Ye Yuan��s divine sense captured a familiar figure.


    A hint of an imperceptible smile showed at the corners of his mouth.

 Chapter 2404 - Really Admire Your Courage!

    Nineorigin!


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually ran into Nineorigin here!


    It was precisely this person who forced him into a hopeless situation.


    It was also precisely this person who took Li-er away from his side, making them unable to be together.


    At that time, how high and mighty was this person.


    As if he looked down on everything in this world.


    But the Ye Yuan back then, nearly died on the spot even if they used their final trump card.


    That battle was also the most disastrous battle that Ye Yuan had experienced in his life.


    He practically fought until he reached the brink of collapse.


    Later, if he wasn��t lucky, he would probably have long already died.


    However, Ye Yuan did not immediately go find trouble with Nineorigin. He already locked onto Nineorigin and was not scared that he would run away.


    If he left alone right now, that was being irresponsible to the whole army.


    Without him charging into battle, this human army would likely fall apart very quickly.


    However, when Ye Yuan charged, the outcome was akin to a no-man��s-land. It still dealt a tremendous impact on the Divine Children Legion.


    Under his leadership, these unpredictable children were also all boundlessly fired up, being unrestrained and excited from killing.


    Although the opponent was very strong, a great battle with a scale of more than 100 thousand people, momentum was similarly important!


    Once unpredictable children were defeated, they would immediately fall apart.


    But similarly, once they became excited from killing their opponents, they would also go out of control.


    Currently, as they faced the Divine Children Legion which was twice as many as them, they actually did not fall into a disadvantage in the slightest.


    ��How is it possible? Our Divine Children Legion is actually being suppressed!��


    ��Where did this human army pop out from, to actually have such formidable strength!��


    ��Especially their commander, his realm is clearly not high, but his law comprehension is extremely terrifying! Where did this guy pop out from?��


    �� ��


    The Divine Children Legion��s warriors were all incredibly shocked. Since they first made their appearance in the world, they had even killed before a Deva Second Blight supreme powerhouse, and had never tasted defeat!


    But today, they were actually being suppressed all-around!


    In their eyes, humans were too weak to stand up to a gust of breeze. An assault and they would be gone.


    However, this army��s combat power was strong beyond imagination, especially Ye Yuan! They unleashed all of their abilities but were still unable to stop him.


    Wherever Ye Yuan charged, there would definitely be a swathe of divine children who fell!


    One had to know, although these were unsuccessful divine children, for them to be able to compete with divine children, they had formidable strength to begin with.


    But they actually could not even block a same-rank human!


    This kind of thing simply subverted their understanding.


    The commotion on Ye Yuan��s side was noticed by Tian Xu very quickly.


    Tian Xu was a qualified commander. He used a very short time and determined where the soul of this army lay!


    ��Ignore the others! Gather all your strength to deal with that white-shirt human! Remember, at all costs!�� Tian Xu said with a solemn look.


    Under his word of command, the Divine Children Legion��s various leaders immediately brought their own squads and rushed over toward Ye Yuan crazily.


    They simply ignored the consequences and were completely using lives to stuff it up!


    For a moment, Ye Yuan��s pressure rose sharply!


    It was true that he was strong, but one person facing the 200 thousand strong Divine Children Legion was clearly too strenuous.


    After all, these were all not ordinary members of the divine race!


    But the heavy pressure on his side liberated the rest of the unpredictable children.


    The likes of Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen brought their teams to rush and kill non-stop. The Divine Children Legion suffered heavy casualties.


    This battle entered a white-hot stage very soon.


    Large-scale casualties started appearing on both sides.


    Beside Tianxu, Nineorigin��s entire body suddenly trembled and he exclaimed, ��I-It��s him!��


    Tian Xu frowned and said, ��You know him?��


    Nineorigin said in shock, ��I��ll recognize even if he turns to ashes! It was him who forcefully knocked me down a realm! But how is this possible? At that time, his small world had already collapsed! He should have completely become a cripple! But it��s just been a short thousand years�� time, and his strength actually already grew to such a terrifying level?��


    Ye Yuan��s current temperament had already undergone earth-shaking changes from back then.


    Back then, he was still just a tender youth. But currently, Ye Yuan regained the name of Saint Azure and was already having the air of a sovereign!


    Furthermore, he was augmented with spacetime law, giving people a mysterious and hard to fathom feeling.


    Therefore, Nineorigin did not recognize him at first.


    But he was too familiar with Ye Yuan after all!


    For so many years, this had been a nightmare-like existence to him.


    Although he had a pyrrhic victory in that battle, his opponent was merely just an Empyrean Realm brat!


    This kind of victory was a humiliation to him.


    Nineorigin thought that Ye Yuan would become a cripple ever since then.


    Who knew that meeting again after a thousand years, Ye Yuan already grew to the extent of making him have cold feet!


    Just looking at his current combat power, fighting one-on-one, he would really be killing him like killing a chicken!


    Tian Xu naturally knew about Nineorigin��s matters. Hearing him say so, he was extremely shocked too.


    ��It��s him? A human��s small world collapsing, how could he possibly cultivate to such a boundary within a thousand years?�� Tian Xu said in shock.


    A thousand years, cultivating from a puny little Empyrean to an invincible Heavenly Emperor.


    This rate of progress was really too horrifying!


    A hint of viciousness flashed across in Nineorigin��s eyes and he said in a chilly voice, ��Lord Commander, you mustn��t let this boy continue to grow! He must be killed today!��


    Tian Xu deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, ��This boy is too terrifying. Furthermore, he��s already close to the Deva Realm! If let him continue to grow, the consequences will be too ghastly to imagine! I previously received news that there just happens to be three Nine-marks experts in the vicinity. I��ll send an Instant Message Crystal to them right now and request them to come over and kill this guy!��


    Nineorigin said in pleasant surprise, ��Lord Commander is wise!��


    Tian Xu said, ��This boy is too strong. We can��t let things continue like this anymore. I��ll go and face him!��


    Done talking, he leaped and joined in the battle.


    Although Tian Xu was peak Eight-marks, his strength was matchless in the entire Divine Children Legion!


    His status was like Ye Yuan��s status in the human army.


    His addition immediately greatly roused the morale of the divine children army!


    ��Soldiers against soldiers, general facing general! Boy, I��ll challenge you!�� Tian Xu looked at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice.


    A hint of contempt showed in Ye Yuan��s eyes and he said coolly, ��Are you a divine child?��


    Tian Xu could not help choking when he heard this. He was indeed not a divine child.


    But that was because the competition in the Heaven Lineage was too fierce!


    His strength when placed in other branch lineages was even somewhat stronger than divine children!


    Ye Yuan looked at his expression and immediately understood, and he could not help laughing as he said, ��Even a divine son isn��t my match, based on just the likes of you? Still say soldiers against soldiers, general facing general, I really admire your courage!��


    Tian Xu gave a cold laugh and said, ��Brat, you��re too arrogant! My Heaven Lineage��s strength isn��t what you can imagine! Although this commander isn��t a divine child, my strength isn��t the slightest bit worse than a divine child too! Dealing with you, it��s sufficient!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly and said, ��Is that so? Then �� bring it on!��


    Tian Xu was sent into a flaming rage by Ye Yuan��s contemptuous attitude.


    It was only to see his aura being released, and a horrifying Heavenly Dao pressure suddenly descended.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s True Nirvana Sword Formation suddenly activated.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Countless sword intent surged, Tian Xu did not have time to even make a move and was pierced into a sieve by Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2405 - Devastating the Divine Children Legion!

    In an instant, it was as if the air solidified.


    The battle that was originally fighting until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, suddenly came to a stop.


    Both sides stopped at once.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan��s side,being shocked to the extreme.


    Their chief commander, an existence close to invincible beneath Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, was actually one-shotted in a single exchange?


    It turned out that Ye Yuan did not use his full strength previously.


    His True Nirvana Sword Formation was not even integrated with spacetime law.


    Dealing with Tian Xu, Ye Yuan fused spatial source inside, and the power immediately increased several levels!


    One had to know, before Ye Yuan went to the spacetime turbulence, his strength already crushed Wan Zhen and the rest.


    Now, returning domineeringly, his spacetime law already reached an elusive realm.


    Dealing with a mere peak Eight-marks Heavenly Dao Realm was seriously nothing much.


    Forget that Tian Xu was not a divine child, even if he was a divine child, it would not be hard for Ye Yuan to kill him too!


    ��Chief Commander!��


    ��This isn��t possible! How can Chief Commander be �� dead before unleashing a single move?��


    ��Aren��t humans all a bunch of ants? Why is he so strong?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, the impact that it dealt to the Divine Children Legion was seriously too strong.


    The strongest person in their legion was one-shotted by Ye Yuan!


    Before this, any one of them could easily kill same-rank humans when they took action.


    But now, what kind of situation was this.


    Especially Nineorigin, his two eyes became wide-saucers, somewhat wondering whether he saw wrongly or not.


    Was this horrifying to the extreme major power before his eyes, really that young man who stood in front of him back then, and yelled out, ��Why would I, Ye Yuan, fear a fight��?


    How lowly was he at that time?


    But after a thousand years, this lowly youth already became a top major power that left him dead in the water.


    He touched his heart and felt that he already regarded Ye Yuan highly enough. But only at the end did he discover to his dismay that he still underestimated Ye Yuan!


    No way! Allowing him to continue growing unchecked, he��ll definitely be my divine race��s mortal calamity! Got to hold him back! After the three Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses come, he��ll be dead for sure! Nineorigin shouted in his heart.


    Thinking up to here, he had no more thoughts in his heart and roared angrily, ��What are you all still in a daze for? Everyone, attack together! Avenge Chief Commander! Kill this guy, at all costs!��


    This voice immediately shattered the brief stasis.


    All of the divine children were immediately startled awake.


    Tian Xu��s prestige was extremely high in the Divine Children Legion. Nineorigin��s shout immediately aroused their fighting spirit.


    Hence, the divine children pounced over toward Ye Yuan without heed for their lives.


    They completely disregarded casualties, each and every one killing until their eyes turned red, only wanting Ye Yuan��s life.


    As for the army behind Ye Yuan, they did not care about it at all anymore.


    In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan��s pressure suddenly increased!


    When 200 thousand Divine Children Legion pounced on a person at the same time, the combat power practically already closed in on Deva Second Blight.


    A threat of death immediately rushed over.


    But Ye Yuan was not alarmed when he saw this situation, but happy instead.


    What he wanted was this kind of feeling!


    Only a fight between life and death could stimulate his potential!


    Furthermore, him sharing other people��s pressure, the others could also get corresponding training!


    If let the others clash head-on with the Divine Children Legion, that would be a one-sided slaughter and not training anymore.


    Although unpredictable children were strong, facing the well-trained Divine Children Legion, they still fell short by a lot.


    Let alone that they were even at a disadvantage in numbers.


    This situation in front of them could be said to be the most ideal state already.


    Facing the Divine Children Legion��s frenzied assault, Ye Yuan could not hide his strength anymore.


    The complete version of the True Nirvana Sword Formation was fully released!


    In an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to have fallen into Ye Yuan��s tempo.


    The profound sword formation law reverberated back and forth inside the sword formation, the power terrifying to the extreme.


    However, the Divine Children Legion��s frenzied attacks similarly could not be underestimated.


    The divine race only cultivated Heavenly Dao, they brought the coercion of Great Dao to contend with Ye Yuan.


    One person��s strength might not be much, but 200 thousand people added together, it was terrifying.


    Inside the sword formation, intense rumbling sounds erupted.


    The entire battlefield already became an utter mess.


    The forest in a radius of 100 thousand miles was long already razed to the ground.


    But the more they fought, the more alarmed the Divine Children Legion became!


    Ye Yuan��s combat power was simply hair-raisingly strong!


    Him alone, practically shouldered close to half of the entire Divine Children Legion��s offensive power.


    It was equivalent to him alone blocking half of the Divine Children Legion.


    How could this sort of thing happen in reality?


    If Ye Yuan was Deva Realm, then forget it.


    But Ye Yuan was just a Heavenly Emperor Realm martial artist!


    They did not dare to believe that this sort of thing was actually real.


    Yet, it was happening before their eyes.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s sword formation made them want to vomit blood very much.


    The advantage of numbers was diminished to the extreme by the True Nirvana Sword Formation.


    It was impossible for them to want to deal with Ye Yuan like dealing with that Deva Second Blight powerhouse!


    When those divine children arrived before Ye Yuan, they would be divided naturally by the sword formation, unable to form a powerful cohesive force at all.


    Even for the current Ye Yuan, if he clashed head-on with the Divine Children Legion, it would be the outcome of certain death too.


    Hence, he naturally would not be so silly.


    However, the Nineorigin in the Divine Children Legion, the shock in his heart grew even stronger.


    He was already unable to describe the feelings in his heart!


    Ye Yuan��s means of one-shotting Tian Xu was actually still not his full strength!


    This guy actually cultivated Sword Dao source, Formation Dao source, as well as spacetime law, to such a horrifying realm at the same time.


    This kind of thing was simply too heaven-defying!


    Of course, Ye Yuan himself would not be relaxed too.


    The Divine Children Legion was well-trained and extremely cohesive; far from what the human army could compare to.


    The extremely tragic battle still caused him significant injuries.


    Even with his current strength, these divine children were very hard to kill too.


    Fortunately, he was extremely tenacious and not afraid of a battle of attrition.


    This was a fierce battle, true for the Divine Children Legion, and similarly the same for Ye Yuan!


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not know that danger was currently slowly approaching!


    �� ��


    Extremely far away, three streaks of flowing light actually met together without prior agreement.


    ��Mn? Tian Zhao, Li Qing, you guys actually came too! Looks like Tian Xu that kid ran into a considerable problem!��


    The one speaking was the Profound Lineage��s Nine-marks powerhouse, Yuan Zhen. This person was precisely a divine son of the same period as Nineorigin!


    At present, he already entered the realm of Nine-marks, looking down on the world, becoming a Profound Lineage ancestor-class powerhouse.


    His strength was much stronger than even Deva First Blight, closing in on Deva Second Blight!


    As for the other two, Tian Zhao and Li Qing, they were respectively the Heaven Lineage and Yellow Lineage��s Nine-marks powerhouses. Their strength similarly should not be underestimated.


    These three people gathering together would absolutely be a nightmare to the Ye Yuan who fell into a fierce fight.


    ��Yuan Zhen, you actually came too! Looks like the Divine Children Legion really met its match this time. We need to hurry up! The Divine Children Legion is an important army for suppressing the world, nothing must happen!�� Tian Zhao also said with a slightly dark look.


    The other two deeply felt that way too and said, ��Can��t delay anymore. Hurry up!��

 Chapter 2406 - Battling Three Great Nine-marks Powerhouses Alone!

    After a fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties.


    Of course, the losses of the Divine Children Legion were more miserable.


    After more than half a day, the combat power that the Divine Children Legion lost was already several tens of thousands!


    This scale of loss was the first time in the history of the Divine Children Legion.


    Everyone wanted to kill Ye Yuan, but the final results were their own deaths.


    Ye Yuan��s True Nirvana Sword Formation was like a bottomless hole, continuously devouring the lives of the divine children.


    Presently, Ye Yuan alone already killed close to ten thousand divine children, but he himself stood firm like a mountain.


    Nineorigin wandered outside of the sword formation, screaming frantically in his heart, hoping for those three great Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realms to arrive as soon as possible.


    At this time, he was virtually passing each second as if it was a year!


    Seeing one companion after another die in front of him, he was almost going insane.


    Of course, along with the passage of time, the effect of the sneak attack was already lost.


    Under the positional warfare, their casualties started to intensify.


    In a short half a day��s time, the army of 100 thousand people already lost close to 20 thousand people.


    A loss of this scale was still because Ye Yuan contained the vast majority of the military force.


    Pang Zhen and the rest became more and more terrified as they fought. Only now did they know how strong the divine race��s combat power was.


    Looking at the Ye Yuan who was shuttling back and forth indeterminately inside the army, they could not help but admire.


    If not for Ye Yuan, even if they could find this place, even if they ambushed, it would likely be the outcome of complete annihilation too.


    This point was not worth the slightest doubt.


    But they also discovered that this battle fighting until now, even though the casualties were heavy, the casualties were gradually decreasing.


    Some unpredictable children already made considerable improvement after experiencing a tragic battle.


    Indeed as Ye Yuan said, a battle at one��s limit was the fastest way to increase one��s strength!


    As long as they survived this battle, this human army would become an elite division!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan��s expression changed.


    He sensed that several powerful auras were moving quickly to this side.


    This shock was by no means insignificant.


    These few auras were very powerful, virtually arriving in an instant.


    When Yuan Zhen three people rushed over and saw this miserable scene, they were also dumbstruck with shock.


    They had never thought that the Divine Children Legion would actually be forced to such an extent!


    This Divine Children Legion before their eyes was already close to half lost.


    The army of over 200 thousand was only left with 120 to 130 thousand people already.


    It could be seen how strong this battle��s opponents were!


    ��Where did this human army pop out from? How can they be so strong?�� Tian Zhao said in shock.


    Yuan Zhen��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said, ��Looks like we underestimated the humans! However, Tian Xu is actually not in the army. Could it be that �� he actually fell?��


    The moment the two people looked, they indeed did not find Tian Xu, and could not help being shocked.


    The piece of intel was sent by Tian Xu, but Tian Xu was no longer in the army.


    Then there was only one possibility. Tian Xu already died!


    But the army was still there and the commander was already dead.


    This kind of situation was really too surprising.


    Yuan Zhen��s gaze suddenly fell on Ye Yuan and his pupils could not help constricting.


    ��That human restrained close to half of the military might by himself, truly terrifying! Tian Xu probably called us here for him! I really didn��t think that the humans actually had such a terrifying genius!�� Yuan Zhen exclaimed.


    But right at this time, Nineorigin finally discovered these three people and was immediately overcome with joy, calling out in a loud voice, ��Lord Yuan Zhen, Commander Tian Xu has already been killed by Ye Yuan! This boy��s talent is too monstrous. We definitely can��t let him live! Three excellencies, please take action and kill this guy!��


    Yuan Zhen��s eyes turned slightly grim and he said with a nod, ��Understood! Tian Zhao, Li Qing, attack together and kill this boy!��


    At the same time with him being shocked, Yuan Zhen��s apprehension toward Ye Yuan also became extremely strong.


    He already saw through that Ye Yuan��s sword formation contained four kinds of terrifying power of laws. Furthermore, all of them practically reached the level of rank two source.


    This kind of talent was simply too inconceivable.


    How could this sort of person be left on this earth?


    Boom!


    Yuan Zhen released his aura, the pressure of Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm suddenly spread out.


    Only then did many unpredictable children notice Yuan Zhen three people. Their expressions immediately changed wildly.


    ��Lord Saint Azure, things are bad! Three Nine-marks powerhouses actually came from the divine race! This place isn��t suitable to stay for long. Let��s hurry up and retreat!�� Wan Zhen exclaimed.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan yelled out, ��All hold steady for me! It��s already too late to retreat now. It will only cause more casualties! Leave these three people to me! Wan Zhen, Pang Zhen, the Divine Children Legion will be left to you all!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly turned into nothingness.


    When he appeared again, he was already facing Yuan Zhen.


    Rumble!


    In virtually a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan already clashed with the three people.


    A single rumble made everyone present extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan was actually completely unscathed under the pincer-attack of the three great Nine-marks powerhouses!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan came and went as he pleased.


    If he wanted to go, nobody could keep him at all.


    It was easy for him to leave, but it would not be that easy for the other unpredictable children to want to leave.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan did not leave!


    Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen were all sensible people. One looked and they knew what was going on.


    This sudden turn of events was what everyone did not expect.


    But Ye Yuan��s action made them inexplicably moved.


    He alone blocked more than half of the pressure!


    Wan Zhen said in a clear voice, ��Brothers, hold on for me! Lord Saint Azure fought dauntlessly in a bloody battle for us. So we can��t hold him back either! The Divine Children Legion is merely like this. Let��s kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    �� ��


    For some time, the human army was greatly encouraged and erupted with a powerful combat strength.


    However, the moment Ye Yuan left, the Divine Children Legion��s combat power was instantly liberated. Their combat strength suddenly increased by a huge margin.


    In virtually an instant, both sides�� fighting escalated again.


    The battle became even more miserable.


    While on Ye Yuan��s side, Ye Yuan actually blocked three great Nine-marks powerhouses with his power alone!


    And among them, there was even a true divine child, Yuan Zhen!


    Although these three people just entered Nine-marks, their combat power already closed in on Deva Second Blight.


    But even so, Ye Yuan��s True Nirvana Sword Formation still resisted them stubbornly.


    ��Blazing Flame Heavenly Pit!��


    ��True Martial Universe!��


    ��Taiyi Heaven Seal!��


    Yuan Zhen three people did not hesitate in the slightest, unleashing powerful moves.


    But when they faced off against Ye Yuan, they felt like they had fallen into a quagmire.


    The vortex of spacetime law greatly reduced the power of their formidable moves.


    The more the three fought, the more shocked they became!


    A mere human late-stage Heavenly Emperor martial artist actually jumped realms and blocked the teaming-up of three great Nine-marks powerhouses?


    When Nineorigin saw this scene, he was shocked until he was staring dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape.


    To the divine race, Eight-marks to Nine-marks was a heavenly chasm!


    This heavenly chasm was far from what Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor to Deva First Blight could compare to.


    But crossing this heavenly chasm, it was tantamount to standing on top of the summit, and one could roam the world unhindered!


    Even if a powerhouse who just entered Nine-marks faced off against a Deva First Blight, it was virtually rolling them over too!


    But now, Ye Yuan actually blocked the teaming-up of three great Nine-marks powerhouses with his power alone?

 Chapter 2407 - Heavenly Dao True Martial!

    ��Our divine race only cultivates Heavenly Dao, and fights the enemy with the power of Heavenly Dao! But the Heavenly Dao contained within this sword formation is actually much stronger than me! How can the human race have such a monstrous person?�� While fighting fiercely, Yuan Zhen��s heart shook wildly.


    Heavenly Dao was the foundation of all things, towering above laws!


    As the saying went, Dao gave birth to one, one birthed two, two birthed three, three birthed all things.


    Heavenly Dao was the root of everything.


    The divine race enjoyed exceptional advantages in cultivation innately. Their combat power was several times that of other races of the same rank.


    But now, they were actually beaten by a human junior!


    How could they not be surprised by such a thing?


    ��No wonder Tian Xu called us over so anxiously. If this boy doesn��t die, he��ll be my divine race��s mortal calamity!�� Li Qing also said.


    ��His injuries aren��t light. Take his life while he��s injured!�� Tian Zhao also said.


    After the shock, a strong killing intent surged in the three people��s hearts.


    The sense of danger that Ye Yuan gave them was too strong.


    What was even scarier was that Ye Yuan was currently still entering the battle with injuries.


    If Ye Yuan was not killed today, after he grew up, he would become even more terrifying.


    He might bring indelible damage to the divine race.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan must be nipped in the bud.


    The three people��s auras increased tremendously.


    Previously, they still more or less harbored slight underestimation of Ye Yuan and were holding back to some extent.


    This time, they were going all out!


    Yuan Zhen looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes full of indifference as he said, ��Boy, you��re very good, you can even match ancient human powerhouses already! Being able to force me to use this move, you can be sufficiently proud!��


    ��Celestial Avatar!��


    Yuan Zhen roared fiercely, the nine Dark marks on his body suddenly became extremely dazzling.


    His body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Very soon, he expanded to three times his original size, becoming a big and tall giant.


    The explosive power that surged from his body made everyone��s faces change drastically.


    When Nineorigin saw this scene, he could not help laughing wildly as he said, ��Hahaha �� Celestial Avatar! Lord Yuan Zhen��s Heavenly Dao True Martial! He finally used this move! Ye Yuan, you��re dead for sure!��


    He and Yuan Zhen competed for the position of divine children at the same time. At that time, Yuan Zhen relied on this move to sweep away his opponents in the same generation and to establish his position of divine son in one stroke.


    This move borrowed the power of Heavenly Dao to strengthen one��s physical body.


    The divine race merged body and spirit. Their physical bodies were extremely powerful to begin with. Even if it was inferior to Ye Yuan��s perfect ninth transformation, it was also not far off.


    But this move could borrow the power of Heavenly Dao to break the shackles of the physical body, making one��s strength skyrocket dozens of times all at once!


    This kind of level already surpassed the category of the nine transformations, and reached the level of Dao!


    That kind of explosive power made people tremble.


    Being able to become a divine child, each one had formidable combat power.


    The true power of the divine race, apart from Tian Qing, was accumulated by precisely the divine children of the past.


    Heavenly Dao True Martial, as the name suggested, it was a powerful martial art created by borrowing the power of Heavenly Dao.


    The power was simply unimaginable!


    The divine race looked down on all races, what they relied on was also precisely Heavenly Dao True Martial!


    Once Heavenly Dao True Martial was exhibited, it could break through the limits of one��s body, reaching the level of Dao.


    Furthermore, one was only qualified to comprehend Heavenly Dao True Martial after reaching Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm as well.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan battled divine son Xin, if the other party had comprehended a Heavenly Dao True Martial, Ye Yuan absolutely would not have won that easily.


    ��W-What powerful strength! The power of the fleshy body can actually reach such a terrifying extent?��


    ��I finally understand why Lord Profound Secrets they all are so wary of the divine race!��


    ��Turns out that we never encountered the divine race��s true powerhouses! Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm is when they are truly terrifying!��


    �� ��


    On the human army��s side, the faces of the group of unpredictable children turned ashen, being deeply shocked by Yuan Zhen��s might.


    Only at this time did they understand what right the divine race had to dominate the Heavenspan World!


    Who could block this level of power?


    This was still just an initial-stage Nine-marks powerhouse. Once a peak Nine-marks powerhouse executed Heavenly Dao True Martial, what kind of degree would that strength soar to?


    Today, under Ye Yuan��s compulsion, they finally witnessed the true divine race!


    Heavenly Dao True Martial, this name that was unfamiliar but also incomparably powerful to the human race, appeared on the stage of history.


    Even Ye Yuan��s expression became incomparably serious too when he saw Celestial Avatar this move.


    It was also his first time witnessing the divine race��s true power.


    It was impossible for his perfect nine transformations golden body to reach such terrifying power too.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Martial is it? Just what kind of terrifying battle did Shang Hang they all experience back then?�� Ye Yuan could not help as he said with a rueful sigh.


    Ye Yuan had always heard that the divine race was strong, but in his eyes, the divine race was merely so-so.


    Shang Hang as the Grand Ancestor Spacetime, he comprehended space and time, two great supreme laws. His combat power was extremely terrifying.


    Even if the other grand ancestors�� strength was not as good as Shang Hang��s, they were definitely extremely terrifying too.


    But 18 grand ancestors, there was actually not a single one who survived.


    It was not just that. Among the Fifth Blight and Fourth Blight powerhouses back then, less than one in ten was still alive.


    What right did the divine race have?


    Today, he finally understood!


    A puny little Yuan Zhen was so terrifying after using Heavenly Dao True Martial, then what about Tian Qing?


    Ye Yuan swallowed a medicinal pill, stared at Yuan Zhen, and said with surging fighting intent, ��Heavenly Dao True Martial, is it? Then I��ll take a look at how strong the divine race��s true combat strength is!��


    ��Hahaha, you��ll experience it very soon! My divine race is invincible in the world!��


    Yuan Zhen gave a loud laugh, waved his enormous arm, and smashed a fist over!


    An unremarkable punch, without any flashiness.


    But this punch gave people a feeling of obliterating heaven and decimating the earth.


    Without the slightest sound of a tear through the air, no earth-shattering explosions.


    It was as if everything reached the boundary of returning to one��s original simplicity.


    Although it was plain, no one felt that this punch was not strong.


    When the two came to blows, it would be an earth-shattering moment!


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. The True Nirvana Sword Formation suddenly lit up.


    This time, he did not hold back at all, urging the True Nirvana Sword Formation to the limit.


    Boom!


    One strike, the True Nirvana Sword Formation collapsed and dissipated with a loud bang. Ye Yuan��s figure flew out backward, fresh blood hurling wildly from his mouth, already adding injuries on top of injuries.


    Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm plus Heavenly Dao True Martial, the power was formidably strong!


    Since Ye Yuan created the True Nirvana Sword Formation, he had virtually yet to taste a single defeat,


    But today, he lost!


    The giant Yuan Zhen was high up in the air proudly as if he was really a celestial deity who represented Heavenly Dao.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Martial, what it represents is the power of Heavenly Dao, towering above laws! Time law is fine, spatial law too, they can all be ignored! Young man, being able to receive my Heavenly Dao True Martial��s one punch and not die, you��re really very strong! If you can reach Deva Realm, probably even I won��t be a match too! Therefore, you must die today!��


    Done talking, he turned to Tian Zhao and Li Qing, and said, ��Attack together! Kill him, and don��t give him any chance!��


    In front of Yuan Zhen, the two of them paled much more in comparison.


    But they were also Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses no matter what. Their strength was naturally extraordinary.


    The three people attacked together, not giving Ye Yuan any chance at all!


    His life and death were hanging by a thread!

 Chapter 2408 - Sword of Spacetime!

    ��How can this be? If Saint Azure dies, wouldn��t our human race��s hope be all shattered?��


    Wan Zhen��s face was full of despair.


    Ye Yuan was the human race��s only hope. If he died, this Doomsday Battle would no longer have any hope.


    He never thought that Nine-marks powerhouses actually still had Heavenly Dao True Martial this kind of heaven-defying martial art.


    But now, facing Yuan Zhen three people��s fatal blow, he felt that he was so powerless.


    Three powerful to the extreme auras rushed toward the already seriously injured Ye Yuan.


    Especially Yuan Zhen, that explosive momentum was almost making this mountain and river crumble apart.


    If his punch landed solidly, there was no possibility of surviving at all.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The three people did not stay at the rear in the slightest, unleashing a wanton bombardment toward Ye Yuan.


    How horrifying was the power of Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm?


    The space that Ye Yuan was standing at, was reduced to fragments.


    Everything there was completely annihilated!


    People were simply unable to imagine what could still survive in the face of such power.


    Everything was over!


    ��Hahaha �� Being able to let me run into this boy today, it��s also my divine race��s destiny that made it so! The myriad races ought to be destroyed and the divine race should prosper!�� Yuan Zhen said with a loud laugh.


    Killing Ye Yuan, he felt incomparably delighted in his heart.


    Such a genius dying at his hands was equivalent to throttling the hope of the rise of the human race.


    As long as there was no longer Grand Ancestor Spacetime that kind of heaven-defying powerhouse who appeared, it was simply impossible for the myriad races to have any hope of victory.


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen is mighty!��


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen is mighty!��


    ��Lord Yuan Zhen is mighty!��


    �� ��


    With Ye Yuan being killed, the divine race��s morale was greatly boosted, and the human army��s morale was greatly reduced.


    For some time, the two armies�� battle situation was greatly reversed.


    The humans�� casualties started to grow bigger and bigger.


    Yuan Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Nineorigin, dispose these trash as soon as possible! This army should be the human race��s elite division, each person��s law comprehensions are all very high! Don��t let a single one of these people get away!��


    Nineorigin was overjoyed and said, ��Yes, Lord Yuan Zhen!��


    Although he knew that this army was not ordinary, Yuan Zhen, this level of powerhouse, was disdainful to take action against them at all.


    Yuan Zhen patted his hands and said coolly, ��Alright. Now that this is done, we still have other things to do and will leave first. This place will be left to you!��


    As he was speaking, all of them were about to leave.


    ��The battle isn��t over yet and you��re leaving now?��


    But right then, inside the shattered void, a voice suddenly came out.


    Everyone��s expression changed.


    It was impossible for the voice emitting from there to be someone else, it could only be Ye Yuan!


    He actually did not die?


    Everyone followed the voice and looked over, only to see a figure slowly walking over.


    When the human army saw Ye Yuan, they were immediately wildly ecstatic.


    ��Hahaha, didn��t die! Lord Saint Azure didn��t die!��


    ��With him around, we have hope!��


    �� ��


    Each step that he took, the imposing momentum on his body grew a fraction stronger!


    Heaven and earth spiritual energy that blotted out the skies and covered the earth engulfed everything and swept over.


    Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum rose steadily up, getting stronger and stronger.


    Over the years, Ye Yuan��s comprehension of laws became more and more unfathomable.


    But he did not deliberately cultivate his cultivation realm.


    Now, his rich accumulations erupted. Under Yuan Zhen three people��s stimulation, he broke through once more!


    When Yuan Zhen saw this scene, his expression could not help changing wildly and he said in a solemn voice, ��How is that possible? Under that kind of situation, even the human race��s Deva Second Blight would have been killed by me too! You actually didn��t die?!��


    As Ye Yuan broke through his realm, he said nonchalantly, ��Heavenly Dao True Martial is indeed powerful, but you probably have some misunderstanding about one thing. You all are only borrowing the power of Heavenly Dao, and are not the Heavenly Dao that towers above all life! In front of Heavenly Dao, you all are still just ants. Space and time laws are similarly a party of Heavenly Dao! The human race and the divine race, it��s just that the cultivation system is different. There��s no distinction between lowliness and nobleness. But you regard yourself as infallible and feel that you can ignore spacetime law? What a joke!��


    Yuan Zhen��s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Humph! The divine race is paramount and represents Heavenly Dao. How can it be understandable by you, this sort of ant? Since you��re not dead, then I��ll just kill you again!��


    As he said, the moment his aura released, he rushed up once more.


    The oppressive power erupted again!


    Ye Yuan was firm as a rock, still walking forward slowly. It was just that his right hand reached out and he said coolly, ��Come, sword!��


    In an instant, countless light dots condensed from all directions, finally condensing to become a pale-yellow light sword.


    This sword actually gave people a feeling of wispy and etherealness.


    But Yuan Zhen paid no attention to it. Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was not complete yet. So how could a single sword of source do anything to him?


    This punch still burst out!


    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan formed a seal with his hand, the light sword tore through the air.


    This sword came mistily.


    At first, Yuan Zhen did not care at all, and actually planned on extending his hand to go and grab the light sword!


    With his current bodily strength, he could crush ordinary Dao artifacts too!


    But very soon, his expression changed wildly.


    The sword had yet to arrive and the sharp sword energy already made him unable to open his eyes.


    The sharpness of this sword seemed to be able to sever heaven and earth.


    At this time, how could he still care about killing Ye Yuan? He forcefully twisted his body in the air, wanting to avoid this sword.


    People should not look at how his body was extremely huge. Actually, his movements were unbelievably agile.


    His body made a strange twist, the light sword brushed past his body.


    A few strands of hair floated down, already chopped off by the sword energy.


    Yuan Zhen��s heart shook wildly. Just now, just a bit more and he would have been decapitated!


    This sword was too sharp!


    How could this sword be so sharp?


    Ordinary swords, he would not pay attention to them at all.


    Even if it was a sword of source, he could wrestle it with his bare hands too.


    But that sword earlier, it had clearly already exceeded the scope of source swords.


    He did not doubt in the slightest that if he went to grab it with his bare hands, it would definitely have been sliced in half!


    How could this be?


    He had fought with Ye Yuan��s True Nirvana Sword Formation previously and did not have misgivings about Ye Yuan��s swords at all.


    But now, just a condensed light sword was actually so sharp!


    ��This �� How is this possible? Just what the hell is this sword?�� Yuan Zhen said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Didn��t you say that Heavenly Dao True Martial can ignore laws? Thanks to you, I fused time, space, sword, three great sources, and comprehended this move, Sword of Spacetime! You can give it a try whether you can ignore it or not!��


    ��What did you say? You �� fused time, space, sword, three great laws?�� Yuan Zhen somewhat doubted whether he heard wrongly or not.


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s hearts shook wildly.


    Fusing time, space, and sword, three great source laws, could this sort of thing really be what human strength could accomplish?


    Fusing the power of laws was originally an extremely difficult thing.


    Furthermore, the higher the level of laws, the greater the difficulty of fusion.


    The fusion of space and time, two great laws, could be said to be the most difficult fusion in this world!


    But fusing time, space, and sword, three great laws, this difficulty was simply unable to use words to describe.


    If one had to insist on using words to describe it, then there was only one word ��- impossible!


    But Ye Yuan actually did it!


    True Nirvana Sword Formation was just a move that Ye Yuan created with several great source laws as the foundation, and not a fusion.


    What Ye Yuan truly fused in the past were only spatial law and sword law.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually fused three great laws!

 Chapter 2409 - Eradicating Nine-marks with Ease!

    Sword of Spacetime, it could annihilate spacetime!


    It could even annihilate spacetime; let alone people?


    How could the sharpness of this sword be what human strength could block?


    Even on the humans�� side, each and every one of them, their hearts shook wildly too.


    This sword of source looked not much different from before, but it was actually a terrifying existence that fused three great laws!


    Wan Zhen said in shock, ��The fusion of time and spatial laws is a hundred times harder than fusing the Five Element Laws! Lord Saint Azure��s talent is truly too terrifying!��


    Pang Zhen also said, ��Fusing time and spatial laws, that is nothing. After all, Grand Ancestor Spacetime had once done it before too! But, fusing time, space, and sword, these three great laws, and creating this Sword of Spacetime move, it��s terrifying!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is mighty! No wonder he said, if people don��t force themselves, they really won��t know how great their potential is at times! In this battle, I also gained a lot. After going back, I��ll definitely have breakthroughs!��


    The others nodded one after another, agreeing with this.


    The struggle between life and death was best at stimulating potential.


    Many companions died in this battle.


    But those who survived would benefit endlessly!


    None of those present were mediocre people. Each one was a proud child of heaven.


    After a bout of fierce fighting, they already benefited a lot.


    After going back, as long as they calmed down and tried to digest their gains, they would definitely make huge breakthroughs.


    Of course, no matter how big the breakthrough, it also would not be able to compare to Ye Yuan fusing three great laws!


    Ye Yuan��s aura was still rising, already approaching peak World Realm.


    Yuan Zhen��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He was still mocking Ye Yuan previously, saying that his Heavenly Dao True Martial could ignore spacetime law.


    But now, facing the Sword of Spacetime that was condensed from spacetime law, he was unbelievably fearful!


    This sword was a sword that could cleave his Celestial Avatar in two!


    Its sharpness was already unable to use words to describe.


    ��Still in a daze for what? Attack together! Take advantage of the fact that he hasn��t broken through yet and kill him! Use the Lesser Three Origin Formation!�� Yuan Zhen roared loudly.


    Tian Zhao and Li Qing received the order and formed a horn-shaped formation with Yuan Zhen. The three people��s auras immediately rose significantly.


    This Lesser Three Origin Formation could actually enhance the strength of Nine-marks powerhouses!


    However, when Ye Yuan saw this scene, he laughed.


    ��Looks like your divine race is also advancing with the times! This array formation is quite profound. It��s just that you guys don��t know that I��m the ancestor of this array formation! Forming this array formation in front of me, you guys are displaying your slight skill before an expert!��


    The divine race advocated individual combat power and did not have much awareness of group combat.


    But now, when the divine race came into being again, they changed a lot.


    This Divine Children Legion��s fighting will was powerhouse, their warriors cooperated with each other tacitly. They had clearly undergone strict training.


    While Yuan Zhen, this kind of Nine-marks major power, could actually use this Lesser Three Origin Formation to this level, it also made people��s jaws drop.


    Clearly, they had grasped the lesson of the last defeat in the Doomsday Battle. They learned a lot from the myriad races.


    This Lesser Three Origin Formation was one of them!


    But the reason why Ye Yuan laughed was that he saw too many of his own Formation Dao signs in this Lesser Three Origin Formation!


    The 18 inheritance grand arrays that he left behind had the inheritance of Formation Dao.


    This Lesser Three Origin Formation of the divine race, although it was very advanced, it was clearly secretly learned from the humans.


    Ye Yuan saw it clearly at a glance.


    It was just that how could Yuan Zhen they all know that the existence who influenced the direction of the Doomsday Battle an epoch ago was precisely this young man in front of them!


    And the things that they secretly learned had also evolved from precisely the inheritances that Ye Yuan left behind.


    ��Heh heh, truly a shameless boasting fellow! The Lesser Three Origin Formation was created by my divine race��s Formation Path Master, Fei Liu, what has it got to do with you? To talk about ancestors, Master Fei Liu being your ancestor is adequate!�� Yuan Zhen could not help saying with a cold laugh when he heard that.


    Ye Yuan did not answer, he just smiled faintly, lifted his fingertip, and said, ��Sword of Spacetime, go!��


    Whoosh!


    Without any sound of tearing across the air, the Sword of Spacetime was sent out once again.


    In a blink, the Sword of Spacetime crossed a distance of 100 thousand feet and slashed accurately somewhere between the three people.


    Boom!


    The Lesser Three Origin Formation collapsed instantly!


    The three people��s skyrocketed aura also instantly dissipated without a trace, recovering to their previous state once again.


    Yuan Zhen��s eyes became wide-saucers, a look of disbelief on his face.


    In this epoch, Master Fei Liu studied the human race��s Formation Dao, and he had long already reached the level of rank five source!


    Even if Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao reached rank two Formation Dao, it was also impossible to crack the Lesser Three Origin Formation with one move, right?


    This Lesser Three Origin Formation was created by Master Fei Liu painstakingly.


    With three people as a small combat unit, it could greatly enhance the combat power of the divine race.


    To a powerhouse at the level of Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, once they joined forces, then the combat power would definitely soar.


    Originally, their combat power was several times higher than that of humans.


    Once the Lesser Three Origin Formation was activated, the three of them working together, even if there were 20 human powerhouses, it would likely be hard to get close to.


    But such an array formation was actually cracked by Ye Yuan in a blink of an eye.


    This kind of thing was simply puzzling.


    They did not understand the hidden meaning in Ye Yuan��s words at all.


    They did not understand, but Wan Zhen and the rest were perfectly clear!


    The divine race secretly learned the human race��s Formation Dao but did not know that the human race��s terrifying Formation Dao later on, came entirely from Ye Yuan��s legacy.


    Although the things that the human race��s Grand Ancestor Formation Dao comprehended later on were already very different from Ye Yuan��s, in terms of the source, they came from the same root.


    Using the array formation that Ye Yuan passed down in front of Ye Yuan, wasn��t this teaching one��s grandmother how to suck eggs?


    And this scene also made Wan Zhen, Pang Zhen, and the rest, admire Ye Yuan even more.


    Lord Saint Azure��s influence on these ten billion years was seriously too far-reaching!


    The Formation Dao legacy that he left behind was secretly learned by the divine race!


    The Alchemy Dao legacy that he left behind was feared by the divine race!


    The spacetime legacy that he left behind exiled Progenitor Tian Qing in the turbulent flow of time and space for ten billion years!


    This kind of might already transmigrated time and space. It was too fantastical!


    ��Sword of Spacetime, kill!��


    Just as everyone was shocked, Ye Yuan controlled the Sword of Spacetime again, charging over towards Tian Zhao.


    This sword was swift to the extreme.


    Tian Zhao��s expression changed wildly, wanting to avoid it madly.


    But, this sword already locked onto him, not giving him any chance to evade at all.


    He was not Yuan Zhen who could control a powerful physical body to avoid the Sword of Spacetime.


    Compared to Yuan Zhen, he was too weak!


    Puchi!


    Under the one sword, Tian Zhao was beheaded!


    A Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse died just like this!


    Everyone started dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape, looking at this scene in incredible shock.


    A powerful Nine-marks powerhouse was killed by a Heavenly Emperor Realm human just like that?


    The Divine Children Legion��s warriors felt like their world views had been subverted.


    Nine-marks powerhouses had unparalleled combat power, one was actually leap-frogged and killed by a human!


    How could this kind of thing possibly happen?


    ��L-Lord Tian Zhao died just like this?��


    ��That human, he killed a Nine-marks powerhouse while breaking through his cultivation realm!��


    ��When did humans become so monstrous? Could it be that our divine race isn��t the strongest?��


    �� ��


    Many people started doubting life.


    The morale that the Divine Children Legion had just roused up earlier was immediately suppressed.

 Chapter 2410 - Give You Ten Breaths!

    ��Sword of Spacetime, go!��


    While everyone was still shocked, Ye Yuan struck again with a sword.


    But this time, the target locked onto Li Qing!


    Yuan Zhen��s expression changed wildly, having the mind to save, but could not muster up the courage.


    What would he use to save?


    Li Qing felt that every hair on his body was standing up. He did not have time to think too much, turning tail and running.


    Except, the Sword of Spacetime was too fast, how could it give him the chance to flee?


    Swish!


    The light sword flashed past lightly, Li Qing was similarly decapitated.


    Yuan Zhen saw it clearly, the cuts on Li Qing and Tian Zhao��s wounds were extremely flat, not even a trace of blood flowed out.


    As if that place was sealed by some kind of mysterious power.


    He understood that this wound was blocked off by the power of spacetime, and would never heal.


    This kind of murdering method was far more terrifying than a blade wound.


    If Ye Yuan were to chop at a vital spot, it would directly kill.


    If it sliced his finger previously, then his finger would never be able to grow out anymore.


    Thinking up to here, Yuan Zhen finally gave rise to the thought of withdrawing.


    Staying here was just waiting for death!


    When the Divine Children Legion��s warriors saw this scene, each of them was dumbfounded with shock.


    Ye Yuan killed two great Nine-marks powerhouses as if chopping vegetables!


    When did Nine-marks powerhouses become so weak?


    No, wait. It was not that Nine-marks powerhouses were weak, but that Ye Yuan was too strong!


    Fusing three great power of laws, this sword move could virtually cut everything in the world!


    Just as everyone was in a state of disbelief, Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum suddenly withdrew, his realm being fixed at peak World Realm!


    He looked towards Yuan Zhen with a slight smile and said coolly, ��Don��t your divine race call yourselves the messengers of Heavenly Dao, looking down on myriad races? Now, I��m going to jump realms and kill you! Give you ten breaths, whether or not you can escape will depend on your ability.��


    Then, he took out a bow and arrow unhurriedly.


    Limitless God Killing Bow!


    A surging power of Great Dao assaulted everyone��s minds.


    In the past, Ye Yuan��s realm was lacking and could not unleash the true power of a Dao artifact at all.


    Now, even though he did not reach Deva Realm yet, he already had strength comparable to Deva Realm.


    When he used the Limitless God Killing Bow again, the power long already could not be mentioned in the same breath!


    The power of a Dao artifact coupled with the Sword of Spacetime, it was simply ever-victorious!


    Seeing the Limitless God Killing Bow, Yuan Zhen��s pair of huge eyes almost popped out.


    The threat of death hit him head-on!


    Flee or not to flee?


    This was a difficult problem!


    If he fled, Ye Yuan��s words were too impudent. Where would his face as a divine child go?


    Not fleeing, the power of a Dao artifact plus the Sword of Spacetime, he would be simply powerless to resist it.


    Even if he used Heavenly Dao True Martial!


    This was really a huge irony!


    Ye Yuan actually said this kind of words to a Nine-marks divine son with Heavenly Emperor Realm.


    And he was actually still hesitating!


    But Wan Zhen and the rest had their faces flush red.


    This kind of heroic feeling really made people��s hot blood burn with righteous indignation!


    Ye Yuan��s sentence completely recovered their lost confidence!


    Before this, they were really wrecked by the divine children army.


    The Divine Children Legion��s might completely exceeded their imagination.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they completely would not have been able to imagine what this battle would have been like.


    ��Hahaha �� Awesome! So what if they are of the divine race?��


    ��As long as our power of laws reaches a certain realm, we can similarly look down on you!��


    ��That lord Nine-marks, are you fighting or running?��


    �� ��


    On the humans�� side, came endless ridiculing voices.


    Yuan Zhen kept harping that they were trash, ants, they were long already unhappy.


    But the strength that Yuan Zhen exhibited previously was too strong, making them not have the chance to say anything at all.


    But now, it was different.


    Ye Yuan saying this kind of word with the realm of Heavenly Emperor was really too satisfying and delightful!


    Listening to the taunting coming from over there, Yuan Zhen��s face became gloomy to the extreme.


    But on this side, Ye Yuan could not be bothered with his reaction, and he already started counting down.


    ��Ten!��


    ��Nine!��


    ��Eight!��


    �� ��


    Each count was like a death-hastening curse, striking on Yuan Zhen��s heart.


    Finally, when it counted down to seven, he could not stand it anymore and ran wildly!


    Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm coupled with Heavenly Dao True Martial, how fast was the speed?


    In virtually an instant, Yuan Zhen��s figure disappeared.


    It was as if Ye Yuan did not see it, still counting down.


    ��Six!��


    ��Five!��


    �� ��


    His voice spread extremely far, no matter where Yuan Zhen ran to, it could reach his ears accurately.


    The laws of time and space were no joke.


    This kind of method to transmit one��s voice through space was not considered very high-level.


    But when Yuan Zhen listened to it, it was totally not the case.


    These continuous countdowns were like claps of thunder, sounding out in his ears.


    Over these countless years, how many tens of millions of life-and-death battles had he experienced before?


    But not once did he feel so hopeless like now before.


    At this time, he wished that his parents had given him two more feet, so that he could run a little faster.


    He urged his physical body to the limit, trying to run a little faster.


    In reality, he ran fast enough too.


    But, he still felt that it was not fast enough!


    ��Three!��


    ��Two!��


    ��One!��


    When he heard ��one��, Yuan Zhen had already escaped no idea how far away from Ye Yuan.


    But these words still exploded in his ears!


    Then, he felt a terrifying aura erupt behind him.


    This aura drew closer and closer, and increasingly stronger!


    He desperately wanted to increase his speed, but that aura was still continuously closing in.


    Then, that aura disappeared.


    He discovered that he was still fine!


    ��Hahaha �� I escaped! I escaped! Brat, scaring me is it? How can I, Yuan Zhen, die that easily?��


    He could not resist turning his head to take a look.


    All of a sudden, he froze.


    When he turned back, he saw his lower body!


    His body below his neck was already separated from his head!


    ��I �� I died?��


    Then, his consciousness slowly became blurry.


    This sword was too fast, he did not feel pain at all and was already beheaded.


    Normally, this sword was not sufficient to be fatal.


    But, spacetime law seemed to isolate everything, cutting off all connections between his upper body and lower body.


    His life force was rapidly dissipating.


    Finally, it disappeared.


    Ye Yuan slowly retracted his bow. That appearance was like he had done something insignificant.


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    The powerful Heavenly Dao True Martial was actually defeated!


    Seven breaths of time were enough for Yuan Zhen to flee a distance of several tens of millions of miles.


    But Ye Yuan killed him with just one sword!


    Suffocatingly strong!


    The divine race never feared the human race.


    They were proud and arrogant!


    Even if they lost the Doomsday Battle to the humans, they also would not feel that they were worse than humans.


    But today, they felt terrified facing Ye Yuan!


    This human��s might already exceeded their understanding.


    Ye Yuan put away the Limitless God Killing Bow. Looking at the Divine Children Legion which covered the sky, he said coolly toward Wan Zhen and the others, ��Stop looking, continue!��


    ��Kill!��


    The Divine Children Legion was still in a daze when Wan Zhen and the others already roared loudly and charged over.

 Chapter 2411 - Fooled!

    With the divine son dying, the morale of the troops was lost. How could the Divine Children Legion still be the human army��s match?


    They finally could not hold out but to collapse.


    A rout was like a landslide, the Divine Children Legion fell into utter disarray very quickly, their combat effectiveness plummeting.


    On the contrary, the human army��s side, being inspired by Ye Yuan, each and every one of them erupted with powerful strength, completely overwhelming the Divine Children Legion.


    The Divine Children Legion scattered in all directions, running all over the sky. No one knew how many had died.


    The powerful Divine Children Legion collapsed like a house of cards at this moment.


    In the huge fleeing army, Nineorigin was mixed inside, trying to smoke his way through.


    Just as he was chuckling to himself, thinking that Ye Yuan did not notice him.


    There was suddenly a blur before his eyes, a figure was already blocking in front of him.


    ��Old friends meeting, not even saying hello; it��s also too much, right?��


    Ye Yuan��s voice was very flat, but the indifference exuding from it made Nineorigin terrified.


    He sensed killing intent!


    ��You �� What do you want?�� Nineorigin took several steps back in a row, his complexion deathly pale and his words full of fear.


    ��What do I want? Huhu, my Lord Nineorigin, don��t you know what I want? Back then, when you took Li-er away from me, you probably didn��t think that there would be such a day, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Yeah, the Nineorigin back then showed disdain on the world. Why would he pay attention to a puny little Empyrean Realm?


    Even if he was seriously injured, he did not think that Ye Yuan would be of any threat anymore either.


    But circumstances change with the passing of time When Ye Yuan was standing in front of him again, he actually fused three great laws, and he slew a divine son with one sword.


    He was already completely reduced to an ant in front of Ye Yuan.


    When someone who once looked up to you stood in front of you again, but you were looking up to him, this kind of taste was really sour.


    Mentioning Li-er, Nineorigin seemed to have grasped a final life-saving straw. He said, ��Ye Yuan, you dare to kill me? Don��t you want to know what happened to Yue Mengli? Let me tell you, if I die, she��ll have to die too!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, indeed somewhat cautious in taking action.


    Ninelives was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot. He said, ��Let me tell you, Yue Mengli has been refusing to become a divine daughter. Now, she��s locked up in the Profound Lineage��s prison. It was me who kept persuading the ancestors in the clan to keep her life. If I die, she��ll definitely die without a doubt!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed when he heard that, a look of worry appearing on his face.


    These few years, he had constantly been worried about Li-er��s safety. But with his current strength, he had no way of going to the divine race��s territory at all.


    Now, seeing Nineorigin, this was probably the only channel to inquire about Li-er��s news.


    ��Tell me, how is Li-er now?�� Ye Yuan said in a deep voice.


    Ninelives smiled coldly and said, ��You know Yue Mengli��s temperament best. She has been refusing to become a divine daughter all along! Her personality is too stubborn and can��t be persuaded no matter what. There was even a big quarrel over this before. The ancestors in the clan were enraged and wanted to sentence her to death! However, her talent is indeed high, I also used this as the reason and kept persuading the clan. That��s how I saved her life! Now, she��s being locked up in the clan��s prison. If I die, she��ll definitely be sentenced to death by the elders in the clan within half a year!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Just the likes of you have such a big influence in the clan?��


    Nineorigin laughed loudly and said, ��I can��t, but that doesn��t mean that my father can��t! My father is a middle-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouse. He still has quite the authority to speak in the clan!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, a hint of worry flashed across in his eyes.


    As the saying went, losing yourself in concern. Even if Ye Yuan had a meticulous mind, he was also somewhat having reservation currently.


    Nineorigin ignored Ye Yuan��s obstruction, directly walking past him, and said with a faint smile, ��How about it? I��m going now. Do you still want to stop?��


    Done talking, he left with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan did not stop and actually allowed him to go freely.


    Nineorigin walked very steadily as if he did not care about Ye Yuan��s attitude in the slightest.


    But, after he left the battlefield, he ran as if he was mad.


    What he said earlier, not a single word was true. They were all lies made up on the spot in order to live.


    He knew that Ye Yuan valued Yue Mengli immensely. Hearing the news that Yue Mengli��s life was hanging by a thread, he absolutely would not make things difficult for him.


    In reality, Yue Mengli had long already become a divine daughter!


    Furthermore, Yue Mengli��s present strength already reached the realm of Nine-marks!


    The speed of progress was simply inconceivable!


    But he similarly knew that Ye Yuan was extremely clever. The lie definitely would be found out soon.


    After Ye Yuan calmed down, he would definitely be able to detect the fishiness.


    Hence, he had to flee for his life right now!


    The current Ye Yuan was too terrifying, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.


    Even staying for a fraction of a second more was playing with his life too!


    There was a divine race camp roughly three days west of Upper Essence Valley. There were quite a number of Nine-marks experts there!


    This place was his only chance of life!


    As long as he escaped here, he would be able to escape with his life!


    After Nineorigin left, Ye Yuan felt very irritated in his heart. Hence, he went on a killing spree!


    His current cultivation realm already reached peak World Realm and he even fused time, space, and sword, three kinds of power of laws, his strength terrifying to the extreme.


    The Divine Children Legion��s warriors had long already fallen into utter disarray. How could they be his match?


    Ye Yuan brought the human army and carried out a blood massacre before stopping.


    In this battle, the Divine Children Legion had close to three-quarters die, virtually being wiped out.


    This scale of Divine Children Legion already existed in name only.


    This was absolutely a tremendous blow to the divine race.


    Two days later, Ye Yuan gathered the army and counted the numbers. He discovered that the human army also had nearly 40% lost. The army of over 100 thousand was only left with less than 70 thousand at this time.


    One could say that it was a pyrrhic victory.


    But these unpredictable children had experienced the baptism of war, each person��s mental outlook underwent massive changes.


    The impact of this battle on them was extremely far-reaching.


    Although the numbers fell, the combat power of this army grew even stronger.


    However, Ye Yuan��s thoughts were not on this.


    Having ceased all activities at this time, he kept feeling that something was off.


    But, he could not put his finger to it either.


    ��Wan Zhen, order the army to enter Upper Essence Valley and search for the Dragon Clan��s remnants!�� Ye Yuan commanded.


    ��Yes, Lord Saint Azure!��


    After this battle, they already prostrated on all fours toward Ye Yuan in admiration.


    The title of Saint Azure was absolutely not an undeserved reputation.


    This kind of monstrous comprehension ability simply made people despair.


    Of course, this was the opponent��s despair, and also the hope of the human race.


    But right then, Ye Yuan��s footsteps suddenly stopped, the expression on his face becoming incredibly ugly.


    ��What��s wrong, Lord Saint Azure?�� Wan Zhen asked in confusion.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was livid and he said with a cold smile, ��Heh, didn��t expect that I, Ye Yuan, would actually have times when I get fooled by someone! Nineorigin, I really underestimated you! However, do you really think that you can escape?��


    The current Ye Yuan finally came to a realization.


    Li-er��s personality being unwavering, Nineorigin did not know about it until later.


    When they kidnapped Li-er into the Blackflame Cave, she was already extremely resistant to becoming a divine daughter.


    With Nineorigin��s shrewdness, how could he fail to see Li-er��s personality that would rather break than bend?


    If the divine race did not have the means to turn Li-er into a divine daughter, then why would Nineorigin expend such a great effort to get Li-er back to the Abyss World?

 Chapter 2412 - If I Don’t Let You Shout, You Won’t Be Able to Yell Out a Single Word!

    After running long-distance for three days and nights, Nineorigin was very tired.


    He felt like as soon as he stopped, he would fall asleep at once!


    To a peak Eight-marks powerhouse, three days and three nights on the road was nothing.


    There was only one reason for his exhaustion!


    During these three days, he exhausted all of his strength.


    He did not know how fast Ye Yuan was, but he knew that Ye Yuan was definitely very fast.


    Therefore, he could only flee desperately.


    Heaven took pity on him, he finally saw the outline of the camp.


    As long as he returned to the camp, even if Ye Yuan had exceedingly formidable abilities, he would not be able to do anything to him either.


    Ye Yuan could kill the Yuan Zhen who just entered Nine-marks with one sword, but it was absolutely impossible to beat so many Nine-marks experts in the camp.


    ��Damn it, after going back this time, I have to report to the clan elders to have them mobilize middle and late-stage Nine-marks supreme powerhouses, and kill Ye Yuan at all costs! This guy is seriously too terrifying!��


    Recalling Ye Yuan fusing three great laws, Nineorigin still had lingering fear in his heart until now.


    Being able to jump realms and kill the divine race��s divine child, this kind of means was really too sick!


    If Ye Yuan reached Deva Fourth or Fifth Blight, who else in the entire divine race could be his match?


    At that time, probably even Progenitor Tian Qing might not be his match too!


    ��Who��s there?��


    At this time, two figures rose up from the camp, questioning Nineorigin.


    When Nineorigin saw these two people, he could not help crying with joy.


    After three days and nights of suffering, he finally escaped with his life!


    ��It��s me, Nineorigin!�� Nineorigin said in a clear voice.


    When those two people heard Nineorigin speaking, they immediately lowered their vigilance. But they still asked in surprise, ��Nineorigin, why did you return to the camp alone? Isn��t your Divine Children Legion ambushing the myriad races�� coalition forces in Upper Essence Valley?��


    Nineorigin was one of the army��s commanders. Leaving his post without authorization was a major thing. They naturally did not dare to be sloppy about it.


    Nineorigin was still fleeing towards this side in a hurry. Even if he was already so near the camp, he still did not dare to relax.


    As he sprinted, Nineorigin shouted, ��The Divine Children Legion has lost more than half in terms of casualties. They are fleeing everywhere in disorder now, Chief Commander Tian Xu died in battle! Yuan Zhen, Tian Zhao, Li Qing, the three lords died in battle! Kong Ru, don��t stop me. I have an important matter to report to Lord Daymeld!��


    Daymeld was precisely that one who Ye Yuan encountered at the Asura Blood Pool back then.


    Now, his strength already fully recovered, and he returned to the clan. He became a commander of the divine race army!


    However, he was not in his camp but in the base camp of the divine race.


    Nineorigin wanted to report to him, but he had to rely on this camp��s powerhouses.


    Otherwise, he did not dare to leave by himself at all.


    Nineorigin was already scared out of his wits by Ye Yuan.


    While the two opposite were struck dumb with amazement by the series of news thrown out by Nineorigin.


    No need to guess and they also knew that something big happened!


    Otherwise, why would Nineorigin be in such dismay?


    In virtually a blink of an eye, Nineorigin already rushed above the sky of the camp.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he landed toward the camp.


    He did not even have time to greet Kong Ru two people.


    The moment his feet landed on the ground, Nineorigin��s heart was finally at ease!


    Even if Ye Yuan had exceedingly formidable abilities, he also would not dare to come here and capture him!


    ��Hahaha �� I finally escaped! I finally escaped! Ye Yuan, I, Nineorigin, escaped alive! The next time, it will be the date of your death!��


    Three days and three nights of desperate fleeing, Nineorigin did not dare to relax in the least bit.


    He was afraid that Ye Yuan would find out at any time, and then chase after.


    Now that this nerve was loosened up, he could not resist letting out a burst of wild laughter.


    ��Oh? Is that so? If I capture you from here, would you feel even more despair or not?��


    Right then, a voice seemed to come out from the netherworld, making Nineorigin��s hair stand on end.


    He was too familiar with this voice. It was Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan actually chased into the camp!


    Was he mad?


    Ye Yuan��s figure slowly walked out of the void, having a look of amusement on his face.


    His spatial law already reached the level of rank two source.


    It was really rare for someone to be able to surpass him in movement technique in this world.


    Even if he set off two days later than Nineorigin, he caught up at the eleventh hour too.


    When Kong Ru two people saw Ye Yuan appear, their faces could not help changing wildly.


    Where did this guy who appeared like a ghost pop out from?


    Before this, they were actually completely clueless!


    When Nineorigin saw Ye Yuan, all the hair on his body stood up, and he turned around and ran without thinking.


    He wanted to run in the direction of the camp, that place had the divine race��s major powers!


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of making a move, he just looked at Nineorigin with a sneer.


    ��Lord Yu Qing, help!�� Nineorigin shouted with all the strength in his body, his voice instantly spreading throughout the camp.


    He used the last of his strength, wanting to run towards the camp.


    But he discovered to his shock that even though he used all of his strength, his movements were slow to the extreme.


    His entire person seemed to be in slow motion, running forward.


    His movements were very exaggerated, but he did not even take a single step out.


    Time law!


    Ye Yuan imposed time law on his body!


    There was merely a hundred steps away from the camp currently.


    But Nineorigin who had time law imposed felt like it was far on the horizon!


    When Kong Ru two people saw this scene, their pupils could not help shrinking, looking toward Ye Yuan with a look of horror.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    However, Nineorigin��s yell spread out.


    The entire camp was immediately alarmed.


    Several dozen powerful auras burst out of every corner of the camp in an instant.


    These powerful auras rushed over to this side one after another.


    But Ye Yuan ignored them. He just arrived behind Nineorigin at an appropriate speed and tapped lightly, and he fell to the ground softly.


    Time law vanished, Nineorigin looked at Ye Yuan with the appearance of a lump of mud, his eyes full of despair.


    ��Ye Yuan, you entered the camp to capture me, it��s seeking your own death! Lord Yu Qin is a middle-stage Nine-marks supreme powerhouse! You��re dead for sure!�� Nineorigin said hatefully.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a light chuckle, ��Do you think that you being able to yell out was your own ability?��


    Nineorigin��s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan in horror.


    Could it be that this guy let him yell out on purpose?


    Otherwise, with Ye Yuan��s strength, restraining him then bringing him away in an instant, the people in the camp probably all would not have time to react!


    ��You �� You ���� Nineorigin was shocked until he could not speak.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Do you think that your voice can be faster than time law?�� If I don��t let you shout, you won��t be able to yell out a single word! But I��m magnanimous. I��ll let you shout! Let you alarm these people! Then I��ll take you away in front of them! At that time, will you feel even more in despair?��


    Nineorigin opened his mouth wide, looking at Ye Yuan in shock as he muttered, ��D-Devil! You��re a devil! However, you can��t possibly take me away from Lord Yu Qin��s hands!��


    Right as he was talking, a powerful to the extreme aura arrived in an instant!


    This person��s aura burst through the firmament, and he already reached peak middle-stage Nine-marks!


    A surge of Heavenly Dao power instantly enveloped over toward Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2413 - You All Are Tired Too, Go Back and Rest!

    ��Where did this impudent person come from, to dare act atrociously in my divine race��s territory!�� Yu Qin looked at Ye Yuan and said in rage.


    However, he was also extremely surprised in his heart.


    When did this human youth before his eyes enter the camp?


    With his strength, he actually did not notice it!


    ��You��re Yu Qin? I��m bringing Nineorigin away. Calling you out is just to inform you,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Facing a lofty mountain-like pressure, it was as if Ye Yuan was completely clueless.


    This camp seemed to be like his own backyard.


    When had Yu Qin seen before such an arrogant human? After hearing, he could not help saying in a great rage, ��A tiny human ant dares to be so impudent in front of this progenitor too? Forget about you. Even if your family��s adults are here, they also won��t dare to say this kind of arrogant words! If you have the ability, try bringing him away!��


    The group of Nine-marks powerhouses by the side snickered heavily when they heard that.


    ��Where did this babe pop out from? He doesn��t know how high the sky is, and how thick the earth is, right?��


    ��Did he run to the wrong camp and think that this is the human camp?��


    ��Haha, a Heavenly Emperor Realm little fellow really dares to talk big! If you can take him away, then wouldn��t we become jokes?��


    �� ��


    Although this camp was not the divine race��s top combat strength, their strength was extremely strong too.


    Then a human little fellow ran up to them to posture.


    This kind of thing, even thinking about it felt funny.


    But Ye Yuan ignored everyone ridiculing him. Picking up the Nineorigin who was like mud, he walked slowly out of the camp.


    That appearance showed utter disregard for these super powerhouses.


    When Yu Qin saw this scene, he could not help flying into a great rage.


    When did such a foolish young man emerge in the human race?


    ��Humph! Since you want to seek death, then this progenitor will fulfill your wish!��


    Yu Qin snorted coldly, the imposing aura on his body suddenly erupting.


    Although it did not reach the peak, it was more than enough to annihilate a swathe of heavenly emperors.


    Only to see him strike a palm over, even space was trembling.


    How could the might of a middle-stage Nine-marks be ordinary?


    Boom!


    The place that Ye Yuan was standing at, space shattered.


    His entire person seemed to have been shredded by space, being torn apart into pieces.


    ��Hahaha �� To dare posture in front of this progenitor, this progenitor was wondering how strong you were! After a farce, it��s just a braggart!�� Yu Qin said with a big laugh.


    At this time, a Nine-marks powerhouse next to him suddenly said, ��L-Lord Yu Qin, you look!��


    Yu Qin was taken aback and looked in the direction that he was pointing in, and discovered that Ye Yuan was still carrying Nineorigin, walking outside of the camp.


    Ye Yuan was actually completely unscathed!


    Then what the hell happened just now?


    Yu Qin��s face changed wildly, a look of astonishment on his face, not understanding why this sort of thing would happen.


    Just now, he clearly killed Ye Yuan. Why was he still walking out perfectly fine?


    Even if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life for a long time, his old face flushed red at this time too.


    Just now, he even talked big.


    Who knew that in a twinkle, his face was really slapped by Ye Yuan.


    And this also made him somewhat angry from embarrassment.


    ��Humph! To dare play tricks in front of this progenitor, you��ll die very horribly!��


    Yu Qin gave an angry yell, his aura bursting forth again.


    This time was much more terrifying than just now.


    Even the divine race powerhouses present, each and every one of their faces changed slightly.


    Boom!


    Yu Qin struck a palm over again. The void shattered and debris flew everywhere.


    Ye Yuan was killed once again!


    This time, Yu Qin learned to be smart, he did not mock Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability right away.


    Only after several breaths seeing that Ye Yuan did not appear, he laughed coldly and said: ��Humph! Got some skill! But, provoking this progenitor to my face is the biggest mistake that you��ve made!��


    However, his voice had yet to fade when the void trembled slightly. Ye Yuan��s and Nineorigin��s figures appeared again.


    This time, Ye Yuan had walked even further and was about to walk out of the boundary of the camp soon.


    Yu Qin��s smile instantly turned stiff on his face, only to feel his face burn hotly.


    He already used 70% strength just now. Even ordinary Deva Third Blights would have been smacked to death by his one slap too!


    Hence, that was why he was confident that Ye Yuan was already dead until he could not be any more dead.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan really did not die.


    Originally, it was Ye Yuan posturing.


    But now, it became Ye Yuan posturing and having Yu Qin��s face slapped.


    A dignified peak middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouse actually could not deal with a measly little Heavenly Emperor Realm! It was simply unprecedented humiliation!


    ��Still in a daze for what? Everyone, attack together! This progenitor wants to see if he really has three heads and six arms!��


    Ignoring the humiliation, Yu Qin was also no longer conceited, directly ordering everyone to attack together.


    If he let Ye Yuan walk out in a grand manner today, where would his face go?


    Where would the divine race��s face go?


    At this point, how could everyone still not tell that there was something fishy going on with this human kid?


    Several dozen Nine-marks powerhouses could not be bothered to care about anything else, rushing in like a swarm of hornets one after another.


    This kind of horrifying line-up, even if a bunch of human Deva Realms was here, they would be bombarded into dregs too.


    Only to see one terrifying energy undulation after another, crazily smashing over towards the place where Ye Yuan was standing.


    That place had long already been bombed into ruins.


    More than half of the entire camp was had already been destroyed!


    Under this kind of concentrated attacks, they believed that even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, he would have died utterly too.


    ��Stop!��


    No idea how long they bombarded either before Yu Qin did a hand gesture, making everyone stop.


    That place already became a black hole.


    Spatial storm poured out of the black hole continuously, attempting to engulf everything.


    ��Got to be dead this time, right?��


    ��Have to be! Who can block so many of us joining forces?��


    ��This kid has some skill, but he��s too arrogant, to dare be unbridled in the camp!��


    �� ��


    The group of Nine-marks powerhouses searched for a long time and discovered that they completely could not see Ye Yuan��s figure. Only then did they confirm that Ye Yuan was already dead.


    As for Nineorigin��s life or death, they did not pay attention to it anymore.


    To these Nine-marks big shots, Nineorigin was merely a minor character.


    However, Yu Qin��s face still did not relax.


    The previous failures made him somewhat lacking in confidence.


    He could not tell until now, just what method Ye Yuan used to avoid his attacks.


    At this time now, he was very scared of Ye Yuan jumping out again, carrying Nineorigin and walking outside.


    However, whatever one feared would come.


    The void trembled, two figures walked out of the void. Who were they if not Ye Yuan and Nineorigin?


    It was just that at this time, Ye Yuan already arrived outside of the camp.


    He looked back at Yu Qin and said coolly, ��Busying about for the greater half of the day, you all are tired too, go back and rest! I��ll be bringing Nineorigin away.��


    In Ye Yuan��s hand, Nineorigin��s eyes had a dead gray color.


    Only at this very moment did he know how terrifying Ye Yuan��s strength was.


    Indeed, Ye Yuan was not Yu Qin��s match in a head-on confrontation.


    But, just based on Yu Qin��s strength, he could not kill Ye Yuan at all!


    It was not just Yu Qin. Even if these Nine-marks powerhouses joined forces, they could not do anything to Ye Yuan either.


    Just now, he was brought to a mysterious place by Ye Yuan.


    That place seemed to not have the definition of time and space.


    They evaded the frenzied attacks of Yu Qin and the rest there.

 Chapter 2414 - Must Kill!

    ��Lord Daymeld, what in the world is going on?��


    Just a major thing happening naturally alarmed a chief commander of the divine race, Daymeld.


    At this time, Daymeld was currently observing that area of shattered space. Yu Qin was currently standing beside him with a puzzled expression.


    Until now, he also did not understand how Ye Yuan did it.


    If Ye Yuan brought Nineorigin to flee crazily, this was still a little more explainable.


    But Ye Yuan was too calm!


    Under the siege of a group of Nine-marks experts, he brought Nineorigin away slowly just like that.


    This was really a resounding face-slapping.


    Daymeld paced back and forth at the edge of the shattered space, having a pensive expression on his face.


    Suddenly, he said with a deep gaze, ��What a terrific spacetime illusion! I didn��t expect that after an epoch, a genius who fused time and space laws actually appeared in the human race again! It��s not your fault for being unable to hold this boy behind!��


    Everyone��s expression changed wildly, a look of shock on their faces.


    The information that Lord Daymeld said was seriously too shocking.


    These divine race upper echelons all knew that it was precisely Grand Ancestor Spacetime who cast the art of Spacetime Reversal Chaos back then, exiling Lord Tian Qing to the spacetime turbulence. That was how it resulted in the divine race��s overall defeat.


    That Grand Ancestor Spacetime could be said to be the most terrifying enemy in the history of the divine race!


    Now, Grand Ancestor Spacetime had long since passed away. But who knew that another person who fused time and space, two supreme laws, appeared again?


    How could this news not be shocking?


    ��Lord Daymeld, you mean �� illusion?�� Yu Qin said with an ugly expression.


    Daymeld nodded and said, ��Spacetime illusion. It isn��t any ordinary illusory art. This makes use of the law power of spacetime, making a high-level difficulty martial technique of making spacetime distort. It��s an extremely profound application of spacetime law! You all thought that you killed him, but actually, you merely killed the him in the distortion of time and space. What you all saw isn��t a real person at all! I��ve seen before Progenitor Tian Qing and Grand Ancestor Spacetime��s great battle back then, and more or less I know a little about the prowess of spacetime law.��


    After he mused for a while, he continued, ��This boy��s spacetime law is already evolving towards Grand Ancestor Spacetime��s that kind of level! After he reaches Deva Realm, he��ll be my divine race��s great enemy!��


    Having said that, Daymeld had a solemn look.


    Tian Qing��s battle with Grand Ancestor Spacetime back then was still seemingly before his eyes.


    That kind of terrifying power, even he could not intervene too.


    Those two people were both the most pinnacle existences in this world, nobody could replace them!


    It was just that he did not expect that ten billion years later, another human youth actually fused time and space laws!


    Yu Qin and the rest had shocked faces after listening.


    ��Lord Daymeld, then we cannot let this boy remain alive,�� Yu Qin said.


    Daymeld nodded his head and said, ��You all don��t need to be too worried either. Even if he really grows up, he��s not Progenitor Tian Qing��s match either! Back then, how heaven-defying was Grand Ancestor Spacetime? Wasn��t he also forced into bringing about his own destruction by Ancestor Tian Qing? However, I still need to look into this matter thoroughly and find this boy to avoid future troubles.��


    Hearing this, only then did everyone let out a sigh in relief.


    Right at this time, a group of people flew straight from the distance in a panic.


    When Daymeld and the rest saw, they could not help frowning slightly.


    ��Aren��t you all the Divine Children Legion? How did you end up like this? Where��s Tian Xu?�� Yu Qin said with a frown.


    This group of people was precisely the Divine Children Legion. Many of them were slaughtered by the human army until they fled helter-skelter.


    These remnants of defeated troops were no more than a hundred people. Each person was wounded, looking very miserable and abject.


    These few days, they had been wandering outside all along, fleeing very carefully, fearful of running into the human army.


    It took many days before they escaped back to the camp.


    When the divine child leading them saw Yu Qin, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said sobbingly, ��Lord Yu Qin, we finally saw you! Our �� Our Divine Children Legion has been virtually annihilated!��


    Everyone��s body trembled including Daymeld��s.


    This news had not been transmitted back to the camp yet. When they heard it now, all of them were dumbstruck with shock.


    Even if there was Nineorigin��s incident, Yu Qin also would not have thought that the entire Divine Children Legion was almost wiped out!


    ��What the hell happened, quickly say!�� Yu Qin said in a solemn voice.


    That divine child had a weeping face, recounting the events of the human army��s surprise attack one by one.


    When Daymeld heard that Ye Yuan killed Yuan Zhen and the rest with the Sword of Spacetime, his color finally changed.


    ��What did you say? He �� He fused time, space, and sword, three kinds of power of laws?�� Daymeld questioned.


    Fusing two power of laws and fusing three kinds of power of laws, the concept was totally different.


    Especially that it was even time, space, and sword, these three!


    Once fused, the power was simply unimaginable!


    He was still saying no need to worry just now. But now, he was also not sure in his heart anymore.


    Grand Ancestor Spacetime was extremely monstrous, fusing the two great supreme laws into one.


    But this guy actually fused Sword Dao law inside too, surpassing Grand Ancestor Spacetime.


    If he grew up, how would that do?


    The divine child had a bitter look as he said with a nod, ��Yes! That kid even has a Dao artifact in possession. It��s a very strong bow! He paired the Sword of Spacetime with the Dao artifact, and shot Lord Yuan Zhen to death with one sword!��


    Daymeld��s expression changed wildly and he cried out in surprise, ��What did that bow look like?��


    The divine child was pressured by Daymeld��s powerful aura until he virtually could not breathe.


    But he did not dare to hide it, describing the appearance of the bow while sweating.


    Daymeld��s expression changed again and again. Gnashing his teeth in hatred, he said, ��Limitless �� God Killing Bow! So, it��s him! It��s that kid! I didn��t expect this! I really didn��t expect this! In just less than 2000 years, he had already grown to such a level!��


    For so many years, that figure who cut off his arm was never able to dispel from his mind.


    Condensing heaven and earth sword intent for his one use, and cutting off his arm with a sword.


    That sword back then was truly breathtaking to the extreme.


    But so many years had passed, that young man��s strength already grew to a frightening level.


    Now, he condensed time, space, and sword, three power of laws, coupled with the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    How could this kind of power be what human strength could block?


    Killing a Nine-marks powerhouse at Heavenly Emperor Realm, this was simply too insane!


    Yu Qin and the rest did not know about Daymeld��s thoughts and asked with uncertainty, ��Lord Daymeld, who on earth is this boy?��


    Daymeld��s expression was solemn, and he said in a cold voice, ��He��s the person who cut off this ancestor��s arm when this ancestor escaped from the blood pool back then! At that time, he was merely at the Empyrean Realm. I didn��t expect that in just a few years, his strength actually already grew to such a level! This boy definitely can��t be let to live! No matter how great a price paid, he must be killed!��


    Yu Qin and the rest were shocked when they heard it. They did not expect that the mysterious youth who barged into the divine race camp alone was actually the person who cut off one of Ancestor Daymeld��s arms!


    This guy was really the divine race��s nemesis!


    But hearing that Ye Yuan fused three great laws, they were also aware of the seriousness of the situation.


    If they allowed this boy to continue growing unchecked, he would likely be Ancestor Tian Qing��s life-and-death great enemy!


    They could tell that Daymeld already had the heart to definitely kill Ye Yuan!

    ��But, Your Excellency, this boy��s spacetime law is transcendent. Wanting to keep him behind is too difficult! I think that he won��t be stupid enough to rush to our camp again,�� Yu Qin said with an ugly expression.


    Dealing with Ye Yuan, even he, this peak middle-stage Nine-marks, was useless.


    Unless it was Lord Daymeld personally holding down the fort, only then would there be a possibility of catching him.


    Furthermore, it was also merely just a possibility!


    Daymeld gave a cold laugh and said, ��If he doesn��t come out, we��ll force him out!��


    Yu Qin��s eyes lit up and he said, ��Your Excellency��s meaning is ����


    Daymeld said in a solemn voice, ��Pass down the orders. All armies join forces at Iron Wire Ridge and march toward the Middle Realms!��


    Everyone trembled all over. This move was going to start a full-scale war!

    While on the other side, when the news of crushing the Divine Children Legion was sent back, the entire camp was seething with excitement.


    Actually, before setting off, everyone was not optimistic about this army of young masters.


    Without a doubt, this army that Ye Yuan led, each person��s strength was very strong.


    But each of them was stubborn and unruly, and they also never experienced the cruelty of war.


    This kind of army, the combat effectiveness was actually very limited.


    But no one could have thought that it was precisely this army of young masters that beat the Divine Children Legion which had yet to taste a single defeat and had unparalleled combat power, until they were virtually completely annihilated!


    During this period of time, Ni Xuan��s biggest headache was this Divine Children Legion.


    This legion came and went without a trace. Furthermore, their combat strength was extremely strong, he was completely helpless.


    Who would have expected that the moment Ye Yuan came, he resolved this problem in less than a month��s time!


    He was still rather discontented with Ye Yuan previously. But now, he was really convinced.


    Furthermore, he even heard that Ye Yuan fused time, space, and sword, three great laws, and slew three Nine-marks powerhouses by himself.


    This kind of talent was simply too heaven-defying!


    Although he did not know the origin of Saint Azure, the talent that Ye Yuan displayed was likely the human race��s last hope!


    Regarding this point, he was well-aware in his heart!


    ��Hahaha �� Terrific lad, well done! Got quite the air of an ancestor!��


    Ni Xuan personally went 30 miles out of the camp to welcome the army led by Pang Zhen.


    As soon as they met, Ni Xuan gave Pang Zhen a punch to his chest as he said with a big laugh.


    The general welcoming in person, this was an extremely high standard of courtesy already.


    Pang Zhen was normally serious in speech and manner. But at this time, he felt like he somewhat benefited too and smiled embarrassedly.


    ��This was all Lord Saint Azure��s credit. He practically broke the Divine Children Legion with his power alone. We almost became his burden,�� Pang Zhen said rather embarrassedly.


    ��Hahaha, you kid, have made progress! Not puffed up by success nor dismayed by failure, this is the style of a general!�� Ni Xuan said with a laugh.


    At this time, Ni Xuan was also shocked in his heart.


    Just one battle, this army seemed to have been completely reborn.


    Although the numbers were significantly reduced in this unpredictable army, their mental outlook and aura were already completely different from before.


    One could see that if this army was sent out again, their combat power would inevitably soar!


    ��Just what origins does this Lord Saint Azure have?�� Ni Xuan could not refrain from exclaiming in his heart.


    In the unpredictable army, many people benefited immensely in this battle.


    After they returned, the strength of the vast majority of the people all made a fair degree of progress.


    But very soon, the divine race army made irregular movements.


    Ni Xuan got the battle report that all of the divine race��s armies were already assembled in Iron Wire Ridge, and had clear intentions of advancing.


    Receiving this news, the myriad races coalition forces became disorderly at once.


    In the battles previously, both sides maintained relative restraint. The true experts did not participate in the battles or rarely took part in the fights.


    But this time, the divine race suddenly bore down menacingly, catching everyone by surprise.


    One had to know, the divine race��s Ancestor Tian Qing��s injuries still had not recovered.


    Rashly launching a full-scale war now was an unwise move for both parties.


    At the human camp, the myriad races�� heads were all gathered together.


    ��Are the people of the divine race crazy? Heavenly Dao Samsara hasn��t started yet and they are in a great rush for the decisive battle? Is this going to be an all-or-nothing?�� A stone race major power said rather irritatedly.


    Clearly, the leaders of the coalition forces present were extremely apprehensive of the divine race. They were not willing to fight this battle, especially those smaller races. After the battle, they might get annihilated.


    ��I feel that we still have to avoid the edge! This battle can��t be fought!��


    ��Yes, the divine race is powerful. We can��t go hand-to-hand with them. If we do, we��ll definitely lose!��


    ��I think so too! Our coalition forces better avoid the edge for the time being and retreat and stand on the defensive in the Middle Realms!��


    �� ��


    The various races�� leaders were all not willing to fight to the death.


    Right now, the myriad races still had depth, they would rather retreat than fight to the death.


    The White Tiger Clan��s major power suddenly said, ��Before this, the divine race��s battles have been very restrained. The sudden decisive battle this time is after the unpredictable army defeated the Divine Children Legion, could it be that there��s some connection between the two? Commander Ni, what do you think?��


    If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that this person was precisely the Bai Chen who imparted to him the Heavenly Dragon Mark in the abyss seal back then.


    He was now precisely the White Tiger Clan��s leader!


    Ni Xuan remained silent. Only when he heard Bai Chen ask about it did he slowly say, ��If my conjectures are right, they probably did it to force Lord Saint Azure to show himself!��


    The stone race��s leader laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Commander Ni, are you joking with us? The Saint Azure that you speak of is indeed incredible! But it��s also impossible for the divine race to be in a great rush to have a decisive battle for him alone, right?��


    ��Yeah! No matter how powerful Saint Azure is, he��s also merely Heavenly Emperor Realm! It��s at most a few hundred years before the divine race��s progenitor will come into being. These few centuries, Saint Azure alone can change the battle situation?��


    �� ��


    The myriad races�� leaders all had disdainful looks. They were not that respectful toward a junior.


    Even if it was due to Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� face, they were still very disdainful toward Ye Yuan in their hearts.


    Ni Xuan was very disdainful toward these people��s faces.


    What time was it already, they were still thinking about protecting personal interest and staying out of trouble!


    ��Sorry about this. If I didn��t guess wrongly, the divine race probably decided to start a full-scale war because of me.�� Right at this time, a voice came from outside.


    Following that, a youth in white robes slowly walked in and entered the camp.


    Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    The stone race��s leader was the most scornful. When he saw Ye Yuan, he said with a cold smile, ��What a shameless boasting brat! Don��t think that just because we call you Saint Azure, you can regard yourself as very important! This war will still rely on Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses!��


    When Bai Chen and the rest saw Ye Yuan, they could not help sighing ruefully.


    The little baby back then already grew into a leviathan of a region now!


    By the side, the Dragon Clan��s leader, Long Yi, directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Long Yi pays respect to Lord Progenitor!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Get up. I��ve already brought Xiaochun they all back.��


    Long Yi hurried said, ��It was Long Yi who was incompetent in protecting, making Xiaochun fall into danger! Long Yi deserves death!��


    Ye Yuan was the Dragon Clan��s samsara progenitor. Even a major power like Long Yi was a head lower in front of Ye Yuan too.


    He knew that Long Xiaochun and Ye Yuan were close relatives. That was why he said that.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��No need. Who can stay aloof from the Doomsday Battle? This matter isn��t your fault!��

 Chapter 2416 - Based on That . . . I’m Saint Azure!

    Those present, the leaders of the myriad races opened their mouths wide one after another, looking at this scene in astonishment.


    Long Yi was a top Deva Fifth Blight powerhouse, his strength being unfathomable.


    Among these various races�� major powers, he was absolutely a top existence!


    No one could have thought that he actually extended such solemn respects to a junior!


    What they did not expect even more was that the young Ye Yuan was actually even the Dragon Clan��s samsara progenitor!


    The stone race leader and a few others who spoke coldly just now were frightened until they almost bit their tongues off.


    A few words of cynicism to a junior was no big deal.


    But offending the dragon race��s progenitor with words, that was being enemies with the entire Dragon Clan.


    If they really angered the Dragon Clan, no one would gain anything good out of it.


    One had to know, the Dragon Clan��s strength was a top existence when looking at the myriad races as a whole too.


    Let alone that the eight great supreme demon races had always been of the same breath and branch.


    Sure enough, Long Yi��s eyes turned dark and he said, ��Shi Potian slighted Samsara Progenitor with his words. It��s a provocation towards our Dragon Clan! If Progenitor feels that it was inappropriate, the Dragon Clan will wage war with the stone race right now!��


    These words were said with decisiveness that could chop iron, making the powerhouses present involuntarily feel a chill.


    They could tell that Long Yi was not joking, and he was not fawning on Ye Yuan.


    As long as Ye Yuan said a word, he would really go to war!


    Shi Potian had an awkward look and hurriedly said, ��Brother Long Yi, just now �� just now, this Shi didn��t know Lord Progenitor��s identity and didn��t have the intention.��


    Long Yi smiled coldly and said, ��Whether you did it on purpose or unintentionally, offending Progenitor is a fact!��


    Just as Shi Potian was in a dilemma, Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Forget it, it��s no big deal. The plan now is still placing priority on uniting!��


    He looked towards Shi Potian and said coolly, ��Didn��t you wanted to know why the divine race dispatched a massive force? Let me tell you, I went to the divine race��s Grant Bright Mountain Camp, and I captured someone back.��


    ��What?! You went to Grant Bright Mountain Camp? A-Alone?��


    ��Grant Bright Mountain Camp has several dozen Nine-marks powerhouses garrisoning! Even if a Deva Third Blight went, there��s no return too!��


    ��Lord Progenitor, you �� you��re joking, right?��


    �� ��


    The moment these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar!


    Ye Yuan rushing into the enemy camp alone and abducted someone away from under the eyelids of countless experts.


    This sort of thing, no one would believe no matter what.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, ��Don��t ask me whether it��s real or fake. I can��t prove it to you. If you really want to know, you can go ask Yu Qin on the battlefield, I think that he will tell you guys.��


    The group of progenitors exchanged glances, the gazes that at Ye Yuan were full of suspicion.


    Even Long Yi, Ni Xuan, and the rest were dumbstruck with shock when they heard this.


    Just as everyone was shocked, Bai Chen suddenly said, ��Although this sounds fantastical, looking back at it, doesn��t this answer precisely the reason why the divine race launched a full-scale war? I think that in Daymeld��s eyes, the importance of Lord Progenitor has already surpassed the war itself! What they are afraid of isn��t us, but someone who can become Tian Qing��s opponent appearing!��


    Everyone was speechless.


    Yeah, if they had to give the divine race a reason for suddenly starting a war, wasn��t it just right?


    The unpredictable army defeating the Divine Children Legion, no matter how miraculous it spread, it was also the strength of the collective.


    How strong Ye Yuan was, it was hard to say.


    But concerning Ye Yuan rushing into Grant Bright Mountain Camp all by himself and abducted someone back, that was something completely different.


    If they were Daymeld, wouldn��t they feel fear toward this genius?


    The answer was definitely!


    Ni Xuan smiled bitterly and said, ��Pang Zhen said that you went to chase after a divine race member, I even thought that you didn��t catch up. I didn��t expect that you actually went to tour around Grant Bright Mountain Camp!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course, I��m not here to show off this to you all, but here to tell you all that �� this battle, we have to fight!��


    Silence was restored in the camp again.


    The topic returned to the beginning, when it concerned the interests of the myriad races, everyone was silent.


    This was not something that the title of a progenitor could suppress.


    With regards to this kind of awkward situation, Ye Yuan had long expected it. He just said coolly, ��Let me ask you guys, what does the divine race fear most about us?��


    Everyone was still silent. In order to avoid embarrassment, Ni Xuan spoke up, ��Is it �� Dao Ancestors?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Nay! What they fear most, is the myriad races�� numbers! Just the human race, our population is thousands of times than theirs! Even if we use numbers to pile on, we��ll also crush them to death! Therefore, ever since the divine race emerged from the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms, places that they passed through, not even chickens or dogs were spared!��


    ��Let me ask you all again, after retreating to the Middle Realms and the divine race army continuing advancing, what do you all plan to do?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was scorching, sweeping across everyone��s faces. Everyone did not dare to meet his gaze at all.


    The answer was very clear, they planned on continuing to retreat!


    Not that they could not see the situation clearly, but that these people were all harboring hopes of getting lucky.


    If the sky fell, wasn��t there still the human race to prop it up?


    But these people did not know about the cruelty of the last epoch at all!


    That period of history had been sealed in dust for too long!


    Even if it was mentioned now, they would still feel that there were elements of exaggeration.


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, ��The divine race army will charge all the way towards the Middle Realms! There will come a day when they will charge into your clans! You all don��t use this kind of eyes to look at me. In the last Doomsday Battle, the divine race was at a disadvantage because of numbers! So this time, they definitely won��t make the same mistake again! They just need to keep on killing and killing, until one day, we discover that our numbers are already insufficient to deal with them, and it would be too late to repent!��


    Got to admit, Ye Yuan��s words were very convincing.


    It was just that this was still not enough!


    Shi Potian said in a solemn voice, ��Lord Saint Azure, not every member of the race has your combat power! If we wage a full-scale war, we aren��t the divine race��s match at all!��


    ��Yeah, we��ve fought with the divine race before, and we were defeated in a few rounds. We already suffered heavy casualties!��


    Shi Potian��s words represented the thoughts of the various races�� leaders.


    The most fundamental reason why they did not dare to confront the enemy, was still that the divine race��s strength was too strong!


    Ye Yuan saw that the timing was about right and said smilingly, ��If I can bring you all to victory?��


    These words did not stir up much waves. Instead, Shi Potian smiled disdainfully and said, ��Lord Saint Azure, I know that you��re outstandingly talented! But a battle of this magnitude isn��t a battle with individuals! Even if you yourself fall into the enemy��s formation, you��ll definitely die too! What are you basing on to bring us to victory?��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said proudly, ��Based on that �� I��m Saint Azure!��


    ��Hahaha �� Us calling you Lord Saint Azure is looking on the account of Lord Profound Secrets��s face! Calling you Samsara Progenitor is looking on the account of Brother Long Yi��s face! But, just based on this name, you want to make our entire clans work themselves to the bone for you?�� Shi Potian laughed loudly and said.


    Not that he was arrogant, but making him bet the lives of his entire race, he was not willing!


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was simply too ridiculous!


    A mere ��Saint Azure�� two words and he wanted so many people to sell their souls for him?


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent, replying tirelessly neither too fast nor too slowly.


    The more he talked, the more shocked the expressions on everyone��s faces were!


    Until the end, everyone��s eyes became brighter and brighter, and even revealed looks of excitement!


    Very clearly, they were moved by Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2417 - Who’s Scheming Against Who?

    ��The present myriad races coalition forces is really much weaker compared to the last Doomsday Battle! These guys can��t take a single blow at all!��


    At the summit of the high mountain, Daymeld stood with his hands behind his back, pointing at the country.


    Just earlier, the divine race army crushed the coalition forces again and mowed down all resistance.


    He stood here, ascending to a height. He enjoyed the distant view, taking everything into his sight, and was filled with lofty sentiments.


    Just three months ago, both sides officially went to war!


    In the three months, both sides had experienced dozens of major and minor battles. The coalition forces were unable to stop the divine race��s iron hoofs at all.


    The divine race army headed all the way east and was already almost reaching the boundary between the West Realms and Middle Realms.


    The myriad races coalition forces fought as they retreated, and they could not organize a decent battle at all.


    ��But Your Excellency, Ye Yuan hasn��t shown up until now. I��m afraid that he doesn��t dare to show face anymore. If we continue fighting, once we fight until the Middle Realms, I��m afraid that it will alarm the Dao Ancestors!�� Yu Qin said worriedly.


    At this point, both sides were extremely sensitive.


    Once Dao Ancestors took action, that would be the situation of not resting until one was dead.


    Most importantly, the divine race��s few great sovereigns did not have absolute confidence in dealing with the Dao Ancestors.


    No doubt that Tian Qing��s battle with the Dao Ancestors previously made the humans extremely apprehensive.


    But the divine race also realized the might of the Dao Ancestors�� strength!


    Daymeld laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� Yu Qin, you��re also looking down on this progenitor too much! You take a look. What place is it if we continue advancing from here?��


    Yu Qin was taken aback and said, ��Further ahead and it��s the Eight Void Mountain Range! Does Your Excellency have any brilliant plans?��


    Daymeld smiled and said, ��Yu Qin, your ability to have an overview of the overall situation is still a bit lacking! You take a look again. What shape is our divine race army assuming currently?��


    Yu Qin was uncertain what it meant and swept his eyes towards the distance.


    The eyesight of this level of powerhouses was extremely good. One look and he could tell the army��s shape.


    He was suddenly startled and said, ��Your Excellency, our army seems like �� a pocket!��


    At this time, the divine race army was just like an enormous pocket, enveloping the myriad races coalition forces up.


    Looking from afar, it was just like a pocket enveloping the myriad races coalition forces up.


    Originally, with the numbers of the divine race, it was impossible to achieve this.


    But, the myriad races alliance��s troops were not as many as imagined at all.


    The divine race had the support of the abyss monsters, they were already not worse than the myriad races coalition forces in terms of numbers.


    ��Hahaha, what you said is right, it��s a pocket!��


    Daymeld��s face was rather pleased with himself as he said, ��I��ve always been deliberately suppressing in three directions, forcing them in the direction of the Eight Void Mountain! Ten billion years ago, Grand Ancestor Skyformation isolated our divine race army with his power alone! Today, this progenitor will borrow his power and catch the myriad races coalition forces like catching a turtle in a jar! When they know that the array formation which their ancestor laid down actually became the thing that cuts off their final way out, they will definitely be very despaired, right?��


    Talking about how he was pleased with himself, Daymeld laughed loudly without ceasing.


    His individual combat strength was naturally extremely strong.


    But being able to achieve victory in the great battle between two armies had more of a sense of accomplishment.


    Yu Qin��s two eyes lit up when he heard that and said with a sigh of admiration, ��Your Excellency is impressive! These three months, Your Excellency actually unknowingly forced them into a hopeless situation! Now, even if they react to it, it��s also too late to turn around too! Except, if that kid doesn��t appear again, what shall we do?��


    Daymeld smiled and said, ��Don��t you worry. They will definitely come out! At that time, I��ll give them a way out and intentionally give them a slim chance of survival! This army��s combat power is extremely strong, Ni Xuan will definitely send them to attack this weak link. At that time, we��ll round them up in one fell swoop!��


    ��Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Lord Daymeld took every conceivable possibility into account, it��s really our divine race��s blessing!��


    Yu Qin did not stint with praises in the slightest. He was really impressed.


    Daymeld mapped out a strategy in the command tent and had long already calculated everything, only waiting for the fish to bite the bait!


    With such a commander, how could he not be amazed?


    Daymeld smiled and said, ��It��s also not that I took every conceivable possibility into account, but that the human army reminded me! Three months ago, the two armies fought several great battles in a row, yet they retreated in the direction of the Eight Void Mountain! They were unintentional, but I did it intentionally! Hahaha ����


    He originally did not pay attention to the retreat route of the myriad races coalition forces.


    But after several times, Daymeld suddenly saw the Eight Void Mountain Range!


    This place was the divine race��s place of humiliation back then!


    Grand Ancestor Skyformation turned the entire Eight Void Mountain into a mountain of restrictions overnight, slaughtering countless divine race powerhouses.


    That battle was the battle that the myriad races coalition forces fought to their heart��s content.


    Grand Ancestor Skyformation��s awe-inspiring reputation had spread far and wide ever since.


    Circumstances changed with the passing of time. Who could have thought that the Eight Void Mountain restrictions that massacred countless divine race members back then would actually become the insurmountable obstacle of the myriad races coalition forces?


    Thinking up to here, Daymeld had unspeakable delight in his heart.


    Presently, Grand Ancestor Skyformation had long since passed away. It was impossible for the human race to have anyone who can cross the Eight Void Mountain Range!


    ��Pass on the order, the army will continue to advance toward Eight Void Mountain Range!��


    �� ��


    When Daymeld was laughing loudly at the top of the mountain, there were similarly roaring guffaws inside the myriad races coalition forces�� camp.


    ��Hahaha �� Daymeld is really ��smart��! Honestly speaking, I was really scared that he��s too dumb to think of Eight Void Mountain!�� Ni Xuan said with a big laugh.


    Long Yi also smiled and said, ��Then you��re looking down on him too much. He��s the three armies�� commander after all. If he can��t even see this, then he��d also be too dumb.��


    ��Tsk tsk, it��s still Lord Saint Azure who is incredible. He really took every conceivable possibility into account! It��s a pity. If he could remain ten billion years ago, maybe we wouldn��t have needed to experience this battle!�� Shi Potian said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    On that day, Ye Yuan recounted the origin of Saint Azure for everyone to hear. Everyone was dumbstruck with amazement.


    This sort of thing was seriously too fantastical. They did not dare to believe it at all.


    It turned out that the human race��s Dao teachings in the last epoch were actually passed down by Ye Yuan!


    For this, they even asked Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets to confirm this matter.


    After getting an affirmative answer, no one dared to look down on Ye Yuan anymore.


    Compared to this, Ye Yuan entering the enemy camp alone appeared too piddling.


    One had to know, the human race��s today was created by Ye Yuan single handedly!


    Since that was the case, those terrifying restriction grand arrays on Eight Void Mountain Range were actually all created from the Dao teachings that Ye Yuan left behind!


    Although Grand Ancestor Skyformation��s strength later on was God knows how many times stronger than Ye Yuan, when it came down to it, they were still from the same direct line of lineage.


    Dealing with the divine race army with Eight Void Mountain Range��s peerless grand arrays, Daymeld would never have dreamed of this, right?


    How could he know that Ye Yuan this Saint Azure traveled through spacetime and triggered the grand arrays again?


    This sort of thing, even thinking about it, made them felt excited.


    On the other end, Daymeld thought that he had cornered the myriad races coalition forces, cutting off the army with Eight Void Mountain��s grand array.


    While on this end, the myriad races coalition forces planned on re-activating Eight Void Mountain��s grand array and slaughtering the divine race army again!


    ��Speaking of which, we��re really ashamed! Concerning this new world created by the ancient sages with hot blood, we��re powerless to protect it! Lord Saint Azure traveled through spacetime. He has to face the divine race��s incursion twice. He really carries a heavy burden and has a long road ahead! Saint Azure is well-deserving of being a virtuous saint through the ages!�� Ni Xuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Everyone nodded their heads one after another, deeply feeling that way too.

 Chapter 2418 - Climbing the Mountain!

    Chapter 2418: Climbing the Mountain!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    When he arrived at Eight Void Mountain again, this place no longer had the prosperity of the past.


    Back then, there was no idea how many myriad races powerhouses who were gaining enlightenment on Dao on Eight Void Mountain.


    But now, Eight Void Mountain was cold and deserted. Those powerhouses were nowhere to be found.


    This place was the gateway to the Middle Realms. It would surely be affected by the war.


    Continuing to gain enlightenment on Dao here was no different from seeking death.


    However, there were always some people who were oblivious to the outside world. There were still some people scattered on Eight Void Mountain.


    Ye Yuan walked up the steps. The countless restrictions in front of him were a different sight in his eyes.


    Back then, when he was gaining enlightenment on Dao on Eight Void Mountain, his experience and knowledge was still too shallow. He could not discover the nucleus of this huge restriction at all.


    Now that he returned again, this restriction was already not as mysterious as back then in his eyes.


    Because the foundation of this Formation Dao was passed down by him!


    Of course, being less mysterious did not mean that this restriction was nothing great.


    Grand Ancestor Skyformation was a supreme existence that reached the level of rules. So how could this restriction power be of the common sort?


    This time, Ye Yuan was not here to gain enlightenment on the formations, but he was here to take over this astonishing grand array!


    ��Eh, isn��t this Young Friend Ye Yuan? Why are you back at Eight Void Mountain in such a troubled time?�� Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from not far away.


    Ye Yuan looked over. It was Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun who engaged in small talk with him before leaving, when he was comprehending the formations on Eight Void Mountain.


    He did not expect that this person was actually still here gaining enlightenment on Dao.


    Ye Yuan replied, ��So, it��s Fellow Daoist Xiu Yun!��


    Xiu Yun focused his eyes and looked, and he could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.


    Not seeing him for a short thousand years, Ye Yuan actually already reached peak Heavenly Emperor Realm, and he was only a step away from Deva Realm!


    Furthermore, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body was very illusory. He actually could not quite see through.


    Xiu Yun could not help feeling a little more solemn in his heart.


    ��Not seeing for many years, I didn��t expect that Young Friend Ye is already almost becoming a member of my generation! It��s just that Eight Void Mountain��s great battle is nigh. With Young Friend coming to gain enlightenment on Dao at this time, I��m afraid that it��s the wrong time,�� Xiu Yun said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m not here to gain enlightenment on Dao.��


    Xiu Yun was taken aback and said, ��Not comprehending Dao? Then what did Young Friend Ye come here for?��


    Ye Yuan did not answer. He instead asked, ��Fellow Daoist Xiu Yun, it��s currently troubled times, the human race needs a major power like yourself. You obtained the human race��s inheritance, but want to become a recluse, is this really okay?��


    Finished saying, he stopped paying attention to Xiu Yun and continued climbing the steps.


    Xiu Yun��s old face turned red, but he became unhappy in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually did not have any consideration for his face.


    ��Young Friend Ye, aren��t you the same? What qualifications do you have to talk about me?�� Xiu Yun said in a solemn voice.


    ��I��m different from you!�� Ye Yuan did not turn back as he said coolly.


    This place was already above 6000 miles!


    The restrictions here already reached close to the level of rank three source.


    Ye Yuan actually walked through here without any stagnation.


    Very soon, he surpassed Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun and continued up.


    When Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun saw this scene, he was dumbstruck with amazement once more.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan��s current Formation Dao attainments already surpassed him?


    This �� How was this possible?


    But Ye Yuan had clearly already surpassed him!


    On Eight Void Mountain, whoever walked higher represented whoever was stronger!


    This point had already been affirmed by countless formation path powerhouses.


    The height that Ye Yuan climbed was higher than him. This indicated that Ye Yuan was stronger than him in formation path strength.


    There was no doubt about this at all!


    At this height, there were still some sporadic formation path powerhouses. They were all startled by Ye Yuan.


    ��That kid is the fellow who turned above 3000 miles upside down back then!��


    ��Not seeing for just a thousand years, his formation path strength is already so terrifying?��


    ��He doesn��t have the intention of stopping yet. Could it be that he��s still planning on going up?��


    �� ��


    Under the watchful gazes of a group of powerhouses, Ye Yuan slowly went up.


    6500 miles!


    7000 miles!


    8000 miles!


    9000 miles!


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied!


    The mark of 9000 miles was the watershed between rank two source and rank three source!


    Walking until here, meant that Ye Yuan��s formation path strength already reached rank three source!


    Except, this was not over yet.


    Ye Yuan continued up, 10,000 miles, 13,000 miles, 18,000 miles!


    At this time, the powerhouses on Eight Void Mountain were already startled one after another.


    A Heavenly Emperor Realm junior actually climbed to a height of 18,000 miles in one go!


    That place was the watershed of rank four source!


    Those who were able to reach this step were all Deva Fourth Blight supreme powerhouses. Each one was a heaven-shocking important figure.


    Now, a young fellow had reached it!


    However, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of stopping. He was still going up!


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, each level one climbed up, the greater the distance that it crossed.


    The watershed of rank five source was 40,000 miles!


    All the powerhouses on Eight Void Mountain were shocked.


    ��No way, right? He �� he wouldn��t really go above 40,000 miles, right?��


    ��This is really too crazy! All my years of living were really utterly wasted!��


    ��Could it be that his Formation Dao already reached the level of rank five source at a young age? I really don��t dare to believe it!��


    �� ��


    Without the slightest surprise, Ye Yuan walked up to 40,000 miles!


    Rank five source!


    At this moment, the entire Eight Void Mountain was stirred!


    Those Deva Third and Fourth Blight powerhouses even became short of breath.


    They already did not remember how long it had been since they lost such composure before.


    It was also that right now, the number of people on Eight Void Mountain was too few. Otherwise, at this moment, it would definitely be full of discussions all over the hills and valleys.


    However, this was still not the main point!


    Ye Yuan was still heading up!


    Eight Void Mountain Range, the main peak reached as high as 80,000 miles!


    That place was the top of Eight Void Mountain, the place where the ultimate profound intent of Formation Dao lied!


    It was just that, there had been so many geniuses since time immemorial, but nobody had ever been on it!


    Even for Deva Fifth Blight formation path masters, it was absolutely impossible to climb to the summit too.


    Because that place was where rules lay!


    That place was where Grand Ancestor Skyformation��s lifelong painstaking effort lay!


    It was precisely because of this insurmountable peak that had blocked countless divine race powerhouses.


    Above 53,000 miles, Progenitor Yue Feng suddenly opened his eyes, rays of brilliance shooting out of his eyes.


    That gaze landed on precisely Ye Yuan.


    He was currently the only Deva Fifth Blight formation path sovereign on Eight Void Mountain!


    ��Who on earth is this boy, to actually climb up to 40,000 miles with the realm of Heavenly Emperor! Looking at his appearance, is it possible that he��s still continuing to go up?�� Progenitor Yue Feng exclaimed.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan walked over leisurely.


    That appearance was seemingly like admiring the beautiful scenery on this Eight Void Mountain.


    Those terrifying to the extreme restrictions did not seem to exist to him at all!


    41,000 miles!


    45,000 miles!


    �� ��


    53,000 miles!


    Ye Yuan finally arrived at Progenitor Yue Feng��s height!


    Reaching this level, the remaining land on the mountain was already very small.


    The place where Ye Yuan passed through was not far from Progenitor Yue Feng.


    However, he did not have the intention of going up to say hello.


    At this point now, he did not like the people who still remained on Eight Void Mountain to gain enlightenment on Dao!


    ��Young Friend, wait!�� Progenitor Yue Feng suddenly said.

 Chapter 2419 - Acknowledging Master!

    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued on.


    Yue Feng��s expression instantly turned sullen.


    This brat was also too condescending!


    He, an exalted Deva Fifth Blight supreme formation god, was an existence that tens of thousands admired wherever he went.


    But a Heavenly Emperor Realm little fellow actually completely ignored him!


    If this could be endured, what else could not be?


    He did not say a word, repeatedly pointing at the void, and was about to unleash the power of restrictions.


    Reaching this level of realm, every movement and action was array formation.


    They did not need to prepare anything when killing the enemy with formations.


    What they prepared, were all terrifying to the extreme killing moves.


    Even if Ye Yuan reached the level of rank five formation path source, it was no different to him.


    But he discovered to his shock that he was actually unable to ignite the surrounding restrictions!


    ��This �� What in the world is going on? I��ve clearly already understood the mysteries of these restrictions completely! Why can��t I activate it?�� Yue Feng��s entire body trembled as he said in disbelief.


    But Ye Yuan suddenly stopped at this time, looked towards Yue Feng, and said indifferently, ��You wanted to kill me just now?��


    Yue Feng��s expression changed wildly. Suddenly, a hint of a ferocious look appeared on his face and he said in a cold voice, ��So what if kill you? A brat actually dares to belittle this ancestor deserves the death penalty!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��You, as the human race��s major power, received the human race major power��s imparting of Dao on Eight Void Mountain, but you didn��t think to repay the human race. Someone like you, so what if I belittle you?��


    But Yue Feng sneered and said, ��What has the human race��s life and death got to do with me? Kid, don��t you be rampant. Killing you, I don��t need this Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions at all!��


    Done talking, the imposing aura on his body suddenly shook, a terrifying power suddenly spread out.


    The power of a Deva Fifth Blight was sufficient to make heaven and earth change colors!


    Let alone using it to kill a Heavenly Emperor Realm junior?


    Only to see Yue Feng send a punch over, it was as if the entire Eight Void Mountain started shaking.


    Eight Void Mountain was indeed trembling.


    Because Ye Yuan moved too!


    It was only to see him raise his finger. A pale-yellow light was sent into Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions.


    The restrictions above 50,000 miles suddenly activated!


    Rumble!


    At this moment, it was as if the entire Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions were boiling over!


    Yue Feng��s expression changed wildly. He only felt a power that could topple mountains and overturn the seas directly crushed his attack completely. The power struck on his chest.


    The Deva Fifth Blight supreme powerhouse fell to the ground seriously injured!


    Yue Feng looked at Ye Yuan with a horrified look, his eyes full of fear.


    ��W-What happened just now? What did you do?�� Yue Feng said in alarm and horror.


    He felt like he was facing the power of rules just now!


    Reaching his level, apart from the power of rules, what else could hurt him?


    How could a Heavenly Emperor Realm little fellow mobilize the power of rules?


    The power just now was absolutely not just the power of restrictions above 50,000 miles.


    He felt as if the entire Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions were rushing to his face!


    Ye Yuan looked at Yue Feng coldly and said with a sneer, ��I��ll spare your life for now! Want to know what I did, open your dog eyes and take a good look!��


    After he finished talking, Ye Yuan ignored Yue Feng and continued walking up.


    This scene already shocked all of the powerhouses on Eight Void Mountain!


    ��Severely wounding Progenitor Yue Feng with one attack; how �� how on earth did he do it?��


    ��He��s still climbing! Could it be that �� he��s going to climb to the top of Eight Void Mountain?��


    ��This is impossible! Eight Void Mountain has existed here since ancient times. Since time immemorial, how many peerless geniuses have attempted to reach the summit, but no one has succeeded! What right does he, a puny little Heavenly Emperor Realm, have to reach the summit?��


    ��Seems like this Eight Void Mountain��s highest record is the 71,000 miles created by Heavenly Emperor Heartless, right? He wouldn��t really be challenging this record, right?��


    �� ��


    At this time, there was already no one comprehending Dao, everyone was paying attention to Ye Yuan.


    The current Ye Yuan already surpassed Heavenly Emperor Yue Feng, becoming the present Eight Void Mountain��s number one person!


    Then, would he surpass the highest record and really reach the top?��


    At this kind of exciting moment, how could they still have the mind to cultivate?


    Sure enough, the powerful restrictions above 50,000 miles, Ye Yuan completely regarded them as nothing.


    Very soon, he climbed to 60,000 miles!


    61,000 miles!


    62,000 miles!


    �� ��


    Each step that Ye Yuan took seemed to be stepping on their hearts, making them palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    It was already getting closer and closer to 71,000 miles!


    Finally, Ye Yuan took a step out and arrived above 71,000 miles!


    He surpassed the countless ancient and modern formation path sovereigns, and he reached the highest peak!


    The scattered powerhouses on the mountain immediately seethed with excitement.


    The record through the ages was broken by a Heavenly Emperor Realm just like that.


    This sort of thing, they still did not quite dare to believe it!


    But this was merely just the beginning!


    Because Ye Yuan was still climbing upward!


    He was climbing toward 80,000 miles!


    Everyone felt a little hard to breathe. This sort of thing really subverted all of their understanding.


    Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun looked at that back view in the distance, all sorts of emotions spilling over in his heart.


    Just what kind of existence was he talking to earlier!


    Ye Yuan got closer and closer to the summit, increasingly closer.


    The entire Eight Void Mountain seemed to be shaking in pace with his rhythm.


    Eight Void Mountain Range was trembling under Ye Yuan��s feet!


    This earth-shaking restriction seemed to gradually be waking up from a deep sleep.


    Walking along the way, Ye Yuan also felt an upsurge of emotion.


    He did not expect that Grand Ancestor Skyformation actually comprehended such a vast and unfathomable terrifying grand array based on his legacy.


    At this time, what was wandering around him was a force that was hard to describe.


    This power was not something that one could explain clearly and make people understand, but also really existed.


    As if the source of all Formation Dao came from this power.


    Ye Yuan understood that this was Formation Dao rule!


    The power of rules towered above everything!


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, it was naturally impossible to reach the summit.


    But Ye Yuan was different from the others.


    Walking along the way, he had been releasing his own power of source!


    He was searching for resonance with the Eight Void Mountain��s grand array!


    In other words, he was trying to awaken the entire Eight Void Mountain��s grand array!


    Arriving above 50,000 miles, the entire Eight Void Mountain��s grand array seemingly already acknowledged Ye Yuan��s existence.


    The situation was as if it was acknowledging a master.


    The entire process was like Ye Yuan was refining the Eight Void Mountain grand array!


    But Yue Feng wanted to kill Ye Yuan in front of the Eight Void Mountain. Wasn��t this him seeking death?


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan was only a hundred steps away from the summit.


    Ye Yuan could even see the situation on top of the mountain already.


    That place had nine ghostly fires of different colors. They were operating on their own with some sort of magical power; lasting!


    A power that was as vast as the firmament transmitted from there, and actually made Ye Yuan somewhat have the impulse to prostrate in worship too.


    However, his body released an even more terrifying power very soon, suppressing this power.


    ��This is the true power of rules?�� Ye Yuan looked at those nine ghostly fires as he muttered.


    At this time, he arrived before the ghostly fires without the slightest hesitation and reached his hand over.


    Rumble!


    The entire Eight Void Mountain started trembling violently!

 Chapter 2420 - Grand Ancestor Skyformation!

    Chapter 2420: Grand Ancestor Skyformation!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    At this time, a torrent of laws poured down from the top of the mountain. It was as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down. It was a grand sight to behold.


    The Eight Void Mountain grand array that stretched for tens of millions of miles were all activated at this moment.


    Such a vast power made everyone quake in fear.


    Even Yue Feng, this kind of Deva Fifth Blight, was also eclipsed in front of such a powerful force.


    ��He reached the summit! He �� He really reached the top! That is the land of rules! How did he do it?��


    Shock was written all over Yue Feng��s face. The impact that the scene of Ye Yuan reaching the summit gave him was seriously too shocking.


    Rules, that was the ultimate that all Deva Realm martial artists pursued.


    But in this epoch, for ten billion years, apart from the few great Dao Ancestors, nobody was able to comprehend rules at all.


    Even if all of the Deva Realm powerhouses knew that the top of this Eight Void Mountain was the land of rules, no one had ever reached it before.


    Once, Heavenly Emperor Heartless climbed to 70 thousand over miles and was also just a step away from the land of rules. But he did not manage to take that step in the end.


    But today, someone actually reached the summit!


    Furthermore, this person was merely just a Heavenly Emperor Realm martial artist.


    The shock that this scene brought could be imagined.


    The first person in ten billion years!


    The ones who were shocked were naturally not just Yue Feng alone.


    The powerhouses on Eight Void Mountain never thought that those who stayed on the mountain during such a time of chaos actually witnessed such a miracle.


    ��Could it be that this kid already comprehended the power of rules? But he��s just at the Heavenly Emperor Realm!��


    ��If he didn��t comprehend the power of rules, how did he reach the summit? It��s really contradictory!��


    ��Something that no one has done for ten billion years, he actually accomplished it! I simply somewhat doubt my eyes!��


    �� ��


    All manner of exclamations were unable to describe the shock in their hearts.


    The power of rules, that was the existence that dominated above all things.


    It could be hoped for but not sought after!


    Now, a Heavenly Emperor Realm martial artist actually reached such a realm. How could they not envy?


    It was just that their shock was not over yet.


    At this moment, it was only to hear Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Come out!��


    The nine ghostly fires suddenly gathered together and finally turned into an old man.


    The moment this old man appeared, an illusory to the extreme Formation Dao power of rule instantly enveloped Eight Void Mountain Range.


    Originally, Eight Void Mountain was just a dead place.


    But his appearance made the entire Eight Void Mountain come to life all at once!


    It was as if this place was born for him.


    Even a fool could tell too.


    This old man was none other than definitely Eight Void Mountain grand array��s master!


    Everyone held their breaths, looking at the old man in shock.


    This was a rule powerhouse!


    ��This old man, Lin Wushuang, pays respect to Lord Saint Azure!��


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, the old man actually prostrated down toward Ye Yuan!


    It was prostrating!


    A rule powerhouse actually prostrated in solemn respect to a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse!


    Furthermore, this level of supremacy tend to have their own resounding names.


    But he referred to himself with his real name.


    Eight Void Mountain��s powerhouses felt like their brains were not quite enough to use.


    Everything that happened today was too bizarre and too shocking, virtually already exceeding their understanding.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan might have obtained Grand Ancestor Skyformation��s legacy, that was how he could reach the summit.


    But when Lin Wushuang appeared, they naturally thought that Ye Yuan should be prostrating toward Lin Wushuang, to thank him for his legacy.


    However, the result was totally different.


    At this time, Ye Yuan became an incomparably mysterious existence in everyone��s eyes.


    Just what did he rely on?


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Wushuang. It was only to feel that he looked a little unfamiliar.


    The time he stayed in the ancient period was too short, it was naturally impossible to know everyone.


    Among that batch who stood out among the rest back then, there did not seem to be Lin Wushuang.


    ��Get up. You��ve seen me before?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The time he stayed in Heavenly Hidden World was not long. Furthermore, the majority of the time was in closed-seclusion, he did not really go and guide these geniuses.


    Lin Wushuang said, ��This disciple was in the first batch to enter Heavenly Hidden World and had the honor of seeing Your Excellency��s graceful bearing. Although I wasn��t able to see your real face, the aura on Your Excellency��s body won��t be wrong. Furthermore �� this disciple is best friends with Qin Chao.��


    Mentioning Qin Chao, Ye Yuan could not help looking downcast.


    In the last epoch, the one who had accompanied him the longest was Qin Chao.


    It was just a pity that he could not save Qin Chao.


    Ye Yuan said, ��You became a grand ancestor. Then Qin Chao ����


    Lin Wushuang said, ��He could get the personal guidance of Lord Saint Azure, and so he naturally ascended to the position of a grand ancestor! It��s just a pity. He perished in the battle with the Profound Lineage��s progenitor, Yuan Yi, back then.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a sigh, ��It��s just a shame that I couldn��t fight side by side together with you all back then.��


    Lin Wushuang said, ��Since ancient times, it��s been hard for things to be perfect. Lord Saint Azure��s contributions went down in history. There��s no need to blame yourself. Moreover, the burden on Lord Saint Azure��s shoulders is far heavier than ours. What Lord Saint Azure said back then, we still didn��t understand. Seeing Saint Azure again today, Wushuang understands everything. Your Excellency collecting this formation, I��m afraid that the divine race has staged a comeback again, right?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The divine race army has invaded our territory. The myriad races are powerless to resist. So I thought of this formation. Hand this formation over to me then!��


    Lin Wushuang said respectfully, ��This nine rule formation��s foundation is the essence of what I learned in my lifetime. It can evolve into thousands of grand arrays! Back then, I shed my heart blood to lay down this formation overnight, killing 8000 divine race powerhouses, but I also died because my heart blood was exhausted.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, ��It was hard on you!��


    Finished talking, Lin Wushuang tapped a finger on Ye Yuan��s glabella. Rays of brilliant light erupted.


    The nine rule formation bases entered Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness one by one.


    Ye Yuan just felt that a vast amount of information entered his sea of consciousness.


    Although there were only nine formation bases, the Formation Dao rule contained inside could not be calculated using words at all.


    When Eight Void Mountain��s powerhouses heard these two people��s conversation, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    They could not understand many things, but they heard Lin Wushuang call himself a disciple.


    A terrifying rule powerhouse of his generation actually professed himself a disciple to someone at the Heavenly Emperor Realm!


    What the hell, was there anything more terrifying than this?


    ��Xiu Yun, do you know �� that young man? Just what is his origin?��


    At this time, there were already Deva powerhouses who gathered over, inquiring about the situation from Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun.


    Xiu Yun��s expression was ugly as he said, ��He said he came from an imperial city in the Southern Border ����


    ��I-Imperial City! Xiu Yun, are you joking with us?�� How could anyone believe such words?


    But Xiu Yun said, ��He seemed to have made a very big name for himself in the Southern Border! I sent people to check before. He��s indeed from a remote imperial city. Furthermore, his rise was also just something that happened in the recent two to three thousand years. His speed of rising makes people speechless. The last time I saw him, he was merely at the Empyrean Realm. But now, he��s already a peak Heavenly Emperor! If my conjecture is right, he might very likely be the reincarnation of some old monster!��


    ��Reincarnation of an old monster? What kind of old monster could make a rule powerhouse call himself a disciple?��


    Everyone was silent ��

 Chapter 2421 - Consider the Future!

    Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. There were actually nine ghostly fires rotating indeterminately in his pupils.


    It was his first time feeling the power of rules at such close range.


    At this moment, he finally understood why Dao Ancestors dominated above the world!


    This kind of power was not what the mortal realm should have at all.


    Even if your power of laws was comprehended to perfection, it was also not as good as one-ten-thousandth of rules.


    ��This is the power of rules? Although I��ve long known it, this saint still feels that it��s inconceivable that you all could rely on the inheritance grand arrays to comprehend the power of rules!�� Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    When he saw Saint Profound Jian Rufeng, he knew that the countless powerhouses later on were created by him.


    But at that time, he was just a late-stage World Realm martial artist after all.


    The inheritance grand arrays that he left behind were able to groom 18 rule powerhouses. Even he himself also felt proud.


    Lin Wushuang gave a bow respectfully and said, ��The legacies that Lord Saint Azure left are legacies through the ages! Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. We feel this sentence most profoundly! The 18 legacies are the perfect ways to cultivate the supreme Great Dao! Unfortunately, Lin Wushuang has a low aptitude and wasn��t able to comprehend the true heaven-defying grand array and wasn��t able to salvage the declining trend. The rule formation base that I comprehended is likely hard to enter Your Excellency��s arcane sights. I won��t impart it to Your Excellency either, but I��ll leave it in Your Excellency��s sea of consciousness for Your Excellency to refer to.��


    He did not know what kind of uproar this sentence caused below!


    Rule formation base? Hard to enter Your Excellency��s arcane sights?


    That was rule formation base!


    Those comprehending on Dao here were all Formation Dao powerhouses.


    Which person did not set comprehending rule formation base as their lifelong pursuit?


    But this rule powerhouse actually said that it was hard to enter His Excellency��s arcane sights!


    Just what kind of existence was this lord!


    These nine formation bases, even if passing one of them to them, they would be moved until they cried inordinately too, shedding tears of gratitude towards Lin Wushuang in their hearts.


    Even if it was digging their hearts out, they would be willing too.


    The lucky chance of a rule legacy was too hard to come across!


    But the opportunity that they viewed as a treasure was actually not worth looking at when placed in front of Ye Yuan!


    Everything that happened before their eyes today completely subverted their worldview.


    Ye Yuan became incomparably mysterious in their eyes.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, ��These nine formation bases, leave them with me first. After I find a decent successor, I��ll help you pass them on!��


    Lin Wushuang was overjoyed and said, ��Many thanks, Lord Saint Azure!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Wushuang, what��s the relationship between this realm of rules and Deva Fifth Blight?��


    Ye Yuan had never clarified the difference between Dao Ancestor and Deva Fifth Blight.


    Deva Fifth Blights also had distinctions of strong and weak.


    The strong ones could even stand up to Dao Ancestors as an equal!


    While the weak ones could only rule a region.


    Lin Wushuang said, ��Deva Fifth Blight is the superlative of cultivation realm! Because after our small world reached Deva Fifth Blight, it won��t be able to improve any further! Even Dao Ancestors are actually only Deva Fifth Blights too. It��s just that they are augmented with rules and possess the power of rules. Hence, they dominate above all life. Incapable of breaking through cultivation realm, and so there��s only seeking a breakthrough in the power of laws. If one can reach the realm of rules, they can make their strength improve further, reaching the realm of Grand Ancestor! However, Dao Ancestors are able to mobilize a complete power of rule. Ordinary Grand Ancestors aren��t their match either. Unless they reached Shang Hang that level of realm, only then would they have the capital to contend with Dao Ancestors.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Why is the small world unable to improve further?��


    Lin Wushuang shook his head and said, ��After reaching the extreme realm of Fifth Blight, it��s as if you reach a bottleneck, and can no longer integrate the power of Heavenly Dao into the small world. Back then, us grand ancestors studied it before together, and expended immeasurable effort, and yet we were unable to break this shackle too!��


    Hearing what Lin Wushuang said, only then did Ye Yuan know what kind of realm Dao Ancestor was.


    This was also to say that after reaching Deva Realm, what you competed in was not cultivation realm but the power of laws!


    Especially after reaching Deva Fifth Blight, whoever��s power of law was stronger, whoever��s strength was greater.


    Then would his cultivation realm be able to shatter Heavenly Dao��s fetters?


    This was a path that no one had ever walked before. Where could he walk to, even Ye Yuan himself could not say for sure either.


    But Ye Yuan had a strong feeling that this path that he took was correct!


    Right now, Ye Yuan already reached the threshold of the ninth major realm.


    How to take this crucial step, Ye Yuan did not have a complete idea yet.


    Because to him, each cultivation realm needed to go through countless deductions, and could not have the slightest mistake.


    A discrepancy of a hair��s breadth could lead to an error of a thousand miles!


    Actually, the human race��s cultivation system originally already had problems after reaching Heavenly Emperor Realm. One must transcend the Deva blight tribulation to break through the realm.


    This actually deviated from the normal cultivation method.


    Although their strength increased, they also walked into a dead end.


    Therefore, this step was similarly of vital importance to Ye Yuan.


    Striding over, he might be able to open up another path!


    Although my chaos world is far inferior to other martial artists in terms of space, in quality it completely crushes Deva Realm powerhouses! In fact, my chaos world is even somewhat struggling to make ends meet when absorbing the Heavenspan World��s heaven and earth spiritual energy. My chaos world shouldn��t lose to the Heavenspan World �� in terms of quality! Now, heaven and earth have already opened up. The next step is creating myriad life! It��s just that I need to think more about how to create a world that belongs to me. I need to be extra careful! Ye Yuan tried to figure it out in his heart.


    Ye Yuan finally let out a deep sigh as he said, ��Forget it. This step still needs to continue to deduce, can��t be impatient!��


    Lin Wushuang��s gaze was flickering indeterminately by the side. He knew that Ye Yuan was thinking about the matter of cultivation realm.


    But he similarly also knew that Lord Saint Azure was simply a freak!


    They all, these people, weighed it over later on. They concluded that even if they had the same cultivation realm as Ye Yuan at that time, and the same law comprehensions, it was also impossible to destroy the Sentry Celestial Palaces without any traces!


    What did this indicate?


    This indicated that under the same cultivation realm, Ye Yuan was almost invincible!


    This sort of thing, even they, these grand ancestors, were unable to accomplish it. If so, then how terrifying was Lord Saint Azure��s strength?


    He had once discussed it with Shang Hang before. If Lord Saint Azure reached his realm of Grand Ancestor back then, he could absolutely have directly annihilated Tian Qing!


    It was just a pity that Ye Yuan was not able to take part in the last Doomsday Battle.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Wushuang and said, ��I want to make a trip down the mountain. You help me to seal off Eight Void Mountain. This period of time, no one is allowed to go out! Otherwise, kill without mercy!��


    Lin Wushuang said respectfully, ��Yes!��


    Down the mountain, the expressions of all the powerhouses changed one after another.


    But none of them dared to act rashly.


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array was already activated, it was too easy to eradicate them!


    Even Yue Feng this kind of powerhouse, would face certain death too!


    After all, this was a rule grand array!


    Ye Yuan went down the mountain. When he passed by Yue Feng, Yue Feng suddenly plucked up the courage and asked, ��A-Are you really Lord Saint Azure?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a slight surprise and said, ��You know about Saint Azure?��


    Yue Feng��s expression was ugly as he said, ��My family��s ancestor �� had also experienced the last Doomsday Battle! There��s the legend of Azure and Profound two saints in our family! Ancestor taught that when we see Saint Azure, we must show the most solemn of ceremonies!��


    Done talking, Yue Feng directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2422 - Unpredictable Army Moving Out!

    ��Lord Yue Feng actually knelt down too!��


    ��Who on earth is this Lord Saint Azure?��


    ��Xiu Yun, didn��t you say that he came from an imperial city? But these few in front are clearly all old monsters who had lived for countless years!��


    �� ��


    At this time, Xiu Yun was also somewhat doubting his own judgment.


    Could it be that the things he investigated before were all misconceptions?


    The scenes that happened before his eyes were seriously too puzzling and shocking.


    Ye Yuan gave Yue Feng a beating, but now, Yue Feng turned around and directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a pious look.


    It was if Ye Yuan was not a person, but a god!


    A genuine god!


    But Ye Yuan was clearly just a Heavenly Emperor Realm expert.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. Looking at Yue Feng, he said in a solemn voice, ��Since your ancestor experienced the last epoch, then you should know even more that the human race��s today wasn��t easy to come by! You want to stay reclusive; there��s nothing wrong with it. But do you think that the divine race will let you live a sequestered life with peace of mind?��


    Yue Feng had a fearful look, lying prostrate on the ground, not daring to move rashly.


    When Ye Yuan saw his appearance, he found it hateful and pitiful, and said, ��Forget it. You still remember your ancestor. So at least you have some sense of shame. I��ll spare your life today! Whether you want to resist the divine race or not, you weigh and consider it yourself. If you really feel that you can stay aloof from the affair, being a carefree immortal is good too.��


    After he finished talking, he went straight down the mountain.


    Yue Feng��s entire body trembled, not daring to say a word.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually the legendary Saint Azure!


    The family teachings that his ancestor passed down was that Azure and Profound two people were virtuous saints through the ages, founding the great age of humanity.


    It was just that the era was too long ago, he only took it as a legend.


    He did not expect that there was really such a thing!


    What he did not expect even more was that Saint Azure was actually a fine young man!


    Although it was fantastical, he knew that this could not possibly be fake.


    Being able to make a rule powerhouse so respectful, Ye Yuan must be Saint Azure without a doubt!


    But why would Saint Azure appear in this era?


    This matter, he could not figure out after racking his brains.


    �� ��


    During the course of Ye Yuan conquering Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, the outside world was already fighting fiercely.


    The land of Western Realms was presently already a stretch of scorched earth.


    Deva Realm powerhouses moved out one after another. They really fought until mountains collapsed and the earth fissured apart, long rivers getting cut off.


    Countless spiritual lands and countless creatures were all wiped out.


    However, the myriad races coalition forces were fighting as they retreated.


    Although there were losses, they were not heavy.


    Furthermore, the vast majority of the time, it was the human race charging in front, the other races had nothing to say.


    At this time, hundreds of Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses were currently in a bloody battle with the divine race��s top masters.


    This battle was already fought until space collapsed and storms were raging.


    ��Hahaha, the present human race is really too weak! Your dozen over Deva Fifth Blights joined forces and can��t even deal with me! Back in the days, beneath the 18 grand ancestors, there were as many powerhouses as clouds! There were even quite a number of powerhouses who could compete with this progenitor! But today, you all are too weak!��


    In the heat of the battle, Daymeld let out a burst of loud laughter, full of contempt toward the myriad races�� experts.


    He alone tied down 14 Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses.


    Even so, he still accomplished it with ease.


    This level of strength simply made the various races�� powerhouses despaired.


    Reaching Deva Realm and Nine-marks this level, the might of the divine race truly revealed.


    This series of confrontations fought until the human race did not have any strength to fight back.


    Many Deva Realm experts had fallen.


    In contrast, the divine race��s casualties were much fewer.


    It was also that the coalition forces had a large number of experts, purely using numbers to resist Daymeld.


    Otherwise, with Daymeld��s strength, he would have long killed these Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses several times over.


    The various races�� Fifth Blight powerhouses all had livid expressions, but they were powerless to refute.


    Although it was just an astonishing grand plan that Ye Yuan laid down this time, the strength displayed by the divine race still made them despair.


    Especially Heavenly Dao True Martial, once it was executed, it was really killing gods if gods blocked, killing Buddha if Buddha blocked.


    Its amplification of the divine race powerhouses�� strength was too terrifying!


    If there was no Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, this kind of confidence, they might be completely defeated after a battle.


    ��Commander, we almost can��t hold out any longer!��


    ��Patriarch, we��re about to fail!��


    �� ��


    Behind, the commanders of the coalition forces shouted out one after another, their voices full of despair.


    Those who knew about this plan were only those high-level powerhouses.


    The despair that the rest showed was not fake!


    Ni Xuan��s expression changed several times and he said in a cold voice, ��Continue retreating!��


    The commander shouted, ��But Commander-in-Chief, it��s Eight Void Mountain at the back! Any further back and we won��t have any path anymore!��


    Ni Xuan gritted his teeth and said, ��Just retreat as you��re told! What��s with all the nonsense? Otherwise, you can fight to the death with the divine race!��


    That commander had nothing more to say, he could only retreat as he fought.


    When Daymeld saw the situation, he laughed loudly and said, ��Weak! Really weak! Don��t you humans even have an elite force?��


    Ni Xuan��s expression was very ugly, but he still retreated.


    The army retreated as they fought, and very soon they arrived at the foot of Eight Void Mountain.


    At this time, the divine race army already surrounded the coalition forces tightly like an iron bucket. There was no way to retreat at all.


    Either go up the mountain and get killed by the grand array.


    Or fight to the bitter end with the divine race!


    Of course, the outcome was still being killed!


    A subordinate asked Ni Xuan, ��Commander-in-Chief, what should we do now?��


    Ni Xuan had a dark look as he said, ��What else can we do? Break through!��


    ��But we��ve already been surrounded! There��s no way out at all!��


    Ni Xuan gritted his teeth and said, ��Find it! I don��t believe that such a large Eight Void Mountain, they can seal off all of the paths!��


    The subordinate received the order and left. Very soon, news came over.


    The subordinate reported to Ni Xuan with an excited look and said, ��Commander-in-chief really has godlike foresight! The divine race indeed missed out a path! We can break through from there!��


    Ni Xuan sighed emotionally in his heart. How could it be him who had godlike foresight? It was Lord Saint Azure who foretold it with godlike accuracy!


    In order to force out Lord Saint Azure, the divine race really did it according to Lord Saint Azure��s plan and dropped into the pit bit by bit.


    Of course, he would not show it on his face. His eyes just flashed and he said, ��Pass down the order! Have the unpredictable army blaze the trail and carve out a bloody path! We��ll charge out!��


    The unpredictable army was their final trump card!


    The moment the subordinates heard this, they knew that it was time for the decisive battle. All of them were extremely excited.


    Actually, the subordinates had long suggested sending out the unpredictable army, but Ni Xuan refused to loosen up.


    Now, he finally relented!


    It was just that how could they all, these ordinary soldiers, know the true significance of the unpredictable army!


    ��Kill!��


    Pang Zhen took the lead. Wan Zhen worked in concert from the side. Places that the unpredictable army passed through, all obstacles were swept away!


    When they moved out again, the combat power of the unpredictable army already rose several levels.


    The cooperation between them and their individual combat power both obtained huge improvements. Even more so, there was a batch of people who already transcended the Deva blight tribulation, becoming Deva Realm powerhouses!


    Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen were two of them!


    Their strength, once they entered Deva, their combat power skyrocketed.


    Over there, obtaining the news that the unpredictable army moved out, Daymeld could not help being overjoyed.


    ��Hahaha �� Ni Xuan that brat finally can��t maintain his composure anymore! This progenitor wants to see this time. Whether that Ye Yuan can really have supernatural powers or not! Everyone, heed this order! Give up on encircling and attacking the myriad races coalition forces�� main force, focus all power on besieging the unpredictable army! All Nine-marks powerhouses, move out! You must kill Ye Yuan for me!�� Daymeld dispatched the order loudly.

 Chapter 2423 - Completely Reborn!

    All of a sudden, the situation changed drastically!


    The divine race army retreated like the tide, this made the coalition forces somewhat at a loss on what to do.


    What came immediately was a burst of ecstasy!


    They did not know what happened, but they knew that they were saved.


    But Ni Xuan and the group of upper echelons had solemn expressions on their faces.


    This place had not entered the influence range of Eight Void Mountain��s grand array yet. Ye Yuan they all were luring the enemy deep in using themselves as bait.


    It was just that, how could a mere unpredictable army be able to resist the entire divine race��s army?


    This battle was too dangerous.


    Ni Xuan they all had also urged Ye Yuan before, to not risk his life. But Ye Yuan said that if he did not take the risk, he would have to use the coalition forces�� lives to take the risk!


    The two sides�� armies, the numbers were too many. It was impossible for all of them to enter the range of Eight Void Mountain��s grand array.


    Once both sides went to war, in this kind of narrow place, it would be a life-and-death battle.


    At that time, there would be countless casualties.


    In contrast, the unpredictable army being the bait would be much more agile.


    Hence, he did not scruple to risk his life to be the bait.


    Daymeld��s ultimate goal was him. As soon as he appeared, the divine race would inevitably pour the power of the whole army to encircle and suppress him.


    Currently, it was indeed the case!


    Except, this war tactic was seriously too dangerous. Once the army fell into heavy encirclement, Ye Yuan would undoubtedly die.


    One had to know, the opponent this time was not just several dozen Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realms.


    Disregarding the others, just one Daymeld was terrifying to the extreme.


    ��The three armies, listen to this order! Attack the divine race army and work in concert with the unpredictable legion!�� Ni Xuan said in a stern voice.


    �� ��


    The unpredictable army fell into the sea of divine race army very quickly.


    A mere 70 thousand people, they were insignificant like an ant in front of the entire divine race army.


    But the combat power of these 70 thousand people was surprisingly powerful!


    The places that it passed through, the divine race army actually did not have any who could last more than an exchange.


    The powerful divine race army appeared like a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of this unpredictable army.


    These few months, the divine race army had long already been accustomed to victory.


    Suddenly seeing such a courageous human army, it shocked them.


    ��Why is there such a powerful legion in the human army?��


    ��Too strong! I feel that they are like a moving fortress; unable to shake at all!��


    ��I got it! They are that mysterious army that annihilated the Divine Children Legion! Really so strong��


    �� ��


    The unpredictable army was like a bulldozer. The places that it passed through were all mowed down.


    This kind of might was something that the divine race army had never experienced before.


    In their perception, the human race was a bunch of ants; not worth mentioning at all.


    All the way until they encountered the unpredictable army.


    But they did not notice that in the unpredictable army, there was a figure who was illusory and did not make a move to kill the enemy.


    The unpredictable army may seem scattered, but actually, they were extremely organized.


    These unpredictable children, every three people formed a combat unit, becoming a miniature combat group.


    Each combat unit formed a slightly larger combat group, so on and so forth!


    This army was carrying out a group battle with precisely a powerful array formation.


    This array formation was somewhat similar to Yuan Zhen three people��s Lesser Three Origin Formation back then, but it was much more brilliant than theirs.


    But the entire unpredictable army had many invisible threads controlling, and the end of the threads was held in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    It was him controlling the entire unpredictable army in battle.


    The time that he returned was not long, the warriors of the unpredictable army were still unable to fully control the battle formation that he created.


    Hence, he thought of an idea: controlling every unpredictable child as a sword!


    He planted a sword intent in each person and conveyed orders with the sword intent.


    Each unpredictable child only needed to move and fight according to his instructions, and they would be able to maximize their combat effectiveness!


    Furthermore, being controlled by him compared to the unpredictable children fighting on their own, the power unleashed was several times greater!


    The current unpredictable army, their combat effectiveness was more than a hundred times stronger than when they fought with the Divine Children Legion back then!


    Among the unpredictable children, each one of their combat power was extremely fearsome.


    Now, with the help of array formation, they were even more invincible!


    ��Your Excellency, can��t anymore! We almost can��t stop them anymore!��


    ��They are too strong! We can��t stop them at all! Only by sending Nine-marks powerhouses over can we stop them!��


    �� ��


    The divine race��s battle will was very strong. But even so, they were also killed by the unpredictable army until they felt chills.


    At this time, Tian Lin brought a group of Nine-marks powerhouses and just happened to arrive in time.


    Seeing this scene, he could not help giving a cold snort and said in a solemn voice, ��A bunch of ants also dares to challenge the majesty of the divine race! Attack together! Destroy this bunch of guys!��


    Done talking, he took the lead and charged toward the unpredictable army.


    The moment Heavenly Dao True Martial was unleashed, a horrifying combat power spread out.


    This squad had several dozen divine race powerhouses, and also close to 100 Deva Realm abyss monsters.


    This kind of strength was sufficient to squash a human army of several million experts.


    With hundreds of Nine-marks powerhouses attacking in full force, how shocking was the commotion?


    When the divine race army saw this scene, each and every one of them was greatly aroused!


    Pffft!


    Puu, puu, puu!


    �� ��


    Tian Lin who took the lead was blown up right away.


    Following that, those Nine-marks powerhouses behind him were blown up one after another.


    A hundred over Nine-marks powerhouses were practically slaughtered cleanly by the unpredictable army in an instant.


    The impact that this scene brought to the divine race army was seriously too strong.


    Although Tian Lin was initial-stage Nine-marks, his combat power was already equivalent to Deva Second Blight.


    In front of an army formed by a group of Heavenly Emperor Realms, he actually did not survive a single exchange.


    This level of lethality was too terrifying!


    A momentary silence actually appeared on the originally noisy and chaotic battlefield.


    In a single exchange, a hundred over Nine-marks powerhouses were killed. It really shocked the divine race army.


    ��G-Got to be joking, right? Those were all Nine-marks lords! They even activated Heavenly Dao True Martial. They couldn��t even last a single clash?��


    ��Even the Divine Children Legion doesn��t have this kind of ability either, right?��


    ��Monsters! This army is really a group of monsters!��


    �� ��


    For a moment, the divine race army actually did not dare to step forward. They were daunted by the unpredictable army��s overkill.


    However, they did not move, but the unpredictable army did not have the intention of stopping.


    With Ye Yuan controlling the army and brandishing the butcher��s knife, they charged all the way. The places that they passed through were akin to a no man��s land.


    The divine race army wailed all around.


    When the news in front came over, Ni Xuan as well as the group of major powers were dumbstruck with amazement.


    ��This �� This is a joke, right? A hundred over Nine-marks powerhouses were killed in a single exchange?��


    ��The last time they faced-off against the divine children army, although they won, their losses were very grievous too. Just how long has it been? How did they become so strong?��


    ��Tsk tsk, Lord Saint Azure is indeed well-deserving of being Lord Saint Azure, he truly transforms the rotten into something magical! That army of young masters actually became so strong after letting him drill them!��


    The group of big shots was marveling endlessly.


    But right at this time, auras that blotted out the skies and covered the earth surged over from the distance one after another. It was akin to a huge wave attacking them.


    Ni Xuan��s expression changed and he said, ��Daymeld arrived! Let us hurry up and get on it!

 Chapter 2424 - All Fronts Making Emergency Requests!

    Chapter 2424: All Fronts Making Emergency Requests!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    An astonishing aura approached from afar, arriving with a howl.


    Daymeld��s aura outshone the others, overshadowing all of the divine race powerhouses.


    He was too strong!


    Detecting Ni Xuan and the rest approaching them, Daymeld gave a cold snort and said, ��Humph! A bunch of bugs who get in the way! You all go and stop them, this progenitor will personally go and kill that brat! Also, that army, don��t let a single one off! Kill them all for me!��


    He clearly became aware of the unpredictable army��s terror too. He decided to directly eliminate it and sever future troubles forever.


    Under the word of command, thousands of powerhouses rushed in like a swarm of hornets and confronted Ni Xuan and the rest very quickly.


    An astonishing great battle instantly broke out.


    While on the other side, Ye Yuan detected Daymeld��s arrival. Ye Yuan immediately sent the order to retreat.


    ��Wan Zhen, Pang Zhen, let��s split up and retreat in the direction of Eight Void Mountain! Don��t feel attached to the battle! Just retreat to Eight Void Mountain, and you guys will have won!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    The two people��s hearts turned somber, and they hurriedly complied.


    Charging all the way, the unpredictable army opened up a gap very quickly and retreated in the direction of the Eight Void Mountain.


    Daymeld already issued a certain-kill order. The unpredictable army affected the entire divine race army��s nerves. The moment they retreated, the entire divine race army chased after.


    As for Ye Yuan, he urged spacetime law to the limit, heading in the direction of the main peak.


    With his current strength, it was simply impossible to be Daymeld��s match.


    Once Daymeld caught up, that would be a road that led to death.


    ��Hahaha, kid, we meet again! Today, this progenitor is here to repay your courtesy of an arm, what are you running for?�� Behind him came Daymeld��s unbridled laughter.


    Daymeld was well-deserving of being the Heaven Lineage��s progenitor level powerhouse, his speed was actually much faster than Ye Yuan.


    His strength was suffocatingly strong.


    ��Humph! It��s a pity that my cultivation realm back then was too low! I wish that I could have slaughtered you, this old dog!�� Ye Yuan��s head did not even turn back as he said with a cold snort.


    Daymeld was indifferent and said with a big laugh, ��Kid, there are no ifs in this world! You couldn��t kill me back then and me killing you today, this is all destined by heaven! You run, I want to see where you can run to! Eight Void Mountain��s grand array is a rule grand array. Unless you can escape to the top of the mountain, otherwise, this progenitor can still kill you!��


    To Daymeld, Eight Void Mountain��s grand array was nothing.


    As long as it did not reach the level of rules, it did not pose any threat to him.


    Let a puny little Heavenly Emperor escape to the top of the mountain?


    How could this sort of thing be possible?


    Daymeld knew that Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao attainments were merely just at the level of rank two source.


    There was already no one who could reach the summit of the mountain in the human race currently!


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Alright, then you come up the mountain to kill me! I want to see until where you, this old dog, can chase me!��


    The two people, one in front and one behind, bickered through the air, but their speed did not slow down in the slightest, akin to two streaks drawing an arc across the horizon.


    While on the other side, the unpredictable army was also fleeing frantically.


    It was just that the current unpredictable army was obviously much more mature.


    Their retreat was orderly and did not show the least bit of panic.


    However, without Ye Yuan controlling the grand array, the entire unpredictable army��s combat power dropped significantly, and casualties also started appearing.


    After all, an army of 70 thousand people being obstructed and intercepted by an army of hundreds of millions, no matter how strong, it was also impossible to be completely unscathed.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan already led them to break through the heavy encirclement. They only had to retreat step by step will do.


    But right at this time, the divine race used their trump card!


    The Divine Children Legion!


    Although the Divine Children Legion suffered heavy casualties, there were still 40 to 50 thousand people left after all.


    Lumping these 40 to 50 thousand people together, they were still a team with extremely strong combat power.


    The re-emergence of the Divine Children Legion suddenly delayed the unpredictable army��s speed of retreat.


    However, it was also merely slowing it down.


    When they crossed swords again, even if this army did not have Ye Yuan, their combat power was already completely different.


    Under Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen��s lead, the unpredictable army fought as they retreated, but the Divine Children Legion��s casualties were continuously increasing.


    The Divine Children Legion��s warriors were all extremely shocked.


    They did not expect that after experiencing one battle, these unpredictable army��s soldiers would actually be formidable to such an extent.


    However, they were under orders and desperately held the unpredictable army back.


    The Divine Children Legion��s soldiers all seemed to not care for their lives, rushing towards the unpredictable army as if being suicidal.


    The casualties of the unpredictable army were also rising sharply.


    Wan Zhen��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Continuing like this isn��t the way to go! I��m afraid that we��ll have already suffered heavy casualties before reaching Eight Void Mountain! Pang Zhen, you lead the main force away first, I��ll bring ten thousand-man squads to cover the rear!��


    The moment Pang Zhen��s heart, his expression changed wildly and he said, ��No way! Want to go, go together! Want to stay, stay together! Playing the hero like this, what kind of ability does it count as?��


    After experiencing the baptism of the battlefield, the friendship of comrade-in-arms was already cultivated between Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen.


    Wan Zhen was very magnanimous and furthermore, selfless, being deeply respected by the unpredictable army.


    Even Pang Zhen was subdued by his bearing.


    Wan Zhen said in a solemn voice, ��Enough crap! At this rate, nobody can leave!��


    Pang Zhen said furiously, ��Want to cover the retreat, it should be me too!��


    Wan Zhen said in a cold voice, ��Rubbish! You have excess power and lack endurance! Rest assured, even if I fall into a heavy encirclement, I have the confidence to protect myself too! As long as they are lured into the range of the grand array, I��ll be safe!��


    Pang Zhen knew that what Wan Zhen said was the truth, his combat power was extremely strong, but in terms of difficulty to deal with, it was still Wan Zhen who was more troublesome.


    His expression changed over and over again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, ��Good brother, you take care!��


    Wan Zhen smiled and said, ��Don��t say it like it��s a parting of life and death. I still want to receive Lord Saint Azure��s training and become a supremacy of my generation!��


    After he was done talking, he said in a clear voice, ��Which brothers are willing to cover the retreat with me!��


    ��Me!��


    ��Me!��


    ��Me!��


    �� ��


    Those thousand-man squads�� squad leaders stepped out of the ranks one after another.


    From the initial-most avoidance, it already reached the current taking the initiative to volunteer for battle.


    Got to admit, the growth of these unpredictable children was tremendous!


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, good brothers! Lin Xiao, Wu Cheng �� the ten of you, follow me to cover the retreat. The others, retreat first!��


    Without a doubt, the ones who remained behind to cover the retreat would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even be completely wiped out!


    Even Wan Zhen, this Deva First Blight powerhouse, might not be able to come out alive.


    But no one cowered!


    ��Kill!��


    Wan Zhen did not retreat, but advanced instead, directly killing over towards the Divine Children Legion.


    Only through madness could one achieve greatness!


    With no retreat, these ten thousand people seemed to have gone crazy, fighting desperately.


    Both sides fell into tragic hand-to-hand combats.


    These ten thousand people were unrestrained. They were not fearing of death in the slightest, and they actually forcefully stopped the army!


    But very soon, they were also surrounded by the countless divine race army, and they were engulfed inside.


    When Pang Zhen saw this scene, tears instantly swirled in his eyes, and he roared sobbingly, ��Everyone, listen up. Retreat!��


    �� ��


    On the other side, Daymeld was in hot pursuit, the gap from Ye Yuan getting closer and closer.


    It looked as if Ye Yuan was about to escape into Eight Void Mountain��s grand array.


    But right then, Daymeld suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, do you think that �� I��ll let you enter Eight Void Mountain? Lions go all out even when hunting a rabbit! Heavenly Dao True Martial, Shrinking Earth into an Inch, activate!��

 Chapter 2425 - Barely Escaping with His Life!

    ��Not good! This aura, could it be that Daymeld��s Heavenly Dao True Martial is �� ?��


    ��Hahaha, you guessed it right! Lord Daymeld��s Heavenly Dao True Martial is called Shrinking Earth into an Inch! That boy thought that he could escape from Lord Daymeld��s hands. It��s really laughable!��


    Hearing his opponent��s words, Ni Xuan��s expression became ugly to the extreme.


    Shrinking Earth into an Inch, hearing the name and one would know that it was a movement technique type Heavenly Dao True Martial.


    Daymeld��s speed was originally swift to the extreme. Now, coupled with Heavenly Dao True Martial, Ye Yuan would not be able to reach Eight Void Mountain at all!


    For a moment, Ni Xuan burned with anxiety!


    While on the other side, Wan Zhen delayed the Divine Children Legion, the divine race army continued chasing after Pang Zhen.


    Without Ye Yuan taking the charge, Wan Zhen these ten thousand people fought very bitterly.


    Fighting at a disadvantage of numbers, under the situation where they did not have an advantage in strength, it was even more unbelievably tragic.


    Fortunately, Wan Zhen already broke through to Deva Realm, attracting the vast majority of the force.


    Many unpredictable children gambled with their lives, fighting extremely miserably.


    Many unpredictable children used methods that stimulate potential to greatly increase their strength.


    After a bout of fierce fighting, they could even kill several people in a row. But in the end, they were surrounded and beaten to death by divine children.


    The numbers on both sides were rapidly being depleted.


    Boom!


    A terrifying attack arriving from behind with a howl.


    The entire world seemed to be trembling.


    After activating Heavenly Dao True Martial, Daymeld��s speed was too fast!


    In virtually a blink of an eye, he caught up.


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array looked like it was still a step away, but he could not make it anymore.


    That area of space was unable to withstand this horrifying power at all, directly collapsing.


    Even those spatial turbulent flows were knocked back too! The might of the power could be seen!


    All the hairs on Ye Yuan��s body stood on end, feeling as if the sky was falling down.


    He had never seen before such terrifying power. Only then did he truly understand what was called Doomsday Battle.


    Even Daymeld was like this, what about Tian Qing and the other progenitors?


    That kind of power, using destroying heaven and decimating the earth to describe it was also not over the top.


    At this moment, the entire foot of Eight Void Mountain was shattered!


    A huge black hole was a ghastly sight to behold.


    This terrifying scene made everyone extremely shocked.


    Especially the unpredictable army��s and coalition forces�� upper echelons, each and every one of them was staring dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    Everything was over like that?


    ��Lord Saint Azure!��


    Pang Zhen��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger, looking at that black hole as he roared angrily.


    Tears actually already flowed down his eyes.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yuan already became the leader in his heart.


    At this time, with the leader dying, he was deeply saddened.


    Not just him, everyone in the unpredictable army, all could not help shedding tears.


    ��Why is it like this! Could it be that Lord Saint Azure is gone just like that?��


    ��I don��t believe it! This is impossible!��


    ��The human race��s hope is severed just like that?��


    �� ��


    Painful wails lingered incessantly.


    Everyone was clear what Ye Yuan being killed meant.


    ��Hahaha �� ignorant child, did you really think that you could escape from under this progenitor��s hand? You completely don��t know how terrifying this progenitor was when I roamed the world unhindered! So, everything is over!��


    Killing the human race��s hope, Daymeld was incredibly relieved in his heart.


    Ye Yuan��s existence made him feel threatened.


    This feeling of extinguishing hope made him very contented.


    However, right at this moment, the void trembled, a figure covered in blood from head to toe, crawled out of the void.


    Yes, crawled out!


    The originally white long robes already turned a scarlet red color at this time, dreadful to behold.


    The bones in his body was practically all shattered.


    The aura of his body was very weak.


    But he was still alive!


    Daymeld��s laughter abruptly stopped.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked expression, full of incredulity.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Is it spacetime illusion? But this progenitor��s attack can even shatter spacetime! How did he do it!��


    Reaching his level of realm, every move and stance carried the might of heaven and earth.


    Spacetime law could not ignore everything.


    Daymeld naturally knew about Ye Yuan��s spacetime illusion. Hence, he did not hold back on this move. He dealt a blow at his full power!


    Under this blow, even a Deva Fifth Blight would have to die too.


    But Ye Yuan actually survived!


    This was simply too inconceivable.


    ��I understand! It��s a multi-layered spacetime illusion! Fine lad, I didn��t expect that your application of spacetime law already reached such a profound realm! Like this, I can��t let you stay alive even more!��


    Daymeld came to a sudden realization, immediately understanding it.


    At the critical moment, Ye Yuan laid down several layers of spacetime illusions. He completely disrupted spacetime, narrowly avoiding this attack.


    Laying down multiple layers of spacetime illusions, the difficulty did not increase a tiny bit compared to one layer of spacetime illusion.


    This was an extremely profound application of spacetime law, it was not that it could be done just by knowing spacetime law.


    Of course, even so, Ye Yuan was still almost killed by the horrifying power.


    Daymeld��s strength was too terrifying, it was already strong to the degree that it could ignore laws.


    Ye Yuan��s powerful power of laws could even render Yu Qin at a loss on what to do, and yet he was unable to stop Daymeld.


    ��Old dog, you come and kill if you have the ability!��


    The moment Ye Yuan spoke, it gave everyone a fright.


    That hoarse voice was like puffing bellows.


    After he finished talking, he turned around and entered Eight Void Mountain.


    Daymeld sneered and said, ��This Eight Void Mountain is merely a dead formation, how can it stop this progenitor? Brat, you��re too naive!��


    Done talking, he leaped and shot towards Eight Void Mountain.


    Rumble!


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array was immediately activated.


    The terrifying energy undulation smashed towards Daymeld overwhelmingly.


    However, Daymeld��s momentum was overwhelming, he did not fear these powerful restrictions in the slightest at all.


    He actually relied on his powerful strength to forcefully resist Eight Void Mountain��s grand array.


    The grand array that ordinary martial artists feared like a tiger, actually could not do the slightest thing to Daymeld.


    Daymeld charged all the way. Although his speed slowed down significantly, his speed of climbing the mountain was extremely fast.


    But in front, Ye Yuan smiled coldly in his heart.


    Entering Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, he was considered to have returned home.


    As long as he was willing, he could reach the summit in one step.


    But he did not.


    In this position, the grand array could not unleash its strongest power, and could not severely wound Daymeld at all.


    He deliberately led Daymeld on, in order to bait him up.


    The two people, you chase and I run, went from 3000 miles to 9000 miles, then to 18,000 miles, then to 40,000 miles!


    Daymeld was in hot pursuit, the momentum getting stronger and stronger.


    ��Brat, you��re almost reaching the limit, right? Let me tell you, as long as you��re unable to reach the top, you��re dead for sure today! Are you very despaired? Hahaha ���� Daymeld let out a burst of wild laughter at the back.


    Ye Yuan just smiled coldly without ceasing and continued climbing.


    Very soon, the two arrived above 60,000 miles.


    Daymeld��s figure suddenly stopped, having a bad feeling arising in his heart.


    This distance already far surpassed the limit that Ye Yuan should reach!


    But Ye Yuan was still climbing upward!


    He suddenly had a feeling of falling into a pit.


    At this time, Ye Yuan also stopped. Turning back, he said with a sneer, ��What? Scared? Didn��t you say that I can��t reach the top of the mountain? Would you like to try?��

 Chapter 2426 - Make You Lose Three Layers of Skin!

    Although Ye Yuan was seriously wounded at this time and his aura being feeble, his words were full of disdain and sarcasm.


    Daymeld��s expression was very ugly as he said in a deep voice, ��Are you goading this progenitor? What a joke! Even with how vast this world is, is there still a place that this progenitor doesn��t dare to go to?��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then you can come and try whether I can reach the top or not!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk any longer, and so he continued climbing up.


    Daymeld could not help choking and actually did not chase after right away.


    He had indeed been intimidated by Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s calm expression made him somewhat uncertain.


    Immediately, he smiled coldly and said, ��Terrific lad, making an empty show of strength in front of this progenitor? Really almost got bluffed by you! A mere Heavenly Emperor Realm also wants to reach the summit of rules? Do you really think that this progenitor grew up being frightened?��


    What kind of existence was Daymeld, it was naturally impossible for him to be intimidated by a few words.


    But he did not know that Ye Yuan was making use of precisely this mentality of his. That was why he would intentionally goad Daymeld.


    Ye Yuan was able to climb above 60,000 miles. This itself was extremely unusual already.


    If Daymeld was somewhat fearful and did not dare to come up, then Ye Yuan would have wasted all his previous efforts.


    But, as long as he goaded slightly, Daymeld would definitely think that he was maintaining the appearance of strength, and chase after.


    Sure enough, Daymeld fell for it.


    60,000 miles!


    65,000 miles!


    70,000 miles!


    When it reached 70,000 miles, Daymeld became more and more shocked.


    But he was still not willing to believe that Ye Yuan could really reach the top.


    Hence, he chose to continue pursuing


    71,000 miles!


    73,000 miles!


    When it reached 75,000 miles, Ye Yuan was still climbing.


    While at this time, it already became extremely strenuous for Daymeld to barge through the formations.


    All of a sudden, his heart thumped wildly, finally realizing that something was wrong.


    How could a mere Heavenly Emperor Realm possibly climb to a height of 75,000 miles?


    Furthermore, he discovered that ever since he entered Eight Void Mountain, the distance from Ye Yuan had been constantly shrinking, but had been within a manageable range all along.


    It was like, this was simply a trap!


    ��Not good! Could it be that this kid is really able to reach the top? No way! I can��t go up anymore! Otherwise, even if it��s me, I��ll be biting off more than I can chew too!��


    Daymeld��s expression changed wildly and he turned around and was about to leave.


    But right then, a burst of cold laughter came from behind him.


    ��Daymeld, you already climbed so high. You��re going to leave without resting for a bit?�� Ye Yuan said sarcastically.


    Daymeld��s expression was solemn as he said, ��Boy, you��re actually able to climb to the top of the mountain! This is impossible! However, even if you can reach the summit, it��s no use either. This is a dead formation! It can��t trap me!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, ��Is that so? Maybe it can��t kill you, but �� not making you lose three layers of skin today, you can forget about leaving!��


    Rumble!


    The entire Eight Void Mountain Range suddenly started trembling fiercely.


    Nine ghostly fires emitted a dazzling light at the top of the mountain.


    A terrifying aura instantly spread throughout the entire mountain range.


    Seeing this scene, Daymeld��s expression changed drastically, all the hairs on his body standing on end. A feeling of incredible danger welled up in his heart.


    ��This is impossible! You �� You activated the grand array? This is a rules grand array, how can you, a mere Heavenly Emperor Realm, possibly activate it?��


    The scene that happened before his eyes completely surpassed Daymeld��s imagination.


    A rules grand array was actually activated incomprehensibly just like this!


    Boom!


    The place where Daymeld was standing suddenly erupted with a terrifying explosion, and actually directly blasted Daymeld flying.


    This explosion came extremely suddenly, without any sound, but was extremely powerful.


    With Daymeld��s strength, he was actually unable to stop it.


    Boom!


    Bang, bang!


    Daymeld was in midair when another series of shocking explosions came over, blasting until Daymeld flew around everywhere extremely wretchedly.


    Each explosion sound carried a terrifying to the extreme power.


    Even ordinary Deva Fifth Blights would also be blown into smithereens under this explosion.


    This was the power of rules!


    Lin Wushuang��s figure appeared beside Ye Yuan quietly and he said in concern, ��Lord Saint Azure, your injury �� ��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and seethed with killing intent as he said, ��Won��t die! Of the divine race army, those who entered the range of the grand array, kill without mercy!��


    Lin Wushuang said respectfully, ��Yes!��


    He then saw Ye Yuan make a gesture. Immediately, the entire Eight Void Mountain��s restrictions seemed to be like boiling water, instantly boiling over.


    Horrifying explosion sounds sounded out everywhere on Eight Void Mountain Range.


    Those slightly weaker divine race and abyss monsters were directly blasted into flying ashes.


    In virtually an instant, more than half of the divine race army was killed or injured!


    How could the horror of a grand array of rules be described with words?


    Back then, Lin Wushuang used this grand array to kill the divine race until wails of doom filled the lands.


    At present, this scene was played out again under Ye Yuan��s careful planning!


    While at this time, the human race powerhouses were virtually all trembling.


    They were dumbstruck with amazement by this scene before their eyes.


    Apart from Ni Xuan and a few people, they completely did not expect that this Eight Void Mountain��s forbidden land actually became their place of heaven-defying turnaround!


    They only saw the divine race experts in front of them being blasted, becoming flesh and blood in a blink of an eye.


    This kind of power truly startled heaven and earth and even made gods and ghosts weep.


    While in another place, the unpredictable army led by Pang Zhen was already waiting until they were burning with fury.


    The moment Eight Void Mountain��s grand array erupted, Pang Zhen��s angry roar immediately spread throughout the three armies.


    ��Brother, charge back for me! Don��t let a single one of the Divine Children Legion��s bastards off!��


    ��Kill!��


    The unpredictable army��s power spread throughout the vast expanse of open ground all at once.


    Seeing one sworn brother after another die miserably under the Divine Children Legion��s besiegement, they had long already had a stomach pent up with anger.


    At this time, they finally exploded.


    Only to see each of the unpredictable legion��s warriors have blood-shot eyes, urging their speed to the extreme, pouncing over in the direction of the Divine Children Legion.


    At this time, the ten thousand people led by Wan Zhen were already left with just several hundred people, and they were still hanging on their lives bitterly.


    These several hundred people protected Wan Zhen in the middle. Even if they died, they were not willing to take half a step back too.


    Previously, Wan Zhen led his men in a charge, and he rushed in front alone.


    There were Nine-marks powerhouses injected in the Divine Children Legion too.


    Wan Zhen fought one-on-many, beheading all of the Divine Children Legion��s powerhouses. However, he himself was also just left with half a life.


    Just as they were on the brink of despair, battle cries suddenly shook the sky.


    The army led by Pang Zhen already rushed over!


    Fighting in close quarters, Pang Zhen attacked with fury, lightning source surging wildly, slapping more than a dozen divine children to death with a palm.


    The unpredictable army had an unstoppable momentum, completely suppressing the Divine Children Legion��s imposing momentum all at once.


    They fought one-on-many, coupled with attacking in rage, killing until the Divine Children Legion suffered a crushing defeat.


    �� ��


    On the upper echelons�� side, a silent explosion blew up, those initial-stage and middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouses instantly had a large number of them that was finished off.


    Even late-stage Nine-marks supreme powerhouses were also utterly routed under this horrifying explosion.


    Ni Xuan and the rest took advantage of the momentum to chase after them, slaughtering their enemies until the top experts of the divine race were completely powerless to fight back.


    The moment Eight Void Mountain��s grand array rose up, the situation instantly reversed!


    Coupled with that there were many coalition forces�� experts, fighting many-on-one, a large group of the powerhouses on the divine race��s side fell very quickly.


    Those divine race powerhouses who did not enter the range of the grand array were all secretly exhaling that they got lucky.

 Chapter 2427 - Great Victory!

    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The explosion sounds coming from the top of the mountain made everyone��s hearts palpitate.


    Someone as strong as Daymeld was actually blasted flying away here and there like a ball, without the slightest strength to fight back.


    The undulation of rules seemed to carry the might of Heavenly Dao, making people awed at the sight of it.


    Daymeld was blasted until he was a blurry mess of flesh and blood from head to toe. It was a dreadful sight to behold.


    Clearly, he was already seriously injured.


    This kind of terrifying undulation, Daymeld��s innards must have suffered tremendous shock.


    If not for his strength being too formidable, he would have long already been shocked into meat paste!


    ��What a pity. This isn��t when I was at my prime. Otherwise, he would be dead beyond a doubt.�� Beside Ye Yuan, Lin Wushuang said with a sigh.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s enough! Leave the rest to me!��


    Lin Wushuang said, ��Your Excellency��s advancement is a little slow. Otherwise, how could it be the divine race��s turn to behave wildly?��


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, ��Born in wrong times; what can be done about it?��


    Lin Wushuang��s body already became very illusory at this time and was actually looking like it was about to dissipate.


    He bowed to the ground and said, ��Your Excellency, the blood essence left behind by this disciple has been exhausted after this battle! In the future, this disciple won��t be able to follow Your Excellency. Your Excellency �� please take care!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered and he said, ��Destiny arises and fate extinguishes, maybe �� our fate is unfinished! If there��s reincarnation, this saint will let you return again!��


    Lin Wushuang��s entire body trembled and he said, ��Your Excellency, what do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m also not too clear. It��s just that I faintly sense something. Hope that what I sense isn��t wrong!��


    Lin Wushuang had a shocked expression on his face and exclaimed, ��Entering reincarnation is just a legend! No one knows where we go after death! With Your Excellency having a faint feeling from forces beyond control, it looks like you��ve already reached a realm that we can��t imagine! If there��s a chance to do it again, Lin Wushuang is willing to follow Your Excellency to the death!��


    Ye Yuan fell silent. Lin Wushuang��s figure gradually dissipated.


    There was no Grand Ancestor Skyformation in this world anymore!


    However, there was the legend of Grand Ancestor Skyformation!


    It was he who shed his heart blood ten billion years ago, laying down a heaven-shocking grand array overnight, blocking countless divine race experts.


    It was he who returned domineeringly ten billion years later, inflicting heavy casualties on the divine race army again!


    He performed immortal feats for the human race, for the myriad races!


    ��All of you just be at ease. I hope that one day, I can activate you all again!�� Ye Yuan said with a light sigh.


    If there was war, there was death.


    No one could change this.


    As soon as Lin Wushuang left, the grand array became a dead object.


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, he was unable to truly control the grand array at all.


    Daymeld was a ghastly sight from head to toe, but he laughed wildly as he said, ��Hahaha, brat, you can��t kill me in the end! Lin Wushuang is merely a wisp of blood essence having a sudden spurt of activity prior to collapse! What can he do to me?!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Daymeld and said coolly, ��The next time we meet is when I��ll take your dog life!��


    ��Brat, do you think �� there��s still a next time? I��m afraid that next time, who you��ll be facing will be my divine race��s various great progenitors!��


    After a bout of fierce struggling, Daymeld finally broke free from the constraints of the Eight Void Mountain��s grand array.


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s talent, he did not have the slightest doubt.


    Therefore, after this tragic battle, his dread towards Ye Yuan grew even stronger.


    Being able to awaken Lin Wushuang in itself, was absolutely not what the average person could do!


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    There were too many secrets hidden on this kid��s body.


    If he did not die, Daymeld could not relax!


    Leaving this sentence behind, Daymeld tore across the air and left.


    The grand array gradually subsided, restoring the peace of the past.


    In this battle, the myriad races coalition forces won a complete victory. More than half of the divine race army was killed or injured with their vitality being affected. They no longer had the strength to counterattack!


    The unpredictable army chased them for 30 thousand miles, and finally, the Divine Children Legion was completely wiped out!


    The myriad races coalition forces launched a counteroffensive frenziedly, causing less than one-in-ten of the divine race army to remain alive!


    Supreme powerhouses teamed up to pursue and attack. The divine race��s experts suffered heavy losses!


    The battle of Eight Void Mountain had far-reaching significance!


    However, everyone was clear in their hearts that the next battle would be even more dangerous!


    The confrontation between the top powerhouses of the two sides was the final battle to determine the ownership of the Heavenspan World.


    ��Hahaha �� awesome! Really awesome! Since the Doomsday Battle started until now, we��ve been unbelievably oppressed all along! Today, we can finally walk with our heads held high!�� Ni Xuan returned from killing the enemy and let out a burst of wild laughter.


    These few years, he had truly been frustrated to the extreme.


    The strength of the opponent, the allied forces each harbored their own ulterior motives, the weakness of the human race��s combat power, all made him mentally and physically exhausted.


    Fight a battle, lose a battle!


    Even if the number of the human army was hundreds and thousands of times that of the enemy army, there was virtually no victorious battle.


    But in today��s battle, they completely defeated the divine race! Was it not delightful?


    He looked towards that slightly thin young man on top of the mountain, admiring immensely!


    This was the Saint Azure of eternity!


    Shi Potian also laughed loudly and said, ��Those damn things of the divine race were arrogant to the extreme in the past! This time, seeing their appearance of covering their heads and scurrying away, it feels really awesome! Hahaha ����


    ��These damn things call us ants every day! This time, the ants bit an elephant to death too!��


    �� ��


    The various races�� powerhouses really felt exaltation upon fulfillment.


    They all looked towards that figure at the top of the mountain without prior agreement, their eyes full of admiration.


    It was him, who took every conceivable possibility into account, luring the divine race into the trap step by step.


    It was him, who climbed to the top of Eight Void Mountain, and activated the eternal grand array!


    Without him, there would not be this hearty victory!


    Suddenly Ni Xuan raised his arms and cried out, ��Lord Saint Azure is mighty!��


    The other leaders understood and similarly raised their arms and shouted.


    ��Lord Saint Azure is mighty!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is mighty!��


    �� ��


    The shouting grew higher than each previous wave!


    The entire Eight Void Mountain Range was seething with excitement!


    Thud!


    At the foot of Eight Void Mountain, Pang Zhen came over travel-worn and weary, directly kneeling on the ground as he said sobbingly, ��Your Excellency, save Wan Zhen! He �� He��s on his last legs!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, arriving at the foot of the mountain with a flash.


    It was only to see that on the ground, Wan Zhen was already just exhaling and not breathing in air any longer.


    In the previous battle, he virtually blocked the Divine Children Legion with his power alone to delay them, but he also suffered extremely severe injuries.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over, his expression easing up slightly and he said coolly, ��It��s okay. He won��t die!��


    Done talking, a medicinal pill entered his abdomen. Wan Zhen��s aura became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    They did not know how Lord Saint Azure had such terrifying alchemy path cultivation.


    Pang Zhen opened his eyes wide and he said with a shocked look, ��What �� What medicinal pill is this, it��s also too magical, right?��


    Following that, he used an expression like having seen a ghost to look at Ye Yuan again, and he said, ��Is there still something that Lord Saint Azure can��t do in this world?��


    In merely a moment��s time, Pang Zhen already sat up. His complexion was deathly pale. As he was about to bow to Ye Yuan, he was stopped by Ye Yuan.


    ��Many thanks for Your Excellency��s life-saving grace!�� Wan Zhen said.


    �� ��


    The myriad races coalition forces crushing the divine race army, this news immediately spread throughout the entire Heavenspan World like the wind!��


    The myriad races who were originally in a constant state of anxiety were inexplicably invigorated at this time.


    Everyone cheered joyfully, rejoicing in their victory.


    And Saint Azure��s great name also spread throughout the Heavenspan World in a very short time.


    It was Saint Azure who overcame the raging tides, and he saved the myriad races!

 Chapter 2428 - Name Spreading All Over the World!

    ��Who is Saint Azure? I never heard of him before at all!��


    ��Heh heh, you��re ignorant and ill-informed, right? This person is famous in the entire Heavenspan World! Although he��s only Heavenly Emperor Realm, his status is incomparably venerated!��


    ��Mn? Stop leaving us hanging, who the hell is it?��


    ��A few years ago, there was a big earthquake in the alchemy world. The Medicine Ancestor was defeated, and a new ancestor was established! A Heavenly Emperor Realm young man was conferred the title of ancestor by the entire alchemy world! Who do you still think that it can be?��


    Next to him, a group of people revealed shocked expressions, with looks of disbelief.


    No one could have thought that the Saint Azure who was famous throughout the Heavenspan World was actually Ancestor Ye, Ye Yuan!��


    A Heavenly Emperor Realm martial artist actually became the key figure of this world-destroying battle. So how could they not be surprised?


    At this time, hundreds of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses surrounded a middle-aged uncle with a dreadful appearance.


    This wretched-looking middle-aged uncle was called Bao Tiande, a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse too, making a living from selling information.


    His information was very accurate and had never made a mistake before. So people gave him the nickname of ��Bao Inquiry��.


    Bao Inquiry had always charged an extremely expensive fee. But this time, he had a rare free release of news, drawing a large group of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses to surround and look.


    Although these Heavenly Emperor powerhouses did not go to the front lines, they paid a lot of attention to the situation at the front lines.


    After all, a war of this scale affected their futures.


    A Heavenly Emperor said in disbelief, ��This is impossible! I admit that Ancestor Ye has a shocking talent in the alchemy path, but what strength does he have to repel the divine race army with his power alone? There are likely elements of exaggeration in-between this, right?��


    By the side, a Heavenly Emperor expert in coarse robes said with a nod, ��I think so too! To say that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets repelled the divine race alone, I still believe it. He, a puny little Heavenly Emperor Realm, based on what? Most likely, the news from the front snowballed the rumors, it��s too exaggerated!��


    ��Indeed so! Deva Fifth Blight is more like it. The impact of a Heavenly Emperor Realm on the war is too small. It��s simply impossible!��


    �� ��


    This news, they heard a lot about it in this period of time. But it could be said that there were none who really believed it.


    A Heavenly Emperor Realm influencing the war, this sort of thing was simply laughable.


    However, Bao Inquire had a sneer on his face and said, ��You bunch of ignorant guys, what the hell do you know! Lord Saint Azure ingeniously designed an interlinked plan, and he lured the divine race army to Eight Void Mountain! And he activated Eight Void Mountain��s rules grand array. The divine race members beneath Nine-marks were almost completely annihilated. Divine race��s commander-in-chief, Daymeld, was beaten until he almost died. Lord Saint Azure isn��t just an alchemy path master. But he��s similarly a formation path master! Furthermore, I even heard a rumor. It��s just that ����


    Bao Inquire��s words made everyone dumbstruck with amazement.


    They knew that the news coming out of Bao Inquire��s mouth was basically very real already.


    But the things that he said were too shocking.


    Eight Void Mountain��s grand array, everyone knew that it was unfathomable.


    Since time immemorial, no idea how many formation path powerhouses were unable to truly comprehend the grand array.


    But Ye Yuan re-activated the rules grand array!


    This kind of means was truly fantastical.


    The means above rules to deal with the divine race army was indeed more than enough.


    It was just that, wanting to achieve this step was far too difficult!


    However, Bao Inquire��s following words had whetted their appetites up.


    ��It��s just what? Hurry up and say!��


    ��Yeah, stop leaving us hanging! Could it be that there��s still even more explosive news?��


    �� ��


    Everyone urged Bao Inquire one after another, but Bao Inquire shook his head with a mysterious look and said, ��Forget it, forget it, not saying it. This news isn��t confirmed, I don��t dare to say nonsense.��


    Everyone almost vomited blood. Their appetites were stirred up. So how could they let it slide so easily?


    ��I say, you��re too much! It��s better you don��t talk at all! Don��t stop after saying it halfway! What the hell is this? Even if it isn��t real, you just say it, and we��ll listen and laugh it off after listening. Wouldn��t that do?��


    ��Yeah, Bao Inquire. If you don��t say it clearly today, we won��t let you leave!��


    �� ��


    This group of Heavenly Emperors was indignant, all saying it unhappily.


    Bao Inquire chuckled and said, ��Alright. Since that��s the case, then I��ll talk about this Lord Saint Azure! I heard, it��s merely just hearing of it!��


    The group of Heavenly Emperors perked their ears up, all paying close attention, afraid of missing the slightest detail.


    Lord Saint Azure��s name was already famous throughout the entire Heavenspan World now.


    Regarding his gossip, everyone was naturally very curious.


    Although these words were rumors, there was still some credibility coming out of Bao Inquire��s mouth.


    As Bao Inquire said, his expression also gradually became solemn.


    When the rest saw the situation, their hearts became even more somber.


    ��I heard that Lord Saint Azure awakened the rule powerhouse on Eight Void Mountain! Furthermore, this rule powerhouse seemed to knew Lord Saint Azure. The moment they met, he actually knelt down! Of course, this is merely just hearsay. There��s no way to prove!�� Bao Inquire said with a solemn look.


    Actually, he paid a huge price for this news, inquiring it from a formation path sovereign from Eight Void Mountain.


    This news still had some credibility.


    It was just that this news was too inconceivable. Even he felt that it was somewhat fake.


    Sure enough, the moment these words came out, the group of Heavenly Emperors burst into an uproar at once.


    ��What?! A rule powerhouse knelt toward a Heavenly Emperor Realm junior?��


    ��Bao Inquire, this joke of yours is too much!��


    ��Hahaha �� this joke is very funny! Bao Inquire, you��ve successfully made us laugh!��


    �� ��


    Everyone laughed loudly, but Bao Inquire did not laugh.


    The laughter of those Heavenly Emperor powerhouses gradually stopped. In the end, it became dry laughter.


    They knew that when Bao Inquire had this expression, he had always been very serious.


    Which was also to say that he was not joking!


    A Heavenly Emperor said, ��C-Cough cough, Bao Inquire, this wouldn��t be real, right? B-But this is also too nonsensical!��


    Bao Inquire shook his head and said, ��Not sure, but it isn��t a groundless rumor! Although Eight Void Mountain can��t be compared to the past right now, there are still some people comprehending the Dao on the mountain. For this matter, I spent a lot of effort to go and inquire. In the end, those who came down the mountain all remained silent and said nothing. If it was really a joke, their expression wouldn��t have been like that! Furthermore, there��s one more thing!��


    With this, no one laughed anymore.


    If it was really a joke, those who came down the mountain would definitely have laughed it off.


    Their expressions would definitely have been completely different.


    At least, the reaction should have been the same as theirs just now.


    Each of them held their breaths, listening to what Bao Inquire had to say next.


    ��Fifth Blight, Heavenly Emperor Yue Feng, knelt down in front of Lord Saint Azure��s camp door and didn��t get up! According to what I know, he was comprehending on the Dao on the mountain back at that time! And he was the only Fifth Blight powerhouse on the mountain back then! A Fifth Blight powerhouse kneeling and not getting up, do you all know what that means?�� Bao Inquire said.


    ��Hiss ����


    There were sounds of cold air being sucked in all around.


    The news that Bao Inquire told them were too shocking.


    Heavenly Emperor Yue Feng��s great name, who did not know?


    In Formation Dao, he was enough to rank in the top ten!


    But it was this level of a powerhouse who actually knelt down in front of Ye Yuan��s camp and did not get up!

 Chapter 2429 - Where Righteousness Lies

    In front of the camp, Pang Zhen came beside Yue Feng and said neither obsequiously nor haughtily, ��You don��t need to kneel anymore. His Excellency said that if you really want to repent, follow Lord Ni Xuan. Go into battles to kill the enemy and defend the human race.��


    The current Pang Zhen was proud but not arrogant.


    In the past, he relied on Ancestor Lightning��s prestige, and he considered everything and everyone beneath his notice.


    Now, he was relying on his own merits to turn his nose up at the world.


    As Ye Yuan��s right-hand man, he could regard any powerhouse in this world as an equal.


    He had a powerful background and also proud feats.


    When Yue Feng saw Pang Zhen, his pupils could not help shrinking slightly and he said, ��You �� You��re Ancestor Lightning��s descendant?��


    Pang Zhen nodded and said, ��That��s right, my ancestor is precisely the Ancestor of Lightning!��


    Yue Feng sucked in a cold breath. How revered was the status of Ancestor Lightning��s status? Yet, Pang Zheng was actually willing to be a pawn under Ye Yuan!


    His awe toward Saint Azure was entirely due to his ancestral teachings.


    Although he witnessed Ye Yuan��s means, he still did not dare to believe that a dignified Dao Ancestor would actually do this sort of thing that lowered his own status.


    Dao Ancestor was different from Lin Wushuang!


    Lin Wushuang was merely a dead rule powerhouse, while Dao Ancestors were living sovereigns!


    ��I know what you��re thinking. His Excellency as Saint Azure of eternity created the human race��s ten billion years of prosperity single handedly! Even Ancestor also have to call Lord Saint Azure respectfully in front of him! If you want to atone for your crime by meritorious actions, let go of your pride of Fifth Blight, and go to the front lines to kill the enemy! In the future, there will naturally be your meritorious deeds. If you remain impenitent, heh heh, even the Jade Emperor can��t save you too!�� Finished saying, Pang Zhen left with his hands behind his back.


    Yue Feng��s expression was very ugly. But he was very clear about Saint Azure��s influence at present.


    Perhaps his individual combat power was not strong, but all of the Fifth Blight powerhouses in this camp obeyed Saint Azure��s command.


    The battle previously really shocked him.


    Producing clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another, it was talking about Ye Yuan, right!


    Overcoming the raging tides with his power alone, devastating the divine race.


    This outstanding feat was sufficient to be circulated through the ages!


    This Doomsday Battle was not over yet, if the human race was defeated in the end, everything naturally did not need to be discussed anymore.


    But if the human race won in the end, then Ye Yuan��s stats would be passed down forever!


    At that time, not just the human race, the myriad races had to submit themselves at his feet too!


    Ye Yuan would be a living eternal saint!


    His Deva Fifth Blight was indeed very impressive, but in front of Ye Yuan, he did not even count as anything.


    In this world where the strong reigned supreme, strength was everything.


    However, Ye Yuan already surpassed this level. His status could shake everything!


    Just based on him having offended Ye Yuan before, he would have no way of continuing in the human race at all.


    At that time, however vast the world was, there would be no place to accommodate him!


    This consequence was too terrifying!


    He never thought that his momentary curiosity actually caused such a big trouble.


    Therefore, he let go of the pride of a Fifth Blight and knelt in front of Ye Yuan��s camp.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of seeing him at all.


    Looking at Pang Zhen��s back view, Yue Feng could not help being absent-minded.


    He and Pang Zhen had similarities.


    But he and Pang Zhen walked toward two extremes.


    One was respected by thousands.


    One was reviled by thousands!


    ��Could it be that �� I was really wrong?�� Yue Feng muttered.


    No idea how long passed either, Yue Feng slowly got up and walked in the direction of the central army camp.


    �� ��


    ��Lord Saint Azure, Yue Feng already knelt for three days and three nights outside the camp, really don��t need to care about him?�� Ni Xuan said.


    He was a Deva Fifth Blight sovereign after all. It was impossible for them to ignore it.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Time can smoothen out everything. Many people avoid and do not fight. I don��t blame them. But his ancestor experienced that era, and yet he ignored the life and death of his own people. I can��t forgive it! I know that there are similarly many people among you all who are puzzled. But if you all experienced Saint Profound��s death, you wouldn��t have this kind of thoughts. The Jian Family��s 100 people sacrificed their lives heroically for a cause. How moving and tragic was it? All of them chose death at the peak of their lives!��


    ��Azure and Profound Dual Saints? In my opinion, it should be Profound and Azure Dual Saints! Saint Profound��s merits are above mine! This Saint traveled through spacetime and only left behind legacies. But Saint Profound, what he left behind is a cluster of inextinguishable kindling of the spirit! Where righteousness lies, his will is still alive even if tens of thousands die! A sovereign of his generation, sacrificing his life for justice, forging an eternal great cause! This is a true powerhouse!��


    ��How do you all think the 18 grand ancestors reached the peak of rules? By relying on the legacies that I left behind? No! Because Saint Profound imprinted two words in each of their hearts: righteous cause! It��s these two words that encouraged them to continuously become stronger, and reach an unprecedented peak of the human race! It��s also these two words that led them to fight the divine race fiercely, not resting till they are dead! And after them, there were no more rule powerhouses. The reason similarly lies here!��


    Talking until the back, a trace of mist actually spun around in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    Many people lowered their heads in shame. Who Ye Yuan was talking about was not just Yue Feng, but it was also the vast majority of the people present.


    Although this battle was won, the majority of the myriad races�� powerhouses present were compelled by circumstances and had no choice but to fight.


    There were few who truly fought because of a righteous cause.


    Who Saint Profound saved was not just the human race!


    Their predecessors had also once fought side-by-side with the human race, fighting to the death without resting.


    But then, everything had changed.


    ��Your Excellency, this subordinate is ashamed!�� Ni Xuan said with a look of shame.


    He could feel Ye Yuan��s current mood fluctuations.


    And this was rarely seen in Ye Yuan.


    Being able to make Lord Saint Azure have such fluctuations, it could be seen how much that scene touched him.


    And Saint Profound��s merits, no one could erase it.


    ��Your Excellency, we were wrong!��


    �� ��


    The group of powerhouses apologized one after another.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Forget it. The past is over! No matter how much this saint talks, I can��t imprint these two words in your hearts too. In this lifetime, this saint can only do what I can and leave it to fate.��


    Circumstances change with the passing of time, human hearts were not what they were in the old days.


    Ye Yuan was also speaking his mind earlier, he knew that these words did not sink in for everyone.


    Words were feeble at times.


    Without the infection of that occasion, no matter how much was said, it was useless too.


    Everyone lowered their heads in shame, not daring to speak.


    Ni Xuan saw that the scene was rather awkward and spoke up, ��Your Excellency, after this battle, the divine race no longer has the power to fight back, what should we do next?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Follow up a victory with hot pursuit, recapture lost ground, and drive the divine race back to the abyss!��


    When everyone heard that, they were extremely surprised.


    A leader said, ��Your Excellency, this �� isn��t appropriate, right? If we anger the divine race��s progenitors, there will be no way to clean up the mess!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly when he heard that and said, ��I think that you all are mistaken. It��s not that the divine race��s progenitors aren��t enraged. It��s actually that they dread Dao Ancestors. That��s why they didn��t make a move! Do you all think that you can sleep in peace after winning this battle? Now, is when the Doomsday Battle truly begins! The moment of Heavenly Dao Samsara is the start of our various race��s true disaster! Have you all forgotten Daymeld��s mocking laughter? The moment the divine race��s progenitors make a move, you all can only be cannon fodders too! Therefore, don��t harbor the mentality of getting lucky!��

 Chapter 2430 - : Battling Daymeld Again!

    ��Satisfying! Satisfying! Hahaha �� Saint Azure deserves to be Saint Azure. This battle is really fought invigoratingly and free from inhibitions!��


    When Profound Secrets heard the news of the big victory at the front, he laughed loudly without ceasing.


    Nothing was more uplifting than this news.


    The divine race suddenly launched a decisive battle. Each and every one of them, these big shots were still very worried.


    Although the coalition forces�� numbers were high, Profound Secrets was clear in his heart that they were all a bunch of paper paste.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually overcame the raging tides with his power alone, making use of Eight Void Mountain��s grand array to kill the divine race until they were completely routed.


    However, this was only the beginning. The battlefield report of the victory at the front flew over like snowflakes.


    After the myriad races coalition force crushed the divine race army, they followed up the victory with hot pursuit, sweeping across the land of Western Realms!


    At present, the coalition forces already fought to the vicinity of the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms, almost going to send the divine race back to the abyss!


    This kind of result was what all of the big shots completely did not expect previously.


    The current coalition forces were completely crazy from fighting, winning battle after battle.


    But by the side, Shang Hang had tears flowing down his old face as he said, ��If Lord Saint Azure could have stayed in the last epoch back then, how great would it have been? Many of us, these old fellows, would have been able to survive.��


    Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��If Lord Saint Azure could have stayed in the last epoch, maybe it wouldn��t have anything to do with you all anymore! Everything is long already destined. Why does Senior bear it in mind?��


    Shang Hang nodded and said, ��Yeah! If we give Lord Saint Azure the time to grow up, with his talent, fusing several kinds of top laws, who can be his match? Sigh, it��s just a shame, Lin Wushuang that old thing is completely dead now!��


    Everyone was silent when they heard it. He also felt that it was somewhat vapid and said again with a smile, ��Oh, right, calculating it now, Lord Saint Azure shouldn��t be far from breaking through to Deva Realm, right?��


    Profound Secrets was taken aback and said with a nod, ��With his talent, it should be about time. It��s just that �� with the strength of his power of laws, the Deva blight tribulation will likely �� be quite terrifying!��


    With him saying so, everyone��s expressions became solemn again.


    Shang Hang frowned and said, ��This old man had a hairsbreadth escape when transcending the Deva blight tribulation back then! After transcending the tribulation, I was weak for a full 3000 years before recovering! Lord Saint Azure already fused time, space, and sword, three great laws. His combat power is even strong until it makes people feel chills. The power of the blight tribulation will likely be ten times, even a hundred times of this old man��s!��


    Silence again!


    Since time immemorial, how many major powers died before the blight tribulation.


    Even a powerhouse like Shang Hang had a close shave too and almost did not pull through.


    The stronger one��s strength was, the more terrifying the blight tribulation.


    Hence, they all knew that Ye Yuan��s blight tribulation would be terrifying to the extreme.


    This was the enormous gulf that blocked in front of Ye Yuan!


    Fighting with people, Ye Yuan could mow down all resistance.


    Then, if fighting with the heaven?


    �� ��


    ��Your Excellency, I see that your cultivation realm is getting looser and looser these days. It��s clearly almost time to break through! We can��t chase anymore, otherwise, once the Deva blight tribulation arrives, it will be dangerous!�� On the battlefield, Wan Zhen urged.


    Ever since Eight Void Mountain��s battle, nearly a year had passed.


    In this one year, the unpredictable army experienced countless major and minor battles.


    Under the fierce fighting, Ye Yuan��s comprehension became increasingly deeper, and he already had an idea in his heart with regards to the next realm.


    Right now, Ye Yuan��s realm was very volatile. Clearly, he was about to break through soon.


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan should find a place to go into closed-seclusion at this time and face the life-and-death great tribulation.


    Deva blight tribulation was also called life-and-death great tribulation.


    Because the Heavenly Emperor powerhouses that fell at this step were really far too many!


    Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen already urged Ye Yuan many times, but Ye Yuan refused to listen and clung obstinately to his own course.


    After a year, the unpredictable army already grew into an invincible army. Their combat effectiveness and fighting will were terrifyingly strong.


    Along with the passage of time, there were more and more unpredictable children in this army who already broke through to Deva Realm.


    Currently, this army was also not the least bit timid when facing off against middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouses.


    Therefore, when the current unpredictable army encountered the divine race, it was virtually advancing unreasonably all the way, mowing down all resistance.


    When the divine race army saw the unpredictable army, they did not dare to confront head-on at all and would turn tail and run at the fastest speed.


    ��We have been chasing Daymeld for more than half a month. This time, we finally managed to corner him. We can��t give up halfway. Once this guy runs back to the abyss, it will be difficult to want to kill him again,�� Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    The moment Wan Zhen heard this, he became anxious and said, ��Daymeld is nothing compared to you! Your safety is the human race��s greatest affair!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, it won��t get in the way!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan took the lead and flew away.


    Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of worry.


    They could feel that Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was around the corner.


    If he were to break through to Deva blight tribulation in the midst of battle, wouldn��t this be seeking death?


    Heaven rewarded the faithful. The unpredictable army finally cut Daymeld off this time!


    Daymeld suffered serious wounds in Eight Void Mountain��s grand array. Furthermore, fleeing all the way, his injuries showed signs of even worse deterioration.


    After all, under the power of rules, injuries were not that easy to get better.


    If not for Daymeld��s strength being powerful, he would have long died ten times over.


    However, Daymeld was very cunning too. Along the way, his escape route was very strange. Ye Yuan they all pursued many times, but he slipped away.


    ��Daymeld, we meet again!�� Ye Yuan looked at Daymeld and said coldly.


    Daymeld��s expression was very ugly and he said in a deep voice, ��You brat, really lingering on relentlessly!��


    His current combat power was at most equal to peak initial-stage Nine-marks. Furthermore, it was unable to last long.


    Being blocked by Ye Yuan was a very dangerous thing.


    Ye Yuan said with a cold snort, ��How many human powerhouses�� lives have your hands been stained with? Letting you leave, I��ll find it hard to rest easy!��


    Daymeld smiled coldly and said, ��Just a bunch of ants. If killed, then they are killed! Do you think that with the likes of you, you can hold me? Eh, you��re about to break through? Hahaha �� brat, you really don��t know life from death! With your talent, the Deva blight tribulation must be extremely terrifying, right? You don��t find a place to go into closed-seclusion now, but come hunt me down, really courting death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, I��m still a hair��s breadth away from breaking through! Finding you can just nice help me to break through the bottleneck!��


    Daymeld laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha, my pleasure! Brat, I��ll lend you a helping hand!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Leave Daymeld to me. I��ll leave the others to you. You don��t have to say anything now. I��ve decided!��


    Wan Zhen still wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Yuan sternly.


    This remnant division that Daymeld brought still had many powerhouses and needed Wan Zhen they all to deal with.


    Battle cries shook the sky. The two armies clashed together.


    While in the army, Ye Yuan and Daymeld faced each other from afar.


    Daymeld laughed hard and said, ��Brat, you��re really too proud. Proud until you think nothing of Heavenly Dao! Today, I��ll send you off, let you die at your own hands! Heavenly Dao True Martial, Unparalleled Iron Arms, Shrinking Earth into an Inch, activated!��


    This was his second Heavenly Dao True Martial!


    Boom!


    Daymeld threw a punch out, carrying the might of Heavenly Dao True Martial, terrifying to the extreme.


    ��Sword, come!�� Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned. The Sword of Spacetime was already in his hand.


    The great battle was at an explosive point!

 Chapter 2431 - Who Told You That I Have to Transcend the Deva Blight Tribulation?

    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    �� ��


    Above the void, came a series of rumbling sounds.


    The powerful force fought until space trembled in waves.


    Although Daymeld��s cultivation realm fell, his strength was placed there.


    Coupled with two Heavenly Dao True Martials, his strength skyrocketed, and he was locked in a struggle with Ye Yuan.


    Under the meeting of karmic fate, the human and divine, two great camps�� chief commanders, finally clashed together.


    Daymeld activated Heavenly Dao True Martial, a pair of iron fists akin to two drumsticks, pounding the horizon until it rent the air.


    Ye Yuan��s Sword of Spacetime could cut everything in the world.


    But it could not cut Daymeld��s pair of iron fists.


    Daymeld was deserving of being a progenitor class figure. Even if his realm fell, he was also not what anyone could bully.


    In fact, he even overpowered Ye Yuan in terms of strength.


    The cooperation of two great Heavenly Dao True Martials was truly formidable to the extreme.


    ��Brat, you��re really very strong! Although this progenitor��s realm fell, ordinary Deva Second Blights are absolutely not my match too. But you can actually fight to a draw with me! You can be sufficiently proud. If you went into closed-seclusion and cultivated, transcending the Deva blight tribulation, you��ll definitely be able to beat me! It��s a pity, you��re too stupid! Hahaha ���� Daymeld said with a big laugh.


    He could feel that Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm already showed signs of breaking through the soil under his powerful pressure.


    Becoming stronger in battle, only Ye Yuan this sort of peerless genius could do it.


    Except, the current breakthrough was a life-and-death great tribulation to Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan himself also had this feeling that his cultivation realm was already almost breaking through uncontrollably.


    In this one year, Ye Yuan had been continuously searching for himself in the midst of battle, perfecting the next realm of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    At present, it was already time for the melon to fall off its stem when it was ripe.


    Daymeld��s powerful offensive made Ye Yuan��s World Realm become more and more complete.


    Boom!


    Finally, the cultivation realm could no longer be stopped. Endless spiritual energy surged over here frenziedly.


    The breakthrough started!


    Unpredictable army, everyone��s expressions changed wildly.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan actually broke through so quickly.


    ��Not good! His Excellency broke through so quickly! This �� What to do about this?�� Wan Zhen exclaimed.


    Pang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, ��This guy, he wouldn��t listen no matter how we persuaded! Damn it, transcending the tribulation at the last moment, what difference is there from seeking death? Everyone, listen to the command! Ignore the others! Pledge to protect His Excellency to the death!��


    Under his word of command, the army of several tens of thousands flew over to Ye Yuan that side crazily like locusts.


    ��No need to care about me. Do your own things properly!�� Ye Yuan��s low voice came over.


    The faces of Wan Zhen and the rest changed wildly and they said, ��Your Excellency!��


    ��What? My words aren��t useful anymore?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    With him frowning, he radiated awe without being angry.


    At present, he was the supreme authority in the unpredictable army.


    A word carrying the weight of nine tripods!


    ��Sigh!�� Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen let out long sighs, and could only charge towards the enemy army again.


    When Daymeld saw this scene, he let out a burst of even louder laughter and said, ��Kid, your talent is really too terrifying! Your improvement can really be seen even using the naked eye. However, it ends here! Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan breaking through, the commotion was seriously too big.


    Just the gathering of heaven and earth spiritual energy needed to take a lot of time.


    This place was the land of Western Realms, the spiritual energy was not rich.


    But Ye Yuan��s breakthrough already came into contact with Heavenly Dao. Not accumulating enough spiritual energy, he would not give up.


    Ye Yuan carried the berserk spiritual energy and was locked in battle with Daymeld.


    Originally, Daymeld could still overpower him.


    Now, Ye Yuan coming into contact with Heavenly Dao, he was already evenly matched with Daymeld.


    Furthermore, he got stronger the more he fought!


    Rumble!


    Ye Yuan��s small world also had a huge commotion at this time. Black and yellow two energies became more and more refined.


    Although Ye Yuan��s current realm was World Realm, it did not form a true world.


    Accurately speaking, his world was actually just dividing chaos into two.


    Chaos was still chaos.


    But, after Ye Yuan��s so many years of cultivation, these two regions of chaos gradually became pure, having their own color.


    Heaven was black energy, and earth was yellow energy.


    At this time, the black energy became more and more blue, while the yellow energy became more and more turbid.


    Heaven and earth became more and more distinct from each other!


    This was the real heaven and earth.


    Of course, this process evolved very slowly.


    At the outside world, Ye Yuan��s battle with Daymeld also became increasingly fiercer.


    Daymeld was originally still laughing loudly without ceasing. But the more he fought, the more alarmed he got, and the more puzzled he became.


    Logically speaking, the Deva blight tribulation should have started long ago. But why did Ye Yuan seem to not have any happenings at all?


    Deva blight tribulation was the tribulation of Heavenly Dao; terrifying to the extreme.


    When the blight tribulation erupted, the physical body of the martial artist would decay crazily. At the same time, it would even be accompanied by lightning tribulation, fire tribulation, tribulation of mental demon, so on and so forth. The current situation was complicated to the extreme.


    It could be said that this was a one-time eruption.


    The goal was to kill you!


    Of course, there was also powerful Heavenly Dao power mixed in this. As long as the martial artist pulled through, they would be like carps leaping over the dragon gate, their strength scaling new heights.


    However, apart from drawing incomparably colossal spiritual energy over at Ye Yuan there, there was not the slightest sign of crossing the tribulation.


    As steady as Mount Tai!


    Not only did Ye Yuan��s current body not decay, but it also became stronger and stronger instead.


    This was also too weird!


    The battle over here naturally affected the hearts of the unpredictable army.


    Wan Zhen and the rest also waited for a long time. In the end, they discovered that Ye Yuan did not have any happenings at all, and could not help feeling very strange.


    ��Odd, it��s been close to two hours since His Excellency started breaking through. Why doesn��t there seem to be any signs of decay at all?�� Wan Zhen said.


    Pang Zhen also had a strange expression as he said, ��Decay? Didn��t you notice? His Excellency��s aura is currently soaring crazily, it doesn��t feel like he��s transcending the Deva blight tribulation, but experiencing Deva strengthening!��


    They had both already experienced the Deva blight tribulation and were deeply aware of the horror of the blight tribulation.


    Once they crossed the tribulation, the martial artist would directly enter a period of weakness, unable to face the enemy at all.


    But Ye Yuan seemed to have been strengthened by Heavenly Dao, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying.


    This kind of Deva blight tribulation, it was still their first time seeing.


    Daymeld��s expression became uglier and uglier, and he said with a furious roar, ��Why hasn��t your Deva blight tribulation started yet? With your strength, the Deva blight tribulation should be very terrifying!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Daymeld pitiably and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Who told you that I need to transcend the Deva blight tribulation?��


    Daymeld��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��This is impossible! Each human has to transcend the tribulation. You also cultivate the small world. So how can you possibly not transcend the tribulation?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Kicking up a fuss over nothing! Don��t your divine race not need to transcend the tribulation?��


    The divine race only cultivated Heavenly Dao, strengthening themselves with Heavenly Dao, and did not need to cross the tribulation.


    Apart from this, all races had to transcend the Deva blight tribulation!


    And this was also one of their capital to stand above myriad races.


    But Ye Yuan clearly cultivated the small world but did not need to cross the tribulation. This sort of thing was too fantastical.


    Daymeld could not help being shocked.


    There were really too many uncertainties on this young human!


    He used common sense to gauge Ye Yuan, thinking that Ye Yuan would cross the Deva blight tribulation and die.


    But he forgot. Ye Yuan this person could not be gauged using common sense at all!

 Chapter 2432 - Strangers When Meeting Again!

    Ye Yuan��s small world was undergoing earth-shaking changes.


    Black energy metamorphosed. The sun and moon, as well as the constellations, began to gradually take shape.


    On the earth, mountains and lakes were also being derived from the yellow energy.


    The outline of a great world was currently slowly taking shape.


    The chaos world that was initially without the slightest life had now started to glow with vigorous vitality.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan truly felt the power of the world!


    That sort of surging world power, made his strength soar in an instant.


    This kind of strength gave him the feeling of having everything under control.


    In this world, he was the absolute master, a paramount existence!


    This surging sense of power made him have a feeling of being able to blow everything up.


    Clearly, Daymeld also sensed the surge of Ye Yuan��s power!


    Not just him, everyone present felt it.


    This power was too terrifying!


    Daymeld��s complexion was ashen as he said in shock, ��You �� Just what kind of cultivation method are you cultivating? This sort of power increase is definitely not Deva First Blight!��


    Judging from Ye Yuan��s current aura, he was no idea how many times stronger than Deva First Blight.


    The gap was indeed very large between Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor and Deva First Blight. But it was absolutely not large until Ye Yuan��s extent.


    Hence, that was why Daymeld would be so shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s current strength was sufficient to rival Deva Second Blight powerhouses!


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s terrifying law attainments, his combat power approached middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouses.


    Before breaking through, Ye Yuan��s combat power was already on par with Daymeld.


    Now, killing him was merely a matter of lifting a hand.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You don��t need to care about what cultivation method. Either way, what can kill you is a good cultivation method! Alright, I can send you on your way now!��


    The Sword of Spacetime lit up, a chill was revealed.


    Daymeld��s expression changed drastically, he knew that he could not block Ye Yuan��s next attack!


    A feeling of despair spread in his heart.


    In the last epoch, he fought against several Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight human sovereigns alone, and he could preserve his life.


    In this life, he originally wanted to bring the divine race army to crush the human race.


    Who would have expected that in the end, he actually ended up with the outcome of perishing and his Dao dissipating!


    This result was something that he had never thought of before.


    In his view, the present human race, there was already no one who could kill him apart from Dao Ancestors.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, this level of a sovereign, wanting to kill him head-on was basically impossible too.


    But he never thought that he would actually die in the hands of a junior!


    Whoosh!


    The moment the cold light appeared, a large gap was directly torn apart in space.


    The void seemed to have been directly sliced in half!


    That sort of sharpness was simply irresistible.


    Daymeld��s pupils constricted, casting Shrinking Earth into an Inch without the slightest hesitation.


    But this sword contained profound power of spacetime. How could it be what the current him could evade?


    In a blink, the sword��s edge already arrived!


    It looked as if Daymeld was about to be cut in half.


    But right at this critical moment, a beautiful figure suddenly walked out of the void.


    Only to see the arrival cast a palm over. A formidable force actually collided head-on with the Sword of Spacetime.


    Boom!


    The void trembled, the two people were each repelled back.


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and said, ��You finally still came.��


    The arrival nodded slightly and said, ��Yes, I have to come after all. Daymeld can��t die!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��I��m really not used to you talking like this.��


    But the arrival said indifferently, ��You��ll get used to it in the end. There will come a day when you and I will meet on the battlefield. If you don��t get used to it, you��ll die!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��You really bear to make a move against me?��


    The arrival did not carry the slightest emotion as she said, ��The past has been severed. There isn��t any cannot bear it.��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said firmly, ��I��ll bring you back!��


    The arrival said coolly, ��I��m still me. It��s just that I��m not the me in the past. How �� will you bring me back?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly somewhat fell dispirited and waved his hand and said, ��You guys leave!��


    The arrival did not have the slightest nostalgia, turning around and bringing Daymeld away.


    Everyone in the unpredictable army looked at this scene with shocked faces, being uncertain of what it meant.


    But His Excellency already spoke up. So they naturally did not dare to stop.


    Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in the other person��s eyes.


    They had never seen such a His Excellency before!


    In their impression, His Excellency had always been calm and composed. He never showed mercy to the enemy.


    But facing that woman who covered her face with a light gauze just now, His Excellency actually did not make a move.


    Furthermore, it looked like the two of them were old acquaintances. Furthermore, the feelings were not shallow.


    How did Lord Saint Azure know a woman from the divine race?


    Ye Yuan watched that figure disappear into the horizon. His body seemed incomparably lonely and melancholic.


    Even though a light gauze was covering her face and she was executing a pure Heavenly Dao True Martial, Ye Yuan still recognized this woman with one glance.


    Because she was none other than precisely Yue Mengli!


    Ye Yuan did not think that he broke through at the last moment and just as he was about to kill Daymeld, it was actually his beloved who suddenly rushed over and rescued him.


    He was not surprised, but he was heartbroken.


    That sort of indifference and resoluteness was like a knife, continuously gouging the flesh of Ye Yuan��s heart.


    As early as when he brought Nineorigin back, Ye Yuan already knew that Li-er was no longer the original Li-er.


    She accepted the baptism of the god statues and already became a true divine daughter!


    Furthermore, Li-er��s talent was very suitable for the divine race��s cultivation method. Her cultivation speed was extremely fast and had long already reached the level of Nine-marks.


    Judging from the strength that Yue Mengli displayed earlier, her combat power was not the least bit inferior to Ye Yuan��s.


    The speed of her improvement could be imagined.


    Actually, this was also something that Ye Yuan had always been worried about.


    Ever since he regained his memories, he had been reluctant to face this issue head-on.


    Nineorigin��s appearance left him no choice but to think about this problem.


    Since Nineorigin brought Li-er away, he definitely had a way to make her a divine daughter.


    Otherwise, what did he expend so much effort for?


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not think of any method that the divine race had that could wipe away the feelings between him and Yue Mengli.


    But, the moment when he brought Nineorigin back, he finally knew.


    The divine race��s eight lineages, each lineage possessed a totem god statue.


    These eight god statues were the foundation of the divine race!


    And these eight god statues were precisely those eight that Ye Yuan saw back then at the Hidden Lineage!


    It was just that those were reproductions of the eight lineages�� progenitors, and they were not the god statues�� true bodies.


    Divine race members that experienced the baptism of the god statues would be irredeemably committed to the divine race.


    Or should he say, this person had a strong sense of pride and belonging to the divine race?


    But this was not an ordinary method of control.


    Apart from being most loyal to the divine race, this person even retained their original emotions.


    Pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy, not one was lacking, they were no different from ordinary people.


    Ye Yuan learned from Nineorigin that Li-er was no longer that Li-er before.


    Under his rage, Ye Yuan killed Nineorigin without hesitation.


    But, this could not make up for the wound in his heart.


    All the way until he saw Li-er again today, Ye Yuan��s heart hurt like a knife was twisting in.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan actually fell stiffly backward.


    Wan Zhen and the rest turned pale with fright and hurriedly went up to support Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2433 - You Are Not Qualified Enough Yet!

    ��Slander! You all are slandering blatantly here! At present, the outcome is a foregone conclusion! Do you all plan on casting him out now that he has served his purpose?�� In the great all, came Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s furious roar.


    This hall was located on the side of Heavenspan Mountain, the Bodhidharma of Dao Ancestor Life.


    At this time, the hall was packed, each person��s aura was heaven-shocking.


    There was actually not a single person��s strength who was lower than Fifth Blight!


    Even the human army��s commander, the Deva Fifth Blight, Ni Xuan, was also merely seated at the back.


    Above the great hall, Dao Ancestor Life was situated in the head seat, overlooking the world.


    Facing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� roars, he just said coolly, ��Profound Secrets, you calm down first. Letting Daymeld go under the watchful gazes of everyone, this matter, Ye Yuan got to give everyone an explanation, right?��


    Profound Secrets sneered and said, ��Give an explanation? What explanation do you want? Did you forget who this world was captured by? When Ye Yuan escaped death by a hair��s breadth on the battlefield, where were you all, these Dao Ancestors? When Ye Yuan��s beloved was abducted by the divine race, where were you all? Now, you all are finding Ye Yuan to ask for an explanation? What a joke!��


    The current Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was without the slightest demeanor of an expert, already furious to the extreme.


    After Yue Mengli took Daymeld away, the Doomsday Battle finally came to a conclusion.


    This battle ended with the complete victory of the coalition forces.


    The divine race no longer had the strength to fight.


    What remained was the life-and-death duel between the experts of the two races.


    And right at this time, the situation on the human race��s side changed drastically.


    Dao Ancestor Life suddenly launched an attack by using the incident of Ye Yuan letting Daymeld off as the reason and demanded Ye Yuan to be relieved of all duties.


    And they stripped Ye Yuan of the title of Saint Azure on the charge of colluding with the enemy!


    This farce today gathered the upper echelons of the Heavenspan World��s various races, to discuss it at this time.


    Dismissing Ye Yuan from his post was very easy.


    But stripping Ye Yuan of the title of Saint Azure, the implications of this was too big and needed the recognition of all races before it could be passed.


    The title of Azure and Profound two saints, illuminated through the ages.


    Wanting to strip this title, how difficult was it?


    But, the organizer was the head of the nine great Dao Ancestors, Dao Ancestor Life.


    This was different.


    No matter how resounding the name of Saint Azure was, he was currently merely just a junior.


    But Dao Ancestors were existences standing at the pinnacle-most of this world!


    But Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets did not care that much.


    He was the son of Saint Profound, the master of the Jian Family, and also one of the major powers of the Heavenspan World.


    Therefore, when Dao Ancestor Life raised this matter, he was the first to come forward and object to it.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was very agitated, but Dao Ancestor Life was very calm as he said smilingly, ��Huhu, how much effect can the divine race��s ordinary clansmen have on the Doomsday Battle? You say that his contributions are unparalleled? Isn��t it overly exaggerating things to raise an alarm? Even if the divine race army completely occupies the Heavenspan World, what does it matter to existences of our level?��


    He was indeed unparalleled and domineering when he said this.


    But what he said was also the truth!


    Ordinary divine race armies were simply ant-like existences to them, these Dao Ancestors.


    No matter how many, it was useless too!


    His light and fluttering sentence erased all of Ye Yuan��s contributions.


    ��Yeah. If not for the three of us severely wounding Tian Qing at the risk of death, how can there be space for Ye Yuan to showcase himself? Of course, the three of us have long already become indifferent to fame and gain, and disdain to fight over it with a junior. That��s all. But he actually colluded with the divine race and let a formidable enemy go! We can��t turn a blind eye to it anymore!�� Ancestor Fire with crimson-colored hair said in a deep voice.


    ��What Ancestor Fire said is right! To really talk about contributions, the three of us matched Tian Qing in strength. That��s the real great achievement! But did we say anything until now? To talk about Ye Yuan this boy, his talent is exceedingly high. If he really goes to seek refuge with the divine race for a woman, that will be a truly mortal calamity to our human race!�� Ancestor Water also said.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could not help being shocked when he heard. He did not expect that the few great Dao Ancestors actually already unified their statements!


    The nine great Dao Ancestors had always been disagreeable.


    For countless years, they disputed unceasingly for their own interests.


    He did not expect that at this time, they actually joined hands to deal with a junior!


    The consequences of this matter were even more serious than Profound Secrets imagined!


    Thinking up to here, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s heart sunk to rock-bottom.


    Looks like Dao Ancestor Life came prepared!


    What in the world happened in-between this that made Dao Ancestor Life rather abandon Ye Yuan this final hope than be willing to rely on him?


    Furthermore, what shocked him even more was that Dao Ancestor Life making a move this time was not just to abolish Ye Yuan��s contributions but also to strip him of the title of Saint Azure!


    Azure and Profound Dual Saints illuminated through the ages. The present human race��s prosperity was all single handedly forged by Ye Yuan and his father.


    Colluding with the enemy?


    Huhu, how ridiculous!


    Others might not know, but Dao Ancestor Life was already a top major power in the last epoch. He was just a step away from being a grand ancestor!


    Could he not know about this?


    Profound Secrets felt that there must still be something that he did not know involved.


    What in the world was Dao Ancestor Life afraid of?


    ��I also feel that the few Dao Ancestors make sense! Ye Yuan��s contributions, none of us deny it. But colluding with the enemy, this matter, the consequences are truly too serious! We can��t sit idly and remain indifferent!�� A Fifth Blight progenitor also concurred.


    ��I agree!��


    ��I agree too!��


    �� ��


    There were actually more than half of the progenitors present who agreed with Dao Ancestor Life��s suggestion.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was rendered dumbfounded with his mouth agape when he heard it. Dao Ancestor Life had clearly already channeled for a long time for this today.


    If the vast majority of the progenitor powerhouses unified their statements, coupled with the name of the nine great Dao Ancestors, stripping the title of Saint Azure was virtually something that was a certainty!


    What deep scheming!


    How could Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets not know the trickery behind this? Dao Ancestor Life definitely secretly made arrangements for a long time for this today, perhaps he gave these progenitors tremendous benefits.


    Otherwise, with these old things�� shrewdness, how could they stand on Dao Ancestor Life��s side so decisively?


    All of a sudden, Profound Secrets felt that it was a little scary.


    When he and Ye Yuan were bustling about and risking their lives for the human race and the myriad race��s future, these Dao Ancestors were actually scheming like this behind their backs!


    This really made people feel chills!


    No idea what Ye Yuan would think when he heard this news.


    Thinking up to here, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets felt that his chest was about to explode.


    The era was really different!


    During the last epoch, how could such a thing possibly happen?


    On their side, it was the stronger the better!


    But now, hur hur!


    ��I object! Lin Chaotian, you��re in the first batch of geniuses who entered the Heavenly Hidden World! It can be said that it was Lord Saint Azure who single handedly trained you to your current position! But now, you want to join hands with others to strip the title of Saint Azure! Do you want face or not! Also, Lord Saint Azure founded an eternally flourishing age. Even if you��re revered as a Dao Ancestor now, what right do you have to strip away the title of Saint Azure? You��re not qualified enough yet!�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said with decisiveness that could chop iron.


    He knew that these words were feeble, but he had to fight for it!


    Azure and Profound Dual Saints were an integral whole. Ye Yuan��s actions back then, he took it into his sights.


    He could not let the title of Saint Azure be sullied by someone!

 Chapter 2434 - Magnanimously Keeping the Appointment

    Chapter 2434: Magnanimously Keeping the Appointment


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Yes, I��m not qualified enough!��


    Dao Ancestor Life was indifferent, but he changed the topic and said, ��But times have changed. His most beloved woman is now the divine daughter of the divine race. Furthermore, her talent is astonishing. How can you guarantee that he��s still loyal and devoted to the human race? Perhaps him letting Daymeld go was the precursor to betraying the human race? You also know that his talent is amazing. But it��s precisely so that once he defects to the enemy, he��ll be an even greater threat to the human race, no?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled coldly and said, ��If you are out to condemn someone, you can always trump up a charge. You��re trumping up a charge here! Just based on this, you want to ruin Saint Azure? This emperor tells you, unless you pull my Jian Family up from the roots, otherwise, don��t think about it!��


    Dao Ancestor Life fell silent, Profound Secrets��s reaction was within his expectations.


    Azure and Profound Dual Saints were of the same breath and branch. He came from the previous epoch and personally saw before Azure and Profound Dual Saints�� valiant and heroic deeds. So how could he not know?


    But Ye Yuan must die!


    However, killing Ye Yuan was not that easy of a matter.


    The name of Saint Azure was too resounding, he founded the human race��s unprecedented prosperity. Now, he also established great achievements in battle.


    This kind of valiant and heroic feat, one false move and he might lose the game!


    It was correct that he was a Dao Ancestor, but he could not possibly become enemies with the entire world.


    Let alone that the divine race still had a terrifying Tian Qing.


    ��Alright. Since that��s the case, this ancestor has an idea. Invite Ye Yuan over to challenge him face to face! What do you think, Profound Secrets?�� Dao Ancestor Life said faintly.


    Profound Secrets��s pupils constricted, a foreboding feeling arising in his heart.


    This guy wanted to make Ye Yuan walk right into a trap!


    The moment Ye Yuan came, he would probably never be able to go back anymore!


    Seeing Profound Secrets not speak, Dao Ancestor Life said with a faint smile, ��Why? Don��t even have the courage to be confronted face to face? Or is it that he really already defected to the enemy? Toward the myriad races in the world, trillions of lifeforms, shouldn��t he give the world an explanation?��


    Profound Secrets clenched his jaws tightly, being cornered by Dao Ancestor Life until he could not speak.


    Lin Chaotian was giving him a huge problem!


    Come, Ye Yuan would never return.


    Not coming, Ye Yuan��s name of betrayal would be confirmed!


    ��Fine, I��ll go and invite him personally!�� Profound Secrets said in a deep voice.


    Dao Ancestor Life suddenly launching an attack immediately caused an uproar in the Heavenspan World.


    After the great battle, the name of Saint Azure was currently like the noonday sun.


    Furthermore, with the passage of time, the matter of Ye Yuan founding an eternally flourishing age was also revealed.


    Very soon, Saint Azure became a god-like figure.


    This kind of feat was simply incomparable.


    But no one could have expected that Dao Ancestor Life actually made a move against Saint Azure at this time.


    ��You guys guess, will Lord Saint Azure keep the appointment or not?��


    ��Keep the appointment? Isn��t this seeking death! Very clearly, Lord Saint Azure is already highly meritorious now that it threatens the master! Dao Ancestor Life can��t tolerate him anymore!��


    ��You can��t say that! Concerning Saint Azure letting Daymeld go, this matter was a fact! His beloved is the divine daughter of the divine race. So who can guarantee that he won��t betray the human race for a woman?��


    ��Mn, your words make sense too! Right now, Dao Ancestor Life is going to confront Lord Saint Azure face to face. Let��s wait and see then.��


    �� ��


    When he saw Profound Secrets again, Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��Oh? Dao Ancestor Life wants to see me? Alright, then let��s meet.��


    Profound Secrets could see the sadness beneath Ye Yuan��s calm surface. The blow to him this time was really huge.


    Having understood Ye Yuan��s life, Profound Secrets knew that Ye Yuan was someone who valued ties and affection immensely.


    But the person that he loved deeply became the divine daughter of the divine race, who could understand the suffering involved?


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually agreed to it so neatly, without even thinking about it.


    ��Did you understand what I said to you just now? Lin Chaotian has schemed for a long time. He must have already made perfect preparations this time. You won��t be able to come back once you go!�� Profound Secrets said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I don��t go, wouldn��t it confirm the name of defection? Furthermore, you personally came to look for me, but I defected. This is also a great irony to you and to your Jian Family. The name of Saint Azure isn��t important to me, but your father��s name of Saint Profound, I can��t allow them to sully it at all!��


    When Profound Secrets heard that, his expression could not help changing.


    He only cared about Ye Yuan��s safety but did not think of this level.


    If Ye Yuan really escaped, it would be hard to guarantee that Lin Chaotian would not launch an attack against the Jian Family.


    Profound Secrets frowned and said, ��But do you know who Lin Chaotian is? He was in the first batch of geniuses who entered the Heavenly Hidden World. Back then, he was only half a step away from the realm of Grand Ancestor! In the Doomsday Battle later on, he became one of the survivors, and even became Dao Ancestor Life! After ten billion years, even if Heavenly Dao takes back the power of rules, his strength will likely not be affected too much as well! It can be said that he��s currently the human race��s strongest person!��


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You also know that he��s the strongest, then why doesn��t he come to kill me? With his strength, if he wanted to kill me, he would have long killed me. He��s afraid of my influence! But he only launched an attack at this time. Have you thought about why?��


    Profound Secrets was startled and said, ��You know why he��s targeting you?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Don��t know, but I can guess a little. Logically speaking, the person that he dreads the most right now should be Tian Qing. But the Doomsday Battle has yet to die down, and he��s already eager to attack me. This indicates that my threat in his eyes is even greater than Tian Qing��s. Therefore, he��d rather kill me first than to give me the chance to grow up.��


    Profound Secrets had a shocked look. But thinking back, it was really the case.


    But what was his basis to firmly believe that Ye Yuan posed an even greater threat than Tian Qing?


    In his view, even if Ye Yuan fused time, space, and sword, these three great laws, it was also just a 50-50 chance against Tian Qing.


    ��But, if it��s like this, you can��t go even more! Once you go, even if Lin Chaotian can��t take you down, he��ll definitely detain you! You can forget about seeing the light of day again in this lifetime!�� Profound Secrets said with a solemn expression.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��My mind is made up. You don��t need to persuade anymore. I want to take a look at just why this Dao Ancestor Life wants to make a move against me.��


    �� ��


    Lord Saint Azure magnanimously accepted the appointment. This matter made everyone��s jaws drop.


    No one could have expected that Ye Yuan would really walk right into the trap.


    Even more people were watching the show. But the upper echelons who truly knew the inside story all knew that this was a certain-death situation!


    No matter the result, Dao Ancestor Life absolutely would not let Ye Yuan leave alive!


    They all thought that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to come.


    After all, compared to his life, what did fame count for?


    Although the name of Saint Azure was resounding, he was after all not a true expert.


    Dao Ancestor Life, that was a supreme existence who could have a showdown with Tian Qing!


    ��Is it real or fake? Everyone says that Lord Saint Azure is wise without equal. But he actually have moments when he��s dumb too!��


    ��Heh heh, in my view, this Lord Saint Azure is merely a pedantic person who values his own reputation too much.��


    ��Mn, from being admired by trillions of life, to falling to the mortal world, this sort of thing isn��t what everyone can bear.��

 Chapter 2435 - So What if I Hit You?

    Origin Enlighten Mountain Range was the closest mountain range to Heavenspan Mountain.


    The spiritual energy was abundant, being virtually no less than the Heavenspan Mountain.


    This place was the bodhidharma of Dao Ancestor Life and also the forbidden place of all powerhouses.


    At this time, two figures cut through the sky, arriving at the edge of Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.


    ��Halt! Who goes there?!�� More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared, blocking the two people��s path.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Lin Lang, you don��t even recognize this emperor? To actually dare stop me!��


    This Lin Lang was a genius figure among the Lin Family��s descendants, a Deva Third Blight mighty expert.


    Lin Lang cupped his fists and said smilingly, ��So, it��s Lord Profound Secrets. Of course, you can enter Origin Enlighten Mountain Range. But �� he can��t!��


    As he said, Lin Lang pointed at Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets snorted coldly and said, ��Lin Chaotian wants to see Saint Azure, now that I brought him here, you want to block him outside the door?��


    The moment Lin Lang heard, he looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise and said, ��You��re that Ye Yuan who let a formidable enemy go for a woman? Heh, he��s also worthy to be called Saint Azure? In my opinion, calling him a traitor is more like it!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� gaze turned dark. How could he not know that Lin Lang was doing it on purpose?


    A measly little Lin Lang definitely did not dare to be so unbridled.


    Behind him was definitely Lin Chaotian instigating it.


    What did Lin Chaotian want to do?


    At this time, Origin Enlighten Mountain Range already became the meeting place of the entire Heavenspan World��s wind and clouds. There must be countless people paying attention to this scene.


    Lin Lang��s words were incisive!


    Ye Yuan ignored Lin Lang, but turned to Profound Secrets and asked, ��Who is he?��


    Profound Secrets said in a deep voice, ��Lin Lang, Lin Chaotian��s fourth-generation grandson!��


    ��Oh.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head lightly, indicating that he got it.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan flung a slap over indifferently.


    This slap was too ordinary, ordinary until it was like an ordinary person.


    But there were still several Deva Second and Third Blight experts protecting him by his side.


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, they immediately rushed up.


    ��Impudent! This place is Origin Enlighten Mountain Range, you actually dare to attack Young Master Lin Lang!��


    A group of people swarmed up, rushing toward Ye Yuan.


    While Lin Lang had a mocking expression on his face. How could such an ordinary slap land on his body?


    Pah!


    A clear slapping sound suddenly spread out. It was clearly audible in the entire mountain range.


    Lin Lang was completely unprepared, his entire person directly being slapped flying, spinning dozens of rounds in the air before stabilizing his figure.


    His face was burning hot and already had an additional five fingerprints.


    The faces of those dozen over powerhouses changed wildly. They had clearly already stopped Ye Yuan. So how did Ye Yuan go over?


    These dozen over people were all Deva Realm mighty experts. They actually did not even see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also had a shocked look.


    After Ye Yuan broke through, it was still his first time seeing Ye Yuan make a move.


    This kind of strength could simply one-shot Deva Third Blight powerhouses!


    The scariest thing was that even he did not see clearly how Ye Yuan made his move.


    Ye Yuan��s application of spacetime law already reached a level that made one��s hair stand on end!


    One had to know, one blight tribulation one firmament. The gap between Deva Realm was incomparably huge!


    Ye Yuan just broke through to Deva Realm, his strength actually already reached such a terrifying level.


    When he reached the pinnacle of Deva Realm, how incredible would that be?


    At this time, he finally somewhat understood why Lin Chaotian would dread him so.


    Maybe after Ye Yuan grew up, Tian Qing was also merely thus, right?


    They were really unable to imagine an existence that even Grand Ancestor Spacetime was helpless against, Ye Yuan could kill him at will.


    ��You! You dare to hit me?�� Lin Lan looked at Ye Yuan, having a look of disbelief on his face.


    His status was even higher than Pang Zhen, this so-called unpredictable child!


    Because he was the descendant of Dao Ancestor Life!


    Dao Ancestor Life was the sovereign called the number one Dao Ancestor!


    Now, Ye Yuan actually sent him flying with one slap in front of Origin Enlighten Mountain Range��s gates.


    This was simply unprecedented shame and humiliation!


    What bullshit saint azure! He, Lin Lang, did not care.


    There was only Dao Ancestor Life in his eyes!


    ��So what if I hit you?�� Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back as he said coolly.


    Lin Lang had a spiteful look as he said furiously, ��You, a shameless person who betrayed the human race, what qualifications do you have to hit me?��


    Pah!


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan sent him flying with a slap again.


    This time, Lin Lang��s face was swollen on both sides.


    Ten fingerprints were clearly visible.


    ��Say another word and I��ll kill you!�� Ye Yuan was very calm. It was as if talking about something very ordinary.


    Sure enough, Lin Lang did not dare to speak anymore.


    Among the more than a dozen Deva powerhouses, each of them was dumbfounded with shock.


    They were here to protect Lin Lang, but now, they completely became decorations!


    Only when he saw Lin Lang shut up, did Ye Yuan slowly said, ��This saint��s merits and demerits isn��t you, a junior��s turn, to come and comment! Even if Lin Chaotian is here, he��ll also have to be careful when speaking to this saint! Who gave you the courage to talk nonsense here? Get lost!��


    Lin Lang��s expression changed wildly. Being yelled at to get lost in front of his own home��s door, his face was really utterly lost.


    It was just that he did not expect that this Saint Azure was actually strong to this extent.


    Profound Secrets was greatly relieved of his anger and said with a sneer, ��Lin Lang, if you don��t know how high Saint Azure��s seniority is, best scram back and ask Lin Chaotian! This Heavenspan World��s myriad races�� leaders are also several hierarchies lower when they see Lord Saint Azure! Who the hell are you, to dare point your fingers and comment on him?��


    �� ��


    At this time, in Origin Enlighten Hall, Lin Chaotian sighed slightly and said, ��Lin Huan, you go!��


    ��Yes!�� Behind him, a middle-aged man who was serving by his side stepped out of the ranks, and answered respectfully, and went out of the hall.


    Only after Lin Huan left did Lin Chaotian say, ��Looks like this ancestor still underestimated Saint Azure! This ancestor thought that he just broke through. So his strength is at most able to suppress Deva Second Blights, and he is absolutely not a match for this many Deva Third Blights. But who knew that his strength is actually already able to one-shot Deva Third Blights! Really too terrifying! Did you all see it?��


    Ancestor Fire also had a shocked face as he said, ��Deserving of being the eternal Saint Azure, this kind of monstrous strength is really too terrifying!��


    Ancestor Water��s gaze was piercing as he said, ��Brother Chaotian, do you really think that there��s something that can break the shackles on him?��


    Lin Chaotian smiled and said, ��Absolutely won��t be wrong! Back then, the Heavenspan Mountain had abnormal activities, spiritual energy resuscitating, with the broken world completely restoring back to how it was. All this coincided greatly with Ye Yuan��s appearance! Later on, this ancestor sent someone to investigate this. After several thousand years, I finally found a clue! Roughly over three thousand years ago, a heavenly shocking scene appeared above the sky of a small Jewelhill City of the Southern Border. The phantom of the Heavenspan Mountain actually descended upon a puny little county! This sort of thing is simply fantastical!��


    ��And this matter just happened to be exactly the same time when calculated according to the time of the Heavenspan Mountain��s spiritual energy resuscitating! This shows that back then in Jewelhill City, there must have been an earth-shattering huge incident that happened! At first, what major incident can there be in a puny little country? Originally, this ancestor had no clues either! But as luck would have it, the place that Ye Yuan first appeared was precisely in Jewelhill City!��

    Chapter 2436: Receive a Sword From Me!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heavenspan Mountain phantom! When we corroborated our Dao, such a terrifying scene had never appeared before too!�� Ancestor Water said in shock.


    ��What in the world did he do, to actually resonate with the Heavenspan World?! Triggering heaven and earth Great Dao, making spiritual energy resuscitate, this kind of means is simply inconceivable!�� Ancestor Wind also said in shock.


    These Dao Ancestors revealed greedy looks in their eyes one by one.


    To them, there was already nothing that could move them.


    Only improving a step further could move them!


    They had already attained the power of rules for ten billion years. No matter how hard they worked, they were unable to break the shackles too.


    Regarding this point, they were well aware in their hearts.


    But they saw hope in Ye Yuan!


    Dao Ancestor Life��s gaze was deep as he continued, ��Originally, I didn��t put my attention on Ye Yuan either. But ever since he returned with the name of Saint Azure, I have a feeling of suddenly seeing the light. His talent is too monstrous! Monstrous to the degree that it makes even us, these Dao Ancestors, daunted at the sight of him! Who can imagine that he created an eternal noble exploit with his power alone, grooming 18 grand ancestors?! Who could have thought that he mopped up and quelled more than ten Sentry Celestial Palaces with his power alone?! Who could have thought that he could kill Deva Realm powerhouses effortlessly with the realm of Heavenly Emperor! Just based on the power of laws that he comprehended? Impossible!��


    ��Back then, I was in the same period as the 18 grand ancestors. When they were at Ye Yuan this realm, even by relying on the power of rules, it��s also impossible to have such horrifying combat power! Then just what is it that he relies on? Only when I placed my attention on Saint Azure and studied his growth along the way did it make me extremely shocked! his growth trajectory is too terrifying!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Hearing Dao Ancestor Life talking tirelessly, the group of Dao Ancestors could not help drawing cold breaths.


    Ye Yuan��s growth experiences were simply a monstrous legend!


    A bumpkin who ascended from a small world, rising all the way from Jewelhill City, blooming lotuses at every step, and climbing to the summit!


    At present, he was also merely a step away from the true summit of the world!


    And he merely used 3000 over years to achieve this.


    This was a legend!


    Even if they were Dao Ancestors above all life, they also paled in comparison in front of Ye Yuan��s legendary rise.


    What was even more terrifying was that their legends were actually created by Ye Yuan!


    After pausing for a bit, Lin Chaotian continued, saying, ��Therefore, as long as we obtain the secret on him, what does a mere Tian Qing count for?��


    The few Dao Ancestors felt as if their blood was boiling over.


    �� ��


    When Lin Huan appeared in front of everyone, it immediately caused an uproar.


    ��Lord Lin Huan came! He��s a Deva Fifth Blight powerhouse! See if that kid still dares to be arrogant!��


    ��Humph! Our Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma is a Dao Ancestor��s bodhidharma, the foundation incomparably thick. How could it be a brat who just entered Deva Realm��s turn to be arrogant?��


    ��So what if Saint Azure? In front of Dao Ancestor Life, he still has to lower his head!��


    �� ��


    Lin Huan��s appearance made Lin Lang and the others immediately feel much more confident.


    As a Deva Fifth Blight supreme powerhouse, Lin Huan��s status was not what Lin Lang and the others could compare to.


    If Lin Lang was a rising star of the Lin Family, then Lin Huan was a pillar of the Lin Family!


    Even if it was the bodhidharma that Lin Chaotian established, Deva Fifth Blights were absolutely not cabbages too.


    Deva Fifth Blight, those were existences who could suppress the destiny of a region!


    Lin Huan clasped his hands slightly at Ye Yuan and said, ��Lin Lang was insensible and affronted Saint Azure. I hope that Saint Azure forgives his offenses.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need. I��ve already taught him a lesson on Lin Chaotian��s behalf.��


    The muscles on Lin Huan��s face twitched slightly and he forced a smile as he said, ��Logically speaking, with Saint Azure��s status, you can enter Origin Enlighten Mountain Range. It��s just that now, Your Excellency��s actions have tarnished the name of Saint Azure. You��re a sinner! Therefore, if you want to enter Origin Enlighten Mountain Range, Saint Azure must experience the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations like ordinary people, before you have the qualifications to enter our Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.��


    As he said, Lin Huan pointed at a place in the mountain, and said, ��That place is the entrance, Lord Saint Azure, please!��


    Lin Huan��s words were much warmer than Lin Lang��s, but the mocking in his words was not the slightest bit less.


    In the end, Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma was taking Ye Yuan down a notch!


    Actually, Ye Yuan��s matter currently did not have a final verdict. Even if he was guilty, it was also not Lin Huan��s turn to come and speak.


    It was just that this was a world where the strong reigned supreme in the end. Lin Huan said this with the honor of a Deva Fifth Blight, he reckoned that Ye Yuan did not have any temper too.


    Lin Lang being hit by Ye Yuan, it was just that his cultivation was lacking, that was all.


    Hence, that was why Lin Chaotian sent Lin Huan out.


    Suppressing Ye Yuan with the prestige of Deva Fifth Blight!


    At this time, everyone was waiting to see Ye Yuan make a fool of himself.


    Lin Lang and the rest were even more proud of themselves, mocking expressions on their faces.


    While many people observing secretly sighed slightly.


    So what if Saint Azure?


    Strength lacking, it was the outcome of being trampled on by people in the end!


    Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan did not look towards that place at all, he just said coolly, ��Who the hell are you, to dare point fingers and order this saint? Is your Lin Family all so senseless?��


    Lin Huan did not get angry but smiled instead, and looked at Ye Yuan contemptuously and said, ��Why? Saint Azure did it, so I can��t say it? Or is it that Lord Saint Azure also wants to discipline me?��


    Lin Huan��s words were said with backbone.


    He was certain that Ye Yuan could not do anything to him.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry either, and retorted with a question, ��Lin Chaotian invited me here to confront face to face, to make a final decision whether my title of Saint Azure is to be retained or not. Do you have the right to speak?��


    Lin Huan��s expression turned stiff and he said in a solemn voice, ��I don��t! But so what? Can you shut the mouths of everyone in the world?��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Whether this Saint betrayed the human race has yet to be determined, what qualifications do you have to pass wind here? You dare to say so, it��s simply that you think that you��re Deva Fifth Blight, and this Saint can��t do anything to you! Okay, this Saint just entered Deva, if you can receive a sword from this Saint head-on and not get injured, so what if this Saint goes and challenges the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations?��


    The moment these words came out, the entire mountain was shocked!


    He was actually going to challenge Deva Fifth Blight!


    ��Hiss �� is he crazy? No matter how formidable Saint Azure is, it��s also impossible to hurt a Deva Fifth Blight!��


    ��Is this Saint Azure��s pride? It��s just that this pride looks like foolishness!��


    ��Heh, doesn��t Ye Yuan know that Dao Ancestor Life this lineage cultivates wood-attribute cultivation methods, their lifeforce power incomparably thick?! It��s simply impossible for him to want to hurt Lin Huan!��


    �� ��


    Everyone expressed confusion and ridicule at Ye Yuan��s action of inviting humiliation.


    This sort of arrogance without the slightest backing was simply laughable.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan was very strong, it was just that no matter how strong, there was a limit too.


    Deva Fifth Blight, one blight one firmament.


    The gap between each realm could not be measured with distance.


    This sort of gap could not be made up for by relying on talent.


    Ye Yuan could instantly kill Lin Lang, being heaven-defying, but he absolutely could not hurt Lin Huan.


    Otherwise, this Heavenspan World��s sovereign would also be too laughable.


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s expression changed too and he said, ��Lord Saint Azure, you can��t do it! You wait outside. I��ll go and find Lin Chaotian!��

 Chapter 2437 - Majesty of Saint Azure!

    Chapter 2437: Majesty of Saint Azure!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You��re asking me to receive a sword from you? Hahaha, Lord Saint Azure��s arrogance really makes Lin Huan admire you! It��s just �� don��t talk about one sword, so what if ten swords?��


    After Lin Huan heard Ye Yuan��s words, he could not resist laughing out loud.


    This kind of ridiculous ant-like pride was really hilarious!


    Saint Azure was indeed admired by thousands, but so what?


    In the end, Ye Yuan was merely a young eagle who had yet to take flight.


    In front of a real powerhouse, this kind of pride appeared that laughable.


    Even if you created an eternal prosperous age, so what?


    Times were already different!


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need. One sword is enough! If you lose, scram for this saint. A good dog won��t block the path.��


    Lin Huan��s gaze turned sullen and he said with a cold smile, ��If I lose, I��ll naturally move aside!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Mn, well-behaved, a good dog!��


    ��Pffft ����


    Many people could not resist spraying out.


    Lin Huan smiled coldly and said, ��Don��t be so sure! Indulge in a contention of mouth and tongue again after you can hurt me!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Mn, then you receive it well. Don��t say that you didn��t prepare adequately when you lose.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan slowly took out the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    The might of a Dao artifact bloom once again!


    However, this time, the aura emitting off of the Limitless God Killing Bow was stronger than any other time before.


    That terrifying aura made everyone��s expressions change abruptly.


    At present, Ye Yuan was currently developing a myriad of lives in his small world and already stepped into the realm of Creation, his strength being much stronger than Deva First Blight.


    Reaching this realm, Ye Yuan��s understanding of Heavenly Dao already reached an exceedingly terrifying level.


    His cultivation realm, and strength, was already completely capable of unleashing the might of a Dao artifact.


    A soft jade light emitted off the Limitless God Killing Bow.


    That power seemed to be the might of heaven descending upon the world.


    In the Origin Enlighten Hall, the imposing auras of the group of Dao Ancestors also curdled.


    ��That��s the Arrow God��s Limitless God Killing Bow! Didn��t expect that this thing actually landed in Ye Yuan��s hands!�� Ancestor Water said in surprise.


    ��Arrow God��s arrow pierced the clouds back then, severely wounding Daymeld, before sealing him up. Looking at Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum, he��s already capable of completely unleashing the power of this Limitless God Killing Bow! Have you all noticed it? Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm seems like he just entered the Deva Realm, the thickness of his divine essence is already no less than a Deva Second Blight! I don��t know what cultivation method there is in this world that can be formidable to such a degree!�� Lin Chaotian said calmly.


    The few Dao Ancestors looked over in earnest and discovered that it was indeed as Lin Chaotian said. Ye Yuan��s divine essence was incomparably solid and vigorous.


    Even Lin Huan, this level of power, was also eclipsed in front of Ye Yuan.


    Although his aura was strong, the divine essence undulation was like a pile of loose sand in front of Ye Yuan!


    A pile of sand and a wall!


    This was the difference between the two person��s divine essence!


    With such divine essence strength coupled with terrifying laws of time and space, it was really like mauling vegetables for Ye Yuan to deal with the Deva Third Blight Lin Lang.


    ��Sword, come!��


    Ye Yuan called lightly, there was an undulation in space, and a light sword condensed in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    The cold air was oppressive!


    Breaking through to the realm of Creation, the power of the Sword of Spacetime was no longer comparable to when he was in World Realm.


    A Dao artifact at full firepower, coupled with the Sword of Spacetime with its power multiplied, this was Ye Yuan��s powerful reliance!


    Everyone was taken in by Ye Yuan��s astonishing imposing momentum.


    No one could have thought that the Ye Yuan who just entered Deva Realm, could be so powerful.


    The smile on Lin Huan��s face vanished bit by bit.


    What replaced it was a hint of seriousness.


    Indeed, this sword of Ye Yuan��s was not enough to kill him.


    But a moment of carelessness, harming him could still be accomplished!


    At this time, Lin Huan could not help regretting it a little. He felt that he was too careless.


    It was just that how could he have thought that a mere junior who just entered Deva Realm could actually unleash such powerful undulations?


    Ye Yuan arced the bow, notched the sword, and said coolly, ��You seem to be a little scared? Give yourself two slaps, admit your fault, this saint can take it as nothing happened.��


    Lin Huan��s expression changed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��What a joke! Would I be scared of you? Bring it on!��


    Done talking, the divine essence on Lin Huan��s body surged crazily.


    Wood-attribute law erupted crazily on his body.


    A powerful lifeforce power, as well as world domain, surrounded Lin Huan tightly.


    He gave a loud roar, ��Bring it!��


    Everyone stared at this scene wide-eyed and tongue-tied. No one could have thought that Ye Yuan actually forced out Lin Huan��s full strength!


    A Deva Fifth Blight defending at full power, what kind of terrifying defensive power was that?


    At this time, they felt as if a huge mountain was lying in front of Lin Huan.


    Wanting to break this enormous mountain and injure Lin Huan��s body itself, that was simply a joke.


    Ye Yuan gave a light laugh and said, ��Looks like you��re ready. Then, I��m coming!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s feet strode across the air, the bowstring was gradually pulled to a bend.


    Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum became stronger and stronger!


    Drawing a bow was gaining momentum to begin with.


    When the bowstring was pulled fully, it would be when the arrow��s momentum was accumulated fully.


    However, before this, Ye Yuan had never drawn the Limitless God Killing Bow fully before.


    An astonishing aura rose up!


    Even if Lin Huan had already made sufficient preparations, he also felt tremendous oppression at this time.


    Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum was still rising.


    Finally, the bowstring and bow body formed a perfect arc.


    A full bow!


    It was Ye Yuan��s first time drawing the Limitless God Killing Bow fully!


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s fingertip released lightly; the Sword of Spacetime directly disappeared.


    Space was like a piece of paper, directly having a gap cut open.


    This sword was too sharp!


    Boom!


    The void trembled. In virtually an instant, the Sword of Spacetime matched up against Lin Huan��s defense.


    Lin Huan trembled all over, his figure involuntarily going backward.


    One step, two steps, three steps �� a hundred steps!


    The Sword of Spacetime plunged directly into Lin Huan��s world domain, suppressing his domain and wood-attribute law to the extreme.


    ��Power of Wood Spirit, birth!��


    Lin Huan let out a loud roar. Rows of giant trees were born out of thin air, directly breaking out of the ground, rising up, and blocking in front of him.


    It was just that in front of spacetime, these giant trees seemed like paper paste.


    The giant trees kept growing non-stop, constantly neutralizing the impact of the Sword of Spacetime.


    Lin Huan��s footsteps were still falling back!


    Finally, when he fell back to a thousand steps, the Sword of Spacetime dissipated with a loud bang.


    It was already a mess in front of the entire mountain pass gates.


    The people who were watching the battle in secret were long already dumbstruck with amazement.


    No one could have thought that Ye Yuan could actually force the Deva Fifth Blight Lin Huan to such an extent!


    Although it was only a brief instant just now, Lin Huan already achieved the ultimate defense.


    Ye Yuan could actually rely on the power of one word and force a Deva Fifth Blight powerhouse to retreat a thousand steps.


    This level of strength was simply terrifying!


    ��Is �� Is this the strength of Saint Azure? T-Too terrifying!��


    ��That��s the legendary Sword of Spacetime! Being swordless beats having a sword! Truly a stunning sword!��


    ��Saint Azure just entered Deva Realm and already has such combat power. If his wings are fully plumed up, why fear the divine race?��


    �� ��


    In the dark, came a series of exclamations.

 Chapter 2438 - Nine Great Dao Ancestors!

    Everyone was in extreme shock.


    But Ye Yuan slowly retracted his bow, his aura being slightly in disorder.


    The power of this sword was already his strongest strike!


    Even with the thickness of his divine essence, he also felt slightly overwhelmed.


    ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you lost! A guy who overestimates his own abilities! How can this degree of attack possibly harm Third Grandpa!�� Seeing that Lin Huan was safe and sound, Lin Lang said with a big laugh.


    Although the scene just now was extremely shocking, Ye Yuan could not do anything to Lin Huan in the end.


    There were already many people sighing endlessly in secret.


    This strike earlier was already sufficiently shocking.


    It was just a pity that it was lacking a little power.


    If Ye Yuan��s opponent was not Lin Huan but replaced with other Deva Fifth Blights, the other party would probably have already been injured.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Lang like looking at a fool and said calmly, ��Is that so? You try having him say a word.��


    Lin Lang smiled coldly and said, ��Forget about a word, so what if ten sentences or a hundred sentences? How can the majesty of a Deva Fifth Blight be what you can provoke?��


    Many people secretly shook their heads, somewhat pitying Ye Yuan.


    ��Sigh, he should have gone to provoke a Deva Fifth Blight, isn��t this seeking humiliation?��


    ��Lost then lost, why bother holding on strong?��


    ��Didn��t expect that Saint Azure is actually someone who keeps up appearances to cover up his predicament.��


    �� ��


    The name of saint azure illuminated through the ages.


    This reputation was indeed impressive. It also propped Ye Yuan very high.


    In their view, Ye Yuan had clearly lost but was hellbent on saving face at his own cost.


    But Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and said to Lin Huan coolly, ��Hey, try saying a word.��


    Lin Huan did not answer.


    But Lin Lang satirized to his face as he said, ��Hey, is this Saint Azure? Clearly lost, but can��t bear a loss?��


    Secretly, many people looked toward Lin Huan, feeling that he was a little weird.


    He clearly won. So why was he refusing to speak?


    Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said disdainfully, ��Still repressing it? Keep suppressing and you��ll repress internal injuries out. Even if it��s Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma, there aren��t many quasi-Dao pills either, right?��


    Lin Huan still did not answer.


    ��Humph! What bullshit Saint Azure, simply a guy who can��t bear a loss!�� Lin Lang said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark, grabbing Lin Lang��s neck like lightning as he said in a chilly voice, ��You��re very cocky huh! Do you really think that this saint doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    A piercing cold killing intent was akin to materialized, making Lin Lang virtually unable to breathe.


    He knew that Ye Yuan really had killing intent aroused.


    When Lin Huan saw this scene, he finally could not resist moving.


    But the moment he moved, the injuries on his body could no longer be concealed, spurting a mouthful of blood out.


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, looking at Lin Huan in surprise.


    Lin Huan was actually really injured!


    ��This �� How is this possible? A Deva First Blight hurts a Deva Fifth Blight!��


    ��Regarding the matter Lin Huan was being weird just now, it turns out that he was actually afraid of affecting his injuries even more!��


    ��Looks like Lin Huan��s injuries aren��t light. Otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn��t have been overwhelmed by it.��


    �� ��


    Lin Huan getting injured immediately caused a mighty uproar.


    A martial artist who just broke through to Deva Realm actually hurt a Deva Fifth Blight sovereign!


    This kind of thing was too fantastical.


    In Origin Enlighten Hall, the group of Dao Ancestors was shocked too.


    ��This guy is also too strong, right? He just broke through and his attack power is actually already capable of hurting a Deva Fifth Blight!�� Ancestor Lightning exclaimed.


    ��Hiss �� if wait until he reaches Deva Fifth Blight, wouldn��t even we not be his match too?�� Ancestor Fire sucked in a breath of cold air as he said.


    Lin Chaotian was startled and also delighted, and said with a slight smile, ��The stronger he is, the more it proves that this ancestor��s judgment wasn��t wrong! He must have a secret that can break the shackles on him! I made Lin Huan go in order to test his depths.��


    With this, Ye Yuan��s strength was completely exposed in front of them.


    Nothing was more convincing than this.


    At this time, the eight great Dao Ancestors no longer had doubts, standing firmly on Dao Ancestor Life��s side.


    Among them, included Ancestor Lightning.


    No one could resist this kind of temptation.


    Ye Yuan casually threw, throwing Lin Lang to one side. Slowly arriving in front of Lin Huan, he said nonchalantly, ��Good dog, don��t get in the way.��


    Lin Huan looked at Ye Yuan with a gloomy face, gnashing his teeth in hatred.


    But in the end, he still got out of the way unwillingly.


    Profound Secrets looked at this scene with a shocked expression on his face. He only came back to his senses after a long time, and hurriedly chased after.


    He suddenly somewhat understood why Lin Chaotian was targeting Ye Yuan.


    �� ��


    Inside Origin Enlighten Hall, it was long already packed full.


    Ye Yuan stepped into the hall, the eyes of the group of powerhouses looked over towards him collectively.


    Among them, there were many who were even his former subordinates.


    Ye Yuan looked straight ahead, arriving in the center of the hall.


    There were nine seats above the hall, they were clearly prepared for the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    These nine people were supreme existences of the human race.


    Dao Ancestor Life, Dao Ancestor Watersource, Dao Ancestor Firespirit, Dao Ancestor Storm, Dao Ancestor Lightning, Dao Ancestor Earth, Dao Ancestor Light, Dao Ancestor Darkness, and Dao Ancestor Destruction!


    These nine great Dao Ancestors stood at the top of the Heavenspan World, overlooking the world!


    Suddenly, the void trembled.


    Nine figures were already seated on the seats at some point.


    Although they were already seated, they gave people an indistinct feeling.


    The rule undulations emanating from their bodies made them seem particularly fleeting and ephemeral.


    As if what they represented was Heavenly Dao!


    But Ye Yuan saw these nine people��s faces clearly.


    As far as comprehension towards Dao was concerned, he was even more advanced than the few seated.


    How could these few people pretend to be unfathomable in front of him?


    Ye Yuan looked at that old man wearing a gray crown in the middle, seeming like they had met before.


    Lin Chaotian also looked at him and said with a light smile, ��Lord Saint Azure, parting for ten billion years, I didn��t expect that when you and I meet again, it actually is the situation of reversing the chaos of spacetime.��


    At that time, they were still just out-and-out juniors in front of Ye Yuan.


    Even Shang Hang that kind of major power was also unbelievably weak in front of Ye Yuan.


    A slight commotion came from within the great hall.


    With regards to the talk about Ye Yuan creating an eternally prosperous age previously, it was all just a legend.


    But Dao Ancestor Life was the only remaining great achievement from the last epoch.


    He personally acknowledged Ye Yuan��s title of Saint Azure, clearly indicating the truth of this matter.


    This young man before their eyes was really a legend!


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian and said with a frown, ��So, it��s you! That time, I already felt that the wood-attribute power of law in your body was extremely exuberant. I didn��t expect that later on, you actually became a Dao Ancestor!��


    Lin Chaotian was precisely one of the members who went to Inquire Heavenly Palace back then together with Shang Hang to find trouble with Ye Yuan.


    At that time, Ye Yuan��s attention was mostly on Shang Hang and did not have too deep of an impression of Lin Chaotian.


    But Lin Chaotian was one of the geniuses that Ye Yuan did not have much contact with.


    At that time, he was the Saint Azure far removed from the masses and reality. Lin Chaotian was merely a puny little genius disciple.


    Circumstances change with the passing of time, that puny little disciple was already standing at the top of the Heavenspan World, becoming the number one Dao Ancestor.


    But Ye Yuan was still just a junior who just entered Creation Realm.


    Got to admit, the god of destiny makes a fool out of people.


    Lin Chaotian smiled and said, ��What Lin Chaotian has today, it is thanks to the credit of Saint Azure��s inheritance grand array. This Lin is endlessly grateful. It��s just that times have changed. With me inviting Saint Azure here today, please give the world an explanation as to why you let Daymeld go.��


    The atmosphere in the great hall instantly dropped to freezing point.


    While talking and laughing, swords and bows were already drawn!

 Chapter 2439 - Justice Lies in the Hearts of People!

    ��Ye Yuan, do you know back then, how many of our powerhouses died tragically at Daymeld��s hands? You let him go, how many powerhouses will die at his hands? If you don��t give the world an explanation today, you can forget about walking out of Origin Enlighten Hall!�� Dao Ancestor Destruction said in a deep voice.


    The interrogation of two great Dao Ancestors, how frightening was it?


    Especially Dao Ancestor Destruction, the destruction rule that he unwittingly radiated seemed to make even space tremble.


    The powerhouses present, even if they reached Deva Fifth Blight, felt tremendous pressure too.


    Everyone��s gazes were focused on Ye Yuan, wanting to see how he defends himself.


    After all, this matter could not be justified no matter what.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Explanation? Explain what? I, Ye Yuan, follow my conscience when I do things. Why do I need to explain to you?��


    The numerous powerhouses opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    This guy actually dared to speak to Dao Ancestors like this!


    Also, Ye Yuan already came to Origin Enlighten Mountain Range. He was actually not defending himself?


    Then what did he come here for?


    They discovered that they could not see through Ye Yuan at all and totally did not know what he wanted to do.


    Even the Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets who came with Ye Yuan was also standing there in a daze currently, at a loss on what to do.


    Lin Chaotian was clearly taken aback too and said in a firm voice, ��So, you��re admitting that you betrayed the human race?��


    Since Ye Yuan did not provide an explanation, then it could not be better.


    This sentence of his was equivalent to confirming Ye Yuan��s name of betrayal.


    This way, it would be much easier to do things.


    But Ye Yuan laughed boldly and said, ��Hahaha �� Whether this Ye betrayed the human race or not, you shouldn��t be asking me this! You go and ask those warriors who fought side by side with me! You go and ask those heroic spirits who died on the battlefield! Or you can go and ask those major powerhouses who passed away in the same era as you!��


    When he said these words, Ye Yuan had an awe-inspiring aura, emanating an impressive righteous aura on his body.


    The name of Saint Azure was clear at a glance!


    Although he did not have the power of a Dao Ancestor, the name of Saint Azure was cultivated by his righteous aura. How could it be blasphemed?


    At this moment, Ye Yuan��s aura was actually not the slightest bit inferior to the nine great Dao Ancestors!


    He contended with the power of the nine great Dao Ancestors with his power alone!


    These were two vastly different kinds of auras.


    The aura of a Dao Ancestor was the aura of a sovereign, it was spontaneously brought forth by their powerful strength.


    But Ye Yuan��s aura was an awe-inspiring righteous aura, condensed and formed after transmigrating ten billion years!


    Although he did not experience the time of ten billion years, this ten billion years of spacetime existed because of him!


    Ye Yuan was simply disdainful to justify for himself, justice was in the hearts of people!


    It was not that he did not want to kill Daymeld, but that he could not hold Daymeld.


    Li-er��s present strength was not the slightest bit inferior to his.


    If he had assurance in killing Daymeld, he absolutely would not show mercy.


    It was just that, he could not be bothered to explain these at all.


    The expressions of someone as powerful as Lin Chaotian also changed slightly at this time.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s body could actually release such a powerful force.


    Indeed well-deserving of being Saint Azure who founded an eternally flourishing age, he was not that easy to deal with!


    In the crowd, Ni Xuan��s expression flickered indeterminately. Suddenly, he took a deep breath and stepped forward to clasp his hands and said, ��Lord Dao Ancestors, Ni Xuan has always been fighting alongside Lord Saint Azure. Ni Xuan has seen every little bit about him! Ni Xuan is willing to guarantee with my Dao foundation that Lord Saint Azure absolutely won��t betray the human race!��


    His voice had yet to fade when Shi Potian also suddenly came forward and said, ��Lord Saint Azure devoted himself to public interests. Shi Potian is also willing to guarantee with my Dao foundation and he absolutely won��t betray the human race!��


    ��I vouch for it!��


    ��I guarantee it too!��


    �� ��


    These Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses who had fought alongside Ye Yuan suddenly erupted, coming forward to vouch for Ye Yuan one after another.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan��s action and conduct, they took it all in their sights.


    To say that Ye Yuan betrayed the human race, they had a hundred disbeliefs.


    On the battlefield, Ye Yuan was always charging at the forefront.


    The number of enemies killed, he was always the most too.


    It was also precisely him who forged an army of young masters into an invincible iron army.


    If not for Ye Yuan gathering the myriad races coalition forces together, there also would not have been a great victory later on, and then the retaking of the whole Heavenspan World!


    How could such a person possibly betray the human race?


    Daymeld��s incident, they did not understand.


    But to say that Ye Yuan betrayed the human race, they did not believe it!


    Being infected by Ye Yuan��s awe-inspiring righteous aura, they involuntarily stepped forward.


    Actually, before this, many among them already adopted a wait-and-see attitude.


    But Ye Yuan��s awe-inspiring righteous aura seemed to be able to invade the hearts of people, making them involuntarily follow.


    Seeing this scene, the faces of the few great Dao Ancestors became very ugly.


    The scene was already completely out of control!


    They never thought that such a scene would actually occur.


    But right at this time, one thunderous shout after another suddenly came in from outside, clearly audible in the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range!


    ��We beseech Dao Ancestors to rectify Lord Saint Azure��s name!��


    ��We beseech Dao Ancestors to rectify Lord Saint Azure��s name!��


    ��We beseech Dao Ancestors to rectify Lord Saint Azure��s name!��


    �� ��


    The voices were like tidal waves.


    The voices of many Deva Realms and Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouses superimposed, that voice was practically about to collapse the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.


    Outside the mountain pass gates, Wan Zhen and Pang Zhen led the entire unpredictable legion��s warriors, several million of the human army��s warriors, as well as numerous powerhouses who remembered Ye Yuan��s achievements and gathered here one after another.


    The numbers already reached as many as tens of millions!


    Outside Origin Enlighten Mountain Range, many powerhouses blotted out the sun and sky, practically covering the entire sky.


    This number was nothing to the human race.


    But in today��s world, to be able to make so many people gather here to rectify one person��s name, probably even Dao Ancestors could not do it!


    Before this, Ye Yuan strictly ordered them not to come over.


    But this time, they violated Ye Yuan��s order.


    ��What are you all messing around for? Get out of here!�� Lin Lang said with an angry roar.


    It was just that facing millions of powerhouses, Lin Lang��s voice was directly suppressed. Nobody paid attention to him at all.


    ��Pang Zhen, you��re the descendant of a Dao Ancestor. How dare you be so unbridled?�� Lin Lang came in front of Pang Zhen and said with a furious roar.


    Pang Zhen directly ignored him and shouted loudly.


    In the hall, the faces of many powerhouses changed abruptly.


    No one could have thought that things actually turned out like this.


    Originally, this was a trial against Ye Yuan.


    But now, it became Ye Yuan��s solo performance.


    Why did Lin Chaotian dread Ye Yuan?


    It was because of his rallying power!


    But he still underestimated Ye Yuan!


    He did not expect that in this present era, Ye Yuan actually still had such formidable rallying power!


    Yes, he naturally did not expect it.


    How could he, this Dao Ancestor who was far removed from the masses and reality, be sympathetic to the suffering of the world?


    When the world was going through chaos caused by war, they were apprehensive of the divine race��s strength and did not dare to make a move.


    But Ye Yuan stepped forward!


    He overpowered the raging tides and reversed a hopeless situation with his power alone, leading the myriad races to defeat the divine race!


    This feat, who could compare to it?


    Lin Chaotian was considering how to corroborate his Dao and achieve supremacy, breaking the shackles.


    But Ye Yuan was doing things for the world in a down-to-earth manner.


    Why did he need to provide an explanation to the world?


    There was the phrase ��Justice lies in the hearts of people!��

 Chapter 2440 - Laid Completely Bare!

    Chapter 2440: Laid Completely Bare!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Hahaha �� Lin Chaotian, justice lies in the hearts of people. Do you hear it? Open your eyes wide and see. Who will believe that someone who sent the divine race back to the abyss will betray the human race! Will someone who betrays the human race have such a powerful aura of righteousness?�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said with a loud laugh.


    He also did not think that with Ye Yuan coming to confront face to face would actually have such a thing happen.


    Ever since he went to find Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan had been together with him all along.


    In fact, Ye Yuan even instructed Pang Zhen and the rest, forbidding them from coming to get involved in this matter.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was afraid of implicating them.


    These people all came spontaneously!


    The feelings of the people were clear at a glance!


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Indeed deserving of being Saint Azure. What a terrific trick that beguiles the hearts of people! Finding so many people to come to Origin Enlighten Mountain Range, is it to force an abdication?��


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Force an abdication? Huhu, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself. Already a Dao Ancestor, can��t you be a little more broad-minded?��


    Lin Chaotian��s face turned black, these words were simply lecturing him as a junior!


    Yet, he could not find words to refute.


    Lin Chaotian gave a cold snort and said, ��Ye Yuan, stop putting on your airs of Saint Azure! Fine. Put aside the matter of Daymeld first. Are you going to explain the matter of your beloved woman becoming the divine race��s divine daughter? You said that you won��t betray the human race. Then when you meet her on the battlefield one day, what will you do? This time, you let her leave!��


    This matter was the most crucial!


    Lin Chaotian daring to convict Ye Yuan, this was also the most important point.


    The feelings between Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli, as well as Ye Yuan��s character, he had looked into it deeply before.


    Ye Yuan valued relationships immensely and could completely put his life on the line for the people around him.


    Now that Yue Mengli became a Divine Daughter, Ye Yuan absolutely would not sit by idly and remain indifferent, let alone meet on the battleground!


    And this was precisely where Ye Yuan��s weakness lay!


    Sure enough, mentioning this point, the muscles on Ye Yuan��s face involuntarily twitched.


    This matter already became a sore spot of his.


    Lin Chaotian mentioning it in public was tantamount to scattering salt on his wound.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes were icy-cold and he said in a deep voice, ��Lin Chaotian, who the hell do you think you are, to make me explain to you? What I, Ye Yuan, want to do, isn��t your turn to point fingers and order me about!��


    When Lin Chaotian saw that Ye Yuan got angry, he smiled instead and said, ��Oh? Angry? Looks like Saint Azure values this woman very highly! Since that��s the case, then who can guarantee that you won��t betray the human race because of this woman in the future? This matter, Saint Azure got to give us an explanation! Or you can kill this woman with your own hands and prove your loyalty to your clansmen! Don��t you all agree?��


    As he said, his gaze swept towards everyone.


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air!


    This move was a little too vicious.


    Forcing Ye Yuan to personally kill his most beloved woman, this was too cruel!


    It was just that at this time, no one could point out any problems.


    After all, the human race and divine race were mortal enemies.


    Either you die or I perish.


    There was no room for salvation between the two parties at all.


    Ye Yuan getting angry was precisely what Lin Chaotian hoped to see.


    When he discovered that his opponent was Saint Azure, even the Lin Chaotian who was revered as a Dao Ancestor, had no choice but to be careful too.


    Who was Saint Azure?


    That was a peerless major power who single handedly groomed him from a mediocre person with no accomplishments to his name into the Heavenspan World��s number one person!


    Others did not know Saint Azure��s might, but he came over from that era, how could he not know?


    Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was not high yet, his potential was too terrifying!


    Without Saint Azure, there would not be the present human race��s prosperity, let alone him, this Dao Ancestor Life.


    Hence, he deliberately used Yue Mengli��s matter to provoke Ye Yuan.


    Very clearly, he achieved his goal!


    ��Lord Saint Azure, you give an explanation!��


    ��Yeah, we completely don��t believe that you��ll betray the human race! But, you��ve got to explain things!��


    �� ��


    The group of powerhouses were all very anxious, they discovered that Ye Yuan was too proud!


    Proud until he was completely disdainful to defend himself.


    Even if it already concerned his name of Saint Azure now!


    But Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Lin Chaotian, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself! Do you think that I came today to explain to you? Or is it that you feel that I��ll care about the name of Saint Azure? Heh heh, in the end, you��re also just a frog at the bottom of the well!��


    Ye Yuan��s words expressed volumes.


    Lin Chaotian��s heart seemed to be pricked by something.


    While everyone in the hall was extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan actually used ��frog at the bottom of the well,�� this kind of term, to describe the Heavenspan World��s number one person, Dao Ancestor Life!


    These words sounded somewhat ridiculous.


    But right now, nobody could laugh.


    Ye Yuan said, ��My right and wrongs, future generations will naturally comment on it. How can it be summed up in a few words by you? It��s just that, whether is it being crowned with eternal glory or leaving behind a bad name forever, what has it got to do with me? I, Ye Yuan, follow my heart when I do things. Who the hell are you, to make me specifically come and provide an explanation to you?��


    ��The reason why I came is just that I wanted to see what��s there on my body that��s worth you coveting! Previously outside the mountain pass gates, I could already confirm it! Heh, speaking of which, apart from breaking the shackles, what else in this world can still move you, this number one Dao Ancestor? You concealed your selfish motives under the righteousness of the human race, being truly shameless to the extreme!��


    ��If you disregard your identity and personally made a move against me, I can still regard you a little higher. It��s just a pity that although you��re honored as a Dao Ancestor, you��re an out-and-out despicable villain! Do you think that by becoming a Dao Ancestor, you can transcend your race and laugh proudly at the world? You don��t know that you��re merely just an ant-like existence in the eyes of Heavenly Dao too!��


    Finished saying these words, the entire audience was deathly silent.


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in great shock.


    ��Breaking the shackles��, these three words, seemed to have magic powers, capturing everyone��s heart.


    ��What �� What did he say just now? Breaking the shackles! Could it be that Lord Saint Azure is actually able to break the shackles of Dao Ancestor?��


    ��A secret that can make Dao Ancestors improve further? No wonder Dao Ancestor Life will covet it!��


    ��But how is this possible? Since time immemorial, Dao Ancestors are the strongest! Even in the era that the divine race ruled, they were unable to break through the existence of Dao Ancestors too. How can someone possibly break the shackles of Dao Ancestor?��


    �� ��


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, Ye Yuan��s words made everyone��s emotions blow up.


    The words he said were indeed too earth-shattering.


    This kind of thing was too fantastical, already exceeding their imagination.


    Originally, they were still curious why Dao Ancestor Life wanted to target Lord Saint Azure.


    After all, Lord Saint Azure was the entire human race��s hero!


    But if it was according to what Ye Yuan said, then everything could be explained!


    The expression on Lin Chaotian��s face did not change much, but he already hated Ye Yuan to the extreme in his heart.


    He still underestimated Ye Yuan and did not think that Ye Yuan was actually so clever!


    He actually saw through his intentions from the little clues and inklings.


    He thought that he understood Ye Yuan very well, thinking that Ye Yuan would definitely care about the title of Saint Azure.


    It was just a pity, he still projected his own shortcomings onto others!


    Ye Yuan��s head had always been clear until it could make people��s hair stand on end!

 Chapter 2441 - Utterly Shameless!

    ��Utter nonsense! Dao Ancestors are the strongest in the Heavenspan World. This is everyone��s consensus. You want to use this to absolve from your crime, simply laughable!�� Lin Chaotian said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan similarly repaid with a cold smile as he said, ��You had Lin Huan and Lin Lang test my depths in front of the mountain pass gates. Wasn��t it in order to measure my strength? How is it, are you satisfied or not?��


    Actually, on the way here, Ye Yuan thought of many possibilities.


    But he did not understand Lin Chaotian and also did not know how his character was.


    Li-er rescued Daymeld, this matter was indeed easy to set off denouncing. Dao Ancestors launching an attack was also not incomprehensible.


    But, encountering Lin Huan and Lin Lang in front of the mountain pass gates, it suddenly dawned upon Ye Yuan in his heart.


    Ye Yuan knew that that was probing, but so what?


    You want to see it, then I��ll show you!


    He knew that his cultivation method probably really aroused observant and conscientious people��s coveting.


    Regarding this point, Ye Yuan was actually long already mentally prepared.


    After all, walking along the way, his performance was too monstrous. If it aroused the attention of some observant and conscientious people, wanting to find clues was not hard.


    Let alone that with Lin Chaotian��s strength and status, investigating one Ye Yuan was seriously too easy.


    As long as he was willing, he could investigate Ye Yuan inside out.


    Now, Lin Chaotian was being overbearing, attempting to infuriate him, confirming his idea even more.


    Conceirng Lin Chaotian coveting his cultivation method, Ye Yuan was not surprised about it.


    It was just that his method was a little too despicable.


    Lin Chaotian just smiled lightly and said, ��Looks like Lord Saint Azure is destined to betray the human race! Since that��s the case, then this ancestor can only carry out justice on the behalf of Heavenly Dao, and take you down!��


    While talking, the horrifying aura on Lin Chaotian instantly covered the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.


    Once a Dao Ancestor was enraged, floating corpses will span hundreds of millions of miles!


    Their power was simply unimaginable.


    This level of powerhouse attacking, could rent the sky asunder and split the earth open, even causing the entire world to fall into collapse.


    Otherwise, it would also not have been called Doomsday Battle.


    Now, this level of powerhouse actually wanted to deal with a martial artist who just entered Deva Realm, how could it not make people��s expressions change?


    Even if situated outside of the mountain pass gates, Pang Zhen and the rest also felt as if the apocalypse had arrived.


    This kind of terrifying power was what they had never witnessed before.


    Dao Ancestor powerhouses had already not displayed their power in front of the world for far too long.


    But today, Lin Chaotian made a move against Ye Yuan!


    Wan Zhen��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��Not good! Is �� Is this the power of rules? Really too terrifying! Dao Ancestor Life actually really dares to risk universal condemnation, and make a move against Lord Saint Azure!��


    Pang Zhen gritted his teeth and said, ��How can this be?! With His Excellency��s loftiness, how can he possibly betray the human race? Could it be that these Dao Ancestors don��t distinguish black from white?��


    The warriors of the unpredictable legion were all filled with righteous indignation.


    In their hearts, Ye Yuan was a god-like existence!


    The astonishing battle of Eight Void Mountain already completely subdued them.


    That kind of loftiness, that kind of devising strategies in a command tent, that kind of life and death struggle, was etched deeply in each person��s heart.


    But now, the Dao Ancestors were actually going to make a move against their spiritual leader, they were unable to tolerate it.


    It was just that they also knew that this sort of thing was not what they could intervene in at all. They could only wait here anxiously.


    Terrifying wood-attribute power of rule enveloped the entire Origin Enlighten Hall.


    The space here was directly locked down by the power of rule!


    Reaching the realm of rule, one already touched the origin of Heavenly Dao, arriving at the same destination via different means.


    Lin Chaotian��s power of rule could completely affect spatial law, not letting Ye Yuan escape.


    How could the power of rule of the number one Dao Ancestor be of the common sort!


    Lin Chaotian��s strength had long already reached an inconceivable realm.


    Even for those Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses, apart from those few pinnacle-most progenitors, the others could not even move a muscle!


    This kind of terrifying power made their faces change abruptly.


    Everyone knew that Dao Ancestors were strong, but today, it was their first time witnessing the true power of a Dao Ancestor.


    Too horrifying!


    With Lin Chaotian��s strength, killing Deva Fifth Blights was simply effortless!


    Lin Chaotian looked at Ye Yuan, an attitude of looking down from a height, as he said coolly, ��Saint Azure, this ancestor honors that you toiled hard and rendered great merits. So I won��t kill you today. I��ll only imprison you in Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma! After quelling the divine race, this ancestor will naturally let you leave! I believe that you don��t have any objections, right?��


    These words carried strong sympathy.


    As if him not killing Ye Yuan was a great bestowal on Ye Yuan.


    He was strong, so his words were natural law!


    Ye Yuan��s matter had no final verdict at all.


    Especially that Ye Yuan threw out a speech on breaking the shackles. It added an additional trace of conspiracy to Lin Chaotian��s actions and behavior even more.


    It was just that at this time, who would come forward and speak up for Ye Yuan.


    Who dared to step forward and speak up for Ye Yuan?


    Facing Lin Chaotian��s powerful pressure, Ye Yuan was composed and collected. He just smiled coldly and said, ��Lin Chaotian, you showed your true colors, right? If you��re really doing it for the good of the human race, and if you really suspect that I��ll betray the human race, shouldn��t you directly kill me now? Imprisoning me in Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma, are you planning on subjecting me to torture, to ask about the secret on me? Come on, kill me if you have the ability!��


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, they had never heard of such a request before!


    But they also perceived it, Ye Yuan was mocking Lin Chaotian!


    Lin Chaotian did not want to kill Ye Yuan at all.


    Lin Chaotian had experienced the vicissitudes of ten billion years. How could he be goaded by a sentence?


    He just said coolly, ��Saint Azure is worrying too much! You created the human race��s flourishing age through the ages, merits outweighing demerits! If this ancestor kills you, wouldn��t I become someone who��s ungrateful and forgets kindness? You rest assured. This ancestor will keep my word. After quelling the divine race, I��ll definitely let you go!��


    ��Enough! Lin Chaotian, put away your disgusting face! Saint Azure was brought here by this emperor. Sp if you want to make a move against him, step over this emperor��s dead body! Heh heh, if you take care of Saint Azure himself and Saint Profound��s descendants today, you��ll be able to laugh overlooking the world tomorrow!�� Right at this time, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets completely exploded.


    The more he thought, the more he felt that Lin Chaotian��s motives were not pure.


    If Ye Yuan did not say, he would not have imagined it.


    But Ye Yuan already put it so clearly. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets came from that era too. So how could he not understand Lin Chaotian��s scheme?


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s words were extremely believable!


    Lin Chaotian gave Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets a glance and said coolly, ��Us nine great Dao Ancestors control the Heavenspan World together! Since you say so, then this matter will be decided together by the nine great Dao Ancestors! Everyone, how do you all think that this matter should be dealt with?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� expression changed wildly!


    One Dao Ancestor Life, although the weight of his words was heavy, he dreaded the name of Azure and Profound Dual Saints.


    But nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands, this weight was too terrifying!


    These nine people joining hands could pierce a hole in the sky!


    ��Saint Azure��s talent is too strong, if he defects to the divine race, probably even us Dao Ancestors won��t be able to suppress too! This ancestor feels like for the safety of the human race, we should imprison him temporarily!�� Dao Ancestor Destruction said indifferently.


    ��This ancestor concurs!��


    ��This ancestor concurs too!��


    �� ��


    As they spoke, seven great Dao Ancestors spoke one after another, their statements were actually surprisingly unanimous!

 Chapter 2442 - Rule Cage, Space Freeze!

    ��What about you, Ancestor Lightning?�� Lin Chaotian looked in Ancestor Lightning��s direction and said calmly.


    The other seven great Dao Ancestors already made their stands known. Only Ancestor Lightning seemed to still be hesitating.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets seemed to have seen the last trace of hope and said loudly, ��Pang Tian! Pang Zhen is right outside. Don��t you know how great his change is? Even he doesn��t believe that Saint Azure will betray the human race. Do you believe it?��


    Ancestor Lightning was still silent. His gaze pierced through the hall, looking toward Pang Zhen outside of Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.


    Everyone��s gazes were focused on Ancestor Lightning.


    After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said calmly, ��This ancestor concurs!��


    Buzz!


    Inside the hall immediately burst into an uproar!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was livid with rage, cursing Ancestor Lightning loudly for being devoid of gratitude.


    It was just that he could not change the result.


    His individual strength was too weak!


    No one could have thought that the nine great Dao Ancestors who had always been discordant were actually unexpectedly unanimous with regards to Ye Yuan��s matter!


    But didn��t this confirm Ye Yuan��s argument even more?


    With the nine great Dao Ancestors having a united front, this was a power that carried heaven and earth along!


    With this kind of power and influence, who dared to stop them?


    Even if they coveted the secret on Ye Yuan, so what?


    They were the truth!


    They were power!


    They were sublime!


    With Ancestor Lightning making his stance clear, Lin Chaotian smiled slightly and looked toward Ye Yuan as he said, ��Something that us nine great Dao Ancestors decided on, is something decided by heaven! Even if the divine race��s Tian Qing was here, he wouldn��t be able to refute it too! Do you submit?��


    At this time, those people supporting Ye Yuan were already in despair.


    Nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands, who could still overturn the heavens?


    Just as Dao Ancestor Life said, even if Tian Qing was here, he would not be able to escape alive too!


    Facing the powerful pressure of nine great Dao Ancestors, Ye Yuan appeared composed and collected.


    He looked at Lin Chaotian and said with a light smile, ��You nine great Dao Ancestors were single handedly created by me. Now, if I allow you all to knead me as you please, wouldn��t I become a joke?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Lin Chaotian laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, times have changed. Those below Dao Ancestor are ants! Just based on your current strength, you also have wishful thinking of escaping from under our hands?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If I want to go, I��ll go. What can you do to me? Since I dared to come, I naturally have confidence in leaving! So what if nine great Dao Ancestors?��


    His words made the hall explode all at once.


    ��He �� He wouldn��t have gone crazy, right? Space is already completely locked down! Even if he��s proficient in spatial law, it��s also impossible to escape from under the eyelids of Dao Ancestors!��


    ��Is there anyone in this world who can escape from under the cooperation of nine great Dao Ancestors? This is impossible!��


    ��Maybe he can in the future, but right now �� it��s absolutely impossible!��


    �� ��


    No one believed Ye Yuan��s words, because that was something completely impossible.


    What were Dao Ancestors?


    To really talk about it, Dao Ancestors were the darlings of heaven!


    They were the absolute powerhouses!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets could be said to be the number one emperor in ancient and modern times already. But in front of Dao Ancestors, he was still nothing.


    Let alone that it was nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands!


    Sure enough, Lin Chaotian smiled disdainfully and said, ��Is that so? Then this ancestor wants to witness Lord Saint Azure��s methods!��


    Finished saying, Lin Chaotian gently pressed a palm down.


    A cyan-colored palm carried horrifying to the extreme wood-attribute power of rule and crushed towards Ye Yuan.


    Space was already locked down, but the power of this palm was sufficient to crush Deva Fifth Blights to dust!


    A casual palm, but it made everyone present change expressions abruptly.


    Ye Yuan just stood with his hands behind his back, as if he did not see this palm.


    Boom!


    The ground surface of the hall directly had a deep pit smashed out. That place already did not have Ye Yuan��s figure.


    Origin Enlighten Hall had extremely powerful array formations guarding. But this palm actually directly shattered the array formation.


    However, Lin Chaotian��s expression changed wildly.


    It was his first time having a visible change in countenance.


    Lin Chaotian��s figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.


    When he appeared again, he was already outside the hall.


    Above the void, Ye Yuan was still standing with his hands behind his back, as if nothing had happened.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Eight great Dao Ancestors as well as those powerhouses all followed out.


    Everyone��s gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were full of amazement. It was as if looking at a monster.


    ��Is this the power of a Dao Ancestor? Merely thus!�� Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian, full of disdain.


    There was already nothing in this world that could make Lin Chaotian, this level of powerhouse, visibly moved.


    But today, he was truly shocked!


    Ye Yuan actually escaped from under his eyelids!


    ��This �� How is this possible? Space was clearly already locked down, even if it��s a Deva Fifth Blight, it would be impossible to escape too. How did he do it?��


    ��Too inconceivable! Could it be that Ye Yuan��s spatial law already surpassed the power of rules?��


    ��No wonder Saint Azure is so calm! This is simply too inconceivable!��


    �� ��


    Shocked words lingered on incessantly, everyone was dumbstruck with amazement.


    The space inside the hall just now was clearly already locked by Lin Chaotian, Ye Yuan was absolutely unable to escape.


    But Ye Yuan vanished from under their eyelids just like that!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was very ugly. His majesty as Dao Ancestor was seriously provoked by Ye Yuan today.


    ��Your spatial law should be rank three source currently, right? Under my power of rule, even rank five source can��t possibly escape. So how did you do it?�� Lin Chaotian looked at Ye Yuan with piercing eyes as he questioned.


    He was extremely shocked in his heart. At the same time, he was also extremely excited.


    Ye Yuan��s means were definitely related to the secret on him!


    The more mysterious his means were, the stronger it meant this secret was!


    If this secret was obtained by him, then what kind of terrifying realm would his strength reach?


    Even thinking about it made people��s hot blood seethe with excitement!


    Ye Yuan seemed to have seen through what Lin Chaotian was thinking and said with a sneer, ��What you��re thinking is right. It��s indeed related to a secret of mine! If you want to know, wouldn��t you know after capturing me?��


    Lin Chaotian��s face turned black and he said in a deep voice, ��A bunch of nonsense! No matter how clever your tongue is, you can��t escape today either!��


    Finished saying, he raised his fingertips. A surge of even more terrifying power of rule instantly spread across the world.


    At this time, it was as if the entire Heavenspan World��s wood power of rule was used by Lin Chaotian.


    In virtually an instant, the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range��s space was enveloped by the power of rule.


    ��Rule cage! Space freeze!��


    ��Hiss ����


    The faces of those powerhouses changed suddenly. They knew that Dao Ancestor Life became serious.


    Rule cage was a unique method of rule powerhouses.


    Those who reach the realm of Deva Fifth Blight, because of their closeness to Heavenly Dao, their application of spatial law would reach an extremely terrifying level.


    Therefore, in a battle between Deva Fifth Blights, wanting to kill the other party was too difficult.


    But Dao Ancestors could use the power of rule to seal off the entire region of space, leaving one with nowhere to run!


    Under the power of rule, everything was futile!


    This move was far stronger than that sort of casually sealing off space earlier.


    They felt as if the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range��s space was frozen. They found it hard to take even a single step.

 Chapter 2443 - Not One Of!

    ��Ye Yuan, this is already not that era where you��re called Saint Azure! This is the era of Dao Ancestors! In front of Dao Ancestors, everything is in vain!��


    Lin Chaotian had an imposing momentum, descending upon the world as if nobody in the world could beat him!


    At this moment, almost one-tenth of the Middle Realms could feel the pressure of a Dao Ancestor.


    The Heavenspan World was incomparably vast, one-tenth of the Middle Realms, the vastness of its area was virtually unimaginable.


    It could be seen how terrifying Lin Chaotian��s current aura was.


    The power of rules was akin to heaven��s might!


    That kind of terrifying power, mortals simply could not imagine it!


    When a Dao Ancestor got serious, heaven and earth changed colors!


    In front of such heavenly might, the only one who could maintain composure was probably only Ye Yuan.


    He looked at Lin Chaotian and said coolly, ��Is that so? Since the era of Dao Ancestors was single handedly created by me, then let me single handedly end it! Lin Chaotian, I��m still not your match today, but before long, I��ll be back.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around and took a step out. With a disappearance and reappearance, he actually already arrived 100 thousand miles away!


    Lin Chaotian��s rule cage actually did not have the slightest effect on Ye Yuan!


    The entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range��s cage existed only in name!


    Dao Ancestors were ignored!


    The expressions of the nine great Dao Ancestors changed wildly, their faces shocked to the extreme.


    ��This is impossible! How �� How did he do it?�� Ancestor Fire��s face was close to distorted.


    No one had ever dared to provoke the majesty of Dao Ancestors before.


    But today, it was provoked by a fellow who just entered Deva Realm!


    ��Still in a daze for what? Attack together, must keep him back! This ancestor doesn��t believe that the nine of us joining hands can��t even hold a guy who just entered Deva Realm!�� Lin Chaotian��s face was dark, his figure already disappearing from where he was, chasing after.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors pulled themselves together and chased after right away.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range fell into chaos in an instant.


    Outside the mountain pass gates, the faces of those powerhouses changed wildly one after another, each and everyone fleeing in disorder.


    ��Quickly go! The might of Dao Ancestors is too terrifying!��


    Ye Yuan intentionally went in the opposite direction. But even so, with nine great Dao Ancestors attacking in unison, this commotion was still too terrifying.


    Everyone felt that heaven and earth were shaking.


    It was true shaking, like an earthquake.


    Nine great power of rules erupted at the same time, triggering the power of heaven and earth. That kind of power could truly topple mountains and overturn the seas, it was unimaginable.


    Under this kind of chaos, the entire space was completely disrupted.


    Wanting to travel through space was totally impossible.


    Nine auras that blotted out the skies and covered the earth caught up to Ye Yuan in virtually an instant, locking onto him firmly.


    ��Rule cage, lock!��


    Nine great Dao Ancestors took action together.


    Space seemed to really be frozen.


    The few scattered flying birds were directly immobilized in the air, unable to even flap their wings.


    However, Ye Yuan took another step out, walking out of the iron plate-like cage once again.


    Ye Yuan turned back calmly and said, ��Stop making futile efforts! You all can��t lock onto me! Forget that you all don��t know spatial law. Even if you cultivate spatial law to the realm of rule, you can��t keep me too!��


    These words were indescribably domineering!


    In this world, there was only Ye Yuan alone who could say this sentence calmly in front of nine great Dao Ancestors!


    How could they know that the spatial law Ye Yuan used was already not the Heavenspan World��s spatial law, but the chaos world��s spatial law!


    In the past, spacetime was in reverse chaos, Ye Yuan traveled through spacetime and returned to the previous epoch, and had an extremely deep understanding of spacetime law.


    At that time, what he comprehended was his own spacetime law, and not the Heavenspan World��s spacetime law.


    Hence, after he returned, he gave people an illusory feeling.


    That sort of understanding did not disappear along with his return, but continued to accumulate, ferment, all the way until he broke through to Creation Realm!


    After reaching the Creation Realm, Ye Yuan completely erupted!


    The chaos world evolving heaven and earth, what it brought was not just the increase in strength, it also deepened his understanding of Heavenly Dao and the power of laws.


    What Ye Yuan was walking, was a path that no one had ever walked before.


    He did not need to imitate anyone��s tracks. What he had to walk was his own footmarks.


    Even with Heavenspan World this blueprint, he also did not follow the Heavenspan World��s appearance to create another Heavenspan World.


    He comprehended his own time law, his own spatial law.


    And now, he could freely superimpose one or two spatial nodes of the chaos world with the Heavenspan World.


    He could traverse through space at will within the range of his chaos world.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors wanted to use the Heavenspan World��s rules to imprison Ye Yuan; wasn��t this a joke?


    Just as Ye Yuan said, even if they comprehended spatial rule, it was also impossible to do anything to him!


    And this was also precisely where Ye Yuan��s confidence for daring to come lied!


    Ye Yuan had pride, but he was not stupid.


    Something like walking right into a trap, he would not do it.


    The entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range was shocked.


    At this very moment, Origin Enlighten Mountain Range attracted too much attention.


    Everyone all thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure this time.


    But who knew that even with nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands, they were still actually unable to deal with Ye Yuan!


    ��I��m blind! I��ve definitely gone blind! Even the power of rules is actually unable to lock onto Ye Yuan!��


    ��I somewhat believe Ye Yuan��s words now. The secret on him is too terrifying! No wonder even Dao Ancestors will be moved!��


    ��No wonder he dared to come! Even the power of rules can��t lock onto him, it��s tantamount to being in an undefeatable position!��


    �� ��


    At this moment, virtually the entire Heavenspan World��s upper echelons were shaken.


    That moment when the nine great Dao Ancestors joined forces, everyone thought that Ye Yuan was finished.


    But no one thought that the final result actually had a dramatic change occur.


    Dao Ancestor Life taking action was unable to keep Ye Yuan!


    Following that, nine great Dao Ancestors joined hands and were still unable to keep Ye Yuan!


    If talking about the most shocking thing in this world, it was absolutely not a Dao Ancestor being defeated, and also not Tian Qing coming into being.


    This play today was absolutely the most, most shocking thing in the history of the Heavenspan World!


    Not one of!


    This matter shall be written into the annals of history!


    A martial artist who just entered Deva Realm actually escaped alive under the teaming up of nine great Dao Ancestors!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    His gaze turned dark and he said, ��Since I can��t lock you down, then this ancestor will shatter this entire region of space! This ancestor wants to see what you��ll use to resist!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a terrifying wood power of rule bloomed once again.


    Only to see his right foot stomp lightly, the earth shook and mountains swayed!


    Rumble!


    Fine spatial cracks spread out in all directions with him as the center.


    The space within a radius of a million miles started collapsing!


    Endless spatial storms were swept in from the spatial turbulent flows.


    This was the strength of a Dao Ancestor!


    It was just that he still underestimated Ye Yuan.


    Without space being locked down, Ye Yuan could travel millions of miles in an instant. How could a Dao Ancestor hold him?


    Hence, he had nothing to fear!


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian and said coolly, ��Today��s matter, this Ye has remembered it! The day when this Ye returns, I��ll definitely settle this score properly with you all! Also, my secret, you can��t cultivate it!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s figure gradually faded, finally vanishing!

 Chapter 2444 - Make Way!

    ��Do you all know? The nine great Dao Ancestors�� faces at that time were livid! Someone that even nine great Dao Ancestors can��t keep behind is absolutely the most amazing existence since time immemorial!��


    In the crowd, Bao Inquire talked about the scene at that time with a look of exultation, a look of enrapture on his face.


    While the Heavenly Emperors next to him opened their mouths wide with shocked faces.


    Although they did not believe it, this did not prevent them from being shocked.


    The news of nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands to deal with Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan leaving unrestrainedly, already spread throughout the entire Heavenspan World like the wind.


    It was just that, those who knew the details, was none other than Bao Inquire.


    Bao Inquire��s strength was not strong, but his ability to inquire about news was top-notch.


    Presently, these people around him seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, listening to the story of Ye Yuan��s unrestrained departure.


    ��Bao Inquire, you��re also too bullshit, right? Nine great Dao Ancestors locked down space with the power of rules, how did Saint Azure escape?�� Someone questioned.


    Bao Inquire chuckled and said, ��This is also the most, most mysterious thing! So far, probably even the nine great Dao Ancestors haven��t figured out how Lord Saint Azure did it, right? But I heard that there��s a massive secret on Lord Saint Azure!��


    He clearly knew that these people would question. After all, this matter was too fantastical.


    Although the news already came out, the vast majority of the people felt that this incident was fake!


    In their hearts, Ye Yuan should have passed the nine great Dao Ancestors�� test and was released.


    Such an explanation was more reasonable.


    ��What secret?�� Sure enough, everyone was drawn by his words.


    Bao Inquire��s eyes also revealed a hint of solemnness as he said, ��I heard that he has the secret to break through the shackles of Dao Ancestor on him!��


    ��What?! Bao Inquire, this joke of yours is also too much, right?��


    ��Yeah, breaking through Dao Ancestor��s shackle?! I heard that even the divine race��s major powers can��t break the shackles of Dao Ancestor.��


    ��Bao Inquire, your boasting is becoming more and more outlandish! Hahaha ����


    �� ��


    Actually, the events of that day, the news that really transmitted out were extremely, extremely little.


    No idea what channel this Bao Inquire used either, to have actually inquired quite a bit of inside news.


    It was just that this piece of news was too earth-shattering and already exceeded people��s understanding.


    Therefore, even if said, it was also treated as a joke by people.


    Bao Inquire just chuckled and said, ��What the hell do you guys know! Originally, I also thought that the nine great Dao Ancestors summoned Saint Azure for the human race��s safety. But, only all the way until Lord Saint Azure exposed this matter was the objective of the nine great Dao Ancestors completely bared there and then!��


    He paused for a bit and continued, ��Although there��s no solid proof for this, you all use your brains and think. The nine great Dao Ancestors raised a big rumpus to deal with a martial artist who just entered Deva; don��t you all find it odd? Furthermore, Lord Saint Azure��s awe-inspiring righteous aura rippled out in all directions on Origin Enlighten Mountain. Tens of millions of martial artists spontaneously rectified his name, how can he possibly betray the human race? This logic, even we can understand it. So would Dao Ancestors not understand? If not, what can move nine great Dao Ancestors at the same time?��


    Bao Inquire��s analysis was too articulate, making the group of Heavenly Emperors draw a cold breath.


    If this matter was true, then it was simply incredible!


    ��But what��s above Dao Ancestor? Is there really someone who can surpass Dao Ancestor in this world?��


    Bao Inquire��s gaze was deep as he said, ��Then there��s only waiting for that day when Lord Saint Azure returns! Currently, the nine great Dao Ancestors have already declared that Saint Azure betrayed the human race. Everyone has the right to punish. It��s just that there are barely any who believe it! But it��s probably irreconcilable till death between Saint Azure and the nine great Dao Ancestors!��


    The group of Heavenly Emperors were extremely shocked. There was actually someone who was irreconcilable till death with the nine great Dao Ancestors!


    This matter was definitely an eternally strange tale!


    �� ��


    When the entire Heavenspan World was in a stir about this, Ye Yuan already embarked on the road to the west.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors jointly announced to strip Saint Azure of his title and viewed him as the traitor of the human race.


    Except, there were few believers.


    The battle of Origin Enlighten Mountain Range was too sensational.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s prestige in the human race, there were barely any who believed Lin Chaotian their rubbish.


    Walking along the way, Ye Yuan did not cover up his tracks.


    Many powerhouses saw Ye Yuan and directly let him pass, without any intention of stopping at all.


    Especially the land of the Western Realms, it was the land where Ye Yuan fought dauntlessly in bloody battles. His prestige was even more unbelievably high.


    There were even many powerhouses who knew that he was passing through and even took the initiative to come up to say hello.


    One needed to admit, it was kind of ironic.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently standing in front of the entrance of the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms, sighing ruefully.


    There was already a large number of abyss monster corpses that fell in front of him.


    Back then, he entered the Abyss Suppressing Eight Realms from here and had a great battle with the Dragon Clan.


    At present, this place already became a wasteland. There was devilish energy everywhere and no longer the natural grace in the past.


    The eight great supreme demon clans had lasted here for as long as ten billion years for the sake of guarding the abyss.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also planned for a long time for the resurgence of the human race.


    But, the nine great Dao Ancestors stood at the pinnacle of the Heavenspan World, what had they done?


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan��s body had uncontrollable killing intent spilling out.


    Reaching the human race��s life and death juncture, these few fellows were actually still coveting the secret on him.


    It was not that his Chaos Heavenspan Canon could not be spread. It was just that his cultivation system was too unique. The nine great Dao Ancestors�� foundation had already been established and it was simply impossible to cultivate.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would have long passed it on.


    Although this cultivation method was precious, in front of the human race��s cardinal principles of righteousness, Saint Profound could even give up his life. So how could he not bear to give up a mere cultivation method?


    ��You �� Don��t you get too smug! The divine race��s lords are currently on the way and are about to arrive soon!�� A Deva Realm abyss monster said fearfully.


    As Ye Yuan advanced, he said coolly, ��I��m just going to the Abyss World to take a look. Those who block me, die!��


    The group of abyss monsters exchanged glances, their faces dumbfounded.


    Both sides had already been fighting for many years. They had never seen before such an arrogant person, to actually dare to enter the Abyss World alone!


    This guy was too arrogant!


    Before long, a large group of divine race powerhouses arrived.


    The one in the lead was a middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouse.


    When he saw Ye Yuan, his expression could not help changing wildly as he cried out in shock, ��You �� You��re Ye Yuan!��


    Hearing this name, the expressions of the divine race members and abyss monsters who were traveling with him all changed wildly.


    This name was simply a nightmare-like existence in the divine race presently!


    Eight Void Mountain��s battle, more than half of the divine race and abyss devil race were killed and injured, suffering a great loss in vitality.


    Ten billion years of accumulation was virtually destroyed overnight!


    This kind of disastrous lesson already turned into a nightmare, imprinting deeply into each divine race member��s heart, unable to be erased.


    This person was simply the devil!


    Ye Yuan looked at the other party and said coolly, ��I��m going to the abyss! Make way!��


    That middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouse opened his mouth wide, having a look of disbelief on his face.


    This devil-like figure was actually going to head for the abyss alone?


    He could not resist swallowing his saliva. Waving his hand, he said, ��M-Make way! Let him pass!��

 Chapter 2445 - Don’t Provoke Me

    This place was a dark world.


    There was a different moon hanging in the sky, white and holy.


    Under this moon, a figure was walking forward slowly, as if browsing this dark landscape.


    Around him, there were vague figures. It was just that no one dared to approach.


    Ever since Ye Yuan stepped into the abyss, the divine race��s danger warning already rose to the highest level!


    The events here were currently being reported up layer by layer, reporting to the main center of the divine race.


    Before long, the few great progenitors would know this news.


    Before this, the divine race carried out the highest level of surveillance on Ye Yuan.


    Regarding these people, Ye Yuan was naturally well aware of them. However, he directly chose to ignore it.


    If not for the nine great Dao Ancestors causing unexpected trouble, he would have long entered the Abyss World to investigate things thoroughly.


    Ever since seeing Li-er, Ye Yuan was filled with curiosity toward the divine race.


    In order to untie the bell, the person who tied it was required. Wanting to bring back the original Li-er, he naturally had to understand this race first.


    Before this, apart from killing, there was only killing between him and the divine race. There was no time to understand at all.


    Of course, he also did not have that strength.


    Now, he stepped into Creation Realm, his spatial law already reached the acme of perfection. With the strength to protect himself, he could naturally come and investigate thoroughly.


    ��This guy is also too arrogant, right? Is he treating the Abyss World as his own backyard?��


    ��F*cking hell! I heard that even Lord Daymeld nearly died at his hands! If not for that I can��t beat him, I��ll definitely go forth and tear him up right now!��


    ��Too arrogant! Why haven��t those lords come yet? I��m already �� almost about to freaking explode!��


    �� ��


    The divine race was proud.


    However, each step that Ye Yuan took currently, was trampling on their pride.


    None of them dared to attack!


    This person was their nightmare!


    This person killed half of their people!


    This person sent the ten billion year dream that the divine race had been suppressing, back to its original point!


    If it was in the Heavenspan World, then forget it.


    Now, he actually ran to the Abyss World to posture!


    Each one of the divine race members around was livid.


    Ye Yuan was just feeling everything here on his own, the Abyss World was very different from other small worlds.


    The abyss devil race was originally also one of the Heavenspan World��s members.


    They were the divine race��s most loyal lackeys.


    Later on, the divine race retreated in defeat and arrived at the abyss devil race��s base camp, the Abyss World.


    This place was filled with powerful devilish energy, it was the forbidden land of all races.


    When humans came here, it was no different from courting death.


    He was currently walking when a powerful aura came from head-on in front.


    A figure stepped out of the void, his hands behind his back as he looked at Ye Yuan coldly.


    The arrival said coldly, ��Brat, I didn��t expect that �� you actually grew to such a level! A pity I wasn��t able to kill you back then! However, you delivered yourself to the doorstep today, this progenitor won��t be courteous!��


    Ye Yuan lifted his head, it was actually an acquaintance!


    Originguard!


    Back then, in Cloudheart Realm, Ye Yuan almost died at his hands.


    Seeing Originguard appear, the divine race members were extremely aroused!


    Originguard was a late-stage Nine-marks mighty expert. Although he could not be compared to Daymeld, dealing with Ye Yuan was sufficient!


    Each and every one of them was gloating over his misfortune, waiting to see Ye Yuan being killed.


    But Ye Yuan just said coolly, ��So, it��s you. Don��t waste your energy, you go back and tell Tian Qing, I��ll stroll around in the Abyss World for a few days. Then I��ll go and find him.��


    Originguard��s pupils constricted and he said in a cold voice, ��Brat, you are stupid? Just the likes of you, you also want to meet Lord Tian Qing?��


    Waves of jeering laughs came from all around.


    Ye Yuan��s words were too laughable.


    It was true that he was strong.


    But he relied on Eight Void Mountain��s rule grand array to go on a massacre.


    In the Abyss World, there was no rule grand array to protect him.


    Did this guy really take the Abyss World to be his own home?


    Still say stroll for a few days ��


    Ye Yuan did not speak, he just hooked his finger at Originguard, signaling him to come over. The provocation intent was extremely thick.


    ��Courting death!��


    Originguard gave a cold snort. His Heavenly Dao True Martial suddenly released, and he rushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    The horrifying power was the same as back then!


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing directly turned into nothingness.


    It was just that Originguard��s expression changed wildly.


    This move, he actually missed!


    A hundred miles away, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You can��t kill me, but I can kill all of them! Don��t try to provoke me. The consequences are beyond your tolerance. I��m just here to find Tian Qing to have a chat. Don��t. Provoke. Me!��


    Ye Yuan emphasized the last few words heavily.


    Killing intent was extremely thick!


    Originguard was extremely shocked in his heart. He had clearly sealed off this region of space just now, how did Ye Yuan evade it easily?


    Just how many years had they not met? This guy was already strong until such an inconceivable degree?


    ��What on earth is going on? Lord Originguard actually can��t do anything to him?��


    ��This guy is too arrogant! He��s using all of our lives to threaten Lord Originguard!��


    ��Ahhh, ahhh, ahhhhh! He��s going to find Lord Tian Qing to have a chat! Chat your mom! Can this guy be any more arrogant?��


    �� ��


    A feeling of humiliation spread out in everyone��s hearts.


    Originguard was really held down by Ye Yuan. So he did not dare to make a move anymore.


    ��Don��t provoke me,�� these three words, the warning intent was already very thick.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s mood right now was not good.


    Although he did not understand how Ye Yuan evaded his attack, he did not doubt in the slightest that Ye Yuan would really go on a killing spree!


    The reason why he did not currently was just because he did not want to fall out too hard with the divine race.


    Finding Lord Tian Qing to chat �� this guy was not joking!


    This guy ��


    Just as Originguard was stunned, Ye Yuan did not even look at him and left straight away.


    Originguard��s face immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.


    He, an exalted divine race progenitor, was actually ignored by a junior!


    But what could he do?


    Everyone was stunned. No one could have thought that Lord Originguard came personally and was actually threatened by this human.


    Lord Originguard did not even dare to let out a fart!


    �� ��


    The news of Ye Yuan barging into the Abyss World shook the entire divine race very quickly.


    All of the divine race was filled with righteous indignation!


    How much divine race blood stained the hands of this devil?


    Now, he actually ran to the Abyss World to act wildly!


    But, the news of Originguard returning without accomplishing anything, similarly spread like wildfire.


    Everyone was shocked.


    Originguard was one of the Profound Lineage��s progenitors, his strength being fearsome.


    Even he, actually could not do anything to this devil, this was too terrifying!


    What was even more damnable was that the divine race��s upper echelons did not seem to have much reaction with regards to Ye Yuan��s appearance.


    It was like this matter did not happen.


    This made all of the divine race feel even more humiliated!


    At the Profound Lineage ancestral land, Originguard had a look of indignation as he said to the elderly in front of him furiously, ��Lord Originsmile, this matter can��t be tolerated! Lord Originsmile please make a move personally, and kill this boy! Otherwise, where will our divine race��s face go?��


    This old man was the divine race Profound Lineage��s forefather, Originsmile!


    This was a terrifying existence on the same level as Tian Qing!


    A faint smile hung on Originsmile��s face, appearing very calm.


    He motioned for Originguard to sit down, and he said indifferently, ��If he wants to meet Tian Qing, just let him go and meet. Withdraw all of the men. Leave him alone.��


    Originguard��s entire body shook, being stupefied on the spot.

 Chapter 2446 - Unveiling the Eternal Secret!

    ��Lord Originsmile! He already slapped faces until our doorstep. Yet, we��re actually going to watch just like that?�� Originguard had a shocked face as he said unwillingly.


    He was completely unable to understand Originsmile��s way of doing things.


    Something that Ancestor could clearly suppress with a slap if he took action, why did he say to just watch?


    But Originsmile took his time and slowly took his seat and said, ��If you know who he is, you wouldn��t have this kind of thought!��


    Originguard was taken aback, having a baffled look on his face.


    Who was Ye Yuan, could it be that he would not know?


    Back then, he almost killed Ye Yuan!


    ��Who �� Who is he? Although this brat is formidable, he also merely just entered Deva Realm! If Your Excellency took action, how can he have a reason to not die?�� Originguard asked in puzzlement.


    Originsmile smiled faintly and he suddenly changed the topic and said, ��Do you know at whose hands our divine race was defeated back then?��


    Originguard was stunned again, not knowing what Originsmile meant, but he still said, ��Back then, the human race��s 18 grand ancestors suppressed our race��s powerhouses with death. Especially Grand Ancestor Spacetime, he exiled Lord Tian Qing to the spacetime turbulence, that��s how our race was defeated! To be honest, we didn��t lose!��


    Originsmile shook his head and said smilingly, ��You��re wrong! In the last Doomsday Battle, we were defeated by the hands of the human race��s two great saints! It��s just that these two people were too low-profile. So we didn��t know at all! This matter only spread among the humans only recently too.��


    Originguard��s eyes revealed even more puzzlement.


    What did these have to do with Ye Yuan?


    Losing at whose hands, that was all ten billion years ago already, what did it have to do with today?


    Originsmile motioned for him to stay calm and sit down to listen slowly, then he slowly said, ��In the last epoch, the human race was weak. So how did they suddenly rise up and had 18 grand ancestors appear? Don��t you find it strange?��


    Originguard frowned, being uncertain what it meant.


    This was an eternal mystery. They completely did not know why the human race suddenly had experts as plentiful as clouds, suppressing the divine race.


    The human race back then was clearly unbelievably weak.


    Grand Ancestor Spacetime these powerhouses seemed to have jumped out of crevices in a rock.


    ��This �� They naturally acted in secret, hiding in a small world like us, and nurtured these powerhouses!�� Originguard said.


    Originsmile nodded and said, ��Indeed so! It��s just that our divine race has Celestial Master Miluo surveying the world. With so many powerhouses rising up, it��s impossible that he doesn��t detect it at all. But he didn��t detect it. So don��t you find it strange?��


    Originguard��s pupils constricted and he said, ��I-Indeed strange!��


    Originsmile said, ��In the history of the human race, two key figures had appeared before! These two people were respected by the myriad races, and they were conferred the title of Azure and Profound Dual Saints, illuminating through the ages! It was precisely these two key figures who changed the power structure of the Heavenspan World ����


    Originsmile talked tirelessly, and Originguard listened in incredible shock.


    He never thought that there was actually still this unknown past in history!


    After the shock, Originguard suddenly felt that something was not quite right.


    Didn��t he come to find Lord Originsmile to talk about Ye Yuan. So why did he digress to Azure and Profound Dual Saints?


    ��Ye Yuan, but �� but what have these got to do with Ye Yuan?�� Originguard faintly felt that something was not quite right. But he could not figure out the crux, and could only ask.


    Originsmile��s fingers tapped on the table lightly, as if wanting him to relax, and he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Ye Yuan �� is the Saint Azure of the Azure and Profound Dual Saints!��


    Originguard��s pupils constricted, his entire body seemingly like he was electrocuted. He stood up quickly and cried out in surprise, ��What?! Y-Your Excellency, this joke can��t just be said out! If he��s Saint Azure, he should be an old monster who has lived for ten billion years! So how can he possibly only have this bit of strength?��


    Originsmile let out a sigh and said with a bitter smile, ��When this ancestor heard this news, my reaction wasn��t much better than yours. This matter sounds fantastical, however �� it��s absolutely true! This period of ten billion years of spacetime is actually completely in disorder! All of us have been living in a disoriented spacetime! Also, I don��t know what method Ye Yuan used to actually travel through spacetime and return to ten billion years ago, leaving behind 18 inheritance grand arrays for the human race! That��s how it created 18 grand ancestors!��


    Originsmile paused for a bit and said, ��Our divine race was actually defeated by him!��


    Originguard already did not know how to describe his feelings. The thing that Originsmile talked about was simply like a fantasy tale.


    It was too nonsensical!


    But he knew that Originsmile would not joke with him.


    This matter must be absolutely true!


    These bits and pieces that were hidden in the dust of history actually affected the direction of the next ten billion years.


    This kind of means simply surpassed the ancients and amazed the contemporaries!


    Originguard felt that his brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    No idea how long had passed either, before Originguard recovered to his senses from the shock.


    His gaze turned intent and he said, ��Since that��s the case, we should eliminate Ye Yuan even more! Once he grows up, he��ll simply be our divine race��s nightmare!��


    Originsmile smiled bitterly again when he heard that and said, ��It��s too late! He has already grown up!��


    Originguard was perplexed and said, ��Your Excellency, you��re one of the eight great progenitors, with your level of prowess being unmatched. Could it be that you can��t take care of a brat who just entered the Deva Realm?��


    Originsmile shook his head and said, ��It��s not hard for me to kill him! What��s hard is that I��m unable to lock onto him at all! You should have already felt this.��


    Originguard��s entire body shook and he said in disbelief, ��This is impossible! With Your Excellency��s strength, his spatial law is completely useless!��


    Originsmile let out a sigh and said, ��News just came over from the Heavenspan World. Ye Yuan escaped alive from under the cooperation of nine great Dao Ancestors! The nine great Dao Ancestors utilized nine great power of rules to lock space, but he still escaped! No matter how strong this progenitor is, I��m also not stronger than the joined forces of nine great Dao Ancestors augmented by rules!��


    Originguard felt his head explode all at once.


    Nine great Dao Ancestors joined forces and actually let Ye Yuan escape?


    This �� How was this possible?


    Even if Ye Yuan comprehended spatial rule, it was also impossible to accomplish it, right?


    The might of nine great Dao Ancestors, it was what even the divine race��s progenitor was extremely apprehensive of.


    What right did Ye Yuan have?


    He thought that Ye Yuan just relied on spatial law to escape his certain-kill blow.


    Looking at it now, he simply became a joke!


    Originsmile glanced at him and said coolly, ��Now, you understand why he dared to come to the Abyss World by himself, right? Do as I say. Don��t go and provoke him. If we really enrage him, he can��t do anything to us, but those under middle-stage Nine-marks, there are probably few who can stay alive. Let him do whatever he wants to do. As long as it��s not too overboard, leave him alone.��


    �� ��


    The divine race��s upper echelons maintained a tacit understanding unexpectedly.


    The people who had been keeping watch on Ye Yuan all along were also all withdrawn until not one of them remained, making it much more peaceful and quiet for him.


    Ye Yuan knew very well that the divine race��s upper echelons must have obtained news from the Heavenspan World.


    Although the divine race was defeated, it was impossible for them to not leave behind informants in the Heavenspan World.


    The matter of nine great Dao Ancestors joining hands to deal with him shook the entire Heavenspan World, it was impossible for the divine race to not know.


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been moving around on the Profound Lineage��s territory.


    On this day, he arrived at the central region of the Profound Lineage, Heavenly War Hunting Ground!


    This place was the land where divine sons and divine daughters were selected!

 Chapter 2447 - Three Great Heavenly Dao True Martials!

    In the dense forest, there was a stretch of open ground. Five or six men and women were currently carrying out a life and death fight.


    Terrifying Dark marks bloomed in the dense forest, fighting incomparably fiercely.


    A quasi-divine son said in a solemn voice, ��Yuan Ming, you have nowhere to run already! Hand over the Dao mark crystal! Otherwise, die!��


    By the side, a quasi-divine daughter said coolly, ��Yuan Ming, hand the Dao mark crystal to me, I��ll guarantee you from death!��


    When the others heard that, their faces changed.


    That person who was being ganged up on laughed wildly and said, ��The Dao mark crystal is on me. You all come and take it if you have the ability!��


    ��Humph! Courting death!��


    The few people were furious and attacked Yuan Ming at the same time.


    But right then, a layer of ripples surfaced in space. A powerful domain power suddenly erupted.


    The few people had no command over themselves and were directly pushed flying out, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    Yuan Ming was overjoyed. He already harbored the thought of certain death, did not expect that he was saved by someone in the end.


    ��Many thanks for rescuing, Your Excellency!��


    A figure slowly walked out, his aura illusory, making people unable to see clearly.


    However, the expressions of Yuan Ming and the other quasi-divine children changed wildly.


    ��Human!��


    ��Who are you, to actually dare barged into Heavenly War Hunting Ground? Are you tired of living?��


    �� ��


    Yuan Ming and the others were incomparably shocked in their hearts!


    This place was the divine race��s central region. So how could a mere human possibly arrive here without any sound?


    What were the lords doing?


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces and he said coolly, ��Ask you all about someone. Tell me everything about her and I��ll spare you all from death.��


    His words carried a tone that did not allow questioning.


    However, these divine children did not care at all.


    One of them sneered and said, ��Brat, if you have the time to threaten us here, might as well hurry up and run! Heavenly War Hunting Ground has middle-stage Nine-marks powerhouses garrisoning, they must be currently on their way!��


    Whoosh!


    An invisible streak of sword energy came out, that quasi-divine child was already deader than dead before he even had time to react.


    ��Divine Daughter Yue Mengli, I want to know everything about her here,�� Ye Yuan still said nonchalantly.


    The few people were frightened by Ye Yuan, each and every one of their complexions turning pale.


    That streak of sword energy just now was seriously too strong!


    That sort of power surpassed their understanding of humans!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze looked towards that quasi-divine daughter.


    The quasi-divine daughter��s expression changed wildly and she stammered, ��I �� I never heard of this name before! D-Don��t kill me!��


    ��Puchi!��


    The moment a cold light appeared, the divine daughter died!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze looked over toward the quasi-divine son next to her.


    That quasi-divine son seemed to be stared at by the god of death, his hair standing on end.


    But right at this time, one powerful aura after another arrived with a howling, stepping on the air as they arrived!


    ��Impudent! Who dares to cause havoc in the Heavenly War Hunting Ground?�� The arrival��s voice was akin to a great bell, his aura extremely imposing.


    Ye Yuan looked towards the arrival, a hint of a smile flashing across the corners of his mouth.


    Another old acquaintance!


    ��Ye Yuan! You �� Why are you here?!�� When the arrival saw Ye Yuan, he could not help crying out in surprise; even his voice changed.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Xin, long time no see!��


    The arrival was none other than precisely the divine son who was pummeled heavily by Ye Yuan back then. It was Xin!


    Not seeing for many years, Xin��s strength actually broke through to middle-stage Nine-marks too!


    Xin gave a cold laugh and said, ��I didn��t expect that you actually have the ability to sneak into Heavenly War Hunting Ground! Heh heh, it��s just a shame that you��re too stupid, to actually expose your whereabouts here!��


    These few years, Xin had been in charge of the Heavenly War Hunting Ground��s divine children selection all along and did not take part in the war between the two races.


    And the outside world��s news also did not reach here.


    Hence, he did not know what kind of sensation Ye Yuan entering the Abyss World caused.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help laughing as he said, ��I think that you��re mistaken. I didn��t sneak in, but walked in openly.��


    Xin laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� Are you kidding me? Forget about you, even your human race��s Dao Ancestors also don��t dare to enter the Abyss World swaggeringly! You��re actually telling me that you walked in openly?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Looks like your intel is outdated enough.��


    But Xin did not care, smiling coldly as he said, ��You��re here to find Yue Mengli, right? She is no longer who she used to be! She��s currently our divine race��s divine daughter. She is Lord Tian Qing��s successor! In the future, she even has the possibility of reaching Lord Tian Qing��s height!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��ve already met her. I didn��t come to find her. I��m just here to inquire from people on how she lived in the divine race. Since you came, you can tell me about it.��


    Xin laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Why should I tell you? Back then, being defeated at your hands, I cultivated desperately after returning. It��s for the sake of finding you to get revenge! I didn��t expect that you actually delivered yourself to the doorstep! After I cripple you, I��ll bring you in front of Yue Mengli, and let her tell you herself! Hahaha ����


    The defeat back then was a tremendous blow to Xin.


    After returning to the divine race, he cultivated desperately, and entered deep into dangerous places several times, narrowly escaping death.


    His talent was extremely high to begin with. Coupled with painstaking cultivation, that was how he broke through his bottlenecks repeatedly, reaching middle-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm.


    Presently, he was already a top existence in the divine race!


    Such painstaking cultivation was all for Ye Yuan��s sake.


    It was just that he did not know what kind of terrifying level the present Ye Yuan already reached.


    Xin knew that the divine race was defeated, but he did not know that they were defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands.


    When everyone heard that, they all looked toward Ye Yuan with looks of surprise.


    ��So, it��s this human who defeated Lord Xin back then!��


    ��Heh heh, this guy is dead for sure! Lord Xin has really been cultivating desperately these few years. Not only did his cultivation soar, he even comprehended three kinds of Heavenly Dao True Martial!��


    ��Now, among our divine race��s same rank, there��s no one who��s Lord Xin��s match at all! This boy is dead for sure!��


    �� ��


    The gazes that these people looked at Ye Yuan with were already like looking at a dead person.


    They all knew how much Lord Xin had put in his effort for today!


    Ye Yuan looked at Xin and shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Your strength indeed improved considerably, but it��s just a pity that your intel is too outdated! Alright, since you��re not talking, then I��ll beat you until you talk!��


    Xin gave a cold laugh and said, ��You also broke through to the Deva Realm? It��s no use! The current me is no longer the me back then! Heavenly Dao True Martial, release!��


    Void Blade!


    It was only to see Xin reach his hand out and beckon. A golden-colored light blade condensed and formed in his hand!


    Feather of Heavenly Dao!


    A pair of white-feathered wings slowly spread open behind his back.


    Nine Heavens Frost!


    On the body of the Void Blade, there was actually an additional layer of light white frost.


    The moment three great Heavenly Dao True Martials emerged, the terrifying aura immediately swept throughout the entire Heavenly War Hunting Ground.


    All of the divine sons and divine daughters inside were stirred!


    Everyone stopped cultivating one after another and looked toward these two people fighting fiercely in the air.


    ��Who is this, to actually make Lord Xin unleash three great Heavenly Dao True Martials?! This guy is dead for sure!�� A divine son said.


    With three great Heavenly Dao True Martials, his might was boundless.


    Xin stood proudly in the air, akin to a celestial deity. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said coldly, ��Ye Yuan, these three great Heavenly Dao True Martials are all prepared for you! The Void Blade can slash all things in the world! Feather of Heavenly Dao can increase my speed tenfold! Nine Heavens Frost can freeze space! You have no way of evading!��

 Chapter 2448 - Not a Shameful Thing

    ��Oh, is that so? Looks like it��s indeed pretty scary.��


    Facing Xin��s three great Heavenly Dao True Martials, Ye Yuan appeared very calm.


    It was only to see him extend a hand out casually, and he then called out, ��Sword, come.�� Then the Sword of Spacetime came into being!


    The oppressive chill made Xin��s expression change.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually condense a light sword out of thin air too.


    ��Then let me see how strong the three great Heavenly Dao True Martials targeting me are.�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    Xin��s wrath was instantly ignited.


    Ye Yuan did not take him seriously at all!


    ��Courting death!��


    Xin clenched his jaws tightly, the wings behind his back shaking slightly. His figure cut right through the void, arriving a thousand feet in front of Ye Yuan.


    The speed was inconceivably swift!


    Only to see his wrist turn, the Void Blade suddenly slashed, directly slicing open a hole in the void.


    At the same time, layers of frost appeared around Ye Yuan.


    The space around him was actually directly frozen!


    Three great Heavenly Dao True Martials suddenly erupting, the power was truly formidable to the extreme.


    The surrounding divine children were all extremely excited, they were already brought into submission by Xin��s strength.


    ��DIE!��


    Xin let out a loud roar, the Void Blade slashing down without hesitation.


    But right then, Ye Yuan moved.


    There was no astonishing strike with a shocking commotion. Even spatial law was not used, he just met the Void Blade with a casual swing.


    The frost in front of him was directly sliced into two.


    The so-called imprisonment became a joke.


    Xin��s pupils constricted, he did not expect that the light sword in Ye Yuan��s hand was actually so sharp!


    In a blink of an eye, the blade and sword intersected!


    Crack �� Crack, crack!


    The Void Blade in Xin��s hand actually produced fine cracks.


    ��Pffft!��


    Xin seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his entire person being blown away.


    The Void Blade in his hand fragmented inch by inch!


    With a frontal clash, three great Heavenly Dao True Martials collapsed with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan won!


    Xin spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, eyes looking at Ye Yuan in shock.


    Everyone was transfixed, not daring to believe the scene before their eyes.


    Three great Heavenly Dao True Martials, cultivation realm winning Ye Yuan��s, he was actually completely defeated with one exchange?


    This was too ridiculous, right?


    ��N-No way, right? Lord Xin couldn��t even receive a single move?��


    ��Lord Xin is already a top existence among Nine-marks powerhouses. He was actually leapfrogged by a human in cultivation realm and then defeated? W-Who is he?��


    ��When did such a prodigious powerhouse appear in the human race?��


    �� ��


    The divine children felt that their worldview had completely crumbled.


    The powerful divine race was actually defeated by a human!


    ��This is the result of your hard work over these years? Really weak!�� Ye Yuan brandished his sword and cornered Ye Yuan, a look of disappointment on his face.


    Xin was indeed very strong, it was just that he was not even as good as the Daymeld after getting injured, how could he be his match?


    Let alone that the current Ye Yuan was also much stronger compared to when he just broke through.


    Xin had a look that was battered out of his senses, he cultivated bitterly for so long, narrowly escaping death several times, what he waited for was today.


    Ever since the last defeat, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds these few years, and he originally thought that he could avenge himself.


    Who would have expected that he lost in a single exchange!


    The three great Heavenly Dao True Martials were weak like a pile of sand sculptures in front of Ye Yuan, crumbling at a touch.


    Before taking action, he felt that he was strong to the extreme.


    But after attacking, just as Ye Yuan said, he was too weak!


    ��Impossible! H-How can I lose to you? This is impossible! How much hardship have I suffered these few years, it was for the sake of defeating you! I won��t lose! I won��t lose!�� Xin roared angrily.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��You only cared about cultivating, you probably don��t know how many major events happened outside these few years. If you knew, you wouldn��t be so naive anymore. Uh �� But it all doesn��t matter. Tell me about Li-er��s affairs, or �� die.��


    Ye Yuan��s words were said very lightly as if they were friends engaging in small talk.


    But anyone could tell that he did not mind killing Xin off.


    Xin and Nineorigin were both the chief culprits who took Li-er away back then. Ye Yuan did not have the slightest psychological burden in killing him.


    ��Humph! Kill if you want to! Even if I die, I won��t tell you a single word too!�� Xin roared angrily.


    ��Oh, go and die then.��


    Ye Yuan just gave a nonchalant ��oh.�� The Sword of Spacetime was moving forward, and it was about to kill.


    The expressions of the divine children changed wildly, not expecting that Ye Yuan was actually so decisive.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly changed, disappearing from his original spot with a teleport.


    Space trembled slightly. An old man stepped out of the void in front of Xin. Appearing together with him was also Originguard.


    The moment this old man in front of him appeared, Ye Yuan felt an extremely strong pressure.


    This old man looked just like an ordinary old man.


    Too ordinary!


    Then there was only one explanation. This old man was too strong!


    The old man said with a laugh, ��Hoho, well-deserving of being the Saint Azure of eternity. Such keen insight!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, ��You��re �� the Profound Lineage��s progenitor?��


    The old man nodded slightly and admitted, ��This old man is Originsmile. I��m precisely the Profound Lineage��s progenitor.��


    Xin had a shocked face. He did not expect that it actually alarmed Lord Progenitor!


    ��Lord Originsmile, I �� I lost face for the Profound Lineage!�� Xin knelt down and kowtowed as he said.


    Originsmile said smilingly, ��There��s no shame in losing to Saint Azure. Get up.��


    Xin had a dumbfounded look, uncertain what it meant.


    Originguard motioned for him not to talk and to just listen by the side.


    Originsmile looked toward Ye Yuan and said, ��With how honorable Saint Azure��s status is, don��t haggle over things with juniors. Li-er is different from them and isn��t cultivating in Heavenly War Hunting Ground. You can��t inquire about anything too. Why not go to this old man��s place? This old man will tell you everything. How about it?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed tightly, very unhappy with Originsmile��s form of address[1].


    However, he still nodded his head and said, ��Okay!��


    ��Please!�� Originsmile turned sideways slightly and made an inviting hand gesture.


    Ye Yuan did not say a word, figure moving, merging into the void.


    Everyone present was dumbfounded.


    All the way until Originsmile��s figure disappeared, the entire Heavenly War Hunting Ground was deathly silent.


    Lord Progenitor was actually so polite to a human?


    There was no mistake, right?


    Especially Xin, his pair of eyes were almost popping out.


    He thought that Progenitor came to help him kill Ye Yuan. In the end, he was so courteous toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Lord Originguard, this �� what��s going on here?�� Xin asked dumbfoundedly.


    Originguard sighed and said, ��Ye Yuan is no longer the original Ye Yuan! You��ve been in closed-seclusion cultivation all along these few years and don��t know what happened in the outside world. Our divine race��s defeat was thanks to him!��


    Originguard did not hide anything either, briefly recounting Ye Yuan��s matter.


    Finished saying, Originguard patted Xin��s shoulder and said with a sigh, ��Losing to him isn��t something disgraceful. You have to know, even the human race��s nine great Dao Ancestors suffered a big loss to him! Otherwise, with his cultivation realm, how can he dare enter the Abyss World?��


    Finished saying, Originguard turned around and left.


    Xin��s entire person was frozen there, feeling like his entire person was unwell.


    Anyone who heard about Ye Yuan��s affairs would probably not be fine.


    Xin was merely having the same reaction of Originguard back then.


    [1] calling her Li-e

 Chapter 2449 - Realm of Ten-marks!

    Chapter 2449: Realm of Ten-marks!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Amidst an ethereal mountainous landscape, there were pavilions and terraces, with the spiritual energy being extremely oppressive.


    Ye Yuan followed Originsmile to this place and could not help being greatly surprised.


    This place actually had spiritual energy!


    Seemingly detecting Ye Yuan��s surprise, Originsmile said smilingly, ��Devilish energy and spiritual energy are both a type of heaven and earth energy. They can actually be converted into each other. This sort of thing isn��t something that only you can do.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, expressing understanding.


    It was just that who could know the shock in Originsmile��s heart?


    This sounded simple, but apart from the few of them progenitors, no one in the divine race could do it.


    But he already noticed previously that Ye Yuan was constantly refining the devilish energy to cultivate!


    .


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan��s understanding of heaven and earth energy, already reached the level of them, these progenitors!


    This was too terrifying!


    This Saint Azure was exuding abnormality all over his body, even he, this progenitor, could not see through him!


    The two took their seats between the mountains and rivers. Ye Yuan sat opposite of Originsmile calmly, without the slightest fear.


    To bystanders, being so close to a progenitor was equivalent to seeking death.


    But to him, Originsmile was not much different from ordinary people.


    If Originsmile had any malicious intent, Ye Yuan only needed to stir his thoughts and he would be able to leave.


    Within his domain, he made the call!


    ��How is Li-er different from them?�� Ye Yuan went straight to the point.


    Originsmile did not answer. He smiled and said, ��Saint Azure and Little Li are a pair of dragon and phoenix among men, being a match made in heaven and earth. As long as you can join our divine race, you guys will be able to continue your former fated relationship. So why bother working yourself to the bone for those few despicable villains?��


    Those few villains that Originsmile was talking about were naturally referring to the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    Ye Yuan knew that this matter naturally could not hide from the divine race��s progenitors.


    Ye Yuan��s contributions were high until it shocked the world. His accomplishments surpassed ancient and modern times, but he was framed by the nine great Dao Ancestors, becoming the human race��s traitor.


    Who could tolerate this sort of thing?


    If it were ordinary people, the divine race would naturally disdain to rope in.


    But Ye Yuan was different. He was Saint Azure!


    Furthermore, wanting to rope Ye Yuan in, now was the best time!


    As long as Ye Yuan defected to the divine race, the human race would definitely be defeated!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Put away your little ulterior thoughts! I, Ye Yuan, am not working for anyone. I only seek to have a clear conscience! The few of them aren��t qualified enough to make me sell my life!��


    Originsmile was indifferent and said smilingly, ��But, however vast the world is, there��s already no place for you to stay! The human race��s destruction won��t take long either!��


    Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, ��Even if the human race is defeated, I��ll also send you all back into the abyss again in the future!��


    The smile on Originsmile froze, feeling like the topic could not quite continue anymore.


    This guy was really impervious to everything!


    He was somewhat unable to understand why a guy who was abandoned by his race was so stubborn?


    ��You��re very confident huh? It��s just that �� you probably don��t know how strong Tian Qing is! Furthermore, in the near future, we��ll also have one more Tian Qing level powerhouse!�� Originsmile said.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said with a frown, ��You��re talking about �� Li-er?��


    Originsmile nodded and said, ��That��s right! Didn��t you ask how is she different from the rest? She is the same as Tian Qing. She is of the Innate Dao Physique that��s one of its kind! Heh heh, those few Dao Ancestors of your human race think that we��re apprehensive of their Dao Ancestors�� strength. Actually, that��s not the case at all! We��re just waiting for Little Li��s rise! At that time, with two Tian Qings, what will your human race use to stop?��


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he also could not help drawing a cold breath.


    He did not think that Li-er��s talent was actually so powerful!


    No wonder the last time he saw her, she actually gave him a sense of danger.


    One had to know, he already broke through to Creation Realm at that time!


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��If she��s not cultivating at Heavenly War Hunting Ground, then where is she cultivating?��


    ��Ancestral Land! Right now, Tian Qing is personally teaching her! With her rate of improvement, before long, she��ll be able to become our divine race��s second Ten-marks Realm!�� Originsmile said.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils shrunk slightly and he cried out in surprise, ��Ten-marks Realm?��


    Originsmile nodded and said with a smile, ��The seven of us great progenitors are all at the grand completion Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm. Only Tian Qing strode across the shackles of Nine-marks, reaching the realm of Ten-marks! He is undying and imperishable! Hoho, Ye Yuan, I know that you��re very strong, but facing Tian Qing, you still have no chance of winning! How formidable was Grand Ancestor Spacetime back then? Wasn��t he powerless against Tian Qing too? I know that your talent is even greater than Grand Ancestor Spacetime��s. It��s just that at the very most, you can at best tie with him. That��s all! The human race only have one Saint Azure, but my divine race has �� two Tian Qings!��


    Even if the human race produced Ye Yuan, this level of talent who could rule the world, the divine race would never give up on retaking the Heavenspan World too!


    They were still brimming with confidence!


    Where did their reliance lie?


    Tian Qing!


    The realm of Ten-marks!


    This was an insurmountable existence!


    This was an undying and imperishable myth!


    Even if it was Saint Azure, he could at most fight to a draw with Tian Qing too.


    The divine race was not afraid!


    Originsmile looked at Ye Yuan with a smile on his face, he weighed the pros and cons, hoping that Ye Yuan could change his mind.


    After all, the human race already had nothing worthy of him being reluctant to part anymore.


    He believed that Ye Yuan was a clever person and knew which side to choose.


    This Doomsday Battle was a war without the least bit of suspense, from that moment when the divine race obtained Li-er!


    However, after Ye Yuan experienced the initial-most shock, he slowly raised his head and looked at Originsmile meaningfully, and said with a smile, ��In your mind, I can only fight to a draw with Tian Qing?��


    Originsmile chuckled and said, ��I know what you want to say. Those few guys are already possessed by the devil, to actually believe this sort of thing. Or is it that you really believe that you can become a sovereign above Dao Ancestors? No one can transcend worldliness in this world!��


    In Originsmile��s view, this rumor was just a wishful thinking of the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    It was just that they did not know how much research Lin Chaotian had done on Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan was an ordinary genius, how could he have entered his arcane sights?


    The Heavenspan World��s spiritual energy being resurrected, Heavenspan Mountain��s phantom, an unusual cultivation realm, it all proved his conjecture!


    Otherwise, how could Lin Chaotian make a move to target Ye Yuan at the risk of universal condemnation?


    The allure of breaking the shackles was seriously too great!


    Especially to them, these Dao Ancestors, this sort of allure was simply irresistible.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I also don��t know if I can transcend worldliness or not, but I won��t let the divine race enslave the human race again! This is my bottom line! If you all want to return to the last epoch, then step over my dead body!��


    As he said, he slowly got up, and said coolly, ��Alright. Dissidence of opinion makes it useless to talk. Looks like we have nothing to talk about. I want to see Tian Qing!��


    Clearly, Originsmile could not convince Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan likewise could not convince Originsmile.


    The desperate struggle between the two races would not change because of him, Ye Yuan alone.


    And Ye Yuan��s attitude would also never change.


    Even if Li-er would become the second Tian Qing, it was also unable to change Ye Yuan��s determination to protect the human race.


    However, Ye Yuan��s objective in coming to the Abyss World was to understand the reason for Li-er��s change.


    He needed to see Tian Qing!

 Chapter 2450 - You Hurt Me and Laughed It Off!

    Chapter 2450: You Hurt Me and Laughed It Off!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Stepping into this valley, Ye Yuan felt tremendous pressure.


    This kind of pressure, Ye Yuan did not even feel before on the nine great Dao Ancestors�� bodies.


    On both sides, were rows of statues of different shapes and colors.


    The oppression emanating off each statue was actually no less than late-stage Nine-marks powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan had seen the appearance of these statues before. It was precisely those eight statues that he saw at the Hidden Lineage.


    It was just that the statues here were of different shapes, but much more complex than the Hidden Lineage.


    Passing through this corridor of statues, Ye Yuan arrived at the entrance of a huge cave.


    The terrifying undulation that he felt came from precisely here..


    Ye Yuan knew that this place was where the divine race��s truly powerful secret lied!


    Two figures appeared at the entrance of the cave, making Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly turned stiff.


    ��You came?�� Yue Mengli opened her mouth and said. Her tone was still indescribably distant.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Mn, I came to see what turns you into like this.��


    Yue Mengli said coolly, ��This is how I am originally. In the past, it��s just that I didn��t awaken.��


    Ye Yuan��s heart felt pain without any cause, but he still said, ��I��ll bring you home.��


    Yue Mengli did not speak, but her expression was indescribably contemptuous.


    At this time, the old man next to her smiled and said, ��You��re Ye Yuan? Hoho, this old man waited for ten billion years in order to see you!��


    The old man��s smile was very contorted. The aura on his entire person was very messy.


    A little �� hideous and unsightly.


    He looked like he suffered very serious injuries.


    However, Ye Yuan did not remember that he had met him before.


    ��Oh? Why do you want to see me?�� Ye Yuan asked doubtfully.


    The old man��s expression suddenly became extremely savage and he said with a strange smile, ��Why do I want to see you? Jeje �� It��s you who made this old man suffer ten billion years of torment in the ancestral land! It��s you who made this old look neither like a human nor a ghost! Why do you think this old man wants to see you?!��


    A terrifying aura instantly spread out, locking onto Ye Yuan instantaneously.


    That imposing aura was actually not much weaker than Originsmile!


    This old man was actually an existence close to a progenitor!


    However, Ye Yuan��s countenance did not change when facing the nine great Dao Ancestors. So why would he fear an old man?


    He just shrugged and said coolly, ��How would I know? What does the torment you suffered have to do with me?��


    Ye Yuan��s expression triggered the old man deeply.


    He suddenly became incomparably berserk and said with a furious roar, ��You caused this old man to become like this and still dare to laugh it off? Because you and that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets hid from this old man��s surveillance, this old man suffered the agony of being sliced into thousands of pieces here for ten billion years because of self-condemnation! You dare say that it has nothing to do with you?��


    The current old man had bloodshot eyes and was incomparably maniacal, almost rampaging.


    Clearly, he hated Ye Yuan to the extreme!


    And Ye Yuan finally discerned a clue.


    He revealed a faint look of enlightenment and said, ��So, you��re Celestial Master Miluo!��


    Ye Yuan had once heard of this Celestial Master Miluo from Jian Rufeng.


    Back then, although Jian Rufeng and Celestial Master Miluo did not have a frontal confrontation, they had crossed swords secretly for countless years.


    It was just that Celestial Master Miluo himself was not aware.


    However, Jian Rufeng also had the greatest esteem for this Celestial Master Miluo, lauding his divination arts with praises unceasingly.


    Jian Rufengw was also merely a hairsbreadth stronger than Celestial Master Miluo.


    Hence, he had to borrow the power of 100 Jian Family powerhouses before he could shield heaven��s secrets!


    Ten billion years ago, Ye Yuan had once appeared before and had also once attracted Celestial Master Miluo��s attention.


    It was just a pity that Ye Yuan traveled across time and space, heaven��s secrets were fleeting and ephemeral.


    Coupled with that Ye Yuan himself was incomparably unpredictable, therefore, Celestial Master Miluo could not find him at all.


    Furthermore, the time that Ye Yuan appeared was extremely short. Later on, he even disappeared. Therefore, Miluo never met Ye Yuan before at all.


    However, it was precisely these two guys that he had never seen before who made him suffer endless humiliation, making him suffer the agony of being sliced to a thousand pieces in the ancestral land!


    This misery, only he himself understood it.


    What was even more infuriating was that he was defeated without rhyme or reason!


    He did not even know who his opponent was!


    Only all the way until recently, when the legend of Azure and Profound Dual Saints came to light among the human race, did Celestial Master Miluo woke up like a dream!


    Combining with the Heavenly Dao that he divined back then, it was not difficult for Celestial Master Miluo to divine that Ye Yuan was precisely that person that he kept looking for back then but could not find!


    Today, when he saw Ye Yuan, this fury could not be contained any longer and erupted!


    ��Jeje �� Brat, turns out that you know this old man huh! You caused this old man to have no peace for ten billion years. Today, you actually delivered yourself to the doorstep. You can��t be forgiven!�� Celestial Master Miluo said with a strange laugh.


    Ye Yuan had a sad expression on his face as he said, ��Sorry about it, causing you to become like this. I blame myself very much in my heart.��


    Celestial Master Miluo sneered and said, ��It��s too late to blame yourself now!��


    Ye Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said excitedly, ��Not too late, not too late. I blame myself that you��re not miserable enough yet! To actually run into you today, it��s really great!��


    Celestial Master Miluo��s expression changed wildly, and he roared, ��Courting death!��


    A terrifying aura instantly erupted. Celestial Master Miluo raised his hand and it was a punch, the entire space started trembling.


    The horrifying power of Heavenly Dao directly constricted the space where Ye Yuan was standing to the extreme.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and his figure flashed, instantly disappearing from where he was!


    Boom!


    Celestial Master Miluo��s punch missed and his expression could not help changing wildly.


    ��Brat, I see where you can run to in my divine race��s ancestral land!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Celestial Master Miluo completely erupted, hitting until the void trembled.


    However, this ancestral land��s space seemed to be protected by some inexplicable power, it actually did not collapse.


    It was just that no matter how hard Celestial Master Miluo attacked, he could not touch a corner of Ye Yuan��s sleeves.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Celestial Master Miluo, you surveyed the world for the divine race. Have you counted how many have died at your hands directly and indirectly? The crimes that you��ve committed are too numerous to be recorded! These ten billion years aren��t even enough to redeem your crimes! Do you feel pain now? Then those myriad races�� geniuses who died in your hands, do you understand their pain?��


    Ye Yuan��s words were full of disdain.


    Celestial Master Miluo surveyed the world and was also the most notorious executioner at that time!


    The myriad races�� geniuses that died at his hands were simply beyond counting!


    How could these crimes be what ten billion years could redeem?


    Ye Yuan felt that it was not enough!


    Celestial Master Miluo roared angrily, ��Rubbish! My divine race towers above the myriad races! Those ants actually dared to rebel against my divine race, death isn��t regrettable!��


    But Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Is that so? Looks like you hate me very much, then I appeared in front of you, and you also can��t finish me off. Does it feel very uncomfortable? Is the divine race very impressive? You, a progenitor class powerhouse, can��t even take care of me, this new Deva Realm? Really disgraceful!��


    Sure enough, Celestial Master Miluo was driven crazy by Ye Yuan��s words. His so many years of humiliation finally found a place to vent.


    Now, he actually could not do anything to the other party!


    Nothing was more maddening than this.

 Chapter 2451 - Have You Given Up?

    ��Brat, don��t run if you have the capabilities! If you��re a man, have an open and above-board fight with this old man�� Celestial Master Miluo roared angrily.


    He already unleashed all of his abilities and even employed Heavenly Dao True Martial.


    His Heavenly Dao True Martial could predict his opponent��s next move, and it was extremely accurate.


    It was just a pity that it was completely useless against Ye Yuan.


    He could never determine where Ye Yuan would appear in the next second!


    Using coming and going like a shadow to describe Ye Yuan could not be more apt.


    And the space that he sealed off was completely useless against Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan could always escape his lockdown easily.


    Celestial Master Miluo was practically going insane.


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly when he heard that and said, ��Old fogey, pretending to be a man with me? If you have the capabilities, suppress your cultivation realm to the initial-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao Realm. I guarantee that I��ll beat you until even your mum can��t recognize you!��


    The corners of Celestial Master Miluo��s mouth twitched slightly, almost exploding.


    With Ye Yuan��s combat power, if he was in the same realm, he could only be crushed!


    He became completely demotivated!


    Unable to hit him and also could not win in a quarrel, how to play?


    By the side, Yue Mengli��s gaze flickered indeterminately, not knowing what she was thinking about either.


    However, she did not make a move all along, just quietly watching.


    Right then, a voice slowly came from the cave.


    ��Miluo, let him enter. You can��t deal with him.��


    Miluo��s expression changed slightly. Finally, he still gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, ��Yes!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a faint smile, ��Continue blaming yourself then. It��s best that �� you blame yourself for another ten billion years. At that time, perhaps your crimes can be lessened a little. Uh �� of course, if you stop condemning yourself, I��ll lend you a helping hand in the future.��


    Finished saying, he walked away, leaving behind Miluo who had an angry expression.


    Yue Mengli hesitated for a moment and also followed into the cave.


    She led Ye Yuan through the cave.


    Ahead, an archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life hit him head-on.


    This kind of aura seemed to be like an eternal existence as if overriding above all life!


    The further ahead he went, the more Ye Yuan felt an archaic aura, which simply made people prostrate in worship!


    Gradually, an underground hall entered Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    A tall and straight back currently had his back facing Ye Yuan, kneeling in front of the eight god statues.


    Ye Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the eight god statues, and his mind was shocked!


    At this moment, that kind of aura that towered above all life was exceptionally strong.


    The eight god statues seemed to have souls, they were looking at him too!


    Those gazes attacked straight at the heart!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan actually had an impulse to worship!


    These eight god statues wanted to make him submit!


    Ye Yuan��s mind shook greatly, hurriedly mustering the Heavenly Dao power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, to deal with this power.


    Swoosh!


    That man who had his back facing Ye Yuan suddenly launched an attack at this moment, throwing a punch over!


    In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    The terrifying pressure was virtually crushing Ye Yuan into a meat-pancake, making him feel asphyxiated!


    Too strong!


    However, Ye Yuan��s reaction was extremely fast too, immediately urging spatial law!


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing, there was a violent tremor in space.


    But the current Ye Yuan switched positions with that man!


    The man��s attack missing, he did not pursue, but withdraw his aura instead and stood with his hands behind his back, sizing Ye Yuan up with interest.


    ��Well-deserving of being Saint Azure! This ancestor��s attack, even if a Dao Ancestor was here, it would be too late to avoid it too! I didn��t expect that you could actually resist the heavenly might of the eight gods and avoid this strike of mine! I��m very curious. How did you do it?�� The man said with a faint smile.


    This strike earlier, he did not hold back!


    Furthermore, this place had the blessing of the eight god statues, the space was extremely stable.


    Under such a space, wanting to use spatial law to evade attacks was doubly difficult.


    Let alone that the eight god statues�� heavenly might was irresistible.


    Even if a Dao Ancestor was here, they would surely be affected too.


    This strike earlier was absolutely a certain-kill blow in the eyes of the man.


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan actually still evaded it!


    Ye Yuan frowned and looked at the man and said, ��You��re Tian Qing?��


    The man said coolly, ��That��s right. It��s precisely this ancestor! Speaking of which, this ancestor still has to thank you. If not for you restoring the chaotic spacetime, this ancestor will probably still be exiled in the spacetime turbulence.��


    This man was the divine race sovereign who made the Heavenspan World tremble, the one and only Ten-marks powerhouse. He was Tian Qing!


    This blow earlier looked simple, but actually, it was incredibly lethal!


    Ye Yuan deeply felt his power!


    Because that strike earlier, it actually affected his chaos world!


    The current Ye Yuan had his vital energy and blood surging, the chaos world being in havoc.


    It could be seen to what degree the power of this punch was strong until!


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart and said with a sigh, ��I still underestimated the heroes of the world! The force of his fist already reached the level of Dao and can affect my chaos world through spatial nodes! Truly inconceivable!��


    Fortunately, Tian Qing did not have the intention of continuing to attack. Otherwise, whether or not he could walk out of the Abyss World was still unknown!


    Clearly, Tian Qing was wary of Ye Yuan too.


    Earlier, he was just testing a little, to see if Ye Yuan was really as impressive as the rumors.


    If he really killed Ye Yuan, it would naturally be over.


    Who would have thought that he actually still failed?


    Ye Yuan could not even be killed in the ancestral land, it went even more without saying outside.


    However, by the side, Celestial Master Miluo and Yue Mengli were dumbfounded with shock.


    Especially Celestial Master Miluo, his mouth opened wide, and could not close for a long time.


    He had never seen Tian Qing fail before!


    Even if facing Grand Ancestor Spacetime back then, Tian Qing��s attacks would never miss too!


    No one could avoid his punch!


    The Grand Ancestor Spacetime who comprehended spacetime law to the extreme, could not either!


    But Ye Yuan actually evaded it!


    How shocking was this?


    In his view, Ye Yuan entering the ancestral land was completely an act of seeking death.


    But who knew that even the divine race��s strongest, Tian Qing, could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Was this guy really so amazing?


    The fact was, he really was!


    ��Humph! No need to say thanks. One day, I��ll personally kill you with my own hands!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    But when Tian Qing heard that, he laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� someone capable of killing me, there wasn��t any in the past, and there also won��t be any in the future! To tell you the truth, unless these eight gods come to life, otherwise, no one in the Heavenspan World can kill me! I know that your talent is very strong, but it��s useless! This ancestor is undying and imperishable. You can��t kill me! In the future, at best, this ancestor will dread you to some extent. That��s all!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then let��s wait and see!��


    Tian Qing shook his head slightly, seemingly not willing to argue about this.


    His confidence stemmed from his strength that was powerful until it was heaven-defying.


    He had the qualifications to be arrogant!


    ��You came for Little Li. Do you understand it now?��


    Tian Qing looked at Ye Yuan and said smilingly, ��My divine race is a race favored by heaven! These eight gods are precious gifts from heaven, letting us stand above all life! Little Li is someone of the divine race. She��s proud of being a member of the divine race, and she��ll also fight for the divine race! So, have you given up?��

 Chapter 2452 - Goodness Me, Got Swindled!

    These eight god statues in front of him seemed to have a kind of magical power.


    Ye Yuan looked at them and had a feeling of facing the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Strong!


    Ridiculously strong!


    What was the origin of these eight god statues?


    If not for Ye Yuan having the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, he would not have been able to resist the powerful pressure of these eight god statues at all, and would have long surrendered!


    One had to know, even when Ye Yuan was facing the nine great Dao Ancestors, he did not employ the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    These eight god statues were incredibly mysterious.


    Ye Yuan ignored Tian Qing but sized the eight god statues up hard.


    These idols were definitely the key to solving the problem with Li-er!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan stepped forward and walked over toward the first idol.


    This idol was incomparably ferocious, an appearance of baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Its right hand was even holding a fork, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.


    Ye Yuan walked in step by step, the power of that idol also became greater and greater.


    Especially the expression on the idol, it seemed to have changed, becoming unbelievably angry.


    He seemed to feel that this ant in front of him, actually dared to be impudent in front of him!


    Tian Qing watched this scene calmly and did not stop it.


    Yue Mengli frowned a little and said, ��Lord Tian Qing, he ����


    Tian Qing extended his hand to interrupt Yue Mengli��s words and said coolly, ��I know what you want to say, and also know that you still have feelings for him. But this is his own choice! Furthermore, although this ancestor isn��t afraid of him, I also don��t wish for the human race to have an existence that can rival this ancestor to appear! Do you understand?��


    Yue Mengli��s face revealed a reluctant look and closed both eyes in pain.


    Although she firmly believed that she was a member of the divine race, being completely devoted to the divine race, her nature was not wiped out.


    She was still that Yue Mengli.


    She still loved Ye Yuan deeply.


    It was just that she knew Ye Yuan��s character, it was impossible to defect to the divine race for her.


    And it was also impossible for her to return to the human race because of Ye Yuan.


    Therefore, she chose to restrain her feelings.


    But, when Ye Yuan faced life and death, she still could not bear it.


    Ye Yuan approached step by step, the entire hall was trembling.


    Furthermore, the trembling grew stronger and stronger!


    Ye Yuan had the help of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and did not fear the coercion of the idol at all.


    Facing the coercion of the eight idols, the Tai Chi diagram faintly lit up behind him, and was actually trying to fight back!


    But the more so, the stronger the reaction of the eight idols.


    Even the expression on Tian Qing��s face also became solemn as he said with a frown, ��This brat actually still has the strength to fight back in front of the eight gods! However, he dares to provoke the eight gods, there��s only a road that leads to death!��


    That was right. Ye Yuan was provoking the eight idols!


    Wanting to figure out the secret of the god statues, ordinary methods were definitely useless.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan wanted to see just what the hell these eight idols were!


    It was just that this scene was tantamount to playing with fire and burning oneself in the view of Tian Qing and the others.


    The closer he got, the more Ye Yuan felt the terrifying pressure.


    The eight idols were clearly already furious to the extreme.


    The entire great hall��s trembling became even more intense.


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, the eight idols emitted a dazzling light at the same time, illuminating the entire great hall like daytime.


    An enormous vortex condensed and formed above the great hall.


    A powerful to the extreme suction force suddenly appeared.


    Ye Yuan��s physical body did not have many abnormalities. But his divine soul was actually going to leave his body involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan��s heart shook greatly, wanting to teleport away.


    However, this suction force was too terrifying, he could not teleport at all.


    With this, it really stabbed the hornet��s nest!


    The power of these eight idols, they were much stronger than he imagined.


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, he could not help opening his mouth wide.


    It was still his first time seeing that the idols would be so enraged.


    As for the three of them, they did not feel much.


    The divine race had long already unified spirit and body, this vortex did not target them.


    However, Yue Mengli��s expression changed wildly, her figure moved, about to go over and save Ye Yuan.


    Previously, she did not save because she knew that Ye Yuan had the ability to protect himself.


    But now, she could not continue watching anymore.


    However, a powerful suction came whistling from the rear, she was actually unable to move an inch forward anymore.


    Tian Qing did not allow her to take action!


    ��Lord Tian Qing!�� Yue Mengli turned around and glared.


    Tian Qing was unmoved and said coolly, ��Do you want to disobey the Eight Extreme Divinities?��


    Eight Extreme Divinities was the name of these eight idols.


    Yue Mengli had a conflicted look, looking towards Ye Yuan in pain.


    While over there, Ye Yuan also saw this scene earlier, and the corners of his mouth could not help revealing a hint of a smile.


    Indeed, Li-er��s heart had not changed!


    With this, it was enough!


    Although he encountered a dangerous situation, Ye Yuan did not regret it.


    He could forget his own safety and brave dangers for Mu Lingxue. So he could naturally also throw away his life for Li-er.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan��s divine soul was forcefully pulled out of his physical body like plucking a carrot.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was akin to a wild horse that ran away and was sucked into the vortex in a blink of an eye.


    After this, everything returned to tranquility.


    Ye Yuan��s physical body was standing there, motionless.


    Two rows of clear tears fell down from the corners of Yue Mengli��s eyes.


    She fell to the ground softly. It was as if all of her strength was drained.


    ��Hahaha �� dead! This damn brat is finally dead! Provoking the lord divinities? This serves him right!�� But when Celestial Master Miluo saw this scene, he let out a wild laugh.


    He was previously toyed with by Ye Yuan until he was confused and disoriented.


    Ten billion years of humiliation, but it was still humiliation to this day.


    But now, he was taken care of by the Eight Extreme Divinities, how could he not be delighted?


    Even Tian Qing also spat out a turbid breath slightly, as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s existence still gave him tremendous pressure.


    Now that Ye Yuan was dead, he could finally make a move against the human race without worrying.


    ��Miluo, destroy his physical body. It��s also considered to have drawn a conclusion to your ten billion years of humiliation,�� Tian Qing slowly said.


    ��Heh heh, alright!�� Celestial Master Miluo said with a sinister smile.


    These ten billion years of torture made him become a little neurotic.


    Now that he had this opportunity, he had a morbid pleasure.


    He walked towards Ye Yuan step by step, a hint of cruelty at the corners of his mouth.


    Ye Yuan��s head was slumped, still maintaining the same posture as before, motionless.


    Celestial Master Miluo got closer and closer and turned his palm up. A powerful force rolled in the palm of his hand.


    With this palm landing, Ye Yuan��s physical body would probably be shattered.


    ��Jeje, brat, who asked you to show off! Is Saint Azure very impressive? My divine race is the race favored by heaven! You provoked the Eight Extreme Divinities, it��s angering heaven! How can heaven tolerate you? Go and die!��


    While laughing strangely, Celestial Master Miluo��s palm fell down, smacking toward Ye Yuan��s head.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly turned his head.


    There was a grayish-white color in his eyes!


    Celestial Master Miluo originally came in a threatening manner, but currently, he jumped greatly in fright.


    He really jumped up!


    ��Goodness me, god swindled!�� Celestial Master Miluo cried out strangely and hurriedly jumped away.


    Tian Qing��s expression changed and looked at Ye Yuan in shock as he exclaimed, ��This �� What in the world is going on?��

 Chapter 2453 - Don’t Provoke Him!

    Swoosh!


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood. In the next instant, Celestial Master Miluo��s hair stood on end, a feeling of danger suddenly arising!


    Behind him, a terrifying force was currently erupting!


    The void shook, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly appeared 100 feet behind Celestial Master Miluo.


    And his hand was already holding the Limitless God Killing Bow and Sword of Spacetime!


    The arrow was on the bow!


    It was only to see his fingers loosen. An incomparably sharp cold light erupted in an instant!


    At such a close distance, forcefully resisting the Sword of Spacetime released by the Limitless God Killing Bow, the power could be imagined.


    All of these happened in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint; inconceivably fast.


    Clearly, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan had already planned everything.


    In an instant!


    Celestial Master Miluo did not have time to turn around, all the hair on his body stood on end, and the power of protection instantly released.


    This sudden scene, even Tian Qing did not react to it.


    Everything happened too suddenly.


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud noise. Celestial Master Miluo��s body was directly blasted flying.


    It was also that his strength was too strong. Otherwise, with this sword, even if it was a Deva Fifth Blight, they would have to die with regrets too!


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s calculation ability was unparalleled in the world!


    An ice-cold personality unleashed his calculation ability to the extreme.


    Swoosh!


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s figure vanished once more, escaping into the chaos world once again.


    When he appeared again, he already caught up to Celestial Master Miluo again.


    It was just that at this time, Tian Qing already reacted to it.


    His figure suddenly disappeared, arriving behind Ye Yuan in the blink of an eye.


    If Ye Yuan killed Miluo, he would kill Ye Yuan!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure disappeared again, dodging this strike.


    Tian Qing looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment, immensely shocked.


    The feeling that this gray-pupil Ye Yuan gave him was even more dangerous than earlier!


    Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm and strength, it was completely impossible to harm Celestial Master Miluo. Even if under the circumstances that he was caught off-guard.


    But Ye Yuan��s timing was grasped too brilliantly. He made use of the time when everyone was stunned and instantly controlled everything.


    Miluo was seriously injured!


    Harming someone right under Tian Qing��s eyelids, who he harmed was even Celestial Master Miluo, this kind of quasi-progenitor level expert.


    This sort of thing, probably only the gray-pupil Ye Yuan could do it.


    Tian Qing looked at the gray-pupil Ye Yuan with a frown and said in a deep voice, ��Who are you?��


    While Yue Mengli looked out-of-sorts and muttered, ��I-It��s him! He appeared again! Who �� Who on earth are you?��


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, ��That fool, always acting on impulse. In the end, he needs this eminence to come out and clean up his mess!��


    Finished saying this, he looked at Tian Qing again and said coldly, ��Don��t doubt your eyes, I��m Ye Yuan! We��re of one body and two sides. It��s just that this guy normally suppresses me. Now, his divine soul is sucked away. So this eminence can finally come out! You listen up. This eminence will cultivate in the Heaven Lineage. Don��t let people come and disturb me. Otherwise, not even chickens and dogs will be spared below late-stage Nine-marks Heavenly Dao!��


    Finished saying, gray-pupil Ye Yuan flashed and directly left the ancestral land, leaving behind the three people who were dumbfounded with shock.


    Tian Qing��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He was actually threatened by someone!


    He, this Heavenspan World��s number one person, was actually threatened by someone!


    ��Puhwark!��


    Celestial Master Miluo spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, gasping heavily for air. Clearly, he had sustained extremely severe injuries.


    He gritted his teeth and said, ��Lord Tian Qing, this guy actually dared to threaten you! He must be killed!��


    Tian Qing��s face became black as the bottom of a pot and he said in a solemn voice, ��How to kill? Didn��t you notice? This Ye Yuan��s calculation ability is extremely terrifying! His threat is even greater than that Ye Yuan before! Furthermore, this Ye Yuan doesn��t have the slightest emotion at all. If we really provoke him, he��ll really kill off the entire Heaven Lineage!��


    Celestial Master Miluo��s complexion was deathly pale, and he said gloomily, ��Could it be �� could it be that nothing can be done about him?��


    Tian Qing sighed slightly and said, ��Forget it, let him be! He didn��t leave. He should be waiting for that Ye Yuan previously to come out.��


    For some reason, Tian Qing suddenly somewhat missed that Ye Yuan a short while ago.


    That Ye Yuan would consider the feelings between Yue Mengli, and would not kill the innocent indiscriminately.


    But this Ye Yuan was completely different.


    He could feel the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s iciness. That sort of iciness made even him feel somewhat piercing to the bone!


    He did not doubt in the slightest that the gray-pupil Ye Yuan would really kill off his clansmen!


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan would only calculate and not talk about feelings!


    This type of person was the most troublesome.


    Furthermore, by relying on the calm to the extreme calculation ability, wanting to catch the gray-pupil Ye Yuan was even more impossible.


    Hesitating to take action out of fear of damages, Tian Qing could only be threatened!


    It was just that Tian Qing was a little curious. Why did the gray-pupil Ye Yuan have the confidence, thinking that the Ye Yuan before could still come out?


    One had to know, this was the Eight Extreme Divinities; the eight divinities who created the powerful divine race!


    Celestial Master Miluo opened his mouth wide, his face in disbelief.


    Why did he take this hit in vain?


    But thinking about that scene just now, he also shuddered a little without it being cold.


    It was also that Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was lacking. Otherwise, that hit earlier, he would have long already fallen!


    That strike earlier was too strong!


    Tian Qing looked towards Yue Mengli and asked, ��You��ve seen before this gray-pupil Ye Yuan? What��s going on?��


    Yue Mengli shook her head and said, ��I also don��t know what��s going on, but this gray-pupil Ye Yuan is very strong. Don��t provoke him! The gray-pupil Ye Yuan seems to have extremely terrifying judgment, and he can control everything on the battlefield! When Nineorigin brought me back to the clan back then, Ye Yuan turned into this state in the end. Then, he forcefully knocked Nineorigin down by a major cultivation realm with the realm of Empyrean!��


    When the two people heard that, they both had solemn looks on their faces.


    Indeed, not to be provoked!


    A human Empyrean leapfrogged a major cultvation realm and beat Nineorigin who was already late-stage Eight-marks at that time, into a wretched state.


    This sort of combat power was simply appalling to hear.


    Even if it was Tian Qing, it was impossible to do it too!


    �� ��


    In the Heaven Lineage, it completely exploded.


    A human punk actually occupied the place with the strongest spiritual energy, and started cultivating as if no one else was present!


    F*cking hell! Too arrogant!


    ��Punk, what nerves you have, to dare behave wildly at my Heaven Lineage?��


    ��Punk, quickly scream! Otherwise, when the lords come, you��re dead for sure!��


    ��Still not going? I think that you��re courting death!��


    Swoosh!


    A streak of cold light flashed past, then, he died.


    Everyone was dumbstruck with amazement, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    You occupied our territory and still dared to kill our divine race��s people?


    Too arrogant!


    One powerful aura after another arrived with a howl.


    The Heaven Lineage��s powerhouses rushed over one by one.


    This brat from the human race was really too arrogant, completely not taking the divine race seriously at all!


    ��Punk, this progenitor gives you one last chance. Leave immediately! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!��


    The one talking was Tian Xing, Heaven Lineage��s second-generation ancestor!


    His status in the Heaven Lineage was second only to Tian Qing. His combat power was also second only to him, virtually rivaling the seven lineage��s progenitors!


    No one felt that there was a problem with him saying this.


    But right then, a thunderous voice rolled over from the direction of the ancestral land.


    ��Tian Xing, let him cultivate on Profound Heaven Ridge. Instruct all the clansmen. Don��t provoke him!��


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock.

 Chapter 2454 - True Gold Isn’t Afraid of Fire!

    Chapter 2454: True Gold Isn��t Afraid of Fire!


    This was a brightly colored world.


    As far as the eye could see, it was full of light dots with different colors.


    Very pretty, but Ye Yuan had a creepy feeling.


    ��These are �� the power of the divine soul? No, wait! Like the power of the divine soul, but also not! These light dots seem to be something in the divine soul!�� Ye Yuan looked at the spectacular scenery before his eyes as he said in shock.


    His soul attainments were extremely powerful. Along with his strength stepping into Creation Realm, his divine soul already climbed to an extremely terrifying level.


    Even some ordinary Deva Fifth Blights might not be as strong as him too!


    Martial artists gained enlightenment on Heavenly Dao through the divine soul. Ye Yuan��s Heavenly Dao comprehensions were extremely terrifying, so his understanding of the divine soul also far surpassed others.


    Although he did not know what these light dots were, he knew that this belongs to something in the divine soul!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s expression changed and he muttered to himself, ��I somewhat understand! The members of the divine race view these idols as gods and respect them from the bottom of their hearts. It��s because this thing was taken away from their divine souls! Hiss �� these idols stored so many light dots. What do they want to do?��


    ��No, wait! The level of these idols is virtually comparable to the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain! It��s just much more sinister than the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain! The eight idols came to create such a powerful race. Just what��s the origin of these idols?��


    The more Ye Yuan thought, the more terrifying it felt.


    These idols were different from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was neutral and did not have any attributes.


    But these idols extracted countless of a certain kind of power in the divine soul and stored it in this space.


    This looked like a huge scheme no matter how he looked at it.


    Except, who was controlling all these?


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him above the void, overlooking all life in the world!


    This sort of feeling made him shiver without being cold.


    ��Judging from the behavior earlier, Li-er��s nature wasn��t wiped out! All of them, including Tian Qing, have complete seven emotions and six desires. It��s just that their submissive wills toward these idols come from the bottom of their hearts! Most likely, the problem lies here! This place looks like a vessel. If I can break the idols and let these mysterious power return to their original bodies, can it make Li-er turn back to her original appearance?�� Ye Yuan mused.


    Arriving here made Ye Yuan instantly link it to a lot of things.


    Since time immemorial, he was probably the first person who took the initiative to enter this space!


    Including Tian Qing, even he never entered before.


    Because no one could disobey the divine race��s will. Let alone could there be anyone who could defy the will of the eight idols.


    Ye Yuan��s provocation infuriated the eight idols, making them take action against him, taking the initiative to suck himself into this space.


    Clearly, these eight idols thought that after he arrived here, he would not be able to go out anymore.


    These idols did not seem to have their own will but operated on their own according to some kind of will.


    Of course, even so, these eight idols were extremely terrifying too.


    Existences on the same level as the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, it was terrifying even if it did not want to be!


    At least, Ye Yuan currently had no way of breaking the god statues.


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, this space had an insurrection.


    Beneath Ye Yuan��s feet, balls of terrifying flames leaped up.


    The flames rose very suddenly, completely surrounding Ye Yuan��s divine soul all at once.


    An extremely strong burning sensation made Ye Yuan hurt until he gave a muffled groan.


    ��Ignorant ant, to dare provoke heaven��s might! Today, the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire is sent down to refine you! Savor the taste of being burned by myriad fires well!�� In the void, came a furious voice.


    This void was akin to a clap of thunder, shocking until Ye Yuan��s eardrums hurt.


    Ye Yuan had never seen such a terrifying power before.


    This kind of power seemed to tower above all life!


    This cluster of flames had eight colors, seemingly targeting the divine soul. The whole course of it was abnormally terrifying.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul felt like it was going to evaporate.


    ��Mn!��


    Ye Yuan gave a muffled groan and fell to the ground, and started twitching painfully.


    The power of this flame was not a divine fire of the mortal world at all!


    With regards to the mortal world��s divine fires, Ye Yuan could virtually use being immune to describe.


    He was the ancestor of playing with fire!


    Even the flames condensed by Dao Ancestors, Ye Yuan did not fear in the slightest too.


    But this Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire, Ye Yuan was helpless against it!


    He could not control this flame at all!


    This flame��s agony of being scorched, Ye Yuan had already forgotten how long he had not tasted it before.


    Pain!


    Bone penetratingly painful!


    From head to toe, every inch of Ye Yuan��s skin was receiving the pain of immolation.


    Furthermore, this Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire targeted the divine soul. That sort of pain penetrated even deeper into the bones.


    Ye Yuan revolved his soul force to the max, but it was still like trying to put out a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.


    Clouds of water vapor rose up from his body.


    Those were due to his soul force being evaporated by the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire!


    This Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire was too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan��s soul force was dissipating rapidly.


    Ye Yuan��s figure gradually became illusory.


    ��Hahaha �� Saw that? This is heaven��s might! In front of heaven��s might, not submitting, there��s only death!�� That voice came out once more, appearing rather invigorated.


    Ye Yuan��s consciousness started to become blurry.


    His divine soul already almost could not hold on anymore.


    ��Am �� I going to die?��


    ��The opponent this time is too strong! He likely came from above the Heavenspan World!��


    ��If I die, what �� will happen to Li-er? Is she going to keep on being enslaved by people?��


    ��If I die, what about Lingxue? Her final wisp of spiritual consciousness is also extinguishing already!��


    ��No! I can��t die!��


    ��So what if heaven��s might! If you��re heaven, then I��ll poke through this heaven!��


    ��You want to refine me, isn��t this a tempering to me?��


    ��I am going to defy heaven!��


    ��True gold isn��t afraid of fire!��


    Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body and slowly crawled to his feet.


    He sat cross-legged in the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire and actually completely opened up his divine soul!


    He was no longer using soul force to resist the flames.


    In an instant, his divine soul was directly burned until it was significantly more transparent.


    His agony also increased exponentially!


    Ye Yuan opening up his divine soul was equivalent to drawing the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire into his body, making every inch of the divine soul receive sanctification.


    This sort of agony was ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times than before!


    The expression on Ye Yuan��s face was becoming contorted.


    But he still sat cross-legged, being motionless.


    He was controlling his divine soul, attempting to guide these Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire!


    Didn��t you want to refine me?


    Then I��ll use your Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire to temper my divine soul!


    Either succeed or die trying!


    This kind of heavenly fire that came from beyond the heavens, it normally could not be found at all.


    It was a calamity to Ye Yuan, but was it also not a massive lucky chance?


    Failing to pull through, everything naturally did not need to be discussed anymore.


    But if he pulled through, the benefits that Ye Yuan would obtain would also be unimaginable!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan let out a burst of wild laughter as he said, ��Hahaha �� Great! Didn��t you want to refine me? Not enough! Still not enough! Your Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire is too weak! Still not enough to refine me! Is this your heaven��s might? Too weak!��

 Chapter 2455 - Chaos Origin Divinity!

    ��Not enough! Still not enough! Too weak! Didn��t you claim to be heaven��s might? Are you tickling me?��


    ��Come, come, come, increase the heat! I want to see whether you can refine me or not!��


    ��Hahaha �� Great! Again!��


    �� ��


    Within that space came Ye Yuan��s loud laughter from time to time.


    This was not saying that Ye Yuan was not in pain.


    In reality, his pain was increasing manifold!


    Heaven��s might was furious, the energy of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire was also continuously increasing.


    Clearly, the eight idols were truly enraged under Ye Yuan��s triggering.


    But Ye Yuan did not care!


    Him yelling this pain out could disperse some agony of being burned instead.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul became weaker and weaker under the refinement of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire.


    At this time, it already became very faint.


    But, Ye Yuan was still incomparably stubborn.


    ��Humph! Stubborn fellow, see how long you can still last! Didn��t you want to increase the power of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire? I��ll satisfy you!�� That voice came out again.


    Ye Yuan��s voice became weaker and weaker, and increasingly undetectable.


    Until later on, his divine soul was already extremely faint, and only a faint outline could be seen.


    But that voice laughed heartily and said, ��Hahaha �� An ignorant ant also dares to have delusions of grandeur of resisting heaven��s might! Weren��t you shouting very merrily just now? Yell! Yell again!��


    But right at this time, that feeble divine soul of Ye Yuan��s gradually shrunk and contracted again.


    In the end, it turned into a cluster of faint gray fog.


    The gray fog became increasingly smaller. In the end, it became the same size as the other light dots.


    It was just that the color of this ball of gray fog was completely different from the other light dots.


    The other light dots had all kinds of colors and only did not have gray color.


    ��Heh heh, it��s actually the gray-color of chaos mind power. The quality is pretty good!�� In the void, that voice sounded out again, appearing rather excited.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    That ball of gray fog actually started devouring the surrounding light dots!


    A small ball of gray fog actually started gradually becoming larger.


    The gray fog extended four tentacles and gradually turned into the four limbs of a human body, and stretched a head out again.


    A gray-robed Ye Yuan��s outline gradually took shape.


    The gray-robed Ye Yuan was like a suction cup, absorbing the surrounding light dots crazily.


    And his body also became more and more solid.


    Rumble ��


    The entire space started trembling.


    Along with Ye Yuan��s body becoming more and more solid, the vibration of space became more and more intense.


    Until the end, there were actually signs of collapsing.


    ��Chaos origin divinity! This �� This is impossible! You �� How can you possibly condense a chaos origin divinity? Not good! If he continues condensing, the Divinity Gathering Space will collapse! Damn brat, you really got off cheap!��


    In the depths of space, came that person��s panicked voice.


    The current Ye Yuan felt indescribably refreshed.


    He felt like he was almost floating up to the heaven.


    He really pulled through the tempering of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire!


    Ye Yuan could feel that his divine soul became purer and purer under the tempering of the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire!


    Unprecedentedly pure!


    This sort of purity, he had to cultivate until God knows when before he could attain it.


    At this time, Ye Yuan felt that his divine soul was indescribably powerful!


    As if it could shatter this space!


    However, right then, he felt that his body was being involuntarily repelled by this space.


    With a swoosh, he disappeared!


    �� ��


    ��Progenitor Tian Xing, that guy is too tyrannical!��


    ��Yeah, Progenitor! This guy won��t give us any workable method at all!��


    ��The entire Heaven Lineage��s spiritual energy is absorbed by him alone, what the hell are we still cultivating for?��


    �� ��


    In front of Tian Xing, a group of Heaven Lineage powerhouses was extremely indignant.


    It had already been a year in a blink of an eye. The gray-pupil Ye Yuan already incurred the wrath of the entire Heaven Lineage.


    He did not care about others when he cultivated.


    Although the Heaven Lineage��s powerhouses already avoided him and went to other places to cultivate, the commotion of gray-robed Ye Yuan��s cultivation was seriously too big.


    Furthermore, it got bigger and bigger!


    Gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s cultivation was completely a plundering style cultivation.


    When he cultivated alone, he absorbed all of the spiritual energy in the proximity.


    In the beginning, Heaven Lineage��s powerhouses were reluctant to give in and wanted to compete with the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    But they discovered to their dismay that no matter how they absorbed the spiritual energy around, they could not win the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    Progenitor Tian Qing gave the order for everyone to stay far away from this fellow. So everyone could not take action against him.


    But plundering resources was okay, right?


    Hence, since one person could not win the gray-pupil Ye Yuan, a whole group of people then!


    The younger generation could not win the gray-pupil Ye Yuan, then the progenitors go!


    However, they discovered to their dismay that the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s plundering of spiritual energy was completely unreasonable.


    Even if the progenitors joined the great battle of wresting spiritual energy, they still could not win the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    The divine race��s requirement for spiritual energy was not considered high. They primarily used it to nourish the physical body and nurture the divine soul.


    But they could not do without spiritual energy either.


    Ye Yuan absorbed all of the spiritual energy around the proximity to this mountain in one go. What the hell were the others still cultivating for?


    Hence, everyone ran in front of Progenitor Tian Xing to complain.


    There was no way to live!


    At this time, a large group surrounded Progenitor Tian Xing, making a din until his head hurt.


    Progenitor Tian Xing��s expression was very ugly too and he said in a solemn voice, ��Alright, alright! Stop making noise! This ancestor got it. I��ll go and see Progenitor Tian Qing now and ask him what to do!��


    Before long, an unrivaled aura flew out of the ancestral land and landed on Profound Heaven Ridge.


    When the group of divine race members saw this scene, they were excited to the extreme.


    ��Hahaha, Progenitor Tian Qing finally made a move! His elderly self finally can��t stand it anymore!��


    ��This brat is dead for sure! See if he still dares to be so arrogant!��


    ��Freaking hell! Your father has never seen before such tyrannical cultivation. No matter how we try to absorb spiritual energy away from him, we couldn��t beat him!��


    �� ��


    Tian Qing landed not far from the gray-pupil Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Are you here waiting for him to come out?��


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s cultivation speed was much faster than Ye Yuan��s.


    This one year��s time, his plundering style cultivation already reached the bottleneck of the middle-stage Creation Realm.


    The chaos world within his body had already begun to take shape.


    Just a step more and he would be able to break through the bottleneck.


    It was also precisely because of this, that he had been absorbing spiritual energy even more crazily during this period of time, so as to enrich the chaos world.


    Seeing Tian Qing arrive, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan did not have the slightest emotion as he said, ��You want to say that he can��t come out anymore?��


    Tian Qing stood with his hands behind his back as he smiled faintly and said, ��Isn��t that so? He offended heaven��s might and was punished by the divinities. It��s absolutely impossible to come out anymore! You obtained the physical body. Isn��t it perfect?��


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan looked at Tian Qing like looking at a fool and said, ��Are you stupid? He��s the main soul. If he��s dead, can I still exist in this world? Are you done talking rubbish? If you��re done, get lost! Don��t delay my breakthrough!��


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s words did not show the least bit of mercy.


    Furthermore, his voice was extremely loud, the voice spreading all over the Heaven Lineage.


    Tian Qing��s expression instantly became incredibly dark.


    A piercing cold killing intent emitted from his body.


    This gray-pupil Ye Yuan was not cute at all!

 Chapter 2456 - Don’t Dare to Keep Me Around!

    ��Freaking hell! Even if the uncle can tolerate it, the aunt can��t endure it! This punk actually dared to even scold Lord Tian Qing!��


    ��He �� He��s actually making Lord Tian Qing get lost! Lord Tian Qing, kill him!��


    ��What on earth is Lord Tian Qing afraid of? In this world, apart from Dao Ancestors, who else can make Lord Tian Qing fearful?��


    �� ��


    After the death-like silence, the entire Heaven Lineage exploded.


    The Heaven Lineage��s powerhouses were all filled with righteous indignation, furious to the extreme.


    Tian Qing was the god in their hearts, the divine race��s one and only Ten-marks powerhouse!


    This guy actually dared to make him get lost!


    Tian Qing��s expression flickered indeterminately, similarly wishing to smack the gray-pupil Ye Yuan to death with one slap.


    But he knew the consequences of smacking this slap down!


    This boy was about to break through right away. If really annoyed him, he reckoned that even late-stage Nine-marks would not be able to survive.


    Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Tian Qing frowned and said, ��You aren��t going to transcend the blight tribulation! What kind of cultivation method are you cultivating?��


    After calming down, Tian Qing suddenly thought of something and could not resist asking.


    The current commotion was completely not the scene of transcending the Deva blight tribulation.


    He suddenly remembered those words that Daymeld said after he was rescued.


    At that time, he did not pay attention to it yet, but now, he discovered that something seemed to be a little off about Ye Yuan.


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan gave Tian Qing a glance coldly again and said impatiently, ��Are you stupid? If I��m transcending the Deva blight tribulation, will I do it right under your eyelids? As for what cultivation method I��m cultivating, you don��t need to care! You just have to know it��s very strong!��


    Tian Qing was speechless


    Spiritual energy surged, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan already reached the critical moment of breakthrough.


    Hence, he said coldly again, ��Still not getting lost? Do you want me to kill people while breaking through?��


    Tian Qing could not let out a single word.


    This gray-pupil Ye Yuan was really not cute at all!


    Tian Qing turned around angrily and left, making everyone��s jaws drop.


    Including Progenitor Tian Xing, his eyeballs were almost popping out.


    Lord Tian Qing was cussed out by a human junior and actually turned around and left without even letting out a fart?


    Was this still the Lord Tian Qing that they know?


    Tian Qing turned his nose up at the world and was peerlessly unparalleled, fighting through the nine heavens and ten earths. When had he been scolded like this by someone before?


    Immediately, a sense of humiliation rose up in the hearts of each divine race powerhouse.


    Seeing Tian Qing come over, Tian Xing went up to receive, and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��Lord Tian Qing, this �� Just why is this!��


    Tian Qing let out a sigh and said, ��I can��t kill him, but he can kill you all! This person is ruthless. If we provoke this person, he��ll kill off the Heaven Lineage!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Tian Xing drew a cold breath and said with a shocked face, ��In that case, the news that came from the human race is true?��


    As the Heaven Lineage��s upper echelon, Progenitor Tian Xing naturally knew about Ye Yuan��s affairs.


    At first, he felt that the likelihood of this matter being rumors snowballing was greater.


    How could someone possibly escape from under the hands of the nine great Dao Ancestors?


    Even if it was the eternal Saint Azure, it would not work too!


    Tian Qing nodded his head slightly and said, ��I��ve already confirmed it! Furthermore, his main soul was sucked away by the Eight Extreme Divinities. Right now, this God knows what the hell this existence is doesn��t have the slightest feeling. He��s more tricky than that one!��


    When the surrounding powerhouses heard this scene, each and every one of them was unbelievably shocked.


    There was actually such a monstrous person in this world!


    No one could have thought that Progenitor Tian Qing actually really made a move before already.


    More importantly, he could not do anything to Ye Yuan!


    No wonder Progenitor Tian Qing would issue such an order.


    Progenitor Tian Xin��s complexion was ashen as he said, ��This �� This guy is also too strange! His divine soul was sucked away and another divine soul actually appeared again? Also, the cultivation method that he cultivates actually doesn��t need to transcend the Deva blight tribulation! No wonder there would be that kind of rumor!��


    The rumor that he was talking about was naturally referring to Ye Yuan being able to break the shackles of Dao Ancestor.


    Judging from the current situation, it was really not impossible!


    Tian Qing��s brows also furrowed slightly, the staunchness in his heart suddenly weakening that tiny trace.


    He originally did not believe that Ye Yuan could surpass him.


    But now, the strangeness that Ye Yuan exhibited really made people feel lacking in confidence.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan started breaking through.


    The berserk spiritual energy seemed like a surging tsunami, rolling over toward the direction of the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    A storm raged fiercely!


    However, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan did not refuse any!


    No matter how much spiritual energy surged over, he accepted it all!


    With regards to the ninth level of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, Creation Realm and its spiritual energy absorption, it made one��s hair stand on end!


    Inside the chaos world, the architecture of mountains and rivers, lakes and seas, the sun, the moon, and the stars, became clearer and clearer, and increasingly brighter.


    When Tian Qing and the rest of the divine race saw this scene, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    They had once ruled the Heavenspan World and understood the human race��s cultivation method extremely well.


    It was just that, they searched through their memories and also could not find which human major power had such a heaven-shocking breakthrough effect.


    If not Deva Realm, then what on earth was it?


    Tian Qing��s brows were knitted tightly and he murmured, ��His world power is so strong! Although his world domain isn��t big, this progenitor actually has a feeling of facing the divinities!��


    Tian Qing��s comprehension of Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.


    There was likely no one who could surpass him in this world.


    Even Dao Ancestors could not as well.


    Therefore, he was extremely sensitive to the world power that Ye Yuan released.


    Ye Yuan breaking through, the power of the world spread out, making him have a feeling of facing ��heaven��!


    He never had this kind of feeling before!


    Progenitor Tian Xing��s expression changed greatly and he said, ��This �� This is impossible, right? How can someone possibly reach the height of the divinities in this world?��


    Tian Qing shook his head slightly and said, ��Perhaps, it��s my misconception. However, his cultivation method is indeed very strange. He actually doesn��t need to transcend the Deva blight tribulation! Furthermore, looking at his appearance, after breaking through this time, I��m afraid that ordinary late-stage Nine-marks won��t be his match anymore too.��


    Rumble ��


    All of a sudden, the earth quaked and mountains swayed.


    This space actually started shaking violently.


    Progenitor Tian Xing��s expression changed and he turned to look in the direction of the ancestral land.


    ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    Tian Qing��s expression became even uglier and he said absent-mindedly, ��It��s the direction of the ancestral land! C-Could it be that he really came out? This �� How is this possible?��


    He had lived for countless years and experienced countless things.


    But all of it added up was also not as shocking as what he had experienced in this past one year.


    Swoosh!


    A blurry gray figure came whizzing from the direction of the ancestral land.


    In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of everyone.


    A figure stood with his hands behind his back, standing not far from Tian Qing.


    Tian Qing��s expression became extremely solemn, looking at the gray figure in front of him with a frown.


    He actually could not quite see through this divine soul in front of him!


    It was clearly Ye Yuan��s divine soul in front of him.


    But it was completely different from before!


    As for the specifics of what the difference was, he could not put it into words as well, but it was just different.


    ��You �� You really came out! How did you do it?�� Tian Qing said in shock.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, ��That guy didn��t dare to keep me around, and he forcibly chased me out.��

 Chapter 2457 - You Liar!

    The corners of Tian Qing��s mouth twitched slightly, unhappy inwardly.


    Brag!


    Just you brag!


    You��re already boasting to the skies!


    If I believe you, this progenitor would lose!


    To be able to escape from under the hands of the Eight Extreme Divinities, Tian Qing had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan was very impressive. Ye Yuan exceeded his expectations too much.


    It was just that, not daring to keep him around?


    Huhu!


    However, what was the deal with Ye Yuan��s divine soul?


    Tian Qing discovered that Ye Yuan��s divine soul seemed very different from before.


    He did not know what was going on, but in terms of quality, this divine soul could be rated as perfect!


    Even his divine soul was also far worse compared to Ye Yuan��s.


    What on earth did this boy experience?


    ��Who��s that guy that you��re talking about?�� Tian Qing said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Don��t know. Some rambling guy, but he was really very formidable. He almost refined me to death. But very sadly, he didn��t refine me to death, and he let my divine essence metamorphosed instead. Oh, right. He called my divine soul as chaos origin divinity. Do you know what it is?��


    Tian Qing had a blank look as he shook his head and said, ��Never heard of it.��


    Ye Yuan stopped paying attention to him, but then he turned to look in the direction of the gray-pupil Ye Yuan and said in slight surprise, ��This guy has done a good job! Broke through so quickly.��


    Over there, spiritual energy roiled. Ye Yuan saw that his cultivation realm was currently rising rapidly, assaulting the middle-stage Creation Realm!


    It looked like he was about to break through.


    Tian Qing looked at Ye Yuan��s divine soul, killing intent suddenly arising in his heart.


    His understanding of Ye Yuan before was limited to the information that came from the front.


    But this time, he had crossed swords with Ye Yuan several times, and he already felt tremendous pressure.


    He had never encountered this kind of pressure since he corroborated his Dao!


    Even when he encountered Grand Ancestor Spacetime back then and was exiled to spacetime turbulence, it never appeared before too.


    This boy could not be let alive!


    Ye Yuan was currently looking at himself with all his attention, seemingly oblivious to him.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was currently in his divine soul body. So he should not be able to execute that bizarre evasion technique.


    Plus, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan said previously, as long as the main soul was killed, the gray-pupil Ye Yuan would die too!


    Then now, was undoubtedly the best opportunity to kill Ye Yuan!


    No opportunity was better than now!


    Missing this time, wanting to kill Ye Yuan again would likely be very, very difficult!


    How powerful was Tian Qing? He hid his killing intent extremely well but was already accumulating strength in secret.


    The moment he made his move, it would be earth-shattering!


    Divine soul leaving the body was a major taboo to human powerhouses.


    Although the divine soul was strong, it could not withstand the ravaging of the opponent at all.


    Once the divine soul was injured, it would be extremely troublesome.


    Ye Yuan was undoubtedly committing a huge mistake right now.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan seemed to have a feeling and suddenly turned to look at Tian Qing and said with a smile, ��You want to kill me?��


    Tian Qing was greatly astonished inwardly. He thought that he hid it extremely well. How could it possibly be discovered by Ye Yuan?


    But now that it came to this, how could Tian Qing still show mercy?


    Only to see a formidable power instantly burst forth, Tian Qing threw a punch out fiercely.


    Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.


    No one could have thought that Progenitor Tian Qing would actually make a move at this time.


    He was still talking in a jovial manner a moment ago, but in the next second, he dealt a deadly blow.


    But the eyes of the Heaven Lineage powerhouses all revealed excitement.


    Lord Tian Qing finally could not stand it and made a move!


    Currently, outside the ancestral land, without the enchantment of the eight god statues, space was fragile like paper.


    With Tian Qing throwing a punch out, space shattered into pieces like glass.


    Those spatial turbulent flows were directly squeezed and receded like the tide.


    A terrifying force directly threw the entire Heaven Lineage territory into an upheaval.


    This was the might of Ten-marks!


    At this moment, it was as if the Doomsday Battle had reappeared.


    The entire Profound Heaven Ridge was caved in by Tian Qing.


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold, his figure suddenly disappearing, avoiding this blow.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was directly blown up under this terrifying punch.


    The gray divine soul fragments scattered flying along with the spatial turbulent flow.


    It looked like he was already beyond dead.


    When the gray-pupil Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils could not help constricting. A piercing cold killing intent instantly covered the entire Heaven Lineage!


    At this time, he already just broke through to the middle-stage Creation Realm. Although he had not consolidated his cultivation realm yet, his strength already improved greatly!


    ��Hahaha �� His divine soul left the body and still dared to be arrogant in front of this progenitor! Brat, farewell forever!�� Tian Qing said with a loud laugh.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s divine soul get shattered, Tian Qing felt indescribably invigorated.


    With this, future troubles had been severed forever.


    ��Hahaha �� What did I say?! This punk actually dared to be arrogant in front of Lord Tian Qing, really seeking death!��


    ��Divine soul shattering, this guy is deader than dead! With this, who else is my divine race��s match?��


    ��F*cking hell! Your father was really aggrieved to the extreme in this one year. With this, it finally feels refreshing!��


    �� ��


    When the Heaven Lineage powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely excited.


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan turned the Heaven Lineage upside down in this one year. They had no way of cultivating normally at all.


    With this, they finally found the delight of having taken revenge.


    Suddenly, Tian Qing felt that something was not quite right.


    A piercing cold killing intent engulfed Profound Heaven Ridge!


    ��Mn? The main soul has already completely dissipated, why isn��t this guy dead yet? Could it be that he can still linger on with a last breath of life for a period of time? Not good!��


    His voice had yet to fade when the gray-pupil Ye Yuan already suddenly disappeared from his original spot.


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    In a blink, more than ten Heaven Lineage powerhouses already died under the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s sword.


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan did not have the slightest emotion when he acted.


    He was terrifyingly calm, his calculation ability powerful to the extreme.


    The moment he made his move, it was completely too late for Tian Qing to save.


    ��I warned you, but you didn��t seem to have listened to my words at all! Since that��s the case, bear the consequences then!�� The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s callous to the extreme voice came over as he murdered the people one by one.


    One life after another withered away under his hands.


    The current gray-pupil Ye Yuan already broke through to the middle-stage Creation Realm!


    His strength was sufficient to eradicate late-stage Nine-marks powerhouses!


    Apart from Tian Qing and a few others, who else was his match?


    Tian Qing��s expression changed wildly and suddenly pounced over towards the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    But how could he capture the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s figure?


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan did not only have a bizarre movement technique. His calculation ability was also extremely powerful, not giving Tian Qing the slightest chance to get close at all.


    In just a blink of an eye, there were already hundreds of Eight-marks and Nine-marks powerhouses who died under Ye Yuan��s sword!


    ��Damn it! You liar! Didn��t you say that if the main soul dies, you��ll die too? Why are you completely fine?�� Tian Qing said with a roar.


    But the gray-pupil Ye Yuan completely ignored him.


    Once the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s killing spree started, the entire Heaven Lineage fell into chaos.


    Everyone scattered and fled, wanting to avoid Ye Yuan.


    Tian Qing��s expression changed greatly. A clever idea hit him in an emergency and he roared wildly, ��Don��t run! Everyone, come to me!��


    After the divine race powerhouses heard that, only then did they feel like they woke up from a dream, drawing close to his side one after another.


    But how could their speed be as fast as the gray-pupil Ye Yuan?


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan was still reaping the lives of the Heaven Lineage powerhouses without restraint.


    Tian Qing��s heart was dripping blood, but he could not move.


    Once he moved, the divine race powerhouses that finally managed to gather around him would become the target of being slaughtered again!

 Chapter 2458 - : Bring You Home!

    Powerhouses that filled the sky fell one after another.


    Places that the gray-pupil Ye Yuan passed by, not a blade of grass remained!


    Everyone was desperately closing in towards Tian Qing, only hating their parents for not giving them another pair of legs.


    At this moment, the power of the gray-pupil Ye Yuan was displayed fully!


    Only then did the Heaven Lineage powerhouses know why Lord Tian Qing did not let them provoke the gray-pupil Ye Yuan.


    This consequence was too terrifying!


    But just as everyone was frightened by the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s lethal power, at that shattered void where Ye Yuan��s divine soul was originally standing in, clusters of gray-colored particles gathered from all directions and quietly condensed and took shape.


    The gray Ye Yuan divine soul condensed once again!


    Tian Qing felt something and looking over to this side and his expression could not help changing wildly.


    ��This �� How is this possible? This progenitor��s strike earlier, even if a Dao Ancestor withstands it forcibly, it��s certain death too! He �� He��s actually fine?�� Tian Qing said with a look of shock.


    He had clearly already wiped out Ye Yuan��s divine soul just now.


    But now, that divine soul recovered again!


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s eyes also became slightly intent, stopping the killing.


    He did not know what Ye Yuan��s divine soul experienced. When he saw Ye Yuan being killed earlier, he instinctively wanted to kill.


    But now, even he was also incomparably surprised.


    Under that horrifying attack, Ye Yuan could actually still recover!


    Furthermore, it looked like Ye Yuan��s divine soul was not damaged at all!


    This sort of thing was a little too magical.


    Each of the divine race powerhouse present there was inexplicably shocked.


    Who could have thought that a wisp of a divine soul could actually remain perfectly unscathed under Progenitor Tian Qing��s attack?


    This kind of thing was a fantasy tale in itself!


    Ye Yuan looked at Tian Qing and said with a smile, ��Looks like this chaos origin divinity is still a little useful. Uh, that just now at least proved that there��s already no one in the Heavenspan World who can truly kill me, is it this logic?��


    Tian Qing opened his mouth, wanting to refute.


    But he suddenly discovered that what Ye Yuan said made a lot of sense


    Even he could not kill Ye Yuan. So who else could kill him?


    This was genuine undying and imperishable!


    Although he, Tian Qing, was known as the number one person, undying and imperishable, he was still rather apprehensive of the human race��s nine great Dao Ancestors.


    If they really fight to the death, there might be the risk of dying too.


    But Ye Yuan was truly undying and imperishable!


    Now, even if Ye Yuan stood there and let him kill, he could destroy Ye Yuan��s physical body, but could not destroy Ye Yuan��s divine soul!


    His divine soul was undying and imperishable!


    This was terrifying!


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was even stronger than his physical body!


    ��You �� What on earth did you experience in the ancestral land?�� Tian Qing said in shock.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Even if I said it, you won��t believe it too! But you rest assured, one day, I��ll come and rescue your divine race!��


    Tian Qing��s expression turned dark and he said, ��Ridiculous! My divine race stands above the myriad races, why do we need someone to come and save?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said with a sigh, ��Speaking of which, you all are also a bunch of pitiful people. Tian Qing, can��t you all live in peace with the other races? The Heavenspan World is so big, it��s also not that there isn��t a place to accommodate you all, why do you have to fight until either you die or I perish?��


    Ye Yuan knew that even if he recounted the matter in that space, Tian Qing they all would not believe it too.


    Because of Li-er��s matter, Ye Yuan hated the divine race immensely.


    But now, he could not hate anymore.


    The divine race was also a group of pitiful people. They were merely being exploited by someone.


    As for where these Eight Extreme Divinities came from, it seemed like some research was still needed.


    But Ye Yuan was certain that these Eight Extreme Divinities were surely existences above Dao Ancestor!


    Fortunately, the Eight Extreme Divinities here seem to be already refined and did not have much individualistic consciousness.


    Sure enough, Tian Qing gave a cold snort and said, ��My divine race will never be able to coexist with the myriad races! We must dominate the Heavenspan World! We have to take back what belongs to us!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said smilingly, ��Perhaps in the near future, you��ll change your mind.��


    After he finished talking, he looked towards the gray-pupil Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Are you going back yourself or making me invite you back?��


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s eyes were still icy-cold. But very soon, his consciousness receded like the tide.


    The grayish-white pupils gradually regained their clarity.


    The gray-pupil Ye Yuan had long seen through that the present Ye Yuan��s divine soul was too strong. He was not a match at all.


    With the gray-pupil Ye Yuan��s calmness, he naturally knew how to make his choice.


    The gray-colored Ye Yuan��s figure moved, returning into his physical body.


    Ye Yuan returned again!


    With his divine soul returning to his body, Ye Yuan felt completely different.


    At this time, he had a feeling of overlooking the world.


    It was not that his strength was powerful to the extent of overlooking the world. It was that his divine soul communicated with heaven and earth. The perspective of looking at the world became completely different.


    If he was looking up to Heavenly Dao in the past, then now, he could compete with Heavenly Dao!


    His divine soul was seemingly able to reach above the ninth heaven, overlooking the world!


    All kinds of laws, all sorts of rules, seemed to have become very simple when trying to comprehend them with Ye Yuan��s current chaos origin divinity.


    Originally, he needed to interpret and analyze things bit by bit.


    But now, he was standing from the perspective of Heavenly Dao to look at them and comprehend things. Everything seemed to be so simple.


    ��This is the chaos origin divinity? Seems pretty good!��


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul had an indescribably sense of invigoration.


    A person��s greatest pleasure was not the pleasure of the physical body, but the pleasure of the soul.


    Currently, Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity returning to his body, his soul reached this realm!


    This sort of feeling was what he had never experienced before.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved, arriving in front of Yue Mengli.


    Facing Yue Mengli again, Ye Yuan��s mental state was already completely different.


    His fingers ran through Li-er��s hair, scaring her until she was abruptly about to avoid.


    But Ye Yuan grabbed her and kissed her.


    All of the divine race members were dumbfounded.


    This �� Was showing affection in front of so many people really good?


    However, it was so sweet!


    When the divine race girls saw this scene, many of them revealed besotted looks.


    Which girl did not want their man to be peerlessly domineering and overlook the world?


    Yue Mengli��s man was someone that even Lord Tian Qing could not do anything to.


    Wasn��t it normal to be a little more domineering?


    Li-er struggled fiercely, wanting to break free from Ye Yuan��s embrace.


    But at this time, it was as if she lost all strength.


    After a long time, their lips parted.


    Ye Yuan had a light smile as he looked at Li-er and said, ��Wait for me. It won��t be long before I��ll come and bring you home!��


    Li-er blushed, but said, ��This place IS my home! Even if it��s going home, it��s also us fighting back to the Heavenspan World! Ye Yuan, our race is different. In the future �� In the future, best that we don��t meet again!��


    At this point, her tears burst forth uncontrollably.


    But Ye Yuan did not care, lightly caressing her hair as he said smilingly, ��Silly girl, you��re my, Ye Yuan��s woman, and forever will be my Ye Yuan��s woman! Don��t care what race you are, and also don��t care who you are. You are my Ye Yuan��s woman! No one can change this! After I return, I��ll break those eight idols. Then I��ll bring you home!��

 Chapter 2459 - Shameless!

    Ye Yuan left freely and leisurely, unimpeded along the way.


    He wreaked havoc in the Abyss World, turning the entire divine race upside down. Even Tian Qing was powerless to do anything, who else dared to be blind and block his path?


    Leaving the Abyss World, Ye Yuan was currently planning on leaving for the Heavenspan Mountain.


    At present, his realm had soared and his strength already did not lose to Deva Fifth Blights!


    Coupled with his newly acquired and mysterious chaos origin divinity, Ye Yuan wanted to go to the Heavenspan Mountain to test his luck and see if he could find the Tear of Life or other ways to save Mu Lingxue.


    But right then, a figure sprang out from the flank.


    Ye Yuan focused his eyes and looked, but it was Pang Zhen.


    Pang Zhen had an anxious look on his face. When he saw Ye Yuan, he rushed over at the fastest speed.


    Seeing Pang Zhen��s appearance, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    ��Why did you come?��


    When Pang Zhen saw Ye Yuan, he had a look of panic as he said, ��Ye Yuan, things are bad!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and asked, ��What happened?��


    Pang Zhen recounted the events that happened in this period of time, making Ye Yuan bristle with anger.


    It turned out that not long after he left, Sacred Ancestor High Priest exited seclusion from the Primeval War Realm.


    Moreover, he broke through to the realm of Dao pill in one stroke!


    The so-called realm of Dao pill was reaching the level of rule in Alchemy Dao!


    This way, apart from the nine great Dao Ancestors, the myriad races alliance finally had another who reached the realm of rules!


    The entire Heavenspan World was greatly shocked for some time.


    Another rule powerhouse appearing at this juncture clearly gave a cardiac stimulant to the myriad races.


    After Wing exited seclusion, the first thing that came to mind was naturally to find Ye Yuan.


    But after he heard about Ye Yuan��s encounter, he was greatly enraged.


    It just so happened that at this time, Dao Ancestor Life, Lin Chaotian, personally went to find Sacred Ancestor High Priest, to request him to take action and refine Dao pills for Ancestor Water, Ancestor Fire, and Ancestor Wind, three great Dao Ancestors.


    These two Dao Ancestors suffered considerable injuries when they fought with Tian Qing last time.


    But this level of fighting, injuries were extremely difficult to recover from.


    Therefore, Sacred Ancestor High Priest exiting seclusion at this time was clearly at the right time.


    But Sacred Ancestor High Priest refused without the slightest hesitation.


    Because of Ye Yuan!


    What a joke! He could reach the realm of rule and achieve a true Dao pill entirely because of Ye Yuan.


    Now, how could he possibly refine pills for Ye Yuan��s enemies?


    Even if it was Dao Ancestors, it would not work too!


    However, Lin Chaotian did not get angry. He put aside his ego instead, using a righteous cause to convince Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Lin Chaotian said that Heavenly Dao Samsara would begin in the next few years. At this time, they should put the interests of the whole above all else.


    If the human race��s Dao Ancestors were to lose three people, then the myriad races would absolutely not be the divine race��s match.


    At this time, they should put aside their personal grudges and grievances, and put the interests of the whole above all else.


    Furthermore, Lin Chaotian even said, Ye Yuan��s matter was indeed him not considering things properly.


    After Ye Yuan returned, he would take the initiative to apologize to Ye Yuan.


    The exalted Dao Ancestor Life put aside his ego to say such words, Sacred Ancestor High Priest was still convinced in the end.


    Hence, he refined Dao pills for the three great Dao Ancestors, and this thoroughly healed the injuries on their bodies.


    But no one could have thought that after the three great Dao Ancestors recovered from their injuries, Lin Chaotian suddenly turned hostile and brought the eight great Dao Ancestors and directly rounded Profound Secrets Bodhimanda up in one fell swoop!


    Even Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets also became a prisoner now!


    And the banner that they played was that Ye Yuan had entered the Abyss World. He definitely defected to the divine race.


    This way, it was equivalent to confirming Ye Yuan��s name as a traitor.


    All the people close to Ye Yuan were all locked up.


    White Light, Lu-er, Ye Tong, as well as many of Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma��s related people, were all captured.


    Even the unpredictable army��s upper echelons were also all detained apart from Pang Zhen.


    Pang Zhen had an indignant look as he said, ��This Dao Ancestor Life has simply lost all balance of judgment! They actually severed their own arm at this juncture for their goal! If not because of my family��s ancestor, I��d have long been sent to prison too! Your Excellency, Dao Ancestor Life has already spread the news throughout the Heavenspan World, and even sent it into the Abyss World through certain channels! They��re making you go to Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma within a year with the name of the nine great Dao Ancestors, to make an apology and ask for punishment! Otherwise, every half a year, they will kill off one person related to you! At present, there are only three days left away from the half-year date!��


    After he finished listening to all these, Ye Yuan still appeared very calm.


    However, Pang Zhen had followed him for a few years already. He knew that Ye Yuan at this time was actually the most terrifying!


    ��Heh, looks like Lin Chaotian doesn��t even want face anymore, in order to obtain the secret on me! Huhu, you want the secret on me, is it? So what even if I give it to you?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Pang Zhen was rather worried as he said, ��Your Excellency, you can��t go! They couldn��t capture you. So they used this sort of method to force you to walk right into a trap! Once you go, you definitely won��t be able to come back!��


    Ye Yuan gave Pang Zhen a glance and said, ��Who��s the first one that they��re going to execute?��


    Pang Zhen��s expression changed, and he said, ��I-It��s Wan Zhen!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Then do you think that I��m the kind of person to abandon my companions? Relax, they can��t do anything to me! Let��s go!��


    If it was before this, Ye Yuan would really be helpless.


    But he cultivated the chaos origin divinity now. Even Tian Qing could not do anything to him. So what was he scared of?


    Even if I let you kill, could you kill me?


    �� ��


    Today, in front of Origin Enlighten��s mountain pass gates, countless powerhouses gathered.


    They were all here to watch the killing!


    Ye Yuan��s proud subordinate, the unpredictable army��s chief figure, Wan Zhen, would be sentenced to death today!


    It caused a great sensation in the world!


    Of course, what they were more concerned with was whether or not Ye Yuan would come!


    Ye Yuan entering the Abyss World was already not some secret.


    With regards to his move, people at the outside world were all speculating.


    It was just that, they all knew that with Ye Yuan��s personality, it was impossible for him to explain anything.


    It was also because of Ye Yuan��s pride that made this matter become even more confusing to the eye.


    ��Do you all think that Ye Yuan would really have defected to the divine race or not?��


    ��Very likely! I heard that the divine race��s eight great progenitors have invincible might. Back then, they killed our 18 rule powerhouses! Looking at it now, the chances of winning are seriously not high! Moreover, Ye Yuan��s most beloved person has now become the divine race��s divine daughter. There isn��t without this possibility!��


    ��You��re bullshitting! The divine race members that Lord Saint Azure killed can probably pile up into several Origin Enlighten Mountains! He created an eternal legend, his contributions unparalleled, would he defect to the divine race?��


    ��Humph! Keep talking rubbish and I will smack you to death with a palm! The Dao Ancestors�� manner of eating is also too unsightly! They went back on their word and actually made a move against the people around Saint Azure! What Saint Azure said is definitely the truth!��


    ��T-Talk nicely, don��t attack!��


    �� ��


    In the crowd, there were a lot of discussions.


    The public��s opinions on this matter varied because of Ye Yuan��s failure to explain in the first place.


    After all, no one had evidence to prove this.


    But Dao Ancestor Life not keeping his word, this matter was already spread by Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Therefore, the nine great Dao Ancestors�� reputation currently was very bad,


    Of course, to them, this level of powerhouses, all were ants beneath Dao Ancestors. They would not care about these people��s discussions at all.

 Chapter 2460 - Mettle!Mettle!

    ��Stop looking! He won��t come, and he also won��t dare to come! Huhu, who do you think you are? You��re merely a dog under him. He made use of you all to fight battles across the land, performing meritorious exploits, bolstering his name of Saint Azure. Do you feel that he��ll risk his life for a dog?��


    Lin Huan looked at the Wan Zhen who was tied onto the wooden stake and said with a disdainful smile.


    Today was the day of the execution. The first target was Wan Zhen!


    Wan Zhen had his divine sea sealed and was fixed onto the wooden stake with Origin Enlighten Mountain��s unique method, being unable to move at all.


    He looked toward the horizon from time to time, not that he was longing for that figure to appear.


    On the contrary, he was worried about that person showing up!


    Regardless of the friendly relation between them, that person was humanity��s last hope.


    If he folded at his own people��s hands, the human race would really have no hope.


    Wan Zhen was different from the rest. His plans were very big, harboring the world in his heart.


    It was also precisely because of this, that his relationship with Ye Yuan was the best.


    Hearing Lin Huan��s ridiculing, he sneered and said, ��When we were fighting at the front-lies, where were you all, these lords? Really want to talk about exploiting, it��s also you all, these despicable and shameless people, who are making use of the myriad races�� powerhouses, right? Does the name of Saint Azure need to be proven with this kind of battle? Huhu, if I were a dog, then you��re even less than a dog and pig!��


    Lin Huan��s face turned grim and he said in a cold voice, ��What a joke! If not for our family��s ancestor and the eight great Dao Ancestors garrisoning, the Heavenspan World would have long fallen! You also dare to show off in front of this emperor with that bit of meritorious deed?��


    Wan Zhen laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� it��s really making me die of laughter! Your family��s ancestor garrisoning? They were planning how to get the secret on Ye Yuan, right?! If they��re really doing it for the human race, they would have long gone to the Abyss World! If they are not going now, could it be that they are waiting until after Heavenly Dao Samsara before going?��


    Pah!


    A resounding slap landed on Wan Zhen��s face, directly slapping until he spat a mouthful of blood.


    How heaven was the slap of a Deva Fifth Blight?


    Lin Huan snorted coldly and said, ��Razor-tongued! At present, Ye Yuan��s traitorous name has already been established. I want to see how he is going to face the heroes of the world!��


    ��Ptooey!��


    Wan Zhen spat a mouthful of blood and said disdainfully, ��Just the likes of you also dare to call yourself a hero? Where��s your face?��


    By the side, Lin Lang said disdainfully, ��Third Grandpa, stop talking rubbish with him! The hour has arrived, do it!��


    Lin Huan nodded his head and said in a loud voice, ��The hour has come. It looks like Ye Yuan has long already broken his faith, and he defected to the divine race! It��s impossible for him to come anymore! Of course, Wan Zhen was in collusion with Ye Yuan and let Daymeld go together! The most heinous of crimes! Now, this emperor will execute justice on behalf of heaven, and deal out capital punishment to him!��


    Lin Lang stepped forward, holding a jade plate in his hand.


    Rows of exquisite short knives were placed on the jade plate.


    This short knife was called Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife, an extremely cruel punishment tool.


    With this short knife penetrating into the body of a martial artist, it would slowly cut off the martial artist��s life vitality. However, they would not die right away.


    That sort of feeling was even more painful than being sliced to a thousand pieces!


    Lin Huan picked up a small blade and waved it in front of Wan Zhen and said smugly, ��Punk, you��ve presumably heard of the Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife before too, right? Today, I��ll let you have a taste of this! This is the outcome of betraying the human race!��


    ��Ptooey!��


    Wan Zhen spat, but sadly, it did not hit Lin Huan.


    It was just that his face did not have any trace of fear. What could be seen there was only anger.


    He was angry for failing to live up to expectations!


    He mourned his misfortune!


    The nine Dao Ancestors being humanity��s strongest people were actually people who turned their back on the world for their own selfish interests!


    Seeing that Wan Zhen was not afraid, Lin Huan could not help feeling a little dull.


    But he did not care, he had not seen anyone who could survive under the Devastation Bone Gnawing Knives!


    Puchi!


    Lin Huan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly plunging a knife into Wan Zhen��s heart position.


    ��Ugh!��


    A feeling of being penetrated into the deepest part of the heart instantly spread throughout his four limbs and bones.


    Wan Zhen could not help but let out a muffled groan, cold sweat instantly drenching his whole body.


    But he endured forcefully and did not cry out.


    Lin Huan��s brows furrowed slightly, very unhappy with Wan Zhen��s behavior.


    At this time, he should be hurting until he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy!


    ��Huhu, can really endure huh! This emperor wants to see how long you can hold out for!��


    Lin Huan laughed coldly and plunged another knife in.


    ��Ugh!��


    Wan Zhen let out another muffled groan, but he still stubbornly did not make any sound.


    ��H-Huhu, are you very disappointed? Do you think that I won��t be able to stand it and open my mouth to beg you for mercy? You��re thinking too much! There are no cowards among Lord Saint Azure��s subordinates! Just you �� bring it on. If I were to make a sound, I, Wan Zhen, am not worthy to be Lord Saint Azure��s subordinate!��


    Wan Zhen gasped the cold air as he said.


    Lin Huan��s expression became very ugly.


    And Wan Zhen��s stubbornness also made many powerhouses extremely moved.


    ��Such mettle, even if you beat me to death, I also won��t believe that Lord Saint Azure will betray the human race!��


    ��Yeah! As the saying goes, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! Facing the punishment of the Devastation Bone Gnawing Knives, he didn��t even bat an eyelid. This is absolutely not what a traitor can do!��


    ��It��s too much! Really too much! I feel that Dao Ancestor Life is simply throwing dirty water!��


    �� ��


    Everyone knew the terror of the Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife. Using terms like bone-festering and overwhelming the soul to describe were also not over the top.


    But facing such a terrifying punishment, Wan Zhen actually kept a straight face. How strong of a willpower did this require?


    Even the subordinates had such a strong will, how could Saint Azure himself possibly betray humanity?


    A lot of discussions transmitted into Lin Huan��s ears, making him even more enraged.


    Puchi!


    Another knife!


    However, Wan Zhen still only gave a muffled groan.


    His complexion was already as pale as paper. He was clearly in agony to the extreme.


    But he still did not flinch at all!


    Just like that, one blade after another, Wan Zhen did not make a sound from start to end.


    Several times, he fainted from the pain and woke up again from the pain.


    But even so, he did not cry out.


    He used his own actions to defend what he said!


    Lin Huan��s expression became more and more ugly.


    He did not expect that this Wan Zhen to actually be so stubborn.


    ��Humph! Since that��s the case, go to hell then!�� Lin Huan took another knife and was about to stab into Wan Zhen��s body.


    ��Stop!�� Right at this time, an angry roar came over.


    A peerlessly powerful aura approached from afar.


    This was the aura of a rule powerhouse!


    At virtually the same time, a powerful aura similarly swept up from the direction of Origin Enlighten Mountain.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at Ancestor Fire with a wrathful face as he yelled angrily, ��You all are too much! Immediately stop the execution! Otherwise, this ancestor will definitely go on a killing spree today!��


    Ancestor Fire just said coolly, ��Fellow Daoist Wing, this boy��s traitorous name has already been confirmed. Executing him in front of the world now, you don��t have a reason to intervene!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest said furiously, ��Screw you! Who confirmed it? What evidence do you have?��


    Ancestor Fire did not get angry either and said coolly, ��He and Ye Yuan let Daymeld leave! This is an iron-like fact!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest nearly fainted from anger and said angrily, ��Weng Xian, I was really blind, to have actually refined pills for you, this ingrate!��

 Chapter 2461 - You Shouldn’t Have Come!

    ��Fellow Daoist Wing, you��re currently a member of our generation too. Your horizons should be placed further. You refining pills for the few of us, it��s for the human race��s overall situation. We��re eliminating traitors similarly for humanity��s good. I know that your relationship with Ye Yuan is good, but his talent is too strong. His betrayal poses too great a threat to us. That��s why we have no choice but to resort to such means!��


    Ancestor Fire Weng Xian��s expression did not change and his heart did not race, but he continued to persuade Sacred Ancestor High Priest with earnest words and the best intentions.


    That appearance was like he was standing on the moral high ground.


    ��Further my ass! Weng Xian, this farther of yours won��t believe your nonsense anymore! Ye Yuan will betray the human race? Heh heh, even if the few of you old things die out and there��s only him left in this Heavenspan World, he won��t betray the human race too! Very good! This ancestor hasn��t fought with a same rank powerhouse after attaining Dao. Today, this ancestor will measure how strong a Dao Ancestor is!��


    Wing gave a cold laugh, the imposing aura on his body suddenly erupting. The power of rules bloomed in an instant.


    Boom!


    With one punch, heaven and earth shook.


    Two great rule powerhouses faced off in an instant just like that!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest attacked in anger, his power boundless.


    Except, his foundation was ultimately not as deep as Ancestor Fire��s.


    Around Ancestor Fire, terrifying flames virtually burned a large hole in the void.


    Each move carried extremely terrifying energy undulations.


    In a twinkle, he suppressed Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Seeing this scene, the corners of Lin Huan��s mouth could not help revealing a hint of a smile, and he looked at Wan Zhen and said, ��Did you think that you were saved? It��s useless! No one in this world can save someone from Origin Enlighten Mountain!��


    As he said, he picked up a Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife and suddenly stabbed toward Wan Zhen.


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    A streak of cold light suddenly appeared from the void.


    Carrying a swift and fierce to the extreme sharp edge, it shot toward Lin Huan.


    Pffft!


    Lin Huan did not even have time to react and was directly pierced through by this streak of cold light.


    A tremendous force directly carried Lin Huan flying out, nailing him onto a rock.


    Lin Huan opened both eyes wide, his gaze full of disbelief.


    Gurgles of blood were flowing out of his mouth, his entire body twitching.


    Everyone was stunned by this streak of cold light.


    Too fast!


    Fast until no one reacted to it!


    Even Lin Huan, this Deva Fifth Blight supreme powerhouse, got hit without any reaction.


    Furthermore, this sword shuttled through the void, the speed swift to the extreme.


    By the time Lin Huan reacted, the sword already arrived in front of his chest.


    At this time, no matter how fast his speed was, it was also impossible to avoid it anymore.


    A sharp-eyed person recognized the origin of this sword and immediately cried out in surprise, ��S-Sword of Spacetime! It��s Ye Yuan��s Sword of Spacetime! Saint Azure Ye Yuan came!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a figure stepped out of the void, arriving beside Wan Zhen.


    Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    With Ye Yuan appearing, everyone exclaimed in surprise.


    ��He �� He really came!��


    ��He actually really dared to come!��


    ��Hang on! How did he become so strong?��


    ��Yeah! Back then, his full power sword barely managed to harm Lin Huan. This time, he actually pierced through him with one sword!��


    �� ��


    The powerhouses all over the mountain were extremely shocked.


    They were first shocked by Ye Yuan��s courage. But very soon, they discovered that something was not right.


    Ye Yuan had once used the same move against Lin Huan before.


    At that time, he only barely managed to hurt Lin Huan.


    But just how long had passed? Ye Yuan actually nailed the Deva Fifth Blight Lin Huan onto the rock with one sword!


    Looking at Lin Huan��s appearance, he had clearly already sustained serious injuries and did not even have the strength to fight anymore.


    This improvement was also a little too terrifying, right?


    The thing that Wan Zhen was most worried about still happened.


    Unless Ye Yuan did not know about this, if he knew, he would definitely come!


    ��Pang Zhen! You �� Why did you have to tell His Excellency!�� Wan Zhen looked at the Pang Zhen behind Ye Yuan as he said furiously.


    Pang Zhen had an awkward look, but Ye Yuan said coolly, ��A brother encounters adversity; how can I stand by and watch him die?��


    Wan Zhen let out a sigh and said weakly, ��Your Excellency, you �� you shouldn��t have come!��


    Ye Yuan did not speak, suddenly hitting a palm on Wan Zhen��s body.


    A torrential-like divine essence poured into Wan Zhen��s body crazily.


    Those Devastation Bone Gnawing Knives were shaken by these divine essence and were actually pulled out at the same time, being suspended in the air.


    Ye Yuan pointed with his fingertip. The Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife plunged into Lin Huan��s heart-area with a swoosh.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    Lin Huan cried out miserably, struggling incessantly in pain.


    It was just that his body was nailed onto the rock. He could not break free at all.


    The more he struggled, the more painful it was.


    It was as if Ye Yuan did nothing at all, looking at Wan Zhen and said smilingly, ��You know that there��s no way I won��t come. Furthermore, even if Pang Zhen didn��t say it, I��ll know very soon too. They laid down such a huge scheme, wasn��t it to let me know?��


    While talking, his fingertip pointed again.


    Another knife tore through the air and plunged into Lin Huan��s body.


    ��Ahhh! I-It��s killing me! I �� I��m going to die! Y-Ye Yuan, I-I beg you, let me go!��


    Lin Huan did not have Wan Zhen��s mettle. With two knives entering the body, he was almost collapsing.


    That sort of pain that entered the marrows made him prefer to commit suicide.


    He could not care that much anymore, he wanted to ask Ye Yuan for mercy.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and instead, pointed with his fingertip again.


    Another knife!


    Lin Huan felt as if there were ten thousand ants devouring his body.


    That sort of pain simply made people unable to pray for life, nor beg for death.


    He knew that the Devastation Bone Gnawing Knife was very painful, but he never expected that it was actually agonizing to such a degree.


    When the powerhouses all over the mountain saw this scene, each and every one of them drew a cold breath.


    They witnessed Ye Yuan��s cold-blooded side.


    The current Ye Yuan gave them a feeling of shivering without it being cold.


    Facing those who hurt his friends, he would return it double.


    Furthermore, as an alchemy path overlord, his knives were much more precise than Lin Huan��s.


    He knew where to hit to make it more painful!


    Ye Yuan helped Wan Zhen down and handed him to Pang Zhen. Then he gave in a medicinal pill in passing and said, ��Give this to him, you take care of him.��


    As he said, he turned to look at the Sacred Ancestor High Priest who was battling in the sky and yelled, ��Stop fighting. Come down and save people.��


    When Sacred Ancestor High Priest heard that, he hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield and came howling down.


    Ancestor Fire did not pursue either. Their goal was Ye Yuan. Sacred Ancestor High Priest was not important.


    Ye Yuan came. So he did not have a need to fight to the death with Wing.


    When Sacred Ancestor High Priest came down to see Ye Yuan, his expression was very ugly and he said in a deep voice, ��You punk, why did you come? Don��t you know that this is a scheme targeting you?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I know, but you know that I can��t possibly watch them die for me!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest frowned and said, ��But do you think that by coming, they will let them go? They will still use these people to threaten you!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, ��They won��t!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was taken aback, not knowing where Ye Yuan��s confidence came from.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    There was another scream, Ye Yuan sent out another knife while talking.

 Chapter 2462 - Dao Ancestor Eating Dust!

    Seeing Lin Huan��s miserable state, the corners of Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s mouth twitched slightly.


    These were only four knives, and Lin Huan was already hurting until his expression was contorted. There was no way of comparing him to Wan Zhen at all.


    One had to know, Wan Zhen was stabbed with dozens of knives earlier, but he did not make a sound.


    ��Won��t? Huhu, you��re also underestimating these guys�� shamelessness too much!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a cold snort.


    Previously, he respected Dao Ancestor powerhouses from the bottom of his heart too.


    The strong were always worthy of respect.


    However, ever since he was tricked into refining pills, his perception of the nine great Dao Ancestors already dropped to freezing point.


    ��Ahhh! I �� I��m going to die! Ye Yuan, I beg you, kill me! I �� I can��t take it anymore!�� Lin Huan having been struck by a knife again, cried out miserably.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued, ��They won��t. Lin Chaotian will know the consequences of provoking me!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, ��I know that they can��t catch you, but you��re currently hesitating to take action out of fear of damages. What can you do to them?��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan did not even turn his head back and dealt another knife, then said smilingly, ��I��m indeed hesitant to take action out of fear of damages, but they will be cautious in taking action. No need to use this sort of eyes to look at me. You just watch by the side. Today, I��ll invite you to watch a good show! Oh, right! Treat Wan Zhen. He only has a breath left. The medicinal pills that I brought with me aren��t strong enough. So you do it.��


    Swoosh!


    Another knife!


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan torture Lin Huan until he was transported away and wished to die while talking in a jovial manner, they could not help drawing cold breaths.


    That sort of piercing cold killing intent, they felt it.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of Lin Huan and said with a gleeful smile, ��You already want to seek death? It��s just seven knives, what you gave Wan Zhen, I won��t return to you twice as much either, you just have to take it all according to the bill.��


    Pffft!


    As he said, it was another knife stabbing Lin Huan.


    Lin Huan hurt until he gasped cold air heavily and already could not speak.


    He had never experienced this sort of taste before.


    With his status, who dared to let him experience it?


    While talking, there was a ripple in the void. A powerful aura appeared in everyone��s line of sight.


    It was precisely Dao Ancestor Life, Lin Chaotian!


    When he saw Lin Huan��s miserable state, he frowned and said, ��Ye Yuan, enough!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and could not help laughing as he said, ��Enough? Lin Chaotian, who do you think you��re talking to?��


    Lin Chaotian smiled coldly and said, ��Why? Do you still think that you��re that Saint Azure? You betrayed the human race. So we nine great Dao Ancestors have already jointly agreed to take back your title of Saint Azure! Why can��t this ancestor speak to you like this?��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said with a faint smile, ��Saint Azure? Huhu, do you think that I��d care about this sort of empty reputation?��


    Lin Chaotian said disdainfully, ��Since you forsake the title of Saint Azure, could this ancestor as the number one Dao Ancestor, be afraid of you still? Moreover, the people around you are all complicit in your betrayal of the human race. You dare to act wildly on my Origin Enlighten Mountain?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Then I��ll let you take a look at what right I have to talk to you this way!��


    Swoosh!


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan��s figure disappeared.


    Disappearing together with him was also Lin Huan.


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Several figures directly burst into clouds of blood mist, dying until not even dregs remained!


    One of them was Lin Lang!


    There were also several Deva Third Blights who died along with them.


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at that figure with shocked faces.


    This �� Just who was holding back from taking action for fear of implications?


    Lin Chaotian��s side had not killed anyone yet and Ye Yuan actually went on a killing spree already!


    Lin Chaotian��s face turned grim and he said furiously, ��Ye Yuan! Do you really take it as this ancestor doesn��t dare to kill people?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him. His figure moved and actually disappeared from where he was once more.


    Very soon, Lin Chaotian sensed Ye Yuan��s aura. He was actually heading in the direction of Origin Enlighten Mountain��s central region.


    Lin Chaotian��s pupils constricted. That mountain peak was the place where a Deva Fifth Blight was at.


    This person was his grandchild called Lin Xiu. His strength was even stronger than Lin Huan.


    This fellow was actually going to kill a Deva Fifth Blight?


    Lin Chaotian��s speed was very fast. But unfortunately, he was not as fast as Ye Yuan��s teleportation!


    Ye Yuan already shook him off in just a blink of an eye!


    His pupils shrunk and he said in shock, ��Just how long has it been? This guy became significantly stronger again!��


    Lin Chaotian did not dare to dawdle, his figure immediately flashing, shuttling into the void and chasing after.


    Ye Yuan did not hide his tracks in the slightest. An extremely powerful aura headed for Understanding Peak.


    Lin Xiu was currently cultivating when he suddenly felt a powerful aura rushing over head-on, and his brows could not help furrowing.


    However, he took no notice of it. The look of this aura was also just like someone who newly entered Deva Fourth Blight; far worse than him.


    It was only to see him take a step out, already meeting Ye Yuan.


    ��Who��s the arrival? To dare be unbridled in Origin Enlighten Bodhidharma, are you courting death?�� Lin Xiu��s brows furrowed, already striking with a sword.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was swift to the extreme, the Sword of Spacetime already in hand!


    He did not say a word, lifting his hand, it was a sword!


    ��Courting death!��


    Lin Xiu gave a cold snort, already genuinely enraged, urging his martial technique to the extreme.


    Originally, he did not take it to heart.


    But very soon, he felt that something was not right.


    This sword of Ye Yuan��s had an unstoppable momentum!


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s boundary, he already reached the realm of returning to one��s original simplicity.


    Coming and going, it was one sword!


    Swoosh!


    The two figures intersected and passed by, in only an instant.


    Ye Yuan did not stop, his figure disappearing again, already headed to another mountain in a threatening manner!


    There was another Deva Fifth Blight!


    Deva Fifth Blights were extremely rare in the outside world. But to a bodhidharma that had existed for ten billion years of time, their accumulation was naturally extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity communicated with heaven and earth. Every powerhouse here could not escape his eyes and ears.


    Lin Xiu��s figure was still stopped in midair as if scared silly.


    But right then, Lin Chaotian had just arrived.


    He took a look at Lin Xiu and his expression changed wildly!


    Lin Xiu was already without any life force!


    Ye Yuan��s sword was too fast, resulting in Lin Xiu still maintaining his original posture even after he died!


    Crack!


    The Dao artifact in Lin Xiu��s hand directly snapped into two.


    Half of it was still grasped in his hand.


    Then his head slipped off gently, his corpse falling softly.


    It turned out that Lin Xiu was actually decapitated already!


    Lin Chaotian��s heart shook wildly. What kind of situation was this?


    Killed a Deva Fifth Blight with one sword?


    One had to know, Deva Fifth Blights had reached the summit, and they were only a step away from Dao Ancestor!


    Even if Lin Xiu was not a top Deva Fifth Blight, he was also not someone who could be killed with one sword!


    How could Ye Yuan��s strength be formidable to such an extent?


    Suddenly, he somewhat understood what the words Ye Yuan said meant!


    And while he was in a daze, Ye Yuan��s figure already flew away from that mountain. He headed for the third mountain!


    Another Deva Fifth Blight died?


    Lin Chaotian completely could not describe the shock in his heart currently.


    He, a Dao Ancestor, could only follow behind Ye Yuan and eat dust?


    The last time he left, Ye Yuan was very strong but definitely not strong to such a degree!


    Now, he could actually effortlessly kill Deva Fifth Blights already!


    Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, and he said in alarm and anger, ��Enough! Ye Yuan, this ancestor admits that you have the qualification to negotiate with me!��

 Chapter 2463 - You Won’t! You Also Won’t Dare!

    Pfft ��


    A sword drifted by, the third Lin Family��s Deva Fifth Blight snuffed it just like that.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Lin Chaotian��s yell.


    He killed the third person before finally stopping.


    Within a short 20 breaths of time, the Lin Family had three Deva Fifth Blight powerhouses dying in a row!


    Those powerhouses who came to watch the show were all transfixed.


    They were shocked by Ye Yuan��s might until they found it hard to breathe!


    One person, one sword, forced the number one Dao Ancestor to give in.


    This battle achievement simply made people despair.


    ��S-So strong! One sword instantly killing Deva Fifth Blights. In this world, apart from Dao Ancestors, there��s probably no one who can do it, right?��


    ��From Ye Yuan leaving Origin Enlighten Mountain the last time until now, it��s been merely several years! His strength actually grew to such an extent, truly terrifying!��


    ��The further one cultivates, the harder it is to drag their feet. But why do I feel that the further he goes, the faster he gets instead?��


    �� ��


    They marveled at Ye Yuan��s talent. It could simply be described using the term monstrous.


    Only when he saw Ye Yuan stop did Lin Chaotian let out a slight sigh in relief.


    If Ye Yuan continued killing like this, his Lin Family would likely become him alone, a solitary seedling.


    Although these people were all his descendants, Lin Chaotian actually did not care about them.


    His mindset was already different from these people.


    If this descendant of his died, just give birth again.


    What he dreaded was Ye Yuan��s strength.


    The present Ye Yuan already had the capital to pose a threat to him!


    Although he could use White Light their lives to threaten Ye Yuan, if he really pressed Ye Yuan into a corner, Ye Yuan might run and find a place to hide.


    Before long, probably even him, this Dao Ancestor, would not be Ye Yuan��s match anymore.


    This was what he dreaded the most!


    At this moment, he also finally understood what basis Ye Yuan had to dare come.


    Fortunately, he still had many chips on hand.


    He knew that with Ye Yuan��s temperament, he definitely would not leave those people alone.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re too ���� Lin Chaotian was just about to berate Ye Yuan, but he was stopped by Ye Yuan with a hand gesture.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan casually throw Lin Huan onto the ground.


    Puchi!


    Another knife!


    ��I have yet to finish just now. After this guy breathes his last, we��ll talk again,�� Ye Yuan said without even turning his head back.


    There was no Dao Ancestor in his eyes at all.


    Lin Chaotian said angrily, ��You already killed three Deva Fifth Blights of my Lin Family! You still dare to kill people in front of my face? Let Lin Huan go! Otherwise, your people will die too!��


    Ye Yuan turned his head to give him a glance and said with a faint smile, ��You won��t! You also don��t dare!��


    When Lin Chaotian heard that, he could not help choking. This guy actually saw through everything!


    He had nothing to fear!


    Killing people did not have the slightest use apart from infuriating Ye Yuan!


    His eyes were incomparably dark, the two eyes virtually gouging flesh out of Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan ignored his murderous gaze and continued torturing Lin Huan.


    The entire mountain was deathly silent. It was only Lin Huan��s screams like a pig getting slaughtered spread throughout the wilderness.


    He either begged for mercy, or wailed bitterly; or was awake, or fainted.


    All in all, this process was extremely painful.


    ��Heh heh, His Excellency��s technique is really marvelous! This guy deserves to die! Do you feel satisfied, Brother Wan?�� Pang Zhen said with an excited look.


    After Wan Zhen was treated by Sacred Ancestor High Priest, his complexion already became much better.


    A Dao pill powerhouse taking action, would it be of the common sort?


    Hearing Pang Zhen��s question, Wan Zhen also nodded and said smilingly, ��This guy indeed deserves death! Those heroes who died miserably on the battlefield, became utterly worthless when it came out of his mouth! Heh, what irony!��


    Pang Zhen nodded and said, ��If these pigs assume airs at the back, then forget it. We went through fire and water. What we exchanged for was them making light of it! Heh heh, it��s still his excellency who is impressive! Really satisfying!��


    Wan Zhen looked at him like looking at a fool and suddenly said furiously, ��You pig! Who told you to tell His Excellency?��


    Pang Zhen was taken aback and said, ��What��s wrong? Isn��t it pretty good like this? Dao Ancestor Life can��t do anything to His Excellency at all!��


    Wan Zhen wished to smack him to death with one slap. Pang Zhen had excess valor and vigor but was lacking in intellect.


    He did not know what Ye Yuan appearing here meant.


    Wan Zhen had a disappointed experssion as he gritted his teeth and said, ��You dumb pig! The stronger His Excellency is, the more dangerous it is to come here! Do you think that Lin Chaotian will let him leave? His Excellency��s high morality reaches the clouds, he definitely won��t watch the people around him die for him! Now, His Excellency exhibited such formidable strength, Lin Chaotian will definitely not be contented with anything less than his destruction! You �� You �� sigh!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s expression was also solemn as he said, ��Previously, they coveted the secret on Ye Yuan, but now, it��s different! Ye Yuan already possesses the strength to threaten them. So they won��t let Ye Yuan off! Furthermore, with Ye Yuan��s character, most likely �� he��d rather die than be willing to let something happen to the people around him!��


    Pang Zhen��s complexion became more and more pale, and then he suddenly became a little flustered.


    He also did not think that the consequences would be so severe.


    ��This �� This �� Then what should I do?�� Pang Zhen panicked.


    ��What else can we do?! Take it one step at a time!�� Wan Zhen said helplessly.


    He knew about Ye Yuan��s temperament. Since he came, even the Jade Emperor would not be able to persuade him either.


    No idea how long had passed, Lin Huan finally stopped moving.


    Ye Yuan patted his hands and turned to Lin Chaotian and said, ��Alright, we can talk.��


    The corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth twitched slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Go to Origin Enlighten Hall, they are all waiting for you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What can��t be discussed in front of everyone? Didn��t you say that I��m the human race��s traitor? Now, shouldn��t you carry out an execution against me on the spot in front of everyone? Alright, I��m hesitating to take action out of fear of damage now and won��t fight back.��


    Lin Chaotian felt a myriad of profanities race across his mind, but he suppressed his fury and said, ��Brat, don��t reach for a yard after taking an inch!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Reaching for a yard after taking an inch seems to be you, right? I want to see my people. If they are missing a single hair, I��ll turn your nine great Dao Ancestors�� bodhidharmas into seas of blood!��


    Talking till the end, Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent again.


    If it were before, everyone would naturally laugh it off.


    But now, no one treated him like he was joking.


    He would really kill people!


    The corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth twitched again and he said, ��You rest assured. This ancestor didn��t do anything to them! Come, men! Bring the people to Origin Enlighten Hall!��


    Finished talking, he turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Now, can we go?��


    Ye Yuan said to Sacred Ancestor High Priest, ��After White Light they all come out, you bring them away.��


    The three people��s faces changed, all discerning overtones.


    Ye Yuan knew that he would not be able to come out anymore!


    Lin Chaotian would not give him this chance!


    Ye Yuan followed Lin Chaotian into Origin Enlighten Hall, but the outside world burst into an uproar.


    Those last few words at the back, Ye Yuan was not deliberately mocking Lin Chaotian, but he was doing it on purpose.


    It was for the sake of letting everyone know the nine great Dao Ancestors�� true faces!


    The meaning of these words was deep.


    How could clever people not understand that there was something fishy going on?


    Since it was a major matter that concerned the human race, why not talk in front of everyone?


    Moreover, what else was there to talk about?


    Just kill and be done with it!


    There was something fishy going on!

 Chapter 2464 - Heavenspan’s Events Shock the World!

    Chapter 2464: Heavenspan��s Events Shock the World!

    ��This isn��t right! Why do I feel more and more that the few great Dao Ancestors are doing it for the secrets on Ye Yuan?��


    ��Mn! I feel that way too! This matter is too suspicious!��


    ��There��s nothing that can��t be publicized! Especially major things that concern humanity��s fate! If Ye Yuan really betrayed the human race, why can they say it in front of everybody?��


    �� ��


    Before Origin Enlighten mountain pass gates, the numerous powerhouses were discussing animatedly.


    There was no shortage of Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses present.


    The conflict between the Dao Ancestors and Saint Azure affected the rise and fall of the myriad races. They could not help but pay attention.


    After all, the Doomsday Battle was not over yet.


    What was coming was the truly devastating war!


    This matter got into such a mess, everyone wanted to see an outcome..


    But who knew that at this final juncture, the Dao Ancestors shut the doors and did not let them see anything anymore!


    �� ��


    ��Big Brother!��


    ��Young Master!��


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    When Lu-er, White Light, Ye Tong, and the rest saw Ye Yuan, each and every one of their expressions were very ugly.


    They were least willing to see Ye Yuan come over. But he still came.


    Swoosh!


    A pink shadow rushed into Ye Yuan��s embrace and dug with its snout non-stop.


    Ye Yuan pat Treasure Pig smilingly and stuffed a few medicinal pills for him.


    Treasure Pig was satisfied, his head tilting and falling asleep.


    It was also strange. With Ye Yuan��s present realm, he actually still could not see through this little fellow.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��ve seen your people. Now, can we sit down and talk?�� Lin Chaotian said in a cold voice.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors�� auras were constantly locked onto Lu-er and the rest.


    If there was a trace of rustling leaves in the wind, he would immediately kill these people.


    This was also a warning to Ye Yuan.


    It was hard for him to kill Ye Yuan. But killing Lu-er they all only needed a thought!


    But Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Talk about what?��


    Lin Chaotian said, ��Talk about �� the secret on you!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Finally unfurled the map to reveal the dagger? Lin Chaotian, your behavior really makes people feel like vomiting!��


    Ancestor Fire gave a cold snort and said, ��Enough nonsense! Ye Yuan, hand over your secret! Otherwise, they will all die!��


    Ye Yuan gave Ancestor Fire a glance pitifully and sighed endlessly.


    Ancestor Fire��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��What��s the meaning of this? Are you handing it over or not?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m pitying you all! You all schemed for a long time and set up such a huge scheme. In the end, the thing that you obtain won��t be of any use at all! Huhu, pitiable, lamentable!��


    Ancestor Water said coolly, ��Whether it��s useful or not, don��t need you to worry about it! Better hand it over first. Otherwise, once our thoughts stir, they won��t be able to bear it.��


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, a small mountain appeared in his palm.


    Immediately, an aura of Great Dao rippled out!


    The faces of the nine great Dao Ancestors as well as everyone present was astounded by this aura.


    This aura was seemingly akin to flowing water that got into every opening, filling the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range in an instant.


    This was not enough yet, it was still flowing to even further places.


    Outside the mountain pass gates, everyone was dumbstruck with amazement!


    ��What��s this? What a strong aura of Great Dao! Why do I feel like the Heavenspan Mountain was moved to Origin Enlighten Mountain Range?��


    ��It came from the direction of the great hall! Sure enough, did Ye Yuan reveal his secret?��


    ��Hahaha �� what a joke! What betraying the human race! What human race��s righteous cause! The nine great Dao Ancestors are treating all of us like fools! His goal is simply the secret on Ye Yuan!��


    ��Shameless! Utterly contemptible! How can there be such a shameless person in this world?��


    �� ��


    The public opinion burst into an uproar at once.


    Such an earth-shaking aura of Great Dao, how could these people still not understand that everything before was all a lie!


    The nine great Dao Ancestors targeted Ye Yuan for the sake of this!


    Everything came to light!


    Ye Yuan did not betray the human race. All of the charges were imposed on Ye Yuan by the nine great Dao Ancestors!


    This scene was more convincing than any explanation!


    Hence, in front of the mountain pass gates, sounds of cursing seemed to pour over like tidewaters.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors all had shocked and agitated expressions on their faces.


    How long had it been since their mental states had been so agitated?


    ��Not good!�� Lin Chaotian was the first to recover to his senses from the excitement and exclaimed.


    Such a terrifying Great Dao aura spreading out, at this time, the entire Heavenspan World probably already knew.


    Then, everything that they had done previously all became a joke!


    Before this, Ye Yuan had already repeatedly hinted to those powerhouses outside.


    Now, seeing such a huge commotion, how could they still not understand?


    Sure enough, waves of cursing voices came over, scolding extremely nastily.


    Especially those Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses, they did not cover up at all and instead used the power of divine essence to spread their voices until they could be heard all over the mountain.


    Shameless, vile, despicable, give birth to a son without an asshole, so on and so forth. Words like that reverberated throughout the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range.


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze looked towards Ye Yuan coldly and he said in a deep voice, ��You did it on purpose!��


    Ye Yuan was amused and said with a smile, ��Yeah, I did it on purpose! Why? Afraid that others will know when you did it? You want to be a prostitute and also want to set up an archway to commemorate your chastity?��


    This Great Dao aura was deliberately released by Ye Yuan.


    He already refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and could control it freely.


    If he did not want the aura to spread out, he could naturally do it.


    However, he deliberately caused a huge commotion. He made everyone take a look at these few Dao Ancestors�� faces!


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze was slightly cold and he said, ��Humph! So what if they know? This ancestor is already standing at the summit of Heavenspan. After obtaining such a treasure, what else do I have to fear?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and threw the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain to Lin Chaotian carelessly and said, ��If you like it, just take it. Can we go?��


    The other eight great Dao Ancestors had long already been short of breath, and drooling for a long time already.


    Seeing Ye Yuan throw the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain over, they all made a move right away!


    But Lin Chaotian did not move!


    ��All stop for me! Have you all gone stupid? This brat wants to make us fight until only one of us will emerge alive, so that he can bring them and escape! Heh heh, will you all have the life to take the treasure, and have the life to study the treasure?�� Lin Chaotian��s voice was akin to a great bell, his aura constantly locked onto Lu-er and the rest firmly.


    His words were akin to a clap of thunder, waking the other eight great Dao Ancestors.


    The few great Dao Ancestors all felt lingering fear in their hearts. Almost fell for it!


    Ye Yuan��s foundation had already been established. Even without this treasure, after his strength increases significantly again, the nine great Dao Ancestors might not be a match!


    Lin Chaotian��s aura stirred slightly, immobilizing the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain firmly in the air. It was the same distance away from all the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    This way, it could make them be more at ease.


    ��What cunningness! This boy can��t be kept!�� Ancestor Fire had a feeling of being played and said in alarm and anger.


    ��Humph! Still waiting for what? The treasure is already obtained! Kill them to prevent future troubles!�� Dao Ancestor Destruction said angrily.


    ��Kill? How to kill? Can you kill him?�� Lin Chaotian secretly cursed him an idiot as he said with a cold snort.


    The bigger the problem was, the more carefully it had to be handled!

 Chapter 2465 - Grand Exhibition of Despotic Power!

    Lin Chaotian was indeed well-deserving of being the Heavenspan World��s number one person. He was indeed not so easy to hoodwink.


    Facing the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, this kind of precious treasure, he could actually resist the temptation.


    This greatly exceeded Ye Yuan��s expectations.


    He did indeed had this idea, throwing out the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, this heavyweight bombshell, and then leaving the place.


    As for the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s exposure, Ye Yuan actually did not mind it anymore.


    With his present strength and realm, there was already no one who could threaten him.


    After his strength was attained, wouldn��t going to find Lin Chaotian again to take back the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain be like picking his own pocket?


    But Lin Chaotian actually did not fall for it!


    Lin Chaotian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Heh, my Lord Saint Azure! Got to admit, you almost succeeded! It��s just that, you don��t know that this ancestor��s understanding of you far surpasses your imagination! This ancestor has been on guard against you!��


    The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain coming into being, the world was shocked!


    How could Lin Chaotian as the number one Dao Ancestor not feel the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s terror?


    It was just that he had long already studied Ye Yuan thoroughly over these few years!


    Others might underestimate him because Ye Yuan was young, but Lin Chaotian would not!


    Ye Yuan was absolutely a terrifying opponent!


    Even if his strength was inferior to yours, you absolutely could not underestimate him!


    On Ye Yuan��s road of ascent, he encountered many powerful opponents.


    But these people eventually all fell at his feet.


    Sometimes, it was because of his powerful strength to jump realms and battle.


    But at times, what Ye Yuan relied on was his wise and farsighted mind!


    Many powerful major figures were defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Along with the research on Ye Yuan going deeper and deeper, Lin Chaotian increasingly felt this opponent��s terror.


    Lin Chaotian knew that this was the one and only chance to get rid of Ye Yuan.


    Miss the opportunity this time and he probably would not have a chance anymore.


    Therefore, he did not dare to take it too lightly!


    When Ye Yuan took out the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, his heart was moved.


    He was the same as the other Dao Ancestors, immersed in it and unable to extricate himself, wishing to take it right away and go into closed-seclusion.


    But he still retained the final trace of clarity in his heart.


    He knew that he could not immerse in it!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, aware that it was troublesome now, and said, ��Alright, state your conditions!��


    Lin Chaotian smiled and said, ��Talking with smart people saves effort. Very simple, you sever your meridians yourself and cripple your own divine sea, and stay here forever. This ancestor will let them go.��


    The moment these words came out, the eight great Dao Ancestors all revealed knowing smiles.


    While Lu-er and the rest turned pale with fright.


    After severing one��s own meridians, the divine essence would have no place to store, and one would not be able to utilize cultivation methods and martial techniques. It would be tantamount to being a cripple.


    Crippling one��s divine sea was equivalent to severing the communication between the martial artist and their small world and be rendered unable to use the power of the world.


    These two conditions were tantamount to making Ye Yuan sever his own limbs.


    How vicious was the intent!


    Even if Ye Yuan��s laws were heaven-defying, without divine essence, he would be a rootless weed too and would be completely unable to execute the art of teleportation.


    ��No way! Young Master, you hurry up and leave, don��t need to care about us!�� Lu-er said worriedly.


    ��Big Brother, I know that they can��t keep you back! You go back and cultivate properly, and eliminate these few bastards! As long as you don��t die, he won��t dare to do anything to us!�� White Light said furiously.


    Got to admit, White Light��s words make a lot of sense.


    But Lin Chaotian chuckled and said, ��Yeah, this ancestor naturally won��t kill you all. But, this ancestor can torment you all, making you all unable to pray for life, nor beg for death! Also, this young lady, hoho, my Lin Family has many disciples who aren��t married yet. She can still be a concubine.��


    Lu-er��s pretty face turned ashen pale, and she said angrily, ��You! Despicable! Shameless!��


    Lin Chaotian understood Ye Yuan too well. He would never abandon these people and leave by himself.


    If that was the case, Ye Yuan would not have come at all.


    ��As you wish!��


    However, Ye Yuan did not say another word, and revolved his cultivation method without hesitation!


    ��Pfft!��


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly. The imposing aura of his body seemed to be like a deflated ball, disappearing in a blink of an eye.


    His divine sea had already been wasted by himself.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being greatly shocked.


    Even the nine great Dao Ancestors�� pupils shrunk slightly too.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually be so decisive, and not even think about it!


    If it was someone else, this sort of major matter that concerned life and death, they would surely think thrice.


    But Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all.


    Clearly, in his heart, the statuses of Lu-er, White Light, and the rest were even more important than he himself!


    Ye Yuan was feeble, looking at Lin Chaotian with an indifferent look as he said, ��Now, can you let them go?��


    Lin Chaotian nodded and said with a slight smile, ��That��s of course! You all are free!��


    He did not immediately ask Ye Yuan to sever his own meridians. Between clever people, there did not need to be much agreement.


    Everyone was perfectly clear in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan naturally had to save a card up his sleeves too.


    Lin Chaotian swept his sleeves grandly, Lu-er and a large group of people were swept away involuntarily.


    When they re-appeared, they already arrived before the Origin Enlighten mountain pass gates.


    ��Young Master!�� Lu-er burst into tears and was about to head for Origin Enlighten Hall.


    ��Brother Wing, take them away!�� Ye Yuan��s voice came out from the direction of Origin Enlighten Hall.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s gaze turned dark, already faintly having guesses.


    He pointed at the void, a powerful force sealed Lu-er, not letting her leave.


    ��What��s wrong with Ye Yuan?�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at Bai Tong and said with an ugly expression.


    Bai Tong had a black face, recounting the events that happened in Origin Enlighten Hall, making Sacred Ancestor High Priest burn with rage.


    ��This bunch of bastards, they really don��t want any face at all!��


    Bai Tong sneered and said, ��Want face? But as long as they want a bit of face, they also wouldn��t have done such a despicable thing!��


    Their voices were not covered up, everyone heard it.


    Right away, the public burned with indignation!


    ��Nine great Dao Ancestors! Heh, I think it��s nine great shamelessness!��


    ��The war is near at hand, this bunch of guys are actually still scheming against each other, doing this sort of shameless thing, really impressive!��


    ��Release him! We want Saint Azure!��


    �� ��


    Outside the mountain pass gates, angry roars lingered incessantly.


    These powerhouses had already finished scolding the nine great Dao Ancestors�� 18 generations of ancestors.


    Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the sky.


    Crimson-haired and red face, it was precisely Ancestor Fire!


    Only to see his eyes turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��All disperse! If there are any more people raising a ruckus, kill without mercy!��


    Powerful flame rule power instantly rippled between heaven and earth.


    Everyone��s expressions changed drastically.


    This terrifying power was not what they were able to contend with at all!


    Seeing that everyone was still reluctant to leave, Ancestor Fire pointed with his fingertip.


    Boom!


    In a certain region, dozens of powerhouses were directly burned to ashes!


    The strength of a Dao Ancestor was utterly terrifying!


    With this, everyone was really afraid.


    Even if they joined forces, it was impossible to be a Dao Ancestor��s match too!


    Under Ancestor Fire��s despotic power, these powerhouses retreated one after another with intense unwillingness.


    Lin Chaotian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Now, you should sever your meridians yourself! Otherwise, Ancestor Fire will kill the people!��


    Although there was Wing, this rule powerhouse around, he was not Ancestor Fire��s match after all.


    He could bring people away, but casualties were inevitable.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Blood vessels directly exploded on Ye Yuan��s body, instantly dyeing his clothes red.


    All the meridians in his entire body snapped inch by inch completely!

 Chapter 2466 - What a Large Pig!

    ��Now, are you satisfied?�� Ye Yuan was covered in fresh blood, looking at Lin Chaotian as he said in a cold voice.


    All the Dao Ancestors exchanged glances and smiled, clearly all setting their minds at ease.


    Meridians completely severed and divine sea being crippled, there was already nothing to fear about Ye Yuan.


    This mortal calamity was finally resolved!


    ��Huhu, satisfied, very satisfied!�� Lin Chaotian said with a smile.


    There was a kind of smugness that could not be concealed in the smile.


    Ye Yuan was really someone hard to deal with.


    Although he was the number one Dao Ancestor and that he was powerful to the extreme, he still dreaded Ye Yuan immensely.


    In the last battle, Ye Yuan escaping from under the teaming-up of the nine of them seriously greatly exceeded their expectations.


    It was also precisely because of this that his fear toward Ye Yuan reached its peak.


    So this time, he was determined to succeed!


    Obtaining the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was naturally a part of the plan.


    But finishing Ye Yuan off was the matter that he was most, most concerned about.


    In fact, it was even above obtaining the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    There was a ripple in the void, Ancestor Fire��s figure appeared in the hall.


    ��All left! Brother Chaotian, is it inappropriate for us to do this?�� Ancestor Fire said with a frown.


    The matter this time already completely went out of their control.


    Right now, the entire Heavenspan World was berating them, the nine great Dao Ancestors!


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were naturally not people of the mortal realm.


    But they still could not escape mortals and exist on their own.


    Lin Chaotian did not take it to heart and said coolly, ��Huhu, mortals are all forgetful! With this treasure, our strength will definitely be able to improve further! At that time, when we exterminate those few fellows from the divine race, with this kind of great achievement, are you still scared that they won��t prostrate in worship towards us?��


    The eyes of all the Dao Ancestors lit up, gazes when looking toward the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was full of searing heat and thirst.


    Clearly, they already could not wait.


    But Ye Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Lin Chaotian, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself! You think that by obtaining the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, you��ll be able to improve further?��


    But Lin Chaotian did not dare and said coolly, ��You can, so why can��t I? This treasure contains heaven and earth Great Dao. It��s virtually a miniature Heavenspan Mountain! Obtaining it, with this ancestor��s talents, I��ll definitely be able to improve further!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, ��People are different, each one being unique!��


    With regards to the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan had absolute confidence.


    It was absolutely impossible for Lin Chaotian to improve further!


    When Ye Yuan just entered the Heavenspan Mountain, he suddenly had an inspiration, and entered Great Dao with Alchemy Dao, creating the Chaos Heavenspan Canon with astonishing talent. That was how he had today��s strength.


    But the nine great Dao Ancestors�� foundations were already set. They had long already formed innate ideas with regards to the journey of Dao and could not change at all.


    It was not that Ye Yuan was convinced that his talent was outstanding, far surpassing that of the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    It was just that unless Lin Chaotian had tremendous courage and could give up all the inherent understanding, and start all over again!


    Otherwise, even if he comprehended until heaven and earth turned old, it was also impossible to break the shackles.


    Making a Dao Ancestor cripple his own small world and start all over from the top?


    Who could have such tremendous guts and courage?


    Ye Yuan was confident that if he was a Dao Ancestor, it would also be impossible to take this step!


    Let alone that even if Lin Chaotian really started over from the top, he also did not have time to cultivate to the Creation Realm anymore!


    The system that Ye Yuan cultivated and the Heavenspan World��s inherent cultivation system, was of completely different concepts.


    His cultivation would not disregard cultivation realms and advance by leaps and bounds because Lin Chaotian was a Dao Ancestor.


    Time and fate!


    It was impossible for Lin Chaotian to ever break the fetters!


    Of course, the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was a precious treasure. After the few great Dao Ancestors obtained it, their strength would definitely increase.


    It was just that, there was no possibility of wanting to break the shackles at all!


    Lin Chaotian��s brows furrowed together.


    Ye Yuan��s wave of cold water made him very unhappy!


    ��Humph! You��re already a cripple, and yet you still dare to be arrogant in front of us? This ancestor will send you on your way right now!��


    Ancestor Fire was enraged, a terrifying aura engulfed everything and swept over.


    ��Honk!��


    But right then, the Treasure Pig in Ye Yuan��s shirt woke up unhurriedly.


    Treasure Pig opened its bleary eyes and suddenly felt a powerful killing aura.


    With this, Treasure Pig was completely startled awake!


    It was only to see its eyes go wide, the hair all over its body directly standing up.


    A burst of fury erupted from Treasure Pig��s eyes.


    Boom!


    An aura that did not lose to Ancestor Fire suddenly erupted.


    It was only to see Treasure Pig��s figure suddenly become large, becoming larger, just like a constantly inflating balloon.


    Seeing this scene, regardless of whether it was Ye Yuan or the nine great Dao Ancestors, they were all shocked until they could not close their mouths!


    No one could have thought that this adorable pinkish piglet actually had such terrifying strength.


    Rule powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan opened his mouth wide, a look of disbelief on his face.


    Treasure Pig was actually a rule powerhouse!


    Furthermore, his aura was actually not the slightest bit weaker than one of the nine great Dao Ancestors, Ancestor Fire!


    What kind of situation was this?


    Furthermore, the current Treasure Pig was clearly in a state of madness. How was there still any cute appearance?


    His expression was savage, eyes ferocious, just like an enraged wild boar, wanting to level this world!


    Boom!


    Treasure Pig suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames, closing in on Ancestor Fire!


    The terrifying temperature seemed to want to burn heaven and earth.


    Ancestor Fire��s expression changed wildly. He did not expect that in this world, apart from him, there was actually still someone �� a pig, that could unleash such a terrifying flame attack!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ancestor Fire also shot a flame out!


    Two power of rules collided in the great hall.


    Boom!


    A terrifying flame directly blew up, blasting the great hall into nothingness.


    The battle of two great rule powerhouses also instantly spread to the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain.


    For some time, the casualties were countless!


    And Ancestor Fire actually staggered under this blow, and was almost knocked over!


    ��What a terrifying flame temperature! What��s going on here? In this world, apart from Ancestor Fire, there��s actually still someone who can cultivate flame law to the realm of rule?��


    ��This aura, hang on! Sacred Ancestor High Priest has clearly already left! So where did this tenth rule aura come from?��


    ��You guys, look! What a large pig! A pig is actually a rule powerhouse? This �� How is this possible?��


    �� ��


    The battle of rule powerhouses was too widespread.


    Many powerhouses already left Origin Enlighten mountain pass gates, but did not go far.


    Currently, they looked from afar, only to see an enormous pink pig, facing off against the nine great Dao Ancestors from a distance.


    Its aura was actually not the least bit weak!


    This discovery made all the powerhouses extremely shocked.


    There were no rules in this world, this was the consensus of all of the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses.


    Apart from the nine great Dao Ancestors, no one could reach the level of rules.


    Someone as strong as Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets did not reach this step too.


    But now, a pig that appeared from God knows where! It was actually a rule powerhouse. How could they not be surprised?


    They were surprised, but the nine great Dao Ancestors were even more surprised than them!


    No one could have thought that that pink lump piglet that burrowed into Ye Yuan��s embrace was actually a rule powerhouse.


    Forget that it was a rule powerhouse, this pig was actually even stronger than Ancestor Fire!


    Ancestor Fire��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    F*cking hell!


    He cultivated for countless years and even reached the realm of Dao Ancestor, and yet he was actually inferior to a pig?

 Chapter 2467 - Became a Spirit!

    ��Honk!��


    Treasure Pig gave an angry roar. Its pig mouth opened, and rows of water swords shot toward Ancestor Fire.


    This power was actually also a power of rules!


    This pig actually grasped two great power of rules at the same time!


    Ancestor Fire��s expression changed wildly, hurriedly meeting the challenge.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Heaven and earth were collapsing, terrifying energy undulation made everyone��s faces change.


    What was even scarier was that Ancestor Fire was being completely suppressed!


    Water and fire gushed from Treasure Pig��s mouth, the power being boundless. It actually fought until Ancestor Fire did not have the slightest strength to fight back!


    Ye Yuan was dumbstruck with amazement from watching. He fed Treasure Pig for so many years and never knew that he was so strong!


    He remembered back then that Treasure Pig sent Lin Changqing flying with a sneeze.


    Although it was surprising, Ye Yuan did not feel that it was too exaggerated.


    After all, Treasure Pig was also a very special existence in Bamboo Groove Void Realm.


    But now, Treasure Pig actually fought until Ancestor Fire did not have the slightest strength to fight back! This was too exaggerated.


    Origin Enlighten Mountain Range was directly crumbled apart by two great Ancestor Realm powerhouses fighting, spiritual energy collapsing and dissipating.


    The group of powerhouses hid far away, such a battle was too terrifying!


    ��I��ll help you!��


    At this time, Dao Ancestor Destruction suddenly burst forth with an imposing momentum, joining the battle with a flash.


    The moment Dao Ancestor Destruction made his move, space shattered, and not a blade of grass survived!


    That kind of horrifying attack simply obliterated the heaven and decimated the earth!


    These two great Dao Ancestors were all known for the power of their offensive strength.


    It was just that sadly, the addition of Dao Ancestor Destruction did not suppress Treasure Pig. They just barely fought to a draw with Treasure Pig.


    The might of Treasure Pig was utterly appalling!


    The more the two great Dao Ancestors fought, the more alarmed they got. Treasure Pig was like a rule transmitter, all kinds of attacks emerging in endless streams.


    Furthermore, there was never a stop!


    Suddenly, a strong thick strange fragrance spread out. The entire world teemed with this fragrance.


    When the fragrance entered his nose, Ye Yuan��s expression became weird.


    His brows furrowed and he said in surprise, ��This fragrance is �� medicinal fragrance?��


    Very clearly, this exotic fragrance effused from Treasure Pig��s body.


    This guy was in the heat of a great battle and his body was actually giving off such a thick medicinal fragrance.


    Ye Yuan��s mind spun like lightning and had an answer very soon.


    It was just that, he was also stunned by this answer, disbelief written all over his face.


    ��This guy �� wouldn��t be a Dao pill, right?�� Ye Yuan said in shock.


    At the same time, Lin Chaotian��s face also revealed a look of sudden realization and cried out in surprise, ��Legends has it that back then, Grand Ancestor Profound Spirit refined a Dao pill. As a result, it brought down heaven and earth Dao tribulation, and a mutation happened to the Dao pill! Could it be that this pig is that Dao pill?��


    ��What! This pig is �� a Dao pill?�� By the side, Ancestor Water was dumbstruck with amazement.


    ��This �� This is also too inconceivable, right? Grand Ancestor Profound Spirit was the alchemy path��s number one person back then!�� Ancestor Lightning also said in shock.


    A Dao pill became a spirit!


    They all, these Dao Ancestors, actually could not beat a Dao pill!


    The group of Dao Ancestors opened their mouths wide, shocked until it could not be any greater.


    A Dao pill actually transformed into a pig and even cultivated to the realm of rule!


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze gradually turned from shock into ecstasy and greed.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he yelled, ��Treasure Pig, come back!��


    When Treasure Pig heard that, he released a few shots through the air and turned back to return to Ye Yuan��s side, turning into a pink pig and returning to Ye Yuan��s arms.


    Hearing Lin Chaotian��s words, Ye Yuan finally understood why Treasure Pig liked him so much.


    The alchemy Dao teachings in the last epoch were imparted by him.


    The medicinal pills that he refined had a familiar taste to Treasure Pig.


    Furthermore, Treasure Pig ate medicinal pills to live. It was actually also strengthening his own strength.


    The taste of the medicinal pills that Ye Yuan refined was naturally extraordinary.


    It was just that with Treasure Pig revealing his identity, he was now viewed as a great tonic to Lin Chaotian they all!


    Regarding a Dao pill that cultivated and became a spirit, its strength was even stronger than a Dao Ancestor.


    If they ate Treasure Pig, their strength would most likely grow to a terrifying point.


    To powerhouses at the level of Lin Chaotian, even Dao pills did not have much effect anymore.


    But Treasure Pig was an exception!


    He was the proud work of Grand Ancestor Profound Spirit and had even experienced the accumulation of countless years, and already grew into a Dao Ancestor-like existence.


    Such a Dao pill, one absolutely could not find a second one in the world.


    He determined Lin Chaotian��s plans from the change in his eyes, so he quickly called Treasure Pig back.


    Although Treasure Pig was strong, it was also impossible to be the nine great Dao Ancestors�� match.


    ��Treasure Pig, in a while, you bring my physical body and escape. The further you run, the better! Don��t need to care about me! Even if they chase you, don��t continue fighting. Understood?�� Ye Yuan transmitted his voice with his divine soul and communicated with Treasure Pig.


    Witnessing Treasure Pig��s strength, Ye Yuan had long already made a plan.


    If Treasure Pig brought him along, they definitely could not escape.


    Escaping from under the hands of the nine great Dao Ancestors, this was something virtually impossible.


    Moreover, with Ye Yuan��s current state, he was simply a burden to Treasure Pig.


    Treasure Pig looked toward Ye Yuan, his gaze flickering.


    Ye Yuan knew that he understood!


    ��Leave!��


    Ye Yuan shouted loudly, his origin divinity instantly leaving his body!


    Treasure Pig was extremely intelligent, he erupted at the same time, holding Ye Yuan��s physical body in his mouth, turning tail and running.


    Lin Chaotian and the rest had astounded faces. Clearly, they were caught off-guard by this sudden change.


    But his reaction was also extremely fast as he said, ��Ancestor Fire, Ancestor Water, Destruction, the three of you go chase that pig, don��t need to finish him off! Just delay him will do! The few of us go and chase Ye Yuan! After killing Ye Yuan, we��ll regroup with you again! Heh, this brat actually dared to have his divine soul leave the body, truly reckless and blind!��


    Lin Chaotian was still very awake at this time. To him, Ye Yuan was of the utmost importance!


    Letting Ye Yuan escape, there would be no end to future troubles!


    Therefore, even if Ye Yuan escaped with his divine soul body, he still brought the main force to hunt Ye Yuan down.


    At this time, there was no way for the Dao Ancestors they all to hesitate either. Fire, Water, and Destruction, three great Dao Ancestors, directly turned into wisps of green smoke, chasing after.


    Ye Yuan cultivated the chaos origin divinity, he traversed the world incredibly swiftly.


    Although he was unable to borrow spacetime law to carry out teleportation, his speed was not much slower.


    Lin Chaotian and the rest turned into six streaks of long rainbow, chasing right after.


    This sudden change stunned all of the powerhouses.


    ��This �� What in the world is going on here? That pig was actually a Dao pill that cultivated and achieved sentience?��


    ��Ye Yuan��s divine soul actually left his body in order to let that pig run? How can he possibly escape the pursuit of Dao Ancestors with a wisp of a divine soul?��


    ��I��m afraid that he knows that he can��t escape anymore, that��s why he used himself as a bait to let that pig escape.��


    �� ��


    No one could have thought that the show today actually developed into this state. It was truly full of twists and turns.


    Except, they also let out long sighs in the end.


    Ye Yuan was ultimately unable to escape the fiendish clutches of the Dao Ancestors!


    Divine soul leaving the body was no different from suiciding.


    ��How can this brat��s divine soul body be so fast?�� Lin Chaotian��s expression changed slightly as he said.


    Upon chasing, they discovered that they actually could not catch up to Ye Yuan within a short time!��


    To the group of Dao Ancestors, this was simply inconceivable.

 Chapter 2468 - : Unkillable!

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several powerhouse auras surrounded a gray-robed youth in the middle, sealing off all of his escape routes.


    Chasing for half a day, the six great Dao Ancestors finally caught up to Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity.


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was very ugly. He did not expect that the speed of Ye Yuan��s divine soul was actually so fast.


    This half a day��s time, no idea what was the situation over there anymore.


    ��Humph! See where you can still run to!�� Lin Chaotian said in a deep voice.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, ��Lin Chaotian, you exhausted your brain and also didn��t expect that Treasure Pig was actually a rule powerhouse, right? Huhu, now that you can��t kill me this time, I��m afraid that you��ll find it hard to eat and sleep in the future.��


    The six great Dao Ancestors had strange looks on their faces. Did this guy not figure out the situation yet?


    Your divine soul had already been nabbed by us, still want to get out alive?


    ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you already have nowhere to retreat, what will you use to seek revenge on us? Using that fleshy body of yours? Foolish guy, do you think that I��ll chase that pig and let you off? In my eyes, your importance is much greater than a Dao pill!�� Lin Chaotian said with a loud laugh.


    ��Fool, have you not figured out the situation yet? Your divine soul is about to be annihilated right away. Yet, you��re actually threatening us here?�� Ancestor Wind snickered and said.


    But facing six great Dao Ancestors, Ye Yuan was very relaxed as he said smilingly, ��The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain will be placed with you all for the time being. I��ll come and retrieve it later. Uh �� this period of time, you all have to work a little harder. At that time, don��t disappoint me.��


    Lin Chaotian��s brows furrowed slightly, having a foreboding premonition.


    He understood Ye Yuan very well. These words seemed like posturing but Ye Yuan absolutely would not put up a bold front under the circumstances where he was not confident.


    Could it be that this guy really still had some trump card?


    Ye Yuan snickered and actually ignored the six great Dao Ancestors, passing through them.


    The six great Dao Ancestors exchanged glances, was it possible that this guy was a fool?


    Lin Chaotian��s brows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, he thrust a palm over.


    Boom!


    Terrifying energy undulation directly shattered Ye Yuan��s divine soul into pieces.


    Lin Chaotian curled his lips and said, ��This ancestor was still wondering what trump card there was. After half a day, it was indeed making an empty show of strength!��


    Ancestor Wind smiled and said, ��Hahaha, honestly, he acted rather real. This ancestor almost believed it!��


    Dao Ancestor Darkness also smiled and said, ��This guy is too freaky, it indeed makes people feel anxious. But this time, he��s de-de ����


    Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Darkness�� eyeballs went wide, looking at a certain place with a disbelieving look.


    That ��dead�� word, could not continue saying anymore.


    ��Huhu, Darkness, have you gone silly from joy?�� Ancestor Wind could not help laughing as he said.


    ��Not that he��s gone silly. It��s you who have gone stupid!�� At this time, a voice sounded out leisurely, seemingly so familiar.


    Ancestor Wind��s eyelids twitched, turning to look at that place. Immediately, his eyeballs became engorged.


    Ye Yuan was actually standing there perfectly fine like nothing happened.


    Lin Chaotian looked towards Ye Yuan, immediately feeling his scalp tingle.


    How could this guy be completely fine?


    ��You all seem to be very surprised? Lin Chaotian, did you boast that you understand me very well? This time, you seem to be very surprised! If I didn��t have a trump card, would I face the six of you great Dao Ancestors based on a wisp of a divine soul?�� Ye Yuan said with a disdainful look.


    Lin Chaotian had a shocked face as he said in disbelief, ��You �� How can you possibly be completely fine? Something is odd �� about your divine soul!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, I don��t understand it too well either. But some kind of change seems to have happened to my divine soul. Forgot to tell you, Tian Qing was the same as you, wanted to kill me. But it was a shame. He couldn��t kill me either.��


    Lin Chaotian��s pupils constricted, his eyes being filled with shock.


    His divine soul, even Tian Qing was actually helpless against it too?


    Having experienced the last Doomsday Battle, Lin Chaotian naturally knew what kind of figure Tian Qing was!


    Even Tian Qing could not kill Ye Yuan. If so, then how strong was his divine soul?


    However, Lin Chaotian was Dao Ancestor Life in the end. After experiencing the initial-most shock, he laughed coldly and said, ��Heh, you want to intimidate this ancestor with a few words? Can��t kill one time, then this ancestor will kill you ten times, a hundred times! This ancestor wants to see whether you can pull through or not!��


    Finished talking, Lin Chaotian raised his hand and it was another palm, striking until the void shattered.


    Boom!


    The chaos origin divinity was shattered again. But very soon, those gray-colored powder condensed together once more, recovering back to new!


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian and said smilingly, ��Huhu, if you have the leisure time to kill me ten times, a hundred times, then bring it on!��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan��s figure moved, running away again.


    The six great Dao Ancestors had shocked looks on their faces, hurriedly chasing after.


    ��How is this possible? His divine soul actually can��t be killed?�� Ancestor Wind still did not quite dare to believe it until now.


    Lin Chaotian had a gloomy look and said, ��No matter what, we absolutely can��t let him escape!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    In a blink, more than half a month passed. Terrifying sounds came from above the void from time to time.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul was shattered over and over again.


    Except, it was useless!


    The more the six great Dao Ancestors killed, the more fearful they became.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul did not show any signs of dissipating.


    Lin Chaotian gritted his teeth and said, ��Damn it! We already killed him dozens of times. Yet, his divine soul actually doesn��t have any signs of weakening! What kind of change happened to this guy��s divine soul?��


    At this time, Lin Chaotian finally believed that Ye Yuan was not bragging anymore.


    They really could not kill Ye Yuan!


    Dao Ancestor Darkness said in a solemn voice, ��Undying divine soul! I never heard of it before! Even if it��s Tian Qing, once his divine soul is destroyed, it will be certain death too. It would be absolutely impossible to survive. This boy is really too freakish!��


    Ahead, came Ye Yuan��s jeering voice, ��Lin Chaotian, if I were you, I��d make the best use of my time to go back and gain enlightenment on the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. I can feel that Heavenly Dao Samsara will definitely occur within ten years. If you have the time to waste here with me, better to go back and increase your strength. Maybe you��ll still have a chance to turn the tables!��


    Lin Chaotian had a look of unwillingness on his face. But he knew that what Ye Yuan said was right!


    Keep wasting time like this was no good to anyone.


    They were almost approaching the Abyss World. It was not much far ahead. As long as Ye Yuan escaped into the Abyss World, they would not dare to enter too.


    Rather than wasting time here, better to go back and cultivate.


    Having obtained such a precious treasure, perhaps there would really be some breakthrough.


    ��Leave!�� Finally, Lin Chaotian carried strong unwillingness and turned around and left.


    Ancestor Wind said angrily, ��Letting him go just like that? If he stages a comeback, what should we do?��


    Lin Chaotian said furiously, ��Can you kill him?��


    Ancestor Win could not help choking when he heard that.


    Lin Chaotian ignored him and left on his own.


    The five great Dao Ancestors were unwilling too and could only follow after and leave.


    Ye Yuan watched the few people��s departing back views, a look of amusement on his face.


    ��Huhu, really didn��t expect that that unremarkable boy back then, could actually grow to this point, truly surprising!�� Right at this time, a voice sounded out with a touch of playfulness.

 Chapter 2469 - Dao of Devouring!

    Ye Yuan looked toward the arrival and could not help being slightly surprised.


    His chaos origin divinity��s perception was extremely strong, this person naturally could not escape his perception.


    It was just that this person��s appearance surprised him greatly.


    This person was actually Medicine Ancestor��s eldest disciple, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy!


    If Medicine Ancestor appeared here, Ye Yuan would not be surprised at all.


    But the one who appeared was actually Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    This eldest disciple who looked a little simple and honest was without any sharp edge to speak of.


    Back then when Cloudheart Realm collapsed, those Medicine Ancestor��s disciples that died had died, while those who fled had fled. They had long since disappeared without a trace.


    Who knew that today, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy actually appeared in front of him.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lastingjoy and said, ��Brother Lastingjoy seems �� to no longer be what you used to be! You followed us along the way and actually hid from the Dao Ancestors�� perception!��


    Lastingjoy had his hands behind his back as he said with a smile, ��Didn��t I fail to hide from Lord Saint Azure��s perception? It really surprises this emperor. Lord Saint Azure is actually so powerful, where even Dao Ancestors can��t kill you!��


    These few years, Lastingjoy had been in closed-seclusion inside a small world all along.


    All the way until the recent few years, Lastingjoy returned to the Heavenspan World and transcended the Deva Fifth Blight.


    At present, Medicine Ancestor��s Alchemy Dao was already completely digested by him.


    His strength was already just a step away from the realm of Dao pill.


    Therefore, he prepared to go and find the last target for devouring, Ye Yuan!


    As long as he devoured Ye Yuan, he would surely be able to reach the realm of Dao pill!


    Who would have thought that presently, the world had already changed drastically? That little fellow who provoked Medicine Ancestor back then actually transformed with a sway of his body, becoming the eternal Saint Azure!


    When he got this news, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was truly incomparably shocked.


    But fortunately, Ye Yuan actually fell out with the nine great Dao Ancestors. This let him find an opportunity to take advantage of.


    Sure enough, he had been constantly observing the battle around Origin Enlighten Mountain Range this time, and he finally found an opportunity.


    Ye Yuan��s divine soul actually went out of his body!


    Hence, he tagged along all the way, following until here.


    But along the way, it shocked him until he stared dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape.


    Six great Dao Ancestors took turns to attack, decimating Ye Yuan dozens of times, but Ye Yuan��s divine soul was actually completely fine!


    This sort of thing was simply too insane!


    He lived to a ripe old age and had never seen such a crazy thing.


    Unkillable!


    But very soon, Lastingjoy went from shock to wild ecstasy.


    What his Dao of Devouring primarily targeted was the divine soul.


    If he could absorb Ye Yuan��s divine soul, then wouldn��t he achieve an undying body?


    In the future, what did Dao Ancestors count for?


    Presently, the world had changed greatly, Dao Ancestors were no longer such unreachable existences.


    Didn��t that pig take down a Dao Ancestor?


    Ye Yuan looked at Lastingjoy and said with a smile, ��Huhu, Brother Lastingjoy seems to be very interested in this Ye.��


    Lastingjoy did not hide it either, nodding as he said, ��You and I both take Alchemy Dao as the highest pursuit. Lastingjoy is naturally interested in you. The last time in Cloudheart Realm, this emperor actually really wanted to exchange blows with Younger Brother Ye. It��s just a pity that at that time, Master already gave the order. Hence, Lastingjoy didn��t have that fortune. Wonder if Younger Brother Ye can satisfy Lastingjoy��s long-cherished wish?��


    Ye Yuan was a little surprised in his heart. Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy took such a huge risk to tag along. It was in order to compete in alchemy with him?


    He did not believe it even if he was beaten to death!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy looked very honest and sincere, but when Ye Yuan faced him, he always had a dangerous feeling.


    Ye Yuan did not agree immediately, but asked, ��I remember that back then, you should have escaped Cloudheart Realm together with Medicine Ancestor. Where is he?��


    Lastingjoy beamed and said nonchalantly, ��Dead!��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched slightly. This guy said it so casually!


    His own master died, it was as if he was talking about a casual matter.


    However, Medicine Ancestor was a fierce and ambitious person of his generation. He was indeed a rare talent of the alchemy path.


    But he did not expect that in the end, he actually ended up in such a plight.


    No need to think, Ye Yuan also guessed what happened between the master and apprentice.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was that sort of treacherous person who seemed loyal.


    Looked very honest and simple, harmless to man and beast, but was actually very dangerous.


    This sort of person made people stay on alert the most.


    In Cloudheart Realm, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s sense of existence was not strong. In fact, it was inferior to his junior apprentice brother, Heavenly Emperor Distantbook.


    But in the end, it was still him who had the last laugh!


    Lastingjoy smiled and said, ��Younger Brother Ye is a clever man. This emperor won��t beat around the bush anymore. This emperor has already obtained all of Master��s inheritance and is only half a step away from being able to reach the realm of Dao pill! This emperor needs a powerful opponent to help me to take this step. I wonder if Younger Brother Ye can grant my wish?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��You��re really just looking for me to compete in alchemy?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy could not help laughing as he said, ��If I wanted to be detrimental to Younger Brother Ye, I��d have long made a move. Why bother to waste my breath with you? Moreover, about Younger Brother Ye��s divine soul, even Dao Ancestors can kill you. Are you still afraid of me taking action?��


    Without thinking, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Sorry, I don��t compete in alchemy with people who betray their master!��


    After he finished talking, Ye Yuan turned around to leave.


    But right then, the sky suddenly darkened.


    A huge suction force actually grabbed Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity, making him unable to break free!


    His movement technique was actually unable to be executed.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, turning around to look at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    It was only to see that behind him, an enormous black wheel disc was spinning quietly.


    That terrifying suction force was emitted by precisely this huge wheel disc.


    This wheel disc seemed to be able to devour everything!


    ��Huhu, since you refuse a toast only to drink to a forfeit, then this emperor can only invite you to drink to a forfeit! This is my Dao, the Dao of Devouring! There are already 35,078 people who have died under my Dao of Devouring! Among them include Medicine Ancestor, that old fogey. As long as I devour you, this emperor will be able to corroborate my Dao, and I will reach the realm of Dao Pill!�� Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was still talking with a smile on his face, just like a Maitreya Buddha.


    It was just that his smile became incomparably evil now.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, feeling that his divine soul was actually being sucked over involuntarily.


    What a powerful divine soul power!


    His chaos origin divinity could resist the might of Dao Ancestors and not die, but it was actually unable to resist this terrifying devouring power!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s divine soul was the most powerful divine soul that Ye Yuan had seen so far.


    Ye Yuan felt that even if his divine essence was not as good as the chaos origin divinity, it was also not much worse.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy had devoured too many divine souls and turned them for his own use. This made his divine soul grow to an unimaginable level.


    Coupled with his bizarre and unpredictable power of Great Dao, it actually gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.


    No wonder Medicine Ancestor that fellow would actually die at Lastingjoy��s hands.


    If taken by surprise, how could Medicine Ancestor resist this devouring power?


    If Ye Yuan currently had his complete body, he could split Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy with one sword.


    It was a shame that he was currently of a divine soul body!


    Ye Yuan also did not think that in this Heavenspan World, there was actually still someone who could threaten his chaos origin divinity.


    Rumble ��


    A huge black hand actually reached out of that black disc and grabbed toward Ye Yuan.


    That black hand seemed to have magical powers, crushing Ye Yuan until he was unable to move a muscle all over his body.


    Puchi!


    That black hand suddenly grabbed, plunging directly into Ye Yuan��s divine soul body.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, immediately feeling as if soul force was like floodwaters that broke the dam, flooding out!

 Chapter 2470 - Stuffed to Death!

    ��Tsk tsk, what a delicious divine soul! Simply perfect! Gobbling you up, my strength will likely tower above Dao Ancestors! Hahaha �� What a surprise!��


    Lastingjoy felt that his divine soul was growing at a terrifying speed.


    This sort of growth, even he himself felt afraid!


    That vigorous and powerful soul force made him extremely intoxicated.


    He had devoured countless Great Daos and countless divine souls in his life. However, not once did it feel as good as it did now.


    Ye Yuan��s body was completely controlled by that black hand, unable to move a muscle.


    Lastingjoy��s Great Dao was too bizarre!


    Ye Yuan was frozen there, also secretly panicking in his heart.


    Even when facing the refinement of the Eight Extreme Divinities, he was also not so powerless.


    His chaos origin divinity became more and more illusory, and increasingly dim.


    That enormous disc was like a water pump, extracting his soul force crazily.


    ��Huhu, all of you did not expect that in the end, it was actually me who had the last laugh, right?��


    ��After I absorb your divine soul and corroborate my Great Dao, everyone will submit under my feet!��


    ��Hahaha �� so what if Dao Ancestor? So what if Tian Qing? I want them to become my dogs!��


    ��After enduring patiently for billions of years, I can finally roam this world unhindered in broad daylight!��


    �� ��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy indulged in self-delusion as if already seeing the delight of climbing to the summit of life.


    During the past billions of years of forbearance, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy had long already suppressed his desire to the extreme.


    Now, he attained Dao in one day. This desire erupted crazily.


    In Cloudheart Realm, many people treated him as air.


    Many people thought that Heavenly Emperor Distantbook was Medicine Ancestor��s successor.


    But only he knew that no one could surpass Medicine Ancestor!


    This guy absolutely would not allow others to surpass him.


    From billions of years ago, when he was serving Medicine Ancestor as a servant, he already understood it.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was actually very smart. It was just that in order to not let Medicine Ancestor perceive it, he buried everything.


    Medicine Ancestor was hoodwinked by him for billions of years before finally being devoured by him.


    On his deathbed, Medicine Ancestor also did not dare to believe that this loyal and honest disciple actually killed him.


    Obtaining Medicine Ancestor��s soul and Dao, Lastingjoy��s strength had a qualitative leap.


    It was also precisely because of this that he had this confidence to come and deal with Ye Yuan.


    And Ye Yuan��s divine soul was even more delicious than he imagined.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy let out a burst of wild laughter. But suddenly, his expression changed abruptly.


    Rumble ��


    The black wheel disc actually started to tremble violently.


    At first, it was just a slight tremor.


    But very soon, the shaking became more and more intense.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��This �� What��s going on?��


    Crack �� Crack, crack ��


    As if answering his question, cracks actually started appearing on the black disc.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze also gradually became bright.


    ��Huhu, my divine soul is called chaos origin divinity! Even Tian Qing doesn��t recognize it, showing that my chaos origin divinity is probably not what this world should have! You used this world��s Great Dao to absorb the chaos origin divinity that doesn��t belong to this world. It would be weird if it can bear it!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    He came to understand very quickly where the problem lay.


    The might of the chaos origin divinity was completely not what Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was able to understand.


    His Dao of Devouring was indeed formidable. It was even not much worse than the chaos origin divinity.


    Except, that was just in terms of quantity.


    In terms of quality, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was much worse when compared to the chaos origin divinity!


    Putting it bluntly, the soul force that the black wheel disc absorbed already far surpassed the limit that he could bear!


    The black disc was stuffed to death!


    The Great Dao was about to collapse!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s heart shook wildly. He was stunned by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Chaos origin divinity!


    Not belonging to this world!


    If id did not belong to this world, then why would it appear in this world?


    However, he did not have time to puzzle over this anymore.


    The cracks on the black wheel grew larger and larger, practically almost collapsing.


    But right then, his expression changed wildly.


    An even more turbulent soul force than before poured into the black wheel.


    Rumble ��


    The cracks on the black wheel became more and more, and increasingly larger.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way, injecting his soul force into the black wheel crazily.


    This was equivalent to quenching thirst with a poison; making matters worse.


    ��Damn it! You �� What do you want to do? Stop for me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy roared angrily, wanting to cut off the absorption of Ye Yuan��s divine soul.


    However, it was already too late.


    That black hand was like a pipe.


    Currently, the floodwaters from that end were too strong, he already could not shut the floodgates!


    Ye Yuan��s soul force was too strong!


    Ye Yuan was a little weak, but his soul force could still hold out for a while.


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s appearance, he smiled and said, ��Didn��t you want to devour me? Then I��ll let you devour until it��s enough!��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy finally panicked. The black wheel��s collapse was near at hand, how could he still care about absorbing soul force?


    ��I �� I was wrong! Lord Saint Azure, I��ll return all of the soul force! I �� I beg you, please stop!�� Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy was practically crying.


    Honestly, played with eagles for a lifetime, in the end, got his eye pecked by an eagle!


    It was just that how could he have thought that Ye Yuan��s divine soul was actually so strong?


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Although Medicine Ancestor was obnoxious, he also wouldn��t make people feel like vomiting like you! Someone who betrays their master and forefathers, everyone has the right to punish the person! It��s too late to beg for mercy now!��


    Ye Yuan ignored Lastingjoy��s tearful complaints and instead, injected soul force even more crazily.


    Boom!


    Finally, the black wheel could not hold on anymore, directly crumbling apart!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, his entire person akin to being struck by lightning, falling down.


    This black wheel was closely linked to his divine soul. Now that the wheel disc collapsed, it was equivalent to his Great Dao collapsing.


    His divine soul similarly suffered a devastating blow too!


    The current Ye Yuan also finally heaved a sigh in relief.


    This time, he really had a narrow escape from death.


    He also never dreamed that there was actually still an existence that could pose a threat to him in this Heavenspan World.


    But right at this time, an abnormality occurred again!


    That soul force originally belonged to Ye Yuan. Now that the black wheel disc crumbled, the soul force actually started flowing in reverse, pouring into Ye Yuan��s divine soul body crazily.


    But among these inverse-flows, it was far from as pure as his soul force anymore.


    One scene after another appeared before Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    Inside Ye Yuan��s mind, countless pieces of information crisscrossed.


    Fortunately, his chaos origin divinity was incomparably powerful and was completely able to digest this information.


    These scenes were precisely those lives that Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy devoured.


    Ye Yuan even saw Medicine Ancestor��s memories among them.


    These memories were nothing to Ye Yuan.


    But then these people��s Great Dao fragments poured into Ye Yuan��s divine soul in a rush.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes became brighter and brighter.


    These things were priceless treasures!


    Those able to get devoured by Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy were all some genius characters. Each person had their own unique views on Alchemy Dao.


    This was equivalent to delivering a treasure vault into Ye Yuan��s divine soul!

    Chapter 2471: Disdain to Take!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You��re really mad as a March hare, to actually make a move against so many innocent people!�� Ye Yuan looked at the Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy who was dispirited and inert and said with a cold smile.


    Most of these alchemy path powerhouses had nothing to do with Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    This guy actually dealt killing blows to these people, his crimes were really too numerous to be recorded.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s gaze turned bleak and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��On what basis do I have to be a dog for life? I refuse to give in! I��m �� unwilling! Everyone treated me like a dog next to him! I, this eldest senior apprentice brother, am even less than a third-generation disciple! Hahaha �� those so-called geniuses all deserve death! They are only fit to be the stepping stones on my road of ascent!��


    With death knocking on the door, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy finally spoke up about the unwillingness suppressed in his heart.


    At this time, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy already calmed down.


    He was a clever man and knew that Ye Yuan would never let him off.


    Hence, he did not do some meaningless pleading too.


    .


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy and did not have the slightest pity.


    Pitiable people definitely had detestable aspects.


    Men should improve themselves. Lastingjoy��s ambition was not small. It was just that the method he used was wrong.


    Of course, more importantly, he found the wrong person.


    He never should have come to provoke him.


    ��Any other last words?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy laughed loudly and said, ��Ye Yuan, you saw all those Alchemy Daos that I devoured, right? Hahaha, as long as you draw reference from their Great Dao, with your talent, stepping into the realm of Dao pill will be easily accomplished! This emperor doesn��t have any last words. You��ll carry this emperor��s ambition and �� live on! Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��That��s right. A myriad Great Daos is indeed heart-tingling. It��s just that you��re also looking down on this Ye too much! Do you feel that I really need these to break through to the realm of Dao pill?��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and pulled. A black whirlwind immediately started spinning around Ye Yuan, giving off a series of whimpering sounds.


    Ye Yuan��s body emitted a faint fluorescent light.


    It was only to see him extend his hand and console the black whirlwind lightly. The berserk black whirlwind gradually became quiet.


    The current Ye Yuan was like a divine buddha, expiating the world!


    The black whirlwind was precisely formed by the resentful spirits devoured by Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy.


    Although their divine souls were devoured, a trace of resentment after death still remained.


    Unwilling, refusal to give in!


    The buddha aura on Ye Yuan was like a life-giving spring breeze and rain, warmly nourishing these resentful spirits.


    ��Relax, I won��t use you all to cultivate. If that��s the case, what difference is there between me and him? Alright, all disperse then,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Those resentful spirits all revealed their figures and gave a bow toward Ye Yuan, incredibly grateful.


    In the end, they turned and took a look at the dumbfounded Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy, a trace of release being revealed in their gazes.


    Following that, they turned into motes of fluorescence, dissipating into the world.


    ��Many thanks, Your Excellency, for letting us enter reincarnation!��


    ��Thank you, Your Excellency. This lowly one is endlessly grateful!��


    ��Your Excellency��s grace, this lowly one will engrave it in my heart!��


    �� ��


    One figure after another emerged, bowing to Ye Yuan non-stop.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s black wheel was very terrifying. After being devoured by him, the remnant souls were imprisoned inside forever, unable to escape.


    Ye Yuan freed them and expiated them, making them able to enter samsara.


    This kindness, they had to receive it.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy opened his mouth wide, a look of disbelief on his face.


    He could not imagine that there was actually someone capable of resisting such a temptation!


    With Ye Yuan��s talent, after comprehending these Great Daos, breaking through to the realm of Dao pill would be a breeze to him.


    But he actually gave it up just like that!


    ��You �� You ���� Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy wanted to say something but discovered that he could not say anything.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��There��s no denying, I was indeed rather moved just now. It��s just that using them to cultivate, I, Ye Yuan, am disdainful to do so! You want to use them to ruin my Dao heart. That is truly a little too naive! Moreover �� with my talent, do you think that I need to borrow their strength to step into the realm of Dao pill?��


    When he said these, Ye Yuan exuded powerful self-confidence.


    What Ye Yuan was most proud of had never been Martial Dao, and also not the chaos origin divinity, but Alchemy Dao!


    What supported him to walk step by step until today, was not his martial path talent, but alchemy path talent!


    Back then, he entered Great Dao with Alchemy Dao. That was how he created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    His road to ascension could not do without the support of Alchemy Dao at every step!


    Therefore, he had this confidence.


    Moreover, his current alchemy path realm was only a step away from Dao pill too.


    Stepping into the realm of Dao pill was just a matter of time.


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s complexion was deathly pale. Suddenly, he felt that his conviction had collapsed completely.


    These myriad Great Daos were the essence of his life, where his Great Dao lied.


    He believed that if anyone in the Heavenspan World saw it, they would not be able to resist such temptation.


    But Ye Yuan cast them aside like a pair of worn-out shoes.


    This was the powerful confidence of a true genius!


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled. A figure appeared.


    Medicine Ancestor!


    When Ye Yuan saw Medicine Ancestor, his gaze could not help turning intent too.


    This man who had once stood at the top of the alchemy path, actually ended up in such a plight; lamentable and pitiable.


    Medicine Ancestor looked at Ye Yuan, his expression complicated.


    Finally, he opened his mouth and said, ��Ye Yuan, thank you!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��No need. Our grudge is written off once and for all.��


    Medicine Ancestor nodded his head, but turned to look at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy, and said with a slight sigh, ��Silly boy! You were too anxious! After this old man broke through to the realm of Dao pill, I��ll naturally do all I can for you and help you step into the realm of Dao pill! Sigh!��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy sneered when he heard that and said, ��Stop being pretentious here! I��m merely a dog in your eyes, that��s all! For so many years, you��ve never looked me in the eye before at all! Now, you want to use these sorts of words to make me feel guilty? Heh heh, do you really take me to be a fool?��


    Medicine Ancestor did not care and said coolly, ��Do you think that you could really hide from my eyes when you were doing these things under my eyelids? Also, when you made a move against me in the end, do you think that I really didn��t have the strength to fight back? Also, if I didn��t value you, why did I only take you away during the Cloudheart Realm battle?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s expression became a little unnatural, and he said with a cold smile, ��In your eyes, it��s naturally an old dog that��s most handy to order about! Stop talking nonsense! No matter how glib your tongue in, I won��t believe it too!��


    Medicine Ancestor said, ��Silly child, you��re this old man��s son! Even a tiger wouldn��t eat its own children, why would this old man harm you?��


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� old thing, are you teasing me?��


    Medicine Ancestor said, ��When you were young, you had a maple leaf-shaped birthmark on your abdomen area. You��ll often feel our abdomen heat up and your cultivation speed also far surpasses ordinary people. Later, you and your mother encountered danger, this maple leaf-shaped birthmark let you kill your opponent. But since then, the maple leaf-shaped birthmark disappeared ����


    With each sentence that Medicine Ancestor said, Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy��s expression would change a little, bit by bit.


    No one knew about these secrets!

 Chapter 2472 - Dao Ancestors Joining Forces!

    Ye Yuan who was by the side was also dumbstruck with astonishment from listening.


    These two were actually father and son!


    ��Shut up! I don��t believe you! I don��t believe a single word!�� Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy suddenly roared, trying to interrupt Medicine Ancestor��s words.


    It was just that judging from his reaction, he already believed it.


    Medicine Ancestor did not care, and he continued. He said, ��Your talent was extremely great, but your ambition was also extremely great! In the beginning, this old man took you in as a servant because I wanted to temper your temperament. It��s just that I never thought that you would actually deviate, walking onto the path of devouring. You went to find Wang Pan to compete in alchemy behind my back at Ping Pan City. In the end, you awakened the Dao of Devouring. Ever since then, you started on the path of devouring ����


    ��This old man originally wanted to reconnect with you, but you devoured other people��s Dao. Your mental state gradually became unbalanced. If I reconnected with you, it might trigger even more unpredictable consequences. This old man abandoned you two, mother and son, for the sake of pursuing Great Dao. What this old man owes you, I planned on assisting you to reach the realm of Dao pill after corroborating my Dao, and let you climb to the summit. It��s just a pity, just one final step!��


    ��That instant when you made a move, this old man hesitated for a moment, but then I ultimately still gave up. With your talent, presumably after devouring this old man, you shouldn��t be far away from the last step. It��s just that I didn��t think that you still failed at the last step in the end.��


    Talking up to here, Medicine Ancestor sighed and looked at Ye Yuan.


    Unfortunately, the opponent that Lastingjoy chose was Ye Yuan.


    The eternal Saint Azure!


    Facing this huge temptation, Ye Yuan could actually keep his cool and expiate the remnant souls.


    This bearing was an absolutely unparalleled breadth of spirit, matchless in the world!


    Lastingjoy chose the wrong opponent!


    Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy had long already been beaten by reality until he was incomparably dispirited.


    At this point, even a fool also knew that Medicine Ancestor did not bluff him.


    However, this reality shattered his life conviction into smithereens.


    That person whom he resented immensely, that person that he wanted to kill all his life, was actually the person who loved him the most.


    And he killed this person with his own hands!


    The reality was too cruel.


    While at this time, Medicine Ancestor��s remnant soul started dissipating, becoming motes of fluorescent light.


    Under Ye Yuan��s expiation, his soul had already been cleansed, returning to samsara.


    Time waited for no man. Even if he wanted to reunite with Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy, there was no more time.


    He looked at Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy and said with a sigh, ��Silly boy, if there��s really reincarnation, I hope that we��ll reconvene there!��


    Medicine Ancestor��s divine soul was already shattered. His Great Dao already collapsed. He was already not far from the end of his life.


    Finished talking, Medicine Ancestor��s remnant soul gradually disappeared between heaven and earth.


    The scenes that happened before his eyes made Ye Yuan��s thoughts stir.


    Reaching the realm of chaos origin divinity, Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that these people��s remnant souls did not vanish completely, but they turned into some kind of energy, returning to the world.


    This feeling was exactly the same as in front of his father��s grave back then.


    It was just that what he felt currently was much clearer than at that time.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan discovered that not everyone could return to heaven and earth.


    Only after being free of troubles in one��s heart, settling karma, and having one��s thoughts flow smoothly, could one return to heaven and earth.


    Just like Ji Zhengyang, only all the way until after Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang died did that trace of undulation arise.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan��s eyes became resolute.


    ��Father, if there��s really reincarnation, even if this child tries every means possible, I��ll definitely revive you! You and Mother experienced ordeals and died for me. I must return to you a lifetime of happiness!�� Ye Yuan secretly swore.


    Thud!


    ��Father!�� Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy knelt down and started weeping bitterly in the direction which Medicine Ancestor dissipated.


    At this moment, the guilt in his heart could no longer be hidden.


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh and turned around and left.


    Pfft!


    A powerful energy undulation came from behind. The high and mighty Heavenly Emperor Lastingjoy ended his life just like that.


    �� ��


    True Flame Bodhidharma, Ancestor Fire��s bodhidharma.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were gathered here. A small mountain was suspended in the middle of the nine people quietly, emitting fluctuations that made people feel heart palpitations.


    Even with the combined power of the nine people, they were unable to completely suppress the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s power too.


    Because of the battle with Treasure Pig previously, the entire Origin Enlighten Mountain Range already became a wasteland.


    As a last resort, the few people arrived at True Flame Bodhidharma to study the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain jointly.


    Such a precious treasure, whoever it was put with, others were naturally reluctant to accept it.


    In the end, it could only be the nine people studying it together.


    Finally getting their wish, the joy on the nine people��s faces could not be concealed.


    Having seen Ye Yuan��s talent that dominated the world, how could they not be moved?


    ��There��s not much time. If we keep having mutual suspicions among ourselves, it will only let the divine race prevail! Moreover, Ye Yuan that brat is glaring like a ravening tiger. He can��t be underestimated either! If we can��t improve further, our outcome can only be death!�� Lin Chaotian said with a solemn face.


    Obtaining the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was a massive fortuitous encounter.


    But they also encountered an unprecedented crisis!


    The deterrence that Ye Yuan gave to them was too great.


    Encountering an unkillable opponent, the end result could only be getting killed.


    The joyful looks on the few Dao Ancestors�� faces were reined in, all revealing solemn expressions.


    Suddenly, the pressure was high!


    ��What Brother Chaotian said is right! At this time, we should put aside prejudices and cross the river in the same boat!�� Ancestor Fire said.


    The Dao Ancestors nodded their heads one after another, clearly reaching a consensus about this.


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze fell on the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, his emotion slightly agitated as he said, ��This treasure contains the power of Great Dao, far surpassing us! I didn��t expect that the Heavenspan Mountain actually still has such a valuable treasure! Combining with the nine of our strengths, no matter how lacking, we can also consolidate the power of rules! At that time, even if Heavenly Dao Samara comes, our strength can also be maintained to the greatest extent! As long as we can tide over the Doomsday Battle this time, we��ll have hope of breaking the fetters, and go above the Heavenspan Mountain to take a look at what��s actually there!��


    The words made the eight great Dao Ancestors seethe with excitement.


    How many years had it been? The only place that they wanted to go to was above the Heavenspan Mountain!


    But, no matter how hard they worked, they were unable to cross that barrier.


    This time, the chance finally came!


    ��Brother Chaotian, what do you think we should do? We��ll all listen to you!�� Ancestor Wind said.


    Lin Chaotian nodded slightly and said, ��The Great Dao that this mountain contains is extremely vast. I presume that everyone already has an understanding that our cultivation along the way has many imperfect areas. This Lesser Heavenspan Mountain is like a mirror, illuminating the deficiencies in us clearly.��


    The Dao Ancestors nodded their heads one after another. After they obtained the precious treasure, they had naturally experienced it already.


    What Lin Chaotian said was not the slightest bit wrong. The Great Dao contained in the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain let them have a new understanding of their own cultivation.


    Although Dao Ancestors were powerful, it did not mean that there weren��t any mistakes throughout their cultivation.


    Great Dao was numerous and complicated. Who could truly comprehend it entirely?


    If one could really completely comprehend Dao, they would not be Dao Ancestors but the heaven!


    ��Therefore, we should cooperate with a common effort, and share what we��ve comprehended! Areas we are lacking, everyone studies in detail together. We will comprehend together and also improve together! That brat is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves! Then we��ll slap his face viciously and let him understand that Dao Ancestors can��t be defied! He merely relied on an extraordinary treasure to be able to reach such a boundary!�� Lin Chaotian said loudly.

 Chapter 2473 - The Man on the Same Level as Heaven!

    ��No! It��s still not right! Could it be that the way we��re studying is wrong?�� Ancestor Fire said a little anxiously.


    Dao Ancestor Destruction frowned and said, ��It��s impossible! In terms of comprehending Great Dao, who understands it better than us?��


    Ancestor Lightning said, ��It��s really strange! What method did Ye Yuan use to comprehend the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain? In what way is his approach being completely different from ours?��


    The few great Dao Ancestors spoke up one after another, all feeling rather agitated and fretful.


    They had already studied the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain for close to three years�� time.


    Without a doubt, each of their strengths had increased greatly.


    It was just that, it had not met their requirements yet.


    Studying according to this method could certainly increase their strength and consolidate their realm.


    But there was no hope of wanting to break the fetters of Dao Ancestor at all!��


    These few years, they mutually shared the things that they had understood, discussing with each other.


    But the results yielded were negligible.


    Their objective was to break the shackles of Dao Ancestor.


    It was just that no matter how they cultivated, that shackle was still locking them tightly, not letting them break through.


    This sort of feeling made them feel despair.


    They even compared their cultivation comprehensions with Ye Yuan��s cultivation method and martial techniques.


    As a result, the more they compared, the more bitterly disappointed they were.


    The strength and potential that Ye Yuan displayed was completely not what they could hold a candle to!


    In the end, the conclusion that they got was that �� Ye Yuan was different from them!


    It was just that they racked their brains and also could not figure out just what was different.


    Lin Chaotian was silent. No one knew what he was thinking about either.


    The nine of them were the Heavenspan World��s strongest nine people, and also the nine people who understood Heavenly Dao most profoundly.


    Logically speaking, having obtained such a priceless treasure, the things that they comprehended should also be beyond other people��s capacity.


    But sadly, they still could not reach Ye Yuan��s height.


    No matter how they studied, it would not work!


    When Ancestor Fire saw that Lin Chaotian did not speak, he could not resist asking, ��Brother Chaotian, say something!��


    Only then did Lin Chaotian slowly say, ��I think that it might be the way that we��re comprehending is wrong!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s eyes lit up.


    ��Oh? Then how should we comprehend?�� Ancestor Fire said with a look of excitement.


    ��Go to Heavenspan Mountain!�� Lin Chaotian said.


    �� ��


    In a blink of an eye, another three years passed. Above a million miles up on Heavenspan Mountain, the nine great Dao Ancestors were very dispirited.


    A feeling called sense of defeat spread out among the nine people.


    ��Damn it! Just where does the problem lie?��


    ��The Heavenspan Mountain and Lesser Heavenspan Mountain mutually corroborate and reference each other, but why can��t we find the way to break through yet?��


    ��God damn it! This ancestor can seemingly see Ye Yuan��s mocking laugh!��


    �� ��


    The expressions of the few Dao Ancestors were very ugly.


    That mocking smile when Ye Yuan left seemed to be dangling in front of them.


    Ye Yuan had said this before more than once. Even if he gave the treasure to them, it was useless too!


    They all could not comprehend it!


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were outstanding talents of the present era, figures standing at the summit. How proud were they?


    Hence, they naturally did not believe it!


    They thought that Ye Yuan being able to have today��s accomplishments, it was him relying entirely on the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.


    But now, reality slapped their faces fiercely.


    They really could not comprehend it!


    Combining the power of the nine great Dao Ancestors and they still could not comprehend it too!


    After six years of hard work, they could not find a trace of clue!


    Breaking the shackles was far away and not within the foreseeable future.


    The reality was so cruel.


    Lin Chaotian��s brows were tightly locked when he suddenly said, ��Ye Yuan this guy indeed makes people unable to figure out! But did you all notice, when he broke through to Deva Realm, he actually didn��t transcend the Deva blight tribulation! This sort of thing is too inconceivable!��


    Ancestor Water��s intelligence was second only to Lin Chaotian.


    Seeing Lin Chaotian talk about it, he nodded and said, ��Originally, we all thought that he relied on the power of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. That��s how he shielded from the Deva blight tribulation! But looking at it now, it wasn��t the case!��


    Lin Chaotian nodded and said, ��That��s right! I also used to think so. But thinking about it carefully now, it doesn��t seem to be the case!��


    The two people chimed in one after another, Ancestor Fire said rather impatiently, ��Then you guys say, just where does the problem lie?��


    The two people said in unison, ��Cultivation method!��


    The group of Dao Ancestors was stunned, uncertain what it meant.


    In terms of cultivation method, who in this world could compare to the few of them?


    Moreover, what kind of cultivation method could avoid the Deva blight tribulation?


    ��I say, the two of you, stop leaving us hanging and hurry it up!�� Ancestor Fire said.


    Lin Chaotian��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Studying the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain these few years, I faintly have a feeling that Ye Yuan might have comprehended an astonishing cultivation method from it! This set of cultivation methods might be on the same level as heaven! Hence, that��s how he could avoid the Deva blight tribulation!��


    The more Lin Chaotian talked, the more shocked everyone was.


    It was only to see him continue explaining it. He said, ��Do you all still remember what I said, the Heavenspan Mountain cast a projection back then and the spiritual energy revived? I always thought that that was a precious treasure coming into existence. That��s why that kind of phenomenon appeared! But thinking back on it now, that isn��t the case at all! It should be Ye Yuan comprehended successfully a set of cultivation methods back then, alarming Heavenly Dao. That��s why such a phenomenon would descend! There should exist some kind of connection between the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain and Heavenspan Mountain. Back then, the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain should have been refined by him, stirring the Heavenspan Mountain. That��s why it made spiritual energy revive!��


    ��Therefore, we were wrong from the start! The crux of the problem doesn��t lie with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain at all, but on the person who comprehended the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!��


    When the group of Dao Ancestors heard this analysis, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    They really wanted to find a reason to refute it, but they discovered that they could not find it at all!


    What Lin Chaotian said made too much sense!


    Ancestor Fire said unhappily, ��Based on what? He could comprehend a cultivation method, so can��t we do it? Combining the nine of our strengths, can it be that we still can��t create an astonishing cultivation method?��


    Lin Chaotian shook his head and said, ��Comprehending a cultivation method isn��t hard! With the few of our capabilities, comprehending eight or ten top cultivation methods from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain is very easy! It��s just that wanting to comprehend a cultivation method that��s on the same level as heaven is as hard as ascending to heaven! I can confirm that Ye Yuan is absolutely not the first person who obtained the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. But he��s the only one who can create such a terrifying cultivation method! I��m afraid that even if the cultivation method that Ye Yuan created is placed in front of us, we might not be able to fully comprehend it too! Hence, that��s why he handed the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain over so readily. Because he��s confident that even if the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain is handed over to us, it��s impossible for us to surpass him too!��


    Talking until the back, Lin Chaotian��s words actually exuded some bitterness.


    Several years of hard work made him become increasingly conscious of his insignificance.


    Dao Ancestors were very strong, but also very weak!


    In front of Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestors were too weak!


    But Ye Yuan was a man on the same level as heaven!


    This sense of setback was too strong.


    The Dao Ancestors were extremely shocked, being not quite able to accept this fact.


    Combining the powers of nine great Dao Ancestors actually could not beat a single Ye Yuan?


    This sort of thing was truly hard to accept to the high and mighty Dao Ancestors.


    ��Damn it! We have to think of a way to find him and force him to hand over the cultivation method!�� Ancestor Fire gritted his teeth and said.


    Lin Chaotian looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh and said, ��Too late! His wings have already formed now! Wanting to capture him is simply impossible!��

 Chapter 2474 - A Feeling Called Despair!

    ��This �� Then with the current situation, isn��t it that we can only wait for death?�� Ancestor Fire��s expression changed slightly as he said.


    Lin Chaotian said, ��Not necessarily! No matter how great his talent is, wanting to take this last step is also not an easy thing! Our strengths have made considerable improvements during these few years. If he really wants to deal with the few of us, I��m afraid that it��s not enough yet! Therefore, what we have to do now is to strengthen ourselves!��


    The group of Dao Ancestors had dispirited faces. They, as Dao Ancestors, roamed the world unhindered.


    Now, they were actually forced into such a situation by someone!


    But the nine people did not dare to slacken their efforts. In the remaining days, they comprehended Heavenly Dao desperately, strengthening themselves.


    �� ��


    Four years later, on one fine day, heaven and earth suddenly changed.


    The wind swept the clouds away. The mountains cried out and the sea howled, lightning flashed and thunder clapped.


    It was as if the end of the world had arrived for the Heavenspan World.


    The powerhouses were all extremely terrified.


    This kind of heavenly might, they had never experienced it before.


    On Heavenspan Mountain, one silhouette after another flew out.


    They were kicked out by the Heavenspan Mountain!


    ��What happened? Why did the Heavenspan Mountain not allow cultivation anymore?��


    ��Heavenly Dao Samsara! This must be Heavenly Dao Samsara! I didn��t expect that it would arrive so quickly!��


    ��This �� What to do about it? Once Heavenly Dao Samsara begins, the power of rule on Dao Ancestors will be taken back by Heavenly Dao. What can we do to resist the divine race?��


    �� ��


    On Heavenspan Mountain, spiritual energy was vast and mighty.


    But a powerful force blocked everyone out.


    Currently, Heavenspan Mountain already became a forbidden land. There were people being thrown out continuously.


    Those who were thrown out in the beginning were all some weaklings.


    Following that, those who were thrown out got stronger and stronger.


    Until the back, there were even quite a number of Deva Realm powerhouses who were squeezed out of Heavenspan Mountain against their will.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several more figures were thrown out of Heavenspan Mountain one after another.


    The moment these people appeared, it immediately caused a stir.


    ��It��s the nine great Dao Ancestors! They were forced out too!��


    ��Their auras are a bit chaotic. Could it be that their power of rule has already been taken back?��


    ��But it feels like their aura doesn��t seem to have been affected much!��


    ��Heh, don��t you all know that they took away that precious treasure from Saint Azure? I reckon that this time, they gained a big advantage! In terms of shamelessness, I concede to the few of them!��


    �� ��


    Seeing the Dao Ancestors appeared, it did not arouse the respect of the strong, but rather, a large wave of scornful voices.


    That day when Ye Yuan mobilized the aura of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, the world already knew the truth long ago.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors borrowed the name of humanity��s righteous cause to do filthy things and forced Saint Azure away.


    This matter was despised by the world!


    Azure Saint exhausted his mind and body for the human race until his heart ceased to beat.


    In the end, what he got was actually such a treatment. The people were indignant at the unfairness!


    Saint Azure fought on the frontline, but these Dao Ancestors stabbed him in the back.


    This way of doing things ruined their favorable impression.


    If not for their strength being too strong, they would probably have been swarmed to death by people.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the power of flames burst forth, dyeing half the sky red.


    A group of powerhouses directly turned to scattering ashes!


    ��Whoever keeps being noisy, this is the outcome!�� Ancestor Fire said with a cold gaze.


    How could they not hear these people��s comments?


    Ancestor Fire��s fuse was the shortest. He actually directly went on a killing spree!


    The moment he raged, sure enough, no one dared to speak anymore.


    Except, those powerhouses were all indignant at the unfairness, glaring angrily.


    Dared to be angry but did not dare to speak!


    When dealing with the divine race, they did not see these few Dao Ancestors showing their faces.


    But when dealing with their own people, they killed readily!


    With a wave of a hand, there were probably thousands of powerhouses that fell!


    It could be seen that in the eyes of the few great Dao Ancestors, they were merely a bunch of ants.


    Lin Chaotian furrowed his brows, but in the end, he did not speak.


    Just earlier, Heavenly Dao took back the power of rules.


    The nine of them were already no longer Dao Ancestors now!


    But, because of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, the nine of their strength did not weaken by a lot.


    During these ten years, the nine of them made great progress, especially in terms of cultivation methods. They remolded their cultivation methods and greatly improved their strength.


    At present, they had practically already reached the limit that human beings could attain!


    Apart from being unable to break the shackles!


    Therefore, even though Heavenly Dao was transmigrating, their strength did not decline too much.


    ��Hahaha �� These Dao Ancestors are really amazing! Attacking their own people, they actually didn��t show any mercy!�� Right at this time, a burst of hearty laughter reverberated throughout heaven and earth.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    One figure after another stepped out of the sky, each one having an extremely powerful aura.


    The expressions of the human powerhouses changed wildly. These powerful auras crushed them until they were virtually unable to breathe.


    ��Divine race! It��s the divine race!��


    ��W-What powerful auras! C-Could it be that they are the legendary progenitors?��


    ��Really so strong! Is it possible that humanity��s doomsday is arriving?��


    �� ��


    These powerhouses that came were precisely members of the divine race!


    And the one talking was Tian Qing!


    The expressions of the human powerhouses changed one after another. They were shocked by the progenitors�� powerful auras.


    This was a peerlessly domineering aura. Tian Qing��s might made people unable to look him in the eye.


    The eight great progenitors�� auras virtually covered the entire horizon.


    When they appeared, it astounded the entire era!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, ��Being disrespectful to Dao Ancestors, don��t they deserve to die?��


    Tian Qing laughed loudly and said, ��Don��t give me that! You don��t think that this progenitor doesn��t know about the Heavenspan World��s affairs because I��m in the Abyss World, right? Huhu, this progenitor is very grateful to you all, for driving Ye Yuan away!��


    Lin Chaotian��s face turned black. This guy was really skilled with words!


    Rubbing their noses in it!


    Lin Chaotian said in a cold voice, ��Why? Does Progenitor Tian Qing think that with the few of us having the power of Heavenly Dao taken back, you��ll be able to take advantage of people? Huhu, since that��s the case, bring it on!��


    But Tian Qing did not have the intention of taking action. He still had a beam on his face as he said, ��This progenitor knows that you all obtained a precious treasure from Ye Yuan there! However, you all didn��t seem to have broken the shackles! What a pity, what a pity! Do you all think that having obtained a precious treasure, you��ll be able to stop this progenitor?��


    Lin Chaotian said in a deep voice, ��Although this ancestor didn��t break the shackles, but �� I don��t fear you either!��


    Tian Qing was calm and composed, and said with his hands behind his back, ��Is that so? Hoho, Little Li, show yourself and let them take a look at our divine race��s true strength!��


    The moment his voice faded, a beautiful figure stepped out of the sky.


    That beautiful figure was beautiful until she could topple kingdoms, and that the moon hid its face and flowers blushed in shame!


    Who could it be if not Yue Mengli?


    It was just that the current Yue Mengli was different again from that time when Ye Yuan saw her!


    Her aura was actually not the slightest bit weaker when compared to Tian Qing!


    One had to know, among the eight great progenitors, Tian Qing��s aura could be said to outshine the others, overwhelming everyone.


    Now, Yue Mengli��s aura was actually not weaker than Tian Qing!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed wildly, a look of shock on his face.


    A feeling called despair spread in everyone��s heart!

 Chapter 2475 - Boundless Moonlight, Limitless Samsara!

    The current Yue Mengli was noble and glamorous, overlooking the world. She was akin to a fairy maiden who came down to the mortal world.


    Her aura was already completely different.


    That sort of nobility added a little more mystery to Yue Mengli��s peerless looks.


    ��What a beautiful woman! Who is she? Doesn��t the divine race only has eight great progenitors? Why is there an additional woman?��


    ��I heard that Saint Azure Ye Yuan��s beloved fell into the divine race. Furthermore, her talent is extremely high! Could that be her?��


    ��Won��t be wrong! Back then, when Saint Azure confronted her, many people saw it with their own eyes. But at that time, her strength was far less powerful than it is now, right?��


    �� ��


    The human powerhouses were discussing animatedly, guessing Yue Mengli��s identity very quickly.


    This matter was already well-known and not considered a secret. It was not too hard to guess.


    It was just that no one expected that Yue Mengli��s strength would actually reach the level of a progenitor!


    If it were nine-versus-nine, could the human Dao Ancestors who lost the augmentation of Heavenly Dao still be the divine race��s match?


    She took a step out and said to Lin Chaotian coolly, ��I��ve long heard that Dao Ancestor Life is the human race��s number one Dao Ancestor. This girl is incapable and seeks guidance!��


    One sentence shocked everyone until they could not close their mouths.


    Yue Mengli��s coming-into-being battle, she actually directly chose the strongest Dao Ancestor Life!


    Lin Chaotian was also stunned, then immediately laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Little girl, your arrogance is indeed carved out of the same mold as Ye Yuan! It��s just that, did you pick the wrong opponent?��


    Yue Mengli said coolly, ��That��s right, it��s you! Come on!��


    Lin Chaotian snorted coldly and said, ��Since you��re courting death yourself, then Ye Yuan can��t blame this ancestor too!��


    Powerful wood-attribute rule instantly bloomed.


    A terrifying spiritual energy undulation actually divided the mighty storm, opening up a vacuum zone.


    Lin Chaotian��s might could actually rival heaven��s might!


    This kind of means was truly formidable.


    ��Myriad Swords Facing the Sky!��


    Lin Chaotian gave a low cry, spiritual energy vast and mighty.


    In an instant, countless barbs actually grew out of the earth.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Countless barbs rose from the ground up and shot toward Yue Mengli.


    For a time, the sky was full of dense barbs, sealing off all of Yue Mengli��s escape routes.


    These barbs did not seem to have the cutting edge of blades and swords, but places that they passed through actually cut the space apart.


    The entire sky seemed to have countless gaps cut out.


    When the human powerhouses saw this scene, they could not help revealing slightly hopeful gazes.


    Although they were very unhappy with Lin Chaotian, in the face of such a Doomsday Battle, they naturally stood on humanity��s side without prior agreement.


    ��Is this Dao Ancestor Life��s strength? Even if it��s Heavenly Dao Samsara, it also didn��t really affect his strength!��


    ��Heh, the divine race��s wishful thinking fell through!��


    ��Finish the divine race off!��


    �� ��


    Facing such terrifying power, Yue Mengli��s expression still did not change.


    It was only to see her eyes flickered. Her bright red lips opened slightly.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Martial, Boundless Moonlight!��


    A layer of white gauze suddenly fell on the world, seemingly beautiful and cold.


    Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes. The place where Yue Mengli was standing, actually became Lin Chaotian in a flash!


    Those countless barbs actually all stabbed toward him.


    Lin Chaotian��s pupils constricted, all the hair on his body standing on end.


    He actually did not even know how he was switched over here!


    Except, he already did not have time to think too much. Those barbs had already come over.


    He hurriedly urged his spell, the barbs that filled the sky instantly turned into nothing, as if they had never appeared before.


    Lin Chaotian had a solemn look, looking at the Yue Mengli not far away.


    This woman gave him an extremely strange feeling.


    He was a Dao Ancestor and actually had his position swapped by Yue Mengli unknowingly!


    This sort of means was truly inconceivable!


    Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    It was just that Yue Mengli did not give everyone the time to be shocked.


    One Dao mark after another rose up from his body!


    One!


    Two!


    �� ��


    Ten!


    When Lin Chaotian saw this scene, his pupils shrank, and he immediately drew a breath of cold air.


    Not just him, the nine great Dao Ancestors were all extremely shocked at this time.


    ��Ten-marks Heavenly Dao Realm! This �� How is this possible? Two Ten-marks Heavenly Dao Realm powerhouses actually appeared in the divine race!�� Lin Chaotian cried out in surprise.


    Over on humanity��s side, they directly burst into an uproar.


    No one expected that this woman was actually a legendary Ten-marks powerhouse!


    Tian Qing was a Ten-marks powerhouse!


    This kind of supreme existence, there were actually two that appeared all of a sudden!


    ��Ten-marks powerhouses possess the ability to connect to heaven and penetrate the earth, undying and imperishable!��


    ��Back then, Grand Ancestor Spacetime fused the two great supreme laws and was unable to do anything to Tian Qing, a Ten-marks powerhouse! Now, another Ten-marks powerhouse appeared in the divine race!��


    ��This �� Does heaven want to doom our human race?��


    �� ��


    At this very moment, the human powerhouses really despaired.


    A single Tian Qing already left them at a loss on what to do.


    Now, there was actually another Yue Mengli!


    One had to know, Tian Qing severely wounded three great Dao Ancestors with his power alone!


    With two Tian Qings, that was equivalent to having six Dao Ancestors!


    Then these remaining progenitors, who was going to deal with them?


    The moment Yue Mengli debuted, it already pushed humanity to the brink of defeat!


    ��Damn it! Really damn it! That pig around Saint Azure is also a rule powerhouse. Its strength is even stronger than a Dao Ancestor! If not for this bunch of damn guys who offended Saint Azure to the core, he would definitely step forward!��


    ��Sad! Lamentable! Lord Saint Azure must have had his heart turn cold now already, right?��


    In the midst of despair, people always tried to find hope.


    Naturally, they thought of Treasure Pig. They even thought of Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    If these two rule powerhouses came forward, it could definitely salvage humanity��s declining trend.


    It was just that among these two mighty rule powerhouses, Sacred Ancestor High Priest was duped into refining pills by Lin Chaotian, who then failed to make good on his promise. The other, the Treasure Pig, was jointly pursued by Dao Ancestors.


    Saint Azure was also forced to hand over the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain!


    If not, with Saint Azure��s strength, he might already be able to deal with progenitor powerhouses now!


    It was just a pity that both sides were already in the situation of being irreconcilable till death!


    ��Boundless Moonlight, Limitless Samsara!�� Right at this time, Yue Mengli��s scarlet lips opened again.


    Two round moons reflected in the pupil of her eye.


    A white gauze lightly enveloped heaven and earth.


    Lin Chaotian��s entire body trembled as if he had arrived at another region of time and space.


    Heaven and earth were peaceful.


    The noisy figures had already disappeared.


    Even the other eight great Dao Ancestors had gone missing too.


    Opposite, Yue Mengli stood in the air, expressionless.


    Lin Chaotian��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��Lass, you want to trap this ancestor by using this method? You��re also a little too naive!��


    Yue Mengli said coolly, ��This is the Moonlight Dreamland. Enjoy it well!��


    Finished saying, her figure moved, disappearing.


    A strange atmosphere reverberated in this space.


    At the outside world, the corners of Tian Qing��s mouth smiled slightly, and he said, ��Huhu, Boundless Moonlight, Limitless Samsara; this is probably the strongest ocular art since time immemorial! Getting caught inside is getting caught in limitless samsara! You clearly know that it��s an illusory realm, but you cannot control yourself at all! Even this progenitor also needs to expend tremendous effort before I can break free. This Lin Chaotian will probably have to suffer a lot! Take advantage of this time! Everyone, attack together and finish off the others!��

 Chapter 2476 - One-Man-Show!

    The power of moonlight enveloped heaven and earth.


    Those who were weak were already long unable to control themselves already, getting caught in an illusory realm and being unable to extricate themselves.


    This was limitless samsara!


    Although Yue Mengli��s move was not unleashed against them.


    Only by reaching Deva Realm and above could one barely avoid being dragged into samsara.


    This move was too horrifying!


    ��What powerful ocular arts! She clearly only cast the spell against Dao Ancestor Life alone, but her power of moonlight affected everyone present!��


    ��Ten-marks Heavenly Dao Realm, it��s actually even this kind of extremely strong ocular art! Our human race is really doomed this time!��


    ��I didn��t expect that the moment Heavenly Dao Samsara starts, is the moment when our human race collapses!��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of those Deva powerhouses was incomparably in despair. The strength that Yue Mengli exhibited made them lose all hope.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors�� strongest Dao Ancestor Life was directly controlled by the illusory realm.


    Then of those remaining, who could be Tian Qing��s match?


    Back then, the 18 grand ancestors failed just one step short of success!


    ��Brother Chaotian, quickly wake up!�� Ancestor Fire and the rest were very anxious when they saw the situation, utilizing various means, attempting to call Lin Chaotian back.


    But it was completely useless.


    Lin Chaotian stood there straight as a ramrod, motionless.


    They immediately realized how terrifying this ocular technique was.


    ��Huhu, it��s no use! Even if this progenitor gets hit by this move, I can forget about escaping without ten days to half a month too! If the Heavenly Dao True Martial of a Ten-marks powerhouse is so easily broken, then this progenitor would also be too useless as the divine race��s number one person!�� Tian Qing said with a light smile.


    Before this, Ten-marks powerhouse, there was only him alone in the divine race.


    His might was indisputable!


    Now, Yue Mengli squeezed into the ranks of Ten-marks. Displaying her Heavenly Dao True Martial, the power was naturally terrifying.


    Ancestor Fire said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! So what? Tian Qing, you��re also looking down on the few of us too much!��


    Tian Qing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You��re right! This progenitor really does look down on the few of you! Dao Ancestors? Have you all forgotten? This progenitor was �� also a Dao Ancestor in the past! How much capability you all have, would this progenitor not know?��


    The expressions of Ancestor Fire and the rest were ugly to the extreme.


    In front of the eight great progenitors, they really did not have any capital to be proud of.


    If not for having obtained the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, they would not even have the courage to fight.


    Now, Dao Ancestor Life was trapped. They really could not see any chances of victory.


    At this time, Tian Qing finally reined in his expression and said coolly, ��Kill!��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Seven lineage��s progenitors as well as the Heaven Lineage��s Tian Xing, eight people rushed forward together!


    A powerful to the extreme pressure crushed them until everyone could not breathe.


    This was a progenitor-level battle!


    Although Tian Xin was just the Heaven Lineage��s number two person, his strength when compared to the eight lineages�� progenitors was about the same too.


    It was already enough to deal with a Dao Ancestor with diminished strength.


    With 16 astonishing auras rising up to the sky, it caused everyone��s expressions to change wildly.


    Those Deva Realm powerhouses had long already hidden themselves far away.


    But on the scene, there were still tens of thousands of human powerhouses who were caught in the illusion.


    The moment the great battle started, they would die without a burial ground.


    It was just that at this time, there was already no one who cared about them anymore.


    Tian Qing stood calmly with his hands behind his back, clearly an appearance of watching a show.


    The current situation might not need him to take the stage at all.


    Of course, he did not lower his guard!


    With Yue Mengli attaining Dao Ancestor, the divine race came into being once more. The person that he was most worried about was not the nine great Dao Ancestors but Yue Mengli!


    He knew that with the divine race coming into being, Ye Yuan absolutely would not be willing to take things lying down!


    However, he did not care about it a lot. With Yue Mengli this trump card around, Ye Yuan could not stir up any waves either.


    Both sides were all set for a showdown, the auras astonishing, looking as if they were about to clash.


    Right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    In the dark night, a white figure rose into the sky, heading straight for the clouds.


    Crack!


    Crack! Crack!


    Immediately, lightning flashed and thunder clapped!


    That figure rose steadily up, flying higher and higher.


    The lightning in the sky also became more and more terrifying.


    Terrifying Heavenly Dao pressure overshadowed these 16 supreme powerhouses very quickly.


    The entire sky was thrown into upheaval by that figure.


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted and he exclaimed, ��It��s Ye Yuan! What �� does he want to do?��


    Over on the human race��s side, cries of surprise also linked up together.


    ��It��s Lord Saint Azure!��


    ��What does he want to do? There��s extermination lightning above the sky! Does he want to commit suicide?��


    ��It��s dangerous up in the sky, but the spiritual energy there is also the thickest! He �� He wouldn��t be thinking of breaking through there, right?��


    �� ��


    Above the sky, was a forbidden area to all martial artists.


    The higher up, the more dangerous it was.


    Even with the might of a Dao Ancestor, one could only soar over a million miles.


    If one exceeded this height, they would be killed by extermination lightning!


    That white figure was none other than precisely Ye Yuan!


    His figure went higher and higher, reaching several hundred thousand miles in a blink of an eye.


    However, he did not stop but went higher and higher instead.


    Currently, it was precisely during Heavenly Dao Samsara, Heavenly Dao was in disorder.


    Ye Yuan reaching this height already aroused Heavenly Dao��s chaos.


    Above the void, extermination lightning was already eager to make trouble.


    Crack!


    Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the void, swift to the extreme.


    Including Tian Qing, everyone��s expressions changed abruptly.


    ��This lunatic! Quickly retreat!��


    Tian Qing gave a loud roar and did not have time to think too much, directly dashing away.


    The expressions of the seven great progenitors, as well as the eight great Dao Ancestors, changed one after another too, hurriedly retreating.


    Lin Chaotian��s entire body trembled, and he actually broke free from the illusion.


    This bolt of shocking lightning actually broke Yue Mengli��s Boundless Moonlight!


    Yue Mengli also revealed her figure, her aura slightly chaotic.


    When they saw that dreadful lightning dragon, their expressions changed wildly, hurriedly retreating.


    Fighting at this time was tantamount to seeking death.


    Who knew where that wildly dancing electric snake would land.


    As long as you touched it, you would be dead.


    Those human powerhouses were also startled awake, retreating one after another.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan arrived above one million miles.


    Here, spiritual energy was extremely abundant. Every pore on his body opened up.


    That was right! He was here to break through.


    Feeling Heavenly Dao Samsara, spiritual energy surging wildly, Ye Yuan knew that this was the best time for him to break through!


    The great battle of the divine race��s progenitors and the Dao Ancestors was about to start. Once the battle started, the people would surely be plunged into misery and suffering.


    Ye Yuan��s power alone was unable to stop them.


    Then he might as well trigger the power of Heavenly Dao!


    Being in the midst of a breakthrough, it would stop this grand battle!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s divine sea seemed to have directly opened up the watergate, letting spiritual energy flow in crazily.


    These ten years, Ye Yuan already broke through to the realm of Dao pill.


    The act of repairing divine sea and meridians was already not considered a difficult task to him.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    The crazed electric snake wandered around him fitfully.


    But he did not care!


    Ye Yuan released soul force, wrapping his entire body up.


    Boom!


    Lightning fell. Ye Yuan��s divine soul trembled. He was actually completely unscathed!


    Chaos origin divinity was fearsomely powerful!


    Everyone looked at this scene dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape, shocked speechless.


    What was originally an astonishing great battle earlier now became Ye Yuan��s one-man show!

 Chapter 2477 - You Can Come and Give It a Try!

    Chapter 2477: You Can Come and Give It a Try!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Just what kind of realm did this guy��s divine soul reach? Even extermination lightning actually can��t harm him?�� Ancestor Fire opened his mouth wide and said with a shocked face.


    ��He really is a crazy fellow! He never takes the usual path when breaking through realms!�� Lin Chaotian said with an ugly expression.


    While Tian Qing��s brows furrowed slightly and he said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��Really damn it! He��s making use of extermination lightning to temper his fleshy body, and break through the divine essence realm at the same time! This guy��s monstrousness is really unreasonable!��


    Apart from Ye Yuan, no one dared to play like this.


    The high and mighty Dao Ancestors could not; he, a Ten-marks powerhouse, similarly could not.


    Extermination lightning, capable of destroying everything!


    Even though they were paramount existences, in front of heavenly might, they were still incomparably insignificant.


    The expressions on the faces of the groups of old ancestors were incomparably complicated, completely unable to describe their current feelings.


    An earth-shattering great battle that had already been planned for a long time, was disrupted just like that!


    .


    Over on humanity��s side, they all let out a long sigh in relief.


    Just now, if not for Ye Yuan��s timely appearance, all those present who were under Deva Realm would probably have died off.


    The area that a Dao Ancestor-level battle covered was too vast. It was not what they could resist at all.


    Let alone that they were even hit by the ocular art, and got caught in an illusion.


    ��Lord Tian Qing, what should we do now?�� Profound Lineage��s progenitor, Originsmile, said with a frown.


    Tian Qing mused for a moment and said, ��I really want to see what level his strength will reach after he breaks through! We��ve waited far too long for this war. We can��t just give up!��


    The few progenitors also nodded their heads slightly.


    Making them give up just like this and return to the abyss, that was impossible!


    Furthermore, they currently possessed two great Ten-marks powerhouses. Their strength already could not be mentioned in the same breath long ago, there was no need to fear anyone.


    Boom!


    Crack!


    Wind, rain, lightning, and thunder, crisscrossed.


    Ye Yuan was situated inside, glimmering and fading indeterminately.


    That appearance was like a small rowboat in a tsunami.


    It was just that no matter how big the storm was, he stood firm as a rock!


    His fleshy body realm and divine essence realm were advancing frenziedly.


    To him, the divine essence required for breaking through one cultivation realm now was too vast.


    Cultivating according to the normal routine, he would only be able to cultivate the Creation Realm to the realm of grand completion after God knows how long.


    But this Heavenly Dao Samsara created an opportunity for him.


    ��Heh, the chaos origin divinity is really useful! Although I still haven��t figured out what it is, without a doubt, it��s very strong!�� Ye Yuan said gleefully.


    Judging from the shock of that mysterious voice, the chaos origin divinity was not an ordinary thing too.


    Looking at it now, not only was the chaos origin divinity undying and imperishable, it could even withstand extermination lightning.


    The extermination lightning that even Dao Ancestors and Ten-marks powerhouses avoided like the plague, he faced it calmly.


    Furthermore, he did not go all out. He deliberately leaked a trace of extermination lightning power, and he used it to temper his physical body.


    With the extermination lightning��s power, using it to temper the physical body was most suitable.


    Ye Yuan��s physical body had long already transcended the ninth nirvanic tribulation, reaching the level of perfect ninth transformation.


    But after reaching the ninth transformation, his progress became extremely slow.


    Because there were virtually no treasures capable of enhancing his physical strength anymore.


    Now, with the tempering of the extermination lightning, the strength of his physical body gradually reached grand completion.


    His strength was growing rapidly.


    Earth-shaking changes were also occurring to Ye Yuan��s chaos world.


    The sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers gradually became real.


    When the nine great Dao Ancestors saw this scene, their gazes revealed extremely envious looks.


    Especially Lin Chaotian, he was incredibly jealous.


    He expended so much thought to acquire the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. In the end, it was all for naught!


    ��Just what kind of cultivation method did this guy comprehend? The commotion of his breakthrough is a little too big, right?!�� Ancestor Fire said in a solemn voice.


    The commotion of Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was seriously too great.


    Even above the ninth heaven, that powerful pressure made everyone��s hearts shocked too.


    ��I really don��t know what kind of cultivation method can make world power so solid! I have a feeling that this is the key to him being different from us! He doesn��t need to transcend the tribulation!�� Lin Chaotian said in a solemn voice.


    No matter how Lin Chaotian racked his brain, he also could not imagine that Ye Yuan relied on his own comprehension ability. He forcibly created a small world that was comparable to the Heavenspan World!


    Hence, they could only be envious.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan��s aura finally climbed to the peak, and it could not increase anymore.


    At this point, his Chaos Heavenspan Canon was finally cultivated to the realm of grand completion!


    Ye Yuan did not have any clues about the next realm.


    He had devoted himself to studying the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain before but did not have the slightest clue.


    It seemed like everything ended here.


    But Ye Yuan had a feeling that his cultivation method should be able to break through to a higher realm.


    Ye Yuan examined his own small world. Everything was already created completely.


    A great world had already taken shape!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said to himself, ��My world is missing something! Yes, although my world is powerful, it doesn��t have the slightest lease of life! No flowers, grass, and trees; without birds and animals, let alone cultivating martial artists. Even if a martial artist is in my world, they wouldn��t be able to cultivate too! But how should I let it have a myriad of lives?��


    Ye Yuan felt that this was the key to his breakthrough to the next realm.


    It was just that he did not know where the problem was.


    Creating a world was not saying that if God wanted light, there would be light.


    If it were so simple, Ye Yuan also would not have walked with so much difficulty.


    Although the time that he cultivated was not long, the things that he experienced, ordinary people simply could not imagine it.


    Not talking about other things, just the comprehension of the Chaos Heavenspan Canon was not what ordinary people could understand.


    ��When other martial artists cultivate, as long as they reach Divine Lord Realm, they will be able to form a small world and can derive life. But it doesn��t seem to work for my world! While it��s strong, it��s missing something!�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    ��Forget it. Take it one step at a time. My power of laws isn��t perfected yet. After I reach the realm of rule, I should be able to do whatever I want in the Heavenspan World!��


    After the chaos world had finished evolving completely, his strength also reached an inconceivable level.


    Ordinary Deva Fifth Blights were utterly not worth mentioning in front of him.


    Only Dao Ancestors relying on the power of rule could have a battle with him.


    Ye Yuan took a step out and directly returned to the surface of the earth.


    He looked at Tian Qing from afar and said in a cold voice, ��Tian Qing, I don��t have objections about your divine race wanting to return to the Heavenspan World! But if you all dare to inflict living things with great suffering or want to continue enslaving the myriad races, this Ye will definitely kill you with my own hands!��


    With him saying these words, it was equivalent to protecting the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    Although Ye Yuan was full of unhappiness with these few guys, they could not die yet.


    Without them, the myriad races would lose their support.


    His current strength was still not enough to overwhelm the divine race.


    But it was enough to make the divine race dread him!


    However, Ye Yuan��s words were arrogant to the extreme.


    Personally killing the divine race��s number one person, only Ye Yuan dared to say these words.


    Sure enough, Tian Qing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, it depends on whether or not you have the qualifications to say this!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, ��You can come and give it a try to see whether I have the qualifications to say this or not!��

 Chapter 2478 - Strongest Since Ancient Times!

    ��Originsmile, you go and play with him!�� Tian Qing said coolly.


    He had precisely the intention of probing Ye Yuan��s strength and naturally chimed in easily.


    Tian Qing could tell that Ye Yuan��s power of laws was not at perfection and did not reach the realm of rule.


    Although the commotion that Ye Yuan caused was huge, he did not think that Ye Yuan had the capital to pose a threat to him.


    His dread toward Ye Yuan was primarily still because of Ye Yuan��s bizarre movement technique.


    An unkillable opponent was clearly the most difficult to deal with.


    However, it was also merely limited to being difficult to deal with.


    This kind of dread was relative.


    He was wary of Ye Yuan killing people. But was Ye Yuan not apprehensive of him killing people?


    It was just that this scene was akin to a bolt out of the blue in the view of the others.


    Ye Yuan��s current realm could at best be regarded as Deva Fifth Blight.


    Deva Fifth Blight challenging the divine race��s progenitor?


    You got to be kidding!


    The divine race��s progenitors were all Nine-marks grand completion realm. Coupled with the divine race��s Heavenly Dao True Martial, their strengths were comparable to that of Dao Ancestors!


    It was real Dao Ancestors, and not Dao Ancestors after Heavenly Dao Samsara.


    Right now, Ye Yuan was actually going to challenge a Dao Ancestor level powerhouse? Wasn��t this nonsense?


    Originsmile voiced his acknowledgment, took a step out, and looked at Ye Yuan as he said with a smile, ��Ye Yuan, if you reached the realm of rule and became a Grand Ancestor, this progenitor would still fear you somewhat. It��s just that right now �� you��d best tuck your tail between your legs and run! In a frontal confrontation, you��re not this progenitor��s match.��


    Divine race progenitors, each one was a super powerhouse that shook heaven and startled the earth.


    The Doomsday Battle back then, only Grand Ancestor Spacetime could faintly overpower them.


    The others had to band together before they had the power to fight.


    But in the end, it was also all the outcome of perishing and Dao dissipating.


    They naturally had absolute confidence.


    Below rules, they would not look someone in the eye at all.


    Not even Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said coolly, ��If bragging is useful, then still cultivate for what? Moving your lips are enough!��


    Originsmile was taken aback and said, ��Fine lad, then this progenitor will measure just how much capability you have!��


    Boom!


    The moment Originsmile��s aura was released, nine sturdy Dao marks revolved around him.


    His every action and movement actually carried the might of Heavenly Dao!


    This was the divine race!


    Swoosh!


    It was only to see Originsmile��s figure flashed, already arriving in front of Ye Yuan in an instant.


    A fist smashed over; the void trembled!


    Boundless strength completely locked Ye Yuan down.


    Even when separated by an extremely far distance, the piercing cold fist wind still howled until people��s cheeks hurt.


    Without any flashy martial technique, this punch was Great Dao simplified to the utmost!


    The first time a divine race progenitor showed his strength in front of the world, it shocked all sides!


    ��Hiss �� Is this the strength of the divine race��s progenitors? Really too terrifying!��


    ��I finally understand why that war ten billion years ago was called Doomsday Battle. Such horrifying power is virtually world-destroying!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is still lacking a bit of skill level! If he can reach the realm of rule, he should be able to have a battle with the divine race��s progenitors, right?��


    ��But it��s fine. With that bizarre movement technique of Lord Saint Azure��s, the divine race��s progenitor can��t hurt him!��


    �� ��


    The great battle previously was disrupted by Ye Yuan.


    Although the human powerhouses were shocked earlier, now the shock they experienced became even greater after directly watching this scene now.


    Originsmile��s strength erupted completely, shocking the world!


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan would avoid the sharp edge.


    This level of power, apart from Dao Ancestor, no one could block it at all.


    But in the next instant, an unexpected scene occurred.


    Ye Yuan gave a roar. The sound of a dragon roar rose to the sky!


    This dragon roar shocked until everyone��s eardrums hurt, shocking until heaven and earth rippled!


    It was only to see him stomp his feet and similarly slam a punch out.


    A head-on clash!


    Quicker than words could tell.


    With their movement power, it was merely a matter of an instant.


    Everyone did not react to it yet and these two people already clashed.


    Rumble!


    Terrifying energy undulations rippled out crazily.


    Those who were weak were directly sent flying.


    Fortunately, they were far enough away such that they would not be killed by this air billow.


    Tian Qing extended his sleeves and flicked lightly, swiping this force away.


    It was just that a shocked expression showed on his face.


    This blow was evenly matched!


    ��What terrifying physical power! Grand completion Nine Transformations Golden Body is what no one could achieve since ancient times!�� Tian Qing said in a solemn voice.


    By the side, Tian Xing said in shock, ��Nine cycles of nirvanic tribulation, nine life-and-death samsara. Ordinary people can��t even imagine the price that��s paid. The ninth transformation nirvanic tribulation is a hundred times even more terrifying than Deva Fifth Blight! Even powerhouses who have transcended the eighth transformation nirvanic tribulation don��t dare to transcend the ninth transformation nirvanic tribulation too! Really don��t know how he pulled through!��


    Tian Qing nodded and said, ��The world only sees his amazing talent, but overlooked his astonishing will! This is the most terrifying thing about Ye Yuan!��


    Originsmile��s divine sea churned. He was also shocked by Ye Yuan��s strike.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan would be able to stand up to him as an equal just by relying on the power of the physical body.


    ��Is this the strength of the legendary divine race progenitors? Merely thus! Are you really not using Heavenly Dao True Martial?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Originsmile��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said, ��Grand completion Nine Transformations Golden Body, the power of a primeval dragon! It turns out that your physical body has already reached the realm of a primeval dragon! Furthermore, you��re probably the strongest one out of primeval dragons! Grand completion Nine Transformations Golden Body has never happened since ancient times!��


    ��What?! The power of a primeval dragon! Strongest primeval dragon! Doesn��t that mean that Ye Yuan already reached the realm of Grand Ancestor in terms of physical body?�� Ancestor Fire said in shock.


    Lin Chaotian nodded slightly and said, ��Extermination lightning tempering the body stimulated all of his potential! Ninth transformation nirvanic tribulation, even if it��s successive primeval dragons, no one dared to cross it too! Not only did Ye Yuan transcend this tribulation, he even tempered his physical body to the extreme! His strength likely isn��t inferior to you all already!��


    Ancestor Water frowned and said, ��I��ve also heard before that the eight great supreme demon clans all have inheritance methods for perfect ninth transformation. It��s just that successive samsara progenitors could only all transcend the eighth transformation nirvanic tribulation, and were unable to transcend the ninth transformation nirvanic tribulation! Those who attempted to cross the tribulation all died! I didn��t expect that Ye Yuan could actually complete the ninth transformation nirvanic tribulation!��


    Before this, no one would care about Ye Yuan��s physical strength.


    Ye Yuan��s might was firstly because of his strange movement technique. Secondly, it was because of his law fusion that set the world on fire.


    But currently, when Ye Yuan punched out, the world was shocked!


    His physical strength had reached an unprecedented realm!


    Reaching the realm of a primeval dragon was already reaching the realm of a Grand Ancestor.


    Now, Ye Yuan was even grand completion Nine Transformations Golden Body, becoming the strongest primeval dragon. His strength was already unimaginable.


    Hence, that was how he was able to be evenly matched with Originsmile!


    ��I underestimated you! You indeed have the qualifications to fight with this progenitor! Since that��s the case, you��re worthy of me, this progenitor, showing my Heavenly Dao True Martial!��


    Originsmile stomped his feet, the might of Heavenly Dao suddenly descended.


    Nine Dao marks bloomed with a dazzling light.


    However, nothing changed about Originsmile.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly grim, his expression also became solemn.


    No change was maybe even more terrifying than changes!


    Although he reached the realm of a primeval dragon, each of these divine race progenitors was an old monster who had lived for countless billions of years. None of them were easy to deal with!

 Chapter 2479 - Three Progenitors Battling Saint Azure!

    Boom!


    Originsmile��s speed was inconceivably swift. In a blink, it was another punch!


    The confrontation this time was evenly matched again.


    On humanity��s side, the group of Dao Ancestors was puzzled.


    What kind of Heavenly Dao True Martial was this? It was totally useless!


    Continue fighting at this rate, even if they punched a hole in the sky, it could not determine the victor too, no?


    ��Heh, this Profound Lineage��s progenitor is a fake! His Heavenly Dao True Martial is actually completely useless!��


    ��Since Saint Azure reached the realm of a Grand Ancestor. So how can this bit of attack power do anything to him?��


    ��This guy is here to play a fool, right?��


    �� ��


    On humanity��s side, everyone revealed contemptuous looks.


    Of course, Originsmile was very powerful.


    But they were no longer worried about Ye Yuan. Because he already reached the realm of Grand Ancestor. Furthermore, he was even the strongest primeval dragon.


    This degree of attack could no longer hurt him.


    It was just that a hint of an imperceptible slight smile flashed across the corners of Tian Qing��s mouth.


    Boom!


    Originsmile did not stop, throwing another heavy punch.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed greatly. His figure retreated immediately.


    This punch just now actually gave him an overwhelming pressure!


    Originsmile��s movements were unbelievably swift. He threw a punch again, not giving Ye Yuan a chance to catch his breath at all.


    One punch after another!


    The expression on everyone��s faces finally changed.


    They discovered that something was amiss very quickly. Ye Yuan could not hold out more and more in front of Originsmile.


    Bang!


    Finally, Ye Yuan could not bear it, spurting a mouthful of fresh blood wildly. He flew away.


    Tian Qing smiled and said, ��Among the divine race��s progenitors, which one isn��t a veteran of a hundred battles? Heavenly Dao True Martial, Thousand Martial Myriad Catties! With each punch thrown, the power is five times the previous punch! Stacking it up, the power will be extremely terrifying! Having Originsmile unleash more than a dozen punches in a row, even this progenitor will get seriously injured too! This bunch of fools actually ridiculed Originsmile for being a fake? Who gave them the courage?��


    Over on humanity��s side, the expressions of the group of Dao Ancestors changed abruptly.


    This Heavenly Dao True Martial sounded average and looked even more ordinary.


    But it was actually unbelievably terrifying!


    One had to know, Originsmile��s one punch already possessed incredibly terrifying power in itself.


    Wanting to withstand this punch was extremely difficult to begin with.


    That kind of fist clashing, only Ye Yuan this strongest primeval dragon dared to do it.


    How could the other Dao Ancestors dare to clash like that?


    Wanting to deal with this move, unless it was winning with one move, or you could avoid all of his attacks.


    Except, against a powerhouse standing at the summit of the Heavenspan World, how difficult was it to achieve this?


    Therefore, this move had virtually no flaws!


    To continue fighting with Originsmile, the more the other party fought, the stronger he got. There was no solution at all!


    Originsmile stood in the air and said smilingly, ��This trick can��t do anything to you. But it��s still not your turn to come and be arrogant in front of this progenitor yet! Your threat is no threat! This Heavenspan World is our divine race��s!��


    He said could not do anything was because he knew Ye Yuan��s strange movement technique.


    But, if Ye Yuan really wanted to threaten them, he needed to bring out sufficient strength, and defeat them head-on!


    Without sufficient strength, his threat appeared laughable.


    Ye Yuan stabilized his figure, wiped away the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, and said with a grin, ��Is that so? You��ve already used your Heavenly Dao True Martial, but I haven��t made a move yet!��


    The current Ye Yuan still had extremely exuberant blood vitality, like he had not gotten injured at all.


    Originsmile could not help criticizing in his heart, secretly scolding freak.


    Grand completion Nine Transformations Golden Body was too terrifying!


    Even if a Dao Ancestor took this punch of his, it was also impossible to be like Ye Yuan; completely fine.


    However, his face was still very calm and he said, ��It��s no use. This move of mine, Thousand Martial Myriad Catties, unless you have absolute strength, otherwise, it has no counter! Back then, your human race had three Grand Ancestors who died under this move!��


    Ye Yuan��s smile reined in, a cold light flashing in his eyes.


    The 18 grand ancestors were like his disciples, but they all died at the hands of the disciples.


    Now, Originsmile actually had a smug appearance. How could Ye Yuan not be angry?


    It was only to hear a cold laugh. He said, ��Is that so? Then take a look at whether you can block it or not!��


    Ye Yuan pressed his palms together, causing an astonishing dragon might to rise up to the sky.


    Rumble ��


    The astounding dragon might desired to compete with heaven��s might!


    Originsmile��s expression instantly changed wildly.


    This pressure gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.


    At the same time, there was also Tian Qing as well as the divine race��s various lineages�� progenitors whose expressions changed.


    ��This move, could it be �� Nine Dragons Descending Upon the World?�� Beside Tian Qing, a progenitor said in surprise.


    Tian Qing nodded slightly, his expression solemn as he said, ��Won��t be wrong! It��s that move! The previous generation primeval dragon��s strength was lacking and could only summon three true dragon spirits. But it already caused considerable problems for us. Looking at Ye Yuan��s power �� there��s likely no less than six!��


    His voice had yet to fade when three golden true dragon spirits flew out from the horizon, traversing indeterminately amidst the strong wind and rain.


    ��Roar!��


    The three true dragon spirits rushed toward Originsmile frenziedly under Ye Yuan��s guidance.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The three true dragon spirits bared their fangs and brandished their claws, clashing together with Originsmile.


    These three true dragon spirits, each one had Grand Ancestor level strength!


    Three dragons teaming up actually directly suppressed Originsmile.


    Originsmile��s Thousand Martial Myriad Catties was unable to link up at all.


    For a time, the battle fell into a stalemate.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s hand movements changed irregularly, and palms faced the sky.


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    Another three true dragon spirits flew out, heading straight for Originsmile.


    Tian Qing��s expression changed wildly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Yi Feng, you go and help him!��


    Yi Feng was the Yellow Lineage��s progenitor!


    Yi Feng did not say a word, directly joining the battle.


    However, the six true dragon spirits overlaying together was not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    These six true dragon spirits, each one had a different attribute.


    Attacking together, the power multiplied!


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he said, ��This guy is really unreasonable monstrous! If we wait for him to step into the realm of rule, this progenitor won��t be able to do anything to him either!��


    Suddenly, his expression changed again, and he cried out in surprise, ��A se-seventh one! Hiss �� This guy!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan��s seals change again. The seventh true dragon spirit stepped out of the sky.


    With seven true dragon spirits joining forces, they forced the two great progenitors into a fluster, practically without the strength to fight back!


    Over on humanity��s side, everyone was stunned!


    Suddenly, a group of powerhouses arrived with a howl. Seeing this scene, one could not help laughing excitedly as he said, ��Hahaha �� it��s the primeval dragon��s supreme innate divine ability, Nine Dragons Descending Upon the World! His Excellency is actually able to summon seven true dragon spirits! He��s really my Dragon Clan��s strongest through the ages!��


    The arrival was precisely Long Yi. With him, there were Bai Chen and the rest.


    When Long Yi saw the scene of seven dragons battling two progenitors, he yelled excitedly.


    Nine Dragons Descending Upon the World!


    However, when casting this move, what each generation of primeval dragon could achieve was different.


    But in the records of the Dragon Clan, the most was also just five true dragon spirits.


    Ye Yuan actually summoned seven at once!


    Suddenly, his expression changed and he cried out in surprise, ��T-The eighth!��


    It was only to see another true dragon spirit tunnel out of the void, heading straight for the battlefield.


    Tian Qing��s entire body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Damn it! This progenitor doesn��t believe that you can still summon nine true dragon spirits! Bo Yi, you go too!��

 Chapter 2480 - This Was What You Said!

    With three great progenitors taking action at the same time, the power was truly heaven-shocking.


    The spectacular sight of the Doomsday Battle was virtually being put on show again.


    Furthermore, Bo Yi��s strength was second only to Tian Qing in the entire divine race!


    His addition turned the tide of the battle all at once.


    Even with the eighth true dragon spirit, it was also counter-pressured by the three great progenitors.


    The three great progenitors activated their Heavenly Dao True Martials, forcing until the eight true dragon spirits were unable to get close.


    At this moment, the might of the divine race��s progenitors were displayed in its entirety.


    However, what was even more shocking was still Ye Yuan!


    Ancestor Fire opened his mouth wide and said with a look of shock, ��This �� This is also too monstrous, right? He actually forcefully resisted three great divine race progenitors with his power alone? This is him not entering the realm of rule yet. If he reached the realm of rule, with his fused rule coupled with this kind of earth-shaking physical strength, who can still be his match?��


    Lin Chaotian frowned and said, ��To us, it��s a calamity! Not a blessing!��


    Lin Chaotian��s expression flickered incessantly, not knowing whether to be happy or to be sad.


    Concerning Ye Yuan threatening the divine race with his power alone, they naturally welcomed it.


    But he similarly knew that his enmity with Ye Yuan was big!


    The stronger Ye Yuan��s strength was, the harder he would find it to eat and sleep.


    But the other human powerhouses did not have their worries.


    Each and every one of them danced for joy, seeing the hope of new life!


    Ye Yuan��s strength forcibly hurled them out of despair.


    ��Lord Saint Azure is mighty!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is overwhelming, suppressing the divine race!��


    ��Hahaha �� Lord Saint Azure, it really blinded my dog eyes! With your strength, how can you possibly lose to the divine race?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s prestige was exceedingly high in the human race to begin with.


    Currently, he made a grand display of invincible might, fighting three progenitors by himself. It exerted this glory to the extreme even more.


    The human race powerhouses, regardless of whether male, female, old, or young, their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan was like looking at a divine buddha!


    Currently, Ye Yuan was no longer a person in their hearts, but a totem!


    They firmly believed that Ye Yuan would lead them to victory!


    But at this time, sweat also oozed out of Ye Yuan��s forehead slightly.


    Summoning eight true dragon spirits, the burden was still too heavy to him!


    However, his hand-seal changed again!


    Seeing this scene, Tian Qing��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in surprise, ��Damn it, this brat wouldn��t really be summoning nine true dragon spirits, right?��


    His voice had yet to fade when there was a violent shaking in the void.


    A golden dragon head slowly extended out.


    As if feeling the appearance of the ninth true dragon spirit, the other eight actually increased greatly in strength and launched a counteroffensive frenziedly.


    Long Yi as the Dragon Clan��s highest chief almost jumped up in agitation.


    ��The ninth true dragon spirit! This is a scene that surpasses the ancients and amazes the contemporaries! Nine dragons arriving simultaneously, invincible under the heavens! Once the ninth true dragon spirit arrives, what does Tian Qing count as? My dragon race clan will be able to suppress the divine race!�� Long Yi was agitated until his entire body trembled.


    This scene was seriously too soul-stirring.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s complexion became paler and paler, appearing rather strained.


    The ninth true dragon spirit was not like before, it came out very slowly.


    But with every little bit that the true dragon spirit came out, the strength of these eight true dragons would rise by a level!


    Their strength was skyrocketing!


    Originally, three great progenitors already suppressed the eight true dragon spirits.


    But now, both sides were already equally matched in strength!


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted, he was also startled by this scene.


    Looking at this stance, if the ninth true dragon spirit really came out, it would probably really suppress even him too!


    He sucked in a cold breath, his expression ugly as he said, ��This brat is without an end!��


    He shouted crazily in his heart, don��t come out, don��t come out!


    If Ye Yuan summoned the ninth true dragon spirit out now, then it would really be over for the divine race.


    But the ninth true dragon spirit was still slowly coming out.


    Before long, the three progenitors were suppressed by the eight true dragons again, without the slightest strength to fight back.


    However, right at this time, all of a sudden, Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his seal directly being interrupted.


    The ninth true dragon spirit directly dissipated without a trace with a bang.


    The trembling of the void finally stopped.


    Ye Yuan��s breath being interrupted, those eight true dragon spirits were also unable to maintain their figures, roaring a few times in the air. They finally disappeared without a trace.


    Over on humanity��s side, there was a uniform sigh.


    ��Sigh! Just a little, just missing one last bit! A pity! What a shame!�� Long Yi smacked his thigh and said with endless regrets.


    Nine dragons arriving simultaneously, shaking the heavens and startling the earth!


    This kind of spectacular and sacred scene, it was missing just a bit more!


    Originsmile, Yi Feng, Bo Yi, three great progenitors, all had disorderly breathing, looking at Ye Yuan with incomparable shock.


    They never dreamed that they would actually be forced into such a state.


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, he secretly sighed in relief at his good fortune.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan��s blood vitality power was not enough to summon the ninth true dragon spirit.


    Otherwise, they would really have to head back home.


    Ye Yuan gasped heavily for air, his entire person dead-tired.


    He practically drained his blood vitality empty in order to summon the nine true dragon spirits.


    Becoming weak at this time made sense too.


    But right then, a punk shadow flashed and landed below Ye Yuan��s body, and propped him up, putting him on its back.


    Grunt! Grunt!


    This ink figure was precisely Treasure Pig!


    Treasure Pig��s appearance also made Tian Qing��s expression change.


    He already heard that this pig could rival two great Dao Ancestors, its strength fearsome!


    There was still such a powerful existence by Ye Yuan��s side.


    Ye Yuan leaned on Treasure Pig, looked at Tian Qing from afar, and said coolly, ��Tian Qing, I wonder if my threat is considered a threat or not? You also know that I haven��t stepped into the realm of rule yet! After I reach the realm of rule, how much confidence do you have in dealing with me?��


    Tian Qing��s expression was very ugly, he was actually threatened by someone!


    He, Tian Qing, battled through the nine heavens and ten earths. Even when he encountered Grand Ancestor Spacetime, that kind of peerless character, he also fought until he perished, his Dao dissipating.


    But today, he was actually being threatened by someone!


    But he knew that what Ye Yuan said was not wrong at all!


    The Heavenspan World��s myriad races, no one could enter his arcane sights.


    Even Dao Ancestor Life, Lin Chaotian, could not as well!


    He only dreaded one person. That person was Ye Yuan!


    If it were before, Ye Yuan��s threat would naturally have been nothing.


    But now, Ye Yuan battled three great progenitors by himself. This potential was too terrifying.


    After Ye Yuan stepped into the realm of rule, coupled with such a formidable to the extreme physical body, he could simply be rated as invincible.


    The most important thing was that Ye Yuan could not be killed!


    This threat was a real threat!


    Tian Qing fell silent!


    Over on humanity��s side, all of the powerhouses had invigorated expressions on their faces.


    Something that even the nine great Dao Ancestors could not accomplish, Ye Yuan did it!


    He forced the divine race��s number one person, Tian Qing, to hesitate with his astonishing strength!


    After a long time, Tian Qing��s gaze turned sullen and he said, ��The divine race can enter the Heavenspan World! This was what you said!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said with a nod, ��I said it! To the east of Heavenspan Mountain, it belongs to the human race! To the west of Heavenspan Mountain, it belongs to the divine race!��

 Chapter 2481 - Heavenspan Token

    Dividing a mountain and ruling!


    This matter was decided just like that.


    What Ye Yuan said represented the attitude of the myriad races.


    No one refuted it!


    Even Lin Chaotian and the rest of the nine great Dao Ancestors did not dare to refute it either.


    Refuting it would mean that they would be facing the divine race!


    Concerning the might of the divine race��s progenitors, they already had a profound experience. No one would be stupid.


    Disregarding other things, just talking about the two great Ten-marks powerhouses, they were not what the human race could deal with.


    Of course, none of these mattered.


    The important thing was that the Doomsday Battle did not need to be fought anymore!


    Ye Yuan suppressed the all-powerful divine race that possessed two mighty Ten-marks powerhouses with his power alone!


    No earth-shaking great battle!


    No abyss of suffering!


    The divine race accumulated for ten billion years to stage a comeback. How colossal was the momentum?


    However, Ye Yuan destroyed the army first, and then he suppressed progenitors afterward, averting a war that would obliterate heaven and decimate the earth to nothing.


    Such achievements surpassed the ancients and amazed the contemporaries!


    After this battle, the divine race went on a large-scale migration and entered the Heavenspan World.


    The myriad races also issued a strict order to immediately withdraw from the west of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    An unprecedented grand migration unfolded in the Heavenspan World.


    But to the vast majority of the martial artists, not fighting a war was naturally the best.


    The world of martial artists was full of slaughter. But this kind of Doomsday Battle was a little too cruel.


    Under such a war, even if your strength was immensely formidable, you would ultimately be cannon fodder.


    Back then, how powerful were humanity��s 18 Grand Ancestors? But in the end, they turned to dust too.


    Once the Doomsday War started, it would be equivalent to a meat grinder. Even if many powerhouses were not willing to get involved, it was inevitable to be affected too.


    Therefore, within the human territories, they were practically all talking about Ye Yuan��s great achievements.


    Talking about information, it was naturally Bao Inquire who was the most well-informed.


    Currently, Bao Inquire was already surrounded by a large group of Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, inquiring from him about the beginning and end of the human and divine war.


    Bao Inquire had a look of exultation, recounting the scene of Ye Yuan battling three great progenitors by himself.


    His eloquence was good too, talking like it happened to him personally.


    All around him, the Heavenly Emperors listened with intoxication.


    Talking until the exciting parts, Bao Inquire himself was also very excited.


    ��That ninth true dragon spirit struggled to free itself bit by bit. You all can��t imagine the expression of the divine race��s Progenitor Tian Qing. It was wonderful! He wished to rush forward and crush that ninth true dragon spirit! The eight true dragon spirits got stronger and stronger, and the three great progenitors were looking like they were giving out!�� Bao Inquire said with a look of exultation.


    A Heavenly Emperor by the side said nervously, ��Then �� Then after that?��


    Actually, the Heavenly Emperors present already knew the outcome long ago.


    In the end, the ninth true dragon spirit collapsed and did not appear.


    But the atmosphere was already built up to this point. They seemed to have already forgotten about the result, and they were only following the plot.


    After all, a human battling three great progenitors by himself, no one was able to imagine this sort of thing before this at all.


    Nine great Dao Ancestors being able to defeat a progenitor one-on-one was already something very impressive.


    In reality, it was simply impossible for them to be a progenitor��s match.


    Regarding this point, everyone was clear in their hearts too.


    But Ye Yuan battled three great progenitors by himself. Just thinking about it made people feel their hearts leap.


    Let alone that he nearly defeated three great progenitors!


    Bao Inquire let out a sigh and said, ��Unfortunately! Right at this time, Lord Saint Azure��s blood vitality was depleted, and the ninth true dragon dissipated. But you all don��t know something. If Lord Saint Azure could really summon the ninth true dragon spirit, the divine race might not even have gotten half of this world currently! You didn��t see back then when Lord Saint Azure gave a cold laugh and asked Progenitor Tian Qing whether he had the qualification to threaten him or not. Progenitor Tian Qing hurriedly retorted saying that the divine race can enter the Heavenspan World; saying that this was what Ye Yuan said earlier! That expression was fearful of Lord Saint Azure going back on his word! Hahaha �� Feels really invigorating!��


    ��Yeah! Really feels f*cking awesome!��


    ��Don��t the divine race call themselves the messengers of heaven all day long, invincible under the heavens? Lord Saint Azure really slapped their faces resoundingly!��


    ��Isn��t that so! If they are the messengers of heaven, then as the human race��s representative, Lord Saint Azure is heaven! Hahaha ����


    �� ��


    The group of Heavenly Emperors all had excited looks on their faces, feeling honored.


    Ever since the divine race came into being, the secrets of history were dug up bit by bit. Virtually all of the human powerhouses were living in the shadow of the divine race.


    The might of the divine race made them unable to breathe.


    Today, they finally felt exaltation upon fulfillment!


    It was Saint Azure who gave them the chance to walk with their heads held high!


    But Bao Inquire reined in his expression and said with great veneration, ��Lord Saint Azure��s achievements are worthy of all of us to remember! Although he��s already respected as a grand ancestor powerhouse, he��s completely different from those nine old thieves! He has compassion for all life, and he��s truly fighting for the human race! Even during that war, he didn��t forget to warn the divine race to not harm the innocent! If not for him, we��d have already become the divine race��s slaves now, and be doomed for all of eternity!��


    The Heavenly Emperors felt the same way, nodding their heads one after another.


    Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were indeed the Heavenspan World��s supreme powerhouses.


    But in front of Doomsday Battles, in front of this kind of Doomsday Battle, Heavenly Emperors were too insignificant.


    Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses were the world��s real masters!


    They already surpassed the level of ordinary martial artists and would not care about the life and death of ordinary people at all.


    But Ye Yuan was different!


    His actions made these Heavenly Emperors feel respect!


    That was right! It was respect!


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s level, he completely did not need to care about the life and death of ordinary martial artists.


    But he still fought for all living things!


    He did not bemoan the state of the universe and pity the fate of mankind, but in front of the cardinal principles of righteousness, he would never give in!


    ��Lord Saint Azure is well-deserving of being a man of great talent and virtue through the ages! If it was me, being framed by the nine great Dao Ancestors and being spurned by numerous people, I��d never have stepped forward!��


    ��That��s right! Lord Saint Azure is a saint! He doesn��t refrain from killing, but he also doesn��t kill innocent people indiscriminately. In front of the principle of right and wrong, he proceeds without hesitation!��


    ��Yeah! Lord Saint Azure created the legend of the human race! His achievements illuminate through the ages. He is really worthy of all of us admiring him!��


    �� ��


    Talking up to here, these Heavenly Emperors all expressed admiration from the bottom of their hearts.


    Actually, before this battle, many people had already lost hope.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors offended Ye Yuan to the core.


    Their shamelessness had no lower limit at all.


    But in the end, Ye Yuan still stepped forward and overturned the raging tides.


    Just as they were chatting idly, a massive ripple suddenly set off in the direction of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    A series of comets flew out from the Heavenspan Mountain, tore across the horizon, and flew to each corner of the Heavenspan World.


    A powerhouse said in surprise, ��Mn? What happened to the Heavenspan Mountain again?��


    ��Ever since Heavenly Dao Samsara, the Heavenspan Mountain couldn��t be entered anymore. Now, I don��t know what��s happening.��


    Bao Inquire��s gaze flickered and he said, ��Heh heh, looking at this appearance, it should be the Heavenspan Token! The Doomsday Battle has just subsided; I��m afraid that �� another sanguinary slaughter is about to be set off again!��


    The gazes of the Heavenly Emperors turned intent and they asked, ��What��s this Heavenspan Token for?��


    Bao Inquire smiled and said, ��You all should not think much about it! This thing is a calamity. It is not a blessing for you guys! Without Deva Fourth or Fifth Blight strength, better don��t think about it!��

 Chapter 2482 - Conjecture!

    ��What��s the Heavenspan Token?�� Ye Yuan asked with a curious face.


    The appearance of the Heavenspan Token made the entire Heavenspan World seethe with excitement again.


    Currently, the outside world was already in chaos.


    Each Deva Realm powerhouse was mobilizing the Heavenly Emperors and Empyreans under them to go out and search for the Heavenspan Tokens, stirring up a sanguinary slaughter.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said, ��Heavenspan Token is the key to enter the Heavenspan Mountain during Heavenly Dao Samsara! Only with it can one have the qualification to contest for the qualifications of a Dao Ancestor, and then dominate the next samsara!��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization!


    After the war, he attempted to enter the Heavenspan Mountain.


    But upon reaching the borders of the Heavenspan Mountain, he was pushed away by a powerful force.


    Even a powerhouse like him was unable to resist it.


    This was heaven��s might, mortals could not resist it!


    ��Presumably, those few are already raring to move out, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Those few that he spoke of were naturally referring to the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    The nine of them had been in control of the Heavenspan World for an epoch, how could they be willing to submit to others?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled and said, ��That��s of course! In reality, they have already prepared for a very long time! Right now, the nest has long already been cast, right? With their ten billion years of management, obtaining a Heavenspan Token is naturally nothing difficult. But this time, if they want to obtain the position of Dao Ancestor again, it would likely not be so easy anymore. Furthermore, attaining the position of Dao Ancestor also doesn��t rely on just strength only. Luck is very important too.��


    The last Heavenly Dao Samsara, the divine race��s progenitors were already beaten down by the 18 grand ancestors until they did not have the strength to fight back, that was how they had the opportunity to take advantage of.


    This time, the divine race��s progenitors have all returned, they would naturally join in the fight for Dao Ancestor qualifications.


    It would naturally be doubly difficult for the few of them to want to become Dao Ancestors again.


    ��Oh? Why do you say that?�� Ye Yuan asked out of curiosity.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said, ��The Heavenspan Mountain��s area is extremely vast. Where the rule crystal appears, nobody knows either. Furthermore, even if you obtain it, you might not be able to become a Dao Ancestor either! Back then, Dao Ancestor Light was the weakest among them, being only Deva Second Blight. But the powerhouses competing for the rule crystals all died out in the end. But he slipped through and became Dao Ancestor Light. Therefore, he��s also the weakest one among Dao Ancestors.��


    Ye Yuan could not help being secretly tongue-tied when he heard it.


    A Deva Second Blight actually obtained a rule crystal. This luck was insane.


    But this time, the divine race would also join in the contending army.


    Furthermore, the Dao Ancestors who retired this time, each of them was shockingly powerful.


    The competition would surely be even fiercer.


    Although luck was very important, strength was more important.


    With so many Grand Ancestor-level powerhouses joining in, it was obvious that the weaker ones had even small chances.


    ��Ye Yuan, during this Heavenly Dao Samsara, you must win and return with the position of Dao Ancestor! Only by becoming a Dao Ancestor can you suppress the divine race, and make them not dare to behave wildly! Of course, those few guys, we��ll avenge grievances if there are any, and take revenge if there are grudges!��


    The shamelessness of the few Dao Ancestors also disgusted him badly.


    He was filled with displeasure towards those few.


    ��Dao Ancestor? Huhu, I��m definitely going to the Heavenspan Mountain. It��s just that this status of Dao Ancestor �� I don��t have any interest in it.�� Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a laugh.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s expression changed and he said, ��Ye Yuan, this isn��t the time to decline out of modesty! With your strength, coupled with a rule crystal, you��ll absolutely become the number one Dao Ancestor! Without you, the human race wouldn��t be able to suppress the divine race too. Just based on the few of them, they aren��t qualified enough at all! On the divine race��s side, once they become Dao Ancestors, their strength will become unimaginably strong!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��I have my own path. I don��t need the enhancement of rule crystals! Furthermore, don��t you feel that this Heavenspan World �� is like a giant cage, imprisoning everyone here?��


    Talking up to here, Ye Yuan lifted his head to look at the sky, his gaze revealing a complicated look.


    At present, Ye Yuan was practically already standing at the very summit of the Heavenspan World.


    The scenery before his eyes was already completely different.


    Lin Chaotian they all would lament about what was above the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Then how could Ye Yuan not be filled with vicissitudes of emotion?


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    Could it be that the thing Lin Chaotian they all worried about would actually come true?


    Ye Yuan would break the shackles and become an existence above Dao Ancestors?


    But how was this possible?


    There had never been such a record in the Heavenspan World; let alone such a legend.


    Even Tian Qing back then was also unable to break the shackles with the augmentation of the rule crystal!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s words earlier were earth-shattering. He actually said that the Heavenspan World was a giant cage!


    ��What do your words mean?�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets felt that his breathing became somewhat ragged.


    Ye Yuan was filled with vicissitudes of emotion as he said, ��You know, I avenge grievances if there are any, and take revenge if there are grudges. I and the divine race shouldn��t be able to coexist under the same sky. Then why did I take the initiative to let them enter the Heavenspan World?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was taken aback and said, ��Yeah, I was very curious too. This isn��t your style!��


    The enmity between Ye Yuan and the divine race could be said to have stretched for ten billion years.


    If he really thought of it, the 18 grand ancestors were all his disciples.


    These 18 people, all had fallen.


    Let alone that the divine race forcibly abducted Yue Mengli, making the pair of them lovers unable to accept each other despite meeting.


    With Ye Yuan��s personality, he should have suppressed the divine race firmly in the Abyss World.


    But he did not.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��I made a trip to the divine race this time. Only then did I discover that they are also a bunch of pitiful people! Maybe the things that they did were all against their own will!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s pupils constricted and he said, ��You �� What on earth did you discover?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I haven��t got a clue right now yet. But I have a feeling that everything in the Heavenspan World seems to have been manipulated! Dao Ancestors, divine race, human race, everyone and everything, all seems like it��s being manipulated by an entity in secret. And we��re living, fighting, falling into samsara over and over again according to this rule.��


    A raging storm was stirred up in Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s heart.


    Ye Yuan��s words really subverted his understanding of this world.


    All along, his life��s creed was to guard the Heavenspan World and not let the divine race re-enslave the human race.


    But Ye Yuan��s words made him think deeply!


    Who was overlooking the world? Who was deciding their fate?


    They were merely a bunch of piglets reared in pens?


    ��B-But who��s controlling all these?�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said rather flusteredly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know, but I feel that it should be related to the divine race��s totem statues! Maybe the day when I break the statues, there will be an answer! But, no matter who��s controlling us, we��re too insignificant in front of him! Therefore, I need even greater power!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets muttered, ��Even greater power, could it be that �� Dao Ancestor isn��t enough yet?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��A strength capable of controlling the Heavenspan World, can you imagine how powerful it is?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s complexion turned deathly pale, and he said, ��This �� Does this mystery really need to be uncovered?��

 Chapter 2483 - Forsaken by Friends and Allies

    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was afraid!


    A power capable of controlling a world was seriously too terrifying.


    Therefore, he would rather not go and uncover this lid.


    Because uncovering it would mean going to confront it.


    Just like the mortals in his small world, no matter what boundary they cultivated to, it was also impossible to defeat him.


    How could they possibly defeat such an existence?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Sorry, I have to do this thing. Because if I don��t do it, I won��t be able to save Li-er. Relax. Regardless of who he is, he will be faced by me!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets smiled bitterly and said, ��Face? What will you use to confront him?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Maybe I can really break the shackles?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� entire body trembled and he said in alarm, ��I-Is this really true?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I have a feeling that my cultivation realm hasn��t reached the end yet! It��s just that, for the time being, I haven��t found the way to break through yet.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets had a look of astonishment and he said, ��How is this possible? Deva Fifth Blight is the end. How �� How did you do it?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Actually, Lin Chaotian guessed half of it correctly. I indeed became powerful because of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. It��s just that my greatest reliance isn��t the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, but a set of cultivation methods that I comprehended from the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. It��s precisely this set of cultivation methods that made me who I am today. But unfortunately, your small worlds have already been set, and you can no longer cultivate this set of cultivation methods anymore.��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� pupils constricted and he said, ��A cultivation method capable of breaking the shackles! C-Could it be that our cultivation was all wrong?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��My small world isn��t opened up by myself, but it evolved and formed naturally. When you all cultivate to the Deva Realm, the small world already reached the end form. But my small world isn��t fully formed yet. This is also why I don��t need to cross the Deva blight tribulation.��


    Monstrous waves were set off in Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� heart.


    The impact that Ye Yuan��s words had on him was seriously too strong.


    Ye Yuan��s small world actually had not taken shape yet!


    The cultivation method of everyone in the Heavenspan World was actually wrong!


    What was even scarier was that Ye Yuan actually walked out a path that belonged to himself!


    This talent simply rendered people speechless.


    Others all used one in a million to describe talent.


    But Ye Yuan was the only one in the Heavenspan World!


    Among trillions of living beings, he was the only one!


    After a long time, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ��No wonder! No wonder how this emperor divined it, I wasn��t able to see through your destiny too. Your destiny has already jumped outside of Heavenly Dao. How can it be what a mortal could divine? Whatever unpredictable child, whatever talks of destiny, it doesn��t exist to you!��


    The two people were currently chatting when Jian Yunxin came.


    ��Lord Saint Azure, Father, there��s a Deva Fourth Blight martial artist outside called Zhang Zhen, who says that he has an urgent matter to see Lord Saint Azure,�� Jian Yunxin said.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Did he say anything?��


    Jian Yunxin shook his head and said, ��He didn��t say anything. He says that the matter is of utmost importance and must see you in person.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Let him come in then.��


    Before long, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue robe walked in under Jian Yunxin��s lead.


    The moment the arrival saw Ye Yuan, he knelt down and said, ��This lowly one Zhang Zhen pays respect to Lord Saint Azure, Lord Profound Secrets!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Get up. What are you looking for me for?��


    Zhang Zhen fished out a very strange-looking stone. But the moment this stone appeared, an aura of Great Dao immediately filled the great hall.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� pupils constricted and he said, ��Heavenspan Token!��


    Ye Yuan asked rather curiously, ��This strange stone is the Heavenspan Token?��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets nodded and said, ��This aura can��t be wrong!��


    Zhang Zhen said, ��This lowly one came here to offer the Heavenspan Token to Lord Saint Azure!��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��Such a treasure, you actually want to offer it to me?��


    Zhang Zhen nodded and said, ��Yes!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Can you tell me the reason?��


    Zhang Zhen said, ��To be candid, this lowly one is Dao Ancestor Life��s subordinate! This Heavenspan Token was also snatched from the hands of numerous powerhouses under his orders!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he became even more curious.


    Lin Chaotian��s subordinate was actually giving the Heavenspan Token to him?


    Only to see Zhang Zhen continue, ��But this lowly one doesn��t want to work for that shameless man anymore! Lord Saint Azure understands and sympathizes with martial artists of my generation, making contributions high until it shocks the world. This lowly one admires Lord Saint Azure greatly! Therefore, this lowly one is willing to offer this token to Your Excellency! Furthermore, to be honest with you, this lowly one still has another Heavenspan Token in my hands. I hope that I can get Lord Saint Azure��s protection and bring me into the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he immediately understood.


    The struggle for Dao Ancestor this time was totally different from last time.


    They all, these Deva Realm martial artists, could only be the vassals of the various great Dao Ancestors.


    Otherwise, there would not even be a chance to enter.


    Hence, regardless of who obtained the Heavenspan Token, they would probably have to choose to join a faction.


    Over on the nine great Dao Ancestors�� side, their reputation already went sour. Even their own subordinates were actually unwilling to follow them anymore!


    This Zhang Zhen actually wanted to seek his protection.


    When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets heard that, he could not help laughing as he said, ��Hoho, the public attitude! Lord Saint Azure��s name of being a saint already reigns supreme in the Heavenspan World! I reckon that Zhang Zhen is just the beginning. In the future, I��m afraid that there will be even more martial artists coming here to seek your refuge.��


    Zhang Zhen followed up, ��Yes! Lord Saint Azure had extremely high prestige in the eyes of martial artists of my generation! Whoever mentions Lord Saint Azure all can��t help but give a thumbs up.��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help being speechless too.


    He also did not expect that such a thing would actually happen.


    However, he shook his head and said, ��Leave, I can��t protect you.��


    Zhang Zhen was taken aback and his expression immediately changed drastically and he said, ��Your Excellency, w-why is this? Could it be that �� Your Excellency looks down on me because of my background?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It has nothing to do with your background. It��s just that when I enter the Heavenspan Mountain, I won��t be taking part in the struggle for Dao Ancestor. I��ll naturally be unable to protect you.��


    Zhang Zhen opened his mouth wide and said with a look of disbelief, ��Y-Your Excellency is actually not competing to be a Dao Ancestor?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I��ll enter the Heavenspan Mountain, but it��s just in order to obtain the Tear of Life. I��m not interested in the position of Dao Ancestor.��


    Zhang Zhen was utterly speechless.


    Presently, the entire Heavenspan World was crazy for the position of Dao Ancestor.


    Outside, blood already flowed like rivers for a single Heavenspan Token.


    But this big shot actually turned his nose up at the position of Dao Ancestor!


    He thought about it and said, ��Your Excellency, accept this Heavenspan Token. I only request for Your Excellency to bring me into the Heavenspan Mountain. After entering the Heavenspan Mountain, this lowly one will naturally go and find lucky chances on my own. What does Your Excellency think?��


    Ye Yuan was just thinking of opening his mouth to refuse when Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said, ��Lord Saint Azure, if you reject, they can only choose the nine great Dao Ancestors. With these people��s shitty characters, they will definitely only be making use of these people. I��m afraid that in the end, they won��t be able to avoid the end result of dying. Right now, apart from you, no one can guarantee their safety. Moreover, you definitely won��t let those few people off. There has got to be someone replacing them so that you can make a move. Isn��t that so?��

 Chapter 2484 - Bear the Consequences Yourself!

    Chapter 2484: Bear the Consequences Yourself!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bang!


    The seat under Ancestor Lightning shattered into dust.


    He had a gloomy look. It could be seen how furious he was at this time.


    ��This bunch of animals, this ancestor treated them well, why did they betray this ancestor?�� Ancestor Lightning said furiously.


    Below, Pang Zhen stood proudly and said indifferently, ��Ancestor, it is public sentiment! The things that you all have done already chilled the hearts of the martial artists under the heavens. Why would they stand on your side?��


    Ancestor Lightning��s gaze turned sharp and he said angrily, ��Shut up, you unfilial child! Are you planning to go to his side too?��


    ��Yes!�� Pang Zhen said without hesitation.


    Boom!


    A terrifying pressure immediately erupted.. Ancestor Lightning��s palm was already pressed on top of Pang Zhen��s head.


    Just a bit more and it could take his life!


    But Pang Zhen��s expression did not change, and his heart did not race. He stared straight at Ancestor Lightning just like that.


    As if he did not care about his own life at all.


    Ancestor Lightning had a look of thunderous rage. But he could not press this palm down no matter what.


    ��Scram! Get lost for this ancestor! In the future, you��re no longer a member of my Pang Family!�� Ancestor Lightning said with an angry roar.


    Pang Zhen knelt down and did three kowtows toward Ancestor Lightning, and said, ��No matter whether Ancestor acknowledges or not, I��m a member of the Pang Family!��


    Finished talking, he got up and left.


    Similar scenes were happening to the various great Dao Ancestors.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were forsaken by friends and allies, virtually becoming completely solitary.


    Their fury could be imagined.


    There were even many of their direct lineage martial artists, such as the likes of Pang Zhen, who defected from their camp.


    Because they had a better choice now.


    �� ��


    On this day, in front of the Heavenspan Mountain, the nine great Dao Ancestors and the divine race��s eight great progenitors were shockingly present.


    Over on the divine race��s side, there were roughly over a hundred people.


    While on the nine great Dao Ancestors�� side, it appeared rather deserted.


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, he could not help smiling as he said, ��Huhu, the exalted Dao Ancestors actually only have these few people by their side, it��s beneath your dignity!��


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was very ugly. Giving a cold snort, he said, ��There are only just a few rule crystals. Why do I want so many people for?��


    Tian Qing had an expression of sudden enlightenment and he said, ��Oh, so that��s how it is! Hahaha ����


    Amidst the laughter was full of mockery.


    Lin Chaotian and the rest were angered until their expressions were livid.


    Right at this time, many small black dots appeared on the horizon.


    Everyone��s expression turned intent. Ye Yuan arrived!


    The little black dots gradually grew bigger. A large dense group of people was following behind Ye Yuan. There were likely six to seven hundred people.


    Treasure Pig was sleeping soundly in Ye Yuan��s arms.


    Beside him, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, and the rest were shockingly present.


    Among the others, Deva Fifth Blights were not in the minority too.


    There were only a total of 1080 pieces of Heavenspan Tokens. But Ye Yuan��s side occupied more than half and was even more than the sum of the other two parties.


    It could be seen what kind of shocking level Ye Yuan��s prestige reached.


    Seeing those familiar figures behind Ye Yuan, the expressions of the few Dao Ancestors became very ugly.


    ��Zhang Zhen! Wang Jin! Xu Zheng! You guys are excellent! Very good!�� Lin Chaotian��s eyes wanted to spew fire as gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Zhang Zhen, Wang Jin, and Xu Zheng were all generals under Lin Chaotian that were held in high regard.


    Lin Chaotian also knew that his reputation had gone bad now. So the ones he sent out were all his trusted confidants.


    But he did not expect that even these trusted subordinates turned their backs on him.


    The confidants that he sent out, in the end, only a scanty few people returned.


    Seeing Zhang Zhen and the rest currently, coupled with Tian Qing��s jeering remarks earlier, it could not help but upset him greatly.


    Feeling Lin Chaotian��s powerful pressure, the expressions of Zhang Zhen and the rest also changed slightly.


    After all, Lin Chaotian��s accumulated awe was too strong.


    ��Humph! Lin Chaotian, that thing that you all did, don��t you all have any idea in your hearts? As long as one isn��t a fool, they won��t continue to work themselves to the bone for you!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a cold snort.


    Lin Chaotian��s power of rule blossomed and actually had an appearance like he was all set for a showdown.


    ��Is that so? Then this ancestor wants to see whether or not he can protect you all!��


    The moment Lin Chaotian��s aura released, that terrifying pressure made everyone��s expressions change abruptly.


    Ye Yuan was very strong, but he had not reached the realm of rule after all.


    Furthermore, casting a big move like Nine Dragons Descending Upon the World might not be able to deal with Lin Chaotian too.


    Lin Chaotian could not kill Ye Yuan, but if he wanted to kill Zhang Zhen these people, Ye Yuan probably could not protect them either.


    They sought Ye Yuan��s protection but did not expect that Lin Chaotian was so decisive, planning on going on a killing spree outside of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    On the other side, Tian Qing looked at this scene calmly, an appearance of watching a joke.


    The human race��s internal friction, he naturally welcomed it greatly.


    ��Heh, there��s also this ancestor!��


    Ancestor Fire gave a cold laugh, the power of flame rule also bloomed quietly.


    ��Such a good thing, how can this ancestor miss it?�� Dao Ancestor Destruction also joined in.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were actually going to join forces again.


    These few people��s subordinates had practically all run off. They had a stomach full of grievances to begin with.


    Now that there was a chance to make Ye Yuan suffer a loss. They were naturally happy to see it happen.


    The few people were all looking like a cat that ate the canary, an appearance of cornering Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had a calm expression from beginning to end. It was as if these few people did not exist at all.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly moved!


    It was only to see his figure suddenly disappeared from where he originally was, already appearing in front of Ancestor Fire in a blink of an eye.


    Ancestor Fire��s expression changed and he shouted, ��Courting death!��


    Terrifying flame power erupted in an instant.


    The entire sky seemed to have been burned red; incomparably terrifying.


    But Ye Yuan actually ignored this horrifying temperature and pointed a finger at Ancestor Fire.


    The current Ye Yuan, his entire person seemed to be a sharp sword


    A sharp sword that could cut through heaven and earth!


    Seeing this scene, the expressions of Lin Chaotian and the rest changed wildly.


    Sword Dao rule! He �� He already reached the realm of Grand Ancestor!�� Lin Chaotian cried out in surprise.


    The current Ye Yuan had a terrifying power of rule surrounding his body.


    That sharpness tore straight through the firmament, making people unable to look straight at it!


    The Tian Qing who was originally harboring the attitude of watching a show, his pupils shrunk too.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan advanced to the realm of Grand Ancestor so quickly.


    This guy��s improvement was simply unreasonable!


    Just as everyone was shocked, Ye Yuan and Ancestor Fire faced off.


    Boom!


    A terrifying to the extreme force directly swept out.


    Ancestor Fire spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, his figure flying out backward!


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted and he exclaimed, ��What a swift and fierce sword! What an overbearing finger! This finger of his condensed without releasing, condensing Sword Dao to the extreme. Exploding it at one point, it��s far more brilliant than Ancestor Fire��s technique! The moment Ye Yuan entered the realm of Grand Ancestor, his strength already far surpassed the Grand Ancestor Proud Sword back then, reaching an unimaginable realm! Among the nine great Dao Ancestors, I��m afraid that apart from Dao Ancestor Life, there��s already none who is his match!��


    This review was transmitted into everyone��s ears.


    Everyone was inexplicably shocked.


    Just one finger defeated Ancestor Fire!


    This level of strength stunned everyone, including Lin Chaotian!


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Chaotian as he said coolly, ��You make a move then. But bear the consequences yourself.��


    This domineering declaration made everyone feel shocked.


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was even ugly to the extreme.


    What a huge loss of face!

 Chapter 2485 - Universe

    Chapter 2485: ��Universe��


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Damn brat, this ancestor wants you dead!��


    Right at this time, Ancestor Fire��s angry roar came over.


    A flame power even more terrifying than just now suddenly erupted.


    There were terrifying flames everywhere in the sky.


    Clearly, Ancestor Fire was already thoroughly enraged.


    ��Fire Dance Frenzied Demon! Die for me! Die! DIE!��


    Balls of flames exploded around Ye Yuan, shaking the void until it trembled.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan was engulfed.


    ��It��s Fire Dance Frenzied Demon this move! I heard that this move is Ancestor Fire��s ultimate big move. The power is indeed terrifying!��


    ��This move can incinerate all things in the world!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure will be fine, right?��


    �� ��


    When everyone saw Ancestor Fire blow his top and unleash his ultimate big move, each and every one of them was extremely worried too.


    Against Dao Ancestors, there were none who were easy to deal with.


    Especially if it was their ultimate trump card, those were all magnitudes that could obliterate heaven and decimate the earth.


    The moment this move Fire Dance Frenzied Demon was unleashed, the surrounding spiritual energy was burned into a vacuum zone.


    It could be seen how terrifying this move was.


    But right at this time, Lin Chaotian��s gaze turned intent, suddenly firing out a spell.


    ��Spring Wind for Ten Thousand Miles!��


    Powerful wood-attribute power was directly injected into Fire Dance Frenzied Demon.


    Wood begets fire!


    Ancestor Fire��s Fire Dance Frenzied Demon suddenly became incomparably berserk under Spring Wind for Ten Thousand Miles this move.


    That boundless fire sea actually started blackening, gradually turning black color.


    The temperature of this world suddenly rose to ten times more than before!


    The void was being incinerated by flames.


    When Ancestor Fire saw this scene, he could not help having a look of wild elation and he said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha �� Damn guy! See if you still don��t die this time!��


    Everyone��s faces changed wildly.


    No one would have thought that Lin Chaotian��s sudden attack could actually make Fire Dance Frenzied Demon hits move undergo such a terrifying change.


    Lin Chaotian��s control of wood-attribute rule had clearly already reached a transcendent degree.


    The wood-attribute power that he injected was like a catalyst, making Fire Dance Frenzied Demon this move reach the point of qualitative change.


    This terrifying flame had long already surpassed the Dao Ancestor himself.


    ��Damn! This Lin Chaotian is really despicable!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s expression changed as he said.


    Even Tian Qing��s pupils constricted, and he said in surprise, ��I underestimated this Lin Chaotian! This move is really impressive! If Ye Yuan comprehended three great laws to the realm of rule at the same time, perhaps he would be able to block this move. But right now, he��s probably fraught with grim possibilities!��


    By the side, Yue Mengli��s expression changed slightly too, revealing a worried expression.


    Pffft!


    But right at this time, there was a tremor in the fire sea. A figure dashed out of the fire sea, pouncing straight for Ancestor Fire.


    Who could this figure be if not Ye Yuan?


    Within a 30 feet radius around him, countless motes of starlight surrounded him, like there were countless diamonds decorated around him; magnificently beautiful!


    Tian Qing opened his mouth wide and said with a look of shock, ��This �� This guy is really a genius! He actually laid Sword Dao rule densely in the domain, forming an impermeable sword net! This domain is his Sword Dao domain!��


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually using this kind of method to shield the flame rule outside!


    Ye Yuan��s speed was immensely fast. In a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ancestor Fire.


    He was currently being excited on his own, thinking that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But in a blink, Ye Yuan appeared in front of him completely unscathed, making him jump in fright.


    Then, it was already too late to think about escaping.


    Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao domain suddenly enlarged, directly covering Ancestor Fire inside.


    ��Uni . .. verse!��


    Ye Yuan spat a word out of his mouth without the slightest emotion.


    While the stars around him that filled the sky suddenly bloomed.


    Ancestor Fire��s pupils constricted. There was no time to think too much. The domain power in his body bloomed. Terrifying power of flames attempted to force Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao domain out.


    It was just that those countless stars seemed to be countless sharp swords.


    This place became Ye Yuan��s absolute domain!


    Those one sword intent after another pierced right through Ancestor Fire��s domain, slicing onto his physical body.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    Miserable screams came out from within the Sword Dao domain, being incomparably shrill and forlorn.


    Each sound seemed to be crying in everyone��s hearts.


    Everyone looked at this scene in extreme shock, their thoughts falling into stagnation.


    No idea how long had passed either, the miserable screams gradually stopped.


    Ye Yuan put away ��Universe.�� A figure fell down feebly.


    Bang!


    Ancestor Fire��s body fell onto the ground, twitching non-stop.


    His body seemed to have been serrated by a saw, sword wounds everywhere.


    His aura was already extremely weak; only one last breath remaining.


    ��Hiss ����


    All around, came a series of sounds of cold air being sucked in.


    This kind of scene was seriously too soul-stirring.


    A Dao Ancestor was actually beaten until he lost human form!


    How long had it been since such a thing had happened before?


    Even Tian Qing also felt that his breathing became somewhat ragged.


    Finishing off a Dao Ancestor so neat and tidily, even he could not do it too.


    ��U-Universe is it? Within the domain, I am the universe! A fine move, Universe! What a domineering Universe! This Sword Dao domain is simply an absolute domain! Entering inside, one will definitely die without a doubt!�� Tian Qing could not resist praising.


    He really had his breath taken away by this move of Ye Yuan��s.


    Ye Yuan only just stepped into the realm of rule. But his application of Sword Dao rule already reached a transcendent realm.


    This move seemed to only be a Sword Dao domain. But with Tian Qing��s knowledge and experience, how could it be just like that?


    This move, ��Universe,�� was the perfect amalgamation of Ye Yuan��s world power and power of law!


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan unleashed the power of Sword Dao rule to the extreme with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    Within this domain, Ye Yuan��s offensive power practically had no upper limit!


    The endless Sword Dao rule was like an endless sea of swords, only giving up after all of your strength was depleted.


    ��Lord Tian Qing, this is merely a Sword Dao domain. Is it really so formidable?�� Tian Xing said with refusal to give in.


    Tian Qing gave him a glance and said, ��Even if this ancestor gets caught inside, I��ll likely lose a layer of skin if I want to escape too! His power doesn��t lie with the Sword Dao rule, but the application of Sword Dao rule, as well as his powerful world power! If my conjectures are right, Ye Yuan��s world power is likely more than ten times that of ordinary martial artists! It��s on completely different levels!��


    When the divine race��s people heard that, each and every one of them was incomparably shocked.


    They did not expect that Progenitor Tian Qing��s appraisal of Ye Yuan would actually be so high.


    In that case, it was tantamount to acknowledging that Ye Yuan already had the strength to threaten Progenitor Tian Qing!


    This was simply inconceivable to them!


    Ye Yuan still had his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Chaotian as he said coolly, ��Now, do you still want to see whether or not I can protect them?��


    Lin Chaotian opened his mouth wide, instinctively wanting to refute.


    But the words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back down.


    The strength that Ye Yuan displayed already reached the acme of perfection!


    Ye Yuan who reached the realm of rule, even if it was only a Sword Dao rule, he was already at the level of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him too.


    ��C-Consider yourself ruthless! Brat, let��s each stay out of the other person��s business!�� Lin Chaotian gritted his teeth and said.

 Chapter 2486 - Death of Dao Ancestor!

    Chapter 2486: Death of Dao Ancestor!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��S-So strong! Ancestor Fire and Dao Ancestor Life two people joined forces and were actually unable to even trap him!��


    ��Crushing Ancestor Fire with one move! The present Lord Saint Azure is really truly worthy of this title.��


    ��Yeah! Lord Saint Azure corroborating his Dao is the blessing of martial artists of our generation!��


    �� ��


    After the shock, everyone was extremely excited.


    Dao Ancestor Life had capitulated!


    The deterrence was mutual.


    Ye Yuan��s strength could clearly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him already.


    He had long expected that there would be this day. It was just that he did not expect that it would arrive so quickly.


    Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan had the nominal title of Saint Azure but did not have the strength to match it.


    But now, with Ye Yuan defeating Ancestor Fire in a single one move, being virtually on par with Dao Ancestor Life, he was already completely worthy of the title of Saint Azure!


    He was that Saint Azure who created an eternal legend!


    Boom!


    However, right at this time, a shocking change occurred again!


    A piercing cold to the extreme fist wind swept past. It was only to hear a bang. The place where Ancestor Fire collapsed directly turned into nothingness.


    The high and mighty Ancestor Fire actually perished!


    Everyone was shocked to the extreme, opening their mouths wide, disbelief on their faces.


    ��Huhu, weaklings don��t have the qualifications to live on. Rather than living painfully, better to let this progenitor send you off,�� Tian Qing said with a faint laugh.


    The punch earlier was launched by Tian Qing.


    Dao Ancestor Firespirit who had been unrestrained for an epoch actually perished in front of the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Just now, with Ye Yuan inflicting heavy wounds on Ancestor Fire, everyone was just amazed at Ye Yuan��s strength.


    But the impact that Ancestor Fire��s death brought to everyone was too strong.


    Everyone realized that an era of heroes vying for supremacy had already arrived!


    In this era, Dao Ancestors had a possibility of dying too!


    Ye Yuan gave Tian Qing a glance, still very calm. He did not express too much.


    Ancestor Fire was Lin Chaotian��s number one lackey. If he died, then he died. Ye Yuan did not have much sympathy.


    His strength had recently improved further. His reliance on the nine great Dao Ancestors was not that strong anymore.


    Furthermore, very soon, new Dao Ancestors would be born too.


    Whether or not Ancestor Fire died was not important.


    But to Lin Chaotian as well as the other seven great Dao Ancestors, Ancestor Fire��s death had clearly touched their most sensitive nerves.


    Lin Chaotian exploded at once.


    ��Ye Yuan! You colluded with the divine race and killed my human race��s Dao Ancestor! What is your intention!�� Lin Chaotian shouted angrily.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian like looking at a fool and said coolly, ��Tian Qing murdered people, but you don��t dare to shout at him. So you��re yelling at me? This matter arose because of you. Now, Ancestor Fire was killed, but you��re blaming it on me? Do you not want face?��


    Ye Yuan had just arrived and Lin Chaotian and Ancestor Fire were like lunatics, wanting to target him.


    He was merely forced to fight back. Now, Lin Chaotian pinned another large charge on his head.


    Truly laughable!


    Lin Chaotian��s eyes wanted to spit fire and he said angrily, ��Brat, you wait for me! We��ll showcase our true abilities on Heavenspan Mountain!��


    Finished talking, he flicked his sleeves and left.


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, the Heavenspan Mountain gave a strong undulation.


    An enormous light door appeared slowly.


    The Heavenspan Mountain opened!


    Lin Chaotian��s pupils constricted and he said, ��Go!��


    It was only to see his figure moved, and he already arrived in front of the light door.


    Lin Chaotian held the Heavenspan Token in his hand and walked into the light door first.


    Clearly, he was already too impatient to wait.


    The seven great Dao Ancestors also followed closely behind, entering the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Tian Qing gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a smile, ��You taking your own sweet time, aren��t you afraid that they will snatch the position of Dao Ancestor?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��m not interested in the position of Dao Ancestor.��


    Tian Qing��s expression choked and he said with a frown, ��Not interested? Huhu, interesting! Do you know what kind of level this progenitor��s strength will reach when I attain the position of Dao Ancestor?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��My spatial law and Formation Dao law are also both almost reaching the realm of rule already!��


    Tian Qing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He originally wanted to mock Ye Yuan but was choked to death by Ye Yuan.


    ��You, this fellow, really aren��t cute at all! Let��s go!�� Tian Qing gave a cold snort and entered the Heavenspan Mountain.


    After waiting for the divine race to enter the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��After entering the Heavenspan Mountain, everyone relies on your own lucky chances! I��ll say it again. Whoever helps me find the Tear of Life, I��ll help him ascend to the position of Dao Ancestor!��


    The hundreds of Deva powerhouses were invigorated and said in unison, ��Yes, Lord Saint Azure!��


    Originally, Ye Yuan did not want to get involved in the struggle for Dao Ancestor.


    But later on, he still heeded Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� suggestion.


    At least, if there were more people, there was a greater chance of finding the Tear of Life.


    As for the rest, he did not care.


    Arriving before the light gate, Ye Yuan stopped and did not advance, his mood fluctuating a little.


    After many years of hard work, he was finally nearing this step.


    Restraining his emotions, Ye Yuan stepped into the light door.


    In front of his eyes were balls of gray fog. Above the void, there were blue bolts of lightning flashing.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. Wasn��t this scene precisely what was inside the realm fog?


    ��What��s wrong, Ye Yuan?�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest came afterward. Seeing Ye Yuan��s abnormal state, he could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Heavenly Dao Samsara, the realm fog floods the Heavenspan Mountain. I think �� it should be the rules getting reshuffled! Looking at it this way, each epoch will be a little different.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest said in surprise, ��This �� Is this the realm fog?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I��ve once entered the realm fog before and seen this scenery.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest gave Ye Yuan a glance and could not help being speechless.


    This guy was really freakish!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest felt the realm fog a bit. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly and he said, ��Damn, there��s the power of Great Dao suppressing in this place! We can��t fly in the air or shuttle through the void. We can only walk forward on foot. This place is a huge cage!��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��Really?��


    Finished talking, his figure flashed, appearing several dozen feet away.


    Then, he kicked his feet and rose into the air.


    Following that, a bolt of blue lightning struck. He grabbed it casually and actually grabbed that bolt of lightning in his hand.


    The Treasure Pig in Ye Yuan��s arms suddenly sniffed his nose and swallowed the lightning in one bite. Then, he went to sleep again contentedly.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest opened his mouth wide, an expression like he had seen a ghost.


    These two fellows were simply not human!


    When Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and the rest who just came in saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked speechless.


    ��You �� How did you do it? Could it be that you��re actually not suppressed by the power of Great Dao?�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said in surprise.


    ��Lord Saint Azure is too amazing! He can actually fly on the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    ��Monstrous! Truly monstrous!��


    ��Being able to teleport, able to fly, it��s simply being established in an undefeatable position!��


    ��Indeed, we were right in following Lord Saint Azure!��


    �� ��


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all extremely shocked.


    The moment they entered, they were suppressed by the power of Great Dao, thoroughly becoming mortals.


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan was actually not affected in the least bit?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��My small world is a little special. This power of Great Dao can��t suppress me.��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest smiled bitterly and shook his head as he said, ��No wonder you look down on Dao Ancestors!��

 Chapter 2487 - Heaven-defying Luck!

    In the gray fog, on many narrow, winding trails, hundreds of Deva powerhouses had all already entered the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was clearly not unfamiliar with this place and said, ��These narrow, winding paths all lead above one million miles. Each small path, you��ll encounter all sorts of different lucky chances. But further up, these small paths will merge randomly, and eventually lead to nine exits. At that time, you all will encounter other martial artists. The killing will also kick off at that time!��


    The breathing of the numerous powerhouses also became quicker.


    Stepping onto this path, they would be opponents!


    In order to become a Dao Ancestor, the final fight would be extremely tragic.


    There were no friends on the path of becoming a Dao Ancestor.


    Everything was all for the sake of obtaining the rule crystals.


    ��Now, you guys each choose a path and set off!�� Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets said.


    The moment his voice faded, the six to seven hundred powerhouses rushed away one after another.


    Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, as well as Pang Zhen, Wan Zhen, and the rest, and said, ��Are you all with me, or setting off by yourselves?��


    Heavenly Dao Samsara, there would be all kinds of lucky chances on this road, just like the Tear of Life.


    Previously, the Tear of Life had never appeared. But under Heavenly Dao Samsara, it would definitely appear.


    Hence, that was why Ye Yuan would come to the Heavenspan Mountain.


    ��Your Excellency, we want to try it ourselves!�� Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen said in unison.


    Ye Yuan smiled and nodded his head and said, ��Go on!��


    The two were overjoyed and also each chose a small path.


    As for Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and Sacred Ancestor High Priest, their strength was even stronger. They naturally had to personally tackle the Heavenspan Mountain.


    To them, following Ye Yuan could naturally ensure their safety.


    But it was impossible for Ye Yuan to always be by their sides protecting them.


    At times, people had to face things themselves.


    Furthermore, walking together with Ye Yuan was equivalent to that they would not be able to encounter lucky chances belonging to themselves.


    After everyone left, Ye Yuan brought Treasure Pig and also set foot on a narrow, winding trail.


    Ye Yuan walked very carefully, looking very meticulously, not willing to miss a single detail.


    Ye Yuan had never seen the Tear of Life before. The people around him also had not seen it before.


    Only the nine great Dao Ancestors had seen the Tear of Life before.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan would rather be slower than to miss it.


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    Whoosh!


    All of a sudden, one gray shadow after another dashed out of the fog, heading straight for Ye Yuan.


    Each of these gray shadows was extremely powerful; comparable to Deva Fourth and Fifth Blight powerhouses!


    When there was an opportunity, there would naturally be danger.


    On this Heavenspan Mountain, apart from the ever-present blue lightning, there were also other lurking dangers.


    For example, these gray spirits.


    Their names were called gray spirits, a creature unique to the Heavenspan Mountain during the Heavenly Dao Samsara period.


    These gray spirits were extremely powerful, the weakest was also Deva First or Second Blight.


    To powerhouses who entered the Heavenspan Mountain, it was naturally incredibly dangerous.


    But currently, the strengths of these gray spirits that dashed out were far from just Deva First and Second Blight.


    Among them, the weakest was Deva Fourth Blight too!


    Furthermore, it was a large group!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��I��ve just started, how come I encountered so many gray spirits? Seems like �� something isn��t quite right!��


    ��Roar!��


    Right at this time, the Treasure Pig in Ye Yuan��s arms suddenly gave an angry roar.


    The gray spirits that were originally trying to attack Ye Yuan actually trembled all over in the air, suddenly stopping.


    Treasure Pig directly flew out of Ye Yuan��s embrace with a whoosh.


    Then he swallowed a gray spirit in one mouthful.


    Each and every one of those gray spirits trembled heavily, fleeing frantically into the gray fog.


    Treasure Pig had clearly discovered the deliciousness. So how could he be willing to let them go?


    It was only to see him whoosh again, burrowing into the mist.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not suppress his laughter.


    This Treasure Pig was really becoming more and more gluttonous.


    Ye Yuan could feel that although these gray spirits had intelligence. They were extremely pure energy bodies.


    They were absolutely great tonics to Treasure Pig.


    And Treasure Pig��s strength was extremely terrifying, it was virtually equivalent to two great Dao Ancestors joining forces.


    There were really not many existences capable of harming him in this fog.


    Therefore, he was also very at ease.


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    In the mist, Treasure Pig��s angry roar came from time to time, from varying distances and different directions.


    Clearly, he was hunting down those gray spirits crazily.


    No idea how long had passed either. The roars in the fog became thinner and thinner.


    Suddenly, a pink shadow rushed into Ye Yuan��s arms.


    He was still holding a white sphere in his mouth.


    ��Eurrp!��


    Treasure Pig burped contentedly and the white ball also dropped in Ye Yuan��s palm.


    Then he went to sleep on his own.


    Clearly, he ate until he was very full.


    But Ye Yuan��s eyelids twitched wildly!


    ��This thing �� it wouldn��t be such a coincidence, right?�� Ye Yuan looked at the white ball in his hand and could not help smiling bitterly as he said.


    An extremely strong water-attribute rule was emitting off of the white ball.


    That was right, it was precisely the power of rule!


    This power of rule surged like the bright moon in the dark night, unable to hide at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan was a fool, he also guessed what this was.


    Rule crystal!


    Ye Yuan did not expect that he just went out of the gates and already encountered the rule crystal that everyone yearned after even in their dreams!


    Judging from the power of rule coming from the rule crystal, it should be the water source crystal.


    He looked at the water source crystal in his hand and could not help being speechless.


    Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming. Unintentionally planting a willow tree and the willow tree became a shade.


    He was originally not inclined to the position of Dao Ancestor, but he encountered the rule crystal right after he left the house.


    How could one make sense of this sort of thing?


    The rule crystal could appear in any corner of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    But encountering it at this location was extremely rare.


    Even the Dao Ancestor Light back then also only encountered it above 10,000 miles.


    But Ye Yuan just stepped out of the house, being less than a mile out!


    This luck was simply heaven-defying!


    Treasure Pig was also impressive. Entering the gray fog and wandering around leisurely, he returned with a rule crystal in his mouth.


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling helpless. He looked at Treasure Pig and said, ��You this fellow, if you brought me a Tear of Life back, how great would that be?��


    Treasure Pig seemed to have felt something in his heart and opened his sleepy eyes and gave Ye Yuan a disdainful look.


    Posturing was not done like how you��re doing it!


    Treasure Pig was not stupid. On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent.


    How great the value of a rule crystal was, he naturally knew.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly. Who could understand his pain?


    However, he was not pretentious either. After all, it was a seat of Dao Ancestor. Since he acquired it, it was naturally impossible to throw it away.


    He put the water source crystal away. But no matter what he did, he was not able to suppress the water source crystal��s power of rule.


    When he carried this thing on him, it was like carrying a lighthouse.


    On the lighthouse, there was even a sign stating it��s here!


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless again and grumbled, ��No wonder in the last struggle for Dao Ancestor, of the few remaining human race powerhouses, another large group died. How is this thing some rule crystal? It��s simply a death-hastening crystal!��


    No matter who it was, having obtained this thing, they were bound to suffer the besiegement of everyone.


    The allure of the position of Dao Ancestor was seriously too strong, nobody could resist it!


    Therefore, this was simply a death-hastening talisman!

 Chapter 2488 - You Guys, Get Lost!

    ��Hand over the mysterious rune and I��ll spare you from death!��


    ��Get lost! Just based on you?��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    �� ��


    On the main road, there was chaos. The sound of fighting rose and ebbed.


    Along with the merger of the narrow, winding trails, more and more martial artists started meeting and fought endlessly for lucky chances.


    Those who dared to come to the Heavenspan Mountain were not weak. The fighting was very fierce.


    On this main road, more than ten Deva powerhouses were currently undergoing a miserable fight for a mysterious rune.


    Fierce undulations scattered the gray fog a little.


    Suddenly, a powerful rule undulation came from below.


    Everyone��s expressions changed wildly and actually stopped the battle at the same time without prior agreement, looking down below with looks of anticipation!


    Who did not know what happened?


    Rule crystal!


    Somebody obtained a rule crystal!


    ��Hahaha �� I really didn��t expect that the rule crystal appeared so early!��


    ��Nobody is allowed to snatch with me! The rule crystal is mine!��


    ��No matter who it is, go up and kill first before talking!��


    �� ��


    The group of powerhouses mustered up killing intent fully, preparing to take action.


    In the gray fog, that figure advanced unhurriedly, becoming clearer and clearer.


    ��Kill!��


    No idea who shouted. More than ten powerhouses rushed over one after another.


    Although it was not possible to fly here, how fast was the foot strength of a Deva Fifth Blight?


    In a blink, they arrived in front of that person.


    But, when they saw that person��s face clearly, everyone��s movements abruptly stopped.


    Everyone seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex, freezing there.


    ��L-Lord Saint Azure!��


    When the powerhouses saw Ye Yuan, their eyes went wide.


    No one could have thought that the struggle for Dao Ancestor just started and Lord Saint Azure was already holding the position of Dao Ancestor in his hand.


    The rule crystal in Ye Yuan��s hand and in their hands were two different concepts.


    Those able to shake Ye Yuan were only grand ancestor-level characters.


    Furthermore, it was even not ordinary grand ancestors.


    Who was tired of living, to dare snatch the rule crystal from his hands?


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces. Everyone only felt their entire body turn stiff as if they were being stared at by Heavenly Dao.


    How could they dare release any hint of greed toward Ye Yuan? They could only bury all of their emotions at the bottom of their hearts, not daring to divulge it in the slightest.


    Among these people, there were many who were brought in by Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan said it very clearly. He was only responsible for bringing in and nothing else.


    As for who could become an ancestor, it each relied on lucky chances!


    In reality, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to interfere even if he wanted to manage it.


    Facing the opportunity to become an ancestor, who could let it go?


    Becoming an ancestor meant reaching the heavens in one step!


    ��You guys continue,�� Ye Yuan said a sentence with a smile and passed through the crowd.


    ��W-We send Lord Saint Azure off respectfully!�� Everyone sweat profusely, seeing Ye Yuan off with their eyes.


    It was only after Ye Yuan��s figure completely disappeared from everyone��s line of sight did everyone feel relieved from the tremendous pressure.


    They discovered that their backs were already drenched!


    The present Lord Saint Azure was too terrifying!


    In the crowd, a martial artist��s eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly, ��T-Tear of Life! We still have hope! As long as we find the Tear of Life, with Lord Saint Azure��s sainthood name, he��ll definitely hand the rule crystal over to us!��


    Another person said, ��Right! There��s still the Tear of Life! As long as we obtain the Tear of Life, not only will Lord Saint Azure give us the rule crystal, he��ll even protect us all the way until we corroborate our Dao and become and ancestor!��


    Suddenly, the martial artists that Ye Yuan brought looked toward the other few people with pity.


    These few people came in with the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    ��Heh, you all can forget about it! This ��us�� doesn��t include you all!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is forthright and is clear about what to love or hate! Even if you all obtain the Tear of Life, the nine great Dao Ancestors will definitely kill and seize the treasure too! Therefore, don��t think about it!��


    The martial artists that Ye Yuan brought in had a strong sense of superiority at this time.


    While those few people had gloomy faces and were extremely depressed.


    They were really somewhat regretting it.


    This was a chance to corroborate one��s Dao and become an ancestor!


    Finding a Tear of Life was much easier than finding a rule crystal.


    At least, the Tear of Life would not be a moving beacon like the rule crystals that could attract endless killing.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan advanced along the way but did not find traces of the Tear of Life.


    Fate seemed to be playing a joke with him. He could easily find a rule crystal, but he could not find the Tear of Life.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Suddenly, incomparably strong undulations came from ahead.


    In addition, a vast and colossal power of flame rule also came from ahead.


    No need to go and Ye Yuan already guessed what happened.


    The fire source crystal came into being!


    In front, there were five powerful auras, all acquaintances.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly and he said, ��Interesting!��


    ��All-encompassing Tide!��


    ��Immortal Rebuking True Lightning!��


    ��Destruction Heaven-shocking Palm!��


    ��Brahma True Body!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan advanced slowly, five Grand Ancestor level powerhouses were currently in the heat of battle.


    The human race��s three ancestors coincidentally faced off against the divine race��s two great progenitors, fighting until the gray fog shook endlessly.


    Far away, many powerhouses kept a wide berth and did not dare to approach at all.


    Among the five people, there was a small flame-like ball, flickering indeterminately.


    Regardless of who obtained the rule crystal on both sides, they would suffer frenzied attacks and could not hold it at all.


    Suddenly, the five people felt something and stopped fighting one after another.


    It was undeniable that the water source crystal on Ye Yuan was too eye-catching.


    The five people originally thought that another rule crystal appeared. But upon seeing that it was Ye Yuan, their expressions could not help changing.


    They were fighting here endlessly and Ye Yuan had already gotten hold of the water source crystal!


    When Ancestor Water saw Ye Yuan, he said without the slightest hesitation, ��Ye Yuan! The matter previously was all this ancestor��s fault! Help me obtain this fire source crystal. In the next ten billion years from now on, this ancestor will be at your beck and call!��


    This was a super helper!


    Ancestor Water��s mind spun the fastest, immediately judging the current situation.


    The moment Ancestor Lightning heard, how could he be willing to show weakness? He immediately said, ��Ye Yuan, you and I are rather deeply connected! You help this ancestor this time, the Pang Family will serve you as our master in this epoch!��


    The moment Dao Ancestor Destruction heard, how could he be willing to give in, hurriedly saying: ��Ye Yuan, what they can do, this ancestor can do the same! This ancestor requests for you to take action and help me once!��


    Opposite, the divine race��s two great progenitors were dumbstruck with amazement from listening.


    They did not expect that the human race ancestors did not even want their morals anymore for the sake of obtaining the fire source crystal.


    Weren��t these few people still fighting it out to the death with Ye Yuan previously?


    How did it become such a situation in a blink of an eye?


    They discovered that they were somewhat unable to understand the way humans thought.


    However, their faces also became solemn. If Ye Yuan joined the battle, they would be under a lot of pressure!


    Ever since Ye Yuan cut Ancestor Fire down with his sword, the deterrence that he gave everyone was seriously too strong.


    ��Ye Yuan, we stay out of each other��s business! You already obtained one rule crystal. If you��re getting involved in the struggle for the fire source crystal too, you��ll be making too many enemies!�� Yellow Lineage��s progenitor, Yi Feng, said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan had a calm face when suddenly, he smiled at this time and said, ��I��m not interested in being a Dao Ancestor, but since I ran into a rule crystal, I can��t turn a blind eye to it too! I��ll be taking the fire source crystal! You guys, get lost!��

 Chapter 2489 - Battling Five Ancestors!

    ��G-Get lost?��


    Regardless of whether it was the five great ancestors or the powerhouses in the distance, they were all somewhat doubting whether or not their own ears heard wrongly.


    Ye Yuan was actually making five Grand Ancestor level powerhouses get lost?


    Yes, Ye Yuan was strong.


    But, it was also impossible for him to deal with five people at the same time, right?


    ��Ye Yuan! You �� You��re also too arrogant, right? Do you think that by killing Ancestor Fire, you can ignore all of us Dao Ancestors?�� Ancestor Water said in a solemn voice.


    But the corners of Yi Feng��s mouth curled slightly and he said with a smile, ��Rather interesting! Are you provoking the five of us?��


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��I only want the rule crystal! Of course, if you think that it��s a provocation, you can too!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were boundlessly domineering!


    ��Hahaha ����


    When Yi Feng heard that, he could not help bursting into laughter and said, ��I didn��t expect that one day, this progenitor will actually be looked down upon like this by someone! I also never thought that I would join forces with humans one day! What do the three of you think?��


    Yi Feng was laughing, but he was already genuinely enraged.


    What kind of figure was he?


    A progenitor who had once laughed proudly at the summit, monopolizing all life!


    Now, he was actually being looked down upon by someone to the point of asking him to get lost!


    If this could be endured, what else could not be?


    Of course, the one who was angry was not just him alone.


    The other four were all enraged, especially Ancestor Water three people! They put aside their egos to beseech Ye Yuan but did not expect to be humiliated by Ye Yuan like so.


    Ancestor Water had a black face and said in a solemn voice, ��Although this ancestor isn��t willing, right now, there seems to be no other choice! This brat is too arrogant!��


    Ancestor Lightning also had a dark look as he said, ��Humph! Refusing face when it��s given! Originally, we��re very apprehensive of you, but you insist on forcing the five of us to join forces! This place is the Heavenspan Mountain. You can��t fly and can��t teleport! This ancestor wants to see whether or not you can survive under the five of us teaming up!��


    Dao Ancestor Destruction sneered and said, ��Ye Yuan, after you attained the position of a Grand Ancestor, you seem to have become more and more puffed up with conceit! Since that��s the case, then this ancestor doesn��t mind sending you off!��


    Crazy!


    Utterly crazy!


    Lord Saint Azure was going to forcibly resist five great Dao Ancestors joining forces!


    Ye Yuan had once escaped with ease from under the joint forces of the nine great Dao Ancestors.


    It was just that, escaping and frontal confrontation were two totally different concepts!


    The surrounding Deva powerhouses were all dumbstruck with amazement, not understanding why Ye Yuan would make such a choice.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said disdainfully, ��Refusing face when it��s given? Huhu, do you guys have face? Not anybody can be this Ye��s servant if they want to!��


    It was not that Ye Yuan was showing off his ability, but that he did not have a favorable impression of any one of these people.


    To these Dao Ancestors, there were no forever friends, and also no eternal enemies.


    But to Ye Yuan, kindness was kindness, enmity was enmity!


    These few guys were nauseating to the extreme. Now, they were actually still thinking of turning around to cooperate with him.


    Dream on!


    Furthermore, since he ran into the fire source crystal, it was naturally impossible to let it go.


    Holding the rule crystal in his own hands was clearly the best option.


    There were many people around him suitable to be the next Dao Ancestor!


    The expressions of the human race��s three Dao Ancestors all turned black like the bottom of a pot.


    Ye Yuan did not take them seriously at all!


    In order to obtain the rule crystal, they already gave up the dignity of a Dao Ancestor.


    But Ye Yuan did not buy it at all!


    ��Humph! Talk about after you can survive from under our hands! All-encompassing Tide!��


    Ancestor Water did not say another word and directly made a move!


    Instantly, Ye Yuan was engulfed by the tide.


    Furthermore, there was even a strange power in this tide, making people unable to shake free.


    ��Immortal Rebuking True Lightning!��


    ��Destruction Heaven-shocking Palm!��


    ��Brahma True Body!��


    �� ��


    Five great Dao Ancestors each executed their means. It was either an earth-shaking big move or a Heavenly Dao True Martial.


    The five people��s power superimposing together was truly terrifying to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan��s expression did not change, and he casually threw Treasure Pig to one side and joined in the battle.


    Treasure Pig rolled dozens of times on the ground, ending up under a rock. But he still did not have the intention of waking up.


    This guy had just eaten to his fill and was dead asleep right now.


    ��Universe!��


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry, Universe appeared again!


    The pupils of Ancestor Water and the rest all shrunk, revealing looks of dread.


    Ancestor Fire died under this move!


    The five great Dao Ancestors were very fearful of Ye Yuan, not daring to get into close quarters with Ye Yuan at all.


    Once they got caught in Universe��s range, they would also not be far from death.


    But very soon, they were shocked!


    Universe��s defense was similarly solid as a metal bucket!


    The five of them working together actually could not breach Universe��s defense!


    Ye Yuan propped Universe up and moved freely among the five of them.


    Occasionally, he could even pose some threat to them.


    These terrifying moves, Ye Yuan received all of them as they were.


    Sword Dao rule was originally mightier than the unitary Five Element Laws.


    Even destruction rule was also slightly inferior when compared to Sword Dao rule.


    Of course, more importantly, Dao Ancestor Destruction��s strength was inadequate!


    What the few people were even more unaware of was that Ye Yuan��s chaos world had currently reached grand completion already. His world power was unbelievably strong!


    World power coupled with the Universe��s sword art executed with Sword Dao rule, it was virtually the Heavenspan World��s strongest swordsmanship already.


    Wanting to breach Universe, unless you forcibly broke through from outside with absolute strength.


    But very clearly, these five people were all not qualified enough!


    Each and every one of the onlooking Deva powerhouses was dumbfounded with shock.


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right?��


    ��Universe this move simply has no weakness to exploit!��


    ��Hisss �� This is the legendary Sword Dao moving the gods, right?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s fearsomeness deeply shocked everyone present.


    Previously, when killing Ancestor Fire, Universe only appeared for an instant. Everyone did not feel its might.


    But now, the might of Universe was exhibited beyond a doubt!


    Invincible defense, harrowing attack!


    This kind of move could be rated as without weaknesses to exploit!


    The more the five great Dao Ancestors fought, the more alarmed they got.


    Yi Feng two great progenitors had already each displayed two Heavenly Dao True Martials but were still unable to break Universe.


    ��Damn it! How can this boy be so strong? Gentlemen, stop holding back! Otherwise, no one can obtain the rule crystal!�� Ancestor Water said with a low roar.


    As a Dao Ancestor, how could they not have any trump cards up their sleeves?


    Just like Ancestor Fire��s Fire Dance Frenzied Demon!


    This kind of big move could virtually obliterate heaven and decimate the earth.


    The other four people nodded one after another and said, ��Okay! Looks like we got to bring out our true abilities!��


    The seal in Ancestor Lightning��s hands suddenly changed, and he shouted coldly, ��Boundless Heavenly Fiend Lightning Prison!��


    All of a sudden, the surrounding became a sea of lightning!


    An enormous cage wrapped Ye Yuan up tightly!


    Inside were incomparably thick electric snakes, flying around everywhere.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    These electric snakes attacked Universe frenziedly, attempting to break through!


    Dao Ancestor Destruction put both hands together, a horrifying power that could obliterate heaven and decimate the earth erupted from his body.


    Only to see him throw a punch out ordinarily. That terrifying power even opened up a gap in the lightning prison!


    ��Shiva Celestial Deity Eradicating Palm!��


    At the same time, Ancestor Water and the two great divine race progenitors unleashed their strongest attacks one after another!


    Universe finally loosened up a little under this terrifying power!

 Chapter 2490 - Dual Polarity

    When Ancestor Water saw this scene, he could not help being overjoyed as he said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha �� Did you see that, Ye Yuan? This is the power of Dao Ancestors! Death is the outcome of you provoking Dao Ancestors!��


    ��Ye Yuan, you looked down on us eight great progenitors too much! Have you forgotten how many grand ancestors died under our Heavenly Dao True Martial back then?�� Yi Feng also said with a cold smile.


    In reality, among these five people, the combat strengths of the two great progenitors were even above the three Dao Ancestors.


    When they unleashed their full strength, the power was truly boundless.


    Only then did the three Dao Ancestors know that previously, Yi Feng two people did not use their full strength at all.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan finally forced out these two people��s hidden strength fully with his formidable strength.


    When the Deva powerhouses saw this scene, they could not help sighing heavily.


    ��Sigh! Lord Saint Azure was still overly confident!��


    ��Each of these ancestors is an old monster who has lived for ten billion years. Who doesn��t have some trump card?��


    ��Lord Saint Azure played too big this time. Not only did he fail to get the fire rule crystal, but also probably even the water rule crystal can��t be protected!��


    �� ��


    With regards to the current situation, everyone felt pity for him.


    Ye Yuan��s might naturally could be seen clearly.


    It was just that, facing the strongest few people in this world, he was a little too overbearingly haughty.


    But currently,Ye Yuan who was inside Universe had a calm look. He did not feel panic.


    Facing Ancestor Water and Yi Feng��s cynicism, he just said coolly, ��You all seem to be very pleased with yourselves! Is this all you have? But I haven��t even used my full strength yet!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the five great Dao Ancestors changed wildly.


    But very soon, Ancestor Water smiled coldly and said, ��Huhu, did we grow up being intimidated? This move of yours already exerted Sword Dao to the extreme, breaking the joint efforts of Lin Chaotian and Ancestor Fire! This ancestor doesn��t believe that you still have an even stronger move!��


    Yi Feng also said, ��You��re also looking down on us, these few old fellows, too much! Huhu, if you still have some trump card, feel free to use it!��


    Not that they did not believe it, but that Ye Yuan��s Universe move was indeed too strong!


    They simply could not imagine what kind of level a sword move that was even stronger than this move would reach.


    Ye Yuan nodded slowly and said, ��Rest assured, you��ll be able to see it right away!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s Universe actually started spinning.


    The originally invulnerable Universe suddenly had an extremely large hole appeared after it started spinning.


    When the five great Dao Ancestors saw this scene, their entire bodies shook!


    Courting death!


    They were currently like flies.


    Suddenly seeing a crack on the egg, how could they let it go?


    Immediately, their big moves all rumbled towards that gap.


    But at the same time, Ye Yuan��s body radiated with a resplendent golden light!


    Terrifying dragon might instantly rippled out!


    True Dragon Profound Armor!


    Ye Yuan��s body was actually covered by a layer of powerful dragon scales.


    These dragon scales were all transformed from blood vitality.


    Boom!


    The five great Dao Ancestors�� big moves bombarded onto this True Dragon Profound Armor in their entirety.


    Ye Yuan tasted sweetness at his throat, his innards already sustaining serious injuries.


    But he forcefully suppressed his injuries.


    The divine essence within his body poured out crazily, injecting into Universe!


    Right as Ye Yuan was under attack, Universe already converted into two blades.


    The two blades started rotating crazily at this time.


    The terrifying cutting edge of the swords directly split the fog into two!


    A scent of death instantly diffused in the air.


    Originally, the five great Dao Ancestors all had delight on their faces for having inflicted serious wounds on Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, their expressions became very ugly!


    This was the scent of death!


    Ye Yuan really still had a final hit move!


    The originally rock-solid and calm Universe revealed its sharp edge at this time, the murderous aura without restraint!


    The swift and fierce sword intent was exerted to the extreme at this moment!


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s realm, the sword was the intent in his chest, there was no need to deposit it inside a material object.


    His divine essence could similarly be a sword!


    ��Dual Polarity! Kill!�� These three words popped out of Ye Yuan��s mouth[1]!


    Those crazily spinning two blades cut straight through the air, carrying an incomparably sharp edge!


    At this moment, the cutting edge intent of the sword was practically going to slice this Heavenspan Mountain��s cage completely apart!


    And this sword was heading straight for Ancestor Water.


    Ancestor Water��s heart was almost jumping out. The scent of death hit him head-on.


    How many years had it been?


    How many years had he not faced the threat of death already?


    Ever since corroborating his Dao and becoming an ancestor, death this word seemed to have already left him.


    But at this moment, he seemed to have found it again!


    How could he dare to have the slightest hesitation? Ancestor Water revolved his divine essence and power of rule madly, attempting to block Dual Polarity.


    A Turn of the Tide!


    Continuous without ceasing!


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    No matter how he blocked, Dual Polarity was like a cutting machine. Wherever it passed through, it mowed down all resistance!


    Dual Polarity gradually enlarged in his eyes!


    Finally, bang!


    Dual Polarity breached his domain and broke through his final layer of defense, completely garroting him!


    Places where it passed through, no corpse or bones remained!


    Ancestor Water, dead!


    ��Puhwark!��


    Only now did Ye Yuan spurt out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    However, he did not care. He said indifferently, ��Now, I��m collecting the fire rule crystal. Who else still has objections?��


    Each and every one of the remaining four great Dao Ancestors�� complexions turned deathly pale.


    They were frightened by this scene earlier!


    Ye Yuan killed someone under the siege of five great Dao Ancestors!


    Just now, in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, Ye Yuan forcibly resisted the ultimate moves of the five, and executed the swift and fierce to the extreme big move, Dual Polarity!


    This kind of strength made people daunted at the sight of it!


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to an undefeatable god of war, giving people a feeling of invincibility.


    The four great Dao Ancestors actually took several steps back without prior agreement.


    ��Very well. It seems like nobody has any objection!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, walked in front of the fire rule crystal, and put it away.


    From start to end, not a single one of the four great Dao Ancestors dared to step forward to stop him.


    Putting away the fire rule crystal, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Do you all want to continue, or �� scram?��


    The current Ye Yuan was full of energy when speaking.


    Although his aura was somewhat unstable, he did not seem to have suffered too much damage.


    Yi Feng��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    Although he was a divine race progenitor and his power was boundless, wanting to kill a Dao Ancestor was not an easy matter.


    Defeating and killing were two completely different things!


    Dao Ancestors had experienced the baptism of rule crystals. Their strength was more than a magnitude stronger when compared to Grand Ancestors.


    ��You �� You��re really a freak!�� Yi Feng gritted his teeth and turned around, merging into the gray fog.


    The other person also followed closely behind.


    Ancestor Lightning��s expression was ugly as he said, ��The five of us struck with our full power, and yet you �� you actually only suffered light injuries! C-Consider yourself ruthless! This ancestor will stay a respectful distance from you in the future!��


    Finished saying, he also turned around and merged into the gray fog.


    When Dao Ancestor Destruction saw Ancestor Lightning leave, he also did not bother to speak, hurriedly running away.


    The feeling that Ye Yuan gave them was really extremely monstrous.


    Corroborating one��s Dao and becoming an ancestor, this signified eternal life!


    To the nine of them, death was already a distant noun.


    But now, Ye Yuan had the strength to kill Dao Ancestors.


    Furthermore, it was killing Ancestor Water under the besiegement of five great Dao Ancestors!


    How strong was this impact on them?


    [1] I translated this as Dual Polarity, but it actually means Yin Yang without using the words Yin Yang.

 Chapter 2491 - Transaction!

    ��This �� This �� is too strong! Really too strong!��


    ��Five great Dao Ancestors! Those were five great Dao Ancestors! One was killed just like that?��


    ��Originally I thought that Universe was already Lord Saint Azure��s strongest move. Who would have expected that he actually still had more cards up his sleeves!��


    �� ��


    The Deva powerhouses present were all staring dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    Ye Yuan��s Dual Polarity move killing Ancestor Water also announced the arrival of a new era!


    Dao Ancestors would die!


    In reality, this Dual Polarity move was not some new trick. It was just a derivative move of Universe.


    The universe was all-encompassing!


    Therefore, Universe this move in itself was even and calm, having no weakness to exploit.


    However, this move also sacrificed the cutting edge and fierceness of Sword Dao.


    Dual Polarity this move was derived from Universe.


    It divided Universe into two, transforming it into two poles.


    With two poles circulating, continuous reproduction in an endless succession, they unleashed the cutting edge of Sword Dao to the extreme.


    Therefore, the offensive power of this move was formidable to the extreme.


    Of course, Universe turning into Dual Polarity was tantamount to sacrificing defensive power.


    But this was nothing to Ye Yuan.


    His physical body already reached the realm of a Grand Ancestor. Who could rival it in this world?


    Even Tian Qing��s physical body was also far inferior when compared to him!


    At that moment, Ye Yuan activated the dragon race samsara progenitor��s other innate divine ability, True Dragon Profound Armor!


    True Dragon Profound Armor was the dragon race��s strongest defensive divine ability.


    He forcefully resisted the all-out attacks of five great Dao Ancestors and unleashed his strongest sword art, killing Ancestor Water and scaring four ancestors away, shocking everyone present!


    This scene was seriously too soul-stirring.


    ��This �� Lord Saint Azure already obtained two of the nine! In this struggle for Dao Ancestor, he��s virtually in an undefeatable position!�� Suddenly, someone reacted with a look of surprise.


    Each rule crystal was extremely precious!


    In the last struggle for Dao Ancestor, no idea how many Deva powerhouses died.


    The killing was tragic to the extreme.


    After that battle, humanity��s major powers virtually fell into a disjointed generation!


    But now, Ye Yuan was almost certain to be the biggest winner.


    By the side, someone nodded and said, ��With Lord Saint Azure��s present strength, when rule crystals reach his hands, nobody can snatch it away at all! Even Tian Qing and Dao Ancestor Life can��t as well!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure himself already possesses Dao Ancestor-class terrifying strength. Coupled with two great Dao Ancestors, this Heavenspan World will be Lord Saint Azure��s world in the future!��


    The present situation was what everyone did not expect.


    Less than halfway through the passageways, Ye Yuan already had two rule crystals in his hands!


    The crux was that when rule crystals reach his hands, it would be difficult to spit it out.


    �� ��


    To say that Ye Yuan was unlucky, he actually acquired two rule crystals in a row.


    But to say that he was lucky, walking along the way, he never found news about the Tear of Life.


    Regardless of whether it was him or anyone else.


    Currently, he already arrived above 800,000 miles. Along the way, virtually everyone knew that he had rule crystals in his hands.


    If someone obtained the Tear of Life, they would definitely come to find him to exchange.


    It was just that sadly, there wasn��t!


    The mountainous paths became wider and wider. The originally narrow, winding trails already became main roads that led to heaven.


    But Ye Yuan��s mood inexplicably became irritable.


    He was not interested in other lucky chances.


    Because to him, these lucky chances were already of little use.


    Only the Tear of Life was what he was determined to get.


    Along with the mountain paths getting higher and higher, the pressure in Ye Yuan��s heart also grew increasingly greater.


    Ye Yuan passed through the fog and finally arrived above a million miles!


    Ahead, nine main roads gradually became clear.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp!


    A familiar figure was currently sitting cross-legged, blocking in the middle of the main road.


    And on the ground in front of him, three people were lying on the ground.


    The three people��s hand and leg ligaments were all severed. The auras on their bodies were also incredibly frail, having only left with one last breath.


    These three people were none other than precisely Pang Zhen, Wan Zhen, as well as Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    And that figure sitting cross-legged was none other than precisely Dao Ancestor Life, Lin Chaotian!


    Seeing Ye Yuan appear, Lin Chaotian did not seem surprised and said smilingly, ��You��re finally here?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sullen and he said in a cold voice, ��What do you want?��


    Lin Chaotian smiled and said, ��Nothing. I just want to make a deal with you!��


    Ye Yuan said in a cold voice, ��Speak!��


    The corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth curled slightly and he said smugly, ��I know that you have two rule crystals on you, hand them over and exchange for two people! The remaining person dies!��


    After Lin Chaotian entered, he did not put his heart and soul into finding rule crystals.


    On the contrary, he scattered the people under him out, to search for the whereabouts of the people around Ye Yuan.


    Among the people around Ye Yuan, there were many who entered this time.


    Apart from Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen, there was also Long Yi, Bai Chen, and the rest.


    Heaven rewarded the faithful. Lin Chaotian found Pang Zhen, Wan Zhen, as well as Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets!


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was personally captured by him.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, a piercing cold killing intent instantly bloomed.


    This Lin Chaotian was really shameless to the extreme!


    However, when Lin Chaotian saw Ye Yuan��s expression, he enjoyed it very much and said with a faint smile, ��You seem to be very furious? Huhu, weren��t you very arrogant when you were outside? What about now? Continue being arrogant! Mn? This ancestor knows that the people around you will always be your greatest weakness! You fool, to actually still dare to bring them in! Forget that you brought them in. But you actually dared to let them run around recklessly on the Heavenspan Mountain! Huhu, are you very conflicted right now?��


    The current Lin Chaotian felt a delight of having taken revenge.


    For so many years, he, this Dao Ancestor, had suffered no idea how many losses under Ye Yuan��s hands!


    His hatred toward Ye Yuan had long already reached the limit.


    So what if Saint Azure?


    He was a Dao Ancestor!


    He was the number one Dao Ancestor!


    But now, he was like a dog who lost its home!


    This was thanks to Ye Yuan!


    Therefore, he wanted to return all these pain to Ye Yuan!


    ��Huhu, entering the Heavenspan Mountain this time, I never thought of going to find the rule crystals at all! Because I know that you��ll help me find it! Your destiny is too heaven-defying! Sure enough, you didn��t disappoint me! Not only did you obtain the rule crystal, you even obtained two!��


    ��But very sadly, you only obtained two! Hahaha �� you have to abandon one person, you should be very pained, right? But this sort of pain is precisely what I hope for!��


    Talking about how he was pleased with himself, Lin Chaotian could not resist raising his head to the sky and laughing loudly.


    These few years, he had never felt so happy before!


    Suddenly, he flipped his palm over. A crystal clear crystal appeared in his palm.


    The moment this thing appeared, a powerful life force instantly spread out.


    This extremely clear crystal took on a water droplet shape.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, immediately guessing the origin of this crystal.


    Tear of Life!


    This thing was the Tear of Life he had been searching bitterly for!


    It was actually in Lin Chaotian��s hands!


    Lin Chaotian said smugly, ��Huhu, you didn��t see wrongly. It��s the Tear of Life! I know that you��re looking for it, but very unfortunately, it was obtained by me!��

 Chapter 2492 - What Are You Scared Of?

    ��Tsk tsk, really touching! Your brothers barely escaped death to obtain the Tear of Life for you. But in the end, it was obtained by me. Would you feel very angry?��


    Lin Chaotian smiled faintly. His smugness was practically exuding.


    But right then, a figure walked out of the fog, looking at Ye Yuan with a proud look.


    ��Huhu, Lord Saint Azure, are you still satisfied with this big gift?��


    The one talking was none other than precisely Zhang Zhen!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, a wave of evil fire immediately welled up in his heart.


    This Lin Chaotian really exhausted his abilities!


    Zhang Zhen smiled and said, ��Huhu, I know that Lord Saint Azure won��t trust me. I also don��t need Lord Saint Azure to trust me. As long as your brothers trust me, it will do!��


    Lin Chaotian also smiled and said, ��Apart from Zhang Zhen, the Deva Realms under this ancestor have sincerely turned to you for protection! Heh, a mixture of truth and falsehood makes it difficult to distinguish! Furthermore, you seem to have forgotten, this ancestor entered the Heavenspan Mountain once! Back then, this ancestor fought all the way, narrowly escaping death, before I attained the position of Dao Ancestor! Nobody is more familiar with the Heavenspan Mountain than me! Although Zhang Zhen they all didn��t take the same path, they will definitely run into each other! Hence, the whereabouts of these brothers of yours, have actually all been within my control!��


    Ye Yuan��s existence made Lin Chaotian feel a tremendous threat.


    This kind of threat even surpassed the divine race!


    Hence, during these few years of Heavenly Dao Samsara, Lin Chaotian racked his brains to think, not about the struggle to be Dao Ancestor this time, but how to deal with Ye Yuan��s revenge!


    Lin Chaotian was a sensible person. He knew that a battle between him and Ye Yuan was unavoidable.


    Therefore, he practically hollowed his brain out these few years, wanting to find a way to deal with Ye Yuan.


    But in the end, he discovered to his dismay, this was an unsolvable problem!


    Ye Yuan could not be killed!


    As long as he could not kill Ye Yuan, he would continuously grow stronger and eventually surpass himself.


    Lin Chaotiaan thought of corroborating his Dao and becoming an ancestor again. But he thought it over. Being a Dao Ancestor could not provide him with a sense of security at all.


    Ye Yuan��s potential was endless!


    Then, what was Ye Yuan��s weakness?


    His friends!


    Last time, he was ill-prepared.


    But this time, he would not fail!


    On the ground, Pang Zhen vomited blood and said with an angry roar, ��Zhang Zhen, you despicable villain! I definitely won��t let you off!��


    Zhang Zhen was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Huhu, you��re thinking too much! He only has two rule crystals. How do you know that he��ll pick you? According to what I know, it seems like your standing on his side is inferior to these two!��


    Pang Zhen��s pupils constricted and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Wan Zhen, Lord Profound Secrets, after I die, you guys must avenge me and kill this damn dog!��


    Wan Zhen��s gaze flickered and he roared, ��Your Excellency, save Lord Profound Secrets and Pang Zhen!��


    Profound Secrets had blood in his mouth as he laughed loudly and said, ��You two little babes are actually vying with this old man! This old man has lived for ten billion years and has long already lived enough! Ye Yuan, although I didn��t achieve what Father has done, being revered for generation after generation, but I still have this bit of bearing! You save them!��


    Ye Yuan frowned. He did not make a sound from start to end.


    He could feel that Lin Chaotian performed some tricks on their bodies.


    As long as he made the slightest unusual movement, these three would die without a burial ground.


    But these three people, he was unable to accept losing any one of them!


    ��Tsk tsk, how touching! At this time, you guys can actually still think of helping the others! Huhu, but don��t you all feel that this will make it even harder for him to choose instead?��


    Lin Chaotian had a smug face as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Why? Can��t choose? Why don��t �� this ancestor help you choose?��


    Boom!


    Lin Chaotian pointed a finger out, Pang Zhen��s two legs directly exploded into nothingness.


    ��Urgh ���� Pang Zhen hurt until he sweat cold bullets, gasping the cold air in pain.


    But he refused to scream from start to end.


    Although this was not fatal, it was painful to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he shouted coldly, ��Lin Chaotian, you��re courting death!��


    Lin Chaotian was indifferent and said with a faint smile, ��Oh? Is that so?��


    Swoosh!


    His figure suddenly moved, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, Universe suddenly unfolded!


    ��You dare to block?�� Lin Chaotian was all smiles as he said.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, immediately withdrawing Universe.


    Bang!


    Lin Chaotian��s palm was embedded into Ye Yuan��s chest firmly.


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, flying out backward.


    Against that palm, Ye Yuan withdrew Universe and the power of domain. Hence, it landed firmly on his body.


    Regarding Lin Chaotian��s one palm, how terrifying was the power?


    The number one Dao Ancestor did not come from boasting!


    His strength might be even greater than those five people Ye Yuan fought with previously!


    ��My Lord Saint Azure!, You��re also nothing more than this!��


    Lin Chaotian looked at the Ye Yuan who fell to the ground and said with a big laugh, ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, aren��t you very arrogant? Didn��t you look down on this ancestor? Get up! You, fight back!��


    Bang!


    While talking, Lin Chaotian��s figure moved swiftly, another palm imprinting onto Ye Yuan��s chest.


    Ye Yuan flew backward again!


    Receiving two palms in a row, even if Ye Yuan��s physical body was exceedingly strong, his innards also suffered a tremendous impact, his injuries extremely severe.


    One had to know, he did not have the slightest defense, relying entirely on his physical body to forcibly resist two palms!


    If it were others, Lin Chaotian��s these two palms landing, they would have long already been beaten into nothingness.


    ��Hahaha �� indeed deserving of being Lord Saint Azure, really resistant to hits! Your divine soul can��t be killed, but if this ancestor destroys your physical body, then I wonder if you can still break the shackles or not?��


    Lin Chaotian laughed savagely, a palm slamming onto Ye Yuan��s body once again.


    All the bones in Ye Yuan��s body seemed to have been broken up, his internal organs practically ruptured.


    ��Argh! Argh! Argh! Lord Saint Azure, leave us alone! Fight back!�� Pang Zhen had tears in his eyes, enduring the intense pain as he bellowed.


    Wan Zhen clenched his jaws tightly and said with an angry roar, ��Lord Saint Azure, our death isn��t regrettable! Fight back! Kill this damn dog and revive the human race!��


    They understood that Ye Yuan already had the strength to challenge Lin Chaotian presently.


    But, for their sake, he would rather be beaten into serious injuries by Lin Chaotian.


    At this rate, Ye Yuan��s physical body would really be ruined!


    With his physical body being ruined, Ye Yuan naturally would not die.


    But, wanting to reach his present peak would require far too much effort.


    And Lin Chaotian would not give him this chance!


    When Lin Chaotian heard that, he laughed loudly and said, ��Yeah, fight back! Why aren��t you fighting back, Lord Saint Azure? Fight back!��


    Swoosh!


    Lin Chaotian��s figure moved again, a palm slamming toward Ye Yuan again.


    This feeling of toying with Ye Yuan made him enjoy it greatly!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly lifted his hand, his eyes full of coldness.


    A feeling of immense danger suddenly rose!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed wildly, his figure retreating explosively!


    He was frightened!


    Ye Yuan struggled to stand up. Looking at Lin Chaotian indifferently, he said, ��Come on! What are you scared of?��


    Only then did Lin Chaotian know that he had been tricked!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to retaliate at all. Just now, he was just scaring him.


    And he was really scared!


    ��Damn it! Brat, you��re courting death!�� Lin Chaotian turned angry from embarrassment, a palm thrusting toward Ye Yuan again!

 Chapter 2493 - Who’s Faster!

    ��Die! Die! Die! Die for this ancestor! Damn thing, to actually dare trick this ancestor! This ancestor wants you dead!��


    Lin Chaotian practically went mad. One palm after another landed on Ye Yuan��s body.


    Each palm was stronger than the last, continuously without ceasing.


    Wood-attribute rule had a tenacious life force to begin with, stretching long and unbroken.


    His palm force was like a huge wave, scouring Ye Yuan��s body over and over again.


    Ye Yuan still did not fight back. He just gritted his teeth and persevered.


    His internal organs were practically almost shattered already.


    His body of steel had also been broken in many sections.


    But he still did not fight back!


    Pang Zhen three people had tears pouring down their faces, not even daring to look over.


    ��Alas! Alas! Alas! Your Excellency, you �� should fight back! I��m begging you, fight back!�� Pang Zhen used his fist to smash on the ground fiercely as he wept bitterly.


    By the side, Zhang Zhen��s expression flickered indeterminately.


    Even he was also somewhat envious of Pang Zhen three people.


    With such a brother, what did you need to ask for!


    Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to become Ye Yuan��s brother!


    ��Kneel for this ancestor!��


    All of a sudden, Lin Chaotian kicked Ye Yuan��s calf bone.


    It was only to hear a crack. Ye Yuan��s calf bone broke at the sound of it.


    However, he did not kneel!


    His complexion turned white from pain, but he still did not kneel down!


    ��Ptooey!��


    Ye Yuan spat a mouthful of blood, carrying Sword Dao will. Lin Chaotian actually could not evade it and had his face spat at.


    ��Lin Chaotian, you��ve vented it out too! But you��d best not touch some bottom-line! Making this Ye kneel down, you aren��t worthy!�� Ye Yuan��s words were icy-cold to the extreme.


    Lin Chaotian having his face spat at immediately flew into a great rage and said, ��If this ancestor insists on making you kneel?��


    ��Then �� at the risk of the three of them dying, this Ye will cut you down here too!�� Ye Yuan��s words did not carry the slightest emotion.


    Lin Chaotian��s gaze turned dark, furious but not speaking.


    He understood Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan was too proud!


    No matter what the circumstances, it was impossible for him to submit!


    Making Ye Yuan kneel, that was something absolutely impossible.


    He did not doubt Ye Yuan��s words at all.


    Because he knew that Ye Yuan would really do it!


    He only said that because he was extremely angry just now.


    Calming down at this time, he discovered that he had the tempo led by Ye Yuan a little instead.


    The teasing earlier made him burn with fury.


    But now, he felt rather disinterested!


    Ye Yuan this person could be killed, but he could not be humiliated!


    ��Humph! Now, have you decided how to choose?�� Lin Chaotian said with a cold snort.


    This was equivalent to him compromising!


    Zhang Zhen stared dumbfounded, his mouth agape. Ye Yuan was already almost dying. Yet, Lin Chaotian was actually stopping?


    This kind of feeble threat could be effective too?


    How could he know that Ye Yuan could not be killed at all!


    Even if he destroyed his physical body, it was useless too.


    Ye Yuan could not die!


    ��I��ve decided. I��ll save the two of them!�� Ye Yuan lifted his finger with difficulty and pointed towards Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and Wan Zhen.


    This time, he did not hesitate.


    Wan Zhen��s entire body shook and he said angrily, ��Your Excellency, I don��t need your help!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was also greatly enraged and said, ��Ye Yuan, this emperor doesn��t want you to save! Save them!��


    But Lin Chaotian laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� What bullshit brother! Pang Zhen boy, saw that? You��re not even a fart in his eyes!��


    Pang Zhen was covered in blood and similarly laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� How can a self-centered, despicable, and shameless villain like you, understand the feelings between us brothers? Your Excellency, well done!��


    He did not have any complaints about Ye Yuan!


    In reality, no matter who Ye Yuan saved, the other two would not complain.


    Just as Pang Zhen said, the feelings between them brothers, Lin Chaotian would never understand it.


    Because in Lin Chaotian��s eyes, there was only self interest!


    They could stab two knives into their ribs for their brothers, could throw away their lives, and could give everything up!


    This sort of feeling already penetrated deep into the bone marrow long ago.


    How could a cold-blooded person understand?


    On the contrary, not only would Pang Zhen not resent Ye Yuan, but he would also feet heartache for Ye Yuan instead.


    Because he knew how much courage Ye Yuan needed to make this decision!


    The pain in Ye Yuan��s heart was probably even more serious than the injuries on his body right now!


    Ye Yuan closed his eyes painfully and said, ��Brother, I��m sorry! I �� I only have two rule crystals!��


    The current Pang Zhen seemed to have forgotten the pain on his body, and he said with a loud laugh, ��My lord, thank you! It was a great honor for this Pang to be able to follow Your Excellency in this lifetime! It was you who taught me how to be an upright person! It was you who let me grow! In the next life, I hope that I can continue following Your Excellency!��


    Lin Chaotian discovered that his inciting act did not take any effect at all.


    He indeed could not quite understand why Pang Zhen was still loyal and devoted toward Ye Yuan under this kind of circumstances.


    Swoosh!


    A rule crystal flew toward Lin Chaotian.


    He reached his hand out and grabbed it in his hand.


    His face was full of joy.


    Fire rule crystal!


    ��Hahaha �� Fire rule crystal, really a good thing! The fire rule crystal being placed with Ancestor Fire that fool was really too wasteful! Now, this ancestor obtained the fire rule crystal. Even if I am facing Tian Qing, what do I have to fear?�� Lin Chaotian let out a burst of wild laughter after he obtained the fire rule crystal.


    What he wanted to obtain the most was the fire rule crystal.


    Wood begets fire!


    Obtaining the fire rule crystal, his strength would increase exponentially!


    Previously, he helped Ancestor Fire with wood-attribute power of rule, causing Fire Dance Frenzied Demon this move to become unbelievably strong.


    However, that was only because his application of wood-attribute rule reached a transcendent level.


    If he controlled wood-attribute rule and fire-attribute rule at the same time, what did Fire Dance Frenzied Demon count for?


    When the Heavenspan Mountain opened, one person could only refine one rule crystal.


    But, after Heavenly Dao Samsara, they could refine a second rule crystal!


    Mastering two great rules, Lin Chaotian��s strength would reach an extremely terrifying realm!


    ��Release them!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold yell.


    Lin Chaotian smiled slightly and waved his hand casually, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was directly swept in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan fired out a stream of divine essence, catching Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets.


    He did not care about his own injuries, immediately checking Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� body, and his expression could not help changing.


    Within Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets��s body, an incomparably powerful wood-attribute power of rule was hidden in the divine sea!


    Clearly, it was done by Lin Chaotian.


    As long as his mind stirred, this wood-attribute power of rule would immediately explode, blowing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets into smithereens.


    When Lin Chaotian saw this scene, he could not help but smile slightly and said, ��Huhu, gave up? See if it��s your sword that��s faster, or my thought that��s faster! Alright, there��s still a water-attribute rule crystal, hand it over!��


    Hearing this, Zhang Zhen��s entire body trembled. A look of wild ecstasy brimmed over on his face.


    The reason why he agreed with Lin Chaotian was for this rule crystal!


    What bullshit brotherhood, what loyalty? In front of Dao Ancestor, what did it count for?


    Ye Yuan took out the water rule crystal and threw it to Lin Chaotian without the slightest hesitation.


    Lin Chaotian was also full of joy.


    He and Zhang Zhen both swore a Heavenly Dao Oath. He would obtain a rule crystal and give it to Zhang Zhen.


    And when Zhang Zhen became a Dao Ancestor, he would pledge loyalty to him forever!


    He swept his sleeves grandly, sweeping the rule crystal over.


    But right at this time, his divine soul suddenly felt an intense stabbing pain, as if it was being pierced by ten thousand fine needles.


    In an instant, his consciousness fell into stagnation.

 Chapter 2494 - Breaking the Deadlock!

    Puu, puu, puu!


    It was also at this moment that Ye Yuan flicked his fingers repeatedly.


    Three streaks of sword energy penetrated into the three people��s bodies respectively.


    Following that, his divine essence did the leading. A powerful suction force swept Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen over.


    All of these were completed in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. Clearly, Ye Yuan had long already made a plan.


    Only all the way until this time did the water rule crystal land on the ground quietly.


    The change was too fast. Apart from Ye Yuan himself, everyone did not react to it.


    Even Pang Zhen and Wan Zhen themselves were also dumbfounded at this moment.


    Zhang Zhen was utterly dumbfounded by the side.


    He did not understand why Lin Chaotian did not make a move to stop it.


    With Lin Chaotian��s strength, he could definitely make it in time.


    But at this time, Lin Chaotian shook his head suddenly, only to feel a stabbing pain in his divine soul.


    He was taken aback, recovering to his senses.


    Divine soul attack!


    He could not help looking towards Ye Yuan and discovered that the people were actually all rescued, and his pupils could not help shrinking.


    ��DIE!��


    His thoughts stirred, and he was going to detonate the wood spirit divine essence within Pang Zhen��s body.


    However, Pang Zhen did not even move, not even an eyelid!


    Lin Chaotian��s heart thumped, being taken by surprise, and secretly thought that it was not good.


    How was this possible?


    His wood spirit divine essence was resolved so quickly?


    Ye Yuan��s means were also too heaven-defying, right?


    But currently, Ye Yuan��s pair of icy-cold eyes were currently looking over toward this side.


    ��No need to try! Your wood spirit divine essence has already been sealed by my sword energy. You can��t detonate it!�� Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Lin Chaotian had a look of shock on his face and said, ��This is impossible! How can you possibly do it within such a short time?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nothing is impossible! My law comprehensions are inferior to yours, but you��re far worse in quality of divine essence! You think that I suffered so many palms of yours in vain?��


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed wildly and he said in a solemn voice, ��You �� What on earth did you do?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That mouthful of blood essence was tainted with my chaos origin divinity in it! I handed a rule crystal over to you just to exchange one person over, it didn��t matter who. As long as someone comes over, I��ll naturally have a way of stopping you from making a move. So when I tossed out the second rule crystal, the chaos origin divinity turned into a soul sword and sneak attacked your divine soul, making you absent-minded temporarily. And this period of time is enough for me to inject sword energy into their bodies.��


    Everyone present was stunned from listening.


    This �� This was also too monstrous!


    Within such a short time, Ye Yuan actually thought of such a meticulous method, it was truly inconceivable!


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was hesitating to take action out of fear of damages, not daring to fight back.


    Who could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually making concessions in order to gain advantages, concealing his means!


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan had no choice but to hand over the rule crystals.


    Who could have thought that he was actually trying to grasp Lin Chaotian��s method!


    From start to end, Lin Chaotian thought that he held absolute dominance, thinking that it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to make a comeback.


    But Ye Yuan led the direction of the whole thing without him noticing it!


    By the time Lin Chaotian reacted, the situation had already completely reversed!


    Advancing gradually and entrenching himself at every step!


    Incredibly meticulous!


    Bizarre means!


    Lin Chaotian only felt that he was battling in magic with a monster, losing so thoroughly.


    This move was set up by him painstakingly over many years.


    Each detail involved, he took it into consideration.


    Ye Yuan was completely dealing with it passively.


    However, it was under such a passive situation that Ye Yuan thought of a solution so quickly.


    And reverse-schemed against Lin Chaotian, succeeding in breaking the deadlock!


    This sort of cunningness, this kind of means, it was truly undefeatable!


    Talking about this soul sword again, it was a utilization method of the chaos origin divinity that Ye Yuan found out.


    With regards to the chaos origin divinity, Ye Yuan understood too little.


    But its might was beyond all doubt.


    So, these few years, Ye Yuan had always been trying to unearth some of the chaos origin divinity��s functions.


    This origin divinity decomposition technique was one of the methods that Ye Yuan found out!


    Lin Chaotian this kind of old monster who had lived for so many years. His divine soul had long already reached the extreme.


    Although Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity was powerful, wanting to attack this level of powerhouse head-on, it was clearly rather inadequate.


    After all, nobody was a fool. Lin Chaotian knew that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was powerful, how could he possibly not take precautions?


    But, decomposing the origin divinity and hiding it in blood essence, incubating within Lin Chaotian��s body to suddenly launch a sneak attack, it was absolutely impossible for him to guard against.


    Sure enough, Lin Chaotian fell for it!


    He thought that Ye Yuan just spat in anger.


    But he did not know that failure was already destined at that time!


    Lin Chaotian opened his eyes wide. Until now, he still did not quite dare to believe it.


    He never planned on handing over the hostages to Ye Yuan at all!


    Just now, he planned to directly detonate the wood spirit divine essence and kill Profound Secrets and Wan Zhen.


    As for Pang Zhen, as long as he was around, Ye Yuan would not dare to be unbridled.


    He had determined Ye Yuan��s weakness, that was why there was the scheme this time.


    But, before he made his move, the hostages were already rescued.


    ��You �� You��re really a monster!�� Lin Chaotian only felt a chill run down his spine. This fellow in front of him was really too scary!


    Ye Yuan��s eyes gradually grew cold and he said, ��Is that so? Including chatting so much with you just now, my injuries have already recovered by 50% too! Now, you can go to hell!��


    Boom!


    His voice had yet to fade when Universe was already unleashed!


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed wildly, turning around and fleeing with a whoosh, merging into that main road.


    Ye Yuan did not pursue, but he bent down and stuffed a medicinal pill each for the three of them.


    Then he healed their injuries for them.


    Profound Secrets three people were too heavily injured. Furthermore, Lin Chaotian��s wood spirit divine essence was also just temporarily suppressed.


    If it was not removed in time, there was a danger to their lives.


    ��Your Excellency, i-ignore us! Go and kill that damn dog! Having obtained the fire rule crystals, he��ll definitely refine it right away! If you wait for him to refine it, he��ll be even harder to deal with!�� Pang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Shut up!��


    Pang Zhen was helpless and could only shut up.


    But in his heart, a warm current was flowing through.


    This was a brother; no need for more words.


    Lin Chaotian left, but Zhang Zhen did not.


    This sudden change rendered his entire person stupefied.


    He did not expect that Lin Chaotian actually did not even fight, directly slipping away.


    He was left alone, what to do?


    His gaze landed on the water rule crystal not far away.


    Greed overflowed from his eyes.


    But he just had the thought of moving when Ye Yuan��s devilish voice came over.


    ��If I were you, I��d stand there obediently and not think about anything. The more you think, the faster you��ll die!��


    Zhang Zhen��s entire body shook, his eyes full of unwillingness.


    Swoosh!


    He still moved!


    The temptation of Dao Ancestor was too great!


    Furthermore, it was death either way. So why not risk his life?


    Zhang Zhen��s speed was extremely fast. In a breath, he arrived in front of the water rule crystal.


    His gaze revealed a look of wild ecstasy.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan was scaring him.


    How could the wood-attribute divine essence that Dao Ancestor Life left behind be that easy to remove?


    However, just as his hand was about to touch the water rule crystal, a streak of cold light flashed past.


    Pffft!


    His hands were directly gone!

 Chapter 2495 - Who Is Number One?

    ��Ahhh!!��


    With a miserable scream, Zhang Zhen fell to the ground.


    From start to end, Ye Yuan never lifted his head once.


    Dealing with Zhang Zhen��s level of strength, it only needed a burst of sword energy and it was enough.


    He was only a foot away from the water rule crystal.


    Close at hand, but far away at the horizon!


    Zhang Zhen looked at the water rule crystal in front of him, still desperately crawling forward.


    He extended his severed arms, attempting to grab the water rule crystal.


    But right at this time, another streak of cold light flashed past.


    His two arms were gone.


    In the distance, came Ye Yuan��s icy-cold voice. Ye Yuan said, ��Man dies in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food! It��s just that you got to have a bottom-line as a person! Yesterday��s karmic cause, today��s karmic effect. Everything was you bringing trouble upon yourself!��


    Pang Zhen laughed wildly when he saw the situation and said, ��Hahaha �� Zhang Zhen, you also have this day! Gratifying! How gratifying!��


    Zhang Zhen was very smart. These few years, he did not deliberately be friendly with Pang Zhen.


    But some things, he would always do it thoughtlessly.


    He would let Pang Zhen see it or know about it by chance.


    In the course of time, Pang Zhen was firmly convinced of Zhang Zhen��s character.


    So along the way, he did not doubt Zhang Zhen at all.


    But in the end, he was still deceived by Zhang Zhen!


    He experienced a narrow shave with death, obtaining the Tear of Life.


    But in the end, it benefited Lin Chaotian!


    That burst of fury almost drove him crazy.


    Now, finally venting this frustration, how could he not be happy?


    Wan Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��Just now, you probably also didn��t expect that you��d have such an end, right? Serves you right!��


    Sword energy seeped into Zhang Zhen��s body through his wounds, overwhelming him to the point where he wished that he was dead.


    Despair!


    The disparity between him and Ye Yuan was too great!


    He also understood that Ye Yuan did it on purpose.


    Able to see, unable to eat!


    Nothing was more despairing than this.


    He was only a step away from Dao Ancestor.


    But he would never become a Dao Ancestor!


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and beckoned. The rule crystal flew into his hand.


    Zhang Zhen could only watch this scene, powerless to do anything.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan no longer cared about him, treating Pang Zhen and the rest dedicatedly.


    Zhang Zhen sprawled on the ground just like that, not daring to move.


    Ye Yuan��s action was too terrifying. Zhang Zhen did not have any possibility of running away at all.


    Currently, he was terrified to the extreme in his heart. The taste of awaiting death was not good.


    Time slowly trickled by. The wood spirit divine essence within the three people��s bodies, all were forced out of their bodies bit by bit by Ye Yuan.


    The three people��s injuries also gradually recovered.


    Pang Zhen��s severed limbs also slowly grew out under Ye Yuan��s treatment.


    ��Your Excellency, Lin Chaotian obtained the fire rule crystal. He��ll definitely refine it right away. Once he refined the fire rule crystal, his strength will definitely increase greatly,�� Pang Zhen said worriedly.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said coolly, ��His appetite is very big, but he has to be able to swallow it too. The scores between me and him should also be settled now. The three of you stand guard over me. I��ll go into closed-seclusion here.��


    ��Closed-seclusion?��


    The three people were stunned when he heard that.


    Others came to the Heavenspan Mountain in order to compete for the position of Dao Ancestor.


    Ye Yuan was exceptionally different, to actually come up the mountain to go into closed-seclusion and cultivate.


    Was this competing in cultivation speed with Dao Ancestors?


    One had to know, the time needed to refine a rule crystal was not considered long. At most one month and you could digest it fully.


    With Ye Yuan going into closed-seclusion now, could he surpass Lin Chaotian within a month?


    After Lin Chaotian refined the fire rule crystal, his strength would not be one plus one equals two so simple.


    Wood-attribute rule plus fire-attribute rule, the power produced was seriously too terrifying.


    Even if Ye Yuan went into closed-seclusion and broke through now, could he surpass Lin Chaotian who had two great rules gathered onto one body?


    The few people all felt rather baffled by Ye Yuan��s choice.


    Right now, the most important thing should be catching up to Lin Chaotian and not let him refine the rule crystal.


    However, Ye Yuan��s authority had long already penetrated deep into the marrow. Regarding his decision, the few people naturally would not resist.


    Ye Yuan made them stand guard, then they would stand guard.


    ��Your Excellency, what about this guy?�� Pang Zhen pointed at Zhang Zhen and said.


    ��I��ll leave him to you,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan knew that the one who hated Zhang Zhen the most was Pang Zhen.


    This opportunity to take revenge, he naturally had to leave it to Pang Zhen.


    Sure enough, Pang Zhen rubbed his fists and wiped his palms. His gaze when looking at Zhang Zhen was full of ill-intent.


    He had been stifling this frustration until now.


    After handing over this matter to him, Ye Yuan ignored him and started cultivating on his own.


    His sword energy already seeped through the body, destroying Zhang Zhen��s life force.


    With these three people��s strength, it was naturally impossible to let him run.


    Ye Yuan��s realm already reached the limit, it was impossible to make any more breakthroughs.


    What he wanted to break through was naturally law comprehension.


    Between time and space, these two great laws, Ye Yuan��s time law fell into a state of stagnation, but his spatial law became stronger and stronger.


    Before entering the Heavenspan Mountain, his spatial law actually already reached the level of rank five source.


    After entering the Heavenspan Mountain, the spatial law here was virtually the Heavenspan World��s supreme law.


    In this place, even Dao Ancestors were unable to teleport. It could be seen how powerful the spatial rule here was.


    Walking along the way, the spatial rule here was also of great inspiration to him.


    What he had to do now, was to pool all these inspirations together, then make a breakthrough.


    The realm of rule was already not far away.


    �� ��


    At the end of the road was a deep and quiet passageway.


    When Lin Chaotian saw this passage, he was immediately wildly elated.


    Outside of this passageway, it was impossible to refine rule crystals.


    To become a Dao Ancestor, you must enter this passageway to refine the rule crystal.


    But now, he was only a step away from becoming a Dao Ancestor a second time.


    He believed that as long as he became a Dao Ancestor again, his strength absolutely would not be inferior to Ye Yuan.


    Even if Ye Yuan could really break the shackles, it was also impossible for him to be weaker than Ye Yuan.


    Because his might was endowed by heaven.


    Thinking up to here, he gripped the fire rule crystal in his hand a little tighter.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��ll never be able to imagine how powerful this ancestor will be after possessing two great powers of rule! No matter how great your talent is, heaven is an obstacle that you��ll never be able to overcome.��


    Lin Chaotian laughed loudly as he entered the passageway.


    Time went by day by day, Lin Chaotian��s aura also grew with each passing day.


    A month later, Lin Chaotian��s imposing aura surged to the sky.


    A terrifying power of flames made his entire person look like a god.


    ��Hahaha �� This ancestor transformed from Dao Ancestor Life to Dao Ancestor Firespirit! I��m likely the number one person since ancient times! Ye Yuan, this ancestor wants to see how strong you are, and whether or not your divine soul can be shattered by this ancestor!��


    Lin Chaotian was incomparably wild at this time. He felt that he was unbelievably powerful.


    Ye Yuan��s bizarreness previously was utterly not worth mentioning under his power!


    With two great rules augmenting him, the position of Dao Ancestor descended. He already became the number one person in the world!


    It was just that he did not know that currently, spatial rule descended upon Ye Yuan. His entire person became incomparably illusory.

 Chapter 2496 - Humanity’s Number One Person!

    ��The second passageway opened! A-Another person corroborated their Dao and became an ancestor!��


    ��Ancestor Tian Qing has already become Dao Ancestor Destruction. Coupled with his own strength, he��s already absolutely invincible! I wonder who this second Dao Ancestor is!��


    ��Sigh, I hope that humanity can get a few more spots. Otherwise �� the days ahead will be tough to get by!��


    �� ��


    The struggle for Dao Ancestor was already nearing its end. Many Deva powerhouses already came out of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Those nine passageways, only by obtaining a rule crystal could one stay inside.


    The others were transported out automatically.


    Some people only entered the Heavenspan Mountain to try their luck.


    They could not obtain the rule crystal, so they fumbled for some lucky chances, and then came out.


    There were nine passageways above the void.


    When a passageway opened, a new Dao Ancestor was born.


    So far, only the first passageway had opened.


    And the one who walked out of it was precisely the divine race��s Ten-marks powerhouse, Tian Qing!


    Tian Qing refined the destruction crystal and became Dao Ancestor Destruction!


    This Dao Ancestor Destruction was on a completely different level from the previous Dao Ancestor Destruction.


    Ten-marks powerhouse plus destruction rule, he was simply capable of destroying any strongholds.


    The human powerhouses present virtually lost all hope.


    At present, the periphery of the Heavenspan Mountain was not just the powerhouses who entered the Heavenspan Mountain. Many people who did not enter the Heavenspan Mountain were also looking about.


    After all, the birth of new Dao Ancestors was an unprecedented grand occasion!


    Tian Qing currently had his eyes closed and was regulating his breathing when he saw a second passageway suddenly erupt with rays of brilliant light, and he could not help opening his eyes.


    He was also very curious about who would be the second to come out.


    A figure slowly walked out. A powerful flame rule was akin to the blazing sun high above in the sky, shining until everyone could not open their eyes.


    His appearance was as if the divine buddha was alive, illuminating the world.


    That astonishing bearing made everyone daunted at the sight of him!


    Seeing the arrival, Tian Qing could not help frowning.


    Clearly, this new Dao Ancestor Flame surprised him a little.


    ��I-It��s Dao Ancestor Life, Lin Chaotian! He �� He became the new Dao Ancestor Firespirit!��


    ��Damn it! How could it be him? He��s in possession of wood and fire, two great rules. After this �� who is still his match?��


    ��I didn��t expect that he actually became a Dao Ancestor a second time! Furthermore, he��s the most terrifying Dao Ancestor Firespirit!��


    �� ��


    Lin Chaotian��s appearance immediately caused a stir.


    This result was what they were not willing to see.


    Disregarding the divine race��s side, a person like Lin Chaotian becoming humanity��s number one person was absolutely a calamity and not a blessing to the human race!


    How could the human race who experienced the Doomsday Battle not understand this point?


    The corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Tian Qing and said, ��Tian Qing, you seem to be very surprised by this ancestor��s appearance?��


    The current Lin Chaotian no longer had that overcautious and timid mood.


    Facing Tian Qing, this divine race��s number one person, he exuded indescribable self-confidence.


    Tian Qing��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You seem to be very proud of yourself!��


    Lin Chaotian laughed loudly and said, ��Yes, this ancestor is really very pleased with myself right now! Tian Qing, didn��t you claim to be the divine race��s number one person? This ancestor currently really wants to see just how strong you are!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned.


    No one expected that Lin Chaotian would actually say such unbelievably domineering words.


    In the entire Doomsday Battle, he cowered in the rear, not daring to rear his head at all.


    But now, he was actually taking the initiative to provoke Tian Qing.


    Furthermore, the present Tian Qing was not the Tian Qing before anymore.


    He already became a Dao Ancestor!


    Everything came so suddenly.


    Two new Dao Ancestors were just born, and they were actually standing ready to cross swords.


    But many people present also saw it clearly, these two people��s victory or defeat would likely determine the arrangement of humanity and divine, two races, in the future!


    The divine race��s strongest versus the human race��s strongest!


    Even Tian Qing also did not think that Lin Chaotian would be so arrogant. He could not help laughing from extreme fury and said, ��Very good. This ancestor also wants to take a look at how much ability the new Dao Ancestor Firespirit has!��


    Heavenly Dao True Martial, Myriad Dao Annihilation!


    Boom!


    It was only to see Tian Qing threw a punch out ordinarily, carrying a biting cold fist wind, heading straight for Lin Chaotian.


    Myriad Dao Annihilation, this was the divine race��s most terrifying Heavenly Dao True Martial and not one of!


    One punch shattering myriad laws!


    Under this punch, Tian Qing was able to borrow the power of Heavenly Dao, and make all Dao laws return to tranquility!


    You could only take a beating!


    Moreover, this punch of his even fused the destruction rule that he just acquired.


    With this move, Tian Qing already unleashed 70% of his strength. It was unbelievably terrifying.


    His high regard for Lin Chaotian could also be seen.


    ��Heh, Myriad Dao Annihilation! Back then, this move made Shang Hang that guy suffer many hardships! However �� this ancestor isn��t a mediocre person like Shang Hang!��


    Lin Chaotian gave a cold laugh. Wood and fire, two kinds of power of rule, suddenly erupted from his body.


    Heaven Wielding Golden Crow! Myriad Fire Consecration!


    Only to see him hold his palm out, a large golden bird suddenly flew up.


    The moment this golden crow appeared, everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    They felt like they were about to melt!


    This kind of means was really more than ten times stronger compared to the Ancestor Fire back then!


    Even Tian Qing��s expression changed abruptly too.


    His Myriad Dao Annihilation was actually unable to slaughter this large golden crow!


    Boom!


    The two people��s peak collision reduced space to fragments.


    Many powerhouses, some powerhouses who were in the distance, were actually directly annihilated by this terrifying power!


    They had already gone far enough but still did not evade this fallout.


    Everyone��s complexion turned deathly pale, looking at this scene with incredible shock.


    Above the void, Lin Chaotian and Tian Qing each fell back several tens of thousands of feet. They were actually evenly matched in strength!


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted. He did not expect that the Lin Chaotian who became Dao Ancestor Firespirit was actually strong to such an extent.


    He already became a Dao Ancestor and was actually unable to take him down!


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right? What a move! Heaven Wielding Golden Crow! He��s the god of flames!��


    ��Wood and fire in perfect harmony, it��s truly boundlessly terrifying! Even Tian Qing actually can��t do anything to him!��


    ��This power is practically going to smash the sky already! I��m afraid that they are not far from Heavenly Dao anymore!��


    �� ��


    Shocked voices lingered on incessantly.


    The impact that the scene before their eyes brought to them, was seriously too strong.


    Previously, when Lin Chaotian was arrogant, they still held much disdain in their hearts.


    After all, Tian Qing��s might had long been deeply rooted in people��s hearts.


    But no one expected that Lin Chaotian was actually so strong!


    ��Hahaha �� How is it, Tian Qing? I, this Dao Ancestor Firespirit, can still enter your sights, right?�� Lin Chaotian looked at Tian Qing and said with a loud laugh.


    He had never felt so good before.


    Only a short while ago, the divine race was like a large mountain, pressing on his heart.


    But now, he could already stand up to Tian Qing as an equal!


    Furthermore, it was even under the situation where Tian Qing became a Dao Ancestor!


    He was already the well-deserved humanity��s number one person!


    Tian Qing��s gaze turned slightly dark, and he said, ��Very good! That��s right! You have the qualification to be on equal footing with this ancestor!��


    These words were tantamount to acknowledging Lin Chaotian��s status.


    Lin Chaotian laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��All of you, listen up! From now on, everyone of the human race, all will heed my orders! Whoever dares to disobey me will die!��

 Chapter 2497 - The Arrogant Lin Chaotian!

    ��This �� He��s going to unify the human race!��


    ��Listen to his orders? Then what about Lord Saint Azure?��


    ��Heh, can��t you tell yet? He��s targeting Lord Saint Azure!��


    �� ��


    A series of indignant voices immediately came from inside the crowd.


    Ye Yuan��s name of sainthood had long already spread throughout the human race.


    Everyone obeyed Lord Saint Azure��s orders spontaneously.


    But now, Lin Chaotian was oppressing people by force!


    He already considered himself to be humanity��s number one person!


    Tian Qing gave Lin Chaotian a glance and slowly retreated. Tian Qing did not speak.


    He would not care about the human race��s affairs.


    Lin Chaotian gave a cold snort and said, ��This ancestor knows what you all are thinking! After Ye Yuan comes out, this ancestor will personally suppress him! Not submitting, then it��s death! Not just Ye Yuan; all of humanity��s Dao Ancestors have to submit to this ancestor! In the future, there will be no other great Dao Ancestors! Only me, Lin Chaotian!��


    His words leaked overbearingness, reverberating throughout the sky.


    Heavenly Dao Samsara, it was already not the era where nine great Dao Ancestors existed side by side any longer.


    From now on, there was only Tian Qing and Lin Chaotian!


    As for Ye Yuan, Lin Chaotian did not take him seriously anymore.


    Being unkillable in the past, that was just because he was not strong enough.


    Now, he believed that he absolutely had the strength to kill Ye Yuan!


    The human powerhouses present dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    The present Lin Chaotian was too strong!


    Right at this time, the third passageway lit up!


    The third Dao Ancestor was born!


    Everyone��s gazes looked towards that passageway.


    ��I-It��s Sacred Ancestor High Priest!��


    ��He actually obtained the light crystal, becoming Dao Ancestor Light!��


    ��Not good, Lin Chaotian probably won��t let him off!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Sacred Ancestor High Priest, everyone��s gazes landed on Lin Chaotian naturally.


    Sure enough, the corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth curled slightly.


    Clearly, he harbored ill-intent!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was Ye Yuan��s man


    Now, he became Dao Ancestor, how could Lin Chaotian possibly let him off?


    ��Wing, come over and pay respects to this ancestor!�� Lin Chaotian��s words carried a sternness that brooked no intervention.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s brows furrowed, immediately getting annoyed.


    He was already a Dao Ancestor. And yet, there was actually someone who dared to speak to him like that?


    However, the moment his gaze landed on Lin Chaotian, his pupils could not help shrinking.


    This guy actually became the new Dao Ancestor Firespirit?


    Before Sacred Ancestor High Priest entered the Heavenspan Mountain, he was already a rule powerhouse!


    Now, he became Dao Ancestor Light. His strength was also a tyrannical existence among Dao Ancestors already.


    Lin Chaotian actually spoke to him like that. This made him very displeased.


    Combined with the previous grudges, how could Sacred Ancestor High Priest lower his head?


    ��Lin Chaotian, you��re regarding yourself too highly, right? Even if this ancestor pays respects, it won��t be your turn too!�� Sacred Ancestor High Priest said with a cold snort.


    But Lin Chaotian just smiled faintly and said, ��Is that so? Looks like you haven��t figured out the current situation yet!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest said disdainfully, ��The current situation is that I��m a Dao Ancestor too! After Ye Yuan returns, plus Treasure Pig, what do you count as?��


    Wing was very clear that he might not be Lin Chaotian��s match currently.


    But Ye Yuan already possessed Dao Ancestor-level strength to begin with.


    Coupled with Treasure Pig who could rival two great Dao Ancestors, their side was absolutely the strongest in the Heavenspan World!


    Therefore, he did not fear Lin Chaotian at all.


    However, Lin Chaotian just smiled faintly and said, ��You didn��t hear it earlier. Then this ancestor will repeat this sentence again! From now on, humanity will hold me in the highest esteem! All Dao Ancestors must submit to this ancestor! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest snorted coldly and said, ��Who the hell do you think you are? To also dare be conceited enough to proclaim supremacy? Bear the consequences yourself? Heh, this ancestor wants to see how I��ll bear the consequences!��


    Lin Chaotian nodded slightly and said, ��Okay, I��ll let you see how!��


    Finished talking, his figure moved, a palm already smacking over.


    Without that earth-shaking great battle just now, it was just an ordinary palm.


    In fact, people could not even feel the undulation of fire-attribute rule on Lin Chaotian��s body.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was unperturbed and not afraid. He just gave a cold snort, and similarly smacked a palm out.


    Immediately, a light rule power overflowed from his palm area.


    The terrifying energy undulation shocked the world!


    It was just that the powerhouses present all sighed slightly.


    Clearly, they were not optimistic about Sacred Ancestor High Priest.


    Bang!


    The two great Dao Ancestors exchanged a blow. Sacred Ancestor High Priest only felt a terrifying flame power directly penetrated his body and entered.


    ��Pffft!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, his figure directly flying out backward.


    One move and he was already seriously injured!


    Wing looked at Lin Chaotian in great shock and exclaimed, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    He was the same as Lin Chaotian, a Dao Ancestor. But the two people��s strengths were too far apart!


    Lin Chaotian said coolly, ��Nothing is impossible! Do you think that Ye Yuan and that pig will be able to save you? After he comes out, this ancestor will personally end him! Now, tell me your choice, submit, or die!��


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s gaze was gloomy, and he shouted coldly, ��Want this ancestor to submit to you? Dream on!��


    Lin Chaotian just shook his head slightly and let out a sigh as he said, ��You really won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin!��


    It was only to see his figure moved, appearing beside Sacred Ancestor High Priest as if out of thin air.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s hair stood on end, a feeling of extreme danger welling up in his heart.


    Instinctively, he was about to teleport away.


    Corroborating his Dao and becoming an ancestor, his application of spatial law had similarly reached the extreme.


    Furthermore, as Dao Ancestor Light, his movement technique was extremely fast to begin with.


    Between Dao Ancestor and Dao Ancestor, there was deterrence!


    Because among them, it was very hard to kill the other person.


    Otherwise, for so many years, it would also have been impossible for the nine great Dao Ancestors to get along peacefully.


    Evading this blow, Wing breathed a slight sigh of relief.


    However, right at this time, a voice exploded in his ears.


    ��It��s useless! You can��t escape in front of this ancestor!��


    No idea since when, Lin Chaotian actually caught up to him already!


    And he actually did not even know it!


    Terrifying!


    Too terrifying!


    How could this be?


    But he did not have time to think about it.


    Lin Chaotian��s palm was already imprinted onto his chest.


    ��Pffft!��


    Wing spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his entire innards like they were incinerated.


    This palm practically shattered his internal organs.


    Wing fell heavily to the ground, his aura weak, already unable to move.


    He looked at Lin Chaotian with a shocked face, full of unwillingness.


    Why?!


    Similarly a Dao Ancestor, why is Lin Chaotian so strong?


    Lin Chaotian stood with his hands behind his back. Trampling a foot on Wing��s face, he said with contempt, ��I��ll leave you your life first. The light crystal will be stored in your body first. After this ancestor kills Ye Yuan, I��ll send you guys off together!��


    Once a Dao Ancestor died, the rule crystal would condense anew.


    A new Dao Ancestor would also be born.


    It was just that in the last epoch, no Dao Ancestors died. There naturally also would not be changes in Dao Ancestors.


    But this era was different!


    He, Lin Chaotian, was too strong!


    Each and every one of the human race powerhouses present was dumbfounded with shock.


    They all did not expect that the disparity between Dao Ancestors would actually be so great!

 Chapter 2498 - : Unreasonable!

    The entire world fell deathly silent.


    Only the blood from Sacred Ancestor High Priest��s mouth gurgled as it kept flowing.


    His injuries were extremely serious, he was only left with a breath.


    Lin Chaotian��s fire-attribute power of rule was ravaging his body wantonly.


    ��This �� This is also too strong!��


    ��It��s over, Heavenspan World��s arrangement will really be changing in the future!��


    ��Damn it! In the future, we can only submit to him!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure was too wilful! He was actually not willing to become a Dao Ancestor. So how can he possibly be Lin Chaotian��s match?��


    �� ��


    Hearing everyone��s discussion, Lin Chaotian was seriously pleased with himself.


    He understood awe and fear, these two words, very well. Since ��awe�� could not be achieved, then let people ��fear.��


    Strength was everything!


    Time passed little by little. Very soon, the fourth passageway lit up.


    Yue Mengli walked out of it!


    Currently, her body was augmented by wind rule.


    She already became Dao Ancestor Storm!


    Her appearance naturally added a powerful balancing weight to the divine race.


    Two mighty Ten-marks powerhouses became Dao Ancestors at the same time, the human race would naturally have a hard time.


    Of course, this was not the main point.


    The main point was, there was still internal strife on the human race��s side!


    When Yue Mengli saw the seriously injured Sacred Ancestor High Priest, her brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    Arriving at Tian Qing��s side, Tian Qing whispered a few words in her ear. She could not help revealing a look of surprise, looking towards Lin Chaotian.


    Before long, the fifth Dao Ancestor appeared.


    The fifth Dao Ancestor was still the divine race.


    The Earth Lineage��s Bo Yi became Dao Ancestor Darkness.


    The sixth Dao Ancestor was still the divine race!


    The Profound Lineage��s progenitor, Originsmile, became Dao Ancestor Earth.


    At this point, the divine race already occupied four out of the nine great Dao Ancestors!


    Humanity��s two great Dao Ancestors still had one who was seriously injured on the verge of death!


    Humanity��s powerhouses virtually lost all hope.


    Even Lin Chaotian��s expression did not look good either.


    It was true that he was strong, but if this situation continued developing at this rate, it would be difficult for him to salvage the situation alone!


    Tian Qing and Yue Mengli were both existences not inferior to him.


    Furthermore, the divine race��s progenitors were extremely powerful in their own right.


    Becoming Dao Ancestors again, their strength soared. It was not what humanity could compare to at all.


    Soon after, the seventh Dao Ancestor appeared!


    This time, it was finally humanity��s turn!


    However, this seventh Dao Ancestor exceeded everyone��s expectations. He was not a former Dao Ancestor, but a newcomer!


    This person was originally Ancestor Fire��s subordinate called Wang Cheng.


    He did not expect that with Ancestor Fire��s fall, Wang Cheng actually became Dao Ancestor Lightning!


    Having just become a Dao Ancestor, Wang Cheng was full of high spirits too.


    But right at this time, Lin Chaotian opened his mouth.


    ��Wang Cheng, from now on, I reign supreme over the human race! Come over and offer greetings to this ancestor, or �� die!�� Lin Chaotian said coolly.


    Wang Cheng��s expression changed and he instinctively wanted to blow his top.


    He already became a Dao Ancestor and actually still had to be a dog for Lin Chaotian?


    But right then, he saw the injured Sacred Ancestor High Priest not far away from Lin Chaotian, and his pupils could not help shrinking.


    How could he not tell that Sacred Ancestor High Priest already corroborated his Dao and became ancestor?


    But he was actually beaten until like this!


    Furthermore, Sacred Ancestor High Priest was even a grand ancestor who corroborated his Dao, his strength significantly stronger than his.


    Linking it to Lin Chaotian��s relationship with Ye Yuan, Wang Cheng immediately hesitated.


    Seeing Wang Cheng hesitated, Lin Chaotian said with a cold snort, ��You don��t need to have any doubts. He was taken down by this ancestor! If you don��t believe me, you can come and give it a try too.��


    Wang Cheng��s expression changed wildly, already having a plan in his heart. He smiled awkwardly and said, ��Y-You got to be kidding! You��re a senior, unifying the human race is ought to be! From now on, Wang Cheng will follow Dao Ancestor Firespirit��s lead!��


    Finished saying, he arrived in front of Lin Chaotian with a flash and bowed in salute.


    Lin Chaotian revealed a playful look and said, ��At least you��re sensible!��


    Wang Cheng said with a flattering expression, ��Huhu, even the Ancestor Fire back then wasn��t Brother Chaotian��s match too. I, this junior, newly corroborated my Dao and took the position of Dao Ancestor. How can I dare to be impudent in front of you?��


    This Wang Cheng already treated himself as Lin Chaotian��s lackey very consciously.


    As for everyone��s contemptuous gazes, he directly ignored it.


    What did the scorn of ants count for?


    Although the present situation was very different from what he expected, he was invincible under Lin Chaotian!


    Wang Cheng was a clever person and also a sly person.


    He understood that now, the situation was already not what it used to be.


    Times had already changed!


    Dao Ancestors might not be able to disregard everything too!


    Putting Lin Chaotian aside, those few divine race Dao Ancestors opposite, any random one that came out could trample on him!


    Finding a powerful backer was naturally the most reliable.


    Lin Chaotian nodded his head with satisfaction and said, ��Mn, a lot of the people around Ye Yuan have already come out. Go and get them all docile and obedient! When Ye Yuan comes out, this ancestor will make you regret being born in this world!��


    Wang Cheng��s eyes lit up and he said, ��Brother Chaotian is mighty!��


    Currently, Long Yi, Bai Chen, and the rest, already came out of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Seeing Lin Chaotian��s domineering appearance, each and every one of them dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    At the same time, they faintly started to get worried.


    After all, the current Lin Chaotian was too strong!


    Reaching Dao Ancestor this realm, even improving one��s strength by a tiny bit was extremely difficult.


    It was true that Ye Yuan was strong.


    But he had also reached the bottleneck.


    Could he still surpass Lin Chaotian?


    Wang Cheng having received the order, looking toward Long Yi and the rest with ill-intent. The expressions of the latter changed greatly.


    �� ��


    In the Heavenspan Mountain, a powerful rule power suddenly descended.


    Feeling this vast rule power, they were all moved.


    The might of this power made them not dare to look directly at it!


    ��Is this spatial rule? Indeed ridiculously strong! It feels like within this space, His Excellency can kill me with a single thought!�� Pang Zhen exclaimed.


    Profound Secrets had a shocked face as he said, ��Back then, when Senior Shang Hang corroborated his Dao as a grand ancestor, the undulations were also not so strong! Looks like he really has hope of defeating Lin Chaotian!��


    When the trio saw this intense rule undulation, they could not help becoming more hopeful.


    But right at this time, another power of rule descended!


    Pang Zhen was dumbstruck with amazement and said, ��T-Time rule! When did power of rules become so easy to comprehend?��


    Laws reaching rule, this step seemed to only be a difference of a word.


    But the effort and time required could not be calculated at all.


    Too difficult!!


    For ten billion years, no one had been able to step into the realm of rule!


    Just based on this, it was sufficient to explain everything.


    But Ye Yuan broke through two great power of rules at the same time in a short one month��s time!


    Such freakishness, even if they understood Ye Yuan extremely well, they were also shocked speechless.


    Furthermore, the two great rules that Ye Yuan comprehended, were even the supreme laws, time and space, two great laws!


    However, his voice had yet to fade when dense auspicious clouds gathered above the gray fog!


    Another two power of rules!


    The three people exchanged glances, already unable to describe the shock in their hearts currently.


    Four power of rules!


    ��This �� This is really unreasonable! Time, space, Formation Dao, Alchemy Dao, four great rules breaking through at the same time. This is really unprecedented and unrepeatable!��


    Even with Wan Zhen��s calm personality, he was also dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan at this time.

 Chapter 2499 - Was There Your Contribution?

    Outside of the Heavenspan Mountain, the eighth passageway already opened.


    The eighth Dao Ancestor, that was Dao Ancestor Life, was ultimately obtained by the divine race��s World Lineage��s progenitor, Cheng Kui.


    So far, out of nine great Dao Ancestors, the divine race occupied five of them!


    Humanity only had a scanty three people!


    However, due to Lin Chaotian��s sudden emergence to the fore, although the human race was weak, the divine race did not take advantage of the situation to enter.


    But on humanity��s side, it was very chaotic.


    Under Wang Cheng��s feet, laid a group of powerhouses who collapsed on the ground, their appearances very miserable.


    These people were all people who followed Ye Yuan.


    Long Yi, Bai Chen, Ni Xuan, and the rest were all beaten until they were severely wounded and vomiting blood.


    Some people had all the bones in their bodies broken, white bones visible at the wound areas, the whole course very miserable.


    However, this group of people was surprisingly silent.


    Even when seriously injured and dying, these people all did not make a sound.


    Wang Cheng also felt very bored after he finished teaching these people a lesson.


    He did not experience the pleasure of teaching people a lesson.


    He tried to force these people to beg for mercy, but no one begged him for mercy.


    Rather die than surrender!


    ��Pooh! A bunch of madmen!��


    Wang Cheng spat and said with a sneer, ��You fools, still counting on Ye Yuan to be able to save you guys? Heh, when he comes out, he��ll probably be unable to even fend for himself! The era of Saint Azure will become the past very soon!��


    After he came out, he already had an understanding of Lin Chaotian��s strength.


    Lin Chaotian actually fought to a draw with Tian Qing after corroborating his Dao. This made him have extremely strong confidence in Lin Chaotian.


    ��Pooh! Shameless villain! If you have the ability, go and act wildly to the divine race! Only know how to show off your power to your own people! Such an impressive Dao Ancestor!�� Ni Xuan spat.


    He was someone with great integrity. Otherwise, he also would not have become humanity��s chief commander back then.


    Now, seeing Wang Cheng��s shameless face, his lungs almost exploded from anger.


    Crack!


    Wang Cheng broke Ni Xuan��s arms like lightning, causing him to howl with pain.


    Seeing Ni Xuan��s painful expression, Wang Cheng had a look of delight as he said, ��Heh, stubborn mouth! When Ye Yuan that fellow comes out, let you all take a good look at his dead dog appearance! At that time, I��ll send you all off together!��


    Suddenly, the last passageway suddenly lit up.


    The ninth Dao Ancestor was born!


    Everyone��s gazes focused on the ninth passageway.


    The last Dao Ancestor Watersource, wonder who has this great destiny!��


    Very soon, a figure slowly walked out.


    ��It��s him!��


    ��Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets! He �� He finally became a Dao Ancestor!��


    ��Not good! With Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets becoming a Dao Ancestor means that Saint Azure didn��t become a Dao Ancestor! Lin Chaotian won��t let him off!��


    �� ��


    Profound Secrets becoming ancestor was in favor with the general public.


    The powerhouses present all knew the contributions he made to the human race over the years.


    However, after the pleasant surprise, there were deep concerns.


    Lin Chaotian currently had aggressive arrogance that billowed to the sky. Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was Saint Azure��s people. Hence, Lin Chaotian definitely would not let him off.


    Seeing Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets appear, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Lin Chaotian��s mouth.


    This Ye Yuan was really a stubborn child!


    He probably did not know how strong he had become after he became Dao Ancestor Firespirit, right?


    Before this, Lin Chaotian was actually still a little worried.


    If Ye Yuan fused with the water rule crystal and became Dao Ancestor Watersource, he would really pose a considerable threat to him.


    It was just that when he thought back, with Ye Yuan��s character, since he said that, it was definitely not shooting at a nonexistent target.


    Currently, it was indeed the case.


    At this very moment, Lin Chaotian��s last bit of worry also dissipated with the wind.


    What remained was settling the scores!


    The moment Profound Secrets exited the passageway, his gaze could not help turning intent. A piercing cold killing intent surged straight to the sky.


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest was seriously injured on the verge of death!


    Long Yi had a large hole in his chest, seriously injured!


    Bai Chen had an arm that went missing!


    Ni Xuan��s arms were forcefully broken!


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s line of people was all extremely miserable at this time.


    Not needing Lin Chaotian to instruct, Wang Cheng welcomed Profound Secrets, saying with a jeer, ��Profound Secrets, you��re also a Dao Ancestor now! Go over and pay respects to Brother Chaotian, and then apologize. Swear to be loyal to him. Maybe if he��s happy, the events in the past will be considered over. If you refuse to come to your senses, heh heh, they will be your outcome!��


    Profound Secrets glared at Wang Cheng and spat, ��Kapoot! Wang Cheng, you also became a Dao Ancestor powerhouse now, to actually be willing to be a dog! You��re barking really happily!


    Wang Cheng did not get angry and said smilingly, ��He who understands the times is a wise man! Profound Secrets, you��re a clever man too! Brother Chaotian corroborating his Dao and becoming a Dao Ancestor a second time, his strength is already exceedingly formidable. Even Progenitor Tian Qing can��t do anything to him either! When Ye Yuan comes out, his death date will be approaching!��


    When Profound Secrets heard that, his heart thumped.


    Hearing Wang Cheng, this meant that Lin Chaotian and Tian Qing had already fought. Furthermore, neither side had the better of the other?


    This was impressive!


    One had to know, Tian Qing also corroborated his Dao and became an ancestor a second time!


    Seeing that Profound Secrets�� expression changed, Wang Cheng was even more pleased with himself and said, ��Huhu, are you scared? That Sacred Ancestor High Priest couldn��t even last three moves under Brother Chaotian��s hands! Similarly being a Dao Ancestor, the disparity is too great! Therefore, following Brother Chaotian is the only way out! You��re a clever man, you should know how to choose, right?��


    ��Choose your mum!��


    Profound Secrets suddenly flew into a rage and could not resist bursting into a swear and said, ��Shameless thing! Get lost to one side for Your Father!��


    When Lin Chaotian heard that, he frowned slightly and said with a cold snort, ��Looks like you also won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin!��


    Finished talking, he was about to make a move to deal with Profound Secrets.


    Rumble ��


    Right at this time, the Heavenspan Mountain was in upheaval.


    One figure after another was transported out of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Those nine passageways also turned into nothing after Profound Secrets came out.


    ��Heavenly Dao Samsara ended! With nine great Dao Ancestors returning to their positions, the new epoch has begun!�� Tian Qing looked at this scene and said with an emotional sigh.


    Suddenly, a familiar figure landed in everyone��s eyes.


    When Lin Chaotian saw the arrival, the corners of his mouth could not help curling slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness.


    This person was precisely Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan returned, swept a glance over, and discovered the tragic states of Sacred Ancestor High Priest and the rest.


    A surge of fury welled up from his heart.


    ��Ye Yuan, this ancestor has waited very long for you! Huhu, if not for letting them witness your death, this ancestor would have long sent them on their way!�� Lin Chaotian stood with both hands behind his back as he said with a confident smile.


    ��You deserve death!�� Ye Yuan glared angrily as he said in a cold voice.


    ��Hahaha �� in this world, there��s nobody who deserves death or doesn��t deserve death! The weak is the original sin! You��re too weak! So, the one who deserves death is you!�� Lin Chaotian said with a loud laugh.


    ��Heh heh, Ye Yuan, Heavenly Dao Samsara ended, your era has also completely ended! From now on, it��s the dualistic era where Progenitor Tian Qing and Brother Chaotian exist side by side. You��re already behind the times! Originally, you had the opportunity to touch the sky. But unfortunately, you were too conceited and weren��t willing to refine the rule crystal. Now, you already have no chance!�� Wang Cheng burst into laughter when he saw the situation.


    At this time, it was clearly the best timing to pick sides.


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan turned to look at Wang Cheng, pointed at Ni Xuan and the others, and said in a cold voice, ��Was there your contribution in this?��

 Chapter 2500 - This Ancestor is Talking to You!

    ��Yes! Of course there was!��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s question, Wang Cheng could not resist being pleased with himself and said, ��That guy, that guy, and that guy, all were done by me! Why? You want to come to find me to take revenge? Hahaha �� what a joke!��


    Wang Cheng laughed very wildly, very arrogantly.


    He was already very sure that Ye Yuan was not Lin Chaotian��s match.


    Heavenly Dao Samsara was already over. The outcome was a foregone conclusion!


    Ye Yuan could only be eliminated by the times.


    Therefore, he did not care about Ye Yuan��s attitude at all.


    Not only did he not care, but he was also very proud of himself instead.


    The person who abused Saint Azure made him feel great!


    Not far away, Lin Chaotian also smiled as he said, ��Huhu, if you feel that you have the capability, you can very well take revenge on Wang Cheng under this ancestor��s eyelids!��


    Swoosh!


    Lin Chaotian��s voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s figure already disappeared.


    That speed already surpassed thought!


    Crack!


    Everyone still had not understood what was going on when they heard a brittle sound came over.


    ��ARGH! My �� My arm!�� Only after a breath, di Wang Chang��s pig-slaughter-like scream suddenly came out.


    Everyone followed the voice and looked over, and they could not help being filled with fear.


    It turned out that one of Wang Cheng��s arms had already been forcibly broken by Ye Yuan!


    Without the strength to fight back!


    A Dao Ancestor actually did not have the strength to fight back in front of Ye Yuan!


    Far away, came a series of sounds of cold air being sucked in.


    This bit earlier was seriously too fast, quickly until everyone did not react. Many people also looked at Lin Chaotian with strange expressions. He just finished talking and Wang Cheng��s bones were broken.


    This face was slapped too resoundingly. It was even more resounding than Wang Cheng��s screams.


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted slightly, having a look of surprise on his face.


    He also did not expect that things would actually have such a dramatic change.


    ��It will be easy to discuss things with you,�� Ye Yuan��s nonchalant words sounded out in Wang Cheng��s ears.


    Lin Chaotian��s eyes turned dark, a fiery-burning feeling on his face.


    The prestige that he had just established, was wiped away with Ye Yuan��s slap!


    Fury!


    ��Ye Yuan! Let Wang Cheng go! Otherwise, you��ll die very horribly!�� Lin Chaotian said in a chilly voice.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, he just said to Wang Cheng indifferently, ��The things that they suffered, you need to bear it ten-fold! Relax, you won��t die so quickly!��


    Wang Cheng was alarmed and enraged, his fear reaching the extreme.


    Just now, he did not see how Ye Yuan made his move at all.


    A Dao Ancestor could not see clearly how his opponent made his move.


    This sort of thing was simply too crazy, and too �� chilling!


    ��B-Brother Chaotian, s-save me!�� Wang Cheng endured the intense pain and shouted.


    Crack!


    Another crisp bone snapping sound.


    This time, everyone saw it clearly.


    Ye Yuan forcibly broke Wang Cheng��s other arm just like that.


    He did not employ divine essence, he just used the power of the fleshy body crudely.


    This kind of breaking was not fatal, but it made the physical body feel very painful.


    Wang Cheng��s scream lingered on incessantly.


    With this, Lin Chaotian was genuinely enraged.


    Ye Yuan actually dared to make light of him!


    ��Humph! Looks like you��re really seeking death!��


    Lin Chaotian gave a cold snort, his figure moving swiftly, suddenly thrusting a palm towards Ye Yuan.


    His speed was quick to the extreme.


    Being conferred ancestor a second time, Lin Chaotian��s improvement was all-around.


    Just in terms of the application of spatial law, he also far surpassed other Dao Ancestors.


    Boom!


    Lin Chaotian��s palm smacked onto Ye Yuan��s body.


    The corners of his mouth curled slightly. Sure enough, the current Ye Yuan was already not his match!


    A series of exclamations came from all around.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure slowly became illusory, akin to the moon��s reflection in the water, dissipating without a trace.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    At the same time, another scream came over.


    It turned out that Wang Cheng��s chest directly had a large hole opened up!


    It was forcibly punched through by Ye Yuan with one punch!


    The current Wang Cheng was miserable to the extreme, having cold sweat pouring profusely from pain.


    He only felt that every cell in his body was hurting from head to toe.


    ��Were you yelling for him to come to save you just now?�� A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    It was just that the smile was somewhat cold.


    Ye Yuan was really enraged!


    Lin Chaotian provoked his bottom-line time and again, making him reach the limit of his patience!


    Now, there was even a Wang Cheng who jumped out to bounce around.


    He naturally did not mind cleaning them up together.


    Looking at the Ye Yuan in front of him disappear bit by bit, Lin Chaotian��s eyes suddenly contracted.


    He was a little surprised in his heart.


    This disappearance was completely different from that strange disappearance in the pat.


    Was it possible that this boy already reached the realm of spatial rule?


    ��Damn it! This ancestor wants to see how much you can avoid! Endless Fire Hell!��


    Lin Chaotian was enraged too!


    It was only to see that the moment he released his law. It instantly turned into a sea of fire within a hundred miles.


    Ye Yuan as well as Sacred Ancestor High Priest and the others were shockingly encased inside.


    Wood and fire, two laws activated, the temperature of this sea of fire, was ten times more terrifying than the Fire Dance Frenzied Demon back then!


    In this sea of fire, ordinary Dao Ancestors would be incinerated into nothingness too.


    ��What a terrifying sea of fire! This �� This is the true Ancestor Fire!��


    ��Yeah! The former Ancestor Fire is simply like a baby when compared to Lin Chaotian!��


    ��It��s over! This is an indiscriminate attack! I��m afraid that Lord Saint Azure is unable to escape, right? Even if he can escape, those friends of his likely can��t escape too!��


    �� ��


    The moment the sea of fire appeared, everyone��s expressions changed wildly.


    Even Tian Qing��s gaze also flashed slightly.


    Clearly, the power of this fire sea made him view it in a different light.


    But at this time, an indifferent voice came from beyond a hundred miles away.


    ��Kneel down!��


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    The sound of two bones cracking came over, Wang Cheng directly knelt down.


    And opposite him was Ni Xuan and the rest.


    Lin Chaotian��s eyes immediately became wide-saucers.


    ��He �� How did he escape? This is impossible! My Endless Fire Hell doesn��t have a dead angle at all! Even if he reached the realm of spatial rule, it��s impossible to escape too!�� Lin Chaotian looked at this scene, full of shock and disbelief.


    This sea of fire was vastly different from an ordinary sea of fire.


    Even if you escaped into the void, the sea of fire could burn you too.


    This move was an indiscriminate attack!


    But this formidable move was actually dodged by Ye Yuan so casually?


    Lin Chaotian was full of puzzlement in his heart!


    Wang Cheng��s knee bones had already been completely crushed and he could not help kneeling down in front of Ni Xuan and the others.


    Seeing this scene, Ni Xuan and the others felt incomparably delighted.


    Previously, Wang Cheng��s lackey appearance was still vivid in their minds.


    Now, he was finally taken care of by Ye Yuan!


    So what if Dao Ancestor?


    ��Apologize!�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, his words carrying a majesty that brooked no intervention.


    Wang Cheng broke down!


    He discovered to his dismay that Lin Chaotian could not save him at all!


    In fact, he was almost killed by Lin Chaotian indiscriminately just now!


    He appeared outside of the sea of fire bafflingly.


    ��I �� I was wrong! Your Excellencies, j-just treat this lowly one as a far and let me off!�� Wang Cheng said to the few people with tears and snorts running down his face.


    But right then, a terrifying to the extreme power of rule surged to the sky behind everybody.


    This power made everyone feel despair!


    ��Ye Yuan! This ancestor is talking to you, are you deaf?�� Lin Chaotian bellowed angrily.

 Chapter 2501 - Playing with Fire, You’re No Good!

    Lin Chaotian��s right hand had a cluster of pale white flames, emitting a buzzing sound.


    Just looking at it gave people a scorching hot feeling.


    In his left hand, a bluster of black flames jumped irregularly, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.


    Two clusters of flames made everyone present, including Tian Qing and Yue Mengli, have a feeling of incredible danger.


    ��Those are Cangli Heavenly Fire and Nihility Karmic Fire! In the legends, they are the strongest fire seedlings of fire-attribute rule! Among these two flames, one is incomparably blazing hot and can incinerate all things. The other is dark and deep and can crush all thoughts! Two flames, one ethereal and one corporeal, they can burn everything! These two flames are both legendary flames! I didn��t expect that he��s able to condense them as soon as he became a Dao Ancestor!�� Tian Qing said gloomily.


    His eyes also exuded dread.


    Becoming a Dao Ancestor, there were really not many existences capable of making him apprehensive anymore.


    These two clusters of flames were one of the few existences.


    In his heart, he already acknowledged Lin Chaotian as his opponent.


    Yue Mengli��s brows furrowed slightly and she said worriedly, ��Then Ye Yuan he ����


    Tian Qing nodded and said, ��The Nihility Karmic Fire isn��t like these corporeal flames. It��s incredibly harmful to the divine soul. Even if it��s this ancestor, if I get hit by the Nihility Karmic Fire, the chances of survival are very slim too! Ye Yuan��s divine soul is very strange, but wanting to resist the Nihility Karmic Fire, I��m afraid that it isn��t realistic. No wonder this guy dared to proclaim to reign supreme over the human race, these words weren��t bragging!��


    Yue Mengli��s expression changed slightly and she instinctively wanted to make a move but was grabbed hold of by Tian Qing.


    It was only to hear him say indifferently, ��If he wants to kill Ye Yuan, I��m afraid that it isn��t enough yet. But if Ye Yuan is seriously injured on the verge of death, this ancestor will make a move.��


    ��Heh heh, dodge, dodge, dodge! Dodging when at Deva Realm, now that you achieved Grand Ancestor Realm you��re still dodging! Ye Yuan, just the likes of your cowardly appearance, you also dare to call yourself Saint Azure in vain? You are merely a coward!�� Lin Chaotian had a contorted expression as he said with a sneer.


    Ye Yuan still did not turn back and suddenly pointed with his fingertip.


    A streak of sword energy penetrated into Wang Cheng��s body, snuffing out his life force.


    Wang Cheng��s pupils were currently turning lax.


    He never dreamed that he would die just after becoming a Dao Ancestor!


    Perhaps he was the saddest Dao Ancestor in history, right?


    One silk thread after another gushed out of Wang Cheng��s body.


    Finally, they condensed into a light blue stone.


    Rule crystal!


    Ye Yuan casually picked up the rule crystal and threw it to the Pang Zhen who was not far away, and said coolly, ��This position of Ancestor Lightning is more suitable for you.��


    Pang Zhen looked at the rule crystal in his hand, his brain somewhat short-circuiting.


    This �� Did a pie drop from the sky?


    No, wait, this was the pie that His Excellency gave to him!


    Heavenly Dao Samsara already closed, but he actually obtained a chance to become Dao Ancestor!


    At this moment, countless envious gazes were cast towards him.


    With Heavenly Dao Samsara closing, whoever refined a rule crystal would be a Dao Ancestor!


    It was just that, wanting to kill a Dao Ancestor was easier said than done!


    However, Ye Yuan killed one casually just like that!


    ��Ye Yuan, this �� this �� better give it to Wan Zhen!�� Pang Zhen was rather excited but still did not lose his senses as he looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Wan Zhen��s expression turned dark, and he said, ��His Excellency said to give it to you, so just take it! What nonsense is this!��


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��His path isn��t suitable to become Dao Ancestor! Later on, I��ll help him customize his path of cultivation. In the future, when his Five Element Laws reach the realm of rule at the same time, what would Dao Ancestors count for?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone revealed shocked expressions.


    Wan Zhen himself was even agitated until his heart was almost jumping out.


    With regards to the future of the people around him, Ye Yuan had naturally considered it.


    Pang Zhen specialized in the path of lightning, his best outlet was naturally becoming a Dao Ancestor.


    Furthermore, it was Dao Ancestor Lightning!


    Actually, before leaving the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan already had the idea of killing people.


    It was just that at that time, he still did not know who was Dao Ancestor Lightning.


    Now, it was just nice that there was Wang Cheng who came out to jump around. He naturally would not be courteous.


    What Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets learned was too heterogeneous and the Dao of Divination was too illusory and vague, Ye Yuan had no clue as to how to proceed too.


    Therefore, a Dao Ancestor Watersource was naturally most suitable for him.


    As for Wan Zhen, he naturally had to follow the path of Five Elements to corroborate his Dao!


    He could expedite the birth of 18 grand ancestors with array formations. So what was hard about making Wan Zhen become Grand Ancestor Five Elements?


    Moreover, his present Formation Dao already reached the realm of rule!


    The array formations that he laid down now were god knows how many times stronger than back then!


    It was just that he had always been overwhelmed by the matter of the Doomsday Battle previously until he could not breathe. He naturally did not have time to set up array formations too.


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said, ��You look at that fellow. He only mastered two power of rules and haven��t fused them yet and is already so strong! In the future, your achievements will likely be above Tian Qing��s!��


    Who he was referring to was naturally Lin Chaotian.


    At this time, Lin Chaotian currently had such bluster that it billowed to the sky. Two clusters of shocking flames made everyone give sidelong glances.


    But Ye Yuan ignored him.


    This kind of contempt, probably even a fool could see it.


    It was just that everyone did not understand where his confidence came from!


    One had to know, this one ethereal flame and one corporeal flame, they made even Tian Qing incredibly fearful!


    Lin Chaotian cussed Ye Yuan for being a coward, but Ye Yuan completely ignored him.


    This kind of slighting finally made Lin Chaotian unbelievably angry!


    ��Damn thing! It��s you who are seeking death yourself! You can��t blame this ancestor! Go to hell for me!��


    Lin Chaotian gave a roar, Cangli Heavenly Fire and Nihility Karmic Fire being released at the same time!


    Places that the two clusters of flames passed through, two long trails were actually drawn out.


    The void was being burned!


    It was currently right beside the Heavenspan Mountain, space was extremely stable. Being able to burn the space, it could be seen how terrifying these two clusters of flames were!


    Two clusters of flames carried Lin Chaotian��s fury and headed straight for Ye Yuan.


    But it was like Ye Yuan did not see it, still talking away to Pang Zhen without any care.


    ��Hahaha �� Cangli Heavenly Fire and Nihility Karmic Fire are like bone-infesting maggots! Wherever you go, they will follow there! This ancestor wants to see where you run!�� Lin Chaotian laughed wildly as he said.


    When Pang Zhen saw that Ye Yuan was completely clueless, his expression changed slightly as he warned, ��Be careful, Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan seemed to be oblivious and still said to Wan Zhen, ��Five rules fusing, heh heh, even thinking about it makes people somewhat look forward to it! If you succeed, our human race will be able to suppress the myriad races forever!��


    Ye Yuan had a look of excitement, but the others all had their hearts leap to their throats!


    Wan Zhen��s expression changed drastically and he bellowed, ��Your Excellency! Fire!��


    As he said, the two clusters of flames already arrived before Ye Yuan.


    Lin Chaotian saw that Ye Yuan actually did not avoid it and could not help saying with wild elation, ��Fool! You��re also too careless!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two flames virtually landed on Ye Yuan��s body at the same time.


    The Nihility Karmic Fire burrowed into Ye Yuan��s body with a whoosh.


    While the Cangli Heavenly Fire burned on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Hahaha �� die! Foolish fellow, you��ve avoided for so many years! But in the end, you actually didn��t dodge! You really deserve this!�� Lin Chaotian said with a wild laugh when he saw the situation.


    However, amidst the flames, a voice came out faintly, ��Playing with fire, you��re no good!��

 Chapter 2502 - You Seem to be Scared!

    Under the watchful gazes of the people, the Cangli Heavenly Fire on Ye Yuan��s body gradually extinguished.


    As for that terrifying Nihility Karmic Fire, it was akin to a rock falling into the sea; not stirring up any waves at all.


    Recalling back then, that unknown existence��s Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire did not even refine Ye Yuan, and let Ye Yuan achieve the chaos origin divinity instead.


    Although the Nihility Karmic Fire was strong, compared to the Eight Extreme Heavenly Fire, it was worlds apart. How could it threaten the present Ye Yuan?


    This Nihility Karmic Fire was a joke!


    And Ye Yuan��s physical body was the limit of existence in the Heavenspan World.


    The Dragon Clan��s paramount cultivation method coupled with the perfect Nine Transformations Golden Body, was there any kind of flame in this world that could incinerate him?


    Furthermore, talking about playing with fire, Ye Yuan was the ancestor of playing with fire!


    Although he did not cultivate fire-attribute law and was unable to condense all kinds of terrifying flames.


    His fire controlling technique had long already reached the acme of perfection.


    Wanting to use fire to burn him was easier said than done!


    Originally, everyone was doubtful and trying to guess what kind of means Ye Yuan would use to face these two mighty flames.


    But no one could have thought that he actually did not block them!


    He did not care at all!


    Tian Qing had an inert face and blinked his eyes fiercely, thinking that he had a misconception.


    ��He �� He��s actually completely unscathed! Completely unharmed! This �� How is this possible? Those are Cangli Heavenly Fire and Nihility Karmic Fire! He actually didn��t even employ divine essence? I��m not dreaming right?��


    He felt that his understanding had been seriously challenged.


    These two legendary flames could not be seen randomly.


    But the result was too surprising.


    ��I-It��s impossible, right? It was so far away and I even had a feeling of being evaporated just now. Yet, Lord Saint Azure he��s actually completely unscathed?��


    ��Two legendary flames and they were actually unable to make Lord Saint Azure take action?��


    ��It��s really too impressive! No wonder Lord Saint Azure kept on ignoring Lin Chaotian. It turns out that he really doesn��t care!��


    �� ��


    The powerhouses around were all marveling with admiration endlessly.


    Even if they did not understand the origins of these two mighty flames, they could also feel the horror of these two clusters of flames.


    But Ye Yuan��s casualness really shocked him.


    Of course, the one who was most shocked was none other than Lin Chaotian himself.


    He used his most terrifying means in a state of extreme fury.


    As a result, Ye Yuan did not even have any interest in making a move!


    How could this not frighten him?


    He was really scared!


    ��A-Are you the devil? This �� Even this and you are fine? Impossible! You �� You must be forcefully enduring it!�� Lin Chaotian bellowed.


    For the first time, Ye Yuan looked Lin Chaotian in the eye and said coolly, ��You �� seem to be scared!��


    Lin Chaotian��s expression changed and he said angrily, ��Scared? This ancestor is currently humanity��s number one person, the human race��s sovereign! Would I be scared of you, a guy who isn��t even a Dao Ancestor? Ye Yuan, if you have the capability, let��s fight upright and openly!��


    He was really scared!


    Anyone could tell that what he was yelling was threatening in manner but inwardly shaky.


    The feeling that Ye Yuan gave him was too strange!


    He boasted that he already understood Ye Yuan very well.


    But that scene earlier, he suddenly discovered his understanding of Ye Yuan was actually extremely limited.


    This person was always outside of your understanding!


    Each time, he felt that everything was under control.


    However, things never developed in the direction that he imagined.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian with interest and he said with a faint smile, ��Okay!��


    That smile carried indescribable contempt.


    Lin Chaotian was greatly triggered. Two power of rules surged frenziedly once more.


    ��Heaven Wielding Golden Crow! Myriad Fire Consecration!��


    Lin Chaotian roared, carried a large golden bird, and rushed toward Ye Yuan.


    The current Ye Yuan was still taking his own sweet time.


    It was only to see him reach his hand out and grab in the void. A transparent long sword impressively appeared in his hand.


    Seeing this scene, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.


    ��I-Is that sword a sword of void?��


    ��Insane! Really crazy! He �� He��s actually using space as a weapon!��


    ��This �� Can it still be played like this?��


    �� ��


    There were shocked voices all around.


    Tian Qing��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��The void as a sword, this boy indeed comprehended spatial rule! However, if it��s merely spatial rule, it��s not a great threat to this ancestor too!��


    He weighed it over and felt that he should not fear Ye Yuan.


    After all, back then when Shang Hang fused space and time, two great rules, Shang Hang could not do anything to him.


    Now, he corroborated his Dao to become an ancestor, his strength increased greatly.


    A Sword Dao rule, a spatial rule, was not enough to pose a threat to him.


    Swoosh!


    At this time, Ye Yuan finally moved!


    Only to see his figure flash, already arriving in front of the golden crow.


    Facing the human who provoked him so much, that golden crow roared, as if wanting to completely devour Ye Yuan.


    ��Roar!��


    The golden crow��s two wings shook, swallowing directly towards Ye Yuan.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly and he did not unleash some earth-shaking big move either, rushing straight for the golden crow.


    ��Chi! Chi! Chi!��


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint


    That golden crow was directly hacked into countless chunks, dissipating into nothing.


    ��This �� This ����


    Lin Chaotian opened his mouth wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    He relied on this move to reach a draw with Progenitor Tian Qing!


    In front of Ye Yuan, it actually did not even have excess strength to fight back?


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Is this the strength of humanity��s sovereign? Aren��t you afraid of people laughing their heads off by being the human race��s sovereign?��


    Lin Chaotian��s pupils constricted, finally revealing a fearful expression.


    He was not a fool. Ye Yuan��s casual mood was not a pretense!


    This guy was really impressive!


    Clearly, before this, his spatial law had not reached grand completion yet.


    In a short one month��s time, his spatial law actually reached the realm of rule!


    With Sword Dao rule and spatial rule fusing, the current Ye Yuan was too strong!


    This kind of strength was simply unreasonably strong!


    At this time, Lin Chaotian finally wanted to back out.


    Swoosh!


    Lin Chaotian urged his divine essence to the extreme, running into the distance.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected it. His figure just swayed and he already blocked in front of Lin Chaotian.


    His teleport was much faster than Lin Chaotian��s movement technique.


    ��Why? Weren��t you very arrogant before? Didn��t you want to unify the human race? Is our human race��s sovereign running away?�� Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Lin Chaotian��s expression was indescribably ugly.


    He thought that after he became a Dao Ancestor, he would be able to tower above all of humanity.


    Who would have expected that in a short one month��s time, Ye Yuan actually became strong to such an extent!


    Suddenly, his gaze flickered and he took out a small crystal.


    Tear of Life!


    Lin Chaotian said in a stern voice, ��Ye Yuan, if you dare come over, this ancestor will crush it! The Tear of Life is a rule item. As long as it��s shattered, it will return to heaven and earth! Heh, this ancestor knows that this thing is very important to you. Just try if you dare to kill this ancestor!��


    This was his final trump card!

 Chapter 2503 - Reaping What You Sow!

    ��Oh? Is that so?��


    Facing Lin Chaotian��s threat, Ye Yuan was completely indifferent but moved closer forward instead.


    Lin Chaotian had a look of fear and repeatedly fell back as he said, ��You �� Don��t you come over! Walk over again and this ancestor will really crush it!��


    Ye Yuan was completely unmoved, continuing to close in.


    ��Lin Chaotian, you��ve also borrowed the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain away for very long already. It��s time to return to the original owner! Also, this Tear of Life, this Ye will accept it too!�� Ye Yuan had an indifferent look as if he was not afraid of the Tear of Life being crushed at all.


    Lin Chaotian fell back repeatedly, he was really frightened badly by Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s various bizarre divine abilities made him not even have the possibility of running away.


    However, Lin Chaotian was a ruthless person too.


    Under Ye Yuan��s coercion, Lin Chaotian suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��Is that so? Then if you have the ability, try taking the Tear of Life away from this ancestor��s hand!��


    Finished talking, Lin Chaotian gritted his teeth and exerted force with his hand, going to crush the Tear of Life.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan spat a word out of his voice very calmly.


    ��Immobilize!��


    Lin Chaotian��s body suddenly froze there.


    He desperately used strength and even used the two great rules.


    But it was as if everything stopped!


    His power of rule could not be transmitted to his hands at all.


    All of his strength seemed to be restrained.


    ��Heavenly Dao True Word! He �� His time law also reached the realm of rule?�� Tian Qing had an inert look, feeling like all of his understanding was being subverted.


    Within a month, Ye Yuan broke through these two great supreme laws to the realm of rule?


    He was speechless!


    In his view, Yue Mengli should be a rare talent whose accomplishments surpassed ancient and modern times.


    But Yue Mengli was nothing in front of Ye Yuan at all!


    Concerning Time Freeze, this move, Ye Yuan already had not used it for a long time.


    It was not that he did not want to use it, but that his opponents were too strong. This move already could not have much effect anymore.


    Although innate divine abilities were powerful, they also depended on who the opponent was.


    With Ye Yuan��s previous strength, going to immobilize a Dao Ancestor was equivalent to setting fire to himself.


    Under the power of rule, not only would he fail, it would even backlash back to him.


    But now, it was different!


    His spacetime law had similarly reached the realm of rule.


    His fleshy body realm also reached the limit of rank nine!


    Under such circumstances, unless the Dao Ancestor surpassed him.


    Otherwise, they would not be able to shake off his Heavenly Dao True Word too!


    At least, Lin Chaotian could not do it!


    Whoosh!


    A streak of sword light flashed past, Lin Chaotian��s arm was severed at the wrist.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, and the Tear of Life flew over.


    Getting the Tear of Life, Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, ��I tried and seem �� to have succeeded!��


    Lin Chaotian��s eyes went from shock to astonishment, then to horror.


    Spacetime law!


    Time, space, sword, three great laws, stepped into the realm of rule at the same time!


    He finally understood why Ye Yuan was so calm and composed.


    Because ha already completely surpassed the Grand Ancestor Spacetime Shang Hang back then!


    He was Saint Azure!


    He was the number one person throughout the ages!


    He was the true human race��s sovereign!


    Humanity��s sovereign had never been flaunted by oneself, but proved using strength!


    All of the powerhouses present fell into deep shock.


    Ye Yuan used his strength to astound three eras!


    At the start of this epoch, he sent a supreme Dao Ancestor who had just reached the peak into the dust!


    ��I didn��t expect that this Heavenly Dao Samsara actually had such an outcome!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is now really the number one person throughout the ages!��


    ��Thinking about it now, Lin Chaotian��s domineeringness previously was really laughable to the extreme!��


    �� ��


    Everyone shook their heads one after another. Lin Chaotian used strength to terrorize everyone.


    Not long ago, he was still so insufferably arrogant and unparalleledly tyrannical.


    He felt that Ye Yuan was utterly not worth mentioning in front of him.


    Saint Azure was about to become history.


    But now, reality slapped his face brutally.


    He was nothing in front of Ye Yuan!


    Only then did they understand why Ye Yuan disdained to refine the rule crystals.


    Because he did not need it at all!


    Three great laws fusing, this was indeed very amazing.


    But it was nothing in front of Dao Ancestors.


    Because these three Daos stepping into the realm of rule was virtually something impossible.


    However, Ye Yuan did it!


    Now, he had time, space, and sword, three Daos, step into the realm of rule at the same time!


    What did Dao Ancestors count for?


    Lin Chaotian finally broke free from the fetters of Heavenly Dao True Word. But his body was already drenched with sweat.


    Three great powers of rule were ravaging within his body.


    His severed wrist was still bleeding, unable to stop at all.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a horrified face and said, ��You �� You��re simply not human! H-How did you do it?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Chaotian and said coolly, ��Lin Chaotian, I won��t kill you!��


    Hearing this, Lin Chaotian was wildly ecstatic in his heart.


    He never thought that Ye Yuan would actually let him off!


    However, what Ye Yuan said next, made him feel like he fell into an ice cellar.


    ��Today, I��ll waste your cultivation! I��ll suppress you in front of the two race��s realm boundary market, and let you suffer the reviling of humanity endlessly! This humiliation was written by you. So you bear it yourself!��


    Finished talking, he did not wait for Lin Chaotian to react either. Ye Yuan executed the Heavenly Dao True Word again.


    Lin Chaotian was directly immobilized there.


    Then Ye Yuan smacked a palm towards his abdomen area.


    A terrifying power of law directly penetrated into his divine sea and shattered his small world into pieces.


    Ye Yuan struck extremely heavily. Lin Chaotian��s small world had already been completely destroyed and it would be absolutely impossible to regenerate again.


    Lin Chaotian had despair written all over his eyes. He glared at Ye Yuan and bellowed, ��You �� You��re the devil! Ye Yuan, I won��t let you off even if I become a ghost!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Then you��ll have to be able to become a ghost first! Return!��


    It was only to see him reach his hand out and beckon. The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain directly broke away from Lin Chaotian��s control and returned to Ye Yuan��s hand.


    These few years, although the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain had been in Lin Chaotian��s hands, he was unable to refine it at all.


    A precious treasure like the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was not what anybody could refine.


    Concerning Lin Chaotian��s outcome, Ye Yuan had long thought about it.


    His sins could not be paid off with a simple death.


    Facing the divine race��s invasion, Lin Chaotian only thought of his own interests and nearly doomed the human race for all of eternity.


    This sin needed him to go and repay himself!


    Currently, Lin Chaotian was still a Dao Ancestor, but he already did not have divine essence to display the power of rules.


    The current Lin Chaotian was like a baby walking through the downtown area while hugging a gold brick.


    In the crowd, there were already many people whose eyes turned green


    Dao Ancestor!


    Who did not want to become a Dao Ancestor?


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You all can beat or scold him, but you can��t kill him! I have another use for the fire rule crystal!��


    This sentence immediately extinguished everyone��s fantasies.


    Who dared not follow Ye Yuan��s words?


    Killing Lin Chaotian was easy. But even if they became Ancestor Fire, so what?


    Ye Yuan could kill them like killing a dog!


    This fire rule crystal, Ye Yuan was saving it for Fiery.


    Ever since Fiery left Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, he had been in closed-seclusion in his hidden place. Till today, he had not exited seclusion.


    But this fire rule crystal was naturally most suitable for him.

 Chapter 2504 - Taking Advantage of the Situation to Profit?

    Everything seemed to have already settled down.


    But right at this time, Tian Qing moved!


    The divine race��s five great Dao Ancestors flashed and surrounded Ye Yuan tightly!


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan did not seem to care and said indifferently, ��You guys can��t make me stay!��


    Tian Qing said in a solemn voice, ��I know! But this ancestor will use your human race��s trillions of lives as a bargaining chip to force you to have a battle with the five of us! If you don��t fight, the five of us will go on a killing spree!��


    The air suddenly went quiet!


    The human race powerhouses had not caught their breath yet and their nerves were immediately wound up tightly again.


    Tian Qing��s asphyxiating killing intent made everyone understand that this was not a joke!


    If Ye Yuan refused, Tian Qing would definitely go on a killing spree!


    The divine race��s five great Dao Ancestors combining forces, this line-up was too terrifying!


    Especially that there were also two great Ten-marks powerhouses among them!


    ��This �� What to do here? If it��s Tian Qing alone, it��s still alright. But they have two great Ten-marks Dao Ancestors!��


    ��Despicable! Shameless! How �� How can they use such a shameless method to force Lord Saint Azure?��


    ��It��s over! This time, it��s completely over! To fight is to die; not fighting is also death!��


    �� ��


    From start to end, the divine race��s pressure had always been there.


    The two great Ten-marks Dao Ancestors, no one could ignore their existence.


    The divine race��s top powerhouses were too strong!


    But no one expected that the divine race actually used such a despicable method to force Ye Yuan to answer the challenge.


    When Lin Chaotian saw this scene, he could not resist letting out a wild laugh as he said, ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, this time, I see how you��ll still be arrogant! Aren��t you very arrogant? Aren��t you very condescending? Aren��t you known as the number one person through the ages? Hahaha ����


    Lin Chaotian seemed to be in a crazed state, his face was full of delight.


    Ye Yuan crippled him, crippling all of his hopes!


    He hated Ye Yuan!


    He wished to eat Ye Yuan whole!


    Now, Ye Yuan aroused the divine race��s dread, not scrupling to use the common people of the world as a bargaining chip to force Ye Yuan to face the enemy head-on!


    This result was what he would like to see the most.


    He was not Ye Yuan��s match, but the divine race��s five ancestor added together was!


    The strengths of these five ancestors were above Dao Ancestors to begin with.


    Now that they corroborated their Dao to become ancestors, their strength could not be mentioned in the same breath even more.


    Ye Yuan would have to die!


    ��Noisy!�� Tian Qing gave a cold snort and conveniently flung a slap over. Lin Chaotian was directly struck until his mouth was full of blood.


    He wanted to laugh but could not laugh anymore.


    This scene seemed very comical.


    But nobody laughed.


    Because they could not laugh.


    The pressure brought by the five ancestors was too great.


    Right now, as long as Ye Yuan said a word of ��no,�� the five ancestors would definitely go on a massacre!


    Being surrounded by five ancestors, Ye Yuan was still very calm and said indifferently, ��Human and divine, two races, each occupying half of the world like this now. Is it not good?��


    Tian Qing frowned and said frankly, ��You make this ancestor afraid! Each day that you��re around, this ancestor will find it hard to eat and sleep!��


    After becoming Dao Ancestor, Tian Qing��s imposing aura that showed disdain for all under heaven had returned anew.


    He was confident that there was no one who could threaten him in this world anymore.


    Even if Lin Chaotian was conferred ancestor a second time, Tian Qing��s strength also skyrocketed. Lin Chaotian dreaded the latter too.


    But now, Tian Qing could not sit still any longer!


    The strength that Ye Yuan exhibited had somewhat gotten out of his control.


    He did not know whether Ye Yuan would become even stronger or not!


    At that time, it would simply be a devastating blow to the divine race!


    Ye Yuan turned to Yue Mengli and said, ��You want to fight too?��


    Yue Mengli hesitated for a bit, but in the end, she still nodded her head slowly.


    She was very agonized being caught in the middle.


    But she still chose to fight.


    Ye Yuan heaved a long sigh and said, ��Since that��s the case, let��s fight then!��


    Ye Yuan answering the challenge, the group of powerhouses heaved sighs of relief one after another.


    Sure enough, Lord Saint Azure��s name of sainthood was not in vain.


    But it was also merely letting out a sigh of relief.


    Not that they had no confidence in Ye Yuan, but that the strength of the five ancestors was too strong!


    ��No way! Are you bullying our human race for not having anyone? Since it��s a group battle, then count this ancestor in too!��


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets suddenly spoke up, his eyes sweeping toward the crowd and he said with a cold snort, ��When are the few of you going to be cowardly tortoises until?! If Ye Yuan is defeated, can you all stand aloof without paying attention to others?��


    The direction that Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets was looking at was precisely where the few former Dao Ancestors were at!


    They had their auras converged all along, hiding in the crowd.


    Among the previous generation Dao Ancestors, Ancestor Fire was dead, Ancestor Water was dead, and Lin Chaotian was crippled.


    In the Heavenspan Mountain, because of fighting for the rule crystals, Dao Ancestors Earth, Light, and Darkness were killed.


    But there were still three people there.


    They did not have that fate and failed to be conferred ancestor again this time.


    But they were former Dao Ancestors after all. Furthermore, after undergoing the baptism of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, they were Dao Ancestor-level powerhouses too.


    At this time, how could they keep out of the affair?


    In the crowd, the few great former Dao Ancestors were all silent.


    Suddenly, Dao Ancestor Destruction stepped forward and said smilingly, ��Want this ancestor to take action? Can! But I have a condition! The fire rule crystal is mine! Furthermore, you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath that after this, you��ll forgive this ancestor��s past misdeeds!��


    Dao Ancestor Destruction was not stupid either. He knew that even after obtaining the fire rule crystal, he was not Ye Yuan��s match too. So he took a preventive measure in advance.


    With him saying that, Ancestor Lightning and Ancestor Wind lost composure.


    While the human race powerhouses were in an uproar.


    ��Shameless! Really shameless! This guy is actually taking advantage of the situation at this time to profit!��


    ��Heh, really our fine Dao Ancestors! Why don��t he and Lin Chaotian go and die?��


    ��Taking a look now, it��s better for Dao Ancestors to be arranged by Lord Saint Azure! After all, the people that he brought out are all loyal and brave individuals!��


    �� ��


    Dao Ancestor Destruction��s actions immediately attracted a wave of scorn.


    It was just that he did not care!


    As long as he could be conferred ancestor a second time, he did not care what others thought at all!


    While Ancestor Lightning and Ancestor Wind were a little hesitant.


    After all, there was only a fire rule crystal that was vacant.


    Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets�� expression was livid as he shouted angrily, ��Hou Sheng, you despicable villain! Already at this point and you actually still wanted to loot a burning house!��


    Dao Ancestor Destruction smiled and said, ��Every man for himself! Moreover, this ancestor taking action is also for humanity��s cardinal principles of righteousness in itself too! Why not give consideration to both?!��


    When Hou Sheng was talking, his face did not turn red and his heart did not race, he was actually not the least bit ashamed.


    His world outlook was different from Ye Yuan and the rest in the first place.


    The dissidence of opinion made it useless to talk!


    He was dead sure that Ye Yuan had to give in. That was why he said this.


    After all, no matter who it was, facing the divine race��s five ancestors, there was only the path of retreating.


    A fight to the death would only be you dying!


    ��No need! None of you guys need to take action!��


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan who was in the midst of the five ancestors spoke up calmly.


    And his figure also instantly left the encirclement, arriving in front of Hou Sheng.


    He looked at Hou Sheng with a mocking look and said with a smile, ��You want the fire rule crystal?��


    Hou Sheng��s expression changed drastically and he fell back repeatedly and said stammeringly, ��I-If you dare to harm this ancestor, you absolutely won��t be the five ancestor��s match!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Is that so? To be able to put such vile and despicable words in such a dignified and high-sounding way, you��re really impressive! Therefore, you can die already!��


    A sword light flashed past. Blood sealed the throat!

 Chapter 2505 - Universe Suppressing Five Ancestors!

    Chapter 2505: Universe Suppressing Five Ancestors!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    With this murder, everyone was struck silly with astonishment.


    Even the divine race��s five ancestors were also dumbstruck with amazement.


    This plot reversed too fiercely.


    They thought that it would turn into a melee. But in the end, Ye Yuan directly one-shotted Dao Ancestor Destruction.


    ��This �� What��s Lord Saint Azure��s doing?��


    ��Killing Dao Ancestor Destruction at this time, isn��t it breaking one��s own arm and destroying one��s own great wall?��


    ��Sigh, Lord Saint Azure��s personality is too staunch! What to do about this?��


    �� ��


    A feeling of despair spread in the crowd.


    The strength of the human race was significantly weaker than the divine race to begin with. Now, there were even deaths and injuries.


    In the end, Ye Yuan even broke his own arm.


    But Ye Yuan ignored these. His gaze turned to Ancestor Lightning and Ancestor Wind, and he said coolly, ��Do you guys still want the rule crystal?��


    ��D-Don��t want anymore!�� The two said fearfully.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Good that you don��t! Remember, not killing you guys isn��t because you guys aren��t worthy of being killed. Pang Tian, you should thank Pang Zhen. Zuo Yan, you once made a move to stop Tian Qing before. This time, I��ll spare you guys from death. But there��s no next time.��


    There was thick fear in the two people��s eyes.


    The oppression that Ye Yuan gave to them was seriously too strong.


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan ignored the two and turned around and left.


    Only then did Ancestor Lightning Pang Tian and Ancestor Wind Zuo Yan feel akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    They discovered that their backs were already soaked through.


    The two exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of a bitter smile.


    The death of Dao Ancestor Destruction made them feel the grief of the fox mourning the death of a rabbit.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were only left with the two of them now!


    They understood that the era that belonged to them was already completely over.


    Ye Yuan returned opposite of the five ancestors, Tian Qing frowned and said, ��You��re really going to confront the five of us with your power alone?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Why? Can��t I?��


    Tian Qing said, ��Of course you can! This isn��t some fair fight, but the life-and-death battle of two races! Heh, you being so overbearingly haughty is precisely what this ancestor hopes for!��


    Toward Ye Yuan��s composure, although he felt a little nervous in his heart, he had absolute confidence in the five ancestors�� strength.


    Although three laws fusion was troublesome, he was absolutely not the five of their match!


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��Well, begin then!��


    His voice had yet to fade and he already turned into an afterimage, pouncing towards Tian Qing.


    The latter was shocked, feeling an astonishing sword intent coming at him head-on.


    ��Fine lad! Watch this!��


    Tian Qing��s reaction was extremely quick too, only to hear him yell out loudly, both fists directly slamming out like flood dragons heading out to the sea.


    One had a sword intent that surmounted heaven, the other had a fist that suppressed the four seas!


    In a breath, the two people clashed.


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud bang. Tian Qing��s body flew out like a bombshell.


    While Ye Yuan did not budge an inch!


    This blow that arrived unexpectedly was actually Ye Yuan��s complete victory!


    At virtually the same time, the divine race��s four ancestors also moved.


    Yue Mengli repeatedly pointed her dainty fingers, aiming straight for Ye Yuan��s vitals.


    Her strike did not lose to Tian Qing in the least bit.


    Under the other three people��s support via coordinated actions, it practically shattered even space!


    Ye Yuan was indifferent. Universe suddenly blossomed, facing the four ancestors head-on.


    Both sides instantly fell into a fierce battle.


    Tian Qing only felt his innards in turmoil. Ignoring the shock in his heart, he rushed in again.


    Only when he confronted Ye Yuan head-on did he experience how strong the Ye Yuan who fused time, space, and sword, three laws, was!


    At the same time, he was also secretly rejoicing that the divine race had an additional Ten-marks powerhouse now.


    If it was just him alone, he would likely really not be able to suppress Ye Yuan.


    Tian Qing had fought Shang Hang once before and was deeply aware of the prowess of spacetime law.


    It was just that Shang Hang��s strength compared to the current Ye Yuan, it was simply one up in the sky and the other on the ground.


    Even if Ye Yuan only used spacetime law, it was also completely not what Shang Hang could compare with, let alone talk about using time, space, and sword, three great laws at the same time.


    That swift and fierce sword intent was practically poking holes in the sky.


    If not for him being conferred ancestor again, he would not have been able to block that sword just now at all!


    However, even if he re-joined the group battle, they were actually unable to suppress Ye Yuan after combining the five of their strength!


    The Universe Sword Art that fused spacetime law could be rated as perfect.


    Space and time, the two great laws, contained the meaning of universe in the first place.


    The Universe Sword Art that Ye Yuan developed with Sword Dao as the axis, time and space as the two poles, was simply formidable to the extreme.


    His every move and style carried the aura of Great Dao, almost reaching the extent of the limit of Dao.


    Not only did five great Dao Ancestors joining forces fail to suppress Ye Yuan, but they were also completely suppressed by Ye Yuan instead!


    Even if the five of them activated Heavenly Dao True Martial, they were still unable to suppress Ye Yuan.


    Tian Qing and Yue Mengli were still alright, the other three progenitors were actually in the awkwardness of being in straitened circumstances under the power pressure of Universe.


    The six people��s battle fought until the sky rent asunder and the earth split open. The mountains and rivers in the vicinity were directly turned into nothingness.


    This battle could be said to be the supreme battle of the Heavenspan World already.


    The power was unimaginable.


    At this time, regardless of whether it was the divine race or the human race, they all fell into immense shock.


    Only then did they understand why Ye Yuan accepted Tian Qing��s provocation so calmly, and why he insisted on fighting one-versus-five calmly.


    His might was suffocating!


    ��What a fine Universe! I feel that Lord Saint Azure is a mobile Heavenly Dao!��


    ��Strong! Too strong! Lord Saint Azure��s strength already reached a realm that we can��t imagine!��


    ��It turns out that all of our worries were so ridiculous! Lord Saint Azure is already standing at the summit of the Heavenspan World! From today onward, who can still suppress him?��


    �� ��


    Shock, pleasant surprise, and fanatical worship, all kinds of emotions interwoven together.


    Humanity��s powerhouses felt an indescribable pride at this time.


    The divine race had eight great progenitors that suppressed the myriad races!


    But, humanity only needed Saint Azure alone and they could turn their noses up at the world!


    In this samsara, the human race did not need to be haunted with fear anymore.


    Because they had Saint Azure!


    Currently, Lin Chaotian with his mouth full of blood, his eyes were full of despair and shame at his unworthiness.


    He was posturing in front of Ye Yuan?


    He wanted to become the human race��s sovereign?


    He did not even have the qualifications to force out Ye Yuan��s true strength.


    The strength that Ye Yuan exhibited now was truly suppressing the myriad races!


    Lin Chaotian was a joke after Heavenly Dao Samsara!


    Originally, he was still filled with hatred towards Ye Yuan, and still harbored a tiny trace of hope.


    But having witnessed Ye Yuan��s strength, he understood that he no longer had hopes of making a comeback.


    This was not an era of heroes vying for supremacy.


    This was also not an era of duality.


    This was an era that belonged to Ye Yuan alone!


    This Heavenly Dao Samsara, Ye Yuan would reign supreme by himself!


    Even the number one person who once looked down upon the world, Tian Qing, also had to submit under Ye Yuan��s feet!


    Puu, puu, puu!


    After a thousand moves, Dao Ancestor Life Cheng Kui, was whisked into Universe after a careless move.


    It was only to see countless streaks of sword light pass through his body, directly garroting him!


    The power of rule flowed out, condensing into a rule crystal again, and arrived at Ye Yuan��s hand.


    In the last epoch, 18 Grand Ancestors moving out together, might not be able to kill a divine race progenitor too.


    But now, Ye Yuan killed someone under the pincer attacks of five ancestors!


    ��Still want to fight again?�� Ye Yuan held the rule crystal in his hand as he said indifferently.

 Chapter 2506 - Number One Through the Ages!

    Tian Qing��s expression was incomparably solemn.


    The divine race that stood high above the masses was really trampled underfoot by someone this time!


    Furthermore, it was being subjugated forever that kind!


    After today, who could still be Ye Yuan��s match?


    In the battle of the supreme, Ye Yuan fought one-versus-five, overpowering the divine race.


    This battle completely shattered the myth of the divine race!


    The divine race was not a mythical race.


    They could be trampled underfoot too!


    ��Do we still have a way out?�� Tian Qing��s words were full of bitterness.


    He was somewhat unable to accept this current fact.


    To Tian Qing, he had always been the strongest in this world.


    He felt that he was this world��s apex, no one could surpass him.


    But now, Ye Yuan, this peak, already completely surpassed him!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head lightly and said, ��Yes. Be more law-abiding in the future. Then I won��t do anything to the divine race. You remember this. In the future, no race is superior to the others! All life is equal! You restrain the divine race and put away that lame sense of superiority of yours. Of course, our human race also won��t pose with the bearing of a ruler.��


    Tian Qing had a look of surprise and said, ��Do you really mean this?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Do you think that I have a need to crack jokes with you?��


    Tian Qing��s expression became somewhat complicated.


    Honestly speaking, the pride of their divine race was born in the bones.


    That pride seemed to be deep etched in the depths of their soul, unable to change at all.


    The divine race seemed to be feared by all races the moment they were born.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s words were like a form of charity.


    When had their divine race, or him, Tian Qing, ever faced such a humiliating moment before?


    But Tian Qing was not a fool.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was not pitying them.


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, he could absolutely make the human race tower above all races!


    But he did not!


    Ye Yuan had the qualification of a sovereign. His word was gold.


    If he said that all life was equal, then all life would really be equal!


    It was just that he did not understand!


    ��Why? My divine race should have an irreconcilable hatred with you!�� Tian Qing said in puzzlement.


    ��You��ll understand very soon! Before long, I��ll go to the divine race! Now, you all go back!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Tian Qing��s expression changed. He recalled what Ye Yuan said before.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was really going to deal with the Eight Extreme Divinities?


    But Ye Yuan no longer paid attention to him and turned to Long Yi and said, ��Long Yi, you��ve led the eight clans to guard the Abyss World for hundreds of millions of years, toiling hard and rendering great merits. This rule crystal will be handed over to you! In the future, you��re Dao Ancestor Life!��


    Long Yi��s entire body trembled, indescribable joy on his face.


    By the side, the leaders of the eight clans were also happy for him.


    With Long Yi becoming an ancestor, no one was unconvinced by it.


    ��Many thanks, Lord Progenitor!�� Long Yi said respectfully.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and looked toward Ni Xuan and said, ��Ni Xuan, you, as humanity��s chief commander, have rendered utmost contributions! Later, I��ll lay down the inheritance arrays anew. You��ll be the second person with the qualifications to enter the inheritance grand array apart from Wan Zhen!��


    When Ni Xuan heard that, he was also wildly elated!


    How could he not understand the significance of the inheritance grand array?


    One had to know, the inheritance grand array created 18 Grand Ancestor-level powerhouses!


    For him to be able to obtain this qualification, even if he did not enter Grand Ancestor Realm in the future, he would also surely be a supreme powerhouse among Deva Realms.


    ��Many thanks, Lord Saint Azure!�� Ni Xuan said agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, then surveyed the surroundings and said loudly to the powerhouses that filled the sky, ��Heavenly Dao Samsara has already ended. From now onwards, the human and divine, two races, will stay out of the other��s business! If anyone deliberately provokes the two races to be antagonistic, I��ll kill without mercy!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were said casually.


    But the majesty in those words, no one dared to disobey.


    The current Ye Yuan was the true-blue sovereign of the myriad races!


    This myriad of races included the divine race!


    None dared to defy his words!


    Although they did not understand it.


    �� ��


    Very soon, the Heavenspan Mountain battle spread throughout the entire Heavenspan World like the wind.


    The entire human race was boiling with excitement!


    Especially Saint Azure battling five ancestors and overpowering the divine race.


    Just listening to it made one feel their hot blood boiling.


    This battle achievement, one did not even dare to think about it before today.


    If Progenitor Tian Qing battled five great Dao Ancestors by himself, they would not be surprised.


    But, a human suppressed the entire divine race.


    This sort of thing was too heaven-defying!


    ��Too impressive! Really too awesome! Being able to see Lord Saint Azure once in my whole life, I can die without regrets!��


    ��The number one person through the ages! Lord Saint Azure is absolutely the well-deserved number one person through the ages!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure is really akin to the noonday sun, illuminating through the ages! He alone created three eras! Leaving legacies, suppressing the divine race, suppressing eternally, nobody is able to surpass this kind of feat anymore!��


    �� ��


    Following the divine race coming roaring into being, their might had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people already.


    Especially when Tian Qing returned back then, suppressing three ancestors by himself.


    That kind of shock was truly unable to use words to describe it.


    In everyone��s impression, Dao Ancestors were supreme existences. They were invincible powerhouses!


    But suddenly, a person appeared who could actually suppress three people by himself. This impact was really too great.


    But Ye Yuan suppressed five great divine race progenitors with his power alone, and it was even the progenitors after becoming Dao Ancestors.


    In contrast, Ye Yuan was simply a god up in heaven!


    That kind of power could no longer be described using words.


    From now on, humanity would truly be able to live under sunlight.


    They no longer had any more fears from the ��rear��!


    This huge mountain that suppressed two epochs, was completely suppressed by Ye Yuan!


    Before this battle, people��s feelings towards ye yuan were more admiration and idolization.


    But after this battle, Ye Yuan was thoroughly apotheosized!


    He was the divinity above the clouds!


    He was the god of war that suppressed all sides!


    He was the sovereign who guarded the human race!


    From now on, he was a figure that lived in mythology!


    It was just that, with regards to these, Ye Yuan himself did not have much awareness.


    Not only that, the dark clouds in his heart grew denser and denser.


    Because he knew that suppressing the divine race was just the beginning!


    That Eight Extreme Divinities which created the divine race was the truly terrifying existence!


    Facing this existence, he did not have any confidence at all.


    Soon, he would be facing it.


    But before this, he still had one more thing to do.


    Saving Mu Lingxue!


    He went through all kinds of hardships and difficulties, it was in order to obtain the Tear of Life.


    Now, he finally got his wish!


    But right before it, Ye Yuan��s emotions became perturbed.


    The current Ye Yuan was no longer an ignorant person.


    His Alchemy Dao already reached the acme of perfection, reaching the realm of rule.


    He naturally knew how dreadful Mu Lingxue��s current state was.


    Regarding a trace of spiritual consciousness not extinguishing, actually, it was already equivalent to a dead person.


    Even he, this existence with invincible Alchemy Dao, was also at a loss on what to do!


    Ye Yuan could refine Dao pills, but Dao pills could not save Mu Lingxue!


    The Tear of Life was a rule item with a powerful life force.


    This power was very magical and hard to describe.


    But as for the specifics of whether it was useful or not, Ye Yuan was not sure either.


    He was praying in his heart, praying for Mu Lingxue to be able to wake up.


    Carrying extreme flustered emotions, Ye Yuan injected the Tear of Life into Mu Lingxue��s body.

 Chapter 2507 - Despair and Hope!

    Ye Yuan��s body was trembling slightly, his breathing becoming rapid.


    The Sacred Ancestor High Priest who was by the side, it was still his first time seeing Ye Yuan so nervous.


    It could be seen what weight of this woman whose life and death situation was unknown had in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    One dark green light halo after another emitted from Mu Lingxue��s body.


    Ye Yuan carefully guided the power of the Tear of Life with the power of his divine soul, entering Mu Lingxue��s sea of consciousness.


    There was only a trace of spiritual consciousness remaining!


    Ye Yuan forced himself to calm down, there was no room for the slightest error at this time.


    This final trace of spiritual consciousness could not withstand any accidents!


    It was also Ye Yuan��s first time seeing the Tear of Life. Even he was extremely amazed by the vast aura of life inside.


    This aura of life was extremely complex and profound, seemingly containing the Great Dao of Life and Death inside.


    There was a myriad of Great Dao. The Great Dao of Life and Death was also one of them.


    Furthermore, it was an extremely profound one.


    Ye Yuan had cultivated the Nirvana Seal��s Life and Death Seal before and had a rather profound understanding of Life and Death Dao��s attainments.


    But, even if he was presently revered as Heavenspan World��s number one person, he could not penetrate the secrets of life and death too.


    People were the most, most complex things in this world to begin with.


    In front of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, people were insignificant like a drop in the ocean.


    But people themselves were also akin to a complicated and sophisticated instrument, running continuously.


    Logically speaking, everyone was within the operations of Heavenly Dao.


    Everyone��s life trajectory should also have been configured already.


    But Ye Yuan had gone through so much and had long already seen through a lot. The destiny of people could not be controlled by Heavenly Dao at all.


    Just like �� himself!


    He had discussed his life with Profound Secrets before and could confirm that his heaven-defying rise was absolutely not within the operation of Heavenly Dao.


    He broke free from Heavenly Dao��s control!


    Ye Yuan could also confirm that the Heavenspan World��s current situation already broke out of the control of Heavenly Dao too.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that even if one grasped Life and Death rule, they would not be able to truly see through life and death too!


    The Tear of Life contained the maxim of life!


    Feeling this power, Ye Yuan felt a bit more confident out of thin air.


    Under Ye Yuan��s control, the power of life seemed to be like the spring rain, watering the weak spiritual consciousness.


    Time slowly trickled by. But Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness did not show the slightest signs of strengthening.


    After several devastations, Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness was already too weak.


    The power of life was unable to enter Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness at all.


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling a little more fretful in his heart.


    But he did not dare to be the least bit neglectful.


    Every pore on his body from head to toe became tense.


    One day!


    Two days!


    �� ��


    A month later, just as Ye Yuan already completely despaired, that trace of spiritual consciousness suddenly grew stronger.


    Although it was only a little bit, Ye Yuan could see it clearly!


    This trace of change made Ye Yuan ecstatic!


    In this one month, Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness was immersed in the power of life.


    Finally, there was a slight improvement!


    With a trace, there was a second trace!


    Ye Yuan believed without a shadow of a doubt!


    Sure enough, in the following time, this trace of spiritual consciousness became stronger and stronger, increasingly stronger.


    Ye Yuan��s heart was practically leaping out of his throat.


    He was too exhilarated!


    Experiencing untold hardships and turning the Heavenspan World upside down, what did he do it for?


    To become the Heavenspan World��s number one person?


    To be admired by millions of people?


    For that eternal name?


    No!


    He only did it for Mu Lingxue!


    That strange woman with an ice-cold outer appearance, but dared to love and hate!


    Now, he finally did it!


    Mu Lingxue��s spiritual consciousness was continuously strengthening.


    From feeble and dim in the beginning, to solid, and then turning into like clusters of flames.


    ��Ugh ����


    Finally, Mu Lingxue let out a soft murmur.


    This sound was very light, soft until it was almost inaudible.


    But when it entered Ye Yuan��s ears, it was more beautiful than any music in the world!


    ��Lingxue! Can you hear? Lingxue! I �� I��m Ji Qingyun!�� Ye Yuan completely forgot about himself and did not notice the tremor in his own voice at all.


    However, there was no response.


    After this sound, there was no more sound.


    And right at this moment, the light halo on Mu Lingxue��s body dissipated with a loud bang.


    The Tear of Life also shattered with a loud bang at this moment.


    ��No! Don��t!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly, desperately wanting to gather those fragments.


    But everything was futile!


    Those fragments gradually dissipated, returning to heaven and earth.


    Ye Yuan��s entire person was stupefied, instantly falling from great joy into great sorrow.


    ��Lingxue! W-Wake up! D-Don��t scare me! I carried endless hope, that��s how I walked until today, d-don��t shatter all of my hopes!��


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan was practically saying it while crying.


    These thousands of years, it was the Tear of Life that supported Ye Yuan to come this far.


    But now, the cruel reality told him that the Tear of Life could not save Mu Lingxue too.


    This despair of shattered hope directly broke Ye Yuan.


    ��Lingxue, don��t be like this!��


    ��Y-You give me a response, okay?��


    ��I know. You��re just pretending to sleep ����


    Ye Yuan��s voice became weaker and weaker. Until the end, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.


    His face dried up after being wet with tears and turned wet again after drying, no idea how many times already.


    He was unable to deceive himself anymore too.


    He knew that he really failed!


    But he was not reconciled to it!


    How he hoped that all this was a scam!


    By the side, Profound Secrets and Sacred Ancestor High Priest were both visibly moved.


    They had never seen such behavior before from Ye Yuan!


    Only all the way until now did they understand that Ye Yuan walked until today step by step for this mortal woman in his arms!


    At present, Ye Yuan was already revered as supreme.


    But his feelings for this mortal woman never changed in the least bit.


    To a martial artist, there could be many women in their lives.


    Along with the increase in their strength and status, their mentality would undergo massive changes.


    How could a mortal match up to the Heavenspan��s sovereign?


    How could her life or death be worthy of the Sovereign being so heartbroken?


    This was a strange man who was most affectionate and sincere!


    ��Ye Yuan, m-maybe �� there��s still hope! After all, the Tear of Life had an effect, right? One Tear of Life can��t. Then we can find more Tears of Life!�� Wing hesitated for a bit but still urged.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes were vacant without any spirit as he said, ��You don��t need to comfort me anymore! You and I are both Dao pill powerhouses. It��s very clear whether the Tear of Life was useful or not!��


    Spiritual consciousness was just a wisp of consciousness.


    This wisp of consciousness became stronger under the nourishment of the Tear of Life.


    Spiritual consciousness became stronger, but the divine soul did not show the slightest sign of recovery!


    This was the crux!


    Mu Lingxue��s divine soul had long already dissipated. There was only this strand of spiritual consciousness left that was not extinguished.


    Ye Yuan had always been waiting, waiting for the Tear of Life to be able to let this wisp of spiritual consciousness re-condense its divine soul.


    But no!


    There was not the slightest trace of anything!


    His despair did not lay with the Tear of Life shattering, but it lay here!


    Without the divine soul, it was useless no matter how strong the spiritual consciousness was.


    Wing��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Ye Yuan, didn��t your divine essence already become a chaos origin divinity? This shows that the divine essence still has a higher level form! Maybe �� there��s still a way?��


    Ye Yuan��s body shook fiercely, the hollow eyes gradually recovering a bit of light!


    ��Right! Y-You��re right! That fellow might know something! I can��t give up hope!�� Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said.


    His eyes recovered their resolution once again!

 Chapter 2508 - Suffocatingly Strong!

    The Cangyan Mountain was located west of Heavenspan Mountain. It was originally Ancestor Fire��s bodhidharma.


    Now, Ancestor Fire already perished. Hence, the place became the divine race��s new holy land.


    After the Doomsday Battle, Ye Yuan agreed for the divine race to enter the Heavenspan World. The divine race also started a great migration.


    And the divine race��s totem, the Eight Extreme Divinities, was naturally also ��invited�� here.


    In this place with abundant spiritual energy, the eight statues appeared even more lifelike, as if they were about to come to life.


    At this time, Ye Yuan already arrived outside of Cangyan Mountain.


    The entire divine race was waiting in full battle-array!


    ��Ye Yuan, what on earth do you want to do?�� Tian Qing looked at Ye Yuan from afar and questioned.


    ��Today, whoever dares to stop me, I��ll kill gods if gods block, and kill Buddha if Buddha blocks!�� Ye Yuan��s words were full of indifference.


    Tian Qing��s expression changed slightly, he felt tremendous pressure.


    The Ye Yuan today became incomparably icy-cold, giving people a chill that penetrated to the bones.


    Yue Mengli blocked Ye Yuan with a flash and said, ��If I block you, will you kill even me?��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted slightly, the expression on his face finally having some change.


    ��Li-er, don��t force me!��


    Yue Mengli did not back down in the slightest and said, ��If you do anything for Elder Sister Lingxue, I have nothing to say. But if you want to destroy the Eight Extreme Divinities, no can do! It��s the Eight Extreme Divinities that gave me a new lease on life!��


    Yue Mengli understood Ye Yuan extremely well. He just obtained the Tear of Life, but became like this, he must have failed to save Mu Lingxue.


    And him choosing to come to the divine race straight away indicated that the Eight Extreme Divinities must have something to do with saving Mu Lingxue!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a cold voice, ��Bullshit! Who said that you have a new lease on life? Only destroying the Eight Extreme Divinities can save you! And Lingxue��s only hope also lies with it!��


    Yue Mengli shook her head firmly and said, ��If you want to destroy the Eight Extreme Divinities, then step over my dead body!��


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, he could not help letting out a slight sigh of relief.


    He understood Ye Yuan, with Yue Mengli around, Ye Yuan absolutely did not dare to mess around.


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said indifferently, ��Since that��s the case, then �� Universe Sword Formation, open!��


    Boom!


    In an instant, within a radius of a thousand miles with Ye Yuan as the center, everything was shrouded in the terrifying sword energy.


    Currently, the divine race��s experts were practically all covered in this domain.


    Tian Qing��s expression instantly showed that he was extremely surprised.


    ��This �� This �� is a sword formation condensed from four great rules! Your Formation Dao �� reached the realm of rule too?��


    There were no words that could describe Tian Qing��s shock currently.


    Being in the sword formation, Tian Qing did not even dare to move!


    The dangerous aura radiating from the surroundings almost suffocated him!


    Only all the way until at this time did he know that Ye Yuan actually already possessed the strength to instantly kill him!


    In the Heavenspan Mountain battle, Ye Yuan overpowered the divine race��s five ancestors.


    At that time, it was not his limit!


    They were unable to force out Ye Yuan��s limit at all!


    Facing five ancestors, fusing three power of rules was already sufficient.


    But now, under Ye Yuan��s rage, he revealed his strongest move, shocking everybody!


    This move, Universe Sword Formation, was an astonishing sword formation created based on Universe.


    This sword formation fused the four great rules that Ye Yuan comprehended, and also incorporated his ultimate comprehension of Heavenly Dao!


    It could be said that the power of each rule was unleashed to the limit.


    The might of this move already surpassed everyone��s imaginations!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, activating the sword formation at once!


    One streak of sword energy after another pierced directly into Yue Mengli��s body.


    It restrained her in an instant.


    Ye Yuan flashed and Yue Mengli just happened to fall into his arms.


    He knew very well how far to go and when to stop when he made his move. He only knocked Yue Mengli out and sealed the power in his body, and did not hurt her.


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, he naturally had the confidence to do it.


    Restraining Yue Mengli, Ye Yuan��s eyes turned cold and he swept all around and said, ��Now, who else wants to stop me?��


    Tian Qing opened his mouth, only feeling full of bitterness.


    The current Ye Yuan already completely exceeded his imagination.


    Ye Yuan��s might was suffocating!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan put away Universe Sword Formation, carried Yue Mengli, and walked straight into the mountain. No one from the divine race dared to stop.


    He did not need people to lead the way. He could feel where the Eight Extreme Divinities was at.


    The divine race��s powerhouses all exchanged glances, their expressions indescribably ugly.


    ��L-Lord Tian Qing, how can �� he be so strong?��


    ��Yeah, his power already surpasses the scope of monstrous! I feel like he��s a god that��s aloof from the masses! That sort of feeling is a little like facing the Eight Extreme Divinities!��


    ��This Ye Yuan is too terrifying! With his monstrousness, the Eight Extreme Divinities �� wouldn��t really have something happen to it, right?��


    �� ��


    His voice had yet to fade when Tian Qing interrupted his words and said in a solemn voice, ��Impossible! The Eight Extreme Divinities is a generous gift from heaven. It has the strength equal to heaven! No matter how strong Ye Yuan is, can he be greater than heaven?��


    Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense too.


    In the eyes of the divine race, the Eight Extreme Divinities and Heavenly Dao were the same!


    Touching the Eight Extreme Divinities was touching Heavenly Dao. How could Heavenly Dao tolerate you?


    Tian Qing��s gaze flickered incessantly, his figure flashing, following after.


    �� ��


    Ahead was a stretch of powerful restrictions, emitting powerful undulations.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan casually grabbed a Sword of Void and slashed a sword move over. The restrictions collapsed with a loud bang.


    Unable to stop even a single blow!


    When Tian Qing who was behind saw this scene, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching slightly.


    Rumble ��


    Powerful undulations came out of the void.


    The eight statues gradually revealed their true bodies.


    As if feeling the provocative intent, the eight statues glared with fierce eyes, appearing extremely angry.


    That appearance seemed like they wanted to tear Ye Yuan to pieces alive.


    ��Brat, you came again! To dare affront the majesty of heaven again, you��ll definitely die this time!�� Inside Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, a familiar voice came over.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to be long-winded with him. He just said indifferently, ��I��ll ask, you answer! Of course, you can choose to be silent, but these eight statues, I��ll tear it down today!��


    That voice said with disdain, ��Humph! Just based on you also want to demolish the Eight Extreme Divinities? You can come and give it a try if you have the ability!��


    Clearly, he was very confident.


    But at this time, Tian Qing arrived and said furiously, ��Ye Yuan, the Eight Extreme Divinities is an object bestowed by heaven! Affronting heaven��s might, you��ll die without a burial ground!��


    Ye Yuan completely ignored Tian Qing, lifting his hand and it was a sword!


    Whoosh!


    Sword light flashed past, aiming straight for a statue in the middle.


    But right at this time, the fork in the statue��s hand suddenly burst forth with a terrifying to the extreme energy.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan only felt his chest tighten, spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    That voice laughed wildly as he said, ��Hahaha �� Saw that? This is the outcome of you offending heaven��s might! Just the likes of you, an ant, also dare to resist Heavenly Dao in vain, death isn��t regrettable!��


    At the back, also came Tian Qing��s cold laughter and he said, ��Ye Yuan, I warned you long ago, heavenly might can��t be offended! Now, have you tasted a bitter pill? Withdraw now! Otherwise, you��ll die very miserably!��

 Chapter 2509 - Retreat!

    ��Heavenly Dao? This thing is also worthy of being called Heavenly Dao?�� Ye Yuan put Li-er into the World Suppressing Stele��s space and said with a look of disdain.


    Ye Yuan did not know what Heavenly Dao was.


    But it was absolutely impossible for these strange-looking things to be Heavenly Dao.


    Only the divine race would treat this thing as a treasure.


    Ye Yuan spat a mouthful of blood, and slowly stood up. The sword intent on his body surged to the sky!


    ��Universe!��


    Ye Yuan took a step out, flying straight for the statues!


    Whoosh!


    Another terrifying surge of energy undulation!


    Ye Yuan did not back down in the slightest. Universe bloomed, directly welcoming it.


    Boom!


    The void shook violently. Ye Yuan was directly sent flying, smashing heavily into the ground.


    Facing the enormous statues, Ye Yuan was like the moth flying into the fire, being weak to the extreme.


    The ever-victorious Universe seemed to also have lost its effect at this time.


    When Tian Qing saw this scene, he could not resist sneering as he said, ��A mantis blocking the chariot, overestimating your own ability! A stubborn fellow who refuses to come to your senses, you really don��t know life from death! Is heavenly might what human strength can shake? No matter how strong you are, you��re also just a human!��


    But Ye Yuan was oblivious, pouncing toward the statues over and over again.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    �� ��


    Over and over again, Ye Yuan was directly blasted flying.


    But he rushed forward over and over again stubbornly, as if he did not know exhaustion.


    This energy undulation was extremely strong, strong beyond imagination!


    But Ye Yuan��s Universe was likewise powerful to the extreme.


    Coupled with his formidable to the extreme physical body, he forcibly pulled through.


    It was just that each time, he was blasted deep into the ground by that powerful force.


    But even so, his entire body was already dripping with blood, looking savage and terrifying.


    Under such intense shocks, even if Ye Yuan��s physical body was astonishing, he suffered considerable injuries too.


    The strength of these eight statues was indeed terrifying to the extreme.


    That powerful energy undulation completely had no problems killing at least one Dao Ancestor!


    If the target was not Ye Yuan, they would have long died no idea how many times.


    That voice said with a scornful laugh, ��Hahaha �� Ant, haven��t you figured out the situation yet? With your strength, another ten thousand times will be futile too!��


    ��Oh, is that so?�� Ye Yuan did not care in the slightest, continuing to assault, then get blasted flying again.


    ��Of course! I��m the heaven! The paramount heaven! All you ants are nothing in front of heaven!��


    When the divine race powerhouses saw the Ye Yuan who was like a moth flying into the fire, they shook their heads one after another.


    ��This is the power of Heavenly Dao. Although Ye Yuan is strong, he��s merely a slightly stronger ant. That��s all!��


    ��This boy really overestimates your own ability, to actually dare provoke the majesty of Heavenly Dao!��


    ��Heh, this brat had best be killed by the divinity. That way, our divine race will be able to reign over the world again!��


    �� ��


    The strength that Ye Yuan exhibited previously, it deeply hurt the divine race��s self-esteem.


    They knew that they would never be able to surpass Ye Yuan.


    They could not, but Heavenly Dao could! The Eight Extreme Divinities could!


    Looking at the powerful Universe, it was nothing in front of the Eight Extreme Divinities!


    That sort of delight was practically bursting out.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was blasted flying again, spurting out a large mouthful of blood with a cough.


    His aura already withered significantly.


    ��Boy, I��m already tired of this. I can��t be bothered to carry on playing with you anymore! This strike will send you on your way!�� That voice held unspeakable banter.


    At the same time, the eight statues actually condensed energy at the same time!


    Above the void, the wind and clouds surged, as if the end of the world was arriving again.


    Everyone present was crushed by this pressure until they were practically unable to breathe.


    Under this terrifying pressure, Ye Yuan��s clothes fluttered madly.


    ��This �� This is heavenly might! When a god is angered, Heavenly Dao is angered too! Ye Yuan��s provocation already affronted heaven��s mighty! He��s dead for sure!�� Tian Qing��s expression changed abruptly as he said.


    Under this apocalyptic power, even he could not remain calm anymore.


    This was the true heavenly might!


    At this moment, he became incomparably devout, slowly kneeling down.


    ��God, please calm your anger!��


    With him kneeling, all of the divine race knelt down.


    ��God, please calm your anger!�� Everyone lied prostrate on the ground, praying to heaven, incomparably religiously.


    ��Ant, do you see it! This god is heaven! This is heaven��s might! Under heaven��s might, your chaos origin divinity will turn to ashes too! You are too weak!�� The Eight Extreme Divinities looked at Ye Yuan with pity as it said with a loud laugh.


    Each of the eight statues was holding a different weapon in their hands.


    But currently, extremely terrifying energy was condensing on each weapon!


    If this strike landed, the entire Cangyan Mountain would likely be leveled to the ground!


    In the area of ten million miles, not a blade of grass would survive!


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s expression seemed very calm.


    He slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Heaven��s might? Perhaps! Extracting the energy of the Heavenspan World to launch attacks can indeed be called heaven��s might! It��s just a pity that your technique has already been figured out by me!��


    Over on the Eight Extreme Divinities�� side, he clearly choked. He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually saw through the nature of this trick.


    However, he did not care, saying with a laugh, ��Hahaha �� you��ve figured out this god��s technique? A mere ant also dares to utter such big talk, what a joke! Boy, no matter how glib your tongue is, you��ll die without a doubt too!��


    Ye Yuan slowly shook his head and held his palm out. The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain appeared in his palm impressively.


    At the same time, an astonishing aura rose steadily from Ye Yuan��s body!


    That was the aura of Great Dao!


    Feeling this terrifying aura, the voice of the Eight Extreme Divinities finally changed!


    He seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying thing and said in shock, ��You �� You actually refined the Heart of Heavenspan! This �� This is impossible! H-How can you, an ant, possibly obtain the recognition of the Heart of Heavenspan?��


    The voice of the Eight Extreme Divinities seemed extremely panicky.


    Clearly, the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain put tremendous pressure on him.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly and he said with a smile, ��So, it��s called Heart of Heavenspan! Looks like you really know quite a bit! Coming to find you is indeed correct!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan hold both palms out flatly. The Lesser Heavenspan Mountain rose up.


    At this time, heaven and earth seemed to be revolving around Ye Yuan.


    ��Retreat!��


    Ye Yuan lightly spat a word out of his mouth.


    Following that, those surging wind and clouds, the lightning flashing and thunder clapping, the fitful heaven��s might, all retreated!


    One word made everything return to tranquility!


    The terrifying power condensed by the Eight Extreme Divinities directly dissipated with the wind!


    This was the might of Great Dao!


    Ye Yuan looked at the eight statues and said with a sneer, ��Now, try executing your heaven��s might again?��


    The divine race powerhouses present were all completely stunned!


    No words could describe the shock in their hearts currently.


    ��What��s going on here? Heaven��s might was frightened away by Ye Yuan?��


    ��This �� This is also too exaggerated, right? He �� a mortal, actually frightened heaven��s might away?��


    ��Could it be that Ye Yuan already reached the point where he��s on par with heaven? This �� This is impossible, right?��


    �� ��


    At this time, they did not know what they should say anymore. Only a deep shock remained.

 Chapter 2510 - Eight Extreme Divinities’ Shock and Terror!

    The beating was naturally not in vain.


    The first time they exchanged blows, Ye Yuan felt that this power was not the Eight Extreme Divinities�� own power.


    He extracted the power of the Heavenspan World through some mysterious power.


    That was also the so-called power of Heavenly Dao.


    This power was merely a drop in the ocean to the Heavenspan World.


    But to martial artists, it was akin to heaven��s might!


    It was just that, this kind of means could hide from others, but how could it hide from Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. At present, he was even standing at the summit of the Heavenspan Mountain already.


    The undulation of Heavenly Dao could not hide from his perception at all!


    He took the beating actually to figure this out.


    The means to mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao!


    Thankfully, he did not fail the mission. He did it!


    These eight statues were more like an array formation.


    Each time they executed that energy, they would emit a kind of mysterious undulation.


    At the same time, the Heavenspan Mountain seemed to be able to feel this undulation, and lend him its power.


    Ye Yuan was in possession of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, he naturally sensed this undulation even more distinctly.


    After many times, he finally grasped this undulation!


    Hence, that was why there was the scene of repelling heaven��s might with one word!


    And this scene was really explosive to the extreme. It gave the divine race powerhouses a feeling of beholding a great mountain.


    Boom!


    Terrifying sword intent instantly covered a radius of a thousand miles.


    Universe Sword Formation!


    The eight statues were directly enveloped in the range of the sword formation.


    The Eight Extreme Divinities said in terror, ��You �� What do you want to do?��


    ��Don��t you know what I want to do?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Y-You dare?! These eight statues are deposited with a wisp of my true self��s origin divinity! If you dare destroy the statues, my true self will detect it! If he descends, you��ll die without a burial ground!�� The Eight Extreme Divinities threatened.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, thinking to himself that he indeed guessed correctly!


    There was indeed an extremely terrifying existence behind the Eight Extreme Divinities!


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not know just how strong this existence was!


    Ye Yuan��s silence made the Eight Extreme Divinities think that he was afraid.


    Hence, he led him on skillfully with patience as he said, ��Huhu, young man, you��re an ant, but you��re a powerful ant! Presumably, you already have some guesses that this world isn��t the end point! The outside world��s powerhouses aren��t what you can imagine at all! As long as you let this god plant an origin divinity will and become this god��s slave, then in the future, this god has a possibility of bringing you to leave this world! Do you know, without this god��s guidance, no living thing in this world can leave?!��


    The Eight Extreme Divinities felt that this temptation was too great. Ye Yuan definitely would not be able to resist.


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s realm, what other pursuits were there still?


    Since he knew that there was an even grander and magnificent world outside, how could Ye Yuan not be moved?


    Ye Yuan was still silent!


    ��Huhu, I know what you��re thinking! However, you��re probably thinking too much, you can��t imagine my true self��s might at all! You think about it! To be able to toy with all of the Heavenspan World��s living creatures in the palm of his hands, how great is his power?! Therefore, give up on this! If he descends, this world will be annihilated!�� The Eight Extreme Divinities increased the weight again as he said gloomily.


    At this time, he recovered to that high and mighty appearance again, seemingly already regarding Ye Yuan as his servant.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth!


    ��Want me to become a servant, it��s also not that you can��t! But I have a condition!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    The moment the Eight Extreme Divinities heard, he was overjoyed. But he still suppressed his emotions and said indifferently, ��There��s nothing that can��t be done to my true self! Based on your worldview, he��s god! An omnipotent god! He is a true god! Not false gods like you all! What conditions do you have? Feel free to state them. With your insights, he can accomplish it with utmost ease!��


    The Eight Extreme Divinities said it very calmly and collectedly as if everything was under control.


    This attitude gave people an extremely convincing feeling.


    Ye Yuan said calmly, ��I have a friend whose soul had disintegrated, only left with a final wisp of spiritual consciousness that isn��t extinguished! Wonder if your true self can help her to regather her divine soul?��


    The moment these words came out, over on the Eight Extreme Divinities�� side, he paused briefly.


    But very soon, he said very calmly, ��Heh, this god said before, my true self is a real god, there��s nothing that can��t be done! Regathering the divine essence is harder than ascending to heaven to you all, lower realm ants. But to my true self, it��s merely a matter of lifting a hand! Boy, open up your origin divinity and await this god to plan my origin divinity will. I��ll naturally be able to help you!��


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly turned cold, and he said with a cold snort, ��Humph! You don��t know what��s good for you, really take this Ye to be so easy to hoodwink? Looks like you don��t be honest! Since that��s the case, I��ll use force then!��


    That slight pause betrayed the Eight Extreme Divinities.


    Ye Yuan deliberately baited his words to inquire indirectly whether or not that person behind the Eight Extreme Divinities could regather the divine soul.


    But unfortunately, it disappointed him again.


    The Eight Extreme Divinities�� attitude clearly showed that that person could not do it!


    A piercing cold sword intent suddenly erupted.


    The Eight Extreme Divinities�� voice sounded extremely horrified, and he said, ��D-Do you not want to live anymore? If you destroy the statue, all of you will have to die without a burial ground! My true self will really descend!��


    The current Ye Yuan already could not be bothered to talk with him anymore.


    He was in a bad mood!


    ��Is that so? If he comes, then I��ll make sure he doesn��t return!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Right at this time, Universe Sword Formation suddenly launched!


    That sword intent that pierced the horizon rushed toward the eight statues frenziedly.


    The eight statues were not easy to deal with either. Their material was extremely tough, even the sword intent which fused four great rules was actually unable to break them within a short time too!


    ��Hahaha �� lower realm ant! Do you think that based on your bit of strength, you��ll be able to break the statues? Dream on!�� When the Eight Extreme Divinities saw the situation, he could not help being overjoyed.


    He was very fearful of Ye Yuan. But at this time, he calmed down again.


    As long as Ye Yuan could not breach the statues�� defenses, he would consume the power of the origin divinity and break the barrier of the world, transmitting the news back to his true self there!


    At that time, Ye Yuan would definitely die without a burial ground!


    The threat that Ye Yuan brought to him was too great, it already escaped his control!


    Therefore, he had to request for his true self to descend!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��Oh? Is that so? Dual Polarity �� Sword Formation!��


    As soon as his voice faded, the Universe Sword Formation that was originally neutral and calm suddenly became unparalleledly swift and fierce!


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    One streak after another of terrifying sword intent directly ruptured the void, bombarding onto the statues crazily.


    Universe Sword Formation was born from Universe. It could naturally evolve into Dual Polarity Sword Formation too!


    The offensive power of Dual Polarity Sword Formation increased more than ten times when compared to Universe Sword Formation!


    It was only to hear a series of terrifying sounds transmit over. Under the countless bombardments, the eight statues finally could not endure it and cracks began to appear!


    ��You �� How did you do it? This �� This is impossible! How can an ant possibly touch the boundary of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse? This �� This is absolutely impossible!�� Eight Extreme Divinities�� voice carried an extremely horrified emotion.

 Chapter 2511 - Farewell

    Boom!


    Finally, the eight statues could not withstand the berserk sword energy anymore and directly exploded, shattering into countless pieces.


    That Eight Extreme Divinities�� wisp of origin divinity also shattered along with the statues, turning into nothingness!


    Golden rays of light suddenly appeared in the void.


    Like, the void was shattering.


    Finally, that region of void directly shattered apart.


    Countless white light dots gushed out


    These light dots scattered elegantly as if looking for something.


    A portion of the light dots drifted and entered the bodies of the divine race powerhouses.


    The eyes of those divine race powerhouses gradually became confused.


    There seemed to be too much confusion!


    ��Just now �� what an intriguing feeling! Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, is it?�� Ye Yuan looked above the sky, seemingly recollecting the aftertaste of something.


    Just now, his offensive power layered on top of each other under the catalyzing of the sword formation, reaching an inconceivable realm.


    That kind of realm was what Ye Yuan had never imagined before!


    Ye Yuan immersed in it in intoxication!


    However, just as he was about to cross over to that realm, there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking him outside.


    Ye Yuan knew that was the realm gap!


    He had not broken the shackles yet!


    Perhaps, that was the limit of the Heavenspan World!


    ��Wonder how one can become a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse?! Maybe the one behind him knows the answer?��


    Leaving that wonderful state, Ye Yuan��s eyes became confused.


    He had been constantly fumbling about how to break the shackles.


    But this step was like it was a short distance away, but far away in the horizon, making him feel like he had no way of getting started.


    This feeling was the same as the scenery when he reached grand completion Origin Deity.


    It was just that now, it was harder than back then!


    What he wanted to break was the shackle that no one in the Heavenspan World had broken for countless billions of years!


    How difficult was this step?


    At this time, a streak of white light merged into the World Suppressing Stele��s space, entering Yue Mengli��s divine soul.


    Ye Yuan��s thoughts stirred and he let Yue Mengli out.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, I��m �� sorry! I �� I couldn��t control myself!�� Yue Mengli said tearfully.


    She knew how much damage her actions and behavior these few years brought to Ye Yuan.


    Self-reproach, guilt, all kinds of emotions welled up in her heart, making her heart ache endlessly.


    She was not feeling sorry for herself, she was feeling sorry for Ye Yuan.


    Only she knew how much pressure Ye Yuan had endured over the years.


    Ye Yuan took her gently into his arms and said calmly, ��Silly girl, it wasn��t your fault either, apologize for what? The main culprit is already dead, you don��t need to blame yourself.��


    Li-er nodded her head slightly, but tears still could not stop flowing.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, Elder Sister Lingxue she ����


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly, shook his head, and said nothing.


    Li-er��s expression dimmed and she bit her lips lightly and said, ��Why! Why is heaven so unfair! Elder Sister Lingxue is so nice, by heaven made her endure such suffering?��


    She was indignant, she was unwilling, she �� felt sorry for Ye Yuan!


    Accompanying Ye Yuan along the way, no one understood Mu Lingxue��s position in his heart more than her.


    Regarding Ye Yuan walking out of the Immortal Grove World, from an ant to Heavenspan��s sovereign currently, it was all in order to be able to save Mu Lingxue.


    But he failed!


    The current Ye Yuan was very calm, but she knew how painful Ye Yuan��s heart was.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was deep, looking deep into the blue sky, and he said firmly, ��It��s fine. The Heavenspan World can��t save Lingxue. Then I��ll go beyond the heavens! Even if I smash the nine heavens and ten earths, I��ll also let Lingxue recover!��


    Yue Mengli��s entire body trembled and she said, ��T-There��s really a world beyond heaven?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��The Heavenspan World is a caged world, everything is under the control of the powerhouses beyond heaven! Eight Extreme Divinities, Doomsday Battle, fight for Dao Ancestor, it was merely just other people��s games! In their eyes, we��re just ants.��


    Yue Mengli��s heart shook, her eyes seemingly full of disbelief.


    All of a sudden, Tian Qing bellowed, ��Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You��re lying! Our divine race is the race favored by heaven. It��s the supreme race! How is there beyond the heavens in this world? If there is, why has no one ever broken the shackles? You��re lying!��


    He could not accept this fact in front of him and also did not want to accept this fact.


    Being enslaved for billions of years and suddenly waking up, he would rather be immersed in the past too.


    Because he knew in the deepest corner of his heart that reality was too cruel.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Whether I��m lying or not, you��re clear of the truth, aren��t you? Of course, I don��t need to explain anything either. Because very soon, you��ll know that you have to face some things! Li-er, let��s go.��


    Yue Mengli nodded slightly and followed Ye Yuan and left.


    Watching the two people��s departing back view, Tian Qing��s fingers were almost crushed by himself.


    ��L-Lord Tian Qing, w-what on earth are we?�� Beside Tian Qing, Originsmile said with a blank face.


    Finally, Tian Qing loosened his fist and said with a bitter smile, ��What he said was right. We��re �� just a bunch of pitiful people, that��s all! I finally understand now, why he would let the divine race off!��


    �� ��


    Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, in the great hall, Yue Mengli, Wan Zhen, Lu-er, Fiery, Wan Zhen, Pang Zhen, Profound Secrets, and the rest, everyone was shockingly present.


    Everyone��s faces carried thick solemness.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was calm, without joy nor sorrow as he said coolly, ��Everyone, please forgive this Ye��s selfishness. The disaster was caused by me alone, it should naturally also be borne by me alone! It��s just that after I go, it will likely bode ill rather than well. Everyone, take care!��


    ��What��s Your Excellency saying? This isn��t your matter alone, this is the matter of all the martial artists in the Heavenspan World! Wan Zhen is willing to follow Your Excellency to the death!�� Wan Zhen said in a deep voice.


    ��Your Excellency, Pang Zhen is also a Dao Ancestor now! I can help out a bit no matter what! If Your Excellency is fighting against a powerful enemy, how can I, Pang Zhen, be missing?��


    Pang Zhen already became Dao Ancestor Lightning, he was naturally unwilling to hole up at home.


    Among those present were several Dao Ancestors, plus Ye Yuan, this sovereign.


    This was the Heavenspan World��s strongest combat force already.


    Everyone was not willing to yield to others and insisted on following Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You all don��t know what kind of existence you��re facing! My strongest attack will likely be unable to even shake him in the least bit! If you all go, it��s just to deliver yourselves to death!��


    Everyone trembled all over, all feeling incredulous.


    How strong Ye Yuan��s strongest attack was, nobody knew.


    They only knew that it was very, very strong!


    Because no one could measure it!


    Ye Yuan��s sword was already the Heavenspan World��s strongest!


    His full-strength attack was actually unable to even shake the other party in the least bit. Then how strong was the other party��s strength?


    ��The Chaos Heavenspan Canon and inheritance grand arrays, I��ve already left them in the Immortal Grove World. Some things must be done by someone! If I��m defeated, I also don��t hope for the Heavenspan World to be caged by people forever. In the future, if a fated individual can reach my realm, they will naturally have a chance to break the shackles and break this sky! This matter, I don��t feel at ease handing it over to others, better that you guys go and do!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, go then, I��ll wait here for you!�� Yue Mengli said with a calm expression.


    But her eyes revealed determination.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and nodded, and did not say much.


    He understood Li-er��s feelings. If he died, Li-er absolutely would not live on by herself.

 Chapter 2512 - : He Came From the Sky!

    On Heavenspan Mountain, everything felt the same.


    Many martial artists were cultivating here, comprehending Dao.


    Above one million miles, many Deva powerhouses and Heavenly Emperor powerhouses were currently gaining enlightenment of Heavenly Dao.


    This place was the Heavenspan Mountain��s limit.


    Even Dao Ancestors were unable to go further too.


    Further up, cloud and mist coiled, no sun could be seen all year round.


    If anyone walked beyond that point, they would be executed by Heavenly Dao and absolutely could not escape by any fluke.


    After the Heavenly Dao Samsara battle, Dao Ancestor Storm had nowhere to go and simply returned to the Heavenspan Mountain and continued comprehending Heavenly Dao.


    Although his realm was unable to improve any further, the power of rule could!


    Suddenly, he sensed something and suddenly opened both eyes, looking up the mountain fixedly.


    There was actually someone walking down!


    Storm opened his mouth wide, shock written all over his face!


    Not just him, the Deva powerhouses and Heavenly Emperor powerhouses below, all saw this scene!


    Everyone was inexplicably shocked!


    This �� How is this possible? Who is he? T-To actually come down the mountain! Is it possible that he �� he��s actually from heaven? Storm roared wildly in his heart.


    He did not know how he felt currently in his heart.


    Shock?


    Scared?


    Happy?


    Or all at the same time!


    Someone came from the sky. It showed that above the Heavenspan Mountain, there were really gods that kind of existences!


    Therefore, he had hope too?


    Even if this hope was bleak to the extreme.


    But what kind of existence was this person?


    Fear of the unknown was innate to humans.


    Gradually, that figure slowly became clear. The outline of his face also gradually became clear.


    That was a young man dressed in blue Taoist robes, looking elegant, luxurious, and too high beyond reach.


    Dao Ancestor Storm could not see through this young man. He was too mysterious!


    Mysterious until he was like heaven!


    This feeling made him afraid.


    The young man walked straight towards him.


    Dao Ancestor Storm��s heart thumped wildly.


    A warm but distant smile hung on the young man��s face as he opened his mouth and said, ��Let me ask you. Who �� destroyed the Eight Extreme Divinities?��


    ��E-Eight Extreme Divinities?�� Dao Ancestor Storm shook his head blankly. Clearly, he did not know what the Eight Extreme Divinities was.


    The Eight Extreme Divinities was the secret of the divine race. Apart from Ye Yuan, even Dao Ancestors were not aware of it.


    No one could fight until the Heaven Lineage��s central region and see the Eight Extreme Divinities.


    Except for Ye Yuan!


    Therefore, no one knew what the Eight Extreme Divinities was.


    Seeing Dao Ancestor Storm shake his head, the young man had a look of disappointment and said, ��Sigh, communicating with ants is really boring! Since you don��t know, then you can go and die already.��


    Only to see the young man flick his finger lightly, a streak of invisible force vanished after a flash.


    Bang!


    Before Dao Ancestor Storm could react, his entire person already turned into nothingness.


    Everyone was transfixed!


    They were shouting madly in their hearts, that was a Dao Ancestor!


    Although it was a former Dao Ancestor, his strength when compared to current Dao Ancestors, was also not a lot worse!


    But he actually did not have any strength to fight back in front of this young man!


    In fact, he could not even react!


    How horrifying was this person?


    Even the present Heavenspan World��s supreme being, Lord Saint Azure, could not do it so casually too, right?


    What was even scarier was that they could not feel the undulation of power at all.


    No earth-shaking great battle, no energy undulation.


    With just a flick, Dao Ancestor Storm was gone!


    His entire person was gone!


    Strong!


    Unreasonably strong!


    Suffocatingly strong!


    Furthermore, wasn��t it impossible to attack while being on the Heavenspan Mountain?


    Why could he?


    The young man had a bored look, shaking his head as he muttered under his breath, ��Ants are ants, really too weak!��


    To him, it was as if he had done a trivial thing.


    His gaze swept slightly, landing on that group of Deva powerhouses.


    The group of powerhouses immediately felt their hair stand on end.


    The young man thought for a moment and walked straight in front of a Deva Fifth Blight.


    He was called Wei Feng, he had just experienced the battle of Heavenly Dao Samsara and obtained a considerable lucky chance on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    His strength also made great improvements.


    It was just that at this time, he did not even dare to move, almost suffocating.


    The young man still had a warm smile on his face as he asked, ��These ants probably don��t know about the Eight Extreme Divinities! Uhh �� Why not change questions, do you know who��s the strongest in the Heavenspan World?��


    Being able to shatter the Eight Extreme Divinities and destroy his trace of origin divinity, it was definitely this Heavenspan World��s strongest person.


    Not everyone had the qualification to break the Eight Extreme Divinities.


    ��S-Strongest?�� Wei Feng��s brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    The impact that the scene that happened before his eyes brought to him was seriously too great.


    A powerhouse that came down from the sky!


    Eradicating a Dao Ancestor with a flick of a finger!


    He was talking to him!


    ��You don��t know either?�� The young man��s face was rather disappointed.


    All the hair on Wei Feng��s body stood on end at once.


    His brain instantly switched back on.


    ��I-I know! D-Don��t kill me!�� Wei Feng practically roared it out.


    ��Who is it?�� The young man said.


    ��H-He��s called Ye Yuan!�� Wei Feng said.


    ��Ye Yuan?��


    The young man ruminated on this name for a while, feeling that it was very ordinary, and said, ��Where is he?��


    How could Wei Feng dare to hide it? He hurriedly said, ��H-He��s at the Southern Border��s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma!��


    The young man nodded slightly and took off, flying out.


    Boom!


    The Heavenspan Mountain shook fiercely. A human-shaped large hole was actually burst open in the layer of barrier outside!


    Everyone opened their mouths wide, looking at this scene with incredible shock.


    ��This �� This �� The Heavenspan Mountain��s barrier exists only in name!��


    ��W-Who on earth is he? Why can he come down from the sky?��


    ��T-Too strong!��


    �� ��


    After the young man left, Wei Feng gasped heavily for air, his body like he was hauled out of water.


    He was almost fainting.


    The pressure that this young man put on him was really too great!


    Furthermore, he instantly killed a Dao Ancestor, and he ignored the barrier of the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Such an existence, he could not imagine at all.


    By the side, another Deva Fifth Blight roared, ��Y-You actually betrayed Lord Saint Azure! You deserve death!��


    Wei Feng had a bitter smile on his face as he said, ��If it were you, would you say or not? Even if you and I don��t say, can it guarantee that the people on this Heavenspan Mountain all won��t say?��


    The moment that person heard, he fell silent.


    It was this logic!


    If the young man set his mind on inquiring about it, he could find out no matter what.


    Ye Yuan this strongest person, no one did not know!


    Wei Feng had a conflicted look and said, ��H-Hope that Lord Saint Azure can pull through!��


    These words, he said them without any confidence at all.


    The pressure that this young man put on him was really too great.


    That person opposite suddenly sprang up and roared, ��Still cultivating for what?! Hurry up and follow him! That young man came with bad intentions. Another bloody storm is likely coming again!��


    Wei Feng��s entire body trembled and he also stood up quickly. But his legs went soft and he almost fell.


    But he immediately recovered and swept over in the direction of the transmission array.


    The others were the same too, not caring about cultivation at all and followed suit.

 Chapter 2513 - One Finger!

    Above the void, a figure flickered, moving 100 thousand miles in an instant.


    Leaving Heavenly Eagle, Ye Yuan headed to Heavenspan Mountain at the fastest speed!


    He judged that if that person behind the Eight Extreme Divinities came to the Heavenspan World, the greatest likelihood would be Heavenspan Mountain.


    Ahead, the Heavenspan Mountain was faintly visible.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, an extremely fast figure brushed past him!


    At virtually the same time, the two people��s figures suddenly came to a pause.


    Following that, the two people each turned around and looked at the other person.


    Opposite Ye Yuan was a young man in blue Taoist robes. It was precisely that person who came down from the sky!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, immediately feeling tremendous pressure.


    He could not see through this young man!


    Actually, the blue-robed youth did not deliberately apply pressure on him. The smile on his face was also very warm, as if harmless to man and beast.


    But it was precisely because there was no pressure that Ye Yuan��s pressure was akin to a mountain!


    The him who was already invincible in the Heavenspan World saw another tall mountain!


    The blue-robed youth sized up Ye Yuan and said smilingly, ��If I didn��t guess wrongly, you should be the Ye Yuan that they were talking about.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said with a nod, ��You��re the Eight Extreme Divinities�� true self?��


    The blue-robed youth smiled and said, ��Huhu, that��s right! Looks like the one who destroyed the Eight Extreme Divinities is you. No mistakes! Mmm, grand completion Mortal Stratum, low-grade chaos origin divinity, five power of rules. You��re indeed somewhat different from the other ants! In this abandoned world, you actually fumbled out the method to advance to Heavenly Stratum yourself! You have the qualification to be my servant. Kneel down and receive the gift. In the future �� the Heavenspan World will be managed by you.��


    Unexpectedly, the blue-robed youth did not make a move to deal with Ye Yuan but wanted to take him in as a servant instead.


    The tone was so natural and logical.


    But Ye Yuan felt his hair stand on end.


    He seemed to be stark naked in front of the other party.


    There was no secret from head to toe.


    The blue-robed youth casually spoke and saw through all of his trump cards!


    Terrifying!


    Although Ye Yuan was mentally prepared long ago, at this moment, he was still shocked to the core.


    He really wanted to know what kind of existences were above the Heavenspan Mountain!


    The blue-robed youth said coolly, ��Mn? You��re not willing? You should know the outcome of showing unwillingness.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said in a solemn voice, ��You made use of the Eight Extreme Divinities to impart Dao teachings. Then you collected those things in the divine souls. What is it for?��


    The blue-robed youth stood with his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile, ��Looks like you know quite a bit! No harm telling you either. Although you all, these ants, are of little use, the essence of your divine souls are still a little useful. It can help me cultivate the origin divinity. The Heavenly Dao that the divine race cultivates, is actually just the Dao teachings that I passed down. When they cultivate Heavenly Dao, they will offer their own divine soul essence to me. And the people they killed, the other party��s essence of the divine soul will be absorbed and will enter the Eight Extreme Space. This is the glory of you ants!��


    At this time, a large number of powerhouses already gathered around in the distance.


    Hearing this, they were all extremely indignant.


    Only then did they understand that they were merely wild animals being reared in pens!


    In the eyes of the blue-robed youth, they were nothing more than a grain of dust, their life or death insignificant.


    Angry but also powerless!


    They all, these powerhouses that came down from the Heavenspan Mountain, had already witnessed the blue-robed youth��s might.


    ��Really damn it! The Heavenspan World��s trillions of living things are actually being toyed with in the palm of his hand!��


    ��What Doomsday Battle, what war between two races, really a joke! It��s really laughable!��


    ��Lord Saint Azure, the Heavenspan World��s everything will be relying on you!��


    �� ��


    At this time, all of the powerhouses put their hopes on Ye Yuan.


    They knew that the only hope was Ye Yuan!


    Even Dao Ancestors did not have the strength to fight back under the hands of the blue-robed youth. Who else could they still count on?


    But at this time, the corners of the blue-robed youth��s mouth curled slightly, and he flicked his fingers.


    Only to hear the sound of air howling!


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Several hundred Deva powerhouses, Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, directly vanished without a trace!


    ��Huhu, ants don��t have the right to be angry! All you need to know is that I��m heaven! The supreme heaven! You all can only grovel at my feet!�� The blue-robed youth had a faint smile as if he had done a trivial thing.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, a suffocating pressure coming at him head-on!


    Too strong!


    A flick of a finger eradicated hundreds of Devas and Heavenly Emperors!


    The crux was that he could not feel the slightest trace of divine essence undulation, and also could not feel the slightest rule undulation.


    It was just a flick of a finger!


    If Ye Yuan wanted to kill people, these Devas and Heavenly Emperors were naturally nothing.


    But he absolutely could not do it in such an effortless manner!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s shocked eyes, the blue-robed youth was very satisfied.


    He said with a faint smile, ��Saw that? It��s not the disparity of strength between you and me, but the disparity in life-order! In front of Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, all are ants! You��re the sovereign of a world, proud to the extreme. But in front of me, you don��t have any capital to be proud of! I only need to move a finger and I��ll be able to easily kill you! Taking you in as a servant is your highest glory, understand?��


    The blue-robed youth paused for a while and said, ��Now, kneel down and accept the gift!��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and forcefully dragged himself back from shock.


    Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��I refuse!��


    The blue-robed youth was not very surprised. He just smiled faintly and said, ��You��ll die.��


    He was really calm and collected!


    Nothing could make his emotions fluctuate.


    How could an ant possibly cause a celestial deity to have fluctuations in emotions?


    Ye Yuan��s gaze gradually turned cold and he said, ��Before fighting, who knows?��


    He, Ye Yuan, had never lowered his head in front of a powerhouse before.


    A scholar prefers death to humiliation!


    Back then, he was just Empyrean Realm but dared to face off against the powerful Nineorigin.


    This kind of battle, he had already experienced no idea how many of them.


    This time was no exception either.


    However, the blue-robed youth did not get angry. He still had a faint smile as he said, ��Very well, I��ll give you this chance! I��ll use one finger against you. If you can force me to use a hand, you��ll have the qualification to know my name!��


    One finger!


    These words were rampant to the extreme!


    The Heavenspan World powerhouses in the distances were similarly astonished to the extreme!


    Ye Yuan was the Heavenspan World��s sovereign!


    The well-deserved number one person!


    Now, this blue-robed youth was actually going to use one finger to fight!


    Was this showing contempt?


    No!


    Everyone present could feel that this blue-robed youth was not the least bit complacent.


    He was not overly conceited like a young genius. He just showed contempt for all life!


    He looked at Ye Yuan with the eyes of looking at an ant from beginning to end!


    Would heaven bother about ants?


    No!


    Because they were unworthy!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze gradually became cold.


    Boom!


    A fearsome sword intent instantly enveloped the area of a thousand miles.


    Universe Sword Formation!


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, it was his strongest move!


    Because he knew that hiding his strength in front of the blue-robed youth was equivalent to courting death!


    He had no retreat at all!


    Situated inside the sword formation, the blue-robed youth still stood with his hands behind his back, using a scrutinizing gaze to look at the Universe Sword Formation. He nodded his head slightly.

 Chapter 2514 - The Pride of Ants!

    ��Not bad. Developing a universe with a sword formation, it has quite the implication of Great Dao. This move is not bad.��


    The blue-robed move nodded with a slight smile, making frivolous remarks about Ye Yuan��s Universe Sword Formation.


    Facing such a powerful sword formation, he seemed to be in his own backyard, not caring at all.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he activated the sword formation fiercely!


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh ��


    Countless sword light flashed, turning into streaks of rainbow, heading straight for the blue-robed youth.


    However, the blue-robed youth did not have the intention of retaliating.


    He just stood there quietly, waiting for the arrival of the countless sword lights.


    In the next second, everyone was dumbfounded with shock!


    Those terrifying sword lights, no matter from which angle, no matter how powerful, as long as they approached the blue-robed youth, they would all automatically change directions!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The ground, the void, all were directly bombarded by the sword lights until it was reduced to fragments.


    But not a single sword light landed on the blue-robed youth��s body!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. His divine sense was actually unable to lock onto the blue-robed youth.


    Once those sword lights arrived in front of the other party, they directly skidded out like skiing on a snowy day.


    No matter how he tried to control it, he could not do so!


    But the other party clearly did not do anything!


    This means was simply inconceivable!


    His heart shook wildly. It was really his first time encountering such a powerless battle.


    Even back then in the Immortal Grove World, when he had not entered Divine Dao, he had never felt so powerless before too.


    The opponent was too strong!


    Strong until there was no opening to look for!


    Strong beyond understanding!


    Ye Yuan could not even fathom the other party��s means. So how to deal with him?


    At this time, the blue-robed youth finally moved.


    He extended a finger and tapped inside the sword formation just like that.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the sword formation collapsed with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan only felt a tremendous force transmit over, his chest seemingly being hit by a giant mountain, fresh blood spurting wildly as he flew out backward.


    This was the power of one finger!


    The entire world fell deathly silent.


    Those powerhouses far away were collectively rendered speechless.


    ��I �� Are my eyes failing me?��


    ��This is impossible! Lord Saint Azure is actually like a child in front of him!��


    ��Where in the world did he come from? How can he be so strong?��


    �� ��


    The impact that this scene brought to them was seriously too strong.


    It was Ye Yuan��s first time displaying the Universe Sword Formation in front of everyone. But everyone could tell that this move fused together four great rules!


    Compared to when battling the five ancestors alone previously, this move was more than a level stronger!


    However, it was like a joke in front of the blue-robed youth!


    One finger and it broke!


    The Heavenspan World��s number one person was actually so weak in front of the blue-robed youth!


    Only after retreating several miles away did Ye Yuan barely manage to stabilize his figure.


    And the current him seemed to have crawled out of a pool of blood, seemingly wretched to the extreme from head to toe.


    The blue-robed youth smiled and said, ��I told you, our disparity is in life-order! You��re no different from them in my eyes. At the very most, you��re just a slightly stronger ant. That��s all. Dealing with you, one finger is enough.��


    Ye Yuan��s breathing became labored, his opponent was seriously too strong.


    However, his gaze was unprecedentedly firm.


    ��Your cocky appearance is really despicable! So what if ant? Do ants have to be toyed with in the palm of your hands? Ants have to be fish on your chopping board, life and death at your whims? Ants have to be at your mercy, being cruelly oppressed forever? Today, this Ye will tell you that ants �� have dignity too!��


    Ye Yuan strode out step by step, the imposing aura on his body becoming stronger and stronger.


    Universe Sword Formation revolved without ceasing and already gradually underwent changes.


    Dual Polarity Sword Formation!


    Toward Ye Yuan��s fury, the blue-robed youth did not care at all. He still smiled and said, ��What dignity do ants need? Huhu, this changed sword formation is a little interesting! THIS, is Sword Dao, revealing the sharp edge, sword intent soaring to the sky! It��s just that ants will always be ants. Very soon, you��ll understand that your fury can��t change anything.��


    Swoosh!


    The moment Dual Polarity Sword Formation released, that swift and fierce sharp edge penetrated the firmament!


    The entire world seemed to be trembling!


    ��Kill!��


    Ye Yuan shouted fiercely, then urged the Dual Polarity Sword Formation frenziedly.


    At this moment, there were only sword lights that filled the sky!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Countless sword energy exploded in front of the blue-robed youth!


    Under his fury, the power of the Dual Polarity Sword Formation was more than ten times stronger!


    It was just that no matter how he controlled, his sword lights were unable to land on the blue-robed youth��s body.


    But Ye Yuan discovered that his sword lights got a little closer to the blue-robed youth!


    This discovery made him ecstatic with joy!


    The other party was not invincible!


    At least, one finger was not enough!


    The chaos divine essence within his body gushed out, urging the sword formation frenziedly without heed for his life.


    The power of the Dual Polarity Sword Formation was continuously superimposing!


    His sword lights got closer and closer to the blue-robed youth, increasingly nearer.


    ��Really the wishful thinking of an ant! Huhu, do you think that this degree of attack can hurt me?��


    The blue-robed youth smiled slightly and pointed a finger out again.


    It was still one finger!


    However, this poke could poke a hole in the sky!


    A finger pointing out, an invisible force directly exploded with him as the base point.


    ��Conceal!��


    ��True Dragon Profound Armor!��


    Ye Yuan roared repeatedly.


    All of a sudden, the sword lights that covered the sky disappeared without a trace!


    This finger landed directly on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Forcibly receiving a finger, Ye Yuan vomited large mouthfuls of blood.


    But he did not take a single step back!


    ��Appear!��


    The sword lights that covered the skies appeared once again!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    The sword lights were finally only an inch away from the blue-robed youth.


    Just an inch short!


    The blue-robed youth��s brows raised up, revealing a hint of surprise.


    Following that, his finger turned into a palm, and the void shook!


    Boom!


    The sword lights that covered the sky could not bear it anymore and collapsed with a loud bang.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Ye Yuan could not withstand it, vomiting large mouthfuls of blood again.


    Even if there was the True Dragon Profound Armor coupled with the perfect Nine Transformations Golden Body, forcefully receiving this finger, he almost died!


    This finger was far too strong!


    What was even scarier was that the blue-robed youth did not exert any effort at all!


    A casual finger could seriously injure Ye Yuan and put him on the verge of death!


    The blue-robed youth said coolly, ��Not bad, a little interesting! As an ant, you can be sufficiently proud to be able to force me to use one hand! You have the qualification to know my name! Listen up. I��m called Jun Tian, and I am from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    It was as if Ye Yuan knowing his name was a supreme glory.


    But Ye Yuan only had bitterness in his heart.


    Proud?


    He used his strongest attack and even forcibly received a finger at his own expense. In the end, it could only force him to use one of his hands.


    This was humiliation!


    ��Now, you should know the disparity between us, right? Why haven��t you knelt down to receive the gift? This is the last chance!�� Jun Tian��s tone was calm but exuded a majesty that brooked no refusal.


    The powerhouses present all choked!


    Lost all hope!


    The Heavenspan World��s sovereign was actually too weak to stand up to a single blow!


    Heavenspan World��s number one person, was actually only fit to be someone else��s servant!


    Everyone shut their eyes painfully, feeling unprecedented humiliation.


    ��H-Huhu, hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan��s mouth was full of blood when he suddenly burst out laughing.


    ��Kneel my ass! Your Grandpa Ye will only die standing and will never kneel to live! So what if Heavenly Stratum powerhouse? If you have the capability, come and kill your Grandpa Ye!��

 Chapter 2515 - Tragic!

    ��I-It��s over!��


    ��Sigh! Lord Saint Azure��s pride rises to the sky. How can he stand such humiliation?��


    ��Really unwilling! But, the opponent is too strong!��


    �� ��


    The Heavenspan World��s powerhouses were full of sorrow.


    Weakness was the original sin!


    At this time, they were so powerless!


    Even the powerful Lord Saint Azure also ended up in such a plight.


    And the smile on Jun Tian��s face was finally reined in.


    He was unhappy.


    Not angry, because ants were not worthy of him being angry.


    But this did not mean that ants could scold him!


    ��Impervious to reason! I��ve already given you the chance. Since you don��t know how to cherish it, then pay the price for the destruction of the Eight Extreme Divinities!��


    It was only to see his figure sway and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    He was actually face-to-face with Ye Yuan already!


    Ye Yuan��s world domain had always been open.


    Jun Tian directly passed through his domain!


    This was the first time!


    Ye Yuan only felt that every pore opened up. He used teleport without the slightest hesitation.


    Swoosh!


    In an instant, he left Jun Tian��s range.


    However, in the next second, Jun Tian appeared in front of him again.


    It was still that distance, a look of indifference and disdain.


    ��A small chiliocosm��s spatial law? It��s really quite good! Unfortunately �� it��s too weak!��


    A faint smile hung on Jun Tian��s face, a finger already pressing on Ye Yuan��s chest.


    Pffft!


    A blood arrow spurted out of Ye Yuan��s back. His chest was pierced right through by a burst of energy!


    His body flew towards the ground like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the ground.


    The ever-victorious spatial teleport ceased to be effective too!


    Ye Yuan��s teleport through his small world was actually unable to escape Jun Tian��s control too!


    This Jun Tian was simply too strong!


    Jun Tian slowly unleashed his palm. A powerful suction force transmitted over. Ye Yuan who was underground was actually directly sucked up.


    It was only to see him shake his head slightly. He said with a sigh, ��An ant also dares to fight for glory with heaven, you really don��t know life from death! Do you know that if I wanted you to die, you��d have already died ten times over?!��


    ��Ptooey!��


    Ye Yuan used all of his strength and spat fiercely.


    It was just that that mouthful of blood already turned into nothingness before touching Jun Tian.


    Jun Tian��s gaze turned sullen. Another finger pointed at Ye Yuan��s knee.


    Pffft!


    Ye Yuan��s knee was directly crushed!


    ��Argh!�� Ye Yuan could not refrain from crying out miserably.


    ��An ant should have the awareness of an ant! Offending heaven, wanting to die �� won��t be that easy too!��


    As Jun Tian said indifferently, he gently pressed a palm on Ye Yuan��s chest.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan spurted another mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    That speed was even faster than many Deva powerhouses!


    It could be seen how terrifying this light palm was.


    Ye Yuan only felt that from top to bottom, there was no piece of flesh that belonged to him anymore.


    Jun Tian grasped his sense of propriety very well, he did not give Ye Yuan a fatal blow. But the agony inflicted on Ye Yuan��s physical body was extremely intense.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    A palm, another palm.


    Ye Yuan just felt that his skeleton was about to be dismantled by Jun Tian.


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    Everyone looked at this scene blankly, not knowing what to do.


    Bang!


    Another palm, Jun Tian flattened Ye Yuan on the ground.


    He stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Yuan indifferently, and said, ��Speaking of which, being angry with an ant like you is beneath my dignity. It��s just that you destroyed the Eight Extreme Divinities beforehand, and you insulted afterward. I can��t tolerate you! However, I��ve grown tired of playing. You can go and die already! Before you die, I��ll let you see the true strength of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse!��


    Jun Tian flipped his palm over, an aura that made people shudder rose to the sky.


    That �� was the aura of Heavenly Dao!


    Everyone��s countenance changed visibly.


    Including Ye Yuan!


    This aura was too strong!


    This was the true Heavenly Dao!


    Jun Tian flipping his palm was like flipping the sky over!


    That power was practically going to break the Heavenspan World!


    ��This �� is a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse? Could it be that the next realm is Heavenly Stratum? It��s just, how the hell can I break through?�� A hint of helplessness flashed across in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Before coming, he already made the resolve to die.


    It was just that he did not expect that he was actually unable to even touch the corners of Jun Tian��s sleeves.


    Good-for-nothing!


    Unwillingness!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    �� ��


    All of a sudden, several figures sprang out, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, opening his hazy eyes, and his pupils constricted.


    Yue Mengli, Pang Zhen, Fiery, Profound Secrets, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Ni Xuan, and the six great Dao Ancestors, all came!


    Apart from them, Tian Qing led Originsmile and Bo Yi three great Dao Ancestors as well as the other four great progenitors, and all appeared!


    Nine great Dao Ancestors had all arrived!


    ��Y-You guys!�� Ye Yuan��s breath was weak as he said.


    Yue Mengli turned her head and said with a smile, ��Sorry, Big Brother Yuan. Li-er can��t watch indifferently without lending a hand! What Elder Sister Lingxue can do, Li-er can do it too!��


    Profound Secrets said with an indifferent look, ��Ye Yuan, the Heavenspan World isn��t your Heavenspan World alone! What you said is right. We��ve been frogs at the bottom of a well for too many years, just like the human race back then, being afraid to even face the outside world! Today, we��ll face it together!��


    At this time, the vacant look Tian Qing��s face had already been swept away fully.


    He had his back facing Ye Yuan and said with some melancholy, ��Ye Yuan, I��m the Heavenspan World��s sinner! Today, this ancestor is here to atone for my sins!��


    Tian Qing��s back view was indescribably lonely.


    Sometimes, the truth was this cruel.


    For countless years, he had been nothing more than Jun Tian��s chess piece.


    He was an executioner. How many Heavenspan World compatriots had he butchered?


    Ever since recovering, he had fallen into deep self-reproach.


    He knew that it was Ye Yuan who liberated them and let them return to themselves.


    He was deeply grateful to Ye Yuan.


    So, he came.


    He was going to atone for the divine race!


    Suddenly, Jun Tian put down his palm. That astonishing aura immediately disappeared without a trace.


    ��Huhu, these �� are all people around you, right? If they die in front of you one by one, you should be in agony, right?�� Jun Tian looked at everyone behind Ye Yuan and said with a slight smile.


    It was just that that smile exuded a cruel smell.


    Yue Mengli��s brows furrowed slightly and she said in a solemn voice, ��You��re really a cold-blooded and heartless person!��


    But Jun Tian did not care at all, smiling as he said, ��Ignorant ant! Don��t you know that Heavenly Dao is heartless?��


    Tian Qing snorted coldly and said, ��Attack together! How can our Heavenspan World��s Dao Ancestors have anyone who cravenly clings to life instead of braving death?��


    Everyone nodded one after another, the nine great Dao Ancestors plus four great progenitors charged toward Jun Tian with astonishing imposing momentum.


    It was just that Jun Tian still stood with his hands behind his back, moving back and forth indeterminately among the Dao Ancestors.


    No matter how powerful their imposing momentum was, it could not touch the corners of Jun Tian��s sleeves.


    ��Huhu, Dao Ancestor! How ridiculous! You guys are merely Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s toys, that��s all! Do you really take yourselves to be supreme existences? Ants are ants!��


    As he spoke, Jun Tian stomped his feet.


    Boom!


    The group of powerhouses was directly sent flying. Each person suffered serious injuries.


    Jun Tian��s haughtiness rose to the sky!


    It was just that he did not notice that the light in Ye Yuan��s eyes became brighter and brighter!

 Chapter 2516 - Transforming Dao!

    ��This �� This is simply toying with!��


    ��That Jun Tian is really too strong! Dao Ancestors are really ant-like existences in front of him.��


    ��He��s intent on toying with the Dao Ancestors, otherwise, he could probably eradicate the Dao Ancestors with a flick of a finger!��


    �� ��


    In front of Jun Tian, the supreme Dao Ancestors also paled in comparison.


    Their earth-shaking big moves seemed to only serve as a foil to Jun Tian��s might.


    He wandered around in it. Suddenly he waved his sleeves casually, and several people were then seriously injured.


    It was just that no one shrunk back.


    After they fell, they stood up again.


    Fall down, stand up again.


    Coming here, they were already prepared to die.


    Boundless Moonlight, Limitless Samsara!


    Yue Mengli cried out, the terrifying ocular art aiming right at Jun Tian.


    Jun Tian just smiled slightly and said, ��Huhu, pretty good ocular art. Unfortunately �� your Dao teachings were passed down by me. Isn��t it a little laughable to use it to deal with me?��


    Jun Tian gave Yue Mengli a glance. Yue Mengli��s mind shook and tasted sweetness at the back of her throat. Her divine soul immediately suffered heavy damage, and she spurted out a mouthful of blood wildly.


    Just one glance broke the Heavenspan World��s strongest ocular art.


    ��Be careful!��


    Suddenly, a cry entered Yue Mengli��s ears.


    Before she understood what was going on, she was knocked flying by a wall of meat, tumbling out heavily.


    ��L-Lord Tian Qing!�� Yue Mengli discovered that the person pressed on top of her was precisely Tian Qing.


    Just now, at the critical moment, Tian Qing blocked in front of her.


    The current Tian Qing did not have an intact spot from top to bottom. He was only hanging in there with one last breath.


    He forcibly took Jun Tian��s finger and already had his life force severed.


    Tian Qing��s mouth dribbled blood as he smiled miserably and said, ��Little Li, t-this blow, just take it as �� repaying my debt! I-I��m sorry!��


    His life force was dissipating rapidly, there was no hope already.


    Yue Mengli��s eyes were filled with tears as she cried bitterly, shaking her head as she said, ��No, you didn��t let me down! Y-You were a good elder!��


    Tian Qing��s breath was weak as he said, ��The �� sins that I��ve committed are too serious. Ten thousand deaths can��t absolve me from the blame! Huhu, it��s a pity that �� I can only die once! I �� I hate it!��


    Tian Qing used his last breath and howled at the sky.


    Then, he closed his eyes and passed away all of a sudden.


    His life force had already been completely cut off, there was no possibility of surviving anymore.


    ��Lord Tian Qing!�� Yue Mengli cried bitterly, beyond description.


    She naturally had hate toward Tian Qing.


    It was just that, she distinguished it clearly.


    In the divine race, Tian Qing could be said to have spared no effort in nurturing her.


    This kindness, Yue Mengli must accept it.


    Yue Mengli was a reasonable person. She knew that the fault did not lie with Tian Qing.


    Even Ye Yuan forgave Tian Qing. So what reason did she have to not forgive?


    Now, Tian Qing died on the spot in order to save her, how could she not feel heartache?


    ��Jun Tian, I��ll fight it out with you!�� Yue Mengli��s wrath billowed to the sky, rushing forward without heed for her personal safety.


    But on the other side, Jun Tian casually smacked, and directly smacked Pang Zhen onto the ground, smashing a large pit in the ground.


    Pang Zhen struggled several times but failed to struggle to his feet.


    Yue Mengli��s Heavenly Dao True Martial activated and she rushed toward Jun Tian without caring for her life.


    The corners of Jun Tian��s mouth curled slightly, and he said, ��Huhu, ignorant ants! This kind of fury doesn��t have the slightest function. Uh �� although you��re an ant too. Your looks are not bad. In the future, follow me! After I kill them, I��ll bring you out of this forsaken place.��


    Finished talking, he casually pointed and Yue Mengli directly fainted away.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Jun Tian knocked everyone to the ground with one hand each.


    ��Alright, just about got tired of playing. It��s time to send you all on your way. This forsaken place, even the air is filthy. It really makes me uncomfortable all over!�� Jun Tian had a look of disgust and walked toward Yue Mengli, about to bring her away.


    But right at this time, Jun Tian��s expression changed, and he looked in Ye Yuan��s direction with astonishment.


    No idea since when, Ye Yuan actually already stood up.


    His gaze was staring fixedly at Jun Tian, the aura on his body was in the midst of rising crazily.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the spiritual energy on Heavenspan Mountain completely erupted.


    The heaven and earth spiritual energy all around, was seemingly like surging floodwaters, rolling in.


    An illusory figure appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Gray pupils!


    White robes!


    That was precisely the gray-pupiled Ye Yuan!


    Only to see Ye Yuan say coolly, ��From now on, you��ll be Heavenly Dao! Transforming! Dao!��


    Ye Yuan pointed at the void, the gray-pupiled Ye Yuan dissipated with a loud bang.


    Transforming into countless filaments, it burrowed into Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan��s small world underwent earth-shaking changes with a rumble!


    The originally lifeless world became lively all of a sudden.


    Grass was taking root, seedlings broke out of the soil, and started to grow green leaves.


    Overflowing with vitality!


    The sun, moon, and stars cycled without rest.


    Mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas flowed in continuous streams!


    Everything seemed to be operating according to some kind of law.


    The current Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky, with a feeling of overlooking all life.


    He felt that he had become heaven!


    Endless spiritual energy poured into the small world crazily, helping him to develop all life.


    Jun Tian opened his eyes wide, the calm and collected expression on his face had changed for the first time.


    He sucked in a deep breath and said in shock, ��This �� How is this possible? How can an ant possibly understand the art of transforming Dao? In this forsaken place, there��s actually someone �� who can break through to Heavenly Stratum?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze never left Jun Tian from start to end.


    ��Heavenly Dao is heartless! Heh, what a fine Heavenly Dao is heartless! Jun Tian, I really have to thank you so much! Without your reminder, it probably wouldn��t have been so easy if I wanted to break through!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Jun Tian was stunned when he heard that, only then recalling what he said earlier.


    Heavenly Dao is heartless!


    He was shocked. This guy found the turning point to break through to Heavenly Stratum through this sentence?


    A casual remark sounded significant to an attentive listener.


    Jun Tian did not expect that his thoughtless sentence actually created a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse!


    This guy��s talent was too monstrous!


    In reality, Ye Yuan had been stuck at this step for a long time already.


    He always felt that his small world was missing something.


    He had once thought of Heavenly Dao but did not know how to create Heavenly Dao.


    Heavenly Dao was a vague and insubstantial thing.


    No one knew what it was.


    But there was a heartless existence in Ye Yuan��s body!


    That guy did not have the slightest emotion.


    From when Ye Yuan��s chaos first started, it already appeared after Origin Pill Realm.


    Only a short while ago, Ye Yuan was still wondering whether the cultivation method he comprehended was correct or not.


    It was just that later on, his strength became stronger and stronger. His confidence in himself also grew stronger and stronger, resulting in overlooking this problem.


    In the end, Ye Yuan��s strength was already sufficient to suppress the gray-pupil Ye Yuan, and he did not need to worry anymore.


    Not worrying, he naturally overlooked it.


    But the word ��heartless�� filled Ye Yuan with enlightenment, suddenly seeing the whole thing in a clear light!


    It turned out that the gray-pupil Ye Yuan was not born without cause.


    He was Heavenly Dao!


    The most important step of breaking through to Heavenly Stratum also lay with precisely him!

 Chapter 2517 - Look at My Mouth Shape!

    ��Heh! Transforming Dao, this step, is the most dangerous. But you achieved the chaos origin divinity by chance. This step became very easy instead! You, boy, really have a heaven-defying destiny!�� Jun Tian marveled with amazement.


    Originally, Transforming Dao was the most dangerous in the process of breaking through to Heavenly Stratum.


    Not knowing the right way, it was very likely to suffer a backlash and lose yourself.


    Heavenly Dao was heartless. This was not said for fun.


    But Ye Yuan achieved the chaos origin divinity by coincidence.


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan��s divine soul already reached the level of Heavenly Stratum!


    Therefore, this step became the easiest for him actually.


    While surprise was surprise, Jun Tian did not seem to pay attention to Ye Yuan��s breakthrough.


    Someone who just broke through to Heavenly Stratum, furthermore, it was even a lower realm ant. Why would he take him seriously?


    Hence, he did not stop it at all. He watched with interest instead.


    Everything was still under his control!


    Ye Yuan��s physical body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    At this time, virtually the entire Heavenspan World��s spiritual energy was being used by him.


    Ye Yuan only felt that his divine soul was almost leaving his body.


    That refreshing feeling made every pore in his body relax.


    At this time, when he looked at the Heavenspan World again, the feeling was already totally different.


    It was like he was standing in the sky, looking at everything in the mortal world.


    Whatever Dao Ancestor, whatever Deva, whatever Heavenly Emperor, they were insignificant like ants on the ground.


    It was also no wonder that Jun Tian would be so scornful.


    Beneath Heavenly Dao, all were ants!


    He was heaven!


    This kind of feeling was too wonderful!


    ��Huhu, do you feel unprecedentedly great?�� Jun Tian said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Yes, really unprecedentedly good!��


    Jun Tian nodded his head and said, ��Therefore, the current you should be able to understand how I feel, right? The lives of ants aren��t worthy of respect.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, seemingly somewhat agreeing with it.


    Seeing this scene, the smile on Jun Tian��s face grew stronger.


    While the expressions of the others changed slightly.


    Especially those Heavenspan World powerhouses in the distance, their hearts sunk to rock-bottom.


    ��Lord Saint Azure he ����


    They were scared to the extreme. If Lord Saint Azure became a person like Jun Tian, then the Heavenspan World would really be finished.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said with a serious expression on his face: ��I understand �� my ass! Is a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse very impressive? Why don��t you take a piss and look at your own reflection? Who the hell do you think you are? You��re definitely an ant-like existence in the outside world too, right? Otherwise, why would you come to the Heavenspan World to find a sense of existence? A piece of trash like you can only bully people of the Lower Realms, right?��


    Ye Yuan deliberately dragged out the tone. Jun Tian revealed a look of amusement.


    But suddenly, Ye Yuan��s tone changed and his words shot out like a machine gun, hitting Jun Tian until he did not come back to his senses for a long time.


    But very soon, his expression turned dark.


    ��Huhu, very good! Looks like you��ve become high after you became a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse!�� Jun Tian said with a cold smile.


    ��Yeah, I��m very high right now! But very soon, you��ll be high too! You��ll go high up into the sky!�� Ye Yuan similarly responded with a sneer.


    When Heavenspan World��s people heard Ye Yuan��s words, their hearts finally settled down.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s words made them feel very liberated.


    Recollecting the aftertaste, they felt that Ye Yuan��s words make a lot of sense!


    True powerhouses did not deign to bother with ants.


    Only those people who failed to achieve their ambitions would look for a sense of existence in front of weaklings.


    Just like Ye Yuan, he would never take the initiative to go and bully the weak.


    His opponents were always those existences stronger than him!


    A hint of an amused smile showed on Jun Tian��s face, and he said, ��Huhu, do you know why I didn��t stop you when you broke through just now? Among Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, there is a vast difference in strength! Just like you now, you��re a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum. But, the disparity between Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum and Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum is huge too! For example, I can kill a lower Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum like you with a flip with my hand, understand?��


    ��Idiot!��


    Jun Tian said a whole bunch, but Ye Yuan was expressionless and replied with a word coolly.


    Jun Tian was taken aback and said in a solemn voice, ��What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan pointed at his own lips and said, ��Don��t understand? Look at the shape of my mouth, iiiiidiot! Now, do you understand?��


    This time, Jun Tian was really enraged.


    The muscles on his face were twitching.


    An ant like Ye Yuan provoked him time and again. He already reached the limit of patience.


    ��Very good! Looks like �� you really don��t know what��s called fear! Then �� I��ll let you know now!��


    Jun Tian flipped his palm over, that world-destroying power appeared once again!


    The horrifying to the extreme power made everyone��s faces change.


    Ye Yuan swept his sleeves grandly and directly swept Yue Mengli and the others away.


    ��Take them away! The further you run, the better! If there are any losses, you all will be held accountable!��


    These words were said to Wei Feng.


    Wei Feng��s entire body trembled, knowing that an apocalyptic great battle was about to start.


    This was the true Doomsday Battle!


    People like them, even if they watched the fight from afar, it was also impossible to be spared.


    ��Lord Saint Azure, rest assured. I definitely won��t fail you!��


    After he was done talking, Wei Feng brought the group of wounded people and sped away.


    Jun Tian did not stop this scene. Being merely a bunch of ants, he could annihilate them with a turn of his hand.


    The most important thing right now was to make this ant in front of him know fear!


    Above the sky, the cloud layer was extremely low, giving people an extremely constrained feeling.


    A blue ball emerged on Jun Tian��s hand.


    On the ball, electric light flashed, shocking to the core.


    ��Ants are ants. Even if you broke through to Heavenly Stratum, you��re still an ant!��


    Jun Tian��s figure flashed, instantly arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    That light-ball was directly pressed toward Ye Yuan.


    The void around the two people directly turned into a mass of nothingness.


    A hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly gave a big slap.


    Without deviating to the left or right, it landed right on Jun Tian��s body.


    This slap landing, it was as if the entire sky had fallen down!


    The power of this slap was actually much stronger than even Jun Tian!


    Bang!


    Jun Tian��s body was directly smacked into the ground.


    Being extremely far away, the figures of Wei Feng and the others suddenly paused, looking into the distance with shocked faces.


    Then, everyone exchanged glances, their gazes revealing wild elation.


    ��You all felt it, right?�� Wei Feng said.


    ��F-Felt it! The aura of the person from behind is definitely Lord Saint Azure! S-So strong!��


    ��But how can he be so strong? Even if he broke through to Heavenly Stratum, it��s also impossible to be stronger than the outside world��s powerhouses, right?��


    The severely wounded Originsmile suddenly said, ��It��s the power of the Heavenspan World! Ye Yuan borrowed the power of the Heavenspan World! Fighting against that Heavenly Stratum powerhouse with the power of a world!��


    He remembered that Ye Yuan had once executed it in the divine race before.


    One word repelled Heavenly Dao!


    Now, he definitely borrowed the power of the Heavenspan World!


    ��Excellent! We��re finally saved! Lord Tian Qing, you didn��t die in vain! The Heavenspan World is saved!�� Tears rolled down Originsmile��s old face.

 Chapter 2518 - : Ant, Don’t Use This Sort of Eyes to Look at Me!

    Boom!


    Jun Tian scurried out of the ruins, appearing rather ragged.


    His gaze was fixed on Ye Yuan, seemingly full of shock.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was currently meeting his eyes as he said coolly, ��Oh, an ant��s slap smacked you away. Now, aren��t you inferior to even an ant?��


    Jun Tian��s expression was indescribably ugly.


    Posturing until now, he actually had his face slapped.


    But he actually had nothing to say!


    ��Brat, you can actually control the Heavenspan World��s power! I really underestimated you! I didn��t expect that you actually concealed your abilities previously! Such shrewdness!�� Jun Tian said with a cold smile.


    ��Speaking of which, I still have to thank you! If not for your trace of origin divinity, I wouldn��t have learned this move! Uh, if I consider it like that, you really helped me quite a bit!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When Jun Tian heard that, he nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    His thoughtless words let Ye Yuan break through the shackles, becoming a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse.


    His origin divinity taught Ye Yuan how to mobilize the power of the Heavenspan World.


    Actually, it was not that Ye Yuan did not use it previously, but that he knew that it was also useless even if he used it.


    The power that he controlled was simply showing off in the presence of an expert in front of Jun Tian!


    Using it, he would die even faster instead.


    Now, he broke through to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, completely controlling Heavenly Dao.


    Through the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain��s power, he could mobilize the power of the Heavenspan Mountain perfectly.


    This was his powerful reliance!


    Jun Tian��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Brat, your cocky appearance really pisses me off!��


    Ye Yuan was still very calm and said coolly, ��Is that so? This cocky look was learned from you! Don��t you like to posture? Then I��ll let you see what it��s like to be postured by someone else.��


    Jun Tian nearly choked from anger. Ye Yuan��s calm and collected appearance currently was really very similar to his just now!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s appearance really nauseated him badly!


    An ant was actually posturing in front of him!


    Furthermore, he really achieved it!


    Nothing was more humiliating than this.


    ��Brat, there��s a price to pay for posturing! Therefore, you can go and die already! Heavenly Stratum powerhouses aren��t as simple as you think!��


    Jun Tian gave a cold snort, both hands suddenly kneading seals.


    Space fell into an intense tremor instantly.


    Rumble!


    ��W-What��s going on? What a terrifying power!��


    ��How is this possible? That Jun Tian actually hasn��t reached his limit yet?��


    ��T-This is the power of rule! It��s just that this power of rule is also too strong, right? Lord Saint Azure, he �� he��ll be alright, right?��


    �� ��


    Extreme far away, Wei Feng and the rest of the powerhouses were unable to control their bodies at all, falling down from the air one after another.


    It was not just them. At this time, there were even more Heavenspan World powerhouses who were unable to maintain their figures at all.


    In an instant, they seemed to have become mortals!


    Jun Tian��s casting of his spell thoroughly disrupted the Heavenspan World��s rules.


    At this moment, the strength of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was displayed in its entirety.


    His might subverted the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses�� understanding of power.


    ��Watch closely! THIS, is the true power of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse! Silverfeather Heaven Suppressing Palm!��


    Jun Tian struck a palm over. The void directly shattered, forming a huge black hole.


    In this black hole, even spatial turbulent flows were unable to get close.


    The might of the power could be imagined!


    This was already a power that surpassed the Heavenspan World!


    From start to end, Ye Yuan appeared very calm.


    Facing this terrifying palm, his expression did not change in the slightest.


    It was only to see him lightly raise a palm. Another slap smacked down.


    Bang!


    Jun Tian��s power collapsed with a loud bang!


    This time, jun Tian was directly smacked into the spatial turbulent flow.


    Wei Feng and the rest exchanged glances, with incredulous looks.


    This scene was too strange!


    They could not see the situation on the battlefield, but they could feel the outrageous undulations over there.


    Jun Tian��s terrifying attacks were directly shattered. How could they not feel it?


    Boom!


    Jun Tian flew back once more, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of apprehension.


    He felt that something was wrong!


    Too freaking wrong!


    How could he possibly be so strong?


    Ye Yuan still had that expression as he said coolly, ��Ant, don��t look at me with this kind of eyes. I��ll get angry.��


    Finished talking, he flung another slap over.


    Jun Tian��s expression changed, hurriedly raising his palm to block.


    It was just that, without the slightest surprise, he was smacked into the spatial turbulent flow once more.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    One slap after another; Jun Tian did not have the slightest strength to fight back, being smacked flying over and over again.


    The entire spatial turbulent flow had already turned into a chaotic mess.


    ��T-This is �� too monstrous! Too monstrous! Too �� freaking liberating! Lord Saint Azure, smack this guy to death! Let him posture! Let him posture!�� Wei Feng��s tone had a 180-degree turnabout, and tears actually flowed down his old face.


    Previously, he was in extreme despair!


    Jun Tian��s might practically scared the piss out of him.


    But now, he felt exaltation upon fulfillment!


    Jun Tian under Ye Yuan��s palm was like a dead dog, without any strength to fight back!


    Everyone present felt the same way!


    Too freaking liberating!


    ��Enough! I said, ENOUGH!��


    Jun Tian bellowed, a terrifying to the extreme power suddenly exploded.


    Ye Yuan was caught by surprise and was actually rocked backward.


    Jun Tian had a head of disheveled hair, his clothes tattered, gaze looking at Ye Yuan gloomily.


    But there was an additional azure long spear in his hand, emitting an astonishing power.


    His gaze was dark, clearly furious to the extreme.


    ��Brat, even if you can borrow the power of the Heavenspan World, it��s also impossible to be so strong! However, I also don��t want to know anymore, because �� I��m very furious right now! Therefore, you must die!��


    Jun Tian��s eyes were full of hatred.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was deliberately humiliating him, avenging the grudge from before.


    Yet, he actually did not have the strength to fight back.


    He thought that he could make Ye Yuan submit obediently with a pair of flesh palms.


    But he was wrong!


    Ye Yuan who had a calm look suddenly smiled.


    ��What a coincidence, I also feel that you must die!��


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan��s gaze gradually turned cold.


    Tian Qing��s corpse had not turned cold yet.


    The dead souls of the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses were still quivering in the void!


    In fact, he even wanted to encroach upon Li-er!


    Also, this enmity of ten billion years of enslavement!


    Everything and everything needed Jun Tian to repay!


    If he did not die, how could the hatred in Ye Yuan��s heart be dispelled?


    Jun Tian sneered and said, ��Ignorant ant, you completely don��t know what a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse is! This time, I��m going to be serious!��


    Only to see him wave his long spear, the aura on his body became stronger.


    This long spear could actually make his strength soar!


    However, the expression on Ye Yuan��s face did not change much.


    He still had a faint smile as he said, ��What a coincidence, I��m also going to be serious this time!��


    Ye Yuan lifted his palm, the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain appeared in his palm impressively!


    Jun Tian��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Heart of Heavenspan! You �� You actually refined the Heart of Heavenspan! This �� This is impossible!��


    But right at this time, the Heart of Heavenspan suddenly bloomed with light, turning into a streak of flowing light, flying toward the Heavenspan Mountain!

 Chapter 2519 - Pulling up Mountain With Strength, Unparalleled Imposing Aura!

    Boom!


    A loud noise came over. The Heart of Heavenspan directly fused into the Heavenspan Mountain.


    In the next moment, the earth quaked and mountains shook!


    Rumble ��


    The Heavenspan Mountain started trembling violently.


    Jun Tian��s expression changed wildly and he said in shock, ��T-The Heavenspan Mountain is �� being taken in by you?��


    The current Jun Tian felt like he had incredibly bad luck.


    He never dreamed that such a situation would actually occur.


    Ye Yuan was actually going to take in the Heavenspan Mountain!


    The Heavenspan Mountain was Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s heavenly spirit immortal treasure of the legends!


    Who could have thought that such a treasure would actually land in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    ��Yeah. Otherwise, how can I, this ant, beat you, this powerful Heavenly Stratum powerhouse?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    After breaking through to Heavenly Stratum, Ye Yuan��s mind became more agile as luck hit, suddenly feeling a sense of perfect harmony with the Heavenspan Mountain.


    It was also precisely because of this that he could easily smack Jun Tian flying.


    Otherwise, how could he, a newbie who just broke through to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, possibly be Jun Tian��s match?


    Ye Yuan also never thought that the Heavenspan Mountain, which all of the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses viewed as a cultivation holy land, was actually just a treasure!


    Such a treasure could actually be taken away!


    And the key to taking this treasure away was refining the Heart of Heavenspan.


    Ye Yuan stumbled blindly and refined the Heart of Heavenspan, and he created the Chaos Heavenspan Canon by blind chance, becoming a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse.


    In the end, he took in the Heavenspan Mountain with a random stumble!


    The moment it moved, it was earth-shattering!


    Currently, the entire Heavenspan World was in the midst of trembling.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the foot of the Heavenspan Mountain with a flash.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan directly reached a hand out and stuck it into the ground.


    The first feeling was heavy!


    Incomparably heavy!


    Ye Yuan��s complexion flushed bright red, using all the strength in his body.


    Although he refined the Heavenspan Mountain, he did not have the method to mobilize such a treasure at all.


    Even if his mind was linked with the Heavenspan Mountain and the Heavenspan Mountain became countless times lighter.


    But it was still unbelievably heavy!


    Rumble ��


    The Heavenspan Mountain moved!


    Jun Tian��s expression was indescribably ugly.


    ��This guy �� is really boorish! He doesn��t know the method to use the Heavenspan Mountain at all. So he��s actually pulling up the mountain with his bare hands! If you can take in the Heavenspan Mountain, that would be strange!�� Jun Tian said with a cold laugh.


    At the same time, he raised his spear again.


    Toward this kind of newbie, even if you gave him a supreme treasure, he would not know how to use it either!


    How could he possibly lose to this kind of rookie?


    While at this time, the entire Heavenspan World was shaking.


    Everyone fell into deep shock.


    Wei Feng and the rest had blank faces as they said in shock, ��What��s Lord Saint Azure doing? C-Could it be that he��s going to pull the Heavenspan Mountain up?��


    ��I-It��s impossible, right? The Heavenspan Mountain leads above the heavens! How can this kind of divine mountain possibly be pulled up with human strength?��


    ��What on earth is His Excellency trying to do? Could it be that he��s going to use the Heavenspan Mountain to deal with Jun Tian?��


    �� ��


    In this place, the Heavenspan Mountain was faintly visible.


    Ye Yuan��s astonishing aura could not be concealed no matter what, how could they not know what Ye Yuan was trying to do?


    But Jun Tian ignored these, brandishing the azure long spear in his hand. A similarly astonishing imposing momentum rose to the sky.


    ��Seven Cardinal Sky Howling Spear! This spear will let you know the outcome of resisting heaven!��


    His voice had yet to fade when Jun Tian��s expression suddenly changed wildly.


    ��Argh �� !��


    Rumble ��


    It was only to hear Ye Yuan give a long howl.


    The Heavenspan Mountain rose up from the ground!


    Jun Tian opened his mouth wide, having a look of disbelief.


    Below the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan��s figure was tall and straight.


    His two hands supported the Heavenspan Mountain, appearing somewhat strained.


    But he had indeed heaved it up!


    Boom!


    The moment the Heavenspan Mountain moved, the sky seemed to have had a hole poked in it.


    A thick to the extreme spiritual energy suddenly poured down.


    An enormous black vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, like a black hole.


    That appearance was seemingly like a stopper was pulled away by someone!


    In the Heavenspan World, everyone was inexplicably shocked, thinking that it was the end of the world.


    This scene was too shocking!


    Wei Feng��s pupils constricted and he cried out in alarm, ��P-P-Pulled up! Really pulled up! T-T-This �� How is this possible?��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan moved and took a step forward.


    The earth quaked and mountains swayed!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan took another step forward!


    Below the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan was insignificant as an ant.


    But his imposing momentum was astonishing like a celestial��s!


    Pulling up the mountain with strength, unparalleled imposing aura!


    Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum obstructed even the sky!


    Jun Tian already accumulated his momentum fully, only waiting for a suitable opportunity to unleash his spear.


    But now, he hesitated!


    ��Why? Aren��t you serious now? Thrust your spear! I, this ant, don��t even know how to use the Heavenspan Mountain. Could it be that you��ll feel scared too?�� Ye Yuan��s words were full of mockery.


    Jun Tian��s expression changed slightly, but his imposing momentum became weaker and weaker.


    Thrusting one��s spear paid great attention to momentum!


    Even if one reached Heavenly Stratum, this principle would not change too.


    His imposing momentum could poke a hole in the sky.


    But he encountered Ye Yuan!


    This guy was completely unreasonable!


    He pulled the mountain up!


    No matter how strong his momentum was, how could it possibly win the current Ye Yuan?


    Therefore, he was nervous!


    He was backing away!


    ��Huhu, didn��t you say that you��re heaven? The paramount heaven will actually be afraid of an ant? Laughable! Really ridiculous!��


    Ye Yuan returned all of Jun Tian��s mockery to him!


    He was still advancing, Jun Tian was still retreating.


    It was already impossible to unleash his spear!


    ��D-Damn it! You lunatic! Consider yourself ruthless! After I report the matter here to the sect, I want to see how you still be arrogant?!��


    Finally, Jun Tian put away the azure long spear, his figure moving, speeding toward the horizon.


    He did not dare to clash with Ye Yuan anymore!


    For example, this Heavenspan Mountain was ten thousand pounds in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    When it reached him with such strong momentum, it might be a million, or ten million pounds!


    His spear was likely to be smashed!


    The Heavenspan Mountain was a heavenly spirit treasure!


    His long spear was not on the same level at all!


    If Ye Yuan smashed the mountain over, how many tens of millions of pounds would that power be?


    It was just that, how could Ye Yuan let him go just like this?


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh, the divine essence within his body surging crazily. He used all the strength in his body and threw the Heavenspan Mountain out.


    Then, the Heavenspan Mountain smashed toward that figure above the sky amidst everyone��s astonished gazes.


    The speed was swift to the extreme!


    Jun Tian was currently sweeping past wildly, but the Heavenspan Mountain��s speed was too fast, and the size was too large!


    Nowhere to avoid!


    His pupils constricted, his scalp tingling.


    At this time, there was only forcefully resisting it!


    Boom!


    Jun Tian spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, feeling the bones all over his body were crumbling.


    The strike of a heavenly spirit treasure, the power was formidable to the extreme!


    However, a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was ultimately a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse. This kind of terrifying force still did not smash him to death.


    Borrowing the counter-shock force, his speed became even faster, directly flying into that mass of black vortex, disappearing!


    ��Ye Yuan, I��ve remembered today��s matter! The plane passageway is going to close. Even if you broke through to Heavenly Stratum, you can��t leave the Heavenspan World too! Wash your neck well and wait for death!��


    Only at this time did a sentence come over from the void.

 Chapter 2520 - Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!

    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, True Yang Heavenly Domain.


    There was a vast expanse of forest in front. Trees were vigorous and upright, luscious and green.


    There was a clearing in the forest, the clearing was overgrown with weeds.


    Amidst the weeds, a broken altar was faintly visible.


    Suddenly, the altar gave off a beam of light, and a figure appeared.


    ��Puhwark!��


    As soon as the figure appeared, he vomited a large mouthful of blood fiercely.


    It was only to see his figure sway, wanting to take two steps, but he vomited a mouthful of blood again.


    The severity of his wounds could be seen.


    This person was precisely the Jun Tian who had just escaped from the Heavenspan World!


    ��D-Damn it! My injuries are too heavy. I already can��t move! I really failed in this simple task, to actually let an ant hurt me until like this! However �� that heavenly spirit treasure! After my injuries recover, I must find a way to obtain the Heavenspan Mountain!��


    Thick greed flashed across in Jun Tian��s eyes.


    That collision from Ye Yuan truly startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep.


    He, this grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, was also knocked dazed and confused.


    But fortunately, the plane passageway was closed. Ye Yuan was unable to pass through!


    Otherwise, he would probably die on the spot right now.


    Putting away the heated gaze, Jun Tian took out a dark-gray medicinal pill and swallowed it, and started revolving his powers and regulating his breathing.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the altar exploded!


    Jun Tian was directly sent flying out by the huge impact.


    A figure dashed out and landed not far in front of Jun Tian.


    Jun Tian��s pupils constricted and he said in horror, ��Y-You �� How is it possible? The plane passageway is closed. It��s absolutely impossible for a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum to forcibly burst open! You �� How did you do it?��


    The current Jun Tian was terrified to the extreme.


    His injuries were extremely heavy and he was completely unable to fight anymore.


    But Ye Yuan forcibly broke through the plane barrier at this time; this was really terrible!


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, a hardy and heavy small mountain appeared.


    ��Used this to smash it open,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Jun Tian��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��Y-You subdued the Heavenspan Mountain? This �� How is this possible? You��re clearly ����


    ��I��m clearly a rookie who knows nothing, so how can I subdue the Heavenspan Mountain, is it? Really let you down. The Heavenspan Mountain��s method of control is hidden on the Heavenspan Mountain,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When Jun Tian heard that, he practically had an impulse to swear.


    This Heavenspan World was really a huge pit!


    Him jumping in now directly buried himself!


    Earlier on, Ye Yuan caused a great sensation in the Heavenspan World.


    That towering and lofty Heavenspan Mountain that had stood for countless hundreds of millions of years was actually gone!


    Gone ��


    The Heavenspan Mountain was taken away by Ye Yuan!


    At that moment, the entire Heavenspan World was plunged into deep fear and shock.


    The Heavenspan Mountain��s significance to the Heavenspan World��s martial artists could not be described using words at all.


    Now, the Heavenspan Mountain was gone. They already felt at a loss on what to do.


    This time, Jun Tian was really afraid!


    Jun Tian��s footsteps were falling back involuntarily.


    But Ye Yuan��s gaze was sizing up the surroundings.


    This place made him very uncomfortable.


    The air was filled with a powerful suppression force.


    That feeling was like someone walked into a gravity chamber.


    If Heavenspan World��s gravity was one, then the gravity here was ten thousand!


    The powerful restrictive force greatly limited his cultivation method and martial technique when they were displayed.


    Clearly, Jun Tian also sensed Ye Yuan��s abnormality.


    He smiled coldly and said, ��Brat, do you feel very uncomfortable? Heh, the 33 Heavens is the world of rules! There are no laws here, only rules! This place is heaven, the heaven that dominates a myriad of worlds! Entering here, all of your power will be infinitely suppressed! Right now, you can��t even fly. I want to see how you kill me!��


    Finished talking, Jun Tian��s figure flashed, speeding away into the depths of the dense forest.


    Ye Yuan just laughed coldly and urged the Heavenspan Mountain according to the spell recorded on the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Swoosh!


    The Heavenspan Mountain instantly turned into a streak of flowing light, chasing right after.


    Jun Tian was currently crying out in his heart about getting lucky when suddenly, he felt a powerful aura arrive with a howl from the rear.


    He was seriously injured to begin with. His strength had greatly diminished.


    At this time, how could he avoid it?


    Boom!


    The Heavenspan Mountain slammed right onto his body without the slightest surprise.


    Jun Tian spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell to the ground.


    Ye Yuan walked over unhurriedly and said indifferently, ��It doesn��t matter that my strength is suppressed. Don��t I still have the Heavenspan Mountain? Although I don��t know what grade of a treasure it is, being able to suppress a world, it��s definitely not what the long spear in your hands can compare to, isn��t that right? Therefore, I don��t need any cultivation method or martial technique at all. Directly using it to smash you will do.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan walking over step by step, Jun Tian really got scared!


    He underestimated the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Yeah, Ye Yuan did not need to compete with whatever cultivation method or martial technique with him at all.


    He just had to pick up the Heavenspan Mountain and smash people.


    Simple, yet crude!


    But very practical!


    ��Y-You can��t kill me!�� Jun Tian gasped heavily for air.


    ��Oh? Why?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��I��m the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect deacon. I have a life tablet in the sect. If you kill me, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect will definitely come and find you! Furthermore, the Heavenspan Mountain is the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s supreme treasure. If they know that you acquired the Heavenspan Mountain, they will definitely keep hunting you down! You can run, but what do you plan on doing with those people in the Heavenspan World?�� Jun Tian hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, this was a troublesome thing.


    However, Ye Yuan was naturally not willing to believe it easily.


    When Jun Tian saw that Ye Yuan was moved, he hurriedly said, ��You��ve felt Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s rule pressure too! If those friends of yours don��t break through to Heavenly Stratum Realm, it��s impossible to enter Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Otherwise, they will be crushed into minced meat by the Great Dao rules here!��


    ��As long as you don��t kill me, I can let you plant an origin divinity will and become your servant! You��ll definitely be entering Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and know absolutely nothing about the things here. Just nice, you need a servant!��


    There was an impulse to die in Jun Tian��s heart.


    When he entered Heavenspan World previously, he was planning on taking Ye Yuan in as a servant.


    Who knew that in a blink, he was actually going to take the initiative to become Ye Yuan��s servant? Such irony!


    After Jun Tian finished talking, he looked at Ye Yuan eagerly, waiting for his decision.


    Ye Yuan remained silent all along, also not knowing what he was thinking about.


    Jun Tian��s heart was fidgety to the extreme.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said, ��Is there a method that can let a wisp of spiritual consciousness regather the divine soul in this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?��


    Jun Tian hurriedly nodded and said, ��Of course! Of course, there is! The 33 Heavens is the pinnacle of myriad worlds, the most primitive of the land of rules! Forget about just a wisp of spiritual consciousness remaining, even a dead person can be revived too!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he was wildly ecstatic in his heart.


    However, he did not show it. He just said calmly, ��Oh? Then how can one regather the divine soul?��


    ��This �� This ���� Jun Tian smiled bitterly and said, ��I��m just Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, belonging to the lowest level existence in the 33 Heavens. How would I know how to regather the divine soul, this kind of heaven-defying means?��


    ��Oh? Then it��s no use keeping you, go to hell then!�� Ye Yuan said very calmly.

 Chapter 2521 - Jadetrue Anecdote

    ��Y-You really dare to kill me? I didn��t lie to you. Jadetrue Heavenly Sect will really come and find me!��


    Jun Tian��s expression changed, falling back repeatedly.


    He was really scared!


    Facing death, even if he was a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, he was unable to remain calm too.


    Ye Yuan pointed at the sky and said with a faint smile, ��Jun Tian, there are still many Heavenspan World martial artists who died wronged currently watching in heaven! If I were to let you go, they won��t let me off even if they become ghosts!��


    That smile carried a bone-piercing chill.


    Not long ago, he watched Tian Qing die in front of him with his own eyes, powerless to do anything!


    That strike, if not for Tian Qing, Li-er would have already perished!


    How could Ye Yuan let Jun Tian live?


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan urged the Heavenspan Mountain and directly smashed over toward Jun Tian.


    Bang!


    This blow struck right on his chest, directly knocking Jun Tian to the ground.


    Jun Tian��s two eyes rolled upward. He was only breathing in without breathing out anymore, no longer far from death.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was taken in by Ye Yuan. Although its size was not big, if it landed on someone, it was heavy to the extreme.


    Jun Tian was struck by the Heavenspan Mountain over and over again. How could he survive by luck?


    Ye Yuan did not hold back, controlling the Heavenspan Mountain to smash two more times, and Jun Tian stopped breathing completely.


    A grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was forcibly smashed to death by the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Simple, yet crude!


    Ye Yuan let out a long sigh, akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    Jun Tian was like a large mountain, crushing others until the entire Heavenspan World could not breathe.


    If not for him breaking through to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum by chance, the consequences would really be unimaginable.


    Fortunately, Jun Tian, the main culprit behind controlling the Heavenspan Mountain, was finally dead!


    It was just that, even more doubts lingered in Ye Yuan��s heart too.


    Jun Tian was merely a small fry. It was impossible for him to have the strength to suppress the Heavenspan World.


    At the very most, he just exploited a loophole and made use of the Heavenspan World��s power.


    The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect which Jun Tian spoke of was the one that was linked in many ways with the Heavenspan World.


    Furthermore, Jun Tian said that he was the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect deacon, and he had a life tablet in the sect.


    The moment he died, the sect definitely knew about it.


    At that time, they would probably really send someone over to investigate.


    Ye Yuan did not know Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s attitude towards the Heavenspan World, but Ye Yuan felt that there might not be anything good.


    Moreover, he killed a member of the sect. The sect would not be willing to drop the matter too.


    In front of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, the Heavenspan World was too weak!


    Jun Tian was merely a puny little outer-sect deacon and already almost wiped out the entire Heavenspan World.


    It could be inferred that if the sect��s powerhouses came, it was absolutely not what the current Ye Yuan could parry.


    Ye Yuan being able to defeat Jun Tian was entirely thanks to the Heavenspan Mountain.


    With his own strength, even if he broke through to Heavenly Stratum, it was impossible to be Jun Tian��s match too.


    This Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was a world that was a completely different level from the Heavenspan World!


    The power of rules here was too strong, even Dao Ancestors were unable to enter this world too.


    Otherwise, they would be crushed into a meat pancake by the power of rules here.


    Dao Ancestors could not withstand the pressure of rules here at all!


    Even Ye Yuan was also unable to adapt to the environment here until now.


    In fact, even his breathing felt somewhat constrained!


    It could be judged that this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven did not have Mortal Stratum martial artists at all.


    Heavenly Stratum was the basic requirement to enter this place!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan��s brows could not help furrowing tightly, immediately feeling the pressure soared.


    This also meant that the Heavenspan World��s trillions of lives were now all tied to him alone!


    Once anything happened to him, the Heavenspan World would surely suffer a cataclysmic disaster.


    But now, he was completely clueless about this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    In fact, he did not even have a method of cultivation!


    No cultivation method!


    No martial technique!


    No means to use the origin divinity!


    Ye Yuan��s only reliance currently was the Heavenspan Mountain!


    But on second thought, in such a powerful world, he could always find the method to save Mu Lingxue.


    Furthermore, when he asked Jun Tian previously, he could feel that regathering the divine soul did not seem to be something impossible.


    Thinking of this, Ye Yuan could not help being a lot more invigorated.


    In addition, he even remembered that he had once sensed that his father and Lin Wushuang, their tiny trace of fluctuations, seemed to have returned to heaven and earth too.


    Thinking about it now, they probably entered this world!


    Then could he find his father too?


    Even �� reviving him?


    Thinking of this, Ye Yuan��s mind could not help shaking.


    Ji Zhengyang��s fall was the regret of Ye Yuan��s life.


    If he could really meet his father again, even revive him, then he would really have no regrets in this life!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ��My current strength is likely the weakest existence in this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Thinking of these is too far away! The most important thing now is still to understand this world!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on Jun Tian��s corpse.


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect should be a major sect. As a major sect��s disciple, Jun Tian might have some things on him that could let Ye Yuan discover some secrets of the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Ye Yuan found a storage bracelet on Jun Tian��s body.


    Jun Tian was already dead. Hence, this bracelet became an ownerless item.


    Ye Yuan found that azure long spear inside, some white crystals, several secret books on cultivation, as well as some random things.


    Although that azure long spear was not as terrifying as the Heavenspan Mountain, it was also a decent quality weapon.


    Ye Yuan could feel an astonishing aura emitting off it.


    As for those white crystals, there was extremely thick spiritual energy in each of them.


    This spiritual energy had intrinsic differences from the Heavenspan World��s spiritual energy.


    Ye Yuan guessed that this thing might be the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s universal currency.


    Rather, it was those secret books on cultivation that he was interested in. After Ye Yuan browsed through them, he had some understanding about the cultivation of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    There was a cultivation method called Jadetrue Spirit Awakening Formula among them, letting Ye Yuan understand a part of the realms of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    It turned out that Heavenly Stratum powerhouses were divided into Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, as well as Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Each major realm was also divided into lower, middle, upper, as well as grand completion, consisting of four minor realms.


    Jun Tian was grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum Realm, being just a step away from Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    While Ye Yuan did not even count as a lower Lesser Sublime Heaven right now.


    To Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, he had not crossed the threshold currently. Because he did not even have the most basic cultivation method.


    Unfortunately, this cultivation method only had the first level cultivation method of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Presumably, this Jun Tian��s status in the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was also not very high.


    However, Ye Yuan was not in a rush to cultivate this Jadetrue Spirit Awakening Formula.


    Coming this far, Ye Yuan knew that the selection of cultivation method was very important. He was naturally not willing to easily enter a pit.


    He still understood the logic of better to go without than to make do with a shoddy substitute.


    ��Eh, there��s a Jadetrue Anecdote here!��


    When Ye Yuan saw this cover, his eyes could not help lighting up.


    He was very curious about this Jadetrue Heavenly Sect. The Heavenspan Mountain was clearly a precious treasure. So why would it be used to suppress the Heavenspan World?


    Many mysteries of the Heavenspan World all lay with this Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    Understanding this sect would naturally be very helpful to him.

 Chapter 2522 - Wordless Heavenly Skill!

    Mission Hall, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    An old man was currently lecturing three disciples.


    ��Jun Tian��s life tablet has already shattered. You all go to Eastward Country to check it out properly. See who has such gall to dare provoke our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect! Cheng Chongshan, you��re the senior apprentice brother. This trip will be led by you,�� the old man said.


    Cheng Chongshan cupped his fists and said, ��Elder You can be rest assured. This disciple will definitely investigate carefully. If I find any clues, I��ll definitely make him pay the price of blood!��


    Elder You nodded slightly and said, ��The three of you, this elder naturally feels relieved. Jun Tian��s strength is top-notch in Eastward Country too. There aren��t many people capable of making him die. This elder reckons that this matter probably has something to do with the royal family. Do you all know what to do after you go to Eastward Country?��


    Cheng Chongshan��s eyes flickered and he said with a nod, ��Elder, rest assured. This disciple understands! In the tiny land of Eastward Country, those few people are merely a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs. I reckon that they also can��t stir up any waves!��


    Cheng Chongshan three people set off for Eastward Country with the sect��s mission.


    It was just that they did not think that Jun Tian, this big shot who could make Eastward Country tremble thrice with a stomp of his feet, actually died in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan closed the Jadetrue Anecdote and exhaled a turbid breath deeply.


    Following that was a deep fury.


    It turned out that this Heavenspan Mountain was accidentally obtained by Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s former sect master, Yan Jadetrue.


    By borrowing this treasure, Yan Jadetrue rarely had any rivals, his strength exceedingly formidable.


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect also became the overlord-level sect of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Five Great Heavenly Regions because of it.


    It was just a pity that later on, Yan Jadetrue encountered a formidable enemy later on, and suffered serious injuries.


    His treasure, the Heavenspan Mountain, was also seriously damaged in this battle.


    In order to nourish the Heavenspan Mountain, Yan Jadetrue sealed it in a small chiliocosm with a great magical ability, nourishing the Heavenspan Mountain with the power of the entire small chiliocosm.


    This small chiliocosm was the Heavenspan World!


    It was just that later on, no idea why, Yan Jadetrue went missing, and the Heart of Heavenspan disappearing with him too.


    Without the Heart of Heavenspan, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect could not find traces of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Later, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had once swarmed out in full force, searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    It was just a pity that the place the Heavenspan Mountain was sealed, only Yan Jadetrue alone knew about it.


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect expended a great price and failed to find the whereabouts of the Heavenspan Mountain too.


    This was the origin of the Heavenspan World.


    Reading finish the Jadetrue Anecdote, Ye Yuan had unspeakable fury.


    Whatever Dao Ancestor, whatever Heavenly Dao Samsara, it was all merely a game set by Yan Jadetrue.


    For tens of billions of years, the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses have all been living in the shadow of Yan Jadetrue.


    It was also fortunate that Yan Jadetrue went missing. Otherwise, the current Heavenspan World would likely have long ceased to exist.


    Nourishing a precious treasure like this with the price of a world��s living things, the method could be rated as cruel.


    If it succeeded, everything in the Heavenspan World would no longer exist, and naturally there would not be the Ye Yuan today as well.


    It was just that no one expected that many years later, the Heavenspan World was actually found by an outer-sect deacon, Jun Tian.


    However, Jun Tian did not report this matter to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    He knew that the Heavenspan Mountain was a treasure. If he could obtain it, his fate would be totally different.


    If he reported it to the sect, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.


    Unfortunately, without the Heart of Heavenspan, Jun Tian could not take the Heavenspan Mountain away.


    Standing guard over a treasure mountain, but could not take it away, Jun Tian had been depressed these few years.


    He had once infiltrated into the Heavenspan World countless times in an attempt to find the whereabouts of the Heart of Heavenspan, but could not find it.


    Of course, with his strength, sneaking into the Heavenspan World without a sound, it was simply impossible for the Heavenspan World��s powerhouses to discover it.


    Helpless, he left behind the legacy of the Eight Extreme Divinities in the Heavenspan World, attempting to collect divine soul essence to cultivate origin divinity.


    After reaching Heavenly Stratum, the cultivation of origin divinity was extremely important.


    The higher the origin divinity realm, the greater the speed of comprehending heaven and earth, and the easier it was to increase one��s cultivation realm.


    Of course, origin divinity realm was not so easy to increase.


    However, Jun Tian never dreamed that the Heart of Heavenspan which he searched bitterly for changed hands several times, and landed in Ye Yuan��s hands in the end.


    Furthermore, he even successfully refined the Heart of Heavenspan and took away the Heavenspan Mountain.


    But Jun Tian himself died under the Heavenspan Mountain in the end!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was deep as he muttered to himself, ��I absolutely can��t let Jadetrue Heavenly Sect discover the Heavenspan World. Otherwise, the consequences will be too ghastly to contemplate. Although the current Jadetrue Heavenly Sect is already far worse than before, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The strength of a sect isn��t what the current me can contend with.��


    The Heavenspan Mountain was a treasure that could let the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect rise once again.


    Once Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s people discovered it, the Heavenspan World��s days would also come to an end.


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, the Heavenspan Mountain suspended on his palm quietly.


    ��Wordless Heavenly Skill! Yan Jadetrue relied on this cultivation method back then to command the Five Great Heavenly Regions! I wonder if I can comprehend it or not!�� Ye Yuan looked at the Heavenspan Mountain and said to himself.


    It was recorded in the Jadetrue Anecdote that an astonishing cultivation method was hidden on the Heavenspan Mountain called Wordless Heavenly Skill!


    This cultivation method was wordless!


    Want to comprehend it, you could only rely on comprehension ability and lucky chance!


    And this cultivation method could only appear after the Heavenspan Mountain and Heart of Heavenspan combines into one.


    However, Ye Yuan did not comprehend it immediately but concealed the plane passageway with array formations.


    Then, he disposed of Jun Tian��s dead body before leaving carefully.


    Ye Yuan had traveled for several months, but could not find the way out at all.


    Inklight Forest was too large, he did not know where to go at all.


    He did not encounter any danger along the way.


    In these few months, Ye Yuan studied the Heavenspan Mountain carefully while traveling, attempting to find the Wordless Heavenly Skill.


    It was just that, sadly, it was too difficult!


    However, what Ye Yuan did not lack the most was patience.


    If not for his persevering spirit, he also could not have walked until today.


    On this day, Ye Yuan was currently studying the Heavenspan Mountain when suddenly, he heard noisy quarreling sounds.


    He was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly put away the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Finally saw a living person!


    ��Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen, you rest assured, the Yang Family��s matter is my, Lu Yuanjie��s matter! Your father��s grudge, Senior Apprentice Brother will definitely avenge for you!�� A young man��s voice could be heard.


    Another man said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen, that Li Family��s Li Batian is nothing! With me, Gui Tianyu around, I��ll definitely make him unable to bear the consequences!��


    At this time, a weak and sad woman��s voice transmitted over in a drawn-out manner.


    ��Many thanks for two senior apprentice brothers taking pity on me, Xuezhen is deeply grateful!��


    ��Huhu, Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen, those words regard me too much as a stranger.��


    ��Eh, there��s actually someone in this wilderness?�� Lu Yuanjie��s eyes were sharp and saw Ye Yuan with one glance, and said in surprise.


    Gui Tianyu sized Ye Yuan up and said with a snicker, ��Didn��t even reach lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, this kid can actually survive in Inklight Forest until now. What a tenacious life! Hey, brat, you��re a Lower Realm��s ant that just ascended to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, right?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. This guy was actually as disgusting as Jun Tian!


    He originally still wanted to follow this group of people and leave Inklight Forest. Now, he could not even be bothered to talk anymore.


    When Gui Tianyu saw Ye Yuan ignore him, his expression could not help turning dark. He said in a cold voice, ��Punk, this young master is talking to you! Are you deaf?��

 Chapter 2523 - Unable to Speak Up

    ��Huhu, even an ant who just ascended has his share of arrogance. An ant-like thing has no idea of danger or death!�� Lu Yuanjie said with a laugh.


    The family guards behind Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu were also all laughing non-stop at this time.


    Clearly, they had already gotten used to this scene.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was connected to every heaven and myriad worlds. There were often Lower Realms martial artists that ascended.


    These martial artists had immensely formidable strength in the Lower Realms.


    But arriving here, they were the lowest rung.


    Because Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven did not have ordinary martial artists.


    The weakest here was also a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse.


    Therefore, this scene of Ye Yuan��s air of haughtiness was only seen as being laughable in everyone��s eyes.


    When Gui Tianyu saw that Ye Yuan still ignored him, he said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, come in front of this young master and kneel down and kowtow to admit your fault now. This young master can spare your life.��


    Ye Yuan was slightly angry in his heart and was just about to speak up sarcastically when that woman who was fairer than snow suddenly said, ��Two senior apprentice brothers, it��s really not easy for this little brother to be able to ascend from the Lower Realms. Can you give this junior apprentice sister face and spare him once?��


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu were naturally unwilling. Ye Yuan��s attitude made them very displeased.


    It was just that they were both pursuing Yang Xuezhen. So they naturally had to appear more magnanimous.


    Gui Tianyu gave a cold snort and said, ��Since Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen opened her mouth to plead, consider your life tenacious, brat.��


    Lu Yuanjie said coolly, ��We��ll listen to Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen. Get lost then.��


    Yang Xuezhen said, ��Two senior apprentice brothers, this little brother likely can��t walk out of here by relying on himself. Why don��t we bring him out?��


    The two people frowned slightly with reluctant looks on their faces. But they could not brush off Yang Xuezhen��s face.


    In the end, they could only nod their heads helplessly.


    Ye Yuan looked towards Yang Xuezhen rather surprisedly, not expecting that this girl was actually so kind-hearted.


    Actually, he did not care about the threats of these people.


    Although he currently had not cultivated Heavenly Stratum cultivation methods and martial techniques yet, just by relying on the power of the Heavenspan Mountain, he could kill everyone present.


    These few days, it was also not that he had achieved nothing.


    At the very least, his control of the Heavenspan Mountain became much more accomplished with high proficiency.


    The power of the Heavenspan Mountain also increased significantly.


    These people in front of him, the strongest was merely middle Lesser Sublime Heaven.


    It was enough to suppress these people with the power of the Heavenspan Mountain.


    However, unless it was a last resort, Ye Yuan did not wish to employ the Heavenspan Mountain.


    This place was Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s territory. If he took out the Heavenspan Mountain here, he would have to kill all the people present.


    Otherwise, there would be a constant source of future troubles.


    Ye Yuan was also not an insensible person. He gave a bow toward Yang Xuezhen and said, ��Many thanks, Miss.��


    Yang Xuezhen waved her hand and said coolly, ��Not a big deal.��


    Clearly, this girl was in a bad mood and did not have too much desire to talk.


    She only helped Ye Yuan conveniently.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not ask for a rebuff either. He simply followed the squad in silence.


    The sky gradually turned dark. The party set up camp.


    Suddenly, a tiger roar came from the distance.


    Lu Yuanjie two people exchanged a glance and could not help smiling knowingly.


    ��Brat, there��s no free lunch in the world! We served as a protective umbrella for you along the way. So shouldn��t you do a little something too?�� Lu Yuanjie said to Ye Yuan with a smile.


    How could Ye Yuan not know that this guy was planning something bad?


    However, he was emboldened stemming from great ability, and did not care either, saying indifferently, ��You want me to go and hunt that tiger?��


    Lu Yuanjie was a little surprised at Ye Yuan��s cleverness and said with a nod, ��Yeah, this is merely a lower Lesser Sublime Heaven Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger. It��s one of the weakest true spirits in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. Pressing on with our journey all the way, everyone is a little tired. Why don��t you hunt it down and satisfy everyone��s craving for good food?��


    Ye Yuan had not spoken yet when Yang Xuezhen frowned and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, isn��t this making things difficult for him? He hasn��t even reached lower Lesser Sublime Heaven. How can he possibly be the Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger��s match?��


    Lu Yuanjie smiled and said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister, this boy is very haughty. Just a tiger, he shouldn��t have taken it seriously yet, right?��


    Yang Xuezhen still wanted to say something, but heard Gui Tianyu say, ��Humph, Junior Apprentice Sister, it��s just catching a tiger. You��re also protecting him too much, right? Moreover, Lu Qing and Gui Cheng will also be following him, they won��t let him die.��


    Yang Xuezhen��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly being caught in a dilemma.


    She was currently relying on these two people greatly and could not offend them too badly.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said, ��I��ll go!��


    The moment Lu Yuanjie heard, he smiled and said, ��That��s more like it! Being able to corroborate your Dao and achieve Heavenly Stratum in the Lower Realms, if you don��t even have this bit of courage, that��s also too disgraceful! Lu Qing, Gui Cheng, you guys follow this little brother. Both of you need to protect him well! If he isn��t the Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger��s match, you guys lend him a helping hand.��


    When he was talking, he deliberately placed emphasis on ��helping hand�� two words.


    Yang Xuezhen sighed slightly. Ye Yuan was courting death himself, she could not help it either.


    She was currently unable to even fend for herself!


    Yang Xuezhen was not a fool. How could she not understand Lu Yuanjie two people��s thoughts?


    It was just that she was anxious to take revenge currently, and she already could not care that much anymore.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with the two and brought Lu Qing and Gui Cheng and directly left.


    �� ��


    An hour later, Lu Qing and Gui Chen ran back.


    When Lu Yuanjie saw that there were only the two of them coming back, he was smiling.


    But very soon, his face fell.


    Not waiting for Lu Qing two people to open their mouths either, he berated, ��Didn��t I ask you guys to ensure his safety? What��s going on? Can��t even handle this little thing well, what are you doing?��


    Yang Xuezhen��s gaze swept towards the distance but did not see Ye Yuan��s figure. How could she not know what happened?


    She let out a slight sigh and was silent.


    Gui Cheng was just about to open his mouth, but then he heard Gui Tianyu yelling, ��Gui Cheng, you good-for-nothing! Can��t even handle this small matter, how do you want me to give an account to Junior Apprentice Sister?��


    Lu Yuanjie continued and said, ��The two of you fools can��t even look after a person properly! Just a Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger, you guys actually let him get eaten?��


    Gui Tianyu got more into it the more he scolded and said angrily, ��What are the two of you still in a daze for, why haven��t you gone to apologize to Junior Apprentice Sister?��


    Lu Qing and Gui Cheng sweated profusely from anxiety, but could not get a word in at all.


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu chimed in one after another, getting more enthusiastic the more they scolded, not giving them the chance to speak at all.


    In their hearts, they already determined Ye Yuan to be dead.


    ��There��s no need to apologize. It was also pretty tiring for these two brothers to run back. You guys should reward them.�� Right at this time, a voice suddenly sounded out, interrupting the two people��s performance.


    The expression on the two people��s faces immediately became incomparably fascinating.


    Only to see Ye Yuan carrying a double-winged tiger, currently walking towards the camp.


    Pah!


    Pah!


    At virtually the same time, Lu Qing and Gui Cheng were given a slap.


    The two people said in unison, ��Idiots, why didn��t you say that earlier?!��


    Lu Qing and Gui Cheng felt aggrieved!


    It was only to hear Gui Cheng cover his face and said, ��Young Master, I wanted to say, but I couldn��t speak up at all! This boy killed the Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger with one punch!��


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu��s bodies quivered, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    An ant who did not even reach lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, how could he possibly kill a Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger with one punch?

 Chapter 2524 - Same Lineage!

    Heavenly Stratum powerhouses who just ascended were not considered Heavenly Stratum powerhouses in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven at all.


    Even the most ordinary lower Lesser Sublime Heavens could devastate them at will.


    Although the Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger was not considered very formidable, tearing an ascender like Ye Yuan to shreds was easy to accomplish.


    It was just that the result was just the opposite.


    Ye Yuan killed it with one punch!


    How could they know that Ye Yuan was not some ordinary ascender?


    Ordinary ascenders tend to shatter the firmament with one power of rule.


    But Ye Yuan had four apart from Alchemy Dao!


    Furthermore, it was a four-way fusion!


    His strength was naturally much worse when compared to a grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven like Jun Tian.


    But compared to ordinary lower Lesser Sublime Heavens, he was a great deal stronger!


    During the few months in this Inklight Forest, Ye Yuan already gradually adapted to the rule pressure here.


    Apart from time law, Ye Yuan could already mobilize the other three types of power of rule.


    What did killing a Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger count as?


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu looked at each other, both feeling unbelievably ashamed and resentful.


    Pah!


    Pah!


    The two each gave their subordinate a slap and said in unison, ��Useless thing!��


    Gui Tianyu arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said fiercely, ��Brat, don��t think that by killing a Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger, it��s impressive! This thing, I can kill it by huffing a puff! Ants will always be ants!��


    Ye Yuan raised the Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger up and said with a smile, ��Come, huff a puff.��


    Gui Tianyu��s face turned black and almost smacked Ye Yuan to death with a slap.


    Even the Yang Xuezhen who was clouded with worry was also amused.


    Huffing a puff, it was naturally boasting.


    Gui Tianyu huffing a puff was sufficient to kill those martial artists in the Heavenspan World.


    But no matter how weak this Double-winged Heaven Shaking Tiger was, it was still a true spirit!


    True spirits were existences equivalent to Heavenly Stratum.


    It was not hard for Gui Tianyu to kill, but being able to kill by huffing a puff was purely talking nonsense.


    After the farce, Yang Xuezhen pulled Ye Yuan to one side.


    Seeing this scene, Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu became even more jealous.


    Yang Xuezhen��s looks were exquisite. She was an extremely beautiful woman. It was just that her face had an anxious look from start to end, giving people a feeling of keeping strangers at bay.


    ��We��ll be able to get out of Inklight Forest tomorrow. Let��s go our separate ways here. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s native powerhouses discriminate against ascenders greatly. If not for me, my two senior apprentice brothers would likely have already killed you. If you want to live, go to Five Light Heavenly Region. That place is the territory of ascenders. You don��t have a way out in True Yang Heavenly Domain.�� Yang Xuezhen said in earnest.


    Ye Yuan had long discovered it. The ascender aura on his body was completely different from Yang Xuezhen and the rest. It could be identified easily.


    It seemed like in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, ascenders and native Heavenly Stratum powerhouses were two camps that were distinct from each other!


    This kind of situation was like locals looking down on outsiders.


    This sense of superiority was innate.


    Although he did not know just where this sense of superiority lay.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I just arrived and know absolutely nothing about Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. Wonder if Miss can allow for this convenience and let this Ye tag along to learn for some time? Otherwise, if I were to go out rashly, I��d probably die without even knowing how.��


    ��This ���� Yang Xuezhen could not help hesitating.


    What Ye Yuan said made sense too.


    It was just that she was currently unable to even fend for herself. So how could she bring Ye Yuan along?


    Ye Yuan was naturally not really afraid of going out himself. He was just following Yang Xuezhen to return a favor.


    He could tell that Yang Xuezhen was kind-hearted. It was just that her family suffered a catastrophe. That was why she would become melancholic and moody.


    Those two senior apprentice brothers did not harbor good intentions at all.


    If Ye Yuan let Yang Xuezhen leave freely, it would be equivalent to watching her enter the tiger��s maws like a sheep.


    He, Ye Yuan, could not do this kind of thing.


    ��Honestly speaking, returning to Eastward Country this time, I��m actually surrounded by enemies on all sides. It��s very dangerous for you to follow me!�� Yang Xuezhen said seriously.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The way I am, isn��t it dangerous wherever I go? To me, an unknown world is more dangerous. Miss is kind-hearted, I��d rather believe in Miss.��


    Yang Xuezhen thought about it and said, ��Then �� alright.��


    �� ��


    In the dead of night, Ye Yuan��s consciousness sank into the chaos world, viewing the Heavenspan Mountain.


    However, he was at a loss on what to do.


    ��These few months, I��ve already observed it no less than ten thousand times. But I don��t have any leads about this Wordless Heavenly Skill! Could it be that I��m really not fated with this skill?��


    Ye Yuan did not lack patience, but after several months of hard work and not finding a way out, he could not help giving birth to doubt.


    He shook his head and put aside the distractions, and continued observing.


    Gradually, Ye Yuan only felt his eyelids get heavier and heavier, and he actually fell asleep.


    In his dream, Ye Yuan arrived in an isolated space.


    An enormous book was suspended above the void.


    That book had an archaic aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life, which seemingly came from ancient times, stirring the soul.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled and he cried out in surprise, ��Wordless Heavenly Skill!��


    But very soon, he suddenly came to realize the truth and said with a bitter smile, ��What you think about in the day, you will dream of it at night! I actually saw the Wordless Heavenly Skill in my dreams. Looks like I��m really bewitched. However �� even if I know that it��s in a dream, I still couldn��t extricate myself!��


    Ye Yuan went up and flipped open the title page of the book.


    Woodless!


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��Wordless Heavenly Skill? Huhu, this is the Wordless Heavenly Skill? If it��s wordless, how does one cultivate it?��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s eyes blurred.


    The Wordless Heavenly Book suddenly turned into a cloud of chaos. Being situated in it, Ye Yuan felt a primeval aura.


    It felt as if he had returned to the womb.


    Amidst the chaos, Ye Yuan felt delicate streams of air currents flowing.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��This �� Could the flow of this air current be the skill circulatory route? This cloud of chaos is actually quite similar to back then when my chaos just blossomed. It��s just that my chaos seems to be just like a baby in front of it!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart was shocked to the extreme.


    He discovered that the Chaos Heavenspan Canon he had comprehended was actually of the same lineage as this chaos!


    Looking at it like this, it was no accident that he comprehended the Chaos Heavenspan Canon.


    What he comprehended was merely a drop in the ocean of the Wordless Heavenly Skill.


    Ye Yuan carefully felt the flow of that air current, not daring to miss the slightest bit.


    But very soon, he could not bear it anymore!


    Too complicated!


    No idea how long had passed either. Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, and he startled awake.


    His consciousness hurriedly sank into his small world, attempting to find clues from the Heavenspan Mountain.


    But sadly, he was disappointed.


    ��Turns out that it was just a dream?�� Ye Yuan��s tone exuded some helplessness.


    But very soon, his expression changed.


    He discovered that he did not forget the feeling of that air current flow!


    ��Within a person��s body is a small world. That air current should be the skill circulatory route of the Wordless Heavenly Skill!��


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, he imagined his own body to be a cluster of chaos.


    Then he revolved his divine essence according to that feeling!


    With a single circulatory cycle, Ye Yuan was wildly ecstatic in his heart!

 Chapter 2525 - Yang Manor Storm!

    Without the guidance of a cultivation method, Ye Yuan��s realm had never consolidated all along.


    Therefore, he was not considered a true Heavenly Stratum powerhouse right now.


    But, with a single circulatory cycle, his cultivation realm was already completely consolidated!


    Now, he was already a true lower Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    ��What a miraculous cultivation method! No wonder Yan Jadetrue could rely on this cultivation method to command the Five Great Heavenly Regions back then!�� Ye Yuan said in shock inwardly.


    Although he had never cultivated it, he had studied Jun Tian��s cultivation method before.


    Wanting to consolidate one��s cultivation realm required revolving a thousand circulatory cycles no matter what.


    But Ye Yuan only revolved a single circulatory cycle, and his realm was already consolidated.


    This was also to say that the Wordless Heavenly Skill��s cultivation method was a thousand times better than ordinary cultivation methods!


    It was clear at a glance which was superior or inferior.


    A series of footsteps interrupted Ye Yuan��s excitement.


    It was Gui Tianyu!


    He came before Ye Yuan and said with an unfriendly look, ��Brat, don��t think I don��t know what wicked idea you��re plotting! I��m warning you, stay further away from Yang Xuezhen. Otherwise, you��ll die very horribly!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and walked right past him.


    Ignored!


    Gui Tianyu was greatly enraged and was just about to fly off the handle, but he saw Yang Xuezhen suddenly appear. She said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Tianyu, Ye Yuan, it��s time to set off.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Coming.��


    Looking at the two people��s departing back view, Gui Tianyu��s heart burned with fury.


    �� ��


    The party got out of Inklight Forest and headed straight for Eastward Country.


    They were travel-worn all the way. Finally, after three days, they rushed to Eastward Country��s imperial city.


    There was a mansion that occupied a rather large territory in front of them, it was precisely the Yang Manor.


    The Yang Family was a small family clan in Eastward Country but also rather prosperous.


    Yang Xuezhen��s talent was pretty good and was selected by Thousand Crane Sect to become a disciple.


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu were both from major family clans in the imperial city too; much stronger than the Yang Family.


    The Yang Family and Li Family had a long history of hatred because of friction in their operations.


    It was just that one month plus ago, Yang Xuezhen received news from the Yang Family that Yang Xuezhen��s father was actually beaten to death by the Li Family��s family head, Li Batian.


    The Yang Family immediately fell into a crisis.


    After Yang Xuezhen received the news, she naturally rushed back at once without stopping.


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu had been courting Yang Xuezhen for some time already. Seeing this opportunity, how could they be willing to let it go. Hence, they took the initiative to follow.


    After all, with the statuses of the Lu Family and Gui Family, the Li Family would not dare to go too far as well.


    ��Halt!�� The Yang Family��s family guards directly stopped everyone.


    Yang Xuezhen��s expression changed and she scolded angrily, ��Tian Ming, Yan Yi, what are you guys doing? Don��t even recognize me anymore?��


    Tian Ming said coolly, ��Miss, there are distinguished guests in the family right now. You all wait outside for a moment!��


    Yang Xuezhen had a blank look and said in shock, ��What distinguished guests? Even I can��t go in too? Are you guys rebelling?��


    At this time, Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu blocked in front of her at the same time.


    Lu Yuanjie said with a cold snort, ��Lowly lackey, get lost! Otherwise, this young master will kill you guys right now!��


    Gui Tianyu scolded angrily, ��Dogs who are threatening people under the protection of your master! Take a look at who this young master is!��


    Tian Ming��s expression changed, only then, recognizing the arrivals, and he hurriedly said, ��Turns out that it��s Young Master Lu, Young Master Gui, please forgive me!��


    ��Get lost!��


    Tian Ming two people��s faces changed and they could only give in.


    Lu Yuanjie had a proud look and said to Yang Xuezhen, ��Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen, rest assured. With me around, everything will be fine!��


    Gui Tianyu smiled and said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister, you don��t need to worry. I reckon that this Li Family won��t be able to set off any waves!��


    Yang Xuezhen��s heart was in turmoil. How could she hear these two people��s showing off?


    She, the Yang Family��s young miss could not enter, but the Lu Family��s young master could enter?


    What on earth happened to the Yang Family?


    The party entered the Yang Family and went straight to the meeting hall.


    A youth currently had a fawning look, pouring tea for another young man.


    The youth hunched his back and said with a flattering smile, ��Elder Brother Qiu, please drink tea! Don��t you worry. After my elder sister comes back, I��ll definitely have her take the initiative to marry Elder Brother Qiu!��


    The young man picked up his tea and said with a nod, ��Mn, you, boy, still knows how to appreciate kindness; not like that stubborn old guy from your family, impenetrably thickheaded!��


    The youth nodded his head repeatedly and said, ��Yes, yes, yes! Yang Yu that old fellow should have long handed the position of family head over! He clung conservatively to the old system, this is pushing the Yang Family into the fire pit! Fortunately, he died. Now, my mother calls the shots in the Yang Family, everything can be discussed!��


    The young man glanced at the youth and said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha �� Well said! Well said!��


    By the side, Yang Xuezhen was long already angered until she was trembling, almost fainting away.


    ��Yang �� Jin! Y-You unfilial son! To actually suck up to your father��s killer, aren��t you scared of being struck by lightning?�� Yang Xuezhen practically roared it out.


    That youth was precisely her younger brother born from the same father, but a different mother, Yang Jin.


    And the young man sitting in the hall was the Li Family, Li Batian��s only son, Li Zhengqiu!


    How great the impact of this scene was to Yang Xuezhen could only be imagined!


    Her father died. Not only did her younger brother not want to take revenge, he actually even showed great courtesy to his father��s killer, and even cursed his own father for clinging conservatively to the old system!


    And he even �� wanted to deliver her to the Li Family to be married off!


    This was simply too unscrupulous!


    Hearing this roar, Yang Jin was clearly stunned too.


    After seeing Yang Xuezhen, he smiled and said, ��Sis, you��re finally back! Just nice, Big Brother Qiu is here. You guys catch up. After all, you guys are good friends that grew up together. Later, pick a date and you��ll marry over to the Li Family. You don��t need to return to the Thousand Crane Sect anymore too.��


    Yang Xuezhen did not do anything, but Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu flew into a great rage.


    Lu Yuanjie arrived in front of Li Zhengqiu with a lunge and said angrily, ��Li Zhengqiu, who the hell do you think you are, to also dare covet Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen? Scram for Your Father right now, otherwise, you��ll crawl out!��


    Gui Tianyu arrived right after, pointed at Li Zhengqiu��s nose, and said, ��Li Zhengqiu, you also don��t take a piss and look at your own reflection, a toad lusting after swan meat? Heh, go over and apologize to Junior Apprentice Sister Xuezhen, and this matter will be considered over! Otherwise, not just you, your Li Family �� just wait and see!��


    The two originally thought that Li Zhengqiu would be quivering with fright, then apologize and beg them for forgiveness subserviently.


    But sadly, Li Zhengqiu did not!


    He drank a mouthful of tea lightly and said coolly, ��Gentlemen, I��m afraid �� this can��t be done! I came today to the Yang Family to give the betrothal gift. The Yang Family has already accepted the betrothal gift. A match is made on the parents�� order and the word of the matchmaker, Yang Xuezhen will be my woman in the future! As for the two of you, better don��t be unreasonable and make a scene here. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves.��


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu were not fools either. They did not get angry for no reason.


    This opportunity was hard to come by. Whoever could handle this matter, Yang Xuezhen would definitely look at him in a different light.


    Things would be easier to handle in the future.


    It was just that now, Li Zhengqiu��s attitude made them unable to save their faces.


    They were genuinely enraged!


    ��Wow, gotten cocky huh! Li Zhengqiu, just the likes of a random nobody like you also dares to posture in front of this young master, is that it?�� Gui Tianyu laughed coldly, the imposing aura on his body erupting.


    Middle Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    Lu Yuanjie was the same, saying with a sneer, ��Li Zhengqiu, who gave you the courage to dare to posture in front of this young master?��


    ��It��s me. Do you guys have any objections?��

 Chapter 2526 - Everyone, Get Lost for Me!

    A youth in brocade slowly walked out of the back hall.


    Beside him followed a rather attractive middle-aged lady who had partly lost her good looks, looking respectful and submissive.


    The moment the youth appeared, Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu��s faces changed at the same time.


    ��Y-Young Master Yu!��


    Li Zhengqiu had a smug look as he said, ��This marriage affair was single-handedly arranged by Young Master Yu.��


    Young Master Yu stopped in front of the two, looking at them with a condescending gaze, as he said coolly, ��The Yang and Li families have fought for many times. This young master will be a mediator and tie a nuptial knot, burying the hatchet. Do the two of you have any objections?��


    ��N-No objections!�� Being cowed by Young Master Yu��s imposing momentum, Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu could not help taking two steps back.


    Young Master Yu nodded his head and said, ��It��s been hard on the two of you, sending Younger Sister Xuezhen back from far away. If you��re free, go to the Tang Family for a drink.��


    The moment the two people heard, they could not help being overjoyed.


    This Tang Yu was the Tang Family��s eldest young master, his status revered.


    The Tang Family��s status in the imperial city was completely not what these few families could compare to.


    The Tang Family was one of Eastward Country��s three great family clans, their power and influence spreading across the entire Eastward Country.


    Behind them was the royal family��s Second Prince, His Highness.


    With this layer of connection, who dared to not give the Tang Family face?


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu dared to posture in front of Li Zhengqiu but did not dare to act wildly in front of Tang Yu.


    And Tang Yu��s sentence that had the intention of solicitation made the two of them ecstatic.


    The Tang Family��s tall branch was not what any family clan could cling onto!


    ��T-Thanks, Young Master Yu!�� The two said with joy.


    Not far away, Yang Xuezhen��s eyes were filled with despair.


    She did not think that she actually had to face such a situation when she came back.


    ��Two senior apprentice brothers, you guys ���� Yang Xuezhen was almost weeping.


    At the time of despair, these two were her final straw to clutch at.


    But now, even these two people also ��


    Lu Yuanjie let out a sigh and said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister, actually, Younger Brother Zhengqiu is a man of striking appearance. He is also a pretty good choice! The two of you are even well-matched in social status!��


    Yang Xuezhen��s gaze was cold as she said angrily, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, didn��t expect that you��re actually this kind of person who acts in bad faith! Consider it that I, Yang Xuezhen, misjudged you!��


    Lu Yuanjie gave a cold snort when he heard that, suddenly turning hostile as he said, ��Yang Xuezhen, don��t pretend to be pure in front of this young master! Don��t think that this young master doesn��t know, aren��t you just making use of this young master to deal with Li Zhengqiu?��


    Yang Xuezhen��s complexion turned deathly pale and she said stiffly, ��You ����


    Actually, it was not Yang Xuezhen who begged them to come at all, but that these two people pestered incessantly to follow.


    Yang Xuezhen refused at first. But at her time of despair, she could only borrow these two people��s power.


    She did not expect that now, Lu Yuanjie was actually playing the blame game!


    Normally, Lu Yuanjie ingratiated himself with her in all manners. But, his face changed like flipping a book.


    ��Alright, Young Sister Xuezhen, your mother and Madam Xiao have both already agreed to this marriage. Furthermore, this young master feels like Zhengqiu is pretty good, his background also matches yours. You won��t suffer from injustice either. If enmity isn��t settled amicably, there is no end to it! Why not give me face and agree to this marriage, how about it?�� Tang Yu looked at Yang Xuezhen and said gently.


    She gritted her teeth and said, ��Young Master Yu, even if I, Yang Xuezhen, were to die, I also won��t marry the son of the enemy who killed my father!��


    Tang Yu did not seem to care, saying with a smile, ��Is that so? If that��s the case, this young master can��t guarantee the safety of your mother��s life anymore.��


    Yang Xuezhen��s expression changed, her beautiful body trembling, almost falling to the ground.


    Despair!


    The current Yang Xuezhen was only left with this kind of emotion.


    Wanted to die, but she could not die!


    Even had to be coerced into marrying the enemy who killed her father!


    This kind of despair, who could understand it?


    Tang Yu covered the sky with one hand, a woman like her did not have any leeway to resist at all!


    ��Junior Apprentice Sister, what��s wrong with being the Li Family��s daughter-in-law? Why go so far! Could it be that you can��t bear to part with this boy who ascended from the Lower Realms?�� Gui Tianyu suddenly said.


    The moment he spoke, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Yuan.


    The ascender aura on his body was too distinct.


    Previously, everyone��s focus was all on Yang Xuezhen, and none of them noticed this ascender.


    But now, after Gui Tianyu��s reminder, Ye Yuan became the focus of everyone��s attention all at once!


    Furthermore, Gui Tianyu had an implied meaning in his words. He was clearly dooming Ye Yuan.


    Yang Xuezhen��s beautiful body trembled and she hurriedly said to Ye Yuan, ��Y-You quickly leave! Young Master Yu, I don��t know him. I just brought him out of Inklight Forest, that��s all!��


    But Young Master Yu said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, an ant who just ascended, kill him and be done with it. It��s no big deal, right? Zhengqiu, Xuezhen is your woman. You take care of this matter yourself.��


    Sure enough, Li Zhengqiu��s gaze turned cold and he said with a cold smile, ��A toad also wants to lust after swan meat? An ant-like thing actually dares to compete with this young master for a woman?��


    Yang Xuezhen did not have much feelings for Ye Yuan, but she did not expect that she actually dragged Ye Yuan in.


    Her heart was burning with anxiety, but she also felt powerless.


    In the imperial city, people that Young Master Yu wanted to kill, there were really none who could escape before.


    ��She isn��t my woman!�� The Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly said.


    The moment these words came out, everyone laughed.


    This kid was scared!


    ��Hahaha �� you coward! Weren��t you very arrogant? Now, scared? Can��t wait to draw the line anymore?�� Gui Tianyu said with a loud laugh.


    A kind of ridicule came over from Lu Yuanjie and the group of family guards.


    Young Master Yu just smiled slightly, clearly feeling that Ye Yuan was very laughable too.


    Yang Xuezhen bit her lips gently. She understood Ye Yuan, but in this kind of situation, how she wished that someone could stand by her side!


    She was Ye Yuan��s life savior after all, but Ye Yuan actually turned his back on her at this time.


    Sad!


    Despair!


    Amidst everyone��s loud laugh, Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, ��But, she won��t be your woman either! Now, all get lost for me!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s laughter did not stop, but became even louder instead.


    ��Huhu, you��re making me get lost? Did your brain get squeezed by the plane passageway when you were ascending until it spoiled? Brat, kneel down now and apologize. Maybe if this young master is in a good mood, I can still spare your life!�� Li Zhengqiu said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Zhengqiu quietly and said lightly, ��Oh, is that so?��


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved.


    Only to see an afterimage flashed past, Ye Yuan��s speed was swift to the extreme.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    It was only to hear two crisp sounds, Li Zhengqiu knelt down.


    His kneecaps were already kicked to pieces by Ye Yuan!


    The laughter stopped abruptly!


    Everyone looked towards Ye Yuan, eyes filled with shock.


    This ant-like ascender crippled the middle Lesser Sublime Heaven Li Zhengqiu in one move?


    ��This �� How is this possible? He��s clearly an ant who just ascended!�� Gui Tianyu said in shock.


    ��S-Spatial rule! Just now, that was �� spatial rule?�� Lu Yuanjie��s pupils constricted as he exclaimed.


    In Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, spatial rule was similarly an extremely hard to comprehend power of rule.


    Arriving here, Ye Yuan��s spatial rule was greatly suppressed.


    It was just that, it was enough to deal with Li Zhengqiu!


    Ye Yuan was still expressionless and said indifferently, ��Since you knelt down, I��ll spare your life then. Now, everyone, get lost for me!��

 Chapter 2527 - Reasoning Things Out!

    In everyone��s eyes, Ye Yuan was just a little lamb who could be kneaded at will.


    But who could have thought that he was actually a fierce tiger that broke the gates!


    An ascender actually crippled a middle Lesser Sublime Heaven in one move. How could this not shock people?


    Tang Yu��s two eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across in his eyes.


    Of course, it was also merely just a surprise; that was all.


    That move earlier relied mostly on a movement technique to sneak attack.


    Furthermore, he, Tang Yu, was not Li Zhengqiu.


    Similarly middle Lesser Sublime Heaven, his strength was much stronger than Li Zhengqiu.


    ��When you said get lost, does it include this young master?�� Tang Yu��s gaze turned cold as he said.


    Ye Yuan looked him in the eye and said coolly, ��Doesn��t include you!��


    The corners of Tang Yu��s mouth curled slightly and he said with a smile, ��At least you know what��s good for you!��


    Everyone nodded slightly, thinking to themselves that this brat at least had some self-awareness, knowing that Young Master Yu was not to be pushed around.


    But Ye Yuan continued, ��You stay behind. I want to reason things out with you.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.


    ��Reason things out! Hahaha, this ascender is so funny, he actually wants to reason things out!��


    ��Tsk tsk, this method is good, still don��t need to take anything, just directly reason things out.��


    ��Keeping up appearances to cover up his predicament! Want to posture, but also don��t want to offend Young Master Yu. How can there be such a good thing?��


    �� ��


    Everyone ridiculed for a while, greatly despising Ye Yuan��s behavior of bullying the weak but fearing the wicked.


    Tang Yu also laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Reason things out? Huhu, this method is very fresh! Tell me, how do you want to reason things out with this young master?��


    A hint of a faint smile hung at the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth and he said, ��You��re sure that you want me to speak in front of so many people?��


    Tang Yu also smiled and said, ��To reason things out, one naturally has to speak in front of everyone!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Since you demand it strongly, okay!��


    At the next moment, Ye Yuan moved!


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was erratic, rushing in front of Tang Yu.


    Tang Yu seemed to have been long prepared, saying with a cold smile, ��Reckless and blind thing! Bright Moon Emperor Hand!��


    The moment Tang Yu made his move, it was akin to a luminous moon high above, illuminating the earth, the commotion incomparably shocking.


    At this moment, no matter which angle Ye Yuan came from, he would be completely locked down by Tang Yu.


    A hint of a mocking smile appeared on everyone��s faces.


    Overestimating one��s own ability, was talking about this, right?


    Fast movement technique had advantages, but what was more important was strength!


    ��Heh, this fool is really ignorant! He probably doesn��t know that Young Master Yu has already obtained the qualification for Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s trial! Very soon, he��ll become Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect disciple! This guy is simply using an egg to hit a rock!�� Gui Tianyu said with a sneer.


    ��Dual Polarity!��


    Ye Yuan��s Dual Polarity Sword Art suddenly erupted.


    The swift and fierce sword energy forced everyone to glance sideways.


    Boom!


    A clash without the least bit of flashiness, only to see Tang Yu��s body smash into the hall like a cannonball.


    Everyone was transfixed like wooden chickens.


    How could he be so strong?


    This ascender was clearly just lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, he actually clashed head-on with Young Master Yu and even had a complete victory?


    ��Brat, you��re dead for sure! Today, even immortals can��t save you too!�� When Gui Tianyu saw this scene, he was overjoyed in his heart.


    Boom!


    Amidst the rubble, Tang Yu suddenly stood up. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with balefulness.


    ��Brat, you��re very good! You��re still the first one who dared to attack this young master in this imperial city! If I don��t grind your bones to dust today, this young master will write my Tang word upside down! Attack together for me!�� Tang Yu said with an angry roar.


    The few subordinates that Tang Yu brought were not weak. They were all middle Lesser Sublime Heaven.


    Gui Tianyu and Lu Yuanjie knew that this was a chance to curry favor with Tang Yu and also ordered their subordinates to join the battlefield together.


    Ye Yuan just gave a cold laugh, Universe Sword Formation suddenly blooming!


    In Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Ye Yuan��s sword formation was extremely suppressed, it could only open up to a radius of 100 plus feet.


    But it was enough!


    The moment the sword formation opened, no matter how many people they sent, Ye Yuan would make none of them return!


    Inside the sword energy, the streaks of sword energies were incomparably sharp, wailing sounds echoing out.


    Especially Gui Tianyu and Lu Yuanjie two people, they received Ye Yuan��s care.


    Tang Yu was not in the sword formation, his eyes becoming wide-saucers.


    He never dreamed that this unassuming ant by Yang Xuezhen��s side was actually so strong!


    Sweeping away middle Lesser Sublime Heavens with the cultivation realm of lower Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    After several dozen breaths, those family guards fell to the ground, wailing bitterly.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned to Tang Yu. The latter trembled all over, his eyes revealing a look of fear.


    The demeanor of a young master previously was long gone already!


    ��W-What do you want to do? T-This young master warns you. I��m a member of the Tang Family. If you dare touch me, you��ll die very horrible!�� Tang Yu brought out the Tang Family and was immediately much pluckier.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I don��t want to do anything. I just want to reason things out with you.��


    Tang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this guy was still apprehensive of the Tang Family in the end.


    ��O-Okay, what��s there to reason with, you say!�� Tang Yu hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan grinned, his figure erupted once more.


    Dual Polarity Sword Formation!


    A streak of cold light flashed and Tang Yu��s right arm flew up high.


    He actually had an arm severed!


    ��ARGH!�� Tang Yu screamed miserably, soybean-sized sweat beads seeping out on his forehead.


    ��Y-You dare!�� Tang Yu cried out painfully.


    Ye Yuan came before him, patted his shoulder, and said smilingly, ��If enmity isn��t settled amicably, there is no end to it! Just an arm only. So let��s let this matter slide. Young Master Yu, look, how about we become brothers?��


    A guileless smile was hanging on Ye Yuan��s face.


    Tang Yu was taken aback, only then, knowing what things Ye Yuan wanted to reason it out with him with.


    Yang Xuezhen��s father was killed by the Li Family, but he was being the mediator, saying what if enmity was not settled amicably, there was no end to it, and even wanted Yang Xuezhen to marry over.


    This kind of shameless action made Ye Yuan very upset.


    Hence, he severed one of Tang Yu��s arms, but then he wanted to be brothers with him!


    Yang Xuezhen who was by the side was long already struck silly with amazement.


    She had always thought that she saved Ye Yuan��s life by bringing him out of Inklight Forest.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, he would have long been killed by those true spirits in Inklight Forest.


    How could she have known that he did not need her to save at all!


    Just based on Ye Yuan��s strength, how could Inklight Forest��s ordinary true spirits hurt him?


    Ye Yuan could originally not have gotten involved in this messy situation, but he followed her to Eastward Imperial City for all sorts of reasons.


    The goal was too obvious!


    He came to help her!


    Yang Xuezhen was very smart, how could she still not know what Ye Yuan had in mind?


    At this moment, she felt extremely touched.


    When she was in a state of despair, this man gave her reliance!


    Of course, this was actually her misunderstanding.


    Even without her, Ye Yuan would also come to Eastward Country.


    Eastward Country was the closest to Inklight Forest, if Jadetrue Heavenly Sect sent people, they might very likely come to Eastward Country.


    Ye Yuan was too far away from Inklight Forest currently, he did not feel at ease!


    If Jadetrue Heavenly Sect discovered the Heavenspan World, it would all be over!


    ��Eh? Looking at your appearance, it seems like you don��t want to be brothers with me? Fine, not a brother, it��s enemies then. I��ll send you on your way then!�� Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yu��s hateful gaze and said with a slight smile.

 Chapter 2528 - Good Brother!

    ��Don��t, don��t, don��t! I �� I��ll be brothers with you! I��ll be brothers with you!��


    How could Tang Yu care about the pain? He hurriedly agreed to it.


    If enmity was not settled amicably, there was no end to it!


    How big a deal was having an arm severed?


    It was still his little life that was important!


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Being brothers, that has to see fate! You can��t be brothers just because you want to!��


    Tang Yu had a myriad of profanities running across in his head!


    Just now, wasn��t it you who wanted to be brothers? How come it was up to fate in a blink of an eye?


    Don��t look at how these silkpants were normally aloof from the masses, an appearance of being far removed from the masses and reality.


    Actually, they had not experienced much bloodiness at all and feared to risk their necks the most.


    Lower Realms ascenders, which one did not kill their way over from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?


    In terms of brutality, ten thousand Tang Yu could not be compared to Ye Yuan.


    At this time, he was long already frightened by Ye Yuan until he pissed his pants.


    ��F-Fate? Big Brother, we��re the most fated! From now on, you��re my Tang Yu��s big brother!�� Tang Yu hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said smilingly, ��Did your Tang Family take part in killing Yang Xuezhen��s father or not?��


    Tang Yu��s pupils constricted, his head shaking like a rattle drum as he said, ��No! Absolutely not! This matter was singlehandedly planned by Li Batian, setting Yang Yu up and killing him. Later, he found this young �� younger brother and presented exorbitant gifts, that��s why this young brother reluctantly agreed to it. B-Big Brother, it really has nothing to do with this younger brother!��


    How could the current Tang Yu care about the face of a young master? He directly addressed himself as a younger brother.


    Ye Yuan observed his countenance and words, and he discerned that Tang Yu did not seem to be lying.


    Of course, even if he lied, Ye Yuan did not care either.


    Li Zhengqiu was greatly shocked and hurriedly said, ��Young Master Yu, how can you say that? This matter was clearly my Li Family receiving the Tang Family��s instructions! Otherwise, how could my father dare to take action?��


    There were wise people among the powerhouses present who could not help secretly shaking their heads when they heard this.


    Li Zhengqiu��s words seemed to be intelligent in small ways, but in reality, it was unbelievably stupid.


    Even if he can survive today��s hurdle, the wrath of the Tang Family was more terrifying!


    Li Zhengqiu was dragging the entire Li Family down the water!


    Sure enough, the moment Tang Yu heard, he immediately bristled in anger.


    He did not care about the injuries on his body too, getting to his feet with a grunt, and kicking a foot on Li Zhengqiu��s chest.


    ��You lackey, to actually dare frame a charge and put blame on me! Today, this young master will definitely exterminate you! No! Not just you! Your Li Family will have its name removed in the imperial city in the future!�� Tang Yu roared.


    Under Tang Yu��s sullen anger, this foot was not light at all, he practically used his full strength!


    Li Zhengqiu taking a solid hit, his two eyes immediately rolled backward, breathing in without breathing out anymore.


    Ye Yuan did not stop this scene. When doing a favor, go all the way. Li Zhengqiu and the Li Family must die.


    Finished dealing with this matter, Ye Yuan would be considered to have repaid Yang Xuezhen��s favor.


    ��B-Big Brother, you don��t listen to him make slanderous charges! This matter really has nothing to do with me at all!�� Tang Yu was practically complaining through tears.


    Ye Yuan switched to a smiley face and said, ��We��re brothers, I believe you! But, my friend got a fright this time. You know what to do, right?��


    The friend that Ye Yuan was talking about was naturally Yang Xuezhen.


    Tang Yu��s head nodded like a chicken pecking for rice, hurriedly saying, ��Big Brother, rest assured. This younger brother understands! Younger brother understands! From tomorrow, no, after today, Eastward Country will no longer have the Li Family!��


    Ye Yuan smiled without saying a word. Tang Yu��s heart quivered. His gaze landed on Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu.


    ��Big Brother rest assured, the Lu Family and Gui Family will also disappear!�� Tang Yu said with a fierce look.


    Lu Yuanjie and Gui Tianyu��s entire bodies trembled, greatly shocked in their hearts.


    This matter was serious!


    Their momentary impulse actually brought about the demise of their family clans.


    This price was too heavy!


    ��L-Lord Ye, this little brother had eyes but couldn��t see, and offended Your Excellency! I �� I beg Your Excellency to let me off!��


    Lu Yuanjie regretted it!


    He did not expect that his family clan would actually directly disappear because of an ascender!


    ��Lord Ye, I �� I��m sorry, p-please spare me!�� Gui Tianyu said in fear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Heh, your backgrounds are pretty good, posturing a little is excusable. But Gui Tianyu has already had killing intent aroused toward me, and he wanted to kill me several times. Just now, he even wanted to borrow Tang Yu��s hand to kill me! Huhu, do you think that I��d be so magnanimous?��


    Swoosh!


    A figure flashed past, Tang Yu��s foot was extremely vicious. Gui Tianyu looked like he was a goner.


    Following that, his gaze landed on Lu Yuanjie, scaring the piss out of him.


    Tang Yu moved, about to act, but then he heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Enough. Before tomorrow, the two of your great families disappear from the imperial city, and this matter will be left at this. If at this time tomorrow, you all still haven��t left, then I��ll pay a visit in person!��


    When Lu Yuanjie heard this, it was akin to hearing a heavenly melody, hurriedly nodding his head like a chicken pecking for rice as he said, ��Your Excellency, rest assured. This lowly one will immediately pull out of the capital!��


    Finished talking, he fled in helter-skelter.


    When the dust all settled, Tang Yu said cautiously, ��Is Big Brother still satisfied?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not bad. Since that��s the case, you go back first then! Of course, you can also bring the Tang Family��s people to come and take revenge on me. However �� I won��t show mercy the next time! Go!��


    Tang Yu was akin to being granted amnesty, hurriedly bringing his family guards and scrambling away.


    Very soon, the noisy Yang Family was already empty.


    In the meeting hall, there was only Yang Xuezhen, Yang Jin, as well as the attractive mature lady. They were left dumbstruck with amazement.


    No one could have thought that something that was originally a sure bet was actually completely overturned at the last moment!


    Yang Xuezhen this isolated orphan actually relied on an ascender and completed an astonishing counterattack!


    This change was seriously too fast, fast until it was already over before they reacted to it!


    The attractive mature woman knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and wept, ��Y-Your Excellency, spare my life! All of this was compelled against this lowly one��s will!��


    But Ye Yuan did not answer and said smilingly, ��This is your family affair, I won��t intervene. But, I think that with Yang Xuezhen succeeding the position of the family head now, there shouldn��t be anyone who has objections, right?��


    Only a fool would object!


    No one in the Yang Family dared to speak, it was equivalent to acquiescing to Yang Xuezhen��s identity.


    Yang Xuezhen was still in a daze until now. She also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually strong to such an extent.


    But this scene at present, she was caught off-guard.


    The mature woman instinctively wanted to object, but Ye Yuan gave her a look, and she immediately followed up at the behest of supernatural powers, saying, ��Yes! Whoever has objections can very well come up and challenge me!��


    No one dared to speak. It was equivalent to tacitly acknowledging it!


    But Yang Xuezhen immediately said, ��Ye Yuan, you should haven��t let Tang Yu leave! You don��t know the Tang Family��s power and influence. Once he leaves, the Yang Family will probably suffer a catastrophic calamity!��


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent, saying with a smile, ��Relax, Tang Yu is much smarter than those two fools. Of course, if he insists on seeking death, then I don��t mind sending him off too.��

 Chapter 2529 - Reshuffle

    ��Yu-er, who hurt you until like this?! Father will tear his body to shreds!��


    When Tang Yu returned to the Tang Family and Tang Jinhua saw that his son actually had an arm severed, he could not help flying into a great rage.


    He valued this son very highly.


    Disregarding his high cultivation talent, his wisdom was also very outstanding.


    Many of the Tang Family��s major things were all plotted by Tang Yu behind the scenes.


    The Tang Family prospering with each passing day these few years had Tang Yu��s contributions in it.


    Tang Yu��s complexion appeared rather pale because of excessive blood loss.


    Seeing Tang Jinhua get angry, he shook his head and said, ��Father, don��t! I can��t fathom this person. We��d best not provoke him! At least, before tomorrow, we can��t make a move without careful consideration!��


    Tang Yu��s words were like a bucket of cold water, splashing Tang Jinhua from head to toe.


    These few years, how fired up with boundless enthusiasm was Tang Yu?


    Apart from the royal family, no one could enter his sights anymore.


    Whoever provoked him, it was virtually equivalent to being sentenced to death.


    But now, he actually did not dare to go and retaliate against the other party, how could this not shock him?


    ��Yu-er, what on earth is going on? Didn��t you go to help the Li Family annex the Yang Family? How did it end up like this?�� Tang Jinhua curbed his anger and said in surprise.


    Tang Yu shook his head and said, ��This matter can��t be explained in a few words. Allow me to slowly explain to Father later. Your urgent matter on hand right now is to bring people to go and exterminate the Li Family, and capture Li Batian, the faster the better! I keep having a feeling that �� something is going to happen!��


    The astonishment in Tang Jinhua��s eyes grew even thicker.


    Didn��t his son go to help the Li Family? How come after he came back, putting aside that he had an arm severed, he even wanted to exterminate the Li Family?


    What the hell was this?


    But Tang Jinhua understood this son. He absolutely would not do things at random.


    He definitely had his reasons for making him go and exterminate the Li Family.


    He nodded his head and said, ��Okay, you recuperate your wounds at home. Father will bring people to go and exterminate the Li Family right now!��


    Tang Yu nodded his head with weak breathing and said, ��Father, remember to leave Li Batian with his life. I have use for it!��


    Tang Jinhua��s pupils constricted slightly, nodded his head, and turned around and left.


    Looking at Tang Jinhua��s departing back view, Tang Yu��s gaze flickered slightly and he said, ��His eyes were too sharp! It��s like I��m a transparent person in front of him! All wits lie bare naked! He dared to offend so many imperial city major clans at the same time. He must have reliance!��


    �� ��


    The next day, news flew over like snowflakes. The various major families of the imperial city were incredibly shocked.


    The Gui Family��s family head, Gui Haisheng, brought more than a dozen middle Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses of the Gui Family, and sneak attacked Ye Yuan in Purplecloud Alley, and was completely eradicated!


    Gui Family��s family head, Gui Haisheng, died!


    For some time, the various major families in the city were extremely terrified.


    Ye Yuan, a mere lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, actually slaughtered more than ten people by himself.


    Among them, there was even a powerful upper Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    Someone witnessed Ye Yuan enter Purplecloud Alley alone. There was absolutely no second person.


    Purplecloud Alley was located in a remote area, where few people tread.


    Thinking about it now, he was simply using himself as a lure, to bait the Gui Family out!


    When the Lu Family got this news, they were extremely terrified, and moved out of the imperial city overnight!


    Actually, the Lu Family planned on ambushing Ye Yuan too. It was just that they did not have time to do it yet.


    On that night, they also received news that the Li Family was pulled up by the roots, and Li Batian was directly captured away by Tang Jinhua.


    The Lu Family thought that with Ye Yuan severely wounding Tang Yu, the Tang Family would definitely destroy the Yang Family with ruthless means.


    But who knew that the Yang Family was not destroyed, but their rival Li Family was completely destroyed.


    What did this show?


    This showed that the Tang Family lowered their head to Ye Yuan!


    A leviathan like the Tang Family actually lowered their head to an ascender!


    How could the Lu Family not be surprised?


    They knew that this imperial city no longer had a foothold for him.


    But, compared to the Gui Family and Li Family, they were far too lucky.


    This time was destined to be a fretful night.


    Yang Xuezhen looked at this slightly thin man in front of her, a strange feeling rising in her heart.


    She also never dreamed that the guy she casually picked up, actually became her savior.


    When she was in despair, Ye Yuan swept across the imperial city with wrathful means, reshuffling the imperial city��s family clans overnight.


    Yang Xuezhen felt that this man before her eyes was a little unreal.


    He was clearly just an ascender who just entered lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, a rookie-to-the-max rookie.


    Yet, he had the strength that shocked the entire imperial city!


    When Ye Yuan wanted to use himself as bait to go out and bait the Gui Family, she had a million disagreements.


    She thought that Ye Yuan would not be able to come back anymore.


    But the news that came back shocked her until she could not close her mouth.


    She did not know how Ye Yuan did it, but it was sufficiently shocking!


    The Thousand Crane Sect had many young and outstanding talents. Those who pursued Yang Xuezhen were not in the minority.


    But these young heroes completely paled in comparison when placed in front of Ye Yuan.


    Under Ye Yuan��s dominance, Yang Xuezhen already completely controlled the Yang Family and imprisoned Yang Jin and his mother.


    Those clan elders who tried to betray the Yang Family were all expelled from the family by her.


    Yang Xuezhen had already become the Yang Family��s family head in reality as well as in name!


    ��Ye Yuan, I �� I��m sorry!�� Yang Xuezhen said rather embarrassedly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Why apologize?��


    Yang Xuezhen said with lowered brows, ��I always thought that you were a useless good-for-nothing, and even felt that I was bestowing kindness onto you. Thinking about it, it feels ridiculous.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��For everything that has a cause, there must be an effect. You were in a difficult situation and still wanted to save someone. This kindness, this Ye naturally remembers firmly in my heart. Otherwise, I also wouldn��t have intervened in this matter.��


    Yang Xuezhen was stunned when she heard that, and could not help feeling a sense of loss in her heart.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was just doing it for this little favor?


    But this did not count as a favor at all!


    Just as Yang Xuezhen��s mind was running wild, Tang Yu arrived.


    He personally detained Li Batian and came to apologize.


    After a night of medical treatment, Tang Yu��s injuries were already well. It was just that that severed arm appeared very off.


    The physiques of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses were special. They were the products of the power of rules to begin with. It could not be regrown by expending some divine essence.


    ��Big Brother, I��ve already detained the person here on your behalf! Want to kill or dismember is up to you!�� Tang Yu arrived before Ye Yuan and said respectfully.


    Getting the news of the Gui Family being completely wiped out, Tang Yu was also shocked until he could not close his mouth for a long time.


    He knew that something would happen, but he did not think that the news would be so shocking.


    He knew that middle Lesser Sublime Heavens were not Ye Yuan��s match, but he did not expect that even Gui Haisheng died too!��


    One had to know, his father, Tang Jinhua, was also merely upper Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    If they really provoked Ye Yuan, would the Tang Family have also been ��


    Thinking until here, Tang Yu��s back was already drenched.


    Not just Tang Yu, Tang Jinhua also broke out in cold sweat after learning of the ins and outs of the matter.


    This ascender was too bizarre!


    He could not help admiring his son��s wit. If they clashed with Ye Yuan, the Tang Family might have already been destroyed now.


    It was true that the royal family was behind the Tang Family, but it was also merely just behind.


    They were merely the royal family��s tool, that was all. They would not care about the Tang Family��s life and death.


    If the Tang Family collapsed, there would naturally be the Li Family and Zhang Family that would rise up.

 Chapter 2530 - Heavenly Alchemist!

    ��Miss Xuezhen, I��ll hand him over to you.��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, gesturing for him to be taken away.


    Yang Xuezhen bit her lips lightly, looking at Li Batian full of hatred.


    At the same time, she was also endlessly grateful to Ye Yuan.


    If not for Ye Yuan, forget about taking revenge, she would probably still have to be coerced and marry into the Li Family and suffer humiliation.


    This sort of days, she shuddered just thinking about it.


    ��Thank you, Ye Yuan!�� Yang Xuezhen said emotionally.


    Ye Yuan looked at her and smiled as he said, ��You should thank yourself! Kindness begets kindness, evil has its just desserts; erhaps it��s talking about this.��


    Tang Yu gave Ye Yuan a deep bow and said, ��Big Brother, yesterday��s matter was all Younger Brother who didn��t know how to act. I hope that Big Brother doesn��t take it to heart. From now on, Younger Brother will definitely turn over a new leaf!��


    The current Yang Family naturally attracted attention from all parties.


    Outside the Yang Manor��s gates, when everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    ��That��s Young Master Yu! He �� He had an arm chopped off by someone and actually still had to apologize?��


    ��This ascender is really mind-boggling, just what is his background?��


    ��I heard that he slaughtered the Gui Family by himself, really too terrifying!��


    ��Heh, you believe this? Just a lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, how can he possibly kill Gui Haisheng?��


    �� ��


    Tang Yu apologizing in front of so many people, it could almost be described as making an apology and asking for punishment.


    This sincerity was very sufficient.


    However, Ye Yuan did not answer, a faint smile hanging on his face, making Tang Yu feel flustered.


    His forehead seeped cold sweat, feeling like he was almost going to suffocate.


    Tang Yu also did not know why he would have such tremendous pressure facing Ye Yuan!


    ��I-If Big Brother feels like what Younger Brother has done can��t be forgiven, please punish Younger Brother heavily!�� Tang Yu seriously could not bear it anymore and said with gritted teeth.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��I cut off an arm of yours. Don��t you hate me?��


    Tang Yu shook his head like a rattle drum, hurriedly saying, ��This younger brother was momentarily muddled. This was just desserts!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Tang Yu, you��re a clever man. Some things, don��t need me to say, you understand too, right?��


    Tang Yu nodded his head again like a chicken pecking for rice and said, ��Big Brother, rest assured! In the future, the Yang Family and the Tang Family are of the same breath and branch, bound together for good or ill! Sister-in-law��s matter is my, Tang Yu��s, matter! Even if it��s climbing a mountain of blades or diving into a sea of fire, Tang Yu will complete it too!��


    The moment the words ��sister-in-law�� came out, Yang Xuezhen��s pretty face blushed red.


    But in her heart, there was actually a tiny hint of sweetness.


    Ye Yuan knew that Tang Yu misunderstood, but he did not explain anything either.


    Yang Xuezhen was a woman. It was still very difficult to support the Yang Family in an imperial city surrounded by wolves.


    But with the Tang Family, this ally, it would be different.


    There was the shadow of the royal family behind the Tang Family.


    If other families wanted to touch the Yang Family, they would have to reconsider it.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Forget about what happened in the past. I hope that you remember what you said just now. Otherwise �� you know what the consequences are.��


    Tang Yu used one arm to slap his chest fiercely and pledged in all solemnity, ��Big Brother, rest assured. Tang Yu will keep his words!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on Tang Yu��s severed arm and said coolly, ��Does your Tang Family have alchemists?��


    Tang Yu was taken aback and said, ��Alchemist? Big Brother is talking about �� heavenly alchemists, right? Of course, there are! My Tang Family��s main business is the management of heavenly medicine and heavenly pills. So there are naturally heavenly alchemists! Why, Big Brother? Are you actually also �� a heavenly alchemist?��


    Heavenly Stratum and Mortal Stratum powerhouses were essentially two different orders of life.


    In the 33 Heavens, alchemists were called heavenly alchemists, their statuses revered!


    Ye Yuan had just arrived. It was still his first time hearing of heavenly alchemists, he naturally found it novel too.


    He was very curious just what kind of strength this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s heavenly alchemists had.


    Him suddenly asking about this was actually planning on letting Tang Yu regrow his severed arm.


    However, since the Tang Family had heavenly alchemists, but Tang Yu did not recover, it was likely that it was not so easy for Heavenly Stratum powerhouses to regrow a severed arm.


    After Ye Yuan broke through to Heavenly Stratum, he was also deeply seized with a sudden feeling.


    He could feel the leap in his being!


    The current him, even if it was just using the power of the fleshy body, he could crush Dao Ancestors to death with just one hand!


    Even if it was the Heavenspan World��s Dao pill, it would not have any effect on Heavenly Stratum powerhouses too.


    Because the Heavenspan World��s spirit medicines were too weak!


    When Alchemy Dao reached the level of rule, it actually already exceeded the limits of the Heavenspan World.


    Therefore, when Dao pill powerhouses refined ordinary medicinal pills, it was simply effortless.


    And the spirit medicines that Dao pill powerhouses should actually refine were heavenly medicines!


    Facing a foreign world, with Ye Yuan��s personality, he naturally would not be self-conceited and make promises lightly.


    Since Tang Yu was sensible, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to not express anything at all.


    The arm was chopped off by him, then he would help Tang Yu grow it back.


    It was just that, before understanding heavenly alchemists, he would not say anything, nor would he make promises too.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m not some heavenly alchemist, but I��ve dabbled a little in Alchemy Dao. Since your Tang Family has heavenly alchemists, can you bring me to widen my knowledge?��


    Tang Yu hurriedly said, ��Of course! Big Brother is modest. What do you mean by dabbled! Before Big Brother ascended, you must have been that world��s alchemy path sovereign! It��s just that �� the refinement of heavenly pills is totally different from the Lower Realms�� medicinal pills. The difficulty is on completely different levels! Big Brother will likely have to take some time to dabble in heavenly pills.��


    Tang Yu started flattering away with the same line of bullshit.


    However, he already put it very tactfully.


    The complexity of heavenly pills was completely not what Lower Realms spirit medicines could compare to.


    Heavenly pills were naturally also not what ordinary divine pills could compare to.


    The complexity was absolutely a thousand times, ten thousand times of divine pills!


    Ascenders belonged to the foreigners of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, their affinity with heavenly medicines was very poor.


    Therefore, if ascenders wanted to become heavenly alchemists, the difficulty was a hundred times, a thousand times of native Heavenly Stratum powerhouses!


    It was also because of this reason that there were extremely few heavenly alchemists among ascenders.


    Among a thousand ascender alchemy path powerhouses, there might not be one capable of becoming a heavenly alchemist!


    This was still just alchemy path powerhouses. If placed among all of the ascenders, this ratio would be negligibly small.


    Even if one was once a top alchemy path powerhouse in the Lower Realms, they would also fade into the crowd after entering Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    The vast majority of the people gave up on the alchemy path.


    It was not that they wanted to, but it was just that it was far too hard!


    And this was also one of the reasons why native powerhouses looked down on ascenders!


    Five Light Heavenly Region was the site where ascenders gathered. But even the supreme powerhouses there also had to be cordial and respectful when they saw heavenly alchemists.


    In fact, they even needed to curry favor with heavenly alchemists.


    If one used 100 years to refine a heavenly pill that others used one year to refine, how to still live if like this?


    When Ye Yuan saw Tang Yu��s expression, how could he not know that he already put it very tactfully?


    But it was also precisely so that Ye Yuan was even more interested in heavenly alchemists.


    He said coolly, ��When talking to me in the future, don��t give me that line of bullshit! Speak the bold truth!��


    Tang Yu��s expression changed and he hurriedly said, ��Yes, Big Brother!��


    Tang Yu immediately talked about the difficulty of heavenly alchemists, making Ye Yuan��s brows furrow slightly too.


    He did not expect that it would actually be so difficult!

 Chapter 2531 - You’re Crazy!

    Whiteheart Hall, this was the residence that the Tang Family specially opened up for the retainership of one heavenly alchemist, Gu Mao.


    Gu Mao was a grade one heavenly alchemist who could be ranked even in the entire Eastward Country, his status being aloof.


    Even if he was a retainer, but actually, Gu Mao and the Tang Family were equals.


    Even Tang Jinhua also did not dare to order Gu Mao around.


    Since Ye Yuan wanted to widen his knowledge about heavenly alchemists, Tang Yu naturally brought him to find Gu Mao.


    In the great hall, Gu Mao was currently preaching Dao to a group of apprentices.


    A cluster of pale blue flames was leaping about in his palm.


    A stalk of heavenly medicine was being tempered in the flames.


    ��Refining the Dragonbone Grass, the Dao fire needs to be well-distributed, and you have to use your affinity to retain a portion of the power of rule, and get rid of the waste material ����


    Gu Mao taught the apprentices as he tempered it, looking very relaxed.


    While those apprentices had looks of admiration.


    To be able to temper heavenly medicines with such apparent ease, Master Gu Mao was well-deserving of being Master Gu Mao!


    Suddenly, Gu Mao��s palm shook, and the Dao fire extinguished.


    That Dragonbone Grass was already refined into a paste form.


    His gaze looked toward Tang Yu, and he said coolly, ��Why did Young Master Tang come here?��


    Tang Yu gave Gu Mao a bow and said respectfully, ��Master Gu, this friend of mine is very interested in heavenly pills, and je wanted to come here and learn from you. I wonder if Master Gu can accommodate a little?��


    ��An ascender?�� Gu Mao��s brows furrowed, appearing somewhat unhappy.


    ��Brother Tang, you brought an ascender to come and learn alchemy, is this smashing Master��s signboard?��


    ��Huhu, Brother Tang, are you here to make a joke? An ascender also wants to refine pills?��


    ��One look and it��s clear that this brat just ascended. Is he here to refine pills or to tend to the fire?��


    �� ��


    The moment Tang Yu opened his mouth, it immediately drew mockery from the group.


    Ascenders refining pills was like a sow climbing up a tree, being absolutely a novelty.


    Many ascenders did not believe in heresy and wanted to become heavenly alchemists, but they eventually became laughing stocks.


    Clearly, they ran into another one who did not believe in heresy.


    Seeing Gu Mao��s expression, Tang Yu secretly thought to himself that things were not good, and hurriedly said, ��Master Gu, this friend of mine just wants to broaden his knowledge. He��ll just sit in and listen to you.��


    Gu Mao snorted coldly and said, ��What��s a good-for-nothing sitting in here to listen for? Even if he listens until seas wither and rocks decay, he can��t perceive the reason why too! Young Master Tang, you��re also from a learned family. Don��t you even understand this bit?��


    Tang Yu had an awkward look, he knew that it would be this result long ago, but how could he dare refuse Ye Yuan��s request?


    He could not resist sneaking a peek at Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan did not get angry. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.


    But Gu Mao did not care about Tang Yu��s awkwardness and said directly to Ye Yuan, ��Brat, if you have this bit of time, why not put more of it into cultivation?! This Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven isn��t when you were in the Lower Realms anymore! Even if your alchemy path strength is exceedingly formidable in the Lower Realms, you��re also a bug in this place! Furthermore, just a bug that can never roll over!��


    Gu Mao was already very courteous on the account of Tang Yu��s face.


    After all, the Tang Family had supported him a lot over the years.


    One had to act out of consideration for others. He could not very well flare up too much.


    If somebody else came, he would have long sent them out with a slap.


    ��You��re crazy!�� Facing everyone��s taunting, Ye Yuan had kept silent the entire time. But at this time, he suddenly said those words[1].


    Everyone��s expressions changed drastically!


    Tang Yu had his soul frightened out of his body by this sentence.


    He cried bitterness without ceasing in his heart, but it was already too late.


    Damn it! Knew that it was nothing good! My good big brother, aren��t you killing me here? Tang Yu said in despair in his heart.


    ��What did you say?�� Gu Mao��s face turned dark as he said in a solemn voice.


    ��I said, you��re crazy!�� Ye Yuan continued.


    It was over!


    Completely over!


    With this, it was going to offend Master Gu Mao badly!


    ��B-Big Brother, j-just kill me! If you were to anger Master Gu Mao away, my Tang Family will be ruined too!�� Tang Yu directly knelt down for Ye Yuan with a thud.


    Gu Mao held great significance to the Tang Family. Once he left, it would be tantamount to the Tang Family being half-ruined.


    Like this, might as well kill him!


    Both sides were heavyweights, neither one could be offended. Tang Yu was like an aggrieved little wifey who was about to break down.


    ��Insolence! An ant-like ascender actually dares to make impertinent remarks to Master!��


    ��Looks like you��re tired of living!��


    ��Hurry up and apologize, maybe we can still spare your lowly life!��


    �� ��


    Gu Mao��s disciples were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing to skin Ye Yuan alive and swallow him whole.


    Who was Master Gu?


    The Tang Family��s family head, Gu Jinhua, did not dare to show any disrespect to him too.


    This ascender who came from god knows where actually dared to call him crazy!


    When Gu Mao heard that, he said in great fury, ��Insolent thing! You��re the crazy one! Tang Yu, if you don��t give this old man an explanation today, my cooperation with the Tang Family will end here!��


    Tang Yu��s two eyes went dark when he heard it, almost fainting.


    He clung onto Ye Yuan��s thighs and complained tearfully, ��Big Brother, if your anger hasn��t been appeased yet, just kill me! As long as you let the Tang Family off!��


    How could he still not understand now that Ye Yuan was simply here to harm him? How was he interested in whatever heavenly alchemist?


    Ye Yuan ran over and directly attacked Master Gu without another word.


    Was the meaning not obvious yet?


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with Tang Yu and said coolly, ��Your fire control seemed like lifting something heavy as if it were light just now. But actually, it palpitated many times in the process. This kind of situation should be caused by fire poison making mischief. If I didn��t guess wrongly, the fire poison within your body is likely almost overwhelming you already, right?��


    Those apprentices could not see the reason why. Hence, earlier, each and every one of them was amazed greatly.


    But what kind of visual prowess did Ye Yuan have?


    He could tell at a glance that during the process of Gu Mao��s fire control, there were many indicators of instability.


    Of course, it was also merely just a little bit, it had not reached the point of losing control yet.


    Furthermore, he could feel that although Gu Mao controlled the Dao fire very fiercely, it was extremely turbid.


    If one did not handle it properly when controlling fire, it was very easy to accumulate fire poison within the body.


    Therefore, that was why Ye Yuan said that he was crazy!


    He was not attacking Gu Mao, but that Gu Mao was really ill!


    ��Brat, you��re really tired of living! Don��t think how impressive you are in the Lower Realms, reaching Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, you��re not even a fart!��


    ��Displaying your slight skill in front of Master Gu? Heh, he��s one of Eastward Country��s few grade one heavenly alchemists. What problem he has, wouldn��t he know himself?��


    ��Looks like you��re courting death yourself! Brothers, exterminate him!��


    �� ��


    The group of disciples was eager for a fight, already planning on finishing Ye Yuan off.


    They were Gu Mao��s disciples and did not need to give Tang Yu too much face.


    Ye Yuan was so overboard, they naturally had to give it to him.


    ��Stop!�� Suddenly, Gu Mao gave a cold cry.


    The group of disciples were stunned for a bit, turned back to look at Gu Mao, but they discovered that Gu Mao��s expression became unprecedentedly solemn.


    ��M-Master?��


    ��All get lost for Master! Also, today��s matter, whoever dares to leak half a word, Master will clean up my household!�� Talking up to here, Gu Mao seethed with killing intent.


    Everyone had astounded expressions!


    [1] Unfortunately, it��s one of those Chinese wordplays that can��t quite be translated. The words ��You��re ill�� can also mean ��You��re crazy.��

 Chapter 2532 - Affinity

    The group of disciples exchanged glances, each and every one of them was shocked until they were staring dumbfounded with their mouths agape.


    Nobody was a fool, Gu Mao��s attitude already explained everything!


    Could it be that this ascender saw through their master with one glance?


    This �� How was this possible?


    This was to say that the current Gu Mao was already plagued with fire poison, with the ailment being deeply rooted in his vital organs?


    Actually, fire poison was not sufficient to cause death.


    The life of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses was not so easy to take.


    But, when fire poison was accumulated to a certain degree, it would greatly diminish Gu Mao��s control of fire.


    A heavenly alchemist being unable to control fire, that would really be a joke!


    He, Gu Mao��s illustrious name, would be ruined overnight!


    Who could care about a heavenly alchemist who could not refine pills?


    Gu Mao��s face fell and he said with a cold cry, ��Still not leaving?��


    The group of disciples were helpless and could only leave.


    Tang Yu already stopped crying, looking at Ye Yuan with a shocked face.


    Gu Mao was really sick!


    Ye Yuan saw through it with one glance!


    Something that the entire Tang Family, even the entire Eastward Country did not notice, Ye Yuan saw through it with one glance!


    This was too terrifying!


    No one knew that Gu Mao��s ailment had already attacked his vitals, and he could not refine pills anymore.


    He hid it extremely well!


    Gu Mao had a gloomy look as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Kid, help me purge the fire poison in my body. This old man can take you in as a disciple!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said coolly, ��You��re ill!��


    Gu Mao could not help choking when he heard that. Could this boy be a fool, only knowing how to say this one sentence back and forth?


    Freaking hell, I was fooled? Gu Mao thought.


    Gu Mao said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, you��re messing with me?��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said, ��This time, it��s your head that��s ill! Just your bit of paltry skills, taking me in as a disciple? Also, why should I help you get rid of the fire poison? Who the hell do you think you are!��


    Gu Mao was accustomed to being praised by others and had always been in a prominent position.


    Therefore, he had a condescending attitude when he spoke to Ye Yuan.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan��s identity as an ascender made Gu Mao look down on him greatly.


    But Ye Yuan��s pride was even greater than his!


    If Gu Mao��s alchemy standard was really transcendent, then forget it. But, that move of his previously might have been very impressive in front of the group of disciples.


    But in front of Ye Yuan, it was not worth mentioning at all!


    Ye Yuan did not understand heavenly pills, but it did not mean that he did not understand alchemy.


    His basic skills were extremely solid. Apart from his lack of understanding of the heavenly pill system, his other aspects of alchemy standard already far surpassed the standard of the Lower Realms long ago.


    Heavenly alchemists were also merely thus in Ye Yuan��s eyes!


    At least, Gu Mao was not worthy of Ye Yuan��s admiration.


    To have arrogance, one needed the capital to be arrogant!


    Tang Yu just saw signs of mitigation, he did not expect Ye Yuan to suddenly utter such a sentence.


    Right now, he even had the heart to die.


    Sure enough, Gu Mao flew into a great rage the moment he heard it and said, ��Insolent thing! Tang Yu, don��t blame me for not giving your Tang Family face today! This brat is too impudent!��


    Tang Yu was immediately scared out of his wits and used his lone arm to hurriedly block Gu Mao and said, ��M-Master, you mustn��t make a move! You �� You aren��t his match!��


    ��What? You��re saying that this old man isn��t this ascender��s match?�� The moment Gu Mao heard, he was even more enraged.


    Tang Yu said, ��Yes! My big brother annihilated the Gui Family by himself yesterday! Gui Haisheng died too!��


    These words were like a basin of cold water splashing down, directly drenching Gu Mao awake.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with a horrified look and said, ��How is that possible? This old man doesn��t believe it!��


    Tang Yu said, ��It��s true! Master Gu, would Little Nephew still lie to you?��


    Gu Mao still had a look of disbelief written all over his face, but he knew that Tang Yu absolutely did not dare to lie to him about this sort of thing.


    After all, such a big matter, he would know as long as he went out and inquired about it.


    But could this guy in front of him who was merely lower Lesser Sublime Heaven really kill Gui Haisheng?


    This �� How was this possible?


    Gu Mao suddenly felt that Ye Yuan was very difficult to deal with.


    Unable to beat him nor win him in posturing?


    More importantly, this guy might have the ability to purge his fire poison!


    ��Humph! You impudent boy, saying that this old man has middling skills! If you have the capability, extract the Dragonbone Grass in front of this old man!�� Gu Mao was still not convinced as he said with a sneer.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��You want to test my strength to see whether I can help you get rid of the fire poison or not?��


    Gu Mao��s old face turned red, not expecting to be directly exposed by Ye Yuan.


    However, unexpectedly, Ye Yuan picked up another stalk of Dragonbone Grass, and reached his hand out and beckoned. The Dao fire in the furnace fire flew over very obediently.


    It was only to see the pale blue flame come to Ye Yuan��s hand, dexterous to the extreme like a bouncing elf.


    Instantly, it gave people a feeling of gladdening the heart and pleasing the eye.


    Gu Mao and Tang Yu��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Ye Yuan��s move was truly unbelievably amazing.


    Gu Mao��s face actually betrayed the expression of feeling ashamed of his unworthiness.


    He finally understood why Ye Yuan said paltry skills.


    Fire controlling technique, he was far too lacking when compared to Ye Yuan!


    ��W-What a powerful fire controlling technique! No, this isn��t a fire controlling technique! This is simply an art! A grand level art!�� Tang Yu said sincerely.


    Refining heavenly pills, the requirements of fire controlling technique were harsh to a hair-raising level.


    Therefore, the fire controlling techniques of heavenly alchemists were all very strong.


    At least, it was completely not what ascenders could compare to.


    However, Ye Yuan��s fire controlling technique subverted his understanding of ascenders.


    Gu Mao��s fire controlling technique was weak to the max in front of Ye Yuan!


    Gu Mao��s expression was very ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! No matter how good the fire controlling technique is, what��s the use? The affinity of ascenders is too weak. In less than 100 breaths, the Dragonbone Grass will definitely be burned into charcoal!��


    In reality, he had long already seen through it.


    The moment Ye Yuan got started, he felt very strained.


    Although his fire controlling technique was strong, he was helpless about having no affinity and was unable to perceive the complex structure contained in the heavenly medicine.


    Extraction required one to perceive through the Dao fire.


    Therefore, affinity was extremely important.


    Without affinity, heavenly alchemists were simply unable to differentiate what were impurities, what was the essence, and also which were the things that had minimal content, but were indispensable in the heavenly medicine.


    One could say that affinity was eyes, allowing you to see everything in the heavenly medicine clearly.


    Without affinity, heavenly alchemists were like blind men.


    Therefore, among ascenders, the vast majority of the people were unable to become heavenly alchemists.


    The moment Ye Yuan started, he felt it.


    The power and complexity of heavenly medicines far exceeded his cognition.


    This was the most ordinary Dragonbone Grass, but it was ten thousand times more complicated than the top spirit medicine that Ye Yuan had ever seen before too!


    But, when he attempted to differentiate the elements contained in the Dragonbone Grass, he perceived a cloud of chaos.


    He did not know where!


    He finally understood why Tang Yu said that ascenders could not become heavenly alchemists.


    Unable to even differentiate the composition of heavenly medicines, how to become a heavenly alchemist?


    Extracting heavenly medicines was ten thousand times more complicated than even refining a single Dao pill!


    A slight slip-up and the Dao fire would burn the heavenly medicine into black charcoal.


    Ten breaths, 50 breaths, 100 breaths!


    Ye Yuan did not give up, he relied on his almost freakish instinct and extracted the Dragonbone Grass bit by bit.


    Around 15 minutes later, a paste was refined by Ye Yuan.


    Gu Mao��s eyes went wide!


    ��This �� How is this possible? His perception probably doesn��t even reach three points! So how can he possibly refine the Dragonbone Grass?�� As Gu Mao was talking, he nearly bit his tongue off.

 Chapter 2533 - One Point

    That paste was black and obviously contained many impurities.


    Compared to the Dragonbone Grass which Gu Mao refined, one look and the quality was far worse.


    But it was still refined in the end!


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and muttered to himself with a frown: ��This is affinity? Indeed really difficult!��


    During the process of refining, he felt like he was in a different world from the Dragonbone Grass.


    This kind of refinement, it was still his first time encountering in his life.


    The products in the rule world were indeed extraordinary!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was a pure world, a world on a completely different level from a small chiliocosm.


    A clear distinction from each other!


    When refining the Dragonbone Grass, he clearly felt a repulsive force.


    Ye Yuan was thinking deeply about this repulsive force the whole time and completely did not notice the other two people��s expressions.


    The expressions on Gu Mao and Tang Yu��s faces were exactly the same, both eyes becoming round circles, their mouths opening wide, practically able to stuff a fist in.


    It could be seen how shocked the two people were.


    ��Mn? Using this expression to look at me for what? I already said, his piddling fire controlling technique is simply paltry skills,�� Ye Yuan finally came back to his senses and said coolly as he looked at the two people��s expressions.


    ��You �� You refined the Dragonbone Grass in the past before?�� Gu Mao said in amazement.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��No, this is my first time refining a heavenly medicine.��


    ��Impossible! As an ascender, you succeeded the first time you refined a heavenly medicine? You��re taking me to be a f*cking moron!�� Gu Mao jumped straight up and burst out with foul language.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at an idiot and said, ��This is also called succeeding? Do you heavenly alchemists all have such low requirements? Makes sense. Your standards are also just like that, I reckon that the quality of your pill refinement isn��t much either.��


    Gu Mao nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. This comment was invincible!


    Being despised by an ascender who refined the Dragonbone Grass into a black paste, Gu Mao��s broke down inwardly.


    But he was actually unable to refute!


    Under the state where his affinity did not reach three points, Ye Yuan could actually refine the Dragonbone Grass successfully. This showed how solid his foundation was!


    It could be said that apart from affinity, Ye Yuan��s alchemy path strength surpassed him all-round!


    Gu Mao billowed his beard and said with a cold snort, ��Brat, don��t you get cocky! Without affinity, even if you have heaven-defying talent, it��s impossible to refine a true heavenly pill too! Affinity is a heavenly chasm; a heavenly chasm that you��ll never be able to cross!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and asked Tang Yu, ��What on earth is affinity?��


    Tang Yu shook his head hard and woke himself up from shock and said, ��Heavenly medicines are born from heaven and earth, and they are pre-natal items. Humans are the smartest of all life forms but are post-natal creatures. Native Heavenly Stratum powerhouses are Heavenly Stratum when born. Although they belong to post-natal too, they are closer to pre-natal than ascenders. Therefore, heavenly medicines have a stronger affinity to us. But, ascenders ascend from the Lower Realms and cultivate step by step, attaining Dao, belong to the post-natal of post-natal.��


    ��Furthermore �� the lower the starting point, it shows the lesser the spirit of pre-natal that one is stained with when born, and the weaker the affinity too. Looking at Big Brother��s undulation just now, I��m afraid �� your affinity for heavenly medicines is less than three points!��


    Talking until the back, Tang Yu felt that it was a shame too.


    With a heaven-defying talent like Ye Yuan, if his affinity was sufficient, he would absolutely be an incomparably powerful heavenly alchemist.


    But it was a pity, just as Gu Mao said, affinity was a heavenly chasm, blocking all heavenly alchemists outside the door.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was especially so!


    Ye Yuan was not too dejected, but asked curiously, ��How much is �� three points?��


    Gu Mao sneered and said, ��Affinity has 100 points, the closer to 100 points, the stronger one��s affinity! Of course, apart from the legendary pre-natal physique, it��s simply impossible to reach 100 points. Want to become a heavenly alchemist, the worst affinity has to reach 30 points too! This old man��s affinity reached 39 points! Ordinary ascenders, the worst affinity is also more than eight points. The high ones can even reach the threshold of 30 points, becoming heavenly alchemists! As for you �� huhu.��


    In the last two words, Gu Mao��s mocking intent was very thick.


    Tang Yu smiled bitterly and followed up, ��Judging from Big Brother��s fluctuations just now, it shouldn��t surpass �� three points! Of course, as for the specifics of how much, it needs to be tested by the pre-natal cloud stone. Perhaps �� there��s hope of surpassing three points.��


    Talking until the back, even Tang Yu himself did not believe it.


    This comforting act was so fake!


    He changed the topic and said, ��However, Big Brother, it��s also precisely because so that you��re really hair-raisingly awesome to actually be able to refine a paste of Dragonbone Grass just now! I really can��t imagine what level your strength will reach if your affinity can reach 30, no, even if it��s ten!��


    Just now, he was really shocked!


    Logically speaking, Ye Yuan��s paltry affinity, forget about 100 breaths, even if it was half a breath, he would not be able to hold on either.


    But he forcibly refined a paste of Dragonbone Grass.


    How much strength was needed to make up for this?


    Unimaginable!


    Of course, it was also precisely because of this that Tang Yu felt even more pity.


    Affinity was innate, it was unable to be compensated for post-natal.


    Ye Yuan��s bit of affinity, no matter how heaven-defying he was, it was also impossible to become a heavenly alchemist.


    One had to know, refining the Dragonbone Grass was just the basic skill of heavenly alchemists.


    The process of refining heavenly pills was a thousand times, ten thousand times more complicated than this!


    Without the support of affinity, it was simply impossible to refine.


    ��Heh, this old man has a pre-natal cloud stone here, measure it and we��ll know! If this brat��s affinity can exceed three points, this old man will remove my head and let him kick as a ball!�� Gu Mao said with a sneer.


    Without affinity, Ye Yuan was a piece of trash.


    He knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to save him, so there was no need to have any misgivings anymore.


    Before long, Gu Mao fetched a pre-natal cloud stone.


    Ye Yuan did not refuse it either. He was also curious about his own affinity.


    The pre-natal cloud stone was a cloud-shaped stone. Densely packed scale markings were on it, it was clearly used to test affinity.


    He placed his right palm on the pre-natal cloud stone. In the next second, Gu Mao and Tang Yu stared dumbfoundedly in amazement.


    ��Mn? Why isn��t there any reaction at all? Could it be that there��s something wrong with this pre-natal cloud stone?�� Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    He placed his hand on it for a long time, but the pre-natal cloud stone did not have any activities, which unwittingly made him doubt this thing.


    ��H-huhu, problem? Brat, looks like I overestimated you too much! Not that the pre-natal cloud stone has a problem, but that you have the problem! Your affinity doesn��t even reach one point! Can say that you��re a complete and utter trash on the path of heavenly pills! No matter how transcendent your fire controlling technique is, it��s also impossible to become a heavenly alchemist! Therefore, stop posturing in front of this old man in the future!�� Gu Mao��s expression was peculiar to the extreme.


    His words were half sarcasm and half surprise.


    Ye Yuan was the first whose affinity did not even reach one point among the people that he had met!


    How could this not surprise him?


    Tang Yu was also transfixed and said with a bitter smile, ��Big Brother, where on earth did you ascend from? Among ten million ascenders, there also wouldn��t be someone like you who doesn��t even reach one point!��

 Chapter 2534 - Constant Dripping Wears the Stone!

    Ye Yuan stroked his chin, looking innocent.


    He was not very dejected. He was just feeling a little helpless.


    Ye Yuan��s starting point was seriously too low.


    Who could have thought that a little silkpants who was once from the State of Qin could actually break through to Heavenly Stratum and reach his cultivation realm presently?


    However, people could not choose their background but could choose to face it calmly.


    The difficulties that Ye Yuan had experienced walking all the way were beyond counting.


    He had never feared difficulties before and would not give up on the alchemy path because his affinity was only one point.


    In reality, the scene of refining the Dragonbone Grass earlier, already indicated a lot.


    At least, his instinct could support him to refine the Dragonbone Grass!


    Not being able to refine well was just because his instinct was not strong enough, that was all!


    Not that you could not do it, it was just that you did not work hard enough yet!


    ��Looks like �� I have to expend some effort to become a heavenly alchemist,�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.


    ��Become a heavenly alchemist? Huhu, boy, did you not understand what this old man meant? Even if you cultivate until heaven and earth turn old, it��s also impossible to become a heavenly alchemist! With your talent, if your affinity could reach 30 points, you can absolutely become an extremely strong heavenly alchemist! But this old man has never heard before of a guy, that even the pre-natal cloud stone doesn��t react to, can become a heavenly alchemist! This is absolutely impossible!�� Gu Mao said with decisiveness that could chop iron.


    Even Tang Yu also smiled bitterly and said, ��Big Brother, don��t waste your effort anymore. Your affinity doesn��t even reach one point. It��s absolutely impossible to become a heavenly alchemist! You��ve tried it yourself too. You can��t even extract the Dragonbone Grass, let alone talk about heavenly pills.��


    It was not that he did not believe Ye Yuan, but it was just that Ye Yuan was too trash.


    Ye Yuan did not even reach one point affinity and he actually wanted to become a heavenly alchemist. If this matter spreads, it could probably make people laugh their heads off.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��This Dragonbone Grass shouldn��t be very expensive, right? Prepare a closed-seclusion venue for me, then deliver to me 1000 stalks of Dragonbone Grass!��


    There were quite a number of Dragonbone Grass casually placed on the tables here. Clearly, it was used for the disciples�� cultivation and naturally would not be too expensive.


    Ye Yuan would not be courteous with Tang Yu either, directly ordering.


    When Gu Mao saw that Ye Yuan did not give up, he snickered and said, ��Brat, you really won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! If even one point affinity can become a heavenly alchemist, then even a sow can climb a tree! Disregarding other things, this Dragonbone Grass, if you can refine it to this old man��s quality, this old man will acknowledge you as my master in front of the entire city!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Forget it. Your talent is too poor. I won��t take you in! If really want to bet, just teach me the things you know and that will do. If I lose, I��ll help you get rid of the fire poison. As for acknowledging as your master, let��s dispense with it.��


    Tang Yu was rendered speechless and Gu Mao was furious.


    Some guy whose affinity was one point actually looked down on him!


    ��Fine! This old man will bet with you! If even with one point affinity you can become a heavenly alchemist, then wouldn��t this entire city��s heavenly alchemists become a joke?�� Gu Mao said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him, turning right around and leaving.


    Tang Yu followed after subserviently and said with a bitter smile, ��Big Brother, why did you need to wager out of spite?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not say anything.


    Out of spite?


    He, Ye Yuan, would feel wronged and act rashly, but he would not behave out of spite with Gu Mao.


    He looked down on Gu Mao��s bit of ability. The reason why he wanted to learn was just in order to learn the rudiments.


    He, Ye Yuan, would not walk other people��s paths.


    But he also would not look at others through colored spectacles.


    For Gu Mao to be able to be supported avidly by the Tang Family, he must have aspects that surpassed others.


    Starting from him here was clearly the most convenient.


    �� ��


    Hence, he started a drawn-out retreat.


    What Tang Yu prepared for Ye Yuan was naturally the best closed-seclusion venue.


    Although the Dao fire was not as good as Gu Mao��s, the quality was very good too.


    These Dao fires were just the lowest grade wild fires; the quality was not high and had a lot of impurities.


    Therefore, some fire poison would more or less accumulate within the bodies of heavenly alchemists.


    It was just that some Dao fires had many impurities, some Dao fires had less impurities.


    Gu Mao��s Dao fire was very powerful but very mixed and very difficult to control, the fire poison was also harder to purge.


    Heavenly alchemists were doctors to begin with. They naturally had the means to get rid of fire poison.


    It was just that when fire poison accumulated to a certain degree and became deeply entrenched within the body, wanting to purge it would be hard.


    Gu Mao was currently plagued with fire poison for the sake of pursuing the power of Dao fire, in immense agony.


    But Ye Yuan��s fire controlling method was much more brilliant than Gu Mao��s.


    This Dao fire was incomparably docile in front of him, how could fire poison possibly hurt him?


    It was just that the extraction was not smooth.


    One stalk, two stalks ��


    Ye Yuan spent a month��s time and completely refined all 1000 stalks of Dragonbone Grass.


    But, the effect was not obvious.


    Ye Yuan also finally knew that affinity could not be improved at all.


    No matter how hard he worked, it was a region of chaos in front of him from beginning to end.


    He was like a blind man; unable to see anything.


    Even if his fire controlling technique was superb, it would not work too!


    A month later, Ye Yuan called Tang Yu over and had him prepare another thousand Dragonbone Grass.


    Tang Yu swept a glance around the closed-seclusion venue, it was all that kind of dark, paste form of Dragonbone Grass. He knew that Ye Yuan had not improved at all in this one month��s time.


    In reality, he did not harbor much hope either.


    Being able to extract the Dragonbone Grass into paste form, this in itself was already a miracle.


    Wanting to reach Gu Mao��s standard, this miracle in itself was ten thousand times, even 100 thousand times harder than the previous miracle!


    This was simply something impossible!


    ��Big Brother, your martial path talent is also extremely strong. Why waste time on something impossible? In Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, forget about not reaching one point, even if your affinity reached 29 points, it��s impossible to become a heavenly alchemist too! 30 affinity points, this is a watershed! Moreover, you don��t even reach one point!�� Tang Yu urged bitterly.


    However, Ye Yuan was not moved at all, he just said indifferently, ��In the future, have someone deliver me 1000 stalks of Dragonbone Grass every month.��


    Tang Yu shook his head helplessly and left.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan was a stubborn donkey; one was unable to drag at all.


    In the closed-seclusion venue, Ye Yuan refined the Dragonbone Grass stalk after stalk, as if he would never tire.


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have returned to his previous life.


    In order to experience the medicinal properties of spirit medicines, he had once spent a hundred years indulging in Tier 3 and below spirit medicines.


    At that time, he extracted over and over again, refining.


    Now, he returned to the past again.


    It was just that this time, it was a thousand times harder than it was then!


    One had to know, at that time, his perception could distinctly feel the medicinal properties.


    But now, he could not feel it at all!


    That sort of natural rejection made him unable to get close at all.


    It was just that he did not care.


    This kind of dreary to the extreme refinement, when laid on any heavenly alchemist, they would not be able to bear it.


    But Ye Yuan gladly endured the hardship!


    Spring, summer, autumn, winter, it cycled endlessly.


    Year after year.


    In a blink, it was already 18 springs and autumns.


    Around Ye Yuan was filled with pastes of Dragonbone Grass.


    It was just that these pastes of Dragonbone Grass were crystal clear, seemingly almost transparent!

 Chapter 2535 - Brat, Quickly Demonstrate Your Skill!

    ��These few years, His Majesty instructed to thoroughly investigate the matter of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect deacon, Jun Tian��s death. Now, there��s finally some leads. Someone saw that the place Deacon Jun last went seemed to be Inklight Forest! Calling you all here is to have you all cast the net out. Whoever can find Deacon Jun or find his cause of death first, this prince will naturally reward heavily!��


    In the Tang Family��s council hall, a young man with a handsome face like carved jade sat on the seat of honor, radiating awe without being angry.


    This young man was precisely Eastward Country��s second prince, his highness.


    He came to the Tang Family in secret this time, secretly meeting with the affiliated factions headed by the Tang Family, in order to borrow their strength and find news of Jun Tian.


    This matter had a great bearing on his struggle with the crown prince. Hence, Second Prince was naturally extremely cautious.


    Tang Jinhua hurriedly got up and gave a bow and said, ��Second Prince��s matter is the Tang Family��s matter! Later, I��ll cast the net out. Even if we dig three feet under Inklight Forest, we��ll also find Deacon Jun!��


    Second Prince nodded and said, ��Mn, my mind is naturally set at ease when Mr. Tang does things. This matter is very important, you all mustn��t take it lightly. Also, for Master Gu, you have a wide circle of acquaintances, if you hear some news, you can exchange with the Tang Family to make up for what each other is lacking.��


    Gu Mao nodded and said, ��Second Prince, rest assured. Gu Mao understands. But speaking of which, Tang Yu, that big brother of yours, the time he ascended seems to just nicely match the time when Deacon Jun went missing, right? What a coincidence!��


    Tang Yu��s expression changed, not expecting that Gu Mao actually turned the heat on him at this time!


    Ever since that incident that time, Gu Mao and the Tang Family had passed their honeymoon period, appearing united outwardly, but divided at heart.


    It was just that the entanglement between both parties�� interests was too deep, so there had been no eruption all along.


    But this time, Gu Mao suddenly erupted.


    Tang Yu��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Master Gu, you!��


    But Second Prince��s eyes lit up and he asked curiously, ��Tang Yu��s big brother?��


    Gu Mao smiled and said, ��Second Prince, Your Highness, speaking of this person, he��s really a mysterious figure! Clearly only has lower Lesser Sublime Heaven strength, but he pulled the Gui Family up by the roots! Even Gui Haisheng died at his hands too. But, what��s even more impressive is that �� huhu, his heavenly medicine affinity doesn��t even reach one point, and he actually dreams of becoming a heavenly alchemist! Then, he made a bet with this old man, and went into closed-seclusion for 18 years! I��m afraid that he doesn��t have the face to meet people anymore, right?��


    After the matter, Gu Mao naturally investigated Ye Yuan.


    Some things were not very secretive, with Gu Mao��s status in the imperial city, it was naturally very easy to find out.


    There were several renown heavenly alchemists present who guffawed loudly when they heard that.


    ��Heavenly medicine affinity doesn��t even reach one point? Huhu, is this someone abandoned by heaven?��


    ��The scariest isn��t the lack of talent, but the lack of self-awareness! His affinity doesn��t reach one point, and he also wants to become a heavenly alchemist?��


    ��What a joke, what on earth has he been doing these 18 years?��


    �� ��


    One point affinity was simply a joke.


    Wanting to become a heavenly alchemist with one point affinity was naturally a joke among jokes.


    These people present could not resist mocking even if they did not want to!


    ��Second Prince also smiled and said, ��Oh? Rather interesting. Tang Yu, this prince wants to meet this big brother of yours. Can I?��


    ��This �� Alright!�� Tang Yu toughened his scalp and said.


    Now that it came to this, he had no choice either.


    He glared at Gu Mao, but the latter had a calm smile and did not care.


    �� ��


    ��Xiao Qi, is Big Brother still in closed-seclusion?�� When Tang Yu arrived at Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion venue, he asked the servant serving Ye Yuan.


    Xiao Qi nodded and said, ��Yes, Young Master. Yesterday, I just delivered 1000 stalks of Purple Compact Incense to His Excellency.��


    Tang Yu nodded his head and said, ��Oh, eh? Isn��t it Dragonbone Grass? Why did it change to Purple Compact Incense?��


    Xiao Qi shook her head and said, ��Don��t know, His Excellency ordered Xiao Qi, so Xiao Qi complied.��


    Tang Yu��s eyes flashed and he said, ��Could it be that Big Brother succeeded?��


    But very soon, he shook his head again and said with a bitter smile, ��How is that possible? Most likely, Big Brother feels that extracting the Dragonbone Grass is hopeless, so he switched heavenly medicines to practice. May as well, after he knows that this is impossible, he should give up.��


    Xiao Qi��s gaze flickered and she said, ��Young Master, although Dragonbone Grass is the most ordinary spirit medicine, accumulating over so many years, it��s almost comparable to a shop already! If there��s any effect, that��s fine. But, giving someone whose affinity doesn��t even reach one point, it��s purely a waste!��


    When Tang Yu heard that, his gaze suddenly became fierce and he said, ��Shut up! This kind of thing isn��t what you should butt into! If there��s a next time, end your own life! Scram!��


    Xiao Qi was frightened by Tang Yu until she shuddered and scampered away.


    How could she know that Tang Yu was afraid of Ye Yuan to the extreme?


    If these words were heard by Ye Yuan, the Tang Family might suffer a catastrophic calamity!


    Tang Yu arrived outside the door and said respectfully, ��Big Brother, I��m Tang Yu!��


    ��What is it?�� After a moment of silence, a voice came from inside.


    Tang Yu did not dare to hide it, recounting the matter of Second Prince wanting to meet Ye Yuan.


    Before long, the door opened.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tang Yu and said coolly, ��Let��s go!��


    When Tang Yu saw that Ye Yuan did not get angry and was still willing to go and see Second Prince, only then did he let out a long sigh in relief.


    Otherwise, he would not know what he should do.


    How could he know that Ye Yuan was also feeling emotional in his heart?


    What was coming, would ultimately come.


    Around 18 years had passed. Jadetrue Heavenly Sect still found Inklight Forest in the end.


    It was just that he also had no clue how to resolve this matter. He could only take it one step at a time.


    His current strength was too weak!


    After the two left, Xiao Qi came to the closed-seclusion area to clean up.


    ��Someone who doesn��t know his limits, humph! In 18 years, how many Dragonbone Grass has been wasted? Clearly only has one point affinity, still want to become a heavenly alchemist?��


    She had a stomach full of resentment, entering the closed-seclusion area while cursing away.


    What entered her eyes were one dish after another of Dragonbone Grass that had been extracted and placed extremely neatly.


    Casually picking up a dish, she said disdainfully, ��Just this black thing is also called refinement? Even if I, Xiao Qi, take action, it��s also a hundred times stronger than this!��


    The Tang Family operated the heavenly medicine business, everyone from top to bottom knew a little.


    Although Xiao Qi was a servant, refining Dragonbone Grass this sort of thing could not stump her.


    After all, this was just an entry-level heavenly medicine.


    Continuing to enter the room, the disdain on Xiao Qi��s face gradually became solemn, and finally turned into shock!


    ��T-T-These, are all Dragonbone Grass? How is this possible?��


    �� ��


    Seeing Tang Yu bring Ye Yuan in, Gu Mao��s face could not help revealing a smile.


    ��Yoo, our one point heavenly alchemist came? How��s the refinement of Dragonbone Grass? This old man has been waiting many years for you to slap my face! Why don��t you slap this old man��s face today in front of Second Prince, His Highness?�� Gu Mao said with a smile.


    These words naturally attracted a series of guffaws.


    ��You��re that brat who doesn��t even reach one point affinity? Tsk tsk, a one point heavenly alchemist, this is going to startle the 33 Heavens!��


    ��Hahaha, the history of these 33 Heavens is likely going to be rewritten today!��


    ��Kid, quickly demonstrate your skill, I can��t wait anymore!��


    �� ��

 Chapter 2536 - Another Window!

    Walking into the meeting hall, ridiculing voices flooded into Ye Yuan��s ears like tidewater.


    Compared to Jun Tian��s matter, everyone is clearly more interested in this one point affinity ��heavenly alchemist.��


    Everyone knew that Gu Mao��s conjecture was merely a theoretical possibility.


    For a Lower Realms ant who just ascended to want to kill Jun Tian, this grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven, the likelihood was negligible.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan this ascender completely had no connections with Jun Tian.


    The Inklight Forest was so big. Even if they were ran into each other, it would also be Ye Yuan who dies, and not Jun Tian.


    ��B-Big Brother, this is Second Prince, His Highness!�� Tang Yu diverted the topic carefully.


    He did not feel that Ye Yuan could really extract the Dragonbone Grass.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered to pay attention either and said to Second Prince neither obsequiously nor haughtily, ��I pay respects to Second Prince, Your Highness!��


    Second Prince nodded his head slightly and said, ��You��re Ye Yuan? I heard that there��s a wager between you and Master Gu?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Precisely so!��


    Second Prince smiled and said, ��It��s already been 18 years. I wonder how Brother Ye��s refinement technique has been trained until?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Just so-so.��


    The moment these words came out, it attracted another wave of loud laughter.


    ��A one point��s so-so, wonder what it��s like?��


    ��Can��t do it means can��t do it, still puffing his face up at his own cost!��


    ��Brother Gu, you got to be more careful! When a one pointer becomes fierce, you might not be a match!��


    �� ��


    Second Prince also could not help but smile when he heard that. This ascender was rather interesting.


    Ye Yuan was like a clown in his heart.


    Clearly did not have strength, but wanted to pretend to be capable here.


    The world was laughing at him, but he found joy in it and was indifferent.


    This kind of person was really funny.


    ��Huhu, since you��ve already trained until so-so, this wager has already dragged on for 18 years. Why not this prince bear witness for you guys and complete this wager? How about it?�� Second Prince said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan valued each word like gold, saying indifferently, ��Can.��


    Everyone roared with laughter again.


    Gu Mao smiled and said, ��Brat, this old man has waited 18 years for you. Each time I came to find you, they always say that you were in closed-seclusion! Huhu, this old man wants to see today, just how formidable a one point heavenly alchemist is!��


    Ye Yuan sized him up with a glance and said, ��No wonder you��re so high-spirited. Looks like you should have obtained a treasure that can suppress the fire poison in your body.��


    Gu Mao was still roaring with laughter a moment ago, but now, his expression changed.


    He was seen through again!


    A few years ago, he obtained a treasure called Iceheart Jade. Although it could not purge the fire poison thoroughly, it could suppress it temporarily.


    Therefore, these few years, his courage bolstered again.


    Seeing Gu Mao��s laughter abruptly cease, how could everyone present not know that Ye Yuan hit the mark?


    Only then did they know that turns out Gu Mao was actually already plagued by fire poison!


    This surprised them greatly. It seemed like this boy was also not utterly useless.


    Tang Yu was secretly shocked. No wonder Gu Mao was so enthusiastic today, turns out that he had a reliance!


    Originally, the Tang Family��s greatest card was this. But Gu Mao having who obtained the treasure was no longer afraid of the Tang Family.


    Gu Mao��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��Humph! So what if yes? Right now, this old man already doesn��t fear the fire poison. You still want to use this to threaten me?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It��s useless! Your treasure can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The more you suppress, the greater the power of the eruption in the future! Unless, you don��t touch Dao fires in the future.��


    Gu Mao snorted coldly and said, ��Stop exaggerating things to raise an alarm! You��d best think about how to clear this hurdle today!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said coolly, ��Do it now then.��


    Gu Mao was taken aback, not expecting Ye Yuan to be so straightforward. He said with a cold snort, ��Putting on an appearance! Since that��s the case, you watch carefully!��


    The Dragonbone Grass was long already prepared. Gu Mao rolled his sleeves. The Dao fire in his palm directly ignited.


    After a bout of garish tempering, the crystal clear paste of Dragonbone Grass appeared before everyone.


    This act naturally attracted a series of shouts filled with amazement.


    Even Second Prince also nodded his head slightly and said, ��Master Gu��s skill is becoming more and more refined! I��m afraid that apart from Master Lin, there are few in this Eastward Country who��s Master Gu��s match anymore.��


    Master Lin that Second Prince spoke of was the royal family��s retainer, Eastward Country��s one and only grade two heavenly alchemist.


    These words were flattering.


    Gu Mao was naturally beside himself with joy and said respectfully, ��Your Highness is too kind! My trivial technique, I dare not show off! However, apart from Master Lin, there��s someone that this Gu also doesn��t dare to say that I can win for sure! After all, one point is too scary!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Another burst of laughter.


    Second Prince smiled at Ye Yuan and said, ��Brother Ye, Master Gu already did one refinement. The rest is up to you! Why don��t you let us take a look at the fruits of your 18 years of hard work?!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and similarly rolled his sleeves up, the Dragonbone Grass coming directly into his palm.


    He slowly closed his eyes, carefully feeling the undulations coming from the Dragonbone Grass.


    A cluster of Dao fire bloomed faintly.


    When Gu Mao saw the situation, his pupils could not help shrinking.


    ��This boy��s fire controlling technique improved significantly again!�� Gu Mao said in shock.


    Originally, Ye Yuan��s fire controlling technique already reached the acme of perfection, akin to performing an art.


    But today, 18 years later, Ye Yuan��s fire controlling technique actually reached a new level again!


    If it reached the acme of perfection 18 years ago, then now, it was returning to one��s original simplicity!


    No dazzling flaunting of skill, only a simple and unadorned return!


    When the rest saw this scene, they were similarly incomparably shocked.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually a practitioner!


    However, the affinity fluctuation emanating from Ye Yuan��s body made them come to their senses very quickly.


    ��Heh, no matter how good the fire controlling technique is, it��s useless too! Without affinity, the door to become a heavenly alchemist will forever be closed!��


    ��Indeed a really weak affinity! I completely can��t feel the undulations!��


    ��Huhu, he��s clearly refining the Dragonbone Grass, but why do I feel like it��s in two different worlds?��


    �� ��


    Same as 18 years ago, Ye Yuan still did not have any undulation of affinity.


    Second Prince��s gaze revealed a trace of fascination. Ye Yuan��s fire controlling technique had amazed him.


    But very soon, he shook his head secretly, clearly feeling quite regretful.


    Such a good fire controlling technique was wasted!


    Ye Yuan naturally did not care about these people��s mocking. He was already completely immersed in his own world.


    There was a good saying, if heaven closed a door for you, it would definitely open a window for you!


    In these 18 years, Ye Yuan only did one thing, which was opening this window!


    During these 18 years, refining day and night, day in and day out of repetitions, fumbling year after year.


    He trained his instinct to the limit!


    It was still a region of chaos in front of him.


    But he had the keenest instinct toward Alchemy Dao!


    The Dragonbone Grass in front of him melted little by little, turning into a paste.


    The paste of Dragonbone Grass became more and more crystal clear!


    The entire hall gradually fell into a dead silence.


    The original ridiculing voices had long already disappeared. What replaced it was shocked expressions!

 Chapter 2537 - One Point Heavenly Alchemist!

    The Dao fire gradually ceased. There was dead silence in the hall.


    In Ye Yuan��s palm, a ball of almost transparent paste of Dragonbone Grass stunned everyone.


    The more it was crystal clear, the less impurities there were.


    When these two balls of Dragonbone Grass were put together, there already did not need anyone to judge them.


    It was also precisely because of this that these people were deeply shocked.


    ��A-Are my eyes failing me? He �� Is he really one point affinity?��


    ��Yeah! With one point affinity, how did he do it? Did he break the barrier of heavenly alchemist?��


    ��This ball of Dragonbone Grass is pure to the extreme. I��m afraid that even if Master Lin takes action, he might not be able to win too!��


    �� ��


    Tang Yu was utterly dumbfounded by the side.


    This move was seriously too stunning!


    One point was a kind of humiliation among heavenly alchemists.


    But Ye Yuan let it shine with dazzling light!


    Ye Yuan really did it!


    He rewrote history!


    What on earth had he done in the past 18 years?


    Second Prince originally came to witness this wager with a playful mentality.


    But now, he was shocked by Ye Yuan until he could not speak.


    His perception would not be wrong. Ye Yuan��s affinity absolutely did not exceed three points!


    But he really did it!


    Only now did he understand that Ye Yuan did not live in his world at all.


    He could really ignore Gu Mao��s provocation!


    A person with one point affinity just refined the Dragonbone Grass.


    This was a miracle!


    ��H-Huhu, Master Ye��s means really broadened this prince��s horizons! I didn��t expect that Master Ye could actually extract the Dragonbone Grass with one point affinity. This is truly unprecedented and unrepeatable!�� Second Prince laughed dryly, resolving the awkwardness from before.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Like this, there��s no need to judge anymore?��


    Second Prince waved his hand repeatedly and said, ��No need to judge, no need to judge! This wager, it��s naturally Master Ye who won! It��s just that, this prince is very curious. Master Ye��s affinity is clearly extremely poor. So how can you extract this Dragonbone Grass? Could it be that Master Ye has some secret method?��


    The moment he said this, the bystanders immediately perked their ears up.


    This secret method was definitely an earth-shaking secret method!


    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��No secret method! Reading a book a hundred times, the meaning naturally becomes clear. In these 18 years, I extracted hundreds of thousands of Dragonbone Grass and just trained it into instinct, that��s it.��


    ��H-Hundreds of thousands of Dragonbone Grass! My god, is he crazy?��


    ��In 18 years, he only did this one thing? This amount, could it be that he never rested?��


    ��Lunatic! Really a mad man! However, even if he extracted the Dragonbone Grass, it��s also impossible to become a heavenly alchemist! The Dragonbone Grass is just the most basic homework!��


    ��This guy is a monomaniac! In order to win the bet, he pushed himself into a lunatic! But, it��s useless! Some heavenly medicines are a thousand times, ten thousand times more complicated than the Dragonbone Grass! He can��t possibly practice each type like this!��


    �� ��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, everyone could not help drawing a cold breath.


    The Dragonbone Grass that Ye Yuan extracted in these 18 years was probably comparable to the sum of the Dragonbone Grass that they refined in 1800 years.


    This kind of crazed and dreariness, they felt despair just thinking about it.


    Alchemy was a very interesting cultivation, but also a kind of very boring cultivation.


    Life needed regulating, people who refined pills needed it even more.


    But Ye Yuan was completely a lunatic.


    When Gu Mao heard Ye Yuan��s words, he also sneered and said, ��So what if you won this match? Heh, other heavenly medicines are much more complicated than the Dragonbone Grass, and refining a heavenly pill is countless times more complicated! You��ll need to spend several thousand, even several tens of thousands of years to learn one type of heavenly pill! This is still the simplest heavenly pill! Heh heh, trash will always be trash!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Gu Mao and said coolly, ��I think that you are thinking too much! Some things, as long as you find the trick, you can naturally draw parallels from inference. That��s right. My affinity is indeed very poor, but I��ve already learned the trick now! Just like a mortal blind person, one��s sense of hearing tends to be very keen. As long as they keep on training, they will be able to master the ability to determine positions by listening to the wind. Extracting other heavenly medicines, I��m indeed much worse than you all innately. But, it doesn��t mean that I can��t become a heavenly alchemist!��


    Finished talking, he held his palm out, and there was a stalk of Purple Compact Incense in his hand.


    It was only to see flame dance in his hand again. The Purple Compact Incense gradually melted, finally similarly turning into a paste.


    The paste of Purple Compact IncensePurple Compact Incense showed a purple-blackish color. It was clearly not too pure.


    But, compared to when Ye Yuan first refined the Dragonbone Grass, it was God knows how many times better!


    Seeing this scene, Gu Mao��s eyes went wide.


    The Purple Compact Incense��s extraction was much harder compared to the Dragonbone Grass. Logically speaking, if Ye Yuan wanted to extract it, he would need to spend another 20 years or even 30 years at least.


    But, this Purple Compact Incense that Ye Yuan extracted now could already compare to the average apprentice.


    At most three years, he would be able to reach the level of the Dragonbone Grass!


    Calculating this way, wouldn��t Ye Yuan really have hopes of becoming a heavenly alchemist?


    It was a little slow, but so what?


    As long as one could refine a heavenly pill, that would do!


    One point affinity heavenly alchemist?


    Everyone exchanged glances, instantly falling into deep shock.


    If this incident were to spread, it would absolutely be a major event that would cause a great sensation in the entire alchemy world!


    Heavenly alchemist, even 29 points affinity would not cut it.


    This was an iron law! No one had ever been able to break it!


    But now, a one point heavenly alchemist actually appeared!


    How could this not be shocking?


    Second Prince also said in shock, ��W-What kind of path can let a one point affinity become a heavenly alchemist?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Instinct! When pill refinement becomes your instinct, even amidst chaos, you can still discern the direction! These 18 years, I was training this instinct! Actually, I could already reach Gu Mao��s standard a few years ago. But my instinct wasn��t strong enough yet! Even now, I��m still not very satisfied. Maybe one day in the future, I��ll be able to rely on instinct to differentiate heavenly medicines very easily!��


    Everyone opened their mouths wide with shock on their faces.


    When pill refinement becomes an instinct!


    What was instinct?


    That was people��s natural ability!


    Such as when you saw something sharp, you would instinctively avoid it.


    Such as when you saw beautiful things, you would instinctively want to possess them.


    Such as when you lose friends and relatives, you would instinctively be overwhelmed to the extent that you wished you were dead.


    But they had never heard of someone who could treat pill refinement as an instinct!


    This was using instinct to go and sense the impurities and essence in a heavenly medicine.


    Each one must be differentiated clearly. How terrifying an instinct did this require?!


    Just thinking about it was scary!


    Ye Yuan did not have affinity, so he used instinct to be his eyes, to ��see�� the chaos in the heavenly medicine.


    He did it!


    The Dragonbone Grass already explained everything!


    Suddenly, the heavenly alchemists present all felt ashamed of their unworthiness!


    In the face of Ye Yuan��s persistence, they were not fit to be called heavenly alchemists at all!


    Because they could not do it instinctively!

 Chapter 2538 - : Tang Yu’s Choice!

    ��Y-You��re really a freak!�� Gu Mao said with a black face.


    What else could he say to a guy like Ye Yuan who shattered understanding?


    Instinct, this word, was simple to say. But doing it was harder than ascending to heaven!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had so many ascenders every day. But they had never heard of anyone who could cultivate pill refinement into instinct!


    But Ye Yuan broke the curse of affinity!


    Ye Yuan did not have much self-awareness. This was just a matter-of-course thing to him.


    His persistence toward Alchemy Dao, only he himself knew.


    He had created too many miracles on the path of alchemy!


    No affinity, so what?


    As long as he was still alive, no one could stop him from refining pills!


    Heaven could not too!


    ��Since Second Prince has borne witness, one must be willing to lose if they bet!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The corners of Gu Mao��s mouth twitched, very reluctant.


    Each alchemist had their own knack in certain areas, he was naturally unwilling to share it with others.


    But at this time, Second Prince suddenly said, ��Alchemy Dao legacies aren��t short work. Master Ye, this prince still has something to ask you.��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a cold smile, ��You ask and I have to answer?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed suddenly.


    Too arrogant!


    Who he was facing was Second Prince, His Highness!


    Actually, not that Ye Yuan was arrogant, but that he discerned that this clearly had the intention of speaking in support!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew what Second Prince was going to ask, so he could not be bothered to elaborate even more.


    ��Ye Yuan! W-What have I, Tang Yu, done wrong, for you to harm my Tang Family like this!�� Tang Yu��s expression changed abruptly as he said.


    While the others revealed gloating smiles after being shocked.


    Especially Gu Mao, he did not expect that Ye Yuan was so rash, to actually refute Second Prince, His Highness, to his face!


    Ye Yuan gave Tang Yu a glance, and he said with a nonchalant smile, ��In that case, your Tang Family is going to help Gu Mao?��


    Tang Yu��s entire body trembled, his face revealing a look of struggle.


    He was a clever man. How could he not discern the current situation?


    Just now, with Second Prince opening his mouth, it was clearly showing partiality for Gu Mao.


    Although the talent that Ye Yuan exhibited was amazing, wanting to truly become a heavenly alchemist, no idea how long it would still have to take.


    Furthermore, becoming a heavenly alchemist was one thing, reaching Gu Mao��s realm was another.


    A ready-made master and a guy with an unknown background.


    Furthermore, Second Prince was currently still relying on Gu Mao a lot.


    Weighing which was more important, Second Prince was naturally clear in his heart.


    At this time, Second Prince��s gaze also turned cold and he said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, in this Eastward Country, it��s still the first time that someone dares to contradict this prince defiantly! Very good! Tang Jinhua, is your Tang Family choosing this prince, or are you breaking away from this prince?��


    Tang Jinhua��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He realized that the moment to decide the Tang Family��s fate had arrived.


    Logically speaking, he should stand on the Second Prince��s side without the slightest hesitation at this time.


    After all, behind the Second Prince was the royal family.


    For the Tang Family to be able to have today, it was also because they served the Second Prince.


    But Tang Jinhua saw Tang Yu hesitate!


    When Second Prince saw that this father and son pair actually remained silent, he sneered and said, ��Looks like in your Tang Family��s eyes, this prince isn��t even as good as this ascender! Forget it ����


    Tang Jinhua��s expression changed wildly, and he could not care about Tang Yu��s attitude and was about to make known his position.


    He hurriedly said, ��Second Prince, Your Highness, our Tang Family ����


    ��Gu Mao! One must be willing to lose if they bet! Are you going to go back on your word?�� Suddenly, Tang Yu opened his mouth and forcibly interrupted Tang Jinhua who was clarifying where he stood.


    When the words came out, everyone was shocked!


    Each and every one of the family heads and heavenly alchemists present was all dumbfounded.


    This was a choice that completely did not require brainpower, but Tang Yu made the opposite decision!


    Was Tang Yu��s brain broken?


    Even Second Prince was also dumbfounded.


    Earlier, Tang Jinhua had clearly already made up his mind to stand on his side.


    But in a blink, it was actually changed by Tang Yu!


    While Ye Yuan smiled, thinking to himself that this Tang Yu was indeed a clever man.


    Second Prince had the ability to destroy the Tang Family. He, Ye Yuan, also had it


    Tang Yu��s gaze gradually became cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Gu Mao, this young master is talking to you. Didn��t you hear it? Either concede defeat, or you��re going out lying down today!��


    Second Prince shot to his feet, gaze fixed on Tang Yu and he said with a cold smile, ��Good! Very good! Tang Yu, looks like this prince underestimated you! The Tang Family, this dog, is actually going to bite its master today? But don��t you forget! This prince can support you all, but this prince can also destroy you all!��


    The corners of Tang Yu��s mouth twitched slightly, but he still said boldly, ��Second Prince, you also know that our Tang Family is a dog! How much have we done for you in secret over the years? To really talk about it, what we paid was far more than what we obtained!��


    These words were said by Tang Yu from the bottom of his heart.


    In Second Prince��s eyes, the Tang Family was merely a dog at his beck and call.


    If the dog was hungry, he would reward a bone to eat.


    But, the things that the Tang Family had done for Second Prince had indeed been countless!


    Moreover, the heavenly crystals that the Tang Family��s business earned, more than half of it was paid to Second Prince in tribute.


    Second Prince laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� very good! Master Gu will be protected by this prince today! This prince wants to see what right your Tang Family has to have him concede defeat! Zhao Yu, Jiang Zhu, you guys go and give it a try, whether this ��Big Brother�� is really as powerful as in the legends or not!��


    Behind Second Prince, two guards with powerful auras immediately stepped forward.


    Tang Jinhua��s expression changed and he hurriedly said, ��Second Prince, Your Highness, my young son he �� he doesn��t know any better! Your Highness please pardon his offense!��


    Second Prince sneered and said, ��Too late! Is this prince��s place where you can come and go as you please? Your Tang Family shall completely disappear from the imperial city after tonight!��


    Tang Jinhua had a look of despair and glared at Tang Yu.


    He did not know why his son wanted to make such a decision!


    Zhao Yu two people arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��This ��Big Brother��, don��t disappoint us too much!��


    Jiang Zhu smiled and said, ��In this imperial city, when is it lower Lesser Sublime Heavens�� turn to be arrogant? Brat, to dare rebut Second Prince, His Highness, you��re really tired of living!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyebrows raised slightly and he said coolly, ��The two of you really have a lot of crap!��


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s aura suddenly erupted.


    The pupils of the people present suddenly shrunk!


    Ye Yuan��s aura actually surpassed lower Lesser Sublime Heaven in one fell swoop, and reached middle Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    This guy actually concealed his strength!


    ��Dual Polarity Sword Formation!��


    In an instant, the sword formation burst out, flying straight for Zhao Yu and Jiang Zhu two people.


    Zhao Yu and Jiang Zhu were both royal guards and had experienced many battles.


    Let alone that they were both upper Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses!


    Facing this strike, they naturally did not panic in the face of danger.


    Although Ye Yuan concealed his strength, they did not take him seriously.


    The two people��s auras erupted, instantly suppressing Ye Yuan.


    Iron Bone Astral Fist!


    Tyrant Heart Slaughter Palm!


    The two people executed a move each, carrying an astonishing imposing momentum and pouncing towards Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    A fierce confrontation smashed the meeting hall into pieces.


    Zhao Yu and Jiang Zhu two people��s figures flew out backward involuntarily, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood wildly.

 Chapter 2539 - Another Wager!

    Ye Yuan looked at the two people coldly and said coolly, ��I, this ��Big Brother��, didn��t let you guys down, right?��


    Zhao Yu two people had horrified looks on their faces. How could they still dare to talk back?


    Second Prince��s complexion even turned pale. He never could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually so strong!


    Zhao Yu and Jiang Zhu two people were both elites in the royal family. Their strength, even ordinary upper Lesser Sublime Heavens were not a match either.


    But Ye Yuan actually put them down with one move!


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about Second Prince, but he looked toward Gu Mao and said coolly, ��Are you going to make me mutilate you and take it myself? Or are you offering it up on your own?��


    The corners of Gu Mao��s mouth twitched slightly, his face revealing a look of fear.


    He was an upper Lesser Sublime Heaven too, his combat strength could not even compare to Zhao Yu two people, how could he possibly be Ye Yuan��s match?


    ��I �� I��ll hand it over!��


    Gu Mao fished out several jade slips unwillingly, those were all the essences of his Alchemy Dao!


    Hanging it over to Ye Yuan, he felt his flesh ache.


    Ye Yuan inspected the jade slips and said with a cold smile, ��Just these? If I didn��t guess wrongly, these are all very ordinary pill formulas, right? As a heavenly alchemist who is renowned in the imperial city, you only have this bit of secret stash? Looks like you��re not very honest!��


    Who was Ye Yuan?


    The Heavenspan World��s alchemy path was single handedly created by him!


    Although he did not know much about heavenly pills, he still had good judgment.


    Gu Mao was very clever, taking out some obscure pill formulas.


    But these pill formulas were all some inconsequential pill formulas.


    Wanting to use these to smoke his way through in front of Ye Yuan was easier said than done.


    The corners of Gu Mao��s mouth twitched slightly, only then did he take out a few more pieces of jade slips extremely unwillingly.


    Only after Ye Yuan inspected it, did he nod his head slightly.


    ��These few pill formulas, you can��t refine them either. So what��s the use of cherishing your own belonging that��s of little value?�� Ye Yuan swept a glance at Gu Mao and said coolly.


    Gu Mao��s face turned black, and he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    One of the pill formulas was called Jasper Regeneration Pill. It was precisely the heavenly pill to regrow severed limbs!


    If Gu Mao could refine it, Tang Yu would have long begged him for it.


    Clearly, this guy could not refine it at all.


    ��I can��t refine. Could it be that you can refine it? These few pill formulas�� refining difficulty is extremely high. Master Lin might not be able to refine them too. So just the likes of you can do it?�� Gu Mao said with a sneer.


    Ye Yuan ignored him. He turned to Second Prince and said smilingly, ��Second Prince, Your Highness, I know that you won��t be willing to drop the matter, but I advise you, better drop this idea.��


    Second Prince��s face revealed a fearful look, but he smiled coldly and said, ��You��re threatening this prince? If you have the capability, kill this prince! As long as you don��t dare to kill this prince, after returning to the palace, it will be the end of you and the Tang Family!��


    When Tang Jinhua father and son heard that, their expressions changed.


    But Ye Yuan was not concerned and said with a smile, ��Second Prince, Your Highness, why don��t we make a bet too?��


    Second Prince had a look of disdain and he said with a cold smile, ��On what basis should this prince bet with you?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Not betting is fine too, then you��ll die right now!��


    Second Prince laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� Bring it on! Come and kill me!��


    Boom!


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s terrifying aura bloomed again.


    Dual Polarity turned into a light wheel, cleaving straight for Second Prince.


    At first, Second Prince still did not believe that Ye Yuan dared to kill him.


    But that light wheel did not slow down in the least bit, heading straight for his face.


    An aura of death hit him head-on!


    He finally knew that Ye Yuan was not joking!


    ��I��ll bet!�� Second Prince practically yelled these two words out.


    The light wheel dissipated with a loud bang as if nothing had happened.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��The Tang Family is your dog. But isn��t your royal family a dog of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect too? Therefore, don��t think that you��re very noble. In this world, there are always some people who can think nothing of you.��


    Second Prince��s back was already drenched in sweat.


    Having made a trip to the gates of hell and back, he had long already lost his previous composure.


    ��W-What do you want to bet on?�� Second Prince asked.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��ll let you return. You don��t be in a hurry to deal with the Tang Family first. Tonight, I��ll make a trip to the royal palace and meet with you. You can use all sorts of methods to stop me from meeting you! If I can��t meet you, the Tang Family will be at your disposal. But, if I meet you, you don��t need you to do anything either. Just deliver the heavenly medicine for the Jasper Regeneration Pill tomorrow. It��s that simple.��


    Second Prince��s pupils constricted, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re trying to tell me that as long as you want to kill this prince, it wouldn��t work even if this prince hides in the palace?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Smart, that��s what it means.��


    Everyone exchanged glances, shocked expressions on their faces.


    This Ye Yuan was a little too arrogant, right?


    He actually did not put the royal family in his eyes at all!


    What kind of place was the palace?


    That was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Eastward Country, and it was also the place with the most experts.


    Disregarding that the likes of Zhao Yu and Jiang Zhu were everywhere in the palace, there were also a whole bunch of them.


    As for grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses, there were naturally quite a few too.


    And in the palace, there were even Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan dared to provoke the royal family, this was simply a joke!


    Especially Gu Mao, he was gloating over others�� misfortune.


    This brat was courting death himself, could not blame others!


    �� ��


    That night, at Second Prince��s palace.


    An old man with white hair and beard sat in front of Second Prince.


    Second Prince gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Master Yun, you must help me this time! That boy doesn��t place this prince in his eyes at all, and even thinks nothing of the royal family! He actually said that he can come and go as he pleases in the royal palace!��


    This Master Yun was a retainer of the royal family called Lu Yun, a lower Greater Sublime Heaven super powerhouse!


    He was the initiation teacher of Second Prince, his strength being extremely powerful.


    After returning to the palace, Second Prince immediately went to find Lu Yun without saying anything.


    He had also once thought of directly finding Lu Yun to go kill Ye Yuan.


    But he did not dare!


    The feeling that Ye Yuan gave him was too strange.


    He did not dare to wager with his life!


    If Ye Yuan really had the ability to enter and leave the palace at will, then wouldn��t he be in danger all the time in the future?


    He was very certain that Ye Yuan really dared to kill him!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan really dared to release him!


    After much thought, Second Prince still decided to give it a try.


    As long as he discovered Ye Yuan, Second Prince reckon that he could not escape Master Yun��s palm either!


    Lu Yun smiled and said, ��Yu Tang, you��re becoming more and more overcautious and indecisive! Being so timid, how can you beat that big brother of yours?��


    Second Prince did not dare to talk back and said, ��Master Yun, this boy is indeed a little strange! I suspect that he might have something to do with that Jun Tian��s death too!��


    Lu Yun chuckled and said, ��Alright, don��t give this old man that! No matter how weak that Jun Tian was, he��s also Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect deacon! Although this old man is a cultivation realm higher than him, I really don��t have the confidence to dare say that I can definitely beat him. How can he die at the hands of an ascender? Tonight, I��ll be in the side room next door. If he dares to come, I��ll naturally make sure he doesn��t return!��


    The moment Second Prince heard this, he could not help being overjoyed.


    ��Thank you, Master Yun! It��s still Master Yun who dotes on Yu Tang!�� Second Prince said agitatedly.

 Chapter 2540 - : He . . . Already Came By!

    Late at night, it was silent in the palace. There were only the sounds of some patrolling footsteps and the chirping of insects and birds.


    But in reality, tonight��s Eternal Longevity Palace was loosely guarded outside, but heavily guarded inside.


    Outside Second Prince��s bedroom palace, there were several upper Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses patrolling back and forth.


    As for middle Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses, that went even more without saying.


    The entire Eternal Longevity Palace was virtually in a state of heightened nervousness!


    In the four corners of the bedroom palace, four grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouses were standing with sabers.


    Once there was any rustling of leaves in the wind, they would definitely rush forth and kill people right away!


    Of course, these were all not the important thing.


    Lu Yun who was in the side room was Second Prince��s greatest reliance!


    He did not believe that someone could appear under Master Yun��s eyelids!


    Tonight��s Second Prince was naturally sleepless the entire night.


    He sat on his bed just like that, gaze flickered indeterminately, also no idea what he was thinking about.


    ��Why don��t Your Highness rest earlier? Even Master Yun has taken action, that scoundrel definitely won��t dare to come!�� Second Prince��s personal eunuch could not refrain from persuading when he saw his extremely worried countenance.


    Second Prince was a little annoyed and waved his hand and said, ��You withdraw. Let me have some silence!��


    The eunuch was helpless and could only shake his head and leave.


    Second Prince looked outside the house, with a constant feeling of uneasiness.


    ��Damn it! Master Yun is clearly next door. What the hell am I scared of? Could it be that that brat can really access heaven and penetrate the earth?�� Second Prince gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    ��Not to the extent of accessing heaven and penetrating the earth, but entering the royal palace isn��t a difficult thing for me. Of course, killing you �� is even easier. Don��t move! Otherwise, you��re dead!��


    Right at this time, a voice seemed to come out of the deepest area, burrowing into his ears.


    Second Prince��s expression changed wildly and he was just about to get up, but immediately turned stiff there.


    All the hair on his body stood up.


    Who could this voice be if not Ye Yuan��s?


    A figure appeared, currently looking at him, smiling meaningfully.


    Who could this person be if not Ye Yuan?


    Second Prince��s heart shook wildly. He suddenly looked towards the four grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven guards in the house and discovered that they were actually completely oblivious!


    This �� How was this possible?


    It was not just these four people. Even Master Yun who was next door did not have any reaction either!


    There were already no words that could describe the shock in his heart at this time!


    Ye Yuan was clearly standing in front of them. Could it be that they were all blind?


    ��H-How did you come in?�� Second Prince said in horror.


    He wanted to speak up to attract the attention of others.


    However, there was still no reaction!


    How was this possible?


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��Of course I swaggered in just like that! Don��t count on them. They can��t see me, and they also can��t see you right now! Uh, also, that old man next door, I��ve met him too. But it seems like he didn��t notice me at all.��


    Shock!


    Fear!


    Disbelief!


    Second Prince also did not know what was his frame of mind now.


    All in all, his entire person was in a mess!


    This person was clearly standing in front of him, but the others treated him like he was air!


    Suddenly, his pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��S-Spatial rule!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s right. Spatial rule! This move is called void concealment. As long as I don��t actively release my aura, they won��t discover me! Also, you��re currently in the void concealment too. So they can��t hear our conversation. I advise that you don��t release your aura. Otherwise, you��ll be dead.��


    Second Prince was just thinking of taking the initiative to release his aura when he was throttled by Ye Yuan��s one sentence.


    He did not dare to move!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I came just to tell you how strong my spatial rule is! You can go and deal with the Tang Family and can also send someone to kill me. But you have to be prepared to die in the palace at any time!��


    Second Prince��s expression flickered indeterminately, Ye Yuan��s threat was like a blade pressed against his neck.


    This person was too dangerous!


    ��This matter, I hope that you don��t make it public too! Otherwise, I may very well do something. Oh, right, our bet should be that I won. Remember to send someone to deliver the heavenly medicines to the Tang Family tomorrow. Alright, I��m leaving. You can call someone now.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan��s figure gradually disappeared.


    The moment Ye Yuan left, Second Prince suddenly gasped heavily for air, only then, discovering that his back was already drenched.


    Just this short few breaths of time, the pressure that Ye Yuan put on him was too great!


    Only at this time did the four guards notice his peculiarity. They hurriedly ran over.


    ��What��s wrong with you, Second Prince?�� A guard supported him and asked.


    And at this moment, the door of the side-room was quickly pushed open and Lu Yun swept over like a gust of wind.


    He looked at Second Prince and asked with a frown, ��What��s wrong?��


    Second Prince gave Lu Yun a glance and said with a bitter smile, ��He �� already came by!��


    The expressions of Lu Yun and the four guards changed wildly, virtually saying in unison, ��Impossible!��


    A guard said, ��Nobody appeared within the bedroom palace at all. How can he possibly come in?��


    Lu Yun also said, ��Even if that brat can hide from everyone��s eyes and ears, it��s also impossible to hide from this old man!��


    Second Prince smiled bitterly and said, ��It��s �� spatial rule! He was standing here talking to me just now. When I spoke, you all couldn��t hear me at all, and you also couldn��t see him! Master Yun, he even said that he already strolled around in the side-room!��


    Lu Yun��s expression changed wildly, monstrous waves setting off in his heart.


    A middle Lesser Sublime Heaven sauntered about in front of him and he actually did not have any reaction?


    How was this possible?


    But it was impossible for Second Prince��s expression to hide from him.


    Furthermore, he also did not have the need to do this kind of lame thing.


    Could it be that that brat really came in before?


    ��Spatial rule! What kind of spatial rule can actually hide from this old man��s eyes and ears!�� Lu Yun��s heart burned with wrath.


    He had a feeling of being toyed by someone.


    There was actually someone who dared to make fun of him in this Eastward Country!


    ��Master Yun, this prince seems to have provoked an incredible fellow! Forget it, I concede! Tomorrow, I��ll bring the heavenly medicines and pay a visit in person to apologize for my offense!�� Second Prince said helplessly.


    Just now, he really felt that he had made a trip to the gates of hell and back.


    He could be said to have laid down an all-encompassing net in this Eternal Longevity Palace!


    Inside three layers and outside three layers were all guards!


    But Ye Yuan actually sneaked in front of him without a sound.


    This kind of thing was really too terrifying.


    Lu Yun��s gaze flickered indeterminately, and he said, ��Okay, I��ll accompany you tomorrow! This old man wants to see what kind of brat can actually be so unbridled in front of this old man!��


    �� ��


    Tang Family, the lights were bright.


    Tonight concerned the life and death of everyone in the Tang Family!


    In the study, came Tang Jinhua��s low and cold shouting.


    ��Tang Yu, you wicked son! Look what you��ve done! Tell me, why did you sink the Tang Family into fire and water?�� Tang Jinhua said in anger.


    He did not understand, his son was normally extremely clever.


    But why did he actually make such a big mistake in this matter!


    Tang Yu seemed very calm and said, ��Father, I don��t have assurance either, but, I can only gamble!��

 Chapter 2541 - I’m Shielding the Tang Family!

    ��You��re betting with the lives of everyone in the Tang Family! Furthermore, it��s a sure-lose situation! As an ascender, what capital does he have to dare fight with the entire royal family? Heh, maybe he already slipped away for good now!�� Tang Jinhua shouted angrily.


    This was a gamble without any chance of winning. He knew that Ye Yuan was strong, but Ye Yuan was too weak in front of the royal family!


    One had to know, just the royal family��s Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouses were plenty!


    A middle Lesser Sublime Heaven entering the palace at night and even wanted to meet Second Prince, wasn��t this a joke?


    This was probably just Ye Yuan��s excuse!


    Tang Yu shook his head and said, ��No! Ye Yuan isn��t this kind of person! When he came out of Inklight Forest, Yang Xuezhen just took him for a ride and he helped Yang Xuezhen clear all obstacles!��


    Tang Jinhua said with a cold smile, ��That��s because his strength was sufficient! But, you tell me, what does he have to contend with the royal family?


    Tang Yu fell silent!


    This father and son two people argued endlessly, neither able to convince the other.


    ��Who is it?!��


    Suddenly, Tang Yu shuddered and shot to his feet.


    Only at this time, did he suddenly realize that there was an extra person in the room!


    Focusing his eyes and looking, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��B-Big Brother? W-When did you come?�� Tang Yu said in surprise.


    ��Came for some time already,�� Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the shadows and said lightly.


    While Tang Jinhua��s entire body trembled, thinking to himself if his words earlier were all heard by Ye Yuan.


    How did this guy enter the room without a sound?


    If not for Ye Yuan taking the initiative to reveal his figure, the two of them would not have been able to discover him at all!


    Tang Yu��s expression was very ugly and he said, ��Big Brother, Father is concerned about the safety of the Tang Family and was a little harsh with his words. I �� I apologize on his behalf.��


    Actually, Tang Yu did not understand Ye Yuan.


    He only knew that Ye Yuan acted mercilessly.


    After all, the lesson learned from the Gui Family was right there.


    Therefore, he had more fear toward Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No need to apologize. I won��t do anything to the Tang Family. Alright, it��s getting late, rest early.��


    Finished speaking, Ye Yuan��s figure directly disappeared into the night.


    The father and son two people exchanged glances with horror on their faces.


    ��H-Has he left?�� Tang Jinhua said with ragged breathing.


    Tang Yu smiled bitterly as he shook his head and said, ��Should have left?��


    Tang Jinhua��s expression was ugly as he said, ��Then �� has he succeeded or not?��


    Tang Yu smiled bitterly again and said, ��I reckon that he came to find us to talk about this matter. But hearing the words earlier, he couldn��t be bothered to say anymore. It��s considered �� a warning to us.��


    ��How on earth did he come in just now? I actually didn��t detect it at all!��


    ��If even you can detect it, how can he have the courage to barge into the royal palace alone? You also know that Second Prince��s master is that person!��


    ��Hence, I feel that he definitely failed! He can hide from us, but can he also hide from Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses? Let alone that there are also so many experts in the palace!��


    Tang Yu��s expression flickered slightly. To be honest, he did not have any confidence himself.


    In the end, he could only let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it, it��s also useless to think so much. Wait for tomorrow!��


    �� ��


    The next day, before the morning sun rose, a sedan chair already stopped at the entrance of the Tang Manor.


    After receiving the report, Tang Jinhua and Tang Yu both got a big shock and hurriedly went out to welcome.


    ��Tang Jinhua (Tang Yu), pays respect to Second Prince, Your Highness, and Master Yun!�� The two directly gave a big bow as they said.


    Second Prince��s expression was rather tired. Clearly, his frame of mind was not very good.


    But, seeing the two people bow, he had a stomach full of anger that had nowhere to vent and could only say, ��Get up, go in and talk! Uh �� Master Yun wants to meet Ye Yuan!��


    Tang Yu hurriedly said, ��Yes, I��ll go and invite Big Brother right away!��


    Finished saying, Tang Jinhua led the two into the study, while Tang Yu went straight to Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion venue.


    The moment Second Prince took his seat, he directly opened his mouth and said, ��Last night, Ye Yuan and I have met!��


    Although he already guessed in his heart, when Tang Jinhua heard this sentence, he was still shocked speechless for a long while.


    ��This ��How is this possible? Could it be that �� Master Yun wasn��t in the palace last night?�� Tang Jinhua said in shock.


    Second Prince sneered and said, ��Are you playing the fool here despite understanding? Heh, your Tang Family really found a huge backer!��


    Tang Jinhua was frightened until he directly knelt down and said, ��Second Prince, please explain. This lowly one �� really doesn��t know!��


    Second Prince could not help feeling a little surprised when he saw Tang Jinhua��s appearance.


    It seemed like he really did not know.


    ��Forget it, forget it! Get up! Jasper Regeneration Pill��s heavenly medicines, I��ve already ordered people to deliver them! Coming today is primarily because Master Yun wants to meet this Ye Yuan!�� Second Prince said.


    Just as he was talking, Tang Yu entered, his expression not too good.


    Honestly speaking, he really did not want to offend Second Prince too badly.


    But now, it was not up to him anymore!


    ��Your Highness, Big Brother said, have �� have Master Yun go see him himself!�� Tang Yu said awkwardly.


    Making a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse go and see a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, what haughty airs!


    But he had no choice!


    Ye Yuan��s words, he did not dare to not listen.


    But he knew in his heart that since Second Prince came, it showed that Ye Yuan really succeeded yesterday!


    It was just that, he still felt that it was too incredulous thinking about it.


    The moment Second Prince heard, he almost stomped his foot.


    Rather, it was Lu Yun who was very calm. Holding Second Prince down, he said coolly, ��Lead the way!��


    Tang Yu heaved a sigh of relief and led Lu Yun to Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion venue.


    ��Big Brother!��


    ��Come in!��


    Tang Yu pushed the door and entered, Lu Yun followed inside.


    There was dim lighting in the house, it was not bright.


    ��Big Brother?�� After Tang Yu entered, he discovered that Ye Yuan was not there at all!


    Lu Yun��s brows furrowed slightly. Going one round around the room, he did not discover Ye Yuan��s traces.


    But the voice just now clearly came from inside the house!


    ��What a fine concealing art, looks like Yu Tang really didn��t lie! You wandered around in front of this old man and this old man actually didn��t even know!�� Lu Yun said to the air.


    But at this moment, on the seat not far away from Lu Yun, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared.


    When Tang Yu saw this scene, his eyes went wide.


    Only then was he absolutely sure that Lu Yun was really present at the place!


    But even he did not discover Ye Yuan!


    Furthermore, hearing Lu Yun��s words just now, Ye Yuan actually strolled around in front of him.


    But Lu Yun still did not react at all.


    This level of concealment technique was absolutely incredible!


    If Ye Yuan really wanted to kill Second Prince, no matter how many experts he had protecting him, it was in vain too!


    Seeing Ye Yuan reveal his figure, Lu Yun��s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, ��Excellent spatial rule! Boy, your application of spatial rule is already transcendent! No wonder you have such haughty airs!��


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��It��s not that I have haughty airs. I just want to tell you, I��m shielding the Tang Family! If Second Prince has any devious thoughts, he might be gone someday. Of course, if you��re not sensible, maybe one day �� you��ll be gone too!��

 Chapter 2542 - Painstaking Care and Thought!

    When Tang Yu heard this, his hair stood on end.


    He was really afraid that Lu Yun would smack the two of them to death in his rage.


    However, Lu Yun did not.


    He was not as angry as Tang Yu imagined, but very calm instead.


    ��Don��t you worry. With this old man around, no one can touch the Tang Family!�� Suddenly, Lu Yun said such a thing.


    Tang Yu opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief.


    This was Master Yun!


    Even His Majesty also had to show him some respect when he saw him!


    In this Eastward Country, if he stomped his foot, the entire country would have to tremble.


    Now, he actually compromised toward Ye Yuan!


    Furthermore, the meaning in these words was that he was actually even going to shield the Tang Family!


    Tang Yu somewhat doubted whether his own ears heard wrongly or not.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��What do you want to obtain?��


    Lu Yun shook his head and said, ��I don��t need anything. Just one thing, Second Prince will maintain a cooperative relationship with the Tang Family in the future!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Can!��


    Hearing Ye Yuan agree, Lu Yun��s expression eased up slightly and he said with a faint smile, ��Young Friend Ye, if you��re free in the future, you can go to the royal family to find this old man! This old man has once traveled around various countries and still know quite a bit about True Yang Heavenly Domain��s local customs and practices.��


    Ye Yuan��s eyebrows raised up, and he said with a smile, ��Elder Lu, rest assured. This Ye will go when I have time.��


    Lu Yun nodded slightly and left with a faint smile.


    Tang Yu��s mouth had never closed until now.


    He was dumbstruck with amazement by the contents of these two people��s conversation!


    The three people present were all extremely clever people.


    Lu Yun and Ye Yuan seemed to have only exchanged a few words, but had already crossed swords back and forth several times!


    Firstly, Lu Yun made known his position that no one could touch the Tang Family.


    The meaning of these words was that he, Lu Yun, would be the Tang Family��s protective cover in the future.


    Not Second Prince, it was Lu Yun!


    This concept was totally different!


    Second Prince��s status was high, but in front of the Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum Lu Yun, it was nothing!


    With him as a guarantor, even if His Majesty wanted to touch the Tang Family, he would also have to think thrice before acting.


    This was a huge bargaining chip!


    However, Ye Yuan asked Lu Yun what he wanted.


    Lu Yun did not want anything, just for the Tang Family to cooperate with Second Prince.


    It was cooperate!


    Not a vassal!


    Let alone a lackey!


    This sentence was equivalent to raising the Tang Family��s status to a position equal to that of Second Prince.


    Tang Yu was not stupid. He naturally understood that the Tang Family did not have this qualification.


    Then who?


    Ye Yuan!


    Actually, Lu Yun wanted to kidnap Ye Yuan onto Second Prince��s chariot to help Second Prince seize the throne.


    But Lu Yun understood that with Ye Yuan��s pride, it was absolutely impossible to agree.


    However, it did not matter if he did not agree.


    As long as the Tang Family was tied onto this chariot, would he still be afraid Ye Yuan would not take action at the critical moment?


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not a fool either, it was impossible to not be able to tell Lu Yun��s intentions.


    However, Ye Yuan still agreed.


    Only like this did Lu Yun set his mind at ease.


    In the end, he even invited Ye Yuan to the royal palace, which was tantamount to a discussion among peers.


    From start to end, Lu Yun was clinging onto Ye Yuan!


    Or should he say, he lowered his social status, wanting to find a good helper for Second Prince!


    ��B-Big Brother!�� Tang Yu already did not know what he should say.


    He only knew that he made the right bet!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I make clear distinctions between grievances and gratitude. This is what your Tang Family deserves.��


    Tang Yu knelt onto the ground with a thud and said to Ye Yuan with cupped fists, ��Big Brother, you��ll always be my, Tang Yu��s, big brother in the future!��


    Calling out ��Big Brother�� in the past was being forced by Ye Yuan.


    Later, it was in order to curry favor with Ye Yuan.


    But now, this ��Big Brother�� came from the bottom of his heart.


    From now on, not only did the Tang Family not decline, it was very likely to become one of the top major clans of the imperial city instead!


    �� ��


    ��Master Yun, why?�� On the way back, Second Prince could not resist asking.


    Lu Yun said coolly, ��Do you know why Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s native powerhouses reject ascenders?��


    Second Prince was taken aback and said with disdain, ��Why else? Lower Realms ants also dare to contend for glory with the bright moon! They don��t even have affinity, indicating that they are people who are abandoned by heaven. Couldn��t we despise them?��


    But Lu Yun smiled slightly and shook his head and said, ��What you said is the perception of most people. But I don��t think so! This old man feels that native powerhouses are jealous of ascenders, that��s all!��


    Second Prince was stunned again and could not help laughing as he said, ��Master Yun, you couldn��t have made a mistake, right? Us? Jealous of them? Just like that Ye Yuan, he cultivated bitterly for 18 years and only learned the extraction of one type of heavenly medicine with his intelligence. What��s there for us to be jealous of?��


    Lu Yun nodded and said, ��You��re right. They indeed don��t have our nature-endowed advantage. But it��s also precisely because of so that this is their greatest advantage! You only know that Five Light Heavenly Region survives between the crevices of the other heavenly regions. Then, have you thought before on what basis can a measly little Five Light Heavenly Region survive among the many native heavenly regions?��


    Second Prince was stunned again and again. He had really never thought about this problem from this angle before.


    Lu Yun gave him a glance and said, ��Because they are very strong!��


    Second Prince could not help laughing as he said, ��Strong? Master Yun, I admit that Ye Yuan is an exception! But the other ascenders are simply akin to ants!��


    Lower Realms shook his head and said, ��You��re wrong! The ascenders in your impression of being weak are just because they just ascended and haven��t adapted to a supreme world like Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. And this period is also the most vulnerable period for ascenders. However, once they pass this most difficult period, their strength will become very terrifying! Being able to reach Heavenly Stratum in the Lower Realms planes, which of these people don��t have countless bones and corpses under their feet? Their temperament, talent, they are all one in a million! As long as give them a chance, they will be able to soar to the sky with one leap!��


    ��Back then, when this old man traveled all over the various states and nations, I saw an itinerant cultivator ascender challenge five same rank powerhouses with the realm of middle Lesser Sublime Heaven, and killed three of the other party, and injured two in the end! This old even had seen before an upper Lesser Sublime Heaven ascender went head-on against a grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven native powerhouse, and he defeated him! This is just one of those that I��ve seen. The examples that I��ve heard are even more! Therefore, you should understand how terrifying the strength of ascenders who are able to reach Five Light Heavenly Region alive are, right?��


    The corners of Second Prince��s mouth twitched slightly, his eyes revealing shock.


    Clearly, these were things that he had never heard of before.


    Eastward Country was just content to exercise sovereignty over a part of the region; that was all. The things that he was able to come into contact with were too few.


    ��Master Yun��s meaning is that Ye Yuan has already tided over the most difficult period? That��s right! His strength is indeed very strong! He can even defeat upper Lesser Sublime Heavens!�� Second Prince recalled the scene of Ye Yuan defeating Zhao Yu two people and said with a solemn expression.


    However, Lu Yun shook his head and said, ��You��re wrong again! It��s not that Ye Yuan has tided over the most difficult period, but that he��s an extremely strong existence among ascenders too! Comprehending spatial rule isn��t scary. What��s scary is that he applied spatial rule to the transcendent realm! He��s a dragon among men. A tiny little Eastward Country can��t trap him! With his help, your chances of defeating that elder brother of yours will greatly increase!��


    Second Prince��s entire body trembled. Only then did he know of Lu Yun��s painstaking care and thought!

 Chapter 2543 - Great Sensation!

    ��Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How did things develop until like this!��


    In a courtyard in the imperial city, Gu Mao flew into a thunderous rage.


    The development of things completely exceeded his expectations!


    Originally, he was harboring the idea of watching a show, wanting to see how Ye Yuan and the Tang Family were destroyed.


    The next day, he went to the Tang Family to watch a good show. He discovered that not only was the Tang Family completely intact, but Tang Jinhua and Tang Yu were also in a never-before-seen state of being fired up with boundless enthusiasm, giving him a good scolding.


    In the end, they even chased him out of Whiteheart Hall!


    Gu Mao was dumbfounded at that time. Without him, the Tang Family would be equivalent to losing half the country!


    Back then, he let out a whole bunch of tough words, making it so that the Tang Family would not be able to survive in the imperial city.


    But who would have expected that on the same day, another famous alchemy path star of the imperial city, Jiang Yu, sat garrison in the Tang Family!


    Jiang Yu was only stronger and not weaker than him, Gu Mao, in the imperial city��s alchemy world.


    Furthermore, Jiang Yu also had a special identity. He was Second Prince��s personal heavenly alchemist!


    This weight was completely different!


    This action was also another signal that Second Prince released to the outside world. The Tang Family was his, Second Prince��s, ally. No one was allowed to touch them!


    The Tang Family��s prestige had no equal for some time.


    And Jiang Yu holding down the fort also let the Tang Family shake off Gu Mao��s influence thoroughly.


    Whether he left or stayed had no impact on the Tang Family at all!


    After a period of time, not only did the Tang Family not decline, it faintly showed signs of surpassing the other families instead.


    Gu Mao was depressed!


    A partner of Gu Mao��s completely abandoned him today, and he defected to the Tang Family��s arms.


    Only then did Gu Mao fly into a thunderous rage.


    Suddenly, his expression changed. His face flushed bright red.


    Gu Mao��s body started trembling violently.


    The fire poison erupted!


    He hurriedly mustered up the Iceheart Jade, attempting to suppress the fire poison.


    But this time, the fire poison��s eruption was extremely fierce, akin to a fierce beast that broke out of the cage. He was actually �� unable to suppress it anymore!


    Suddenly, he remembered Ye Yuan��s words.


    The harder you suppress, the fiercer the eruption in the future!


    The meridians within his body were suffering the ravaging of the fire poison, overwhelming to the extent where he wished that he was dead.


    ��Quick! Quickly help me to the Tang Family! Go to �� the Tang Family!�� Gu Mao shouted.


    His men carried him to the Tang Family, but Ye Yuan avoided seeing him. He just passed a sentence to him. ��People can be proud, but can��t be arrogant, especially incompetent arrogance! Some opportunity, once missed, they are gone. There won��t be a next time!��


    In the midst of despair, Gu Mao��s fire poison erupted. Not only was he no longer able to continue being a heavenly alchemist, but also his cultivation realm even fell greatly.


    The fire poison was much fiercer than he even anticipated.


    A heavenly alchemist of his generation fell here.


    In reality, Ye Yuan did not need to become a heavenly alchemist to save him at all.


    With Ye Yuan��s divine essence that was delicate until it made people��s hair stand on end, combing his meridians once and it would be able to completely get rid of the fire poison.


    It was just a pity that Gu Mao put on haughty airs time and again, and finally suffered the consequences.


    �� ��


    As for Ye Yuan, he went into closed-seclusion again after the storm.


    He had too much to do but too little time.


    He was desperately honing his instinct. He wanted to let his instinct replace affinity!


    But now, with Jiang Yu��s help, Ye Yuan had a direct understanding of the medicinal properties of all kinds of basic heavenly medicines.


    Training with a purpose, his improvement speed became even faster.


    Speaking of which, after Jiang Yu came to the Tang Family, he could not bear to leave anymore.


    He and Ye Yuan quickly became friends who talked about everything.


    Ye Yuan was thirsty for knowledge and had an immense desire to understand the medicinal properties of heavenly medicines.


    Therefore, he frequently asked Jiang Yu for advice.


    Before coming, Lu Yun instructed him to definitely build good relations with Ye Yuan.


    Whatever questions Ye Yuan had, he naturally said all that he knew.


    However, along with the passing of time, Jiang Yu went from having the initial dealing with him attitude to having admiration for Ye Yuan.


    From the initial-most unilateral asking for advice from Ye Yuan, it turned into intense discussions.


    Jiang Yu discovered that Ye Yuan had a penetrating view and an almost freakish instinct for alchemy!


    Although he did not know much about heavenly medicines, by relying on his alchemy ability that was engraved in his bones, he could often dispel Jiang Yu��s clouds and let him suddenly see the light with a few words.


    This way, Jiang Yu naturally behaved like he obtained a priceless treasure.


    As long as Ye Yuan was free, he immediately dragged Ye Yuan to discuss alchemy.


    Ye Yuan still did not know much about the refining system of heavenly pills and naturally would not refuse either.


    Back and forth like this, although Ye Yuan had not started refining heavenly pills yet, he already had confidence in his heart with regards to the refinement of heavenly pills.


    Both parties took what they needed.


    While on the other side, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s disciples led by Cheng Chongshan, exerted great pressure on the royal family.


    Emperor Eastward was also utterly exhausted from overwork because of this matter.


    Inklight Forest was too big, there was no way to investigate this matter at all.


    He already employed all of the royal family��s power. But in a blink, three years passed, and there were still no leads.


    Helpless, Emperor Eastward even gave their princess to Cheng Chongshan to be a concubine, and also gave many precious treasures to the other two. Only then did it settle the three people down.


    Actually, how could Cheng Chongshan not tell that Jun Tian��s death probably had nothing to do with the royal family.


    But they finally managed to come out. So they were not willing to return just like that too.


    The death of an outer-sect deacon was not considered a big deal to the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect persisting in finding the murderer was more for the sake of face.


    But this matter was akin to finding a needle in a haystack; not easy to investigate.


    Therefore, the three of them simply stayed in Eastward Country and tyrannically abused power, becoming overlords.


    Rather, it was the eldest prince who saw through the three people��s intentions and constantly tried his best to curry favor with them.


    This idea of sending the princess to be a concubine had been come up by him.


    Because he knew that these three people��s words would have a decisive effect on Father��s influence.


    Another five years passed in a blink. And right at this moment, an event that caused a great sensation in the entire Eastward Country happened!


    A one point heavenly alchemist was really born!


    After 26 years, Ye Yuan finally refined his first heavenly pill!


    The quality of this heavenly pill was extremely poor; furthermore, it was the most basic Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill. Even so, this was indeed a heavenly pill!


    This matter immediately caused a great sensation in the entire Eastward Country.


    The entire imperial city was discussing this matter!


    ��Have you guys heard? That ascender with only one point affinity from the Tang Family really refined a heavenly pill!��


    ��My God, this is an unprecedented major event! The 33 Heavens�� alchemy world might even change because of this incident!��


    ��I can��t figure it out. His affinity is only one point. How on earth did he refine a heavenly pill?��


    �� ��


    One point affinity, this was completely an affinity that was cut off from being a heavenly alchemist.


    But Ye Yuan finally achieved it after 26 years of hard work!


    This matter could be rated as having caused a great sensation.


    When Jiang Yu witnessed his scene, his entire being was stunned for 15 minutes before recovering to his senses.


    It was not just him. After the entire Tang Family heard about this matter, everyone��s reaction was exactly the same!


    Having hope was one thing but really refining it was another.


    One had to know, refining a heavenly pill was ten thousand times harder than extracting the Dragonbone Grass!

 Chapter 2544 - Disaster Comes From the Sky

    In the imperial garden, an old man and a youth, two figures, were currently strolling.


    The young man in brocade said, ��Master Lin, it��s lively outside right now! An ascender, furthermore, it��s an ascender whose affinity doesn��t reach one point, actually refined a heavenly pill. The entire Eastward Country is boiling over with excitement! Heh, this ascender has overshadowed even your elderly self��s prestige!��


    The old man was indifferent and said with a smile, ��That second child in your family has been making a big hoo-haa recently! Huhu, a one point affinity ascender, no matter how high his talent, it��s also impossible to refine a heavenly pill! I��m afraid that this heavenly pill is refined by Jiang Yu, right?��


    The youth in brocade smiled and said, ��That second child of my family loves to make trouble the most. But this time, it��s stirred up really big! Right now, rumors are spreading outside, saying that that ascender��s alchemy path talent is outstanding, his potential unlimited. They even say ����


    The old man scolded with a smile: ��You punk, still leaving this old man hanging?��


    The youth in brocade gave a difficult smile and said, ��I��m afraid that if I say it out, Master Lin will be unhappy.��


    The old man laughed in spite of himself and said, ��This old man is already at this ripe old age, don��t I have even this bit of magnanimity? Say!��


    The youth in brocade said, ��They said that that ascender will definitely surpass Master Lin in the future, and become Eastward Country��s number one!��


    The old man��s eyes flickered, his smile revealing some unnaturalness.


    However, this bit of fluctuation flashed across fleetingly and did not manifest.


    The old man said confidently, ��Huhu, there are too many heavenly alchemists who surpass this old man in this world. What��s strange about one more? But, an ascender �� huhu, I��m afraid that it will be a little difficult!��


    The youth in brocade said with a smile, ��That��s of course! These are all just rumors; nothing to believe. Looking across Eastward Country, who can compare with Master Lin��s alchemy methods?��


    This youth in brocade was naturally the Eastward Country��s eldest prince.


    And the old man was naturally Eastward Country��s number one alchemy path person, Lin Lan.


    Eldest Prince stopped after broaching the topic and did not go deep either, changing the topic very soon.


    He was a clever man who knew the logic of going over the limit was as bad as falling short.


    Master Lin was not who he could influence. He just had to bury a seed in Master Lin��s heart and it would do.


    Moreover, he was not fabricating wild tales, the outside world currently lauded Ye Yuan to the sky. Saying such a thing was not unusual.


    After all, an ascender with only one point affinity being able to refine a heavenly pill was already heaven-defying to the extreme.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan himself also did not expect that refining a heavenly pill would cause such a great sensation.


    The Tang Family��s door was almost trampled broken.


    He severely underestimated the influence of this incident. A one point affinity refining a complete product heavenly pill, this was absolutely an explosive to the extreme major incident!


    Even people who had nothing to do with heavenly pills also knew that this was something impossible.


    However, such a thing happened. It naturally aroused everyone��s great curiosity.


    Therefore, the people who came to the Tang Family to request an audience with Ye Yuan every day came and went in endless streams.


    The Tang Family��s popularity skyrocketed and even their business also boomed for some time.


    But very soon, everyone��s attitude changed.


    No reason other than because Ye Yuan did not meet these people seeking novelty without exception!


    With regards to this first heavenly pill, Ye Yuan himself was extremely dissatisfied.


    Because the quality was too poor!


    Unbearable to witness!


    To others, this might be something worth showing off.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was completely unnecessary.


    However, Ye Yuan had indeed also tasted the pain of not having affinity.


    Although he already trained his instinct to an extremely terrifying realm, when it came to really refine the heavenly pill, he was still beaten black and blue by the complexity of heavenly pills.


    If it were others, they would have long broken down.


    Even the lowest level Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill required a combination of more than ten heavenly medicines too.


    Extracting a heavenly medicine was nothing to the current Ye Yuan.


    But combining them together was completely not like that at all.


    The complexity involved, only people who really practiced alchemy knew.


    It was also precisely because so, that the status of heavenly alchemists would be so revered.


    It was also precisely because so that it was simply impossible for ascenders to become heavenly alchemists under the circumstances where affinity was lacking.


    But Ye Yuan did not give up. Instinct was not enough? Then continue training!


    Finally, eight years later, he refined a heavenly pill!


    Although it was the lousiest heavenly pill.


    Of course, in these eight ears, Jiang Yu also helped him a lot.


    ��Big Brother, just show face! Just once, alright?�� Tang Yu thickened his skin and begged.


    Ye Yuan shook his head stubbornly and said, ��Not going. I can��t afford to lose this face!��


    Tang Yu said gloomily, ��But outside there, this news is already spreading like crazy; all saying that you��re a liar, saying that our Tang Family are liars. In fact, someone already turned the spearhead toward Second Prince!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��What does that have to do with me?��


    Tang Yu nearly stifled internal injuries out and he said gloomily, ��Big Brother, you really did an earth-shattering major thing! Even if the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill��s quality isn��t good, your affinity is put there. Being able to refine it is already a huge deal! But you �� actually don��t show face!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Can that thing be called a heavenly pill too? The name is called Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, but if someone were to eat it, their foundation will likely be ruined immediately! Leave, leave, leave! Don��t disturb my closed-seclusion! After I really refine a heavenly pill, it won��t be too late for you guys to show it off!��


    Ye Yuan directly pushed Tang Yu out of the door and continued devoting himself to researching heavenly pills.


    Him going into a retreat and not coming out, coupled with observant and conscientious people adding fuel to the fire, the discussion turned into a one-sided situation very quickly.


    Originally, after this incident came out, it caused a stir in the entire city. The Tang Family also rose along with it.


    But all of a sudden, the Tang Family became a ray crossing the street; everyone shouting to hit it.


    Especially in the alchemy world, they even joined forces to boycott the Tang Family.


    Very soon, Tang Yu realized that something was not right!


    After the incident fermented for a period of time, suddenly, disaster came from the sky!


    On this day, a middle-aged man brought a large number of guards and surrounded the Tang Family tightly until water could not seep through!


    Tang Jinhua and Tang Yu got a fright and hurriedly came out to greet them.


    ��Lord Xie Hua, I wonder what has the Tang Family done to have alarmed you?�� Tang Jinhua gave a bow and said.


    The status of this person in front of him was not ordinary. He was Nation Teacher Lin Lan��s eldest disciple.


    The entire Eastward Country��s alchemy world��s affairs were almost all in charge by him.


    Dispatching a massive force today, the arrivals clearly came with unkind intentions.


    Tang Jinhua and Tang Yu��s expressions were very ugly. They did not expect to actually alarm Master Lin.


    Xie Hua gave a cold laugh and said, ��Don��t you all know what you��ve done? The Tang Family spread rumors and plunged the entire Eastward Country��s alchemy world into chaos. This Xie came here today to seal up the Tang Family!��


    Tang Yu��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Your Excellency, I wonder when my Tang Family spread rumors and disrupted the alchemy world?��


    ��Putooh! You guys didn��t spread rumors? Didn��t you all say that a one point ascender refined a heavenly pill? Where��s the heavenly pill?��


    ��Yeah! How can a one point ascender possibly refine a heavenly pill? Your Tang Family is lying through your teeth!��


    ��Right now, it raised a huge uproar in the entire city, your Tang Family is the main culprit!��


    �� ��


    The moment Tang Yu opened his mouth, it immediately drew condemnation from a large group of people.

 Chapter 2545 - Searching House and Confiscating Property!

    The expressions of Tang Yu father and son changed drastically. They did not expect that things were already so serious.


    Someone clearly led the tempo!


    It was just that at this time, they could not explain this even with a hundred mouths!


    Xie Hua gave a cold laugh and said, ��In accord with the will of the people, could it be that this Xie can still frame you all? If you want to slap my face, this Xie��s face, also can. Let that one pointer ascender come out and refine a heavenly pill in public. This Xie will apologize to your Tang Family!��


    Tang Yu��s expression was very ugly. Because calling Ye Yuan out now was impossible.


    A month ago, Ye Yuan directly announced terminal seclusion.


    Disturbing Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion at this time, if it ruined his important thing, Ye Yuan would really kill people!


    Seeing this father and son two people hesitate, Xie Hua sneered even harder as he said, ��Why? Can��t call him out, or �� he can��t refine pills at all?��


    ��Your Excellency, Ye Yuan is currently in terminal seclusion! How about this, after he exits seclusion, I��ll definitely give you an explanation!�� Tang Yu was helpless and could only say this.


    ��Heh, what a coincidence! The moment this Xie came, he entered terminal seclusion! Seems like after this news spread, he has been in closed-seclusion all along, right?�� Xie Hua said with a smile that was not a smile.


    ��This ���� Tang Yu had nothing to say in response.


    Ye Yuan had never been willing to show up, he was also very helpless.


    Everyone was also not to be blamed for misunderstanding. This sort of thing, no matter who, they would misunderstand too.


    ��Alright, enough crap! Since that ascender isn��t willing to come out, search the house and confiscate property for me!��


    Under Xie Hua��s word of command, each and every one of the guards was like wolves and tigers, directly pouncing over.


    Tang Jinhua��s expression changed drastically and he said in alarm and anger, ��Lord Xie Hua, how can you do this? Our Tang Family is ����


    Before he finished speaking, he was held back by Tang Yu.


    Tang Yu knew that Father was going to bring up Second Prince in his moment of desperation.


    But who was behind Xie Hua?


    That was Nation Teacher Lin Lan!


    How could a mere Second Prince be able to suppress Xie Hua?


    It would be making a fool of himself, that��s all!


    Xie Hua looked at Tang Yu and said with a smile, ��Tang Yu, although you��re missing an arm, you��re getting smarter and smarter! So, are you planning on surrendering without resistance?��


    Tang Yu had a grim expression as he said, ��Xie Hua, you��ll regret it!��


    Xie Hua laughed loudly and said, ��In this Eastward Country, apart from Master and His Majesty, someone who can make this Xie regret hasn��t been born yet! Come, men! Tie him up for me!��


    Beside Xie Hua, two burly men dashed out, giving Tang Yu a kick the moment they came up, directly kicking him on his abdomen, dropping him to his knees.


    Tang Yu��s face was almost contorted from pain, vomiting a mouthful of blood with a cough.


    But the burly men did not give him the chance to catch his breath at all, directly tying his hands behind his back.


    Tying the Tang Family father and son up, Xie Hua took big steps and barged right into the Tang Family.


    Upon inquiring, Xie Hua found Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion venue very quickly.


    ��Huhu, knows how to choose places. It��s just that, putting on an appearance and being in closed-seclusion here, can you refine heavenly pills? What a joke! Trash will always be trash! How can ascenders possibly refine heavenly pills? Come, men! Break the door for me!�� Xie Hua looked at the closed door and said with disdain.


    Two upper Lesser Sublime Heaven guards rushed up and were about to break the door and enter.


    But right at this time, the door erupted with rays of brilliant light. Rays of sword light turned into sword rain that filled the sky, rushing towards the two guards.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The two guards were caught off-guard and directly blasted flying out.


    Xie Hua��s expression changed, revealing a look of shock.


    He heard that this ascender was merely middle Lesser Sublime Heaven. How could the grand array that he laid down be so strong?


    Xie Hua suddenly turned his head and looked toward the Tang Family father and son with their hands tied behind their backs, and said angrily, ��You guys know that there are restrictions here?��


    A hint of a sneer flashed across Tang Yu��s face.


    Of course, he knew!


    But, he did not say it!


    Pah!


    Xie Hua dealt a backhanded slap, flinging it fiercely onto Tang Yu��s face, directly slapping him flying out.


    This slap was extremely heavy, half of Tang Yu��s face swelled up.


    Xie Hua gave a cold snort and said, ��Looks like you father and son won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Come, men! Give them a good beating for me!��


    Under his word of command, several guards rushed up and boxed and kicked.


    These guards were all not weak. Each fist hitting the flesh, the Tang Family father and son immediately had their skin flayed open and flesh torn.


    When Xie Hua saw this scene, he felt a little better.


    He gave a cold snort and said, ��A mere restriction also wants to stop this Xie, also overestimating his own ability too much!��


    He walked slowly towards the door, the imposing momentum on his body growing stronger and stronger.


    Xie Hua was a grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven powerhouse, his strength was naturally not weak.


    He did not believe that this lousy restriction could still stop him!


    ��Stop!�� Just as he was prepared to make a move, a cold cry suddenly came over.


    Xie Hua turned around to look and said with a smile, ��So, it��s Second Prince and Master Yun who arrived. This Xie pays respect.��


    His attitude was neither obsequiously nor haughtily, not taking the two people too seriously.


    Second Prince went without saying, but even Lu Yun, he could overlook him.


    Although Lu Yun and Lin Lan were similarly Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, their statuses were like heaven and earth.


    After all, Lin Lan was a heavenly alchemist, his status incomparably venerated, and he was even honored by the emperor as Nation Teacher.


    Second Prince glared at Xie Hua and said, ��Xie Hua, what��s the meaning of this? You brought people to search the property and even want to touch Ye Yuan. Are you slapping this prince��s face?��


    Xie Hua said with a fake smile, ��Your Highness�� words are not right. This Xue is in charge of Eastward Country��s alchemy world affairs, isn��t the Tang Family under jurisdiction? They spread rumors, throwing the imperial regime into chaos. Shouldn��t their property be searched and confiscated?��


    Second Prince smiled coldly and said, ��Xie Hua, this prince has never offended you! There��s likely the shadow of that big brother of mine behind this matter, right? Searching and confiscating the Tang Family, heh heh, this is setting an example for this prince to see!��


    Xie Hua said coolly, ��Your Highness is thinking too much! Do you think that Eldest Prince can influence Master��s decision?��


    When Second Prince heard that, his expression could not help changing.


    Xie Hua��s words were tantamount to blocking off all of the retreat routes.


    There was only one person who could influence Lin Lan��s decision in this Eastward Country, that was the emperor himself!


    At this time, Lu Yun who was by the side suddenly spoke up. He said, ��Xie Hua, give this old man face, how about it?��


    Xie Hua��s expression changed. He could choose not to give Second Prince face, but Lu Yun was a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse. His status was second only to Master in Eastward Country.


    His face was huge!


    After a moment of silence, Xie Hua said, ��Master Yun has a lofty status and can originally stay out of this matter. Must you get involved in the battle for the throne?��


    Lu Yun smiled faintly and said, ��Didn��t Lin Lan get involved in it too?��


    Xie Hua��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��This matter, this Xie is judging by facts and not the individual! Master Yun��s words are rather biased!��


    Lu Yun said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, Ye Yuan and the Tang Family��s matter, I, Lu, am intervening! What are you going to do about it?��


    Xie Hua��s expression changed immediately feeling great pressure.


    Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was an existence that suppressed a region in Eastward Country.


    Before coming, he also never thought that Lu Yun would actually intervene.


    ��Huhu, Younger Brother Lu��s status is revered. Why is there a need to interfere in the matters of juniors? Why not give this old man face and withdraw?��


    Just as Xie Hua was in a dilemma, another voice sounded out!

 Chapter 2546 - This Joke is Really Hilarious!

    ��Master!��


    Seeing the arrival, Xie Hua was overjoyed.


    At this time, there was only Lin Lan who could suppress Lu Yun.


    However, the expressions of Lu Yun and the rest changed wildly.


    Even Lu Yun also did not expect that with Lin Lan��s identity, he would actually personally take action for a measly little Tang Family!


    It seemed like his desire to destroy Ye Yuan was already as firm as iron.


    Lu Yun��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Nation Teacher came forth in person for a measly little Tang Family. It really caught this Lu by surprise!��


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��Didn��t Younger Brother Lu also move out in person for a measly little Tang Family? The Tang Family brought chaos upon the alchemy world, causing the atmosphere of the entire imperial city to be foul everywhere. It isn��t considered overboard for this nation teacher to want to take them down, right? Or is it that that one point affinity ascender can really refine heavenly pills?��


    The corners of Lu Yun��s mouth twitched slightly, because he had never seen Ye Yuan refine pills with his own eyes before.


    There was only Jiang Yu alone who had truly seen him before.


    Sometimes, public clamor could melt metals.


    When the entire world was denying a person, no matter how much you said, it was useless too.


    Lu Yun and Second Prince clearly did not have much confidence in Ye Yuan refining a heavenly pill too.


    After all, this was something impossible in the first place.


    ��This �� Whether can or not, we got to witness it before we��ll know!�� Lu Yun argued.


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��Yeah, indeed need to witness it. It��s just that �� this nation teacher feels that that brat has probably long already slipped away! Whether he��s in here or not is already very hard to say. Otherwise, why did he suddenly go into terminal seclusion?��


    Lu Yun��s expression became rather ugly.


    Indeed, if Ye Yuan really could not refine a heavenly pill, he might very likely have already slipped away now.


    How could he be in closed-seclusion here stupidly?


    ��Big Brother he��s right inside!�� Tang Yu vomited blood from his mouth, using a hoarse voice to roar.


    After a bout of pummeling, Tang Yu currently had a bloodied nose and swollen face, fresh blood flowing across his body, his appearance incomparably miserable.


    When Lin Lan heard this, he still smiled and said, ��Child, if he already left, can you discover it with the likes of you?��


    Tang Yu choked when he heard that, but immediately said, ��Big Brother definitely won��t run away!��


    Lin Lan smiled slightly and said, ��Whether he left or not, we��ll naturally know after breaking this array formation. If he isn��t here, your Tang Family will have nothing to say anymore, right?��


    Tang Yu said stubbornly, ��If he isn��t here, want to kill or dismember my Tang Family is up to your disposal!��


    In the past, he did not understand Ye Yuan.


    But along with the passing of time, his understanding of Ye Yuan gradually grew deeper, only then, discovering that this was someone who valued relationships and loyalty immensely.


    Want him to believe that Ye Yuan fled? That was impossible!


    Lin Lan smiled and arrived before the door.


    The imposing aura of a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum suddenly erupted and Lin Lan smashed a fist towards the grand array.


    But right at this time, the door opened from inside with a creak. Ye Yuan��s figure appeared in front of everyone.


    ��Eh? So many people? So lively! This brother, this Ye doesn��t have grudges nor enmity with you, why did you smash my door?�� Ye Yuan asked in puzzlement.


    Lin Lan was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect Ye Yuan to leave seclusion at this time.


    Let alone did he imagine that Ye Yuan actually really did not leave.


    In his view, Ye Yuan dragging it out and not daring to show face was absolutely due to a guilty conscience.


    How could this kind of person possibly refine a heavenly pill?


    But Lu Yun��s expression changed, and he said, ��Ye Yuan, you mustn��t be rude! This is our Eastward Country��s Nation Teacher Lin Lan, Eastward alchemy world��s number one person!��


    Ye Yuan had just exited seclusion and had not figured out the situation yet.


    However, he already saw that the Tang Family father and son were beaten until they were unrecognizable. How could he still not understand what had happened?


    Fury rose from the bottom of his heart.


    ��Eastward alchemy world��s number one person, is it? Huhu, then these people were all brought by you?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    The tone was already rather unfriendly.


    Lin Lan nodded faintly and said, ��That��s right. You can think of it as they were brought by this nation teacher. The Tang Family brought chaos to the alchemy world and spread rumors, this nation teacher is searching and confiscating the Tang Family��s property. Why? What��s wrong with it?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Spread rumors? What rumors? That I know how to refine heavenly pills?��


    This kind of thing, use one��s buttocks to think and one would also know.


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��Why? You aren��t going to tell this Nation Teacher that you really know how to refine heavenly pills, right?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Why? Can��t I?��


    ��Hahaha �� a one point affinity pitiful bug. Even if you��re posturing, you also have to pick your target, alright? Posturing in front of Master, aren��t you asking for trouble?�� Xie Hua laughed loudly when he heard that.


    When others heard it, mocking smiles also came over.


    ��Really ignorant, already told him that Nation Teacher is the alchemy path��s number one person, he��s still asking for trouble!��


    ��He hid in this dilapidated house for so long and not dare to come out. To say that he knows how to refine heavenly pills, I won��t believe it even if you beat me to death!��


    ��The Tang Family was scolded for so long and this guy didn��t even come out to clarify. He clearly has a guilty conscience! Refining heavenly pill? A hilarious joke!��


    �� ��


    At this point, no one believed that Ye Yuan knew how to refine pills anymore.


    Something that was originally impossible, a six-month long closed-seclusion was enough to deny everything.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s tough attitude at this time was just looking for a rebuff in the eyes of others.


    The Tang Family was destroyed for sure today.


    Ye Yuan was also dead for sure today.


    Lin Lan could not help laughing as he said, ��I heard before that your talent is pretty good. But, it��s impossible for one point affinity to refine heavenly pills!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��If I refine it?��


    Lin Lan still shook his head and said, ��Absolutely impossible! In the 33 Heavens, no one with one point affinity has refined a heavenly pill!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and changed the topic, ��They said that you��re Eastward alchemy path��s number one person?��


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��At least so far, no one in Eastward can surpass this nation teacher in Alchemy Dao!��


    In Eastward this border place, heavenly alchemists were very rare to begin with.


    Each heavenly alchemist had extremely venerated status.


    But Lin Lan was the most illustrious one, not one of!


    Therefore, his words were full of confidence.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he just said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, then this Ye will challenge you, this Eastward alchemy path��s number one person! Do you dare accept it or not?��


    The moment these words came out, the whole place became deathly silent.


    And right away, there was a burst of roaring laughter.


    ��A one point heavenly alchemist wants to challenge Nation Teacher! This is the most hilarious joke that I��ve heard in the past 100 years!��


    ��I��m dying of laughter! It��s really killing me! Did this ascender break his brain when he ascended?��


    ��He had an appearance of seriously challenging Nation Teacher! It��s really scary! Nation Teacher, you mustn��t accept it, I��m scared!��


    �� ��


    The ridiculing voices reached their peak.


    If a one point heavenly alchemist was a massive joke in itself, then Ye Yuan��s challenge was really going to shatter the firmament with laughter!


    Even Tang Yu, Lu Yun, and the rest were also thunderstruck until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    This challenge was really an astonishing move!


    Even if Ye Yuan was really a one point heavenly alchemist, this was also the biggest joke since ancient times!


    Lin Lan maintained a proper demeanor and said with a slight smile, ��Young man, your courage is commendable! It��s just that, you heard it too. This joke is really very funny!��

 Chapter 2547 - You Can’t Kill Him!

    ��A joke? This Ye doesn��t have the time to tell you jokes! You just say, do you dare or not?! Or, are you, this whatever Eastward alchemy path��s number one person, actually a coward?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment these words came out, everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    Ye Yuan was considered to have publicly insulted Nation Teacher!


    How many years had it been since such a thing had happened?


    Lin Lan��s expression also instantly turned sullen.


    He clearly knew that Ye Yuan was goading, but the fury in his heart still erupted uncontrollably.


    Even His Majesty would not dare to put him on the spot in front of so many people.


    An ascender with one point affinity actually dared to insult him so mercilessly.


    Furthermore, it was even humiliating him on the Alchemy Dao that he was most proud of!


    If this could be endured, what else could not be?


    ��Huhu, very good! This nation teacher accepts your challenge! But, if this nation teacher finds out that you��re playing with me and can��t refine heavenly pills at all ����


    ��If this Ye loses to you, I��ll cripple my own cultivation and the Tang Family will be at your disposal!��


    Not waiting for Lin Lan to finish speaking, Ye Yuan directly interrupted his words, not leaving himself the slightest leeway.


    What Lin Lan said was that if he could not refine a heavenly pill.


    But when it reached Ye Yuan��s mouth, it became would not lose to Lin Lan!


    Which was also to say that Ye Yuan had absolute confidence in this alchemy battle!


    And these words also directly forced himself to the edge of the cliff!


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Seen before ruthless people, but never seen before such a ruthless one!


    However, everyone discerned that Ye Yuan��s words still had a continuation.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan paused for a bit and said in a solemn voice, ��But if this Ye wins, what will Nation Teacher do?��


    Lin Lan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��What qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with this nation teacher?��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��You can��t kill me, but I can kill you in the future! Even if you hide in the royal palace, it��s useless too! So this match, you have to bet!��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool. They were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    A middle Lesser Sublime Heaven said that he was going to kill Nation Teacher under the encirclement of so many powerhouses.


    They were already absolutely sure that this ascender was definitely out of his mind!


    Of course, his ability to be funny was also first-rate!


    Lin Lan laughed loudly and he said, ��You��re saying that this nation teacher is a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse but have to be coerced by you now? What a joke! Do you believe that this nation teacher will kill you right now?��


    At this time, Lu Yun suddenly said, ��No, this isn��t a joke! You really can��t kill him!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was shocked.


    Lin Lan frowned and said, ��Lu Yun, don��t you find it ridiculous to speak up for him at this time?��


    But Lu Yun shook his head indifferently and said, ��This old man isn��t speaking up for him, I��m just stating a fact! Why do you think this old man showed up here? Is a mere middle Lesser Sublime Heaven worth making this old man come forward in person to protect him?��


    Lin Lan��s expression changed, immediately feeling something amiss.


    Lu Yun did not rush and continued, ��Ye Yuan had once sneaked into the royal palace before and strolled around in front of this old man. But this old man didn��t notice it in the slightest! His spatial rule is long already transcendent. You can��t kill him! But he can kill you in the future! Of course, if you don��t believe me, you can attack right now!��


    Lu Yun��s words shocked everyone until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    A middle Lesser Sublime Heaven strolled around under the eyelids of a Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse and he actually did not notice it?


    How could this kind of thing possibly happen?


    ��Too fake! Master Yun must be lying!��


    ��In order to protect the Tang Family, Master Yun has really gone all out!��


    ��Telling bald-faced lies this sort of thing, I didn��t expect that Master Yun could do it too!��


    �� ��


    No one believed Lu Yun at all, because what he said was too fantastical.


    The degree was likely comparable to a one point heavenly alchemist.


    One had to know, what Lu Yun said was in front of him, not hiding from his eyes and ears.


    A middle Lesser Sublime Heaven stood in front of a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse and he did not notice it at all.


    Was it possible?


    Lin Lan��s pupils constricted slightly but fell silent.


    He understood Lu Yun. Telling a brazen lie this sort of thing, he could not make up this kind of nonsense.


    Furthermore, Lu Yun said it too calmly, and it also seemed to have some fear mixed in it.


    This subtle emotion was what truly triggered Lin Lan��s nerves.


    ��Fine! This nation teacher accepts your challenge! Now, state your request!�� Lin Lan said.


    Everyone was shocked. Nation Teacher actually compromised!


    Could it be that what Master Yun said was actually true?


    Everyone��s hearts shook wildly!


    Ye Yuan pointed at the Tang Family father and son, and said coolly, ��Very simple, those who attacked, leave an arm behind, and kneel down and apologize to the Tang Family! Also, you, Lord Nation Teacher, bow and apologize to the Tang Family father and son in front of everyone!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Another series of the sound of cold air being drawn came over.


    Today��s matter blew up!


    Making Nation Teacher bow and apologize, even His Majesty did not dare to propose this, right?


    This ascender really ate a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall, to actually dare make such a request!


    This was offending Nation Teacher to the core!


    Even Second Prince��s expression changed too, and he said with a cold yell, ��Ye Yuan, that��s too much!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he gave Second Prince a deep glance.


    Second Prince��s neck shrunk back, immediately feeling a strong pressure, almost asphyxiating him.


    Lu Yun secretly thought to himself that things were not good and hurriedly said, ��Young Friend Ye, no matter what decision you make today, this Lu supports you!��


    Only then did Ye Yuan��s gaze ease up a little, and he nodded his head slightly to signal it.


    Second Prince still wanted to say something but was shot down by Lu Yun with a fierce glare.


    Lu Yun naturally knew Second Prince��s thoughts. Nation Teacher was a major favorite in front of His Majesty.


    With regards to seizing the throne, a word from Nation Teacher could match ten thousand words that he said!


    He held incredible weight!


    Offending Nation Teacher was equivalent to severing his own prospects!


    When Second Prince saw Ye Yuan make such an overboard request, how could he not be agitated?


    However, Lu Yun saw it deeper than him!


    Offending Nation Teacher was for sure.


    There was no meaning in standing up to say this sort of thing at this time.


    If he offended Ye Yuan again because of one sentence, then Second Prince was really finished!


    Because Lu Yun felt that the consequences of offending Ye Yuan were even more severe than offending Nation Teacher!


    Pick the lesser of two evils!


    Therefore, at this time, they had to stand on Ye Yuan��s side even more incomparably firmly!


    Make a complete break from Nation Teacher!


    Stand side by side with Ye Yuan!


    Lu Yun was gambling!


    He was gambling that Ye Yuan could become a big shot who would cause a great sensation in Eastward!


    Perhaps Ye Yuan��s weight in Eastward in the future would even surpass that of Nation Teacher��s!


    Sure enough, Lin Lan gave a cold laugh, his gaze when looking toward Second Prince became extremely indifferent.


    Clearly, he already made a decision in his heart.


    ��Huhu, so what if I promise you? Could it be that this nation teacher is even afraid of you, a one point affinity ascender? Since it��s a life-and-death wager, this nation teacher will sign an origin divinity contract with you! The person who breaks the contract will be struck dead by heaven!�� Lin Lan said in a cold voice.


    Since he knew that Ye Yuan��s spatial rule was incredible, Lin Lan was naturally afraid that Ye Yuan would break the contract and flee after his defeat.


    As for losing to Ye Yuan, he never thought about it at all.


    This was something impossible!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head faintly and said, ��As it ought to be!��

 Chapter 2548 - Please Start Your Performance!

    Everything was ready. An alchemy battle without any suspense officially started.


    Actually, everyone including Lu Yun and Tang Yu did not have much confidence in Ye Yuan.


    This brag was too over the top!


    If it was just refining a heavenly pill to prove the Tang Family��s innocence, they still had some confidence.


    But the opponent was Nation Teacher, Eastward alchemy path��s number one person!


    This difficulty was too great!


    However, at that moment when the origin divinity contract was signed, Tang Yu father and son almost shed tears.


    They knew that Ye Yuan only did this in order to vent his frustration for him.


    He even wagered his own life!


    Ye Yuan could naturally escape, but he did not.


    He fought to the bitter end with Nation Teacher in order to help the Tang Family seek justice!


    How could they not be moved?


    As distance tested a horse��s strength, time revealed a person��s heart!


    It was talking about this, right?


    ��Brat, you say that you��re a heavenly alchemist. Then what heavenly pill do you want to compete in?�� Lin Lan said with a cold smile.


    ��I only know the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!�� Ye Yuan said calmly.


    He said it so naturally and righteously.


    Everyone had stunned faces. Following that, they burst into another wave of roaring laughter.


    Lin Lan saw that Ye Yuan had always had a calm and collected appearance. He even thought that Ye Yuan really had some heaven-defying ability.


    After a farce, he actually only knew how to refine the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was the most basic heavenly pill. The refining difficulty was the lowest.


    To a grade two heavenly alchemist like Lin Lan, refining a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was like playing around.


    Furthermore, his quality was several times stronger than grade one heavenly alchemists!


    Ye Yuan competing in the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill with him, wasn��t this looking for abuse?


    ��It��s over! This time, it��s really over!�� A look of despair was revealed in Tang Yu��s eyes.


    Second Prince gritted his teeth, and he said in a low voice, ��Master Yun, is this the person that you bet on? How will he win now? Even if he can really refine a heavenly pill, how can he possibly beat Nation Teacher?��


    Lu Yun also had a stunned look and actually had nothing to say in reply.


    He also somewhat doubted whether he bet wrongly or not.


    As for the rest, they hugged their bellies and laughed loudly.


    ��Hahaha �� It��s really killing me! I really didn��t come in vain today! This kid��s ability to amuse is superb!��


    ��He was so cocky just now. So I thought that he knew how to refine some heaven-defying heavenly pill. After a long time, he��s going to compete in the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill with Nation Teacher!��


    ��Tsk tsk, really a gimmick! It��s still my first time hearing that someone dares to compete in Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill with Nation Teacher! Doesn��t he know that Nation Teacher��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is the strongest in Eastward Country?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s composure previously became forced posturing in everyone��s eyes.


    Now, his true colors were revealed!


    Lin Lan could not help laughing as he said, ��Huhu, Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill huh? You really scared this nation teacher. Alright, compete in the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill then. Master Ye, you have to show mercy in a while!��


    Roaring laughter sounded out everywhere. Everyone was tickled by Nation Teacher��s humor.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Then, please start your performance, Nation Teacher!��


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��Alright, after this nation teacher finishes refining, I want to see how you still continue posturing!��


    Lin Lan arrived before the pill furnace. Everyone quietened down.


    Such a major incident happening to the Tang Family, many heavenly alchemists also rushed over when they heard the news.


    Seeing Lin Lan take action, each and everyone held their breaths.


    Lin Lan already had not displayed his strength in front of people for a long time.


    Observing Nation Teacher��s pill refinement, even if it was the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, it would be a good learning opportunity for them too.


    Arriving before the pill furnace, Lin Lan��s aura changed. The disposition of a grandmaster rose leisurely.


    Feeling this aura, everyone registered profound respect.


    How could an ordinary person become the nation teacher?


    Lin Lan held his palm out, a dark-red Dao fire emerged.


    Grade two Dao fire!


    Red Lotus Wood Heaven Dao Fire!


    Compared to grade one Dao fires, this Red Lotus Wood Heaven Dao Fire was clearly much purer. The damage to heavenly alchemists was also significantly lesser.


    It was only to see Lin Lan beckon with his hand. A Dragonbone Grass arrived on his palm.


    Dragonbone Grass was precisely one of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill��s heavenly medicine.


    The Dragonbone Grass gradually turned into paste form, being crystal clear without the slightest blemish!


    Cries of wonder rose and ebbed!


    ��Tsk tsk, the nation teacher is really the nation teacher. He is really too strong! This extraction technique has reached the acme of perfection!��


    ��I heard that Nation Teacher��s affinity reached a horrifying 48 points! Refining an entry-level heavenly medicine like Dragonbone Grass, isn��t it at his fingertips?��


    ��Haha, I��m somewhat looking forward to it now. How a one point heavenly alchemist refines these heavenly medicines!��


    �� ��


    When experts make their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    The moment Lin Lan got started, it was completely not what Gu Mao that level of heavenly alchemist could compare to.


    Regardless of whether it was heat or skill level, it was not on the same level at all!


    Tang Yu and the rest had also never seen a grade two heavenly alchemist take action before.


    Seeing this scene, they despaired to the extreme.


    The nation teacher was still the nation teacher!


    Too strong!


    They already could not care about their injuries anymore. They only hoped that Lin Lan would make some mistakes when refining.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would not have a chance to win at all!


    However, time slowly trickled by. Lin Lan did not make any mistakes at all.


    Not only that, but Lin Lan also seemed to have gotten serious, and actually showed signs of gradually entering an ideal state.


    Lin Lan��s performance was like bullets, shattering the hearts of the Tang Family father and son to pieces.


    No idea how long had passed either, Lin Lan withdrew his Dao fire and urged with his palm. A medicinal pill fell onto the table.


    One look and the quality was extremely high!


    ��Huhu, I haven��t practiced the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill for many years. I��ve become a little rusty. Fortunately, I gradually found some feeling back. Come, men, bring forth the Cloud Mount Mother Stone!�� Lin Lan said with a laugh.


    In reality, he was serious from the start.


    Ye Yuan��s repeated provocation upset him greatly. He was naturally unwilling to be neglectful.


    Taking action this time, he went all out!


    As for being rusty, he had indeed not refined the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill for some years already, but it definitely would not affect his strength!


    Just like a mathematics professional, he had not done elementary school problems for many years already.


    If he went back to do the problems now, would he be rusty?


    Obviously not!


    Of course, he would not say that.


    Very soon, someone brought a white rock up.


    This rock was called Cloud Mount Mother Stone, it was specifically used to determine the quality of heavenly pills.


    The Cloud Mount Mother Stone was the most sensitive to the quality of medicinal pills. A Heavenly Stratum powerhouse carved restrictions on it, once it reacted, it would give birth to a beam of light.


    The more sections the light beam had, the higher the quality.


    The quality of heavenly pills was divided into nine grades. First grade was the weakest, and ninth grade was the strongest!


    The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that Ye Yuan refined previously did not reach a grade at all.


    Lin Lan reached his hand out and beckoned, that Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill suspended above the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    Suddenly, light shone.


    A light beam lit up on the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Following that, the second beam of light, the third beam of light.


    Only all the way until the fifth beam of light was more than half completed did it stop.


    ��Nation Teacher��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is of the upper fifth grade!��


    Lin Lan nodded his head slightly, expressing satisfaction.


    However, everyone was already boiling with excitement!


    ��Upper fifth grade! Just a bit more and it can reach sixth grade!��


    ��Nation Teacher is Nation Teacher, far from what some random Tom, Dick, or Harry, can compare to!��


    ��Heh, Nation Teacher is simply demeaning his own status by competing in alchemy with that ascender!��

 Chapter 2549 - Master Ye, Time for You to Perform!

    For ordinary grade one heavenly alchemists, no matter how skilled, they could only refine upper third grade quality too.


    Those who could reach fourth grade were all heaven-grade powerhouses.


    But the moment Lin Lan took action, it was upper fifth grade. It could be seen how profound his skill level was!


    It was not that fifth grade was two grades higher than third grade; the quality would increase by less than twice.


    The higher the quality, the harder it was to achieve.


    Third grade to fourth grade was several times the gap.


    Fourth grade to fifth grade was another gap of several times!


    This kind of disparity was magnified exponentially.


    Fifth grade compared to ordinary third grade, the medicinal effect was at least more than ten times stronger!


    Further up, it was virtually impossible for a grade two heavenly alchemist to want to reach sixth grade.


    Of course, this was also the most basic Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    If it were other heavenly pills, it would have been impossible for him to reach this level.


    ��Master Ye, can this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill still enter your arcane sights?�� Lin Lan joked.


    Upper fifth grade was an exceptional performance for him as well.


    He was already very sure in his heart that he would win.


    If upper fifth grade could not even beat a one point affinity fellow, he could find a piece of tofu to go and commit suicide.


    Therefore, he was very relaxed right now.


    However, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s just like that, barely passable. However, you��re indeed much stronger than Gu Mao that fellow.��


    Ye Yuan��s visual prowess was not what these heavenly alchemists present could compare to.


    Lin Lan��s pill refinement was like floating clouds and flowing water �C natural and smooth; accomplished in one go.


    Just controlling the fire shook Gu Mao off by ten streets behind!


    Therefore, the two were not on the same level at all.


    Of course, Ye Yuan��s fire control shook Gu Mao off by more than 100 streets.


    Lin Lan was similarly not on the same level as Ye Yuan.


    But the crowd was extremely indignant.


    ��This guy is really cocky to the extreme! Still posturing until now!��


    ��Nation Teacher is good-tempered. Otherwise, he would have long wrecked him to death!��


    ��Upper fifth grade is still passable! Huhu, he really is not afraid of spraining his tongue when talking!��


    �� ��


    Lin Lan��s face turned black, and he almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    This guy actually compared him to Gu Mao that trash!


    One was a grade one heavenly alchemist, while the other was grade two. There was no comparison, alright?


    ��Is that so? Then Master Ye, it��s time for you to perform!�� Lin Lan said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Alright, you learn by the side. It might help you to break through your current bottleneck. As for today��s matter, just take it as you paid tuition fees! Just because you can��t do some things, it doesn��t mean that others can��t do it. So what if one point affinity? To me, Ye Yuan, affinity is nothing at all!��


    As Ye Yuan said, he slowly walked in front of the pill furnace.


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Posturing!


    Too capable at posturing!


    This guy was nuts, to actually have Nation Teacher learn by the side!


    A rookie who could only refine Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill actually made a grade two heavenly alchemist learn something!


    Even said that affinity was nothing!


    Where did your freaking courage come from?


    Lin Lan was shocked too, he had never seen before a junior who could posture so much.


    This was crazy!


    But just as everyone was shocked, Ye Yuan made his move.


    Swoosh!


    The Dragonbone Grass flew right into Ye Yuan��s hand. Ye Yuan controlled the Dao fire and started extracting.


    The pale blue Dao fire flickered and jumped. At times, it was like a dragon prancing the nine heavens, at other times, it was like a fish swimming in shallow waters.


    All in all, that cluster of flame seemed to have life.


    The vast majority of the people present had never seen Ye Yuan refine the Dragonbone Grass before.


    Upon seeing at this moment, it was immediately overwhelmingly shocking!


    This fire control was too amazing!


    Ye Yuan��s current refinement was god knows how many times stronger than when he bet with Gu Mao back then!


    The faint smile of a victor had been hanging on Lin Lan��s face all along.


    But at this time, this confidence had already disappeared completely.


    What replaced it was shock!


    A shock that was incapable of further increase!


    He had never thought that someone could control fire to such an extent!


    Furthermore, the Dragonbone Grass was currently becoming purer and purer under Ye Yuan��s refinement.


    When the Dragonbone Grass was finished refining, Lin Lan already had a score in his heart.


    The Dragonbone Grass that Ye Yuan refined was significantly stronger than his!


    One stalk after another of heavenly medicine, Ye Yuan��s extraction was mastered to perfection, it was simply the style of a master.


    In contrast, Lin Lan��s air of a master was not even fit to carry Ye Yuan��s shoes!


    In the path of alchemy, Ye Yuan was the eternal king.


    Even if he did not have much affinity, no one could overpower him in alchemy too.


    Not that he was invincible, but that it was his formidable strength and bearing that exudes from inside out!


    This kind of self-confidence based on powerful strength was something that no one could replace.


    Affinity was the greatest obstacle stopping Ye Yuan from refining heavenly pills.


    But in other aspects, Ye Yuan��s strength was completely not what Lin Lan could compare to.


    That kind of might that had gone through endless tempering simply had no weakness to exploit!


    After finished refining the heavenly medicines, the most crucial moment came!


    Refining the heavenly pill!


    Whether it was a mule or a horse, it was time to see the truth.


    All of the heavenly medicines gathered in the pill furnace, the pressure on Ye Yuan suddenly increased.


    Even now, affinity this hurdle still added tremendous pressure on him when he was refining pills.


    That feeling was like Ye Yuan was rushing forward at full speed, but there were eight horses pulling him in the opposite direction.


    The feeling of restraint was too obvious.


    The sweat on Ye Yuan��s head grew more and more, and his expression became more and more serious.


    Clearly, he was very taxed.


    When Lin Lan saw this scene, he was immediately much more at ease.


    He could feel that Ye Yuan��s affinity absolutely did not exceed three points.


    This showed that the one point affinity was not a groundless rumor.


    Ye Yuan really did not have affinity!


    Looking at Ye Yuan��s expression again, one would know that it was enough to choke him.


    ��Huhu, I thought he could really defy the heavens. After a long time, it was a false alarm.�� Lin Lan said with a cold laugh.


    The others also let out long sighs of relief.


    Everyone was deceived by Ye Yuan��s grandmaster air previously.


    ��Freaking hell, scared me to death! I even thought that he could really refine a heavenly pill!��


    ��This guy really scares people to death without paying for it!��


    ��But, apart from that his affinity is only one point, his other areas are really strong! Sigh, what a pity!��


    �� ��


    Now, everyone��s attitude was a little better.


    After all, Ye Yuan indeed had the capital to posture.


    Just in terms of fire control and extraction, Ye Yuan had even surpassed Nation Teacher Lin Lan already.


    This was sufficient to be proud.


    However, without being able to refine a heavenly pill, everything was in vain.


    He would not be able to clear this hurdle today!


    Therefore, many people were also lamenting endlessly.


    Such a genius, it was indeed a pity.


    Along with the passing of time, Ye Yuan��s performance became more and more strained, and his breathing also became more and more labored.


    However, the movements of his hands were not disorderly at all.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan flipped his palm over. The Dao fire extinguished with a loud bang.


    Pah!


    Pah!


    Pah!


    Lin Lan��s applause came from the side.


    ��Master Ye has worked hard. Have to admit, you really scared this nation teacher! However, forget about refining heavenly pills. With your pitiful bit of affinity, it��s impossible to refine a complete heavenly pill, much less surpass this nation teacher!�� Lin Lan said with a snicker.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and flipped his palm over again, and the pill furnace opened.


    A thick medicinal scent struck the nose.


    A medicinal pill flew out of the pill furnace slowly and landed in the dish.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Lan and said with a sneer, ��Who said that you can��t refine heavenly pills without affinity?��

 Chapter 2550 - There’s Still a Long Way to Go!

    There was silence. The sound of a needle falling could be heard!


    Everyone present was collectively rendered speechless!


    A Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was really formed!


    After several breaths, the crowd suddenly exploded!


    ��Heavenly pill! He really refined a heavenly pill! A one point heavenly alchemist! He��s really a one point heavenly alchemist!��


    ��My goodness, I even thought that he was posturing! It turns out that he��s really awesome!��


    ��Something��s not right! Why does the aura of this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill feel stronger than Nation Teacher��s?��


    �� ��


    Previously, these people were still taunting and jeering, mocking Ye Yuan in various ways.


    It was as if Ye Yuan was a clown.


    But now, Ye Yuan used a single heavenly pill to make everyone shut up!


    Shocked everyone!


    Of course, what shocked them even more was the quality of this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Judging from the aura, it was actually even stronger than Nation Teacher��s.


    Of course, just how strong it was, it still needed to be tested before they would know.


    Second Prince was stunned and muttered, ��H-He really succeeded! B-But how is this possible? One point affinity! A one point affinity actually refined a heavenly pill!��


    Clearly, he still could not quite believe the truth before his eyes.


    But he knew that Master Yun gambled correctly!


    Inconceivable!


    Under the circumstances where there was absolutely no hope, he turned the tables!


    Lu Yun was also unbelievably shocked. Until now, he still felt that he was dreaming.


    He thought before that Ye Yuan could refine heavenly pills.


    But he never thought that the quality of the heavenly pill that Ye Yuan refined was actually so good!


    ��If not for that his affinity is only one point, how could he have refined this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill so strenuously?�� Lu Yun smiled bitterly and said.


    From Ye Yuan��s performance, one could tell how much effort he put in for today!


    If not for the restriction of affinity, with Ye Yuan��s terrifying talent, he would have long already made Eastward Country submit at his feet!


    What did a mere Lin Lan count for?


    Lin Lan looked at that Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, a shocked expression on his face.


    When the impossible became possible, nothing was more impactful than this.


    ��This �� How is this possible? With one point affinity, he �� he actually really refined a heavenly pill!�� Lin Lan��s eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief.


    Until now, he was also unwilling to believe that this was real!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Looks like you only cared about mocking just now and didn��t study well. Just a grade two heavenly alchemist, I wonder where your baffling self-confidence comes from. You must know, there��s a heaven beyond heaven. Lording over in this tiny little Eastward Country and posing as being number one in the world, you��ll only have this bit of strength forever. Refining pills need to harbor a heart of awe and veneration. It��s not that no one is stronger than you; it��s just that you haven��t encountered them.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and beckoned, and sent the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that he refined to the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    Light shone; one beam, two beams ��


    Very soon, the light beams surpassed five.


    At this time, everyone quietened down again, holding their breaths and staring fixedly at the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    The fifth beam of light was still rising!


    These people felt as though they were almost suffocating, as if even more nervous than them competing in alchemy themselves.


    Gradually, the fifth light beam rose to more than half!


    Same as Nation Teacher, upper fifth grade!


    The sound of hearts shattering seemed to be able to be heard all around.


    However, the light beam did not stop rising!


    The fifth beam of light was full very soon.


    However, it reached the sixth light beam without the least bit of suspense!


    ��Sixth grade! My God, a one point heavenly alchemist refined a sixth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! Crazy! It��s too crazy! I-It��s still rising!��


    The clamoring voices rose and ebbed, lingering on incessantly!


    That rising beam of light continuously refreshed their understanding!


    From being impossible to possible.


    From being possible to surpassing Nation Teacher.


    From surpassing Nation Teacher to crushing Nation Teacher!


    Progressing step by step, pressing harder with each step!


    A one point affinity ascender had created too many miracles within this short time!


    The light beam did not stop rising.


    From lower sixth grade to middle sixth grade, and then to upper sixth grade!


    Very soon, it closed in on the great hurdle of seventh grade!


    Everyone was almost asphyxiating. Their eyes were glued on the light beam, wanting to know when it would stop!


    The rising speed of the light beam began to slow down.


    Finally, it arrived before the juncture of seventh grade!


    Then, the light beam was like a stream of water that spilled over, breaking through the great hurdle of seventh grade.


    Seventh grade!


    ��S-Seventh grade! A seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! My God, I��ve never seen before such a high-quality Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill in my lifetime!��


    ��Really blinded my dog eyes! I actually thought that this ascender was a piece of trash!��


    ��Forget about Eastward Country; even in the entire True Yang Heavenly Domain, seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills are also seldom-seen, right?��


    �� ��


    The light beam stopped at middle seventh grade in the end.


    Ye Yuan looked at the light beam and heaved a slight sigh, muttering under his breath: ��Just middle seventh grade? Indeed, there��s still a very long way to go!��


    Clearly, he felt quite regrettable.


    This was already his current limit.


    To him, not reaching peak ninth grade was not considered a success at all.


    The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was the most basic heavenly pill. If even the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill could not reach grand completion, how could the road in the future be smooth?


    High-rise buildings were raised from the ground up!


    Ye Yuan had never relaxed his pursuit in alchemy before.


    It was precisely this kind of stringent pursuit that was close to freakish that let him have today��s accomplishments.


    Actually, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was really too simple for Ye Yuan.


    But, because of the constraints of affinity, he had not been able to achieve grand completion for a long time.


    His instinct training still had not reached perfection.


    It was just that when his words fell into the ears of bystanders, the posturing value increased infinitely.


    Lin Lan��s face turned black, wishing to swing a slap over.


    This posturing was too obvious, right?


    Many onlookers were also extremely unhappy inwardly.


    Middle seventh grade, this was already outrageously strong, alright?


    But no one jumped out anymore at this time.


    Fine, you��re amazing; posture however you like!


    Actually, it was just the difference in worldview that led to a difference in understanding.


    The things that you flaunted were merely other people��s daily life.


    Although Ye Yuan was an ascender and was even still a newcomer in the cultivation of heavenly pills, his pursuit of Alchemy Dao was not what these people could understand at all.


    He was just speaking his mind.


    ��Lord Nation Teacher, can the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that this Ye refined still enter your arcane sights?�� Ye Yuan responded lightly.


    Lin Lan��s expression changed. But without waiting for him to speak, Ye Yuan continued, ��The pill has been refined too. Isn��t it time for Nation Teacher to fulfill the origin divinity contract?��


    Lin Lan��s pupils constricted, he did not expect that he really lost!


    Lost completely and utterly!


    A grade two heavenly alchemist actually lost to a one point affinity ascender!


    He had never even thought about such a thing before.


    But now, at this point, he wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    He, the exalted nation teacher, Eastward alchemy path��s �� former number one person, actually had to apologize to the Tang Family!


    He clenched his jaws tightly and said in a solemn voice, ��Those who attacked just now, cut off an arm yourselves and kowtow and apologize to the Tang Family father and son!��


    ��Nation Teacher! W-We-!��


    Lin Lan��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Why? Want this nation teacher to do it personally?��


    Those few guards who attacked were practically all upper Lesser Sublime Heaven, their strength rather formidable.


    Making them cut off an arm, they were naturally unwilling.


    But at this time, it was not up to them anymore as well.

 Chapter 2551 - Ye Yuan’s Business Sense

    ��B-Brother Tang, w-we were wrong. Please forgive us!��


    A bunch of people knelt down before Tang Jinhua father and son.


    These guards had already become one-armed men, but they still had to endure the severe pain to kowtow and admit their fault to the Tang Family father and son.


    Looking at the group of guards in front of them who lowered their heads in admission of their crime, Tang Jinhua father and son felt very liberated.


    None of these people went easy when they attacked just now.


    If not for Second Prince and Master Yun arriving in time, they might have already been beaten to death!


    The anger was pretty much vented. Tang Jinhua was just about to open his mouth and speak, but heard Ye Yuan suddenly point at Xie Hua and said quietly, ��You, did you attack just now?��


    Xie Hua��s entire body trembled, his expression changing wildly.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Looks like you attacked too! Why? Are you more special than them?��


    Xie Hua immediately broke out in cold sweat and said fearfully, ��I-I��m Nation Teacher��s disciple! Master, I ����


    Lin Lan��s gaze turned dark and he said, ��Ye Yuan, give this nation teacher face and spare his arm. This nation teacher will make him kowtow and apologize for his crime to the Tang Family, and I will show additional generous thanks!��


    To a heavenly alchemist, severing an arm was equivalent to losing one��s alchemy career, equivalent to losing all glory!


    These guards�� strengths were still there.


    But it would be doubly difficult for Xie Hua to want to refine pills again!


    Ye Yuan grinned and said coolly, ��How much is your face worth?��


    Lin Lan��s expression changed. Everyone sucked in a cold breath.


    Even Second Prince and Lu Yun also broke out in cold sweat.


    This was offending Nation Teacher to the core!


    Of course, this was because they did not understand Ye Yuan.


    He was actually a very amicable person. But don��t touch his reverse-scale!


    Once his bottom-line was crossed, even if you were the Jade Emperor, he would not give face either!


    The Tang Family father and son getting abused innocently, this was his bottom-line!


    If he did it, he would have to pay the price!


    Pleading?


    It did not exist!


    Lin Lan said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, are you trying to fall out completely with this nation teacher?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what if yes?��


    Lin Lan laughed from extreme fury and said, ��Good! Very good! It��s really been a long time since anyone has dared to treat this nation teacher like this in this Eastward Country! You��re very good!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Alright, stop posturing! You haven��t even passed your own hurdle yet!��


    Lin Lan��s face turned black, and he almost vomited blood.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Why? Are you going to tear up the origin divinity contract? Our contract includes that whoever took action will cut off an arm!��


    If Ye Yuan was willing, he could naturally exempt Xie Hua��s punishment.


    But he was not willing. This would be Lin Lan violating the origin divinity contract, the consequences were extremely serious.


    Lin Lan��s entire body shook and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Xie Hua, cut off your arm!��


    ��M-Master!�� Xie Hua was almost crying.


    ��Master asked you to sever your arm, didn��t you hear it?�� Lin Lan practically roared it out.


    Xie Hua had a look of despair, but he still refused to sever his arm.


    Lin Lan frowned and immediately turned into an afterimage, arriving in front of Xie Hua.


    Puchi!


    One of Xie Hua��s arms was actually forcibly torn off by Lin Lan.


    Lin Lan suddenly turned around, glared at Ye Yuan fiercely, and said, ��Are you satisfied?��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he said, ��Doesn��t matter whether I��m satisfied or not. This is what he deserves!��


    Lin Lan��s eyes were full of killing intent and he said in a cold voice, ��Go! Kneel down and apologize!��


    Xie Hua almost passed out from the pain. But he did not dare to defy Lin Lan��s order and could only come before the Tang Family father and son, and kowtowed in apology.


    The Tang Family father and son exchanged glances and actually felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.


    The delight from before already turned into alarm and horror.


    Ye Yuan was too ruthless, this was not leaving any leeway in the slightest!


    ��Relax! If you can��t even withstand this bit of spectacle, don��t follow me in the future! If you guys feel that your anger isn��t vented, there��s no harm in killing a few for fun!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The Tang Family father and son trembled all over and steeled their hearts, immediately feeling much tougher.


    Ye Yuan was really too domineering!


    They could not lose face either!


    The Tang Family already had no path of retreat, there was only following Ye Yuan all the way.


    Furthermore, following someone who was loyal to friends like Ye Yuan seemed to be a pretty good choice too!


    It was just that in the eyes of the onlookers, Ye Yuan was a complete and utter lunatic!


    If enmity was not settled amicably, there would be no end to it!


    Offending Nation Teacher to the core in Eastward Country, what benefit was there?


    Ye Yuan��s gaze looked toward Lin Lan, and he said with a faint smile, ��Lord Nation Teacher, it��s your turn!��


    The killing intent in Lin Lan��s chest currently billowed to the sky, and he was long already overwhelmed with rage.


    But he was restraint by the origin divinity contract and did not dare to make a move at all.


    His eyes were fixed on Ye Yuan, and he opened his mouth and said, ��This nation teacher asks you one last time, are you really going to offend this nation teacher to the core?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you must think of it this way, then let me tell you, yes!��


    Lin Lan��s two eyes almost narrowed into a slit.


    Suddenly, he turned around, arrived before the Tang Family father and son, gave a deep bow, and said, ��Gentlemen, I��m sorry!��


    Finished saying this, he did not wait for the Tang Family father and son to agree, and he was going to turn around and leave. ��Let��s go!��


    ��Wait!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Boom!


    Lin Lan��s aura instantly rose to the peak, and he glared at Ye Yuan and said, ��Brat, do you really think that this nation teacher doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    Ye Yuan laughed and said, ��Nation Teacher is advanced in age already. Your temper is still so bad! This Ye doesn��t have other meaning. It��s just that seeing so many people with severed arms, I can��t help but want to solicit some business.��


    Finished saying, he said smilingly to those guards with severed arms, ��Gentlemen, the Tang Family will launch an exclusive Jasper Regeneration Pill within five years! If you all want to recover your severed arm, remember to come and patronize the Tang Family��s business!��


    Those guards trembled all over, looking at Ye Yuan with hopeful faces.


    They were no strangers to the name Jasper Regeneration Pill.


    In reality, this pill formula was not Gu Mao��s exclusive pill formula.


    At least, there was this pill formula in Lin Lan��s hands.


    But no one could refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill in Eastward Country!


    Nation Teacher could not either!


    If that the refining difficulty of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was entry-level, then the refining difficulty of the Jasper Regeneration Pill was demon-level!


    The complexity of this heavenly pill exceeded imaginations.


    It was hard for ordinary grade two heavenly alchemists to refine it too.


    Lin Lan sneered and said, ��What a joke! With just the likes of you, you can refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill within five years?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Lin Lan with a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Lord Nation Teacher, I feel that your gambling integrity is pretty good. Why not, let��s make another bet? I��ll give you another chance, if I can��t refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill within five years, I��ll be at your disposal, how about it?��


    ��I ���� Lin Lan��s words reached his mouth and were forcibly swallowed back.


    This ascender in front of him was seriously too bizarre!


    Who knew whether he could really refine it within five years or not!


    ��Ha, if you don��t dare to bet, don��t talk nonsense here!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    Lin Lan exploded!


    He said in a great rage, ��Brat, this nation teacher will make this bet with you! If you can��t refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill within five years, this nation teacher will definitely make you die very horribly!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was amused and said, ��Okay! If I can refine it, why don��t you give this position of nation teacher up to me? How about it?��

 Chapter 2552 - Highly Popular!

    ��If you can really refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill, it will mean that your strength is above this nation teacher��s! So what if I let you be the nation teacher?�� Lin Lan said with a cold smile.


    There was a gap of 108,000 miles between the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and the Jasper Regeneration Pill.


    As a grade two heavenly alchemist, he was also unable to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill to this day. This was sufficient to indicate a problem.


    It was true that Ye Yuan��s talent was strong, but what he displayed just now, he had clearly already reached his limit.


    This indicated that the shortcoming of affinity still had an impact on Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, it was not small!


    Wanting to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill within a short five years was simply a fool��s talk!


    Being enraged, Lin Lan just wanted to doom Ye Yuan to death.


    Therefore, he bet with Ye Yuan again!


    The two made an origin divinity contract, stunning everyone present.


    This Ye Yuan really desired to see the world plunged into chaos!


    ��Huhu, Lord Nation Teacher, thank you very much for your generosity!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Lin Lan sneered and said, ��You just pray that you don��t end up in this nation teacher��s hands!��


    Finished talking, Lin Lan left with the large group of troops.


    A ransacking operation on a grand and spectacular scale actually ended in such a manner, making people��s jaws drop.


    Tang Yu father and son stumbled their way in front of Ye Yuan. Tang Yu said gratefully, ��Thank you very much, Big Brother!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You already called me as you big brother, how can I ignore the Tang Family��s affairs? Alright, you are already injured until like this. Hurry up and go back and nurse your injuries!��


    But Tang Yu did not leave, having an appearance of wanting to speak but swallowing the words back.


    Ye Yuan knew what he meant and said smilingly, ��You��re worried that I can��t refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill?��


    Tang Yu was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, a mere Jasper Regeneration Pill, how can it stump me, Ye Yuan?��


    Lu Yun came up and said, ��Young Friend Ye, you��re also treating it too trivially! This Jasper Regeneration Pill, even grade two heavenly alchemists can��t refine it. I��m afraid that it��s unrealistic for you to want to refine it within five years!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Grade two heavenly alchemist? Wasn��t that grade two heavenly alchemist just defeated at my hands too?��


    Everyone exchanged glances and could not help being speechless.


    �� ��


    ��What did you say?! Nation Teacher �� lost? This �� How is this possible?�� When Eldest Prince heard the news, he was shocked until he jumped up.


    This news was seriously too shocking.


    When his subordinate recounted the process, Eldest Prince was speechless for a long time.


    How much thought and effort had he expended before getting Nation Teacher to take action against the Tang Family?


    In the end, Nation Teacher actually suffered a crushing defeat!


    Before this, Eldest Prince was extremely proud of himself with regards to this hand of cards.


    In this imperial city, who else could save someone from under Nation Teacher��s hands?


    Yet, Nation Teacher was defeated!


    Defeated so thoroughly!


    The plan that he expended countless efforts to make was ruined just like that.


    Eldest Prince waved his hand and chased everyone out.


    A gray-robed old man walked out from behind the curtain.


    Eldest Prince let out a sigh and said, ��Forget it! At any rate, Nation Teacher clashed with Old Second! It��s simply impossible for that Ye Yuan to win this five-year agreement! At that time, take care of Old Second again! Master Yu, wonder what��s your opinion about it?��


    This gray-robed old man was called Huang Zhaoyu, Eldest Prince��s master.


    Rather than saying this battle for the throne was the struggle between Eldest Prince and Second Prince, might as well say that it was the battle of magics between these two Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums.


    Huang Zhaoyu said, ��Five-year agreement, it��s naturally good if Nation Teacher that side can win. But you have to keep other cards in reserve too!��


    Eldest Prince said in surprise, ��Master Yu, this is impossible, right? A one point heavenly alchemist is indeed incredibly shocking. But there��s no comparison between the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and Jasper Regeneration Pill at all! The Jasper Regeneration Pill is something that even Nation Teacher can��t refine.��


    Huang Zhaoyu smiled and said, ��Before this, wasn��t there no one who thought that Ye Yuan could win too? But what about the final result?


    Eldest Prince choked and actually had nothing to say in reply.


    Huang Zhaoyu said, ��If you want that position of emperor, you have to consider everything that you do! It isn��t that you can sleep in peace after becoming emperor! Eastward Country isn��t an otherworldly paradise, there are powerful enemies casting covetous eyes all around, and there��s also the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, this leviathan above it. A single misstep and it will be the outcome of the country being ruined and the home lost! Do you think that becoming the emperor is so easy? These few years, which day was His Majesty not wary with extreme caution, akin to treading on thin ice? Otherwise, how would the two of you have this chance to compete for this position of emperor?��


    Eldest Prince��s eyes sank slightly, immediately feeling a strong pressure.


    Indeed, compared to Royal Father, they were still much more inexperienced.


    He gave a bow toward Huang Zhaoyu and said, ��Master Yu, please give guidance!��


    Huang Zhaoyu nodded and said, ��I don��t think that Ye Yuan can win either. But this Ye Yuan isn��t simple! How cunning is old man Lu Yun? How could he make a losing proposition? Don��t you forget what their bet is! If, I say if, that Ye Yuan really wins, he might very likely become the nation teacher! A heavenly alchemist who can refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill, even His Majesty isn��t willing to offend either!��


    Eldest Prince��s pupils constricted, he really had not thought about this possibility.


    If Master Yu��s words came true, then he would be in danger!


    ��Master Yu, this ���� Eldest Prince said nervously.


    Huang Zhaoyu said, ��So, the first thing that you have to do now, is to investigate this Ye Yuan! The more detailed, the better! Only by knowing yourself and the enemy, can you fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat!��


    Eldest Prince deeply felt that way too and nodded in response and said, ��Then what about the second thing?��


    Huang Zhaoyu said, ��Those few from the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect have already become overlords! Even if you ascend to the throne in the future, you won��t be able to bypass them too! If they don��t nod their heads, you have no chance! Therefore, you must forge a good relationship with them! With their support, even His Majesty has to think thrice too! Only then, will there be no danger of anything going wrong!��


    Eldest Prince��s eyes became brighter and brighter, having a feeling of dispelling the clouds and seeing the bright moon!


    �� ��


    The news of Nation Teacher being defeated instantly swept across the entire city!


    Nation Teacher was defeated!


    Nation Teacher actually lost to an ascender!


    Furthermore, it was even an ascender who only had one point affinity!


    This incident was seriously too explosive.


    The entire imperial city was discussing this matter.


    ��You guys don��t know this, but everyone treated that ascender as a clown! But in the end, when the Cloud Mount Mother Stone determined his pill as seventh grade, everyone was stunned!��


    ��Is it real or not? Is a one point affinity really so incredible?��


    ��Absolutely true! So many people saw it, can it still be fake? Heh, middle seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! The Tang Family is going to rise up! Just based on a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the Tang Family can overwhelm all the families in the imperial city!��


    ��Now that you said this, I really have to go to the Tang Family to take a look!��


    �� ��


    In the main streets and alleyways, this scene could be seen everywhere.


    A one point heavenly alchemist was an extremely sensational thing in itself.


    Coupled with seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, plus Nation Teacher Lin Lan��s crushing defeat, bowing in apology, it would cause a stir even if you did not want it to!


    The Tang Family became the most popular family all at once.


    The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that Ye Yuan refined became the most popular heavenly pill in the entire city!


    Each one was sold at a sky-high price!

 Chapter 2553 - Ninth Grade Golden Pill!

    A Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, as the name suggests, it was the heavenly pill that consolidated one��s foundation and nurtured one��s essence.


    It was the foundational medicinal pill among heavenly pills, but it was also one of the most important medicinal pills.


    At the beginning of cultivation, whether the foundation was good or bad, it had a direct relationship with one��s future achievements.


    The higher the quality of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the more solid the foundation of the martial artist would naturally be.


    On the markets, the price of an upper third grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was already very considerable. It could be sold for 50 heavenly crystals.


    One had to know, one heavenly crystal could let an ordinary person live for as long as a year in the imperial city!


    A fourth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the price was directly double!


    Even the price of the worst lower fourth grade heavenly pill had to reach 100 heavenly crystals too.


    As for a fifth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, it had to be sold for at least 500 heavenly crystals.


    Of course, this was just in theory.


    Lin Lan had not taken action to refine Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills for many years already. It was naturally impossible to want to see fifth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills.


    Therefore, fifth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills were basically just a legend.


    Then, the scarcity of seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills could be imagined.


    Furthermore, when the quality reached seventh grade, it would tend to go from a quantitative change to qualitative change. The heavenly pill would often have some inconceivable fringe effects to develop the human body��s potential.


    Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that Ye Yuan refined became a sought-after item in an instant.


    Each seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that the Tang Family put out was often hiked to a sky-high price of ten thousand heavenly crystals!


    Many martial artists simply shrank back at the sight of it!


    But there was no choice either. Cultivation was something that burnt money to begin with.


    Therefore, the strong grew stronger and the weak grew weaker.


    And the popularity of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill also drove the various businesses of the Tang Family.


    The Tang Family made a lot of money.


    Even Second Prince could not sit still anymore!


    Lu Yun brought Second Prince and paid a visit to ask for pills!


    ��Younger Brother Tang Yu, I say, this prince has treated you pretty well these few years, right? In a while, when Master Ye exits seclusion, you have to put in a good word for me!�� Second Price said with earnest.


    Now, even Second Prince��s term of address for Tang Yu changed.


    Calling younger brother, the tone carried currying favor.


    This kind of attitude was unimaginable in the past.


    What kind of status did Second Prince have and how proud was he? How could he address a measly little family��s young master as a brother?


    But now, everything changed.


    Tang Yu could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion, feeling that when he was forced to call ��Big Brother�� back then, it was really the wisest decision in his life!


    ��Huhu, Second Prince Your Highness, don��t need to worry! Actually, you don��t need to beg me, Big Brother is most loyal to friends! Back then, Master Yun stood firmly on his side. Just based on this, you won��t go without a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! Furthermore, this time, Big Brother even made me invite Younger Sister Xuezhen. There��s likely to be a big play leaving seclusion this time!�� Tang Yu said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion this time had been a while again.


    Before going into a retreat, Ye Yuan specially instructed Tang Yu to invite Yang Xuezhen over.


    Clearly, there were benefits to give her.


    Ye Yuan refined so many Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills previously and did not even give it to his own people.


    Very clearly, this was saving the even better things for his own people!


    Eighth grade?


    Even thinking about it felt a little exciting!


    So many years have passed, the present Yang Family also could not compare with the past anymore.


    With the Tang Family father and son��s guidance and support, the Yang Family was also one of the few large family clans of the imperial city now; enough to rank in the top five.


    Hearing Tang Yu��s words, Second Prince��s body trembled all over and he said with pleasant surprise, ��Is this true?��


    Tang Yu nodded and said, ��It��s true��


    Right then, Xiao Qi ran in, gave a bow to everyone, and said, ��Master Ye has exited seclusion. Everyone, please go over!��


    Everyone��s mind could not help trembling, sprinting over.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Tang Yu said with a look of excitement, ��Big Brother! Is there some good stuff this time?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, you guessed it again! That��s right, there��s indeed good stuff!��


    The moment Tang Yu heard, he was overjoyed and said, ��Big Brother, could it be that �� you broke through to eighth grade?��


    Ye Yuan took out an exquisite wooden box, handed it to Tang Yu, and said smilingly, ��This is yours!��


    Then, he passed Yang Xuezhen a wooden box and said, ��Xuezhen, this is yours!��


    Subsequently, Tang Jinhua, Lu Yun, Jiang Yu, also each received a wooden box.


    Only Second Prince did not.


    Depressed!


    Seeing Second Prince being coy and shy there like a little wife, Tang Yu could not resist asking, ��Big Brother, Second Prince has helped the Tang Family out considerably these few years. Can you �� also give him a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?��


    With Second Prince��s identity, he had naturally eaten Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills before too. Furthermore, the grade was not low.


    Lower fifth grade!


    But, what did lower fifth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills count for in front of seventh and eighth grade?


    As long as he could swallow a seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, he might be able to breakthrough to grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven very quickly!


    Ye Yuan gave Second Prince a glance, thought about it, and also took a wooden box and handed it over to him.


    Tang Yu could not quite hold back his excitement and said, ��Big Brother, can I open it to take a look?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Go on!��


    Tang Yu chuckled and opened the box very carefully.


    The slit opened up in the box and a dazzling golden light seeped out of the crack.


    Apart from Ye Yuan, everyone present trembled all over, their eyes revealing extremely shocked expressions.


    ��Golden light! N-Ninth grade golden pill! C-Could this be a ninth grade golden pill?�� Lu Yun cried out involuntarily.


    Hearing ��ninth grade golden pill�� these four words, Tang Yu��s hand almost trembled and threw away the box.


    These four words were too magical!


    Those were the four words that existed in legends!


    It was merely just legends!


    When heavenly pills entered ninth grade, they did not need to use the Cloud Mount Mother Stone to test it anymore.


    Because a golden-colored medicinal pill was the hallmark of ninth grade!


    However, everyone knew about ninth grade golden pills, but no one had ever seen one before.


    Because nobody could refine a ninth grade golden pill at all!


    Forget about a tiny little Eastward Country, even in the entire True Yang Heavenly Domain, it was unheard of that anyone could refine a ninth grade golden pill too!


    Even the most, most simple Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    When heavenly pills reached seventh and eighth grade this level, sometimes, it was not what ��effort�� this word could improve anymore.


    This level reached the point to compete in talent!


    Regardless of which profession, wanting to get started, you could do it as long as you put in enough effort.


    But, if you wanted to reach the pinnacle in this line and promote to the ranks of masters, you needed sufficient talent!


    And wanting to refine a ninth grade golden pill, the requirement for talent was almost freakish!


    Tang Yu thought before that Ye Yuan could break through to eighth grade.


    But he never dreamed that Ye Yuan could reach ninth grade!


    He never thought that he would actually have a chance to consume a ninth grade golden pill!


    ��Big Brother, this �� this ���� Someone who was as eloquent as Tang Yu was actually somewhat tongue-tied and choking at this time!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This is what you deserve! These few Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills, yours and Xuezhen��s are upper ninth grade. Brother Lu and Jiang Yu��s are middle ninth grade. Tang Jinhua��s is lower ninth grade.��


    Second Prince was taken aback and said, ��Master Ye, then �� what about mine?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Lower seventh grade!��


    Second Prince��s face turned black, and he almost threw the wooden box on the ground.


    This treatment was also too far off, right?

 Chapter 2554 - Cleansing the Marrow!

    Originally, obtaining a seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, Second Prince was already satisfied.


    But now, with the others serving as a foil, seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was useless.


    Unappetizing and yet not bad enough to be thrown away!


    ��Why? Don��t want it? If you don��t want it, you can return it to me.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Second Prince hurriedly took it back, thickened his skin, and said, ��Want! Why won��t I want it! H-Haha!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Why I gave you seventh grade, you have a score in your heart! If not looking at the account of Brother Lu��s face, forget about seventh grade; there won��t even be first grade! Since you gambled on me, then you should have the most basic trust. I don��t like people who only pursue interests!��


    Finished saying, he turned to Lu Yun again and said, ��Brother Lu, this heavenly pill is for you. If you don��t want it, you can destroy it. But I don��t want it to be used on others.��


    Lu Yun��s expression changed, and he nodded slightly.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan had already seen through his intentions.


    He was currently planning in his heart to give his own ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to Second Prince after returning.


    Second Prince was depressed!


    At this time, he wished to give himself two tight slaps.


    Why did he have to speak out of turn at that time?


    His mouth really owed a beating!


    One sentence and two grades were gone!


    Really expensive!


    But after sending everyone away, Ye Yuan took out a wooden box.


    A golden Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was placed inside.


    It was just that the aura of this heavenly pill was different from the rest.


    It was a golden pill but did not have a dazzling light.


    The ninth grade golden pills that Ye Yuan gave Tang Yu and the others were all dazzling to the eyes, their aura imposing.


    But this one was extremely restrained.


    Restrained like it was not a ninth grade golden pill!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered and he muttered to himself, ��Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, I finally reached the realm of grand completion! Wonder what kind of effect this grand completion realm ninth grade golden pill will have!


    This Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was not an ordinary ninth grade golden pill, but a ninth grade golden pill that returned to one��s original simplicity after reaching the realm of grand completion!


    A year had already passed since the wager with Lin Lan.


    This one year, Ye Yuan did nothing and put all of his energy into the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Finally, the closed-seclusion this time, he advanced the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to grand completion!


    These few years, through the legacies that Gu Mao left behind as well as the exchanges with heavenly alchemists such as Jiang Yu, Ye Yuan discovered the special aspects of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    The most basic heavenly pill but also the most consolidated heavenly pill!


    Foundation was the root of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    As the saying went: a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step, this foundation was the step!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan spent decades of effort all on this one medicinal pill, the intention was self-explanatory.


    Cultivating the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to the realm of grand completion, when Ye Yuan attempted to refine other medicinal pills, it would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort!


    The most basic refining technique of heavenly pills, a very large part of it was in this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    When the heavenly pill entered the abdomen, a warm current flowed in the meridians.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s mind shook.


    He felt that there was something seeping out little by little.


    This grand completion Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was like a high-pressure hydraulic pump, scouring his meridians continuously.


    And this force even penetrated into his bone marrow.


    Cleansing the marrow!


    Advancing to Heavenly Stratum, the human body seemed to have reached the extreme.


    The difficulty of wanting to cleanse the marrow again was too high.


    But this grand completion Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill did it!


    No idea how long had passed either, there was an additional pile of black mud around Ye Yuan. A foul smell greeted the nose.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, shaking all the grime on his body away.


    Then, he flicked his sleeves grandly and cleared this pile of black mud away.


    Ye Yuan felt wild ecstasy in his heart. He felt like he was completely reborn!


    This cleansing of the marrow did not have much improvement on his strength.


    But it seemed to make him a little closer to this heaven and earth.


    Although, it was just that tiny bit!


    He immediately shouted, ��Xiao Qi, have Tang Yu fetch me the pre-natal cloud stone!��


    With Ye Yuan suddenly wanting the pre-natal cloud stone, Tang Yu father and son and Jiang Yu were both alarmed.


    All of them arrived at the closed-seclusion place, wondering what happened.


    One point this sort of thing, did it still need to be measured again?


    ��What happened, Big Brother? Why did you suddenly want to test affinity?�� Tang Yu asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan said rather agitated, ��It��s nothing. I just want to test it!��


    Tang Yu rolled his eyes and said, ��Big Brother, affinity is innate. It can never be changed! Even if you try again, it��s impossible for affinity to increase too!��


    While talking, Ye Yuan already placed his palm on the pre-natal cloud stone.


    The pre-natal cloud stone emitted a faint light!


    That was right, it was a faint light!


    If not for being in this dark room, it would have been almost impossible to detect it!


    But it was precisely this bit of light that made Tang Yu��s heart tremble fiercely!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan tested his affinity, he saw with his own eyes that there was no reaction at all!


    Outside all said that Ye Yuan was one point affinity, but actually, Ye Yuan��s affinity did not reach one point at all.


    It was virtually close to zero!


    But now, the pre-natal cloud stone actually gave off light!


    Tang Yu��s eyes nearly popped out and he said in shock, ��This �� how is this possible? Affinity �� Big Brother, you �� actually have affinity now?��


    Jiang Yu also felt his breath. Staring fixedly at the pre-natal cloud stone, he cried out in surprise, ��It moved! The scale moved! I-It surpassed one point!��


    Ye Yuan��s affinity was slowly rising.


    First was surpassing one point. Then, it slowly passed two points.


    Finally, it stopped at three points!


    ��Three points!��


    Tang Yu cried out strangely and almost jumped up. He exclaimed in surprise, ��Big Brother! Y-Y-Your affinity r-rose to three points!��


    In his agitation, Tang Yu��s tongue was knotted when he was talking.


    Three points affinity was naturally nothing.


    In fact, it did not even cross the threshold.


    But Ye Yuan rose from close to zero!


    Ye Yuan had a bright smile. He was very satisfied with this number.


    Three points, even to the most rubbish heavenly alchemist, they turned their noses up at it in disdain too.


    But, Ye Yuan yearned for it!


    The handicap of affinity on his alchemy was seriously too great.


    Even if he cultivated the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to the realm of grand completion, he still felt that the road ahead was vague.


    But, three points was absolutely a qualitative change to Ye Yuan!


    Previously, Ye Yuan was a complete and utter blind man; unable to see anything.


    But now, there was finally a faint light that entered his eyes!


    This step was absolutely a vital step to his path of alchemy!


    More importantly, affinity could be improved!


    ��Heh, didn��t expect to actually have such a harvest. What an unexpected surprise!��


    Ye Yuan had a look of excitement and immediately practiced alchemy.


    He was already too impatient to wait!


    Sure enough, the moment he started, it was immediately a lot easier!


    Although it was still a mass of chaos in the heavenly medicines, by relying on his powerful alchemy instinct, it was more than ten times easier for Ye Yuan to refine pills than before!


    A ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was refined by him very quickly.


    ��Miracle! A true miracle! I didn��t expect that affinity can actually be increased! Three points are nothing to others, but to Younger Brother Ye, it��s simply akin to adding wings to a tiger!�� Jiang Yu exclaimed.

 Chapter 2555 - Waiting for Your Apology!

    ��Xiao Qi pays respect to His Highness, Eldest Prince!��


    In the private room of a wine shop, Xiao Qi kowtowed respectfully to Eldest Prince.


    Eldest Prince smiled and said, ��Get up, you��re my sister-in-law now. You don��t need to be so formal!��


    Xiao Qi slowly got up and said respectfully, ��Xiao Qi thanks Eldest Prince for taking care of Big Sister!��


    Xiao Qi��s elder sister worked as a maid in the royal palace.


    But now, she became Eldest Prince��s concubine. This was equivalent to transforming from a swallow into a phoenix.


    This favor, Xiao Qi had no choice but to accept it.


    Eldest Prince had always wanted to make his way into the Tang Family and spy on the progress of Ye Yuan��s cultivation.


    Who would have expected that the Tang Family had long already become a monolithic block? Even if he made his way in, he could not come into contact with Ye Yuan too.


    Later, Eldest Prince found another path and actually discovered that Xiao Qi��s elder sister was a palace maid in the palace. Furthermore, her life was not easy.


    Hence, he simply married Xiao Qi��s elder sister!


    Eldest Prince knew that Xiao Qi was in charge of serving Ye Yuan.


    Once this layer of relationship was established, would he still be scared of not knowing Ye Yuan��s movements?


    ��Xiao Qi, you��re a clever person. You should know what this prince wants! This prince can let your sister live. Of course, I can also make your sister die! Her life and death, it lies with only a thought from you!�� Eldest Prince said with a faint smile.


    With regards to an ant like Xiao Qi, Eldest Prince could not be bothered to talk rubbish at all.


    Threatening was the best weapon!


    Xiao Qi��s expression changed slightly, and she said respectfully, ��Xiao Qi understands! I wonder what Eldest Prince wants to know?��


    Eldest Prince smiled and said, ��Three years have already passed since Ye Yuan and Nation Teacher��s wager! I want to know which heavenly medicines has Ye Yuan formulated in these three years?��


    Xiao Qi was responsible for allocating the heavenly medicines that Ye Yuan needed.


    Therefore, whatever medicinal pills Ye Yuan was refining, one would naturally know through Xiao Qi directly.


    Xiao Qi��s gaze flickered and she said, ��In the first year or so, Master Ye has basically been refining all Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills! As for the next two years, he asked for the Dragonscale Flower, Heavenly Star Origin, Purplecloud Drifting Incense ����


    With regards to the heavenly medicines that Ye Yuan requested for, Xiao Qi naturally enumerated it like her family��s treasures, listing them one by one.


    However, the Xie Hua beside Eldest Prince started frowning.


    After Xiao Qi finished speaking, Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said, ��Are you sure that he only wanted these heavenly medicines?��


    Xiao Qi nodded and said, ��How can Xiao Qi dare deceive Eldest Prince and Lord Xie Hua? Actually, not only Your Excellency has this doubt, but the Tang Family is also currently in a state of panic from top to bottom.��


    Xie Hua frowned and said, ��What the hell is this Ye Yuan selling in his gourd?��


    Eldest Prince did not understand alchemy and asked, ��Why? Is there something wrong?��


    Xie Hua said, ��What these heavenly medicines refine are all some basic heavenly pills. In terms of difficulty, they are not much higher than the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill. His Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill has clearly already reached the realm of seventh grade. Yet, he actually still wasted a year��s time on it! At this rate of progress, forget about five years, even if it��s 50 years, it��s also impossible for him to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill!��


    When Eldest Prince heard that, he said in surprise, ��Is this guy courting death? There are still two years remaining. Can he refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill?��


    Xie Hua said, ��This is also the thing that I��m most perplexed about! What on earth does this boy want to do?��


    Eldest Prince smiled and said, ��This is great news to us! Refining a Jasper Regeneration Pill in five years is something impossible in the first place! He only knew how to refine the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill in the past. So he likely doesn��t know how terrifying the Jasper Regeneration Pill is! Now, it��s probably going to be a vicious cycle!��


    Xie Hua thought about it and thought in his heart that there was only this possibility.


    ��You go back then. This king doesn��t need you to do anything either. You just have to report the heavenly medicines that Ye Yuan uses in his cultivation to this prince at all time! Understand?�� Eldest Prince said to Xiao Qi.


    Xiao Qi replied respectfully and withdrew.


    �� ��


    For the next two years, Ye Yuan still did not touch the Jasper Regeneration Pill.


    It was as if he had completely forgotten about this!


    Initially, Ye Yuan refined another batch of grand completion ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill in an attempt to increase his affinity.


    But the effect was not good.


    The second heavenly pill, the effect was drastically reduced.


    After the fifth Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, there was almost no effect anymore.


    In the end, Ye Yuan��s affinity did not reach four points either.


    Putting aside the regret, the improvement of these four points to Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength was all-round.


    When he practiced other basic heavenly pills, his speed was much faster!


    His remaining thought was practically all on studying the basic heavenly pills.


    Even if it was a slightly more advanced heavenly pill, he did not dabble in them in the slightest too.


    Looking as time drew closer little by little, the Tang Family father and son were anxious like ants on a hot pan.


    But they also did not dare to go and disturb Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion.


    On this day, the five-year agreement came to an end. Ye Yuan finally came out of closed-seclusion.


    ��Big Brother! Nation Teacher has already set up the venue at Sky Gathering Establishment and sent someone to invite you over!�� Tang Yu said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Oh, let��s go then.��


    Tang Yu was speechless and said, ��I say, Big Brother, you��ve never touched the Jasper Regeneration Pill��s heavenly medicines in these five years! Forget about the Jasper Regeneration Pill; even some of the higher level heavenly pills, you��ve never dabbled in them too! You��re going over just like this now?��


    Ye Yuan countered with a question, ��Otherwise?��


    Tang Yu gritted his teeth and said, ��Big Brother, I know that you did it for the Tang Family back then! Why not let��s run away together! Let��s drop the Tang Family��s foundation!��


    ��Hahaha, isn��t it too late to only think about running now? Don��t forget, Ye Yuan and Nation Teacher even signed an origin divinity contract!�� Eldest Prince strolled over with a burst of roaring laughter.


    Eldest Prince arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said smilingly, ��Master Ye, this prince came to invite you personally! Today, Royal Father will be there in person to witness your bet! If you win, Royal Father will crown you the position of nation teacher in public! Of course, I don��t think that you have this chance.��


    When the Tang Family father and son heard, their faces could not help changing drastically.


    This scale was too high!


    Once Ye Yuan failed, the Tang Family would be completely finished!


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Oh? Why is that?��


    Eldest Prince laughed and said, ��In these five years, you spent a year to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill bitterly, and then you spent another four years to study other basic heavenly pills. You��ve never even touched high level heavenly pills! This prince wants to know, what basis do you have to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill?��


    When Tang Yu heard that, his expression could not help changing greatly and he cried out in surprise, ��How does Your Highness know so clearly?��


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled and he looked towards Xiao Qi and said in a cold voice, ��Xiao Qi, my Tang Family treated you well! Why did you betray the Tang Family?!��


    Xiao Qi said indifferently, ��The Tang Family is already finished! Do you want us, these servants, to all be buried in death?��


    Tang Yu roared angrily, ��I��ll kill you!��


    However, his figure had just moved when a gust of wind came over, directly sending him flying.


    One move and Tang Yu was seriously injured!


    Huang Zhaoyu, who was behind Eldest Prince, made a move!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold and killing intent immediately arose.


    Huang Zhaoyu smiled faintly and said, ��Young man, don��t need to look at this old man with this sort of eyes! If you succeed today, this old man will naturally pay a visit and apologize! It��s just that you don��t have that chance anymore!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said, ��Is that so? Then this Ye will wait for your apology!��


    Finished speaking, Ye Yuan helped Tang Yu up and brought him along to Sky Gathering Establishment.

 Chapter 2556 - Not Selling to You Anymore!

    In front of Sky Gathering Establishment, it was long already packed until not even water could seep through.


    Five years ago, a one point heavenly alchemist defeated Nation Teacher and caused a great sensation in the entire city!


    Now, the one point heavenly alchemist was going to challenge the Jasper Regeneration Pill that no one could refine, which naturally attracted even more attention.


    Furthermore, this wager even concerned the title of nation teacher!


    ��Five years have passed. I wonder what level of strength that one point heavenly alchemist has reached!��


    ��Heh heh, no matter what level he reached, it��s also impossible to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill!��


    ��A one point heavenly alchemist is indeed heaven-defying, but five years�� time is too short!��


    �� ��


    The vast majority of the people still felt pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    It was not that they did not believe in Ye Yuan��s talent. But that five years�� time was too short.


    Five years were not even enough to learn the rudiments of heavenly pills.


    Even if Ye Yuan could refine a seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, there were a hundred thousand Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills between the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and Jasper Regeneration Pill!


    This disparity was not what a short five years could make up for.


    ��He��s here, he��s here! The one point heavenly alchemist is here!��


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.


    Ye Yuan led the Tang Family��s people and arrived in front of the Sky Gathering Establishment.


    Nation Teacher Lin Lan walked out slowly and said with a smile, ��Master Ye came? Looking at Master Ye��s energetic appearance, victory should be in your grasp, right? I, this old nation teacher, am probably going to have to abdicate!��


    The intel that Eldest Prince grasped, Lin Lan naturally grasped it too.


    Therefore, he already won this bet!


    Regarding the humiliation of the past five years, he was going to return it all to Ye Yuan today!


    ��Yeah, you��re old. It��s time to relinquish your position!�� Ye Yuan followed up.


    Lin Lan did not care either and said with a smile, ��Huhu, flattery, like perfume, should be smelled not swallowed! Refined five years�� worth of basic heavenly pills and never even once touched the Jasper Regeneration Pill. This nation teacher really wants to know what you��ll use to win this nation teacher!��


    ��What?! Refined five years of basic heavenly pills?��


    ��What a joke! What��s the use of basic heavenly pills!��


    ��Goodness gracious, it isn��t true, right? Even if Ye Yuan refined the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill until he shatters the sky, he can��t refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill too!��


    �� ��


    With Lin Lan��s one sentence, the entire crowd directly exploded.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan should have been studying the Jasper Regeneration Pill frantically in the past five years.


    At least, he should be working in this direction too.


    However, he did not!


    Ye Yuan spent five years�� time on merely just basic heavenly pills!


    Basic heavenly pills were entry-level heavenly pills, the basic skill of heavenly alchemists!


    Studying this kind of heavenly pill did not help the Jasper Regeneration Pill at all!


    Which was also to say that this wager was actually just a joke?


    On Sky Gathering Establishment��s second floor, one could have a commanding view of the situation outside.


    A middle-aged man dressed in faint azure long robes was currently standing by the window and looking at everything below.


    This middle-aged man��s gaze brimmed with radiating vigor, full of power and energy, radiating awe without being angry. He was precisely Eastward Country��s emperor, Qiao Kaiyuan!


    The emperor said, ��Old Second, this is the person that you chose? You disappoint Us greatly!��


    At this time, Second Prince was currently standing next to Qiao Kaiyuan.


    Hearing this, he could not help sweating profusely.


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually spent these five years all on basic heavenly pills!


    ��Royal Father, Ye Yuan��s alchemy talent is extremely heaven-defying! As long as give him time, he can definitely surpass Nation Teacher!�� Second Prince gritted his teeth and said.


    Qiao Kaiyuan had both hands behind his back as he said coolly, ��No matter how strong his talent is, it��s also pointless if he doesn��t have the temperament! Ascenders often act in undue confidence of their own ability and look down upon others. Their outcomes are mostly tragic! He��s no exception either! Clearly, he doesn��t have the assurance, but he set a five-year gamble! This kind of person isn��t worth entrusting our future!��


    Second Prince��s cold sweat poured profusely. The emperor��s words were equivalent to sentencing him to death!


    Eldest Prince already went up to the second floor at some point and just happened to hear this, and he could not help being wildly elated in his heart.


    ��Huhu, Royal Father is wise! This boy is conceited and condescending! Winning against Nation Teacher the last time, although he has strength, there was also a lot of luck. But he thought that he already surpassed Nation Teacher. What a joke!�� Eldest Prince said with a laugh.


    Qiao Kaiyuan nodded and said, ��What Yu Qin said is right. A seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is indeed amazing. But it��s also merely just amazing!��


    As he spoke, he already turned around and left the window, and sat down in the room.


    He gave his two sons a glance and said coolly, ��These few years, We have been mentally and physically exhausted and already have the thought of abdicating! Yu Qin is level-headed when doing things and acts after planning things. Apart from this, he even kept the three Jadetrue Heavenly Sect envoys at bay these few years, rendering utmost contributions! We feel at east handing over the country to Yu Qin!��


    Second Prince��s entire body trembled, his gaze revealing a look of despair.


    He did not expect that Royal Father actually directly announced the sentence at this time!


    He lost!


    Eldest Prince was wildly ecstatic in his heart, but the expression on his face was controlled just right.


    When the emperor saw this scene, he became even more certain of his judgment in his heart.


    ��After this matter is over, We will choose a date to announce this matter!�� Qiao Kaiyuan gave the final word.


    Second Prince gritted his teeth and said, ��Royal Father, I �� am unconvinced!��


    Qiao Kaiyuan did not get angry and said coolly, ��Yu Tang, now that things have played out like this, what bargaining chips do you still have in your hand? Nation Teacher has chosen a side. You��re not fated with the envoys. You �� no longer have cards to play from your hand!��


    Second Prince said in a solemn voice, ��No! Royal Father is wrong! If Ye Yuan can win, the nation teacher �� will be mine!��


    Eldest Prince laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Old Second, have you become desperate from losing? Now that it has come to this, could it be that you still feel that Ye Yuan can win? A fellow who refined five years�� worth of basic heavenly pills, you expect him to be able to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill?��


    Second Prince smiled coldly and said, ��My elder brother! The last time, no one was optimistic about him either, right? How can you guarantee that he won��t be able to turn the tables this time?��


    Eldest Prince still wanted to speak, but heard Qiao Kaiyuan say coolly, ��If he can really win, We can retract our order! It��s just that it��s impossible!��


    People did not know that the ownership of Eastward Country��s emperor was decided on this second floor just like that.


    In front of Sky Gathering Establishment, people were all grumbling that Ye Yuan overestimated his own ability.


    Clearly did not have that ability, but insisted on attempting it.


    Beside Lin Lan, Xie Hua laughed loudly and said, ��Ye Yuan, didn��t you say that after five years, you��ll make this Xue come to find you to buy heavenly pills? Now, this Xue is finding you to buy heavenly pills, where��s your heavenly pill? Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��You seem very pleased with yourself!��


    Xie Hua��s expression changed and he changed to a vicious expression and said angrily, ��Of course I��m pleased with myself! You severed my heavenly alchemist path. Now, you also cut off your own way out! Do you think I can not be smug? Hahaha ����


    Xie Hua��s hatred towards Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit less than Lin Lan.


    How glorious a profession was being a heavenly alchemist?


    He had once enjoyed unparalleled glory and was admired by thousands!


    But all these were ruined in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Now, seeing Ye Yuan like this, how could he not be happy?


    However, Ye Yuan just said with a faint smile, ��Is that so? Since you��re so smug, then I won��t be selling my Jasper Regeneration Pill to you anymore!��


    Xie Hua laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Oh no, I��m so scared! Your Jasper Regeneration Pill? Your Jasper Regeneration Pill! Haha, have you refined a Jasper Regeneration Pill before? How hilarious!��

 Chapter 2557 - Your Father will Kick You to Death!

    ��Haha, Master Ye, stop forcing it! The heavenly medicines that you��ve used in your cultivation these few years, we know it like the back of our hands. Forget about the Jasper Regeneration Pill; even if it��s slightly more difficult heavenly pills, you��ve never dabbled in them too. This nation teacher didn��t say things wrongly, right?�� Lin Lan said with a sneer.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��You��re right. I��ve studied more than 20 kinds of heavenly pills in these five years. All of them were basic heavenly pills.��


    There��s nothing that can��t be publicized!


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of hiding these things in the first place.


    It was just that the likes of Eldest Prince and Lin Lan treated it as a big deal.


    However, Ye Yuan admitting it very shamelessly made everyone lose confidence.


    Was the one point heavenly alchemist who had once shone with boundless radiance finally going to fall here?


    Nation Teacher absolutely would not let Ye Yuan off!


    Lin Lan sneered and said, ��Now that it��s come to this, are you still not going to accept your fate?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Why don��t I give it a try? What if I get lucky and refine it?��


    Lin Lan snickered when he heard that and said, ��Lucky? There��s never luck in alchemy! Every bit of quality is true ability! For five years, you��ve never even touched the Jasper Regeneration Pill before. You still want to try your luck to refine it? Dream on!��


    Ye Yuan still smiled and said, ��I��m a lucky guy. Maybe I can really refine it.��


    Lin Lan smiled coldly and said, ��The medicinal cauldron is already prepared. Just try it! Just the likes of you, if you can refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill, this nation teacher will swallow this medicinal cauldron whole!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Lord Nation Teacher, this is what you said!��


    Lin Lan said calmly, ��This nation teacher said it!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and came before the medicinal cauldron.


    Lin Lan��s preparation work was done solidly.


    All of the items for refining the pill were already prepared.


    Ye Yuan picked up a stalk of heavenly medicine and played with it while sizing it up.


    Xie Hua smiled coldly and said, ��Master Ye, haven��t tried your hand at the Jade Moon Orchid, right? With your negligible affinity, can you extract it successfully in one go? Got to be more careful. Don��t ruin it with a careless move, that will be botching it!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and still played with the Jade Moon Orchid.


    The Jade Moon Orchid was one of the Jasper Regeneration Pill��s main medicines and also an extremely hard to extract grade one heavenly medicine.


    Not refining it well would have an impact on the entire refinement of the heavenly pill.


    Many heavenly alchemists could not even complete this step well, there was naturally no talk of refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill.


    This playing took 15 minutes time.


    Xie Hua became impatient and said with a cold snort, ��What? Want to drag the time? Even if you delay until heaven and earth turn old, it��s impossible to refine it too!��


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a cluster of flames suddenly arose, making Xie Hua jump in fright.


    Ye Yuan started!


    As soon as he took action, the hearts of Tang Yu and the rest leaped to their throats.


    There was only one chance!


    Any slip-up was fatal!


    But they were unable to imagine how Ye Yuan, who had never touched the Jasper Regeneration Pill before, was going to not make any mistakes at all in the refining process of such a difficult medicinal pill.


    If nothing else, just talking about the Jade Moon Orchid this hurdle, it was not easy to clear.


    As for the Second Prince upstairs, he was even nervous until he was shaking.


    Ye Yuan��s refinement concerned the fate of his future.


    Whether the bet he made was useful or not would depend on this time!


    If Ye Yuan could replace Lin Lan, he would be able to turn the tables amidst a desperate situation!


    Suddenly, Lin Lan��s entire body trembled and he cried out in surprise, ��H-His affinity increased! This �� How is this possible?��


    Not just Lin Lan, many people noticed it too.


    Ye Yuan��s affinity seemed to be a little stronger than before.


    Although it was not much, it had indeed become stronger!


    ��Impossible, could it be a misconception? How can affinity improve?��


    ��Really seeing ghosts! Does this guy never play cards according to the normal routine? One point affinity can��t refine pills, yet, he can! Affinity can��t be improved, but he could too!��


    ��This guy is simply too heaven-defying, to actually be able to improve even his affinity!��


    �� ��


    Cries of exclamations rose and ebbed. People became even more curious about Ye Yuan.


    All kinds of miracles happened to him alone, it was seriously too dazzling!


    ��Master, a method to increase affinity! If you can obtain it, you��ll definitely be able to improve further!�� Xie Hua said.


    Lin Lan��s gaze also changed from shock to greed.


    Clearly, he was moved!


    The Jade Moon Orchid was being extracted little by little and did not collapse like everyone imagined.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan��s refinement had virtually no flaws. It was completely not like it was his first time refining.


    Xie Hua opened his mouth wide, a look of disbelief all over his face.


    ��This �� How is this possible? H-Hasn��t he never extracted the Jade Moon Orchid before?��


    Lin Lan��s expression became very ugly.


    Ye Yuan��s extraction could be rated as perfect!


    Even he could not do better than Ye Yuan too!


    But it was clearly Ye Yuan��s first time!


    Why?!


    Why was it so perfect!


    Could it be that the intel was wrong?


    Very soon, Ye Yuan finished the extraction of the Jade Moon Orchid.


    He picked up the second stalk of heavenly medicine, Mountain Root Fuyu, and started examining it carefully.


    This time, no one talked badly about him anymore.


    Everyone watched quietly, waiting for Ye Yuan��s performance.


    The extraction difficulty of the Mountain Root Fuyu was even greater than the Jade Moon Orchid!


    Ye Yuan studied it for a full 30 minutes before making a move to extract it.


    Smooth as always!


    Each heavenly medicine afterward, Ye Yuan would look at it for some time.


    Some were long, some were short.


    But the extraction process was smooth.


    Those people watching a joke were utterly dumbfounded!


    Pah!


    Xie Hua flung a slap onto Xiao Qi��s face, directly slapping her until she flew into the air.


    The current Xie Hua was enraged to the extreme. He pointed at Xiao Qi��s nose and cursed, ��Damn thing, you dare lie to Your Father! Didn��t you say that he has never come into contact with the Jasper Regeneration Pill��s heavenly medicines before in these five years?��


    Xiao Qi was slapped until her face swelled up, tears and snort running heavily.


    She said aggrievedly, ��How can this lowly one dare lie to you? H-He really never came into contact with it before!��


    Bang!


    Xie Hua kicked a foot fiercely onto Xiao Qi��s chest and he roared angrily, ��Never?! Never?! Can he refine until like this if he had never done so? Your Father will kick you to death!��


    One kick after another, Xiao Qi was kicked until her eyes rolled back, fresh blood flowing constantly out of her mouth, looking like she was going to kick the bucket.


    But Xie Hua was still furious.


    ��Damn thing, lied to all of us! Come, men! Drag her away for me!�� Xie Hua said angrily.


    When Tang Yu and the rest saw this scene, there was no sympathy in their eyes at all.


    The Tang Family treated Xiao Qi well, but this girl actually betrayed the Tang Family.


    Death couldn��t expiate her sins


    However, they all knew that Xiao Qi did not lie!


    Xiao Qi died very unjustly!


    In these five years, Ye Yuan had never touched these heavenly medicines before!


    The heavenly medicines that the Tang Family prepared for the Jasper Regeneration Pill were still currently lying in the medicine storehouse perfectly well, and had never been touched before!


    They also hoped that Ye Yuan would transfer these heavenly medicines over. But they waited and waited, but it did not happen!


    Therefore, they were very certain that today was Ye Yuan��s first time refining these heavenly medicines!


    However, it was also precisely due to this that the shock in their hearts could not be any greater!


    During the past five years, he never touched these heavenly medicines before, but today he could extract them perfectly.


    How on earth did this guy do it?

 Chapter 2558 - Take Your Life!

    ��Heh, Old Second, this play of yours deceived everybod. It played out really beautifully! As your elder brother, I��m ashamed of my inferiority!�� Eldest Prince looked at Second Prince and said with a cold smile.


    While Second Prince had a blank face, he completely did not know what was going on.


    But he was very thrilled!


    Before Ye Yuan made his move, his heart had leaped to his throat, fearing that Ye Yuan would be a goner with a moment of carelessness.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan seemingly had divine help, refining all of the heavenly medicines in one go!


    ��Royal Brother, it was clearly you who played tricks, but is playing the blame game here! This younger brother is the one who��s ashamed of my inferiority!�� Second Prince similarly smiled coldly as he said.


    ��Humph, you don��t need to be proud of yourself! Extracting heavenly medicines is just the first step! AJasper Regeneration Pill has dozens of heavenly medicine combinations. The complexity isn��t what a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can compare to!�� Eldest Prince said with a cold snort.


    Second Prince did not show weakness in the slightest too and said, ��Big Brother, you��re flustered! Ye Yuan has already created too many miracles. So how do you know whether or not he��ll create a miracle again this time?��


    Emperor Qiao Kaiyuan sat up straight, closing his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to the outside world��s matters.


    He placed all of his energy on the pill refinement.


    Ye Yuan��s understanding of alchemy had always been different from others.


    People tend to pursue higher level medicinal pills, but then they neglected the foundation.


    They thought that by refining higher level medicinal pills, those basic medicinal pills would naturally be mastered.


    Not so!


    This kind of understanding was one-sided!


    In Ye Yuan��s understanding, the foundation was far more important than high level medicinal pills.


    Similarly a grade one heavenly pill, no matter how complicated, it was also composed of some basic refining techniques.


    As long as one thoroughly grasped these basic things, refining high difficulty heavenly pills was merely something that happened naturally with ease.


    In these five years, although he had been studying basic heavenly pills, he had mastered the basics of grade one heavenly pills extremely well.


    In the following years, Ye Yuan studied more than 20 kinds of basic heavenly pills.


    Each type, he practiced it to the realm of grand completion ninth grade!


    If let people knew about these things, it would surely cause a huge uproar.


    But it did not matter if people did not know.


    This kind of strength would be fully released when refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill!


    Of course, being able to reach this step in such a short time, what he relied on was not just his perseverance, there was also his thousands of years of accumulated terrifying experience, as well as his extraordinary alchemy talent.


    Not one could be lacking!


    Now, Ye Yuan��s instinct was already extremely terrifying.


    Although he had never extracted these heavenly medicines before, by relying on his powerful instinct as well as four points of affinity, he could completely extract them.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan fired out a stream of divine essence. Several dozen kinds of heavenly medicines entered the medicine cauldron one by one.


    The pill refinement started!


    At this moment, his decades of hard training were all poured into the medicine cauldron!


    It was easy to say, but refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill was indeed a very big challenge.


    With Ye Yuan��s character, he naturally would not fight a battle that he did not have confidence in.


    This one month��s time, Ye Yuan studied the properties of the Jade Moon Orchid, Mountain Root Fuyu, and the rest of the heavenly medicines very thoroughly.


    And the pill formula, he deduced it countless times too.


    While it was complicated, it was not impossible for Ye Yuan.


    Let alone that four points affinity let him ��see�� even more things.


    Ye Yuan��s fire control, refining technique, all gave people a master-level feeling. It naturally attracted a series of exclamations.


    The expressions of Lin Lan and the rest were very ugly.


    Even the emperor who had his eyes closed all along to rest also came to the window again, and looked down on Ye Yuan refining the pill.


    But very soon, Ye Yuan became somewhat overwhelmed.


    The Jasper Regeneration Pill was too complicated!


    Compared to basic heavenly pills, this was an extremely huge project.


    From a dozen over heavenly medicines to dozens of heavenly medicines, the increase in difficulty was not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    Affinity!


    In the end, it was still affinity!


    Four points of affinity struggled to make ends meet!


    When the difficulty rose exponentially, Ye Yuan felt the inadequacy of affinity once again.


    Ye Yuan��s breathing became more and more labored.


    The sweat on his forehead became more and more too.


    Smiles gradually showed on the faces of Lin Lan, Xie Hua, and the rest.


    ��Crashing! He��s finally crashing! Freaking hell, scared me to death! Heh, this bit of affinity also wants to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill, truly a fool��s talk!�� Xie Hua said with great delight.


    Previously, his nerves had always been tightly wound.


    Now, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.


    Lin Lan sneered and said, ��The difficulty of refining a Jasper Regeneration Pill, even Nation Teacher��s affinity can��t support it. Just based on his tiny bit of pitiful affinity, he also wants to refine it?��


    Eldest Prince laughed loudly when he saw the situation and said, ��Old Second, this is the miracle that you spoke of? Hahaha �� I think this is called overestimating his own ability! The Jasper Regeneration Pill hasn��t even refined until one-third currently, he already almost can��t hold on anymore! I want to see how you make a comeback!��


    Second Prince originally had a hopeful look too, but at this time, he also started panicking.


    He could even feel Ye Yuan struggling on the second floor.


    But the refining process of the heavenly pill was less than one-third!


    The emperor glanced, shook his head, and said, ��The situation is beyond salvation!��


    Then, he returned to his seat again and closed his eyes to rest.


    Time went by little by little. Ye Yuan was struggling more and more.


    Even his hand was trembling!


    Regardless of whether body, divine essence, or origin divinity, Ye Yuan��s limit reached its end.


    When Lin Lan saw this scene, the smile on his face grew thicker.


    ��Huhu, fleshly body and origin divinity are still fine, but divine essence is a hard criterion! He��s only middle Lesser Sublime Heaven. So his divine essence isn��t enough to support him to finish refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill at all! After his divine essence is exhausted, this nation teacher wants to see what he��ll use to refine the pill!�� Lin Lan said with all smiles.


    And at this moment, Ye Yuan suddenly stomped his foot, and a whirlwind rose from the ground!


    ��Gather for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry. A powerful suction force gathered the surrounding spiritual energy over.


    Ye Yuan��s hands did not rest, directly injecting the spiritual energy into the medicine cauldron.


    Everyone was stunned!


    There was still this kind of strategy?


    ��Instantly forming a formation! Borrowing strength to refine pill! This guy ���� Lin Lan��s smile instantly froze on his face.


    Ye Yuan��s approach was like he was slapping his face on purpose.


    He just finished speaking and Ye Yuan flung a vicious slap over!


    Borrowing power to refine a pill was an extremely profound method.


    When refining pills normally, no one dared to try it at all.


    Because it was not their own strength, there was no way of doing what the heart wished in terms of control at all.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he would not employ this move unless it was a last resort too.


    ��Condense for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave another low cry. The Dao fire dissipated and the spirit gathering formation disappeared. Then, he plopped his bottom onto the ground and his lower and upper eyelids kept hitting.


    He was seriously too tired!


    A Jasper Regeneration Pill practically hollowed him out.


    ��Damn affinity! Really almost took my own life!�� Ye Yuan could not resist swearing.


    Right then, Lin Lan arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said while looking down from a height, ��Affinity didn��t take your life, but this nation teacher will take your life!��

 Chapter 2559 - Do You Feel That This Ye Lacks Money Very Much?

    ��Oh? Haven��t opened the furnace yet and the nation teacher already wants my life?�� Ye Yuan said leisurely while revolving his cultivation method to recover his strength.


    Lin Lan snickered and said, ��With how you refined it, is there still a need to open the furnace? It��s definitely a useless pill inside the medicine cauldron!��


    Refining heavenly pills had extremely high requirements for the material of the medicine cauldron.


    Hence, before opening the furnace, one did not know the quality of the heavenly pill inside the medicine cauldron.


    Judging from Ye Yuan��s performance, this furnace was undoubtedly an invalid pill.


    Actually, it was not just Lin Lan who thought so. Everyone present thought so too.


    Ye Yuan��s refinement was already too unsightly towards the later stages.


    The air of a master when he just started was completely gone!


    Using swaying in the midst of a raging storm could not be more apt.


    He was completely hanging in there with one breath!


    How could such a refinement possibly refine a complete product heavenly pill?


    Let alone that it was even the extremely high difficulty Jasper Regeneration Pill.


    ��Hahaha �� just your flustered confusion, is there still a need to open the furnace? Not blowing the furnace up is already considered pretty good!�� Xie Hua said jeeringly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Better open it up. Otherwise, I won��t give up either. This origin divinity contract can��t be completed too, isn��t that so?��


    Lin Lan nodded slightly and said, ��Fine, I��ll let you give up on this!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��I don��t have much strength anymore. So I��ll have to trouble Lord Nation Teacher to open the furnace personally then.��


    Lin Lan had a look of disdain on his face and arrived before the medicine cauldron.


    At this time, the emperor on the second floor slowly stood up and said coolly, ��Alright, the outcome is a foregone conclusion. We are leaving!��


    This one sentence, the outcome is a foregone conclusion, carried a double meaning.


    On one hand, it was referring to Nation Teacher and Ye Yuan��s battle. The outcome was a foregone conclusion.


    On the other hand, it was referring to Eldest Prince and Second Prince��s battle. It was similarly a foregone conclusion.


    Therefore, he had no interest in staying any longer.


    The remaining things would naturally be handled by Nation Teacher.


    ��Sending Royal Father off respectfully!�� Eldest Prince was wildly elated in his heart and bowed to send Qiao Kaiyuan off.


    Second Prince did not turn his head back. His gaze was glued to downstairs.


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled, his eyes giving off a dazzling light!


    ��Hahahaha ���� Second Prince let out a burst of wild laughter. The emotions suppressed in his heart erupted completely at this moment.


    Eldest Prince currently had his back toward downstairs and did not know what happened.


    Hearing Second Prince laugh madly without ceasing, he even thought that he could not bear the blow and went completely mad.


    ��Old Second, it��s just a temporary loss. Why do you have to care so much? We��ll always be brothers!�� Eldest Prince urged with a hypocritical expression.


    Right at this time, a series of exclamations came from below, instantly suppressing his voice.


    ��Refined! Really refined!��


    ��Too fake! When he was refining the pill, he already looked like that. It can actually form a pill too?��


    ��A miracle! Really a miracle! Within five years, he actually really refined the Jasper Regeneration Pill!��


    �� ��


    Eldest Prince��s expression changed wildly, and he turned to look downstairs, and his entire body turned stiff there.


    And Qiao Kaiyuan also stopped halfway!


    Downstairs, Lin Lan was transfixed, while Xie Hua had a blank face.


    By the side, a medicinal pill was placed in the dish quietly.


    There was an uproar in front of Sky Gathering Establishment.


    ��This �� This �� What on earth is going on?�� The wild ecstasy just now had long already evaporated into thin air.


    Eldest Prince��s heart had a layer of thick dark clouds covered along with the appearance of that heavenly pill.


    Second Prince laughed loudly and said, ��Royal Brother, it is just a temporary loss. You don��t need to care! Don��t need to care! Hahaha ����


    Suddenly, his expression changed. The emperor actually arrived by his side at no idea when.


    However, his gaze was looking below.


    At this time, a look of surprise finally showed on the emperor��s face.


    Clearly, he was unable to believe everything before his eyes too.


    The Jasper Regeneration Pill had formed!


    Nation Teacher lost!


    Lost completely and utterly!


    ��Royal Father, this time, it can prove my eyesight, right? Ye Yuan really created a miracle again!�� Second Prince said with confidence.


    At this very moment, he was unbelievably grateful to Lu Yun.


    If not for Master Yun, it would have been impossible for him to turn the tables in a desperate situation!


    It was not that his eyesight was good, but that Master Yun��s eyesight was good!


    Master Yun had said long ago, Ye Yuan was a dragon among men, a distinguished talent among ascenders!


    Now, the massive dragon had already taken off!


    ��Lord Nation Teacher, I remember that you said before, if I can refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill, you��ll swallow the medicine cauldron whole? Now, are you swallowing or not?��


    ��Also, this Brother Xue, you appeared very pleased with yourself just now. You don��t need to buy the Jasper Regeneration Pill from me? I beg you, please don��t come to me to buy one! It��s not for sale!��


    Ye Yuan��s two sentences stung Lin Lan and Xie Hua until they almost went crazy.


    Lin Lan��s old face almost wanted to tunnel into the ground.


    The moment the furnace opened, he was completely dumbfounded.


    The Jasper Regeneration Pill really formed!


    But how was this possible?


    ��This is impossible! You were clearly giving out already previously. Your refining technique already became deformed. So how can it possibly form a pill?!�� Lin Lan bellowed.


    He thought that it was impossible for the one point Ye Yuan to refine a heavenly pill. In the end, Ye Yuan refined the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    He thought that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill. But in the end, Ye Yuan really refined the Jasper Regeneration Pill!


    This sort of thing was simply too demoralizing!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Competing in alchemy, you��re still far behind! If I tell you that everything later was all refined by relying on instinct, do you believe it?��


    Before waiting for Lin Lan to speak, Ye Yuan continued, ��Of course you won��t believe it! Just like if I tell you that I really only studied 20 over kinds of basic heavenly pills in these five years, you definitely won��t believe it too. If I tell you, these heavenly medicines, it��s all my first time refining, you still won��t believe it! However, these are all facts! The things that you look down on might not be useless. The people that you look down on might not be inferior to you too! Pill refining, you��re just a frog at the bottom of a well!��


    Lin Lan��s entire body trembled, feeling that his alchemy beliefs had completely collapsed.


    Everything that Ye Yuan said was what he could not imagine!


    However, Ye Yuan really did it!


    He refined the Jasper Regeneration Pill!


    Lin Lan had a face like he was battered out of his senses and no longer had the air of a nation teacher.


    Thud!


    Suddenly, Xie Hua directly knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and wept bitterly as he said, ��Master Ye, I �� I was wrong! I beg you, sell the heavenly pill to me! I��m willing to pay ten times, no, a hundred times the price!��


    Xie Hua wanted to become a heavenly alchemist, it was also precisely so, that he hated Ye Yuan even more.


    Originally, he did not believe that Ye Yuan could refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill at all. Especially learning from Xiao Qi there about Ye Yuan��s situation in these recent years.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually really refined it!


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��This Ye will not take back my words once I��ve said it! Not selling to you means not selling to you! Forget that you offered 100 times; even if it��s a thousand times, ten thousand times the price, this Ye won��t sell it to you too! Moreover, do you feel that this Ye lacks money very much?��


    As he said, he raised the Jasper Regeneration Pill in his hand and said smilingly, ��Who wants the Jasper Regeneration Pill?��


    ��I want it!��


    Someone with a severed arm reacted the fastest and jumped out immediately.


    This person was precisely one of the guards who beat the Tang Family��s father and son back then!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Consider yourself lucky. This heavenly pill, I��m giving it to you!��


    As he said those words, Ye Yuan actually directly threw the Jasper Regeneration Pill to him!

 Chapter 2560 - The Best One Naturally Has to Be Saved for My Own People!

    ��No way, right? Gave it away! It��s the Jasper Regeneration Pill, but he actually gave it away!��


    ��What the hell! He gave it away, rather than giving it to Xie Hua! Ruthless!��


    ��Ye Yuan is being unfair! Tang Yu still has a severed arm, he actually gave the Jasper Regeneration Pill away!��


    �� ��


    This action of Ye Yuan��s immediately caused a hubbub.


    Of course, the ones who were the most displeased were still the Tang Family.


    Tang Jinhua��s brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, he was somewhat unhappy.


    He refined the Jasper Regeneration Pill, and it actually was not given to Tang Yu straight away. He found this unacceptable.


    How much risk the Tang Family shouldered for Ye Yuan, fussing around him, he actually gave the heavenly pill to an irrelevant person!


    That person obtained the Jasper Regeneration Pill and was immensely grateful to Ye Yuan.


    He was afraid that someone would snatch it, so he swallowed it right away.


    At this time, the emperor brought Second Prince and came down from the second floor.


    Behind them, Eldest Prince��s figure was gone.


    Clearly, the die was cast!


    The joy on Second Prince��s face could not be concealed no matter what.


    The emperor gave Lin Lan a glance and could not refrain from sighing.


    He seriously did not expect that this old brother of his would also have times where he stumbled.


    But the origin divinity contract was already signed. If he did not carry it out, Lin Lan would be dead for sure!


    The emperor arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said with a frown, ��Since the victor has been decided, then We will confer the position of nation teacher to you!��


    Ye Yuan gave a hand gesture and said smilingly, ��Your Majesty, you don��t need to be anxious. It��s such a fine occasion today. I see that there are many people with missing limbs. Since this Ye is going to be the nation teacher, I naturally have to share in Your Majesty��s worries. Why not this Ye refine pills in public for sale? What does Your Majesty think?��


    The emperor said in surprise, ��You��re already like this. Can you still refine?��


    In his view, this Jasper Regeneration Pill being able to become a pill was more of a coincidence.


    But the origin divinity contract was placed there.


    If it was done, it was done. He could not go back on his words too.


    One heavenly pill already drained Ye Yuan.


    With another one, could this guy bear it?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I think that Nation Teacher is unconvinced by his loss. Since that��s the case, I��ll make more a little more convinced! Your Majesty, please deploy a batch of heavenly medicines over. Leave the severed limbs of these guards to this Ye.��


    In the royal family, these guards with severed limbs were not in the minority.


    But Ye Yuan saying this was a generous move.


    Furthermore, it was even free!


    Got to admit, this was a big gift to the emperor.


    The emperor mused for a moment and said in a solemn voice, ��Yu Tang, you go and make arrangements!��


    Second Prince gladly accepted the order!


    Xie Hua suddenly gave a cold snort and said, ��He��s already struggling heavily to refine one! In my view, you��re making fun of His Majesty!��


    His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of hatred!


    The action just now, Ye Yuan had humiliated him greatly.


    Ye Yuan rather gave the pill to a guard for free than give it to him!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, ��If I were you, I��d shut up right now! You have to know, the nation teacher isn��t your master now, but me! It��s just a matter of a word to kill you!��


    Xie Hua��s body trembled, full of fear, and sure enough, he shut up.


    Before long, Second Prince brought a large number of heavenly medicines over.


    The royal family��s treasures were naturally not what the Tang Family could compare to.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was pretty much done resting. He was not long-winded, directly getting to work with refining the pills.


    People all thought that Ye Yuan would be like the last time, collapsing from exhaustion in the end.


    However, they were disappointed!


    This time, Ye Yuan refined very smoothly.


    Although it was still very strenuous, those signs of exhaustion previously did not appear.


    This made everyone incredibly surprised!


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Could it be that he was performing previously?��


    ��There��s no need! Being exhausted until like that, even if it��s a performance, it��s also too much, right?��


    ��I say, guys, it wouldn��t really be his first time refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill previously, right? Because there��s experience now, so it��s going a lot smoother this time!��


    �� ��


    Seeing this situation, everyone naturally speculated heavily.


    Honestly speaking, they did not believe a single one of Ye Yuan��s words.


    Refined five years of basic heavenly pills and one would be able to refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill?


    Then heavenly alchemists would also be too worthless!


    Ye Yuan must have deceived everybody through some method in these five years and bitterly trained in high level heavenly pills in secret!


    But the expression on Lin Lan��s face became incomparably solemn.


    Because he discovered that Ye Yuan��s refining technique was far more mellow and smooth than before.


    Although the refinement before was enough to serve as an example, there were clearly many areas that were not mellowed and smooth.


    And this also resulted in the situation of divine essence being insufficient in the end.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s allocation of divine essence as well as the use of his technique was obviously much more reasonable.


    What did this show?


    This showed that Ye Yuan was improving!


    It was just that this improvement speed was too terrifying!


    The second heavenly pill was worth more than ten years of his hard work!


    Could it be that it was really this guy��s first time refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill?


    First time refining such a high difficulty heavenly pill and he succeeded in one go?


    This was too bloody freakish, right?!


    Lin Lan could not find any words to describe the shock in his heart currently.


    Could a person��s alchemy talent actually be strong to such an extent?


    No, absolutely impossible!


    Lin Lan furrowed his brows and racked his brain for ideas, wanting to find where the problem lay.


    Suddenly, his entire body trembled, and he thought of a certain possibility.


    Basic heavenly pills!


    Could there really be something fishy about these basic heavenly pills?


    Could one really refine the Jasper Regeneration Pill after mastering basic heavenly pills?


    ��Condense!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry and the Jasper Regeneration Pill was done!


    This time, the quality was obviously much better than last time!


    The guard who obtained the heavenly pill swallowed it happily.


    Following that, Ye Yuan rested for a while and continued to refine pills.


    One after another, people��s shock also grew more and more!


    Because Ye Yuan��s speed of improvement was seriously too fast!


    Second Prince had long already ordered someone to fetch the Cloud Mount Mother Stone. For each heavenly pill that Ye Yuan produced, there would be someone who would check the quality.


    From the starting lower second grade to upper third grade, then to upper fourth grade, and reaching the terrifying upper sixth grade in the end!


    The quality of the Jasper Regeneration Pill jumped up grade after grade!


    Those guards who received the heavenly pills before were almost crying.


    The higher the quality, naturally the more compatible the new limb grown would be with the body.


    ��Too terrifying! This kind of improvement speed is simply too heavenly defying!��


    ��F*cking hell, it��s my first time hearing that the Jasper Regeneration Pill can be refined like this!��


    ��Nation Teacher is simply weak to the max in front of Ye Yuan! Looks like this wager, Nation Teacher didn��t lose unjustly!��


    �� ��


    Amidst the cries of exclamations, people were long already prostrating on all fours in admiration towards Ye Yuan.


    This kind of improvement was definitely not an act.


    Maybe you could not see with one or two, but putting so many medicinal pills together, that sort of continuous improvement was clear at a glance!


    While the emperor��s eyes were sparkling.


    The pleasant surprise that Ye Yuan brought to him was too strong, making him feel like he obtained a priceless treasure.


    The sense of loss because of losing Lin Lan previously had long already been swept clean!


    Lin Lan was simply dust on the ground when compared to Ye Yuan!


    ��Condense!��


    Another Jasper Regeneration Pill was done. Ye Yuan threw it to Tang Yu and said with a smile, ��The best one naturally has to be saved for my own people!��

 Chapter 2561 - Lin Lan’s Astonishing Move!

    ��Golden pill! Ninth grade golden pill!��


    In the crowd, a series of strange cries came over.


    What Tang Yu held in his hand was actually a shining golden medicinal pill!


    No need to appraise it. It was naturally a ninth grade golden pill!


    By the side, Tang Jinhua was dumbfounded.


    He even thought that Ye Yuan forgot about his son and was brimming with resentment in his heart.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually gave his son a ninth grade golden pill!


    ��Father, I said it right? Big Brother won��t forget me! Him refining pills for those people previously was merely used for practice!�� Tang Yu said.


    After so many years, he already knew Ye Yuan very well.


    Since Ye Yuan refined the Jasper Regeneration Pill, he definitely would not forget about him.


    Therefore, when Tang Jinhua was complaining just now, Tang Yu also made him hold his horses.


    Sure enough, the best one was saved for him!


    ��Thank you, Big Brother!�� Tang Yu said to Ye Yuan respectfully.


    ��This is what you deserve!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The others were all incredibly envious.


    Being able to become friends with Master Ye was truly an incomparably blissful thing!


    ��Master Nation Teacher, are you convinced or not?�� Ye Yuan looked at Lin Lan and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Lin Lan had long already been dumbfounded by Ye Yuan��s alchemy technique!


    Convinced or not?


    Of course, he was convinced!


    Someone capable of refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill to the realm of ninth grade golden pill, could he still be unconvinced?


    He was also someone who pursued the alchemy path. It was just that he became content with retaining sovereignty over the remote land of Eastward Country, holding great power and authority, and had long already lost his original aspirations!


    This defeat was undeniable, completely and thoroughly!


    He turned around to leave quietly without saying anything.


    Someone saw that Nation Teacher left the city, no one knew where he had gone.


    The emperor did not urge him to stay either. He knew that Lin Lan��s defeat could be said to be all hope being dashed to pieces.


    ��Watching Master Ye refine pills today is truly immensely shocking! We want to formally establish Ye Yuan as the nation teacher. I wonder if Master Ye can agree to it?��


    Finished speaking, the emperor actually gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan in public!


    This was the highest level of courtesy!


    The current Qiao Kaiyuan was inviting Ye Yuan, not fulfilling his wager agreement!


    But no one felt that there was anything wrong.


    Ye Yuan was worthy of it!


    Just based on Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength, what did a nation teacher count for?


    In fact, Ye Yuan being a nation teacher was still considered condescending to take a post offered already!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Since Your Majesty is so courteous, then this Ye will accept deferentially rather than to decline courteously!��


    �� ��


    When one man attained Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too.


    Ye Yuan��s domineering rise let the Tang Family become Eastward��s number one major family in one bound!


    The Tang Family��s forces spread throughout the entire Eastward Country very soon.


    The emperor also officially announced to the outside world that Second Prince became the crown prince, and would inherit the rule in three years.


    The likes of the Yang Family, Jiang Yu, and Lu Yun, their statuses also rose along with him in Eastward Country.


    Just as everyone thought that the waves had subsided, another incident caused a stir in the entire Eastward.


    One early morning half a month later, the sky was just getting bright.


    ��Eh, why is someone kneeling in front of Nation Teacher Manor?��


    ��Huhu, what��s strange about this? Ever since Master Ye became the nation teacher, there has been an endless stream coming to request for pills. I reckon that this person is here to seek pills too, right?��


    ��That��s not right, you look at him, why does he look like Nation Teacher?��


    ��Nation Teacher? Are you blind? Why would Nation Teacher be kneeling in front of his own house?��


    ��My God, I��m not talking about Nation Teacher Ye; it��s Nation Teacher Lin! Lin Lan!��


    ��Mn? I-It��s true! T-This is going to be a big thing! Master Lin actually left and returned, and even knelt in front of the Nation Teacher Manor!��


    �� ��


    Waiting until dawn, in front of Nation Teacher Manor��s gates was long already surrounded until not even water could seep through.


    The former nation teacher kneeling in front of the current nation teacher��s door. This kind of thing, wanting to not cause a stir would not do either!


    Regarding this sort of thing, there naturally could not avoid people gesticulating.


    But Lin Lan was not the slightest bit moved and just knelt straight like that.


    Tang Yu walked out of Nation Teacher Manor, looked at Lin Lan, and said with a frown, ��What is Master Lin doing this for?��


    At present, Tang Yu��s severed arm had already grown out and was no different from an ordinary person.


    Furthermore, after he took the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, his strength also advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to upper Lesser Sublime Heaven.


    After Ye Yuan moved into Nation Teacher Manor, Tang Yu handed all of the family affairs to Tang Jinhua to manage. He willingly came to Nation Teacher Manor and became the chief steward.


    When Lin Lan heard that, he just said coolly, ��I��m here to acknowledge him as my master!��


    ��Acknowledge as your master?�� When Tang Yu heard that, he could not help opening his eyes wide.


    The exalted former Nation Teacher, a grade two heavenly alchemist, was here to acknowledge a master?


    The surrounding crowd was also ignited by these few words!


    ��A-Acknowledge master? Did I hear wrongly?��


    ��What a joke! Isn��t Master Lin implacable enemies with Master Ye? He would actually put aside his ego and kneel in front of Master Ye��s door to acknowledge master?!��


    ��This Master Ye wouldn��t be wanting to swallow humiliation and bear a heavy burden, and harm Master Ye, right?��


    ��Very likely!��


    �� ��


    No one would have thought that the Lord Nation Teacher who had once looked down on Eastward could actually put aside his ego and kneel down in public to acknowledge Ye Yuan as his master!


    This impact was really too strong.


    Even someone as clever as Tang Yu felt at a loss for some time too.


    ��Quickly go, quickly go! Lord Nation Teacher, if you keep making trouble, don��t blame me for not being courteous!�� Tang Yu instinctively thought that this guy was here to make trouble and directly chased him away.


    Lin Lan still had a calm expression and said coolly, ��As you please! Not seeing Ye Yuan, this old man won��t leave!��


    Tang Yu��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��You came deliberately to cause trouble?��


    Lin Lan ignored Tang Yu and fell silent.


    Tang Yu gave a cold snort and said, ��Lin Lan, don��t think that because you��re a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, no one can take care of you in this imperial city! Let me tell you, Master Yun is in Nation Teacher Manor right now. He has already broken through to middle Greater Sublime Heaven!��


    Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across in Lin Lan��s eyes.


    However, this hint of surprise was gone very quickly!


    When Tang Yu saw that Lin Lan was impervious to reason, he simply called Lu Yun and a bunch of helpers.


    With Lu Yun around, his confidence was immediately bolstered significantly.


    After Lu Yun took the ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, his foundation was consolidated a great deal.


    His strength also advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through the shackles in one stroke, reaching middle Greater Sublime Heaven!��


    ��Come, men! Chase him away for me!�� Tang Yu said in a solemn voice.


    A group of people pushed and shoved, attempting to push Lin Lan away.


    But he did not budge an inch.


    It was naturally impossible for Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums to move a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    But Lin Lan did not retaliate.


    A guard got impatient and directly kicked a foot on his body, he still did not fight back.


    ��Stop!�� When Lu Yun saw this scene, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    He came before Lin Lan and said, ��You really want to acknowledge Ye Yuan as your master?��


    Lin Lan said, ��My mind is made up!��


    Lu Yun frowned and said, ��Why should I trust you?��


    Lin Lan said coolly, ��It��s useless to say anymore. I��ll use action to prove it!��


    Lu Yun discovered that Lin Lan seemed to have become somewhat different.


    He felt that Lin Lan seemed to have let go of everything, even his entire person becoming much lighter.


    No sorrow or joy, no arrogance nor restlessness!


    This Lin Lan seemed to have become a different person from the Lin Lan that he knew before!


    It was impossible for this kind of temperament to be feigned.


    ��Okay, I��ll go and inform Nation Teacher! As for whether he��ll meet you or not, it��s not something I can control anymore!�� Lu Yun said.

 Chapter 2562 - Blockhead!

    ��You don��t hate me?��


    ��Hate? Huhu, this old man wants to thank you! If not for your timely warning, this old man would probably continue to have no accomplishments to my name just like this for life!��


    ��Then on what basis do you think that I��ll take you in as a disciple?��


    ��Accepting or not is up to you, to acknowledge or not is up to me! This old man is just asking for his peace of mind!��


    ��You, an exalted Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, can really put aside your ego and serve by my side?��


    ��Slaving like a bull or horse, I won��t hesitate!��


    ��Okay then. From today onward, you��ll stay in Nation Teacher Manor and be a servant! Remember, from now on, without my permission, you��re not allowed to refine pills!��


    ��Yes!��


    �� ��


    Just like that, Lin Lan became a measly little servant of Nation Teacher Manor.


    This matter shocked the entire imperial city once more!


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually willingly ran to Nation Teacher Manor to be a servant, it was hard not to cause a sensation even if one did not want it to.


    Lin Lan was not allowed to refine pills in Nation Teacher Manor. He could only soak in the medicine storehouse every day and sort out and extract heavenly medicines.


    This was simply the greatest torture and humiliation to someone who had once stood at the pinnacle of Eastward Country��s alchemy path.


    People all thought that Lin Lan would definitely leave.


    However, they were all wrong!


    Lin Lan actually persisted!


    In the beginning, everyone was somewhat apprehensive of his former identity and strength.


    But gradually, the servants in Nation Teacher Manor discovered that Lin Lan did not dare to talk back or attack at all.


    Hence, they became brazen and fearless.


    Many servants even started bullying Lin Lan.


    Whatever dirty work and tiring work was thrown at him.


    Lin Lan did not reject anyone who came!


    Tang Yu and Ye Yuan were observing Lin Lan from a secret place. Tang Yu could not resist saying, ��Big Brother, isn��t it a bit too much for us to treat Lin Lan like this? Right now, rumors outside are all saying that Lord Nation Teacher is narrow-minded and doesn��t have forbearance!��


    Just earlier, a maid from Nation Teacher Manor even bullied Lin Lan a little, making him go and empty the lavatory bucket.


    Lin Lan went to pour it away without making a sound.


    Ye Yuan gave Tang Yu a glance and said with a smile, ��What about you? Do you think so too?��


    Tang Yu smiled awkwardly and said, ��How can it be! Big Brother is forthright and is clear about what to love or hate. Back then, when I insulted Big Brother like that, Big Brother didn��t even do anything to me and just punished me lightly. How can you be a narrow-minded person? It��s just that public clamor can melt metal!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Would we martial artists still care about what others say? Come, go over and take a look.��


    When Lin Lan saw Ye Yuan, he hurriedly bowed and said, ��I pay respects to Master Ye!��


    Ye Yuan gave Lin Lan a glance and said with a sigh, ��It��s been half a year. You didn��t seem to have grown at all!��


    Lin Lan was taken aback and said, ��This old man is ashamed!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re not convinced!��


    Lin Lan trembled and said, ��This disciple doesn��t dare!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You feel that I��m making you be a servant and not allowing you to refine pills, it��s just in order to make fun of you? To test you?��


    Lin Lan��s gaze revealed a look of confusion.


    Those eyes seemed to be saying, wasn��t it so?


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, ��You regained your original aspirations, but it��s just that your comprehension ability is too poor! You��re indeed not qualified enough to be my disciple! Compared to my disciples in the Lower Realms, you��re far too lacking!��


    By the side, Tang Yu almost sprayed out a mouthful of old blood.


    In the entire Eastward Country, apart from Ye Yuan, Lin Lan was the alchemy path��s number one person!


    This kind of powerhouse actually did not even have the qualifications to be his disciple?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan actually said that Lin Lan, this Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, grade two heavenly alchemist, could not even compare to his disciples in the Lower Realms!


    This �� was a little too jarring!


    Now, Tang Yu was extremely certain that Ye Yuan was deliberately suppressing Lin Lan!


    Actually, according to Ye Yuan��s criteria for accepting disciples, Lin Lan was indeed far worse than Yun Yi!


    Yun Yi worked as an apprentice in the Pill Tower and understood Ye Yuan��s intentions very quickly.


    But it had been half a year, Lin Lan was still completely confused.


    His intelligence was too low!


    When accepting disciples, Ye Yuan��s requirements for talent were not high.


    What he wanted was someone who held awe and veneration in their hearts toward Alchemy Dao. Someone who could restrain their temper.


    With just a glance in seeing Lin Lan again, Ye Yuan was sure that this former nation teacher regained his original aspirations for Alchemy Dao.


    He was different now.


    However, he was a blockhead.


    In this half a year, he really did these miscellaneous chores as miscellaneous chores.


    Without any accomplishments!


    If Ye Yuan still did not come out to give guidance, this guy could do it stupidly for all his life!


    Therefore, that was why Ye Yuan said that his intelligence was too low.


    After all, an uncut jade like Yun Yi could not be encountered at will.


    Lin Lan did not think that there was anything and said respectfully, ��Yes, this disciple is slow-witted. Master Ye, please say it explicitly!��


    Ye Yuan did not speak, but he casually picked up a stalk of Dragonbone Grass, and started extracting.


    The moment the Dao fire arose, the Dragonbone Grass melted rapidly.


    Lin Lan��s pupils constricted, his gaze full of amazement.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan finished extracting, looked at Lin Lan, and said, ��How does my extracting the Dragonbone Grass now compare to back then?��


    Lin Lan drew a deep breath and said, ��Master Ye��s strength is many times stronger than back then!��


    The first time the two people wagered, Ye Yuan extracting the Dragonbone Grass was already transcendent back then.


    But the extraction back then, when compared to this earlier, was on a completely different level!


    The shock in Lin Lan��s heart could be imagined!


    So many years had passed, Ye Yuan was actually still spending energy on the extraction of Dragonbone Grass!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I used 18 years to cultivate the extraction of the Dragonbone Grass to the extreme! I used eight years�� time to refine the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! I used more than half a year to cultivate the Dragonbone Grass to seventh grade! And then I used another full year��s time to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to grand completion ninth grade! With over 20 kinds of basic heavenly pills, I only used four years�� time to cultivate them to grand completion ninth grade! As for the Jasper Regeneration Pill, I only used several days to cultivate it to ninth grade! I know you never believed it all along that it was my first time refining the Jasper Regeneration Pill. However, that��s the truth!��


    ��This �� How is this possible?�� The words pushed Lin Lan��s shock until it could not be surpassed.


    That was right. He never believed it all along that it was Ye Yuan��s first time refining it.


    But now, Ye Yuan recounted his alchemy experiences after ascending in detail from the very beginning. Only then did he know that that was really the first time!


    But only until now did he know that it turns out those 20 kinds of basic heavenly pills, Ye Yuan actually cultivated all of them to the grand completion realm of ninth grade!


    He only used four years!


    This was simply too exaggerated!


    This was a report card. Furthermore, it was dazzling to the extreme kind of report card!


    Placed across True Yang Heavenly Domain, one probably could not find a second one!


    Only at this moment did Lin Lan become deeply aware of Ye Yuan��s terror!


    Ye Yuan said, ��Telling you these is not for the intention of showing off, but for you to understand that here at my place, one��s foundation is the most important thing! I, Ye Yuan, won��t do this kind of boring thing like taking revenge. If I��m not willing to take you in, you naturally won��t be able to enter this door! Since you came in, there��s no shortcut at my place. There is only hard work. I��ll give you one year��s time. After one year, if you can refine a seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, I��ll officially take you in as my disciple! If you can��t do it, leave on your own.��

 Chapter 2563 - Apologize!

    The goal that Ye Yuan set for Lin Lan could not be rated as not high.


    From fifth grade to seventh grade, it seemed like a very narrow gap, but it was extremely difficult to cross.


    The quality of heavenly pills, third grade, fifth grade, seventh grade, ninth grade, grand completion, each was a hurdler.


    Furthermore, the further back, the more difficult it was!


    Lin Lan could break through to the fifth grade by relying on the strength of grade two heavenly alchemist.


    But further up was something that was extremely arduous.


    If seventh grade was so easy to break through, then when Ye Yuan refined the seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, it would not have caused such a great sensation.


    Ye Yuan was able to do it by relying on his foundation that was tempered endlessly, coupled with his extraordinary talent.


    But to Lin Lan, it was the biggest test of his life.


    Ever since then, Lin Lan cultivated like he had gone mad.


    But the more he cultivated, the more shocked he became!


    In the past, he had never attempted to spend so much energy on a basic heavenly pill before.


    But now, he discovered that it was simply a heavenly chasm from fifth grade to seventh grade!


    He was very perplexed how on earth Ye Yuan did it.


    That person was a freak!


    It was really not unjust at all that he lost so thoroughly.


    However, the current Lin Lan was no longer the original Lin Lan.


    After he lost that day, with all hope being dashed to pieces, he almost had the will to die.


    However, things would develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme.


    He finally had a grand awakening and regained his original aspirations.


    He suddenly came to realize the truth, understanding that he already lost himself after so many years of being in a high position.


    Hence, that was why he would put everything down and return to acknowledge master.


    But, even if he regained his original aspirations, wanting to improve was also not an easy thing.


    Only all the way until this moment did he know how huge the gap was from Ye Yuan!


    The Dragonbone Grass that Ye Yuan extracted that day was placed next to him.


    With each stalk that Lin Lan extracted, he would do a comparison.


    The result was often disappointing.


    This process was really incomparably devastating.


    Fortunately, Lin Lan persevered.


    A year later, Lin Lan��s eyes were deeply sunken, his figure emaciated and his hair disheveled. It was as if he had climbed out of the grave.


    He held a heavenly pill in his heart, his throat emitting a strange ��huhu�� laughter, clamoring about wanting to see Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan saw this unbelievably barely adequate Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, he could not help shaking his head and sighing.


    ��It��s been really hard on you! Alright, I��ll reluctantly take you in.�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Huhuhuhu �� Thank you, Master Ye! Disciple pays respect to Master Ye��


    Amidst the strange laughter, Lin Lan kowtowed and acknowledged master. Then, he directly fell down with a deafening noise.


    In the following days, Lin Lan started following Ye Yuan to cultivate.


    The task that Ye Yuan gave him was very simple. It was to refine a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to ninth grade.


    As for grand completion ninth grade, Ye Yuan directly gave up on it.


    Lin Lan��s natural endowments were too poor. There was no hope for grand completion at all.


    Even ninth grade was also a goal that was lofty and out of reach to Lin Lan.


    On this day, Second Prince suddenly came to Nation Teacher Manor in a hurry.


    ��Nation Teacher, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s envoy is summoning you!�� Second Prince said.


    ��Oh? What do they want to see me for?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Second Prince said, ��A few years ago, the envoys discovered an ancient tomb in Inklight Forest. They suspect that it��s the place of slumber of a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum powerhouse. In order to enter this place, our Eastward Country suffered casualties of countless experts these few years. Two years ago, they finally opened up the ancient tomb. Hence, the few of them brought a large group of experts and entered inside. Who knew that just three days ago, they returned. One of them is seriously injured, and one is poisoned. Envoy Cheng ordered people to invite Nation Teacher over.��


    Ye Yuan was also extremely surprised when he heard it. No wonder so many years had passed, but the matter of investigating Jun Tian��s death had always been all talk no action.


    It turned out that the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s people actually placed their thoughts on this.


    It made sense. Although Jun Tian was all-powerful in the Heavenspan World, he was merely just a minor character who was not valued in the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    But the ancient tomb of a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum powerhouse could contain a huge lucky chance. How could they let it go?


    Above Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!


    This kind of powerhouse, even when looking at the entire True Yang Heavenly Domain, they were sovereigns of a region too.


    Casually leaving behind a bit of lucky chance was enough for Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums to benefit endlessly.


    Their energy naturally had to be placed on this.


    ��So that��s how it is. Let��s go then! Lin Lan, you come along with me. There should be some use for you,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    �� ��


    When Cheng Chongshan saw Lin Lan, he immediately said unhappily, ��Why did you only come now? Dragging your feet, why haven��t you quickly gone in! If you can��t treat them, you know the consequences!��


    As for the Ye Yuan by the side, he directly ignored him.


    Lin Lan still wanted to say something but saw Ye Yuan shake his head.


    He could only toughen his scalp and go in for treatment.


    The emperor had his hands by the side, appearing fearful and respectful.


    Clearly, the pressure that this Jadetrue Heavenly Sect gave to him was too great.


    Ye Yuan and Second Prince wanted to follow in too, but they were stopped by Cheng Chongshan, ��Stop! This place isn��t where any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter! The few of you just wait here!��


    Finished saying, he turned around and entered the palace.


    Second Prince had an awkward look and said with a bitter smile, ��Nation Teacher, the envoy didn��t know that you��re the nation teacher, so ����


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, ��It��s okay. If Lin Lan can treat them, it saves me the trouble of taking action!��


    With regards to this kind of people who had their noses in the air, Ye Yuan had seen too many of them.


    Getting angry with this kind of person was pointless to him.


    Boom!


    Before long, a bout of cursing and swearing came from inside, as well as the sound of fighting.


    ��Trash! Can��t even treat this bit of injury, what do I want you for?��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he rushed in with a flash.


    At this time, Cheng Chongshan just happened to smash a fist onto Lin Lan��s chest, directly smashing him flying.


    Lin Lan spurted fresh blood from his mouth wildly, already seriously injured.


    ��Eastward Country is really a bunch of trash! You can��t even treat this bit of injury! Humph!�� Cheng Chongshan said angrily.


    Similarly a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, Lin Lan was not Cheng Chongshan��s match at all.


    The disparity was too great!


    ��Stop!�� Cheng Chongshan still wanted to attack when Ye Yuan shouted coldly.


    However, Cheng Chongshan treated it as if he did not hear it at all, smacking another palm onto Lin Lan��s chest.


    Cheng Chongshan turned to glare at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��A lowly ascender, who the hell do you think you are, to also dare ask this envoy to stop? Did this envoy let you come in?��


    His voice had yet to fade when Cheng Chongshan turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Ye Yuan.


    He was actually going to kill Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s eyes turned dark and his figure swayed, and he actually disappeared.


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing directly had a large hole smashed out.


    But Ye Yuan already arrived beside the bed.


    His hand pressed onto the vitals of one of the women, his eyes dark as he said, ��I asked you to stop, are you deaf?��


    Cheng Chongshan��s pupils constricted, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Spatial rule, fine lad! However, I advise you to let her go. Otherwise �� you��ll regret being born in this world.��


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him and said coolly, ��Apologize!��


    Cheng Chongshan was stunned and said, ��What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I asked you to apologize to Lin Lan! Looks like you��re really hard of hearing!��


    Cheng Chongshan laughed loudly and said, ��You��re asking this envoy to apologize to a piece of trash? Who the hell do you think you are?��

 Chapter 2564 - Save Some Strength!

    ��Is that so?��


    Ye Yuan��s hand exerted force, that woman spat out a mouthful of black blood with a spurt.


    When Second Prince and the emperor saw this scene, their expressions changed wildly.


    Damn it!


    This Ye Yuan was unbelievably inflexible.


    With this, he offended the envoy badly.


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed and he said, ��Boy, you dare?!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Say �� sorry!��


    Cheng Chongshan��s eyes wanted to spew fire, he gritted his teeth and said to Lin Lan, ��I can apologize, but do you think that you can bear it?��


    Lin Lan stood up swayingly, his gaze revealing a look of fear and he said to Ye Yuan, ��Master, why don��t ����


    Ye Yuan cut Lin Lan off right away and said, ��My, Ye Yuan��s, disciple, there��s nothing that can��t be shouldered! If you feel that you can��t bear it, you can leave right now!��


    Lin Lan��s entire body trembled, suddenly recalling back then at the Tang Family.


    This master was that unyielding!


    Even if you were the bloody Jade Emperor, you could not deal with my people!


    A warm current flowed through in Lin Lan��s heart.


    Such a master was worth following!


    All of a sudden, his gaze turned sharp, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You just apologize, this old man can bear it!��


    Cheng Chongshan gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Good! Very good! This envoy wants to see how a trash like you can bear it! I. Am. Sorry!��


    Lin Lan said coolly, ��It��s. Fine! Also, I��m not the nation teacher. My master is the nation teacher! I can��t save them, but it doesn��t mean that my master can��t save them!��


    Cheng Chongshan��s gaze turned intent, looking at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly.


    When he first saw Lin Lan, he directly overlooked Ye Yuan.


    How could a middle Lesser Sublime Heaven possibly be the nation teacher?


    ��Rubbish! I heard that Eastward��s nation teacher is a grade two heavenly alchemist. How can it possibly be him?�� Cheng Chongshan said in a great rage.


    Lin Lan said, ��More than a year ago, this old man had a wager with Master. In the end, I was completely defeated at his hands. Ever since then, I��ve respected him as my master. This position of nation teacher is naturally his too!��


    Cheng Chongshan three people had been busy with the ancient tomb all along and did not hear that there were actually so many twists and turns.


    A grade two heavenly alchemist actually acknowledged a middle Lesser Sublime Heaven as master, and he was even an ascender!


    Suddenly, he burst out laughing and said, ��Trash, are you kidding me? That kid is an ascender. So how can he possibly be a heavenly alchemist? In my view, your Eastward Country is really tired of living from top to bottom!��


    The moment these words came out, the emperor and Second Prince��s countenances suddenly changed.


    Clearly, Cheng Chongshan was genuinely enraged!


    ��I don��t know whether or not they are tired of living. But you��re probably tired of living!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cheng Chongshan sneered and said, ��Ascender, are you threatening this envoy? Do you know who this envoy is?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Who you are, has nothing to do with me. But I know that compared to the two of them, you��re in a little more danger. In less than three days, you��ll die beyond a doubt!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed wildly.


    Cheng Chongshan��s aura was vibrant. He did not have any appearance of being injured or poisoned. So how could he face certain death?


    Cheng Chongshan laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, are you scaring me? Do you think that this envoy is so easy to scare? Moreover, what the hell do you, an ascender, know about alchemy, to dare spout a stream of empty rhetoric here?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and did not have the intention of arguing.


    And right at this time, that woman beside Ye Yuan actually slowly woke up.


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed and he was immediately ecstatic. He rushed straight to the bedside and helped the woman up.


    ��Junior Apprentice Sister Wu Shuang, you��re awake! H-How do you feel?�� Cheng Chongshan said agitatedly.


    Wu Shuang��s essence, energy, and spirit was much better than just now. She nodded slightly and said, ��M-Much better!��


    Cheng Chongshan said with pleasant surprise, ��That��s good! That��s good then! Eh, hang on! Your situation was clearly deteriorating non-stop just now, how did you suddenly become much better?��


    Wu Shuang said weakly, ��I don��t know either! Just now, the poison energy within my body was already almost attacking my heart. But suddenly, a bout of power forced it out. I spat a mouthful of blood and felt much better.��


    Cheng Chongshan��s entire body trembled, looking at Ye Yuan with amazement.


    It turned out that that threatening earlier was actually treating Wu Shuang!


    Cheng Chongshan was shocked in his heart. In merely a few short breaths of work just now, Ye Yuan could already control the direction of the poison energy within Wu Shuang��s body, and force it out of the body?


    This kind of means was truly fantastical!


    At this time, his underestimation was long already put away. What replaced it was a hint of solemnness.


    By the side, Lin Lan, the emperor, and Second Prince, all had shocked faces.


    This means was truly fantastical!


    They all knew that Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao was incredible, but they did not know that Ye Yuan��s medical skills were actually so heaven-defying too.


    Everyone thought that Ye Yuan was forcing Cheng Chongshan to give in just now, who would have expected that he was actually treating Wu Shuang!


    Too strong!


    ��Boy, treat Junior Apprentice Sister Wu Shuang well, your benefits won��t be dispensed with!�� Cheng Chongshan said.


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan was formidable, he still had a lofty and aloof appearance.


    In his eyes, ascenders were outliers. They not worthy of respect at all.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his eyebrows also furrowed. Then he said coolly, ��This is your attitude of asking someone for help?��


    Cheng Chongshan frowned and said, ��Why? An ascender like you, this envoy not killing you is already showing grace. What does making you treat a bit count for? In this True Yang Heavenly Domain, without my Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s protection, an ascender like you will find it hard to take a single step!��


    Cheng Chongshan looked down on Ye Yuan��s identity as an ascender from the bottom of his heart.


    Compared to Eastward Country these people, Cheng Chongshan��s feeling of standing high above the masses was even stronger.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Since that��s the case, then there��s nothing to talk about. Lin Lan, let��s go!��


    The emperor��s expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped Ye Yuan and said, ��Nation Teacher, what the envoy said is right! Without the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s protection, ascenders will really find it hard to take a single step! In True Yang Heavenly Domain, ascenders are aliens! Only in my remote land of Eastward Country, will there be a little less hostility towards ascenders. You just have to take action and treat the envoys, and they will definitely protect you! Otherwise, once the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect is enraged, my Eastward Country can��t protect you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your Majesty, not that I��m not giving you face. This Ye doesn��t need other people��s protection and also doesn��t like to chase after people to treat their ailments. This Ye isn��t so cheap yet! Asking me to see a patient, also can. Show your sincerity. Also, Your Majesty, this Ye only came today on the account of your face. After today, those who want to receive medical help, come to Nation Teacher Manor yourselves!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan was about to bring Lin Lan and leave.


    ��Humph! Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!�� Cheng Chongshan gave a cold snort, his figure swaying and blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not even raise his eyebrows and said coolly, ��Stop posturing here, save some strength! The faster you move, the faster you��ll die! Your time is running out. If you want to live, put aside your baffling sense of superiority! Also, don��t block in front of me, if I want to kill someone, you can��t stop me!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan did not care about Cheng Chongshan��s deadpan face at all and walked right past him.


    Clearly, the threat worked very well!

 Chapter 2565 - Testing Poison with His Own Body!

    ��Qiao! Kai! Yuan!��


    After Ye Yuan left, Cheng Chongshan��s angry roar shook until the roof collapsed.


    He pointed at Qiao Kaiyuan��s nose and scolded, ��This is the nation teacher that you found? Qiao Kaiyuan, are you rebelling? Just you wait, this envoy will definitely report to the sect after returning to the sect this time and eradicate your Eastward Country!��


    The emperor and Second Prince��s complexions were ashen, feeling like the sky was about to fall down.


    Once the envoys were angered, Eastward Country could not withstand it!


    This father and son two people were like targets for venting, feeling helpless.


    It was clearly you who postured and were not willing to lower your head, angering Ye Yuan, you still wanted to frame the charges onto our heads!


    Who would we go find to reason things out?!


    Both sides were big shots, both sides could not afford to be provoked!


    The emperor had an ugly expression as he said, ��Envoy, please calm your anger! That Ye Yuan is indeed arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, but he has genuine ability too! His means earlier, you saw it too! He said that envoy, you have a problem in your body too. Why don��t envoy put aside your ego and request him for medical treatment?��


    Cheng Chongshan sneered and said, ��Huhu, can this kind of half-genuine and half-sham trick scare this envoy? This envoy��s body, don��t I know it myself? With just the likes of him, what can he tell?��


    He naturally did not believe Ye Yuan��s words. He felt that he was currently strong as a bull now.


    He did not listen to Ye Yuan��s words at all.


    He looked at the emperor and said with a cold smile, ��Qiao Kaiyuan, don��t blame me for not giving you a chance! Within half a day, have that punk get over here and apologize to this envoy, this matter will be left at this! If not, heh heh, you know the consequence!��


    The emperor��s complexion was ashen and could only bring Second Prince and leave.


    �� ��


    At Nation Teacher Manor, Qiao Kaiyuan and Second Prince urged Ye Yuan with earnest words and the best intentions for a long time.


    But he was unmoved.


    ��The two of you don��t need to waste your breath anymore. Calculating the time, that cocky envoy should be here,�� Ye Yuan said smilingly.


    The father and son two people exchanged glances, both revealing disbelieving looks.


    ��Nation Teacher, Envoy Cheng looks very healthy and doesn��t seem like he has a problem at all! Were you mistaken?�� Qiao Kaiyuan said.


    His voice had yet to fade when a servant came to report hurriedly.


    ��Your Excellency, it��s not good! Someone is vomiting blood as he��s walking and rushed straight into Nation Teacher Manor! We �� We can��t stop him!��


    Qiao Kaiyuan father and son, as well as Lin Lan, trembled all over.


    This was also foreseeing with too much accuracy, right?


    Could it be that it was Cheng Chongshan who came?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan really hit the mark, Cheng Chongshan really had a problem!


    Lin Lan��s heart shook wildly. As a grade two heavenly alchemist, he actually did not even see any clues!


    Ye Yuan got up and went out to greet.


    Qiao Kaiyuan and the rest followed out with bellies full of shock.


    After walking a short distance, they saw Cheng Chongshan swaying with every step, vomiting with each step, staggering over here.


    A foul smell greeted the nose.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he hurriedly flicked his fingers repeatedly. An enchantment directly opened up, sealing the road that Cheng Chongshan had walked over from.


    He already poisoned a large swathe coming all the way here.


    The servants had long already retreated very far away and did not dare to approach.


    This poison was very strong!


    ��All stay further away! Protect your body with divine essence. This poison isn��t ordinary!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    The others felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly followed suit.


    ��S-Save me! M-Master Ye, I �� I was wrong! I-I beg you, save me!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Cheng Chongshan seemed to have clutched the last life-saving saw, using the last of his strength to shout.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Not putting on your airs as an envoy now?��


    Cheng Chongshan said weakly, ��Master Ye, I was wrong! I really know that I was wrong! Help me!��


    When Qiao Kaiyuan saw this scene, he was also frightened badly and hurriedly said, ��Nation Teacher, take it as We are begging you! He can��t die in Eastward!��


    Second Prince also said anxiously, ��Nation Teacher, I��m begging you!��


    Ye Yuan was full of unwillingness, but in all fairness, Qiao Kaiyuan father and son had treated him with courtesy.


    Moreover, there was also the Tang Family, Lu Yun, and Jiang Yu, these relationships.


    Once the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was enraged, it was troublesome too.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and fired out a thin thread, attempting to probe into Cheng Chongshan��s body.


    Seeing this scene, Qiao Kaiyuan and the rest had ecstatic faces.


    However, the fine thread had not gotten close to Cheng Chongshan yet and was actually burned to a crisp!


    Furthermore, a cloud of mist actually followed along the thread and crept over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed and he hurriedly broke the thread off.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��This poison is very troublesome!��


    Qiao Kaiyuan said in surprise, ��Doesn��t Nation Teacher recognize this poison? Then how did you tell that there was something wrong with Cheng Chongshan��s body?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I guess it! I only saw that there was a very formidable poison hidden in his body, about to erupt. But I also didn��t expect that this poison would actually be so strong! According to this kind of toxicity, he probably can��t last past two hours! I just ascended not long and don��t understand Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s poisons. It��s a little troublesome to save him!��


    Everyone had shocked faces. To actually be able to discern with one look, how terrifying his skill must be!


    However, Qiao Kaiyuan discerned it. Ye Yuan said that it was troublesome, not hopeless!


    ��Nation Teacher, he �� he can��t die! As long as Nation Teacher can save him, our Qiao Family will follow Nation Teacher for directions!�� Qiao Kaiyuan said.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��All of you step back a little.��


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant and retreated to a further place.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan slowly got up and walked over toward Cheng Chongshan who was already in a coma.


    Then, he actually reached his hand out toward the blood spot that Cheng Chongshan vomited!


    When everyone saw the situation, they turned pale with fright!


    ��Master, you mustn��t!�� Lin Lan exclaimed.


    ��Nation Teacher!�� Qiao Kaiyuan father and son said in surprise.


    A little bit of black blood stained on Ye Yuan��s hand.


    Practically instantly, that drop of black blood disappeared, fusing into the skin.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed abruptly, hurriedly sitting cross-legged and revolving his skill.


    The toxin was like a cluster of flames, instantly invading Ye Yuan��s meridians.


    The toxicity far surpassed any poison that Ye Yuan had ever seen before!


    With regards to the 33 Heavens�� poisons, Ye Yuan had never dabbled in them before.


    But Ye Yuan was not just the ancestor of alchemy. He was also the ancestor of using poison!


    Otherwise, he also would not have poisoned a hundred thousand Celestial Deity powerhouses to death back then!


    In order to study the poison path, Ye Yuan had once tested poison with his body countless times.


    Ye Yuan had long already formed his own set of methods to deal with toxins.


    The toxins that he introduced were very precise, not much, but sufficient to be fatal!


    Ye Yuan wanted to use his body to feel this toxin and find a way to cure the poison from there.


    Very soon, a pitch-black color appeared on his face. Even his lips turned purplish black.


    The symptoms were the same as Cheng Chongshan��s.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s hearts leaped to their throats.


    ��This �� What exactly is Nation Teacher trying to do? Isn��t this tantamount to suiciding?�� Qiao Kaiyuan said nervously.


    Lin Lan said in a solemn voice, ��Master is testing the poison with his body. This is a method to understand toxins. It��s just that there are extremely few people who dare to use it. Because a single misstep and it��s the outcome of death! Furthermore, this poison is extremely powerful. Master �� he is probably �� fraught with grim possibilities!��

 Chapter 2566 - I Am This Stubborn!

    Black gas steamed up from Ye Yuan��s body.


    The terrifying poison gas horrified people at the sight of it.


    Tang Yu��s expression was ugly as he said, ��To be able to render a middle Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse without the slightest power to resist, the damage of this poison to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums can be imagined! What��s Big Brother trying to do!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s appalling appearance, the people in the Nation Teacher Manor were all terrified.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But very soon, the black fog around Ye Yuan gradually became thin.


    The black gas on Ye Yuan��s body also gradually faded away.


    Finally, Ye Yuan recovered to his original appearance again.


    Everyone had blank faces, shocked speechless.


    A deadly poison capable of killing a Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse, Nation Teacher was actually safe and sound?


    ��This �� He��s actually fine already?�� Lin Lan said with a dull expression.


    When Tang Yu saw this scene, he was beside himself with joy.


    But hearing Lin Lan��s words, he frowned and said, ��Why? You hope that something happens to Big Brother so that you can become Nation Teacher again?��


    Lin Lan shook his head and said, ��You don��t know the danger in this! This poison is extremely hidden! Martial artists can��t detect it at all in the early stages. But once it erupts, if I didn��t guess wrongly, it can probably poison Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses to death! For Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums, forget about testing the poison with their own bodies; they would practically die upon contact! Master��s means can be rated as heaven-defying!��


    When Tang Yu heard, he also opened his mouth wide, a look of shock on his face.


    His big brother��s means, all of them were truly inconceivable!


    Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was absolutely a supreme-level powerhouse to Eastward Country.


    If a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse came over, annihilating a country was normal too!


    This poison could poison such a powerhouse, but could not do anything to Ye Yuan. It could be seen how terrifying his means were!


    Qiao Kaiyuan had a look of shock as he said, ��Is Nation Teacher really an ascender? We have lived to this ripe old age and haven��t seen such a heaven-defying ascender before!��


    Lin Lan smiled bitterly and said, ��If Master isn��t an ascender, curing this poison would likely be like eating rice and drinking water! If my conjecture is right, Master testing poison with his own body has likely already been run of the mill long ago! Not only is he an alchemy expert, but he is also a poison path grandmaster!��


    Amidst everyone��s shocked gazes, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, his figure staggering a little.


    This poison was indeed powerful. Even if he forced the toxin out of his body, he could not quite bear it too.


    However, Cheng Chongshan��s aura was getting weaker and weaker, it could not be delayed anymore!


    Ye Yuan used his fingers as a sword, one stream of sword energy after another fired into Cheng Chongshan��s body.


    Replacing needles with swords!


    Sword energy and the poison energy carried out a cruel to the extreme slaughter within Cheng Chongshan��s body.


    The poison energy was too strong, Ye Yuan��s sword energy was too weak, melting upon contact!


    But Ye Yuan already tested the poison with his own body and already had a direct understanding of the trajectory path and prowess of this poison.


    Hence, that was why he dared to apply the needles!


    With a definite object in view, no matter how strong the toxicity, it was not a match too!


    The poison gas was forced out of the body bit by bit.


    Suddenly, Cheng Chongshan��s fingers moved slightly.


    ��Revolve your divine essence and follow the direction of my sword energy to assault!�� Ye Yuan shouted coldly.


    Cheng Chongshan��s whole body shook, feeling one surging ray of sword energy after another rushing without restraint within his body.


    And the toxins within his body were actually cut down by a lot!


    Cheng Chongshan did not dare to be neglectful, hurriedly revolving divine essence.


    Two mighty forces gathered together, the toxin was immediately like water that breached the banks, fleeing in defeat.


    Six hours later, Ye Yuan slumped to the ground.


    But Cheng Chongshan was radiating with vigor anew.


    The poison in his body was already pretty much all healed up!


    Nation Teacher Manor was dwelling upon this with great relish.


    ��Nation Teacher is truly a miracle-hand! This kind of strange poison, he actually cured it!��


    ��Didn��t you hear the former nation teacher? That poison can even poison Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses to death. Our nation teacher is only Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum and he can actually test the poison with his own body, truly incredible!��


    ��Tsk tsk, really feel honored to be working in the Nation Teacher Manor! With Nation Teacher around, it will be hard to die even if you wanted to!��


    �� ��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s means, everyone was incredibly amazed.


    Barring no accidents, today��s matter would spread throughout the entire imperial city very soon!


    The prestige of the Nation Teacher manor would also be like the noonday sun!


    ��Lin Lan, dispose of the toxin, be careful!�� Ye Yuan said weakly.


    Cheng Chongshan looked at Ye Yuan, his expression a little awkward.


    This poison attacked too suddenly and too fiercely. He did not even have time to resist and his entire person crumbled.


    He thought that he was dead for sure, did not expect that he was actually saved!


    This ascender��s methods were simply inconceivable!


    Cheng Chongshan was deeply aware of this poison��s prowess, even those elders in the sect might not be able to resolve it too.


    This puny little ascender actually cured it!


    Thinking about how he was posturing in front of Ye Yuan previously, vowing solemnly that Ye Yuan was scaring him, he really wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    However, Cheng Chongshan was very displeased in his heart!


    Having his face slapped like this by an ascender, he felt that his dignity was seriously challenged!


    The looks around him seemed so piercing.


    An ant should have treated him properly to begin with.


    Now, it actually caused him to almost die.


    People were this strange sometimes, it was clearly you who helped him, but he felt that you did wrong.


    You even had to beg to help him.


    But Cheng Chongshan was not a fool. It was impossible for him to fall out at this time.


    Wu Shuang and his junior apprentice brother still had to rely on Ye Yuan to do the treatments.


    A man under low eaves had no choice but to lower his head!


    Several years were required to go from Eastward Country to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    It was hard for distant water to quench one��s current thirst. If they were to return to the sect, Wu Shuang would have long died completely.


    ��Brother Ye, it was this Cheng who was rash this time! This life-saving grace, this Cheng will bear it in mind, and will definitely repay it!�� Cheng Chongshan clasped his hands and said.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��If you want to thank, thank His Majesty. With your attitude previously, it��s impossible for me to save you! It was him who begged me bitterly to save you!��


    Cheng Chongshan had an awkward look and said with a smile, ��No matter what, Brother Ye acting to save this Cheng is a fact. This favor, this Cheng has remembered it! As for Eastward royal family, this Cheng will naturally repay generously!��


    Humph!


    This cocky fellow was really like a rock in the toilet; stinky and hard!


    If not for Junior Apprentice Sister, did you think that I would be so humble and submissive towards you?


    After Junior Apprentice Sister is well, I��ll definitely tear you to shreds!


    Otherwise, it��s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!


    Do you think that you can be invincible under the heavens if you know spatial rule?


    Too naive!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Leave. My divine essence is depleted and have to go into closed-seclusion!��


    The moment Cheng Chongshan saw this, he hurriedly said, ��Brother Ye, this Cheng��s junior apprentice sister is still poisoned ����


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I am this stubborn! If you talk to me nicely, everything can be discussed. But I gave you the chance! Want me to save them, also can. Bring out your sincerity!��


    Finished speaking, he turned right around and left, leaving behind everyone with awkward faces.


    Cheng Chongshan looked at Ye Yuan��s back view, his gaze like a knife, almost wanting to kill Ye Yuan.


    In this remote hinterland, he was actually being humiliated by an ascender like so!


    If he did not avenge this enmity, where would his face go?!


    Qiao Kaiyuan was silent like a cicada in winter by the side, not daring to make a sound at all.

 Chapter 2567 - A Few Pieces of Jade Slips

    ��Lord Envoy, we��ve investigated Deacon Jun��s matter for many years and didn��t find any leads either. But Yuqin found a trace of a clue recently!�� Eldest Prince said.


    ��Oh? Speak!�� Cheng Chongshan said with a frown.


    ��Yuqin feels that Deacon Jun very likely died at Ye Yuan��s hands!�� Eldest Prince��s words were shocking.


    Cheng Chongshan was greatly interested and said, ��What does this mean?��


    Eldest Prince said, ��When Deacon Jun died, it was precisely when Ye Yuan ascended! Furthermore, he ascended from Inklight Forest! Yuqin knows that these words are somewhat fantastical, but Ye Yuan this person has too many mysteries to begin with! Ever since coming to Eastward Country, he has done too many impossible things! If Deacon Jun was careless, dying at his hands is also not something impossible!��


    Cheng Chongshan revealed a pondering look and fell silent.


    Eastward��s general situation had settled, but Qiao Yuqin��s heart was not dead!


    He had the intention of curry favor with Cheng Chongshan, but these people��s minds were not on this at all. Their movements and traces were elusive and secretive.


    Eldest Prince had long already investigated Ye Yuan inside out and already knew everything about the events after Ye Yuan ascended like the back of his hand.


    He discovered a coincidence that made him wildly ecstatic!


    That was that Jun Tian��s death just happened to coincide with the time Ye Yuan ascended!


    Hence, he wanted to speak to Cheng Chongshan, wanting to borrow Cheng Chongshan��s hand to take Ye Yuan down.


    As long as Ye Yuan fell, his chance would come.


    However, Cheng Chongshan and co. went deep into the ancient tomb and only returned recently.


    Who would have expected that after the few people came back, they would be injured and poisoned?


    Let alone did he expect that a conflict actually happened between Ye Yuan and the envoy!


    Eldest Prince felt that this was simply a godsend opportunity!


    As long as he informed Cheng Chongshan about this matter, there was no need for him to say anything at all. Cheng Chongshan would also help me remove this obstacle.


    To Cheng Chongshan, whoever killed Jun Tian was not important.


    What was important was that there was an explanation to the sect!


    Of course, not anyone had this qualification to be the sacrificial lamb.


    Anyhow capturing a random person back, how could the sect possibly believe that this was the murderer?


    Saying it out, it would be hard to convince the public too!


    Previously, the most suitable one was naturally Eastward emperor.


    But now, it was Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s prestige in Eastward was too high!


    It was even higher than the emperor��s!


    If he became the murderer and Cheng Chongshan killed Ye Yuan, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, it could naturally deter the frontiers!


    Even a coincidence was also not as coincidental as this!


    As for whether or not Ye Yuan was really the murderer, it was not important at all!


    Very soon, Cheng Chongshan figured out the crux involved, a hint of a smile revealing at the corners of his mouth.


    He looked at Eldest Prince and said smilingly, ��Qiao Yuqin, you��re very smart and know what this envoy needs! This news of yours is indeed very useful to this envoy! What you want, this envoy will give to you too. But, what should be done in the future, it shouldn��t need me to say anymore, right?��


    The moment Qiao Yuqin heard, he was overjoyed. He prostrated on the ground and said, ��Yuqin is envoy��s man in the future. I��ll dash my brains on the ground and lay down my life if need be!��


    Cheng Chongshan said, ��However, this boy is adept in spatial rule. His movement technique is extremely strange. He is not easy to deal with! I��ll send a message back to the sect and request the sect to send experts over to capture this guy! As for this period of time, lay low for me!��


    Qiao Yuqin was wildly elated and hurriedly said, ��Envoy, rest assured. Yuqin will definitely act in a low-profile manner!��


    �� ��


    On this day, Cheng Chongshan brought his junior apprentice brother and junior apprentice sister, and carried a large number of gifts, and arrived at Nation Teacher Manor.


    Along the way, it caused a great sensation.


    People naturally did not know that Cheng Chongshan and Ye Yuan were on bad terms. They just knew that Ye Yuan was Eastward��s nation teacher.


    Even Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s envoy had to visit in person and seek medical treatment from Nation Teacher.


    This was too impressive!


    ��Tsk tsk, our Eastward Country is really impressive this time! Even the envoy has to pay a visit for medical treatment!��


    ��I heard that the few envoys are very arrogant. Even the emperor has to be cautious when he sees them. But in front of Nation Teacher, they still have to put aside their ego!��


    ��On that day, Envoy Cheng was inflicted with a fierce poison, poisoning hundreds of people along the way! In the end, it was still Nation Teacher whose miraculous skill restored life, curing him!��


    �� ��


    The residents of the impressive, awesome all felt proud when they saw their own nation teacher��s awesomeness.


    Furthermore, ever since Ye Yuan took office as the nation teacher, Nation Teacher Manor��s door had changed from the cold pride in the past and had become closer to the people.


    Anyone who was sick or had a disaster could come for consultation.


    Of course, the vast majority of the illnesses did not reach Ye Yuan here. There was naturally Lin Lan, Jiang Yu, and the Tang Family managing it.


    But there were also some troublesome issues that Ye Yuan personally took action to resolve.


    Therefore, even though Ye Yuan had not served as the nation teacher for a long time, he was very much loved and respected among the people.


    When Cheng Chongshan saw Ye Yuan, he smiled and clasped his hands as he said, ��Brother Ye, do you think this Cheng��s sincerity this time is sufficient?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Ye doesn��t care about this undeserved reputation. Is there anything practical?��


    Cheng Chongshan had a smile hanging on his face but had immense hatred in his heart.


    But he also knew that not taking something out this time, he could not pass this hurdle.


    Feeling helpless, he took out a few jade slips and passed them to Ye Yuan with both hands, saying, ��These few jade slips were obtained by this Cheng in the ancient tomb this time. They were hidden in a secret place. This Cheng almost lost my life on the spot in order to obtain them. It��s just that there are extremely powerful restrictions on the jade slips. This Cheng can��t crack it either. But I think that they should be extremely valuable things!��


    Ye Yuan received the jade slips and sunk his divine sense into it. Sure enough, it was blocked by a vast force.


    This restriction power was extremely strong, being unfathomable.


    Most likely, the information inside was extremely important.


    Ye Yuan naturally knew Cheng Chongshan��s thoughts. The things were good things, but one could not open them. So what was the use?


    These few pieces of jade slips, Cheng Chongshan must have tried all kinds of methods already, and still could not open them.


    Those that he could open, he definitely would not take them out either.


    Hence, might as well do a convenient favor and give it to Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan had another idea.


    The restrictions in the jade slips were a treasure to Ye Yuan.


    As long as he could study them thoroughly, Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao attainments would definitely be able to go up a level.


    And Ye Yuan was even more interested in the things hidden inside.


    Ye Yuan was very satisfied with this gift!


    It could be said that everyone was happy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Cheng is thoughtful. This Ye likes this gift very much.��


    Cheng Chongshan smiled and said, ��Good that Brother Ye likes it!��


    But he sneered endlessly in his heart.


    This restriction was laid down by a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum powerhouse. It was absolutely a grade-four restriction!


    Just based on him, a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he also wanted to open it?


    Forget about Ye Yuan, even the elders in the sect most likely would not open it too!


    Moreover, take ten thousand steps back and say that even if he could open it, it would be hard to escape death too!


    Accepting the gifts, Ye Yuan naturally had to work.


    Wu Shuang��s poison looked formidable, but actually, it was not considered very strong.


    At least, that was the case for Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan took action, it was naturally accomplished with ease.


    As for Cheng Chongshan��s junior apprentice brother��s injuries, that was even less of a problem.

 Chapter 2568 - Arrival from Jadetrue

    There were a total of three jade slips given by Cheng Chongshan.


    Ye Yuan played with one of the jade slips and said with a smile, ��Cheng Chongshan thought that I can��t access the jade slips. That��s why he would give them to me with peace of mind. It��s just a pity that he miscalculated! Although this restriction is powerful, as long as I comprehend a part of it, I��ll be able to pry into the mysteries!��


    What Ye Yuan was thinking of was not to crack the restrictions at all but to comprehend these restrictions.


    The difficulty of the two naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    The restrictions in the jade slips were extremely exquisite, far surpassing Ye Yuan��s current understanding.


    Furthermore, he discovered that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s restriction technique was vastly different from his own Formation Dao.


    Noting many ingenious aspects, Ye Yuan never even thought of it before in the past.


    These restrictions completely opened up another door for Ye Yuan. A new world unfolded before his eyes.


    Only then did Ye Yuan know that he underestimated the heroes of the world!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was a world that was composed entirely of rules.


    Everything here completely surpassed a plane like the Heavenspan World.


    The more Ye Yuan studied these restrictions, the more he felt that they were unfathomable.


    He had a feeling of being a skilled master who accidentally obtained a heavenly work of literature.


    These restrictions were like nature itself as if they were there originally.


    Suddenly, one day, the power of rule descended upon Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��I didn��t expect that my Alchemy Dao rule hasn��t reached grand completion yet, and then it��s my Formation Dao rule that reached grand completion first. This senior��s Formation Dao attainments are extremely insightful. He must have been an astonishingly talented major character when he was alive! It��s just a pity that he fell in Inklight Forest.��


    Ye Yuan would never copy blindly when he gained enlightenment on Dao. He extracted the essence of these restrictions, removed the dregs, and integrated it into his own Formation Dao.


    These few years, Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao attainments had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he already cultivated the first level of Formation Dao rule to the realm of grand completion.


    Putting aside the contents inside these jade slips, just talking about this restriction, got to admit that Cheng Chongshan gave him a big gift.


    Ye Yuan picked up a jade slip and proved his divine sense inside.


    Information flooded into his mind.


    ��Poison Sutra!��


    What was recorded inside this jade slip was actually the method of using poison.


    Inside the jade slip, a variety of poisons and the methods were recorded. The poisons were very bizarre.


    Even Ye Yuan this poison using expert also could not help but be lost in wonder.


    ��It turns out that the poison Cheng Chongshan was inflicted by is called Silent Rupture, which is very fitting. This poison, even Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses can��t block it! However, Cheng Chongshan probably doesn��t know that this poison wasn��t purged cleanly. It��s just incubating again. That��s all,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Not that Ye Yuan did it on purpose, but that his cultivation realm was indeed too low, and Cheng Chongshan was poisoned too deeply.


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not have a need to tell him these.


    He knew that Cheng Chongshan would still deal with him, just take it as leaving a card up his sleeves.


    The other two pieces of jade slips also made Ye Yuan extremely excited.


    One of the pieces recorded the medicinal properties and growth habits of thousands of heavenly medicines, as well as dozens of precious pill formulas and alchemy experiences.


    A jade slip that was sealed up so solemnly, they were naturally not ordinary pill formulas.


    Furthermore, this was merely the tip of the iceberg.


    The portion that was hidden by the restrictions was the essence!


    This jade slip was simply a precious treasure to Ye Yuan.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s alchemy path system was not of the same lineage as the Heavenspan World, but much more complex and massive.


    Although Ye Yuan cultivated basic heavenly pills to the realm of grand completion, there was still a huge gap away from first level grand completion.


    The heavenly pills that he cultivated were actually just in order to lay the foundation for the Jasper Regeneration Pill. It was a kind of cultivation.


    But actually, how could basic heavenly pills be just 20 over kinds?


    The burden was heavy and the path was long!


    But this jade slip could give Ye Yuan immense reference value, and could save him a lot of detours.


    As for the last jade slip, there were several cultivation methods and martial techniques recorded on it.


    These three jade slips could be said to be three treasure vaults!


    Most likely, they were the cultivation experiences and legacy of the ancient tomb��s master.


    Cheng Chongshan gave it to him just like that.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and decided to study the Poison Sutra first.


    Cheng Chongshan definitely would not let him off easily. If he grasped the Poison Sutra, it could tend to achieve unexpected results.


    Ye Yuan��s current strength was too weak. The Heavenspan Mountain could not see the light too. He naturally had to take extreme measures to protect himself.


    He was the ancestor of using poison in the first place. He naturally would not be unfamiliar with this way. Learning it would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.


    However, the various poisons recorded in the Poison Sutra, as well as the methods and techniques of poisoning, they were incomparably miraculous. Ye Yuan benefited endlessly too.


    �� ��


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao! I didn��t expect that the sect actually sent you here!��


    Seeing the expert that the sect sent, Cheng Chongshan could not help being overjoyed.


    Zhao Kun was among the top ten inner-sect��s disciples of the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect. His strength could virtually instantly kill Cheng Chongshan.


    Furthermore, Zhao Kun��s most daunting aspect was his movement technique.


    With him taking action, was he still scared of Ye Yuan running?


    Zhao Kun gave a cold snort and said, ��You actually can��t even take care of a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum ascender! You��re really a piece of trash!��


    In front of Zhao Kun, Cheng Chongshan put away all of his pride and said with a fawning smile, ��What Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao says is right. It��s junior apprentice brother who is incompetent! It��s just that the boy is proficient in spatial rule, which is very troublesome. Of course, I also won��t trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao to labor in vain. This is a little show of appreciation, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao please accept it.��


    Zhao Kun��s gaze turned sharp and he said in surprise, ��Brightfall Feather Transforming Heavenly Pill!��


    Cheng Chongshan smiled and said, ��Precisely so! This younger brother found an ancient tomb in Eastward Country in recent years and occasionally had gains inside. This heavenly pill is to show filial respect for Senior Apprentice Brother.��


    Zhao Kun��s two eyes narrowed and he said with a cold smile, ��What you obtained shouldn��t be just one heavenly pill, right?��


    Cheng Chongshan had an awkward look as he said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother is smart. The treasures obtained this time, the most important ones should be the few pieces of jade slips! It��s just that �� they are currently in Ye Yuan��s hands!��


    Finished saying, Zhao Kun briefly recounted what had happened before.


    Of course, out of his mouth, Ye Yuan naturally became the big villain, threatening with treating the poison, forcing him to hand over the jade slips.


    After Zhao Kun heard, he snorted coldly and said, ��What a useless trash! My Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s face has been utterly lost by you!��


    Cheng Chongshan was helpless and could only repeatedly say yes.


    If not for being compelled against his will, he also would not have had the sect send someone over.


    But since he came, the benefits that he obtained in the ancient tombs naturally had to be shared with the other party.


    But borrowing Zhao Kun��s hands to get rid of Ye Yuan was also worth it.


    ��However, a mere ascender can actually resolve this kind of strange poison, he has quite the skill! Cheng Chongshan, want me to take action, can. But you have to take out another five Brightfall Feather Transforming Heavenly Pills, or equivalent heavenly pills. Additionally, I want those few jade slips too!�� Zhao Kun said.


    Cheng Chongshan grimaced and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.


    In reality, he was delighted in his heart.


    The gains in the ancient tomb this time far exceeded imagination!


    Merely five heavenly pills, it was still within the scope that he could bear.


    Of course, these could not be expressed. Instead, he had to feign a pained appearance.


    ��Lead the way. I want to see whether or not this ascender has supernatural powers!�� Zhao Kun said coolly.

 Chapter 2569 - You Know Again?

    ��Big Brother! Things are bad! Things are bad! The experts in the royal palace have all moved out and surrounded Nation Teacher Manor! Eldest Prince is currently clamoring outside, asking you to go out and die!�� Tang Yu ran over with a panicky look, shouting at the top of his voice.


    Ye Yuan walked out of the secret chamber and said coolly, ��Oh? What��s going on?��


    Tang Yu said in a panic: ��I-It��s the Lord Envoy! Eldest Prince borrowed Lord Envoy��s strength and launched a coup d��etat! Right now, Eldest Prince has controlled the royal palace and sent out all of the powerhouses, surrounding Nation Teacher Manor until not even water can seep through!��


    Ye Yuan did not reveal a look of surprise and said, ��So that��s how it is! Since Cheng Chongshan has made a move, then is it that reinforcement has arrived?��


    Tang Yu was stunned and said, ��How did you know?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��With Cheng Chongshan��s personality, if he had confidence in killing me, he wouldn��t have waited until today! The reason why he kept maintaining a decent relationship with me, isn��t it for the sake of waiting for reinforcements?��


    Tang Yu said in surprise, ��Since Big Brother knows that he��s going to harm you, why didn��t you leave earlier? The one he invited this time is Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s inner-sect ranking��s top ten, Zhao Kun! His strength is extremely formidable! Most likely, it��s to target you, Big Brother!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��If I leave, you��ll be dead for sure, your Tang Family, including Second Prince they all, none will be able to survive!��


    Tang Yu was stunned, he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually stayed for their sakes!


    An inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart, tears almost burst out.


    Following such a big brother was really great!


    Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and said decisively, ��Big Brother, there are too many experts outside, even if your movement technique is incredible, it��s likely hard to escape too! Have Master Lin protect you and charge out from the side door, I��ll cover the rear!��


    Pah!


    Ye Yuan directly gave him a slap and scolded with a laugh, ��Cover your ass! Your bit of strength isn��t even enough to fill the crevices between Cheng Chongshan��s teeth, and yet still want to cover the rear! Come, go out and take a look.��


    Finished speaking, he walked straight towards the door.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Eldest Prince immediately went up to welcome, and said smugly, ��Ye Yuan, you��re done here! Surrender obediently without resistance, otherwise, the entire Nation Teacher Manor will have to be buried in death with you today!��


    Pah!


    Only to see a figure sway, Eldest Prince directly flew out.


    ��Who the hell do you think you are, is there the right for you to speak here?�� Ye Yuan said disdainfully.


    The royal palace��s experts had blank faces.


    This guy was too arrogant!


    Already reaching this situation, he actually still dared to make a move first!


    Zhao Kun smiled and said, ��Huhu, got some character! Brat, heard that you ascended from Inklight Forest, Jun Tian �� was killed by you, right?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said to Cheng Chongshan, ��Cheng Chongshan, you guys are treating your savior like this?��


    Zhao Kun��s face instantly turned black.


    Freaking hell, got ignored!


    Could it be that this boy was blind?


    Couldn��t he tell that he was the biggest one standing in the middle?��


    Cheng Chongshan sneered and said, ��Savior? Heh heh, the entire Eastward Country under my Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s rule! Eastward emperor��s life, my Jadetrue Heavenly Sect can decide it with one word! You, a mere Eastward��s nation teacher, shouldn��t saving the envoy be your duty?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with a nod, ��So that��s how it is. Then what are you besieging my Nation Teacher Manor this time for?��


    Zhao Kun had a black face and said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, are you deaf? I��m asking you whether it was you who killed Jun Tian!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Cheng Chongshan and still smiled as he said, ��Cheng Chongshan, you should know that you can��t kill me!��


    Ignored again!


    Cheng Chongshan was awkward to the extreme by the side.


    This guy definitely did it on purpose!


    The others were also silent like cicadas in winter.


    Zhao Kun��s fury had practically already burned throughout the entire Nation Teacher Manor.


    Everyone could clearly feel his wrath.


    Everyone knew that Zhao Kun was the person in charge here. Yet, Ye Yuan completely ignored him and kept on conversing with Cheng Chongshan.


    This ignorant attitude was simply superb.


    ��Huhu, boy, looks like you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin!��


    Zhao Kun took a step out, the aura on his body instantly rose to the peak. The faces of everyone present suddenly changed.


    Upper Greater Sublime Heaven!


    Such an existence was virtually invincible in Eastward Country!


    When Cheng Chongshan saw Zhao Kun fly off the handle, he smiled coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, I can��t kill you. But Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao can kill you like killing a dog! You really ate a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall, to dare provoke him!��


    Ye Yuan was still indifferent as he said smilingly, ��Cheng Chongshan, you seem to be very pleased with yourself. But do you know that the poison in your body hasn��t been completely cured? If I��m killed, even immortals will find it hard to save you too. I dare to bet that no one in your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect can cure the poison of Silent Rupture!��


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed wildly, but he immediately sneered and said, ��Boy, who are you scaring! The poison in my body isn��t cured, don��t I know it myself? My strength has long already recovered to the peak and even faintly shows signs of breaking through!��


    Ye Yuan revealed a look of sudden realization and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh, you know again?��


    This smile was like carefully concealing a secret.


    When Cheng Chongshan saw it, he could not help feeling uncertain in his heart.


    He suddenly remembered how Ye Yuan said that he was poisoned back then.


    At that time, he did not believe it either.


    As a result, he almost died.


    Ye Yuan��s smile clearly pointed at something.


    He said in a solemn voice, ��What do you mean? Could it be that you did something to my body back then?��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��The poison you��re inflicted with is called Silent Rupture! This poison is invisible and colorless. It can incubate in the body for a long time. But once it erupts, it��s incomparably violent! Even Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses will find it hard to escape death too! On that day, I had indeed forced out all the toxins in your body. But that can only treat the symptoms and not cure the root cause. There��s still a small part of the toxin that��s hidden in your body. It might erupt again at any time!��


    Cheng Chongshan��s legs turned soft when he heard it, almost falling to the ground.


    Didn��t that mean that a time bomb was placed in his body?


    ��Humph! How can you, an ant who just ascended, possibly know such a high-level poison? Want to come up with a lie to bluff me, do you think that I��m so gullible?�� Cheng Chongshan said threatening in manner, but inwardly shaky.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This still have to thank you! If not for the jade slips that you gave me, I naturally wouldn��t know these. But now, I know.��


    The moment these words came out, Cheng Chongshan and Zhao Kun trembled all over at the same time, their eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    ��Y-You cracked the jade slips�� restrictions? That��s impossible! Boy, do you take me to be dumb?�� Cheng Chongshan said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not speak. Zhao Kun converged his aura and suddenly said, ��Junior Apprentice Brother, when you got poisoned, did you feel like there was a volcano erupting within your body, every pore in your body from head to toe seeming like it��s rupturing? No matter how you revolve your divine essence, it would be instantly burned by the poison energy?��


    Cheng Chongshan��s gaze revealed a look of astonishment and he cried out in surprise: ��S-Senior Apprentice Brother, how did you know?��


    Zhao Kun took a deep breath and said, ��Sure enough, I think that he shouldn��t be bluffing you! This poison is indeed called Silent Rupture! Furthermore, this poison has no cure!��

 Chapter 2570 - Windward Topple!

    Thud, thud, thud!


    Cheng Chongshan took several steps back in a row, his face blank.


    ��S-Senior Apprentice Brother, you aren��t joking, right?�� Cheng Chongshan forced a smile as he said.


    But Zhao Kun shook his head and said, ��Not joking! I��ve seen before records in the sect��s ancient books. This is the unique poison of Zhong Jianchou, who was once known as the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� number one Jade Sovereign Heaven! Those who get poisoned by it have no chance! Silent Rupture, if it��s in the incubation period, it can still be suppressed through medicine. But, once it erupts, under Jade Sovereign Heaven will definitely die without a doubt! It seems that the ancient tomb you discovered might be his place of demise!��


    Talking until here, a hint of greed flashed across in Zhao Kun��s eyes.


    Zhong Jianchou had once been famous across the Five Great Heavenly Regions, known as Jade Sovereign Heavens�� number one person!


    How could such an existence be of the common sort?


    The legacy that he left behind was definitely a priceless treasure!


    Cheng Chongshan this fool actually gave it to Ye Yuan with both hands.


    However, there was no harm either. Since he came, he could naturally get it back from his hands!


    Cheng Chongshan had a panicky look and muttered under his breath, ��Impossible! Impossible! I clearly can��t detect any poison at all!��


    Zhao Kun said, ��This is also this poison��s formidable aspect. It��s completely undetectable in its incubation period! But once it erupts, even immortals will find it hard to save!��


    Talking up to here, Zhao Kun could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan, feeling extremely shocked in his heart.


    Silent Rupture��s poison could be said to make people tremble with fear when they hear it, Ye Yuan could actually completely suppress it when it erupted!


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable!


    One had to know, this was an incurable poison!


    At this time, Cheng Chongshan��s lover, Wu Shuang, became anxious. She begged Zhao Kun and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, I beg you, you must save Senior Apprentice Brother Cheng!��


    Zhao Kun smiled and said, ��Want me to take action, of course you can too. But, 70% of the treasures of your trip will belong to me! Furthermore, I get to pick!��


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed and he said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao, this �� this is too overboard, right?��


    Zhao Kun said coolly, ��Compared to your life, it��s not considered overboard! If you weren��t poisoned, I naturally wouldn��t have made this demand either. But since you have to turn to me for help, then you naturally have to pay the price.��


    Everyone came out to make a living, nobody was a fool.


    How could the exalted number one Jade Sovereign Heaven��s tomb possibly only have a mere five heavenly pills?


    It was just that, within the same sect, it was not good to go too overboard for some things.


    After all, Cheng Chongshan informed the sect about this matter.


    If Cheng Chongshan died bizarrely, the sect would definitely have to look into it.


    But, since Cheng Chongshan begged him, that was different.


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed over and over again. Finally, he still gritted his teeth and said, ��Okay! As long as Senior Apprentice Brother takes action, I��ll give Senior Apprentice Brother 70%!��


    Zhao Kun smiled slightly and said with a nod, ��Okay, swear the origin divinity heavenly curse then!��


    ��Wait! It doesn��t seem like you guys have the final say as to whether to cure the poison or not, right? Shouldn��t you all ask for my opinion?�� Ye Yuan suddenly interrupted.


    This Senior Apprentice Brother few people, negotiating terms back and forth, directly put Ye Yuan, this person curing the poison, to one side.


    Cheng Chongshan��s so-called taking action was naturally having Zhao Kun take Ye Yuan down, and forcing Ye Yuan to cure the poison.


    He had long expected Cheng Chongshan and Zhao Kun��s attitude.


    What disappointed him was that even Wu Shuang also turned a deaf ear to him, this savior.


    Cheng Chongshan was poisoned, she did not beg to him but went to beg to Zhao Kun instead. Clearly, she did not take his life or death to heart.


    Or should he say, she never cared about what he thought at all?


    Truly laughable!


    These few people were really a real-life version of the story, The Farmer and the Viper, making people��s hearts go cold.[1]


    Regardless of Ye Yuan��s attitude, he saved the three people��s three lives.


    This was a fact!


    But these Senior Apprentice Brother three people, not a single one was actually grateful to him.


    The disciples that came out of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect really let Ye Yuan broaden his knowledge!


    Zhao Kun swept a glance at Ye Yuan and could not help laughing as he said, ��An ant, ask you to do what, you just have to do accordingly, what��s the use of asking for your opinion? I know that you��re skilled in spatial rule, but in front of me, any of your means is futile. Of course, if you put up a stubborn resistance, I have a thousand ways to make you submit obediently! Uh, almost forgot, you were provoking me earlier, right?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What did you say? A dog is barking; I can��t understand.��


    Hiss ��


    Ye Yuan��s provocation made everyone��s scalps tingle.


    Nation Teacher��s gall was also too fat!


    Already at this point, he was actually still so unyielding, wasn��t this looking for abuse?


    Sure enough, Zhao Kun��s gaze turned sharp and he said with a cold smile, ��Very good, looks like you��re really courting death! Since that��s the case, then I��ll grant your wish!��


    The moment Zhao Kun��s imposing aura released, the powerful pressure crushed everyone once more.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��You probably don��t know that I��m famous for my movement technique in Jadetrue Heavenly Sect! You still want to show off in front of me with your little tricks?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    Zhao Kun was triggered by Ye Yuan��s smile. Snorting coldly, his figure instantly disappeared.


    ��V-Vanished!��


    ��Not vanished, it��s too fast! Fast until we can��t see!��


    ��This is also too heaven-defying, well-deserving of being Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s inner disciple!��


    �� ��


    Zhao Kun��s figure disappeared, immediately attracting a burst of exclamations.


    Such a strange movement technique, they had really never seen before.


    Cheng Chongshan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Foolish thing, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao cultivated the sect��s Celestial Immortal Deceptive Steps to an extremely profound realm. Even top ten powerhouses have a big headache when they clash with him!��


    But right then, Ye Yuan suddenly scattered a handful of light-yellow powder into the air.


    The moment the powder appeared, it scattered in the wind.


    When Cheng Chongshan saw, he laughed even harder and said, ��Hahaha �� you aren��t a fool, right? Just based on this pile of powder, you want to deal with Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao?��


    Dong!


    His voice had yet to fade when a figure suddenly fell from the air.


    Zhao Kun��s body fell to the ground heavily, twitching endlessly.


    At this time, Zhao Kun��s face was contorted, like he was suffering from epilepsy, his mouth and eyes askew, twitching on the ground non-stop.


    Cheng Chongshan��s eyeballs were almost popping out.


    Everyone present had blank faces.


    This �� What happened?


    A moment ago, Zhao Kun had an unstoppable momentum, as if nobody on earth could beat him.


    In the next second, he was actually spasming?


    Spasm �� ing!


    An Upper Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse was actually spasming!


    ��You �� What the hell did you do to Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao?�� Cheng Chongshan said in fear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I already said, I opened the jade slips�� restrictions and learn some things from there, and refined this thing. This thing is called Windward Topple, you �� should have heard of it before, right?��


    Cheng Chongshan��s expression changed wildly and he cried out in shock, ��W-Windward Topple! You �� You actually learned Windward Topple! Damn it, then aren��t we ����


    His voice had yet to fade when Cheng Chongshan��s mouth and eyes and went askew, his entire person suddenly started convulsing.


    With a thud, he fell to the ground.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    One powerhouse after another directly fell down, twitching on the ground.


    Tang Yu and the rest were dumbfounded by it.


    The sight of several hundred people toppling to the ground at the same time, eyes showing whites and twitching on the ground, was really too spectacular!


    [1] The story concerns a farmer who finds a viper freezing in the snow. Taking pity on it, he picks it up and places it within his coat. The viper, revived by the warmth, bites his rescuer, who dies realizing that it is his own fault.

 Chapter 2571 - Jade Face Swordsman!

    ��B-Big Brother, you��re really too incredible! What on earth is this Windward Topple? Why is it so powerful?�� Tang Yu raised a big thumbs up to Ye Yuan.


    Looking at the seemingly dead bodies all over the floor, Tang Yu had some lingering fear in his heart.


    The scene previously was really too deeply entrenched in the hearts of people.


    Ye Yuan scattered a handful of powder just like that and put down several hundred powerhouses.


    Even a powerhouse like Zhao Kun actually could not resist it either.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Windward Topple is a kind of powerful anesthetic. It won��t scatter when the wind blows and won��t become disorderly with a palm strike. But one will topple upon contact! Unless you prepare the antidote in advance, otherwise, it��s incurable under Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!��


    When Tang Yu heard, he could not help being tongue-tied.


    This thing was also too freakish!


    ��But you paralyzed them. How will this mess be cleaned up! If the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect knows, they will definitely destroy Eastward Country!�� Tang Yu said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I have my own ways.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan took out a small bottle again and waved it under the noses of Zhao Kun and co.


    Roughly an hour later, Zhao Kun slowly recovered, and his twitching also became sporadic.


    But, the occasional twitch still made people simmer with laughter.


    ��P-Punk, you �� ugh �� dare to make a move against me �� ugh, you��re dead for sure!�� Zhao Kun threatened Ye Yuan as he twitched.


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s disciples were rampant because their sect was strong.


    Just with Jun Tian dying, the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was indifferent about it.


    But Zhao Kun dying was different!


    Zhao Kun was one of the inner-sect��s top ten disciples with a promising future.


    If he died in Eastward Country, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect would definitely send down its wrath.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��A captive, can you stop posturing to me or not? Oh, forgot to tell you. What I let you smell earlier was called Seven-Seven Soul Recall. This poison, I believe that with Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao��s extensive knowledge and wide experiences, you should have heard of it before, right?��


    Hearing this name, Zhao Kun could not resist twitching.


    This time, he was frightened into twitching.


    Seven-Seven Soul Recall was unbelievably vicious.


    Once the poison erupted, one would be forcibly tormented for seven by seven, 49 days, before they kicked the bucket.


    In these 49 days, each day would be more miserable than the last. Ordinary people could not endure until the tenth day at all and would commit suicide.


    And this poison was precisely another specialty poison of the number one Jade Sovereign Heaven, Zhong Jianchou!


    Of course, these poisons were all poisons before he became famous.


    After he broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven, he no longer used these low-level poisons.


    However, using it to deal with him, Zhao Kun, was enough!


    ��You �� What do you want!�� Zhao Kun said in fear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I don��t want anything. I��m just planning on going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect together with you guys!��


    Zhao Kun��s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, ��You want to go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect?��


    Not just Zhao Kun, Tang Yu and the rest had surprised faces too.


    ��Big Brother, what are you going to the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect for? Jadetrue Heavenly Sect discriminates against ascenders the most! If you go, wouldn��t it be walking right into a trap?�� Tang Yu said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I naturally have my own reasons for going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect. Brother, all good things must come to an end, let��s split up here!��


    Although he knew that Ye Yuan would leave sooner or later, when this day really came, Tang Yu still felt very reluctant.


    From having an arm chopped off by Ye Yuan, to becoming Ye Yuan��s hardcore follower now.


    His admiration toward Ye Yuan could no longer be described using words long ago.


    ��Big Brother, I ���� Tang Yu choked.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No need to worry. Although the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect is averse to ascenders, they probably crave talents like a thirsty person craves for water too. Coupled with the strong recommendation of an inner-sect top ten disciple, I presume that entering the sect shouldn��t be hard. Isn��t that right, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao?��


    Zhao Kun��s expression flickered indeterminately and even twitched from time to time. But in the end, he could only nod too.


    No choice, being under people��s roof, there was no choice but to lower one��s head!


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan said was right, heavenly alchemists were very scarce in Jadetrue Heavenly Sect too.


    With Ye Yuan��s alchemy path strength, he could naturally gain a firm foothold after he went.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan reverse-detained Zhao Kun four people, and set off for Jadetrue Heavenly Sect


    As for Lin Lan, Ye Yuan had him stay in Eastward Country for the time being.


    He, an ascender, bringing a disciple into the sect, would be seriously conspicuous.


    Zhao Kun four people were depressed!


    They came to capture people. In the end, they became other people��s captives now!


    In Eastward Country, Ye Yuan rescued Second Prince and sentenced Eldest Prince to death.


    The struggle for the throne finally fell under ownership too.


    After settling everything, Ye Yuan detained the four people and headed to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan was going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect firstly, in order to look for the Heavenspan Mountain��s secret. Secondly, he also wanted to find a way to save Mu Lingxue.


    This kind of major sect with a deep foundation had many miraculous means.


    Perhaps they had the method to condense the divine soul?


    Of course, going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had some risk too.


    If the sect was hostile towards ascenders, he also had the possibility of delivering himself into the tiger��s maws.


    However, with Zhao Kun this bargaining chip around, Ye Yuan felt that the likelihood was not high.


    Ye Yuan was confident that with his alchemy path strength, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    As for Jun Tian this trouble, it was actually not considered troublesome at all.


    Just say that Jun Tian encountered a grade two true spirit in Inklight Forest and it would be done.


    An outer-sect deacon��s life and death, the sect definitely thought nothing of it.


    As for Ye Yuan, that was just a misunderstanding!


    Obtaining a transcendent heavenly alchemist and losing an insignificant outer-sect deacon.


    Weighing which was more important, he believed that the lords in the sect could gauge whether to advance or retreat.


    Going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect this time, it needed several years of trekking, and passing through more than ten major countries midway.


    These countries were all under the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s rule.


    A month later, the party left Eastward Country��s borders and arrived in the Ancient Dawn Country��s borders.


    In front of them was a stretch of desolate land.


    ��Ye Yuan, you used poison to control us. Aren��t you afraid of the sect��s elders discovering it?�� Zhao Kun said in a solemn voice.


    He was arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. So how could he be willing to be controlled by Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re also looking down on the number one Jade Sovereign Heaven��s poison arts too much! The reason why I chose the Seven-Seven Soul Recall poison is naturally that it isn��t easy to be figured out! As long as you all take my medicine on time, even if a grade three heavenly alchemist is here, they also won��t discover that you all are poisoned! This is unless Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses inspect you guys personally! Except, is there that possibility?��


    Zhao Kun��s expression changed, feeling despair in his heart.


    Thinking of how he had to live under Ye Yuan��s despotic power every day from now on, he was practically going insane!


    But what could going crazy do?


    Originally, he thought that he could make a big killing this time.


    Who would have expected that he actually buried himself alive in the end!


    Thinking up to here, his wrath knew no bounds and a foot kicked onto Cheng Chongshan��s body, kicking him flying.


    ��It��s all you, this pig! If not for you, how could I be controlled by others!�� Zhao Kun bellowed.


    Along the way, it was already not the first time that such a thing happened.


    Cheng Chongshan crawled up and said with a cold smile, ��If I��m a pig, aren��t you one too? A dignified inner-sect��s disciple that ranked among the top ten actually got taken down by someone without even knowing it!��


    When Zhao Kun heard that, he said in a great rage, ��F*cking hell, Your Father will kill you!��


    Suddenly, his figure stopped.


    Because he discovered that a white-robed swordsman was currently walking over with his hands behind his back!


    His gaze turned intent, and he cried out in surprise, ��A-Ascender! A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum ascender! You �� You��re Jade Face Swordsman, Luo Yunqing!��

 Chapter 2572 - Five Light Heavenly Region!

    ��Jade Face Swordsman, Luo Yunqing?�� Ye Yuan looked at the arrival with a frown, muttering to himself.


    This was his first time seeing an ascender apart from himself.


    The person in front of him did not hide his strength but displayed it openly.


    This imposing aura, he had clearly already broken through Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, and reached Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Furthermore, this person walked over calmly, but was like a sharp sword, forcing people until they could not open their eyes.


    Strong!


    This was the first impression that Jade Face Swordsman gave Ye Yuan!


    A hint of solemness also flashed across Ye Yuan��s face.


    This person was too strong, he was unable to contend at all.


    Looking at the reactions of Zhao Kun and the rest, the arrival did not come with friendly intentions!


    Luo Yunqing walked over slowly, seemingly slow, but in reality fast, arriving in front of them in a few breaths.


    ��Young man, come with me! True Yang Heavenly Domain isn��t suited for you!�� Luo Yunqing looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback. Clearly, he did not expect that this Luo Yunqing was actually here to solicit him.


    Zhao Kun had a shocked face as he said, ��Jade Face Swordsman Luo Yunqing actually came personally to be the guide!��


    Ye Yuan was at a loss, completely not knowing what they were talking about.


    Although he had arrived at Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven for a number of years, it was only limited to the remote land of Eastward Country. So he did not understand many things.


    Such as this guide.


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing and asked with a frown, ��Guide?��


    Luo Yunqing seemed to be very patient, saying with a light smile, ��Ascenders are scattered in all regions. However, in the vicinity of these Five Great Heavenly Regions, apart from Five Light Heavenly Region, the other four great heavenly regions are extremely averse to ascenders. In those regions, they will kill on sight! Therefore, Five Light Heavenly Region sent out many guides to enter deep into the four great heavenly regions, and guide ascenders into the Five Light Heavenly Region!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he suddenly came to a realization.


    Five Light Heavenly Region resisted the four great heavenly regions with the power of one region. So they naturally needed a lot of fresh power.


    But ascenders were spread all over the various major heavenly regions. Apart from Five Light Heavenly Region, there were very few ascenders who could survive.


    Hence, that was why there was a need for guides!


    However, looking at the expressions of Zhao Kun and the rest, this Luo Yunqing had a rather high status among guides.


    Ye Yuan shook his head, ��Sorry, I don��t have the plans of going to Five Light Heavenly Region for the time being!��


    Zhao Kun��s eyes because wide saucers, a look of astonishment on his face.


    That was Luo Yunqing!


    Luo Yunqing came to fetch him personally, how huge a face was this? This guy actually did not buy it!


    But Luo Yunqing was indifferent and said with a smile, ��You can��t go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect. Believe me, if you go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, you��ll die beyond a doubt!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��I don��t believe that!��


    Luo Yunqing seemed to be very patient and said, ��I know that your alchemy strength is head and shoulders above all others, but you don��t know Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s upper echelons�� attitude toward ascenders!��


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, ��Oh? What attitude?��


    Luo Yunqing said, ��The stronger you are, the more apprehensive Jadetrue Heavenly Sect will be toward you! Because Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s founding ancestor, Yan Jadetrue, was severely wounded by my Five Light Heavenly Region��s major power, and he perished in the end! And Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s supreme treasure, the Heavenspan Mountain, was also lost because of this. Therefore, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect is extremely antagonistic toward ascenders! If you go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, you��ll die without a doubt!��


    After Ye Yuan heard, his heart could not calm down for a long time.


    He did not expect that Yan Jadetrue actually died at the hands of Five Light Heavenly Region��s major power!


    If it was really as Luo Yunqing said, then he would really be walking right into a trap if he went to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Kun and said in a solemn voice, ��Is what he said true?��


    Zhao Kun had a blank face as he said, ��I �� I don��t know!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��This matter, very few ordinary disciples know of it, only those old undyings know. But in Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, they are extremely antagonistic toward ascenders. This is an undeniable fact!��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, appearing somewhat hesitant.


    Luo Yunqing continued, ��Whether what I said is real or fake, you��ll naturally know in the future. But it��s clearly not worth it for you to go and take the risk now. You��re a clever man. So you know what and how you should choose.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing and said, ��You seem to understand me very well!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��I��ve already laid low in Eastward imperial city for close to ten years! If not for you suddenly wanting to go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, I wouldn��t have shown myself either. If I take action here, I believe that Jadetrue Heavenly Sect won��t vent their anger on Eastward Country too.��


    Ye Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart. He did not expect that he was actually being monitored for as long as ten years!


    But Luo Yunqing had indeed considered things for him very much already.


    He knew that he regarded the connections in Eastward Country very highly, so he deliberately chose to take action at the border between the two countries.


    With Luo Yunqing��s strength, wanting to forcibly take him away did not take any effort at all.


    But, this level of powerhouse actually laid low for him for ten years!


    Furthermore, he was persuading him patiently here. Clearly, he regarded him very highly!


    Luo Yunqing could be said to have treated him extremely politely already.


    If he was still not sensible, it could not quite be justified anymore.


    Ye Yuan made up his mind and said, ��Alright, I��ll go with you!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled slightly and said, ��Many thanks, Brother Ye, for your understanding!��


    Thud!


    Right at this time, Zhao Kun suddenly knelt down and sobbed, ��L-Lord Luo, spare our lives!��


    Clearly, they dreaded this Luo Yunqing to the extreme.


    Luo Yunqing did not speak, several streaks of cold light flashed past and the four people were killed instantly!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. With his eyesight, he actually did not see how Luo Yunqing unleashed his sword!


    Strong!


    Really very strong!


    Four people dying, Luo Yunqing seemed to have done an insignificant thing and still smiled faintly as he said, ��My sword is very easy to recognize. Jadetrue Heavenly Sect won��t vent their anger on Eastward Country! Now, what else do you want to ask?��


    Luo Yunqing killed people in order to let Jadetrue Heavenly Sect know that he did it.


    This way, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s spearhead would be pointed at him and not Eastward Country.


    The consideration that he showed for Ye Yuan was really very thoughtful.


    Ye Yuan was well aware that concerning Luo Yunqing valuing him highly, it was actually taking fancy on his ability to refine pills.


    Ascenders were unable to refine pills. So Five Light Heavenly Region��s heavenly alchemists must be surprisingly rare.


    Furthermore, being limited by affinity, the standards of the heavenly alchemists there were likely not very good as well.


    Therefore, that was why a top powerhouse like Luo Yunqing would put his ego aside and converse with him as a peer.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I want to know about Five Light Heavenly Region��s matters!��


    Luo Yunqing nodded slightly and started talking tirelessly.


    It turned out that this region where the Five Great Heavenly Regions was situated was just a corner of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. It was called Rainclear Continent.


    On Rainclear Continent, there were originally only four great heavenly regions. There was no Five Light Heavenly Region.


    Native forces had always kept a high-pressure attitude toward ascenders.


    Countless ascenders died under the hands of the native forces.


    The ascenders were naturally unwilling to resign themselves to death.


    Hence, they joined forces and resisted the native factions.


    Ascenders had limitless potential, once they gained a foothold, their strength was very powerful.


    But ascenders were too scattered and too few compared to native factions.


    No idea how long had passed, how many wars had been experienced, and how many ascenders had died, before they forcefully carved out a piece of heavenly region called Five Light Heavenly Region!


    Since then, Five Light Heavenly Region became one of the Five Great Heavenly Regions!

 Chapter 2573 - Green Bull Town

    ��I don��t know why you must go to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, but if you go now, it��s no different from seeking death,�� Luo Yunqing said coolly.


    Although the Five Great Heavenly Regions had existed side by side for a long time, the friction between them had never stopped before.


    Especially the Five Light Heavenly Region and the other four great heavenly regions, they were practically incompatible like fire and water.


    Back then, Yan Jadetrue suddenly emerged, sweeping across True Yang Heavenly Domain. He led Jadetrue Heavenly Sect to become True Yang Heavenly Domain��s number one great sect.


    Later, Yan Jadetrue teamed up with the other three great heavenly regions to besiege Five Light Heavenly Region.


    That battle was fought until floating corpses spanned ten thousand miles!


    However, in that era, an even more monstrous genius emerged in the Five Light Heavenly Region, called Zhuo Bufan.


    He led the Five Light Heavenly Region and killed until heaven and earth dimmed, and the sun and moon were without light.


    Zhuo Bufan even overpowered Yan Jadetrue and the rest of the four great powerhouses with his power alone, and he severely injured his opponents.


    Since then, the Five Light Heavenly Region finally stabilized under the pincer attacks of the four great heavenly regions.


    Of course, after this matter, the Five Great Heavenly Regions suffered a great loss in vitality and entered the stage of recuperation and rest.


    After Ye Yuan heard, he finally had some understanding of the history of the Rainclear Continent.


    Presumably, the Heavenspan Mountain was seriously damaged after that battle, that was why Yan Jadetrue would nourish the Heavenspan Mountain with the Heavenspan World as fodder.


    It was just that what happened later, one had no knowledge of it.


    But no matter what, the Heavenspan World finally escaped this calamity!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright, this matter, consider it that I owe Senior Luo a favor. When I have a chance in the future, I��ll definitely repay it!��


    Luo Yunqing appearing at this time was equivalent to saving Ye Yuan��s life.


    This favor, Ye Yuan naturally had to repay it.


    After that battle, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect fell into decline, they naturally hated ascenders to the bones.


    Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��Getting Brother Ye��s promise, this Luo feels overwhelmed by an unexpected favor! My Five Light Heavenly Region is severely lacking in heavenly alchemists. With Brother Ye��s ability, you��ll definitely be a big shot in the future!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Luo is too kind! Wonder what��s the situation in this Five Light Heavenly Region?��


    Mentioning this, a hint of melancholy flashed across the corners of Luo Yunqing��s eyebrows, and he said, ��Actually, my Five Light Heavenly Region��s situation isn��t optimistic at present either! The Five Light Heavenly Region belongs to five great heavenly sects. Originally, under Lord Zhuo��s lead, the five great heavenly sects pooled their efforts and were of one mind, their strength astonishing! But after that battle, Lord Zhuo also disappeared, and the five great heavenly sects were without any leader. None could convince the others, each governing themselves. This Luo belongs to the western sect, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, in charge of the True Yang Heavenly Domain!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��In that case, after I enter Five Light Heavenly Region, I��ll be entering Martial Secure Heavenly Sect too?��


    Luo Yunqing smiled lightly and said, ��After ordinary ascenders are led over, they don��t have the qualifications to join a heavenly sect. They must go through the heavenly sect��s test before they can become an outer-sect disciple. Even more so, most people can only enter subordinate countries. Of course, with Brother Ye��s means, these cumbersome procedures are naturally not necessary.��


    As he said, Luo Yunqing handed Ye Yuan a green-colored token and said, ��My Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has blue, red, green, and purple, corresponding to four levels of protectors, with purple protectors having the highest status! This green-wing token represents the identity of a green-wing protector. When you hold this token, your status in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will be second only to this Luo!��


    Ye Yuan took the token rather surprisedly, not expecting Luo Yunqing to actually give him such a high status all of a sudden.


    No need to think that he also knew that green-wing protectors definitely needed the strength of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum before it could be granted.


    But, he gave it to him, this Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, ��Many thanks, Senior Luo!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled lightly and said, ��This Luo has laid low for ten years and knows much about Brother Ye. I know that this green-wing token might be low. But your current cultivation realm is low. It��s hard to convince the masses if given too high a status too. This Luo is really looking forward to Brother Ye amazing the world with a single brilliant feat in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! Alright, it��s getting late. Let��s hurry to the borders first. There will be someone there to send you guys into Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and followed Luo Yunqing and left.


    Before departure, the two quietly sneaked into Eastward Country and fetched Lin Lan away.


    �� ��


    Green Bull Town, a small town on the borders of True Yang Heavenly Domain and Five Light Heavenly Region.


    Ye Yuan three people trekked ten thousand miles and finally arrived here after half a year.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect had set up many guide points at the borders. Green Bull Town was one of them.


    Upon entering Green Bull Town, Luo Yunqing��s expression suddenly turned dark.


    Green Bull Town was already a wasteland.


    Inside the town, there were dead bodies everywhere with heavy casualties.


    ��L-Lord Luo! You �� You finally came back!�� At this time, a middle-aged man came up to greet them, having a look of excitement when he saw Luo Yunqing.


    The middle-aged man was covered with wounds all over, looking very miserable.


    Luo Yunqing frowned and said, ��Yao Qing, what��s going on?��


    Yao Qing complained tearfully, ��I don��t know what��s going on either. Many of our guide points were exposed. Leng Dongyu brought a large number of experts and ransacked many of our guide points. We suffered heavy casualties! Just yesterday, a group of experts from Jadetrue Heavenly Sect suddenly attacked Green Bull Town. Lord Ding Shao died in battle. Of the several hundred ascenders in the town, the casualties are more than 70%! We �� We can��t swallow this insult!��


    Luo Yunqing��s gaze gradually turned cold.


    Ye Yuan felt killing intent from his body!


    ��Leng Dongyu, huhu, very good!��


    Luo Yunqing��s smile gave everyone a bone-piercing chill.


    He said to Yao Qing, ��You gather the remnants of the defeated troops and withdraw to the heavenly sect first! Let me handle the matters here!��


    Yao Qing answered, ��Yes!��


    Luo Yunqing turned to Ye Yuan again and said, ��Brother Ye, I was originally planning on sending you back to the sect personally. Looking at it now, it seems like it��s impossible! Along the way, Yao Qing will escort you all back to the sect.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Senior Luo just go ahead. This Ye isn��t so hypocritical. I have some little gimmicks here; they don��t have much effect on Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums, but they might have some effect at critical moments! Senior Luo��s trip will be dangerous, why don��t you bring it along.��


    Luo Yunqing was noncommittal toward this, but he could not brush Ye Yuan��s face aside. He took them and said, ��Then it will be disrespectful for this Luo to decline! After this Luo returns to the sect, I��ll have a drink with you! I��m going!��


    His voice had yet to fade when his entire person already turned into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing.


    Hearing the two people��s conversation, Yao Qing was incredibly shocked in his heart.


    Lord Luo actually addressed a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum as his brother!


    Just what origin was this boy?


    Yao Qing did not dare to be neglectful and said to Ye Yuan, ��This little brother, this Yao will bring you to the resting area first. We��ll set off tomorrow morning.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I��ll have to trouble Brother Yao! Lin Lan, you follow Brother Yao and see if you can help with anything.��


    Lin Lan bowed and said, ��Yes, Master!��


    Yao Qing was taken aback. Looking at Lin Lan strangely, he said in surprise, ��You aren��t an ascender!��


    Lin Lan said, ��This Lin is a grade two heavenly alchemist. Maybe I can be of some help.��


    The moment Yao Qing heard, he was even more surprised.


    An exalted grade two heavenly alchemist actually acknowledged an ascender as his master?


    His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of doubts.


    Just what kind of person was this guy?

 Chapter 2574 - Brought Back to Life!

    During the entire night, Lin Lan became the busiest person in Green Bull Town.


    Of course, he also became the most respected person.


    A grade two heavenly alchemist treated these ascenders without any airs.


    These people went from having skepticism at the very beginning to being very respectful later on.


    ��Master Lin, you��re really a miracle-working doctor! With just a few moves, most of my internal injuries have healed.��


    ��Master Lin, without you, don��t know how many of us will have to die this time!��


    ��Master Lin, you hurry up and help me look. I��ve already waited for a long time!��


    �� ��


    Seeing these looks that worshiped him, Lin Lan felt very content.


    He had once held overwhelming power and influence, being far removed from the masses and reality.


    He had once gotten lost in it. Only now did he understand that people only had fear towards him, and had no respect.


    But now, the ascenders here only had respect towards him and had no fear.


    This feeling of being needed by people was great!


    Furthermore, he increasingly felt that Ye Yuan was unfathomable.


    After obtaining Ye Yuan��s guidance, his medical skills and Alchemy Dao both advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Only at this time did he understand that what he was playing with in the past, was simply child��s play!


    In the past, he felt that the road before his eyes was getting narrower and narrower.


    But now, he felt that it was a wide path ahead!


    ��Squeezing for what? Squeezing for what? Where did this impudent brat come from, don��t you have any civic-mindedness? Keep squeezing, do you believe that Your Father will beat you up?�� At the back, an impatient voice suddenly came over.


    ��This brother, can you excuse me a bit?��


    Outside Lin Lan��s house, it was surrounded until not even water could seep through. Ye Yuan was unable to enter and could only notify the people in front.


    Duan Tao turned his head and saw Ye Yuan, and said with a frown, ��Making a row for what, don��t you see that Master Lin is currently treating someone? Want to find him to treat, go queue up at the back!��


    Ye Yuan was speechless and said, ��I��m not here for treatment. I��m here to find Lin Lan.��


    The moment Duan Tao heard, he was even more enraged and said, ��Impudent! Is Master Lin��s name what you can call? Get lost to one side! If you disturb Master Lin, Your Father will tear you to shreds!��


    Duan Tao was the boss of this group of ascenders, his strength being the strongest, already reaching the grand completion of Lesser Sublime Heaven Realm.


    The order here was also maintained by him.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually wanted to enter without queuing, he was the first to be indignant.


    Ye Yuan was helpless. Furthermore, he did not want to disturb Lin Lan��s treatment either, so he went to one side to wait.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was so obedient, Duan Tao smiled coldly and said, ��Coward! Cutting the queue in front of your Big Brother Duan, really tired of living!��


    When the rest saw that Ye Yuan was like this, they all responded with a bout of snickering.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him and found a place to stand.


    This angle could just nice see the scene of Lin Lan��s treatment through the crown.


    No idea how long had passed either, Lin Lan finally finished treating everyone before planning on going to find Ye Yuan.


    ��Master Lin came out! Quickly make way!�� Duan Tao hurriedly said.


    ��Heh heh, Master Lin��s methods have truly attained the acme of perfection, really a divine doctor! I represent Green Bull Town��s ascenders to express gratitude to Master Lin,�� Duan Tao praised with admiration.


    His words came from the bottom of his heart.


    Many people were seriously injured and might have kicked the bucket if they did not receive timely treatment.


    Lin Lan smiled and said, ��You��re welcome!��


    Duan Tao said, ��Master Lin, Lord Yao said that he went to arrange the withdrawal matters, and will come and see you in a while!��


    Lin Lan nodded slightly but walked outside.


    As soon as he went out, he saw Ye Yuan.


    Duan Tao saw Ye Yuan too and said with a frown, ��Brat, why are you still here? Since you��re not injured, go to Lord Yao there to help out, he needs people there! Quickly scram!��


    Finished speaking, he hurriedly explained to Lin Lan, ��Master Lin, this boy wanted to jump in line just now, and was chased to one side by me ����


    Duan Tao was currently talking tirelessly, but Lin Lan arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    He was just about to bow, but he heard Ye Yuan say, ��Taiyuan acupoint��s technique was 30% too heavy, the divine essence of Tuigoing doesn��t have a stable enough aura, the quantity of Fragrance Stopping Grass is slightly over by five grams ����


    Ye Yuan said a whole bunch in one breath. At first, everyone was a little confused.


    But very soon, they discovered that what Ye Yuan said was precisely the method and dosage that Lin Lan treated the people with just now.


    After Duan Tao heard, he could not help snickering as he said, ��Brat, who do you think you are, to actually dare teach Master Lin?��


    ��A measly Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum is actually giving pointers to a grade two heavenly alchemist! Are you crazy?��


    ��Master Lin, you go first. Let us take care of this fool.��


    �� ��


    Very soon, a series of snickering came from all around.


    A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was actually giving pointers to a grade two heavenly alchemist, this scene was really very comical.


    However, Ye Yuan ignored them and carried on talking on his own.


    Duan Tao got impatient and scolded, ��Brat, Master Lin won��t haggle over it with you and you��re showing off? Are you done yet? Do you believe that Your Father will exterminate you right now?��


    Duan Tao rolled his sleeves up and was about to make a move against Ye Yuan.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan also just happened to finish talking.


    Lin Lan gave a bow and said, ��Thank you, Master, for your guidance!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Diligence can make up for your weakness, but your talent is a bit poor. Fortunately, you came to realize the truth in time. Practice more and you will be able to comprehend it.��


    ��Yes, Master!�� Lin Lan bowed piously again.


    Everyone around was completely dumbfounded.


    Especially Duan Tao, he froze there very awkwardly.


    ��M-Master?��


    ��What did Master Lin call just now? D-Did I hear wrongly?��


    ��What a joke! Master Lin actually acknowledged a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum as his master!��


    ��That��s right, it must be a joke! Huhu, Master Lin is joking with everyone.��


    �� ��


    The crowd burst into an uproar all at once.


    They were all waiting to watch Ye Yuan��s show. In the end, Lin Lan really bowed!


    Lin Lan appeared extremely respectful in front of Ye Yuan.


    Truly unbelievable!


    But right at this time, several figures suddenly appeared in everyone��s line of sight.


    The pupils of Duan Tao and the rest shrunk, looking at the arrivals with looks of amazement.


    ��M-Ma Liang! Du Qian! A-Aren��t you guys dead? How �� How did you come back to life again?�� Duan Tao said in horror.


    Yao Qing led a few people and appeared.


    The crowd burst into an uproar again!


    Because the few people behind Yao Qing were all people who had already been confirmed dead!


    Furthermore, they were all thrown into the dead people pile.


    Now, they actually appeared in front of them perfectly well, how could this not be surprising?


    ��How is this possible, you guys are actually not dead!��


    ��Hang on, could it be that you all were refined into puppets by someone? Right, it must be so!��


    �� ��


    When Ma Liang heard this, he could not help saying in a great rage, ��Jiang Yang you moron! You��re the one who��s refined into a puppet! F*cking hell! I was saved by Master Ye, and yet you actually cursed me to die!��


    Several people arrived in front of Ye Yuan, bowed to the ground, and said, ��We thank Master Ye for your grace of saving our lives. This kindness will be engraved in our hearts.��


    Ye Yuan let Lin Lan come here and treat ascenders. So he naturally would not be idle himself.


    He went to those who were almost dead and could not be saved, and he forcefully saved four lives from among them!


    These four people were precisely Ma Liang four people!


    Yao Qing looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked face. When he saw these few people earlier, he got a big scare too.


    How were dead people alive again?


    But only after hearing Ma Liang and the rest did he understand that it turned out, they were actually brought back to life by Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 2575 - Bullying People

    ��This �� This is a joke, right? You guys have already been confirmed dead at that time!�� Duan Tao had a look of horror, full of disbelief.


    Especially Du Qian, he personally inspected him, and he was absolutely deader than dead. How could he possibly come back to life again?


    Du Qian sneered and said, ��I thought that I was dead too, but I was saved by Master Ye! Your Father��s life will be Master Ye��s in the future!��


    Ma Liang also said, ��That��s right! Your Father is someone who has died once. This life will be sold to Master Ye in the future!��


    The four people who were brought back to life made known their attitudes one after another.


    They all knew how severe their injuries were back then.


    That was right, it should be said that they were dead men!


    But Ye Yuan actually had the ability to revive the dead, forcefully dragging them back from King Yama��s hall.


    Duan Tao this bunch of people looked toward Ye Yuan with looks of amazement, being shocked speechless.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was an opportunist plus a coward.


    But they did not expect that he was actually a big shot!


    Master Lin that they worshiped was actually Ye Yuan��s disciple!


    If not for seeing with their own eyes, they would not believe it at all!


    ��It turns out that Brother Ye is actually a miracle-working doctor! No wonder Lord Luo personally guided you over! Brother Ye master and disciple helped our Green Bull Town out a great deal.�� As Yao Qing said, he gave a bow to Ye Yuan.


    ��What! Lord Yao, Lord Luo that you speak of, could it be �� Jade Face Swordsman, Lord Luo Yunqing?�� Duan Tao exclaimed in surprise.


    Yao Qing nodded and said, ��Who else is there apart from him?��


    ��It��s actually him!��


    ��Lord Luo actually came to guide Master Ye personally!��


    ��This is a great honor!��


    �� ��


    Usually, only some Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums would be sent out to guide these ascenders.


    A very small number would send out Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    But there were none who could make Luo Yunqing personally guide an ascendeder at all!


    But Ye Yuan could actually make Lord Luo Yunqing as a guide personally. This in itself indicated many problems!


    Some of these ascenders had already stayed in Green Bull Town for a long time and naturally knew of Luo Yunqing��s awe-inspiring reputation.


    This was a big shot who made even the entire Jadetrue Heavenly Sect extremely apprehensive!


    It was extremely hard for them to even see Luo Yunqing once; let alone talk about being guided personally.


    ��This �� This �� This lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Master Ye, please punish!�� Duan Tao��s forehead broke out in cold sweat and he said respectfully.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s not a big deal. No need to mind it. It��s getting late. Brother Yao, let��s set off.��


    Yao Qing nodded and took a flying boat out of the storage bracelet that he carried on him.


    The party rode the flying boat and whizzed away.


    �� ��


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, being hidden among ten thousand mountains, had a majestic and grand atmosphere.


    This place gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there were faint signs of dragons prancing for ten thousand miles.


    Everyone landed, and they were stunned by the scenery before their eyes.


    ��My Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is one of Five Light Heavenly Region��s five great heavenly sects. It��s quite a lot stronger than Jadetrue Heavenly Sect too! However, wanting to stay in the sect, it will have to depend on your talents and strength,�� Yao Qing said.


    ��Heh, Lord Yao, I, Duan Tao��s talent, is one in a million! It��s naturally not difficult to enter the heavenly sect!�� Duan Tao said confidently.


    Yao Qing could not help laughing as he said, ��It��s no use for you to boast here to me. Those capable of ascending to the 33 Heavens, which one isn��t of outstanding talent? But that��s also just in your world! The 33 Heavens isn��t as simple as you think! Just having good talent in small chiliocosms is useless!��


    Duan Tao still did not believe it and was secretly holding it in.


    The other ascenders naturally did not believe it either.


    For these people to be able to ascend from small chiliocosms or great trichiliocosms, they all advanced in the midst of slaughter and grew up in the midst of struggle.


    Each one was of the very best talent.


    How arrogant at heart and haughty in manner were these people? How could they believe that they were unable to pass a mere sect assessment?


    Yao Qing led everyone to a mountain peak in the front range and said to everyone, ��The heavenly sect��s assessment is once every ten years! This incident happened suddenly, so we��re returning to the heavenly sect early. There��s still a year to the sect assessment. This period of time, you will be cultivating here. This place is where servants live. Although you all don��t need to do miscellaneous chores, you��ll still be subjected to the constraints of the heavenly sect! Of course, if there are those who can��t stand it, you can leave the heavenly sect and enter ordinary countries.��


    ��Your Excellency, what��s there that can��t be endured? Isn��t it just one year, it will pass very quickly,�� Duan Tao said indifferently.


    Yao Qing just smiled and did not talk.


    He turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Brother Ye, I��ve arranged a first-class residence for you, follow me.��


    Everyone naturally had no objections regarding this.


    Yao Qing arranged a courtyard for Ye Yuan and had him live with Lin Lan.


    Settling Ye Yuan down, Yao Qing returned to the sect.


    He had to report Green Bull Town��s matter to the sect.


    Luo Yunqing left in a hurry and did not have time to hand over many things.


    Ye Yuan was a stranger in a strange land in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. It was naturally inconvenient to flash his identity as a protector too.


    Everything still had to wait for Luo Yunqing to return before talking.


    After all, a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum taking on the post of the heavenly sect��s protector was seriously too outrageous.


    Ye Yuan was also not some young and inexperienced fledgling. He naturally would not think that the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was an otherworldly paradise.


    In reality, the way Ye Yuan saw it, Five Light Heavenly Region��s living environment might be even crueler than True Yang Heavenly Domain.


    After all, ascenders were all people who were decisive in going for the kill, their personalities were quite different from native powerhouses.


    What he expected was right, the next day, something happened already.


    Duan Tao, Ma Liang, and the rest, all went to find Ye Yuan with bloody noses and swollen faces.


    One of Duan Tao��s legs was actually broken directly, even his bone was poking out.


    Looking at the few people, Ye Yuan said speechlessly, ��The few of you can really cause trouble! Just one day and you guys already clashed with those servants?��


    Duan Tao grimaced in pain and said, ��Master Ye, they �� are bullying people too much!��


    Ma Liang also said, ��Yeah! That Li Zhuo is unreasonable, he came to find us early this morning, and made us each hand over 30 pieces of heavenly crystals according to the number of people! One less piece, break one leg! For the few of us, our situation is slightly better and can still hand it over. But the majority of the people can��t take out so many heavenly crystals! Duan Tao was furious and had a quarrel with that Li Zhuo. In the end, it became like this!��


    Ye Yuan asked curiously, ��Those servants shouldn��t have reached Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum too, right? Duan Tao, you��re at the grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven Realm, and yet you��re actually not a match?��


    The moment Duan Tao heard, he wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    He only dared to take action because he saw that the other party had strength that was similar to his.


    But who knew that he did not even survive three moves and was crippled.


    Ma Liang said, ��These servants are really very strong! Duan Tao��s strength is the strongest among us. But he was actually crippled in three moves! They even said that tomorrow is the deadline. If we can��t hand over the heavenly crystals, each person will have two legs broken!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��For the Five Light Heavenly Region to be able to forcibly carve out a great heavenly region in the crevice of the four great heavenly regions, it��s naturally extremely strong! It looks like I also somewhat looked down on the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! Lin Lan, fetch some heavenly crystals for them and let them make do with it a bit tomorrow.��

 Chapter 2576 - Beating a Dog, One Also Needed to Look at the Owner!

    ��I couldn��t tell that you guys have some savings! If you had been so obedient earlier, wouldn��t you not need to suffer physical hardship anymore?�� Li Zhuo weighed the heavenly crystals in his hand with a smug expression.


    Duan Tao and the rest had indignant looks as they said, ��Li Zhuo, the heavenly crystals have already been given to you. Is it okay now?��


    Li Zhuo smiled and said, ��Brat, broke your leg yesterday, and you��re already skipping and jumping about today? Looks like there��s someone capable among you guys! Oh, right, you all went to Little Cloud Courtyard yesterday, right?��


    Little Cloud Courtyard was Ye Yuan��s residence.


    The expressions of Duan Tao and the rest changed, and they said, ��Li Zhuo, I advise that you��d better not have designs on him! Otherwise, you��ll die very horribly!��


    Li Zhuo laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��On Thousand Bird Peak, there is no one that I, Li Zhuo, can��t afford to provoke! Just the likes of you guys, these rookies who just ascended, you can also make me can��t afford to provoke? Even if his talent is pretty good, staying in Little Cloud Courtyard, he has to grovel for Your Father obediently too!��


    By the side, a lapdog said smugly, ��You all probably don��t know, Big Brother Zhuo is the inner disciple��s, Lord Lu Zhanyuan��s, personal servant! It��s fine if you guys have never heard of Lord Lu Zhanyuan before. You��ll hear his name in the future! You just have to know that Lord Lu Zhanyuan is an existence ranked in the top three among inner disciples too!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of Duan Tao and the rest changed greatly.


    They could not imagine that a puny little servant actually had such a powerful background.


    Duan Tao they all knew that Yao Qing was an inner disciple.


    But Yao Qing��s ranking among inner disciples was not high.


    Ranked top three among inner disciples, that was absolutely a big shot!


    Even if they entered the heavenly sect in the future, they had to give Li Zhuo some face too!


    It was not bragging that he said there was no one he could not afford to provoke.


    Another lackey said, ��Lord Lu Zhanyuan treats our Big Brother Zhuo very well! Not only does he impart him with cultivation methods and teach him martial techniques, but he��s also even very protective of his own people!��


    Li Zhuo had a smug look as he said, ��So, you guys understand it? No matter how impressive you all were in the Lower Realms, you have to tuck your tails between your legs in this place and behave! Putting aside whether or not you all can enter the heavenly sect, even if you enter, you have to start as an outer sect disciple too! How great the disparity between an outer sect disciple and the inner sect��s top three, huhu, you all will understand in the future! Since you all came, then those chores from the sect will be done with you all then!��


    The faces of Duan Tao and the rest became black as the bottom of a pot.


    They finally understood what Yao Qing meant.


    Enduring a year in this kind of environment was not an easy thing!


    While talking, Li Zhuo already brought a group of people and headed to Little Cloud Courtyard.


    The faces of Duan Tao and the rest changed, hurriedly following.


    Bang!


    A lackey kicked open Little Cloud Courtyard��s gates and yelled, ��The punk inside, get out!��


    While talking, a large group of people poured into Little Cloud Courtyard.


    But right at this time, a figure flashed, blocking their way.


    It was precisely Lin Lan!


    When everyone saw Lin Lan, they could not help turning pale with fright!


    No one expected that a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was actually staying in this Little Cloud Courtyard!


    A lackey said in horror, ��You �� You��re an aboriginal! An aboriginal actually appeared here!��


    ��You all dared to barge into Little Cloud Courtyard and disturb Master, courting death!�� Lin Lan said in a solemn voice.


    ��M-Master?�� Li Zhuo and the rest exchanged glances and could not help revealing looks of surprise.


    To be able to make a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse call master, what kind of existence did that have to be?


    Could it be that an incredible big shot was staying in this Little Cloud Courtyard?


    But why would such an important person stay in Little Cloud Courtyard?


    ��Lin Lan, those who barged into the courtyard, break their legs and throw them out! Oh, right, remember to loot the heavenly crystals on them.�� At this time, a voice came from inside.


    Lin Lan bowed and said, ��Yes, Master!��


    The moment Li Zhuo heard, he laughed loudly and said, ��You dare to touch me? I��m Lord Lu Zhanyuan��s personal servant, if you dare touch a hair of mine, he definitely won��t let you off!��


    Lin Lan rolled his eyes at him and gave a word, ��Idiot!��


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Miserable screams rose and ebbed, those who barged into the courtyard all had their legs broken by Lin Lan and thrown out.


    The miserable wails sounded continuously.


    Lin Lan was not courteous either, directly ransacking the heavenly crystals on them cleanly.


    Not only did he take back the one previously, he even robbed them clean.


    When Duan Tao and the rest saw it, they were completely stunned.


    Master Ye was really domineering!


    ��Ouch, my legs! You aboriginal, and also the one inside, you guys are dead for sure! Beating a dog, you still need to look at the owner! Lord Lu Zhanyuan won��t let you all off! Ouch, quickly carry me away!��


    ��Pfft!�� When Duan Tao and the rest heard that, they all burst out laughing.


    This Li Zhuo was the best too, to actually compare himself to a dog.


    It seemed like he got used to being a dog!


    Li Zhuo was carried away by people while saying fierce words.


    Came in a threatening manner, but left with broken limbs.


    Only after seeing Li Zhuo and the rest leave did Duan Tao and the rest swarm in.


    ��Master Ye, this matter is blown up! That Lu Zhanyuan is among the inner sect��s top three!�� Duan Tao said.


    ��Master Ye, it��s all our fault, causing such a huge problem for you! You rest assured. If that Lu Zhanyuan dares to come, he can step over my corpse!�� Ma Liang patted his chest and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Alright, isn��t it just the inner sect��s number three? Look how it got you all worried! All go back. I have to cultivate.��


    Everyone exchanged glances, their faces speechless.


    Master Ye was also too reckless, right?


    That was the inner sect��s number three!


    ��All go back! Isn��t it just the inner sect��s number three? You guys are also looking down on Master��s means too much! Forget about number three, even if the inner sect��s number one came, he won��t think anything of it too!�� Lin Lan said nonchalantly.


    Duan Tao and the rest were speechless. This master and disciple two people were indeed cut from the same cloth!


    Being the inner sect��s number three, Lu Zhanyuan��s strength was at least an upper Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse too!


    He might even be a grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse!


    Even Lin Lan this Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse was not enough to fill the crevices between his teeth too.


    This master and disciple two people actually did not take him seriously in the slightest!


    �� ��


    ��My lord, you have to stand up for this lowly one!�� Li Zhuo came to Lu Zhanyuan here and wept bitterly.


    Seeing Li Zhuo��s injuries, Lu Zhanyuan also frowned slightly.


    Li Zhuo��s legs were broken. Even if treatment was done, he could probably forget about recovering without spending half a year.


    The blow was dealt rather viciously.


    Li Zhuo this servant normally served him very well; he was still very satisfied with Li Zhuo��s service.


    Beating a dog, one also needed to look at the owner; there was this logic.


    It hit Li Zhuo��s body, but what it hit was him, this number three��s face!


    ��Didn��t you say my, Lu Zhanyuan��s, name?�� Lu Zhanyuan said with a frown.


    ��Said it! It was fine when I didn��t say it. But when I said it, they were even invigorated! They even said that if Your Excellency went, they would still beat anyway!�� Li Zhuo embellished the details.


    Sure enough, the moment Lu Zhanyuan heard, his brows furrowed even harder.


    ��Huhu, he hasn��t even entered the heavenly sect yet, and he��s domineering until like this! I want to see which god is staying in that Little Cloud Courtyard!�� Lu Zhanyuan��s gaze turned chilly as he said in a cold voice.

 Chapter 2577 - Break the Legs, Throw Out!

    ��That��s the inner sect��s number three, Lu Zhanyuan! He �� He really came!��


    ��Heh, beating a dog, one also needs to look at the owner! Little Cloud Courtyard beat Li Zhuo; it��s smacking Lu Zhanyuan��s face! How can he possibly swallow the insult silently?��


    ��Little Cloud Courtyard��s master is very mysterious! With two tigers fighting, I wonder who will win and who will lose!��


    ��What rubbish! Lu Zhanyuan is a grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse! How can that guy who hasn��t even entered the sect yet possibly be his match?��


    �� ��


    A large group of people went up Thousand Bird Peak while howling, heading for Little Cloud Courtyard.


    This line-up caused a great sensation.


    Thousand Bird Peak��s people were virtually all here.


    Everyone wanted to see just what kind of person this Little Cloud Courtyard��s master was!


    This guy was too mysterious!


    Lu Zhanyuan was dressed in blue-white alternating inner-sect attire, looking elegant and suave, classy and natural.


    This kind of person carried the halo of the main character.


    Wherever he went, he was the center of everyone��s attention.


    Just one look and you would be able to recognize him in the crowd.


    There were even some inner disciples who followed to watch the show.


    Duan Tao and the rest came to inquire, all having worried expressions on their faces.


    ��I��ve already asked around. Lu Zhanyuan��s strength is extremely strong! Even though he is only at the grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven Realm, even if he encounters a powerhouse who just entered Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he has the strength to fight too! His strength greatly surpasses his cultivation realm in itself!�� Duan Tao said with a solemn face.


    Ma Liang��s expression flickered indeterminately and he said, ��This �� What to do about this? No matter how strong Master Ye is, it��s also impossible to be Lu Zhanyuan��s match! Sigh, it��s all our fault!��


    Du Qian gritted his teeth and said, ��No way! We can��t let Lu Zhanyuan deal with Master Ye! Even if he wants to deal with him, he also has to step over our dead bodies!��


    Finished saying, his face revealed a hint of a decisive look.


    Li Zhuo was carried over by people, but he had an excited look, his eyes giving off light.


    How long had it been since he, Li Zhuo, had been beaten up by someone until like this?


    The person who beat him had to pay the price!


    ��Come, men! Kick the door open for me!�� Li Zhuo shouted.


    Bang!


    A lackey gave a kick and directly busted Little Cloud Courtyard��s door open.


    Li Zhuo said in a clear voice, ��The people inside, listen up! The inner sect��s number three, Lord Lu Zhanyuan, has arrived in person. Why haven��t you all come out to greet in prostration?��


    No one acknowledged him!


    Lu Zhanyuan��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly very unhappy already.


    Li Zhuo already reported his name, but the people inside actually did not even let out a fart. Clearly, they thought nothing of him.


    Li Zhuo sneered in his heart. He understood his master too well.


    Little Cloud Courtyard��s master was so arrogant. So his master must already be greatly enraged.


    The more furious his master was, the more severe the consequences!


    ��Impudent! You, a fellow who hasn��t even entered the sect yet, why haven��t you come out to kneel in prostration after seeing an inner disciple?�� Li Zhuo said in a great rage.


    Behind Lu Zhanyuan, the people all drew a breath of cold air.


    This Little Cloud Courtyard��s master was really too domineering!


    That was Lu Zhanyuan, but he actually did not even acknowledge him!


    Sure enough, Lu Zhanyuan��s expression became grimmer and grimmer.


    Even with his back facing everyone, they still felt a massive aura.


    Being the inner sect��s number three did not come from boasting!


    ��Heh, your esteemed self really has such haughty airs! I, Lu Zhanyuan, came to this puny little Thousand Bird Peak, and you actually dare to not come out and greet! No matter who��s inside, come out now and kneel down and apologize. Then this matter will be considered over! Otherwise, if this Lu takes action, the severity will be hard to say!��


    Lu Zhanyuan suppressed his fury to his utmost, but everyone could feel his wrath at this time.


    At this time, a figure walked out of the side room, it was precisely Lin Lan.


    He said to Lu Zhanyuan coolly, ��My master isn��t seeing guests, leave! He said that no matter who it is, as long as they step into the courtyard �� break the legs and throw out!��


    Break the legs, throw out!


    These words were unbelievably domineering!


    But it also had to depend on who it was said to!


    The other party was the inner sect��s number three, Lu Zhanyuan!


    People looked at Lin Lan like looking at a mad man.


    An inner disciple shook his head and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��It��s over. Senior Apprentice Brother Lu is going to go utterly berserk! This courtyard��s master is really a lunatic, to even dare provoke Senior Apprentice Brother Lu too!��


    ��Huhu, he probably doesn��t know what kind of existence inner sect��s number three is! Postured too hard!�� Another person shook his head and said with a sigh.


    At this time, Lu Zhanyuan was already beyond furious.


    Everyone felt that a volcano was about to erupt.


    ��Huhu, is that so? Then today, this Lu will barge into this Little Cloud Courtyard and take a look whether this place is a dragon��s lair or tiger��s den or not!�� Lu Zhanyuan laughed from extreme fury.


    His foot also strode out and stepped into the courtyard.


    But at this time, several figures suddenly dashed out.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, if you want to step into the courtyard, step over our dead bodies!�� The one talking was precisely Ma Liang.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, I beg you to raise your hand high in mercy. Don��t haggle over it with Master Ye!�� Du Qian also said with a decisive look.


    No one expected that these few people actually dared to jump out at this time.


    ��Get lost!��


    Lu Zhanyuan roared, the few people spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly and were directly sent flying out.


    The inner sect��s number three was utterly terrifying!


    He did not even make a move. Just based on a sound wave, he sent the grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven Duan Tao flying!


    Lu Zhanyuan completely ignored the few people and stepped right into the courtyard.


    He looked at Lin Lan and said with a sneer, ��This Lu entered now. I want to see just how you break my legs!��


    As he said, he took another step forward and closed in on Lin Lan.


    Everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    They were all anxious!


    Not that they were anxious about Lu Zhanyuan��s legs being broken but anxious whether or not he would dismantle Little Cloud Courtyard under his rage.


    How could breaking Lu Zhanyuan��s legs be possible?


    Lu Zhanyuan closed in on Lin Lan step by step. However, Lin Lan did not move a muscle all along, as if he did not have the intention to make a move.


    ��Huhu, still not making a move? If you still don��t make a move, this Lu will be attacking! Once this Lu takes action, it won��t be breaking legs so simple!�� Lu Zhanyuan said with a cold laugh.


    His aura grew stronger and stronger, the terrifying pressure made the faces of everyone present change abruptly.


    But right at this time, Lu Zhanyuan��s footsteps stopped, his eyes becoming wide-saucers.


    That terrifying aura dissipated in an instant.


    Thud!


    Lu Zhanyuan fell in front of Lin Lan just like that, twitching non-stop.


    Twitching and twitching ��


    Lu Zhanyuan��s eyes and mouth were askew, his entire person like having an epileptic seizure.


    It was exactly the same as Zhao Kun back then!


    Windward Topple!


    It was true that Lu Zhanyuan was strong, but he had not reached Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum after all!


    As long as one did not reach Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Windward Topple was an absolute kill!


    Outside the courtyard, everyone��s eyeballs popped out.


    Death-like silence!


    The powerful inner sect��s number three, Lu Zhanyuan, was actually spasming?


    Lin Lan looked at Lu Zhanyuan who fell to the ground and shook his head and said with a sigh, ��Master said to break the legs and throw out. So it means breaking the legs and throwing out! Do you think that Master was joking with you?��


    Finished speaking, Lin Lan took action, directly breaking Lu Zhanyuan��s legs.


    Thud!


    He casually lifted, directly throwing Lu Zhanyuan out of Little Cloud Courtyard.


    Everyone shuddered all over as if this sound was knocking on their hearts.

 Chapter 2578 - This Lesser Sublime Heaven Is a Little Impressive!

    ��B-Broken?��


    ��Broken!��


    ��Really broken?��


    ��Really broken!��


    �� ��


    Everyone swarmed over to watch Lu Zhanyuan��s grand display of invincible might.


    Who would have thought that the perpetrator had not been seen yet, and Lu Zhanyuan directly had his legs broken and thrown out?


    Until now, everyone still had not quite come back to their senses.


    Li Zhuo who was by the side was directly dumbfounded.


    He thought that Lu Zhanyuan could take revenge for him. Li Zhuo did not expect that he was so useless.


    Although he had his legs broken, Lu Zhanyuan was still twitching non-stop, looking very comical.


    An inner disciple who was experienced and knowledgeable cried out in surprise, ��Windward Topple! This must be Windward Topple! I didn��t expect that the master of this courtyard actually had such a fierce anesthetic! Furthermore, his method of poisoning is strange and unpredictable! Senior Apprentice Brother Lu really kicked an iron plate at this place!��


    Somebody asked, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Xu, is this Windward Topple very powerful?��


    Senior Apprentice Brother Xu gave a cold laugh and said, ��Powerful? Huhu! Under Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, there��s no cure! Even if it��s a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, once inflicted with Windward Topple, their strength will fall greatly too! How can the level of anesthetic be explained with just powerful? However, this anesthetic is extremely difficult to extract. Even for ordinary grade two heavenly alchemists, it��s very hard to do it too! Didn��t expect that this Little Cloud Courtyard��s master actually has it! This person can��t be provoked!��


    Finished saying, Senior Apprentice Brother Xu gave the courtyard a glance rather warily, turned around, and left.


    The puny little Thousand Bird Peak became everyone��s focal point very quickly!


    This matter caused a great sensation in the inner-sect and outer-sect!


    A fellow who had not even entered the sect yet, his movements and traces being elusive and secretive, actually broke the legs of the inner sect��s top three, Lu Zhanyuan!


    Of course, Lu Zhanyuan became the laughing stock of the inner-sect too.


    Many inner disciples could not help coming to Little Cloud Courtyard, but no one dared to approach.


    Windward Topple was too formidable. They did not wish to go out spasming.


    But the more it was so, the more mysterious Little Cloud Courtyard seemed.


    Little Cloud Courtyard��s master had never gone out before.


    If there was anything, it was also his apprentice doing it on his behalf.


    When Yao Qing heard about this incident, he was incredibly shocked too.


    Lu Zhanyuan��s prowess, he was deeply aware of it.


    With his strength, he could not last past three moves under Lu Zhanyuan��s hands at all.


    But Lu Zhanyuan actually succumbed at Ye Yuan��s hands!


    People were all guessing that Little Cloud Courtyard��s master must be a grade two heavenly alchemist, or even a grade three heavenly alchemist!


    But only he knew that Ye Yuan was merely a Lesser Sublime Heaven, that was all!


    After this matter, no one dared to provoke Little Cloud Courtyard anymore, and no one dared to be disrespectful to Green Bull Town��s ascenders as well.


    Over the course of a year, there were ascenders being taken to Thousand Bird Peak one after another.


    On Thousand Bird Peak, it gradually became lively.


    After the one-year date was up, it was finally time for the heavenly sect��s assessment.


    On this day, there were many more pairs of eyes at the entrance of Little Cloud Courtyard.


    People all wanted to see just what kind of person this Little Cloud Courtyard��s owner was.


    Among them included Lu Zhanyuan!


    Lu Zhanyuan only recovered after lying on the bed for three months.


    In Five Light Heavenly Region, heavenly pills were extremely precious.


    In most cases of broken legs, it all relied on self-recovery.


    Even if Lu Zhanyuan was an inner disciple, he did not dare to consume this kind of healing heavenly pills easily too.


    ��Out! Coming out!��


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.


    Little Cloud Courtyard��s door opened!


    Everyone held their breaths, wanting to see clearly what kind of person was coming out!


    A young man in white robes walked out of Little Cloud Courtyard.


    Behind him even followed Lin Lan.


    ��L-Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum?��


    ��Little Cloud Courtyard��s master is actually just a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum? Furthermore, it��s even just an upper Lesser Sublime Heaven?��


    ��In this one year, the guy who caused a stir in the entire inner sect is actually just a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum?��


    �� ��


    The crowd burst into an uproar all at once.


    No one expected that the master of Little Cloud Courtyard was actually just an unassuming Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Furthermore, looking at Ye Yuan��s appearance, he only broke through to upper Lesser Sublime Heaven not long ago.


    Lu Zhanyuan was even more stunned. Immediately, he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��I actually lost at the hands of a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum? Deep humiliation! Unprecedented humiliation!��


    He had thought of countless possibilities and even wondered if Little Cloud Courtyard��s master was a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum expert or not!


    But they never expected that it was actually a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Swoosh!


    Lu Zhanyuan turned into an afterimage and rushed over toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Damn ant, to dare humiliate me, I��ll kill you today!�� The roar instantly spread all over Thousand Bird Peak.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s gaze looked over.


    Just this look and Lu Zhanyuan��s figure stopped abruptly!


    This look filled him with fear!


    That unbearable memory instantly welled up in his heart.


    His belly full of anger instantly turned into terror!


    Ye Yuan glanced at him curiously and asked Lin Lan, ��Who is he?��


    With one sentence, everyone fell down.


    That sentence, ��break the legs, throw them out��, was still being sung on every peak.


    This fellow actually did not know who he beat!


    Too aggravating!


    Lu Zhanyuan stood there, almost spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    Lin Lan said, ��A year ago, he trespassed into Little Cloud Courtyard and was brought down by Master with Windward Topple. This disciple broke his legs and threw him out.��


    Ye Yuan had a sudden realization and said, ��Oh, it turns out it��s him. No wonder he��s so angry. Hey, if you��re not happy, you��re welcome to come to find me to take revenge at any time.��


    Arrogant!


    Overbearing!


    He completely thought nothing of the inner sect��s number three!


    This Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was a little impressive!


    Everyone looked at Lu Zhanyuan sympathetically, wanting to see what he would do.


    Was it taking the risk of having his legs broken again to teach Ye Yuan a lesson, or withdrawing here?


    Lu Zhanyuan stood there, unable to leave nor stay, wishing to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    He really wanted to make a move!


    But reason told him that he could not make a move!


    If he broke his legs, it would take three months!


    Wouldn��t he end up as the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s laughingstock again?


    But, not making a move, he would similarly end up as a laughingstock!


    Awkward!


    ��Not taking revenge anymore? Then I��m leaving!�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Finished speaking, he really brought Lin Lan and left just like that.


    ��Looking at what? All get lost for me!�� Lu Zhanyuan��s roar came from behind.


    Not walking very far, Ye Yuan ran into Yao Qing head-on.


    ��Huhu, Brother Ye, you��re really incredible! This one year, you were in closed-seclusion in Little Cloud Courtyard, oblivious to the outside world. But, this Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has your legends everywhere! Breaking the legs of the inner sect��s number three, Senior Apprentice Brother Lu. You��ve already done an astonishing thing before you even entered the heavenly sect! Lord Luo��s eyesight is really amazing!�� Yao Qing said with a big laugh as soon as he met him.


    He had just finished speaking when he suddenly discovered that the surrounding atmosphere was not quite right.


    And Ye Yuan was also currently looking at him with a smile without saying a word.


    Yao Qing was taken aback. Suddenly, he saw Lu Zhanyuan in the distance and was immediately frightened out of his wits.


    He secretly thought to himself that things were not good. With this, he had offended Senior Apprentice Brother Lu badly!


    ��Huhu, Yao Qing, you��re very good! You are very good!�� Lu Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and said one sentence, then flew away.


    Yao Qing looked at Ye Yuan with a bitter face and said, ��Brother Ye, you��ve harmed me badly!��


    Ye Yuan had an innocent face as he said, ��I didn��t do anything!��

 Chapter 2579 - Talent Testing!

    On Tianhui Peak, more than 2000 ascenders were gathered here.


    Want to talk about the number of ascenders in ten years, it was naturally much more than this.


    But among ascenders, there were scanty few who were able to hold on until the arrival of guides.


    Therefore, in the massive True Yang Heavenly Domain, only these 2000 over ascenders were gathered.


    On the grandstand halfway up the mountain, several old men were currently whispering to each other.


    ��Brother Qin, Jingxuan that lass was forcefully snatched by you the last time! This time, if there are any good saplings, you can��t fight with me!��


    ��Heh, Old Man Wu, each entrance examination, there are only those few whose affinity meets the standard. Whether or not you can snatch depends on your ability! I can��t yield on this!��


    ��You! Good! You old thing, let��s not rest until we��re dead this time!��


    ��Huhu �� Old Man Wu, comparing pill refining, you��re still a little lacking. Who asked you to not have our unique skill!��


    That Old Man Wu was angered until he billowed his beard and glared but was powerless to do anything.


    The two people talking, one was called Qin Shun, the other was called Wu Chengchao


    The two were both Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s purple-wing protectors, their statuses even a level higher than Luo Yunqing��s.


    No reason other than because the two were grade three heavenly alchemists!


    In Five Light Heavenly Region, grade three heavenly alchemists were extremely scarce talents.


    Only in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, this kind of major sect, could one see grade three heavenly alchemists!


    The statuses of these two could be seen at a glance.


    However, grade three heavenly alchemists were few, but there were even fewer heavenly alchemist talents!


    The innate condition of ascenders was seriously too weak. Those who could reach 30 point affinity this boundary, was even rarer.


    And 30 points was just the threshold to becoming a heavenly alchemist!


    Want to reach grade three heavenly alchemist, without 50 and above affinity, one could forget about it.


    The sect assessment ten years ago, a genius disciple whose affinity reached 59 appeared, called Wen Jingxuan.


    Her appearance naturally caused a fierce competition between these two people.


    For this, the two almost came to blows.


    But in the end, Wen Jingxuan still chose the aboriginal heavenly alchemist, Qin Shun.


    This Qin Shun was an aboriginal heavenly alchemist.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect naturally spent a lot of thought and price in order to poach him.


    At this time, a protector said loudly, ��You all will pass through that array formation ahead one by one, the array formation will automatically discern your talent! There are nine aptitude qualifications, lower-inferior is the lowest, upper-superior is the highest! If there��s anyone among you all whose aptitude is superior, then congratulations, the sect master will personally accept you as a disciple! Of course, this is virtually impossible! Those who are judged as upper-middle and above after passing through the array formation can all enter the next round! Or, if your affinity can reach 30 points, you can also enter under the Alchemist Hall. The rest, descend the mountain! Now, the entrance assessment begins!��


    To ascenders, there were scanty few whose affinity reached 30 points and above.


    But, it was also not absolute.


    In the Lower Realms, some people��s physiques were special, approaching pre-natal physiques. Their affinity would reach 30 or more too.


    And these people��s talent in comprehending Dao tend to similarly be outstanding too.


    Hence, ascender heavenly alchemists were often martial path powerhouses.


    Furthermore, every few years, some heaven-defying figures would also appear among these ascenders, their affinity very abnormal.


    Just like the Wen Jingxuan in the previous period, her affinity even reached a terrifying 59 points!


    Even many native heavenly alchemists were not as high as her too.


    This kind of person could be said to be the darling of heaven.


    And this sort of people often did not cultivate in the Lower Realms for a long time, virtually crushing all the way and ascending to the 33 Heavens.


    Of course, a monstrous genius like Wen Jingxuan was extremely rare!


    It was also precisely because of this that Qin Shun had always treated her as a treasure.


    One had to know, Qin Shun��s own affinity was also merely 56 points!


    ��I��ll go first!��


    A burly man took the lead to step out of the ranks.


    This burly man held two axes in his hands and did not deliberately deploy, but the show in strength was extremely shocking.


    One look and it was clear that he was not to be trifled with.


    He arrived in front of the array formation and said with a chuckle, ��Your Father��s two axes slaughtered until the Void God World��s sun and moon dimmed! Arriving at Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, I��ll also kill gods if gods block, and kill Buddha if Buddha blocks! My aptitude has to be high-level no matter what, right?��


    The group of ascenders nodded their heads one after another. This burly man gave people a strong deterrent at a glance, he was definitely not to be trifled with.


    If his aptitude did not reach high-level, it would not be justified.


    But that protector gave an enigmatic smile.


    The burly man was also not long-winded, directly entering the array formation.


    The grand array lit up, emitting rays of light.


    Testing the aptitude was very fast, in just less than ten breaths of time, the big man was out.


    After coming up, he looked at the light screen in front of the grand array with a look of anticipation too.


    Very soon, a row of words appeared on the light screen.


    Dao physique: post-natal Dao physique.


    Aptitude: upper-inferior.


    Affinity: 17.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    ��This �� This is impossible! How can Your Father��s aptitude possibly be so bad? There must be something wrong with this array formation!�� The burly man said with a look of disbelief.


    That protector said coolly, ��Regardless whether you came from a great trichiliocosm or small chiliocosm, that place is a completely different level of plane from the 33 Heavens! Here, no matter how powerful you were before, it��s all useless! You might still not be able to differentiate the relative superiority or inferiority among yourselves yet. But once you enter the heavenly sect, the gap will soon be widened! Even if you��re not willing to admit it, it won��t do either! Alright, descend the mountain!��


    The burly man gritted his teeth and said, ��Your Father isn��t convinced! There must be something wrong with this array formation!��


    The protector did not get angry. Clearly, he had encountered this kind of situation too often.


    He just smiled slightly and said, ��Yun Qing, you go.��


    At this time, a young man dressed in outer-sect disciple attire floated down and arrived in front of the burly man.


    The protector said coolly, ��He entered the heavenly sect ten years ago, his talent is only upper-middle. His current realm is also only middle Lesser Sublime Heaven! You��re a minor realm higher than him, if you can beat him, there��s no harm in accepting you into the sect too.��


    The burly man��s gaze turned sharp and he said with a chuckle, ��This is what you said!��


    The protector nodded lightly and said, ��I said it!��


    The burly man looked at Yun Qing, like a tiger looking at a baby.


    He chuckled and said, ��This senior apprentice brother, if I hurt you anywhere, don��t blame me!��


    Yun Qing smiled slightly and said, ��Feel free to make a move!��


    Whoosh!


    His voice had yet to fade and the ax already chopped out.


    That momentum felt like he was going to split the earth in half.


    The ascenders were all gloating over others�� misfortune, thinking to themselves that this protector was really funny.


    Which of them had not experienced many battles, how could they be leapfrogged in cultivation realm and be defeated?


    Clank!


    Yun Qing��s sword came out of its sheath and actually clashed head-on with that terrifying ax.


    What was even more frightening was that he actually caught it deftly!


    Everyone had stunned faces!


    So strong!


    The following battle made all of the ascenders�� jaws drop.


    When the burly man��s one move was defeated, he was completely suppressed by Yun Qing.


    Ten moves later, signs of defeat already appeared.


    With 13 moves and the axes were directly sent flying!


    The burly man lost!


    ��How could this be? That Yun Qing is actually so strong!��


    ��I��ve fought with that burly man before, he��s extremely strong! He actually only lasted 13 moves!��


    ��Could it be that this is the difference in talent?��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of the ascenders was in disbelief.

 Chapter 2580 - Whole Audience Bursting Into Laughter!

    ��Now, is there still any problem? If there isn��t, continue!�� The protector said coolly.


    What problem could there still be?


    Already being leapfrogged by someone and defeated, having any more problems was making trouble out of nothing.


    In the crowd, Ye Yuan was slightly surprised too.


    That Yun Qing��s strength was indeed ridiculously strong.


    If in the same realm, Ye Yuan had to expend some effort to win him too.


    Of course, Ye Yuan broke through to upper Lesser Sublime Heaven now. Beating him was as easy as blowing off dust.


    But he also saw through that the good and bad of this aptitude did not seem to have much to do with cultivation realm.


    Without objections, the testings at the back would go much smoother.


    But with close to a hundred people went up in a row, only a scanty few five people passed the assessment.


    This ratio made everyone take a beating.


    The aptitude that the array formation tested, the vast majority was lower-middle, or upper-inferior.


    Even average was very few.


    ��Cheng Qian, pre-natal grade three lightning spirit Dao physique, lower-superior aptitude, affinity 35 points, pass!�� Suddenly, the protector shouted.


    A superior aptitude suddenly appeared, the crowd burst into an uproar all at once.


    Even the protectors on the grandstand could not quite hold themselves back too.


    Pre-natal Dao physiques were different from post-natal Dao physiques. The cultivation speed was extremely fast and the comprehension of rules was also much stronger than post-natal.


    Finally, that Cheng Qian was taken in as a disciple by a purple-wing protector, directly becoming an inner disciple.


    This scene also aroused the envy of many ascenders.


    Later, more and more disciples passed. An upper-middle aptitude grade four pre-natal Dao physique even appeared among them, causing a bout of snatching.


    ��Mu Yun, innate �� grade five Five Elements Dao physique, aptitude �� upper-superior! Affinity �� 60 points!�� The protector looked at the light screen and could not help being in a daze.


    He also did not expect that such a heaven-defying disciple would actually appear!


    This time, no one from the protectors on the grandstand came out to snatch.


    Because they all knew that this Mu Yun no longer belonged to them!


    Mu Yun looked at the light screen, a little smugness could not help surfacing on his face.


    He swept across all the way in the Lower Realms, reaching Heavenly Stratum.


    Now, he still laughed proudly among heroes!


    The protector said, ��Mu Yun! You come to my side! I��ll send someone to report to the sect master about your aptitude!��


    ��Yes!�� Mu Yun answered and stood beside the protector, overlooking the ascenders below.


    At this time, he already soared to the sky with one bound!


    The people below were all ants!


    Those ascenders looked up to Mu Yun and actually somewhat felt ashamed of their unworthiness.


    ��Next!�� The protector said.


    ��Let me try,�� Ye Yuan suddenly stepped out of the ranks and said.


    ��It��s him! Little Cloud Courtyard��s master!��


    ��I��m really curious, the guy who could devastate the inner sect��s top three, wonder how his aptitude is!��


    ��Being able to enter Little Cloud Courtyard, his status is extraordinary to begin with! Heard that he was personally guided by Lord Luo Yunqing! I guess that it��s at least middle-superior aptitude too!��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan came out, it immediately caused a great sensation.


    Even the protectors felt rather baffled too.


    They rarely intervened in the competition between disciples.


    As long as there were no deaths, they normally would not care.


    So he did not know why Ye Yuan��s appearance would cause such a big stir.


    Lu Zhanyuan suddenly came beside the protector and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Mo, if he fails the assessment, I��ll execute him!��


    Lu Zhanyuan was the personal disciple of a Jade Sovereign Heaven elder, so he was in the same generation as Protector Mo, and addressed each other and senior and junior apprentice brothers.


    Protector Mo looked at Lu Zhanyuan with some surprise. Seeing Lu Zhanyuan��s murderous gaze, he understood something.


    He nodded and said, ��Can!��


    These words did not shun away from those ascenders.


    Everyone heard it.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, his gaze revealing a hint of coldness.


    The matter previously was just a dispute caused by personal feelings.


    Ye Yuan made Lin Lan take action and also showed mercy.


    But now, Lu Zhanyuan wanted to kill him so outrageously without any scruples. The nature was different.


    Lu Zhanyuan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Punk, you��d best pray that your aptitude is enough! Otherwise, the humiliation that you gave me needs to be repaid with death!��


    Yao Qing��s expression changed greatly when he heard that and said to Protector Mo with clasped hands, ��Protector Mo, Ye Yuan was personally led over by Lord Luo!��


    Protector Mo��s expression changed, but he shook his head immediately and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Luo probably just did it conveniently. This can��t be taken seriously! A mere Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum isn��t sufficient to make him serious yet. Not entering the sect, Junior Apprentice Brother Lu isn��t subjected to the sect��s rules. He can naturally kill people!��


    ��This ���� Yao Qing was directly choked to death.


    Protector Mo looked at Ye Yuan and said indifferently, ��If you don��t want to die, just pray that your aptitude is sufficient then.��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��He wants to kill me, then if I kill him?��


    Protector Mo��s gaze turned sharp and he could not help laughing as he said, ��This joke isn��t funny at all!��


    ��He��s not joking! I��m �� not his match! However, this guy is too despicable, he used poison to deal with me, it��s impossible to guard against!�� Lu Zhanyuan��s face turned red as he quibbled.


    Protector Mo was taken aback when he heard it, thinking to himself how strong a poison could a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum use?


    Lu Zhanyuan said viciously, ��Therefore, I specially went to invite Senior Apprentice Brother Han to do it on my behalf!��


    The Senior Apprentice Brother Han that Lu Zhanyuan spoke of was a red-wing protector, Lu Zhanyuan��s fellow senior apprentice brother.


    Protector Mo became somewhat curious, just what peculiar aspects did this Ye Yuan have?


    ��No matter what, wait until after he passes through the array formation before talking!�� Protector Mo said.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and stepped into the array formation.


    After ten breaths, Ye Yuan walked out of the array formation.


    Very soon, the light screen displayed his aptitude.


    Then, the whole audience was deathly silent.


    Ye Yuan looked at the words on the light screen and could not help smiling bitterly.


    Sure enough, as he expected!


    Dao physique: none.


    Aptitude: lower-inferior.


    Affinity: four points.


    Dao physique, aptitude, affinity, everything was the worst out of all present.


    Not one of!


    Terrible until it made one��s hair stand on end!


    The others, the worst was also middle-inferior.


    But he was lower-inferior aptitude!


    Actually, Ye Yuan was mentally prepared before.


    His background was seriously too lousy!


    Suddenly, bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd.


    Many people even tear up from laughing.


    ��Pfft! Hahaha �� I��m dying of laughter! I��m really dying of laughter! This guy is actually �� is actually lousy to such an extent! I didn��t expect that Senior Apprentice Brother Luo also has times when he makes an error of judgment!�� Lu Zhanyuan immediately burst out laughing when he saw this sight.


    He laughed himself into fits, even tears came out.


    This aptitude was really the worst in history!


    He was still worried previously. Ye Yuan being able to be regarded highly by Luo Yunqing, he reckoned that his aptitude would be high.


    But now, it was not a problem of whether it met the standards or not, but a question of how ridiculous it was.


    ��It��s really killing me! I didn��t expect that among ascenders, there��s actually someone with such a poor aptitude!��


    ��Hahaha �� to think that I thought that he was an expert who kept to his own counsel, didn��t expect that it��s actually terrible until like this!��


    ��This guy pretended to be mysterious. Actually, he��s afraid of losing face, right? This talent is really incredible!��


    �� ��


    Even those ascenders who were eliminated also jeered at Ye Yuan endlessly.


    This kind of aptitude was not on the same level as them at all!

 Chapter 2581 - Let Me Try Too

    In an instant, the mysterious image that Ye Yuan had built in a year, collapsed with a boom.


    Even Lin Lan had a shocked expression on his face too.


    He thought that Ye Yuan this kind of heaven-defying figure, his aptitude should be the very best!


    He did not expect that it was actually terrible until like this!


    But he was different from the rest.


    He did not think that Ye Yuan was ridiculous, but was unbelievably shocked in his heart instead.


    Someone who such a poor aptitude could actually ascend to the 33 Heavens. Furthermore, after ascending, he could still be so heaven-defying!


    Just what did he rely on?


    Lin Lan was very certain that Ye Yuan definitely would not stop at his present cultivation realm strength.


    His future was very bright!


    Facing this tsunami-like ridiculing, Ye Yuan was very calm.


    He had never cared about other people��s gazes and also never felt that aptitude could mean anything.


    The aptitude that this array formation tested was a test of the body��s conditions.


    This kind of aptitude was external; it was natural.


    Even if Ye Yuan cultivated to grand completion rank nine, it could not change too.


    But the array formation was unable to pry into some intrinsic things.


    Such as comprehension ability, such as willpower!


    In Ye Yuan��s view, this was more important than aptitude.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan discovered that aptitude was not unchangeable.


    Didn��t his affinity grow?


    As long as his alchemy path strength improved, his affinity might be able to grow to 50 or 60 in the future!


    ��Alright, finished laughing too! But it��s also time to settle our scores! Senior Apprentice Brother Han, I��ll have to trouble you to do it!�� After laughing, Lu Zhanyuan��s gaze turned cold as he said.


    Han Qianyun smiled and said, ��Junior Apprentice Brother Lu, making me kill such a person, I��m afraid that after today, I��ll become the laughingstock of the entire heavenly sect too.��


    He, Han Qianyun, was a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, a dignified red-wing protector. He was actually killing the guy with the worst aptitude in history.


    No matter how one looked, it was somewhat degrading himself.


    Skydew Jade PithLu Zhanyuan��s face turned red again and he said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Han, although this boy��s aptitude is extremely poor, his ability in poisoning isn��t weak! I reckon that he should have obtained some poison path inheritance after ascending! Senior Apprentice Brother, kill him and I��ll give you that bottle of Skydew Jade Pith.��


    Han Qianyun��s eyes flashed and he said with a smile, ��This is what you said!��


    Skydew Jade Pith was a pre-natal item, being extremely precious.


    It had a great effect on Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses too.


    It could be said that Lu Zhanyuan put forth a huge blood capital in order to kill Ye Yuan.


    ��I said it!�� Lu Zhanyuan gritted his teeth and said.


    Han Qianyun looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Boy, a trash like you, I was originally disdainful to take action! But, for the sake of the Skydew Jade Pith, I can only take action.��


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but looked at Protector Mo and said coolly, ��You let that burly man test his skills, can you let me test it too?��


    Protector Mo could not help laughing as he said, ��Boy, stop struggling! He can��t do it, less of all, you! Just now, Yun Qing merely used 50% strength.��


    ��What? O-Only used 50%?�� When the ascenders heard this, each and every one of them was shocked until they stared with their mouths agape.


    An outer sect disciple cultivated for ten years, only used 50% strength, and jumped realms to defeat the burly man!


    This disparity was too great!


    ��I wasn��t talking about him, but him!�� But Ye Yuan was indifferent and pointed at Lu Zhanyuan and said smilingly.


    ��What?! He �� He wants to challenge Lu Zhanyuan?��


    ��This guy is mad, right?��


    ��Who does he think he is? A guy whose aptitude is terrible until not even his parents love him, actually wants to challenge the inner sect��s number three?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan spoke, everyone directly exploded!


    The current Ye Yuan was an ant on the ground in their eyes.


    While Lu Zhanyuan was a flood dragon in the sky!


    These two people were not in the same world at all!


    But now, the ant wanted to challenge the flood dragon?


    Was this guy being funny?


    Lu Zhanyuan was also stunned for a long time before he could not help laughing as he said, ��Boy, your aptitude is bad, is your brain spoiled too? Or is it that you want to use Windward Topple to paralyze me?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head very seriously and said, ��I won��t use poison. You just need to suppress your cultivation realm to the same level as mine.��


    Lu Zhanyuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Boy, do you know who you��re challenging? Forget about suppressing to the same as yours, even if I suppress to lower Lesser Sublime Heaven, I can wreck you too! Of course, you��re not allowed to use poison!��


    Who was Lu Zhanyuan?


    He was a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse��s personal disciple, the inner sect��s top three super powerhouse.


    Now, he was actually being challenged by an ant!


    He felt that his dignity was challenged.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��In that case, you agree? Didn��t you want to kill me? I��ll give you this opportunity! Let��s have a life-and-death match! How about it?��


    When Protector Mo and Han Qianyun heard that, they both smiled.


    Even on the ascenders this side, there were roaring peals of laughter too.


    Ye Yuan��s words at this time sounded like a deathbed struggle.


    Lu Zhanyuan also smiled, smiled very brightly.


    ��Okay! As long as you don��t use poison, so what if I agree with you? Just based on your lower-inferior aptitude, can you still stir any waves?�� Lu Zhanyuan jumped right down and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    A ��great battle�� was about to start.


    Ye Yuan��s action was a death-seeking behavior in everyone��s eyes.


    Even if he suppressed his cultivation realm, the inner sect��s top three could absolutely sweep away Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums too!


    Protector Mo looked at Han Qianyun and said with a smile, ��The Skydew Jade Pith that reached your hands flew away!��


    Han Qianyun also smiled and said, ��Junior Apprentice Brother Lu is a rarely seen pre-natal grade five Sun Dao Physique, his strength can virtually insta-kill same ranks! Only Su Lingfei and Zhengqiufei, those two freakish Dao physiques, can barely manage to suppress him a notch. Master shows favoritism toward him! If he wants to kill with his own hands, how can I stop him?��


    Protector Mo smiled and said, ��Then you guess how many moves can that boy last?��


    Han Qianyun laughed in spite of himself and said, ��How many moves? Isn��t it insta-kill? Invincible in the same rank isn��t said for fun! Furthermore, suppressing his realm, Junior Apprentice Brother Lu��s comprehension of rules isn��t what an ant can compare to! This battle is without the slightest suspense.��


    Protector Mo smiled and said, ��True! Really don��t know where this boy��s courage comes from! Didn��t he see Yun Qing and that burly man��s fight at all? He��s already significantly lacking when compared to that burly man, how can he compare to Junior Apprentice Brother Lu?��


    On this side, Ye Yuan said to Yao Qing, ��Brother Yao, borrow your sword to use!��


    Yao Qing threw the sword over and said with a frown, ��Brother Ye, you��re too reckless! Windward Topple is powerful, that��s why he��d be wary of you. Now that you��ve tied your own hands and legs up, what will you use to fight with Senior Apprentice Brother Lu? You �� if something were to happen, how do I explain to Lord Luo!��


    Ye Yuan caught the sword and said with a smile, ��If I die in battle, so many people can prove that I brought about my own destruction, why would Senior Luo blame you? Alright, no need to worry. Who you should be worried about is that fellow! If I kill him, I reckon that the entire sect will be shaken, right?��


    Lu Zhanyuan laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� brat, I discovered that you really have the talent for comedy! You? Kill me?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right, kill you!��


    Lu Zhanyuan laughed loudly and said, ��This is the funniest joke that I��ve heard in my lifetime!��


    Finished speaking, the moment his aura released, it crushed over toward Ye Yuan like a blazing sun!

 Chapter 2582 - Great Dao Returning to One!

    ��So strong! This is the rule of Yang! It can be said to be half of the power of the world! This power completely crushes those of the same rank!��


    ��Although Lu Zhanyuan suppressed his realm to upper Lesser Sublime Heaven, his strength can probably sweep across Lesser Sublime Heavens, right?��


    ��Not on the same level at all! That Yun Qing is simply weak like a child in front of Lu Zhanyuan!��


    �� ��


    The moment Lu Zhanyuan made his move, it immediately evoked a series of exclamations.


    Compared to Yun Qing, Lu Zhanyuan was like a tumultuous violent wave, while Yun Qing was just a little trickle.


    The two could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.


    Lu Zhanyuan��s sun rule was peerlessly domineering.


    Great Trichiliocosm Xun Yang Palm!


    Unleashing a palm, it was as if a world was fired over, being unbelievably terrifying.


    Ye Yuan swung his sword in a circle, being composed and collected, and he uttered coolly, ��Universe!��


    The moment the domain formed, there was no weakness to exploit!


    Boom!


    The two clashed and were actually evenly matched!


    ��Dual Polarity!��


    ��Four Symbols!��


    ��Six Unity!��


    ��Eight Diagrams!��


    Ye Yuan��s sword art was akin to raging river waters, stretching long and unbroken.


    The changes in the sword art also contained the maxim of Great Dao!


    Dao begets one, one births two, two births three, three begets myriad life!


    The beginning had come again, with endless variations!


    No matter how fierce and domineering he, Lu Zhanyuan, was, he could only fight with Ye Yuan until they were evenly matched in strength.


    Those people mocking Ye Yuan were long already dumbfounded.


    The originally one-sided battle actually fought until they were locked in battle!


    Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao was ever-changing, suave and carefree, elusive and unpredictable.


    ��This �� How can he be so strong? That �� That��s the inner sect��s number three, pre-natal grade five Sun Dao Physique!��


    ��A trash can actually comprehends Sword Dao to such a realm? Truly inconceivable!��


    ��No Dao physique, lower-inferior aptitude, this �� this entrance assessment is simply a joke!��


    �� ��


    This was really gaining worldwide fame and success in one battle!


    Ye Yuan��s sword art that was impregnable truly exhibited Sword Dao to the extreme.


    His Sword Dao did not oppress people by force and was also merely at the first level of Sword Dao rule.


    But his application of Sword Dao reached the acme of perfection, a realm that took people��s breath away in astonishment!


    Ingenuity in varying tactics depended on mother wit!


    Therefore, even when facing the powerful Lu Zhanyuan, he still did not show the slightest signs of defeat.


    Protector Mo and Han Qianyun two people were dumbstruck with amazement from watching.


    ��Is �� Is this guy really of lower-inferior aptitude? This sword art is likely not beneath Luo Yunqing already, right?�� Protector Mo said in surprise.


    ��Heh, more than just not beneath him! If Luo Yunqing suppressed his realm, I��m afraid that he isn��t this person��s match! Strange, could it be that this assessment grand array is actually spoiled? This guy is really a genius?�� Han Qianyun similarly said in surprise.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s breathtaking performance, many people had the idea that the grand array was broken.


    Protector Mo said, ��At this time, it��s not good for Junior Apprentice Brother Lu! That boy is too stable!��


    Han Qianyun recovered from the surprise and said smilingly, ��No need to worry. Junior Apprentice Brother Lu he isn��t so easy to deal with! He has already comprehended that move!��


    Protector Mo said in surprise, ��You��re talking about birthing Yin from extreme Yang?��


    Han Qianyun smiled and said, ��What else can there be?��


    Protector Mo said in shock, ��If he comprehended this move, then that brat will be in danger! Junior Apprentice Brother Lu is probably going to employ a killer move!��


    Sure enough, right at this moment, Lu Zhanyuan gave an angry yell, the imposing aura on his body skyrocketing!


    ��Terrific lad, I underestimated you! Your ability to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger is very good! But it ends here! My pre-natal grade five Sun Dao Physique isn��t a joke!��


    Lu Zhanyuan gave a loud cry and said, ��Watch out! Extreme Yang births Yin! Grand Heaven Yang Melancholy Cloud Hand!��


    Extreme Yang was not scary.


    What was scary was extreme Yang birthing Yin!


    This was the same logic as extreme toughness birthing softness.


    It was just that this rule of sun power was God knows how many times higher level than extreme toughness birthing softness!


    Once this move was unleashed, the power increased by more than ten times!


    No matter how perfect Ye Yuan��s swordsmanship was, it was also impossible to block this kind of powerful strength!


    ��A shame, this move is too strong. Ye Yuan probably won��t be able to block it!��


    ��This person is too arrogant, insisting on offending the inner sect��s number three. Otherwise, with his strength, the sect will definitely want him!��


    ��Challenging an upper-superior aptitude with a lower-inferior aptitude, Ye Yuan can be sufficiently proud too!��


    �� ��


    When many people saw Lu Zhanyuan��s move, they could not help sighing.


    Ye Yuan��s combat power made them have a feeling of rising phoenix-like from the ashes.


    It let them see hope too.


    It was just that this life-and-death fight was ultimately still Lu Zhanyuan who won!


    However, Ye Yuan just smiled coolly and said, ��Extreme Yang birthing Yin, only carries a trace of the power of extreme Yin, that��s all! You��re still too far away from Yin Yang harmony! Today, I��ll let you take a look at what��s called Yin and Yang complementing mutually, universe forming naturally!��


    ��Eight Diagrams!��


    ��Six Unity!��


    ��Four Symbols!��


    ��Dual Polarity!��


    ��Uni . .. verse!��


    Originally, Ye Yuan��s sword technique went from simple to complex; incomparably gorgeous.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s sword technique went from complex to simple, returning to one��s original simplicity, returning to ��Universe�� again!


    This process was not a process of regression, but contained the maxim of Great Dao!


    Going from simple to complex, deriving myriad life!


    Going from complex to simple, Great Dao returning to one!


    Yin and Yang complementing mutually, Universe �� formed naturally!


    Sword Dao was also a Great Dao that developed heaven and earth!


    The power in this increased exponentially!


    Even if a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was here, they might not be able to block this strike of Ye Yuan��s too!


    On the grandstands, the group of protectors suddenly stood up, looking at Ye Yuan with astonished faces.


    ��Impressive! This boy��s comprehension ability is absolutely seldom-seen in the world!��


    ��Inoculating Great Dao with Sword Dao, this Sword Dao should be his own comprehension! Universe forming naturally, mowing down all resistance!��


    ��Sigh! Lu Zhanyuan��s comprehension of Dao can��t compare to Ye Yuan��s even if he whips his horse! The disparity! The disparity!��


    �� ��


    People who understood the sword could see through the sharpness of this sword with one glance.


    Going from simple to complex, many people could do it.


    But the power of going from complex to simple was tremendous, the difficulty also increased exponentially!


    Without an extremely deep understanding of Dao, there was no way of using this move at all!


    Only to see Ye Yuan unleash a sword, the fierceness of this sword directly split the force of the Grand Heaven Yang Melancholy Cloud Hand and landed on Lu Zhanyuan��s body.


    ��Pffft!��


    Lu Zhanyuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    He was defeated!


    However, it was not over.


    This was a life-and-death battle!


    Ye Yuan did not stop, the long sword following like a shadow, following right after.


    Lu Zhanyuan��s expression changed wildly, a feeling of danger welling up in his heart.


    It was just that he was already injured at this time and could only forcefully resist it.


    Boom!


    Another sword!


    Lu Zhanyuan was directly sent flying.


    If not for him being a major cultivation realm higher, his divine essence incomparably thick, that sword previously would have already taken his life.


    It was just that Ye Yuan clearly did not have the intention of letting him go, each sword faster than the last.


    Lu Zhanyuan was pushed to his limit and his heart was burning with anxiety.


    Boom!


    He did not hesitate in the slightest, instantly unlocking all of his strength, and he roared angrily, ��Damn thing, I��m going to kill you!��


    The current Lu Zhanyuan had already completely fallen into a rampage.


    He did not expect that he actually lost to a lower-inferior aptitude trash in a fair fight!


    He could not accept this result!

 Chapter 2583 - Perhaps, He Found Me Pleasing to the Eye!

    Dong!


    The previous second, Lu Zhanyuan had a threatening manner.


    The next second, he fell out of the sky and convulsed non-stop.


    Spasmed �� again!


    Everyone did not even find out when he was poisoned.


    When Lu Zhanyuan flew off the handle, everyone thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    But in a blink, he was spasming.


    But in the next second, something even more surprising happened.


    Ye Yuan brandished his long sword and stabbed toward Lu Zhanyuan like lightning!


    He was going to kill!


    Protector Mo and Han Qianyun��s faces changed greatly and they exclaimed in unison, ��You dare!��


    These two people did not hesitate at all, displaying their movement techniques and turning into two sharp arrows rushing over.


    Two mighty Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums, their speed could be imagined.


    But sadly, they were fast, but Ye Yuan was faster than them!


    Ye Yuan unleashed his spatial rule, his movement technique being swift to the extreme.


    Although it could not compare to the two great protectors, he had an edge in that he was closer to Lu Zhanyuan!


    Puchi!


    This sword of Ye Yuan��s directly attacked a vital!


    Lu Zhanyuan died!


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    On the day of the entrance assessment, a guy who had not entered the sect yet, he actually killed the inner sect��s number three!


    This was too arrogant!


    Too domineering!


    Too �� seeking death!


    They said that it was a life-and-death battle, but everyone did not take it seriously at all.


    Originally, it was a one-sided killing.


    How could an ant be the opponent of a giant dragon that pranced in the sky?


    Yet, this ant trampled the giant dragon to death.


    Everyone was caught off-guard!


    Two great Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum protectors were too late to save too!


    ��Spatial rule!�� Protector Mo said in surprise.


    Originally, he thought that with his speed, even if he was slightly far away from Lu Zhanyuan, he could save him too.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan��s speed was unbelievably fast!


    No one could have thought that apart from his Sword Dao being unparalleled, Ye Yuan��s spatial rule was also so formidable!


    In the battle with Lu Zhanyuan, Ye Yuan only used Sword Dao rule from start to end.


    It could be seen how powerful his Sword Dao was presently!


    And spatial rule had an unexpected effect at the last moment.


    Han Qianyun��s gaze was dark as he said in sullen anger, ��You, very good! You haven��t entered the sect yet and already dared to kill the heavenly sect��s inner-sect disciple, what audacity!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��There are thousands of people bearing witness here that Li Zhanyuan set a life-and-death battle with me. What��s wrong with me killing him?��


    Han Qianyun said with a cold smile, ��Insolence! What status did Junior Apprentice Brother Lu have, who the hell do you think you are? A lower-inferior aptitude ant also dares to compare to Junior Apprentice Brother Lu in the same breath!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, I��m an ant. But he died at my, this ant��s, hands!��


    Han Qianyun said in a great rage, ��Rubbish! That��s you being treacherous and cunning, using poison to paralyze Junior Apprentice Brother Lu!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Either way, you just refuse to see reason! Everyone saw that it was him who broke the rules first! I think that if it was me who was killed right now, you guys would probably say ��serve him right�� very calmly, right?��


    Han Qianyun smiled coldly and said, ��That��s how it is! Today, even the Jade Emperor can��t save you too!��


    Done talking, the Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum aura on his body suddenly released. Everyone��s faces changed.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and looked at Protector Mo and said, ��I won. So can I enter the sect now?��


    Protector Mo frowned and said, ��Are you a fool? Killing Junior Apprentice Brother Lu, you actually still want to enter Martial Secure Heavenly Sect? You probably don��t know that he��s Elder Shi Feiyu��s personal disciple! And Elder Shi Feiyu is a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse! What Junior Apprentice Brother Han said is right. Even if the Jade Emperor comes today, he can��t save you too!��


    The ascenders all shook their heads and sighed, thinking to themselves that Ye Yuan was too impulsive.


    Take a step back and it would be endless blue skies, enduring for a short while and it would be smooth waters.


    The difference in their status from inner disparity was too great.


    Even if Ye Yuan killed Lu Zhanyuan, there was only a road that led to death too.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan was in the right.


    But who would talk reason with him?


    ��Is that so? Then I wonder if this thing can save my life?�� Ye Yuan smiled faintly and took out a token.


    It was precisely the green-wing protector token!


    ��Green-wing token! You �� How can you have a green-wing token!�� Protector Mo exclaimed in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This token was naturally given by Senior Luo.��


    After finished speaking, Ye Yuan raised his hand slightly and threw the token to Protector Mo.


    Protector Mo inspected the token and discovered that there was indeed Ye Yuan��s identity information on it.


    There was also Luo Yunqing��s divine sense branding inside!


    It was absolutely true!


    ��This �� This is impossible! How can Senior Apprentice Brother Luo possibly hand the green-wing protector token to a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum! What capability do you have?�� Protector Mo could not believe it.


    Han Qianyun��s gaze turned sharp too, this reversal scene caught him by surprise.


    A lower-inferior aptitude trash became the sect��s green-wing protector with a sway of his body. His status was even a level higher than his?


    ��What?! Green-wing protector!��


    ��Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Luo Yunqing gave the green-wing token to him?��


    ��This guy wouldn��t have picked it up, right? This sort of thing is too fantastical!��


    �� ��


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s protectors and disciples were all shocked until they could not be more shocked.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s purple-wing protectors that were responsible for guiding new ascenders had the right to directly bestow the authority of a green-wing protector.


    This kind of situation had occurred before in the past. It was not uncommon.


    Some ascenders were very tenacious and were able to survive in the four great heavenly regions and even reach Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Only for such a person would a purple-wing protector grant the green-wing token, letting them directly become green-wing protectors!


    But Ye Yuan was just a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    This sort of thing had never happened before in the entire sect��s history.


    Ye Yuan was merely a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum. Furthermore, he was even a lower-inferior aptitude Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    What right did he have?


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��How do I know? Perhaps, Senior Luo found me pleasing to the eye.��


    Believe my ass!


    Found you pleasing to the eye and gave the green-wing token to you?


    One had to know, only by reaching Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum did one have the qualifications to become a protector.


    As for a green-wing protector, not only did one��s strength have to reach upper Limitless Sublime Heaven, they even had to have made great contributions to the sect.


    This fellow who had just ascended had yet to make the smallest contribution. His cultivation realm was even just Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Luo Yunqing actually gave such an important token to him!


    Puzzled!


    Shock!


    Depressed!


    In Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, one needed to endure at least several thousand years to get a green-wing token.


    But Ye Yuan actually got it before even entering the sect!


    Protector Mo looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Why didn��t you take it out earlier if you have the green-wing token! Is it very interesting to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger like this?��


    He wished to kick a foot onto Ye Yuan��s face right now!


    Clearly Ye Yuan had the green-wing token, but he wanted to turn the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect upside down before taking it out!


    This fellow did it on purpose, right?!


    Right now, how should he clean up this mess?


    Protector Mo could not help feeling his head hurt.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You look at their reaction!��


    Protector Mo was taken aback and could not help turning his head to look at the rest.


    Sure enough, the expression on each person��s face was fascinating to the extreme.


    ��I originally planned on entering the sect first. I��ll wait for Senior Luo to come back before talking. But this Lu Zhanyuan provoked me time and again. Just now, he even wanted to kill me in a flagrant manner. Could it be that he shouldn��t be killed?�� Ye Yuan said indifferently.

 Chapter 2584 - Well Killed!

    ��This matter is huge! It��s already not what I can handle! I��ll report it to the sect master to handle this matter personally!�� Protector Mo said in a solemn voice.


    No matter what, Ye Yuan this green-wing protector was real.


    The rank was even above his.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��Anything then.��


    Protector Mo said in a loud voice, ��The entrance assessment is suspended! After I report this matter to Martial Uncle Sect Master, I��ll make a decision again!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a terrifying aura suddenly descended.


    An old man dressed in black clothes arrived from the horizon with a howl, his arrogance billowing to the sky!


    ��Who killed this old man��s disciple!�� The thunderous voice shook until everyone almost could not stand firm.


    ��Elder Shi!��


    ��Master!��


    Protector Mo and Han Qianyu exclaimed at the same time.


    This person was precisely Lu Zhanyuan and Han Qianyun��s master, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Jade Sovereign Heaven elder, Shi Feiyu!


    The moment a Jade Sovereign Heaven appeared, everyone was suppressed until they found it hard to breathe.


    Too strong!


    The black-clothed old man landed on the ground. Looking at Lu Zhanyuan��s dead body, he was beyond furious.


    ��Qianyun, who killed Zhanyuan?�� Shi Feiyu said angrily.


    Han Qianyun pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��It��s him!��


    Shi Feiyu could not help being taken aback and said, ��Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum? Just the likes of him can kill Zhanyuan? Could it be that he��s a peerless genius that��s hard to come across in a million years?��


    Han Qianyun��s expression was ugly as he said awkwardly, ��No, he �� has a lower-inferior aptitude! Furthermore, his affinity is only four points! However, his means of using poison has reached the acme of perfection. Junior Apprentice Brother was suddenly caught off-guard and was paralyzed by him using Windward Topple.��


    Shi Feiyu��s gaze turned grim and he said in a cold voice, ��Then what are you doing? Why haven��t you avenged your Junior Apprentice Brother?��


    Han Qianyun said with a bitter smile, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Luo gave him the green-wing token! His brat is now a green-wing protector!��


    ��What? Nonsense! Luo Yunqing this punk is becoming wilder and wilder these few years! Giving the green-wing token to a Luo Yunqing Heavenly Stratum, and he��s even lower-inferior aptitude, what is he trying to do?��


    Shi Feiyu was extremely enraged. The others were all silent like cicadas in winter.


    The deterrence of a Jade Sovereign Heaven was seriously too strong!


    ��No need to care about him! Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, lower-inferior aptitude, he isn��t worthy to possess the green-wing token at all! Qianyun, do it!��


    Shi Feiyu was unparalleled and domineering. He could not be bothered to say anything at all, directly sentencing Ye Yuan to death!


    Even if it was the green-wing token, he did not think anything of it either.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned chilly, and he said with a sneer, ��Your esteemed self is so awe-inspiring!��


    Shi Feiyu��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Boy, you dare to talk to this old man like this?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Why? You already want to kill me. Could it be that you still want this Ye to be overflowing with gratitude towards you? Did your head spoil from your advanced age too?��


    ��Hiss ����


    The sound of a series of cold air being drawn came from all around, this guy was really crazy!


    That was a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    ��Huhu, a newborn calf really doesn��t fear the tiger! Do you think that with Luo Yunqing backing you up, you can act recklessly without caring for nobody? Let me tell you. He��s nothing in front of this old man! You played tricks and killed Zhanyuan. So you��ll have to pay for it with your life!�� Shi Feiyu said with a cold smile.


    As a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, every action and movement of Shi Feiyu��s brought tremendous pressure on these Lesser Sublime Heavens.


    When he talked about killing people, everyone was practically about to faint.


    ��Oh, is that so? Martial Uncle Shi is really getting more and more overbearing! You can even kill green-wing protectors without authorization now?�� Right at this time, a leisurely voice sounded out.


    Han Qianyun and Protector Mo��s expressions changed and they cried out in surprise, ��Luo Yunqing!��


    It was only to see a person walk out with a sword behind his back. Who could it be if not the Jade Face Swordsman, Luo Yunqing?


    Seeing Luo Yunqing return, Ye Yuan also let out a long sigh in relief.


    The pressure that a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse brought to him was seriously too great!


    Shi Feiyu��s gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Humph! As an elder, could it be that this old man can��t even sentence a �� mn? You �� You broke through?��


    Shi Feiyu spoke halfway when he suddenly discovered that Luo Yunqing��s aura was not quite right!


    It had clearly already surpassed Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and reached Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!


    This shock was by no means insignificant!


    Luo Yunqing smiled lightly and said, ��In this one year, I challenged 12 branches of the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect in a row and fought with 28 Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses one after another, narrowly escaping with my life many times, killing six Jadetrue Heavenly Sect protectors. I finally pierced through this layer of windowpane paper!��


    Limitless Sublime Heaven to Jade Sovereign Heaven was a massive ridge.


    Even if Luo Yunqing was peerlessly talented, he was stuck for many years too.


    The matter of sneak attacking Green Bull Town this time completely enraged Luo Yunqing.


    He killed Jadetrue Sect��s people until they were utterly routed with his power alone!


    But he did not expect that under the fierce fighting, he actually broke the shackles and broke through this huge threshold!


    Shi Feiyu��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He did not like Luo Yunqing��s arrogance and stubbornness to begin with and suppressed him a lot.


    But he did not expect that this punk actually broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven now and is on an equal footing with him now!


    ��Congratulations, Senior Luo!�� Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    Actually, if not because of Luo Yunqing, Ye Yuan might have gone straight down the mountain previously.


    Whatever green-wing protector, Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    He had his own pride.


    It was just that Luo Yunqing laid low in Eastward Country for ten years in order to solicit him.


    If he left here and now, it was letting down Luo Yunqing��s high regard too much.


    Luo Yunqing laughed loudly and said, ��Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Brother Ye! If not for you giving me those few things, I might really have not been able to come back this time! Let alone talk about breaking through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!��


    Luo Yunqing went too overboard this time, virtually inciting the entire Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s strength.


    The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect even mobilized Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, wanting to cut him down.


    It was just a shame that Luo Yunqing��s movements and traces were elusive and secretive, one person fighting as a guerrilla, leaving them nowhere to start.


    But even so, facing so many same rank powerhouses, Luo Yunqing also narrowly escaped death many times.


    Although those few toys that Ye Yuan threw to him did not have much effect on Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums, they indeed had unexpected effects.


    Just like Windward Topple, it only needed to paralyze that tiny bit at the crucial moment.


    Facing an expert like Luo Yunqing, it was absolutely fatal!


    The two people��s conversation was akin to a clap of thunder to the ears of the bystanders.


    Luo Yunqing who already broke through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum actually addressed Ye Yuan as his brother!


    It seemed like this green-wing token was really not anyhow given!


    It was just that what right did a lower-inferior aptitude fellow have to make him being regarded so highly?


    Just based on him being able to defeat Lu Zhanyuan at the same rank?


    Not enough, right?


    ��Brother Ye, don��t call me Senior Luo in the future as well! If you don��t mind, call me Big Brother Luo!�� Luo Yunqing said to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not pretentious either, clasping his hands and saying with a smile, ��Big Brother Luo!��


    Luo Yunqing laughed loudly and said, ��Good brother! Leave your matter to your big brother! This Lu Zhanyuan, I��ve already found him displeasing to the eye for a very long time already, well killed! I indeed didn��t misjudge things. Brother Ye��s temperament really suits my, Luo Yunqing��s tastes! Hahaha �� Martial Uncle Shi, oh wait, Senior Apprentice Brother Shi, I��m shielding Ye Yuan! If you don��t feel happy about it, let��s have a fight now, how about it?��

 Chapter 2585 - If It Can Soothe Ye Yuan’s Heart, It’s Worth It!

    As a swordsman, they were arrogant and unyielding, their will billowing to the sky. They could not bear the sight of injustice in this world most of all.


    Lu Zhanyuan was very arrogant and domineering in the sect by relying on the fact that there was Shi Feiyu backing him.


    Luo Yunqing could not bear the sight of it and made a move to teach him a lesson a few times.


    It was also precisely because of this that Shi Feiyu was very displeased with him.


    Hitting his disciple, that was slapping his face!


    Speaking of which, Shi Feiyu this lineage really descended from the same lineage!


    From Shi Feiyu to Lu Zhanyuan, then to Lu Zhuo, they were all of the same virtue.


    Overbearing!


    Rude and unreasonable!


    It was just that in the past, Luo Yunqing was wary of Shi Feiyu��s strength and could not go too overboard.


    However, Luo Yunqing did not expect that Ye Yuan was even more impressive than him.


    He actually killed Lu Zhanyuan just like that!


    This kind of temperament that had no scruples and did not fear power, suited his tastes a lot.


    It was just that on that side, Shi Feiyu having his face slapped repeatedly, he was long already beside himself with rage.


    His disciple was killed. Now, he even said well killed!


    Did he really take him, this elder, to be trifled with?


    ��Good, good, good! This old man wants to see how the young are to be feared!�� Shi Feiyu said three ��good��s in a row. His rage currently could be seen.


    The moment the imposing aura of a Jade Sovereign Heaven released, the terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Luo Yunqing.


    Middle Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Luo Yunqing��s countenance did not change, the sword intent on his body surging to the sky.


    Although he was a minor realm lower than Shi Feiyu, Luo Yunqing��s fighting intent tore through the firmament!


    Two great Jade Sovereign Heaven experts confronted each other, everyone��s faces changed one after another.


    Five Great Heavenly Regions, those able to reach Jade Sovereign Heaven were feudal kings of a region!


    Regardless of being in which sect, their statuses were extremely high.


    This level of powerhouse would not take action easily.


    But, once they made a move, it would be earth-shattering!


    Without waiting for anyone to instruct, everyone retreated far away one after another, fearful of being involved.


    Swoosh!


    Luo Yunqing��s figure suddenly disappeared. He was actually the first to make a move!


    Rumble ��


    The two exchanged blows, instantly fighting until sand and rocks flew everywhere, the earth quaking and mountains swaying.


    On Tianhui Peak, there was a stretch of wasteland.


    It was just that although Luo Yunqing was a minor realm lower than Shi Feiyu, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest!


    Protector Mo stared dumbfoundedly with his mouth agape and said in shock, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Luo��s sword intent billows to the sky. The moment he entered Jade Sovereign, he��s fighting with Elder Shi until they are evenly matched in strength! He is already someone of a completely different world from us!��


    While Han Qianyun��s gaze flickered, clearly feeling awful.


    When someone around them suddenly leaped over the dragon gate, becoming someone who stood above the masses.


    Only they themselves knew the grief.


    The two people were in the midst of fierce fighting when suddenly, a ray of sword light flew over from beyond the horizon.


    Boom!


    A loud bang came over, directly sending the two people flying.


    Following that, a sagely-looking middle-aged man came over from the sky.


    Seeing this person, everyone��s faces suddenly changed, directly bowing down.


    Even someone as proud as Luo Yunqing also bowed in salute.


    ��Paying respects to Sect Master!��


    Ye Yuan was extremely surprised. He did not expect that it actually alarmed the sect master!


    At this time, his handsome face was like carved jade, his expression restrained. One look and it was clear that he was an extremely strong person.


    The middle-aged man said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! Two great Jade Sovereign Heavens actually came to blows in front of their own mountain pass gates, where��s the sense of propriety? Do you guys still have me, this sect master, in your eyes?��


    Clearly, he was rather upset about his own people��s internal strife.


    Shi Feiyu acted like the villain who sued the victim first before he got prosecuted, hurriedly saying, ��Sect Master, please investigate! Luo Yunqing this punk fetched a scoundrel from god knows where, he killed this old man��s beloved disciple before even entering the sect! This guy actually still said that it was well killed! This old man was indignant; that��s why I fought with him!��


    Suppressing the two mighty experts, the sect master was not as angry as before anymore.


    He gave Luo Yunqing a glance, a hint of approval showing in his gaze as he said, ��Not bad, Yunqing!��


    Luo Yunqing said, ��Thank you, Sect Master, for your praise!��


    The sect master said coolly, ��Since you��ve already entered Jade Sovereign, you��re the heavenly sect��s elder! I��ll hold a conferment ceremony for you another day! It��s just that, shouldn��t there be an explanation for today��s matter?��


    Luo Yunqing said coolly, ��Lu Zhanyuan sought death, there��s no need to explain anything! Moreover, in Yunqing��s view, if Lu Zhanyuan dying can soothe Ye Yuan��s heart, it��s worth it!��


    ��You! Luo Yunqing!�� By the side, Shi Feiyu was about to explode from anger.


    This was saying that his disciple died in vain just like that?


    His face was slapped in vain just like that?


    Moreover, it was even slapped by a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Where would he, this Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, put his face?


    When the others heard this, they were dumbstruck with amazement too.


    They all knew Ye Yuan��s aptitude although the combat strength that Ye Yuan exhibited was surprising.


    His talent was placed there, there was limited room for improvement.


    But Luo Yunqing said that as long as it soothed Ye Yuan��s heart, one Lu Zhanyuan dying did not matter at all!


    The meaning of the words was saying that, if he died, he died in vain!


    ��Sect Master, you listen! What does he mean by that?! Zhanyuan is of the pre-natal grade five Sun Physique. He has extremely high hopes of stepping into Jade Sovereign Heaven in the future! His death is actually just for the sake of currying favor with a lower-inferior aptitude trash?�� Shi Feiyu berated sharply.


    Sect Master also frowned slightly and looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Lower-inferior aptitude?��


    Shi Feiyu gave a wink, Han Qianyu got the meaning and hurriedly said, ��Reporting to Sect Master, Ye Yuan already passed through the array formation just now and doesn��t have any Dao physique. His aptitude is lower-inferior, and his affinity is only four!��


    Sect Master��s brows knitted together.


    Right now, he somewhat felt that Luo Yunqing vented his pent-up feelings on some pretext.


    ��Yunqing, this matter isn��t a trivial matter. It concerns the feelings of the sect��s people! If you��re unable to give an explanation, this sect master will definitely punish you severely!�� Sect Master��s tone also became serious.


    The moment Shi Feiyu heard, he was ecstatic in his heart.


    These two fellows were so arrogant, see how you guys could still be arrogant!


    Luo Yunqing was indifferent and said coolly, ��So what if pre-natal grade five Sun Physique? I, Luo Yunqing, am merely a grade three Dao physique, didn��t I also step into Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum now? On the contrary, the sect recruited quite a number of grade five Dao physique disciples, but how many can step into Jade Sovereign Heaven? Therefore, aptitude doesn��t mean everything!��


    Shi Feiyu sneered and said, ��You��re twisting logic to win the argument!��


    Luo Yunqing completely ignored him and said coolly, ��When I was in True Yang Heavenly Domain, I heard by chance that the little country of Eastward had an ascender who actually refined a heavenly pill with one point affinity. So I went to inquire about it. Later, I laid low in Eastward for ten years, observing Ye Yuan, and saw his growth and rise with my own eyes, cultivating grade one heavenly pills to the extreme! Such a genius has much more potential than that Lu Zhanyuan!��


    ��Hang on, you��re saying that the reason you gave the green-wing token to him is that he knows how to refine pills?�� Shi Feiyu suddenly said.


    Luo Yunqing said coolly, ��Exactly!��


    ��Hahaha ���� Shi Feiyu laughed loudly and said: ��It��s really making people die of laughter! A guy whose affinity is only four points cultivated grade one heavenly pills to the extreme! This extreme is also too worthless, right?��


    ��Hang on!�� Sect Master suddenly spoke up, ��Just now, you said that he only has one point affinity?��


    What kind of character was Sect Master?


    The crucial information in these two people��s words was captured by him very quickly!


    Luo Yunqing smiled lightly and said, ��That��s right! When Ye Yuan just ascended, he only had one point affinity! But he has four points now! Sect Master, the significance of this doesn��t need me to say anymore, right?��

 Chapter 2586 - You Are Not Qualified to be on Equal Footing With Me!

    Chapter 2586: You Are Not Qualified to be on Equal Footing With Me!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��His affinity actually increased?��


    ��Affinity is innate. How can it possibly increase?��


    ��This Luo Yunqing started talking nonsense in order to save his life!��


    �� ��


    The moment these words came out, it naturally caused a shock.


    Sect Master��s eyes also narrowed slightly, revealing surprise.


    At this time, Qin Shun suddenly said, ��Luo Yunqing, your words are insulting us heavenly alchemists! If even a one-point affinity can refine heavenly pills, then wouldn��t we, these people, become jokes?��


    Affinity was the biggest threshold for heavenly alchemists.


    Many ascenders were alchemists in the Lower Realms before but had no choice but to give up after ascending.


    Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��Actions speak louder than words. It��s time to see what someone is worth. If Master Qin feels that Yunqing is joking, why don��t you guys compete in a match!��


    When Qin Shun heard that, he said in a great rage, ��Luo Yunqing! You��re becoming more and more condescending! This old man is a dignified grade three heavenly alchemist. How noble is my status? You��re asking me to compete in alchemy with a four-point affinity trash?��


    Although Luo Yunqing was already a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, Qin Shun did not feel inferior in front of him.


    The status of a grade three heavenly alchemist in the sect was too high!


    He could sit on equal footing with the elders!


    Luo Yunqing laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Since Master Qin refuses to compete, what are you going to do about it?��


    Qin Shun thought about it and said, ��Jingxuan, you come!��


    Behind Qin Shun, a girl in a yellow shirt walked out.


    This girl had Danfeng eyes, her lips like cherries, giving people a feeling of otherworldliness, truly as beautiful as a celestial fairy.


    Many ascenders stared until they could not pull their eyes away!


    Qin Shun looked at Ye Yuan and said smugly, ��My disciple Jingxuan has learned alchemy from me for ten years! If you can win against her, I��ll consider it that you pass this hurdle. How about it?��


    Wen Jingxuan frowned and said, ��Master, how can him having four-point affinity be able to refine pills? Even if I win, it��s also winning unscrupulously.��


    ��In these ten years, you��ve followed me to learn alchemy and rarely showed your face in the sect. Today, just nice to borrow this opportunity and let them take a look at your achievements of ten years in front of Sect Master!��


    Qin Shun did not hide his selfish motives at all, directly saying it straightforwardly.


    Heavenly alchemists wanted face the most. Not only did they have to be impressive, but they also had to make their own disciples seem impressive.


    He made Wen Jingxuan come out to prove that he taught better than Wu Chengchao!


    ��This �� Alright!�� Wen Jingxuan hesitated for a bit but still agreed.


    Wu Chengchao��s expression was very ugly by the side.


    When Shi Feiyu saw the situation, he immediately said, ��Sect Master, if he loses to Jingyuan that lass, this old man will definitely seek justice for Zhanyuan��s death!��


    Luo Yunqing knew Ye Yuan��s strength, so he was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled and said, ��Then if Ye Yuan wins, what about it?��


    Shi Feiyu sneered and said, ��If he wins, this matter will be dropped at this!��


    Luo Yunqing laughed and said, ��Okay, it��s a deal!��


    Sect Master also nodded and said, ��In that case ����


    ��Wait a minute!��


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Shi Feiyu smiled coldly and said, ��Why? Know how to be scared now? It��s too late!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance like looking at a fool, turned to Qin Shun, and said, ��You��re a protector, I��m a protector too! You sent a disciple out to compete with me, isn��t this insulting me?��


    Qin Shun laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��You, a mere Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, also wants to be on equal footing with me? What qualifications do you have?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t want to be on equal footing with you! You are not qualified to be on equal footing with me!��


    Just as everyone thought that Ye Yuan was terrified, he changed his tone and shocked people when his words came out!


    ��This �� This guy is really impressive!��


    ��I just want to know why a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum can be impressive until like this!��


    ��The ignorant is fearless!��


    �� ��


    A series of cold air being sucked in came from all over the entire Tianhui Peak.


    Ye Yuan��s words were too domineering!


    Luo Yunqing was taken aback when he heard that and immediately laughed and said, ��Hahaha �� Brother Ye, I��m really feeling more and more optimistic about you!��


    Qin Shun��s smile suddenly froze, and he shouted, ��What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said coolly, ��Lin Lan!��


    Lin Lan stepped forward when he heard and said respectfully, ��Disciple is here!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This disciple of mine has followed me to learn alchemy for more than three years! If you can beat him, come and challenge me again!��


    As for that Wen Jingxuan who was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, she was directly hung out to dry at one side.


    Ye Yuan was talking about Qin Shun!


    Face slapping!


    Blatant face slapping!


    You used a disciple to challenge me, I��ll use a disciple to challenge you!


    Everyone was dumbstruck with amazement!


    Ye Yuan��s posturing points simply rose up vertically.


    That was a grade three heavenly alchemist!


    A guy whose affinity was only four points actually talked wildly!


    ��Huhu, good! Very good! Sect Master, this boy is insulting me, what should be done about it?�� Qin Shun��s expression was grim until it was about to drip water.


    By the side, when Wu Chengchao saw Qin Chao getting deflated, he secretly rejoiced.


    Before waiting for Sect Master to speak, he said, ��Sect Master, I feel that Ye Yuan��s words are reasonable! No matter what his cultivation realm is, since Luo Yunqing gave him the green-wing token, he��s our sect��s green-wing protector, his status similar to ours! This is our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s rule, it can��t be broken! It isn��t appropriate for Qin Shun to challenge Protector Ye with a disciple!��


    ��Wu Chengchao, you!�� Qin Chao was angered until his beard billowed and he glared.


    Wen Jingxuan��s brows also furrowed slightly, and she looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��You��re using a made-up directive to order people around! A mere four-point affinity, what are you pretending here for? If you have the capabilities, fight with me!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��You��re not qualified enough!��


    Sect Master also felt a headache, he discovered that this Ye Yuan was really too capable of causing trouble.


    A tiny little sect assessment had a hole poked through the sky by him!


    Sect Master said in a solemn voice, ��Protector Ye, whether or not you��re qualified to take on the position of protector is still to be discussed! If you insist on doing so, then this sect master can only strip you of your position of protector!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, ��Alright, then I��ll give Sect Master face! You compete in alchemy with Lin Lan, if you win, you��ll have the qualifications to challenge me. If you lose, let that old fellow come. I��ll compete with him! Sect Master, this is my bottom line! If you don��t agree, you can do as you please! A scholar prefers death to humiliation!��


    These words were said to Wen Jingxuan.


    Sect Master thought about it and said with a nod, ��Okay, do as you say!��


    Since Luo Yunqing gave the token, Ye Yuan was a protector in reality.


    The rules could not be broken!


    He had to give this face.


    Not giving to Ye Yuan, it was giving it to Luo Yunqing!


    Luo Yunqing entered Jade Sovereign Heaven at a young age, he was the best successor candidate for the next sect master.


    If Ye Yuan really had this ability.


    Then his face had to be given!


    He understood Luo Yunqing. There were not many people that could make Luo Yunqing hold in esteem!


    Wen Jingxuan had an indifferent personality in the first place. But at this time, she was triggered badly by Ye Yuan too.


    She came before Ye Yuan and said in a chilly voice, ��Protector Ye, I��ll definitely make you reveal your fox��s tail!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��I already said, you��re not qualified! Not just you, but that master of yours isn��t qualified either!��

 Chapter 2587 - Poaching!

    One was good-natured and lovely, full of youthful spirit. The other was old and decrepit, lifeless and apathetic.


    When Wen Jingxuan stood with Lin Lan, there was a clear distinction between purity and impurity.


    ��Young lady, this old man is a grade two heavenly alchemist. I can��t bully you. You choose the heavenly pill. Choose the one that you��re best at,�� Lin Lan said coolly.


    Wen Jingxuan sneered and said, ��A mere grade two heavenly alchemist, pretending in front of this young lady for what? This young lady��s grade one heavenly pills are much stronger than ordinary grade two heavenly alchemists! In a while, you��ll taste defeat!��


    Lin Lan just remained silent and declined to comment.


    Wen Jingxuan gave a cold snort and said, ��Okay, since you let me choose, then I��ll pick the most basic Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!��


    Lin Lan was taken aback and could not help laughing as he said, ��Young lady, I advise that you��d better choose others. Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, you have no chance of winning!��


    These few years, what he cultivated the most was Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    His current foundation was already very solid.


    Although far worse than Ye Yuan, it was god knows how many times stronger compared to ordinary heavenly alchemists.


    However, the more he was like this, the more Wen Jingxuan felt that he was afraid of being found out.


    ��Huhu, you think that a grade two heavenly alchemist will definitely be stronger than a grade one heavenly alchemist? Master didn��t teach me advanced heavenly pills in these ten years, he only told me to lay down a solid foundation! And Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is precisely what I��m most proficient in! Competing high-level heavenly pills, I��m not as good as you. But, competing in the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, you��re far behind!�� Wen Jingxuan said with a cold smile.


    The words shocked Lin Lan until he stared dumbfoundedly.


    When Wen Jingxuan saw the situation, she even thought that she had intimidated Lin Lan and said smugly, ��Why? Scared?��


    Lin Lan shook his head and said, ��What a coincidence, my master taught me the same way too! Mn, looks like that old man still has some knowledge!��


    When Wen Jingxuan heard that, she said in a great rage, ��You��re an old man yourself, you actually dare say that my master is an old man!��


    Lin Lan said, ��Your master is an old man compared to my master��


    ��You!�� Wen Jingxuan was choked badly.


    On the grandstand, Ye Yuan could not help but smile, thinking to himself that Lin Lan was really much cuter now.


    While Qin Shun��s face became black as the bottom of a pot.


    ��Just you wait! You��ll be crying in a while!��


    Finished speaking, Wen Jingxuan calmed her spirit and focused her mind, and started extracting the heavenly medicines.


    The moment she made a move, Lin Lan could not help being surprised.


    This young lady��s strength really could not be underestimated!


    If not for him having followed Ye Yuan, he would really not be this little girl��s match.


    Wen Jingxuan��s refinement was like floating clouds and flowing water, natural and smooth, looking incomparably skillful. Clearly, she had real skills.


    She was not blowing her own trumpet.


    Even Wu Chengchao also had a look of surprise as he said, ��Really didn��t expect that this little girl only used ten years time and laid her foundation down so solidly! Given time, she��ll be another grade three heavenly alchemist! Maybe, she can break through to grade four!��


    Qin Shun said smugly, ��Jingxuan girl��s foundation is much more solid than ordinary grade two heavenly alchemists! What��s laughable is that this punk thought that by sending a grade two heavenly alchemist out, he��ll be able to smoke his way through? Brat, you think that by having a protector token, you can treat it as a death-exemption gold token?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on Wen Jingxuan but did not pay the slightest attention to Qin Shun.


    Qin Shun thought that Ye Yuan would answer back sarcastically and prepared a whole bunch of words.


    But now, it was so awkward!


    With regards to Wen Jingxuan, Ye Yuan still quite approved of her.


    This girl��s basic skill was indeed quite solid.


    Furthermore, her refinement gladdened the heart and was very pleasing to the eye, without that sense of stagnation.


    Clearly, this girl��s understanding of alchemy was very accurate.


    Her talent was not bad!


    Most of the 33 Heavens considered alchemy talent to be affinity.


    But Ye Yuan never thought so.


    Affinity was indeed very important, but just relying on affinity, it was just too biased.


    Ye Yuan rarely had the thought of taking in disciples. But this time, he was indeed somewhat moved.


    If Qin Shun knew that Ye Yuan was actually planning on poaching, who knew how he would feel.


    A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was actually snatching disciples with him, this grade three heavenly alchemist!


    Very soon, Wen Jingxuan��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was completed!


    Through the Cloud Mount Mother Stone��s testing, it was actually as high as upper seventh grade!


    When the result came out, it immediately caused a burst of exclamation.


    ��That��s amazing! Upper seventh grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the vast majority of grade two heavenly alchemists can��t reach it, right?��


    ��Heh, Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill reaching fifth grade is easy. But if you want to reach upper seventh grade, most likely even many grade three heavenly alchemists can��t do it!��


    ��No need to compete anymore, that old man will lose for sure!��


    �� ��


    Wen Jingxuan had a look of pleasant surprise on her face.


    In her rage, she performed exceptionally today and actually reached upper seventh grade!


    Normally, she only reached middle seventh grade at the highest.


    Furthermore, it was even very unstable.


    She looked at Lin Lan with a proud look and said with a cold smile, ��Old man, how is it? Do you yield?��


    Lin Lan nodded and said, ��To have such skill at a young age, this old man is impressed!��


    Wen Jingxuan said with great joy, ��That means that you admit defeat?��


    But Lin Lan shook his head and said, ��Before following Master, I wasn��t your match. But now, you��re not my match! Your talent is pretty good. But it��s too much of a shame to follow that old man. Do you want to follow my master?��


    Wen Jingxuan was taken aback; this old man actually wanted to poach her?


    Ye Yuan was stunned too and immediately laughed in spite of himself.


    He did not expect that Lin Lan actually verbalize his own thoughts.


    This old man was a little interesting.


    ��Huhu, just you brag! If you have the ability, refine an eighth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill for me to see!�� Wen Jingxuan said in a great rage.


    Lin Lan nodded slightly and did not say anything further either, and he started refining.


    The moment he made his move, everyone��s faces changed.


    Lin Lan��s refinement technique was dreamlike and mystical, it was a little more brilliant compared to Wen Jingxuan.


    The entire refinement was completed in one go!


    With regards to the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, Lin Lan was long already thoroughly familiar with it, there was no difficulty at all.


    Furthermore, he was not as erratic as Wen Jingxuan.


    The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that he refined, more than 90% of them were eighth grade!


    When Lin Lan��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill landed on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone, everyone was dumbfounded.


    Qin Shun even stood up abruptly and cried out in surprise, ��U-Upper eighth grade! How is this possible?��


    What did upper eighth grade mean?


    It meant that Lin Lan��s attainments in the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill were even stronger than him!


    This kind of thing was simply inconceivable!


    A hint of surprise also flashed across in the sect master��s eyes.


    It was also his first time seeing an upper eighth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    Wen Jingxuan looked like she was battered out of her senses, not quite daring to believe everything before her eyes.


    She actually lost!


    Lost to an old geezer!


    It was clear that this old man was an average slag with one glance, he should be a rookie among grade two heavenly alchemists.


    But she lost!


    Furthermore, she sensed that Lin Lan��s affinity was significantly worse than hers.


    But the quality of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was greatly better than hers!


    Upper seventh grade and upper eighth grade seemed to only have the difference of one grade.


    But there was a distance of 108 thousand miles in the middle!


    One had to know, even Qin Shun this grade three heavenly alchemist could not refine an upper eighth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill too!


    Lin Lan looked at Wen Jingxuan and said coolly, ��Lass, your talent is really very good, but following that old man has stifled you! Why not follow my master in the future? Your talent will be brought to play to the greatest extent!��

 Chapter 2588 - Humiliate Me!

    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly got up and said, ��Old man, it��s time for us to go down and compete.��


    Everyone roused themselves. This arrogant and flaunting guy was finally going to make a move!


    Was this trash-like aptitude really impressive, or did he hold a position without qualifications? It was going to be revealed to the world.


    The arrogance from before already whetted everyone��s appetites.


    But in everyone��s view, the likelihood that Ye Yuan was posturing was higher.


    Really arriving at this time, he should be nervous.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to provoke. It seriously exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    Qin Shun��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, you wouldn��t be thinking that you can beat me because that fellow won Jingxuan, right? Huhu, this old man also wants to see how high the quality the heavenly pill refined by a four-point affinity can be!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a deep look and suddenly turned to Sect Master and said, ��Sect Master, this girl��s talent is very good. It��s too wasteful to be put in this old man��s hands. Why not let her come to me, how about it?��


    Sect Master was stunned, Qin Shun was taken aback too.


    They did not expect that he had not even competed in alchemy yet and Ye Yuan actually started to publicly poach people!


    Qin Shun flew into a great rage when he heard that and said, ��Brat, you��re also too impudent! Shouldn��t you think about passing this old man��s hurdle first before talking?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I think that this alchemy battle isn��t necessary anymore. It��s too troublesome.��


    Qin Shun sneered and said, ��Brat, what tricks did you think of again? Want to avoid this alchemy battle? Huhu, let me tell you, you have to compete in this alchemy battle whether you want to or not!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re mistaken, what I mean is, you pick three kinds of grade one heavenly pills, I��ll refine first. After I refine finish, if you feel that you can surpass me, then you refine it. If there��s a heavenly pill that you surpass me in quality, consider it that I lose!��


    ��What?! This guy is also too arrogant, right?��


    ��Master Qin is, at any rate, a grade three heavenly alchemist, this guy doesn��t take him seriously at all!��


    ��Impressive! Really impressive! Your Father has grown so old and has never met such an arrogant fellow before! Got personality! It��s just that I don��t know whether he has this strength to support his arrogance or not!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s words caused a stir again.


    Such arrogant words could simply be described as condescending.


    A guy who was not even sure whether or not he was a grade one heavenly alchemist, actually completely ignored a grade three heavenly alchemist!


    ��Impudent! Arrogant! Ignorant! Who do you think you are?��


    Qin Shun was completely filled with anger.


    His lungs were about to explode from anger!


    A second ago, Ye Yuan openly poached his disciple from him.


    In the next second, he directly treated him as air!


    How proud was he, this grade three heavenly alchemist? When had he been insulted by someone like this before?


    But Ye Yuan had a smile on his face as he said to Qin Shun, ��Actually, I��m saving time for everyone too! Old man, I say, if I ruin my first medicinal pill, wouldn��t you and Elder Shi be able to kill me right and properly? Moreover, there are so many grade one heavenly pills, you can make things difficult for me! You can take out your private pill formulas. All in all, you can use all means to humiliate me. This way, everyone also saves time, isn��t that right?��


    Everyone was completely speechless.


    Ye Yuan really let them witness what was called arrogant without limit.


    What he said was in order to save everyone��s time.


    But, as long as one was not a fool, they would be able to tell that Ye Yuan��s subtext was that no matter what means you employed, Your Father could completely crush you!


    This kind of arrogance without limit was already not arrogance, but extremely conceited.


    ��Huhuhu, your meaning is that even if I take out a pill formula that you��ve never refined before, you can refine it all the same?�� Qin Shun laughed from extreme fury/


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��That��s right! If you stump me with your first pill formula, everyone can save time. How about it, consider it?��


    ��No need to consider, this old man agrees to you! This method is very good!��


    Qin Shun suddenly calmed down, it was just that his words carried an icy-cold killing intent.


    Everyone knew that there was a show to watch!


    While Sect Master shook his head slightly. He felt more and more that this boy Luo Yunqing found was not reliable.


    Young people could be frivolous, but being like Ye Yuan, it was not frivolous at all, but courting death!


    Qin Shun took out a jade slip, threw it to Ye Yuan, and said, ��This is Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill��s pill formula. If you can refine it, consider it my loss!��


    Wu Chengchao said in surprise, ��You actually have the Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill��s pill formula! I heard that these heavenly pills can cure myriad poisons under the heavens. It��s extremely powerful! I heard that this pill formula has already been lost. Furthermore, the refining difficulty is extremely high. I didn��t expect that you would actually have it in your hands!��


    Qin Shun smiled coldly and said, ��This old man has already obtained this pill formula for decades. To this date, I can only refine lower third grade! I really want to see whether or not this master can refine it.��


    Everyone turned pale with fright when they heard it.


    A medicinal pill that a grade three heavenly alchemist could only refine lower third grade, the refining difficulty could be imagined.


    How could a grade one heavenly alchemist possibly refine such a pill formula?


    Ye Yuan received the jade slip and said with a smile, ��No, no, no, we��d best stick to what was said before! Three heavenly pills, as long as you can surpass me in one, consider it my loss!��


    Qin Shun sneered and said, ��Huhu, since you��re courting death yourself, then this old man will grant your wish! Come, men! Prepare the heavenly medicine!��


    Ye Yuan��s figure floated down and he arrived in front of Wen Jingxuan and said, ��Lass, how about it, consider my proposition.��


    Wen Jingxuan smiled coldly and said, ��Talk to me about this again if you can live!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and was not long-winded either, sitting down cross-legged and started studying the pill formula.


    This pill formula was indeed extremely difficult. But ever since Ye Yuan obtained Zhong Jianchou��s three pieces of jade slips, he had already pretty much studied entirely these basic pill formulas during the past few years.


    Ye Yuan achieved mastery through a comprehensive study of these basic pill formulas and already reached the grand completion realm of the first level of heavenly pill rule.


    Refining extremely high difficulty medicinal pills on this foundation was not considered very hard.


    Two hours later, Ye Yuan arrived in front of the medicine cauldron solemnly.


    That appearance looked somewhat comical in the eyes of the others.


    Many people had cold smiles, waiting to see Ye Yuan make a fool of himself.


    However, the moment the extraction started, everyone��s expressions changed!


    That transcendent, brilliant to the pinnacle fire controlling technique, that incomparably pure heavenly medicine, it all displayed Ye Yuan��s unparalleled strength without exception!


    Before this, there had already been two masters who demonstrated their extraction technique.


    But, if Ye Yuan��s extraction technique was a perfect score of 100, then Lin Lan��s extraction technique was only one point!


    As for Wen Jingxuan, she did not even reach one point!


    This was simply the difference in levels!


    The refinement that followed even made everyone feel bedazzled and incredibly shocked.


    Shi Feiyu, Qin Chao, Wu Chengchao, Shi Feiyu, even including Luo Yunqing, they were all shocked until they stared dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    ��This �� How is this possible? His affinity is only four points. So how does he feel the power of rule in the heavenly medicines? If he can��t feel the power of rule in the heavenly medicines, how does he refine heavenly pills?�� Qin Shun opened his mouth wide, his face full of puzzlement and shock.

 Chapter 2589 - Imperial Grade Heavenly Pill!

    ��Pretending to be mysterious! He must be purposely misleading people by being deliberately mystifying!�� Shi Feiyu said in a solemn voice.


    ��That��s right! It must be deliberately mystifying things! With a four-point affinity, if he can refine this Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill, then wouldn��t we, these heavenly alchemists, become jokes!�� Qin Shun said with a cold smile.


    ��It looks like that, but inside must already be a pile of paste!�� Shi Feiyu said.


    These two people chime in one after another, continuously cheering themselves up.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan finished condensing the pill!


    Everyone held their breaths, staring fixedly at the medicine cauldron.


    Whether it was a mule or a horse, it was time to verify it!


    ��Open!��


    The moment the medicine cauldron opened, a golden light dazzled until people could not open their eyes.


    ��Ninth grade golden pill!��


    ��This is impossible! Such an obscure heavenly pill, could it be that he has refined it before in the past?��


    ��Furthermore, he only has four points of affinity! Four points! This �� This is also too fake!��


    ��Freaking hell, this is also too impressive! Settling the matter in one go, how can Master Qin still compete?��


    �� ��


    The audience exploded!


    Everyone fell into fervent shock!


    They had thought of ten thousand possibilities. The only thing that they never thought of was that it was a ninth grade golden pill the moment Ye Yuan made his move!


    Only at this time did they suddenly come to a realization why Ye Yuan dared to ��spout a stream of empty rhetoric��, saying that Qin Shun did not need to take action anymore!


    Freaking hell, how to do it still?


    Qin Shun said it before too, he studied this Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill for decades and only barely refined lower third grade.


    Even if he were to refine until he vomited blood, he could not refine ninth grade too!


    ��Hahaha �� beautiful! The moment Brother Ye takes action, it crushes all sides! With this, everyone has to shut up, right?�� Luo Yunqing stroked his palm and laughed loudly as he said.


    Even he also did not expect that the moment Ye Yuan made his move, it would actually be so breathtaking, directly settling the matter in one go.


    By the side, Sect Master��s eyes were full of shock.


    Such a heaven-defying four-point heavenly alchemist, he really only saw it once in his life.


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Shun and said, ��Old man, why don��t come down and give it a try too? This is my first time refining. There were still some flaws during the refining process. If you can reach grand completion ninth grade, you can still beat me.��


    Qin Shun��s face turned black, wishing to tear Ye Yuan to shreds.


    Try your sister!


    Already ninth grade, was Your Father going down to make a spectacle of myself?


    And at this time, Ye Yuan��s arrogant remarks did not arouse the full audience��s ridicule.


    At this moment, all of Ye Yuan��s arrogance became a matter of course.


    The strong naturally had the capital to be arrogant!


    Did you not see that even Qin Shun shut up?


    Wen Jingxuan looked at Ye Yuan, her cherry lips opened until she could not close her mouth.


    The fox��s tail was revealed!


    But this tail was too big!


    She prided herself on being extremely talented and had never placed anyone in the sect in her sights before.


    However, a four-point affinity Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum trampled her into the dust with one foot.


    Not, it was her and her master together!


    Originally, Ye Yuan was just a jumping clown in her eyes!


    But now, Ye Yuan��s image became incomparably tall.


    As if a lofty mountain, crushing her until she could not breathe.


    ��Why are you not speaking anymore? No rush. You just underestimated the enemy this time. You still have two chances. Buck up! You can do it!�� Ye Yuan looked at Qin Shun and said with a smile.


    Qin Shun��s face turned black, this guy was too arrogant!


    He gritted his teeth, fished out another jade slip, and said, ��This is the pill formula for the Fish Dragon Nine Transformation Heavenly Pill! If you can refine it, this old man will admit defeat immediately!��


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, ��Don��t say that. You need to be careful, or you might just slap your own face! Better stick to what we said. Three times!��


    Everyone was rendered speechless.


    However, Qin Shun taking out the Fish Dragon Nine Transformation Heavenly Pill��s pill formula caused a stir once again.


    This pill formula was even more monstrous and freakish than the Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill. Not only was it extremely obscure, but the refining difficulty was also even greater.


    It could be seen that Qin Shun really put forth the blood capital this time.


    But unfortunately, Ye Yuan��s refinement went rather smoothly.


    Several hours later, the heavenly pill came out of the furnace.


    Ninth grade!


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied!


    If Ye Yuan happened to have refined the Crimson Cloud Heavenly Pill previously before,


    Then what was going on with this Fish Dragon Nine Transformation Heavenly Pill?


    Such an obscure heavenly pill, forget about in the Five Light Heavenly Region, even in the four great heavenly regions, there were extremely few people who grasped it too.


    But Ye Yuan seemed to have refined it countless times before.


    The moment he made a move, it was ninth grade!


    Ye Yuan looked at Qin Shun and said with a smile, ��Already said it. Don��t be so sure. It��s easy to get slapped!��


    Qin Shun��s face became as black as the bottom of a pot.


    He said in a great rage, ��This old man doesn��t believe that you can refine this!��


    Finished talking, he took out another jade slip and threw it right at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s divine sense swept and his eyes could not help lighting up.


    This pill formula was pretty good!


    He did not say another word either, immediately started deducing.


    The others had curious looks too, not knowing what pill formula Qin Shun took out this time.


    But they knew that it must be Qin Shun��s ultimate pill formula this time!


    Several hours later, the furnace was opened.


    Still ninth grade!


    ��That �� That��s the legendary Yu Qi Dust Cleansing Heavenly Imperial Pill! Imperial grade heavenly pill! N-Ninth grade imperial grade heavenly pill!��


    Wu Chengchao suddenly stood up, looking at that medicinal pill with an astonished face; incredibly shocked!


    He had always harbored the mentality of watching Qin Shun make a fool of himself. But this time, he could not sit still anymore.


    Ye Yuan refining an imperial grade heavenly pill to ninth grade directly made him explode!


    Imperial grade heavenly pill was the highest grade among heavenly pills!


    Each grade had a top-notch kind of heavenly pill, that was the imperial grade heavenly pill!


    Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums were unable to withstand the medicinal properties of grade two heavenly pills at all.


    Once consumed, they might very likely be blown up by the grade two heavenly pill��s medicinal properties.


    However, imperial grade heavenly pills would not!


    The medicinal properties of grade one imperial grade heavenly pills did not lose to grade two heavenly pills!


    But its medicinal properties were very gentle, Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums could consume them too.


    But imperial grade heavenly pills had the most terrifying aspect. It was that the refining difficulty was exceedingly high!


    Whatever Jasper Regeneration Pill, whatever Fish Dragon Nine Transformation Heavenly Pill, all were weak to the max in front of an imperial grade heavenly pill!


    Therefore, to the vast majority of heavenly alchemists, imperial grade heavenly pills were just a legend.


    Because even if they obtained the pill formula, they could not refine it at all too!


    But Ye Yuan refined it!


    Not only did he refine it, furthermore �� it was ninth grade golden pill!


    Ninth grade imperial grade heavenly pill!


    ��Sect Master, I wonder if this Brother Ye of mine can take on the position of a green-wing protector?�� Luo Yunqing said with a light smile.


    He was similarly extremely shocked in his heart.


    But at this time, he actually had a feeling of exaltation upon fulfillment.


    Ye Yuan��s breathtakingly explosive performance proved that his eyesight was correct!


    Honestly speaking, he also did not expect that Ye Yuan could actually be fearsome to such an extent.


    That was an imperial grade pill!


    Furthermore, it was a ninth grade heavenly imperial pill!


    Sect Master��s entire body trembled and he nodded his head deeply and said, ��Yes! Of course, he is worthy of it! No, becoming a green-wing protector isn��t enough!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled lightly and said, ��Actually, when I went to guide him back then, I wanted to give him the authority of a purple-wing protector. But unfortunately, my greatest authority was also just giving him the status of a green-wing protector. Brother Ye has a lofty heart and must be treated with sincerity! Otherwise, he could not care even if given the position of elder. For this reason, I laid low in Eastward Country for as long as a decade!��


    Sect Master slowly said, ��Yunqing, you did very well! This matter, you��ve made great contributions to the sect! It��s just that I can��t give him this green-wing protector!��

 Chapter 2590 - Since That’s the Case, Leave!

    Chapter 2590: Since That��s the Case, Leave!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Everybody, listen up! I, Feng Xuanyi, immediately issue a sect master order and order Luo Yunqing and Ye Yuan two people to become Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elders! A grand conferment ceremony will be held on another day!�� Sect Master said in a loud voice.


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    Everyone was shocked.


    ��Elder! A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually became an elder!��


    ��Sect Master has such breadth of spirit, it��s just that, is this position given a little too high?��


    ��This is probably an unprecedented thing for our Five Light Heavenly Region��s five great heavenly sects, right?��


    �� ��


    A grade one heavenly alchemist directly becoming a green-wing protector was already sufficiently shocking to begin with.


    But Ye Yuan actually rose straight to elder, reaching the heavens in one step!


    One had to know, in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, only Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses could serve as elders!


    There were more than two major realms between Lesser Sublime and Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Feng Xuanyi��s action truly shocked everyone.


    ��Yunqing thanks Sect Master!�� Luo Yunqing said.


    ��Thank you, Sect Master! Uh, I also thank Protector Qin for bestowing the pill formulas!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s smile, Qin Shun��s expression became black as the bottom of a pot.


    It turned out that this guy playing this move, it was actually in order to cheat his pill formulas!


    This was really suffering a double loss.


    It was just that who could have thought that this boy could even refine a heavenly imperial pill?


    His gaze turned cold and he said, ��Sect Master, a grade one heavenly alchemist taking on the position of elder, it��s not enough to convince the masses! If Sect Master insists on doing so, this Qin will withdraw from Martial Secure Heavenly Sect henceforth! Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, will only have either him or me!��


    Everyone��s faces changed, not expecting that Qin Shun actually clashed with Sect Master.


    But, one had to admit, this move was vicious!


    No matter how high Ye Yuan��s talent was, he was also merely a grade one heavenly alchemist, that was all.


    He could refine imperial grade heavenly pills, but could not refine grade three heavenly pills!


    But Qin Shun was a living grade three heavenly alchemist!


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression was very ugly too.


    Being locked horns with by Qin Shun in public like this, it put him greatly on the spot.


    His gaze turned dark and he said, ��Protector Qin, you��ve been in my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect for many years and know what an extremely talented heavenly alchemist means to the sect! Moreover, Ye Yuan is different from the rest! This matter has indeed somewhat embarrassed you. But this sect master will compensate you afterward, alright?��


    Those ascenders were all stunned.


    The exalted sect master actually lowered his head to a protector?


    Could it be that in this Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, one could come and go as one pleased?


    Just a protector, even if Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s heavenly alchemists were extremely few, it was also not to such an extent, right?


    Even Ye Yuan was very puzzled too.


    Feng Xuanyi��s concession did not make Qin Shun stop. It was only to see him snort coldly. He said, ��Sect Master, there��s no discussion about this matter! Either the sect sentences him to death, or I, Qin Shun, leave!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s gaze turned intent, revealing unhappiness.


    Qin Shun��s request was already not the position of elder, but to sentence Ye Yuan to death!


    This was too much!


    Disregarding how Ye Yuan��s talent was, if he really agreed, who would still take him, this sect master, seriously?


    Your Qin Shun��s face was bigger than me, the sect master?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s talent gave him a great shock.


    Heavenly imperial pill, affinity growing, the significance of these two was too great!


    If affinity could really be increased, wouldn��t that mean that ascenders could become heavenly alchemists too?


    Therefore, even though Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was still low, his significance to the sect was extremely far-reaching.


    Otherwise, how could he possibly hand such an important seat as an elder to a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum?


    But what was damning was that Qin Shun��s identity and background were extremely not simple.


    How to make his choice was something that gave him a headache.


    If it was an alchemy battle in private, it was still fine. But now, he had to make a choice in front of the whole sect!


    Was it Ye Yuan, or Qin Shun?


    And at this time, Luo Yunqing��s figure suddenly swayed, landing beside Ye Yuan.


    He did not speak, just stood there silently, quietly waiting for Feng Xuanyi��s ruling.


    That meaning was already very clear!


    He was standing together with Ye Yuan!


    The whole audience was deathly silent, everyone��s eyes were staring at Feng Xuanyi, wanting to see how he made his choice.


    While Qin Shun had a smug look as if victory was already within grasp.


    He, a Qin Shun, was naturally nothing much. But the leviathan behind him, who on this Rainclear Continent dared to provoke?


    Therefore, Ye Yuan would definitely die!


    He was already furious to the extreme towards Ye Yuan.


    Even at the risk of offending Feng Xuanyi, he had to doom Ye Yuan to death too!


    Suddenly, Feng Xuanyi��s gaze turned intent, and he said to Qin Shun, ��Since that��s the case, leave!��


    Qin Shun was currently looking at Ye Yuan with a smug expression.


    Hearing this, his smile immediately turned stiff on his face, and he said solemnly, ��Feng Xuanyi, what did you say?��


    Feng Xuanyi said in a solemn voice, ��I said, to have you leave the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! From today onward, you��re no longer my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s purple-wing protector!��


    Everyone turned pale with fright, being shocked by Feng Xuanyi��s words.


    Shi Feiyu said, ��Sect Master, you mustn��t! Offending the Pill Alliance, how will we contend with the four great heavenly sects in the future?��


    Protector Mo also said, ��Sect Master, you mustn��t act on impulse! No matter how formidable this Ye Yuan is, he��s also merely a grade one heavenly alchemist! Whether or not he can grow up is still unknown! If we offend the Pill Alliance because of this, our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will struggle to stride forward!��


    Han Qianshan said, ��As long as we kill Ye Yuan, Protector Qin will definitely be even more devoted to our sect!��


    For some time, all the protectors present came out to urge.


    Everyone supported Qin Shun one-sidedly.


    ��All shut up for me!��


    Feng Xuanyi shouted coldly and said, ��This place is Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, not the Pill Alliance! Although my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect relies on the Pill Alliance, it��s also not what a puny little grade three heavenly alchemist can order around! Qin Shun, you leave!��


    Qin Shun��s expression was already gloomy to the extreme.


    Hearing that, he smiled coldly and said, ��Huhu, Feng Xuanyi, you��re very good! I, Qin Shun, am indeed just a measly little grade three heavenly alchemist, but don��t you forget who my master is! Fine, I��ll go! It��s just that today��s humiliation, I��ll return it to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect with interest! Jingxuan girl, let��s go!��


    Luo Yunqing frowned and said, ��Jingxuan is Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciple, not the Pill Alliance��s disciple, what right do you have to take her away?��


    Qin Shun smiled coldly and said, ��She is my, Qin Shun��s, disciple. Of course, she��s also the Pill Alliance��s disciple! I��m bringing her away today, see who dares to stop me! Jingxuan, come over!��


    Wen Jingxuan had a look of struggle, she completely did not expect that things would actually become such a mess.


    One was the master who taught her cultivation, the other was the sect who provided for her, it was really very hard to make a choice.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly blocked in front of Wen Jingxuan and said coolly, ��She won��t go with you!��


    Qin Shun said in a great rage, ��Who the hell do you think you are! Is it your turn to come and tell me what to do with my apprentice?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��You don��t want to take her away for something just as simple as teaching an apprentice, right?��


    Qin Shun��s expression changed and he said in a great rage, ��Impudent! Jingxuan is a piece of uncut jade. Placing her in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is a waste too! I��m bringing her to the Pill Alliance for the sake of her future! What else can there be?��

 Chapter 2591 - Pill Alliance

    ��Is that so? Then the Worrisome Heart Callousness is also in order to teach her to test poison?�� Ye Yuan looked at Qin Shun and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Qin Shun was immensely shocked and scolded angrily, ��Bullshit! What Worrisome Heart Callousness! What nonsense are you spurting?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��There are really quite a number of wondrous formulas in your hands! It��s just a pity that this Worrisome Heart Callousness, this Ye knows about it too! Not admitting is fine. Bring a stalk of Pity Star Grass here. It will naturally be verified.��


    Qin Shun��s expression changed wildly, and he actually fell silent.


    While the others had baffled looks, not knowing what the two were talking about.


    Wen Jingxuan frowned and said, ��Master, what are you guys talking about?��


    Qin Shun��s expression was complicated, but he did not open his mouth.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Worrisome Heart Callousness is a kind of strange poison. There are very few people who know about it! The poisoner just has to fuse his own blood into the poison, then let the woman drink it, and he��ll be able to turn her into his most loyal furnace! However, this poison isn��t easy to refine, and poisoning is likewise not easy. Of course, the symptoms after getting poisoned aren��t obvious. If it��s someone who doesn��t know it, it��s extremely difficult to discover. Fortunately, you aren��t poisoned deeply and can still be saved. Once this poison encounters the Pity Star Grass, the Pity Grass Star will wither and turn yellow.��


    Hearing that, everyone was incredibly shocked.


    This Qin Shun was actually a beast in human clothing, posing as someone with high morals and plotted against his own disciple?


    Wu Chengchao opened his mouth wide and said with a look of shock, ��Worrisome Heart Callousness! No wonder! No wonder Chen Yuerong and Li Xinran, those girls, became somewhat odd after becoming your disciple! After that, they died in sect missions! It turns out that you actually poisoned them with such an unscrupulous poison! Heh, you got bored of them and made them go and seek their own doom, is that it?��


    Wen Jingxuan had a blank face. She was stunned by what Ye Yuan said.


    The master that she respected actually did such a shameless thing!


    This old thing was simply coveting her looks!


    ��Therefore, are you still planning on going together with him?�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    ��Good! Very good! Brat, I��ve remembered you! In the future, this old man will definitely tear you to shreds! Also, Feng Xuanyi, you should know the consequences of offending the Pill Alliance!��


    Qin Shun turned angry from embarrassment and threw down harsh words, then flicked his sleeves and left.


    His face was utterly lost!


    If he left because of a dispute, he could still garner some people��s sympathy.


    But now, the matter of the Worrisome Heart Callousness was exposed, he really lost all standing and reputation.


    Worrisome Heart Callousness, even Wu Chengchao could not tell. He did not expect that it was actually seen through by Ye Yuan!


    Therefore, he hated Ye Yuan to the bones.


    Swoosh!


    Luo Yunqing��s figure flashed, blocking Qin Shun��s path.


    Qin Shun sneered and said, ��What, Luo Yunqing? Could it be that you��re still planning on killing me? Do you know the consequences of offending the Pill Alliance?��


    Feng Xuanyi said in a solemn voice, ��Let him leave!��


    Luo Yunqing had a look of unwillingness on his face, but in the end, he still moved aside.


    While Qin Shun had a smug look as he strutted away.


    Everyone was extremely shocked. They did not expect that an entrance assessment actually played out until like this in the end.


    After Qin Shun left, Feng Xuanyi said in a solemn voice, ��It ends here today. The entrance test will be conducted on another day. All withdraw! Ye Yuan, Yunqing, Elder Shi, you guys come with me!��


    �� ��


    In the hall, the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.


    The sect producing a scum like Qin Shun, nobody looked good.


    ��Ye Yuan, you were too rash in this matter! Offending the Pill Alliance, our sect��s heavenly pills in the future will get into an even more dire state!�� Shi Feiyu shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare and said.


    ��Enough!��


    Feng Xuanyi shouted coldly and said, ��Shi Feiyu, if not looking on the account of your face as an elder, I��ll definitely punish you severely today!��


    ��You, a dignified elder, don��t think about looking for talents for the sect, and even want to doom Ye Yuan to death! I don��t believe that you can��t tell Ye Yuan��s value to the sect!��


    ��Also, have you ascended for too long and already forgot about hotbloodedness when in the Lower Realms? No matter how formidable the Pill Alliance is, when can they ride on top of our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s head? He, a puny little grade three heavenly alchemist, is even a second-rate existence in the Pill Alliance. His face is bigger than my, Feng Xuanyi��s face?��


    Shi Feiyu completely did not dare to make a sound being countered by Feng Xuanyi.


    Only then did he know that Feng Xuanyi had already tolerated him for very long!


    At this time, Ye Yuan asked curiously, ��Is this Pill Alliance �� very powerful?��


    Luo Yunqing nodded his head and said, ��More than just powerful! It can be said that they are Rainclear Continent��s number one major faction ����


    It turned out that this Pill Alliance was actually the heavenly alchemist alliance.


    Of the various major factions on this Rainclear Continent, more than 60% of the heavenly alchemists originated from the Pill Alliance.


    Not only did they control the massive amounts of heavenly medicines, pill formulas, refining techniques, they even controlled the most abundant heavenly alchemist resources.


    Many sects�� heavenly alchemists originated from the Pill Alliance.


    Such as Wu Chengchao!


    However, those like Wu Chengchao did not belong to the Pill Alliance��s own people.


    Their internal faction had strict ranks, it was not what anyone could enter as they liked.


    And Qin Shun was a proper member of the Pill Alliance!


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s heavenly alchemists�� strength was too weak. It was difficult for one person to support it.


    Being helpless, Feng Xuanyi moved out in person and spent a lot of money to hire Qin Shun.


    Who would have thought that this guy was actually such a despicable and shameless person!


    Furthermore, the Pill Alliance��s heavenly alchemists were very strong!


    The heavenly alchemists that the various major sects sent over to the Pill Alliance, their strength was significantly worse compared to them,


    Qin Chao was not considered very strong in the Pill Alliance, but his strength was much stronger than Wu Chengchao.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help suddenly seeing the light.


    Even Feng Xuanyi did not want to completely offend the Pill Alliance too.


    This Pill Alliance controlled all of the Rainclear Continent��s alchemy path resources.


    The other sects could only depend on them to survive.


    The other heavenly alchemists�� outcomes were much worse compared to those from the Pill Alliance. So how to compete?


    Therefore, no matter how you sects fight among yourselves, I stand firm as a rock!


    It was also precisely because of this that he could take out so many valuable and obscure pill formulas.


    It was just that Qin Shun never expected that the pill formulas were all swiped away by Ye Yuan!


    Luo Yunqing finished explaining, and thenFeng Xuanyi followed up, saying,��Ye Yuan, this sect master carried out a huge bet for you! I hope that you won��t let this sect master down!��


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��Since Sect Master bet on Ye Yuan, then Ye Yuan naturally can��t let you down. Competing in refining pills, I, Ye Yuan, examine my own conscience and feel that I won��t lose to anyone.��


    Only then did Feng Xuanyi turn his anger into joy and say, ��Does Elder Ye have a way to increase my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s alchemy path strength within a short time?��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Could Sect Master be joking? Alchemy this sort of thing, how can there be a crash course? Not the slightest hint of lies can be allowed on this!��


    ��This �� Isn��t it because there��s no choice either! You��re able to increase affinity! As long as affinity increases, our strength will naturally rise!�� Feng Xuanyi said.


    What he valued Ye Yuan most of all was also precisely this aspect.


    To ascenders, affinity was a weakness!


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It��s useless. The effect of Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill on Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums is negligible! Let alone talk about Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum protectors! Sect Master, if you want to make Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s alchemy path become strong, leave everything in this area to me. Don��t ask too much about other things! Otherwise, forgive this Ye for being powerless to do anything too!��

 Chapter 2592 - Astonishing Ultimate Move!

    ��Alright, the Worrisome Heart Callousness in your body has already been completely cured,�� Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said.


    The poison of Worrisome Heart Callousness was rather formidable. Ye Yuan needed to expend considerable effort to cure the poison too.


    Wen Jingxuan looked at Ye Yuan with a grateful look.


    If not for Ye Yuan, she really did not dare to imagine the consequences.


    She got up and bowed towards Ye Yuan with folded hands at the lower right side and said gratefully, ��Jingxuan thanks Elder Ye!��


    ��Mn? What did you call me?��


    ��M-Master!�� Hesitating for a moment, Wen Jingxuan finally called.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��I, Ye Yuan, have only taken the initiative to accept a disciple just this once walking all this way! However, I don��t like to force things! There��s only this one chance. So you have to think about it well!��


    He knew that Wen Jingxuan could not get over this in her heart.


    However, where did he, Ye Yuan, this person come from? How could he thicken his skin and beg people to acknowledge him as her master?


    If Wen Jingxuan was willing, that was fine. If she was not willing, it was okay too.


    He only gave this one chance.


    Miss it, means she missed it!


    Sure enough, Wen Jingxuan��s expression changed and she hurriedly said, ��T-This disciple knows that I��m wrong!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This isn��t your fault, but I, Ye Yuan, have always been extremely strict in accepting disciples. If not looking on the account that your talent is really pretty good, I wouldn��t have cared about your affairs!��


    Wen Jingxuan��s expression was sad as she said, ��Many thanks, Master!��


    Ye Yuan gave her a glance and did not say much.


    Some roads needed one to walk themselves.


    And right at this time, there was a commotion coming from outside.


    ��Elder Ye, you come out for me! I, Wu Chengchao, am not convinced and want to seek justice! This old man is a dignified grade three heavenly alchemist, and yet you��re making Your Father refine Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills day in and day out! What the hell is this?��


    ��Even if Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is cultivated to the acme of perfection, what the hell use is it?��


    ��We��re not convinced! What right does a grade one heavenly alchemist have to be an elder?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan went out to take a look, he saw Wu Chengchao taking the lead in causing trouble.


    A group of grade two heavenly alchemists also followed behind to make a fuss.


    These were all the backbone people of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s alchemy path.


    Although it was a little weak.


    Ever since Qin Shun left, Ye Yuan took over the Alchemist Hall.


    And the first thing that he did when he took office was to have everyone re-learn the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill from the top again.


    Lin Lan was everyone��s head coach.


    It was just that this order was only carried out for two days, and Wu Chengchao and the rest took the lead to make trouble.


    Although Ye Yuan��s performance before was very astonishing, to make them, these grade two and grade three heavenly alchemists go and practice the most basic Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, this was simply the biggest joke in the world.


    How could they be willing?


    Among them, Wu Chengchao especially made the biggest clamor.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over everyone��s faces and he said with a frown, ��Where��s Lin Lan?��


    The voices abruptly stopped!


    ��Master!�� And at this time, a voice sounded out behind everyone.


    Ye Yuan looked over, who could it be if not Lin Lan?


    It was just that he was covered in wounds all over his body. Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who did it?��


    Everyone exchanged glances, no one said anything.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he sneered and said, ��Looks like you all see that my cultivation realm is low and aren��t convinced of me taking on the position of elder!��


    Wu Chengchao said, ��It��s not that we��re not convinced! It��s just that this guy used a made-up directive and forced us to re-cultivate the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill every day. What the hell is with that? It can��t be that refining the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can make one break through to grade four heavenly alchemist?��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes at Wu Chengchao and he said with a sneer, ��So, you made a move to injure this elder��s disciple?��


    Ye Yuan looked straight at Wu Chengchao, Wu Chengchao also met eyes with Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, Wu Chengchao avoided Ye Yuan��s gaze.


    He could not withstand Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum!


    Wu Chengchao was shocked in his heart, he actually lost to a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    ��I-I didn��t do it alone!�� Wu Chengchao said awkwardly.


    ��Jingxuan!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Wen Jingxuan was taken aback and hurriedly said, ��This disciple is here!��


    Everyone was uncertain what it meant, turning their gazes toward Wen Jingxuan.


    Ye Yuan turned to her and said with a smile, ��Your talent is pretty good, your affinity reaching an astonishing 59 points! Then do you want to improve further?��


    Wen Jingxuan was taken aback again and immediately said with wild elation, ��Master, c-can I?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I say can, of course you can!��


    Hearing this, everyone trembled all over!


    Affinity!


    Elder Ye was finally releasing his big move!


    They all knew that Elder Ye was able to become this elder by relying completely on this ultimate move!


    A means that could increase affinity was seriously too attractive.


    The significance of this move was extraordinary!


    Even Wu Chengchao could not resist swallowing his saliva.


    No one would mind affinity being too high!


    Maybe if their affinity increased by one point, their strength would increase by ten!


    ��Many thanks, Master!�� Wen Jingxuan said agitatedly.


    The haze on her face was swept clean and what replaced it was a face full of excitement.


    The allure of increasing affinity was too great!


    She could not resist it!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You��re my disciple. So your treatment is naturally different from the rest!��


    As he said, he held his palm out and took out a medicinal pill.


    When Wen Jingxuan saw the medicinal pill, the expression on her face could not help becoming stupefied as she blurted out, ��F-Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?��


    ��Can Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill increase affinity?��


    ��Elder Ye, you��re joking, right?��


    ��Sect Master let you be this elder because he pinned high hopes on you. Yet, you��re showing us this?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan actually taking out the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill immediately aroused mass ridicule.


    They had never heard that the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill could increase affinity!


    Wasn��t this a joke?


    ��Fetch the pre-natal cloud stone,�� Ye Yuan instructed.


    Wen Jingxuan suppressed the curiosity in her heart and fetched the pre-natal cloud stone.


    ��Test your affinity!�� Ye Yuan instructed again.


    Wen Jingxuan followed suit and placed her palm on the pre-natal cloud stone.


    Very soon, the scale marks on the pre-natal cloud stone reached 59 points!


    Although everyone already knew this result, having witnessed it again, they were still incredibly envious.


    This number was something that they would have to look up to all their lives!


    However, with regards to Ye Yuan��s way of doing things, they all turned their noses up in disdain.


    If the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill could increase affinity, would it still be your, Ye Yuan��s, turn, to come and discover it?��


    ��Eat it and refine it on the spot.�� Ye Yuan repeatedly instructed.


    Wen Jingxuan did not hesitate, directly swallowing this ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Very soon, Wen Jingxuan seemed to have been reborn, her entire person becoming much graceful.


    A stench came over, her body and marrow had actually been cleansed!


    Seeing this scene, everyone could not help being extremely surprised.


    The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill still had this effect?


    Finished refining, Wen Jingxuan only felt that her entire body was indescribably comfortable, and she said excitedly, ��Master, this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill actually has such a miraculous effect?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��Go and test again!��


    Wen Jingxuan followed suit and placed her palm on the pre-natal cloud stone again!


    Although they felt that it was impossible for a miracle to happen, everyone still held their breaths, staring at the pre-natal cloud stone without blinking.


    Very soon, the scales reached 59.


    But this time, it did not stop at 59!

 Chapter 2593 - I’m Biased, So What?

    ��6-61!��


    ��R-Really increased! Affinity really increased!��


    ��My God, I��m not dreaming, right? The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can actually really increase affinity!��


    �� ��


    The scale mark finally stopped on 61 points!


    Although it was only two points, it was enough to shock everyone!


    They all thought that Ye Yuan was joking. They did not expect that it was actually true.


    The most rubbish Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can actually increase affinity!


    Ye Yuan looked at Wu Chengchao and said coolly, ��Wu Chengchao, now you tell me, whether the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is useful or not?��


    Wu Chengchao��s expression turned stiff and he said in embarrassment, ��U-Useful! B-But why is this?!��


    Ye Yuan did not answer, but said coolly, ��Now, what should you do?��


    Wu Chengchao��s expression was somewhat ugly.


    However, this miraculous thing still evoked his limitless desire.


    Moreover, he knew that he could not escape this hurdle!


    Wu Chengchao cupped his fists towards Lin Lan and said, ��Younger Brother Lin, I was reckless before, this old man apologizes to you!��


    While Lin Lan gave a cold snort and paid no heed to him.


    Wu Chengchao froze there, very embarrassed.


    If it were before, being apologized to by a grade three heavenly alchemist, Lin Lan would definitely be in fear and trepidation.


    But now, he was Ye Yuan��s disciple. So, he was proud!


    You struck Elder Ye��s disciple and want to brush it over with a mere apology?


    Dream on!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept and he said, ��Who else did it?��


    ��Martial Uncle Lin, I��m sorry!��


    ��I-I��m sorry!��


    �� ��


    Those who did it just now all came over to apologize very conscientiously.


    When it was over, Ye Yuan said to Lin Lan, ��Go and invite Elder Luo over! Those who beat you, hand them over to the Punishment Hall to wait for sentencing!��


    Lin Lan chuckled and received the order and left.


    The pain on his body immediately lessened significantly.


    The expressions of Wu Chengchao and the rest all became extremely grim.


    Luo Yunqing was in charge of the Punishment Hall now. His relationship with Ye Yuan was good until they could wear a single pair of trousers. So how could they have a good outcome?


    They already apologized and actually still had to be handed over to the Punishment Hall!


    Elder Ye was really ruthless!


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly took out another Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Everyone��s eyes turned sharp, looking over.


    Their bodies were very honest!


    ��You all look carefully. What��s the difference between this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and ordinary ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Just now, everyone only saw the ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and did not look closely.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, everyone could not help sizing it up carefully.


    Upon looking, everyone really found it unusual.


    ��Although this Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is ninth grade, the light doesn��t seem to be dazzling, but much more restrained instead! C-Could it be that this is ����


    After Wu Chengchao sized it up carefully, he suddenly thought of something and could not help looking at Ye Yuan with a shocked expression on his face.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��At least you, this grade three heavenly alchemist, have some knowledge. That��s right, it��s a grand completion ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! Therefore, you tell me whether cultivating the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is useful or not?��


    ��G-Grand completion ninth grade!��


    ��The legendary grand completion ninth grade! There �� There��s actually really someone who can reach this level!��


    ��No wonder! No wonder Elder Ye can cultivate the heavenly imperial pill! So that��s how it is!��


    �� ��


    All of the heavenly alchemists were shocked until they could not close their mouths.


    Only then did they know what Ye Yuan relied on to refine the heavenly imperial pill!


    While Wu Chengchao had an embarrassed look as he said with a bitter smile, ��Elder Ye, but this grand completion ninth grade isn��t what anybody can achieve! Is spending so much time on a basic heavenly pill really worth it?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a look of disgust, ��That��s why you��re not as good as Qin Shun! For so many years, the feeling of being suppressed by Qin Shun that old fellow must feel great, right?��


    The moment Wu Chengchao heard, he said in a great rage, ��Elder Ye, you��re actually comparing me to that scumbag!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��Irrespective of character, only in terms of refining pills, he��s indeed much stronger than you! Do you know what��s the difference between you guys?��


    Wu Chengchao reined in his expression and said seriously, ��I naturally know. My foundation is not as good as his! But he comes from the Pill Alliance! Although I went to the Pill Alliance, I couldn��t come into contact with their core cultivation methods at all!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��So, I sent Lin Lan to go and help you all consolidate your foundations, and yet you all beat him until like this?��


    Wu Chengchao��s old face turned red and he blushed with shame as he said, ��W-Wasn��t it because this old man was unaware? Elder Ye, this old man is completely convinced by you! This Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, you can actually cultivate it to the legendary grand completion ninth grade! Then �� can you ����


    ��Can��t!�� Ye Yuan said with decisiveness that could chop iron.


    Everyone��s expressions changed, secretly regretting immensely.


    This time, they offended Elder Ye badly!


    However, the heavenly alchemists present were really wholeheartedly convinced by Ye Yuan!


    Although ninth grade golden pill and grand completion ninth grade golden pill were both ninth grade, they were two completely different concepts.


    Ninth grade golden pill, someone had reached it before.


    Grand completion ninth grade only existed in the legends!


    But Elder Ye relied on his four-point affinity aptitude, and he actually reached the grand completion realm of ninth grade!


    This already could not be described using monstrous!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Starting from now, all of you be more obedient! Whoever cultivates the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to ninth grade first, will be awarded one pill! If you can��t do it, forget about it!��


    ��What?! Ninth grade? Elder Ye, are you trying to take our old lives?�� When the group of heavenly alchemists heard that, they immediately cried of excruciating suffering.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Of course, you all can also don��t practice. You can naturally forget about that Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill too.��


    As he said, he threw the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill in his hand to Wen Jingxuan and said, ��Eat it, continue refining!��


    When everyone saw this scene, their eyeballs were almost popping out.


    Wu Chengchao said in a great rage, ��Elder Ye! You �� You��re biased!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��I��m biased, so what? My disciple, I��ll give her however many I want to! Furthermore, you rest assured. Jingxuan and Lin Lan��s training is absolutely a hundred times crueler than yours! I, Ye Yuan, don��t have any shortcuts when refining pills. It��s just practice! If a hundred times won��t do, a thousand times! If a thousand times won��t work, ten thousand times! Ten thousand times don��t work, 100 thousand times! A million times! All the way until you master it!��


    Seeing the serious expression on Ye Yuan��s face, everyone��s expressions could not help turning somber, revealing a look of admiration.


    Only then did they know that Ye Yuan��s success was not accidental!


    Suddenly, a dozen over figures fell from the sky, Luo Yunqing had arrived!


    Wu Chengchao��s expression changed, and he begged, ��Elder Ye, I, Old Wu, know that I was wrong! Spare me this time around, alright?��


    But Luo Yunqing blocked in front of him and said coolly, ��Although Elder Ye��s cultivation realm is low, his significance to the sect is tremendous! Sect Master has already ordered it. Those who disrespect Elder Ye will be punished severely! According to sect rules, those who offend elders, 100 strikes of the rod and paraded in public for three days! Come, men! Bring away!��


    Finished saying, the members of the Punishment Hall gave no chance to explain too, directly taking everyone away by force.


    ��Elder Ye, I really know that I was wrong!��


    ��Elder Ye, spare us this time around?��


    �� ��


    Wails of doom filled the sect immediately.

 Chapter 2594 - Land of Exile

    After all the disturbances, they all became obedient.


    For a grand completion ninth grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s heavenly alchemists started cultivating like crazy.


    Of course, it was also not aimless cultivation.


    Ye Yuan had naturally fumbled out a set of his own methods, having cultivated to the realm of grand completion.


    He had long already imparted this set of methods to Lin Lan.


    Therefore, the one really teaching them was all Lin Lan.


    Without the slightest surprise, the one who broke through to the realm of ninth grade first was precisely Wen Jingxuan.


    In fact, she was even faster than the grade three heavenly alchemist, Wu Chengchao!


    She only used half a year��s time and broke through from seventh grade to ninth grade!


    Of course, Wen Jingxuan already had no need of the grand completion Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, because her affinity was already saturated.


    In the end, it only stopped at less than 62 points too.


    Wen Jingxuan��s talent could be seen at a glance.


    The second to break through was precisely Wu Chengchao.


    As a grade three heavenly alchemist, his foundation was naturally incomparably solid.


    Originally, he already had upper eighth grade strength, breaking through to ninth grade reasonable too.


    However, after breaking through to ninth grade, he discovered to his pleasant surprise that when he refined other heavenly pills, there seemed to be some improvement!


    Even when refining grade three heavenly pills, he was that tiny bit stronger than before too.


    Although it was just that tiny trace, he felt it distinctly!


    As for grade two and grade one, this kind of increment was even more obvious.


    This discovery made Wu Chengchao wildly ecstatic!


    Only at this point did he understand Ye Yuan��s painstaking efforts.


    ��Elder Ye is really too impressive! You bunch of bastards all keep your chin up for me in the future! Whoever dares to slack off, see if this old man doesn��t break your damn legs!�� Wu Chengchao said ferociously in front of everyone.


    At this time, he already went from being a skeptic into Ye Yuan��s staunch advocate.


    However, only after reaching ninth grade did they realize that this was just a new beginning!


    Each tiny bit of improvement of the heavenly pill��s quality was extremely difficult.


    Even having a talent as strong as Wen Jingxuan��s, her improvement was very slow too.


    It was also precisely after reaching this step did they realize how terrifying Ye Yuan��s strength was.


    Ninth grade, almost all could reach it through hard work.


    But wanting to improve further, the requirement of talent was close to freakish.


    Only at this time did the disparity in talent truly manifested itself.


    Wu Chengchao cultivated to middle ninth grade and was unable to advance an inch forward anymore.


    Even Wen Jingxuan also stopped advancing after reaching peak upper ninth grade.


    She was unable to break through to the realm of grand completion from start to end.


    This final step was akin to a heavenly chasm, she could never cross it!


    Ye Yuan did not let them continue. He instructed them to switch to cultivating other basic heavenly pills.


    With the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill as the foundation, the cultivation speed of other basic heavenly pills was undoubtedly much faster.


    It was also precisely under this kind of training that the collective strength of the Alchemist Hall was increasing rapidly.


    Coupled with the increase of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill on affinity, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s alchemy path strength had a qualitative leap on the whole!


    This sort of thing was naturally not empty talk, but it could absolutely be manifested in the heavenly pills.


    The heavenly pills rewarded by the sect improved significantly in terms of quality!


    Regardless of whether inner-sect disciples or outer-sect disciples, they sang praises of the medicinal efficacy of the heavenly pills.


    A slight tug in one area would affect the situation on the whole!


    This way, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s overall strength naturally increased a lot.


    With regards to this change in the sect, Feng Xuanyi took it into his sights and was delighted in his heart.


    A short few years�� time, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s appearance took on a completely new look!


    Of course, Feng Xuanyi understood that this was just the beginning!


    Along with the passing of time, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s strength would become stronger and stronger!


    It might be able to return to the peak someday!


    Feng Xuanyi knew that he had gambled correctly!


    ��Elder Ye, you��ve made great contributions to the sect! Whatever reward you want, as long as my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has it, this sect master definitely won��t be stingy!�� Feng Xuanyi said with a smile.


    ��I want the method to condense the divine soul!�� When Ye Yuan heard that, he said without hesitation.


    To him, nothing was more important than reviving Mu Lingxue.


    But Feng Xuanyi smiled bitterly and said, ��You��ve stumped me! The method to condense the divine soul is an extremely profound origin divinity mystic art. Hence, our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect doesn��t have one!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help revealing a look of disappointment.


    ��Then may I ask Sect Master, who is proficient in this origin divinity mystic art on this Rainclear Continent?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Five Great Heavenly Regions said, ��To talk about who is the most proficient in origin divinity mystic arts in this Five Great Heavenly Regions, it��s naturally the Daycreek Heavenly Region��s Soul Driving Heavenly Sect. This sect��s cultivation method is the most mysterious and unpredictable. Even our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is extremely apprehensive towards them too!��


    Ye Yuan silently remembered the name Soul Driving Heavenly Sect, thinking to himself that when he became stronger, he had to take a trip to that sect.


    It was just that at present, it was still increasing his strength that was more urgent.


    ��Alright, since that��s the case, I want to go to the Land of Exile!�� Ye Yuan said.


    The expressions of Feng Xuanyi and the rest changed.


    ��No way! You can��t go to the Land of Exile!�� Feng Xuanyi said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan had long expected Feng Xuanyi��s reaction and said with a smile, ��Just now, didn��t Sect Master say that whatever the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has, you definitely won��t be stingy?��


    Feng Xuanyi��s face turned black, feeling like he had fallen into a pit.


    The Land of Exile was the place where the five great heavenly sects suppressed prisoners.


    This Land of Exile was personally built by the Five Light Heavenly Region��s sovereign back then, Zhuo Bufan!


    Imprisoned inside were all some extremely violent and wicked people.


    Not only were these prisoners powerful, but they were also extremely hostile towards the five great heavenly sects�� disciples.


    The reason why the five great heavenly sects made this Land of Exile, the purpose was to provide a place for experience for the disciples.


    It was just that the disciples who entered inside rarely made it out alive.


    Furthermore, even if they came out alive, some people had drastic changes in temperament too, becoming bloodthirsty and murderous.


    Therefore, the number of disciples who went inside to train became fewer and fewer.


    However, there were still some bold and strong ones who would enter inside.


    But there were few that could come back alive.


    If others entered the Land of Exile, Feng Xuanyi naturally could not be bothered to care.


    Life and death are up to fate, not experiencing the tempering of blood, how could one possibly become a powerhouse?


    But Ye Yuan was different!


    He shouldered the heavy burden of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s resurgence. If he fell in the Land of Exile, the loss to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect would be too great.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect could not bear it!


    ��Other things, this sect master can agree to it; only this matter can��t! You should know how much you mean to the sect!�� Feng Xuanyi said.


    Ye Yuan said, ��My alchemy path understandings have already been imparted to Jingxuan and Lin Lan. With them around, as long as they followed the routine to cultivate, Wu Chengchao might be able to break through to grade four heavenly alchemist. Even if I stay in the sect, it won��t be very useful either.��


    But Feng Xuanyi said firmly, ��Even if Wu Chengchao can become a grade four heavenly alchemist, he��s unable to replace your position too! There��s no comparison between you and him! This sect master is helming the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. Could it be that I can��t even see this? There��s no discussion about this matter!��


    Finished saying, Feng Xuanyi turned around and left, without leaving any leeway.

 Chapter 2595 - Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs

    ��Halt!��


    Ye Yuan was stopped by Han Qianyun as soon as he arrived at Flowing Cloud Peak.


    The Land of Exile was an independent space. The five great heavenly sects all had transmission arrays that led there.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s transmission array was on Flowing Cloud Peak.


    Seeing Han Qianyun, Ye Yuan said with a frown, ��I want to enter the Land of Exile!��


    Han Qianyun said with a cold smile, ��Sorry, Elder Ye! The Land of Exile is under the jurisdiction of my master. Without Master��s orders, nobody can enter the Land of Exile!��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, ��You dare stop me?��


    Han Qianyun said coolly, ��So what if I stop you? It��s also not that you can��t enter. As long as you get the warrant from Master there, you can! Or you can defeat me and step over my body!��


    Ye Yuan did not argue either, turning around and leaving.


    Han Qianyun looked at Ye Yuan��s departing back view and could not help feeling the delight of having taken revenge.


    After he left, a figure came out, who could it be if not Feng Xuanyi?


    ��You did very well!�� Feng Xuanyi said.


    Han Qianyun hurriedly said, ��Sect Master, rest assured. With me around, it��s absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to break through!��


    Feng Xuanyi nodded and said, ��I naturally feel reassured about you. But this period of time, you have to be on alert and not slack off in the slightest! Below Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he can easily break through!��


    Han Qianyun said, ��Yes, Sect Master!��


    After that day, Feng Xuanyi took various measures to prevent Ye Yuan from entering the Land of Exile.


    He knew that Ye Yuan��s methods were strange and unpredictable, so he even transferred Han Qianyun this protector over to guard Flowing Cloud Peak.


    Of course, he used Shi Feiyu as the shield, so as to also reduce Ye Yuan��s bad impression.


    After Ye Yuan returned, he was surprisingly quiet and did not find him to make a big fuss.


    One or two days, Feng Xuanyi was naturally uneasy.


    But several months passed in a row. Ye Yuan was just cultivating in closed-seclusion or teaching the heavenly alchemists to refine pills. Feng Xuanyi also naturally set his mind at ease.


    However, Feng Xuanyi still had Han Qianyun wait in full battle state, to prevent Ye Yuan from slipping in.


    On this day, Ye Yuan finished giving pointers to Wu Chengchao as usual.


    Wu Chengchao was naturally endlessly grateful.


    ��Elder Ye��s alchemy path strength grows deep with each passing day. Wu Chengchao benefited a lot each time!�� Wu Chengchao said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    These few years of guidance, they were not the only ones who improved.


    Wu Chengchao could also clearly feel that Ye Yuan was improving!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s improvement speed was unimaginably fast!


    This was the scariest part!


    The longer it became, the more Wu Chengchao felt that Ye Yuan��s talent was terrifying.


    As for affinity this benchmark, it was long already tossed to the back of his mind by him.


    Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Your cultivation of grade one basic heavenly pills has already approached consummation. You can start the cultivation of grade two heavenly pills already.��


    The moment Wu Chengchao heard, he said, ��Really?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Would I still lie to you? Go. Go to your residence. I want to give you special training.��


    Wu Chengchao was ecstatic and did not suspect anything, repeatedly saying yes.


    The two arrived at Skywater Peak. Wu Chengchao resided here.


    As a grade three heavenly alchemist protector, there was naturally a pill room in Wu Chengchao��s residence too.


    Wu Chengchao had a look of excitement on his face as he said, ��Elder Ye, how are you teaching me?��


    Ye Yuan casually beckoned his hand, a row of heavenly medicines landed on the table neatly.


    ��You extract all of these heavenly medicines first.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Wu Chengchao looked at these heavenly medicines doubtfully and said in confusion, ��Elder Ye, what heavenly pill can these heavenly medicines refine? I��ve never heard of it!��


    Ye Yuan said solemnly, ��This is an obscure kind of grade two basic heavenly pill. That��s why you don��t need to know its origins. In a while, you just refine according to my instructions! I want to see what problems exist in your refinement of grade two heavenly pills.��


    When Wu Chengchao heard that, he came to a sudden realization and said sincerely, ��Brilliant, Elder Ye!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly and did not say anything.


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not help being amused in his heart.


    In a while, you won��t be calling me brilliant!


    Wu Chengchao did as he said, extracting entirely all these heavenly medicines, and sending them into the medicine cauldron all at once.


    Start refining pills!


    Ye Yuan talked on and on in a flow of eloquence, issuing one order after another.


    Wu Chengchao was like a robot being controlled, operating frantically according to Ye Yuan��s instructions.


    If it were before, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to complete these instructions.


    But now, he was actually able to keep up with Ye Yuan!


    This discovery made Wu Chengchao wildly ecstatic.


    Elder Ye is Elder Ye. My current alchemy path strength has improved too much compared to before! This is still just having cultivated grade one basic heavenly pills. If I finish cultivating grade two and three basic heavenly pills, I probably won��t be far away from grade four heavenly alchemist too! Wu Chengchao thought in his heart.


    These few years, the growth in Wu Chengchao��s strength was crystal clear in his heart.


    It could be said to be a qualitative leap!


    When he refined grade one heavenly pills now, it could basically all reach seventh grade and above!


    Refining grade two heavenly pills could basically all reach fifth grade and above too.


    As for grade three heavenly pills, those that he could not refine in the past, he could refine them now.


    Those that he could refine in the past, their quality also improved greatly now!


    His current alchemy path strength was definitely not worse than Qin Shun!


    All these were due to Ye Yuan!


    Therefore, he was extremely grateful to Ye Yuan.


    When there��s a chance in the future, I must repay Elder Ye! Wu Chengchao made up his mind secretly.


    It was just that, he did not know that his chance to repay had already come.


    Wu Chengchao��s refinement went very smoothly.


    Very soon, the refinement was completed!


    Wu Chengchao looked at Ye Yuan with a fidgety face and asked, ��Elder Ye, I wonder if my refinement this time is still okay?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Whether it��s okay or not, wouldn��t you know when you open the furnace?��


    Wu Chengchao nodded repeatedly and flipped his palm. He opened the furnace!


    Boom!


    A cloud of yellow smog gushed out.


    Wu Chengchao was caught off-guard and directly sucked in a deep mouthful.


    Then his eyes rolled back, and he fell stiffly to the ground, spasming endlessly.


    While Ye Yuan��s figure had already disappeared.


    Looking at the smoke billowing on Skywater Peak, Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This enhanced version of Windward Topple is really strong! Zhong Jianchou probably also didn��t expect that Windward Topple could become so fierce, right? Heh, Sect Master, you miscalculated. Can a mere Han Qianyun stop me, Ye Yuan?��


    Finished saying, his figure sped by, heading for Flowing Cloud Peak.


    On Skywater Peak, thick smoke billowed, virtually enveloping the entire mountain peak.


    ��What��s going on? Just what the hell did Wu Chengchao this fellow �� refine?�� On Skywater Peak, a protector directly collapsed on the ground before finishing his sentence, convulsing endlessly.


    There were many protectors staying on Skywater Peak.


    However, after this smoke came out, it was condensed and did not disperse.


    Those protectors were all being alarmed. But as long as they touched this thick smoke, they directly fell to the ground and spasmed.


    Very soon, the commotion on Skywater Peak naturally attracted the attention of all peaks.


    ��Quick look! What��s happening on Skywater Peak?��


    ��I heard that the Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses on it all collapsed. Let��s quickly go up and take a look.��


    ��Not good! You all quickly look! That thick smoke is headed for Flowing Cloud Peak!��


    �� ��

 Chapter 2596 - Pandemonium!

    ��Sect Master, this cloud of thick smoke is very formidable! We can��t get close at all! I��m afraid that an enemy has attacked!�� A purple-wing protector came to report.


    Feng Xuanyi��s gaze turned slightly dark, and he said in a cold voice, ��Go and prepare quickly! Open the sect protecting grand array and meet the enemy!��


    ��Yes!�� The purple-wing protector received the order and left.


    At this time, the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect entered a state of combat readiness.


    Everyone was waiting eagerly for battle already, planning on dealing a painful strike to the invading enemy.


    Behind Feng Xuanyi, Luo Yunqing came out, brimming with fighting intent as he said, ��Sect Master, I��m going to Skywater Peak!��


    But Feng Xuanyi shook his head and said, ��Don��t panic! The enemy��s intention is unknown. If you launch an attack rashly, you��ll likely fall into passiveness. This poison fog is very formidable. It has obviously been planned for a long time. There��s probably already no survivor on Skywater Peak anymore!��


    Luo Yunqing gritted his teeth lightly, his eyes full of killing intent.


    Right at this time, another person came to report, ��Sect Master, things are bad! That thick smoke has gone with the wind, and it already floated to Flowing Cloud Peak!��


    The moment Luo Yunqing heard, he could not endure it anymore and said, ��Sect Master, this poison fog doesn��t dissipate when the wind blows! If we allow it to continue floating, I��m afraid that there is no need to wait for the enemy to attack; our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will already be destroyed!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said, ��Go and inform all elders to go to Flowing Cloud Peak and await orders!��


    ��Yes!�� That protector received the order and left.


    ��Wait!�� The protector had not left yet but was stopped by Feng Xuanyi again.


    ��Just now, you said Flowing Cloud Peak?�� Feng Xuanyi said with a frown.


    The protector nodded his head and said, ��Yes! Skywater Peak is located to the southeast of Flowing Cloud Peak, the northwest wind blows there all year round. The poisonous smoke has already drifted to Flowing Cloud Peak along with the northwest wind!��


    ��Hu �� huhuhu, hahaha ����


    When Feng Xuanyi heard that, he was taken back first, then smiled faintly, and turned into a peal of roaring laughter in the end.


    Luo Yunqing and the protector were baffled, not knowing why Feng Xuanyi laughed.


    ��What��s wrong, Sect Master?�� Luo Yunqing frowned and said.


    Feng Xuanyi laughed until tears were almost coming out. Hearing that, he shook his head and said, ��I��m laughing at how Ye Yuan��s, that punk, methods are really formidable! This sect master refused to let him enter the Land of Exile, and so he turned the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect upside down!��


    Luo Yunqing was stunned and said, ��Ye Yuan? What does this have to do with him?��


    Feng Xuanyi��s laughter gradually ceased, and he said with a cold snort, ��What has it got to do with him? This punk must have long already calculated the wind direction, and then he cast poison on Skywater Peak! Then he let the poisonous smoke move with the wind and float toward Flowing Cloud Peak! Heh, nice trick! Really excellent trick!��


    The moment Luo Yunqing heard this, it suddenly dawned on him.


    But listening to it still felt fantastical.


    ��Sect Master, this �� this isn��t too likely, right? After all, Ye Yuan is just a grade one heavenly alchemist. So how can he possibly refine such a powerful poison?�� Luo Yunqing said.


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression became solemn and he said, ��What you said is true too. This matter can��t be slipshod. It��s better we go to Flowing Cloud Peak to take a look at the situation first! You, quickly go and check on Ye Yuan��s movements for me! After investigating clearly, tell me right away!��


    ��Yes!�� That protector received the order and left.


    �� ��


    On Flowing Cloud Peak, powerhouses gathered.


    Even some elders who were reclusive and did not emerge were also alarmed.


    Currently, on Flowing Cloud Peak, just the Jade Sovereign Heaven elders were as many as more than 20!


    A figure came down from Flowing Cloud Peak.


    Feng Xuanyi said with a frown, ��How is it, Yunqing?��


    Luo Yunqing drew a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, ��They are all fine. It��s just that they are poisoned, their entire body spasming endlessly! Looking at the appearance, it should be �� Windward Topple!��


    Feng Xuanyi was taken aback and said, ��Windward Topple? When did this poison become so powerful?��


    Windward Topple poison had long already become renowned.


    The entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect knew about it.


    It was just that they also knew that this poison could only paralyze below Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums were immune to this poison!


    Luo Yunqing smiled bitterly and said, ��Although their symptoms are the same as Windward Topple, this poison is indeed extremely powerful! Even when I went up, I also felt quite uncomfortable!��


    ��What?! This �� How is this possible?�� Feng Xuanyi as well as the group of elders all had shocked expressions on their faces.


    They had never heard before that Windward Topple could actually be so powerful, able to even affect Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    Luo Yunqing smiled bitterly and said, ��It can basically be ascertained that this matter was caused by Ye Yuan! When I found Han Qianyun, there was also �� a shoe print on his face, he was clearly stepped on by someone! The transmission array to enter the Land of Exile has already been touched by someone.��


    By the side, Shi Feiyu��s expression could not help turning black.


    This Ye Yuan was really shameless to the extreme!


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression was ugly too, but in his heart, he already approved of Luo Yunqing��s judgment.


    Because when Han Qianyun let out the harsh words, he was hiding not far away.


    Han Qianyun said, or you could defeat me, and step over my body!


    This damn guy really did it!


    Feng Xuanyi covered his face with his hand. He was seriously unable to accept such a result.


    He already considered all possibilities and had never slackened off in these past few months too.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually caused such a huge commotion in order to enter the Land of Exile!


    This boy was really too frightening!


    If he really wanted to deal with the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, they would probably be pretty much completely annihilated apart from the elders now.


    A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, this deterrence was also too terrifying!


    And right at this time, that protector who went to investigate Ye Yuan came back.


    ��How is it? Where did Ye Yuan go?�� Feng Xuanyi hurriedly asked.


    That protector said, ��Today, after Elder Ye finished giving pointers to everyone��s pill refinement, he said that he was going to teach Wu Chengchao alone! Afterward, the two of them went up Skywater Peak, and no one saw him again!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression flickered indeterminately and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Heh! A fine borrowing a chicken to lay an egg! Good! Good! Good!��


    The three ��good��s exuded endless helplessness.


    He calculated everything and also never expected that Ye Yuan actually used such an ingenious move!


    The elders and protectors present also could not muster up any temper.


    He already ran. Their bellies full of anger had nowhere to vent too!


    But this guy was really lawless and unbridled.


    In order to enter the Land of Exile, he sent the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect into pandemonium!


    That protector asked weakly, ��Sect Master, what �� what should we do?��


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression was grim until it was almost dripping water.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��What else can we do? All elders listen up! You all go up the peak together and scatter the poisonous smoke! The rest, stay where you are and wait for orders!��


    The poisonous smoke seemed to have grown roots, unable to disperse at all.


    Only elder-level Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses could scatter it with their profound power.


    When Feng Xuanyi saw this scene, he was shocked in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had such terrifying strength!


    He naturally knew about the poison Windward Topple.


    But there definitely wasn��t such a powerful Windward Topple.


    That could only mean that this thing was invented by Ye Yuan himself!


    He looked at Flowing Cloud Peak and said with a sigh, ��Scoundrelly punk, I hope that you can come back alive! No, wait! Maybe if you go to the Land of Exile, those wicked and ferocious villains will probably have a headache when they see you too, right?��

 Chapter 2597 - Killing People to Establish Awe!

    ��Wang Tie, this White Pine Melody was discovered by our Ning Si City first. You guys dare to snatch it?��


    ��Liang Wen, is your brain freaking spoiled? Who will talk to you about who discovered it first in this Land of Exile? Whoever snatches it first belongs to whom!��


    ��Screw you! I will hack you to death!��


    ��Am I scared of you?! Brothers, kill for me!��


    �� ��


    In the dense woods, two groups drew their swords against each other at a word of disagreement.


    Although both sides were all Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums, their combat strength was extremely intrepid.


    For some time, they were locked in a struggle.


    Especially Wang Tie and Liang Wen, the two people exchanged dozens of moves in the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint. No one could get close.


    ��F*cking hell! If our Ning Si City can��t get it, your Resplendent Sun City can forget about getting it too! Zhang Yang, go and destroy the White Pine Melody for Your Father! Don��t leave a single one behind!��


    Liang Wen gradually faltered in strength and fury immediately rose up in his heart, and he was going to destroy this stretch of White Pine Melody.


    White Pine Melody was a grade one heavenly medicine that was very hard to come across. With several dozen stalks appearing here all of a sudden, both sides naturally coveted it greatly.


    Having gotten the order, Zhang Yang forced his opponent back with a single saber blow and moved toward the White Pine Melody like lightning.


    His movement technique was extremely fast. His opponent could not catch up in time at all.


    Seeing the White Pine Melody in front of him, Zhang Yang raised his hand and dealt a saber blow!


    However, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred.


    Zhang Yang only felt a blur before his eyes, a figure already blocked in front.


    Bang!


    Before he could see his opponent clearly, his figure directly flew out.


    ��I didn��t expect that the moment I came to the Land of Exile, I ran into so many White Pine Melody. My luck is really good!��


    A youth in white played with the White Pine Melody in his hand, his face seemingly full of satisfaction.


    This youth was in white was naturally the Ye Yuan who had just entered the Land of Exile not long ago.


    He was currently at a loss when he suddenly heard that there was the sound of fierce fighting over here, and he came over following the sound.


    But unexpectedly, he saw such a large stretch of White Pine Melody.


    This White Pine Melody was precisely a main medicine for the imperial grade heavenly pill, Yu Qi Dust Cleansing Heavenly Imperial Pill.


    But Ye Yuan��s sudden arrival made both sides�� fierce fighting come to an abrupt end.


    Ye Yuan started collecting the White Pine Melody unhurriedly and said nonchalantly, ��You guys carry on. Don��t need to care about me. I��ll leave after collecting all of them.��


    Both sides stopped fighting and quietly surrounded Ye Yuan in the middle, blocking all of his paths of retreat.


    ��Heh heh, another brat who doesn��t know life from death!�� Wang Tie said with a playful smile on his face.


    ��Looking at this attire, it should be the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, right? Looks like it��s a fool who came in this time!�� Liang Wen said with a cold smile.


    ��Brat, hand over the storage ring on you and kneel down and kowtow three times. Elder Brother Tie, I, can spare your life and let you follow Elder Brother Tie in the future,�� Wang Tie said with a smile.


    Not only did Wang Tie and Liang Wen not get angry, but they also seem to be very happy instead.


    The various sects�� disciples that came to train in the Land of Exile would normally carry all sorts of treasures on them, which were much more valuable than the White Pine Melody.


    The various sect disciples who came to train were all cautious after entering, akin to treading on thin ice.


    This guy was good, directly running in front of two great factions to posture; how ridiculous!


    Since that was the case, they naturally would not be courteous either. They would kindly accept the treasures on Ye Yuan.


    With regards to everyone��s encirclement, Ye Yuan remained indifferent.


    After collecting the White Pine Melody, he pointed at Wang Tie and said, ��You come and tell me about the distribution of this Land of Exile��s first level, and then kneel down and kowtow thrice, and get lost!��


    Wang Tie was stunned. This boy who came to train seemed to be somewhat different from the rest!


    Ugh ��


    Seems like, he was really a fool!


    ��Hahaha, boy, you probably don��t even know what��s your surname, right? Making Elder Brother Tie, I, kneel for you. Can you bear it?�� Wang Tie said with a loud laugh.


    ��Listen up, our Big Brother Tie is Resplendent Sun City��s ranked 29th big shot!��


    ��If you don��t know what 29th place means, then let me tell you. His strength is invincible among your sect��s Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums!��


    ��Punk, why haven��t you knelt down to apologize for your offense!��


    �� ��


    The small fries immediately brought out Wang Tie��s identity, attempting to scare Ye Yuan.


    It was just that Ye Yuan was aloof and indifferent and said coolly, ��You just kneel down. I can bear it!��


    Wang Tie��s gaze turned cold and he said, ��Refusing face when it��s given! Since you��re courting death yourself, then Big Brother Tie, I, will send you off! Attack!��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Under Wang Tie��s word of command, more than ten figures rushed towards Ye Yuan.


    Liang Wensheng was afraid that the good stuff would be snatched by Wang Tie. So he also brought his men and rushed over.


    More than 20 upper and grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums swarming over, their commotion was quite shocking.


    None of these people were mediocre.


    Those able to survive in the Land of Exile were all veterans of a hundred battles. No one knew how much fresh blood had stained their hands.


    Their combat strength was far from what cultivation realm could measure.


    These people, even if it was just a small fry, they could also jump realms to battle when placed outside.


    With over 20 people dealing with one person, that feeling of oppression could only be imagined.


    However, Ye Yuan dodged in the crowd, akin to strolling idly in a courtyard.


    Occasionally flicking his finger, sabers and swords would slip out of the hand directly.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, Liang Wen slashed over with a saber.


    Ye Yuan turned sideways slightly and guided with his fingertip, Liang Wen staggered and could not pull his saber back in time.


    Pffft!


    This blade just happened to stab right through Wang Tie!


    Wang Tie did not dare to believe everything that happened before his eyes until death.


    How could a trial-taker be so strong?


    It turned out that he was that fool!


    Wang Tie��s eyes gradually dimmed, completely losing consciousness.


    ��This �� How can it be like this?��


    ��S-So strong! He hasn��t even attacked and Wang Tie already died?��


    ��This trial-taker is different from the others!��


    �� ��


    Liang Wen similarly had a look of disbelief. He could not quite imagine that his blade actually killed Wang Tie so easily.


    That blade just now, he seemed to have been bewitched, thrusting it out involuntarily.


    The timing was just right!


    It was as if Wang Tie himself got tired of living, colliding onto the edge of his saber.


    One had to know, he was evenly matched in strength with Wang Tie.


    Even if he wanted to kill the opponent, it had to at least be after several hundred moves too!


    ��He��s not saying anything. So why don��t you tell me then?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Y-Yes! Y-Your Excellency, spare my life!�� Liang Wen let go of his saber and directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan.


    The others knelt down one after another.


    The Land of Exile did not have any rules at all. Whoever��s fist was harder, whoever would be the boss!


    The people here also had ways of seeking death. Ye Yuan did not have the slightest psychological burden in killing any one of them.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I don��t like to kill people, but I��m not afraid of killing people too. What happens will depend on your performance.��


    Liang Wen hurriedly kowtowed incessantly and said, ��Your Excellency just ask away. This lowly one will definitely spill everything that I know!��


    Very soon, Liang Wen introduced the Land of Exile��s first level��s forces.


    Land of Exile, each major cultivation realm lived on a level.


    The first level was the place where Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums were at.


    If one reached Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, they would ascend to the next level.


    The first level had ten great factions, gathered in ten cities respectively.


    The ten cities were ruled by ten sovereigns respectively.


    Friction would often occur among them.

 Chapter 2598 - Taken Over by Me!

    In the Land of Exile, no one would look at how your cultivation realm was.


    Because here, for someone to jump realms in a battle, it was too normal!


    A grand completion Lesser Sublime Heaven being finished off by an upper Lesser Sublime Heaven, this sort of thing was very common.


    In fact, there were even precedents of grand completion powerhouses being finished off by middle Lesser Sublime Heavens!


    As for the sovereigns of these ten great cities, they had practically reached the limits of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum already.


    As long as they were willing, they could break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum at any time.


    But ascending to the next level, they could only be the small fries.


    Therefore, they would rather not ascend.


    But it was said that these ten people��s combat power already rivaled Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Okay, then take me to Resplendent Sun City.��


    Liang Wen and the rest naturally did not dare to refuse and could only bring Ye Yuan into Resplendent Sun City.


    This place originally did not have a city. Later on, the number of people who were captured increased, giving birth to all kinds of factions.


    Hence, there were gradually cities.


    This place did not have too many rules; a big fist was the absolute principle.


    Regarding this point, Ye Yuan had already heard about it before coming.


    Entering the city, Ye Yuan immediately attracted the attention of countless people.


    ��Eh, it��s an outsider! Looking at his appearance, he seems like a Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciple. Heh heh, boy, just came out to experience the world, right? To actually dare swagger your way into the city like this, hand over the items on your body ����


    Pffft!


    A grand completion level powerhouses saw Ye Yuan and thought that he was easy to bully, so he came up to show off and posture.


    In the end, before he finished talking, he was split apart by Liang Wen with one slash.


    Liang Wen spat and said disdainfully, ��Hand over your ass! Damn blind thing, to actually dare offend His Excellency! What are you looking at? Get lost to one side, keep posturing and the outcome will be the same as him!��


    He was somewhat doubtful. Was this fool stupid or not?


    Liang Wen was following behind like a grandson, and yet he actually dared to come up and posture.


    Sure enough, a saber swinging down, the world became quiet.


    Everyone looked toward Ye Yuan with looks of surprise, extremely shocked.


    Liang Wen was Resplendent Sun City��s bit shot, an existence whose strength ranked in the top 30.


    If even he became a follower, this Martial Secure Heavenly Sect disciple was so impressive!


    ��Which place has the most people?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Liang Wen hurriedly moved closer and said, ��Resplendent Sun Plaza!��


    ��Lead the way!��


    Liang Wen trotted to the front and led the way for Ye Yuan.


    Before long, they arrived at an open square.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and discovered that there were indeed streams of people on the plaza, and was quite satisfied.


    Under Liang Wen��s puzzled gaze, Ye Yuan slowly walked towards the center of the plaza.


    His subordinate had a puzzled look on his face and asked, ��Big Brother Wen, this guy is being secretive. What does he want to do?��


    Liang Wen rolled his eyes and said crossly, ��How would I know? However, our little lives are saved at any rate!��


    The subordinates had looks of approval on their faces, feeling like they had just made a trip to and fro the gates of hell.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan arrived at the center of the square and said loudly, ��From now on, Resplendent Sun City will be taken over by me! Within three days, the top 100 powerhouses in the city who don��t come and submit, will be killed without mercy!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice was akin to a bolt out of the blue, reverberating throughout the entire Resplendent Sun City.


    When Liang Wen and the rest heard it, they could not help being stunned.


    Terrific fellow! This was really domineering!


    ��What is he saying? I didn��t hear it wrongly, right?��


    ��This boy is probably a lunatic who turned silly from cultivation, right?��


    ��Did he come to train or seek death? Huhu, what a joke!��


    �� ��


    A series of ridiculing voices came over from the plaza. Regarding Ye Yuan��s declaration, no one felt that it was very domineering, they just found it funny.


    Over the years, there were some who challenged city lords, and also those who challenged the top ten powerhouses.


    But no one dared to challenge the top 100 powerhouses so arrogantly at the same time.


    The top 100 represented the entire Resplendent Sun City!


    This person was declaring war on the entire Resplendent Sun City!


    This was not domineering, this was courting death!


    ��Hahaha, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s punk, do you feel that the Land of Exile is too boring, and specially came to make jokes? I��m Resplendent Sun City��s 85th place Jiao Duo. I won��t submit to you. Try killing me for me to see!�� Jiao Duo said with a loud laugh.


    In the crowd, Liang Wen rolled his eyes and said, ��Idiot!��


    Sure enough, his voice had yet to fade, only to see a streak of cold light flash past.


    Jiao Duo was decapitated!


    From start to end, Ye Yuan did not even look at him.


    The loud laughter abruptly stopped.


    They could not laugh anymore, this guy��s strength was too horrifying!


    ��This �� This �� How can he be this strong? Is he really a sect disciple?��


    ��When did Martial Secure Heavenly Sect produce such a monster?��


    ��No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. It turns out that he really had his reliance! It��s just that, he probably doesn��t know about the terror of the Land of Exile yet, right?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s strength made everyone incredibly alarmed and terrified.


    But while they were surprised, they did not agree with Ye Yuan��s approach.


    The guys who were ranked higher, their strength became more terrifying.


    Killing Jiao Duo with a single sword, the top 20 powerhouses could all accomplish it.


    However, this also showed that Ye Yuan was equipped with the strength of the top 20.


    In the crowd, Liang Wen did not immediately come out to express surrender.


    He knew that someone would come very soon.


    The Land of Exile was such a bloody place. If you dared to come forward, you would be killed!


    Let alone someone as arrogant as Ye Yuan?


    According to Liang Wen��s estimation, Ye Yuan��s strength was far from just top 20, he definitely had the strength of top 10!


    It was just that which ranking in the top 10 was hard to say.


    Therefore, he was waiting to see.


    Stepping forward at this time to submit, if Ye Yuan lost, he would be screwed!


    Having lived in the Land of Exile for so long, one naturally had to know the way of protecting personal interest and staying out of trouble.


    Those who did not understand it had long turned cold.


    ��Huhu, Resplendent Sun City really hasn��t been so lively for a long time! Now, any random Tom, Dick, or Harry, dare to jump out!�� At this time, a figure walked out of the crowd.


    ��It��s the 19th place Quickblade, Qiu Chengzhi! Heh, there��s a show to watch now!��


    The moment this person appeared, he was immediately identified by people.


    Ye Yuan did not even look up and said coolly, ��Do you choose to submit, or die?��


    The moment Qiu Chengzhi heard, he was amused.


    He laughed and said, ��I choose, you die!��


    Amidst the laughter, his blade was already out of its sheath!


    People only saw things in a blur, unable to see the trajectory of the blade at all.


    The name of Quickblade was displayed in its entirety at this moment.


    ��His blade became faster!�� Liang Wen exclaimed.


    However, in the next second, everyone was petrified!


    Clank! Clank! Clank!


    Sparks from metal clashing continuously set off in the space around Ye Yuan.


    Only to see Qiu Chengzhi��s figure moving around constantly.


    While Ye Yuan did not move a muscle from beginning to end!


    He did not even make a move!


    Rays of sword energy wandered around Ye Yuan non-stop.


    In an instant, Qiu Chengzhi had moved no idea to how many locations and unleashed god knows how many cuts.


    But, he could not get close at all!


    Liang Wen��s eyes were full of astonishment.


    The subordinate said in shock, ��B-Big Brother Wen, this guy is also too monstrous, right? Quickblade Qiu Chengzhi actually can��t even force him to make a move?��


    Liang Wen smiled bitterly and said, ��That��s aura perception! He doesn��t need to take action at all. As long as Qiu Chengzhi enters his domain, there will be sword energy exchanging blows with him of its own accord!��

 Chapter 2599 - Bullying with Numbers!

    The subordinate said in shock, ��Then, isn��t it unsolvable?��


    But Liang Wen shook his head and said, ��Not unsolvable, but that Qiu Chengzhi��s blade isn��t fast enough!��


    Quickblade was not fast enough!


    This was perhaps the greatest irony.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    All of a sudden, sword light flashed past.


    Qiu Chengzhi was struck by several swords in an instant, landing miserably.


    ��Blade technique is decent, but it��s just a pity that it isn��t there yet!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Blade intent and sword intent were both at the first level of rule.


    Qiu Chengzhi was completely defeated!


    Qiu Chengzhi struggled to get up and knelt in front of Ye Yuan and said, ��Qiu Chengzhi, thanks Your Excellency for your grace of not killing, I��m willing to follow Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Get up, wait at one side.��


    Qiu Chengzhi did not dare to disobey and got up to stand at one side droopily.


    ��Humph! What a trash! Qiu Chengzhi, you��re really declining the longer you live! Since you��ve lost, why aren��t you dead?��


    Right at this time, a cold snort came from the crowd.


    The piercing cold spear intent seemed to have come out of the underworld, locking onto Qiu Chengzhi firmly.


    Qiu Chengzhi��s expression changed wildly, and he exclaimed, ��Absolute Spear, Zheng Tianyang!��


    This spear carried an imposing momentum that dominated the whole world but was also unpredictable.


    People could not even detect where the spear was at!


    ��Number ten, Zheng Tianyan! He came too!��


    ��What a strong spear! He��s going to kill Qiu Chengzhi!��


    ��Heh, Qiu Chengzhi is to be killed when he was the first to submit. This is slapping face!��


    �� ��


    Those present were not fools. Someone immediately guessed Zheng Tianyang��s intentions.


    It was just that up until now, it was all just hearsay without seeing the person!


    Suddenly, there was a blur before everyone��s eyes.


    An ice-blue long spear already appeared three feet in front of Qiu Chengzhi.


    Three feet, for a spear technique that pressed forward indomitably, it was just a matter of a single breath.


    This already determined Qiu Chengzhi��s death.


    ��Universe!��


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.


    When he appeared again, he already blocked in front of Qiu Chengzhi.


    Boom!


    An intense explosion sound came over, Zheng Tianyang��s figure fell back over a dozen steps in a row before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    While Ye Yuan did not budge an inch!


    Zheng Tianyang��s expression changed wildly, looking at Ye Yuan full of dread.


    His indomitable strike was actually blocked by Ye Yuan!


    Furthermore, it was when his spear momentum reached its pinnacle and clashed head-on to forcibly block it!


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently standing with his hands behind his back as he looked at him indifferently and said, ��Spear technique is not bad! But you can��t arouse my interest. Submit, or die!��


    Ye Yuan naturally did not come here to dominate the Resplendent Sun City.


    He did it in order to borrow the hands of these powerhouses to temper himself.


    These ferocious and wicked people who were veterans were absolutely the best opponents for training.


    But, that also depended on who the opponent was.


    At least, the top 10 had already taken the stage, but Ye Yuan did not have the interest of making his move.


    Zheng Tianyang was very strong, but he still could not arouse his interest.


    Zheng Tianyang��s expression flickered indeterminately. Finally, he cupped his fists and gave a bow as he said, ��Zheng Tianyang is willing to submit!��


    Not submitting was death!


    That blow just now, the victor was already determined. There was no need to fight anymore.


    While he was a great deal stronger than Qiu Chengzhi, it was also merely just forcing Ye Yuan to leave where he was standing.


    If they really clashed, he would definitely die within three moves!


    Zheng Tianyang was not a fool either. So why would he seek death himself?


    It was just that this scene looked incomparably shocking in everyone��s eyes.


    Talking about it was slow, but actually, from Zheng Tianyang opening his mouth to being repelled back, it was merely three breaths of time.


    Many people still had not figured out what was going on and it already ended.


    A second ago, Zheng Tianyang was still mocking Qiu Chengzhi for being a good-for-nothing.


    In the next second, he himself submitted too.


    Really a comical scene!


    It was just that no one laughed.


    On the contrary, they were deeply shocked.


    Even the 10th place Zheng Tianyang could not last a single move under Ye Yuan��s hands.


    Just how strong was he?


    After Zheng Tianyang, it was immediately much quieter.


    No one came out anymore.


    Ye Yuan was still seated on the ground, waiting for the next challenger.


    Two hours later, six figures walked out of the crowd, surrounding Ye Yuan.


    These six people, each of them had threatening and imposing auras!


    The appearance of these six people made everyone seethe with excitement all at once.


    ��Number nine, Zhou Jian; number eight, Qian Yuhuai; number seven, Luo Zhen; number six, Leng Xia; number five, Ling Bu; number four, Zhao Chendong! Six of the top ten powerhouses came all at once!��


    ��Too exciting! Too explosive! Didn��t expect that this outsider can actually force six people in the top ten to join forces! Furthermore, these six people��s strengths are not close. Each of them is extremely stronger than the last!��


    ��It looks like the six of them don��t have the confidence to win for sure too. That��s why they chose to join forces!��


    �� ��


    The Land of Exile was never a place that obeyed rules.


    The creed here was the fist!


    When they felt that they might not be able to defeat you, they would join forces to kill the enemy without the slightest hesitation!


    One-on-one did not exist!


    The six people got into position, with their killing intent already linked up together.


    Although the six of them had never joined forces before, amidst the endless killing, their control of killing intent had long already reached the acme of perfection.


    So when cooperating, it would not seem unsmooth!


    The fifth place Ling Bu said in a solemn voice, ��Outsider, you��re very strong! But you��re too arrogant! In the Land of Exile, arrogant people only have one outcome; that��s death!��


    The seventh place Luo Zhen said with a cold laugh, ��Huhu, punk, do you think that this place is the same as outside, and that we��ll come and challenge you one-on-one? What a joke!��


    Seeing the arrival of these six people, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said with a smile, ��I can feel that you guys are very strong. I hope that you guys won��t let me down!��


    Luo Zhen sneered and said, ��We won��t let you down. We��ll be sending you on your way! Kill!��


    With a word, the six people launched an attack at the same time!


    That commotion made the faces of everyone present change.


    The cooperation of the six was simply brilliant to the peak!


    No one could have imagined that this was actually their first time joining hands against an enemy!


    The rules that the six people were skilled in were different, but cooperating together, it was like nature itself, as if completely covering this world.


    And everything inside would be crushed.


    ��So strong! The combined attack of the six of them should be able to forcefully contend with the third place Di Xing, right?��


    ��That boy was too haughty! With these six people working together, even a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum will pale in comparison too! With just him alone, can he stop them?��


    ��The battle has ended! This boy��s talent was really wasted!��


    �� ��


    The six people��s perfect cooperation attracted a series of exclamations.


    However, the cooperation was secondary.


    These six people��s strength by itself already reached the limits of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    As long as they were willing, they could break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum at any time!


    Furthermore, their application of rule already reached the level of instinct.


    Right at the tip of their fingers!


    That spear strike of Zheng Tianyang would definitely be instantly crushed under these six people��s combined attack!


    It was not on the same level at all!


    Therefore, in their view, Ye Yuan was dead without a doubt!


    Facing such a powerful attack, Ye Yuan��s face revealed a smile and he said, ��Not bad. This makes it a little interesting! This Land of Exile indeed has tigers crouching and dragons hiding!��


    He felt a strong pressure!


    With six people joining forces, it was truly a thunderbolt blow!


    But this also triggered his powerful fighting intent!

 Chapter 2600 - Secretly Learning

    ��Universe!��


    ��Dual Polarity!��


    ��Four Symbols!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s sword art swept out one move after another. However, facing the suppression of six great experts, Ye Yuan was still somewhat in a strained situation.


    Especially facing the fourth place Zhao Chendong, he gave Ye Yuan tremendous pressure.


    The experts of the Land of Exile, their talent might not be as strong as the outside world��s experts.


    But the slaughter that they experienced shook the outside world powerhouses off by more than ten streets!


    Fighting was already fused in their blood.


    In this place, not fighting meant death!


    That Zhao Chendong used the sword too. But the path that he took was extremely different from others.


    Each time he unleashed a sword strike, it was like an old lady swinging a sword. It was unbelievably slow.


    However, each of his slashes would appear at your most uncomfortable place.


    Seemingly slow, but in reality fast!


    With regards to Zhao Chendong, Ye Yuan was incomparably surprised too.


    He deduced the Dao of Fast and Slow of sword art to the extreme!


    Just a quick sword naturally did not count as anything.


    But the Dao of Fast and Slow was similarly a perfect cycle!


    In other words, Zhao Chendong��s sword technique was similarly a deduction of Great Dao!


    The Great Dao of Universe was integrated into Ye Yuan��s sword art, being all-encompassing. It was naturally stronger than Zhao Chendong��s.


    It was just that the others were not easy to deal with either, and could compensate for Zhao Chendong��s inadequacies very well.


    Ye Yuan fell into a bitter fight.


    However, this scene still shocked everyone.


    ��His sword technique is actually even stronger than Zhao Chendong��s!��


    ��This boy is fighting six people by himself. His strength can probably squeeze into the top three already!��


    ��When did Martial Secure Heavenly Sect produce such a monster?��


    �� ��


    In the beginning, Ye Yuan��s action was just talking big to impress people in everyone��s eyes.


    But now, no one went to laugh at him anymore.


    Even if he could not rival six people, his strength obtained sufficient proof too.


    In the crowd, two figures were currently chatting about something.


    A man in black clothing said, ��Huhu, I was wondering how capable he was. It looks like it��s only this and nothing more too.��


    Beside him, a man in green clothes stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��His strength shouldn��t be just this.��


    The man in black said in surprise, ��How so?��


    The man in green clothing said, ��To dare provoke the powerhouses in the entire city like this, it��s either a fool or their strength is extremely formidable! You look at his appearance. Does he look like a fool?��


    The man in black frowned and said, ��You��re saying that he��s the same as us, grasping two or more power of rules? But he doesn��t have the advantage right now. Why doesn��t he use his full strength yet?��


    The man in green smiled and said, ��He��s naturally tempering his sword art! Regarding Zhao Chendong six people��s strength, they are neither high nor low. They are just nicely a piece of decent whetting stone! And this is probably precisely his goal of coming to the Land of Exile, right?��


    The man in black said disdainfully, ��Just the likes of a sect disciple also has this thinking and strength? I don��t believe it! This Land of Exile, how many sect disciples have come in to train before? Didn��t they all become deceased souls under our blades? This boy is naturally no exception either.��


    The man in green smiled and did not speak.


    Amidst the fierce fighting, Ye Yuan��s sword seemed to be getting slower and slower.


    That tempo showed some signs of approaching Zhao Chendong.


    And this change made the originally unassailable Universe actually reveal quite a number of flaws.


    Ye Yuan also suffered quite a few injuries because of this.


    How could Zhao Chendong not understand Ye Yuan��s thoughts? He then said disdainfully, ��Imitating others and losing one��s own individuality, incurring the ridicule of experts! This sword art was only honed through my countless life and death instances, how could it be learned overnight?��


    ��Heh, this is sharpening one��s spear on the eve of battle, don��t you feel that it��s too late?�� Ling Bu also said with a cold smile.


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s approaching of ��secretly learning��, everyone turned their noses up in disdain.


    But to the six great experts, they were naturally happy to see it happen.


    They just had to kill the opponent. As for how he died, they did not care.


    The most worthless thing in this place was human lives.


    Ye Yuan��s Universe was all-inclusive. But it was just a framework.


    The more things contained in Universe, the more complex it would be, and the stronger it would get!


    Zhao Chendong��s Dao of Fast and Slow undoubtedly gave Ye Yuan a new train of thought.


    Integrating Fast and Slow Sword Dao into Universe would definitely greatly increase its power.


    But saying and doing were two different things.


    Just as Zhao Chendong said, this was only honed through his countless life and death instances, how could it be comprehended so easily?


    Let alone that he even had to fuse it into the Universe Sword Dao.


    But Zhao Chendong still underestimated Ye Yuan!


    His Universe Sword Dao was extremely high level to begin with and Fast and Slow Sword Dao was just a part of it.


    Operating from a strategically advantageous position, it was not far beyond reach for Ye Yuan to comprehend it.


    Coupled with that this kind of comprehension amidst life and death forced Ye Yuan to do his utmost.


    Ye Yuan��s Universe was gradually started reaching grand completion again!


    Zhao Chendong had clearly detected Ye Yuan��s transformation too. His expression changed wildly as he said, ��Not good! This guy��s Sword Dao is going to be perfected even more! This brat is going to defy the heavens!��


    Ye Yuan was riddled with wounds, but a faint smile hung on his face as he said, ��Imitating others and losing one��s own individuality is it? Huhu, looking on the account of the Fast and Slow Sword Dao, I��ll spare your lives!��


    Great Dao returning to one!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan��s sword light radiated brilliantly.


    It was still that Universe, but there was the additional change of fast and slow tempo in it!


    This sword was truly strange to the extreme.


    Zhao Chendong and the rest unleashed all of their abilities and were unable to block the edge of this sword too.


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    The six people were directly struck by the sword light and flew out.


    One sword defeating six powerhouses!


    When the man in black saw this scene, he was immediately stunned.


    ��This �� Is this guy a freak? Secretly learning in the midst of battle and integrating it into his own Sword Dao! Freaking hell, this is also too monstrous!��


    A hint of surprise flashed across in the eyes of the man in azure clothes too and he said, ��Such astonishing comprehension ability! Although his Sword Dao was stronger than Zhao Chendong��s, Fast and Slow Sword Dao is another facet of Sword Dao. It doesn��t just link with his Sword Dao! He can actually comprehend the Sword Dao within such a short time and fuse it into his own Sword Dao! Truly monstrous!��


    In his view, Ye Yuan was planning on using these few people to temper his Sword Dao, and then to use his trump card to defeat the opponents in the end.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan directly comprehended Sword Dao in the middle of the fight!


    The man in black said, ��He Yunxiang, it��s your turn to take the stage! If you lose to him, I��ll directly surrender!��


    This man in black was none other than precisely Resplendent Sun City��s rank three, Di Xing.


    And the man in green was the second place He Yunxiang.


    He Yunxiang did not speak. Walking out of the crowd, he walked straight toward Ye Yuan.


    Di Xing chuckled and said, ��Looks like it��s another fierce struggle between two evenly-matched opponents! If it��s He Yunxiang, he should be able to force out all of his strength, right?��


    He Yunxiang coming in front of Ye Yuan immediately caused a commotion!


    ��It��s He Yunxiang! There��s a good show to watch now!��


    ��He Yunxiang fused two kinds of power of rules. His combat power is unparalleled! I wonder; between him and this boy, who��s stronger?��


    ��Rubbish! Of course it��s He Yunxiang! You have to know, he��s a powerhouse who has been a city lord before! If not for Changsun Xingyu��s sudden emergence later on, he��d be this Resplendent Sun City��s number one!��


    �� ��

 Chapter 2601 - Changsun Xingyu

    ��I, Resplendent Sun��s number two, He Yunxiang, am willing to submit to Your Excellency!��


    He Yunxiang arrived in front of Ye Yuan and gave a deep bow, uttering words that shocked everyone.


    Di Xing was immediately stupefied on the spot!


    He thought that He Yunxiang went to find Ye Yuan to fight it out. But who knew that he actually yielded right away!


    Big Brother, have some backbone, alright?


    You��re number two at any rate!


    Sure enough, with his sentence, the entire city exploded.


    ��Is there a mistake? He Yunxiang actually �� directly submitted?��


    ��Shouldn��t need to go so far, right? Although that boy won, he won with great difficulty! It��s impossible for He Yunxiang to not even be able to beat the few of them.��


    ��He Yunxiang admitted defeat. Doesn��t that mean that that boy is going to directly face off against Changsun Xingyu?��


    �� ��


    They did not dare to believe it. He Yunxiang actually did not have any backbone at all, directly conceding defeat before even fighting.


    In their view, Ye Yuan was so arrogant, Di Xing and He Yunxiang should not have let him go.


    In fact, the two people joining hands was also not impossible.


    Expectedly, he actually yielded.


    Ye Yuan looked at He Yunxiang and said coolly, ��Your strength isn��t weak. Don��t you want to have a match?��


    He Yunxiang said, ��This He��s strength isn��t weak, but I know that Your Excellency didn��t use your full strength!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who��s number one?��


    He Yunxiang was taken aback and said, ��Changsun Xingyu!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Three days later, if Changsun Xingyu doesn��t show up, you go and tear down the City Lord Manor!��


    He Yunxiang��s expression changed, a hint of surprise flashing across in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan saw through his plan with one glance!


    Indeed, he dreaded Ye Yuan a lot.


    But he directly submitted because he still had other plans.


    He planned on making use of Ye Yuan to go and deal with Changsun Xingyu.


    If Ye Yuan won, there would naturally be nothing wrong with his surrender.


    If he lost, it would not have been much of a loss to him.


    But Ye Yuan had clearly seen through his thoughts.


    Ye Yuan made him go and tear down the City Lord Manor. It was to make him go and be the vanguard.


    Once he really made a move, that would be tantamount to losing all decorum.


    He Yunxiang completely did not expect that this sect disciple who looked very inexperienced would actually be so experienced and cunning.


    ��This �� I obey your order!�� He Yunxiang hesitated for a bit but still agreed.


    He kept having a feeling, when he faced Ye Yuan, it was like facing Changsun Xingyu back then.


    In fact, it was even more terrifying than Changsun Xingyu!


    This was the instinct of an expert.


    It did not make sense, but it was very accurate!


    Just like how Ye Yuan knew that his strength was uncommon without exchanging blows with him, it was the same logic.


    Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, He Yunxiang still chose to submit to Ye Yuan.


    But when his actions and conduct landed in Di Xing��s eyes, it shook his heart greatly.


    He was just surprised for a moment just now, and then he understood He Yunxiang��s goal.


    But who knew that after Ye Yuan compelled, He Yunxiang still chose to submit!


    This was too surprising!


    Could it be that this guy was really so formidable?


    After repeated hesitation, Di Xing also came before Ye Yuan and said with clasped hands, ��Resplendent Sun City��s number three, Di Xing, is willing to submit to Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Mn, since you chose to submit too, you should go together with He Yunxiang then.��


    The corners of Di Xing��s mouth twitched slightly, but he still answered, ��Yes!��


    With these three people taking the lead, how could the others in the top 100 dare to not submit?


    Those people came out one after another, expressing their surrender to Ye Yuan.


    Everyone fell into shock.


    This sect disciple came to Resplendent Sun City for less than half a day and completely brought 99 out of the top 100 people into submission.


    This kind of strength truly took people��s breath away in astonishment!


    One had to know, the powerhouses of the Land of Exile were not born so powerful.


    They only gradually became stronger in the midst of countless life and death battles.


    But the moment Ye Yuan entered, he was already strong to such an extent?


    Then how great was his potential?


    Three days passed in a flash.


    Ye Yuan waited for three days, but Changsun Xingyu did not arrive.


    Then, he could only go and find himself.


    Words that were said and water that was spilled naturally could not be taken back.


    ��Changsun Xingyu has already not made a move for ten years! Ten years ago, ten of me added together wouldn��t even be his match! As for how strong he is now, nobody knows! Your Excellency, do you really want to challenge him?�� He Yunxiang said with a solemn expression.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s not to challenge him. It��s that those who don��t submit, kill!��


    He came to conquer the first level of the Land of Exile!


    The people who were exiled here all had ways of seeking death.


    Ye Yuan already gave the chance. Since Changsun Xingyu did not know how to cherish, then he would not be courteous.


    While the expressions of He Yunxiang and the rest turned somber and did not dare to say anything.


    City Lord Manor was not luxurious. In reality, in this space where the weak were prey to the strong, people would not pursue luxury.


    What they pursued was ultimate power.


    Because these people all understood that luxury would only make them go downhill.


    Even this Resplendent Sun City��s number one person could not slack off in the slightest too.


    Otherwise, they would be replaced by others very soon.


    ��He Yunxiang, Di Xing!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    These two people were full of unwillingness. But at this time, it was already not up to them anymore.


    If they did not make a move, it would be fighting.


    But the consequences of battle would have to be borne by themselves.


    The two exchanged a glance and made a move at the same time!


    The two people each unleashed a palm, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    Even a hint of appreciation flashed across in Ye Yuan��s eyes too.


    But right at this time, a palm wind fluttered out of the City Lord Manor, directly clashing with He Yunxiang two people.


    Boom!


    The two people spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, figures flying out backward.


    A young man in a blue shirt stood with his hands behind his back and walked out of the City Lord Manor.


    A hint of astonishment was revealed in He Yunxiang two people��s eyes.


    ��Changsun Xingyu! This guy became significantly stronger again than ten years ago!�� Di Xing said.


    He Yunxiang clutched his chest and said in a solemn voice, ��The ten great city lords will have a Dao debate every year! Only they themselves know who won and who lost! Looks like Changsun Xingyu improved significantly in these ten years!��


    The ten great city lords were this Land of Exile��s first level��s overlords.


    They already had no opponents.


    Sparring with the people below was just a waste of time.


    Hence, among these ten great city lords, they would host a Dao debate every year.


    But this Dao debate would never be made public.


    How terrifying these ten people��s strength was, only they themselves knew.


    Looking at it now, this Changsun Xingyu��s strength was more than a magnitude stronger again than ten years ago.


    Repelling two powerhouses with a palm!


    This strength, probably even 30 He Yunxiangs would not be a match anymore as well.


    Changsun Xingyu strolled out and said coolly, ��Boy, your talent is pretty good! I gave you the chance. Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk; hell has no gate, yet you want to barge inside! Since you��re courting death, then I can��t be blamed.��


    There was a confidence that considered everything and everyone beneath his notice on Changsun Xingyu��s face.


    As the city lord, with such a major thing happening in the city, it was naturally impossible for him to not know.


    But him not coming already showed an attitude.


    He was disdainful to take action against Ye Yuan.


    Or should he say, Ye Yuan was not worthy of making him take action!


    But Ye Yuan launching an attack on the City Lord Manor was another matter altogether.


    Ye Yuan looked at Changsun Xingyu and said coolly, ��Is that so? These words were precisely what I was going to say to you.��

 Chapter 2602 - Can’t Continue Posturing Anymore!

    With two great supreme powerhouses confronting each other, it made everyone��s breathing become ragged.


    One was a veteran overlord, a saber god of his generation who had once dragged He Yunxiang down the horse.


    The other was a new king who challenged the entire Resplendent Sun City with one sword!


    To which direction these two people��s fight would develop, it stirred up everyone��s nerves.


    ��Back then, He Yunxiang and Changsun Xingyu fought fiercely for 300 rounds before they barely managed to determine the victor! Now, Changsun Xingyu defeated him with a light palm, the two are already not on the same level anymore!��


    ��Ten years of Dao debate, Changsun Xingyu has already been reborn anew!��


    ��No matter how formidable this boy is, it��s also impossible to be Changsun Xingyu��s match anymore!��


    �� ��


    The striking impressiveness of this palm immediately let everyone realize Changsun Xingyu��s terror.


    Although Ye Yuan was powerful, it was impossible to reach Changsun Xingyu��s height.


    After all, that battle previously where Ye Yuan fought one-versus-six, he barely managed to win too.


    Changsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, ��Brat, don��t blame me for not giving you a chance. I��ll only unleash one saber cut. If you can block it and not die, I, Changsun Xingyu, will leave you with an intact corpse!��


    The words were full of contempt.


    In his view, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to block his saber cut.


    Even if he blocked it, he would be seriously injured on the verge of death too.


    Then he would grant him death!


    Everyone��s expressions turned fearful, feeling Changsun Xingyu��s killing intent.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said indifferently, ��This saber cut of yours, I��ll receive it! If it can harm me, I��ll leave you with an intact corpse!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Domineering!


    There were already glints and flashes of cold steel in these two people��s speeches.


    Changsun Xingyu gave a cold laugh and said, ��Sect disciples like you really don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Forget it. Since you��re wholeheartedly seeking death, I��ll send you off then!��


    His voice had yet to fade and Changsun Xingyu moved!


    Only to see him take a step out, the saber intent on his body billowed straight to the sky!


    Amidst this sharp and fierce saber intent actually even had other power of rules mixed inside.


    The rule of life!


    The rule of death!


    These two great rules fused perfectly together with Changsun Xingyu��s saber intent, forming into one entity!


    Everyone��s countenance changed visibly.


    Under the coercion of this saber intent, they actually fell back without prior agreement.


    They could not withstand this saber intent!


    Even He Yunxiang and Di Xing could not withstand it either!


    He Yunxiang��s face was first shocked, following that was a bitter smile.


    ��I didn��t expect that in ten years, his life and death saber intent has actually already been perfected to this point! It��s already akin to heaven and earth between me and him! Looks like I gambled wrongly this time!�� He Yunxiang said with a bitter smile.


    Di Xing said in shock, ��Didn��t expect that Changsun Xingyu��s talent was so strong! Looks like even if that boy has hidden means, it��s also impossible to be his match anymore. Let alone that Changsun Xingyu is a minor realm higher than him!��


    He Yunxiang had a firm look as he said, ��If he doesn��t make a move within three steps, he won��t have the chance to make a move any longer! With this saber cut, he��ll definitely die!��


    Di Xing nodded slightly, expressing his approval.


    Because Changsun Xingyu was accumulating momentum!


    Once the saber momentum was formed, it would be a heaven exterminating power!


    Ye Yuan absolutely could not stop it!


    While talking, Changsun Xingyu took another step. The saber intent rose again!


    This rise directly doubled!


    Under this saber intent��s oppression, everyone retreated again and again!


    Everyone��s faces became incomparably solemn.


    Only Ye Yuan remained unmoving!


    He did not seem to feel this saber intent and did not have the intention of using his sword. He just looked at Changsun Xingyu quietly like this.


    He Yunxiang shook his head and said, ��This boy is still lacking in knowledge and experience in the end! Not making a move at this time, he won��t have the chance to make a move any longer!��


    Di Xing said, ��Fool, what is this guy thinking in his head? Not making a move at this time, is he going to wait until his saber momentum is achieved, then take action?��


    Changsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan and said with a faint smile, ��Boy, your composure is pretty good! But if I take this final step, you won��t have the chance to live anymore! Are you sure that you want to wait?��


    He was extremely confident in his saber momentum. Although he did not plan on using his full strength, the saber momentum of three steps was sufficient to kill Ye Yuan!


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he just smiled faintly and said, ��If I don��t let you posture to your heart��s content, you won��t feel satisfied too! Bring it on!��


    Changsun Xingyu��s face turned black and killing intent immediately arose!


    This boy was not looking for abuse in an ordinary way!


    Even He Yunxiang they all were also stunned.


    Witnessing Changsun Xingyu��s heaven-defying combat power, this guy could still be so cheeky?


    Could it be that he really had some reliance?


    But, thinking about it, He Yunxiang still denied this notion.


    Changsun Xingyu��s success was not just the countless times of life and death fights, his talent itself was also extremely monstrous, that was how he had today��s achievements.


    And Ye Yuan should be the talented type of powerhouse.


    Compared to fighting, Changsun Xingyu shook him off by more than ten streets!


    Therefore, even if the two were similarly talented, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to be Changsun Xingyu��s match too!


    Just as everyone was shocked at Ye Yuan��s ignorance, Changsun Xingyu took the third step!


    This third step, it doubled the momentum again on the foundation of the second step!


    The saber intent at this time had already condensed until it was corporeal, fearsome until it made people��s heads tingle.


    Changsun Xingyu gave a cold snort and said, ��Brat, today, I��ll use my saber to tell you that the price of wild arrogance is death!��


    Finished saying, Changsun Xingyu took out a saber from god knows where, and a saber cut left!


    This saber cut was silent!


    Everything seemed to be at a standstill!


    Everyone only felt a life and death samsara intent, lingering in their hearts.


    Although this saber intent was not directed at him, they were all greatly affected.


    As if they had died and lived again, lived and died again.


    That horror of pacing back and forth between life and death almost made them asphyxiate.


    And the Ye Yuan who was in the center of the storm, the pressure that he was enduring could be imagined.


    However, in the instant that Changsun Xingyu unleashed his saber, there was finally a change on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Universe �� Sword Formation!��


    Three power of rules instantly hovered beside Ye Yuan.


    Rays of sword light became illusory.


    It turned into a domain around Ye Yuan!


    Not sword intent, but a sword formation that condensed and formed after three kinds of power of rules fused.


    Changsun Xingyu was currently being pleased with himself. When he saw this change, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    But at this time, it was already too late to pull back the saber momentum.


    He was not prepared to pull back the saber too!


    Boom!


    The life and death saber intent erupted with tremendous energy when it faced off against the Universe Sword Formation, directly sending everyone flying out.


    Many people were even crushed into meat paste by the sword intent and saber intent that scattered flying everywhere.


    This strike was utterly fearsome!


    Ye Yuan and Changsun Xingyu each fell back several dozen steps before barely managing to stabilize their figures.


    The two people were evenly-matched!


    Changsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked face as he exclaimed in surprise, ��Sword Dao rule! Spatial rule! Formation Dao rule! Boy, you concealed so deeply!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��It��s not that I concealed deeply, but that no one could force my full strength out. You��re not bad. You did it. But you can��t continue posturing anymore. What a shame. You failed to harm me. Therefore, I don��t plan on leaving you with an intact corpse anymore either!��


    Changsun Xingyu��s expression turned dark, his eyes full of coldness.


    Shock was written all over the faces of He Yunxiang and the others!


    No one expected that the strength that Ye Yuan concealed was actually this strong!

 Chapter 2603 - Limit State!

    ��How is this possible? He �� He comprehended three rules too!��


    ��Three kinds of rules! Among them even included spatial rule, this kind of heaven-defying rule!��


    ��Sword, space, formation, three great rules fusing into one; it��s only stronger and not weaker when compared to Changsun Xingyu��s three rules!��


    �� ��


    Resplendent Sun City��s powerhouses fell into deep shock at this time.


    Ye Yuan��s trump card was really formidable until it gave people chills.


    Changsun Xingyu fusing life and death rules into his saber intent was already one-in-a-million.


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan was even more freakish, to actually fuse spatial rule and Formation Dao rule into Sword Dao!


    This kind of talent was simply defying the heavens!


    They finally understood why Ye Yuan was so calm. He really had the capital to be composed.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Spatial rule, just comprehending it is already extremely difficult, he can actually �� fuse it into Sword Dao?��


    He Yunxiang��s face was full of shock, almost not daring to believe everything that he saw in front of him.


    He expected that Ye Yuan had hidden strength. But, in his view, even if he hid his strength, it was impossible to be Changsun Xingyu��s match too.


    After all, being able to cultivate life and death rules to Changsun Xingyu��s level of boundary was too rare.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan was even more heaven-defying than Changsun Xingyu!


    Only at this time did he know that he already overestimated Ye Yuan as much as possible before, but it was still not enough!


    He Yunxiang could not help secretly somewhat rejoicing in his heart.


    If he really provoked Ye Yuan back then, then the one who was dead would be him.


    Beside him, Di Xing had a blank look too as he murmured, ��Old He, I owe you a big favor this time! Otherwise, I fear that I��d already become a corpse!��


    Changsun Xingyu could not help feeling a fiery burn on his face.


    He boasted too much earlier. Now, he really could not quite get off the stage.


    What I��ll only unleash one saber cut!


    What I��ll leave you with an intact corpse!


    Looking at it now, it was really a joke!


    Changsun Xingyu was not a fool, he guessed that Ye Yuan had some reliance too.


    But he completely did not think that Ye Yuan��s trump card was actually so heaven-defying!


    Turning angry from embarrassment, his fury already billowed straight to the sky.


    ��Heh, very good! I didn��t expect that there��s actually still someone who dares to make fun of me, Changsun Xingyu! Do you think that by fusing three kinds of power of rules, you can be invincible under the heavens? Then I��ll tell you today, where the might of the Land of Exile lies!��


    Boom!


    Under his fury, Changsun Xingyu��s saber intent climbed to a new level!


    Previously, he had the intention of humiliating Ye Yuan. So it looked scary, but actually, he did not use his full strength.


    Now, he exerted at least 80% of his strength in one go!


    This saber slashing over, it was domineering!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, the Universe Sword Formation directly greeted it!


    Looking down on the opponent tactically, showing regard to your opponent strategically.


    Ye Yuan was still very cautious about Changsun Xingyu.


    This guy was one of the few guys who could arouse his fighting intent.


    In the same realm, there were not many people who could fuse three great power of rules the same as him!


    Furthermore, in the outside world, even if the opponent fused three kinds of power of rules, they were most likely not his match too.


    But this place was the Land of Exile!


    Each of the powerhouses here was veterans of a hundred battles!


    Their fighting instinct was powerful to the extreme!


    Let alone that Changsun Xingyu��s cultivation realm was even higher than his.


    Such an opponent was precisely what Ye Yuan longed for!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two people came and went, each blow was astonishing.


    With lessons learned from the past, the powerhouses of Resplendent Sun City long already avoided far away, fearful of being affected.


    Changsun Xingyu was indeed worthy of being Resplendent Sun City��s number one person, each of his moves was stronger than the last!


    Life and death saber intent, life with one thought, death with one thought!


    Life and death were governed by him.


    Furthermore, his saber technique was not like those greenhouse flower saber techniques, it could be said that each saber cut was deadly!


    Changsun Xingyu��s saber technique was not the slightest bit sloppy, each saber cut was brilliant to the max!


    His saber only had one objective, which was to kill!


    The first few saber cuts, Ye Yuan could still barely manage to hold out.


    But the more towards the back, the pressure that Ye Yuan withstood grew greater and greater. The entire sword formation even showed signs of being hacked apart.


    After ten saber cuts, Ye Yuan already sustained considerable injuries!


    His Universe Sword Formation was challenged by a powerhouse of the same rank for the first time!


    ��Brat, why did you become a mute? Weren��t you very arrogant just now? Not leaving me an intact corpse, with just the likes of you?�� Changsun Xingyu laughed wildly as he said.


    He was genuinely enraged by Ye Yuan��s words.


    At this time, he only wanted to doom Ye Yuan to death.


    Although Ye Yuan��s Universe Sword Formation had no weakness to exploit, under this kind of powerful attack, Ye Yuan��s innards were injured!


    He had a stifled breath blocked at his throat area and was naturally unable to talk.


    Actually, when Ye Yuan fused fast and slow Sword Dao, the Universe Sword Formation��s power already increased greatly.


    As far as power of rule was concerned, he was only stronger and not weaker than Changsun Xingyu.


    But this kind of might was still inadequate to make up for the gap in cultivation realm!


    Under this kind of limit state, even a tiny difference in cultivation realm was fatal.


    Seeing this scene, He Yunxiang could not help shaking his head and sighing as he said, ��What a shame! If Ye Yuan could reach grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Changsun Xingyu would definitely be defeated! This gap of a minor cultivation realm is fatal!��


    Di Xing said, ��This boy was too hasty! Who among the Land of Exile��s top powerhouses aren��t grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum? This guy came to challenge with the gap of a minor cultivation realm; it��s really courting death!��


    He Yunxiang smiled bitterly and said, ��This boy��s talent is really strong! It��s just a pity that he��s too young and aggressive! He still understands too little about the Land of Exile��s cruelty!��


    The other people��s thoughts were pretty much the same as He Yunxiang��s.


    They were all lamenting that Ye Yuan should not have been so cocky to show off.


    The talent made them jump in fright.


    But the final outcome could not be changed.


    In this place, defeat was death!


    Ye Yuan did not care about other people��s views, this was precisely the state that he wanted!


    At this time, he was already not holding back at all!


    All of his strength had already been brought out, without any trump cards left.


    He was already backed into a corner.


    Of course, he had poison in his hands and could easily kill Changsun Xingyu.


    But Changsun Xingyu��s attacks grew greater than the previous wave. Ye Yuan did not have the chance to use poison at all.


    This kind of battle with extremely close strength, even if there was the slightest diverting of attention, it would be fatal.


    Therefore, he could only break through!


    Under this kind of limit state, not breaking through would be death!


    The current Changsun Xingyu was just like the Ye Yuan inside the Death Cultivation Space back then.


    It was just that that mirror image was dead.


    But Changsun Xingyu was alive!


    No matter how transcendent the mirror image mimicked, it was also impossible to fully replicate a person��s consciousness.


    In terms of changes, he was not as good as Ye Yuan in the end.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan won every time.


    However, Changsun Xingyu would not give Ye Yuan any chance.


    The situation at present was even more perilous than at that time!


    But Ye Yuan gladly endured the hardship!


    He had always been a mad man. Refining pills was like so, cultivating the martial path was the same.


    Under Changsun Xingyu��s frenzied suppression, every cell in Ye Yuan��s body was activated.


    His entire being entered a mysterious realm!

 Chapter 2604 - Great Dao Transformation!

    ��Between Life and Death!��


    Boom!


    A domineering saber fell down, Ye Yuan was slammed heavily onto the ground.


    Although his saber could not breach Ye Yuan��s defense, it already shocked Ye Yuan until he was seriously injured.


    At this rate, Ye Yuan��s defeat was only a matter of time.


    Changsun Xingyu��s aura was somewhat chaotic. Wanting to break Ye Yuan��s tortoiseshell, he had to go all out too.


    But, seeing Ye Yuan getting abused, his dignity was finally recovered.


    Felt awesome!


    ��Brat, weren��t you very arrogant? Didn��t you want to leave me with an intact corpse? Just based on your wretched appearance currently, you want to defeat me?�� Changsun Xingyu looked at Ye Yuan and said full of delight.


    He raised his saber again, killing intent piercing cold as he said, ��This saber cut is my strongest saber cut! It��s called Illusory Clutch, and I��ll use it to send you on your way!��


    Carrying the pinnacle saber intent, Changsun Xingyu rushed over again.


    When this saber attacked, everyone��s countenance changed.


    This was not an ordinary saber cut, this was a saber cut when Changsun Xingyu��s saber momentum had accumulated to the peak.


    This saber cut was the great achievement of his rule comprehension!


    The several dozen cuts previously were all just accumulations.


    This saber cut was the fatal blow!


    Everyone realized that Ye Yuan��s ��tortoise shell�� was about to be broken!


    He Yunxiang shook his head slightly and said, ��The difference of a margin, separated by life and death! This saber cut, it should end the battle!��


    Everyone nodded one after another, expressing approval.


    No one thought that Ye Yuan could still survive under this saber cut.


    This one saber cut, it would definitely split a person into two!


    A hint of cruelty hung at the corner of Changsun Xingyu��s mouth, arriving in front of Ye Yuan in an instant.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s Universe Sword Formation suddenly withdrew, disappearing.


    Changsun Xingyu was stunned. This guy gave up?


    However, he did not hesitate!


    When he unleashed his saber, he would not hesitate!


    No one realized that a young sprout was currently breaking out of the soil in front of Ye Yuan.


    The bud grew very quickly, growing two tender green tree leaves that were very lifelike.


    Seemingly sensing Changsun Xingyu��s piercing cold saber intent, one of the green leaves on the sapling actually turned into a sharp sword and stabbed toward Changsun Xingyu!


    Boom!


    Changsun Xingyu was caught off-guard, only to feel a sword intent that could pierce through the firmament shattered his saber intent and penetrate his body!


    ��Pffft!��


    Changsun Xingyu spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure shooting out backward.


    This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.


    Changsun Xingyu��s certain-kill saber cut was actually broken just like that?


    ��This �� What��s going on here? That tiny sprout actually defeated Changsun Xingyu��s strongest attack?��


    ��This guy is too monstrous! At this point, he actually still has a hidden trump card?��


    ��Are you freaking dumb? That boy clearly comprehended it in the middle of the fight! Really monstrous!��


    �� ��


    Just a second ago, no one felt that Ye Yuan could survive under Changsun Xingyu��s saber.


    But in a blink, Changsun Xingyu was actually defeated!


    They could tell that just based on the power of that strike, Changsun Xingyu already no longer had the power to fight!


    The few dozen saber cuts that he hacked Ye Yuan with before were not as strong when compared to this sword of Ye Yuan��s.


    It was just that they were very surprised. This sword intent transformed into a tiny sprout. So why would it have such formidable power?


    Changsun Xingyu landed on the ground with a loud bang, the frenzied sword intent wreaked havoc within his body.


    It was just that he could not care about the injuries on his body. Seeing that young sprout in front of Ye Yuan, he was inexplicably shocked!


    ��Great Dao Transformation! You �� You actually comprehended Great Dao Transformation!�� Changsun Xingyu roared wildly[1].


    ��Yeah. If not for your pressure, my rule fusion would not have been able to achieve the realm of grand completion yet; naturally let alone talk about breaking the cocoon to become a butterfly, Great Dao taking form!�� Ye Yuan wiped the bloodstains at the corners of his mouth and said with a faint smile.


    Sure enough, under the heavy pressure, he finally still broke through.


    Being in the state of life and death, it was easier for people to comprehend certain Great Dao maxims.


    Ye Yuan was like that, the powerhouses of this Land of Exile were similarly like so.


    It was just that each person��s talent was different; their speed of comprehension and limit were naturally different too.


    Changsun Xingyu��s talent was strong. He could perfectly fuse Life and Death Great Dao into his saber intent.


    But Ye Yuan��s talent was even stronger than Changsun Xingyu��s!


    After his three power of rules was perfected, reaching the realm of harmony and resonance, it broke the cocoon and became a butterfly in the end, comprehending Great Dao Transformation!


    ��What the hell is Great Dao Transformation?�� Everyone was puzzled.


    He Yunxiang also had an extremely shocked expression on his face as he said, ��Great Dao Transformation is the high-level form of the power of rules! Perfectly fusing the Heavenly Dao that you comprehended into the power of rules, exhibiting Great Dao in some form. This is Great Dao Transformation! You can understand it as the power of rules borrowing the power of Heavenly Dao to release! The power is boundless!��


    When everyone heard that, they were incredibly shocked.


    The high-level form of the power of rules!


    Hearing these few words, they gave a sophisticated and top-grade impression when one heard them!


    And they saw the power too.


    A young sprout that was seemingly too weak to stand up to a breeze defeated Changsun Xingyu, this supreme powerhouse!


    He Yunxiang sucked in a deep breath and said, ��Great Dao Transformation, the form varies! Some transform into true spirits, some transform into plants, some transform into celestial phenomena, so on and so forth! Their power is also different! But, even the lousiest Great Dao Transformation, would crush same rank powerhouses too! If not for Changsun Xingyu being too strong and also a minor realm higher than Ye Yuan, he would likely have already been torn limb from limb with that attack just now!��


    Everyone sucked in a cold breath when they heard it.


    No one could have thought that this tiny little sprout was actually so terrifying!


    Finally, He Yunxiang��s eyes shot out rays of brilliance as he said, ��However, I feel that Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation is very strong!��


    Even Great Dao Transformation had distinctions of superiority and inferiority too.


    Some people transformed into a fierce tiger, seemingly fierce. But their growth ability was actually limited.


    While some people transformed into a true dragon, their growth potential was naturally more than a level stronger.


    But Ye Yuan only transformed a tiny stalk of a young sapling, looking too weak to stand up to a breeze, but it was unbelievably strong.


    One had to know, Changsun Xingyu was not an ordinary opponent!


    His comprehension of the power of rules was only a step away from Great Dao Transformation too!


    Cultivation realm plus the power of rule, Changsun Xingyu had practically already reached the limit of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    But Ye Yuan was a minor realm lower than him.


    Even if he comprehended Great Dao Transformation, it would be easy to defeat him.


    But killing him would not be easy.


    However, He Yunxiang saw it clearly.


    This blow of Ye Yuan just now did not use his full strength at all!


    He only utilized one green leaf and completely defeated Changsun Xingyu!


    Then, if he unleashed two green leaves?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said, ��In order to thank you for helping me to comprehend Great Dao Transformation, as well as to fulfill my promise previously, I��ll let you experience the strongest strike of the first form of the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree of the Universe��s first form before you die!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s expressions turned somber.


    Changsun Xingyu��s eyes revealed an even more desperate expression. He urged his movement technique, turning into an arrow that left the bowstring, attempting to escape.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan urged the young sprout. Two green leaves shot out in unison!


    Puchi!


    Changsun Xingyu was directly cut into three pieces!


    [1] Strictly speaking, a more literal translation will be Great Dao Taking Form. But it doesn��t flow as smoothly as Great Dao Transformation.

 Chapter 2605 - Three Years

    The invincible Changsun Xingyu was killed just like this.


    It was unexpected but also reasonable.


    When Ye Yuan comprehended Great Dao Transformation, Changsun Xingyu��s demise had already become inevitable.


    In the Land of Exile, a king being replaced by another king, this was the norm.


    It was just that Changsun Xingyu��s talent was outstanding. That was how he suppressed the others for many years.


    Originally, with Changsun Xingyu��s talent and strength, there should have been no one who could replace him unless he ascended to the next level.


    But Ye Yuan this freak appeared.


    Gaining enlightenment on Dao at the last moment, he slayed Xingyu with his sword!


    He Yunxiang and Di Xing led everyone and said respectfully, ��He Yunxiang leads everyone to pay respect to City Lord, Your Excellency!��


    Ye Yuan��s aura was very chaotic, but his imposing aura rose to the peak at this time.


    Even if he was in poor condition, no one dared to make a move against him too.


    One battle, stabilizing heaven and earth!


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said coolly, ��From today onward, I��ll go into closed-seclusion. All of Resplendent Sun City��s affairs will be managed by you. Everything else, maintain the status quo!��


    He Yunxiang was not surprised at all, hurriedly bowing to say yes.


    These three days of battle definitely benefited Ye Yuan immensely.


    At this time, he naturally had to enter closed-seclusion to consolidate.


    Ye Yuan threw He Yunxiang a jade slip and said, ��Help me collect the heavenly medicines according to the list inside. One year later, there will naturally be your benefits.��


    He Yunxiang received the jade slip to take a look and could not help drawing a cold breath as he said in shock, ��Hiss �� imperial grade heavenly pills! Your Excellency can actually refine heavenly imperial pills?��


    Ye Yuan was also rather surprised as he said, ��You actually know about heavenly imperial pills?��


    He Yunxiang smiled bitterly and said, ��Before this lowly one ascended, I was an alchemist too! After ascending to the 33 Heavens, I��d once tried to become a heavenly alchemist too! It��s just a pity that this lowly one��s affinity is too poor and couldn��t become a heavenly alchemist. However, this lowly one more or less studied heavenly pills a little too, these heavenly medicines that Your Excellency is looking for are very precious, only heavenly imperial pills will use them! No wonder Your Excellency is so heaven-defying, I presume that Your Excellency must be of an extremely high grade pre-natal Dao physique!��


    In his view, for Ye Yuan to be able to refine heavenly imperial pills, his affinity should at least be 70 and above!


    Among ascenders, this was absolutely heaven-defying among heaven-defying.


    This kind of monstrousness, it was not strange that he had such comprehension ability.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect really picked up a treasure!


    But when Ye Yuan heard that, he smiled meaningfully and said, ��Pre-natal Dao physique? Huhu �� I��m merely of a mortal physique. That��s all.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan turned around and left, leaving behind the He Yunxiang with a stupefied face.


    ��Mortal physique! A mortal physique can refine heavenly imperial pills? A mortal physique can comprehend Great Dao Transformation? He �� He��s joking, right?�� He Yunxiang said with a look of shock.


    �� ��


    These few days of continuous tough battles, Ye Yuan had indeed benefited a great deal and needed time to digest.


    Even this All-Encompassing Sacred Tree of the Universe, Ye Yuan needed to perfect it carefully.


    This transformation was obtained by chance under Ye Yuan��s sudden enlightenment.


    When he killed Changsun Xingyu, it was not perfected.


    After perfecting it, killing Changsun Xingyu would merely be a matter of snapping his fingers.


    In addition, the heavenly medicines that he made He Yunxiang collect, were medicinal materials to refine the Yu Qi Dust Cleansing Heavenly Imperial Pill.


    He planned to use this heavenly imperial pill to assault grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    One year later, Ye Yuan thoroughly perfected the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree of the Universe��s first form. Its power was much stronger compared to before!


    If he ran into Changsun Xingyu again now, Ye Yuan would be able to kill him with a wave of his hand.


    However, the complexity of this Great Dao Transformation also far exceeded Ye Yuan��s imagination.


    Although the first form was just a young sprout, the complexity of this move was far from comparable to that of a Universe Sword Formation.


    Integrating the power of Great Dao, this was the power of heaven!


    The high-level form of the power of rules was not a boast!


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan��s comprehension ability was exceedingly high. He polished it carefully for a year before completely perfecting this move.


    With regards to this speed, Ye Yuan found it a bit slow.


    But if he let the people who had similarly comprehended Great Dao Transformation know, they would definitely drown him in spit.


    To comprehend Great Dao Transformation, ordinary martial artists needed to spend several decades, even hundreds of years before they could completely perfect it.


    Ye Yuan only used one year and actually still found it too slow.


    One year later, Ye Yuan spent another two years, focusing on assaulting grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    He refined all of these White Pine Melody into Yu Qi Dust Cleansing Heavenly Imperial Pills.


    Under the revolution of the Wordless Heavenly Skill, he was finally still successful in assaulting.


    Using so many grand completion ninth grade heavenly imperial pills to assault cultivation realm, probably only Ye Yuan could do it.


    If this matter were to spread, it naturally could not avoid drawing hatred.


    The medicinal effects of heavenly imperial pills were not worse than grade two heavenly pills!


    This Wordless Heavenly Skill was well-deserving of being a cultivation method that could let Jadetrue Heavenly Sect overlook Rainclear Continent proudly, it was indeed very strong.


    Heavenly imperial pills coupled with the Wordless Heavenly Skill were truly a perfect match!


    Ye Yuan only used two years and succeeded in assaulting.


    Furthermore, his foundation was incomparably solid and could assault Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum at any time!


    Ye Yuan��s chaos world also shone with a flourishing vitality.


    Exiting seclusion in three years gave He Yunxiang and the others a huge fright.


    They thought that Ye Yuan needed to go into a retreat for at least a decade or two. Did not expect that he exited seclusion so quickly.


    ��Congratulations to Your Excellency for breaking through to grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum! It��s just �� doesn��t Your Excellency plan on perfecting Great Dao Transformation?�� He Yunxiang asked doubtfully.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, ��It was already perfected two years ago. Since it��s already comprehended, how can perfecting it be so troublesome?��


    He Yunxiang, Di Xing, and the rest opened their mouths wide, their faces being pale.


    This lord was truly a god!


    Ye Yuan casually threw to He Yunxiang few people each a Yu Qi Dust Cleansing Heavenly Imperial Pill and said indifferently, ��These few heavenly imperial pills will be bestowed to you guys. Eat it and break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum! In a place like the Land of Exile, one will either advance or regress. Staying here, you guys will be dead sooner or later!��


    He Yunxiang took a look after he got it and almost threw the medicinal pill onto the ground.


    ��G-Grand completion ninth grade! Your Excellency, you �� you aren��t joking, right?�� He Yunxiang stammered.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Do you think that I��m joking with you?��


    He Yunxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, ��No, no, no! Your Excellency is mistaken! This lowly one is just surprised that Your Excellency can actually refine grand completion ninth grade heavenly imperial pills with your mortal physique! It��s simply too amazing! This medicinal pill, probably even grade four heavenly alchemists might not be able to refine it!��


    He Yunxiang discovered that this City Lord��s alchemy path talent was actually even more terrifying than his martial path talent!


    Martial path, with Ye Yuan��s current strength, he could at most kill a lower Greater Sublime Heaven, that was all.


    But in alchemy, he could cross three major realms and instantly kill grade four heavenly alchemists!


    This level of strength already could not be described using the word monstrous!


    What was even more terrifying was that His Excellency said that he was only of a mortal physique!


    Mortal physique!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Who said that mortal physiques can��t refine pills? Some things, it��s just that your skill level is lacking; that��s all! Oh, right, help me issue challenge letters to the other nine cities�� city lords. From tomorrow onward, I��m going to challenge the nine cities�� city lords!��


    The moment He Yunxiang heard, he smiled bitterly and said, ��Your Excellency, I��m afraid that �� this can��t go according to your wishes!��

 Chapter 2606 - Holy Mountain

    ��Mn? Why is that?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Just issuing a letter of challenge, why could it not go as he wished?


    He Yunxiang smiled bitterly and said, ��Your Excellency, during these three years that you were in closed-seclusion, the other nine cities already had six city lords who ascended to the second level. Right now, in this first level, there are only three of the original ten great city lords left.��


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help being stunned and said, ��They didn��t ascend for so many years. Then why did they �� Eh? It wouldn��t be because of me, right?��


    He Yunxiang nodded and said, ��Who else can it be if not you? Your battle with Changsun Xingyu was too shocking. It spread throughout the ten cities very quickly. The city lords of Qing Liang and Bi Xia, these two cities, chose to ascend within three months. The other six city lords also ascended one after another within two years.��


    Nobody was a fool; let alone these supreme powerhouses who were standing at the summit of the first level.


    Ye Yuan made Changsun Xingyu the first target of attack. He was bound to challenge them later.


    This battle was too shocking. They did not wish to become Ye Yuan��s whetting stone.


    This kind of pinnacle battle, a moment of carelessness and it was the outcome of perishing and Dao dissipating.


    Although these city lords were exceptionally talented individuals and did not fear fighting to the death either, they also know how to pursue good fortune and avoid disasters.


    No one would go and choose to fight to the death under the circumstances that they knew they would definitely die.


    That was an old person eating arsenic; courting death!


    Therefore, they chose to ascend.


    Can��t provoke, I can hide!


    Of course, you could ascend too.


    But reaching the second level, the opponents you would be facing would plenty. You naturally would not come and pester the few of us.


    Actually, these overlords not ascending was also not completely because they wanted to live the life of being a local despot.


    They were accumulating strength. Only by ascending with sufficient strength could they live better after reaching the next level and also walk even further.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched and he said, ��Aren��t there still three city lords? Since they haven��t ascended yet, then they can��t be wasted too. Go and issue the challenge letters.��


    He Yunxiang smiled bitterly again and said, ��That won��t work either! Fu Guang, An Yun, and Lan Ling, three cities�� city lords have already arrived at Resplendent Sun City half a year ago, to express surrender to Your Excellency! Apart from this, the other six cities�� new city lords are also all in the city.��


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes, this bunch of grandsons really did not give any chance at all!


    One would not hit a smiling face!


    With Ye Yuan��s personality, since the other party took the initiative to submit, he really could not find it in him to take action anymore.


    However, Ye Yuan also understood that the Land of Exile was such a realistic place.


    If you were strong, you could bring everything to its knees!


    Helpless, he waved his hand and said, ��Since that��s the case, bring them over then.��


    �� ��


    ��Fu Guang��s lord, Lin Tong, pays respects to Lord Ye Yuan!��


    ��An Yun��s lord, Wei Xiang, pays respects to Lord Ye Yuan!��


    ��Lan Ling��s lord, Xu Weiqing, pays respects to Lord Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    With Fu Guang three cities�� city lords leading, the other city lords stepped forward in unison to pay respects.


    This also symbolized that Ye Yuan had completely compelled the Land of Exile��s first level into submission!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across everyone and discovered that Lin Tong three people faintly exuded an extremely strong aura. It was even a notch above Changsun Xingyu.


    He could not help being a little surprised and said, ��I originally thought that the three of you should be the weakest among the nine great city lords. Looking at it now �� it doesn��t seem to be the case!��


    Lin Tong stepped out of the ranks and said with a bow, ��What Your Excellency said is true! The three of us were ranked top three among the original ten great city lords! And Changsun Xingyu was ranked fourth!��


    This ranking, only the ten great city lords themselves knew.


    Now, Lin Tong saying it in public still surprised everyone greatly.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he became curious and asked, ��Since that��s the case, then why didn��t you guys ascend but come to submit to me?��


    Lin Tong said respectfully, ��Your Excellency gained enlightenment on Greater Sublime Transformation. Now, you also broke through to grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, we��re naturally not a match. But ascending just like this, we have unwillingness in our hearts too.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��You guys also want to comprehend Great Dao Transformation?��


    Lin Tong did not shy away and said with a nod, ��That��s right! The reason we, the original ten great city lords, had a Dao debate every year, was in order to break through the shackles and comprehend Great Dao Transformation! With Your Excellency��s talent, you should know the logic of the stronger the foundation, the greater the potential. Therefore, unless there were no alternatives, we didn��t want to ascend. Unless, we��re already sure that our talents have already been exhausted!��


    With regards to this statement, Ye Yuan naturally approved of it.


    Lin Tong three people came to submit while bearing humiliation and were also not willing to ascend. This proved precisely that the three of their martial path hearts were very firm.


    However, Lin Tong��s words let Ye Yuan thought of another possibility.


    This Land of Exile��s city lords changed very fast.


    There would always be people like Lin Tong three people who also wanted to consolidate their realms in Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum as much as possible and feel Great Dao rules.


    Could it be there was actually not a single one who comprehended Great Dao Transformation after so many years?


    This was unlikely!


    Ye Yuan did not doubt that his talent was high, but he similarly did not think that others were losers.


    Especially in the Land of Exile this sort of place, some people had it forced out by force.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan asked hopefully, ��Then in this first level, are there still powerhouses who comprehended Great Dao Transformation?��


    Lin Tong said, ��Of course there are! In fact, there are quite a few!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could not help being overjoyed, thinking to himself that it was indeed the case!


    ��Oh? Where? Tell me!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Lin Tong said, ��There��s a snow-capped mountain in the land of extreme north called Xianyun Mountain. It��s the Land of Exile��s first level��s holy land! Only powerhouses who gained enlightenment on Great Dao Transformation are allowed to step into this mountain!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered slightly and he said, ��So, you guys stayed, in order to enter the Xianyun Mountain?��


    Lin Tong nodded slightly and answered, ��Your Excellency is wise. It��s precisely so!��


    The other six city lords were all rendered speechless. Only now they learned that the first level actually still had such a place!


    And what the city lords assiduously seek, was this kind of supreme realm!


    What was laughable was that they were all a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well; that was all!


    But when Ye Yuan heard, he was overjoyed and said, ��Then what are we still waiting for! Lead the way!��


    Lin Tong three people were taken aback and said, ��Your Excellency, we��ve never comprehended Great Dao Transformation and can��t enter the Holy Mountain. Violators will be killed without mercy!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��If I said that you can go, you can go! Whatever bullshit Holy Mountain, it��s merely a bunch of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums; that��s all! If they know what��s good for them, fine. If they don��t know how to appreciate favors, I��ll exterminate their whole mountain! See if that lousy mountain still dares to call itself Holy Mountain or not!��


    Ye Yuan could not bear the sight of this kind of trickery the most. It was clearly just a bunch of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums, yet they wanted to feign an appearance of standing high above the masses.


    Who were they scaring!


    He, Ye Yuan, had virtually paralyzed the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. Wouldn��t dealing with a bunch of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums be easily accomplished?


    Posturing in front of him, at least in this first level, there was definitely no one who could do it!


    When Lin Tong three people heard that, they were immediately rendered dumbfounded.


    This guy was so wildly arrogant!


    How did such a person survive until now?


    One had to know, some of those Great Dao Transformation individuals on Xianyun Mountain had already stayed for as long as several thousand years, with their strength being unfathomable.


    This guy actually completely did not place the Xianyun Mountain in his eyes!

 Chapter 2607 - Yes, I’m Very Powerful!

    On top of the mountain, snow gleamed white, with floating clouds coiling, akin to a wonderland.


    The party arrived at Xianyun Mountain, which was also at the foot of the Holy Mountain.


    ��The Land of Exile indeed has talented people remaining in concealment. I didn��t expect that there��s still such a formation path expert!�� Ye Yuan suddenly stopped and said with a faint smile.


    In front of him was a huge array formation, interlinked and connected.


    Not only was Ye Yuan��s Formation Dao already perfected, it even transformed into the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree now. Just slightly trying to feel it and he already detected it.


    His All-Encompassing Sacred Tree was not transformed from the path of Sword Dao, but the Universe Sword Formation!


    Inside the Universe Sword Formation, it contained sword, space, formation, these three Daos!


    The strength was more discernible for this kind of transformation.


    As for time rule, after Ye Yuan ascended, he had been unable to open up a new prospect all along.


    Not because his comprehension ability was lacking, but that the time rule he comprehended in the Heavenspan World was simply in disorder!


    The Heavenspan World��s flow rate of time was completely different from the 33 Heavens.


    Ye Yuan reckoned that there might be Yan Jadetrue��s work involved.


    ��Those who trespass the Holy Mountain will be killed without mercy! Get lost!��


    Right at this time, a melodious voice reverberated throughout heaven and earth, akin to heavenly thunder rolling, stirring people��s souls.


    These words seemed to be said by Heaven!


    Behind Ye Yuan, the countenances of Lin Tong and the rest changed visibly.


    ��Your Excellency, you��ve already arrived at the Holy Mountain. How about you go in alone, and those of us who haven��t achieved Great Dao Transformation withdraw for the time being?�� Lin Tong said with a slightly pale face.


    This voice seemed to be a celestial deity descending, giving him enormous pressure.


    The other few people were also the same.


    But Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, ��Already here; don��t you want to go up the mountain to take a look?��


    Lin Tong smiled bitterly and said, ��Of course I want to, but this lowly one wants to live even more.��


    ��Limit you all to quickly leave within three breaths! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself! Three!�� While talking, that voice came over again.


    The expressions of Lin Tong and the rest turned deathly pale, turning around, wanting to escape.


    ��Playing tricks! Go!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort. Holding his palm out, a tiny sprout already emerged from his palm.


    A piece of tender leaf flew out, directly striking somewhere in the void.


    ��Courting death!�� A startled and furious voice came from the void.


    But with a loud bang, a middle-aged man dressed in white robes was actually directly being shocked out, his appearance looking rather ragged.


    His gaze was fixed on Ye Yuan, with a hint of dread in the shock.


    This brat actually saw through the weak area of the array formation with one glance and shocked him out with a sword.


    Terrifying!


    While Lin Tong and the rest who were behind Ye Yuan had dumbstruck faces.


    It turned out that this guy was not empty talk!


    He was really a lunatic!


    Who would enter the Holy Mountain like this?


    However, the combat power that Ye Yuan displayed still made them incredibly shocked.


    The saints who guarded the mountain were all transformation powerhouses. Furthermore, they were even hiding in the grand array.


    Ye Yuan found him with one glance and even shocked him out with a sword.


    If it were any other transformation powerhouse, they probably would not be able to do it!


    The middle-aged man in a white robe stared at Ye Yuan as he said with an unkind expression, ��Brat, do you think that by comprehending Great Dao Transformation, you��re invincible under the heavens?��


    Ye Yuan pursed his mouth and said with a smile, ��Yeah.��


    The middle-aged man��s face turned black, almost tumbling to the ground.


    This brat really knew how to climb up the rope hand over hand!


    The middle-aged man sneered and said in a solemn voice, ��Someone who doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you know that there are several hundred transformation powerhouses on this Holy Mountain!��


    Even if Lin Tong and the rest were very knowledgeable and experienced, they were also frightened by this number.


    They thought that there were at most several dozen people on this Holy Mountain.


    They did not expect that there were actually hundreds of transformation powerhouses!


    They could not help worrying whether Ye Yuan��s action of barging into the mountain would arouse the public outrage of the transformation powerhouses.


    Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan just said coolly, ��So what if several hundred? What bullshit transformation powerhouse, aren��t you also just a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum? Do you really think that you��re some whatever bullshit saint? Where did this sense of superiority come from?��


    The middle-aged man saw that Ye Yuan was impervious to reason and could not help saying in a great rage, ��Punk, you��re courting death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Is that so? Then I want to see how you make me die!��


    He had not even spoken yet and this person was playing tricks here, telling people to scram.


    With an appearance like he was number one in the world, it would be weird if Ye Yuan��s attitude could be good.


    The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, I was just sneak attacked by you earlier. Do you really think that you��re very formidable?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said nonchalantly, ��Yes, I��m very powerful!��


    The middle-aged man gave a cold snort. Holding his palm out, a halberd condensed and formed!


    His Great Dao Transformation form was a weapon. This was also one of the most commonly seen transformation methods.


    It was only to see him smile coldly. He said, ��Boy, I��ve already reached Great Dao Transformation 50 years ago. With just the likes of you, this sort of fellow who just comprehended it, you also dare to contend for glory with the bright moon?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��Is that so? Then try receiving a sword cut of mine! Go!��


    The tender leaf turned into a light sword once more, chopping towards the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man was furious, brandishing the painted Chinese halberd in his hand, directly chopping towards the green leaf.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the two transformation weapons clashed!


    The middle-aged man spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    While Ye Yuan did not budge an inch.


    ��I-It broke!�� Lin Tong��s eyes were full of amazement.


    The halberd in the middle-aged man��s hands actually broke under this strike!


    With Great Dao Transformation, the object transformed was even tougher than material objects!


    But now, it actually broke under Ye Yuan��s one strike!


    Furthermore, the transformed object was connected to the mind of the martial artist.


    Now that it broke, the middle-aged man already suffered a great loss in vitality, suffering serious injuries.


    Most likely, without eight to ten years, he could forget about recovering his vitality!


    They had long known that Ye Yuan��s strength was extremely formidable, but this �� was also too outrageous, right?


    He had already comprehended Great Dao Transformation for 50 years, while Ye Yuan only had three years at the very most!


    Now, he actually defeated the enemy with one move!


    This was also too strong!


    Ye Yuan looked at the middle-aged man and said disdainfully, ��Just the likes of you are also called the bright moon? Over 50 years and you only cultivated this bit of strength? Go find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with. I can��t even be bothered to kill you!��


    This middle-aged man��s Great Dao Transformation was not perfect at all.


    He could not even achieve perfection it in 50 years; he was really incredibly stupid!


    Ye Yuan only used one year and perfected it.


    Furthermore, what this middle-aged man comprehended was a single rule. But what he comprehended was three great fused rules. The difficulty was not on the same level at all.


    He could not even perfect it in 50 years. He should really go find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    ��Puhwark!��


    The middle-aged man was choked badly by Ye Yuan��s words and spewed out another mouthful of old blood.


    ��The few of you, come with me!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pay attention to the middle-aged man and left leisurely, directly passing through the grand array.


    This array formation was not too complicated to him. It could be easily broken.


    However, this scene was even more shocking and inexplicable when it landed in the middle-aged man��s eyes.


    Which crevice in a rock did this boy pop out from?


    Coming to the Holy Mountain, what on earth did he want to do?


    Lin Tong and the rest had upset expressions on their faces and could only pluck up their courage and follow after.

 Chapter 2608 - Stop Making a Spectacle of Yourselves!

    Chapter 2608: Stop Making a Spectacle of Yourselves!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Whoosh!


    A bright light rose into the sky.


    The expressions of Lin Tong and the rest changed greatly, and they cried out in surprise, ��Your Excellency, that person went to report just now. Now, the entire Holy Mountain��s transformation powerhouses probably all know that we��re here!��


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��If they know, then they know; no harm!��


    The faces of Lin Tong and the rest turned black, criticizing endlessly in their hearts.


    This guy was also too bold, right?


    Even several hundred transformation powerhouses could not scare him?


    After traveling several more miles, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.


    Lin Tong and the rest were overjoyed, thinking inwardly that this guy finally had a change of mind and was going to run.


    However, Ye Yuan circled one round around the few of them and said coolly, ��The few of you, don��t leave the circle that I��ve just walked. Otherwise, don��t blame me if you die.��


    Lin Tong and the rest had baffled faces. Right at this time, six to seven figures suddenly came from all directions, surrounding Ye Yuan.


    The middle-aged man with a scar on his face who was leading, said in a solemn voice, ��Punk, to actually dare trespass the Holy Mountain, are you courting death?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I heard that there are transformation powerhouses on Xianyun Mountain. So I wanted to come and have an exchange. I didn��t expect that the person guarding the gates doesn��t know how to speak human language. So I taught him a lesson. How did it become trespassing?��


    The man��s expression changed when he heard that and exclaimed in surprise, ��What? You defeated Jiang Zhenyu?��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��Is it very strange to beat him? Or is it that it��s all the likes of him on this so-called Holy Mountain?��


    The muscles on the few people��s faces were all twitching when they heard that!


    The likes of him?


    When did transformation powerhouses become like that?


    ��Brat, don��t be arrogant! You, a sect disciple, can you really overturn the heaven on the Holy Mountain? Attack together, kill this boy!�� The man with the scar gave a cold yell and rushed up along with the people around him.


    Ye Yuan broke the grand array and defeated Jiang Zhenyu forcefully and then trespassed the mountain. The man did not dare to underestimate him.


    Hence, he directly called his companions to attack together.


    Seven to eight transformation powerhouses rushed forward together, the commotion was quite shocking.


    Some took the form of weapons, some took the form of predatory birds, and some took the form of celestial phenomena to attack!


    The terrifying power made the faces of Lin Tong and the rest who were not far away to change drastically.


    Seven to eight transformation powerhouses, they had never seen it before!


    It was just that these people��s transformations were mostly just the Great Dao Transformation of a single rule. It was too weak to stand up to a single blow in Ye Yuan��s eyes and even worse than Jiang Zhenyu.


    It was also no wonder that they would be so surprised at him defeating Jiang Zhenyu.


    Ye Yuan was rather perplexed. Since these people comprehended Great Dao Transformation, why did the perfection process be so slow?


    After he ascended, he had been studying Alchemy Dao most of his time and did not come into contact with Great Dao Transformation people.


    No need to talk about Eastward Country, there definitely was not.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect definitely had, but at least even Lu Zhanyuan that level of powerhouse did not comprehend it.


    Luo Yunqing might have comprehended it. It was just that he had never displayed it before.


    Hence, Ye Yuan did not have a clear contrast.


    He thought that since they could comprehend Great Dao Transformation, their comprehension ability naturally would not be poor.


    Even if it was not as good as his, it should also have been perfected in eight to ten years.


    In the end, Jiang Zhenyu comprehended for 50 years and did not even fully perfect it.


    Therefore, in his eyes, this bunch of people was really unbelievably trash.


    He reckoned that they hit the jackpot, that was how they comprehended Great Dao Transformation.


    Under the environment of the Land of Exile, it was not necessary to be extremely talented to break through.


    Wandering on the edge of life and death countless times, as long as one could kill their way over, even if their talent was slightly poor, they could comprehend it too.


    These people might belong to that type.


    All in all, Ye Yuan did not face much pressure dealing with the scar-man these few people.


    In fact, he did not even need to use two swords at once.


    One sword, swimming between the seven to eight people, there was plenty of room for playing the butcher��s knife.


    By the side, Lin Tong and the rest were long already dumbstruck with amazement.


    They knew that Ye Yuan was strong, but they did not expect that he was so strong!


    Fighting one-versus-eight, he was actually still overpowering the other side!


    One had to know, Ye Yuan only comprehended Great Dao Transformation for a short three years!


    Suddenly, Lin Tong��s expression changed, discovering that there were another over a dozen people flying over here swiftly.


    Those people right now were all attracted by Ye Yuan.


    Then this batch of powerhouses that came over this time would definitely make them the first target of assault!


    ��Freaking hell, fight it out!�� Xu Weiqing drew his saber and was about to fight it out to the death with this group of people.


    Lin Tong suddenly remembered Ye Yuan��s instructions and said, ��Old Xu, don��t be impulsive! His Excellency made us stay where we are. He must have some means!!��


    Xu Weiqing��s expression turned heavy and he immediately became quiet.


    They knew that Ye Yuan had a lot of methods. It was just that they could not understand just what method Ye Yuan had deployed.


    ��Humph! A bunch of outside world ants also dare to trespass the Holy Mountain? You��re really tired of living! The few of you, go and die first then!��


    An old man in a blue shirt had an extremely vigorous aura, pouncing over towards Lin Tong and the rest.


    The three people��s expressions changed greatly, immediately feeling the threat of death.


    The moment transformation was released, the imposing aura became completely different.


    Even if their cultivation realm was the same, their combat power was vastly different.


    But right at this time, the old man in blue shirt suddenly vomited blood, his body falling from midair.


    When he fell to the ground, he had actually already breathed his last!


    Lin Tong and the rest exchanged glances, all extremely shocked.


    ��He was poisoned! When did His Excellency �� use the poison?�� Xu Weiqing said with a look of shock.


    Lin Tong pondered for a moment and said, ��It should be when he walked a circle around us! What a brilliant method of poisoning, we actually didn��t detect it at all!��


    Wei Xiang smiled bitterly and said, ��Not just us! These transformation powerhouses, their sensitivity to poison is many times stronger than us! Even they are completely unaware!��


    The three people were deeply shocked inwardly.


    Only then did they understand why Ye Yuan dared to be so arrogant?


    With such means, it was simply overwhelming in this first level!


    So what if a transformation-level powerhouse?


    Killing you was as easy as blowing off the dust!


    It was just that Ye Yuan came here to temper himself, so he was disdainful to use it.


    Looking at it this way, Ye Yuan saying to slaughter all the transformation powerhouses on the mountain previously was not empty talk!


    Only with confidence did he dare to look down on them.


    Sure enough, when the others saw the blue-shirt old man��s bizarre death, each and every one of them did not dare to get close to Lin Tong and the others. They simply rushed toward Ye Yuan together.


    More than ten transformation powerhouses surrounded Ye Yuan all at once.


    Some of them, their strengths were not weak.


    Ye Yuan killed his way in and out of the crowd with one person and one sword and already severely wounded three to four people as if it was a no man��s land!


    The so-called Holy Mountain��s powerhouses were akin to toddlers learning how to walk in front of Ye Yuan; very comical.


    Without the threat of transformation powerhouses, the minds of Lin Tong and the rest also relaxed, observing the battle carefully.


    The more they watched, the more alarmed they got.


    ��His Excellency is too strong! His opponents are too trashy. They are completely not on the same level at all! Furthermore, His Excellency��s sapling has two leaves, but he only utilized one leaf. So he clearly isn��t using his full strength! Just what kind of a monster did Martial Secure Heavenly Sect produce?�� Lin Tong said in horror.


    The other two people nodded one after another in deep agreement.


    ��All withdraw, stop making a spectacle of yourselves!�� Right at this time, a voice sounded out.


    A handsome youth walked down the mountain.


    The group of transformation powerhouses stepped back one after another, their faces full of shame.

 Chapter 2609 - : Three Laws Versus Five Laws!

    The youth had red lips and white teeth and was extraordinarily handsome, like the boy-next-door.


    But when Ye Yuan saw him, he felt pressured.


    This kind of pressure was like facing Changsun Xingyu back then.


    This person was very strong!


    ��Three laws transforming, indeed formidable! You all didn��t lose in vain! I didn��t expect that a genius such as yourself actually appeared in the outside world!�� The youth looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes revealing a look of appreciation.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��You��re not bad either.��


    Beside the youth, a burly man immediately scolded, ��Insolence! How are you speaking to Holy Lord, His Excellency?��


    The youth waved his hand slightly, motioning for the burly man to back down, and said coolly, ��His strength isn��t beneath Li Cheng��s! From today onwards, he��s the Holy Mountain��s Fourth Holy Lord! You all are not to be impolite!��


    The burly man was greatly alarmed and repeatedly said yes. Bowing toward Ye Yuan, he said, ��I pay respects to Holy Lord!��


    The others also had shocked expressions on their faces. No one expected that this newcomer actually became a holy lord!


    But an unwillingness to submit was clearly written on their faces. It was just that they did not dare to say anymore.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pay attention to the burly man and said to the youth, ��Oh? There are actually two powerhouses such as yourself on this mountain?��


    The youth nodded and said, ��I��m called Han Yi, the Chief Holy Lord. The Second Holy Lord is called Ji Zhe, Third Holy Lord is called Li Cheng. From now on, you��ll be the Holy Mountain��s Fourth Holy Lord!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��What bullshit holy lord, not interested! I came here to find people to spar with. Your strength is not bad. So why don��t we have a fight?��


    He had no interest in living a life of being a local despot.


    What Ye Yuan wanted was to consolidate his foundation, then break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    He did not have time to keep wasting in the Land of Exile.


    However, all the powerhouses in the mountain looked at Ye Yuan with surprise.


    This guy actually refused to be a holy lord!


    Furthermore, he even dared to be so unbridled in front of Chief Holy Lord, really courting death.


    The youth took it in stride and said smilingly, ��You��re not my match!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Haven��t fought before, how would you know?��


    The youth shook his head and said with a smile, ��You��re an extremely rare three rules transformation. But I am five laws transformation! Do you feel that you have a chance of winning?��


    Although Ye Yuan had never heard of three laws transformation, it was very easy to guess that the meaning of three laws meant three kinds of power of rules.


    He was a little surprised. This youth actually comprehended five kinds of rules at the same time?


    No wonder he could live a life of being a local despot and proclaim himself as holy lord, he indeed had some capability.


    However, Ye Yuan did not think that his own three laws were lousier than the other party!


    Sword, space, formation, three paths, they seemed as different night and day, to be as different as chalk and cheese, but Ye Yuan forcibly combined them together and it transformed and took shape.


    When these three paths reached the extreme, they could all form their own universes.


    They were absolutely top Great Daos!


    If you understood more rules, it would definitely be stronger?


    Ye Yuan never thought this way!


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��If I was sure of success, I would have killed you with one sword and be done with it. Why would I go so far as to talk nonsense with you here? It��s because there��s no certainty of winning that we have to fight! Otherwise, what��s even the point of me coming to the Land of Exile?��


    The youth looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said with a nod, ��You seem to be different from the rest! Forget it. I��ll have a battle with you today and let you know the disparity between three laws and five laws!��


    Finished saying, a lotus platform already appeared in the youth��s palm.


    There were five lotus seeds on the lotus platform!


    Clearly, each lotus seed represented a kind of power of rule!


    The moment this five-star lotus appeared, Ye Yuan felt unprecedented pressure.


    But his All-Encompassing Sacred Tree was already raring to go.


    Fear did not exist!


    This word was not in his, Ye Yuan��s, dictionary.


    The youth smiled and said, ��My transformation form is called Five-star Lotus. If you can last 30 moves under the Five-star Lotus, you��ll be Second Holy Lord from now on! Ji Zhe can only last 28 moves under my Five-star Lotus! He��s the same as you, also three laws transformation!��


    When everyone heard it, each and everyone was extremely shocked.


    Even this mountain full of transformation powerhouses was also like that.


    They only knew that the three great holy lords were not what they could compare to. But they never knew that the gap between Chief Holy Lord and Second Holy Lord was actually so great!


    Hearing these, their gazes when looking towards Ye Yuan became sympathetic.


    This boy was so arrogant, he finally ran into his match now, right?


    But Ye Yuan was disdainful and said coolly, ��Bring it on, so much nonsense! All-Encompassing Sacred Tree, go!��


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, his entire person turning into a sharp sword, flying straight for Han Yi!


    Two rays of sword light surrounded Ye Yuan��s body, overflowing with a murderous aura!


    After leaving seclusion, it was Ye Yuan��s first time unleashing both swords together!


    That power was more than a level stronger than when fighting with everyone previously.


    Everyone��s countenances changed one after another!


    Only now did the transformation powerhouses who besieged Ye Yuan previously know that they had already made a trip to gates of hell and back.


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was extremely fast, arriving in front of Han Yi in virtually a blink of an eye.


    Han Yi��s pupils constricted too, being startled by Ye Yuan��s strength!


    However, what kind of figure was Han Yi? Although he was startled, he did not panic.


    Only to see him urge his spell, the five lotus seeds flew out instantly, splitting into five directions, completely enveloping him.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan arrived!


    Boom!


    A loud noise, the two people each took several steps back!


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock!


    ��My eyesight isn��t failing, right? That boy actually fought to a draw with Chief Holy Lord?��


    ��This is impossible! How can three laws versus five laws possibly fight to a draw?��


    ��Just what the hell did this boy comprehend?��


    �� ��


    Five laws transformation, this was virtually the ultimate form of transformation.


    It could be said to be invincible!


    However, Ye Yuan actually fought to a draw against Chief Holy Lord, Han Yi��s five laws, with three laws!


    Although they only exchanged one move, Ye Yuan��s skill level was evident at a glance.


    It was not up to them to not be surprised!


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, ��Bragged too hard; I was wondering how formidable you were! Five laws are also nothing more than this!��


    The expression on Han Yi��s face finally changed!


    ��Sword, space, formation! Heh, terrific lad, I underestimated you! These three kinds of ultimate rules, you actually fused them into one, and even succeeded in transformation! Two swords, one Yin and one Yang, perfect without any flaws, how formidable! You have the qualifications to have a battle with me!��


    Although surprised, Han Yi did not turn angry from embarrassment but was faintly very excited instead.


    It was as if feeling happy to find an opponent.


    He saw through that Ye Yuan was three laws transformation with one glance. But as for the specifics, he could not tell without fighting.


    In the collision just now, he clearly felt sword, space, and formation, these three great rules. He could not help being greatly surprised.


    He naturally knew how formidable these three rules were.


    What was even scarier was that the Great Dao Transformation that this boy comprehended was the perfect form!


    Perfect form was a form with no weakness to exploit.


    Just like a world, like nature itself, without defects!


    The budding two green leaves seemed normal, but in fact, they represented the two polarities of the universe.


    The power that these two extreme forces burst forth with was unimaginable!


    Although he comprehended the five elements rule, he did not reach this realm.


    Hence, even though he comprehended five laws, his power was greatly discounted.


    Feeling the other party��s fighting intent, Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� That��s more like it! Fight again!��

 Chapter 2610 - A Rare Opponent to Encounter in One’s Lifetime!

    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two streaks of sword light and five lotus seeds, they erupted with extremely violent rumbling sounds from time to time.


    Sword light intersected; the five elements rotated. Ye Yuan was locked in a struggle with Han Yi.


    By the side, everyone was dumbfounded with amazement.


    A transformation powerhouse said in surprise, ��F*cking hell, this boy��s Great Dao Transformation has already reached the acme of perfection, still entering the Land of Exile to train my ass! This guy came in purely to abuse people, right?��


    No one thought that Ye Yuan��s combat power would actually be so fearsome!


    Chief Holy Lord Han Yi rarely took action, but they knew about Second Holy Lord and Third Holy Lord.


    The power of three laws when compared to Ye Yuan was simply heaven and earth.


    Whatever 30 moves, it seemed to be a complete joke now!


    Ye Yuan did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest facing five laws with three laws!


    Of course, Han Yi was not someone who was easy to deal with either.


    The five elements rule started running, akin to a painting scroll of heaven and earth, with a majestic and grand atmosphere, with no weakness to exploit.


    Even Ye Yuan could not find the method to crack it for some time too.


    When Lin Tong heard this, he immediately retorted, ��His Excellency didn��t comprehend Great Dao Transformation in the outside world. He just comprehended Great Dao Transformation three years ago in Resplendent Sun City.��


    When the group of transformation powerhouses heard, their eyes immediately became wide-saucers.


    ��What?! T-Three years ago? You punk, you aren��t bragging, right? Just three years and he completely perfected his Great Dao Transformation?�� That transformation powerhouse almost jumped up.


    Something that people did in three years, they could not do it even in 30 years!


    Furthermore, the completion of three laws transformation was not as easy as theirs!


    Easily several hundred years was normal too.


    But Ye Yuan only used three years?


    Freaking hell, who to reason this out with?!


    By the side, He Yunxiang��s mouth curled and he said, ��Bragging? Huhu, you probably don��t know that three years ago, His Excellency was still just an upper Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum! In these three years�� time, he probably still used a lot of time to increase his cultivation realm!��


    ��What? Upper Lesser Sublime Heaven?��


    That transformation powerhouse��s voice got louder and louder, almost overshadowing Ye Yuan two people��s fighting sounds.


    It could be seen how strong his shock currently was.


    When He Yunxiang, he was actually also in mayhem in his heart.


    Prior to this, he did not understand the world of transformation powerhouses.


    He thought that upon entering transformation, one would be a top powerhouse.


    Only all the way until Ye Yuan rampaged in all directions did he know that transformation was merely just learning the rudiments.


    One law and three laws, the difference was too great.


    Of course, three laws and five laws, the difference was likewise immense.


    Furthermore, comprehending was one thing, perfecting was another thing altogether.


    This process was extremely long, but Ye Yuan only used two years, maybe even less than two years�� time, and completed it!


    Amidst the shock of the numerous transformation powerhouses, Ye Yuan two people��s battle also entered a white-hot stage.


    The two people fought until they were locked in a struggle, truly evenly matched.


    Ye Yuan��s Great Dao was perfected and had no weakness to exploit. But it was weak in that the time spent was short; hence, it was not as strong as Han Yi.


    While Han Yi was strong, the five elements had not reached the realm of perfection.


    He was still a hair��s breadth away from five elements consummation.


    Most likely, it was also precisely because of this hair��s breadth distance, that he had been reluctant to ascend all along.


    If the foundation was not solid, when he ascended to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, this shortcoming of imperfection would become more and more of a hindrance.


    This was what he was not willing to see.


    But at this time, he was forced to the limit by Ye Yuan!


    Facing Ye Yuan��s formidable Dao of Universe, Han Yi unleashed all of his abilities.


    He could not slack off in the slightest!


    A moment of carelessness and he would be defeated!


    He had become the chief holy lord for so many years, and yet it was still his first time encountering such a formidable opponent.


    Invincible was always the loneliest.


    These few years, he yearned for an opponent too.


    But sadly, there was none!


    The realm that he had reached was too high.


    In reality, the second holy lord and third holy lord below him had already changed one batch after another.


    But he stood steadfast.


    Because those people��s potential had already been exhausted. There was already no need to cultivate anymore.


    But he was not!


    He knew that he could perfect his five elements transformation even further and greatly improve his strength.


    But sadly, he was lacking an opportunity!


    All the way until today, he discovered that this opportunity finally came!


    Ye Yuan was simply the gift that Heaven gave him!


    Under Ye Yuan��s frenzied battle, his five elements rule that had already not moved for hundreds of years finally showed signs of loosening!


    This discovery made him wildly ecstatic.


    Did he not want to ascend?


    Of course, he wanted to!


    Who would willingly be just a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum all their lives?


    But he was reluctant to submit!


    Not perfecting the five elements, he would leave behind regrets in the Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum realm.


    This regret would be magnified more and more along with the increase in cultivation realm.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    In a flash, the two people had exchanged blows no idea how many times.


    That ever-changing application of rule, the bedazzling fighting techniques, all these made the onlookers see things in a blur.


    Boom!


    No idea how long had passed either, after the two people had a violent clash, they each stopped.


    Ye Yuan and Han Yi were both panting heavily at this time, their auras chaotic, almost collapsing.


    Clearly, the two of them had unleashed their abilities to the limit.


    Then, it fell into a death-like silence on the Holy Mountain. Only the two people��s panting sounds were reverberating.


    These two people looked at each other just like that.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Suddenly, the two people started laughing loudly at the same time.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Didn��t you say 30 moves? Now, it��s been more than 3000 moves, right?��


    Han Yi laughed loudly and said, ��Alright, I admit that I postured too much! You are an opponent bestowed upon me by Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Likewise! Your five elements aren��t at the level of perfection and are precisely in need of tempering. No wonder you refused to ascend! If it were me, I wouldn��t be willing either!��


    Han Yi disregarded his image and plopped his bottom onto the ground and said, ��No choice. My power of rules reached a bottleneck, and I haven��t been able to break through all along. I can only live a life of being a local despot here.��


    Ye Yuan also sat down on the ground and said smilingly, ��So, you made a Holy Mountain to posture; so it��s in order to wait for an opponent?��


    Han Yi nodded and said, ��That��s right. But there are far too few people capable of five laws transformation, I��ve never been able to wait for an opponent that I want! Seeing that you were three laws transformation, I was disappointed in my heart.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In the end, I didn��t disappoint you, right?��


    Han Yi laughed and said, ��Disappoint? Haha, every pore on my body is being ignited right now! Oh, right, still don��t know your name, Brother!��


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    ��Okay, Ye Yuan, ten days later, fight again here!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Just so!��


    Finished saying, Han Yi got to his feet and went straight up the mountain.


    After Ye Yuan got up, he removed the poison formation, and walked down the mountain.


    Everyone had baffled looks, these two people fought and became friends?


    ��Could this be the legendary, friends are made after a fight?��


    ��No, wait! It should be a hero valuing another hero! They really met their match!��


    ��These two people are both of peerless aptitudes; their strength is evenly-matched. Such an opponent is hard to come across in ten thousand years!��


    �� ��


    Many people gave birth to vicissitudes of emotion in their hearts.


    It was hard to meet a confidant in life, but it was even harder to meet an opponent in life!


    The logic of an expert being lonely, this was not what most people had the qualifications to experience.


    These two people finally found their match!

 Chapter 2611 - Perfection

    From this day on, the two people would undergo a great battle on Xianyun Mountain every ten days to half a month.


    After a fight, the two people would each go into a retreat to comprehend what they learned in this battle.


    Ye Yuan��s strength and Han Yi��s strength were not that much different. One could not do anything to the other.


    In each battle, the two people practically fought until they were close to collapsing.


    Both parties�� battles also had mutual wins and losses.


    In the beginning, Han Yi��s odds of winning were still a little higher.


    After all, his five laws transformation had been comprehended for a long time. His first form was also a little more mature.


    But along with the passage of time, Han Yi��s advantage was continuously being eroded by Ye Yuan.


    The two were both peerless geniuses. Under such battles where they both met their match, they made rapid progress.


    However, Ye Yuan was a notch better in the end.


    Although the two people were both improving rapidly, Ye Yuan��s improvement was clearly faster.


    Three years later, Ye Yuan and Han Yi��s victories were basically equilibrium already.


    Another three years later, Han Yi could rarely beat Ye Yuan anymore.


    Another two years passed, Han Yi could basically just take a beating.


    Nine years later, Han Yi��s first form Five-star Lotus, finally reached the realm of perfection!


    Because of this too, his strength improved greatly, suppressing Ye Yuan once again.


    Five elements not perfected and five elements perfected, was two entirely different concepts.


    Five elements circulating, reproducing in endless succession, it was absolutely one of the most powerful rules closed loops!


    But the Dao of Universe that fused sword, space, and formation, these three rules, was no less inferior in comparison.


    What Han Yi was strong in was his rule realm.


    However, Han Yi was not smug for too long.


    Five years later, Ye Yuan caught up again.


    The two people��s combat power was once again equal.


    Later, Han Yi was completely suppressed by Ye Yuan again.


    This time, he was utterly convinced.


    On Xianyun Mountain, rumbling sounds came from time to time.


    Two figures crisscrossed, making the group of transformation powerhouses incredibly shocked.


    Similarly transformation powerhouses, the disparity was too great!


    ��Lord Ye Yuan is really a monster! In just a short 14 years, his first form is almost reaching grand completion!��


    ��What��s scary is that his fighting talent is too strong! These recent few matches, he suppressed Chief Holy Lord until Chief Holy Lord can��t lift his head at all!��


    ��Isn��t that so? I originally thought that Chief Holy Lord was incredibly talented. But only after seeing Lord Ye Yuan did I know what��s called there��s always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven!��


    �� ��


    During these 14 years of fighting, these people had witnessed Ye Yuan��s growth with their own eyes.


    Those able to comprehend Great Dao Transformation, their talents were all one-in-a-million.


    But Han Yi��s talent absolutely left people far behind in the dust among this group of people!


    However, Han Yi was far worse when compared to Ye Yuan.


    Hence, that was why they would feel vicissitudes of emotion.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan caught Han Yi��s slip-up and was unforgiving after gaining the momentum, the Universe Dual Swords aiming for the vitals with each move, and finally completely defeated Han Yi.


    ��I concede!��


    Han Yi was helpless and could only admit defeat.


    Universe Dual Swords returned to their places. Presently, the young sprout had already grown a lot. It would be a seedling if it continued developing.


    This also indicated that Ye Yuan��s first form already reached the realm of grand completion.


    Han Yi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, ��You this fellow, can��t you save me some face?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Face is earned by yourself, not given by others. If I gave way to you, what��s the point of this spar?��


    Han Yi��s mouth curled and he said unhappily, ��You��re really boring! Not fighting anymore, not fighting anymore! There��s also no point in continuing to fight anymore. Your Father is going to ascend!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said in agreement, ��Indeed, there��s no point in continuing to fight anymore. You and I have both reached our bottlenecks, we can��t improve even if we carry on fighting like this. It��s time to break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.��


    Ye Yuan��s All-Encompassing Sacred Tree and Han Yi��s Five-star Lotus had both already reached the limit of Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, it was very hard to make any more breakthroughs.


    Wanting to improve further, they had to break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Breaking through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was just water that flowed naturally when the channel formed to these two people.


    If they were willing, they could have long broken through.


    But a hint of reluctance flashed across Han Yi��s face, and he said disappointedly, ��With this farewell, I also don��t know when we can see each other again.��


    He was different from Ye Yuan. After he ascended, he would go to the Land of Exile��s second level.


    But Ye Yuan would be directly teleported out.


    These two people fought for 14 years and also improved together for 14 years, it was naturally inevitable that some feelings of appreciation of each other would be born.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��ll be waiting for you outside!��


    Han Yi��s entire body trembled, his gaze suddenly turning to Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, it dimmed again and he said with a bitter smile, ��It��s useless. This Land of Exile was personally created by Zhuo Bufan. Forget that I��m just Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum; even if I reach grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, it��s also impossible to go out.��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what? Only with an unyielding heart, can one reverse the firmament. Could it be that you accept your fate?��


    The martial artists in the land of exile all had ways of seeking death.


    But each person��s circumstances were different.


    Han Yi ascended from a great trichiliocosm together with his wife.


    They were originally a pair of immortal lovers. Han Yi��s wife was also very beautiful.


    Who would have expected that his wife was actually fancied by a small country��s prince and actually forcibly defiled?


    His wife was ready to die to preserve her chastity and felt ashamed to face Han Yi. So she committed suicide.


    Han Yi at that time had just ascended not long ago. His strength was not strong. So how could he resist a country��s power?


    In his rage, Han Yi cultivated frenziedly. Not only did he cultivate to grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum very quickly, he even comprehended Great Dao Transformation.


    Who knew that under his fury, he actually massacred a country with his power alone!


    This matter caused a great sensation.


    Later, he was captured and thrown into the Land of Exile.


    After Ye Yuan learned about this matter, he also sighed endlessly.


    Han Yi��s methods were too fierce. Being captured and put inside, he only had himself to blame as well.


    However, his nature was not like this.


    His beloved wife suffering this kind of humiliation. Anyone would probably go crazy too.


    Han Yi��s gaze turned intent, and he immediately revealed a hint of a smile and said, ��Fine lad, I, Han Yi, never accept fate! After going out, I have to cultivate well. Don��t get surpassed by me instead after I go out!��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��Just the likes of you, you aren��t qualified enough yet!��


    Han Yi��s face turned black, but he also felt that it was not too likely.


    This boy was simply a freak.


    Han Yi felt that he was already monstrous enough, but this boy was even more monstrous than him!


    In future cultivation, if there were no accidents, Ye Yuan would only shake him off further and further behind.


    However, Ye Yuan��s monstrousness also deeply stimulated him.


    Han Yi also secretly resolved himself to definitely work hard and not lag behind Ye Yuan.


    ��You this fellow, really not cute at all! However, you��ll be dragged down by the secular world after going out. But I can only advance in the midst of slaughter. So I might not be worse than you!�� Han Yi��s gaze was piercing. He was not someone who easily admitted defeat.


    On this day, two array formation lights descended on top of Xianyun Mountain.


    Watching the two people disappear, everyone��s faces revealed a trace of relief.


    ��Finally gone! With these two around, I was even doubting life.��


    ��These two people��s talents are too terrifying. Staying together with them can cause us to lose motivation!��


    ��I have to cultivate hard! I have to regain confidence!��

 Chapter 2612 - Boycott

    ��Wen Jingxuan, even if you watch here eagerly every day, it��s also impossible for that brat to come out! When sect disciples enter the Land of Exile, the casualties are extremely high even if they travel in groups; let alone that he��s alone? I reckon that brat already died god knows how long ago!��


    Han Qianyun looked at the Wen Jingxuan with a haggard face as he said those words very smugly.


    In a blink of an eye, it had already been nearly 20 years. There was no news from Ye Yuan.


    Right now, in Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, everyone already thought that Ye Yuan was long dead.


    But these days, Wen Jingxuan would practically come to Flowing Cloud Peak every day.


    Wen Jingxuan ignored Han Qianyun and did not even glance at him.


    ��Heh, if not for that punk, how could our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect be sanctioned by the Pill Alliance and fallen to this point now? The sect from top to bottom currently hates that boy to the bones! Yet, you, this lass, fail to appreciate favor and still yearn for him to come back? Forget that he��s not coming back; even if he got incredibly lucky and came back, he��ll also have to be sanctioned by the Elders Council!�� Han Qianyun said with a cold smile.


    These 20 years that Ye Yuan entered the Land of Exile, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s days had not been easy.


    In the beginning, the Alchemist Hall��s development went very smoothly, the heavenly alchemists�� strength also grew with each passing day.


    But the good times did not last long, in the second year that Ye Yuan entered the Land of Exile, the Pill Alliance launched an attack!


    The Pill Alliance launched an extremely harsh blockade against the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    Firstly, the Pill Alliance withdrew all cooperation with the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect and made all heavenly alchemists related to the Pill Alliance withdraw.


    In fact, the Pill Alliance completely cut off the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect in terms of the supply of heavenly medicines and heavenly pills.


    This move was really destroying the ground on which one stood on.


    For a colossal sect like the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, the number of heavenly medicines and heavenly pills that it consumed every day was a huge quantity.


    All at once, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect ran out of food.


    Without the supply of heavenly medicines and heavenly pills, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect plunged into a crisis all of a sudden.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s heavenly alchemists were unable to satisfy the needs of the massive sect in the first place.


    For so many years, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect needed to buy large numbers of heavenly medicines and heavenly pills from the Pill Alliance.


    The supply of the sect��s heavenly pills dropping sharply would have a huge impact on the cultivation of the disciples.


    Now, more than ten years had passed. The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was struggling more and more to make ends meet.


    As a result, many disciples�� hearts have started wavering.


    Starting from a few years earlier, many people turned the spearhead toward Ye Yuan, feeling that all these were caused by him.


    Among them, Shi Feiyu was the most lively.


    Hence, everyone related to Ye Yuan was affected.


    Now, Lin Lan was relegated to a miscellaneous affairs servant and had his fill of contemptuous looks.


    Wen Jingxuan was even going to be sent to the Pill Alliance to be Qin Shun��s furnace!


    Within the next few days, she would be setting off soon!


    There was also Luo Yunqing going along with her!


    Luo Yunqing was going to represent the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to accept a false accusation.


    To him, this was simply unprecedented shame!


    But there was no choice.


    This matter could not be delayed.


    Although the one who made the decision was Feng Xuanyi, as the sect master, what Feng Xuanyi represented was the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s final face.


    Hence, he could only sacrifice Luo Yunqing.


    Now, even Feng Xuanyi could not hold on anymore too!


    When Han Qianyun saw Wen Jingxuan ignore him, he could not help but feel angry.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��Are you still hoping for that brat to be able to save you? Humph! If he really comes out, I, Han Qianyun, will be the first one to not let him off! What bullshit elder, he��s our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s sinner! Now, the other four great heavenly sects are all watching us as a joke. This was all single-handedly caused by him!��


    When Ye Yuan entered the Land of Exile back then, it shocked the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    What was even more aggravating was that Ye Yuan even stepped on his face.


    This matter became the entire sect��s butt of a joke!


    He, Han Qianyun, had always remembered it!


    Wen Jingxuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��If Master comes out, the first one he��ll take care of will definitely be you!��


    Han Qianyun was furious and gave Wen Jingxuan a slap and said, ��Little wench, do you still think that you��re an elder��s disciple? You��re merely a commonplace ware now!��


    Five fingerprint marks could be seen distinctly on Wen Jingxuan��s face.


    Han Qianyun did not go easy!


    She glared at Han Qianyun hatefully, her eyes full of fury.


    This master and apprentices few people did not stint with doing evil these few years.


    She was still alright, but Lin Lan��s outcome was very miserable.


    If not for Luo Yunqing protecting him, Lin Lan would probably have long been tormented to death already.


    Seeing Wen Jingxuan glaring, Han Qianyun laughed instead and said, ��Little slut, you��re really a beauty. No wonder Qin Shun is so tempted by you. The first condition he stated was you! If not for Qin Shun, I��d also want you right now!��


    Wen Jingxuan ignored him. Getting to her feet, she silently kowtowed thrice in the direction of the Land of Exile��s transmission array.


    Although Ye Yuan was universally condemned right now, in Wen Jingxuan��s heart, Ye Yuan was her savior.


    Furthermore, the Alchemy Dao technique that Ye Yuan imparted her let her alchemy path strength increase greatly.


    She came today to bid farewell to Ye Yuan.


    She was powerless to resist the sect��s decision.


    Wiping away her tears, Wen Jingxuan turned around and was about to leave.


    But Han Qianyun was unrelenting and said in a cold voice, ��Little slut, do you really think that I can��t do anything to you?��


    As he said, he was about to make a move again.


    ��Master!��


    But right at this time, Wen Jingxuan��s entire body trembled, looking in the direction of the transmission array with a look of disbelief.


    A figure was currently walking over from there!


    But very soon, the shock turned into a pleasant surprise!


    Han Qianyun had his back towards the transmission array and could not help laughing as he said, ��Little slut, have you gotten hysteria? Do you think that by bringing out that rubbish master of yours, I won��t dare to touch you?��


    ��Just you try touching her!�� Right at this time, a voice came over from behind.


    Han Qianyun��s expression changed wildly, and he turned around to look. Ye Yuan was currently looking at him not far away with a gloomy expression on his face.


    Ye Yuan already saw the distinct slap print on Wen Jingxuan��s face!


    Han Qianyun had an expression like he had seen a ghost as he cried out in surprise, ��Y-Y-You actually came out of the Land of Exile? This �� How is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and looked towards Wen Jingxuan and said, ��Was it him who did it?��


    Wen Jingxuan nodded her head. Ignoring the fiery burn on her face, she said with a look of pleasant surprise, ��Master, it��s good that you came back! It��s great that you came back!��


    As she said, her eyes were already holding tears.


    These few years had seriously been too horrible.


    Han Qianyun��s eyes turned dark and he said with a cold snort, ��So what if you came out? Humph! Just nice! I��ll take you down and detain you to go and ask Sect Master for punishment!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a frown, ��Looks like I stepped a little light on your face!��


    Han Qianyun��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan! It was still fine if you didn��t mention this! Mentioning this matter, let��s settle the old scores and new!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Oh? Is that so? Could it be that you��re not afraid that I��ll trample on your face again? This time, I��ll have to trample harder to make you remember it!��


    Han Qianyun said disdainfully, ��This time, I��m prepared. Just the likes of you also want to paralyze me?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a faint smile, ��Is that so? Seems like �� you��re already poisoned!��


    Han Qianyun��s expression changed wildly. Suddenly, he felt a paralysis all over from head to toe.


    Then he experienced a spasm ��

 Chapter 2613 - Overwhelmed with Terror!

    Smack, smack, smack!


    Ye Yuan lifted his legs and stepped a few times on Han Qianyun��s face viciously before giving vent to his anger.


    Han Qianyun��s face was full of shoe prints.


    This strengthened version of Windward Topple, he conveniently kept a little when Windward Topple refined it back then.


    He did not expect that it was actually put to use now.


    Smack, smack, smack!


    What took Ye Yuan aback was that Wen Jingxuan suddenly rushed over and also stomped a few times on Han Qianyun��s face.


    These few years of repression made her finally explode the moment she saw Ye Yuan.


    ��Huff �� Stomping him a few times, it feels much better!�� Wen Jingxuan said with an unrefined look.


    But, seeing Wen Jingxuan��s appearance akin to being relieved of a heavy burden, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed together.


    Instinct told him that most likely, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect had some changes.


    ��Jingxuan, what happened to the sect?�� Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    Wen Jingxuan looked at Ye Yuan, finally feeling that she had found a backer.


    For a moment, grievances that filled her welled up in her heart, and tears burst out uncontrollably.


    Complaining tearfully, Wen Jingxuan recounted the changes these few years for Ye Yuan to hear. making Ye Yuan somewhat reproach himself too.


    He did not expect that the Pill Alliance��s influence was actually so great, to actually be able to directly boycott a great heavenly sect!


    In reality, even Feng Xuanyi did not expect it either.


    The Pill Alliance, this faction, was very low-profile. It normally concealed its abilities.


    But once it erupted, its power was astonishing.


    Qin Shun��s matter was merely a fuse that let the low-profile Pill Alliance reveal a power that was as strong as Mount Tai.


    Indeed, the Pill Alliance��s attack this time shocked the entire Rainclear Continent!


    Only then did the people realize that the Pill Alliance��s tentacles had already reached into the corners of the Five Great Heavenly Regions!


    Even a colossal sect like the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect actually had no choice but to lower their head and admit their fault too.


    Fury rose in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    With the Pill Alliance attacking, this had no cause for much criticism.


    But making Luo Yunqing lower his head and making Wen Jingxuan become a furnace were too much!


    Disregarding Wen Jingxuan, if she was sent to Qin Shun there, there would presumably be no good end.


    Even if it was Luo Yunqing, once his head was lowered, the effect on him would be too great!


    He, Luo Yunqing, one person and one sword, how unrestrained and uninhibited was he? How arrogant at heart and haughty in manner was he?


    Ye Yuan was perfectly clear that after going, the effect on Luo Yunqing��s cultivation in the future would be too great.


    In fact, making no more progress was also not impossible.


    A gentleman��s sword would not bow its head!


    Whoever stopped me, I��ll kill with one sword move!


    Lowering one��s head meant the sword breaking.


    The sword was already broken; so still cultivate what sword then?


    If Luo Yunqing was just by himself, he would definitely kill his way up to the Pill Alliance.


    But for the sake of the sect, he had no choice but to lower his head!


    A hint of coldness exuded from Ye Yuan��s eyes and he said in a solemn voice, ��Come!��


    Wen Jingxuan was taken aback and said, ��Go where?��


    ��To save your senior apprentice brother!��


    �� ��


    Li Zhuo had been riding on the crest of success recently.


    Not only did he break through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum and become an outer-sect disciple, he even found an even stronger backer.


    Han Qianyun felt that Li Zhuo was sensible and took him in as a disciple.


    To outer-sect disciples, being able to acknowledge a protector as one��s master was also a remarkably great thing.


    Additionally, abusing Ye Yuan��s disciple, Lin Lan, also became one of the joys of his life.


    Bang!


    Li Zhuo kicked Lin Lan flying with a kick and said with a sneer, ��Old thing, crawl through under my crotch and I��ll spare you today! Otherwise, you��ll have to lie on the bed for a few months again!��


    Lin Lan was relegated to a servant and had his cultivation sealed. He could only unleash the strength of a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum and was not Li Zhuo��s match at all.


    These few years, Li Zhuo tormented Lin Lan a lot too.


    If not for Luo Yunqing specifically giving warnings, Lin Lan would have long died already.


    Although Luo Yunqing had lost power, his strength was placed there. It was not what the likes of Li Zhuo, this kind of outer-sect disciple, could provoke.


    Lin Lan spat and said disdainfully, ��A lapdop wanting to make this old man crawl under your crotch, dream on! If you have the capability, kill me!��


    Li Zhuo was currently a salted fish that gained a new lease on life. He was most upset by others calling him a lapdog.


    Hearing what Lin Lan said, he was immediately furious and directly broke Lin Lan��s legs with a kick.


    ��Kill you? You don��t want to live anymore and want to drag me together to die? Heh heh, what a shame it would be to kill you, your Lord Zhuo will lose out on a lot of fun in the future!�� Li Zhuo said with a sneer.


    Indeed, Lin Lan did not want to live anymore.


    Each time Li Zhuo came, he struck extremely heavily.


    Lin Lan still had to do manual labor with serious injuries in tow. His body had long already been worn down.


    Rather than living like this, he might as well die.


    Lin Lan did not believe that Ye Yuan would die in the Land of Exile.


    After all, he had seen Ye Yuan create too many miracles.


    But he felt that he could not wait for Ye Yuan to come back anymore.


    This kind of situation, each day was worse than death!


    Tomorrow, Wen Jingxuan was going to be sent to the Pill Alliance. Luo Yunqing also had to go and apologize.


    He planned on ending his life tomorrow.


    If he could drag this dog down before dying, it was also pretty good.


    But sadly, Li Zhuo did not fall for it!


    Lin Lan spat out a mouthful of blood and said with gritted teeth, ��Li Zhuo, don��t you get cocky! After Master returns from the Land of Exile, it will be your death date!��


    But when Li Zhuo heard that, he laughed loudly without ceasing and said, ��That dead ghost had probably long already been dismembered in the Land of Exile, right? You��re making that dead ghost come and deal with me? Haha, what a joke!��


    Li Zhuo seemed to have heard the funniest joke, raising his head and laughing loudly without ceasing.


    But all of a sudden, he felt the surroundings suddenly quieten down, and e could not help feeling a little curious.


    When his gaze landed, his entire body could not help shuddering.


    The ��dead ghost�� that he talked about was currently looking at him.


    This scene seemed to be a supernatural event, making his hair stand on end.


    Thud!


    Li Zhuo plopped down onto the ground, scared out of his wits.


    ��Y-Y-You, why are you here? A-Aren��t you already dead?�� Li Zhuo was scared silly as he stammered.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze when looking at him was like looking at a dead person.


    It was not just him. Everyone around him looked at him like looking at a dead person.


    Back then, before Ye Yuan entered the sect, he killed Lu Zhanyuan in public. He would naturally dare to kill Li Zhuo.


    And this scene was also announcing to everyone that he, Ye Yuan, had returned domineeringly!


    Ye Yuan did not speak, he just looked at Li Zhuo quietly like that, and paced forward slowly.


    Li Zhuo was already overwhelmed with terror and kept saying, ��Y-You! Don��t come over!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued advancing.


    Li Zhuo was horrified and said, ��I �� I��m Protector Han Qianyun��s disciple now! Y-You can��t kill me!��


    Ye Yuan ignored and still closed in.


    Each step that he took forward, Li Zhuo would shift a step on the ground using his buttocks.


    He could not stand up at all!


    The people all felt that Ye Yuan was already Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum presently!


    Recalling back then, Lu Zhanyuan was not even Ye Yuan��s match in the same cultivation realm, let alone Li Zhuo this kind of trash?


    Therefore, he had no chance of winning!


    One step, another step.


    Along with Ye Yuan��s closing in, everyone��s breathing became hastened.


    ��Urgh �� Argh!��


    Suddenly, Li Zhuo raised his head to the sky and roared, his eyeballs protruding, fresh blood and unknown fluids flowing out of his mouth.


    Bang!


    Li Zhuo fell to the ground with a loud bang and actually already breathed his last!


    When everyone saw this scene, they were dumbfounded!


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was actually scared to death by Ye Yuan?

 Chapter 2614 - : Brother Luo, Fight or Not!

    ��No way, right? How can this Li Zhuo be so useless, to actually be frightened to death?��


    ��It��s not that he��s useless, but that Ye Yuan��s aura is too strong! That Li Zhuo had his legs broken by Ye Yuan, and then Ye Yuan killed Lu Zhanyuan in front of him. Now, he entered the Land of Exile and could still return safely. These cast a huge shadow in Li Zhuo��s heart! Coupled with the fact that he��s someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong to begin with, that��s why he��d be scared to death!��


    ��Ever since Ye Yuan entered the sect, the impact that he caused is seriously too great! Killing Lu Zhanyuan, battling with Qin Shun and Shi Feiyu, paralyzing the entire sect, entering the Land of Exile, which incident wasn��t earth-shaking? Becoming his enemy is the most terrifying thing!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan scaring Li Zhuo to death in three steps caused a huge shock on Thousand Bird Peak.


    His domineering return spread throughout the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect very quickly like a hurricane.


    Ever since entering the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, each incident that Ye Yuan had done, they were all shocking.


    Now that he returned domineeringly, just what kind of sensation would he cause? Everyone was also waiting to see.


    Of course, the first thing that Ye Yuan had to face was the sect��s fury!


    Being completely boycotted by the Pill Alliance, resulting in humiliating the sect, and forfeiting its sovereign rights, all these made Ye Yuan become the common target for scorn.


    If he died in the Land of Exile, then forget it. Yet, he came back!


    This matter, how should he get through it?


    But everyone was not optimistic about it.


    This matter was already not what human strength could change.


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible to resist the entire Pill Alliance.


    Especially these few years, everyone had already completely witnessed the Pill Alliance��s strength.


    Right at this moment, a powerful aura was heading straight for Thousand Bird Peak.


    When everyone saw the situation, their expressions changed one after another.


    ��Ye Yuan, hand over your life!�� Han Qianyun��s furious to the extreme roar instantly reverberated throughout the entire Thousand Bird Peak.


    The pressure of a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was also urged by him to the extreme in an instant.


    When Han Qianyun woke up, he felt his face hurt badly.


    He transformed a mirror with a spell to look at the reflection and discovered that his face was trampled full of shoe prints.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not trample plainly but employed divine essence to leave many shoe prints on his face.


    These shoe prints could not be removed in a short time!


    With Ye Yuan stepping on his face time and again, this made Han Qianyun unable to tolerate it!


    In his rage, he sprinted straight for Thousand Bird Peak.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently treating Lin Lan��s injuries.


    Lin Lan had a lot of old injuries, he could not recover in a short time at all. Ye Yuan could only ease them for the time being.


    Facing the Han Qianyun who came in a rage, Ye Yuan just turned his head back and gave him an indifferent glance.


    The expression of the enraged Han Qianyun suddenly changed drastically!


    Swoosh!


    He retreated at an even faster speed than when he came.


    When this scene landed in everyone��s eyes, they were incomparably stupefied.


    What was going on?


    Didn��t you come to kill people?


    He gave you a glance and you had the piss scared out of you?


    Repelling the enemy with one look, furthermore, the enemy here was even Han Qianyun, a sect protector!


    This made Ye Yuan��s image become incomparably stalwart in everyone��s eyes.


    Cultivation realm never seemed to be a big deal in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Didn��t you want me to hand over my life? My life is right here. Come and take it!�� Ye Yuan��s words also revealed a trace of iciness.


    Li Zhuo said it earlier; he acknowledged Han Qianyun as master.


    Then Li Zhuo treating Lin Lan high-handedly probably could not dispense with Han Qianyun��s instigation.


    If he had long known it would be like this, he should have finished him off on Flowing Cloud Peak just now!


    But sadly, the enhanced version of Windward Topple was already used completely. He only put on an empty-fort strategy just now.


    Han Qianyun, this idiot, indeed fell for it.


    Of course, it was also primarily because Han Qianyun was frightened into intimidation by Ye Yuan. So he was the same as Li Zhuo.


    He already had a psychological trauma toward Ye Yuan.


    ��Don��t you be arrogant! Since you came out, the crime of the sect suffering distress should also be repaid! I want to see how you get through this today!�� Han Qianyun said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Then don��t need you to worry about it, I feel that you��d better worry about yourself! Jingxuan, send him back.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan directly got up and left.


    Han Qianyun��s expression changed and he said, ��You want to run!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Run? Why do I have to run? Jingxuan, Lin Lan, and Elder Luo��s matter, you master and disciple played a part, right? You��d better wash your neck clean and wait for death!��


    Finished saying, he went straight down the mountain.


    Han Qianyun wanted to stop him, but he also did not dare.


    However, Ye Yuan��s action attracted many people��s gazes.


    People also followed him one after another and went down the mountain.


    Outside of everyone��s expectations, Ye Yuan arrived at True Feather Peak.


    This place was Luo Yunqing��s residence.


    As sect elders, they all had independent mountain peaks as residences.


    However, on this True Feather Peak, there were no luxurious buildings and also no disciples that crowded around.


    There was only a thatched cottage and a tiny courtyard.


    In the courtyard, a sword was hanging in it quietly.


    Luo Yunqing was currently looking at this sword intently, his face full of solemnness and a conflicted expression.


    After a long time, he extended a finger out and was going to tap the sword body.


    He gave a long sigh and said, ��I��m sorry, old pal!��


    ��Senior Luo, this Ye came to seek guidance. Will you grant a battle?�� Right at this time, a voice came from outside the thatched cottage. It was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed, immediately revealing a look of wild elation.


    He suddenly stood up and looked outside of the courtyard. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��Brother Ye! You came back!�� Luo Yunqing said with a pleasant surprise.


    Ye Yuan��s face had no joy nor sorrow, but then a surge of sword intent billowed to the sky, and he said coolly, ��Brother Luo, fight or not?��


    Luo Yunqing��s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a hint of solemn melancholy as he shook his head and said, ��Brother Ye, from today onward, I��m swordless!��


    Ye Yuan did not have the slightest ripple and spoke up again, ��Brother Luo, fight or not?!��


    His aura became stronger and stronger, surging straight for the sky!


    This kind of astonishing sidelong glance also made everyone give sidelong glances.


    Even Luo Yunqing revealed a look of surprise too.


    How could a guy who just broke through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum have such a fierce sword intent?


    As if sensing Ye Yuan��s sword intent, the long sword hanging in the courtyard actually emitted a series of light cries!


    Luo Yunqing had become one with his sword, he could naturally feel his old pal��s intention.


    It wanted to fight!


    Just earlier, Ye Yuan saw that Luo Yunqing actually wanted to break his sword.


    With this thought, Luo Yunqing��s ambition was ground flat.


    Not others who ground down his spirit, but he himself!


    Not grinding it down, he could not lower his head!


    Only by breaking the sword could he step out of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    The cutting edge of the sword depended on this saying: if gods block, kill gods; if Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!


    Once the spirit was lost, one would no longer advance an inch!


    It was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to allow this sort of thing to happen. Therefore, he did not have small talk with Luo Yunqing, but he directly declared battle!


    The noise and shouting were long already in great commotion outside of the courtyard.


    Everyone was shocked by Ye Yuan��s way of doing things.


    ��He actually challenged Luo Yunqing! Doesn��t he know that Luo Yunqing is a transformation powerhouse?��


    ��He��s helping Luo Yunqing find himself again!��


    ��This guy is really nuts! Luo Yunqing isn��t Lu Zhanyuan that sort of farce. Even if he suppresses his realm, he can also instantly kill Lu Zhanyuan!��


    �� ��

 Chapter 2615 - Enlightening the Benighted!

    Facing Ye Yuan��s sword intent that surged to the sky, Luo Yunqing fell silent.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was doing it for his own good. It was just that at this time, was he still going to fight?


    Ye Yuan returned. Could he overcome the raging tides?


    Luo Yunqing thought about it and felt that there was virtually no possibility.


    Maybe a few thousand years later, Ye Yuan could lead the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to rise up domineeringly.


    But at present, he could not!


    ��Brother Luo, fight or not!��


    Ye Yuan spoke for the third time, his voice akin to thunder, howling above the ninth heaven!


    And his sword intent climbed to the limit.


    Everyone��s countenance changed visibly.


    ��What a strong sword intent! I��m forced by this sword intent until I somewhat can��t open my eyes anymore!��


    ��His sword is God knows how many times stronger than when he killed Lu Zhanyuan back then! It��s also no wonder that he dares to challenge Luo Yunqing!��


    �� ��


    This sword intent made the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples extremely shocked.


    There was an additional hint of surprise in Luo Yunqing��s eyes.


    The fighting intent in his chest was virtually surging out uncontrollably.


    Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was a lot lower than him, his sword intent seemed to be able to evoke the soul, leaving him nowhere to hide.


    Clank!


    A sharp and sorrowful cry emitted from Luo Yunqing��s sword body.


    That was the sorrowful cry of when a bird was about to die, its cries would be sorrowful too!


    Onlookers might not feel it, but Luo Yunqing��s heart was practically shattering to pieces along with this sorrowful cry.


    He gave a bitter laugh and said, ��Forget it. I��ll fulfill your wishes and accompany you to fight another battle! Come on, old pal!��


    Luo Yunqing reached his hand out and beckoned. The long sword emitted a light cry of unwillingness and flew straight into his hands.


    Ye Yuan held his palm out, the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree appeared!


    Luo Yunqing��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Great Dao Transformation!��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan ignored Luo Yunqing��s astonishment and directly urged Universe, the two swords, rushing toward Luo Yunqing.


    Luo Yunqing gave a light snort, fighting intent rising, as he raised his sword to meet it!


    However, Luo Yunqing suppressed his cultivation realm to lower Greater Sublime Heaven.


    With his pride, he naturally would not take advantage of Ye Yuan.


    But as soon as they exchanged blows, he felt that something was wrong.


    Too strong!


    Ye Yuan��s Universe two swords were like a storm, suppressing him until he could not catch his breath.


    Only then did he know just how much Ye Yuan improved in the Land of Exile!


    Luo Yunqing was a one law transformation. He specialized in Sword Dao and had no other distractions.


    But it was also precisely because of this that the power of Luo Yunqing��s sword was even stronger!


    His transformation was none other than this sword in this hand!


    This sword accompanied him to grow until this day.


    Hence, his transformation was directly integrated into the sword.


    Luo Yunqing was nurturing the sword with his intent!


    What Ye Yuan��s sword pursued was Great Dao accommodation.


    And what Luo Yunqing��s sword pursued was the limit of Sword Dao.


    What the two people walked, each was a completely different Sword Dao.


    Luo Yunqing��s sword was by no means inferior even if fighting ordinary three laws or four laws!


    But he encountered Ye Yuan!


    Coupled with that Luo Yunqing had no intention to fight at this time, he was long already no longer the Luo Yunqing in the past!


    This battle made Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s people dumbfounded with shock.


    No one expected that Martial Secure��s number one sword would actually be completely suppressed!


    The news of Ye Yuan returning to the sect already spread throughout the sect at this time as well.


    Many Jade Sovereign Heaven elders, even including Feng Xuanyi, had already quietly arrived at True Feather Peak as well.


    When they saw Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation, each and every one of them was shocked and speechless.


    These people were all people with extremely high cultivation realms. How amazing was their eyesight?


    Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation already reached the limits of the first form.


    This was still not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao simply had no weakness to exploit!


    There was virtually no possibility of winning him in the same realm!


    Each and every one of these elders substituted Luo Yunqing to fight with Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, they all secretly shook their heads.


    Because they discovered that in the same realm, they were not Ye Yuan��s match at all!


    In fact, even if they suppressed their cultivation realms to middle Greater Sublime Heaven, they were completely not a match either!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan slew Lu Zhanyuan, he definitely did not have such fearsome strength.


    Concerning this point, many people had seen it with their own eyes.


    But, after Ye Yuan made a trip to the Land of Exile, he seemed to have been reborn anew.


    Now, even Luo Yunqing was not a match!


    Who was Luo Yunqing?


    He was the sword path��s number one person!


    This guy was a sword fanatic, his heart yearned only for the Sword Dao and there was never anyone in his eyes!


    Back then, when Luo Yunqing just entered Jade Sovereign Heaven, he could even overpower Shi Feiyu under the circumstances of not utilizing Great Dao Transformation.


    The might of his strength could be seen!


    However, in front of Ye Yuan, Luo Yunqing completely could not do it at all!


    ��Is this Martial Secure��s number one sword? When did Martial Secure��s number one sword become such a joke?�� Each of Ye Yuan��s words cut deeply.


    He knew that Luo Yunqing��s strength was definitely more than this.


    The Land of Exile was indeed an excellent place to train. But being in the midst of this bottomless secular world tempered the sword heart even more.


    Ye Yuan could feel Luo Yunqing��s sincere heart toward the sword.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan guessed that in the same realm, Luo Yunqing��s strength definitely would not be much weaker than Han Yi!


    But, Luo Yunqing��s current strength, most likely not even one-tenth of it was unleashed.


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed slightly and he said, ��Brother Ye, don��t force me! No matter how strong my sword is, I can��t be stronger than the Pill Alliance too!��


    Ye Yuan said angrily, ��Those who practiced the sword would rather break than bend! If you break your own sword, you are lowering your head to others! Are you worthy of your sect, worthy of your own sword? If I were you, I��d kill my way up to the Pill Alliance by myself with a sword! Even if I die, I also wouldn��t allow the enemy to humiliate me!��


    ��Insolence!��


    In the crowd, Shi Feiyu said in a great rage, ��Luo Yunqing admitting his fault is showing consideration for the sect��s overall situation! Wouldn��t killing his way up to the Pill Alliance cause the Pill Alliance to retaliate even more strongly? A traitor like you, deluding people with fallacies, just what are your intentions?!��


    Ye Yuan had a proud look as he said loudly, ��In the past, us ascenders have no place that we belonged to and no territory! We relied on an unyielding heart and forcibly carved out this foundation! The four great heavenly regions united to encircle and suppress ascenders. Zhuo Bufan led our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to kill the enemy bravely. When had we lowered our heads to the enemy to admit our fault before? Now, the foundation is achieved. Have we lost our guts? If our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect lowers our head today, it will never be able to raise its head! Old fogey, you��re deluding people with fallacies here, humiliating the sect and forfeiting its sovereign rights! You��re the treacherous one!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice was akin to a great bell, each word enlightening the benighted, making many sect upper echelons feel extremely ashamed.


    And Luo Yunqing��s eyes were also regaining clarity bit by bit.


    ��You!��


    Shi Feiyu was angered until his entire body was trembling, going crazy.


    But Ye Yuan did not give him the chance and continued, ��Old fogey, you beguiled the sect master to offer up my disciple. Once this precedent is made, I want to ask, what face does Sect Master still have to go and meet our ancestors? In the future, if the Pill Alliance wants our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s cultivation method and secret skill books, should we offer it up on a silver platter too? Or if they want your dog head?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly turned around, looked at Luo Yunqing, and said, ��Today, you, Luo Yunqing, break your sword! In the future, the Pill Alliance can exterminate the sect! Weighing what��s more important, you judge it for yourself! If you��ve set your mind on breaking your sword, it��s better to die under this Ye��s sword! There will naturally be this Ye to bear the responsibility for the Pill Alliance��s matter alone!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan swung his sword and advanced, heading straight for Luo Yunqing!


    This sword move, Ye Yuan did not hold back in the slightest!


    Clank!


    Ye Yuan��s figure was repelled back, but Luo Yunqing��s eyes had completely regained clarity!


    ��Brother Ye, many thanks! This Luo knows what to do now!��

 Chapter 2616 - Forcing Abdication!

    Chapter 2616: Forcing Abdication!


    ��Come! You and I, let��s have a good fight!��


    Luo Yunqing brandished the long sword in his hand, his entire person immediately in flourishing spirits, becoming like a different person from the decadence earlier.


    When Shi Feiyu saw this scene, his expression could not help changing.


    He schemed for a long time to ruin Luo Yunqing��s sword heart. He did not expect that the moment Ye Yuan came back, he made him regain it!


    ��Haha, that��s more like it!�� Ye Yuan laughed loudly and said.


    ��Brother Ye, you have to be careful! I won��t hold back this time!�� Luo Yunqing said with a light smile.


    ��Huhu, want to win me, you��re still lacking!��


    Ye Yuan laughed loudly, two green leaves turning into a myriad of sword lights and rushing toward Luo Yunqing.


    Luo Yunqing one person and his sword became a unified entity, revealing its sharp edge.


    Clank, clank, clank ��


    In an instant, the two people exchanged countless sword blows, making people see things in a blur.


    Ye Yuan��s advantage previously was all gone!


    In everyone��s eyes, the two people seemed to have turned into two sharp swords, crisscrossing.


    What the two people developed was both the limit of Sword Dao!


    At this moment, Luo Yunqing finally returned to his soul, his entire person revealing a sharp edge, clanking extraordinarily.


    But Ye Yuan was not the least bit inferior!


    Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao was mellow, very well-balanced, and stable, not leaving the slightest flaw.


    No matter how sharp Luo Yunqing was, he was also unable to break through!


    Feng Xuanyi watched until his eyes sparkled brightly, secretly crying out lucky in his heart.


    Rare talents such as Luo Yunqing and Ye Yuan, gaining them were his good fortune, losing them were his fate!


    If not for Ye Yuan returning, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect would really suffer a huge loss!


    Ye Yuan��s words earlier also made him feel extremely ashamed.


    The master of a sect had too many misgivings.


    Luo Yunqing was also like him, willing to sacrifice himself for the sect.


    But could sacrificing him be exchanged for the benevolence of the enemy?


    In this world, there had never been anyone who survived by wagging their tails and begging for pity.


    Want to survive, you could only continuously break through!


    People were like so!


    The sect was like so too!


    When he chased Qin Shun away, he had anticipated today��s result.


    It was just that he did not expect that the Pill Alliance was so strong.


    Hence, he was overcautious and indecisive again!


    Sacrificing the sect��s most outstanding disciples to exchange for the Pill Alliance��s short-term compassion.


    Was this really worth it?


    The onlookers did not have his complicated thoughts. Ye Yuan and Luo Yunqing��s battle of Sword Dao made all of the disciples�� hot blood seethe with excitement.


    Especially disciples that used the sword, they were even more intoxicated from watching.


    Even many protectors gave sidelong glances too.


    ��The two of them really developed Sword Dao to the limit!��


    ��Putting Elder Luo aside, why is Ye Yuan, this heavenly alchemist��s Sword Dao, so sharp and fierce too?��


    ��Really incredible! Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation first form has actually already been perfected! What in the world did he experience in the Land of Exile?��


    �� ��


    The two people��s battle attracted bursts of exclamations.


    Luo Yunqing��s might, that was within reason!


    But no one expected that Ye Yuan was so strong too!


    Boom!


    Suddenly, there was an intense collision. Luo Yunqing flew out backward!


    This bit of fluctuation was naturally nothing to him, this Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    But everyone could tell that he was defeated!


    This time, he really lost!


    One astonished gaze after another locked onto Ye Yuan.


    He defeated the same rank Luo Yunqing, didn��t that mean that the sect��s number one genius currently, was Ye Yuan?


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.


    But Luo Yunqing laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� awesome! I, Luo Yunqing, am wholeheartedly convinced at my loss! Didn��t expect that after Brother Ye entered the Land of Exile, not only did he comprehend Great Dao Transformation, you even comprehended it to the extreme! Remarkable! Incredible!��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Brother Luo is too humble! I faced one law with three laws. It was an unscrupulous win!��


    Luo Yunqing waved his sleeves grandly and said, ��Victory is victory; defeat is defeat! I, Luo Yunqing, am not someone who can��t take a loss! But this fight let me understand that my Sword Dao still has room for improvement! Of course, more importantly is that I, Luo Yunqing, have found myself again!��


    Finished saying, Luo Yunqing said to Feng Xuanyi with clasped hands, ��Sect Master, I��m sorry! This fault, I, Luo Yunqing, can��t admit it! From now on, I, Luo Yunqing, will withdraw from the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! My grudge with the Pill Alliance has nothing to do with the Pill Alliance! Farewell!��


    Luo Yunqing��s figure moved slightly and he was about to leave.


    Feng Xuanyi��s brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��Impudent! Is the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect somewhere that you can come and go as you please? Get back for me!��


    Only to see him reach his hand out and point at the void, a piercing cold air billow instantly exploded.


    Luo Yunqing was actually forced back!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his pupils also constricted slightly.


    Indeed well-deserving of being the master of a sect, this kind of strength was simply shocking!


    ��Sect Master!�� Luo Yunqing said anxiously.


    ��Shut up!�� Feng Xuanyi��s brows furrowed and he shouted coldly.


    Indeed, Luo Yunqing did not dare to speak anymore.


    Shi Feiyu saw through Feng Xuanyi��s intention to protect him and suddenly said, ��Sect Master, this farce is already over! Since Ye Yuan has already returned, then he should be held solely responsible for the Pill Alliance��s matter! This matter was caused entirely because of him. If we don��t hand him over to the Pill Alliance, it will likely be hard to appease the Pill Alliance��s wrath!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��If we hand Ye Yuan over to the Pill Alliance, will they be willing to drop the matter? Could it be that what��s lost isn��t our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s face?��


    Shi Feiyu said, ��Sect Master, while the sect��s face is important, long-term development is more important! We��re currently already completely boycotted by the Pill Alliance. Over the past two decades, our disciples�� cultivation speed has been getting slower and slower! If we��re unable to appease the Pill Alliance��s fury, this disparity will grow greater and greater! At that time, the Five Great Heavenly Sects will probably become the Four Great Heavenly Sects!��


    Feng Xuanyi was just about to speak, but an old man suddenly spoke up, ��Feiyu��s words are reasonable! Although Ye Yuan��s talent is decent, his talent can��t save the sect! If we allow the Pill Alliance to continue boycotting, a hundred years later, our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will probably withdraw from the stage of history!��


    The moment these words came out, even Feng Xuanyi��s expression changed too.


    But when Shi Feiyu heard that, he was overjoyed.


    The one who spoke was Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s head elder, Shen Chang!


    Head Elder��s prestige in the sect was extremely high, it did not even lose to the Sect Master Feng Xuanyi.


    The moment he spoke up, the weight became heavy.


    ��Sect Master, being protective of your own at this time, is playing a joke with the sect��s fate! Sect Master, please think thrice before acting!��


    ��Ye Yuan is lawless and unbridled. Angering Qin Shun away, he has to give an account for this matter!��


    ��Sect Master please put the interests of the whole above all else!��


    �� ��


    Sure enough, the moment Head Elder opened his mouth, many elders spoke up to concur one after another. The height of his prestige could be seen.


    But Feng Xuanyi��s expression became ugly to the extreme.


    This matter concerned the sect��s destiny, even Head Elder was not optimistic about Ye Yuan either.


    This put tremendous pressure on him.


    ��Enough! All shut up for me!�� Feng Xuanyi shouted coldly, quelling everyone.


    His gaze swept across everyone, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Qin Shun was chased away by me, Feng Xuanyi! This matter, if responsibility needs to be taken, I��ll take full responsibility! If the elders have any dissatisfaction, I, Feng Xuanyi, am willing to give up the position of sect master! But, regarding Ye Yuan and Luo Yunqing, I��m shielding them!��


    Chapter 2616 �C Forcing Abdication!

 Chapter 2617 - Swearing

    On True Feather Peak, the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.


    No one expected that Sect Master did not stint to abdicate and actually wanted to protect these two people too!


    Even Ye Yuan was shocked for a while too.


    A sect master was a sect��s sea-stabilizing needle.


    Unless a huge change happened to the sect, otherwise, there would be extremely few changes.


    Especially the master of a sect who was like the noonday sun, such as Feng Xuanyi!


    But now, he actually took the initiative to abdicate for him and Luo Yunqing.


    A warmth flowed through Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Just for this high regard, Ye Yuan also had to help the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect tide over the difficult hurdle this time!


    Head Elder Shen Chang��s gaze turned slightly intent, showing a visible change in countenance all over his face.


    He did not expect that Feng Xuanyi was actually so determined.


    ��Sect Master, you��re speaking too seriously!�� Shen Chang let out a sigh and said.


    But Feng Xuanyi said calmly, ��Head Elder, it isn��t too serious! This matter concerns the sect��s destiny. I��m also not impassioned with excitement! I admit that when Qin Shun was expelled from the sect back then, this sect master severely underestimated the Pill Alliance��s strength. But, since shedding all pretenses of cordiality is already unavoidable, we have no need to offer ourselves up to be humiliated anymore!��


    ��If we lower our heads this time, disregarding how the other sects would view us, could it be that the Pill Alliance will let us off? No one will pity the weak. Want to resist the Pill Alliance, we can only continuously strive to become stronger!��


    Shi Feiyu smiled coldly and said, ��Sect Master, you said it just nicely! But without the assistance of heavenly pills, how do we continuously strive to become stronger? Disregarding ordinary disciples, even you and I, these Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, also have to purchase heavenly pills from the Pill Alliance there, right?��


    Feng Xuanyi��s brows furrowed, immediately feeling put on the spot.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect did not have grade four heavenly alchemists. They all, these elders�� heavenly pills, had to be purchased from the Pill Alliance.


    It was also precisely because of this that the Pill Alliance��s boycott was a powerful deterrent.


    Feng Xuanyi being forced to nod his head previously, actually, the biggest reason was also precisely because of this.


    Without grade four heavenly pills, it was not that they, these Jade Sovereign Heavens�� cultivation would come to a standstill, but it would definitely become much slower.


    If things went on like this, the sect��s strength would definitely have the distance pulled apart quickly.


    Heavenly pills were not a must, but without heavenly pills, it was hard to take a single step.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he only successfully broke through after consuming several dozen heavenly imperial pills too.


    Shen Chang also nodded and said, ��Sect Master, this crime of forcing you to abdicate, this old man can��t bear the charge. But you��ve got to come up with a solution for the sect��s current predicament, right? Saying to continuously strive to become stronger with all talk but no promises, that is useless!��


    These words were somewhat penetrating criticism. It was also equivalent to checkmating.


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression became even uglier. But now, he already mounted a tiger��s back and found it hard to get off.


    At this time, Ye Yuan walked out slowly and said coolly, ��Is Head Elder asking for a solution with all talk but no promises here is useful?��


    Shen Chang��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice, ��Impudent! Brat, is it your turn to speak here?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I wonder if my position as an elder has already been revoked? If it hasn��t been revoked yet, my status in the sect should be equal to Head Elder. It shouldn��t be considered impudent, right?��


    Shen Chang��s face turned face, and he was choked on the spot until he could not speak.


    These few years, everyone all thought that Ye Yuan was dead. So nobody went to care about this elder.


    A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum elder, if he was dead, he was dead.


    Even if he caused a stir for some time, it was also just akin to a comet.


    But now, it made Shen Chang unable to speak.


    ��Looks like I, this elder, still have the right to speak. Then, I��ll say a few words.��


    Ye Yuan cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the elders, and said with a sneer, ��With all due respect, everyone present here is a trash!��


    One sentence caused everyone��s faces to suddenly change.


    Even Feng Xuanyi��s expression changed slightly too.


    This guy was really hell-bent on shocking people to death with his words!


    ��Ye Yuan, you, a mere Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, actually dare to engage in wild talks here and insult all the elders!�� Shi Feiyu said in a great rage.


    ��Brat! You caused such a terrible disaster, and yet you actually still have the face to insult the sect��s elders now! Do you really think that this elder doesn��t dare to kill you?�� Head Elder also flew into a great rage.


    But Ye Yuan smiled brightly and said disdainfully, ��Tsk tsk, turns out that Head Elder still knows that it��s a terrible disaster huh! Since it��s a terrible calamity, what have you all done these few years? Mn? Sent the sect��s most talented disciple in alchemy onto the enemy��s bed! Made the elder with the strongest combat power in the sect heartbroken and break his sword! Heh, are you all our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elders, or that Pill Alliance��s elders?��


    ��An enemy is invading, you guys don��t think to unite against outsiders, but you exhausted your abilities and means against your own people! Head Elder, let me ask you, do you know how many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses the Pill Alliance has? Do you know how many grade four heavenly alchemists the Pill Alliance has? Do you know which are the Pill Alliance��s forces? Huhu, looking at your expression, you don��t know! You, you all! Can��t even figure out your opponent��s exact details, but you only know to exhaust your abilities to deal with your own people! Scolding you all trash is thinking highly of you all!��


    Ye Yuan was stern in voice and countenance, stating the painful aspect in grief, his fingers almost pointing at Head Elder��s nose and making the group of elders lower their heads dejectedly.


    Yes, they did not know how strong the Pill Alliance was at all!


    The Pill Alliance��s boycott came very suddenly.


    Then the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect discovered that they could not purchase heavenly medicines and heavenly pills anymore.


    Their original channels for purchasing heavenly medicines and heavenly pills had all disappeared.


    Feng Xuanyi had also thought of various methods for this, but it was to no avail.


    As a result, the Pill Alliance��s mysteriousness and power became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


    But, being pointed out by Ye Yuan at this time, many people��s faces turned red with embarrassment.


    Indeed, they had done nothing in these past 20 years!


    Ye Yuan looked at the Shi Feiyu who was glaring at him and said with a sneer, ��What are you looking at? Not convinced? I��m scolding you!��


    Shi Feiyu answered back sarcastically, ��Huhu, you��re impressive! Having caused such a terrible disaster, you still dare to scold people here. You��re impressive! If you have the capability, resolve the sect��s crisis!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Wasn��t counting on you in the first place either! Other than ranting a few words and racking your brain to deal with your own people, you have no other capability either.��


    Done talking, he turned to Feng Xuanyi and said with cupped fists, ��Sect Master, since this matter was caused by Ye Yuan, then the deadlock will be broken by Ye Yuan! Leave this matter to me!��


    Feng Xuanyi smiled bitterly and said, ��This sect master knows that you��re amazingly talented, but your cultivation realm is too low. What can you do to a behemoth like the Pill Alliance? Forget it. This matter still needs to be discussed at length!��


    Ye Yuan scolding them was to give vent to his anger. But Feng Xuanyi felt that his blood was currently boiling with zeal.


    There was no need to come forward forcefully at this sort of time, and it was also impossible.


    How could a mere Ye Yuan be the Pill Alliance��s match?


    But Ye Yuan said, ��Sect Master, this Ye isn��t showing off momentary bravery! I��ll give the sect an explanation for this matter! But this Ye also needs the sect��s support! Give me 20 years, and I��ll break the situation of the Pill Alliance��s monopoly! In 20 years, not only will I break this deadlock, I��ll even return the sect a grade four heavenly alchemist! At that time, the sect won��t need to live at the whims of others too!��


    Ye Yuan��s words made Feng Xuanyi��s expression change slightly.


    But Head Elder smiled coldly and said, ��Bragging too hard! If you can��t do it, what will you do?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If I can��t do it, this Ye will commit suicide by cutting my throat to thank the sect!��

 Chapter 2618 - : I Really Don’t Know!

    Chapter 2618: I Really Don��t Know!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect was the central plains of the Five Light Heavenly Region and also the spiritual leader of the five great heavenly sects.


    None other than because the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect produced Zhuo Bufan who was eminent above all others!


    It was not long ago that the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect was infinitely glorious, suppressing the Rainclear Continent.


    Although they had already declined now, they were still much stronger than the other four sects.


    The Fire Peace Great Nation was one of the nine major great nations under the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s jurisdiction. Its status was extremely high.


    ��Brother Ye, the Pill Alliance has talented people lying in concealment. Is it really okay for you to do this? I heard that in the Pill Alliance, there is no lack of some powerhouses who��re capable of refining heavenly imperial pills! Even if none of them is your match in the same realm, but if they send grade three, or even grade four heavenly alchemists over, what will you do?��


    ��I��m afraid that they won��t come! Brother Luo, don��t worry. You just have to care about being a hired thug will do.��


    ���� ����


    ��Do it then!��


    ���� alright!��


    Whoosh!


    A ray of sword light flashed past, the Pill Verdant Establishment��s signboard was directly divided into two, falling to the ground with a clang.


    This action immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.


    These two people were precisely the Ye Yuan and Luo Yunqing who came from afar.


    This Pill Verdant Establishment in front of them was a branch that the Pill Alliance set up in the Fire Peace Great Nation, which specialized in selling heavenly pills.


    With the support of the Pill Alliance, this Pill Verdant Establishment��s business was naturally doing incomparably well.


    The Pill Alliance��s power and influence were like a golden signboard, especially within the five great heavenly sects�� sphere of influence, making all cultivators flock to it like ducks.


    The Pill Alliance��s products were definitely top quality goods!


    But the Pill Alliance��s heavenly pills were also extremely expensive.


    The Pill Alliance��s heavenly pill business within the boundaries of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect had practically all fallen into a stagnant state.


    But they were still operating in the other four sects.


    Feng Xuanyi had once attempted to come to the four great heavenly sects to purchase heavenly pills and heavenly medicines, but distant water could not quench present thirst.


    It was also impossible for the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to run to the four great heavenly sects to rob heavenly pills.


    Eight years had already passed since Ye Yuan��s oath.


    In these eight years, Ye Yuan had been in closed-seclusion all along, only leaving seclusion today. Bringing Luo Yunqing, he came to Fire Peace Great Nation.


    During these eight years, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect virtually used the entire sect��s strength to support Ye Yuan to practice heavenly pills.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was one of the five great heavenly sects at any rate. Even if the Pill Alliance boycotted them, it was also impossible that there was no inventory at all.


    Moreover, what Ye Yuan needed to cultivate were just grade two heavenly medicines.


    This Pill Verdant Establishment was an important stronghold of the Pill Alliance in the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect.


    Furthermore, when Feng Xuanyi sent people to request for pills back then, the attitude of this Pill Verdant Establishment��s establishment lord, Feng Jing, was also the worst.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s first stop was to come here.


    ��Who is this kid, to actually dare smash the Pill Verdant Establishment��s signboard? Did he eat a bear��s heart or a leopard��s gall?��


    ��Heh, didn��t you make it out? This boy definitely came to smash the place!��


    ��This boy is crazy, right? Master Feng is from the Pill Alliance. His alchemy path strength is exceedingly formidable. Yet this boy actually dares to come and smash the place? Heh heh, he��ll probably be unable to bear the consequences of failure!��


    ��Look at the attire he��s wearing. He should be the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciple, right? The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was boycotted by the Pill Alliance. Did he come to win back face?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan two people��s actions immediately caused a commotion.


    They did not hide their tracks and wore the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s attire.


    Ye Yuan wanted everyone to know that the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect had declared war on the Pill Alliance!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Seven to eight Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses dashed out of the Pill Verdant Establishment and surrounded Ye Yuan two people.


    One of them said sternly, ��To dare tear down the Pill Verdant Establishment��s signboard, courting death!��


    Luo Yunqing was unmoved, the Jade Sovereign Heaven aura on his body suddenly blooming.


    ��Get lost!��


    The expressions of these Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses changed drastically, but they still refused to give in.


    That Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum in front said in a solemn voice, ��Your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect dare to cause trouble on the Pill Alliance��s territory? Could it be you think that by destroying the Pill Verdant Establishment, it can relieve the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s crisis? A fool��s talk!��


    Although he was surprised at Luo Yunqing��s strength, he did not care.


    Experts were plentiful like clouds in the Pill Alliance. Jade Sovereign Heavens were nothing!


    Luo Yunqing said indifferently, ��Today, our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is declaring war on the Pill Alliance! Have Feng Jing come out!��


    That person��s expression changed slightly and he said with a frown, ��You��re the Jade Face Swordsman, Luo Yunqing, right? Didn��t hear that you become a grade four heavenly alchemist!��


    Luo Yunqing��s fame spread far and wide, and he carried a sword on his back. It was clear at a glance.


    It was just that the words of the person at the foremost implied sarcastically.


    Luo Yunqing was indifferent. Pointing at Ye Yuan, he said coolly, ��Not me, it��s him!��


    The person in the foremost was stunned, then immediately snickered and said, ��Him? A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum came to challenge Master Feng? Your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect probably has no one who can be used, right?��


    Not just him, a wave of ridiculing voices immediately came over from the surrounding onlookers.


    ��Martial Secure Heavenly Sect actually sent a grade two heavenly alchemist to challenge the place? Is this trying to make people laugh their heads off?��


    ��Heh, this guy probably doesn��t know Master Feng��s terror, right? Being able to hold down the fort in the nine great nations, Master Feng��s strength is among the top in the Pill Alliance too!��


    ��Tsk tsk, looks like the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is taking desperate measures after being cornered this time!


    �� ��


    And right at this time, a middle-aged man in white robes walked out slowly.


    Seeing him, those onlookers greeted one after another.


    ��Paying respects to Master Feng!��


    This person was Feng Jing. Clearly. His prestige in Fire Peace Great Nation was extremely high!


    Feng Jing just waved his hand nonchalantly, and it was considered to have returned the greeting.


    Very clearly, he was already used to this sort of acclamation.


    Feng Jing��s gaze landed on Ye Yuan and he said coolly, ��Does your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect have nobody you can use? To send someone like you to intentionally come and humiliate me?��


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��That��s right. It��s to come to humiliate you! Of course, you��re just the appetizer! Later, the nine great nations�� establishment lords will all be humiliated!��


    Feng Jing chuckled and said, ��What high-sounding sentiments!��


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, ��Whether or not it��s high-sounding sentiments, you��ll know in a while.��


    Feng Jing smiled coldly and said, ��Just the likes of you, this grade two heavenly alchemist, you��re also worthy of competing in alchemy against me?��


    At this time, the sword intent on Luo Yunqing��s body rose with a loud bang and he said coolly, ��If you don��t fight, die!��


    Feng Jing��s expression changed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, ��You dare to kill me?��


    Luo Yunqing gave him an indifferent glance and said with a smile, ��You can try!��


    A threat! This was a blatant threat!


    The surrounding onlookers all sucked in a cold breath. They had never seen before such an alchemy battle.


    Luo Yunqing��s sword intent was akin to the piercing cold gale, wandering around Feng Jing.


    Feng Jing was helpless and could only grit his teeth and said, ��Fine, I��ll fight! Since you guys are wholeheartedly seeking humiliation, I��ll sweep away your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s face today!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Stop posturing! Choose the heavenly pill! You pick the heavenly pill, but I advise that you��d best pick a harder one. If it��s basic grade two heavenly pills, you��ll die very horribly.��


    Feng Jing could not help choking, feeling an intense humiliation!


    This punk really slapped the face when hitting people!


    Except, your strength had best be worthy of this arrogance!


    Feng Jing sneered and said, ��Fine, then I��ll choose the Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill! Don��t tell me that you don��t know how to refine!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your Pill Alliance really has quite a number of pill formulas. I really don��t know this heavenly pill.. So hand over the pill formula for me to take a look.��

 Chapter 2619 - : Resign to Your Fate!

    ��What? Never refined before and he also dares to come out and posture? Isn��t he scared of being struck by lightning?��


    ��Is the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect going to become the laughingstock of the whole world? This boy is also too ridiculous.��


    ��Haha, looks like this kid came to amuse everyone. It��s not bad either!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately attracted a burst of ridicule.


    In reality, Ye Yuan had indeed never refined the Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill before.


    In these eight years, he had been cultivating grade two basic heavenly pills as usual.


    However, Ye Yuan already laid down a solid foundation in terms of grade one heavenly pills.


    When he cultivated grade two basic heavenly pills, it clearly went much faster than during grade one heavenly pills.


    Furthermore, after Ye Yuan refined a grand completion level grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, it indeed similarly had a miraculous effect, making his affinity increase to ten points all of a sudden!


    From four points to ten points, this was a huge leap.


    To Ye Yuan, the strength increment brought by this increase in six points was unimaginable.


    The higher the heavenly pill��s grade, the higher the requirement of affinity naturally.


    If he remained four points always, then the road in the future would naturally be difficult for Ye Yuan.


    Perhaps he could become strong, but it would definitely be impossible to rampage in all directions.


    Fortunately, the results were pretty good.


    Feng Jing was also slightly stunned, then he immediately sneered and said, ��Is that so? Then, wonder what pill formula will you use to bet with me? Don��t use those pill formulas of your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. Those were all brought over by our Pill Alliance. If you can��t take one out, please go back!��


    Feng Jing��s attitude was as domineering as before.


    Members of the Pill Alliance all had this sort of superior mentality. Even if the widely-renown Luo Yunqing was present, he did not care either.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Dustfall Heavenly Pill, I believe that your Pill Alliance should be interested, right?��


    Sure enough, Feng Jing��s pupils constricted when he heard that and cried out in surprise, ��Dustfall Heavenly Pill! You �� You actually have the Dustfall Heavenly Pill!��


    It was not up to Feng Jing to not be surprised. This Dustfall Heavenly Pill was an ancient pill formula, being stored in Zhong Jianchou��s jade slip.


    This pill formula was a type of grade two heavenly imperial pill!


    Hence, that was why Feng Jing would be so surprised.


    After Ye Yuan broke through, he did not have time to unlock the contents behind the jade slips yet.


    But this Dustfall Heavenly Pill was in the previously unlocked content. It was a very valuable kind of pill formula.


    Ye Yuan took a piece of jade slip out and directly threw it to Feng Jing.


    After Feng Jing looked, his expression could not help changing greatly.


    Very clearly, he had verified the authenticity of this pill formula.


    Of course, there were only the heavenly medicines that the Dustfall Heavenly Pill required in the jade slip. As for the specifics of how to refine it, it was all hidden by Ye Yuan.


    On Rainclear Continent, alchemy battles between heavenly alchemists would be held under a fair premise.


    If the one party did not have the pill formula taken out by the other party, then they also needed to provide a pill formula as an exchange.


    Of course, the prerequisite was that they won.


    If Feng Jing lost, this Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill would be equivalent to being given to Ye Yuan on a silver platter.


    And Ye Yuan did not need to take the Dustfall Heavenly Pill out either.


    The alchemy battle with Qin Shun previously, that was originally the sect��s internal alchemy battle. There were naturally not so many rules.


    But now, Ye Yuan publicly challenged Feng Jing, then he would have to follow the rules.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How would I dare to come and challenge without some goods?��


    But a hint of greed flashed across in Feng Jing��s eyes and he said with a cold smile, ��If Heaven bestows it and you don��t take it, you��ll definitely be condemned by the heavens! Since you��re in a hurry to give such a precious pill formula, then does this Feng have a reason to not want it? This Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill��s pill formula, take it!��


    As he said, Feng Jing likewise threw out a piece of jade slip.


    After Ye Yuan got it, he began to digest it on the spot.


    While on the Pill Verdant Establishment��s side, they also started preparing matters related to the alchemy battle during this period.


    Seeing this scene, Luo Yunqing was speechless for a while too.


    This guy had always been learning on the spot when competing in alchemy!


    The key was that his ability to learn on the spot was extremely strong!


    Clearly never refined before, but the quality of the heavenly pill produced was surprisingly high.


    It was just that, did not know whether he could still rampage in all directions like before when refining grade two heavenly pills after he broke through.


    After all, grade two heavenly pills were undoubtedly far more complicated and difficult to understand when compared to grade one heavenly pills.


    Six hours later, Ye Yuan finished deducing.


    Feng Jing looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Boy, making a frantic last-minute effort and you want to win my Pill Alliance? You��re too naive! This Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill, even if this Feng performs below usual standards, I can reach sixth grade too! If I perform exceptionally well, heh heh, upper eighth grade is nothing difficult! Boy, resign to your fate!��


    Feng Jing��s words immediately attracted a burst of exclamation.


    Even if it was a grade three heavenly alchemist, being able to refine a grade two heavenly pill to the realm of upper eighth grade, it was absolutely extremely rare!


    Especially that the difficulty of this Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill was not an ordinary kind of hard.


    Even Ye Yuan was a little surprised too.


    The other party dared to say this, he was probably not bragging.


    Furthermore, he let the other party choose the heavenly pill, the other party definitely picked what he was best at.


    Very clearly, this Feng Jing was god knows how many times stronger than that dabbler Qin Shun.


    Being able to hold down the fort in a region, Feng Jing��s strength was indeed not what Qin Shun, that sort of guy who did things carelessly, could compare to.


    Even Luo Yunqing, a hint of surprise flashed across in his eyes too. Clearly, he was shocked.


    Upper eighth grade, it was not easy to reach!


    He felt that if Feng Jing could refine sixth grade or seventh grade, Ye Yuan still had the strength to fight.


    But if it reached eighth grade, probably even Ye Yuan would feel anxious too!


    However, Ye Yuan did not care and said coolly, ��Begin then. Talk so much crap.��


    Feng Jing��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you��ll be crying in a while!��


    The two people each arrived in front of a medicine cauldron. Feng Jing assumed his responsibility and directly started extracting the heavenly medicines.


    That natural and smooth process made people dazzled for a while.


    Even Ye Yuan also could not help having higher regard for the other party.


    This Feng Jing really had the skills!


    This Pill Alliance was not simple!


    Just based on Feng Jing��s strength, Ye Yuan estimated that this Pill Alliance��s pill refining standard might be more than 100 times stronger than the outside world!


    However, he did not care either.


    This alchemy battle was just the start of his colossal plan.


    If he lost here, then he might as well find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    Ye Yuan restrained his mind and started refining the heavenly pill.


    However, the moment he took action, it immediately attracted a series of snickering.


    ��This boy is indeed a joker! This affinity probably doesn��t exceed ten points, right?��


    ��Haha, look at Master Feng there again, his affinity is at least 50 plus! Just this affinity, there��s no comparison between the two, right?��


    ��I understand, this boy probably thinks that heavenly alchemists fighting in alchemy are still the same as in the Lower Realms! Hahaha ����


    �� ��


    This was something within reason, Ye Yuan��s greatest shortcoming was affinity.


    Sure enough, he became the object of ridicule now too.


    Affinity determined the limit that a heavenly alchemist could reach.


    Therefore, using affinity to judge a heavenly alchemist��s strength was acceptable!


    But clearly, this did not apply to Ye Yuan.


    But very soon, those people could not laugh anymore.


    The heavenly medicines that Ye Yuan extracted were crystal clear, without any flaws. It was actually not the least bit inferior to Feng Jing��s!

 Chapter 2620 - : Pill Pavilion!

    The pill refinement was in progress.


    After experiencing the initial choppiness, Ye Yuan��s condition got better and better.


    In terms of essence, there was not much difference between grade two heavenly pills and grade one heavenly pills.


    It was merely going from simple to complex.


    Of course, there were not many who could understand this point.


    Not that they did not want to, but that they could not.


    But without a doubt, Feng Jing��s foundation skills were extremely solid.


    Even if he did not comprehend the essence of pill refinement, based on the strength of a grade three heavenly alchemist, it was still very easy to refine a grade two heavenly pill.


    But Ye Yuan��s strength was not the least bit inferior to him!


    It was very hard for people to imagine. A guy whose affinity was only ten points; how could he bring to people such a dazzling refinement.


    The refinement ended. Feng Jing thought that he could draw a round of applause.


    However, he did not.


    Feeling everyone��s somewhat strange gazes, he could not help looking toward Ye Yuan rather surprisedly.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan was currently calm and relaxed.


    Could it be that this boy��s refinement was very impressive? Shouldn��t be! Feng Jing thought in his heart.


    ��Open the furnace!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Feng Jing could not help laughing as he said, ��Really in a hurry to go and reincarnate! Forget it, I��ll make you give up!��


    The refinement this time, his condition was unprecedentedly good!


    He even wondered whether he could break through the shackles or not, and reach that legendary realm of ninth grade golden pill!


    Therefore, he did not feel that the Ye Yuan who was refining for the first time could match up to him.


    The moment the medicine cauldron opened, a dark-red medicinal pill flew into the container.


    People craned their necks one after another, wanting to see the quality of the heavenly pill.


    ��You all, look! There��s actually a hint of golden color on this Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill!��


    ��Almost! Almost and it would have advanced to the legendary realm of ninth grade!��


    ��Master Feng is Master Feng, under the heavy pressure, he broke through the shackles instead!��


    �� ��


    The surrounding crowd immediately started boiling over.


    A hint of a smile appeared on Feng Jing��s face. This was the effect that he wanted!


    Not that he hungered for fame and reputation, but that he felt that people should flatter him in the first place.


    But what he wanted was this kind of heartfelt admiration!


    This was his glory and also the Pill Alliance��s glory!


    Feng Jing looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Did you see it, this hint of golden color? There��s already no need to test the grade of the heavenly pill, right?��


    A touch of gold in the dark-red, it indicated that the heavenly pill already reached the peak of eighth grade and was also not far away from ninth grade anymore.


    Of course, this narrow step was not easy to take.


    Ninth grade, that was a legendary realm, it was not something that could be entered as you wished.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No need, quasi-ninth grade.��


    Feng Jing could not help laughing as he said, ��Looks like you��re not worried at all!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What do I have to worry about? It��s merely quasi-ninth grade.��


    Feng Jing seemed to have heard the funniest joke and said, ��Merely! Quasi-ninth grade! Heh, what high-sounding sentiments! You probably completely don��t know what ninth grade means, right?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��To me, those lower than ninth grade are all trash! If it doesn��t enter ninth grade when refining pills, still refine pills for what? Did your Pill Alliance groom only trash like you? Clearly didn��t reach ninth-grade, but you��re proud of it, huhu.��


    ��Hiss ����


    These words were domineering!


    One sentence degraded the Pill Alliance to nothing.


    Everyone was stunned by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Although your refinement was very impressive too, these words were too much, right?


    Posturing had to have a limit too!


    Sure enough, Feng Jing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha �� Boy, I��m somewhat doubtful now, whether you know how to refine pills or not! Ninth grade, that��s a legendary grade. When it comes out of your mouth, it becomes the lowest threshold? Alright. Stop talking big. I really want to see your ninth grade golden pill!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��As you wish��


    It was only to see him flip his palm over. A Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill flew out.


    A dazzling golden light shone until everyone could not open their eyes.


    Ninth grade golden pill!


    The crowd instantly exploded!


    This guy really refined a ninth grade golden pill!


    Feng Jing was still harboring the mentality of watching a good show a second ago. But in the next instant, his entire person was stupefied there.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Jing and said coolly, ��My Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill doesn��t need to be tested anymore either, right? Uh �� You��re indeed much stronger than Qin Shun that fellow. I was still counting on you to give me a bit of surprise. But I didn��t expect that you haven��t even entered ninth grade yet, and you were already patting yourself on the back. That��s also all there is to you then.��


    Feng Jing looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked face and muttered, ��This �� How is this possible? Isn��t it your first time refining? Y-You��re actually able to refine a ninth grade Greenfeather Point Star Heavenly Pill! You tricked me!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Tricked you? Do you feel that I have a need to trick you? This is my first time refining. Of course, it��s also the most rubbish refinement. If you��re not convinced, let��s compete again. I dare guarantee that you��ll be beaten down very hard!��


    Feng Jing gritted his teeth and said, ��Compete then! I don��t believe that you can really hit the jackpot and be so lucky every time!��


    He was unresigned!


    As a Pill Alliance��s powerhouse, how could he possibly lose to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s trash?


    He could not lose and could not afford to lose as well!


    He came to challenge the dojo, if he were to lose, where would the Pill Alliance��s face go?


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, ��Then don��t waste time anymore, begin then.��


    He was deliberately triggering Feng Jing, making him do it again.


    Slapping face had to be slapped thoroughly!


    One time could still say that it was by chance.


    But the second time, you would have nothing to say, right?


    The second refinement, Ye Yuan was even more accomplished with high proficiency.


    The choppiness from before had long already disappeared.


    On the other hand, Feng Jing��s mentality had already been affected after his first miserable defeat.


    The second refinement ended. The quality of Feng Jing��s heavenly pill was only lower eighth grade.


    However, the moment Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill came out of the furnace, the light radiated even stronger.


    After testing it, Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill reached upper ninth grade!


    One was improving, the other was regressing.


    Whoever was stronger and weaker was clear at a glance!


    With this, the powerhouses of Fire Peace Great Nation were completely shocked.


    An unknown Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually completely defeated the Pill Alliance powerhouse Feng Jing who had already become famous for a long time.


    This conclusion was what everyone could not have imagined previously.


    Ye Yuan looked at the downcast Feng Jing and said coolly, ��You don��t need to feel pessimistic either. Because very soon, the nine great nations�� Pill Alliance strongholds will be trampled underfoot by me! Doesn��t your Pill Alliance like to trample on people? Then I��ll also make you all savor the taste of being trampled!��


    Luo Yunqing felt refreshed!


    During these 20 years, they had had enough of the cowardly spirit!


    Today, they finally regained face!


    Ye Yuan raised his head and swept across everyone��s faces and said coolly, ��Our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has already established the Pill Pavilion. Friends who have aspirations in Alchemy Dao can all join the Pill Pavilion! We recruit disciples regardless of faction or talent! Furthermore, we won��t force you to join the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! If you feel that you have gotten somewhere with what you learned, you can return to your original faction any time! From now on, our Pill Pavilion��s aim will be to break the Pill Alliance��s monopoly, and let everyone be able to learn alchemy!��


    Ye Yuan��s words echoed loudly, evoking a huge response in the crowd.


    The Pill Alliance��s monopoly on Alchemy Dao not only held back the Five Light Heavenly Region��s five great heavenly sects, but it also greatly impeded the other four great heavenly regions�� various major sects.


    But Ye Yuan��s action was tantamount to reducing the Pill Alliance��s advantage until nothing was left!


    It was just that, would the Pill Alliance take things lying down?

 Chapter 2621 - Holy Son Arrives

    On a long path of the street, an old man and a youth were walking slowly.


    One could tell that the blue-robed youth walking in front was very haughty.


    Suddenly, a talisman appeared out of thin air. The old man reached his hand out to seize, grabbing the talisman in his hand.


    Browsing entirely the contents of the talisman, the old man��s brows knitted together tightly.


    The young man said indifferently, ��Why? Lost again?��


    The old man nodded slightly and said, ��This is already the 17th match! Even Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s Qian Yao Great Nation��s Mu Lianqing was defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands. He��s an existence who fought with you for the position of holy son back then!��


    The young man said disdainfully, ��Humph, what does Mu Lianqing count as? What you��re talking about is just something back then. Now, he isn��t even worthy of carrying my shoes!��


    The old man said, ��True! Lord Holy Son is a candidate for the next alliance chief. How can you be what Mu Lianqing can compare to? It��s just that this Ye Yuan can��t be underestimated!��


    Mentioning Ye Yuan, the young man was similarly disdainful as he said, ��If he didn��t have some skill, the alliance chief wouldn��t have sent this holy son over too! However, no matter how monstrous he is, he��s still not worth mentioning in front of my Pill Alliance. Let him be smug for a few days first. After this holy son grinds down his spirit, those despicable ascenders will know who is the Rainclear Continent��s true ruler!��


    Three months had already passed since Ye Yuan caused a disturbance at Pill Verdant Establishment.


    In these three months, Ye Yuan challenged 17 of the Pill Alliance��s strongholds in a row and consecutively defeated 17 of the Pill Alliance��s alchemy path experts.


    The five great heavenly sects were in a huge stir!


    Especially Qian Yao Great Nation��s Mu Lianqing, he refined a middle ninth grade golden pill, but he was still suppressed by Ye Yuan!


    Originally, when Ye Yuan threw out the name of Pill Pavilion in Fire Peace Great Nation, people were all still indifferent to it.


    But now, the name of Pill Pavilion already reverberated throughout the Five Light Heavenly Region.


    The various major factions sent disciples with aptitude to Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Pill Pavilion one after another to cultivate Alchemy Dao.


    Five Light Heavenly Region��s five great heavenly sects were virtually all ascenders. Those capable of becoming heavenly alchemists could be counted on one��s fingers.


    Hence, the five great heavenly sects�� reliance on the Pill Alliance was especially so.


    With the Pill Alliance carrying out a boycott against the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, the other four sects naturally had a feeling of the fox mourning the death of a rabbit.


    But the more it was so, the more they did not dare to offend the Pill Alliance.


    However, the appearance of the Pill Pavilion completely changed this situation.


    Ye Yuan already used his strength to prove to the world that the Pill Pavilion��s strength was not the least bit inferior to the Pill Alliance!


    It was even stronger!


    At least, up until now, no one in the Pill Alliance could win him!


    With regards to this kind of sensational effect, it was naturally impossible for the Pill Alliance to resign themselves to death.


    Hence, they sent out Cang Yongning who was this blue-robed youth.


    He was the Pill Alliance��s holy son and also the strongest alchemy path powerhouse of the junior generation!


    The Pill Alliance had always been mysterious. Nobody knew just how strong the Pill Alliance was.


    And the Pill Alliance sent out Cang Yongning this time. Firstly, it was in order to strike Ye Yuan down, while secondly, it was in order to demonstrate their strength!


    The old man nodded and said, ��That��s of course! No matter how monstrous this boy is, he��s naturally too weak to stand up to the competition in front of Holy Son! Our Pill Alliance has always been low-key. It��s also time to let Rainclear Continent know our Pill Alliance��s strength!��


    Cang Yongning smiled slightly and said, ��Where��s that punk now?��


    The old man said, ��Cloudarch Great Nation!��


    Cang Yongning nodded his head and said, ��Mn, it��s already not far from here. Let��s go!��


    �� ��


    In Cloud Leisure Establishment, Kan Feihong was anxious like an ant on a hot pan.


    He paced back and forth, cold sweat already pouring profusely on his forehead.


    By the side, Establishment Lord Sun Xu also had a solemn look.


    ��Is there no news from Lord Holy Son yet? That Ye Yuan has already entered the city. What should we do?�� Kan Feihong said anxiously.


    The defeat of Qian Yao Great Nation��s Mu Lianqing completely shattered Kan Feihong��s fantasy.


    He knew that Mu Lianqing was an existence on par with the holy son!


    Although he was defeated in the end, his strength could not be ignored by anyone.


    However, even such an existence was defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands, how could he be a match?


    Sun Xu shook his head and said, ��How can Lord Holy Son��s whereabouts be what we can grasp? However, I reckon that he shouldn��t be too far away anymore, right? Maybe he��s already on the way to Cloud Leisure Establishment! After all, even Mu Lianqing was defeated. If Lord Holy Son still doesn��t appear, our Pill Alliance��s face will have nowhere to put!��


    Kan Feihong said angrily, ��By the time Lord Holy Son comes over, the flowers would have turned yellow!��


    Boom!


    Right at this time, a loud noise came from outside.


    No need to guess, it must be that Ye Yuan had arrived.


    Whenever they reached a place, Luo Yunqing would directly tear down the signboard, without exception!


    At least up to this point, there was no one in the Pill Alliance who could win back this face.


    Mu Lianqing was also very domineering back then. But he suffered a crushing defeat and was ashamed and resentful.


    Kan Feihong��s expression changed and he said, ��Damn it, that brat is here! What to do? Fight, we will definitely lose. Not fighting, it��s shameful! Alas!��


    Seeing Kan Feihong sigh heavily, Sun Xu also had a helpless look.


    He understood Kan Feihong very well.


    Kan Feihong was not like this originally. Before Ye Yuan challenged Mu Lianqing, he even pledged in all solemnity that he would definitely stop Ye Yuan��s footsteps of continuous victories.


    But now, he did not dare to say it anymore.


    Sun Xu heaved a sigh and said, ��No matter what, go out first! Even if our Pill Alliance loses, we can��t be cowardly turtles too!��


    Kan Feihong had a bitter face and nodded his head.


    Outside Cloud Leisure Establishment, it was already seething with excitement.


    Martial Secure Heavenly Sect produced an alchemy path expert who beat the Pill Alliance to the ground.


    This matter had long already spread throughout Cloudarch Great Nation.


    The people had long already heard of Ye Yuan��s great name. Upon seeing him today, he was indeed extraordinary.


    ��Heh, I even thought that it was boasting previously. Looking at it now, the rumors are true! Cloud Leisure Establishment��s Master Kan Feihong is actually scared until he doesn��t dare to come out!��


    ��This Ye Yuan is really too formidable, fortifying the spirits of us ascenders!��


    ��Every day they talked about how the Pill Alliance��s people are so formidable. Looking at it now, it��s also nothing more than this!��


    �� ��


    Seeing that Cloud Leisure Establishment��s front door was tightly shut and no one dared to come out, the people were all snickering without ceasing.


    It was also no wonder that these people exclaimed in surprise. It was undeniable that the Pill Alliance powerhouses that Ye Yuan challenged, they were all alchemy path powerhouses who garrisoned a region far and near!


    These people��s alchemy path strength was even stronger than the various major heavenly sect��s retainers.


    However, Ye Yuan could win 17 matches in a row. It was sufficient to prove how terrifying his strength was.


    Creak!


    Cloud Leisure Establishment��s front door was finally opened, revealing Kan Feihong and Sun Xu��s figures.


    Kan Feihong��s expression was slightly dark and he said to Ye Yuan, ��Punk, don��t be arrogant! My Pill Alliance has already sent out Lord Holy Son! Once he arrives, you��ll get it!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Kan Feihong and said with a faint smile, ��Why? Your Pill Alliance all became cowards and don��t even dare to accept the challenge anymore?��


    Seeing Kan Feihong��s being threatening in manner but inwardly shaky appearance, everyone was shocked.


    This guy who came from the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was really too strong! To actually scare Kan Feihong until he did not dare to make a move!


    One had to know, Kan Feihong��s alchemy path strength was extremely strong!


    It could be seen how great a deterrent Ye Yuan��s consecutive wins previously was!


    Kan Feihong��s expression was ugly to the extreme, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, I admit defeat! But don��t leave if you have the capability! When Holy Son comes, you��ll be embarrassed!��

 Chapter 2622 - True Grade!

    ��Uncle Wen!��


    ��Yes!��


    In the crowd, a fist shadow rumbled out. Kan Feihong was directly blasted into meat paste.


    By the side, Sun Xu��s expression suddenly changed, not understanding why.


    Everyone looked sideways. They saw an old man and a youth in the crowd.


    The young man walked out slowly and said with a cold snort, ��Surrendering without fighting, humiliating the Pill Alliance��s face, you deserve to die!��


    ��L-Lord Holy Son? Cloud Leisure Establishment��s Sun Xu pays respect to Lord Holy Son!�� Sun Xu��s expression changed slightly, already guessing Cang Yongning��s identity.


    Beside Ye Yuan, Luo Yunqing also had a solemn look as he said, ��That old man��s strength is quite strong. He��s a Jade Sovereign Heaven expert!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, paying no attention to it.


    Since it was an alchemy competition, he was not afraid that the Pill Alliance would cause problems.


    While killing people was easy, wanting to restore reputation was difficult.


    Wanting to win back face, the Pill Alliance would have to compete in alchemy honestly with him!


    Cang Yongning did not even look at Sun Xu, but he turned to Ye Yuan and said with contempt, ��The light of a firefly also dares to contend for glory with the bright moon! Brat, you dare to provoke my Pill Alliance, do you know the consequences?��


    The moment Cang Yongning took the stage, he gave people a powerful deterrence.


    That aura of looking down on everything made people give sidelong glances.


    Ye Yuan seemed to be an ant in his eyes.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Provoke the Pill Alliance? Huhu, do you want face or not? Your Pill Alliance boycotted my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect and forced Brother Luo to break his sword and lower his head, and coerced my disciple to become a furnace! But now, you want to make a false counter-charge, is your Pill Alliance all born under the year of the Dog?��


    Cang Yongning��s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, ��How razor-tongued and eloquent, boy, arrogance needs to be backed using strength! Otherwise, you��ll only become a laughingstock! Do you really think that by winning some trash, you have the qualifications to challenge the Pill Alliance?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��You��re associated with this trash, doesn��t that make you a trash too? So your Pill Alliance is a pile of garbage?��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately attracted a burst of laughter.


    Cang Yongning��s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, ��Punk, you��re very arrogant! Since you��re so arrogant, do you dare to bet your life or not?��


    ��What��s not ����


    ��No way!�� Ye Yuan spoke halfway and was interrupted by Luo Yunqing.


    Ye Yuan��s existence was the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s future hope, there must not be any accidents.


    This Holy Son gave him an extremely dangerous feeling. He could not watch Ye Yuan take the risk unfeelingly.


    It was not that he was not confident in Ye Yuan, but that he did not want Ye Yuan to take risks.


    Cang Yongning laughed mockingly and said, ��If you don��t dare, kneel down and admit fault!��


    ��Brother Luo, calm down. You don��t think that I wouldn��t even be able to win a trash, right?�� Ye Yuan gave Luo Yunqing a glance and said with a faint smile.


    Luo Yunqing��s brows furrowed slightly, but he was still not at ease.


    This young man was guarded by a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. He was definitely not an ordinary person in the Pill Alliance.


    With the Pill Alliance sending him here, they probably had the confidence that he would definitely win.


    Therefore, he had no choice but to be careful.


    Ye Yuan looked at Cang Yongning and said, ��I��ll bet with you!��


    Cang Yongning smiled and said, ��Okay, you and I draw up an origin divinity curse! The loser will die by origin divinity backlash!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��As you wish!��


    Luo Yunqing still wanted to say something, but Ye Yuan said, ��Brother Lou, shrinking back here, it will waste all the previous efforts! You wouldn��t think that the Pill Alliance really only had this sort of trash, right? Their strength is stronger than we imagine! Furthermore, only by defeating the holy son, can it demonstrate the Pill Pavilion��s might even more!��


    In reality, Ye Yuan had long felt it.


    The Pill Alliance was an extremely powerful organization. Their heavenly alchemists had gained knowledge on the essence of Alchemy Dao.


    In fact, it achieved the same wondrous effect with different means as his alchemy path.


    The opponents that Ye Yuan defeated along the way, their basic skills were all extremely solid and their strength was extremely formidable.


    And these were still merely just the heavenly alchemists garrisoning outside.


    Then how strong were the Pill Alliance��s internal heavenly alchemists?


    With Ye Yuan fighting all this way, it was in order to force out the Pill Alliance��s true strength.


    If they could not even see the opponent��s true strength, then this war need not be fought anymore too.


    Since this young man in front of him was able to become the holy son, his strength was naturally extraordinary.


    At least, it would definitely be much stronger than those before!


    Luo Yunqing��s expression flickered indeterminately and he could only say, ��Then you be careful!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, turned around, and set up an origin divinity curse with Cang Yongning!


    But after signing it, Cang Yongning laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, wait to suffer the origin divinity curse and die! You probably haven��t even figured out the grades of heavenly pills, right? The world only knows that heavenly pills are divided into nine grades, and grand completion ninth grade is the limit! But they don��t know that my Pill Alliance can refine even higher grade heavenly pills! Above ninth grade is true grade!��


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    Cang Yongning��s words immediately caused a huge response.


    They had never heard before that there was an even higher quality above ninth grade!


    Because no one had ever been able to refine it!


    Ninth grade was already a legendary grade in their mind, much less true grade that had never been heard of!


    ��True grade, what kind of grade is that?��


    ��Since the Pill Alliance��s holy son said so, doesn��t that mean that he can refine it?��


    ��It turns out that he dug a hole for Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    After the shock, people also understood one after another, the reason why Cang Yongning was betting his life with Ye Yuan.


    He was certain that Ye Yuan had never heard of true grade before. It was naturally even more impossible to refine true grade.


    As long as Ye Yuan signed an origin divinity curse with him, then Ye Yuan would die without a doubt!


    What a malicious guy!


    Luo Yunqing��s gaze turned sharp and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, you cheated!��


    Without another word, Luo Yunqing��s long sword was unsheathed and he rushed over.


    Uncle Wen gave a cold snort and slammed a fist out.


    Boom!


    With a collision, Luo Yunqing was actually shocked until he fell back.


    But Uncle Wen did not budge an inch!


    ��Jade Face Swordsman, indeed extraordinary! Blocked my punch and you can actually come out safe and sound!�� Uncle Wen praised.


    But Luo Yunqing��s expression was very ugly.


    This old man��s strength was extremely strong, he was not a match!


    ��Brother Luo, betting lives was something that both parties were willing to do in the first place! Since the origin divinity contract is already signed, let��s talk about it after fighting! Moreover, I believe that it isn��t such an easy thing for him to want to refine true grade either, right?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cang Yongning smiled and said, ��That��s right! Refining true grade can come by with luck but not by seeking it! In the Pill Alliance, many elders have refined true grade and they could only reach it one-in-ten as well. But my strength has already surpassed many elders! When I refine five times, there will be one time where it can reach the realm of true grade! Otherwise, how do you think I became the holy son?��


    True grade, this was an unfamiliar term to everyone.


    They had never heard of it before, let alone seen it.


    But without a doubt, this was definitely a realm that was out of reach.


    The Pill Alliance��s elders were at least grade four heavenly alchemists too!


    This kind of realm can only reach one-in-ten too; it could be seen how strong Cang Yongning��s strength was!


    Before this, Ye Yuan had never heard of this realm before as well.


    Even Zhong Jianchou��s jade slips did not have it.


    Clearly, Zhong Jianchou had never reached this realm before too.


    Ye Yuan��s heart sank slightly. This Pill Alliance��s background was deep beyond imagination.


    One could tell from Cang Yongning��s words that most likely, the vast majority of the Pill Alliance��s grade four heavenly alchemists, could reach the realm of true grade!

 Chapter 2623 - Peak Showdown!

    After the two decided on the pill formula, Cang Yongning said with a contemptuous look, ��This holy son will let you broaden your horizons today! I��ll make you understand what��s called a frog at the bottom of a well!��


    His words also made people realize the truly powerful aspect of the Pill Alliance, this faction.


    Ninth grade golden pills were already legends in the outside world.


    But the Pill Alliance could refine even rarer true grade heavenly pills!


    This disparity was too great!


    What Cang Yongning represented was just the tip of the iceberg of the Pill Alliance.


    He was just the holy son. Then what about the Pill Alliance��s elders?


    Also, what about the even stronger Alliance Chief?


    Unimaginable!


    Furthermore, the Pill Alliance practically monopolized Rainclear Continent��s heavenly medicines and heavenly pills. Then how many powerful martial artists had they groomed?


    Thinking about it like this, everyone could not help being fear-stricken!


    At the same time, they also silently mourned Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was indeed a genius who rose up like a comet, nobody could deny this.


    But what he did wrong was that he should not have provoked the Pill Alliance!


    Now, he ended up with the outcome of perishing and Dao dissipating.


    No one felt that Ye Yuan would win. This was because the outside world had never heard of true grade before.


    Never even heard of it before, so how to refine it?


    The moment Cang Yongning made a move, everyone��s expressions changed.


    His every action and conduct, every move and stance, carried the accumulations of Great Dao.


    The place where he stood, every inch of it formed a world of its own!


    And the aura radiating from his body quickly affected Ye Yuan.


    ��So strong! Is this the Pill Alliance��s true strength?��


    ��When Holy Son is refining pills, it��s completely different from ordinary heavenly alchemists! The relative superiority or inferiority can be distinguished in virtually one glance!��


    ��Such a refinement combines Dao into one! One pill, one world, it��s exhibited to the extreme in Holy Son��s hands! Looks like Ye Yuan really has no hope!��


    �� ��


    Alchemy battles between heavenly alchemists, sometimes, the relative superiority or inferiority could not be differentiated until the moment the quality was tested.


    But as soon as Cang Yongning made his move, everyone noticed the difference.


    Some people refined pills by intuition.


    Some people refined pills based on experience.


    But some people relied on powerful strength to refine pills!


    The vast majority of the heavenly alchemists in this world were the former two kinds.


    And the first two kinds of heavenly alchemists, no matter how sensitive your intuition was, no matter how experienced you were, there was also a feeling of groping for fish in muddied waters.


    It was merely a matter of knowing how to do something, but not understanding why.


    But the third kind of heavenly alchemist operated from a strategically advantageous position, with a definite target in mind.


    They rarely made mistakes when refining pills and the quality was extremely high.


    This kind of heavenly alchemist was like an extremely sophisticated instrument, each step of the pill refinement was carried out according to a set route.


    Such a refinement would not make any mistakes at all.


    Holy Son clearly belonged to this type of people.


    Ye Yuan also felt Cang Yongning��s power. It was just that he did not care.


    The stronger the opponent, the more it could stimulate his fighting spirit.


    He restrained his mind and cupped his fists. A Tai Chi diagram suddenly formed.


    A surge of Great Dao accumulations erupted vigorously, it actually pushed Holy Son��s Great Dao accumulations out!


    Cang Yongning already had no distractions in his heart. But being scoured by this power of Great Dao, he could not help being surprised in his heart.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s alchemy path strength was actually so strong.


    But when competing in alchemy, he had no time to spare for other things too.


    They were betting lives and could not crack any jokes.


    Hence, the two started an alchemy battle that left people dizzy.


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, it could not avoid arousing a wave of shock.


    They did not expect that what Holy Son could do, Ye Yuan could do it too!


    The two people��s alchemy battle was very anxious.


    No one could predict how the final result would be.


    This kind of alchemy battle did not have glints and flashes of cold steel, but people similarly felt the intensity.


    As if these two masters were currently going back and forth, fighting fiercely without ceasing.


    After several hours, the two people virtually finished refining at the same time.


    Holy Son��s gaze turned toward Ye Yuan, frowning slightly.


    This boy��s stubbornness somewhat exceeded his imagination.


    He was sure that his Alchemy Dao was definitely above Ye Yuan��s.


    But that was just because his cultivation realm was higher than Ye Yuan��s!


    Cang Yongning was a grade three heavenly alchemist!


    Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with this result.


    ��Open the furnace! Looking at your expression, true grade should be hopeless, right?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Cang Yongning��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, winning you don��t have to be true grade either! If you don��t reach grand completion ninth grade, you��ll likewise lose!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Oh, is that so? Then I��m afraid that I��ll have to disappoint you.��


    Cang Yongning said in a solemn voice, ��Open the furnace!��


    The two people��s divine essence shook, each opening their furnace.


    Two dazzling golden medicinal pills flew out, it naturally attracted a wave of exclamations.


    The moment they made their move, it was a ninth grade golden pill!


    These two people��s strength was really ridiculous.


    Disregarding the Pill Alliance��s holy son, being powerful was to be expected too.


    But they did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually not the slightest bit inferior when facing such a powerful opponent.


    Cang Yongning sneered and said, ��Boy, don��t be pleased with yourself too early! Even if it��s the same grand completion ninth grade, there are minute differences too! The result still needs to use the Cloud Mount Mother Stone to test before it can be confirmed! No need to doubt it. This holy son is definitely peak ninth grade, without the slightest flaw! As for you, heh heh ����


    Cang Yongning��s words had unfinished meaning, but the meaning was already very obvious.


    He completely did not believe that Ye Yuan��s medicinal pill could compare to his.


    The quality of heavenly pills, even if there was the slightest error, would have subtle differences.


    Pills were divided into nine grades. This was just a rough differentiation.


    In reality, even if similarly upper ninth grade, the quality of the medicinal pill still had minute differences.


    Normally, there naturally would not be anyone who would care about these minute differences.


    But, when two people��s strengths were extremely close, this trace of difference was of utmost importance.


    This kind of minute difference could not be felt. Only through a sophisticated treasure like the Cloud Mount Mother Stone, could it be discerned.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he just shrugged and said coolly, ��Since when did a trash can be so confident? Stop talking rubbish and appraise it!��


    Cang Yongning gave a cold snort and reached his hand out to beckon, and his heavenly pills arrived on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    The scales soared madly all the way until it rushed to the peak in the end and had no way of rising anymore!


    Buzz!


    There was an uproar from the crowd, they were all stunned by this scene.


    What did this show?


    This showed that Cang Yongning��s heavenly pill already reached the perfection of ninth grade!


    Just as he said, without the slightest flaws!


    ��It��s over! Holy Son won for sure with this!��


    ��At least, Holy Son is already established in an undefeatable position!��


    ��Ye Yuan can at most just tie with Holy Son. But, I reckon that it��s very hard! Holy Son��s strength is absolutely at peak ninth grade, and it��s even possible to refine true grade! But Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill likely still has a tiny trace of flaw!��


    �� ��


    Everyone shook their heads, knowing that the outcome was a foregone conclusion.


    This was competing against ninth grade perfection, unless Ye Yuan could refine true grade.


    Otherwise, he could at most fight to a draw.


    But how difficult was it to reach a draw?


    Cang Yongning gave a cold laugh and sent the Cloud Mount Mother Stone in front of Ye Yuan and said, ��Punk, it��s your turn! At the thought of you suffering the agony of the origin divinity curse, this holy son finds it very enjoyable right now! Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not talk nonsense either, sending his heavenly pill onto the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.

 Chapter 2624 - Evenly Matched!

    Chapter 2624: Evenly Matched!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The scale soared all the way, straight up to ninth grade!


    Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    Only two people were aloof and indifferent.


    One was Cang Yongning; a hint of an arch appeared at the corner of his mouth, already feeling certain that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to reach ninth grade perfection.


    While the other was Ye Yuan himself; it was as if nothing could move him.


    Or should one say, that was confidence.


    It was just that this confidence was so laughable when it landed in Cang Yongning��s eyes.


    Did this guy really think that ninth grade superlative was so easy to achieve?


    What kind of pain Cang Yongning himself experienced in the process of ninth grade to ninth grade, only he himself knew.


    Without endless tempering, without willpower and perseverance, it was simply impossible to achieve!


    How many complicated procedures were there in a pill refinement?


    If it really needed to be sorted it out in detail, that was absolutely an astronomical order of magnitude!


    Even if there was just a tiny trace of oversight, it would also make the quality unable to truly be consummated and reach perfection.


    Even in the Pill Alliance, there was also a sentence that was circulated.


    Ninth grade was easy; perfection was hard to seek!


    Even some senior elders found it very difficult to truly reach perfection too!


    It could be seen how difficult this step was!


    If not for this, he, Cang Yongning, would also have not been able to overpower all heroes and become the holy son!


    Therefore, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to reach perfection!


    The scale rose little by little. It reached grand completion ninth grade very quickly.


    This was also within reason.


    Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill could be discerned to be grand completion ninth grade using the naked eye.


    But, whether or not it could reach ninth grade perfection, this was the crux!


    As the scale continued rising continuously, approaching the peak bit by bit, the audience was silent.


    Cang Yongning smiled and said, ��Being able to reach this step, your strength is already very good! Of course, if not because of this, it would have been impossible for you to force this holy son out too!��


    Watching the scale approach perfection little by little, Cang Yongning was still talking in a jovial manner.


    But the scale did not have the intention of stopping. It still closed in on perfection bit by bit.


    Everyone��s hearts were pounding.


    There was only less than the distance of a fingernail to perfection.


    Could it reach perfection?


    At this time, even Cang Yongning��s breathing became somewhat uneven too.


    A thread away!


    The scale continued climbing and reached half a fingernail very soon.


    Then, it closed in on perfection little by little.


    Cang Yongning��s breathing became more and more labored along with the increase of the scale.


    ��Maxed!�� Right at the moment when the scale reached the limit, Luo Yunqing was the first to yell out.


    He should be the most worried among the audience.


    During this testing, he felt even more nervous than experiencing a great battle.


    The slightest difference determined Ye Yuan��s life and death!


    That instant when the scale reached the limit, Luo Yunqing felt his nerves that were tightly bound finally loosen.


    ��Ninth grade perfection! Ye Yuan also reached ninth grade perfection!��


    ��My God, he actually fought to a draw with the Pill Alliance��s holy son!��


    ��It turns out that Ye Yuan��s strength is actually so strong! No wonder he dares to set up the Pill Pavilion and contend with the Pill Alliance!��


    �� ��


    There was a series of exclamations all around, everyone was also extremely amazed.


    They did not understand alchemy, but this did not prevent them from knowing about the difficulty of ninth grade perfection.


    It could be said that for the scale on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone to reach the limit, this was originally something that was theoretical.


    During the complicated and elaborate refinement, who dared to guarantee that there would be no mistakes?


    The Pill Alliance��s Holy Son could do it, but that was because he was standing at the very summit of the Rainclear Continent��s alchemy path!


    He had the Pill Alliance��s deep legacy!


    He had endless heavenly medicines to practice!


    He had conditions that other heavenly alchemists were not equipped with!


    But Ye Yuan had nothing!


    He reached this step too!


    How could this not make people marvel?


    Cang Yongning��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    What right did this guy have?


    How much hardship had he suffered? How many trials had he gone through to reach this step himself?


    What right did this guy have to reach the sky in one step?


    The Pill Alliance had naturally investigated Ye Yuan before. Cang Yongning knew that the time Ye Yuan ascended had not been long!


    In fact, when this guy just ascended, his affinity was only one point!


    If not for this, he also would not have underestimated Ye Yuan so much.


    But what right did this guy have to reach ninth grade perfection in such a short time?


    No, it must be a fluke!


    Definitely a fluke!


    ��Lord Holy Son, this ninth grade perfection doesn��t seem to be so hard! You said it like flowers were cascading from the sky, saying to let me broaden my horizons. I was wondering how difficult it was!�� Ye Yuan looked at Cang Yongning and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Cang Yongning��s face turned black, instantly having a feeling like he had his face slapped.


    He postured too hard previously. Who knew that this guy was lucky and refined ninth grade perfection in one go?


    1


    He gave a cold snort and said in a solemn voice, ��Humph, just got lucky, that��s all! Do you think that you can reach ninth grade perfection each time? Furthermore, don��t you forget, this round is the heavenly pill of your choice! In the next round, I��ll choose! Let me tell you, refining grade two heavenly pills, ninth grade perfection is my bottom-line! Also, you have to prevent me from refining a true grade heavenly pill at any time!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, ��We��ll wait and see then! I want to see whether this ninth grade perfection is really that difficult or not.��


    Both were ninth grade perfection. They naturally could not differentiate the relative superiority or inferiority.


    The second round alchemy battle was naturally prepared ready very quickly.


    The first round was the pill formula that Ye Yuan picked.


    This round, it was Cang Yongning��s turn.


    Cang Yongning directly chose a heavenly imperial pill!


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Heaven Decree Ice Marrow Pill, it��s my Pill Alliance��s unique pill formula, it has never circulated in the outside world before. It should be your first time refining, right? This holy son wants to see whether you can still reach ninth grade perfection or not!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a faint smile, ��Another kind of heavenly imperial pill formula is it? Your Pill Alliance��s foundation is really deep enough! Thank you for your pill formula.��


    Cang Yongning sneered and said, ��You��ll be crying in a while.��


    A few hours later, the second round alchemy battle started again!


    Sure enough, it was still evenly matched in strength!


    This Heaven Decree Ice Marrow Pill, Ye Yuan refined it without the slightest sluggish feeling, as if he had gone through severe training.


    During these three months of alchemy battle, Ye Yuan was already very familiar with grade two heavenly pills.


    Whether or not it was the first time refining, it did not make a big difference to him.


    Actually, when Cang Yongning took out this heavenly imperial pill, he was not hoping that it could stump Ye Yuan all at once.


    He understood that for Ye Yuan to be able to refine ninth grade perfection, his understanding of Alchemy Dao was already tracing back to the source.


    A heavenly imperial pill was not enough to stump him.


    However, when tracing back to the source again, there were still many uncertain factors in an unfamiliar pill formula.


    As long as Ye Yuan��s foundation was the slightest bit not solid, flaws would occur.


    If flaws occurred, it would not be able to reach ninth grade perfection.


    This way, his victory would be within grasp!


    At this time, what they competed in was true strength!


    Refining a heavenly imperial pill, the two people��s commotion was greater than before.


    As intense as always!


    After a few hours, the two people finished refining.


    After opening the furnace, sure enough, it was both grand completion ninth grade again.


    This spectacular sight naturally attracted another wave of exclamations.


    This kind of pinnacle showdown was simply enjoyable to them.


    Cang Yongning was brimming with confidence, directly placing the heavenly pill onto the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    The scale reached its peak very quickly.


    Ninth grade perfection again!

 Chapter 2625 - : Fierce Battles!

    ��Ninth grade perfection again! Tied again!��


    ��Too strong! The two are both too strong!��


    ��When heavenly imperial pills reached their hands, it can actually reach ninth grade perfection too! Really too monstrous!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s heavenly imperial pill reached ninth grade perfection again. This made the whole audience seethe with excitement once more.


    They had never seen before such a fierce alchemy competition. The two people��s Alchemy Dao had both reached the extreme, there was no way of determining the victor at all.


    Bringing out a heavenly imperial pill now, the two people similarly reached ninth grade perfection!


    Especially that the Cloudarch Great Nation at this time, many ascender heavenly alchemists had already gathered.


    They were astonished by Ye Yuan��s performance!


    Cang Yongning was a native heavenly alchemist, his affinity even reached a horrifying 70 plus, his strength being powerful was within reason.


    But, as an ascender heavenly alchemist, Ye Yuan could actually contend with Cang Yongning this holy son with ten points affinity!


    How amazingly talented was that!


    Cang Yongning��s smugness had not lasted very long and his expression had already become very dark.


    Got slapped in the face again this time!


    The pill formula came from him. Furthermore, it was even a heavenly imperial pill, Ye Yuan definitely had not refined it before.


    But he still reached ninth grade perfection!


    He discovered that he severely underestimated Ye Yuan��s strength.


    This guy was likely not far away from true grade as well!


    Of course, Cang Yongning was clearly that ninth grade perfection to true grade, that was a great chasm!


    Even in the Pill Alliance, the elders capable of refining true grade were very few too.


    Ye Yuan being able to reach ninth grade perfection did not mean that he could refine true grade too.


    However, Cang Yongning also realized that ninth grade perfection was likely unable to defeat Ye Yuan anymore!


    Wanting to defeat Ye Yuan, there was only true grade!


    ��Lord Holy Son, the question that you asked is just so-so as well! Seems like reaching ninth grade perfection isn��t too difficult!�� Ye Yuan mocked.


    Cang Yongning calmed down instead at this time and said in a solemn voice, ��It��s your turn to pose the question!��


    Seeing Cang Yongning��s appearance, everyone was slightly somber in their hearts.


    They all realized that Cang Yongning was serious!


    Once Cang Yongning got serious, it meant that the chances of true grade appearing would probably greatly increase!


    Cang Yongning said it before that when he refined grade two heavenly pills, the probability of true grade was about one in five times!


    Now, two times had already passed, there were not many chances left for Ye Yuan anymore!


    Ye Yuan did not care and said with a faint smile, ��Uh, grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill then!��


    ��Grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! H-He��s mad, right?��


    ��Choosing this kind of basic heavenly pill, wouldn��t the probability of Holy Son reaching true grade be higher?��


    ��What��s Ye Yuan thinking, isn��t this digging his own grave?


    �� ��


    Those ascender heavenly alchemists directly burst into an uproar.


    If one had to say, they were the same as Ye Yuan, all ascenders. There was naturally a natural sense of closeness.


    If Ye Yuan could really win, the Pill Pavilion would be able to stand up to the Pill Alliance as an equal.


    Then, the springtime of them all, these ascender heavenly alchemists, would be here!


    But Ye Yuan actually dug his own grave now and ruined the Great Wall himself!


    Cang Yongning narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, ��Very good! Looks like you��re very confident in the grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill! Do you want to use the grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to break through to true grade?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Why? Can��t I?��


    Cang Yongning nodded slightly and said, ��Of course you can. However, you��ll have to hurry it up!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Mn, I��ll hurry up!��


    The third round began very soon.


    This time, it was even more thrilling!


    Cang Yongning said that he would reach true grade one out of five times.


    This did not mean that he would only refine a true grade on the fifth try.


    This was an issue of probability!


    A probability of one-in-five!


    This was also to say that Cang Yongning might be able to directly refine a true grade heavenly pill this time!


    After all, a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill this sort of basic heavenly pill, it was seriously too easy to Cang Yongning!


    The simpler, the higher the probability of refining true grade naturally.


    Refining a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the situation was far more intense than everyone imagined.


    The two people��s Alchemy Dao were virtually brought out to the extreme.


    That profound and inscrutable accumulations of Great Dao seemed to be like a splendid burst of martial techniques, clashing chaotically all around.


    While Cang Yongning��s Great Dao accumulations were incomparably powerful, Ye Yuan��s Great Dao accumulations were extremely solid!


    Refining a grade two basic heavenly pill, the two people clearly accomplished it with even greater ease and could put more energy on the other party.


    This battle dazzled everyone��s eyes.


    The refinement ended, the furnaces opened!


    Cang Yongning��s expression was very ugly.


    He failed!


    This guy was seriously too hard to deal with!


    Sure enough, the end result was still both ninth grade perfection!


    Unexpectedly, Cang Yongning also chose a grade two basic pill in the fourth round!


    But the two still drew a tie in the fourth round!


    Following which, the fifth round, sixth round, all the way until the 19th round, the two still only refined ninth grade perfection.


    Cang Yongning did not use a true grade heavenly pill to seal the victory like he said!


    A total of 19 rounds were carried out for half a month!


    The crowd in front of Cloud Leisure Establishment gathered more and more and was already densely packed.


    Many people even inquired and rushed over from various places.


    This kind of pinnacle alchemy battle already attracted more and more people��s attention.


    And at the scene, the people were almost asphyxiated by such fierce alchemy battles.


    Too nervous, too exciting!


    These two practically represented Rainclear Continent��s pinnacle-most alchemy path standard.


    When Cang Yongning brought out true grade this obstruction, everyone all thought that Ye Yuan would lose.


    But he persevered for a full 19 rounds!


    Ye Yuan��s stubbornness surpassed everyone��s imagination.


    This was a fierce battle. It was not just a test of strength; it was a test of character, spirit, and endurance!


    After half a month, this level of peak showdown, the two people��s minds were already tightly wound to the extreme.


    Even if Cang Yongning was a grade three heavenly alchemist and was much stronger to begin with, it was already more than he could bear.


    This alchemy battle had an even greater expenditure than experiencing a war unequaled by contemporaries!


    Since it was called an alchemy battle, the two people��s refinement, Great Dao accumulations, aura perception, all were crossing swords every hour and moment!


    He was somewhat unable to imagine how Ye Yuan persevered.


    Apart from the first round and second round, the remaining 17 rounds, the two people both chose grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    But no one broke through!


    The 19 rounds were tied without exception!


    After a bout of adjusting his breathing, Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��Huhu, you said one in five. Now, there have already been 19 matches, you haven��t even refined true grade once! The Pill Alliance��s Holy Son is merely thus!��


    Cang Yongning got serious, but he really could not do anything to Ye Yuan!


    He discovered that this guy was simply too difficult to deal with.


    Ye Yuan was like a perpetual motion machine. After fighting 19 consecutive matches, he could still keep up with his pace!


    Cang Yongning was very certain that Ye Yuan��s mind had already reached its limit.


    Because he, this grade three heavenly alchemist, the Pill Alliance�� holy son, had already reached his limit too!


    But he was just able to hold on.


    Cang Yongning had to admit that if it were him, he would not have been able to hold on!


    At this point, what they competed in was already not just strength, but even more of will!


    Whoever failed to persist first would be eliminated!

 Chapter 2626 - Whirlpool!

    Ye Yuan had to admit that Cang Yongning was the strongest opponent that he had encountered so far, not one of!


    Even the Medicine Ancestor back then was not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan too.


    Medicine Ancestor��s might was merely just because his cultivation realm was high, that was all.


    When Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm came up, he became too weak to stand up to the competition.


    But, regarding Cang Yongning��s might, that was a strength like a piece of steel that had been tempered a hundred times!


    The power of the Pill Alliance��s foundation exceeded Ye Yuan��s imagination.


    If one holy son was already like this, then how strong was the alchemy path strength of the Pill Alliance��s leader?


    Unimaginable!


    In terms of talent, in terms of strength, in terms of cultivation realm, Ye Yuan even lost by a hair!


    Even if it was the foundation that Ye Yuan had always been proudest of, Cang Yongning was extremely solid too.


    It might not be as good as Ye Yuan, but it would absolutely not go so far as to become a shortcoming!


    Such an opponent, it was far too difficult to want to beat him.


    But it was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan was even more eager to defeat the other party!


    If that Han Yi was his whetstone in Martial Dao, then this Cang Yongning was the best whetstone on his path of Alchemy Dao!


    In the current circumstances, it was simply impossible to determine the victor within ninth grade.


    Only whoever could break the shackles and reach true grade could win!


    Eight years of closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan had long detected that there was likely an even higher grade above ninth grade perfection.


    But this step was fleeting and ephemeral. He was separated by a layer of windowpane paper from this, but could not piece it all along.


    Ye Yuan had no succession of teachings from a teacher. With no foundation, he could only rely on his own fumbling.


    But Cang Yongning was the best whetstone that the Pill Alliance gave him!


    Therefore, he did his utmost to prevent Cang Yongning from refining true grade for now.


    While he himself also had to break the shackles amidst this tipping point!


    This alchemy battle could be said to be the most difficult battle on his path of alchemy!


    30 matches, tied!


    40 matches, tied!


    50 matches, still tied!


    In a blink, the two people had already been fighting fiercely for more than three months.


    Even those people who had been watching the battle from the start, could not quite hold on anymore.


    But the two people in the field were still fighting non-stop!


    Yes, this alchemy battle already evolved into a war!


    The outcome was this battle was too important!


    Regardless of whether it was Ye Yuan or Cang Yongning, neither could afford to lose!


    This alchemy battle already caused a great sensation in the Five Light Heavenly Region, even in the entire Rainclear Continent!


    Countless heavenly alchemists gathered at Cloudarch Great Nation.


    The five great heavenly sects�� sect masters were also all present at this time.


    Countless powerhouses�� gazes focused on a measly little Cloudarch Great Nation.


    Before this, even if Ye Yuan challenged 17 grandmasters in a row, these sect master overlords also did not feel that there was anything.


    In their view, that was merely Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s deathbed struggle.


    But, after three months, everyone��s views had changed.


    Because they all realized that this alchemy battle would probably affect the entire Rainclear Continent��s structure!


    If Ye Yuan won this battle, the Pill Pavilion would immediately become a superpower capable of contending with the Pill Alliance!


    Henceforth, ascenders did not need to be restricted by the Pill Alliance anymore!


    This battle held extraordinary significance!


    But the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan won!


    In the royal palace of Cloudarch Great Nation, the emperor could only wait outside Jinluan Hall.


    The sect masters of the five great heavenly sects were gathered here at this time!


    The five people��s gazes were staring at the light screen in front.


    What was displayed on the light screen was precisely the projection of Ye Yuan and Cang Yongning��s alchemy battle.


    Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s sect master, Ling Wancheng could not resist exclaiming, ��Feng Xuanyi, I didn��t expect that your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect actually produced such a rare prodigy! If he wins this battle, Ye Yuan��s name can likely be on par with Lord Zhuo Bufan!��


    Xingyun Heavenly Sect��s sect master, Hua Ziyou nodded in agreement and said, ��After Lord Zhuo Bufan, our five great heavenly sects met with hindrance everywhere and were powerless to support the frontiers. The biggest reason is this heavenly pill! If the momentum of the Pill Pavilion is formed, we ascenders won��t have to be restricted anymore! In as little as a thousand years or as many as 3000 years, our Five Light Heavenly Region will definitely be able to replicate our glory!��


    Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s sect master, Yang Jie��s brows furrowed slightly, having much unhappiness with these remarks.


    After all, the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect was the central sect, the leader of the five sects!


    But he also had no choice but to admit that Ling Wancheng and Hua Ziyou��s statements made sense.


    Zhuo Bufan was amazingly talented, standing proudly in the firmament.


    But such a person was too rare after all.


    However, if the Pill Pavilion��s momentum could form, it would be able to create a large number of experts.


    The combat power of ascenders greatly surpassed native powerhouses in the first place.


    If there was the help of heavenly pills, it would naturally be even more like adding wings to a tiger.


    It was no exaggeration to say that it was changing the structure of Rainclear Continent in the slightest!


    When he heard the news of Ye Yuan battling Cang Yongning, Feng Xuanyi was dumbfounded too.


    The Pill Alliance came into being domineeringly. Who would have expected that they were actually forced by Ye Yuan into such a situation?


    Ye Yuan��s agreement of 20 years was really not empty talk!


    If the Pill Pavilion��s momentum formed, why would his Martial Secure Heavenly Sect still need to be scared of whatever Pill Alliance?


    What was laughable was that those short-sighted people in the sect were probably embarrassed until they had no face to come out anymore now, right?


    ��Feng Xuanyi, if Ye Yuan can really win, you can��t go back on the promise that your Pill Pavilion made back then! Otherwise, my Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect will be the first to disapprove!�� Yang Jie suddenly said.


    The so-called promise was Ye Yuan saying back then that the Pill Pavilion was an open faction and would not forcefully recruit heavenly alchemists like the Pill Alliance.


    This was of utmost importance to the other four sects!


    The heavenly alchemists were snatched away by you alone. What had it got to do with us still?


    At that point, after the Pill Pavilion rose, wouldn��t it become another Pill Alliance?


    Feng Xuanyi nodded and said, ��Central Sect, please rest assured. Ye Yuan said before that as long as it��s the five great heavenly sects�� disciples, the Pill Pavilion will be completely opened to them! As long as they are heavenly alchemists who joined the Pill Pavilion, they will be able to browse all of the pill formulas and receive the best training! After success, the five great heavenly sects�� disciples will return to their sects respectively and be their own masters! If Ye Yuan can win, the five of us can sign a treaty on the spot and keep to this constraint for generations to come! It��s just that our five great heavenly sects are of the same breath and branch to begin with. The rise of the Pill Pavilion also needs the support of the Central Sect and the three sects!��


    Yang Jie��s expression eased up slightly, and he said with a nod, ��That��s of course! If the Pill Pavilion is formed, our five sects should join forces and drive the Pill Alliance out of Five Light Heavenly Region!��


    Feng Xuanyi nodded slightly, his gaze landing on the light screen again.


    He secretly cheered Ye Yuan on in his heart.


    There were no two ways about it. It all fell under the prerequisite that Ye Yuan could win!


    If Ye Yuan failed, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect would likely suffer a devastating blow!


    The implications of this alchemy battle were seriously too great.


    No one expected that things would actually play out until like this.


    Each of the two people��s alchemy battle was like a layer of a whirlpool.


    As the number of matches increased, this whirlpool got bigger and bigger, increasingly larger.


    Finally, it affected the entire Rainclear Continent!


    Now, the general trend had already formed, no one could reverse it anymore.


    Most likely, the Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief also did not expect that there would be such consequences when he sent Cang Yongning out, right?��


    The situation could no longer be controlled.


    These two people��s alchemy battle would eventually collapse.


    Either the Pill Alliance collapses, or the Five Light Heavenly Region crumbles!


    If the Pill Alliance collapsed, they would merely withdraw from Five Light Heavenly Region.


    But if the Five Light Heavenly Region collapsed, their days in the future would be difficult!


    Suddenly, Feng Xuanyi��s gaze turned sharp. This alchemy battle that had dragged on finally made waves again!

 Chapter 2627 - An Opponent Worthy of Respect!

    Chapter 2627: An Opponent Worthy of Respect!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Dao rule!�� Yang Jie��s gaze turned intent and he cried out in surprise.


    ��This is Alchemy Dao rule! But who brought this down?�� Hua Ziyou said with a frown.


    At this time, the entire Cloudarch Great Nation was in a stir!


    The sky was normal, but the air pressure over Cloudarch Great Nation was low until it was depressing.


    Everyone felt as if the sky was pressing down.


    People started to realize that the victor of this drawn out pinnacle showdown was finally going to be determined!


    It was just that, who on earth brought down this Alchemy Dao rule?


    Or maybe, they both attracted it.


    On a watchtower in the city, two men were currently watching this alchemy battle from afar.


    Noticing the descend of the Dao rule, one of them, a white-robed middle-aged man, had a hint of a smile revealed at the corners of his mouth.


    ��Looks like the die is cast, our arrangements are no longer necessary! Feibai, looks like your day of becoming famous worldwide will be postponed again.�� The white-robed middle-aged man looked at the man with a cold expression beside him as he said smilingly.


    The identities of these two men were extraordinary.


    The white-robed middle-aged man was the Pill Alliance��s deputy alliance chief, Huangfu Cloudthink.


    And the man with a cold expression was the Pill Alliance��s Heavenly Martial Hall��s Hall Master, the number one swordsman, Xiao Feibai!


    It was naturally impossible for this alchemy battle that swept throughout the entire Rainclear Continent to not arouse the Pill Alliance��s attention.


    In reality, the Pill Alliance��s attention to this alchemy battle exceeded the five great heavenly sects�� imagination!


    The Pill Alliance��s deputy alliance chief and number one swordsman turned up in person!


    It was just that their whereabouts were very secretive. Plus, no one saw them at all, it was naturally not easy to be exposed.


    Furthermore, listening to the meaning in Huangfu Cloudthink��s words, the Pill Alliance even made considerable arrangements targeting this alchemy battle!


    Xiao Feibai stood with his hands behind his back and said with a frosty expression, ��To this Xiao, becoming famous or not isn��t important! What��s important is pursuing the limit of Sword Dao! I heard that the five great heavenly sects�� sect masters have formidable strength. This Xiao had the intention to fight! But unfortunately, the opportunity has yet to arrive.��


    If these words were heard by others, it would definitely set the world on fire.


    The meaning in his words was actually to challenge the five great sect masters at the same time!


    Such words were seriously too arrogant!


    What kind of powerhouses were the five great sect masters?


    One could say that similarly heavenly sects, the sect masters of the five great heavenly sects, were much stronger than the likes of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect!


    These were ascenders!


    Huangfu Cloudthink smiled and said, ��Relax, there will be a chance! It��s just that, a shame about Ye Yuan this boy! If he can join my Pill Alliance, it will definitely be like adding wings to a tiger!��


    Even someone as cold as Xiao Feibai also nodded in agreement and said, ��A grade two heavenly alchemist and even an ascender, being able to force Cang Yongning to such a situation �� remarkable!��


    His face did not have any expression, but the word remarkable was already sufficient to prove his approval of Ye Yuan.


    Cang Yongning��s strength, regardless of whether it was Xiao Feibai or Huangfu Cloudthink, they were well aware of it.


    Furthermore, Cang Yongning��s character was level-headed and he was absolutely not a flippant person.


    Otherwise, even if he was the holy son, he could not have persevered through three months of alchemy battles too.


    Facing Ye Yuan��s entanglement and being able to proceed steadily, without making the slightest mistake for three months, this in itself explained everything!


    But it was also precisely because of this that it exhibited Ye Yuan��s amazingness even more!


    Just as Cang Yongning said, Ye Yuan was just an ascender, just a grade two heavenly alchemist!


    Huangfu Cloudthink smiled and said, ��It��s just a pity, he��s destined to be a dead man!��


    It was not just the two of them from the Pill Alliance that came in.


    They already had more than ten assassins lie in ambush in front of Cloud Leisure Establishment!


    If Ye Yuan won, Huangfu Cloudthink would give the order immediately to kill Ye Yuan!


    The implications of this battle were too great.


    Even the Pill Alliance could not afford to lose too.


    If they let the Pill Pavilion rise, it would cause tremendous losses to the Pill Alliance��s interests.


    It was impossible for the Pill Alliance to sit by and watch the Pill Pavilion rise up!


    �� ��


    Dao rule was invisible. No one knew who caused it the moment it dropped down.


    But in the view of the vast majority of the people, this was likely brought down by Holy Son!


    Although this alchemy battle was deeply worrying, wanting to reach true grade just based on an alchemy battle, it was a little too ridiculous.


    True grade, since it was called a legendary grade, it was naturally difficult to the extreme.


    Didn��t you see that even Holy Son was unable to refine it after being disturbed by Ye Yuan for so long?


    The appearance of this scene caused many people to sigh.


    A rising alchemy overlord actually fell just like that!


    Cang Yongning and Ye Yuan had clearly felt the appearance of this Dao rule too.


    After three months of fierce fighting, it was finally time to show true ability.


    A hint of excitement and smugness flitted across Cang Yongning��s face.


    This battle was the most difficult to win since he made his debut!


    When the Pill Alliance sent him out, he absolutely never thought that this opponent would actually be so difficult!


    In these three months, he did not dare to relax the slightest bit, his entire person forced until he almost went mad.


    But he still did not dare to slack off.


    This was a test of will, he understood that even if there was any slacking off, the one who dies would be him!


    Fortunately, the clouds were dispelled and the bright moon could be seen, the Dao rule finally came!


    Cang Yongning knew that this battle was very hard-won, but the benefits obtained were unimaginable too.


    This kind of tenacious and formidable opponent could only be encountered with luck but not by searching for it!


    He could feel through the aura that even at this moment, when the Dao rule had already descended, Ye Yuan was still completing the refinement fastidiously.


    This opponent was worthy of respect!


    The Dao rule descended little by little.


    People could feel its existence, but could not see it.


    But they could feel that the falling speed of the Dao rule was currently getting faster and faster.


    The two people��s refinement reached the most critical moment.


    ��Condense!��


    At virtually the same time, the two people yelled out this word.


    Then, the Dao rule suddenly accelerated and dove down!


    Cang Yongning laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, you��re an opponent worthy of respect! To be able to force this holy son to this point, you can be sufficiently proud of yourself! But, you��re destined to become a stepping stone on this holy son��s alchemy path! You can go with peace of mind!��


    ��Sigh, three months! To actually lost just like that, really not resigned to it!��


    ��This Dao rule is indeed brought down by the Pill Alliance��s Holy Son?��


    ��Us ascenders finally had a chance to rise, but I didn��t expect he is going to be defeated just like that!��


    �� ��


    A series of lamenting came from all around.


    As ascenders, they naturally hoped for Ye Yuan to win.


    It was just that sadly, no!


    There was only one Dao rule that fell!


    If it was two, Ye Yuan still had hopes of drawing.


    The result was already destined.


    At this time, the invisible Dao rule rushed faster and faster, falling straight to the mortal world!


    Boom!


    There was an intense tremor on the ground, everyone was stunned.


    Among the dumbfounded people, it naturally included Cang Yongning too.


    Because this Dao rule did not fall into his medicine cauldron, but it landed in Ye Yuan��s medicine cauldron!


    The whole place was deathly silent!


    In the royal palace, the five great sect masters had stupefied faces.


    On the watchtower, Huangfu Cloudthink and Xiao Feibai had shocked faces.


    Also, the various factions�� big shots all had disbelief written all over their faces too.


    Ye Yuan won!


    Fighting fiercely for three months, Ye Yuan actually broke the shackles and suppressed the Pill Alliance��s holy son, refining true grade!


    Ye Yuan looked at Cang Yongning and said with a slight smile, I��ll return those earlier words to you! You��re indeed an opponent worthy of respect!��

 Chapter 2628 - True Grade Emerges! Holy Son Defeated! A Storm Arises!

    Cang Yongning was indeed an opponent worthy of respect.


    This was Cang Yongning��s most difficult battle. So how was it also not Ye Yuan��s most difficult battle?


    Although this guy was haughty, one had to admit, he was absolutely an alchemy path genius!


    In alchemy, Ye Yuan had never been unduly humble, he knew that he himself was a peerless genius.


    But Cang Yongning was no less inferior to him from any angle.


    This guy was remarkable!


    But that was also more worthy of victory.


    This battle, the harvest that Ye Yuan obtained was inestimable!


    Three months of fierce fighting had stimulated all the potential in his body.


    If he still could not break through like this, then Ye Yuan would also be too much of a failure.


    In reality, what was hard was not refining true grade.


    The truly difficult thing was refining true grade under the suppression of your opponent!


    That needed your strength to truly overwhelm your opponent!


    After three months of fierce fighting, Ye Yuan��s and Cang Yongning��s improvements were tremendous.


    It was just that, the two of their suppression on their opponents, kept maintaining the results at ninth grade perfection, that was all.


    If Cang Yongning refined a pill by himself now, the chances of refining true grade would likely greatly increase.


    Actually, during the 26th match, Ye Yuan already felt that he had broken through.


    And all the way until now, the two had already fought 47 matches. Only then did Ye Yuan completely suppress Cang Yongning in terms of strength and bring down the Dao rule!


    Of course, these were all internal. Only Ye Yuan himself knew about it.


    Even Cang Yongning himself did not detect it either.


    Therefore, he thought that this Dao rule was attracted by him.


    The entire process was like boiling the frog slowly in warm water.


    By the time the frog realized the truth, he could not jump out anymore.


    Shock and disbelief were written all over Cang Yongning��s face.


    ��You �� You �� This is impossible! This isn��t possible!�� He had never had such a setback in alchemy before.


    After three months of fierce fighting, he was actually surpassed by Ye Yuan in all aspects!


    This sort of thing should not have happened in his understanding!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and fired a stream of divine essence into the medicine cauldron.


    Buzz!


    The moment the medicine cauldron opened, an aura of Great Dao instantly spread out.


    A crystal-like medicinal pill flew onto Ye Yuan��s palm quietly.


    There was no dazzling brilliance of a ninth grade golden pill and also no medicinal fragrance that greeted the nose.


    There was nothing other than the simple and unadorned of returning to one��s original simplicity!


    That was a crystal. It looked just like an ordinary glass ball. But it gave people an extraordinary feeling at a glance.


    On the watchtower, Huangfu Cloudthink��s eyes turned sharp as he said, ��Great Dao unembellished, returning to one��s original simplicity! It��s indeed true grade! If this boy isn��t eliminated, he��ll surely be my Pill Alliance��s mortal calamity!��


    Xiao Feibai nodded slightly, his figure flashing and disappearing on the spot.


    True grade grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, it suspended on Ye Yuan��s palm quietly just like that.


    After Cang Yongning saw it, his expression could not help changing greatly, his eyes full of horror!


    True grade!


    It was really true grade!


    He was defeated!


    ��It��s also my first time refining this. Since you��re the Pill Alliance��s holy son, you should be able to tell whether it��s true grade or not, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    He was not afraid of Cang Yongning lying, even if Cang Yongning lied, Heavenly Dao would not lie.


    The two of them swore an origin divinity curse to Heavenly Dao. Regardless of whether or not Cang Yongning admitted it, Heavenly Dao would judge it by itself.


    Cang Yongning��s expression was ashen, and his lips turned purple.


    Suddenly, he raised his head to the sky and gave a long howl, and fell down in pain.


    The origin divinity curse erupted!


    Heavenly Dao backlash was immensely painful.


    And this scene also confirmed that the heavenly pill in Ye Yuan��s hand was indeed true grade!


    True grade heavenly pill, it showed its true face in front of the world for the first time!


    ��This is a true grade heavenly pill? It��s pure like white snow!��


    ��Too incredible! Really too impressive! The spring of us ascenders is finally coming!��


    ��Master Ye is mighty! Master Ye is mighty!��


    �� ��


    No one paid attention to the loser. The ascenders present were all cheering joyfully.


    In the royal palace, Feng Xuanyi almost jumped up. He had an excited face as he said, ��True grade! It��s really true grade! This guy really did it! Hahaha ����


    After the other four great sect masters�� shock, they were also extremely envious when they saw Feng Xuanyi��s appearance.


    But sadly, Ye Yuan was born in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!


    If he was born in their sect, how great would that be?


    Although the Pill Pavilion would not restrict the background of the disciples, as Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s subsidiary force, the benefits obtained by the sect were self-evident!


    ��Go, quickly go to the scene! The more commotion it is at this time, the more careful we have to be!�� Yang Jie suddenly said.


    Everyone was shocked and hurriedly put away their excitement and rushed to Cloud Leisure Establishment.


    The entire Cloudarch Great Nation was seething with excitement.


    All of the ascenders were cheering joyfully.


    Ye Yuan��s victory was not just his own victory; it was also the victory of ascenders!


    His victory would usher in a new era and bring glad tidings to ascenders.


    In a sense, the significance of Ye Yuan��s victory even surpassed Zhuo Bufan!


    The cheers even drowned out Cang Yongning��s painful groans.


    Amidst these cheers, Cang Yongning��s voice gradually weakened and finally quietened.


    An alchemy genius of his generation fell here.


    ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, I indeed didn��t misjudge you! You vented my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s frustration for the past 20 years!��


    Amidst the loud laugh, Luo Yunqing headed straight for Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    In the crowd, several dozen piercing cold killing intent suddenly lit up.


    All of a sudden, corpses flew about randomly around Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, there were actually several dozen figures that charged towards him.


    Each one of them, their strengths were so powerful that it was suffocating the people around them.


    Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Dozens of Jade Sovereign Heavens!


    Yes, dozens of people more than the assassins arranged by the Pill Alliance!


    The ones who wanted Ye Yuan dead were not just like Pill Alliance.


    The other four great heavenly regions�� heavenly sects did not want Ye Yuan to live either!


    The sensation caused by this matter was seriously far too great.


    It was naturally impossible for the four great heavenly regions to stay aloof from the affair.


    The rise of the Pill Pavilion did not just threaten the interests of the Pill Alliance, there was even the safety of the four great heavenly regions.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan must die!


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed wildly, immediately feeling his scalp tingle.


    In just an instant, he felt it.


    31 people!


    31 Jade Sovereign Heavens!


    In order to kill a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, 31 Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratums were dispatched at once!


    The Pill Alliance really put down the blood capital!


    However, he did not have time to think too much either, his entire person immediately turned into a sharp sword and rushed toward Ye Yuan.


    At this moment, he only had one thought: to protect Ye Yuan from dying!


    Even if he died, Ye Yuan could not die!


    The significance of Ye Yuan��s existence was too great!


    But he just moved and Uncle Wen moved already!


    Uncle Wen, Cang Yongning��s follower, was a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse too.


    Furthermore, his strength was only stronger and not weaker than Luo Yunqing.


    ��Get lost!�� Luo Yunqing��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger and he roared furiously.


    Uncle Wen was expressionless and said with indifference, ��Give up. Even if immortals come today, they can��t save Ye Yuan either! He must die!��


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    In virtually an instant, Uncle Wen and Luo Yunqing exchanged more than ten moves.


    But Luo Yunqing could not shake Uncle Wen off!


    And those 31 Jade Sovereign heavens already rushed over!


    Ye Yuan was in grave danger!

 Chapter 2629 - Hundred Poison Formation!

    ��Audacious fellow! To dare cause trouble on my Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s territory, deserves to be killed!��


    A stern yell came from above the void. It was Ling Wancheng.


    The five great sect masters rushed over at the same time!


    The Pill Alliance made thorough preparations. So how could the five great heavenly sects be amateurs?


    The five great sect masters moving out at the same time, how shocking was the commotion?


    And right at this time, an astonishing sword rose to the sky, flying straight for the five great sect masters.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help being greatly shocked!


    Who was this? To actually dare make a move against the five great sect masters with his strength alone?


    Who could this person be if not Xiao Feibai?


    In a single breath, Xiao Feibai clashed with the five great sect masters.


    In a blink, Xiao Feibai and the five great sect masters exchanged more than a hundred moves.


    The five great sect masters were actually unable to free themselves for some time.


    It had long already fallen into a mess in front of Cloud Leisure Establishment.


    The five great heavenly sects�� Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses also moved out in full force at this time.


    It was just that their reaction was clearly not as fast as the Pill Alliance and other factions.


    Even though they made a move, they could only hinder a dozen over people.


    There were still nearly 20 Jade Sovereign Heavens who rushed in front of Ye Yuan.


    When Feng Xuanyi saw this scene, his heart could not help palpitating, thinking inwardly that it was over!


    With Ye Yuan��s bit of strength, how could there be any fluke under the joint-killing of 20 Jade Sovereign Heavens?


    The nearest one was less than 200 feet away from Ye Yuan!


    This bit of distance was but a single breath to a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    From the start until now, Ye Yuan did not even move a muscle, looking like he was scared silly.


    When that Jade Sovereign Heaven saw this scene, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.


    Personally killing a genius who could defeat Holy Son was a great sense of accomplishment!


    When the Huangfu Cloudthink on the watchtower saw this scene, a hint of smile similarly flashed across the corners of his mouth and he said, ��No matter how monstrous the genius, it��s also useless if he��s dead! Boy, you showed too much of your ability!��


    But very soon, the smile on his face froze.


    Those dozen over people rushing towards Ye Yuan actually stopped at the same time!


    And Ye Yuan��s figure also floated out from under the siege of more than a dozen people unhurriedly.


    An expression of shock appeared on Huangfu Cloudthink��s face and he muttered, ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent. He saw that wafts of hot steam actually emerged on top of those Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses�� heads.


    Seeing this scene, how could Huangfu Cloudthink still not understand what had happened?


    ��Used poison? A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, what kind of poison did he use to be able to affect 20 Jade Sovereign Heavens at the same time?�� Huangfu Cloudthink��s brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice.


    This scene similarly landed in the eyes of Feng Xuanyi, Luo Yunqing, and the rest.


    Seeing Ye Yuan succeed in breaking out of the encirclement, their minds could not help quivering!


    This boy had such shocking moves!


    Facing the besiegement of nearly 20 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, he could actually escape safe and sound!


    Seeing Ye Yuan float out unhurriedly, the faces of those Jade Sovereign Heavens all revealed indignant expressions.


    Not that they did not want to kill, but that they were strong in will, but lacking in strength!


    Although this poison was not lethal, it severely affected their movements.


    Especially one of the poisons, it even had a numbing effect.


    That Jade Sovereign Heaven who charged right at the front had a baleful look on his face.


    Just earlier, he suddenly discovered that he was poisoned.


    Furthermore, he got hit by many poisons!


    He suddenly discovered that he actually got caught in a poison formation.


    Roughly calculating, he was actually hit by a hundred kinds of poison!


    Furthermore, the effects of these poisons were different from each other.


    Some targeted the meridians, some targeted the divine essence, some even targeted the origin divinity.


    With a hundred types of poisons superimposed together, it actually made his bodily functions temporarily fall into paralysis!


    Just like a machine that suddenly jammed.


    This guy was clearly right under his nose, but he was unable to take action!


    Damn it!


    These Jade Sovereign Heavens did not dare to dawdle, expelling the poison on the spot.


    There were many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses of the five great heavenly sects lying in wait on every side. Getting poisoned at this time, even if it was just getting poisoned a little, it would be fatal.


    Sure enough, right at this time, the five great heavenly sects�� Jade Sovereign Heavens arrived.


    The last three Jade Sovereign Heavens at the back were directly hacked to death!


    Just this tiny bit of delay, those Jade Sovereign Heaven assassins all fell into passiveness.


    And Ye Yuan also directly floated to the safe area.


    ��Hahaha, terrific lad, indeed you didn��t let me down! Ye Yuan, wait a moment, this sect master will be there right away!��


    When Feng Xuanyi saw Ye Yuan escape with his life, he could not resist letting out a loud laugh and said to the other four great sect masters, ��I��ll leave this guy to you all, I��m going to protect Ye Yuan!��


    ��Go on!�� Yang Jie answered.


    No matter how strong Xiao Feibai was, it was also impossible to tie down five great sect masters at the same time.


    His appearance earlier was just in order to buy a little time for the people below.


    Now that the plan fell through, with four great sect masters pinning him down, it was enough.


    Feng Xuanyi forced Xiao Feibai back with one move, his figure flying toward Ye Yuan like an arrow that left the bowstring.


    Xiao Feibai still had a frosty expression, but during the fierce battle, his brows furrowed slightly.


    He knew that the plan failed!


    However, Xiao Feibai��s strength still shocked the five great sect masters.


    Facing the siege of five great sect masters, Xiao Feibai could actually hold out for so long!


    This level of strength was simply astonishing!


    The five great sect masters knew in their hearts that Xiao Feibai��s strength was not beneath any of theirs!


    ��Just who is your esteemed self?!�� Yang Jie asked.


    Xiao Feibai��s hand movements did not slow as he said coolly, ��Pill Alliance��s Heavenly Martial Hall, Xiao Feibai! This battle today, the name of the five great sect masters indeed lives up to the reputation! Unfortunately, I can��t battle to my heart��s content! In the future, this Xiao will naturally seek guidance from the five of you. Farewell!��


    Sword intent surged on Xiao Feibai��s body, and he suddenly slashed out with a sword.


    This sword was amazing to the extreme!


    When the Luo Yunqing who was currently in a fierce battle felt this sword intent, his expression immediately changed wildly.


    His gaze revealed a strong battle intent.


    Xiao Feibai��s sword shocked him immensely!


    Too strong!


    Talented people indeed remained in concealment in the Pill Alliance!


    Repelling the four great sect masters with a sword, Xiao Feibai��s figure moved, disappearing from the sky.


    ��Withdraw!�� At the same time, he even left behind a word.


    The Pill Alliance��s powerhouses knew that this matter already could not go through and retreated one after another.


    On the watchtower, Huangfu Cloudthink frowned and said, ��Hundred Poison Formation! I didn��t expect that this boy��s poison path can actually reach such a level! What a formidable boy!��


    Finished saying, Huangfu Cloudthink��s figure flashed, disappearing.


    Looking at Xiao Feibai��s distant figure, the four great sect masters had solemn faces.


    ��I didn��t expect that the Pill Alliance actually has such a formidable expert! His strength is likely not beneath any of us!�� Hua Ziyou exclaimed with a sigh.


    ��Heh heh, no need to put feathers in your own cap! In a one-on-one, we might not be his match!�� Yang Jie said with a cold smile.


    Hua Ziyou��s expression choked, but he did not refute as well.


    He knew that what Yang Jie said was the truth!


    This Xiao Feibai��s strength was extremely strong!


    Ling Wancheng sighed and said, ��This Pill Alliance has hidden dragons and crouching tigers! Within a short two months, they could mobilize so many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! Most likely, their strength far exceeds our imagination! This faction is even more terrifying than we imagined!��


    Yang Jie nodded slightly and said, ��Our five sects can��t be in a state of disunity anymore! At this rate, the dominion that Lord Zhuo Bufan won over will be lost by us eventually!��

 Chapter 2630 - Dispute!

    In Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s main hall, the five great sect masters were seated according to guest and host.


    The sixth seat was Ye Yuan.


    Even many highly qualified Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were positioned below Ye Yuan too.


    It could be seen what kind of height this battle made Ye Yuan��s status reach.


    Becoming famous across the land with one battle!


    Ye Yuan and Cang Yongning��s alchemy battle subverted the world��s understanding of alchemy!


    Including these sect elders present, only now did they know that there was even true grade above ninth grade. It turned out that affinity was not set in stone. Only then did they know how deep the Pill Alliance��s foundation was!


    In reality, after this battle, the five great sect masters�� dread toward the Pill Alliance grew deeper!!


    What kind of terrifying powerhouses could such a powerful alchemy path faction groom?


    Xiao Feibai was merely one of them.


    ��Gentlemen, for so many years, we��ve been frogs at the bottom of a well! The strength that the Pill Alliance exhibited this time astonishes this sect master greatly! Not just their alchemy path strength, but also martial path strength!��


    Yang Jie��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces, his words full of solemness.


    Xiao Feibai��s appearance gave the five great sect masters tremendous pressure.


    When Ling Wancheng heard that, he also followed up, ��The strength of that man with a cold expression is only more and not less compared to the five of us! The sensation that this alchemy battle caused is too sudden, most likely, the Pill Alliance is caught off-guard too. But, just judging from the strength that they displayed this time, the Pill Alliance��s strength is unfathomable!��


    Yang Jie nodded slightly and said, ��The Pill Alliance rose after Lord Zhuo went missing. This faction is very mysterious. It rarely shows its strength in front of others. All along, we only know that the heavenly alchemists that come from the Pill Alliance are very strong! But only all the way until today, do we know that they are not just strong, but strong beyond our imagination! With their alchemy path strength, they can completely create a batch of Martial Dao army whose strength doesn��t lose to us ascenders!��


    Feng Xuanyi nodded and said, ��The Pill Alliance boycotting my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect this time, it has likely been premeditated for a long time! They should have felt that their accumulated strength is already sufficient to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage! They boycotted my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect in order to awe the world and reveal its strength. It��s just that they didn��t expect that my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect produced a Ye Yuan, completely disrupting their plans!��


    The words of the few great sect masters made the expressions of the various sects�� elders become very solemn.


    Clearly, they felt tremendous pressure too.


    In the Pill Alliance, the vast majority were native powerhouses.


    And native powerhouses and ascenders were naturally two camps that had clear distinctions between each other.


    Even wanting to fish in troubled waters was very, very difficult.


    Therefore, the Pill Alliance��s existence was like a sharp sword, suspending high above their heads.


    Yang Jie said, ��Presently, our Five Light Heavenly Region has already made a clean break with the Pill Alliance! Our five sects�� sect masters have already decided that from now on, our five sects will work together to completely eliminate the Pill Alliance��s forces!��


    The elders trembled all over, many people��s faces revealed looks of hesitation.


    A white-browed elder said with a frown, ��Sect Master Yang, this matter is likely inappropriate, right? Completely breaking away from the Pill Alliance, the disciples are still fine, but how will we, these Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratums cultivate in the future?��


    Although the five great sect masters already reached a consensus on this matter.


    But within each sect, it was also not harmonious. Those who took issue with it were not in a minority.


    In reality, with regards to the operation this time, each sect had many elders who objected to it in the first place.


    Otherwise, how could it be the Pill Alliance and other sects�� turn to act wildly in the Five Light Heavenly Region��s territory?


    The various sect elders that came to Cloudarch Great Nation this time were just a few.


    At this time, another elder spoke up and said, ��Five sect masters, just a holy son of the Pill Alliance already has such formidable strength! Then what kind of realm would the Alchemy Dao of the leader of the Pill Alliance reach? Ye Yuan��s talent and strength are indeed very strong, but can he refine grade four heavenly pills? Our five sects added together currently only has Qu Yan and Dong Rui, two grade four heavenly alchemists too! Can the Pill Pavilion take out grade four heavenly pills to support our five great heavenly sects�� Jade Sovereign Heavens?��


    ��No matter how strong Ye Yuan is, he��s also merely on the same level as the Pill Alliance��s holy son! He isn��t Lord Zhuo Bufan and can��t support us ascenders!��


    ��It��s all this brat��s fault! If not for him, we also wouldn��t have ended up in this situation with the Pill Alliance!��


    �� ��


    Yang Jie��s suggestion was strongly opposed by many elders.


    Although these people were not the leaders of a sect, they had a great say in the sect.


    The weight of the words that they said was very heavy.


    Although the sect master was strong, it was also impossible to cover the sky with one hand in such a large sect.


    Therefore, there was an alliance this time.


    Hearing these elders�� ��righteous�� objections, the five great sect masters all furrowed their brows tightly.


    Being able to become sect masters, their horizons and courage were not what these elders could compare to.


    Perhaps the five great heavenly sects each had their own interests. But on major issues of principle, the five people were surprisingly unanimous.


    Witnessing the Pill Alliance��s might, the five people all deeply realized that they could no longer do things independently.


    If the five great heavenly sects still did not band up, the crisis of the Five Light Heavenly Region would probably be arriving soon.


    But these elders clearly could not see this.


    In their view, immediate interests were more important.


    What interests?


    Heavenly pills!


    Grade four heavenly pills, high quality grade four heavenly pills, only the Pill Alliance could provide them!


    Therefore, they did not want to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Pill Alliance.


    Each and every one of these elders�� blood boiled with indignation, but the spearhead of the words gradually pointed toward Ye Yuan.


    The fiercest one was the white-browed elder. He was the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s Second Elder, Duan Yongchun.


    ��Do as I say, take Ye Yuan down and send him to the Pill Alliance to make amends and appease their wrath!�� Duan Yongchun said.


    ��Enough!�� Feng Xuanyi seriously could not listen anymore. He berated angrily and said, ��Duan Yongchun, use your brain to think properly! Do you really think that the Pill Alliance is a charity? They are actually using heavenly pills to control the entire Rainclear Continent!��


    Duan Yongchun sneered and said, ��Huhu, this Duan��s words, if Sect Master Feng doesn��t like to hear it, forget it. But, these words are overly exaggerating things to raise an alarm! The Rainclear Continent is so big, how can it be what a Pill Alliance can control?��


    Feng Xuanyi still wanted to say something, but Ye Yuan suddenly stood up.


    The five great sect masters were taken aback, not knowing what he was going to do.


    Ye Yuan slowly walked towards Duan Yongchun, but the latter was taken aback and could not help laughing as he said, ��What? Master Ye is going to denounce this Duan publicly for some crimes?��


    ��Fool!�� Ye Yuan spat out a word indifferently.


    Duan Yongchun��s gaze turned sullen and he said in a cold voice, ��What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I said, fool! Everyone present, you are all fools!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the various sects�� elders changed one after another.


    ��Boy! A measly little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually dares to insult us, deserves to die!��


    ��Who the hell do you think you are, to actually dare utter wild ravings! Do you really think that this elder doesn��t dare to do anything to you?��


    ��Sect Master Feng, does your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect discipline disciples like this?��


    �� ��


    The elders were furious and scolded Ye Yuan angrily one after another.


    Ye Yuan just smiled indifferently and said, ��Sorry, I��m not a disciple. This Ye is Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elder, my status being equivalent to everyone! So, what��s wrong with scolding you fools?��

 Chapter 2631 - Proof!

    Duan Yongchun��s gaze turned dark, and he looked toward Feng Xuanyi and said, ��Sect Master Feng, don��t blame me for not giving you face! If your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect doesn��t give this elder an explanation today, don��t blame this Duan for not being courteous!��


    While talking, Duan Yongchun��s aura suddenly erupted, looking toward Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression.


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression changed, he knew that Duan Yongchun really got angry.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��An idiot like you, don��t know how you became an elder! You want an explanation? Fine, I��ll explain it to you! Wu Chengchao, come in!��


    Ye Yuan��s voice passed right through the great hall.


    Very soon, Wu Chengchao came in.


    Wu Chengchao was just a sect protector. He did not have the qualifications to take part in this level of alliance meeting.


    However, Ye Yuan specially summoned him over.


    Seeing Wu Chengchao, everyone was very puzzled.


    ��Wu Chengchao pays respect to the sect masters and elders!�� Facing so many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, Wu Chengchao��s expression was somewhat pale.


    ��Ye Yuan, what��s the meaning of you calling a sect protector here?�� Duan Yongchun said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, turned to Qu Yan, and said, ��Elder Qu, are you interested in fighting a match with our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s grade three heavenly alchemist?��


    Qu Yan raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised.


    He was Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s elder and also Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s one and only grade four heavenly alchemist, he naturally had the qualifications to be here.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had him compete in alchemy with a Martial Secure Heavenly Sect protector.


    If it was Ye Yuan taking action, he would naturally directly surrender.


    But, against a puny little grade three heavenly alchemist, he did not take him seriously.


    Qu Yan smiled and said, ��Looks like Elder Ye feels that this old man isn��t his match?��


    Ye Yuan was not reserved either, nodding as he said coolly, ��That��s right! Wu Chengchao was single-handedly trained by me. You��re not his match!��


    Murmur!


    There was an uproar in the great hall.


    This boy was also too not low-profile!


    Did you think that everyone was a genius like you?


    Ye Yuan had not entered the sect for a long time either. It was merely a short ten years.


    Considering this period, he was not in the sect for a very long time.


    Ye Yuan casually taught Wu Chengchao, and then he could deal with Elder Qu Yan?


    Highly boastful!


    ��Hahaha �� It��s hilarious! Ye Yuan, is it possible that you saw that the current atmosphere was very depressing and are deliberately trying to diffuse the tense?�� When Duan Yongchun heard that, he could not help laughing loudly.


    Ye Yuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile and said coolly, ��Elder Duan, when I competed in alchemy with the Pill Alliance��s Holy Son, I signed an origin divinity curse. Why don��t you try it too?��


    Duan Yongchun��s expression changed, and he immediately shut up.


    Although he did not feel that Wu Chengchao could win in his heart, but agreeing to an origin divinity curse because of this sort of thing, he would be pretty much insane.


    Seeing Duan Yongchun��s expression, Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, ��If you don��t dare, shut up! Elder Duan, no one will treat you as a mute!��


    ��You!�� Duan Yongchun choked up until he could not speak.


    Qu Yan looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, not understanding where Ye Yuan��s confidence came from.


    He naturally knew about Wu Chengchao. The five great heavenly sects only had few famous heavenly alchemists. Even so, who did not know the others?


    No matter how terrible Wu Chengchao was, he was, at any rate, a grade three heavenly alchemist too. He could barely manage to enter Qu Yan��s sights.


    It was just that in his view, Wu Chengchao��s strength was very average.


    In fact, he belonged to the low-end among the five great heavenly sects�� grade three heavenly alchemists.


    Such a guy was casually trained by Ye Yuan for a few dozen years and he could defeat him?


    He did not believe it!


    ��Since Elder Ye has this intention, fine then. What��s the harm in this old man taking action once?�� Qu Yan said.


    Actually, Qu Yan admired Ye Yuan very much.


    An ascender whose affinity was only one point being able to reach this point, it was simply outrageous to hear.


    Qu Yan��s affinity was very high. That was how he could reach the realm of grade four heavenly alchemist.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance could be said to be a milestone figure to ascender heavenly alchemists.


    If there was an opportunity, he would naturally be willing to ask Ye Yuan for advice or two.


    As for why Ye Yuan was so strong, as a grade four heavenly alchemist, Qu Yan naturally wanted to know very much.


    Therefore, he gave Ye Yuan some face!


    ��This �� Ye Yuan, can Wu Chengchao do it?�� Feng Xuanyi pulled Ye Yuan to one side and could not resist asking.


    He also did not expect Ye Yuan to suddenly pull an unusual move, to actually make Wu Chengchao go against Qu Yan!


    He had confidence in Ye Yuan, but Wu Chengchao �� he really did not have much confidence.


    One had to know, these few years, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s heavenly medicines were scarce. Wu Chengchao did not have that many heavenly medicines to practice as well.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Sect Master rest assured, Ye Yuan won��t mess around. Wu Chengchao��s current strength is definitely above Qu Yan��s!��


    Although Ye Yuan said it with certainty, Feng Xuanyi was still not confident.


    When this scene landed in Duan Yongchun��s eyes, there naturally could not dispense with a bout of cold sneers.


    If Wu Chengchao won, then things could naturally be discussed.


    But if Wu Chengchao lost, this matter could be seized on to make an issue out of it!


    In his view, the Pill Alliance was not very aggressive and would not take part in the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� struggles.


    How could an alchemy faction have such great ambitions?


    The main hall was very large, the alchemy battle venue was in the center of the main hall.


    All of the elders could see the two people compete in alchemy clearly.


    Qu Yan��s strength naturally went without saying.


    When grade four heavenly alchemist was put out there, no matter how weak he was, he could not be that weak.


    Rather, it was Wu Chengchao, no one was optimistic about him at all.


    These two people��s alchemy battle was not as earthshaking as Ye Yuan and Holy Son.


    It could be said that it was all within the scope of mortals.


    Therefore, until that moment when the medicinal pill��s quality came out, there was no way to tell who was stronger.


    After several hours, the two people��s grade three heavenly pills came out of the furnace respectively.


    The heavenly pill was chosen by Ye Yuan, grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    When Qu Yan��s heavenly pill was put on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone, the scale reached upper seventh grade very quickly!


    This result naturally attracted a series of exclamations.


    ��Haha, good, indeed well-deserving of being Master Qu Yan, his skills are extraordinary!��


    ��A grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill being able to reach upper seventh grade, it already exceeded the limits of a grade three heavenly alchemist!��


    ��Heh heh, I don��t believe that he, Wu Chengchao, can reach eighth grade!��


    �� ��


    When many elders saw this result, they all had gloating faces.


    Clearly, Wu Chengchao��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill did not reach ninth grade. Then, only by reaching eighth grade, could he suppress Qu Yan.


    This was virtually impossible to a grade three heavenly alchemist.


    Actually, Wu Chengchao himself was also not confident.


    In the past 20 years, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect did not have sufficient grade three heavenly medicines for him to practice at all.


    But, he did not spend his days in a muddle-headed manner.


    These 20 years, he used even more time to study grade two heavenly pills and grade one heavenly pills.


    These methods were all taught to him by Ye Yuan.


    Wu Chengchao did not feel resentment because Ye Yuan made use of him.


    On the contrary, he was very grateful to Ye Yuan.


    Because he could see his own improvement in alchemy path strength!


    With a flustered feeling, Wu Chengchao moved his own grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill onto the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    The scale skyrocketed!


    The moment when the scale stopped, the entire hall cried out in exclamation!


    ��Middle eighth grade! This �� How is this possible? Based on Wu Chengchao��s strength, he can actually cultivate the grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to middle eighth grade!�� Duan Yongchung cried out strangely with a look of disbelief.

 Chapter 2632 - Convincing!

    A salted fish had a day where it gained a new lease on life too!


    Even Wu Chengchao himself also did not dare to believe this result in front of him.


    Look at the surprised expression on his face and one would understand.


    ��W-When did I become so strong?�� Wu Chengchao looked at his own two hands as he said with a look of disbelief.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s not that you��re strong, but that they are too weak! Your current strength is not even as good as those establishment lords that I challenged!��


    Hearing this, Qu Yan��s old face could not help turning red, immediately feeling a little angry from embarrassment.


    But, on second thought, what Ye Yuan said was the truth too.


    Compared to the likes of Ye Yuan and Cang Yongning, he was really far too lacking.


    One had to know, he was already a grade four heavenly alchemist, but he was not as good as a grade two heavenly alchemist in refining grade two heavenly pills.


    The difference in between was not just an iota.


    Ye Yuan looked at Duan Yongchun and said with a cold smile, ��Elder Duan, don��t know if you��re satisfied with this explanation or not?��


    Duan Yongchun��s face turned black and he said with a cold snort, ��What can this explain?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Can��t even tell from this, that��s why I called you stupid!��


    ��You!�� Duan Yongchun nearly lost it.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but had a serious expression as he said in a solemn voice, ��Calling everyone stupid might sound a little nasty, but this is how things stand!��


    One sentence made the expressions of these elders become even uglier.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care at all and continued, ��Why does the Pill Alliance sell medicinal pills to you all, but also cherish their heavenly medicine techniques? If not for the holy son making a move, you all, these Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, probably won��t even know that there��s true grade, right? Use your brain slightly to think and you��ll also know that there are malicious motives being covered up here!��


    ��The hostility between native powerhouses and ascenders has been long-standing. If Zhuo Bufan had the same thought as you guys back then, pinning hopes on that native powerhouses will coexist in peace with you all, then there also wouldn��t be today��s Five Light Heavenly Region anymore! Or is it that you all have ascended for too long and already take yourselves to be a native faction? It��s just that, you take yourselves to be a native faction, but do others treat you as their own people?��


    Ye Yuan��s words were naturally filled with ridicule.


    The words were harsh, but the logic was not wrong.


    Got to admit, these people indeed had this kind of mentality that was making mischief.


    They naturally would not think that they were native powerhouses. But the long period of peace had ground away their spirit.


    They were already not those ascenders back then long ago!


    There were reasons why ascenders were powerful. Firstly, it was because their road toward their present status was filled with trials and tribulations. Secondly, it was because of the Rainclear Continent��s environment.


    The Five Great Heavenly Regions were extremely hostile towards ascenders, this also left ascenders no choice but to rise up in resistance.


    But Zhuo Bufan won over a great heavenly region and let ascenders have a place to rest.


    Hence, people started living a peaceful life after achieving some small accomplishments, feeling satisfied and content.


    It was also precisely because of this mentality that propagated the attitudes of the likes of Duan Yongchun.


    ��Huhu, what��s most laughable is that the five great heavenly sects are of the same breath and branch. In the end, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was boycotted by the Pill Alliance, there was actually not one sect that lent a helping hand! It seemed like the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect getting destroyed will give you all a great deal of benefits! Have you guys thought before, that the Pill Alliance wants to crumble the five great heavenly sects through precisely this kind of means? Today, it��s the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. Tomorrow �� will it be your Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect?��


    These words made the faces of the four sects�� sect masters become unnatural.


    They only made up their minds to fall out with the Pill Alliance because of Ye Yuan��s rise too.


    If not for this, they really would not have been able to make up their minds.


    Prior to this, they indeed had the thought of protecting personal interest and staying out of trouble.


    But Ye Yuan and Cang Yongning��s alchemy battle directly swept them in and forced them to break away from the Pill Alliance.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was scorching as he continued: ��That��s right! Breaking away from the Pill Alliance now will indeed have a pain period for a while! But if we don��t experience this period of pain, ascenders will never be able to lift our heads up! Yes, my current strength is indeed inferior to the chief of the Pill Alliance! But how can you dare say with certainty that I��ll be inferior to him in the future? If the Holy Son came into being, can you imagine that there would be an ascender heavenly alchemist to defeat him?��


    ��As for grade four heavenly alchemists, this isn��t a problem at all! You guys have seen Wu Chengchao��s strength too! I have the confidence to let him reach the realm of grade four within ten years! Moreover, we still have Qu Yan and Dong Rui, the two elders. Their realm is already there. It��s just that their foundation isn��t stable. As long as they join the Pill Pavilion, this Ye dares to guarantee to let them take out heavenly pills that won��t lose to the Pill Alliance within 30 years!��


    These words made the five great sect masters shudder all over!


    What they wanted was this!


    It was just that in their view, while Ye Yuan was formidable, it was far too difficult to make others reach Ye Yuan��s realm. This was why they were somewhat lacking in confidence.


    ��Elder Ye, is this true?�� Yang Jie could not resist asking.


    ��Yeah, Elder Ye, you can��t make this joke in front of all of the elders!�� Feng Xuanyi also said rather worriedly.


    Even Qu Yan was also somewhat nervous as he said, ��Elder Ye, can this Qu really do it?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��Elder Qu, you don��t need to belittle your own capability! Actually, you guys merely had both eyes hoodwinked by the Pill Alliance! Under such shallow and ignorant circumstances, you guys could still reach the realm of grade four heavenly alchemist. Your alchemy path talent is likely even stronger than the Pill Alliance��s elders! It��s just that you guys didn��t know the right way to cultivate. That��s all! As long as you guys join the Pill Pavilion, this Ye dares to guarantee to let your strength be reborn anew within 30 years!��


    Ye Yuan was naturally not saying these with all talk but no promises. In reality, he already had a score in his heart when he observed Qu Yan refining the pill just now.


    Wu Chengchao��s talent was pretty good too.


    But Qu Yan��s talent was significantly stronger than Wu Chengchao.


    The things that Wu Chengchao could do, if Qu Yan wanted to do them, it would not take much time at all.


    Just as grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, for example, Ye Yuan spent nearly 20 years�� time in order to cultivate it to the extreme back then.


    But to Qu Yan, probably spending a few months�� time would be enough.


    It was just that they did not know the right method.


    The words made Qu Yan feel like a maiden with love in the air, his heart going pit-a-pat.


    Virtually without thinking, Qu Yan said, ��Okay, I��ll join the Pill Pavilion!��


    At this time, Dong Rui also stood up and said, ��This old man joins the Pill Pavilion too!��


    With four grade four heavenly alchemists joining the Pill Pavilion at the same time, this weight became heavy!


    To ascenders, these two were solitary seedlings. Their statuses were evident at a glance.


    In the sect, the two of their statuses even did not lose to the sect master.


    Yang Jie��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces and he said coolly, ��Who else has objections?��


    Duan Yongchun opened his mouth, still wanting to say something. But in the end, he did not speak.


    ��Alright! Then this matter is settled like this! From today onwards, the five great heavenly sects will join forces and completely purge the Pill Alliance��s forces out of Five Light Heavenly Region! In addition, we��ll also exhaust the power of the five sects to help strengthen the Pill Pavilion! Ye Yuan, whatever your Pill Pavilion needs, feel free to open your mouth! But, all jokes aside, if the big talk that you boasted today isn��t realized in the future, don��t blame this sect master for not being courteous!�� Yang Jie said in a loud voice.

 Chapter 2633 - Can You Reserve Three for Me?

    After the Shangyu alliance meeting, the five great heavenly sects started mopping up.


    However, the Pill Alliance��s withdrawal was also within expectations.


    As if overnight, all of the Pill Alliance��s forces became devoid of people.


    Having orders executed without fail like this, it also made the five great sect masters secretly heighten their vigilance.


    This Pill Alliance was not simple!


    The Pill Pavilion officially went into operations and recruited disciples with the name of the five great heavenly sects.


    Ye Yuan was the first Pill Pavilion��s pavilion lord, his status equivalent to the five great heavenly sects�� sect masters!


    For some time, the Pill Pavilion��s limelight had no equal.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan published a series of measures and established a complete set of measures within the boundary of the Five Light Heavenly Region, replacing the gap left behind by the Pill Alliance��s withdrawal.


    With regards to this set of measures, Ye Yuan was long already very accustomed to this due to his past experiences when in the Lower Realms.


    So when he executed it, it went very smoothly.


    And these measures also gained instant results, letting the Pill Pavilion gain a firm foothold very quickly.


    The status of the Pill Pavilion was established swiftly and it also made the five great sect masters and each sect��s elders secretly speechless, marveling at Ye Yuan��s ability to be in control.


    Different from the Pill Alliance��s cherishing of their own belongings, the Pill Pavilion was completely open-style.


    Firstly, the five great heavenly sects�� heavenly alchemists could browse the Pill Pavilion��s pill formulas and heavenly medicine techniques unconditionally.


    As for some of the other factions�� heavenly alchemists, after confirming their loyalty, it would also be released to varying degrees.


    In fact, Ye Yuan even invited the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s formation master, cracking the few pieces of jade slips that Zhong Jianchou left behind, sharing it to the Pill Pavilion.


    With regards to the five great heavenly sects�� valuable pill formulas, heavenly medicine techniques, and such, Ye Yuan carried out a tidying-up effort and consolidating them, and categorizing them into different classes.


    It was equivalent to establishing the cultivation system of ascender heavenly alchemists anew.


    His series of moves made the heavenly alchemists prostrate on all fours in admiration.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan gained extremely high prestige among these heavenly alchemists.


    In addition, the appearance of the Pill Pavilion also made the five great heavenly sects band up together tightly.


    All of these changes made the five great heavenly sects take on a completely new outlook.


    In the ninth year, Wu Chengchao broke through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum, becoming the third grade four heavenly alchemist of the five great heavenly sects!


    And at this time, there was still over one year left from the 20-year deadline that Ye Yuan had once said.


    No one in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect from top to bottom dared to criticize or comment anymore.


    Even Shi Feiyu and Head Elder also shut their mouths sensibly.


    As for Han Qianyun, he even had his position of protector taken away by the sect, his cultivation sealed. He was detained at the Remorse Cliff, disciplining him as a warning!


    By the 20th year, three more people broke through to grade four heavenly alchemist consecutively!


    The Pill Pavilion��s grade four heavenly alchemist grew to as many as six people all at once.


    As for grade three and grade two heavenly alchemists, a blowout-style eruption also emerged.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s influence on the Pill Pavilion already gradually formed an effect.


    It seemed as if the Five Light Heavenly Region had entered a period of revitalization, everything was moving towards prosperity.


    But, it was also right at this time, that there was a sudden turn of events!


    Apart from the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect, the other four major sects were being continuously harassed by the four great heavenly regions.


    The frontier area was in constant chaos.


    Very clearly, the four great heavenly regions could not hold back anymore.


    ��Sect Master, I said it long ago, can��t do things like this! At least, can��t shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Pill Alliance for the time being! Now, I hit the mark, right? That bullshit Pill Pavilion seems to be doing really well, but until now, they can��t bring out a decent heavenly pill! The heavenly pills that Qu Yan refined are still significantly worse when compared to the Pill Alliance��s heavenly pills! Heh, I want to see how that boy gets through it when the time comes!�� In Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s main hall, Duan Yongchun said with a sneer on his face.


    With the four great heavenly regions launching an attack at the same time, the border hostilities were intensified.


    As the central sect Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect, it was naturally impossible to look on with folded arms.


    At this time, the various great elders were gathered here to discuss this matter.


    But since the beginning, Duan Yongchun already pointed the spearhead at Ye Yuan, feeling that this matter was entirely caused by him.


    Even after 20 years had passed, he was still an advocate of peace.


    Of course, this was also because the quality of the grade four heavenly pills that Qu Yan they all refined kept failing to improve.


    When it reached grade four heavenly pill this level, how could wanting to improve by a little be that easy?


    And this also gave Duan Yongchun a handle for gossip.


    With Duan Yongchun jumping like this, Yang Jie was very irritated too.


    The results that the Pill Pavilion had obtained, that was obvious to all.


    As long as the Pill Pavilion was given enough time, the Pill Pavilion would definitely be able to reach the point where they could contend with the Pill Alliance.


    Yet, Duan Yongchun this fellow was indifferent to it!


    Yang Jie said impatiently, ��Elder Duan, it��s only been 20 years! Do you think that grooming heavenly alchemists is like kids playing house? Let alone, it��s grade four heavenly alchemist!��


    Duan Yongchun smiled coldly and said, ��It��s indeed not playing house, but now, the Pill Alliance won��t give us time! I want to ask Sect Master; once a full-scale war is launched, with our five great heavenly sects�� current strength, can we be the four great heavenly region��s match? Let alone that there��s even a Pill Alliance casting covetous eyes at the back!��


    The matter this time, no need to guess and one would also know that it was the Pill Alliance manipulating at the back.


    In reality, the five great sect masters were all secretly shocked.


    They did not expect that the Pill Alliance��s power and influence actually already had such a deep influence!


    At present, the four great heavenly regions�� various major sects were in an even greater state of disunity.


    For the Pill Alliance to be able to consolidate the four great heavenly regions together, it served to show the terror of its strength.


    The five great sect masters were also greatly troubled because of this.


    Got to admit, Duan Yongchun��s words struck Yang Jie��s sore spot.


    Seeing Yang Jie keep quiet, Duan Yongchun sneered even harder and said, ��If we did it according to what I originally had in mind, the five sects pretending to be polite and compliant with the Pill Alliance first, after an even more talented powerhouse rises, he��ll be able to replicate Lord Zhuo��s miracle back then! But now, the Pill Alliance won��t give us the chance anymore!��


    ��Enough! Elder Duan, since you look down on the Pill Pavilion so much, then if you have the capabilities, don��t take a single one of the Pill Pavilion��s heavenly pills in the future!�� Yang Jie said angrily.


    Duan Yongchun laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Sect Master, don��t you worry! I��ve never taken a single one of the Pill Pavilion��s heavenly pills before in the past! In the future, I definitely won��t take a single one as well! My meaning is still this; Hand Ye Yuan over, and exchange for temporary peace!��


    Yang Jie was just about to fly off the handle, but a subordinate came to report.


    The Pill Pavilion sent people to deliver a large batch of heavenly pills over!


    The person escorting the heavenly pills was precisely Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s grade four heavenly alchemist, Qu Yan!


    ��Elder Qu, have you been well?�� Seeing Qu Yan, Yang Jie had an excited look too.


    After Qu Yan bowed, he smiled and said, ��Many thanks for Sect Master��s concern. This old man is very well! This time, I was entrusted by Pavilion Lord to escort a batch of heavenly pills over, and I want the sect to send troops to support the four sects!��


    Hearing this, Duan Yongchun laughed coldly.


    But Yang Jie��s eyes flashed, and he asked, ��Oh? I wonder what Pavilion Lord Ye has done this time?��


    Qu Yan smiled and said, ��Pavilion Lord Ye personally took action this time! Even this old man hasn��t seen him take action for more than ten years too! The moment he made a move, it��s earth-shattering!��


    Qu Yan��s words made Yang Jie��s mind quiver.


    Yang Jie received the list and took a look and could not help drawing a cold breath.


    ��True grade Fire Unicorn Heavenly Pill, 50 of them! True grade True Marrow Heavenly Pill, 50! True grade Primordial Star Astral Pill, 30 ���� Yang Jie recited the names from the list. The expressions of the elders present changed one after another.


    All true grade pills!


    Duan Yongchun��s face alternated between red and green, appearing extremely conflicted.


    Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind. Opening his mouth, he said, ��Sect Master, that �� the Primordial Star Astral Pills, can you reserve three for me?��

 Chapter 2634 - Eruption! Hidden Worries!

    Concerning the Primordial Star Astral Pill, being a grade two heavenly imperial pill, the medicinal effect was comparable to grade three heavenly pills!


    A powerful heavenly pill that consolidated the small world and consolidated one��s cultivation realm.


    Duan Yongchun was extremely talented, but his three grandsons had average aptitudes.


    At present, these three people were all stuck at peak Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, and have been unable to break through.


    True grade Primordial Star Astral Pill was simply a panacea to the three of them.


    Duan Yongchun did not know how strong the medicinal effect of true grade was, but without a doubt, it would be unbelievably strong!


    Therefore, when he heard that true grade Primordial Star Astral Pill, the self-slapping law activated.


    He knew that when he said it at this time, it slapped his own face very hard.


    But for the sake of his three grandsons, he was risking it all.


    Sure enough, Yang Jie looked at Duan Yongchun with a smile that was not a smile and said smugly, ��Elder Duan, didn��t you say earlier that you won��t take a single one no matter what?��


    Duan Yongchun��s old face turned red, and he said, ��Ye Yuan this boy really mustered up a big move! I also didn��t expect that he actually took out so many true grade heavenly pills all at once!��


    Yang Jie nodded slightly, expressing agreement.


    In reality, he was shocked by this list too.


    Taking out several hundred true grade heavenly pills in one go, this was absolutely a big move.


    Although these heavenly pills had little effect on Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, even Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, they held extraordinary significance.


    This batch of heavenly pills could definitely create a large batch of powerhouses.


    The world knew that Ye Yuan could refine true grade heavenly pills.


    It was just that, the true grade that Ye Yuan refined back then was also just the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, this sort of basic heavenly pill.


    There was still a huge gap from wanting to refine heavenly imperial pills to true grade.


    However, they all did not expect that in a short 20 years, Ye Yuan��s improvement would actually be so big!


    ��In that case, you don��t have objections about the Pill Pavilion anymore?�� Yang Jie said with a serious face.


    Duan Yongchun chuckled and said, ��No objections! Of course, no objections! That, Elder Qu, you have to buck up too!��


    Qu Yan smiled and said, ��Elder Duan, don��t panic. This old man also has some gifts here!��


    The moment these words came out, Duan Yongchun and Yang Jie were both surprised.


    As he said, Qu Yan also took out a list and passed it to Yang Jie.


    After Yang Jie looked, he could not help turning pale from shock and said, ��Elder Qu, these �� these heavenly pills are all refined by you?��


    Qu Yan nodded and said, ��These few years, under Master Ye��s guidance, this old man��s strength had great advancements! Especially these two years, it even reached an eruption period!��


    The heavenly pills on the list were all grade four heavenly pills. Furthermore, the quality was very high.


    Although there was still a gap compared to the Pill Alliance��s grade four heavenly pills, the difference was already not big anymore.


    After all, it was also impossible for the grade four heavenly pills that the Pill Alliance took out to sell to be the best.


    At the rate of this progress, Qu Yan surpassing the Pill Alliance��s grade four heavenly pills within ten years could be easily accomplished!


    Duan Yongchun opened his mouth wide, having a look of shock on his face.


    Honestly speaking, he completely did not believe that Ye Yuan made Qu Yan��s strength reach this level within 30 years.


    Grade four heavenly alchemists were not grade one heavenly alchemists, the latter having very obvious improvements if any.


    Without the accumulation of time, how could wanting to improve be so easy?


    It was just that he never thought that he was still questioning just now and Qu Yan already returned to slap his face.


    Yang Jie even noticed that Qu Yan��s term of address for Ye Yuan already underwent a change.


    A grade four heavenly alchemist actually called Ye Yuan as Master Ye, it could be seen that Qu Yan was really prostrating on all fours in admiration towards Ye Yuan!


    Terrifying!


    Seemingly seeing through the two people��s surprise, Qu Yan smiled and said, ��Sect Master, Elder Duan, you guys rest assured. With the Pill Pavilion��s current strength, we��ll be able to stand up to the Pill Alliance as an equal before long! And currently, we completely don��t need to rely on the Pill Alliance anymore. In the future, when Master Ye breaks through to grade three heavenly alchemist, even grade four heavenly alchemist, a mere Pill Alliance will probably be merely thus too!��


    These 20 years, Qu Yang had long already been brought into submission by Ye Yuan��s monstrousness.


    In reality, after learning about Ye Yuan��s cultivation method, Qu Yan��s sense of mysteriousness toward Ye Yuan immediately reduced a lot.


    After all, hard work this sort of thing was what anyone could do.


    Even Wu Chengchao could reach that step. So it was naturally not a problem for him, Qu Yan.


    But along with the passage of time, he discovered that it was not the case at all.


    This cultivation path was easy to learn but hard to master!


    Just like when he refined grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, he could reach grand completion ninth grade very quickly.


    But, ninth grade perfection, he spent a tremendous amount of effort and had never been able to reach it.


    Only at that time did Qu Yan know what kind of gap was there.


    He could not even reach ninth grade perfection, let alone talk about true grade.


    All the way until Ye Yuan came out of seclusion this time and took out a bunch of true grade heavenly pills, the Pill Pavilion was thoroughly stirred.


    True grade was already not something that was far beyond reach to Ye Yuan.


    Qu Yan thought that he could catch up to, even surpass Ye Yuan very quickly.


    But 20 years had passed. Qu Yan understood that not only did he not surpass Ye Yuan, but he also opened up an even greater distance instead.


    ��Good! Good! Good!��


    Yang Jie said three ��good��s in a row and exclaimed, ��Looks like us five sect masters didn��t misjudge him! The pleasant surprise that this kid gave to us is even bigger than imagined! Since even Elder Duan isn��t objecting, our Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s disciples will support the four sects from now on!��


    �� ��


    The heavenly pills outputted by the Pill Pavilion completely exploded!


    For some of the five great heavenly sects�� core forces, their strength and combat power soared after taking the true grade heavenly pills.


    Without any surprises, their combat power on the battlefield also increased crazily.


    The strength of ascenders stood head and shoulders above all others to begin with. Now, with the help of true grade heavenly pills, they overwhelmed native powerhouses even more.


    On the frontline battlefield, the four great heavenly regions steadily lost ground.


    The morale of the Five Light Heavenly Region��s five great heavenly sects was unprecedentedly high.


    Only at this time did people realize what a wise thing it was to decide to set up the Pill Pavilion back then.


    But in the Pill Pavilion Ye Yuan��s brows were knitted tightly together.


    When Feng Xuanyi saw his expression, he could not help being very puzzled and asked, ��Ye Yuan, we��ve won a complete victory presently and killed the five great heavenly regions until they are filled with trepidation. The name of Pill Pavilion has also shocked the Five Great Heavenly Regions. Why are you still frowning like this?��


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��Sect Master, you��ve witnessed the power of true grade too, right?��


    Upon mentioning this, Feng Xuanyi immediately perked up and said with a smile, ��Of course! True grade heavenly pills are truly remarkable! The strength of many of the five great heavenly sects�� Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums soared after consuming your heavenly imperial pills! And they were also the main force of the great battle this time!��


    True grade heavenly pill was not just increasing strength, being that simple.


    Its improvement of ascenders was all-around!


    That was equivalent to integrating Dao rule into the martial artist��s body.


    This kind of power was unimaginable.


    When Feng Xuanyi saw the power of true grade, he was incredibly moved too.


    After Ye Yuan broke through in the future, he also had to sample the taste of this true grade heavenly pill!


    But Ye Yuan was not as optimistic as Feng Xuanyi and said in a solemn voice, ��Our five great heavenly sects�� disciples have soared in strength within a few short months! But, the Pill Alliance has possessed true grade heavenly pills for a long time! Then how strong is the strength of the Pill Alliance��s powerhouses? And how strong is the strength of the Pill Alliance��s leader?��


    One sentence made Feng Xuanyi��s expression change suddenly!

 Chapter 2635 - Hopeless Situation!

    ��On the surface, our Five Light Heavenly Region has the upper hand. But you have got to know that up until now, the Pill Alliance hasn��t made a move!��


    Ye Yuan��s words made Feng Xuanyi��s heart sink to the bottom.


    The Pill Alliance, this faction, was seriously too mysterious.


    But, without a doubt, it was very powerful!


    It was just that currently, no one knew what on earth the Pill Alliance was trying to do.


    This was what made Ye Yuan most uneasy.


    But Ye Yuan had a feeling that the Pill Alliance probably came with unkind intentions!


    ��How strong do you think the Pill Alliance is?�� Feng Xuanyi said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was solemn as he said, ��I originally thought that the appearance of this batch of true grade heavenly pills can force the Pill Alliance onto the stage! But I miscalculated! Therefore, the moment they make a move, it will probably shake the entire Rainclear Continent!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s brows furrowed a little tighter.


    Only until now did he know Ye Yuan��s thoughts.


    It turned out that taking out this batch of true grade heavenly pills was in order to force the Pill Alliance out.


    But until now, the Pill Alliance did not appear, which meant that they did not care at all!


    Boom!


    All of a sudden, the earth quaked and mountains shook. The entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect started swaying.


    Feng Xuanyi and Ye Yuan��s expressions changed greatly.


    The two exchanged a glance and two words popped out of their mouths at virtually the same time, ��The Pill Alliance!��


    When the two arrived before the mountain, they were immediately stunned by the scene before their eyes!


    In front of the sect protecting grand array, more than 100 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were currently accumulating their strength and preparing for the next attack.


    And the sect protecting grand array in front of them was already teetering on its last legs!


    Clearly, the power of the attack previously already brought the sect protecting grand array to the brink of collapse.


    The entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was full of alarmed and panicky voices.


    There was a large group of powerhouses in front of the mountain pass gates, surrounding the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect until not even water could seep through.


    ��Is this the power of the Pill Alliance? More than 180 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, what a big move!�� Feng Xuanyi��s gaze was solemn to the extreme.


    Sweeping a glance over, there were more than 180 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in an array.


    For a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, each one was extremely hard to come across.


    In the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, there were also merely 40 over of them!


    The vast majority of them were even just lower and middle Jade Sovereign heaven.


    But the moment the Pill Alliance made a move, it was 180 people. The number was more than four times compared to the powerhouses from the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!


    Which was also to say that one Pill Alliance��s Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, was virtually equivalent to the sum of the five great heavenly sects!


    This contrast of power was simply too terrifying!


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s powerhouses all sucked in a breath of cold air.


    This mysterious to the extreme faction, finally revealed its fangs to the world today!


    ��Yunqing, immediately ask the four sects for help! Activate the reverse-transmission array and have them hurry over as soon as possible!�� Feng Xuanyi said to the Luo Yunqing who rushed over.


    But Luo Yunqing did not move. His expression being solemn as he said, ��Sect Master, it��s useless! The transmission array between us and the four sects has already been destroyed! Right now, we��re fighting alone!��


    Feng Xuanyi turned pale with fright and said, ��What?! The nodal points of the transmission array are extremely secretive. Only our five great heavenly sects�� upper echelons know about it. How did they destroy it?��


    The five great heavenly sects were very far apart and needed to pass through many spatial nodes to transit.


    These spatial nodes were very hidden and belonged to the sect��s secrets.


    Such a secretive thing was actually discovered by the Pill Alliance!


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Looks like the Pill Alliance has been planning for a long time!��


    Feng Xuanyi said furiously, ��Damn it! They manipulated the four great heavenly regions to provoke us. It turns out that it��s in order to lure the tiger away from the mountain!��


    These few years, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect pretty much had close to half of its powerhouses on the frontier battlefield.


    Right now, the powerhouses that were still in the sect were only half of their full strength.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was in imminent crisis!


    Boom!


    Right at this time, brilliant divine essence fluctuations lit up in the sky.


    Over 140 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses attacked together. It was only to hear a loud noise. The sect protecting grand array directly fell apart.


    Another earthquake!


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples were in a constant state of anxiety.


    Once the grand array was broken, more than 140 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses slowly flew towards the top of the mountain.


    That intense sense of oppression made people virtually unable to breathe.


    A white-robed middle-aged man walked out slowly. A middle-aged man with a frosty expression even followed beside him.


    Feng Xuanyi recognized the middle-aged man with a cold expression with a glance. The person was precisely Xiao Feibai who battled with the five great sect masters back then in Cloudarch Great Nation!


    The white-robed middle-aged man was naturally Huangfu Cloudthink.


    Huangfu Cloudthink looked toward Feng Xuanyi and said with a slight smile, ��Sect Master Feng, let me introduce myself. This humble self is the Pill Alliance��s deputy alliance chief, Huangfu Cloudthink! This one beside me, you should have fought with him before. He��s my Pill Alliance��s Heavenly Martial Hall��s hall master, Xiao Feibai!��


    Feng Xuanyi��s expression was very ugly and he said in a solemn voice, ��What��s with all the crap! If you want to fight, then fight! Our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect inherited Lord Zhuo��s ambitions and absolutely won��t take a step back!��


    Seeing this scene, Feng Xuanyi naturally would not be stupid enough to think that Huangfu Cloudthink came to chat with him.


    This battle was already unavoidable.


    Furthermore, Feng Xuanyi had an idea in his heart, it was likely impossible for the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to escape its doom today!


    The Pill Alliance schemed for a long time, causing such a big commotion.


    Yet, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect still did not have the slightest inkling!


    This battle was not lost in vain!


    But Huangfu Cloudthink smiled and said, ��Sect Master Feng��s personality is very strong! However, this alliance chief isn��t very interested in Sect Master Feng. I wonder if Sect Master Feng can hand Ye Yuan over to me?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s gazes looked toward Ye Yuan.


    The Pill Alliance came up with such a grand line-up, it was actually for Ye Yuan?


    Many people let out a sigh of relief when they heard this.


    If it was just for Ye Yuan, then there was still room to salvage the situation.


    Feeling everyone��s gazes, Ye Yuan��s expression was calm.


    Feng Xuanyi looked toward Ye Yuan rather surprisedly. But very soon, he gave a cold snort and said, ��Don��t play this with this sect master! Do you take this sect master to be a three-year-old kid? You Pill Alliance brought out such a grand line-up, I don��t believe that it��s just for a Ye Yuan!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink still had not spoken and Shi Feiyu could not hold back first.


    ��Sect Master! The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect ended up at this point today, it��s all the trouble caused by Ye Yuan! Already reaching this point, you��re still protecting him?�� Shi Feiyu rebuked angrily.


    The head elder also said, ��That��s right! If not for Ye Yuan provoking the Pill Alliance time and again, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect also wouldn��t have today! Ye Yuan should take responsibility for today��s matter!��


    With these two people taking the lead, many of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elders all spoke up to reproach, expressing dissatisfaction towards Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s internal strife, Huangfu Cloudthink just smiled slightly and did not speak, and also did not interject.


    ��All shut up for me!��


    Suddenly, Feng Xuanyi roared angrily and interrupted everyone��s words. He said in a solemn voice, ��You fools, such an obvious plan to sow discord and you can��t even discern it? That��s right. They indeed came here for Ye Yuan, but it definitely won��t be just for Ye Yuan! Already at this point, are you all still naive enough to think that by handing Ye Yuan over, the Pill Alliance will let our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect off?��


    Feng Xuanyi was extremely disappointed in Shi Feiyu and Head Elder.


    Very clearly, the Pill Alliance had planned for a long time with regards to the Five Light Heavenly Region!


    Ye Yuan merely just happened to be there at the right time!

 Chapter 2636 - Great Battle Begin!

    ��Sect Master Feng, you can��t say that! As long as you all take the initiative to hand Ye Yuan over, and take the initiative to plant an origin divinity will, your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will still be your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! From now on, you��ll be responsible for managing ascenders.��


    Huangfu Cloudthink still had a faint smile, but the words said made the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect from top to bottom feel a bone-penetrating chill.


    Planting an origin divinity will, it was becoming the Pill Alliance��s minion servant!


    To proud ascenders, it was even more unacceptable than killing them!


    Only then did people come to realize the truth. What Feng Xuanyi said was right. The Pill Alliance��s goal was not just Ye Yuan.


    Feng Xuanyi suddenly gave a cold laugh and said, ��Your esteemed self wouldn��t really think that my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is easy to bully, right? Today, even if we fight until the last man, you all can forget about getting any bargain!��


    As he said, a completely black long spear with electricity dancing around it appeared in Feng Xuanyi��s hands.


    The moment the long spear appeared, the expressions of everyone present changed.


    Huangfu Cloudthink was not surprised and said with a smile, ��Heavenly spirit treasure, Heaven Killing Battlespear, the lifeblood treasure of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s founding ancestor, Chu Tiange! Back then, Chu Tiange followed Zhuo Bufan and relied on this Heaven Killing Battlespear to kill until the four great heavenly regions were terrified! Today, it finally sees the light of day once more?��


    On the Rainclear Continent, treasures were divided into three levels, mortal spirit, earthly spirit, and heavenly spirit!


    Heavenly spirit treasures were extremely seldom-seen existences on the entire Rainclear Continent.


    When Ye Yuan saw the Heaven Killing Battlespear, he was stunned.


    The undulations coming off from this battle spear were actually identical with his Heavenspan Mountain.


    Ye Yuan could jump realms to kill an enemy by wielding the Heavenspan Mountain. It could be seen that this treasure was not at all inferior to it as well.


    Feng Xuanyi snorted coldly and said, ��You really know quite a bit!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink smiled and said, ��It��s just a shame. Chu Tiange was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse of his generation. This battle spear can unleash 120% power in his hands. But you probably can��t even unleash 70% of it!��


    Above Jade Sovereign Heaven was Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    It was just that at present, Saint Sovereign Heavens were already extinct on Rainclear Continent.


    This step was far too difficult!


    ��It��s enough to deal with you!��


    Feng Xuanyi gave a cold cry, his body turning into a streak of electricity, shooting straight for Huangfu Cloudthink.


    In order to catch bandits, round up the ringleader first!


    This was the only lease of life that Feng Xuanyi saw!


    However, right at the moment that Feng Xuanyi moved, Xiao Feibai moved too.


    It was only to see his entire person transform into a sharp sword, clashing with Feng Xuanyi instantaneously.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The two people instantly exchanged more than ten moves above the void.


    Evenly-matched!


    What made people despair even more was that the undulations of the sword in Xiao Feibai��s hand were actually not the slightest bit inferior to the Heaven Killing Battlespear!


    An elder cried out in despair, ��Heavenly spirit treasure! The sword in that Pill Alliance powerhouse��s hand is a heavenly spirit treasure as well!��


    This Pill Alliance��s strength was powerful until it made people lose all hope.


    They even had heavenly spirit treasures.


    ��Your opponent isn��t me!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink had an indifferent look as he turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Ye Yuan, you killed the holy son. Are you willing to join my Pill Alliance and become the new holy son?��


    ��What?! The Pill Alliance actually wants Ye Yuan to directly become the holy son!��


    ��It turns out that they are not taking revenge for the holy son, but took a fancy on Ye Yuan��s strength!��


    ��To be able to have the Pill Alliance take such great pains, Ye Yuan��s alchemy path strength is likely not the slightest bit worse when compared to the Pill Alliance��s powerhouses!��


    �� ��


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s words immediately caused an uproar in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    They all thought that the Pill Alliance came to denounce publicly for crimes.


    Who knew that the moment Huangfu Cloudthink opened his mouth, he actually wanted to solicit Ye Yuan.


    For a moment, everyone looked over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had no joy nor sorrow on his face, no inclinations could be seen.


    After being silent for a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��If I agree, can the Pill Alliance let the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect off or not?��


    Everyone trembled all over, after which, their eyes revealed hopeful looks.


    But Huangfu Cloudthink shook his head and said coolly, ��The Pill Alliance has the intention to unify the Five Great Heavenly Regions. However, the five great heavenly sects are stubborn and unruly. They are the Pill Alliance��s greatest stumbling blocks! Actually, the Pill Alliance��s plan to devour the five great heavenly sects was currently being carried out systematically. But, your appearance completely disrupted our plans! If not for so, we also wouldn��t resort to this plan, to forcefully attack the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! What follows can��t dispense with a bout of bloody battle!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s words made everyone stare wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    It turned out that the Pill Alliance��s ambition was actually so great, to actually want to swallow the entire Five Great Heavenly Regions!


    Compared to native factions, the five great heavenly sects�� ascenders not only had formidable strength, but their personality was also arrogant and unyielding.


    Wanting to make them submit was even harder than ascending to the heavens.


    Therefore, the Pill Alliance had long been planning it out, to slowly gobble up the Five Great Heavenly Regions.


    But who would have expected that someone threw a wrench in the works? Ye Yuan��s domineering rise completely disrupted the Pill Alliance��s plan.


    And Ye Yuan even made Holy Son Cang Yongning perish in the alchemy battle.


    Hence, that was why the Pill Alliance was forced to dispatch troops to attack the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    But, after destroying the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect and destroying the Pill Pavilion, when facing the other four great heavenly sects, the Pill Alliance would have already walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes. They would surely have to face a bloody battle.


    And this sort of situation was not what the Pill Alliance wanted.


    In a way, Ye Yuan��s domineering rise brought tremendous losses to the Pill Alliance.


    Ye Yuan looked at Huangfu Cloudthink and said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, then there��s nothing to discuss. Fight then!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s eyes turned sharp and he said, ��Ye Yuan, your talent is above Holy Son��s, it��s too much of a pity to die like this! Do you really want to fight?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��For a man, death is but dying. Why would I fear a fight?��


    His words made the countenances of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples change.


    This was his only lease of life, Ye Yuan actually gave it up just like that!


    Previously, Ye Yuan was still being universally condemned.


    One could say that ever since he entered the sect, he had been enduring criticism every minute and second.


    But he did not grumble in the least bit!


    In this moment of life and death, he chose to live and die together with the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!


    ��Hahaha �� Well said! My good brother, I didn��t misjudge you! Sect Master, I��ll come and help you!�� Luo Yunqing laughed wildly, drawing his sword and looking around.


    The moment he moved, the Pill Alliance��s side also moved!


    More than 100 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses rushed over in succession.


    The great battle shocked the heavens!


    It was just a pity that on the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s side, there were only a scanty 20 over Jade Sovereign Heavens, virtually one person had to face seven to eight people by themselves!


    Although ascenders had unparalleled combat power, they also could not fend off such a huge difference in numbers.


    Huangfu Cloudthink smiled slightly and said, ��Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s people, whoever takes Ye Yuan down can not only not die, you can even have a place in the Pill Alliance!��


    At this time, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect still had a small portion of people who were hesitating.


    Among them, included Shi Feiyu!


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s words made his two eyes lit up.


    Almost without hesitation, he rushed toward Ye Yuan!


    ��Brat, he who understands the times is a wise man! Alliance Chief Huangfu already made you the holy son, what are you still discontented with?�� Shi Feiyu said with a cold smile.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s expressions changed.


    No one expected that Shi Feiyu could actually do such a shameless thing!


    But his strength was too strong!

 Chapter 2637 - Matching Powers!

    ��Shi Feiyu! You old fogey, how can you be so shameless!��


    In the midst of fierce fighting, when Feng Xuanyi saw this scene, he immediately burned with fury.


    Normally, when Shi Feiyu targeted Ye Yuan, although it was inappropriate in his eyes, it was also just a dispute caused by personal feelings.


    But now, during the sect��s time of crisis, he actually did this kind of despicable thing. It was truly shameless to the extreme.


    ��Shi Feiyu, if you want to seek death, I won��t stop you, but I, Shi Feiyu, don��t want to die!��


    Shi Feiyu laughed coldly and smacked a palm toward Ye Yuan.


    But right at this time, his expression changed, his entire body going numb and divine essence immediately became sluggish.


    Hundred Poison Formation!


    More than 20 years had passed. Ye Yuan��s Hundred Poison Formation became several times stronger than back then!


    Ye Yuan had unlocked Zhong Jianchou��s jade slips. There was a dazzling array of methods of using poison inside, greatly broadening Ye Yuan��s horizon.


    These poisons were added into the poison formation by Ye Yuan, its power multiplying!


    Even Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses would succumb too!


    When Huangfu Cloudthink saw this scene, he did not reveal a look of surprise. He had long known that Ye Yuan had this move.


    This guy was not easy to capture at all.


    ��The power of this Hundred Poison Formation increased significantly again! Although it isn��t lethal to Jade Sovereign Heavens, they will probably have to stagnate for three to five breaths of time!�� Hundred Poison Formation exclaimed in admiration.


    Back then when Ye Yuan was at Cloudarch Great Nation, the Hundred Poison Formation could only stop Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses for half a breath of time.


    Now, the power grew by at least three to five times!


    Just as Huangfu Cloudthink was gasping in admiration, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body suddenly skyrocketed.


    A grayish-black small mountain suspended in his palm.


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s gaze turned intent and he cried out in surprise, ��Heavenly spirit treasure!��


    This small mountain was naturally the Heavenspan Mountain.


    At this point, Ye Yuan also did not have anything to hide anymore.


    Shi Feiyu wanted to kill him time and again. Now, he was even shameless to the extreme, Ye Yuan naturally would not hold back.


    The Hundred Poison Formation could only stop Shi Feiyu for three to five breaths of time, but to Ye Yuan, it was sufficient!


    Feeling the Heavenspan Mountain��s powerful undulations, Shi Feiyu��s expression changed abruptly.


    How could he expect that Ye Yuan actually still had this level of weapon on him!


    Ye Yuan did not even give him time to be surprised, the spell in his hand trembled and the Heavenspan Mountain turned into a streak of flowing light, smashing right towards Shi Feiyu!


    The power of the Heavenspan Mountain was even a notch above the Heaven Killing Battlespear.


    Although Ye Yuan could not unleash all of its power, it was enough to inflict severe injuries on the Shi Feiyu who was completely unguarded!


    Boom!


    Shi Feiyu��s chest took a solid hit, his entire being flying out backward, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    His cultivation realm was high and his powers were profound. Otherwise, this blow could have taken his old life.


    But even so, he suffered heavy wounds too, as if his internal organs had been displaced.


    But Ye Yuan was clearly not prepared to let him off. The remaining time was still enough for Ye Yuan to launch another attack!


    ��D-Don��t! Elder Ye, I was wrong! I was really wrong!��


    Shi Feiyu was utterly terrified, feeling the threat of death.


    But Ye Yuan ignored him and just silently made his move.


    Boom!


    Another blow!


    Shi Feiyu��s chest directly caved in.


    When everyone saw this scene, each of them was dumbfounded.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum bashed a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum to heavy injuries!


    This scene was too shocking!


    Forget about a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, even if it was a thousand Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums, it was also impossible to be a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum��s match!


    The gap between Sublime Stratum and Sovereign Stratum was not small.


    But Ye Yuan inflicted heavy wounds on Shi Feiyu to this extent!


    Shi Feiyu begged for mercy pitifully, but there was no compassion on Ye Yuan��s face at all.


    Due to being seriously injured, Shi Feiyu��s speed of detoxifying the poison also became much slower.


    And Ye Yuan was currently launching the third attack!


    ��Know how to beg for mercy now? Don��t you normally jump around very merrily? No need to look at him. Do you really think that the Pill Alliance will come to save you at this time? Elder Shi, are you thinking too much?�� Ye Yuan said calmly.


    Shi Feiyu looked with pleading eyes at Huangfu Cloudthink, but the latter did not have the intention of rescuing at all.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan grasped Huangfu Cloudthink��s mentality very well.


    To Huangfu Cloudthink, Shi Feiyu was merely a tool to probe Ye Yuan.


    Now, Ye Yuan showed his trump card. Huangfu Cloudthink��s goal was also achieved.


    Shi Feiyu became useless too.


    If he died, then he died!


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s attitude made Shi Feiyu despair.


    If he had long known it would be like this, might as well have risked his life!


    ��Elder Ye, I was wrong! It was all my fault in my past! Let me off! I��ll go and fight it out to the death with the Pill Alliance��s people!�� Shi Feiyu said with an indignant look.


    But Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need. Currently in this situation, having you or missing you is inconsequential. You set out on your journey first. Remember to run faster. Otherwise, if the sect��s people come, you��ll probably have to die again!��


    Boom!


    As he said, Ye Yuan urged the Heavenspan Mountain again and smashed toward Shi Feiyu.


    Attacking for more than ten times in a row, Shi Feiyu finally died completely.


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s faces could not help changing.


    A Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum was smashed to death just like that!


    This Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was really scary!


    But right at this time, Huangfu Cloudthink��s expression changed and his figure suddenly moved!


    It was only to see him tap the void in the direction of his own people, the void trembled violently!


    However, it was already too late!


    A large swathe of the Pill Alliance��s Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses died all at once.


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s gaze turned dark, and he said in a cold voice, ��You boy, are really a genius! This Hundred Poison Formation utilizes spatial rule to be as elusive as a ghost. Even this alliance chief still fell for your trick in the end! However, you don��t have a chance anymore!��


    Turns out that when Ye Yuan was bashing Shi Feiyu to death, he already quietly revolved the Hundred Poison Formation and quietly moved it to this side through spatial rule.


    This Hundred Poison Formation was colorless and odorless. It was extremely difficult to distinguish.


    But it clearly could not escape Huangfu Cloudthink��s eyes.


    It was just that, he was also stunned by Ye Yuan killing Shi Feiyu just now, that was why he overlooked it.


    Even if he had been keeping an eye out for Ye Yuan��s Hundred Poison Formation all along, Ye Yuan still succeeded.


    Ye Yuan just said indifferently, ��Oh, is that so? Hundred Poison Formation, spread!��


    It was only to see him pointing in the void. Everyone was uncertain what it meant.


    Because at the place where Ye Yuan pointed was completely void of anything.


    As if nothing happened at all.


    But Huangfu Cloudthink��s expression changed greatly!


    Because he felt this Hundred Poison Formation scatter all at once, becoming one miniature poison formation after another, dispersing in all directions.


    Furthermore, each miniature poison formation had spatial rule concealing its figure.


    The power of these miniature poison formations naturally could not compare to the large-scale poison formation, the damage it dealt toward Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses was negligible.


    But, it was tremendously harmful to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses!


    Suddenly, a large swathe of the powerhouses on the Pill Alliance��s side collapsed loosely!


    ��What are you all still in a daze for? Everyone, listen up! Break out of the encirclement! After getting out of the mountain, escape in all directions! Remember not to stop! As long as the green hills remain, there��ll always be wood to burn!�� Ye Yuan shouted coldly, reverberating throughout the entire Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.

 Chapter 2638 - No Escape from Fate!

    This cold cry finally made the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples wake up.


    They flung caution to the wind and started breaking out of the encirclement.


    Under the protection of Ye Yuan��s Hundred Poison Formation, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples mowed down all resistance.


    Seeing this scene, Huangfu Cloudthink��s gaze revealed a chill.


    ��Humph! This alliance chief felt that you��re a talent. That��s why I kept showing mercy. Since that��s the case, then this alliance chief can only resort to force!��


    A powerful to the extreme aura instantly locked onto Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan felt as uncomfortable as if his throat was being clutched.


    Huangfu Cloudthink was actually a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    Feeling Huangfu Cloudthink��s strength, Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart too.


    A deputy alliance chief actually had grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven strength, then what about the Alliance Chief?


    Could it be that fleeting and ephemeral Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    If that was the case, then the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect would really be finished!


    Huangfu Cloudthink did not look very awe-inspiring either. He just struck a palm over so lightly.


    Ye Yuan felt a lofty mountain-like force come at him head-on!


    Ye Yuan��s mind shook heavily. This palm seemed unremarkable, but actually, its utilization of rule was brilliant to the max!


    Virtually without hesitation, Ye Yuan executed spatial rule to try and avoid this blow.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was quick to the extreme!


    But Huangfu Cloudthink sneered and said, ��It��s useless! If I can��t even take care of you, a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, I can forget about being the deputy alliance chief!��


    Ye Yuan was greatly shocked!


    That invisible force seemed to be like a bone-infesting maggot, chasing after.


    Furthermore, the speed was even several times faster than him!


    In a blink of an eye, it caught up to Ye Yuan.


    He could not escape!


    Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and silently recited a spell.


    Suddenly, a giant mountain suddenly rose sharply in front of him!


    The small and exquisite Heavenspan Mountain grew into a giant mountain as high as the sky all of a sudden.


    Boom!


    That force just happened to arrive, directly landing on the giant mountain.


    The force penetrated the huge mountain!


    Ye Yuan felt a surge of huge force transmit right into his four limbs and bones.


    His body flew out backward involuntarily, fresh blood spurting wildly!


    This Huangfu Cloudthink was too strong!


    Ye Yuan had some guesses in his heart; Shi Feiyu was utterly not worth mentioning in front of Huangfu Cloudthink!


    In fact, probably even Sect Master Feng Xuanyi was not his match.


    This person��s combat power was not the least bit inferior to Xiao Feibai!


    Another sect master level powerhouse!


    This Pill Alliance actually possessed two sect master level powerhouses all at once. This was simply terrifyingly powerful.


    More importantly, that mysterious alliance chief never showed his face from start to finish.


    ��A puny little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum could actually block my Windrise Ethereal Palm, truly incredible! Not only is your alchemy path talent extremely high, but your martial path talent is also frighteningly strong! Are you really not considering joining the Pill Alliance?�� Huangfu Cloudthink looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    In reality, Huangfu Cloudthink had long seen through. It was impossible for Ye Yuan to join the Pill Alliance.


    If he did not even have this bit of ability to discern people, he, this deputy alliance chief, would also have an undeserved reputation.


    But he still did not give up.


    A talent like Ye Yuan was absolutely hard to come across in a million years.


    Even he felt ashamed of his inferiority in front of Ye Yuan too.


    He relied on the Pill Alliance��s profound foundation to have today��s achievements.


    But what did Ye Yuan have?


    Nothing!


    Ye Yuan forcefully reached the realm of true grade with his strength alone and started a Pill Pavilion, even causing a huge impact to the Pill Alliance.


    This was a grandmaster level figure!


    In time, Ye Yuan would absolutely be a Zhuo Bufan level existence!


    There was no doubt about this.


    Ye Yuan was heavily injured, but his face was very resolute as he said coolly, ��You know the answer. Why bother to waste your breath?��


    Huangfu Cloudthink sighed slightly and said, ��I know the answer, but I��m also earnest in my love for talents! In my eyes, a Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is less important than you!��


    These words made the faces of many Pill Alliance powerhouses change.


    Even when Holy Son came into being back then, Alliance Chief Huangfu did not give such a high evaluation either!


    Ye Yuan smiled brilliantly and said, ��But in my eyes, a hundred Pill Alliances isn��t as good as a fraction of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!��


    It was hard to come across a bosom friend in life!


    Luo Yunqing laid low for ten years just in order to move Ye Yuan.


    After entering the sect, Feng Xuanyi overrode all objections. This trust deserved Ye Yuan��s repayment!


    It was undeniable that there was a scum like Shi Feiyu in the sect.


    But there was more warmth.


    ��Humph! Don��t know how to appreciate favors! Since that��s the case, then this alliance chief will send you off!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s expression was frosty, a palm wind arising again!


    This palm was even fiercer than before.


    Ye Yuan��s divine essence was lacking. He was already unable to urge the Heavenspan Mountain anymore.


    Being a sect master class powerhouse, his strength was not what the current Ye Yuan could resist at all.


    Even if he had a heavenly spirit treasure like the Heavenspan Mountain in his hand, it would not work either!


    If the disparity in cultivation realm could be made up for by just using a treasure, then wouldn��t cultivation be a joke?


    The force carried the sound of the wind, making Ye Yuan��s clothes flutter wildly.


    But, facing this outrageous palm, Ye Yuan had a calm and collected look.


    Far away, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples already broke out of the encirclement, fleeing in all directions.


    On top of the mountain, Feng Xuanyi and Luo Yunqing were soaked in blood, killing their way in and out, practically already exhausted.


    Facing more than 180 Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratums, and also Xiao Feibai, this kind of sect master class powerhouse, it was useless no matter how strong he was.


    For the first time, facing death, Ye Yuan felt that he was very powerless.


    He could not even struggle!


    The Pill Alliance was too strong!


    No, it was him who was too weak!


    Even if he had Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum strength, he would not be so powerless too!


    Boom!


    There was a loud noise.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, that fearsome palm actually disappeared into thin air.


    A black-robed old man appeared out of thin air in front of Ye Yuan, leaving him in a trance.


    This black-robed old man gave him an indescribable feeling.


    A kind of fleeting and ephemeral feeling!


    Arriving at Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Ye Yuan felt like he had returned to the feeling when he had just been reborn again.


    Everything was without bluster and ostentation.


    All powers were operating under the shackles of this Heavenly Dao.


    But, this old man in front of Ye Yuan shattered his understanding.


    This old man seemed to have broken away from the shackles of Heavenly Dao, becoming a god who could fly up to heaven and tunnel into the earth.


    ��Boy, take it!��


    The black-robed old man did not even turn his head back, a streak of white light arrived with a howl.


    Ye Yuan reached his hand out to grab it and discovered that it was a fragmented piece of jade.


    ��Senior, this is ���� Ye Yuan said uncertainly.


    The black-robed old man said coolly, his tone being very calm, ��This is the Heavenly Phoenix Jade Penannular Pendant that Lord Zhuo passed down, each of the five great heavenly sects holds one of them! Lord Zhuo said that when the five great heavenly sects reach the brink of life and death, we can combine these five incomplete jade pendants together and tide over the hurdle. But sadly, it seems like it can��t be used it anymore. Take this piece of jade pendant and go!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Senior is Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum, right? With you around, could it be that you can��t stop the Pill Alliance too?��


    The black-robed old man laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, you��re a clever guy. Can��t you see through it? It��s impossible for the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect to escape its doom!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent!


    The black-robed old man��s meaning was very clear. There was indeed a Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum powerhouse in this Pill Alliance too!


    Furthermore, the black-robed old man seemed to lack the confidence to win!

 Chapter 2639 - Sect Destroyed!

    ��No need to struggle anymore. You have no hope! Surrender!�� Xiao Feibai looked at Feng Xuanyi who was covered in blood and said calmly.


    Xiao Feibai��s opponent was Feng Xuanyi.


    But Feng Xuanyi��s opponent was not just Xiao Feibai!


    This was a sect destroying battle, not an individual challenge.


    Xiao Feibai was strong, but among these hundred over Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, many of them were quasi-sect master level!


    They were also grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. Although they were not as strong, they were absolutely not what ordinary elders could compare to.


    The Pill Alliance��s strength was definitely more than just Xiao Feibai and Huangfu Cloudthink!


    Feng Xuanyi��s clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled. How did he have the appearance of a sect master of his generation?


    It was just that the firmness in his eyes made him not have the slightest dejection in terms of aura.


    A sect master of his generation was a sect master of his generation!


    Even if a hero reached a dead end, he would still shine with boundless radiance!


    Beside him, those from there Martial Secure Heavenly Sect who were still fighting became fewer and fewer.


    Under the Pill Alliance��s might, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect did not stand a chance at all.


    But during the battle, he glimpsed the sect��s disciples rushing out of the heavy encirclement through the corners of his eyes, and a hint of relief flashed across his eyes.


    He was grateful to Ye Yuan in his heart. He knew that only Ye Yuan could do this!


    ��Hahaha �� my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect has heaven surmounting pride! There��s only a sect master that dies after defeat; no lackey that drags out an ignoble existence! Yunqing, Ye Yuan, you must live on! With you guys around, my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect will illuminate the world again one day! Martial Uncle Yan, Feng Xuanyi will go first!��


    Feng Xuanyi held the Heaven Killing Battlespear in his hand. All of a sudden, his aura surged to the sky.


    A vague and insubstantial fluctuation instantly rendered the entire world with color.


    At this moment, Martial Secure Sect Master was akin to a fiendgod on earth.


    When Xiao Feibai saw this scene, his expression could not help changing slightly, a hint of respect showing in his eyes.


    He knew that Feng Xuanyi was burning his own world power here, to assault that fleeting and ephemeral Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum at the final moment!


    It was not for others, just for the last wisp of brilliance in life.


    It was impossible to reach Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum.


    But Feng Xuanyi��s strength would rise dramatically in an extremely short time.


    This was his final glory!


    After burning, he would be ashes.


    ��Sect Master, I��ll accompany you!�� Seeing Feng Xuanyi like this, Luo Yunqing yelled angrily.


    In this Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, the one that Luo Yunqing respected the most was Feng Xuanyi.


    Back then, he had faded into the crowd. It was Feng Xuanyi who had discerning eyes, noticing him in the crowd, encouraging him, walking all the way until today.


    A gentleman would die for his bosom friend!


    For the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s sake, Luo Yunqing could likewise sacrifice himself.


    But, right at the moment he immolated his world power, a powerful force suppressed over, scattering his immolation.


    ��Yunqing, you can��t die! Remember, from now on, Ye Yuan is the new Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Sect Master! You have to assist him and revitalize the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!�� Feng Xuanyi said in a cold voice.


    Luo Yunqing��s whole body trembled, but his gaze landed on Ye Yuan who was behind the black-robed old man.


    Ye Yuan himself also trembled all over.


    Feng Xuanyi did not choose Luo Yunqing, but chose him!


    This was a heavy entrustment!


    Feng Xuanyi��s gaze similarly landed on Ye Yuan.


    He was clear that Luo Yunqing��s sword intent surmounted the heavens, and was arrogant and unyielding; just like a sharp sword.


    But he was not the best candidate to revitalize the sect.


    In contrast, Ye Yuan had more leadership qualities and was more suited to leading the sect to rise again.


    Luo Yunqing clenched his jaws tightly and said with tears in his eyes, ��Sect Master, Yunqing got it!��


    Feng Xuanyi held the long spear out and said in a solemn voice, ��I��ll open up the path! You go out!��


    Swoosh!


    Feng Xuanyi stabbed with the long spear in his hands, his entire person turning into a streak of electricity, tearing across the sky!


    His speed and strength soared significantly in an instant.


    Clearly, it already exceeded the domain of Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!


    ��All move away!�� Xiao Feibai yelled coldly, immediately moving aside.


    He knew that the Feng Xuanyi at this time was like a firework shooting into the sky; shining with boundless radiance.


    Nobody could stop him at this moment!


    Xiao Feibai retreated quickly, but some Jade Sovereign Heavens did not have time to retreat, and was directly pierced through by Feng Xuanyi!


    Luo Yunqing did not dare to be neglectful, enduring the tremendous pain and following after.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look, but his heart hurt like it was pricked by a needle.


    ��Everyone listen up! I, Feng Xuanyi, immediately issue a sect master order, and appoint Luo Yunqing and Ye Yuan two people, as Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elders!��


    ��I, Feng Xuanyi, am willing to give up the position of Sect Master! But, Luo Yunqing and Ye Yuan, I��m protecting them for sure!��


    �� ��


    Scenes of past events flowed in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    The braver the current Feng Xuanyi was, the more painful it was for him.


    This sect master with great courage and great bearing would soon disappear like the wind.


    Feng Xuanyi��s life was flowing away rapidly.


    When Huangfu Cloudthink saw the situation, he could not help frowning slightly.


    He gave the black-robed old man a glance, then turned around and flew straight for Feng Xuanyi!


    Boom!


    Huangfu Cloudthink actually confronted Feng Xuanyi head-on!


    With one blow, Huangfu Cloudthink was directly blown away.


    But he did not suffer much damage.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. It turned out that earlier, Huangfu Cloudthink actually did not use his full strength yet!


    At present, Feng Xuanyi was a terrifying half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven existence.


    Huangfu Cloudthink could actually clash with Feng Xuanyi!


    This Huangfu Cloudthink��s strength was likely not far from Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum too.


    Feng Xuanyi was greatly surprised too, but he did not care about it, brandishing his spear and rushing forward again.


    The two people unfolded a terrifying to the extreme great battle in the air.


    Luckily, under Feng Xuanyi��s lead, the two already charged out of the encirclement.


    Luo Yunqing turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the horizon.


    However, another streak of light followed closely behind, chasing after.


    Who could it be if not Xiao Feibai?


    Clearly, the Pill Alliance was going to tear the weed out by the roots!


    But Feng Xuanyi was already powerless to stop him.


    The black-robed old man did not say anything all along. At this time, he suddenly spoke up, ��Boy, you should go now! Did you hear Xuanyi boy��s words just now?��


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    Ye Yuan��s finger joints were clenched by him until it made cracking sounds.


    The things that he had experienced were far too many.


    But such a terrible battle today still touched his nerves.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect that was once powerful and prosperous was destroyed just like that!


    Yes, from today onwards, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect would have its name removed from the Rainclear Continent!


    Ye Yuan was not a saint. Even if he had experienced too much, the hatred in his heart currently still filled his chest.


    He nodded his head fiercely and said, ��Senior, rest assured. I��ll avenge this hatred!��


    The black-robed old man turned his head, Ye Yuan could see the wrinkles on his face clearly.


    But there was a faint smile on the other party��s face and he said, ��There��s no need to take revenge! But you must pass down the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s inheritance! The Pill Alliance��s foundation surpasses your imagination, they are not what you can afford to provoke! Remember, before accumulating enough strength, you mustn��t take revenge!��


    Finished saying, the black-robed old man flicked his sleeves grandly.


    Ye Yuan only felt his two eyes go dark, directly being pushed into the space.


    He was greatly shocked in his heart! He did not expect that this old man��s understanding of spatial rule was actually so strong!


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!

 Chapter 2640 - Thistle South Sea Region

    Boom!


    An invisible fist force punched into the void at this moment.


    When the black-robed old man saw this scene, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    He had the mind to drag Ye Yuan back but already could not do it.


    He knew that the void seemed calm, but this punch rendered the void completely chaotic.


    The shattered space would tear Ye Yuan to shreds!


    When the black-robed old man saw the handsome youth who stepped out of the void, he had a solemn expression on his face.


    The youth looked at the black-robed old man and said smilingly, ��The new sect master is already dead. You guys �� can go with peace of mind. Don��t you say so, He Xuyan?��


    The black-robed old man��s pupils constricted and he said coldly, ��Your Pill Alliance really knows quite a lot! It��s just, I wonder if you guys really came from the south or not?��


    The youth smiled slightly and said, ��Guess.��


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Feng Xuanyi��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger, his gaze full of unwillingness.


    The undulation just now, he felt it clearly.


    Under this power, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to survive!


    Feng Xuanyi thought that by relying on He Xuyan��s strength, he could at least send Ye Yuan out.


    Who would have thought that this Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually so powerful!


    This was getting rid of the weeds by uprooting them!


    Xiao Feibai went to chase after Luo Yunqing too. Could he escape with his life?


    Feng Xuanyi felt that the world suddenly became incomparably dark.


    The Martial Secure Heavenly Sect did not even have a final trace of life anymore!


    Boom!


    Under Huangfu Cloudthink��s palm, Feng Xuanyi spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly.


    His time was up. His life was fading rapidly and his strength was also falling rapidly.


    The current Feng Xuanyi was no longer Huangfu Cloudthink��s match anymore.


    Huangfu Cloudthink laughed loudly and said, ��You all are too naive! How can Lord Alliance Chief possibly let Ye Yuan leave? Since he wasn��t willing to surrender, then he��s the Pill Alliance��s mortal enemy! Letting such an opponent live, we��ll find it hard to eat and sleep!��


    Each of Huangfu Cloudthink��s palm moves was stronger than the last, Feng Xuanyi was already powerless to parry.


    His pupils gradually dilated, carrying a strong unwillingness.


    All the way until the moment he died, he did not close his eyes too[1]!


    The youth looked at He Xuyan, still smiling brightly as he said, ��Alright. Now, the new and old sect master are both dead. Your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect can officially withdraw from the stage of history.��


    The aura on He Xuyan��s body gradually rose.


    He was different from Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. His aura was illusory, giving people a sacred feeling.


    This was the unique charm of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    ��I know that you��re very strong, but if you want to chomp down on me, this old bone, it will probably injure you badly too!�� He Xuyan seemed to have seen through everything, planning on fighting to the death.


    The youth was still very calm and said with a smile, ��Is that so? I��m afraid that this is just your wishful thinking.��


    As he said, there was an additional piece of jade ornament in the youth��s hand.


    When this jade ornament appeared, He Xuyan��s pupils constricted.


    He cried out in surprise, ��This �� Could this be the legendary grandmist treasure?��


    The youth smiled and said, ��That��s right, at least you have some knowledge!��


    He Xuyan said in surprise, ��Looks like you guys indeed came from the south!��


    The youth said coolly, ��Whether or not we came from the south isn��t important anymore. From now on, your five great heavenly sects will become the past. My Pill Alliance will unify the Rainclear Continent!��


    Waves of gentle light halo emitted from the jade ornament.


    Although the light halo was gentle, He Xuyan��s expression was unprecedentedly solemn.


    �� ��


    Three months later, in the extreme south of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, above the vast expanse of ocean, a ship made out of fine steel was currently approaching the shore.


    On the ship, four to five young men and women were rather excited.


    ��Heh, it��s the offshore water region not far ahead! After reaching the offshore water region, we��ll be completely safe!��


    ��The harvest this time is so big. It��s all thanks to Brother Haoyan! Not only did Brother Haoyan obtain the Water Concealment Pearl, this kind of treasure, but he also even attracted more than half of the true spirit sea race troops with his power alone.��


    ��Huhu, to talk about credit, it��s of course still Peiyun who contributed the most! She is of the grade five pre-natal water spirit physique. She��s most suitable for the Water Concealment Pearl. If not for her, we also wouldn��t have accomplished this feat.��


    Huang Haoyan looked towards Su Peiyun with a look of adoration.


    Su Peiyun was Calm South City��s city lord��s daughter, Huang Haoyan had courted her for a long time already.


    This time, he finally succeeded with the Water Concealment Pearl.


    Su Peiyun looked at Huang Haoyan and found him pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him and said smilingly, ��Big Brother Yan is too modest! Peiyun only went in to take some things. What credit is there? Rather, it��s Big Brother Yan, your strength stands head and shoulders above all others. Facing 3000 true spirit sea race members, you didn��t show the least bit of fear too, a real man!��


    When Huang Haoyan heard that, his heart burst with joy and he repeatedly said dare not.


    ��Eh, you guys, look! There��s someone in the sea!�� Suddenly a companion shouted.


    That person in the sea clearly saw this large ship too and had a look of joy on his face as he shouted loudly, ��Friends on the ship, can you give me a ride, I��ll be extremely grateful!��


    As he said, he did not wait for everyone to agree either and actually leaped straight onto the large ship.


    When Huang Haoyan saw the arrival, his brows furrowed hard.


    This person was dressed in white clothing, full of bloodstains on it. His aura was also very disorderly. Clearly, he had sustained considerable injuries.


    With regards to such a guy with unknown origins, Huang Haoyan was naturally unwilling to bring alone.


    ��Who are you?! How rude! Did this young lady let you onto the boat?�� Su Peiyun flew off the handle first.


    The youth in white clothing smiled bitterly and said, ��Really sorry about it! I got lost in the sea and have already drifted for more than a month. I finally managed to run into you all. Can you let me hitch a ride? Otherwise, I wouldn��t even be able to find the way back!��


    Su Peiyun rolled her eyes and said, ��Your direction was completely wrong. Of course, you couldn��t find your way back! This guy is so reckless, to actually dare rush the Thistle South Sea Region all alone by himself, courting death? To be able to reach here alive, really don��t know how lucky you got! Brainless fellow!��


    The youth in white clothes smiled bitterly and said, ��What Miss said is true! I don��t have any malicious intent. These few heavenly pills, just take it as recompense to thank the few of you, how��s that?��


    As he said, the youth in white clothes took out five heavenly pills.


    The moment Su Peiyun and the rest saw, they could not help crying out in surprise, ��Grand completion ninth grade! Grade two Heavenly Pith Pill!��


    The few people exchanged glances, clearly moved by it.


    The Heavenly Pith Pill was a superb heavenly pill for cultivation. Furthermore, it was even grand completion ninth grade, it was not up to them to not be moved.


    The youth in white clothes gave Su Peiyun and glance and said with a smile, ��Miss seems to cultivate a water-attribute cultivation method, I just happen to have a Water Intent Condensed Fragrance Pill on me. I believe that Miss has use for it!��


    Su Peiyun opened her mouth wide and was rendered speechless and lifeless.


    A grand completion ninth grade level Water Intent Condensed Fragrance Pill was simply a priceless treasure to her!


    The things that they obtained in the true spirit sea clan might not compare to this when added up too!


    One had to know, the Water Intent Condensed Fragrance Pill could help her increase her rule realm.


    A grand completion ninth grade Water Intent Condensed Fragrance Pill was sufficient to improve her power of rule further.


    The gazes that the few people looked towards the man in white with, immediately became different.


    Just as everyone was surprised, a huge wave suddenly stirred up behind the large ship.


    Huang Haoyan��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��Not good, those guys must have discovered that the Treasure Depository Pavilion in the tribe was robbed! They are catching up!��


    [1] In Chinese folklore, if someone dies with their eyes open, it means that they died with grievances.

 Chapter 2641 - : Senior!

    ��A few brats who are still wet behind their ears actually dares to steal our merfolk tribe��s treasure? Simply tired of living! Do you all think that you can leave after stealing the treasure? In this ocean, our true spirit sea race is the true king!��


    An enormous merfolk was galloping on the surface of the sea, riding the wind and waves, akin to flat land.


    Their speed was actually several times faster than this large ship!


    They were unbelievably stinky. But the fury on their faces currently was evident to all.


    These few fellows actually robbed their Treasure Depository Pavilion!


    What was even more aggravating was that there was actually also the merfolk clan��s sacred item in it!


    Under their fury, the merfolk tribe dispatched large numbers of troops and chased after.


    As far as the eyes could see, it was full of fish heads into the distance.


    There was a dense and black mass, unable to see any end in sight.


    Roughly counting, there were likely no fewer than several thousand!


    These thousands of merfolk, the vast majority were Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, but there were also quite a few hundred that were Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    And these few people on the boat, only Su Peiyun and Huang Haoyan were upper Greater Sublime Heaven.


    The others were all middle Greater Sublime Heaven.


    Once caught up, they would be dead for sure/


    ��This �� What to do here? We �� We��re dead for sure!��


    ��Damn it, how did they find out so quickly? With the few of our strength, we��d definitely be dead beyond a doubt if caught up!�� Huang Haoyan swept a glance over everyone and said in a solemn voice.


    As for the man in white clothing, he was directly overlooked by him.


    A middle Greater Sublime Heaven, what use could he be of?


    ��Big Brother Yan, didn��t you lure away 3000 seafolk previously? Why don��t you try luring away again?�� Su Peiyun suddenly looked at Huang Haoyan, her eyes full of hope.


    Huang Haoyan��s face turned black, and he nearly cussed out.


    He merely made use of some methods before to gain an advantage by trickery.


    Actually, he did not dare to show his face at all.


    Got to be joking!


    One person luring a few thousand people, even if he grew ten heads, it would not be enough to chop either.


    ��Peiyun, you aren��t aware. After I use that method, I need half a month before I can use it again! Right now �� sigh!�� Huang Haoyan told a fib.


    Su Peiyun did not suspect anything either, but the sense of loss in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    The man in white said, ��That �� I have a way. But I don��t know if it will work or not.��


    Su Peiyun smiled coldly when she heard that and said, ��Even Big Brother Yan has no way, then what method can you, a measly little middle Greater Sublime Heaven have? Don��t annoy me!��


    Toward this brainless fellow, Su Peiyun found him displeasing to the eye no matter how she looked at him.


    Running to the Thistle South Sea Region all by himself. In the end, he could not even find where north was.


    What method could this kind of moron possibly have?


    As for taking out these incredible heavenly pills, the few people guessed that this fellow was probably some alchemy great family��s descendant.


    It was just that he did not bring his brain out of the house.


    Rather, it was Huang Haoyan who suddenly spoke up, ��Treat a dead horse tentatively as if it was still alive! Peiyun, let��s hear it?��


    Su Peiyun was anxious in her heart, but also had no plans and could only nod her head.


    Huang Haoyan said in a solemn voice, ��What idea you have, quickly say it!��


    The man in white said, ��Uh �� run!��


    Everyone fell down!


    Freaking hell �� what kind of crap idea was this?


    Still need you to say run?


    Huang Haoyan felt a wave of anger from being played and said in a great rage, ��Punk, you��re messing with me?��


    The man in white smiled and said, ��What I mean is, let��s run first. After I recover strength, I��ll have a way.��


    As he said, the man in white ignored everyone��s strange gazes and went to meditate in a corner of the deck by himself.


    Huang Haoyan was angered until he ground his teeth, but now was not the time to blow his top.


    Running was number one!


    He gritted his teeth and said, ��Peiyun, throw all of the sea spirit pearls obtained this time into the array formation! Activate the array formation to the highest setting! There��s only this method now!��


    Su Peiyun bit her lips lightly. Finally, she still nodded her head.


    The sea spirit pearl was a specialty of the true spirit sea race. Consuming one was equivalent to ten years of bitter cultivation!


    They plundered the merfolk clan��s lair this time and obtained a large quantity of sea spirit pearls. Originally, they planned on using it to break through.


    In the end, they had no choice but to use them to flee now.


    Sure enough, the moment the sea spirit pearls were thrown into the array formation, the speed of the ship soared at once.


    Although it still did not compare to those merfolk, they could not catch up in a short time.


    Only then did Huang Haoyan and the rest heave a sigh in relief.


    Su Peiyun looked at Ye Yuan and said in a great rage, ��You this fellow, getting on the boat without our permission. Now, you��re still acting completely fine here! How can you be so shameless?��


    This man in white was precisely Ye Yuan.


    That strike from the Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief made him almost die.


    The shattered void practically tore him apart.


    Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Yuan comprehended the second level of spatial rule, that was how he escaped by a fluke.


    Even so, he drifted in the void for two months too, before he finally got out.


    However, he arrived in a foreign place, all around him being the ocean!


    Suddenly descending upon Thistle South Sea Region, Ye Yuan had a stunned face.


    It was all the same all around!


    Helpless, Ye Yuan could only randomly find a direction and proceed all the way.


    But, he ran into heaps and heaps of sea monsters along the way.


    The moment these sea monsters saw him, they pounced over to kill him without heed for their lives.


    Furthermore, these sea monsters were extremely strong.


    This sea was their natural battlefield.


    In this place, they far surpassed same rank humans. Their strength could not be underestimated.


    But unfortunately, they ran into Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan killed all the way over, killing for a month��s time before finally seeing Huang Haoyan and the rest.


    In the end, he did not expect that this bunch of guys were even more of a troublemaker, provoking a clan of sea monsters!


    Seeing Su Peiyun fly off the handle, Huang Haoyan frowned and said, ��Peiyun, now isn��t the time to haggle over this! If we can get out by chance, it won��t be too late to denounce him publicly then!��


    When Su Peiyun saw Huang Haoyan speak, she was very obedient.


    But she was full of unhappiness when she looked at Ye Yuan.


    ��You �� You guys, quickly look ahead!�� At this time, a companion suddenly cried out in surprise.


    When Huang Haoyan heard that, he was greatly surprised. Could it be that there was true spirit sea race obstructing in front too?


    If that was the case, they would really be dead for sure.


    However, he looked in the direction pointed by his companion and immediately had a stupefied look.


    There were corpses of the seafolk everywhere on the surface of the sea!


    The undulations coming off of some corpses were very powerful, enough to be grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven!


    Suddenly, Huang Haoyan��s eyes lit up and he said, ��Could it be that there was a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum senior who passed by here? If we can find him, there will be hope of surviving!��


    Su Peiyun��s eyes also lit up, and she came in front of Ye Yuan and questioned, ��Hey! You came from this direction earlier, right? Did you encounter any senior?��


    Ye Yuan was still regulating his breathing and ignored her.


    When Su Peiyun saw that Ye Yuan did not even pay attention to her, she immediately flew into a great rage!


    ��Punk, we kindly took you in, but in the end, you actually put on airs on the boat! Do you really think that this young lady doesn��t dare to kill you?��


    Under her fury, Su Peiyun suddenly smacked a palm over.


    But it hit nothing.


    Ye Yuan��s body was already standing on the side of the ship.


    He already finished recuperating!


    His strength recovered to its peak again!


    Ye Yuan turned to Su Peiyun and smiled as he said, ��I didn��t encounter any senior. But I have a way now!��

 Chapter 2642 - Driving Back the Enemy

    ��A way? What method can you have?�� Su Peiyun said disdainfully.


    But, just as she was talking, Ye Yuan already leaped and jumped into the sea.


    At this time, those merfolk were merely a dozen over miles away from the boat.


    With Ye Yuan jumping, he faced off against the merfolk army in virtually an instant.


    This scene stupefied Huang Haoyan, Su Peiyun, and the rest.


    ��W-What does this guy want to do?�� Su Peiyun said in surprise.


    ��Who cares about him! If he wants to seek death, it can��t be blamed on us! Let��s quickly go!�� Huang Haoyan said.


    The stupefied ones were not just them. There was also the merfolk army.


    They never thought that there was actually someone who dared to jump down from the boat at this time!


    Wasn��t this courting death?


    Could it be that this boy was tired of living?


    Ye Yuan looked at the merfolk leader and said coolly, ��Give me face and give them a way out. How about it?��


    The merfolk leader was enraged and said, ��Where did this punk come from, to dare spout nonsense in front of this general! Smash over for me; tear him to shreds!��


    Having received the order, each and every one of them in the army flashed their harpoons and spears, and they charged over toward Ye Yuan.


    Several thousand people in a mighty contingent, this kind of power made the expressions of the few people on the ship change.


    They knew that in this ocean, there would often be conflicts between races, the fighting was even more terrible than on the mainland.


    But the interior of these races was incomparably united.


    An army of 3000 humans was absolutely not the match for 3000 merfolk.


    Let alone that there was only Ye Yuan alone facing them.


    On the ship, a companion suddenly cried out in surprise, ��I understand now! The method that he spoke of was to challenge the entire merfolk army by himself! Is this guy a moron?��


    Su Peiyun two people were taken aback and also came back to their senses.


    It was just that in their view, this was no different from courting death.


    Su Peiyun rolled her eyes and said, ��A fool who overestimates his own ability! Him coming to Thistle South Sea Region alone to roam is a very foolish behavior to begin with!��


    The army got closer and closer to Ye Yuan. Finally, they clashed!


    Boom!


    Waves splashed!


    Ye Yuan��s skinny figure was instantly engulfed by the army and seawater.


    Huang Haoyan shook his head and said, ��The ignorant is fearless! A shame, this guy didn��t even block for a second!��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s behavior of seeking death, Huang Haoyan and the rest did not have much pity.


    What he found regrettable was that Ye Yuan could not tie down the merfolk army in the slightest.


    The merfolk army was still rushing towards them.


    But very soon, they discovered that something was not right.


    The huge wave had been churning endlessly. Furthermore, it was extremely irregular; completely different from before.


    And the speed of the army��s advance also gradually slowed down.


    Suddenly, a figure rose into the sky, bringing along a pile of minced meat which exploded.


    The eyes of the few people on the boat became wide-saucers!


    However, this figure disappeared in a flash and landed in the merfolk army once more.


    ��I-Is my eyesight failing? Just now �� was it that boy?�� Huang Haoyan was shocked until he was even stammering when speaking.


    Su Peiyun also had a look of shock as she said, ��He �� He actually didn��t die? That��s the merfolk army!��


    Under the assault of an army of several thousand merfolk, not only did Ye Yuan not die, he actually still had the leeway to retaliate!


    How could they not be shocked?


    What was more, this guy was just a mere middle Greater Sublime Heaven!


    Before long, the changes in the merfolk army became more and more apparent.


    The army was already in utter disarray.


    Huang Haoyan saw it clearly, the merfolk leader also had no choice but to lead his men to rush back to the central army.


    Amidst the army and waves, a blood-stained white figure appeared and disappeared, appearing bizarre and mysterious.


    The more Huang Haoyan and the rest watched, the more shocked they got. The more they looked, the more jittery they became.


    This guy actually killed the entire merfolk army until they were in a sorry state with his power alone?


    They naturally did not know that along with Ye Yuan comprehending spatial rule, coupled with this month of frenzied killing, he already comprehended the second form of Great Dao Transformation!


    The form of the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree already grew into a seedling from a sprout!


    The transformed swords already evolved from two to eight!


    Furthermore, the power increased greatly!


    Unless he similarly encountered second form powerhouses, otherwise, Ye Yuan was virtually invincible in Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Coupled with that Ye Yuan��s power was profound and his breath was drawn-out, as well as that he was highly proficient in Formation Dao.


    It was also akin to flat ground in the army.


    Unless a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse appeared, otherwise, to Ye Yuan, there was not much difference between killing one and killing a thousand.


    However, in the eyes of Huang Haoyan and co who did not know the inside story, it was totally different.


    At this time, his companion suddenly said, ��Brother Haoyan, when that boy got on the ship before, his aura was very chaotic! Furthermore, he came over from this sea region. You look, so many true spirit seafolk died in this sea region, they wouldn��t have �� all been killed by him, right?��


    ��Impossible!�� Huang Haoyan seemed to have had his tail stepped on, nearly jumping up. Shaking his head repeatedly, he said, ��So many seafolk, unless it��s a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum senior, otherwise, how can it be possible ����


    Talking until here, he could not carry on speaking.


    Because he knew that it was extremely likely!


    At least, there was more than 90% probability!


    If it was not Ye Yuan, that would also be too coincidental!


    Turning back to look at those countless corpses, Huang Haoyan felt rather parched.


    ��He wouldn��t have killed all the way over, right?�� Huang Haoyan looked at Su Peiyun and revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying.


    When ordinary humans entered the sea, they would have many methods to evade these seafolk.


    Unless one��s strength reached Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, otherwise, who dared to kill all the way over?


    In the ocean, the numbers of the true spirit sea race simply could not be tallied.


    Their numbers were hundreds, even thousands of times of the human race!


    Furthermore, in the ocean, the strength of these seafolk increased greatly, far surpassing same rank humans.


    Under this kind of circumstances, he killed his way over.


    Even thinking about it felt scary!


    The smile on Su Peiyun��s face did not look any better than Huang Haoyan��s.


    In her heart, Huang Haoyan was the chosen one.


    When Ye Yuan just appeared, she looked down on him from the bottom of her heart and her words were very unpleasant too.


    In the end, he was unbelievably impressive.


    Luckily, Ye Yuan did not have malicious intent. Otherwise, when she made a move to deal with Ye Yuan earlier, he would have directly killed her.


    Just her bit of strength, it was really not enough to look at in front of Ye Yuan.


    The merfolk leader cried out strangely repeatedly and disregarded his subordinates too, turning tail and running. He shouted, ��Wawawa! This boy is too strong, we��re not a match! Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!��


    Ye Yuan seemed to be in his own backyard amidst the army of thousands.


    Killing here and there, nobody could stop him at all!


    The merfolk leader was extremely strong and barely managed to escape death. But one arm was severed by Ye Yuan too.


    How could this merfolk leader still dare to continue fighting?


    Came quickly, left quickly too.


    With a howl, the merfolk army disappeared without a trace, only leaving behind a pile of corpses floating on the surface of the sea.


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was extremely fast. With a few ups and downs, he already caught up to the large ship.


    When his figure landed on the deck again, the few people on the boat immediately tensed up fully.


    This guy was simply a ruthless murderer!

 Chapter 2643 - Land of Heavenly South

    ��S-Senior, just now �� I��ve offended you just now,�� Huang Haoyan said with a deathly pale complexion.


    The combat power that Ye Yuan displayed struck deep terror into him.


    Thinking of how his group of people was even posturing in front of him, there was a feeling of courting death.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered to stoop to his level and said indifferently, ��Where is this place?��


    Huang Haoyan hurriedly said, ��This place is the Thistle South Sea Region.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Thistle South Sea Region? How far is it from the Five Light Heavenly Region?��


    It was his first time hearing this name. Ye Yuan only knew that the Rainclear Continent��s domain was massive, the Five Great Heavenly Regions could not completely cover it.


    The borders of the Rainclear Continent were the endless sea region.


    These sea regions were the forbidden areas for the powerhouses on the continent.


    Because there were countless powerful life forms in the ocean!


    Even a Saint Sovereign Heaven could not rely on their individual power to cross the sea region too.


    Because there were some existences rivaling Saint Sovereign Heaven in the ocean, and even more terrifying existences.


    He did not expect that he actually came to the sea in an accident arising from many causes!


    It was just that, did not know what coordinates this sea region was in the Five Light Heavenly Region, and how far away it was.


    Ye Yuan was very concerned about the Five Light Heavenly Region��s situation. Although he knew that the Five Light Heavenly Region and the black-robed old man likely had a bleak chance of survival, but not getting the news, he still could not give up.


    It was just that on the vast ocean, where would he go to inquire about the news?


    ��Five Light Heavenly Region? That��s the Central Plains, it��s at least several decades of journey away from here! Furthermore, there��s even a Myriad Demons Mountain separating in the middle! Senior actually came from the Five Light Heavenly Region?�� Huang Haoyan said in surprise.


    There were countless great demons in the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    There were even a whole bunch of Jade Sovereign Heaven level true spirits.


    It was very hard for Huang Haoyan to imagine how Ye Yuan came here from the Five Light Heavenly Region.


    Although he repelled the merfolk army alone, it was also impossible to be a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum��s match, let alone talk about Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum true spirits.


    Ye Yuan became even more mysterious in the eyes of the few people there.


    The moment Ye Yuan heard this, he could not help feeling his head swell.


    Several decades of journey, that was really too far!


    With his current speed on food, traveling 100 thousand over miles a day was par for the course.


    Several decades of journey, that would have to be calculated in hundreds of millions!


    Ye Yuan did not reply Huang Haoyan��s questioning and continued asking, ��Looking at your attire, you don��t look like a fisherman on the sea. Could it be that the land that you guys are living on, actually doesn��t belong to the Five Great Heavenly Regions?��


    Huang Haoyan nodded and said, ��The Five Great Heavenly Regions occupy 80% of Rainclear Continent��s domain. But our Land of Heavenly South just happens to be part of that 20%. Oh, I heard my father say that our Land of Heavenly South is called the Land of Barbaric South out of your mouths. The few of us are all the Land of Heavenly South��s southernmost tip��s Calm South City��s people.��


    Speaking of the Land of Barbaric South, Ye Yuan had some impression of it.


    When he was in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, he had naturally read many records before. Among them were records of the Land of Barbaric South.


    There were even legends that Zhuo Bufan��s disappearance was actually going out to sea from the Land of Barbaric South and he had not returned to this day!


    It was just that, this version was untenable in the eyes of many people.


    After all, there were far too many powerhouses in the sea.


    However, the Five Great Heavenly Regions were separated by a Myriad Demons Mountain from this place, so there were very few records.


    Ye Yuan knew about the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    In this mountain, there were countless true spirits. There were probably even more Jade Sovereign Heaven level true spirits than humans.


    He heard that there were even Saint Sovereign Heaven level true spirits in it.


    Therefore, no matter which faction, they all did not dare to make a move against the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    Even Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses did not dare to easily climb over the Myriad Demons Mountain too.


    Unless one��s strength reached Saint Sovereign Heaven level, only then could they suppress the great demons there.


    He did not expect that he drifted in the void and actually ran so far all at once, directly being thrown into the sea.


    Arriving here was not all bad either.


    At least, he would not be pursued by the Pill Alliance.


    But the problem was, he wanted to take revenge and could not go back for the time being as well.


    With his current strength, there was simply no way to cross the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    Could it be that he really had to cultivate to Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum before he could return?


    At that time, he would not be afraid of the Pill Alliance anymore. Except, how long would it take?


    When Ye Yuan was drifting in the void, he had once thought of many ways to seek revenge.


    He firmly believed that as long as he hid in the dark, he could cause heavy losses to the Pill Alliance!


    But now, all of it could not be used anymore.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression flickered incessantly, anger looming in his eyes, Huang Haoyan did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    Finally, Ye Yuan let out a long sigh and said, ��Since I came, I might as well stay and make the best of it! Bring me to Calm South City then!��


    Huang Haoyan was taken aback when he heard that and said, ��Senior wants to go to Calm South City?��


    ��Why? Can��t I?�� Ye Yuan retorted with a question.


    Huang Haoyan shook his head repeatedly and said, ��No, no, no! Of course, you can! If Senior wants to go, we naturally welcome you.��


    How could he afford to provoke Ye Yuan? He hurriedly agreed.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan asked a lot about the situation in the Land of Heavenly South.


    Calm South City was a major city in the south and was quite strong.


    Because the Heavenly Stratum powerhouses here would suffer the attack of the true spirit sea race from time to time.


    Here, there was no difference between ascenders and native forces.


    As long as one was strong enough, they could survive. No one would discriminate against an individual for being an ascender.


    Ye Yuan understood this point too.


    This was because the seafolk were too powerful!


    The number of true spirit seafolk was simply an astronomical figure.


    Even if one stacked with human heads, the pressure on the various races on land was tremendous too.


    Regardless of whether it was a native faction or ascenders, they all had to face the threat of the sea race. They had no choice but to stick together and unite against the foreign forces.


    Although the sea was rich in produces, the living conditions were not as good as on land.


    Therefore, the true spirit sea race would follow the current during the morning and evening tides and attack the city.


    Their goal was nothing more than to plunder the materials and treasures of humans.


    Furthermore, the true spirit sea race was bloodthirsty. Every time they reached a place, there would be a bloodbath.


    Therefore, the various races�� Heavenly Stratum powerhouses on land were irreconcilably hostile with the sea race.


    But the sea was vast and also an excellent place to train.


    Therefore, the various races�� powerhouses would often head to the sea in groups, firstly to hunt for treasures. Secondly, it was to train.


    Huang Haoyan this group of people��s trip was precisely to go and train.


    It was just that they did not expect to cause such a big commotion.


    ��Logically speaking, you guys only stole some treasures. The merfolk tribe shouldn��t have gone so far as to be so irreconcilable till death, insisting on hunting you all down. Did you guys steal something incredible?�� Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    Huang Haoyan shook his head and said, ��There are quite a few good stuff, but there��s also no amazing treasure!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Let me see!��


    Huang Haoyan did not dare to disobey. The few people took out all of the treasures obtained, virtually covering half of the deck.


    When Ye Yuan saw, he could not help rolling his eyes too.


    This bunch of guys could really cause trouble!


    After stealing so many treasures, it would have been strange if the merfolk tribe did not go crazy!


    Fortunately, the merfolk tribe was not considered strong. He could barely manage to handle it.


    If a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse came, Ye Yuan would have long run by himself.


    After checking it, Ye Yuan did not discover anything peculiar either.


    But there were a few items that Ye Yuan felt were rather good.


    Among them was a conch-like item that caught Ye Yuan��s attention.

 Chapter 2644 - Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit

    ��What is this?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The few people shook their heads one after another. Clearly, they did not know what that was.


    Ye Yuan looked at it carefully for a moment but did not have a clue either.


    This conch gave him a mysterious aura. But, as for what the mystery was, he could not say for sure either.


    In the end, he could only give up.


    Ye Yuan threw the conch back and said coolly, ��Alright, I can��t see through it either. Aren��t your families all pretty impressive? Go back and let your elders take a look. Maybe they can discern something.��


    Huang Haoyan looked at Ye Yuan with some surprise. He even thought that Ye Yuan wanted to look at the treasures because he planned to rip them off.


    In the end, Ye Yuan did not even look at them.


    How could he know that as the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s elder, Ye Yuan had seen before god knows how many good items. How could he eye these little things?


    This merfolk tribe was merely a small tribe. It was far too lacking compared to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    Of course, even if there was good stuff, Ye Yuan was disdainful to rob them using this sort of method too.


    The party sailed for close to a month and finally returned to the shore.


    Only after traveling for more than ten days did they reach Calm South City.


    Calm South City was very grand. An extremely powerful array formation was even reinforced on the city walls.


    Ye Yuan measured it with his eyes. It had probably already reached the level of rank three heavenly formation.


    This array formation was a defensive grand array. Most likely, even if dozens of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses besieged it, they would not be able to breach it too.


    Entering the city, Ye Yuan said to the few people, ��You all return to your respective homes and find your families. I��ll walk around on my own.��


    The moment Huang Haoyan heard, he felt like he was granted amnesty and was just about to open his mouth, but he heard Su Peiyun say, ��Senior Ye, you��ve just arrived here and are a stranger in a strange place. Why don��t I be your guide?��


    Seeing that Ye Yuan had the intention of rejecting, she hurriedly said again, ��Senior, calculating the time, our Calm South City is currently organizing the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit right now. The Thistle South Nine Cities�� well-known alchemy masters are all gathered here.��


    When Huang Haoyan by the side saw that Su Peiyun was so warm toward Ye Yuan, it felt like he was chewing wax.


    But he had to admit, this really moved him.


    Having just arrived, understanding the alchemy path strength of the Land of Heavenly South was also within reason.


    As for Su Peiyun��s thoughts, Ye Yuan knew a little too.


    This lass probably wanted to rope him in.


    He was not narcissistic to the point where he thought that he was everyone��s darling.


    This girl��s fear toward him was probably a little greater.


    After all, slaughtering all directions in the army of several thousand merfolk, the impression that this scene left in the hearts of the few people was too shocking.


    Huang Haoyan was probably thinking too much.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care about Huang Haoyan��s thoughts. As long as he did not provoke him, everything could be discussed.


    If he provoked him, Ye Yuan did not mind sending him off.


    He rode their boat, gifted them heavenly pills, and repelled the merfolk army. It was already sufficient as repayment.


    In fact, the value was far more than that!


    They owed nothing to each other anymore.


    ��Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit? A little interesting! Come on!�� Ye Yuan said.


    He knew that there were nine large cities on the shore of the Thistle South Sea Region. The purpose was to resist the invasion of the true spirit sea race.


    This Calm South City��s array formation was probably not what an ordinary person could set up too.


    There was clearly an even greater backer behind the nine cities.


    ��That �� our Huang Family is also taking part in the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit and I��m just about to go over to take a look. Why don��t we go together?�� Huang Haoyan thickened his skin and asked.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, indifferent to it.


    When Su Peiyun saw Ye Yuan agree, she was naturally overjoyed.


    Such a terrifying existence, once he broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he would surely be a powerhouse of a region!


    Even her father might not be able to do anything to him too.


    As for the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit, she was really not counting on Ye Yuan for anything.


    She knew that Ye Yuan must have come from an alchemy faction. But Ye Yuan himself was an ascender. Furthermore, his cultivation realm was not high. No matter how strong he was, he could not be very strong.


    The more likely situation was that Ye Yuan was a top disciple that some powerful faction was taking great pains to groom, and he came out for a trial this time.


    Therefore, bringing so many powerful heavenly pills on him was also not at all surprising.


    �� ��


    ��300 thousand heavenly crystals, going once!��


    ��300 thousand heavenly crystals, going twice!��


    ��300 thousand heavenly crystals, going thrice, deal! Congratulations to Skybless City��s Family Head Qin, for obtaining the sixth grade One Heart Life Crossing Pill! Also, congratulations to Water Billow City��s Master Zuo Fang for winning the laurel again!��


    ��Water Billow City again! Water Billow City has already taken down three cities and is seated firmly in the top spot!��


    ��Master Zuo Fang is incredible! This One Heart Life Crossing Pill, he can actually refine the realm of sixth grade, truly remarkable!��


    ��The poor host, Calm South City, they are still empty until now! The Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit this time, they will probably be at the bottom again!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan few people had just entered the venue when they felt that the atmosphere here had already reached a climax.


    The Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit had already been held for five days. Right now, the competitions between all parties had already reached a white-hot stage.


    The nine cities�� heavenly alchemists had undergone a total of 15 rounds of competition. Currently, Water Billow City took first place five times and firmly occupied the throne of first place.


    While the host, Calm South City, was already shaved bald, which was very embarrassing.


    On the way here, Su Peiyun already introduced the rules of the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit, Ye Yuan was already perfectly clear about it.


    Each round, the nine cities would each send out a heavenly alchemist to refine a kind of heavenly pill.


    The type of heavenly pills could be different. But, after the refining was completed, the summit��s judge would carry out a comprehensive evaluation according to the heavenly pill��s refining difficulty, quality, as well as practicality and other areas, to determine which city won.


    After judging, the heavenly pill that won would be auctioned on the spot.


    While the other heavenly pills were destroyed on the spot.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation at the auction, he was slightly surprised too.


    He originally thought that this Land of Barbaric South was very remote. The heavenly medicine techniques were bound to be very backward.


    But who knew that the strength of these heavenly alchemists was quite good?


    The One Heart Life Crossing Pill was a very high difficulty kind among grade three heavenly pills. It was not far from heavenly imperial pill!


    That Zuo Fang could actually refine sixth grade. This showed that his strength was extraordinary.


    At least, this Zuo Fang��s strength was not the slightest bit weaker when compared to those Pill Alliance establishment lords that Ye Yuan had challenged before.


    ��Hahaha, Su Yi, your Calm South City��s heavenly alchemists really didn��t improve at all! In the last Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit, you all took first place once at any rate. This time, it looks like you��re going to be shaved bald!��


    In the VIP area, Water Billow City��s city lord was currently mocking Calm South City��s city lord, Su Yi, who was also Su Peiyun��s father.


    Su Yi��s expression was grim until it was almost dripping water.


    Behind Su Yi, several heavenly alchemists were all blushing with embarrassment, but they could not find the words to retort.


    The Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit this time, they really had a complete loss of face.


    ��Sun Yunjing, don��t you be arrogant! This Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit is only halfway through!�� Su Yi said with a cold snort.


    Water Billow City��s city lord, Sun Yunjing was indifferent and said with a loud laugh, ��Huhu, yes, it��s only halfway through. But as far as I know, Ge Ling is already your Calm South City��s strongest grade three heavenly alchemist, right? Who else are you planning to send onto the stage later?��


    Su Yi could not help choking when he heard that, he discovered that Calm South City actually had no one that they could use anymore!


    Even the strongest was defeated. How could they even fight?


    The host was shaved bald. It was really utterly humiliating!

 Chapter 2645 - Tell You!

    Chapter 2645: Tell You!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Uncle Sun, what you said is wrong! Your Water Billow City is close to Heavenly South City. Being in a favorable position. You had the advantage in timing, geographical, and human conditions, and have always been number one, that��s why you became stronger and stronger. What��s the use of bullying our Calm South City? If you have the ability, beat Heavenly South City!��


    At this time, Su Peiyun��s words interrupted Sun Yunjing��s reproving.


    When Su Yi saw Su Peiyun, he had a look of pleasant surprise as he said, ��Little Su, you��re finally back!��


    Su Peiyun smiled and said, ��Father, Yun-er just went to train. Do you have to be like this?��


    The father and daughter two people clearly had a very good relationship. Su Yi��s eyes when looking at Su Peiyun were full of doting.


    It could be seen that Su Peiyun was Su Yi��s beloved daughter.


    ��Huhu, Little Girl Su is still so razor-tongued! Heavenly South City is the capital city of the Land of Heavenly South, how can we compare? Want to compare, it��s also comparing between the Thistle South Nine Cities. Otherwise, what��s the point of this Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit?�� Sun Yunjing said with a laugh.


    ��Humph! In the end, it��s still our lack of resources that led to the decline in Alchemy Dao! You guys won unscrupulously!�� Su Peiyun argued strongly.


    Sun Yunjing laughed and said, ��You lass, alright. This city lord won��t stoop to the level of a junior like you. However, Su Yi, the next round is about to begin right away. Who are you all planning to send up to the stage?��


    This Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit was not just a dispute caused by personal feelings. It was also a fight for resources.


    Each city would obtain the resource bias of Heavenly South City based on their rankings!


    One had to know, the judge of this Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit was a grade four heavenly alchemist sent by Heavenly South City!


    It was evident that Heavenly South City attached great importance to these nine cities.


    It was just that Calm South City suffered repeated defeats with each battle, forming a vicious cycle.


    Coupled with that they were lacking talents, that was why they got bogged down deeper and deeper.


    Su Yi had a black face and said to an old man beside him, ��Elder Ge, I can only trouble you again!��


    Ge Ling sighed slightly and walked over towards the pill refining area.


    Su Yi could only hope for Ge Ling to outdo himself now and win the round.


    It was just that this hope was very bleak.


    ��Dad, let me introduce someone to you. This is a friend that Yun-er got to know outside called Ye Yuan! It��s all thanks to him that your daughter could return safe and sound!�� Su Peiyun introduced Ye Yuan with an excited look.


    Su Yi gave Ye Yuan a glance, lacking in interest.


    Ye Yuan was merely middle Greater Sublime Heaven. Su Yi reckoned that he just warded off some danger for his daughter. That was all.


    Later, he would give Ye Yuan some benefits and compensate a little, and it would be considered settled.


    Maybe this boy even had the intention of currying favor with those in power and deliberately did so.


    ��Mn, thank you very much, Little Brother!�� Su Yi said coolly.


    How could Ye Yuan not perceive Su Yi��s vigilance? However, he did not care either and just said indifferently, ��Don��t mention it.��


    Ye Yuan��s attitude made Su Yi a little unhappy.


    Furthermore, his current thoughts were more on Ge Ling. Hence, he could not be bothered to pay attention either.


    Su Peiyun saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff and could not help secretly panicking.


    It was just that the occasion did not allow it, it was inappropriate for her to explain too much as well, she could only divert the topic and talk about the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit.


    But, she saw that Ye Yuan was absorbed in it and felt slightly relieved in her heart too.


    ��Senior Ye, I��ve incurred your ridicule. Our Calm South City��s alchemy path strength is bottom-tier among the nine cities. Although Master Ge is impressive, he��s powerless to turn the tables too!�� Su Peiyun said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Ge Ling��s strength isn��t weak. It��s just that he has some minor defects when refining pills, which results in his quality being worse than others. If he fixes these minor problems, he won��t be weaker than the others!��


    At this time, this round of alchemy competition already started too.


    What kind of visual prowess did Ye Yuan have?


    When he was at the Pill Pavilion, he was an existence who guided grade four heavenly alchemists!


    Ge Ling��s pros and cons, he understood them at a glance.


    If one really wanted to talk about which of these nine cities�� heavenly alchemists was weaker or stronger, it was not definite too.


    After all, the nine cities were existences on the same level. Although there were differences in resources, it was not to the extent of being too different.


    However, pill refining was like this.


    The details determined success or failure!


    Some minor problems would cause the final difference in quality.


    Su Peiyun thought that Ye Yuan was consoling her and said with a bitter smile, ��When Master Ge is in his best condition, the One Heart Life Crossing Pill can only reach lower fifth grade, sixth grade is absolutely impossible! He��s far worse compared to Master Zuo Fang!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Zuo Fang��s strength is also just like that. If Ge Ling gets rid of those minor problems, he��d probably be even stronger than him.��


    Talking about pill refinement, Ye Yuan was also overcritical and very serious.


    His current strength was god knows how many times stronger compared to when he was battling in alchemy with Cang Yongning!


    The likes of Zuo Fang were really very ordinary in his eyes.


    ��Huhu, what high-sounding sentiments! A measly little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually looks down on grade three heavenly alchemists. Where did your courage come from?��


    Sun Yunjing was not far away from them, these words naturally landed in his ears and he immediately felt very displeased.


    If you were a grade three heavenly alchemist and postured a bit, forget it then.


    A bullshit Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was also posturing?


    Su Yi frowned slightly too, his impression of Ye Yuan worsening.


    In his view, Ye Yuan saying this was intentionally for him to hear. The purpose was naturally in order to ingratiate to him.


    It was just that, you, a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, spouted a stream of empty rhetoric in front of a group of city lords, who gave you the courage?


    These words were not kissing ass, but getting kicked by an ass!


    But beside Su Peiyun, Huang Haoyan was secretly delighted.


    Ye Yuan provoked a group of city lords, he probably would not gain anything good out of it.


    At that time, City Lord Su Yi naturally would not like him.


    ��Yun-er, bring this friend of yours for a stroll in the city.�� Su Yi gave face to his daughter and was already very tolerant of it.


    But Sun Yunjing was unrelenting and stopped him and said, ��Don��t! This little brother looks down on even grade three heavenly alchemists. He probably has some real skills! This city lord really wants to hear what brilliant opinions do you have?��


    Su Yi��s face turned black, immediately feeling upset.


    This Sun Yunjing was intentionally putting him on the spot!


    Su Peiyun saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and hurriedly said, ��Uncle Sun, sorry! This friend of mine only said this to comfort me. I��ll bring him away at once!��


    Finished saying, she hurriedly pulled the corners of Ye Yuan��s sleeves, hinting for Ye Yuan to leave.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you want to hear, I��ll tell you about it then. Zuo Fang��s approach is very orthodox. It should have been taught by an expert! If my conjecture is right, he should be from Heavenly South City, right? In contrast, Ge Ling��s approach is much wilder. When refining, he doesn��t have a proper method system. Most likely, he fumbled his way into becoming a grade three heavenly alchemist. However, Ge Ling is pretty good. His foundation is very solid and his talent is decent too. If he cultivates the proper way, it��s also not impossible to step into grade four heavenly alchemist in the future.��


    The review dumbfounded the group of city lords.


    With regards to these two people��s background, although it was not some big secret, it was absolutely not what a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum could inquire about.


    But Ye Yuan said it without the slightest error!


    But Su Peiyun was shocked and said, ��Senior Ye, you��re really too incredible! Master Zuo Fang has once studied under Heavenly South City��s Master Wu Deng��s tutelage, it��s just that very few people know about it! As for Master Ge Ling, he had once obtained some lucky chances before, and fumbled his way into becoming a heavenly alchemist!��

 Chapter 2646 - On-site Guidance

    A city lord spoke up, ��Zuo Fang and Ge Ling are both top-tier grade three heavenly alchemists of the nine cities. This information can be inquired as long as one has the intention of doing so.��


    The moment everyone heard this, they came back to their senses, and their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were even more contemptuous.


    It was just that Su Peiyun and Huang Haoyan both knew that Ye Yuan was not someone from Heavenly South at all. How could he possibly inquire about the information deliberately?


    Hence, there was only one possibility. It was that he perceived it himself.


    Disregarding other things, just this visual prowess alone was scary enough.


    ��Su Yi, you got to watch over this beloved daughter of yours carefully!�� Sun Yunjing looked at Ye Yuan and said meaningfully.


    The subtext was that this boy was very scheming and expended considerable effort in order to fish your daughter.


    How could Su Yi not discern it? His face immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.


    His impression of Ye Yuan was not very good to begin with. Now, he was even more displeased.


    If not looking on the account of his daughter��s face, he would have long had people break his legs and tossed him out.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum posturing in front of a bunch of city lords, were you aware of the occasion or not?


    Su Peiyun��s pretty face turned red, immediately blushing heavily.


    But the Huang Haoyan by the side was furious.


    He gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice, ��City Lord Sun, food can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can��t be said indiscriminately! Peiyun is my, Huang Haoyan��s woman! I��m afraid that it��s inappropriate for you to carelessly matchmake people like this, right?��


    With that said, Su Peiyun��s pretty face turned even redder, almost stuffing her head into her neckline.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised by Huang Haoyan��s bluntness. This boy had always been obsequious in front of him but did not expect that he was actually so staunch at this time.


    It could be seen that he really liked Su Peiyun.


    Sun Yunjing was taken aback and suddenly laughed loudly and said, ��Interesting, interesting! You��re Huang Nanshan��s son, right? Huhu, this city lord apologizes to you! You young people��s matters, I��m really not too clear about it.��


    His laughter was unbridled and had an even deeper meaning.


    The other city lords also started laughing out loud one after another. Su Yi almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    How could he not understand what these guys were laughing about?


    They were laughing with him: your daughter was really promiscuous!


    ��Girl, what on earth is going on here?�� Su Yi said with a black face.


    He rarely lost his temper at his daughter. But this time, he reached the limit of his patience.


    ��Dad, I �� I ���� Su Peiyun also panicked for a moment, at a loss on what to do.


    ��Nothing��s going on. It��s just that your daughter is very filial and wanted to win me over for you, that��s why she brought me here. But it seems like you don��t really welcome it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Win you over? Huhu, you, a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, what��s worth winning over? You boy, really know how to gild gold onto your own face! Think that having done a bit of homework, you really feel that you��re amazing?�� Sun Yunjing said with a snicker.


    Ye Yuan gave Sun Yunjing a glance and said profoundly, ��You��re very cocky!��


    Sun Yunjing��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, do you know who you��re talking to or not?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him, but looked at Su Peiyun and said, ��Originally, I wasn��t interested in joining Calm South City. But now, I��ve changed my mind.��


    Su Peiyun was overjoyed when she heard that and said, ��Senior Ye, is what you said true?��


    Right now, Su Peiyun suddenly felt a little grateful toward Sun Yunjing.


    If not for him provoking Ye Yuan repeatedly, Ye Yuan probably would not join Calm South City.


    At least, she could be sure that the faction behind Ye Yuan was definitely much stronger than Calm South City!


    In fact, it was not inferior to Heavenly South City!


    The moment Sun Yunjing heard, he only felt amused and said, ��Boy, you can really pretend! You mean that when you join Calm South City, we��ll all have to be more careful?��


    When the group of city lords heard that, they all laughed loudly without ceasing.


    In their view, Ye Yuan was simply a moron, how could he be worth winning over?


    They really did not know what kind of bewitching soup Su Peiyun was forced to drink, to actually acknowledge him!


    Ye Yuan gave Sun Yunjing a glance rather surprisedly and said, ��Looks like you��re not too stupid either!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan flicked his finger.


    Only to see a ray of sword light fly straight for Ge Ling.


    Bang!


    Ge Ling��s pill refinement was directly interrupted crudely.


    He was currently fully concentrated on refining the pill. Suddenly being interrupted, he also went into a rampage.


    ��Brat, are you courting death?�� Ge Ling arrived in front of Ye Yuan like the wind and roared.


    Ye Yuan��s sudden move directly stunned everyone.


    Did he join Calm South City to deal damage?


    Hahahaha, really a pig teammate!


    Thought that he would say some harsh words, in the end, he directly made a move to interrupt his own people��s pill refinement.


    Facing Ge Ling��s wrath, Ye Yuan appeared calm and collected. Waving his hand, he said, ��You don��t need to refine anymore. According to your refining method, it��s impossible to win Zuo Fang all your life! Remember I��m about to say next carefully. Just nice, make use of this auction time to repeat it in your head! Finish him off in the next round!��


    Ye Yuan ignored Ge Ling��s wrath as well and started talking on and on in a flow of eloquence.


    He had observed for a long time and was fully aware of some of the minor problems in Ge Ling��s pill refinement.


    Giving guidance at this time, it struck the vitals directly!


    In the beginning, Ge Ling was almost rampaging under his rage. Luckily, Su Peiyun kept holding him back, that was why he did not blow up.


    But very soon, the expression on Ge Ling��s face changed.


    But Sun Yunjing said disdainfully, ��A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum teaching a grade three heavenly alchemist alchemy, this is simply a joke! If randomly saying a few words can make people become stronger, then anyone can become a heavenly alchemist!��


    However, the expression on Ge Ling��s face became more and more serious.


    There were also many grade three heavenly alchemists present. Their faces actually revealed thoughtful looks too.


    At this time, even Sun Yunjing discovered that something was wrong too.


    He did not know alchemy, but it did not mean that he was a fool.


    Ge Ling��s current expression was just like a student, just short of kneeling down to Ye Yuan.


    Sun Yunjing��s brows furrowed slightly and he asked someone next to him, ��Master Jiang Li, could it be that what this brat says is really something?��


    Jiang Li��s strength was even a bit stronger than Zuo Fang.


    It was just that currently, no one could force him out yet.


    But at this time, the expression on Jiang Li��s face was noticeably showing he was surprised.


    Seeing Sun Yunjing asking, he nodded and said, ��The few points that he talked about are all Ge Ling��s shortcomings! Actually, I��ve long discovered it too. Ge Ling��s strength isn��t weak. It��s just because of his uncultivated origins, many details couldn��t be controlled, resulting in the poor quality. I didn��t expect that this boy just take a few glances and perceive it! This boy isn��t simple!��


    Sun Yunjing felt his scalp tingle when he heard and said with a frown, ��But, can just saying these few sentences make Ge Ling become strong?��


    Jiang Li shook his head and said with a smile, ��How is it possible? Knowing is one thing, doing it is another matter altogether! Moreover, Ge Ling��s pill refinement has long already formed a fixed style. It��s writing, habits are very hard to change. Even if he knows, it��s also impossible to have any improvements within a short time.��


    The moment Sun Yunjing heard, he immediately felt relieved and said with a cold smile, ��I want to see how this brat cleans up the mess!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said to Su Yi, ��Arrange for a secret room. I want to give him a small sermon.��


    Su Yi was taken aback. Then, he immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly made people go arrange it.

 Chapter 2647 - Turning Stone into Gold!

    When he walked out of the secret room, there was an additional glimmer of brilliance in Ge Ling��s eyes.


    He did not expect that pills could still be refined this way!


    To him who had an uncultivated background, Ye Yuan��s casual guidance made him feel like he suddenly saw the light.


    At this very moment, he was full of awe for Ye Yuan.


    ��Old Ge, still going up? I want to say that your strength is pretty good too. But, continue losing like this, this old face of yours will be completely lost!�� When Zuo Fang saw Ge Ling get on the stage again, he could not refrain from mocking.


    Ge Ling��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who wins and who loses is still unknown!��


    Zuo Fang did not care and said with a smile, ��Huhu, being guided by a junior, you��re really able to give up on this old face! You wouldn��t really think that in less than an hour, you��ll be able to surpass me, right?��


    Ge Ling snorted coldly and said, ��That will only be known after competing!��


    Zuo Fang laughed loudly and said, ��Looks like you really take it seriously! Being taught by a junior, if you were to still lose, you probably won��t be able to go out in Calm South City in the future anymore, right?��


    Ge Ling knew that he could not win him with words, so he could only give a cold snort and stop talking.


    This round of alchemy competition was starting again very quickly.


    The nine cities�� heavenly alchemists made a move once again!


    Everyone��s eyes were naturally focused on Ge Ling.


    The heavenly alchemists present were all not weaklings.


    It was just that, they also could not see that there were overly obvious changes to Ge Ling.


    Everything seemed to be the same as before.


    Continuing to refine step by step, it was simply impossible to win.


    ��Huhu, this is a big joke! A grade three heavenly alchemist was actually guided by a junior. The key is that there aren��t any changes still!��


    ��Looks like this time, Calm South City is really going to become the laughingstock of the nine cities. After everyone goes back, today��s matter can probably serve as a joke for a year.��


    ��What��s going on with City Lord Su Yi, to actually accompany a junior to mess around!��


    �� ��


    Many people were all discussing animatedly.


    Clearly, they were not optimistic about Ge Ling.


    When these words landed in Su Yi��s ears, it made him even more upset.


    Earlier, he was quelled by Ye Yuan in a few words, thinking that Ye Yuan was really formidable.


    Looking at it now, he was simply fooling people!


    Yet, this guy was still sitting by the side like nobody��s business.


    ��Master Jiang Li, is there anything different?�� Compared to others, Sun Yunjing still believed in Jiang Li more.


    It was also Jiang Li��s assessment that cowed Sun Yunjing.


    Jiang Li stared at Ge Ling for a long time before shaking his head and saying, ��There��s not much difference. I said it earlier, habits are the scariest. How can it be changed so easily? This battle, Ge Ling will still lose for sure!��


    The moment Sun Yunjing heard, he immediately settled his heart back in place.


    Jiang Li was his trump card, Sun Yunjing trusted his vision very much.


    Even he said that it would not work, then it definitely would not work.


    ��Su Yi, looks like this little brother can really transform the rotten into something magical! Ge Ling changed until I almost couldn��t recognize him anymore! Hahaha ���� Sun Yunjing started his great mockery art again.


    Actually, the nine cities were of the same breath and branch. They resisted the true spirit sea race jointly and at the same time were also in a competitive relationship.


    The nine great city lords also secretly competed with each other.


    This was also the situation that Heavenly South City was willing to see.


    The Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit was the best opportunity to show off to begin with. It was naturally impossible for Sun Yunjing to let it slip by.


    Su Yi had a dark look and did not play along, but gave a cold snort and said to Ye Yuan, ��Brat, do you want to explain it? Because of you, Calm South City and this old man have already incurred the ridicule of experts today!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was on Ge Ling the entire time. Without even looking at him, he just said coolly, ��You just watch, isn��t the result not out yet?��


    Su Yi was taken back, immediately gnashing his teeth in hatred.


    This boy was really cocky to the extreme!


    By the side, Su Peiyun was extremely awkward.


    She discovered that bringing Ye Yuan was simply a mistake.


    Now, she had already ridden the tiger and found it hard to dismount.


    But the combat power that Ye Yuan displayed in the sea still made her unwilling to give up.


    Huang Haoyan sensed Su Peiyun��s awkwardness. Gritting his teeth, he said to Ye Yuan, ��Senior Ye, Peiyun and I both respect you very much! I��m afraid that it��s not appropriate for you to do so, right?��


    Ye Yuan found it funny in his heart, but he just said indifferently, ��What��s not appropriate about it?��


    Huang Haoyan said, ��Peiyun only had the intention of getting on friendly terms with Senior. But you made the entire Calm South City become a laughingstock for your own face! This isn��t appropriate!��


    Clearly, Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun had already talked about it. The two people��s relationship was re-established.


    But, with Ye Yuan doing so, it made them still unable to accept it.


    Ye Yuan still said coolly, ��Whether it��s a laughingstock or laughing proudly, you just watch!��


    Amidst the mocking voices, the pill refinement of the nine great grade three heavenly alchemists gradually reached an end.


    The nine heavenly pills were presented to the judge��s bench.


    Three grade four heavenly alchemists started undergoing a comprehensive judgment of the nine heavenly pills.


    ��Skybless City��s Yuan Yi, Thunderfire Heavenly Dipper Pill, middle fifth grade!��


    ��Yong He City��s Zhao Lei, Sulfur Flame Kun Earth Pill, upper fifth grade!��


    �� ��


    Cui Tong reported the results one by one, without much surprise.


    He was a grade four heavenly alchemist from Heavenly South City, his status extremely revered.


    The strength of these grade three heavenly alchemists was actually very close.


    This round, whoever performed a little better, might clinch victory.


    As for the commotion on Sun Yunjing and Ye Yuan this side, he naturally noticed it too. But he did not pay too much attention.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was merely talking big to impress people.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he would be a grade two heavenly alchemist at the very most. How could he possibly guide a grade three heavenly alchemist?


    But, with this farce, he still harbored some curiosity about Ge Ling��s heavenly pill.


    This time, Ge Ling was the last to complete the refinement, so he was queued last.


    ��Water Billow City��s Zuo Fang, Emerald Dawn Meteorite Pill, lower sixth grade!�� Cui Tong said coolly.


    Finished speaking, he picked up Ge Ling��s heavenly pill and placed it onto the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, looking at the scale in amazement.


    Middle sixth grade!


    ��It �� It actually reached middle sixth grade! This �� how is this possible?�� Cui Tong sucked in a cold breath.


    Before this, Ge Ling had never reached sixth grade before!


    The best was also merely upper fifth grade!


    This time, he actually directly broke through a grade and reached middle sixth grade!


    The two people beside him were also surprised!


    ��This �� should be a coincidence, right?�� Another grade four heavenly alchemist said.


    Cui Tong sucked in a deep breath and said with a nod, ��It should be a coincidence! If casually giving some pointers can attain this kind of effect, that��s would also be too monstrous! Even the likes of us can��t achieve it. So how can a grade two heavenly alchemist possibly do it?��


    Following that, he said loudly, ��Calm South City��s Ge Ling, Six Ren Carefree Pill, middle sixth grade!��


    The moment these words came out of his mouth, the entire audience exploded!


    ��What? Really won?��


    ��How is this possible? Gave pointers on the spot and it promoted a grade? This is freaking cheating, right?��


    ��Just what kind of person is that boy, to actually have the ability to turn stone into gold?��


    �� ��


    The despots from all around felt that this was simply like talking about a book from heaven; too ridiculous!


    A grade two heavenly alchemist spent less than an hour��s time and gave pointers to a grade three heavenly alchemist.


    In the end, he won!


    You are freaking joking, right?

 Chapter 2648 - Acting Like a Snob

    Chapter 2648: Acting Like a Snob


    ��Six Ren Carefree Pill, regardless in terms of quality, refinement difficulty, or practicality, it wins against the Emerald Dawn Meteorite Pill! The three of us unanimously rule that in this round, Ge Ling wins!��


    Cui Tong��s voice had neither joy nor sorrow, but it struck everyone��s hearts.


    No matter whether it was Sun Yunjing, Jiang Li, or Su Yi father and daughter, they were all stupefied at this time.


    He actually really won!


    ��This is impossible!�� Jiang Li��s first reaction was that it was impossible.


    Su Yi also came back to his senses at this time and immediately burst out laughing and said, ��Hahaha �� just now, who said to shave our Calm South City bald? Do your faces hurt? Sun Yunjing, didn��t you say that my Calm South City doesn��t have anyone? Now, do you still dare to say it?��


    Actually, Su Yi was really prepared to be shaved bald already.


    But, who would have expected that there would actually be a turnaround.


    Ge Ling won!


    These few days, he was mocked by Sun Yunjing and the few great city lords immensely.


    Venting this frustration now, it really felt invigorating to the max.


    His gaze involuntarily looked towards Ye Yuan and discovered that Ye Yuan had his head lowered, looking straight down. It was as if this had nothing to do with him at all.


    If it was earlier, he would definitely feel that this guy was pretending to be mysterious.


    But now, it was completely not the case at all.


    This guy that his daughter brought back, really had the skills.


    Sun Yunjing��s expression was very ugly. He was still mocking Su Yi and Ye Yuan just now. Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, he had his face slapped?


    ��Su Yi, what are you being smug for? Your Calm South City only won one match!�� Sun Yunjing said with a cold snort.


    But Su Yi did not care at all and laughed loudly as he said, ��So what if one match? One match and you can��t shave bald anymore! At least, you can��t make it zero anymore!��


    Sun Yunjing��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re really shameless! One match got you smug until like this!��


    Su Yi did not show weakness in the slightest and snorted coldly as he said, ��I��m proud of it! I feel great slapping your face!��


    Sun Yunjing lost his temper. Su Yi winning under this kind of circumstances was indeed worthy of being proud of.


    He was different from him. He did not have hope for Heavenly South City��s resources to begin with.


    Now, at least he got lucky!


    ��That �� Young Friend Ye, just now, it was this Su who had eyes but couldn��t see! Now, this Su officially apologizes to you. I hope that Young Friend Ye doesn��t take offense!�� Su Yi bowed towards Ye Yuan as he said slightly embarrassedly.


    He kept calling brat earlier, not taking Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    Now, he was embarrassed.


    Logically speaking, he was revered as a city lord, a grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, he should not apologize to a junior.


    But Su Yi did not feel that there was anything wrong.


    He was not stupid, a grade two heavenly alchemist casually giving pointers could make a grade three heavenly alchemist��s heavenly pill directly advance a grade. This was not what anyone could do.


    At least, those three grade four heavenly alchemists above could not do it!


    Even Heavenly South City��s titans could not do it, then how strong was the faction behind this young man?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ll accept the apology, but this Ye gives City Lord Su a word of advice. It��s best if you don��t act like a snob in the future!��


    Since he entered, Su Yi had been looking at him through colored glasses. How could he not feel it?


    If not looking on the account of Su Peiyun��s face, Ye Yuan would have long fallen out.


    A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum city lord, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously yet.


    He had even killed a Jade Sovereign Heaven before. So why would he pay attention to a Limitless Sublime Heaven?


    ��Insolence!��


    ��Impudent!��


    ��To actually dare speak to City Lord His Excellency like this!��


    �� ��


    When Su Yi��s guards heard this, they immediately exploded but were stopped by Su Yi.


    He believed his daughter��s words now, she really wanted to rope an impressive character in for him, but he kept pushing him out continuously.


    It was just as Ye Yuan said. He had acted like a snob!


    ��All withdraw for me! What Young Friend Ye said is right. This Su did indeed act like a snob before!��


    Su Yi��s attitude surprised Ye Yuan a little.


    A dignified city lord could actually stomach this grievance.


    At this time, Ge Ling came down too.


    He directly came before Ye Yuan, gave a deep bow, and said, ��This Ge thanks Master Ye for your guidance!��


    Ye Yuan accepted it calmly and said coolly, ��Do you have any gains?��


    The moment Ge Ling heard, he said excitedly, ��Plenty of gains!��


    By the side, Zuo Fang said with a cold snort, ��Humph! Pretending to be mysterious! Just now, it was merely getting lucky. Getting cocky for what? The next round, I��ll definitely teach you a lesson!��


    Ye Yuan gave Zuo Fang a glance and said coolly, ��Refining pills never has any luck. There��s only the inevitability of endless training! Placing your hopes on luck, your accomplishments are bound to be limited.��


    Zuo Fang��s brows furrowed, and he said with a cold snort, ��Brat who��s still wet behind your ears, this old man isn��t Ge Ling that sort of trash. It��s not your turn to come and teach yet! Whether or not it��s luck, you��ll know in the next round!��


    He completely did not believe that a few words of guidance could make Ge Ling undergo such an upheaval change.


    Being able to refine middle sixth grade could only be attributed to luck!


    Very soon, Ge Ling��s Six Ren Carefree Pill was auctioned for a sky-high price of 400 thousand heavenly crystals!


    It was directly 100 thousand heavenly crystals higher compared to Zuo Fang��s One Heart Life Crossing Pill previously. It could be seen how high the value of the Six Ren Carefree Pill was.


    After resting, the nine cities�� heavenly alchemists went onto the stage again.


    Each city had more than one heavenly alchemist.


    Hence, there was also a particular method to marshal soldiers for battle.


    The strengths of these heavenly alchemists were mostly very close. It depended on how their condition was.


    However, to Calm South City, the other heavenly alchemists were seriously somewhat lacking in skill.


    So this round, it was still Ge Ling.


    ��Jiang Li, why don��t you take this round?�� Sun Yunjing looked toward Jiang Li and asked.


    Zuo Fang��s face turned black, feeling immensely being insulted.


    ��City Lord, this round, I absolutely won��t lose to him! Earlier, Ge Ling just got lucky; that��s all!�� Zuo Fang said in a solemn voice.


    Jiang Li fell silent for a moment and said, ��Whether or not it��s luck is still hard to say! City Lord, I want to observe again!��


    Sun Yunjing nodded and said, ��Fine. Master Zuo Fang, you must take him down this time!��


    Zuo Fang snorted coldly and said, ��Rest assured, he won��t have the chance!��


    Carrying a strong desire for revenge, Zuo Fang took the stage again.


    This time, he brought out his trump card, the Nine Cauldron Grand Void Pill!


    ��It��s the Nine Cauldron Grand Void Pill! Master Zuo Fang is releasing a big move!��


    ��The Nine Cauldron Grand Void Pill is Master Zuo Fang��s signboard! This heavenly pill already infinitely approaches the level of heavenly imperial pill. Furthermore, Master Zuo Fang��s highest record is upper sixth grade!��


    ��Master Ge Ling unleashed his ultimate move too! What he��s refining this time is the Fuxi Pure Yang Pill! The difficulties of the two heavenly pills are evenly-matched in strength. However, he��s still a little worse compared to Master Zuo Fang. It��s said that Master Ge Ling��s best record is merely middle fifth grade!��


    �� ��


    The moment the refinement started, the crowd became excited.


    This match could be said to be a pinnacle showdown already.


    In the alchemy competition previously, everyone was holding back.


    Firstly, when refining highly complex heavenly pills, stability was insufficient. Any carelessness and the quality would drop.


    Secondly, trump cards had to be saved until the end.


    Zuo Fang was forced into a corner. That was why he would bring out the Nine Cauldron Grand Void Pill.

 Chapter 2649 - Heavenly South’s Number One Genius!

    ��Ge Ling, Fuxi Pure Yang Pill, peak sixth grade! Calm South City wins!��


    When Cui Tong said this, his expression distinctly became somewhat unnatural.


    Clearly, even he himself felt that it was inconceivable.


    If one time, it could be said to be coincidental.


    But the second time, Ge Ling overpowered Zuo Fang with his overwhelming talent, taking the top spot! It was not a coincidence anymore!


    Just now, Cui Tong personally announced that Zuo Fang��s Nine Cauldron Grand Void Pill reached the level of upper sixth grade.


    This was also to say that Zuo Fang performed to his highest standard this time!


    But he still lost!


    Peak sixth grade already reached the boundary of seventh grade, which was even higher than Zuo Fang��s result.


    When Ge Ling himself heard this result, he felt rather incredulous too.


    After the first match, he became a little more familiar with Ye Yuan��s guidance.


    So the pill refinement this time, he became even more accomplished with high proficiency.


    The result did not disappoint him.


    ��Won again! Really not a coincidence!��


    ��My God, this is also too miraculous! A grade two heavenly alchemist actually has the ability to turn stone into gold, making Master Ge have such a huge leap within such a short time.��


    ��Just what kind of person is that young man? Why have I never heard of him before?��


    �� ��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan who was condescending and behaved like an idiot in their eyes became mysterious.


    No one treated him as an ordinary Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum anymore.


    Cui Tong three people��s gazes also looked over one after another.


    Su Yi laughed loudly and said, ��Sun Yunjing, you said that it was luck earlier? Ge Ling��s luck is really good! Hahaha ����


    He was extremely proud of himself right now.


    Each Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit, he would be the target of ridicule for the many city lords. Among them, Sun Yunjing was the worst.


    Now, slapping faces over and over again made him feel like a freed slave singing songs.


    That feeling of liberation really could not be described using words.


    Seeing Su Yi��s smugful face, Sun Yunjing had an impulse to hit him.


    But he was aggrieved currently!


    How did Ge Ling become so formidable all of a sudden?


    He could not figure it out after racking his brains!


    ��City Lord, please give me another chance! This time, I��ll definitely make Ge Ling that fellow knows my prowess!�� Zuo Fang came before Sun Yunjing as he gnashed his teeth and said.


    Clearly, he still did not give up.


    He came from Heavenly South City and normally looked down on Ge Ling, this kind of barbarian most of all.


    Now, he was actually surpassed by someone that he looked down upon. How could he stomach this frustration?


    But Sun Yunjing was clearly not prepared to give him a chance anymore.


    ��Zuo Fang, you��ve worked hard too, rest for a bit. Leave the rest to Jiang Li,�� Sun Yunjin said lightly.


    ��City Lord!�� Zuo Fang said with unwillingness.


    At this time, Jiang Li opened his mouth and said, ��Zuo Fang, haven��t you discovered it yet? Ge Ling��s improvement this time is even greater than before! Although I don��t know how that boy did it, he indeed has the ability to transform the rotten into something magical! If my conjecture is right, Ge Ling��s pill refinement is very likely to break through to seventh grade the next time! At that time, you��ll lose even more miserably!��


    Zuo Fang��s entire body trembled, and he fell silent.


    Jiang Li patted his shoulder and said coolly, ��Go rest. Leave the rest to me.��


    Zuo Fang carried strong unwillingness and went to rest.


    In the auction, Ge Ling��s Fuxi Pure Yang Pill was sold for a sky-high price of 600 thousand heavenly crystals, the highest of all present.


    At this time, Jiang Li who was beside Sun Yunjing slowly stood up.


    The moment he moved, it immediately caused a commotion.


    ��It��s Master Jiang Li! He��s finally taking the stage!��


    ��Master Jiang Li is known as Heavenly South City��s number one alchemy genius! Heard that even many grade four heavenly alchemists are not as impressive as him!��


    ��I didn��t expect that he was actually invited by Water Billow City. City Lord Sun definitely paid a huge price.��


    �� ��


    Seeing Jiang Li get up, Su Yi��s expression became ugly too.


    Even Ge Ling also became fidgety.


    Ye Yuan everyone��s nervousness and could not help being a little surprised.


    ��He��s very strong?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Ge Ling nodded his head heavily and said, ��Very strong! I stand no chance in front of him at all! Jiang Li is known as the Heavenly South��s number one genius. Although he��s still only a grade three heavenly alchemist now, in terms of strength, he��s already stronger than many grade four heavenly alchemists! I thought that he was just invited by City Lord Sun to hold the line. I didn��t expect that he actually personally took the stage! To put it bluntly, even if he sits on the judge bench, there also won��t be anyone complaining!��


    Jiang Li��s fame was extremely high. When he joined Water Billow City, it had once caused a great sensation.


    No one would have thought that Heavenly South City��s number one genius actually joined the border Water Billow City.


    Although each and every one of the grade three heavenly alchemists present all had high regards for themselves, they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Jiang Li.


    Ye Yuan just nodded slightly, thinking to himself that no wonder even Zuo Fang, this kind of arrogant person, went to rest obediently.


    However, he did not really take it to heart either. No matter how strong Jiang Li, this number one genius, was, it was also impossible to be stronger than Cang Yongning.


    Furthermore, even if he was really stronger than Cang Yongning, Ye Yuan did not mind either.


    Calm South City��s win or loss had nothing to do with him.


    Just now was just Sun Yunjing continuously squeezing him, that was why he took action.


    Now that the other party had shut up, Ye Yuan was naturally not interested in taking action anymore too.


    Who would have expected that Jiang Li turned around and actually came in front of Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Little Brother, are you interested in taking the stage to play?��


    Buzz!


    The whole audience was in a stir!


    ��Master Jiang Li actually challenged a grade two heavenly alchemist!��


    ��Isn��t this bullying people?��


    ��When Master Jiang Li refines grade two heavenly pills, it��s definitely all upper ninth grade. How to compete?��


    �� ��


    Although Ye Yuan was very mysterious, he was still utterly not worth mentioning in the face of Jiang Li��s prestige.


    Jiang Li��s might was deeply entrenched in the hearts of people.


    Ye Yuan could casually give pointers, but Jiang Li was an existence who could win grade four heavenly alchemists!


    ��Not interested!�� Ye Yuan directly refused.


    ��Huhu, looks like Little Brother only knows how to engage in empty talk. It was this Jiang who thought too highly of you,�� Jiang Li was indifferent and said with a faint smile.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, ��You don��t need to goad me, I��m not accepting the challenge because you��re not worthy of making me take action.��


    Murmur!


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    This guy was simply too arrogant!


    He probably did not know who Jiang Li was, right?


    Jiang Li was considered level-headed too. But, hearing these words, his expression turned dark.


    ��Huhu, brat, you��re also regarding yourself too highly, right? Even if a grade four heavenly alchemist is in front of me, they also wouldn��t dare say so!�� Jiang Li said in a solemn voice.


    ��Grade four heavenly alchemist? Huhu, if you want me to take action, can as well. But you have to be mentally prepared. If I make a move, your Water Billow City won��t have a chance anymore,�� Ye Yuan said with a meaningful smile.


    The words were full of disdain.


    In Ye Yuan��s view, grade four heavenly alchemists were indeed nothing.


    In the Pill Pavilion, when grade four heavenly alchemists saw him, they had to respectfully call him as Master Ye.


    Jiang Li��s eyes turned cold and he said, ��Is that so? I��m already mentally prepared. This Jiang wants to see how Water Billow City won��t have a chance!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he shook his head. Slowly standing up, he said coolly, ��If you want to see, I��ll let you take a look then.��

 Chapter 2650 - Exploded!

    Ye Yuan taking the field immediately aroused great expectations.


    Casually giving a few words of guidance and it greatly improved a grade three heavenly alchemist��s strength.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    Then how was his own strength?


    ��Three elders, for fairness sake, I suggest this round to collectively refine grade two heavenly pills,�� Jiang Li gave a bow to Cui Tong three people as he said.


    Cui Tong three people exchanged a glance and said with a nod, ��As it ought to be.��


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan spoke up, saying, ��No need!��


    Cui Tong��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Grade two heavenly pill and grade three heavenly pill can��t be mentioned in the same breath at all. Even if you can refine a heavenly imperial pill, it��s also much inferior compared to the medicinal pills that they refine. How will you compete with them like this?��


    Although the medicinal effects of grade two heavenly imperial pills rivaled grade three heavenly pills, it was not comparable to all grade three heavenly pills.


    If not, grade three heavenly pills also would not be called grade three heavenly pills.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ll refine my grade two heavenly pill; they��ll refine their grade three heavenly pill. If you all feel that my heavenly pill isn��t as good as theirs, just judge it as a loss.��


    ��Huhu, what an arrogant kid!��


    ��What do you think you��re refining? To actually dare look down on us so much!��


    ��A mere grade two heavenly alchemist is unbelievably arrogant! I want to see how much capability you have!��


    �� ��


    The moment the other few cities�� heavenly alchemists heard, they immediately exploded.


    Ye Yuan was clearly not taking them seriously!


    Cui Tong��s brows furrowed even tighter. He was seriously unable to imagine what basis Ye Yuan had to be so conceited.


    Could it be that the grade two heavenly pills he would refine are different from the rest?


    ��Forget it. Since you insist, do as you say then! I wonder, what kind of grade two heavenly pill do you want to refine?�� Cui Tong said.


    ��Grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!�� Ye Yuan still had a calm and collected appearance as he said.


    Once again, everyone exploded.


    ��What the hell? Grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill competing with grade three heavenly pills whose difficulty approaching heavenly imperial pill? Is this kid��s head spoiled?��


    ��Ha! Haha! One really can see anything after living a long time! It��s still Your Father��s first time seeing such a mind-boggling grade two heavenly alchemist!��


    ��Not just that, right? If my guess is correct, Master Jiang Li is probably going to refine a grade three heavenly imperial pill! Even if Master Jiang Li only refines third or fourth grade, it��s also not what the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can compare to, right?��


    �� ��


    The faces of the other eight people, including Jiang Li, all became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Did this boy come to mess with them?


    Even Cui Tong had a stunned look too.


    ��Grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, what kind of joke are you making, Young Friend Ye? Could it be that you��re making fun of the few of us?�� Cui Tong said with slight anger.


    ��Whether or not it��s making fun of the few of you, it will naturally be clear to you after the refinement is completed. Isn��t it jumping too fast to a conclusion by talking about these now?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Cui Tong��s brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Okay, then this old man will wait and see! But I��ll say the unpleasant things first. If you��re really making fun of the few of us old fellows, we won��t let you off when the time comes!��


    ��Up to you!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Amidst the questioning voices, this round of alchemy competition began.


    Su Yi, Ge Ling, and the rest were long already thunderstruck until they were tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.


    They even thought that Ye Yuan had some trump card.


    Who would have expected that he actually brought out a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?


    Could this thing win?


    They racked their brains and could not figure it out either.


    But, once the alchemy competition started, everyone��s gazes were drawn over by Ye Yuan.


    Cui Tong three people��s gazes even turned intent, revealing solemn expressions.


    ��What impressive techniques, this old man actually can��t see through it!�� Cui Tong said in surprise.


    Another judge said with surprise, ��It turns out that grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can still be refined like this? This old man really broadened my horizons!��


    Ye Yuan��s refining technique was extremely complicated and elaborate.


    But every move and action carried the lingering charm of ��Dao��, making people recollect the aftertaste endlessly.


    Even if the heavenly alchemists present were fools, they would know that Ye Yuan��s strength was extraordinary too.


    But very soon, something that surprised them even more happened.


    A surge of Great Dao accumulation descended from the sky!


    Boom!


    The powerful pressure made everyone��s faces change.


    The refinements of Jiang Li and the rest immediately suffered disruption.


    Under this surge of Great Dao accumulation, bystanders were not able to contend with it at all.


    Boom!


    A burnt smell spread out, a heavenly alchemist��s heavenly pill was ruined.


    Boom!


    Without holding out for long, another person��s pill was ruined too.


    For safety��s sake, Jiang Li did not refine a heavenly imperial pill.


    Against a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, just using an ordinary heavenly pill would suffice.


    He had the intention of showing off his strength too, to let Ye Yuan take a good look at what was called an alchemy path genius.


    But now, under the Great Dao accumulation, even his soul force was somewhat flickering, he could not concentrate at all.


    In a short while, he already made several mistakes, severely affecting the quality of the heavenly pill.


    The pressure of the Great Dao accumulation became stronger and stronger.


    Boom!


    Finally, it landed in Ye Yuan��s medicinal cauldron.


    Pill formed!


    Very soon, Jiang Li finished refining too.


    His mood was irritated to the extreme.


    He knew that the quality of the heavenly pill was definitely bad.


    ��Brat, you cheated!�� Jiang Li pointed at Ye Yuan and said angrily.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, ��The judge hasn��t even said anything. Is it up to you to tell them what to do? If this is considered cheating, then you cheat for me to take a look.��


    ��Alright, Jiang Li. Ye Yuan didn��t cheat! However, this old man is very curious now, is what you refined really the grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?�� Cui Tong said.


    Jiang Li gnashed his teeth in hatred, his face full of indignation.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Whether it is or not, wouldn��t you all know if you take a look.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan urged with his palm, a crystal clear heavenly pill flew in front of Cui Tong.


    An aura of Great Dao instantly spread out.


    ��Is �� Is this really a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?��


    ��I��ve never heard before that a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill can be transparent!��


    ��What a magical refining technique! It��s unheard of!��


    �� ��


    Everyone looked at that heavenly pill, all with looks of wonder on their faces.


    Cui Tong studied it in detail for a long time, his two eyes almost burrowing into the heavenly pill.


    ��Have you seen enough, let me look!�� Another judge could not resist urging.


    With their eyesight, they could naturally perceive this pill��s extraordinary nature and naturally wanted to study it.


    True grade had never appeared before in the Land of Heavenly South!


    Now that it emerged, it would surely shock the world!


    The three people looked it over and over, all not understanding.


    Finally, Cui Tong could not resist and placed it on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone.


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly and did not stop it.


    Only to see the scale on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone soar to full scale almost instantly.


    Then it exploded with a loud bang.


    Everyone present turned pale with shock!


    The Cloud Mount Mother Stone actually exploded!


    Cui Tong stood up suddenly. Looking at Ye Yuan with an astonished expression, he asked, ��Young Friend Ye, just what grade is this pill? This old man has never seen before a heavenly pill that could blow up the Cloud Mount Mother Stone!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��This pill is a true grade heavenly pill! Above ninth grade is true grade! I wonder if this true grade heavenly pill can match their grade three heavenly pills or not?��

 Chapter 2651 - : Sky-high Price!

    ��True grade!��


    ��Above ninth grade!��


    The shock of Cui Tong three people was not only expressed in words but also on their faces!


    At this time, how could they still care about whatever win or lose?


    True grade heavenly pill, they had never heard of it before!


    This heavenly pill opened another window for them!


    Not that the Land of Heavenly South��s heavenly medicine technique was not refined, but that the realm of true grade was seriously too hard to achieve.


    In the entire Pill Alliance, there were probably barely a handful of people who could refine true grade heavenly pills too.


    Heavenly South was merely a tiny place, how could they have seen before this grade of heavenly pill?


    Ye Yuan��s words caused a whirlwind in the arena, everyone burst into an uproar.


    No one had seen before a true grade heavenly pill, no one knew what Ye Yuan said was true or fake at all.


    But everything in front of them left them no choice but to believe that this was real!


    ��Young Friend Ye, can this true grade heavenly pill be sold to this old man or not?�� Cui Tong calmed himself down and asked.


    As a grade four heavenly alchemist, he could no longer be described as burning with eagerness anymore.


    He could not wait to bring this heavenly pill back and study it carefully.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said indifferently, ��This is the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit, better do it in accordance with the rules, the highest bidder wins! What this grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill of mine represents is Calm South City.��


    Su Yi��s face turned from shock to ecstasy.


    There was really a silver lining in every cloud!


    This true grade heavenly pill was worth a thousand grade three heavenly pills!


    What did a mere Water Billow City count as?


    Cui Tong nodded slightly and said, ��Alright, let��s start the auction now then!��


    He was already too impatient to wait!


    That auctioneer had a bitter smile on his face and asked, ��Master Cui Tong, what��s the base price of this heavenly pill?��


    He had never seen before a true grade heavenly pill, there was no precedent!


    ��No need for a base price, there��s no restriction on price increment as well, directly get to the bidding. Whoever wins with a bid of one heavenly crystal, just take it as they got lucky,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Everyone��s faces turned black, all looking at Ye Yuan with contemptuous faces.


    One piece of heavenly crystal, to think that you could say it out loud!


    Everyone knew that no base price, no restriction on price increment, this sort of situation was the most terrifying.


    The final auction price had no bottom line at all!


    God knows how much the final transaction price would be.


    Under the urging of Cui Tong three people, the auction started very soon.


    The auctioneer said loudly, ��Now, auctioning a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, this pill is a true grade that has never appeared in the Land of Heavenly South before! No base price; no restrictions on price increase. Now, the bidding begins!��


    ��One million!��


    Almost as soon as it was announced, Cui Tong made a bid.


    The number of one million made everyone present suck in a cold breath.


    One had to know, Ge Ling��s Fuxi Pure Yang Pill previously was only auctioned for a price of 600 thousand heavenly crystals.


    Now, Cui Tong directly raised it to a million.


    His gaze swept over everyone��s faces and he said coolly, ��This pill, this old man is determined to get it!��


    Originally, with a true grade pill coming into being, which of the tycoons present did not want to claim it for themselves?


    But Cui Tong��s words already faintly implied a warning.


    Everyone could not refrain from criticizing inwardly but was also helpless about it.


    Cui Tong was not what anyone could afford to provoke.


    Seeing no one speak up, Cui Tong was very satisfied.


    ��Two million!�� However, right at this time, someone spoke up.


    The source of the voice was precisely from another grade four heavenly alchemist beside Cui Tong.


    Cui Tong��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Wu Dao, what��s the meaning of this?��


    Wu Dao said coolly, ��Old Cui, if it were other things, then forget it. But, the significance of this true grade heavenly pill, you and I both understand! Such a good thing, how can this old man not be moved?��


    Cui Tong��s face turned black and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Five million!��


    ��Eight million!�� Cui Tong just spoke up when another judge also joined in the melee.


    ��Ji Chun! Good, very good, is this old man scared of you? Ten million!��


    As if it was free, Cui Tong directly offered a sky-high price of ten million!


    This kind of bidding directly made many tycoons shrink back at the sight of it.


    They were rich, but compared to these veteran grade four heavenly alchemists, they were weak to the max.


    The wealth that a grade four heavenly alchemist possessed might rival a large family clan!


    ��20 million!��


    Right at this time, another voice sounded out.


    Everyone was taken aback, but looking in Jiang Li��s direction.


    No one expected that he would open his mouth too.


    Furthermore, he increased it by ten million heavenly crystals in one go!


    In the face of Cui Tong��s murderous gaze, Jiang Li said coolly, ��I really want to know just how I��m worse than him! Three elders, I��ll be offending! This pill, this Jiang is also determined to get it!��


    Cui Tong snorted coldly and said, ��Very good! Each relies on one��s abilities then! 30 million!��


    ��33 million!��


    ��35 million!��


    �� ��


    ��68 million!��


    When Jiang Li yelled out this price, the three judges finally hesitated.


    Clearly, this price already approached the limit that they could bear.


    It was just that no one expected that Jiang Li��s financial power was actually so great!


    A grade three heavenly alchemist could actually be on par with a grade four heavenly alchemist!


    This true grade heavenly pill held great significance to them.


    Even if they bankrupted themselves, they had to obtain it too.


    If money was gone, it could be earned again. But if this heavenly pill was missed, it would be very difficult to encounter again.


    Sure, they could find Ye Yuan and have him refine again.


    But it was very hard!


    Such a valuable heavenly pill, Ye Yuan definitely would not refine it frequently.


    The four people��s bidding made the expressions of each and every one of the tycoons present turn pale.


    Such a crazy scene, it was still their first time seeing it.


    A price of 68 million, what kind of concept was that?


    One year of Thistle South Nine Cities�� tax revenue added up could not reach this figure too!


    ��Too freaking exciting! It��s still Your Father��s first time seeing that a grade two heavenly pill can actually sell for a sky-high price of 70 million heavenly crystals!��


    ��What the hell do you know! As long as the three masters can work out the refining method of the true grade heavenly pill, what does 70 million count for?��


    ��This is simply snatching money! Crazy! Really insane! I even feel like I can��t breathe anymore!��


    �� ��


    Although it was not them bidding, each of them had blood-red eyes.


    This scene was really too exciting.


    The auctioneer asked, ��68 million, is there any higher, three masters?��


    Seeing that the three did not respond, the auctioneer continued, ��68 million going once!��


    ��68 million going twice!��


    ��68 million going thrice! This true grade heavenly pill belongs to Master Jiang Li!��


    Murmur!


    The audience was in an uproar!


    No one expected that Jiang Li actually really suppressed the three heavyweights in the end.


    The title of Heavenly South��s number one genius was not for show.


    The wealth that he had accumulated these few years was very terrifying.


    Getting this true grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, Jiang Li��s gaze could no longer look away.


    ��Tsk tsk, too perfect! How can a heavenly pill be so perfect? I can feel the surging Great Dao accumulations inside! I can definitely draw down Great Dao accumulations and reach the realm of true grade!��


    Jiang Li was intoxicated, completely forgetting about his previous grudge with Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, Cui Tong three people looked at Jiang Li with unfriendly expressions.


    The envious looks in their eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

 Chapter 2652 - Vying!

    Once true grade emerged, the subsequent competitions were already completely meaningless.


    Even if they refined until the sky collapsed, it would also be impossible to reach the realm of true grade. It would just be beating a dead horse.


    Therefore, Cui Tong simply announced that the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit this time, Calm South City took the top spot!


    Seeing Sun Yunjing��s aggrieved face, Su Yi was simply grinning from ear to ear.


    Putting aside feeling exaltation upon fulfillment, their Calm South City would even obtain a huge amount of resources. This was a tangible benefit.


    Not only that, Ge Ling��s strength rose after receiving pointers from Ye Yuan.


    Surpassing Zuo Fang was already a foregone conclusion!


    It could be said that Calm South City became the biggest winner of the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit this time!


    ��Haha, Master Ye, I, Su, really had my nose up in the air! This Su apologizes to you once more here!��


    Su Yi gave a bow towards Ye Yuan with incomparable sincerity this time.


    He was really convinced!


    His daughter really did a great thing this time.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said coolly, ��Since this matter is over with, forget it.��


    Su Yi saw that Ye Yuan was free from pride and prejudices and immediately climbed up the rope hand over hand and said, ��Master Ye, this Su sincerely invites you to join our Calm South City. I wonder what Master Ye thinks?��


    Before waiting for Ye Yuan to reply, Sun Yunjin suddenly gave a bow to Ye Yuan and said, ��Master Ye, previously, it was all this Sun who had eyes but couldn��t see! Now, this Sun wants to invite you to join Water Billow City! You rest assured. The terms that our Water Billow City offers will definitely be better than Calm South City!��


    ��Sun Yunjing, you!�� Su Yi said in a great rage.


    He did not expect that Sun Yunjing would actually kill-steal!


    Furthermore, comparing resources, Calm South City really could not compare to Water Billow City.


    Otherwise, they also would not have failed to hire a top master like Zuo Fang.


    Sun Yunjing said indifferently, ��Su Yi, Master Ye and you have only met for the first time as well. Furthermore, he and Little Girl Su also merely just became acquainted. Since that��s the case, why can��t this city lord invite him? Who in the nine cities doesn��t know that this City Lord has always craved talents like a thirsty person for water!��


    Su Yi was angered until he clenched his jaws tightly, he knew that what Sun Yunjing said was the truth.


    Previously, everyone all misunderstood that Ye Yuan intentionally got close to Su Yi in order to court Su Peiyun.


    Now, everyone knew that it was not the case anymore.


    Master Ye had no interest in Su Peiyun at all.


    Furthermore, Su Peiyun and Master Ye merely met along the way. They were also not some life-and-death friends.


    Then everyone had a chance, no?


    ��Master Ye, our Skybless City invites you to join with the utmost sincerity!��


    ��Master Ye ����


    With Sun Yunjing taking the lead, the other few cities�� city lords joined in one after another.


    Each of the terms offered was better than the last.


    Su Yi wished to tear this bunch of fellows to shreds by the side.


    He hurriedly winked at his daughter, Su Peiyun was panicking long ago.


    But what could she say?


    Could she say that their encounter previously was not a happy one?


    Originally she thought that Ye Yuan was just powerful in Martial Dao. She did not expect that his Alchemy Dao was even more terrifying than Martial Dao!


    True grade coming into being, it was bound to cause a great sensation in the Land of Heavenly South.


    At this time, she felt that saying anything was feeble.


    Su Peiyun looked at Su Yi with a bitter smile on her face.


    Right at this time, Cui Tong��s cold snort sounded out. He said, ��Humph! Are the few of you trying to snatch people from Heavenly South City?��


    He came in front of Ye Yuan, beaming widely as he said, ��Master Ye, Heavenly South City is the capital city of the Land of Heavenly South, ruling all of the cities! The resources of Heavenly South City are also not comparable to other cities. As long as Master Ye joins Heavenly South City, you can have anything you want!��


    These words made everyone��s faces change abruptly.


    Even Master Cui Tong actually already started to call him as Master Ye!


    Heavenly South City snatching people, what business did the others still have?


    At this time, everyone��s eyes were focused on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had a calm expression on his face, unable to tell what he was thinking.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, spiritual energy surged in the arena.


    The heaven and earth spiritual energy from all directions gathered over here crazily.


    ��Hahaha �� I understand! I finally understand! Incredible! Truly impressive! It��s well-deserving of being true grade, a mere grade two heavenly pill actually let me break through!�� Within the venue, Jiang Li��s loud laughter sounded out.


    It turned out that Jiang Li actually broke through!


    After obtaining the true grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, Jiang Li��s mind was fully absorbed in it.


    He did not know the slightest about outside matters.


    After observing for a long time, Jiang Li could not understand the profound aspect of the true grade heavenly pill too.


    Hence, he simply swallowed it in one gulp.


    The best way to feel a medicinal pill was to take it.


    In his view, no matter how powerful this true grade heavenly pill was, it was also a merely grade two heavenly pill. There would not be any effect.


    He had to comprehend it carefully and grasp the mystery of the true grade heavenly pill.


    As a result, once the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill entered his abdomen, a wild power of rule surged within his body.


    The small world in his body seemed to have been inspired by something.


    At that moment, the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven that he failed to break through for a long time, actually broke through!


    Sublime Realm to Sovereign Realm was a huge threshold.


    Recalling back then, Luo Yunqing��s sword intent was astonishing, and he was likewise at a standstill in front of this gate for a long time.


    If not for him forcing himself into a desperate situation so that he could risk it all, he probably would not have broken through so easily either.


    It could be seen how difficult it was for Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum to break through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!


    Even though Jiang Li was extremely talented, he had stagnated in front of this step for a long time too.


    It was precisely because he failed to break through for a long time, that he chose to join Water Billow City, and change the environment to comprehend the world.


    It was just that the effect was not good.


    He never dreamed that a measly little grade two heavenly pill actually let him break through!


    Everyone was shocked to the core.


    A grade two heavenly pill let a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum break through?


    At this moment, Cui Tong, Wu Dao, Ji Chun, Su Yi, Sun Yunjing, their gazes stopped on Ye Yuan��s face.


    They looked at this young face and felt that it was mysterious to the extreme.


    ��This �� True grade heavenly pill is actually so fearsome! A tiny little grade two heavenly pill actually helped a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum break through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!�� The shock in Cui Tong��s heart was written all over his face.


    Everything that happened today simply subverted his understanding.


    ��Is this true grade? Above ninth grade, truly incredible!�� Wu Dao also exclaimed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Actually, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill that you all look down on most is the strongest heavenly pill! It��s not that a true grade heavenly pill is very strong. Jiang Li��s cultivation realm has originally reached the peak of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, being only a hair��s breadth away from Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum. Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is about cleansing the marrow and rebuilding the foundation. It can let a mortal body be reborn anew and enter Heavenly Stratum. And true grade heavenly pills integrate Great Dao accumulations; not only did it strengthen the medicinal effect, it can even spur comprehension ability! Jiang Li breaking through under this kind of circumstances isn��t coincidental.��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s explanation, Cui Tong and the rest felt like it was another language.


    The most basic Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was actually the strongest heavenly pill!


    To them, the strongest meant pursuing more difficult heavenly pills and higher quality heavenly pills.


    No one would waste their energy on the measly little Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    But at this time, they discovered that they were really wrong.


    Ye Yuan��s statement had subverted their understanding!

 Chapter 2653 - Sea War!

    Breaking through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum, every pore on Jiang Li��s body felt relaxed.


    That feeling of invigoration was truly indescribable.


    He walked towards Ye Yuan slowly and gave a bow respectfully as he said, ��Many thanks, Master Ye! Competing with Master Ye previously was Jiang Li overestimating my own ability, Jiang Li knows my mistake!��


    This scene made everyone present incredibly shocked.


    They all knew how proud Heavenly South��s number one genius was.


    Now, Jiang Li actually put aside his pride and showed Ye Yuan the etiquette of a disciple!


    Spent a sky-high price of 68 million to buy a grade two heavenly pill, and even gave a disciple��s bow to the other person.


    This was simply unimaginable to a peerless genius.


    But Jiang Li did it!


    Cui Tong three people exchanged a glance, all seeing the shock in each other��s eyes.


    Jiang Li was the same as them, coming from Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    Jiang Li��s pride, they were very clear about it in their hearts.


    To be able to make the proud Jiang Li do so, it was absolutely not because he broke through, but that after he consumed the true grade heavenly pill, he became deeply aware of the gap between him and Ye Yuan!


    This kind of disparity was sufficient to make him give a disciple��s bow!


    Of the people present, only Jiang Li took the true grade heavenly pill. Only he understood the prowess of the true grade heavenly pill best as well.


    The others could only indirectly understand it from the breakthrough image.


    Very clearly, the true grade heavenly pill was even more remarkable than they imagined!


    ��Mn.�� Ye Yuan just grunted indifferently, considered to have answered.


    Jiang Li gave another bow and said, ��Jiang Li is willing to serve by Master Ye��s side. Master Ye, please kindly allow it.��


    Ye Yuan fell silent.


    Clearly, he was hesitating.


    Everyone��s gazes were glued on Ye Yuan.


    Only after a long time did he nod his head and say, ��Can!��


    Ye Yuan was bearing the enmity of the sect��s destruction. He must return to the Five Great Heavenly Regions.


    He must destroy the Pill Alliance!


    But he could not destroy the Pill Alliance alone.


    The Pill Alliance��s strength was too powerful!


    Putting aside that terrifying Alliance Chief, Huangfu Cloudthink could likely break through to Saint Sovereign Realm before long too.


    Also, that Xiao Feibai, his strength was also sect master level.


    Even Cang Yongning could refine true grade heavenly pills. Ye Yuan did not feel that the Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief could not refine true grade heavenly pills.


    Now that the Pill Alliance had unified the Five Great Heavenly Regions, their strength would advance by leaps and bounds even more.


    Ye Yuan needed powerful strength as well as a powerful faction.


    Since that was the case, why not set up a force that belonged to him in this Land of Heavenly South?


    The Pill Pavilion was gone. He should rebuild the Pill Pavilion in Heavenly South then!


    Jiang Li was overjoyed when he heard that and came behind Ye Yuan, standing to one side respectfully.


    This scene dumbfounded everyone with astonishment.


    Breaking through to Jade Sovereign Heaven, Jiang Li was equivalent to becoming a grade four heavenly alchemist.


    But he actually put aside his pride to follow Ye Yuan!


    At this time, Ge Ling suddenly said, ��Master Ye, this disciple also wants to follow by your side!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Allowed!��


    Ge Ling was overjoyed and also came behind Ye Yuan, standing obediently.


    Cui Tong three people exchanged glances, all shocked beyond words.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan slowly stood up, cupped his fists to everyone, and said, ��Apologies, everyone. Miss Su and Huang Haoyan gave me a lift on the sea. It��s also considered to have rendered me considerable help. This Ye had better stay in Calm South City.��


    Hearing this, regardless of whether it was Cui Tong or Sun Yunjing, they all had disappointed expressions on their faces.


    But Su Yi was wild with ecstasy.


    He even despaired just now. He did not expect that there was a glimpse of hope in the dark, Ye Yuan actually stayed.


    Such a master staying in Calm South City, the benefits were unimaginable.


    Even if Calm South City propped him up, there was no problem at all too.


    Su Yi already expected that after tomorrow, Calm South City would definitely become the center of the entire Land of Heavenly South.


    Countless powerhouses would gather here.


    This situation was absolutely greatly beneficial to him, this city lord.


    Boom!


    Crack! Crack!


    Before Su Yi had time to be happy, he was taken aback by a thunderbolt in clear weather.


    ��This bright blue sky, how can there be such a thunder-clapping noise? Quick, go out and take a look,�� Su Yi said with a frown.


    His subordinate received the order and hurriedly went out to inquire.


    Momentarily, the subordinate returned and reported, ��City Lord Your Excellency, the wind and clouds suddenly changed outside. There are dark clouds gathering overhead, lightning flashing, and thunder rumbling with rain falling in torrents!��


    Cui Tong also frowned and said, ��Why did the weather suddenly change? Could it be that something happened? Come! Let��s go out and take a look!��


    Everyone went out and their expressions immediately changed drastically.


    In broad daylight, the weather turned completely dark.


    Dark clouds covered the sky.


    The torrential rain became a continuous line, pouring into the city frantically.


    When Su Yi saw the situation, his expression changed wildly and he said, ��At this rate of pouring, the seawater will inevitably rise! Once the true spirit sea race invades, the consequences will be too ghastly to imagine! Quickly pass the order, gather the subjects of the surrounding counties and have them retreat to Calm South City!��


    Cui Tong��s expression was solemn as he said, ��This situation, could it be ����


    Wu Dao who was by the side nodded and said, ��It should be. It��s the Thistle South Royal Clan��s Creation Heavenly Rain Secret Technique! But this scale of secret technique, the Thistle South Royal Clan probably mobilized no less than ten grade four high priests! Unleashing this level of secret technique will wear the high priests down immensely. They probably won��t be able to move within 30 years! What manner of lunacy is the Thistle South Royal Clan going through?��


    Su Yu��s expression changed wildly when he heard that and said, ��It��s actually the Creation Heavenly Rain Secret Technique! Is the Thistle South Royal Clan launching a sea war? This �� How is this possible?��


    A sea war was an all-out war!


    This scale would virtually affect the entire Land of Heavenly South. No one would be spared.


    In this kind of war, there would be countless casualties, regardless of whether it was Heavenly South��s various races or the sea race.


    But the most deadly casualties would naturally still be Heavenly South��s various races.


    For so many years, although the Land of Heavenly South had had a lot of friction with the Thistle South Sea Region, they mostly neither hurt nor itched.


    This degree of sea war had happened before too, but those were all special circumstances.


    However, this time, the Thistle South Royal Clan suddenly launched a sea war without the slightest warning in advance.


    Creation Heavenly Rain Secret Technique was the sea race��s high priests summoning heavenly rain through the rule of water!


    Through large-scale rainfall, forcibly creating a sea and attacking the city from there!


    When Su Yi and the rest saw this scene, how could they not be shocked?


    Cui Tong had a solemn expression as he said, ��This matter is by no means insignificant! We must inform Heavenly South City right away and let City Lord His Excellency send an army over! But it��s probably too late already! This sea war this time is too sudden!��


    Su Yi was anxious until he stomped his foot. Gnashing his teeth, he said, ��Why? Why is it like this? Our Land of Heavenly South has long already established a treaty with the Thistle South Royal Clan, to absolutely not launch a sea war within a thousand years! Why are they going against the agreement?��


    The Thistle South Royal Clan taking action was no longer what a puny little Calm South City could resist.


    They could eradicate Calm South City by casually sending a group of Jade Sovereign Heavens over.


    But in the crowd, Ye Yuan��s eyes flickered.


    This sudden change made him think of Su Peiyun and the others being hunted down at sea.


    According to what Su Peiyun they all said, the merfolk clan should not have pursued frenziedly to that extent.


    Yet, they did it.


    This bunch of people robbed their treasure vault. Very clearly, there was something that they attached great importance to inside.


    Now, even the Thistle South Royal Clan was alarmed.


    Then it was very likely that even the royal clan attached great importance to the lost item too!


    Could it be that conch?

 Chapter 2654 - I’ll Accompany You!

    ��Huang Haoyan, take that conch out and let everyone see it,�� Ye Yuan said.


    He did not recognize it, but it did not mean that these Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses did not know it either.


    After all, they had been dealing with the sea race for many years. It was also not strange to recognize the royal clan��s treasures.


    Huang Haoyan complied with his words and took the conch out.


    ��Elder Cui, I wonder if you all recognize this object?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    When Cui Tong saw the conch, his expression changed wildly and he said, ��This �� Could this be the legendary Emerald Sea Divine Conch?��


    ��Emerald Sea Divine Conch?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Cui Tong��s expression became unprecedentedly solemn, and he said, ��The Emerald Sea Divine Conch is the ultimate clan treasure of the Thistle South Sea Region Royal Clan. Its power is boundless! I heard that it��s a low-grade grandmist treasure!��


    ��Grandmist treasure?�� Ye Yuan had a puzzled look. He had not heard of grandmist treasure before.


    When the Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief took out the grandmist treasure, he had already been sent into the void.


    But Cui Tong had a solemn look as he said, ��Above heavenly spirit treasure is grandmist treasure! Grandmist treasure. That��s the weapon of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. Its power is unimaginable. There��s no mistake. The appearance of this sea conch is exactly the same as what this old man heard about! It��s just that this old man can��t feel its power, but I don��t know why.��


    Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun��s faces turned deathly pale. Only then did they know that they had gotten into big trouble.


    No wonder back then the merfolk tribe would actually pursue so relentlessly.


    Presumably, the merfolk tribe knew the importance of it. That was why they reported it to the Thistle South Royal Clan, resulting in the sea war this time.


    The moment Su Yi heard, he said in a great rage, ��Huang Haoyan, look what you��ve done!��


    He did not expect that Huang Haoyan and his daughter actually got into such big trouble.


    Now, he wished to smack Huang Haoyan to death with one slap.


    Huang Haoyan��s complexion turned ashen. Kneeling on the ground with a thud, he cried bitterly as he said, ��C-City Lord Your Excellency, I really didn��t know! If I had long known that the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was in the merfolk tribe, I wouldn��t have dared to take it even if I had ten times the courage!��


    Su Yi gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��What��s the use of saying this now? If you have the capability, go and talk to the Thistle South Royal Clan!��


    The other people��s faces were also unfriendly.


    Clearly, they were very displeased with Huang Haoyan.


    After all, the implications of this matter were too great!


    The entire Land of Heavenly South would probably be swept into this war.


    ��Father, it has nothing to do with Big Brother Yan! It was Daughter who took this Emerald Sea Divine Conch out from the merfolk tribe��s Treasure Depository Pavilion!�� Su Peiyun also knelt down and said.


    ��You!�� Su Yi was angered until he almost vomited blood.


    Just now, when he blew his top, it seemed like he was in a thundering rage, but actually, he had the intention of taking his daughter out.


    Su Yi knew that going to the merfolk tribe was led by Huang Haoyan.


    Since that was the case, let him bear the responsibility then.


    He did not expect that his daughter actually jumped out herself!


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, how could he still defend her?


    Huang Haoyan��s gaze suddenly turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��City Lord Your Excellency and seniors, this matter was orchestrated by me alone. It has nothing to do with others! Peiyun only used the Water Concealment Pearl to sneak into the merfolk tribe after listening to me! This matter, Haoyan will bear it all myself! I��ll bring the Emerald Sea Divine Conch now and go explain it clearly to the Thistle South Royal Clan!��


    The current Huang Haoyan, the cowardly look in his eyes had disappeared.


    What replaced it was the responsibility that a man assumed!


    The moment Su Yi heard, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.


    He did not expect that Huang Haoyan would actually say something like this.


    It seemed like this boy had genuine feelings for his daughter.


    However, between Huang Haoyan and his daughter, he would obviously choose his daughter.


    ��Okay! The trouble that you caused, resolve it yourself!�� Su Yi said in a solemn voice.


    The others did not stop him and just observed with cool detachment.


    Causing this kind of catastrophe, doing so was ought to be.


    ��Father!�� Su Peiyun had tears in her eyes as she said shrilly.


    Huang Haoyan received the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and said to Su Peiyun with a smile, ��Peiyun, don��t mess around! This matter was caused by me in the first place. It should naturally be shouldered by me! City Lord Su isn��t wrong, don��t hate him!��


    ��But ���� Su Peiyun said in tears.


    ��There��s no but! If there��s a next life, we��ll still be together!�� Huang Haoyan kissed Su Peiyun in front of everyone.


    This scene should have been beautiful, but at this time, it seemed very bleak.


    Everyone knew that when Huang Haoyan left, he would definitely die beyond a doubt.


    Whether or not the sea race would still continue to launch the sea war after accepting the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was hard to say.


    But Huang Haoyan would definitely die.


    Finished saying, Huang Haoyan turned around and left.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up. He said, ��Hold on!��


    Huang Haoyan was taken aback and gave a bow toward Ye Yuan and asked, ��What advice does Master Ye have?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ll accompany you.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s expressions changed abruptly.


    Facing the sea race army, even a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse would not dare to go out too, let alone a puny little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum?


    Was Ye Yuan tired of living, accompanying Huang Haoyan to go and die?


    ��No! You mustn��t at this time!�� Before Huang Haoyan spoke, Cui Tong immediately turned it down.


    Jiang Li also urged, ��How noble is Master Ye��s status? How can you risk your life?��


    There was the secret of true grade heavenly pill on Ye Yuan!


    This held extraordinary significance to the Land of Heavenly South.


    But he was actually going to send himself to death!


    The group of city lords spoke up one after another, stopping Ye Yuan from going out.


    Just one sentence and the warmth in Huang Haoyan��s heart could not be described using words at all.


    Although the trouble was caused by him.


    But at this time, he hoped that someone could come forward and speak up for him.


    He did not do it on purpose!


    He just made an unintentional mistake!


    But no!


    The people present all treated him like he was a jinx, casting him aside like a pair of worn-out shoes.


    If a Jade Sovereign Heaven came forward at this time and accompanied him, his hope of surviving would greatly increase!


    But there was no one!


    He did not expect that at this time, Ye Yuan would come forward!


    ��Master Ye, Haoyan appreciates your good intentions! But your status is noble and can��t accompany me to go and die! It��s better for Haoyan to go alone for this!�� Huang Haoyan said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who told you and I��m accompanying you to go die? This Ye hasn��t lived enough yet! Alright. This matter is settled like this. You all don��t need to persuade anymore.��


    But Cui Tong said in a solemn voice, ��Young Master Ye, this absolutely won��t do! You can��t go!��


    He looked like if Ye Yuan insisted on it, he would definitely use force.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Elder Cui, you can��t make me stay! We can make a bet. If you make a move against me today, it will be impossible for a true grade heavenly pill to appear in the Land of Heavenly South anymore! If you don��t believe me, feel free to make a move.��


    He naturally knew Cui Tong��s thoughts. The reason why these people were so polite to him, was naturally in hopes that he would pass down the method of true grade.


    Therefore, this was what they cared about most, and not him.


    In contrast, Huang Haoyan was much more sincere.


    Cui Tong��s gaze turned intent, a look of struggle appeared in his eyes.


    How could a puny little Greater Sublime Heaven possibly escape from the hands of a Jade Sovereign Heaven?


    But Ye Yuan��s calm appearance made him somewhat lacking in confidence.


    If he really pushed Ye Yuan into a corner but failed to control him, then the consequences would be severe.


    Ye Yuan ignored Cui Tong and said to Su Yi, ��City Lord Su, prepare some heavenly medicines for me according to the list in this jade slip. The more the merrier!��

 Chapter 2655 - Can We Talk Nicely Now?

    On the city wall, Cui Tong, Su Yi, and the rest all turned pale.


    In the distance, it was full of seafolk in a dense swarm, a vast expanse stretching to infinity.


    The Thistle South Sea Region��s area was extremely vast. The area was more than ten times that of the land area of Heavenly South.


    The Thistle South Royal Clan commanded dozens of large and small tribes, numbering in the hundreds of millions.


    ��This �� This is also too terrifying! The Thistle South Royal Clan moved the entire Thistle South Sea Region over!�� Su Yi said in a trembling voice.


    At this time, Calm South City was surrounded tightly in all directions by the sea race like an iron bucket, with no way out at all.


    Even if a Jade Sovereign Heaven came out, no need for the sea race��s Jade Sovereign Heavens to make a move, they would probably be piled to death by people too.


    Cui Tong said in a solemn voice, ��Huang Haoyan this boy really deserves a thousand times over!��


    Many people nodded their heads, clearly agreeing a lot with this statement.


    Right, you might not have intended it, but so many people had to be buried in death with you!


    ��Sigh, a shame about Ye Yuan! Really don��t know how that boy thinks, to actually want to accompany Huang Haoyan to go and die! Could it be that he thinks that he��s a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse?�� Sun Yunjing shook his head and said.


    In the end, Cui Tong still did not choose to make a move.


    No matter how one looked at it, Ye Yuan had an incomparably powerful faction behind him.


    This kind of genius disciple, how could he possibly not have any treasures on him to defend himself?


    If he was captured, it was still fine. But if he could not capture him, not only would the true grade heavenly pill go up in smoke, it might even bring down a powerful force against them.


    Right now, the Thistle South sea race this hurdle was already a pain. If new problems cropped up again unexpectedly, he could not shoulder the responsibility.


    Therefore, he could only allow Ye Yuan to mess around.


    ��Alright, let us go out!�� At this time, Ye Yuan��s indifferent voice came from the bottom of the city wall.


    The city gates opened. A small boat followed the current and steered in the direction of the seafolk army.


    On the boat, Huang Haoyan was trembling.


    Before coming out, he could say it very confidently.


    But when it really came down to it, he still could not help becoming scared.


    Especially that there was a dense crowd of seafolk in front, how could he not be afraid?


    ��M-Master Ye, a-aren��t you afraid?�� Huang Haoyan��s tongue was somewhat knotted.


    He saw that Ye Yuan was very calm and did not know where Ye Yuan��s confidence came from.


    Even Heavenly South City Lord also could not possibly be as calm as Ye Yuan when facing such a large army.


    Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said with a smile, ��If you have the strength, you��ll naturally have the confidence! Just relax. There��s nothing to be scared of. Actually, the ones who are not to be trifled with the most in this world are heavenly alchemists.��


    Huang Haoyan rolled his eyes. The heavenly alchemists on top of city walls, even if there were not more than 50 of them, at least there were 30 of them.


    But no one talked like Ye Yuan!


    However, seeing that Ye Yuan was so calm, Huang Haoyan��s mood really eased up a little and was no longer as scared as he was before.


    Very soon, the small boat floated in front of the seafolk army.


    In virtually an instant, the two were surrounded tightly by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals.


    Huang Haoyan��s complexion turned ashen pale once again.


    The powerful pressure made him virtually unable to breathe, unable to even speak.


    ��Two Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum little fellows actually dare to come and seek death! Flay the two of their skins and hold it up to make flag posts!�� A black-robed general with a fish head and human body shouted loudly.


    This black shark seafolk had the cultivation of peak Jade Sovereign Heaven, his strength astonishing.


    Clearly, he was the commander-in-chief for this army.


    He did not give Ye Yuan two people a chance to explain either, directly killing them!


    Ye Yuan��s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, ��I have the thing that you all want!��


    As he said, he raised the Emerald Sea Divine Conch high up.


    When the black shark commander saw the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, his gaze suddenly turned sharp and he cried out in surprise, ��Emerald Sea Divine Conch! It��s indeed the Emerald Sea Divine Conch! What are you all still in a dash for? Kill the two of them for me and seize the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!��


    Under his word of command, countless seafolk rushed forward in swarms.


    Ye Yuan��s face fell. He did not expect that the other party was actually so unreasonable!


    The rule where delegates must not be killed when two countries were at war, completely did not exist in the other party��s eyes.


    ��Humph!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, sword energy suddenly rippling out.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    It was only to see sword light flashing. Within a few breaths of time, he already reaped the lives of hundreds of seafolk!


    Huang Haoyan was dumbfounded with shock from watching and exclaimed in surprise, ��This is the second form of Great Dao Transformation! No wonder Master Ye could repel the merfolk tribe with his power alone!��


    On top of the city walls, when Cui Tong and the rest saw this scene too, each and every one of them was incredibly shocked.


    ��This boy is also too monstrous! I thought that his alchemy path strength was so impressive, so his martial arts was probably not that good. Unexpectedly, he actually comprehended Great Dao Transformation. Furthermore, he already broke through to the second form! He��s virtually invincible in Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum already!�� Cui Tong said in shock.


    Su Yi also said in shock, ��How on earth did he cultivate? Being proficient in both alchemy and martial arts, each one is immensely formidable!��


    But Wu Dao shook his head and said with a sigh, ��It��s no use! He��s just a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum. No matter how strong his martial arts is, it��s impossible to kill his way out too!��


    Everyone��s expressions changed, becoming heavy.


    Sending such a genius to go and die, it was too much of a shame.


    The black shark commander��s eyes also turned intent and he said in a solemn voice, ��Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum generals, kill this boy for me!��


    This sound naturally landed in Ye Yuan��s ears too.


    He gave a cold snort and said, ��Looks like when dealing with you barbarians, it��s superfluous to pay courtesy first! Then, let��s draw arms before greeting!��


    Ye Yuan stomped his feet, a light halo quickly spread out with him as the center.


    Around him, the eyes of the seafolk all rolled back and they collapsed.


    Even Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums were not immune too!


    Those Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums that came to kill Ye Yuan all seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex, then fell into the water, convulsing endlessly!


    With Ye Yuan as the center, all those seafolk were all paralyzed.


    300 feet!


    1000 feet!


    One mile!


    Ten miles!


    In several breaths of time, all of the seafolk within a radius of ten miles were all paralyzed.


    On the surface of the water, those seafolk already had their fish bellies facing the sky, unable to fight anymore.


    ��What! This �� How is this possible?��


    When the black shark commander saw this scene, his eyes became wide-saucers!


    Not just him, those people on top of the city wall likewise had astonished faces.


    ��This �� What��s going on?��


    ��My God, this speed of killing is also too quick, right?��


    ��The number of seafolk in a ten-mile radius, there are probably several hundred thousand, right? They all died in a few breaths of time?��


    �� ��


    The muscles on the faces of Cui Tong and the rest were almost spasming out.


    No one thought that Ye Yuan actually still had this kind of terrifying means.


    Forget about the Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratums and Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratums, even for Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, they were all eliminated.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable!


    This was the Windward Topple after Ye Yuan improved it!


    The poison usage of Windward Topple was spread through the wind.


    After Ye Yuan improved it, the poison could be quickly applied through water currents!


    Furthermore, under this kind of torrential storm, the spreading speed of Windward Topple was even faster through the poison formation!


    ��This �� This �� My eyes aren��t failing me, right?�� Huang Haoyan already closed his eyes to await death just now. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, the surrounding area became flat.


    Ye Yuan looked at the black shark commander from afar and said in a solemn voice, ��Moron, can we talk nicely now?��

 Chapter 2656 - Negotiation

    ��What did you say?��


    When the black shark commander heard that, he was immediately furious.


    The seafolk had bloodthirsty temperaments to begin with and were very irritable. How could he endure Ye Yuan��s contemptuous tone?


    ��I said, moron!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Foolish human, you��ll pay the price for your stupidity!��


    The black shark commander��s gaze turned dark, and he suddenly opened his gaping maws wide.


    A huge wave suddenly swept up from the water surface under Ye Yuan��s feet, instantly engulfing Ye Yuan.


    An enormous water column rose to the sky, forming a huge whirlpool.


    It could be gathered that the Ye Yuan inside the whirlpool was probably directly ground into dregs already.


    Seeing this, the black shark commander said smugly, ��Heh, stupid human!��


    On top of the city walls, Cui Tong and the rest all sighed heavily.


    A peerless genius actually fell just like this!


    Although talented, he was a fool!


    Provoking the seafolk commander like this, how could there be the logic of not dying?


    ��Moron, what are you being pleased about?�� Ye Yuan��s voice sounded out again.


    His body turned from illusory to solid.


    That water column did not hit him at all!


    The black shark commander trembled all over and said in astonishment, ��Fine lad, spatial rule!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slowly and said, ��Mn, at least you have some knowledge, moron. Then can we talk nicely now?��


    Ye Yuan repeatedly calling him a moron created a rage in the black shark��s heart.


    His gaze turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, do you really think that this general can��t do anything to you?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course, you have ways to deal with me. But, before you kill me, I can assure you that these numerous underlings that you brought, those below Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum will all die! All these earlier were just a warning. If you��re still impervious to reason, you can give it a try. If you really piss me off, your Thistle South Royal Clan will be a lone general without an army in the future!��


    The black shark commander��s gaze turned dark, and he said with a cold snort, ��Despicable human! You snatched our Emerald Sea Divine Conch and actually still dare to be so rude!��


    He was afraid!


    To tell the truth, the scene of Ye Yuan instantly killing ten miles worth of seafolk just now made him extremely fearful.


    These seafolk were not dead yet, but next time, it would not necessarily be the case!


    This boy��s method of poisoning was inconceivable.


    This time, they brought more than 60% of the seafolk��s combat force!


    If they all fell here, then the Thistle South Sea Race would really suffer a great loss in vitality.


    Furthermore, the Thistle South Sea Race was not peaceful across the four seas, they had extremely powerful opponents all around too.


    Once all these combat forces died out, then the Thistle South Royal Clan would definitely be replaced.


    He could not afford this!


    Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, ��If you were so obedient earlier, wouldn��t it have been settled? The two of us came to return the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, and you were shouting and wrangling to kill us the moment you saw us, how rude! Now, you��re blaming us for being rude? Is it that if the two of us were directly killed by you, it would be called being polite?��


    The black shark��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Since it��s to return the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, hand it over!��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said crossly, ��Moron, does your fish brain work or not? Want the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, sure. But shouldn��t your sea race show some sincerity first? I think that you��re not the person in charge here, right? Get the person in charge to come out!��


    This black shark general��s brain was completely stiff, he only knew how to shout and wrangle.


    How could this sort of person lead an operation of hundreds of millions of seafolk?


    ��Blackrain, step down.��


    The black shark commander still wanted to say something but was stopped by a voice.


    Hearing this voice, the black shark commander immediately became incomparably respectful and stepped aside.


    In the sea race army, a youth with the head of a dragon and the body of a human slowly walked out.


    ��Yes, Dragon Son, Your Highness!�� Blackrain said respectfully.


    At this time, Cui Tong and the rest exchanged glances on top of the city walls.


    Everyone looked at each other, all shocked to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan really suppressed the Thistle South Royal Clan all by himself!


    ��He really did it! The dragon son showing himself, the sea race has already agreed to negotiate under Ye Yuan��s oppression! We all thought that he went to deliver himself to death. In the end, he really did it!�� Cui Tong drew a cold breath as he was speaking.


    Ye Yuan��s series of methods left him bedazzled.


    Especially the scene of paralyzing a ten miles radius of seafolk through the poison formation, the impact of that scene was too strong.


    A puny little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum stood amidst countless seafolk but was akin to a demon god.


    In fact, even the sea race army, the peak Jade Sovereign Heaven Blackrain, could not do anything to him as well!


    ��Master Ye is really divine!�� Jiang Li said in surprise.


    Everyone nodded their heads, being already speechless.


    Who said that Ye Yuan went to seek death?


    The dragon son looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you were so confident that no one among my sea race can suppress you?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Looks like you��re a member of the royal clan. You don��t need to say this sort of outwardly threatening, but inwardly trembling words to me. If I was scared of you all, I naturally wouldn��t have dared to come out either. If you want to kill me, sure. But you��ll need to be prepared to suffer heavy losses. I��ll give you a chance. You can try it again! But this time, it won��t be an anesthetic anymore!��


    The dragon son��s dragon face seemed to have an ugly look.


    The Thistle South Royal Clan was an existence that the entire Land of Heavenly South dreaded. But now, it suffered a loss in front of a boy.


    The dragon son said in a solemn voice, ��You humans stole my royal clan��s treasure and actually still dare to threaten me. Do you really think that this dragon son doesn��t dare to fight it out?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Dragon Son, Your Highness, what the truth of this matter is, I believe that you��re aware in your heart. How did your royal clan��s ultimate treasure end up in the merfolk tribe��s Treasure Depository Pavilion? This brother of mine was also just lucky enough to be there at the time. That��s how he accidentally took the treasure away. To really talk about it, it��s still your own people��s problem!��


    The dragon son could not help feeling dejected. This incident was indeed their problem.


    But, of course, they would not admit it.


    Actually, this matter was really a coincidence.


    His younger sister, Huan Qin, was born from his royal father and a concubine of the merfolk tribe and was deeply adored by Royal Father.


    Yet, this lass relied on Royal Father��s doting and committed all manners of misconduct in the Dragon Palace.


    This time, she even stole the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and quietly brought it back to her maternal-side family, and casually threw it into the merfolk tribe��s Treasure Depository Pavilion.


    As it happened, Huang Haoyan and party caught up and directly took it away.


    In reality, Huang Haoyan was really an ultimate scapegoat.


    However, this sort of thing, the dragon son would not say it even if he was beaten to death.


    The dragon son was somewhat impatient and waved his hand and said, ��Enough nonsense! Hurry up and hand the Emerald Sea Divine Conch over! Otherwise, I want to see whether or not you can really poison my army to death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Dragon Son, are you taking me to be a fool? Want the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, sure! You all immediately stop casting the Creation Heavenly Rain Secret Technique and retreat to the coastline! Ten days later, I��ll bring the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and return it to the original owner there!��


    ��No way!��


    Dragon Son waved his hand and immediately rejected it. He said, ��You humans are the most untrustworthy. If you don��t return it after ten days, what about it?��


    In order to launch the sea war this time, the Thistle South Royal Clan expended a huge price too.


    How could they possibly let him withdraw just like this?


    In reality, wanting the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was one thing. They were originally planning to teach the humans a painful lesson too.

 Chapter 2657 - : Emerald Sea Divine Conch’s Change!

    ��Heh, being a grandmist treasure, I can��t imagine its power. If I return it to you guys now, wouldn��t it be tantamount to handing my own life to you?�� Ye Yuan shook his head and said.


    The ten days�� time that he fought for, it was actually for Heavenly South to gather troops.


    If he returned the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and the other party went back on their word, it would be hard to guarantee that there would not be a big battle.


    The dragon son frowned and said, ��No matter what, there��s no way we��ll agree to your terms.��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��It looks like your goal isn��t just the Emerald Sea Divine Conch! Since that��s the case, then there��s no choice. Let��s showcase our true abilities then!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan stomped his foot. The power of a grand array suddenly rippled out.


    When those seafolk saw this scene, their expressions immediately changed drastically and fled like crazy.


    Even the dragon son��s expression turned slightly pale too.


    He was only a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse and could not block Ye Yuan��s poison!


    The dragon son said, ��Consider yourself ruthless! We��ll withdraw! However, you have to make an origin divinity contract with this dragon son. If one party violates it, heaven and earth will destroy him!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��As it ought to be!��


    �� ��


    The torrential rain ceased and the tide receded.


    On the city wall, everyone saw the sea race leave with the waves and felt like they just had a dream.


    The Huang Haoyan who was beside Ye Yuan still had not wrapped his brain around it until now, his entire person feeling muddle-headed.


    He actually came back alive!


    This result was what he never expected.


    When Su Peiyun saw him, she jumped directly into his arms.


    ��P-Peiyun, am I still alive? Am I dreaming?�� Huang Haoyan said in disbelief.


    Su Peiyun flicked him, having tears through her smile as she said, ��You��re still alive! You��re not dreaming! It was Master Ye who saved you!��


    ��Right, right, right! Master Ye! It��s Master Ye!��


    Huang Haoyan suddenly startled awake and directly knelt down to Ye Yuan and said, ��Many thanks to Master Ye for your life-saving grace!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Alright, go back and rest. You take this Heavenly Tranquil Pill back. Refine it well.��


    This kind of grand spectacle had a great impact on Huang Haoyan��s mind.


    Right now, he was feeling ill at ease. It had a great impact on cultivation. He needed to adjust for a bit.


    Heavenly Tranquil Pill was the best heavenly pill for calming the spirit and focusing your mind. The grade of ninth grade perfection would naturally help Huang Haoyan stabilize his mind.


    Huang Haoyan received the Heavenly Tranquil Pill and felt incomparably touched and left with a thousand thanks.


    ��Master Ye��s means is truly astonishing! What you saved isn��t just Huang Haoyan, there��s also all of these nine cities�� civilians! This Cui thanks Master Ye on their behalf for your great kindness!��


    Cui Tong gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Now, not planning on capturing me anymore?��


    Cui Tong��s old face turned red and he blushed and said, ��Master Ye don��t blame me! It��s really that ����


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said indifferently, ��Your ulterior thoughts can��t be hidden from me. Rest assured, I��ll leave behind a legacy in the Land of Heavenly South. But that��s my business. It has nothing to do with you, understand?��


    When Cui Tong and the rest heard that, they were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said, ��This Cui understands! Understands!��


    At this very moment, only then did Cui Tong know how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.


    Even the black shark general could not make Ye Yuan stay. Just the likes of them, three middle Jade Sovereign Heavens, how could they keep Ye Yuan behind?


    Cui Tong could not help rejoicing for not making a move back then.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would never have left behind his legacy.


    Cui Tong��s eyes swiveled around and he said, ��Master Ye, since you have such a fearsome poisoning method, can we wipe the sea race out in one fell swoop ten days later?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said smilingly, ��Elder Cui, you��re thinking too much! How many hundreds of millions does the sea race living things are there? No matter how formidable my poison is, it��s also impossible to poison all of them to death!��


    Ye Yuan naturally knew Cui Tong��s thoughts. He wanted to slaughter the Thistle South sea race completely to avoid future troubles forever.


    It was just that, he was merely utilizing an empty-fort strategy previously.


    No matter how powerful the poison, it was also impossible to kill an entire sea region of sea race true spirits.


    Cui Tong opened his mouth wide and said with a shocked face, ��You �� You bluffed them?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The power of my poison formation is the strongest within ten miles! Outside of ten miles, it��s beyond my ability! That black shark commander��s strength is quite strong, if it really came to blows, do you feel that I��ll have the chance to poison all of the seafolk to death? Slaughtering all of the seafolk, forget about me, even if a Saint Sovereign Heaven came, they can��t do it too!��


    ��This �� This ����


    ��Master Ye, you��re playing mind games!��


    ��Master Ye, once you get exposed, that��s dying without a burial ground! You��re really gutsy!��


    �� ��


    The city lord big shots present were all shocked until they stared at him dumbfoundedly.


    Not only did Ye Yuan hide it from the dragon son, he even hid it from the powerhouses in the city!


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��This matter seems dangerous, but actually, it��s very safe! Anyone who saw me instantly killing ten miles of seafolk will find it impossible to not be shocked. As long as he��s afraid, I��ll naturally be safe. At least, you all also thought that I could kill all of the seafolk, right?��


    Cui Tong and the rest were taken aback and actually could not find the words to refute it.


    Yeah!


    The impact of that scene was seriously too intense.


    Even if it was a peak Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, it would also be impossible to instantly kill all of the powerhouses in a radius of ten miles!


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    Since he did it, that sort of psychological suggestion would be very strong.


    The seafolk feared death too, especially the royal clan.


    Therefore, the operation this time seemed dangerous but was actually very safe.


    The gazes of Cui Tong and the rest when they looked at Ye Yuan again were already full of awe.


    Forget that this boy was proficient in both alchemy and martial arts, he was also bold and meticulous, having everything under control.


    Using there was a gully in his chest and a universe in his abdomen to describe Ye Yuan was all too apt.


    Such a person was simply too monstrous!


    �� ��


    Ten days passed in a flash.


    The sea race army retreated, and the ocean became land once again.


    In ten days, Heavenly South City also completed the assembly of an army and rushed to Calm South City.


    Heavenly South army��s commander-in-chief, was Heavenly South City��s deputy city lord, Ning Guangcheng.


    Ye Yuan was not concerned about the changes in the outside world.


    During these ten days, he had been in closed-seclusion all along.


    After repeated battles, coupled with the help of heavenly pills, Ye Yuan��s strength already reached peak middle Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    In these ten days, he was currently breaking through to upper Greater Sublime Heaven.


    Suddenly, one light halo after another suddenly lit up inside the secret chamber.


    Ye Yuan felt that his entire body started burning.


    ��Mn? This is ����


    Ye Yuan looked at the Emerald Sea Divine Conch in front of him and had a look of shock.


    Ever since the battle outside the city, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was being safeguarded by Ye Yuan for the time being.


    He could not see through this item all along. It did not seem like a grandmist treasure at all.


    Otherwise, even if he did not know the grandmist treasure, it would also not be to an extent of not recognizing it.


    This conch was too ordinary.


    But today, an undulation actually occurred.


    Furthermore, its undulation actually affected him!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he hurriedly calmed down.


    Within the secret chamber, spiritual energy suddenly gathered.


    In virtually an instant, Ye Yuan broke through the bottleneck and reached upper Greater Sublime Heaven!


    And this was not the end yet!


    Under the influence of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, the blood in Ye Yuan��s body started burning crazily.


    His realm was soaring toward grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven!


    ��Hehehe, really interesting! I didn��t expect to actually meet a clansman!�� Suddenly, a silver bell-like laughter sounded out in the secret chamber.

 Chapter 2658 - Battling Dragon Girl

    ��You��re from the Thistle South Royal Clan?�� Ye Yuan looked at the six or seven-year-old little girl in front of him and asked with a frown.


    The little girl was captivating and cute, like a porcelain doll, delighting people when they saw her.


    There was a pair of horns on top of her head, showing her identity as a member of the Thistle South Royal Clan.


    Ye Yuan already knew that this Thistle South Royal Clan was actually a flood dragon lineage.


    A flood dragon was merely a low-level dragon race. Its bloodline was far from that of the true dragon race.


    But Ye Yuan could feel that the bloodline of this little girl in front of him was extremely strong.


    ��You��re so lame, is there still a need to ask such an obvious thing?�� The little girl said.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and laughed in spite of himself as he said, ��Alright, looking at your appearance, you��ve been hiding in the Emerald Sea Divine Conch all along?��


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that this Emerald Sea Divine Conch actually formed its own space and a member of the dragon race actually hid inside.


    However, this treasure had always been in Huang Haoyan��s hands. Ye Yuan did not probe it carefully either.


    This little girl was mischievous and had a sly look as she said, ��Yeah, when that beautiful big sister entered the merfolk tribe, I knew that the chance came. Hence, I hid in the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and entered the Treasure Depository Pavilion. And then I was brought out by her.��


    Ye Yuan was dumbstruck with amazement from listening, looking at the little girl in shock.


    Heavenly South and Thistle South almost underwent a horrifying war, it was actually just because of this little girl��s prank?


    Feeling the unfriendly look in Ye Yuan��s eyes, the little girl was indifferent as she said with a grin, ��Big Brother, don��t look at me with this sort of eyes. I��m scared.��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Scared? Huhu, do you know that your prank almost plunged hundreds of millions of lives into misery and suffering?��


    If not for Ye Yuan coming to Heavenly South in an accident arising from many causes, the land of nine cities would probably have already been razed to the ground.


    He was unable to tolerate this degree of prank.


    The little girl said without the least bit of care, ��What does that have to do with me?��


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said in a solemn voice, ��Then why did you show yourself now?��


    The little girl smiled and said, ��Uh, no reason. I��m just telling you that I��m leaving.��


    ��Leaving? Where are you going?�� Ye Yuan frowned and asked.


    The little girl reached her hand out and beckoned. The Emerald Sea Divine Conch was hidden between her brows.


    ��Of course, I��m going out for a stroll! I��ve long been yearning for the land and really wanted to go out and take a look. I��m going, bye bye!��


    Finished saying, the little girl took a step out and directly concealed into the void.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and suddenly pointed a finger out.


    ��Ouch!��


    The little girl felt pain and was actually directly forced out.


    She looked at Ye Yuan with a look of annoyance and said, ��Hey, why are you bullying me?��


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Your Thistle South Royal Clan launched a sea war for the Emerald Sea Divine Conch. Did you know that?��


    The little girl said with annoyance, ��What has that got to do with me?��


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said in a solemn voice, ��If you want to go, sure. Leave behind the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!��


    The girl snorted lightly and said, ��Based on what?��


    Ye Yuan��s patience was worn out too and he said with decisiveness that could chop iron, ��Not based on anything!��


    ��Humph! You��re merely a puny little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, that��s all. Do you really think that I��m scared of you?��


    The little girl had a black face, and she formed a spell with her hands.


    Immediately, the inside of the entire secret chamber was completely filled with water.


    Ye Yuan only felt that the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy was completely isolated.


    Along with that, he felt that his movements, his thinking, even the circulation of the divine essence within his body, all had become slow.


    The moment she attacked, this little girl was actually a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    Furthermore, her application of water rule had almost reached the penultimate.


    The little girl said smugly, ��Humph, can��t move anymore, right? To dare make a move against this young lady, looking for a rebuff!��


    ��Is that so? Break for me!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, eight streaks of sword light suddenly bloomed.


    The powerful sword lights burst forth and actually directly blasted the water curtain apart.


    The little girl jumped in fright and said in shock, ��How is this possible? Even if it��s a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, they can��t break free from my water domain space too! You actually did it?��


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Originally, seeing that you were a little girl, I didn��t want to stoop to your level. Looking at it now, you��re really impervious to reason!��


    This girlie was completely unreasonable.


    Having caused this massive problem, she actually wanted to walk away from it.


    If he was still a middle Greater Sublime Heaven, he would really have to expend some effort to deal with this girl.


    But now, he already reached grand completion Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum. With his law attainments, how could he fear a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven?


    Even though this little girl was indeed formidable.


    ��Humph! Just the likes of you?��


    That little girl gave a cold snort, her hands forming a spell again. A water dragon condensed and emerged.


    When this water dragon appeared, it was akin to a living thing, carrying a pressure that stirred the soul.


    Great Dao Transformation!


    Bang!


    How could the secret chamber withstand this kind of pressure? It directly collapsed.


    The powerhouses in the city were instantly startled and rushed over one after another.


    ��What happened? Who��s that little girl?��


    ��Thistle South Royal Clan! Great Dao Transformation! This little girl��s strength is so strong! Probably even Dragon Son Huining can��t compare to her too! When did such a monster appear in the Thistle South Royal Clan?��


    ��That little girl is formidable, but isn��t Master Ye more formidable? In a short ten days, he actually broke through two minor realms consecutively! Furthermore, he suppressed that water dragon completely, showing the might of his strength!��


    �� ��


    Those city lords were all extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan only broke through for ten days and actually directly reached grand completion Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    This cultivation speed was a little too terrifying.


    What was even more surprising was that Ye Yuan��s combat strength could already confront a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum head-on!


    One had to know, this little girl herself was an existence who could jump realms and battle!


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s eight transformed swords erupted with rays of brilliant light in the void, ravaging the water dragon full of injuries.


    The little girl��s complexion turned paler.


    She never paid attention to Ye Yuan at all before. Ye Yuan was merely an ant-like existence in her eyes.


    Who would have expected that the ant in her eyes actually forced her into a fluster?


    In the royal clan, she was invincible in the same rank!


    Even her elder brother, Dragon Son Huining, was not her match either.


    Now, she was actually forced into such a state by a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    ��Humph! Stinking big brother, bad big brother, you forced me!��


    The little girl��s glabella lit up, and the Emerald Sea Divine Conch appeared.


    A terrifying power instantly enveloped the entire city.


    The light halo spread out, shrouding onto the water dragon.


    That water dragon that was covered all over with wounds and scars actually recovered fully in an instant!


    Furthermore, its body became much more solid, its power rising to a new high compared to before.


    ��Roar!��


    The water dragon opened its mouth and countless water arrows gushed out, flying straight for Ye Yuan.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all greatly shocked.


    No one expected that that mysterious Emerald Sea Divine Conch actually became so powerful in this little girl��s hands.


    The power of the water dragon increased several times all at once!


    Under these water arrows, even if it��s a middle Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, they would probably have to die with regrets too!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark and he said with a cold snort, ��Sword of Great Dao, chop!��


    Above the void, eight sword lights suddenly merged into one.


    An astonishing sword intent chopped down towards the water dragon under Ye Yuan��s control.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan brought out the Heavenspan Mountain and placed it in front of him.


    Those countless water arrows were unable to pierce through the Heavenspan Mountain at all.


    Swish!


    Under the sword, the water dragon was directly severed into two!

 Chapter 2659 - Disciplining

    Chapter 2659: Disciplining


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Big baddy brother, how can you be so strong?��


    The little girl opened her eyes wide to look at Ye Yuan, a look of surprise on her face.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was actually even stronger than her!


    She utilized the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and was actually unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    ��But it��s useless!��


    It was only to see the little girl muttering something. The Emerald Sea Divine Conch seemed to have been inspired, bursting forth with an even stronger light halo.


    The entire Calm South City fell into a huge panic all at once.


    Cui Tong��s complexion was deathly pale as he said in shock, ��Is this the power of a legendary grandmist treasure? This power seems to be like Heavenly Dao pressing down! Even if it��s a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, they will probably perish under this attack too!��


    Ye Yuan��s face finally revealed a solemn expression.


    The power of this grandmist treasure was simply too terrifying.


    Even he felt heart palpitations too.


    Without a doubt, once this move landed, it would absolutely be an earth-shattering blow!


    Most likely, the entire Calm South City would be directly destroyed.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that a little girl was actually so terrifying that she could unleash this kind of terrifying power.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan��s expression changed, the little girl seemed to have the delight of winning and said with a giggle, ��Big baddy brother, you know my prowess now, right? Relax, I won��t kill you. I��m just going to beat you flat on the ground!��


    Although the little girl was capricious, she did not seem to be a bloodthirsty person.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was livid. But right at this time, that mysterious calling sensation previously welled up in his heart again.


    It was precisely by absorbing this mysterious power, that Ye Yuan broke through to the realm of grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven within a short time.


    That was the power of bloodline!


    At this time, Ye Yuan naturally would not let go of this opportunity.


    Following that mysterious power, Ye Yuan searched for it.


    The blood in Ye Yuan��s body started boiling again.


    After ascending to Heavenly Stratum, the true dragon power in Ye Yuan��s body seemed to have already incubated, without the slightest activity.


    But at this time, this mysterious power was hooked out by the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    Ye Yuan suddenly snapped open his eyes and let out a cold cry, ��Collect!��


    The terrifying power that covered the city immediately disappeared without a trace.


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch also turned into a beam of light and flew into Ye Yuan��s hand.


    The little girl opened her eyes wide, looking at this scene with a look of disbelief on her face.


    ��Y-Y-You �� What did you do?�� A look of fear finally showed on the little girl��s face.


    And the city full of people let out a long sigh of relief too.


    It was just that their eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became even weirder.


    Just how many trump cards did this guy have?


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch was clearly this girl��s lifeblood treasure. How did it suddenly get collected by Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan looked at the little girl with an unfriendly expression and said with a cold snort, ��It doesn��t matter what I��ve done. What��s important is what you��ve done!��


    Swoosh!


    His voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s figure flashed, already arriving in front of the little girl.


    The little girl��s final reliance was also gone at this time, turning pale with fright. How could she still have the courage to fight back?


    Ye Yuan came in a threatening manner and scattered the divine essence that the little girl had gathered with a slap.


    Then, he scooped the little girl up and smacked the girl��s buttocks vigorously.


    Slap, slap, slap ��


    Smack after smack, making everyone dumbfounded with shock.


    That appearance was just like a father using corporal punishment on his child.


    These few slaps by Ye Yuan carried divine essence.


    The little girl��s tears actually streamed down like pearls in her pain.


    Each of Ye Yuan��s slaps was very vicious. The little girl was still unwilling to submit at first, attempting to condense divine essence to break free from Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan did not give her the chance at all. Before her divine essence was gathered, it would be scattered by Ye Yuan.


    ��Bad big brother! Stinking big brother! The number one baddest big brother in the world! Even Royal Father and Royal Mother can��t bear to hit me, but you actually dared to hit my buttocks! After going back, I��ll definitely tell Royal Father and have him hit your buttocks too!��


    The current little girl was exactly the same as an ordinary little girl.


    While Cui Tong and the rest exchanged glances, having shocked expressions on their faces.


    Without a doubt, this little girl��s royal father was the king of the Thistle South Sea Region, the Black Flood Dragon King!


    ��Master Ye, you can��t hit anymore! Don��t hit!��


    Cui Tong hurriedly spoke up: ��This little girl should be Black Flood Dragon King��s newly gained daughter 100 years ago! I heard that she��s pampered to the extreme! Insulting Her Highness, Little Dragon Girl like this, Black Flood Dragon King definitely won��t let you off!��


    Heavenly South had always paid close attention to the Thistle South Royal Clan��s dynamics.


    A hundred years ago, Black Flood Dragon King and the merfolk tribe��s holy daughter got together and gave birth to a little dragon girl.


    This little dragon girl��s bloodline power was extremely powerful, even stronger than the Black Flood Dragon King!


    After being born, she was regarded as the apple in his eyes, and she was incomparably doted upon.


    This Little Dragon Girl was merely a hundred years old and was actually already Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum. Her talent could be seen.


    Ye Yuan was expressionless and was not moved at all.


    This little girl was lawless and unbridled and almost caused a great disaster. Yet, she behaved completely fine.


    Not teaching her a bit of lesson, she would surely be the bane of Heavenly South in the future.


    ��Wah, wah, wah ����


    Little Dragon Girl wept heavily, tears quickly turning into a huge ocean.


    Before long, Calm South City��s water level actually reached the knee!


    ��Girlie, do you know that you��re wrong yet?�� Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    ��I��m not wrong!��


    Pah!


    ��Know that you��re wrong yet?��


    ��Ouch, I �� I know that I was wrong! Nice big brother, you��re my bestest bestest big brother, I beg you, stop hitting! Sniff, sniff, sniff ����


    Ye Yuan finally let the girl go, only to discover that her eyes were already swollen from crying.


    However, Ye Yuan did not have any psychological burdens. It was true that this lass was too roguish.


    A hundred years of age was merely just a child to the flood dragon clan.


    This lass was not wicked. But she was clearly spoiled rotten and was already lawless and unbridled.


    If he left her to leave today, disregarding that a long war would happen between Heavenly South and Thistle South, he would also be killed by her.


    This sort of thing made Ye Yuan very angry, so he struck extremely heavily.


    The little girl used an extremely hateful gaze to look at Ye Yuan, daring to feel indignant, but she did not dare to speak.


    Ye Yuan completely ignored her and said coolly, ��If you want to leave, it is up to you! This Emerald Sea Divine Conch, I��ll be keeping it!��


    The little girl gritted her teeth and said, ��Leaving the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, I��ll dry up and die on land! Humph! You��re forcing me to go back!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what if I��m forcing you? You, this girl, are too roguish. If you��re not disciplined, you��ll surely cause a disaster in the future!��


    What was scary was not roguishness, what was scary was an existence whose mischievousness became second nature, and had terrifying talent too.


    Ye Yuan knew that this little girl was extremely talented.


    At a young age, she already comprehended the rule of water to an extremely high realm.


    If she harbored malicious intent in the future, the people will probably be plunged into misery and suffering.


    ��Alright, it��s almost time. I��m going to return the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Wait a minute!��


    Right at this time, there was an undulation from the transmission array in the city. Several figures appeared.


    After these few people came out, they just happened to hear Ye Yuan��s words and immediately stopped him.


    Cui Tong��s expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed as he said, ��Deputy City Lord, Ironcore!��


    Ironcore looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��This Emerald Sea Divine Conch is the supreme treasure of the Thistle South Royal Clan! It can��t be returned! Today, my Heavenly South army has already gathered. Even if the Black Flood Dragon King comes in person, we won��t fear him either! Come, hand the Emerald Sea Divine Conch over to me!��

 Chapter 2660 - : Still Want It?

    Ironcore stretched out his hand, having an expression that it was natural and right.


    Cui Tong hurriedly said, ��Brother Ironcore, this Emerald Sea Divine Conch was guaranteed by Ye Yuan to the dragon son with an origin divinity contract that he��ll return it. That��s why the seafolk would return to the coastline! If he doesn��t return it, Ye Yuan will die from Heavenly Dao��s backlash!��


    Ironcore said indifferently, ��Exchanging a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum for a grandmist treasure, this is a great bargain! Brat, hurry up and hand it over. Don��t force this city lord to make a move! Sacrificing you alone to bolster the Land of Heavenly South, your sacrifice is very meaningful!��


    Cui Tong was dumbfounded when he heard it, this Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum was not an ordinary Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    His significance was even greater than a grandmist treasure!


    ��Brother Ironcore ����


    ��No need to say anymore, this city lord��s mind is made up.��


    Cui Tong still wanted to explain more but was directly cut off by Ironcore.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Boy, I give you three breaths of time. Hand over the Emerald Sea Divine Conch. Otherwise, this city lord is going to make a move.��


    ��No need, you can directly make a move.��


    Ye Yuan was directly amused from extreme anger. This guy��s brazenness was really to the extreme level!


    He stabilized the situation of the sea war with his power alone.


    This guy was good, wanting his life and the Emerald Sea Divine Conch the moment he came.


    Very good, very powerful!


    Ironcore��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, looks like you��re refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!��


    ��Drink your bloody head! Just the likes of you also want my Emerald Sea Divine Conch! See if I don��t take care of you! Big Brother, return the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to me, I want to teach him a lesson!��


    Before Ye Yuan said anything, Little Dragon Girl lost it first.


    Little Dragon Girl was young, but it did not mean that she did not understand anything.


    Ye Yuan taking the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, it was just to return it.


    But this deplorable guy wanted to take it for himself.


    If he really prevailed, she would probably have to die here too.


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly and handed the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to her.


    He only took the Emerald Sea Divine Conch in through that trace of mysterious sensation just now. He did not know the method of usage at all.


    But Little Dragon Girl was different.


    After Little Dragon Girl got the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, she did not talk nonsense either, directly deploying it.


    A terrifying pressure descended once more!


    A huge wave gushed out of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, directly crushing over toward Ironcore.


    Ironcore��s entire being was stunned. Before he had time to react, Little Dragon Girl had already taken action.


    Seeing the enormous wave smash over, Ironcore only felt his hair stand on end.


    However, he was, at any rate, a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse, it was naturally impossible to be taken down just like that.


    It was only to see him give a cold snort and suddenly smash a fist over.


    Boom!


    The terrifying fist force directly collided together with the enormous wave, emitting a violent explosion sound.


    But Ironcore��s entire person was directly smashed flying out.


    ��Emerald Sea Tide, Endless Water Dragons!��


    Little Dragon Girl gave a light cry. The water level of the entire Calm South City practically rose several meters in an instant.


    Several dozen water dragons rose from the water!


    Everyone only saw that several dozen water dragons were dancing wildly in the air; utterly terrifying.


    The water dragons gave no chance for explanations, each and every one baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, rushing over toward Ironcore.


    Each of these water dragons actually possessed the strength of a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum!


    From this point of view, when Little Dragon Girl was fighting with Ye Yuan previously, she probably did not even display one percent of her means.


    Fortunately, his bloodline power was even purer than Little Dragon Girl��s. That was how he collected the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    Otherwise, he would really be in an embarrassing situation.


    Each and every one of the powerhouses present was dumbstruck with amazement.


    They all knew that a grandmist treasure was powerful, but did not expect that it was actually this formidable!


    A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum lass could actually summon dozens of Jade Sovereign Heaven level water dragons.


    She alone was equivalent to a large army!


    However, Ye Yuan knew that actually they had misunderstood.


    Ordinary people could not unleash the true power of Emerald Sea Tide at all.


    Little Dragon Girl��s dragon race bloodline was extremely pure. The Emerald Sea Divine Conch was her lifeblood treasure. That was how she could unleash its power to the maximum degree.


    It was also no wonder that she dared to run out alone.


    With this Emerald Sea Divine Conch, this little girl was practically established in an undefeatable position.


    It was just that probably even Little Dragon Girl herself did not expect to actually run into a freak like Ye Yuan, whose dragon race bloodline was even purer than her.


    ��Dripping Water Penetrating Stone!��


    ��Myriad Arrows Simultaneous Release!��


    ��Dragon Prancing the Four Seas!��


    �� ��


    Under Little Dragon Girl��s control, the dozens of water dragons bombarded Ironcore frenziedly, virtually without resting in the least bit.


    However, Ironcore was well-deserving of being Heavenly South City��s deputy city lord too, his strength was incomparably fearsome.


    Although he only had the ability to parry, he barely managed to hold on.


    But Little Dragon Girl��s complexion started turning a little pale.


    Her cultivation realm was too low after all, how could she withstand such a huge consumption?


    ��Big Brother, I almost can��t hold on anymore! Hurry up and lend me a bit of your true dragon power!�� Little Dragon Girl said anxiously.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and pressed his palm on Little Dragon Girl��s back.


    Boom!


    Little Dragon Girl��s tender face turned red all at once.


    That surging and pure true dragon power was akin to tidewater, making her empty dragon power become incomparably plentiful all of a sudden.


    Boom!


    Outside, those water dragons seemed to have received the summons, their stature suddenly increasing several times, their strength also greatly increasing!


    Ironcore was originally still being pleased with himself, planning on draining Little Dragon Girl.


    How could he know, this sudden change caught him by surprise.


    He only felt a tremendous force transmit over. Those water dragons breached his defenses unreasonably.


    One terrifying surge of force after another bombarded against his body.


    Ironcore spurted fresh blood wildly, only having the ability to parry and no more power to fight back.


    ��Hahaha, amazing! Big Brother, you��re really amazing! I��ve never felt such a powerful strength before!��


    Little Dragon Girl laughed like a silver bell tinkling, appearing very happy.


    While the powerhouses present were stunned.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Why would Master Ye have such powerful true dragon power?��


    ��I heard that Little Dragon Girl��s dragon blood is the purest in the Thistle South Sea Region! But it looks like Master Ye is a lot stronger than her!��


    ��Freak! Really a freak! A grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven and a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven actually finished Deputy City Lord off!��


    �� ��


    A grandmist treasure was indeed a powerful treasure. It could greatly enhance a martial artist��s strength.


    But this kind of increment was also too terrifying.


    Two small fries together actually finished off a giant dragon.


    This conclusion, anyone would be shocked by it.


    ��Hehe, do you still want the Emerald Sea Divine Conch?��


    ��Still want it?��


    ��Mn? Still want it or not!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s dragon power was not powerful, but it was pure!


    Incomparably pure!


    Little Dragon Girl pummeled Ironcore onto the ground now, rubbing him on the ground over and over again.


    ��Don��t want! I don��t want it anymore! Really don��t want anymore! My grandaunt, quickly stop!�� Ironcore wailed.


    He was currently covered in injuries. Continuing to fight like this, even if he was made out of iron, he would be pummeled to death too.


    If not for his cultivation realm being much higher than Ye Yuan two people, he would have long died several times over.


    But, at this point, he had no other choice but to beg for mercy.

 Chapter 2661 - Persuasion

    ��Since you don��t want anymore, leave then!��


    Ye Yuan brought Little Dragon Girl along and left proudly.


    Everyone looked at these two people��s back view, their faces dumbfounded.


    On the ground, Ironcore was thrashed until he was wailing endlessly.


    Although the water dragons failed to kill him, it still made him suffer immensely.


    ��These two added together, they are simply the devil��s incarnate!�� Cui Tong exclaimed.


    Su Yi had a bitter smile on his face as he said, ��Isn��t that so? That power just now, probably only if City Lord His Excellency comes, can he suppress it, right? The others will only get pummeled.��


    ��That��s Deputy City Lord, Ironcore, a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven overlord. He was actually pummeled at will. Seriously ���� Sun Yunjing shook his head and said with a bitter smile.


    �� ��


    ��Big Brother, you��re really amazing! Aren��t you a human? Why is your bloodline power so pure?��


    ��I have half dragon race bloodline.��


    ��Big Brother, you look, we��re also considered comrade-in-arms who have fought side by side already. I beg you, don��t send me back, alright?��


    ��You heard it too. If you don��t go back, I��ll have to die.��


    ��But is there no other way? I finally managed to come out. So I really don��t want to go back!��


    ��Very sorry. There isn��t any way at all.��


    ��Didn��t you sign an origin divinity contract with my brother? Later, you return the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to him, then you help me snatch it back, alright?��


    �� ��


    Along the way, Little Dragon Girl turned into a chatterbox, blabbering away non-stop in Ye Yuan��s ear.


    It was just that at this time there was no longer the previous detest. She was looking at Ye Yuan with a worshiping face instead.


    In her eyes, she seemed to really treat Ye Yuan as her elder brother.


    Seeing Little Dragon Girl��s transformation, Ye Yuan sighed for a while too.


    This girl was simply a child who had not grown up and did not have any thoughts of good or evil. She only did things based on temporary likes and dislikes.


    Furthermore, Little Dragon Girl��s bloodline was pure and her strength was powerful. She had never met someone more powerful than her.


    Therefore, this little girl was incredibly haughty.


    But everything had its vanquisher. She was subdued by Ye Yuan.


    First was teaching a lesson, then it was revealing his pure bloodline.


    Hence, this little girl was thoroughly convinced.


    Seashore, the sea race army gathered.


    Ye Yuan left the huffy Little Dragon Girl and arrived.


    When he saw Little Dragon Girl, Dragon Son Huining was greatly surprised too.


    But very soon, his fury surged.


    ��Jingfei! You actually dared to run onto land! Do you know how worried Royal Father is about you?�� Huining said in a solemn voice.


    But Little Dragon Girl did not yield and made a funny face at him and said, ��It��s boring to death in the Dragon Palace! It��s boring to death in the ocean! I just want to come on land! What can you do to me?��


    ��You!�� Huining was furious.


    Ye Yuan watched at one side, but he was amused.


    Most likely, no one in the Thistle South Sea Region could subdue her.


    ��Alright, go back and settle the business between you brother and sister! This is the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, it��s returned to the original owner now! You take this stinking lass away too. The two of us are square.��


    Ye Yuan took the Emerald Sea Divine Conch out and directly threw it to Huining.


    Huining looked at Ye Yuan and even felt surprised in his heart.


    He knew how wild this younger sister of his was.


    Furthermore, with the Emerald Sea Divine Conch in possession, ordinary Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were not her match either.


    This guy could actually subdue his younger sister and bring her over.


    Looking at her appearance, his younger sister did not seem to be very resistant as well.


    ��Insolence! You dare to address the princess as stinking lass! Boy, do you really not know how the character death is written?�� When the black shark general heard Ye Yuan��s term of address, he was immediately furious.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered with him, turning right around and leaving.


    Behind Ye Yuan was the human army.


    Huining��s brows furrowed, and he flicked his sleeves grandly and said indifferently, ��Alright, withdraw the troops back to the capital!��


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    Little Dragon Girl suddenly formed a spell and gave a light cry, ��Come!��


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch was summoned and directly broke free from Huining��s hands and flew toward Little Dragon Girl.


    At the same time, her body was like an arrow that left the bow, fleeing like flying.


    ��Hehe, Big Brother, the origin divinity contract has already been completed, no need to die anymore! Now, I escaped by myself again. Bring me to play on land, alright?��


    In a blink, Little Dragon Girl already arrived beside Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not very surprised. If she did not run over, that would be surprising instead.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You play by yourself. I don��t have time to play with you.��


    Little Dragon Girl said huffily, ��Humph! Stinking big brother!��


    ��Jingfei! Come back for me! If you still don��t return, Royal Father will definitely kill his way to Heavenly South City!�� Huining��s furious voice came from behind.


    Little Dragon Girl made a funny face at him and said, ��That��s his business. What does it have to do with me?��


    Huining was angry, and then he turned toward Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice, ��Boy, you cheated! You and Jingfei this lass ganged up!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at a fool and could not help laughing as he said, ��Are you stupid? If I colluded with her, could I clear the origin divinity contract, this obstacle? You can��t control your own sister, but you come to find trouble with me. Where��s the logic here?��


    Huining��s old face turned red, knowing that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.


    Origin divinity contract was witnessed by Heavenly Dao.


    If Ye Yuan and Jingfei colluded, it could not hide from Heavenly Dao. The origin divinity contract would likewise be activated.


    Furthermore, with Jingfei this girl��s mischievousness, it was not surprising to do such a thing.


    ��This �� Little Brother, how about you and I work together to capture this girl?��


    After coming to his senses, Huining��s tone softened and he said, ��My Royal Father dotes on this girl immensely. Furthermore, you��ve seen this girl��s temperament too. If she goes onto land, God knows how much trouble she��ll cause!��


    The moment Little Dragon Girl heard, she secretly thought to herself that it was not good and instantly wanted to slip away.


    Except, it was already too late, Ye Yuan grabbed hold of her calf.


    ��Good big brother, I beg you, don��t let me go back, alright?�� Little Dragon Girl begged.


    Ye Yuan had an indifferent look and said coolly, ��I feel that what Dragon Son said makes sense. Uh �� if you don��t go back, there will probably be no peace on land for even a second. Moreover, your Royal Father will probably still launch a sea war for your sake. Therefore, you��d better go back obediently.��


    ��I don��t want to?��


    ��Mn?�� Ye Yuan shot a glare and Little Dragon Girl immediately withered up.


    ��Alright, alright, I��ll go back, okay? Stinking big brother, bad big brother!�� Little Dragon Girl lost her temper.


    She held Ye Yuan in great awe and veneration.


    Furthermore, that look just now was so fierce, just like when he spanked her buttocks before.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��You��d best go back obediently for me. If you dare to sneak back and get caught by me again, you know the outcome!��


    Ye Yuan glared, she subconsciously touched her buttocks and said, ��Alright, I got it!��


    Over on the seafolk��s side, there were stunned people all around, including Huining.


    This lawless and unbridled little girl actually feared Ye Yuan like a tiger!


    In the 100 years that this lass was born, the entire Thistle South Sea Region was turned upside down by her.


    Even Black Flood Dragon King could not do anything to her.


    Now, she was actually obeying a human youth��s words!


    ��However, you have to promise me something! Otherwise, I��ll still sneak out!�� As if afraid that Ye Yuan would refuse, Little Dragon Girl specifically emphasized it.


    Ye Yuan felt a headache too and said with a nod, ��Say it!��


    Little Dragon Girl��s initial ill-humor turned into joy and she said, ��I want you to come to Thistle South Dragon Palace to see me within a year! Otherwise, humph humph! My Royal Father will kill his way to Heavenly South City!��

 Chapter 2662 - How Awe-inspiring

    Little Dragon Girl left.


    But from Calm South City came Ironcore��s roar.


    ��Where��s that punk?! This city lord will definitely tear him to shreds! Tear him to shreds!��


    The dignified Heavenly South City��s deputy city lord was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy.


    Furthermore, it was even in front of everybody. His face could be said to be utterly lost.


    His hatred toward Ye Yuan already broke through the firmament.


    ��Is the army back?�� Ironcore asked his subordinate angrily.


    The subordinate hurriedly said, ��Replying City Lord, the army is still a hundred miles away from Calm South City. They will be back shortly.��


    Ironcore sneered and said, ��Very good! Go with me to receive the army! I want to see how that punk will still be rampant without the Emerald Sea Divine Conch! If I don��t smack him into meat paste today, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart!��


    The subordinate had a bitter face as he said, ��City Lord, Your Excellency, just earlier, Head Hall Master and Second Hall Master have already arrived in Calm South City. Currently, they have already gone out of the city to welcome the army!��


    Ironcore was taken aback for a moment and asked, ��Which Head Hall Master and Second Hall Master?��


    The subordinate said, ��It��s naturally Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Head Hall Master, Master Zhao Xun, and Second Hall Master, Master Wu Jian!��


    Ironcore had a bad feeling in his heart and said with a frown, ��Why are they here?��


    These two were Heavenly South��s alchemy path��s two titans, the strongest two people.


    In terms of status, they were not even beneath City Lord His Excellency!


    Now that the seafolk had already retreated, why would these two suddenly come?


    Sure enough, the subordinate also shook his head and said, ��This subordinate doesn��t know!��


    Ironcore snorted coldly and said, ��Who cares why they came! Could it be that they will still stop this city lord from killing a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum? Come!��


    �� ��


    ��Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Head Hall Master, Zhao Xun, offers greetings to Fellow Daoist Ye!��


    Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Second Hall Master, Wu Jian, offers greetings to Fellow Daoist Ye!��


    In front of the army formation, Heavenly South Pill Hall��s two big shots paid respects to Ye Yuan.


    This scene shocked everyone.


    Many of the warriors in the army had just arrived in Calm South City and did not know how big of a stir Ye Yuan caused.


    Of course, many people witnessed it with their own eyes, the scene of Ye Yuan and Little Dragon Girl two people thrashing Ironcore was still being dwelt upon with great relish until now.


    However, these two people��s identities were not what Ironcore could compare to.


    Although Ironcore was the deputy city lord, the city lord was an existence who was a tight fist in Heavenly South City.


    Ironcore was at most just a subordinate.


    Furthermore, the deputy city lords were not just Ironcore alone.


    But Zhao Xun��s status was virtually on par with the city lord��s status.


    Although Wu Jian��s status was slightly inferior, it was also about the same.


    One could say that the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses of the Land of Heavenly South had practically all received these two people��s favors before.


    But now, they actually bowed to Ye Yuan. It was equivalent to talking to Ye Yuan as a peer.


    How could they not be surprised at such a scene?


    ��I, Ye Yuan, pay respect to fellow daoists.�� Ye Yuan returned a bow neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    Ye Yuan was not surprised by these two people��s arrival.


    Jiang Li was Wu Jian��s disciple. He informed the Heavenly South Pill Hall about Ye Yuan��s matter before this.


    With a true grade heavenly stratum pill coming into being, how could these two dare to brush it off lightly?


    Hence, they hurried to Calm South City personally and went out of the city to greet.


    Zhao Xun smiled and said, ��This Zhao heard that the sea race launching a sea war this time, and it was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye who awed the Thistle South Royal Clan and saved Heavenly South��s countless living creatures! City Lord His Excellency specially instructed this Zhao to express thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye.��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Head Hall Master and City Lord are too courteous! It was merely a matter of lifting a hand, don��t mention it.��


    Zhao Xun said, ��Fellow Daoist Ye made great contributions and isn��t haughty. You indeed have the demeanor of a grandmaster! City Lord His Excellency originally wanted to come in person, but he has distinguished guests visiting over at his place and can��t spare time from his main duties to attend to this. He could only order us to do it on his behalf.��


    Wu Jian also smiled and said, ��My disciple Jiang Li has cultivated bitterly for many years and has never been able to break through. It��s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Ye��s true grade heavenly pill that he finally took this step! As his master, I must say a thank you on his behalf.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Two hall masters are too courteous! This place isn��t a place to talk, let��s go back to the city first?��


    Zhao Xun nodded and said with a smile, ��As it ought to be!��


    The army set off, everyone was extremely shocked.


    These two great hall masters were actually so courteous to a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, this was something that had never happened before.


    ��Just what background does this young man have? How could he cause such a grand line-up?��


    ��Two hall masters, even if facing peak Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, they will speak bluntly too. Yet, now they are actually so polite to a junior!��


    ��The two hall masters said that Master Jiang Li only broke through his cultivation realm after eating his heavenly pill. Being a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, what kind of heavenly pill did he refine to make a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum break through to Jade Sovereign Heaven? Simply inconceivable!��


    �� ��


    For a moment, Ye Yuan became incomparably mysterious in everyone��s eyes.


    ��Ye Yuan, come out for this city lord! Without the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, this city lord wants to see what you��ll use to be arrogant!��


    The person had yet to arrive, but the voice arrived first.


    Several figures came menacingly carrying a powerful pressure, arriving in no time flat.


    Ironcore saw Ye Yuan right away in the army.


    Because Ye Yuan was in the most conspicuous position.


    Beside Ye Yuan, there were Zhao Xun and Wu Jian.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Ironcore was extremely furious.


    Ignoring the two big shots, he directly slammed a palm over and was going to kill Ye Yuan.


    ��Punk, prepare to die!�� Ironcore bellowed angrily.


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian frowned at the same time and made a move at virtually the same time.


    Boom!


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, three grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven mighty experts exchanged a blow.


    Ironcore was strong, but Zhao Xun and Wu Jian were peak Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in the first place. Their strengths were not the slightest bit inferior to him.


    Two people attacking at the same time, how earth-shattering was it?


    Under the one move, Ironcore was directly blown away.


    ��Ironcore, you��re being insolent!�� Zhao Xun said angrily.


    Ironcore was also stunned by this unexpected scene.


    He was merely killing a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum; that was all. How did he provoke the two great hall masters to take action at the same time?


    In the army, many people used pitiable gazes to look at Ironcore.


    This deputy city lord was probably going to be embarrassed again today.


    ��This city lord has a big feud with that boy, so why did two hall masters stop me?�� Ironcore endured the churning of his divine sea as he said with displeasure.


    Zhao Xun sneered and said, ��Huhu, Ironcore, you really are showing your fangs! Attacking to kill someone in front of this hall master, looks like my Heavenly South Pill Hall is merely so-so in your eyes!��


    Ironcore��s pupils constricted, and he hurriedly said, ��Why does Head Hall Master say this? This boy is merely a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, but he dared to humiliate me in public! If this city lord doesn��t kill him, it��s hard to dispel the hatred in my heart! If I offended two hall masters, please be magnanimous! But I must kill this boy today!��


    Wu Jian said in a solemn voice, ��City Lord Ironcore is really awe-inspiring! Fellow Daoist Ye is my Heavenly South��s distinguished guest. The two of us were just about to invite him to Heavenly South Pill Hall to be a guest, but you want to kill our guest! Huhu, after going back, I want to ask Meng Frostwind; is this how he disciplines his subordinates?��


    Ironcore��s expression changed wildly, only to feel a chill run down his spine.


    Heavenly South��s distinguished guest!


    When did this boy become Heavenly South��s distinguished guest?


    Furthermore, the two great hall masters actually called Ye Yuan �� as fellow daoist!

 Chapter 2663 - : Yes, Take a Look at This!

    ��Huhu, are two hall masters making a joke? How can he, a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, possibly become your distinguished guest?��


    A smile that was even uglier than crying was squeezed out on Ironcore��s face.


    He was somewhat struck senseless.


    Everything was going well. So how did Ye Yuan become a distinguished guest with a sway of his body?


    ��Making a joke? Does this hall master look like I��m joking with you? Fellow Daoist Ye��s alchemy strength is exceedingly formidable. If not for my cultivation realm being much higher than him, this hall master wouldn��t have dared to call out ��Fellow Daoist�� either!�� Zhao Xun said in a solemn voice.


    He was furious right now.


    He did not know what enmity there was between Ironcore and Ye Yuan, but this guy was really rotten mud that could not support a wall.


    He was just thinking of ways to fawn on Ye Yuan and make Ye Yuan leave behind the refining method of true grade heavenly pills.


    In the end, this fool was good, shouting and wrangling about wanting to kill him the moment he saw him without saying anything.


    ��Humph! Unable to accomplish anything, but good at ruining things! Go back and find Meng Frostwind to receive punishment!�� Wu Jian shouted coldly.


    Ironcore��s expression was somewhat ugly.


    He was, at any rate, a deputy city lord too, a top figure of the Land of Heavenly South.


    Today, he was actually lectured in front of the army until he could not even lift his head.


    Unable to accomplish anything but good at ruining things? Was this used to lecture the deputy city lord?


    Yet, he was unable to flare up!


    These two in front of him, even City Lord Meng Frostwind dreaded them a little. They were not who he could afford to provoke.


    His expression flickered incessantly and he finally gritted his teeth and clasped his hands and said, ��Two hall masters, goodbye!��


    When he left, he even shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare, his eyes full of killing intent.


    Only after Ironcore left, was Zhao Xun akin to being relieved of a heavy burden as he said to Ye Yuan, ��Fellow Daoist Ye, I��ve incurred your ridicule.��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Looks like this City Lord Ironcore still wants to put me to death!��


    Zhao Xun hurriedly said, ��Fellow Daoist Ye, rest assured. After this Zhao returns, I��ll definitely inform Meng Frostwind about this matter and have him discipline Ironcore severely.��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he did not say anything.


    In reality, he was also planning how to take care of Ironcore.


    This guy was simply unreasonable.


    Now, he suffered such a big loss. With his character, how could it possibly be resolved here?


    On the way, Zhao Xun winked at Wu Jian.


    Wu Jian got the meaning and found an excuse to step aside and inquired from Cui Tong about the enmity between Ye Yuan and Ironcore.


    After inquiring clearly, Wu Jian was even angrier.


    ��Humph! Ironcore this fool almost ruined Heavenly South City��s important matter! This matter, we can��t spare him!�� Wu Jian said angrily.


    �� ��


    The party entered Calm South City and directly invited Ye Yuan to City Lord Manor.


    All the upper echelons were present.


    ��Fellow Daoist Ye, you and I are both people of the alchemy path. We��ll naturally make friends with alchemy. After this hall master heard the name of true grade, I truly found it difficult to eat and sleep. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye can enlighten me on it?�� Zhao Xun said with a smile.


    For people of the alchemy path, anyone that heard above ninth grade would probably lose composure.


    It was also precisely because their hearts itched unbearable that the two of them rushed to Calm South City in haste.


    It was for the sake of seeing the elegant demeanor of true grade.


    But Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Head Hall Master, it is not that this Ye is cherishing my own belonging that��s of little value, but can you let this Ye take a look at Head Hall Master and Second Hall Master��s strength?��


    When everyone heard that, they were all stunned.


    Everyone was watching you perform, but you appointed the two hall masters first?


    Zhao Xun��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Fellow Daoist Ye, what does this mean?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If Head Hall Master��s strength is sufficient, this Ye will naturally demonstrate to you what true grade is. But if Head Hall Master��s strength is lacking, even if I demonstrate it a thousand times, it will be to no avail too.��


    The words were polite, but the expressions of everyone present changed.


    Ye Yuan��s implicit meaning was that you, Head Hall Master, might not be qualified to witness my true grade!


    These words were arrogant enough!


    In the Land of Heavenly South, probably even City Lord Meng Frostwind would not dare to speak to Zhao Xun this way too!


    It was not that Ye Yuan was posturing, but since he wanted to develop his faction in the Land of Heavenly South, then he must be the master in the Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    He, Ye Yuan, did not need to be beneath others!


    On what basis?


    True grade!


    True grade heavenly pill was Ye Yuan��s trump card. How could it be easily revealed?


    Previously, he overwhelmed Jiang Li like a thunderbolt. It was for the sake of getting immediate results.


    However, it was enough for everyone to know about it!


    True grade absolutely could not be easily shown to others!


    That was a posturing act. If it was demonstrated too much, it would become worthless.


    Ye Yuan knew that Zhao Xun was not an ordinary person. But, he reckoned that regardless of whether it was Zhao Xun or Wu Jian, there was probably still a very large gap away from true grade.


    Even if they refined grade four heavenly pills to the realm of ninth grade, it was impossible to refine true grade too.


    If true grade was that easy to refine, it would not be true grade anymore.


    ��Huhu, Jian, since Fellow Daoist Ye wants to gauge our strength, then let��s present our incompetence?�� Zhao Xun was already holding some anger in these words.


    He could be courteous to Ye Yuan, but it did not mean that he did not have pride.


    Moreover, he was Heavenly South alchemy path��s number one person!


    It was number one person, but not number one genius!


    ��Mn, as it should be!�� Wu Jian also said in an unfriendly tone.


    They endured it for that legendary true grade!


    They planned to show off their strength to shut Ye Yuan up!


    Heavenly South��s number one person and Heavenly South��s number two person, these titles were not casually called in vain!


    ��Since Fellow Daoist Ye wants to see, then we��ll showcase our specialties!�� Zhao Xun said.


    ��No need. Two hall masters can each refine a grade two heavenly pill, and it��s enough.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    When Zhao Xun two people heard that, they got even angrier.


    Grade two heavenly pill!


    Wasn��t this being a joke?


    Making a grade four heavenly alchemist refine a grade two heavenly pill, could it measure the level of strength?


    This refinement would be upper ninth grade, what was there to look at?


    ��Huhu, then I wonder what kind of grade two heavenly pill Fellow Daoist Ye wants to see?�� Zhao Xun said with a cold smile.


    In the main hall, the temperature seemed to have dropped more than ten degrees out of the blue, making people shudder involuntarily.


    ��Anything. The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill works too. As long as you have the confidence, it will do,�� Ye Yuan seemingly could not feel the change in the atmosphere and still said indifferently.


    ��Come, men! Prepare the pill refinement!�� Zhao Xun said in a cold voice.


    Soon, the servants prepared all the things needed to refine the pills.


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian were each refining a kind of basic heavenly pill.


    With a resentment that billowed to the sky, the two started refining the pill.


    Peak grade four super heavenly alchemists refining grade two basic heavenly pills, it was naturally a cinch.


    The entire refinement process naturally attracted a series of amazed acclaims.


    With the two of them taking action, this was completely not what those people during the Nine Cities Heavenly Pill Summit could compare to.


    Even the strongest Jiang Li was like a child in front of the two.


    When the heavenly pills came out of the furnace, without the least bit of surprise, the two people��s heavenly pills were both above ninth grade.


    Zhao Xun looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��I wonder if what the two of us refined can still enter Fellow Daoist Ye��s arcane sights?��


    Ye Yuan did not answer. He just smiled slightly, stood up, and walked toward the medicine cauldron.


    Under everyone��s blank gazes, Ye Yuan started refining.


    It was still a grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, same as Zhao Xun.


    In less than an hour, the refinement was completed.


    Without the slightest suspense, upper ninth grade!


    ��Huhu, after messing around for the greater part of the day, Fellow Daoist Ye is letting us look at this?�� Zhao Xun said with a sneer.


    ��Yes, take a look at this!��


    Ye Yuan put his Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and Zhao Xun��s Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill onto two Cloud Mount Mother Stones respectively.


    Ye Yuan��s scale soared all the way to ninth grade perfection!

 Chapter 2664 - Harder Than Ascending to Heaven!

    ��It��s full! It actually �� maxed out!��


    ��How is this possible? There��s actually someone who can achieve Cloud Mount Mother Stone max score!��


    ��What kind of realm can achieve this level!��


    �� ��


    Including Zhao Xun and Wu Jian, everyone in the main hall was inexplicably shocked.


    Compared to Ye Yuan��s ninth grade perfection, although Zhao Xun and Wu Jian were upper ninth grade two, they were still lacking that bit of level of skill.


    ��Two hall masters, if you feel that you can achieve ninth grade perfection, how about trying again? Forget about grade two heavenly pills; if you seriously can��t, the two of you can refine grade one heavenly pills too! As long as you can reach ninth grade perfection, I��ll demonstrate true grade for everyone to see,�� Ye Yuan just said with a light smile.


    Zhao Xun��s brows furrowed slightly and he said with a cold snort, ��This hall master has refined countless pills. I really don��t believe that I can��t cross this distance of half a step!��


    Wu Jian also said, ��Ninth grade perfection is it? Huhu, what can it show? We can��t refine true grade. Could it be that we can��t even refine ninth grade perfection too?��


    To alchemy path powerhouses like Zhao Xun, refining upper ninth grade was nothing.


    It was just that, they had never seriously researched how to reach ninth grade perfection before.


    Reaching upper ninth grade, there was actually little significance for heavenly pills to improve a step further.


    In terms of medicinal efficacy alone, ninth grade perfection was better than upper ninth grade, but the benefits were limited.


    And reaching ninth grade perfection required expending far too much effort. It was naturally somewhat not worth the gain.


    However, Zhao Xun two people were already peak grade four mighty experts.


    In their view, ninth grade perfection was nothing.


    Perhaps there was some difficulty in refining grade four heavenly pills, but for grade two heavenly pills, as long as they were serious, they could always achieve it.


    The two who were unconvinced made a move again.


    An hour later, Zhao Xun two people stared at the Cloud Mount Mother Stone, their expressions being very ugly.


    This time, they were still a tiny bit short of ninth grade perfection!


    ��Again!��


    How arrogant at heart and haughty in manner were these two? How could they succumb at ninth grade this level?


    It was just that, they made a move three times in a row, but each time, it always fell short by a tiny bit!


    Although their scales were upper ninth grade each time, they would fluctuate up and down.


    There was always that bit of level of attainment that was lacking from ninth grade perfection.


    The big shots in the main hall were all stunned.


    They also thought that with the two great hall masters�� peak grade four heavenly alchemist strength, wouldn��t refining ninth grade perfection be easily accomplished?


    Yet, they just could not cross this distance of half a step!


    ��Could it be that this ninth grade perfection is just so hard?�� Sun Yunjing said with a frown.


    By the side, Jiang Li nodded and said, ��More than just hard! It��s simply harder than ascending to heaven! I asked Master Ye for advice before. He made me refine ninth grade perfection before. I attempted grade one heavenly pills no less than several hundred times and didn��t succeed once!��


    Sun Yunjing almost jumped up and said in surprise, ��What?! This �� How is this possible?��


    Jiang Li smiled bitterly and said, ��There��s nothing impossible. However, the upper ninth grade that I refined is still significantly worse compared to Head Hall Master and Master! However, even if they are very formidable, I reckon that even if they change to grade one heavenly pills, they still can��t reach ninth grade perfection!��


    The big shots present were all shocked speechless.


    ��Change to grade one heavenly pills!�� Sure enough, at this time, Zhao Xun suddenly spoke up.


    Everyone was shocked in their hearts, Head Hall Master gave up!


    Clearly, he felt that grade two heavenly pills were hopeless!


    But was it really as Jiang Li said? Even grade one heavenly pills could not reach ninth grade perfection either?


    Might as well, Zhao Xun directly chose the simplest grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    Grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill could be said to be the basic of the basics, being the most simple heavenly pill already.


    ��If even this can��t reach ninth grade perfection, this hall master won��t mention about true grade again!�� Zhao Xun said with a cold snort.


    Everyone exchanged glances. Ye Yuan just brushed it off with a smile.


    Ninth grade extreme could not be achieved with just a high cultivation realm.


    Even if you could refine grade five heavenly pills, grade six heavenly pills, you might not be able to reach ninth grade perfection when refining grade one heavenly pills too.


    To achieve ninth grade perfection, only one word was needed; that was ��perfection��!


    During the refinement process, there could not be the slightest flaws.


    Even if there was the slightest flaw, it would result in the refinement to fail.


    But it was easy to talk about it; doing it was as hard as ascending to heaven!


    This was like drawing a circle, no matter how round you drew it, looking completely flawless, it was also impossible to draw a 100% circle.


    It could be said that a true circle only existed in theory.


    And to reach ninth grade perfection was to turn this theory into reality!


    How great the difficulty involved could be imagined.


    One should not look at how the quality of Zhao Xun��s heavenly pills were all extremely high. There was still quite a distance away from perfection this step.


    It was also precisely because of this gap that prevented him from reaching perfection.


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian��s refinement looked flawless and should have reached ninth grade perfection in theory.


    But actually, they were like drawing circles.


    It seemed to be round and full, a perfect circle.


    However, there were still flaws!


    This step was separated by a hair��s breadth but was immensely difficult.


    Changing to grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the two people��s refinement went even smoother.


    In almost less than a quarter of an hour, a heavenly pill emerged for the furnace.


    The two people put it on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone in haste, while the others had nervous looks on their faces, anticipating the final result.


    The scale rose rapidly and reached upper ninth grade very quickly, rushing towards ninth grade perfection.


    ��Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge for me!��


    Even if Zhao Xun��s status was venerated and he was a leviathan of a region, his face was also reddened to the ears currently; his jaws clenched tightly.


    Sure enough, with the grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, the two people��s strength was even fiercer!


    The scale had clearly surpassed the grade two Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian both had excited expressions. They saw hope.


    There was only a tiny gap from maxing out the scale!


    ��Rush up! Charge up for me!�� Zhao Xun gritted his teeth and said.


    The other powerhouses in the main hall were also secretly cheering them on.


    But the results turned out contrary to their expectations.


    The scale stopped at the last trace.


    Not perfect!


    Zhao Xun looked at the Cloud Mount Mother Stone with a look of abject as he said, ��How �� How could this be?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Head Hall Master, I know that you have unwillingness in your heart. You can continue.��


    Zhao Xun suddenly turned his head, staring right at Ye Yuan, his two eyes blood-red.


    Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, ��Okay, again!��


    However, no matter how hard he worked, the grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was always missing that tiny bit away from the true ninth grade perfection from start to end.


    This tiny gap was as far as an ant looking at Heavenly Dao.


    No matter how you jumped, you could not touch the sky too!


    Finally, Zhao Xun plopped down onto the ground, his face full of puzzlement as he murmured, ��Why? Why is it always missing by a tiny bit? Just what��s lacking?��


    He gave up!


    He examined his own conscience, he had grasped every detail of the pill refinement.


    However, the final result was always unsatisfactory.


    He seriously could not figure out where the problem lied.


    When Jiang Li saw this scene, he could not help shaking his head as he sighed and said, ��I didn��t expect that Head Hall Master��s reaction would be exactly the same as mine! This feeling of setback is really indescribable!��

 Chapter 2665 - Subduing Big Shots!

    ��Isn��t that so! The exalted Head Hall Master, being a peak grade four heavenly alchemist, actually can��t even perfect a grade one heavenly pill! If it were before, no one would question anything. After all, nobody could do it as well. But now, Ye Yuan has truly achieved it. This is simply a huge irony to the two hall masters!�� Cui Tong similarly shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Without comparison, there would be no harm


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian came for the true grade. In the end, they did not get to see the true grade and were unable to even perfect grade one heavenly pills.


    This was too ironic.


    ��I wonder what the two hall masters think?�� Ye Yuan said with a faint smile.


    Zhao Xun looked at Ye Yuan with some disappointment and said with a bitter smile, ��Looks like Fellow Daoist Ye isn��t planning on letting us see true grade!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Nay! Two hall masters misunderstood! It��s not that this Ye is intentionally making things difficult, but that to reach the realm of true grade, one must first reach ninth grade perfection. If one can��t even accomplish this step, even if I demonstrate it to you a hundred times, a thousand times, you can��t possibly comprehend it too!��


    The words made everyone��s hearts turn cold.


    It turned out that if you wanted to reach the realm of true grade, ninth grade perfection was the threshold!


    Zhao Xun had a look of surprise on his face and said with a bitter smile, ��If it were before, this hall master would definitely think that Fellow Daoist Ye is joking. But, only after putting it into practice myself, does this hall master know that wanting to reach ninth grade perfection is truly not easy!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If true grade was so easy to achieve, it also wouldn��t have gone extinct in the Land of Heavenly South. In reality, even if you reach ninth grade perfection, there��s still 108,000 miles away from the realm of true grade! This step is probably not much easier than breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.��


    The expressions of Zhao Xun and the rest changed, all revealing a look of astonishment.


    Ye Yuan was talking about Saint Sovereign Heaven and not Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    In reality, entering Sovereign Realm from Sublime Realm was as difficult as ascending to heaven in the first place.


    Otherwise, how could a genius like Jiang Li be pacing back and forth in front of the threshold for a long time?


    As for Saint Sovereign Heaven, it was even hair-raisingly difficult!


    Disregarding the Land of Heavenly South, even on the entire Rainclear Continent, how many Saint Sovereign Heavens were there?


    This kind of difficulty simply made people despair!


    However, everyone��s faces revealed disbelieving looks.


    If it was so difficult, how did you break through?


    Ye Yuan naturally saw through their skepticism. It was just that he was indifferent.


    After they broke through to ninth grade perfection, they would naturally know how terrifying true grade was.


    If Ye Yuan did not encounter an opponent like Cang Yongning, he would really need god knows how many years to take this step.


    Even so, Ye Yuan only finally reached true grade after fighting fiercely for several months.


    With Ye Yuan��s talent, this was simply unimaginable.


    ��Fellow Daoist Ye, this hall master wants to invite you to assume the post of Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Third Hall Master! In Heavenly South Pill Hall, your status will be the same as this hall master and Jian��s, wonder how you feel about it?�� Zhao Xun suddenly said.


    The moment these words came out, everyone was shocked.


    This was a great courtesy to Ye Yuan.


    Although they all knew that Ye Yuan was an extremely monstrous person, he was just a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum after all.


    Assuming the post of third hall master all of a sudden, it could be said to be suddenly becoming an existence that was not inferior to Heavenly South City Lord!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Since Head Hall Master has such sincerity, this Ye will naturally comply with your wishes.��


    The moment Zhao Xun heard, he could not help being overjoyed!


    �� ��


    The news of Heavenly South Pill Hall welcoming a new hall master spread in Heavenly South City very quickly.


    And in order to welcome Ye Yuan, Zhao Zhao planned to hold a grand welcoming ceremony for him and announce it to the entire Heavenly South.


    Similar treatment was only given last time when Wu Jian ascended to peak grade four heavenly alchemist back then.


    For some time, Heavenly South City was in a stir.


    However, after Ye Yuan arrived in Heavenly South City, he was very low-key.


    It was not that he was intentionally keeping a low profile, but that Zhao Xun and Wu Jian two people came to him every day to seek advice.


    Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was low, his horizons were much further than the two.


    Coupled with the contrast when he was battling in alchemy with Cang Yongning, the pros of cons during the process of a heavenly alchemist��s pill refinement could be seen even more clearly.


    In reality, when testing the two in Calm South City back then, Ye Yuan had long already taken it into his eyes.


    Ye Yuan did not hoard anything and imparted the basic cultivation method to the two people, and dissected their questions about the process of pill refinement little by little.


    In merely half a month��s time, these two people became enlightened at once.


    It was also even more because of so, that they finally understood that wanting to reach ninth grade perfection was a colossal project and could not be achieved in a short time.


    Firstly, they had to rebuild their foundations.


    Secondly, they had to make good omissions and deficiencies.


    Only then were they capable of reaching ninth grade perfection!


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian��s alchemy path foundation could be rated as solid.


    It was absolutely no coincidence to be able to reach this step.


    But, compared to the likes of Ye Yuan and Cang Yongning, the disparity was too great.


    Under Ye Yuan��s guidance, these two people could practically perceive their improvement every day.


    ��I didn��t expect that the millimeter of difference between upper ninth grade and ninth grade perfection is akin to heaven and earth! This hall master��s ripe old age has really been an utter waste of living!�� Zhao Xun suddenly said to Ye Yuan with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The path of alchemy is heterogeneous and vast, like a skyscraper. If the foundation isn��t solid, it will be akin to an ivory tower. The taller the tower, the more dangerous it is!��


    Zhao Xun nodded and said, ��What Fellow Daoist Ye said is extremely right! These few days, although this hall master has been studying grade one and two basic heavenly pills, I feel that the strength of grade four heavenly pills has been improving too. Only then did I understand that it turns out when I was cultivating back then, there were still so many areas that I missed out! Fellow Daoist Ye, if not for your cultivation realm being too low, this hall master will probably cause a shock in Heavenly South. This Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Head Hall Master should be assumed by you!��


    Actually, Zhao Xun had long already treated Ye Yuan as half a teacher in his heart.


    It was just that due to cultivation realm and status, he could not say it explicitly.


    But he was very humble in front of Ye Yuan.


    Heavenly alchemists were a bunch of fanatics who were the most convinced by the strong who were capable.


    Ye Yuan had long already used his strength to conquer these two great hall masters.


    But currently, there were indeed undercurrents surging in Heavenly South City.


    Heavenly South City was the capital city of the Land of Heavenly South. It occupied a vast area and there were many experts in the city. The factions were also complicated and confusing.


    Currently, inside a secret residence somewhere in Heavenly South, a group of heavyweights was currently gathering.


    ��Family Head Min, this position of third hall master should have originally been yours. In the end, now, a puny little grade two heavenly alchemist climbed on top of your Min Family��s head,�� Deputy City Lord Ironcore said.


    Min Nanshan, from one of Heavenly South City��s three great alchemy families, was the Min Family��s family head.


    Heavenly South City had three great alchemy families whose strength was incomparably powerful.


    The appearance of Heavenly South Pill Hall��s third hall master meant that Heavenly South City��s situation henceforth would change. It was not up to these family heads to not pay attention to it.


    Min Nanshan looked at Ironcore and said with a cold smile, ��Deputy City Lord Ironcore, you gathering the few of us families here is no more than to make use of us to avenge your enmity! Could it be that the few of us are decrepit and muddle-headed until we can��t even see this?��


    But Ironcore did not care and said with a smile, ��But didn��t you guys come too? Now, our interests are the same; that is that we can��t let this boy become the third hall master!��

 Chapter 2666 - Joining Forces to Boycott

    ��Huhu, Deputy City Lord Ironcore must be joking! That��s true grade heavenly pill. I heard that Jiang Li only consumed a grade two true grade heavenly pill, and as a result, he stepped into the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven in one stroke! This news shouldn��t be fake, right?�� Min Nanshan said with a deep meaning.


    Ironcore nodded and said, ��It��s true! It��s just that do you guys get a share of the true grade heavenly pill?��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the three great family heads changed.


    These three families possessed a pivotal position in Heavenly South City at present.


    The three great family heads were all grade four heavenly alchemists too. They were just slightly inferior compared to the two great hall masters.


    Even Zhao Xun relied greatly on the three great families too.


    And what Ironcore said was also precisely what they were most worried about.


    ��After Head Hall Master and Second Hall Master came back, you guys have seen it too, they have remained in closed-seclusion all along. With their strength, breaking through to the realm of true grade isn��t hard. When the time comes, by relying on true grade, the two hall masters�� statuses will be transcendent. At that time, what will it still have to do with your three great families?�� Ironcore said with a sneer.


    True grade, it was absolutely a major killing tool!


    Jiang Li��s breakthrough shocked everyone.


    The crux was that what let him break through was a grade two heavenly pill.


    This was impressive!


    Ironcore��s words made the faces of the three great family heads change abruptly.


    Not that they could not figure out this layer, it was just that they were not quite willing to believe.


    After all, in Heavenly South Pill Hall, the status of the three great families�� was very important.


    But just as Ironcore said, if the two hall masters grasped the true grade secret art and used it to command Heavenly South henceforth, who could dare to not follow?


    Min Nanshan drew a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, ��Deputy City Lord Ironcore, what should we do?��


    Ironcore��s face revealed a knowing smile.


    �� ��


    On this day, Heavenly South Pill Hall was unprecedentedly grand.


    The various major cities under the jurisdiction of Heavenly South City all sent prominent powerhouses over.


    In the Land of Heavenly South, the status of Heavenly South Pill Hall had always been transcendent.


    The deterrent power of heavenly alchemists was this strong.


    Of course, there were many people who came for this mystical true grade.


    ��Haha, congratulations to Master Ye for becoming Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Third Hall Master! My Water Billow City feels honored!�� When Sun Yunjing saw Ye Yuan, he immediately cupped his fists and said.


    By the side, Su Yi��s expression was very ugly as he said in a solemn voice, ��What does Master Ye being promoted to Third Hall Master have to do with your Water Billow City? He came from our Calm South City. Even if it��s feeling honored, it��s our Calm South City too!��


    Sun Yunjing did not care either and laughed loudly as he said, ��Heh heh, this city lord and Master Ye, that��s making friends after a fight!��


    Su Yi��s face turned black and he was just about to refute, but Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Alright, two city lords, this Ye has received your kind intentions.��


    Ye Yuan already spoke up. It was naturally not convenient for Su Yi to flare up.


    By the side, Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun also came up to offer greetings.


    There were too many people at this time. Ye Yuan did not have time to talk more and just had them go in and sit down.


    ��Min Family��s Family Head, Min Nanshan has arrived!��


    ��Song Family��s Family Head, Song Tianyang has arrived!��


    ��Yun Family��s Family Head, Yun Baiyu has arrived!��


    After these few shouts, everyone��s faces changed.


    Even Zhao Xun and Wu Jian frowned too.


    Very clearly, they smelled a different smell.


    ��Normally, these three great families don��t care about each other. Why did they suddenly come together today?��


    ��Min Family Head has worked hard for many years in order to fight for this title of Third Hall master. But now, there��s completely no hope anymore!��


    ��The arrivals are not friendly! There��s probably a show to watch!��


    �� ��


    All those present were Heavenly South��s heavyweight class figures.


    Just the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were a whole bunch.


    Each and every one of these people was crafty and shrewd. How could they not know Heavenly South Pill Hall��s underhanded activities?


    With Ye Yuan dropping out of thin air, the biggest impact was the three major families.


    If they did not take some measures, that would be weird!


    ��Min Nanshan offers greetings to Head Hall Master, Second Hall Master!��


    ��Song Tianyang offers greetings to the two hall masters!��


    ��Yun Baiyu offers greetings to the two hall masters!��


    The three people came to the front, cupped their fists, and bowed to the two hall masters, directly regarding Ye Yuan who was by the side as air.


    Zhao Xun��s brows furrowed slightly, but he could not blow his top.


    He was just about to introduce Ye Yuan but saw the three people walk straight into the venue.


    Everyone exchanged glances; what an opening gambit!


    This grand gathering today was hosted for Third Hall Master, Ye Yuan. In the end, they did not even pay attention to Third Hall Master.


    Zhao Xun was a little awkward and said to Ye Yuan, ��Ye Yuan, I��ll definitely teach these three fellows a lesson later!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Just a small matter. Head Hall Master doesn��t need to take it to heart.��


    Zhao Xun was a little surprised in his heart. He discovered that Ye Yuan was actually placid without any waves.


    This atmosphere was absolutely not feigned.


    Ye Yuan had such terrifying talent at a young age. To actually be able to have this temperament, it was truly terrifying!


    For any genius, which one was not arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, unable to stomach anything that was offensive to the eye?


    Yet, Ye Yuan was not!


    After some small talk, the banquet officially began.


    Zhao Xun raised his wine cup and said loudly, ��Today, this Zhao introduces to everyone a young genius! Although he has just arrived, he has already made monumental contributions to Heavenly South! Only after seeing him does this Zhao know that I��m a frog at the bottom of a well! You all don��t need to suspect anything. It isn��t this Zhao self-effacing either, if he��s a grade four heavenly alchemist right now, this hall master��s position of head hall master will immediately be given up with both hands!��


    ��It was gracious of Fellow Daoist Ye to not reject and willingly join my Heavenly South Pill Hall! From today onwards, he��s my Heavenly South Pill Hall��s ����


    ��Head Hall Master!��


    Right at this time, Min Nanshan suddenly stood up, interrupting Zhao Xun��s words.


    Immediately, everyone��s gaze was attracted by him.


    Zhao Xun��s brows furrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, ��Min Nanshan, what are you trying to do?��


    Min Nanshan said coolly, ��This Min feels that the two hall masters�� decision is too hasty!��


    ��Impudent! When is it your turn to come and butt into what this hall master does?�� Zhao Xun shouted coldly.


    But Min Nanshan was not afraid in the slightest and said coolly, ��This boy is just a grade two heavenly alchemist, what right does he have to sit on the throne of Third Hall Master? If he becomes Third Hall Master, then where will we, these grade four heavenly alchemists, go?��


    Zhao Xun smiled coldly and said, ��Based on that he can refine true grade heavenly pills!��


    Min Nanshan smiled and said, ��Head Hall Master, none of us has seen before the true grade heavenly pill! You said that he made monumental contributions to the Land of Heavenly South, I have no objections. But Heavenly South is Heavenly South. Heavenly South Pill Hall is Heavenly South Pill Hall. He has yet to make the smallest contribution but became Third Hall Master, on what basis?��


    ��That��s right! Head Hall Master, our Song Family feels that it��s not appropriate as well!�� At this time, Song Tianyang also came forward and supported Min Nanshan ardently.


    Yun Baiyu also said, ��Head Hall Master, how much contribution has the three of us major families made for the Heavenly South Pill Hall? Now, a measly little grade two heavenly alchemist wants to ride on top of our heads?��


    Zhao Xun��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He completely did not expect that the three great families�� reaction was actually so fierce.


    Furthermore, with the three great families taking the lead, many families also expressed objection. This somewhat made it even harder for them to dismount the tiger��s back after getting on it.


    In the crowd, Ironcore looked at Ye Yuan with a broad smile, full of mockery.


    ��Heh heh, brat, you��re still a little inexperienced to fight with this city lord! This is just the beginning. After chasing you out of Heavenly South City, this city lord will send you on your way!�� Ironcore sneered coldly in his heart.

 Chapter 2667 - Cutting the Ground on Which One Stood on!

    ��A grade two heavenly alchemist becoming Third Hall Master, our Zhao Family won��t accept it!��


    ��Yeah, what right does a junior have to ride on top of our heads?��


    ��So what if true grade heavenly pill? Something that we can��t see or touch, who are you bluffing!��


    �� ��


    Families that depended on the three great families also expressed objections one after another. The scene appeared very chaotic.


    Heavenly South Pill Hall��s situation was somewhat different from City Lord Manor there.


    City Lord Meng Frostwind��s strength already reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, overpowering all heroes. No one dared to resist.


    Although Meng Frostwind relied rather heavily on Zhao Xun and Wu Jian, the experts within Heavenly South Pill Hall were plentiful as clouds.


    Alchemy was not like martial arts; either you die or I perish.


    The two hall masters�� strength was indeed stronger than everyone. But the three great family heads�� strengths were similarly extremely strong.


    Hence, they held quite heavy authority.


    The three great families practically possessed 40% of Heavenly South Pill Hall��s strength.


    Although this ratio was not high, it was sufficient to show one��s attitude.


    Zhao Xun and Wu Jian really had a feeling like they had incredibly bad luck.


    They did not expect that they were actually forced to abdicate!


    ��Min Nanshan, are you rebelling?�� Zhao Xun said furiously.


    Min Nanshan still said coolly, ��Head Hall Master, our three great families are subordinates of Heavenly South Pill Hall. Examining our consciousness, we respect the two hall masters very much as well. Our action is just for the sake of maintaining Heavenly South��s stability! No matter from which area you look at, this boy doesn��t have the qualifications to be Third Hall Master either!��


    Song Tianyang also said, ��This boy has unknown origins. Who knows whether or not he��s harboring ill intent or not?��


    Zhao Xun��s face fell, and he said in a cold voice, ��If this hall master insists that he must be Third Hall Master?��


    Min Nanshan��s expression did not change, and he said coolly, ��Then our three great families will withdraw from Heavenly South Pill Hall and make a fresh start elsewhere! I reckon that with our three families�� strength, City Lord His Excellency won��t say anything either!��


    Murmur!


    The audience was in an uproar!


    This move was really cutting the ground on which one stood on!


    The moment the three great families withdrew, it would be tantamount to bringing away half of Heavenly South Pill Hall��s power.


    This power was sufficient to stand up to Heavenly South Pill Hall as an equal already.


    This move was a major killing tool!


    Zhao Xun also did not expect that Min Nanshan would be so decisive.


    Normally, these three great families schemed against each other. He, this Head Hall Master, was seated firmly on the fishing platform, intervening in the situation. There were not too many disagreements.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s appearance made these three families fasten up together all at once.


    This was rather difficult to deal with.


    Zhao Xun could not help looking toward Ye Yuan, his expression seemingly full of apologies.


    He also did not expect that things would play out like this.


    Rather, it was the latter who had a calm look, as if all these had nothing to do with him.


    Suddenly, Ironcore opened his mouth and said, ��Two hall masters and family heads, everyone is a part of Heavenly South Pill Hall. Why is there a need to fall out so badly? This Ironcore is incapable, but I have a solution. Wonder if everyone is interested in hearing it?��


    Seeing Ironcore open his mouth, Zhao Xun felt abhorred without rhyme or reason.


    He originally did not have any conflicts with Ironcore. But the thing that Ironcore had done in Calm South City had indeed disgusted him.


    It was just that at this time, he was currently in a difficult position. When Ironcore suddenly said this, he still wanted to hear it.


    ��Say it!�� Zhao Xun said in a solemn voice.


    Ironcore smiled and said, ��Actually, the three great families have indeed made great contributions to Heavenly South these few years. Especially Family Head Min, he has tremendous strength and is steady and composed. If let him be this Third Hall Master, I believe that none of the people present will say anything. As for this boy, he��s not a part of Heavenly South to begin with. It��s best to have him get lost.��


    Zhao Xun��s gaze turned dark, thinking to himself that he must have been blinded by obsession.


    How could an ivory tusk come out of a dog��s mouth?


    Making Min Nanshan be Third Hall Master and chasing Ye Yuan away, to think that this guy could say that!


    Zhao Xun sneered and said, ��This is the method that you��re talking about? Huhu, what qualifications does Min Nanshan have to assume the position of Third Hall Master? After his strength reaches peak grade four heavenly alchemist, we can come and talk again!��


    A faint smile still hung on Ironcore��s face.


    When Zhao Xun saw this scene, he could not help feeling alarmed.


    ��Head Hall Master, this Min is untalented, but I gained some enlightenment a while back and already broke through to peak grade four heavenly alchemist not long ago! This Mystic Moon Iceheart Pill was just refined before this Min came.��


    As he said, Min Nanshan took a heavenly pill out.


    When Zhao Xun saw this heavenly pill, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    This heavenly pill��s residual heat had yet to dissipate. Clearly, it was just refined successfully not long ago!


    The heavyweights present were all incredibly shocked.


    ��Mystic Moon Iceheart Pill, that��s a grade four heavenly imperial pill! Family Head Min really broke through!��


    ��Impressive! Didn��t expect that Family Head Min actually broke through the bottleneck without a sound!��


    ��With this, probably even Head Hall Master is powerless to turn the tables already! Once the three great families break away, they will likely be able to immediately stand up to Heavenly South Pill Hall as an equal!��


    �� ��


    Min Nanshan showing this hand was truly a major killing tool, stunning everyone.


    The hallmark of a peak grade four heavenly alchemist was being able to refine heavenly imperial pills!


    In this Land of Heavenly South, apart from Zhao Xun and Wu Jian, no one could do it.


    Hence, that was how they could become hall masters!


    But now, Min Nanshan had likewise done it!


    With this, it really became difficult to deal with!


    Zhao Xun understood now that these guys were simply long prepared to launch an attack during this banquet.


    He also did not expect that making Ye Yuan be Third Hall Master would actually cause such a mighty uproar.


    Min Nanshan said coolly, ��Two hall masters, this Min wonders if I have the qualifications to be Third Hall Master or not?��


    The three great families�� affiliated families, especially the Min Family��s subsidiaries, were all extremely excited.


    Family Head Min breaking through was really a piece of massive good news to him!


    ��Supporting Family Head Min to assume the position of Third Hall Master!��


    ��Two hall masters, you mustn��t make everyone��s heart turn cold!��


    ��What capability does this boy have, to dare serve as Third Hall Master?��


    �� ��


    To the vast majority of the people, a true grade heavenly pill was too far beyond reach.


    They knew that although true grade heavenly pills were good, these pills had nothing to do with them.


    Firstly, true grade heavenly pills would definitely be strictly controlled by the two hall masters.


    Secondly, even if true grade heavenly pills could be released, the price would also not be what they could bear.


    They all heard that Jiang Li spent 68 million heavenly crystals in order to obtain that true grade heavenly pill!


    To ordinary martial artists, this was simply not what they could afford to spend.


    Ironcore had a pleased look and looked toward Ye Yuan as he said, ��Boy, you still have the cheek to stand there? This place is Heavenly South people��s Heavenly South. Scram back to wherever you came from!��


    The general trend had already formed, even the two hall masters were powerless to turn the tables too.


    In his view, Ye Yuan getting kicked out was already a certainty!


    Ye Yuan looked at Ironcore and said with a smile, ��After a long time, you finally jumped out! Uh, this move of yours is indeed played beautifully. It��s just that it��s too dumb!��


    Ironcore smiled coldly and said, ��Brat, you��re still boasting shamelessly at this point? You harbor ill intent and sowed discord in Heavenly South Pill Hall! Come, men! Take this boy down!��


    ��Who dares!�� Zhao Xun shouted coldly. The expressions of those guards changed and sure enough. They did not dare to move anymore.


    After all, it was Head Hall Master!


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and walked down the platform with a smile.

 Chapter 2668 - No Amount of Money Can Buy My Joy!

    ��M-Master Ye?��


    Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun were somewhat stupefied, not knowing why Ye Yuan was walking toward them at this time.


    In this place, they were just a pair of unbelievably insignificant minor characters.


    But Ye Yuan had indeed walked in front of them.


    ��I heard that the two of you got engaged. This �� is a gift that I prepared for the two of you. Peiyun this girl is pretty good. You mustn��t let her down in the future!�� Ye Yuan handed over two wooden boxes with a smile.


    ��Ah? T-Thank you, Master Ye!�� Huang Haoyan received the wooden box with a blank face, uncertain what it meant.


    Ye Yuan smiled. Pointing at the wooden box, he said smilingly, ��The two of you, use this gift right now. After leaving this place, you guys probably won��t have a chance to use it anymore!��


    Huang Haoyan still had a blank look, but Su Peiyun was already trembling from excitement!


    Clearly, she already guessed what was in this wooden box.


    She smacked the back of Huang Haoyan��s head and had a look of anger from his failure to live up to expectations, and said, ��You��re stupid as hell! This is a massive lucky chance! Hurry up and open it! It��s a true grade heavenly pill stored inside here!��


    Huang Haoyan��s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    A true grade heavenly pill was something that he did not even dare to think about.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually gave it to him for free?


    Opening the wooden box to take a look, it was indeed two crystal clear heavenly pills.


    Regardless of whether it was Zhao Xun or Min Nanshan, the pupils of the alchemy powerhouses currently present constricted.


    ��This �� This is the Greater Sublime Creation Pill! True grade �� heavenly imperial pill!�� Min Nanshan��s words were full of astonishment.


    Although he had not seen a true grade heavenly pill before, the Great Dao accumulations seeping out of it was clear at a glance to him.


    What was even scarier was that this was actually a heavenly imperial pill!


    Jiang Li relied on a true grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill and broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Then, how strong was the medicinal effect of a true grade heavenly imperial pill?


    In virtually an instant, many people in the banquet had both eyes turn blood-red.


    Their eyes were full of greed.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Finally, someone could not resist making a move!


    However, a streak of white light flashed past. The few people who made a move were directly blasted into residue!


    Zhao Xun arrived in front of Huang Haoyan two people with a leap and said in a solemn voice, ��This hall master wants to see who dares to act rashly! The two of you refine the heavenly pills. This hall master will stand guard over you guys!��


    At this time, Head Hall Master Zhao Xun��s deterrent power was finally exhibited!


    Min Nanshan and the rest of the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were itching for a try at this time too.


    But, seeing Zhao Xun demonstrate his power, they still did not take action sensibly.


    Zhao Xun��s prestige in Heavenly South Pill Hall was not for show.


    Which of the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present did not receive his favor before?


    If the three great families wanted to withdraw from Heavenly South Pill Hall, it was naturally inconvenient for the others to make a move.


    But, if it really came down to open hostilities, the three great families did not have confidence in winning at all.


    Actually, Zhao Xun��s heart was currently surging with choppy waves too.


    Ye Yuan actually brought out true grade heavenly imperial pills the moment he made his move!


    He thought that if Ye Yuan could refine an ordinary grade two heavenly pill, it would already be very impressive.


    Wanting to refine heavenly imperial pills to true grade, what kind of concept was that?


    This was also to say that Ye Yuan had walked much further than they imagined along the path of true grade!


    Of course, Zhao Xu was also clear that Ye Yuan had prepared for a long time and was finally making a big move.


    At this time, it concerned the future of Heavenly South Pill Hall. He had to anchor the scene!


    Didn��t you say that you had never seen before true grade heavenly pills?


    Fine, today, I��ll let all of you witness what��s called a true grade heavenly pill!


    How could Huang Haoyan two people have experienced such a spectacle before? They were already frightened silly.


    In this banquet, the two of them were just small fries, the weakest kind.


    If not because their relationship with Ye Yuan was pretty good, they would not even have the qualifications to enter this place.


    But now, they were refining heavenly pills under the eyelids of a bunch of Jade Sovereign Heaven and Limitless Sublime Heaven powerhouses!


    The pressure was tremendous!


    ��M-Master Ye, this gift is too precious! It �� It��s too much for us! Why don��t you take it back?�� Huang Haoyan said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No amount of money can buy my joy! I, Ye Yuan, am never stingy to friends. If I say that you��re worthy of it, you��re worthy of it!��


    Su Yi let loose a torrent of abuse by the side, saying ��You stupid pig, this is a massive lucky chance! You��re actually pushing it away! Your Father doesn��t have a son-in-law like you! Unworthy thing, angering Your Father to death!��


    Huang Haoyan turned to look at Su Peiyun and discovered that his fianc��e had a look of anticipation too.


    This was really a massive lucky chance. After passing by this village, there would not be this shop anymore!


    ��O-Okay? Then we��ll �� refine it!��


    Huang Haoyan gritted his teeth and directly swallowed the Greater Sublime Creation Pill.


    When the heavenly pill entered his abdomen, an overwhelming force surged crazily towards his small world.


    His inner world seemed to have been filled to the brim all at once, the frenzied divine essence flooding in.


    The medicinal effects of grade two heavenly imperial pills did not lose to grade three heavenly pills in the first place!


    And how many times stronger was the power of true grade heavenly imperial pills compared to ordinary heavenly imperial pills?


    What was even more terrifying was that even with such crazed divine essence was pouring in, his entire being actually did not face the slightest rejection!


    Huang Haoyan was peak upper Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum in the first place. In virtually an instant, he crossed this threshold and successfully broke through the realm!


    Grand completion Greater Sublime Heaven!


    Seeing such a terrifying medicinal effect, the expressions of the heavyweights present all changed wildly.


    ��This �� This is also too fast, right? Breaking through the realm was done in a flash!��


    ��Is this true grade? Utterly terrifying!��


    ��Even if it��s an upper ninth grade heavenly imperial pill, it��s not worth mentioning at all in front of this medicinal effect too!��


    �� ��


    Amidst the shocked voices, Huang Haoyan��s cultivation realm was still increasing rapidly.


    The Great Dao accumulations contained in the Greater Sublime Creation Pill let Huang Haoyan give rise to a trace of comprehension.


    Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was right before his eyes!


    The scariest thing about true grade heavenly pills was not that terrifying medicinal effect, but that trace of Great Dao accumulation that was integrated inside!


    This trace of Great Dao accumulation could inspire the martial artist��s comprehension of heaven and earth.


    Jiang Li broke through to Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum precisely because of this trace of enlightenment!


    Huang Haoyan��s understanding of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum became clearer and clearer.


    That barrier confining him became more and more fragile.


    Finally, with a bang, it broke!


    The current Huang Haoyan felt as if he was soaring above the ninth heaven, overlooking the world.


    That sort of feeling was wonderful to the extreme!


    ��Is this Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum?�� Huang Haoyan slowly opened both eyes, recollecting the aftertaste endlessly.


    His gaze swept over everyone��s faces and discovered that everyone in the main hall was looking at him with blank faces. It was as if they had seen something beyond comprehension.


    But by his side, Su Peiyun broke through one step earlier than him!


    Two true grade heavenly imperial pills, two Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums!


    Gulp!


    Many people involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, showing their shock currently.


    True grade heavenly pill, it truly shocked them!


    Zhao Xun looked at the two with a look of surprise and said, ��Is �� Is this the power of a true grade heavenly imperial pill? From upper Greater Sublime Heaven to lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, it��s merely a snap of a finger! True grade heavenly imperial pill, it��s indeed utterly terrifying!��

 Chapter 2669 - Executing Things in a Sweeping Manner!

    ��Many thanks, Master Ye!��


    Huang Haoyan two people gave a deep bow to Ye Yuan respectfully.


    Ye Yuan had indeed given them a huge lucky chance, making them benefit endlessly.


    They both could feel that the effects of this Greater Sublime Creation Pill still had some remnants in their bodies.


    In the future, it will be excavated little by little.


    The two could not help somewhat feeling vicissitudes of emotion. Becoming acquainted with Ye Yuan was a massive good fortune in itself.


    Otherwise, they would probably already be dead currently, let alone talk about breaking through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I, Ye Yuan, am never stingy to my own people. But this Ye will also never show leniency to enemies.��


    The words made everyone��s expression change.


    This was clearly not only said for the two of them but said for everyone present to hear!


    As long as you followed me, Ye Yuan, there would be plenty of benefits in the future.


    But if you wanted to oppose me.


    Sorry, your outcome might be very miserable.


    ��Brat, do you want to use true grade heavenly pills to beguile people��s hearts? What a joke! To others, this true grade heavenly pill is merely a castle in the sky, that��s all! You want to use this to whet everyone��s appetites and support you to become Third Hall Master with this? Huhu, may I ask you what benefits we can get after you become Third Hall Master?�� Ironcore said with a cold smile.


    Witnessing the power of a true grade heavenly pill, Ironcore was extremely shocked too.


    But the more it was so, the more it could prove the expression of his views.


    Ye Yuan did not pay attention to him, but swept his gaze over everyone��s faces and said coolly, ��Don��t say that this Ye doesn��t give you the chance! Right now, who else wants to withdraw from Heavenly South Pill Hall, step forward!��


    ��This �� This is making people pick sides!��


    ��If one withdrew from Heavenly South Pill Hall, they will definitely be unfated with true grade heavenly pills in the future!��


    ��Huhu, are you thinking too much? You think that by not withdrawing, you��ll be fated with true grade heavenly pills?��


    �� ��


    Many people��s faces revealed a look of hesitation.


    Even the three great families�� subordinate factions were also hesitating at this time.


    After all, true grade heavenly pill was too effective!


    ��Huhu, looks like two hall masters are hellbent on breaking away from our three great families! Fine, my Min Family will be the first to withdraw from Heavenly South Pill Hall!�� Min Nanshan said with a cold smile.


    ��I��ll withdraw!��


    ��I��m withdrawing too!��


    �� ��


    The moment Min Nanshan came forward, immediately there were families who were subordinate to the Min Family that stepped forward.


    However, the numbers suddenly dropped by more than half compared to before!


    Clearly, some families were still hesitating!


    Min Nanshan��s heart thumped and he could not help palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    The impact of this big move that Ye Yuan just released was seriously too strong.


    Some families�� willpower was already disintegrating.


    ��Humph! Do you guys think that by staying in Heavenly South Pill Hall, you can obtain true grade heavenly pills? Too naive!�� Min Nanshan said with a cold snort.


    He wanted to spur these people on!


    But the effect was negligible!


    Those hesitating clearly already had an idea in mind, how could it be changed easily?


    However, what made Min Nanshan feel uneasy was Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu!


    He had already expressed his attitude clearly. Yet, these two people actually did not concur immediately!


    Min Nanshan��s eyes looked over and discovered that these two people were clearly both hesitating!


    Seeing that the family heads did not move, these two families�� vassal families naturally did not dare to easily express their stand too.


    ��Song Tianyan, Yun Baiyu, what are you guys still waiting for?�� Min Nanshan said in a solemn voice.


    Right at this time, Yun Baiyu let out a deep sigh, like he had made up his mind about something.


    The moment Min Nanshan saw this, he could not help being overjoyed.


    Yun Baiyu suddenly gave a bow towards Ye Yuan and said, ��This Yun was blinded by greed previously, resulting in affronting Third Hall Master! My Yun Family is willing to receive punishment!��


    ��Yun Baiyu, you!�� Min Nanshan��s expression changed wildly, that look wished to swallow Yun Baiyu whole.


    But Zhao Xun and Wu Jian exchanged a glance, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing across in their eyes.


    Ye Yuan��s big move had indeed proved effective!


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, it was a true grade heavenly imperial pill. The impact on the two great family heads was too strong.


    As long as the three great families fell apart, even if the Min Family really became independent, it would be nothing too.


    Excellent play!


    These two people��s eyes when looking at Ye Yuan became different.


    Suddenly, Song Tianyang bowed to Ye Yuan too as he said, ��Song Tianyang pays respect to Third Hall Master! My Song Family is also willing to receive punishment!��


    All the heavyweights present were incredibly shocked.


    Originally, the two great hall masters were already pressed into a corner.


    Who would have thought that the moment Ye Yuan made his move, the situation would undergo an astonishing reversal, two great family heads turned traitor at the same time!


    While Min Nanshan and Ironcore two people stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    The three families had talked it over, to advance and withdraw together. Who knew that at this juncture, the Song and Yun two families actually turned traitors at the same time!


    Now, the one who found it difficult to back down became Min Nanshan instead!


    Ironcore was just an outsider. Heavenly South Pill Hall��s change did not have much bearing on him.


    But the Min Family was different!


    If only his family withdrew, that would make it difficult to do much single-handedly!


    Without the support of the other two great families, even if he reached peak grade four heavenly alchemist, how could he be Heavenly South Pill Hall��s match?


    A hint of an imperceptible sneer flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Actually, it was not that Ironcore��s trick was not perfect. It was just that he severely underestimated his strength.


    True grade heavenly imperial pill, how many people could resist this kind of temptation?


    Moreover, he still had an ace-in-the-hole!


    ��Song and Yun two families provoked Heavenly South Pill Hall��s authority, conspiring to rebel! Now, this hall master will strip away the two of your elder positions. Are you guys �� convinced?�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Once these words came out, everyone��s countenance changed visibly.


    These two families had just pledged allegiance, directly stripping the family heads of their elder position, wasn��t this pushing them out?


    An elder position represented too many things.


    This punishment could be rated as heavy!


    The moment Min Nanshan heard, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, ��Hahaha, Song Tianyang, Yun Baiyu, you guys are really laughable! He doesn��t buy it at all!��


    Song and Yun two people��s expressions also changed abruptly. However, they gritted their teeth and said, ��Song Tianyang (Yun Baiyu), is wholeheartedly convinced!��


    Everyone was shocked again. No one expected that they admitted defeat so obediently!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a solemn voice, ��For the Land of Heavenly South, there��s the Myriad Demons Mountain to the north, and Thistle South sea race to the south. It can be said that the people are surviving between the crevices! Therefore, everyone uniting as one is the most important thing! Harming Heavenly South��s interests for one��s own personal gain, they should be kicked out! Today, this hall master will announce that the Min Family will be expelled forever under the authority of Third Hall Master!��


    Everyone��s heart could not help sinking. This measure was truly swift and fierce!


    Except, it was not over yet.


    Ye Yuan continued: ��But then again, since it��s uniting as one, this hall master naturally won��t hoard either! In half a month, the alchemy path families present each pick out five elite disciples and send them to Heavenly South Pill Hall! This hall master will teach them personally! In addition, this hall master will also discuss with Head Hall Master and Second Hall Master to set a rule! Those who can meet this standard, will all have a chance to obtain a true grade heavenly pill! Of course, this hall master also hopes that in the future, there will be someone among you all who can refine true grade heavenly pills too!��

 Chapter 2670 - Heavenly South’s Number Two Genius!

    A small family��s patriarch said with a face full of excitement, ��Third Hall Master, you mean �� all the families present?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��That��s right. It��s all of the families! If the various major cities have suitable candidates, they can send them over too! But I��ll say the unpleasant things first, this hall master has my own standards in selecting people. If they can��t meet the standards, they will be sent back without exception! But, as long as I take them in, presumably it won��t be a problem for them to step into grade four heavenly alchemist in the future.��


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    These words were really too domineering.


    It was just that, many people expressed skepticism about this.


    ��Huhu, ignorant fools. Do you think that grade four heavenly alchemists are all cabbages? A puny little grade two heavenly alchemist is spouting a stream of empty rhetoric here; what a joke!�� Min Nanshan said with a cold laugh.


    Although these words were somewhat unpleasant when coming out of his mouth, they represented what everyone was thinking in their hearts.


    Those able to reach grade four heavenly alchemists were already feudal kings of a region in this Heavenly South City!


    Not anybody could reach grade four heavenly alchemist.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Whether or not it��s cabbages, has nothing to do with you anymore! Family Head Min, you��ve already withdrawn from Heavenly South Pill Hall. Isn��t it somewhat inappropriate for you to be telling people what to do here?��


    Min Nanshan��s face flushed red, immediately feeling somewhat ashamed to show his face.


    He was actually being isolated now!


    Zhao Xun also spoke up at this time, saying, ��Min Nanshan, the real idiot is you! Even this hall master also needs to ask for advice with an open mind in front of Ye Yuan! Whoever can obtain his guidance, becoming a grade four heavenly alchemist in the future is probably the most basic threshold!��


    ��What? How is this possible?��


    ��Head Hall Master means that Third Hall Master is giving pointers to him?��


    ��Could it be that in the future, grade four heavenly alchemists will really become cabbages?��


    �� ��


    Zhao Xun personally admitted that he was inferior to Ye Yuan. This made the big shots from everywhere incredibly shocked.


    It was true that Ye Yuan could refine true grade heavenly pills. But that was just grade two heavenly pills.


    A grade two heavenly alchemist giving pointers to a grade four heavenly alchemist, it sounded somewhat fantastical no matter.


    Even Min Nanshan��s expression changed abruptly too.


    ��Humph! Then, let��s wait and see!�� Min Nanshan��s face fell, and he flicked his sleeves and left.


    Zhao Xun��s gaze looked toward Ironcore, and he said in a cold voice, ��Ironcore, from today onwards, my Heavenly South Pill Hall absolutely won��t refine a single heavenly pill for your lineage! Take your leave!��


    Ironcore��s expression changed wildly, feeling like he shot himself in the foot.


    Why was Heavenly South Pill Hall so impressive?


    It was because they monopolized all the supply of Heavenly South��s heavenly pills!


    However, before this, factions stood in great numbers in Heavenly South Pill Hall, each with their own interests.


    Even Zhao Xun two people were no exception either.


    Therefore, wanting to boycott a certain faction was actually very difficult.


    But now, Ye Yuan shocked all of the alchemy path families with lightning means.


    Then, who still dared to show face to him, Ironcore?


    Ironcore gritted his teeth and also left in resentment.


    Zhao Xun said in a solemn voice, ��From tomorrow on, this hall master and second hall master will go into closed-seclusion! All of Heavenly South Pill Hall��s matters will be taken charge of by Third Hall Master! In addition, if anyone dares to sell Ironcore��s lineage heavenly pills, they will be immediately expelled from Heavenly South Pill Hall!��


    Everyone was inexplicably shocked!


    No one thought that the two hall masters were actually going into closed-seclusion!


    Then in the closed-seclusion period, the real hall master would actually become Ye Yuan!


    They naturally did not know that Ye Yuan��s pointers in the past few days gave these two people a feeling of grand awakening.


    It even overthrew their inherent understanding of Alchemy Dao over the years.


    Therefore, they needed to go into closed-seclusion to reorganize the accumulation of so many years.


    If not for this feast today, they would have long gone into closed-seclusion.


    �� ��


    In less than three days, the disciples carefully selected by the various major families, have already been sent to Heavenly South Pill Hall!


    Obtaining the legacy of true grade, how could they let such an opportunity slip by?


    Carrot and stick, this was a management method that proved effective every time!


    Wanting to make these families submit wholeheartedly, deterrence was a must. There naturally could not dispense with benefits too.


    Ye Yuan��s personal guidance was the greatest benefit!


    Especially that even Zhao Xun personally admitted that he was inferior to Ye Yuan. This made Ye Yuan become even more mysterious in front of the factions from all over.


    This estranged feeling would make people give rise to a sense of awe.


    Over 200 disciples were brought into a very big pill refining room.


    After entering, the guards went out.


    There were only these disciples left in the pill refining room.


    In Heavenly South City, these major families�� disciples mostly knew each other and naturally started to engage in small talk.


    One of them was immediately being lauded like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.


    ��Congratulations, Brother Wenhao! You��re Heavenly South��s number two genius to begin with. This time, being personally guided by Master Ye, you��ll definitely be able to achieve true grade heavenly pill! When the time comes, the Song Family will be Heavenly South��s number one family clan!��


    ��Still Heavenly South��s number two genius? Master Jiang Li has already advanced to grade four heavenly alchemist. He��s already considered a senior. How can he be called a genius? Brother Wenhao is the well-deserving Heavenly South��s number one genius now!��


    ��Right, right, right, number one genius! Number one genius!��


    �� ��


    Song Wenhao was the Song Family��s number one genius. At the same time, he was also reputed as Heavenly South��s number two genius after Jiang Li!


    But he had made quite a bit of accomplishment in alchemy at a young age.


    His strength overpowered those in the same rank in Heavenly South!


    This time, the Song Family reined in at the brink of the precipice and similarly obtained the right to roll in elite disciples. Song Wenhao naturally occupied a foremost position.


    Although Song Tianyang��s strength was not as good as Min Nanshan��s, the Song Family saw hope in Song Wenhao, and they naturally focused on grooming him.


    Being praised by everyone, Song Wenhao smiled calmly and said, ��True grade heavenly pills have been spread until they seem miraculous. In my view, it��s merely nothing more than this! The Land of Heavenly South just doesn��t know the right method. That��s why true grade will seem precious! As long as this young master learns the method of refinement, wouldn��t true grade heavenly pills still be easily accomplished?��


    He never felt that he was worse than Jiang Li in any way.


    He had actually always been unconvinced by the title of number two genius.


    As for true grade, although he knew that it was impressive, he did not care.


    It was nothing more than the method of inheritance!


    He, Song Wenhao, had always been incredibly fast in cultivating heavenly medicine refining arts.


    As long as he grasped the method of inheritance, he felt that he would definitely be able to refine true grade heavenly pills.


    Time slowly trickled by. Nobody came to this pill refining room.


    They were forgotten for the greater part of the day.


    Many people started to get irritated.


    Some paced back and forth, some were restless, and others were full of complaints.


    ��Humph! What��s the deal with hanging us out to dry here? These three hall masters are also taking Heavenly South��s noble families too lightly!�� Song Wenhao was the most impatient and could not refrain from grumbling.


    ��Isn��t that so! Looks like he didn��t call us over to teach us at all. It��s purely to give a blow to Heavenly South��s noble families!�� Someone immediately echoed.


    ��Third Hall Master is dissatisfied with our families�� previous actions. This is deliberately giving us a blow to take revenge!��


    �� ��


    Along with the passage of time, similar complaints grew more and more.


    These genius disciples also became even more impatient and restless.


    However, there were exceptions too.


    One of the young men came before the furnace fire and practiced fire controlling techniques.


    ��Huhu, Song Minzhe, with your paltry skills, don��t make a spectacle of yourself! Making a frantic last-minute effort, do you think that Third Hall Master will pick you?�� Song Wenhao looked at him and said with a sneer.

 Chapter 2671 - Survival of the Fittest

    ��Huhu, similarly you are a Song Family��s descendant, but Song Minzhe, you��re simply a piece of trash!��


    ��Just this bit of skill, you also dare to show off your incompetence in front of Brother Wenhao?��


    ��What a joke! The Song Family actually let you come and make up the numbers!��


    �� ��


    When Song Wenhao opened his mouth, there were immediately many people who concurred, helping to reprove Song Minzhe together.


    Song Wenhao was popular and would definitely be an important person in the future.


    Getting on his good terms at this time would be equivalent to climbing up a large tree!


    Song Minzhe was Song Wenhao��s cousin. In this generation, he had a mediocre aptitude and barely managed to be sent over.


    However, in the eyes of the Song Family, he was merely playing the character of accompanying the crown prince to study. It was impossible to be selected.


    Normally, Song Wenhao looked down on this cousin and had no lack of disparaging him in the family.


    ��Big Brother, I don��t have the intention of displaying my slight skill before an expert. I just felt bored from waiting. So why not practice fire controlling technique to pass the time,�� Song Minzhe said.


    Pah!


    Song Wenhao gave him a backhanded slap and shouted coldly, ��Learned to talk back huh! Those who can come here, which one isn��t stronger than you? With your paltry skills, go back home if you want to be a disgrace. You coming here is losing face for the Song Family!��


    Song Minzhe covered his face, but his eyes were very stubborn.


    He did not feel that he did anything wrong!


    Practicing fire controlling technique to pass the time was wrong too?


    When Song Wenhao saw that Song Minzhe was not convinced, he was even more furious.


    Bang!


    He kicked Song Minzhe��s chest again, directly sending him flying with a kick.


    ��Presumptuous thing, you dare to look at me using this sort of eyes? This young master will beat you, this disobedient thing, to death!��


    Creak!


    Right at this time, the pill refining room��s door was suddenly opened.


    Ye Yuan brought Cui Tong and the rest and walked in slowly.


    ��Third Hall Master is here!��


    The group of geniuses were surprised and hurriedly stood in line.


    Even Song Wenhao also reined in his arrogance and stood there respectfully.


    Song Minzhe struggled to his feet and did not say anything. He just stood at one side quietly.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over everyone��s faces. All the geniuses felt short on breath, nervous to the extreme.


    They did not know why. This person in front of them clearly had a similar cultivation realm as them. But when they faced Ye Yuan, they had a feeling of being seen through.


    ��For you guys to be able to come here, it means that you guys are all elite disciples in your families! However, being selected by your families doesn��t mean being selected by me too! This hall master has my own standards for choosing people. Now, you all practice by yourselves. Let this hall master take a look at your strength first!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Many people were immediately raring to go as soon as they heard it.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, those who could come here were all elites.


    They naturally wanted to display their strength in front of Ye Yuan, in hopes of being able to become Ye Yuan��s disciple.


    That was true grade inheritance!


    ��Who��s first?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��I��ll go first!�� Song Wenhao came forward on his own accord and was the first one to step out of the ranks.


    Many people wanted to compete to be the first too, but seeing that Song Wenhao had made a move, they consciously backed out.


    The first one to take the stage naturally had an advantage.


    First impressions were the most lasting!


    The earlier someone displayed their skills, the earlier it could capture people��s eyes.


    Especially someone like Song Wenhao, the moment he made his move, it would seem dull and disinteresting afterward. The chances of being selected would clearly be much lower too.


    Of course, this was also established on the foundation of strength.


    If one did not have strength but took the stage first, there could only be the result of being beaten.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Okay, you��ll refine a grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!��


    Song Wenhao smiled proudly and said, ��Third Hall Master, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is too simple, it can��t demonstrate my strength at all!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly and he said with displeasure, ��Are you testing this hall master? Or is it this hall master who��s testing you?��


    When Song Wenhao saw that Ye Yuan got angry, he could not help being alarmed inwardly, and hurriedly said with embarrassment, ��I-It��s naturally Third Hall Master who��s testing this disciple! Okay, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill it is!��


    When Song Wenhao made his move, he was indeed strong, immediately attracting a furor of exclamations.


    To him, grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was simply child��s play. It was too easy.


    Very soon, the heavenly pill came out of the furnace!


    Without the slightest surprise, middle ninth grade!


    To a grade two heavenly alchemist, being able to refine the grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to middle ninth grade was a very impressive thing in itself.


    After coming down, Song Wenhao had a proud look on his face.


    He believed that this heavenly pill could absolutely move Ye Yuan!


    Unless he was blind!


    Of course, Ye Yuan appeared very calm.


    Song Wenhao was not very surprised. To really talk about geniuses, Ye Yuan was the most freakish one!


    Being able to refine true grade heavenly pills at this age, this was a monster!


    However, Song Wenhao would not be unduly humble either. In his view, Ye Yuan just had a better background than him.


    Following this, the various major families�� genius disciples displayed their strength one after another.


    Ye Yuan did not make them refine other heavenly pills either, it was all grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Only after spending a full three days�� time did Ye Yuan finish watching all of these people.


    However, when Song Minzhe was refining, Ye Yuan paid special attention and secretly nodded his head in his heart.


    Actually, the things that happened here, Ye Yuan had long perceived it at a glance.


    In reality, making them wait here was a part of the assessment in itself.


    Ye Yuan had an impression of every person present.


    After everyone finished refining, all the geniuses looked at Ye Yuan with looks of anticipation.


    While Song Wenhao was brimming with confidence.


    ��Now, whoever I point to, stand over there.��


    Ye Yuan slowly extended his hand and pointed at Song Wenhao first.


    Song Wenhao revealed a smile like it was as expected, and stepped out of the ranks to stand at one side.


    The others cast envious looks towards him one after another.


    ��You!��


    ��You!��


    ��You too!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan pointed one by one. Many of those he pointed at were the top geniuses of the various major families.


    Even if some people were not as good as Song Wenhao, they were about the same too.


    Ye Yuan pointed at more than 150 people in one go before stopping.


    Those who were pointed at were all beside themselves with joy.


    While those who were not pointed at had dejected faces because they lost a golden opportunity.


    ��You all can go back already!�� Ye Yuan said to the 150 over people indifferently.


    Song Wenhao was taken aback and said, ��What �� What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan raised his volume a little as he said coolly, ��I said, you all can go back already! The rest will become my disciples.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pointed in Song Minzhe that direction.


    He was kept.


    Song Wenhao opened his eyes wide, a look of disbelief as he said, ��Third Hall Master, are �� are you mistaken? This bunch of trash is going to become your disciples?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��What did you say?��


    Song Wenhao suddenly raised his voice and said furiously, ��Third Hall Master, you hold great power and authority, but us noble family disciples aren��t easy to bully either! Were you messing with us noble family descendants by having our families send us over? I really don��t know what kind of benchmark you��re using to assess, eliminating us geniuses and leaving behind these trash! Huhu, I, Song Wenhao, am not convinced!��


    ��I��m not convinced either!��


    ��I��m not convinced!��

 Chapter 2672 - Giving Pointers

    This group of geniuses was all stubborn and unruly people. If there was really a justifiable reason to eliminate them, then forget it.


    Yet, Ye Yuan picked a bunch of fellows who were not outstanding, and he eliminated all of these outstanding ones instead. How could they be willing to agree?��


    Even Song Minzhe themselves also had blank faces, making neither head nor tail of it.


    In reality, they also agreed with Song Wenhao��s point of view in their hearts, thinking that Ye Yuan was intentionally making fun of these noble families.


    Otherwise, how could they, these characters who were accompanying the crown prince to study, possibly be chosen?


    Ye Yuan had clearly long anticipated these people��s reactions and said indifferently, ��This hall master naturally knows that you guys are not convinced. However, this hall master will make you all convinced! Starting from today onward, all of you can come here every day too, and receive my guidance and cultivate according to my requirements. Three months later, you guys will undergo a showdown. If you all can win and slap this hall master��s face, this hall master naturally welcomes you to stay!��


    Song Wenhao��s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a sneer, ��Third Hall Master, this is what you said! I, Song Wenhao, am definitely slapping this face!��


    ��Third Hall Master, I hope that you don��t go back on your word!��


    ��Dueling with this bunch of trash, this young master can win them lying down!��


    �� ��


    What could change in three months?


    Moreover, they were even able to receive the same guidance!


    With their talent, they would only pull further and further away from those trash. How could they possibly be surpassed?


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��You all rest assured. This hall master is naturally a man of his word. When the time comes, not only will you guys stay, this hall master will even apologize to you guys!��


    Song Wenhao smiled coldly and said, ��Then what are we still waiting for? Let��s start!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��The first lesson that I��m teaching you all is cultivating grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to the realm of upper ninth grade! Now, let��s start!��


    ��What? Grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill? Third Hall Master, you aren��t joking, right? Grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, what��s there to cultivate?�� Song Wenhao was taken aback and immediately questioned.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You just need to do it, why are there so many questions? If you don��t want to, you can leave right now!��


    Song Wenhao��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! Isn��t it just upper ninth grade? This young master has already reached middle ninth grade. Isn��t it half a step away from upper ninth grade?��


    Hence, the group of geniuses started practicing by themselves.


    They did not feel that grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill had any use, but they could only follow accordingly.


    In Song Wenhao��s view, with his talent and strength, reaching upper ninth grade would just be easily achieved.


    But he was wrong!


    Before upper ninth grade, it could be achieved by relying on talent.


    However, upper ninth grade required hard work plus talent.


    He tried ten times and failed.


    100 times and still failed.


    Hence, he started getting irritated and impatient!


    But, the more so, the more he could not refine an upper ninth grade.


    In fact, the quality even showed regression.


    ��What the bloody hell! Your Father has refined for half a month. What��s the use of spending time on this kind of meaningless thing every day?�� Song Wenhao knocked all the things on the table off with a smack as he said impatiently.


    In reality, it was not just him who felt annoyed and impatient.


    Those few people that Ye Yuan pointed out would more or less appear somewhat agitated and restless.


    In their view, being able to reach ninth grade was already enough.


    Wasting time on this kind of meaningless thing was not worth it at all.


    Their refinement was also intermittent and half-hearted.


    Low-level basic heavenly pills were worthless in their eyes.


    However, most of Ye Yuan��s attention was on Song Minzhe.


    This boy��s temperament was level-headed. He treated each pill refinement very seriously and never rested too.


    A person should not underestimate this point. To a heavenly alchemist, it was a tremendous consumption of energy and willpower.


    Without the support of strong willpower, it was simply impossible to do it.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan perceived from him practicing the fire controlling technique previously that his foundation was very solid.


    The disparity between Song Minzhe and Song Wenhao was actually just affinity!


    In terms of affinity, Song Wenhao shook Song Minzhe off by several streets.


    But in terms of perseverance, in terms of foundation, in terms of temperament, Song Minzhe shook Song Wenhao off by more than a dozen streets!


    However, in Ye Yuan��s view, the latter was the prerequisite to becoming a powerful heavenly alchemist.


    Therefore, he was very optimistic about Song Minzhe.


    Song Minzhe had clearly realized it too. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.


    Therefore, he was pushing himself frantically.


    Song Minzhe��s talent was poor, which was also just relative to Song Wenhao.


    Actually, Song Minzhe��s foundation was very solid.


    His grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill already reached peak eighth grade too. There was only a step away from ninth grade as well.


    And a short half a month later, he finally crossed ninth grade, this threshold, as well!


    In reality, in this half a month, Ye Yuan had been continuously giving guidance to the geniuses present too.


    Including the Song Wenhao that he looked down upon the most!


    But, with regards to the refining technique of the grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, these so-called geniuses would not take it in at all.


    Instead, it was this bunch of so-called trash who accepted it unconditionally.


    In this half a month, each of them made tremendous improvements.


    Of course, this bit of improvement was utterly not worth mentioning in the view of Song Wenhao and the rest.


    Seeing Song Wenhao flew off the handle, Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Pick it up!��


    Song Wenhao said with a cold snort, ��Based on what? Third Hall Master, you��re clearly targeting us! What��s there to refine about the lousy Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp and he said in a cold voice, ��This hall master will say it again; pick it up for me!��


    A powerful aura pressured Song Wenhao until his expression changed abruptly.


    Similarly being a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, the feeling that Ye Yuan gave him was actually like that of a ferocious beast.


    Too terrifying!


    ��I �� I��ll pick it up!��


    After Song Wenhao picked it up, Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Get lost!��


    Song Wenhao��s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��What �� What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��You don��t deserve to be here! Right now, immediately, at once, get lost!��


    In Ye Yuan��s view, with this kind of temperament, it was simply impossible to have any accomplishments in alchemy.


    What could high affinity show?


    Moreover, affinity in itself could be changed!


    Song Wenhao��s gaze turned cold and he said in a solemn voice, ��Third Hall Master, I think that you��re forcing our Song Family to break away from Heavenly South Pill Hall!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��Just the likes of you can decide the direction of the Song Family too? If you��re still not scramming, this hall master will send you out personally!��


    Song Wenhao��s eyes were spewing fire and he shouted coldly, ��I��ll go then. Either way, it��s useless to stay here too! Two and a half months later, I, Song Wenhao, will definitely make you apologize to my face! You think that by relying on this bunch of trash, you can win against me?��


    Finished talking, Song Wenhao turned right around and left.


    In the pill refining room, it was silent. There was only the sound of flames bursting forth.


    Song Minzhe and the rest were still immersed in pill refining at this time and were completely oblivious to what was happening here.


    To Ye Yuan, this was merely a small interlude.


    Song Wenhao was nothing more than a clown jumping around, falling short of Ye Yuan��s standard.


    Time flew by quickly. Three months��s period ended very soon.


    On this day, the various noble families�� patriarchs arrived one after another.


    After Song Wenhao went out, Ye Yuan��s criteria for selecting people also immediately shocked all of the noble families.


    Today, they naturally had to come and take a look as well.

 Chapter 2673 - Stubborn and Reluctant to Admit Mistakes?

    ��This is simply nonsense! This Third Hall Master drove all of our noble families�� most elite disciples back! Those who remained are all some guys that aren��t of any use, what the hell is this?��


    ��In my view, he did it on purpose! He has never thought of leaving behind the true grade heavenly pill inheritance at all!��


    ��He��s deceiving the two hall masters and also wants to fool us, these noble families!��


    �� ��


    In the main hall, there was a noisy clamor.


    Many family heads expressed strong displeasure with Ye Yuan��s actions.


    Even Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu two people, their expressions were very ugly too.


    They both had a feeling of being fooled.


    But luckily, the Song Family and Yun Family both left three people behind.


    However, the Song Family��s and Yun Family��s strongest juniors, Song Wenhao and Yun Yuan, were both rejected by Ye Yuan.


    Without this duel, they would naturally make noise.


    But Ye Yuan gave Song Wenhao and Yun Yuan a chance. They naturally had to wait for a while.


    They also wanted to see what kind of miraculous means this Third Hall Master had, to be able to make those trash surpass the top disciples.


    The door to the pill refining room opened, Cui Tong walked out and said, ��Gentlemen, please come in!��


    The big shots entered in a single file, somewhat impatient to slap Ye Yuan��s face.


    They did not believe that the geniuses they exhausted resources to groom, actually could not compare to Ye Yuan��s three months of teaching!


    Moreover, they even enjoyed the same treatment.


    Song Tianyang looked at Ye Yuan and said with an unfriendly expression, ��Third Hall Master, you wanted to strip my Song Family of the elder position, we��ve accepted it! But now, shouldn��t you give us an explanation?��


    Yun Baiyu also said, ��We know that the true grade heavenly pill is extremely precious. But, if Third Hall Master wants to use this kind of method to hammer us now, the Yun Family won��t sit passively and await destruction either!��


    With these two great families�� patriarchs taking the lead, the other family heads expressed indignation one after another.


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��Everyone, calm down. You��ll know after seeing it. Since you all came, let��s get started then. Song Wenhao, you go first?��


    Song Wenhao had a stomach full of anger and was just about to give vent to it.


    Seeing Ye Yuan mention him, he smiled coldly and said, ��As it should be! Wonder if I can choose my opponent myself or not?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said indifferently, ��The people that I��ve selected, you can choose at will.��


    Song Wenhao waved his hand and said in a solemn voice, ��No need! I��ll pick my brilliant cousin, Song Minzhe! I know that you think the most highly of him in this group of people! Today, I��m going to trample him underfoot in front of everyone. I��ll let Third Hall Master see how blind you were!��


    Ye Yuan did not care either and smiled broadly as he said, ��Song Minzhe, come.��


    ��Yes!�� Song Minzhe gave a bow and stepped forward.


    Song Wenhao looked at Song Minzhe and said disdainfully, ��Song Minzhe, do you really think that you can turn into a phoenix from a hen, and transform from a swallow into a phoenix? Today, this young master will make you see that you��re still a hen on the ground!��


    Song Minzhe��s face showed some fear.


    He knew how big his improvement in these three months was.


    But what Ye Yuan made them practice was all grade one basic heavenly pills!


    Other heavenly pills, they totally never touched them.


    As a Song Family��s descendant, Song Minzhe naturally knew Song Wenhao��s strength.


    Really making him face off against Song Wenhao, he was still lacking confidence in his heart.


    What kind of eyesight did Song Tianyang and the rest of the family heads have?


    Seeing Song Minzhe��s expression, they already determined the victor of this match in their hearts.


    Originally, alchemy was not something that could be learned quickly within a short period of time too.


    Wanting to make Song Minzhe beat the proud son of heaven, Song Wenhao, in a short three months�� time, how was that possible?


    Each and every one of these family heads, they were sneering to no end in their hearts.


    They were waiting for the moment Ye Yuan gets his face slapped!


    What was even more damnable was that Ye Yuan even gave the choosing rights of the heavenly pill to the other party!


    Song Wenhao laughed loudly and said, ��My good younger brother, you wouldn��t be naive enough to think that I��ll pick the grade one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, right? Relax, I won��t be so stupid! Want to compete, we naturally have to fight with real swords and spears; competing in grade two heavenly pills! No matter how good you refine grade one heavenly pills, what��s the bloody use? I choose the Greater Sublime Creation Pill!��


    Hearing this, the corners of Song Tianyang��s mouth curled slightly.


    This Greater Sublime Creation Pill was precisely what Ye Yuan brought out to awe everyone back then, the heavenly imperial pill that made Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun directly breakthrough to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Why was Song Wenhao called a genius?


    Precisely because he could already refine heavenly imperial pills at a young age!


    Peak grade two heavenly alchemist!


    Although the grade of the heavenly imperial pills that he refined still had much room for improvement, being able to refine it was already worthy of flaunting in itself.


    Heavenly imperial pills were not what everyone could refine.


    Many family heads were secretly sneering.


    ��No wonder Song Wenhao this boy was able to be regarded highly by Song Tianyang! This heavenly pill is chosen brilliantly!��


    ��You look at Song Minzhe��s expression, and you��ll know that he definitely can��t do it!��


    ��Huhu, making Song Minzhe refine a heavenly imperial pill within three months, how is this possible? With this, I want to see how Ye Yuan gets through this!��


    �� ��


    These family heads had already prepared a belly full of taunting and jeering, preparing to gift it to Ye Yuan.


    Even the factions that followed Zhao Xun and Wu Jian were quite unhappy with Ye Yuan now too.


    This method of squelching families was very low-level!


    Song Minzhe��s expression was very ugly. He could not resist looking at Ye Yuan and said flusteredly, ��Master Ye, I ����


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No need to have any pressure. You just refine as per normal!��


    Song Minzhe was at the very most a middle-level grade two heavenly alchemist. He did not even reach high-level.


    Therefore, refining a heavenly imperial pill was something rubbish talk.


    He also did not think that by refining grade one basic heavenly pills, he would be able to refine heavenly imperial pills.


    Song Minzhe knew that Ye Yuan had very high hopes for him, so the pressure of him was even greater.


    If he lost, Master Ye��s face would really be utterly lost.


    He was often compared to Song Wenhao by others in the Song Family and treated as a negative example.


    Now, he finally managed to win recognition from Ye Yuan. So he did not want to lose face for Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan��s comforting still calmed him down slightly.


    He always felt that Ye Yuan had a deep meaning in making him refine grade one basic heavenly pills.


    When the refinement started, Song Minzhe tossed these things to the back of his head very quickly.


    His seriousness toward pill refinement was also one of the reasons why Ye Yuan picked him.


    Compared to Song Wenhao, Song Minzhe��s disposition was far better.


    Although he was shouldering tremendous pressure, he could enter the zone very quickly and would not be crushed by the pressure.


    In fact, he would even turn pressure into drive!


    Seeing Song Minzhe��s somewhat bustling appearance, Song Tianyang suddenly said, ��Third Hall Master, is this the explanation that you��re giving us? It��s really nothing much!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Continue watching. Without reaching the last second, who can know the result?��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s words, everyone still responded with cold smiles.


    Stubborn and reluctant to admit mistakes was talking about the current Ye Yuan, right?


    With Song Minzhe��s flustered appearance, could he refine a heavenly imperial pill?


    What a joke!


    Right now, they felt that with the two hall masters making Ye Yuan into Third Hall Master, it was a complete mistake!

 Chapter 2674 - Take Them Back!

    ��Song Wenhao, Greater Sublime Creation Pill, lower second grade!��


    Along with Cui Tong��s announcement, everyone marveled in admiration.


    Compared to Ye Yuan��s true grade, this was naturally nothing.


    But this result was sufficient to overpower his peers.


    ��Song Wenhao this boy grew stronger again!��


    ��Really well-deserving of being Heavenly South��s number two genius! His potential isn��t the slightest bit worse than Jiang Li!��


    ��That Song Minzhe probably already refined it into a ruined pill, right? Huhu, Third Hall Master is really going to get his face slapped with this!��


    �� ��


    After the heavyweights marveled with admiration, there were mocking voices about Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan get deflated was what they wanted to do most right now.


    Even Song Minzhe himself also turned ashen pale after he saw this result.


    He felt that he was probably unable to surpass it.


    After all, he had never refined heavenly imperial pills prior to this.


    Being able to persevere on this time was a miracle in itself.


    While Song Wenhao had a proud look and said with a cold smile, ��Reckless and blind thing! Just the likes of you dare to contend for glory with this young master too? You��ll be going to get it after returning to the family clan this time!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Hasn��t Song Minzhe not opened the furnace yet? What are each and every one of you getting excited for?��


    Song Tianyang could not help laughing as he said, ��Is there still a need to open the furnace? With how Minzhe looked, being able to persevere is already a miracle! There��s a 90% chance that the heavenly pill in this furnace has become a ruined pill already!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Isn��t there still that 10% possibility? Song Minzhe, open the furnace!��


    Song Minzhe opened the furnace with a flustered mood.


    Boom!


    The moment the medicine cauldron opened, a heavenly pill appeared before everyone very quickly.


    The countenances of the big shots instantly changed.


    Song Wenhao��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��How is this possible? It �� It actually formed into a pill!��


    Song Tianyang had a blank look too as he said, ��Minzhe��s refinement clearly had no methodology to speak of, and yet his refinement can form a pill like this too?��


    Song Wenhao gave a cold snort and said, ��It��s useless even if it forms into a pill too! With just the likes of this trash, he can only refine a lower grade one too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Cui Tong, examine the pill!��


    Cui Tong complied and put the Greater Sublime Creation Pill on the Cloud Mount Mother Stone and said, ��Song Minzhe, Greater Sublime Creation Pill, middle third grade!��


    This sentence was seemingly like a sledgehammer abruptly smashing onto everyone��s hearts.


    All of the family heads were collectively turned to stone at this instant!


    Not only did the Song Minzhe who had never refined a heavenly imperial pill before refine it, it even directly reached middle third grade!��


    This was just a short three months, how could such a miraculous thing occur?


    Could it be that this Third Hall Master cast magic on him?


    ��This �� This is impossible! How can this trash possibly refine an upper third grade heavenly imperial pill? I don��t believe it! I don��t believe it!�� Song Wenhao felt that he was being deceived.


    How could this kind of thing possibly happen?


    Three months ago, Song Minzhe was clearly a trash that he looked down upon.


    Three months later, Ye Yuan actually turned stone to gold, trampling him, this Heavenly South��s number one genius, ruthlessly underfoot?


    He could not help looking towards Song Minzhe and discovered that the latter had a blank face too, with pleasant surprise mixed in it.


    Clearly, even he himself did not quite dare to believe it!


    Song Tianyang looked at Ye Yuan with a dull look and said, ��T-Third Hall Master, this �� Why in the world is it like this?��


    Ye Yuan had a look of it being natural and right on his face as he said coolly, ��No rush, continue watching. Who��s next?��


    ��I��ll go!��


    Yun Yuan came forward of his own accord and stepped forward.


    His gaze swept over that group of people, finally landing on a youth in a yellow shirt.


    ��I chose him!�� Yun Yuan pointed to the youth in the yellow shirt and said.


    ��This �� Yun Yuan actually picked the worst one in the Lin Family, Lin Zhaoyuan! He��s lowering his status by doing so!��


    ��Third Hall Master didn��t say that they can��t choose like this either! Since it��s within the permissible scope of the rules, what��s wrong with it?��


    ��I don��t believe that this bunch of brats can overturn the heavens!��


    �� ��


    The group of family heads clearly could not accept this reality. Because the thing that happened before their eyes was too subverting!


    A fellow with mediocre talent became a top genius in a blink of an eye.


    And all these just happened in a short three months�� time.


    Then, what was with all the hard work that they put in previously?


    Wouldn��t it become a joke?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said, ��Can! Lin Zhaoyuan, you come.��


    ��Yes!��


    Lin Zhaoyuan complied and stepped out of the ranks.


    Very soon, the two people entered a pill refining state.


    Yun Yuan was unable to refine heavenly imperial pills, but his strength already infinitely approached the standard of a heavenly imperial pill.


    Therefore, the difficulty of the grade two heavenly pill that he chose was also extremely high.


    This Lin Zhaoyuan��s talent was even worse than Song Minzhe according to these family heads�� understanding.


    Among these 200 over people, he could basically rank in the top ten from the bottom.


    No matter how impressive such a fellow was, it was also impossible to win, right?


    But Ye Yuan knew that Yun Yuan had kicked an iron plate!


    If Song Minzhe��s strength was ranked first place among the people that he chose, then this Lin Zhaoyuan was the one who made the greatest improvement!


    Although this boy��s talent was not as good as Song Minzhe��s, his disposition was even more tenacious than Song Minzhe��s!


    In these three months, Lin Zhaoyuan virtually practiced like he went mad.


    Under Ye Yuan��s guidance, Lin Zhaoyuan��s improvement was extremely terrifying.


    One should say that among the people he selected, Lin Zhaoyuan��s current strength could absolutely rank in the top three!


    Therefore, the result went without saying.


    Yun Yuan��s final result was middle sixth grade!


    While Lin Zhaoyuan reached a terrifying upper eighth grade!


    It was only a step away from ninth grade!


    Which was also to say that he was actually not far from heavenly imperial pills too.


    In fact, if he was lucky, he would be able to refine heavenly imperial pills too!


    This result blew the minds of all the family heads once again.


    Top ten from the bottom, defeated the second place from the top!


    Three months!


    Only three months!


    Next, those so-called geniuses that were rejected by Ye Yuan, engaged in battle one after another.


    It was just that, no matter who the opponent they picked, the final result was each so-called genius being defeated!


    These over 50 people that Ye Yuan selected, their strengths were equally terrifying!


    The more the family heads watched, the more they felt a chill in their hearts. The more they watched, the more they quaked in their boots.


    These three months of transformation could simply be said to be turning the whole world upside down!


    Those disciples who were not being valued in their families, collectively performed an astonishing great reversal three months later, trampling each and every one of those so-called genius disciples underfoot.


    Toward the end, they even somewhat could not bear to continue watching anymore.


    Too tragic to behold!


    This was also to say that the geniuses that they spent so many years and expended countless effort and resources to nurture, were all trash!


    The blow was tremendous!


    Or should they say, Ye Yuan��s means were too miraculous and could turn a bunch of trash into geniuses?


    They had no choice but to be convinced!


    ��T-Third Hall Master, since they all could make such a big improvement within three months, then the others�� improvement should be even greater! C-Can��t you take them in?�� Song Tianyang said lacking in confidence.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It��s no use! During these three months, this hall master didn��t discriminate against one and show partiality to the other! What I taught them was completely the same! But you all saw it too. The result is like this! Of course, I won��t rule out that among them, someone can strive harder after knowing humiliation and can meet my requirements. But right now, you all take them back.��

 Chapter 2675 - : Conspiracy

    Buzz!


    Song Wenhao only felt like he was struck by lightning, his head going blank at once.


    Take them back!


    What he, a proud son of heaven, obtained in the end was this!


    Sweeping a glance over, those so-called proud sons of heaven were all extremely ashamed.


    Clearly, what Ye Yuan said was right.


    In these three months, what Ye Yuan taught them was the same.


    But the result was different.


    The people that Ye Yuan pointed to, all soared to the heavens in one bound!


    The people that he did not point to, were all knocked down to the mortal world!


    It was this miraculous!


    Without this battle, no one would believe this at all.


    But now, no one doubted Ye Yuan��s eyesight anymore.


    Thud!


    Song Wenhao directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan and said in grief and indignation, ��Third Hall Master, Wenhao earnestly begs you to take me in! From today onward, I��ll definitely turn over a new leaf and listen to Lord Hall Master��s teachings respectfully!��


    No one felt surprised by Song Wenhao��s behavior.


    Ye Yuan already used his strength to prove to everyone that he was right.


    Song Tianyang secretly commended this. Song Wenhao putting down his pride might not be a bad thing.


    However, Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head as he said, ��Rivers and mountains may be changed, but it��s hard to alter a man��s nature! I��m not saying that nature can��t be changed, but it��s just that how can it be so easy? Go back. What you have to do is not to put down your pride, but it is to temper your disposition. Otherwise, it will be hard to make great accomplishments!��


    Ye Yuan had seen far too much walking from an ant until today.


    Some people would gain enlightenment overnight after experiencing a setback.


    But this sort of person was like the feather of a phoenix and horn of a Qilin, being very rare.


    The tempering of disposition was a drawn out process.


    In fact, it was even more arduous and drawn out than cultivation.


    He saw bitter remorse in Song Wenhao��s eyes. But bitter remorse could not make him grow. It could only be said to be a start.


    What Song Wenhao had to do was not to cultivate here, but it was for him to go out to the secular world and have a trial.


    With his character, even if Ye Yuan let him stay here, he would still become restless after a year or two.


    There was no way for such a person to become a truly powerful heavenly alchemist.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across the family heads�� faces and said indifferently, ��You all feel that I picked these people to deliberately sing a different tune to you, to suppress you all? You all are thinking too much. On the path of alchemy, while talent is important, the talent that I understand is different from the talent that you all understand. Only a firm heart can reach the Great Beyond. On the path of alchemy, there are no shortcuts, only bitter cultivation. Each alchemy path titan is an ascetic. The first mover is not necessarily the first to reach. One step at a time is the right way!��


    The words made everyone��s countenances change visibly.


    Even a powerhouse like Song Tianyang revealed a pondering look too.


    The Alchemy Dao understanding of peak powerhouses like them was clearly not what these juniors could compare to.


    Ye Yuan��s words contained the maxim of Great Dao and touched them deeply.


    And they also seemed to have understood why Ye Yuan chose Song Minzhe they all, and not Song Wenhao and the othersl.


    Suddenly, they also understood why the two hall masters counted on Ye Yuan so much.


    Zhao Xun previously said that he had to ask Ye Yuan for direction. Song Tianyang and the rest just treated it as a joke for them to push Ye Yuan into the spotlight.


    But looking at it now, Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao was likely even above them, these grade four heavenly alchemists!


    Otherwise, how could he refine true grade heavenly pills?


    Song Tianyang cupped his fists and gave a bow to Ye Yuan, saying, ��Many thanks for Third Hall Master��s advice; Song Tianyang received the teachings.��


    ��Many thanks for Third Hall Master��s advice!�� The family heads cupped his fists and bowed one after another.


    �� ��


    After this battle, Ye Yuan established absolute authority in Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    Even the Song and Yun two families submitted to Ye Yuan completely too.


    After Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu two people went back, they chose to enter closed-seclusion at the same time.


    Half a year later, the two people exited seclusion, and both broke through to peak grade four heavenly alchemist!


    After the two people exited seclusion, they came to Heavenly South Pill Hall straight away to pay respects to Ye Yuan.


    Originally, when they learned that Min Nanshan broke through to become a peak grade four heavenly alchemist, they did not say it out loud, but they naturally felt sour in their hearts.


    The three great families had always been competing in secret, they were naturally unwilling to be beaten.


    Who knew that in merely a short half a year��s time, they actually both broke through.


    And the cause of the breakthrough was naturally those words by Ye Yuan.


    The two of them were wholeheartedly convinced by Ye Yuan.


    In this half a year��s time, Ye Yuan and Cui Tong and the rest also established a complete reward and punishment system for Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    And the highest reward was true grade heavenly pills!


    The effects of grade two heavenly imperial pills were not worse than grade three heavenly pills to begin with.


    Even to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, it was extremely useful too, let alone talk about the true grade heavenly pills with horrifying medicinal effects.


    This reward and punishment system made Heavenly South Pill Hall��s cohesiveness reach an unprecedented height.


    The allure of true grade heavenly pills was irresistible.


    As for Song Minzhe this batch of people, their strength advanced by leaps and bounds too.


    These few people��s backgrounds were not bad. Their qualifications were extremely good in the first place.


    Coupled with Ye Yuan��s teaching, wanting to not fly would be difficult too.


    In this more than half a year, Ironcore and the Min Family had been waiting to watch a good show the whole time.


    Who would have expected that they failed to see a good show. Instead, they became more and more marginalized.


    On Ironcore��s side, he suffered overwhelming suppression from Heavenly South Pill Hall, virtually cutting off his supply of heavenly pills.


    The Min Family, although Min Nanshan reached peak grade four, there was simply no way for him to resist the entire Heavenly South Pill Hall by himself.


    The Min Family��s influence was being weakened bit by bit.


    After all, the Heavenly South Pill Hall occupied more than 90% of the Land of Heavenly South��s situation. No one dared to risk universal condemnation and offend the Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    Min Nanshan could be said to have exhausted his mind and body in this nearly one year but was powerless to turn the tables.


    The Min Family��s situation became even worse half a year ago, when Ye Yuan obtained acknowledgements from everyone.


    ��I didn��t expect that this boy actually had such means, to run the Heavenly South Pill Hall as solid as a metal bucket from top to bottom!�� Ironcore gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    ��The current Heavenly South Pill Hall is even stronger than Zhao Xun��s era! I really didn��t expect that a measly little grade two heavenly alchemist can actually do this!��


    Min Nanshan��s eyes held some regret.


    If he had long known that it would be like this, he would not have stood up back then to be the bird who took the lead.


    With regards to Ironcore this fellow, he was full of unhappiness too.


    If not for this guy��s instigation, he might not have done so back then either.


    If the Min Family stayed in Heavenly South Pill Hall too, with the Min Family��s strength, they could definitely have scaled new heights!


    Now, his Min Family was declining rapidly, while Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu caught up from behind, and broke through to become peak grade four heavenly alchemists!


    Except, there were no ifs in this world.


    At this point now, the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope. They were in it together.


    A hint of cruelty flashed across Ironcore��s eyes and he said, ��All this is because of that punk! As long as he dies, everything will return to how it was in the past!��


    Min Nanshan snorted coldly and said, ��That boy keeps hiding in Heavenly South Pill Hall. Experts are plentiful like clouds there. So how to do it?��


    A hint of cunningness was revealed in Ironcore��s eyes, and he said with a smile, ��He��ll leave very soon! The one-year period is almost up. I think that he should be departing for the Thistle South Sea Region very soon! This is our only chance!��

 Chapter 2676 - Your Men Are Actually My Men!

    ��Paying respects to Third Hall Master!��


    At Calm South City, when Huang Haoyan and Su Peiyun saw Ye Yuan, they bowed respectfully.


    Ye Yuan handed the Heavenly South Pill Hall��s affairs over to the Song and Yun, two families, as well as Cui Tong to manage, while he set off for Thistle South Sea Region.


    He entered the transmission array in Heavenly South City and arrived at Calm South City, and was setting out to sea from here.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s status was extraordinary. Calm South City naturally did not dare to be neglectful.


    It was just that, when they saw Ye Yuan alone coming out, they were still a little surprised.


    ��Master Ye, you��re actually setting out to sea alone this time?�� Huang Haoyan said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The sea race views humans as the enemy. If I bring people over, wouldn��t it be delivering lambs into the tiger��s maws?��


    Huang Haoyan said, ��But if you go over like this and the Black Flood Dragon King has the intention of harming you, what to do about it?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How can harming me be that easy?��


    Huang Haoyan��s gaze flickered and he gritted his teeth and said, ��Master Ye, although Haoyan��s strength is lacking, I��m willing to accompany you! If anything really happens, even delaying for a short while is good too.��


    ��If something really happens, how can you block for a short while? Alright, I have a score in my heart; you guys don��t need to send me off anymore.��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand, and his figure leaped, already being half a mile away.


    Huang Haoyan��s brows furrowed slightly and said, ��Peiyun, do you feel that Master Ye is behaving a little strangely?��


    Su Peiyun nodded and said, ��He��s indeed a little strange!��


    ��Let��s follow and take a look!�� Huang Haoyan said.


    �� ��


    Leaving Calm South City, Ye Yuan headed south all the way, his speed extremely fast.


    Huang Haoyan, these two Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratums, actually could not quite catch up.


    But as soon as they chased after, the two people found it even more odd.


    Ye Yuan did not walk on the main road but headed to a remote place.


    The more he walked, the fewer the people.


    Suddenly, the two of their expressions changed.


    In the mountain range��s dense woods, eight figures suddenly dashed out, blocking Ye Yuan��s path.


    Huang Haoyan��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in surprise, ��It��s Deputy City Lord Ironcore and Min Nanshan! They �� What gall they have, to actually want to kill Master Ye! No way! I have to go save him!��


    He was just about to act but was held back by Su Peiyun.


    Huang Haoyan said anxiously, ��Peiyun, what are you doing? Those are eight Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! Ironcore and Min Nanshan are even peak Jade Sovereign Heaven mighty experts!��


    Su Peiyun��s face fell and she berated, ��Shut up for me! You know that those are eight Jade Sovereign Heaven experts too! What can you do to change the situation?��


    Huang Haoyan said with a cold snort, ��This life of mine was saved by Master Ye! What��s wrong with returning it to him?��


    Su Peiyun had a look of anger from his failure to live up to expectations and whispered, ��Are you stupid? Why did Master Ye specifically go to a remote area along the way? Why didn��t he stop in Calm South City at all and directly set out to sea?��


    Huang Haoyan was taken aback. Finally, he was no longer agitated and said in surprise, ��You��re saying that Master Ye did it on purpose? He �� He knows that Ironcore and Min Nanshan want to kill him, and he deliberately lured them you? He has a contingency plan?��


    Su Peiyun rolled her eyes at him and said, ��Who is Master Ye? He could repel the entire Thistle South sea race by himself. So how could he stumble at this sort of thing? Let��s watch first. If it really doesn��t work, it won��t be too late to take action then!��


    Over there, Ironcore looked at Ye Yuan with a smug face as he smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, didn��t expect that we��d meet here, right?!��


    A faintly perceptible smile hung on Ye Yuan��s face and he said, ��If I say that I thought of it?��


    Ironcore was taken aback and laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, death is knocking at the door and you��re still forcing yourself to be calm? It��s no use, you must die today!��


    Min Nanshan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a dead person as he said coldly, ��Ye Yuan, you caused my Min Family to live a life worse than death. Today, it��s time for retribution!��


    These two people had also heard about it. Ye Yuan was not easy to deal with.


    Therefore, they were very careful, directly bringing six Jade Sovereign Heaven experts.


    It was to make sure that there was no danger of anything going wrong.


    Mobilizing eight Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses to deal with a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, it was an act probably unprecedented in the Land of Heavenly South.


    Furthermore, none of these eight was a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven expert!


    These people were middle Jade Sovereign Heavens at the worst too.


    Ironcore and Min Nanshan themselves were grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven super powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he smiled and said, ��Let me guess. From Heavenly South Pill Hall, only Cui Tong, Wu Dao, and Ji Chun, these three elders, know that I came out, as well as Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu. Song Tianyang and Yun Baiyu have long already broken away from you guys. Cui Tong enjoys a high prestige and commands universal respect, while Wu Dao is an alchemy fanatic and is disdainful to be associated with you guys. Which is also to say that, your source of information is Ji Chun.��


    Ye Yuan took his time to analyze. Ironcore and Min Nanshan two people��s expressions changed wildly.


    Could it be that this boy knew about it a long time ago?


    But, if he knew, why would he still walk right into the trap?


    Ye Yuan guessed it completely right. Ji Chun was originally the inside man that Ironcore planted in Heavenly South Pill Hall.


    It was just that this layer of relationship was very secretive, no one knew about it at all.


    There were some who knew that Ye Yuan would be going out to sea.


    But no one knew the specifics of when Ye Yuan would leave.


    This time, Ye Yuan came out very low-key, there were only those few people who knew.


    As long as he analyzed it a little, he would know.


    Ironcore smiled coldly and said, ��So what if you know? Could it be that you, by yourself, can escape from our hands?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who told you that I came alone?��


    When Ironcore and the rest heard that, their expressions changed wildly!


    However, they sensed carefully, there was no aura of any powerhouses in the vicinity at all.


    Ironcore could not help turning angry from embarrassment and said, ��Punk, you were messing with us?��


    But Min Nanshan smiled coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, I��ll give you the chance. Call your men out!��


    Ye Yuan looked at the two and still smiled calmly as he said, ��Do you all think that I only know that it��s Ji Chun after I saw you guys? I think that you guys are mistaken. Ironcore, do you know why I specially chose to go to remote places after I went out of the city? Do you know why I left Heavenly South City by myself?��


    The more Ye Yuan said, the more alarmed Ironcore two people became.


    Yeah, all these did not make sense!


    Ye Yuan smiled as he continued, ��If I say that I deliberately leaked the news to make you all pursue me, will you all believe me or not? If I say that your men are actually my men, will you be very angry?��


    ��Bullshit! Ji Chun is this city lord��s man! He absolutely won��t betray me!�� Ironcore said angrily.


    Ye Yuan still smiled as he said, ��That��s in the past. Now, he��s my man already!��


    In this one year, the transformation that Ye Yuan brought to Heavenly South Pill Hall could be said to be turning it upside down.


    In the wake of Ye Yuan running the Heavenly South Pill Hall solid as a metal bucket, all kinds of problems also gradually surfaced.


    Ji Chun was one of them.


    Actually, how could Ironcore be the only one who planted chess pieces in Heavenly South Pill Hall?


    Three great families as well as those major and minor noble families, even the various major city lords, which one did not want to get a share of the loot in Heavenly South Pill Hall?


    But what Ye Yuan brought to Heavenly South Pill Hall was what others could never give!


    Ye Yuan had long detected Ji Chun��s abnormality, but he did not execute Ji Chun. Instead, he guided Ji Chun on cultivation.


    Because he discovered that Ji Chun was someone who yearned for Dao too!


    He had always been waiting, waiting for Ji Chun to come out himself!


    Sure enough, not long ago, Ji Chun confided to Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2677 - Watersource Canopy!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Ironcore, don��t talk nonsense with him anymore! Do it!�� Min Nanshan said in a solemn voice.


    No idea why; Ye Yuan was clearly all alone right now, but he was very uneasy in his heart.


    Ironcore had clearly sensed this uneasiness too; his expression turned dark as he said, ��Humph! Even if Ji Chun betrayed me, you��ll find it hard to escape death today too! Go to hell!��


    At virtually the same time, eight great Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses attacked at the same time.


    The commotion was shocking to the extreme.


    However, Ye Yuan did not show the slightest fear under the besiegement of eight great Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    He took out a small and exquisite conch and recited a spell.


    Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    A water curtain suddenly descended, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.


    More than a dozen figures actually appeared out of thin air!


    Each and every one of these people had odd forms. They were clearly sea creatures.


    True spirit sea race!


    These dozen over powerhouses were actually all Jade Sovereign Heavens too!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    A series of intense tremors rippled in the void.The attacks of the eight great Jade Sovereign Heavens were actually disrupted in an instant.


    ��Hehe, it��s so fun! Big Brother Ye Yuan, thank you for bringing me out to play!��


    A crisp and tender voice sounded out, who could it be if not Little Dragon Girl Jingfei?


    The small conch in Ye Yuan��s hands was given to him before Little Dragon Girl left.


    This little conch was the derivative body of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch and was used to transmit information.


    Of course, it could be used to teleport in Ye Yuan��s hands too!


    Just now, Ye Yuan activated the small conch and directly teleported the Emerald Sea Divine Conch over.


    While Little Dragon Girl used the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to bring these people and teleported over together.


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black, and he said unhappily, ��Somebody wants to kill me right now. But you actually think that it��s fun!��


    Little Dragon Girl smiled and said, ��Of course! You take a look at the expressions on their faces. It��s really fun to the max!��


    Shock and horror were written all over the faces of the eight great Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    Jade Sovereign Heavens powerhouses were able to fly, but they could not shuttle through the void.


    This kind of instant teleportation means was simply unimaginable.


    But Ye Yuan actually summoned so many Jade Sovereign Heaven seafolk in an instant. So how could they not be surprised?


    ��Ye Yuan, you actually dare to collude with the sea race and have evil designs on our Heavenly South!�� Ironcore��s expression changed wildly and he asked.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at a fool as he smiled and said, ��Did you turn stupid from being the city lord? If I had evil designs on Heavenly South, wouldn��t I just not need to do anything when the sea race invaded back then? Did I have to make it so troublesome like now? Are you not aware of what I��ve done in this one year? Me increasing Heavenly South alchemy path��s strength, what benefits are there to the sea race?��


    Ironcore gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Who knows what the hell you��re thinking?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, ��Looks like there��s nothing to discuss with a fool like you.��


    Ironcore sneered and said, ��Even if there��s the sea race helping you, what can you do to me? This city lord is a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. They can��t keep me behind! However, with this incident today, this city lord wants to see how you��ll continue staying on in Heavenly South City!��


    Grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, this was virtually Rainclear Continent��s apex strength already.


    In ordinary battles, wanting to kill grand completion Jade Sovereign Heavens was seriously too difficult.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a faint smile, ��Want to leave? I��m afraid that it won��t be easy! Did you forget? When Little Dragon Girl and I joined forces, our strength was even stronger than you, this grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven!��


    Back then, when Ye Yuan joined forces with Little Dragon Girl, they beat Ironcore until he knelt down and begged for mercy by relying on the power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    This scene left a huge shadow in Ironcore��s heart.


    At present, Ye Yuan and Little Dragon Girl joining as one again. It would be equivalent to a powerhouse who surpassed grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven appeared once more.


    How could he, Ironcore, not be alarmed?


    ��Retreat!��


    Ironcore bellowed loudly, his figure turning into an afterimage and flew into the distance.


    ��Hehe, only thinking of running now! It��s too late! Watersource Canopy!��


    Just as Ironcore acted, Little Dragon Girl moved too!


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch suddenly activated. An enormous cubic water curtain covered the entire sky.


    In an instant, everyone was enveloped inside.


    Ironcore��s figure had just moved but felt like he had fallen into a quagmire, his speed unable to pick up at all.


    But, as soon as this water curtain descended, those sea race powerhouses seemed to have been injected with stimulants, becoming even more excited.


    Sure enough, they were much more comfortable in the water!


    ��Big Brother, my power alone isn��t enough to trap them! Come and help me!�� Little Dragon Girl shouted.


    Ye Yuan had long prepared, directly pressing a palm on the back of Little Dragon Girl.


    The berserk true dragon power rushed in. The range of the Watersource Canopy directly doubled!


    But the resistance felt by Ironcore and his group increased several times!


    This Watersource Canopy was equivalent to a giant cage.


    Furthermore, it enhanced the seafolk��s condition to 120% but weakened the conditions of Heavenly South powerhouses.


    Increasing one��s strength and reducing the opponent��s strength.


    This was simply a huge trump card!


    Seeing this kind of power, even Ye Yuan could not resist marveling too. This Emerald Sea Divine Conch had endless wonders.


    While on the sea race powerhouses this side, they were incomparably shocked too.


    Among the sea race powerhouses, Ye Yuan was very familiar with one of them. It was precisely that moronic black shark general.


    The black shark exclaimed, ��Tsk tsk, I really didn��t expect that you, a human, actually possess a true dragon power several times stronger than that of the princess, simply unimaginable!��


    He did not exclaim with amazement because of this Watersource Canopy but exclaimed for Ye Yuan��s true dragon power.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was even lower than Little Dragon Girl��s. In the end, the moment he inputted his true dragon power, the canopy suddenly doubled in size.


    They had never seen before such a vigorous true dragon power.


    ��You moron, stop talking rubbish already. Why haven��t you quickly made a move?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan did not have a good impression of this idiot.


    ��You!�� The black shark glared and was about to fly off the handle.


    ��My goodness, Uncle Black Shark, my strength is limited and can��t hold on for too long. Why don��t you hurry up?��


    The moment Little Dragon Girl spoke up, the black shark immediately reined back his temper.


    The moment the black shark made his move, it was immediately earth-shattering!


    In this water curtain, with the augmentation of true dragon power, he seemed to have returned to his mother��s womb.


    That sort of power was simply endless.


    Numbers, strength, both parties were not on the same level at all.


    The battle also progressed extremely smoothly.


    After several exchanges, Ironcore��s side was beaten until they did not have the slightest strength to fight back.


    ��Ye Yuan, we��re all humans! Do you really want to exterminate everyone?�� In the water curtain, came Min Nanshan��s desperate yell.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Know that we��re of the same species now? If I didn��t have a backup plan, would you guys show mercy to me today? What��s the point of saying these on your deathbed? Moron, don��t need to show mercy, kill!��


    ��Heh heh, alright!��


    The black shark moron was excited from killing and did not haggle over Ye Yuan��s term of address either.


    The sea race was warlike to begin with. The shark clan was even warriors among warriors.


    Killing Heavenly South��s Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses was incomparably delightful to him.


    Under the joined forces of more than a dozen people, the Heavenly South��s side had little strength to fight back,


    In less than an hour, the Heavenly South side��s powerhouses only had the Ironcore and Min Nanshan who were lingering on with their last breath of life remaining..

 Chapter 2678 - Drawing Aggro

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Ye Yuan, I was wrong! I was really wrong! Spare me! I��ll definitely slog like an animal for you in the future and repay your kindness for not killing me!�� In the water curtain, came Ironcore��s pleading voice.


    That voice was practically crying.


    From that time he knelt and begged for mercy, one could tell that Ironcore��s desire to live was still very strong.


    ��Ye Yuan, as long as you let me off, my Min Family will follow your lead in the future!�� Min Nanshan did not want to die too as he shouted.


    ��Right, right, right! Ye Yuan, my people are not the slightest bit weaker than the Min Family! As long as you spare my life, it��s all yours!�� Ironcore hurriedly said.


    Ye Yuan��s thoughts stirred and he said coolly, ��Hand over your origin divinity brands and I can spare you guys from death!��


    He needed a powerful force currently. Two grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven��s forces were definitely a big help.


    Although these two people had poor character, as long as he grasped the origin divinity brand, he could take their lives with one thought.


    The two of them would hesitate to take action out of fear of damages and naturally would not dare to rebel.


    When Ironcore and Min Nanshan heard that, their expressions could not help changing.


    Handing over the origin divinity brand was equivalent to handing over life and death to Ye Yuan��s hands.


    Ye Yuan could kill them with just one thought, this was no different from being a slave.


    But if they did not hand it over, they were very clear that they would become corpses in a short while.


    ��You guys only have three breaths of time to consider!�� Seeing the two hesitate, Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ironcore��s expression changed wildly, and he said, ��I��ll give! I��ll give!��


    Min Nanshan also said, ��I��ll give too!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly and said coolly, ��Moron, stop!��


    The black shark was excited from killing and said unhappily, ��Your Father is a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, but you��re actually ordering me about. Do you take yourself to be the dragon son?��


    But Little Dragon Girl said, ��Big Brother is in possession of purebred dragon blood. Those big brothers of mine are far worse than him! Alright, Uncle Black Shark, stop!��


    This lass obeyed Ye Yuan��s every word now.


    The black shark was helpless and could only stop.


    Ironcore��s expression flickered indeterminately, and he finally still gritted his teeth and forced a wisp of origin divinity brand out.


    Ye Yuan kept the origin divinity brand and merged it into his own chaos origin divinity, and immediately felt a feeling of controlling Ironcore��s life and death.


    He only needed a thought to determine Ironcore��s life and death now!


    Handing over the origin divinity brand, the two people��s expressions were like their wives had died.


    No matter what, they were big shots of a region too. Now, they were actually relegated to being another person��s slave.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The two of you don��t need to have this expression either. Becoming my servant might be a case of good fortune to you guys. As long as you guys perform well, helping you all step into Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future is nothing difficult.��


    ��Hah! What high-sounding sentiments! Do you think that Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses are all cabbages?�� Ye Yuan��s voice had just faded when the black shark said mockingly.


    But Ironcore and Min Nanshan two people trembled all over, their eyes revealing rays of brilliant light.


    If someone else said this, they would naturally feel that it was bullshit.


    But Ye Yuan was different!


    He was the man who could refine true grade heavenly pills!


    That��s right. His current realm was very low, but his future potential was immense!


    Once he became a grade four heavenly alchemist, helping them step into that dreamlike realm might not be impossible!


    ��What the hell do you know! How can Master��s strength be what you can surmise? Master, rest assured. Ironcore will definitely perform well from now on and absolutely won��t let you down!�� Ironcore shot the black shark a glare and said respectfully.


    ��Min Nanshan is willing to pledge loyalty to Master!��


    The black shark had a dumbfounded look, not knowing why these two people suddenly changed so much.


    Could it be that these two Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were really silly enough to think that Saint Sovereign Heaven was so easy to reach?


    If that was the case, how could the Saint Sovereign Heavens on this Rainclear Continent be so scarce?


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Since that��s the case, the two of you go back then. How you should act, I believe that you guys are very clear.��


    ��Got it! Got it!�� The two people hurriedly said.


    At this time, Ye Yuan suddenly looked in Huang Haoyan two people��s direction and beckoned his hands at them.


    The two were taken aback, only then, knowing that their whereabouts had long already been seen through by Ye Yuan.


    ��Master Ye, we ����


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��No need to explain. I know your intentions. The two of you follow them back to Heavenly South City. If they have any ill-intent, use this to inform me.��


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan handed a small conch to them.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s line-up, Huang Haoyan two people were long already dumbstruck with amazement.


    Only when they saw the seafolk did they know that their worries were simply unnecessary.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually took two grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in as servants. This sort of thing was too fantastical.


    But Ye Yuan did it.


    However, Ye Yuan was clearly still worried about them. So he sent two supervisors over.


    With the two of them around, Ironcore and Min Nanshan naturally could not stir any waves.


    As long as Huang Haoyan informed Ye Yuan through the small conch, Ye Yuan could disintegrate the two of their souls from thousands of miles away.


    �� ��


    In the deep sea, a huge palace was suspended in the center.


    All around them were unfathomable grand arrays surrounding.


    Thistle South Dragon Palace!


    When Ye Yuan entered the dragon palace, he discovered that something was not quite right.


    The palace was full of songs and dance, with a bevy of young girls. It was very lively.


    Ye Yuan did not feel that he had this charm, to make Black Flood Dragon King come up with such a grand array to entertain him.


    ��Jingfei, could it be that there��s some distinguished guest in the dragon palace?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Jingfei smiled mysteriously and said, ��Hehe, you come with me and you��ll know in a bit.��


    Ye Yuan was speechless. Judging from this girl��s sly expression, he knew that she was probably holding in some bad idea.


    Following Little Dragon Girl, Ye Yuan walked all the way to a great hall.


    Upon entering the hall, a banquet was already being held inside.


    As soon as Ye Yuan appeared, he immediately attracted everyone��s attention.


    In the center of the great hall, on the throne, a powerhouse with a dragon head and human body was sitting upright.


    His face was completely black.


    Presumably, this was the legendary Black Flood Dragon King.


    This Black Flood Dragon King gave Ye Yuan a vague and illusory feeling, similar to the black-robed old man back then.


    It was just that Black Flood Dragon King��s illusory feeling was not as strong as the old man��s.


    Clearly, he had not truly stepped into the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven yet!


    ��Royal Father, Royal Mother, I��m back!�� Little Dragon Girl left Ye Yuan and scurried into Black Flood Dragon King��s arms in a step.


    Black Flood Dragon King snorted coldly and said, ��You lass, you abducted all of my generals. Where did you run to and cause trouble again?��


    Little Dragon Girl was indifferent and said smilingly, ��Hehe, there were bad guys who wanted to kill Big Brother, so I went to help Big Brother! Oh, right! He��s the big brother that I told you about. He��s amazing! Probably none of these big brothers present are more impressive than him!��


    Ye Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, countless gazes shooting towards him.


    In this great hall, there were many young men. One look and it was clear that they had noble statuses. They were most likely sea race powerhouses.


    This girl��s one sentence drew huge aggro to him!


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Dragon Girl, only to see her wink at him. It was as if she was saying, ��That��s right.. I did it on purpose!��

 Chapter 2679 - What She Said is Correct!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    At the left-hand side position, a youth said with a disdainful look, ��A mere Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, and he��s even a human! This young master can crush him to death with just one hand! Younger Sister Jingfei, stop joking!��


    However, his words to Little Dragon Girl were rather polite.


    ��Big Brother Ruichen, Jingfei isn��t joking! Big Brother Ye Yuan is really very, very amazing! You��re not his match!��Jingfei said with a sincere look.


    That innocent face shattered Ruichen��s self-esteem at once.


    Who was he, Ruichen?


    He was from the Si Ning Sea Region��s royal clan. His main body was an octopus and his status was noble. His strength was not the slightest bit weaker than the dragon race!


    Today, he was actually being looked down upon by a little girl!


    He suddenly stood up, walked in front of Ye Yuan, and said with a sneer, ��Lowly human, do you dare to accept this young master��s challenge? If you don��t dare, immediately scram back onto land!��


    Ye Yuan had a helpless look as he said coolly, ��Can I refuse?��


    He was naturally not afraid. It was just that he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.


    This young man was clearly that sort of guy who had his eyes growing on top of his head.


    There was no need to try and gain back face with him.


    But Ruichen clearly had no intention of letting Ye Yuan off and said with a cold smile, ��Of course, you can refuse. But you��ll need to crawl under my crotch!��


    ��Hahaha, yeah, just go under Ruichen��s crotch and that��s it!��


    ��Relax, this dragon son will be your guarantor! If he dares to make things difficult for you, this dragon son will be the first to not let him off!��


    ��Come, crawl!��


    �� ��


    Ruichen��s words immediately aroused echoing of the others at the banquet.


    Clearly, they all thought that Ye Yuan was scared.


    Little Dragon Girl��s words could not be believed at all.


    That made sense. This girl rarely spoke any truths.


    It was also not impossible to randomly find a human to adjust the atmosphere.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean that he was scared of trouble.


    ��Why? Looking at your appearance, it seems like you��re very unconvinced? Do you really think that just because Younger Sister Jingfei is calling you as her big brother, you really have the qualifications to be on equal footing with this young master? You��re merely a lowly human!�� Ruichen said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan grinned and all of a sudden, sword light flashed.


    Whoosh!


    Ruichen��s expression changed wildly, only to feel an extremely dangerous sensation well up in his heart.


    Swoosh!


    In virtually an instant, Ruichen returned to his original form and spat out a cloud of black ink.


    The entire space suddenly became black.


    Then, eight tentacles suddenly emerged from the darkness, wanting to deal with Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care at all, directly deploying the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree��s two streaks of sword light.


    ��Break for me!��


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly. That black space actually directly had a large hole opened up!


    Ruichen spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood with a cough, directly being smashed flying out.


    His eight tentacles were directly all cut off!


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    From Ye Yuan attacking to Rui Chen spitting black ink, then to Ye Yuan shattering the space, the whole process was merely one breath of time.


    This was also to say that Ruichen did not even last a single breath of time!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan only used one hand from beginning to end!


    Ye Yuan looked at the Ruichen lying on the ground and said coolly, ��Didn��t you say that you could crush me to death with just one hand? Now, you used eight hands, but I �� only used one hand.��


    Ruichen lied on the ground, quivering non-stop. Very soon, the tentacles that were chopped off actually grew back again, and he recovered to his human form.


    However, he looked at Ye Yuan with a fearful look and said, ��P-Punk, you sneak attacked me just now!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Oh, it was a sneak attack? Alright, let��s have an upright and aboveboard battle then. The loser will crawl under the other party��s crotch, how about it?��


    Ruichen��s expression changed wildly and he actually did not dare to play along.


    He was only being stubborn just now. Just based on that sword earlier, Ye Yuan��s strength was god knows how many times stronger than him!


    His darkness ink was his ultimate trump card, but it was broken by Ye Yuan in a single breath.


    How large the gap between the two could be seen!


    ��This human punk is actually a transformation powerhouse!��


    ��Ruichen actually couldn��t last a single move under his hands!��


    ��With this, Ruichen��s face is utterly lost! He actually lost to a human!��


    �� ��


    It was only at this time did those young powerhouses come back to their senses. Each and every one of them was extremely amazed.


    They discovered that this human boy was really very strong!


    Even a hint of surprise flashed across in Black Flood Dragon King��s eyes too.


    How could he not know what Little Dragon Girl was thinking? But he did not stop it.


    He really wanted to see just how strong this human who stopped the sea war was.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan did not disappoint him!


    Ye Yuan��s strength far surpassed those in the same rank!


    Furthermore, he clearly saw it just now. There were eight leaves on Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation sapling.


    But Ye Yuan only used two!


    This showed that Ye Yuan still had a lot of strength to spare!


    This boy was remarkable!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over everyone��s faces and he said coolly, ��Refusing earlier wasn��t because I was scared, but that I couldn��t be bothered to stoop to his level. Just now, Jingfei said that I��m stronger than you all, but you guys didn��t seem to be convinced. Since I��ve already taken action, this Ye doesn��t mind telling you all this; what she said is completely right! With all due respect, everyone here �� is all trash!��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of the young powerhouses present were full of indignation.


    This boy actually dared to slight all of them!


    ��Ha, what high-sounding sentiments! Do you think that having defeating Ruichen, you have the qualifications to be cocky here?��


    ��Boy, don��t be arrogant!��


    ��Big Brother Muchen, this punk has scolded even you. Could it be that you can tolerate it?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan making a move earlier already shocked the vast majority of the people.


    They naturally did not dare to challenge Ye Yuan, but it did not mean that everyone was scared of Ye Yuan.


    Among these people, there were some whose strength already reached middle Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    Furthermore, there were a few among them whose bloodline power was extremely strong and did not fear Ye Yuan at all.


    At this time, that person called Muchen finally stepped forward.


    ��Boy, do you think that only you alone comprehended Great Dao Transformation? My sea race territory isn��t the place where it is your turn, a human��s turn, to come and act wildly yet! This dragon son will challenge you right now!�� Muchen said with a cold smile.


    Muchen possessed the dragon race bloodline too, but he belonged to the coiling dragon clan.


    His strength was considered to be top-notch among this large group of people.


    To dare say this, Muchen was clearly a powerhouse who comprehended Great Dao Transformation too.


    However, what did Ye Yuan have to fear?


    ��Oh? Whether it��s my turn or not, it��s not said using the mouth!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan pointed his fingers, two transformed swords turned into two rays of flowing light, stabbing straight for Muchen.


    Muchen snorted coldly, an additional chain appeared in his hands.


    This chain emitted an aura that made people feel heart palpitations. It was actually transformed out of lightning!


    Lightning chain!


    Muchen shook the lightning chain gently, directly shaking Ye Yuan��s two flying swords away.


    His cultivation realm was far higher than Ye Yuan and he was a transformation powerhouse too. Wanting to block the two flying swords was naturally a cinch.


    Following that, he swept his chain, and it actually wrapped over toward Ye Yuan..

 Chapter 2680 - A Bunch of Pseudo-dragons!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heh, this punk really doesn��t know how the word death is written, to actually dare fight with Muchen!��


    ��Muchen is strong enough to rank in the top 20 in our seven great royal clans�� junior generation!��


    ��Ignorant human! Think that he��s impressive for comprehending Great Dao Transformation? Muchen��s lightning chain is an extremely profound application of lightning rule. So how can it be what a mere human can compare to?��


    �� ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan attack, the group of young powerhouses all had disdainful faces.


    Similarly a transformation powerhouse, but Ye Yuan was a major cultivation realm lower. This was tantamount to seeking death.


    However, these two people��s commotion was huge. A single mishap and it would demolish the great hall.


    Black Flood Dragon King extended his hand and beckoned, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch came into his hand.


    Only to see him silently recite a spell, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch flew to the sky above the hall and emitted a light screen, covering Ye Yuan two people.


    A temporary ring was created just like that.


    However, before this light cover had formed, eight flying swords arrived with a howl.


    The sword lights burst forth and actually directly severed the lightning chain!


    ��Pffft!��


    Muchen was directly blasted flying!


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied again.


    They all did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually still hiding so much strength!


    With the eight transformed flying swords attacking, that attack power was simply akin to the distance between heaven and earth when compared to two.


    In a couple of exchanges, Muchen was taken down.


    The temporary ring that Black Flood Dragon King set up actually ended up useless.


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum instantly defeating a middle Limitless Sublime Heaven, this sort of thing simply subverted their understanding.


    The people who were still mocking Ye Yuan earlier directly chose to shut up.


    ��Great Dao Transformation is naturally not invincible, but your Great Dao Transformation is a little too weak,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Muchen��s Great Dao Transformation was just a one law transformation. Furthermore, it even stopped at the second form, it was not considered very impressible.


    This meant that his cultivation realm had gone up, but his power of rule still stayed at Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Want to say that it was impressive, it was also considered impressive. But, compared to Ye Yuan, it was far too lacking.


    ��Hehehe, I already said it, Big Brother Ye Yuan is very amazing! Big Brother Youqing, do you want to fight with him?��


    Seeing that Mucheng was defeated, Little Dragon Girl was watching the show and did not find that the problem caused was too big, and she said those words to another young man seated on the left-hand side.


    This young man had been drinking by himself all along and was not as agitated as the others.


    From beginning to end, it was as if everything here had nothing to do with him.


    Seeing Little Dragon Girl ask, he smiled and said, ��Just a bunch of ants, that��s all; not worthy of me taking action. Younger Sister Jingfei, don��t make trouble.��


    These words did not show any regard for Ye Yuan at all.


    But Little Dragon Girl turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, Big Brother Youqing is the most impressive one here! If you want to convince all of them, you��ll have to beat him down! Why don��t the two of you compete?��


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You lass, that��s about enough. It looks like you��re asking for a beating again!��


    Little Dragon Girl stuck her tongue out and said with a giggle, ��Royal Father is here. I��m not scared of you!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��If you continue messing around, I��ll be leaving!��


    Little Dragon Girl was finally defeated and hurriedly said, ��Big Brother, don��t go! I��ll stop messing around, alright? I��m so bored in this dragon palace!��


    This girl purely had the mentality of playing pranks.


    But, each and every one of these sea race young powerhouses, they were all arrogant at heart and haughty in manner.


    They clearly knew that Jingfei was sowing discord, but they just could not resist provoking Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered to pay attention to this kind of provocation. Even if he was being looked down upon, he did not care either.


    With his current state of mind, why would he care about how others viewed him?


    It was just that, they could look down on him, but they could not humiliate him.


    These young powerhouses�� words were very nasty earlier; that was why Ye Yuan would be so domineering.


    This Youqing did not take part from beginning to end, Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered to haggle over it with him.


    As for looking down on people, that was your business, what had it got to do with me.


    Moreover, Ye Yuan had a million ways to kill a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Seeing Little Dragon Girl��s attitude, the rest were all dumbfounded.


    In fact, they were even more shocked than him defeating Muchen.


    Jingfei this troublemaker did not just cause trouble in the Thistle South Sea Region.


    In these seven great sea regions, which one had not been harmed by her before?


    This lass made light of even Black Flood Dragon King, and yet she was actually so obedient to a human youth?


    ��Goodness gracious, was this young master hallucinating just now?��


    ��Jingfei this girl actually also knows to be afraid of people?��


    ��Strange! Peculiar! Could it be that the sun will rise from the west today?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan ignored the other people��s gazes and went straight up and said to Black Flood Dragon King coolly, ��Black Flood Dragon King, your welcoming ceremony is really grand enough!��


    With regards to Black Flood Dragon King��s attitude of staying out of it just now, Ye Yuan could understand, but he was not happy.


    Therefore, he naturally did not have any good attitude.


    It was just that when the others saw his attitude, each and every one of them, they flew into a great rage.


    ��Impudent! A mere human actually dares to be disrespectful to the Dragon King!��


    ��Who the hell do you think you dare, to actually dare directly the Dragon Lord��s name directly!��


    When all of them on the right side and the left side heard this, they immediately scolded him.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said disdainfully, ��Dragon Lord? Huhu, a black flood dragon attaining Dao also dares to call himself Dragon Lord? In this vast ocean, there��s probably no true dragon, right? This results in you all, these pseudo-dragons, to call yourselves as dragon lords!��


    Although Ye Yuan was an ascender, he was an orthodox true dragon descendant.


    Before ascending, his bloodline power was cultivated to the extreme too.


    After ascending, his fleshy body similarly ascended to Heavenly Stratum!


    Hence, although he was a human, he was indeed a dragon race true spirit too!


    It was also precisely because of this that his true dragon power would be so vigorous.


    As for those present, regardless of whether it was the black flood dragon clan or the coiling dragon clan, they were all pseudo-dragons.


    Compared to the purity of Ye Yuan��s bloodline, it was worlds apart.


    Speaking of bloodline power, the strongest among them was still Little Dragon Girl Jingfei.


    It was just that Jingfei was likewise unbelievably weak in front of Ye Yuan.


    This was still under the circumstances that Ye Yuan was only Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Once Ye Yuan broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, his true dragon power would be strengthened again.


    Black Flood Dragon King did not have much reaction to Ye Yuan��s words, but Youqing��s eyelids jumped.


    Clearly, these words had triggered him.


    Even though Ye Yuan��s words were not directed at him.


    ��Huhu, such high-sounding sentiments! A mere human also dares to be presumptuous about my dragon race? Who the hell do you think you are?�� Youqing said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and still looked right at Black Flood Dragon King.


    Youqing��s eyelids throbbed, fury looming between his eyebrows.


    Clearly, he was genuinely enraged.


    Previously, he did not care about Ye Yuan��s words at all. That was because, in his eyes, Ye Yuan was just an ant and not worthy of him getting angry at all.


    But ��pseudo-dragon�� this term deeply triggered him.


    This was not just something that was his biggest taboo; it was also the thing that was the greatest taboo in the seven great sea regions.


    Among the seven great royal clans, there were four great royal clans that belonged to pseudo-dragons.


    Evolving into a true dragon one day was their greatest wish.


    Except, this step was far too difficult!


    Even if they stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven, they would not be able to achieve this step either.


    Ye Yuan��s words were only spoken to ridicule Black Flood Dragon King, but he did not know that he had already committed a taboo.


    Of course, even if he knew, he would not care either..

 Chapter 2681 - : Dragon Qi Stone!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Punk, I��m talking to you! Are you deaf?�� Youqing said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a sincere expression, ��Sorry about it, looks like my words earlier hurt you. But what��s wrong with what I said? You guys are just a bunch of pseudo-dragons!��


    When Youqing heard the first half of the sentence, the words were still gentle.


    But, when it reached the second half of the sentence, Youqing immediately had a feeling of being played.


    He flew into a great rage and said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you��re courting death here! How can my Dragon Clan��s affairs be butted into by an outsider? Dragon Lord, don��t blame this little nephew for being unbridled today!��


    Youqing was just about to fly off the handle when Black Flood Dragon King finally opened his mouth at this time.


    ��Honorable Nephew Youqing, he isn��t an outsider! There��s dragon race bloodline in Ye Yuan��s body too! Furthermore, it��s extremely powerful!�� Black Flood Dragon King said with a bitter smile.


    ��What?! How can he, a human, has the dragon race bloodline?��


    ��What a joke! How strong can extremely powerful be? It couldn��t be to the extent of being even stronger than Younger Sister Jingfei, right?��


    ��I understand, this boy must have fused dragon race bloodline! To talk about pseudo-dragons, he��s the real pseudo-dragon, right?��


    �� ��


    Black Flood Dragon King��s words made the crowd burst into an uproar again.


    Only then did many young powerhouses realize that it was not that the Black Flood Dragon King did not get angry, but that he could not get angry.


    But how could Youqing be willing to believe it?


    He smiled coldly and said, ��Extremely powerful? Huhu, how strong? I was wondering how much confidence you had. It turns out that what you��re relying on is this! A human fusing with bloodline, it��s merely blindly copying others and making yourself look foolish!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��How strong? At least stronger than you! Blindly copying others and making myself look foolish? Huhu, copying you?��


    Ye Yuan knew that his bloodline power was far stronger than Jingfei��s.


    He did not know how strong his bloodline was, but it was definitely at least much stronger than these pseudo-dragons!


    He still had this bit of confidence.


    But these words became a joke when they landed in Youqing��s ears.


    A human was flaunting his bloodline power in front of him, this member of the dragon race.


    What was this if not a joke?


    ��Stronger than me? Boy, you��re really not scared of spraining your tongue from talking big! Since you say that, I want to see just how strong your bloodline power is!��


    Youqing gave a bow to Black Flood Dragon King and said, ��Dragon Lord, please bring up the Dragon Qi Stone.��


    The moment Little Dragon Girl heard, she immediately clapped her hands and said cheerfully, ��Alright, alright! I also want to see how strong Big Brother Ye Yuan��s dragon qi is!��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard it and asked Little Dragon Girl, ��What is the Dragon Qi Stone?��


    He did not know much about the sea race and naturally did not know about the stuff here.


    Little Dragon Girl explained, ��Dragon Qi Stone is a stone that tests bloodline power. Our seven great sea regions�� dragon clans will all use it to test the dragon qi. A high dragon qi indicates that one has great potential and has the potential to become a true dragon. Of course, my dragon qi has already reached the fifth segment. It��s about the same as Father��s! Among all the big brothers present, no one is stronger than me!��


    Talking towards the end, Little Dragon Girl unwittingly showed off a little.


    It was precisely because her dragon qi was extremely strong. Hence, her position in the seven seas was very aloof.


    After all, this one had the potential to step into a true dragon!


    If the seven great sea regions could produce a true dragon, that would absolutely be a great honor!


    Therefore, even if this girlie was a troublemaker, everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak up as well.


    In the sea race, these pseudo-dragons had an extreme, perverse pursuit for bloodline power.


    The goal that they strive lifelong toward was becoming a true dragon.


    It was just a pity that no one had ever succeeded.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s blank appearance, Youqing smiled coldly and said, ��Boy, scared? This Dragon Qi Stone will reveal your true colors!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��How about this then? Let��s compete in this dragon qi! Whoever loses, will kneel to the other person. How about it?��


    The moment Youqing heard those words, he sneered and said, ��Compete then! Will I be scared of you? Speaking of which, this young master hasn��t tested my dragon qi in a long time too!��


    When he said this, Youqing had a haughty look.


    Clearly, he was very confident in his dragon qi.


    Among the powerhouses present, apart from Black Flood Dragon King and Little Dragon Girl, there was probably no one stronger than him!


    Sure enough, when he said that, many people used eyes like looking at a fool to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��Huhu, this boy actually dares to compete in dragon qi with Youqing, does his brains have holes? Youqing��s dragon qi has already reached the fourth segment a hundred years ago! Now, it has at least reached the middle-stage fourth segment too!��


    ��I admit that this boy is a genius in martial arts. But that��s all. Can��t even see through this point and yet he actually dares to provoke Youqing!��


    ��Before Sister Jingfei was born, Youqing was publicly recognized as the most promising genius to become a true dragon!��


    �� ��


    In the eyes of these people, Little Dragon Girl was already an extreme.


    Youqing was just slightly inferior to her.


    Competing in dragon qi with Youqing, this was no different from committing suicide.


    Very soon, a two-person tall stone pillar was carried in by two Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    This stone pillar was made of jade. He did not know what material it was made of either.


    However, it made the bloodline within Ye Yuan��s body have a feeling of boiling over.


    Dragon Qi Stone had nine sections, representing the nine segments of dragon qi.


    That appearance was like a nine-section whip that was erected.


    Youqing looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Boy, you first? Or am I going first?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You first then. If I go first, I reckon that you��ll become embarrassed to do it.��


    Youqing sneered and said, ��Keep pretending! I��ll see when you can pretend until!��


    As he said, he walked straight in front of the Dragon Qi Stone.


    Boom!


    A vigorous true dragon power erupted in an instant!


    The young powerhouses present let out a series of exclamations.


    Clearly, Youqing��s true dragon power gave them a huge impact.


    Youqing��s true dragon power was climbing crazily.


    His complexion was flushed almost totally red.


    Clearly, he had mustered up all of his strength and planned on squeezing out even the last trace of dragon power in his body.


    Bang!


    Youqing struck a palm onto the Dragon Qi Stone, the Dragon Qi Stone suddenly lit up.


    The first section was instantly lit.


    Following that, was the second section, and then the third section.


    When it reached the fourth section, the Dragon Qi Stone��s speed of lightning up clearly slowed down.


    However, it was still climbing little by little!


    Initial-stage fourth segment!


    Middle-stage fourth segment!


    Late-stage fourth segment!


    At this time, Youqing��s entire body was emitting waves of steaming heat.


    ��HAH!��


    Youqing roared, and the fourth section was finally completely lit.


    In the main hall, came a series of exclamations.


    ��Peak fourth segment! Youqing��s growth during these 100 years is simply terrifying!��


    ��My God! His dragon qi is actually only slightly worse than Little Dragon Girl!��


    ��Huhu, this human brat, he really doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Of course, he doesn��t even know about the Dragon Qi Stone. So he probably completely doesn��t know what peak fourth segment means, right?!��


    �� ��


    Youqing looked at the Dragon Qi Stone that was being lit, a hint of a smile flashed across his face.


    Clearly, he was also very satisfied with this result.


    Someone like Little Dragon Girl, that was completely abnormal!


    Who could reach the level of fifth segment at the age of 100?


    Even the seven great sea regions�� kings could not achieve it either!


    Youqing looked at Ye Yuan and smiled coldly as he said, ��Boy, it��s your turn!��

 Chapter 2682 - Speechless

    ��Punk, it��s your turn! Don��t blame me for not telling you. But in the seven great sea regions and among peers, there��s only Younger Sister Jingfei who beats me slightly! I think that you don��t need to test anymore either. Just directly kneel down and admit your mistake!��


    Youqing��s eyes were full of contempt.


    He was very confident in his own bloodline power. He would surely become a true dragon existence in the future.


    Even if he was not as good as Jingfei, so what?


    ��Boy, stop hanging on! Unless you fused true dragon��s blood, otherwise, it��s impossible to beat me, Youqing! And the blood of true dragon doesn��t exist in the seven great sea regions at all!�� Muchen said with a look of excitement.


    Youqing is also considered to have taken revenge for him in a disguised form like this.


    ��You��ve already lost. So why haven��t you quickly knelt down!��


    ��Kneel down!��


    ��Kneel down!��


    �� ��


    In their eyes, Ye Yuan already lost and needed to kneel down and admit his mistake.


    It was also not their fault for thinking this way, but no one among the young generation could achieve this step at all.


    True dragons, those were all extremely mysterious and powerful existences, rarely seen in this world.


    Therefore, the so-called dragon race in the seven great sea regions, they were all pseudo-dragons.


    Even if a human fused with pseudo-dragon blood, their bloodline power would not be much stronger either.


    ��Hey, you all are also too overbearing! Big Brother Ye Yuan hasn��t been tested yet, and you all already determined that he lost? Big Brother Ye Yuan, hurry up and test!�� Little Dragon Girl said in defense against the injustice.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of the Dragon Qi Stone and slowly reached his hand out to press on top.


    Different from Youqing, Ye Yuan did not burst forth a powerful dragon qi from his body.


    Everything was the same as usual.


    ��Haha, boy, the Dragon Qi Stone isn��t used like this! The way you are, the Dragon Qi Stone won��t react at all.��


    ��Boy, you wouldn��t not have bloodline power in your body at all, right?��


    ��I even thought how formidable this kid was, after messing around for half a day. He��s good at bragging! Stop disgracing yourself! Quickly kneel down and admit your fault!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan had not even triggered the Dragon Qi Stone, and it immediately attracted a wave of group ridiculing.


    To activate the Dragon Qi Stone, one must urge one��s own dragon qi to the extreme.


    Just like Youqing who mustered up all of his strength.


    But Ye Yuan actually did not use his energy at all. How could it possibly make the Dragon Qi Stone have any reaction?


    But, in pace with Ye Yuan placing his hand on the Dragon Qi Stone, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    First section!


    Second section!


    �� ��


    All the way until the ninth section, they all lit up!


    The entire Dragon Qi Stone erupted with a dazzling light.


    Compared to Youqing��s dim light earlier, Ye Yuan��s light was purer and more dazzling!


    Everyone was stunned. Even Little Dragon Girl��s mouth opened into a circle.


    A hint of surprise flashed across Black Flood Dragon King��s eyes. It was also not known what he was thinking about.


    Youqing��s eyes became wide-saucers and disbelief was written all over his face.


    ��How is this possible? Hang on! The Dragon Qi Stone must be broken!�� Youqing muttered under his breath.


    ��He didn��t even stimulate his bloodline power, so how did the Dragon Qi Stone directly reach the ninth segment? Something must be wrong with the Dragon Qi Stone! Dragon Lord, there��s a problem with this Dragon Qi Stone!�� Muchen said.


    Black Flood Dragon King looked at him like looking at a fool and said coolly, ��If there��s something wrong with the Dragon Qi Stone, what about Youqing��s test earlier? You say that there��s a problem, so maybe you can go up and try too!��


    Muchen was taken aback and immediately lost his temper.


    But he was still unable to accept it.


    What right did a human have, to make the Dragon Qi Stone directly reach the ninth segment?


    What was even more damnable was that he actually did not stimulate his bloodline power!


    Could it be that the Dragon Qi Stone directly detected it?


    Inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan looked at the Dragon Qi Stone, a hint of a slight smile showing at the corners of his mouth as he said, ��Looks like my dragon race bloodline is still considered pretty good among Heavenly Stratum powerhouses!��


    Ye Yuan had the confidence in surpassing Youqing.


    But he did not expect that his bloodline power was actually so strong, directly reaching the ninth segment!


    Furthermore, looking at this light, it seemed to have not given full expression to its views.


    Most likely, this Dragon Qi Stone could not truly gauge his true dragon bloodline.


    This was normal too. After all, it was just used for testing by a bunch of pseudo-dragons and not genuine true dragons.


    Presumably, even if it was true dragons, there would definitely be distinctions in strength when it came to bloodline power too.


    Of course, no matter how weak a true dragon��s bloodline power was, it was also far stronger than these pseudo-dragons.


    Ye Yuan thought that for his true dragon bloodline to be so strong, it should be related to becoming Dragon Ancestor back then.


    Dragons were born from heaven and earth and were where the essence of heaven and earth lay.


    Ye Yuan could obtain the recognition of Heavenly Dao in the Heavenspan World, this small chiliocosm, becoming the Dragon Progenitor. This was likely a form of recognition of the 33 Heavens�� Heavenly Dao in itself.


    Ye Yuan looked at Youqing and said with a smile, ��Sorry about it. Right now, apart from Jingfei, it seems like there��s one more person whose bloodline is stronger than yours. Now, shouldn��t it be time for you to kneel down?��


    Youqing��s expression changed and he said in a solemn voice, ��There��s a problem with this Dragon Qi Stone! The strongest that has appeared in the seven great sea regions was also merely just the eighth segment dragon qi. How can you, a human, possibly reach the ninth segment? The peak ninth segment, that already infinitely approaches true dragon level! Don��t tell me that what��s flowing in your body is true dragon bloodline!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��If you say that there��s a problem, you try it again.��


    As he said, he took his palm away. Only then did the light on the Dragon Qi Stone gradually dissipate.


    Youqing gave a cold snort and arrived in front of the Dragon Qi Stone again.


    The dragon qi on his body surged once again, pressing a palm on the Dragon Qi Stone.


    This time, he still exerted all of his strength.


    But the result was the same!


    Peak fourth segment.


    Youqing��s expression changed, but he still refused to believe this fact.


    ��Muchen, you come and try! There��s absolutely a problem with this Dragon Qi Stone!�� Youqing said in disbelief still.


    Muchen nodded and said, ��Okay, I��ll try it out! How can he, a human, possibly reach the peak ninth segment?��


    Muchen arrived in front of the Dragon Qi Stone and imitated Youqing, and then he also started testing.


    In the end, his dragon qi stopped at peak third segment.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s okay; I��m not in a hurry. If you don��t believe it, you can still have the rest come and try.��


    Youqing��s expression was grim as water and pointed at another one to come up.


    But, no matter who it was, nobody surpassed the fourth segment again.


    ��Me too! Me too!�� When Little Dragon Girl saw everyone testing, she could not resist it too and came forward on her own accord.


    She skipped in front of the Dragon Qi Stone and pressed her palm on it. The stone pillar was lit up once again.


    Peak fifth segment!


    Jingfei��s dragon qi was actually a full segment stronger than Youqing!


    This naturally aroused another wave of exclamations.


    Little Dragon Girl looked at Youqing and said with a smile, ��Big Brother Youqing, this Dragon Qi Stone is fine! I just tested my dragon qi a few years ago. It was the late-stage fifth segment. Now, it has improved a little bit. Hehe, you must be willing to lose if you bet! Moreover, as a member of the dragon race, kneeling to a true dragon isn��t considered an insult to you!��


    Youqing��s expression alternated between green and white.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��I still don��t believe it! Test again! I don��t believe that you can still reach the peak ninth segment!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Okay, then I��ll let you give up on this.��


    Finished saying, he pressed his hand on the Dragon Qi Stone again.


    The Dragon Qi Stone was instantly fully lit!


    Peak ninth segment!


    ��With this, you have nothing to say, right?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Everyone had tested once. Now, Ye Yuan tested a second time.


    This showed that the bloodline power in Ye Yuan��s body had truly reached the peak ninth segment!


    This was too terrifying!

 Chapter 2683 - Land of Dragon Slumber!

    ��I don��t believe it! There must be something fishy going on!�� Youqing pointed at Ye Yuan and roared angrily.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, ��Looks like you��re planning on going back on your words?��


    Youqing snorted coldly and said, ��Going back on my words? You��re clearly playing tricks! It��s simply impossible for there to be true dragons existing in the seven great sea regions! How can you, a mere human, possibly reach the peak ninth segment?��


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, ��Well, since you��re going to act shamelessly, then I can only compel you to kneel.��


    When Youqing heard, he could not help smiling coldly as he said, ��Boy, you don��t seem to have figured out the situation yet, right? Do you really think that by defeating Muchen, you have the qualifications to challenge me? Testing dragon qi is one thing! Real combat strength is another thing altogether. Killing you doesn��t need the slightest effort at all!��


    Ye Yuan��s smile was bright, and he slowly arrived in front of Youqing.


    While Youqing looked at Ye Yuan, a cold sneer on his face.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan extended his hand and pressed on Youqing��s head.


    ��Courting death!��


    But right at this time, his body suddenly stiffened and he was actually unable to move a muscle.


    Then Ye Yuan suddenly pressed on his head.


    Under Ye Yuan��s tremendous strength, Youqing could not help kneeling.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan directly pressed his head on the ground.


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied, not understanding why this scene would happen.


    Youqing��s strength could be rated as invincible among peers!


    But why did he not make a move just now?


    Ye Yuan patted his hand and said with a smile, ��Mn, it��s still kowtowing like this, it��s more satisfying.��


    Youqing��s head was touching the ground, and he had no way of lifting his head at all. He kept maintaining the posture of kowtowing.


    But his slightly trembling body currently showed the fury in his heart.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re dead for sure! Even if you fly up to the heaven and tunnel into the earth, I��ll tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces too!�� Youqing said with an angry roar.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I were you, I��d keep a low profile at this time. If I��m not happy, I can kill you with one sword now. Uh, don��t tell me that you have a noble background, I, Ye Yuan, never ask about background when killing people. If you don��t believe me, you can give it a try.��


    Sure enough, one sentence and Youqing shut up.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one felt chills in their hearts.


    They all could tell that Ye Yuan had poisoned him.


    But no one could tell when Ye Yuan applied the poison, and how he applied the poison.


    No one expected that Ye Yuan actually still had such strange means.


    Jumping realms to battle, ninth segment dragon qi, a poison expert, Ye Yuan��s identity became incomparably mysterious in their eyes.


    In fact, their faces even carried some awe and fear.


    ��Alright, this kind of occasion is very boring, I won��t be taking part. Farewell!�� Finished saying, Ye Yuan turned around and left.


    ��Hold on!�� Black Flood Dragon King hurriedly shouted.


    Ye Yuan turned around and said with a cold smile, ��Why? Are you planning on standing up for him?��


    Black Flood Dragon King smiled and said, ��This is about young people��s dispute caused by personal feelings. So why would this king intervene? As long as there are no deaths caused, this king won��t care. Making you stay, it��s actually because I have something to ask.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��What is it?��


    Black Flood Dragon King said, ��Actually, the seven great sea regions�� young powerhouses are gathering here because a mystic realm in my Thistle South Sea Region is about to open soon. When the time comes, Jingfei will enter it too. Young Friend Ye��s skill is extraordinary. I want to invite you to accompany her and enter the mystic realm together!��


    Turns out that this mystic realm was called Land of Dragon Slumber. Legends had it that it was the place where a true dragon fell.


    The rise of the Black Flood Dragon King was inextricably linked to this place.


    He obtained the dragon race��s secret art in the Land of Dragon Slumber, attaining Dao in the end, and had half a foot stepped into the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven, dominating a region.


    However, each person could only enter this Land of Dragon Slumber once.


    If they entered a second time, they would be killed by some kind of mysterious power!


    The Black Flood Dragon King was unable to enter personally, but he was also worried about Jingfei��s safety. That was why he entrusted Ye Yuan to enter and act as a bodyguard character.


    ��Huhu, Young Friend Ye, don��t blame me. This king had this idea, so I naturally had to understand your strength too! In these seven great sea regions, everyone knows that Jingfei this lass is my darling. If any accidents happen to her inside, I won��t be able to forgive myself for life! Therefore, I hope that Young Friend Ye can lend a helping hand! Furthermore, since Young Friend Ye is in possession of a true dragon bloodline, perhaps you might obtain some massive lucky chances in the Land of Dragon Slumber?�� Black Flood Dragon King did not put on any airs and said sincerely.


    Although Jingfei this girl liked to play pranks, she was actually very pure.


    She did not have much idea of right or wrong in her heart, she just purely felt that it was fun.


    Ever since the last time, this girl became very dependent on him.


    In this one year, the two of them transmitted their voices over thousands of miles, and they were already very familiar with each other.


    Furthermore, subduing Ironcore and Min Nanshan this time, Jingfei made tremendous contributions too.


    Since that was the case, there was nothing wrong with accompanying her on a trip.


    Furthermore, just as Black Flood Dragon King said, he might obtain some lucky chance inside, who knew.


    One had to know, Black Flood Dragon King did not enter deep back then. He probably walked less than halfway in and already had such accomplishments!


    This showed that the Land of Dragon Slumber must be an extremely terrifying place.


    The more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there were as well.


    Black Flood Dragon King naturally knew that with Ye Yuan and Jingfei working together, it was virtually equivalent to a peak Jade Sovereign Heaven mighty expert.


    After entering inside, protecting themselves should not be a problem.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, accompany me to go inside! It must be very fun in there!�� Jingfei lopped around Ye Yuan��s neck and said coquettishly.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Okay, I can accompany you to go inside. But, you have to listen to me! Otherwise, I��ll act alone!��


    Jingfei planted a kiss on Ye Yuan��s face and said joyfully, ��Hehe, Big Brother Ye Yuan is the best!��


    �� ��


    The banquet ended in unhappiness.


    Youqing was carried back by someone. He was hit by Ye Yuan��s Petrification Powder. Within three hours, he would not be able to move at all.


    After going back, he naturally flew into a thunderous rage.


    However, this expedition to the Land of Dragon Slumber could not dispense with a bout of fierce fighting.


    After everyone left, in the bedroom palace, the mermaid queen said, ��King, is it really okay to hand Jingfei over to that Ye Yuan?��


    Black Flood Dragon King smiled and said, ��You probably don��t know this. The Emerald Sea Divine Conch has to submit in front of him too! It can be imagined how powerful the true dragon bloodline in his body is! The Emerald Sea Divine Conch is the treasure that this king obtained in the Land of Dragon Slumber!��


    The mermaid queen said in surprise, ��How can he, a human, possibly has such a powerful true dragon bloodline?��


    Black Flood Dragon King shook his head and said, ��He shouldn��t be a pure human. Otherwise, his true dragon bloodline absolutely won��t be so powerful! True dragons rarely appear in the 33 Heavens. But this king feels that boy is likely �� a true dragon! Because the aura on his body is very similar to the one I encountered in the Land of Dragon Slumber back then!��


    The mermaid queen was shocked to the extreme in her heart.


    A human was actually a true dragon.


    Most likely, no one would believe this sort of thing!


    But Black Flood Dragon King would not lie to her!


    This sort of thing was too inconceivable.


    But at this time, Black Flood Dragon King��s gaze turned cold and he said with a cold smile, ��Heh heh, after he comes out of the Land of Dragon Slumber, most likely, breaking through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum shouldn��t be a problem.. At that time, this king will extract his dragon marrow, and stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven will absolutely be a cinch!��

 Chapter 2684 - Mysterious Summoning!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Land of Dragon Slumber, it was an enormous karst cave at the bottom of the sea.


    Standing in front of the karst cave, Ye Yuan felt that the blood in his body was boiling.


    Ye Yuan attempted to suppress it, but could not do it at all.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, what��s wrong with you?�� Little Dragon Girl asked a little curiously.


    ��I feel that there seems to be something calling me in this Land of Dragon Slumber.�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Hah, do you really take yourself to be a true dragon? Land of Dragon Slumber has been sleeping here for at least ten thousand years. Why would it summon you? Idiot!�� Youqing said with a cold smile on his face.


    ��Brother Youqing, perhaps he really has a deep relationship with this Land of Dragon Slumber! Really enviable!�� Muchen similarly sneered as he said.


    ��Huhu, he��s demonstrating how he��s different from the rest! We all can��t feel the Land of Dragon Slumber��s summoning, only he can feel it, how impressive! I��ve also never heard before that who in our seven great sea regions have felt before the Land of Dragon Slumber��s calling! Impressive! Impressive!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s words immediately drew laughter from the crowd.


    In their view, the Land of Dragon Slumber was a dead place. How could it possibly summon Ye Yuan?


    Especially Youqing, he was directly pressed to the ground by Ye Yuan a few days ago.


    This was simply unprecedented humiliation to him.


    If he could, he would immediately kill Ye Yuan now.


    Actually, the ones who entered the Land of Dragon Slumber this time were not just the seven great royal clans. There were also many tribal powerhouses.


    It was just that they did not have the qualifications to enter the banquet; that was all.


    These tribal powerhouses, some of them were quite strong, even reaching the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven already!


    Youqing was afraid of Ye Yuan��s poison, but he had some Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses by his side too, which was sufficient to kill Ye Yuan.


    It was just that in front of Black Flood Dragon King, it was not convenient for him to take action.


    Youqing already made up his mind. After entering the Land of Dragon Slumber, the first thing he would do was to kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan ignored everyone��s ridicule. The blood in his body was already somewhat going out of control.


    Under the watchful gazes of the people, Ye Yuan involuntarily moved closer to the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    One step, another step.


    It was not Ye Yuan taking the initiative, he could not help it.


    The calling from the depths of the Land of Dragon Slumber was getting stronger and stronger.


    When Youqing saw this scene, he sneered even more as he said, ��You guys, look, this guy is planning on entering first in order to prove the summoning of the Land of Dragon Slumber! Hahaha ����


    ��Roar!��


    Youqing��s voice had yet to fade when a blood-red dragon qi rose up from Ye Yuan��s body.


    The blood red dragon qi condensed into a giant red dragon in the deep sea.


    ��HAH!��


    It was also at this moment that Ye Yuan roared, the aura on his body surging to the sky.


    Everyone��s laughter abruptly ceased.


    Because Ye Yuan was about to break through!


    In reality, he already reached peak Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum when he broke through the last time and could break through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum at any time.


    However, Ye Yuan was afraid that his cultivation realm would be unstable, so he kept suppressing it and did not break through.


    Just now, all the blood in Ye Yuan��s body seethed once again under that mysterious power��s calling.


    His cultivation realm actually broke through involuntarily!


    This sort of feeling was almost the same as when he sensed the Emerald Sea Divine Conch back then.


    At that time, Ye Yuan was very confused too. He did not know why he had this kind of feeling with the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    But now, he understood!


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch must have originated from the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    ��Hehehe ����


    Little Dragon Girl let out a burst of silver-bell-like laughter and said to Youqing, ��Big Brother Youqing, didn��t you say that it��s impossible for the Land of Dragon Slumber to summon Big Brother Ye Yuan? Now, he hasn��t even entered the Land of Dragon Slumber and he directly broke through!��


    Youqing��s expression was livid, a look of disbelief on his face.


    How could this guy possibly break through directly?


    Furthermore, the blood dragon that was wandering continuously in the sky above the Land of Dragon Slumber made it clear to all that Ye Yuan had indeed felt the calling of the Land of Dragon Slumber!


    This dragon qi was really so strong!


    ��Could it be that he really felt the summoning of the Land of Dragon Slumber? How is this possible?��


    ��The Land of Dragon Slumber would actually take the initiative to summon a human?��


    ��What capability does this boy have, to actually be able to get the Land of Dragon Slumber��s summoning?��


    �� ��


    The powerhouses who were still ridiculing Ye Yuan just now, could not laugh anymore at this time.


    Ye Yuan��s breakthrough was like a resounding slap, slapping onto their faces.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan really felt the Land of Dragon Slumber��s summoning!


    And it was precisely because of this that the sea race powerhouses present were even more green with envy!


    Especially the dragon race powerhouses, they were even more jealous.


    This Land of Dragon Slumber was the place where a true dragon slumbered in the legends.


    The greatest wish of the seven great sea regions�� dragon race was to be able to evolve into a true dragon one day.


    But they had never obtained the Land of Dragon Slumber��s show of favor before.


    Not only that, the powerhouses of the seven great sea regions that died in the Land of Dragon Slumber were beyond counting.


    But, what right did a brat that came from the human race have, to directly break through a major realm before even entering the Land of Dragon Slumber?


    When Black Flood Dragon King saw this scene, beyond the shock he was feeling, he was even more ecstatic in his heart.


    The purer Ye Yuan��s bloodline was, the greater his hopes of breaking through!


    Perhaps, after he absorbed Ye Yuan��s dragon marrow, he would be able to become a true dragon in the future, who knows?


    ��Mn? The Black Flood Dragon King wants to harm me?�� Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart.


    Currently, the dragon qi in his body had fused into one with the mysterious power that came from the depths of the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    Every detail here could not escape his perception.


    The Black Flood Dragon King was the most powerful existence among these people, and he was also the clearest existence in Ye Yuan��s perception.


    Therefore, this tiny hint of killing intent that Black Flood Dragon King revealed was caught by him keenly.


    Ever since coming to Thistle South Dragon Palace, Black Flood Dragon King could be considered to have conducted himself rather kindly.


    But Ye Yuan did not expect that he actually concealed his intention so deeply.


    If not for fusing with this mysterious power, he would not have been able to detect it.


    ��Humph! I hope that you don��t make a move against me. Otherwise, I wouldn��t mind tearing down your Thistle South Dragon Palace!�� Ye Yuan snorted coldly in his heart.


    Black Flood Dragon King was Thistle South��s strongest powerhouse, a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. Ye Yuan was naturally not his match.


    But, if Ye Yuan wanted to kill people, he might not be able to stop him either.


    At this time, earth-shaking changes were currently happening in Ye Yuan��s small world.


    Sublime Realm three heavens, Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum; it was actually the expanding and perfecting of the small world.


    When he was in the Heavenspan World, the Chaos Heavenspan Canon that Ye Yuan created was completely based on the Heavenspan World.


    But only after walking out of the Heavenspan World did Ye Yuan realize what was called as a real heaven!


    The rules of the 33 Heavens were complicated and profound to the extreme.


    Reaching Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, Ye Yuan felt that his small world no longer had a limit.


    Formless, limitless!


    The so-called Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Heaven without limit, Dao without limit!


    Ye Yuan revolved according to the cultivation method of the Wordless Heavenly Skill. The boundary of the chaos world became blurry.


    He could feel that his world was becoming more consolidated and stronger.


    ��The Wordless Heavenly Skill and my Chaos Heavenspan Canon are of the same lineage, well-deserving of being the cultivation method that could let Yan Jadetrue roam the Rainclear Continent unhindered! Even if I don��t use Great Dao Transformation now, my strength is two to three times that of those in the same rank too!�� Ye Yuan said with joy..

 Chapter 2685 - Dying Before Achieving Success!

    ��Roar!��


    The blood dragon circled around for a while, then tunneled back into Ye Yuan��s body again.


    Ye Yuan felt that his bloodline power was stronger than before.


    ��Huhu, it looks like Young Friend Ye is really fated with this Land of Dragon Slumber! Congratulations, Young Friend Ye, for advancing to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!��


    Black Flood Dragon King was all smiles, a sincere look on his face as he came up to congratulate.


    If it were before, Ye Yuan would definitely have a better impression.


    But now, he was full of disgust in his heart.


    But, at this time, it was clearly not the time to lose all decorum. Ye Yuan smiled too and said, ��Many thanks, Black Flood Dragon King.��


    Black Flood Dragon King smiled and said, ��This Land of Dragon Slumber has been here for no idea how many years already. It��s never been heard of that anyone could feel the summoning from inside! Young Friend Ye really surprised this king! It��s just, don��t know what kind of summoning Young Friend Ye felt?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know either. I just feel a mysterious power.��


    Everyone naturally did not believe these words.


    In reality, it was indeed a lie too.


    It was indeed a mysterious power, but Ye Yuan felt that this mysterious power seemed to be calling him to go in.


    Seemingly �� somewhat too impatient to wait.


    Of course, this was purely a feeling, Ye Yuan also did not know whether it was real or fake.


    In fact, this could be a kind of danger.


    Ye Yuan had entered God knows how many mystic realms before. He naturally could not be naive enough to think that this Land of Dragon Slumber was opened by him and that he could come and go as he pleased.


    This sort of mystic realm was often accompanied by great danger.


    But right now, the expressions of Youqing and the rest were surprisingly ugly.


    They could not quite maintain their face anymore.


    Rumble ��


    Right at this time, there was a tremor.


    The seabed was shaking violently.


    The entire sea region seemed like mountains were crying out and the sea was howling.


    Right then, the restrictions in front of the cave collapsed with a loud bang.


    An aura of a dragon slowly flowed out of the cave.


    ��There��s no rule for the opening of the Land of Dragon Slumber. But, each time it opens, it will trigger a tsunami! Right now, a large area on land has already been submerged,�� Black Flood Dragon King explained.


    ��Hehe, the Land of Dragon Slumber seems to be very fun. I��m going in first!��


    Little Dragon Girl giggled and did not wait for everyone to react either, and she already turned into a wisp of green smoke, burrowing into the cave.


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed, and he said angrily, ��This lass is really too worrisome! The Land of Dragon Slumber is filled with dangers. Does she really think that it��s her own backyard? Young Friend Ye, hurry up and go in. I��ll entrust this girl to you!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and also leaped and entered the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    Youqing and the rest were naturally not willing to fall behind others and followed after in succession.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur in front of him, as if he had arrived in another world.


    There was no sea water in the Land of Dragon Slumber. The surrounding cliffs showed a red-black color, giving people a strange feeling.


    Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings, there were actually no traces of Little Dragon Girl anymore, and he could not help frowning slightly.


    This girl was too wild, wanting to control her would really expend some effort!


    However, after entering the Land of Dragon Slumber, that mysterious summoning seemed to have gotten stronger.


    As if there was someone who kept calling softly in his ear.


    ��Hurry up, I��ve been waiting a long time for you!��


    This feeling was very magical.


    Ye Yuan forcibly suppressed the impulse to enter the depths and took out a small conch.


    It was precisely the Emerald Sea Divine Conch��s clone body!


    Ye Yuan recited a spell, the small conch became bright and started flying.


    The urgent matter on hand was still finding Little Dragon Girl first.


    As for this Land of Dragon Slumber��s secret, take it slowly, there was no rush.


    But right then, several figures suddenly dashed out, surrounding Ye Yuan.


    Who could it be if not Youqing and the others?


    There were even three Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses following by his side!


    There was also Muchen and the rest nearby, and beside them, there were many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses too.


    Facing a group of seafolk, the current Ye Yuan immediately became a public enemy.


    There were no fewer than ten Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present!


    ��Heh, boy, we meet again! Now that we��ve entered the Land of Dragon Slumber, I want to see how you can still be cocky! That day, you made me lose all face. Today, I want you to pay back a hundredfold!�� Youqing said with a cold smile.


    Muchen also had a proud look as he said, ��Punk, weren��t you very arrogant? Now, are you still arrogant? Come over and kneel down for this young master. This young master can consider sparing you from death!��


    ��Idiot!�� Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said.


    The moment Muchen heard, he became furious and said in a cold voice, ��Go, capture this punk for me, I want him alive! I want him to experience what��s called a life worse than death!��


    ��Yes, Lord Dragon Son!��


    The Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse that Muchen brought immediately responded, erupting with a powerful strength all over his body, and pouncing towards Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan already broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, facing so many Jade Sovereign Heavens at the same time, it was clearly beyond his means.


    However, he did not pay too much attention.


    If he could not beat them, escaping was still not a problem.


    But, just as he was about to activate his movement technique, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    A drop of scarlet liquid suddenly fell from the top of the cave, dripping onto that Jade Sovereign Heaven accurately.


    ��Ahhh!!��


    That Jade Sovereign Heaven let out a tragic scream, then, his body shriveled up rapidly.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, all the blood in his body seemed to have been drained, becoming a human jerky.


    This bizarre scene made the faces of everyone present change abruptly.


    That was a Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    In a blink of an eye, he became a human jerky!


    What on earth was that strange liquid?


    Ye Yuan��s brows also furrowed.


    This scene was too coincidental.


    That drop of liquid dripped precisely onto the Jade Sovereign Heaven who attacked him without any deviation!


    As if this was all planned.


    Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart. Could it be that that mysterious power was protecting him?


    What on earth was this guy summoning him for?


    Ye Yuan suddenly felt like he had fallen into a pit!


    He understood that wanting to get away now probably could not be accomplished anymore.


    Entering the Land of Dragon Slumber, he would have to follow the path set by that mysterious power!


    However, while he was shocked, Ye Yuan naturally would not show it.


    He looked at Muchen and said with a grin, ��You only brought this one Jade Sovereign Heaven? Tsk tsk, this is called dying before achieving success, right? The journey has only just started. I find it very hard to imagine how you��ll be walking the road at the back by yourself.��


    The corners of Muchen��s mouth twitched slightly, his expression being ugly to the extreme.


    He was not like Youqing, able to bring three Jade Sovereign Heavens by his side to protect him.


    He only brought one person, and the person died immediately.


    How aggravating!


    Just as Ye Yuan said, this Land of Dragon Slumber was full of dangers. Relying on himself for the road at the back, it was a little too lacking in strength.


    At this time, Ye Yuan looked towards Youqing and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Why? Are you still planning on watching the show? Don��t you want to kill me very much? Why aren��t you attacking?��


    Youqing��s brows furrowed slightly. He also felt that it was a little too coincidental!


    Hence, he did not act hastily.


    But at this time, he was cornered by Ye Yuan.


    His expression suddenly turned dark and he said to the three Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses beside him, ��The three of you, attack together!��


    ��Yes!�� Those three people answered without knowing the inner reason and went up.


    But, just as they pounced toward Ye Yuan, three drops of liquid hit them accurately.


    Another three human jerkies!


    The expressions of everyone present changed wildly!

 Chapter 2686 - Can’t Do It Without Me!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Why �� Why is it like this?��


    Everyone��s faces changed wildly, clearly frightened by this scene.


    What the freaking hell!


    Whoever attacked Ye Yuan would be directly finished off?


    What was there to play still?!


    If the previous one was a coincidence, then what was the deal with these three?


    Thinking back to that mysterious summoning that Ye Yuan talked about before entering, if they still did not understand what happened, then they would be a bunch of pigs!


    ��What the hell is this?! Why would the Land of Dragon Slumber protect this guy?�� Youqing was full of puzzlement.


    ��Based on what! What right does this guy have, to be able to receive the Land of Dragon Slumber��s showing of favor!�� Muchen said with a reluctant look.


    These young powerhouses were all unreconciled to it, indignant, and had fear mixed in.


    They were originally planning on teaming up to deal with Ye Yuan, this outsider, after entering the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    Who knew that he had arrived home!


    ��Based on what? Of course, it��s based on the fact that my bloodline power is strong! I said it long ago, you all are pseudo-dragons. Now, are you guys still not convinced? Mn, not convinced is all right, but it��s useless,�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    One sentence choked the young powerhouses present until they were speechless.


    Yeah, the greatest probability was because Ye Yuan��s bloodline power was strong.


    This place was the Land of Dragon Slumber. Of course, it would regard people with strong bloodline power in a more favorable light.


    ��Ahhh! Help! There��s a monster!��


    Right at this time, a shrill scream suddenly came from the depths of the cave.


    Who could it be if not Little Dragon Girl?


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, his figure suddenly turning into a streak of electricity, dashing towards the depths.


    While the others exchanged glances and also followed after respectively.


    After a short time, in a narrow passageway, Little Dragon Girl was fighting as she retreated.


    More than ten blood-colored afterimages forced Little Dragon Girl until she was teetering on her feet.


    One had to know, even without Ye Yuan��s participation, Little Dragon Girl��s strength was sufficient to reach middle Jade Sovereign Heaven too.


    But currently, under the pincer attack of more than ten blood shadows, Little Dragon Girl clearly could not hold on anymore.


    Seemingly perceiving Ye Yuan��s approach, Little Dragon Girl yelled, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, quickly come and help! I almost can��t hold on anymore!��


    Ye Yuan��s face fell and joined the battle with a flash.


    And right at this time, those over a dozen blood shadows seemed to have seen something terrifying, all retreating in an instant.


    When Little Dragon Girl saw this scene, a pair of round eyes became wide-saucers.


    When the others saw this scene, they became even more convinced of their previous judgment.


    ��Whoa, Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re really too incredible. They seem to be scared of you!�� Little Dragon Girl looked at Ye Yuan and said with a look of worship.


    But Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said in a solemn voice, ��You lass, are your buttocks itching again?��


    Little Dragon Girl stuck her tongue out and said cheekily, ��I was curious! Don��t be angry, alright, Big Brother Ye Yuan?��


    Got to admit, Little Dragon Girl was very scared of Ye Yuan.


    While the others had long already had a taste of Little Dragon Girl��s fearlessness.


    Seeing this scene, they could not help clicking their tongues in wonder.


    This scourge yielded to Ye Yuan


    ��What on earth is going on?�� Ye Yuan asked in a solemn voice.


    Little Dragon Girl said, ��Aiya, I discovered a blood-red fruit in front. It looks very impressive. I was just about to go and pluck it. In the end, these guys came out, it scared me to death!��


    ��Blood-red fruit?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    The moment this was said, the eyes of the others lit up.


    Even a fool would also know that this blood-red fruit was not an ordinary item.


    ��Mn, that fruit seems to be condensed out of blood, seemingly very impressive! With one look, I felt that it was not ordinary and wanted to go and pluck it. In the end, these guys came out. But, I don��t know why; the moment they saw you, it��s like rats seeing a cat. All ran away,�� Little Dragon Girl said curiously.


    Not far away, Youqing and the rest were gnashing their teeth in hatred.


    What else could there be? Because this Land of Dragon Slumber was protecting Ye Yuan!


    The dangers here did not seem to be dangers to Ye Yuan at all!


    ��Come, bring me to take a look!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Hence, Little Dragon Girl brought Ye Yuan and went to a remote cave.


    Sure enough, a blood-red fruit was growing in the center of the cave, looking breath-taking.


    One look and it was clear that it was not something simple.


    ��That��s �� Vermillion Spirit Fruit!�� Youqing said with a look of shock when he saw the fruit.


    ��It��s actually the Vermillion Spirit Fruit, that��s a sacred relic of the Dragon Clan!��


    ��A Vermillion Spirit Fruit can directly increase a segment of bloodline power! Such a treasure can simply only come by with luck, but not by searching for it!��


    It was not up to these people to not exclaim in shock!


    Vermillion Spirit Fruit, it was equivalent to the promotion of bloodline!


    A Vermillion Spirit Fruit could let a dragon increase a segment of bloodline power unconditionally!


    Nobody could resist this sort of temptation!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Several figures rushed over at once when they saw the Vermillion Spirit Fruit.


    There was even a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum among them!


    Nothing could be done about it, treasures always moved people.


    But right at this time, more than ten blood shadows suddenly appeared.


    Each of these blood shadows was extremely powerful, instantly surrounding those few powerhouses.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    An astonishing great battle immediately erupted in the cave.


    The result was that after a moment, those few people were directly thrashed.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, these blood shadows are so formidable, why don��t we join forces to deal with them!�� Little Dragon Girl said.


    The two of them joining hands was equivalent to a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. They naturally would not fear these blood shadows.


    However, Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��No need, I��ll go and pluck it!��


    Little Dragon Girl said in surprise, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, your strength is too weak. Don��t joke around!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who��s joking with you?��


    As he said, Ye Yuan��s figure drifted, directly arriving in front of the Vermillion Spirit Fruit.


    Those blood shadows directly dissipated without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.


    When Little Dragon Girl saw this scene, a pair of round eyes stared like wide-saucers again as she cried out in surprise, ��What did you do, Big Brother Ye Yuan? Each and every one of those blood shadows have an extremely strong brutal air, they actually don��t have any reaction to you at all!��


    Ye Yuan threw the Vermillion Spirit Fruit to Land of Dragon Slumber and said with a smile, ��I didn��t do anything. It��s just that this Land of Dragon Slumber seems to have chosen me. Therefore, freely pick the treasures here! Here, the Vermillion Spirit Fruit!��


    Little Dragon Girl shook her head hard and said, ��I can��t take it! The Vermillion Spirit Fruit is too precious. Furthermore, you obtained it, I can��t hog it on my own!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You lass, stop being courteous with me. Let me tell you, the treasures of this Land of Dragon Slumber, as long as you want them, there��s none that I can��t get! Therefore, just take it!��


    Little Dragon Girl said in surprise, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re bragging! Back then, my Royal Father narrowly escaped death here too, before he had today��s position. What right do you have to dare say such a thing?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t believe me?��


    Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said, ��Don��t believe you!��


    Ye Yuan extended his hand and beckoned as he said, ��Come here!��


    Those blood shadows were immediately like small fries, coming before Ye Yuan and kneeling down.


    When Little Dragon Girl saw this scene, her two eyes immediately shone!

 Chapter 2687 - Bring Me Home!

    Chapter 2687: Bring Me Home!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Do you believe it now?��


    ��I believe it!��


    ��So, eat it. This thing doesn��t have much effect on me.��


    ��Okay!��


    Little Dragon Girl nodded her head like a rattle drum, swallowing the Vermillion Spirit Fruit in one bite.


    A good thing like the Vermillion Spirit Fruit also had to depend on who used it.


    Ye Yuan��s bloodline power was already the power of a true dragon to begin with. It naturally did not need the Vermillion Spirit Fruit to grow stronger.


    Even if it could increase bloodline power after Ye Yuan ate it, it would be extremely limited too.


    But, to Little Dragon Girl, or Youqing and the rest, the significance of this thing would be different!


    Unconditionally promoting a segment of dragon qi, to them, these pseudo-dragons, who did not want it?


    Seeing this scene, they were envious to the extreme.


    Swallowing the Vermillion Spirit Fruit, the dragon qi on Little Dragon Girl��s body erupted at once.


    Originally, Little Dragon Girl��s dragon qi already reached peak fifth segment.


    Now, it directly rose to peak sixth segment!


    Although there was no Dragon Qi Stone here, the increase in Little Dragon Girl��s dragon qi was visible to the naked eye!


    Youqing and the rest were green with envy.


    If the Vermillion Spirit Fruit was eaten by him, wouldn��t he be able to rival Little Dragon Girl?


    But there were no ifs in this world.


    Now, not only could he not rival Little Dragon Girl, he became even further from her instead.


    ��Stop watching. Go and play by yourselves. If you follow us, you guys won��t even have soup to drink,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Youqing��s face turned black, feeling as awful as having eaten a fly.


    He really could not refute these words.


    ��Consider yourself ruthless! Who will emerge victorious is not yet known! Don��t be complacent too early!�� Youqing gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    ��Huhu, there��s really no need to be complacent with a pseudo-dragon like you! I think that you��re probably mistaken.�� Ye Yuan replied nonchalantly.


    Youqing gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice, ��Go!��


    The Land of Dragon Slumber extended in all directions, there was naturally more than one path.


    What lucky chances you could obtain, it completely depended on the individual��s luck and strength.


    Primarily, what Ye Yuan said was right. They would really not even have soup to drink if they followed Ye Yuan!


    Freaking hell, Ye Yuan was equivalent to being invincible here!


    ��Big Brother Youqing, are we dropping this matter just like this? I can��t swallow this insult!�� Muchen said.


    But Youqing sneered and said, ��Do you really think that that boy is invincible?��


    Muchen said in surprise, ��Isn��t that so?��


    Youqing smiled and said, ��Of course not! As the saying goes, misfortune might be a blessing in disguise, and vice-versa! Being favored by the Land of Dragon Slumber, maybe the Land of Dragon Slumber needs his life as the price! No, it should be said that this possibility is very high! In a place like the Land of Dragon Slumber, the more smooth-sailing it is, the more one needs to be vigilant! Heh, this boy thinks that he��s formidable, but he doesn��t know that the mysterious power of this Land of Dragon Slumber has already had its eye on him!��


    The moment Muchen and the rest heard, they immediately revealed looks of enlightenment.


    ��Brilliant! When you said this, it really is true! The more smooth-sailing he is now, the more likely something will happen to him at the back! Maybe, his life has already been reserved by the Land of Dragon Slumber! Even if he wants to run, he can��t run too!�� Muchen smacked his thigh and said with a loud laugh.


    Youqing nodded and said with a smile, ��That��s right, it��s precisely so! Therefore, let��s just wait and watch the joke!��


    When everyone heard that, they all nodded their heads.


    As the seven great sea regions�� number one genius, Youqing was naturally not a stupid person.


    The problem that Ye Yuan was worried about, he could imagine it too!


    ��Alright, finally managed to come in, we can��t waste the opportunity! Now, everyone acts on your own! Whoever has the last laugh is the real winner!�� Youqing said coolly.


    He brought three great Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, the majority of the dangers here, he could handle it.


    Hence, he was a little more confident than the rest.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan brought Little Dragon Girl, walking and stopping, obtaining a lot of benefits.


    Of course, these benefits were really nothing to Ye Yuan.


    Very soon, Little Dragon Girl��s bloodline power rose rapidly, almost reaching peak seventh segment!


    But the deeper in, the stronger the summoning of that mysterious power.


    Ye Yuan knew that he was not far from that mysterious power!


    ��Hehe, Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re really too incredible! The strange things in here all behave like they saw a ghost when they see you!�� Little Dragon Girl giggled.


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black, did this girl know how to talk or not?


    But right then, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Countless green lights suddenly appeared around them.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he yelled coldly, ��Go away!��


    But this time, it failed!


    Those green lights grew more and more, completely drowning the two people.


    By the time Ye Yuan came back to his senses, there was already no trace of Little Dragon Girl.


    To be precise, he had arrived at an unknown place.


    In this place, he could not see his fingers when he extended his hand. But the blood in his body completely started to feel aroused.


    ��I finally waited until you came!��


    In the darkness, a voice suddenly came over, carrying a tiny hint of excitement.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��It was you who summoned me here?��


    ��That��s right!��


    ��Who on earth are you? What��s your goal of summoning me here?�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    ��You don��t have to be afraid! I��m looking for you. It��s just to have you bring me home!�� That voice said.


    ��Bring you home? Where is your home?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��My home is in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven! I��m too lonely, too lonely here! I miss home!�� That voice seemed extremely lonely.


    Ye Yuan discerned his sentimentality for home from his voice.


    ��Why me?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    He already determined that this mysterious existence did not seem to have malice towards him. This also made his suspending heart relax.


    Of course, the premise was that he did not reject the other party.


    Ye Yuan could feel that going home was the other party��s obsession.


    He picked Ye Yuan. But if he could not fulfill his wish, Ye Yuan did not dare guarantee what would happen.


    Maybe everyone who came here for the expedition would die!


    That voice said, ��Because you��re a true dragon��s descendant! I��ve waited for several tens of thousands of years here, but have never come across with a true dragon before! If it��s not a true dragon, it will be impossible to pass through the barrier of heavens, and return to Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven! That lass is pretty good, but clearly, you��re more suitable!��


    ��Barrier of heavens?�� Ye Yuan asked in puzzlement.


    In reality, Ye Yuan only knew that this world was called 33 Heavens, but he completely did not know what the 33 Heavens was.


    He had already arrived in this world for a number of years.


    But, the place that he learned about, it was also limited to the the Rainclear Continent only.


    And the Rainclear Continent seemed to only be a corner of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven too.


    There was an even more vast world outside!


    Just like Zhuo Bufan, his cultivation realm was already high until the Rainclear Continent could not keep him behind anymore.


    That place no longer had anywhere that was worth him being reluctant to leave.


    Therefore, it seemed inevitable that he went to an even more expansive region.


    It was just that wanting to walk out of the Rainclear Continent was not an easy thing either.


    But now, this mysterious existence actually wanted him to pass through the barrier of heavens!


    This was much harder than going out of the Rainclear Continent.


    It sounded like a huge challenge!

 Chapter 2688 - Divine Emergence!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��The 33 Heavens are the rulers of myriad worlds! It is heaven, not a world! Each heaven is an independent existence, each performing its own duties, dictating the rotation of myriad worlds. There��s a clear distinction between heavens. The barrier of the heavens is a stretch of chaos, isolating all the heavens! True dragons are born of chaos and can travel through the heavens, soaring across myriad worlds! When your realm reaches it, you��ll naturally be able to cut through space. But right now, you��re far too weak!��


    That mysterious voice spoke with fervor and assurance, talking tirelessly about the secrets of the heavens.


    Only then did Ye Yuan know that the Rainclear Continent was merely a tiny corner of the 33 Heavens, that was all.


    The current him was still too weak!


    ��So that��s how it is! But why should I promise you?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Traveling through the heavens, this did not sound like some easy thing


    One had to know, going out of a measly little Rainclear Continent was incomparably difficult, let alone talk about traversing the heavens.


    ��I can make you become stronger!�� The mysterious voice said.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Do you have a mystic art to condense the divine soul?��


    ��Divine soul? You��re talking about people of the Lower Realms, right? People of the Lower Realms, as long as they don��t enter reincarnation, condensing the divine soul isn��t considered a very profound method. It��s just that your current realm is a little too low. So you can��t execute it at all.��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes instantly erupted with a shocking light like the sun in the dark night.


    He finally saw hope!


    However, he forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a solemn voice, ��Words alone are no proof!��


    That mysterious voice said, ��This is easy. This divinity will impart you a soul race mystic art right now! After you cultivate it to the realm of major accomplishment, forget about condensing the divine soul; what��s difficult about condensing origin divinities?��


    As he said, a set of mystic art actually appeared in Ye Yuan��s mind!


    He could not help being greatly shocked. He actually did not have the slightest strength to fight back in front of this existence.


    A set of mystic art, he actually instilled it directly into Ye Yuan��s consciousness!


    It could be seen how terrifying the other party��s strength was!


    He forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and started studying this mystic art.


    Upon cultivating it, he could not help being even more shocked inwardly.


    How profound, what a powerful origin divinity mystic art!


    This mystic art was called Divine Emergence.


    This was a powerful mystic art that cultivated the origin divinity. When cultivated to the extreme, one could rely on the power of the origin divinity and confront Heavenly Stratum powerhouses head-on!


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity was undying and imperishable in the Heavenspan World.


    But facing Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, his origin divinity was still too weak.


    The origin divinity was similarly a weak link to Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    But, if he successfully cultivated Divine Emergence, his origin divinity would become powerful to the extreme.


    Even if his physical body was destroyed, his origin divinity would still be able to exist independently and continue cultivating to become stronger!


    That mysterious voice said, ��Speaking of which, chaos origin divinities are mostly naturally born. One such as yours, cultivating into chaos origin divinity post-natal, it��s in the minority! Your chaos origin divinity is extremely suitable to cultivate this Divine Emergence mystic art. With your talent, if you actually don��t cultivate soul techniques, it��s rather a waste!��


    Regardless of whether it was ascenders or native powerhouses, each person��s origin divinity had its own attribute.


    This attribute was closely related to how one broke through to Heavenly Stratum.


    Some people��s origin divinity was lightning attribute; some were fire attribute too, so on and so forth.


    Chaos origin divinity was an extremely seldom-seen existence among Heavenly Stratum powerhouses too.


    Therefore, when Jun Tian saw Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity back then, that was why he would be so surprised.


    The chaos origin divinity had no attributes, or should one say, it had well-rounded attributes; having extremely strong malleability!


    For example, lightning attribute could only cultivate lightning soul techniques. When cultivating other methods, the effect would be greatly reduced.


    But the chaos origin divinity would not!


    Chaos could develop myriad things; regardless of which attribute soul technique, he could execute it.


    Hence, Heavenly Stratum powerhouses that possessed the chaos origin divinity were actually most suited to walk the origin divinity path!


    But origin divinity path cultivation methods and mystic arts were too rare in the Rainclear Continent.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan had a treasure mountain, but he had no way of excavating it. Got to say, it was quite a regret.


    But, if Ye Yuan successfully cultivated this Divine Emergence mystic art, it would be another trump card of his!


    Obtaining the Divine Emergence mystic art, Ye Yuan behaved like he obtained a priceless treasure, and he started cultivating unconsciously.


    Cultivation was timeless. No idea how long had passed either, and then Ye Yuan finally awake from cultivation.


    He only felt that his origin divinity was almost emerging from his body!


    His chaos origin divinity was actually several times stronger than before!


    ��What a powerful origin divinity mystic art! I didn��t expect that mastering the first level can make the origin divinity several times stronger! Now, I only need a single thought, and I��ll probably be able to effortlessly kill powerhouses at Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and below!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that that mysterious voice actually did not respond, and he could not help being very curious.


    ��Senior?��


    ��Mn, I��m here!��


    Only hearing this voice, did Ye Yuan set his mind at ease.


    That voice exclaimed in shock, ��You, boy, are really a genius in cultivating soul techniques! You actually only used one month and mastered the first level! If not for seeing that you possess true dragon��s blood, I��d even think that you were born in the soul race! Back then, the soul race��s number one genius, Hun Qiansui, also used three full years before successfully cultivating the first level!��


    In this one month, the mysterious voice had been in shock the whole time.


    The progress of Ye Yuan��s cultivation was seriously too fast.


    Ye Yuan did not know the origin of this Divine Emergence, but he was perfectly clear!


    The soul race had three great soul canons, this Divine Emergence was one of them!


    Back then, he killed a top powerhouse from the soul race before snatching away this secret canon from the other party.


    It took him a hundred years to cultivate the first level of this Divine Emergence.


    And back then, he was already an apex character who commanded the 33 Heavens.


    But even so, it took him a hundred years to just cultivate the first level. The profoundness of this soul canon could be seen.


    But Ye Yuan only used a month and finished cultivating the first level.


    This speed was simply even more terrifying than the soul race!


    The soul race��s secret canon was cultivated by a half-human half-dragon fellow, and the speed was actually dozens of times faster than the soul race��s number one genius!


    Got to say, this was a kind of irony!


    He naturally did not know that cultivating until this day, Ye Yuan��s understanding of the divine soul path was extremely profound in the first place.


    Otherwise, how could Ye Yuan rely on his own strength and achieve the chaos origin divinity in a sealed Heavenspan World?


    ��Many thanks to Senior for imparting the Dao! Regarding Senior��s request, even if Ye Yuan��s bones are ground to dust, I��ll complete it too!�� Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    The Divine Emergence had a total of seven levels. As long as he cultivated to the third level, Ye Yuan would be able to perform a secret art in it, called Divinity Assembly!


    This technique was precisely the method to condense origin divinity!


    At that time, he should be able to truly revive Mu Lingxue!


    Ye Yuan killed all the way to the 33 Heavens from the Heavenspan World. It was for the sake of today. So how could he not be agitated?


    This mysterious powerhouse imparted to him this cultivation method. With Ye Yuan��s disposition, he would naturally fulfill his wishes even if his bones were ground to dust!


    The mysterious powerhouse said, ��Mn, it��s good that you have this heart! This divinity is really a little tired and wants to go back home! This divinity, Mi Tian, will follow you in the future!��

 Chapter 2689 - I’m Very Happy!

    Chapter 2689: I��m Very Happy!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Thump!


    Thump!


    The sound of heartbeats suddenly entered Ye Yuan��s ears.


    The darkness faded, and a heart appeared in front of Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, the heart started to shrink, then shrunk again.


    Finally, it turned into a small and exquisite red crystal and flew toward Ye Yuan.


    ��It��s my dragon heart. It will be lodging in your body in the future. The dragon qi in the dragon heart will nourish your true dragon bloodline and be greatly beneficial to you! I hope that one day, you can bring me home!�� Mi Tian��s voice transmitted out of the dragon heart.


    Finished saying, he did not wait for Ye Yuan to refuse either. The dragon heart flew straight between Ye Yuan��s eyebrows and disappeared.


    Ye Yuan felt as if a round of spring rain was currently nourishing all the blood in his body.


    This feeling made him extremely refreshed.


    ��Senior Mi Tian, rest assured. What Ye Yuan promised you, I��ll definitely do it!�� Ye Yuan said firmly.


    �� ��


    Outside of the karst cave, the seven great sea regions�� young powerhouses have already assembled.


    However, there were still many people who remained in the Land of Dragon Slumber forever.


    Some rejoiced, some bemoaned.


    Some people died, but there were naturally some who attained Dao.


    ��Congratulations, Brother Youqing. You��re probably the biggest winner among us apart from Younger Sister Jingfei!�� Muchen said to Youqing with a smile.


    ��This is just something to be expected! The happiest thing is that that guy won��t be coming out again! See? What did I say? Feeling the calling of the Land of Dragon Slumber and getting the protection of the Land of Dragon Slumber might not be a good thing! Now, it��s indeed like this, right?��


    Youqing was very happy, really happy.


    Entering the Land of Dragon Slumber this time, he obtained considerably lucky chances, his cultivation directly reaching the realm of grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Not only that, he even obtained a dragon race mystic art that could let his bloodline power continuously improve!


    With this mystic art, he might become a true dragon in the future.


    Of course, what made him happiest was still that Ye Yuan did not come out!


    The Land of Dragon Slumber��s restrictions were already slowly recovering. It was about to recover like it was new soon.


    Those who had not come out yet were basically confirmed that they could not come out anymore.


    He was already very sure that that mysterious summoning was simply a huge trap.


    Ye Yuan must have already died inside after entering.


    This matter made him even happier than when he broke through his cultivation realm and obtained the dragon race mystic art.


    ��Hahaha, Brother Youqing indeed foretold with divine accuracy! That cocky guy has died inside!�� Muchen gave Youqing a big thumbs up as he said with a loud laugh.


    He was very happy too!


    Youqing said smugly, ��Huhu, this guy thought that he was a genius, but he was an out-and-out moron! This was clearly a trap, he actually jumped in just like that.��


    ��Humph! Big Brother Ye Yuan won��t die. He��ll definitely come out!�� Little Dragon Girl pouted and said unhappily.


    To talk about this Land of Dragon Slumber trip, the biggest winner was none other than Little Dragon Girl.


    Her bloodline power already reached the terrifying peak eighth segment, being only half a step away from the ninth segment!


    Apart from this, she even obtained many good things with Ye Yuan��s help.


    These things could all increase bloodline power.


    With these things, Little Dragon Girl evolving to the realm of a true dragon was virtually a sure bet.


    Furthermore, Little Dragon Girl��s realm also directly jumped to grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Her improvement was even greater than Youqing!


    One had to know, she rose up from lower Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    Those dragon race good stuff, Ye Yuan did not want a single one of them and gave it all to Little Dragon Girl.


    Little Dragon Girl liked to play pranks, but it did not mean that she could not tell good from bad.


    She had a good impression of Ye Yuan to begin with.


    Now, she was even more grateful to Ye Yuan.


    So, when she saw Youqing��s gloating appearance, she felt very unhappy.


    Not far away, Black Flood Dragon King was also frowning slightly, his expression grim.


    He was very optimistic about Ye Yuan and felt that he definitely would not fall in the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    Who knew that he really fell!


    If not for that he could not enter the Land of Dragon Slumber, he even wished to rush inside right now.


    Youqing��s words made him inexplicably a little irritated.


    But right then, the restrictions of the Land of Dragon Slumber were finally restored again.


    Youqing laughed loudly and said, ��Young Sister Jingfei, even if your Big Brother Ye Yuan isn��t dead, it��s impossible to come out anymore too! This restriction, even Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses can��t break it too. Do you think that he can come out? Hahaha ����


    In his excitement, Youqing burst out laughing.


    ��Noisy!��


    Youqing was currently being pleased with himself when Black Flood Dragon King flung a slap over.


    Against a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven mighty expert, he did not even have time to react and was directly slapped flying.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter.


    No one expected that Black Flood Dragon King would actually get so angry.


    Youqing clutched his face and said with a look of surprise, ��Black Flood Dragon King, you �� you dared to hit me?��


    Black Flood Dragon King had a dark look and said, ��Still dare to be noisy, this king will kill you right now! Can Jia Lan that guy do anything to this king?��


    Youqing��s expression changed, only then, knowing that Black Flood Dragon King had genuinely become enraged.


    It was just that, he did not understand why Black Flood Dragon King would suddenly get angry.


    Could it be because of Ye Yuan that punk?


    But Ye Yuan was not considered as being respectful to Black Flood Dragon King either. In fact, he was a little domineering. So Black Flood Dragon King should have no reason to like him.


    How baffling!


    However, Black Flood Dragon King flying into a rage, he naturally did not dare to speak up anymore and could only suffer a quiet loss.


    He did not have the qualifications to challenge Black Flood Dragon King right now. Even if his royal father came, he would at most be about on par with Black Flood Dragon King too.


    ��You �� You guys, quickly look!�� Right then, someone suddenly started yelling.


    That voice was as if he had seen a ghost.


    Black Flood Dragon King and Youqing both followed the voice and looked over, and could not help being dumbstruck with amazement.


    Ye Yuan actually walked out of the Land of Dragon Slumber with a swagger just like that.


    That restriction power seemed to be non-existent!


    ��This �� How is this possible? How �� How did he do it? Why didn��t these restrictions kill him? He �� He��s actually not dead!�� Youqing had a look of shock, asking several questions in one breath.


    Except, no one could answer him.


    Because even Black Flood Dragon King did not know what happened either.


    The scene before their eyes had never happened in the Land of Dragon Slumber before.


    ��Too inconceivable! The restrictions were already restored, and yet he could actually still come out!��


    ��Wasn��t he dead? How did he revive again?��


    ��Damn it, this boy��s life is really tenacious!��


    �� ��


    When these young powerhouses saw Ye Yuan, beyond the shock, each and every one was incomparably disappointed.


    No one expected that Ye Yuan could actually come back to life!


    Black Flood Dragon King was in extreme shock too, but the fury on his face had long already vanished without a trace. What replaced it was joy!


    Yes, he was extremely happy!


    Ye Yuan being able to come out was the best thing for him!


    Furthermore, he could also excavate even more secrets from Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan looked at Youqing��s face like his father had died, and said with a smile, ��Looking at your expression, it seems like you are very disappointed that I could come out! But, seeing your expression like this, I��m very happy..��

 Chapter 2690 - Reaping What One Has Sown

    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, they all said that you couldn��t come out. But I knew that you��d definitely come out! Hehe, see, I guess correctly, right?��


    Little Dragon Girl dashed into Ye Yuan��s arms at once and raised her head as if showing off.


    Black Flood Dragon King also came up and said with a smile, ��Just now, seeing that Young Friend Ye didn��t come out, this king was very worried. Young Friend Ye is indeed a lucky one!��


    Although the father and daughter two people were pleasantly surprised, it was quite different on the inside.


    Little Dragon Girl was sincerely blessing him, but Black Flood Dragon King was hiding a dagger in his smile.


    Ye Yuan stroked Little Dragon Girl��s head and flashed her a slight smile.


    Ye Yuan looked towards Youqing and said with a faint smile, ��Since everyone came out, then we should also settle some scores!��


    Youqing was taken aback and said with a cold smile, ��Settle scores? Huhu, it��s time to settle scores! In the Land of Dragon Slumber, there was that mysterious power protecting you, letting you escape a calamity by a fluke! Now, I want to see who can still save you!��


    Coming out of the Land of Dragon Slumber, Ye Yuan��s aura did not increase much, he was still a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    While his strength had skyrocketed.


    Let alone that those three Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratums also had a sharp increase in strength.


    Wouldn��t dealing with a mere Ye Yuan be easily accomplished?


    Before Ye Yuan said anything, Little Dragon Girl immediately said, ��Big Brother Youqing, if you dare to make a move against Big Brother Ye Yuan, I��ll help him beat you!��


    Little Dragon Girl��s words made Youqing��s expression change.


    This lass was not to be trifled with!


    Especially the Emerald Sea Divine Conch in her hand, it was simply a dreadful thing.


    Even three Jade Sovereign Heavens attacking together was not a match as well!


    Youqing��s face fell and he looked towards Black Flood Dragon King and said, ��Dragon Lord, is your Thistle South Sea Region really going to intervene in our personal grudge?��


    Black Flood Dragon King just said coolly, ��You and Ye Yuan are both my Thistle South��s guests. As long as you��re in my Thistle South Sea Region, you naturally can��t attack. If you insist on making a move against him, then this king can only take action.��


    Youqing��s face turned black, immediately feeling that life was murky gray.


    He shot Ye Yuan a fierce glare and gritted his teeth and said, ��Punk, consider yourself lucky, let��s go!��


    Now that he had already made great gains, Youqing naturally did not have the need to continue staying here anymore.


    He brought his people and was just about to leave, but heard Ye Yuan say coolly, ��Did I say that I let you go?��


    Youqing turned to look at Ye Yuan and could not help laughing as he said, ��Why? What can you really do to me? Just based on your middling skills, do you really think that you��re somebody of note?��


    Buzz!


    Youqing��s voice had just faded when he felt as if his origin divinity was struck by a bolt of lightning.


    His origin divinity actually started to disintegrate under this bolt of lightning.


    His eyes started to turn slack, his consciousness gradually blurring.


    Finally, he fell softly to the ground.


    ��Dragon Son!��


    Those three Jade Sovereign Heavens turned pale with fright and hurriedly went up to check, but they discovered that Youqing had already breathed his last.


    One exchange and Youqing was dead!


    Ye Yuan was quite satisfied with the power of this Heaven Illuminating Divine Lightning move.


    Many origin divinity mystic arts were recorded in the Divine Emergence, the power being extremely shocking.


    Ye Yuan was also just trying his hand against Youqing. He did not expect that the power was pretty good.


    A grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was actually one-shotted in an instant!


    At this time, Ye Yuan also deeply felt the power of this soul race mystic art.


    ��Origin divinity attack! What a powerful origin divinity attack!�� Black Flood Dragon King��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise.


    Regarding this scene earlier, even he did not react in time.


    A lower Limitless Sublime Heaven actually used an origin divinity attack to one-shot a grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum. This was not what ordinary origin divinity attacks could accomplish!


    Moreover, Youqing was not an ordinary person.


    Although Youqing was a pseudo-dragon, his origin divinity was still much stronger than the average human martial artist.


    But Ye Yuan still one-shotted him!


    One of the Jade Sovereign Heaven suddenly raised his head and said angrily, ��You dared to kill Dragon Son! Today, you must die!��


    In an instant, three Jade Sovereign Heavens arrived at the same time.


    Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit afraid and roared loudly, ��Heaven Illuminating Divine Lightning!��


    Three origin divinity attacks were launched at the same time!


    The lower Limitless Sublime Heaven Ye Yuan actually took the initiative to attack three great Jade Sovereign Heavens!


    Buzz!


    The three people only felt their heads become muddled. Their origin divinities were actually directly paralyzed!


    The origin divinity of a Jade Sovereign Heaven was incomparably powerful. But Ye Yuan��s Heaven Illuminating Divine Lightning still dazed them for a short time.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan��s Heavenspan Mountain suddenly burst forth, turning into a streak of black smoke, smashing towards one of the Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    ��Pffft!��


    That person spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, flying out backward.


    This scene struck deep terror in everyone!


    Ye Yuan��s combat power refreshed their understanding over and over again!


    A lower Limitless Sublime Heaven actually confronted three great Jade Sovereign Heavens at the same time, and even seriously injured one!


    ��This guy is really too strong!��


    ��Origin divinity attack being coupled with a heavenly spirit treasure, there��s simply no weakness to exploit!��


    ��It��s also that the three of them are all Jade Sovereign Heavens. Otherwise, that origin divinity attack would probably have been able to instantly kill three people! What kind of lucky chance did this guy obtain inside?��


    �� ��


    No matter how weak a Jade Sovereign Heaven was, it was a Sovereign Realm powerhouse too, they were on completely different levels from Sublime Realm powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan broke this law and actually severely wounded the other party!


    However, after this bout of attack, Ye Yuan appeared very weak too, his complexion a little pale.


    After all, it was Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. This bout of origin divinity attacks was still rather taxing for him.


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    ��Roar, roar, roar!��


    More than ten peak Jade Sovereign Heaven water dragons suddenly rampaged, attacking the weakened Ye Yuan.


    The power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch suddenly bloomed!


    Little Dragon Girl��s expression changed wildly, and she exclaimed, ��Royal Father, why did you attack Big Brother Ye Yuan?��


    This attack was launched precisely by Black Flood Dragon King deploying the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    Black Flood Dragon King taking action, the power of the water dragon was not what Little Dragon Girl could compare to.


    The strength of these water dragons was all peak Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Against more than ten peak Jade Sovereign Heaven water dragons, even if they encountered a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, it would be a cinch too.


    But now, it was actually used to deal with a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Of course, Black Flood Dragon King did not attack with his full strength.


    If he exerted his full strength, he would be able to launch several half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven super water dragons!


    That level of existence, even other royals would have to keep a wide berth too!


    It was also precisely by relying on the power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch that Black Flood Dragon King showed completely no regard for the other royal clans in the seven great sea regions.


    When those three great Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses saw this scene, they had wildly ecstatic expressions too.


    They did not expect that Black Flood Dragon King actually made a move to deal with Ye Yuan!


    This sudden turn of events was what everyone did not expect.


    Furthermore, it was even taking advantage of his predicament!


    It was just that at this time, no one detected that a hint of disdain showed at the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    A dark-red imprint suddenly lit up at his glabella.


    Those over a dozen water dragons already arrived in front of him, but suddenly turned around and pounced over toward the Black Flood Dragon King himself.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately dumbfounded.


    What was going on?


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed too, suddenly bursting forth with a surge of dragon qi.


    ��Flood Dragon Goes to Sea!��


    Black Flood Dragon King threw both fists out, a terrifying undulation smashed towards those water dragons.


    Rumble!


    Black Flood Dragon King fell back several thousand feet, his complexion becoming very pale.


    He looked toward Ye Yuan, eyes full of shock..

 Chapter 2691 - : It No Longer Belongs to You!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What happened? Weren��t these water dragons summoned by Black Flood Dragon King? Why did they attack him instead?��


    ��He is a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven expert, but he was actually struck back several thousand feet by the water dragons that he summoned! This is simply something unheard of.��


    ��I seemed to have seen Ye Yuan use a spell just now. But isn��t the Emerald Sea Divine Conch the Thistle South Royal Clan��s lifeblood treasure?��


    �� ��


    He could not figure it out after racking his brains!


    Ever since the Black Flood Dragon King obtained the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, he could be said to have shocked the seven great sea regions.


    This kind of grandmist treasure was extremely rare in the seven great sea regions too.


    But now, this thing was actually not listening to orders anymore!


    And the one who was the most shocked was none other than Black Flood Dragon King.


    He had already obtained the Emerald Sea Divine Conch for ten thousand years and had long already refined it into his own item.


    But just earlier, he actually lost control of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!


    He was unable to understand how Ye Yuan did it!


    Just now, Ye Yuan being weak made Black Flood Dragon King realize that it was the best opportunity to make a move and capture Ye Yuan.


    But who would have expected that Ye Yuan actually still had such a contingency move!


    The most important thing was that he examined his own heart and felt that he never showed any hostility all along. But that scene earlier, it was as if Ye Yuan had long expected it.


    Virtually right as he made a move, Ye Yuan took countermeasures.


    Why?


    Ye Yuan looked at Black Flood Dragon King and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Finally can��t refrain from making a move? I even thought that you were planning on returning to the dragon palace before taking action.��


    Only then did Black Flood Dragon King confirm that Ye Yuan really knew about it long ago, and took precautions in advance!


    His brows furrowed slightly and he said, ��This king is certain that I��ve never shown hostility before. How did you know?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Still remember my breakthrough before entering the Land of Dragon Slumber? Very unfortunately, I entered a state of emptiness at that time and became perfectly aware of everything here. At that time, I detected it.��


    Black Flood Dragon King��s face fell, secretly regretting it.


    If he had long known that it would be like this, he would not have let Ye Yuan enter the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    But back then, Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was too low.


    Even if he extracted the dragon marrow, he also did not dare guarantee that he would be able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Who would have thought that this sudden turn of events would actually occur?


    ��Royal Father, Big Brother Ye Yuan is a good person! Why do you want to kill him?�� Little Dragon Girl mumbled, her expression unhappy.


    Black Flood Dragon King snorted coldly and said, ��At this point, there��s nothing to hide anymore as well! Although this kind obtained considerable lucky chances in the Land of Dragon Slumber, I still haven��t been able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. The dragon marrow in this boy��s body is a great tonic to this king! As long as this king fuses with his dragon marrow, I��ll naturally be able to pierce through this last layer of window pane paper!��


    Only when everyone heard that did they come to a realization!


    Ye Yuan was also taken aback. He even thought that him ruining the sea war made Black Flood Dragon King bear hatred in his heart. He did not expect that he was actually eyeing the bloodline power in his body.


    ��Boy, since you already know, you should have some awareness, right? Offer your dragon marrow, and this king can spare your life. In fact, I can even let you be an idle dragon king in the Thistle South Sea Region and spend the second half of your life in comfort,�� Black Flood Dragon King said coolly.


    Although this scene earlier was very surprising, he was a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven at any rate too.


    Even if he did not utilize the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, just by relying on his own strength, he was terrifying to the extreme too. He naturally would not think that Ye Yuan could escape.


    Moreover, it was not just him alone who wanted to kill Ye Yuan here!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze also turned slightly chilly, the dragon marrow was essential to the dragon race!


    Bloodline power was born from the dragon marrow.


    Without the dragon marrow, it would be equivalent to the martial artist losing their small world; still cultivate what shit!


    Although it was not fatal, it would be tantamount to ruining the future of a martial artist.


    Not killing someone, but even scarier than killing someone.


    ��Royal Father, how can you do this?�� Little Dragon Girl said angrily.


    Black Flood Dragon King snorted coldly and said, ��Jingfei, after Royal Father fuses with the dragon marrow and breaks through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, I��ll be this seven great sea regions�� true king! At that time, you��ll be the seven seas princess!��


    ��I don��t want to be whatever seven seas princess! I only want Big Brother Ye Yuan! You can��t kill him!�� Little Dragon Girl said stubbornly.


    Black Flood Dragon King frowned and said, ��That��s not up to you! Black Shark, take her away!��


    ��I��m not going! I��m not going!��


    Little Dragon Girl had a stubborn look and was about to urge the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    But she discovered that the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was solid as a rock. She could not control it at all.


    She was still a little too weak in front of Black Flood Dragon King.


    Without the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, her being restrained by Black Shark was also within reason.


    Finished with these, Black Flood Dragon King looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Boy, looks like you really obtained quite a lot in the Land of Dragon Slumber, to actually be able to reverse-control the Emerald Sea Divine Conch! But, even if this king doesn��t use the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, do you think that you can escape?��


    Boom!


    The moment Black Flood Dragon King��s aura released, that terrifying pressure made the faces of everyone present change abruptly.


    He was a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven expert. An expert of such realm was absolutely apex existences in the seven great sea regions.


    They rarely made a move. Hence, these dragon sons could be considered to have broadened their horizons looking at one making a move.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said with a grin, ��If you��re using the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, I��ll use it then!��


    Black Flood Dragon King was taken aback and could not help laughing as he said, ��You want to use it? What do you base on to use it? I��ve refined the Emerald Sea Divine Conch for 12 thousand years, it has long already fused into one with me!��


    And just as he was talking, Ye Yuan already started forming seals.


    Black Flood Dragon King was currently talking by himself when suddenly, his expression changed.


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch actually had an impulse to break free from his body.


    He suddenly discovered that he could not quite control the Emerald Sea Divine Conch anymore.


    In order to not get counter-controlled by Ye Yuan, he already hid the Emerald Sea Divine Conch inside his body just now.


    ��Damn it! You �� How did you do it?��


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed wildly. He desperately appealed to the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, but his control over it was still being lost bit by bit.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch actually flew out of the Black Flood Dragon King��s body!


    Seeing this scene, everyone��s faces changed.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Black Flood Dragon King is actually unable to control the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!��


    ��Just what kind of fortuitous encounter did that boy obtain in the Land of Dragon Slumber?��


    ��Snatched away! I-It��s really snatched away!��


    �� ��


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch turned into a streak of light and actually flew straight toward Ye Yuan, suspending in front of him.


    Black Flood Dragon King��s face was gloomy to the extreme.


    Because he discovered that the connection between him and the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was completely severed!


    In these ten thousand years, it was still the first time that such a thing happened.


    Once this level of treasures was finished refining, then it would fuse into one with him. Unless he was killed, otherwise, it would not be able to be stripped at all.


    But Ye Yuan actually did it!


    Ye Yuan looked at Black Flood Dragon King and said coolly, ��The Emerald Sea Divine Conch originated from the Land of Dragon Slumber to begin with. Letting you use it for so many years, it��s also considered a blessing to you. Today, I��ll take it back! It no longer belongs to you!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan formed seals again.


    The imprint that Black Flood Dragon King left behind in the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was actually directly wiped away.


    ��Pffft!��


    Black Flood Dragon King seemed to have suffered a serious injury, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    Clearly, his mind already suffered damage.


    He looked at Ye Yuan, with a pair of angry eyes almost, seemingly wanting to incinerate Ye Yuan..

 Chapter 2692 - : Emerald Sea Divine Conch’s True Power!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Ye Yuan, I want you dead!��


    Black Flood Dragon King��s roar practically made the seabed boil.


    The powerhouses were all extremely shocked.


    Of course, what surprised them even more was that Ye Yuan actually really stripped away the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!


    The current Ye Yuan was like a ruler. The things that he bestowed upon you were all taken back.


    Black Flood Dragon King completely rampaged, the aura of half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven being released fully.


    It was only to see his dragon head open its gaping maws. A light ball spat out of his mouth.


    ��That��s the Black Flood Dragon King��s consummate skill that made him famous, Dragon Flame Bullet! It was said that back then, he used this move and defeated the Cang Xuan Sea Region��s Black Mountain Dragon King by a hair��s breadth! Looks like Black Flood Dragon King is genuinely enraged!��


    ��Even if Ye Yuan controls the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, he can��t escape death either. The strength of a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven is too terrifying.��


    ��Ye Yuan wouldn��t think that by taking in the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, he��d be able to defeat a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, right? That��s a powerful existence that has half a foot stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Black Flood Dragon King use his famed consummate skill, everyone immediately sentenced Ye Yuan to death.


    Half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, although it was not a real Saint Sovereign Heaven, their strength was also far from what one could mention in the same breath as Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    And Ye Yuan was just a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    The two people��s disparity was too great!


    The moment the Dragon Flame Bullet appeared, the entire seabed was turned upside down.


    That terrifying pressure made everyone keep a wide berth.


    Ye Yuan was situated in the midst of the storm, without the slightest fear as he said coolly, ��Black Flood Dragon King, you��ve obtained the Emerald Sea Divine Conch for so many years and look to be infinitely glorious. But you��re merely a pseudo-dragon and can��t unleash the true power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch at all. Today, I��ll let you witness the Emerald Sea Divine Conch��s true power!��


    All of a sudden, the true dragon power in Ye Yuan��s body erupted.


    The entire seabed seemed to be transmitting out waves of dragon roars.


    The expressions of the dragon race members present suddenly changed in an instant.


    Under this pressure, they actually had an impulse to kneel down.


    In reality, some dragon race members with impure bloodlines were already kneeling on the ground and could not even raise their heads.


    Among them even included a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    And after the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was flooded with this dragon might, it became incomparably dazzling.


    It seemed to have come to life!


    Black Flood Dragon King��s pupils constricted slightly, his eyes full of astonishment.


    He had never seen the Emerald Sea Divine Conch be so excited before despite being in his hands for so many years.


    Yes, excitement!


    Divine objects had spirits, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, this level of heaven-defying treasure, was naturally spiritual.


    After all, having possessed the Emerald Sea Divine Conch for so many years, Black Flood Dragon King could faintly feel the ��happiness�� of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch currently!


    That feeling was like the regret of a bright pearl being cast into darkness for so many years in his hands.


    At this time, it finally bloomed to its true colors!


    ��Emerald Sea Tide, Heaven-defying Torrent!��


    Ye Yuan roared and the torrent of the seabed actually turned the other way in an instant.


    At that moment, it was as if the entire ocean had become Ye Yuan��s weapon!


    Under this torrent, Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses could not stand firmly too and were directly swept away by the torrent.


    Only at this time, did they understand what was called floodwaters surging!


    As the saying went, the water that could carry the boat was the same that could swallow it up.


    These true spirit seafolk were all kings in the water.


    They were like fish in the water.


    But now they currently felt as if they were in hell.


    That feeling of having no command over themselves made them feel at a loss on what to do.


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed wildly. These astonishing floodwaters were actually not the slightest bit inferior to his power!


    He understood that this was not Ye Yuan��s own strength, but the Emerald Sea Divine Conch��s power.


    Ye Yuan��s move that solved a major problem with little effort was used too breathtakingly!


    His bloodline power was the lever while the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was that fulcrum.


    Ye Yuan used this lever to move the power of the entire seabed.


    No matter how strong the Black Flood Dragon King��s strength was, it was also impossible to be stronger than the entire ocean.


    He was insignificant in the ocean!


    ��Dragon Flame Bullet, break for me!��


    Facing such a shocking torrent, Black Flood Dragon King did not have other methods either and could only fight power with power!


    Fortunately, his strength was much stronger than Ye Yuan and he still had the power to fight.


    It was also thanks to Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm being low. If he was Jade Sovereign Heaven realm, this torrent could directly turn him into meat paste.


    Under the watchful gazes of everyone, the Dragon Flame Bullet collided together with this astonishing torrent.


    Rumble!


    The violent explosion directly sank the seabed several hundred feet!


    The terrifying power directly blasted those sea race powerhouses flying.


    Even if they had already evaded very far away.


    Black Flood Dragon King spurted fresh blood wildly from his mouth and was akin to being struck by lightning. How did he still have the demeanor of a king?


    Although Ye Yuan��s complexion was a little pale too, it was not a serious problem.


    Clearly, Black Flood Dragon King was defeated.


    ��This �� Is this the true power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch? It��s simply too terrifying!��


    ��It��s also that Ye Yuan is just Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum. If he reached Jade Sovereign Heaven, wouldn��t he swept across the seven great sea regions just by relying on this Emerald Sea Divine Conch?��


    ��More than sweep across! Even if a Saint Sovereign Heaven runs into him, they will have to give a wide berth too, right? Even the Dragon Flame Bullet can��t block the power of this torrent, it��s too terrifying!��


    �� ��


    The expressions of many sea race powerhouses were deathly pale too. Clearly, they were frightened by the power of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    They naturally would not think that this was Ye Yuan��s own strength. But, similarly using the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, the power was completely different in the hands of Black Flood Dragon King compared to it being in the hands of Ye Yuan.


    This already indicated many problems to begin with.


    At least, the dragon might in Ye Yuan��s body had obtained the true recognition of the Emerald Sea Divine Conch.


    Even if Black Flood Dragon King already refined it for ten thousand years, it was useless too!


    Ye Yuan looked at Black Flood Dragon King and said disdainfully, ��Emerald Sea Divine Conch is a high-grade grandmist treasure, its power being boundless! Unleashing its power with your bloodline power, it doesn��t even reach 10%! It��s simply a bright pearl that��s cast into darkness in your hands! Furthermore, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch still has many brilliant uses, but you �� don��t understand it at all!��


    As if to confirm Ye Yuan��s words, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch circled around Ye Yuan. It was as if it was a lively elf.


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help clicking their tongues in wonder.


    Even a fool could also tell that the Emerald Sea Divine Conch really found its home now.


    Black Flood Dragon King��s complexion was ashen, with indescribable despair on his face.


    He did not expect that he actually lost so thoroughly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I won��t offend people unless I��m offended! Originally, I only came to Thistle South Sea Region due to Jingfei��s invitation. But you had impure motives. Then it can��t be blamed on this Ye!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan formed a seal with his hands again, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch erupted with a terrifying power once more.


    This time, it was the final hit.


    Leaving behind a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven enemy was not Ye Yuan��s style.


    ��Don��t! Big Brother Ye Yuan!�� Right at this time, Little Dragon Girl suddenly cried.


    Ye Yuan��s movements suddenly turned stiff and he looked toward Jingfei.


    Little Dragon Girl wept as she yelled, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, I beg you! Please don��t kill my royal father! He �� He��s the best royal father in the world!��


    When Ye Yuan heard this, his brows could not help furrowing.


    Although this lass loved to play pranks, she was just not mature yet.


    Previously, when Black Flood Dragon King wanted to kill him, she even spoke up to stop him. It could be seen that her character was not bad.


    Now, Ye Yuan could not help feeling a little troubled..

 Chapter 2693 - Returning to the Original Owner!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan was silent, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions.


    Who could have thought that by making a trip to the Land of Dragon Slumber, this measly little Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum could actually decide the life and death of the seven great kings?


    After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Alright, I can spare his life. But death penalty can be spared; punishment can��t be escaped! Black Flood Dragon King, cripple your own cultivation,and then I can let you off. From now on, you��ll stay in this Thistle South Sea Region and be an idle dragon king!��


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed and he scolded angrily, ��You might as well kill me!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you��re not willing, then I can only do it myself.��


    It was only to see him recite a spell. The Emerald Sea Divine Conch activated again!


    Boom!


    Hundreds of water dragons suddenly condensed in the deep sea.


    Each water dragon had the cultivation of Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Hundreds of Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, what kind of concept was that?


    Back then, when the Pill Alliance besieged the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, they merely mobilized around 100 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan directly summoned more than 100 water dragons!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    A hundred water dragons bombarded Black Flood Dragon King wildly, making everyone��s expression change from watching again.


    The torrent just now, versus these hundred water dragons, was two different kinds of impact.


    But without a doubt, they were both extremely strong!


    Furthermore, these over a hundred water dragons were not completely disorderly.


    Their fighting method was far stronger than those that Black Flood Dragon King and Little Dragon Girl summoned.


    ��Too strong! Completely different levels!��


    ��Black Flood Dragon King could only summon several water dragons of similar strength to his when he used the Emerald Sea Divine Conch. But Ye Yuan summoned hundreds of water dragons that��s even higher realm than him in one go. This is called disparity!��


    ��That��s right. Ye Yuan definitely has true dragon bloodline! I didn��t expect that a true dragon bloodline actually appeared in my seven great sea regions! The heavens of the seven great sea regions are going to change!��


    �� ��


    At this time, they all realized that the appearance of Ye Yuan, this true dragon, would make the seven great sea regions�� arrangement undergo massive changes.


    If Ye Yuan had the intention to seek hegemony, he could even dominate the seven great sea regions now and become the king of the seven seas!


    Black Flood Dragon King was severely injured in the first place. Amidst the wild bombardment, he could still barely manage to hold on at the beginning.


    But later on, he gave up completely.


    After a bout of indiscriminate bombardment, Black Flood Dragon King directly became a cripple.


    He sank to the bottom of the sea, his aura being feeble to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan arrived in front of Black Flood Dragon King and said coolly, ��You only had yourself to blame for this, can��t blame me!��


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, must �� must you do this?�� Little Dragon Girl said in tears.


    It was still Ye Yuan��s first time seeing years in this girl��s eyes.


    However, he still said cruelly, ��This is my bottom line! If he isn��t crippled, then we can only fall out and become enemies! You should know, this incident wasn��t started by me!��


    Black Shark and the rest were all silent like cicadas in winter at this time.


    It was not that they did not want to take action, but that Ye Yuan was too powerful.


    The Ye Yuan who possessed the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, his might was already sufficient to overthrow the entire Thistle South Royal Clan!


    Pray tell, who could resist these hundreds of Jade Sovereign Heaven water dragons?


    Little Dragon Girl wept bitterly, but she nodded her head and said, ��Okay!��


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that Little Dragon Girl actually nodded her head at this time.


    He even thought that he was going to fall out and become enemies with this girl because of Black Flood Dragon King.


    However, even if he killed Black Flood Dragon King, he would not make things difficult for Little Dragon Girl either.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and did not talk rubbish either, directly going up and crippling Black Flood Dragon King��s cultivation.


    Seeing the king of the seven seas become a cripple, the expressions of each and every one of the sea race powerhouses present changed slightly.


    That was one of the strongest seven people in the seven seas!


    But there were also some dragon sons that had a hint of smugness that flashed across their eyes.


    They knew that Ye Yuan��s foundation was not in the sea and that he would definitely return to the shore.


    Therefore, in the wake of Black Flood Dragon King being crippled, Thistle South Royal Clan��s decline already became inevitable.


    Thistle South Sea Region was the closest to land. It could be said to be the most prosperous sea region.


    The other sea regions had the intention of encroaching on it long ago. It was just that due to Black Flood Dragon King��s might, they did not dare to take action all along.


    But now, Black Flood Dragon King was already crippled.


    The chance came now!


    ��Uncle Black Shark, carry Royal Father, let��s go back!�� Little Dragon Girl already stopped crying at this time and ordered Black Shark expressionlessly.


    He did not see much hatred in Little Dragon Girl��s eyes.


    But he felt that Little Dragon Girl seemed to have matured at this instant!


    Little Dragon Girl was playful, but she was not stupid.


    She knew what the Thistle South Royal Clan had to face now that Black Flood Dragon King was crippled.


    Therefore, she had to become strong!


    It was not calm and tranquil in the sea.


    The seven great royal clans�� open and covert contentions had never ceased before.


    In the past, there was Black Flood Dragon King suppressing the others. Hence, Little Dragon Girl could live a carefree life.


    But now, her brothers, her mothers, all needed her to protect them!


    Right at this time, a streak of flowing light flew by.


    The Emerald Sea Divine Conch stopped in front of her.


    Little Dragon Girl looked at Ye Yuan with some surprise, uncertain what it meant.


    When the others saw this scene, their expressions changed greatly too.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, you ����


    ��The Emerald Sea Divine Conch is yours in the first place. I��m returning it to you now! With your current bloodline power, if you control the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, your strength won��t be weaker than half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven! I��ve also left the method of controlling the Emerald Sea Divine Conch inside. With your intelligence, you should be able to learn it very quickly.��


    Talking until here, Ye Yuan��s gaze turned dark and swept across the face of the numerous powerhouses and said, ��From today onward, you��re the Thistle South Royal Clan��s new dragon lord!��


    The expressions of those dragon sons concocting a scheme could not help changing drastically at this time.


    They looked at Ye Yuan with incomprehensible expressions, not understanding why he would do this.


    That was a grandmist treasure!


    Grandmist treasure, that was a treasure that Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses used!


    He actually casually gave it to Little Dragon Girl?


    Little Dragon Girl also looked at Ye Yuan with a look of surprise, as if she did not know him.


    She also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually returned the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to her!


    Before that, Little Dragon Girl had always believed that the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was hers.


    But now, she already understood, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch simply belonged to the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    And the Land of Dragon Slumber��s inheritance had already been completely acquired by Ye Yuan.


    Therefore, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch belonged to Ye Yuan!


    The power that the Emerald Sea Divine Conch unleashed in Ye Yuan��s hands, was much greater than unleashed in her hands!


    Ye Yuan possessing the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was equivalent to suddenly advancing a major cultivation realm, and could even overpower Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    Such a massive lucky chance, he actually did not want it?


    It was impossible for this kind of thing to happen to anyone.


    But, Ye Yuan did it!


    She shook her head hard and said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, this is yours. I can��t take it!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Take it! The Emerald Sea Divine Conch belongs to the sea. It can only unleash its greatest power in the sea! Following me to land, it won��t be able to even unleash half of its power. Therefore, it is better for it to follow you. Furthermore, without it, you won��t be able to protect your royal father and royal mother, as well as your siblings. So, don��t need to refuse me.��


    Little Dragon Girl��s eyes could not help becoming wet, nodding her head hard at Ye Yuan..

 Chapter 2694 - Fighting the Previous Generation!

    ��It��s here?��


    Ye Yuan looked at the two islands ahead and was absorbed in thought.


    Between the two islands was a glimpse of the sky.


    That appearance was clearly being split by someone with a sword!


    Currently, Ye Yuan was very far away from the island. But a sword energy that made the heart palpitate was faintly coming from there.


    A dragon head and human body seafolk was standing next to Ye Yuan. Who could it be if not the Black Flood Dragon King?


    More than a year had passed since the trip to the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    Ye Yuan did not leave Thistle South Sea Region right away, but held down the fort in the dragon palace for as long as a year, stabilizing the situation in Thistle South.


    Black Flood Dragon King hated Ye Yuan to the bones, but he had nothing to say about Ye Yuan��s behavior and conduct.


    At present, he had already become a cripple and could only resign himself to fate.


    After staying for a long time, Ye Yuan��s understanding of the sea race also became better.


    Not long ago, Ye Yuan learned from Black Shark that more than ten thousand years ago, a human powerhouse had once crossed the seven great sea regions and set off for the south.


    At that time, it caused a mighty uproar in the seven great sea regions.


    Actually, the seven great sea regions back then were not like the current situation. They were under the rule of three Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    The appearance of that human powerhouse triggered a joint attack by the three great Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    As a result, four great Saint Sovereign Heavens unfolded a grand battle in this stretch of sea region that Ye Yuan was standing at.


    The human powerhouse slew the three great Saint Sovereign Heavens here by himself with one sword.


    This island was cleaved apart by the human powerhouse��s one sword slash!


    Ever since then, the seven great sea regions had fallen into chaos.


    Only all the way until later seven great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens rose up did the seven great sea regions recover to their current situation.


    ��That��s right, it��s here! That great battle caused a great sensation in the entire seven great sea regions. Back then, I was just a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven and had the fortune to witness that grand battle. That human powerhouse was too strong!��


    Mentioning that person, Black Flood Dragon King still had lingering fear in his heart now.


    One had to know, a human fighting with the sea race in the ocean was a great disadvantage to begin with.


    But that person suppressed the three great Saint Sovereign Heavens from beginning to end.


    That sort of power virtually made people despair.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered indeterminately, he thought of someone.


    Zhuo Bufan!


    Calculating from the time, it seemed to be precisely what happened after Zhuo Bufan��s disappearance.


    There was a legend at that time that Zhuo Bufan walked toward the sea and left. It was just that people did not know whether it was real or fake story.


    But looking at it now, perhaps this really happened.


    Ye Yuan could not think of anyone who had this ability apart from Zhuo Bufan, to be able to overpower three great sea race Saint Sovereign Heavens with his power alone!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan stepped forward and walked toward the island.


    Black Flood Dragon King��s expression changed, and he said, ��You can��t go! That sword energy is priming with the power of Great Dao. It has stayed on this island for more than ten thousand years and still hasn��t decayed too much to this date! Even us, these half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, can��t enter the center of the sword energy too! If you go, you��ll die without a burial ground!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and continued advancing.


    The further he advanced, the more piercing cold the sword energy became.


    Swish!


    A wound was cut on Ye Yuan��s face, fresh blood dripping down.


    However, Ye Yuan was oblivious and continued advancing.


    And the sword intent in his body actually involuntarily seeped out of his body, turning into a small seedling.


    When Black Flood Dragon King saw this scene, he could not help saying gloatingly, ��Not listening to the advice of the elderly, suffering is right ahead! How can the power of a Saint Sovereign Heaven be what you can imagine? But it��s best that you get hacked into minced meat by this sword intent!��


    Black Flood Dragon King was conflicted about Ye Yuan currently.


    He hoped for Ye Yuan to go and die from the bottom of his heart.


    But, the present Thistle South Sea Region��s situation also indeed needed him to stabilize.


    In his view, Ye Yuan��s action was no different from seeking death.


    Even if he controlled the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to defeat him, under this sword intent, he was still insignificant like an ant.


    In his sea of consciousness, Mi Tian said, ��What a domineering sword energy, you can��t get in.��


    Clearly, he also felt this astonishing sword intent and woke up from his deep sleep.


    ��I know,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��You��ll die like this.�� Mi Tian said.


    ��I won��t. I want to see until which point I can walk,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Ye Yuan did not underestimate his own capability, but he was not conceited until he thought that he could compare to Zhuo Bufan currently.


    But, regarding this legendary figure, he indeed really wanted to broaden his knowledge.


    Walking until here, Ye Yuan basically already confirmed that this sword intent was indeed left behind by Zhuo Bufan.


    Because this sword intent was somewhat similar to Luo Yunqing.


    Who Luo Yunqing admired the most and held in greatest esteem in his life was Zhuo Bufan.


    So, he walked Zhuo Bufan��s path too.


    It was just that Luo Yunqing��s sword intent was far too lacking when compared to Zhuo Bufan.


    The sword energy became fiercer and fierce, and increasingly dense, virtually unavoidable.


    The wounds on Ye Yuan��s body became more and more.


    He was carefully feeling the flow of the sword intent, feeling this unparalleled, domineering sword intent.


    Ye Yuan was greatly stirred!


    Zhuo Bufan was well-deserving of being an existence that could overwhelm Rainclear Continent.


    Too strong!


    Ye Yuan��s sword intent was like a firefly compared to the bright moon in front of this sword intent!


    This sword intent was too pure, too sublime!


    Too �� powerful!


    This kind of strength was an unreasonable strength!


    No matter how exceedingly formidable your means, I would cut it with one sword!


    For more than ten thousand years, the sword intent condensed and did not scatter. It could be seen how powerful this sword intent was.


    The further forward, the stronger the oppressive force.


    Sword intent was secondary, but Ye Yuan felt that astonishing will from the sword intent.


    This was the root of Zhuo Bufan��s might!


    However, this also aroused Ye Yuan��s pride!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan completely entered a state of selflessness. His entire being was used to feel the sword intent.


    This shocking sword intent dashed around on the island, seemingly disorderly and unsystematic.


    But Ye Yuan was similarly proficient in Sword Dao. He could feel the faintly discernible rule undulation in it.


    This was Sword Dao. This was a world of swords!


    How could it possibly be disorderly and unsystematic?


    The eight transformed swords fully bloomed at this moment.


    They unfolded a frenzied exchange with Zhuo Bufan��s sword intent.


    But Ye Yuan��s hand was gripped on the branch.


    The ninth transformed sword!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan urged his Sword Dao to the extreme.


    He was currently in a situation as if fighting with an invisible opponent, the battle situation fierce to the extreme.


    Far away, Black Flood Dragon King watched until his countenance changed visibly.


    He completely did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually be strong to such an extent.


    Furthermore, the road that Ye Yuan covered currently already far exceeded ordinary Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    This place was the seven great sea regions�� legendary place.


    Every year, there were powerhouses and geniuses that came here to challenge the sword intent.


    But there were very few who could survive.


    In these ten thousand years, many genius powerhouses had sprung up in the sea race too.


    There was once a genius that had extremely high hopes of reaching Saint Sovereign Heaven. When he was at peak Jade Sovereign Heaven, he came to challenge the sword intent here.


    In the end, he fell at a place that was still ten thousand feet away from the island.


    Stepping on the island and entering that fissure, that place was where the sword intent was at the height of its power.


    And currently, Ye Yuan was 15 thousand feet away from the island!


    This result already made many Jade Sovereign Heavens perspire from embarrassment..

 Chapter 2695 - Beyond the Sea!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    �� Roughly 15 thousand feet, that should be his limit!�� Black Flood Dragon King looked at Ye Yuan and said with certainty.


    Because he saw that Ye Yuan was currently already extremely strained.


    He practically could not advance anymore.


    This place was his bottleneck!


    Indeed, the sword intent at 15 thousand feet already reached Ye Yuan��s limit.


    But the current Ye Yuan was oblivious.


    The wounds on his body gradually increased, but it was as if he could not feel it.


    The current Ye Yuan was extremely excited.


    Dismantling moves on sight, it was like he was currently fighting with Zhuo Bufan.


    Resolving the other party��s sword intent already became his joy.


    Even he also did not realize that he had already entered a state of sudden enlightenment.


    In this one year plus, although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, his Sword Dao rule did not break through.


    The further behind, the more difficult it was to comprehend the power of rules.


    Often, when it reached the late-stage, the comprehension of rules would severely lag behind cultivation realm.


    At that time, one��s potential would also be depleted.


    Even wanting to break through cultivation realm a little was immensely difficult.


    But currently, his Sword Dao rule already seemed ready to come out at his call, and was about to reach the third level right away!


    Under the outside world��s strong pressure, Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao rule became increasingly mellow.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, his Sword Dao rule seemed to be floodwaters that broke the dam, suddenly gushing out.


    Sword Dao rule, third level!


    However, the Sword Dao rule that Ye Yuan comprehended was different from Zhuo Bufan��s Sword Dao rule.


    Sword was a Great Dao, all-encompassing!


    Zhuo Bufan��s sword was unparalleled and domineering. What it pursued was the extreme of strength.


    His sword was pure to the extreme.


    It was a kind of sword that forsaken everything, pressing forward in every endeavor.


    If gods blocked, kill gods! Buddha blocks, kill Buddha!


    But what Ye Yuan comprehended was the profound meaning of the universe!


    Deriving heaven and earth with the sword.


    One sword, one world!


    Zhuo Bufan��s sword seemed fearsome, but it had drawbacks too.


    Once he encountered a truly powerful individual, his extreme strength would easily suffer a crushing defeat.


    This was the so-called easy to break if overly tough.


    While Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao rule might not be so strong in terms of strength, but it won in being continuous without ceasing.


    It was hard to say which was stronger and which was weaker.


    Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.


    Just like currently, the moment Ye Yuan��s opening burst, it became unstoppable.


    The sword energy at 15 thousand feet was completely unable to stop him anymore!


    Swoosh!


    His figure moved again, speeding toward between the two islands.


    When Black Flood Dragon King saw this scene, he was dumbfounded with shock.


    ��This guy actually comprehended it!��


    ��This boy has such a shocking comprehension ability! What a powerful will!��


    Virtually at the same time, Black Flood Dragon King and Mi Tian exclaimed with admiration.


    Gaining enlightenment on Dao at the moment between life and death, it was easy to talk about, but doing it was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    Since it was between life and death, a single misstep and it would be the outcome of perishing and Dao dissipating.


    Furthermore, those who were able to return from that sort of extreme state were in the minority!


    This kind of breakthrough method was okay once in a while. But, too many attempts and it would definitely be the outcome of death.


    But to Ye Yuan, it was already pretty much run of the mill.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan��s speed soared, entering ten thousand feet very quickly!


    Ten thousand feet, this was already the limit for Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    Even a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven like Black Flood Dragon King could at most just advance another 3000 feet too.


    Ye Yuan��s step was already a result that set the world on fire.


    But Ye Yuan��s footsteps did not stop.


    He was still advancing!


    9000 feet!


    8000 feet!


    �� ��


    5000 feet!


    3000 feet!


    1000 feet!


    Although the speed got slower and slower, Ye Yuan still rushed to the 1000 feet place in the end.


    Black Flood Dragon King opened his mouth wide, having disbelief written all over his face.


    Just what kind of terrifying realm had this guy��s Sword Dao rule reached?!


    Ye Yuan��s skin was long already flayed open and his flesh torn, fresh blood dripping.


    But he did not care at all!


    He continued to move towards the fissure step by step.


    The piercing cold sword energy was almost pulverizing him.


    But he stubbornly held on.


    800 feet!


    700 feet!


    �� ��


    100 feet!


    90 feet!


    �� ��


    10 feet!


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, almost fainting away.


    He was already standing at the entrance of the crack. But, the sword energy inside was too terrifying!


    One step away, but akin to heaven and earth!


    Ye Yuan believed that if he dared to take another step forward, he would surely be sliced into minced meat by the countless sword energy!


    ��Boy, you��re already very strong! There��s a gap of two major cultivation realms between you!�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Mn, I know!�� Ye Yuan nodded and said.


    ��You can��t advance anymore. If you go further, I can��t save you too! The brat who left behind this sword scar is too strong!�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Mn, I know!�� Ye Yuan nodded his head again and said very calmly.


    Only when he saw Ye Yuan had the intention to retreat did Mi Tian set his mind at ease.


    However, the astonishment in his heart was hard to describe with words.


    That Saint Sovereign Heaven who left behind the sword scar absolutely had a stunning aptitude!


    But this young man in front of him was not the slightest bit worse!


    It was just that, these were two geniuses of two eras, but they exchanged blows here in such a manner.


    Even he was unable to judge who was stronger and who was weaker too.


    However, he did not feel that Ye Yuan lost.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan brought him too many pleasant surprises today.


    Right then, Ye Yuan��s figure retreated explosively.


    Very soon, he returned to the Black Flood Dragon King��s side. Swallowing a heavenly pill, he said coolly, ��Do you feel that he can reach the other side of the sea?��


    Black Flood Dragon King was taken back and shook his head and said, ��He��s very strong, but the seven great sea regions are just a small plot of land! There are still countless super powerhouses ahead! There are even existences stronger than Saint Sovereign Heaven! It��s impossible for him to reach the other side of the sea!��


    ��No, he definitely can!�� The moment Black Flood Dragon King��s voice fell, Ye Yuan immediately retorted.


    Black Flood Dragon King snickered and said, ��You��re not a seafolk. You don��t know the terrors ahead! No matter how stronger you humans are, it��s also impossible to cross the ocean and reach the other shore!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and said, ��Others can��t, but he definitely can! Of course, I definitely can as well! Perhaps, we��ll be able to meet in the future! This guy left an awful mess behind for me. When I see him in the future, I��ll definitely seek an explanation from him!��


    Black Flood Dragon King had a dumbfounded face, not knowing where this guy��s confidence came from.


    Saint Sovereign Heavens were indeed the kings of the sea. But the sea was too vast. Existences stronger than Saint Sovereign Heavens still existed!


    This inexplicable confidence was really damnable!


    However, he also discerned that Ye Yuan also wanted to tread on the wave and leave in the future and reach the other shore.


    ��Huhu, go on! You go! Best that you die in the sea!�� Black Flood Dragon King said with a cold smile.


    He would never hide his hatred in front of Ye Yuan.


    He knew that hiding it was useless too.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, ��I��ll definitely go! But I have a premonition that Jingfei that lass will leave in the future too! The seven great sea regions are too small and can��t trap her here!��


    Ye Yuan had long discovered that Jingfei��s talent flung the seven great sea regions�� people off by too much!


    Before encountering him, Mi Tian was already planning on designating Jingfei to take him home.


    It was just that his sudden appearance made Mi Tian change his mind.


    It could be seen from this that Jingfei��s worst result in the future would also be reaching the realm of a true dragon!

 Chapter 2696 - Huge Background!

    Three years later, Little Dragon Girl Jingfei broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven in one stroke, shocking the seven great sea regions.


    And her dragon qi also successfully evolved to ninth segment!


    Coupled with the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, her strength was absolutely by no means inferior to a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, or even stronger.


    On this day, Ye Yuan bid farewell and left.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, thank you!�� Little Dragon Girl said with a complicated expression.


    Ye Yuan garrisoned at Thistle South Sea Region for three years, making the six great royal clans not dare to act rashly without careful consideration.


    To Ye Yuan, it was indeed doing everything that was humanly possible to help already.


    After all, Black Flood Dragon King being crippled, it was him who provoked Ye Yuan first to begin with.


    If it were somebody else, they might have directly slaughtered the entire Thistle South Royal Clan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t behave like a little grown-up; you��re still a kid. Cultivate well. The seven great sea regions are too small; the outside is your stage! If you feel bored, come to Heavenly South City to look for me and play.��


    The gluttonous bug in Little Dragon Girl��s heart seemed to have been lured out all of a sudden and she said in surprise, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, is what you��re saying true?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course it��s true! Your current strength is enough to deter other royal clans. Even if you go out and play once in a while, they won��t dare to make a move without careful consideration as well. Of course, if they really dare to act rashly without careful thought, I��ll follow you back to destroy them!��


    Little Dragon Girl was beside herself with joy and said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan is the best!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Little Dragon Girl��s appearance and nodded with a slight smile.


    This was how Little Dragon Girl originally looked like. These few years had suffocated her badly!


    Looking at her appearance akin to being relieved of a heavy burden, Ye Yuan was rather relieved too.


    �� ��


    Returning to land, before reaching Calm South City, Ye Yuan already sensed that something was not right.


    On the way, he had already been attacked by several waves of true spirits.


    Furthermore, the closer he got to Calm South City, the more true spirits he encountered.


    Of course, these true spirits�� cultivation realms were not high. They did not pose a big threat to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised. Could it be that some unforeseen event happened to this Calm South City?


    In this region, they were mostly invaded by the sea race. There would rarely be true spirits that dared to come out and riot.


    Then where did these true spirits come from?


    With doubts in his mind, Ye Yuan could not help picking up the pace.


    Nearing Calm South City, Ye Yuan could not help drawing a breath of cold air.


    Below the city walls, it was densely packed full of true spirits. The number was simply impossible to calculate.


    These true spirits surrounded Calm South City tightly and launched attacks frenziedly.


    Calm South City��s city protecting grand array was already in a precarious situation under the frenzied attacks.


    Ye Yuan could even see Su Yi pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan on top of city walls.


    ��What in the world happened? Calm South City is close to the sea, why would there be so many true spirits? Logically speaking, there��s only the Myriad Demons Mountain that has so many true spirits! Could it be that these true spirits all ran out of the Myriad Demons Mountain? Furthermore, Calm South City is in such imminent danger. Why didn��t Heavenly South City and the other eight cities rush to the rescue?�� When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being full of doubts.


    ��Quickly look! There��s a human there, kill him!��


    ��He��s mine! You��re not allowed to snatch!��


    ��Kill! Kill! Kill!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not intentionally hide his figure. Very soon, he was discovered by the true spirits at the back.


    When they saw Ye Yuan, it was like seeing delicious food, rushing over one after another.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and sword energy swept, more than ten true spirits were instantly killed.


    Ye Yuan did not use much strength to deal with these small fries.


    Below Limitless Sublime, he could practically instantly killed them.


    For a moment, tragic wails were continuous.


    The commotion at the rear attracted the attention of the true spirit army very quickly.


    They were attacking the city with all their strength, there was no defense at the rear at all.


    Ye Yuan��s sudden appearance completely disrupted the true spirit army��s siege.


    ��Mn? What happened?�� Greenrock was currently commanding the army to attack the city when he suddenly discovered that there was chaos at the rear, and his brows could not help furrowing together.


    He was this true spirit army��s commander. His original body was a green-furred Greenrock Beast. His strength already reached lower Jade Sovereign heaven.


    Seeing as the city protecting grand array was about to be breached, but then someone threw a wrench in the works halfway, it made him very angry.


    Straining his eyes and looking into the distance, he saw that a figure was currently pressing onward crazily.


    His army could not stop that person at all.


    There were even some Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum commanders who were killed by him in one exchange too.


    ��Humph! Ignorant fool, just based on you alone, you want to save a city too? All generals heed my order! Give up the siege, and kill that boy for me!�� Greenrock said with a loud roar.


    ��Roar!��


    All true spirits got the order and immediately turned around and surrounded Ye Yuan.


    The sudden turn of events below the city made the expression of Su Yi who was on top of city walls change.


    ��What happened? Mn? There are reinforcements? Why �� Why is there only one person?�� Su Yi focused his eyes and looked, and immediately discovered clues.


    But very soon, he saw that there was only a single figure among the ten thousand beasts and could not help being disappointed.


    But very soon, his brows furrowed together and he muttered to himself, ��Mn? Why is this figure somewhat familiar?��


    Boom!


    Suddenly, there was a huge earthquake. Hundreds of true spirits were directly crushed into meat paste!


    It turned out that Ye Yuan brought out the Heavenspan Mountain and directly suppressed them all!


    In such a densely packed situation, the Heavenspan Mountain was seriously too useful.


    Boom!


    There was another huge earthquake, several hundred true spirits were directly crushed again.


    The current Ye Yuan directly transformed into a celestial deity, lifting up the giant mountain and directly suppressing the enemies. How could those true spirits dare to approach?


    This giant mountain was too scary.


    It was just that once they retreated, they directly collided with the true spirits that rushed up from behind. The entire army immediately became a mess.


    However, a large empty space was immediately vacated around Ye Yuan.


    Su Yi��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��It��s Third Hall Master! Is �� Is he going to rush in alone? Is he crazy?��


    When Greenrock saw the power of the Heavenspan Mountain, not only was he not surprised, he had a look of wild elation instead.


    Heavenly spirit treasure!


    As long as he killed Ye Yuan, this treasure would be his!


    But currently, inside Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, Mi Tian was incredibly shocked!


    ��Boy, where did you get this thing?�� Mi Tian��s voice practically changed pitches.


    The shock in his heart currently could be seen.


    Ye Yuan had a puzzled look and said, ��This matter can��t be explained in a few words. It was suppressed in the lower realm that I grew up in by some guy, but it was refined by me in the end. This item is merely a heavenly spirit treasure. You shouldn��t be so surprised, right?��


    Heavenly spirit treasures were indeed exceptional treasures when placed in Rainclear Continent.


    But Ye Yuan knew that he was unable to assess Mi Tian��s realm at all. Hence, Mi Tian should not have any interest in this level of treasure.


    But Mi Tian��s reaction made Ye Yuan realize that the origin of the Heavenspan Mountain seemed to be extraordinary!


    ��Merely a heavenly spirit treasure? Huhu! This object shocked the 33 Heavens back then. Its power is unimaginable! This appearance now is merely a bright pearl that��s covered in dust, that��s all! Talk about this matter later. You��d best resolve the issue in front of you first!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan could not help rolling his eyes, his heart itching like it was scratched by a cat.


    Back then, he felt that this Heavenspan Mountain was somewhat extraordinary. Because the Wordless Heavenly Skill��s cultivation method was extremely formidable. He did not expect that it really had a huge background.


    But it was indeed not the time to get to the bottom of things now.. Because Greenrock was already here!

 Chapter 2697 - Knowledge is too Shallow!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Boy, give the small mountain in your hand. I can spare your life!�� Greenrock looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly.


    Ye Yuan ignored him. Ye Yuan asked instead, ��Where did you guys come from? Why did you besiege Calm South City?��


    Greenrock snorted coldly and said, ��Right now, it��s this commander who��s talking to you, it��s not your turn to come and ask me!��


    ��Looks like I still have to make a move before I can get an answer,�� Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said with a sigh.


    Greenrock��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Reckless and blind thing! A mere lower Limitless Sublime Heaven also dares to be presumptuous in front of this commander! Kill for me!��


    His subordinates, more than ten grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum generals, received the order and attacked Ye Yuan one after another.


    Grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was already a feudal king of a region in the land of Heavenly South.


    More than ten true spirits attacking together, the commotion was extremely shocking.


    Ye Yuan��s expression did not change, muttering under his breath. The Heavenspan Mountain suddenly turned into an afterimage, smashing towards one of them.


    Bang!


    It was only to hear a dull and loud bang. That true spirit spurted fresh blood wildly from his mouth, being already seriously injured.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure was like a ghost, and actually disappeared under the siege of the others!


    With Ye Yuan��s current strength, he could already unleash 70%-80% of the Heavenspan Mountain��s power.


    The weight of the power was extraordinary!


    The usage of the Heavenspan Mountain was just one thing; to be unreasonable!


    No matter how your means were exceedingly formidable, I would only smash with a mountain!


    Simple, crude!


    Yet no solution!


    After Ye Yuan was set off, the speed of the Heavenspan Mountain was too fast. It was even faster than these grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum true spirits!


    Unless a Jade Sovereign Heaven took action, it was virtually a fool��s talk for someone in the same rank to want to deal with Ye Yuan.


    ��Go!��


    Before everyone had time to react, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared behind the few people bizarrely and launched the Heavenspan Mountain once again.


    A true spirit was caught off-guard and directly took a fierce blow to the back.


    This true spirit immediately sprawled on the ground, vomiting blood, looking like he was about to kick the bucket.


    When Greenrock saw this scene, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    Bizarre movement technique coupled with the unreasonable Heavenspan Mountain, this simply had no solution!


    ��These grand completion Limitless Sublime Heaven lords joined forces. Not only are they unable to deal with him, but they are also beaten by him until there��s one dead and one injured!��


    ��Where did this human come from? How can he be so strong?��


    �� ��


    The true spirit army was all dumbfounded with amazement, being frightened by Ye Yuan��s shocking strength.


    Those who attacked just now were all grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum true spirits. They actually could not even touch a single strand of hair of the other party!


    On top of city walls, Su Yi was dumbfounded too.


    How similarly was this scene to Ye Yuan single-handedly repelling the Thistle South army back then?


    However, what was different, was that the Ye Yuan at that time was just putting on an empty-fort strategy to scare the other party away.


    But now, Ye Yuan was relying on his own strength to forcefully resist the ten thousand beast army!


    Currently, Ye Yuan��s image was the same as the savior in the eyes of Calm South City��s martial artists!


    Looking at the jubilant cheering happening on top of city walls, Su Yi frowned slightly.


    The real crux was that green-furred commander!


    He was a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. Without beating him, everything was off the table.


    Calm South City did not have Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses at all.


    If the city protecting grand array broke, the people would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.


    Therefore, he could not open the city gates and go out.


    That way, it would be equivalent to delivering the lives of the entire city into the hands of these true spirits.


    ��Still coming?�� Ye Yuan looked at Greenrock with strong provocation.


    Greenrock flew into a great rage. Flicking his sleeves grandly, he said, ��All step down for this commander! This commander is going to eradicate this boy with my own hands!��


    Only to see him extend his hand and beckon. The earth quaked.


    An enormous rock was actually summoned by him.


    Greenrock looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��This commander wants to see whether it is your giant mountain that��s formidable, or my Giant Rock Roar that��s powerful! Go!��


    Greenrock was an earth-attribute true spirit to begin with. He was the most adept in earth rule.


    Swoosh!


    That chunk of giant rock that was akin to a small mountain actually smashed over toward Ye Yuan with incredible speed.


    This scene was unbelievably spectacular.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, muttering spells under his breath again. The Heavenspan Mountain immediately turned into a small mountain.


    Boom!


    Two small mountains collided, emitting an earth-shaking rumble.


    The giant rock that Greenrock summoned immediately shattered into countless pieces, but the Heavenspan Mountain was as steady as Mount Tai.


    The most terrifying thing about this attack was not the giant mountain, but the strength of a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan felt a tremendous force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas transmitted over.


    He tasted sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    When the true spirit army saw this scene, they immediately started howling like mountains crying out and the sea howling.


    ��Commander is mighty! Long live the commander!��


    ��Commander, tear this boy to shreds and avenge the brothers!��


    ��Ignorant human! To actually dare oppose the commander, courting death!��


    �� ��


    When Greenrock saw the situation, he let out a burst of wild laughter and said, ��Hahaha, punk, know my prowess yet? Strength is the kingly way! Without strength, it��s useless no matter how strong your treasure is! This treasure is just a wanton waste of God��s good gifts in your hands, might as well give it to me!��


    Ye Yuan pulled back the Heavenspan Mountain and said disdainfully, ��Is this the strength of a Jade Sovereign Heaven? Nothing more than this! I��m just a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, being an entire cultivation realm lower than you. You merely hurt me a little and became so proud of yourself?��


    Actually, it was not difficult for Ye Yuan to avoid that blow earlier.


    But he did not dodge it.


    He wanted to test how strong the strength of a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven was.


    Back then, Huangfu Cloudthink struck a palm on the Heavenspan Mountain and failed to take his life, let alone Greenrock.


    The result of the test seemed to be �� pretty good.


    This bit of injury was virtually negligible to Ye Yuan.


    Greenrock��s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, ��Boy, I couldn��t tell if you��re shamelessly boasting! Just now was just the appetizer. Now, I��ll let you taste something even more formidable!��


    Finished saying, he sucked with his palm. An even larger boulder was sucked up by him again.


    ��Giant Rock Roar! Go!��


    This time, Greenrock employed 80% of his strength!


    It could be seen that he had become genuinely enraged.


    However, this time, Ye Yuan did not seem to have the intention of using the Heavenspan Mountain.


    When Greenrock saw this scene, he sneered even more coldly and said, ��Reckless and blind thing, go and die for me!��


    However, right at this time, a cold light flashed!


    An incomparably sharp sword light tore across the sky and landed on the huge rock.


    Puchi!


    That enormous boulder actually broke into two and fell with a loud bang!


    Greenrock��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��How is that possible?��


    When he looked again, there was already an additional dragon-shaped long sword in Ye Yuan��s hand, emitting a fleeting and ephemeral undulation.


    This kind of undulation gave Greenrock a feeling of heart palpitations.


    Greenrock��s eyes went wide and he said with a look of horror, ��G-Grandmist treasure! This �� how is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Greenrock and said with a smile, ��Not bad, to actually even be able to recognize grandmist treasure. Didn��t you say that no matter how strong the treasure is, it��s useless too? I can only say that��s because your knowledge is too shallow! Or should I say, the treasures that you��ve encountered were not strong enough, that��s all!��


    Grandmist treasure, Dragon Spring Sword!


    It was naturally impossible for there to just be one grandmist treasure in Mi Tian��s hands.


    This Dragon Spring Sword was given to Ye Yuan by precisely Mi Tian!

 Chapter 2698 - The Power of a Grandmist Treasure!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    A grandmist treasure, that was the treasure that even Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses dreamed of!


    But now, it appeared in the hands of a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, how could he not be shocked?


    But very soon, his gaze changed from shock to greed!


    A man��s wealth was his own ruin by causing others�� greed!


    In Greenrock��s eyes, a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum holding a grandmist treasure, that was delivering a treasure to him,


    ��Hahaha, great! Really excellent! Boy, this commander really wants to thank you, to actually deliver to me such a treasure!�� Greenrock said with a loud laugh.


    This fleeting and ephemeral aura, even the Su Yi on top of city walls felt it too.


    This kind of aura could only be given off by grandmist treasures. Even if he had never seen one before, he guessed it too.


    Seeing his, his expression changed and he said, ��Third Hall Master is too rash! Taking such a treasure out, how can that green-furred commander let him off?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you have the ability, what��s the harm in taking it?��


    Greenrock smiled coldly and said, ��Boy, you��re also underestimating Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses too much! Today, I��ll let you experience what��s called a Jade Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��Roar!��


    Greenrock suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, his entire person turning into a four-legged green-furred beast! It was precisely the Greenrock Beast!


    Boom!


    It was only to see Greenrock roar. The ground directly collapsed.


    Ye Yuan only felt his body suddenly plummet, as if imprisoned by something.


    A terrifying gravity made him virtually unable to breathe.


    ��Hahaha, how is it, boy? This is a thousand-fold gravitational field! Powerhouses who are similarly Jade Sovereign Heaven can forget about escaping from my gravity cage too! Now, I want to see what use your treasure has! Meteor Rain! Arise!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, the dust on the ground kicked up, condensing into rocks in the air.


    These rocks had all been transformed by the rule of earth and were tough to the extreme.


    In the next instant, it was an earth-shattering blow!


    ��Hahaha, that boy thinks that Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses only have this bit of strength? Thousand-fold gravitational field, even if same rank martial artists see Commander, they will avoid like the plague too!��


    ��This boy can��t even move. How will he still use the treasure? What a moron!��


    ��Commander has struck rich this time. That��s a legendary grandmist treasure!��


    �� ��


    When the beasts saw Ye Yuan get caught in the gravity field, they already sentenced him to death.


    After all, no matter how strong the treasure was, if one could not use it, it was useless too.


    Even if you could use it, in this thousand-fold gravitational field, every movement and action was slow to the extreme.


    By the time your move was released, you would long be deader than dead.


    ��Boy, your grandmist treasure, this commander will accept it! Meteor Rain, fall!��


    Greenrock made a hand gesture of pressing down, The huge boulders that covered the sky directly smashed down.


    That commotion felt just like the sky had fallen down.


    Regardless of whether or not it was the true spirit army or Calm South City��s powerhouses, each and every one of their faces changed abruptly when they saw it.


    For Greenrock to be able to become the commander, his strength was indeed extraordinary.


    He was considered an extremely strong existence among Jade Sovereign Heavens too!


    It was likely that he had few rivals in the same rank!


    When Su Yi saw this scene, he could not help sighing lightly.


    However, just as those huge boulders were about to fall to the ground, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Boom!


    Amidst the huge boulders, the phantom of an enormous dragon tore through the air, shattering the falling rocks to smithereens.


    And that giant dragon did not stop in the slightest, directly rushing out of the gravity field and flying straight for Greenrock.


    ��Roar!��


    The sound of a dragon roar cut across the firmament. This giant dragon phantom even carried an astonishing sword intent!


    This was a huge dragon condensed out of sword energy!


    Boom!


    Greenrock was caught off-guard and was hit directly, being blasted flying out.


    His defense was extremely strong. But currently, his body was full of sword scars, akin to being sliced thousands of times.


    The power of this sword was too terrifying. It definitely reached the level of Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    The thousand-fold gravity field collapsed on its own without being attacked.


    Greenrock looked at Ye Yuan with a look of horror, full of disbelief.


    Not only did a Limitless Sublime Heaven break his thousand-fold gravity field, he even breached his defenses. How was this possible?


    Ye Yuan slowly walked out of the fallen rocks and looked at him as he said coolly, ��I said before, your knowledge is too shallow! Grandmist treasures are conceived in chaos, carrying the spirit of heaven and earth with boundless power. It��s not what heavenly spirit treasures can compare to at all! Moreover, this grandmist treasure is almost tailor-made for me.��


    One had to know, Ye Yuan could rely on the Emerald Sea Divine Conch to kill a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse like the Black Flood Dragon King in the sea.


    On land, although unable to borrow the power of the sea, dealing with a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven was still nothing difficult.


    Moreover, this Dragon Spring Sword could combine his sword energy and dragon qi together, being ever-changing and having infinite power!


    This move earlier, Ye Yuan used sword energy and dragon qi at the same time, condensing dragon qi with sword energy, unleashing a formidable sword.


    That illusion was a dragon, but it was also sword energy!


    Defeating Greenrock was naturally within reason too.


    The true spirit army that was still shouting just now, was dead silent at this time.


    Their commander was actually defeated!


    Even the thousand-fold gravity field actually could not trap this Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Was this guy a freak?


    Greenrock had a shocked expression on his face. He was frightened by Ye Yuan��s words.


    Indeed, he knew that grandmist treasure was a treasure superior to heavenly spirit treasures. But, he had never seen before how strong grandmist treasures were.


    A treasure like a grandmist treasure was virtually extinct on the entire Rainclear Continent.


    Even those few Saint Sovereign Heavens in the Myriad Demons Mountain did not have grandmist treasures too!


    The power of that sword just now, he finally witnessed it!


    Of course, Ye Yuan actually released two powers of completely different natures from his body and even fused them into one.


    This kind of thing was simply fantastical!


    ��Who the hell are you?�� Greenrock said with a solemn expression.


    ��Right now, it��s me asking you. You just have to answer! Where did you all come from?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Greenrock��s expression flickered indeterminately, but he still answered, ��This commander came from the Myriad Demons Mountain and is under the command of Myriad Elephant King! Boy, if you know what��s good for you, stop meddling in other people��s business. Otherwise, you won��t be able to bear the consequences of failure!��


    Ye Yuan was shocked inwardly, this bunch of guys actually came from the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    If that was the case, then it would really be troublesome!


    There were seriously too many great demons in the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    It was rumored that there were even a number of Saint Sovereign Heaven level overlords!


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan waved the Dragon Spring Sword, a ray of sword light was released, smashing Greenrock flying again.


    ��I said it before. I ask, and then you answer! So don��t talk nonsense! Keep being long-winded and I can��t be bothered to ask you anymore either. I think that with so many true spirits, there will always be those who are willing to answer!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Greenrock��s expression changed, gritting his teeth and nodding.


    He could tell that Ye Yuan was not joking.


    ��You came from Myriad Demons Mountain. Why would you attack Calm South City? Could it be that the northern cities have all fallen?�� Ye Yuan asked the thing that he was most concerned about.


    The great demons went all the way south and even fought to the sea already. Then the northern cities were probably in danger.


    ��The vast majority of the northern cities have already been occupied by us! Heavenly South City hasn��t fallen yet, but they can��t hold out for long either! This time, our five half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven kings went south together. There definitely won��t be a single blade of grass that grows in the Land of Heavenly South!�� Greenrock said in a solemn voice..

 Chapter 2699 - : Myriad Realms Mountain!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Five half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, this was a rather shocking lineup.


    One had to know, in the entire Land of Heavenly South, there was only Meng Frostwind, this one half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    With five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens joining forces, one had to say that it was a miracle for Heavenly South City to not be breached up till now.


    ��The Land of Heavenly South and Myriad Demons Mountain have always stayed out of each other��s business. Why did you all invade Heavenly South?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��Stayed out of each others�� business? Huhu! Meng Frostwind and the five kings entered a mystic realm together. In the end, he scammed the five kings at the critical juncture and snatched a treasure away. Now, he��s gone missing! Since we can��t find him, then we came to destroy Heavenly South!�� Greenrock said.


    Ye Yuan was also dumbfounded with shock when he heard it. It turned out that this was all a problem caused by Meng Frostwind.


    Speaking with which, Ye Yuan really had not met this city lord before. It turned out that he had been planning to enter the mystic realm all along.


    However, making the entire Heavenly South become the scapegoat for the trouble that he caused, it was really too much.


    At present, no need to look around, and Ye Yuan also knew that the Land of Heavenly South would be plunged into an abyss of suffering.


    However, Ye Yuan guessed that what Meng Frostwind snatched away must be a treasure that was related to stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Otherwise, it was impossible for these five kings to be so enraged.


    A lucky chance to step into Saint Sovereign Heaven was too precious.


    Ye Yuan did not believe that Meng Frostwind did not know the consequences. But he still did it anyway. This kind of character really made people despise.


    But right now, being any more furious was to no avail either. It was best to resolve the problem at hand.


    ��What did Meng Frostwind snatch away?�� Ye Yuan asked/


    Greenrock was disdainful in his heart and wanted to say a few words of ridicule, but when the words reached the tip of his tongue, it was swallowed back.


    ��Grade five heavenly pill, Sacred Destiny Pill!�� Greenrock said.


    Ye Yuan was suddenly enlightened, thinking to himself that it was indeed like so!


    However, he was a little surprised too. He did not expect that there were actually grade five heavenly pills in this mystic realm!


    He had seen before this Sacred Destiny Pill in Zhong Jianchou��s jade slip. It was a kind of grade five heavenly pill that could increase the chances of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. No wonder these half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens were so crazy.


    Half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was half a step away from Saint Sovereign Heaven to begin with.


    With the help of a Sacred Destiny Pill, their possibility of stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven would greatly increase.


    Ye Yuan kept the Dragon Spring Sword and said coolly, ��Come on, lead the way.��


    Greenrock was slightly taken aback and said, ��Go? Go where?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I want to meet the five kings.��


    Greenrock was taken aback again and immediately snickered as he said, ��You really want to repay Meng Frostwind��s debt? Can you repay it? It��s true that you��re indeed formidable, but can you take out a Sacred Destiny Pill? The five kings don��t want anything. They just want the Sacred Destiny Pill!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��That��s not what you have to worry about. Just lead the way.��


    In such a large-scale war, the transmission array must have already been broken by the true spirit army.


    He would definitely encounter large groups of true spirits along the way, so Ye Yuan must have a guide.


    Otherwise, the number of true spirits was too many to kill.


    Greenrock sneered and said, ��Since you want to court death, then this commander will grant your wish!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not even enter Calm South City and just brought Greenrock and left.


    This journey took a month on foot.


    However, Ye Yuan urged his speed to the extreme and set off for Heavenly South City.


    Greenrock followed behind and was struck dumb with amazement in his heart.


    He already urged his speed to the extreme and actually could not quite keep up with Ye Yuan��s speed!


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was not making use of any treasure to make progress. He was completely relying on his own strength to march forward.


    He even felt that if not for Ye Yuan deliberately maintaining the distance, he would have long been shaken off.


    This guy was really a freak!


    However, along the way, Ye Yuan��s heart was similarly rising and falling like waves, extremely shocked.


    He learned about the origin of the Heavenspan Mountain from Mi Tian.


    It turned out that the Heavenspan Mountain in his hands was just a part of an ultimate treasure!


    Furthermore, the Heavenspan Mountain was already severely damaged. That was why it dropped to a heavenly spirit treasure.


    This ultimate treasure was the chaos sacred treasure that shocked the 33 Heavens back then, the Myriad Realms Mountain!


    The meaning was the mountain that suppressed myriad realms!


    Its power could be used to access heaven and penetrate the earth.


    Above heavenly spirit treasure was grandmist treasure.


    And grandmist treasures were divided into a total of five ranks.


    Rank one was the weakest; rank five was the strongest.


    The Dragon Spring Sword was just a rank one grandmist treasure, while the Emerald Sea Divine Conch was a rank two grandmist treasure.


    The disparity between the two was extremely large in the first place.


    The power of a rank five grandmist treasure was simply unimaginable.


    Above grandmist treasure was chaos sacred treasure!


    Myriad Realms Mountain was personally forged by the Lord of Chaos that awed the 33 Heavens.


    He traveled across all the heavens and myriad worlds, searched for countless precious materials, and forged seven huge mountains!


    Each of these seven enormous mountains was rank five grandmist treasures.


    Combining together, it would be a chaos sacred treasure!


    Furthermore, it was an extremely powerful chaos sacred treasure!


    The Lord of Chaos was extremely powerful to begin with. Coupled with this chaos sacred treasure, he roamed the 33 Heavens unhindered with few rivals.


    It was just that later on, no idea why, the Lord of Chaos vanished, and the whereabouts of the Myriad Realms Mountain became a mystery.


    Mi Tian did not expect that one of them would actually land in Ye Yuan��s hands.


    It was after a few twists and turns, the rank of the Heavenspan Mountain dropped again and again, becoming a heavenly spirit treasure that was less than trash.


    How strong the Lord of Chaos was, Ye Yuan was simply unable to imagine.


    To the current him, Saint Sovereign Heaven was already extremely powerful.


    But without a doubt, the background of the Heavenspan Mountain was huge!


    ��If I can gather the seven giant mountains, wouldn��t I be able to possess a chaos sacred treasure?�� Ye Yuan thought about it and was a little excited too.


    ��Huhu, that��s easy for you to imagine! These seven giant mountains have probably long already scattered across the heavens and myriad realms. How much ability do you have to traverse the heavens and myriad realms? Furthermore, disregarding other things, just this mountain in your hands, who knows how much grandmist energy is needed to restore it to a rank five grandmist treasure! Just based on your current bit of strength, don��t even think about it!�� Mi Tian gave him a blow.


    However, Ye Yuan did not show signs of being discouraged and smiled instead as he said, ��Heh, my luck has always been very good!��


    �� ��


    The two people pushed on with their journey round the clock. A normally over one month journey, they only used half a month and arrived.


    Even Greenrock this Jade Sovereign Heaven was dead tired too.


    However, luckily Ye Yuan brought Greenrock along. He encountered far too many obstacles on this journey.


    Looking at Heavenly South City from afar, Ye Yuan was completely dumbfounded.


    Outside of Heavenly South City was densely covered with a true spirit army, the numbers too many to enumerate!


    Compared to Heavenly South City, Calm South City was simply not worth mentioning.


    Terrific! These five guys probably moved the entire Myriad Demons Mountain over, right?


    However, seeing that Heavenly South City was not breached yet, Ye Yuan calmed down slightly.


    ��Stop! Greenrock, aren��t you attacking Calm South City? Why did you come back?�� Passing through the army, the two were stopped by a Jade Sovereign Heaven very soon.


    Greenrock had a black face as he said, ��Zuo Qing, he��s Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Third Hall Master. He has a matter to discuss and wants to meet the five kings!��


    Zuo Qing gave Ye Yuan a glance and could not help laughing as he said, ��A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum wants to meet the five kings? Greenrock, you didn��t eat the wrong medicine, right?��


    ��Five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens joining hands and can��t breach Heavenly South City too?�� Ye Yuan did not get angry but asked curiously instead.


    Logically speaking, five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens plus this scale of an army, Heavenly South City��s city protecting grand array could not block for such a long time either.


    After all, there wasn��t even a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven in Heavenly South City..

 Chapter 2700 - Giving You Guys Good Fortune!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing Ye Yuan asked, Zuo Qing��s face could not help turning black.


    Clearly, he had been brooding over this too.


    ��Humph! Meng Frostwind isn��t around. Capturing Heavenly South City was an easy job originally. But who knew that three half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens suddenly appeared in Heavenly South City! With their backs against the city protecting grand array, they fought several times with the five kings and actually managed to hold on!�� Zuo Qing said gloomily.


    ��Three half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens?��


    Ye Yuan��s eyebrows shot up, and he smiled knowingly and said, ��Looks like these guys didn��t disappoint me!��


    If he didn��t guess wrongly, these three people should be Zhao Xun, Wu Jian, as well as Song Tianyang or Yun Baiyu as one of them.


    It seemed like his guidance played a role at the critical moment.


    The moment Zuo Qing heard, he smiled coldly and said, ��Didn��t disappoint you? Brat, who the hell do you think you are? Saying it like these three half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens were groomed by you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Enough crap. I want to meet the five kings. Lead the way.��


    Zuo Qing��s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, ��A mere Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, what qualification do you have to meet the five kings? Greenrock, what are you doing? Why haven��t you killed him yet?��


    Greenrock had a dark face and said nothing.


    He could not say that he was kidnapped over, right?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I came to give the five kings good fortune! If you delay it, you won��t be able to bear the crime.��


    The moment Zuo Qing heard, he was even more disdainful and said, ��You? Give the five kings good fortune? Hahaha, what a joke! Greenrock not making a move doesn��t mean this commander won��t be making a move, go and die for me!��


    As he said, Zuo Qing urged his palm to kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, his figure suddenly disappearing.


    Boom!


    At the same time, there was an earthquake.


    A giant mountain suddenly descended, directly crushing hundreds of true spirits to death.


    Originally, Ye Yuan��s arrival was not conspicuous at all among this army of countless true spirits.


    But currently, everyone��s eyes focused at one point.


    Zuo Qing��s expression changed. He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s movement technique was so fast the even he could not keep up.


    Furthermore, this guy actually still had such a treasure.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zuo Qing and said coolly, ��Still want to attack?��


    Zuo Qing��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Brat, no matter how fast your movement technique is, can you charge out of the army?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I didn��t come to kill in the first place. Just now, this move was just to warn you. Of course, while you��re at it, tell the five kings that someone is looking for them.��


    ��Who is it, to dare be insolent on this king��s territory!��


    Sure enough, right at this time, an angry roar sounded out.


    A brawny man with a tiger face and a human body arrived with a howl.


    Zuo Qing said in a solemn voice, ��Wild Lion King, this human said that he has an important matter and wants to meet the five kings. This lowly one didn��t let him meet. So he let out his treasure and killed the children!��


    ��A mere lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, what important matter can you have to come and meet this king? Just kill and be done with it!�� Wild Lion King was furious and was about to attack Ye Yuan.


    This Wild Lion King clearly had an incomparably fiery temperament. He brimmed with imposing vigor when walking, his imposing momentum billowing to the sky.


    Even these true spirits were quite afraid of him.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and just smiled and said, ��I��m Heavenly South Pill Hall��s Third Hall Master, Ye Yuan. I came to meet the five kings to give the five kings good fortune. Of course, if you guys don��t want it, you can take action and kill me right now.��


    Wild Lion King was taken aback and said, ��Give us good fortune? Hahaha, what high-sounding sentiments! This king wants to hear what kind of good fortune you want to give us.��


    ��Saint Sovereign Heaven!�� Ye Yuan spat out three words nonchalantly. It was as if these three words were not worth money at all.


    ��Tch, a mere Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, your own cultivation is 108,000 miles away and you keep harping on about Saint Sovereign Heaven. Really shameless boasting!�� At this time, another figure appeared. It was a man with a sharp mouth and a hawkish face.


    Although his aura was different from Wild Lion, it was almost on par. Clearly, it was another king.


    Ye Yuan did not retort and said with a smile, ��The other three kings, why don��t you show yourselves together?��


    The sharp-mouthed man and Wild Lion could not help furrowing their brows, secretly startled in their hearts.


    This brat was merely Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, he could actually detect the three of them?


    If it were before, Ye Yuan naturally would not be able to detect it.


    But ever since cultivating the first level of Divine Emergence, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity skyrocketed, his divine sense also became much keener.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes glanced in three directions of the true spirit army respectively, the sharp-mouthed man and Wild Lion King no longer had doubts.


    At this time, the true spirit army automatically opened up a path. Three powerful figures walked out.


    Five half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens all arrived!


    Wild Lion King, Myriad Elephant King, Heavenly Rat King, Bright Tiger King, as well as Giant Deer King!


    ��Brat, this king admits that you have some capability! But, if you don��t give a reason, this king is still going to kill you!�� Myriad Elephant King looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice.


    The three of them had actually long arrived, but they intentionally restrained their auras. They did not expect that Ye Yuan saw through it at a glance.


    Ye Yuan said indifferently, ��Five kings, you sent a punitive expedition against Heavenly South, it��s nothing more than because Meng Frostwind snatched away your lucky chance. But the few of you are clever people. Even if you all slaughter Heavenly South clean, Meng Frostwind won��t come out either. But, if he breaks through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, have you all thought about the consequences?��


    Ye Yuan��s words caused some chances in the expressions of the five kings.


    The five people destroyed Meng Frostwind��s foundation. Once Meng Frostwind broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, the first thing would definitely be finding them for revenge.


    Although there were Saint Sovereign Heavens in the Myriad Demons Mountain too, they would not act for these five people.


    In reality, it was also not calm and tranquil in the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    If not because of Meng Frostwind, it would be run of the mill for these five to send punitive expeditions against each other too.


    As long as Meng Frostwind did not go too overboard, the Saint Sovereign Heavens in the Myriad Demons Mountain would not make a move.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and struck while the iron was hot and said, ��So, you guys attacking Heavenly South looks to be venting your anger. Actually, apart from infuriating Meng Frostwind even more, it doesn��t serve any use.��


    Heavenly Rat King smiled coldly and said, ��So what? Could it be that you can really let us break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not now, but I can in the future!��


    ��Hah! In the future! After you break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven and refine Sacred Destiny Pills for us? Putting aside whether or not you can break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, even if you really broke through, we��d have long already become dead souls under Meng Frostwind��s palm! Rather than that, better to kill to our heart��s content now!�� Heavenly Rat King said with a sneer.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��No need to wait until Saint Sovereign Heaven, as long as I break through to Jade Sovereign Heaven, I��ll be able to help you all step into Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    A doubtful expression immediately showed in the five people��s eyes.


    Wasn��t these words equivalent to drawing a biscuit to stave off hunger, and looking at the sea to quench one��s thirst?


    Bright Tiger King said with a cold snort, ��Brat, do you take the few of us to be fools? Your delaying tactic is a little too mediocre! Stop talking nonsense with this boy! Kill him and continue attacking the city!��


    The other four people nodded in succession and were already prepared to make a move.


    Ye Yuan still had a calm expression as he pointed at a little tiger behind Bright Tiger King and asked, ��This is your son?��

 Chapter 2701 - Displaying Strength!

    Chapter 2701: Displaying Strength!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    There was a little tiger behind Bright Tiger King, with a tiger head. He looked really adorable.


    Judging from the aura, he was merely an upper Greater Sublime Heaven.


    ��Yes, so what?�� Bright Tiger King said.


    Ye Yuan casually threw a heavenly pill over and said coolly, ��For him to eat, just take it as a greeting gift.��


    Bright Tiger King caught the heavenly pill, his brows furrowing slightly.


    This was just a grade two heavenly pill. However, this heavenly pill was crystal clear, pure to the extreme. He had never seen it before.


    This heavenly pill was precisely a true grade Greater Sublime Creation Pill.


    But Bright Tiger King hesitated. He was afraid that Ye Yuan did something to it.


    Ye Yuan saw through his concerns and could not help smiling as he said, ��If you don��t dare, you can find others to test it. But let me say it first. This true grade Greater Sublime Creation Pill. I only have one in hand. It��s now or never; opportunity seldom knocks twice. At that time, if it benefits your subordinate, don��t blame me for not warning you.��


    Ye Yuan was not lying. The Greater Sublime Creation Pill was a very precious heavenly pill too.


    Back then, he refined all of the heavenly medicines left in Heavenly South Pill Hall. There was only this one last one remaining. He was prepared to use it when he wanted to break through.


    In the end, he did not expect that he directly broke through to Limitless Sublime Heaven outside of the Land of Dragon Slumber.


    The little tiger said in a childish voice, ��Royal Father, isn��t it just a heavenly pill? If I really die from eating it, kill him and take revenge for me!��


    Looking at this little tiger, Ye Yuan could not help recalling when White Light was little.


    For a moment, he actually missed him very much.


    After returning to the Five Great Heavenly Regions, he had to make a trip back to the Heavenspan World first.


    With his current ability, letting Li-er and the others break through to Heavenly Stratum was already not a difficult thing.


    ��Okay! Let you try it then!�� Bright Tiger King seemed to have made up his mind and said.


    The little tiger swallowed the true grade Greater Sublime Creation Pill in one gulp. His gaze suddenly turned intent, and his entire person��s aura suddenly skyrocketed!


    When the five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens saw this scene, each and every one revealed shocked expressions.


    The medicinal effect of this heavenly pill was a little too strong, right?


    Just as when Huang Haoyan two people broke through, the little tiger��s aura soared, directly reaching grand completion Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Following that, it rushed up towards Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    ��This �� Honorable Nephew doesn��t have the slightest intention to stop at all. Could it be that he��s going to directly break through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum?�� Myriad Elephant King said in surprise.


    He had never seen before that a heavenly pill could have such a vigorous effect.


    In reality, on the entire Rainclear Continent, powerhouses who knew that true grade existed were extremely few!


    If not for the Pill Alliance��s appearance, even Ye Yuan would not have been able to touch this threshold.


    Therefore, the five kings�� shock could be imagined.


    When the little tiger��s realm directly broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, the five people were completely dumbfounded with shock.


    ��What a powerful heavenly pill, to actually directly let Honorable Nephew break through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!�� Wild Lion King said with shock all over his face.


    The five people looked at Ye Yuan and were collectively speechless.


    Bright Tiger King was concerned about his son and asked, ��Shuoyan, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?��


    The little tiger��s body already puffed up by one size, looking like a half-grown tiger.


    He shook his head and said, ��There��s no discomfort. I feel unprecedentedly good! I even feel that the medicinal effect hasn��t been used finish yet. It��s just that my foundation isn��t stable now and can��t break through anymore! This big brother, thank you!��


    The five people exchanged glances, shocked to the extreme.


    At this moment, they finally understood that Ye Yuan was not joking.


    This guy��s methods were simply fantastical!


    Ye Yuan looked at Shuoyan and said with a smile, ��Don��t mention it. I already said just now, this is a greeting gift.��


    Bright Tiger took a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, ��Boy, what you��re giving us is this kind of heavenly pill?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Grade four heavenly imperial pill, Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill! Presumably in my hands, as long as it��s successfully refined, the medicinal effect will be a hundred times stronger than the Sacred Destiny Pill! At that time, even if you guys don��t want to break through, it probably won��t do either!��


    ��Hiss �� A hundred times!�� Wild Lion King drew a breath of cold air, feeling his head become somewhat dazed.


    Sacred Destiny Pill, that was a grade five heavenly pill!


    A grade four heavenly pill actually had a hundred times stronger medicinal effect than a grade five heavenly pill. This was simply unimaginable.


    Sacred Destiny Pill was only able to increase the probability of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But even a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven had the possibility of failure too.


    Jade Sovereign Heaven to Saint Sovereign Heaven, this step was far too difficult.


    Otherwise, why were there only so scanty few who could break through to this realm out of the Rainclear Continent��s millions upon millions of life forms?


    But from Ye Yuan��s mouth, Saint Sovereign Heaven became like cabbages?


    ��Humph! Brat, do you really think that us true spirits don��t know alchemy and is easy to hoodwink?��


    At this time, Heavenly Rat King suddenly said, ��The higher the level of heavenly imperial pill, the greater the difficulty of refining! Grade four heavenly imperial pills and grade two heavenly imperial pills, the difficulty can��t be mentioned in the same breath at all! In fact, it��s even harder than grade five heavenly pills! You want to make us withdraw the troops by using an empty promise now?��


    Heavenly Rat King��s words made the four people��s expressions change.


    They secretly thought what a close shave, almost fell for it.


    Indeed, that scene earlier was too shocking.


    Got to admit, what Heavenly Rat King said made a lot of sense.


    The higher the rank of a heavenly pill, the more difficult it was to refine the heavenly imperial pills.


    In the entire Land of Heavenly South, only Zhao Xun and Wu Jian were able to refine heavenly imperial pills.


    Furthermore, what they refined was heavenly imperial pills of the worst quality.


    Wanting to refine grade four heavenly imperial pills to the level of true grade, that difficulty was simply unimaginable!


    The five people all looked at Ye Yuan, their expressions being unfriendly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and suddenly said in a loud voice, ��Two hall masters, I��m Ye Yuan! I��m currently negotiating with the five kings right now. The two of you please come down and chat!��


    This voice spread extremely far. The expressions of Zhao Xun and Wu Jian who were waiting in full battle-array on top of city walls changed drastically when they heard that.


    Zhao Xun suddenly stood up and said to Wu Jian, ��It��s really Ye Yuan! He came back!��


    Wu Jian was wildly ecstatic as he said, ��That giant mountain just now should have been released by him! He said that he��s currently negotiating with the five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens. There wouldn��t be a trick, right?��


    Zhao Xun��s expression changed, but he quickly shook his head and said, ��There won��t! He did not stint to risk his life for a Huang Haoyan back then and faced the entire sea army! If he was captured, even if they killed him, he wouldn��t say such a thing either!��


    Wu Jian fell into thought as well and nodded slightly.


    At this time, Song Tianyang also said, ��I agree with Head Hall Master��s idea! Ye Yuan suddenly speaking up, he might need our help! Moreover, It was all thanks to his credit that the three of us were able to break through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven! If not for him, Heavenly South City would have long perished!��


    Zhao Xun nodded and said, ��Okay! I��ll go down with Song Tianyang. Jian, you guard the city, just in case!��


    Wu Jian nodded and said, ��Yes!��


    Over there, the few people did not know what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd. Heavenly Rat King said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you dare to play tricks, this king will kill you now!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Five kings, relax a little. If I��m really playing any tricks, I also wouldn��t have called them out. Isn��t this sending the sheep into the tiger��s mouth? Don��t you guys agree?��


    The few people exchanged glances, thinking to themselves that it was true.


    Zhao Xun saw Ye Yuan and was immediately overjoyed and said, ��Fine lad, you��re back! This time, if not for your guidance, it would also have been impossible for this hall master to break through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, and Heavenly South City would have long been destroyed!��


    Song Tianyang even gave a bow to Ye Yuan and said, ��Song Tianyang thanks Third Hall Master for your guidance!��


    The expressions of the five kings changed, nearly biting their own tongues.

 Chapter 2702 - Trapped in Myriad Demons Mountain!

    Chapter 2702: Trapped in Myriad Demons Mountain!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum giving guidance to Jade Sovereign Heaven?


    Then three half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens broke through all of a sudden?


    The reason they could not take down Heavenly South City all along, the main culprit was actually this guy in front of them?


    What was this freaking logic!


    This Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum was a little too monstrous, right?


    Ye Yuan originally still wanted to explain things. He did not expect Zhao Xun and Song Tianyang played along very well, directly explaining it to everyone for him.


    He came from outside, it was naturally impossible to have colluded with the people in the city.


    Zhao Xun and Song Tianyang��s behavior was sufficient to show it.


    He could guide peak grade four heavenly alchemists to reach this step, refining grade four heavenly imperial pills would naturally be a cinch.


    ��Looks like there��s no need to explain anything with regards to my ability anymore. If you guys still have any concerns you can say it,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhao Xun two people had confused faces, completely not knowing what was going on.


    But it seemed like the two of their behaviors earlier had a great impact on these five kings.


    Furthermore, it looked like Ye Yuan already dealt with these five!


    But beyond the joy, the two people were incomparably shocked.


    Sure enough, when this boy took action, there was nothing that could not be done!


    Myriad Elephant King said, ��You said it just now too, the first thing that Meng Frostwind will do after leaving seclusion will be finding us to settle scores. He already obtained the Sacred Destiny Pill and might break through at any time. Even if you don��t need to reach Saint Sovereign Heaven, how can Jade Sovereign Heaven be achieved overnight? Don��t forget, you��re just lower Limitless Sublime Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��May I ask Myriad Elephant King, if you obtained the Sacred Destiny Pill, how long would you need to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    Myriad Elephant King thought about it and said, ��That Sacred Destiny Pill was only third grade, if it was this king, it will take as little as 30 years to as long as 100 years, and I��ll definitely be able to break through!��


    Actually, this was already him gilding gold onto his own face. Even if there was the Sacred Destiny Pill, it was also an unknown whether or not they could break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    After all, the medicinal effects of a third grade Sacred Destiny Pill were hard to say.


    Of course, with their half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven realm, the chances of wanting to break through were still very high.


    However, although breaking through a major realm was just a matter of a few hours, the time required to prepare for these few hours was extremely long.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not expose it and asked Zhao Xun, ��Head Hall Master, how long did I use to break through from middle Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum until my current realm��


    Zhao Xun smiled and said, ��Four years!��


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan left for a short three years and actually already broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    This kind of cultivation speed could be rated as terrifying.


    But thinking about it, it was normal too. Ye Yuan could refine true grade heavenly pills himself, cultivation was actually not complicated for him.


    But these words were by no means trivial when they reached the ears of the five kings.


    ��Four years! What a joke! Do you think that breaking through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum is like playing house?�� Wild Lion King said with disbelief written all over his face.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If I didn��t care about cultivation realm not being stable, with my means, I have the confidence to break through to Jade Sovereign Heaven within five years! How long do you think I need to break through to Jade Sovereign Heaven if I used that kind of heavenly pills to cultivate?��


    As he said, Ye Yuan pointed at Shuoyan.


    But the expressions of the five kings changed, already somewhat believing it.


    The medicinal effect of that heavenly pill just now was seriously a little too terrifying.


    In less than a few hours, an upper Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum became a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven!


    One had to know, even if they had the help of the Sacred Destiny Pill, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven would also require as long as several decades!


    The disparity could not be measured with distance!


    ��Moreover, the heavenly medicines that the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill require aren��t easy to find. I reckon that you guys would probably need several decades just to gather the heavenly medicines. This period of time that I��m cultivating, you all will probably be running all over for heavenly medicines. Of course, if you can gather five sets of heavenly medicines, I can guarantee that all five of you will break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!�� Ye Yuan said it casually.


    ��Is this true?!�� When the five people heard that, they said in unison.


    Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill was a grade four heavenly imperial pill recorded in Zhong Jianchou��s jade slips.


    Ye Yuan was still quite confident in its medicinal effect.


    Forget about true grade, even if it was ninth grade, it should also be sufficient to let these few people break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    However, such a powerful heavenly pill, the heavenly medicines required would naturally be extremely precious too.


    The Myriad Demons Mountain had a vast territory and abundant resources. There was hope of gathering a few sets. It was just that whether or not they could gather five sets would depend on their own good fortune.


    ��I��m willing to swear in the name of Heavenly Dao! However, if you guys can��t gather the heavenly medicines, then it can��t be blamed on me,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Alright, this king promises you! But this king has a condition!�� Heavenly Rat King said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Please speak!��


    Heavenly Rat King said, ��Before refining the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill, you must stay on the Myriad Demons Mountain as a hostage and not take a single step out! If you dare leave, the five of us will join forces to eradicate Heavenly South again!��


    Clearly, Heavenly Rat King was very cautious.


    Even if Ye Yuan swore in the name of Heavenly Dao, he could not trust him either.


    And his way of doing things also got the acquiescence of the other four.


    ��No way!�� The moment these words came out, the expressions of Zhao Xun two people changed, immediately rejecting it.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Okay, I promise you!��


    ��Ye Yuan, you ���� Zhao Xun two people looked at Ye Yuan and said with guilt in their hearts.


    This awful mess was caused by Meng Frostwind. But now, Ye Yuan had to shoulder it!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, ��I��m also very curious about the Myriad Demons Mountain. There��s no harm in making a trip there. If you guys have anything that you don��t understand in cultivation, you can come to Myriad Demons Mountain to find me.��


    At this time, Shuoyan suddenly said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, don��t worry. With me around, no one in the Myriad Demons Mountain will dare bully you!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Alright, then I��ll stick with you in the future!��


    �� ��


    Countless true spirits retreated like the tide, leaving behind a mess and corpses all over the field.


    But this was already the best outcome.


    Looking at the true spirit army��s distant back view, Zhao Xun could not help sighing slightly as he said, ��Sigh! Ye Yuan is really a righteous person! If not for him, Heavenly South will probably not have a blade of grass surviving!��


    Wu Jian said bitterly, ��Meng Frostwind this brute, he actually used the entire Heavenly South as a chip to let himself break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven! I really hope that that Sacred Destiny Pill is useless and he can��t break through!��


    Zhao Xun��s eyes turned cold and he said in a cold voice, ��If he fails to break through, it will probably be difficult to find him again in this life! Better that he breaks through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, and then come back! At that time, we��ll be able to take revenge!��


    Song Tianyang let out a sigh and said, ��The strong feasts on the Myriad Demons Mountain and the weak are prey. There are countless powerhouses. I also don��t know whether or not Ye Yuan can return safe and sound this time!��


    The weak were prey and the strong feasted on Myriad Demons Mountain. Even these half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven kings were replaced by new ones very quickly too.


    A careless misstep and they would be replaced by others.


    It was also precisely because of this that there were a lot of powerhouses in the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    These five kings were merely just a drop in the ocean.


    If everything went well, these five kings naturally would not do anything to him.


    But if war broke out, the result would be hard to say.


    Hearing Song Tianyang��s words, everyone��s brows furrowed even tighter.

 Chapter 2703 - Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain!

    Chapter 2703: Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens returned to their territories and immediately dispatched troops to search for the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill��s heavenly medicines.


    Because the heavenly medicines on the list that Ye Yuan gave them were indeed extremely rare.


    Even in this Myriad Demons Mountain, they were rare too.


    Furthermore, the collection of many of the heavenly medicines even needed them to attend to personally.


    Although their territories were large, it was a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Myriad Demons Mountain.


    Some heavenly medicines needed to go to the territories of other kings. They had to take action personally.


    In fact, some half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven great battles would surely ignite in order to snatch heavenly medicines.


    However, Ye Yuan did not pay attention to these.


    His top priority was to cultivate.


    Actually, 30 years�� time in itself was extremely pressuring to Ye Yuan.


    Saying it so calmly previously was merely just a stop-gap measure.


    Because in these 30 years, not only did Ye Yuan have to break through to Jade Sovereign Heaven in cultivation, he even had to reach grade four heavenly alchemist in alchemy!


    30 years�� time was too short.


    Although Ye Yuan��s foundation was solid, he needed to systematically research and cultivate grade three heavenly pills too.


    With his current strength, he still could not refine grade three heavenly pills of true grade.


    So his first request after coming to Myriad Demons Mountain was to have the five kings supply him with grade three heavenly medicines without restrictions.


    Under Shuoyan��s forceful request, Ye Yuan went to Bright Tiger King��s territory.


    Shuoyan led Ye Yuan to walk around and said proudly, ��Among the five kings, my royal father is the strongest. So his territory is also the largest! Big Brother Ye Yuan, what do you think? It��s pretty good, right?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Indeed pretty good! Along the way, the spiritual energy here is the most abundant and the vegetation is also the richest. I��ve already seen many precious heavenly medicines after walking one round.��


    Myriad Demons Mountain was a massive treasure vault, there were countless precious heavenly medicines on it.


    Some heavenly medicines were even long extinct in the Five Great Heavenly Regions already but survived here.


    Ye Yuan saw many precious grade one and two heavenly medicines along the way, there were even some grade three heavenly medicines.


    Shuoyan said smugly, ��That��s of course! But Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re really capable. The effects of the heavenly pill that you refined are too strong! If I didn��t deliberately suppress it, I feel like I can even break through to middle Limitless Sublime immediately!��


    One heavenly pill made Shuoyan regard Ye Yuan as a celestial.


    He was currently long already prostrating on all fours in admiration toward Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan also had a rather good perception of this little brother.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I can tell that your cultivation is very solid! Otherwise, you wouldn��t have been able to break through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.��


    The effect of heavenly pills varied from person to person too.


    If it was someone with a shallow foundation, even if they ate a true grade heavenly pill, the effects would be greatly discounted too.


    Not everyone could break through from upper Greater Sublime Heaven to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum after eating a true grade heavenly pill.


    Ye Yuan also precisely saw through that Shuoyan��s foundation as solid. This was why he would let him take it.


    Otherwise, how could it suppress the five kings?��


    ��Yo, my good brother, you��re back from the expedition with Royal Father? Mn? You broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum?�� Two figures suddenly came out of the dense woods. When one of the young men saw Shuoyan, he could not help getting a shock.


    When Shuoyan saw the arrivals, he was a little embarrassed and said with a nod, ��Yeah, Third Brother Hefeng! When I went on the expedition with Royal Father this time, I met Big Brother Ye Yuan. His means are exceedingly formidable and used one heavenly pill to increase my realm to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!��


    When the person behind Hefeng hear it, his face was greatly surprised too.


    A heavenly pill increased a major cultivation realm, this was too terrifying!


    But when Ye Yuan heard it, he was speechless.


    When Hefeng appeared, he was dripping with sarcasm when he was talking. It did not look like close brothers greeting each other.


    But Shuoyan was clearly simple-minded and did not know to hide things, directly selling him out.


    Hefeng��s gaze when looking towards him already became unkind.


    ��You��re talking about this human?�� Hefeng pointed at Ye Yuan and said.


    Shuoyan nodded and said, ��Yeah! He��s Royal Father��s distinguished guest. He��s great! Get to know each other, Third Brother!��


    But Hefeng��s expression suddenly turned dark, and he said with a cold snort, ��What bullshit distinguished guest! How can a human be on our Bright Tiger territory? Go and die for me!��


    Hefeng gave a roar and directly smashed a fist towards Ye Yuan, the speed swift to the extreme.


    Shuoyan was frozen there, at a loss on what to do.


    He did not know why the Third Brother Hefeng who was normally very good-tempered suddenly became so irritable.


    This punch of Hefeng��s did not hold back at all. It was going to send him to his doom.


    But midway, he suddenly gave a muffled groan and instantly collapsed on the ground.


    The expression of the powerhouse who appeared together with Hefeng changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��Origin divinity attack! Courting death!��


    Only to see his figure move, the aura of Jade Sovereign Heaven suddenly bursting out.


    Only then did Shuoyan react and say in great alarm, ��Muzhen, you really dare to attack Big Brother Ye Yuan? He��s Royal Father��s distinguished guest!��


    As he said, he was actually planning on blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Muzhen smiled coldly and said, ��Human, you shouldn��t have appeared in Bright Tiger Territory! Hefeng wants to kill him, so this commander naturally has to make a move! Move aside!��


    Finished saying, he flicked his sleeves, and Shuoyan was actually sent flying out involuntarily.


    Ye Yuan looked at Muzhen, his gaze turning cold.


    This Myriad Demons Mountain was indeed famed for being where the weak were prey to the strong!


    Killing people did not need a reason at all in this place.


    Whoosh!


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest, directly taking out the Dragon Spring Sword.


    The sound of a dragon roar rose to the sky, flying straight for Muzhen.


    Muzhen was just about to kill Ye Yuan. So how could he be on guard against such an astonishing strike?


    Caught by surprise, only to see his blood spurt wildly, directly being slammed flying. He was already heavily injured.


    He looked at Ye Yuan with an astonished face and said in disbelief, ��G-Grandmist treasure?��


    While at this time, Hefeng also recovered a little from the dizziness. Hearing this name, his entire body could not help trembling.


    Ye Yuan looked at the two and said coolly, ��Shuoyan will be shielded by me in the future. If you guys dare to bully him, be careful that I make you the first target of attack! Scram!��


    The two people��s expressions changed, being aware that they were not Ye Yuan��s match. They helped each other leave.


    Ye Yuan did not deal a killing blow to Hefeng either.


    His bloodline was powerful and was of the same lineage as Bright Tiger King. He was clearly a biological brother of Shuoyan.


    After the two people left, Shuoyan had a look of puzzlement as he said, ��Why did Third Brother Hefeng seem like he became a different person today?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and could not help laughing as he said, ��Have you heard before the saying that two tigers cannot share one mountain?��


    ��Two tigers cannot share one mountain?�� Shuoyan had a blank look.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��In the past, you were just an obedient child with meager strength. Hence, no one will care about you. But now, you broke through to lower Limitless Sublime Heaven in one go. Hence, he felt threatened! Understood?��


    Shuoyan nodded his head like he did not fully understand. Ye Yuan was also speechless when he saw the situation.


    This boy was even more innocent than Jingfei that lass.


    Ye Yuan rubbed his tiger head and said smilingly, ��In short, you guys won��t be able to be brothers properly in the future anymore! Since you��ve already grown up, there will likely only be killing left between you all! Alright, let��s call it a day. I��ll go into closed-seclusion for a few days first.. You come over to my place after a while, and then I��ll help you consolidate your foundation and nurture your essence. I��ll let you break through to middle Limitless Sublime Heaven as soon as possible!��

 Chapter 2704 - Ten Tigers Seizing the Throne!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In a secret mountain cave, nine fierce tigers were gathered together, each and everyone with a ferocious appearance.


    ��Old Three, what��s the meaning of calling us here? Where��s Old Sixteen?�� The one talking was Bright Tiger King��s fifth son, Shaba.


    Bright Tiger King had a total of 16 sons, 6 sons passed away early.


    There were still ten alive presently.


    Old Three, Hefeng, was the oldest. Old Sixteen, Shuoyan, was the youngest.


    Normally, the other nine people were rather amicable toward Shuoyan. But the nine fought among themselves.


    Because only one of them could survive in the end!


    The law of the jungle was extremely cruel. The ten sons of Bright Tiger King were not as carefree as those second generation young masters of the human territories.


    From the moment they reached adulthood, they would have to experience constant killing.


    The moment someone among these ten sons ascends to the throne in the future, the others would all have to die!


    Of course, many of them would never survive until then.


    Survival of the fittest, those who were weak could only be eliminated!


    He Feng had a gloomy expression on his face and he said in a cold voice, ��Calling you all over this time is for Old Sixteen��s matter! You all were in your own territories and probably still don��t know yet, right? Old Sixteen he has already broken through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!��


    ��Old Third, are you joking? I met Old Sixten half a year ago. That tiger boy was merely upper Greater Sublime Heaven! He broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum in a short half a year?�� Shaba said with a scoff.


    ��Sigh, I say, Third Brother, you got us to come over in a haste, saying that something big has happened. After a long time, it was for this? What��s the deal with this! Even if Old Sixteen really broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, there��s also no big deal, right?�� Old Eight said with an unhappy expression.


    Among the ten brothers, Hefeng was not the strongest.


    The strongest was Old Fifth, Shaba!


    The ten of them brothers fought outside all year round, constantly excavating their potential.


    And Shaba caught up from behind, his strength surpassing Hefeng instead.


    Old Eighth��s strength was about the same as Hefeng��s.


    Therefore, he did not hold him in much awe and veneration.


    Hefeng snorted coldly and said, ��What the hell do you all know! I was summoned by Royal Father this time to search for heavenly medicines. That��s how I coincidentally met Old Sixteen! Do you all know how he broke through?��


    Seeing Hefeng��s serious appearance, Shaba��s brows also furrowed together tightly.


    Although Old Third��s talent was a little lousy, for him to be able to live until now, he was not some fool.


    Something that could make him take so seriously, there might really be something major.


    ��Stop leaving us hanging! Say it!�� Shaba said.


    Hefeng recounted the matter of Shuoyan swallowing a true grade heavenly pill, making the eight people present all draw a breath of cold air.


    ��I��ve already inquired. That human is an extremely powerful heavenly alchemist! He came to Myriad Demons Mountain as a hostage. It��s actually in order to refine a grade four heavenly imperial pill for Royal Father they all, so as to let the five of them break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven! Of course, Royal Father breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven is a great thing. But what��s damnable is that that human heavenly alchemist��s relationship with Old Sixten isn��t ordinary! With his heaven-defying means, if he��s determined to help Old Sixteen, what business has it got to do with us still? Do you all feel that this is a small matter?�� Hefeng said with a cold snort.


    ��Old Third, are you joking? According to what I know, it��s impossible for human heavenly alchemist to be so formidable, right?�� Shaba said with a frown.


    Hefeng smiled coldly and said, ��I didn��t believe it at first either. So I specially went to find Uncle. When that human gave Old Sixteen the heavenly pill to eat, he was there! The five kings watched Old Sixteen break through with their own eyes; can this still be fake?��


    The other seven people all drew a cold breath and stopped taunting Hefeng.


    The expressions on their faces were different. But clearly, they started to become apprehensive of Shuoyan.


    Or should they say, started becoming apprehensive of that mysterious human heavenly alchemist behind Shuoyan!


    After a long silence, Shaba suddenly said, ��Old Third, what do you think?��


    Hefeng chuckled and said, ��Calling you all is to discuss countermeasures! Old Fifth, you��re normally the one with the most schemes, you give a plan!��


    Shaba��s face turned black, but he did not refute anything and said coolly, ��Since Old Sixteen is already an adult, then he also has to take part in the hunt this year, right?��


    Hefeng raised his brows and said, ��You��re saying ����


    Shaba said coolly, ��Encountering some accident when hunting is also something that can be forgiven. After all, there will be people breaking through to Jade Sovereign Heaven at any time in this Myriad Demons Mountain. If Old Sixteen dies at the hands of a Jade Sovereign Heaven, I believe Royal Father won��t say anything either.��


    But He Feng shook his head and said, ��One Jade Sovereign Heaven isn��t enough!��


    Shaba frowned and said, ��You can��t bring Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses by your side when hunting! Could it be that a Jade Sovereign Heaven can��t take care of Old Sixteen?��


    Hefeng said, ��I��m worried that that human heavenly alchemist takes action! I exchanged blows with him that day. He has a grandmist treasure in his hands. Moxi was defeated at his hands too!��


    ��What?! Grandmist treasure! Moxi was actually defeated too?!�� Everyone said in shock.


    They did not take a heavenly alchemist seriously yet.


    After all, no matter how incredible you were at refining pills, there would be no threat after you became a dead person too.


    But a heavenly alchemist that rivaled Jade Sovereign Heaven was completely different!


    This was equivalent to saying that Old Sixteen had an extremely powerful backer!


    Hefeng nodded and said, ��This human is unfathomable. If we��re not taking action, then forget it. But since we��re taking action, we absolutely can��t give him any chance!��


    Shaba finally understood why Old Third brought them all here.


    He could not deal with this alone at all!


    ��Now that it came to this, everyone should stop hiding! I know that you all have some trump cards in your hands! Show them all this time! I raised a strong contingent in Heavenjoy Mountain. Their leader is the Eight-spotted Leopard that I subdued more than 100 years ago! He��s already middle Jade Sovereign Heaven strength!�� Shaba said.


    Hefeng nodded his head with a slight smile as he said, ��I subdued a Purplelight Battle Wolf 200 years ago. He is also middle Jade Sovereign Heaven now!��


    The nine of them had been scheming for a very long time. They naturally had some trump cards.


    They had never told anyone about these trump cards. But this time, they took it all out for Ye Yuan.


    The other seven each raised a true spirit army. The weakest leader was also at the realm of lower Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Although they were only Limitless Sublime Heavenly Tiger King, Bright Tiger King��s awe-inspiring reputation was still very resounding in the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    Some Jade Sovereign Heavens secretly cast their lots with these tiger sons, which was naturally no big deal.


    If they gambled correctly, they would render merits with the king in the future!


    The nine people agreed that they would send out these nine armies, agreeing to kill Shuoyan.


    If Ye Yuan did not go, that was naturally for the best.


    As long as Ye Yuan did not help Old Sixteen, he would not have any conflicts of interest with them either.


    But if Ye Yuan made a move, they would also dispose of Ye Yuan together.


    Even if it made Bright Tiger King lose the opportunity to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven because of this, they would not hesitate either!

 Chapter 2705 - Besieged on All Sides!

    Chapter 2705: Besieged on All Sides!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Big Brother Ye Ye Yuan, I came to say goodbye to you!�� Shuoyan had an eager look as he said to Ye Yuan.


    In a short one year, Shuoyan already broke through to middle Limitless Sublime Heaven under Ye Yuan��s help.


    The hunt was near at hand, Shuoyan came to bid farewell to Ye Yuan.


    The so-called hunt was actually opening up land and occupying even more territory.


    And this required fierce killing to achieve.


    Ye Yuan was rather surprised and asked curiously, ��Where are you going?��


    Shuoyan explained, but Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed together and said, ��You mean, there are no Jade Sovereign Heaven guards?��


    Shuoyan smiled and said, ��Royal Father is tempering us. If we bring Jade Sovereign Heavens, what meaning of tempering is there still?��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Have you met your elder brothers during this one year? What reaction did they have toward your vast improvement in strength?��


    Speaking of this, Shuoyan smiled and said, ��Of course I met them! Speaking of which, it was coincidental too, they are all in their own territories. In the past, it��s hard for me to meet two or three elder brothers in a year. This year, I actually met all of them. Furthermore, they are all very happy about my vast improvement in strength and even encouraged me to work hard and not to disgrace Royal Father��s face!��


    Looking at Shuoyan��s appearance, Ye Yuan knew that he did not take his words to heart.


    Although his strength already reached middle Limitless Sublime Heaven, his mind was actually not old.


    Shuoyan��s age was roughly the same as Jingfei. His mind was still immature.


    He even thought that his brothers were all kind and loved each other!


    The more his older brothers appeared to not care, the more it meant that they cared.


    Furthermore, Shuoyan met nine older brothers all of a sudden. This was a very strange thing in itself.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��It just so happens that I��m going out to find a few heavenly medicines, I��ll go together with you then.��


    But when Shuoyan heard that, he hesitated and said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re too powerful! I��m merely dealing with an upper Limitless Sublime Heaven��s territory on this expedition. If you want to go, sure, but you can��t take action!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t you worry. I won��t hinder your trial. I��m just going to look for heavenly medicines, I won��t care about other things.��


    Shuoyan was overjoyed and said, ��Alright then, with Big Brother Ye Yuan accompanying me, Shuoyan won��t be too bored either.��


    �� ��


    Bright Tiger King did not stop Ye Yuan��s request.


    The place that Shuoyan was going to attack was merely an upper Limitless Sublime Heaven��s territory. It was not considered dangerous.


    Ye Yuan was restricted by the vow, it was also impossible to run out of sight, so he felt very relieved.


    Bright Tiger King also knew that Ye Yuan had a good impression of Shuoyan.


    In reality, Shuoyan was also his favorite among his ten sons.


    In terms of talent, in terms of bloodline, the other nine sons were not as good as Shuoyan.


    Let alone that he already left people far behind in the dust under Ye Yuan��s divine aid.


    Letting Ye Yuan and Shuoyan get closer to each other was pretty good too.


    Without words along the way, Shuoyan led a large group of true spirit army and killed their way to Three Saint Ridge in a mighty contingent.


    The so-called Three Saint Ridge was actually three Blackthorn Boars gilding gold onto their faces.


    Myriad Demons Mountain��s fighting did not have much strategy to talk about.


    I came openly to snatch your territory.


    When Boss Hei Fang saw the childish-looking Shuoyan, he could not help laughing as he said, ��You little kitty, hair isn��t even fully grown yet and you actually dare to come to our Three Saint Ridge?��


    The moment these words came out, Three Saint Ridge side burst into laughter.


    Although Shuoyan had grown quite a bit, his childishness had yet to shed. He did indeed look like an adolescent cat.


    When Shuoyan heard that, he said in a great rage, ��Three black pigs dare to be insolent too! Little ones, kill for me!��


    Hei Fang laughed loudly and said, ��Kitty, I know that you��re formidable. But your opponent today isn��t me, Hei Fang!��


    As he said, he whistled.


    Rumble ��


    Groups of true spirits rushed out of the forest. The army that Shuoyan brought fell into heavy encirclement almost instantly!


    All around, they were surrounded until not even water could seep through!


    When Shuoyan saw the situation, his expression could not help changing greatly.


    ��Chunhe Mountain��s Black Scorpion, Purplecloud Mountain��s Purpledawn Beast, and Upper Ridge��s Golden Fur Hound �� why did they all come?�� Shuoyan said in astonishment.


    Each of these true spirits was an overlord of a region. Some had even reached grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum already!


    The army that Shuoyan brought fell into a deathtrap at once!


    ��Huhu, little bastard, there��s also the two of us!�� Two figures flew over the hill.


    When Shuoyan saw them, he revealed an even more horrified expression.


    ��Golden Eagle Dual Fiends! Why �� Why are you guys here too?�� Shuoyan said in terror.


    These Golden Eagle Dual Fiends were twin brothers. Their strengths were both Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Their appearance practically sentenced Shuoyan to death.


    By the side, Ye Yuan said very calmly, ��Still don��t understand? Your whereabouts have already been leaked by someone.��


    Shuoyan looked towards Ye Yuan in surprise and shook his head and said, ��This is impossible! Those who know about the hunt��s whereabouts are all Royal Father��s confidants. It��s absolutely impossible to divulge my whereabouts!��


    Ye Yuan rubbed his head and said with a smile, ��Little guy, this world isn��t as simple as you think. Maybe they won��t betray your royal father, but there isn��t any psychological burden in betraying you.��


    Shuoyan was taken aback and said, ��Why?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Because you blocked other people��s way! Still remember what I said before? Two tigers cannot share one mountain! Let alone that there are ten sons under your royal father?��


    Shuoyan was akin to being struck by lightning, disbelief written all over his face.


    But he was not a fool, everything before his eyes could only mean that Three Saint Ridge was long prepared!


    This place was another half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven��s territory. As long as they prepared in advance, they could naturally transfer powerhouses over.


    Let alone that the one who came this time was Bright Tiger King��s youngest son?


    ��Mn? Why is there a human? What you said is right. Someone did indeed inform us about it! Being able to kill Bright Tiger King��s youngest son this time, the two of us brothers will have rendered great contributions!�� Golden Eagle Dual Fiends said with a loud laugh.


    Shuoyan still did not quite believe it previously. But now, it was not up to him to not believe it anymore.


    At this moment, he finally understood that he was too pure!


    He suddenly turned towards Ye Yuan and said emotionally, ��So, Big Brother Ye Yuan you didn��t come together with me to search for whatever heavenly medicines at all? You��re doing it in order to protect me?��


    At this time, the gratitude in Shuoyan��s heart could not be described using words.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan had long anticipated the danger this time, but he was willing to take the risk and accompany him.


    He really could not repay this kindness.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��If I don��t let you see it with your own eyes, you probably won��t believe it.��


    ��Haha, a mere lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, his cultivation is not even as good as yours, can he protect you? A lowly human, really reckless and blind!�� Golden Eagle Dual Fiends said with a loud laugh.


    Shuoyan prostrated toward Ye Yuan and shed tears as he said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, from now on, I, Shuoyan, only have one big brother, that��s you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Alright, leave those two golden eagles to me. There��s no problem leaving the others to you, right?��


    Shuoyan nodded his head fiercely and said, ��No problem!��

 Chapter 2706 - Instantly Killing Jade Sovereign Heaven!

    Chapter 2706: Instantly Killing Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    When Golden Eagle Dual Fiends�� second brother heard that, he said with a loud laugh, ��Haha, this human wouldn��t be a fool, right? He said that he��s going to deal with the two of us!��


    The older brother said disdainfully, ��Humans have always been ignorant and arrogant, thinking that they are number one under the heaven! Actually, they are all a bunch of idiots!��


    Hei Fang and the rest of the leaders all snickered incessantly.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s words had hit their humor point.


    Amidst the snickering, Ye Yuan moved.


    He did not utilize spatial law. He rushed over unremarkably just like that.


    In the eyes of Golden Eagle Dual Fiends and the rest, he was weak to the extreme.


    The golden eagle second brother said with a laugh, ��You all look, this boy has such swift movement technique. This commander is very scared!��


    Him ridiculing Ye Yuan naturally attracted a series of guffaws.


    Ye Yuan got closer and closer to them. Very soon, he was within a range of a thousand feet.


    In their view, Ye Yuan��s behavior was purely seeking death.


    The older brother had a sullen face and said with a cold snort, ��Stop playing! Just kill him!��


    Amidst the laughter, the second brother��s aura released and his figure leaped, greeting Ye Yuan with golden light radiating all over his body.


    Countless feathers shot out, carrying a bone-piercing cold rule of wind; swift and fierce to the extreme.


    ��Golden Sword Eagle Feather! Go and die for me!��


    A lower Limitless Sublime Heaven would definitely be shot into a sieve under this terrifying attack.


    Everyone thought so.


    Because in their eyes, Ye Yuan was too weak!


    But right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly accelerated to the extreme, making everyone see a blur.


    Buzz!


    Before the golden eagle second brother understood what was going on, he only felt his head go dizzy, a momentary lapse appearing in his consciousness.


    He was alarmed and instinctively felt that something was amiss.


    But, he was unable to control his consciousness.


    Because his origin divinity was attacked by Ye Yuan!


    At the same time, an astonishing dragon roar burst forth.


    Ye Yuan took out the Dragon Spring Sword!


    Currently, Ye Yuan was already less than a thousand feet away from the golden eagle second brother.


    Unleashing the Dragon Spring Sword at this distance, the speed was swift to the extreme!


    ��Old Second!��


    When the golden eagle older brother saw that the second brother was still in a daze, he could not help yelling.


    At the same time, his figure moved explosively, making a move against Ye Yuan.


    This strike was too terrifying!


    That swift and fierce sword intent actually fused the power of a true dragon!


    Caught completely off-guard, even a Jade Sovereign Heaven would have to die with regrets too!


    But it was too late!


    The golden eagle second brother leaping just now, his distance was already less than 200 feet away from Ye Yuan.


    Under this distance, with Ye Yuan suddenly launching a sneak attack, he had no way of guarding against it at all.


    Boom!


    The golden eagle second brother��s body was directly chopped into several pieces!


    When the golden eagle older brother saw this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot from anger!


    The entire Three Saint Ridge was deathly silent.


    No one expected that the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends actually became the Golden Eagle Single Fiend in a blink of an eye!


    In this instance earlier, from Ye Yuan launching an origin divinity attack, to activating spatial rule to avoid the Golden Sword Eagle Feather attack, then to executing the Dragon Spring Sword, everything was virtually accomplished in one breath!


    Quicker than words could tell!


    In just a blink of an eye, a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse was killed!


    Actually, the moment Ye Yuan saw the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends, he had been considering countermeasures.


    With his strength, dealing with a Jade Sovereign Heaven was more than enough.


    But two Jade Sovereign Heavens, furthermore, they were twin brothers, it was beyond his means.


    Ye Yuan knew that once such twin brothers joined forces, their strength far surpassed those of the same rank.


    Therefore, he deliberately took action slowly in the beginning, behaving not the slightest bit surprised at all, looking just like an ordinary lower Limitless Sublime Heaven. It was to show weakness to the enemy!


    When it reached within a thousand feet, that was his world!


    Sure enough, he killed the golden eagle second brother in one exchange.


    Finishing off the golden eagle second brother, dealing with the golden eagle older brother would be much easier.


    But this scene was simply inconceivable to the extreme in the eyes of the true spirits that covered the hills and valleys.


    Although there were countless true spirits in the Myriad Demons Mountain, Jade Sovereign Heaven true spirits were absolutely not some cabbages.


    They were powerhouses that stood at the apex of the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    Even a powerhouse like Bright Tiger King valued Jade Sovereign Heavens greatly too.


    Especially the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends, they were absolutely the strongest existences in this radius of ten thousand miles.


    Even Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses did not dare to provoke them easily too.


    Now, one was actually killed in a single exchange!


    ��Is my eyesight failing? Second Commander actually died just like this?��


    ��What treasure is in his hands, how can it be so strong?��


    ��A lower Limitless Sublime Heaven actually finished off a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven. This �� This is too fake!��


    �� ��


    The shock in everyone��s hearts was virtually beyond containment.


    However, Shuoyan had long expected it!


    He had seen before Ye Yuan took action. The outcome of the golden eagle second brother underestimating the enemy could only be death!


    And he also knew that this was the chance that Ye Yuan created.


    Therefore, he made his move!


    ��Kill!��


    Shuoyan yelled out a little childishly, but carried an indomitable momentum as he rushed towards the Blackthorn Boar!


    One should not look at how Shuoyan was young. His strength was not weak at all!


    The Blackthorn Three Saints�� Old Third was still in a daze. Caught by surprise, he was killed by Shuoyan in one exchange!


    Shuoyan taking the lead also greatly roused the morale of his men.


    They followed behind Shuoyan and directly smashed the Three Saint Ridge army.


    Three Saint Ridge��s true spirit army was still shocked by Ye Yuan��s astonishing strike at this time.


    By the time they came to their senses, they were already being killed until they only had the ability to parry but did not have the strength to fight back!


    Only then did the other factions return to their senses. Secretly scolding crafty, they also rushed over toward Shuoyan��s army.


    The golden eagle older brother turned a blind eye to these.


    There was only Ye Yuan left in his eyes, full of hatred!


    The golden eagle older brother gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Origin divinity attack! Spatial rule! Grandmist treasure! Good! Terrific lad! You concealed really deeply!��


    Succeeding with one strike, Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to attack either, saying with a smile, ��Thanks for the praise. But you don��t need to look at me like this too. Lions will go all out to catch the rabbit. Do you guys think that by being Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, you��re invincible under the heavens?��


    ��Yeah! We underestimated the enemy. But now, we won��t! Boy, you killed my younger brother, this commander will definitely slice you into a thousand pieces today! Apocalyptic Storm!��


    The golden eagle older brother directly showed his true body. The moment he spread his wings out, a storm immediately howled in the space around Ye Yuan.


    In the storm, countless wind blades were extremely swift and fierce, practically slicing space apart.


    It also became hard for Ye Yuan��s spatial rule to be exhibited amidst this!


    Got to say, this golden eagle older brother��s rule comprehension was extremely strong. His strength could not be underestimated.


    But it was precisely because of this that Ye Yuan not letting the two of them join forces was the wisest choice.


    In the storm, Ye Yuan brandished the Dragon Spring Sword seamlessly until not even wind could penetrate.


    The golden eagle older brother��s wind blades actually did not have the slightest chance.


    This scene made everyone extremely shocked again.


    If Ye Yuan one-shotting the golden eagle second brother earlier gave some suspicions of taking advantage by trickery, then now, it was the perfect display of his strength!


    By relying on a Dragon Spring Sword, Ye Yuan��s strength was actually not the slightest bit weaker than the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, the golden eagle older brother!

 Chapter 2707 - Brothers Infighting!

    Chapter 2707: Brothers Infighting!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The golden eagle older brother��s heart shook wildly!


    His Apocalyptic Storm actually could not quite block Ye Yuan��s Dragon Spring Sword!


    Each of Ye Yuan��s sword slash carried an unstoppable power, making his blood vitality churn.


    Only at this time did he realize how terrifying the power of this grandmist treasure was!


    He even felt like who he was facing seemed to be a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    ��This grandmist treasure��s power is too strong. Continue fighting like this, there��s no chance of winning at all! Leave!��


    The golden eagle older brother saw through the actual situation. How could he still dare to stay, turning around and fleeing?


    When this scene landed in the eyes of the numerous Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum leaders, they could not help feeling stunned.


    The golden eagle older brother was driven away?


    A dignified Jade Sovereign Heaven was actually driven away by a Limitless Sublime Heaven!


    For a moment, the morale of the troops was lost.


    Even the Jade Sovereign Heaven was sent packing, what was the use no matter how many people they had?


    After Ye Yuan rushed over later, wouldn��t they still be stretching their necks out for the executer��s blade?


    What the golden eagle older brother comprehended was the rule of wind, his movement technique swift to the extreme.


    In an instant, he escaped ten miles away!


    But all of a sudden, he felt a chill coming from behind, making his hair stand on end.


    In the air, he forcibly turned directions and moved laterally.


    Boom!


    A fissure that was several hundred feet long was directly cleaved apart on the ground.


    When the golden eagle older brother saw this scene, he lost his soul.


    If not for him cultivating the rule of wind and his movement technique being extremely fast, this sword earlier would have definitely taken his life!


    Turning around to look, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him not far away, his face full of mockery.


    ��Brat, we don��t want this Three Saint Ridge anymore! Just take it as if today��s matter didn��t happen!�� Boss Golden Eagle gritted his teeth and said.


    He wished to devour Ye Yuan whole. But circumstances were stronger than people. He was not Ye Yuan��s match and could only yield.


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Going back on your word so fast? Just now, didn��t you say that you were going to slice me into thousands of pieces to avenge your younger brother? Why? Not taking revenge anymore?��


    The golden eagle older brother secretly hated him in his heart, but he said, ��Old Second only had himself to blame for underestimating the enemy. This enmity, I��m not avenging anymore! Little Brother, don��t pester me. Let��s stay out of each other��s business from now on, alright?��


    But how could Ye Yuan be so easy to hoodwink? He smiled coldly and said, ��Staying out of each other��s business, do you really take me to be a greenhorn? You want to leave, sure, cripple your own cultivation.��


    Golden eagle older brother��s gaze turned cold and he said in a chilly voice, ��Brat, don��t push people too far! If a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse really wants to fight it out to the death, it��s not what you can bear!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Is that so? Then I want to see how strong a Jade Sovereign Heaven��s desperate blow is!��


    ��Humph! You forced me!�� The golden eagle older brother naturally would not surrender without resistance. He gave a cold snort, his aura erupting once more.


    But right at this time, a pale yellow figure rushed out of the forest, his speed being swift to the extreme.


    The golden eagle older brother was currently launching a martial technique and was caught off-guard by this figure that suddenly dashed out.


    Puchi!


    The golden eagle older brother��s throat was directly bitten by a gaping maw, fresh blood flowing.


    Being bitten, the golden eagle older brother seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, his breath suddenly dissipating.


    Very soon, he stopped moving and breathed his last.


    Ye Yuan��s expression became serious.


    What bit the golden eagle older brother to death was a pale yellow leopard!


    This leopard emitted an extremely powerful aura, it actually reached middle Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    The leopard flicked its neck and threw the golden eagle older brother��s corpse to one side. Opening its ferocious-looking mouth, it said disdainfully, ��These two fools, they can��t even handle a Limitless Sublime Heaven! Really useless!��


    At this time, fresh blood was still flowing from the leopard��s mouth, looking very ferocious and terrifying.


    There were rustling sounds in the dense forest again. Several figures walked out slowly again.


    Without exception, they were all Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over, nine great Jade Sovereign Heaven experts actually appeared!


    Two of them were even middle Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    The directions that these nine great true spirits appeared were very particular, blocking all of Ye Yuan��s path of retreat.


    The leopard looked at Ye Yuan, gushing with a bloody breath as it said, ��Boy, leave behind the grandmist treasure in your hand, and then end yourself!��


    Ye Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a solemn voice, ��Nine Jade Sovereign Heavens! I didn��t expect that Shuoyan��s nine older brothers actually joined forces to deal with him! Heh heh, really good brothers!��


    Ye Yuan took every conceivable possibility into account but was ultimately not a prophet.


    He could foresee that this trip was dangerous and even guessed that Hefeng would divulge information to the enemy. But he did not expect that Shuoyan��s nine older brothers actually all sent out Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses to kill him!


    A puny little Shuoyan was naturally not worthy of the nine of them going to war.


    The only explanation was that Hefeng was very apprehensive of him. Hence, he united with the other eight people to doom him to death!


    Such great work!


    These nine Jade Sovereign Heavens were definitely not Bright Tiger King��s subordinates, but they were the private armies of the nine of them.


    These few guys really put down the blood capital.


    The leopard said coolly, ��Boy, you��re very smart! However, it��s also useless no matter how clever you are! Third Young Master wants you dead!��


    This leopard was naturally the Eight-spotted Leopard that Hefeng spoke of.


    Ye Yuan was very wary of this Eight-spotted Leopard. Because judging from the scene of him killing the golden eagle older brother earlier, this guy��s movement technique was absolutely not beneath his!


    The Eight-spotted Leopard��s comprehension was the same; rule of wind. But his rule of wind was much stronger than the golden eagle older brother��s.


    It even touched spatial rule!


    Therefore, his speed was so fast that even the golden eagle older brother was killed before he could react.


    Apart from him, that Purplelight Battle Wolf similarly posed a huge threat to Ye Yuan.


    The others, their auras were not the least bit weaker than the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends too.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan actually fell into a desperate situation.


    Got to admit, Shuoyan was very brave and good at fighting.


    Following the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends�� defeat, he actually led his army and killed the few great leaders until they fled in all directions.


    When those few great leaders saw that the golden eagle older brother was killed too, they did not have the courage to fight anymore. Each and every one of them was running away madly.


    When Shuoyan saw that Ye Yuan was surrounded by numerous Jade Sovereign Heavens, his tiger eyes suddenly changed too.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan! I��ll come and save you!�� As he said, Shuoyan led the army and was about to rush over.


    But Ye Yuan shouted coldly, ��Leave me alone, hurry up and run!��


    How could Shuoyan be willing to listen, still insisting on rushing over?


    But right at this time, one wave of army after another charged out of the dense woods again, surrounding Shuoyan��s army tightly again.


    When Shuoyan saw this scene, his eyes could not help revealing a look of despair.


    He could tell that this true spirit army��s combat power was even higher than the previous wave!


    ��Why?! Why is this?! Do my elder brothers want me dead so much?�� Shuoyan roared at the Eight-spotted Leopard.


    Eight-spotted Leopard sneered and said, ��Young Master Saint Sovereign, this place is the Myriad Demons Mountain! Your Royal Father also killed his way out from his brothers, and then he achieved half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven in the end! In this jungle, there are no brothers. There is only slaughter! Whoever is stronger, whoever can become the true king! Your threat is too great.. Hence, your older brothers are all very fearful. So �� they can only kill you before you grow up!��

 Chapter 2708 - Chaos True Spirit Bloodline!

    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a phantom true dragon emerged with a roar.


    Ye Yuan suddenly attacked!


    His target was the weakest one of the nine great true spirits, the Green-eyed Civet Cat.


    He wanted to open up a gap in this group of true spirits!


    When the Green-eyed Civet Cat saw this sword, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively wanted to escape.


    But his reaction was ultimately a beat slower.


    This sword of Ye Yuan��s was extremely crafty. He had no way of avoiding it at all!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan��s figure also turned into a wisp of green smoke, suddenly attacking.


    However, right at this time, a change suddenly occurred.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes blurred, a yellow-spotted shadow suddenly blocking in front, meeting this sword of his head-on.


    ��Roar of Wind!��


    Only to hear a roar, two terrifying attacks collided together in an instant.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was akin to having suffered a heavy blow, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood, his figure shooting backward.


    He looked at the Eight-spotted Leopard ahead, his eyes full of solemnity.


    This Eight-spotted Leopard��s speed was too fast and his strength was too strong!


    Furthermore, this guy��s reaction was extremely fast and did not give him any chance at all.


    The Eight-spotted Leopard looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Boy, I��ve observed you for a long time! You��re very clever. Furthermore, your combat experience is extremely rich. You��re a very troublesome opponent! Therefore, I won��t give you any chance! Just nice, I can restrain you in terms of speed. No matter how strong your grandmist treasure is, it��s also impossible to break through!��


    In reality, they had long already been hiding nearby.


    With regards to Ye Yuan and the Golden Eagle Dual Fiends�� battle, the Eight-spotted Leopard and the rest of the true spirits saw it clearly too.


    The Eight-spotted Leopard was very apprehensive of the observation ability and combat strength that Ye Yuan exhibited.


    Therefore, he did not relax his vigilance towards Ye Yuan at all.


    The moment Ye Yuan moved, he moved!


    Ye Yuan had a solemn look on his face, he knew that he had encountered a tough nut.


    Not only was this Eight-spotted Leopard extremely strong, but his observation was also extremely meticulous. He was definitely a combat expert.


    ��Looks like you��re not planning on surrendering without resistance! Since that��s the case, then we��ll send you on your way together!�� As he spoke, he brandished his sharp claws at the true spirit army. The nine great Jade Sovereign Heavens moved out at the same time!


    Clearly, these eight people listened to his command.


    Ye Yuan, a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, was facing nine great Jade Sovereign Heavens at the same time. This was simply something that made people despair.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan fell into an extremely dangerous situation.


    Other true spirits were still alright; Ye Yuan could rely on his movement technique to evade their attacks.


    But the Eight-spotted Leopard and Purplelight Battle Wolf, these two great middle Jade Sovereign Heavens brought tremendous pressure on Ye Yuan.


    After a few moves, Ye Yuan��s body was already hit by several claw marks, fresh blood dripping.


    ��Brat, for a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven like you to be able to last so many moves under the nine of us teaming up, you can already be sufficiently proud! But today, I��ll be accepting your grandmist treasure! Hahaha ����


    Beyond the laughter, the Eight-spotted Leopard was still extremely shocked in his heart.


    Observing from the sidelines was one thing, it was another thing to experience it for himself.


    In just these few rounds, the calmness and combat strength that Ye Yuan displayed, as well as that easy-going attitude between life and death, moved him immensely.


    This kind of behavior absolutely should not appear on such a young Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    He only had a feeling that this human was remarkable!


    Facing the nine of their attacks, forget about a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, even a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven would probably have to die with regrets within a few moves too!


    But Ye Yuan already held on for more than ten moves!


    Although he was already riddled with wounds, he stubbornly evaded the most dangerous attacks.


    This kind of combat consciousness simply made people��s hair stand on end!


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, ��Be pleased with yourself after you can kill me!��


    Eight-spotted Leopard laughed loudly and said, ��Killing you is just a matter of lifting a hand! I want to see how long you can last!��


    Ye Yuan had already fallen into absolute danger at this time.


    Amidst the nine people, he was like a small rowboat in the vast ocean.


    Just imagine, how astonishing was the imposing momentum of nine great Jade Sovereign Heavens?


    In contrast, Ye Yuan��s Limitless Sublime Heaven aura could simply be ignored.


    ��Hahaha, that brat ultimately still can��t escape death!��


    ��Foolish human, to actually get swept into Bright Tiger King��s sons�� fight for the throne! Serves him right to die too!��


    ��A brat who��s like a mantis blocking the cart. Does he really think that a Jade Sovereign Heaven��s majesty is so easy to provoke?��


    �� ��


    Under such an attack, everyone all looked poorly on Ye Yuan, thinking that he was already dead for sure.


    Over there, Shuoyan had also fallen into heavy encirclement.


    The subordinates around him got fewer and fewer, his injuries also got increasingly worse.


    But he did not care about his own injuries at all.


    In the midst of the fierce fighting, a part of his attention was placed on Ye Yuan there.


    Seeing Ye Yuan fall into a desperate situation, he was burning with anxiety.


    ��Young Master Shuoyan, you can��t even fend for yourself anymore now. Yet, you��re still caring about others? Come, let me send you on your way obediently. It won��t be too painful! That brat over there will be reuniting with you very soon!��


    The one talking was a giant python true spirit. He was the Eight-spotted Leopard��s subordinate, his strength had already reached grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum too.


    He led upper and grand completion level Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum powerhouses and launched a siege against Shuoyan.


    Shuoyan��s combat power was indeed unmatched too; far surpassing those in the same rank.


    His bloodline power was extremely strong. Coupled with Bright Tiger King��s true inheritance martial techniques, his strength was even stronger than the average grand completionLimitless Sublime Heaven!


    But facing the siege of so many powerhouses, he already fell into a desperate situation too.


    The injuries on his body got increasingly worse and his consciousness also became more and more blurry.


    He felt that he was going to die.


    Pffft!


    Right at this time, he saw from his peripherals that the Eight-spotted Leopard pierced a claw into Ye Yuan��s chest, nailing Ye Yuan��s firmly onto a tree.


    Seeing this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot from anger!


    That person only fell into a death situation because of him!


    That person helped him to rise heaven-defyingly!


    How could he watch him die?


    No way!


    Absolutely not!


    In his blurry consciousness, Shuoyan told himself like this.


    The blurry consciousness abruptly startled awake.


    ��Roar!��


    A tiger roar reverberated throughout the mountain range, with a peerlessly domineering aura.


    The giant python true spirit saw that Shuoyan was on the verge of death and was just about to make a move to kill him.


    But this sudden roar shocked until his two ears rumbled, nosebleed pouring.


    That pressure, which originated from the bloodline, made him almost unable to stand!


    And Shuoyan��s aura actually skyrocketed at this moment!


    Everyone had dumbfounded faces, completely not knowing what was going on.


    Just a moment ago, Shuoyan was clearly still on the verge of death.


    How did he directly break through in the next second?


    ��Terrific lad, he actually awakened the chaos true spirit bloodline!�� In Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, came Mi Tian��s exclamation.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help rolling his eyes.


    He was already about to die, this old man was actually still lamenting about other people awakening whatever bloodline.


    Could he not figure out what the priority is?


    He had been calling Mi Tian all along in the sea of consciousness just now. But, no idea what was going on, this guy completely ignored him.


    Helpless, he could only fight to the death.


    Now, he was almost dying, he appeared like nobody��s business.


    ��You still have the mind to care about others? I��m going to die!�� Ye Yuan said in a great rage..

 Chapter 2709 - Blown Up With One Punch!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Humph! You still have the cheek to say those words! Who asked you to be so meddlesome, causing such a big problem? Do you really think that by relying on a Dragon Spring Sword, you can be invincible under the heavens? Jade Sovereign Heavens are Jade Sovereign Heavens after all!��


    But the moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, Mi Tian was upset and blamed Ye Yuan for being nosy.


    What did Shuoyan��s life and death have to do with him?


    Putting yourself in danger for someone that had nothing to do with you, it was a very foolish thing in Mi Tian��s eyes.


    But Ye Yuan said, ��You and I also had nothing to do with each other. Why did you dare entrust yourself to me? Aren��t you afraid that I will take your dragon heart in the future? Don��t say that my cultivation realm is low. I think that with my capability, my attainments in the future shouldn��t be low! Aren��t you afraid that I repay kindness with ingratitude?��


    Being countered by Ye Yuan like this, Mi Tian was rendered speechless.


    He had spent some time with Ye Yuan and knew that he was someone who valued sentiments.


    If Ye Yuan was a despicable backstabber, he would have long taken Ye Yuan��s life.


    Otherwise, after Ye Yuan��s strength becomes powerful in the future, he would not be able to control him at all.


    With Ye Yuan��s ability, even without his help, his strength in the future absolutely could not be underestimated too.


    Mi Tian had long seen through this.


    Mi Tian let out a sigh and said, ��You played the hero, but I��ll have to suffer! Relax your mind and let me control your body! I only have the power of one blow. After killing that Eight-spotted Leopard, you must escape immediately, understood?��


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard that. His greatest threat was the Eight-spotted Leopard.


    If he could kill him, he naturally had the confidence to run away!


    Ye Yuan complied and relaxed his mind, only to feel a powerful to the extreme true dragon force flow out of the dragon heart, flowing into his four limbs and bones.


    Instantly, Ye Yuan felt his entire body teem with power.


    But at the same time, he also lost control of his body.


    ��Brat, how��s the taste of being nailed? Heh heh, don��t blame me, want to blame, blame yourself for being meddlesome!�� The Eight-spotted Leopard was unawares and was very pleased with himself.


    But right at this time, a terrifying power surged from Ye Yuan��s body.


    This power was strong until the point where it made his heart palpitate. It was even more terrifying than the pressure coming over from Shuoyan there.


    This kind of bloodline power made him have an impulse to prostrate in worship.


    The Eight-spotted Leopard��s expression changed wildly, and his figure retreated explosively.


    His speed was quick to the extreme. With a flash, he was a thousand feet away.


    But Mi Tian naturally would not give him the chance to escape.


    ��Boy, remember the feeling of this move! It��s called Nine Heavens Dragon Transforming Fist. When cultivated to the extreme, one can shatter the void with their fists and smash galaxies!�� Mi Tian started talking and spoke with Ye Yuan��s mouth.


    Although Ye Yuan rescinded control of his body, he was this body��s master.


    The feeling of dragon qi flowing in his body, he was deeply affected by it.


    Along with the flow of the dragon qi, a mysterious power condensed on his fist as if it was born from nothing.


    This surging feeling seemed to be able to punch a hole in the sky!


    The Eight-spotted Leopard��s face turned from surprise to shock.


    The power surging from this fist was sufficient to kill half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    That kind of destructive people simply made people despair.


    He could not imagine how a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum could launch such a terrifying attack.


    But now, he only had one thought. It was to run!


    He urged the rule of wind and spatial rule to the extreme, only hating that his father and mother did not give birth to two more legs!


    In a blink, he arrived ten miles away.


    While the Purplelight Battle Wolf and the rest of the Jade Sovereign Heavens, when they saw this kind of power, how could they still dare to remain? They avoided the Eight-spotted Leopard one after another!


    Boom!


    A fist force rode on the air and went.


    It was only to hear a bang. The Eight-spotted Leopard was directly blown into a mist of blood.


    One punch directly blew a middle Jade Sovereign Heaven up!


    He did not even have time to run away!


    One had to know, the Eight-spotted Leopard was adept at speed!


    All over the hills and valleys, it was deathly silent.


    This sudden scene shocked everyone.


    ��This �� What kind of terrifying power is this? Even if a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven is here, they will also be blown up by one punch, right?��


    ��Using this punch to kill Commander Eight-spotted Leopard is simply a cannon blasting at mosquitoes!��


    ��He��s clearly just a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, but how is he able to unleash such a terrifying punch?��


    ��Damn it! Just what kind of monster did Young Master make us kill!��


    �� ��


    These true spirits originally thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure. How could they know that when Ye Yuan was on the verge of death, he suddenly retaliated, blowing up their strongest with one punch!


    Furthermore, this punch was powerful to the extreme!


    They believed that even if a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was here, they would be blown up with one punch too!


    This kind of terrifying power actually originated from the hands of a lower Limitless Sublime Heaven, how could they not be surprised?


    Over there, Shuoyan suddenly erupted, his strength soaring, and he also rushed over toward Ye Yuan this side frantically.


    It was just that his opponent was too strong, so he was held back.


    But, when he saw that Ye Yuan actually retaliated in a desperate situation and unleashed such an astonishing strike, he was immediately greatly stimulated.


    Swoosh!


    Throwing a punch out, dragon qi receded like the tide. Ye Yuan instantly gained control over his body.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he arrived beside Shuoyan with a flash, grabbed him, and headed to the depths of the giant mountain.


    From the Eight-spotted Leopard��s figure retreating explosively, to being blown up, then to Ye Yuan breaking out of the heavy encirclement, to bringing Shuoyan and sprinting away madly, it was merely a few breaths of time.


    Everyone was still immersed in shock and did not recover to their senses.


    After they came back to their senses, Ye Yuan already broke out of the heavy encirclement.


    The Purplelight Battle Wolf suddenly startled awake and said with a wild roar, ��Chase! Chase for me! The two of them absolutely mustn��t leave alive! Otherwise, all of us have to die!��


    This sentence startled everyone awake all at once. The eight Jade Sovereign Heavens�� figures suddenly erupted, chasing after Ye Yuan two people.


    As soon as the Eight-spotted Leopard died, the Purplelight Battle Wolf automatically became the leader.


    He took the lead, urging his speed to the extreme, wanting to catch Ye Yuan two people.


    Ye Yuan was already an arrow at the end of its flight now. As long as he could catch up, he would definitely be able to kill Ye Yuan!


    The Purplelight Battle Wolf was a veteran of a hundred battles too. Although Ye Yuan��s punch earlier was shocking, after that terrifying power appeared, it disappeared without a trace very quickly.


    How could he still not understand? Ye Yuan only had the power of one strike!


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would have long blown them up with one punch each, why would he still escape?


    In the forest, ten figures were shuttling indeterminately.


    Ye Yuan was seriously injured and was hanging in there entirely by relying on a breath.


    Furthermore, bringing Shuoyan, his speed was slowed down to begin with.


    Otherwise, even if it was the Purplelight Battle Wolf, it could forget about catching up to them either.


    But now, seeing as the distance was getting closer and closer, Shuoyan was greatly anxious in his heart.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, this was all my fault! It��s all my fault for dragging you down! Their target is me, if you throw me down, you��ll have a chance to escape!�� Shuoyan said.


    Although his strength improved greatly, it only reached the realm of upper Limitless Sublime Heaven too.


    In terms of strength, he was still a long way off compared to Jade Sovereign Heaven. It was completely impossible to escape.


    ��Shut up!�� Ye Yuan shouted coldly.


    Suddenly, the Purplelight Battle Wolf��s expression changed, suddenly stopping the pursuit.


    Ye Yuan two people were baffled, but having such a great opportunity, they naturally would not let it go, sprinting away even harder..

 Chapter 2710 - : Cultivating Martial Technique!

    Chapter 2710: Cultivating Martial Technique!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��It��s great, Big Brother Ye Yuan! They didn��t chase after us!��


    When Shuoyan saw that the Purplelight Battle Wolf they all did not chase after, he could not help being overjoyed.


    But Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Silly boy, we must have stepped into a forbidden land in an accident arising from many causes. That��s why they didn��t dare to chase after! You take a closer look, what is this place?��


    Shuoyan was startled when he heard that and hurriedly sized the surroundings up.


    The moment he looked, he could not help getting a shock.


    ��I completely can��t recognize the terrain here! Could it be that �� we barged into the territory of the Saint Exalt?��


    Saint Exalt was the honorific title for Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    ��Saint Exalt? Even if it��s the territory of a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, they wouldn��t need to be fearful to such an extent either, right?�� Ye Yuan said in puzzlement.


    ��Big Brother, you aren��t aware, the territory of the Saint Exalt can��t be trespassed without permission! Once discovered, not only do they have to be sentenced to death, the faction that they came from would also be destroyed!�� Shuoyan��s expression changed as he said.


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he also frowned and said, ��So overbearing? It��s merely Saint Sovereign Heaven, that��s all. Is there a need to be so domineering?��


    ��No way, Big Brother, we can��t go any deeper in! Once discovered, not only do we have to die, Royal Father will suffer a cataclysmic disaster too!��


    As he said, Shuoyan pulled Ye Yuan and ran out.


    But Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��It��s too late. We��ve already been discovered!��


    Shuoyan��s expression changed, only to see a figure slowly walk out of the forest.


    This was an old yellow bull, his breathing being as steady as a mountain. He was actually a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven expert!


    The old yellow bull looked at the two people silently and opened his mouth and said lightly, ��Trespassing the Saint Exalt��s territory, the two of you can kill yourselves to atone for your crime.��


    That tone did not leave any room for negotiation at all.


    ��Let��s go!��


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly and forcefully mustered up a burst of divine essence, bringing Shuoyan and whirled away.


    Sitting passively to await destruction was not Ye Yuan��s character.


    The old yellow bull gave a cold snort and said, ��Refusing a toast only to drink to a forfeit!��


    Finished talking, he stepped out, his figure disappearing in an instant.


    Ye Yuan only felt a burst of heart palpitations, the terrifying pressure crushing him until he could not breathe.


    This old yellow bull��s strength was too terrifying!


    Just as the two thought that they were certain to die, this terrifying pressure suddenly disappeared.


    It came fast and also left quickly!


    But the old yellow bull already blocked their way.


    The old yellow bull said coolly, ��The two of you, follow me.��


    Ye Yuan two people exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    However, they finally squeaked by with their lives.


    Letting out a sigh of relief, Ye Yuan was almost fainting. He did not even have the strength to walk anymore and could only be carried by Shuoyan.


    Ye Yuan took a heavenly pill out to eat and his injuries were recovering rapidly.


    When the old yellow bull saw Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill, a hint of surprise flashed across in his eyes.


    The old yellow bull said, ��This heavenly pill �� seems to be a little different.��


    Ye Yuan closed his eyes to refine the heavenly pill and could not be bothered to pay attention to him at all.


    He almost died in this old guy��s hands just now, Ye Yuan was not in such a good mood.


    Getting rebuffed, the old yellow bull seemed to be somewhat embarrassed too.


    However, when he saw the speed of Ye Yuan��s injuries recovering, he was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    This heavenly pill was too impressive!


    Not long ago, Ye Yuan was still on the verge of death, looking like he might die at any time.


    Just how long did it take, he was actually alive and well already!


    If one had such a heavenly pill in their hands, then their ability to continue fighting could simply be rated as terrifying!


    While riding a tiger��s back, Ye Yuan��s aura grew stronger and stronger as his injuries healed.


    Before this, Ye Yuan was already at grand completion lower Limitless Sublime Heaven.


    The energy of the dragon heart pouring into his body this time was a great supplement to Ye Yuan.


    Therefore, a break through also came naturally.


    The old yellow bull looked at Ye Yuan and could not help being somewhat speechless.


    �� ��


    The old yellow bull led the two people and arrived at a deep and quiet cave entrance.


    The old yellow bull warned Ye Yuan, ��This place is the resting place of Lord Saint Exalt. You wait here, don��t run around randomly. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about him and walked straight to a large rock and closed his eyes to rest.


    The old yellow bull could not help snorting coldly when he saw the situation and said, ��Ignorant human!��


    After the two people entered, Ye Yuan called out to Mi Tian in his heart, but the other party never replied the entire time.


    He felt that the aura of the dragon heart seemed to have wilted, and could not help giving rise to a foreboding premonition.


    Looks like taking action this time cost Mi Tian a huge expenditure.


    Ye Yuan felt a lot of guilt toward Mi Tian too.


    He originally wanted to inquire what the chaos true spirit bloodline was. It seemed like there was no hope now.


    Ye Yuan was not worried about Shuoyan. He guessed that this Saint Sovereign Heaven suddenly stopping the old yellow bull, it was likely because he discovered that Ye Yuan��s bloodline was extraordinary.


    With nothing to do, Ye Yuan suddenly remembered the martial technique that Mi Tian used when he killed the Eight-spotted Leopard and could not help feeling energetic.


    This Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist, the power was fearsome to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan believed that if he learned it, even if he did not utilize the Heavenspan Mountain, it would also be sufficient to rarely find a match within Limitless Sublime Heaven!


    To execute this move, Mi Tian borrowed Ye Yuan��s body to unleash it. Ye Yuan had clearly felt the revolution of dragon qi before.


    However, the operation of this martial technique was very mysterious and complicated, the difficulty immensely high.


    Ye Yuan started running the dragon qi according to the feeling in his body.


    Slamming a punch out!


    Bang!


    There was no power at all.


    In fact, even a tree in front only just swayed slightly too.


    Felt it before did not mean that he could execute it.


    This kind of mysterious martial technique could be understood, but it could not be expressed with words.


    A terrifying martial technique that could jump a major realm to kill the enemy was even more formidable than Great Dao Transformation, how could it be easily mastered?


    ��When Senior Mi Tian utilized the martial technique, he was able to bring down the power of Great Dao. Actually, it achieved the same wondrous effect with different means as Great Dao Transformation. But when I revolved true dragon power, why am I unable to feel the power of Great Dao in the slightest?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    Although the cultivation method of humans and true spirits was different, they arrived at the same destination via different means.


    Humans relied on their comprehensions to understand the power of rules.


    While true spirits sensed Great Dao rule through their own bloodline.


    The dragon race was born in chaos, their bloodline power extremely powerful. Feeling the power of Great Dao was naturally also extraordinary.


    But it was also precisely because of this that this response was even harder.


    Ye Yuan practiced over and over again, the utilization method of the martial technique became more and more familiarized. But he was unable to find the crux from start to end.


    However, he was not discouraged. This degree of setback was nothing to him at all.


    And right at this time, the old yellow bull slowly walked into the cave by himself.


    He looked at Ye Yuan and revealed a disdainful look as he said, ��It turns out that you��re even a dragonblood martial artist. It��s just a pity that you try to emulate something beyond one��s ability, and then you fell flat on your face! The martial technique is a good martial technique. It��s just that sadly, you��re unable to unleash the true power. True dragons are born from chaos and are the darling of Heavenly Dao. How can they be what you, a human, can imitate?��


    Ye Yuan ignored the old yellow bull, but a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed past in his mind!


    The old yellow bull gave a cold snort and said, ��Conceited and ignorant human, you probably can��t even know your end yet, right? Lord Saint Exalt said that humans shouldn��t appear on the Myriad Demons Mountain, specially making me send you on your way!��


    The old yellow bull was extremely strong. If he made a move against Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan did not have the possibility of survival at all.


    Ye Yuan still did not pay attention to him.. Furthermore, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

 Chapter 2711 - : Unable to Teach!

    Chapter 2711: Unable to Teach!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In the depths of the deep cave, a figure was faintly discernible in the darkness.


    Shuoyan faced this shadow and did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    After a long time, that shadow opened its mouth and said, ��You��re Bright Tiger��s son?��


    ��Replying Lord Saint Exalt, my father is precisely the Bright Tiger King,�� Shuoyan hurriedly said.


    ��Mn, Bright Tiger gave birth to a fine son. What��s your name?��


    ��I��m called Shuoyan.��


    ��Shuoyan, are you willing to become this exalt��s disciple?��


    Shuoyan was immediately stupefied there and was actually at a loss on what to do for a moment.


    He completely did not think that Lord Saint Exalt actually wanted to take him in as a disciple!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, that was a god-like existence!


    On the entire Rainclear Continent, there were countless powerhouses. But those able to step into Saint Sovereign Heaven could be counted with fingers.


    Even Father, Bright Tiger King, already reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven; just half a step and he would be able to succeed in breaking through.


    But he was ultimately still half a step away!


    Half-step was a heavenly chasm!


    This half-step was far too difficult!


    Now, a god-like existence actually wanted to take him in as a disciple?


    This was really a great thing that fell onto his lap!


    Shuoyan revealed a look of wild elation and directly knelt down and said agitatedly, ��Disciple pays respect to Master!��


    The shadow nodded and said, ��Mn, your bloodline power is very strong. With this exalt��s guidance, you have extremely high hopes of stepping into the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future! There are three great Saint Sovereign Heavens in this Myriad Demons Mountain. This exalt is called Saint Exalt Bull Demon! From now on, you��re this exalt��s disciple!��


    ��It turns out that Master is Saint Exalt Bull Demon! I heard Royal Father mentioned before that Saint Exalt Bull Demon swept across the Myriad Demons Mountain back then, overpowering myriad beasts and corroborated your Dao to become Saint Sovereign Heaven! Master attained Dao the latest, but Master is the strongest among the three great Saint Sovereign Heavens! Didn��t expect that this disciple actually has the fortune to acknowledge you as master!��


    Hearing Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s name, Shuoyan could not help being overjoyed.


    He did not expect that he would actually become the disciple of such a legend one day.


    But Shuoyan knew that being able to become Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s disciple, a very large part of the credit belonged to Ye Yuan.


    When he was on the brink of life and death previously, the reason why he could awaken his bloodline at the final juncture was due to Ye Yuan��s true grade heavenly pill playing a pivotal role!


    True grade heavenly pills integrated the power of Great Dao. A portion of this Great Dao power still lurked in his body.


    If not for this portion of power, it was impossible to awaken his bloodline by relying on his own talent.


    Let alone being picked out by Saint Exalt Bull Demon and becoming his disciple.


    ��Those are all old events already. It��s not worth mentioning,�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said indifferently, without joy nor sorrow.


    ��Oh right, Master, my Big Brother has bloodline talent too, can you give him some pointers too?�� Shuoyan did not forget Ye Yuan and asked.


    Who knew that Saint Exalt Bull Demon said coolly, ��A trash bloodline martial artist can also be called to have bloodline talent? Humans shouldn��t appear in the Myriad Demons Mountain to begin with. I��ve already made Big Yellow go and dispose of him!��


    Shuoyan��s expression changed wildly and he said, ��What?! Master, you!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was indifferent and said lightly, ��Remember, your bloodline is extremely noble and carries the power of chaos! He, a mere human, doesn��t have the qualifications to be associated with you!��


    His voice had yet to fade when a terrifying dragon might came from outside the cave!


    The sound of a dragon roar rose to the sky!


    In the darkness, Saint Exalt Big Yellow��s expression changed wildly and he immediately transmitted his voice, ��Big Yellow, stop!��


    Outside the cave, Big Yellow��s expression was very ugly too.


    Ye Yuan��s punch earlier actually forced him back three steps!


    A middle Limitless Sublime Heaven, forced a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse back three steps, this was simply unimaginable!


    One had to know, a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse could kill a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum with a wave of their hand.


    Even if it was grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum, it was also impossible to make him take half a step back!


    But this young man in front of him did it.


    Although this was him somewhat underestimating the enemy, forced back means forced back.


    The power of that punch earlier could be rated as terrifying!


    He believed that even a grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum would absolutely be blown up with one punch too!


    Tyrannical!


    Unparalleled!


    Overbearing!


    He was still mocking Ye Yuan for being a mixed-blood trash before. But a trash was actually able to unleash such a terrifying blow!


    Got to admit, it was very face-slapping!


    Turning angry from embarrassment, he was just about to make a move to kill Ye Yuan when he heard Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s voice transmission.


    His expression was ugly as he said, ��Lord Saint Exalt is asking you to go in!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and walked into the cave.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, it��s really great that you��re alright! Just now, it scared me to death!�� Seeing Ye Yuan, Shuoyan said excitedly.


    He was indeed frightened badly just now, he even thought that Ye Yuan was already killed.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s one martial technique actually made Saint Exalt Bull Demon change his mind.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your big brother��s life is tenacious. I won��t die so easily.��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon opened his mouth and said, ��Didn��t expect that this exalt will make an error of judgment too! Young man, you��re clearly of a human body. How can you have such a powerful true dragon bloodline?��


    Ye Yuan��s bloodline was somewhat different from a true spirit��s bloodline.


    His bloodline was recessive and did not take the initiative to release. The bloodline power would be hidden in the blood and one would not be able to tell at all.


    But once it erupted, his dragon might would absolutely shock people.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s strength was transcendent, but he could only tell that Ye Yuan was a dragonblood martial artist.


    Who knew that he had his face slapped with a backhand.


    Just based on that move earlier, Ye Yuan��s bloodline power was absolutely not beneath Shuoyan��s!


    He really made an error of judgment just now.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon also did not expect that he would actually encounter two heaven-defying bloodline powerhouses all at once!


    Ye Yuan looked Saint Exalt Bull Demon and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Not killing me anymore?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s face was somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, they could not tell in the darkness of the cave.


    ��Since you��re a member of the dragon race, you��re naturally of my true spirit lineage too! Young man, are you willing to become this exalt��s disciple? With this exalt��s guidance, your chances of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven are very high!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said.


    To ordinary martial artists, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was definitely a huge temptation.


    The Rainclear Continent had countless powerhouses, but how many people could break through?


    Becoming a Saint Sovereign Heaven��s disciple, apart from being able to obtain even more resources, the greatest benefit was that they had the experience of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven and knew what the deal was with breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Such an experience was the most valuable!


    But Ye Yuan did not need it at all.


    He replied with a question, ��Lord Saint Exalt, I wonder if you can execute my punch earlier?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon could not help choking when he heard that. Although the power of that punch earlier was nothing to him, it could actually call down the power of Great Dao!


    This kind of terrifying and mysterious martial technique, he was unable to teach Ye Yuan at all.


    He also understood what Ye Yuan meant: you could not even execute this punch, what right do you have to take me in as a disciple?


    Logically speaking, Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses could use Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum martial techniques freely.


    Even if he did not cultivate in it before, just by relying on his powerful understanding of Heavenly Dao, he could grasp it instantly too.


    It was just a pity that Ye Yuan��s punch was not included in it!


    This punch of Ye Yuan��s was just limited to his current realm and could not unleash its true power.


    Once Ye Yuan broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven, the power of this punch would become several levels stronger!


    Such a profound punch, he could not teach!

 Chapter 2712 - Becoming Sworn Brothers!

    Chapter 2712: Becoming Sworn Brothers!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Mi Tian said before, true dragons were born from chaos. They were birthed by heaven!


    And Ye Yuan cultivated the chaos origin divinity.


    Hence, when he urged the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist with chaos divine essence, it was indeed effective!


    ��Maybe in your view, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven is a very impressive thing. But to me, it��s no big deal,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon frowned slightly and said in an unfriendly tone, ��It��s a good thing for youngsters to be talented. But, if you are overly conceited, you won��t live for long!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Do you know why I��d appear on the Myriad Demons Mountain?��


    Without waiting for Saint Exalt Bull Demon to guess, Ye Yuan answered himself, ��Because I promised Bright Tiger King and the other four kings to help them to break through Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Little baby, do you know what Saint Sovereign Heaven is? On the massive Myriad Demons Mountain, with countless true spirits, there are even several dozen half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens. But there are only a scanty three Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! But when it reached your mouth, it became cabbages! Do you know that you��re very ignorant?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    But Shuoyan said, ��Master, I believe what Big Brother Ye Yuan said, he can definitely do it! In reality, including my royal father, the five of them kings believe Big Brother without a shadow of doubt too!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon scoffed and said, ��Just a human conman! The five of them are completely blind! How amazing and brilliant this exalt was back then, carving a bloody path out of countless powerhouses. I also spent countless years of training before I could take that step! A mere Limitless Sublime Heaven also dares to arbitrarily talk about Saint Sovereign Heaven, simply a joke!��


    Only when one reached Saint Sovereign Heaven, this threshold, and went to break through personally, would they know how difficult this step was!


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was someone who had experienced it. So he had even less faith that a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum could help half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens take this step.


    But Shuoyan said firmly, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan is different from the rest! Master took fancy on this disciple, it should be because of the bloodline that this disciple just awakened, right? But do you know why I was able to awaken the bloodline? It was Big Brother Ye Yuan��s true grade heavenly pill that let me awaken my bloodline!��


    ��Impossible! Bloodline power can only be awakened by relying on talent! How can there be the logic of awakening by relying on heavenly pills?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon immediately denied it.


    Shuoyan saw that Saint Exalt Bull Demon did not believe it and recounted the process of his awakening in detail and swore a deadly oath.


    When Saint Exalt Bull Demon saw Shuoyan saw the deadly oath and was perfectly fine, the shock in his heart could not be any greater!


    There was an adage among true spirits called ��bloodline is innate��.


    Which was to say that bloodline power was bestowed by heaven. It would only continuously awaken and become stronger by relying on your continuous hard work.


    What kind of heavenly pill could let Shuoyan awaken such a powerful bloodline power?


    It was hard to understand!


    But now, it was not up to him to not believe it.


    After a long silence, Saint Exalt Bull Demon asked this, ��You��re saying that he can refine grade four heavenly imperial pills?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, he believed it.


    Since he believed, this old bull naturally would not do anything to him.


    The most fearful thing was that you had no value to exploit.


    Very clearly, as a heavenly alchemist, the value was too great!


    Being able to refine grade four heavenly imperial pills, what did that mean?


    That meant that the heavenly pills that Ye Yuan refined were similarly useful to him, this Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Not being able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was naturally extremely painful.


    But breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven also did not mean that one could sit back and relax.


    Reaching this step, there was already no one who could refine heavenly pills for them.


    Even on Myriad Demons Mountain, the heavenly pills that were useful to them were also similarly exceedingly few!


    Therefore, every inch that they wanted to advance, required countless years to polish.


    It was naturally something that was doubly difficult if they wanted to make further breakthroughs on this foundation.


    At this time, a heavenly alchemist that could refine true grade heavenly imperial pills appeared. The significance was different!


    Shuoyan nodded his head heavily and said, ��Not just grade four heavenly imperial pills! Furthermore, it��s true grade heavenly imperial pills! True grade heavenly pills are too miraculous. I only took one heavenly pill and directly broke through a major cultivation realm! Furthermore, it even helped me to awaken my bloodline!��


    A figure walked out of the darkness.


    Ye Yuan two people finally saw Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s true face clearly.


    A brawny man with a bull��s nose and two horns.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Do you have true grade heavenly pills in your hands?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and fished out a crystal clear heavenly pill.


    When Saint Exalt Bull Demon saw this heavenly pill, his pupils could not help constricting!


    ��Fine pill!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon could not resist exclaiming.


    His realm was different from others. Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, those were all transcendent existences that entered sainthood. Their understanding of Heavenly Dao was not what normal people could compare to.


    The moment he saw this heavenly pill, he felt an aura of Great Dao. It was definitely not ordinary!


    This was a grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill. Ye Yuan spent a year��s time and finally cultivated the grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to the realm of true grade.


    The more he sized it up, the more Saint Exalt Bull Demon felt that this pill was extraordinary!


    ��There��s actually such a miraculous heavenly pill in this world! This exalt was ignorant and ill-informed!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��ll give this heavenly pill to Lord Saint Exalt. If Your Excellency is interested, why not try it out.��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s pupils constricted and he said, ��Really?��


    Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, ��You��re Lord Saint Exalt. Even if you take my heavenly pill by force, I also won��t dare to do anything.��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon shook his head and said, ��That won��t do! Of course that won��t do! You punk, who do you think this exalt is?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled but did not speak.


    It was not that Saint Exalt Bull Demon did not want to, and it was also not that he was not moved, but that he was clear in his heart that he could not lose the main goal because of small gains!


    This was merely a grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill. It would not have much effect on him.


    But, if it was a grade four heavenly imperial pill, then the effect would be totally different!


    Offending Ye Yuan now, when Ye Yuan could refine grade four heavenly pills in the future, he would not be so easy to talk to anymore.


    Getting Ye Yuan��s permission, Saint Exalt Bull Demon brook no delay and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill.


    Suddenly, his expression changed.


    He only felt that every pore on his body seemed to have opened up.


    A measly grade three heavenly pill was actually really effective on him!


    Although this effect was negligible, he clearly felt that his bloodline power really increased a little!


    One had to know, even if the rank of ordinary grade three heavenly pills reached upper ninth grade, it was also impossible to have the slightest effect on him.


    But this grade three heavenly pill had an effect!


    This was just a grade three heavenly pill. If it was a grade four heavenly pill?


    What if it was a grade five heavenly pill?


    Thinking up to here, Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s breathing could not help speeding up.


    That feeling was seemingly like being trapped in a cage for tens of thousands of years, and seeing the light of day!


    After so many years, the things that could move him were really in the minority.


    But today, he lost composure!


    ��What a miraculous heavenly pill! I didn��t expect that a measly grade three Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill is actually effective on this exalt! Ye Yuan, I admit that previously, it was this exalt who made an error of judgment! From today onward, you and I will address each other as brothers, alright?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon suddenly said something that made even Ye Yuan a little stunned.

 Chapter 2713 - Big Yellow Obeys!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Address each other as brothers? Could it be because of the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation?�� Ye Yuan suddenly gave birth to a trace of enlightenment and asked.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon nodded his head solemnly and said, ��That��s right. It��s precisely because of the Saint Exalt Dao Tribulation! This exalt is a little better off than those two guys. But I��ve also pulled through two Saint Exalt Dao Tribulations! Even if I can make it through the third time, I��d definitely turn to ashes at the fourth time too! If I still don��t break through, I��m really going to die!��


    Talking until the back, Saint Exalt Bull Demon could not resist letting out a long sigh.


    Clearly, this Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation was very terrifying!


    Saint Sovereign Heavens stood at the summit of this Rainclear Continent and were admired by thousands.


    But Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses also had the troubles of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    One of them was this Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation!


    Ye Yuan saw before sporadic records in the ancient books of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    When one��s cultivation reached Saint Sovereign Heaven, it would trigger the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulations had no fixed number. Some people went through it once every ten thousand years, some went through it once every 30 thousand years.


    Of course, there were also some unlucky ones that would come every thousand years.


    But Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation, each time was more terrifying than the last.


    Very few people were able to tide over more than three times.


    Of course, if your strength kept improving and you increased enough strength before the next Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation came, you would naturally be able to pass through it safely.


    What was scary was that your strength remained stagnant.


    Unfortunately, on Rainclear Continent, cultivating to Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm was naturally the end already.


    Without the support of grade five heavenly pills, without heaven-defying cultivation methods, without astonishing fortuitous encounters, one would basically kick the bucket on the second or third Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    It was also precisely because of this that the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses on Rainclear Continent would be so rare.


    Otherwise, even if Saint Sovereign Heaven was hard to break through, there would always be some over the accumulation of time.


    But the reality was that the Saint Sovereign Heavens on the entire Rainclear Continent added up, absolutely would not exceed ten fingers too!


    ��Huhu, since Big Brother Bull Demon favors this younger brother, then it will be disrespectful for Ye Yuan to decline,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was overjoyed when he heard that. Grabbing Ye Yuan��s hand excitedly, he said, ��Good brother, from now on, your business is my business!��


    Ye Yuan also smiled and said, ��Big Brother rest assured, this little brother still has some confidence in alchemy. Leave the matter of heavenly pills to me.��


    The two exchanged a glance and laughed loudly.


    Ye Yuan was also not block-headed, what a Saint Sovereign Heaven big brother would bring to him was too much!


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon clearly understood this too. That was why he would acknowledge Ye Yuan this brother.


    Even if he did not take action, the name of a Saint Sovereign Heaven��s brother could also let Ye Yuan obtain too much.


    There was at least one thing, having acknowledged this big brother, Ye Yuan would not have any problems passing through the Myriad Demons Mountain and returning to the Five Great Heavenly Regions anymore.


    Shuoyan who was by the side was completely dumbfounded.


    They were still shouting and wrangling earlier. How did these two become brothers in a blink of an eye?


    ��Hang on! I just acknowledged Lord Saint Exalt as my master. Big Brother, you acknowledged Lord Saint Exalt as your big brother. Then what am I?�� Shuoyan said with a confused look.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��To each his own! When you��re together with Big Brother, you naturally call him Master. When together with me, you naturally call me as big brother too.��


    Shuoyan did not seem to have encountered such a complicated relationship before, nodding his head like he did not fully understand.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was clearly very satisfied with this too.


    He nodded and said with a smile, ��As it ought to be! Heh heh, that old ape and big bird keep bragging every day about how incredible their disciples are! Shuoyan, you have to make a good showing for Master this time!��


    Being able to make Saint Exalt Bull Demon say this, the old ape and big bird were naturally the other two Saint Exalt Heavens.


    Shuoyan nodded and said, ��Master rest assured. This disciple will live up to expectations! But before this, this disciple still has some personal affairs and needs to go back to the clan to settle. Master, please allow it.��


    Talking up to here, Shuoyan��s eyes revealed a hint of fierceness.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he secretly nodded to himself.


    This kid finally grew up!


    He did not have the ambition to compete, but his nine older brothers united and forced him to become how he was now.


    Although the current Shuoyan still had a childish air, his tiger dominance aura had already appeared.


    Given time, he would definitely be the second Bright Tiger King.


    Of course, in Ye Yuan��s view, his accomplishments would likely be even above Bright Tiger��s!


    What kind of character was Saint Exalt Bull Demon? He saw through an inkling with just one glance and said with a nod, ��Mn, let Big Yellow accompany you on the trip!��


    Bringing the two people out of the cave, Big Yellow was currently standing obediently at one side, appearing very simple and honest.


    ��Big Yellow, this is my new sworn brother, Ye Yuan. From now on, you have to treat him with respect like a teacher. Understand?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said coolly.


    The old yellow bull��s bull eyes immediately became wide saucers, staring fixedly at Ye Yuan, as if he saw some monster.


    He did not understand why Ye Yuan became Lord Saint Exalt��s brother with a sway of his figure after going in for a while?


    One had to know, even a genius like Shuoyan could only become Lord Saint Exalt��s disciple too!


    What capability did this boy have, to actually be able to become brothers with a Saint Exalt?


    ��Lord Saint Exalt, this ����


    When Ye Yuan saw the big yellow bull��s wonderful expression, he found it amusing in his heart too.


    But his face revealed a very furious expression, and he said with a cold smile, ��Big Brother, I can��t bear his courtesy! Senior Big Yellow even said that this younger brother tried to emulate something beyond my ability and fell flat on my face just now, and I even nearly died twice at his hands!��


    The moment Big Yellow heard, he immediately felt like he was struck by lightning.


    He was definitely taking the blame for this!


    One had to know, this was all Lord Saint Exalt��s order. He could not very well let Lord Saint Exalt receive the punishment, right?


    The big yellow bull could only say, ��This �� Master Ye is lofty. It was all Big Yellow��s fault previously. Big Yellow apologizes to you here!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Big Yellow and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Want me to forgive, sure. You promise me one thing and our scores are squared.��


    Seeing the smile on Ye Yuan��s face that was up to no good, Big Yellow��s heart raced.


    But at this time, he could not refuse it either.


    At once, he could only nod. He said, ��Master Ye, Your Excellency, please instruct.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Mn, I��m just about to go to Bright Tiger King��s territory to take care of business. Let me ride you, and the grievances between us will be considered squared.��


    The big yellow ox was an ox, but currently, his face practically became black as the bottom of a wok.


    He was a dignified peak Jade Sovereign Heaven super expert. Yet, he was actually going to be ridden as a mount by a Limitless Sublime Heaven?


    He knew that this matter could not be brushed over, but he did not expect that Ye Yuan would use this kind of method to take revenge on him!


    By the side, Saint Exalt Bull Demon had an awkward face too.


    But at this time, he naturally would not draw trouble onto himself and could only say, ��Big Yellow, I��ll have to trouble you to make a trip! When you reach Bright Tiger��s territory, listen to Ye Yuan��s orders. That will do. Don��t make this expression. Letting Ye Yuan ride you will only be beneficial to you and won��t do you harm.��


    Big Yellow had a flurry of curses run across his mind.


    What was called only be beneficial and would not harm you?


    He, a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, being ridden around, how would he still show his face in the territory in the future?


    Wouldn��t those few old things mock him to death?


    But regarding Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s words, he had no choice but to listen and could only say, ��Yes, Big Yellow obeys!��

 Chapter 2714 - Big Yellow, Be Obedient!

    Chapter 2714: Big Yellow, Be Obedient!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bright Tiger King��s territory was long already in upheaval.


    Currently, the other four half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens brought their armies and were currently locked in a struggle with Bright Tiger King.


    Bright Tiger King fought one-against-four, and it could be seen that it was rather difficult.


    However, his strength was indeed fearsome too. He actually managed to resist for some time.


    While his subordinates also fought dauntlessly in bloody battles, killing until their eyes turned red.


    ��Are the four of you really going to fight to the death?�� Bright Tiger King roared angrily.


    ��Humph! You��ve cut off our hope and are still talking big here! Ye Yuan was only placed with you for a year and you��ve killed him. What��s the point of talking about it now?�� Myriad Elephant King said in a solemn voice.


    ��The son that I��m most proud of has died too!��


    ��One son died, you still have nine! But Ye Yuan is dead, how will we break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven? Enough said! Your territory is going to disappear from the Myriad Demons Mountain today!�� Heavenly Rat King cried out.


    Bright Tiger said angrily, ��Want me dead, the few of you have to pay the price in blood too!��


    Both sides fought fiercely without resting, either you die or I perish.


    The great battle of Three Saint Mountain touched the nerves of the five factions very quickly.


    When Bright Tiger received the news from the front, he was immediately dumbfounded.


    Three Saint Mountain was just a small faction. Going over with Ye Yuan��s strength, it was very easy to protect himself.


    Who could have expected that more than ten Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses suddenly appeared there?


    The true spirit army that Shuoyan brought over was completely wiped out, corpses scattered everywhere. The five parties all thought that Ye Yuan was already dead.


    This was equivalent to saying that their hope of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven had been completely cut off!


    How could they not be angry when they got this news?


    Myriad Elephant King they all naturally pinned this matter on Bright Tiger.


    Bright Tiger completely did not know that those Jade Sovereign Heavens sent out to kill Ye Yuan and Shuoyan were actually his own nine sons!


    Of course, Hefeng they all would not tell Bright Tiger too.


    In reality, they all also did not expect that it would cause such grave consequences.


    Currently, Hefeng nine people were fighting dauntlessly in bloody battles, killing extremely tragically.


    The battle on both sides kept on escalating and becoming increasingly fiercer and already reached the extent of being irreconcilable till death.


    Bright Tiger King��s combat power was top-notch among the five people, the strength of his subordinates was naturally the strongest among the five people too.


    But, no matter how strong his strength was, it was also impossible to surpass the sum of the four.


    If Myriad Elephant four people wanted to eradicate Bright Tiger��s faction, they naturally had to pay a heavy price.


    If hope was not really cut off, they would not be so furious too.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the earth quaked and mountains swayed.


    The expressions of everyone on the battlefield changed one after another.


    ��Stop!�� A thunderous voice entered everyone��s ears.


    Everyone looked over following the voice and discovered a white-robed youth riding a large yellow bull, walking over leisurely.


    In an instant, countless eyes focused on that white-robed youth.


    The way that he took the stage was seriously too attention-grabbing!


    As for Shuoyan who was behind Big Yellow, he was directly overlooked by everyone.


    ��Who is this white-robed youth? To actually be riding a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven old yellow ox, it��s too impressive!��


    ��It��s a human! I heard that the four kings and Bright Tiger King are fighting in a life-and-death struggle because of a human. It wouldn��t be him, right?��


    ��No way, right? Isn��t he dead?��


    �� ��


    A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum riding on a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven old yellow bull, this image was too impactful.


    Grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, what kind of proud existence was that?


    Even in death, they would not be other people��s mount too!


    Unless the other party was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    But, a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually did it!


    ��Ye Yuan! He actually didn��t die? Mn? That �� That �� How is this possible? How is this possible?�� When Bright Tiger saw Ye Yuan, his eyes genuinely brimmed over with hot tears.


    Ye Yuan appeared too timely. If it dragged on, he would have definitely died without a doubt!


    But, when his gaze landed on the old yellow bull under Ye Yuan, his entire person was immediately petrified!


    Those small fries naturally did not recognize the large yellow bull, but as an existence with half a foot into Saint Sovereign Heaven, how could he not recognize it?


    ��Bright Tiger, that wouldn��t be �� be ���� Wild Lion King said with his eyes full of shock.


    ��There��s no mistake. It��s him!�� Bright Tiger said with absolute certainty.


    He had seen General Big Yellow Bull in front of Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s seat when he entered the Saint Exalt��s territory!


    It was also precisely because of this that Saint Exalt Bull Demon made Big Yellow Bull come over.


    Although Big Yellow Bull��s strength was not as strong as Bright Tiger they all, who he represented was Saint Sovereign Heaven. Who dared to not give face?


    Bright Tiger never dreamed that Ye Yuan would actually ride on Big Yellow Bull and return to Bright Tiger Territory!


    Getting a confirmed answer, the four people trembled all over, their eyes full of shock.


    What kind of status did the big yellow bull have?


    Although they were half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, they absolutely did not dare to offend the big yellow bull.


    But Ye Yuan actually rode him as a mount!


    More importantly, the big yellow bull was actually willing to let him ride!


    This was simply inconceivable!


    ��How can he? How dare he!�� Wild Lion King said puzzledly.


    In reality, there was a myriad of curses galloping across Big Yellow Bull��s heart currently.


    He was considered to have completely lost his face today!


    Who knew that at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly patted his head and said with a smile, ��Be obedient, Big Yellow. Seeing that your performance is pretty good, I��ll award you this thing.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan threw a Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill into Big Yellow��s mouth.


    Big Yellow did not see clearly what that was either, but he knew that it was a heavenly pill. Either way, it would not be detrimental to him.


    It was just that he did not harbor much hope about the effect of this heavenly pill.


    What rubbish effect could the heavenly pill taken out by a Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum have?


    But as soon as the heavenly pill entered his mouth, he immediately felt something different.


    He felt as if the top of his skull was opened up!


    That huge door that he always wanted to touch, but could not touch, seemed to have a gap pushed open!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    That was the feeling of Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Big Yellow��s heart was in an upsurge, excited to the extreme.


    How many years had he waited for this day?


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help smiling as he said, ��Tsk tsk, Big Yellow, you look dumb as hell. I didn��t expect that you��re still pretty smart. Didn��t think that this one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill let you gain enlightenment.��


    He knew that this was the effect of Big Yellow��s immense accumulations erupting.


    Although the true grade Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was incredible, it was impossible to really play a role in breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Most of it was due to Big Yellow��s own accumulations.


    Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill was equivalent to an ingredient added to enhance the efficacy of a medicine.


    This kind of state was about the same as Jiang Li breaking through to Jade Sovereign Heaven back then.


    Of course, it was naturally impossible for one Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill to knock open the door of Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But after taking this step, Big Yellow was only half a step away from Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Big Yellow continued walking forward, but the imposing momentum on his body became stronger and stronger.


    The mountain full of true spirits looked at Ye Yuan, their eyes full of shock.


    He fed the big yellow bull a grade three heavenly pill, then the big yellow bull broke through!


    Gradually, there was an additional fleeting and ephemeral aura on Big Yellow, exactly alike Bright Tiger and the rest.


    This kind of aura was precisely the hallmark of a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Big Yellow forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart and opened his mouth and said, ��Big Yellow thanks Master Ye for bestowing the pill!��


    At this moment, he finally understood what Lord Saint Exalt��s words meant.

 Chapter 2715 - Cleaning Up Household!

    Chapter 2715: Cleaning Up Household!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan patted his bull head and said smilingly, ��What? Not killing me anymore?��


    Big Yellow sweat heavily and hurriedly said, ��Master��s methods are mysterious and unpredictable. It was Big Yellow who offended Master Ye previously! From now on, Big Yellow will definitely show Master Ye the etiquette of a disciple!��


    At this point, if he still did not understand why Lord Saint Exalt would address Ye Yuan as a brother, then he would really be an idiot.


    A grade three heavenly pill actually let him break through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven. It was simply inconceivable!


    Using mysterious and unpredictable to describe was not overboard in the slightest.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Mn, after going back, I��ll give you a list. If you can gather the heavenly medicines, I��ll naturally help you to refine a Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill as well when the time comes, and help you to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.��


    Big Yellow Bull��s body quivered and he said in disbelief, ��I-Is this for real?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course it��s real. Otherwise, do you think Big Brother��s words were to make a fool out of you?��


    Arriving in front of Bright Tiger and the rest, they gave a bow to Big Yellow.


    ��Paying respects to Commander Big Yellow, congratulations to Commander Big Yellow for breaking through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Toward these few people, Big Yellow naturally had a sense of superiority and said with a nod, ��Thank you, gentlemen. The one in charge here today is Master Ye. You guys just have to listen to his orders.��


    The few people trembled all over as they said in disbelief, ��Master Ye?��


    What kind of status did Commander Big Yellow have, to actually show Ye Yuan the etiquette of a disciple? What was wrong with this world?


    Ye Yuan disappeared for a period of time and actually became ��Master Ye�� with a sudden metamorphosis!


    Although they already faintly had some conjectures previously that Ye Yuan became associated with Saint Exalt Bull Demon. But, becoming this sort of relationship all of a sudden, they still felt that it was inconceivable!


    Big Yellow said coolly, ��Master Ye has become sworn brothers with Lord Saint Exalt. This commander naturally addresses him as master!��


    ��What?! B-Became sworn brothers?�� Bright Tiger King��s entire body trembled, almost biting his own tongue off.


    At this moment, their pleasant surprise about losing Ye Yuan and recovering him turned into fright.


    This was no joke!


    A Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum became sworn brothers with Lord Saint Exalt. What the hell was this?


    One had to know, Ye Yuan was a hostage-like existence at their place.


    They actually took Lord Saint Exalt��s brother hostage!


    This crime was heinous!


    Although these few were all half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, they did not know about Saint Sovereign Heavens needing to transcend tribulations.


    They were naturally also unable to understand why Saint Exalt Bull Demon would do such a preposterous thing.


    ��That��s right! Lord Saint Exalt said that if you see Master Ye in the future, it��s equivalent to seeing him. If anyone wants to make things difficult for Master Ye, that��s making things difficult for him!�� Big Yellow said coolly.


    The five people��s expressions instantly became ugly to the extreme.


    ��P-Paying respects to Master Ye!�� Bright Tiger King was the first to react as he said rather awkwardly.


    ��Paying respects to Master Ye!�� Myriad Elephant and the rest all bowed awkwardly as they said.


    Their words carried thick fear.


    What they were more scared of was Ye Yuan settling the scores afterward!


    With a Saint Sovereign Heaven as a backer, it was effortless to eradicate them!


    How could Ye Yuan not know their concerns? He said with a smile, ��Gentlemen, don��t need to be afraid, I don��t have the intention of settling scores with you all. What I promised you all, I��ll do it too. But right now, we��d better take care of Bright Tiger King��s family matters first.��


    ��Family matters?�� Bright Tiger said with a blank face.


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of Hefeng and the rest who were behind Bright Tiger changed drastically.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t you know that Shuoyan and I getting besieged on Three Saint Mountain, it was actually the work of your few sons?��


    ��What?!�� Bright Tiger��s tiger body trembled and he turned to look at his sons.


    ��Royal Father, we didn��t!�� Shaba was the first to react and denied it firmly.


    ��Yeah, Royal Father. Think about it, with our strength, how can we possibly mobilize so many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses? Ye Yuan he came under the patronage of a big shot and is making slanderous charges!�� Hefeng also said with righteous indignation.


    Purplelight Battle Wolf they all had long already hidden themselves.


    Either way, there was no proof either. As long as they denied it firmly, what could Ye Yuan do to them?


    The moment Bright Tiger heard, his brows furrowed slightly.


    Although he doted on his youngest son Shuoyan, it was also impossible to sentence nine sons to death because of one sentence.


    ��Master Ye, although you become sworn brothers with Lord Saint Exalt now, you also can��t slander people at random, right? This king is most clear about their strength. It��s impossible to mobilize so many Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!�� Bright Tiger said.


    Hearing this, Hefeng and the rest all secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they looked toward Ye Yuan gloatingly.


    Shuoyan was young in the end, hearing his few older brothers quibble like this, he was long already burning with fury.


    ��Do you all still want face or not? The Eight-spotted Leopard and Purplelight Battle Wolf already personally admitted it. You guys are actually still putting on an act here! To think that I��ve always regarded you guys as my closest loved ones, when in fact you all are actually so vicious!�� Shuoyan said furiously.


    ��Old Sixteen, you can��t anyhow say things! As elder brothers, we didn��t skimp out on doting you and giving in to you normally! I believe that Royal Father sees this too! Now that you found a backer, you��re going to put your hands on your brothers? Old Sixteen, aren��t you a little too vicious?�� Shaba said with a look of indignation.


    ��Old Sixteen, you still require your own effort if you want to succeed Royal Father��s position of king. Even if you kill all of us, it won��t do if your strength is lacking!�� Hefeng supplemented with a stab.


    When Bright Tiger heard this, he nodded his head in even greater agreement.


    He could still tell how they behaved normally.


    The other nine have indeed shown consideration and care for Shuoyan.


    It was just that he did not know that the situation in the past year had already changed too much.


    ��Old Sixteen, you��ve grown up! It��s just that this kind of method disappoints this king too greatly!�� Bright Tiger let out a sigh and said with melancholy.


    ��You all �� You all �� �� Shuoyan��s face reddened to the ears in his anxiousness.


    Shuoyan discovered that he was still too inexperienced.


    With a few words, he was actually rebutted until he had nothing to say in reply.


    He seriously could not find the evidence to refute them.


    At this time, Ye Yuan patted his shoulder and said unhurriedly, ��Kid, don��t need to be anxious until your face changes colors. Teach you another move today. In this world, words are feeble. Only strength is the true capital to establish yourself!��


    The moment his voice faded, an origin divinity attack burst forth.


    Shaba gave a muffled groan and directly fell to the ground dead.


    The faces of everyone present changed.


    No one expected that Ye Yuan actually made a move to kill under the circumstances where there was no valid reason at all!


    ��Ye Yuan, you!�� Bright Tiger said furiously.


    He was already guarding against Ye Yuan, but he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually instantly killed Shaba with an origin divinity attack!


    Ye Yuan ignored him and still said to Shuoyan lightly, ��I��ll get things rolling. I��ll leave the rest to you.��


    Shuoyan��s entire body trembled and immediately nodded his head deeply.


    Since words failed, then he would kill!


    Shuoyan was a hot-blooded man in his bones too.


    At this point, he naturally had no reason to shrink back.


    Bright Tiger��s face fell and he said in a cold voice, ��Shuoyan, you dare?!��


    Big Yellow Bull snorted and said coolly, ��This commander wants to see who dares to make a move!��

 Chapter 2716 - Ye Yuan’s Plans

    Chapter 2716: Ye Yuan��s Plans


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The moment Big Yellow Bull opened his mouth, everyone��s faces changed.


    Although he was just a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, behind him was a real Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven was God in the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    ��Commander Big Yellow, this isn��t appropriate, right? This is my family matter!�� Bright Tiger said in a solemn voice.


    ��There��s nothing inappropriate! If this commander can��t convince you all, there��s naturally Lord Saint Exalt who will come forth personally. At that time, I��m afraid that nobody here will be able to live! I think that you all know the Myriad Demons Mountain��s rules!��


    Big Yellow said it nonchalantly, but each word struck the hearts of Bright Tiger and the rest.


    What rule did Myriad Demons Mountain have?


    The strong reigned supreme!


    If the strong wanted you dead, they did not need any reason at all!


    This was the law of the jungle!


    I��m strong, so I can dominate everything.


    And the true masters of this Myriad Demons Mountain were the three great Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    Shuoyan��s gaze turned slightly dark and he spoke up, ��Royal Father, me and my eight older brothers are already irreconcilable till death! Today, Shuoyan will have a fair fight with them! If Shuoyan is defeated and dies, there will absolutely be no complaints!��


    Bright Tiger��s gaze turned sharp and he said in a solemn voice, ��You mean, you want to fight one against eight?��


    ��Precisely so!�� Shuoyan said firmly.


    ��Hiss ����


    Countless true spirits drew a breath of cold air.


    Bright Tiger King��s ten sons, apart from Shuoyan, they were all dragons among men.


    Their strength was extremely strong existences among the Myriad Demons Mountain��s junior generation.


    This Shuoyan actually wanted to fight one-on-eight, wasn��t this courting death?


    Bright Tiger King seemed to have somewhat waned interest, waving his hand and said, ��Forget it. If you all want to fight, just fight then!��


    Shuoyan��s gaze swept across his eight older brothers and he said calmly, ��Eight brothers, Shuoyan will give you all the chance to kill me today! Please go ahead!��


    Hefeng snorted coldly and said, ��Old Sixteen, you��re too conceited! Although your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds these few years, your foundation isn��t stable! Since you��re seeking death, then your brothers will send you off!��


    Seeing that Shuoyan actually wanted to fight one-against-eight, Hefeng and the rest were all pleasantly surprised.


    They were extremely confident in their strength, how could they possibly lose to this brat?


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    These eight people naturally had no intention of showing mercy. Each and every one of them released their auras fully and rushed forward.


    ��HAH!��


    Shuoyan roared, a terrifying bloodline pressure instantly exploding.


    ��Greater Xiantian Dipper Fist!��


    It was only to see Shuoyan throw a punch out. Everyone��s faces instantly changed.


    The power of this punch already reached the pinnacle of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Nobody expected that Shuoyan��s one punch actually had such terrifying power.


    Rumble!


    Throwing a punch out, the terrifying air billows directly sent all the eight tiger sons flying.


    One punch defeated eight people!


    When Shuoyan was at middle Limitless Sublime Heaven, his strength could already contend with grand completion Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    After awakening his bloodline, not only did his cultivation realm increase, the power of his bloodline even grew significantly stronger!


    Now, he was virtually matchless below Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum already.


    And when Bright Tiger King saw this punch, his eyes revealed even greater shock.


    ��Greater Xiantian Dipper Fist! This �� Isn��t this the ultimate move that Saint Exalt Bull Demon comprehended? How does Shuoyan know it?�� Bright Tiger King said in inexplicable shock.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your son is currently Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s personal disciple. Is it very strange that he knows this move?��


    The Shuoyan after awakening his bloodline, his talent was indeed terrifying too, as if he had become enlightened.


    He only used half a month��s time and already had a preliminary grasp of this move.


    Compared to Saint Exalt Bull Demon, he was naturally 108 thousand miles away. But it was more than enough to deal with his few older brothers who had a similar realm with him.


    Bright Tiger King��s tiger body trembled and he said in shock once again, ��What? Shuoyan?! He �� He became Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s personal disciple?��


    He felt that the sudden turn of events he had encountered in this lifetime was not as many as today!


    Big Yellow Bull said coolly, ��That��s right! Shuoyan awakened a powerful bloodline talent. His future accomplishments will likely far surpass yours. Your other sons are no longer important! So, do you think that Shuoyan will do something to harm his biological brothers in order to inherit your mantle? Does he have the need?��


    Bright Tiger King��s entire person was petrified there, his head rumbling.


    It was naturally impossible for Big Yellow Bull to lie about this matter. The Greater Xiantian Dipper Fist could not be faked either.


    This was to say that he was deceived by this bunch of scoundrels?


    Furthermore, it was actually this bunch of sons that caused this consequence today?


    With the truth coming to light, there seemed to be a volcano in Bright Tiger King��s chest that was about to erupt!


    ��Hefeng!�� Bright Tiger King bellowed loudly, scaring the mountain full of true spirits until their expressions changed.


    ��R-Royal Father!��


    Hefeng was severely wounded by one punch and still vomiting blood out of his mouth. But, he was more frightened.


    Hearing that Shuoyan became a Saint Exalt��s disciple, he already despaired in his heart.


    ��I��m not your royal father! Huhu, the few of you are really my good sons!�� Bright Tiger smiled coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.


    ��Royal Father, it �� it��s not what you think! W-We really didn��t do anything!�� Hefeng said fearfully.


    Bang!


    Bright Tiger pointed a finger. A terrifying force directly penetrated Hefeng��s head.


    Hefeng, dead!


    Following that, he flicked his sleeves and said in a solemn voice, ��Drag them all away for me and kill them!��


    Bright Tiger King directly sentenced his eight sons to death.


    Now, he only had one son, Shuoyan.


    Of course, this son was also his pride!


    ��Good! Fine lad! Royal father has wronged you! You lived up to expectations!�� Bright Tiger hugged Shuoyan and said apologetically.


    ��It��s not that I lived up to expectations, but that Big Brother Ye Yuan is amazing! If it wasn��t for his heavenly pill, it wouldn��t have been possible for me to awaken my bloodline too. Master he also wouldn��t have taken fancy on me, and we��d have long died in the Saint Exalt��s territory as well. Everything about this child was thanks to Big Brother!�� Shuoyan said.


    Bright Tiger was shocked in his heart. He already overestimated Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill as much as possible, but he did not expect that he still underestimated it!


    He did not think that Shuoyan could actually awaken such a terrifying bloodline power.


    Just now, when Shuoyan took action, he already felt it clearly.


    Shuoyan��s bloodline power was extremely high-level, he was unable to distinguish it at all!


    But without a doubt, it was far stronger than him, this father!


    This son��s future accomplishments would definitely be above his!


    Now, he even became Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s disciple. This was simply soaring to the heavens in one bound.


    ��Oh, right! Right! Master Ye, Bright Tiger has offended previously, hope that Master Lord will be magnanimous and don��t fuss about it!�� Bright Tiger King said in fear and trepidation.


    Right now, he no longer had the slightest sense of superiority in front of Ye Yuan.


    If Ye Yuan was willing, he could even determine his life and death with a word!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Alright, your family matter has also been dealt with. Everyone can scatter then. The few of you rest assured. What I promised you all is still effective! Having a few more Saint Sovereign Heavens in this Myriad Demons Mountain isn��t a bad thing either. But, you all have to hurry up with the matter of searching for heavenly pills.��


    Ye Yuan naturally had selfish motives in doing so too.


    The power and influence of the Pill Alliance were too powerful!


    They had true grade heavenly pills too, creating Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses was naturally nothing difficult as well!


    If Ye Yuan wanted to return to the Five Great Heavenly Regions, he must have a powerful faction as the backing.


    This Myriad Demons Mountain was naturally the best choice!

 Chapter 2717 - Exiting Seclusion!

    Chapter 2717: Exiting Seclusion!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Cultivation was timeless, there were no years in the mountains.


    50 years passed in a haste.


    During these 50 years, Ye Yuan spent a rare period of peaceful days in the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    On this day, outside a cave, Bright Tiger five people were fidgety, pacing back and forth continuously.


    ��I say, Golden Fur, can you stop for a while? You keep pacing around, Your Father��s eyes are getting dizzy!�� Bright Tiger said in annoyance.


    Golden Fur was naturally the Wild Lion King.


    The moment Wild Lion heard, he said in a great rage, ��Look at that tiger face of yours. It��s almost drooping into a donkey��s face. What qualifications do you have to talk about Your Father?��


    This cave was precisely Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion venue.


    And today was the day when Ye Yuan��s 50-year oath expired!


    If Ye Yuan could not hand over the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill today, he would suffer Heavenly Dao��s backlash and die!


    And the five of their Saint Sovereign Heaven dream would also be completely shattered.


    Therefore, the five of them seemed very restless at this time.


    Of course, more of it was worry.


    ��Sigh, I say, can Ye Yuan really do it? 50 years to break through a major cultivation realm and even have to reach that inconceivable realm in Alchemy Dao, it��s seriously too hellish!�� Myriad Elephant said worriedly.


    ��Thinking about it now, it��s indeed a little too optimistic! This sort of thing, it doesn��t feel too probable when you think about it too!�� Bright Tiger King said.


    ��There��s still less than an hour before the oath needs to be fulfilled! He hasn��t even come out until now. I��m afraid that his chances of coming out are very slim!��


    They admitted that Ye Yuan was extremely monstrous.


    But 50 years ago, Ye Yuan had merely just entered Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and had not even begun researching grade three heavenly pills.


    These 50 years, not only did Ye Yuan have to break through a major cultivation realm in Martial Dao realm, he even had to break through two major realms in Alchemy Dao!


    This sort of thing, thinking about it did not feel too likely either.


    One had to know, how many amazingly talented people had been blocked by Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum this threshold?


    Jiang Li was known as Heavenly South��s number one genius and he was also sealed in front of this step for as long as several hundred years!


    A martial arts genius like Luo Yunqing was similarly blocked for hundreds of years.


    Breaking through to the realm of Sovereign required opportunity!


    But only a short 50 years was given to Ye Yuan!


    What was even more damning was that Ye Yuan��s incomparably profound alchemy path realm undoubtedly required even more time to polish.


    Bright Tiger five people and Saint Exalt Bull Demon practically dug three feet into the ground of the entire Myriad Demons Mountain and finally gathered six portions of the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill��s heavenly medicines five years ago.


    However, it had already been more than ten years since Ye Yuan��s last closed-seclusion!


    They also did not know how far Ye Yuan had reached.


    ��Humph! The few of you listen up, if Ye Yuan can��t come out, kill yourselves to atone for your crime!��


    At this time, Saint Exalt Bull Demon who had his eyes closed all along not far away suddenly opened his mouth.


    The moment the five people heard, their expressions changed greatly.


    Ye Yuan getting killed by Heavenly Dao backlash was equivalent to severing his path forward too.


    How could he tolerate this sort of thing?


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon firmly believed that with Ye Yuan��s talent, reaching that profound realm was merely a matter of time.


    But these five fools actually forced Ye Yuan to sweat a Heavenly Dao Oath and had Ye Yuan refine the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill within 50 years!


    50 years was far too short!


    How amazingly talented was he, Saint Exalt Bull Demon? Back then, he spent several thousand years to cross a major cultivation realm.


    Let alone that Ye Yuan also had to spend a lot of energy on the alchemy path.


    In the view of Saint Exalt Bull Demon, these five people��s actions were simply foolish!


    Once a Heavenly Dao Oath was activated, it would be a dead end.


    Even he, this Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, would not be able to undo it as well.


    ��Lord Saint Exalt, we ����


    ��Shut up! Are your brains all made out of shit? What can 50 years be enough for? Mn? Whoever speaks again can go and die right now!��


    Heavenly Rat King was just about to open his mouth to provide an explanation when he was rebuffed by Saint Exalt Bull Demon.


    They did not understand why Lord Saint Exalt would be so furious.


    Even if a heavenly alchemist died, it was also not to an extent of being so irritable, right?


    Rather, it was Bright Tiger King��s face that changed repeatedly, but he did not say much.


    He learned about the secret of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses from Shuoyan.


    If Ye Yuan died, it would be equivalent to cutting off the hope of Saint Exalt Bull Demon transcending the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation. How could he not be furious?


    Following Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s fury, tranquility was restored outside the cave.


    Time slowly trickled by, everyone felt each second pass like a year.


    Finally, the time had come!


    But, Ye Yuan still did not walk out of the cave!


    Everyone��s heart sank to rock-bottom.


    15 minutes!


    An hour!


    Two hours!


    Ye Yuan still did not come out!


    Everyone despaired.


    ��Sigh, did he still fail in the end?�� Bright Tiger shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.


    Another two hours passed, Ye Yuan still did not appear.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon opened his eyes. The disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    ��Shuoyan, go and collect your big brother��s corpse!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a light sigh.


    One sentence made Shuoyan��s tears directly fall down.


    He struggled to stride forward, walking towards the cave.


    When he reached the entrance of the cave, he could no longer take another step forward.


    But right then, a figure walked out of the darkness.


    Shuoyan��s entire body trembled. Rubbing the tears away from his eyes with all his might, a pair of tiger eyes became wide-saucers.


    Immediately, the sorrow on his face turned into ecstasy.


    ��B-Big Brother! Big Brother he��s alright!�� Shuoyan was agitated until his words came out flusteredly.


    Including Saint Exalt Bull Demon, everyone present trembled all over.


    ��He �� He really did it?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan appearing safely meant that he had fulfilled the oath!


    This nearly impossible to complete task was completed by him!


    Inconceivable!


    ��He really did it! He �� He really did it!��


    After the shock, Bright Tiger five people were wildly ecstatic!


    Ye Yuan completing the oath meant that they were already very, very close to the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Even Big Yellow who had been honest and taciturn all along started trembling uncontrollably at this time too.


    The current Ye Yuan appeared somewhat tired.


    His complexion was a little pale.


    It was like he had just experienced a great battle.


    In reality, he already finished the refinement a few days ago.


    However, he refined another three grade four heavenly imperial pills.


    The goal was to wake Mi Tian up!


    In these 50 years, Mi Tian had been in a deep sleep all along.


    The situation of the dragon heart was not optimistic.


    Therefore, he thought of using his bloodline power to reverse-flood the dragon heart, and make the dragon heart stronger again.


    It was just that Ye Yuan knew that the dragon heart was like a huge container. With his strength, it could not be filled at all.


    Hence, he refined three true grade heavenly imperial pills that restored the vital energy and blood, to help himself.


    These few days, Ye Yuan kept pouring the power of vitality and blood into the dragon heart continuously, and it really had an effect.


    Mi Tian finally woke up after sleeping for 50 years.


    When he woke up, he was very surprised too.


    Making a move the last time was quite damaging to him, he thought that he would fall into a deep sleep for hundreds of years.


    He did not expect that he was actually woken up by Ye Yuan!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s mentally and physically exhausted appearance, Mi Tian was extremely moved.


    This made him feel that he had found the right person!

 Chapter 2718 - Six Great Saint Sovereign Heavens!

    Chapter 2718: Six Great Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��All using this sort of eyes to look at me for? Did you all think that I died inside?��


    Ye Yuan looked at the few people��s expressions. How could he still not know what they were thinking?


    ��N-Not at all! Huhu, with Master Ye��s methods, how can you possibly suffer Heavenly Dao backlash and die?�� Wild Lion King replied awkwardly.


    Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves, several streaks of light shot toward Bright Tiger six people respectively.


    The six people were startled and hurriedly reached out to catch it.


    Then, they held it carefully in their palm, as if holding a snowflake in their hands, afraid of it melting.


    The six great true spirits looked at Ye Yuan resentfully.


    As if saying: this was the hope leading to Saint Sovereign heaven, you��re actually being too casual!


    At the same time, feeling the surging power of Great Dao coming from the heavenly pill in their hand, they were extremely moved.


    These grade four heavenly imperial pills were really refined by Ye Yuan!


    Furthermore, they were of true grade!


    ��Actually, I finished refining it half a month ago. But in the past half month, I had another important matter, that��s why I was delayed in leaving seclusion. I said before, to promise you all to definitely complete it. I naturally won��t go back on my word,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    When the few people heard, they all had bitter smiles on their faces.


    Since you already finished, why didn��t you leave seclusion earlier?


    Although we��re half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, our little hearts were almost frightened to death by you too!


    But the few people all put away the heavenly pill carefully, planning to go back and enter closed-seclusion.


    ��Hahaha, as expected of my good brother! Ye Yuan, you didn��t disappoint this exalt!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I said before, this younger brother still has some confidence in the path of alchemy. Although 50 years is a little tight, since I dared to promise, I naturally more or less had some confidence. I wonder if Big Brother��s heavenly medicines are prepared?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon said, ��No rush, no rush! You��ve worked hard these few years! Rest well for a period of time first before refining. This old man can still afford to wait for this bit of time.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then I��ll accept deferentially rather than to decline courteously!��


    �� ��


    On this day, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; a magnificent and mighty panorama.


    A bright-colored enormous tiger soared into the sky. The entire Myriad Demons Mountain could see it clearly.


    For some time, the entire Myriad Demons Mountain was in a stir.


    ��That is Bright Tiger King! A phenomenon descending from heaven, he broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��Our Myriad Demons Mountain has not seen a Saint Sovereign Heaven appear for tens of thousands of years already! His breakthrough is really the Myriad Demons Mountain��s great prosperous age!��


    ��With this, a new Saint Exalt has appeared! The Myriad Demons Mountain is going to experience a reshuffle!��


    �� ��


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven coming into being, this was a flourishing age for the entire Rainclear Continent.


    It had a huge impact on the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    All forces would be reshuffling.


    Several days later, the phenomenon dissipated.


    Everyone knew that the new Saint Exalt Bright Tiger had been born!


    However, it exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    On the second day after Bright Tiger corroborated his Dao, a phenomenon appeared again!


    A large yellow bull soared to the sky and mooed.


    The entire Myriad Demons Mountain was shocked once again!


    ��This �� This seems to be Commander Big Yellow under Saint Exalt Bull Demon, right? He actually broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven too?��


    ��Too crazy! In just a few short days, two great Saint Exalts actually appeared!��


    ��This is also too coincidental. How could they break through at the same time?��


    �� ��


    Ordinary true spirits naturally did not know about the matters between the upper echelon.


    So the impact of two great powerhouses breaking through at the same time was too fantastical to them.


    For several tens of thousands of years, there was not even one Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But within a few short days, two actually broke through at the same time!


    However, this was merely the beginning!


    Big Yellow��s breakthrough was not over yet when another phenomenon rose to the sky once more on Myriad Demons Mountain!


    This time, it was a giant elephant!


    Myriad beasts seethed with excitement!


    ��The third Saint Sovereign Heaven! Freaking hell, what on earth is going on? Could it be that the celestial phenomena suddenly changed drastically, we all have a chance to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    ��The heavens changed! The heavens have really changed!��


    ��Myriad Demons Mountain has been quiet for too long. This time, it will probably be entering an era of heroes vying for supremacy!��


    �� ��


    Myriad Elephant King��s breakthrough completely ignited the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    They were completely unable to understand why such an inconceivable thing would happen.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, that was a god-like existence, that was an invincible existence.


    How many powerful true spirits had this step stumped?


    But now, it actually became so worthless!


    A day later, two phenomenons rose to the sky again.


    This time, everyone was numb.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven really became cabbages!


    All the way until two days later, when the last phenomenon appeared, people had already become accustomed to it and it could no longer stir up the slightest wave.


    In less than ten days from start to end, six great Saint Sovereign Heavens broke through at the same time.


    The phenomenon in the sky was like a firework show that never went out; incomparably gorgeous.


    This spectacular scene was hard for many true spirits to see once all their lives.


    In the depths of the Myriad Demons Mountain, a shadow cut through the sky and fell on the mountain.


    What appeared was actually a large bird.


    An old ape leaning on a walking stick with one hand behind its back slowly walked in front of that shadow.


    That shadow said, ��Old Ape, what the hell is going on? When did Saint Sovereign Heaven become so worthless?��


    The old ape looked at the enormous projections above the sky, his gaze deep as he said, ��Saint Sovereign Heaven is the realm of prying into heaven. It��s incomparably difficult! Among a thousand half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, it��s hard for one to be able to break through too. This kind of phenomenon isn��t normal!��


    The large bird snorted coldly and said, ��Nonsense! Does this exalt not know that it isn��t normal? I came to find you to ask whether or not you know what happened!��


    The old ape glanced at him and said coolly, ��That stupid bull found a treasure!��


    The large bird was stunned and said baffledly, ��Found a treasure? You mean ����


    The old ape had an expression like he was looking at a fool and said coolly, ��Idiot! What treasure can let six true spirits break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven at the same time? I��m saying, that dumb bull came under the patronage of a big shot! There must be an unfathomable guy by his side!��


    The large bird trembled all over and said, ��Unfathomable guy! What kind of unfathomable guy can create six great Saint Sovereign Heavens at the same time? Could it �� Could it be ����


    He suddenly thought of something and became incomparably excited.


    Because that answer let him see hope too!


    He and the old ape were both already on the brink of life and death.


    The fourth Saint Sovereign Heaven Dao Tribulation that could come at any time, they would not be able to tide over no matter what!


    The old ape drew a deep breath and said with a nod, ��That��s right, grade five heavenly alchemist! I didn��t expect that a grade five heavenly alchemist would actually appear on this Rainclear Continent!��


    The large bird stomped its feet, radiating brilliant light as it said, ��This stupid cow actually concealed so deeply! No way! We can��t resign ourselves to doom! If a grade five heavenly alchemist appeared, then we��ll have hope of tiding over the fourth Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation! What are you still waiting for, old thing?��


    The old ape shot the large bird a fierce glare and said with a cold snort, ��How can this level of existence be slighted like this? We can��t make a move without being fully prepared! Just wait, the news will come very quickly!��

 Chapter 2719 - Who is ‘Master Ye’?

    Chapter 2719: Who is ��Master Ye��?


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Splendor Cloud Mountain��s Heavenly Strength King is here!��


    ��Feng Ji Mountain��s Jade Fox Fairy is here!��


    �� ��


    One powerful true spirit after another appeared on Bull Demon Mountain.


    After the six great Saint Sovereign Heavens emerged, Saint Exalt Bull Demon summoned all the powerhouses above Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum on Myriad Demons Mountain to gather at Bull Demon Mountain and hold a Myriad Spirits Summit!


    This Myriad Spirits Summit was an unprecedented grand occasion!


    However, different from the past was that the Myriad Spirits Summit this time was not jointly convened by Saint Exalt Bull Demon, Saint Exalt Giant Ape, as well as Saint Exalt Great Roc, three great Saint Sovereign.


    Instead, it was announced by Bull Demon Mountain!


    This was somewhat intriguing.


    After the six great Saint Sovereign Heavens broke through, some true spirits also came to their senses.


    The six great true spirits that broke through to Saint Exalt this time were actually all the half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens within Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s territory!


    Although Lord Saint Exalts did not care about worldly affairs; their status aloof. Actually, there were divisions of territory among themselves too.


    Even a fool would also know that the breakthrough this time was unusual!


    Especially those peak Jade Sovereign Heaven and half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, they paid even more attention to this.


    Because they also wanted to know just what was the secret to this breakthrough?


    Who did not want to step into Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    At this time, those half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens seated on the left-hand side also started whispering to each other.


    ��You guys, even Wild Lion that fool can break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. So why can��t this king?�� Heavenly Strength King said gloomily.


    By the side, Snow Wolf King said in a low voice, ��Hush! Heavenly Strength, you don��t want your life anymore? Wild Lion is a Lord Saint Exalt now. With his temper, if he heard it, you��ll have to die ten times over! It��s fine if you��re courting death yourself, but don��t drag us to it!��


    Heavenly Strength was filled with fear, only then coming to his senses. He hurriedly said, ��Apologies, apologies, this king still couldn��t quite get used to it in a short while! This king��s talent and strength are clearly not inferior to the six of them. Yet I keep failing to break through. I really can��t reconcile with this!��


    Surprise was surprise, but Heavenly Strength King��s words uttered what all of the half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens were thinking.


    The fellows who used to be similar in strength to them broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven suddenly. This sort of thing was indeed somewhat hard to accept.


    If it was one, that was still fine.


    After all, this sort of thing required a massive lucky chance in the first place.


    But six broke through all at once. They became somewhat unable to accept it.


    This kind of gap made them go crazy!


    But the more it was so, the more they scratched their heads, wanting to find the secret of the six people breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Since the six could break through, then it should also naturally be a cinch for them!


    ��Bright Tiger Mountain, Saint Exalt Bright Tiger is here!��


    Following this roar, everyone��s hearts immediately leaped up.


    Everyone looked towards the entrance and saw Saint Exalt Bright Tiger walking over valiantly and spiritedly.


    Feeling everyone��s eyes focusing on him, Bright Tiger was indescribably full of high spirits!


    The feeling of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was amazing!


    Walking past his peers of former days, he felt everyone��s complicated gazes and felt even more pleased.


    He no longer needed to seek Saint Sovereign Heaven out bitterly anymore!


    But his gaze swept across the seats of honor and there was only Big Yellow Bull alone.


    Bright Tiger went over and cupped his fists slightly as he said, ��Brother Big Yellow!��


    Big Yellow nodded slightly and said, ��You came? Sit!��


    But Bright Tiger did not sit, he smiled and said, ��I wonder where Master Ye is? Bright Tiger wants to go and pay respects to him first!��


    Hearing this, everyone felt baffled.


    ��Who is Master Ye?��


    ��The first thing Saint Exalt Bright Tiger did when he came over isn��t to pay respects to Saint Exalt Bull Demon, but it was to actually to pay respects to this Master Ye?��


    ��Never heard before that the Myriad Demons Mountain had such a person! Could it be that this Master Ye is actually even stronger than Saint Exalt Bull Demon?��


    �� ��


    Although Bright Tiger had stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven, in terms of strength, he was naturally significantly worse compared to Saint Exalt Bull Demon three people.


    So in everyone��s view, the first thing Bright Tiger had to do should be to pay respects to Saint Exalt Bull Demon three people.


    But who on earth was this Master Ye?


    But Big Yellow laughed and said, ��Huhu, forget about you, even this exalt hasn��t seen him in a long time too! But today��s true spirit summit, Master Ye should exit seclusion! At that time, it won��t be late for the few of you to pay respects.��


    Bright Tiger said with reverence and awe, ��So that��s how it is! Master Ye going in closed-seclusion, there must be a major move! Then Bright Tiger will quietly wait for him to leave seclusion!��


    Finished saying, Bright Tiger came to his seat and sat upright.


    But ��Master Ye�� this name started to be discussed heatedly by everyone.


    Very soon, Myriad Elephant King arrived too.


    After he greeted Big Yellow and Bright Tiger, the first thing he did was also to inquire about Ye Yuan��s whereabouts.


    The five of them had just exited seclusion not long and had not paid respects to Ye Yuan yet.


    So the first thing was naturally to thank Ye Yuan who bestowed upon them the lucky chance.


    After getting Big Yellow��s answer, Myriad Elephant King sat down idly too.


    But the name of ��Master Ye�� started to get discussed even more heatedly among all the true spirits.


    ��Master Ye again! Just what kind of person is this Master Ye?��


    ��The first thing that two great saint exalts did when they came here, is actually to look for this Master Ye!��


    ��The other three Lord Saint Exalts wouldn��t also want to meet Master Ye when they come over, right?��


    ��There��s something odd! Could it be that this Master Ye is a transcendent erudite? The breakthroughs of the six great saint exalts were all his work?��


    �� ��


    The smart ones already guessed some clues.


    This was not hard to guess!


    And following the arrival of Saint Exalt Wild Lion and the rest, it confirmed their guesses even more.


    As expected, the first thing they did after they came was similarly to pay respects to Master Ye!


    Hence, ��Master Ye�� became the most mysterious existence in everyone��s eyes.


    There were even some people who already guessed Ye Yuan��s heavenly alchemist identity.


    Of course, in their eyes, ��Master Ye�� was definitely a powerful grade five heavenly alchemist existence!


    Being able to create six great Saint Sovereign Heavens at the same time, this sort of astonishing means could only be accomplished by a legendary grade five heavenly alchemist!


    These half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven and grand completion Jade Sovereign heaven existences all started to become restless.


    They really wanted to know just what kind of god this legendary ��Master Ye�� was!


    ��Saint Exalt Giant Ape is here!��


    ��Saint Exalt Great Roc is here!��


    Hearing these two calls, everyone was shocked.


    They did not expect that these two actually came too!


    One had to know, the Myriad Spirits Summit this time was Saint Exalt Bull Demon acting on his own without consulting others!


    This was equivalent to challenging these two!


    Everyone guessed that these two people��s arrival was most likely to cause trouble!


    If this Myriad Spirits Summit succeeded, who would still take them, these two great Saint Exalts, seriously in the future?��


    This time, Big Yellow also got up to greet heartily, saying with a smile, ��Saint Exalt Giant Ape, Saint Exalt Great Roc, the two of you arriving really honors the humble Bull Demon Mountain with your presence!��


    Giant Ape leaned on the walking stick, smiling radiantly as he said, ��What��s Younger Brother saying? At present, if this Bull Demon Mountain is considered humble, then wouldn��t the two of our residences become ragged?��


    Saint Exalt Great Roc also smiled and said, ��I haven��t congratulated Younger Brother Big Yellow yet, for becoming our peer!��


    Big Yellow hurriedly smiled and said, ��I dare not, dare not! Two brothers are Big Yellow��s dear elder brothers!��


    This conversation made everyone stare in bewilderment.

 Chapter 2720 - Paying Respects to Master Ye!

    Chapter 2720: Paying Respects to Master Ye!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    No one expected that Saint Exalt Giant Ape and Saint Exalt Great Roc would actually be so polite.


    Big Yellow was these two people��s junior. Even if he became a Saint Exalt now, he still did not have the capital to be proud in front of the two of them.


    But they were courteous!


    When these two were talking, they completely put Big Yellow on the same level of footing as them.


    ��Huhu, the people have pretty much already arrived, why hasn��t Younger Brother Bull Demon shown himself yet?�� Saint Exalt Giant Ape said.


    His voice had yet to fade when a powerful aura arrived with a howl.


    The expressions of Giant Ape and Great Roc changed abruptly, looking at the arrival in shock.


    ��This old bull �� actually broke through!�� Great Roc said with a look of disbelief.


    Saint Exalt Giant Ape��s eyes were also glimmering as he said, ��Looks like this exalt��s guess was right!��


    ��Haha, old ape, damn bird, it��s still this exalt who took this step first!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon landed on the ground and looked at the two smugly as he said.


    The three people had fought for many years and had always been running neck to neck.


    Now, he took this step first out of the three, he naturally had the intention of showing off a little.


    Hearing this, the faces of the two great Saint Exalts became black as the bottom of a pot, but they did not dare to express anything.


    After Saint Sovereign Heaven, wanting to advance a step was seriously far too difficult.


    The three of them spent several tens of thousands of years and only reached peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven too.


    But now, Saint Exalt Bull Demon already broke through from lower Saint Sovereign Heaven to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven first!


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was already the well-deserving king of the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    Giant Ape and Great Roc also looked forward to the grade five heavenly alchemist behind Saint Exalt Bull Demon even more because of this.


    No matter how great a price they had to pay, they would also have to cozy up to this ��grade five heavenly alchemist��!


    ��Bull Demon, you don��t have to be so pleased with yourself! It isn��t that your talent surpasses the two of us. It��s just that you were lucky and encountered a grade five heavenly alchemist; that��s all! As long as this master is willing to take action, could it be that the two of us can��t break through?�� Great Roc said with a cold snort.


    ��Grade five heavenly alchemist?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon was taken aback and immediately, his face revealed a playful smile.


    These two guys did not know the inside story and actually thought that Ye Yuan was a grade five heavenly alchemist!


    However, it was not strange either. There were probably many grade five heavenly alchemists who could not even match up to Ye Yuan��s means!


    Seeing Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s expression, Saint Exalt Giant Ape sneered and said, ��Why? Do you take the two of us to be fools? Already at this point, do you still want to hoard it for yourself?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon laughed loudly and said, ��You two old things, even if I were to really hoard it for myself, what can you guys do to me? That��s right. It��s indeed not easy for this exalt to kill you guys. But, if you really piss this exalt off, you guys probably won��t be able to remain on Myriad Demons Mountain anymore, right? Could it be that you guys can still break through and come back to take revenge?��


    The words made the two great Saint Exalts very depressed.


    Although Saint Exalt Bull Demon broke through, it was not easy if he really wanted to kill the two of them.


    But, with Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s current strength, they would not be able to remain in the Myriad Demons Mountain if they wanted to.


    Seeing the two people��s deflated expressions, Saint Exalt Bull Demon was very pleased with himself.


    ��Heh, you guys rest assured, I, old bull, isn��t that kind of narrow-minded person! Without you two old things, this exalt will also find it a lot less fun. Younger Brother Ye is currently preparing to exit seclusion. He��ll come over right away! As for whether or not you can let him take action, it will depend on yourselves!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a laugh.


    Younger Brother?


    When Giant Ape two people heard this, they carried some doubt amidst their excitement.


    This old bull actually dared to address the other party as a younger brother?


    But Saint Exalt Bull Demon ignored the two people��s doubtfulness. Flicking his sleeves grandly, he said in a loud voice, ��I believe that everyone also knows that six Saint Exalts have broken through in succession within a few days on our Myriad Demons Mountain! Therefore, the arrangement of this Myriad Demons Mountain will naturally have to undergo a huge change. Convening everyone today, it��s to address this!��


    The words made everyone become nervous.


    The size of one��s territory was not just the manifestation of one��s status, there were many genuine benefits.


    Coming here today was clearly to break the original rules and reestablish new rules.


    This way, it would change everyone��s interests.


    It concerned each of their true spirit��s interests!


    Giant Ape two people wanted to say something but shut their mouths sensibly.


    Now, it was already not what they could order people to do.


    ��From today onwards, all Saint Exalts will no longer have any territory, only their own fiefdoms! All of the Myriad Demons Mountain��s territories will be distributed to those below Saint Sovereign Heaven!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s words immediately caused huge waves.


    Myriad Demons Mountain, the three great Saint Exalts occupied close to 70% of the territory.


    Now, they were actually going to take out all 70% of this territory for everyone!


    The expressions of Giant Ape and Great Roc two Saint Exalts were indescribably ugly.


    However, they also knew that Saint Exalt Bull Demon definitely still had something else to add on.


    This guy did not run a charity.


    Sure enough, Saint Exalt Bull Demon continued, ��From now on, the Myriad Demons Mountain will set up an All-Saint Temple. All saint exalts will belong to the All-Saint Temple! Those whose strengths reach half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven can enter the All-Saint Temple and become guest retainers. From now on, no matter which territory, you all have to hand over resources that are grade three and above to the All-Saint Temple, and the All-Saint Temple will distribute them uniformly.��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of all the true spirits changed.


    All-Saint Temple this move was too ruthless!


    This was equivalent to monopolizing all of the high-level resources!


    Rather, it was the saint exalts whose eyes suddenly lit up.


    This was tantamount to concentrating the resources of the entire Myriad Demons Mountain to support the few great saint exalts!


    This was absolutely a great thing for saint exalts!


    Many true spirits showed dissatisfied expressions.


    But in this jungle, whatever a Saint Exalt said, that was it, they were not allowed to refute it.


    Right at this time, a human figure suddenly appeared in everyone��s field of vision.


    ��Human! Why would there be a human here?��


    ��A lower Jade Sovereign Heaven actually barged into the true spirit summit, is he courting death?��


    �� ��


    This human was naturally the Ye Yuan who had just exited seclusion.


    These few days, his Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist had some insights again, so he went into closed-seclusion for a few days.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Saint Exalt Bull Demon smiled and said, ��Didn��t you guys want to meet the expert behind me? He��s already here!��


    Saint Exalt Great Roc was taken aback and said with a black face, ��Old bull, do you think that having broken through, you can toy with us? How can a mere lower Jade Sovereign Heaven possibly be a grade five heavenly alchemist?��


    Giant Ape also had an unfriendly expression as he said, ��Bull Demon, you��re going too far! Randomly finding a human to brush us off?��


    Jade Sovereign Heavens were powerhouses of a region in the Myriad Demons Mountain too.


    But they were nothing at all in the eyes of the two great saint exalts.


    So the first thing the two of them felt was that Saint Exalt Bull Demon was toying with them!


    But just as they flew into a thunderous rage, the six great saint exalts that just broke through left their seats in unison and dashed over toward Ye Yuan like the wind, scrambling to be the first.


    ��Newly ascended Saint Exalt Bright Tiger specially came to pay respects to Master Ye!��


    ��Newly ascended Saint Exalt Big Yellow specially came to pay respects to Master Ye!��


    �� ��


    The six great saint exalts surrounded Ye Yuan, directly bowing all the way down.


    That appearance was incomparably devout.


    This entire mountain of true spirit powerhouses, plus Giant Ape and Great Roc two saint exalts, were utterly stunned.

    Chapter 2721: Returning to Heavenly South!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What? He �� He��s Master Ye?��


    ��What a joke! A lower Jade Sovereign Heaven created six great saint exalts and even made Saint Exalt Bull Demon break through?��


    ��But, being able to make six great saint exalts so respectful, who else can it be if it isn��t him?��


    ��Your Father thought of a million possibilities, but the only thing that I didn��t think of is that what let six great saint exalts break through was actually a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven!��


    �� ��


    The actions of the six great saint exalts caused an uproar in the entire Myriad Spirits Summit.


    Prior to this, the outside world had many speculations.


    But no matter what, no one could have predicted that the initiator of all this was actually a lower Jade Sovereign heaven!


    Not saying that Jade Sovereign Heavens could not do it, but that Jade Sovereign Heaven to Saint Sovereign Heaven, this step in itself was already incredibly difficult.


    What right did he have to be able to let so many powerhouses break through?


    But the reactions of the six great saint exalts were also truly telling them that it was Ye Yuan!


    If it was a joke, then this joke would be too much!


    How noble was the status of a saint exalt powerhouse?


    Even if it was Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s order, they believed that it was impossible for the six great saint exalts to coordinate this play too.


    Giant Ape two people stared dumbfoundedly.


    While Saint Exalt Bull Demon laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, I knew that you guys would have this expression! Do you guys know that when this exalt saw Younger Brother Ye��s methods back then, my expression looked exactly like yours!��


    ��B-But how is this possible?�� Saint Exalt Giant Ape still did not dare to believe it as he said.


    ��Nothing is impossible! You all are simply unable to imagine Younger Brother Ye��s methods!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a smile.


    Over there, when Ye Yuan saw the six people, he smiled and said, ��All of you broke through. I��ve also fulfilled my promise back then!��


    Bright Tiger said in fear and trepidation, ��It was us who had eyes but couldn��t see, almost harming Master Ye��s life. Sinful, sinful!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Who can resist the lucky chance of Saint Sovereign Heaven? That wasn��t your fault.��


    Although the six people broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, their respect toward Ye Yuan grew even more.


    Firstly, Ye Yuan repaid evil with good. The quality of the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill that he gave them was extremely high without skimping out at all.


    Secondly, they already knew now that Saint Sovereign Heavens had to face the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    There were still many areas to rely on Ye Yuan in the future.


    This was also the reason why heavenly alchemists were respected by all.


    ��Younger Brother Ye came at the right time, this exalt will announce it together! This exalt will assume responsibility of the All-Saint Temple��s temple lord! Younger Brother Ye will be this All-Saint Temple��s honorary temple lord, all authority and interests being equal to this exalt!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon came down to personally receive Ye Yuan. Grabbing hold of his wrist, he pulled him to sit down beside him.


    Ye Yuan had a baffled look too. But it sounded pretty good.


    There was naturally no one who dared to have objections.


    The Myriad Spirits Summit ended. All the true spirits dispersed. Saint Exalt Giant Ape could not hold back anymore as well.


    ��Brother Ye, this exalt has prepared a small gift, please accept it.�� Giant Ape took out a spatial bracelet and handed it over to Ye Yuan with a smile.


    ��Brother Ye, inside here is virtually all of this exalt��s assets! If you��re interested in it, this exalt wants to request a heavenly pill from you!�� Great Roc was not willing to show weakness too as he said.


    These two have also put down blood capital in order to obtain Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill.


    Ye Yuan smiled and pushed the gifts back and said, ��Two saint exalts, this Ye doesn��t want your things!��


    When the two heard that, their expressions could not help changing drastically.


    ��Brother Ye, what this old bull can give you, we can also give you! Why do this?�� Saint Exalt Giant Ape said in puzzlement.


    His gift was prepared according to the standard of grade five heavenly alchemist.


    To Ye Yuan this Jade Sovereign Heaven, it definitely had sufficient appeal.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan actually did not even look at it!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I can help you all refine heavenly pills and I don��t want your gifts either. I just want you guys to owe me a favor! When I need your help, you all need to help me take action once!��


    Even a fool also knew that this favor was probably not easy to repay!


    However, no matter how difficult it was to repay, it was also better than dying under the Dao Tribulation!


    Therefore, the two did not hesitate in the slightest and agreed.


    After Giant Ape two people obtained Ye Yuan��s promise, they were not willing to stay a second longer and immediately took their leave and left.


    Time was important for one��s cultivation realm!


    ��Younger Brother Ye, what are your plans next?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon asked.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I plan on making a trip back to Heavenly South first. Then, I��ll set off for the Five Great Heavenly Regions.��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon nodded his head and said, ��Mn, whatever you need big brother to help with, feel free to speak up! Your business is big brother��s business!��


    He was not a fool. Ye Yuan rejected Giant Ape two people��s astronomical gifts and only exchanged for a favor.


    He must be shouldering a lot on him!


    Ye Yuan was not melodramatic either, saying with a smile, ��Big Brother rest assured. This younger brother won��t be courteous!��


    After spending a long time together, Ye Yuan more or less had some understanding of Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s disposition.


    Although he was powerful, his personality was straightforward and was not disagreeable; very easy to get along with.


    He showed great kindness to him, he naturally would not look on with folded arms.


    Bright Tiger opened his mouth and said, ��Since Master Ye wants to return to Heavenly South, the five of us will also go together! After all, the five of us have committed many evil deeds in Heavenly South. We can take this chance to go and make an apology to them this time!��


    Ye Yuan naturally had no reason to not allow this request.


    He had to give an explanation to the lives that died in vain in Heavenly South.


    After several days, Ye Yuan brought the five great saint exalts and set off for the road back to Heavenly South.


    �� ��


    In a deep mountain at the borders of Heavenly South, all of a sudden, an astonishing aura rose to the sky.


    The terrifying pressure made the birds and beasts scatter everywhere.


    Above the sky, a phenomenon descended from heaven. It was precisely the signs of having broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Half a month later, a figure rose to the sky and let out a wild laugh!


    That laughter shook until heaven and earth changed colors.


    ��Hahaha �� I, Meng Frostwind, have finally taken this step! This is Saint Sovereign Heaven! What a miraculous power! I feel that with a wave of my hand now. It��s Heavenly Dao! Bright Tiger, the five of you animals hunted this exalt down until there was no road to heaven and no gate into the earth! Today, this exalt stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven, I��ll definitely make you all pay a terrible price!��


    This powerhouse who broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was precisely the Heavenly South City Lord, Meng Frostwind, who used despicable means back then and scammed the five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    He consumed the Sacred Destiny Pill and experienced 50 years of bitter cultivation in closed-seclusion. Finally, he gained sudden enlightenment and stepped into his long cherished goal of Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Actually, he naturally knew about the five great half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens leading an army to bathe Heavenly South in blood.


    At that time, he had not found the place to enter closed-seclusion yet and was currently wandering around in the Land of Heavenly South.


    But he did not come forward. He let the Land of Heavenly South to have blood flow in rivers!


    According to his plans, after he broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he would find the five people again to take revenge!


    Meng Frostwind��s gaze looked in the direction of Heavenly South City and said in a solemn voice, ��50 years have passed. I don��t know how many people are still remaining in Heavenly South City! This exalt has become an exalted Saint Sovereign now. It won��t be considered too late to rally my forces and start afresh! I��ll go recapture the Land of Heavenly South first, and then march troops northward. I��ll let these guys have a taste of a bloodbath too!��


    Thinking up to here, he no longer remained, his figure leaping and disappearing into the horizon.

 Chapter 2722 - Flaunting Prowess!

    Chapter 2722: Flaunting Prowess!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heavenly South City Lord, Zhao Xun, pay respects to five Lord Saint Exalts!��


    Seeing the five great Saint Sovereign Heavens behind Ye Yuan, tumultuous waves stirred in Zhao Xun��s heart.


    Ye Yuan really did it!


    These were five great Saint Sovereign Heavens. This is the cultivation realm that everyone tried their utmost to achieve even in their sleep but could not attain!


    The present Heavenly South City, he was shouldering both the responsibility of city lord and hall master.


    ��Huhu, Younger Brother Zhao doesn��t need to be so polite. We came this time to apologize!�� Bright Tiger said with a smile.


    ��Yeah; 50 years ago, it was the few of us who had a few screws loose in our heads, to have done that sort of stupid thing!�� Saint Exalt Heavenly Rat said.


    ��We brought some gifts here this time to express our apology, hope that Younger Brother Zhao will forgive,�� Saint Exalt Myriad Elephant said.


    The five great Saint Sovereign Heavens repeatedly calling him as their younger brother made Zhao Xun��s head spin.


    Lord Saint Exalts were actually calling him as their younger brother!


    Furthermore, they actually came to apologize!


    What in the world happened?


    In reality, Zhao Xun and the rest all thought that Ye Yuan would not be able to come back.


    But now, not only did Ye Yuan come back, the five exalts�� attitudes were good until it made people feel somewhat overwhelmed.


    ��Ah! Lord Saint Exalts are too courteous. Here isn��t the place to chat, please enter the city to talk.��


    Zhao Xun did not dare to be neglectful, but he still showed enough courtesy.


    After all, they were five saint exalts!


    Being called brother by five saint exalts, Zhao Xun felt indescribably uncomfortable from head to toe.


    ��Master Ye, please!�� But the few people did not dare to go first, letting Ye Yuan go first.


    Zhao Xun��s eyeballs popped out.


    ��Third Hall Master is really too impressive! The five great saint exalts are actually so respectful towards him!��


    ��Heh, back then when the five kings attacked Heavenly Stratum, how full of high spirits were they. Now, they broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, but became very courteous!��


    ��Tsk tsk, Third Hall Master pacified the Thistle South Sea Region and subdued the Myriad Demons Mountain now! Our Heavenly South City has no worries anymore!��


    �� ��


    When the powerhouses in the city saw this scene, beyond the shock, each and every one of them had a sense of pride that arose spontaneously.


    Heavenly South had always been surviving between the crevices of the north and south, two major forces, living very oppressed.


    But ever since Ye Yuan��s arrival, everything changed.


    Ye Yuan made a trip to Thistle South Sea Region. The Thistle South Sea Region dispatched an envoy, expressing that they would never invade Heavenly South.


    Ye Yuan made a trip to the Myriad Demons Mountain, five saint exalts came in person to apologize!


    This Third Hall Master was really a god-like figure!


    After entering the city, there naturally could not dispense with some small talk.


    While talking, the five great saint exalts were all very humble, which also made Zhao Xun and the rest sighed endlessly.


    They knew that the five great saint exalts were looking at the account of Ye Yuan��s face!


    Thinking about it again now, Meng Frostwind really rejected what was under his nose to seek something far away!


    There was clearly an amazing figure right under his eyelids, but he used an extremely deplorable method to imprint himself in people��s impressions.


    Buzz!


    Suddenly, a terrifying aura suddenly descended, enveloping the entire Heavenly South City.


    ��Whoever��s the city lord in Heavenly South City now, this exalt is Meng Frostwind! Why haven��t you come to pay respects in haste?�� An earth-shaking voice reverberated throughout the entire Heavenly South City.


    It was actually Meng Frostwind who had arrived!


    Within City Lord Manor, everyone had looks of surprise on their faces.


    ��City Lord Meng he broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!�� Zhao Xun said in surprise.


    No matter what, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was not a trivial matter.


    Especially that this was the Land of Heavenly South��s first Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    But Wu Jian had a disdainful look as he said, ��Humph! This damn thing still has the face to come back! If not for him, how could my Land of Heavenly South be plunged into an abyss of suffering?��


    Song Tianyang also said, ��Back then, when blood flowed like rivers in Heavenly South, he behaved like a cowardly tortoise. Now that he broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he wants to come back and be the city lord! Heh, what a fine plan!��


    With regards to Meng Frostwind��s conduct, the present Heavenly South City was extremely disdainful.


    When Bright Tiger and the others. heard Meng Frostwind report his name, they were long already burning with fury in their hearts.


    ��This despicable villain is finally willing to show himself! Heh heh, he probably didn��t expect that the five of us broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven at the same time, right? Go, go out together and take care of this guy!�� Bright Tiger said in a great rage.


    The few people were just about to move, but heard Ye Yuan smile and say, ��No hurry. This Meng Frostwind came back to show off his prestige. How unpleasant would it be if we don��t let him enjoy himself to the fullest. Moreover, if you all go out like this, it��s very easy to scare him away!��


    The moment Bright Tiger and the rest heard, they could not help secretly nodding, thinking to themselves that it was still Ye Yuan who was meticulous.


    Fighting one-versus-five seemed to be overwhelming, but rushing over like this, it was very easy to scare Meng Frostwind away.


    If a Saint Sovereign Heaven wanted to run, it would really not be easy to kill.


    But if they suddenly pulled an unusual move and surrounded him, it would not be that easy if Meng Frostwind wanted to run.


    ��Heh heh, it��s still Master Ye who��s impressive!�� Saint Exalt Heavenly Rat gave a thumbs up as he said.


    Ye Yuan said to Zhao Xun, ��Come, let��s go meet this City Lord!��


    Zhao Xun nodded slightly and followed Ye Yuan out of the door.


    Stepping up into the air, Ye Yuan saw a middle-aged man in blue robes, both hands behind his back and eyes turned to the sky, an appearance as if nobody on earth could beat him.


    This was still his first time seeing Meng Frostwind. The first impression that he gave Ye Yuan was that of a villain intoxicated by success.


    Maybe he was not like this in the past, but now, it was indeed how he looked like.


    Meng Frostwind clearly noticed the two people as well, his gaze turned sullen and he said, ��Mn? Zhao Xun, I didn��t expect that you actually broke through! Looks like Heavenly South City��s person in charge now is you? However, why haven��t you guys offered greetings when you see this exalt?��


    Talking toward the back, Meng Frostwind��s two eyes glared, a powerful pressure hitting them head-on.


    Zhao Xun gave a cold snort and said, ��Meng Frostwind, you still have the face to come back! Do you know that 50 years ago, the entire Land of Heavenly South was almost plunged into an abyss of suffering because of you?��


    Meng Frostwind did not care in the slightest and said coolly, ��A mere group of ants, if they died, they died. What��s the big deal? Could it be that a bunch of ants is more important than this exalt breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven? Moreover, isn��t this Heavenly South City �� perfectly fine?��


    In reality, when Meng Frostwind descended upon Heavenly South City, he was quite surprised too.


    Heavenly South City was actually completely intact!


    Waves of powerful auras came from the city, it seemed like the losses were not too big!


    Back then, myriad spirits were in a mighty contingent. He had seen before that power with his own eyes.


    It actually failed to destroy Heavenly South City?


    However, no matter what, it was for the best that it was not destroyed.


    It was not to the extent of making him take over a broken-down stall.


    ��You! You��re really brazen!�� Seeing that Meng Frostwind did not have the slightest remorse, Zhao Xun could not help but get angry.


    Meng Frostwind said coolly, ��Those five brutes are powerful. This exalt wasn��t their match back then. But now, this exalt has already broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. I��m the true ruler of this Land of Heavenly South! It��s also time to find them to seek revenge! Oh, right, who��s this boy beside you? He looks a little unfamiliar.��


    Zhao Xun said in a solemn voice, ��He��s called Ye Yuan! You should have heard of him before!��


    Meng Frostwind��s brows furrowed slightly. Seemingly remembering something, he smiled and said, ��So, it��s that alchemy genius! This exalt was in a hurry to enter the mystic realm back then and didn��t have the chance to meet you. Not bad, not bad. You��ll follow this exalt in the future!��


    When Zhao Xun heard that, he could not help rolling his eyes.


    How had he never discovered how cocky this guy was in the past?

 Chapter 2723 - Lousy Sacred Destiny Pill!

    Chapter 2723: Lousy Sacred Destiny Pill!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Follow you?


    He had five great saint exalts following behind him!


    Where did you get the courage to dare call such an existence to follow you?


    One had to know, there were only three great saint exalts on the entire Myriad Demons Mountain before this!


    Truly, the ignorant were fearless!


    Ye Yuan did not get angry, but he looked at Meng Frostwind and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Have me follow you? I wonder what benefits can you give me?��


    Meng Frostwind flicked his sleeves grandly and said coolly, ��I heard that your strength in refining heavenly pills. Even Zhao Xun admires you greatly. Since that��s the case, you can be this Heavenly South Pill Hall��s hall master then!��


    Meng Frostwind even thought that Ye Yuan would be moved, having given him an irresistible condition.


    Zhao Xun letting loose a torrent of abuse towards him earlier, already made him give rise to feelings of detest.


    If it were before, he would have tolerated it.


    But now, he was revered as a Saint Exalt. Why would he care about a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Just a Heavenly South Pill Hall��s hall master? Not enough!��


    Meng Frostwind sneered and said, ��Hah, what high-sounding sentiments! Then you tell me, what do you want?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I want you to kneel down and admit your fault in front of this entire city��s martial artists!��


    Meng Frostwind��s expression turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, you dare to play with this exalt? Do you know that this exalt is presently this Land of Heavenly South��s only Saint Sovereign Heaven! Everyone��s life and death are all at one thought of this exalt!��


    Ye Yuan did not care at all and said with a faint smile, ��Playing? I don��t have this spare time to play with you, this shameless thing.��


    Meng Frostwind was enraged when he heard that and said, ��Boy, you��re really terrific, to actually dare provoke a Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��Is Saint Sovereign Heaven very impressive?��


    ��Then you take a look if Saint Sovereign is really very impressive or not!��


    Meng Frostwind shouted coldly, the aura of Saint Sovereign Heaven suddenly releasing. The entire Heavenly South City felt the terrifying pressure.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven was too terrifying!


    In the midst of this violent storm, even Zhao Xun this half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven seemed unbelievably weak too.


    ��Hahaha, Saint Sovereign Heaven, how impressive! This exalt is really scared!�� Amidst a loud laughter, Saint Exalt Bright Tiger appeared.


    Meng Frostwind��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� You broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven too? This �� This isn��t possible!��


    ��Tsk tsk, Saint Sovereign Heaven, really amazing! Then it looks like this exalt is very amazing too!�� With a playful smile, Saint Exalt Myriad Elephant showed himself too.


    And the direction in which he appeared was at an angle with Saint Exalt Bright Tiger, blocking half of Meng Frostwind��s retreat routes.


    Seeing Saint Exalt Myriad Elephant, Meng Frostwind��s heart twitched heavily!


    ��You �� You broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven too?��


    ��Meng Frostwind, you seem very surprised! Isn��t it just breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven? Look how it got you all excited,�� Saint Exalt Heavenly Rat appeared and said.


    Meng Frostwind felt that his breathing became somewhat unsmooth.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    He only snatched away the lucky chance from these few people after going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties, corroborating his Dao and becoming a Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But who knew that 50 years of closed-seclusion, after exiting seclusion, everything changed!


    He thought that he could trample on these five great true spirits after leaving seclusion.


    But who would have expected that three out of the five broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    ��Tsk tsk, a half-baked Saint Sovereign Heaven like you actually wants to make Master Ye follow you too, your head was kicked by a donkey, right? Uh �� sorry about that, I insulted the donkey,�� Saint Exalt Wild Lion said disdainfully.


    Following Saint Exalt Wild Lion and Saint Exalt Giant Deer showing themselves, Meng Frostwind��s eyeballs popped out.


    ��You �� You all �� You all actually broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?�� Meng Frostwind felt that this world was too terrifying.


    Five great true spirits all broke through, then what did the lucky chance that he racked his brains to get count for?


    Meng Frostwind had a feeling of incredibly bad luck now.


    Saint Exalt Bright Tiger looked at Meng Frostwind and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��You seem very surprised? When you snatched away the Sacred Destiny Pill back then, you didn��t expect that there would be today, right? Didn��t you say just now that you wanted to find the five of us to take revenge? Now, we��ll give you this chance.��


    The five of them had already formed an encirclement.


    Even if the movement technique of a Saint Sovereign Heaven was extremely fast, it was also impossible to escape.


    Meng Frostwind was filled with fear, only then, realizing that he was in danger.


    Just now, he was really too surprised!


    When did Saint Sovereign Heavens become cabbages?


    ��How on earth �� did you all achieve it?�� Meng Frostwind could not figure out after racking his brains and said.


    Bright Tiger laughed loudly and pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��You idiot, you only cared about plotting against us, but didn��t know that the real god was right under your eyelids! Master Ye��s Alchemy Dao has the ability to access heaven and penetrate the earth! The five of us broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven all thanks to him. What does a mere Sacred Destiny Pill count for?��


    ��It��s you? Impossible!�� Meng Frostwind��s entire body trembled, and he looked toward Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    These five great Saint Sovereign Heavens were actually created by a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven?


    This �� How was this possible?


    If a grade four heavenly alchemist could create Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, then Saint Sovereign Heavens would be all over the place!


    Bright Tiger smiled and said, ��Whether to believe it or not, it��s up to you. But right now, we��ll beat you down first before talking! Brothers, do it!��


    ��Right on!�� Wild Lion few people rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, each and every one glaring like ravening tigers.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The five people did not hesitate in the slightest, making a move at virtually the same time.


    Such power, when had the powerhouses in the city seen it before?


    That terrifying undulation was akin to gorgeous fireworks in the sky, being beautiful to the extreme.


    Meng Frostwind��s expression changed drastically and could only respond passively.


    His retreat routes were all blocked off, he could only teeter on his feet.


    But the infuriating thing was that he discovered that he did not have the strength to fight back at all in front of these five people.


    ��Hang on, why is this guy so weak? Could it be that he��s hiding his strength?�� Wild Lion frowned and said.


    Exchanging blows earlier, he discovered that Meng Frostwind��s strength was far worse than his!


    One had to know, when they were at half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, Meng Frostwind��s strength was comparable to that of Bright Tiger King.


    Otherwise, how could the five of them find him to go together?


    But having likewise broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he discovered that his opponent��s strength was unbelievably weak.


    At most, he only had 70% of his strength.


    Strange!


    ��Hide my ass! How can a mere Sacred Destiny Pill be mentioned in the same breath with Master Ye��s Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill? When we broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, we practically excavated all the potential in our bodies. That lousy Sacred Destiny Pill was only third or fourth grade. So how can it consolidate the cultivation realm and consolidate the foundation?�� Bright Tiger scolded with a smile.


    Saint Exalt Wild Lion came to a sudden realization and said, ��Ah! So that��s how it is! This guy really lost a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed! I reckon that I can take him down by myself! Fool! An idiot! Hahaha ����


    Even breakthroughs were different too.


    Otherwise, how could the quality of medicinal pills demonstrate a difference?


    A true grade heavenly pill, the medicinal effect was often beyond comprehension. It was not what a Sacred Destiny Pill could compare to at all.


    Five great saint exalts taking action at the same time, Meng Frostwind was beaten until he vomited blood repeatedly.


    He only had the power of parrying; so how could he have the strength to fight back?


    If not for the five great saint exalts showing mercy, he would have long already kicked the bucket.


    He did everything possible to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, but he was crippled without even getting to perform a posturing.


    ��Alright, that��s about enough. Leave him with his wretched life.. I want him to kneel down and apologize to all the martial artists in the city!�� Ye Yuan said loudly.

 Chapter 2724 - You Can’t Harness It!

    Chapter 2724: You Can��t Harness It!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    On the flat road, one human and one bull were currently advancing, seemingly slow, but in reality, they were fast.


    The bull was Big Yellow.


    The human was naturally Ye Yuan.


    When Ye Yuan left the mountain, Big Yellow took the initiative to ask to follow and serve as a mount for Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, Big Yellow already determined that Ye Yuan was not someone who belonged in a shallow pond. That was why he was willing to serve as his mount.


    After all, being able to create six great Saint Sovereign Heavens at the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven, he did not even dare to imagine such a thing before.


    Then what if Ye Yuan broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future?


    One had to know, Saint Sovereign Heaven was not the end outcome.


    On the contrary, Saint Sovereign Heaven was the road to destruction instead!


    Not advancing would be death!


    With regards to this, Saint Exalt Bull Demon naturally did not have objections.


    With Big Yellow breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, his status was already different from before.


    Furthermore, he also needed Big Yellow to maintain the relationship with Ye Yuan.


    Meng Frostwind did not die. He had his cultivation crippled and was tied up in the center of Heavenly South City, being spat on and cursed by everyone.


    Afterward, Saint Exalt Bright Tiger announced to Heavenly South City on behalf of the All-Saint Temple that they would never invade!


    Ever since then, Ye Yuan had actually already become the uncrowned king of Heavenly South City.


    Regardless of whether it was Zhao Xun or the City Lord Manor, they were extremely respectful toward Ye Yuan.


    One could say that he completely eradicated the two diseases in Heavenly South��s heart with his power alone.


    The current Ye Yuan already arrived at True Yang Heavenly Domain, ahead lied Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    Returning to the Five Great Heavenly Regions, Ye Yuan��s plan was to make a trip back to the Heavenspan World first, and then to help Yue Mengli they all reach Heavenly Stratum.


    Then he would learn more about the Pill Alliance��s exact situation and enact revenge!


    It had already been a few days since he returned to Five Great Heavenly Regions. Ye Yuan heard rumors, but also felt the power of the present Pill Alliance!


    The present Five Great Heavenly Regions had already fallen completely under the control of the Pill Alliance.


    They had also walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes!


    Five Great Heavenly Regions, no matter how brilliant the heavenly sect in the past, they all submitted at the feet of the Pill Alliance now.


    The current Pill Alliance controlled all of the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� alchemy resources.


    Regardless of whether it was heavenly alchemist or heavenly medicine, it was virtually all under the control of the Pill Alliance.


    For those former major sects, the Pill Alliance sent powerful heavenly alchemists to hold down the fort, naming them first seats!


    The status of first seats was even above the sect masters.


    It was actually equivalent to making the sect master a figurehead.


    Whichever sect was insubordinate would be directly destroyed!


    During these over a hundred years, there had already been several disobedient sects that had completely disappeared.


    In the course of time, no one dared to resist anymore as well.


    Of course, these were just the general assumptions that Ye Yuan made.


    He understood that the real game of the Five Great Heavenly Regions was still between the Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    This level of game was not what the average person could access.


    Suddenly, a sloppy taoist dressed in gray taoist robes rode on a giant eagle and whizzed past Ye Yuan��s head.


    But very soon, he turned back and landed in front of Ye Yuan.


    The sloppy taoist said with a sincere look, ��Little Brother, I��ll use my Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle to exchange for your large yellow bull, alright?��


    This Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle��s aura was very powerful. It was actually at the realm of upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    For this sloppy taoist to be able to subdue this level of true spirit, his strength was naturally extraordinary.


    It was just that he used a Jade Sovereign Heaven eagle to exchange for a Saint Sovereign Heaven bull. It was really blind as hell.


    Of course, it was also that Big Yellow restrained his aura, looking just like an ordinary large yellow bull. The sloppy taoist could not see through the actual situation at all.


    But he swept with his divine sense earlier and discovered that this large yellow bull seemed to be very extraordinary. That was why he had this thought.


    When the Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle heard the sloppy taoist��s words, it seemed to be very displeased and cried a few times.


    Ye Yuan did not even look at the sloppy taoist and said coolly, ��Not exchanging.��


    The sloppy taoist was not annoyed either, saying with a chuckle, ��I, Taoist Wu Fang, is most proficient in beast taming techniques. Little Brother, this large yellow bull is a wanton waste of God��s good gifts by following you! You using an ordinary large yellow bull to exchange for an upper Jade Sovereign heaven Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle is a big win!��


    Only then did Ye Yuan give him a glance and said lightly, ��You can��t control him.��


    Taoist Wu Fang laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Little Brother, I��m not bragging, there really aren��t more than a few true spirits on this Rainclear Continent that I can��t control!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, ��Oh, then you give it a try?��


    Taoist Wu Fang had a confident look as he said, ��Haha, Little Brother, I��ll let you broaden your horizons today.��


    Ye Yuan got off the bull. Taoist Wu Fang had the intention of showing off too; he then recited a spell. A powerful origin divinity power suddenly bloomed.


    Ye Yuan was a little surprised too. He did not expect that he could actually see such a powerful soul technique here.


    But this soul technique seemed to specifically target true spirits.


    Of course, this soul technique was not worth mentioning at all in front of Ye Yuan��s Divine Emergence.


    ��Spirit Controlling Art, go!��


    Taoist Wu Fang roared loudly, firing out streams of origin divinity power, sinking into Big Yellow��s sea of consciousness.


    In the beginning, Big Yellow still had his eyes open.


    Taoist Wu Fang bustling around for the greater part of the day actually made Big Yellow a little sleepy.


    Ye Yuan could feel that this Spirit Controlling Art was really quite powerful.


    If it were an ordinary true spirit, as long as its origin divinity was not as powerful as Taoist Wu Fang��s, even if its strength was stronger than him, it would probably succumb too.


    But Big Yellow was Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    The origin divinity of a Saint Sovereign Heaven was completely not what a Jade Sovereign Heaven could imagine after experiencing the baptism of the power of Great Dao.


    It was just that Taoist Wu Fang did not know at all. When he saw Big Yellow shut his eyes, it was exactly the same as when subduing other true spirits. He could not help being overjoyed.


    What made him even happier was that this large yellow bull actually did not resist at all.


    ��Heh heh, Little Brother, saw that?��


    Taoist Wu Fang was pleased with himself for a while and was about to go forward and pull Big Yellow.


    The moment his hand touched Big Yellow��s horn, it startled Big Yellow awake at once.


    Hence, Big Yellow��s bull hooves directly kicked onto Taoist Wu Fang��s chest.


    Taoist Wu Fang only felt as if a large mountain had smashed against his chest. Spurting a mouthful of fresh blood, he flew a mile away.


    It was also that Big Yellow only employed the power of his physical body. Otherwise, this kick could have claimed his life.


    When Ye Yuan saw it, he could not help laughing and said, ��I said that you can��t control him.��


    Taoist Wu Fang struggled to his feet. Looking at Big Yellow with a horrified expression, he said, ��This �� How is this possible? There��s actually a true spirit that can block my Spirit Controlling Art!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Alright, Big Yellow is well-behaved, but you shouldn��t bully a well-behaved bull. Otherwise, the consequences will be very severe. Let��s go.��


    Taoist Wu Fang��s entire body trembled and he hurriedly mounted the Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle and kept pace with Ye Yuan.


    ��Little Brother, where did you get this large yellow bull?�� Taoist Wu Fang asked while vomiting blood.


    ��Myriad Demons Mountain,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Taoist Wu Fang��s pupils constricted and he said in surprise, ��Little Brother, being able to block my Spirit Controlling Art, this large yellow bull is definitely of a chaos aberrant! In the future, its accomplishments will be immeasurable!��


    Taoist Wu Fang also could not be blamed for not thinking of it. How many Saint Sovereign Heavens were there on the entire Rainclear Continent?


    He definitely could not imagine that this ordinary large yellow bull in front of him was actually a Saint Exalt!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I don��t need you to tell me this.��


    ��Little Brother, going to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect too, right? Why don��t we go together?�� Taoist Wu Fang said.


    Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and said, ��How did you know?��

 Chapter 2725 - Big Yellow, Step on Him!

    Chapter 2725: Big Yellow, Step on Him!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You don��t know?�� This time, it was Taoist Wu Fang��s turn to be surprised.


    ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect widely distributed hero invitations, inviting experts at Jade Sovereign Heaven and above to explore a mystic realm together. Now, there are numerous experts currently heading to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��What kind of mystic realm is it that even the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect can��t handle?��


    Taoist Wu Fang shook his head and said, ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect kept a tight lid on it. We currently don��t know the situation yet. But they let out rumors that there might be a grandmist treasure coming into being this time. Furthermore, there��s even the lucky chance to become a saint!��


    ��So that��s how it is!��


    Regardless of whether it was a grandmist treasure or the lucky chance to become a saint, it was very attractive to Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    This kind of precious treasure, most likely the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect would not be able to swallow it by themselves too.


    Although the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had flourished for a period of time, they had already declined now.


    Of course, these two things did not have the slightest appeal to Ye Yuan.


    This sloppy taoist was extremely interested in Big Yellow. Hence, he pestered Ye Yuan and insisted on going together.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent. Along the way, he also learned a lot of useful information from the sloppy taoist��s mouth.


    Such as, even though the Pill Alliance had united the Five Great Heavenly Regions now, there were also many discordant forces opposing it.


    These forces hid in the dark, making feints to divert attention from where the real attack was going to strike, their whereabouts being erratic. The Pill Alliance had a big headache too.


    The most famous among them was an organization called Blood Alliance.


    This organization often hunted down some of the Pill Alliance��s upper echelon and hijacked the resources of the Pill Alliance.


    Coming and leaving without a shadow, it was extremely different to deal with.


    At the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, it was the Jade Sovereign Elder, Zong Rui, who received the two of them.


    When Zong Rui saw the sloppy taoist, he immediately had a warm and cordial appearance.


    As for the Ye Yuan who was by the side, he was directly ignored.


    Among the Jade Sovereign Heavens who came this time, there was a very large part of them that were like Ye Yuan; lower Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    This bit of strength and also an itinerant cultivator, they naturally would not take them seriously.


    ��Haha, didn��t expect that Brother Wu Fang actually came! With you around, that��s fighting one-against-ten!�� Zong Rui said with a loud laugh.


    Taoist Wu Fang gave Ye Yuan a glance and said smugly, ��Younger Brother Zong, you��re too kind!��


    Zong Rui waved his hand and said, ��This isn��t an exaggeration! In this True Yang Heavenly Domain, who doesn��t know this one sentence: rather provoke King Yama than provoke Wu Fang? Brother Wu Fang��s spirit controlling technique is virtually invincible under Saint Sovereign Heaven! Eh, could this be your disciple?��


    Taoist Wu Fang smiled and said, ��No, no, just someone engaged in the same pursuit that I met on the way. He and I are both adept in spirit controlling techniques and can get along.��


    ��Oh, so that��s how it is!�� Zong Rui revealed a look of sudden realization and immediately lost interest in Ye Yuan.


    Take a look at Taoist Wu Fang��s Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle, then look at the ordinary large yellow bull that Ye Yuan was riding, the disparity was too huge.


    It seemed like it was another person that wanted to fish in troubled waters.


    Zong Rui was contemptuous in his heart.


    With regards to Zong Rui��s contempt, Ye Yuan naturally saw it clearly. However, he could not be bothered to explain anything either.


    Would I go around saying that Big Yellow was Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Zong Rui led the two and arrived at the top of a mountain peak. This place was where foreign powerhouses stayed.


    Jade Sovereign Heavens, even if it was a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven, they were powerhouses of an area too and naturally could not be slighted.


    On top of the mountain, many powerhouses were already staying and it was very lively.


    These powerhouses even set up a marketplace on the mountain, exchanging for what one had and what the others did not.


    ��Heh, here comes another one who wants to fish in troubled waters, and it��s even an ascender!�� Ye Yuan just climbed the mountain and there was a harsh voice that transmitted over.


    Among those who came to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, the majority were native powerhouses. There were very few ascenders.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s appearance was very conspicuous.


    Actually, Taoist Wu Fang was an ascender too. However, his spirit controlling technique was very famous even in the entire True Yang Heavenly Domain. There was naturally no one that dared to find trouble with him.


    But Ye Yuan was different.


    In reality, there were some who were ascenders among the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses that came this time too.


    But those who dared to come were all extremely powerful people.


    Such as Taoist Wu Fang.


    One should not look at how he got trampled by Big Yellow. His strength was actually really strong.


    Taoist Wu Fang had a bag of holding, the bag of holding contained ten true spirits!


    There were even two that were powerful grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven existences among them.


    Taoist Wu Fang��s own combat power was secondary. But these ten great true spirits were sufficient to let him sweep away all in the same rank.


    Pray tell, how many people could face ten Jade Sovereign Heaven true spirits at the same time?


    It was also because of this that Zong Rui viewed him in a different light.


    When this harsh voice came over, there was immediately a group of people gathered around.


    The leader was a youth in blue robes who pointed right at Ye Yuan��s nose and said, ��Punk, if you��re sensible, hurry up and get down the mountain! You��ll lose your life at any time here!��


    This blue-robed youth was quite strong, being already middle Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Judging from his appearance, he had quite the prestige among this group of people.


    As for Zong Rui, he did not have the intention of taking action, an attitude of being happy to see it happen.


    He was the host and could not chase people away. But, if someone made a move, he naturally did not mind it.


    ��Heard that? Elder Wei Yu is asking you to get lost, didn��t hear?��


    ��Brat, with your bit of strength, you don��t have the qualifications to enter the mystic realm and fish in troubled waters, understood?��


    ��You think that by riding a large yellow bull, you can become Brother Wu Fang? Blindly copying others and making yourself look foolish!��


    �� ��


    The moment Wei Yu opened his mouth, many people immediately concurred.


    There were even several upper Jade Sovereign Heavens among them.


    It could be seen how high Wei Yu��s status was.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and asked curiously, ��Who��s Wei Yu? Is he very amazing?��


    ��Hahaha, he doesn��t even recognize Elder Wei Yu and this punk dares to come up to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect!�� Someone immediately roared with laughter.


    Seeing Ye Yuan being targeted, Taoist Wu Fang smiled and said, ��Brother Ye, Wei Yu is the number one genius of the True Yang Heavenly Domain��s number one heavenly sect, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect! Don��t look at how he��s only middle Jade Sovereign Heaven; his strength virtually rivals grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven! He��s also reputed to be the young genius with the highest hope of breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan gave an ��oh��, expressing his understanding.


    This Wei Yu��s status was somewhat similar to Luo Yunqing��s in the Seven-star Heavenly Sect.


    But the current Luo Yunqing, his strength had likely surpassed Wei Yu long ago.


    ��Heh, Brother Ye, if you give Big Yellow to me, not only will I give you the Purplewind Black-Pupiled Eagle, I��ll even help you resolve your current predicament, alright?�� Taoist Wu Fang took advantage of the situation and said.


    The moment he spoke up, everyone��s faces changed.


    Taoist Wu Fang��s name was no joke.


    Wei Yu��s expression turned sullen and he said in a cold voice, ��Brother Wu Fang, do you want to become enemies with my Seven-star Heavenly Sect?��


    Taoist Wu Fang chuckled and said, ��I don��t want to be an enemy of the Seven-star Heavenly Sect. But this old taoist likes this large yellow bull even more! How about it, Brother Ye?��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said lightly, ��No need. Big Yellow, come on.��


    Ye Yuan pulled Big Yellow and was about to pass through the crowd.


    Wei Yu��s expression turned dark and he said in a solemn voice, ��Refusing face when it��s given! Die for me!��


    Done talking, Wei Yu drew his sword fiercely, the speed unimaginably quick.


    ��Big Yellow, step on him!�� Ye Yuan did not care in the slightest and said coolly.


    No need for Ye Yuan to order, Big Yellow already unleashed his hoof.


    Wei Yu was fast, but Big Yellow was faster.


    This hoof avoided the slash unbelievably brilliantly and directly kicked onto Wei Yu��s face.

 Chapter 2726 - Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower!

    Chapter 2726: Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Wei Yu only felt his head spin, his eyes full of stars.


    When he got to his feet, there was shockingly a hoof print on his face, looking extremely garish.


    When many people saw this scene, they all could not resist laughing.


    But at the same time, they were shocked by Big Yellow��s power.


    There was clearly no divine essence fluctuation, but he could knock Wei Yu away with a kick. This was not what ordinary true spirits could do.


    And Big Yellow truly looked like an unbelievably ordinary large yellow bull.


    ��Heh, you all think that what I, old taoist, takes fancy on, can be ordinary stuff? This large yellow bull is a chaos aberrant. Every movement and action carries rule undulations. With some slight training, stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future isn��t impossible either! It��s just that, landed in this brat��s hands is really a bright pearl being cast into darkness!:


    Taoist Wu Fang showed off while shaking his head and sighing.


    It was just that he did not know that Big Yellow was not some chaos aberrant at all, but a genuine Saint Exalt true spirit!


    If not for him deliberately hiding his strength, that kick earlier would have directly burst Wei Yu��s head.


    Wei Yu got to his feet and shook his head hard, only then recovering some lucidity.


    ��Damn punk, to actually dare provoke my Seven-star Heavenly Sect! Everyone, attack together, as long as you kill this boy, I, Wei Yu, owe him a favor!�� Wei Yu glared at Ye Yuan and bellowed.


    The moment this was said, everyone was moved.


    Wei Yu had virtually already locked-in the next Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s sect master.


    His favor was rather valuable!


    Hence, they could not resist taking action.


    The dozen over middle and upper Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present, the commotion could be seen at a glance.


    But Ye Yuan still instructed very calmly, ��Big Yellow, step on them.��


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Big Yellow kicked his hooves like lightning, each move hitting its mark.


    In a few breaths, each person��s face had a large ox hoof imprinted on it.


    Of course, Wei Yu��s face had another one imprinted on it.


    While Zong Rui had a shocked face, instantly having a feeling of having his face slapped.


    He was previously still ridiculing that Ye Yuan was imitating others and losing his own individuality.


    But who knew that this unassuming large yellow bull was actually so formidable.


    More than ten Jade Sovereign Heavens were taken care of by him with two to three kicks.


    ��Big Yellow, come on.�� Ye Yuan ignored everyone��s shocked gazes, pulling Big Yellow and slowly leaving.


    While Taoist Wu Fang��s two eyes emitted light.


    He liked this Big Yellow more and more.


    Seeing Big Yellow, he currently felt that those true spirits in his bag of holding were simply a bunch of trash!


    Wei Yu struggled to his feet, wanting to stabilize his figure.


    In the end, his body swayed and he fell down again.


    He shouted, ��Punk, what capability is it to rely on your mount that��s powerful? If you have the guts, fight with me yourself!��


    Ye Yuan turned his head and said coolly, ��Oh, is that so? Why don��t you say this to Taoist Wu Fang?��


    When Wei Yu heard that, he could not help choking.


    Taoist Wu Fang would never make a move himself when he fought and killed people.


    But no one dared to say that he was no good.


    Wei Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Punk, if you have the capability, don��t run! We��ll settle this score again!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Alright, I��ll wait for you.��


    Taking two steps, Ye Yuan��s footsteps suddenly stopped.


    His gaze looked towards a stall in the marketplace.


    ��Heh, Big Yellow, your luck is pretty good! Didn��t expect to actually encounter a stalk of Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower here!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Big Yellow��s entire body trembled, his bull eyes going wide and his entire body trembling excitedly.


    He did not know what Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower was, but he knew that since Ye Yuan said so, then it must be a heavenly pill suitable for him!


    Sure enough, following Master Ye would have meat to eat!


    No, wait, it was pills to eat!


    The stall owner was a geezer. Seeing Ye Yuan lead Big Yellow over, he could not help sizing Ye Yuan up very interestedly.


    This small-scale marketplace was on the road that must be passed through when going up or down the mountain.


    Therefore, that was why there would be so many people here.


    Just now, when Big Yellow had a grand display of invincible might, the geezer naturally saw it too.


    ��Fellow Daoist, wonder how you��re selling this Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Before the geezer could speak, Wei Yu already arrived next to him and shouted, ��Shi Yue, I��m buying this Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower!��


    Ye Yuan frowned, already having killing intent aroused.


    He came to Jadetrue Heavenly Sect for other objectives, so he did not want to be conspicuous.


    However, this Wei Yu provoked him time and again, did he really think that he did not dare to kill people?


    Shi Yue said coolly, ��Only exchanging, not selling!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��What manner of exchange?��


    Shi Yue said, ��One Four Qi Pill!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower exchange for a heavenly imperial pill, it��s demanding too exorbitant a price, right?��


    Shi Yue smiled and said, ��What��s rare is expensive!��


    Wei Yu laughed loudly and said, ��Where did this country bumpkin come from? He��s probably never even seen before a Four Qi Pill, right? Shi Yue, I want this Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower, it just so happens that I have a Four Qi Pill on me!��


    The heavenly medicines that grade four heavenly imperial pills required were all extremely precious on Rainclear Continent.


    Therefore, grade four heavenly imperial pills were extremely valuable too.


    For ordinary martial artists, forget about consuming grade four heavenly imperial pills, they probably never even seen one before.


    But a large sect��s disciple like Wei Yu could take out this kind of valuable heavenly pill.


    As he said, Wei Yu fished out a heavenly pill, it was precisely the Four Qi Pill.


    When bystanders saw this heavenly pill, they naturally had envious looks on their faces.


    Who knew that Shi Yue received the heavenly pill and took a look, then returned it to Wei Yu again and said while shaking his head, ��Your Four Qi Pill is only upper fourth grade, I want to exchange for seventh grade and above!��


    Wei Yu��s face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, ��Shi Yue, you��re too immoral! A stalk of heavenly medicine, you want to exchange for a seventh grade heavenly imperial pill? Putting aside whether or not it��s worth this price, apart from those few top elders in the Pill Alliance, someone who can refine a seventh grade Four Qi Pill probably hasn��t been born in this world yet, right?��


    Shi Yue smiled and said, ��Therefore, I��m just trying my luck. If there really isn��t, I don��t mind either. This Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower is a rare commodity in short supply. I am not afraid of being unable to sell it either, isn��t that so?��


    Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower was indeed extremely rare on Rainclear Continent.


    It might not even be in the Pill Alliance.


    This kind of precious heavenly medicine, he naturally did not worry about not being able to sell it.


    Wei Yu was originally very angry, but at the thought that since he could not take out a seventh grade, Ye Yuan naturally would not be able to take one out either. He immediately calmed down a lot in his heart.


    ��Seventh grade is it? That��s not difficult. I can help you refine it. But you must gather the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines yourself,�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Shi Yue shook his head and said, ��I��m an itinerant cultivator, I don��t have the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines. If you can��t take it out, let��s not talk at this time.��


    He was not fearful of Big Yellow.


    After all, he was a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    His strength was extremely formidable.


    Wei Yu was known for being able to deal with grand completion Jade Sovereign Heavens. But, that was also just ordinary grand completion Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    He, Shi Yue, was very extraordinary!


    Wei Yu laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Looking at your poor and shabby appearance, I think you can��t gather the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines either!��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he could only let out a sigh and said, ��Like this huh, then it��s really too regrettable! Since you��re not selling, then I can only make a move to snatch it.��


    Shi Yue chuckled and said, ��Little Brother, your large yellow bull��s strength is pretty good, it��s just that want to deal with this old man ����


    Before Shi Yue finished speaking, a bull hood already arrived in front of his face..

 Chapter 2727 - Battle of Servants!

    Chapter 2727: Battle of Servants!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Shi Yue��s expression changed greatly, powerful divine essence instantly erupting, and he was about to evade this hoof.


    He suddenly discovered that this hoof was faster than any kick earlier!


    This large yellow bull was actually still hiding its strength?


    Shi Yue urged his divine essence to the extreme in an instant.


    Even if it was a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, he could avoid it too.


    It was just that unfortunately, he ran into Big Yellow!


    He was fast, but Big Yellow was faster!


    His figure moved swiftly, but Big Yellow��s bull hoof followed like a shadow.


    Bang!


    A foot kicked onto his face.


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock.


    Shi Yue was defeated too!


    Who was Shi Yue?


    He was a top powerhouse among itinerant cultivators, an existence that sects did not dare to provoke too.


    An itinerant cultivator like him, having powerful strength while being a loner, was the worst to provoke.


    Although Wei Yu was strong, he was not worth mentioning at all in front of Shi Yue.


    Hence, that was why he had the capital to pick a fight with Ye Yuan.


    But one kick and he was defeated!


    ��Hahaha, impressive! My Big Yellow is really incredible! Big Yellow, follow me and you��ll be invincible under the heavens!�� Taoist Wu Fang said excitedly.


    Big Yellow could not be bothered to care about him at all, running back subserviently and handing the Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower over to Ye Yuan while holding it in his mouth.


    Ye Yuan smiled. Putting it away, he said to the Shi Yue who had a bull hoof print on his face: ��My words are still valid. You gather the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines, and you can find me to refine it. I��ll be keeping this Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower. Next time, don��t be so unscrupulous.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan led Big Yellow and went away.


    ��This �� This is also too fake, right? Just what realm is this large yellow bull, why is his bull hoof so formidable?��


    ��Shi Yue��s strength practically doesn��t lose to some heavenly sects�� sect master, he actually couldn��t withstand a single hoof kick!��


    ��Is this the strength of a chaos aberrant? No wonder even Taoist Wu Fang��s eyes were emitting light!��


    ��But, the problem is, this large yellow bull is so formidable, on what basis was he subdued by a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven?��


    �� ��


    All kinds of discussions came from behind.


    It was just that no one could give an answer.


    Originally thought that this ascender was easy to bully, but who knew that he was a tough nut.


    ��Don��t hit the face when hitting people! This brat actually dares to hit my Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s face! After I request Second Elder to step forward, I want to see if you still dare to be so arrogant or not!��


    Finished saying, Wei Yu turned around and left.


    When everyone heard it, their brows raised up.


    The Second Elder that Wei Yu spoke of was called Tang Quan. He was a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse.


    If he took action, this brat definitely could not jump around anymore.


    Looks like Wei Yu was genuinely enraged.


    �� ��


    Walking into his own courtyard, a young man came up to greet.


    When Ye Yuan saw him, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    The young man��s complexion was pale, his aura chaotic. One glance and it was clear that he had considerable internal injuries.


    With Ye Yuan��s eyesight, he naturally saw through at a glance that this injury was not light.


    His days were likely numbered!


    The young man bowed as he said, ��This lowly one, Han Fang, pays respect to Senior! Cough, cough ����


    Speaking two sentences seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said, ��With your injuries, you likely won��t make it past two months.��


    Han Fang��s expression changed, the look in his eyes becoming dim very quickly and he said, ��This lowly one knows.��


    Ye Yuan was speechless. The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect actually sent such a sickly invalid to serve him, they really thought highly enough of him.


    That Zong Rui was simply showing him attitude!


    This Han Fang was merely a lower Greater Sublime Heaven powerhouse; just a notch stronger than that Jun Tian.


    In the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s outer-sect, he was likely just a low-level minor character too.


    What was even more damnable was that this guy was clearly just beaten by someone. Furthermore, no punches were pulled, it was clearly aiming for his life.


    Furthermore, Han Fang��s talent was extremely poor. Cultivating like this, he probably could not reach Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum in this lifetime.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect really knows how to bully people! However, I like to slap their faces!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan fished out four small bottles and directly threw them over and said coolly, ��You take these heavenly pills. Just enter closed-seclusion here! Three days later, whoever beat you until like this, you go and beat them back for me!��


    Han Fang was taken aback and said with a bitter smile, ��Senior, forget about three days; even if you give me 30 years, it��s impossible for me to win against him too! Furthermore, he��s currently the servant of Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s number one genius, Wei Yu. After beating him, he likely won��t let it slide!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help smiling.


    It was really coincidental!


    ��If I said that three days is enough, it will suffice! You consume the heavenly pill in this first vial first. Following that, consume all of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills in these two bottles within a day. On the last day, take the heavenly pills in this fourth bottle.�� Ye Yuan instructed.


    Grade two heavenly pills were already not considered very valuable to the current Ye Yuan.


    Using them to slap the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect and Wei Yu��s face, Ye Yuan was happy to see it happen.


    Returning to the house, Han Fang opened the first vial and his expression could not help changing.


    Ninth grade perfection Heavenly Healing Pill!


    This heavenly pill was simply a healing sacred medicine to him!


    Consuming the Heavenly Healing Pill, Han Fang��s injuries were completely restored to health in less than half a day.


    Following that, he started to take the second and third bottles.


    Ninth grade perfection Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill!


    Han Fang sucked in a breath of cold air.


    The first vial only had one heavenly pill.


    There were 30 Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pills in these two small bottles, they were all ninth grade perfection!


    What a grand display!


    It was still his first time seeing so many ninth grade perfection heavenly pills having lived until now!


    When Han Fang finished refining the 30th Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill, he felt like his entire person had been remolded anew.


    His absorption speed of spiritual energy was dozens of times faster than before!


    Ninth grade perfection heavenly pills were too terrifying!


    And his realm also directly reached middle Greater Sublime Heaven.


    On the second day, Han Fang swallowed the heavenly pills in the fourth vial. It was three cultivation heavenly pills; the grade already approached the level of heavenly imperial pills.


    After consuming them, Han Fang directly broke through to upper Greater Sublime Heaven on the third day!


    After leaving seclusion, Han Fang prostrated on the ground to Ye Yuan and said, ��This lowly one thanks Senior for your great kindness! This lowly one is willing to lay down my life to repay Senior!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Stop talking rubbish, go and beat that guy up ruthlessly for me.��


    Han Fang said excitedly, ��Yes, Senior!��


    Two hours later, Han Fang returned. Bowing again, he said excitedly, ��Senior, he has already been maimed by me! He can forget about getting up from his bed in a month!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Good job!��


    Over there, Wei Yu was in a thunderous rage.


    He already knew that the one who beat him was Ye Yuan��s servant.


    He did not dare to find Ye Yuan, so he ran in front of Zong Rui angrily and questioned, ��Zong Rui! Does your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect still have any respect for our Seven-star Heavenly Sect? The servant that you arranged for me actually can��t compare to that bastard ascender��s!��


    Zong Rui also got the news already and knew what Wei Yu was talking about.


    Except, he was very puzzled too.. He could only smile bitterly and say, ��Younger Brother Wei, you��ve wronged me! People I arranged for you were the outer-sect��s top few powerhouses! The one arranged for Ye Yuan was the outer-sect��s last place. Furthermore, he was even seriously injured! Who knew that he only used three days and actually directly broke through to upper Greater Sublime Heaven?��

 Chapter 2728 - Scouting Out the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect in the Night!

    Chapter 2728: Scouting Out the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect in the Night!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What?! Three days?�� Wei Yu got a shock too.


    An outer-sect disciple, forget about three days, it was impossible to break through two minor realms in three years too.


    When he thought about it, there was only a heavenly alchemist that could accomplish this.


    Wei Yu��s brows furrowed and he said, ��Could it be that he��s a heavenly alchemist? But he��s an ascender!��


    It was difficult for ascenders to become heavenly alchemists, this was general knowledge.


    Although the Pill Alliance had unified the Five Great Heavenly Regions now, this kind of extremely high-quality heavenly pill, even if it was a grade one heavenly pill, it rarely strayed outside too.


    Hence, it was naturally very hard for Wei Yu they all to imagine how Ye Yuan did it.


    Zong Rui smiled bitterly and said, ��Even if it��s my Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s first seat, he also can��t make someone break through two minor realms within three days! Moreover, that Han Fang��s aptitude is extremely poor!��


    Wei Yu��s expression turned sullen and he said with a cold snort, ��Who cares what he is! Provoking my Seven-star Heavenly Sect, the outcome can only be death! Second Elder will be exiting seclusion tomorrow. I��ll go and personally request him to take action!��


    As he said, Wei Yu left angrily.


    A day later, Tang Quan exited seclusion.


    ��Second Elder, that brat is really too condescending. He doesn��t place my Seven-star Heavenly Sect in his eyes at all! You have to help me avenge this grudge!�� Wei Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Four to five days had already passed, the two hoof prints on his face still had not dissipated completely.


    Hearing Wei Yu��s words, Tang Quan waved his hand and said coolly, ��Merely a clown jumping around, that��s all! Let him be arrogant for a few days first. On the day we set off, I��ll kill him with my own hands. At that time, it can also showcase my Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s strength!��


    In the eyes of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, there was nothing more that they held in awe and veneration other than Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    During the mystic realm trip this time, True Yang Heavenly Domain��s few major heavenly sects all sent quite a number of powerhouses over.


    At that time, it would definitely be a massive lineup.


    Killing people during that occasion as a sacrificial offering was undoubtedly the best way to showcase one��s strength.


    �� ��


    Getting Ye Yuan��s benefits, Han Fang naturally answered every question that Ye Yuan had.


    Ye Yuan also knew that with Han Fang��s status, it was impossible to know much of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s secrets.


    However, Ye Yuan understood quite a bit about Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s situation.


    It was a hazy night, Ye Yuan brought Big Yellow and exhibited spatial rule, sneaking into the night with the wind.


    ��Master Ye��s concealment technique is not the least bit inferior to Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!�� Seeing Ye Yuan��s means, Big Yellow exclaimed with admiration.


    Ye Yuan��s application of spatial rule already reached a transcendent realm.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven comprehended Heavenly Dao, using Dao spells being a given, and they could hide their bodies at will.


    But Ye Yuan was just Jade Sovereign Heaven, and yet, he actually already had such means. It was simply inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Come, take a walk around the main peak first. See if we can hear any news or not.��


    While talking, the two arrived on the main peak of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    ��Master Ye, the main peak is so big, how do we eavesdrop?�� Big Yellow asked puzzledly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and slowly closed his eyes. A faintly discernible undulation slowly spread out.


    Big Yellow��s bull eyes went wide, revealing a look of disbelief.


    Soul technique!


    He could feel that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity power radiated out in a certain manner.


    Just like tidewater, covering the entire main peak!


    Furthermore, this kind of undulation was barely perceptible, it was hard to detect at all.


    He was Saint Sovereign Heaven. That was how he barely managed to detect this undulation.


    One could imagine, unless Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, otherwise, they would not be able to find Ye Yuan at all.


    This move was a soul technique in the Divine Emergence, Divine Contact!


    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity power radiated out like tentacles. Using it to investigate information was the most useful.


    Furthermore, this move was extremely secretive.


    Unless one��s origin divinity was much stronger than Ye Yuan, otherwise, it would be impossible to discover.


    Ye Yuan cultivated the Divine Emergence. One really could not find more than a few whose origin divinity was stronger than his in Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm.


    Perhaps Taoist Wu Fang��s origin divinity could compete with him.


    But there was basically no hope of discovering this move.


    The moment Divine Contact was released, a lot of information burrowed into Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness.


    ��Entering the mystic realm this time, our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect absolutely cannot allow any mistakes! Whether or not our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect can find the Heavenspan Mountain and revitalize the sect will depend on this trip! Head Elder, this sect master will be personally entering the mystic realm this time. The sect��s affairs will be entrusted to you!��


    ��Sect Master, rest assured. Leave the sect to this old man. It��s just that True Yang Heavenly Domain��s seven great heavenly sects are all here this time. Adding in quite a number of itinerant cultivators, there are no less than 300 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. Is there really no problem?��


    ��This is also something that can��t be helped! With Ancestor Jadetrue��s ability, he still fell inside back then! Now, if we don��t find more cannon fodders, we have no chance of finding the Heavenspan Mountain at all.��


    ��Sigh, hope that Ancestor Jadetrue will bless us so that we can find the Heavenspan Mountain! This old man heard that there might even be Saint Exalts entering the mystic realm this time, you all have to be careful!��


    ��Rest assured, our goal is only the Heavenspan Mountain! A mere heavenly spirit treasure, Saint Exalts will despise it. However, the things that they want probably won��t be so easy to obtain too! Back then, nine great Saint Exalts entered Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm, but only Zhuo Bufan alone came out! It can be imagined, that place isn��t some nice place!��


    �� ��


    Big Yellow discovered that Ye Yuan��s expression became increasingly gloomy.


    Hearing this conversation, Ye Yuan��s heart sank to rock-bottom.


    Listening to the meaning in these words, could it be that the Heavenspan World had actually been exposed?


    But, in that remote place, Ye Yuan also acted covertly. How could it be discovered?


    Ye Yuan furrowed his brows, unable to figure it out after racking his brains.


    Originally, Ye Yuan planned on understanding some of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s secrets, then leaving right away.


    But looking at it now, he would have to make a trip with the main force.


    The Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm that Jadetrue Sect Master talked about, Ye Yuan felt confused about it.


    The Heavenspan Mountain was merely a dilapidated small chiliocosm that did not even have a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse. It was clearly not some Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm.


    But Jadetrue Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm said that nine great Saint Exalts entered Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm. That place should also be the last place where Yan Jadetrue fell.


    All of these were like a mystery.


    For this, he had no choice but to make a trip.


    Furthermore, the mystic realm trip this time was likely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    The place that even the likes of Zhuo Bufan and Yan Jadetrue were moved by, it was clearly not where ordinary Jade Sovereign Heavens could set foot in.


    Therefore, this mystic realm was likely to attract many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses to come.


    At that time, it likely could not dispense with a bout of terrible fighting.


    And what Ye Yuan was more worried about was that if the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm was really in the Heavenspan World, then with so many Heavenly Stratum powerhouses entering, the Heavenspan World would likely be plunged into an abyss of suffering.


    Back then, a group of people entering the Immortal Grove World almost completely destroyed the small world.


    And the destructive power of Heavenly Stratum powerhouses was on a completely different level from those Empyreans and Heavenly Emperors back then!


    Heavenly Stratum, that was a supreme realm!


    Even the most ordinary Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was a supreme god in the Lower Realms too!


    They would be able to slaughter hundreds of millions of living things with a wave of a hand.


    Quietly withdrawing Divine Contact, Ye Yuan withdrew from the main peak, then headed to a mountain at the back.


    ��Master Ye, what happened? Your expression is very ugly,�� Big Yellow asked worriedly.

 Chapter 2729 - Grandmist Energy!

    Chapter 2729: Grandmist Energy!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan said, ��Entering the mystic realm this time might even be very dangerous for Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. Big Yellow, you go back to the Myriad Demons Mountain first.��


    ��What��s Master Ye saying? Since Big Yellow followed Master Ye, I naturally have to ensure Master Ye��s safety. No matter how dangerous this mystic realm is, Big Yellow will accompany you too!�� Big Yellow said without hesitation.


    Ye Yuan��s words were not a probe either.


    He did not have that kind of contractual relationship with Big Yellow, and Big Yellow was not really his mount either.


    Big Yellow was straightforward, simple-minded, but Big Yellow was not stupid.


    It could be seen from the fact that he wanted to follow Ye Yuan regardless of life or death.


    What he set his mind on, he would not turn back.


    Going with Ye Yuan would be risky, but the payback would be higher.


    After leaving, it would be difficult to want to follow Ye Yuan again.


    Big Yellow��s heart was like a clear mirror.


    However, he had indeed never thought about leaving before either. If not for Ye Yuan, he could forget about stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven in this lifetime too.


    Therefore, he did not consider it at all and answered Ye Yuan.


    ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s ancestor, a Saint Exalt powerhouse who had once commanded the Five Great Heavenly Regions, perished there too! Do you really want to go?��


    Big Yellow nodded and said, ��Yes, why wouldn��t I go? Don��t you humans have a saying called: wealth and opportunity come with danger? Maybe this trip is my, Big Yellow��s, lucky chance?��


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he grinned and said, ��Okay, then let��s challenge this Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm!��


    Since Big Yellow was risking his life to accompany him, he, Ye Yuan, would naturally remember it in his heart.


    �� ��


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, Jadefork Peak.


    There were countless restrictions here enveloping it.


    This Jadefork Peak was Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s greatest forbidden land that Han Fang talked about!


    This place, apart from the sect master, nobody was to approach it.


    When the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was at its prime, extremely powerhouse restrictions had once been laid down here. Even Saint Sovereign Heavens would find it hard to intrude inside too.


    Feeling this terrifying restriction undulation, Big Yellow felt deep terror strike his heart too.


    He felt danger!


    ��Master Ye, this place, Big Yellow can��t enter it either. Why don��t we leave first? After going back, we��ll slowly think of a way,�� Big Yellow said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Already came, what��s the hurry?��


    He was pacing around the entrance and saw that there was a groove on a stone pier very quickly, its shape very odd.


    But when Ye Yuan saw this groove, his eyes lit up, the Heavenspan Mountain already in his palm.


    This groove shape was exactly the same as the base of the Heavenspan Mountain!


    Ye Yuan placed the Heavenspan Mountain into the groove, those terrifying restrictions dissipated without a trace in an instant.


    When Big Yellow saw this scene, he could not help staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    ��It �� can actually work like this?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This treasure was Yan Jadetrue��s in the first place. It��s all too normal that he uses the Heavenspan Mountain as the formation eye.��


    Without restrictions, the two people traveled unimpeded all the way straight up to the top of the mountain.


    However, walking along the way, it was very normal. There was no suspicious area at all.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Strange, since this Jadefork Peak is called a forbidden area, it��s impossible that it��s just a bare mountain, right? Could it be ����


    His gaze looked towards the 100 thousand foot abyss ahead!


    ��Big Yellow!��


    Ye Yuan cried out lightly and leaped, jumping down the bottomless chasm with Big Yellow.


    But the moment he jumped, Ye Yuan��s heart thumped.


    A powerful and strange force made his figure plummet rapidly!


    Falling down at this speed, even if he was a Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, he would definitely die without a doubt too!


    In his sea of consciousness, Mi Tian said, ��Quickly urge the Myriad Realms Mountain!��


    Ye Yuan came to a sudden realization and hurriedly took the Heavenspan Mountain out again, and injected divine essence to stimulate it.


    Ye Yuan��s figure came to an abrupt halt and actually floated in the air.


    Seeing this, he let out a slight sigh in relief too.


    Big Yellow was Saint Sovereign Heaven after all. Although he was somewhat jumbled, he could barely manage to stabilize his figure.


    Ye Yuan was sweating large droplets, and he said, ��I was still careless! I didn��t expect that there��s actually still this kind of strange power behind this cliff. This power isn��t from the restrictions. It seems to be formed naturally.��


    But, in his sea of consciousness, Mi Tian said excitedly, ��Stinky brat, you��ve picked up a treasure! Grandmist energy spanning more than ten thousand miles! This is a forcefield formed by grandmist energy! There��s definitely grandmist energy in this mountain! With it, your Myriad Realms Mountain will be able to elevate to a grandmist treasure!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows shot up and he said in pleasant surprise, ��There��s actually such a thing? Really obtained it effortlessly without even looking for it!��


    Ever since learning about the Heavenspan Mountain��s true origin, Ye Yuan constantly wanted to restore it to its peak state.


    He did not expect to actually encounter grandmist energy here!


    Mi Tian said, ��You urge the Myriad Realms Mountain and find the area with the strongest forcefield. That place is the entrance!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and started urging the Heavenspan Mountain.


    He relaxed his body and mind and relied entirely on the Heavenspan Mountain to sense.


    The more divine essence injected, it meant the stronger the forcefield there.


    Very soon, he saw a deep hole on the cliff!


    ��That��s it!�� Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.


    He could feel waves of mysterious undulations coming from inside.


    When Big Yellow saw this scene, he could not help clicking his tongues in wonder too.


    Entering the cave, Ye Yuan could not help saying with a sigh, ��Even if one knows that there��s a precious treasure on this cliff, without Saint Sovereign Heaven strength, it��s impossible to obtain it too!��


    He was unable to overcome that strange forcefield even when he employed spatial rule.


    If ordinary Jade Sovereign Heavens came here, there would only be one outcome, that was falling to their deaths.


    Big Yellow nodded and said, ��This forcefield carries the might of heaven. It��s rather terrifying! Want to come here, it at least needs half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven strength too!��


    The two people walked along the entrance of the cave. The deeper they went in, the more they felt a powerful undulation transmit over.


    The light gradually brightened.


    It also became wider and wider inside.


    Ye Yuan saw that there was a milky white barrier in front of him that blocked the way.


    He could feel waves of chaos aura emitting from inside this milk-white barrier.


    And amidst the chaos, there was a small cluster of pale yellow air mass, giving off an even more solid and mysterious aura.


    Presumably, that was the grandmist energy that Mi Tian was talking about.


    ��I didn��t expect that there��s actually a boundary wall in this tiny sect! No wonder grandmist energy would appear here! Most likely, this Myriad Realms Mountain passed through from the boundary wall, that��s how it landed here! That fool who obtained the Myriad Realms Mountain definitely doesn��t know that this power is grandmist energy, being stupid to the extreme!�� Mi Tian said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he sighed and said, ��This Yan Jadetrue was sitting on a treasure mountain but didn��t know it! Yet, he wanted to use the Heavenspan World��s power to repair the Heavenspan Mountain? How ironic!��


    Utilizing grandmist energy, it was possible to repair the Heavenspan Mountain, and even let it become a grandmist treasure.


    But Yan Jadetrue clearly did not know at all!


    Horizon determined behavior.


    No matter how strong Yan Jadetrue was, he was also merely a local tyrant, that was all.


    ��Senior, that��s grandmist energy?�� Ye Yuan pointed at that pale yellow air mass and asked.


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��That��s right! However, this grandmist energy is a little lacking. I��m afraid that it can only let your Myriad Realms Mountain break through to a grade one grandmist treasure.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Being able to reach grandmist treasure is already very good! How do I take it out?��

 Chapter 2730 - Coquettish Profligate Hoof!

    Chapter 2730: Coquettish Profligate Hoof!


    ��You restore your true dragon form, I��ll teach you!�� Mi Tian said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, the dragon might in his body billowed to the sky.


    Very soon, he transformed into an azure dragon form that was several hundred feet long.


    The moment the true dragon appeared, Big Yellow��s bull eyes directly became wide-saucers and he said in alarm and terror, ��Y-Y-You �� how can you �� true �� true dragon!��


    True dragons were chaos true spirits, being extremely rare.


    True dragons had never appeared on Rainclear Continent before.


    Now, he actually met a true dragon. How could he not be shocked?


    He never dreamed that not only was Ye Yuan a remarkable heavenly alchemist, he was actually also a true dragon!


    ��No need to make a fuss. I have half dragon race lineage, so transforming into a true dragon isn��t a big deal,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Y-You said it too lightly! Chaos true spirits are the darling of heaven. Each one is an incomparably formidable existence! You �� You��re actually of the dragon race!�� Big Yellow said speechlessly.


    Swoosh!


    Right at this time, a figure actually dashed out of the boundary wall.


    The arrival said in shock and anger, ��Who is it? To actually dare trespass my Jadetrue��s forbidden land!��


    When Ye Yuan saw it, he was shocked in his heart too.


    He did not expect that a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse was actually hidden in the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s forbidden land!


    In front of him was an old man in tattered clothing, looking thin and emaciated like he was about to kick the bucket. He looked very terrifying.


    ��Eh, there��s actually a three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven here! This little bull is likely not his match!�� Mi Tian was a little surprised as he said.


    Ye Yuan was even more surprised when he heard it. This old man was actually a three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Although transcending tribulations would not increase the strength of Saint Sovereign Heavens, wanting to successfully transcend tribulations required powerful strength in itself.


    So Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses often used the number of tribulations to differentiate strength too.


    This old man could transcend the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation three times, his strength could be seen at a glance!


    Big Yellow had not even transcended a Dao Tribulation once. Hence, he was naturally not a match.


    When the old man saw Ye Yuan, he could not help but get a shock too and said, ��True dragon! A true dragon actually appeared in Rainclear Continent! Hahaha, this exalt just happened to be lacking a mount, since you delivered yourself to the door, then this exalt won��t be courteous!��


    After the surprise, the old man��s first reaction was actually to capture Ye Yuan and use him as a mount!


    A true dragon as a mount, not only would it gain face, there would be a great helper in the future!


    It just so happened that Ye Yuan��s current strength was not strong, it was just right to capture.


    But before Ye Yuan said anything, the Mi Tian in his sea of consciousness was already beyond furious.


    Ye Yuan only felt a heinous fury almost wanting to immolate him completely in his sea of consciousness.


    ��Ignorant fool, truly monstrous audacity! My dragon race is of a supreme true spirit, you actually dare to have this idea, prepare to bear my wrath!��


    With this sentence, Mi Tian did not communicate it with Ye Yuan��s through divine sense, but he said it to the old man.


    That voice was furious to the extreme.


    When this voice appeared, it gave the old man and Big Yellow a fright at the same time.


    ��Little Bull, listen to my command! Pummel this old man into a patty for me!�� Mi Tian��s voice appeared again and said to Big Yellow.


    Big Yellow suddenly came to his senses and said worriedly, ��Master Ye, c-could it be that you were taken possession of?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��This is a senior that��s residing in my body. Him being willing to give you pointers, that��s your lucky chance!��


    The moment Big Yellow heard, he could not help breathing a sigh of relief.


    But he also understood that this senior dwelling in Ye Yuan��s body was definitely a true dragon as well.


    To dare talk about giving pointers to a Saint Sovereign Heaven, this senior��s strength was likely extremely terrifying!


    It was just that, the old man was disapproving and said disdainfully, ��Some guy who doesn��t even have a physical body, you also want to deal with this exalt? This exalt��s three Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulations weren��t transcended in vain!��


    ��Heh, a Saint Sovereign Heaven little fellow on a remote continent actually dares to speak to this old man in this manner, you don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth!�� Mi Tian said with a cold laugh.


    The old man sneered and said, ��Is that so? Then �� let this exalt witness it!��


    It was only to see the old man��s palm move slightly. A terrifying force condensed and formed in his hand.


    This was the power of a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. With every movement and action, it was Heavenly Dao rules!


    The moment the old man moved, Big Yellow��s face revealed a solemn expression.


    This old man��s strength was not the slightest bit weaker than Saint Exalt Bull Demon!


    ��Relax, listen to me! Bloodline power is hidden in Shen Que, Guan Yuan, activate Heavenly Dao rule ����


    Mi Tian talked extremely fast, guiding Big Yellow to revolve bloodline power.


    Big Yellow did not dare to be neglectful, immediately complying.


    Suddenly, rules shook in the cave.


    The Heavenly Dao rule inspired in Big Yellow��s body actually surpassed the old man��s very quickly!


    When the old man saw the situation, his expression suddenly changed.


    However, it was Big Yellow��s first time in the end. He was not as skilled as the old man.


    The old man completed his move very quickly.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he smacked the palm over.


    Mi Tian was unhurried and said coolly, ��Alright, kick your hoof!��


    Big Yellow��s body became very contorted at this moment.


    That appearance looked very coquettish, very profligate!


    But the power was very strong!


    Big Yellow��s bull face turned red from holding it in. It was as if boundless power had been suppressed within his body.


    ��ARGH!!��


    Big Yellow let out a cry very unrestrainedly and kicked a hoof out extremely coquettishly.


    The old man cried out miserably, directly smashing and embedding in the boundary wall by this hoof, spurting fresh blood out of his mouth.


    Succeeding with one strike, Big Yellow was not excited, but looked at Ye Yuan with a resentful look and said, ��Senior, must you perform the move like this?��


    The movement earlier was seriously too coquettish. Even he felt a little embarrassed.


    But the power was really strong!


    Big Yellow could feel that the old man��s palm earlier was extremely powerful.


    But, under a head-to-head confrontation, he was actually directly sent flying.


    Mi Tian laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� comparing depravedness, you��re still far from it! Back then, Heavenly Bull��s Coquettish Profligate Hoof was really profligate! His Coquettish Profligate Hoof even directly pierced through the boundary wall! His posture was a thousand times more euphoric than yours! Practice it well. If you practice this move well, it will be enough for you to benefit for life!��


    ��Pfft!�� When Ye Yuan heard, he nearly spurted out a mouthful of old blood and said, ��How can there be someone who could create such a coquettish move?��


    Rather, when Big Yellow heard it, his expression changed drastically and he said in surprise, ��H-Heavenly Bull? Could it be that Senior was a Chaos Heavenly Bull?��


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Being able to be friends with this old man, he was naturally a Chaos Heavenly Bull!��


    Big Yellow drew a deep breath, his heart astonished to the extreme.


    Chaos Heavenly Bull was their lineage��s supreme bloodline!


    The ultimate goal of them working hard to transform was the Chaos Heavenly Bull bloodline.


    It was just that Chaos Heavenly Bulls were like true dragons; extremely rare.


    To the Rainclear Continent, it was naturally something impossible.


    Big Yellow did not expect that this senior dwelling in Ye Yuan��s body was actually such a level of existence!


    It was truly shocking to the extreme.


    ��Alright, you��ve already displayed this ��Coquettish Profligate Hoof�� before. Although there��s still a long way from learning the rudiments, it��s enough to deal with this moron. I��ll leave the rest to you.��


    As he said, he ignored Big Yellow, but turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Alright, urge your true dragon power to the extreme and place your dragon horn on the boundary wall. Use your heart to feel, feel Heavenly Dao rules! My true dragon race is born from chaos. Hence, we can naturally merge into chaos..��

    Ye Yuan complied and placed his dragon horn on the boundary wall.


    Swoosh!


    Outside of Ye Yuan��s expectations, his body actually rushed straight into the boundary wall, and he stumbled.


    Ye Yuan could not help being taken aback. He was still wondering how difficult it would be. He did not expect that he would come in so easily.


    ��Senior, it doesn��t seem as hard as imagined,�� Ye Yuan said with an innocent face.


    Mi Tian had a confused look too and said, ��You brat �� Ah, I understand. You cultivate the cultivation method of the Lord of Chaos and are very attuned to chaos in itself. Coupled with the affinity of the true dragon race, entering the boundary wall becomes very easy. However, don��t be happy too early either. With your bit of strength, you can��t walk very far at all.��


    Ye Yuan walked towards that yellow air mass and said with a smile, ��Being able to get the grandmist energy will do, how should I refine it?��


    Myriad Realms Mountain said, ��You send the Myriad Realms Mountain into the grandmist energy, then follow the method that I say. Guide grandmist energy in bit by bit. Take note, there mustn��t be the slightest mistake during this process. Otherwise, not only will it fall short of success at the last stage, it will even damage the Myriad Realms Mountain. And this cluster of grandmist energy would also be wasted.��


    As he said, Mi Tian imparted the refining method to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan arrived next to the grandmist energy and sent the Heavenspan Mountain into the grandmist energy according to the refining method that Mi Tian talked about.


    Over there, the old man who was fighting fiercely with Big Yellow seemed to have felt it, his entire body suddenly trembling.


    His eyes were glued onto the Heavenspan Mountain, the look in his eyes full of shock.


    ��H-Heavenspan Mountain! The Heavenspan Mountain is actually in his hands!��


    Wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, who would have guessed that the Heavenspan Mountain that the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had been searching bitterly for from top to bottom, actually came back by itself!


    Bang!


    Just as the old man was in shock, Big Yellow showed off coquettishness and a hoof kick arrived again.


    The old man was caught off-guard and directly had a kick stomped on his face.


    The old man��s nosebleed overflowed, only feeling that the entire world was spinning.


    Big Yellow had a disdainful look as he said, ��Still getting distracted when fighting, are you looking down on people?��


    The straightforward and good-natured Big Yellow actually became full of uninhibitedness when talking.


    The old man endured the pain and said in a solemn voice, ��Who the hell are you guys? Why would the Heavenspan Mountain be in your hands?��


    Big Yellow said coolly, ��Want to know, wait until this exalt beats you to a cripple first! In a while, Master Ye will naturally come and tell you!��


    The old man looked at Big Yellow hatefully and said, ��You, a dignified Saint Exalt, is actually going to be a puny little Jade Sovereign Heaven��s hired thug?��


    Big Yellow said disdainfully, ��What does a swallow know of the aims of a swan? You think that three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven is very strong, but following this Master Ye will have greater possibilities! Alright, enough rubbish, watch out for my hoof!��


    After he finished talking, it was another Coquettish Profligate Hoof.


    Got to admit, although this move that Mi Tian imparted looked very embarrassing, its power was really strong.


    Each kick was illusory; extremely hard to ascertain.


    Wanting to defend was incredibly difficult.


    The old man had just taken a hit; his entire person was still in upheaval. Hence, how could he take this kick?


    Big Yellow unforgiving after gaining the momentum too, each hoof attack being stronger than the last.


    Refining grandmist energy was not considered very difficult to Ye Yuan.


    This process was very complicated, it was a very delicate job.


    But, for Ye Yuan, meticulousness was one of his greatest strong points.


    The process of refining a grade four heavenly imperial pill was many times more complicated than this, he similarly would not make any mistakes.


    That small cluster of grandmist energy became smaller and smaller.


    The aura of the Heavenspan Mountain became increasingly unfathomable.


    This was precisely the hallmark of a grandmist treasure!


    When the last trace of grandmist energy was refined, Ye Yuan let out a long sigh in relief, his face revealing a joyful expression.


    This trip to the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was really not in vain!


    Although the Dragon Spring Sword was good, in terms of potential, it was still the Heavenspan Mountain that was better.


    This treasure could follow him as he cultivated all the way to an extremely high realm.


    Mi Tian also said, there were not many treasures comparable to the Myriad Realms Mountain in this world!


    Bringing the Heavenspan Mountain, Ye Yuan withdrew out of the boundary wall.


    Over there, the old man had already been kicked by Big Yellow until he was covered in wounds and was almost biting the dust.


    It was also that a Saint Sovereign Heaven could take a beating, otherwise, with Big Yellow��s strength, the old man would have long been laid flat.


    However, looking at Big Yellow��s coquettish appearance, Ye Yuan still could not resist bursting into laughter.


    Compared to normally, Big Yellow had simply become like a different person.


    With the intention of testing the Heavenspan Mountain��s power, Ye Yuan silently recited a spell. The Heavenspan Mountain immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and smashed toward the old man.


    Ye Yuan grasped the timing perfectly, coordinating closely with Big Yellow.


    The old man was caught by surprise, his back suffering a heavy blow.


    Only to see him spurt a mouthful of blood wildly, directly collapsing onto the ground and staying there.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he could not help being secretly speechless too.


    The power of the Heavenspan Mountain was more than a hundred times stronger than before!


    In fact, its power was more than a magnitude stronger than the Dragon Spring Sword.


    Just a small cluster of grandmist energy and its power actually had such a big increase!


    Seeing that the old man had lost his combat capacity, Big Yellow stopped attacking too.


    The other party was still strong in the end. Even if he learned the Coquettish Profligate Hoof, he was still unable to take the other party down within a short time.


    The battle between Saint Sovereign Heavens was very difficult.


    It was far too difficult to want to kill the opponent.


    Ye Yuan gave Big Yellow a big thumbs up and praised, ��Big Yellow, really coquettish!��


    Big Yellow gave Ye Yuan a resentful glance and said, ��Master Ye, stop making fun of me.��


    Ye Yuan burst out laughing when he heard that.


    ��W-Who the hell are you? Why would our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s Heavenspan Mountain be in your hands?�� The old man still could not resist asking.


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect had already lost the Heavenspan Mountain for several tens of thousands of years.


    Now that he saw it again, how could he not be excited?


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said disdainfully, ��Your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s Heavenspan Mountain? Heh, Yan Jadetrue obtained the Heavenspan Mountain here, right? He was merely one of the Heavenspan Mountain��s masters, that��s all. Presently, I��m its master!��


    The old man looked at the Heavenspan Mountain in Ye Yuan��s hands and his pupils could not help constricting.


    The Heavenspan Mountain actually already became a grandmist treasure!


    When fighting just now, the Heavenspan Mountain absorbed that mysterious cluster of power in the boundary wall and broke through!


    One had to know, with Yan Jadetrue��s strength, it was impossible to let the Heavenspan Mountain become a grandmist treasure too!


    What in the world was this young man��s background?


    Also, that mysterious person dwelling in his body was a figure who was even terrifying to the extreme.


    Casually giving pointers to Big Yellow and it made his strength eclipse his!


    This level of means, it was what even he, this Saint Sovereign Heaven, could not imagine!


    If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would not believe it at all.


    ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect really concealed deeply! I didn��t expect that you guys actually still had a three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven! Let me ask you, what kind of place is the mystic realm that your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect is going to this time?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The old man��s expression changed slightly, and he said, ��Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm is a magnificent continent. There are countless precious treasures in there! However, immense danger is also held in store. Back then, seven great middle Saint Sovereign Heavens were killed until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open in order to obtain the treasure inside. Ancestor Jadetrue also fell there. However, only the seven of them knew the location of the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm. Only all the way until recently, when a phenomenon suddenly happened there, was it discovered by us.��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Where is that Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm?��


    The old man said, ��Inklight Forest!��


    Chapter 2731 �C Heavenspan Mountain Advancing!

 Chapter 2732 - Tyrannical Seven-star Heavenly Sect!

    Chapter 2732: Tyrannical Seven-star Heavenly Sect!


    Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly changed.


    Sure enough, it was Inklight Forest!


    ��What location in Inklight Forest?�� Ye Yuan��s tone became solemn.


    The old man gave a coordinate, but wasn��t that precisely the site that the Heavenspan World was at?


    At this point, Ye Yuan no longer had any hope of getting lucky in his heart!


    It was just that he was very perplexed; why would the Heavenspan World have associations with this whatever Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm?


    Ye Yuan started worrying about Li-er they all.


    He frowned and said, ��What kind of abnormalities happened there?��


    The old man answered, ��A few days ago, bloody light suddenly rose to the sky there, dyeing the dark night red. Linking all sorts of rumors previously, only then did we confirm that that place is the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm!��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath, his heart being in a fluster.


    ��Have you all sent people in before?��


    The old man shook his head and said, ��The bloody light is extremely strong right now. We can��t enter at all! However, that bloody light is currently weakening and we��ll be able to enter very soon. We don��t have assurance. That��s why we sent out the hero invitations, inviting more powerhouses to enter together.��


    But the moment Ye Yuan heard, he became even more worried.


    He did not know what kind of change happened in the Heavenspan World.


    Were Li-er they all still well?


    ��Big Yellow, send him on his way!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Right!�� Big Yellow received the order and directly ended the old man.


    �� ��


    Bang!


    In a secret chamber of the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, it specially enshrined a life tablet.


    That place was the previous, previous generation sect master��s life tablet!


    The disciple guarding the hall was suddenly startled awake and his expression could not help changing wildly.


    ��Things are bad, Ancestor Lu Zhengxin��s life tablet has shattered!��


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s upper echelons fell into extreme shock and panic very quickly.


    At this critical juncture, the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s greatest trump card, the three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven ancestor, actually died!


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s sect master, Chen Tai, returned from Jadefork Peak, his expression terrifyingly grim.


    There were only him and Head Elder, two people, who knew that Lu Zhengxin existed!


    ��Sect Master, what in the world happened? Who could kill Ancestor?�� Head Elder said with a sorrowful face.


    ��Don��t know who did it! But it��s definitely a Saint Sovereign Heaven that��s lurking among those people! Not only did he kill Ancestor, he even took away that mysterious power at the back mountain! What ruthless means! This is equivalent to severing our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s lineage!��


    Talking until here, Chen Tai gnashed his teeth in hatred.


    But more of it was helplessness.


    The reason why Lu Zhengxin was able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was entirely because of comprehending that cluster of grandmist energy.


    However, Lu Zhengxin actually could not leave that cave at all.


    Because his fourth Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation was long overdue.


    He could shield heaven��s secrets inside that cave and delay the arrival of the fourth Dao Tribulation.


    This was also the reason why the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect would decline.


    No successors!


    But, as long as he was around, he would be the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s guardian deity.


    Now, the deity was dead!


    The mysterious power that could help step into Saint Sovereign Heaven also disappeared.


    There was still no news about the Heavenspan Mountain.


    The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was really on the verge of extinction this time.


    Ye Yuan did not know that him taking away the grandmist energy would cause such a heavy loss to the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    Of course, even if he knew, he would not care either.


    He did not have any good impression of the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect in the first place.


    If not for Yan Jadetrue, how could the Heavenspan World have been deceived for hundreds of millions of years?


    ��What should we do now?�� Head Elder said with a solemn face.


    ��Absolutely can��t let the outside world know about this matter. We must pretend like everything��s fine! The Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm trip this time is our last chance! As long as we can find the Heavenspan Mountain, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect will still have hope of continuing!�� Chen Tai said in a solemn voice.


    Their Saint Sovereign Heaven was dead and they did not even dare to investigate it. They could only swallow the grievance.


    �� ��


    A month��s time passed in a flash.


    Several hundred powerhouses were gathered in Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    There naturally could not dispense with some friction.


    But ever since Big Yellow knocked Shi Yue over with a kick, no one dared to provoke him anymore.


    Everyone knew that the large yellow bull next to him was not to be trifled with.


    In the marketplace, Ye Yuan found a lot of good stuff.


    On the day of departure, Ye Yuan already could not wait for it.


    Chen Tai arrived before everyone and said with clasped hands, ��Thank you, fellow daoists; Chen Tai is endlessly grateful! The Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm opening this time, this sect promises everyone that as long as we find Ancestor Jadetrue��s Heavenspan Mountain, we won��t take anything else! But, if anyone wants to snatch the Heavenspan Mountain from this sect, the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect will be irreconcilable till death with them! Although our Ancestor Zhengxin is in closed-seclusion all year round, if you really provoke him into taking action, it��s likely that no one will gain any advantage!��


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he could not resist exchanging a glance with Big Yellow.


    Although he did not know Lu Zhengxin this name, he guessed it too.


    This Chen Tai actually used a dead person to threaten everyone. It was really impressive enough.


    However, Ye Yuan naturally would not express anything. If he showed it, it would mean that he was killed by him.


    There was no benefit apart from becoming the common target for scorn.


    Moreover, there were likely hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the Jade Sovereign Heavens present!


    ��Sect Master Chen, rest assured. We only seek natural treasures and won��t fight with you!��


    ��Yeah, we��re entering the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm merely in order to seek a lucky chance to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��That��s your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s; we won��t snatch it!��


    �� ��


    The moment Chen Tai said it, everyone��s hearts turned fearful, making their positions known one after another.


    Legends had it that the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was still hiding a Saint Sovereign Heaven. No one knew whether it was real or fake.


    But most believed it.


    After all, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was once True Yang��s number one sect, its foundation being extremely deep.


    Seeing everyone make known their positions, Chen Tai was very satisfied too and said with a nod, ��Alright, everyone, let��s set off!��


    ��Wait a minute!��


    Everyone was just about to move out when Tang Quan spoke up.


    Seeing him open his mouth, everyone knew that there was a show to watch.


    These few days, they had been curious all along.


    The Seven-star Heavenly Sect was not easy to deal with.


    Got slapped in the face for no reason, but did not fight back.


    Everyone was finding it odd. But they did not expect that Tang Quan was waiting here.


    ��What is it, Elder Tang?�� Chen Tai asked.


    Tang Quan looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and said coolly, ��Wei Yu is our Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s next sect master. Someone actually dared to slap his face. It��s equivalent to slapping our Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s face! In this True Yang Heavenly Domain, no one dares to slap my Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s face yet! Today, in front of everyone, we naturally have to gain back this face.��


    Everyone present was shrewd. They naturally knew Tang Quan��s intention of doing so.


    He was using this incident to shock all of the True Yang heavenly sect��s powerhouses, that his Seven-star Heavenly Sect was not to be provoked!


    In reality, there were really not many people who dared to provoke the Seven-star Heavenly Sect.


    Even if the other person��s strength was lacking.


    But Ye Yuan was one of those few people.


    When Wei Yu saw Tang Quan speak up, he looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Punk, today, kneel down and acknowledge your fault in front of everybody, and waste your own cultivation. Then, deliver that large yellow bull to the Seven-star Heavenly Sect. This matter will be considered dropped. Otherwise, you can forget about going anywhere today!��


    When everyone heard, they could not help secretly applauding.


    Wei Yu was well-deserving of being a sect master successor, his mind was very meticulous too.


    He had clearly seen through this large yellow bull��s extraordinariness too, that was why he would say that.


    If the Seven-star Heavenly Sect obtained Big Yellow and groomed him, he would surely be a major combat force in the future!

    ��It��s fun now! With a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven taking action, that punk can��t be arrogant anymore, right?��


    ��It felt great when slapping faces, but the consequences are very severe!��


    ��He could have provoked others, but he had to provoke True Yang��s number one major sect, Seven-star Heavenly Sect. An ascender, really acting recklessly and blindly!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Tang Quan speak up, many people harbored the idea of gloating over others�� misfortune.


    The vast majority present were all indigenous powerhouses. They were not welcoming to ascenders to begin with.


    They naturally did not want Ye Yuan to ride on their heads.


    Chen Tai��s eyes also narrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��There��s actually such a thing? Boy, you actually dare to make a move against the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s people on the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s territory! Kneel down now and apologize to Elder Tang. This sect can guarantee you from death!��


    Lu Zhengxin was already dead. Jadetrue Heavenly Sect needed a powerful ally.


    Seven-star Heavenly Sect was obviously the best ally.


    Why would he care about the life and death of an ascender?


    Befriending Tang Quan in this matter was naturally a great deal.


    It was just that he did not know that the ones who killed Lu Zhengxin and plunged the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect into an unprecedented crisis, was precisely Ye Yuan and Big Yellow!


    With Chen Tai making his stance known, it held tremendous weight.


    With two great heavenly sects making their positions known at the same time, if Ye Yuan did not lower his head, there would be no place to shelter him in the True Yang Heavenly Domain anymore.


    ��Hey, boy, lower your head and admit your mistake! Looking on the account of Big Yellow��s face, I��ll come forward to mediate things for you in a while and preserve your cultivation. Presumably, they will still give me some face.��


    Taoist Wu Fang already squeezed beside Ye Yuan without knowing when and whispered in his ear.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance rather surprisedly. He did not expect that this guy would actually say something like this.


    Becoming enemies with two great heavenly sects at this time, at least one could tell that Taoist Wu Fang was a fanatic too.


    For a prey that he was interested in, he could act regardless of the consequences.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��No need. Just these few trash, I haven��t taken them seriously yet.��


    Taoist Wu Fang scoffed and said, ��Boy, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself! You probably don��t know what half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven means! Furthermore, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect has more than just Tang Quan, one half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Being able to become True Yang��s number one heavenly sect, how could the Seven-star Heavenly Sect be underestimated?


    Half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was merely the standard for the sect.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and looked at Chen Tai as he said, ��Sect Master Chen��s warning earlier was very overbearing! These few days at Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, I discovered that the scenery at the back mountain is really not bad!��


    As soon as these words came out, the others did not feel anything off, but Chen Tai��s head exploded with a bang.


    Stormy waves immediately set off in his heart.


    This was a warning!


    What did he warn just now?


    He was warning everyone using Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    Then what did the back mountain represent?


    The Jadefork Peak was precisely the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s back mountain!


    Linking these two points together, its meaning was already self-explanatory!


    Ye Yuan was clearly saying this: your Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s Saint Sovereign Heaven is already dead, you��re still threatening people here?


    Truly laughable!


    Lu Zhengxin��s demise, this was absolutely a secret among secrets.


    In the entire Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, only he and Head Elder two people knew about it.


    Then how did Ye Yuan know?


    There was only one possibility!


    Lu Zhengxin��s demise had inescapable connections with Ye Yuan!


    Having murdered someone, one should originally deal with things in a low-key manner.


    But Ye Yuan actually hinted him in such a grand manner.


    F*cking hell, too arrogant!


    Chen Tai wished to immediately blow Ye Yuan up right now.


    But he could not!


    As long as Ye Yuan said it out, that Jadetrue Heavenly Sect currently no longer had a Saint Sovereign Heaven to hold down the fort, the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect would really be finished


    Weren��t you still using Saint Sovereign Heaven to scare people just now?


    Your Saint Sovereign Heaven isn��t even around anymore, still scaring people?


    Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s crisis was about to arrive immediately!


    Chen Tai��s entire body quivered, glaring at Ye Yuan angrily, virtually about to rampage.


    This guy was telling him that he killed your Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, but you still wanted to use this to threaten him, this was simply shameless to the extreme.


    Yet, he could not do anything to Ye Yuan!


    How aggravating!


    ��Huhu, Sect Master Chen, are you sure that �� you want me to kneel down and admit my fault?�� Ye Yuan looked at Chen Tai and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Chen Tai��s expression changed over and over again. Finally, he retreated to one side, having an appearance like it did not concern him.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with shock.


    What happened?


    That brat��s one sentence made Sect Master Chen stay a good distance away?


    A heavenly sect��s sect master, that was definitely an overlord level existence.


    If Saint Sovereign did not emerge, who could contend!


    This kind of overlord was actually persuaded to withdraw by an unknown punk!


    The shock in their hearts could be imagined.


    Tang Quan��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Sect Master Chen, what��s the meaning of this?��


    Chen Tai drew a deep breath and said coolly, ��There��s no meaning. This matter, my Jadetrue Heavenly Sect can��t intervene!��


    Tang Quan��s expression changed and he said with a cold snort, ��Very good! This Tang has had a taste of it!��


    Chen Tai only felt bitterness in his mouth. He had offended the Seven-star Heavenly Sect now.


    But he had no choice!


    Choosing the lesser of two evils, he could only choose to offend the Seven-star Heavenly Sect.


    ��However, the people that my Seven-star Heavenly Sect wants to quell, we don��t need to borrow other people��s power at all! Boy, this elder will give you one last chance, kneel, or not?�� Tang Quan looked at Ye Yuan and said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan looked at Tang Quan and said with a smile, ��Yammering until now, isn��t it just for the sake of posturing? It��s just a pity that you found the wrong target!��


    Tang Quan��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly already genuinely enraged.


    He gave a cold snort and said, ��Very good! It has already been many years since anyone dared to provoke my Seven-star Heavenly Sect! Today, this elder will kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!��


    Finished talking, he took a step out, his imposing momentum terrifying to the extreme.


    That appearance clearly already had half a foot stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    ��Seven-star Steps, Tiankui Palm! These are Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s two great unique skills! Looks like Elder Tang is genuinely enraged!��


    ��That boy, he doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Does he think that by bringing a chaos aberrant, he��s invincible under the heavens?��


    ��Haha, young people, they always think that they are invincible under the heavens!��


    �� ��


    The moment Tang Quan made his move, the commotion was not what the average half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens could compare to.


    The ultimate skills of Seven-star Heavenly Sect, those were all the True Yang Heavenly Domain��s pinnacle martial techniques.


    The moment it debuted it was absolutely incomparably shocking.


    But Ye Yuan was completely oblivious. He just smiled faintly and said, ��Big Yellow, get coquettish!��


    Big Yellow gave Ye Yuan a resentful look, his body suddenly started contorting.


    ��Master Ye, you��re making things very difficult for Big Yellow!��


    While talk was talk, Big Yellow still unleashed the Coquettish Profligate Hoof!


    ��Pffft!��


    Seeing a bull pose in a flirtatious and seductive manner, everyone simmered with laughter and burst out laughing.


    This scene was seriously too comical.


    Tang Quan��s Seven-star Steps was swift to the extreme.


    In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    It was also right at this moment that Big Yellow unleashed his hoof!


    This hoof seemed slow but was fast in reality, and it reached first despite launching later.


    Bang!


    Tang Quan��s face was directly kicked solidly by this hoof and he flew out.


    The whole place was deathly silent!


    No one expected that even when the half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven Tang Quan took action, it was still the same!

 Chapter 2734 - This Place is My Hometown!

    Chapter 2734: This Place is My Hometown!


    Tang Quan got up, the bull hoof print on his face clearly visible.


    Many people were simmering with laughter, secretly laughing.


    Half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, they were apex existences in the Five Great Heavenly Regions too.


    But now, there was an additional bull hoof print on his face. Thinking about it felt hilarious too.


    Of course, this was because Big Yellow did not use his true strength. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as leaving behind a mark.


    Even if it was a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, this hoof would also make his head explode.


    The Coquettish Profligate Hoof was no joke.


    ��Is this your Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s prestige? Looks like it��s nothing more than this! This time, I��ll let you all remember it better. If you don��t have sufficient strength, don��t posture in front of so many people. Big Yellow, help sink it into the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s people��s memories.��


    The moment these words came out, each and every one of the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s people lost their souls.


    However, they did not have time to react at all and Big Yellow already arrived in front of their faces.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Big Yellow kicked his hooves extremely fast. Ordinary Jade Sovereign Heavens could not react at all.


    In a blink, each of the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s Jade Sovereign Heavens had a bull hoof print left on their faces.


    Of course, there were two on Tang Quan��s face.


    He still failed to avoid this hoof.


    Wei Yu was even depressed until the verge of vomiting blood. This was the third time!


    Each and every one of the powerhouses present was dumbstruck with amazement.


    They already overestimated Big Yellow��s strength as much as possible. Who knew that they still underestimated it.


    But the problem was, Big Yellow clearly did not utilize any strength. How did he do it?


    No matter what, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s face was considered to have been slapped ruthlessly once again.


    As True Yang��s number one major sect, when had the Seven-star Heavenly Sect endured this kind of frustration before?


    Yet, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    Getting their faces slapped, they could only swallow the insult and humiliation silently, and follow the main force forward.


    Hundreds of Jade Sovereign Heavens moved in a mighty contingent and marched for Inklight Forest.


    Just arriving at Inklight Forest, Ye Yuan already saw a cluster of bloody light surging towards the sky.


    This bloody light stirred the soul, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.


    When Ye Yuan saw this, his complexion could not help turning pale.


    Getting close, Ye Yuan discovered that the origin of the bloody light was precisely the place that he sealed back then.


    It was just that now, the seal had long already disappeared without a trace.


    ��Fellow Daoists, I wonder who��s willing to take the lead?�� Chen Tai said.


    ��Big Yellow, let��s enter!�� Ye Yuan said without thinking.


    When Big Yellow saw Ye Yuan��s complexion, he had long already guessed something. At once, he did not say anything either, directly bringing Ye Yuan and rushing into the bloody light.


    A terrifying power surged out of the bloody light as if going to grind Ye Yuan two people up.


    But Big Yellow gave a cold snort and stomped with his bull hoof. That surge of power was immediately dispersed.


    Swoosh!


    The two person��s figure immediately vanished.


    Everyone exchanged glances, uncertain what it meant.


    But right at this time, there were several figures that rushed straight into the bloody light passageway again.


    The others were not willing to fall behind too, following one after another.


    In reality, the power of this bloody light had already diminished significantly now.


    These people were all Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, going in was naturally not hard.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, his body immediately having a feeling of fusing together in perfect harmony.


    This feeling was very intimate.


    This was the feeling of returning home!


    Fortunately, the Heavenspan World was still the Heavenspan World. Apart from bloody light filling the sky, there did not seem to be too much of a change.


    And this cluster of bloody light actually rose up from beneath his feet, teeming the entire Heavenspan World!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing at was none other than precisely the place where the Heavenspan Mountain was originally at.


    Further up was the plane passageway that led to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not expect that there was actually a passageway below the Heavenspan Mountain too!


    ��Interesting! I didn��t expect that this inconspicuous small chiliocosm actually connects to two major planes! Over there seems to be a dilapidated continent! Ye Yuan brat, is this your hometown?�� In his sea of consciousness, came Mi Tian��s exclamation.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, his expression very ugly.


    His divine sense already swept the entire Heavenspan World just now, but he did not discover the figures of Li-er and the rest.


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, the moment he released his divine sense, he would be able to instantly cover the entire Heavenspan World.


    But he scanned several times after returning, and yet, there were no traces at all.


    The people on intimate terms with Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli, White Light, Li-er, and the rest were actually all not around!


    The present Heavenspan World no longer had any secrets to speak of to him.


    He did not believe that there was anywhere that could deceive his divine sense.


    Then, where did Li-er they all go?


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    One figure after another came out of the plane passageway and landed in the Heavenspan World.


    ��Eh, it turns out that it��s a small chiliocosm! The ants here are all so weak! There��s actually not even a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse! This kind of ants are not worthy to live in this world, why don��t �� I send them off!��


    Boom!


    His voice had yet to fade when a streak of sword light flashed past.


    The person who was talking just now was already reduced to dregs.


    Everyone��s faces turned apprehensive.


    Because the one who unleashed this streak of sword light was none other than precisely Ye Yuan!


    What he was holding in his hand was precisely the Dragon Spring Sword!


    That person who was talking just now was an elder of one of the seven great heavenly sects, Dazzling Cloud Heavenly Sect. His strength already reached upper Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    But, under Ye Yuan��s sword, he did not even last a single breath.


    In everyone��s impression, Ye Yuan was merely a rookie that was hiding behind Big Yellow, that was all. No one really took him seriously.


    But the moment he made his move just now, everyone was shocked.


    This punk was not a soft persimmon!


    ��Boy, are you crazy? My Dazzling Cloud Heavenly Sect��s elder merely said a sentence and you killed him?��


    The one speaking was Dazzling Cloud Heavenly Sect��s head elder, Tang Yihe, who was similarly a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said in a cold voice, ��I am the ant that he was talking about! He wants to exterminate ants like me, could it be that I, this ant, can��t kill him?��


    Li-er and the rest disappeared, Ye Yuan was currently in a violent rage.


    Yet, at this time, that person talked nonsense about exterminating the Heavenspan World��s ��ants��; how could Ye Yuan not be furious?


    Heavenly Stratum powerhouses coming to the Lower Realms would always have a huge sense of superiority.


    Back then, Jun Tian was merely a measly little Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum and he was the same.


    Let alone these Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratums that were standing high above the masses!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over all their faces and emphasized each word, ��This place is my hometown! Whoever makes a move here, I��ll kill them!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone revealed looks of disbelief.


    No one expected that Ye Yuan actually ascended from here!


    Because they felt it, this small chiliocosm was a small chiliocosm that had Heavenly Dao missing!


    Or should one say, this was a small chiliocosm that had been altered by someone before.


    It was impossible for someone to ascend from here!


    But Ye Yuan emerged!


    How could they not be surprised?


    ��Huhu, a mere lower Jade Sovereign Heaven, truly arrogant to the extreme! Do you really think that no one can handle you?��


    At this time, a young man who looked 17 or 18 years old walked out of the crowd.


    With each step that the young man took, his imposing momentum rose frenziedly.


    In the end, it actually reached the level of Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    When Tang Quan and Wei Yu saw this person, their faces revealed a look of wild ecstasy and they yelled, ��Saint Exalt Waycloud, you actually came!��

 Chapter 2735 - Momentary Slip of the Tongue!

    Chapter 2735: Momentary Slip of the Tongue!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s Saint Exalt Waycloud! He hasn��t come into being for thousands of years. I didn��t expect that he would actually make a move this time!��


    ��The mystic realm trip this time actually alarmed even the Saint Exalt powerhouses! Looks like it��s not as simple as we imagined!��


    ��There��s a show to watch now! I want to see how this boy plans on dealing with it!��


    �� ��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s appearance greatly enhanced the morale of the Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s side.


    No one expected that a Saint Exalt would actually be lurking among them.


    Saint Exalt comprehended Heavenly Dao rules, if they had the intention of hiding, the rest definitely could not tell, just like Big Yellow.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud looked at Ye Yuan and said disdainfully, ��Bringing along a brute and you think that you��re invincible under the heavens already? Boy, hand over the grandmist treasure in your hands, and this exalt can spare you from death!��


    The moment everyone heard, they came to a sudden realization.


    Previously, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect had their faces slapped by Ye Yuan time and again, but Saint Exalt Waycloud did not take action.


    In his view, this was merely a children��s squabble.


    In front of a Saint Sovereign Heaven, a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was merely so-so too.


    But, when Ye Yuan took out the grandmist treasure, it was not up to him to not be moved anymore!


    Grandmist treasure could only unleash their true power in the hands of Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Therefore, he made his move.


    ��Scram!�� Ye Yuan only replied to him with one word.


    His mind was currently in a whirl and he had long already lost his composure from before.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud jumping out now had no other use other than infuriating him.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s brows furrowed and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, looks like you still don��t understand what��s called Saint Sovereign Heaven! Is this place your hometown? Huhu, very good!��


    Done talking, Waycloud raised his hand slightly, and the entire world started trembling.


    When Ye Yuan returned, he discovered that the Heavenspan World became much more stable!


    If it was like before he ascended, that sword earlier would have made the Heavenspan World fall apart to pieces.


    However, when a Saint Sovereign Heaven made his move, how could the momentum be of the common sort?


    Seeing Saint Exalt Waycloud make his move, Wei Yu��s face was full of smugness.


    Letting Ye Yuan feel sorrow like cutting into his flesh, he felt really great!


    Suffering a loss time and again in front of Ye Yuan made his killing intent towards Ye Yuan climb to its peak too.


    A mere Lower Realms ant, what right did he have to shit and piss on his head?


    Apart from that, Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s powerhouses were also very invigorated.


    Saint Exalt, was their Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s true power!


    ��Bullshit Saint Sovereign Heaven, is it very impressive? Big Yellow!�� Ye Yuan said icily.


    Actually, without waiting for Ye Yuan to give the order, Ye Yuan��s Coquettish Profligate Hoof already made an appearance.


    But this time, the power of Saint Sovereign Heaven erupted!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was currently planning on demonstrating his own martial prowess. With his cultivation realm, he did not need to exert his full strength to slaughter the people of the Heavenspan World.


    But Big Yellow��s hoof held tremendous power!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was caught by surprise and directly took a kick to his face.


    Bang!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was directly kicked a hundred thousand feet away, his entire face bleeding, looking wretched to the extreme.


    How did the current Saint Exalt Waycloud still have any airs of an expert?


    One had to know, Big Yellow��s Coquettish Profligate Hoof was what even the three tribulations Saint Sovereign Heaven, Lu Zhengxin, could not withstand.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud had not even reached the first tribulation yet. This kick landing, he was already seriously wounded.


    He looked at Big Yellow with a look of horror, his expression changing as he said, ��S-Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Just as the others did not discover that he was Saint Sovereign Heaven, Saint Exalt Waycloud also did not discover that Big Yellow was Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Currently, Big Yellow exposing his true strength, everyone felt shocked to the core.


    It was not that they were stupid, but that Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were too rare.


    There were only so few Saint Sovereign Heavens on the entire Rainclear Continent. They could be counted.


    But who could have thought that a Saint Exalt true spirit was actually willing to be a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven��s mount?


    They saw Ye Yuan ride on Big Yellow��s body with their own eyes!


    Big Yellow looked at Saint Exalt Waycloud coldly and said disdainfully, ��You scolded this exalt a brute just now?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s heart thumped and he hurriedly said, ��N-Not at all! S-Slip of the tongue! Just now, it was just a momentary slip of the tongue!��


    Big Yellow smiled coldly and said, ��You wanted Master Ye��s grandmist treasure earlier?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud only felt bitterness and said, ��N-No! Just now, it was just a momentary impulse!��


    Big Yellow continued, ��Just now, you wanted to destroy Master Ye��s hometown?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud only had a bitter smile left as he shook his head and said, ��Mistake, it was really just a mistake!��


    If really want a fair fight, even if Saint Exalt Waycloud was not Big Yellow��s match, it would also not be to an extent of being in such a tight corner.


    But Big Yellow��s sudden hoof attack earlier really had a powerful effect.


    Fighting again at this time, he had no hope at all.


    So, he could only submit.


    Coming here, his goal was the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm��s natural treasures.


    There was completely no need to fight to the bitter end with Big Yellow right now.


    The true strength that Big Yellow displayed also made all the powerhouses speculate one after another.


    ��Really didn��t expect that the large yellow bull is actually a Saint Exalt true spirit!��


    ��I heard that there��s a Saint Exalt in the Myriad Demons Mountain whose true body is that of a bull, could it be him?��


    ��Hang on! Why would a Lord Saint Exalt willingly be a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven��s mount? Just what background does that young man have?��


    �� ��


    At this time, there were a series of question marks above everyone��s heads.


    This kind of thing, they could not figure it out even if they racked their brains too.


    However, Ye Yuan ignored their guesses and just said coolly, ��Cripple that guy and this matter will be considered dropped. Otherwise, it��s irreconcilable till death! No one can think about entering the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm without determining a victor!��


    But when he spoke, Ye Yuan pointed at Wei Yu.


    This guy had already been jumping up and down a few times.


    Previously, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to haggle over it with him. But now, Ye Yuan was very angry and very irritable, so he was going to take action!


    When Wei Yu heard that, his expression could not help changing wildly and he said, ��Who the hell do you think you are, to actually dare command a Saint Exalt what to do? Saint Exalt Waycloud, I��m the successor appointed by Sect Master! Y-You can��t get turned against me!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud gave a cold snort and suddenly pointed a finger out.


    Boom!


    Wei Yu was directly blown into a cloud of blood mist.


    The Seven-star Heavenly Sect��s successor died just like that!


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter.


    From Jadetrue Heavenly Sect to the Heavenspan World, they were all waiting to watch Ye Yuan make a fool of himself.


    But in the end, Wei Yu became the fool, and the Seven-star Heavenly Star became the joke!


    It was actually a Saint Exalt true spirit following by Ye Yuan��s side!


    Even Saint Exalt Waycloud, this kind of powerful existence, had no choice but to submit too.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud drew a deep breath and said, ��Are you satisfied with this?��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and said, ��I know that there are still some hidden Saint Sovereign Heavens among you guys. You all go to the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm to vie for your lucky chances! I��m very vexed right now, so don��t provoke me! I used my life to guard this world. Whoever dares to touch a single hair of it, I��ll never rest until he��s dead!��


    This was a blatant threat, but the powerhouses present did not dare to really provoke Ye Yuan anymore.


    He had the capital to threaten everyone!


    Moreover, they all came to seek lucky chances.. There was no need to make trouble with Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2736 - Unexpected Person!

    Chapter 2736: Unexpected Person!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    All the powerhouses present no longer have their tempers. They all went toward the passageway below in succession.


    There was the entrance to the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud hesitated for a bit, but still cupped his fists at Big Yellow and said, ��I wonder if Fellow Daoist is the Myriad Demons Mountain��s Saint Exalt Bull Demon?��


    Big Yellow said coolly, ��Nay! This exalt is Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s head commander!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s expression changed, his heart being in disarray.


    When did Myriad Demons Mountain have one more Saint Exalt?


    It seemed like the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� news was somewhat outdated.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud hesitated for a bit, but he still said, ��Pardon me for being forthright, but your esteemed self is a dignified Saint Exalt, how can you be the mount for a lower Jade Sovereign Heaven? This �� This is insulting the majesty of Saint Exalts!��


    Big Yellow��s nostrils turned to the sky and he said coolly, ��This exalt is happy. Do you have any objections?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was choked badly enough and could only leave in embarrassment.


    Several hundred Jade Sovereign Heavens entered Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm one after another. Only Ye Yuan did not move a muscle.


    After everyone left, Ye Yuan arrived at Heavenly Eagle Imperial City with a teleport.


    In reality, this place was no longer Heavenly Eagle Imperial City but became the Heavenspan World��s holy land.


    The deed of Ye Yuan battling Jun Tian alone and saving the Heavenspan World had already become a legend here.


    This place remained the same, but the people were gone!


    Ye Yuan��s divine sense swept over and over again and discovered that it was not just Li-er they all who had disappeared.


    As long as it was someone who had associated with Ye Yuan before, they had actually all disappeared without a trace now!


    What was going on?


    In fact, even those people in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the Jian Family��s people, Ning Family��s people, have all vanished without a trace too!


    Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that he seemed to have fallen into a huge conspiracy!


    The person who abducted Yue Mengli they all knew too much about him.


    The other party understood until they knew his experiences growing up all the way, like the back of their hand!


    But he had already turned the nine Dao Ancestors into his vassals before he left.


    The nine great Dao Ancestors were already the Heavenspan World��s strongest force. Who was the other party, to actually have such powerful strength?


    Could it be that a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse was hidden in this Heavenspan World?


    ��Friend, I want to meet the nine great Dao Ancestors. Do you know where they are?�� Ye Yuan stopped a Deva Fourth Blight powerhouse and asked.


    ��Dao Ancestor? What��s that?�� The other party answered.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Then do you know who Ye Yuan is?��


    The moment the other person heard, he immediately said with deep veneration, ��Ye Yuan is our savior! His contributions are unparalleled, and his accomplishments surpass ancient and modern times!��


    Ye Yuan asked again, ��Then do you know where the people related to him went?��


    The moment the other party heard, he shook his head blankly and said, ��The savior is the savior. Who would go and care about the people around him?��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed even harder.


    He discovered that his traces had already been completely erased by someone, leaving behind only a savior.


    The world only knew of Ye Yuan, but they did not know that there were nine Dao Ancestors!


    The people related to Ye Yuan had also all disappeared without a trace!


    ��Looks like your road of growing up was just a certain existence��s conspiracy! When you were growing up, there has always been a pair of eyes behind you, watching you!�� Mi Tian suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan only felt his back turn cold!


    Who was the other party?


    What did he want to do?


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, his head suddenly exploding, thinking of someone!


    Yan Jadetrue!


    This Heavenspan World was a scheme single-handedly arranged by him in the first place!


    If talking about who was most likely to do this, then the greatest possibility was him!


    Ye Yuan discovered that he had always been stuck in a fixed mindset.


    That was that Yan Jadetrue was already dead.


    But who had seen that he really died?


    The people in the same era as him had long since disappeared.


    Even Zhuo Bufan had also embarked on the road to the south.


    Then was he really dead?


    Not necessarily!


    ��Huhu, looks like you��ve already guessed it! As expected, worthy of being the person that I chose!�� The Deva Fourth Blight who was stopped by Ye Yuan suddenly emitted a strange laugh from his mouth.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body shook, staring fixedly at the other party, and discovered that the look in the other party��s eyes had already changed.


    As if he had become another person.


    ��Yan Jadetrue!�� Ye Yuan enunciated each word.


    ��It��s me!��


    The other party did not deny it, but he smiled and said, ��Your improvement is faster than I imagined! What I didn��t expect is that the Heavenspan Mountain actually evolved into a grandmist treasure in your hands!��


    Ye Yuan never dreamed that the Saint Exalt Jadetrue who had once commanded the Five Great Heavenly Regions, the Heavenspan Mountain��s former master, was actually not dead yet!


    ��What the hell do you want to do? Where is Li-er they all?�� Ye Yuan��s tone was almost freezing this world.


    Ye Yuan was virtually on the verge of going berserk right now.


    At the thought of his growth, how there had always been a pair of eyes watching behind him, he felt a chill without it being cold.


    Let alone that Yan Jadetrue actually even kidnapped Li-er they all.


    Yan Jadetrue smiled lightly and said, ��Ye Yuan, you��re the smartest and most talented person that I��ve met! Even when compared to Zhuo Bufan, you��re not the least bit inferior too! Therefore, you should have already guessed what I want to do, right?��


    Ye Yuan suppressed the fury in his heart and said in a solemn voice, ��You want me to enter the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm?��


    Ye Yuan was not stupid. With the plane passageway suddenly erupting and the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm suddenly opening up, it likely had everything to do with Yan Jadetrue.


    Otherwise, why would such a sudden turn of events occur when everything was perfectly fine?


    Yan Jadetrue caused such a big commotion. It was clearly in order to make everyone enter the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm.


    Of course, he wanted to make Ye Yuan enter the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm most of all.


    But it was clearly impossible for Ye Yuan to give in obediently. That was why he kidnapped Li-er and the rest.


    Everyone and everything, all seemed to be under Yan Jadetrue��s control.


    ��Smart! Dealing with you, even if it��s me, I have to be careful too. Therefore, for safety��s sake, I sent your lover and all the people related to you into thousands of small chiliocosms. Only I know their locations! Of course, they are all very safe. As long as you listen and behave obediently, they will always be very safe!�� Yan Jadetrue said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yan Jadetrue coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��You searched for successors with the Heart of Heavenspan to break through the Heavenspan World��s barriers and become a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse! The purpose was for today?��


    Yan Jadetrue��s appearance made Ye Yuan think of many things.


    From the time Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove obtained the Heart of Heavenspan, to the series of events that happened later on, it seemed like just a coincidence.


    But, looking back now, everything was inevitable!


    It was just that Ye Yuan could not figure it out. Yan Jadetrue��s means were exceedingly formidable, why did he have to look for successors in the Lower Realms?


    Yan Jadetrue smiled and said, ��I said before, you��re very smart! So, your decision is?��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said in a cold voice, ��Do I still have a choice?��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, you don��t have a trace of flaw from head to toe. Your only flaw is that you attach too much importance to the people around you! And this is also an important reason why I chose you!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan already recovered his calm and said coolly, ��Tell me, what do you want me to do?��


    Yan Jadetrue said, ��Go to the Labyrinth Divine Palace and help me get something!��

 Chapter 2737 - I’m Familiar with This Place!

    Chapter 2737: I��m Familiar with This Place!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Labyrinth Divine Palace!��


    Hearing this name, Mi Tian could not help exclaiming in surprise.


    Ye Yuan was also surprised. A place that could make Mi Tian cry out in surprise was definitely not a simple place.


    Up until now, there was only the Myriad Realms Mountain that could truly surprise Mi Tian.


    Of course, Ye Yuan remained unmoved on the surface.


    ��Senior, you know the Labyrinth Divine Palace?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    Mi Tian did not answer Ye Yuan, but muttered to himself, ��I didn��t expect that where this place connects to is actually the Heaven Fragmented Continent! Kid, promise him first.��


    That tone carried a strong sense of nostalgia.


    ��But ���� Ye Yuan somewhat hesitated as he said.


    At a conservative estimate, Yan Jadetrue had middle Saint Sovereign Heaven strength back then too.


    Furthermore, he was not an average middle Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Something that even Yan Jadetrue could not get, could he, a puny little Jade Sovereign Heaven, get it?


    ��I��m familiar with the place!�� Mi Tian did not explain too much and just said these four light-sounding words.


    But Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth and said, ��Okay!��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled and said, ��Very good! He who understands the times is a wise man! There��s something in the Labyrinth Divine Palace called Voidsnap Immortal Condensation! You bring it out, and this exalt will naturally let your sweetheart go.��


    ��Alright, deal!�� Ye Yuan did not waste his breath either, agreeing readily.


    Of course, he had no choice either.


    That Yan Jadetrue smiled strangely and immediately fell softly to the ground.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, arriving at the entrance to the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm with a teleport.


    Ye Yuan had his own judgment about Yan Jadetrue too.


    That guy must have been seriously injured back then, even being on the verge of death. That was why he lay dormant in the Heavenspan World.


    With his Saint Sovereign Heaven strength, even if Ye Yuan broke through to Heavenly Stratum, it was impossible to find him too.


    Probably until now, Yan Jadetrue had not recovered to his peak state either.


    ��Senior, what��s this Voidsnap Immortal Condensation?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    ��Voidsnap Immortal Condensation, it��s a chaos variant with the ability to seize heaven��s good fortune. That little fellow probably wants this item in order to break through to the realm of True Sovereign Heaven!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed slightly and he said, ��In that case, he��s already grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    Mi Tian chuckled and said, ��If you know what the Heaven Fragmented Continent is, you wouldn��t be making such a big fuss. Come on. Go in first. In this world, your every action and movement can��t escape his surveillance.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and took a step out, entering another space.


    Suddenly, abundance landed in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    Thick spiritual energy even made Ye Yuan feel a little short of breath.


    ��Such rich spiritual energy!�� Even Big Yellow could not resist exclaiming in surprise too.


    ��This space is so weird! It��s actually even richer than Rainclear Continent��s spiritual energy! The power of rules here is also the 33 Heavens�� rules!�� Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    This was clearly an independent space that looked like a small world.


    But Ye Yuan felt like he had returned to the 33 Heavens!


    Furthermore, this place gave Ye Yuan an extremely dangerous feeling.


    It was really hard to imagine that the Heavenspan World was actually connected to such a strange space.


    ��Huhu, it��s indeed the Heaven Fragmented Continent! That fool is giving you a lucky chance!��


    Arriving at this world, Mi Tian was no longer acting in a secretive manner either, directly making a sound.


    ��Lucky chance?�� Big Yellow was taken aback.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Do you all know what the Labyrinth Divine Palace is?��


    Ye Yuan did not speak, waiting quietly for Mi Tian to continue.


    ��The Labyrinth Divine Palace was once a major force that covered all the heavens, powerhouses plentiful like clouds, flourishing for a period of time! They were once Crimson Bright and Yang Heaven��s strongest sect, and not one of! But sadly, this sect was too ambitious, to actually want to unify the 33 Heavens! However, their strength was really strong too. The Labyrinth Divine Palace expanded continuously and virtually swept across more than half of the 33 Heavens�� territory!��


    ��In the end, it finally provoked the hegemons of the heavens to move out, triggering the All Heavens War! That battle fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, all the heavens collapsing! This isn��t a description. It was really that heaven was rent asunder and the earth cracked! Labyrinth Divine Palace��s sects along with an entire continent were directly shattered, drifting into chaos! This is also the origin of the Heaven Fragmented Continent. I didn��t expect that it actually fell here!��


    Ye Yuan and Big Yellow listened, and they could not help drawing a breath of cold air.


    How stable was the 33 Heavens�� space?


    Not entering Jade Sovereign Heaven, one could not even fly for a long time.


    But the All Heavens War actually drove an entire continent into the void.


    That level of battle, how grand and torrential was it? How abnormally tragic was it?


    ��Hegemons of the heavens ����


    Ye Yuan muttered and said, ��Senior, hegemons of the heavens �� what kind of strength is that?��


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��The strength of hegemons of the heavens isn��t what you can imagine currently! You just have to know, they can access heaven and penetrate the earth, reverse heaven and earth, and are omnipotent! In your Rainclear Continent, Saint Sovereign Heavens can be called Saint Exalts. But, in front of a faction like the Labyrinth Divine Palace, Saint Sovereign Heavens doesn��t even have the qualifications to guard the door! Rainclear Continent is merely a corner of the 33 Heavens where spiritual energy is scarce, that��s all.��


    ��You guys should have felt the spiritual energy here. At its heyday, Heaven Fragmented Continent��s spiritual energy was a hundred times of this place! Under such an environment, what does mere Saint Sovereign Heaven could as?��


    Ye Yuan felt an upsurge of emotion as he listened. Only then did he realize his insignificance. He was sitting in the well and looking at the sky!


    ��Senior, could it be that you �� were a hegemon of the heavens too?�� Big Yellow asked curiously.


    Mi Tian said coolly, ��True members of the Dragon Clan are born in chaos and equal to heaven! They are Hegemon Realm when born, what do you think?��


    Big Yellow opened his bull eyes wide, opening his mouth wide, a dumbfounded look on his face.


    Born as a Hegemon!


    This was really too demoralizing.


    All sentient beings went against heavens, going through countless tribulations, before they could corroborate their Dao as Heavenly Stratum.


    But some people were already born at the finish point.


    Was it aggravating or not?


    But Ye Yuan��s gaze flickered and he suddenly said, ��Senior, you said that Hegemon Realm can access heaven and penetrate the earth and reverse heaven and earth! Then, if I reach the realm of Hegemon, can I resurrect the dead?��


    He suddenly remembered that hint of undulation in front of his father��s grave after he killed Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang with his own hands and asked with a hint of hope.


    ��That will depend on who it is! It��s true that Hegemon Realm reverses heaven and earth, but everyone��s ability is different. However, I know that the Lord of Samsara indeed has the ability to revere Yin and Yang. Of course, he��s also not omnipotent. He can revive some people, but others, he can��t,�� Mi Tian said.


    Mi Tian said it lightly, but Ye Yuan��s eyes radiated a brilliant light.


    Looks like that hint of undulation that he had once felt, was not an illusion!


    Maybe, his father really had hopes of resurrecting!


    However, he had to have adequate strength first.


    Otherwise, how could he talk to the Lord of Samsara, this level of powerhouse?


    ��Many thanks to Senior for clarifying my doubts! The Labyrinth Divine Palace trip this time, I��ll have to trouble Senior!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��No need to thank me, the faster your strength improves, the sooner I can go home! However, this Heaven Fragmented Continent has really withered! That bunch of fools, they have already started to take the road to ruin.. Those 13 Saint Sovereign Heavens, do they regard themselves as infallible? Come on, let��s go and join them,�� Mi Tian said with a smile.

 Chapter 2738 - Bloodcentral Devil Vine!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��That��s South Fighting Sky Sunflower!��


    ��Water Mirror Immortal Pistil!��


    ��My God, these are all grade four and grade five heavenly medicines. Natural treasures that are seldom seen outside are everywhere here!��


    �� ��


    There was a large open space ahead.


    On the empty lot, there were all kinds of rare heavenly medicines everywhere.


    When all the powerhouses saw this, each and every one of their eyes turned red.


    With these heavenly medicines, even if they were not refined into heavenly pills, it would be sufficient for them to break through too!


    ��All get lost for this exalt! When is it your turn? Tang Quan, you bring people over and collect all of these heavenly medicines! Don��t leave a single one behind!��


    Right at this time, Saint Exalt Waycloud suddenly erupted with a powerful pressure, making the faces of all the Jade Sovereign Heavens change abruptly.


    With a Saint Sovereign Heaven present, there naturally would not be a share of the good stuff for them.


    Everyone��s expressions were very ugly, this Saint Exalt Waycloud was too overbearing!


    The Seven-star Heavenly Sect ate the meat and actually did not even let them drink the soup.


    While Tang Quan had a look of excitement. In this open space, there were probably thousands of grade four and five heavenly medicines!


    Some of the heavenly medicines, their medicinal properties were virtually overflowing, practically making his cultivation realm loosen up.


    Without a doubt, he would absolutely be able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven after eating them!


    At that time, he would be a Saint Exalt powerhouse too!


    Thinking up to here, Tang Quan was really incredibly excited.


    As for Wei Yu��s death, he no longer cared about it a long time ago.


    ��Huhu, Saint Exalt Waycloud, truly awe-inspiring! I wonder if our Dazzling Cloud Heavenly Sect can collect some?��


    A middle-aged man in inconspicuous clothing walked out of the crowd.


    The man��s aura also rose rapidly!


    Another Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    When Dazzling Cloud Heavenly Sect��s powerhouses saw him, each and every one of them was elated.


    ��Saint Exalt Skyfortune!��


    ��Sorry about that, our Azure Flame Heavenly Sect also wants a share of the loot, wonder if that��s allowed or not?��


    While talking, another figure walked out.


    ��Saint Exalt Yuan Yi!��


    The third Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    The expressions of the hundreds of Jade Sovereign Heavens present changed abruptly.


    Normally, the Saint Exalt powerhouses whose movements and traces were elusive and secretive, three of them actually showed up the moment they appeared!


    ��Huhu, your sect is still really overbearing! Us itinerant cultivators actually can��t even get any share?��


    While talking, another three imposing auras surged to the sky. What could it be if not Saint Sovereign Heavens?


    ��That��s �� Saint Exalt Purplesun!��


    ��There��s also Saint Exalt Chongshan and Saint Exalt Yichen!�� These three are all itinerant Saint Exalt cultivators!��


    ��There are �� actually six great Saint Exalt powerhouses. Wouldn��t we all, these people, become cannon fodders?��


    �� ��


    They clearly did not expect that six great Saint Exalts actually appeared in one go!


    These heavenly medicines that were extremely rare in the outside world moved them.


    Waycloud��s expression was a little ugly.


    He figured that there would be other Saint Exalts coming but did not think that there would be so many.


    Of course, he did not know that there were actually still seven great Saint Exalts that did not reveal their identities.


    These seven people were clearly a little more cautious.


    It was just that, they could hide from the eyes and ears of the other Saint Sovereign Heavens, but they could not hide from Mi Tian��s probing.


    ��Humph! You all are finally willing to show yourselves!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said with a cold snort.


    ��Huhu, seeing so much good stuff around, we naturally have to show yourselves! If we still don��t show ourselves, wouldn��t it all be swallowed up by you alone?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said with a smile.


    ��Showing yourself that early is useless too. Coveting people��s grandmist treasure but in the end, failed to get it and even got your face kicked, why bother?�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune said with a chuckle.


    It was not that no one among these Saint Sovereign Heavens was moved. It was just that they were more cautious than Waycloud.


    Although they also did not believe that Big Yellow was a Saint Exalt true spirit, his performance had indeed been extraordinary.


    True spirits capable of suppressing half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens were not often seen!


    Only Saint Exalt Waycloud could not hold it in and made a move.


    Sure enough, he got covered in stink.


    ��Skyfortune, don��t be smug! That large yellow bull��s strength is extraordinary. He��ll come over in a while. This exalt wants to see how you deal with him!�� Waycloud said with a cold snort.


    ��Therefore, before he comes, let��s hurry up and divide these natural treasures! Could it be that he can still steal it from all of us?�� Saint Exalt Yuan Yi said impatiently.


    His words also made everyone stop quarreling.


    The appearance of six great Saint Exalts made those Jade Sovereign Heavens realize that they probably would not even get to drink soup anymore.


    Especially those itinerant cultivators, it was completely impossible to get anything.


    It was impossible for itinerant Saint Exalt cultivators to speak up for them too.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The six great Saint Exalts practically moved out at the same time, moving toward that stretch of medicinal land.


    Those sect disciples also moved out at the same time.


    At this time, whoever snatched more, whoever would naturally earn a big haul.


    But, right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    There was a wizened ancient tree in the medicinal land.


    This ancient tree was unremarkable previously as if it had already withered up.


    But, when those powerhouses entered the medicinal land, ten thousand thin vines suddenly emerged from the ancient tree.


    Puchi!


    The dozen over Jade Sovereign Heavens that rushed at the forefront were directly pierced through by the thin vines.


    Then their bodies rapidly shriveled up, becoming dried-up corpses.


    The blood essence in their bodies was actually directly sucked dry.


    The six great saint sovereigns rushed at the forefront. At this time, their expressions could not help changing wildly, their bodies immediately erupting with powerful strength.


    Without holding back in the least bit, they directly executed their specialties, chopping towards the thin vines.


    But what shocked them was that those thin vines actually could not be chopped off!


    The full power strike of a Saint Sovereign Heaven actually could not chop these tiny and thin vines off!


    The thin vines only fell back briefly and tangled over again very quickly.


    The six people��s faces changed wildly. How could they still dare to covet the heavenly medicines, flying back one after another?


    ��This is a chaos aberrant, Bloodcentral Devil Vine! Its strength is likely grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven! Everyone, quickly retreat!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud shouted.


    It was easy to enter, but hard to get out.


    These thin vines entangled them frenziedly, not letting them retreat.


    Fortunately, the strength of Saint Sovereign Heavens was indeed fearsome. After experiencing a round of bitter fighting, the six great Saint Sovereign Heavens broke out of the encirclement.


    And those Jade Sovereign Heavens who rushed into the medicinal land, virtually none of them were spared, all being sucked into mummified corpses.


    The ancient tree that absorbed the blood seemed to have been rejuvenated with the second coming of spring, the entire big tree becoming fresh and alive.


    The other Jade Sovereign Heavens had long already retreated to an extremely far place, to avoid being affected.


    The six great Saint Exalts looked at the Bloodcentral Devil Vine that was brandishing its vines, their expressions all extremely ugly.


    ��Damn it! This Bloodcentral Devil Vine actually disguised as a withered tree!�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    ��This Bloodcentral Devil Vine��s aura became much stronger. It seemed to have suffered heavy injuries before! It wants to absorb blood essence to recover its strength!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said.


    ��Looking at so many heavenly medicines but not being able to get them, it��s really aggrieving!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    These grade five heavenly pills held great significance to them, these Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Being able to see but not able to get them made these Saint Sovereign Heavens depressed until they wanted to vomit blood.


    ��Really a bunch of fools! People have long entered this Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm before. If these heavenly medicines were really easy to get, would it be your turn?�� Right at this time, a disdainful voice sounded out.


    The expressions of the six great Saint Exalts turned dark. Turning around to look, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��Brat, stop making sarcastic comments! Don��t think that by bringing along a Saint Exalt true spirit, you��re invincible! Don��t you forget, we��re currently six great Saint Exalts!�� Waycloud said with a cold snort.


    ��Huhu, who has the time to make sarcastic comments with you! I only came to tell you guys that since you all can��t get them, then I��ll be keeping them!�� Ye Yuan said coolly..

 Chapter 2739 - Well-prepared!

    Chapter 2739: Well-prepared!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You��re keeping them? Huhu, as long as you have the ability to get them, I have no objections!�� When Saint Exalt Waycloud heard that, he smiled coldly.


    ��Brat, do you really think that you��re invincible under the heavens by having a Saint Exalt helper? This exalt wants to see how you collect them!��


    ��Shameless boasting little fellow, do you really think that us, these Saint Sovereign Heavens, are all incompetent?��


    �� ��


    When the few great Saint Exalts heard that, they all smiled coldly.


    A mere Jade Sovereign Heaven also dares to boast shamelessly in front of them, did he really take it that the Bloodcentral Devil Vine was to be trifled with?��


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Is that so? Then you guys watch carefully.��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan rode on Big Yellow and leaped, directly entering the medicinal land.


    But the strange thing was that the Bloodcentral Devil Vine actually did not react!


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either and immediately began collecting the surrounding heavenly medicines.


    When the powerhouses at the periphery saw this scene, each and every one of their eyes went wide!


    ��What��s going on? Why isn��t there any movement from the Bloodcentral Devil Vine?��


    ��Really seeing ghosts!��


    ��Could it be that the Bloodcentral Devil Vine is full from absorbing the blood and won��t attack us anymore?��


    �� ��


    When many people saw the situation, they were all guessing.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was actually fine, they were naturally tempted too.


    The gutsy would be stuffed and the cowardly would starve.


    Since Ye Yuan was fine, then they would definitely be fine too!


    Hence, someone plucked up their courage and rushed into the medicinal land again.


    But, right at the moment they entered the attack range, the Bloodcentral Devil Vine moved out like lightning.


    Puchi!


    Those few Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were directly sucked into human jerkies!


    With this, they no longer had hopes of getting lucky.


    ��Damn it, why doesn��t the Bloodcentral Devil Vine react to him?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said in shock and anger.


    The faces of the other Saint Exalts were all very ugly.


    Such a large piece of medicinal land, it was actually going to benefit Ye Yuan alone?


    Having collected the surrounding heavenly medicine, Big Yellow leaped again and arrived at another area.


    Ye Yuan repeated what he did and continued collecting heavenly medicines.


    Of course, with this method of collection, it was impossible to collect all of the heavenly medicines. But, collecting 70%-80% was still not a problem.


    ��Kid, how is it? Does it feel great?�� Mi Tian said proudly.


    ��Indeed very amazing! Many of these heavenly medicines are not available on Rainclear Continent, they are really rare to the extreme. I didn��t expect that it all benefited me,�� Ye Yuan praised.


    ��This bunch of guys, they are considered lucky. How can the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s Bloodcentral Devil Vine back then have just this bit of strength? Chaos aberrant isn��t said for fun! This Bloodcentral Devil Vine is most likely that guy��s descendant. It��s just a shame that it didn��t have sufficient blood to support it, and it only has this bit of strength now,�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who could have thought that the powerful Bloodcentral Devil Vine actually has bad eyesight! As long as you move about in his blind spot, you won��t be attacked?��


    This was the reason why Ye Yuan was safe and sound!


    The Bloodcentral Devil Vine��s strength was extremely formidable. Even in the same rank, it was virtually invincible too.


    But, it had its flaws too, that was that it had a blind spot in perception.


    However, this blind spot was not static, but constantly moving.


    Only an existence like Mi Tian would know about the Bloodcentral Devil Vine��s blind spot.


    Otherwise, even if they knew that it had this shortcoming, it would be difficult to find it too.


    At the periphery, a hint of a smile suddenly surfaced on Saint Exalt Skyfortune��s face and he said, ��Everyone doesn��t need to get agitated. It��s naturally excellent that he can pluck these heavenly medicines out! We��ll just sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!��


    When the other Saint Exalts heard that, their eyes all lit up!


    Yeah, why did they have to go and collect it?


    After Ye Yuan returned from plucking them, wouldn��t it do if they directly snatched it?


    ��Haha, it��s still Fellow Daoist Skyfortune who is shrewd! Such a dangerous thing, it��s better for others to go and do it!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said with a loud laugh when he heard that.


    Ye Yuan��s movements were very fast, plucking those heavenly medicines clean very quickly.


    Following that, Big Yellow directly jumped out of the circle with a leap.


    And outside, the six great Saint Exalts have already been casting covetous eyes.


    The moment Ye Yuan came out, they immediately blocked all of the escape routes.


    ��Kid, you��ve worked hard! Hand over all the heavenly medicines and you can get lost!�� Waycloud said with a cold smile.


    Now, with helpers, he could finally avenge the enmity.


    Skyfortune also said coolly, ��Little Brother, no matter how strong the Saint Exalt true spirit is, it��s also impossible to fight one-versus-six! If you��re sensible, better hand it over, we won��t make things difficult for you! You can keep the grade four heavenly medicines for yourself.��


    ��Huhu, weren��t you very cocky just now? Be cocky again for this exalt to see!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud had an appearance like he had cornered Ye Yuan as he mocked.


    But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said with a smile, ��If I were you guys, I��d be worried about yourselves first! I��ve prepared a big gift for you guys, hope that you all like it.��


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Ye Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when the ground actually started vibrating.


    The expressions of the Saint Exalts changed wildly, only feeling a wave of terrifying to the extreme undulation surging towards this side.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Seems like there��s a large group of powerhouses with terrifying strength heading over here!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said in alarm.


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Kid, what did you do?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s nothing. I just let several dozen Saint Sovereign Heaven true spirits out. If you all want the heavenly medicines, you can totally come and snatch them. But, whether or not you can escape in a while, I won��t dare to guarantee it.��


    ��What?! S-Several dozen true spirits! You��re insane!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud��s entire body trembled and he said in horror.


    Just the auras that he felt, there were more than a dozen that were not weaker than him!


    In fact, there were even several who were significantly stronger than him!


    That appearance was clearly middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, even upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This kind of terrifying aura, how could it be what they all could resist?


    ��Huhu, you all are allowed to find helpers, but I��m not allowed to find helpers? Whether or not you want the heavenly medicines, decide yourselves,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    These true spirits were actually all reared by the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    The powerhouses of the Labyrinth Divine Palace all had their own mounts when they traveled back then.


    Of course, those truly powerful true spirits had long already died out.


    These true spirits that Ye Yuan released were all the descendants of the true spirits that the Labyrinth Divine Palace raised in the past.


    These true spirits were all raised by the Labyrinth Divine Palace with special methods. They did not have any intelligence at all, only primitive wildness.


    After they reached Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, many were unable to transcend the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation, so they repeated the process of multiplying like that.


    Before Ye Yuan came here, he quietly released these true spirits under Mi Tian��s guidance. Then, he lured these true spirits to go crazy and head over here.


    Big Yellow alone was naturally not the match of these Saint Exalts joining forces.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was long prepared.


    The faces of the six great Saint Exalts flickered indeterminately. As for the other Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses and even half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, they had long fled.


    This commotion was too terrifying!


    ��RUN!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud finally could not bear the pressure and turned around and ran!


    How could the other five still dare to stay? Being besieged by dozens of Saint Sovereign Heaven true spirits, it was totally impossible for them to escape alive!


    They could only run!


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Patting Big Yellow, he said, ��Big Yellow, come on!��


    Big Yellow took a step forward and walked into the dense woods unhurriedly, as if not worried about these Saint Exalt true spirits at all.

 Chapter 2740 - The Saint Exalts Who Were Scammed Miserably!

    Chapter 2740: The Saint Exalts Who Were Scammed Miserably!


    In the forest, dust was flying and it was long already in a chaotic mess.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud and the rest were pursued until they ran all over the place.


    ��Roar!��


    A huge roar sounded out, Saint Exalt Waycloud was slammed flying by an Ironblack Beast.


    ��Bastard, this exalt definitely won��t let you off!�� Waycloud roared angrily.


    But at this time, the Ironblack Beast��s eyes locked onto another person.


    That person was merely a middle Jade Sovereign heaven and was inconspicuous in the crowd.


    At this time, his expression became very ugly and he cussed heavily, ��F*cking hell, this scoundrelly punk! This exalt was already very low-profile. Must you force Your Father out?��


    While talking, his strength suddenly skyrocketed, and actually directly reached peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    And his appearance also underwent huge changes.


    The moment Waycloud saw, he could not help saying in a great rage, ��Motherf*cker Cang Jie, you hid so deeply!��


    Saint Exalt Cang Jie said crossly, ��You��re the motherf*cker! Your entire family, they are all motherf*ckers! You couldn��t stand the loneliness and insist on revealing your identity! What the hell does it have to do with Your Father?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s face turned black,and he said in a solemn voice, ��Stop talking nonsense! Let��s join hands and finish this thing off! Although this Ironblack Beast is only peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, its strength is too strong, I��m not a match by myself!��


    Saint Exalt Cang Jie said, ��Motherf*cker! Then what are you still standing there stupidly for? Why haven��t you made a move?��


    The two great Saint Exalts were pressed into a corner too, every sentence carrying profanities.


    These Saint Exalt true spirits that Ye Yuan released disrupted everyone��s plans.


    Those like Saint Exalt Cang Jie did not even reveal their identities after seeing those heavenly medicines. Being hunted down at this time, he had no choice but to reveal his strength.


    The other five hidden Saint Exalts were the same as him currently.


    Keep holding back and that would be fatal.


    They had been reluctant to take action all along. Their plan was to wait until there was truly a big opportunity, and then they would suddenly take action.


    But now, they were forced to expose themselves.


    These few Saint Exalts even had the heart to kill Ye Yuan.


    But they had no choice but to face these Saint Exalt true spirits first.


    Fortunately, they ran in time. These true spirits did not have much intelligence either. That was how they could preserve their lives.


    Otherwise, being caught up to by those middle, or even upper Saint Sovereign Heavens, it would practically be certain death.


    As for the greater part of the force, they had long already been scattered into a mess, each fleeing for themselves.


    At this very moment, on a mountain, Big Yellow��s imposing momentum was currently in the midst of climbing wildly.


    Ye Yuan snatched away the Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower from Shi Yue��s hands previously, but there were still two kinds of core ingredients that were not collected yet.


    He did not expect that they could be collected here.


    Hence, he naturally did not delay anything either, directly refining a true grade heavenly imperial pill for Big Yellow.


    Ye Yuan looked at Big Yellow breaking through and could not help frowning slightly as he said, ��I didn��t expect that a heavenly imperial pill is actually unable to let him rise to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven! Each realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven, the gap is really huge!��


    ��Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, before Saint Sovereign Heaven, it��s all about consolidating the foundation! Only by stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven is it considered truly attaining a higher level! After Saint Sovereign Heaven, each step is immensely difficult. Even if it��s a true grade heavenly pill, it��s impossible to let him reach the heavens in one step too! Of course, if you can refine grade five heavenly imperial pills, the effects will naturally be another matter altogether,�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes. How could grade five heavenly imperial pills be so easy to refine?


    The further up for heavenly imperial pills, the more difficult it was.


    Furthermore, between grade four heavenly pills and grade five heavenly pills, it was like Jade Sovereign Heaven and Saint Sovereign Heaven, the gap was massive.


    In alchemy, this was a tremendous watershed too.


    Because grade five heavenly medicines contained Great Dao rules in their beings, they were extremely complicated.


    Otherwise, how could it be called grade five?


    Although Ye Yuan was confident, he also knew that it was not easy to take this step.


    Of course, the most important thing was still having grade five heavenly pills to practice with.


    However, grade five heavenly medicines were too precious. It was impossible for Ye Yuan to practice on a large scale too.


    He had indeed collected quite a number of grade five heavenly medicines previously. But, these heavenly medicines were all extremely high quality heavenly medicines and not suitable to use for laying foundations.


    Even if it was heavenly medicines that grade five Foundation Establishment Heavenly Pill required, they were extremely precious in the Rainclear Continent too.


    Thinking about it, continuing to stay in the Rainclear Continent, it seemed like the prospect was just like that too.


    After avenging the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s enmity, it would also be time for Ye Yuan to leave the Rainclear Continent.


    Big Yellow��s realm only stopped at middle-stage lower Saint Sovereign Heaven in the end.


    Ye Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this result. But Big Yellow was wildly ecstatic and endlessly grateful to Ye Yuan.


    Sure enough, following Master Ye out was the wisest choice.


    Going back after this trip, when Saint Exalt Bull Demon saw him, he would definitely get a big shock.


    At that time, who knows whether or not he would let go of his pride and become a mount for Master Ye?


    �� ��


    Half a month later, in front of a magnificent hall, there were 13 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, each and every one of them looking miserable like beggars.


    ��Motherf*cking Ye Yuan, he scammed Your Father badly! In order to shake off the Ironblack Beast, Your Father even ate the grade five heavenly pill that I hoarded!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Grade five heavenly pills were not cabbages to them.


    To Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, any grade five heavenly pill was their lifeblood.


    But now, his lifeblood was gone. How could Saint Exalt Waycloud not be angry?


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune also gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Be contented! The grade five heavenly pills that this exalt hoarded for several thousand years, they have all been depleted clean this time! If I still don��t get any benefits in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, this exalt would have made a terrible loss during this trip! This scoundrelly thing really knows how to scam people! Disregarding that he hauled sufficient benefits, he even scammed us miserably!��


    ��F*cking hell, you all should be content! This exalt was hunted down by seven Saint Exalts! There was even an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven among them! Putting aside that all my heavenly pills were exhausted, I was even forcibly beaten into serious injuries! Now, I can only unleash the strength of a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    The one speaking was Saint Exalt Ji Yu. He was a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, his strength being outstanding.


    But he had bad luck and was targeted by an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven and pursued all the way, narrowly escaping death several times.


    Fortunately, those true spirits did not have high intelligence. Otherwise, he would have died long ago.


    Even so, he was still seriously injured, his strength decreasing by 30%!


    Now, he could only unleash the strength of a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven and had nowhere to go and cry.


    The other Saint Exalts�� expressions looked bad.


    Before the mountain pass gates, apart from these Saint Exalts, there were also quite a number of Jade Sovereign Heavens and half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens that arrived.


    However, of the original four to five hundred strong Jade Sovereign Heaven brigade, there were only less than 200 left now!


    Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses really suffered heavy losses.


    However, there was one of them who was in high spirits and energetic.


    He actually brought along a Saint Exalt true spirit beside him!


    This Saint Exalt true spirit was precisely one of the ones that were hunting them down previously.


    ��Tsk tsk, speaking of which, still really got to thank Ye Yuan! Without him, I also couldn��t have subdued a Saint Exalt true spirit! Tsk tsk, that guy used Big Yellow to scam me badly. Now, it can be considered to have compensated me!��


    This person was none other than precisely Taoist Wu Fang!

 Chapter 2741 - Corrupt Corpse!

    Chapter 2741: Corrupt Corpse!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The current Taoist Wu Fang was showing off a lot.


    If it was an ordinary Saint Exalt true spirit, it would naturally have smacked him to death with a slap.


    But these Saint Exalt true spirits did not have intelligence, so it was different.


    Previously, Taoist Wu Fang was chased by this Saint Exalt true spirit until there was no road to heaven and no gate into the earth.


    Who knew that he actually broke through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven at the final juncture, his origin divinity improving greatly, and his spirit controlling art also broke through the shackles.


    He tussled with this Saint Exalt true spirit for half a month and finally subdued him.


    The faces of all the Saint Exalts became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Each and every one of them suffered heavy losses, but this guy got off cheap!


    ��Congratulations, Brother Wu Fang! Brother Wu Fang has excellent means, to actually subdue a Saint Exalt true spirit!��


    Right at this time, a figure rode on a large yellow bull and floated down.


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, a series of murderous gazes looked over simultaneously with a whoosh.


    Especially the 13 Saint Exalt powerhouses, they wished to swallow Ye Yuan whole at this time.


    Ye Yuan did not take notice of these people��s gazes, going straight to Wu Fang��s side.


    Each of these guys was incomparably insidious. If he did not scheme against them, he would have to be schemed against by them.


    ��Heh heh, double congratulations! Didn��t you break through too? Mn? Saint Exalt Big Yellow broke through too!��


    Wu Fang suddenly discovered that Big Yellow��s aura was significantly stronger than before and could not help being surprised.


    This was also too fast!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, breaking through so much at once, it was not what everyone could accomplish.


    Saying this, the other Saint Exalts also could not help but wake up, each and every one of their faces becoming even blacker.


    Without a doubt, Big Yellow only broke through after swallowing those heavenly medicines!


    Damn it!


    They suffered such heavy losses and actually did not get any benefits at all!


    As for the matter of Ye Yuan breaking through to middle Jade Sovereign Heaven, it was directly ignored by them.


    In this place, middle Jade Sovereign Heaven was really unexceptional.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was unreconciled to it in his heart and said in a cold voice, ��Brat, you still dare to come, do you really take it that we, these Saint Sovereign Heavens, are vegetarians?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Not that you guys are vegetarians, but that you should have eaten quite a bit of meat, right? Why? Still want to taste it? I can lure them over again.��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s face turned black, but he instantly shut up.


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune gave a cold snort and said, ��Forget it, the truly good stuff should be in the Labyrinth Divine Palace. There is no need to haggle over things with him! After entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, this exalt wants to see whether or not he can still be so arrogant!��


    Ye Yuan gave an ��oh�� and said, ��Then you guys can give it a try and see.��


    At this time, a weak voice behind Ye Yuan said: ��That �� Brother Ye, I��ve gathered the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines, can you ����


    Ye Yuan turned around to look and it was Shi Yue.


    He already knew that Big Yellow was a Saint Exalt powerhouse, so he naturally did not dare to be unbridled in front of Ye Yuan.


    This time, Shi Yue��s luck was better and he was not hunted down by the Saint Exalt true spirits.


    Furthermore, in the panic, he also found another small-sized medicinal land, and actually collected the Four Qi Pill��s heavenly medicines.


    At this time, he tested it out, to see if what Ye Yuan said counted.


    When Ye Yuan saw him, he revealed a hint of surprise too.


    This guy really gathered them.


    But he did not decline and said with a nod, ��Of course, there��s no problem!��


    Very soon, the expressions of the Saint Exalts changed.


    ��Ninth grade perfection!��


    ��Grade four heavenly imperial pill! This strength, most likely, there��s only the Pill Alliance��s top elders that can achieve it, right?��


    ��I think I somewhat understand why Saint Exalt Big Yellow wants to follow him!��


    �� ��


    Seeing the freshly produced ninth grade perfection Four Qi Pill, all of the Saint Exalts were extremely shocked.


    To be able to refine a heavenly imperial pill to this level, he was absolutely an expert among experts!


    One had to know, being able to refine the Four Qi Pill to ninth grade perfection, even Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had to show sufficient respect to such a heavenly alchemist too!


    Some Saint Exalts were somewhat dumbfounded. They actually offended such an existence!


    Shi Yue held the Four Qi Pill, feeling agitated until he was trembling.


    He just wanted seventh grade. In the end, Ye Yuan actually gave him ninth grade perfection!


    This medicinal effect, the gap was not an ordinary kind of big!


    Watching Shi Yue broke through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, the remaining Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were envious to the extreme.


    Why did they brave death to trespass this Labyrinth Divine Palace? Wasn��t it in order to break through cultivation realm and increase their strength?


    During this period of time, more and more Jade Sovereign Heavens also gathered outside of the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    The group of Saint Exalt powerhouses did not enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace rashly, because they needed cannon fodders too.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace before their eyes was a huge group of palaces. Although they were extremely dilapidated, it gave people a very dangerous feeling.


    Saint Exalts cherished their lives and were naturally not willing to enter easily.


    ��It��s around there. Let��s go in! The restrictions outside of this Labyrinth Divine Palace have long been broken, but everyone should be more careful,�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune suddenly said.


    Everyone nodded one after another, all looking solemn.


    Clearly, they all sensed the danger.


    Ye Yuan was not melodramatic either, following the main force into the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Upon entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, a threatening corrupt energy hit them head-on.


    The corrupt energy had turned corporeal as if blades cutting on the face.


    ��What a strong corrupt energy!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    ��When the Labyrinth Divine Palace was at its prime, their disciples surpassed a million! The weakest was also the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven! Such a colossal sect being destroyed, there are countless resentful souls. What does this bit of corrupt energy count as? The Labyrinth Divine Palace that you guys entered is just the tip of the iceberg of the true Labyrinth Divine Palace! If you really reach the place where the real mountain pass gate is, the corrupt energy can directly wipe you all out!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan also felt shocked when he heard it.


    A million disciples!


    The weakest was Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This kind of sect was simply unimaginable.


    One had to know, a Saint Sovereign Heaven could virtually do whatever they wanted to in the Rainclear Continent.


    ��This isn��t the real mountain pass gates?�� Ye Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked.


    ��Of course not! With your bit of strength, how can you all find the true Labyrinth Divine Palace��s mountain pass gates? This group of palaces doesn��t even count as the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s outer-sect! If you really go to the mountain pass gates, I can��t protect you either! Maybe even if a grain of dust falls down from the roof, you��ll die,�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan was speechless when he heard it, this was also too exaggerated.


    ��No idea where the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation is either,�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    This palace was too big, he even felt a little lost when he entered.


    Yan Jadetrue only said Voidsnap Immortal Condensation but did not tell the location.


    But, come to think of it, it was in a very dangerous place too.


    Otherwise, with Yan Jadetrue��s strength back then, it was impossible to not have gotten it.


    ��ARGH!!��


    ��ARGH!!��


    �� ��


    Everyone did not walk far when suddenly, several miserable screams came from behind.


    The group of powerhouses were greatly alarmed and discovered that several Jade Sovereign Heavens were already killed by someone with one sword.


    Everyone��s faces changed, and they discovered that since God knows when, there were actually several dozen more ��people�� behind them!


    These ��people�� wore uniforms and held standard long swords in their hands, their movements very swift.


    They looked human, but their eyes and mouth emitted black smoke, looking very sinister and scary.


    The Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses reacted to it too, taking action one after another.


    Those able to come here alive were at least upper Jade Sovereign Heaven. Their strength was not weak.


    But, when they made a move to deal with these guys, there were only clanking sounds that were made. They could not leave the slightest scar at all!


    Someone said, ��The corrupt energy here is too strong.. These corpses have been flooded with corrupt energy and are impervious to swords and spears, and they became corrupt corpses!��

 Chapter 2742 - Feeling Joy After Surviving a Calamity!

    Bang!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud thrust a palm out. The body of the corrupt corpse was directly decimated by half.


    But the corrupt corpse did not care at all, and it still brandished its sword and charged over.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s brows furrowed slightly, clearly feeling that it was troublesome to deal with.


    The other Saint Exalts also took action one after another, planning on killing these corrupt corpses.


    But another group of corrupt corpses rushed out from the flank.


    The corrupt energy on these corrupt corpses�� bodies had virtually turned corporeal. Their strength actually did not pale in comparison to Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    The faces of the group of Saint Exalts changed. When their moves landed on the other party��s body, the other party was actually completely unscathed and just took a few steps back before charging over again.


    Bang!


    Waycloud and the other party exchanged a punch and were directly pushed away, flying out backward.


    ��Damn it, these corrupt corpses are impervious to swords and spears, untainted by myriad laws, they can��t be killed at all! Waycloud gritted his teeth and said.


    Boom!


    There was the sound of a dragon roar and a streak of sword light flashed past. The head of a corrupt corpse immediately exploded like a watermelon, and then it fell to the ground and stopped moving.


    Everyone��s faces changed, looking towards Ye Yuan in amazement.


    This sword was precisely released by Ye Yuan using the Dragon Spring Sword.


    ��The weakness of these corrupt corpses is their heads. Just chop them off will do!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Only when everyone heard that did they come back to their senses, all kinds of moves smashing toward the corrupt corpses�� heads desperately.


    But it was easier said than done.


    Although these corrupt corpses did not have much intelligence, they still had instincts.


    They protected their heads one after another, there was no way to break it at all.


    Furthermore, even if those ordinary Jade Sovereign Heavens hit on the heads, they were unable to break it too.


    Rather, it was the attacks of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens that were fast and ruthless, that could break the heads of the corrupt corpses like Ye Yuan.


    Everyone was extremely shocked, only then knowing that the power of Ye Yuan��s blow was already comparable to that of a half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This guy was just middle Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    If Saint Sovereign Heavens did not emerge, his strength was actually already comparable to that of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    The surrounding corrupt corpses got more and more. Furthermore, their strength got stronger and stronger.


    At this time, peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpses already appeared.


    ��Damn it, just how many corrupt corpses are there here? At this rate, we all have to die here!�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune gritted his teeth and said.


    Ye Yuan also frowned slightly. He finally knew what they all encountered.


    This was just entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, and there were already so many powerful corrupt corpses.


    Going deeper in, it was bound to be even more dangerous.


    ��They seem to be forcing us into that passageway. We can��t go over! There must be even more powerful existences there!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said anxiously.


    ��Otherwise, what should we do? Entering is death, retreating is also death!�� Saint Exalt Yuan Yi roared angrily.


    ��Senior, what should we do now?�� Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Clearly, he felt the pressure too.


    More than a dozen Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm corrupt corpses had already appeared around them. At this rate, the Saint Exalts would not be able to hold on any longer.


    ��Well �� let Big Yellow blaze a trail and head northwest direction, I remember back then there��s a Treasure Depository Pavilion there! If I didn��t guess wrongly, the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation should be there. That little fellow��s strength wasn��t very strong, it��s impossible to go very deep. Reaching that place is already the limit,�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Big Yellow! There!�� When Ye Yuan heard that, he gave a cold cry without hesitation.


    Big Yellow received the order and his body started twisting.


    Following that, a bull hoof suddenly kicked out. A Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpse in front directly had its head blown apart.


    Furthermore, the remnant momentum was unabated, the row of corrupt corpses at the back were all kicked flying.


    Under Mi Tian��s guidance, Big Yellow��s Coquettish Profligate Hoof already attained a higher level. Its power could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Plus, his cultivation realm soared greatly. By relying on the Coquettish Profligate Hoof, even if he encountered middle Saint Sovereign Heavens, he had the power to fight too!


    At this time, Big Yellow erupted with his full strength, and directly carved out a bloody path.


    ��Let��s go!��


    The two people lunged and dashed out of the encirclement.


    All the Saint Exalts were startled by this kick. Seeing Ye Yuan two people escape, they followed after without thinking.


    ��Follow!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud shouted.


    One figure after another galloped out. But those powerhouses that were being entangled fell into an encirclement again very quickly.


    ��ARGH!!��


    ��ARGH!!��


    �� ��


    One miserable scream after another came over, those people were engulfed by the corrupt corpses very soon.


    Among them even included a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    He was entangled by two Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpses and failed to get away immediately, but fell into a heavy encirclement.


    Hearing the miserable screams from behind, everyone did not dare to turn their heads back either and could only flee desperately.


    ��Roar!��


    Right at this time, a boorish roar came from behind.


    With this roar, the corrupt corpses at the back had an outbreak collectively and chased after this side frenziedly.


    That corrupt energy, which swept up, made the faces of the Saint Exalts change wildly.


    ��Not good! This is a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpse. He already has intelligence! If he catches up, we��ll be dead for sure! These guys were driving us in his direction just now! Now, he has turned angry from embarrassment!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud��s expression changed as he said.


    They felt that there was an astonishing aura from behind that already reached the level of grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    If he caught up, these people would all have to die.


    Originally, that corrupt corpse had cornered these people. Who knew that Big Yellow suddenly erupted, completely disrupting his deployment.


    Hence, he got angry.


    Grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpse, the speed was extremely fast.


    In this narrow passageway, he looked like he was going to catch up.


    ��Kid, the lamp that��s diagonally right ahead is a restriction! Quickly go and turn it on!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up and he turned to the side, letting everyone escape first.


    At this time, that grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpse was already near at hand.


    When Ye Yuan saw it, he felt his scalp tingle too.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan turned the lamp.


    Buzz, buzz ��


    That corrupt corpse��s claw was practically in front of Ye Yuan��s face already.


    But right at this time, an extremely powerful restriction force appeared in the passageway.


    Before that corrupt corpse had time to react, it actually directly turned into a wisp of black smoke and died!


    As for the corrupt corpses following behind it, they also turned to ashes in an instant.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he drew a breath of cold air too.


    What a powerful restriction!


    A grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven corrupt corpse, how fearsome was its strength?


    Most likely, even a human who was similarly grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven was not his match.


    It was actually vaporized in an instant!


    Only at this moment did Ye Yuan experience what was called powerful!


    It would likely be a cinch for this restriction to deal with True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses too!


    When those Saint Exalts saw this scene, each and every one of them slumped to the ground, having happiness from surviving a calamity.


    ��B-Brother Ye, t-thank you for saving us!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun��s complexion was deathly pale as he said.


    ��Brother Ye, thank you so much!��


    ��Many thanks, Brother Ye, for not taking prior transgressions to heart and saving our lives!��


    �� ��


    The Saint Exalts powerhouses gave thanks one after another.


    Just now, it was really a hair��s breadth between life and death.


    They almost caught up.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, the gap of a minor realm was too big!


    Even if they joined forces, it was impossible to be a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven��s match too.


    If not for Ye Yuan, they would have all been dead for sure.


    Feeling the joy of surviving a calamity, how could they still have hostility toward Ye Yuan? There were only feelings of gratitude.


    However, they were very surprised too. How did Ye Yuan know that there was an invisible restriction switch here?


    Just now, if Ye Yuan wanted to plot against them, they would also be like that corrupt corpse just now, turning into ashes!

 Chapter 2743 - The Pill Alliance’s True Strength!

    Chapter 2743: The Pill Alliance��s True Strength!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and also let out a long sigh in relief.


    That corrupt corpse king��s claw had already almost reached his face just now. His life was really hanging by a thread.


    He saved everyone on a whim just now, his heart racing from it too.


    These were all Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. It would be such a shame if they died.


    ��You all are thinking too much, it��s not that I��m not taking prior transgressions to heart. I just feel that you guys are all Saint Sovereign Heavens. It would be such a shame if you died. Better to leave behind a useful body and do something meaningful.�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Everyone frowned, hearing Ye Yuan��s overtone.


    ��Brother Ye seems to know a lot about this Labyrinth Divine Palace?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan schemed against them time and again, like he had arrived at his own home.


    Especially just now, there were many lamps on this path. Yet, Ye Yuan knew the one that triggered the restriction.


    This was somewhat unusual.


    Ye Yuan did not hide it either and said coolly, ��I can bring you all out, I can also share with you all part of the natural treasures here. In fact, I can even help you all step into middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, even upper Saint Sovereign Heaven! But ����


    All the Saint Exalts listened up, their faces full of doubts.


    Why did this boy suddenly change his character?


    Furthermore, could upper Saint Sovereign Heaven be broken through because you said so?


    ��Brother Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it,�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan knew that they did not believe it and said coolly, ��Do you know why Big Yellow is willing to follow me?��


    What else can there be? Because you can refine heavenly imperial pills!


    Grade four heavenly imperial pill, the medicinal effect was not weak anymore!


    However, while grade four heavenly imperial pills could greatly improve Big Yellow��s strength, it was insufficient to let these people break through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Everyone smiled and did not speak.


    Big Yellow gave a cold snort and said disdainfully, ��A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! Do you all know that I was still just grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven several years ago? Now, a few years later, which one of you is my match?��


    The expressions of the Saint Exalt powerhouses changed, all revealing looks of astonishment!


    They thought that Big Yellow was originally Saint Sovereign Heaven and that Ye Yuan refining grade four heavenly imperial pills was just superfluous.


    They did not expect that Big Yellow this Saint Exalt was actually single-handedly created by Ye Yuan!


    This was terrifying!


    A Jade Sovereign Heaven that could create Saint Sovereign Heavens at will. This �� was a little too monstrous, right?


    ��Saint Exalt Big Yellow, is this true?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud sucked in a breath of cold air and said.


    ��Huhu, if Master Ye can only refine ordinary heavenly imperial pills, do you think that this exalt would follow him so willingly?�� Big Yellow said.


    The moment everyone heard it, they felt that it made sense.


    Saint Exalt true spirits were not only proud, but they were also unfriendly towards humans let alone talk about being their mounts.


    Furthermore, even if Ye Yuan could refine ordinary heavenly imperial pills, the two of their statuses should be reversed and not Ye Yuan taking the initiative.


    This indicated that Ye Yuan��s alchemy path strength was even more formidable than they imagined!


    ��No need to keep guessing. You all are Saint Exalt powerhouses. You should have heard of true grade before, right?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present changed abruptly.


    True grade, this was an unfamiliar term in the past.


    But, ever since the astonishing great battle that Ye Yuan of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect had with the Pill Alliance��s holy son, Cang Yongning, the name of true grade also spread.


    However, this level of heavenly pill was not circulated on the market at all, but monopolized by the Pill Alliance!


    In reality, more than a hundred years had passed, not only did the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� various major heavenly sects�� alchemy path strength not improve, it regressed significantly instead.


    Because the Pill Alliance��s current monopoly was even more stringent.


    Monopolizing heavenly pills was tantamount to controlling the various major heavenly sects�� lifeblood, clutching their throats.


    ��True grade heavenly pill! Ye Yuan �� could it be that you��re �� you��re ���� Saint Exalt Waycloud suddenly remembered something and looked at Ye Yuan with a look of horror.


    The others were not dumb either, linking these two terms together, if they still did not know who Ye Yuan was, then they could really find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    When Ye Yuan was ��killed�� back then, he was still only Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    Logically speaking, he was just an unknown junior.


    But that was not the case.


    Ye Yuan established the Pill Pavilion back then, defeated the holy son, achieved true grade, and stirred up monstrously huge waves in the Five Great Heavenly Regions.


    If it were not for this, the Pill Alliance also would not have exterminated the Five Light Heavenly Region with ruthless means.


    Others did not know, but how could these Saint Exalts not know?


    They just rarely showed their faces in front of people. It did not mean that they really shut themselves away from worldly affairs.


    ��I heard that the Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief personally took action and killed you! You �� You actually didn��t die?�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune had a look of shock too.


    ��Heh, how can this Ye die so easily before avenge the great enmity? Rather, it��s you all, these Saint Sovereign Heavens. You became the Pill Alliance��s lackeys so willingly?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Actually, seeing these Saint Sovereign Heavens, Ye Yuan already roughly guessed the Pill Alliance��s strength today.


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens that came today were probably already more than half of the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� power.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that the Five Great Heavenly Regions actually had so many hidden Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    However, for the Pill Alliance to be able to suppress so many Saint Sovereign Heavens, their strength could be seen at a glance!


    Saying lacking was likely a little too much.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were aloof from worldly affairs, the Pill Alliance did not have a big influence on them.


    But they did not dare to intervene in sect affairs anymore as well.


    Back then, the Pill Alliance destroyed the five great heavenly sects with ruthless means and killed five great veteran Saint Sovereign Heavens, shocking all of the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    How could they still dare to say a word of dissent?


    ��Huhu, Brother Ye, you said it lightly. Do you know how strong the Pill Alliance��s true strength is? Do you know that destroying your five great heavenly sects back then was actually carried out at the same time? And that Alliance Chief who took action to kill your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was merely the alliance chief of the Pill Alliance��s branch!�� Saint Sovereign Skyfortune also said with a helpless look.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s eyes also flickered and he said, ��The Pill Alliance��s general alliance��s Li Changsheng, is an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse! According to what I know, the Saint Exalt powerhouses that the Pill Alliance possesses are no less than 20! Do you know that we all, these old undyings added together, also don��t surpass 20? The strongest is also merely middle Saint Sovereign Heaven! What else can we do if we don��t be lackeys?��


    Ye Yuan also drew a cold breath as he listened.


    It was still his first time learning about the Pill Alliance��s true strength.


    He originally thought that he already survived well enough in Heavenly South and the Myriad Demons Mountain, and returning to destroy the Pill Alliance would not be a problem.


    He did not expect that the Pill Alliance��s general alliance was actually an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse!


    This way, it was really a little troublesome.


    However, even if it was an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, it was impossible to make him give up on revenge too.


    No powerhouse, then he would create a powerhouse!


    After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Right now, the Pill Alliance has monopolized all of the alchemy resources, their Saint Sovereign Heavens will get stronger and stronger. But you all can only rush ahead into danger and come to this kind of dangerous place.. When one aspect was weaker, the others would be stronger. In less than a thousand years, the Rainclear Continent won��t have any other heavenly sects! Could it be that you all are willing?��

 Chapter 2744 - A United Front!

    Chapter 2744: A United Front!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The faces of all the saint sovereigns were very solemn.


    How could they not have thought of these things that Ye Yuan said?


    But, apart from waiting to perish, what else could they do?


    Putting up a desperate fight would not have a way out of it.


    The Pill Alliance was too strong!


    ��What can we do even if we��re not willing to accept it?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud let out a long sigh and said.


    ��Not willing, you naturally have to revolt! All of you are Rainclear Continent��s top powerhouses. Only by gathering together can you overthrow the Pill Alliance��s rule!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    But Saint Exalt Purplesun shook his head and said, ��It��s useless! Even if we gather together, we��re not the Pill Alliance��s match either!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s merely 20 Saint Sovereign Heavens! There are already 12 of you all present! Five Great Heavenly Regions�� Saint Sovereign Heavens would not be less than 15 no matter what, right? Add in Myriad Demons Mountain��s nine great Saint Exalts, you have even more than the Pill Alliance! As for the high-level combat force, leave this to me to resolve!��


    ��What?! When did the Myriad Demons Mountain have nine great Saint Exalts?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun��s entire body trembled and he said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The Pill Alliance has true grade heavenly pills and can create Saint Exalt powerhouses, can��t I do the same? If there are sufficient heavenly medicines, forget about nine great Saint Exalts, even if it��s 90 Saint Exalts, what does it count for?��


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan and could not help being speechless.


    How great a price did they pay in order to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    But, when it reached Ye Yuan��s mouth, it was as simple as eating and drinking!


    Really making people unable to live!


    But, thinking about it, everyone felt at ease too.


    Why did the Pill Alliance have so many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses?


    Wasn��t it because they grasped true grade heavenly pills?


    ��This Ye doesn��t need everyone to do anything either. After this Ye kills my way back to the Five Great Heavenly Regions, I hope that everyone can lend a helping hand; that will do! The harvest this time isn��t small. I��ll help you all refine some heavenly pills later to help your strength improve further. In the future, after destroying the Pill Alliance, this Ye will re-establish the Pill Pavilion and pass down the true grade Dao teaching, letting everyone no longer be controlled by people! I wonder what everyone thinks?��


    These people were all old foxes who would not commit themselves until success is certain. Although he saved them, this concerned their lives; they would not easily agree.


    In fact, it was also not impossible that they agree to it here, and then they went to deliver the information to the Pill Alliance after going out.


    Wanting to rope them in, the best way was the tying of interests!


    Passing down Dao teachings, refining heavenly pills, this absolutely had an allure for them.


    In order to suppress them, it was definitely impossible for the Pill Alliance to provide them grade five heavenly pills. This also cut off their hopes of advancement.


    Otherwise, why would they be willing to take the unusual risk and enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace?


    Others did not know, but how could they all, these old fellows, not have heard of the Labyrinth Divine Palace before?


    Back then, Zhuo Bufan that group of supreme powerhouses only had Zhuo Bufan alone coming out alive!


    Did they not have any idea how dangerous it was?


    It was just that they had no choice but to do so!


    Sure enough, the moment Ye Yuan said this, the eyes of the Saint Exalts lit up.


    ��Brother Ye, is this true?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��More real than real gold! In the future, when I re-establish the Pill Pavilion and break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, helping you all reach grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven isn��t something hard too! You all know that this isn��t a big deal to me.��


    Being limited by resources, it was probably a little tough for Ye Yuan to want to reach the realm of true grade in the Rainclear Continent.


    In reality, Ye Yuan guessed that it was impossible for the Pill Alliance��s alliance chief to refine a grade five heavenly pill of true grade too.


    After all, grade five heavenly medicines were too rare in the Rainclear Continent!


    But Ye Yuan��s foundation was extremely solid. For ordinary grade five heavenly pills, it was a cinch for him to refine until ninth grade.


    Saint Exalt Purplesun looked at the group of Saint Exalts and said, ��Brothers, how do you all see it? There��s a young man in front of us that can reach Li Changsheng, that level of existence!��


    Clearly, he was moved.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was the first to nod his head and said, ��Okay, my Seven-star Heavenly Sect joins! But I have a condition. We must see an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s of course, I want to take revenge, not seek death!��


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune nodded and said, ��Okay, we��re joining too!��


    The 12 Saint Exalts all joined without exception.


    Got to be joking! Someone who could refine true grade heavenly pills, there was presently only this one apart from the Pill Alliance!


    Pass this village and there would be no such shop anymore!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses all had to face the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation. If their strength stopped improving, they might just kick the bucket any day.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, can you count me in? I��m also someone who has a Saint Exalt true spirit presently!�� Wu Fang suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course! You gather the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill��s heavenly medicines. I can help you refine it and assist you to step into Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    When Taoist Wu Fang heard that, he could not help being overjoyed.


    The heavenly medicines of the Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill were very hard to collect. But he had hopes of stepping into Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and he said to all the Jade Sovereign Heavens, ��You all, swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now! No one is allowed to divulge today��s matter!��


    Even if the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present had unhappiness in their hearts, they had no choice but to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath too.


    Finished doing all these, Ye Yuan brought everyone into the depths of the passageway.


    �� ��


    Treasure Depository Pavilion, the front door was already broken.


    But the terrifying undulation coming from inside made the expressions of all the Saint Exalts change.


    The restrictions in this Treasure Depository Pavilion were activated!


    Through the restriction, they could see that there were many treasures inside!


    ��That��s a grandmist treasure! So many grandmist treasures!��


    ��Heavenly pills too! So many heavenly pills!��


    ��That��s �� Voidsnap Immortal Condensation! Heavenly Sorrow Profound Spirit! Silver Frost Heavenly Leaf! Hiss �� so many good treasures!��


    ��Damn it! This restriction undulation isn��t the slightest bit weaker than that one earlier!��


    �� ��


    Able to see but unable to touch; these Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were nearly going insane.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No worries. I��ll go in and take it!��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun��s gaze turned intent and he said, ��Brother Ye, you mustn��t joke about this! Even if you��re very familiar with this place, this restriction isn��t what you can barge through!��


    The Voidsnap Immortal Condensation was in there!


    Back then, the things inside that Yan Jadetrue they all could not get, it was naturally because of the restriction too.


    Ye Yuan did not say anything either, taking a step out and stepping into the restrictions.


    Many powerhouses present all cried out in alarm.


    But they discovered that Ye Yuan was actually completely fine.


    Ye Yuan shuttled back and forth in the restriction, advancing little by little, and he actually did not trigger the restriction.


    All the powerhouses stared wide-eyed.


    ��How did this guy do it? This restriction is at least grade six! Could it be that he also knows grade six restrictions?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud was speechless.


    ��Grade six restrictions don��t exist on the Rainclear Continent at all! How in the world did he, an ascender, do it?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun also said in surprise.


    Concerning Ye Yuan obtaining the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s map somewhere and knowing about the restriction��s switch, this was still explainable.


    But, passing through a grade six restriction, this was too fantastical.


    One had to know, True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had never appeared on the Rainclear Continent before, let alone talk about grade six restrictions.

 Chapter 2745 - Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook

    Chapter 2745: Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing the dazzling array of natural treasures in front of him, Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up.


    This time, it was really an abundant harvest.


    There were many finished heavenly pills in this Treasure Depository Pavilion.


    They were basically all grade five heavenly pills!


    Furthermore, there were even some true grade heavenly pills among them!


    It seemed like what Mi Tian said was not false. The weakest in the Labyrinth Divine Palace was also at the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    However, he did not find grade six heavenly pills here. It seemed like this place did not even count as outer-sect.


    Apart from these, there were also many natural treasures and rare materials here, such as the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation.


    These natural treasures were not suitable for refining pills, but the effects were not weaker than heavenly pills.


    In addition, there were also several dozen grade one grandmist treasures!


    Grandmist treasures that were hard to come across in the outside world were basically cabbages here!


    Of course, Ye Yuan was not interested in grandmist treasures.


    But, with these heavenly pills, Ye Yuan had a crazy idea.


    Back then, the Pill Alliance brought several times the number of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Jade Sovereign Heavens and destroyed the sect.


    Today, he could bring a bunch of Saint Sovereign Heavens to attack the Pill Alliance!


    If there were sufficient heavenly medicines, Ye Yuan could naturally create a Saint Sovereign Heaven army.


    But sadly, heavenly medicines were too hard to find.


    But these heavenly pills in front of him could create a large number of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    At that time, thinking of how several dozen Saint Sovereign Heavens descended upon the Pill Alliance, Ye Yuan really wanted to see what kind of expression Li Changsheng would have!


    Back then, the Sacred Destiny Pill that the five great kings and Meng Frostwind fought desperately to seize, there were several dozen bottles of it here!


    Furthermore, the quality of these Sacred Destiny Pills was extremely high. They were at least all at the level of eighth grade!


    Well-worthy of being the former number one great sect of the heavens, they were indeed immensely wealthy!


    These things did not even count as a single hair from nine oxen to the Labyrinth Divine Palace. But, to these people from outside, it was a massive fortune!


    Ye Yuan put away the treasures and appeared in front of everyone. Everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    There were too many good items inside!


    If not for being wary of Ye Yuan, they wished to kill and seize the treasures right now.


    Ye Yuan was not stingy either. After coming out, he immediately took out 12 grandmist treasures and threw them to those Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    ��One article for each person! The rest, I still have to share with others and won��t be giving to you all,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud held a grandmist treasure long sword and said gleefully, ��With this sword, my strength will increase greatly! Right now, even if it��s facing off against a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, I have the strength to fight too!��


    ��Good stuff! Good stuff! Thank you, Younger Brother Ye! This time, without you, us old things would have to lose our lives here, let alone talk about getting such fine treasures!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun stroked his grandmist treasure and said with reluctance to let go of it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s no hurry. You all take these heavenly pills! These heavenly pills are sufficient for you all to cultivate to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud said in disbelief, ��Sovereign Extreme Qi Supplementing Pill! This �� This is a grade five cultivation heavenly pill, a-are you really going to give it to us?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Our common goal is the Pill Alliance! The stronger you all are, the less fearful the Pill Alliance will be! Enough, take them!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s expression was solemn and he said, ��Younger Brother Ye, you repaid evil with good and are broadminded; this exalt admires! You rest assured, this exalt will definitely go all out to destroy the Pill Alliance!��


    The others also expressed their stands one after another.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This isn��t just for me. It��s also for yourselves. I believe everyone! Alright, there��s still a Scripture Library in front, let��s go together and have a look.��


    As he said, Ye Yuan led the way and continued deeper in.


    Back then, when the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s mountain pass gates were breached, this outer-sect��s losses were relatively small instead.


    Actually, a lot of those corrupt corpses outside were the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciples.


    They were actually killed by the aftermath of the powerhouses�� battles.


    As for the things here, they were relatively well-preserved.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan found the scripture library under Mi Tian��s guidance.


    This was just the outer-sect��s Scripture Library. There were not a lot of profound stuff. But, to these people, it was sufficient.


    There were many cultivation methods in the Scripture Library.


    To these Jade Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens, they naturally behaved like they obtained priceless treasures.


    Ye Yuan was not very interested in these. The things he was more interested in were the alchemy path and formation path records.


    ��Eh, Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook!��


    Ye Yuan discovered that this name was written on a jade slip and immediately became interested.


    ��Kid, this thing is a good thing to you! Back then, the Labyrinth Divine Palace was extremely powerful. There are none of the natural treasures of all the heavens that they can��t obtain! Therefore, their powerful heavenly alchemists also listed an extremely detailed heavenly medicine catalog! It��s estimated that 80% of all the heavens�� heavenly medicines were recorded in it. Of course, apart from this Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook, they still have illustrations of other rare materials, so on and so forth. However, this is the most suitable for you!��


    Mi Tian talked about this as if enumerating his family��s valuables.


    The reason why he was so familiar with the Labyrinth Divine Palace was that he was on extremely close terms with one of the palace masters.


    At that time, Mi Tian was the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s frequent guest.


    It was just that sadly, that palace master fell later on.


    And his successor was also the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s last palace master. Although his strength was head and shoulders above all others, his ambition was also extremely inflated, resulting in leading to the results later on.


    When Ye Yuan heard, his eyes could not help lighting up.


    This Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook was simply too important to him!


    With it, Ye Yuan��s alchemy path would go even more smoothly!


    Sinking his divine sense in, one image after another, and words, were displayed in front of Ye Yuan.


    The records of those heavenly medicines were all extremely detailed.


    One had to know, every one of those heavenly alchemists in the Labyrinth Divine Palace had the ability to shock the heavens.


    Although Ye Yuan was extremely talented, the current him was still too weak compared to those people.


    The medicinal properties of these heavenly medicines, growth environment, so on and so forth, were all recorded one by one.


    ��There��s actually such a thing! What Senior said is right. This is indeed too important to me!�� Ye Yuan said happily.


    Briefly browsing through some of the heavenly medicines, Ye Yuan discovered that the descriptions on it were virtually identical to his own understanding!


    The depths of these heavenly alchemists�� skill could be seen!


    The medicinal properties of these heavenly medicines from grade one to grade four, Ye Yuan could be said to know them like the back of his hand!


    Ye Yuan examined his own conscience. On the Rainclear Continent, most likely apart from Li Changsheng, there was no one more formidable than him.


    But these heavenly alchemists were really formidable.


    ��Huhu, this old man knew that you needed this thing. That��s why I specifically guided you to come here. Apart from this, there��s also the Formation Dao Nine Thousand Scrolls over there. However, this place is just the outer-sect. It likely won��t be the entire book. In the future, when your strength is sufficient, you can enter the true Labyrinth Divine Palace. That place is where the real treasures are. However, when the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s mountain pass gates were smashed back then, it��s likely that the treasures inside have all been moved out by people. Whether or not you can find it will depend on your luck,�� Mi Tian said with a smile.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help being captivated.


    This Labyrinth Divine Palace was really full of treasures everywhere!


    The number one major sect across every heaven and myriad worlds was really not a boast!

 Chapter 2746 - Peerless Heaven’s Chosen!

    Chapter 2746: Peerless Heaven��s Chosen!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Younger Brother Ye, we really made a killing this time! These cultivation method secret books are enough to let us cultivate to True Sovereign Heaven!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud grinned, almost laughing until his mouth was crooked.


    The grudges with Ye Yuan previously, he had also long flung it beyond the ninth heaven.


    He had entered many mystic realms in this lift before, but the harvest was also not as great as this time when added up!


    Cultivation methods, martial techniques, grandmist treasure, heavenly pills, it was simply unbelievably amazing.


    Reality proved that following Ye Yuan would have meat to eat, while opposing Ye Yuan would lead to the result of dying faster.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, you really don��t want these cultivation method secret books?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun still did not dare to believe it as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I don��t lack these; you all keep them for yourselves.��


    ��Oh, alright then. Thank you, Younger Brother Ye!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said with an excited look.


    Mi Tian said that the cultivation method secret books here were supreme scriptures to ordinary folks.


    But it did not hold a candle to the Wordless Heavenly Skill.


    If it was where the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s true mountain pass gates were, those cultivation methods would be the real treasures.


    However, even if Ye Yuan obtained them, he had no need to cultivate either.


    The Wordless Heavenly Skill was also at the top level even if placed in the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    Furthermore, the cultivation method that Ye Yuan cultivated was of the same lineage. There would be no benefits to change to other cultivation methods.


    As for martial techniques, Ye Yuan had always walked the path of pioneering.


    Unless it was some powerful auxiliary secret art, otherwise, Ye Yuan rarely practiced them.


    These books were divided up very quickly.


    Of course, if not for Ye Yuan presiding over the overall situation, this bunch of guys would have long started killing.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, where are we going next? Continue advancing or going out?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud asked.


    They were already following Ye Yuan��s lead now.


    At least in this Labyrinth Divine Palace, if Ye Yuan made them head east, they definitely would not dare to go west.


    Leaving Ye Yuan was too dangerous!


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��m going to cultivate now. Are you all going together or going out first?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was taken aback and said, ��Cultivating? In here?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Walking past this corridor, there��s a venue for training disciples. Since we came, we naturally can��t waste it.��


    Cultivating here was naturally Mi Tian giving pointers.


    In the past few decades, Ye Yuan devoted himself to closed-seclusion cultivation, his realm and alchemy path strength advancing by leaps and bounds. But he fell behind in the aspect of rule comprehension.


    At present, Ye Yuan��s three great rules still remained at the third level.


    The eruption previously was also by relying on the sharpness of his weapon.


    ��Disciple? Younger Brother Ye, what��s there to cultivate at the disciples training venue?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Saint Sovereign Heavenly Stratum is the threshold for the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciples. No matter how talented the Jade Sovereign Heaven, they aren��t qualified enough either.��


    The moment everyone heard, their eyeballs almost popped out.


    ��What? Younger Brother Ye, this joke �� is too much!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said with a look of disbelief.


    ��Yeah, Saint Sovereign Heavens are rulers of a region no matter what. When they arrive at the Labyrinth Divine Palace, they are just gate-guarding disciples?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun also said in disbelief.


    These Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were aloof from worldly affairs in Rainclear Continent, their status being loftly.


    They naturally knew that there was a mountain beyond mountain, and that there was always someone better. There was still True Sovereign Heaven above Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But even so, they also did not feel that they only had the fate of being a disciple.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Whether to believe it or not is up to you guys. Are you all going out now or going to cultivate together with me?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud snorted coldly and said, ��This exalt wants to see just how this Labyrinth Divine Palace trains disciples!��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun nodded and said, ��This exalt wants to witness it too!��


    The other saint exalts also nodded one after another, clearly all very unconvinced.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Since that��s the case, come with me then.��


    Over time, many powerful dangers naturally bred within the palace.


    However, with Mi Tian��s guidance, Ye Yuan made use of the power of the restrictions and eradicated many dangers.


    The group of Saint Sovereign Heavens followed Ye Yuan in shock and anxiety, their expressions changing again and again.


    Passing through a gloomy and dark corridor, a row of massive training grounds appeared in front of everyone.


    Ye Yuan brought everyone to a training ground. After fumbling, he discovered that there were several grooves not far away from the door.


    Ye Yuan took out a bunch of heavenly crystals and fitted them into the grooves.


    Very soon, this training ground lit up like a machine being activated.


    When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he smiled and said, ��Luckily, the training ground wasn��t wrecked.��


    Light lit up in the training ground. However, no overly soul-stirring scene appeared.


    Everything was as usual!


    But at this time, a light screen suddenly appeared on the wall of the training ground.


    Rows of names appeared on it.


    ��Labyrinth Divine Palace outer-sect, number one Saint Sovereign Heaven in history, Jun Tianxiao!��


    ��Labyrinth Divine Palace outer-sect, number two Saint Sovereign Heaven in history, Zuo Wentian!��


    �� ��


    ��Labyrinth Divine Palace outer-sect, number one hundredth Saint Sovereign Heaven in history, Sun Qi!��


    100 names were displayed on this light screen.


    The names were not very soul-stirring, but the ��in history�� two words appeared particularly eye-catching!


    Others did not know, but Ye Yuan knew how powerful the Labyrinth Divine Palace was when it was glorious.


    At its peak, it was known for having a million disciples!


    And Mi Tian said that the Labyrinth Divine Palace had been passed down for dozens of generations, for as long as a million years!


    This kind of behemoth, being able to rank in the top 100, what kind of heaven��s chosen were they!


    Not talking about these dozens of generations, just the last generation of disciples.


    Ranking in the top 100 among a million Saint Sovereign Heavens, that was a terrifying to the extreme character!


    ��Heh, kid, these hundred people won��t bully people. You only have Jade Sovereign Heaven strength. They will face-off against you with their strength when they were at Jade Sovereign Heaven! If you can take down these hundred people, then your talent can absolutely rank in the top 100 of the 33 Heavens!�� Mi Tian was somewhat gloating over others�� misfortune as he said.


    The meaning of his words was very clear. It was that he did not feel that Ye Yuan could beat these hundred people.


    In fact, he was not even a match for the hundredth place.


    ��Senior, you��re �� not optimistic about me at all!�� Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Kid, don��t think that I��m looking down on you! My words are actually already flattering you a lot! Not everyone has the qualifications to challenge these hundred people! Those guys don��t even have the qualifications to challenge at all!��


    ��You don��t know how many overwhelmingly talented people had once appeared in the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s generations of disciples before! Being able to rank in the top hundred, their combat power doesn��t just reign supreme in their era! In the long river of history, they can laugh proudly across all the heavens too!��


    ��Among these people, as long as they didn��t fall, they basically all became Hegemon Realm super powerhouses later on! They roamed all the heavens unhindered, no one dared to provoke! Otherwise, how could the Labyrinth Divine Palace have the capital to want to unify all the heavens?��


    Ye Yuan knew that Mi Tian��s words were actually very objective.


    But Ye Yuan��s desire to excel was already stimulated by Mi Tian.


    Was he really inferior to these peerless heaven��s chosen?


    He, Ye Yuan, defied heaven step by step walking all the way, casting so many heaven��s chosen into the shade.


    Today, would he be bested by these former heaven��s chosen?

 Chapter 2747 - The Might of Heaven’s Chosen!

    Chapter 2747: The Might of Heaven��s Chosen!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Outer-sect! Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses are merely just outer-sect disciples?��


    ��Could it be that what Younger Brother Ye said is true? This Labyrinth Divine Palace is actually powerful to this extent?��


    ��This so-called cultivation room is just fighting with these 100 people? Huhu, what��s the use of such training?��


    �� ��


    Beyond the surprise, these Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses revealed disdainful looks very soon.


    In their view, the outer-sect��s top 100 was nothing more than this.


    On the Rainclear Continent, which of those capable of cultivating to Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm was not a peerless heaven��s chosen?


    They examined their own conscience and felt that even if they were inferior to this Labyrinth Divine Palace, they absolutely would not be much worse either.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There are ten cultivation rooms here. Here is the number one cultivation room! The other nine are powerhouses from the top 1000 to 101st place in the history of the Labyrinth Divine Palace! Why not everyone try it out first?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was the first to step out of the ranks and said with a smile, ��Younger Brother Ye, your alchemy path strength is indeed unparalleled under the heavens! But I think that this Labyrinth Divine Palace��s cultivation room is also nothing more than this. If we can��t even win these people, then we can forget about muddling along. How about this? I��ll test out the strength of this 100th place first!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. He did an inviting gesture.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud assumed his responsibility too and went straight to the center of the cultivation room.


    While the others sized it up with curious faces, looking at just how strong this so-called history��s top 100 was.


    The moment Saint Exalt Waycloud��s footsteps stopped, the entire cultivation room seemed to suddenly come to life.


    A figure stood with his hands behind his back and appeared in front of Saint Exalt Waycloud.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud smiled confidently and said, ��You��re the so-called hundredth place in history, Sun Qi? I think that it��s also merely so-so!��


    The other party��s cultivation realm was identical with Saint Exalt Waycloud��s.


    Sun Qi was merely an illusory figure. But, seeing Saint Exalt Waycloud, his brows furrowed and he said, ��You��re too weak. This cultivation room isn��t suitable for you!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s expression turned cold when he heard that and he said disdainfully, ��Punk, stop pretending to be capable! If you have the ability, win against this exalt before talking!��


    Sun Qi shook his head slightly and he said, ��The cultivation rooms don��t kill people. But, if you��re forcefully challenging the top 100, be prepared to get seriously injured!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud gave a cold snort, his body immediately erupting with a powerful pressure.


    ��Great Dipper Heaven Massacring Palm!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud roared, a palm striking until the void trembled.


    The strength of a Saint Sovereign Heaven was displayed to the fullest expression of its beauty and form at this moment.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud not being able to win Big Yellow did not mean that he was weak.


    In reality, he could rank in the top five among lower Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    It was also precisely because of his deterrent force that the Seven-star Heavenly Sect could become True Yang Heavenly Domain��s number one heavenly sect.


    When Sun Qi saw the situation, he just shook his head slightly.


    With one hand behind his back, his right hand formed his fingers as a sword and he pointed a finger out casually.


    Pffft!


    In just an instant, Sun Qi��s finger tapped onto Saint Exalt Waycloud��s chest.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly and flew out backward.


    This finger already made him sustain heavy injuries.


    ��Too weak! With your measly strength, challenging the 1000th place isn��t enough either!�� Sun Qi said and then disappeared.


    The expressions of each and every one of the powerhouses present changed abruptly.


    This Sun Qi was seriously too strong!


    That finger earlier was too ordinary and insignificant. There wasn��t the slightest undulation at all.


    Whatever Saint Sovereign Heaven pressure, whatever Great Dao power, none at all!


    That finger was just like the most ordinary finger. It was as if it was tapped by a mortal.


    But Saint Exalt Waycloud could not defend at all!


    Such an attack method simply subverted their understanding.


    ��This is also too fake! How did he do it?��


    ��Is this the strength of the top 100? It��s simply instantly killing in the same rank!��


    ��This isn��t an ordinary instant kill! He doesn��t even have divine essence undulation!��


    �� ��


    The group of Saint Sovereign Heavens finally realized the unusual aspect of this cultivation room.


    Even Ye Yuan��s complexion turned slightly white too.


    That finger just now, if it was him, he could not stand up to it either.


    Although there wasn��t the slightest divine essence undulation, this finger of Sun Qi��s already glimpsed the origin of Great Dao.


    In front of him, Saint Exalt Waycloud��s attack was full of flaws from head to toe!


    Formless, winning moves!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s complexion was deathly pale, fresh blood spurting out of his mouth continuously.


    This blow inflicted heavy wounds on him.


    If the other party had the intention to kill, he would already be a corpse now.


    The opponent was too strong!


    At this time, Big Yellow suddenly spoke up, ��Let me test it out!��


    Ye Yuan did not stop him and said with a nod, ��Who do you want to challenge?��


    Big Yellow said, ��The top 100 is too strong, I won��t be a match even if I cultivate another ten thousand years! Let me try challenging the 1000th place first!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and brought everyone to the tenth cultivation room. Inserting heavenly crystals, it lit the cultivation room up once again.


    A hundred names appeared on the light screen once more.


    The 1000th place, Wang Xiyun, was a woman.


    Big Yellow chose Wang Xiyun��s name and stepped into the training ground.


    With Big Yellow challenging someone, each and every one of the powerhouses present was waiting to see the battle.


    Big Yellow��s strength was obvious to all.


    Even if he faced off against a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, he was not without the power to fight either.


    At Saint Sovereign Heaven this realm, he was already unbelievably strong to be able to jump realms and battle.


    The projection of a beautiful woman appeared in front of everyone, looking harmless to man and beast.


    She glanced at Big Yellow and said with a frown, ��True spirit?��


    Big Yellow was not long-winded either and said, ��Please give guidance!��


    Wang Xiyun nodded slightly, Big Yellow��s body started contorting.


    The moment he made his move, it was the strongest Coquettish Profligate Hoof.


    This posture made everyone want to burst out laughing, but they could not laugh.


    Because they knew that this hoof was really very powerful!


    The reason why Big Yellow overpowered the Saint Sovereign Heavens present was by relying on this hoof.


    Wang Xiyun��s face had no changes in expression, as if indifferent to this hoof.


    It was only to see her exquisite palm strike lightly. A powerful surge of rule power spewed out.


    Bang!


    Wang Xiyun did not move an inch and Big Yellow��s body flew out backward.


    Just one palm and Big Yellow was already injured!


    Big Yellow was thick and solid. He was indifferent after receiving this palm and kicked a hoof out again, clashing against Wang Xiyun.


    Same as Sun Qi, Wang Xiyun did not erupt with too much power.


    Everything was calm and collected.


    But, each time Big Yellow clashed with Wang Xiyun��s palm, he would spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    The powerhouses present watched until their faces looked deathly pale.


    Big Yellow was an existence capable of jumping realms and fighting. But, in front of the 1000th place, he was unbelievably weak!


    Furthermore, they could tell that Wang Xiyun was accommodating and tempering Big Yellow. Otherwise, Big Yellow would have been defeated long ago.


    Bang!


    Wang Xiyun saw a gap and pressed a palm on Big Yellow��s chest.


    Big Yellow spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly and flew out backward.


    This time, he no longer had the power to fight.


    However, Big Yellow��s eyes became brighter.


    Clearly, this battle had benefited him!


    But the others were shocked.


    ��How can this Labyrinth Divine Palace be so strong? The 1000th place disciple, even Saint Exalt Big Yellow isn��t a match!��


    ��Looks like that Sun Qi previously probably didn��t use much strength at all to face-off with Saint Exalt Waycloud!��


    ��I somewhat believe Brother Ye��s words now!��


    �� ��


    The two battles made these Saint Sovereign Heavens realize that they were really too weak!

 Chapter 2748 - First Taste of Defeat!

    Many people were unconvinced and also tested their abilities.


    But, without exception, it was virtually the conclusion of being one-shotted.


    Only Big Yellow lasted more than ten moves.


    For a moment, the confidence of the group of Jade Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens were beaten down to the extreme.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, you come and try?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud gave a look and said.


    Ye Yuan was the one who proposed to cultivate. In the end, in this current situation, there was no way to cultivate at all!


    They wanted to see how Ye Yuan would cultivate.


    In reality, they did not harbor much hope for Ye Yuan��s combat power.


    Ye Yuan killing an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven with one sword, it relied more on the advantage of his weapon.


    How powerful could a grade four heavenly alchemist be?


    Ye Yuan just smiled and returned to the first cultivation room.


    He was not long-winded either, directly choosing the 100th place Sun Qi.


    When everyone saw the situation, they could not help exchanging glances.


    This guy was also too confident, right?


    Sun Qi��s illusion appeared again. He looked at Ye Yuan and could not help frowning slightly as he said, ��Jade Sovereign Heaven? Really weak!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Weak or not, you��ll only know after fighting.��


    Finished talking, Ye Yuan pointed his finger, 16 transformed flying swords emerged with a howl.


    Sun Qi��s eyes lit up and he said with a light smile, ��A little interesting!��


    While speaking, Sun Qi also pointed at the void. A long sword was condensed out of thin air.


    Sun Qi was at the level of achieving Great Dao Transformation too!


    ��Great Dao Transformation! Fine lad! No wonder Younger Brother Ye is brimming with confidence! I didn��t expect that he��s actually a transformation powerhouse! Furthermore, he has already metamorphosed to the third form!��


    ��Alchemy Dao is so monstrous; I didn��t expect that his Martial Dao is so terrifying too!��


    ��Looks like he wants to sharpen himself and improve his Great Dao Transformation to the fourth form!��


    ��I��m afraid that it��s not that easy! Three laws transformation, wanting to improve it is far too difficult!��


    When everyone heard that, they all nodded their heads.


    In reality, the majority of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present were amazingly talented individuals.


    Otherwise, they would not have been able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven either.


    There were many among them who had once grasped Great Dao Transformation.


    But, the further back Great Dao Transformation was, the more difficult the metamorphosis would be.


    The comprehension difficulty of rule power was an inverted pyramid.


    The further up, the difficulty would increase exponentially.


    Reaching True Sovereign Heaven, wanting to comprehend an equivalent level of rank six rule power was simply harder than ascending to heaven.


    Compared to the increase in cultivation realm, the comprehension of rule power was undoubtedly more difficult.


    The increase in realm could be assisted with heavenly pills, and there was also the augmentation of cultivation method.


    A good cultivation method could yield twice the results with half the effort in cultivation.


    But the power of rules depended completely on a martial artist to comprehend little by little and accumulate bit by bit. Another way was for it to be comprehended in the middle of battle.


    Comprehending the power of rule was difficult to begin with.


    And comprehending the power of rule to reach the extent of obtaining Heavenly Dao��s recognition, was even more doubly difficult.


    Especially when it reached the fifth level, the comprehension of rules was even difficult to the extreme.


    Therefore, these people simply gave up.


    Rather than using a low-level form of Great Dao Transformation, it was more powerful to use cultivation realm and act in concert with the power of rules.


    From Sublime Realm to Sovereign Realm, it was a huge leap to begin with.


    One law transformation was already extremely difficult, let alone three laws transformation.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s approach was completely wasting time in the eyes of these people.


    In a blink, Ye Yuan already exchanged several dozen moves with Sun Qi.


    This kind of combat power also left everyone in great shock.


    However, after several dozen moves, Ye Yuan��s signs of defeat also gradually became visible.


    Sun Qi was well-deserving of being in the top 100 in the history of the Labyrinth Divine Palace. His combat power was formidable to the extreme.


    Furthermore, there were four light halos on the hilt of his sword, which also showed that he was at the fourth form!


    Ye Yuan also felt the pressure, his opponent��s strength was really too strong.


    Sun Qi was just a one law transformation, but he specialized in one path and walked very far in Sword Dao.


    His combat power overwhelmed Ye Yuan until he could not catch his breath.


    Pffft!


    After a hundred moves, Sun Qi finally found a tiny opportunity in Ye Yuan��s sword formation and pierced through Ye Yuan��s chest with a sword.


    Ye Yuan was defeated!


    Sun Qi��s figure did not dissipate immediately, but he said to Ye Yuan, ��You��re very strong! After your Great Dao Transformation breaks through to the fourth form, I won��t be your match! However, I wasn��t outstanding when at Jade Sovereign Heaven. I truly became powerful after becoming the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciple! However, I��m very much looking forward to fighting with you again after you break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Everyone was stunned. It turned out that what Ye Yuan said was true!


    The lowest threshold for entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace was Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This kind of powerful sect, which of the disciples that could enter it was not an amazingly talented person?


    Ye Yuan was actually able to fight to this extent with a top 100 powerhouse!


    This also proved indirectly that Ye Yuan��s strength was powerful!


    Which was also to say that if they encountered Ye Yuan in the same rank, they could only be thrashed!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned slightly dark and he said with a nod, ��After I break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, I��ll definitely come here again!��


    Coming all the way, Ye Yuan crushed his peers and jumped realms to challenge.


    This was still his first time being defeated at the hands of a martial artist at the same rank.


    Ye Yuan had a level-headed disposition and it was naturally not that he could not accept this result.


    But this defeat also stoked his competitive spirit again!


    This match earlier, he had been in a situation of passively taking a beating all along, starting from the first move.


    Being able to last a hundred moves, it was completely by relying on his keen fighting instincts.


    If it were others, even if they comprehended three laws transformation, it was likely hard to last 30 moves too!


    The opponent was powerful until it was suffocating!


    This cultivation room could record down the strongest form of disciples and project them.


    Killing their way into the top hundred in history, each of these people was powerful to the extreme.


    Because this cultivation room only recorded the top 1000!


    Future generation disciples would continuously refresh and eliminate their seniors, leaving their figures in here.


    Those able to get left behind were all experts among experts, geniuses among geniuses!


    In reality, Ye Yuan being able to last until now with three laws transformation was already a miracle.


    But what he wanted was not this!


    So what if Labyrinth Divine Palace?


    So what if being among the top hundred in history?


    He, Ye Yuan, would never admit defeat!


    Not as good as you, then I��ll cultivate until I defeat everybody!


    Sun Qi nodded slightly and said, ��Are you still coming?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head. Swallowing a heavenly pill, his injuries recovered rapidly.


    He did not hesitate either, leaping and entering the training ground again.


    ��Younger Brother Ye��s fighting instinct is terrifyingly strong! Even if cultivation and rules are the exact same as his, wanting to win him is immensely difficult too!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said with a solemn expression.


    It was not that he had not seen geniuses before.


    But he had really not met a genius like Ye Yuan before.


    Those present were not rookies, but old fellows who had lived to a ripe old age.


    When Ye Yuan was at 30 moves, signs of defeat were already revealed. But he forcefully lasted a hundred moves!


    Not everyone could achieve this sort of thing.


    Waycloud nodded and said, ��This guy is simply born for battle! When Sun Qi was at the 43rd move, I thought that Ye Yuan would definitely lose.. Who knew that he actually utilized spatial rule to dodge it! This kind of application is simply brilliant to the max! If it��s off by a tiny bit, it won��t work no matter what! This guy��s potential is too great!��

 Chapter 2749 - Win One by One!

    Chapter 2749: Win One by One!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This is already the 223rd match! Doesn��t this guy know fatigue?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun��s face showed some admiration.


    Starting from the first match, Ye Yuan and Sun Qi had already fought 223rd matches in a month��s time!


    During this, apart from regulating his breathing and recovering his strength, Ye Yuan did not rest for a moment.


    This kind of high intensity battles, even if they were Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, they were unable to bear it too.


    Fighting like this, regardless of whether it was mentally or physically, it would be in an extremely tense state.


    Under this kind of extreme state, ordinary people would go crazy after continuing it for a long time.


    Even if it was a cultivation maniac, they would not be able to accomplish this too.


    It could be seen from this how powerful Ye Yuan��s willpower was!


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune let out a sigh and said, ��This guy��s talent is too strong! In one month, he didn��t win a single match, but the improvement in strength is too obvious! Now, he can already fight with Sun Qi for more than a thousand moves!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud said, ��Not only that, his transformed swords already reached 33, the power skyrocketing! The third form already reached the realm of major accomplishment and is already not far from grand completion anymore!��


    The group of powerhouses witnessed Ye Yuan��s growth in this one month with their own eyes.


    It could only be described using four words: struck dumb with amazement!


    This guy��s improvement was too fast!


    In virtually every battle, Ye Yuan would have growth!


    From the initial 100 moves to 150 moves, 300 moves, all the way until now, more than 1000 moves, Ye Yuan had practically fought to a draw with Sun Qi!


    This kind of improvement speed was something that they did not even dare to imagine.


    They all scoffed when Ye Yuan came to cultivate initially.


    But now, no one spoke.


    Being able to cultivate to Saint Sovereign Heaven, these big shots examined their own conscience and felt that their talent was not worse than anyone else.


    But now, facing Ye Yuan, they were only left with shame because of their inadequacy.


    Both sides were people from completely different worlds!


    At this time, Ye Yuan was currently in the midst of fierce fighting with Sun Qi.


    Today, a month later, he was practically no longer in a disadvantageous position when fighting with Sun Qi.


    And this was still under the circumstances that Ye Yuan had not broken through to the fourth form!


    Battle was never about purely competing with one��s cultivation realm.


    Ye Yuan��s application of sword formations already reached the extent where it was mastered to perfection.


    His comprehension of the three great rules grew deeper with each passing day.


    Three laws transformation, want to maintain the greatest power, that required the coordination of three great rules.


    If one had a shortcoming or there was one that was too strong, it would break the balance of transformation, causing the power to be lacking.


    In this one month, Ye Yuan really gleaned significant benefits from fighting with the other party.


    Sun Qi��s strength was absolutely formidable to the extreme.


    One should not look at how he was only ranked 100th. Among the young geniuses that spanned all the heavens, that was at the level of looking down proudly at the world!


    Under such overwhelming pressure, Ye Yuan��s potential was also being squeezed out.


    Ye Yuan had once comprehended the sword on the seven great sea regions�� nameless island.


    After that, Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao had been staying on top of the other two Daos.


    But, after this month of tempering, Ye Yuan��s three great rules had already advanced together and fused into one again!


    These three great rules were not some cabbages.


    Especially spatial rule, the power was not the slightest bit weaker compared to some three laws or five laws too!


    These three great rules coordinating and unifying let Ye Yuan��s combat power soar crazily.


    ��Chop!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan howled, 33 transformed swords suddenly condensing into one, bursting forth with a dazzling light.


    Chopping down with a sword, Sun Qi was sent flying out together with his sword.


    The powerhouses present stared dumbfounded with their mouths agape once more.


    ��This �� he won?��


    ��One month, defeating a heaven��s chosen! This guy is really impressive!��


    ��Us old fellows should really find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with! No way, Your Father is going to cultivate too!��


    ��Someone a hundred times more talented than you, who is also a hundred times more diligent than you, what qualifications do you have to be lazy? Your Father is going to cultivate too!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan defeating Sun Qi with one sword deeply triggered the powerhouses present.


    Not because Ye Yuan��s talent was great, but it was because of Ye Yuan��s diligence!


    Strong talent, that was Heaven showing favor, it could not be changed.


    But some things could be changed!


    Ye Yuan��s diligence made these old fellows perspire from embarrassment.


    Sun Qi was just a projection. His defeat did not result in any damage.


    Very soon, he recovered back to new and looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��I lost! You��re more outstanding than me in the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven!��


    After one month of tempering, he finally won against Sun Qi. This also made him very happy.


    ��When I reach Saint Sovereign Heaven, I��ll similarly be more outstanding than you!�� Ye Yuan said confidently.


    Sun Qi shook his head lightly and said, ��When I entered the sect, I couldn��t even rank into the top 100 thousand people in the sect! But, a hundred years later, I crushed my peers and squeezed into the top ten! The Jade Sovereign Heaven me and Saint Sovereign Heaven me, they completely can��t be mentioned in the same breath.��


    These words shocked the powerhouses present again!


    100 thousandth place!


    Great Dao Transformation fourth form could only rank 100 thousandth place in the Labyrinth Divine Palace?


    This �� was simply nuts!


    However, this Sun Qi was a model of inspiration too.


    Ever since entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he actually leaped over the metaphorical dragon gate and soared to the sky in one leap, killing his way into the top ten after 100 years!


    This top ten referred to the contemporary era��s top ten.


    But the young powerhouses recorded in this cultivation room were the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s powerhouses through the ages.


    For countless years, the Labyrinth Divine Palace produced countless amazingly talented people. For Sun Qi to be able to squeeze into the top ten, it was sufficient to show what kind of level he grew to in the future!


    Ye Yuan��s brows also furrowed when he heard it.


    This was really quite demoralizing!


    However, he also yearned for Saint Sovereign Heaven even more.


    After reaching the realm of the Saint Sovereign Heaven, he must make a trip here!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��To me, it��s all the same! You aren��t my goal!��


    Sun Qi just smiled and said, ��You have to be careful when challenging those guys in front! Some of them are true geniuses, crushing all the way from Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm! I��ve fought countless matches in the cultivation room and challenged them countless times, but I failed to succeed too! They are strong until it makes people despair!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��Rest assured, I��ll win one by one!��


    ��I hope so!�� After Sun Qi finished talking, his figure disappeared.


    When the others heard, they were even more speechless.


    Especially those Jade Sovereign Heavens, they were already demoralized until they were battered black and blue all over.


    Against 100 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens, what kind of terrifying scene was that?


    Among 100 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens, killing until the top 100, how horrifying was that?!


    No, this top 100 was not just the 100th place among 100 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens, but the 100th place among countless Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    ��Sigh, we��re really frogs at the bottom of a well! The Rainclear Continent is too small!��


    ��No wonder! No wonder after those true geniuses attained Dao, they all wanted to take the sea route and attempt to reach the other side1!��


    Big Yellow looked at Ye Yuan��s back view and left silently, walking towards the tenth cultivation room.


    If it was before, he only willingly followed Ye Yuan because he could refine pills.


    However, now, he was really impressed!


    Ye Yuan was completely not what a tiny little Rainclear Continent could trap!


    His stage was on the other side of the sea!

 Chapter 2750 - Insurmountable Opponent!

    Chapter 2750: Insurmountable Opponent!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��No way, can��t hold on anymore! This kind of cultivation, I can��t see any hope at all!��


    ��Too strong! Strong until it makes people despair!!


    ��Could it be that Brother Ye is a wooden head? After a series of failures, he can actually endure!��


    �� ��


    In the number ten cultivation room, wailing sounds were continuous.


    The opponent was too strong, they despaired greatly.


    Ye Yuan��s improvement stimulated these people, they came to the number one cultivation room to cultivate one after another.


    The cultivation room was very big, enough to accommodate hundreds of people!


    The opponent that they chose was all the 1000th place Wang Xiyun.


    But, even if it was the 1000th place, they ended up being thrashed brutally too.


    Being abused time and again, this was not a good experience.


    They discovered to their dismay that no matter how hard they worked, it was impossible to surpass Wang Xiyun.


    Even if Wang Xiyun was in the state of Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    However, at the thought of how Ye Yuan could actually fight over 200 matches in a row, they could not help but admire Ye Yuan even more.


    Cultivation required confidence too.


    Consecutive losses after fighting and going on a constant losing streak, this kind of high intensity cultivation was not what everyone could persevere with.


    However, there was a figure that remained persistant in the grand array.


    Saint Exalt Big Yellow!


    At this time, Big Yellow returned to his original form. Teetering on his feet under Wang Xiyun��s heavy pressure, he looked like he was about to lose.


    They had already fought close to a hundred matches, Big Yellow lost all of them without exception!


    ��Big stupid bull, you��re a little stronger than those guys, but you��re still too dumb! This kind of cultivation doesn��t hold much significance to you. Better to give up,�� Wang Xiyun dealt Big Yellow a palm casually and said with enough strength left to spare.


    Big Yellow gritted his teeth and said, ��I know that I��m stupid, but I can��t give up! Giving up here, I��ll never be able to keep up with Master Ye��s footsteps anymore!��


    Wang Xiyun said in surprise, ��Is this Master Ye that you speak of very formidable?��


    Big Yellow said, ��Of course he��s very formidable! He��s even more formidable than you!��


    Wang Xiyun snorted coldly and smacked Big Yellow flying with a palm and said, ��You people, each is weaker than the other, how strong can he be?��


    Big Yellow did not care and crawled to his feet and said, ��Half a month ago, he already won the 100th place Sun Qi! Do you think he��s strong or not?��


    A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Xiyun��s beautiful eyes and she said, ��He actually defeated Sun Qi!��


    Big Yellow nodded and said, ��That was still the battle result of half a month ago! Now, he must have walked even further!��


    Wang XIyun said disdainfully, ��The top 100 powerhouses, each is more monstrous than the last. Do you really think that it��s so easy to win?��


    Big Yellow did not explain either, continuing to practice.


    �� ��


    Over here, many people could not take this kind of high intensity cultivation and returned to the number one cultivation room again to watch Ye Yuan cultivate.


    The moment they came, they could not help jumping in fright.


    ��This �� This is Qiu Chen who is 89th place?��


    ��So fast! It��s only been a short half a month. Younger Brother Ye directly challenged ten people already?��


    ��Impossible! He must have directly skipped the ten people in front! You all look, it��s just a few moves and he already can��t hold on anymore! The two people��s gap is too big!��


    �� ��


    At this time, the opponent that Ye Yuan was fighting was Qiu Chen who was ranked 89th.


    The cultivation room did not limit the opponents to challenge. Cultivators could challenge anyone at any time.


    Of course, if the opponent that you chose was too strong, it was basically the outcome of being one-shotted. There would be no cultivation effect at all, wasting heavenly crystals in vain.


    This cultivation room consumed a lot of heavenly crystals. Ye Yuan was not immensely wealthy and could not afford such consumption either.


    Bang!


    In the sword formation, Qiu Chen struck a palm out, directly shattering Ye Yuan��s sword formation.


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, flying out backward.


    Merely ten moves from start to end!


    This Qiu Chen��s strength was much stronger than Sun Qi��s.


    Qiu Chen was the strongest opponent that Ye Yuan encountered in this half a month.


    In Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm, his strength was powerful until it made people despair!


    This guy was strong all the way from Jade Sovereign Heaven to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    In reality, these heaven��s chosen were already extremely powerful before Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But, after entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, these people became even more monstrous.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s reputation as the number one great sect was no joke.


    But this Qiu Chen was clearly already freakishly powerful at Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Compared to the rest, his improvement in Saint Sovereign Heaven was not that great.


    ��You are too weak!�� Qiu Chen appeared very haughty and cold as he said coolly.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and did not speak.


    This cultivation room could even project the personalities of these geniuses back then.


    There was naturally no need to get angry with an illusion.


    What he wanted to do was beat the opponent.


    This Qiu Chen was indeed amazingly talented. Being at the Middle Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm, he was actually five laws transformation!


    Furthermore, he already cultivated to the realm of grand completion fourth form!


    Ye Yuan reckoned that Qiu Chen��s ranking in Jade Sovereign Heaven might be even stronger than the 50th place!


    However, he did not plan on changing opponents.


    Ye Yuan had his own pride too!


    ��Younger Brother Ye, it isn��t very effective for you to challenge by skipping like this. It��s better to do it routinely.�� By the side, the Saint Exalt Skyfortune who was finished being abused urged.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and knew that the other party was mistaken and said with a smile, ��There��s no harm.��


    Finished saying, he meditated to regulate his breathing for a moment and entered battle again.


    With 13 moves, defeated again!


    Fighting again, 12 moves, defeated again!


    Round after round, it was as if Ye Yuan did not know exhaustion, continuing to fight like a moth flying into the fire.


    When Saint Exalt Skyfortune saw the situation, he shook his head slightly and said, ��This opponent is too strong. There��s no meaning in Younger Brother Ye persisting like this!��


    By the side, Saint Exalt Purplesun smiled and said, ��Younger Brother Ye is peerlessly talented and arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. He can��t accept this fact. But, this opponent, he really chose wrongly!��


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune nodded and said, ��Five laws transformation, grand completion fourth form. This kind of attainment is virtually invincible in Jade Sovereign Heaven! Cultivating to grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, it��s likely that he won��t be in a disadvantageous position in the slightest when facing off with us! This kind of genius is too difficult to surpass!��


    Saint Sovereign Heaven versus Jade Sovereign Heaven, that was absolutely overpowering!


    Even if one reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, they were also not a foe that could last one exchange with a Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    This was the difference in level, it was not what a bit of rule power could change.


    But, even they all, these Saint Sovereign Heavens, acknowledged Qiu Chen��s strength. It could be seen how strong he was!


    ��Actually, even if he loses to the opponent, it��s not some shameful thing either. Younger Brother Ye he is already strong enough!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun said.


    ��Yeah, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disparity is seriously too powerful! I can��t even last three moves with the 1000th place, Wang Xiyun! This kind of disparity, it can only make people give rise to despair in their hearts. It��s not even what one can call as cultivation or training at all!


    These people had already accepted reality.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciples were too strong!


    They were from completely different worlds from these Labyrinth Divine Palace disciples.


    Ye Yuan really encountered a formidable foe this time.


    In the Land of Exile, he had once encountered the five laws Han Yi.


    But this Qiu Chen was much stronger than Han Yi.


    A Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum��s five laws and a Jade Sovereign Heavenly Stratum��s five laws were totally different concepts.


    Because he was defeated too quickly, the matches were carried out quickly too.


    Over 30 matches, the longest that Ye Yuan lasted was merely 20 moves.


    His transformed swords were frail until they could not withstand a single hit in front of Qiu Chen.


    ��I advise that you don��t need to struggle anymore. I��m an opponent that you won��t be able to surmount.. Apart from obliterating your willpower, there��s no cultivation effect for you like this at all,�� Qiu Chen stood with his hands behind his back as he said haughtily.

 Chapter 2751 - Fourth Form, Counterattack!

    Chapter 2751: Fourth Form, Counterattack!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Insurmountable opponent? Huhu, you��re thinking too highly of yourself!�� Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.


    Qiu Chen looked at Ye Yuan coolly and said, ��The pride of a weakling doesn��t have the slightest use. Even if you don��t admit it, it��s impossible for you to last more than 20 moves in my hands. This is an undeniable fact!��


    ��Is that so? Then watch closely!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged and instantly entered a meditative state.


    Qiu Chen curled his mouth and turned his nose up at this.


    It was not just him. Saint Exalt Purplesun and the rest who were by the side also could not help shaking their heads.


    They acknowledged that Ye Yuan was peerlessly talented.


    But, compared to this one in front of him, he was still far too lacking.


    Saying this sort of words at this time did not have the slightest meaning apart from puffing himself up at his own cost.


    Saying ruthless words if you had the strength, that was called a counterattack.


    Saying ruthless words if you did not have the strength, that was called keeping up appearance to cover up the predicament.


    Clearly, the current Ye Yuan belonged to the latter.


    But this time, Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to regulate his breathing.


    Around him, three kinds of rule power were gradually spreading out, converging, and combining.


    A bud broke out of the ground in front of Ye Yuan.


    The bud grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye and germinated very quickly, growing into a sapling.


    Qiu Chen was the first to discover the anomaly and his brows could not help knitting together tightly.


    Saint Sovereign Purplesun and the rest of the Saint Sovereign Heavens also gradually detected the unusualness.


    The power of rule around Ye Yuan was currently growing strongly as if continuous heavy rain nourishing the sapling to grow.


    ��Could it be ���� Saint Exalt Purplesun��s pupils constricted slightly as he said.


    As if affirming his guess, the sapling continued growing and became a half-human height small tree.


    This was the third form!


    Many tender green branches grew on the young tree.


    Very soon, the power of rule around Ye Yuan reached a bottleneck.


    The young tree sapling also stopped growing.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan reached the final juncture of breakthrough.


    ��Shatter!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan roared, his eyes snapping open. His aura suddenly skyrocketed.


    Sword, Formation, Space, three great power of rules, they seemed to have breached the floodgate all of a sudden, flooding out frantically.


    The three power of rules broke through to the fourth level at the same time!


    Saint Exalt Purplesun��s entire body trembled and he cried out in surprise, ��Really broke through! Furthermore, it��s three great rules breaking the walls at the same time! It��s just that, the fusion of the fourth level of rule power ����


    Rule power breakthrough was one thing.


    Fusion was another thing.


    After breaking through, the balance of Great Dao Transformation was broken and needed to be fused anew.


    In Sublime Realm, the power of rules was far from as powerful as Sovereign Realm. Fusing it was relatively easier.


    But, reaching Sovereign Realm, the difficulty of fusion was not an ordinary kind of hard.


    But the three great power of rules circled around Ye Yuan rapidly, forming a large-scale grinding disc.


    That grinding disc linked the three great rules from end to end and started spinning.


    The small tree that had originally stopped growing started growing wildly again.


    This time, the young tree grew very crazily.


    Very soon, it grew to a human height small tree.


    The branches also gradually grew out and the tree leaves became lush.


    ��This �� It fused?�� Saint Exalt Purplesun stared dumbfoundedly.


    ��How on earth did this guy do it? This talent is also too monstrous!�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune swallowed his saliva and said.


    They were still looking down on Ye Yuan earlier. But in a blink of an eye, they had their faces slapped.


    Not only did Ye Yuan not crumble under Qiu Chen��s powerful pressure, but he also broke the fourth level barrier instead and broke through.


    Breaking through was fine, Ye Yuan even fused it right away


    ��He didn��t comprehend the rules one at a time, but he comprehended three together! This kind of comprehension method, the difficulty is more than a hundred times of comprehending three independently on their own! But the advantage is that once he broke through, he can fuse it right away and reach the transformed fourth state!�� Qiu Chen suddenly opened his mouth at this time and said.


    Everyone was extremely shocked when they heard.


    Comprehending three at the same time, what kind of monstrous comprehension ability was this!


    What was even more frightening was that this guy��s comprehension speed was also too fast.


    In just a short half a month, this guy actually broke through to the fourth form already!


    Finished fusing, Ye Yuan slowly stood up. The All-Encompassing Sacred Tree��s fourth form immediately turned into one flying sword after another and revolved around Ye Yuan.


    The fourth form, the flying swords that Ye Yuan was able to control directly rose to 108!


    Furthermore, the power of each flying sword rivaled heavenly spirit treasures too!


    At this time, his essence, energy, and spirit, immediately rose to the peak.


    Qiu Chen looked at him and said coolly, ��Even if you broke through to the fourth form, you��re not my match either.��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and similarly said coolly, ��So what? You��re merely my sparring opponent, that��s all. I��ll eventually surpass you!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan guided with his divine essence, 108 flying swords charged toward Qiu Chen in an instant.


    At this time, the power of the sword formation increased more than ten times compared to just now!


    Even Qiu Chen��s face revealed a solemn look too.


    Only to see his palm tense up, five flying knives shot out fiercely and clashed together with Ye Yuan��s 108 flying swords.


    This time, Qiu Chen was going all out!


    This was also the powerful aspect of the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    The opponent of this training ground was highly intelligent. They would attack according to the opponent��s strength.


    Actually, it was more like guiding and sparring with the younger generation.


    It was just that Purplesun and the rest were seriously too weak. Hence, they were unable to force out all of the heaven��s chosen��s strength at all.


    Otherwise, with the strength of these heaven��s chosen, Purplesun they all would have long died.


    This battle was clearly fought much more trepidatiously.


    Both sides fought all the way beyond a hundred moves before Qiu Chen breached Ye Yuan��s sword formation with his flying knives and defeated Ye Yuan.


    This was absolutely a huge improvement.


    Before this, Ye Yuan did not even make it past 20 moves.


    However, this was just the beginning.


    Having just broken through, Ye Yuan��s application of the fourth form and his control over the sword formation had not been mastered to the extent of perfection yet.


    Hence, he continued challenging Qiu Chen over and over again.


    From a hundred moves, fighting until 200 moves, then onto 500 moves!


    Both sides�� battle became more and more tense.


    Purplesun and the rest wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into as they watched by the side.


    This improvement was really too fast!


    Ye Yuan��s improvement speed was like a straight line; it would never turn a corner!


    Three months later, Ye Yuan fought Qiu Chen again!


    After more than 300 moves, a streak of sword light that Ye Yuan controlled broke through the blockade of the five flying knives bizarrely and pierced right through Qiu Chen.


    Ye Yuan won!


    Ye Yuan looked at Qiu Chen and said with a smile, ��Insurmountable opponent, I��ve surpassed you today!��


    Qiu Chen��s haughty face seemed a little sullenly angry.


    The words that he said more than three months ago, he had his face ruthlessly slapped at this moment!


    What was even more aggravating was that Ye Yuan��s current fourth form had merely just reached the realm of minor accomplishment.


    While his five laws transformation was already perfected!


    Which was also to say that it was actually equivalent to Ye Yuan jumping realms and defeating him.


    His pride was completely crushed at this moment.


    Three months ago, Ye Yuan was still a weakling that could not last more than 20 moves at his hands.


    Three months later, Ye Yuan already thoroughly completed the outperforming.


    In Jade Sovereign Heaven this realm, he was no longer Ye Yuan��s match!


    Purplesun and Skyfortune and the rest exchanged glances, shocked until it was incapable of increasing further.


    This also meant that as long as Ye Yuan reached grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, his combat power would no longer be inferior to theirs!

    Chapter 2752: Strength Soaring!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Really won �� I really dare not believe it!��


    ��From not lasting more than 20 moves to successfully counter-attack, could it be that this guy��s potential has no end?��


    ��To think that we were still ridiculing him previously; what a joke!��


    ��Perhaps, this is a true genius!��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun gave a long sigh and admitted his own superficialness.


    They had ruled the Rainclear Continent for tens of thousands of years and had seen before God knew how many geniuses.


    But those geniuses were simply like the firefly versus the bright moon in front of Ye Yuan; the disparity was too great!


    The impact of Ye Yuan winning Sun Qi a month ago was not as strong as currently too.


    Because they understood that the Jade Sovereign Heaven Sun Qi was not even worthy of carrying Qiu Chen��s shoes!


    One was outstanding among Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    But the other could rival Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    The gap was not imaginable.


    But Ye Yuan completed a virtually impossible counterattack in a short three and a half months�� time!


    Qiu Chen looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, ��Beating me in Jade Sovereign Heaven doesn��t mean anything! The ranking in this cultivation room is the ranking of Saint Sovereign Heaven! Jade Sovereign Heaven to Saint Sovereign Heaven is a massive threshold. Do you really think that you��re remarkable?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, after I break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, I��ll come again!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan walked out of the battlefield and started regulating his breathing to recover.


    However, he did not continue challenging the powerhouses in front but chose to continue fighting with Qiu Chen.


    Although he won Qiu Chen, his combat power was just about on par with Qiu Chen.


    Sure enough, in the following practices, the two people had wins and losses.


    But, along with the passage of time, Ye Yuan��s superiority gradually became clear.


    By the time Ye Yuan��s fourth form broke through to the realm of major accomplishment, Qiu Chen was no longer his match anymore.


    Completely crushing Qiu Chen also made everyone sigh endlessly.


    This was a rocket-like road to rise!


    After taking care of Qiu Chen, Ye Yuan continued challenging the powerhouses in front.


    Saint Exalt Purplesun discovered to their surprise that Ye Yuan actually crushed all the way.


    Only all the way until the 64th place did Ye Yuan encounter an opponent that was evenly matched in strength.


    Only then did they know that it turned out they were mistaken about Ye Yuan.


    It was not that Ye Yuan skipped opponents; he really charged over all the way according to the rankings.


    In a blink, three years passed.


    Three years�� time was merely a transient instant to these Saint Sovereign Heavens and Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    But they were demoralized from watching Ye Yuan fight until no part of their body was unhurt.


    After Qiu Chen, Ye Yuan charged all the way to 47th place!


    For three years, Ye Yuan did not sleep nor rest, entering a crazed cultivation state.


    It was not that he did not encounter powerful opponents during this.


    On the contrary, there were too many powerful opponents!


    Those able to enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace would not be mediocre people even in their Jade Sovereign Heaven era.


    Each of these people was peerless heaven��s chosen!


    Many people were the same as Qiu Chen, thrashing Ye Yuan in the beginning.


    But Ye Yuan became braver in the face of setbacks, suffering repeated defeats with each battle, finally crushing his opponent!


    No matter how strong his opponent was, how miserably he was defeated, it was unable to shake his resolve to become strong.


    Furthermore, he harbored the resolve of certain death to fight each battle.


    During the battles with the 51st place Zhao Yuesheng, Ye Yuan fought with the opponent until both sides suffered heavy wounds more than ten times. He was seriously injured on the verge of death.


    But, each time after recovering, he would throw himself into battle right away.


    That battle was fought until everyone was profoundly affected and on constant tenterhooks.


    But in the end, Ye Yuan finally broke through the realm of fourth form major accomplishment in the midst of battle and reached the pinnacle realm!


    Great Dao Transformation fourth form, every step forward was immensely difficult.


    Especially at the juncture of each minor realm, wanting to break through three Daos at the same time, the difficulty could be imagined.


    But Ye Yuan attained frenzied advancement in the midst of crazed battles.


    Three years later, the cultivation abruptly stopped.


    It was not that Ye Yuan did not want to cultivate, but that all of the heavenly crystals had already been exhausted.


    Although this kind of cultivation method was fast, maintaining the operation of the cultivation room consumed a lot of heavenly crystals too.


    Cultivating this entire way, Ye Yuan had really never lacked heavenly crystals before.


    Over these several hundred years, the heavenly crystals he accumulated were rather considerable.


    But these heavenly crystals had long been wiped out a year ago.


    During this period of more than one year, Ye Yuan practically squeezed the heavenly crystals of these powerhouses present dry.


    With this, it was completely gone.


    Seeing the light of the cultivation room go out, Saint Exalt Purplesun sighed emotionally and said, ��It��s finally expended entirely! If the heavenly crystals were sufficient, can he cultivate to Saint Exalt Heaven in one go?��


    Skyfortune deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, ��Very likely! Could it be that this guy doesn��t know fatigue? How powerful a willpower is needed to be able to not sleep or rest for three years?��


    ��This guy is asleep! It��s not that he wasn��t tired, but that he was using willpower to overcome it!��


    While talking, Ye Yuan fell to the ground and slept.


    The moment he stopped being tense, he could not hold on anymore as well.


    Skyfortune shook his head and said, ��Really a terrifying opponent! I feel that the Pill Alliance has probably provoked the wrong person!��


    Everyone exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in the others�� eyes.


    This guy was too crazy!


    Cultivating three years without sleeping or resting, it was naturally nothing to a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse.


    But, even if it was a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse, their vigor was limited too.


    Under such a high intensity situation, to cultivate for three years straight, the vast majority of people would go insane.


    Few people would be able to last.


    But Ye Yuan held on!


    During these three years, Ye Yuan��s realm already reached peak middle Jade Sovereign heaven under the opponents�� tempering. He was only missing a little bit before he could enter upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Of course, the greatest improvement was still his power of rules.


    His Great Dao Transformation already reached peak fourth form.


    Right now, even if he did not utilize a grandmist treasure, he was close to invincible within Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm too.


    Unless he ran into heaven��s chosen like the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciples.


    Once he utilized a grandmist treasure, even if he matched up against a Saint Sovereign Heaven, he could fight too!


    Ye Yuan slept for ten days and nights.


    When he woke up, he discovered that everyone had already gathered here.


    Big Yellow was currently guarding him.


    Ye Yuan stared at Big Yellow and said with a smile, ��Not bad. It seems like you improved quite a bit!��


    Big Yellow smiled bashfully and said, ��Compared to Master Ye, it��s still too far off!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Made it to which checkpoint?��


    ��998th place!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Not bad! These heaven��s chosen, their strength is actually not uniform in Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm. But the Saint Sovereign Heaven ranking is the real deal. For you to be able to promote three places, it��s already rather impressive.��


    Big Yellow chuckled, quite pleased with himself.


    These three years, Big Yellow also cultivated like he went crazy.


    In reality, there were many times when he could not persevere anymore.


    But each time he could not persevere, he would come to the number one cultivation room.


    Seeing Ye Yuan be even crazier than him, his drive would kick in.


    During these three years, he only had one thought. It was to keep up with Ye Yuan��s footsteps to the best of his ability.


    Otherwise, he would not have the qualifications to follow Ye Yuan one day.


    And this day would not be too far away.


    The cultivation would automatically record the strength of powerhouses and eliminate the last place.


    Currently, at the number ten cultivation room, at the 998th place, there was already Big Yellow��s projection.

 Chapter 2753 - : Frivolous Life Like a Dream!

    Chapter 2753: Frivolous Life Like a Dream!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan turned around to look at the number one cultivation room and said rather regretfully, ��It��s a shame. There are not enough heavenly crystals. If I could go out after cultivating to grand completion fourth form, I would be much more confident in dealing with the Pill Alliance.��


    When the others heard, they could not help being speechless.


    There was only this person who treated this place as paradise, right?


    If it were others, they would have long been demoralized by these peerless heaven��s chosen powerhouses until they did not even have the desire to cultivate any longer.


    Although Big Yellow was decent, he basically had no hope of charging into the top 100.


    Sometimes, it was not what effort could achieve.


    When your talent reached a bottleneck, it was useless no matter how hard you worked.


    But, talent plus hard work, that was terrifying.


    Ye Yuan was precisely this sort of person.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan led everyone and left the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Over several hundred powerhouses entered. But, at this time, there were only slightly more than a hundred people left.


    However, following Ye Yuan, these hundred people made great harvests.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, there��s nothing else to say. When the time comes, we��ll definitely go all out at your word of command!�� Saint Exalt Purplesun cupped his fists and said.


    These few years, they had ceased the idea of opposing Ye Yuan.


    This guy was even more terrifying than Zhuo Bufan back then!


    Opposing him, the outcome would be very tragic.


    Furthermore, entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace this time, Ye Yuan helped them out a lot. They would definitely be able to improve further after going back this time and entering closed-seclusion.


    With Saint Exalt Purplesun making known his position, the other Saint Sovereign Heavens were extremely grateful to Ye Yuan too.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��When the time comes, I��ll still have to trouble everyone. Everyone, leave first. This Ye still has matters to attend to and won��t be seeing everyone off.��


    Everyone knew that this Heavenspan World was Ye Yuan��s hometown. Hence, they naturally did not stay either, directly leaving.


    After everyone left Heaven Fragmented Continent, Ye Yuan flipped his palm. A crystal clear bottle appeared in his hand.


    This small bottle contained precisely the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation.


    Voidsnap Immortal Condensation was a natural treasure that could strengthen the origin divinity!


    After Jade Sovereign Heaven, the key to break through was the origin divinity!


    Origin divinity communicated with heaven and earth and comprehended Great Dao.


    If the origin divinity was not strong enough, it was extremely hard to break through Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    And this was also precisely one of the reasons why Saint Sovereign Heavens were few in numbers.


    Yan Jadetrue most likely wanted the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation in order to break through to True Sovereign Heaven.


    ��Senior, this Frivolous Life Like a Dream, is it really useful?��


    While talking, Ye Yuan had another small bottle in his hand, containing a mass of transparent liquid inside.


    Frivolous Life Like a Dream; the name sounded very beautiful, but it was a kind of extremely formidable poison.


    This poison did not target the physical body. It only targeted the origin divinity!


    Poisons that could target the origin divinity were very rare. Refining them was extremely difficult too.


    But, once inflicted, it would be like a bone-infesting maggot, being difficult to eradicate.


    Unless one encountered a top-level heavenly alchemist, otherwise, it would be difficult for immortals to cure it!


    Not only did Ye Yuan find the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation in the Treasure Depository Pavilion, but he also found this Frivolous Life Like a Dream!


    ��Kid, it��s also that you��re lucky! If you don��t have this Frivolous Life Like a Dream, you really wouldn��t be able to do anything to that guy and can only be taken advantage of fully by him! Relax. Even if that whatever Pill Alliance��s alliance chief comes, he can��t cure the Frivolous Life Like a Dream poison too! The strength of the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s heavenly alchemists isn��t what you can imagine!�� Mi Tian said confidently.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and dripped a drop of Frivolous Life Like a Dream into the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation.


    The Voidsnap Immortal Condensation was as usual.


    Frivolous Life Like a Dream was colorless and tasteless. Even Ye Yuan was unable to detect its existence too.


    ��That Yan Jadetrue concealed extremely deeply and understands my abilities very well too. He likely won��t believe me so easily!�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��That��s easy! Cultivate the Divine Emergence to the second level, your soul force will directly break through rank five and reach the level of Saint Sovereign Heaven! At that time, purging this Frivolous Life Like a Dream with the Divine Emergence��s secret arts isn��t something difficult. Although the Frivolous Life Like a Dream is formidable, when matching up against the Divine Emergence, it��s a level worse!�� Mi Tian said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, his eyes could not help lighting up.


    With this, he really had no worries anymore.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan had Big Yellow stand guard and he started cultivating the second level of Divine Emergence.


    Divine Emergence��s power naturally went without saying.


    Ye Yuan had long already cultivated the first level to the realm of grand completion. His origin divinity already reached peak Jade Sovereign Heaven long ago.


    It was even stronger than peak Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    As long as he successfully cultivated the second level, the origin divinity reaching the level of Saint Sovereign Heaven was virtually inevitable.


    Ye Yuan sat down cross-legged. In his sea of consciousness, his chaos origin divinity started operating the Divine Emergence��s second level cultivation method.


    A powerful origin divinity undulation quietly released.


    ��This is �� chaos origin divinity! What a powerful origin divinity undulation! It��s likely significantly stronger when compared to even ordinary peak Jade Sovereign Heavens! After he cultivates to grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven will simply happen naturally without additional effort!�� When the Big Yellow by the side saw this, he could not help being speechless.


    When other people were breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, it was a game of death, and they might not be able to break through either.


    But Ye Yuan was amazing. Other people��s bottleneck did not exist for him at all!


    With chaos origin divinity plus this powerful origin divinity undulation, breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven had practically become inevitable.


    There were extremely few cultivation methods to cultivate the origin divinity.


    Even if there were, it would not have a real effect either.


    With the help of heavenly medicines, reaching grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven was not hard.


    The hard part was the origin divinity cultivating to the realm of grand completion at the same time too.


    In reality, the origin divinity realm of more martial artists was far lower than their cultivation realm.


    Therefore, it was virtually impossible for them to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    The true grade Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill that Ye Yuan refined for Big Yellow and the rest previously, it was actually forcefully comprehending Heavenly Dao and letting those people��s origin divinities rise to a higher level. That was how they succeeded in one stroke.


    Of course, this was also because the origin divinity realms of Big Yellow and the rest were up to par. That was why there was this effect.


    If it were others, even if there was the true grade Precious Jade Heavenly Sacred Pill, it might not work too.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation lasted half a year.


    On this day, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity undulation suddenly skyrocketed!


    The sky above Heaven Fragmented Continent, thunder was faintly rolling!


    Big Yellow��s expression suddenly changed, and he looked toward Ye Yuan in amazement.


    ��This �� This �� His origin divinity realm directly broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    This kind of breakthrough was too fantastical.


    When other people were breaking through, it was the cultivation realm that reached first and the origin divinity lagging behind.


    Ye Yuan was good, his cultivation realm was just peak middle Jade Sovereign Heaven, but his origin divinity actually directly reached Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    With such a powerful origin divinity, even if Ye Yuan did not use any martial techniques, one origin divinity attack would directly instantly kill a Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    Freak!


    Too damn freakish!


    How could there be such a freakish person in this world?


    ��Pffft!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan spurted large mouthfuls of blood. His entire person started swaying too.


    Big Yellow��s expression changed, and he said, ��Damn it, his cultivation realm is too low and can��t bear a Saint Sovereign Heaven��s origin divinity!��


    ��Relax, he won��t die! This kid��s potential is huge!�� Big Yellow was just about to go up but was stopped by Mi Tian.


    And at this time, a shocking dragon might rose to the sky from Ye Yuan��s body!


    ��Roar!��


    Ye Yuan emitted a shocking dragon roar from his mouth!


    His aura was also rising frantically!

 Chapter 2754 - Battle Spirit Level Chaos True Spirit!

    Chapter 2754: Battle Spirit Level Chaos True Spirit!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Roar!��


    Above the void, the phantom of an enormous dragon soared into the sky and traversed above the clouds, glimmering and fading indeterminately.


    That giant dragon seemed to have come out of ancient times, its aura boundless.


    When Big Yellow saw it, he actually had an impulse to prostrate in worship!


    One had to know, he was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. No matter how strong Ye Yuan��s bloodline power was, it should not give him this kind of feeling too.


    ��Huhu, this kid finally returned to chaos!�� Mi Tian could not help laughing.


    Big Yellow��s expression changed, and he said in shock, ��Senior, could this be �� chaos true spirit?��


    Mi Tian said, ��That��s right! This boy��s bloodline power is extremely strong, but he was still a hair��s breadth away from chaos true spirit. Now, he finally crossed over!��


    Big Yellow sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Others did not know what chaos true spirit meant, but he knew!


    In their lineage, the Chaos Heavenly Bull was a genuine chaos true spirit!


    But, even if he cultivated to Saint Sovereign Heaven now, there was still a huge gap away from the bloodline power of a chaos true spirit.


    Bloodline power represented potential. It represented the future!


    A mature Chaos Heavenly Bull��s strength could reach the realm of Hegemon!


    And for Big Yellow, without Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill that triggered Great Dao and helped him to improve bloodline power, it was impossible for him to reach Saint Sovereign Heaven in this life too.


    This was disparity!


    Ye Yuan awakened his chaos true spirit bloodline. As long as he cultivated according to routine, becoming a Hegemon in the future was virtually a sure bet!


    When Mi Tian saw how Big Yellow looked, he smiled and said, ��You��re thinking too much! Chaos bloodline has different levels too. What Ye Yuan awakened is merely the lowest level battle spirit level chaos bloodline. Of course, even if it��s the lowest rank battle spirit level chaos bloodline, there��s virtually no bottleneck in him cultivating to True Sovereign Heaven anymore. Furthermore, if he uses the dragon race martial techniques now, the power will be more than ten times stronger than before! Under his full power eruption, it won��t be much weaker than his power of rules.��


    Big Yellow opened his mouth wide and could not help being speechless.


    True Sovereign Heaven!


    Even if he broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he really did not dare to think about this realm before.


    That was too distant.


    What all of the Saint Sovereign Heavens on this Rainclear Continent were thinking was transcending Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation a few more times.


    True Sovereign Heaven?


    That was not possible!


    Boom!


    That illusory giant dragon suddenly rushed down from above the ninth heaven and smashed right into Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm broke through the bottleneck in one stroke, reaching upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    The bloodline power within his body was surging crazily. His aura was still rising crazily.


    Finally, it stopped at peak upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    However, Ye Yuan��s greatest harvest was still his physical strength.


    His physical body already reached the realm of half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, sufficient to accommodate the origin divinity that exceeded his body��s limits.


    Ye Yuan felt that every pore on his body was currently teeming with power.


    ��Big Yellow, come fight!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan erupted and rushed toward Big Yellow.


    Big Yellow could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Master Ye, you aren��t my match no �� mn?��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s action that overestimated his own ability, he was disdainful in his heart.


    But very soon, his expression changed.


    Ye Yuan threw a punch out. The void actually brought out strong undulations. A powerful to the extreme Great Dao undulation erupted from his fist.


    This was the unique aura belonging to Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist!


    But at this time, the power of the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist actually made even Big Yellow feel threatened!


    This punch could kill a Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Big Yellow��s expression changed wildly, and a pair of bull horns suddenly thrust out.


    Surging Bull Fury!


    Boom!


    In a flash, the two had a frontal confrontation!


    Ye Yuan felt a tremendous force transmit over, and his body shot back involuntarily, withdrawing ten thousand feet away.


    ��Hahaha, again!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Ye Yuan did not rest either, rushing in again.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two afterimages fought from the ground to the sky, the speed being inconceivably fast.


    Each of the two people��s punches met with flesh, fighting until the void trembled heavily.


    Big Yellow was immensely shocked in his heart. Was this the power of a chaos true spirit?


    One had to know, although he did not employ the Coquettish Profligate Hoof, after these three years of tempering, his combat power improved by more than a level!


    He was sure that he was absolutely an apex existence among lower Jade Sovereign Heavens.


    But now, he actually could not take Ye Yuan down!


    Furthermore, he discovered that Ye Yuan was using him for practice, familiarizing himself with the control of power.


    Ye Yuan��s fist force, each punch stronger than the last, was indicating that he was currently swiftly familiarizing himself with his own power.


    Boom!


    One punch and one hoof separated upon contact.


    The two people��s movements stopped abruptly.


    ��Is this the power of a chaos true spirit? Each of your punches seemed to be sent out from chaos! Ordinary lower Saint Sovereign Heavens aren��t Master Ye��s match at all!�� Big Yellow said with a sigh.


    This improvement was also too fast!


    Ye Yuan had not truly reached Saint Sovereign Heaven yet, but already possessed the combat power of Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Such powerful strength took people��s breath away in wonder.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Indeed! With the augmentation of bloodline power, the power of the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist is at least dozens of times stronger than before! This kind of power already doesn��t lose to Great Dao Transformation��s power of rules. After I break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, I might not be without the strength to have a battle with Li Changsheng!��


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, the span was huge. Jumping realms to battle also became extremely difficult.


    A Lower Saint Sovereign Heaven being able to jump realms and fight with a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven was already extremely hard to come across.


    Fighting with an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven was virtually something impossible.


    Otherwise, those Saint Sovereign Heavens would not have been so in despair.


    But Ye Yuan felt that when his three Daos reached the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven at the same time, he might not be without the strength to have a fight!


    At that time, it would be the day of the decisive battle!


    ��Alright, everything is prepared, it��s also time to go and meet this ��old friend�� who has been hiding for so many years! I don��t believe that I can��t entrap him to death!�� Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, his killing intent frosty.


    �� ��


    Entrance of the passageway, the moment Ye Yuan showed himself, a shadow blocked his way.


    When Ye Yuan saw the other party, his pupils could not help constricting.


    The arrival was wearing a long red gown, his face very ferocious.


    The most important thing was that this guy��s body was actually an origin divinity body!


    However, the other party was extremely strong, powerful until it was suffocating!


    Even if Ye Yuan��s origin divinity broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he was very weak in front of the other party too.


    The shadow said with a strange laugh, ��Jeje, you seem very surprised when you saw this exalt!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Indeed, a little surprised. No wonder you��ve been hiding behind the scenes all along these few years. It turns out that you��ve long lost your physical body!��


    This shadow was naturally the Heavenspan Mountain��s original master, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s ancestor, Yan Jadetrue!


    Yan Jadetrue said, ��Back then, we seven great Saint Sovereign Heavens discovered the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm. Apart from Zhuo Bufan, we all died under the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s restrictions! This exalt couldn��t escape this calamity too! However, this exalt relied on the Heavenspan Mountain and left behind a wisp of remnant soul in the end! However, being able to recover to my present realm, I really have to thank this world��s fools! Of course, including you too!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold, and he said, ��It turns out that the one truly controlling the Doomsday Battle was you!��

 Chapter 2755 - This Exalt Knows You Too Well!

    Chapter 2755: This Exalt Knows You Too Well!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Of course it��s me! Do you think that a puny little Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum can control all these? He��s merely a self-righteous chess piece, that��s all! After this exalt escaped, I didn��t dare to return to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and can only hide in this small world! After Zhuo Bufan left, this exalt started to set up all these!��


    ��Although Lower Realms ants are useless, their divine soul essence is still pretty good! Hence, this exalt killed three of this small world��s Heavenly Stratum powerhouses and devoured their origin divinities. Then I used the last of my origin divinity power to completely refine this world, sealed the two great passageways with the Heavenspan Mountain, and absorbed the power of a world to restore the Heavenspan Mountain! Then I urged time rule to the extreme and changed the time flow rate of the Heavenspan World. Done with all these, this exalt fell completely into a deep sleep.��


    ��Under the time acceleration, generations after generations of powerhouses provided countless divine soul essence for this exalt! This exalt��s origin divinity also recovered little by little. All the way until the last Divine essence, this exalt finally woke up. Ever since then, this exalt could take the initiative to absorb divine soul essence.��


    ��After this exalt woke up, the Heavenspan Mountain hasn��t been restored to its peak state yet, and this exalt��s state was extremely unstable too and couldn��t return to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. However, after waking up, this exalt discovered something that��s a little interesting. Time was actually in disorder! In this world, there was actually someone who could make time disorderly. This means that someone has understood time law and already touched rule! Hence, this exalt discovered you!��


    ��Huhu, discovering you was really an unexpected pleasant surprise. You actually used the Heart of Heavenspan to comprehend a Heavenly Stratum cultivation method that belongs to you; truly remarkable! Furthermore, as your cultivation method was gradually completed, the Heavenspan Mountain was also continuously recovering, and this exalt��s origin divinity was also constantly growing stronger! When you broke through the plane passageway and ascended to the 33 Heavens, not only did this exalt��s origin divinity recover to its peak state, but it also even went a step further, reaching grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    Yan Jadetrue did not avoid anything, talking tirelessly about the matter of singlehandedly controlling the Heavenspan World.


    As if he had done something insignificant.


    But Ye Yuan was burning with rage as he listened!


    The Heavenspan World��s trillions of lives were merely trifles that could be trampled at will in Yan Jadetrue��s eyes!


    And his road to maturity was actually paving the way for Yan Jadetrue��s recovery!


    He did not know because at that time he was really too weak.


    In the eyes of a powerhouse like Yan Jadetrue, he was an ant; he was a chess piece that could be toyed with at will.


    Sucking in a deep breath, Ye Yuan��s eyes were slightly dark as he said, ��So after I ascended, you felt that I could still be made use of, so you linked up the two world��s passageway and had me bring people in to get the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation?��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled and said, ��Not bad! In my eyes, you��ve always been an inessential chess piece. But I didn��t expect that you could actually take the last step and shatter this world��s shackles! So, I felt that maybe I could continue making use of you a little! Because your potential is really great!��


    Ye Yuan corroborated his Dao as Heavenly Stratum and shattered the firmament with a sword.


    It might be nothing to the rest of the 33 Heavens.


    But Yan Jadetrue knew how difficult it was to be able to take this last step!


    It was not that Ye Yuan would be able to take this step after creating a Heavenly Stratum cultivation method himself.


    This small world was already a dilapidated world. The power of rules was all chaotic and completely disjointed from the 33 Heavens�� Heavenly Dao!


    To everyone in the Heavenspan World, Yan Jadetrue��s actions were tantamount to severing everyone��s path to Heavenly Stratum.


    But Ye Yuan still did it!


    This could not be called amazing anymore!


    Ordinary small worlds�� ascenders, no matter how amazing they were, they would also have to be grandsons when they reach the 33 Heavens!


    Of course, there were exceptions like Zhuo Bufan.


    But Yan Jadetrue knew that even if Ye Yuan reached the 33 Heavens, he would belong to the group of those unrivaled talented powerhouses.


    The things that Zhuo Bufan could not do, he might not be unable to do them!


    Back then, Zhuo Bufan entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace together with them. He actually did not get any benefits. But he did not die and escaped with serious injuries.


    But Yan Jadetrue felt that perhaps Ye Yuan could do it. That was why there was this scene today.


    ��So, you brought the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation? If you don��t have it, then there��s no meaning for the people related to you to exist anymore,�� Yan Jadetrue said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Ye Yuan had a dark look and directly threw the small bottle containing the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation to the other party.


    ��I��ve brought you the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation. Can you let the people go now?�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Yan Jadetrue caught the small bottle, a hint of wild ecstasy flashing across in his eyes.


    It was really the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation!


    Back then, he almost lost his life under rank six restrictions for the sake of this Voidsnap Immortal Condensation!


    Now, he finally obtained it!


    This brat actually really accomplished it!


    ��Jeje, this exalt indeed didn��t misjudge! Something that even Zhuo Bufan couldn��t do, you accomplished it! Actually, when I saw that those guys didn��t die, I knew that you most likely succeeded!��


    Yan Jadetrue naturally knew about the rest leaving the Heavenspan World.


    Those Jade Sovereign Heavens going in, they could only be cannon fodders.


    But what surprised him was that there were actually many Jade Sovereign Heavens who did not die!


    Yan Jadetrue opened the small bottle but threw it to Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��You absorb some first!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Aren��t you a little too cautious? What the hell can I, a measly little Jade Sovereign Heaven, do?��


    Yan Jadetrue chuckled and said, ��Don��t you forget, this exalt watched you grow up! This exalt understands you too well! There were many powerhouses that succumbed in your hands! Enough crap, hurry up and absorb!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart sank slightly. This guy was indeed extremely careful.


    Fortunately, he was long prepared.


    Ye Yuan��s expression flickered indeterminately. After hesitating for a moment, he still probed his origin divinity power into the small bottle.


    However, his current origin divinity undulation was merely at the level of Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    It was very hard for others to do it, but Ye Yuan cultivated Divine Emergence, converging his aura was easily accomplished.


    When Yan Jadetrue saw the situation, he could not help clicking his tongue and praising, ��Chaos origin divinity! In this dilapidated small chiliocosm, you could actually attain a chaos origin divinity, truly not easy!��


    In the wake of Ye Yuan absorbing the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation, a power that gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind poured into his origin divinity.


    He felt as if his origin divinity was like a long drought getting a good rainfall and started growing stronger under the nourishment of the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation.


    However, Ye Yuan also detected that there was some discordant thing mixed in it.


    This thing was extremely hidden. If not for him cultivating Divine Emergence to the second level, there would be no way of detecting at all.


    It was naturally impossible for the Frivolous Life Like a Dream��s toxicity to manifest immediately.


    By the time Yan Jadetrue discovered it, everything would already be too late.


    Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to purge the Frivolous Life Like a Dream either. This poison was extremely formidable. It was not so easy to deal with.


    Taking action now would only heighten the other party��s vigilance.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s origin divinity strengthening continuously, Yan Jadetrue��s eyes became even more wildly ecstatic.


    True Sovereign Heaven!


    He finally had hope of reaching this realm!

 Chapter 2756 - Then You Have to Hurry Up and Break Through!

    Chapter 2756: Then You Have to Hurry Up and Break Through!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Yan Jadetrue��s soul force was extremely powerful and extremely keen.


    He had been paying attention to Ye Yuan��s every action and movement of absorbing the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation.


    There was not the slightest anomaly!


    ��Enough!��


    Yan Jadetrue was overjoyed and snatched the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation over.


    This thing was too precious. Using it to probe was okay, but too much would be a waste.


    This thing was the key that concerned whether or not he could break through to True Sovereign Heaven!


    If it was used up by Ye Yuan, how would he still break through to True Sovereign Heaven?


    Ye Yuan looked at Yan Jadetrue and said with a frown, ��Now, you can let Li-er they all go, right?��


    But Yan Jadetrue said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Ye Yuan, you��re too dangerous! This exalt doesn��t want to be like your opponents, becoming the stepping stone on your road to maturity in the end! If I let them go, what will this exalt use to constrain you? Of course, if you have the ability, you can shuttle back and forth across countless planes and find your loved ones and friends.��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, ��What the hell do you want?��


    He knew that Yan Jadetrue was very troublesome. It was naturally impossible to let matters go so easily.


    Letting people go at this time was simply impossible.


    However, Ye Yuan was not in a hurry either. As long as Yan Jadetrue used the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation to cultivate, he would succumb eventually.


    He did not appear overly enraged either because he knew that Yan Jadetrue knew him very well.


    Behaving like he was burning with fury at this time would reveal a flaw instead and arouse the other party��s suspicions.


    In reality, starting from when Ye Yuan showed himself, the two people had already been fighting a battle of wits and a contest of strength.


    Ye Yuan understood that his every action and movement was being observed by the other party.


    Even if he revealed a little flaw, the other party would have suspicions aroused.


    It was Ye Yuan��s first time seeing Yan Jadetrue��s true body. It could be said that he did not understand the other party at all.


    But he could toy with a world in the palm of his hand and could escape from the Labyrinth Divine Palace, that kind of forbidden land, with his life. It was absolutely not what the average person could accomplish.


    Battling with this guy, Ye Yuan perked his spirits up 120%!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was extremely careful about every expression and sentence.


    Yan Jadetrue seemed very satisfied with Ye Yuan��s reaction and said with a faint smile, ��Nothing. This exalt is planning on killing you after breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven! After killing you, I��ll kill everyone related to you! Honestly speaking, this exalt really doesn��t have absolute confidence in making a move against you right now. But, letting you grow unchecked, this exalt will feel even more worried.��


    This appraisal could be rated as high.


    He, a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven, even though he was just of an origin divinity body, he did not have confidence in killing an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Of course, this also showed that he knew Ye Yuan very well.


    Because if he made a move, he really might not be able to keep Ye Yuan behind.


    Moreover, there was even a powerful Big Yellow by his side.


    Yan Jadetrue was of an origin divinity body. His combat power would definitely be greatly reduced.


    He was not of the soul race, incomparably proficient in all kinds of origin divinity secret arts.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, ��In other words, you won��t rest until one of us is dead?��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, why don��t �� we play a game?��


    ��How to play?�� Ye Yuan currently had no other way and could only play with the other party.


    ��I��ll return to the 33 Heavens right now and enter closed-seclusion to break through to True Sovereign Heaven! I left behind an origin divinity imprint in their bodies and can kill them with just a thought. You can traverse all the heavens�� planes now and go look for your loved ones and friends, and can also enter closed-seclusion to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��If you break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven or find them before I break through to True Sovereign Heaven, I��ll flee far away from home and avoid you after breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven! But, if this exalt breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven first, then �� sorry about it! I��ll kill all of them right away and then come kill you! How is it? Isn��t this game very interesting?��


    Yan Jadetrue looked at Ye Yuan as if certain that he would play with him.


    Yes, he knew Ye Yuan very well!


    Precisely because he understood him that this so-called game of his was actually revealing his apprehension toward Ye Yuan.


    Only by breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven did he have sufficient confidence to kill Ye Yuan!


    In fact, even if Ye Yuan broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he would also choose to leave right away.


    Even if he really broke through to True Sovereign Heaven at that time!


    He would rather face the uncertain at sea than face Ye Yuan.


    He made use of Ye Yuan, but he also dreaded Ye Yuan.


    Precisely because he knew Ye Yuan too well, that was why he dreaded Ye Yuan!


    The present Ye Yuan was no longer that little bug that he could pinch to death at will.


    This guy was only a major cultivation realm lower than him.


    In reality, he himself also understood that making Ye Yuan go get the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation was playing with fire in itself.


    A single mishap and it was setting fire to himself.


    But the temptation of True Sovereign Heaven was too great!


    Not getting the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation, not breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven, he would always be a walking corpse.


    He who only had an origin divinity body was a dog who lost its home!


    Therefore, he chose to gamble.


    But kidnapping Ye Yuan��s kin would mean fighting it out with Ye Yuan to death.


    He could not kill these people. If he killed these people, he did not dare to imagine what kind of degree the rampaging Ye Yuan would reach.


    In fact, even if he broke through to True Sovereign Heaven, he was also not willing to have a frontal clash with the Ye Yuan who broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    So, he was gambling too!


    If Ye Yuan broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he would not make a move against Ye Yuan��s kin. He would also have sufficient time to escape the Rainclear Continent.


    That was as long as he reached True Sovereign Heaven.


    Of course, if he broke through first, he would have sufficient confidence to finish Ye Yuan off.


    At that time, he would have nothing to fear.


    Both parties were sensible people. Ye Yuan instantly understood the other party��s plans and said in a solemn voice, ��Okay, I��ll play this game with you!��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan did not act contrary to his expectations.


    Everything was under control!


    Ye Yuan passed Big Yellow a storage bracelet, and he said, ��Big Yellow, you bring the things in here and return to the Myriad Demons Mountain first! Distribute the heavenly pills in it to the half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens of Myriad Demons Mountain and the Land of Heavenly South!��


    Big Yellow hesitated briefly before taking it.


    ��Take care, Master Ye!�� Finished saying, Big Yellow leaped and left the Heavenspan World.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yan Jadetrue and said coolly, ��If you want to play this game with me, you��ll have to hurry up and break through!��


    Yan Jadetrue was just about to retort when he heard that but saw Ye Yuan suddenly turned into a true dragon. He took a stride, stepping out, escaping directly into the void and tearing through the boundary.


    Seeing this scene, Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed wildly.


    Feeling the remnant aura, Yan Jadetrue��s expression was solemn as he said, ��There��s no mistake. This is the aura of a chaos true spirit! This kid actually advanced to a chaos true spirit with a mortal body! I even thought that he��d choose to break through first. I didn��t expect that �� he actually chose to find people first! What this kid said was right. I should hurry up and break through!��


    Suddenly, his expression changed, and he could not help laughing as he said, ��What am I scared of? Even if he can traverse the void, it will delay cultivation time too! Even if he can really find his loved ones, after this exalt breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven, could it be that he can still run?��


    That might be the case, but Yan Jadetrue��s origin divinity instantly turned into an afterimage and vanished from the Heavenspan World!

 Chapter 2757 - : Race Against Time!

    Chapter 2757: Race Against Time!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Amidst the boundless spatial turbulent flow, an azure light was shuttling indeterminately, the speed swift to the extreme.


    The body of a true dragon was sufficient to pass through the chaos boundary wall. Traversing amidst this boundless spatial turbulent flow was naturally nothing.


    Yan Jadetrue thought that Ye Yuan would choose to cultivate. That was because he felt that Ye Yuan did not have the ability to tear through the boundary.


    Even if his strength reached Jade Sovereign Heaven, wanting to travel across these countless planes would require paying a huge price too, which was a thankless job.


    But he clearly did not expect that Ye Yuan actually had the ability to traverse the void.


    When he just broke through to Heavenly Stratum, Ye Yuan naturally did not have this ability.


    But now, it was as easy as flipping over a hand to him.


    The Lower Realms�� boundary wall was not compared to the 33 Heavens�� chaos.


    Pffft!


    In merely half a day��s time, Ye Yuan��s true dragon body passed through a boundary wall and arrived at a small chiliocosm.


    Without the slightest hesitation, his divine sense covered the entire world brazenly without any scruple.


    At this moment, the entire world was trembling heavily.


    This divine sense was too powerful.


    Very soon, several figures appeared before Ye Yuan.


    An upper Lesser Sublime Heaven plucked up his courage and asked Ye Yuan with a slight tremor, ��W-What��s Your Excellency looking for? I wonder if there��s anything we can help with?��


    While talking, Ye Yuan��s divine sense already swept several times wantonly.


    Even those subsidiary small worlds were also thoroughly searched by Ye Yuan.


    But he did not discover any familiar people.


    Rumble ��


    Above the void, a terrifying heavenly tribulation was currently descending.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes glared, and the heavenly tribulation instantly dissipated!


    The small chiliocosm��s martial artists were all dumbstruck with amazement.


    Too strong!


    One look actually forced heavenly tribulation back!


    ��Don��t have ���� Ye Yuan muttered and turned into a true dragon again, tearing through the boundary.


    When the few Heavenly Stratum powerhouses saw Ye Yuan leave, they all let out a long sigh in relief.


    But very soon, that upper Lower Realms Heavenly Stratum��s face had a trace of melancholy, and he said, ��This is a true powerhouse! I feel like he could crush us with a single thought! We, these people, assume hegemony in the Lower Realms and really became frogs at the bottom of a well! I��ve decided to ascend to the Heavenly Realm after half a year!��


    The expressions of the other Heavenly Stratum powerhouses changed abruptly when they heard that.


    But very soon, they felt at ease too.


    The Heavenspan World was merely a dilapidated small chiliocosm. It had already been refined by Yan Jadetrue and fused as one with the Heavenspan Mountain.


    Hence, there was no such thing as ascension too.


    In reality, for ordinary small chiliocosms, after reaching Heavenly Stratum, one would be able to ascend.


    However, they would have to suffer a terrifying heavenly tribulation!


    Therefore, many powerhouses would rather cover up their auras and not ascend to the 33 Heavens.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance made them realize that this kind of days was merely deceiving themselves as well as others.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not care about what these people thought. He only came to find his people.


    In a day, Ye Yuan flew to hundreds of small chiliocosms and great trichiliocosms.


    But the result was disappointing!


    He did not even find a single acquaintance!


    ��Kid, in the 33 Heavens, each heaven rules hundreds of millions of planes. You��re like a headless fly. Until when will you have to search for them?�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Yan Jadetrue is a heaven��s chosen of his generation too! For him to be able to reach this step, what he relied on isn��t just the Heavenspan Mountain! I can feel that his origin divinity body has already been perfected and is likely only half a step away from True Sovereign Heaven. With his talent, the breakthrough will likely be in these few years! Once he breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven, even though Frivolous Life Like a Dream is formidable, it might not be able to kill him. Furthermore, don��t you forget, he �� is a powerhouse who has truly grasped time rule! I don��t want to leave my fate in the hands of someone else!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Only when they saw Yan Jadetrue did Ye Yuan and Mi Tian know that they had underestimated him.


    Originally, they thought that Yan Jadetrue was at most just an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Who knew that he lost his physical body, but his origin divinity body improved further and was only half a step away from True Sovereign Heaven!


    Furthermore, in these hundreds of millions of years, he specialized in cultivating the origin divinity and already condensed the origin divinity incomparably.


    Maybe he did not have powerful combat strength, but his strength could not be underestimated.


    Frivolous Life Like a Dream was naturally useful, but how useful it was, it was really hard to say.


    Furthermore, once Yan Jadetrue broke through to True Sovereign Heaven very quickly, the effect of Frivolous Life Like a Dream would be greatly discounted.


    Ye Yuan also did not want to pin his hopes on his opponent��s mistakes.


    Therefore, he had to race against time with Yan Jadetrue!


    ��But there are myriads of planes. How will you find them?�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Yan Jadetrue doesn��t have the body of a true dragon. Although origin divinity body can also travel through the void, it��s much worse compared to the body of a true dragon! With his ability, how far can he hide those people? If I search outward in a spiral manner with the Heavenspan World as the center, I can always find them!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Mi Tian was taken aback when he heard and could not help laughing as he said, ��Fine lad, I underestimated you! You��re racing against time now!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, but his movements did not stop in the least bit.


    Several days later, Ye Yuan arrived at a small chiliocosm again.


    Sweeping his divine sense, Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, and his mind shook!


    He actually found an acquaintance here!


    Sacred Ancestor High Priest, Wing!


    At this time, Wing was currently being besieged by several top powerhouses.


    However, Ye Yuan��s reckless scanning already brought the battle to an abrupt end.


    Too horrifying!


    Ye Yuan frowned, and those people around Wing immediately turned into clouds of blood mist.


    He took a step out and arrived in front of Wing.


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    When Wing saw Ye Yuan, tears could not help running down his face.


    His aura was completely different from this small chiliocosm��s powerhouses.


    He spent each day in the midst of pursuit.


    He really had to thank heaven and earth for being able to live until now.


    He still wanted to say more, but Ye Yuan made a gesture. A powerful origin divinity power instantly invaded Wing��s sea of consciousness.


    Wing��s entire body trembled violently. Facing Ye Yuan��s crude method, he had no ability to resist at all and could only be at his whims.


    Ye Yuan revolved the Divine Emergence��s secret art and wiped away Yan Jadetrue��s mark overbearingly. Only then did he withdraw his origin divinity power.


    Wing was struck dumb with amazement. Just how strong was the current Ye Yuan?


    Even if it was that legendary Heavenly Stratum, it was impossible to achieve this too, right?


    He was simply like a puppet in front of him, unable to control himself at all.


    At this time, life and death were not up to him either!


    That sort of feeling was like when he was abducted to this world back then.


    That feeling of having no command over himself really drove people crazy.


    Wing still wanted to say something, but Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Talk on the way. I��m in a hurry!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan��s divine essence stirred, and he put Wing into his chaos world.


    Ye Yuan did not remain in the slightest and traverse the void again.


    He did not waste time. Wasting a second here might kill someone closest to him.


    And at the same time, Yan Jadetrue suddenly snapped open both eyes, his pupils constricting slightly as he muttered to himself, ��It��s just been three days. He already found the first person? When I sent the first person out, it took half a month��s time! This kid is so fast! It looks like I can��t delay anymore!��

 Chapter 2758 - Windfall!

    Chapter 2758: Windfall!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Withered Glory Great World, one of the three great forbidden lands, the Ancient Devil Forbidden Land.


    A white tiger was dyed in blood all over, currently standing facing a Heavenly Stratum ancient devil, panting heavily.


    The ancient devil looked at the white tiger and said coolly, ��I didn��t expect that you, this little tiger, would actually be able to erupt with the attack of a Heavenly Stratum! But unfortunately, you��re still too weak!��


    This white tiger was none other than precisely Ye Yuan��s good brother, White Light.


    White Light looked at the ancient devil stubbornly and said, ��Is that so? Then �� What about now?��


    Boom!


    Suddenly, a shocking power erupted from White Light��s body.


    Bloodline power gushed out, shaking the entire forbidden land until it trembled endlessly.


    The ancient devil��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��This kid��s �� bloodline actually evolved again! Counting this time, he has already evolved three times in a row in this battle! How troublesome �� It looks like I have to send you on your way!��


    White Light��s overwhelming aura surged straight towards the sky.


    Clearly, White Light��s rise made the ancient devil very fearful too.


    However, the ancient devil clearly would not give him this chance.


    It was only to see him raise his palm; an enormous devil image condensed and formed behind him.


    The devil image did not hesitate in the slightest, directly slamming a punch over.


    This devil image��s punch carried a terrifying power of rule, powerful until it was suffocating.


    White Light gritted his teeth, and he said hatefully, ��A little more! I��m still missing one last bit! If I can get through this, then I��ll be able to corroborate my Dao as Heavenly Stratum! I must catch up to Big Brother��s footsteps!��


    ��Roar!��


    At the critical moment, White Light��s body burst forth with a dazzling light.


    At this moment, he squeezed out all of his potential and suddenly threw a punch out.


    Bang!


    White Light��s figure flew out backward, fresh blood spraying out of his mouth wildly everywhere like a kite with a broken string.


    But at the same time, that devil image was actually directly scattered by this one punch!


    The ancient devil��s expression changed wildly. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned into an afterimage and rushed toward White Light.


    The current White Light was only a hair��s breadth away from Heavenly Stratum!


    That punch earlier even struck with a power exceeding Heavenly Stratum.


    If he did not kill White Light, the consequences were too ghastly to contemplate!


    That punch just now, White Light already used all of his strength.


    Seeing the ancient devil rush over, a hint of sorrow flashed across in White Light��s eyes.


    Sure enough, was he still going to die here?


    But right at this time, amidst his blurry vision, a white figure suddenly blocked in front of him.


    He only heard the ancient devil scream miserably and directly turned into nothingness.


    Following that, an extremely condensed divine essence entered his body.


    White Light��s injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    ��Calm the spirit and focus your mind; comprehend Heavenly Dao! Heavenly Dao is heartless, but people are sentient! I go against Heaven with my blood and trample Kunlun to be equal to Heaven!��


    White Light��s entire body trembled, and he was wildly ecstatic.


    But, hearing this sonorous and powerful voice, his heart turned somber, and he immediately calmed his spirit and focused his mind, assaulting Heavenly Stratum!


    With this guidance, it made him have a feeling of dispelling the clouds!


    Boom!


    After cultivating bitterly for tens of thousands of years, White Light finally broke through Heavenly Stratum��s fetters and achieved Heavenly Stratum!


    Under Ye Yuan��s help, White Light consolidated his realm very quickly.


    ��Big Brother!�� White Light hugged Ye Yuan and was overjoyed.


    ��Huhu, good brother, to actually rely on your own power and breakthrough to Heavenly Stratum! Incredible!�� Ye Yuan was also relieved as he said those words.


    After five years, Ye Yuan traversed hundreds of millions of planes and finally found White Light in Withered Glory Great World.


    During these five years, Ye Yuan did not stop for a moment and finally found Lu-er, Profound Secrets, and the rest, one by one.


    At this very moment, apart from Yue Mengli who was not found yet, Ye Yuan already found the rest.


    However, Ye Yuan also knew that Yan Jadetrue was likely about to break through!


    He did not have much time anymore!


    ��Heh, how can I embarrass Big Brother? When I woke up, I discovered that the world had changed. At that time, I was at a loss for a while. However, I could clearly feel Heavenly Dao rules in Withered Glory Great World. The bloodline power in my body actually erupted again. I was thinking that since I came, I might as well stay and make the best of it. I��ll break through to Heavenly Stratum here and ascend to the Heavenly Realm and go find Big Brother! It��s just that I didn��t expect that Big Brother you actually came!�� White Light said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��This matter is hard to sum up in a short time. Let��s talk again later! Right now, the crisis isn��t resolved yet!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan purged the mark in White Light��s body and was about to leave.


    But right at this time, he suddenly sensed something, and his footsteps could not help pausing.


    ��Mn? This is ����


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved, bringing Ye Yuan to the deepest part of the Ancient Devil Forbidden Land.


    The dangers here did not count as dangerous to him at all.


    An enormous array formation was set up in this Ancient Devil Forbidden Land.


    This deepest part was where the center of the array formation lay.


    Ahead, in the heart of the array formation, a five-colored stone was suspended in the center of the array formation, emitting waves of powerful force.


    ��There��s no mistake, Myriad Realms Mountain! There was a five-colored heavenly stone among the seven chaos treasures that the Lord of Chaos refined back then! However, this five-colored heavenly stone in front is even more pitiful than that one in your hands! At this time, it��s probably only at the level of a Mortal Stratum treasure!�� Mi Tian suddenly said.


    Earlier, Ye Yuan was just about to leave when he discovered that the Heavenspan Mountain in his body actually vibrated inexplicably.


    Ye Yuan felt in his heart as if he had encountered a friend.


    Coming here to take a look, it was indeed the case!


    ��No matter what, I found the second Myriad Realms Mountain!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan directly reached his hand out and grabbed the five-colored heavenly stone.


    This array formation was fragile like paper paste in front of him.


    When White Light saw this scene, he could not help feeling shocked.


    In his view, Heavenly Stratum was already extremely strong.


    But looking at it now, Heavenly Stratum was simply an ant-like existence in front of Big Brother!


    He narrowly escaped death in order to enter the Ancient Devil Forbidden Land.


    Moreover, this place was the Ancient Devil Forbidden Land��s hinterland, the most dangerous place.


    But, Ye Yuan actually seemed to have entered his own backyard.


    ��Big Brother, this stone ���� White Light said with uncertainty.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You can understand it as that this is another Heavenspan Mountain!��


    When White Light heard that, his pupils could not help constricting.


    He knew how powerful the Heavenspan Mountain was!


    He did not expect that this stone was actually comparable to the Heavenspan Mountain!


    ��Kid, smelt the five-colored heavenly stone into one with the Heavenspan Mountain, and it will be able to promote the Myriad Realms Mountain to a grade two grandmist treasure! With its help, it will be a cinch for you to jump realms and battle!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, but he immediately smiled bitterly and said, ��Senior, where will I go to find grandmist energy now?��


    ��Idiot! Didn��t you bring many grandmist treasures out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace? With grandmist treasures, there��s naturally grandmist energy! You extract those grandmist energy, and then fuse it into the five-colored heavenly stone. It will be enough to let it recover to the extent of a grade one grandmist treasure. About the remaining grandmist energy, you should use it to smelt the two Myriad Realms Mountains!�� Mi Tian said.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he smacked his head and said, ��It turns out that it can still be done like this!��


    Ye Yuan obtained a total of 34 grandmist treasures from the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    After giving those Saint Exalts as well as Big Yellow, he spent a total of 13. There were still 21 left in his possession.


    With so many grandmist treasures, it was sufficient to be used to fuse the five-colored heavenly stone!

    Chapter 2759: Darkness Under a Lamp!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Amidst the spatial turbulent flows, Ye Yuan held the Heavenspan Mountain in his left hand, and his right hand held the five-colored heavenly stone.


    A pale yellow ball of light wrapped the two small mountains up respectively.


    Ye Yuan shut both eyes, carefully feeling the undulations of the two treasures.


    With the Wordless Heavenly Skill as a guide, after he guided the two small mountains to the same frequency, they would be able to fuse.


    Suddenly, his two hands gradually drew close. The two small mountains actually started merging!


    Rumble ��


    A powerful undulation caused the void to tremble violently.


    The two small mountains fused into one. A terrifying power spread out, making the few planes in the distance all start to tremble violently.


    This was also why Ye Yuan fused them in the spatial turbulent flow. If it was in Withered Glory Great World, the undulation could completely destroy this great trichiliocosm immediately.


    Grade two grandmist treasure corresponded to the power of a True Sovereign Heaven.


    And once the Myriad Realms Mountain was refined, it was a top existence among grade two grandmist treasures.


    Its power was naturally extraordinary.


    ��Done!��


    Looking at the two small mountains fusing into one, Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    He could feel that powerful strength coming from the Myriad Realms Mountain!


    Ye Yuan was certain that as long as he urged the Myriad Realms Mountain now, he could directly crush lower Jade Sovereign Heavens to death!


    This Myriad Realms Mountain was even stronger than the Emerald Sea Divine Conch!


    Concerning the current Myriad Realms Mountain, the top of the mountain was composed of five kinds of colors, while the base was completely black.


    Ye Yuan got up, his gaze looking at the end of the void, and said with a frown, ��Where the hell did he hide Li-er? It��s been two years. Those that should have been found, I found them all. There��s only Li-er left! Frivolous Life Like a Dream should have already flared up. However �� it probably can��t stop him from breaking through, right?��


    Another two years had passed since finding White Light.


    In these two years, Ye Yuan had found god knows how many planes by searching based on clues.


    However, he could not find Li-er��s traces from start to end.


    Looking at the time slowly trickling by, Ye Yuan��s heart was burning with anxiety.


    It was already too late to break through now. He could only refine the Myriad Realms Mountain first to have the strength to protect himself.


    ��Could it be that �� I��ve missed some places?�� Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed even harder.


    During these seven years, Ye Yuan seemed to have no end, searching for his kin and friends frantically.


    But, after two years of nothing, it forced him to stop and think carefully.


    Suddenly, a thought flashed across in Ye Yuan��s mind, making his entire body tremble.


    ��Heavenspan �� World!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan��s body instantly disappeared from where he was, urging his speed to the extreme, heading for the Heavenspan World.


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s present realm, his divine sense could instantly cover a world.


    This world was not just small chiliocosms. There were also the various subsidiary small worlds of small chiliocosms.


    As long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could infiltrate his divine sense into all of the subsidiary small worlds.


    For the past seven years, he had indeed done so.


    But there was only one place that he did not search; that was the Heavenspan World!


    Ye Yuan followed the main force into the Heavenspan World and started searching right away, but he did not search the small worlds that were subsidiary to the Heavenspan World.


    Yan Jadetrue��s appearance interrupted his search.


    Later on, Ye Yuan immediately ran into Yan Jadetrue after he came out of Heaven Fragmented Continent.


    When the two people��s wager began, Ye Yuan instinctively went straight to traverse the planes, but he forgot that it was dark under the lamp.


    Thinking about it now, the timing that Yan Jadetrue appeared back then was just right. It was simply to interrupt his search.


    Ye Yuan searched myriad worlds, but he only missed his own hometown!


    This guy was so deeply scheming!


    ��Damn it! Li-er must be in the Immortal Grove World. Why didn��t I think of it earlier! I wonder whether I can make it in time or not!��


    The current Ye Yuan was erupting across the board, urging his speed to the extreme.


    He was too far away from the Heavenspan World. With his current speed, it would also take half a year to rush back at full speed!


    �� ��


    And at the same time, in a secret place in Inklight Forest, Yan Jadetrue��s breakthrough also reached the most critical time!


    However, Frivolous Life Like a Dream��s sudden eruption made Yan Jadetrue simmer with hatred.


    After he finished absorbing the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation, he entered a state of emptiness without any surprises. He grasped the opportunity to break through to True Sovereign Heaven.


    But right at this time, Frivolous Life Akin to a Dream suddenly erupted, going into ecstasy!


    Such a toxic poison erupting at the juncture of breakthrough, the degree of danger could be imagined.


    He almost perished, his Dao dissipating!


    ��Damn it! I still fell for that brat��s trick in the end! However, do you think that you can ruin this exalt like this? Too naive! At most another three months, after this exalt breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven, I��ll kill your beloved! At that time, this exalt wants to see how you��re overwhelmed to the extent where you wished that you were dead!


    Yan Jadetrue was currently anguished to the extreme. The breakthrough of True Sovereign Heaven was extremely dangerous. Coupled with the Frivolous Life Like a Dream poison, Yan Jadetrue did not dare to be distracted by other things right now.


    Otherwise, he would have long urged his origin divinity and killed Yue Mengli.


    At this very moment, he could only endure the bone-festering pain of the origin divinity and forcefully break through to True Sovereign Heaven!


    Yan Jadetrue was someone of incredible willpower too. If someone else was poisoned and it erupted at the critical moment of breakthrough, they would have long kicked the bucket.


    But he forcefully pulled through.


    At this time, Yan Jadetrue already reached the final juncture of breakthrough and was only one step away.


    At this time, there mustn��t be any mishaps.


    �� ��


    In the spatial turbulent flow, Ye Yuan stuffed heavenly pills into his mouth like it was free.


    His heart was burning with anxiety, only thinking of returning to the Heavenspan World as quickly as possible.


    But his speed was already urged to the extreme and could not go any faster!


    ��No way. It��s still too slow!��


    Ye Yuan did not know when Yan Jadetrue would break through, but the later he went, the higher the chances Li-er would be in danger.


    Therefore, he had to be faster!


    Boom!


    In the next moment, the divine essence within Ye Yuan��s body started burning crazily.


    His speed also accelerated by a lot in an instant!


    ��Not enough! Still not enough!��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan started burning his bloodline power, and at the same time, his speed soared again!


    ��Boy, are you crazy? Pushing on like this, by the time you reach the Heavenspan World, you��ll be totally crippled!�� Mi Tian shouted frantically in Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness.


    Burning divine essence and bloodline power at the same time was extremely harmful to the body.


    If it was a short period, it was still fine. But Ye Yuan had to travel for half a year. This kind of loss was virtually irreversible.


    A single mishap and it would ruin the martial arts foundation, cutting off the path forward.


    Ye Yuan ignored Mi Tian and threw the heavenly pills that he refined previously into his mouth frenziedly.


    However, under this crazy move, his speed was virtually several times faster than normal!


    Time slowly passed. The heavenly pills on Ye Yuan were depleted very quickly.


    However, he did not stop, throwing the natural treasures that he found in the Labyrinth Divine Palace into his mouth as if they were unlimited in number.


    Just like that, he kept maintaining the limit speed and rushed in the direction of the Heavenspan World.


    Finally, he saw the Heavenspan World��s boundary wall.


    At the same time, the sky above Inklight Forest, the phenomenon of a moon that had been going berserk for a month finally subsided.


    ��ARGHHHH! Damn Ye Yuan, you caused this exalt to be unable to break through to True Sovereign Heaven. This exalt wants you to grieve to the extent that you wished to die! You definitely didn��t think that this exalt hid your beloved right under your eyelids, right? Hahaha �� Go and die for me!��


    Yan Jadetrue fell completely into a berserk rage and activated the origin divinity mark immediately, wanting to kill Yue Mengli.


    ��Mn? This �� How is this possible? It was clearly still there just now!�� Yan Jadetrue��s pupils constricted, disbelief written all over his face.

 Chapter 2760 - Arrow of God Extermination!

    Chapter 2760: Arrow of God Extermination!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Endless World in the depths of the Endless Forest.


    Yue Mengli hugged the weak Ye Yuan with a look of tender care.


    ��Big Brother Yuan, are �� are you alright?��


    ��Fool, can he be okay? He didn��t even want his life anymore in order to save you!�� Mi Tian said in a great rage.


    Yue Mengli was taken aback and said in surprise, ��You �� Who are you?��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity came out of his body and said to Yue Mengli, ��He��s a senior who��s temporarily staying in my body. Li-er, I still have even more important things to do right now. Senior will tell you everything.��


    Yue Mengli��s expression turned intent, and she nodded slightly and said, ��Mn, go on, Big Brother Yuan.��


    Mi Tian was even more furious when he saw the situation and scolded, ��You stinking brat, really angering Your Father to death! I��ve never seen before someone who messes around like you! Already crippled yourself and you actually still want to use origin divinity to go fight! You��ll die!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s also because there��s no choice. If I don��t go and fight, he��ll definitely destroy the Heavenspan World. Senior, this place will be entrusted to you. I��ll be right back!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s chaos origin divinity immediately disappeared from the Endless World.


    Mi Tian was stomping his feet in anger, his mouth spewing profanities without stopping for a moment.


    Standing from his perspective, there was no way of understanding Ye Yuan��s actions at all.


    This girl in front of him was merely a Lower Realms ant.


    This guy directly crippled himself from running in order to save her.


    To a powerhouse who was about to step into Saint Sovereign Heaven, what kind of woman could he not get?


    This boy was really incomprehensible!


    Now, he was going in an origin divinity state to find the Yan Jadetrue who might have already broken through to True Sovereign Heaven to risk his life for a world��s ants.


    After scolding for a while, Mi Tian also felt helpless and said to Yue Mengli angrily, ��Damn lass, bring his physical body and go to the Heavenspan World!��


    Yue Mengli said uncertainly, ��Senior, what are we going to do?��


    Mi Tian said with a cold snort, ��What else can we do? To save him! Your Father is still counting him on to send me back home. Will I still harm him? With how he is, after his origin divinity returns, I reckon that he won��t be far from death either! Luckily, the Heavenspan World is connected to the Heaven Fragmented Continent. Otherwise, this brat is dead for sure!��


    The moment Yue Mengli heard, she could not help being overjoyed and immediately carried Ye Yuan��s physical body and flew away.


    �� ��


    With Ye Yuan��s origin divinity leaving his body, he returned to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven very quickly!


    He had just walked out of the plane passageway when he felt an extremely powerful origin divinity power rushing towards this side.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed. Only then did he know that Yan Jadetrue had just broken through not long ago.


    Secretly thinking to himself what a close shave it was, Ye Yuan��s figure moved, and he greeted Yan Jadetrue.


    Yan Jadetrue had clearly discovered Ye Yuan too and shouted angrily, ��Ye Yuan, you ruined my cultivation base. I��ll definitely make your soul disintegrate today!��


    All of a sudden, he saw Ye Yuan��s origin divinity and could not help being taken aback, and immediately laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, you actually only left with origin divinity! Mn? You �� Your origin divinity actually broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven already; how is this possible?!��


    The loud laughter stopped abruptly. Yan Jadetrue discovered that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was extremely compact. Furthermore, he already broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    He was merely only at the level of middle Jade Sovereign Heaven before!


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Could it be that only you��re allowed to scheme against me, and I��m not allowed to plot against you? Before coming out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace, my origin divinity had already been cultivated to Saint Sovereign Heaven! Otherwise, how can I dare to absorb the Voidsnap Immortal Condensation in front of you?��


    Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed again and again, and he said in a cold voice, ��Ye Yuan, you caused this exalt to fail in my breakthrough. But, even if it��s this half-baked True Sovereign Heaven, it��s sufficient to kill you too!��


    He was very careful, but who would have thought that he still got tricked in the end. The fury in his heart could be imagined.


    Yan Jadetrue had indeed broken through to True Sovereign Heaven, but the Frivolous Life Like a Dream��s existence had a great impact on his breakthrough.


    At this time, his origin divinity was between Saint Sovereign Heaven and True Sovereign Heaven. It neither went up nor down. This drove him incredibly crazy.


    ��Immortal Exterminating Finger!��


    Yan Jadetrue shouted coldly. Pointing a finger out, the wind and clouds changed colors.


    The outrageous power of Great Dao combined with a powerful origin divinity attack made this finger sufficient to exterminate immortals!


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed slightly. The power of this finger absolutely surpassed the level of Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Even if a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven was here, they would probably be annihilated by a finger too.


    Although Yan Jadetrue��s physical body was destroyed, his cultivation base was still there, and he could still borrow heaven and earth spiritual energy to execute powerful martial techniques.


    He broke through to True Sovereign Heaven and comprehended the Great Dao rule of True Sovereign Heaven, his power immense.


    At this very moment, although Ye Yuan was startled, he did not panic.


    Divine Emergence was where Ye Yuan��s confidence lay!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan condensed a bow with soul force.


    Bending the bow and notching the arrow!


    The bow and arrow were extremely solid, looking as if they were corporeal.


    When Yan Jadetrue saw it, his pupils constricted too.


    ��Arrow of God Extermination!��


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan released three arrows in a row, and it actually swept up a horrifying power of rule.


    The spiritual energy undulation from the arrow tip was actually not the slightest bit weaker than Yan Jadetrue��s Immortal Exterminating Finger!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two powerful bursts of soul force exploded above the void.


    The two people gave a muffled groan at the same time and flew out backward.


    Their origin divinities actually became much dimmer in an instant.


    Yan Jadetrue looked at Ye Yuan ferociously and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��What a fierce origin divinity mystic art! It looks like in these short few hundred years, you��ve had an incredibly lucky encounter on the Rainclear Continent again! However, brat, can you beat me by using this kind of mutual destruction fighting style?��


    Ye Yuan was not the slightest bit afraid and said in a cold voice, ��Won��t you know after trying it?��


    Done talking, he did not hesitate in the slightest and bent the bow and notched the arrows again!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The Arrow of God Extermination was released three times in a row again!


    Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed wildly. This arrow was released with soul force and was unrivaledly tyrannical. He had no way to evade at all.


    He gritted his teeth and pointed a finger out again.


    ��Immortal Exterminating Finger!��


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The void trembled, the aftershocks of the two people��s battle spread extremely far away, attracting the attention of countless powerhouses.


    ��What a powerful origin divinity undulation! Who is fighting at Inklight Forest that side?��


    ��It��s actually two origin divinities that are fighting! What terrifying power, origin divinity mystic arts can actually erupt with such terrifying power!��


    ��Eh, one of them seems to be a Saint Exalt powerhouse; the other �� is so strong! That origin divinity undulation seems to have already surpassed Saint Exalt!��


    ��That lower Saint Sovereign Heaven is so strong, to actually fight with the other party until neither can gain the upper hand! But at this rate, the two of their origin divinities will both be annihilated, right?��


    �� ��


    Ever since the passageway was connected, Inklight Forest had many powerhouses gathered to begin with.


    When they saw Ye Yuan jump realms to battle, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with amazement.


    These two origin divinities were not on the same level at all. In the end, they actually fought to a draw.


    This kind of battle was too inconceivable.


    In virtually a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan released dozens of arrows. His origin divinity was becoming dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    However, Yan Jadetrue��s origin divinity was no better too.


    Divine Emergence��s mystic art, Arrow of God Extermination, was a fighting style that gambled with one��s life.


    With their own soul force as a guide, it erupted with an incomparably powerful lethality, obliterating the other party��s origin divinity.


    This move was incredibly powerful but also caused self-destruction to kill the enemy.


    Ye Yuan was gambling. He was betting that Yan Jadetrue could not hold out first!


    This was because there was still the Frivolous Life Like a Dream in Yan Jadetrue��s origin divinity!

 Chapter 2761 - Come Hunt Me Down if You Have the Ability!

    Chapter 2761: Come Hunt Me Down if You Have the Ability!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One astonishing rumbling sound after another exploded in the horizon. The undulations spread extremely far away.


    Origin divinities engaging in battle did not have fresh blood, but it was even more dangerous.


    Each move damaged the foundation!


    If Heavenly Stratum powerhouses lost their fleshy bodies, the origin divinity could exist independently and cultivate.


    But, without the origin divinity, one would really be dead.


    Each of Ye Yuan��s arrows was unparalleled and domineering. It was useless no matter how Yan Jadetrue dodged.


    At the opposite end, Yan Jadetrue was being bombarded until he cried out but was at a loss on what to do.


    Although he cultivated to True Sovereign Heaven, in terms of origin divinity means, how could he measure up to Ye Yuan?


    Each of Ye Yuan��s arrows was burning the origin divinity, erupting with a power that far exceeded his level.


    If his physical body was still around, even if he was not a genuine True Sovereign Heaven, it would be more than enough to deal with Ye Yuan too.


    But unfortunately, Ye Yuan had incredible power in the path of origin divinity!


    ��Damn it! How can you, a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven, erupt with such a terrifying origin divinity attack?�� Yan Jadetrue yelled strangely.


    The Arrow of God Extermination in Ye Yuan��s hands did not stop as he said indifferently, ��You should have expected when you made a move against me, and I��m not that easy to deal with!��


    ��You lunatic! Attacking like this, you��ll be the first to die!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said, ��So what? When your origin divinity is obliterated to a certain degree, Frivolous Life Like a Dream will naturally claim your life! You have to expend considerable soul force to suppress the Frivolous Life Like a Dream currently, right?��


    When Yan Jadetrue heard that, he was practically about to go berserk, crying out strangely repeatedly.


    That��s right!


    The reason why he was helpless to do anything to Ye Yuan was precisely because of the Frivolous Life Like a Dream��s existence.


    Otherwise, with his current origin divinity strength, no matter how formidable Ye Yuan��s means, it was impossible to be his match too.


    True Sovereign Heaven and Saint Sovereign Heaven were two different levels to begin with!


    To the vast majority of people, that was an insurmountable chasm.


    But it was also precisely because of this that Yan Jadetrue was depressed until he wanted to vomit blood.


    He schemed heavily and finally reached True Sovereign Heaven, but he was actually suppressed by Ye Yuan until he was unable to retaliate!


    This battle was too fierce and already alarmed countless powerhouses.


    At the borders of the battlefield, Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s powerhouses had already rushed over.


    This battle��s commotion was too big. They felt it far away at Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    It was in their territory. So it was impossible for them to not come.


    Sect Master Chen Tai��s brows furrowed tightly, and he said, ��Head Elder, do you feel that that True Sovereign Heaven��s origin divinity is very familiar?��


    Head Elder��s expression changed over and over again, and he said, ��You��re saying �� Ancestor? Honestly, that��s really true! But Ancestor has already broken through to True Sovereign Heaven, and he��s actually not Ye Yuan��s match! Also, why would Ye Yuan be fighting with Ancestor in an origin divinity state? Could it be that �� his physical body was annihilated?��


    Yan Jadetrue discovered them too and roared, ��Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s disciples, what are you all still in a daze for? I��m the Ancestor! hurry up and kill this brat!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of Chen Tai and the rest changed greatly.


    However, they did not act right away because they were still unsure.


    Yan Jadetrue yelled loudly when he saw the situation. He said, ��The Heavenspan Mountain is on this boy! As long as we kill him, not only will our Jadetrue Heavenly Sect rise again, we��ll be able to overtake all sects! This exalt has already lost my physical body. It��s useless to me! At that time, the Heavenspan Mountain will be yours!��


    ��That small world that you all passed through when you went to the Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm was refined by this exalt. It��s called the Heavenspan World! Ye Yuan ascended from the Heavenspan World! Now, do you all understand? This kid no longer has much soul force. His origin divinity is greatly damaged. We��ll be able to kill him by joining hands!��


    The words made the faces of Chen Tai and the rest change once again.


    Being able to say these words, they had already determined that this was their Ancestor.


    Furthermore, what Yan Jadetrue said also made them quite moved.


    There was no way to use a grandmist treasure without the physical body. This was also a fact.


    Therefore, as long as they killed Ye Yuan, then the Heavenspan Mountain would be theirs.


    This temptation was huge.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, and he said, ��Don��t be naive! You all are nothing but chess pieces in his eyes! The Sacred Sieve Mystic Realm��s passageway opening was done by him! You all saw it. Does your Ancestor care about your life and death? If not for me, you all would have long died in the Labyrinth Divine Palace! Now, he��s merely making use of you all, that��s all!��


    ��Chen Tai, you stay out of today��s matter. I��ll let you break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven later on! I, Ye Yuan, am a man of my word, you know it!��


    Chen Tai and the rest were just about to take action, but they started hesitating again because of what Ye Yuan said.


    When in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, Ye Yuan had always been guarding against him and did not let him break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But Ye Yuan��s trustworthiness was indeed very good.


    Back then, Ye Yuan snatched Shi Yue��s Heavenly Burial Water Caltrop Flower but helped him refine the Four Qi Pill later on.


    If it were someone else, they definitely would not have done so.


    When Yan Jadetrue saw Chen Tai hesitate, he could not help becoming exasperated!


    He already almost could not suppress the Frivolous Life Like a Dream anymore.


    Once it erupted, under an internal revolt and foreign invasion, he would definitely die before Ye Yuan!


    At this rate, he would die without a doubt!


    Yan Jadetrue��s intestines were already green with regret now!


    He thought that Ye Yuan had been searching for people these few years, and it was impossible to have broken through to Saint Sovereign. That was why he came to settle the scores.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity had long already broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Although he broke through to True Sovereign Heaven, there was a large part of his soul force that had to be used to suppress the Frivolous Life Like a Dream.


    Under his violent rage, he made a move against Ye Yuan without the slightest hesitation.


    As a result, the end was tragic.


    Since he dreaded Ye Yuan, he should have immediately left after breaking through!


    Settle what scores?


    It was simply seeking death!


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was already very dim, but he was also not far from death anymore.


    ��Damn it! Ye Yuan, you forced me!��


    Yan Jadetrue was hit by an arrow. Borrowing the force of the counter-shock, he rushed toward the crowd.


    Ye Yuan��s figure moved. Chasing after, it was another arrow!


    ��Ahh!��


    Yan Jadetrue screamed miserably, but his speed accelerated even faster!


    And the direction that he was flying in was precisely Chen Tai there!


    When Chen Tai saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically, turning around and fleeing.


    But it was already too late!


    How fast was Yan Jadetrue��s speed?


    He grabbed toward Chen Tai and actually directly grabbed Chen Tai��s origin divinity out!


    Yan Jadetrue was too strong. Chen Tai did not have the power to resist at all.


    It was not just Chen Tai. He grabbed across and more than ten Jade Sovereign Heavens�� origin divinities were extracted by him.


    ��You bastards! This exalt established the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect. You guys are actually disrespectful to this exalt! Forget it. This exalt will use your origin divinities to block this calamity then!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, shooting out the Arrow of God Extermination again.


    Yan Jadetrue laughed loudly and directly threw those ten plus origin divinities over.


    Boom!


    The void exploded!


    The origin divinities of Chen Tai and the rest directly exploded.


    But Yan Jadetrue��s figure flew towards the south.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted coldly, ��Yan Jadetrue, you can��t escape! My Arrow of God Extermination has my origin divinity mark. You��ve been struck by so many. Even if you hide underground, I can find you too!��


    From far away, Yan Jadetrue shouted, ��This exalt can��t afford to provoke you, but I can afford to hide! Today, this exalt will leave the Rainclear Continent. Come hunt me down if you have the ability!��

    The powerhouses that were onlooking were stunned!


    You��re a True Sovereign Heaven, but you��re so cowardly?


    The True Sovereign Heaven of the legends that was flying up to heaven and tunneling into the earth; each one of them was omnipotent!


    In the end, he was sent packing by a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    It was fine that he was driven away. But he actually directly said that he was going to get away from the Rainclear Continent!


    People looked at Ye Yuan��s near-empty origin divinity, their gaze full of confusion and admiration.


    This guy was really impressive!


    However, Ye Yuan also let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Jadetrue ran.


    This battle had practically exhausted his origin divinity entirely!


    The origin divinity of a True Sovereign Heaven was really too formidable.


    Even if Yan Jadetrue did not have much origin divinity means, even if he allocated the vast majority of his soul force to suppress the Frivolous Life Like a Dream, the opponent was still powerful until it made people despair.


    However, he did not lie to Yan Jadetrue. The Arrow of God Extermination could indeed imprint a mark.


    Within a certain range, Ye Yuan could sense the existence of the other party��s origin divinity.


    Nowhere to hide!


    Furthermore, with the Divine Emergence��s capability, it was virtually impossible for Yan Jadetrue to want to erase the mark!


    At this time, Ye Yuan could feel that Yan Jadetrue was currently heading south at an extremely fast speed.


    It looked like he was truly scared.


    Ye Yuan was not worried about him causing new problems. Yan Jadetrue��s state was not much better than him.


    Frivolous Life Like a Dream was already on the verge of eruption.


    Looking at the corpses that covered the land, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head slightly.


    The Jadetrue Heavenly Sect was considered to be thoroughly finished.


    Yan Jadetrue created the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect with his own hands and also personally destroyed the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    But none of this had anything to do with him.


    As long as his loved ones were safe, everything was fine.


    The current Ye Yuan was extremely weak as if a gust of wind would be able to scatter his origin divinity.


    He turned around slightly and was about to leave.


    But right at this time, the void suddenly flickered, and a figure stopped him.


    The arrival looked at Ye Yuan and asked, ��You��re Ye Yuan? Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Ye Yuan?��


    In front of him was a middle-aged man in Chinese clothing. He actually had Saint Sovereign Heaven cultivation.


    But it looked like he had just broken through not long ago.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. The other party clearly did not come with friendly intentions.


    ��It��s precisely this Ye!�� Ye Yuan did not have the intention of denying it and said coolly.


    But, the moment these words came out, the expressions of the powerhouses present changed one after another.


    ��It��s actually him! Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s remnant spawn! He��s actually not dead!��


    ��Not only did he not die, his origin divinity even broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven! Just now, he even routed the origin divinity of a True Sovereign Heaven until he fled!��


    ��However, he��s already an arrow at the end of its flight now! Zhang Kaiyun probably won��t let him off!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not know this man, but the majority of the powerhouses present knew him.


    This man was none other than precisely Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s first seat, Zhang Kaiyun!


    And Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s first seat was naturally a member of the Pill Alliance!


    When Ye Yuan entered the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, Zhang Kaiyun was in closed-seclusion.


    A few days ago, Zhang Kaiyun broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven and just exited seclusion.


    He did not expect that today, an astonishing great battle would happen within the boundary of Jadetrue Heavenly Sect.


    Through Yan Jadetrue and Ye Yuan��s conversation, Zhang Kaiyun learned of Ye Yuan��s identity very quickly.


    Back then, when the Pill Alliance launched an attack ahead of schedule, it was because of Ye Yuan. As one of the Pill Alliance��s middle-level, Zhang Kaiyun naturally knew about Ye Yuan��s identity.


    It was just that he never thought that the present Ye Yuan was already so formidable, to actually beat a True Sovereign Heaven until he covered his head and scurried away!


    At that time, he already gave rise to the idea of reaping advantages from both sides without lifting a finger.


    The moment the middle-aged man heard, two rays of brilliant light shot out of his eyes.


    ��Hahaha �� Fortune is really shining down on me, Zhang Kaiyun, recently! First, I broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. After that, I picked up a great contribution for free!�� Zhang Kaiyun said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re a member of the Pill Alliance?��


    Zhang Kaiyun smiled and said, ��That��s right! This exalt is Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s first seat! A few days ago, this exalt just broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. I didn��t expect that you delivered this exalt a big gift so quickly!��


    Zhang Kaiyun laughed very happily. Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s collapse had nothing to do with him whatsoever.


    Him being in the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect, apart from extortion, it was still espionage.


    It was also precisely because of this that he could break the shackles and break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    The Pill Alliance��s first seats were no different from vampires in the various sects.


    In his view, Ye Yuan was already in his pocket.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhang Kaiyun and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��In that case, you��ve got me?��


    Zhang Kaiyun similarly had a smile that was not a smile and said, ��Boy, you��re already an arrow at the end of its flight. Do you think that this exalt can��t tell? Earlier, you forcefully mustered up a breath and used that move to scare Yan Jadetrue away. Now, if you release that move again, your own origin divinity will probably be buried in oblivion first, right? Furthermore, this exalt��s physical body is in good condition. I��m not afraid of your origin divinity attack!��


    With regards to Ye Yuan, Zhang Kaiyun was clearly brimming with confidence.


    He had long seen through that Ye Yuan��s Arrow of God Extermination move was a hand-to-hand combat move that specifically targeted the origin divinity.


    This kind of move was extremely lethal to an exposed origin divinity.


    But he was Saint Sovereign Heaven. His origin divinity was similarly incomparably powerful. Furthermore, it resided in the sea of consciousness.


    It was simply a fool��s talk for Ye Yuan to want to use that move to directly breach his sea of consciousness!


    If Ye Yuan was still at the height of his power, he would naturally be a little fearful.


    But now, apart from surrendering without resistance, Ye Yuan had no other path to take!


    Zhang Kaiyun became more and more confident as he spoke and continued to say smugly, ��Furthermore, do you think that a member of my Pill Alliance is the same as that fool just now? Without origin divinity attack means? Huhu, my Pill Alliance��s foundation is what you can��t imagine!��


    Finished saying, Zhang Kaiyun��s origin divinity power spread out, the expressions of the powerhouses around changed one after another.


    So strong!


    Zhang Kaiyun��s origin divinity power and Ye Yuan��s, one was like the noonday sun while the other was like the sun setting in the west; there was no comparison at all.


    The illusory Ye Yuan was still very calm at this time and could not help laughing as he said, ��So, this is all of your analysis? You feel that I already don��t have the strength to fight back now. You were sitting on top of the mountain watching the tigers fight previously, waiting for the two of us to wear each other out before you dare to come out and deal with me?��


    Zhang Kaiyun��s face turned black. Ye Yuan��s words were very insulting!


    Ye Yuan was indifferent to the black-faced Zhang Kaiyun and continued saying, ��You Pill Alliance has a deep foundation. Your cultivation realm is similar to mine. Furthermore, your origin divinity is stowed in your sea of consciousness. This powerful and you don��t even dare to come out and have a frontal confrontation? Maybe if you made a move just now, the result would be totally different! Very sorry to tell you, True Sovereign Heaven isn��t as weak as you imagine! The reason why Yan Jadetrue was beaten until like that by me was that he was just lacking an opportunity to catch his breath! Once he catches his breath, I��ll only have one road open to me; it will be death!��


    The more Ye Yuan said those words, the blacker Zhang Kaiyun��s face became.


    He suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed something.


    Ye Yuan continued talking, ��Saying so much, I actually just want to tell you that you missed the best chance to capture or kill me! Although the current me is already an arrow at the end of its flight, killing a weakling like you, this degree is enough. No matter how plentiful your means, how deep your foundation, you��re still too weak to stand up to a single blow in front of me!��


    Zhang Kaiyun smiled coldly and said, ��Brat, are you making an empty show of strength? Do you think that this exalt will let you off like this?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Making an empty show of strength? You��re thinking too much!��


    Zhang Kaiyun only felt his head go buzz, and then he did not know anything anymore.


    He did not even have the chance to release the big move that he was preparing!

 Chapter 2763 - Brothers of One Mind, the Sharpness Can Cut Metal!

    Chapter 2763: Brothers of One Mind, the Sharpness Can Cut Metal!


    Dong!


    Zhang Kaiyun��s dead body fell to the ground heavily. Everyone was startled, only then, coming back to their senses.


    Dead?


    Earlier, what kind of great soul-stirring battle was that!


    But now, they did not even detect origin divinity undulation, and Zhang Kaiyun was already dead.


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse was weak like a little chick.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan had the Heavenspan Mountain in his hands, there were still many people whose thoughts were stirring just now.


    But now, they immediately extinguished this thought.


    Too dangerous.


    What did the Pill Alliance��s origin divinity secret arts amount to in front of the soul race��s Divine Emergence?


    It was true that Ye Yuan had expended a lot of energy, but killing a Zhang Kaiyun at the same rank was not considered very hard.


    ��Go tell the Pill Alliance. I, Ye Yuan, am back.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across the crowd, and he returned to the Heavenspan World.


    Very soon, news concerning this battle spread rapidly.


    In the Five Great Heavenly Regions. Everything was in a stir!


    The True Sovereign Heaven that only existed in the legends appeared.


    But this True Sovereign Heaven had just appeared and was actually driven away by the Ye Yuan who returned domineeringly!


    The Ye Yuan, who had once established the Pill Pavilion and triggered the Pill Alliance War, was not dead!


    He returned!


    He already grew to the point where he could instantly kill Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    Various major heavenly sects of the Five Great Heavenly Regions started to have their thoughts stir.


    Becoming the Pill Alliance��s puppets was just due to the Pill Alliance��s despotic power. The various sects�� powerhouses were naturally not willing.


    That indifferent sentence when Ye Yuan left was undoubtedly telling the Pill Alliance that he, Ye Yuan, already had the ability to enact revenge!


    However, powerhouses from all around were still waiting and watching.


    They were waiting, waiting for how Ye Yuan would take vengeance on the Pill Alliance!


    �� ��


    At the Pill Alliance, in their great hall, several dozen powerful auras made people give sidelong glances.


    Li Changsheng was seated high above, his gaze staring at a Saint Sovereign Heaven below, and said nothing for a long time.


    The atmosphere in the great hall seemed very inhibiting.


    That Saint Sovereign Heaven who was being stared at had cold sweat breaking out profusely on his forehead.


    Finally, he could not endure this gaze and stepped out of the ranks and said, ��General Alliance, this �� at that time, I pierced through the void with one punch and completely messed up the spatial rule! Logically speaking, it��s absolutely impossible for him to have survived!��


    This person was precisely the Five Light Pill Alliance��s Alliance Chief who led the Pill Alliance to destroy the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect that day, Zhao Ding!


    When the news came, his first reaction was that it was nonsense!


    A Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum actually survived under his punch!


    This sort of thing was too fantastical!


    ��But he has indeed lived! Not only did he survive, but he even cultivated to Saint Sovereign Heaven!�� Li Changsheng said indifferently, without joy nor sorrow.


    ��This �� This �� General Alliance, you give me a chance. I��ll go kill him!�� Zhao Ding gritted his teeth and said.


    Li Changsheng looked right at him and said, ��Can you kill him? When Zhang Kaiyun confronted him, he was instantly killed by him with an origin divinity attack! Although you��re middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, are you sure that you can block his origin divinity attack?��


    ��I ����


    Zhao Ding was speechless.


    The news that came over was too ridiculous!


    The lower Saint Sovereign Heaven Ye Yuan actually beat a True Sovereign Heaven until he covered his head and scurried away.


    How could this kind of thing possibly happen?


    But it seemed like many impossible things had already happened.


    At this time, Li Changsheng suddenly took a jade slip out and said coolly, ��This is an origin divinity defense mystic art. After cultivating it, it��s sufficient to resist origin divinity attacks of the same level! During this period, you all put aside the affairs in your hands and cultivate well! No matter how strong that brat is, he��s merely one person, that��s all. He can��t stir up much of a wave.��


    The moment everyone heard, they were immediately overjoyed!


    Origin divinity attacks were extremely hard to defend against. With this, they would not be afraid of Ye Yuan anymore.


    Zhao Ding was overjoyed and said, ��Many thanks, General Alliance! General Alliance, rest assured. After this subordinate cultivates this mystic art, I��ll definitely go and kill this boy!��


    Li Changsheng nodded slightly and did not say anything.


    A measly little Ye Yuan, he did not take him seriously.


    �� ��


    At the Blood Alliance, a man stood on top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, his gaze excited as he said, ��Punk, I knew that you wouldn��t die so easily! As long as the two of us brothers are around, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect isn��t destroyed! There will come one day where we��ll annihilate the Pill Alliance!��


    The famous Blood Alliance��s Alliance Chief was precisely Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s former heaven��s chosen, Luo Yunqing!


    These few years, he had been improved amidst slaughter, and finally, he reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    It was just that wanting to destroy the Pill Alliance was still far away and not in the foreseeable future.


    Ye Yuan��s return boosted his confidence, and he finally saw a glimmer of light.


    �� ��


    At the Heavenspan World, when Mi Tian saw Ye Yuan, he directly let loose a torrent of abuse.


    ��You bastard, why didn��t you die outside! Got to scam Your Father each time, messing around like you do, Your Father will be scammed by you until death before even returning home! Looking at your half-dead appearance, it��s better off to be dead!��


    Mi Tian made Yue Mengli carry Ye Yuan��s physical body back to the Labyrinth Divine Palace. He made use of the array formations in the Labyrinth Divine Palace to restore the fleshy boy��s losses.


    But Ye Yuan was currently an out-and-out pauper.


    During his previous cultivation, Ye Yuan had depleted all of his heavenly crystals. Later, in order to push on with the journey, he used up the heavenly pills on him.


    Helpless, Mi Tian could only inject his own true dragon power into the array formation to help Ye Yuan make up for the losses.


    In the end, he suffered a great loss in vitality again this time.


    However, this time was better than the last time. He still had the strength to scold people.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s origin divinity��s weak appearance, Yue Mengli said worriedly, ��Big Brother Yuan, are you alright?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s okay. The Heavenspan World��s hidden danger is considered completely uprooted this time! Later, I��ll help you all reach Heavenly Stratum. We��ll go to the 33 Heavens together!��


    Yue Mengli said, ��Then �� have you found a way to save Elder Sister Lingxue?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Before long, I��ll be able to help her condense her soul! Speaking of which, I still have to thank Senior Mi Tian for this matter.��


    ��Humph!��


    Mi Tian snorted coldly.


    These two people were publicly displaying affection, directly disregarding him.


    You scold yours; I��ll be mushy on my own.


    ��Really? That��s great! Heaven has eyes, finally being able to resurrect Big Sister Lingxue!�� Yue Mengli jumped up excitedly.


    She knew what the greatest haze in Ye Yuan��s heart was, so she was happy for Ye Yuan from the bottom of her heart.


    As for this origin divinity��s injuries, it was nothing to Ye Yuan.


    The soul race fought with origin divinity state. Damage was inevitable.


    Since the Divine Emergence was the soul race��s supreme canon, there was naturally the method to restore origin divinity.


    Three months later, Ye Yuan finally recovered to his peak state.


    After Ye Yuan returned to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, he severed the plane passageway with one sword, directly separating the Heavenspan World and Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    This way, he would completely have no worries.


    Without the plane passageway, even if it was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, they would not be able to pass through the boundary wall and reach the Heavenspan World as well.


    Having just returned to the Rainclear Continent, a figure came up to greet. It was precisely Luo Yunqing!


    ��Ye Yuan! Haha, I finally found you!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, and he said in pleasant surprise, ��Brother Luo, you��re safe and sound. It��s really great!��


    After some small talk, Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, since you came back, join our Blood Alliance! Us brothers of one mind, the sharpness can cut metal! No matter how strong the Pill Alliance is, we can always destroy them one day!��


    ��The Blood Alliance?�� Ye Yuan was taken aback and said in surprise, ��It turns out that this Blood Alliance was actually founded by you!��


    Luo Yunqing laughed loudly and said, ��Right now, there are 36 organizations resisting the Pill Alliance in the Five Great Heavenly Regions! My Blood Alliance is the strongest one! Overthrowing the Pill Alliance is a heavy burden with a long way to go. But, you and I being of one mind, we��ll be able to accomplish it one day!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing, a hint of strangeness revealing on his face..

    Chapter 2764: Be Right Back!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s surprise, Luo Yunqing even thought that his achievements were surprising and could not help feeling more proud of himself in his heart.


    Indeed, in a short hundred years�� time, not only did he cultivate to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven himself, he even supported such a colossal team. He had the qualifications to be proud.


    ��Brother Luo, is your strength �� the strongest in the Blood Alliance?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    ��Of course!��


    Luo Yunqing nodded and said, ��Our Blood Alliance has close to a thousand people. There are a total of three great alliance chiefs, including me and two deputies, all half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven! The other two are the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s and Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s powerhouses! Come, return to the Blood Alliance with me first. Let��s plan out the future in detail!��


    Luo Yunqing pulled Ye Yuan and gave no chance to explain before tearing across the air.


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only head over half-reluctantly.


    Ye Yuan was a little disappointed. They did not even have a Saint Sovereign Heaven. They could not stir any waves at all!


    To the Pill Alliance, they were simply small fries, right?


    Most likely, it was not even as intimidating as him throwing out a word.


    Along the trip, the two naturally could not dispense with a bout of small talk.


    Ye Yuan did not hide it either, briefly explaining the situation of him arriving at the Land of Heavenly South in an accident arising from many causes.


    Luo Yunqing learned that Ye Yuan cultivated bitterly in the Land of Heavenly South before he had today��s accomplishments and did not think too much either.


    However, over a short hundred years, it was already very difficult for Ye Yuan to be able to cultivate to upper Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Along the way, Luo Yunqing did not dare to put on a grand display and walked very carefully.


    Half a month later, the two people arrived at a mountain range at the edge of Daycreek Heavenly Region.


    In the mountains, the waterfall was surging akin to the Milky Way hanging upside down!


    Luo Yunqing brought Ye Yuan and actually passed right through the large waterfall and arrived in a spatial mystic realm.


    The scenery before their eyes changed; it was an altogether different world.


    In the mystic realm, there was a bustling scene.


    The vast majority of the people were cultivating. A minority was busying over miscellaneous affairs.


    Luo Yunqing smiled slightly and said, ��Ye Yuan, how��s my place?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, ��Not bad!��


    He really felt that it was not bad. With Luo Yunqing��s personality, he must have paid a lot to be able to build such a large foundation.


    ��This place was originally a small mystic realm. Our Blood Alliance captured it and transformed it into our base camp! Don��t look at how the Pill Alliance is formidable. Once we hide here, even if they dig three feet below the ground, they won��t be able to find us either! In the future, you cultivate here at ease. Leave the rest to me!��


    Just as he was speaking, two figures came up to greet.


    The two people said in unison, ��Alliance Chief!��


    Luo Yunqing smiled and said, ��Two brothers came just in time. Let me introduce him to you. Ye Yuan, this one was once the Myriad Manifestation Heavenly Sect��s peerless genius, Yu Haizheng. This is Shangyu Heavenly Sect��s deputy sect master, Zhou Yunxiang! The two of them are now my Alliance Chief��s deputy alliance chiefs and are my left and right arms!��


    Ye Yuan saluted the two of them and said, ��How do you do, Brother Yu, Brother Zhou!��


    Yu Haizheng smiled and said, ��I��ve long heard of Younger Brother Ye��s great reputation, pleased to meet you!��


    Luo Yunqing continued, ��Two brothers, this one is my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Ye Yuan, the founder of the Pill Pavilion! Also, he��s our Blood Alliance��s new alliance chief too!��


    The moment these words came out, Ye Yuan got a shock and knew that things were going to be bad.


    Sure enough, the expressions of Yu and Zhou two people changed.


    ��Alliance Chief, what��s the meaning of this?�� Zhou Yunxiang said with a solemn face.


    Luo Yunqing was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Ye Yuan is my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s new sect master. He naturally can��t be beneath this Luo! So from this day forth, Ye Yuan is my Blood Alliance��s Alliance Chief!��


    Before Ye Yuan said anything, Zhou Yunxiang said in a great rage, ��Luo Yunqing, what do you treat the Blood Alliance as?! We respect you as our alliance chief. That was you exchanging for it by fighting dauntlessly in bloody battles! This boy has yet to make the smallest contribution. What right does he have to be alliance chief? Your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect is your Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s business. What has it got to do with us?��


    Yu Haizheng also said, ��Alliance Chief, please retract the order!��


    The news that the Blood Alliance got was that Ye Yuan returned.


    As for what Ye Yuan had done in the True Yang Heavenly Domain, they were not aware.


    Under the high pressure from the Pill Alliance, it was too difficult for these scattered factions to want to get intel.


    Therefore, letting an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven be their alliance chief, they had ten thousand disapprovals.


    Luo Yunqing��s anger loomed, but he still suppressed it and said in a solemn voice, ��I��ve already decided on this matter. Don��t mention it again!��


    At this point, Ye Yuan had no choice but to speak.


    ��Brother Luo, I have no intention of assuming this position of alliance chief!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Luo Yunqing waved his hand lightly and said, ��Before Ancestor passed on, he already said before, to have me help you revive the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! Now, how can I override the sect master? Don��t mention this matter again!��


    Zhou Yunxiang also had a crude personality and said in a cold voice, ��Punk, don��t be phony here. We won��t let you be the alliance chief! Moreover, back then, if not for you, our five sects�� Dao teachings also wouldn��t have been destroyed!��


    Luo Yunqing��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a cold voice, ��Zhou Yunxiang, what do you mean?��


    Zhou Yunxiang smiled coldly and said, ��Don��t you understand what I mean?��


    Luo Yunqing said in a great rage, ��The Pill Alliance schemed for a long time. Even without the Pill Pavilion, they would have launched an attack sooner or later! Furthermore, at that time, there wouldn��t even be us, these remnant spawns! Don��t you even understand this?��


    Zhou Yunxiang said with a cold snort, ��So what? Blood Alliance was founded by our brothers using their lives. I only don��t want some random Tom, Dick, or Harry that came to harvest our fruits!��


    Ye Yuan could not help being speechless when he heard it.


    A faction that did not even have Saint Sovereign Heavens, would he be interested?


    Don��t look at how each and every one of these people seemed very impressive, rendering the Pill Alliance helpless.


    In reality, they were merely a joke in the Pill Alliance��s eyes!


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the mystic realm shook. Everyone��s expression changed.


    And right at this time, a subordinate suddenly came to report in a panic: ��Three alliance chiefs, things are bad! Our mystic realm has already been surrounded by the Pill Alliance until not even water can seep through!��


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed wildly, and he said, ��Who did the Pill Alliance send?��


    The subordinate��s complexion was deathly pale as he said, ��There are 15 half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens outside, and countless Jade Sovereign Heaven and Limitless Sublime Heaven powerhouses! Our base should have been exposed!��


    The moment everyone heard, their faces turned deathly pale.


    They had no way of matching this power at all!


    The Pill Alliance��s army clearly came prepared!


    Zhou Yunxiang��s expression turned dark, and he pointed at Ye Yuan angrily and said, ��It must be this boy! He just arrived, and the Pill Alliance��s people came! Luo Yunqing, you still want him to be the alliance chief?��


    Luo Yunqing said in a great rage, ��Zhou Yunxiang! Keep talking and Your Father will kill you! Ye Yuan is loyal and righteous. It��s absolutely impossible to betray us!��


    But Zhou Yunxiang did not buy it and said with a sneer, ��One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature! Moreover, so many years have passed. How do you know that he didn��t change? A measly little Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum back then became an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven in a short hundred years, don��t you find it strange?��


    Clank!


    Luo Yunqing��s long sword suddenly left its sheath, and a sword charged toward Zhou Yunxiang.


    Zhou Yunxiang could question him, but he could not question Ye Yuan!


    However, this sword was blocked.


    The one who blocked this sword was none other than precisely Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Isn��t it just a group of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens? Leave it to me. Brother Luo, wait for a moment.. I��ll be right back.��

 Chapter 2765 - Dumbfounded!

    Ye Yuan��s voice had yet to fade when Yu Haizheng stopped him.


    ��What? You lured the Pill Alliance��s people over, and now, you still want to leave?�� Yu Haizheng said with a cold smile.


    The timing was too coincidental; they had just reached, and the Pill Alliance��s people came. It was not up to the Blood Alliance��s people to not suspect.


    And in reality, Ye Yuan had also been very careful along the way.


    His divine sense had always been spread out. Even if there were Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses following them, it absolutely could not escape Ye Yuan��s probing too.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was very sure that the Blood Alliance��s base camp was indeed exposed.


    In reality, with the Pill Alliance��s present strength, if they really made up their mind to deal with the Blood Alliance, how could there be the logic of not being able to find them?


    The reason why they let them do as they pleased was actually merely just waiting for them to grow fat before slaughtering.


    If he was the Pill Alliance��s alliance chief, he would do the same too.


    Rather than there being opposing voices everywhere, might as well fatten them up and round them up in one fell swoop.


    And he himself was merely there at the right time, that was all.


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly and said, ��Brother Yu is mistaken. But this place is already exposed. You all had best gather your things and prepare to leave.��


    Finished saying that, Ye Yuan��s figure swayed, and he directly vanished in front of Yu Haizheng��s eyes.


    What a joke!


    Regarding the present Ye Yuan, his spatial rule already reached late-stage fourth level. How could a mere Yu Haizheng stop him?


    Yu Haizheng��s expression changed wildly. Turning his head to look, he discovered that Ye Yuan��s figure was already gone.


    Yu Haizheng was exploded with fury and yelled coldly, ��Luo Yunqing, look what you��ve done! We��ve shared life and death for more than a hundred years. You actually invited a wolf into the house and let a thousand brothers fall into a deathtrap!��


    Zhou Yunxiang smiled coldly and said, ��Huhu, Luo Yunqing, you��re very good! You actually drew your sword against me!��


    At this time, Luo Yunqing also calmed down. Drawing a deep breath, he said, ��Two brothers, it was me who was impulsive just now! But, to say that Ye Yuan betrayed the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, I won��t believe it even if I die! Being confronted by a formidable enemy, we can��t have internal strife! Two brothers, let��s tide over the difficult hurdle this time first! Later, you guys charge out with me. I��ll do all that I can and delay the half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses as much as possible! The two of you, bring our brothers to break out of the encirclement. How many can escape will depend on fate!��


    Hearing that Luo Yunqing said so, Yu Haizheng two people also knew that the matter was of utmost importance.


    Having internal strife at this time was equivalent to seeking death.


    The two nodded their heads and started counting the men, preparing to break out of the encirclement.


    For the Blood Alliance to be able to become the number one great faction, they naturally did not have an undeserved reputation.


    The thousand-strong troop was done assembling very quickly.


    Luo Yunqing took the lead, and everyone had an expression full of a stirring and solemn noble spirit to die on their faces.


    Clearly, they were all prepared to fight to the death.


    Luo Yunqing��s gaze turned intent, and he shouted loudly, ��KILL!��


    ��KILL!��


    Luo Yunqing leaped and was about to charge out of the mystic realm.


    But right at this time, a figure appeared at the entrance.


    Ye Yuan looked at everyone and said with a smile, ��All packed? Just nice then. This place isn��t somewhere to stay for long. Let��s go.��


    Everyone exchanged glances, especially Zhou Yunxiang and Yu Haizheng two people who had confused faces.


    Why did this guy come back?


    If this guy was a traitor, why would he come back?


    If he was not, this guy was spotless and did not seem like he had experienced a great battle at all.


    What in the world was going on?


    Also, where were the scouts? Why hasn��t a single one returned until now?


    ��Ye Yuan, why did you come back? With your movement technique, escaping shouldn��t be a problem. Hurry up and go!�� Luo Yunqing said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I naturally came to bring you all away. Come with me.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan turned around and went out of the mystic realm.


    Luo Yunqing��s gaze turned intent, and he followed after.


    Passing through the entrance, Luo Yunqing raised his aura to the highest, preparing to battle.


    But very soon, he was stupefied.


    There wasn��t a single person outside of the large waterfall.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The Blood Alliance army came out of the passageway one after another. After coming out, they were stunned too.


    Wasn��t it said that they were surrounded?


    Wasn��t it said that there were countless powerhouses?


    Where were the people?


    At this time, a scout suddenly scurried out.


    Zhou Yunxiang shouted coldly, ��Wang Chun! What have the few of you been doing?��


    Wang Chun smiled bitterly and said, ��Alliance Chief Zhou, j-just now, I was seriously dumbfounded and momentarily forgot to come in to report.��


    Zhou Yunxiang��s brows furrowed slightly. He knew that the members of the Blood Alliance were all veterans of a hundred battles. What kind of grand occasion had they not seen before?


    What could render even a wily old fox like Wang Chun dumbfounded?


    He could not help looking towards Ye Yuan, thinking to himself, it wouldn��t be that this guy did something, right?


    How was this possible?


    What kind of earth-shattering major thing could an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven do?


    But, Wang Chun gave Ye Yuan a glance fearfully and said, ��The �� The moment this lord came out, he killed off all of the other party��s half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens within ten breaths! The Pill Alliance��s army scattered and fled in disorder in a blink of an eye! His Excellency pursued all the way and slew all of the other party��s Jade Sovereign Heavens ����


    Dead silence!


    What kind of freaking fantasy tale are you talking about?!


    An upper Jade Sovereign heaven killed off all the half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens in ten breaths?


    Suddenly, Zhou Yunxiang exploded in anger and said, ��Wang Chun, what nonsense are you saying? You mean, he killed the Pill Alliance��s army by himself?��


    Wang Chun��s expression was ugly as he said, ��I-It��s like that!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Have the corpses been gathered?��


    Wang Chun nodded and said, ��The brothers are currently gathering them. It should be about done. Your Excellency, I��ll bring you over!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and followed.


    The corpses of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens naturally had quite a number of spoils.


    To the Blood Alliance, it was a huge harvest too.


    Very soon, corpses that strewn across the land appeared in front of everyone.


    The whole place fell into dead silence once again!


    ��Li Chuan! Chai Meng! Yang Nan! They �� They are all dead ���� Zhou Yunxiang looked at these dead bodies, his eyeballs almost popping out.


    These half-step Saint Sovereign heavens had fought with them many times.


    The Blood Alliance had suffered big losses at these few people��s hands!


    Now, they were actually all dead!


    ��Hahaha ����


    Suddenly, Luo Yunqing laughed loudly and said, ��Ye Yuan, you really broadened my horizons today! You punk, you really hid from me bitterly!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You didn��t ask either!��


    As he said, he looked at Zhou Yunxiang and said with a smile, ��Brother Zhou, Brother Yu, now, I can prove that I��m not a traitor, right?��


    Zhou Yunxiang revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, ��O-Of course!��


    He currently wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    From the very start, he had been questioning Ye Yuan��s qualifications.


    Later, he even questioned that Ye Yuan was a traitor and that the people were brought by him.


    But now, facts proved that Ye Yuan was simply their savior!


    Today, if not for Ye Yuan, the Blood Alliance would have been totally finished!


    As for Yu Haizheng, he even broke out in cold sweat.


    He actually wanted to make a move against Ye Yuan just now.


    Ye Yuan killed half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens like killing chickens. If so, then to kill him alone, he reckoned that just lifting a hand would do.


    How could an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven be so terrifying?


    ��Lord �� Ye, just now, it was all this Yu who had eyes but couldn��t see, hope that Lord Ye doesn��t take it to heart.�� Yu Haizheng said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, ��Two brothers don��t have to be like this. It wasn��t easy for the Blood Alliance to rise up. Being a little cautious is a must. In reality, I didn��t come to the Blood Alliance to be your alliance chief but came to invite Brother Luo and the two of you to make a trip to Myriad Demons Mountain together. But now, your base has already been exposed, and you can��t continue staying here. Why don��t you bring the brothers along and go to Myriad Demons Mountain with me?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed again.


    Luo Yunqing said in surprise, ��Ye Yuan, Myriad Demons Mountain is the territory of true spirits, with countless powerhouses in it. There are even Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! Can we, these people �� go?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax. Would I harm you?��

 Chapter 2766 - The Present All-Saint Temple!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Entering the Myriad Demons Mountain, the hearts of Luo Yunqing and the rest tensed up.


    Waves of powerful auras came from all around. These were all the auras of Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    They all, this bit of people, were too weak in front of the true spirit army.


    But what surprised them was that they actually proceeded unimpeded all the way.


    Coming out of the base, the Blood Alliance also received a lot of news along the way.


    The factions opposing the Pill Alliance in the Five Great Heavenly Regions, out of the 36 strongest ones, more than half of them were destroyed!


    The remaining ones also suffered heavy casualties.


    This piece of news made Luo Yunqing and the rest feel lingering fear.


    Zhou Yunxiang and Yu Haizheng were even ashamed until they could not even lift their heads.


    At this time, if they still did not understand what happened, then they could forget about being the deputy alliance chiefs.


    They realized that Ye Yuan really caught up to this upheaval by chance.


    But it was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan saved everyone in the Blood Alliance.


    And they actually even misunderstood Ye Yuan, thinking that Ye Yuan betrayed them.


    The party arrived at Bull Demon Mountain, and it instantly became lively.


    ��Hall Master Ye!��


    ��Hello, Master Ye!��


    ��Hall Master Ye is back!��


    �� ��


    Seeing one powerhouse after another greet Ye Yuan, everyone felt extremely shocked.


    It seemed like Ye Yuan was living very well on Myriad Demons Mountain!


    Suddenly, an unparalleled and powerful aura arrived from afar with a howl.


    Luo Yunqing three people exchanged a glance, their expressions suddenly changing.


    The aura of a Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    In a blink of an eye, they saw Big Yellow��s figure appear in front of Ye Yuan.


    Big Yellow chuckled and said, ��You all are Master Ye��s friends, right? I��m just Master Ye��s servant. Don��t need to be courteous with me, just call me Big Yellow.��


    ��S-Servant?�� Luo Yunqing almost bit his tongue off.


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually Ye Yuan��s servant?


    Luo Yunqing wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into now.


    Too freaking embarrassing!


    To think that after he met Ye Yuan, he kept showing off about his great achievements over the years.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan he already took a Saint Sovereign Heaven in as a servant!


    Compared to this, what did the Blood Alliance count as!


    With a slap from Big Yellow, the entire Blood Alliance would be destroyed!


    Zhou Yunxiang two people were even more embarrassed. They kept stopping Ye Yuan from being the alliance chief previously and almost drew their weapons against Luo Yunqing.


    When Ye Yuan said that he was not going to be the Blood Alliance��s alliance chief back then, Zhou Yunxiang even scolded him for being phony.


    In the end, he really looked down on it!


    But Big Yellow ignored their surprise and said to Ye Yuan, ��Master Ye, you��re finally back! Big Yellow was worried sick these few years! Later on, I went back several times but couldn��t find you and that person, so I could only return.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Was threatening, but not dangerous, it��s finally resolved. How are the preparations on this side?��


    Big Yellow beamed and said, ��Master Ye, make a guess how many Saint Sovereign Heavens our All-Saint Temple has now?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing as he said, ��Quickly say! Stop leaving me hanging!��


    Big Yellow smiled and said, ��Including the original nine of us, there are a total of 35 Saint Sovereign Heavens now! The batch of half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens previously have already all stepped into Saint Sovereign Heaven now! These few years, the phenomenon in the sky above our All-Saint Temple has never stopped!��


    Ye Yuan did not feel anything, but Luo Yunqing three people��s legs turned soft, and they nearly stumbled to the ground.


    A total of 35 Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    You��re freaking messing with me, right?!


    Adding up the Saint Sovereign Heavens on the entire Rainclear Continent, were there 35?


    This guy must be boasting!


    While talking, a woman walked toward them.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, she immediately bowed and said, ��Master Ye is back. Kong Ling thanks Master Ye for bestowing the pill!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re �� King Kong Ling? Oh, no, I should be calling you Saint Exalt Kong Ling now!��


    ��If not for master Ye, Kong Ling would probably have no hope for Saint Sovereign Heaven in this life! If Master Ye has any errands, feel free to instruct!��


    ��Haha, then I��ll be troubling Saint Exalt Kong Ling!��


    ��Master Ye is too courteous. It is ought to be!��


    After speaking, Kong Ling left.


    Along the way, he really bumped into many acquaintances.


    Ye Yuan had met these people at the Myriad Spirits Summit before. At that time, they were still all half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Now, they all broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven already.


    When these people saw Ye Yuan, they were naturally incomparably polite.


    Along the way, Ye Yuan was extremely busy.


    When a Saint Sovereign Heaven walked by, Zhou Yunxiang could not help swallowing his saliva and said to Yu Haizheng, ��How �� many was this?��


    Yu Haizheng took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, ��The seventh one!��


    Zhou Yunxiang also smiled bitterly and said, ��I��ve lived my whole life and have never seen before so many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! When did Saint Sovereign Heavens become cabbages too?��


    The three people exchanged a glance, all smiling bitterly without stopping.


    ��Huhu, the Saint Sovereign Heavens who broke through these few years were too many, the Myriad Demons Mountain��s all sorts of affairs need them to handle, so it seems a little messy.�� Big Yellow explained.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��How��s Heavenly South that side?��


    Big Yellow said, ��We sent a batch of heavenly pills over. The two great hall masters and three great family heads, as well as City Lord Manor��s City Lord Ironcore, have all already broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven! The Land of Heavenly South has six great Saint Sovereign Heavens now!��


    Luo Yunqing three people were already shocked until their innards had shifted positions.


    Even on that day when the five great heavenly sects were destroyed, they were also not as shocked as they were today.


    For more than a hundred years, they fought all the way, forcefully carving out a blood path, before they had a thousand strong Blood Alliance.


    But what did Ye Yuan do?


    This guy actually created a Saint Sovereign Heaven army!


    Now, just from what they heard, there were already 41 Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    No matter how formidable the Pill Alliance was, it was also impossible to have so many Saint Sovereign Heavens, right?


    Blood Alliance��s alliance chief?


    Luo Yunqing even had the desire to cry now.


    With extremely shocked feelings, the party arrived at All-Saint Temple.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Are there still Sacred Destiny Pills?��


    Big Yellow nodded and said, ��There are a lot of Sacred Destiny Pills. The three hall masters used three bottles for cultivation. The rest were distributed to those half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens. There are still two bottles remaining now, with almost 20 pills.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Give them three. Brother Luo, Brother Zhou, Brother Yu, you guys stay in the All-Saint Temple with peace of mind these few days and prepare to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven! The Pill Alliance exterminated our Five Great Heavenly Regions and enslaved the Rainclear Continent. Before long, we��ll definitely make them pay their debts in blood!��


    Zhou Yunxiang muttered, ��S-Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    He had never thought that he would actually be able to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven one day.


    Although he reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, he really did not have any ideas about Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    This step was way too difficult!


    So much so that when Ye Yuan said Saint Sovereign Heaven now, he felt like he was dreaming.


    Luo Yunqing smiled bitterly and said, ��It turns out that when you followed me to the Blood Alliance, you were planning to let the few of us break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Otherwise, what did you think? That day, the Pill Alliance brought close to 200 Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses to destroy our Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! Today, I��ll bring dozens of Saint Sovereign Heavens to trample their Pill Alliance! I don��t believe that his Pill Alliance can overturn the heavens!��


    One sentence made Luo Yunqing three people��s blood seethe with excitement.


    They thought that their sect��s revenge would likely be far away and not in the foreseeable future.


    Who could have expected that hope was near at hand!

 Chapter 2767 - Three Strikes Breaking the Mountain Gates!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    After over a hundred years, the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect back then already became totally different.


    Back then, the top brass of the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect died in battle. Thousands of disciples fled in all directions, and there were crumbling walls and ruins everywhere.


    But now, many large buildings rose straight from the ground.


    This place was grander compared to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect back then!


    This place was presently where the Pill Alliance��s Martial Secure Branch Alliance was at. But the buildings were magnificent, and powerhouses were as plentiful as clouds!


    A hundred years passed, the Pill Alliance concentrated the entire Rainclear Continent��s resources and nurtured batch after batch of top powerhouses.


    These few years, they gave birth to a large batch of Saint Sovereign Heavens, let alone talk about half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens and Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    In this Martial Secure Branch, just the half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were as many as more than ten!


    The significance of half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was different from grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven, that was the reserve power of Saint Sovereign Heaven that could break through at any time.


    After that battle, the Pill Alliance partitioned 15 big and small regions on the foundation of the Five Great Heavenly Regions, abolishing the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� division.


    And each region had a branch holding down the fort.


    The alliance chief of the branch were all Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    Furthermore, there were transmission arrays connecting each branch!


    The branch also established a unified transmission array between the various major heavenly sects as well as great nations.


    This way, the Pill Alliance strengthened their control over the Five Great Heavenly Regions greatly.


    The various major heavenly sects could not set off any waves at all.


    If there was really someone concocting a scheme, the Pill Alliance��s powerhouses could arrive right away.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was standing before the Martial Secure Branch��s mountain pass gates, his gaze looking toward the main peak with a reminiscing expression.


    ��Who is it to dare be here? Don��t you know what this place is? Hurry up and get lost; otherwise, you��ll get it!�� Two Jade Sovereign Heavens flew out and were about to chase Ye Yuan away.


    Ye Yuan did not get angry either, saying with a smile, ��I really don��t know. What is this place?��


    One of them said in a solemn voice, ��Ignorant fool, this place is the Pill Alliance��s Martial Secure Branch!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said smilingly, ��Then that��s right! The Pill Alliance should feel hurt after destroying this place, right?��


    The expressions of the two Jade Sovereign Heavens changed wildly, and they knew that he came to make trouble and was about to make a move.


    But how could Ye Yuan give them a chance?


    Only to see him throw a punch out lightly, the two people directly turned into a cloud of blood mist.


    Three years had already passed since Ye Yuan returned to the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    In these three years, Ye Yuan used true grade heavenly pills and forcefully raised his realm to grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    Now, he was only a step away from breaking through.


    His origin divinity already reached Saint Sovereign Heaven, and his physical body also reached the limit of Jade Sovereign Heaven. Breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was just something that would happen naturally without extra effort.


    But forcibly breaking through would cause the foundation to be unstable.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan needed to consolidate his realm first before breaking through and then only look for an opportunity to do so.


    Fighting was naturally the best method.


    Challenging the Pill Alliance��s branch could firstly get him accustomed to his cultivation realm. Secondly, it could feel out the Pill Alliance��s situation.


    Therefore, he came to the Martial Secure Branch all by himself.


    In the mountain gates, gate-guarding disciples saw this scene and could not help getting a shock, hurriedly sending out emergency communication out.


    A disciple cried out in alarm, ��Hurry up and activate the mountain protecting grand array! Hurry up and activate the mountain protecting grand array!��


    The mountain protecting grand array was also activated right away.


    They saw that Ye Yuan was extremely strong previously. That was why they notified Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses to come.


    Who knew that the other party was unreasonable and directly killed them with a punch!


    At this time, the mountain protecting grand array activated, giving off undulations that were sufficient to suppress and kill Saint Sovereign Heavens, calming them down slightly.


    After all, the other party was just a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    This mountain protecting grand array was laid down by the General Alliance��s grade five heavenly formation master, its power immense.


    Even if a Saint Sovereign Heaven trespassed, they would be seeking death too.


    Ye Yuan grinned. The Myriad Realms Mountain after the upgrade was already in his hand.


    He recited a spell, and then he uttered, ��Go.��


    The Myriad Realms Mountain directly turned into a giant mountain and squelched down towards the mountain protecting grand array.


    All of Martial Secure Branch��s powerhouses saw this giant mountain.


    Each one of them, their expressions changed wildly!


    ��It can block, right? It must be able to block!��


    ��The other party is merely a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven, how can he possibly breach the mountain protecting grand array?��


    ��But, this pressure is really so terrifying!��


    �� ��


    Crack!


    The Myriad Realms Mountain and the mountain protecting grand array came into contact, and a shattering sound was immediately heard.


    Immediately, the powerful mountain protecting grand array had countless fine cracks fissuring apart.


    When all the powerhouses saw this scene, each and every one of their expressions changed wildly.


    ��A little interesting! This Pill Alliance��s origin is mysterious. Indeed, they have some means! This grand array is not ordinary!��


    As Ye Yuan said, the divine essence in his body poured out crazily again.


    The Myriad Realms Mountain fell from the sky once more, suppressing down!


    Crack!


    The fine cracks on the mountain protecting grand array became even more.


    Collapse was only in the next moment.


    ��This �� This is a grade two grandmist treasure! How is this possible?��


    When Zhao Ding saw this scene, his complexion could not help turning deathly pale!


    This Martial Secure Branch��s alliance chief was precisely the main culprit who destroyed the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect and killed He Xuyan and Feng Xuanyi, Zhao Ding!


    In the branch, the others also had terrified expressions, and even started preparing to flee.


    The power of this Myriad Realms Mountain was seriously too strong!


    ��Break for me!��


    Ye Yuan bellowed, and the Myriad Realms Mountain crashed down with a loud bang for the third time!


    Boom!


    The mountain protecting grand array shattered in response, and the Myriad Realms Mountain fell directly on the front mountain.


    In an instant, wails of doom filled the lands.


    The Pill Alliance disciples staying in the front mountain who were crushed to death were beyond count!


    In reality, it was effortless for Ye Yuan to pass through the grand array.


    However, he intentionally created this commotion in order to make the Pill Alliance despair!


    Just like how they brought it to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect back then!


    Even if he expended a large amount of divine essence, he would not hesitate too!


    Grade two grandmist treasure, the power was unrivaled and terrifying. The consumption was naturally huge too.


    With Ye Yuan��s present strength, he could at most control it around five times.


    Once the five times was up, he would be powerless to control it anymore.


    However, these five times, even if it was a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven who was struck solidly, they would definitely die beyond doubt too!


    ��Where did this little saboteur come from, to dare act wildly at my Pill Alliance!�� Zhao Ding roared and arrived in an instant.


    When Ye Yuan saw the arrival, his brows could not help raising.


    He did not recognize Zhao Ding, but he would never forget this aura!


    ��So, it��s you! Huhu, it saved me the trouble of going to the Pill Alliance��s general alliance to find people! I didn��t expect that you actually stayed in the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect!�� Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Ding and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Zhao Ding��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��You know me?��


    He merely gave Ye Yuan a punch across the air back then and did not know Ye Yuan��s aura.


    And the Ye Yuan back then was merely an ant that could be easily crushed to death in his eyes, that was all.


    Even if a huge commotion was caused, he did not pay attention to it either.


    A genius who had not grown up was nothing at all!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��More than a hundred years ago, you gave me a punch across the air. Have you forgotten all about it now?��


    ��You��re Ye Yuan!��


    Zhao Ding��s shock was by no means insignificant!


    He did not know that Ye Yuan actually had a grade two grandmist treasure in his hands!


    That power just now, it was sufficient even to kill him too!


    Of course, power was power, but whether or not it could hit was another matter altogether.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses would not stand there foolishly for Ye Yuan to suppress and kill.


    However, he also knew that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity had already reached Saint Sovereign Heaven, and he could instantly kill same rank powerhouses!


    Not seeing him for a short hundred years, this guy actually already grew to such a level.


    Too terrifying!


    ��Huhu, it looks like I still have some fame, to actually be able to be remembered by a Saint Sovereign Heaven! Back then, you brought people to destroy my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect. Then today, I��ll destroy your Martial Secure Branch by myself! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; it isn��t too overboard, right?��


    Ye Yuan grinned, his figure instantly disappearing from where he originally was.


    Zhao Ding��s expression changed wildly. In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan had already entered the mountain pass gates!


    A massacre began!

 Chapter 2768 - Casual Demonstration of Power!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Damn it! This boy��s spatial rule has already attained sublimity. What a fast speed!��


    Zhao Ding, this middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, could only eat dust under Ye Yuan��s spatial rule too.


    He could not make Ye Yuan stay by himself!


    ��Quickly run! Split up and run!�� Zhao Ding shouted loudly, instantly spreading throughout the entire mountain pass gates.


    The expressions of those Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses changed greatly when they heard it. How could they have time to hesitate, instantly fleeing in all directions.


    Ye Yuan spread his divine sense and was able to capture the positions of all the powerhouses.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan caught up to an upper Jade Sovereign Heaven with a lunge and blew him up with one punch!


    ��You bastard, this exalt will kill you!�� Zhao Ding was raging. Catching up to Ye Yuan, it was one move.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of fighting with him at all. With a flash, he evaded him again.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan slammed a punch out and the ground fissured.


    A large swarm of Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum and Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum disciples were either instantly killed or injured.


    Zhao Ding��s two eyes were blood-red, and he was in a thunderous rage!


    Some of these disciples were killed or injured. He did not care.


    But, with how Ye Yuan was slaughtering people, even if it was the Pill Alliance, they could not afford it if the number was too high too!


    Failing to kill Ye Yuan incurred the General Alliance��s displeasure to begin with.


    If Ye Yuan exterminated the sect this time, then he really would not be able to lift his head anymore.


    But, he could not do anything about it.


    He could not catch up to Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan made use of spatial rule. His speed was extremely fast!


    Even if it was killing Jade Sovereign Heavens, it was merely a snap of his fingers too.


    By the time Zhao Ding caught up, Ye Yuan had gone hunting down the others again.


    This feeling of powerlessness nearly drove Zhao Ding crazy!


    The other party was merely a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    ��Huhu, the Pill Alliance��s disciples are really weak! Back then, when you killed your way up to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, did you have this kind of mentality too?�� Ye Yuan��s mocking voice came from the air.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan punched again, directly killing the half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven who was currently flying away.


    With his half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven physical body combined with chaos true spirit bloodline, killing a same rank half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven was too easy.


    In a short few hundred breaths, Ye Yuan slew five half-step Saint Sovereign Heavens, 20 over Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, and countless low-level martial artists!


    The entire high-end combat power of the Martial Secure Branch was eradicated by one-third all at once!


    Zhao Ding was at his heel howling away but could not do anything about Ye Yuan.


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! This exalt will definitely kill you today!�� Zhao Ding roared.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Are Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses all as feeble as you? Roaring here and there, there are only those few words. Come on. Kill me!��


    Right at this time, the void trembled.


    Two figures burst out of the sky!


    When Zhao Ding saw the arrivals, he could not help being wildly ecstatic and exclaimed, ��Wu Xingrui, Lin Zhongwei, you guys came just in time, help me delay this punk, I��ll kill him!��


    Right when Ye Yuan was suppressing the mountain protecting grand array with the Myriad Realms Mountain, Zhao Ding already asked all parties for help.


    At this time, these two finally arrived first!


    Wu Xingrui two people could not help being stunned when they saw the desolation all over the mountain and dead bodies everywhere.


    Martial Secure Branch was wiped out by a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven?


    One had to know that the Martial Secure Branch was one of the strongest branches among the 15 branches!


    Zhao Ding was even a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven mighty expert.


    Now, he actually failed to take down a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven!


    However, seeing Ye Yuan��s astonishing speed, they understood very quickly.


    ��Okay, leave it to us!�� Wu Xingrui two people exchanged a glance and immediately set off to intercept Ye Yuan.


    Zhao Ding laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, this time, I��ll see where you run to!��


    One person could only follow behind Ye Yuan and eat dust.


    But these three great Saint Sovereign Heavens could shrink the encirclement and reduce Ye Yuan��s escape routes.


    Coupled with Zhao Ding��s powerful strength, surrounding and killing Ye Yuan was not impossible!


    Reaching the level of Saint Sovereign Heaven, one comprehended heaven and earth Great Dao and shuttled through the void.


    The usefulness of spatial rule became significantly diminished.


    It was also that Ye Yuan��s spatial rule was extremely strong. If it was any other Jade Sovereign Heaven, Zhao Ding would have smacked them to death with one slap.


    Seeing three great Saint Sovereign Heavens besieging, Ye Yuan did not panic.


    He gave a cold laugh, his figure advancing instead of retreating and actually directly met with Lin Zhongwei!


    Zhao Ding��s expression changed wildly, and he shouted, ��He��s going to use an origin divinity attack! Be careful!��


    Origin divinity attacks had a certain range limit.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan got close to Lin Zhongwei precisely in order to directly one-shot him!


    However, Ye Yuan also did not expect that the Pill Alliance��s foundation was so deep, to have actually cultivated origin divinity defense mystic arts in advance.


    The origin divinity defense mystic art that Li Changsheng personally took out was not some common-ware. Otherwise, he would have long disseminated it.


    Getting the warning, Lin Zhongwei��s expression changed wildly, and he immediately activated the mystic art.


    ��True Soul Explosion!�� Ye Yuan roared angrily, origin divinity power bursting out.


    Buzz!


    Lin Zhongwei only felt his origin divinity burst, his entire person being stunned, standing there sluggishly.


    But he did not die!


    The origin divinity defense mystic art took effect!


    ��Damn it!�� Ye Yuan cursed in a low voice, passing right through the forest from Lin Zhongwei��s direction.


    Zhao Ding and Wu Xingrui were chasing him too closely. He had no way of acting.


    He could kill Lin Zhongwei with one sword, but he would also have to die at the hands of Zhao Jian two people.


    Middle Saint Sovereign Heaven was no joke!


    Although Ye Yuan was currently powerful, he still had not reached the level of killing middle Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    The gap between the realms was too big!


    But he really did not expect that the Pill Alliance actually had such a powerful origin divinity defense mystic art.


    One had to know, his origin divinity mystic art originated from the Divine Emergence!


    Even if the other party had a physical body, he could still one-shot those in the same rank.


    But Lin Zhongwei forcefully blocked it!


    Ye Yuan was clear in his heart that this must be the sequela left behind from his battle with Yan Jadetrue back then.


    This bunch of guys had likely all cultivated this secret technique.


    However, it was also that there were three people encircling and suppressing him this time.


    If there was only one person, it was not hard for him to kill the other party!


    Although this defense mystic art was strong, his offensive mystic art was stronger!


    Didn��t they see that Lin Zhongwei��s entire person was dazed after being bombarded?


    ��Hahaha, consider yourselves lucky! I won��t be playing with you all anymore this time! However, you guys have to guard your homes well. I��ll come at any time!�� Ye Yuan laughed loudly and left just like that.


    Zhao Ding two people could not catch up in time at all.


    If Ye Yuan wanted to kill people, they could naturally surround and kill.


    But, if Ye Yuan wholeheartedly wanted to escape, they could not stop him at all!


    Lin Zhongwei also finally regained his senses at this time, but his eyes were still blank.


    ��What �� happened just now?��


    Zhao Ding��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    Three Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, including a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven among them, besieged a grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven and actually still let the other party run away!


    ��This guy��s origin divinity attack is so strong! Lin Zhongwei activated his defense, and he was actually still stunned by him! If fighting one-on-one, he��ll kill you guys as easily as flipping his hand over!�� Zhao Ding said with a gloomy face.


    Wu Xingrui felt lingering fear too and said with a nod, ��This boy��s spatial rule is extremely strong, and his origin divinity attack is strange and unpredictable; really difficult to deal with!��


    Zhao Ding looked at the wrecked mountain pass gates and felt a headache.


    ��This boy probably won��t give up just like that! You guys hurry back and set up defenses. I��ll report back to the General Alliance now!��

 Chapter 2769 - Practice!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What did you say? Lin Zhongwei activated the Vajra Dharma Body and was actually still injured by his origin divinity attack?��


    At the Pill Alliance, Li Changsheng suddenly stood up after hearing Zhao Ding��s report.


    His eyes were full of shock.


    No one understood the prowess of the Vajra Dharma Body, this origin divinity defense mystic art, better than him.


    Even across the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this mystic art was sufficient to rank in the top ten too!


    But Ye Yuan��s origin divinity offensive mystic art was actually a level stronger!


    What did this indicate?


    This showed that the level of Ye Yuan��s origin divinity offensive mystic art was higher than the Vajra Dharma Body!


    In such a remote Rainclear Continent, where did such a formidable origin divinity mystic art come from?


    Originally, Li Changsheng did not care about Ye Yuan at all.


    But now, it was not up to him to not take him seriously anymore.


    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity attack was so formidable; it meant that he could disregard the disparity in realm and kill Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    The factions that he took great pains to nurture could crumble at any time!


    ��Not only that!��


    Zhao Ding said in a solemn voice, ��He also has a grade two grandmist treasure in his hands, smashing the Grand Chaos Heavenly Gate Formation with three hits! His fleshy body already reached half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven too. It��s just that his divine essence realm doesn��t seem to be stable enough yet. I feel that �� he might be using us as practice!��


    A Jade Sovereign Heaven using Saint Sovereign Heavens to practice?


    Li Changsheng felt a little headache!


    He thought that this boy was already dead back then. Who knew that not only did he not die, he became even more troublesome after returning?


    If he was just an ordinary alchemy path genius, then forget it.


    But Ye Yuan was not only heaven-defying in Alchemy Dao. His Martial Dao was also unbelievably monstrous.


    This kind of opponent, anyone would feel a big headache.


    After a long time, Li Changsheng snorted coldly and said, ��Using Saint Exalt Heavens to practice? Humph! Does he really think that this exalt is made of paper paste?��


    �� ��


    Half a month later at the Pill Alliance��s Bright Sun Branch.


    Deep in the night.


    Ye Yuan disposed of the mountain-guarding disciples silently, passed through the Grand Chaos Heavenly Gate Formation, and entered the mountain pass gates.


    Bright Sun Branch��s alliance chief was called Guo Huai, a middle-stage lower Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    His strength could not be underestimated!


    Through the previous fight, Ye Yuan discovered that in the same rank, the Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign Heavens were much stronger than Saint Exalt Waycloud them all!


    This made Ye Yuan become curious about the Pill Alliance��s origins.


    Mi Tian said that the origin divinity mystic art that Lin Zhongwei cultivated was called Vajra Dharma Body!


    This level of origin divinity mystic art, only the 33 Heavens�� top sect would have it.


    Although this defense mystic art was not as good as Divine Emergence, Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was too low. He really could not breach the other party��s origin divinity defenses.


    It was also that Lin Zhongwei was too weak. If it was Zhao Ding, the effect of the origin divinity attack would be negligible!


    This made Ye Yuan greatly surprised.


    The Rainclear Continent was isolated from the world. Even the alchemy development was lagging extremely behind; how could such a high level origin divinity mystic art appear?


    Connecting it to the Pill Alliance��s true grade heavenly pills again, Ye Yuan guessed that this Pill Alliance��s alliance chief, Li Changsheng, probably came from a top sect outside of the Rainclear Continent!


    If that was the case, then the faction behind the Pill Alliance was extremely terrifying.


    Of course, no matter how terrifying, it could not change Ye Yuan��s determination to seek vengeance too.


    The Pill Alliance must be destroyed!


    Ye Yuan displayed spatial rule all the way, fumbling towards the main hall.


    The transmission array was set up there.


    In the Martial Secure Branch, Ye Yuan��s goal was not to kill people but to figure out the location of the transmission array.


    Since the various major branches were built uniformly, the rough construction was naturally about the same.


    Especially transmission array this kind of important thing, it was definitely placed in the safest place.


    Where was the safest?


    It was naturally the main hall!


    This place had powerhouses plentiful like clouds. The alliance chief was here too.


    It was simply impossible for ordinary people to want to grope their way to the transmission array.


    But, by displaying spatial rule and borrowing the cover of the night, Ye Yuan fumbled his way in easily.


    Carefully passing through one restriction after another, Ye Yuan finally found where the transmission array was at.


    There were four Jade Sovereign Heavens waiting in full battle-array ahead, standing guard over the transmission array.


    Ye Yuan laughed lightly, and his origin divinity suddenly erupted.


    True Soul Explosion!


    Four Jade Sovereign Heavens virtually died at the same time.


    However, this eruption immediately triggered the restriction too.


    ��Who is it?! To dare trespass my Bright Sun Branch!�� Guo Huai roared, reaching in a blink of an eye.


    However, it was already too late!


    Boom!


    The Myriad Realms Mountain smashed straight towards the transmission array. The spatial passageway collapsed in an instant!


    Guo Huai rushed over, only to see a wrecked transmission array, and could not help turning greatly pale with fright.


    ��You��re Ye Yuan!�� Guo Huai looked at Ye Yuan with a look of fright.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Relax, I won��t use origin divinity attacks to kill you! Come, practice with me!��


    Guo Huai��s expression turned cold, and he said with a sneer, ��You want to borrow my hands to consolidate your realm? Huhu, do you really think that Saint Sovereign Heavens are roadside cabbages?��


    Heaven Breaking Divine Saber!


    His voice had yet to fade when Guo Huai suddenly launched a sneak attack, cleaving over with a saber!


    This saber was swift to the extreme!


    Furthermore, the saber in his hand was even a grandmist treasure!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan felt that all of his paths of retreat had been sealed off!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan felt a powerful pressure!


    This Guo Huai��s saber intent already reached the realm of Great Dao Transformation!


    Sure enough, the Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign Heavens all had extraordinary strength!


    However, this was also precisely what he requested.


    Right away, the Dragon Spring Sword emerged with a howl and directly greeted without retreating in the slightest.


    Jade Sovereign Heaven versus Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Boom!


    The terrifying undulation directly blew the entire main hall up.


    The berserk heaven and earth spiritual energy startled the entire Bright Sun Branch awake!


    ��Enemy attack!��


    ��Alliance Chief is fighting with the enemy!��


    ��Mn? Why is the opponent a Jade Sovereign Heaven? He �� He��s Ye Yuan!��


    ��So strong! This guy is just Jade Sovereign Heaven, and he��s actually fighting with Alliance Chief until neither can get the upper hand!��


    �� ��


    For a moment, Bright Sun Branch was shaken from top to bottom.


    They had never seen it before; a Jade Sovereign Heaven could actually fight fiercely with a Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    But today, they witnessed it!


    The Dragon Spring Sword turned into 108 flying swords at this moment, forming into an incomparably sharp sword formation.


    And Guo Huai did not show weakness in the slightest, his unrestrained blade dancing until it was airtight.


    The two people went back and forth and actually directly blew the main peak up!


    Places that they passed through, the Pill Alliance��s disciples were directly ground up by the force.


    They were unable to intervene in this level of battle at all.


    Guo Huai��s strength was extremely robust.


    It looked like they were meeting as equals, but in reality, he was suppressing Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s sword intent was suppressed by Guo Huai��s crazed saber intent until he could not catch his breath.


    It was also that Guo Huai was certain that he would die that caused him to erupt with an even greater combat power.


    He knew that once Ye Yuan used origin divinity attacks, he would only have one road: death.


    Rather than that, he might as well do everything in his power to suppress the opponent.


    What if the other party fumbled and got split into two by him?


    However, fighting with Ye Yuan, he was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    His Great Dao Transformation was just one law transformation. Furthermore, it stopped at the third form.


    But Ye Yuan��s three laws transformation was actually already cultivated to late-stage fourth form!


    It was also precisely by relying on this that Ye Yuan was fighting with him until neither could gain the upper hand.


    Guo Huai muse; once Ye Yuan broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, then how horrifying would his combat power be?

 Chapter 2770 - Sudden Idea!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    The more Guo Huai fought, the more alarmed he became.


    It was because he detected that Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was becoming more and more consolidated!


    This guy��s adaptability in the middle of battle was a little too formidable!


    Cultivation realm consolidating, Ye Yuan��s sword formation became more and more solid.


    Previously, Guo Huai��s saber intent could still suppress Ye Yuan.


    But now, the two of them were really evenly matched.


    In fact, Ye Yuan already had faint signs of breaking through and gradually turned around to suppress him!


    This rate of improvement was simply outrageous to hear!


    ��Huhu, you seem to be unable to suppress anymore!�� Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.


    The imposing aura on his body grew stronger and stronger. Guo Huai was already unable to resist anymore.


    Guo Huai��s expression changed, and he said in horror, ��You �� You��re going to break through?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��To you guys, maybe breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven is an extremely difficult thing. But to me, it��s merely something that will happen without effort. Now, I��m already at grand completion Jade Sovereign Heaven. Only this last step is missing!��


    Above the void, the wind and clouds were already starting to fluctuate.


    Signs of a breakthrough had already begun!


    The shock in Guo Huai��s heart could not be any greater.


    He had never seen before a genius who broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven so easily!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven was a massive hurdle.


    Even if one��s talent was exceptional, they also needed sufficient accumulations before they could break through.


    But Ye Yuan did not need it at all!


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly changed.


    A huge crisis surged in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    At the same time, Guo Huai��s face revealed a look of greater shock than just now.


    It was because he felt it too!


    ��This �� How is this possible? You��re actually �� going to transcend tribulation already?�� Guo Huai cried out involuntarily.


    Yes!


    In that instant just now, he felt the aura of Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation!


    Ye Yuan actually triggered the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation at the juncture of breakthrough!


    This was simply inconceivable!


    The condition for Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulations to trigger was normally all calculated in years.


    Some people could only trigger it once every ten thousand years. But others could trigger it once every few thousand years.


    And the shorter the time indicated the greater the potential of this person!


    Saint Sovereign, it had never been heard of that someone triggered the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation when breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Guo Huai felt like he was almost suffocating.


    Just what kind of a monster did the Pill Alliance provoke!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure swayed, and he stopped the fight.


    Guo Huai looked toward Ye Yuan, fearful to the extreme.


    This guy was simply a human-shaped monster!


    Ye Yuan, who withdrew from battle, his aura suddenly stopped skyrocketing, as if being forcibly nipped in the bud.


    Guo Huai��s pupils constricted, and he said with a cold smile, ��Ye Yuan, you��re afraid! Triggering the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation when breaking through is unprecedented! Your Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation must be very horrifying!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Guo Huai and said with a smile, ��You��re thinking too much! I suppressed my realm, not because I��m scared of the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation. It��s just that I feel that this isn��t the place to break through.��


    Guo Huai laughed loudly and said, ��It��s useless! Your talent has evoked Heaven��s jealousy. No matter where you break through, Heavenly Dao will kill you!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Guo Huai, you brought people to destroy Shangyu Heavenly Sect back then! Slaughtering more than 5000 people in Shangyu Heavenly Sect, your sins are heinous! Originally, I was planning on directly killing you. But now, I��ve changed my mind!��


    Guo Huai��s expression changed, secretly thinking that things were bad, but only to feel his head buzz, and he was dazed.


    ��ARGH!!��


    When Guo Huai woke up, he could not help crying out in pain.


    Ye Yuan already crippled his cultivation!


    Back then, Ye Yuan saved many Martial Secure Heavenly Sect disciples with the Hundred Poison Formation, letting many disciples escape with their lives.


    But Shangyu Heavenly Sect did not have Ye Yuan.


    They got surrounded by the Pill Alliance, and their entire sect was massacred, blood flowing like rivers!


    And the main culprit was Guo Huai!


    Ye Yuan naturally would not select targets at random.


    If he wanted to destroy the branches, he would also find the people who took action back then.


    Firstly, it was a probe.


    Secondly, it was also to avenge the five heavenly sects.


    The battle back then was really incomparably tragic.


    No, it should be that it was a one-sided massacre!


    Guo Huai was one of the executioners!


    Guo Huai��s eyes turned bloodshot from anger, his eyes full of resentment as he let out a wild laugh and said, ��Ye Yuan, your talent is too terrifying, evoking Heaven��s jealousy! You��ll definitely die! Even if you torment me, it won��t change this fact too!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Guo Huai and said with a smile, ��Is that so? Then I��ll give you a chance and let you see me being killed by the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation! However �� if I go to the Pill Alliance and lure a bunch of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, and then I break through to call down the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation, don��t you think that it will be very interesting?��


    When Guo Huai heard that, his entire body could not help trembling!


    This guy was insane!


    Ye Yuan��s Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation would definitely be extremely terrifying.


    If he broke through in the crowd, it would be equivalent to a moving bomb!


    The consequences �� were too ghastly to contemplate!


    ��You �� You lunatic! Your Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation, if you prepare adequately, there��s still a glimmer of hope! But, if you really do this, you��ll definitely die without a doubt!�� Guo Huai said fearfully.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard that and said, ��Whether or not I die, you��ll know when the time comes!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan carried the dead-dog-like Guo Huai and left the Bright Sun Branch.


    �� ��


    Very soon, a piece of news that shocked the Five Great Heavenly Regions spread.


    The Heaven��s chosen of his generation, Ye Yuan, destroyed the Bright Sun Branch with his power alone!


    Bright Sun Branch��s Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, all were exterminated!


    Bright Sun Branch��s alliance chief, Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse Guo Huai, was captured alive by Ye Yuan, his whereabouts unknown!


    What was even more shocking was that Ye Yuan was actually not a Saint Sovereign Heaven yet!


    ��This news is fake, right? How can a Jade Sovereign Heaven possibly defeat Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses?��


    ��Yeah, this is also exaggerated too ridiculously! If you say that Ye Yuan was powerful and escaped from Guo Huai��s hands, I still believe it. But, to say that Ye Yuan captured Guo Huai alive, I don��t believe it even if you beat me to death!��


    ��What do you know? In the great battle that day, there were thousands of Pill Alliance disciples watching the fight! Ye Yuan killed all of the Jade Sovereign Heaven powerhouses but gave the other disciples a way out! Everyone present can testify!��


    ��There��s still this matter? But �� But how is this possible?��


    �� ��


    For some time, the people were all talking about this.


    Especially the various major heavenly sects that were being ruled by the Pill Alliance, their thoughts started stirring at this time.


    Finally, someone started provoking the Pill Alliance!


    These few years, they lived like dogs. There was finally someone who started to resist!


    Furthermore, the resistance was even so sharp!


    One had to know, destroying a branch, this was absolutely a tremendous blow to the Pill Alliance!


    Especially a Saint Sovereign Heaven, this was not some cabbage!


    Each Saint Sovereign Heaven was a strategic power.


    One death had a great impact on the battle situation!


    In a secret place in True Yang Heavenly Domain, a group of Saint Sovereign Heavens was gathered here.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� Invigorating! Invigorating! That overweeningly arrogant Pill Alliance finally has someone to take care of them! Younger Brother Ye is quiet when not making a move, but the moment he took action, it amazed the world with a single brilliant feat!��


    Saint Exalt Pill Alliance said, ��Guo Huai isn��t some random Tom, Dick, or Harry! His strength can rank in the top three among the Pill Alliance��s lower Saint Sovereign Heavens! Younger Brother Ye can actually capture him alive with his power alone!��


    But Saint Exalt Skyfortune frowned and said, ��But why didn��t Younger Brother Ye kill him immediately? Also, he hasn��t come to inform us until now. Could it be that �� he��s planning on destroying the Pill Alliance by himself?��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun shook his head and said, ��I heard that Younger Brother Ye raided Bright Sun Branch in order to consolidate his realm! It looks like he��s planning to break through to Saint Sovereign Heaven first! However, with his combat power, after breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, he might not be unable to fight with that Li Changsheng! But I��m very curious. What on earth is he planning to do by capturing Guo Huai alive? I keep feeling that �� he��s going to do something unexpected!��

 Chapter 2771 - Fighting Against Zhao Ding!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Is Guo Huai a pig? A living person actually fumbled until he reached the transmission array, and Guo Huai didn��t even discover him!�� Within the Pill Alliance��s main hall, Li Changsheng appeared somewhat exasperated.


    With the transmission array being destroyed, they were unable to support in time no matter how fast they were.


    By the time they rushed to Bright Sun Branch, there was only a dilapidated mountain pass gate left there already.


    Bright Sun Branch being leveled to the ground, this was not just the loss of a branch.


    The greater significance was affecting the rule of the Pill Alliance!


    It was not that the Five Great Heavenly Regions did not have Saint Sovereign Heavens. It was just that these people were all deterred by the Pill Alliance��s might and did not dare to take any action. That was all.


    But now, Ye Yuan��s face-slapping action already shook the foundation of the Pill Alliance��s rule.


    Once danger erupted all-round, it would not be easy to control!


    Below, a group of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were silent like cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.


    Each and every one of them was extremely shocked too!


    No one expected that Ye Yuan could actually fumble his way to where the transmission array was located without a sound.


    One had to know, in this process, Ye Yuan had to face the mountain protecting grand array, had to face countless patrolling powerhouses, and even had to face many trigger restrictions.


    Any slip-ups and it would be impossible to accomplish.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did it!


    ��Search for me! Even if you dig three feet below the ground, you also have to find this punk for this chief!�� Li Changsheng said with a cold yell.


    ��This �� General Alliance, that brat is all alone by himself and also proficient in spatial rule, he �� can��t be found at all! After that boy destroyed the Bright Sun Branch, he completely vanished. We��ve already sent people out, but there isn��t any news at all!��


    The one who spoke was the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse that was in charge of the Pill Alliance��s information gathering. He also had a massive headache now.


    Ye Yuan destroyed the Bright Sun Branch all alone by himself. Randomly burrowing into some mountain or forest, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for them.


    Unless Ye Yuan willingly exposed himself, otherwise, they had no way of taking action at all.


    Li Changsheng��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Then you all stay in the transmission array passageways for me! As long as that punk shows his face, everyone immediately provides assistance! If there are any more accidents, you all will be held accountable!��


    �� ��


    A month later, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared in the sky above Martial Secure Branch again.


    He was even carrying the dead-dog-like Guo Huai in his hand.


    In this one month��s time, Ye Yuan had been preparing to transcend the tribulation!


    He had confidence in transcending the tribulation, but he must prepare amply.


    ��H-Hahaha, little bastard, see if you still don��t die this time!�� Guo Huai had blood in his mouth as he laughed miserably.


    In this one month, he had been by Ye Yuan��s side. That sort of vague sense of danger made him close to despair.


    Even he, this outsider, felt the horrifying crisis.


    It went even more without saying for Ye Yuan himself.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan ignored him and directly threw Guo Huai to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.


    He even conveniently sealed his throat, making him unable to speak.


    ��Zhao Ding, come out and prepare to die!�� Ye Yuan shouted loudly.


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Ding appeared in front of Ye Yuan right away.


    Seeing Guo Huai��s miserable appearance, the corners of Zhao Ding��s mouth could not help twitching slightly.


    Guo Huai was very strong. Breaking through to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future was virtually a sure bet.


    Now, he was actually directly crippled.


    ��Ye Yuan, you actually still dare to come!�� Zhao Ding said in a solemn voice.


    ��Is there anywhere in this world that I don��t dare to go to? Since I came once, I naturally dare to come a second time. What can you do to me?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Zhao Ding smiled coldly and said, ��In front of this exalt, you can only cover your head and scurry away! You��re merely a gutless coward!��


    Ye Yuan was goading Ye Yuan, buying time.


    During this period of time, all the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had been guarding beside the transmission arrays.


    When he came out just now, he had already sent the news out.


    Right now, all of the Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were currently gathering over here.


    As long as Ye Yuan was surrounded, even if he had exceedingly formidable abilities, he would definitely die beyond a doubt too!


    Ye Yuan seemed to be unable to stand the goading and said with a cold smile, ��Such a clumsy goading technique, do you think that I can��t tell? Huhu, today, I��ll fight with you! So what if middle Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    Zhao Ding laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Brat, you dare to face this exalt head-on?! This exalt will kill you in ten exchanges!��


    Facing Ye Yuan, he did not dare to shoot his mouth off either.


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was too fierce. Even in a frontal battle, he could forget about killing Ye Yuan in a few moves.


    To be able to make Zhao Ding say such words, the Martial Secure Branch also exclaimed in amazement at Ye Yuan��s strength.


    One had to know, Jade Sovereign heavens were like ants in front of a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    However, seeing that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of escaping, Zhao Ding was overjoyed in his heart.


    This brat really had no idea of death or danger!


    There was no need to have too many. As long as five Saint Sovereign Heavens arrived, even if Ye Yuan had spatial rule, he could forget about escaping too!


    Zhao Ding was secretly rejoicing, but Guo Huai in front of the mountain pass gates was struggling endlessly.


    He wanted to inform Zhao Ding to hurry up and retreat. But he struggled until his face turned completely red, and he could not speak either.


    At present, he was already a cripple. No one from the Pill Alliance came to acknowledge him. He could only be anxious but unable to do anything.


    ��Huhu, is that so? Zhao Ding, you and I have a deep enmity like the sea. Today, I��ll kill you in front of Martial Secure��s mountain pass gates to pay homage to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s dead souls that had passed on!��


    Ye Yuan had his palm out. The Myriad Realms Mountain already appeared in his hand.


    Feeling the powerful undulations coming off of the Myriad Realms Mountain, Zhao Ding revealed a solemn expression too.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, arriving not far from Zhao Ding with a flash, his movement technique even faster than thought!


    ��True Soul Explosion!��


    Ye Yuan roared loudly, casting an origin divinity attack straight away.


    Buzz!


    Zhao Ding was on guard long ago and already activated the Vajra Dharma Body.


    But, even so, his origin divinity still felt the explosion-like attack, his entire person coming to a standstill for an instant.


    What Ye Yuan wanted was this instant!


    At this time, the Myriad Realms Mountain in his hand had already accumulated momentum and was awaiting release.


    At the first moment he executed the origin divinity attack, it smashed toward Zhao Ding.


    After a momentary lapse, an intense sense of crisis welled up in Zhao Ding��s heart.


    Virtually instinctively, he escaped into the void.


    Boom!


    The place where Zhao Ding was standing, the void exploded!


    The terrifying undulation shocked the Martial Secure Branch��s disciples until they fell flat on their backs.


    And at the same time, Ye Yuan��s expression changed greatly too, an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind.


    He immediately escaped into the void without turning his head back.


    Bang!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing exploded with a loud bang!


    Ye Yuan tasted sweetness in his throat and immediately spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, already sustaining serious injuries.


    A jade ornament emitted a faint light in Zhao Ding��s hand.


    This jade ornament was precisely a grandmist treasure!


    Zhao Ding had long already hidden the jade ornament in the void in order to plot against Ye Yuan.


    After Ye Yuan came over, he suddenly launched a sneak attack.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan��s reaction was extremely fast. Otherwise, he would have directly kicked the bucket with this!


    However, Zhao Ding felt awful too.


    His aura was very disorderly. Clearly, he had suffered light injuries too.


    Even if he evaded the Myriad Realms Mountain��s blow, the power of a grade two grandmist treasure transmitted into the void too, injuring Zhao Ding.


    It was just that the two people��s realms were different. Their defensive strength naturally had a great disparity too.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, the two people exchanged a blow.


    They were evenly matched!

 Chapter 2772 - Shouting Himself Hoarse!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    At virtually the same time, the two people stuffed a heavenly pill into their mouths.


    The two people��s injuries were rapidly recovering.


    The Pill Alliance never lacked heavenly pills.


    After Ye Yuan ended the Bright Sun Branch, he seized a large batch of heavenly medicines and heavenly pills too.


    At this time, his wallet plumped up again.


    ��Middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, merely thus!�� Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Ding, smilingly coldly without ceasing.


    Zhao Ding��s expression was ugly as he said with a cold snort, ��Merely borrowing an external force, that��s all! What��s there to be smug about? The power of a grade two grandmist treasure is great, but how many times can you deploy it?��


    He was unyielding verbally, but Zhao Ding��s back broke out into a cold sweat.


    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity attack was too strong. Even he had a momentary lapse too.


    Just now, the combined attack of Ye Yuan��s spatial rule, origin divinity attack, plus Myriad Realms Mountain, was swift until it made people feel asphyxiated.


    If he was slower by half a beat, he would have been crushed into minced meat by the Myriad Realms Mountain currently.


    ��Wouldn��t you know if you try it out for yourself? Today, either you die or I perish!��


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, his figure moving out again.


    Boom!


    The void trembled again!


    The terrifying aftershock directly shocked everyone. Some low-level disciples could already detect it even from afar. There were three Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse who had already arrived but remained in hiding. They did not show themselves.


    He smiled coldly in his heart but was unmoved on the surface, dealing with Zhao Ding.


    Ye Yuan deployed the Myriad Realms Mountain. His energy was being rapidly consumed.


    But before coming, he had already prepared enough heavenly pills.


    Swallowing true grade heavenly pills crazily in the midst of fierce fighting to make up for the fierce consumption of divine essence.


    Seeing Ye Yuan eating so many true grade heavenly pills like candy, Zhao Ding cursed heavily in his heart too.


    Too freaking extravagant!


    Even in the Pill Alliance, grade four true grade heavenly pills were extremely precious things too.


    In the Pill Alliance, there were really not many who could refine grade four true grade heavenly pills. Furthermore, the success rate was extremely low.


    Especially this kind of consumable-type true grade heavenly pill, the distribution was extremely strict.


    Nobody could utilize grade four heavenly pills as efficiently as Ye Yuan, and there was naturally no one who was so extravagant too.


    As for Zhao Ding, he was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses himself and needed to consume grade five heavenly pills.


    True grade was a luxury.


    Even Alliance Chief Li Changsheng could not refine it either.


    Grade five heavenly pills were naturally even more precious because of heavenly medicines.


    Even Zhao Ding did not have many grade five heavenly pills on him either.


    The two people exchanged more than ten rounds in a row, shocking until the entire Martial Secure Branch was trembling incessantly.


    Ye Yuan was dyed in blood from head to toe. Zhao Ding was no better as well.


    The power of the Myriad Realms Mountain was too strong. Even if it was being swept by the aftershock, his injuries were not light either.


    He was not as extravagant as Ye Yuan, eating true grade heavenly pills like candy. He could only rely on himself to forcefully resist.


    And unknowingly, 13 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses already gathered in the Martial Secure Branch!


    Apart from the Bright Sun Branch, the other branches�� alliance chiefs have all arrived.


    Each and every one of them was also dumbstruck with shock when they saw these two people��s battle.


    ��This guy �� if he were to keep fighting like this, he could exhaust Zhao Ding to death!��


    ��Are true grade heavenly pills so worthless?��


    ��It was indeed an incomparably correct decision for the General Alliance to want to destroy the Pill Pavilion back then! Otherwise, now, our Pill Alliance likely won��t have the day where we can hold our heads up anymore! This kid has likely already surpassed the General Alliance in Alchemy Dao!��


    �� ��


    These Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign heavens, there were many who were grade five heavenly alchemists.


    They knew that grade four heavenly medicines were not cabbages.


    Even if it was these conventional heavenly medicines, they were very precious too.


    The fact that Ye Yuan could take out so many true grade heavenly pills, it could only mean that his utilization of heavenly medicines was extremely high!


    They all, these grade five heavenly alchemists, and even the Alliance Head Li Changsheng, had to bow down in defeat in front of Ye Yuan too.


    While talking, 13 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses already completed the encirclement against Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    The two people exchanged more than ten moves frenziedly. Zhao Ding finally could not hold on anymore and spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly.


    The current Zhao Ding had a disorderly aura, in a state of disarray.


    Ye Yuan swallowed a few heavenly pills, his aura recovering rapidly. Looking at Zhao Ding from a distance, he sneered and said, ��It��s been 15 moves. You failed to kill me but got seriously injured by me instead! Huhu, where has your boasting previously gone to now?��


    Zhao Ding suddenly let out a wild laugh and said, ��Brat, you��re very strong! But do you think that this exalt would have a fair fight with you? All come on out!��


    The void trembled, more than ten powerful auras stepped out into the air.


    After these people appeared, their auras locked onto Ye Yuan from afar.


    As long as Ye Yuan moved, they would deal a fatal blow!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned sharp, discovering an acquaintance in the crowd.


    Huangfu Cloudthink!


    Back then, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Sect Master Feng Xuanyi died precisely at his hands.


    He did not expect that after not seeing for a hundred years, Huangfu Cloudthink already broke through to the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven too!


    But thinking about it, there was nothing strange too.


    What the Pill Alliance lacked the least was heavenly pills.


    A half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was all too normal.


    Feeling Ye Yuan��s gaze, Huangfu Cloudthink smiled and said, ��Long time no see, Ye Yuan! I really didn��t expect that after not seeing for a hundred years, you actually already possess the strength to kill Saint Sovereign Heavens! However, it��s useless! The Pill Alliance��s strength is beyond your imagination! You��re presently all alone by yourself without any backing. Just based on a bit of hot-blooded courage, you still want to seek revenge?��


    Clearly, Huangfu Cloudthink felt that he had already cornered Ye Yuan and did not care about Ye Yuan��s gaze at all.


    It was just that he did not notice that amidst the dust in the distant mountain, a figure was currently burning with anxiety.


    He wanted to speak but could not.


    These dozen over Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had already fallen into a huge crisis without knowing!


    Ye Yuan looked at Huangfu Cloudthink and said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, you came just in time! Today, I can round you all up in one fell swoop!��


    Huangfu Cloudthink shook his head and could not help laughing as he said, ��Ye Yuan, you��re very strong; you��re also extremely talented! But you��re too eager for revenge! If you cultivated to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, you might have hope for revenge. But now, facing so many Saint Sovereign Heavens, you dare to say to round us all up in one fell swoop too?��


    One of the alliance chiefs said disdainfully, ��Huhu, a fool who overestimates his own ability! A puny little Jade Sovereign Heaven really thinks that by relying on a grade two grandmist treasure, he��ll be able to get revenge?��


    ��Alliance Head is on his way too. His methods are simply beyond your imagination! Alliance Head already said to leave you to him! You, prepare to bear Alliance Head��s wrath!��


    �� ��


    In the eyes of these alliance chiefs, Ye Yuan��s words were simply laughably childish.


    A measly little Jade Sovereign Heaven actually dared to threaten so many Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    So what if he possessed a grade two grandmist treasure?


    So what if he could jump realms and battle?


    The Pill Alliance did not have just one Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Let alone that there was also an unfathomable Li Changsheng!


    ��Hahaha ����


    Ye Yuan looked at the group of Saint Sovereign Heavens that was posturing and could not resist bursting into laughter.


    ��On your deathbed and you still can laugh!�� Zhao Ding snickered and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Deathbed? Haha, yeah, you guys are on your deathbeds, and you��re actually still in the mood to posture here. I really can��t refrain from finding it hilarious! Guo Huai, you come and tell them. Are they facing imminent death or not?��


    As he said, Ye Yuan fired out a stream of divine essence, and Guo Huai��s seal was immediately released.


    The Saint Sovereign Heavens present had baffled faces.


    They really did not notice Guo Huai.


    After Guo Huai was released from the seal, he shouted with all his strength, ��RUN! QUICKLY RUN! HE��S GOING TO TRANSCEND SAINT SOVEREIGN DAO TRIBULATION ����

 Chapter 2773 - Nine Laws Dao Tribulation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Run?!


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens had baffled faces.


    Transcend Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation?


    This guy wouldn��t have been beaten silly by Ye Yuan, right?


    What Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation would a Jade Sovereign Heaven be transcending?


    ��Guo Huai, you go and take a rest. Your head is beaten until it��s spoiled!��


    ��Ye Yuan, he said that you��re going to transcend Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation. Why don��t you transcend it and broaden our horizons?��


    ��Hahaha ����


    The Saint Sovereign Heavens laughed loudly without ceasing.


    They could tell that Guo Huai had already completely become a cripple and could not be saved anymore.


    If it were not for this, they also would not have failed to discover Guo Huai until now.


    There was naturally no one who dared to make fun of a powerhouse.


    But now �� no one would care about him.


    When Guo Huai heard everyone��s derision, he struggled endlessly on the ground in a panic and roared wildly, ��He��s really going to transcend tribulation! When he fought with me, he was going to break through already! The reason why he wanted to suppress his realm is to lure you guys out and use the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation to perish together with you all! Fools! Why haven��t you hurry up and run!��


    Hearing Guo Huai��s roar at the top of his voice, some people started frowning.


    Those present were not fools. Although what Guo Huai said was inconceivable, it still aroused some people��s vigilance.


    Previously, they all felt that Ye Yuan was too impulsive, coming to seek revenge after acquiring a precious treasure.


    But thinking carefully now, something did not seem to be quite right.


    However, Ye Yuan did not let them hesitate for too long.


    ��Huhu, since you guys want to broaden your horizons, then �� I��ll satisfy you all!��


    At this moment, he completely released his realm suppression. A horrifying aura shot straight to the sky!


    Auspicious omens orbited above the void!


    But at the same time, tribulation clouds that made people��s hearts palpitate soon condensed.


    Crisis!


    Huge crisis!


    The Dao tribulation aura coming from above the sky made their expressions change abruptly.


    The Saint Sovereign Heavens present, apart from a minority, had virtually all transcended Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulations before.


    But no one among them had ever brought down such a terrifying Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation!


    Lightning was hidden above the clouds. They already felt asphyxiated!


    ��This �� This is really the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation! How is this possible!��


    ��He has incurred Heaven��s envy! This Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation will definitely be earth-shattering!��


    ��What a terrifying aura, I feel like �� I almost can��t breathe anymore!��


    ��Just how many law tribulations did this guy call down ����


    �� ��


    In reality, Ye Yuan was also greatly surprised by the power of this Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    The terrifying aura coming from above the ninth heaven also shocked him quite a bit.


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    An illusion true dragon was traversing back and forth above the ninth heaven.


    The blood in Ye Yuan��s body all started boiling at this moment.


    In virtually an instant, his fleshy body directly crossed this major hurdle and reached the realm of Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    While his divine essence also skyrocketed at this moment!


    Ye Yuan��s inner world seemed to have fused into one with heaven and earth at this moment!


    One Great Dao rule after another was displayed in front of Ye Yuan.


    Breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was a sublimation and also a great lucky chance!


    At the time of the breakthrough, it was an opportunity to come into contact with Heavenly Dao at close range.


    This feeling was indescribably mysterious.


    Ye Yuan felt that his soul had completely sublimated!


    What it brought was a surge in strength!


    ��Damn it! How can this boy be so monstrous! Bringing down Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation when breaking through? It��s unheard of since ancient times! Quickly run! What are you still in a daze for?�� Zhao Ding bellowed, his figure suddenly disappearing from where he was!


    Only then did the others recover from the shock, feeling a chill run down their spines.


    Without the slightest hesitation, everyone fled swiftly at the same time!


    ��Only know how to run now? Too late!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan take a step out, catching up to Huangfu Cloudthink virtually in an instant!


    Huangfu Cloudthink��s head went buzzing, and he was completely dazed!


    Freaking hell, don��t chase me!


    He wished to give himself two tight slaps now.


    Why did he provoke Ye Yuan earlier? Why did he have to attract attention among so many Saint Sovereign Heavens?


    If he had kept a lower profile, maybe Ye Yuan would not have chosen him!


    But it was too late to say anything now!


    It was because the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation had already descended!


    Crack!


    A bolt of lightning cut across the sky as if splitting the sky into two!


    Ye Yuan felt his scalp tingle too. Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the Myriad Realms Mountain.


    Boom!


    Lightning fell, an indiscriminate attack!


    The attack range of this lightning tribulation was extremely broad. Those Saint Sovereign Heavens had not escaped very far and were directly squeezed out of the void by the oppression of Great Dao.


    ��Puu, puu, puu ����


    Even if they were not in the center of the storm, the group of Saint Sovereign Heavens also felt their mind trembling heavily, fresh blood spurting wildly from their mouths.


    The Huangfu Cloudthink, who was nearest to Ye Yuan, was miserable.


    He did not enter Saint Sovereign Heaven for a long time to begin with. His strength was not considered very strong in Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    This strike directly knocked him down from midair.


    Only to see fresh blood rushing out of his mouth wildly like a waterfall.


    While on this side, the faint earth-yellow halo emitted from the Myriad Realms Mountain wrapped Ye Yuan up.


    Boom!


    Lightning fell. Ye Yuan was directly slammed underground like a cannonball.


    Ye Yuan felt his eyes spin, his entire person feeling like his skeletal frame had fallen apart.


    The power of this Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation was a little too strong.


    However, he had the protection of the Myriad Realms Mountain and was much better than Huangfu Cloudthink.


    Huangfu Cloudthink did not die, but his entire person was curled up on the ground, twitching incessantly.


    With one strike, he only had half his life remaining.


    Zhao Ding took a look at the void in astonishment and then looked at Ye Yuan, muttering under his breath, ��N-Nine laws Dao tribulation!��


    ��Nine laws Dao tribulation! It��s the legendary nine laws Dao tribulation! F*cking hell, too terrifying!��


    ��This boy actually brought down nine laws Dao tribulation!��


    ��Quickly run! If you��re caught up to by this brat, you��ll be dead for sure!��


    �� ��


    In Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, Mi Tian was cursing Ye Yuan heavily too, saying, ��You scoundrelly brat, you��re messing around too much! Who transcends a nine laws Dao tribulation like you? Do you not want your freaking life anymore?��


    Mi Tian suddenly felt that this boy might just torment him to death one day.


    His dream of returning home likely could not come true anymore!


    ��That �� What��s nine law Dao tribulation?�� Ye Yuan said blankly.


    He really had no concept of Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    Mi Tian snorted coldly and said, ��That lightning tribulation just now, how many kinds of rule undulations did you feel?��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��It seems to be �� nine!��


    The reason why the lightning tribulation earlier was terrifying was that it fused nine kinds of power of rules!


    Ye Yuan wielded the Myriad Realms Mountain. Logically speaking, transcending the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation was like playing.


    But now, he was seriously wounded with one strike.


    Clearly, this Dao tribulation was extraordinary!


    ��The first time ordinary Saint Sovereign Heavens transcend their tribulation, what they bring down is all one law Dao tribulations! Some stronger ones will bring down two laws Dao tribulations. Even in a major sect like the Labyrinth Divine Palace, the top Saint Sovereign Heaven disciples can at most only bring down seven laws or eight laws Dao tribulations too. You actually �� f*cking brought down nine laws! Nine is the extreme of numbers, each Saint Sovereign Dao tribulation, the power of rules that descends won��t exceed this number. But, those who reach this number are all monsters among monsters, prodigies that even Heavenly Dao is jealous of! You scoundrel, you really incurred Heaven��s envy!��


    Mi Tian gnashed his teeth hatefully and could not refrain from swearing.


    He knew that this boy was monstrous but did not think that he was monstrous until such a degree!

 Chapter 2774 - Bringing Disaster to Fishes in the Moat

    When he got the news, Li Changsheng was currently cultivating.


    He sneered coldly in response to this.


    Young people really can��t retain composure!


    Having a bit of strength and he��s already thinking of taking revenge.


    Little did he imagine what kind of character he, Li Changsheng, was!


    To Li Changsheng, he looked down on the Martial Dao powerhouses on this continent.


    This place was merely a wilderness land of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    The people here were backward in their Martial Dao, and their Alchemy Dao withered.


    He came here to save this world!


    Therefore, he wanted to be this continent��s king and be worshiped by thousands!


    A ��jumping clown�� like Ye Yuan, he did not take him seriously at all.


    He, Li Changsheng, came from one of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s seven great Hegemon level holy land, the Extreme Medicine Sect, his alchemy path strength reaching the acme of perfection, and his trump cards being numerous.


    A mere ascender, how could he really treat Ye Yuan seriously?


    Li Changsheng��s figure flashed, and he vanished from where he was.


    In the next second, he entered the transmission array.


    �� ��


    Boom!


    Li Changsheng had just come out of the transmission array and only felt a blur before his eyes. Two figures rushed over.


    A horrifying to the extreme heavenly lightning suddenly descended.


    Li Changsheng��s hair stood on its end, a great sense of danger welling up in his heart.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Li Changsheng shuttled through the void immediately.


    But he discovered that the void seemed to be frozen at this moment!


    He was unable to teleport!


    However, he still displayed his movement technique and left where he was at the fastest speed.


    Boom!


    The transmission array exploded with a loud bang!


    Li Changsheng only felt his entire body turn numb. Tasting sweetness at the back of his throat, a mouth of blood spurted out.


    F*cking hell, what happened?


    This exalt came to kill people!


    Before I even saw the person, I got injured by an explosion!


    Mn?


    Hang on! This seems to be �� a Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation?


    It was even a �� nine laws Dao tribulation!


    Li Changsheng shuddered, thinking to himself which great deity was overcoming his tribulation here?


    One had to know, he, this grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse, had only transcended eight laws Dao tribulation until now!


    Li Changsheng had overcome a total of four Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulations. Each time, it would increase by two laws.


    It was not that there were no nine laws Dao tribulation. But those who could transcend nine laws Dao tribulations, they were all super powerhouses among their peers!


    Three laws each time, nine laws on the third time!


    Those who could transcend nine laws Dao tribulation were all the most outstanding figures in Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    When did such a powerhouse appear in the Rainclear Continent, he actually did not know?


    The nine laws Dao tribulation that existed in the legends referred to the first Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation.


    But Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses generally overcame more than one tribulation.


    Over a few accumulations, nine laws were still achievable.


    There was no time to think too much. Li Changsheng immediately spread his divine sense out and observed the situation.


    The moment he looked, he could not help drawing a cold breath.


    All over the hills and valleys, it was a stretch of scorched earth!


    A figure chased after a group of Saint Sovereign Heavens, scurrying everywhere.


    The scene was chaotic to the extreme.


    Of the 14 Saint Sovereign Heavens, there were only nine left now.


    These nine were also lingering on with one last breath and could not live for long!


    ��That��s �� Ye Yuan? I-It��s him who��s transcending the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation? Isn��t he Jade Sovereign Heaven? Why did he transcend Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation? Could it be �� he brought down the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation the moment he broke through?��


    It was fine if he did not think, but the moment he thought about it, he gave himself a fright!


    Bringing down nine laws Dao tribulation when breaking through, what kind of monster was this?


    Maybe the top-most level monsters among the seven great holy lands had the qualifications to draw down nine laws Dao tribulation!


    Could it be that this boy already reached the level of the seven great holy lands�� apex monsters?


    This �� How was this possible?


    As a former Hegemon level holy land��s disciple, Li Changsheng knew all too well how terrifying such a monster was!


    He had always had a high and mighty attitude towards this continent��s martial artists.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually surpassed him?


    No, using surpass to describe was not appropriate.


    If Ye Yuan was the falcon cleaving the sky, then he was a puddle of mud on the ground!


    Such an existence, as long as they did not die, they were very likely to step into Hegemon Realm in the future!


    ��Mn? That��s �� Li Changsheng? He��s �� actually a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!��


    Ye Yuan noticed the ��fish�� that was implicated just now too. The other party��s movement technique and strength far surpassed the others.


    Earlier, Zhao Ding wanted to slip away through the transmission array. In the end, he was caught up to by Ye Yuan.


    Right at this time, Li Changsheng came out of the transmission array.


    With this, there was a full collision!


    However, it was spread outside that Li Changsheng was an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven. He did not expect that Li Changsheng actually was not!


    This guy already reached grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Ye Yuan secretly rejoiced. Luckily, the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation was called down. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would really suffer a big loss.


    A grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, the strength was far from what an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven could compare to.


    But since he came �� then he could accompany him to overcome the tribulation together!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan lunged and headed to Li Changsheng this side.


    Li Changsheng felt his scalp tingle, and he cursed, ��Boy, you��re courting death! This exalt will definitely kill you today!��


    As he said, Li Changsheng already displayed his movement technique and fled.


    The power of a nine laws Dao tribulation was too terrifying!


    One should not look at how he had overcome an eight laws Dao tribulation. Nine laws Dao tribulation and eight laws Dao tribulation were two totally different concepts!


    Nine was the extremity of numbers!


    Eight laws to nine laws, this was a process of quantitative change to qualitative change!


    However, Ye Yuan already broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven at this time. Him who had comprehended Heavenly Dao and combined it with spatial rule, his speed was unbelievably fast!


    Coupled with that Li Changsheng was unable to teleport, Ye Yuan caught up to Li Changsheng in virtually a blink of an eye.


    ��Li Changsheng, get to know nine laws Dao tribulation! Even you haven��t seen this thing before too, right?�� Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    At the same time, a bolt of heavenly lightning fell from the ninth heaven!


    Li Changsheng��s expression changed greatly, aware that he could not escape it.


    Ye Yuan��s movement technique was extremely fast. He was only less than 300 feet away from him.


    Li Changsheng did not have time to think too much. A small golden sword in his hand immediately dangled above his head.


    A ray of golden light covered his entire body.


    Boom!


    The nine laws heavenly lightning fell. Ye Yuan and Li Changsheng two people were directly blown away.


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly and immediately swallowed a true grade heavenly pill.


    This heavenly pill was a true grade heavenly imperial pill, a sacred healing medicine!


    Ye Yuan used heavenly medicines found only on the Myriad Demons Mountain and refined 13.


    Now, he already swallowed eight in order to transcend the tribulation!


    If not for these heavenly pills, he would really be in danger this time!


    After breaking through, grade four heavenly pills, even if they were true grade heavenly pills, was unable to quickly recover his injuries anymore too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan swallow a true grade heavenly imperial pill, Li Changsheng��s two eyes turned blood-red.


    This guy was actually able to refine grade four true grade heavenly imperial pills already!


    Swoosh!


    Taking advantage of the fact that the Dao tribulation was still condensing, Li Changsheng forcefully suppressed the injuries on his body. Urging the small golden sword in his hand to fly straight for Ye Yuan!


    This small golden sword was shockingly a grade two grandmist treasure!


    Ye Yuan was alarmed. There was no time to think too much. He immediately deployed the Myriad Realms Mountain and confronted it!


    Boom!


    A terrifying energy burst!


    Ye Yuan was directly blown away, but the small golden sword was bounced back, the golden light dimming a lot at once.


    Li Changsheng��s expression changed wildly!


    Similarly a grade two grandmist treasure and yet his small golden sword was actually so much worse than the Myriad Realms Mountain!


    ��Li Changsheng!��


    Being ambushed, Ye Yuan was instantly enraged. Swallowing another two heavenly pills, he flew straight for Li Changsheng.


    And at this time, another bolt of heavenly lightning fell!

 Chapter 2775 - Competing in Numbers?

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Boom!


    The place that Li Changsheng was standing exploded with a loud bang.


    The two people were blown away once more.


    The light on Li Changsheng��s small golden sword dimmed once again.


    The corners of his mouth twitched heavily, feeling his flesh hurt.


    A grade two grandmist treasure was not some cabbage!


    After a few Dao tribulations, fine cracks had already appeared on his little golden sword.


    He had the intention of shaking off Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan did not give him the chance to do so at all.


    He had to drag him into the water at the risk of heavy injuries too.


    While the other Saint Sovereign Heavens secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Li Changsheng��s appearance saved their lives.


    Otherwise, now, they would have long died.


    Nine laws Dao tribulation was too terrifying. Only Li Changsheng could barely manage to withstand it.


    Bolts of tribulations fell. Li Changsheng was bombarded until he bled from all seven orifices, his appearance utterly tragic.


    Of course, Ye Yuan was even more miserable than him.


    Even with the protection of the Myriad Realms Mountain, Ye Yuan was still bombarded until flesh and blood scattered everywhere, his breathing barely perceptible.


    However, no matter how miserable he was, he had to drag Li Changsheng along too.


    Except, what made Li Changsheng depressed was that his little golden sword already could not almost hold on anymore. But the Myriad Realms Mountain��s light seemed to be growing stronger and stronger!


    The Myriad Realms Mountain actually became more and more refined under the bombardment of the Dao tribulation!


    This was too �� freaking aggravating!


    Similarly a grade two grandmist treasure, but why would it be like this?


    Boom!


    Crack!


    The Dao tribulation fell, the small golden sword directly fragmented!


    Li Changsheng felt as if he heard the sound of his heart shattering.


    ��This �� Alliance Head��s Lichang Sword actually shattered!��


    ��Why is Ye Yuan��s small mountain completely fine? Not only is it fine, but its power also seems to have improved even more!��


    ��Similarly a grade two grandmist treasure, but why is the difference so big?��


    �� ��


    The Saint Sovereign Heavens had baffled faces.


    And right at this time, the true dragon illusion above the void gave a long howl, burrowing into Ye Yuan��s body.


    The terrifying tribulation clouds dissipated without a trace!


    The nine laws Dao tribulation finally ended!


    ��He �� He really succeeded in transcending the tribulation!�� Guo Huai looked at Ye Yuan and muttered to himself.


    This was a nine laws Dao tribulation!


    Not only did this guy not die, he even turned the Pill Alliance upside down.


    Unwillingness!


    Guo Huai carried a strong unwillingness and died ��


    ��Tsk tsk, the quality of your grade two grandmist treasure is lacking! Why did it shatter after being smitten a few times by Dao tribulation?�� Ye Yuan swallowed his last healing heavenly imperial pill and shook his head as he said with a sigh.


    These words were very sarcastic.


    The current Li Changsheng had green veins throbbing, glaring with wide eyes.


    If looks could kill, Ye Yuan would have long died a thousand times, ten thousand times over.


    ��I��m going to kill you, Ye Yuan!��


    Li Changsheng stepped into the air. An additional long sword appeared in his hand.


    However, this long sword was just a grade one grandmist treasure.


    Li Changsheng released his aura fully, a sword that tore across the air chopped over.


    It was as if the void was being cleaved apart by him!


    An aura of death hit him head-on.


    ��Eight Gates Life Extermination Sword!��


    But the current Ye Yuan did not evade, saying with a cold smile, ��Having broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, do you think that �� I��d still run? Myriad Realms Mountain, break for me!��


    With a thought, Ye Yuan��s divine essence injected into the Myriad Realms Mountain crazily.


    The Myriad Realms Mountain erupted with rays of brilliant light at once and met with Li Changsheng��s sword with a whoosh.


    Boom!


    The sword light directly collapsed and dissipated under the Myriad Realms Mountain��s brutal collision!


    Li Changsheng spurted out a large mouthful of blood with a cough and was actually directly smashed flying out!


    Ye Yuan suffered some backlash but was fine.


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock.


    The Ye Yuan who broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually powerful to such an extent?


    The lower Saint Sovereign Heaven Ye Yuan directly smashed the grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven Li Changsheng flying!


    ��Hah, Li Changsheng, you destroyed my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect! Today, it��s time for a blood feud to be paid in blood!�� Ye Yuan looked at Li Changsheng and said with a sneer.


    The nine laws Dao tribulation earlier shattered Li Changsheng��s grade two grandmist treasure, causing him rather severe injuries.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. Under the nourishment of Heavenly Dao and the effect of true grade heavenly pills, his injuries recovered rapidly.


    Furthermore, after the nine laws Dao tribulation��s tempering, the Myriad Realms Mountain became even more refined, and its power was even greater!


    When one was weakened, the other would be stronger. Ye Yuan��s strength suppressed the grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven Li Changsheng instead.


    Li Changsheng��s expression was livid. Firing out several talismans from his hands, he shouted coldly, ��Eight Legions War Generals, show yourselves!��


    Boom!


    Several talismans exploded with a loud bang, forming a spatial passageway.


    Eight figures walked out of the spatial passageway.


    These eight people were all embedded in a golden-yellow armor, imposing and domineering.


    Furthermore, these eight people were actually all the same, middle Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Some already reached peak middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    When Zhao Ding saw this scene, he could not resist letting out a loud laugh as he said, ��Ye Yuan, you dare to challenge my Pill Alliance! Even if you broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, so what? Could it be that you alone are a match for the dozen over of us? Today, you��ll surely die!��


    Zhao Ding was smitten twice by Dao tribulation and was incredibly wretched.


    Fortunately, he had some heavenly pills on him. At this time, his injuries recovered considerably.


    Just now, under the Dao tribulation, six of them died. There were only eight people left now.


    Adding in these Eight Legions War Generals and Li Changsheng, it was 17 people.


    With 17 great Saint Sovereign Heavens dealing with Ye Yuan alone, even if Ye Yuan had exceedingly formidable abilities, he could forget about escaping too!


    Li Changsheng stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and gnashed his teeth in hatred as he said, ��Lichang Sword has followed this chief for tens of thousands of years, becoming one of mind with me! But you actually destroyed it! Today, this chief is going to tear you to shreds so pay homage to my Lichang Sword!��


    This Lichang Sword was obtained by Li Changsheng in his sect. It had accompanied him for more than ten thousand years.


    Originally, by relying on his cultivation and the Lichang Sword, he was absolutely an invincible existence on this Rainclear Continent.


    But now �� the Lichang Sword was actually shattered by the Dao tribulation!


    The fury in Li Changsheng��s heart could be imagined.


    These 17 great Saint Sovereign Heavens blocked off all of Ye Yuan��s escape routes.


    Ye Yuan appeared somewhat alone and helpless under their encirclement.


    However, he did not mind. He just looked at Li Changsheng and said with a faint smile, ��Li Changsheng, do you really think that you��ve won?��


    ��What a joke! The 17 of us dealing with you alone, if this can��t even take care of you, then this chief will knock himself out and die here today!�� Li Changsheng said with a cold smile.


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Li Changsheng, Zhao Ding, this is Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s mountain pass gates. You all destroyed my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect at this place, massacring countless! Today, this Ye will kill you all here and pay homage to all of Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s members�� spirits in heaven that died unjustly!��


    Li Changsheng laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Boy, did your head get spoiled from being smitten by Dao tribulation just now? With just you alone, you also want to destroy my Pill Alliance?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Who told you that I��m alone?��


    ��Roar!��


    Ye Yuan raised his head and gave a long roar. The sound of a dragon roar surged to the sky, spreading extremely far and wide.


    In an instant, one powerful figure after another cut across the sky and arrived.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon, Saint Exalt Great Roc, Saint Exalt Giant Ape, Saint Exalt Big Yellow ��


    Myriad Demons Mountain��s 38 true spirit Saint Exalts had all arrived!


    On the other side, Saint Exalt Waycloud, Saint Exalt Skyfortune, and the other Five Great Heavenly Regions�� saint exalt powerhouses also appeared one after another!


    A total of 15 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses came over at this side!


    There was also a group who was Luo Yunqing three people, as well as the Land of Heavenly South��s four great Saint Exalts.


    The Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present reached a terrifying 60 people all at once!

 Chapter 2776 - One Versus Sixty!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What��s going on with this astonishing aura?��


    ��This seems like it��s all the auras of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! How many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses there needs to be before they can give off such terrifying power?��


    ��It��s the direction of the Martial Secure Branch. Something big must have happened!��


    �� ��


    One figure after another stood in the air, glaring like ravening tigers.


    With 60 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses gathering together, the imposing momentum was surging. This was a grand event that had never happened on the Rainclear Continent!


    The impact was clear at a glance!


    This imposing surging momentum spread extremely far and wide, causing countless powerhouses to be shocked!


    Each and every one of the Pill Alliance��s Saint Sovereign Heavens�� eyes went wide!


    When were there so many Saint Sovereign Heavens on the Rainclear Continent?


    ��Competing in numbers? Huhu, I��m really not afraid that you��re competing in numbers!�� Ye Yuan looked at Li Changsheng and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Li Changsheng��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He had secretly operated in the Rainclear Continent for more than ten thousand years and merely accumulated this much resources.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually created 60 Saint Sovereign Heavens in a short hundred plus years!


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven army!


    Was this fellow still human?


    What was even more damnable was that this guy just broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Each of his subordinates had looks of despair on their faces.


    That expression was incredibly similar to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s disciples back then!


    Every dog had its day. This time, it was their turn to despair!


    Including Ye Yuan, there were 61 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. This was nearly four times as many as the Pill Alliance!


    ��Waycloud, why are you rebelling? What Ye Yuan can give you, this exalt can give you as well! Withdraw now. This exalt can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to definitely assist you in stepping into upper Saint Sovereign Heaven in the future!�� Li Changsheng looked towards Saint Exalt Waycloud and shouted fiercely.


    He could tell that these Saint Sovereign Heavens were scraped together, completely different from those he groomed.


    Scraping together meant that they were not of one heart!


    Therefore, as long as he made the other party disintegrate on their own, then there would be nothing to worry about.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud looked at Li Changsheng and could not help laughing as he said, ��Li Changsheng, your head isn��t spoiled, right? These few years, you rear us Saint Sovereign Heavens in pens like pigs. Do you really think that we can��t tell? That��s right. You��re a grade five heavenly alchemist. But now, Ye Yuan stepped into Saint Exalt Heaven and is similarly a grade five heavenly alchemist! Why should this exalt work for you?��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun sneered and said, ��Li Changsheng, put away these ulterior motives! We aren��t three-year-old children. How can we change our minds because of one sentence from you? Moreover, you take a look at this sky filled with Saint Exalt Heavens. Do you really think that you��re stronger than Ye Yuan?��


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens did not buy Li Changsheng��s promise at all!


    Every word uttered also pricked the heart.


    Li Changsheng��s face turned pitch black from listening.


    This was seriously too unexpected. He was completely unprepared.


    Who could have thought that so many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses could actually appear on this resource-poor Rainclear Continent?


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Changsheng and said with a cold smile, ��Li Changsheng, stop wasting your energy! A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support! You possess powerful strength but want to enslave the Rainclear Continent. At this point, you still want to make them stand on your side?��


    ��I��ve already made an agreement with all of the Saint Sovereign Heavens. After destroying the Pill Alliance, I��ll re-establish the Pill Pavilion and pass down the Dao teachings, letting everyone get the benefits of Alchemy Dao! Alchemy Dao is the king��s way. It should benefit the world and not become a tool to satisfy your ambitions! Moreover, in terms of Alchemy Dao �� I��ve already completely surpassed you!��


    When transcending the tribulation earlier, Li Changsheng took quite a few grade five heavenly pills too. Ye Yuan naturally took it into his sights.


    Although the quality of those heavenly pills was decent, it was as easy as blowing off dust for the present Ye Yuan to refine that quality of heavenly pills.


    He broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven. Although he was unable to refine true grade heavenly pills for the time being, ninth grade heavenly pills were not far beyond reach for him!


    Meanwhile, Li Changsheng was at the very most just the strength of seventh or eighth grade too.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Li Changsheng suddenly burst out laughing and said, ��You aboriginals, do you really think that after breaking through to Saint Exalt Heaven, you��re this exalt��s match? This exalt��s background is big until you all can��t imagine it! Even 17 versus 61, do you all really think that this exalt has no chance of winning anymore?��


    After he was done talking, Li Changsheng��s aura suddenly skyrocketed.


    Around him, two power of rules fused into one, gradually condensing into a small golden sword!


    This small sword was identical with the Lichang Sword.


    Great Dao Transformation fourth form!


    The faces of the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present indeed changed.


    A grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven who comprehended Great Dao Transformation was no joke!


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a faint smile, ��You��re mistaken. It��s not 17 versus 61. It��s one versus 60! Big Yellow, I��ll leave this guy to you all. Regarding the others �� I alone will suffice!��


    Li Changsheng��s expression changed wildly, and at this moment, Ye Yuan had already moved!


    It was only to see his figure sway. A compact to the extreme sword light chopped towards Zhao Jian.


    Zhao Ding��s expression changed wildly, only feeling that this sword was simply unavoidable!


    Too strong!


    The Ye Yuan who broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, his strength was simply fearsome until it made people��s hair stand on end!


    Pffft!


    Without the slightest surprise, Zhao Jian was directly split in half by this sword!


    Zhao Ding was dead!


    Li Changsheng was greatly enraged and was just about to make a move when Big Yellow had already arrived!


    If these 60 people were all lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, Li Changsheng naturally would not be afraid.


    But unfortunately, there was still Big Yellow and Bull Demon, this kind of powerful Saint Exalt powerhouses.


    Especially Big Yellow, he killed his way into the top 1000 in the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s cultivation room.


    Being able to reach this level, Big Yellow was not the least bit inferior to the Hegemon level holy land��s Li Changsheng!


    No, one should say that he had already surpassed Li Changsheng by a lot!


    Because the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s might was far from what a measly little Extreme Medicine Sect could compare to.


    Therefore, he was equipped with the ability to jump realms and do battle too!


    In addition, Li Changsheng was implicated by Li Changsheng and suffered more than ten bolts of Dao tribulation. At this time, he was already seriously injured.


    With 60 fighting one �� it could not be described.


    At the same time Big Yellow made a move, Saint Exalt Bull Demon, Saint Exalt Waycloud, and the rest of the powerhouses also took action one after another.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud these people already broke through to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven too. Coupled with each person having a grandmist treasure, their combat power was not weak!


    With 60 people attacking at the same time, how shocking was the commotion!


    Li Changsheng only felt surges of power that could topple mountains and overturn the seas smash towards him.


    He wanted to run, but Big Yellow��s Coquettish Profligate Hoof was truly boundlessly coquettish. He had nowhere to run at all!


    Boom!


    Forcefully taking a hit, Li Changsheng was directly slammed flying out.


    Then one big move after another greeted him.


    Those powerhouses who were brought in from everywhere could not breathe for a long time when they saw this terrifying scene.


    Too strong!


    With 60 Saint Sovereign Heavens targeting one person at the same time. Even if you had exceedingly formidable means, what could you do?


    ��This scene is truly unforgettable!��


    ��60 Saint Exalts! This picture is too beautiful. I don��t dare to look away!��


    ��Gang fight, it looks satisfying! This scene is much more enjoyable than whatever powerhouses exchanging moves!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Li Changsheng getting pummeled, each and every one of these people, they were incredibly excited.

 Chapter 2777 - Sacrificing One’s Life to Save Others!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Above the void, sword images permeated!


    Ye Yuan��s one sword formation trapped 16 powerhouses!


    Eight Legions War Generals, their strength was even a level stronger than that Zhao Ding.


    Adding in the remaining branches�� alliance chiefs, this group of people��s strength was not weak!


    If it was a melee, Ye Yuan��s side would definitely have a lot of casualties.


    Especially the Eight Legions War Generals, the eight people seemed to be of one body, advancing and retreating together. Their combat power was not the slightest bit weaker than an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven too.


    ��True Soul Explosion!��


    Ye Yuan borrowed the sword formation and arrived not far from an alliance chief. Suddenly, he shouted and executed the origin divinity attack on him.


    That alliance chief��s figure turned sluggish, and he was immediately pierced through by more than a dozen transformed swords.


    The dead body fell with a loud bang.


    After breaking through to Saint Sovereign Heaven, Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence skyrocketed in strength and already reached peak middle Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Even if the other party cultivated the Vajra Dharma Body, it was difficult to withstand too.


    Having Ye Yuan get close to you was a one-way road that led to death!


    With Ye Yuan��s current origin divinity strength, he could execute origin divinity attack within 500 feet.


    Coupled with an extremely fast movement technique, killing Saint Sovereign Heavens was not considered very hard to him.


    Like chopping and dicing vegetables, the remaining eight alliance chiefs were killed off by Ye Yuan very soon.


    However, the Eight Legions War Generals were extremely powerful.


    Although they were being suppressed, they could barely manage to withstand the power of the sword formation.


    ��True Soul Explosion!��


    Ye Yuan launched an origin divinity attack against one of them.


    Suddenly, his expression changed, feeling that his origin divinity ran into a wall and actually suffered a backlash?


    ��A puppet? These eight people��s origin divinities actually linked up as one. When you launch an origin divinity attack against one of them, it��s equivalent to facing eight people at the same time! This guy��s means are indeed extraordinary!��


    Suffering a hidden loss, it made Ye Yuan even more sure of Li Changsheng��s origins.


    However, not being able to use origin divinity attacks was fine too.


    Just using the All-Encompassing Sword Formation, Ye Yuan could eradicate the eight people too. It just took more time, that was all.


    On the other side, Li Changsheng fought one-against-60, being beaten until he spewed three liters of blood.


    Especially Big Yellow��s coquettish hoof, it simply came and went like a shadow, almost impossible to resist.


    Everyone said that it was hard for two fists to fight four hands, unless one was strong until they could instantly kill those in the same rank. Otherwise, facing so many Saint Sovereign Heavens, they could only take a beating.


    However, Li Changsheng was formidable too.


    In front of the attacks that made mountains cry out and the seas howl, he actually managed to hold on.


    ��AHH! You bunch of aboriginals, this exalt definitely won��t let you all off! Want to kill this exalt, then die together! Explode for me! Explode! EXPLODE!��


    Suddenly, Li Changsheng roared wildly. A terrifying energy undulation made the expressions of all the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse change one after another.


    The auras on the Eight Legions War Generals became extremely unstable.


    Their bodies started inflating all of a sudden like balloons being pumped with air.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed wildly, an extremely dangerous feeling assaulting him.


    These guys were going to self-detonate!


    ��Quickly spread out!��


    Ye Yuan roared wildly at the sky, his figure instantly disappearing.


    The 60 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses scattered and fled in all directions virtually at once.


    However, it was already too late!


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The bodies of the Eight Legions War Generals exploded with a loud bang. There seemed to be an additional sun above the sky!


    A terrifying to the extreme energy filled every region of space.


    There was no way of dodging at all!


    This energy undulation was enough to blow a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven to death too!


    Furthermore, it was an indiscriminate attack.


    ��Damn it! C-Can��t escape it!��


    The faces of those Saint Sovereign Heavens were full of despair.


    Everything happened too suddenly. They had no chance to escape at all.


    While right at this time, a giant mountain suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking everyone��s figures!


    Boom!


    The intense explosion directly blasted the giant mountain away.


    A terrifying air billow blew everyone away.


    ��Huah!��


    Ye Yuan directly vomited a large mouthful of blood, his figure whirling away into the distance like a kite with a broken strength.


    Li Changsheng suffered the aftermath of the shock too and directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    However, he laughed wildly and said, ��Hahaha �� Fool, to actually help this bunch of trash block the disaster, bearing most of the explosion himself! This exalt is leaving! Boy, I��ll definitely seek revenge for this enmity!��


    After he was done talking, Li Changsheng��s figure flashed, and he directly escaped into the void.


    If Ye Yuan really wanted to leave, he could have left.


    But at that moment just now, Ye Yuan used the Myriad Realms Mountain and blocked most of the explosion��s power.


    Otherwise, at least half of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present or more would probably have to die!


    ��Master Ye!��


    Big Yellow��s expression changed wildly, chasing after Ye Yuan in haste.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s figure flashed, and he disappeared!


    Big Yellow��s expression changed again!


    Ye Yuan went to pursuit!


    That explosion just now, Ye Yuan��s injuries must be extremely severe.


    He actually disregarded his injuries and chased after Li Changsheng!


    There was no one who could keep up with Ye Yuan��s speed here. They could only passively watch the two people disappear.


    Looking in the direction Ye Yuan disappeared, Saint Exalt Waycloud sighed and said, ��Younger Brother Ye is righteous!��


    Just now, he was closest to the center of the explosion. If not for Ye Yuan tanking most of the attack, he would have long died.


    Even so, he still suffered serious injuries.


    Everyone nodded one after another, agreeing greatly with Waycloud��s words.


    People were all selfish. Ye Yuan��s heart to seek revenge was stronger than anyone.


    If he escaped by himself just now, then go chase after Li Changsheng, he would be able to face the opponent with his strongest combat power.


    But he chose to save everyone!


    At the moment of life-and-death, Ye Yuan could make such a decision. This was absolutely not what everyone could make.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan used his actions and filled everyone with admiration!


    However, they were also powerless to help Ye Yuan with anything anymore.


    Although none of the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses present died, the explosion earlier made them all sustain extremely serious injuries.


    ��I hope that Younger Brother Ye can succeed in taking revenge!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a sigh.


    They knew that if they did not kill Li Changsheng this time, they probably would not be able to kill him anymore again.


    A grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven, if he was at his peak state, even if it was Ye Yuan this heaven-defying existence, it was impossible to be his match too.


    �� ��


    On the other side, Ye Yuan chased after with all his strength while coughing blood.


    His injuries were too severe. Even his consciousness was somewhat blurry already.


    He used up all the heavenly imperial pills previously.


    Now, he could only rely on his willpower to hold on.


    But he understood that this was the one and only chance!


    Letting Li Changsheng go, the consequences would be too dreadful to contemplate!


    The explosion earlier, Li Changsheng suffered the aftermath too. Right now, he was very miserable too.


    The two people, one in the front and one behind, their speed was quick to the extreme.


    Li Changsheng was currently fleeing at high speed when suddenly, his expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, ��This boy actually still chased after me! Humph! This aura is faintly discernible. He is already someone who��s about to die, and he actually still dares to chase after. You really think that this exalt can��t kill you?��


    Although he said so, Li Changsheng did not dare to stop.


    There were still many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses at the back. If he was intercepted, he would really be dead for sure.


    He could feel that Ye Yuan��s aura was very weak.


    Clearly, the explosion earlier caused immense harm to Ye Yuan.


    As long as he dragged it out, Ye Yuan might just die himself.

 Chapter 2778 - I Have a Sword!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��How can he be so fast?��


    He did not escape very far when Li Changsheng discovered something amiss.


    Ye Yuan��s speed was too fast!


    At the rate of this speed, Ye Yuan would be able to catch up to him before long.


    Suddenly, Li Changsheng��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��This boy gained enlightenment when �� he broke through?��


    Nine laws Dao tribulation; the power was naturally extremely terrifying. Using nine chances to die and one chance to live to describe it was not overboard too.


    But, once the tribulation was successfully overcome, the benefits obtained would naturally be huge too.


    The more rules that descended, the closer the tribulation-taker would be to Heavenly Dao, and naturally the greater the inspiration too!


    When Ye Yuan was breaking through, his spatial rule comprehension was the deepest, directly reaching the fifth level!


    Li Changsheng secretly cussed, too monstrous!


    ��If this boy doesn��t die, he will definitely be a mortal malady! Take your life while you��re ill! Since you dare to come, then this exalt will send you off!��


    Li Changsheng made his resolve and suddenly stopped his figure.


    The moment he stopped, Ye Yuan caught up in a few breaths.


    When Li Changsheng saw Ye Yuan, his heart immediately calmed down.


    The current Ye Yuan was covered in blood all over, his breathing slightly weak.


    He was still coughing blood non-stop.


    Clearly, the Eight Legions War Generals�� self-detonation earlier caused tremendous damage to Ye Yuan.


    ��Hahaha �� with how dreadful you look, you also want to come and kill me?�� Li Changsheng said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Changsheng coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��Today, you must die!��


    Li Changsheng was indifferent and could not help laughing as he said, ��You��re only left with half a life now, and yet you��re actually still putting sham courage here!��


    Ye Yuan held the Dragon Spring Sword in his hand and said with a pant, ��I have a sword. It��s enough �� to kill you!��


    The current Ye Yuan virtually could not even stand firm anymore, seeming like he might fall down at any moment.


    But, his gaze was incomparably firm.


    Not killing Li Changsheng, he swore not to return!


    Li Changsheng scoffed and said, ��With just that sword formation of yours? It��s very strong, but don��t you forget; no matter how injured this exalt is, I��m also a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven! Forget it. Since you came to seek death, then this exalt will send you off!��


    But Ye Yuan ignored him because he could no longer afford to drag it on.


    The Dragon Spring Sword in his hand was gently released, turning into nothingness.


    Then, the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree started growing, growing all the way until grand completion fourth form!


    In the breakthrough previously, Ye Yuan only had spatial rule that broke through to the fifth level.


    The other two Daos did not break through.


    Therefore, his Great Dao Transformation was still the fourth form.


    When Li Changsheng saw the situation, he could not help laughing and said, ��I was wondering what trump card you have. It turns out that it��s this sword formation? Three laws transformation, grand completion fourth form, it��s indeed very strong. But, using it to kill me, it��s still insufficient!��


    He was naturally aware of the power of Ye Yuan��s sword formation.


    Previously, he used this sword formation and trapped 16 Saint Sovereign Heavens. There were even the Eight Legions War Generals among them!


    By relying on this sword formation, if Ye Yuan was at his peak state, he would indeed have the capability to fight with him.


    But sadly, with Ye Yuan��s current state, he could grind him down till death too!


    Ye Yuan still did not pay attention to him, the last divine essence in his body gushing out!


    ��All-Encompassing Sacred Tree, Sword of Heaven Killing, condense!��


    At this time, the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree did not transform into a sword formation, but the entire trunk condensed into an enormous sword, emitting an aura that made people feel heart palpitations.


    When Li Changsheng saw this scene, his pupils constricted.


    This condensed long sword had an awe-inspiring sword energy. The sword intent it exuded rose straight to the firmament.


    Extremely far away, the group of Saint Sovereign Heavens felt this astonishing sword energy too!


    ��What a strong sword energy!��


    ��This seems like �� it��s Ye Yuan��s sword energy! We can even feel it from such a distance; it��s too terrifying!��


    ��Sword intent soaring to the sky, rising straight to the firmament! Is this sword �� going to poke a hole in the sky?��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of these Saint Sovereign Heavens turned pale with fright. It was truly that this sword was too terrifying!


    When the two people left earlier, they had to at least escape more than several hundred miles away too!


    This astonishing sword intent could actually spread so far. One could only imagine how terrifying it was.


    Currently, countless powerhouses felt this terrifying sword intent.


    The Rainclear Continent was in an uproar!


    Sword energy spanning unobstructed for 100 thousand miles, one sword light making 19 continents feel a chill!


    It was talking about Ye Yuan��s current sword!


    This was also Ye Yuan��s greatest killing move!


    Ye Yuan��s Great Dao Transformation, All-Encompassing Sacred Tree, had always condensed transformed swords from leaves, but he had never utilized the trunk before!


    This was his ultimate move and also a move that bet his future!


    The sword��s name ��Heaven Killing�� was more than just talk!


    This move could virtually leapfrog realms to kill the enemy. It was too heaven-defying!


    After he cultivated to an extremely high realm, he might really be able to actually poke a hole in the sky!


    And once this move was unleashed, his Dao would also trigger the wrath of Heavenly Dao, thus shattering his Dao.


    Once this move was unleashed, the All-Encompassing Sacred Tree would be annihilated!


    So, unless it was a last resort, Ye Yuan would not use this move.


    But currently, he could not care less about it anymore.


    Li Changsheng, who was opposite of him, was still mocking Ye Yuan a moment ago. But at this time, his expression changed wildly.


    This sword, forget about him right now. Even at his peak state, he could not receive it too!


    Too horrifying!


    Before the sword was unsheathed, he already felt that his body was about to be sliced into countless pieces!


    ��Lunatic! You��re a complete and utter mad man! Using this move, your Dao will completely crumble!�� Li Changsheng screamed shrilly.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��So what? Sect Master, this Ye will repay the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect with this sword today! Your spirits in heaven can rest in peace!��


    Finished saying, he used the last bit of his strength and unleashed the Sword of Heaven Killing!


    Swish!


    The sword light flashed past, Li Changsheng��s body was directly sliced into countless pieces without even having time to scream out.


    To this sword, Li Changsheng was merely an ant!


    After Ye Yuan unleashed this sword, his entire person fell down, without the slightest strength in his entire body anymore!


    Li Changsheng was already dead, but the Sword of Heaven Killing was not extinguished but flew straight toward the sky.


    Crack! Crack!


    Above the void, lightning flashed and appeared.


    Suddenly, a bolt out of the blue fell down!


    Boom!


    The Sword of Heaven Killing exploded with a loud bang!


    Everything dissipated into nothing.


    Ye Yuan coughed, vomiting out a large mouthful of fresh blood, then fell unconscious.


    �� ��


    Very soon, Big Yellow��s figure landed.


    When he saw Ye Yuan��s miserable state, his heart could not help twitching.


    ��Senior, he ����


    Mi Tian gave a long sigh and said, ��He��s fine, but his road of martial arts �� has probably been cut off!��


    Big Yellow��s expression changed, and he said, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    Mi Tian said, ��This old man also didn��t expect that this boy��s transformed sword is actually so heaven-defying! Sword of Heaven Killing, heh heh, what a fine Sword of Heaven Killing! However, he incurred Heaven��s jealousy before achieving success! His transformed sword is destroyed! Without the recognition of Heavenly Dao, he won��t be able to condense the transformation sword anymore in the future! With Martial Dao not taking form, what difference is there from ordinary people?��


    Monstrous waves were set off in Big Yellow��s heart!


    Transformation sword incurring Heaven��s jealousy!


    How heaven-defying was Master Ye��s sword?


    No wonder he could bring down nine laws Dao tribulation!


    But now, how would Master Ye��s road in the future be decided?


    Without the transformation sword, could he still match up to those peerless heaven��s chosen?


    With Master Ye��s pride, he must be unable to bear it, right?

 Chapter 2779 - : Immense Wealth

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    On Flowing Cloud Peak at Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    Ye Yuan stood in the air, three rules revolving around him indeterminately.


    But these three power of rules became distinct from each other and were unable to merge.


    Buzz!


    The three power of rules dissipated with a loud bang. Ye Yuan looked into the distance, his eyes somewhat in a daze.


    Sure enough, it still could not work!


    ��Master Ye, it still doesn��t work?�� Big Yellow said with a guilty look.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��There seems to be an invisible barrier between the rules. Furthermore, I��m unable to sense the power of rules anymore.��


    Being unable to sense the power of rules meant no longer being able to cultivate!


    A peerless heaven��s chosen of his generation was actually unable to cultivate. How great a blow did this have to be!


    Big Yellow��s expression changed, and he said, ��Master Ye, it �� it��s all Big Yellow��s fault for being useless!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Big Yellow and said with a smile, ��This enmity is my Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s enmity. It has nothing to do with the Myriad Demons Mountain. This Ye is already endlessly grateful that you all could act to help me. This has nothing to do with you all.��


    ��B-But, Master Ye, you ���� Big Yellow felt his heart ache.


    He desperately wanted to follow Ye Yuan��s footsteps, but in the end, Ye Yuan blocked the deadly blow for them, resulting in him sustaining serious injuries.


    If not for this, Ye Yuan also would not have gone so far as to kill Li Changsheng with the transformation sword as the price.


    Martial Secure��s battle shocked the continent!


    With Ye Yuan killing Changsheng with one sword, this was passed from mouth to mouth with approbation in the entire continent.


    It was also this sword that ended the Pill Alliance��s rule, completely liberating the various major sects.


    For some time, Ye Yuan��s prestige had no equal.


    But, extremely few people knew that after this battle, Ye Yuan could no longer cultivate.


    Losing Heavenly Dao��s approval, one would be a cripple!


    Ye Yuan was not discouraged and smiled, saying with boundless heroism, ��I, Ye Yuan, have always been going against heaven throughout my life! My Dao doesn��t need anyone to approve it!��


    Big Yellow looked at Ye Yuan in a daze, somewhat absent-minded for a while.


    Ye Yuan��s performance was far from what he imagined. There was actually no decadent at all.


    The more one was a heaven��s chosen, the harder it would be to bear it after encountering this sort of blow, never to recover henceforth.


    But Ye Yuan behaved like it had nothing to do with him.


    It was not just that. He felt that Ye Yuan seemed to have more drive and was more spirited than before!


    Could it be that this guy did not know that he could no longer cultivate?


    ��What did they all say about my proposal?�� Ye Yuan did not care about this and asked Big Yellow.


    But Big Yellow frowned and said with displeasure, ��This bunch of guys are really ingrates! If not for Master Ye, they would have long died! Now, they actually don��t even agree to this little request!��


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected it and said coolly, ��What did they say?��


    Big Yellow said indignantly, ��They said that ascenders are ascenders. They are bumpkins! Now, the five great heavenly sects exist only in name. They can give them a place for the sects. The rest have to be handed over! Furthermore, they will strictly control ascenders!��


    After the great battle, Ye Yuan proposed that the Rainclear Continent no longer be divided into native factions and ascenders in the future.


    Ascenders could enter the major heavenly sects to cultivate.


    Presently, of the Five Light Heavenly Region��s former five great heavenly sects, there was only Luo Yunqing, one Saint Sovereign Heaven left.


    Ascender Saint Sovereign Heavens only had a scanty three people too.


    And native Saint Sovereign Heavens occupied an absolute advantage.


    Therefore, they did not want to share with ascenders the benefits at all, wanting to take the opportunity to completely throttle ascenders dead.


    It was also that they were somewhat apprehensive of the Myriad Demons Mountain behind Ye Yuan. Otherwise, they would have probably directly shed all pretenses of cordiality.


    Once Li Changsheng died, all parties lost the common enemy. These Saint Sovereign Heavens started pursuing their own interests one after another.


    Of course, the more important reason was that they knew that Ye Yuan had already become a cripple.


    Although the current Ye Yuan was still Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, he was unable to execute Great Dao Transformation, his combat power being greatly reduced.


    They were no longer afraid of Ye Yuan.


    A genius with no future, then there was nothing to fear.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Have you found the Pill Alliance��s headquarters?��


    Big Yellow said, ��Found it!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��Come, go take a look!��


    �� ��


    A group of people landed among green mountains and blue waters with unstoppable momentum.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud, Saint Exalt Skyfortune, Saint Exalt Bull Demon, and many top powerhouses were shockingly present.


    The place was called Chilian Gorge, a very remote place.


    No one thought that Li Changsheng actually set the headquarters up here.


    However, at this time, the gazes of Saint Exalt Waycloud and the rest when looking toward Ye Yuan was somewhat strange and a little �� contemptuous.


    The atmosphere was a little awkward.


    ��Tsk tsk, Li Changsheng this fellow is really capable, setting up such a large formation, completely covering up the mountain pass gates. If not for fumbling over through the transmission array, we couldn��t have found it at all!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud said.


    With regards to Li Changsheng��s means, they still rather admired it.


    Regardless of whether it was alchemy or the Eight Legions War Generals, or currently this mountain pass gates, all of them demonstrated his power.


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune said, ��We raided 14 Pill Alliance��s branches and obtained great benefits! However, over these ten thousand years, most of the wealth that Li Changsheng accumulated is likely hidden in this place. Most likely �� it��s an astronomical figure!��


    With the Pill Alliance being destroyed, the 14 branches had no leader and could naturally be at other people��s mercy.


    The group of saint exalts were not courteous either, completely wiping out the 14 branches, obtaining tremendous benefits.


    But everyone knew that the real treasure was here!


    The group of Saint Sovereign Heavens was brave due to their great ability, and they directly barged into the mountain pass gates.


    With Saint Sovereign Heavens being completely wiped out, everyone in the Pill Alliance had long since dispersed.


    At this time, it was a wasteland at the mountain pass gates.


    The group of powerhouses turned the Pill Alliance upside down and finally found a cave in the back mountain.


    Powerful restrictions were placed outside of the cave.


    Breaking these restrictions were nothing to the Saint Sovereign Heavens present.


    The party entered the cave, and each and every one of them was immediately stunned.


    As far as the eyes could see, there were countless precious treasures in the cave!


    Countless heavenly crystals were piled up everywhere!


    The wealth here could really be described using astronomical numbers!


    When the Saint Sovereign Heavens saw these treasures, their eyes turned green.


    The powerhouses present had never seen before so much fortune in their lives.


    ��This Li Changsheng is really unscrupulous, to have actually accumulated such a frightening wealth!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud exclaimed.


    Everyone nodded one after another. This wealth added up was even more than the ones obtained in the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    Using this wealth to nurture another several dozen Saint Sovereign Heavens was more than plenty!


    ��Now, shouldn��t we discuss how to allocate these fortunes?�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune said.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance and said with a smile, ��Although these fortunes are Li Changsheng��s, they are actually all plundered from our various major heavenly sects! Therefore, I suggest to distribute these fortunes with the strength of the sects!��


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune smiled coldly and said, ��Huhu, Waycloud, you really calculated well! In this place, your Seven-star Heavenly Sect is the strongest. You mean that you��re taking the largest share?��


    Apart from Saint Exalt Waycloud, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect still had another Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    Therefore, they were the strongest!


    Saint Exalt Waycloud��s distribution method was naturally the Seven-star Heavenly Sect gaining a big advantage. How could the others be willing to comply?

 Chapter 2780 - Burning the Bridge After Crossing It!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Skyfortune, you��re wrong! The strongest one here isn��t our Seven-star Heavenly Sect, but the Myriad Demons Mountain! Saint Exalt Bull Demon, these fortunes, your Myriad Demons Mountain can take 50% of it! How��s that?�� Saint Exalt Waycloud looked toward Saint Exalt Bull Demon and said with a smile.


    There were no fools present.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was using 50% of the wealth to buy over the Myriad Demons Mountain!


    The strength of the humans was indeed not considered strong, but they were all veteran Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Meanwhile, the vast majority of the Myriad Demons Mountain��s Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had just broken through not long ago.


    If war really broke out, both sides would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.


    Both sides had a score about this in their hearts.


    And in the wake of Ye Yuan��s road of martial arts being cut off, the disagreements between Saint Exalt Waycloud and co., and the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, became greater and greater.


    Clearly, Waycloud these people did not intend to give ascenders a way out.


    As for these fortunes, they probably had no plans of giving it to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect too.


    ��This ���� Saint Exalt Bull Demon looked at Ye Yuan and could not help revealing a hesitant look.


    Got to admit, 50% of the wealth was very tempting!


    The wealth that Li Changsheng accumulated over ten thousand years was sufficient to move any Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    When Big Yellow saw Saint Exalt Bull Demon hesitate, he could not resist saying, ��Lord Bull Demon! Without Master Ye, could our Myriad Demons Mountain have today��s glory? Without Master Ye, could we have resisted the Eight Legions War Generals�� self-detonation? Could it be that at this time, you want to go back on your word and forget your benefactor?��


    The moment Saint Exalt Bull Demon heard, he became even more hesitant.


    But Waycloud smiled and said, ��Fellow Daoist Big Yellow, your words are wrong! Master Ye helped you all refine heavenly pills and created dozens of saint exalts. He harbored selfish motives to begin with! He only wanted to borrow your strength to take revenge on Li Changsheng. Now, the great enmity has been avenged. You guys owe each other nothing. How can it be going back on your word and forgetting your benefactor?��


    By the side, Luo Yunqing exploded with anger and berated angrily, ��Waycloud, you villain who kicks someone to the curb after they��ve outlived their usefulness! If not for Ye Yuan blocking the Eight Legions War Generals�� self-detonation for us, would it still be your turn to spout a stream of empty rhetoric here? Also, have you forgotten who brought you out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace?!��


    The events in the Labyrinth Divine Palace was no secret. Luo Yunqing also heard about it afterward.


    But Waycloud did not agree and said, ��Everyone was just making use of each other; that��s all. Didn��t he save this exalt in order to borrow this exalt��s strength? Now, his road of martial arts has already been cut off. Distributing this wealth has no use too. So, there��s naturally no need to distribute it either. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Bull Demon?��


    In the end, Waycloud still threw the problem to Bull Demon.


    This was because his decision was pivotal.


    Waycloud also perceived that among the Myriad Demons Mountain��s 38 Saint Exalt powerhouses, there were many who were moved by the wealth.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was naturally moved too. It was just that it was hard for him to open his mouth owing to Ye Yuan��s face.


    In reality, when he was hesitating, it already showed that he had forsaken Ye Yuan.


    Someone whose road of martial arts had been severed, the person no longer had any value to exploit.


    ��Lord Bull Demon!�� Big Yellow shouted angrily.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon gave Ye Yuan a glance and discovered that Ye Yuan had an indifferent face.


    It was as if he was an uninvolved person with regards to the present situation.


    Ye Yuan did not say anything from start to end.


    Very clearly, he himself had also given up on himself.


    Those present were all Rainclear Continent��s overlord figures. They had seen before God knows how many geniuses.


    Ye Yuan this kind of peerless heaven��s chosen was enough to sweep across the contemporary era.


    But the road of martial arts being severed would undoubtedly give him a heavy blow.


    He was also clear that if Ye Yuan��s road of martial arts was not severed, Waycloud naturally would not dare to make trouble.


    In the end, it was still strength!


    These few years, under Ye Yuan��s help, Saint Exalt Bull Demon��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds. This allowed him to see a greater future!


    Perhaps, he could also reach True Sovereign Heaven one day in the future?


    Being in possession of so much wealth, he might have some hope!


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon nodded and said, ��I agree! However, our Myriad Demons Mountain wants 60%!��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of the Five Great Heavenly Regions�� Saint Sovereign Heavens changed one after another.


    This 60% represented countless wealth!


    Waycloud also gritted his teeth and said with a nod, ��Okay! 60% it is! The remaining 40%, our Seven-star Heavenly Sect wants 15%, the rest, your various sects divide equally! Do you all have objections?��


    When he said this, Waycloud naturally filtered out Ye Yuan and the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect too.


    The various sects that he was talking about naturally did not include the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune thought about it and shook his head and said, ��I don��t have objections!��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun said, ��I have no objections too!��


    But when Waycloud saw the situation, he looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Ye Yuan, we��ve discussed your view! Ascenders are ascenders. What right do foreigners have to gain a foothold in the Five Great Heavenly Regions? However, we��re not unreasonable people either. You��ve rendered great contributions to destroying the Pill Alliance. So, you all, these ascenders, withdraw to the Land of Heavenly South. We won��t make things difficult for you all.��


    Waycloud these people clearly came prepared.


    They were going to drive all of the ascenders to the Land of Heavenly South.


    The Land of Heavenly South��s Saint Sovereign Heavens and Luo Yunqing, these people, all broke through not long ago. Their strength was too lousy.


    If they were really unwilling, once a battle broke out, it was likely that Ye Yuan would not be able to protect them at all with his remaining strength.


    Therefore, they ascertained that Ye Yuan only had this path, that was to agree.


    Furthermore, they did not plan on sharing this enormous wealth with Ye Yuan��s side.


    ��You all are bullying people too far! Do you really think that we��re scared of you?��


    Luo Yunqing could not hold back anymore, and his long sword immediately unsheathed!


    Waycloud had a disdainful look and directly smacked a palm over.


    At the same time, Big Yellow also gave no chance to explain and kicked a hoof towards Saint Exalt Waycloud.


    Bang!


    Waycloud only felt a tremendous force transmit over, directly being kicked flying by Big Yellow.


    He was not Big Yellow��s match alone.


    The present Big Yellow needed at least three to five people joining hands before he could be dealt with.


    Big Yellow looked at Waycloud coldly and said in a solemn voice, ��All of you ungrateful villains that forget kindness! Do you really think that this exalt is to be trifled with? Today, even if I fight it out till the bitter end, this exalt will also take care of you all!��


    In the next moment, Big Yellow erupted with a powerful pressure, making the faces of everyone present change one after another.


    Big Yellow��s strength was known to the people present.


    Even Saint Exalt Bull Demon was also not his match currently.


    If he was to really go nuts, dragging several Saint Sovereign Heavens down was all too normal.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly stepped forward, patted Big Yellow on the shoulder, and said with a smile, ��Alright. Big Yellow, let��s go! This wealth is merely worldly possessions. They are useless. Remember, strength is the king��s way!��


    Big Yellow��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Master Ye, what �� do you mean by this?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Give these things to them. In the future, when they beg to deliver it in front of me, I��ll still have to consider it! There��s also no problem with them making us withdraw out of the Five Great Heavenly Regions. Let��s return to Heavenly South!��


    ��What?!�� Big Yellow and Luo Yunqing said in unison, both surprised to the extreme.


    Even Saint Exalt Waycloud and Saint Exalt Bull Demon they all had disbelieving faces too.


    Ye Yuan actually really agreed!

 Chapter 2781 - : Pointing at the Firmament With the Sword, Seeking Dao With the Sword!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You guys, Ye Yuan has been very calm all along. Could he really have some backup plan?�� After Ye Yuan��s party left, Saint Exalt Bull Demon could not resist asking.


    It was truly that Ye Yuan behaved too calmly.


    Anyone who suffered this kind of treatment would be indignant, but Ye Yuan was not.


    From start to end, he was like an onlooker observing from the sidelines.


    Many powerhouses present were extremely apprehensive of Ye Yuan.


    Got to admit, Ye Yuan��s attitude made them somewhat nervous in their hearts.


    Waycloud smiled coldly and said, ��Don��t you forget, it��s Heavenly Dao that cut off his path forward, and not us! Someone abandoned by Heaven, do you all feel that he has a chance to turn things around?��


    The moment everyone heard, they immediately calmed down a lot.


    Yeah, Heaven wanted you dead. Could you still overturn the heavens?


    ��You��re right! No matter how breathtaking the genius, they aren��t greater than the heavens too! From now on, there��s only the Four Great Heavenly Regions!�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune said.


    �� ��


    It was silent all the way. After returning to the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, Luo Yunqing finally could not hold back anymore.


    ��Ye Yuan, you can leave if you want to! I��m going to fight it out to the death with them here! Even if my bones are ground to dust, I won��t let them take a step into Martial Secure Heavenly Sect too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You, a newly ascended Saint Sovereign Heaven, even if your bones are ground to dust, can it stop them from stepping into the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect?? This place is merely a wasteland. So what if we give it to them?��


    During the great battle, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect was the primary battlefield.


    So many Saint Sovereign Heavens fighting, plus the Eight Legions War Generals�� self-detonation, the entire sect was long already a wasteland.


    But Luo Yunqing had extremely deep feelings for the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect.


    Now, having just destroyed the Pill Alliance and being able to rebuild the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect, but suddenly getting chased away to the Land of Heavenly South, he could not accept it.


    The Land of Heavenly South was merely a tiny place, that was all.


    In terms of area, it was only one-quarter of a heavenly region.


    How could Luo Yunqing be willing?


    ��Ye Yuan, your Martial Dao is severed. Could it be that even your hotbloodedness was erased too? If we were to really join forces, we might not lose to them!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Luo Yunqing deeply and said, ��Brother Luo, so what if we revive the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect? Even if the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect rules Rainclear Continent like the Pill Alliance, so what? This place is merely a desolate land. That��s all! Could it be that your horizons are really only limited to these?��


    ��The five great heavenly sects�� people have always been curious. Why Zhuo Bufan that kind of heaven��s chosen would suddenly go missing. Today, let me tell you. He went to the other side of the sea! He knew that if he stayed in Rainclear Continent, he would only be sitting in the well and looking at the sky. That��s all! Don��t you want to take a look at the world outside?��


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed drastically, and he said in surprise, ��How do you know ����


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I saw the sword energy that he left behind in the sea!��


    Luo Yunqing��s heart shook wildly. It turned out that Lord Zhuo really crossed the sea!


    ��But �� But the Martial Secure Heavenly Sect ����


    Ye Yuan cut him off and said coolly, ��Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s Dao teachings naturally have to be passed down! This is giving an account to Sect Master and also giving an account to Elder He! However, it isn��t now! There��s no meaning in showing off momentary bravery!��


    Luo Yunqing looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment and said in surprise, ��You �� This is impossible! Your road of martial arts has already been cut off by Heavenly Dao!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��My fate is up to me, not up to Heaven!��


    �� ��


    On this day, Martial Secure Heavenly Sect��s entire sect moved south.


    Saying that it was the entire sect, there were actually not many people.


    However, in the wake of Ye Yuan killing Changsheng with one sword, many of Martial Secure��s old subordinates returned too.


    Wu Chengchao, Lin Lan, Wen Jingxuan, these people, all escaped death by a fluke because of Ye Yuan��s Hundred Poison Formation back then.


    Now, hearing that Ye Yuan returned, they naturally returned to the sect.


    Apart from them, there were also over 300 people that returned to Martial Secure Heavenly Sect too.


    As for the other four sects, they were not so lucky.


    They had less than 200 people when added up.


    These 500 over people were the last force of the former Five Light Heavenly Region.


    However, because the other regions rejected ascenders, there were several thousand ascenders that followed the five great heavenly sects and migrated to the Land of Heavenly South.


    After this, Big Yellow also completely broke away from the Myriad Demons Mountain and joined the faction of Heavenly South.


    The present Land of Heavenly South had Luo Yunqing three people plus Heavenly South��s four great Saint Exalts, plus two ascender Saint Exalts, as well as Ye Yuan and Big Yellow. There were 11 great Saint Exalt Heavens!


    In terms of numbers, they were really not weak.


    It was just that most of these people had just broken through. Their foundation was too weak.


    There was actually only Big Yellow alone who deserved to be called a combat power.


    In reality, what those Five Great Heavenly Regions powerhouses were truly afraid of was also just Big Yellow.


    Otherwise, if the five great heavenly regions wanted to migrate, they probably really could not have done it.


    However, everything was not important anymore.


    Arriving at the Land of Heavenly South, Ye Yuan arrived above the sea and sat down suspended in the air.


    An enormous Tai Chi diagram slowly unfurled above Ye Yuan��s head.


    That appearance seemed to be comprehending heaven and earth.


    ��Kid, have you really thought it through? Taking this step is certain death!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Road is forged by people, and it is not bestowed by the heaven! In this life, starting from the Immortal Grove World, I��ve been going against the heaven! Great Dao crumbling, I��ll go contrary to Dao with alchemy, and reach Divine Dao! When the Heavenspan World was refined by someone with a great divine ability, I created my own cultivation method and transformed Dao to shatter the sky! In this 33 Heavens, since Heavenly Dao doesn��t tolerate me, then I��ll point at the firmament with my sword and seek Dao with the sword!��


    Boom!


    As he said, Ye Yuan��s chaos world exploded with a loud bang!


    A terrifying energy undulation set off a series of tsunamis.


    At this moment, countless gazes looked towards the sea.


    Luo Yunqing��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in surprise, ��What a strong world power! Ye Yuan, he shattered his own small world. He �� What does he want to do?��


    Small world! It was where the foundation of martial artists lay!


    If the world collapsed, Martial Dao would be destroyed!


    Ye Yuan actually shattered his own small world!


    This action shocked everyone.


    Big Yellow had an extremely deep comprehension in Great Dao, but he detected a trace of an unusual crisis.


    ��Master Ye �� wants to reestablish after destruction! But �� does Heavenly Dao allow it?�� Big Yellow murmured.


    Ye Yuan spent countless efforts to condense and form this chaos world.


    To say that he was reluctant, he was naturally extremely reluctant!


    But at this moment, he proceeded without hesitation!


    There were geniuses in the world that were not tolerated by Heavenly Dao!


    It was not just Ye Yuan alone who had their path of cultivation stripped away by Heavenly Dao.


    The 33 Heavens were extremely vast. There were countless powerhouses and geniuses, being plentiful like clouds!


    There were also peerless heaven��s chosens who were not tolerated by Heavenly Dao.


    These heaven��s chosens were naturally unwilling to have their Martial Dao cut off henceforth.


    Hence, they forged a path: a road that went against heaven!


    Snatching fate from heaven, going against heaven!


    Ye Yuan��s chaos world collapsed, but it was not obliterated. Instead, it gathered toward the Tai Chi diagram.


    The Tai Chi slowly rotated. Countless energies were condensed in it.


    An illusory sword gradually solidified, standing upside down in the center of the Tai Chi diagram, pointing at the firmament with the sword!


    Crack! Crack!


    Dark clouds gathered in the sky above the sea, lightning flashing.


    It was as if the world was going to be destroyed in the next second!

 Chapter 2782 - Getting Stronger the More He Fought!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Heavenly Dao �� is enraged!�� Big Yellow looked toward the horizon and muttered.


    But Luo Yunqing stomped his feet in anxiety and shouted angrily, ��This boy is too reckless! Pointing at heaven with the sword, isn��t this seeking death?��


    This sword was not an ordinary sword, but Ye Yuan��s Dao sword!


    This Dao sword was condensed and formed from Ye Yuan��s lifetime cultivation!


    This sword pointing at heaven was questioning the way of heaven!


    It was provoking Heavenly Dao!


    How could it be tolerated?


    Myriad Demons Mountain, Saint Exalt Bull Demon, Saint Exalt Giant Ape, and the rest looked at the firmament from afar, incredibly shocked.


    ��Is this guy mad?��


    ��Pointing at the sky with the sword, the firmament is furious! It will probably bring down Dao tribulation again this time, right?��


    ��Most likely, he��s going to immediately transcend a two-nine Dao tribulation! Tsk tsk, not resigning himself to circumstances and experiencing life and death! Ye Yuan is going to force himself into a desperate situation so that he can risk it all! However �� can he pull through?��


    The three great Saint Exalts could not help snickering when they saw this scene from afar.


    Confronting Heaven was clearly an act of courting death.


    Originally, he could drag out an ignorable existence. However, he insisted on bringing about his own destruction.


    Extremely far away, Saint Exalt Waycloud and the rest of the Saint Sovereign Heavens were startled one after another.


    They moved out in succession and gathered in the sky above Myriad Demons Mountain.


    ��Huhu, this kid is indeed a restless one. His last resort should be this, right? That��s good too. Since he��s taking the road to ruin himself, it saves us the trouble of having to take action,�� Saint Exalt Waycloud could not help laughing as he said.


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune laughed in spite of himself and said, ��He really dares to point at heaven with his sword! Asking heaven if it��s unfair? Does he have this qualification?��


    Waycloud smiled and said, ��Let��s just watch a good show here.��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan pointed his sword at the sky. Heavenly Dao was enraged and sent down Dao tribulation.


    The sensation caused this time was even more terrifying than that time previously.


    In less than a year, Ye Yuan triggered a Dao tribulation again. This sort of thing was simply unheard of since ancient times.


    Two-nine Dao tribulation; it meant two nine laws Dao tribulations!


    This was also to say that the Dao tribulation raining down this time was 18 power of rules!


    Nine laws Dao tribulation was already terrifying to the extreme.


    The power of a two-nine Dao tribulation was naturally even more terrifying.


    But the Ye Yuan who was in the center of the storm seemed to be completely clueless.


    He was condensing his own Dao!


    The sword in the Tai Chi diagram became larger and larger and increasingly solid!


    The aura also became more and more horrifying.


    And following the solidification of this sword, the aura coming from above the avoid also became more and more terrifying.


    ��Kid, you can really stir trouble! A two-nine Dao tribulation is likely no match for this aura! I reckon that it might very likely be straight-up a three-nine Dao tribulation!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Who cares how many nine laws Dao tribulation it is! Regardless of how many that will come, I��ll receive them! I��ll bet my Dao and defy this heaven!��


    Mi Tian said with a cold snort, ��Don��t blame me for not warning you. This sword is connected to your life now. If the Dao sword shatters, your life will be gone!��


    Ye Yuan was not betting his Dao but betting his life!


    Condensing Dao sword was giving up on following heaven. In the future, he could only go against heaven and change his fate!


    Each step would be a hundred times harder than other martial artists!


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Rather than willingly be ordinary, why not defy heaven and change fate!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly got up, looked at the sky from afar, and muttered, ��It��s here!��


    Boom!


    His voice had yet to fade when a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.


    The ocean was directly blown apart.


    Ye Yuan only felt an overwhelming force, as if going to crush him.


    ��Three-nine Dao tribulation! This boy really provoked the wrath of heaven!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud��s expression changed abruptly as he said.


    Even when separated so far away, his heart also jumped fiercely at this sound of thunder clapping.


    It could be imagined what kind of enormous pressure Ye Yuan who was located at the center of the storm would have to bear!


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune smiled and said, ��You all try to guess. How many bolts of Dao tribulation can he make it through?��


    ��Three!��


    ��Five!��


    ��Nine!�� Saint Exalt Waycloud glanced at everyone and said smilingly, ��Got to say, this boy is a peerless genius, overwhelming the present era! Even if it��s three-nine Dao tribulation, it��s impossible for him to survive nine too!��


    ��I ask heaven with my Dao! Go!��


    Ye Yuan bellowed, his palm pushing toward the sky!


    The giant sword pierced right through the sky and met with this clap of thunder!


    This clap of thunder was invisible!


    27 power of rules was all in this invisible clap of thunder.


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud noise. The ocean was directly divided into two halves, deep until the bottom could be seen!


    Ye Yuan gave a muffled groan, fresh blood spurting wildly from his mouth.


    Fine cracks actually appeared on his Dao sword!


    ��Damn it! Three-nine Dao tribulation is too strong. Master Ye can��t hold on at all! At this rate, I��m afraid that when the third Dao tribulation falls, his Dao sword will shatter!�� Big Yellow said anxiously when he saw the situation.


    Each and every one of the Land of Heavenly South��s powerhouses had solemn expressions.


    Suddenly, Luo Yunqing��s expression changed, and he said, ��You guys, look! His Dao sword is repairing!��


    Big Yellow took a closer look and said in surprise, ��He �� He��s using the power of rules in the Dao tribulation to repair the Dao sword and strengthen it!��


    When the Dao tribulation landed, it naturally would not return to nothingness immediately.


    The rule fragments would scatter around before becoming one with heaven and earth!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was absorbing these rule fragments to strengthen itself!


    Very soon, not only was Ye Yuan��s Dao sword as good as new, it became even more solid instead!


    Ye Yuan raised his head to the sky and howled loudly, ��Again!��


    As if sensing Ye Yuan��s provocation, another series of Dao tribulation exploded with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan raised his sword and charged again!


    Boom!


    It exploded again!


    Ye Yuan��s entire body was dyed in blood, but he became more courageous the more he fought.


    His Dao sword absorbed the rule fragments and solidified again!


    ��Hahaha �� you want to sever my road of martial arts; I��ll seize your Great Dao rules! So what if it��s the road of defying heaven?��


    Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky, akin to a fiend god, letting out a loud laugh.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Bolts of Dao tribulation lightning landed, the power becoming stronger each time.


    But Ye Yuan grew stronger the more he fought!


    His cultivation realm also advanced crazily in this Dao tribulation!


    Not only did the Dao tribulation not beat him down, it made Ye Yuan achieve success instead.


    In the sea of consciousness, Mi Tian was staring dumbfoundedly.


    The road of defying heaven could still be walked like this?


    Seizing the Dao of heaven and feeding it back to himself!


    ��This boy �� is really a wonder! The Dao tribulation of divergent cultivators is a lot stronger than ordinary martial artists. Each time, it��s walking on the edge of death. This boy is good, to actually use this kind of method to overcome the tribulation!�� Mi Tian was rendered speechless.


    But he knew that even if it��s a divergent cultivator, it was virtually impossible to want to achieve this too!


    Plundering Dao tribulation fragments, this in itself required an extremely deep understanding of Great Dao.


    These fragments could not be grabbed and used but needed to be rearranged.


    Randomly absorbing them, not only would there be no benefits, it would cause great harm to oneself instead.


    Forget that Ye Yuan was just a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven. Even a Hegemon Realm powerhouse might not be able to accomplish it!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Above the sky, claps of thunder fell, each fiercer than the last.


    But Ye Yuan was akin to a stubborn rock, not budging an inch!


    Although he was seriously injured, after the baptism of Dao tribulation, his cultivation realm obtained rapid growth.


    Finally, the Dao tribulation seemed to be tired too, vanishing into thin air.


    Everything returned to tranquility.


    And Ye Yuan��s sword was still pointing to the sky proudly!


    But his realm improved further and reached middle-stage lower Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Everyone paying attention to Ye Yuan overcoming the tribulation was completely stunned.

    ��Three-nine Dao tribulation �� He transcended it?�� Waycloud muttered under his breath, clearly still not daring to believe it until now.


    ��S-Seems like it?�� Saint Exalt Skyfortune murmured.


    ��He can��t even transform Great Dao. How can he possibly transcend three-nine Dao tribulation? To transcend the three-nine Dao tribulation, one needs to at least be an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven. Furthermore, an extremely strong existence among upper Saint Sovereign Heavens! Doesn��t that mean that he already has this strength?��


    As Saint Exalt Waycloud said, he could not help shuddering.


    If that was the case, that meant that not only did Ye Yuan��s combat power not regress, but it was also even stronger than before!


    If he fought with Li Changsheng again, Ye Yuan might even be able to confront him head-on!


    This was scary!


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune looked at Waycloud and said with a bitter smile, ��Have we �� offended him badly?��


    The moment these words came out, the Saint Sovereign Heavens present could not help but shudder.


    Waycloud shook his head and said, ��I don��t believe that he can still cultivate!��


    Saint Exalt Skyfortune smiled bitterly again and said, ��Whether he can cultivate or not, his strength is placed there! There��s probably no one stronger than him in our Rainclear Continent!��


    Everyone exchanged glances, suddenly feeling at a loss on what to do.


    On the other side, Saint Exalt Bull Demon and the rest of Myriad Demons Mountain��s Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were also dumbstruck with amazement.


    Ye Yuan actually really gained a new lease on life!


    One had to know, it was precisely them who threw a rock down the well at the crucial moment!


    At this time, there was only bitterness left in the hearts of the Myriad Demons Mountain��s Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    �� ��


    Very soon, the Five Great Heavenly Regions and Myriad Demons Mountain��s Saint Sovereign Heavens received an invitation.


    This invitation was inviting them to head to the seven great sea regions to have a talk.


    The Saint Sovereign Heavens who received the invitation were all rather baffled.


    Go to the seven great sea regions to do what?


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens were not fools. They knew that Ye Yuan definitely invited them over to demonstrate his martial prowess.


    However, at this time, they also really wanted to see if Ye Yuan really rose again from the ashes, or he was simply making an empty show of strength.


    In the sky above the nameless island, sword energy was awe-inspiring.


    Luo Yunqing felt this sword intent in addition to being overjoyed. There was an additional hint of shock.


    This sword intent was too pure, too powerful!


    His strength advanced by leaps and bounds during these over 100 years.


    But his Great Dao Transformation was still stagnant at the third for.


    But the sword energy on the nameless island was left behind in the fifth form!


    The disparity between the two could not be measured with distance!


    ��I��ve always been following Lord Zhuo��s footsteps, but I didn��t know that he was actually already formidable to such an extent when he left Rainclear Continent!�� Luo Yunqing exclaimed.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Zhuo Bufan is indeed amazingly talented. Therefore, there��s already nothing on this tiny little Rainclear Continent that can satisfy him. Without opponents, invincibility is the loneliest!��


    Luo Yunqing nodded slightly, deeply in agreement too.


    ��Ye Yuan, just how strong is your current strength?�� Luo Yunqing could not resist asking.


    After overcoming the tribulation on that day, Ye Yuan did not expose his strength.


    Luo Yunqing naturally knew what he invited those Saint Sovereign Heavens here for.


    Therefore, he also really wanted to know how strong Ye Yuan was now.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said smilingly, ��You��ll know very soon. Oh right, the Sword Dao that you walk is quite similar to Zhuo Bufan��s. The sword energy that he left behind is helpful to you. You go in and try comprehending on the sword.��


    Luo Yunqing nodded slightly, wielding the sword and entering the island.


    Luo Yunqing was very strong!


    He charged right to the depths of the island with one sword by himself.


    But in the end, he still withdrew in defeat.


    However, he was not discouraged either, rushing into the depths of the island time and again.


    Just like this, a month passed.


    And at this time, Waycloud and the rest of the Saint Sovereign Heavens also arrived in succession.


    There were dozens of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in the sky above the nameless island for a time!


    Waycloud looked toward Saint Exalt Bull Demon, opened his mouth, and said, ��Fellow Daoist Bull Demon, someone wants to take so many of us down a notch!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon snorted coldly and said, ��That will also have to depend on whether he has this ability or not!��


    Waycloud smiled and said, ��True. On our two sides, there are no less than 50 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses! If he wants to take us down a notch and establish an advantageous position, he��ll also have to weigh it over!��


    Previously, they were divided into two camps.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon originally looked down on Waycloud they all too.


    It was not that Waycloud they all were weak, but it was that the territorial awareness of true spirit saint exalts was extremely strong. They were not willing to interfere in the matters outside of the Myriad Demons Mountain.


    But now, Ye Yuan broke through, and his strength was unknown. They had no choice but to join hands.


    Previously, they all targeted Ye Yuan.


    If they still did not join hands now, then they could only be defeated individually.


    With over 50 Saint Exalt powerhouses, it was virtually five times that of Ye Yuan��s side!


    Furthermore, they even had a large group of middle Saint Sovereign Heavens. They naturally had the confidence.


    These words were all said for Ye Yuan to hear.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan was as calm as before, as if everything had nothing to do with him.


    Ye Yuan��s attitude made Waycloud somewhat irritated. He gave a cold snort and said, ��Ye Yuan, what did you call us here for? Do you really think that we��re scared of you?��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, and he said, ��Brother Luo broke through!��


    Sure enough, in the depths of the island, Luo Yunqing��s sword intent surged to the sky, and he actually broke through to the fourth form!


    One month of bitter cultivation was greatly beneficial to him!


    The faces of Waycloud and the rest could not help changing.


    Luo Yunqing��s Great Dao Transformation breaking through to the fourth form meant that he had the strength to have a battle with them too!


    The strength of Heavenly South��s Saint Exalts rose a level again.


    Waycloud sneered and said, ��This is your bargaining chip? What a joke! You take a look first; how many Saint Sovereign Heavens our two sides have!��


    Ye Yuan looked towards Saint Exalt Waycloud and said with a smile, ��Brother Waycloud, are you interested in going in to play?��


    Waycloud was taken aback and said with a cold smile, ��So what if Zhuo Bufan? It��s also not that he is here. Could it be that this exalt is really scared of a stream of sword energy?��


    Very soon, Luo Yunqing came out, excitement on his face. Looking at Waycloud and the rest, he was full of fighting spirit.


    Ye Yuan indicated for him to calm down. Waycloud gave a cold snort and leaped, entering the sword energy.


    Waycloud had the intention of showing his strength. The moment he made his move, his momentum was unstoppable!


    Coupled with the grandmist treasure in his hand, his combat power skyrocketed!


    He entered the depths of the island in one go.


    After breaking through to middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, Waycloud��s strength increased greatly too.


    His strength was even stronger than Luo Yunqing, and he rushed even deeper in.


    Seeing Saint Exalt Waycloud��s strength, their side also heaved a slight sigh in relief.


    Their side, together with Saint Exalt Bull Demon and the rest, the middle Saint Sovereign Heavens were no less than ten!


    This force was sufficient to rival Ye Yuan!


    An hour later, Waycloud came out of the island somewhat out of breath.


    However, he had a proud look!


    The depth that he made it to was much deeper than Luo Yunqing.


    And this also demonstrated that his strength was much stronger than Luo Yunqing.


    Relying on one Luo Yunqing to suppress him?


    Got to be kidding!


    ��How is it, Ye Yuan?�� Waycloud looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile.


    But Ye Yuan did not answer. He turned to Saint Exalt Bull Demon and said with a smile, ��Brother Bull Demon, go in and play too?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon gave a cold snort and flew in too!

 Chapter 2784 - A Game!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Within the valley of the island, rumbling sounds lingered incessantly.


    The expressions of the group of Saint Sovereign Heavens also changed slightly.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon was well-deserving of being a veteran Saint Sovereign Heaven. His strength was truly shocking and was actually even stronger than Waycloud!


    After around two hours, Saint Exalt Bull Demon also came while panting.


    ��Ye Yuan, can this exalt��s strength still enter your sights?�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said in a solemn voice.


    In order to show his strength, he risked his old life this time too.


    The distance that he dashed forward was a great deal more than that of Saint Exalt Waycloud.


    However, this stream of sword energy was really strong!


    Rainclear Continent��s number one person back then, Zhuo Bufan, was really not for show!


    Even if it was sword energy that had been left before for tens of thousands of years, he actually could not break through it!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Bull Demon��s strength is indeed extraordinary! I��m afraid that among this Rainclear Continent��s true spirits, apart from Big Yellow, you��re the strongest!��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon gave a cold snort but did not justify anything.


    Ever since Big Yellow followed Ye Yuan, his strength advanced at a tremendous pace.


    Especially that Coquettish Profligate Hoof. Although the posture was very strange, the power was really strong.


    If Saint Exalt Bull Demon faced off against Big Yellow, he would most likely lose.


    ��Humph! Don��t just be all bark and no bite! Ye Yuan, we��ve already gone down to play. Since you want to take us down a notch, shouldn��t you go down and play yourself too?�� Waycloud said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan was not in a hurry either, saying with a smile, ��Two fellow daoists, what do you think about this sword energy?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon snorted coldly and said, ��This sword energy is unparalleledly overbearing. The deeper you go, the stronger it becomes! Even if a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven comes, it��s impossible to make it through too!��


    Waycloud smiled coldly and said, ��Zhuo Bufan��s work is naturally extremely strong! Within Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, no one can make it past this sword energy at all! However, what does that have to do with you? Don��t tell me that this sword energy was left behind by you!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head as he smiled and said to Luo Yunqing, ��Brother Luo, let me borrow your sword!��


    Luo Yunqing directly threw his sword to Ye Yuan without a word.


    The Dragon Spring Sword had already been completely disintegrated when killing Li Changsheng.


    Ye Yuan caught Luo Yunqing��s sword. No one saw him make any flashy moves either. It was just a light swing.


    Boom!


    The seawater directly had a large gulf being cleaved apart!


    And this sword directly passed through the rift area of the island, joining together with Zhuo Bufan��s sword!


    But very soon, the ocean healed, and everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened.


    The faces of everyone present changed abruptly.


    The eyes of Luo Yunqing and Big Yellow and the others it up.


    ��What a powerful sword! This sword of yours actually directly replaced the sword energy left behind by Lord Zhuo! This shows that your sword is stronger than Lord Zhuo��s sword!�� Luo Yunqing praised heavily.


    ��Huhu, this sword has experienced several tens of thousands of years. It no longer has the sharpness of back then long ago! I��m afraid that seven parts out of ten parts of Zhuo Bufan��s sword is gone, with only 30% of its power left!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan was modest, but those present were all powerhouses. How could they not discern this sword��s fierceness?


    Ye Yuan actually used his own sword energy and replaced Zhuo Bufan��s sword energy!


    Yes, it was replaced!


    This sword of Ye Yuan��s seemed casual. But actually, the angle of executing the move completely superimposed with Zhuo Bufan��s sword.


    But the power was even stronger!


    Not only did he erase Zhuo Bufan��s sword energy, he even replaced Zhuo Bufan��s sword energy with his own sword energy!


    What was even scarier was that the two islands were not damaged in the slightest!


    This sword move, the requirement toward the swordsman was hair-raisingly strict.


    Even if one��s power was sufficient, if there was the slightest mistake, it could only incur derision too.


    But Ye Yuan did it perfectly!


    This was an extremely terrifying sword move!


    The expressions of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present changed one after another.


    Logically speaking, this sword could only be achieved by Great Dao Transformation powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan clearly did not transform Great Dao just now. How could he unleash such a frightening sword?


    What was even more damning was that Ye Yuan was too effortless just now!


    Who knew whether he used his full strength or not?


    If he did not, then just how strong was his current strength?


    Waycloud and the rest no longer dared to continue imagining.


    In front of absolute strength, numbers were merely clay chickens and pottery dogs!


    Back then, if not for Ye Yuan severely wounding Li Changsheng with Dao tribulation, even 60 Saint Sovereign Heavens would not be enough. Even if 80 came, it was no use either!


    Now, this sword of Ye Yuan��s was enough to disregard numbers!


    This opening gambit was really too big!


    Ye Yuan threw the sword back to Luo Yunqing and said to Waycloud and the others smilingly, ��Anyone else going down to play again? This Ye also doesn��t know how big the gap is between the sword energy that I left behind compared to Zhuo Bufan��s. I hope that someone can help me appraise it.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed one after another.


    What was this playing at?


    Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Yuan smiled and said again, ��Just playing a game! As long as you all make it into the rift, our grudges from before will be written off. How��s that?��


    Waycloud��s expression turned dark, and he said, ��Is this true?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Ye has always kept my word!��


    Waycloud��s gaze swept, looking at one of the Saint Sovereign Heaven, he said, ��Ming Yi, you go!��


    Ming Yi��s expression changed wildly, and he said, ��Based on what that it��s me?��


    Waycloud sneered and said, ��Based on the fact that your strength is the weakest! Otherwise, you can try fighting us!��


    Saint Exalt Ming Yi was the Saint Sovereign Heaven of a great heavenly sect too. However, he was just a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven. His strength was the weakest.


    He looked towards the other Saint Sovereign Heavens and discovered that Skyfortune and the rest seemed to have this intention too.


    With this, he had no choice!


    Ming Yi gritted his teeth and said, ��Alright!��


    Finished saying, he leaped and charged over.


    As soon as he entered the range of the sword energy, Ming Yi felt that something was not right.


    This sword energy was too sharp!


    The sword energy poured over from all directions, virtually leaving him unable to resist!


    And this was still several tens of thousands of feet away from the rift area!


    However, he was a Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse at any rate. Completely unleashing his strength, he forcefully shook the sword energy off.


    Ming Yi went all out and charged toward the rift area crazily.


    Pffft!


    Very soon, Ming Yi was directly minced by the countless sword energy!


    Waycloud and Bull Demon exchanged a glance, their complexions deathly pale.


    This sword energy seemed to be unusual!


    No matter how weak Ming Yi was, that was a Saint Sovereign Heaven too!


    Even if he could not rush over, it was also not to the extent of being garroted at such a far distance, right?


    Just now, Ming Yi only rushed to 20 thousand feet and was annihilated.


    They could not feel the sharpness of the swift and fierce at all outside.


    But they were not dumb. The power of Ye Yuan��s sword energy was significantly stronger than Zhuo Bufan��s sword energy!


    How did this guy do it?


    ��Huhu, it looks like Saint Exalt Ming Yi��s strength is somewhat lacking! Brother Waycloud, are you interested in going down to play again? I think that with your strength, it��s just about able to make it into the rift,�� Ye Yuan looked towards Saint Exalt Waycloud and said with a smile.


    Waycloud��s expression changed wildly!


    A distance of 20 thousand feet, could he be this much stronger than Ming Yi?


    He had no confidence!


    After entering, it was likely difficult to want to come out again!


    Suddenly, Waycloud directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a thud, and he cried tearfully, ��Fellow Daoist Ye, I was wrong! S-Spare my measly life!��

 Chapter 2785 - If You Had Long Known What Would Happen Today, Why Behave Like That Back Then!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    No one felt that Waycloud was disgraceful. This was because each of them was very frightened.


    The stream of sword energy that Ye Yuan left behind actually directly garroted a Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Then how strong was he now?


    Inestimable!


    One had to know, even the sword energy that Zhuo Bufan left behind could not kill them!


    Previously, they all thought that Ye Yuan had his road of martial arts cut off, directly exiling him to the Land of Heavenly South.


    But now, Ye Yuan experienced three-nine Dao tribulation and soared to the heavens in one move!


    Although his cultivation realm did not increase much, his strength made tremendous improvements and already towered above everyone!


    If he wanted to kill people, no one could escape!


    ��Ye Yuan, it was all this exalt��s fault previously! This exalt was blinded by obsession too, p-please forgive me!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon also said fearfully.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Huhu, this Ye merely invited everyone here to exchange notes on Martial Dao. Is everyone thinking too much? Alright, the comparing of notes is already pretty much done. Let��s go back to our own homes. Brother Luo, Big Yellow, let��s go!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan ignored the dumbfounded crowd and left straightaway.


    Seeing Ye Yuan disappeared on the horizon, Saint Exalt Waycloud��s entire body relaxed, his shirt already drenched.


    Just now, the pressure that Ye Yuan gave to him was suffocating!


    ��W-What does he mean by this? Could it be that �� he��s letting us off just like this?�� One of the Saint Sovereign Heavens said with a dazed look.


    ��Let us off? Huhu, how is that possible? Have you forgotten what he said at the Pill Alliance��s mountain pass gates?�� Skyfortune said with a bitter smile.


    That Saint Sovereign Heaven��s expression changed, and he said, ��He �� He wants us to hand over the Pill Alliance��s fortune with both hands?��


    Upon Skyfortune��s reminder, he remembered too.


    Ye Yuan once said that in the future, even if they all delivered it in front of him, he would still have to consider it!


    At that time, everyone present thought that that was merely just desperately upholding face. That was all.


    But who knew that in this short few months�� time, Ye Yuan��s words really came true!


    ��Deliver with both hands? Huhu, if it was so simple, that would be good! Back then, we directly excluded Heavenly South because of momentary greed. Now, we��ll probably have to repay it twofold! Waycloud, you��ve caused me much harm!�� Saint Exalt Bull Demon said with a cold snort.


    Waycloud snorted coldly and said, ��Don��t forget, your All-Saint Temple took 60%! Now, you��re criticizing after it��s already over?��


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon said in a great rage, ��If not for your beguiling, how could this exalt have done this sort of thing!��


    ��Rubbish! It was clearly you who coveted the wealth. Now you want to put the blame on me? Alright! If you throw to me, Ye Yuan got to accept it too for it to work!�� Waycloud said without giving in at all.


    ��Enough!��


    Saint Exalt Purplesun gave a cold yell, saying in a solemn voice, ��You all should be content! If not bearing in mind that we took action against the Pill Alliance and didn��t deal a killing blow to him afterward, we��d long be dead! Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan is an extremely rule-abiding person. If we didn��t discriminate against him afterward and didn��t chase the five great heavenly sects out of Five Great Heavenly Regions, he wouldn��t do anything to us now! This matter is ultimately us who went overboard!��


    ��It��s too late to say anything now! At this time, we can only each skin our own skunk and show our sincerity! If the sincerity isn��t enough, Ye Yuan won��t let us off!��


    Finished saying, Saint Exalt Purplesun leaped and vanished into the horizon.


    �� ��


    A month later, the remote Heavenly South City became lively.


    One Saint Sovereign Heaven after another stepped into Heavenly South City in fear and trepidation.


    No one dared to step in here via flight!


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens all landed outside of the city, then walked into the city.


    ��Younger Brother Luo, here is all the wealth that our Seven-star Heavenly Sect acquired at the Pill Alliance. We offer them all up now! Apart from these, we even prepared some small gifts. Younger Brother Luo, please kindly accept them!��


    At this time, Saint Exalt Waycloud��s attitude was very humble.


    For the sake of the apology this time, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect could be said to have become bankrupt this time!


    Apart from the wealth obtained at the Pill Alliance, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect even took out more than 70% of their sect��s wealth to apologize to Ye Yuan.


    This could be said to be, tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice!


    Luo Yunqing sat on the seat of honor, his face expressionless, and he did not respond either.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was anxious until his forehead was covered in sweat. He knew that he was the most unwelcome one. Wanting to obtain Luo Yunqing��s forgiveness was much harder than the rest!


    But at this time, he had no choice.


    Ye Yuan completely refused to meet him. He could only think of every way possible to satisfy Luo Yunqing!


    Suddenly, he gritted his teeth. Taking out a sword, he offered it up with both hands and said, ��This Cloudsky Sword was gifted by Younger Brother Ye! Younger Brother Luo is still using a heavenly spirit treasure now. Using this sword will be just right!��


    Luo Yunqing did not refuse, playing with the Cloudsky Sword for a moment, then he put it away.


    ��The grandmist treasures in your hands were all gifted by Ye Yuan! Now, it��s merely returning to the original owner. That��s all. Look at how it��s making your flesh hurt!�� Luo Yunqing said with a cold smile.


    Saint Exalt Waycloud smiled helplessly. He really could not bear to part with it!


    With a grandmist treasure, his combat power would increase by at least 30%!


    Now, he actually had to hand it back. He was naturally unwilling.


    Luo Yunqing glanced at him indifferently and said, ��Just these?��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud hurriedly said, ��Of course, there��s more! With regards to Younger Brother Ye��s suggestion, we feel that it��s very right! Regardless of whether it is native powerhouses or ascenders, those are all Heavenly Stratum powerhouses and shouldn��t make distinctions between each other! From now on, the Seven-star Heavenly Sect will no longer be hostile to ascenders and allow ascenders to enter the sect! In addition, Heavenly South is a tiny place after all. Our various sects have already pulled out of the Five Light Heavenly Region. We welcome the three great ascender heavenly sects to return.��


    The five great heavenly sects only had three sects that still had Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses presently.


    Only the other two sects did not have Saint Sovereign Heavens. They also had merely a few disciples in the sect. They basically only existed in name.


    The five great heavenly sects only had three great heavenly sects left now.


    Luo Yunqing gave him a nonchalant glance and said, ��At least you��re sensible! Ye Yuan has instructed it; this is the last chance! In the future, if you all still cause problems, bear the consequences yourselves!��


    ��Dare not! We dare not!��


    Saint Exalt Waycloud was overjoyed, repeatedly saying that he did not dare.


    While on the other side, Saint Exalt Bull Demon looked toward Big Yellow and was silent for a long time.


    ��If you had long known what would happen today, why behave like that back then!�� Big Yellow said with a cold snort.


    ��Sigh, this exalt knows that I was wrong! But now, it��s too late for regrets! Big Yellow, looking on the account that you and I are brothers, help out our Myriad Demons Mountain!��


    Big Yellow was someone who kept old friendships in mind, but he was very disappointed in Saint Exalt Bull Demon.


    Burning the bridge after crossing it, dropping a rock down the well, this was the repayment that Saint Exalt Bull Demon gave Ye Yuan!


    ��Humph! If not for Master Ye, could you have overcome the third Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation? The current you would probably have long turned into a pile of dirt! Brothers? That day, in the cave of the Pill Alliance, I begged you bitterly, but you? Did you think of brotherly feelings? Now, you know about brotherhood?�� Big Yellow said with a cold smile.


    Saint Exalt Bull Demon nodded and said, ��Big Yellow, your choice is correct! However, Myriad Demons Mountain is your hometown. At any rate, you can��t very well passively watch it be destroyed, right?��


    Big Yellow said coolly, ��Relax. On account of my face, Master Ye won��t make things difficult for the Myriad Demons Mountain! However, you all have to conduct yourselves well because this is the last chance!��

 Chapter 2786 - My Backer is Here!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Above the sea, it was calm and tranquil.


    One person and one bull were walking on the surface of the sea, strolling leisurely.


    ��Master Ye, is it alright for us to just leave like that?��


    ��Now that the Pill Pavilion is strong, Brother Luo��s strength left people far behind in the dust and already towers above everyone. Before I left, I also gave Li-er they all three life-protecting sword energy each. It won��t be a problem.��


    ��True, the Pill Pavilion��s status is aloof now. All sects require the Pill Pavilion��s help. At least within several hundred years, there won��t be any changes. However, since the Pill Pavilion rose up, Rainclear Continent��s martial path has become more flourishing. Master Ye made tremendous contributions! Master Ye has put in a lot of hard work for the Pill Pavilion these few years!��


    ��This is what I promised everyone. I naturally have to do it.��


    ��Unfortunately, that Pill Alliance��s ancient transmission array is actually a one-way teleportation. There are many dangers in the sea. We don��t know where we can go to either.��


    ��Huhu, that Zhuo Bufan can go; can��t I, Ye Yuan, go? I have a feeling that Zhuo Bufan must have reached the other side of the side!��


    �� ��


    This one human and one bull were precisely Ye Yuan and Big Yellow.


    Over 50 years had already passed since Ye Yuan compelled the Saint Sovereign Heavens to submission.


    In the past 50 years, most of Ye Yuan��s energy had been placed on the Pill Pavilion.


    Presently, the Pill Pavilion was already the Rainclear Continent��s transcendent existence, with countless powerhouses in it.


    Having obtained the resources of the Pill Alliance as well as the various sects, Ye Yuan also forcefully increased the strength of Yue Mengli and the others to the realm of Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    But when he left this time, Ye Yuan only brought Big Yellow with him.


    The sea was full of dangers. There were probably even True Sovereign Heaven Realm seafolks that existed.


    Although Ye Yuan��s strength was strong, if he ran into True Sovereign Heavens, it would really be inadequate.


    ��Big Yellow, we��ve already passed through the seven great sea regions. There are probably quite a few Saint Sovereign Heaven existences in the sea region ahead. Let��s restrain our auras and keep a low profile,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Yes!��


    The sea was vast. The two people traveled south all the way and did not even see the shadow of a ghost.


    However, this place already left the range of the seven great sea regions and reached the depths of the sea.


    The so-called seven great sea regions were merely the same as the Rainclear Continent, being a remote sea region; that was all.


    This depth of sea was the real crisis lurking in four corners.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Suddenly, there were indistinct figures ahead, spiritual energy surging. Clearly, there were powerhouses fighting.


    Furthermore, they were extremely strong, and the number was a lot.


    ��Damn girl! This time, you can forget about escaping!��


    ��You big turtle, why do you keep chasing me? Isn��t it just a turtle egg? Is there a need?��


    ��You little wench! stole Your Mother��s turtle egg and put it in Tian Kui that old fogey��s nest. Now, Your Mother��s son is born and doesn��t acknowledge Your Mother anymore! If I don��t kill you, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in this exalt��s heart!��


    ��Vile spawn, you connected to the earth��s core fire and burned this exalt��s dragon palace completely! ARGHH! This exalt is definitely going to tear you to shreds today!��


    ��Hey, how would I know that that place links to the earth��s core?��


    �� ��


    It was chaotic ahead.


    There were probably 30 to 40 Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses hunting down one person.


    Ye Yuan originally did not want to meddle in others�� business, but after taking a closer look, he frowned and said, ��Mn? Why does the person that they are hunting down seem to be Jingfei that lass?��


    Without waiting for him to wonder either, the person opposite who was being chased seemed to have seen Ye Yuan already and yelled, ��Oh my, Big Brother Ye Yuan, you��re here! If you didn��t come, Jingfei would be killed by people! Quick! Hurry up and come save me!��


    Who could the person being hunted down be if not Jingfei?


    When Ye Yuan saw this line-up, he could not help being dumbstruck with amazement.


    Just how many vile deeds did this lass commit, to actually attract the pursuit of dozens of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses?


    It was Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses front and back, the speed extremely fast.


    In a blink, Jingfei arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Swoosh!


    Jingfei hid behind Ye Yuan with a flash and made a funny face at the bunch of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses and said, ��Humph! My backer is here. See if you all still dare to chase! Keep chasing me, and Big Brother Ye Yuan will beat all of you down!��


    Then, she said to Ye Yuan pitifully, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, why did you only come now? Sniff, sniff �� I��ve been waiting for you for ten years! Did you look at how these people bullied me? I was almost killed!��


    ��Human boy, hand this lass over! Otherwise, we��ll kill you together!��


    ��Talk so much rubbish with him for what? Just a human bug, kill him together!��


    ��Huhu, this girlie said that this human is her backer! This girl is using a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven to scare us!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    �� ��


    When these Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses heard that, they all burst out laughing.


    Ye Yuan looked at Jingfei and could not resist rolling his eyes as he said crossly, ��You lass, how many things have you done that incurs both the wrath of heaven and men?��


    The present Jingfei already broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm too.


    However, after breaking through, her ability to cause trouble also increased greatly.


    But Ye Yuan was very surprised. This lass actually waited for him for ten years!


    Seriously?


    Jingfei had an innocent look as she said, ��I got bored of waiting for you. I had to find something to do.��


    Ye Yuan��s face became black as the bottom of a pot.


    This was not finding something to do. You��re turning this sea region upside down!


    Looking at these seafolks who were glaring like ravening tigers, this hurdle today was probably not so easy to clear.


    Ye Yuan said to the group of Saint Sovereign Heavens with clasped hands, ��I��m really sorry about it. My sister is young and ignorant, and she offended everyone. This Ye apologizes to everyone on her behalf! Looking on account of this Ye��s face, everyone, please lift your hand high up in mercy and let her off.��


    ��A lower Saint Sovereign Heaven dares to sell face too? You really don��t know how the word death is written!��


    The large turtle in front said disdainfully, ��Your face? How much is your face worth?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Ye��s face should still be worth some money.��


    The large turtle gave a cold snort and said, ��Reckless and blind thing. Since you��re courting death, then this exalt will send you off!��


    The large turtle roared and charged toward Ye Yuan while swaying its body.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and just pointed an ordinary finger out.


    Bang!


    The large turtle immediately flew out backward a thousand feet away!


    Everyone��s expression changed wildly!


    They knew that this large turtle was Xuanming Divine Turtle. Her cultivation realm already reached upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    This level of powerhouse was sent flying by Ye Yuan with one finger?


    ��Gah, pissing this exalt off! This boy is a little creepy. Everyone, attack together and finish this brat off. Then we kill that little wench!�� The large turtle roared and charged over again.


    Ye Yuan��s figure swayed, and he disappeared from where he was.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    In several breaths of time, Ye Yuan threw dozens of punches out.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    It was only to see one figure after another flying out like a fireworks display.


    Each person was merely one punch!


    Even Jingfei was dumbfounded from watching too.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, how did you become so incredible? Hehehe, I can do whatever I want in the future! This young lady wants to see who dares to provoke me!�� After the surprise, Jingfei clapped her hands in joy.

 Chapter 2787 - Nautical Chart

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan ignored Jingfei and said coolly, ��I wonder if this Ye��s face is still worth some money?��


    He already showed leniency just now and only sent these people flying.


    If not, these people would have been killed by him in one exchange.


    Although he was only a peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse currently, ever since embarking on the path of a divergent cultivator, his understanding of Great Dao became even deeper instead.


    Every movement and action showed its power even more!


    Of course, Jingfei this lass seemed to be fooling around, but she was not really an idiot either.


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens that she provoked were actually not considered too strong.


    If they were too strong, it would also have been impossible for Jingfei to escape from so many people with her life.


    A giant crab had a fearful look as he said to the large turtle, ��Wu Tuan, this boy is so strong!��


    Each and every one of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present was terrified too.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was too strong. Just now, if he dealt a killing blow, they would already be dead.


    The large turtle snorted coldly and said, ��Boy, do you really want to meddle in the affairs of Qian Kui Sea Region? You have to know, back then, there was a human punk who was pursued tens of millions of miles by our Qian Kui Sea Region and almost died!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows could not help raising when he heard it.


    Could this person be Zhuo Bufan?


    The Zhuo Bufan who swept across everything in Rainclear Continent had this experience too?


    ��Huhu, almost died? Didn��t he not die? Don��t have any doubts. I��ll be meddling in this girl��s affairs. If you all have anything that you��re unhappy about, feel free to come at me!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    He already showed the other party a lot of face. Since the other party really wanted to form a grudge, they could become enemies then.


    He, Ye Yuan, was not even afraid of Heavenly Dao. Could he still be scared of these seafolk?


    Moreover, Zhuo Bufan could kill his way out. Couldn��t he, Ye Yuan, kill his way out?


    Wu Tuan was furious when she heard that and said, ��Very good! Boy, prepare to receive our wrath! Come on!��


    The group of people left with a whiz.


    While at this time, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed forward. A tremendous suction force transmitted out.


    Jingfei, who was just thinking of running away, was directly captured back from the void by Ye Yuan.


    ��Why? You caused trouble, and you still want to slip away?�� Ye Yuan said with an unfriendly look.


    ��W-When did I? I wanted to go �� to go scout out the path, hehe ���� Jingfei thickened her skin and said with a smile.


    ��Big Yellow, smack the buttocks! Hit hard, don��t show mercy! This girl��s skin is thick.�� Ye Yuan instructed coolly.


    ��Ahh, don��t! Big Brother Ye Yuan, don��t hit me! I �� I only got into big trouble for you! You look!��


    As she said, Jingfei took a sheet of skin out.


    Ye Yuan received it and took a look. It was a map.


    ��This is?��


    ��This is a nautical chart! Didn��t you want to go to the other side of the sea? It��s very easy for you to get into trouble by traveling heedlessly like this! You have to know, there isn��t just True Sovereign Heavens in the sea. There are even Emperor level true spirits in some powerful sea regions! No matter how strong you are, it��s also impossible to be their match, right? With this nautical chart, you��ll be able to avoid those powerful sea regions and will naturally be much safer!��


    Ye Yuan gave Jingfei a strange glance. He did not expect that she actually took this out!


    Indeed, Ye Yuan was also most worried about precisely this when traveling via sea.


    The sea was too big, boundless. One would not know where home was.


    Once trespassed into some powerful sea regions, that would really be dying without knowing how he died.


    There were many major and minor sea regions marked on this nautical chart.


    Especially some Emperor level sea regions that were marked using red.


    And this sea region that they were in right now was called Qian Kui Sea Region, a True Sovereign level sea region.


    There were also more than ten major and minor True Sovereign sea regions around Qian Kui Sea Region.


    This was also to say that the True Sovereign Heaven true spirit seafolk in these sea regions were more than ten!


    Even True Sovereign Heavens were numerous. So it could be imagined how many Saint Sovereign Heavens there were in this ocean.


    The sea was not like land.


    This place was a vast expanse. When passing through, they would be under the surveillance of the sea race.


    No matter how exceedingly formidable your means, it was also impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of the sea race.


    In the sea, there were countless true spirits. Could it be that Ye Yuan could still kill off all the true spirits in the sea?


    The danger of the sea lay in precisely this.


    Once an ordinary Saint Sovereign Heaven was targeted by some seafolks, if they joined forces and invited several Saint Sovereign Heavens over, how could there be the logic of not dying?


    ��How is it? With a younger sister that cares for you, are you very moved?�� Jingfei said smugly.


    Ye Yuan put away the nautical chart and said with a cold snort, ��Don��t give me that! How did you steal people��s turtle eggs in passing when stealing a nautical chart? Also, you pierced through the earth��s core and burned people��s nests. It��s also in order to find the nautical chart?��


    Jingfei hurriedly stuck her tongue out and said, ��You already know?��


    ��I��m not deaf. How could I not hear?��


    Ye Yuan said crossly, ��Forget it. Looking on account of the nautical chart, I��ll spare you this time!��


    ��Hehe, Big Brother Ye Yuan is the best!��


    ��But why are you here?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    ��Back then, when you transcended the tribulation at sea, Jingfei already knew that you were about to leave. Later, you established the Pill Pavilion on the Rainclear Continent, the faction growing stronger and stronger. I knew that you were going to leave very soon. Hence, I came here to wait for you in advance. Heading south all the way after coming out of the seven great sea regions, one will enter the Qian Kui Sea Region. Who knew that I waited ten years! Ten years! I had to find something to do!��


    Ye Yuan was rendered speechless.


    This girl �� you were really asking for trouble!


    But thinking about it, Ye Yuan was a little touched in his heart too.


    While this girl was messing around, finding the nautical chart should be real.


    ��You want to leave together with me?��


    Jingfei nodded and said, ��I��ve already broken through to Saint Sovereign Heaven now. The seven great sea regions have no meaning anymore. The outside world is what��s fun!��


    ��You came out, then what about the Thistle South Sea Region?��


    ��When you left back then, didn��t you leave behind some heavenly pills? Uncle Black Shark already broke through to half-step Saint Sovereign Heaven too. My big brother also broke through to Jade Sovereign Heaven. With them around, it will be fine.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright, come along with me then.��


    Jingfei grabbed onto Ye Yuan��s arm and swung it hard as she said, ��Hehe, it��s still Big Brother Ye Yuan who��s the best!��


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��Don��t be happy too early! This Qian Ye Sea Region is probably not so easy to walk out of!��


    �� ��


    As Ye Yuan expected, after Wu Tuan and the others returned, they immediately went to Qian Kui Hall.


    Qian Kui Sea Region��s overlord was a Qian Kui fish that attained Dao.


    ��Lord Whalebillow, you have to uphold justice for us! That human punk is bullying people too far!�� Wu Tian complained tearfully.


    ��Lord Whalebillow, my palace has already become ruins. I don��t even have a dwelling place anymore now. You have to stand up for this lowly one!��


    �� ��


    A group of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses was currently all extremely grief-stricken as if their parents had died.


    The Lord Whalebillow that they spoke of was a great general under Qian Kui, a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven super powerhouse, his strength being extremely formidable.


    Whalebillow was originally indifferent, but hearing about Ye Yuan��s strength, he nodded and said, ��Sovereign Qian Ye is currently in closed-seclusion.. You all rest assured. Starshine and I won��t sit by idly and remain indifferent with regards to this matter!��

 Chapter 2788 - Fierce Battle with the Qian Kui Sea Clan!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan rode on Big Yellow and strolled leisurely on the sea.


    The speed was not far and also not slow.


    Little Dragon Girl Jingfei transformed into a flood dragon and circled around above the two people��s heads, like a jubilant skylark.


    Very clearly, they did not take those seafolks seriously.


    ��Master Ye, is it really fine for us to be so leisurely?�� Big Yellow said rather flusteredly.


    ��My goodness, you big yellow bull, why are you so long-winded? My Big Brother Ye Yuan is unparalleled under the heavens. How can these stinky seafolks be his match?�� Before Ye Yuan said anything, Jingfei interrupted.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Not that we��re not running, but that we can��t get away even if we run. Since it will be a fight sooner or later, we��ll fight then.��


    ��But if it startles a True Sovereign Heaven ����


    ��How can True Sovereign Heavens be so bored? If they really wanted to take action, Zhuo Bufan would have long died. How could he have possibly been chased down for ten million miles?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Big Yellow thought about it and felt that it made sense.


    In the eyes of True Sovereign Heavens, Saint Sovereign Heavens were merely ant-like existences.


    Killing a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven did not do much good. How could they really care about such a trivial matter?


    According to the nautical chart, they only traveled less than half of the distance in the Qian Kui Sea Region.


    True Sovereign level sea regions were too big. It was virtually ten thousand times as large!


    Even if Ye Yuan pushed on with his journey with all his strength, it would take a year or two as well.


    There was no way to run at all.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s mind stirred, and he said, ��They are here! Two grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens!��


    Big Yellow��s body tensed up, preparing for a great battle.


    After several breaths, the void trembled, and a large group of powerhouses appeared above the sea.


    After counting carefully, there were roughly 60 over Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, more than twice as many as before!


    Whalebillow was in the forefront and looked at Ye Yuan and shouted coldly, ��Boy, you dare to cause trouble in Qian Ye Sea Region. Are you tired of living?��


    ��This Ye didn��t cause trouble. It was just that my younger sister was mischievous. The trouble that she caused, I��ll shoulder it!��


    Ye Yuan��s words were very flat, but it was extremely domineering.


    It was naturally impossible to hand Jingfei over.


    Since that was the case, then he could only shoulder it!


    Whalebillow sneered coldly when he heard that and said, ��A mere lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, can you shoulder it?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Whether or not I can bear it, wouldn��t you know after trying it out?��


    ��Alright, I��ll give it a try then!��


    Whalebillow shouted loudly and threw a punch out with a loud bang.


    A transformed giant whale directly smashed towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan raised his brows, did not expect that this guy was actually a transformation powerhouse.


    However, he did not hesitate, similarly throwing a punch out.


    Boom!


    The surface of the sea shook; that transformed giant whale was actually dispersed by Ye Yuan with one punch!


    The exchange of blows between the two actually directly blew those Saint Sovereign Heavens away.


    It could be seen how strong this force was.


    Whalebillow��s pupils constricted, horrified by Ye Yuan��s strength.


    ��It turns out to be a divergent cultivator! No wonder your strength is so powerful!�� Whalebillow cried out in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��You actually know about divergent cultivators.��


    Whalebillow had a disdainful look as he said, ��What��s strange about this? There are countless heaven��s chosens in the sea. Over time, there will more or less be some people that heaven is jealous of that appear! However, since you��ve stepped onto this path, your days are numbered too! Hand over that lass. This exalt can let you spend your remaining days in peace.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��My remaining years are very long. There��s no need for you to worry about it.��


    Whalebillow laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, stop self-hypnotizing! Even if the divergent cultivators in our sea cultivate to True Sovereign Heaven, they will die miserably under the Dao tribulation in the end, without exception! What right do you have to be an exception?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��My fate is up to me, not up to Heaven!��


    Whalebillow sneered and said, ��Looks like you won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Starshine, attack together and kill this boy!��


    By the side, Starshine nodded his head, his figure suddenly flashing and disappearing.


    While the other Saint Sovereign Heaven quickly retreated.


    In the next moment, countless star-like motes of light appeared around Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, feeling a great danger.


    His figure swayed, wanting to shake off these starlight dots.


    But right at this time, Whalebillow��s giant whale attacked again!


    This time, Whalebillow did not dare to underestimate Ye Yuan too. He directly used 70% of his strength.


    Five giant whales sealed off all of Ye Yuan��s escape routes.


    ��Boy, even if it��s a divergent cultivator, they won��t dare to look down on our Qian Kui Sea Region��s five great war generals too! Go and die!�� Whalebillow gave a loud roar, his aura releasing fully.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, a small sword faintly appearing between his eyebrows.


    He bellowed and bombarded the surroundings frenziedly!


    At the same time, those starlights suddenly burst apart.


    Above the sea, it was as brilliant as fireworks.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    The terrifying explosions completely drowned Ye Yuan.


    When Big Yellow saw this scene, his pupils constricted too.


    These two great grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens were so strong!


    Jingfei��s complexion turned deathly pale, patting her chest and saying, ��It��s ok, it��s ok. Big Brother Ye Yuan is the strongest. He��ll definitely be fine!��


    ��Humph! Damn girl, you��d better worry about yourself! The five great war generals under Sovereign Qian Kui��s command are all transformation powerhouses! This time, in order to deal with this punk, two were dispatched at once. This kid is dead for sure!��


    The large turtle and the others were already too impatient to wait. They charged toward Jingfei.


    While another group of people also besieged Big Yellow.


    They were unable to take part in Ye Yuan��s battle with the two great war generals at all.


    Too strong.


    If they entered, they would only be instantly killed!


    ��Pffft!��


    ��Pffft!��


    Wu Tuan��s voice had yet to fade when Starshine and Whalebillow two people spurted blood at the same time, their bodies flying out backward.


    Meanwhile, the place of the original explosion formed a vacuum area with Ye Yuan as the center!


    Ye Yuan was perfectly unscathed while Starshine and Whalebillow two people were injured by the backlash.


    The expressions of the Qian Kui seafolks present changed one after another.


    ��This �� How is this possible? A divergent cultivator can��t be so strong either, right? He��s just lower Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��Two great generals are actually not this boy��s match!��


    ��I heard that a divergent cultivator appeared in Nine Lives Sea Region before. But when he was lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, he could at most rival a peak upper Saint Sovereign Heaven! Why is this kid so strong?��


    �� ��


    It was not that there were no divergent cultivators, but they had not seen before such a freak!


    For ordinary divergent cultivators, being able to jump two minor realms and face the enemy was already very impressive.


    But Ye Yuan directly jumped three minor realms to confront the enemy!


    Furthermore, it was one-on-two!


    Furthermore, it was even two transformation powerhouses!


    Those able to rank among the five great war generals were extremely powerful people.


    Qian Kui Sea Region��s grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens were naturally not just the five of them.


    But the five of them were the strongest.


    But now, two people joined forces and actually could not beat Ye Yuan. This was a little scary.


    ��Damn it. This boy is a three-laws divergent cultivator. He��s too strong! The two of us can��t resist him! Wu Tuan, you quickly send a message and have Purplesandal and Soulcut come over too!�� Whalebillow yelled out.


    Hearing the yell, Wu Tuan was shocked.


    This kid was actually already so strong to this extent?


    It actually needed four great transformation experts to deal with him?


    However, she did not hesitate, plunging into the sea fiercely.


    A small sword loomed between Ye Yuan��s eyebrows, three great power of rules operated without ceasing, the momentum seemingly unstoppable.. It caused Whalebillow and Starshine two people to steadily lose ground.

 Chapter 2789 - A Big Deal!

    Above the sea, sword energy crisscrossed.


    Starshine and Whalebillow two people were beaten to the point where they kept vomiting blood.


    Although those Saint Sovereign Heavens who were chasing after Big Yellow and Jingfei avoided the core battlefield, each and every one of them was extremely alarmed.


    The present Ye Yuan lost his All-Encompassing Sacred Tree. But he condensed and formed a Dao sword with his own Dao and gained enlightenment on heaven and earth with the Dao sword, perfecting himself.


    One could say that the Dao sword was another All-Encompassing Sacred Tree, forcibly condensing the three great power of rules together.


    This was Ye Yuan��s own Dao!


    Especially after the baptism and tempering of the three-nine Dao tribulation, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword became extremely powerful.


    Activating three power of rules with the power of the Dao sword, it was comparable to three laws transformation fifth form!


    In fact, it was even stronger!


    Therefore, although Saint Sovereign Heaven this realm span was huge, to Ye Yuan, there were basically no opponents already apart from grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    However, Starshine and Whalebillow two people��s strengths were indeed powerful too. They were actually able to last under now at Ye Yuan��s hands.


    ��Damn it, how can this boy be so strong? Lord Starshine and Lord Whalebillow almost can��t hold on anymore!��


    ��Why hasn��t that Wu Tuan returned yet? If Lord Purplesandal and Lord Soulcut still don��t come, the two lords are going to be killed!��


    ��Damn girl, don��t run if you have the capabilities!��


    �� ��


    Over on this side, Jingfei��s speed was extremely fast, slipping away from a group of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    While on the other side, Big Yellow alone restrained 20 to 30 powerhouses, and he also fought while running.


    The present Big Yellow, his strength already reached upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, and his combat power was also extremely powerful.


    If not for there being too many people, he would have long resolved the fight already.


    ��Hehe �� You big dumbasses, why would I fight you all head-on? After my Big Brother Ye Yuan defeats those two, he��ll naturally come and take care of you guys!�� Jingfei laughed coyly.


    The faces of each and every one of the Saint Sovereign Heavens chasing after her became black as the bottom of a pot.


    What they were worried about was also precisely this.


    Who would have thought that two great generals moved out and could not even take care of Ye Yuan?


    However, right at this time, two powerful auras came from the sea and arrived with a howl!


    All the Saint Sovereign Heavens were immediately overjoyed!


    ��They are here! Lord Purplesandal and Lord Soulcut are here! Four great war generals attacking at the same time, this kid is dead for sure!��


    ��Hahaha �� damn lass, see if you can still be arrogant!��


    �� ��


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Two figures appeared instantly. Looking toward the scene of the battle in the distance, their pupils immediately constricted.


    ��Bold little thief, to dare show off your power in our Qian Kui Sea Region! Prepare to die!�� General Purplesandal yelled angrily and brandished his blade, charging towards Ye Yuan.


    General Soulcut also directly joined the battle without a word.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The addition of Purplesandal two people instantly escalated the fight.


    Above the sea, tumultuous waves were swept up. Many seafolks at the bottom of the sea could not avoid them in time and were directly blasted out.


    Regarding four great transformation experts, that combat power was not an ordinary kind of terrifying.


    The two who were originally being beaten until they vomited blood repeatedly were also roused at this time.


    Four people completely unleashed their big moves, suppressing Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    For some time, they actually suppressed Ye Yuan.


    When Whalebillow saw Ye Yuan being suppressed, he immediately said with a loud laugh, ��Four out of the five great war generals moved out, boy, you can be sufficiently proud!��


    Ye Yuan formed a sword with his finger and fired out one terrifying three-laws sword energy after another, but his words were calm as he said, ��This Ye is merely passing by and doesn��t want to clash with everyone! Keep fighting like this, and I won��t be holding back anymore! Do you all really want to force me?��


    Purplesandal smiled coldly and said, ��Boy, can��t beat means you can��t beat! Opening your mouth to beg for mercy now, it��s too late!��


    Whalebillow smiled and said, ��Boy, I gave you a chance previously! It��s too late to beg for mercy now!��


    Ye Yuan��s kindly persuasion turned into begging for mercy when the four great generals heard it.


    Currently, in this sort of situation, Ye Yuan could still have reservations.


    But, keep fighting like this, once his combat power was unleashed, he would not be able to hold back anymore.


    But it looks like these seafolks did not intend to stop either.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort and yelled coldly, ��Universe sword formation, condense!��


    The small sword at Ye Yuan��s glabella suddenly emitted a powerful light.


    Hundreds of small swords instantly condensed and formed in the air!


    Ye Yuan condensed transformed swords with divine essence and formed the Universe Sword Formation!


    The current Ye Yuan did not cultivate a world. He only cultivated the Dao sword!


    His world collapsed. All of the divine essences were stored in the Dao sword.


    The Dao sword was where Ye Yuan��s foundation lay.


    If the sword existed, the person lived. If the sword perished, the person would be dead!


    Once the Universe Sword Formation was unleashed, it instantly enveloped the four great war generals.


    The faces of the four great generals changed at the same time, each and every one of them feeling a great danger.


    As soon as the sword formation rose, the four people were directly split apart, each fighting for themselves, and the pressure suddenly increased.


    In merely a blink of an eye, the situation reversed again!


    The other Saint Sovereign Heavens were immediately dumbfounded.


    ��This �� This �� He still has a trump card?��


    ��What a strong sword formation! The four lords utilized Great Dao Transformation and are actually unable to break out of the encirclement!��


    ��Even four great generals can��t do anything to this kid. What to do?��


    �� ��


    Everyone also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually powerful to such an extent.


    Four out of five great generals moved out and were still suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    Didn��t this mean that in the entire Qian Kui Sea Region, apart from Sovereign Qian Kui, Ye Yuan could sweep away all?


    When Jingfei, who was currently running away, saw the sword formation rise, she immediately laughed loudly and said, ��Big Brother Ye Yuan is too impressive! See if any of you still dare to bully me, I��ll make Big Brother Ye Yuan take care of you in a while!��


    The seafolks were really going crazy.


    This girl was really too arrogant!


    Yet, they could not do anything to her!


    ��Damn lass, don��t get smug! After Sovereign Qian Kui makes a move, you all will die without a burial ground!�� Wu Tuan said furiously when she saw the situation.


    She had just invited two great generals over, thinking that the battle could be reversed instantly, completely quelling things.


    Who knew that she had not caught her breath yet and Ye Yuan suppressed the four great generals again.


    Yet, this girl was still pulling aggro. She wished to tear this girl to pieces alive.


    Jingfei made a funny face at her and said smugly, ��Rubbish! If Sovereign Qian Kui is really going to make a move, he would have long taken action! Would he still wait until now? Hehe, you big turtle, I��m going to ride you and look at the sea! If you dare to be disobedient, I��ll hit you until your head retracts! If you��re still disobedient, I��ll make Big Brother Ye Yuan beat your head out!��


    Hearing Jingfei��s words, Wu Tuan almost went crazy.


    If it were normal times, she would just treat it as a joke.


    But now, there was really the possibility!


    At the thought of being toyed around by this lass, she even had the heart to die.


    ��What are you all still in a daze for? The four of us aren��t his match. Go and call some people over for me! Quickly return to Qian Kui Hall! Raise the alert to the highest level in the entire Qian Kui Sea Region! Go tell Yun Yang! Have him go invite the war generals of the nearby three great sea regions over!��


    On the battlefield, a loud yell suddenly came from Whalebillow.


    Clearly, he was genuinely enraged.


    It was not that he could not accept failure. It was just that with the entire Qian Kui Sea Region being challenged by a human punk, wouldn��t it be treated as a joke in the various major sea regions in the future?


    Therefore, Ye Yuan must die today!


    The expressions of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present changed one after another.


    With this, it became a big deal!

 Chapter 2790 - Reaching the Limit of Patience, There’s No Need to Tolerate Anymore!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What did you say? Whalebillow the four of them are not that human��s match?��


    When Yun Yang heard about this kid, he suddenly stood up, a look of disbelief in his eyes.


    Wu Tuan��s turtle face was almost squeezing into a ball as she said bitterly, ��Yes, Lord Yun Yang! Lord Waycloud asked you to move faster. Any slower and they won��t be able to withstand anymore!��


    Yun Yang felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. With four great war generals going into battle together, unless it was a war between sea regions, it was completely impossible.


    Five great war generals each ruled a region. They were all existences who had millions under them and only one person above them.


    To be able to make them join forces, what kind of terrifying strength did that require?


    A human lower Saint Sovereign Heaven actually forced the four people to do this!


    ��Damn it! Lord Sovereign is currently in closed-seclusion to deal with the True Sovereign Dao tribulation. He can��t get away! Inviting the war generals of other sea regions to take action will definitely cause us to bleed!��


    Yun Yang called three people over and instructed: ��The three of you, go to Ding Xiang Sea Region and Pei Yun Sea Region right now. You must invite two general-level powerhouses to take action! As for the price, as long as they are willing to take action, each person will have three Sea Soul Pills!��


    Everyone��s expressions changed, and they cried out in surprise, ��Sea Soul Pill! Your Excellency, Sea Soul Pills has to do with entering True Sovereign Heaven. Isn��t this too costly?��


    Yun Yang waved his hand and said, ��How can True Sovereign Heaven be so easy to enter? Sea Soul Pills can strengthen the origin divinity and greatly increase the chances of breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven, but that��s all. With these guys�� shrewdness, would they be willing to make a move if we don��t pay the price? Alright, you guys go, if Lord Qian Kui really blames, this exalt will shoulder it!��


    Yun Yang already said so. They naturally did not dare to say anymore.


    After the three people left, Yun Yang passed the order, commanding all of Qian Kui Sea Region��s grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens to all rush to the battlefield!


    Anyone who defied the order would be executed without pardon!


    After the order was passed, Yun Yang brought Wu Tuan as well as seven to eight grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens. They whizzed away to the battlefield.


    �� ��


    ��Lord Yun Yang is here too!��


    ��This �� This is the entire Qian Kui Hall swarming out in full force!��


    ��Could it be that so many people can��t take this kid down too?��


    �� ��


    Seeing the battlefield getting bigger and bigger, the expressions of the Saint Sovereign Heavens present changed one after another.


    They originally thought that it was just a trivial matter.


    Just killing a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, how major could it be?


    But now, it actually caused the Qian Kui Hall to emerge in full force!


    Feeling more and more powerful auras, Ye Yuan felt a headache too.


    He already showed mercy in his action, alright?


    Could it be that these seafolks were all lunatics?


    If he did not kill people, did they really take him to be a soft persimmon?


    If not for being apprehensive of True Sovereign Heavens, he would not care about these seafolks�� life and death.


    The reason why he showed mercy was merely because he did not want to offend True Sovereign Heavens terribly.


    But now, they were bullying others too far!


    Yun Yang brought seven to eight grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens and joined the battlefield. Ye Yuan��s pressure suddenly increased!


    He exclaimed, ��Everyone, this Ye has already shown mercy. Can��t you really not tell? If you keep pushing me like this, don��t blame this Ye for not being courteous anymore!��


    Eight grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens, plus five grand completion transformation realms, this combat power could already be called terrifying.


    Ye Yuan was strong, but it was also impossible to be so strong.


    At this time, he already had his full strength being forced out too and was unable to hold back anymore.


    What was left was a life and death battle!


    Ye Yuan did not want to offend a sea region to the core, but these guys were bullying people too far.


    The trouble that Jingfei caused was not small, but later on, he also asked about it. It was not really a serious matter. There was no need to be irreconcilable till death.


    It was also precisely because of this that he had been pulling his punches all along.


    Otherwise, at the beginning, Ye Yuan could have directly employed the Universe Sword Formation and annihilated Whalebillow and Starshine!


    ��Boy, it��s also not that we can��t stop. As long as you hand over that girl, everything can be discussed! Otherwise, my Qian Kui Sea Region��s face won��t tolerate a human like yourself to provoke like this!�� Whalebillow also shouted.


    In reality, they were scared too!


    The participation of Yun Yang and eight great grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens merely fought to a draw with Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s sword formation was seriously unbelievably strong.


    But now, the arrow was notched on the bow and had no choice but to release it!


    If they could not keep Jingfei behind, they were seriously unable to give an explanation.


    Both sides stuck to their guns just like that.


    Over there, Jingfei, who had been rejoicing all along, also could not laugh anymore with this.


    No matter how mischievous she was, she also knew that she caused big trouble this time.


    How could she have thought that the momentary mischievousness previously would have caused the entire Qian Kui Sea Region to riot?


    This joke blew up a little too big.


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, why don��t �� you hand Jingfei over? Sniff sniff �� I �� I was wrong!�� Jingfei cried while running.


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��What a joke! If the sky falls, I��ll shoulder it! Big Yellow, there are more and more of them. You quickly bring Jingfei south and break out of the encirclement. I��ll rush over very soon!��


    ��Yes, Master Ye!��


    Big Yellow felt a headache too, wishing to smack Jingfei to death with one slap.


    This lass was too capable of causing trouble!


    However, Big Yellow had been together with Ye Yuan for a long time, and he already understood Ye Yuan��s temper very well.


    At this time, he absolutely would not abandon his companion and leave.


    When Ye Yuan was holding back previously, he was naturally holding back too. The Coquettish Profligate Hoof did not erupt with full power.


    At this time, he no longer held anything back. With a roar, his body suddenly started twisting strangely.


    Boom!


    A kick thrust out, the three to four middle Saint Sovereign Heavens in front were directly burst apart by him!


    Carving open a bloody path, Big Yellow headed straight for Jingfei.


    With another hoof kick, it sent those Saint Sovereign Heavens chasing after him flying.


    Then, he took Jingfei and sprinted south.


    ��Chase! You must keep that lass behind for this exalt! Yuan Chen, you go and help, kill that bull!��


    Whalebillow bellowed, ordering one of the grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens to get out of the battlefield and pursue.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, a hint of cold light flashed across his eyes, and he yelled coldly, ��This Ye wants to see who can leave! Kill!��


    At this time, Ye Yuan was genuinely enraged too.


    It was only to see him yell fiercely. The Universe Sword Formation suddenly became fierce.


    Previously, he had always been focusing on defense; offense was secondary.


    Now, he could not care less anymore, directly turning the Universe Sword Formation into a killing move!


    For a time, cold light erupted brilliantly!


    That Yuan Chen was just about to leave the battlefield when he was directly pierced by dozens of sword lights, falling into the sea.


    This was Ye Yuan��s first time employing a killing move!


    However, as soon as the killing move came out, Ye Yuan��s defense was greatly weakened too.


    After all, they were five great transformation experts present. Under this blow, he suffered some injuries too.


    Seeing Ye Yuan suddenly become fierce, Whalebillow and the rest were greatly shocked.


    Only then did they know how terrifying the power of this sword formation was!


    Before, Ye Yuan was really holding back too much.


    Otherwise, if they came one by one, they would have died long ago!


    But, once Ye Yuan��s killing move was unleashed, and once a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven fell, this matter really could not be resolved anymore.


    Whalebillow shouted loudly, ��Boy, you dare to kill people! Today, it��s irreconcilable till death!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned fierce, and he said with a cold snort, ��Do you all really think that I��m scared of you? This Ye gave in time and again, but you all keep pushing it! Reaching the limit of my patience, then there��s no need to tolerate anymore!��

 Chapter 2791 - Fighting His Way Out!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Move!��


    Ye Yuan shouted fiercely, controlling dozens of flying swords to kill a grand completion Saint Sovereign HEaven powerhouse again.


    At this time, Ye Yuan already slew three grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    But, in the time that he killed these three people, another five came one after another!


    These five people were all grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    However, Ye Yuan was not afraid, urging the Universe Sword Formation to the extreme.


    After fighting fiercely for a long time, the five great war generals were long already a spent force. At this time, they could only barely manage to resist.


    If it dragged on a while longer, he might not be unable to kill one or two of them.


    Unassuming when not killing, but when he went on a killing spree, then he would kill until the other party got chills!


    Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.


    After all, this place was a large sea region, with countless powerhouses!


    ��Human boy, you slaughtered my Qian Kui Sea Region��s powerhouses. I��ll definitely flay your skin and pull out your tendons today!�� Yun Yang roared angrily.


    Helplessly watching three grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens die in front of them, these people became even crazier.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Today��s battle, this Ye showed leniency time and again. It was you all who kept pushing me! Now, you��re blaming this Ye for killing people! Huhu, do you really think that I��m scared of you all? Once slaughter starts, I��ll go on a killing spree then!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan urged the sword formation and rushed toward Sword Formation frenziedly.


    Among this group of people, Starshine was the most heavily injured and was already an arrow at the end of its flight.


    Want to kill, then it was naturally him!


    Of course, fighting until now, Ye Yuan��s injuries were not weak either.


    But, compared to his opponents, it was still within an acceptable range.


    ��Damn it! Why aren��t those guys here yet!�� When Whalebillow saw that Starshine was almost unable to withstand, he was anxious until his face contorted.


    But the current Ye Yuan completely had a reckless fighting style that disregarded his life. His offensive power was extremely fearsome.


    Being in the sword formation, there was no leeway for him to be distracted.


    Just as they were fighting fiercely, several powerful auras suddenly arrived with a howl!


    When Whalebillow and the rest felt this aura, they were instantly ecstatic.


    ��Hahaha �� Kid, the six great war generals in the nearby three great sea regions are about to arrive soon! This time, see if you still won��t die!�� Whalebillow said with a wild laugh.


    Ye Yuan naturally felt these powerful auras too, and he was also slightly surprised in his heart.


    So many general powerhouses, he could not bear it too!


    Once surrounded, it would really cost him a layer of skin even if he did not die.


    ��Is that so? Then �� you all have a batch die first before talking!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan suddenly formed a seal. Hundreds of sword lights all pierced toward Starshine with a whistle!


    Starshine only felt that it was all sword light blotting out the skies and covering the earth. There was nowhere to evade at all!


    ��Starshine!��


    Whalebillow roared loudly, but it was already too late to want to save.


    In desperation, the martial techniques of Whalebillow and the rest smashed towards Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    Ye Yuan had long expected it, spatial rule instantly unfolding.


    However, it was the joint attack of four great war generals. The power was too terrifying.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two explosions sounded out, Starshine and the grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven beside him were directly blown into nothingness by Ye Yuan without the slightest resistance.


    Swoosh!


    And right at this time, an afterimage streaked across the sky. Ye Yuan actually took advantage of this interval and flew away.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan��s abdomen was empty. Flesh and blood actually could not even be seen.


    This strike earlier, he avoided the vitals. But he still could not completely avoid it in the end.


    ��Damn it! That boy is seriously injured. Chase after and kill him!�� Yun Yang yelled, a group of people chasing after Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    Among the five people, Whalebillow was the closest to Starshine.


    Now, Starshine was killed, Whalebillow was furious to the extreme.


    ��Motherf*cker! This kid sustained such heavy wounds, but he can actually still run so fast! Don��t let Your Father catch up if you have the ability!��


    Ye Yuan was severely injured at this time. Even his speed slowed down too.


    However, he already swallowed two grade five heavenly pills. His injuries and divine essence were in the midst of recovering rapidly.


    These two grade five heavenly pills were precisely grade five true grade heavenly pills. The recovery power was extremely shocking.


    In the past few decades, Ye Yuan put most of his energy on alchemy.


    He devoted himself to studying the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook as well as the Alchemy Dao records obtained from the Labyrinth Divine Palace. At present, his Alchemy Dao already improved further!


    Although grade five heavenly medicines were precious, since Ye Yuan was heading out, it was naturally impossible not to make any preparations.


    Otherwise, in the vast sea, he would be exhausted to death by people too.


    Yun Yang and the rest were all grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses. Their speed was naturally not slow.


    It looked like the distance from Ye Yuan was dwindling little by little.


    But very soon, they discovered that the aura on Ye Yuan��s body grew stronger and stronger, and his speed got faster and faster.


    At this moment, Whalebillow and the others could not help but want to curse and swear.


    ��Fucking hell! Is this kid immortal? Why is he recovering so fast? Brat, don��t run if you have the capabilities!�� Whalebillow stomped his feet in annoyance.


    Only a moron would not run!


    Dawdling with you here, to wait for death?


    But Ye Yuan felt that there were more than ten powerful auras currently howling over from several directions ahead.


    Among them, there were six powerhouses who were not weaker than Whalebillow and the other powerhouses who were currently rushing over swiftly.


    Ye Yuan naturally planned it out when he chose to break through the encirclement at this time.


    Being heavily injured, he was unable to face ten great grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven transformation powerhouses. He would be biting off more than he could chew.


    Once surrounded by them, then he would really be unable to bear the consequences of failure.


    Ahead, six powerful auras already got closer and closer, their figures already appearing in the horizon.


    Whalebillow was overjoyed when he saw the situation and said, ��Bing Chen, Zhou Lin, Fei Yan, delay this punk! Don��t let him run away!��


    The powerhouse called Bing Chen said with a loud laugh, ��Whalebillow, your Qian Kui Sea Region is too weak! So many people besieging a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven and you actually let him run away!��


    ��Haha, want us to act, sure! Add another Sea Soul Pill each!�� Zhou Lin took the opportunity to extort.


    Whalebillow did not have time to bargain with him and immediately said, ��No problem! Attack for me!��


    Bing Chen laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, you, a human, actually dare to act wildly in the sea region. You��re really tired of living! Stay behind obediently. Your Lord Bing will use you to trade for Sea Soul Pills!��


    Done talking, the six people��s auras released, transformation martial techniques smashing over towards Ye Yuan crazily.


    With six great transformation powerhouses making a move, how shocking was the commotion?


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s injuries were already 60% recovered. The large hole in his abdomen pretty much recovered already too.


    Facing the pincer attack of six great powerhouses, he did not reduce his speed, but divine essence erupted instead, his speed skyrocketing!


    When Whalebillow saw this scene, his pupils could not help constricting, and he cried out in shock, ��Be careful, this boy��s sword formation is extremely formidable! Starshine already died at his hands just now!��


    Bing Chen and the rest were naturally not fools. Just now, they only had the intention of nauseating Whalebillow and the others.


    Before coming, they were already aware of it.


    Furthermore, for a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven to be able to escape from the hands of five great transformation powerhouses, it indicated a lot of things in itself.


    Therefore, they did not hold back on this strike but called forth all their power!


    However, hearing that Starshine actually died, these people were still shocked.


    But at this time, they already clashed in close quarters!


    Ye Yuan ignored the rest and rushed straight for Zhou Lin, his speed swift to the extreme.


    Just now, when he suddenly accelerated, he actually barely managed to avoid the six people��s combined attack.


    And at this time, Universe Sword Formation emerged in full force!


    ��DIE!��


    Ye Yuan roared, countless sword lights sweeping toward Zhou Lin.


    ��Damn it! Save me!��


    Zhou Lin��s expression changed wildly, wanting to avoid Ye Yuan. But it was already too late.


    Both parties�� speed was too fast!


    Describing it was slow. But actually, it was merely a blink of an eye, and both parties already clashed in close quarters.


    Boom!


    A terrifying explosion transmitted out of the void. Zhou Lin instantly turned to ashes under this blow!


    A streak of flowing light cut across the sky, Ye Yuan actually forcefully killed his way out amidst the encirclement of six people!


    However, Ye Yuan was not any better.


    The combined attack of six great transformation experts, he did not defend at all either. It could be seen how terrifying this attack was.


    He only avoided the core of this strike.


    But ultimately, he was unable to completely avoid it.

 Chapter 2792 - If This Exalt Says That I’ll Protect You, Then I’ll Protect You!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Xiao Qing, didn��t you say that the sea is full of dangers? Why does it seem to be just like that when we walked all the way?��


    ��Reputation isn��t as good as meeting in the flesh. Maybe the true spirits in the sea are all very friendly?��


    ��Mn, what you said is right. Sigh, this exalt has been invincible in the Yuchi Continent far too long and is seriously a little bored. Otherwise, I really couldn��t quite bear to leave.��


    ��Master is amazingly talented, your aptitude reigning the present era! A tiny little Yuchi Continent can��t accommodate Master anymore! Being able to follow Master to take a look at the world outside is Xiao Qing��s paramount honor!��


    ��Huhu, Xiao Qing has discerning eyes like burning torches. This exalt just likes this about you! Xiao Qing, do you think that Master, I, can also reign the contemporary era when I go outside?��


    ��That��s a certainty! Master will definitely find lucky chances very soon and break through to True Sovereign Heaven. Then you��ll ascend to the summit again and look down proudly on the present era!��


    ��Haha, I think so too! Uh �� It��s just that this sea is vast and a little boring!��


    �� ��


    A youth in an azure shirt rode a black ox and was currently strolling on the surface of the sea, enjoying it very pleasantly like he was on a vacation.


    The youth in a green shirt had a look like only he was invincible, and the loneliness of an expert.


    However, his aura was indeed very powerful. He was actually a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    The black bull under his seat was also initial-stage upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    This kind of strength, even when placed in the sea, it was rather strong too.


    Therefore, it was still considered peaceful traveling all this way.


    The youth was called Yang Qing, the Yuchi Continent��s strongest powerhouse, similarly to the Zhuo Bufan back then.


    However, he no longer had room for improvement on Yuchi Continent. That was why he would leave to search for the opportunity to break through to True Sovereign Heaven.


    Suddenly, there was an undulation in the void far away. The lethargic Yang Qing suddenly became excited.


    ��There��s someone! Heh, traveled for a year already, finally met a living person! Uh �� Only lower Saint Sovereign Heaven and he actually dares to come to the sea. That��s pretty gutsy! Xiao Qing, go over!��


    Yang Qing patted Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing understood, and his figure moved, going up to greet.


    Very soon, a figure appeared in Yang Qing��s field of vision. It was a young man in a white shirt.


    ��Little Brother, the sea is vast. How about we become companions?�� Yang Qing called out loudly.


    Ye Yuan, who was currently flying away swiftly, his expression could not help becoming a little strange when he heard the call.


    This guy wanted to become buddies and travel together with him?


    Tired of living, right?


    ��No need! Each goes his own way!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Yang Qing was not angry either, keeping up with Ye Yuan��s footsteps and said with a smile, ��Little Brother, I see that your strength isn��t strong. If you come with me, your safety will be guaranteed too. Uh �� But your speed is pretty fast.��


    Ye Yuan gave Yang Qing a glance rather surprisedly too. This guy could actually keep up with his speed.


    However, he was also very surprised to run into a human here.


    Looking at the other party, he also guessed a little. He probably set out to sea to look for lucky chances.


    ��If you��re not afraid of death, just follow me,�� Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    ��Afraid of death? Haha �� Little Brother, you must be joking! I, Saint Exalt Azuresky, am invincible under the heavens! Unless a True Sovereign Heaven acts, otherwise, this exalt will keep you safe!�� Yang Qing said with a loud laugh.


    The large black bull also said, ��Young one, relax! Master��s strength sweeps across the present era. Even if five grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens come, they��re not his match either! Protecting a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven like you is too effortless.��


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes. This guy was overly confident, right?


    Was this hypnotizing himself, that he was really invincible under the heavens?


    If there wasn��t a group of troops in pursuit behind me, I could slap you to death right now. Do you believe it or not?


    Ye Yuan did not pay attention to these two living treasures and flew without any care, urging his speed to the extreme.


    ��Huhu, Little Brother, this sea is so vast. Why are you in such a hurry? Why not slow down and enjoy the scenery of nature a little? It��s conducive to the improvement of realm too,�� Yang Qing said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    ��Little Brother, you��re very cold! Let this exalt tells you. It��s very hard to achieve Great Dao with this kind of mentality! There aren��t as many dangers as you think in the sea. Even if there are, you should also look at it with a smile.��


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    ��Little Brother ����


    Yang Qing was also bored for too long. Finally having found someone to talk to, his entire person became a chatterbox.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pay attention to him, but he was also somewhat surprised at the other party��s strength.


    Even if it was grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven, there were not many capable of keeping up with his speed too.


    Suddenly, his expression changed. Five powerful auras ahead came to intercept.


    He detected it. Yang Qing naturally perceived it too.


    ��Eh? Are these sea race powerhouses? After traveling for so long, it��s still this exalt��s first time encountering sea race powerhouses. Let��s go and say hi,�� Yang Qing said rather excitedly.


    Ye Yuan was speechless again.


    How exhausting!


    How did this guy cultivate to his current realm?


    In virtually a blink of an eye, the five auras already arrived with a howl.


    These five people were shockingly all general-level powerhouses!


    Yang Qing did not wait for the other party to speak either, directly going up to greet as he said with a smile, ��Huhu, gentlemen are sea race powerhouses, right? This exalt is Yuchi Continent��s number one person, Saint Exalt Azuresky! Today, I��m fortunate to get acquainted with you ����


    ��You��re together with this punk?�� A sea race powerhouse in the forefront directly interrupted Yang Qing��s words and asked coldly.


    Yang Qing smiled and said, ��Of course, we��re together!��


    Ye Yuan could not let out a single word.


    He was really speechless. This guy was really bold enough. Couldn��t he tell whether it was good or bad words?


    ��Kill!�� The sea race powerhouse roared, five people directly going all out and suppressing Ye Yuan two people.


    Yang Qing was taken aback. Before he could react to what was going on, the other party already acted.


    However, he was well-deserving of being Yuchi Continent��s number one person. He suddenly slammed a punch out and actually reached first despite launching later, directly repelling the two people in front.


    And Ye Yuan also released the Universe Sword Formation and clashed together with three people.


    How could the large black bull dare to take part in such a grand battle? It ran away with a whoosh.


    ��My goodness, is there some misunderstanding, gentlemen?�� Yang Qing fought as he said.


    ��No misunderstanding!�� That general in the forefront yelled.


    ��But this exalt didn��t provoke you all!�� Yang Qing said in puzzlement.


    ��You didn��t, but he did!��


    ��Hey, Little Brother, just how did you provoke them?�� Yang Qing could not resist looking towards Ye Yuan and could not help getting a shock.


    Ye Yuan fought one-on-three and actually suppressed the other party!


    These three people were all transformation experts!


    Just now, he actually looked down on this kid?


    A lower Saint Sovereign Heaven actually suppressed three great transformation powerhouses!


    This boy was actually even more monstrous than him!


    ��It��s nothing. I just killed a few people,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    The moment Yang Qing heard this, he said, ��Oh, it��s merely five transformation experts. There won��t be a problem if we join forces! This exalt says that I��ll protect you, then I��ll protect you!��


    After saying this, Yang Qing released his aura and beat the two people until they steadily lost ground.


    But in this short delay, several dozen powerful auras in the rear arrived with a howl.


    All of them were grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven experts!


    When Yang Qing saw the situation, his scalp could not help tingling, and he cried out strangely, ��Kid, just how many freaking powerhouses did you provoke?��

 Chapter 2793 - Sudden Counterattack!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��It��s also not a lot. I��ve killed people from the four great sea regions. Now, the four great sea regions�� powerhouses are all on the way to hunt me down. Oh, these four great sea regions�� overlords are all True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses,�� Ye Yuan��s hands did not slow down as he said coolly.


    ���� ����


    Yang Qing only felt his scalp tingle, feeling speechless.


    True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse!


    Just now, he was still saying that he would protect Ye Yuan under True Sovereign Heaven.


    But now, this fellow really provoked True Sovereign Heavens!


    Who am I?


    Where am I?


    Aren��t I �� invincible?


    ��Hurry up and break out of the encirclement. We won��t be able to run if we��re surrounded!��


    Ye Yuan shouted loudly, Universe Sword Formation suddenly erupting, inflicting heavy wounds onto someone by trading injuries, and flying away once more.


    ��Wait for me!��


    Yang Qing sent the two people flying with one punch and chased after Ye Yuan.


    Xiao Qing was sharp too, dashing under Yang Qing��s crotch with a lunge.


    ��You��re still following me?�� Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    ��They already think that I��m together with you! Little Brother, you��re a formidable figure, to actually be able to cause an uproar in four great sea regions! I feel that we��re kindred spirits!�� Yang Qing said in admiration.


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    Who was freaking kindred spirits with you?


    However, with such a powerhouse following, it could share quite a bit of pressure, so Ye Yuan was not long-winded either.


    Behind them, Whalebillow shouted loudly, ��Punk who��s surnamed Ye, you can��t escape! The powerhouses of three great sea regions ahead are already all rushing over towards this side!��


    This group of people had already chased Ye Yuan for three days and three nights!


    Ye Yuan already killed more than ten grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses as he moved.


    Among them, he had killed the war generals of four great sea regions.


    It was also because of this that Ye Yuan completely triggered an uproar in the four great sea regions.


    All of the four great sea regions�� powerhouses swarmed out in full force, carrying out obstructions and intercepting him.


    The fights along the way were like just now.


    Yang Qing just happened to run into Ye Yuan during the interval of pursuit.


    What surprised Ye Yuan was that beyond the shock, Yang Qing was actually rather excited to encounter this kind of situation.


    This guy��s brain had a problem, right?


    As for the Whalebillow at the back, Ye Yuan directly ignored him.


    ��Little Brother, there��s no meaning in running like this. Why don��t we join hands and pull off a big play? How about it? Heh heh, really haven��t had such a thrilling thing for a long time!�� Yang Qing actually giggled.


    He had been invincible on the Yuchi Continent for too long.


    Ye Yuan��s brows raised up, thinking to himself that this Yang Qing��s strength was extremely formidable, fighting one-on-two with great ease.


    If he joined hands with him, they could pull it off!


    Continue running like this was not a solution either.


    ��Okay!�� Ye Yuan said straightforwardly.


    Yang Qing said excitedly, ��How do I address Little Brother?��


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    ��Younger Brother Ye��s sword formation is very formidable. You use the sword formation to cover me. Let��s do a sudden counterattack!��


    ��No problem!��


    Yang Qing was taken aback and said, ��You trust me so much? Aren��t you scared that I sell you out?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You can��t sell me!��


    Yang Qing laughed and said, ��Alright, domineering enough. You have the style of me, Saint Exalt Azuresky! Kill!��


    Yang Qing roared, his figure suddenly shooting backward, charging toward the crowd.


    With the delay just now, both sides�� distance was already extremely near.


    The moment he turned back, both sides directly fought in close quarters!


    The group that was pursuing them already reached more than 30 people!


    Adding in those few war general powerhouses earlier, the other sides�� transformation experts now were as many as 13 people!


    This force was absolutely extremely terrifying.


    Ye Yuan displayed spatial rule, his figure turning around by defying common sense, and was actually even faster than Yang Qing.


    But at this time, the long spear in Yang Qing��s hand shook, an astonishing momentum rising to the sky.


    At this moment, Ye Yuan felt it too. This Yang Qing was a two-laws transformation!


    However, this guy perfectly fused Spear Dao and Destruction Dao together.


    Before the long spear was unleashed, everyone already felt a destructive power!


    And the grandmist treasure long spear in Yang Qing��s hands actually turned false and real, the imposing momentum condensing without scattering.


    Clearly, Yang Qing was a super powerhouse in the spear path.


    The team that was pursuing was chasing after with all their might. Clearly, they did not expect that these two people still dared to deal a sudden counterattack.


    With this, they were caught off-guard!


    ��Tyrant��s Spear!��


    Yang Qing shouted loudly, the long spear piercing through the head of the war general who was in his face like a rainbow.


    Tyrant��s Spear?


    Bastard��s spear1?


    Why did this guy feel so unreliable?


    However, his strength was extremely strong.


    ��Universe Sword!��


    Ye Yuan also shouted fiercely, similarly finishing off a war general powerhouse.


    One exchange, two general level experts fell!


    The group that was chasing them was immediately dumbfounded.


    However, Whalebillow and the rest had seen before grand spectacles too, they woke up extremely quickly.


    ��Kill! Don��t let these two punks run! Must kill them!�� Whalebillow growled.


    There was no need for him to instruct them. There were already countless attacks that smashed toward the two.


    The assault earlier, the two people directly disrupted the other party��s formation.


    At this time, as soon as Ye Yuan released the Universe Sword Formation, it directly enveloped dozens of people inside, helping Yang Qing to block most of the attacks.


    While Yang Qing��s long spear had an unstoppable momentum, piercing through another ordinary grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven with one spear again.


    ��Damn it! Damn it! Surround the two of them! Don��t let them run!�� Whalebillow bellowed.


    They were hunting down Ye Yuan. In the end, Ye Yuan was fine, but they died one after another!


    Whalebillow was virtually going insane now.


    Although two general level powerhouses died, there were still 11 of them.


    Once they formed an encirclement, it was definitely impossible for Ye Yuan two people to escape.


    ��Can��t ward off anymore! Retreat!�� Just before the other party formed an encirclement, Ye Yuan directly urged the sword formation and killed a grand completion Sword Formation Heaven, killing his way out of the heavy encirclement again.


    ��Punk, you sold me out!�� Yang Qing was currently too excited from the slaughtering and did not react in time at all.


    He shouted loudly, his back directly sustaining a vicious blow, half his body collapsing. However, he also forcefully killed his way out and caught up to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan could not refrain from rolling his eyes. Why was this guy so stubborn?


    That sort of situation just now, did he still need him to warn?


    Could it be that he was even prepared to kill all these people?


    Yang Qing was strong, but he was also merely about on par with Ye Yuan.


    Killing, they definitely could not kill easily.


    Once entangled, that would be death.


    But Yang Qing was good, getting excited from killing and actually wanted to fight to the death ��


    Ye Yuan casually threw a heavenly pill over. The moment Yang Qing caught it and looked, his eyes could not help lighting up, and he cried out in surprise, ��True grade! Good stuff!��


    Immediately without hesitation, he directly swallowed it.


    His body that was blown away also grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    ��Hahaha, really good stuff! Come, come, come, let��s fight again!�� Yang Qing raised his head to the sky and said with a loud laugh.


    Hearing this, Whalebillow and the others who were at the back could not help being shocked, their speed immediately slowing down.


    However, Ye Yuan two people directly increased their speed and shook everyone off.


    ��ARRHHHH! Punk who��s surnamed Ye, I��ll definitely kill you!�� From behind came Whalebillow��s bellow.


    Ye Yuan was rendered speechless. It wasn��t me who mocked you either. What are you killing me for?


    However, with the addition of Yang Qing, this great escape became interesting.

 Chapter 2794 - True Sovereign Heaven Descends!

    ��Brother Yang, kill!��


    Above the void, Ye Yuan suddenly shouted.


    Behind him, the army that was chasing them suddenly stopped.


    Ye Yuan two people did not have the intention of turning back at all. They fled even faster instead.


    Only then did Whalebillow and the rest shout, realizing that they were fooled. Each and every one of their faces reddened to the ears with anger.


    ��Punk who��s surnamed Ye, Your Father is going to tear you to pieces!��


    ��Motherfucker! You��ll give birth to a son without an anus!��


    ��Boy, no matter how big a price we pay today, we��ll make you stay!��


    �� ��


    From behind came an exasperated voice.


    Ever since Yang Qing joined, Ye Yuan two people could attack when they advanced and could defend if they retreated, toying with all the pursuing troops in the palm of their hands.


    And this situation also thoroughly enraged the sea race.


    Before, Whalebillow they all were worried about casualties. But now, they were not worried anymore. The Qian Kui Sea Region directly sent a sea race army over.


    At this time, it was densely packed with seafolks above the void. Ye Yuan two people could not kill them entirely.


    Although these seafolks were not opponents that could last one exchange with them, they could stop Ye Yuan two people��s movements.


    ��Hahaha, refreshing! Refreshing! Haven��t killed so refreshingly for a long time! Brother Ye, I have to thank you!�� Yang Qing��s long spear danced seamlessly until not even wind could penetrate as he let out a loud laugh and said.


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes. Are you confused about the situation?


    We can��t escape!


    Suddenly, his mind stirred, and he shouted loudly, ��Stop chasing! Keep chasing and I��m going to transcend my tribulation!��


    ��Stop! Don��t chase anymore!�� The figures of Whalebillow and the others suddenly stopped. They actually really stopped chasing.


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing two people were taken aback. So obedient?


    But very soon, they discovered that something was not right.


    These people��s faces had an extremely respectful look.


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing exchanged glances, their expressions changing drastically.


    ��Oh no! You��re going to get me killed!�� Yang Qing cried out strangely.


    The void trembled, and an imposing aura like a sovereign that descended upon the world emerged from the void.


    A figure stepped out of the void, akin to a god descending upon the world.


    ��Paying respects to Sovereign Qian Kui!��


    Everyone bowed collectively.


    In these few great sea regions, True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were absolutely invincible existences, paramount existences.


    A True Sovereign Heaven finally appeared!


    Ye Yuan two people stopped running. With a True Sovereign Heaven descending, they could not run away anymore.


    Sovereign Qian Kui turned into human form, like a king of the world.


    His eyes were locked on Ye Yuan as if he was looking at a dead person.


    ��Subordinate is incompetent, making sovereign appear in person! Sovereign, please punish!�� Whalebillow and the rest were in fear and trepidation, directly kneeling down and admitting fault.


    The Qian Kui Sea Region swarmed out in full force just to hunt down one person.


    In the end, the person failed to be killed, but they suffered heavy losses.


    They had been hunting Ye Yuan for more than half a month, but two of the five great war generals fell, and nine grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens perished!


    As for Jade Sovereign Heaven and Limitless Sublime Heaven seafolks, the casualties were countless.


    And Ye Yuan was still alive and well now, without any injuries at all.


    Whalebillow this group of people were almost vomiting blood.


    ��Humph! A bunch of trash!�� Sovereign Qian Kui gave a cold snort, Whalebillow and the others were directly shocked into vomiting blood.


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing felt a great pressure too.


    Too strong!


    One sentence injured a transformation powerhouse.


    ��True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses perform Dao techniques naturally. Every movement carries the might of Great Dao, as expected!�� Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression.


    Just now, this cold yell of Sovereign Qian Kui��s caused Great Dao to fluctuate. Ye Yuan could feel it clearly.


    He had faced-off against Yan Jadetrue before, but that was just a half-baked True Sovereign Heaven.


    This one in front of him now was a true-blue True Sovereign Heaven!


    ��Dead for sure now! Brother Ye, you��ve harmed me terribly! What to do? What to do?�� Yang Qing said in a panic.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes and said, ��Weren��t you still killing happily just now? Asked you to leave early on, you refused to go. Now, you��re blaming me?��


    Yang Qing was taken aback and said, ��Uh, seems like it! That �� Lord Sovereign, the person that you want to kill is him. I don��t know him! I��m just an ant that��s passing by. Treat me as a fart and let me go?��


    The desire to live was so strong!


    Yang Qing turned his face, wagging his tail and begging for pity shamelessly.


    That appearance was totally that of a sycophant. Ye Yuan was dumbfounded from watching.


    This guy, when he was killing just now, he had an appearance like he was invincible.


    Now, he actually changed face so quickly.


    ��Hahaha �� Qian Kui, your Qian Kui Sea Region emerged from your nest in full force and couldn��t even take care of a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven. It��s too embarrassing, right?��


    Suddenly, a burst of loud laughter suddenly sounded out.


    Above the void, another three terrifying auras suddenly descended.


    These three people��s auras were not the least bit weaker than Sovereign Qian Kui!


    The kings of the four great sea regions had actually all arrived!


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing��s faces changed wildly. Now, there was really nowhere to run.


    It was absolutely impossible to escape from the hands of four great True Sovereign Heavens.


    The muscles on Yang Qing��s face were already spasming.


    Another True Sovereign Heaven said with a laugh, ��Qian Kui, I even thought that you died under the true sovereign Dao tribulation. I was prepared to come to take over the Qian Kui Sea Region.��


    The third True Sovereign Heaven said with a smile, ��Qian Kui, you��d better go and overcome the true sovereign Dao tribulation with peace of mind. This sovereign will help you take care of Qian Kui Sea Region��s awful mess.��


    Sovereign Qian Kui snorted coldly and said, ��Hollowdark, Sardine, Tian Hui, the three of you stop making wisecracks here! Quite a few of your people died too! If this punk appeared in your sea regions, can you all resist? Didn��t you guys come to kill this brat too?��


    Hollowdark was indifferent, looking at Ye Yuan as he said with a smile, ��Kid, your face is really big, to actually provoke us four great True Sovereign Heavens to take action!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said helplessly, ��I didn��t want to either. Previously, this Ye was holding back in all aspects. It was Qian Kui Sea Region��s people who pressed people too far.��


    Qian Kui snorted coldly and said, ��Boy, you��re still stubborn when death is imminent!��


    But Hollowdark laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� A little interesting! Still able to be so calm when seeing the few of us. Kid, this sovereign gives you a chance. Seek refuge with our Ding Xiang Sea Region. This sovereign will protect your life!��


    Before Ye Yuan could speak, Yang Qing hurriedly said, ��Lord Sovereign, I��m willing to defect! I��m called Yang Qing. I��m very strong too!��


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    This guy immediately became thick-skinned.


    Hollowdark had a smile that was not a smile as he said, ��Sure, your strength is very strong too. You��re qualified to take refuge with this sovereign! What about you, kid?��


    Qian Kui snorted coldly and said, ��Hollowdark, are you going to war with this sovereign?��


    Hollowdark said smugly, ��So what if I am? You��re at the critical juncture of transcending the true sovereign Dao tribulation right now. Could it be that you dare to make a move against this sovereign? Once you bring down the true sovereign Dao tribulation, you��ll probably die without a burial ground!��


    Qian Kui��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    However, what Hollowdark said was also true.


    It was already his fourth true sovereign Dao tribulation. It was incomparably dangerous.


    A single misstep and he would really die, his Dao dissipating.


    At this time, it was not appropriate to take action.


    ��Very good, Hollowdark, this sovereign has remembered you! After this sovereign transcends the true sovereign Dao tribulation this time, you��re going to get it!�� Sovereign Qian Kui said in extreme fury.


    But Hollowdark ignored him.. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said with a smile, ��Kid, have you thought it over?��

 Chapter 2795 - Chain Reaction

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Ye Yuan, promise Lord Hollowdark! Tsk tsk, it��s our honor to be able to become a war general under a True Sovereign Heaven!�� Yang Qing urged very shamelessly.


    Huhu, lapdog!


    This guy changed loyalties really quickly!


    ��Sorry, this Ye has no interest in staying in the sea race,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Sovereign Hollowdark��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Kid, are you not giving face to this sovereign?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yes!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was shocked!


    This guy was tired of living!


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment and said, ��Brother Ye, this Yang candidly admits defeat! I acknowledge defeat!��


    He felt that he was domineering enough already.


    But he was not even a fart in front of Ye Yuan!


    This guy puffed himself up at his own cost.


    While him, he was domineering when he should be domineering, and he pretended to be subservient when it was time to pretend to be subservient!


    How much money was face worth?


    But Ye Yuan was different. This guy dared to posture in front of a True Sovereign Heaven too!


    This was using his life to posture!


    ��Hahaha �� Hollowdark, you got snubbed despite showing good intentions! He doesn��t buy it at all!�� When Qian Kui heard that, he said with a loud laugh.


    Just now, Hollowdark made him get deflated. In the end, Ye Yuan gave Hollowdark a backhanded slap, making him feel great.


    Hollowdark��s face was as black as it could be, and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, you��re very good! To dare reject this sovereign, you��re really the first!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then this Ye is really honored!��


    Hollowdark was speechless.


    Yang Qing gave Ye Yuan a big thumbs up.


    Impressive!


    Really awesome!


    Did he find that he was not dying fast enough?


    Sure enough, Hollowdark��s aura got colder and colder, and he said in a low voice, ��Brat, to dare provoke this sovereign, you��re really seeking death!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said smilingly, ��I feel that you all had best not kill me. Otherwise �� something will happen.��


    Hollowdark sneered when he heard that and said, ��What can happen from killing an ant?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��A very, very big thing! Everyone present might die!��


    Everyone was speechless. They were thinking to themselves; was it possible that this guy had lost his mind?


    At present, there were countless powerhouses above the surface of the sea!


    Putting the four great True Sovereign Heavens aside, the four great sea regions�� general level experts had practically all arrived, numbering no less than 15 people!


    Ordinary grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens even reached a terrifying 50 over people!


    As for the other Saint Sovereign Heavens and numerous underlings, there were too many to count.


    In this kind of situation, even if a True Sovereign Heaven was here, they would have to die with regrets too!


    You, a measly little lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, was already impressive to such an extent?


    ��Huhu, very good! This sovereign wants to see today how everyone present dies!�� Hollowdark laughed from fury.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and asked instead, ��Really want to try?��


    Hollowdark snorted coldly and said, ��I really want to try!��


    Done talking, he raised his hand and directly smacked a hand toward Ye Yuan without the slightest hesitation.


    A True Sovereign Heaven making a move, that was simply the might of Heavenly Dao!


    The moment the palm was raised, heaven and earth changed colors!


    Each and every one of the powerhouses present marveled endlessly.


    At the same time, they also marveled at Ye Yuan��s stupidity.


    Provoking a True Sovereign Heaven, this guy was absolutely a fool!


    However, Ye Yuan clearly would not resign himself to death.


    In the instant that Hollowdark raised his hand, Ye Yuan��s figure instantly disappeared from where he originally was!


    A hint of surprise appeared in Qian Kui��s eyes.


    Yes, this kid was actually rushing towards him!


    Did he feel that he would not kill him?


    Smacking a Saint Sovereign Heaven to death was about the same as smacking an ant to death.


    Whatever divergent cultivator, whatever genius, no matter how monstrous your prowess, you were also not a match for my one palm.


    ��Humph! Want to die under this sovereign��s hands? Forget it. I��ll fulfill your wish!��


    Sovereign Qian Kui raised his palm too and was prepared to smack Ye Yuan to death.


    But, right at this time, his expression changed wildly!


    Because Ye Yuan broke through at this time!


    Because of Ye Yuan��s breakthrough, Sovereign Qian Kui��s true sovereign Dao tribulation arrived ahead of schedule!


    Rumble ��


    Above the sky, dark clouds rolled.


    Almost instantly, the air pressure dropped to the point where it was impossible to breathe.


    Ye Yuan��s power alone was naturally unable to call down such a terrifying Dao tribulation.


    But, he and Sovereign Qian Kui two people, their Dao tribulations would be frightening!


    His confidence was also precisely related to this!


    Originally, when Sovereign Qian Kui descended, Ye Yuan felt worried too.


    But, when he revealed his true body, Ye Yuan suddenly had a trace of feeling in his heart!


    A feeling regarding Dao tribulation!


    After Ye Yuan became a divergent cultivator, he became much more sensitive to Heavenly Dao than ordinary people.


    He sensed that Sovereign Qian Kui��s Dao tribulation seemed to somewhat respond to and cooperate with his own.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart that this was the interaction between Dao tribulations!


    Once he chose to break through, Heavenly Dao would definitely bring down Dao tribulation!


    The so-called divergent cultivator was going against heaven.


    Ye Yuan��s breakthrough would definitely bring down Dao tribulation.


    Ye Yuan was at peak lower Saint Sovereign Heaven to begin with. Fighting bitterly at sea these few days, his realm almost could not be suppressed anymore.


    So that was why previously, he would call out: I��m going to transcend tribulation, this sort of words.


    And his Dao tribulation was not an ordinary Dao tribulation.


    Judging from past experiences, it would likely be at least five-nine Dao tribulation.


    Above the sky, the wind and clouds were surging. It was more terrifying than any of Ye Yuan��s previous tribulations.


    Sovereign Qian Kui��s expression changed wildly, and he said with horror in his heart, ��How can this be? Why would the true sovereign Dao tribulation this time be so terrifying?��


    He felt it. The true sovereign Dao tribulation this time was much stronger than he anticipated!


    He looked towards Ye Yuan in astonishment, knowing where the problem lay.


    ��Motherfucker, just what kind of freak is this boy, to actually incur such jealousy from heaven? I was �� brought in by him?�� Sovereign Qian Kui gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Once the true sovereign Dao tribulation started, it could no longer be stopped!


    Ye Yuan had long anticipated it and said with a loud laugh, ��No need to thank me. I said before not to kill me, you guys didn��t listen ����


    And right at this time, the pressure above the sky suddenly doubled!


    Sovereign Hollowdark��s expression changed wildly, and he said, ��My �� My true sovereign Dao tribulation arrived as well?��


    His voice had yet to fade when the Dao tribulation above the void increased several times again!


    The sea level became turbulent at this time!


    The sea was even pressed into a concave shape by this pressure.


    It could be seen how terrifying this Dao tribulation was!


    ��Freaking hell, my True Sovereign Dao Tribulation came too!�� Sardine said exasperatedly.


    ��Mine came as well!�� While Tian Hui smiled bitterly.


    ��Mine arrived too! What the hell! Your Father just overcame the saint sovereign Dao tribulation ten years ago!�� A Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse let loose a torrent of abuse.


    ��Yours was ten years. Your Father just overcame the tribulation last year!��


    �� ��


    At this time, the powerhouses at Saint Sovereign Heaven and above were all hurling all kinds of profanities.


    Because each and every one of them felt their Dao tribulations were coming.


    Some had even just transcended their tribulations a few months ago.


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was stunned too.


    Was this �� a chain reaction?


    Not to such an extent, right?


    So, the hundreds of powerhouses present were going to transcend tribulation collectively?


    ��Goodness gracious, my saint sovereign Dao tribulation arrived too! I just succeeded in transcending my tribulation before setting out to sea! Ye Yuan you heaven-damned, you��re killing me!�� Yang Qing also let loose a torrent of abuse.. He failed to avoid it too.

 Chapter 2796 - Endless Lightning Prison!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    The Dao tribulation pressure grew stronger and stronger, akin to the apocalypse.


    The powerhouses above the surface of the sea were all akin to facing a great enemy; in a constant state of anxiety.


    If it was an ordinary Dao tribulation, then forget it.


    Yet, the power of each of their Dao tribulation increased by a lot!


    Three laws became five laws, five laws became seven laws, and seven laws even became eight and nine laws!


    When Ye Yuan saw this kind of chain reaction, he could not help but be stunned.


    ��Consider yourself ruthless! Your Father isn��t playing with you anymore, goodbye!��


    One of the grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens could not withstand this terrifying to the extreme pressure and immediately left.


    Boom!


    An electric snake directly fell, seemingly from above his head.


    That person did not even let out a scream and kicked the bucket.


    He could not run!


    Everyone��s faces turned pale, having looks of despair.


    ��ARRHH! Brat who is surnamed Ye, I��m going to kill you! Mine �� Mine is Three Calamity Dao Tribulation!�� Qian Kui bellowed as if feeling a great terror.


    Nine-nine became one calamity, 81 power of rules!


    Three Calamities Dao Tribulation, that was three nine-nine Dao tribulations!


    It did not sound like much, but nine-nine turning into one calamity, this was a qualitative improvement.


    The Dao tribulation��s power would also increase significantly!


    This Calamity Dao Tribulation was exclusive to True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    However, in reality, many True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were not qualified to reach a Calamity Dao Tribulation.


    The first time many True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse transcended their tribulation, it was also merely seven-nine Dao tribulation or eight-nine Dao tribulation. Nine-nine Dao tribulations were very few.


    But, once it reached nine-nine Dao tribulation, it would also be a One Calamity Dao Tribulation. That was dangerous.


    What Sovereign Qian Kui transcended before was a One Calamity Dao Tribulation. He barely managed to succeed in overcoming the tribulation.


    Logically speaking, this fourth Dao Tribulation should be a Two Calamity Dao Tribulation.


    But this time, it directly became a Three Calamity Dao Tribulation!


    Huge crisis!


    Too terrifying!


    He was not even sure about a Two Calamity Dao Tribulation. Three Calamity Dao Tribulation, wasn��t he dead for sure?


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Lord Sovereign, don��t be angry. Once you get angry, the Dao tribulation will come down immediately, I warned you before!��


    When Qian Kui heard that, he could not help but suffocate.


    Yeah, Ye Yuan warned previously not to make a move against him.


    But why would he take the words of a measly little lower Saint Sovereign Heaven to heart?


    It was merely a slap; was there a need?


    But it was this slap that caused a problem!


    It caused a big problem!


    ��Shit, mine is a Three Calamity Dao Tribulation too!��


    ��Damn, me too!��


    ��Fucking brat, you �� you harmed this sovereign to death!��


    The other three great True Sovereign Heavens also started screaming wildly.


    At this very moment, they had already cussed out Ye Yuan��s 18 generations of ancestors.


    But it was useless!


    Among the three of them, some had just transcended a One Calamity Dao Tribulation. Originally, transcending tribulation this sort of thing had nothing to do with them.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan��s tribulation was like a small flame.


    The small flame ignited Qian Kui this big flame. The big flame burned bigger and bigger, igniting all of them.


    With this, it exploded!


    At this very moment, one should not look at how Ye Yuan was calm. His scalp was also tingling currently.


    His Dao tribulation that came was not a five-nine Dao tribulation!


    It was a six-nine Dao tribulation!


    Did this �� all freaking skipped?


    Six-nine Dao tribulation, it was virtually the pinnacle of grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Because if it went a step further, it would be seven-nine Dao tribulation.


    Seven-nine Dao tribulation, that was the tribulation of True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    Six-nine Dao tribulation to deal with a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven, it must be said that Heavenly Dao thought highly of him.


    ��Hahaha �� boy, you��re six-nine Dao tribulation! You��re dead for sure! Dead for sure!�� Sovereign Qian Kui felt the strongest response with Ye Yuan. He could not help bursting out laughing when he sensed Ye Yuan��s Dao tribulation.


    This guy bit off his own head!


    Six-nine Dao tribulation, the pinnacle of Saint Sovereign Heaven. This punk definitely could not overcome it!


    Seeing Ye Yuan die miserably under the Dao tribulation, he was very happy!


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, ��When I just broke through Saint Sovereign Heaven, I directly transcended a nine law Dao tribulation. Then, on the day I became a divergent cultivator, I transcended a three-nine Dao tribulation! This time, I originally planned to transcend a five-nine Dao tribulation. Now that I��m transcending a six-nine Dao tribulation, what are you all excited about? Fighting with heaven is so much fun!��


    Qian Kui: ���� ����


    Hollowdark: ���� ����


    Was this fellow still human?


    They knew that Ye Yuan was monstrous but did not know that he was monstrous until it reached this level!


    Broke through to Saint Sovereign Heaven and immediately transcended tribulation?


    Transcended three-nine Dao tribulation on that day?


    Three-nine Dao tribulation, that was upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, alright?


    No wonder!


    No wonder this boy was so monstrous, turning the entire sea upside down!


    At this time, above the void ��


    How was there any void? The tribulation clouds were exactly almost above their heads!


    Looking from a distance, the sea had practically connected into one stretch with the tribulation clouds.


    Following that, an extremely spectacular scene appeared!


    A series of electric snakes of different thicknesses descended from the sky and slowly fell!


    Yes, it was not fast!


    But it gave people a misconception that the world was seemingly going to be destroyed.


    Looking from a distance, that stretch of ocean looked like an endless lightning prison.


    The lifeforms in the lightning prison were currently receiving the baptism of terrifying rules.


    Under the tribulation clouds, everyone��s expressions changed wildly.


    Strong!


    Too strong!


    This feeling of awaiting death was really sour!


    ��Goodness, I can��t do it anymore! I��m going to die! Ye Yuan, you heaven-damned, you caused people great harm! I won��t let you off even if I become a ghost!�� Yang Qing��s arms and legs waved around as he cried out strangely over and over again.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes.


    This guy was really a living treasure.


    What Yang Qing was transcending was a five-nine Dao tribulation. It was also very dangerous to him.


    However, Ye Yuan felt that there should not be a problem for him to overcome it.


    While talking, the Dao tribulation fell.


    The Dao sword shone brightly between Ye Yuan��s brows!


    Swoosh!


    The Dao sword flew out, pointing straight at the firmament!


    Ye Yuan held the Dao sword in his hand, his entire body and mind pouring into the Dao sword.


    Going against Dao, one would have to draw their sword and point at heaven!


    From then on, he would no longer rely on external forces to transcend tribulations, but only by relying on himself!


    He was fearless and not afraid!


    Everyone was doing their best, resisting the Dao tribulation.


    The entire world was quiet!


    Yes, it was the calm before the storm.


    Only one figure faced those countless Dao tribulations and rose to the sky!


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    Suddenly, the surface of the sea burst apart!


    Tsunamis instantly swept up!


    ��ARGH!!��


    ��ARGH!!��


    ��ARGH!!��


    �� ��


    Miserable screams rose and ebbed.


    When the first round of Dao tribulation fell, many people immediately turned to ashes.


    The Dao tribulation was too strong!


    Qian Kui gave a muffled groan, his entire person suddenly slumping a lot.


    The power of the Three Calamity Dao Tribulation directly caused him to be seriously injured.


    There was none among the other three great True Sovereign Heavens who was not like this.


    Ye Yuan��s entire person was blasted into the sea.


    The power of the six-nine Dao tribulation was too terrifying!


    What was the most powerful thing in this world?


    Great Dao Transformation?


    That was merely a form of recognition from Great Dao!


    What was truly powerful was Heavenly Dao itself!


    ��Haha �� Again!��


    Ye Yuan roared wildly, rising into the sky again!


    Dao tribulation fell again!


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Was there anyone who transcended tribulations like this?


    The power of Ye Yuan��s Dao tribulation was not the strongest, but he appeared so out-of-place among this group of people.


    Everyone was suffering silently.


    Meanwhile, he drew his sword and asked heaven!


    Boom!


    Without the slightest surprise, Ye Yuan was slammed into the sea again.


    And right at this time, Qian Kui suddenly rampaged and dashed straight toward Ye Yuan this side.


    ��Boy, if this sovereign is going to die, you��ll have to be buried with me too!�� Qian Kui roared wildly.

 Chapter 2797 - What a Wrongful Death!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    After enduring the first Three Calamity Dao Tribulation, Qian Kui knew that he could not bear it!


    He completely could not take it at all!


    The Three Calamity Dao Tribulation was too terrifying!


    After one bolt, his three spiritual and seven physical souls were almost scattered entirely!


    Therefore, he was going to drag Ye Yuan to die together! What right did this guy have to not die?


    Bringing the terrifying Dao tribulation, Qian Kui pounced over frantically.


    Sovereign Qian Kui��s Dao tribulation was Three Calamity Dao Tribulation!


    Even if Ye Yuan was an exceedingly freakish monster, under Three Calamity Dao Tribulation, it would be certain death too.


    Seeing this scene, a hint of delight flashed across the corners of the mouths of Hollowdark and the others.


    Is this boy finally going to die?


    Ought to be!


    How many people did you drag down the water?!


    Hollowdark the three of them were about to cry.


    Why did they have to get involved in this messy situation? If he wanted to take the sea route, wouldn��t it have been fine to let him go?


    Having a few generals die, having a few grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens die, what did it count for?


    He was dead for sure now, damn it!


    Sniff sniff�� Dead for sure!


    ��Hahaha�� Three Calamity Dao Tribulation, see if you still don��t die!��


    Sovereign Qian Kui let out a wild laugh. This distance was merely an instant to him.


    But, just as his body stepped into the region Ye Yuan was undergoing tribulation, a sudden turn of events happened.


    Boom!


    A bolt of incomparably thick electric snake fell with a loud bang.


    This Dao tribulation was much stronger than previously!


    Qian Kui did not even have time to let out a scream and directly turned into nothingness.


    A True Sovereign Heaven was dead!


    Although Sovereign Qian Kui died under the Dao tribulation, everyone felt that it was Ye Yuan who entrapped him to death.


    After all, if not for Ye Yuan, it would also have been impossible for Sovereign Qian Kui��s Dao tribulation to have arrived now.


    Everyone was dumbstruck with amazement!


    What happened?


    ��F-Five calamity! Five Calamity Dao Tribulation! It became a Five Calamity Dao Tribulation!�� Hollowdark cried out strangely.


    When transcending tribulation, how many tribulation it was, was how many it was. It was never heard of that the number of tribulations could still increase!


    Really broadened horizons!


    ��Who else?�� Ye Yuan laughed coldly and looked at Hollowdark as he said.


    Hollowdark��s neck shrank, and he immediately withered up.


    Holy hell, what was going on?


    Ye Yuan secretly scolded stupid. He was a divergent cultivator. Furthermore, he was an extremely monstrous divergent cultivator.


    You used your Dao tribulation to smite me?


    Even if you were willing, was heaven willing?


    You were fucking fighting heaven for its job, wasn��t this courting death?


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan raised his sword to the sky, meeting the Dao tribulation again; incomparably fierce.


    However, in the next second, he was slammed into the sea again mercilessly.


    However, Ye Yuan did not mind!


    Only by experiencing the baptism of Dao tribulation could he become stronger!


    All around, miserable cries lingered on incessantly.


    In the lightning prison, the Dao tribulation was too strong!


    This was heaven��s wrath!


    Under heaven��s wrath, who could survive?


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Bolts of Dao tribulation fell, the Saint Sovereign Heavens who died became more and more.


    Originally, there were hundreds of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in this sea.


    In a blink, there were only a scanty 30 people remaining.


    The auras of the three great True Sovereign Heavens became weaker and weaker.


    Finally, Sardine could not hold on anymore and was killed by the Dao tribulation that landed!


    The power of Three Calamity Dao Tribulation was too terrifying!


    Two of the four great True Sovereign Heavens were gone!


    ��ARGGHH! Damn it! Ye Yuan, I��m going to die! Hurry up and come save me! No, you��d better not come. Once you come, I��ll die even faster!�� Yang Qing��s body was covered in injuries, but he was full of energy.


    This guy was really stubborn enough.


    Ye Yuan also had no choice but to admire this guy��s strength.


    He himself was also unbelievably weak right now.


    But his Dao sword grew stronger and stronger!


    The stronger the Dao tribulation, the greater the benefits that he got!


    Very soon, Tian Hui could not hold on either and was smote to death by the Dao tribulation.


    Four great True Sovereign Heavens, there was only Hollowdark alone left.


    However, he was also at death��s door and almost kicking the bucket.


    ��ARGH! I hate it! Ye Yuan, this sovereign is cursing you to be torn to shreds by Heavenly Dao!��


    Carrying strong unwillingness, Hollowdark also passed on.


    The masters of four great sea regions all perished in less than two hours!


    No idea how long had passed. Everything returned to tranquility.


    Above the sea, it was calm and tranquil, as if nothing had happened, except for the massive corpses floating on the sea.


    Everything seemed to be a dreadful sight to behold.


    With a Dao tribulation, the powerhouses of four great sea regions practically all dwindled to zero!


    Whalebillow looked toward that weak to the extreme young figure as if looking at a devil.


    Yes, Whalebillow did not die!


    He actually pulled through! He himself did not dare to believe it either!


    What he overcame was the same as Yang Qing, five-nine Dao tribulation!


    He actually did not die!


    As if feeling Whalebillow��s gaze, Ye Yuan grinned and said weakly, ��What are you looking at? Shouldn��t you be thanking me now? After this tribulation, you��ll probably be these four great sea regions�� new master!��


    Whalebillow was speechless.


    What Ye Yuan said was right. He was very weak now.


    But he could feel that his body was brimming with vigorous vitality and was currently growing like crazy.


    This Dao tribulation let him pry into the door of a new world!


    The True Sovereign Heaven gate was originally difficult to open. But because of this incident, it revealed the tiniest gap to him.


    General level powerhouses were elites among elites of the sea race to begin with, their talents being extremely strong.


    This Dao tribulation was destruction and also new life!


    He was the only war general who survived!


    Apart from him, there were also three Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Several hundred Saint Sovereign Heavens, only the four of them survived!


    But, experiencing this Dao tribulation was a baptism to them.


    Their future road would be even broader!


    ��You �� You��re not killing me?�� Whalebillow said fearfully.


    This was not instinctive fear, but that he saw that Ye Yuan freaking swallowed another heavenly pill!


    In this short while, Ye Yuan quickly recovered!


    F*ck!


    ��We don��t have a life-or-death feud either. Kill you for what? I originally didn��t want to kill people. It was you all who forced the situation to become what it is now one step at a time. If we really want to say it out, the culprit behind this situation is you!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Whalebillow stared dumbfoundedly.


    Yeah!


    A frenzied pursuit that lasted close to a month, chasing until everyone in the four great sea regions was in an uproar, and even four great True Sovereign Heavens moved out.


    But, tracing back to the source, the cause was merely a bit of face!


    Qian Kui Sea Region��s face!


    His, Whalebillow��s, face!


    Later, Whalebillow naturally knew that Ye Yuan had shown mercy previously.


    But, at that time, he could not pull back anymore.


    In the end, this was like a vortex, getting bigger as it spun.


    In the end, even True Sovereign Heavens were swept in.


    Then �� everyone died!


    The four great True Sovereign Heavens died so unjustly!


    It was just that before this, who could have thought that chasing down a measly little lower Saint Sovereign Heaven could cause such terrifying consequences?


    ��F*ck, stop chatting, I�� I��m dying! Ye Yuan, h-hurry up and save me!�� Yang Qing said weakly.


    The current Yang Qing was incomparably miserable.


    His lower body was directly blown away.


    The two arms only had one upper arm left, becoming a human stick.


    His entire person was weak to the extreme.


    However, this guy actually advanced!


    This guy broke through to half-step True Sovereign Heaven!


    Ye Yuan threw a heavenly pill to him. This guy��s severed limbs were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    When Whalebillow saw this scene, he was envious to the extreme.


    This heavenly pill was really freaking awesome!


    Meanwhile, he would probably have to recuperate for a few years before he could recover to his peak.


    Ye Yuan brought Yang Qing away. Whalebillow looked at the two people��s disappearing backs, his gaze flickering as he said, ��In the future, when humans pass through our sea region, we absolutely mustn��t provoke them!��


    ��Yes!�� The other three Saint Sovereign Heavens replied immediately.


    At this time, Whalebillow was the supreme ruler of the four great sea regions!


    Ye Yuan did not know that he blazed a sea route for those who set out to sea.

 Chapter 2798 - Blood Race!

    Transtator: Atlas Studios


    Editor: Atlas Studios


    At the Heaven One Continent��s land of extreme north.


    Above the sea, there was a huge region


    This place had heavy fog all year round. Furthermore, it was very strange. Even


    divine sense was unable to penetrate it.


    The powerhouses who entered this heavy fog had never been seen to come out


    before


    In the course of time, this place became a region where few people tread.


    Hence, people called it the restricted area of the sea.


    However, at this time, there were indistinct figures in the large fog. There was


    actually an army hiding in it.


    In this army, each person emitted powerful blood energy from their body.


    There were two of them whose blood energies were the most exuberant!


    These two people, one was called Han Guang, the other was called Chile.


    They were the commanders of the army, True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    ��Commander Han Guang, this large fog created by the Fog Rain Cloud


    Swallowing Beast is really the best place to hide our whereabouts!�� Chile said


    with a laugh.


    Han Guang nodded and said, ��If not for this region, it��s very hard to hide our


    blood energy. Wanting to launch a surprise attack would realy not be easy


    Fortunately, this Fog Rain Cloud Swallowing Beast that the few lord blood


    emperors killed didn��t set off any waves either.��


    There are still ten days. Once Commander Lou Chuan they all arrive, we��ll be


    able to launch a surprise attack! At that time, those lowly humans will


    definitely get a big shock! Hahaha�� Talking about how he was pleased with


    himself, Chile could not refrain from letting out a loud laugh.


    Han Guang also smiled and said, ��Yeah, all of their energy is at the south. They


    absolutely won��t think that Hegemon Bloodsky crossed worlds and came,


    opening a spatial passageway at sea and launching a sudden raid from the


    northernmost end! The northern cities don��t have many powerhouses. We just


    have to occupy a few cities and gain a firm foothold. They will be attacked in


    front and from the rear! This Heaven One Continent will be ours!��


    When talking, the two people seemed very excited.


    Suddenly, Han Guang��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Mn?�� Someone barged in!


    Mie Chen, you bring a team of 100 and kill these humans!


    ��I obey!


    Ahalf-step True Sovereign Heaven immediately stepped out of the ranks,


    bringing 100 Saint Sovereign Heaven subordinates and entering the fog.


    Eleven years had already passed since the Dao tribulation annihilated the True


    Sovereign Heavens.


    Ye Yuan five people arrived at the periphery of Heaven One Continent, being


    even more cautious.


    At that time, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing caused an uproar in the sea regions. All


    the powerhouses were drawn away by the two of them.


    Big Yellow, Jingfei, and Xiao Qing they all were left alone.


    Ye Yuan looked at the nautical chart in his hands and said with a smile, ��We��re


    already very close to Heaven One Continent! After passing through this fog,


    we��ll be there!


    The moment Yang Qing heard, he said excitedly, ��Hahaha.. A new continent!


    This exalt is going to dominate this continent! Only I am invincible!


    Xiao Qing fawned on him by the side. ��Master is amazingly talented and will


    definitely reach the top within a thousand years, dominating the continent


    again


    Yang Qing had a smug lookas he said, ��Xiao Qing, at that time, you��ll be the


    number one true spirit under my command! Ye Yuan, you��ll be the number


    divine general under me!


    By the side, Ye Yuan three people rolled their eyes.


    Who gave these two fellows the courage?


    Reckon that most of the time, Yang Qing would have to pretend to be


    subservient, right?


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he said in shock and anger,


    Careful!


    His voice had yet to fade when a hundred figures emerged from the fog8


    besieging the five people from all directions!


    But Yang Qing was not fearful and said with a loud laugh, ��Saint Exalt


    Azuresky��s journey to hegemony will begin with you guys! Watch my spear!��


    Boom!


    Yang Qing and his opponent forcibly exchanged a blow, and he was actually


    repelled by the other party. He could not help getting a shock.


    The other party was clearly somewhat surprised too, not expecting that Yang


    Qing��s strength was actually so strong


    Ye Yuan was not courteous, directly blowing up a grand completion Saint


    Sovereign Heaven that rushed forward with one punch!


    Big Yellow, Jingfei, and Xiao Qing, each used their own means to attack the


    enemy.


    However, among this team of 100, the weakest was also middle Saint Sovereign


    Heaven. The majority were upper Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    This line-up was rather scary!


    They were not at all inferior to the seafolks who hunted Ye Yuan down back


    then!


    At present, Jingfei already reached middle Saint Sovereign Heaven too. Coupled


    with the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, her combat power was quite strong.


    Big Yellow went without saying; he already reached peak upper Saint Sovereign


    Heaven. He was not the slightest bit afraid when facing off against grand


    completion Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    However, the difference in numbers still put a lot of pressure on the three of


    them.


    Ye Yuan was different. His aura released, ending one with one punch!


    Having transcended the six-nine Dao tribulation, the middle Saint Sovereign


    Heaven Ye Yuan��s strength was already extremely terrifying.


    He fought with the half-step True Sovereign Heaven Yang Qing before, beating


    the other party until he howled.


    Therefore, even if it wasa Great Dao Transformation grand completion Saint


    Sovereign Heaven, Ye Yuan killed them very casually too.


    He dealt one punch each, directly beating the other party into a cloud of blood


    mist.


    But very soon, Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted.


    He discovered to his horror and those powerhouses who were blown apart by


    him, their physical bodies actually condensed again!


    Apart from their auras being slightly weaker, their strength actually did not


    change much!


    This shock was by no means insigmificant!


    In the sea of consciousness, Mi Tian cried out in surprise, ��It��s the blood race!


    Why would Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven have so many members of the


    blood race?


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, ��Blood race?


    Mi Tian said, ��The blood race is an extremely powerful race. They are powerful


    and extremely aggressive! The blood race relies on devouring the blood of all


    races to strengthen themselves! The most terifying thing is that the life force


    of the blood race is extremely tenacious. Even if there��s still a drop of blood


    left, they can also re-condense their physical bodies anew!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly from listening.


    Revival from a drop of blood!


    This was equivalent to a race that could not be killed!


    Unless your strength was much stronger than his. Otherwise, there was no way


    of killing the other party at all.


    ��So that��s how it is! In that case, if we want to kill them, we can only


    completely obliterate them/�� Ye Yuan said.


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��That��s right! Wanting to kill them, there��s only one


    way; we need to use absolute strength and completely wipe them out!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Understood! Yang Qjng, you hold back that


    half-step True Sovereign Heaven; leave the rest to me!��


    Yang Qing shouted, ��Fucking hurry up! These guys can��t be killed at all. I


    almost can��t hold on anymore!��


    Facing Mie Chen by himself, Yang Qing naturally had the strength to fight. But,


    next to him, there was a large group of Saint Sovereign Heavens harassing. He


    was under tremendous pressure now too.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, Universe Sword Formation releasing grandly!


    In an instant, it enveloped all of these Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    ��KILL!


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly, the Universe Sword Fomation directly launching the


    strongest attack.


    Clouds of blood mist exploded with a loud bang!


    After experiencing the six-nine Dao tribulation, the power of Ye Yuan��s


    Universe Sword Formation directly increased a lot!


    These Saint Sovereign Heavens were not opponents that could last one


    exchange with him at all!


    Only those transformation grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens could


    barely manage to block for a few rounds.


    But very soon, they were killed too.


    Ye Yuan��s Universe Sword Formation directly transformed into a meat grinder!


    Those blood race members that revived were also directly annihilated by Ye


    Yuan.


    However, the power of the Universe Sword Formation was too scattered in the


    end. It was unable to completely wipe out these blood race members.


    Ye Yuan did not care and continued garroting.


    Toward the back, it was filled with blood mist inside the sword formation.


    Over there, when Mie Chen, who was fighting fiercely with Yang Qing, saw this


    scene, his pupils could not help constricting.


    He thought that Yang Qing was the strongest one in this party, so his first


    target was to lock onto him.


    As for Ye Yuan, he did not take him seriously at all.


    But only now did he know that Ye Yuan��s strength was much stronger than


    even Yang Qing!

 Chapter 2799 - Killing True Sovereign!

    Translator: Atlas Studios


    Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Hahaha�� Foolish human, you can��t kill us!��


    After a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven revived, he laughed wildly


    and said to Ye Yuan.


    The blood race��s revival from a drop of blood had a great impact on humans.


    An opponent that could not be killed was sufficient to make people��s will


    collapse!


    Is that so? Isn��t your revivals getting increasingly slower?


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly, suddenly pulling back his divine essence. The Universe


    Sword Formation immediately disappeared.


    Sure enough, just as he talked, he killed many times in a row, the recovery


    speed of these blood race members clearly became much slower.


    Dragon might overflowed from Ye Yuan��s body!


    Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist!


    Ye Yuan threw a punch out, directly slamming onto a cloud of blood mist.


    That cloud of blood mist directly turned into nothingness.


    With this, the world became clean.


    The pupils of that grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven shrunk, and he


    cried out in alarm, ��This. How is this possible?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Is there anyone who can��t be killed in this world? It��s just


    that your numbers are a lot, so I was wearing you all down first!


    Done talking, he slammed another punch out, obliterating another blood race


    member again.


    In terms of large-area attacking means, the Universe Sword Formation was


    indeed unparalleled. It could magnify Ye Yuan��s strength several times over.


    But in terms of single- target attack, the Universe Sword Formation was


    inferior to the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s bloodline evolved into battle spirit level true dragon


    bloodline. The power that this move erupted with was dozens of times of his


    power!


    Furthermore, this power was concentrated in a single point, the destructive


    power extremely strong


    It was perfect for obliterating the blood race.


    Ye Yuan dealt a punch each, the numbers of the blood race could be seen


    reducing ata speed visible to the naked eye.


    Boom!


    That grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven was also directly obliterated by


    one punch.


    In the depths of the fog, Han Guang��s expression changed.


    He could sense through bloodline that his subordinates were vanishing one by


    one at an extremely fast speed.


    ��What��s wrong, Lord Han Guang? It��s merely a few Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Could it be that Mie Chen can��t take care of it?


    Chile��s perception was lacking, but seeing Han Guang��s expression, he


    immediately understood something.


    A hint of shock flashed across Han Guang��s eyes, and he said, ��There��s only


    Mie Chen alone left!��


    What?! Could it be . a True Sovereign Heaven? Chile��s shock was by no means


    insignificant


    Han Guang shook his head and said, ��One half-step True Sovereign Heaven,


    the others are all ordinary Saint Sovereign Heavens, there isn��t even a grand


    completion one. Mn?Mie Chen died too!��


    This time, Han Guang was really shocked.


    Died too quickly!


    It was less than 15 minutes from start to end.


    Unless the blood race encountered an opponent whose strength greatly


    exceeds their own, they would never die so quickly.


    The half-step True Sovereign Heaven Mie Chen could practically capture same


    rank opponents with ease.


    Even if he encountered a monster from the human race, he could always run


    away if he could not beat.


    Now, they were all dead!


    ��No can do! They are going to pass through the fog! They already know that


    we��re lying in ambush here. If they bring this news over, then all of our


    previous efforts will be wasted! Chile, you bring people over to kill them! No,


    everyone move out! You must kill them!��


    ��These blood race members made a surprise attack on you all. They have


    probably already discovered you guys. There might be a great conspiracy for


    them to lie in ambush here!�� Mi Tian.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��In this case, we have to bring the news to Heaven


    One Continent and inform the humans there!��


    Ye Yuan also did not expect to actually run into this sort of thing before


    entering Heaven One Continent.


    Those that came out to ambush them already had a half-step True Sovereign


    Heaven Realm. There was probably a True Sovereign Heaven existence in the


    depths of the fog!


    ��Retreat!


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly, his figure retreating explosively.


    ��It��s too late!


    A figure came out of the void and struck a palm towards Yang Qing.


    This palm was incredibly fearsome. It was precisely Chile!


    ��ARGH!Why is it me again? F*ck, I��m not the strongest, you idiot!��


    Yang Qing cried out strangely, but his figure dodged bizarrely and actually


    avoided this certain-kill strike!


    Chile��s pupils constricted, looking at Yang Qing rather astonishedly.


    This half-step True Sovereign Heaven actually evaded his charged blow.


    However


    After getting a shock, a hint of a cruel smile flashed across the corners of


    Chile��s mouth.


    This move of his was not a killing move at all!


    The real killing move was Han Guang


    Right at this instant, the five people withdrew out of the fog


    And right at this moment, a large palm fell from the sky!


    The power was completely incomparable to Chile!


    The lethal blow of a middle True Sovereign Heaven was akin to doomsday to a


    Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Nowhere to avoid!


    ��Really dead for sure this time!�� Yang Qing cried out strangely.


    Big Yellow and the rest could not even move a muscle under this palm!


    Han Guangs strength was completely not on the same level as Chile��s.


    Above the void, Han Guang was expressionless.


    Killing a few Saint Sovereign Heavens was merely a matter of lifting a hand to


    him.


    Even if they were half-step True Sovereign Heavens, they would be inadequate


    too.


    But right at this time, an incomparably terrifying force suddenly burst forth


    beneath his palm.


    This power made him feel heart palpitations.


    Chile��s face originally carried a mocking smile. But at this time, his expression


    changed wildly.


    Commander Han Guang, be careful!��


    Yet, it was already too late!


    This astonishing sword directly chopped apart the giant palm, heading straight


    for his main body.


    This sword shone with boundless radiance and was extremely dazzling, forcing


    everyone until they could not open their eyes!


    When this sword appeared, it seemed as if it was going to chop the firmament!


    Chile, who was not far away, his breathing was about to stop.


    Pfft!


    Han Guang��s body was actually directly smashed by this sword!


    Everyone present opened their mouths wide, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    This sword was released by Ye Yuan!


    No one would have thought that a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven would kill a


    middle True Sovereign Heaven with one sword!


    He directly crossed a large realm to kill the enemy!


    This sword already surpassed cultivation realm!


    This. Lord Han Guang was actually killed by one sword? w-What kind of joke


    is this?


    ��What a dazzling sword! Is this human really middle Saint SovereignHeaven?


    ��Earlier, I thought that the strongest was that half-step True Sovereign


    Heaven; 1 didn��t expect that it��s this unremarkable fellow!


    Before this sword move, nobody took Ye Yuan seriously.


    Among the five people, Ye Yuan was not even as good as Jingfei.


    But this sword made Ye Yuan seemingly look dazzling to the extreme.


    Dao sword!


    The strongest sword that Ye Yuan unleashed, the power was far more powerful


    than the A1-Encompassing Sacred Tree��s Sword of Heaven Killing!


    This was Ye Yuan��s sword of defying Dao, all of his comprehensions in this life.


    Similarly, it was a sword that was unleashed using his life!


    After unleashing a sword, Ye Yuan��s complexion was pale to the extreme, like a


    living dead.


    ��Big Yellow


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly. Actually, there was no need for his order. Big Yellow


    already carried Ye Yuan and scurried into the fog again.


    And everyone was still in shock.


    No one even went to stop them.


    Yang Qing three people had long known about Ye Yuan��s trump card and also


    followed after instantly.


    Above the void, that cloud of blood mist that was smashed apart by Ye Yuan


    attempted to condense together.


    But it could not do it!


    Under this sword��s slash, the blood race actually found it difficult to revive!


    Chile and the rest actually forgot to chase for a moment.


    ��Commander Han Guang, are you alright?�� Chile asked worriedly.


    Finally, that cloud of blood mist recondensed.


    Han Guang was alarmed and furious to the extreme, shouting loudly, ��Chase!


    What are you all in a daze for?��

 Chapter 2800 - Secretly Killing!

    Translatcr: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Chile, chase after! Kill them for me!��


    Han Guang?s angry roar reverberated above the sea.


    One sword inflicted heavy wounds onto him!


    What Ye Yuan��s sword chopped was his Dao!


    The current Han Guang, although he revived, his strength was greatly


    diminished and was not even as good as Chile.


    Actually, without waiting for Han Guang?s instructions, Chile chased into the


    fog right away,


    But, merely a short while later , he retreated again.


    ��Commander Han Guang, their auras disappeared!�� Chile said with a solemn


    expression,


    Han Guang?s gaze turned intent, and he shouted angrily, ��Everyone heeds my


    order. Conduct a carpet search in the fog! Once you discover their traces, kill


    without amnesty!��


    This army was composed of 5000 blood race Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    After obeying the order , 5000 people searched the fog in an orderly manner,


    Han Guang and Chile also entered the fog. However, Han Guang��s brows


    immediately knitted together.


    didn��t expect that that punk is actually a divergent cultivator! Furthermore,


    he��s so powerful!- Han Guang was also stunned by Ye Yuan��s sword.


    Directly crossing a major realm to chop the enemy, what kind of terrifying


    strength was this?


    If not for the tenacious vitality of the blood race, he would have immediately


    died from that just now!


    to hide in this fog!�� Chile said in a solemn voice.


    Han Guangs gaze flickered, and he said somberly, ?you go straight to the other


    side to guard. We absolutely cant let them enter Heaven One Continent! That


    boy only has the power of one strike. presently, his Dao sword suffered


    damage. It��s absolutely impossible to slash out a second time! As long as they


    dare to show their faces, kill them! I��ll wait for Commander Luo Chuan they all


    here. Once the army arrives, well immediately charge into Heaven One


    Continent. At that time, whether or not they get out won��t matter anymore!��


    Chiles expression turned somber, and he obeyed the order and left.


    In the fog, the figures of Ye Yuan and the rest became dusky, merging into one


    with the surrounding fog, making it extremely difficult to find.


    In this fog, the Emerald Sea Divine Conch could unleash the greatest effect.


    Even if these Saint Sovereign Heavens passed by them, they could forget about


    finding them too.


    Ye Yuan��s complexion was deathly pale as he said weakly, ��I wont die.


    However, my Dao sword has been severely damaged and needs to be nurtured


    This move held incredible power, but it was a mutual destruction fighting


    The Dao sword was linked to Ye Yuan�� s life. They were bound together for good


    or ill.


    Dao sword was where Ye Yuan��s foundation lay. Once it was executed at full


    power , its power was much stronger than the Sword of Heaven Killing. But the


    sequela was also immense.


    Within half a month, Ye Yuan had no way of taking action.


    Ye Yuan�� s Dao sword was currently in the Myriad Realms Mountain, mrrowing


    the grandmist energy to nurture.


    Grandmist energy was the source of all things. It could nurture the Dao sword.


    If not for this, he would not be able to re-condense the Dao sword within a few


    planning on using it to ambush me, this Heaven One Continent��s overlord?-


    Yang Qing cried out strangely.


    Jingfeis mouth curled, and she said disdainfully , ?With your pathetic


    appearance , Big Brother Ye Yuan can pummel you with one hand. Is there still


    a need to sneak attack you?��


    Yang Qing smiled coldly and said, ��That��s just temporary! This exalt is going to


    break through to True Sovereign Heaven right away. At that time, wouldn��t I


    abuse him a thousand times over?��


    Alou keep talking nonsense, and you can get out for me! Go face the blood race


    army alone by yourself!�� Ye Yuan yelled coldly.


    The moment Yang Qing heard, he indeed shut up sensibly.


    These blood race members were too strong. They could not be killed at all, If he


    went out, it would be certain death!


    ��Master Ye, that True Sovereign Heaven already went to the other side. We


    can��t get out now either. What do we do?�� Big Yellow said worriedly,


    ��Kill!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��This fog is our natural barrier!


    That middle True Sovereign Heaven was heavily wounded by my Dao sword. He


    definitely won��t be able to recover to the peak within a month. The True


    Sovereign Heaven on the other side is afraid of us entering the Heaven One


    Continent. He absolutely won��t dare to come in easily. Then we��ll kill them until


    they are terrified!��


    The moment Yang Qing heard, he could not help being greatly excitedly and


    said, ��Heh heh, this is good, this is good!��


    lingfei, who craved nothing short of the world being plunged into chaos, was


    naturally very excited too.


    With two True Sovereign Heavens around, they had nowhere to hide under the


    Emerald Sea Divine Conch too.


    But, if it was just one True Sovereign Heaven, when the Emerald Sea Divine


    Conch activated water rule and hid in the fog, it was like nature itself!


    They could turn into hunters in the fog.


    And the blood race army would be their prey!


    several times and didn��t even see a damn thing! Could it be that they can still


    evaporate into thin air?��


    They must have some concealment means. We cant lower our guard! ?


    ��Sigh, what methods can they have? That strongest punk is already half- dead!


    But, got to say, that sword of his was really terrifying, to actually kill


    Commander Han Guang with one sword! I��m still a little scared until now!?


    us can��t even set off any waves after spreading in. ?


    A blood race team was currently searching the fog Due to that, their divine


    sense detection range was very small. They could only patrol back and forth


    continuously.


    It was just that three days had passed. They did not find Ye Yuan five peoples


    shadows at all.


    The army of 4900 people split into squads of 49, carrying out a carpet search


    of the entire fog area.


    This squad was one of them.


    At the back of the team, a ball of water quietly enveloped the three people who


    were talking just now, without making a sound-


    These three people were merely middle Saint Sovereign Heavens. Being


    covered up by this ball of water, they got a big shock and instinctively wanted


    to cry for help. But, they could not cry out in the water curtain at alL


    At this time, a figure appeared.


    Yang Qing looked at these three people with a playful face and sudden ly


    stabbed a spear towards one of them.


    This spear did not have the slightest rule fluctuation.


    But, after the tip of the spear pierced into the body of that blood race member,


    a terrifying destructive power exploded in his body.


    That blood race member was directly wiped out by Yang Qing.


    At the same time, the two blood race members beside him also directly turned


    into nothingness without making a sound.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan injected two streams of sword energy and directly


    garroted these two.


    Yang Qing gnashed his teeth in hatred and said angrily, ��You snatched my


    people again!��


    Ye Yuan made a shushing hand gesture, signaling for Yang Qing to leave.


    The two figures escaped into the fog again, disappearing.


    Very soon, another squad passed by them.


    When Yang Qing saw this scene, his expression could not help changing


    slightly.


    They nearly got exposed.


    ��You this fellow, killing people too slowly!�� Ye Yuan looked toward Yang Qing


    and said lightly.


    Yang Qing was angered until his expression was livid, but there was nothing


    that he could do.


    Wanting to immediately obliterate and also not make any sound, it was really


    difficult!


    Sniff yowre really a freak!


    Even killing people is faster than me!

 Chapter 2801 - Breaking Through the Encirclement!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Zi Cheng, the human blood that you got the last time was pretty good. Do you still have any, share a little with me! Zi Cheng? Mn?Zi Cheng?��


    At the tail of the team, a Saint Sovereign Heaven was currently talking to the guy behind.


    But he talked for a long time, and the other party ignored him.


    Turning around to look, his hair could not help standing on end.


    He was gone!


    There were ten people behind him. Why were they all gone silently?


    ��When did they disappear?


    ��Lord Zhao Ming! Lord Zhao Ming! Things are bad! Zi Cheng they all are gone!�� That Saint Sovereign Heave cried out in alarm.


    Lord Zhao Ming was their 100 man team��s captain, a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    ��When Zhao Ming turned around to look, sure enough, he discovered that ten people were missing, and his hair also could not help standing on end.


    Ten people!


    They were gone without even setting off any waves?


    ��Where are they?�� Zhao Ming said in a cold voice.


    ��That Saint Sovereign Heaven smiled bitterly and said, I don��t know either! We were still talking just now, but when I looked back, they were gone!��


    Zhao Ming��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��It must have been done by those guys! They hid in this fog and secretly killed us! No way, we can��t go on searching like this. Otherwise, we��ll die out!��


    Suddenly, Zhao Ming attacked abruptly, hitting into the void.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Very soon, there were two teams of 100 men each that felt this commotion and rushed over.


    ��Where��s the enemy?��


    ��Where are they? Zhao Ming, what are you doing?��


    ��When the two captains came over and discovered that there were no enemies at all, they could not help feeling annoyed.


    Zhao Ming said in a solemn voice, ��You guys quickly check. How many people are missing in your 100 man squad?��


    ��The two captains were taken aback and hurriedly checked their 100 man squads, and their faces could not help changing wildly.


    ��The two teams were missing nine people when added up!


    The scariest thing was that they actually did not notice it at all!


    ��This �� What��s going on here?�� One of the captains said in shock.


    Zhao Ming said in a solemn voice, ��It must be those guys who did it! We can��t continue searching like this. Quickly inform everyone, let��s gather together!��


    The other two captains nodded one after another.


    Very soon, the army was gathered together.


    Upon checking the numbers, more than 300 were missing!


    Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces.


    ��Fu Hai? Where��s Fu Hai? Also �� Also gone?�� Suddenly, a blood race warrior shouted.


    Ahint of strangeness showed on everyone��s faces.


    The army was already gathered, and these few fellows were still stabbing them in the back!


    F*ck!


    We can��t do this!


    ��Quickly go! Can��t stay in this fog anymore!�� Zhao Ming said in a solemn voice.


    Everyone was very much in agreement.


    Hence, the army of 5000 withdrew out of the fog.


    Hearing the reports by Zhao Ming and the others., Han Guang��s expression was incredibly dark.


    ��Damn it! We might not necessarily have so many losses after experiencing a great battle too! These few humans, this commander will definitely kill them!�� Han Guang said furiously.


    Adding in the 100 man squad that was lost previously, this blood race Saint Sovereign Heaven army already lost close to 500 people before even engaging in war!


    ��When their blood race fought with the Heaven One Continent, as long as Emperor Realm powerhouses did not appear, it was very hard for 500 people to die too.


    One had to know, this army was a Saint Sovereign Heaven army!


    Even when facing a 5000 strong human Saint Sovereign Heaven army, they completely crushed them too and absolutely would not suffer such heavy losses!


    The recovery ability of the blood race was extremely strong. The greater the battle, the harder it was for them to be killed.


    But, who knew that after encountering five Saint Sovereign Heavens, they actually had so many people being ambushed to death within a few short days!


    Han Guang��s heart was dripping blood!


    But now, he had already mounted the tiger and found it hard to dismount.


    He was seriously injured. It would be hard to recover for a while. It would be to no avail if he entered too.


    If he let Chile go in, he was afraid that Ye Yuan they all would directly run away.


    After all, Chile��s divine sense was too weak and could not penetrate the fog too much as well.


    Unless Ye Yuan they all showed up around Chile, he could not do anything to Ye Yuan they all either.


    ��Lord Commander, what should we do now?��


    Han Guang��s gaze flickered, and he said, ��All of you go to the other side and block off this fog! Once they come out, kill without amnesty!��


    The subordinate��s expression changed, and he said, ��That way, we are at risk of exposure!��


    Han Guang said in a solemn voice, ��Who cares! Chile alone might not be able to stop them! If even one of them escapes, it will be fatal to us! Commander Luo Chuan will be arriving in three days. After he arrives, it will be the time of death for these guys!��


    In the fog, Yang Qing was as destitute as snow.


    ��These guys are really dumb! Under Saint Exalt Azuresky��s slaughter, they don��t even dare to enter the fog anymore!�� Yang Qing showed off and said.


    No one paid attention to him.


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��They seem to be waiting for someone here! This shows that this Saint Sovereign Heaven army isn��t all of it! We can��t wait anymore. Otherwise, not only will the news not be sent out, we��ll have to die here too!��


    Ye Yuan felt that the blood race probably still had even more True Sovereign Heaven experts that would be arriving one after another.


    No matter how weak Heaven One Continent��s human race was, it was also impossible for it to be conquered by two True Sovereign Heavens.


    Therefore, they must be waiting!


    ��How many days do you still have before you can recover?�� Yang Qing asked.


    ��Three days!��


    ��Three days later, on the coastline, the 4000 over people blood race army were waiting in full battle-array.


    Suddenly, several figures suddenly rushed out and charged right into the army.


    The moment Ye Yuan unleashed his Universe Sword Formation, he immediately slew more than ten Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    The others killed frenziedly under his cover.


    Especially Yang Qing, when a spear rushed out, someone would definitely die!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s grand display of invincible might, Chile��s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, ��How is this possible?! This boy only used half a month to completely recover?��


    However, he did not have time to be surprised. His figure flashed, and he rushed towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan five people��s speed was too fast. They instantly formed an opening!


    The moment Chile��s True Sovereign Heaven pressure emerged, he charged straight for Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan laughed coldly and a Dao sword actually condensed in his hand!


    Chile��s expression changed wildly, retreating ever faster than when he came!


    Because this sword of Ye Yuan��s was already chopping down right at him!


    He knew perfectly well that this sword directly crippled Commander Han Guang!


    However, Ye Yuan suddenly grinned, the Dao sword in his hand directly disappeared without a trace. The terrifying pressure vanished right away.


    ��Scaring you! Goodbye!��


    The five people turned into afterimages, flying straight for the continent.


    On the other side, the void trembled, and one figure after another stepped out of the void.


    Focusing one��s eyes and looking, there were actually more than 5000 people!


    These 5000 people were shockingly all Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    ��And the True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in the forefront actually reached as many as five people!


    ��Commander Luo Chuan!�� Han Guang immediately bowed to one of them.


    Commander Luo Chuan was a grand completion True Sovereign Heaven level super powerhouse!


    This ten thousand strong army was led precisely by him.


    ��When Luo Chuan saw Han Guang, his brows could not help furrowing slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What��s going on?��


    Han Guang hurriedly said, ��Several divergent cultivators suddenly appeared at sea! One of them actually condensed a terrifying Dao sword and damaged my foundation with one sword!��


    Luo Chuan said in a solemn voice, ��Where are they?��


    ��Still in the fog. I��ve already ordered Chile to stop them at the coastline!��


    Luo Chuan said in a solemn voice, ��Useless trash!��

 Chapter 2802 - Inciting Heavenly Punishment, Reporting Information!

    Atlas Studios


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One figure after another dashed out of the fog. Luo Chuan��s eyes turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Where are they?��


    The coastline was starkly empty. Where was there still a hint of any presence?


    Han Guang��s pupils constricted, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Damn it! Those few punks must have broken through the encirclement!��


    ��Trash!��


    Luo Chuan yelled loudly in shock and rage: ��How great a price did our blood race pay for this northern war situation? Even Hegemon Bloodsky acted personally! Now, it failed just a step away from success!��


    Han Guang was in fear and trepidation, immediately kneeling down.


    How could he not know the severity of this matter? But how could he have known that a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven could slash him with one sword move?


    This sort of thing was seriously too surprising!


    ��Ming Xu, you lead the army to station here. This commander will go and chase after those humans. I hope that I can make it in time!�� Luo Chuan instructed and immediately disappeared.


    Ye Yuan five people killed their way out of the heavy encirclement, fleeing while fighting.


    Chile was fearful of Ye Yuan��s Dao sword and did not dare to pursue alone. He could only order the army to chase him down together.


    But, the closer they got to the continent, the greater the risk of being exposed.


    Right now, the blood race��s setup had yet to be completed!


    Once detected by the northern powerhouses, the previous efforts would be wasted.


    Just based on them, these True Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens, it was naturally impossible to take down Heaven One Continent.


    ��Wanting to gain a firm foothold in the north, the more important thing was still the cooperation of Emperor level powerhouses and Hegemon level powerhouses!


    Without them, any random human Emperor level powerhouse that came could eradicate them.


    ��Still chasing? You keep chasing, and I��m really going to kill you!�� From ahead came Ye Yuan��s cold laugh.


    Chile��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��If you have the capabilities, try killing this commander!��


    ��Is that so? Then I��m coming!��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan slashed a sword out backhandedly, heaven and earth changed colors!


    The horrifying to the extreme aura made Chile��s expression change wildly, his figure suddenly descending.


    But this sword did not land.


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said, ��Huhu, still bluffing you!��


    F*ck, it was another feint!


    Chile practically wanted to vomit blood!


    ��Along the way, Ye Yuan used this move to trick him three or four times already.


    Each time he saw that he was going to catch up, Ye Yuan would do it once.


    Yet, he really had no choice.


    Once he got too close, this sword of Ye Yuan��s could really take his life.


    Ye Yuan��s sword heavily wounded Commander Han Guang with a chop. His strength was significantly worse than Han Guang��s. He reckoned that even if he did not die, he would become crippled too.


    In the blood race, trash had no existence value.


    Chile had no choice and could only hang behind Ye Yuan like this, reducing their speed.


    He could only hope that Lord Luo Chuan could rush over as soon as possible and kill this vile spawn.


    This boy was too hateful!


    ��Still chasing? I��m already home!�� Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Sure enough, extremely far away, the outline of a city already slowly appeared in his field of vision.


    During the chase, both parties already flew an extremely far distance.


    Along the way, there were naturally traces of human activities too.


    But Chile split off a portion of the army and immediately started massacring!


    It was for the sake of keeping the secret.


    Ye Yuan was completely clueless about Heaven One Continent. But, the appearance of the blood race made him have some judgment.


    Most likely, Heaven One Continent��s situation was not optimistic!


    ��The blood race appeared behind the continent without a sound. It was likely an extremely important strategic intent.


    He came just at the right time and bumped into it!


    The most important mission now was to let the human powerhouses know.


    Otherwise, not only would he have to die, but Heaven One Continent would also probably fall completely into enemy hands!


    Mi Tian said before that the blood race was a very terrifying race. They would devour their opponent��s blood and grow stronger the more they fought!


    Once they gain a firm foothold, even more powerful blood race powerhouses would appear!


    But right at this time, a shocking aura engulfed everything and swept over from a distance!


    ��The faces of Ye Yuan and the rest changed wildly.


    This aura was far too strong!


    It was an existence that he could not possibly kill even if he brought out the Dao sword!


    Chile naturally sensed it too and said with a big laugh, ��Boy, you probably �� can��t go home anymore! Commander Luo Chuan is a grand completion True Sovereign Heaven. You��re dead for sure!��


    The other party��s speed was too fast!


    ��They did not have time to escape into the city at all and would be caught up to!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Yang Qing, hold him back!��


    Yang Qing��s strength naturally could not compare to Chile.


    However, he was also strong enough. Delaying for a short while was still doable for him.


    However, this way, the five people immediately got caught in the army��s encirclement!


    Ye Yuan completely ignored those blood race members, directly controlling the Dao sword to rise to the sky.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword immediately became a giant sword, shooting straight to the sky!


    ��The Saint Sovereign Heavens that approached Ye Yuan were directly obliterated by the sword energy exuding off of the Dao sword.


    Rumble


    As if sensing Ye Yuan��s Dao sword, dark clouds immediately gathered overhead above the sky, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling.


    Ye Yuan pointed at the sky with the sword once again!


    Furthermore, along with the increase in Ye Yuan��s strength, heaven��s might was several dozen times stronger than in the past!


    The sky within a radius of several tens of thousands of miles was shrouded by this layer of dark cloud.


    At this moment, countless powerhouses were shocked!


    ��What Ye Yuan wanted was this effect!


    Far away, Luo Chuan��s expression changed wildly, knowing that the plan this time had completely failed!


    On top of Northern View City��s walls, several figures looked into the distance across the space.


    Northern View City was the city closest to Ye Yuan.


    Song Miao was this Northern View City��s city lord.


    A subordinate exclaimed, ��City Lord, which senior is this that��s transcending their True Sovereign Dao Tribulation? This power is so terrifying!��


    He had seen before City Lord, His Excellency, transcending True Sovereign Dao Tribulation before. It was merely nothing more than this.


    And City Lord, His Excellency, was an upper True Sovereign Heaven mighty expert!


    But, Song Miao��s brows furrowed together, and he said in a solemn voice, ��This isn��t a True Sovereign Dao Tribulation! This is �� heavenly punishment! The person transcending the tribulation is a divergent cultivator! However �� why would someone be transcending their tribulation in that direction?


    There seems to be something odd about this matter.��


    The subordinate also said with uncertainty, ��Yeah, there are many humans and true spirits over there. It isn��t some good place to transcend tribulation. Why would there be someone who chose to transcend their tribulation here?��


    The place to transcend tribulation, most people would choose a quiet and remote place.


    After all, transcending tribulation was having nine chances to die and one chance to live. If someone interfered, that would be certain death.


    Such a clamorous place was not suitable to transcend tribulation at all.


    Yet, someone was transcending tribulation. Furthermore, they caused an extremely huge commotion.


    ��This sovereign will go over and take a look. You all guard the city and activate the city protecting grand array and wait in full battle-array!�� After he was done talking, Song Miao��s figure swayed, and he headed for the place where the tribulation was being overcome.


    He was a True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. His speed was swift to the extreme.


    But very soon, his expression changed wildly!


    Blood race!


    ��There were actually a large group of blood race powerhouses in the center of the storm!


    The hallmark of the blood race was very obvious. Once they started to fight, blood energy would surge to the sky. It was very easy to identify.


    ��This �� This place is the land of extreme north. Why would there be blood race members here? Could it be that �� they secretly opened up a spatial passageway and plan on invading Heaven One Continent through the sea?��


    Song Miao guessed the general idea very soon. But this conjecture made him break out into a cold sweat due to fright.


    This news was seriously too important!

 Chapter 2803 - The Power of Heavenly Punishment!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:


    Atlas Studios


    ��Immediately send news back to Chaos Origin Sect! The blood race opened up a spatial channel! They are invading from the north!��


    Song Miao��s words reverberated across the sky, immediately transmitting back to Northern View City.


    This sentence immediately caused a huge shock.


    ��What?! The blood race actually appeared in our land of extreme north too?��


    ��How can that be! Opening up a spatial passageway, the blood race actually used this kind of shocking method!��


    ��Is the peace of the north finally going to end?��


    In Northern View City, it was already completely shocking when they found out.


    The blood race was the nightmare of the Heaven One Continent.


    However, the northern lands were far away from the battlefield. It barely managed to be considered as peaceful.


    ��The appearance of the blood race was a tremendous blow to them.


    They knew that the originally peaceful northern lands would tum into a savage battlefield!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    One powerful aura after another came from all directions.


    ��These auras were all True Sovereign Heaven!


    ��Brother Song, is it really the blood race?�� Someone stepped out of the void, looking at Song Miao as he said with a solemn expression.


    Song Miao nodded and said, ��Absolutely true! That Dao friend deliberately called down heavenly punishment in order to deliver the message to us! He��s being pursued by the blood race. Let��s hurry up and save him!��


    Beside Song Miao, one figure after another appeared. Eight True Sovereign Heavens actually appeared all at once!


    ��These True Sovereign Heavens were all powerhouses in the vicinity of Northern View City.


    ��They were originally attracted by Ye Yuan��s heavenly punishment. When Song Miao roared, they immediately knew what was going on.


    Hearing Song Miao��s order, they did not hesitate in the slightest, sweeping towards the center of the storm like lightning.


    On the other side, Luo Chuan also came howling while bringing an astonishing aura.


    Both sides were at an explosive point.


    The Chile who was currently chasing Yang Qing, his expression turned ashen at this time too.


    He also realized that the surprise attack plan had completely failed!


    ��Their army was actually punched through by five Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    ��With Ye Yuan bringing along four people, not only did they kill their way out of the heavy encirclement, they even completely transmitted the news that the blood race came to attack, back to the humans!


    Until now, Chile still felt like he was dreaming.


    He looked at the Ye Yuan, who was akin to facing a great enemy, his eyes seemingly full of killing intent.


    ��Damn it! You, punk, must die under the Dao tribulation!�� Chile gritted his teeth and said.


    He did not dare to go and kill Ye Yuan, the power of this Dao tribulation was too terrifying!


    Seven-nine Dao tribulation!


    The heavenly punishment that Ye Yuan called down was a seven-nine Dao tribulation!


    Seven-nine Dao tribulation, it was a genuine True Sovereign Dao Tribulation!


    Furthermore, this was heavenly punishment, not Dao tribulation!


    ��The power of heavenly punishment was even more terrifying than Dao tribulation!


    One could say that this was the enhanced version of the seven-nine Dao tribulation!


    The current Ye Yuan, he also felt his scalp tingle.


    ��Taking the initiative to call down heavenly punishment, this was completely a death-seeking action. But he had no choice.


    ��That True Sovereign Heaven was at grand completion. Even if he had the means to access the highest heavens, he would surely die without a doubt too!


    Fortunately, he sensed that the powerhouses from the human race there were here!


    ��Damn human brat, to dare ruin my blood race��s shocking plan. I��ll definitely kill you today!��


    The person had yet to arrive, but the voice arrived first.


    Luo Chuan��s angry roar resounded across the horizon!


    The blood race really paid a huge price for the sake of this plan!


    They invested a great deal of power in the south, restraining countless human powerhouses. It was for the sake of dealing a fatal blow in the back.


    But now, it failed on the eve of success!


    And everything was because of this human brat!


    A punk who was only middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Even if you��re transcending tribulation, I��m going to kill you too!


    He was a grand completion True Sovereign Heaven expert, his strength being immensely formidable. He did not fear the seven-nine Dao tribulation at all.


    And right at this time, the human True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses also just happened to arrive!


    ��Many thanks to Fellow Daoist for bringing down heavenly punishment to send the message, saving the human race, saving Heaven One Continent ����


    Song Miao said halfway and found that he could not continue anymore.


    Fellow Daoist?


    He discovered to his horror that the one who brought down the seven-nine Dao tribulation was shockingly just a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Fuck, a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven called down a seven-nine Dao tribulation?


    Also, this densely packed blood race army, there were several thousand people!


    ��There were even True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses among them!


    How did this guy run over?


    Song Miao only felt that his worldview was about to collapse.


    How did this kid do it?


    Although Yang Qing��s strength was very strong, Song Miao saw through at a glance that Ye Yuan was the backbone of these five people!


    It was because he called down the heavenly punishment!


    A middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, brought along four Saint Sovereign Heavens, smashed through the defense of the blood race army, and sent a message to Northern View City!


    If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!


    This was too freaking fake!


    Not just him, the True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses who dared to come were all inexplicably shocked.


    ��They all thought that it was a Fellow Daoist. In the end ��. it was just a junior!


    ��What the hell! The young ones are really to be feared!��


    ��This boy is going to defy the heavens!��


    ��Seven-nine Dao tribulation, can �� can he overcome it?��


    While in shock, the True Sovereign Heavens already clashed together with Luo Chuan.


    The imposing momentum was shocking!


    Luo Chuan fought one-on-seven, and he did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the slightest.


    This Luo Chuan was too strong.


    As soon as Song Miao and the others clashed, they immediately felt tremendous pressure.


    Meanwhile, another person took over Yang Qing and faced off against Chile.


    This True Sovereign Heaven was the weakest, being only lower True Sovereign Heaven.


    ��F*cking hell, it was really too exciting with this guy! It was virtually certain death outcomes along the way! I didn��t expect that Your Father could actually survive! Hahaha �� I, Saint Exalt Azuresky, am indeed someone that heaven favors, and I will definitely dominate Heaven One Continent in the


    future!�� Yang Qing said with a big laugh.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Right at this time, the seven-nine Dao tribulation fell!


    Three thick bolts of lightning fell together.


    Countless cracks immediately appeared on the Dao sword!


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, already suffering serious injuries.


    The Dao tribulation this time was different from usual!


    With three bolts of seven-nine Dao tribulation arriving together, the tribulation��s power was tripled!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was immediately severely damaged.


    He was repairing the Dao sword, but the Dao tribulation did not give him time to repair it at all!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword had not been completely repaired when another three bolts of Dao tribulation fell down.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The cracks grew even more on Ye Yuan��s Dao sword.


    Ye Yuan��s complexion became deathly pale.


    Heavenly punishment was indeed different from Dao tribulation!


    ��Hey, Ye Yuan, you wouldn��t die, right? This Dao tribulation is unusual!�� Yang Qing jinxed.


    ��When Song Miao and the rest who were fighting fiercely with Luo Chuan felt the power of the Dao tribulation, each and every one of them was extremely shocked too.


    Just how monstrous was this kid to actually provoke Heavenly Dao until it wanted to eradicate him this much?


    That Dao sword was so strong!


    ��Hahaha �� Watching you get smote to death by Dao tribulation, this commander is satisfied!�� Luo Chuan let out a loud laugh when he saw this scene.


    He did not take these human True Sovereign Heavens seriously at all.


    However, he knew that he could not stay here for too long.


    ��The human race��s powerhouses were currently gathering toward Northern View City.


    ��Once an Emperor level powerhouse came, he would die without a burial ground.


    But before this, he was still very happy to watch Ye Yuan get smote to death by heavenly punishment.


    This punk ruined the blood race��s grand matter. He deserved to die!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Dao tribulation fell down repeatedly. Ye Yuan was directly slammed until he was sprawled on the ground.


    Finally, it was another three bolts of Dao tribulation.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword collapsed with a loud bang!

 Chapter 2804 - Grim Situation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:Atlas Studios


    ��Dead! Dead! This guy is going to be killed by heavenly punishment for reporting information to us! Sigh!�� Song Miao secretly sighed in his heart.


    Seven-nine Dao tribulation was too terrifying. Furthermore, it was three times the seven-nine Dao tribulation.


    Ye Yuan already could not hold on anymore!


    Luo Chuan laughed loudly and said, ��You absolutely can��t withstand this round of Dao tribulation! Dying under Dao tribulation, you��re getting off cheap, brat! Hahaha ����


    It could be said that he hated Ye Yuan to the bones.


    The implications of this reporting were too big!


    Now, for Ye Yuan to be able to die under Dao tribulation, he was naturally incomparably invigoration.


    While talking, another three bolts of Dao tribulation fell together.


    And Ye Yuan could no longer condense the Dao sword!


    In everyone��s eyes, Ye Yuan was dead for sure this time.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity came straight out of his body.


    Then the bow bent, and the arrow was notched.


    ��Arrow of God Extermination!��


    ��The terrifying spiritual energy undulation swept up an extremely powerful fluctuation along with the Arrow of God Extermination.


    Three Arrow of God Extermination released, directly clashing together with the three bolts of Dao tribulation.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    ��The terrifying undulation directly blew all the surrounding Saint Sovereign Heavens flying.


    ��There were even those who did not have time to run away and were directly obliterated by this impact.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao tribulation was too terrifying. They could not get close at all.


    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity also immediately dimmed a lot.


    Luo Chuan��s expression could not help changing. This kid was actually still not dead!


    ��The origin divinity attack just now was so formidable!


    ��Huhu, your esteemed self has been let down! This young friend��s stubbornness is admirable!�� Song Miao said with a laugh.


    The current Ye Yuan was seriously injured, but his essence, energy, and spirit were getting stronger and stronger.


    This was a divergent cultivator!


    Even when facing Heavenly Dao, one would not cow or submit either!


    It was just that what Ye Yuan did seemed to be even more thorough and purer than others.


    The Dao tribulations came very fast, as if extremely furious at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shot ten rounds of Arrow of God Extermination in a row. His origin divinity already dimmed to the extreme, as if it might dissipate at any time.


    But he did not have the slightest intention of backing down.


    His origin divinity turning dim, Ye Yuan withdrew his origin divinity, and his entire person turned into an azure dragon, rushing straight to the sky!


    All the way until now, his aura had not shrunk back in the slightest.


    Dao sword is gone; I��ll use origin divinity. Origin divinity is weakened; I��ll use my physical body!


    Want to make me, Ye Yuan, back down, there��s no chance!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The azure dragon that Ye Yuan transformed into was directly blasted down.


    But Ye Yuan got up immediately and flew toward the Dao tribulation again.


    He was slammed down over and over again, and he rose into the air again and again.


    All of the powerhouses present were visibly moved.


    Luo Chuan��s expression became more and more solemn.


    He felt Ye Yuan��s unyielding spirit. Even Heavenly Dao was unable to shake it!


    This kind of shocking will was something that he rarely saw in his life!


    He knew that this heavenly punishment could not eradicate Ye Yuan anymore.


    It was also at this time that one powerful aura after another came from all directions again.


    These were the other cities�� powerhouses that rushed to the rescue!


    He couldn��t stay any longer. If he continued staying, he would not be able to leave.


    ��This boy will definitely be my blood race��s formidable enemy in the future! Unfortunately, I couldn��t kill him this time!��


    Luo Chuan let out a long sigh. Suddenly, a bloody light shone brilliantly on his body, and he smashed a punch onto the void.


    Seven True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were immediately sent flying.


    ��Retreat!��


    Under Luo Chuan��s word of command, the Saint Sovereign Heaven army immediately retreated.


    And Ye Yuan was still stubbornly resisting the Dao tribulation!


    ��When Ye Yuan woke up, he found himself lying on a comfortable bed.


    The sunlight seeping in from outside was a little blinding.


    His whole body felt like it had fallen apart, being weak to the extreme.


    Taking the initiative to call down heavenly punishment this time could be said to be having narrowly escaped death.


    Taking the initiative to call down heavenly tribulation was different from Dao tribulation.


    ��When he transcended the Saint Sovereign Dao Tribulation, Ye Yuan already reached the pinnacle in all aspects and could be said to be well-prepared.


    But, taking the initiative to bring down heavenly punishment, Ye Yuan had not reached his peak state within this realm.


    Coupled with the power of the heavenly punishment itself, it was a miracle in itself that Ye Yuan could survive.


    ��You��re awake?�� A gentle voice sounded out.


    Only then did Ye Yuan realize that there was someone in the room.


    This was a middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar, looking very gentle.


    Ye Yuan remembered him. He was precisely the first person who rushed over to save me. It was also City Lord Song Miao.


    ��Senior ���� Ye Yuan struggled to sit up.


    Song Miao bowed to Ye Yuan and said, ��This Song gives thanks to Little Brother��s grace of reporting the news on behalf of Northern View City��s one million martial artists!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, ��You mustn��t!��


    Song Miao got up and said with a smile, ��This bow, Little Brother must accept it! You might not know what this heavenly punishment that you called down means to Heaven One Continent!��


    Ye Yuan actually had an idea in his heart. The blood race was hidden in the fog. They must be plotting something big.


    But, just how big, Ye Yuan was not clear.


    Hearing Song Miao��s meaning, it was likely really very dangerous this time.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Senior is injured?��


    Song Miao gave Ye Yuan a glance rather surprisedly and said with a smile, ��It��s fine.��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��With blood beads entering the body, it will fuse into Senior��s blood and destroy your bodily functions! Normally, you can suppress it. But, once you fight with people, this blood bead can kill you at any time!��


    This time, Song Miao was really shocked.


    This guy actually saw through his own physical condition with one glance!


    Song Miao smiled bitterly and said, ��The blood race��s blood bead is incurable! Compared to the few fellow davists who died, this Song is already very lucky.��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��The news had already been brought out. Could it be that you all still can��t deal with the blood race?��


    Song Miao shook his head and said, ��This half a month, we fought three fierce battles with the blood race, suffering heavy losses. Among the fellow daoists who saved you together on that day, three fell. The other five are all injured.��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched slightly, not expecting that it was actually this result.


    The blood race was actually so powerful!


    He had the strength to crush those in the same rank, but it did not mean that everyone had.


    An unkillable opponent really had no solutions.


    ��The mere five of you were actually able to kill your way out of the blood race army��s encirclement. It��s simply a miracle!�� Song Miao sighed with admiration.


    Back then, when he saw that Ye Yuan was only Saint Sovereign Heaven, he was really stunned.


    With this bit of strength, how did they kill their way out?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, just what��s the situation in Heaven One Continent?��


    Song Miao already knew that Ye Yuan the five of them were just from a wild continent and were not clear about Heaven One Continent��s situation.


    It was also precisely because of this that Ye Yuan��s actions and conduct were even harder to come across.


    ��Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven has three main continents, Heaven One Continent, Thundercry Continent, and Lastingwind Continent. These three main continents occupy a vast area, facing each other across the sea. But now, Thundercry Continent and Lastingwind Continent have all already become


    the blood race��s territory. The various races�� powerhouses of the two continents have all become slaves of the blood race!��


    ��Heaven One Continent is Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s sole remaining mellow fruit. The powerhouses of the other two continents have also retreated to defend Heaven One Continent one after another. In fact, close to one-third of the present Heaven One Continent has already fallen into enemy


    hands too!��


    Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard this.


    He knew that Heaven One Continent��s situation was grim, but he also did not think that it was so severe!

 Chapter 2805 - Bloodline Upgrade!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:


    Atlas Studios


    ��In order to resist the blood race, 32 Hegemon Realm powerhouses joined forces and built the Absolute Heaven Barrier, only then barely managing to resist the blood race.��


    ��But the vicinity of the Absolute Heaven Barrier became a meat grinder. Countless powerhouses have died there. This battle is a thousand years old! In these 1000 years, the Absolute Heaven Barrier was breached many times, but we forcefully fought back again and again. Within a thousand years, seven of


    our Hegemon Realm powerhouses died in battle. The Emperor Realm powerhouses who fell reached three figures! But, we finally managed to fend off!��


    ��But no one could have thought that the blood race actually opened up a spatial passageway and launched a surprise attack from the north. If not for you risking your life to report the information this time, our northern cities would definitely have fallen on all fronts. At that time, Heaven One Continent


    would be completely occupied by the enemy.��


    Song Miao was laden with anxieties, clearly being very worried about the present situation.


    One could tell that the blood race appearing in the rear this time also made him break out in cold sweat from fright. Until now, he still had lingering fear in his heart.


    Ye Yuan also did not think that this end of the sea would actually be in such a situation.


    He heard Mi Tian say before, wherever the blood race went, it was akin to locusts crossing the border, having not a blade of grass surviving.


    They lived by feeding on the blood of all races across all the heavens, growing stronger the more they fought!


    Furthermore, their propagation was also different from other races.


    They were like spore organisms, splitting off directly from the main body, with extremely strong reproductive abilities.


    Furthermore, the stronger the main body, the stronger the bloodkin that split off too.


    They sucked blood continuously, growing stronger continuously, multiplying continuously, and expanding continuously.


    Until later, once they scaled up, the race would become extremely terrifying,


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s current situation was precisely this sort of situation!


    More than 100 thousand years ago, the Hegemon Realm powerhouses across all the heavens joined forces to exterminate the blood race and had once wiped out the blood race.


    But Mi Tian also never expected that after more than 100 thousand years, the blood race actually rose again from the ashes. Furthermore, they even displayed the force of a prairie fire.


    The Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was actually only left with less than a third.


    No idea what kind of situation the other 32 heavens were either.


    Of course, that was too far away for Ye Yuan.


    If Heaven One Continent were to fall, Ye Yuan himself would likely not be able to escape death too.


    ��Senior, is the current situation on the northern front not optimistic?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Song Miao shook his head and said, ��The blood race sent out more than 10 Emperor level powerhouses and a 20 thousand strong Saint Sovereign Heaven army. Although we��re prepared, the other party��s strength is too strong, defending the spatial passageway desperately. We fought three bloody battles


    with them and didn��t gain any advantage either. Instead, we suffered heavy casualtie:


    ��Currently, the spatial passageway hasn��t completely stabilized yet. The blood race��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses are not able to pass through. But, as long as the spatial channel is there, they can continue to send powerhouses over ceaselessly! Once the spatial passageway is stabilized and they send


    Hegemon Realm powerhouses over, we �� probably won��t be able to defend!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s no harm. This Ye still has this bit of confidence.��


    Song Miao frowned and said, ��Little brother, you came from outside. You might not know the terror of the blood race! Even Hegemon Realm powerhouses will find it difficult to resist the corrosion of blood energy too. I know that you have battle spirit level chaos true spirit bloodline, but �� it��s still not


    enough!��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly, a surge of bloodline power flowed out.


    Song Miao��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��Battle soul level! You �� Your bloodline power broke through?��


    During the heavenly punishment, Ye Yuan had displayed the battle spirit level chaos bloodline before. So, Song Miao had an idea in his heart.


    Chaos true spirits were born from chaos. Their bloodline was extremely noble.


    The blood energy of the blood race could corrupt all races across all the heavens but could not corrupt chaos true spirit bloodline.


    Of course, this was limited too.


    Song Miao was injured by a True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse. His battle spirit level bloodline was unable to withstand the corruption of a True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    Chaos true spirit bloodline was divided into five level, battle spirit level, battle soul level, battle god level, earth kun level, and heaven qian level!


    Heaven qian level bloodline powerhouses were virtually all Hegemon Realm!


    It was not up to Song Miao to not be surprised because the advancement of chaos true spirit bloodline was extremely difficult.


    In reality, the vast majority of chaos true spirit bloodline was innate and determined by talent.


    Wanting to take the initiative to improve it was virtually impossible.


    But, after Ye Yuan experienced the heavenly punishment, he actually directly raised his bloodline by a level. It was too inconceivable.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Heavenly punishment is a crisis and also an opportunity. As a divergent cultivator, each Dao tribulation is a life-and-death trial for this Ye. Since I succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, then I naturally have to obtain some benefits.��


    Song Miao smiled bitterly and said, ��While that might be the case, how can the improvement of chaos true spirit bloodline be accomplished so easily? Young Friend Ye is really too surprising, Back then, when I saw the heavenly punishment, I even thought which True Sovereign Heaven Dao friend it was.


    Didn��t expect that it was actually a middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, simply unbelievable.��


    Ye Yuan��s words were right, but there had been plenty of people who had overcome tribulations.


    If it were so easy, then Heaven One Continent would not have fallen so far as to be nearly occupied by the enemy.


    Hence, Ye Yuan started to diagnose Song Miao.


    ��When his divine essence entered the body, Ye Yuan felt an extremely strong corruption force.


    This corruption force virtually wanted to corrupt Ye Yuan��s divine essence completely. It even wanted to invade into his body by following Ye Yuan��s divine essence.


    But very soon, Ye Yuan��s battle soul level bloodline power erupted, immediately suppressing this corruption power..

 Chapter 2806 - Doubt

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan did not deliberately suppress this corruption power, but his noble bloodline allowed no provocation.


    Chaos bloodline was practically the 33 Heavens�� strongest bloodline.


    Not one of!


    Carefully feeling this corrupted bloodline power, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed together.


    Very complicated!


    The corrupt blood mixed together with the ordinary bloodline and already completely fused into one. It could not be purged at all.


    Even if Ye Yuan��s control of divine essence already reached a transcendent level, he could not do it too.


    This kind of fusion was a unified entity. It could not be differentiated at all.


    After Ye Yuan stopped examining, Song Miao smiled and said, ��This Song appreciates Younger Brother Ye��s good intentions. However, this Song has a score in mind about this corrupt blood power. It��s likely unable to be removed.��


    Ye Yuan did not answer and asked, ��Senior, those who got inflicted by the poison of corrupt blood such as yourself shouldn��t be in the minority, right?��


    Song Miao nodded and said, ��The northern land is relatively peaceful, but the vast majority of the people have participated in battles with the blood race before. This blood corruption poison naturally can��t be avoided.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��ll go take a look.��


    Song Miao smiled and did not refuse either, bringing Ye Yuan out.


    Geniuses were all haughty. After Ye Yuan became aware of the overwhelming odds against him, everything could naturally be discussed.


    This blood corruption poison was not merely studied by grade five, grade six heavenly alchemists. Even grade nine heavenly alchemists had researched it before too.


    But it was simply incurable.


    Once the corrupt blood fused into the blood, no method could separate it.


    Unless the inflicted person died, otherwise, there was no way of separating it at all.


    Currently, Northern View City had a Saint Sovereign Heaven army of 2000 stationed here.


    ��When Ye Yuan walked into the army camp, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    The army of 2000 was already left with just 1400 over people. Furthermore, many people were injured.


    Many of these injuries were due to blood corruption poison.


    Ye Yuan ignored him but said to Song Miao, ��Senior, I want to take a look at a few more.��


    Saint Sovereign naturally had no objections, bringing Ye Yuan to take a look at a few more Saint Sovereign Heavens inflicted with blood corruption poison.


    But Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed even harder.


    Zhao Chen was a centurion. With regards to Ye Yuan��s action, he scoffed in derision.


    ��Brat who hungers for fame and reputation, how ignorant! A country bumpkin who came from overseas, do you really think that Alchemy Dao is so easy?�� Zhao Chen said disdainfully to Ye Yuan��s face.


    Ye Yuan still paid no attention to him and said to Song Miao, ��Senior, there��s a big problem with this method to control the blood corruption poison!��


    Song Miao could not help being taken aback when he heard it. It was somewhat exaggerating things to raise an alarm, right?


    This method was not figured out by Dao Chen this disciple but devised by his master, an Emperor level powerhouse.


    You, a measly little middle Saint Sovereign Heaven, you��re at the very best a grade five heavenly alchemist. Yet, you��re actually questioning a grade seven heavenly alchemist?


    However, Ye Yuan had rendered great contributions. Song Miao could not very well refute him either and said, ��Oh? What��s the problem?��


    He did not understand much about Ye Yuan. Actually, his thoughts were pretty much the same as Zhao Chen��s, feeling that Ye Yuan was somewhat talking big to impress people.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said, ��This method of controlling is using the power of true spirit bloodline to suppress the spreading of corrupt blood. But this kind of method has huge hidden danger! The pride of true spirit bloodline is even more so than that of the blood race. Using true spirit bloodline to


    suppress corrupt blood will indeed have a bit of effect within a short time. But, once a great battle starts, it��s very easy for true spirit bloodline to lose control, and it will even cause a backlash to the master! At that time, our combat force will be greatly diminished!��


    Ye Yuan saw through that this so-called treatment method was using chaos true spirit bloodline to suppress the power of corrupt blood.


    This method seemed flawless.


    But, once a genuine great battle erupted, it was very easy for Heaven One Continent this side to crumble!


    It was just that nobody seemed to be able to take this in!


    The moment Song Miao heard, he smiled and said, ��Brother Ye is worrying too much! Suppressing corrupt blood with the blood of true spirit, this is the method that the Extreme Medicine Sect devised and has already been verified at the southern front. There��s absolutely no problem.��


    Zhao Chen was also impatient, completely disregarding Ye Yuan��s face as he said, ��City Lord Song, where did this kid come from? Such high-sounding sentiments! Extreme Medicine Sect is a Hegemon level holy land. Can the things that they figured out be questioned by people? In my view, this boy is


    completely haughty from being conferred favors! He wants to render even greater contributions and obtain even greater glory!��


    ��Huhu, having half-baked knowledge but showing off! Kid, the bloodline suppression method that my Extreme Medicine Sect devised has already been verified at the southern front. There��s absolutely no problem! But now, you��re saying that there��s a problem with our Extreme Medicine Sect��s suppression


    method. Who gave you the courage?�� Just as they were talking, Dao Chen heard about this from god knows where and swaggered in.


    Dao Chen looked toward Ye Yuan, his eyes seemingly full of disdain.


    He knew Ye Yuan and knew that Ye Yuan had rendered great contributions.


    But, in his eyes, Ye Yuan was merely a foreign hillbilly and had never seen the world before.. How could he grasp bloodline suppression, this kind of high-level treatment method?

 Chapter 2807 - Great Battle Begins!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Dao Chen came over, swept a glance over Ye Yuan, and said disdainfully, ��You��re that kid who called down heavenly punishment? Hulu, a trash who was spurned by Heavenly Dao also wants to talk big to impress people? Your meaning is that my Extreme Medicine Sect is setting everyone up? What


    malicious motives!��


    Ye Yuan sized Dao Chen up with a glance and could not help being speechless.


    He did not expect that he would make contact with the Extreme Medicine Sect so quickly!


    He knew that Li Changsheng was a member of the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Of course, to a Hegemon level holy land, a Saint Sovereign Heaven disciple was simply unimportant.


    ��A countryside bumpkin also dares to question a Hegemon level holy land, really ignorant!��


    ��Huhu, this kid really takes himself to be the savior. How laughable!��


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect roams Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven unobstructed. It��s the number one alchemy path sect. This kid really ate the wrong medicine, to actually dare question them.��


    The mocking voices lingered on incessantly. To these people, the Extreme Medicine Sect was the absolute authority and could not be questioned.


    Both parties�� statuses were totally not equal.


    Even Song Miao was also very disapproving of Ye Yuan��s questioning.


    It was true that you, Ye Yuan, rendered great contributions. But, this was not your confidence to question authority.


    ��Senior Song doesn��t believe me too?�� Ye Yuan looked towards Song Miao and said.


    Song Miao smiled and said, ��Young Friend Ye has just arrived. You might not know the Extreme Medicine Sect��s strength. The suppression method that they devised shouldn��t have a problem!��


    Dao Chen laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Heard that, kid? In Heaven One Continent, my Extreme Medicine Sect is the absolute authority in alchemy! Questioning us? Ignorant!��


    ��Bullshit! If Master Ye says that there��s a problem, then there��s definitely a problem! You these people can��t tell good from bad and still speak sarcastically to Master Ye, what a bunch of fools!��


    Before Ye Yuan said anything, he heard Big Yellow��s furious voice come over.


    He heard that Ye Yuan woke up and immediately came over to find him, and just happened to hear these people making digs at Ye Yuan, and immediately could not continue listening anymore.


    In his heart, Ye Yuan was an omnipotent god.


    Especially in the alchemy path, it was even more so.


    Other people might think that Ye Yuan��s martial arts were extremely strong and that his Alchemy Dao was merely thus.


    But Big Yellow knew what Ye Yuan was truly incredible in. It was Alchemy Dao!


    ��That��s right! My Big Brother Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength absolutely crushes your Extreme Medicine Sect!�� Jingfei also said.


    The moment Dao Chen heard, he could not help sneering as he said, ��A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, ignorant!��


    Big Yellow still wanted to say something, but Ye Yuan interrupted him with a hand gesture and said, ��Alright, no need to say anymore. Let��s go.��


    As he said, he brought the two and left.


    Looking at the few people��s back views, Dao Chen was pleased with himself as he said, ��Just this bit of capability and he also dares to step into the limelight and talk big to impress people! Being exposed by me, he ran away in disgrace! City Lord Song, these few punks hunger for fame and reputation, I��m


    afraid that they harbor ulterior motives!��


    Song Miao frowned slightly and did not speak.


    No matter what, Ye Yuan rendering outstanding contributions was an undeniable fact. But regarding Ye Yuan��s ��posturing�� personality, he disliked it.


    ��Dao Chen said.


    ��Huhu, ignore this kind of fools! The powerhouses from all sides have already arrived one after another. They will be able to launch a general offensive on the spatial passageway! This matter is the most important thin;


    To a proud son of heaven like Dao Chen, Ye Yuan, this kind of existence, was simply insignificant.


    At present, the general offensive on the blood race��s spatial passageway was the most important.


    Saint Sovereign nodded and said, ��Younger Brother Dao Chen, rest assured. The northern front has dispatched an army of 50 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens this time. The blood race absolutely won��t gain any advantage!��


    ��Master Ye, these bunch of guys really don��t know what��s good for them! Could it be that you��re letting it go just like that?�� Big Yellow said indignantly.


    He currently had a feeling like his good intentions were fed to a dog.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��To them, we��re outsiders. Heaven One Continent is one of the main continents. The Extreme Medicine Sect is even a Hegemon level holy land. To them, we��re merely ants! If not because of the war with the blood race, we probably can��t enter their sights at all. Even now, the words


    that I said have encroached on the authority of the Extreme Medicine Sect too. It��s naturally not tolerated by them.��


    Ye Yuan��s heart was like a clear mirror. He was aware of what Dao Chen they all were thinking in their hearts.


    He knew that he could not convince these people at all, so he could not be bothered to argue.


    Only by suffering a big loss would they know how severe the consequences were.


    ��Hehe, they are going to have a great battle with the blood race tomorrow. At that time, they will suffer a loss!�� Jingfei said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��There��s going to be a great battle tomorrow?��


    Big Yellow nodded and said, ��Heaven One Continent this side has already accumulated an army of 50 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens. They will be attacking the spatial passageway tomorrow.��


    Ye Yuan had just woken up and did not expect that there was going to be a big battle tomorrow.


    He said in a solemn voice, ��From a certain degree, this battle is even more tragic than the southern front. Tomorrow��s great battle will probably be extremely fierce. The Extreme Medicine Sect��s method is indeed able to suppress the blood race��s blood energy from corrupting. But this method can only


    treat the symptoms and can��t treat the root cause. Under such circumstances, it��s very easy for the Extreme Medicine Sect��s method to cause a large-scale collapse!��


    ��When putting it like this, the few people��s expressions became ugly too.


    They wanted to see Dao Chen and the other get deflated, but if the blood race gained a firm foothold at the northern front, then the consequences would be too severe.


    ��But they didn��t take Master Ye��s suggestion in at all. What can we do?�� Big Yellow said unhappily.


    After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan said, ��There��s only one night. I hope that I can make it in time!��


    The next day, 50 thousand troops were gathered on the coastline, majestic and mighty.


    The commander-in-chief of the army was a half-step Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouse, You Ming.


    The war with the blood race was divided into three levels.


    The first level was the showdown of Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    Regarding this level of powerhouses, the moment they took action, the sky would rent asunder, and the earth would split apart.


    The second level was the showdown of Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    This level of showdown similarly caused a huge commotion.


    However, the battles of these two levels were few in numbers but large in scale. The casualties were not high instead.


    But, the third level, the battles below Emperor Realm, was the most tragic.


    Soldiers against soldiers; generals against generals.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven and True Sovereign Heaven this level of battle, they would often kill down to the last soldier.


    And this battle for the spatial passageway was clearly a fight to the death; neither could back down.


    ��Brothers, this battle concems the life and death of all races on Heaven One Continent! Once the spatial channel stabilizes, it will be our doomsday! Therefore, only victor is allowed for this battle. Defeat is not allowed! Are you all ready?�� You Ming said in a loud voice.


    ��To live and die together with Heaven One Continent!��


    ��To live and die together with Heaven One Continent!��


    ��To live and die together with Heaven One Continent!��


    The battle cries shook the heaven!


    ��Set off!��


    Under You Ming��s word of comman4, the 50 thousand strong army set off!


    Above the sea, a black hole-like spatial passageway was currently giving off light.


    The army of 20 thousand bloodkins was waiting in full battle-array before the spatial passageway.


    This was a frontal confrontation without the slightest strategy.


    The two armies clashed head-on together just like that!


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    ��Kill!��


    The two armies met in close quarters!

 Chapter 2808 - Reversal!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Logically speaking, Heaven One army��s numbers were 2.5 times that of the blood race. They should hold an absolute advantage.


    But the actual battlefield situation was not like that at all!


    The blood race army was completely overpowering the humans.


    The blood race was undying and imperishable. They did not need to defend at all.


    Their fights were simply a crushing-style battle.


    The same attacks, Heaven One powerhouses would die immediately, but the bloodkins could revive.


    Therefore, the blood race��s army of 20 thousand could completely be treated as 50 thousand troops, or even more!


    The blood race��s Emperor level powerhouses guarded the surroundings of the spatial passageway tightly, unfolding an incomparably tragic fight with the Heaven One powerhouses.


    In this battle, either you die, or I perish!


    ��Hahaha �� You lowly humans can��t even withstand a single blow!��


    Luo Chuan directly tore a human powerhouse apart, sucking the other party��s blood greedily.


    In such a battle, the blood race could recover their strength through feeding on the other party��s blood.


    Therefore, in battles between both sides, Heaven One��s side would often use several times the power to deal with the other party. But the result was still not optimistic.


    ��Blood dog, die!��


    Dao Chen shouted fiercely, directly obliterating a bloodkin!


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples had extremely strong combat strength. Regardless of whether it was martial technique or cultivation method, it far surpassed powerhouses of the same rank.


    Dao Chen��s combat strength was naturally extremely strong. It was strong until he could obliterate the blood race.


    Song Miao��s opponent was an upper True Sovereign Heaven bloodkin.


    The two people went back and forth, fighting fiercely without rest, unable to determine the victor.


    Song Miao received the Extreme Medicine Sect��s treatment too, suppressing the blood corruption with the blood of true spirit. Therefore, his combat power when exerted at this time, virtually reached the peak.


    In the army, there were no less than 5000 powerhouses who received the same treatment as him.


    They had received the Extreme Medicine Sect��s treatment. Their conditions had long already recovered to the peak.


    Therefore, they did not take Ye Yuan��s words in at all.


    ��Zhong Yue, we fought three times. This time, I��ll definitely avenge the enmity and kill you!�� Song Miao said with a cold smile.


    In the battle previously, Song Miao��s opponent was Zhong Yue.


    However, he was struck by Zhong Yue��s palm and corrupted by Zhong Yue��s blood energy, growing weaker with each battle.


    Now, his strength recovered to the peak. It was time to win back face!


    With regards to Song Miao regaining his peak strength, Zhong Yue was very surprised too.


    The blood race did not expect that Heaven One Continent��s powerhouses actually resolved the blood corruption power.


    If that was the case, then the blood race��s advantage would be greatly diminished.


    ��Just the likes of you? You��re not qualified enough yet! If I can hurt you once, I can hurt you a second time!��


    Zhong Yue was unrestrained and did not defend at all.


    Even if Song Miao regained his peak strength, he found it hard to take him down for a while too.


    The two people��s strengths were similar, and the battle was extremely fierce too. Both parties�� strengths were unleashed to the extreme.


    Suddenly, Song Miao��s expression changed, his entire person��s aura suddenly became extremely unstable.


    Zhong Yue naturally would not let this chance go and immediately rushed over in hot pursuit, not giving Song Miao any chance to catch his breath.


    Bang!


    Zhong Yue pressed a palm on Song Miao��s chest, sending him flying out.


    Song Miao��s complexion turned deathly pale. The blood in his body was boiling.


    He suddenly discovered that the true spirit blood that was injected into the body had completely gone berserk.


    His divine essence could not control it at all.


    ��When Zhong Yue saw the situation, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, ��Hahaha �� You really scared me badly just now. I even thought that you all really resolved the blood corruption poison! I didn��t expect that you��re simply a paper tiger! Song Miao, prepare to die!��


    ��Damn it! It turns out that what Ye Yuan said was right! Extreme Medicine Sect��s suppression method really has a huge hidden danger! Normally, it can��t be detected at all. But, once your strength erupts to the extreme, the balance within the body will be completely broken, and the true spirit bloodline


    and blood corruption power will erupt at the same time! Now, it��s really a fate worse than death!��


    Song Miao was bitterly remorseful in his heart.


    It was because he discovered that what Ye Yuan said was completely right.


    They had blind faith in the Extreme Medicine Sect and did not have any suspicions at all.


    As for what Ye Yuan said, they thought it was naturally for the sake of talking big to impress people, in order to win more attention.


    This type of people, he, Song Miao, simply looked down on them.


    Swoosh!


    Song Miao retreated while fighting, not daring to confront Zhong Yue head-on at all.


    And in the army, the blood problem of thousands of powerhouses virtually erupted at the same time.


    ��ARGH! I��m not resigned to this!��


    ��Injecting true spirit bloodline, this is quenching thirst with poison! I died so wronged!��


    ��So what that Ye Yuan said was true!��


    Many Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were killed by the blood race while holding strong unwillingness.


    At this moment, they felt incomparably bitterly remorseful.


    Although the blood corruption power was strong, they were not without the power to fight.


    But, in this current situation, it was directly equivalent to sentencing them to death. They could hardly even fight anymore.


    In the army, 5000 people were suddenly defeated. It was really being routed like a landslide.


    ��The 50 thousand strong army actually directly collapsed in an instant.


    ��When the blood race powerhouses saw this situation, each and every one of them was excited to the extreme, killing until the human army steadily lost ground.


    ��How can this be? How can this happen? The experiments previously clearly didn��t have any problems!��


    Dao Chen panicked


    How could he still not know that the problem lay with injecting true spirit bloodline?


    But the experiments previously were clearly had no problems already. Why would such a major problem suddenly break out?


    He could not figure it out after racking his brains!


    ��T-Tums out that what that guy said was actually right!�� At this moment, he finally understood that what Ye Yuan said was true.


    But it was already too late.


    A rout was like a landslide!


    The present Heaven One army had already directly collapsed. Countless powerhouses were killed by the blood race, blood flowing to form rivers!


    At this time, five figures stepped out of the void.


    The five people each carried a set of bow and arrows on their backs.


    ��When Ye Yuan saw the scene in front of him, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    Sure enough, what he was most worried about still happened!


    ��Lucky! Luckily it��s still not too late! Each of you, find a good angle! Don��t enter the battlefield. Shoot them with arrows!�� Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said.


    ��Hehe, Big Brother Ye Yuan��s secret weapon, I really want to see just how formidable it is!�� Jingfei said with a laugh.


    The four people did not talk nonsense either, finding their positions at the borders of the battlefield and started bending their bows and notching their arrows.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    One sharp arrow after another cut through the air with a strong whistling sound.


    Pfft!


    Ablood race Saint Sovereign Heaven immediately gave a miserable scream when he got hit by an arrow and his entire person��s movements actually stiffened up immediately.


    ��Then he was immediately annihilated by a Heaven One powerhouse!


    ��That Heaven One powerhouses�� expression changed wildly. It was because this bloodkin actually did not revive!


    He did not have time to think too much, immediately joining the other people��s battles.


    This scene was still happening in every corner of the battlefield.


    One sharp arrow after another shot out. Blood race powerhouses fell down one by one!


    In the wake of the sudden appearance of Ye Yuan five people, the originally defeated Heaven One army actually re-established superiority!


    Allat once, the human army counterattacked the other party, killing until the blood race��s army was utterly routed.


    Ina short dozen over breaths of time, Ye Yuan five people directly shot hundreds of blood race powerhouses to death.


    This was true death!


    Those blood race powerhouses actually did not revive!

 Chapter 2809 - Apology!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Eh? It��s actually Ye Yuan they all! What powerful arrows, to actually be able to inhibit the blood race��s revival!��


    ��How did he do it? The significance of this is too far-reaching. It might affect the entire war!��


    ��Previously, everyone all said that he was talking big to impress people. Sigh, we really had eyes but couldn��t see! Turns out that what he said was all true!��


    ��When Heaven One army saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely excited.


    It was naturally impossible for ordinary arrows to accomplish it.


    They guessed that this might very likely be because Ye Yuan dipped something on the arrows.


    This truly held extraordinary significance!


    Once this kind of method could be used on a large-scale, it could absolutely reverse the war between Heaven One Continent and the blood race.


    Meanwhile, the powerhouses on the blood race side were all incomparably alarmed and terrified.


    ��A few people dying was irrelevant to the blood race.


    But this kind of major killing tool was simply lethal to them. The ability that they relied on to roam the heavens unobstructed was actually being restrained.


    If this kind of weapon appeared on the battlefield, the degree of impact could be imagined.


    ��When Luo Chuan, who was in a fierce battle presently, saw Ye Yuan, his pupils could not help constricting.


    Previously, Ye Yuan breaking through the defensive life and sending news back to the Heaven One Continent already gave him a huge shock.


    But that shock was far from comparable to the scene before his eyes.


    ��Zhong Yue, Zhu Hai, Chen Si, the three of you go and kill boy! Absolutely can��t allow him to live!�� Luo Chuan said in a solemn voice.


    Zhong Yue gave a cold cry, immediately leaving behind the Song Miao who was opposite of him, and charged toward Ye Yuan.


    Three great True Sovereign Heavens pounced toward Ye Yuan at the same time!


    The corrupted blood within Song Miao��s body was currently boiling. He was already on the verge of death to begin with.


    Zhong Yue actually abandoned him at the crucial moment and gave him a lease of life.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Song Miao directly withdrew from the battlefield.


    ��Retreat!��


    Ye Yuan turned around and ran without another word.


    Facing three great upper True Sovereign Heavens, he stood no chance at all.


    His goal had already been achieved. There was no need to continue staying anymore.


    Ye Yuan��s sudden appearance gave the blood race a huge shock. The human race side also won a fleeting opportunity to catch their breath.


    However, it was nothing more than that.


    It was impossible to turn things around.


    Therefore, they had to retreat now.


    The battle to destroy the spatial passageway this time, the Heaven One army had clearly already lost, lost due to the eruption of corrupt blood.


    Ye Yuan warned them previously, but nobody took it seriously and only treated it as Ye Yuan talking big to impress people.


    In the end, they burned themselves.


    The thing that Ye Yuan smeared on the arrowheads was the blood essence of blood race powerhouses. It was refined with 81 kinds of precious grade five heavenly medicines, and named Blood Suppression Mourning Sun.


    The hardest thing to come by in this Blood Suppression Mourning Sun was not these 81 types of grade five heavenly medicines, but it was the blood essence of blood race powerhouses.


    It was common knowledge that as long as the blood race had one drop of blood essence surviving, it could be reborn from a drop of blood.


    This ability could be said to be extremely heaven-defying.


    Normally, wanting to obtain the blood essence of bloodkin was simply impossible.


    Because if you wanted to kill them, you had to completely wipe them out.


    However, Ye Yuan ambushed hundreds of bloodkin in the fog. Back then, he held a trick in reserve.


    ��When he eliminated the bloodkin, he attempted to use his Dao sword to suppress.


    In the end, he discovered that the blood race��s blood essence indeed could not revive anymore!


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword had been tempered by Heavenly Dao, it could suppress all things.


    The blood race��s blood essence was actually unable to revive under the suppression of the Dao sword.


    But even so, Ye Yuan only obtained extremely little blood essence.


    It was also by relying on the advantage in timing, geographical, and human conditions back then. Otherwise, even if it was Ye Yuan, it would be difficult to collect these blood essences too.


    These blood essence could only be used in medicine after a hundred times of Ye Yuan��s refinement.


    Ye Yuan made haste without resting and only created several hundred arrows.


    Ye Yuan arrived quickly and left even faster!


    Not waiting for the three great True Sovereign Heavens to carry out an encirclement, he already made his get-away.


    This great battle actually ended just like that in the end.


    Of course, the Heaven One army suffered massive losses.


    The army of 50 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens actually had more than 10 thousand casualties. Another large batch of powerhouses was inflicted by corrupt blood energy.


    And this was still under the situation where Ye Yuan arrived in time to suppress the blood race.


    If not for Ye Yuan, this battle��s losses would be even greater, and they could even have been completely wiped out.


    The consequences of the corrupt blood energy erupting was seriously too severe.


    Outside of Northern View City, Song Miao stood in the air, his complexion deathly pale.


    At this time, the corrupt blood energy had already spread across half the blood in his body, and it was incomparably agonizing.


    However, he did not cry out in pain at all. He just kept looking at the horizon.


    Suddenly, a figure cut across the horizon and came towards this side.


    Song Mia��s face revealed a look of great joy.


    Ye Yuan returned safely!


    Seeing Song Miao, Ye Yuan was a little surprised.


    At this time, he should be nursing his injuries in the city.


    ��Senior Song, why are you here?��


    Song Miao looked at Ye Yuan. Suddenly, he lowered his body and knelt down, saying, ��Song Miao had eyes but couldn��t see! Song Miao blamed Brother Ye wrongly and also caused this great battle��s defeat! This Song apologizes to you in front of everybody today!��


    Him kneeling caused a great sensation in the entire city.


    An exalted upper True Sovereign Heaven, Northern View City��s city lord, actually knelt down and apologized to a junior!


    The powerhouses in the city had been guessing all along on what City Lord Song Miao would be doing.


    They did not expect that he was actually specifically waiting for Ye Yuan to return, to kneel down and apologize to him!


    While those people who ridiculed Ye Yuan before, all lowered their heads in shame at this time.


    Song Miao really did not have scornful words or jeers back then.


    Rather, it was them who made extremely nasty remarks.


    As for Dao Chen, he wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into now.


    He used his authority from being from the Extreme Medicine Sect to suppress Ye Yuan��s opinion, and he even mocked him to the best of his ability.


    As a result, it caused this miserable defeat!


    Ye Yuan was also stunned by Song Miao��s action.


    Song Miao doing this sort of action, it could be seen how regretful and how ashamed he was in his heart at this time.


    This person had a great breadth of mind.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped Song Miao up and said, ��Why is Senior Song going so far? You��re this Ye��s savior. This is killing Ye!��


    Song Miao said ashamedly, ��If back then this Song gave Brother Ye a chance to prove yourself, maybe I wouldn��t have made such a huge mistake!��


    He knew that when Ye Yuan was seeking his opinion back then, it was actually hoping for him to come forward and speak up.


    He ignored that look which asked for help.


    Ye Yuan was merely a foreigner. His words carried little weight.


    Facing the Extreme Medicine Sect, this kind of colossal titan, nobody would believe his words at all.


    Therefore, all explanations were futile.


    Hence, Ye Yuan chose silence.


    However, he did not bear any hatred. Instead, he refined those powerful arrows that very same night and reversed the war situation.


    Otherwise, the consequences would be too dreadful to imagine.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Senior Song, now isn��t the time to say this. Your corrupt blood energy has already erupted all-round. It will be too late if we don��t treat it in time.��


    Song Miao said, ��This Song��s wretched life isn��t worth mentioning! If I die, so be it! But, if I don��t apologize to you, even if this Song dies, I��ll find it hard to close my eyes!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Does Senior Song trust me?��


    Song Miao looked at Ye Yuan and nodded his head seriously.


    Ye Yuan said, ��This blood race��s corrupt blood might not be without a genuine method of cure!��

    ��When Song Miao heard that, his entire body shook!


    He already harbored the will to die and no longer held any fantasies at all.


    He just wanted to repent to Ye Yuan for the mistake that he had committed before he died.


    But now, Ye Yuan told him that he did not need to die anymore!


    ��I-Is this true?��


    Song Miao was agitated until his entire body was trembling. It was for him and also for everyone who was inflicted with corrupt blood!


    The blood race��s corrupt blood was extremely powerful. A moment of carelessness in battle and one would fall victim to it.


    comment


    Especially in this kind of great decisive battle, it was even easier to succumb.


    The majority of the powerhouses from all races did not die on the battlefield but died under the corrupt blood.


    If Ye Yuan was really able to treat corrupt blood, that would really be the greatest good!


    This significance did not pale in the slightest to inventing the method to inhibit the blood race��s revival!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I already have some leads, but I still need some time. However, before this, I can help you suppress the spread of corrupt blood power.��


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long already begun his research into the blood race in the fog.


    ��This powerful race made him burn with eagerness.


    Ye Yuan discovered that the blood race��s blood was indeed incredibly powerful and was a one-of-a-kind thing.


    Especially the blood essence of the blood race, not only could they revive from a drop of blood, but it was also an excellent material for refining heavenly pills!


    It was just that the blood essence of the blood race was too difficult to obtain.


    He originally planned on diving into research, who knew that this incident occurred, completely depleting the blood essence that he had gathered painstakingly.


    However, Ye Yuan already had some understanding of some characteristics of the blood race��s blood.


    Corrupt blood power was merely one of them.


    Song Miao said spiritedly, ��If Younger Brother Ye can really resolve the corrupt blood, then you would really be the number one hero in the world!��


    If it was before, he naturally would not take Ye Yuan��s words seriously.


    But now, he believed it without a shadow of a doubt!


    Ye Yuan exposed the huge flaw in the Extreme Medicine Sect��s treatment method with a word previously.


    Furthermore, this had already been verified by facts!


    Suddenly, the void trembled, and a figure emerged.


    Song Miao��s expression changed, and he gave a bow and said, ��Lord Ming Yi!��


    ��The arrival was a half-step Emperor Realm super powerhouse and also the Heaven One army��s highest commander!


    Ming Yi nodded slightly and said, ��Emperor Dan Fei wants to meet this little brother.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s confusion, Song Miao said, ��Emperor Dan Fei is presently the northern front��s strongest person, an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm mighty expert! He probably wants to meet you because of those arrows!��


    Emperor Realm��s three heavens, Emperor Cloud Heaven, Emperor Vast Heaven, Emperor Sakra Heaven��!


    Different from Sovereign Realm powerhouses, Emperor Realm powerhouses were powerhouses who truly transcended worldliness, their strength being unimaginable.


    In the battle previously, one should not look at how the Saint Sovereign Heavens and True Sovereign Heavens from both sides were fighting with a huge commotion.


    The real fights happened between Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected it and said with a nod, ��Come on then.��


    Ming Yi flicked his sleeves grandly, and Ye Yuan had no comman��d over himself, disappearing from where he originally was.


    Ye Yuan was shocked inwardly. Was this the strength of Emperor Realm?


    ��This Ming Yi was not Emperor Realm yet, but his control over space was already strong to the degree that it made people��s hair stand on end!


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, and he arrived in a garden.


    ��An old man in coarse cloth was currently watering flowers.


    ��Lord Emperor, Ye Yuan is here!�� Ming Yi said respectfully.


    In front of this person, Ming Yi, this half-step Emperor Realm powerhouse, was humble to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan sized this old man up and discovered that he actually could not see him vividly.


    He was clearly standing right there, but it was like he had fused into one with the surrounding garden.


    It was as if where he was standing was a world on its own!


    Emperor Dan Fei looked at Ye Yuan and said with a nod, ��Sharp edge revealing itself, sword intent soaring to the sky, a peerless good sword! No wonder it isn��t tolerated by Heavenly Dao! Young Friend, I hope that you can achieve Hegemon one day!��


    Ye Yuan could feel that the other party��s gaze seemed to penetrate his physical body, looking at the Dao sword in the depths of his body!


    He did not have the slightest secrets in front of this old man.


    Of course, apart from Mi Tian!


    This guy was once a Hegemon Realm overlord.


    Wanting to pry into him, Emperor Realm was not enough!


    By the side, Ming Yi��s pupils constricted too.


    He had never seen before Lord Emperor have such a high appraisal of a junior!


    Hegemon!


    This was the 33 Heavens�� paramount strength, the overlords above Emperor Realm!


    ��Wanting to reach this realm was virtually impossible.


    Just talking about Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, it was boundlessly vast, the cultivators unable to be counted.


    But attaining Hegemon this sort of words, there was really no one who dared to say it.


    Even Emperor Dan Fei, this kind of terrifying existence, did not dare to have the slightest excessive expectation for Hegemon Realm too.


    But he gave Ye Yuan this kind of appraisal!


    Ye Yuan gave a bow and said, ��Lord Emperor is too kind; Hegemon Realm is too far away, Ye Yuan had better be down-to-earth.��


    Dan Fei smiled and said, ��A tough will, firm Dao heart, a good sapling! You should know why this old man is looking for you, right?��


    cYe Yuan nodded and said, ��It��s for those arrows. However �� ��m afraid that I��ll have to disappoint Lord Emperor. This kind of method cant be used on a large scale. I can only suppress a few hundred drops when suppressing the blood race��s blood essence with Dao sword. Furthermore, the conditions to obtain


    the blood race��s blood essence is too harsh. It can only be left up to fate.��


    Dan Fei was not too surprised. He just let out a long sigh and said, ��As expected! The reason why the blood race is difficult to deal with is precisely because it��s hard to obtain their blood essence! The Extreme Medicine Sect has attempted many times and couldn��t do it either. Either eradicate or let them revive.


    Your Dao sword is actually able to suppress the blood race��s blood essence and make them unable to revive, indeed formidable!��


    It was not that Heaven One powerhouses did not think of studying methods to target the blood race before.


    But, to research, one must obtain the blood race��s blood essence.


    Yet, this was the hardest part.


    Killing a bloodkin was easy.


    But wanting to obtain blood race blood essence was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    It was just that Dan Fei did not expect that something that nobody had ever done before, Ye Yuan actually did it.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword had experienced the tempering of Dao tribulation and absorbed large quantities of Heavenly Dao��s power.


    One could say that his Dao sword held heaven��s might!


    No matter how strong the blood race��s blood essence was, it also found it hard to take a single step under heaven��s might.


    Divergent cultivators indeed had very formidable strength, but there was no one like Ye Yuan at all, using their lifeblood Dao sword to meet the Dao tribulations each time!


    This kind of thing was no different from seeking death.


    They did not have the attributes of heaven��s might, so they were naturally unable to suppress the blood race��s blood essence too.


    Ming Yi, who was by the side, was also shocked when he heard it.


    This boy was extraordinary!


    This kind of ability was what even Hegemon Realm powerhouses did not have!


    Of course, it was far too difficult to want to kill the blood race��s Hegemon Realms.


    Originally, he still had a high and mighty attitude towards Ye Yuan. But now, it was completely gone.


    How could a character that even Emperor Dan Fei had praised repeatedly be of the common sort?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��During this period of time, I��ve been constantly studying the blood race��s blood essence. This is indeed a rarely seen treasure of the world! Even those natural treasures are greatly inferior. Originally, I planned on devoting myself to studying it. I didn��t expect that I��d completely


    exhausted all the blood race blood essence that I��ve accumulated before.��

 Chapter 2811 - Xuanji Nine Leaves

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Brother Ye, you��re back!��


    ��Brother Ye, this battle was all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn��t have been able to come back!


    ��It was all us who were blind previously. Be magnanimous and don��t take offense at us!��


    ��When Ye Yuan appeared in the Northern View City��s army base, there was immediately a commotion.


    ��When those Saint Sovereign Heaven soldiers saw Ye Yuan, they came up to say hello one after another.


    comment


    Among them, there were many people who were mocking Ye Yuan on that day. At this time, they were regretting it immensely.


    This time, if not for Ye Yuan, most likely only a handful of them would have been able to return.


    In fact, Northern View City might have directly been steamrolled by the blood race.


    A rout was like a landslide. It was not to be made a joke.


    Ye Yuan did not put on airs either, responding with smiles one by one.


    ��When these Saint Sovereign Heavens saw this, they were even more ashamed.


    Ye Yuan really had a mind as open as a valley!


    ��B-Brother Ye .. Zhao Chen saw Ye Yuan, the look of embarrassment on his face becoming even stronger.


    Before the great battle, his words were the nastiest.


    But now, his face was slapped resoundingly.


    ��When he saw Ye Yuan, there was naturally indescribable embarrassment.


    ��Yoo, isn��t this Centurion Zhao? Our Master Ye is merely a foreigner. How can we dare call you our brother?�� When Big Yellow saw Zhao Chen, his anger flared up, and he immediately jeered.


    Zhao Chen��s expression immediately became black as the bottom of a pot.


    With regards to this, Ye Yuan did not say anything either.


    Back then, Zhao Chen��s words were indeed very nasty. His contempt for him was not only expressed in words, but also on the face.


    Zhao Chen clearly looked down on Ye Yuan, this kind of foreigners, especially when Ye Yuan got involved with the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    That sort of contempt was impossible to hide.


    In reality, those who had this kind of notion were not in the minority.


    It was also that it was currently wartime. Normally, the status of Ye Yuan, this kind of foreigner, would be very low in Heaven One Continent.


    Just like in the Rainclear Continent, the native forces discriminated against ascenders.


    Ye Yuan did not know to make trouble, but it did not mean that he was submissive.


    suddenly, Zhao Chen directly knelt in front of Ye Yuan with a thud and said, ��Master Ye, it was all my fault previously! I know that you have great abilities. You must have the means to save my men! They��re inflicted with the blood corruption poison. I beg you to save them!��


    Ineach great battle, those who got inflicted with blood corruption poison were not in the minority.


    Even Song Miao, this True Sovereign Heaven, was poisoned by the blood corruption poison; let alone these Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    Zhao Chen��s men originally had many who were inflicted with blood corruption poison.


    In this battle, the blood corruption poison erupted all-round. His men suffered heavy casualties.


    Over 70% of these remaining people were inflicted with blood corruption poison.


    If these people all died, he would practically become a lone general without an army.


    Of course, although Zhao Chen this person was very mean to Ye Yuan and looked down on Ye Yuan��s background, he treated his men as his own brothers.


    For the sake of these subordinates, he would rather put aside his dignity and kneel down to Ye Yuan.


    Even Song Miao, this True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, knelt down; what was wrong with him, this measly little centurion, kneeling?


    But Big Yellow did not buy it and said with a cold smile, ��Yoo, Lord Zhao, don��t do this! Master Ye is merely someone with half-baked knowledge. The Extreme Medicine Sect is the authority. Did you find the wrong person? You should be going to find the Extreme Medicine Sect!��


    By the side, Dao Chen wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    He was sent over to learn from Ye Yuan. Along with him, there were also dozens of grade five and grade six heavenly alchemists.


    Close to 100 military doctors were deployed to Heaven One army.


    These military doctors were mainly from the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    In fact, Dao Chen was a distinguished talent among them.


    Before this, he was a highly respected Extreme Medicine Sect disciple.


    But, after this battle, his status completely changed.


    The current Dao Chen was like a big villain who had harmed nearly ten thousand troops.


    It was them who did not listen to Ye Yuan��s words, resulting in this great defeat.


    If not for the Extreme Medicine Sect pledging in all solemnity, even if those soldiers who were inflicted with blood corruption poison did not take part in the fights, this war would not have been defeated so thoroughly too.


    In this battle, those soldiers who were inflicted with blood corruption poison were like time bombs lying in ambush on their side, blowing up and injuring all of them at once.


    ��When Zhao Chen heard, he clenched his jaws tightly and suddenly kowtowed to Ye Yuan fiercely.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Each sound struck everyone��s heart.


    ��Master Ye, this Zhao acted like a stuck-up snob, but my brothers are all good men! As long as you can save them, this Zhao is willing to pay it off with death!�� Zhao Chen wept tearfully as he kowtowed.


    All around, many people shed silent tears.


    In this battle, many of their companions died on the battlefield.


    The former fellow officers were no more together.


    But no one dared to step forward to speak up for Zhao Chen. It was because they were indeed too unfair to Ye Yuan previously.


    Someone who made great contributions came to their army and said something that could tum the tides. But in the end, he was looked down upon by everyone.


    If it were them, they would not be able to stand it too.


    Goodwill being taken for granted was probably like this!


    Everyone��s gazes looked toward Ye Yuan.


    suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his hand and patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder twice and said, ��Alright, take me to go take a look at your subordinates.��


    Zhao Chen��s entire body shook, and he kowtowed a few more times agitatedly and said, ��Thank you so much, Master Ye! Thank you so much, Master Ye!��


    ��When Ye Yuan saw Zhao Chen��s men, he could not refrain from furrowing his brows too.


    Too awful!


    Some people��s blood corruption poison was extremely deep, their entire person being already riddled full of holes, looking extremely hideous.


    A foul smell greeted the nose.


    Weak groaning sounds filled the tent.


    Blood corruption poison was extremely terrifying. Even the final outcome of Song Miao, this True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, was no better than these Saint Sovereign Heaven soldiers.


    Not only could this corrupt blood affect one��s blood, but it could also even corrode the origin divinity, and there was virtually no cure.


    The only thing that could resist it was just true spirit bloodline!


    Therefore, after the Extreme Medicine Sect��s suppression method was devised, it was a great boon to the Heaven One army.


    As for the words of Ye Yuan, this kind of minor character, they naturally could not take it in.


    It was not that Ye Yuan was even more impressive than the Extreme Medicine Sect, this Hegemon level holy land.


    But that even a clever wife could not cook a meal without rice. They had fought with the blood race for thousands of years but never obtained a drop of the blood race��s blood essence before.


    Ye Yuan came beside the soldier who was poisoned the deepest and started diagnosing him.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity traveled a circulatory cycle within his body, and he could not help secretly shaking his head.


    ��M-Master Ye, is there still hope for �� Qiao Yiping?* Zhao Chen asked worriedly.


    ��All the blood in his body has already been corrupted by more than 90%. In at most a few hours, he will definitely die beyond a doubt,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Zhao Chen��s expression dimmed, blaming himself heavily in his heart.


    This scene was taken into Ye Yuan��s sights, and his impression of Zhao Chen changed a little.


    This guy looked down on him, this kind of foreigners. But his feelings for his fellow officers were not fake.


    Ye Yuan ignored him but said to Dao Chen and the rest, ��You all watch carefully. This needle technique that I��ll be performing next is called Xuanji Nine Leaves. After you guys leam it, apply the technique on the others. But at present, this needle technique can only temporarily suppress the blood corruption


    poison. As for whether or not it can really purge the blood corruption poison, I still need to research more..��

 Chapter 2812 - Marvelous Work of Art!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Xuanji Nine Leaves originated from the Labyrinth Divine Palace. It was a powerful and profound needle technique.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace back then was not only powerful in martial strength, but their Alchemy Dao was also unparalleled!


    Disregarding other things, just this Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook was not what ordinary Hegemon level sects could come up with.


    The various acupuncture techniques inside, poison arts, and other branches of Alchemy Dao were all-encompassing and contained everything.


    When Ye Yuan entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he did not care about other books. He only paid the most attention to the alchemy-related books.


    In the last few decades on the Rainclear Continent, Ye Yuan��s martial arts did not make much progress. He spent a lot of time on these classics.


    The Xuanji Nine Leaves was one of them.


    This acupuncture technique used Xuanji star force as the guide, triggering the resonance of all the heavens, and had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.


    Its control over the flow of blood energy was especially unique.


    That day, after Ye Yuan diagnosed Song Miao��s pulse, he had some ideas in his mind.


    This set of Xuanji Nine Leaves was extremely profound. With Ye Yuan��s deep foundation, he spent close to a year��s time before he thoroughly grasped this acupuncture technique too.


    These heavenly alchemists around Ye Yuan, even if they were grade six heavenly alchemists, it was also impossible to grasp this acupuncture technique within a short time.


    ��What he was executing presently was the acupuncture technique that Ye Yuan created from simplifying off the foundation of the Xuanji Nine Leaves by cutting out the superfluous to specifically target blood corruption power.


    Ye Yuan knew that the Extreme Medicine Sect��s heavenly alchemists�� level was still extremely high.


    Under his guidance, grasping this acupuncture technique within ten days was still doable.


    Ye Yuan focused his fingertips. A tiny divine essence needle condensed and forced out.


    With his current skill, he no longer needed to rely on physical objects.


    With the Dao sword as the foundation, the divine essence needle that he condensed had an even stronger effect than ordinary needles.


    Seeing this move, Xiao Shan��s pupils could not help constricting.


    He was the commander of all the military doctors, Extreme Medicine Sect��s peak grade six heavenly alchemist!


    But Ye Yuan��s move made him ashamed of his inferiority.


    Unless he had a needle-type grandmist treasure, he could not compare to Ye Yuan��s ability to condense the divine essence needle.


    But needle-type grandmist treasures were too hard to come by.


    But the following scene made all the heavenly alchemists even more shocked!


    When Ye Yuan stabbed with the needle, the stars across the heavens actually produced a resonance. The entire camp seemed to have become a miniature universe.


    One of the stars was extremely bright. It was precisely the Xuanji Star!


    In Qiao Yiping��s meridians, a pale-yellow divine essence was swimming around.


    The meridians that the divine essence traveled were thick and thin, yet extremely fine.


    Inreality, when applying the needles, this kind of situation would not occur. But, Ye Yuan did it in order to let these people feel it distinctly.


    But it was precisely so that the shock of the scene was even stronger!


    Especially those Extreme Medicine Sect disciples, although they stumbled hard this time, they were still unconvinced in their hearts to follow an outsider to learn acupuncture technique.


    Many were bottling their thoughts up, wanting to see how impressive Ye Yuan was.


    Now, they saw it.


    The acupuncture method had two sections.


    One section was on oneself.


    One section was on the patient.


    A person would work one��s body to call down the power of Heavenly Dao, injecting it into the sick body, reversing the universe.


    Regarding this step, Ye Yuan calling down such powerful stellar power already made them lost in wonder.


    While in the sick body, the operation of divine essence and application of Heavenly Dao power were also complicated to the extreme.


    But at this time, the meridians in Qiao Yiping��s body became incomparably clear.


    Even those meridians that were tiny until they were invisible to the naked eyes were manifested by Ye Yuan.


    ��A marvelous work of art! Marvelous work of art! I didn��t expect that acupuncture techniques can actually be used to such a degree!��


    ��What a formidable acupuncture technique! My Extreme Medicine Sect doesn��t have such a formidable acupuncture technique either!��


    ��This level of acupuncture technique can actually be used so transcendently by him, truly godlike!��


    ��Master! An absolute master! We all, heavenly alchemists�� years of living, have been an utter waste!��


    Very soon, cries of exclamations sounded out all around.


    Ye Yuan used his acupuncture technique and completely conquered this group of proud peacocks.


    Originally, Dao Chen still had quite a bit of resentment in his heart.


    Although Ye Yuan hit the mark, he was unconvinced in his heart, feeling that Ye Yuan just caught it by sheer luck.


    But now, he did not have any temper in his heart at all.


    What remained was only admiration!


    Too formidable!


    Such a wondrous acupuncture technique, he was absolutely unable to execute it.


    ��Asa top figure among the Extreme Medicine Sect��s grade five heavenly alchemists, Dao Chen��s alchemy path strength was not weak.


    Not only was it not weak, but it could also virtually look down proudly upon his peers!


    His eyesight was naturally extremely strong.


    He saw through that this acupuncture technique was after it was simplified. It was not hard for him to learn it. But, wanting to reach Ye Yuan��s level, it was impossible to achieve it without ten years of hard work.


    And this was just the acupuncture technique post-simplification!


    But, how much time had Ye Yuan been in contact with the blood race?


    He could simplify the acupuncture technique and even apply it to such an exaggerated level. It showed that Ye Yuan��s acupuncture technique had already reached an ingenious level of application.


    It could be used freely at will!


    Convinced!


    Xiao Shan��s gaze had been fixed on the stellar power in the house.


    ��Xuanji Nine Leaves! It��s actually the legendary Xuanji Nine Leaves! This acupuncture technique has already been lost for hundreds of thousands of years! Now, it actually reappeared in the world! Just what origins does this boy have?�� Xiao Shan said in shock.


    ��Xuanji Nine Leaves? Is this acupuncture technique very formidable?�� Dao Chen wondered.


    Xiao Shan said, ��More than just formidable! Legends have it that this acupuncture technique can defy heaven and change fate, bringing the dead back to life! In fact, after grasping this set of acupuncture techniques, one will be invincible at the same rank in martial arts too! Flying needles killing people


    without making a sound, taking your life as easily as flipping over your hand! Do you think it��s amazing or not?��


    With this, everyone was no longer calm.


    Acupuncture technique was acupuncture technique. It was an aid to Alchemy Dao.


    Now, Xiao Shan actually said that this acupuncture technique was also invincible in the same rank in martial arts. This was too terrifying.


    ��I-It��s actually so formidable? My Extreme Medicine Sect doesn��t have such a fierce acupuncture technique either! How �� How did he obtain it?�� Dao Chen muttered.


    Looking at a leopard through a tube and one was to see only one spot. He knew that Xiao Shan was not exaggerating things to raise an alarm.


    Although the acupuncture technique that Ye Yuan displayed was not profound, what Ye Yuan displayed was clearly just a very superficial part.


    This acupuncture technique was indeed extensive and profound.


    Except, the more formidable this acupuncture technique was, the more depressed Dao Chen was.


    Ye Yuan was merely born in a remote continent at sea. How could that place possibly have such a formidable acupuncture technique?


    In fact, even Extreme Medicine Sect, one of the top sects in the world, did not have it.


    This sort of thing was seriously too fantastical.


    In the wake of Ye Yuan applying one needle after another, the poisonous sores on Qiao Yiping��s body were currently disappearing rapidly.


    His complexion actually became rosy too.


    ��T�� Im actually not dead yet?�� Qiao Yiping opened his eyes, a little dazed.


    ��When Zhao Chen saw this scene, he could not help revealing a look of wild ecstasy.


    Qiao Viping��s consciousness was originally already blurry. Now, he actually regained his senses!


    Master Ye��s means truly startled heaven and earth and made gods and ghosts weep!

 Chapter 2813 - Grandiose Ambitions, but Puny Ability

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��You��re not dead now, but you��re also not far from death. After I applied the acupuncture technique, your corrupt blood power has been suppressed to 70%. But the consequence of this kind of suppression is that once it erupts again, you��ll die even more horribly.��


    Ye Yuan was not exaggerating to scare people.


    His acupuncture technique could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.


    Actually, there was no essential difference between it and the suppression method of the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    The only difference was that it was more brilliant than the Extreme Medicine Sect��s method.


    It sounded like there were no differences.


    But the heavenly alchemists present were long already inexplicably shocked.


    More than 90% of the corrupted blood was suppressed to 70%!


    Ever since the war with the blood race, nobody in the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had done this!


    Furthermore, Qiao Yiping was inflicted with the blood corruption poison previously and later suppressed by the Extreme Medicine Sect with true spirit blood.


    Now that it had erupted again, it could be said to be fiercer than a tiger.


    However, he was still saved by Ye Yuan!


    ��They thought that Ye Yuan��s acupuncture technique could only control the spread of the corrupted blood. Who could have thought that it could actually directly suppress it back?


    At this very moment, many of the heavenly alchemists present actually felt ashamed of their unworthiness.


    ��Many thanks to Master Ye for helping out!�� By the side, Zhao Chen said gratefully.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Don��t be in a hurry to thank first. Whether or not the method to deal with the blood corruption poison can be found, it is still not known. It won��t be too late to thank again after truly resolving this disaster!��


    Zhao Chen shook his head and said, ��This Zhao is already endlessly grateful that Master Ye is willing to take action! Qiao Yiping, why haven��t you thanked Master Ye!��


    Qiao Viping hurriedly said, ��T-Thank you, Master Ye, for repaying evil with good, and saving this Qiao!��


    ��That day, among the people who mocked Ye Yuan, there was also Qiao Yiping.


    Hence, when he saw that it was Ye Yuan who came to the rescue, he immediately felt too ashamed to show his face.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, considered to have accepted it. Turning his head to Zhao Chen, he said, ��Go and gather the soldiers who are most severely poisoned by the blood corruption poison here.��


    ��Yes!�� At this time, Zhao Chen was long already wholeheartedly convinced by Ye Yuan, immediately receiving the order and leaving.


    Xiao Shan was also exceedingly shocked by Ye Yuan��s strength in his heart. But currently, his eyes were flickered indeterminately.


    He was moved by this heaven- defying acupuncture technique!


    There were also Dao Chen and many members of the Extreme Medicine Sect who were similarly moved.


    Very soon, Qiao Yiping was carried away. Another injured person under Zhao Chen was carried in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Put away those stray thoughts. You guys only have a few days! After this storm, I��ll impart you guys the Xuanji Nine Leaves,�� Ye Yuan said to Xiao Shan and the others with his back facing them while he applied the needles.


    The moment these words came out, Xiao Shan somewhat doubted his own ears.


    Such a heaven-defying acupuncture technique, Ye Yuan handed it over with both hands just like that?


    This guy wouldn��t be deliberately buying time, right?


    Just as his thoughts were running wild, Ye Yuan continued slowly, ��In times of crisis, one should abandon the idea of sects in the first place. The Xuanji Nine Leaves is indeed a supreme needle technique. But, no matter how strong I alone am, the number of people I can save is limited too. It��s better to impart


    it. Only then can it save even more companions.��


    Hearing these, Xiao Shan wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into


    Compared to Ye Yuan, they were too shallow, too narrow-minded!


    Yeah, if Ye Yuan really had some other thoughts, having suffered so much grievance previously, he would not have come forward at all.


    But not only did he step forward, he even overturned the tides and saved the Heaven One army.


    Very soon, stellar power lit up once again.


    After five days and five nights of treatment, saving dozens of patients in the most critical conditions, Ye Yuan never took a rest.


    Some of the heavenly alchemists watching from the sides were already drowsy with sleep.


    When even the person applying the needles did not rest, they were naturally embarrassed to rest.


    Many people secretly cursed Ye Yuan for being a freak. Was he not tired?


    Acupuncture was a workmanship ability that required extreme meticulousness.


    In the human body, even the slightest mistake could result in very serious consequences.


    Therefore, rest was necessary.


    But five days passed. Ye Yuan had not made a single mistake.


    This sort of thing, even Xiao Shan this True Sovereign Heaven could not do it.


    Finally, Ye Yuan spat out a mouthful of turbid breath and stood up.


    ��Learned it?* Ye Yuan looked toward Xiao Shan and asked.


    Xiao Shan nodded and said confidently, ��90%! As long as I familiarize for another few days, the remaining 10% will naturally be learned without extra effort!��


    Ye Yuan looked towards Dao Chen and asked, ��What about you?��


    Dao Chen said, ��70%!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Those who feel that they can reach 70%, come forward.��


    After speaking, ten heavenly alchemists stepped forward in a row.


    These ten people were all from the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    ��The formula and essentials have all already been imparted to you all. Now, you guys apply the needles! However, Ill say the unpleasant things first. Human lives are at stake. How much ability you have, just say how much you have. Don��t go beyond your means! Otherwise, you��ll be punished by military law!��


    ��Master Ye, you��re also looking down on our Extreme Medicine Sect too much! The Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples, no matter how weak, they can also look down proudly on those in the same rank! The Xuanji Nine Leaves is indeed formidable, but your acupuncture technique isn��t difficult. To us, it��s


    sufficient!�� Dao Chen said brimming with confidence.


    The disciples of Hegemon level sects were absolute elites when looking across all the heavens too.


    Across the entire 33 Heavens, Hegemon level sects could be counted too.


    The pride in their hearts could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright then. You guys step forward and apply the needles!��


    ��With regards to Xiao Shan, these few grade six heavenly alchemists, Ye Yuan naturally felt assured.


    But, toward grade five heavenly alchemists, he was really quite worried.


    A doctor��s benevolence, not being able to treat was fine. But killing people through treatment would be a big problem!


    Very soon, Xiao Shan and the others began to apply the needles.


    Stars illuminated in the camp!


    Among them, it was Xiao Shan��s stellar power that was the strongest.


    To them, these Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples, the days after the defeat were not easy.


    Hence, they also urgently needed an opportunity to wash away the shame of the sect.


    At present, it was clearly a great opportunity.


    Xiao Shan did his best. His performance was the best!


    ��Asa grade six heavenly alchemist, his eyesight and learning ability were far from what grade five heavenly alchemists could compare to.


    These five days, he had already deduced countless in his mind.


    In addition, there was the demonstration of Ye Yuan, this master. He was naturally even more confident.


    The moment a grade six heavenly alchemist took action, that was naturally extraordinary.


    Xiao Shan had the intention of showing off too, so as to restore the reputation of the sect.


    Fora time, the other people��s sharp edge was overshadowed by him all at once.


    Even the stellar power that Ye Yuan called down could not compare to him.


    ��Master Xiao Shan is well-deserving of being the commander of the military doctors, a grade six heavenly alchemist! In just five short days, he could cultivate this technique to such a boundary, remarkable!��


    ��Master Dao Chen is also amazing. He��s just a grade five heavenly alchemist. His future prospects are limitless!��


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is the Extreme Medicine Sect. This deep foundation is incomparable!��


    The moment the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples made their moves, it immediately attracted a burst of exclamations.


    Not just Xiao Shan, the technique of the other Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples also made people exclaim with admiration.


    But, seeing Xiao Shan applying the needles, Ye Yuan��s expression became odd.


    90%?


    Was boasting done like this?


    Or did the Extreme Medicine Sect��s people all have such grandiose ambitions but puny abilities?

 Chapter 2814 - : Battle of Doctors!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    In Ye Yuan��s eyes, Xiao Shan��s current technique was at most considered a pass.


    60%


    This guy actually bragged that he reached 90%?


    As for the others, only Dao Chen was slightly better, barely reaching 50%.


    The rest did not even reach 50%.


    Ye Yuan could not help but have some doubts. Were these guys really from a Hegemon level sect?


    This needle technique was indeed born out of the Xuanji Nine Leaves.


    But simplicity was not simple!


    Ye Yuan��s Xuanji Nine Leaves had long already attained sublimity, completely under his control.


    Pray tell, could the acupuncture technique that he developed really be simple?


    If it was simple, it would also be impossible to forcibly suppress the berserk blood corruption poison.


    Xiao Shan��s momentum looked very powerful, but he did not comprehend the essence of his acupuncture technique at all, even though he had already repeatedly emphasized it.


    Ye Yuan could not help sighing. It seemed like he still thought too highly of the disciples of these Hegemon level holy land.


    He was actually like everyone else, blindly trusting these sects.


    He had already taught by precept and example.


    The rest could only depend on these people��s own comprehensions.


    But looking at it now, it seemed like it did not go as he wanted.


    Although the current techniques of Xiao Shan and the others were still a little unfamiliar, even if they become proficient, it would be impossible to truly reach his level too.


    Many of those heavenly alchemists were secretly watching Ye Yuan��s expression.


    Seeing Ye Yuan secretly shake his head, these people could not help feeling unhappy.


    It seemed like Master Ye was a narrow-minded person too and could not stand to see other people get good.


    ��Urgh, urgh �� puuuuu!��


    Suddenly, one of the patients started twitching and directly spewed out a mouthful of blood.


    His aura was rapidly wilting.


    The people present could not help jumping in fright.


    It was still fine just now. What happened?


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he arrived in front of that person like lightning.


    ��Scram!��


    He kicked that Extreme Medicine Sect disciple flying with a foot, the divine essence needles in his hand penetrating into the patient��s body swiftly.


    Along with one divine essence needle after another being injected, that person��s blood corruption poison was finally forcefully suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    Except, the effect of the treatment was much poorer.


    Ye Yuan shot that person who was kicked flying by him fiercely and shouted coldly, ��Told you guys just now, how much ability you have, just say how much. Don��t show off your ability! With your bit of skill, you also dare to come out and apply the needles?��


    In Ye Yuan��s view, as a heavenly alchemist, one could not do anything that they were not confident of.


    Clearly did not have the ability but wanted to attempt it. This was harming people!


    This sort of thing, Ye Yuan could not stand it!


    The person who was kicked flying was called Zhang Xiu, who was also an elite disciple of the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Being berated by Ye Yuan, Zhang Xiu said indignantly, ��It��s my first time applying the needles after all. How can I have absolute confidence? You��re clearly holding a grudge against what happened before and using your position to get even with your personal grudge!��


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples were extremely prideful.


    If not for the blow due to the incident this time, their arrogance could poke a hole in the sky.


    In his view, being able to reach this step for the first time was already very impressive.


    Actually, he was just on the cusp of being able and not being able to do it.


    But, for the sake of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s face, he still stepped forward without hesitation.


    It was just that he did not expect that he still messed it up in the end.


    ��When Ye Yuan heard this, he smiled coldly and said, ��You mean that because it��s the first time you��re applying the needles, you can treat the brothers�� lives as a joke? If he died, he deserves it?��


    Zhang Xiu��s expression changed, and he said with a cold snort, ��I didn��t say that. You��re making slanderous charges! Surnamed Ye, let me tell you, my Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples aren��t easy to bully!��


    Xiao Shan had already finished applying the needles, but his brows furrowed together.


    He knew that he had bragged too hard!


    Just now, he pledged in all solemnity that he had already comprehended 90%.


    While he had completed the treatment, the effects of his treatment were much worse than Ye Yuan��s.


    It probably did not even reach half.


    He was a grade six heavenly alchemist. How could he not know the gap in between?


    Logically speaking, if he had comprehended 80%, the effects should naturally also be 90% of Ye Yuan��s.


    But now, it was not even half.


    He was fully focused just now and did not notice the rest.


    But now, seeing Ye Yuan getting mad at Zhang Xiu, he figured out the whole story and said with a frown, ��Ye Yuan, I��ll apologize on behalf of Zhang Xiu for this matter. First time applying the needles, mistakes occurring is inevitable.��


    ��When Ye Yuan heard it, he was even more enraged and said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, you want to brush this over casually with a sentence? Previously, when using the true spirit blood to suppress the blood corruption poison, it was like this. Now, when I teach you guys the Xuanji Nine Leaves, it��s still the


    same! Are human lives worthless in your eyes? Doctors are not martial artists. One would rather not take action if they don��t have the confidence!��


    ��I clearly said before previously. Don��t step forward if you don��t have the confidence! But you all? You didn��t care at all and had to come forward to flaunt your superiority! Disregarding this guy, the others are also all lumps of shit when applying the needles!��


    Actually, it could not be said that Ye Yuan did not have anger in his heart for what happened before.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s attitude towards this sort of thing was completely different from him.


    Changing perspectives, if someone questioned his proposal at that time, he would definitely go and ascertain it.


    But these people did not take other people��s opinions in at all!


    If say that his words carried little weight at that time, then what about now?


    He had already proved his strength, they saw it too, but they were still like this.


    Ye Yuan��s dissatisfaction with these people also reached its peak.


    Therefore, his words were very nasty too.


    Xiao Shan��s eyes could not help turning cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Zhang Xiu is the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple after all. What do you want?��


    These words were using the Extreme Medicine Sect to oppress people.


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect had a pivotal status in the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and the Heaven One war.


    A measly little Ye Yuan was insignificant like an ant in front of such a colossal giant.


    Ye Yuan laughed from extreme rage and said, ��I said before previously, punishment by military law! It looks like you guys treated it like water rolling off a duck��s back!��


    Zhang Xiu did not care about these words at all and said disdainfully, ��What a joke! How many people have my Extreme Medicine Sect��s saved in this war? How many great achievements have been made! Now, you actually want to punish me with military law?��


    Xiao Shan also said in a cold voice, ��Nobody can touch my Extreme Medicine Sect��s people!��


    It became dangerously explosively inside the tent!


    Each and every one of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples turned their noses up at Ye Yuan.


    Their haughtiness would not change because of Ye Yuan��s monstrous performance.


    ��When a conflict happened, their contempt for Ye Yuan was no less.


    No matter how monstrous, he was also just an ant!


    In front of the Extreme Medicine Sect, he was nothing!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan restrained his imposing aura, turned around and came to the patient��s side, and began to administer needles.


    This person had needles administered by one of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples previously.


    The effects �� barely managed to suppress the blood corruption poison. Furthermore, it was very unstable.


    Ye Yuan saved the life of the seemingly hopeless patient again off of his foundation.


    He did not say a word, re-treating these soldiers anew, including Xiao Shan��s.


    ��When Zhang Xiu saw this scene, he could not help but snicker.. He said disdainfully, ��I was wondering how impressive Great Genius Ye was, but it turns out that it��s nothing more than this!��

 Chapter 2815 - Winning Sincerity with Sincerity!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��He still yielded in the end!��


    ��There��s no choice. Who made the Extreme Medicine Sect to be so powerful? In our Heaven One army, only the Extreme Medicine Sect are experts in alchemy. Even if one reaches the Hegemon Realm, they have to give them face too. Otherwise, this war can��t be fought anymore!��


    ��However, I feel that it��s still Master Ye who��s sympathetic to us, these common people! A doctor��s benevolence, Master Ye is really thinking about us!��


    ��think so too, but an arm can��t twist a thigh. He can��t help it as well.��


    Ye Yuan��s rage naturally aroused the strong dislike of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples.


    But those ordinary soldiers felt that it was very intimate.


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, when placed on the Rainclear Continent, was an absolute overlord.


    But, in this entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, they were barely qualified to be cannon fodders.


    In this war, they were even more so cannon fodder-like existences.


    To those powerhouses, their lives were completely worthless.


    Even in the eyes of these top major sects�� disciples, their lives were worthless too.


    If they died, so be it. Being able to contribute to the Heaven One army, that was their honor.


    This could be felt from Zhang Xiu��s words.


    But Ye Yuan��s way of doing things gave them dignity.


    ��They were grateful to Ye Yuan in their hearts, but facing a behemoth like the Extreme Medicine Sect, they were powerless to do anything too.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan treated those ten people.


    Xiao Shan said, ��Ye Yuan, you��ve indeed rendered two great contributions, but compared to my Extreme Medicine Sect, you��re still too insignificant! Our Extreme Medicine Sect is supporting the entire Heaven One Continent! Do you understand?��


    Dao Chen also smiled coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, you have to understand your status! You��re merely a grade five heavenly alchemist! Our Extreme Medicine Sect isn��t an existence that you can afford to provoke!��


    ��These words were rather impolite already.


    Akind person gets bullied, a kind horse gets ridden.


    Ye Yuan ��giving in�� made Dao Chen and the rest even more proud of themselves.


    ��The Heaven One army��s heavenly alchemist system and the Extreme Medicine Sect established their own systems. Other heavenly alchemists did not dare to fight at all.


    Those heavenly alchemists that were from the Extreme Medicine Sect also regarded themselves as superior to others.


    Actually, the Extreme Medicine Sect had committed a fatal error in this war.


    But nobody dared to raise it up and punish them to teach them a lesson.


    Hearing this, Ye Yuan slowly got up, looked toward Dao Chen, and said, ��Oh? In this army, one needs to talk about status too? Isn��t it, military orders can��t be disobeyed?��


    Dao Chen said disdainfully, ��In the army, military orders naturally can��t be disobeyed! But who the hell are you? You��re merely a foreigner from a remote continent. You don��t even have status! You aren��t a member of the army at all. You��re actually giving orders here; how laughable!��


    ��Haha, you said punish by military law, and we��ll punish by military law? Do you think that you��re Commander-in-chief Ming Yi? A measly little grade five heavenly alchemist giving orders here, who gave you the authority?�� Zhang Xiu said with a loud laugh.


    What was called overestimating one��s own ability?


    This is called overestimating one��s own ability!


    In the view of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s people, Ye Yuan��s posturing action was really laughable.


    In the heavenly alchemist system, no one dared to posture in front of the Extreme Medicine Sect yet!


    Zhao Chen was very anxious by the side. With regards to Ye Yuan, he already held him in great esteem.


    He could feel that Ye Yuan sincerely had the best interests at heart for his brothers.


    Otherwise, he could have long let the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples administer the needles.


    But he did not.


    Ye Yuan set an example by personally taking part, taking great pains to demonstrate the Xuanji Nine Leaves. It was for the sake of letting these Extreme Medicine Sect disciples learn a little faster.


    Even so, he was still worried and planned on letting these people administer the needles in batches.


    Reality also proved that Ye Yuan was right.


    Zhao Chen also could not deny that the Extreme Medicine Sect was a pillar of the Heaven One Continent.


    But, they did not have any compassion towards ordinary soldiers at all.


    In fact, many times, they were just test subjects.


    Now, seeing the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples target Ye Yuan together, he could not look on anymore and spoke up, ��Master Ye saved our lives. He��s our brother and naturally a part of the army!��


    ��Right! Master Ye saved Heaven One Continent and saved all of our lives! Now, he��s helping us suppress the blood corruption poison. He��s our brother!��


    ��What Centurion Zhao said is right. He��s our brother!��


    The moment Zhao Chen opened his mouth, there were immediately many people who concurred.


    Sincerity was often won with sincerity in the army.


    If you were good to him, he would know.


    Furthermore, the feelings between fellow officers tend to be even more sincere.


    ��These few days, Ye Yuan administered the needles day and night without sleeping or resting.


    In the hearts of these ordinary soldiers, they had long already treated Ye Yuan as a brother.


    ��There were probably hundreds of soldiers present.


    When they spoke up simultaneously, it directly pushed the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples to the corner of the wall.


    Including Xiao Shan, each and every one of their faces was awkward to the extreme.


    This face was slapped resoundingly!


    ��Zhao Chen! Are you rebelling?�� Dao Chen shouted angrily.


    Zhang Xiu also questioned, ��Ye Yuan saved your lives, but didn��t my Extreme Medicine Sect save your lives?��


    Zhao Chen said, ��The Extreme Medicine Sect has naturally saved our lives before, but you didn��t! Not only didn��t you guys save us before, you nearly caused the northern front army to completely collapse!��


    Zhao Chen��s one sentence directly cornered the Extreme Medicine Sect again.


    They were unable to refute.


    It was because this was a fact!


    Dao Chen laughed from extreme fury and said, ��Huhu, Zhao Chen, grew capable huh! Have you forgotten how you sucked up to us back then? Have you forgotten how you reproved Ye Yuan?��


    Zhao Chen said neither obsequiously nor haughtily, ��What you said is right! Back then, we believed in the Extreme Medicine Sect too much, resulting in today��s disastrous consequences! The initially over 300 men under me are only left with 100 men now! Among these 100 men, there are even 70% who


    are afflicted with blood corruption poison! If not for Master Ye, it would have been impossible for the 100 of us to return! Even if we returned, at most 20 to 30 of these 100 people can remain!��


    The moment these words came out, the ordinary soldiers nodded one after another.


    Zhao Chen��s current mood, they felt the same way too.


    For some centurions, the men under them were pretty much all dead.


    But the expressions of Dao Chen and the rest became ugly to the extreme.


    One should not hit the face when hitting people, but this face was really slapped resoundingly now.


    No one had ever dared to slap the Extreme Medicine Sect��s face like this before.


    Did these guys all eat a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall?


    Xiao Shan��s face darkened, and he said, ��Come, men! Zhao Chen is misleading people with rumors, slandering the Extreme Medicine Sect! Take Zhao Chen down for me and punish by military law!��


    Immediately, two attendant soldiers beside him stepped out of the ranks and immediately escorted Zhao Chen.


    Zhao Chen was clearly long prepared and did not resist.


    He was not a fool. Xiao Shan was a True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse, a commander of the northem front army.


    ��When he came forward at this time and spoke up for Ye Yuan, he would definitely be retaliated against.


    But, he felt that he should come forward at this time.


    Just as the attendant soldier was going to drag Zhao Chen away, Ye Yuan suddenly spoke up, ��Stop!��


    Xiao Shan looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly, ��You��re not a member of the army. Could it be that you still want to interfere in our army��s affairs


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and flashed a plaque, saying coolly, ��What did you say just now? Say it again!��

 Chapter 2816 - Drag Outside, Kill!”

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Seeing the token that Ye Yuan flashed, Xiao Shan��s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    ��Great Commander Token! How �� How do you have this?�� Xiao Shan said in shock.


    Although Xiao Shan was questioning it, the ��Ye�� word engraved on the token, as well as the unique aura emitting from the token, could not be faked.


    Regarding the northern front army, not counting Emperor level powerhouses, the highest commander was Ming Yi this commander-in-chief.


    And below him were the five grand completion True Sovereign Heaven great commanders


    Below great commanders, True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were all commander level.


    Each person had a corresponding token.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually took out a great commander token. The shock in Xiao Shan��s heart could be imagined.


    ��There were only five of these tokens!


    Furthermore, their holders were all grand completion True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    Where did Ye Yuan get it?


    ��Emperor Dan Fei conferred the great commander token and let me lead the northern front army��s heavenly alchemist division! Commander Xiao, I wonder if �� this Ye has the authority to meddle in this army��s affairs?�� Ye Yuan looked at Xiao Shan and said it word by word.


    Everyone present was in an uproar!


    Meanwhile, Xiao Shan��s pupils constricted, having a look of astonishment in his eyes.


    This great commander token was actually personally bestowed by Emperor Dan Fei!


    Emperor Dan Fei was the supreme commander of the northern battlefront in the truest sense!


    Normally, his movements and traces were elusive and secretive.


    The Saint Sovereign Heaven army��s battles were actually on the outer-periphery too.


    ��The true core regions were the great battles of these Emperor level powerhouses.


    That level of fight could be said to startle heaven and shock the earth.


    Logically speaking, Commander-in-chief Ming Yi himself already had the qualifications to confer great commander.


    But the heavenly alchemist division did not have a great commander. It had always been Xiao Shan in charge of it.


    Xiao Shan��s strength was lacking, and he could not be a great commander either.


    But who could have thought that Emperor Dan Fei actually personally intervened in the affairs of the army and bestowed the great commander token upon Ye Yuan!


    Didn��t this mean that Ye Yuan directly became his, Xiao Shan��s, superior?


    This sort of thing was too comical!


    A measly little grade five heavenly alchemist actually became the immediate superior of him, a grade six heavenly alchemist?


    But, something that Emperor Dan Fei personally concerned himself with, who could refute it?


    The likes of Xiao Shan and Dao Chen had always been calling Ye Yuan��s identity into question before. Now, it was good. Not only did Ye Yuan become a member of the army, but he also even became the great commander of the northern front army��s heavenly alchemist division!


    Could he not meddle?


    He could meddle too well!


    The heavenly alchemist division��s great commander was just nice in charge of all the heavenly alchemists present, including Xiao Shan!


    It was unbelievably appropriate!


    Actually, Xiao Shan��s arrest of Zhao Chen was somewhat unjustifiable.


    After all, Zhao Chen was not his direct subordinate.


    But the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples were used to normally being domineering. Coupled with Xiao Shan��s status as commander, he was the heavenly alchemist division��s great commander in practice.


    Even Zhao Chen��s superiors would not intercede for him too.


    But now, things were different.


    If Commander Xiao has any doubts, you can go and ask Commander-in-chief Ming Yi!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��No need! This token can��t be faked!�� Xiao Shan said in a solemn voice.


    He had never felt so aggrieved before!


    ��As one of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s grade six heavenly alchemists, his status in the army was extremely respected.


    Even True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had to beg him for help too.


    But now, he was actually being suppressed by a grade five heavenly alchemist. How could he not be gloomy?


    Ye Yuan naturally did not care about Xiao Shan��s attitude. He said lightly, ��Then can this great commander meddle in the army��s affairs?��


    ��You can!�� Xiao Shan said in a muffled voice.


    But these words were like a clap of thunder when they landed in Zhang Xiu��s ears, instantly stunning him.


    ��What was the meaning of this?


    Not caring about him anymore?


    That Ye Yuan was assuming a new official post, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Since I can meddle, then this great commander will say a few more words here! In this army, the brothers with sects and factions are probably not in the minority! The Hegemon level sects in this Heaven One Continent are also not just your Extreme Medicine Sect alone! The Extreme


    Medicine Sect has indeed rendered great contributions in resisting the blood race, but which of the brothers fighting on the battlefield doesn��t have credit? The other Hegemon level sects have no credit? Or is it that the Saint Sovereign Heavens that came from Hegemon level sects have a higher status


    than those small sects?��


    ��If that��s the case, our side has already established factions. How will this war still be fought? After entering the army, everyone is a fellow officer brother! Heavenly alchemists are a member of the army too! Everyone has parents and were raised by them. Who��s more valuable than others? You��re a Saint


    Sovereign Heaven, but isn��t he also a Saint Sovereign Heaven? If you have the ability, try breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��With the army being defeated this time, the Extreme Medicine Sect can��t absolve yourselves from the blame! Nobody is investigating you guys precisely because the Extreme Medicine Sect has made great contributions! But committing mistakes is committing mistakes. We can��t talk about it? Said a few


    words about you, and he has to get punished by military law? Xiao Shan, then how will you be dealt with for rebutting me, this great commander? Dao Chen, you��re merely a grade five heavenly alchemist. How should you be dealt with for talking back to me, this great commander?��


    Xiao Shan��s face turned black, and he was immediately choked until he could not speak.


    You��re freaking sneak attacking me!


    Clearly had the great commander token long ago, but you didn��t take it out!


    As for Dao Chen, his face even became ashen.


    Actually, it was really not that Ye Yuan ambushed him.


    After coming out from Dan Fei there, Ming Yi still had important military affairs to discuss, so he stayed behind and casually instructed his subordinates to bring Ye Yuan to diagnose and treat the soldiers.


    Ye Yuan was not someone who showed off either. He naturally would not take out his great commander token.


    If not for the Extreme Medicine Sect pressing people too far, he really would not care for taking out the great commander token.


    Talready crushed you in Alchemy Dao. What did I still need some great commander token for?


    ��Let him go!�� Ye Yuan said to the two attendant soldiers coldly.


    The two attendant soldiers were at a loss on what to do and looked toward Xiao Shan.


    Xiao Shan waved his hand, indicating for them to let go. Only then did they behave like they were granted amnesty.


    It was so uncomfortable to be caught between Great Commander and Commander!


    ��When Zhao Chen was released, his two eyes were emitting light.


    He also did not expect that Master Ye actually performed an unexpected reversal, slapping the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples�� faces resoundingly!


    In reality, after returning from the big defeat this time, they really felt aggrieved to the extreme.


    It was clearly a man-made disaster, but they could not say it out loud.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s prestige in their hearts fell to rock-bottom all at once.


    Now, Ye Yuan saying it out in front of everyone, they felt much more liberated.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan shouted coldly, ��Zhao Chen, take Zhang Xiu down for me!��


    Zhao Chen��s entire body trembled, immediately stepping forward and arresting Zhang Xiu.


    Zhang Xiu yelled, ��Martial Uncle Xiao Shan, save me!��


    Xiao Shan had a sullen face as he said in a cold voice, ��Great Commander, do you really have to do this? My Extreme Medicine Sect��s face isn��t easy to slap! You��ve just arrived and might not know it yet. Among the Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses that came this time, there��s also my Extreme Medicine


    Sect��s ancestor!��


    The Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses were naturally not just Dan Fei alone.


    It was just that he was the strongest.


    However, Ye Yuan did not buy it and just said coolly, ��Military orders can��t be disobeyed! Today, if I don��t kill people, you guys won��t know the preciousness of human life! Our comrades aren��t for people to use as experiments! Zhao Chen, haul him out and kill him!��

 Chapter 2817 - Resolving a Big Issue with Little Effort!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Zhang Xiu died!


    The entire army was in shock!


    Nobody expected that an Extreme Medicine Sect��s top disciple was sentenced to death just like this!


    Unexpectedly, but also within reason, the applause was continuous.


    The big defeat was not to be blamed on the fight. The loss was too pathetic.


    It was clearly the Extreme Medicine Sect who caused the defeat, but in the end, they could not do anything to them.


    The Heaven One army needed a relief outlet.


    And Zhang Xiu played this role very honorably.


    ��Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples finally got their retribution! Feels amazin,


    ��I didn��t expect that Ye Yuan, a grade five heavenly alchemist, could actually become a great commander! | feel that he is intentionally helping us to vent this frustration!��


    ��Haha, what a coincidence! I think so too! With so many of our brothers dead, what right do they have to be completely fine?��


    ��Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples normally had aloof airs like they are standing high above the masses. Your Father has found them displeasing to the eye for a long time!��


    It was true that the Extreme Medicine Sect was a pillar that propped up the sky.


    But this also developed the domineering personalities of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples.


    Even if they were similarly Saint Sovereign Heavens, they were also aloof from the masses.


    In their eyes, ordinary soldiers were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as them at all.


    Therefore, the people in the army who were unhappy with them were not in the minority.


    It was just that they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    After all, when they get injured, they still needed the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples to treat them.


    Sentencing Zhang Xiu to death, Xiao Shan flicked his sleeves and walked away.


    Everyone knew that an even higher level contest would start soon!


    At the northern front battle this time, the Extreme Medicine Sect sent an ancestor over too!


    Killing the Extreme Medicine Sect��s people was equivalent to slapping their faces. How could they be willing to drop the matter?


    ��The wrath of an Emperor level powerhouse was not what a measly little Saint Sovereign heaven could bear.


    In the eyes of Emperor level powerhouses, Ye Yuan, this great commander, had no weight at all.


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples were even sneering in their hearts.


    Do you think that by becoming a great commander, you can use a made-up directive to order people around and disregard my Extreme Medicine Sect?


    Laughable!


    Great Commander, just you wait to receive Ancestor��s wrath!


    When he heard the news of Zhang Xiu being sentenced to death, Ming Yi was currently discussing military affairs with Emperor Dan Fei.


    He suddenly stood up and said angrily, ��This boy, is he crazy? It��s just been a few days, and he caused such a major problem! When Emperor Zuo Chen finds out about this news, he��ll definitely be beyond furious! Lord Emperor, please hurry up and rescind your order! Otherwise, if it causes unhappiness


    between emperors, that will be a big problem!��


    But Dan Fei��s reaction was not as intense as Ming Yi��s.


    On the contrary, the corners of his mouth even revealed a hint of a smile.


    He reached his hand out and pressed down, gesturing to Ming Yias he said smilingly, ��Just a small matter.��


    Ming Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��Lord Emperor, this isn��t a small matter!��


    But Dan Fei said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Do you feel that Ye Yuan did something wrong with regards to this matter?��


    Ming Yi said without the slightest hesitation, ��Of course he��s wrong! The Extreme Medicine Sect is a pillar that props up the sky. How can one of them be killed lightly? Moreover, there��s even Ancestor Zuo Chen standing behind them! Originally, letting him be the great commander, Xiao Shan would


    definitely be unconvinced. Now, doesn��t it leave behind even more of a handle for gossip?��


    But Dan Fei smiled meaningfully and said, ��Ming Yi, you �� are not seeing it as deeply as Ye Yuan!��


    Ming Yi was startled and hurriedly said, ��Lord Emperor, please clarify!��


    He knew that he might have overlooked some aspects.


    Dan Fei smiled and said, ��You��re wrong. Not only will this matter not incur Zuo Chen��s displeasure, he��ll be grateful to Ye Yuan instead! Ye Yuan, this great commander, has also thoroughly established his position firmly through this matter! Additionally, he��ll even get the whole army��s love and respect!


    Killing three birds with one stone! Hulu, I really didn��t expect that in just a few days, this boy would give this seat a huge surprise!��


    Dan Fei stroked his beard and smiled, clearly extremely satisfied with Ye Yuan.


    Ming Yi was dazed after listening, not knowing what it meant at all.


    When Dan Fei saw that he still did not understand, he could not resist shaking his head and sighing.


    Ming Yi was startled in his heart, is Lord Emperor dissatisfied with me?


    ��The defeat of this great battle was entirely caused by the failure of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s true spirit method of suppression! After returning, it seemed like everyone had forgotten about this. Why is that? Because no one dares to mention this! How can a colossal giant like the Extreme Medicine Sect


    be what a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven army can shake?��


    ��But, if the soldiers don��t say, does that mean that they really had no resentment in their hearts? Of course they do! The big defeat this time nearly caused extremely serious consequences, and it was entirely caused by the Extreme Medicine Sect! The crux is that before the great battle, Ye Yuan even


    warmed the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples that there was a problem with this suppression method! The resentment in the soldiers�� hearts is likely already rising to the sky!��


    ��And just nice at this time, Ye Yuan killed an Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple. What do you think those soldiers will think?��


    Dan Fei explained skillfully and patiently. Ming Yi was dumbfounded from listening.


    ��But �� But Emperor Zuo Chen there


    ��Huhu, Zuo Chen this old fellow, he understands it in his heart! Not only does he understand, but he��s also actually very anxious in his heart too! Emperor Realm powerhouses can naturally disregard the thoughts of Saint Sovereign Heavens. But the failure this time was also a tremendous blow to the


    Extreme Medicine Sect. It even affected their status in the Heaven One Alliance! At this time, it��s particularly important whether or not the soldiers are submitting wholeheartedly!��


    ��Over at the southern front, there hasn��t been too much war recently. There��s still a chance to remedy it. But the northern front here has already suffered a big defeat. So how can the reputation of the Extreme Medicine Sect be restored? Zhang Xiu was just a minor character of little importance. His death


    wont affect much, But it gave the soldiers a great relief outlet. The soldiers understand in their hearts that they can��t do anything to the Extreme Medicine Sect. But they can imagine Zhang Xiu as the Extreme Medicine Sect and blame things on him bitterly!��


    ��Following this incident, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples will be doing their best to treat the injured in the future, and even eradicating the blood corruption poison under Ye Yuan��s lead! Not only will the Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation not suffer damage, but it might also make their prestige like


    the noonday sun instead! No matter how formidable Ye Yuan is, he��s also just one person. It still needs the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples to really save people, isn��t that so?��


    ��A measly little grade five heavenly alchemist��s death can minimize the negative impact of this defeat! Do you think Zuo Chen that old fellow should be grateful to Ye Yuan or not? Not only will he not do anything to Ye Yuan, but he��ll also even recognize Ye Yuan��s status as a great commander! Ye Yuan��s


    position of great commander can be considered to be secured!��


    ��Talking until here, Dan Fei was even more pleased with himself, as if this was his own masterpiece.


    He also indeed had his breath taken away in wonder by Ye Yuan��s ingenious brushwork!


    ��This move was even more amazing than him executing Xuanji Nine Leaves!


    It was completely resolving a big issue with little effort!


    Ming Yi, who was by the side, was long already dumbfounded from listening.


    He completely did not expect that the death of a measly little grade five heavenly alchemist actually implicated such a complicated situation.


    A puny little Ye Yuan could actually see the overall situation so penetratingly?


    This was impossible!


    ��Lord Emperor, his luck is also too good, right?�� Ming Yi shook his head and said with a bitter smile.


    ��Luck?��


    Dan Fei continued and said, ��This isn��t luck! This boy saw things as clearly as viewing a blazing fire, seeing the world clearly, and has exceedingly high comprehension ability! He��s definitely a world-shattering talent! This matter looks like a dispute caused by personal feelings, but in reality, it��s a


    situation that resulted from him advancing gradually and entrenching himself at every step! Each step seemed to be extremely coincidental, but when so many coincidences come together, it��s no longer a coincidence!��

 Chapter 2818 - Great Work!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Ancestor, Ye Yuan this boy is bullying people too far! A measly little grade five heavenly alchemist actually dares to assume the majesty of the tiger and kill our Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple! If this matter is dropped just like this, how will our Extreme Medicine Sect still have face to continue stay in


    the Heaven One Alliance?��


    In front of Emperor Zuo Chen, Xiao Shan could not stop his anger.


    How venerated was the Extreme Medicine Sect, and how noble were their disciples?


    A measly little grade five heavenly alchemist actually rode on top of their heads!


    If this could be endured, what else could not be?


    But, no matter how enraged Xiao Shan was, Zuo Chen seemed to be very calm.


    ��Just this? I got it.�� Zuo Chen said coolly.


    Xiao Shan was stunned. What kind of reaction was this?


    ��Ancestor, then Ye Yuan ����


    ��Restrain our disciples properly. They all have to obey Ye Yuan��s orders! This is the army. He��s the great commander of the heavenly alchemist division. No matter which sect you��re from, you have to obey his orders!�� Zuo Chen still said calmly.


    Xiao Shan somewhat doubted his ears. Did he hear wrongly?


    Ancestor Zuo Chen was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse. He actually wanted his own sect��s people to obey the orders of a grade five heavenly alchemist?


    ��H-How can this be? Could it be that our Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple died in vain just like this?�� Xiao Shan said unwillingly.


    Zuo Chen said, ��How is it in vain? Zhang Xiu��s death was honorable. It��s a worthy death. Transmit orders to the three armies. Zhang Xiu treated others with contempt, went against his superior, and acted with utter disregard for human life. He should be punished for his crime! Ye Yuan has rendered


    amazing merit, his alchemy path talent being outstanding. This seat is going to take him in as a personal disciple. The day when the northern front��s war is brought to successful completion, this seat will officially take him in as a disciple!��


    Xiao Shan was completely dumbfounded. His brain seemed to be unable to think anymore.


    Emperor Zuo Chen��s words shocked him into a daze.


    Ye Yuan killed an Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple. Ancestor did not stand up for him. He even said well killed?


    No, this is not the main point!


    Personal disciple!


    Emperor Zuo Chen is actually going to take Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple!


    This �� This is too outrageous!


    Emperor Zuo Chen was an Emperor Vast Heaven ancestor.


    He actually personally came forward to take a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven in as a personal disciple?


    This sort of thing was simply even more shocking than the sun rising from the west!


    Are all these Emperor powerhouses mad?


    Ye Yuan became his martial uncle with a sway of his body?


    That was too preposterous!


    Abumpkin from the countryside actually became his little martial uncle!


    Xiao Shan suddenly felt that this world was too crazy.


    He did not know how he left. His entire head was dizzy.


    Zuo Chen, this level of powerhouse, was simply disdainful to explain anything to Xiao Shan.


    If he wanted to do it, he would do it.


    Ming Yi��s strength was up to par, with half a foot stepped into the door of Emperor Realm. That was why he would be treated differently by Dan Fei.


    As for him, Xiao Shan, he was not qualified enough yet.


    Everything that happened today was too fantastical and too unthinkable.


    First was Emperor Dan Fei personally admitting that Ye Yuan was the great commander of the heavenly alchemist division.


    Following that, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s ancestor, Emperor Zuo Chen, was actually going to take Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple!


    Two top emperors actually showed favor to a measly little Saint Exalt Heaven at the same time!


    The position of great commander was already extremely respected to begin with.


    Now, Ye Yuan became Emperor Zuo Chen��s disciple. This was even more terrifying.


    Disregarding other things, just based on seniority, Ye Yuan��s seniority could scare people to death!


    One had to know, in the Extreme Medicine Sect, even if Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouses saw Zuo Chen, they had to call martial uncle respectfully too!


    Zuo Chen��s strength was also an extreme existence among all the Emperor Vast Heavens.


    His status in the Extreme Medicine Sect was very high too.


    God knew how many people wanted to become his disciple but could not.


    Among them even included some Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouses!


    Unsurprisingly, the entire northern front army was stunned again!


    Concerning Emperor Zuo Chen taking Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple, this matter was too sensational.


    In the entire army camp, there were discussions everywhere.


    ��Crazy! It��s really crazy! I even thought that Emperor Zuo Chen was going to fly into a great rage this time and even get into a tussle with Emperor Dan Fei. Who knew that not only did he not, he��s actually going to take Ye Yuan in as his personal disciple!��


    ��What a miraculous play! Great Commander Ye Yuan killed the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple. Not only did the Extreme Medicine Sect��s ancestor not blame him, but also he��s going to take him in as a disciple instead!��


    ��Looks like the Extreme Medicine Sect isn��t all arrogant and domineering people either! The big shots above all have sharp eyes!��


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan is our benefactor. We also feel honored that he can soar to the sky in one leap!��


    Beyond the shock, many people were happy for Ye Yuan.


    The sensational effect of this incident swept away the haze of the defeat previously.


    The love for the house extended to even the crows perching on the roof. Many soldiers�� dislike toward the Extreme Medicine Sect also reduced to the minimum.


    When Emperor Dan Fei heard this news, he could not help being stunned, then immediately could not help laughing as he said, ��Old Punk Zuo Chen is indeed as shrewd as ever! This move of pushing the boat along the current is used really brilliantly to the max!��


    Ming Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��Who could have thought that a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven became the northern front army��s popular figure all of a sudden! When I see this boy, I��ll even have to call martial uncle! How will I still be the commander-in-chief?��


    Dan Fei also laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Interesting! Interesting! Zuo Chen this old thing has never followed a set pattern. It��s what this seat admires the most! However, the move this time really surprised me! But then again, Ye Yuan is indeed a good seedling that��s hard to come across!


    It��s just that pity that �� he��s a divergent cultivator!��


    ��The words carried endless regret.


    How could he not know that Ye Yuan was a good seedling?


    But the fates of divergent cultivators were not up to them!


    Since time immemorial, how many divergent cultivators had there been? Those able to cultivate the Emperor Realm were like the feather of a phoenix and horn of a Qilin; very rare.


    Those who could cultivate to Emperor Vast Heaven could be counted on one��s fingers.


    What did failing to attain it mean?


    Death!


    Dead under Dao tribulation!


    Either succeed or die trying!


    When Ye Yuan himself heard this news, he also had a struck senseless look.


    He had never even seen before Emperor Zuo Chen, and the other party was actually going to take him in as a personal disciple?


    But, after thinking about it, he understood Zuo Chen��s thoughts.


    This move held extraordinary significance!


    Indeed, these big shots operated from a strategically advantageous position. None of them were simple!


    He used a weaker force to deal with a greater force, and the other party took advantage of a favorable trend.


    He was going to become someone else��s disciple?


    Nobody came to ask about his thoughts?


    Maybe he would refuse?


    Alright, actually, Ye Yuan himself was also quite moved.


    No matter what, the Extreme Medicine Sect was the strongest alchemy path sect in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, not one of!


    Being able to become the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple, no one could refuse it.


    Moreover, his master was even an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm grade eight heavenly alchemist!


    With regards to Xiao Shan and the rest, Ye Yuan looked down on them.


    Ye Yuan had high regard of himself, but he was not ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.


    In front of a grade eight heavenly alchemist, he was merely an ant.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan also knew that the likes of Xiao Shan were not the top class in the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    The true elites were all at the southern front.


    The northern front��s war was too sudden. The real elite disciples were unable to be transferred over for a while.


    One had to know, back then, a Pill Alliance��s holy son, Cang Yongning, practically forced him into a desperate situation.


    And he was merely a disciple taught by the Extreme Medicine Sect��s abandoned child, Li Changsheng.


    Looking at a leopard through a tube to see only one spot, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s strength was clear at a glance!


    Therefore, becoming a grade eight heavenly alchemist��s disciple, Ye Yuan was actually not resistant to it.


    The urgent matter on hand was not acknowledging him as a master but to truly resolve the danger of the blood corruption!

 Chapter 2819 - Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Sure enough, the following events went much smoother.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples became incomparably respectful and submissive in front of Ye Yuan.


    No one dared to contradict Ye Yuan anymore.


    The word of Ye Yuan, this great commander, also truly carried the weight of nine tripods.


    Under Ye Yuan��s teaching, Xuanji Nine Leaves and the rest grasped the blood corruption poison very soon and officially started to take over the suppression of the blood corruption poison.


    Although the effects of their treatment were far inferior to Ye Yuan��s, it would barely suffice.


    Ye Yuan treated the most difficult group of people. The remaining risk became much smaller too.


    However, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples also strictly abided by the rule that Ye Yuan set. Without full confidence, they were not to administer acupuncture on the soldiers arbitrarily.


    At present, there was naturally no one who dared to retort anymore.


    Within the great hall, more than ten Emperor Realm powerhouses were all using strange gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��Ye Yuan, are you sure that you want to do this? You have to know, once the blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses really make a move, you��ll definitely die without a doubt!�� Emperor Dan Fei looked at Ye Yuan and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��They won��t make a move! To the blood race, the most pressing matter on hand isn��t to slaughter the human race but to guard the spatial passageway. No matter whether it is Emperor Realm powerhouses or the army below Emperor Realm, their numbers can��t match ours. Under


    this kind of circumstance, the risk of making a move against me is too great! If you all take the opportunity to go sneak attack the spatial passageway, they will lose more than they gain.��


    ��Of course, if they really dare to send people to deal with me, lord emperors can turn the ruse real and go sneak attack the spatial passageway! The blood race has ten Emperor Realm powerhouses at present, even if they send the weakest one to come and deal with us, your odds of winning will most likely


    increase significantly too.��


    Emperor Dan Fei��s gaze was gleaming as he said, ��This way, you��ll face certain death!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said, ��Putting aside that there��s an extremely low chance of such a thing happening, even if it really happened, the other brothers are willing to die for Heaven One. So why won��t I, Ye Yuan, willingly die too?��


    ��These few days, Ye Yuan heard too many heartwarming stories when treating those wounded people.


    Although the Absolute Heaven Barrier barely managed to stop the blood race, everyone understood that the Absolute Heaven Barrier would ultimately be breached one day.


    ��The more it was at this kind of life and death juncture, the more touching stories would emerge.


    Such as a chiliarch called Shen Xiang, his family of close to 100 people all died in service.


    At that time, Shen Xiang was still young, only Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum.


    He watched his father��s generation and forefathers die on the battlefield with his own eyes. The feeling of powerlessness permeated everywhere.


    Heaven One alliance originally planned to let Shen Xiang stay in the rear in order to present the Shen Family��s only bloodline.


    But, after his strength reached Saint Sovereign Heaven, he joined the Heaven One army without hesitation and became a warrior.


    This time, he was inflicted with blood corruption poison too and dying due to heavy injuries. But he did not have any regrets on his face. He proudly said that he killed ten bloodkins.


    One should not look at how it was only a mere ten people. This was an amazing record.


    The blood race was too difficult to kill.


    Another example was the great Hegemon level holy land��s Mirror Moon Sect; they had a peerless heaven��s chosen, Shi Qiuyang, who once appeared before.


    This heaven��s chosen could be said to be invincible in the same rank!


    One had to know, being known as invincible at the same level across the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this plane, how gloriously resplendent he was!


    But then he led a squad of more than 100 people and was in charge of covering a wound unit to evacuate.


    Who knew that they actually walked into the ambush of the blood race!


    ��There were 3000 people in this division of bloodkin. Furthermore, it was an elite team of bloodkin; each of them was extremely powerful.


    Furthermore, there were even True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in the team!


    In order to cover the wound to evacuate, Shi Qiuyang led this squad of a hundred men to fight to the death!


    In the end, this squad of a hundred people, they were all killed


    But Shi Qiuyang fought three great True Sovereign Heavens by himself, killing two of them.


    This division of blood race army suffered casualties of more than half!


    To the Heaven One Alliance, this was practically something impossible to accomplish.


    He fought three great True Sovereign Heavens alone. Did he not have the strength to escape?


    He did not!


    In other words, the significance of his survival was more important than this squad of 100 people and all the wounded.


    ��This was a super genius reputed to have the potential of reaching the Hegemon Realm!


    But he did not!


    One after another, this kind of stories, they were far too many.


    Even if Ye Yuan had experienced too much, he also involuntarily shed tears at times.


    He was an outsider, but he was also a member of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, a member of the human race.


    Under such desperate situations, he needed to contribute.


    Ye Yuan was a peerless heaven��s chosen, but he had never regarded himself as head and shoulders above others.


    Other people could contribute. He could too.


    In reality, he had always done so too.


    At this time, an Emperor Realm powerhouse ridiculed him, ��Brat, do you really think that you��re invincible under the heavens? Let me tell you, the young powerhouses in the blood race are even stronger than the Heaven One Alliance! According to what I know, three among the Saint Sovereign Hundred


    Sons came in their army this time, Yan Meng, Wu Shang, and Yuan Zheng! Just based on the five of you, you��re going to challenge the blood race? Then can we, these Emperor Realms, sleep in peace in the future?��


    This was an Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouse called Wei Liang, but he was from the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    With regards to Zuo Chen taking Ye Yuan in as a disciple, he was very unhappy about it.


    The most important thing was that Zhang Xiu, who was sentenced to death by Ye Yuan, was his grand-disciple.


    Originally, he was prepared to deal with Ye Yuan. Who knew that Zuo Chen actually interfered flagrantly. Helpless, he could only cease all activities.


    Now, he was even more annoyed by Ye Yuan��s arrogant behavior.


    ��Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    Ming Yi explained, ��In the blood race, each realm will have a ranking. Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons is the strongest 100 people in the blood race��s Saint Sovereign Heavens! Each of them is a peerless heaven��s chosen! Their bloodline power is extremely strong and they are virtually invincible at the same


    rank. Compared to our alliance��s top geniuses, they are a level stronger!��


    Of course, this kind of might was established on the foundation that they were able to revive.


    This was also the blood race��s greatest advantage.


    In the same rank, even if the human had equal strength to a bloodkin.


    But one party was not afraid to die. He could even revive after you killed him. How to fight then?


    Of course, this also showed how strong the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� strength was.


    Ye Yuan became clear. Smiling at Wei Liang, he said, ��Firstly, I��m not called brat. According to seniority, you should call me as your junior apprentice brother! Secondly, whatever Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, merely clay chickens and pottery dogs! I��ve really never been afraid of anyone in Saint


    Sovereign Heaven!��


    Wei Liang�� face turned black, Ye Yuan��s words rebutted him until he choked.


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually calling him brother.


    Yet, he could not do anything about it!


    ��Huhu, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! Since that��s the case, don��t blame this seat for not warning you when you die!�� Wei Liang said with a cold laugh.


    Several days later, above the sea, five figures descended from the sky in front of the blood race army.


    Yang Qing brandished a long spear in his hand, riding on Xiao Qing and was incredibly domineering!


    ��Hoi! Blood race��s trash, your Grandpa Yang is here. Why haven��t you come out to die?! Your Father, Yang Qing, is unmatched among Saint Sovereign Heavens! Who has the balls to dare come out and have a fight with your Grandpa Yang?!��


    Yang Qing shouted loudly, that feeling of invincibility was back!

 Chapter 2820 - Crazy Provocation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    The blood race army was silent as death.


    It was not due to fright. It was because they had never seen before such an impressive person!


    To dare come to the blood race army and call them out, no one in the Heaven One Alliance had this courage.


    Most importantly, there were only five people!


    ��Were these few guys crazy?


    ��Isn��t your blood race the so-called strongest across the heavens? Why are each and every one of you like scaredy cats? Come out if you guys have the capability and fight one-on-one with your Grandpa Yang! Grandpa Yang will take on ten of you by myself! No, 50!��


    ��A bunch of weaklings! Your grandaunt is already in front of your door, and you all don��t even have one who dares to answer the challenge? Your blood race keeps calling yourselves powerful every day. In the end, an army of 5000 and two True Sovereign Heavens were actually killed by the five of us until


    we passed through! Weak! Tsk tsk, really too weak to even stand up to a gust of wind!��


    Jingfei was also someone who desired to see the world plunged into chaos. This kind of provocative activity was all too appropriate for her.


    She was not tall, but she nodded her head and planted her hands on her waist, behaving like a senior when talking. Coupled with that disdainful expression, she completely had an appearance that aggravated people to death.


    The battle in the fog was the disgrace of the blood race.


    Many in the blood race army had experienced that battle.


    Being teased by Jingfei at this time, each and every one was unbelievably enraged.


    Coupled with Yang Qing��s appearance that was asking for a beating, each and every one in the blood race army was filled with righteous indignation, taking the initiative to request to fight one after another.


    But, without any order from their superiors, they did not dare to fight arbitrarily too.


    In the blood race camp, indignation was long already overflowing!


    ��Great Commander, let me go and fight. I��ll go kill that boy and avenge the hatred!��


    ��The one talking was Han Guang. Back then, he had his foundation severed by Ye Yuan with one sword. Until now, he had not fully recovered yet and only had the strength of lower Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Jingfei��s words were like one slap after another, slapping him in the face.


    Because that fight, it was the army that he was leading.


    This battle was also his most disgraceful battle.


    Luo Chuan��s expression was very ugly too, but he still shook his head and said, ��They are just five people but dare to come outside of our barracks and call for battle. There must be a ruse! Moreover �� you��re not his match!��


    Han Guang wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into. In his current state, he was really not an opponent who could withstand a single sword from Ye Yuan.


    The moment Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was unleashed, he could most likely forget about surviving this time.


    But, having people block the front door like this, it was really aggrieving!


    Looking at his appearance, Luo Chuan said, ��Just wait. Commander-in-chief definitely has a decision regarding this matter.��


    The blood race army��s commander-in-chief was similarly a half-step True Sovereign Heaven called Bloodspirit.


    But he was currently reporting the situation here to the blood race��s highest commander, Li He.


    The blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses were all guarding in the vicinity of the spatial passageway and did not dare to leave in the slightest.


    ��The army was stationed in the outer-periphery.


    ��This is the Heaven One army��s strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. We can��t fall for it! Send a few True Sovereign Heavens over and directly kill them! Remember, they can kill them, but take care not to be lured deep in by the enemy!�� Li He shook his head and said.


    To them, guarding the passageway was the most crucial thing.


    In order to open up this spatial passageway, the blood race paid a huge price.


    Once the passageway was lost, nobody could bear this consequence.


    The unusual behavior of Ye Yuan and the rest made Li He even more vigilant instead.


    Several powerful auras emerged from the blood race camp.


    Ye Yuan and the others turned around and ran!


    ��The few of them grasped the distance just nicely. It was naturally impossible to deliver themselves to the hands of True Sovereign Heavens.


    ��Oh my, you bunch of cowards, to actually use True Sovereign Heavens to bully Grandpa Yang! After Grandpa Yang breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven, I��ll come and kill you all until you piss your pants!�� Yang Qing scolded with vulgarities as he ran.


    ��Come back!��


    Worried that the few great True Sovereign Heavens would fall into a trap, Bloodspirit called them back in time.


    ��The few True Sovereign Heavens could only return to the camp reluctantly.


    But they had just retumed and Ye Yuan five people came back again.


    ��Blood race��s grandsons, do you all only use cultivation realm to bully people? Your Father is invincible in Saint Sovereign Heaven. You guys can��t even find a Saint Sovereign Heaven? A bunch of trash, don��t talk about whatever the blood race is number one, the blood race is invincible in front of your


    Grandpa Yang in the future! Your Father will beat the shit out of you!��


    Yang Qing shouted at the top of his voice, yelling non-stop. Whatever unpleasant words there were, he would throw them out, being despicable to the extreme.


    Then, once the blood race��s True Sovereign Heavens came, they would immediately run away.


    The moment you left, they came back again.


    Inside the blood race army, it immediately exploded.


    Especially the Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, each and every one of them was filled with righteous indignation, requesting to fight one after another.


    ��Great Commander, we seriously can��t take it anymore! These few guys are bullying my blood race for having no one!��


    ��Commander-in-chief, let me go out and fight! Your Father will definitely beat the shit out of him. See if he still dares to say anything about being invincible in the same rank!��


    ��Yeah, Commander-in-chief! Even if we aren��t their match, it��s also impossible for the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons to lose to them, right? Let us fight!��


    ��Let us fight!��


    In the blood race camp, those who had some strength were practically about to go berserk.


    Even if their strength was lacking, they also proposed to fight.


    The Blood race had always held a crushing stance towards the Heaven One Alliance.


    Even in this northern front battle, they had also just experienced a big victory previously.


    Such a suffocating thing, they were really not used to it.


    After a few times, even Bloodspirit, this commander-in-chief, could not quite suppress it anymore.


    ��Ba Hao, Jin Cheng, the few of you chiliarchs go and challenge them! But be careful. Although these guys have foul mouths, their strength is indeed very strong. It��s rare for them to find a match in the same rank!�� Finally, Bloodspirit still relented.


    In reality, he also reached the limit of his patience.


    As the blood race��s commander-in-chief, there was only him oppressing people and beating them up. When was it other people��s turn to challenge at his doorstep?


    Especially Yang Qing this loudmouth, he really made people have an impulse to tear him to pieces.


    This guy was different from Jingfei. This guy��s cockiness was simply innate.


    Even if he did not talk, he also made people want to beat him up.


    Moreover, this guy��s mouth was simply too wretched.


    Seeing Bloodspirit relent, Ba Hao and the rest of the chiliarchs all revealed looks of wild elation.


    ��Commander-in-chief, rest assured. Which of us aren��t invincible in the same rank? Unless we run into the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, otherwise, we��re not afraid of anyone! These few punks are seeking death!�� Ba Hao said with great joy.


    The few chiliarchs immediately rose into the air and faced Yang Qing five people from a distance.


    The moment Yang Qing saw the few people, he immediately got excited.


    He was loathsome, but he was also a mad man.


    Hearing that the blood race had experts, he was excited to the extreme.


    ��Tsk tsk, the blood race finally has a few who have courage! Which of you are Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons? The rest scram further away, Your Father will really beat the shit out of you guys!�� Yang Qing said cockily.


    The moment Ba Hao and the rest heard those words, they immediately wanted to tear Yang Qing to pieces.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��You wench, you��re not worthy of having the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons take action! The few of us is enough to deal with you!��


    Yang Qing had a disdainful look as he said, ��With just the likes of the few of you? Don��t think that you guys are impressive because you can revive. Your Grandpa Yang is invincible in the same rank. I��ll beat you until you can��t revive!��


    After he was done talking, Yang Qing��s long spear shook, and he charged straight toward Ba Hao!

 Chapter 2821 - Provoking the Hundred Sons!

    Chapter 2821: Provoking the Hundred Sons!


    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Weak! Too weak! Does your blood race only know how to brag? This kind of strength, you also dare to come out and pick a fight with your Grandpa Yang? I said that I��ll beat you until you can��t revive, then I��m beating you until you can��t revive!��


    Above the void, Yang Qing flew up while brandishing a long spear.


    With the power of a single spear hit, Ba Hao inevitably vomited blood.


    Ba Hao, who was similarly half-step True Sovereign Heaven, was not Yang Qing��s match at all.


    Each and every one of the blood race powerhouses�� faces became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Arrogance was not scary. The scary thing was that he was arrogant and you could not even beat him! This was especially true with Yang Qing, this guy whose mouth owed a beating.


    Although Yang Qing was detestable, his strength was really strong.


    Especially after following Ye Yuan and killing the sea race until the sky and earth dimmed, plus the success of overcoming the tribulation, his present strength really crushed those in the same rank.


    Ba Hao��s strength was not weak.


    He was not bragging. He indeed rarely had an opponent in the same rank.


    But compared to the current Yang Qing, he was far too lacking.


    Yang Qing was not idling these few days either. He had fought with the Heaven One Alliance��s powerhouses in succession too.


    Without a single defeat!


    ��Hey, what are the few of you still in a daze for? Your Grandpa Yang said to fight 50 of you by myself, so I��ll fight 50 of you alone! Come at me together, let your Grandpa Yang enjoy it!�� Yang Qing said arrogantly as he suppressed Ba Hao. Those few chiliarchs were virtually going to explode.


    This guy was really too detestable!


    Those who came to guard the spatial passageway could be said to all be elites of the blood race.


    Their combat power was rather formidable.


    But now, they were actually being overwhelmed by someone in the same rank! They felt ashamed!


    ��Freaking hell, this is a race war, not a martial arts competition, who��s playing according to the rules with them! Attack together, tear this guy��s mouth to shreds!��


    ��Since you want to fight one-on-fifty, then we��ll fulfill your wish!��


    ��Foolish human, you guys will find out that provoking the blood race is the biggest mistake of your lives!��


    There were a total of 12 chiliarchs that came out. They were all the same, being half-step True Sovereign Heaven experts!


    With 12 people joining forces, the strength was clear at a glance. Yang Qing was strong, but he was not strong to such an extent yet.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re still looking on with folded arms! Fucker, are you going to scam me to death? They��re already ignoring the rules. You��re still following the rules with them?�� Yang Qing shouted loudly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Didn��t you want to fight one-versus-fifty? It��s just 12 people now. It��s not appropriate for me to make a move!�� ��F*ck you! You��re always scamming me every time! ARGHHH, I don��t want to live anymore!�� Yang Qing cried out strangely. This guy was a living treasure.


    However, his ability to pull aggro was also indeed strong.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would not have brought him here.


    Drawing 12 half-step True Sovereign Heavens at once, this was a big deal!


    Yang Qing, this guy, repeatedly screamed strangely, but he could not be defeated in a short while.


    Ye Yuan��s attention was in the direction of the blood race camp.


    He saw three figures at a glance.


    Even when standing in the army, those three stood out like cranes standing among chickens too.


    The gazes of the blood race powerhouses next to them when looking towards these three people faintly carried fear and admiration.


    This even included some True Sovereign Heavens!


    Ye Yuan virtually determined in an instant that these three people were the three in the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons!


    Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, their bloodline was extremely strong. Entering the Emperor Realm in the future was virtually a sure bet.


    Ye Yuan even heard that the blood race had a long tradition of selecting the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons.


    Most of the present Hegemon Realm powerhouses found their way to distinction by standing out from the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons.


    It could be seen from this how strong the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� strength was!


    Ye Yuan was looking at them. They were looking at Ye Yuan too.


    ��That punk is very strong!�� Yan Meng suddenly said.


    Wu Shang did not agree and said, ��No matter how strong he is, so what? Just a divergent cultivator, an unorthodox path, utterly not worth mentioning!��


    Yuan Zheng smiled and said, ��Don��t look down on this boy. I heard that when Luo Chuan was hunting him down, he called down a seven-nine Dao tribulation! Under the seven-nine Dao tribulation, he actually survived. Most likely, his combat power isn��t beneath the two of you!��


    The moment these words came out, Yan Meng and Wu Shang��s faces turned black. Among the three of them, Yuan Zheng��s ranking was the highest, 88th place. Wu Shang was ranked second, 93rd place.


    Yan Meng was ranked at the bottom, 97th place!


    The rankings of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were attained by killing out of the blood pool. It absolutely could not have any falsehood.


    88th place was stronger than 90th place!


    There was no question about this.


    Therefore, Yuan Zheng indeed had the capital to look down on the two.


    Yan Meng was still ok, but Wu Shang said in a great rage, ��Yuan Zheng, don��t you be rampant! Before long, I��ll definitely take you down!��


    The Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were all lunatics, their combat power being extremely fearsome.


    They were naturally unwilling to be beneath people. Therefore, the rankings of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons would also frequently change.


    In reality, the strength below 100th place should not be underestimated too.


    Yan Meng was ranked 97th. He was not necessarily safe.


    It was also precisely this kind of mechanism that made the combat power of the blood race extremely strong.


    Coupled with their undying bodies, they had no opponents in the same rank at all. Therefore, no matter how strong Ye Yuan was, these three people did not take him seriously too.


    Yuan Zheng was indifferent and said with a smile, ��With just the likes of you? Huhu, after the matter here is settled, I plan to go and challenge Qi Lin!�� The moment these words came out, Wu Shang two people��s faces changed again! Qi Lin was the 85th rank powerhouse.


    If Yuan Zheng succeeded in challenging, then his ranking would improve greatly!


    This guy��s strength had already reached this level?


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly extended a little finger and beckoned at the three people with a playful look.


    The murderous auras on the three people instantly spread out.


    Yuan Zheng said in amusement, ��Interesting, this guy is actually provoking us!��


    As he said, he shook his head slightly, looking as if he was not moved.


    That meaning was very clear: You are not worthy of us to take action yet!


    Indeed, Yuan Zheng did not take Ye Yuan seriously at all.


    What did seven-nine Dao tribulation count for?


    Their combat powers were all no less powerful than True Sovereign Heaven!


    Overcoming a seven-nine Dao tribulation was almost guaranteed.


    Ye Yuan was similarly indifferent. Suddenly, he grinned.


    Rustle!


    Hundreds of divine essence swords instantly spread out, charging right into the battlefield. Puu, puu, puu! His arrival was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.


    These guys who fought to a draw with Yang Qing were obliterated by Ye Yuan in a few exchanges!


    Yes, it was not killed. It was wiped out!


    Of course, everyone did not notice that each time Ye Yuan killed someone, he would use the Dao sword to suppress a drop of blood essence.


    His action was extremely secretive. Even True Sovereign Heavens could forget about discovering it too.


    Meanwhile, Yang Qing was extremely shocked from watching. He cried out, ��You became stronger again!��


    Through the seven-nine Dao tribulation, the baptism for Ye Yuan was huge.


    By borrowing the power of the Dao tribulation, his strength had indeed improved further.


    His Universe Sword Formation became stronger!


    The 12 people died out in less than a hundred breaths.


    And Ye Yuan also collected 12 drops of blood essence.


    His mission for this trip was considered to have been successfully completed.


    All of them were 12 half-step True Sovereign Heavens. Furthermore, they were the blood race��s elites. These blood essences were much more precious than what he had collected before.


    Then Ye Yuan extended his finger again and beckoned at the three people. The provocative intent became seemingly even stronger..

 Chapter 2822 - Bloodline Prowess!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan did not have many words, but that contemptuous attitude was even worse than Yang Qing��s.


    But on the blood race��s side, there was really no one who dared to speak.


    Everyone��s eyes were focused on Yan Meng three people.


    Only the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons could deal with Ye Yuan.


    ��What bullshit Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, the blood race��s trash came up with a ranking and think that they are invincible under the heavens? Come, come, come! Have a fight with your Grandpa Yang if you have the ability! This time, let��s fight one-on-one!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s boundlessly imposing appearance, Yang Qing became unhappy.


    He was originally planning on sweeping the blood race away. In the end, Ye Yuan took the limelight. He was currently irritated in his heart.


    Yuan Zheng revealed a look of amusement and said to Yan Meng, ��Go and play with them?��


    Yan Meng nodded slightly and said, ��This kind of drudgery can only be done by me.��


    Yuan Zheng smiled and said, ��Who asked you to be the weakest? Go and play casually. This kind of trash, they think that they can fight with the hundred sons after killing a few trash. Let them witness what��s called Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons!��


    Yan Meng also smiled slightly, his figure suddenly turning into a blood-colored streak, rushing towards Yang Qing.


    Before he reached, Yang Qing already felt an endless blood energy, locking onto his entire being.


    ��The cheekiness on Yang Qing��s face disappeared into thin air at this time. What replaced it was a serious expression on his face.


    In his eyes, Yan Meng was like an ancient desolate beast. He was stronger than anyone he had ever met!


    He had never encountered such a terrifying opponent in the same rank.


    Yang Qing did not hold anything back, urging Spear Dao rule and destruction rule to the peak.


    This spear was his pinnacle work!


    Yan Meng wielded a blood-colored long sword in his hand and said with a disdainful look, ��Spear technique is pretty good and already attained quintessence. But, compared to the hundred sons, it��s too weak!��


    In virtually a blink of an eye, two powerful forces clashed together!


    Boom!


    Yang Qing��s body was abruptly smashed flying out.


    ��Pttft!��


    Fresh blood spurted wildly from Yang Qing��s mouth. Under one strike, he no longer had the strength to fight anymore.


    Furthermore, a strand of blood energy burrowed into his body just now. He was already inflicted with blood corruption poison.


    Yan Meng looked toward Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Ant-like trash also dare to compete with eagles! Kid, originally, you could have slipped away after making a show of force. But, since I��ve made a move, you can stay behind here! No matter what schemes and intrigues you all have, in front of absolute


    strength, it��s all in vain!��


    In his view, Ye Yuan was laughable.


    Provoking the hundred sons, then one would have to be prepared to bear their fury.


    Defeating Yang Qing in one move, the blood race��s side was completely boiling over with excitement.


    ��How can a lowly race like humans possibly be the blood race��s match?��


    ��Lord Yan Meng is mighty! Let this punk know that our blood race��s heavenly majesty is inviolable!��


    ��Brat, weren��t you very arrogant just now? Try to be arrogant again now!��


    Being suppressed too heavily previously, how could the blood race army be willing to let it go after being given the opportunity at this time?


    They let loose a wave of mocking towards Ye Yuan and Yang Qing.


    Indeed, the combat power that Yan Meng displayed was too strong.


    When Luo Chuan saw this, he could not help laughing loudly as he said, ��This kid clearly knows that there are the hundred sons in the army, and he actually still dares to provoke. He probably doesn��t know that the various races�� heaven��s chosens who died in Yan Meng��s hands had already exceeded what


    fingers can count!��


    Bloodspirit smiled and said, ��Ming Yi, that fool, wants to use a few geniuses to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Now, I��ll make him suffer a double loss! With the hundred sons around, even if this punk wants to run, he can��t escape too!��


    The blood race��s current strategy was to remain unmoving like a mountain.


    No matter what approach you took, I��ll only guard the spatial passageway firmly.


    But huddling up like this also let Ye Yuan they all have space to be unbridled.


    However, the crushing combat power that Yan Meng displayed also broadened everyone��s horizons.


    Yang Qing��s strength was not weak.


    But he completely could not stand up to a single hit in front of Yan Meng.


    And Yan Meng was merely ranked the last among the trio.


    Far away in the void, several figures were hiding.


    Wei Liang, Dan Fei, and the rest were also paying attention to the situation of this battle.


    Ye Yuan willingly risked his life; it was naturally impossible for them to let such an opportunity go.


    Once the blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses took any action, they would immediately seize the opportunity to win the war.


    But very sadly, the blood race��s Emperor Realms were like cowardly turtles, completely unmoved by it.


    At this time, when Wei Liang saw that Yang Qing was defeated in one move and furthermore, sustained serious injuries, he could not help saying with a cold smile, ��Warned them long ago that the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were not to be trifled with, but they didn��t listen! Huhu, now, they seem to be


    enjoying the feeling of getting slapped! But the price is their own lives!��


    The others were all silent, including Dan Fei.


    Indeed, they were very pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    They all knew that Ye Yuan was strong, but the strength and reputation of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were accumulated through experiencing countless fights. It was absolutely not an unearned reputation.


    Each of these people, they were all the embryos of Emperor Realm.


    Furthermore, the one taking action now was merely the weakest Yan Meng.


    Yan Meng looked at Ye Yuan, as if looking at a dead person, and said coolly, ��I know that you cultivate Dao sword and are very powerful, having once killed Han Guang with one sword. If you unleash this sword, you might still have the strength to fight a battle! How about it? Want to give it a shot?��


    He knew that the Dao sword was formidable. He naturally also knew that that was Ye Yuan��s final trump card.


    Once executed, then he would definitely have to die here.


    Looking at Yan Meng who was posturing suavely, Ye Yuan suddenly smiled and said, ��If you only have this bit of strength, then I really wouldn��t need the Dao sword to deal with you! Are you sure that you��re not letting that strongest one come out?��


    Yan Meng had a disdainful look as he said, ��Still want to posture on your deathbed? I haven��t even used my full strength when dealing with that punk, and he was already brought down. Now, I��ll let you witness my true power!��


    Finished talking, Yan Meng��s blood-colored long sword swung, a terrifying blood energy dyed even the horizon red.


    In this region of space, it even seemed a little withered.


    ��Blood-colored Withering!��


    Yan Meng unleashed a sword move. This sword was several times stronger than the one that dealt with Yang Qing just now!


    Everyone exclaimed in surprise.


    No one expected that Yan Meng actually did not use his full strength yet when he was dealing with Yang Qing!


    ��The muscles on Ye Yuan��s body were rapidly withering away.


    This kind of power was unlike the power of rules but was incomparably terrifying.


    And right at this moment, Ye Yuan laughed coldly. The dragon might on his body suddenly rose to the sky!


    ��That power directly pushed that endless blood color out.


    ��Roar!��


    Ye Yuan��s body emitted a faint azure color light.


    Dragon might materialized!


    ��The moment Ye Yuan��s dragon might came out, it directly suppressed that terrifying blood color.


    Everyone��s faces changed again!


    It turned out that what Ye Yuan was strongest in was not the Universe Sword Formation!


    Dragon might surrounded Ye Yuan��s body. He looked at Yan Meng and said coolly, ��Transcending tribulation the last time, my bloodline transformed. I haven��t tested the true power of a battle soul level bloodline yet. Today, I��ll test it out on you! Nine Heavens �� Dragon Transformation Fist!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry, directly throwing a punch out, meeting Yan Meng��s blood-colored long sword.


    Boom!


    ��Two terrifying forces instantly collided together!


    ��Then Yan Meng was directly blown up, turning into a cloud of blood mist!


    The power of a battle soul level bloodline was utterly formidable!

 Chapter 2823 - Defeating Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons Again!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    That cloud of blood mist attempted to re-condense, but Ye Yuan smashed a punch out again.


    Boom!


    The void trembled. The blood mist was directly wiped out.


    However, a drop of blood essence was suppressed by Ye Yuan with the Dao sword and put away.


    Yan Meng, who was still unparalleledly domineering just now, was thoroughly killed by Ye Yuan in one exchange.


    The entire blood race camp was deathly silent.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he said lightly, ��Do the so-called Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons only have this bit of strength? I still have plenty of strength that hasn��t been used yet!��


    Ye Yuan said these words from the bottom of his heart.


    He thought that Yan Meng could receive a few of his punches, but he did not expect that he failed to receive even a single punch.


    Too weak!


    From battle spirit level bloodline to battle soul level bloodline, this was a qualitative leap.


    The power of Ye Yuan��s dragon race battle skill increased by more than ten times!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s bloodline power was simply the jinx of the bloodline power.


    At least, in the same realm, Yan Meng was unable to use the power of blood energy to threaten him at all.


    ��H-How can this be? The Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons didn��t even last one exchange?��


    ��This guy is actually of the battle soul level dragon race bloodline! This is practically impossible in Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��This guy is clearly a human. Why would his dragon race bloodline be so powerful?��


    In the blood race camp, a series of puzzled voices suddenly came over.


    This scene before their eyes had seriously subverted their understanding.


    In their imagination, even if Ye Yuan had some strength, he could at most fight fiercely with Yan Meng for a few dozen rounds before being defeated.


    Who could have thought that Yan Meng did not even manage to last one round!


    The impact that this strong contrast brought to them was too strong.


    Even Bloodspirit, this commander-in-chief, did not come back to his senses for a while too.


    Hiding in the void, the gazes of a group of Emperor Realm powerhouses shot toward Wei Liang very strangely.


    Wei Liang��s old face immediately did not know where to go.


    Emperor Dan Fei was here. He did not even dare to rebut.


    Before his void had faded, Ye Yuan already slew Yan Meng.


    What a resounding slap!


    Ahint of surprise flashed across Emperor Dan Fei��s eyes and he said, ��I didn��t expect this boy to actually be of the battle soul level true spirit bloodline! It looks like he benefited greatly from overcoming the seven-nine Dao tribulation the last time! Dragon race bloodline, even among chaos true spirit


    bloodlines, it��s a paramount existence too! The improvement of bloodline is extremely difficult. I didn��t expect that a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven can actually reach this point! Zuo Chen, you really picked up a treasure!��


    Zuo Chen did not speak when he heard it but sighed softly.


    Everyone understood what he meant. He was sighing about Ye Yuan��s identity as a divergent cultivator.


    No matter how strong he was, his achievements would ultimately be limited.


    Furthermore, the more powerful he was, the heavier the heavenly punishment he would suffer.


    He was a good sapling.


    It was just a shame that he was a divergent cultivator!


    He took Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple. It was more for the sake of redeeming the Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation.


    And Ye Yuan was also borrowing his influence and power to sit firmly in the seat of great commander.


    Everyone was just making use of each other, that was all.


    As for master and disciple feelings, there was no such thing.


    Of course, if Ye Yuan was not a divergent cultivator, Zuo Chen would definitely view Ye Yuan in a different light.


    A genius who could casually kill a Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, he would be an extremely sought-after existence everywhere he went.


    Only that way would it be considered for him to have really picked up a treasure.


    ��If the two of you don��t dare to come out and fight, go back! Don��t say anything about the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons being invincible under the heavens in the future. It��s really shameful!�� Ye Yuan looked at Wu Shang and Yuan Zheng who were far away as he shook his head and said.


    That appearance was too hurtful.


    ��Wu Shang and Yuan Zheng��s faces became black as the bottom of a pot.


    This scene earlier had indeed brought to them a huge shock!


    ��Who could have thought that the powerful Yan Meng was actually so weak to not even be able to withstand a single blow?


    Even someone as strong as Yuan Zheng had no confidence in his heart anymore.


    These two people stood in midair, unable to leave nor stay, awkward to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It��s still that sentence, one-on-one. I��ll challenge the lot of you by myself! If you all feel that you��re not strong enough, there��s no harm adding a few dozen more. This Ye will meet all at the same time!��


    Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa!


    It was as if slapping sounds sounded out in the air.


    Ye Yuan quoted Yang Qing��s words and was unparalleledly domineering.


    He was not cheeky like Yang Qing, but the words he uttered were unparalleledly domineering!


    These words were established on an invincible aura!


    The bluster��s arrogant bluster was beaten down in front of Ye Yuan��s absolute strength until there was not an unscathed spot.


    Now, they had no qualifications to be proud at all anymore!


    Didn��t you see that the two remaining Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons did not even dare to answer?


    Yang Qing clutched his chest and said with a gloomy face, ��F*cking hell, the limelight got snatched by this guy again! He��s so strong, but he actually left me in the lurch just now! This damn guy, I��ll trample him underfoot one day and ravage him back and forth!��


    He discovered to his dismay that the gap between him and Ye Yuan was getting bigger.


    But Yuan Zheng��s pupils constricted, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You don��t need to goad us. I don��t believe that Wu Shang and I, two people, joining hands aren��t your match!��


    Ye Yuan felt some regret in his heart, but he still extended a finger and beckoned at the two.


    ��That appearance was scornful to the extreme.


    ��Yuan Zheng, don��t show off momentary bravery! This boy wants to goad you into making a move! The two of you hurry up and get back to camp, ignore these guys!�� Just as Yuan Zheng was prepared to make a move, Bloodspirit said in a solemn voice.


    ��The moment these words came out, it was equivalent to the blood race yielding!


    As the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, how prideful were Yuan Zheng two people in their hearts?


    It was still fine if Bloodspirit did not say anything, but the moment he said it, they wanted to fight even more.


    ��Humph! Our Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� prestige can��t be blasphemed!��


    Yuan Zheng gave a cold snort and stepped into the sky, directly taking out a large blood-colored bell and covering Ye Yuan with it.


    At the same time, Wu Shang also tuned into a mass of bloodwater, enveloping toward Ye Yuan.


    The moment the large blood-colored bell came out, heaven and earth rumbled, and blood energy rose to the sky.


    Grade two grandmist treasure!


    This power was significantly stronger when compared to Yan Meng!


    The two people were on a completely different level.


    Adding on Wu Shang��s bloodwater that seemed to have come out from the netherworld.


    ��When the blood race powerhouses saw it, their hearts could not help quivering, feeling more hopeful.


    Ye Yuan did not care about this astonishing momentum in the slightest. It was still the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist!


    His Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist had already cultivated to the third level and had boundless power!


    Now, Ye Yuan could blow apart True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses by relying on the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist.


    The power of bloodline was no joke.


    Only to see him throw both fists out, smashing towards the two people respectively.


    Boom!


    The sound given off by the large bell shocked until everyone��s eardrums hurt.


    Yuan Zheng spurted a mouthful of blood mist wildly, his figure flying out backward.


    ��Wu Shang was worse when compared to Yuan Zheng.


    His stream of bloodwater was directly blown up by Ye Yuan��s punch.


    ��Wu Shang revealed his figure, his entire complexion incomparably pale. Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries.


    ��One punch defeated the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons again!


    Yuan Zheng��s expression was ugly to the extreme as he said in a solemn voice, ��His strength likely already approaches the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� top 50 powerhouses! The two of us joining hands are absolutely not a match either!��

 Chapter 2824 - Tastefully Loathsome!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    The large blood-colored bell emitted a series of bell chimes, reverberating throughout the heavens.


    Every time it rang, Yuan Zheng would spurt a mouthful of blood wildly.


    As for Wu Shang, he was unable to get close at all.


    Ye Yuan��s strength could not be cracked at all.


    This scene shocked everyone deeply.


    ��Hahaha �� Blood race��s trash, weren��t you guys very arrogant just now? What��s the matter now? All gone mute? What bullshit Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, in front of us Azure and Ye combo, they can��t withstand a single blow at all! The invincible in the same rank that Your Grandpa Yang was talking


    about earlier is our Azure and Ye combo! When the two of us join hands, we��re unmatched among Saint Sovereign Heavens!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s grand display of invincible might, Yang Qing suddenly became excited again.


    This kind of opportunity to posture and slap faces, he would not let it go.


    Hence, this Azure and Ye combo appeared bafflingly.


    Everyone could not help rolling their eyes.


    But no one could refute it.


    Right now, Yuan Zheng two people were currently being abused madly by Ye Yuan. They did not even have the chance to fight back.


    The hope of the blood race��s powerhouses that had just ignited, it was directly extinguished by Ye Yuan��s immense strength.


    Bloodspirit saw that the situation was not good, and his figure moved, about to charge toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan had been guarding against the blood race this side long ago. Before Bloodspirit could move out, Ye Yuan��s aura suddenly skyrocketed, smashing a punch towards the two.


    Boom!


    The void trembled. Yuan Zheng two people were smashed into pieces by Ye Yuan with one punch before they had time to scream.


    By the time Bloodspirit rushed over, Ye Yuan already brought the two people��s blood essence as well as the large blood-colored bell and made his get-away.


    Looking from far away figures of Ye Yuan and the others, Bloodspirit had immense hatred.


    But he did not dare to chase after.


    The deaths of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, this was absolutely a huge matter in the blood race.


    Yuan Zheng three people dying here was an extremely troublesome thing to him as well.


    It was not that Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons never died before, but they were often killed by the Heaven One Alliance��s powerhouses.


    There were really not many who died at the hands of someone in the same rank.


    Of course, there were those who were defeated. But, directly being obliterated by someone in the same rank, that was a joke.


    It was not that there were none stronger than the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons in the same rank. But wanting to kill them was far too difficult.


    But today, this joke actually happened before their eyes.


    In the blood race camp, people were shocked to the extreme.


    ��Damn it! How could a guy from a remote continent be so powerful?�� Bloodspirit said hatefully.


    ��When Han Guang saw this scene, he started dumbfoundedly and mumbled, ��This brat, in just a few days of not seeing him, how could he have become so strong?��


    He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He kept crying out for revenge, but if he really went out, he probably would not have been able to return.


    As for ordinary bloodkins, they were even more shocked to the core.


    Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, those were all god-like existences in their eyes.


    Now, they were actually slaughtered by someone!


    ��That��s the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, they �� they died just like this?��


    ��That guy is only just middle Saint Sovereign Heaven. He hasn��t even reached upper Saint Sovereign Heaven! After he reaches grand completion Saint Sovereign heaven, that will truly be invincible in the same rank!��


    ��How could such a monster appear in the Heaven One Alliance? This guy will definitely be our blood race��s formidable enemy in the future!��


    The blood race had always had a sense of superiority in front of the Heaven One Alliance.


    But now, their sense of superiority was ruthlessly trampled underfoot by Ye Yuan.


    ��When the advantage of revival no longer existed, the blood race also did not appear as powerful anymore.


    At least, Ye Yuan could disregard the blood race��s advantage of revival.


    ��Hahaha, you bunch of weak chickens, come out and fight again if you have the ability! What bloodline is powerful? What number one race across all the heavens? You guys can really brag! Got beaten by your Grandpa Yang until you don��t even dare to release a fart anymore!��


    ��Don��t you all have 100 sons? Only three came out now. Call those in front out too! My Azure and Ye combo will beat the shit out of them all the same! Why is nobody talking anymore? Your Grandpa Yang is an expert that��s lonely and desolate as snow!��


    ��Also, that guy just now called whatever Bloodspirit, right? Just you wait! After your Grandpa Yang breaks through to True Sovereign Heaven, I��ll beat you into blood dregs!��


    After Bloodspirit returned, Yang Qing rode Xiao Qing out again.


    The blood race��s powerhouses were all angered until they had livid expressions. But, they really could not send anyone out anymore.


    No matter how Yang Qing taunted them, the blood race��s side had no reaction at all.


    ��Let him shout. We��ll just shut the camp! Whoever dares to yell about going out to fight again will immediately be sentenced to death!�� Bloodspirit gave a death order with a cold face.


    Hence, no one dared to call anymore.


    In reality, even if Bloodspirit did not give the order, nobody would dare to call about going out to fight anymore as well.


    Got to be kidding; even the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons died. Send who else out to fight?


    But it was really aggravating!


    Yang Qing��s mouth was really loathsome until it was unbeatable.


    His strength was not considered top-notch, but his taunt skill was really invincible under the heavens.


    He clearly suffered serious injuries, but looking at his smug appearance, how did he look like an injured person?


    The blood race army��s powerhouses were all beyond furious, but there was nothing that they could do.


    How aggrieving!


    In the void, the Heaven One Alliance��s Emperor Realm powerhouses were all stunned.


    These few little fellows actually beat the blood race until they did not dare to go out?


    Although the blood race was apprehensive of them sneak attacking, Ye Yuan they all relied on real ability to make the blood race huddle up at home too.


    Including Dan Fei, they were all extremely shocked.


    Although they knew that Ye Yuan was a divergent cultivator and had powerful strength, being powerful to this extent still exceeded their expectations.


    No wonder this guy dared to come and provoke them. He was really fully prepared.


    ��There��s really no one coming out? Don��t blame your Grandpa Yang for not giving you a chance. If there��s really no one coming out, your Grandpa Yang is leaving,�� Yang Qing said with a look of regret after scolding for half a day.


    This half a day, he did not repeat a single sentence, scolding extremely satisfyingly.


    Scolding people like this and others could not even rebut, how enjoyable!


    ��Alright, go back. They don��t dare to come out anymore,�� Ye Yuan also said with a look of regret.


    Seeing Ye Yuan few people��s departing back views, the blood race powerhouses could finally heave a sigh of relief.


    ��These few gods of plague finally left!��


    ��Yeah, I was scolded by this guy until I was even doubting life!��


    ��say, you guys, are we �� really very weak?��


    At the Northern View City��s camp, Wei Liang slammed his fist heavily and said excitedly, ��Really exhilarating! This seat has experienced hundreds of major and minor battles, but there hasn��t been once that feels as good as this time!��


    The action of blocking the door this time was really incomparably liberating.


    Even they, these Emperor Realm powerhouses, were incomparably excited too.


    The battle with the blood race was too depressing.


    You clearly killed the opponent. In the end, the other party resurrected immediately.


    The next battle, they would similarly deal with you in their strongest state.


    But once you got inflicted with blood corruption poison, it was basically waiting for death.


    Ye Yuan directly killed three Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons in this fight and killed close to half the chiliarchs!


    This was killing absolutely. The other party did not even have the chance to revive!


    Furthermore, the blood race army was blocked in the camp and scolded, and they did not even dare to release a fart.


    Utterly satisfying!


    This kind of victory was really satisfying!


    Although the scale of this battle was not large, it was incomparably liberating!


    An Emperor Realm powerhouse said with a loud laugh, ��Hahahal It��s really great! Ye Yuan��s crushing victory feels really great! Also, Yang Qing that punk is loathsome, but he��s very tastefully loathsome!��


    ��It��s still my first time seeing the blood race like cowards, not daring to even release a fart! Relieving! Too relieving!��


    ��You didn��t see. It��s silent in the blood race camp! Each and every one of those soldiers, they were flushed red but couldn��t vent it! Hahaha, really too great!��


    Each of the Emperor Realm powerhouses felt amazing.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was in incredible danger in this fight.


    How could they know that a few little fellows actually brought such a relieving battle.


    Furthermore, this fight had huge harvests!


    Eliminating 300 Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons and close to half the chiliarchs, this held even greater significance than annihilating an army of 50 thousand.

 Chapter 2825 - Done!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��I, Saint Exalt Azuresky, wielded my long spear and killed the blood race army until their helmet and coat of mail were in utter disarray! Those whatever bullshit Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons couldn��t even last one exchange under my spear, and they were thoroughly obliterated ����


    On a small dirt mound, Yang Qing had a look of exultation, describing his ��heroic valiantness.��


    Around him, many Heaven One powerhouses were surrounding him, listening until they felt an upsurge of emotion.


    Yang Qing��s strength was indeed strong, virtually invincible in the Heaven One Army.


    Therefore, his words sound fantastical, but it was still very convincing.


    Of course, he ��grafted�� all of Ye Yuan��s contributions onto himself.


    ��I, Saint Exalt Azuresky, shouted loudly, who dares to come and fight! That bunch of blood race trash immediately shut themselves in! Sigh, invincibility is really lonely!��


    Yang Qing gave a long sigh, with quite the air of a lonely expert.


    He had been invincible for too long and naturally developed the air of an expert.


    ��When not being detestable, he really had quite the air of a general.


    ��Saint Exalt Azuresky is well-deserving of the name Azuresky, making our human race��s awe-inspiring reputation renown!��


    ��Awesome! Great! Didn��t expect that our Heaven One Alliance will also beat the blood race until they don��t want to step out of the door!��


    ��Saint Exalt Azuresky is mighty!��


    For a time, praises lingered incessantly.


    Yang Qing immersed into this kind of praise, unable to extricate himself.


    This kind of feeling, he had enjoyed it countless times but would never tire of it.


    On the contrary, he gladly endured the hardship.


    After Ye Yuan came back, he went into closed-seclusion and did not exit. These few days, Yang Qing had been boasting himself every day in the army camp.


    True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses naturally would not be bored enough to come and bother him. Hence, these few days, Yang Qing��s reputation became more and more resounding among the bottom-level soldiers.


    This matter was only know by Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    In the beginning, everyone naturally did not believe it.


    But Yang Qing obtained the token of the blood race��s chiliarch. This thing could not be faked.


    ��There were naturally more people who believed in it.


    ��Tch, Yang Qing, can you please have some face? I was wondering why you couldn��t be found these few days. It turns out that you ran here to brag!��


    Right at this time, a discordant voice came over.


    The moment everyone looked, it was Little Dragon Girl Jingfei.


    The moment Yang Qing saw Jingfei, he secretly thought to himself, shit.


    Why did this girl come here?


    ��Those soldiers felt an upsurge of emotion when they listened and had long already believed Yang Qing. The moment they heard her at this time, they became indignant.


    A soldier called her into question, ��Girlie, what the hell do you know! Saint Exalt Azuresky has the token of the blood race��s chiliarch in his hands. This is the symbol of their identity. Without killing the other party, it��s impossible to get it!��


    Jingfei rolled her eyes. This bunch of guys was bluffed by Yang Qing into becoming his hardcore followers!


    She was just about to open her mouth to provide an explanation, but there was a blur before her eyes, and Yang Qing already arrived in front of her.


    ��Huhu, Jingfei girlie, you came to find me to ask for something, right? Let��s go then, find another place to talk about it!��


    Yang Qing covered Jingfei��s mouth and dragged her, and was about to leave.


    Jingfei was not Yang Qing��s match at all. She had her mouth covered and could not speak, but this really could not stump her.


    ��The blood race��s chiliarch did die, and the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons died too. But they were killed by my Big Brother Ye Yuan! This guy is just a nobody waving a flag and shouting for cheers, that��s all!��


    Asmall and exquisite sea conch flew out, the voice immediately spreading throughout the barracks.


    All the soldiers exchanged glances when they heard it.


    ��It was Great Commander Ye Yuan? Isn��t he a heavenly alchemist? Why is his combat strength so strong too?��


    ��This lass is Great Commander Ye Yuan��s younger sister. She naturally fantasizes that her big brother is a hero!��


    ��Oh, so that��s how it is!��


    There was still no one who believed it!


    Jingfei became anxious and immediately shouted through the Emerald Sea Divine Conch, ��Yang Qing, you dare to seize my Big Brother Ye Yuan��s credit. Do you still want to resolve your blood corruption poison or not?��


    ��The moment Yang Qing heard, he immediately jumped up and said excitedly, ��This guy really found a way?��


    Jingfei could finally speak. Looking at him, she said with a sneer, ��Is there anything that my Big Brother Ye Yuan can��t do in this world? He made me come find you to go and test the medicine!��


    Yang Qing said excitedly, ��Then what are we still waiting for? Come on!��


    Finished saying, he ignored the dumbfounded crowd too, disappearing with a flash.


    Jingfei glanced at the soldiers hatefully and said with a look of anger from their failure to live up to expectations: ��You bunch of fools, misled by people with a few words! My Big Brother Ye Yuan is a divergent cultivator, his strength being formidable! Someone like Yang Qing, he can beat him up with one


    hand! Yet, you guys still believed his rubbish! Humph!��


    Finished talking, she left too, leaving behind the dumbfounded looking crowd.


    Yang Qing was poisoned by the blood corruption poison?


    Inflicted with the blood corruption poison, and he could still be as brave as he said?


    It turned out that they were all fooled!


    ��It turns out that the one who did those things was actually Great Commander Ye Yuan!��


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan is really impressive! Just how long had he joined the Heaven One army? He already made three great miraculous achievements!��


    ��This kind of big victory is really a tribute to our Heaven One��s divine might! It��s so amazing!��


    ��Just now, did that lass say that the blood corruption poison can be resolved?��


    suddenly, the entire place became deathly silent!


    The moment Yang Qing entered the room, he was virtually about to suffocate.


    Within the room, there were one powerful aura after another, making him virtually unable to breathe.


    Everyone��s gazes were focused on him.


    It was just that the gazes were somewhat strange.


    Like �� looking at a little white rat.


    ��alright, begin!�� Dan Fei said coolly.


    But, in this calm voice, it exuded strong anticipation.


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and pointed at the board in front of him and said to Yang Qing, ��Lie down!��


    ��A-Ah! Alright!��


    Yang Qing lay on the panel, seeming somewhat cramped.


    This room was too terrifying!


    These guys were definitely all Emperor Realm powerhouses!


    Upon lying down, a bloody aura hit him in the nose.


    A wooden basin was placed in front of Ye Yuan. Water was filled in the wooden basin.


    To be exact, it was blood water!


    Scarlet red, it looked shocking!


    Ye Yuan was long prepared. As soon as Yang Qing lay down, star light shone brightly, and the Xuanji Nine Leaves acupuncture technique started!


    Only to see him reach his hand out in focus, divine essence needles passed through the blood water.


    The divine essence needles were actually dyed red in an instant!


    Following that, the fantasy-like acupuncture technique began!


    ��The acupuncture technique this time was greatly different from when he imparted to the others before.


    These few days, he carried out an in-depth analysis of blood essence.


    The blood essence of Yuan Zheng these people had more reference value!


    The blood essence of the blood race, the stronger they were, the more powerful and the more vigorous it was.


    Previously, Ye Yuan already had a framework for treating the blood corruption poison. This time, with an even better reference, he found the method very quickly.


    The reason why Yang Qing got injured and he did not take action, it was actually to make him be this little white rat.


    It was easier to get started on an acquaintance.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that Yang Qing��s strength was extremely strong. His ability to resist the blood corruption poison was also stronger than the others. He was naturally a very good experiment subject.


    This basin of blood water was actually medicine water refined by Ye Yuan with the blood essence of the blood race assembled with several dozen kinds of grade five heavenly medicines.


    ��This medicine water coupled with his improved Xuanji Nine Leaves, it could completely cure the blood corruption poison!


    Ye Yuan��s technique was dreamlike and mystical. Even a hint of surprise flashed across in Zuo Chen��s eyes.


    He was a grade eight heavenly alchemist. How sharp was his eyesight?


    The virtues and faults of this technique were clear to him at a glance!


    Impressive!


    Sigh!


    Zuo Chen could not hold back and heaved a sigh again in his heart.


    A shame that he was a divergent cultivator!


    This kind of alchemy path genius would definitely be a grade eight, or even a grade nine heavenly alchemist in the future! Truly a shame!


    One divine essence needle after another fired into Yang Qing��s body. Yang Qing emitted muffled groans continuously.


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan��s divine essence needles suddenly stopped, the stellar power dissipating with a loud bang.


    A hint of wild ecstasy flashed across Ye Yuan��s face, and he said, ��It succeeded!��

 Chapter 2826 - Ye Yuan’s Requirements!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    It was not just Ye Yuan. All of the Emperor Realm powerhouses present, their chests heaved unevenly, their faces revealing looks of ecstasy!


    The blood corruption poison in Yang Qing��s body had already completely dissipated into thin air.


    Everyone knew what this meant!


    During these thousands of years, powerhouses that died under the blood corruption poison were too many to count.


    Even around these Emperor Realm powerhouses, there were many people who died from the blood corruption poison too.


    But, even if they had the ability to access the highest heavens, they were powerless to do anything about this too and could only passively watch their loved ones and friends die.


    That feeling of powerlessness drove people insane.


    But now, they finally saw hope!


    Ye Yuan resolving the blood corruption poison absolutely had trans-era significance!


    This signified that they did not need to fear the blood corruption poison anymore!


    This meant that the millions upon millions of Heaven One powerhouses were able to be reborn!


    This also signified that even more powerhouses would be born!


    The significance was far too great!


    ��The Heaven One��s various races had many, many geniuses. They could originally have stepped into the Emperor Realm.


    But, because of the blood corruption poison, they perished.


    Now, with Ye Yuan��s method, those geniuses poisoned by blood corruption poison were able to stand up again.


    ��Too remarkable! Truly too incredible! With this method, what are we still scared of the blood race for!��


    ��Hahaha ��. For thousands of years, the difficult hurdle that numerous heavenly alchemists failed to overcome after advancing and filling the gaps left by fallen comrades was actually overcome!��


    ��Impressive! Impressive! In the engagements with the blood race in the future, there��s no need to be overly cautious anymore either!��


    ��Succeeded! It really succeeded! Hahaha ����


    Wei Liang started laughing agitatedly. As he laughed, his eyes actually became wet.


    ��Wei Yun, if you were still alive, how great would it be! How great ���� Wei Liang choked.


    An exalted Emperor Realm powerhouse actually cried, crying like a child.


    Zuo Chen came to his side. Patting his shoulder, he urged, ��Wei Yun will also be happy in the afterlife!��


    Wei Liang nodded slightly but still could not resist silently shedding tears.


    Ye Yuan knew that Wei Liang��s impression of him was not good, but he did not expect that his reaction was actually so intense.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s puzzlement, Dan Fei explained, ��Wei Liang and Wei Yun, two brothers, were once the Extreme Medicine Sect��s peerless twin prides, the two people��s feelings being extremely deep. Especially Wei Yun, he was reputed to be the genius with the greatest hope of stepping into Hegemon


    Realm! But sadly, back then, when they were still at True Sovereign Heaven, Wei Yun was accidentally poisoned by the blood corruption poison in a great battle, and he fell in the end. This matter is still Wei Liang��s heart knot till this day.��


    Actually, not just Wei Liang, each and every one of the Emperor Realm powerhouses present had somewhat wet eyes.


    The Emperor Realm powerhouses present all came over from being weaklings too.


    Fighting fiercely for several thousand years, who didn��t have a few loved ones and friends die around them?


    Now, they found the way to resolve the blood corruption poison, but their loved ones and friends could not return anymore.


    How could they not feel vicissitudes of emotion?


    ��Ye Yuan, you found the way to resolve the blood corruption poison. There��s no greater merit!�� Dan Fei said with a solemn face.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I found it, but this method can��t be applied in a large scale at all. In order to refine this basin of Blood of Flame Crystal, it already depleted one-third of the blood race blood essence. This basin of Blood of Flame Crystal can at most treat 1000 people��s blood corruption


    poison. Even if the effects of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� blood essence is stronger, it can at most treat 5000 people. After that, it will become useless. The blood race��s blood essence is too difficult to obtain.��


    Presently, the biggest issue was still the blood race��s blood essence.


    This Blood of Flame Crystal was Ye Yuan��s own invention. The most important ingredient added to enhance it was the blood essence of the blood race.


    This time, although he obtained some quality blood essence, it was still too little and not enough to use at all.


    And the blood race would not give him this kind of opportunity anymore.


    This was also to say that the next time someone got poisoned, he would have no way of curing.


    At present, there was only half a month left before the three-month deadline.


    The blood race side was still increasing its troops. The number of troops at present already surpassed 25 thousand people.


    While on the human��s side, there was only around 40 thousand people left.


    These 40 thousand people were already the limit that the Heaven One Alliance was able to transfer over.


    After the spatial passageway was exposed, over at the Absolute Heaven Barrier there, the blood race launched an incomparably fierce offensive.


    It was for the sake of not letting the southern front transfer troops over.


    If the Absolute Heaven Barrier was breached, whether or not the spatial passageway was broken would not hold much meaning anymore too.


    Therefore, the northern front��s war affairs currently has at most only left with one last battle!


    Either succeed or die trying!


    ��The last great battle, nearly ten thousand people died. Among them, a very large portion was poisoned by blood corruption poison. Currently, in the army, there are merely four to five thousand people poisoned by blood corruption poison. Just nice, we can carry out the final great battle. Putting aside


    how significant the Blood of Flame Crystal was, even for this battle, you��ve rendered a great achievement too! You��ve merely entered the alliance for just over a month but already made four miraculous contributions. Speak, what rewards do you need?�� Dan Fei said.


    Talking up to here, Dan Fei also had to sigh with admiration.


    Ina short one month plus, Ye Yuan first breached the blood race��s defensive front, triggering heavenly punishment to send the information. Then he created arrows that reversed the war. Then, he killed the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons as well as many chiliarchs. Lastly, you even created the Blood of


    Flame Crystal.


    These four great achievements, any one of them was a virtually impossible to accomplish mission. Calling it four great miraculous achievements was not overboard too.


    Yet, these four great miraculous achievements happened on Ye Yuan alone.


    Dan Fei had fought for many years and made countless achievements.


    But, compared to Ye Yuan��s four great miraculous achievements, it still paled greatly in comparison.


    And Ye Yuan merely completed these in slightly over one month!


    He had to admit that if there wasn��t Ye Yuan, the Heaven One Alliance would probably find it hard to hold on this time too.


    The entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would probably fall into enemy hands!


    This kind of achievement was not what a measly little great commander position was sufficient to be a reward.


    But, to use what to reward, Dan Fei really could not think of it.


    Therefore, he simply asked Ye Yuan himself.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I want to enter the Extreme Medicine Sect and browse all of the sect��s alchemy classics!��


    Dan Fei was taken aback and said, ��Just this?��


    He thought that Ye Yuan would demand an exorbitant price, but he did not expect that he actually only had this request.


    Of course, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s alchemy records were not what everyone could peruse.


    Want to enter it and read extensively, one must have sufficient status.


    But this was all too easy for Heaven One Alliance.


    Furthermore, compared to the miraculous achievements that Ye Yuan had made, it was utterly not worth mentioning.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head seriously and said, ��Just this! Of course, I also won��t let the Extreme Medicine Sect suffer a loss. I have quite a few alchemy classics in my hands too. I��ll make copies and retum it to the Extreme Medicine Sect.��


    This sentence made everyone stare dumbfoundedly with their mouths agape.


    The big shots present were all not fools. Ye Yuan could take out a heaven-defying acupuncture technique like the Xuanji Nine Leaves. How could he not have had any fortuitous encounters?


    But this kind of lucky chance belonged to those who obtained it. Other people could not pry into it.


    Who could have thought that Ye Yuan was actually so generous to take it out as a payment to the Extreme Medicine Sect!

 Chapter 2827 - Let Me Try!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Hahaha �� ��m cured! There isn��t any blood corruption poison in my body at all!��


    ��Leven thought that I was dead for sure. I didn��t expect that I actually didn��t die!��


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan is mighty! Great Commander Ye Yuan is incredible!��


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan rendered amazing merit. He��s really our Heaven One��s great hero!��


    Following one blood corruption poison victim after another being cured, the entire Heaven One camp was boiling over with excitement.


    Previously, even if the blood corruption poison was being suppressed, the camp had never been this crazy before too.


    All of the Heaven One soldiers seemed to be having a carnival.


    No one thought that the blood corruption poison could actually really be cured one day!


    This was just like a terminal illness being completely cured.


    That feeling of despair to a new lease on life was sufficient to make people excited until they went mad.


    Hence, Ye Yuan��s prestige in the army reached the peak in an instant.


    Those soldiers who were cured practically regarded Ye Yuan as a god.


    The difficult hurdle that could not be overcome for thousands of years was overcome by Ye Yuan!


    The terminal illness that no one had ever cured was cured by him!


    Zhao Chen hugged Qiao Yiping and said agitatedly, ��Good brother, we can fight side by side again in the future! This time, we have to join forces properly and kill until the blood race is trembling in their boots!��


    Qiao Yiping nodded agitatedly and said, ��Boss, rest assured. We��ve mustered up enough strength this time. We��ll definitely teach the blood race bastards an unforgettable lesson!��


    ��It��s all thanks to Great Commander Ye! Without him, there��s no need for us to fight this war anymore too,�� Zhao Chen said.


    ��Great Commander Ye is truly divine! Something that the Extreme Medicine Sect didn��t accomplish for thousands of years, he did it! Remarkable! Truly remarkable!��


    Mentioning Ye Yuan, Qiao Yiping and the brothers around him were all incomparably respectful.


    This kind of respect came from the bottom of the heart.


    One time, twice, thrice, four times!


    Ye Yuan used one miracle after another and conquered everyone!


    Using half a month��s time, Ye Yuan led Xiao Shan and the rest and completely cured over 4,000 soldiers in the army who were inflicted with blood corruption poison.


    At this time, there was already less than a month left from the spatial passageway completely stabilizing.


    Furthermore, the blood race was still continuously sending large forces through the spatial passageway.


    Awar brooked no delay!


    After experiencing the initial-most excitement, clouds of sorrow started shrouding the upper echelons.


    ��Can��t drag on anymore! The southern front has already sent news that the war is very tough, and the casualties extremely heavy! Just a while ago, Hegemon Windthunder was injured by the Hegemon Shie of the blood race, his injuries very severe. The southern front there transferred another ten


    thousand people over. This is already the limit!�� Dan Fei said in a solemn expression.


    Hearing this, the expressions of the Emperor Realm powerhouses present changed one after another.


    Even Hegemon level powerhouses were seriously injured. The tragic plight of the southern front war could be seen.


    These ten thousand people were even squeezed out through the crevices between their teeth.


    After all, once the northern front was lost, the Absolute Heaven Barrier would also lose its meaning of existence.


    ��During this period of time, the blood race had three more Emperor Realm powerhouses come over through the spatial passageway. The war this time will probably be even harder!�� Zuo Chen similarly said with a worried look.


    ��No matter how difficult, we have to fight too! Even if our northern front army fights until the last soldier, we have to destroy the spatial passageway too! Otherwise, the consequences are unthinkable!�� Dan Fei said decisively.


    He understood that this fight would be even more miserable than that previous battle!


    Because tin his fight, both sides had no way out anymore.


    Especially the Heaven One Alliance.


    Therefore, even if it was Dan Fei, this commander-in-chief, he was also prepared to die in battle.


    Zuo Chen nodded his head and said, ��Fight! Naturally have to fight. Nobody is afraid of dying. But right now, the most crucial problem is how can we destroy the spatial passageway? According to the last encounter, we can��t get close to the spatial passageway at all. This time, the hope is even more bleak.��


    The moment these words came out, even Dan Fei fell silent too.


    In the last great battle, 15 people fought ten of the blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses, but they still did not take the upper-hand.


    Now, the other side added three more. It was naturally even more impossible.


    They could not even come into contact with the spatial passageway, let alone talk about destroying it.


    ��Ming Yi, 50 thousand troops versus 30 thousand troops, how confident are you?�� Dan Fei suddenly looked toward Ming Yi and asked.


    He was the highest commander of the Saint Sovereign army and naturally had the qualifications to take part in this conference too.


    Apart from him, there were also six great commanders, including Ye Yuan.


    Although the Saint Sovereign army were cannon fodders, if the army��s side won, and the Emperor Realm powerhouses there held out, they could destroy the spatial passageway too.


    Ming Yi��s expression was somewhat awkward as he said, ��Honestly speaking, not even 30%! These 30 thousand troops are all elites among elites, their combat power extremely strong! Although we resolved the blood corruption poison, it��s still very difficult to kill them! This 30% confidence is still


    because Ye Yuan killed Yuan Zheng three people and close to half of the chiliarchs. Otherwise, we don��t even have 10% confidence.��


    As he said, he looked toward Ye Yuan, full of gratitude.


    Ye Yuan killing Yuan Zheng three people and those chiliarchs was not just venting frustration so simple. It was also of great strategic importance.


    These people��s combat power naturally went without saying. And they also played a sea-stabilizing needle effect in the Saint Sovereign Heaven army.


    Ye Yuan killing them was equivalent to destroying the blood race��s war banner. It was of great significance!


    The reason why the battle previously suffered heavy losses was because of the eruption of the blood corruption poison on the one hand.


    On the other hand, it was because the blood race��s combat power was extremely strong!


    In front of Ye Yuan and Yang Qing, these people were naturally too weak to stand up to competition.


    But, to ordinary soldiers, the combat power of the blood race was strong.


    And on the Heaven One Alliance��s side, the majority were transferred over temporarily. They were much worse in terms of combat power.


    However, because of Ye Yuan, the entire army��s cohesiveness reached the peak currently.


    Hearing Ming Yi��s words, Dan Fei��s expression became a little uglier.


    Could it be that there was really no hope at all?


    Everyone fell silent.


    ��Why don��t �� I give it a try?�� Suddenly, a voice broke the death-like silence.


    ��When all the Emperor Realm powerhouses heard that, they looked over one after another.


    The one speaking was precisely Ye Yuan.


    ��You? This kind of great battle, what function can you alone play?�� Dan Fei shook his head and said.


    He knew that Ye Yuan had extremely strong combat power, but a great battle of several tens of thousands of Saint Sovereign heavens, if they really fought, even a grand completion True Sovereign Heaven would be bombarded into residue too.


    What use did a mere Ye Yuan have?


    ��Ye Yuan, Master knows that you have good intentions. However, miracles can��t happen over and over again. The great battle this time, you don��t take part in it! At present, only you can seize the blood race��s blood essence, and set it aside for use later. Saving more companions is the right thing to do.�� Zuo


    Chen said.


    Ye Yuan was a treasure. He could not die.


    At that time, once he got targeted by a True Sovereign Heaven, that would be very dangerous.


    The refinement method of the Blood of Flame Crystal, as well as the new acupuncture technique, Ye Yuan had already imparted them to Xiao Shan and the rest.


    But, without Ye Yuan, they were unable to suppress the blood race��s blood essence. They were naturally unable to refine the Blood of Flame Crystal.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m saying, I have a way to destroy the spatial passageway. But the prerequisite is that I can reach the spatial passageway there! Therefore, I need everyone to help me hold off the blood race��s powerhouses!��

 Chapter 2828 - Decisive Battle Begins, Heaven One’s Desperate Situation!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    More than a dozen figures were currently moving swiftly through the air.


    The great battle was at an explosive point!


    ��These dozen over figures were naturally the 15 Emperor Realm powerhouses from Heaven One.


    ��I say, we pinned all of the hope on a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven. Isn��t it taking things a little too trivially?�� Lu Feng said.


    Lu Feng was the Heaven One army��s number three figure, his status second only to Dan Fei and Zuo Chen.


    ��although Ye Yuan joined the alliance not long ago, he rendered amazing merit and created too many impossible miracles! This current situation, apart from gambling, we have no other choice either!��


    ��Huhu, Wei Liang, didn��t you turn your nose up at Ye Yuan before? Why are you speaking up for him now?�� Dan Fei scoffed.


    Wei Liang��s old face turned red, and he said, ��Either way, I feel that this boy is confident!��


    Lu Feng snorted coldly and said, ��How can a mere middle Saint Sovereign Heaven possibly destroy the spatial passageway? Want to destroy the spatial passageway? It has to at least gather the full power attacks of 5000 Saint Sovereign Heavens before it might be achieved!��


    Dan Fei nodded and said, ��Over at Ye Yuan there, it��s just a solution borne out of desperation. This seat doesn��t harbor much hope. The Saint Sovereign Heaven army has no hope in the first place as well. The most important thing is still our side! At that time, I��ll tie down two Emperor Vast Heavens and


    create a chance for you all. Once there��s a chance, you guys immediately get out of the battlefield and go destroy the spatial passageway!��


    Hearing this, everyone fell silent.


    They knew that Dan Fei was planning to exchange for a glimmer of opportunity with death!


    suddenly, figures flashed, and more than ten figures blocked the way.


    Dan Fei��s expression turned dark and he said in a cold voice, ��Li He, this battle, there��s no rest until we��re dead!��


    The one in the front was precisely the blood race��s leader, Li He!


    ��Dan Fei, you and I are also considered old acquaintances already. Can we still not know each other? With our strength, we can at most just perish together. But, after you die, this seat won��t die!�� Li He said with a relaxed smile.


    There were only so many Emperor Realm powerhouses. Dan Fei and Li He were old enemies too, knowing each other through and through.


    If an ordinary Emperor Realm powerhouse was threatened like this, then they would definitely have some fear.


    But this kind of threat was not considered a threat to the blood race at all.


    It was because they could not kill the opponent!


    ��Humph! Whether or not you��ll die, we��ll only know after fighting!�� Dan Fei gave a cold yell and was about to attack.


    But Li He was not in a hurry and said smilingly, ��No rush, no rush, Dan Fei. Your opponent isn��t just this seat alone! This time, this seat even found you an opponent!��


    While speaking, there was a vibration in the void. Another elegant figure stepped out of the void.


    Seeing the arrival, Dan Fei��s pupils constricted, and he sucked in a breath of cold air and said, ��Lotuswear!��


    Awoman was dressed in blood-colored long robes, giving people a cold but breathtaking feeling.


    She looked at Dan Fei, using a talking-down tone as she said coolly, ��Dan Fei, this seat has come over, so you absolutely have no chance to destroy the spatial passageway. Give up on this! Withdraw now, and this seat can still leave you with your life!��


    Dan Fei��s expression was extremely ugly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Dream on! Even if I die, this seat also won��t let your blood race succeed!��


    Lotuswear was indifferent and said coolly, ��Forgot to tell you, but Lord May has already entered the passageway. He will arrive in at most a day!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of all of the Heaven One powerhouses changed wildly!


    May was one of the blood race��s Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, the top 100 ranks were called Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons.


    While Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm similarly had a ranking, it was Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens!


    Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens, they were the strongest ten people in Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm!


    These ten people were major figures whose reputation could truly shake the heavens, their strength formidable to the extreme.


    May was ranked tenth!


    He was a famous butcher, his strength being incredible. The Heaven One powerhouses that died in his hands were too many to count!


    May entering the spatial passageway indicated that the spatial passageway was already very stable.


    ��The blood race sending him over, it was to play the role of stabilizing the world.


    If he really came over, then this battle had no suspense anymore!


    ��If you feel that you can take the passageway away from this seat��s hands within a day, then you can very well come and give it a shot,�� Lotuswear still said coolly.


    But Dan Fei was already burning with anxiety in his heart!


    ��There was absolutely no hope for him regarding this.


    Lotuswear��s strength, he was clear about it. She was even 30% stronger than Li He!


    These two great heavyweights joining forces, their side here had absolutely no hope.


    ��Then there was only counting on the Saint Sovereign Heaven army that side?


    But, with the current stability of the passageway, 5000 people might not be able to take it down too!


    Even if they could take it down, could they get through?


    Could it be that heaven truly wanted my Heaven One Continent to perish?


    Awave of despair could not help rising in Dan Fei��s heart!


    Suddenly, a figure flashed across his mind.


    Ye Yuan!


    He said that he could destroy the spatial passageway. Could he really do it?


    No, it was impossible!


    A measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, it was simply impossible to destroy such a stable spatial passageway!


    But this boy had created miracles time and again.


    Maybe this time, he could do it too?


    No idea why, a tiny hint of hope sparked in Dan Fei��s heart.


    He hoped that this boy could really create a miracle!


    Suddenly, his gaze turned cold, and he shouted fiercely, ��Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy! For the sake of Heaven One��s glory, there��s no regret in dying!��


    ��No regret in dying!��


    All the Emperor Realm powerhouses called out in unison, charging towards the blood race!


    ��Hahaha �� You bunch of blood race trash! Your Grandpa Yang said before, after breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven, I��ll definitely kill you all until you cry for your daddy and mummy! Weak! Too weak!��


    Above the void, it was a melee.


    ��The Heaven One army and the blood race army fought in close quarters. The killing was extremely tragic.


    In this battle, both sides had to conquer or die. There was no path of retreat at all. Each soldier was fighting for their life!


    Yang Qing��s long spear was imbued with a soaring resolve, killing the blood race��s three great True Sovereign Heaven until they steadily lost ground.


    Hence, he started showing off again.


    The last time, after Ye Yuan administered treatment for him, Yang Qing had blessings come to him in the disguise of misfortune and finally broke through the final layer of windowpane paper, breaking through to the True Sovereign Heaven Realm.


    After reaching True Sovereign Heaven, Yang Qing��s combat power soared and could directly deal with middle True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses.


    Now, he was fighting three great peak lower True Sovereign Heavens by himself. He overwhelmed his opponents until they could not catch their breath.


    Just as he was being pleased with himself, a dragon roar cut across the firmament, smashing towards one of the True Sovereign Heaven.


    Boom!


    That lower True Sovereign Heaven was directly smashed into a cloud of blood mist!


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan is mighty and domineering!��


    ��Great Commander Ye Yuan��s combat power is unparalleled, dominating the world!��


    Kill, Kill, kill! The blood race is merely a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs, KILL!��


    After a punch, a series of frenzied cheering came over. The Heaven One army��s morale rose to the peak at once.


    Currently, Ye Yuan had already become the spiritual pillar of the Heaven One army.


    His every movement and action affected the morale of the soldiers.


    This punch earlier, Ye Yuan killed a True Sovereign Heaven as a Saint Sovereign Heaven. How imposing and domineering was that?


    Hence, the momentum soared!


    ��ARHH! Ye Yuan, you snatched Sovereign Azuresky��s limelight again! This sovereign won��t let you off!�� Yang Qing cried out strangely.


    Ye Yuan��s punch was indeed domineering just now. But, being able to kill a True Sovereign Heaven with one punch was because Yang Qing strained most of the opponent��s energy.


    It was just that those soldiers did not care about these at all.


    The person was killed by Ye Yuan. They acknowledged Ye Yuan.


    Yang Qing was originally being pleased with his posturing but was overshadowed by Ye Yuan all at once. He could not help being depressed to the extreme..

 Chapter 2829 - Rest Assured, Brothers!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��All True Sovereign Heaven commanders, kill that boy at all costs!��


    Bloodspirit had clearly realized the danger of Ye Yuan too. At the first instant Ye Yuan exploded, he gave the order to kill Ye Yuan.


    But a large number of True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses crowded around Ye Yuan.


    Those commanders, great commanders, as well as Ming Yi, this commander-in-chief, had seemingly given up comman4, gathering around Ye Yuan one after another.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, this exalt will return this life to you! Hope that you don��t disappoint this exalt!��


    ��Song Miao, are you crazy?��


    ��Huhu, this life of mine is no longer mine a long time ago! As long as it can stop your blood race, what does a wretched life count for!��


    Song Miao directly broke away from the battlefield and fought together with a blood race True Sovereign Heaven of similar strength.


    The two people fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open, seeing flesh and blood.


    At this time, Song Miao did not hold back in the slightest bit. It was completely a fighting style that risked his life.


    Not just Song Miao, Ming Yi had long already clashed with the blood race��s commander-in-chief, Bloodspirit.


    ��Two great half-step Emperor Realm powerhouses fought until the sky darkened and the earth dimmed.


    Bloodspirit wanted to break through Ming Yi and kill Ye Yuan, this ��scourge,�� but was forcibly sealed in place by Ye Yuan with a life-risking fighting style. He had no time to spare for other things at all.


    The blood race did not fear death, but it did not mean that they allowed others to kill them freely.


    ��A powerhouse like Ming Yi, as long as given the opportunity, he would completely obliterate Bloodspirit.


    Bloodspirit��s strength was a notch above Ming Yi��s.


    But Ming Yi did not care about getting injured at all and cared even less about getting poisoned with the blood corruption poison. He completely had a fighting style that showed no regard for his life.


    Bloodspirit was incomparably shocked in his heart. Were these guys all mad?


    Cultivation reaching the quasi-Emperor Realm, how difficult was that?


    These guys actually had no qualms about dying!


    Ina blink, Ming Yi��s body was riddled with scars.


    Meanwhile, Bloodspirit was almost blown apart by him several times.


    ��Old Zhang, I��ll lock this guy down. You don��t have to care about me. Just directly blow the two of us up!��


    ��An upper Saint Sovereign Heaven Heaven One powerhouse used all of his strength and locked down a blood race upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, making him unable to move.


    Old Zhang had tears in his eyes, but he slammed a punch out without the slightest hesitation.


    The bloodkin plus the Heaven One Saint Sovereign Heaven immediately turned into nothingness.


    This kind of killing was playing out everywhere.


    The battlefield was like a meat grinder.


    Powerful Saint Sovereign Heavens were simply too weak to stand up to competition under this meat grinder.


    The Heaven One powerhouses did not care about death at all.


    Even if it was death, they had to inflict serious wounds on the bloodkins too.


    Although the blood race army were all elite powerhouses, they could not bear the madness of the Heaven One army too.


    ��The numbers of the Heaven One army could be seen reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    However, they did not care at all!


    Especially the army around Ye Yuan, when one of them died, they would be replaced by another.


    They were like one sharp knife after another, stabbing viciously into the blood race army, tearing open a gap in the blood race army very quickly.


    Boom!


    A True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse was directly wiped out by the blood race!


    The muscles on Ye Yuan��s face twitched, but his hands did not slow down, taking out a blood race Saint Sovereign Heaven with one punch each.


    As long as he did not encounter True Sovereign Heavens, he was simply like a tiger entering a flock of sheep in the blood race army, mowing down all resistance.


    However, the True Sovereign Heavens around him were reducing one by one.


    Ye Yuan could not help but sigh in his heart. What capability did he have to actually be able to make these people entrusted him with life and death!


    For the sake of his one sentence, the Heaven One warriors used their lives to carve out a bloody path!


    Yes, such frenzied killing was for the sake of killing out an opening in the blood race army, to let him charge over.


    Ming Yi, Song Miao, Zhao Chen, Qiao Yiping, and even Xiao Shan and Dao Chen, they were all defending by his side.


    All the 50 thousand troops disregarded their lives, just for the sake of paving a way for him!


    Ye Yuan��s heart was dripping blood!


    ��Hahaha �� Great Commander Ye, Qiao Yiping��s life was given by you. I��ll return it to you now! Great Commander Ye, you must destroy the spatial passageway and show our Heaven One��s might!��


    Qiao Yiping was long already wounded and on the verge of dying. Currently, divine essence bloomed on his body, his small world collapsing with a loud bang, directly blowing the bloodkin opposite him into fragments.


    That bloodkin still wanted to re-condense, but he was killed by Zhao Chen with one punch and completely wiped out.


    That Qiao Yiping, who was saved by Ye Yuan, really died this time!


    Zhao Chen had tears in his eyes, but his gaze was incomparably firm.


    Clearly, he was long already used to this kind of life and death.


    On the battlefield, they were not whatever Saint Exalt powerhouses at all, just cannon fodders.


    If the death of cannon fodders could have some meaning, that was pretty good too!


    They were not unable to face life and death. It was just that they were not willing to die incompetently on the sickbed.


    Ye Yuan clenched his jaws tightly and said in a solemn voice, ��Good brother, Ye Yuan won��t let you down!��


    Over there, Bloodspirit had also come to realize it!


    His expression changed, and he shouted loudly, ��Ignore the others! Everyone, stop Ye Yuan at all costs!��


    Under his word of command, there were suddenly countless more blood race powerhouses around Ye Yuan.


    It was just that he did not care.


    Those True Sovereign Heavens were all held back!


    As long as True Sovereign Heavens did not disturb him, he would be able to rush over!


    Ye Yuan��s aura skyrocketed, one fist force after another firing out, akin to claps of thunder!


    The blood race��s Saint Sovereign Heavens died in waves.


    With how strong the blood race was, those soldiers had never had such painful experiences before too.


    For a moment, they were actually cowed by Ye Yuan!


    ��Who��s coming to seek their doom!��


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly, his figure suddenly rushing forward, akin to a demon god!


    The blood race soldiers ahead actually opened up a path involuntarily and let Ye Yuan rush over.


    ��When Bloodspirit saw this scene, he could not help stomping his feet angrily and said in alarm and fury, ��Are you all pigs? Kill him! Kill him!��


    Although he also knew that even if Ye Yuan rushed over, it was impossible to cause any damage to the spatial passageway too. But the apprehension toward Ye Yuan in his heart still left him uneasy.


    But, even if he was uneasy, there was nothing that he could do as well.


    It was because the blood race army was already afraid of Ye Yuan!


    These few years, the blood race��s battles had always been overwhelming. They had never experienced such a bitter fight before.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s strength already made them fearful.


    On the contrary, the Heaven One army��s side had an unstoppable momentum and was not afraid of death, and actually suppressed the blood race for some time.


    One should pick soft persimmons to knead. Those blood race Saint Sovereign Heavens were also clear in their hearts that even if Ye Yuan went over, it was useless too.


    In that case, let him go over then!


    As long as the others did not go over, it was impossible for Ye Yuan alone to destroy the spatial passageway.


    Ye Yuan punched out again, directly wiping out the three blood race Saint Sovereign Heavens in front of him that did not want their lives!


    ��There was already no one in front!


    The blood race army was killed until he passed through!


    He finally came out!


    Ming Yi discovered this scene too. Disregarding the injuries on his body, he said in wild ecstasy, ��Ye Yuan, hurry up and go! Leave this side to us!��


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s entrusted to you! Even if I drain my last drop of blood, this Song won��t let them advance a single step too!�� Song Miao said with his entire body covered in blood.


    Ye Yuan nodded seriously and said in a solemn voice, ��Everyone, rest assured. This Ye definitely won��t let the brothers�� blood to flow in vain!��


    Finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared in front of everyone..

 Chapter 2830 - It’s So-so!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Tech!��


    Lotuswear cried out delicately, a red light flashing on her dainty finger.


    A terrifying force directly exploded in the air. Dan Fei, who was her opponent, was directly blown away.


    Dan Fei vomited blood from his mouth. There was not an unblemished spot on his body from head to toe.


    Facing a powerhouse like Lotuswear, he unleashed all of his abilities and was unable to gain any upper hand too.


    ��This seat knows your plan. You��re very hardworking, but just based on your strength, you can��t tie this seat down!�� Lotuswear looked at Dan Fei, her words carrying a faint mockery.


    She naturally knew about Dan Fei��s plans. It was just that since she came, there was no more hope for the Heaven One Alliance.


    Dan Fei already used his final ultimate move, but he was still not Lotuswear��s match.


    Li He was freed up. Zuo Chen and Lu Feng joined hands before they barely managed to resist him.


    As for the rest, that went even more without saying.


    The Heaven One Alliance��s Emperor Realm powerhouses had all fallen into a crisis.


    In less than a moment after Dan Fei dies, Lotuswear would be free, and it would be even more hopeless for the others.


    Dan Fei had a decisive look, and he said coolly, ��It��s only death!��


    Finished saying, he ignored the injuries on his body and broke through in the direction of the spatial passageway again.


    His goal was not to kill Lotuswear. It was just to destroy the spatial passageway.


    Unfortunately, he was unable to get past Lotuswear.


    Suddenly, his figure stopped. Lotuswear also frowned slightly and said, ��Mn? There��s a fish that escaped the net? Bloodspirit, this fellow, is really a good-for-nothing!��


    Dan Fei��s heart stirred, knowing that it was Ye Yuan who rushed over!


    Emperor Realm powerhouses could sense heaven and earth. Their divine sense covered an extremely vast radius.


    The moment Ye Yuan came over, they discovered it.


    Dan Fei roused himself, undoubtedly seeing hope amidst despair.


    Seeing Dan Fei��s appearance, Lotuswear said disdainfully, ��Are you thinking too much? A measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, even if he reaches the spatial passageway there, what can he do? Moreover, this seat has already sensed that Lord May is already not far from the entrance of the passageway!��


    Dan Fei��s brows furrowed slightly. This was not good news!


    ��Once May arrived, even if Ye Yuan had the ability to access the highest heavens, there was only death too!


    Seeing the change in Dan Fei��s expression, Lotuswear said with a light smile, ��Looks like you still harbored some hope in this little fellow. Forget it. This seat will end him and completely cut off your hope!��


    Dan Fei��s expression changed wildly, but it was already too late!


    Lotuswear attacked right away. She just flicked her fingers. A shocking force tore across the sky and flew straight for Ye Yuan.


    Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses, even if it was just a casual strike, obliterating a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven did not take any effort at all too.


    Dan Fei did not hesitate in the slightest, throwing a palm out fiercely. A similarly terrifying force flew out swiftly, wanting to intercept Lotuswear��s force.


    Lotuswear did not stop it either, smilingly slightly. She said, ��It��s no use. A measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven is no different from a mosquito. Even if you intercept it, the aftershock is sufficient to kill him several times over too!��


    Boom!


    Her voice had yet to fade when a loud boom came over from the horizon.


    ��The terrifying energy undulation was seemingly like fireworks, exploding until all the spiritual energy in the sky was shaking incessantly.


    ��Lotuswear, you!��


    Dan Fei was furious to the extreme. The hope that he just saw was throttled just like this!


    He understood that no matter how heaven-defying the Saint Sovereign Heaven, it was also impossible to survive under this kind of aftershock.


    ��Hehe, alittle interesting. You��re very furious. It looks like you really cared about that Saint Sovereign Heaven little fellow. Now, do you feel very despaired?�� Lotuswear had a rare laugh as she said.


    Seeing her opponent��s despair gave her a great sense of accomplishment.


    Not just Dan Fei, the other Heaven One Emperor Realms�� faces all had looks of despair.


    It looked like this little fellow was indeed somewhat different from the rest.


    However, there was already no point.


    Suddenly, Lotuswear��s expression changed, and she cried out in surprise, ��Mn? Not dead? How is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan��s aura that had just disappeared actually reappeared after it disappeared!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s aura was already very close to the spatial passageway.


    Such swift speed!


    Ahint of wild elation appeared on Dan Fei��s face.


    ��Terrific lad, you��re great!��


    Reaching the Emperor Realm, Dan Fei no longer had joy nor sorrow a long time ago.


    But at this time, he really wished to clap his hands in joy!


    He looked at the surprised expression on Lotuswear��s face and felt great!


    Previously, he did not take Ye Yuan��s plan seriously at all.


    But now, Ye Yuan was already his, the Heaven One Alliance��s last hope!


    Lotuswear gave a cold snort, her figure moving and about to rush toward Ye Yuan. But, how could Dan Fei be willing to comply?


    His figure moved, stopping Lotuswear.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, the two people fought together once more!


    Far away, Ye Yuan looked across the sky with lingering fear in his heart too.


    ��That wave of energy undulation just now was too terrifying. Luckily, he utilized spatial rule in advance to escape by cunning maneuvering, escaping this calamity.


    For Ye Yuan to dare pat his chest and say that he could destroy the spatial passageway, he was naturally not boating.


    In reality, there were really not many in the 33 Heavens who could match up to Mi Tian in terms of spatial attainments.


    Mi Tian was born from chaos. The moment he was born, he was Hegemon Realm!


    At his prime, he had once cultivated spatial rule to the realm of grand completion, soaring to the sky and tunneling underground. He was capable of doing anything!


    Destroying the spatial passageway was as difficult as ascending to heaven to others. But to him, it was as easy as turning his hand over.


    He imparted Ye Yuan a few spatial secret arts. It was to be used to destroy the spatial passageway.


    ��These few spatial secret arts were extremely profound. It was equivalent to analyzing spatial rule in-depth.


    If the average person learned it, it would be hard to achieve results without hundreds of years of hard work.


    However, Ye Yuan was similarly amazingly talented in the path of space. So learning it yielded twice the results with half the effort.


    This move earlier was called transfiguring teleportation. He could directly open up a spatial passageway within a certain radius, achieving the effect of instantaneous shifting.


    Ye Yuan studied and applied it with full vigor, avoiding Lotuswear��s blow nimbly.


    In front of him was an enormous spatial door, perched above the sea.


    Ye Yuan had long sensed its existence. It was just that when he arrived before it, he was still shocked by it.


    Clearly, the person who opened up the spatial passageway had extremely terrifying strength!


    Ye Yuan��s transfiguring teleportation only opened up a spatial passageway within a short distance. But, this person opened up a large-scale spatial passageway from outside of the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    When comparing the two, it was simply like an apprentice meeting a great sorcerer!


    However, although the other party had exceedingly formidable abilities, the application of spatial rule was similar.


    Just like how machine computations were extremely complicated, but in the end, it was merely ones and zeros.


    As long as he knew that computational rules, he could always analyze them.


    Of course, speaking of it was easy, but it was still too difficult for Ye Yuan.


    But this was not an issue. Ye Yuan did not understand, but Mi Tian this hegemon understood it!


    ��How is it, Senior?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    ��It��s so-so!��


    Mi Tian said disdainfully, ��This blood race Hegemon Realm��s understanding of spatial rule is also just the degree of superficial knowledge. If it was me, your Heaven One won��t have any chance to turn the tables at all!��


    ��These words sounded arrogant, but Ye Yuan knew that Mi Tian was not bragging.


    ��The spatial rule that he explained to Ye Yuan, that really cut with penetrating criticism. Even Ye Yuan also lamented at his inadequacy!


    Since he said that it was so-so, then it was really so-so!

    ��The situation at Emperor Dan Fei there doesn��t seem too good,�� Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to damage the passageway, his gaze looking toward Dan Fei there instead.


    The battle over there was too fierce. He could feel it clearly here too.


    Not just Dan Fei alone, the other people��s situation was not very good too.


    Ye Yuan even sensed that Heaven One��s side already had an Emperor Realm that died!


    ��Even if he damages the passageway, the Heaven One��s Emperor Realms are still not the blood race��s match! Under this kind of circumstances currently, the southern front can��t dispatch powerhouses over at all. The destructive power of these blood race Emperor Realms is too strong. If they slaughtered


    willfully at the northern front, the consequences would be too ghastly to imagine,�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    ��You brat, what do you want to do?�� Mi Tian said with a headache.


    ��I say, Senior, once space collapses, can it bury these blood race Emperor Realms alive?�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Mi Tian covered his face with his hand, feeling his head swell bigger.


    However, he still said, ��The blood race has powerful life force. They might not die. But to be seriously injured is a certainty.��


    After a moment of silence, Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright, let��s do it!��


    Mi Tian said, ��They might not die, but your hope of survival isn��t high.��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Don��t kid me! With your elderly self around, how could I die?��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan immediately turned into a stream of flowing light and tunneled into the spatial passageway.


    Amoment later!


    Rumble


    The spatial passageway emitted waves of intense tremors.


    Over at the blood race side, the expressions of Lotuswear and the rest changed drastically!


    ��Not good! That Saint Sovereign Heaven brat actually really damaged the spatial passageway! Li He, end the fight swiftly, don��t drag on anymore!�� Lotuswear said in a cold voice.


    Li He there was fighting one-on-two, but he firmly took the upper hand too.


    Originally, he was not in a hurry to defeat Zuo Chen two people because that would cost a considerable price.


    But at this time, he could not care much anymore.


    ��Got it!��


    It was only to see blood light shine brilliantly on his body, directly giving up defending and unfolding a frenzied killing.


    Zuo Chen two people were forced back by Li He until they steadily lost ground, vomiting fresh blood wildly.


    While on Dan Fei��s side, Lotuswear suffered several heavy blows too, and directly crippled him.


    Then, she flew towards the spatial passageway.


    Dan Fei felt helpless in his heart. He was only left with half a life at this time and could not even move a muscle. He was unable to go save Ye Yuan at all.


    On the other side, explosion sounds rumbled without ceasing.


    Li He was blown up by Zuo Chen with one punch, but he also gave Lu Feng a fatal blow!


    Lu Feng died right away without even screaming out.


    Zuo Chen also suffered heavy injuries, and he lost the power to fight again.


    Li He recondensed his physical body. Ignoring the injured Zuo Chen, he pounced over towards the spatial passageway too.


    The rumbling noises from the spatial passageway became more and more intense and already faintly showed signs of instability.


    Fortunately, the spatial passageway itself was already close to being stable. Ye Yuan��s destruction seemed to find it difficult to succeed for a while.


    Lotuswear two people��s figures were like lightning, tunneling into the spatial passageway at once.


    Dan Fei smiled bitterly and said, ��We��re too useless! At this time, it��s when Ye Yuan needs help the help, but we �� can��t help him at all!��


    Zuo Chen also sighed and said, ��Could it be that it��s going to fall short of success at the last stage just like this?��


    ��Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and recover your injuries! Even if we wage our lives, we have to complete the mission too!�� Dan Fei said in a solemn voice.


    The two people each swallowed a grade eight heavenly pill and recovered their wounds.


    It was just that they were injured too badly. It was hard to recover for some time.


    Damn it! How can a mere Saint Sovereign Heaven destroy a Hegemon Realm��s spatial passageway?�� Looking at the spatial passageway that was riddled full of holes, Lotuswear was incredibly furious.


    Li He also had a solemn expression as he said, ��Even if he��s proficient in spatial rule, it��s impossible to do this too! There��s something strange about this kid!��


    Lotuswear said in sullen anger, ��Enough crap, hurry up and find this boy and kill him! Otherwise, the consequences of letting him continue destroying like this would be too ghastly to imagine! Mn? There!��


    In the passageway ahead, a figure was faintly discernible. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    ��When Lotuswear saw Ye Yuan, she was overjoyed.


    ��As long as she saw him, wouldn��t her killing a Saint Sovereign Heaven be easily accomplished?


    ��Punk, where are you running!��


    Lotuswear��s clothes fluttered, pursuing Ye Yuan like lightning.


    ��Old hag, with just the likes of your middling ability, you also want to kill your Grandpa Ye?�� From ahead came Ye Yuan��s cold laughter.


    Mn?


    ��Why was it Grandpa Ye?


    Got led astray by Yang Qing that fellow!


    However, in this spatial passageway, it was really not easy for Lotuswear to want to catch up to Ye Yuan.


    Lotuswear gave a cold snort and suddenly pointed a finger out.


    A terrifying power instantly exploded around Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    The spatial passageway shook and actually became even more unstable.


    Li He shouted fiercely, ��Lotuswear, are you mad? This guy failed to destroy the spatial passageway. Could it be that you want to destroy it?��


    Lotuswear��s expression was very ugly too.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so slippery. That attack just now, even if it was a peak True Sovereign Heaven, they would be directly erased too, but it failed to kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was like a fish in water in this spatial passageway, killing him really took a lot of effort.


    ��Old hag, you just have this bit of ability? What bullshit Emperor Vast Heaven! It��s nothing more than this!�� Ye Yuan still laughed coldly as he said.


    Lotuswear��s expression turned cold, and she said in a solemn voice, ��Punk, don��t you get cocky! There��s Lord May currently hurrying over ahead, this seat wants to see when you can escape until!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��What rubbish Lord May! If he comes, Grandpa Ye will round you all up in one fell swoop! You bloodkins, each and every one of you, you are outwardly strong and inwardly weak, being simply a bunch of weaklings. I also don��t know what you��re showing off about!��


    Lotuswear said with a cold smile, ��Boy, you can only indulge in a contention of mouth and tongue!��


    But Li He��s expression was ugly as he said in a solemn voice, ��He��s really not indulging in a contention of mouth and tongue! Yuan Zheng the three of them couldn��t even receive a move from him!��


    ��When Lotuswear heard that, her expression could not help changing, immediately being choked badly.


    This kid was actually so strong?


    Suddenly, Lotuswear sensed a powerful aura ahead that was currently speeding over swiftly.


    Lotuswear was overjoyed and said loudly, ��Lord May, this boy is currently damaging the spatial passageway, please take action and stop this boy!��


    ��Rest assured, leave it to this seat!�� A coarse voice came from the gloomy depths of the passageway.


    ��There was a wolf ahead and tigers behind, Ye Yuan seemed to have no way out anymore!


    Very soon, a blood energy that made people suffocate hit the nose from in front.


    Ye Yuan virtually could not stand firm when he was hit by this blood energy.


    Too strong!


    Suddenly, his figure stopped, and he simply stopped running.


    Lotuswear two people stopped ten thousand feet away from Ye Yuan and said smugly, ��Boy, continue running! See if this seat doesn��t tear your mouth!��


    ��That powerful aura in the depths of the passageway arrived with a howl.


    Ye Yuan looked at Lotuswear and suddenly smiled.


    This smile made Lotuswear��s heart go ��thump.��


    ��Old hag, you��re thinking too much! I can easily destroy this spatial passageway! But do you know why I��m not destroying it? Did you think that I was joking with you earlier? Actually, I want to round you all up in one fell swoop!��


    Ye Yuan gave a light laugh and suddenly threw a punch somewhere in space.


    Rumble!


    The entire spatial passageway started shaking violently.


    The entire space started collapsing!

 Chapter 2832 - : Great Victory!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��ARGH!��


    Asharp and miserable scream echoed through the spatial passageway.


    Within the spatial passageway, it was like dominoes. A chain reaction happened, and it collapsed with a loud bang!


    And the energy of the space collapse went from the ��one�� in the beginning, to the level of atomic fission later on.


    This level of collapse, the energy undulation was already comparable to the all-out attack of a peak Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse!


    Such strength, even May, this Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens powerhouse, did not dare to brush it off lightly too.


    Boom!


    Due to the intense explosion, half of Lotuswear��s body was directly blown away.


    Li He��s entire person was blasted into a cloud of blood mist.


    However, their fearsome regeneration ability restored them to health again.


    Except, it was still futile.


    That horrifying to the extreme explosion was omnipresent!


    Revive once, explode once!


    Revive once, explode once!


    Until the back, Li He was already unable to revive and completely obliterated by the energy of the spatial collapse.


    This blood race northem front army��s highest commander was buried alive by Ye Yuan just like that.


    ��Little Bastard, Your Mother will definitely kill you!�� Lotuswear screamed sharply.


    Her current situation was also unbelievably tragic.


    The violent spatial collapse bombarded her until she was powerless to fight back.


    ��As for the May who was opposite, he had a struck senseless look.


    Who am I?


    Where am I?


    What did I come for?


    He came in a threatening manner and only saw a Saint Sovereign Heaven, then he was blown up.


    He had monstrous strength. He could still resist the initial collapse.


    But toward the back, the energy undulations of the collapse became stronger and stronger, and even he was blown up too.


    ��Shit, who can tell me what happened? AHH!��


    Before May finished speaking, his head was blown apart.


    But very soon, he grew another head.


    However, it was similarly futile.


    Emperor Sakra Heaven and Hegemon Realm seemed to only have the difference of one realm, but the gap in-between was like heaven and earth.


    Amidst this vast energy undulations, peak Emperor Sakra Heavens were just small rowboats too.


    ��Time and again, May finally could not revive his body anymore and was completely wiped out!


    One of the Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens, May, lost his life at Ye Yuan��s hands!


    A little earlier, Dan Fei and Zuo Chen two people consumed heavenly pills, and their injuries took a turn for the better very quickly.


    The two people did not care much and were going to enter the passageway.


    However, just as they arrived at the spatial passageway, horrifying explosion sounds suddenly came from inside the passageway.


    Dan Fei two people��s expressions changed. Before they had time to react, they were immediately sent flying by an air billow.


    Furthermore, the explosion noises in the passageway grew stronger and stronger!


    The two people exchanged a glance, their eyes full of shock.


    ��This �� Was this Ye Yuan��s doing?�� Zuo Chen swallowed his saliva and asked.


    ��$-Should be, right?�� Dan Fei said uncertainly.


    ��Then how did he do it?��


    ��N-No idea!��


    ��This energy undulation that spread out can even blast us flying. Then the energy level in the passageway has probably already reached Emperor Sakra Heaven, right?��


    ��Most likely �� more than that! This spatial passageway collapsed from the inside! The energy level in the depths of the spatial passageway can probably kill Emperor Sakra Heavens easily! Even if the person who came is May, it��s likely certain death too!��


    As Dan Fei said, he himself also felt that it was incredulous.


    According to this level of energy undulation, the people who entered �� should have already all died out!


    Was this �� really done by a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Dan Fei two people felt like they had experienced a dream.


    They had not woken up from this dream until now.


    It was because everything that happened before their eyes was seriously too fantastical.


    Zuo Chen swallowed his saliva again and asked, ��Does that mean that �� our mission is completed?��


    ��Completed? Huhu, more than completed! It��s perfect! Li He is dead! Lotuswear is dead! May �� is dead too! Our mission was impeccable and flawless!��


    Talking until the back, Dan Fei started trembling agitatedly.


    It was originally impossible for this sort of thing to happen to a Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse.


    Each Emperor Realm powerhouse was very important.


    Even in the blood race, Emperor Realm powerhouses could not just die like that too.


    The deaths of May three people did not just concern this battle presently. It would also produce a subtle impact on the battle situation on the southem front too!


    This was an impeccable victory!


    Zuo Chen also understood, but he was still unable to fully believe it.


    ��That moment when Lotuswear appeared, he already despaired!


    Lotuswear��s strength was too strong. Her appearance completely squelched the hopes of the Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    As for the Saint Sovereign Heaven army there, they actually did not harbor much hope.


    ��With 50 thousand troops versus 30 thousand troops, wanting ten thousand people to rush over, this was virtually something impossible.


    However, in this kind of desperate situation, an insignificant Saint Sovereign Heaven completed the final hit!


    Perhaps Ye Yuan was not an ordinary Saint Sovereign Heaven, but in front of this kind of great battle, he was still insignificant.


    However, this insignificant Saint Sovereign Heaven completed an act that shocked the world!


    This kind of conclusion, it was not over the top to call it a miracle!


    ��Then �� Ye Yuan he ���� Zuo Chen muttered.


    Dan Fei��s expression changed, the wild elation from before instantly vanishing.


    Right!


    Even May died inside, could Ye Yuan still survive?


    ��The energy undulations inside could kill Emperor Realm powerhouses. Furthermore, it was continuous without ceasing.


    It was impossible for Ye Yuan, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, to survive.


    Logically speaking, a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven exchanging for such a glorious victory was an amazing bargain.


    But, no idea why, Dan Fei could not get happy.


    He even felt that with Ye Yuan dying inside, this battle was no different from a defeat.


    Perhaps �� it was because he created too many miracles!


    ��Cough �� cough, cough ����


    Right at this time, a series of intense coughing sounded out behind them.


    The two people suddenly turned around, only to see someone who was riddled full of holes standing there.


    ��Ye Yuan! You didn��t die!��


    ��The two people exchanged a glance, their eyes full of unrelenting shock.


    This guy actually came out alive!


    Holy shit, energy undulations that could even blow an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse to death, he actually came out alive?


    ��You guys �� wanted me dead so much? Cough, cough, cough ���� Ye Yuan said huffily.


    ��Hahaha �� No! Nope! My good disciple! My good disciple!��


    Zuo Chen was agitated until he was rambling, rushing up to hug Ye Yuan and planting a kiss on his face that was covered in blood.


    Sadly, Ye Yuan did not have the strength to fight back at all, being badly disgusted by him.


    ��Hey, do you have some weird fetish or something? S-Stay further away from me!�� Ye Yuan pushed Zuo Chen away and said in disgust.


    This scene looked comical, but it was very warm.


    Dan Fei, who was by the side, also had an agitated look as he said, ��Terrific lad! You��re amazing! The boast that you made is actually really realized! In this battle, our Heaven One gained a complete victory! There are probably quite a lot of people on the blood race side who are going to puke blood! Hahaha


    Talking until the back, Dan Fei could not resist letting out a loud laugh.


    This satisfactory victory really gave people great satisfaction!

 Chapter 2833 - Shocking Absolute Heaven!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Outside of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, on the distant Thundercry Continent, an army of several hundred thousand blood race members was awaiting eagerly for battle already, blood energy surging to the sky!


    ��The Emperor Realm powerhouses present reached as many as several hundred!


    A figure stood proudly in the void, covering the sky with only one hand!


    The spatial passageway was slowly taking shape in precisely his hand.


    This person was the blood race��s Hegemon Realm powerhouse, Bloodsky!


    Beside Bloodsky, a youth in a blue shirt said with a smile, ��Brother Bloodsky really has excellent means! The stabilizing of this spatial passageway is brought forward half a month earlier than expected!��


    Bloodsky said proudly, ��That��s of course! This seat��s spatial divine abilities can traverse the void like walking on flat ground! If not for that Heaven One Continent has dozens of Hegemon Realms joining forces, this seat only needs half a day to open up this spatial channel!��


    Opening such a spatial passageway was really not easy.


    Not only did one have to avoid the Absolute Heaven Barrier, it even had to be able to accommodate Hegemon Realms and countless blood race troops.


    Without corresponding attainments in spatial rule, it was absolutely impossible to succeed.


    Bloodsky, this blood race hegemon, had always been wandering the heavens and only came to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven recently.


    Failing to conquer Heaven One for a long time, a restless mood also spread in the blood race.


    Therefore, Bloodsky��s arrival immediately made him sought after like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon!


    Of course, Hegemon Realm powerhouses proficient in spatial divine abilities were worthy of it!


    There were many hegemons across the heavens, but those who were experts in spatial rule were scanty few.


    Bloodsky was definitely worthy of being a major power!


    The youth in the blue shirt gave a thumbs up and said, ��Amazing, Brother Bloodsky!��


    Bloodsky��s mouth curled, and he said, ��A trivial matter! There are at most still three days, and then the passageway will be able to completely stabilize. The army will be able to march right in without resistance! Qing Yao, the hegemon blood that the clan promised this seat, you mustn��t go back on your


    words!��


    Qing Yao hurriedly said, ��Brother Bloodsky is worrying too much! You��re our blood race��s spatial major power right now. How could the clan possibly go back on our word?��


    Bloodsky snorted coldly and said, ��I reckon that you all won��t dare either!��


    But right at this moment, Bloodsky��s expression suddenly changed.


    ��petite!��


    Bloodsky seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, his entire person shooting backward, fresh blood spurting wildly from his mouth.


    Rumble!


    Before Qing Yao had time to think too much, he heard intense explosion sounds coming from the spatial passageway.


    His expression changed wildly, and he roared loudly, ��Retreat!��


    It was only to see him flick his sleeves grandly. A gust of strong wind blew past. Tens of thousands of troops were directly sent flying out.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The spatial passageway directly exploded above the void, sweeping up terrifying air billows.


    Of course, this air billow could not harm him. But his expression was incomparably ugly.


    It was because the spatial passageway had completely collapsed!


    In order to open up the spatial passageway, the blood race expended a huge amount of resources!


    Now, it was actually all for naught?


    ��Brother Bloodsky, what��s going on?�� Qing Yao said in a solemn voice.


    Bloodsky suffered a backlash, sustaining considerable injuries too. He said in a solemn voice, ��The spatial passageway was damaged by someone from inside! The other party is at least Hegemon Realm! This spatial passageway is completely ruined!��


    Qing Yao��s expression changed, and he said, ��How is that possible? Heaven One��s Hegemon Realms are currently all at the Absolute Heaven Barrier!��


    Bloodsky shook his head and said, ��It��s definitely a Hegemon Realm! Furthermore, the other party has extremely profound attainments in spatial rule! Otherwise, it��s impossible for the spatial rule that I constructed to completely collapse!��


    The collapse of the spatial passageway and the spatial passageway being damaged, they were two completely different things!


    This kind of caving style collapse could only be accomplished if one��s comprehension in spatial rule reached an extremely terrifying level!


    If it was not a Hegemon Realm, Bloodsky would not believe it even if he was beaten to death too!


    With regards to Bloodsky��s words, Qing Yao naturally would not doubt it.


    He was proud, but it was impossible to lie about this kind of thing too.


    ��Could it be that Heaven One Continent has a new Hegemon Realm that appeared? No can do! This matter is extraordinary, I��ll go report to Lord Wang Zuo!�� Qing Yao had a solemn look as he turned around and left.


    Absolute Heaven Barrier, it extended for no idea how many tens of thousands of miles.


    This place was Heaven One Continent��s final barrier and also Heaven One Continent��s last hope.


    At this time, it appeared somewhat quiet in the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    ��Divine Lord is heavyhearted today. Could it be that you��re worried about the war on the northern front?�� In the Absolute Heaven Barrier, a voice suddenly came over.


    Heaven One Alliance, the highest commander was revered as the common lord and addressed respectfully as Divine Lord.


    Heaven One��s Divine Lord was Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s number one Hegemon Realm, Xue Ziming.


    After a long time, a male voice that was full of energy said, ��This seat has heard of Bloodsky��s name before. His spatial divine abilities are transcendent, catching up to Hegemon Mi Tian of back then. This time, if not for a little fellow taking the risk of death to deliver the message, our Grand Brightjade


    Complete Heaven would be finished! But even so, this seat doesn��t harbor any hope for this last battle too. Everyone, be mentally prepared! Sigh, this seat has let the northern front��s warriors down!��


    Inside the Absolute Heaven Barrier, it fell into silence for a moment.


    These Hegemon Realms were all clear about the northern front��s war situation.


    But they were unable to change anything.


    ��These few days, the southern front experienced several great battles. Hegemon Realm powerhouses fought many times, and both sides had losses.


    As for ordinary soldiers, the casualties were beyond count.


    They could not leave!


    Ahegemon powerhouse spoke up, ��Divine Lord doesn��t need to blame yourself. Dan Fei they all have a fair idea about this in their hearts. Our Heaven One��s men don��t have any who clings to life and fears death!��


    Divine Lord let out a sigh and said, ��This seat can sense that the northern front��s war has already died down. Most likely �� it has already ended!��


    He did not continue saying the words at the back, but the others all understood that the northern front had most likely fallen completely already!


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier��s Hegemon Realms fell silent again.


    A Hegemon Realm suddenly sighed and said, ��Sigh, the northern front being captured, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is in imminent danger! In the future, we can only take it one step at a time!��


    ��Reporting!��


    Suddenly, a voice sounded out, reverberating throughout the entire Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Divine Lord��s heart went thump. He knew that the northern front��s outcome came!


    Even if he was Hegemon Realm, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s number one person, he was also flustered at this time.


    After all, the outcome of the northern front was too important!


    Although he knew that there was not any hope, he still hoped that he could hear a not-so-bad news.


    ��Feihong, what��s the situation �� over at Dan Fei there?�� Divine Lord said in a solemn voice.


    Zang Feihong, the number one person beneath Hegemon!


    Heaven One Alliance, Hegemon Realms held down the fort at the Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    And below the highest commander was Zang Feihong!


    ��When Zang Feihong heard the northern front��s war report, he came to the Absolute Heaven Barrier straight away and informed the various great Hegemons through the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Hearing Divine Lord ask, Zhang Feihong forcefully suppressed the surging in his heart, and said loudly, ��Replying Divine Lord, Your Excellency, the northern front��s Dan Fei won a great victory. The spatial passageway completely collapsed. The northern front no longer has any more worries! Killed May,


    one of the Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens. Killed an Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse, Lotuswearl. We completely wiped out the blood race��s northern front army! The dozen over Emperor Realm powerhouses that entered Heaven One through the spatial passageway and 30 thousand troops are completely


    annihilated! Our Heaven One Alliance is mighty!��


    Zang Feihong, this Emperor Sakra Heaven��s number one person, was currently excited until his arms and legs were waving around. It was as if a child who got praised by an adult.


    But the Absolute Heaven Barrier fell into a death-like silence.


    Without a doubt, the Hegemons were all shocked by this news!


    This news was too shocking, shocking until it could not be surpassed!


    ��Feihong, this kind of thing can��t be joked around!�� Divine Lord��s voice was practically trembling��

 Chapter 2834 - Terrifyingly High Seniority!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    This sort of thing naturally could not be joked about.


    ��Therefore, when Zang Feihong finished giving the detailed war report, these Hegemon Realms felt that happiness came so suddenly.


    Indeed, the northern front��s battle was too low-level.


    But, in terms of importance, it was not at all inferior to the southern front!


    Furthermore, the northern front��s battle was extremely dangerous. Even if they could win, that would be a pyrrhic victory too.


    However, he did not expect that the northern front actually obtained a great victory that was utterly satisfying!


    An elegant voice said agitatedly, ��This lad is stellar!��


    A female Hegemon said boorishly, ��You stinking scholar, what are you being refined for? Ye Yuan is amazing! Too amazing��!��


    ��A remarkable feat without rival! A big reward! There must be a big reward! Send this seat��s hegemon order. Ye Yuan��s contributions are unparalleled, saving Heaven One from extreme misery, overcoming the raging tides! He��ll be placed under Extreme Light Pavilion and become this seat��s personal


    disciple!�� An aged and hoary voice came over.


    The woman before said in a cold voice, ��Humph! Old Fogey Cloudmount, you really calculated well! The matter previously, we haven��t settled scores with you yet!��


    In Absolute Heaven Barrier, a series of dry coughing came over. That old voice appeared slightly embarrassed as he said, ��Cough, cough, men all make mistakes; horses all stumble! Although this seat��s Alchemy Dao is unparalleled, a clever wife can��t cook a meal without any rice! Ye Yuan is originally my


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple. Now, he became this seat��s disciple. It��s also considered making amendments, right?��


    ��Bullsh*t! Don��t think that Your Mother doesn��t know. Your Extreme Medicine Sect has all become unbelievably cocky because you all came up with this suppression method. Ye Yuan urged you all, and you all didn��t listen either, resulting in the great defeat! Now, what��s the use of belated action?�� But the


    female Hegemon was unrelenting after gaining the momentum.


    ��What they were talking about was naturally the matter of using true spirit blood to suppress the blood corruption poison previously.


    That matter caused an extremely adverse impact.


    Not just the northern front, the southern front similarly suffered heavy losses.


    Fortunately, the news from the northem front there was sent over in time, avoiding a macroscopic loss.


    This matter, Ye Yuan also performed deeds of valor.


    Therefore, Old Fogey Cloudmount��s move was actually exactly the same as Zuo Chen��s method.


    Boosting Ye Yuan��s status was for the sake of making the Extreme Medicine Sect��s face look a little better.


    However, Ye Yuan became a Hegemon Realm�� disciple all of a sudden, that seniority was a little frighteningly high.


    At this time, Divine Lord spoke up. He said, ��Alright, stop arguing, This matter, Senior Cloudmount was indeed in the wrong, but he also wholeheartedly had the alliance in mind. Sister Zhi Yun, don��t keep clinging onto it.��


    ��Humph!��


    Divine Lord speaking up, that female Hegemon could only stop talking.


    ��Senior Cloudmount, this seat isn��t opposed to you wanting to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple. But this matter had best be dealt with in a low-profile manner. Otherwise, you��ll be harming a meritorious subject and chill everyone��s hearts! Furthermore, this boy��s talent is astonishing. Once he steps into


    Emperor Realm, he��ll be a major combat force too! Therefore, even if he��s a divergent cultivator, don��t need to treat him as a sacrificial piece too!�� Divine Lord continued saying to Cloudmount.


    Although the Absolute Heaven Barrier stopped the blood race army.


    But both sides had fought fiercely for several thousand years. There had also been quite a few blood race powerhouses who infiltrated the Heaven One Continent.


    There was no lack of powerhouses among them.


    Once they excessively assisted Ye Yuan to grow, these bloodkins would probably assassinate Ye Yuan at any cost!


    ��This �� It��s still Divine Lord who has ample considerations. I��ll do as Divine Lord says! Pinespring, I��ll leave this matter to you.�� Cloudmount hesitated for a bit and said.


    ��Yes, Master!�� In the Absolute Heaven Barrier, a voice answered.


    Since it was inside the Absolute Heaven Barrier, then it was a Hegemon Realm powerhouse!


    This person actually addressed Cloudmount as his master, his seniority could be seen!


    Even Divine Lord had to address him respectfully as his senior when he saw him too!


    This kind of old monster actually took Ye Yuan in as a personal disciple. That meant that Ye Yuan and those at the Hegemon Realm were peers already!


    This seniority was really frighteningly high!


    In reality, the Extreme Medicine Sect had two great Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    One was Cloudmount, the other was his disciple, Zhou Pinespring.


    These two people were aloof from worldly affairs and shut themselves away from the world.


    Ye Yuan became Cloudmount��s disciple. In the Extreme Medicine Sect, even if the sect master saw him, he would have to call Ye Yuan as ��Martial Uncle�� respectfully too!


    The current Northern View City had long already become a sea of joy!


    Once Lotuswear and Li He died, the remaining blood race Emperor Realms did not pose any threat at all.


    After Dan Fei and Zuo Chen slightly recovered their injuries, it would not be difficult to kill them.


    ��The Emperor Realm experts were victorious. The remaining Saint Sovereign Heaven army went even without saying.


    No matter how high the numbers, it was futile too!


    Therefore, an unprecedented great victory was achieved at the northern front.


    And all these were thanks to Ye Yuan!


    At present, Ye Yuan��s prestige in the northern front army was like the noonday sun, even surpassing the highest commander, Dan Fei!


    It was because they all knew that even Dan Fei, this Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse, could not accomplished such an astonishing great reversal either!


    However, Ye Yuan could not cheer up.


    Although this battle was a great victory, the Heaven One army also suffered heavy casualties.


    Many people that Ye Yuan was familiar with, like Qiao Yiping, all fell.


    Northern View City Lord, Song Miao, also died in battle in the end because of holding back a blood race True Sovereign Heaven.


    Especially Song Miao, he was Ye Yuan��s savior.


    His death made Ye Yuan very upset.


    When in the Lower Realms, Ye Yuan had also once resisted foreign enemies several times.


    But at that time, while his strength could not dominate the war, it could at least influence the course of the war?


    But now, he was as insignificant as an ant.


    He could not influence the course of the war in any way.


    As for this time, it was actually just being lucky enough to be there at the time.


    He knew that war was cruel, but it was still his first time experiencing it so intimately.


    In order to protect him while he killed his way out of the heavy encirclement, one comrade after another fell down around him.


    Those scenes were still vivid in his mind until now.


    People all said that it was him who overcame the raging tides, dominating this unprecedented great victory.


    But Ye Yuan understood that it was not him alone fighting!


    Without those heroes who died, could he have killed his way out of the heavy encirclement?


    Impossible!


    Therefore, after the great battle ended, Ye Yuan was very low-profile.


    He used the blood race blood essence collected in the great battle and refined a batch of Blood of Flame Crystals again, treating those poisoned soldiers.


    There was also a large batch that he had Dan Fei send to the southern front to treat the soldiers over there.


    The soldiers over there were the ones who needed this thing the most!


    ��The remaining time, Ye Yuan imparted the complete Xuanji Nine Leaves to Xiao Shan and the rest.


    He planned to leave for the Extreme Medicine Sect after imparting it.


    Ye Yuan desperately wanted to increase his strength. In this kind of great battle, only powerful strength could affect the war situation!


    He understood that this time, there was suspicion of gaining advantage by trickery.


    Only when one truly became powerful could they reduce the number of deaths around them.


    And right at this time, Zhou Pinespring descended!


    Of course, it was not his main body. It was just a wisp of his clone.


    However, even if it was a wisp of his clone, it was also terrifyingly strong!


    He did not alarm too many people. He just convened the Emperor Realm powerhouses as well as the army��s few great commanders.


    ��With regards to Zhou Pinespring��s arrival, Dan Fei and the rest were incredibly shocked too.


    With the northern front suffering a setback, the blood race carried out a frenzied counteroffensive. The southern front��s war was very tense.


    At this time, Zhou Pinespring actually split off a wisp of clone and came to the northem front to praise the army. It could be seen how important the various Hegemons regarded this great victory!

 Chapter 2835 - Words Shocking the Listeners!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��This seat came here today to accept a disciple on Master��s behalf!��


    The first sentence that Zhou Pinespring said when he opened his mouth stunned everyone present.


    It was because his gaze looked towards Ye Yuan!


    That meaning was self-explanatory!


    It was not Zhou Pinespring taking in a disciple. It was Zhou Pinespring��s master taking in a disciple!


    This �� was too shocking!


    Those present were all Heaven One��s upper echelons. They naturally knew who Zhou Pinespring��s master was.


    A Hegemon Realm was actually accepting a disciple on his master��s behalf!


    This was also to say that he had to address Ye Yuan as his apprentice brother?


    ��The Emperor Realm powerhouses present virtually had an urge to vomit blood.


    This was also going too over the top, right?


    Especially Zuo Chen, he simply wanted to cry but had no tears.


    This is my disciple, alright? Have you guys considered my feelings when accepting disciples?


    He was still my disciple just now. In a blink of an eye, he became my ancestor!


    The war report wrote very clearly that I��ve already taken him in as a disciple, alright?


    Is this really okay?


    If he still did not have the mind to teach Ye Yuan before this battle, but after this, he was really moved by the idea of accepting Ye Yuan as his disciple.


    However, now that he did, there was no more chance.


    To Hegemon Realms, all were ants.


    Not entering Hegemon, one would never have the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath with them.


    Moreover, Zuo Chen was just a mere Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse.


    Zhou Pinespring looked toward Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Ye Yuan, my master is Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s alchemy path��s number one person, Hegemon Cloudmount! He knows that your alchemy path talent is astonishing and wants to take you in as a disciple. Are you willing?��


    Ye Yuan was also very surprised by this.


    This bunch of Hegemon Realms were also too good at playing, right?


    However, he immediately shook his head and said, ��Not willing!��


    ��Gah��


    This sudden great reversal made everyone unable to react.


    It resulted in everyone making all kinds of strange noises.


    Even Zhou Pinespring also looked at Ye Yuan extremely surprisedly.


    This boy seemed to really be somewhat extraordinary!


    Acknowledging Hegemon Cloudmount as his master, that was how many heavenly alchemists�� dream? Even Zuo Chen, who was present, did not dare to have such an extravagant hope too.


    It was because Hegemon Cloudmount had stopped accepting disciples a long time ago!


    Unless some heaven-defying to the extreme prodigy really appeared in this Heaven One Continent, otherwise, he would not make an exception.


    But, this kind of opportunity, Ye Yuan rejected it without even thinking.


    This was indeed too surprising!


    He said with a serious face, ��Ye Yuan, do you know what kind of existence Master Cloudmount is? If you miss this opportunity, you might regret it for life!��


    Ye Yuan also had a serious face as he nodded and said, ��I know! However, I refuse!��


    He was not a fool. Could the master of a Hegemon be an ordinary person?


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s number one person, even placed across all the heavens, that was also absolutely a titan-level existence!


    However, Ye Yuan had his own principles.


    Dan Fei shouted coldly, ��Ye Yuan, are you crazy? Do you know what you rejected?��


    Even Zuo Chen also said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, don��t fool around! This is an opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step. You��re a divergent cultivator, with Ancestor��s ability, there��s absolutely no problem in guaranteeing that you enter Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm!��


    As he said, he bowed to Zhou Pinespring and said, ��Master Pinespring, taking into account that this boy is young, don��t stoop to his level!��


    The other Emperor Realm powerhouses also urged Ye Yuan one after another, asking him not to be headstrong.


    This kind of opportunity, which of them were not envious?


    But Ye Yuan rejected it flatly. It was putting on too much air!


    Zhou Pinespring looked at Ye Yuan and suddenly smiled.


    ��Interesting! Very interesting! Can you tell me why you refused?��


    Ye Yuan said calmly, ��Firstly, I��ve already acknowledged Master Zuo Chen as master. My words are my bond! If I change masters at this time, it��s undoubtedly betraying my master!��


    Hearing this, Zuo Chen was incomparably moved in his heart too.


    It was true that he was an Emperor Realm powerhouse. But, in front of a Hegemon Realm, he was nothing.


    Hegemons would not care about what he thought.


    But Ye Yuan could be considerate of him, even rejecting such a huge temptation for this. How could he not be moved?


    At that time, he only took Ye Yuan in for the sake of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation. He believed that Ye Yuan also knew.


    But now, Ye Yuan could do this. This made people have no choice but to admire him.


    Zuo Chen could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion. This disciple was the right call!


    But, the more it was so, the more he could not hold Ye Yuan back!


    ��Master ����


    Zuo Chen was just thinking of opening his mouth to speak but was stopped by Zhou Pinespring with a hand gesture. He said to Ye Yuan, ��Continue.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Secondly, I know that the Hegemons want to reward me with this, but the contributions this time wasn��t made by me alone! Without the brothers fighting with their lives, I simply could not have killed my way out of the heavy encirclement with my power alone! I understand that in the


    eyes of you Hegemons, whatever True Sovereign Heaven, Saint Sovereign Heaven, we are all ants. Even Emperor Realm powerhouses are similarly ants too! But, without them, Heaven One would have long been finished! Just based on you all, these Hegemons, you can��t stop the blood race army!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan isn��t worthy of taking credit for this!��


    These words made everyone present visibly moved.


    Especially Ming Yi and the few other great commanders, they immediately gave rise to a feeling of how a gentleman would die for his bosom friend.


    These words reached the depths of their hearts!


    Allalong, they had been cannon fodders.


    But cannon fodders had the use of cannon fodders too!


    Regardless of whether it was Hegemon Realm or Saint Sovereign Heaven, they were all protecting Heaven One!


    After this battle, everyone was celebrating the victory.


    But apart from those Saint Sovereign Heaven, who would still remember the valiant souls who died on the battlefield?


    But Ye Yuan engraved it in his heart!


    This boy was worth entrusting!


    This was the voice in everyone��s hearts!


    Ye Yuan did not stop. He continued, ��Thirdly, I entered the Extreme Medicine Sect for the sake of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s alchemy classics. I have my own Dao in the path of alchemy! Therefore, there��s no difference to me whoever I acknowledge as master.��


    ��Hiss����


    Within the great hall, the sounds of cold air being sucked in and breathed out.


    This third point was too arrogant!


    Incredibly arrogant!


    The first two points touched people and visibly moved people.


    But the third point was really too monkeying around!


    Especially Zuo Chen, he was almost crying.


    Iwas just feeling touched, you slapped my face sonorously in a blink of an eye?


    It turned out that you didn��t plan on treating me as a master at all!


    But, thinking about it, they were all smart people. Ye Yuan probably never counted on him, this bargain teacher, at all from start to end.


    ��Ye Yuan, what nonsense are you saying? Get the hell out!�� Zuo Chen shouted coldly.


    It was clearly berating, but actually, it was protecting Ye Yuan.


    These words were too treasonous and heretical!


    This one in front of them was a Hegemon!


    Did he freaking not want his life anymore?


    Ye Yuan gave Zuo Chen a glance, slightly touched in his heart.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Zhou Pinespring suddenly laughed loudly. Zhou Pinespring��s heart thumped, secretly thinking: not good!


    Now, a Hegemon was really going to get angry.


    If you refuse, then just refuse. Why did you have to give such a bloody reason!


    ��Well said!��


    Zhou Pinespring laughed loudly and said, ��Ye Yuan, this seat really likes you more and more! The journey of Dao is extremely profound. But only by treading out one��s own Dao can one reach the apex! Although your realm is low, your heart is clear as a mirror! A shame, a shame. If you weren��t a divergent


    cultivator, how great would that be!��


    But Ye Yuan said, ��So what if I am a divergent cultivator? The path that others couldn��t get through, I, Ye Yuan, might not be unable to clear it!��

 Chapter 2836 - Your Father Will Beat You to Death!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��What did you say? You impudent brat, you actually refused to be this seat��s disciple? He��s rebelling!��


    ��AHHH, it��s infuriating this seat to death! Across the heavens and myriad worlds, how many geniuses want to acknowledge this seat as master, this seat didn��t even care about them. Today, I was actually rejected by a Saint Sovereign Heaven?��


    ��This seat is definitely going to beat him to death! Definitely going to beat him to death!��


    Hearing Hegemon Pinespring��s reply, Hegemon Cloudmount was angered until he stomped with rage.


    Of course, this scene was actually within Zhou Pinespring��s expectations too.


    This master of his valued face the most. When accepting disciples, they absolutely had to be geniuses among geniuses. Ordinary people could not enter his sights at all.


    Each of the disciples that Hegemon Cloudmount took in, they were powerhouses whose reputation shook a region.


    It had always been his pride and also his capital for showing off.


    Honestly speaking, the Hegemon Realm really could not be taught.


    Therefore, Zhou Pinespring agreed with Ye Yuan��s words very much.


    Of course, he was able to step into the Hegemon Realm. On the one hand, it was because he was amazingly talented. On the other hand, there was indeed an inseparable relationship with Hegemon Cloudmount.


    Therefore, even if he had stepped into Hegemon Realm, Zhou Pinespring was still very respectful toward Hegemon Cloudmount.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s conditions for accepting disciples were extremely harsh.


    Especially after him, his conditions became even more hair-raisingly harsh.


    It was not unexpected. With a precious gem in front of him, Hegemon Cloudmount��s horizons became even higher.


    Therefore, Hegemon Cloudmount had already not accepted disciples for more than 100 thousand years.


    This time, he took Ye Yuan in as a disciple groundbreakingly, and Ye Yuan actually refused. How could his face remain intact?


    ��Hahaha, Old Fogey Cloudmount, I didn��t expect that you��ll have this day too. Retribution is really great!�� An old voice came from inside the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s face turned black, and he said with a sneer, ��Old Fogey Blacksun, stop making wisecracks here! Zhao He that dumbass can��t do it. Even if you mock me for ten thousand years, he can��t make it too! Humph!��


    The moment Hegemon Blacksun heard this, he burst into fury and said, ��You blind old thing, Zhao He is extremely talented. Even if you don��t take him in, he��s already a grade nine heavenly alchemist currently as well! Don��t think that this seat doesn��t know what you��re cooking. No matter how poor Zhao


    He��s talent is, could it be that it can��t compare to a measly grade five heavenly alchemist?��


    Hegemon Cloudmount chuckled and said, ��Honestly, he really can��t compare at all! I��ve looked at the formula for the Blood of Flame Crystal. It��s absolutely a stroke of wonder! Disregarding other things, even if it��s the current Zhao He, under the circumstances that he has blood race blood essence, he


    might not be able to develop it too! This boy has brilliant perception. Otherwise, do you think that this seat will really take anyone in as my disciple?��


    ��You! Bullsh*t!�� Hegemon Blacksun was choked until he could not speak.


    Hegemon Blacksun was Thundercry Continent��s hegemon, revered due to his Martial Dao.


    Zhao He was Hegemon Blacksun��s descendant. He was not interested in Martial Dao, but he was very interested in Alchemy Dao.


    Back then, Zhao He knelt for a month in front of Hegemon Cloudmount��s door, wanting to acknowledge Hegemon Cloudmount as his master, but Hegemon Cloudmount did not take him in too.


    Later, Hegemon Blacksun moved out in person, and Hegemon Cloudmount still did not agree.


    Hegemon Blacksun had always been brooding over this matter.


    However, Zhao He also lived up to expectations later and cultivated to Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm, becoming a grade nine heavenly alchemist!


    Hegemon Blacksun felt very relieved and even came to find Hegemon Cloudmount to show off.


    But Hegemon Cloudmount turned his nose up at it and straightforwardly said that grade nine was already the limit for Zhao He. It was absolutely impossible to improve any further.


    He really wanted to show off. After Zhao He stepped into Hegemon Realm, he would come and show off again!


    Hegemon Blacksun got a rebuff and a stomach full of anger. After going back, he spent a great deal of effort to groom Zhao He.


    But Hegemon Cloudmount seemed to have foresight. After Zhao He entered grade nine, his improvement became extremely, extremely slow.


    Hegemon Blacksun spent a huge price, but the results were very weak.


    This face was slapped resoundingly.


    This time, seeing Hegemon Cloudmount treated this way, he naturally could not resist coming out to slap his face.


    In the end, he got slapped again!


    In reality, Hegemon Cloudmount stood at the apex of Alchemy Dao. His horizon was naturally not what the average person could compare to.


    Zhao He was also not really a worthless thing. Otherwise, it would also have been impossible for him to step into the realm of grade nine heavenly alchemist. But that was it.


    But Hegemon Cloudmount ignored the furious Hegemon Blacksun and calmed down. he asked Zhou Pinespring, ��Pinespring, how do you feel after seeing this boy?��


    Zhou Pinespring was silent for a moment, and he assessed, ��Extraordinary!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said in surprise, ��Oh? You��re actually so optimistic about him?��


    He knew that this disciple of his also had extremely high horizons. He did not care about ordinary geniuses at all.


    It was because he himself was a prodigy that shocked the world!


    Being able to be evaluated like this by him, it could be seen that Ye Yuan��s talent was really amazing.


    Zhou Pinespring nodded and said, ��If not for that he��s a divergent, this disciple feels that he should be able to step into the realm of Hegemon!��


    Not just Hegemon Cloudmount, the other Hegemons were shocked too.


    Hegemon could not be said casually.


    Often, not one Hegemon could be born in several hundreds of thousands of years too!


    Across the heavens and myriad worlds, there were many Emperor Sakra Heavens. But the Hegemons were scanty few.


    This step was way too difficult!


    Being able to be evaluated by Zhou Pinespring like this, Ye Yuan was absolutely up to par.


    But, the only thing that was a pity was that �� divergent cultivator!


    ��Then did he reject this seat from the heart or was it intentional?�� Hegemon Cloudmount suddenly asked.


    This question was somewhat subjective, but Hegemon Cloudmount did not care.


    In front of Zhou Pinespring this Hegemon Realm, it was impossible for the slightest fluctuation of Ye Yuan��s emotions to deceive him.


    The reason that Ye Yuan gave was very ample, but actually, it was all not counted as reasons.


    Hegemon Cloudmount was not an ordinary Hegemon Realm powerhouse.


    In alchemy, he was the absolute authority!


    Hegemon Blacksun was a super powerhouse on the same level as him, but he also acknowledged Hegemon Cloudmount��s Alchemy Dao. Otherwise, he also would not have made Zhao He enter his tutelage.


    Being accepted as a disciple by this kind of overlord, that was countless people��s long cherished goal!


    One had to know, even the Extreme Medicine Sect��s sect master did not have the qualifications to enter his tutelage too.


    Some people liked to play petty tricks, thinking that this would make them be regarded higher.


    Of course, this kind of action was just bumptious. How could they possibly deceive the visual prowess of Hegemon Realms?


    Zhou Pinespring said, ��This boy��s heart is loftier than the sky. Most likely �� he really turns his nose up at Master! He also said that walking all the way until today, it was virtually all him comprehending Dao himself. There��s no difference �� who becomes his master.��


    Bang!


    Absolute Heaven Barrier trembled.


    Hegemon Cloudmount was enraged!


    ��Motherfucker! Your Father has lived to this ripe old age and haven��t met such an arrogant punk before! Your Father is already arrogant enough. This brat is even more arrogant than Your Father! Not agreeing, Your Father will go find him personally! If he still doesn��t agree, Your Father will beat him to


    death!��


    Whoosh!


    A streak of flowing light flew out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, heading all the way north!


    Bang!


    Zuo Chen smacked Ye Yuan into the ground with a slap and scolded him angrily, ��Are you a pig? Such a fine opportunity, you actually don��t want it? Do you know who Hegemon Cloudmount is? Do you know how many people across the heavens and myriad worlds cry and yell about wanting to


    acknowledge him as their master? Angering Your Father to death! Angering Your Father to death! Your Father will definitely beat you, this disappointing thing, to death today!��

 Chapter 2837 - Your Arrogant Appearance Looks a Lot Like This Seat’s Style Back Then!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Facing Zuo Chen��s anger, Ye Yuan did not blame him, but he felt warmth in his heart instead.


    After the last battle, Zuo Chen had already sincerely regarded him as his personal disciple. Hence, that was why he would be so angry.


    On the path of cultivation, changing masters was extremely common. It was not a big deal.


    As long as it was not betraying one��s master and sect, they would not be criticized by people.


    It was in man��s nature to strive for better. This was natural law!


    Zuo Chen examined his own conscience. If it was him, he would have agreed without the slightest hesitation.


    But Ye Yuan this fellow actually rejected him!


    ��Master Zuo, he really doesn��t have anything that he can teach me! Or should I say, do you have anything that you can teach me?�� Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Zuo Chen was just venting his anger. He naturally would not really hurt Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan looked miserable right now, but actually, it was all external wounds.


    The moment Zuo Chen heard, he immediately exploded and said with a cold smile, ��H-Huhu, what a cocky brat! You think that by developing a Blood of Flame Crystal, you��re invincible under the heavens? Don��t talk about Ancestor. As a grade eight heavenly alchemist, am I, your master, not enough to


    teach you yet?��


    Ye Yuan looked at Zuo Chen and said coolly, ��I��ve already touched the threshold of profound grade!��


    Zuo Chen was currently blowing his top. When he heard this, he could not help being stunned, immediately looking at Ye Yuan with a look like looking at a monster.


    ��True grade was not the end of Alchemy Dao.


    Above true grade was profound grade!


    Reaching Emperor Realm, the medicinal effects of ordinary heavenly pills was negligible.


    Even if it was true grade heavenly pills, the effects were greatly discounted on Emperor Realms too.


    Profound grade was the exclusive heavenly pill for Emperor Realm powerhouses!


    True grade heavenly pills fused the power of Great Dao in it and possessed unimaginable medicinal effects.


    However, this was just a preliminary use of Heavenly Dao power.


    ��Wanting to really attain a higher level, one must reach profound grade!


    Profound grade could excavate even greater possibilities on the foundation of heavenly medicines�� medicinal effect.


    If true grade could unleash 120% of heavenly medicines�� effect, then profound grade could unleash twice or even triple the medicinal effect!


    The difference in between was not just an iota.


    It was just that from true grade to profound grade, the span was huge!


    Ye Yuan naturally did not understand these things before. But, after encountering Mi Tian, he naturally learned about it.


    Below Emperor Realm, it was simply impossible to reach profound grade!


    Because if one wanted to refine profound grade, they needed to have an extremely deep understanding of Alchemy Dao.


    Not reaching grade seven heavenly alchemist realm, wanting to refine profound grade heavenly pills was simply a fool��s talk.


    Of course, there were also extremely few heaven-defying geniuses who were able to refine profound ground before Emperor Realm, such as Zhou Pinespring.


    This matter had once caused a great sensation!


    But, even if it was Zhou Pinespring, he also reached this step when he was at peak True Sovereign Heaven.


    At that time, he was already not far from Emperor Realm.


    But what realm was Ye Yuan at now?


    Middle Saint Sovereign!


    This brat had not even broken through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Grade five heavenly alchemist refining profound grade heavenly pill?


    It sounded like a fantasy tale no matter how one listened!


    Seeing Zuo Chen��s dumbfounded appearance, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Going to the Extreme Medicine Sect is also for the sake of breaking through to profound grade. Otherwise, when you took me in as a disciple previously, I might really not have agreed to it.��


    Face-slapping sounds could be heard in the air.


    ��The two of them becoming master and disciple just happened to be due to the situation.


    Although now, the two people��s friendship had grown, it could not change their original intentions.


    Regarding Ye Yuan agreeing with Zuo Chen, it was indeed just for the sake of entering the Extreme Medicine Sect to enrich himself and break through the shackles.


    ��True grade was hard; profound grade was naturally even harder.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, wanting to break through to this step was not easy either.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was smacked away by another slap. Zuo Chen said angrily, ��Will you die if you don��t tell the truth? You treacherous disciple, angering Your Father to death! Your Father will beat you to death!��


    Bang!


    Zuo Chen was smacked flying with one slap. A figure suddenly appeared.


    He shot Zuo Chen a glance and said coolly, ��Impudent brat, to actually dare hit your grandmaster, you��re the treacherous disciple! You deserve to be hit! Your Father��s disciple can only be beaten by Your Father!��


    The arrival was a sagely-looking old man, who could it be if not Hegemon Cloudmount?


    Of course, this was a clone too.


    Zuo Chen��s entire body trembled and he said in shock, ��A-Are you Ancestor Cloudmount?��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said coolly, ��It��s naturally this seat. You��re Zuo Chen?��


    Zuo Chen knelt down with a thud and said tremblingly, ��D-Disciple pays respect to Ancestor Cloudmount!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount was totally different from Zhou Pinespring.


    He was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s legend, an undefeated myth!


    Even if Zhou Pinespring advanced to Hegemon Realm, he was unable to be mentioned in the same breath with Hegemon Cloudmount too.


    Hegemon Realm, their movements and traces had always been elusive and secretive. But Zhou Pinespring was the sect��s disciple in the first place, a rising star from the younger generation. Everyone was not unfamiliar with him. There was naturally lesser awe and fear.


    But, with regards to Hegemon Cloudmount, that was different.


    He was an old monster level powerhouse. One should not look at how Zuo Chen was an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm powerhouse. If he wanted to meet Cloudmount, that was impossible.


    But today, Hegemon Cloudmount actually came in person for Ye Yuan!


    Hegemon Cloudmount ignored him but looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Impudent brat, why haven��t you knelt when you see your master?��


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth twitched slightly. This old fellow was so shameless!


    He had clearly rejected the offer already. This guy was still harping on and on about being his master!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I��ve already made it very clear to Hegemon Pinespring, I won��t acknowledge you as master.��


    ��Heh, what high-sounding sentiments! You said you��re not acknowledging and you��re done? Do you know how many people cry and wail, requesting for me to take them in as a disciple?��


    Ye Yuan had a helpless look as he said, ��These two days, I��ve already heard until my ears grew calluses! But what does that have to do with me? I admit that you��re very formidable, but in the future, I might not be unable to catch up to you. I might even surpass you!��


    Hearing this, Zuo Chen��s hair stood on end.


    I don��t know him!


    I don��t know him!


    He was whispering vigorously in his heart.


    ��Hahaha ����


    But, the moment Cloudmount heard, he let out a loud laughter and said, ��Indeed arrogant enough! Looking across the heavens and myriad realms, there really aren��t many who dare to speak to this seat like this! Kid, you��re different from Pinespring that reticent thing! You suit this seat��s taste very much!


    Your arrogant appearance looks a lot like this seat��s style back then! Hahaha �� I��l definitely be taking you in as a disciple!��


    Ye Yuan was rendered speechless. He was really not interested in acknowledging a master.


    Even back then in the Heavenspan World, Sacred Ancestor High Priest that kind of apex existence also addressed him as his brother.


    And he also forged a path that connected to the heavens without any surprise.


    Now, in the 33 Heavens, Ye Yuan was confident that he could also do this.


    Especially after obtaining those records in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, Ye Yuan��s horizons were broadened, and he already had a hazy direction about his path of alchemy


    Those few decades before leaving Rainclear Continent, Ye Yuan had accumulated for a long time and also obtained tremendous improvement in Alchemy Dao.


    ��Apologies. I really don��t have plans to change masters,�� Ye Yuan still shook his head and said.


    Cloudmount pointed at Zuo Chen and said coolly, ��If you don��t agree, this seat will send him to the front-lines right away! You should know, fighting with the blood race is nine chances to die and one chance to live! Oh right, also, those friends around you! The front-lines are severely lacking people. Since


    they are a part of Heaven One, they should serve the alliance, wouldn��t you agree?��


    Hegemon Cloudmount revealed a cunning fox-like smile.


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black. This old man was so shameless to actually use this kind of method to force him to concede..

 Chapter 2838 - Getting Slapped!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan looked at Hegemon Cloudmount and sighed as he said, ��Senior Cloudmount, just what do you want before you��re willing to give up?��


    Cloudmount grinned and said, ��Very simple, a competition! If you win, this seat will leave right away! If I win, you��ll be this seat��s disciple obediently! Otherwise, heh heh ����


    Cloudmount looked toward Zuo Chen with an unfriendly expression, while the latter��s beck shrank back.


    Why am I always the one getting hurt?


    ��A-Ancestor, making Ye Yuan compete with you, this is too bullying!�� Zuo Chen could not resist saying.


    Cloudmount snorted coldly and said, ��Would this seat bully a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven? Kid, this seat will compete in Dao elucidation with you, the Dao elucidation of grade five heavenly medicines! As for what kind of heavenly medicines, feel free to choose!��


    Cloudmount��s domineering appearance really resembled Ye Yuan a little.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��Okay, I agree to it! However, acknowledging you as my master or not can��t be determined by winning or losing!��


    Cloudmount��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Then how do we decide?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��As long as you can convince me, I��ll naturally acknowledge you as my master. Otherwise, there��s no talk!��


    Cloudmount smiled coldly and said, ��Bullsh*t! You��re all talk but no promises. Even if this seat beats you, if you refuse to admit it, what can this seat do to you?��


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said, ��This Ye still has this bit of integrity! You��re an alchemy overlord to begin with. Winning against me is within reason. But if you don��t win me by much, why should I acknowledge you as my master?��


    Cloudmount thought about it and nodded as he said, ��You make some sense! Alright, do as you say! I reckon that you can��t play any tricks in front of this seat either!��


    Ye Yuan naturally did not have the intention to play tricks. Hegemon Cloudmount had already come in person. Ye Yuan was still slightly touched in his heart.


    At present, he was already clear about how great the disparity was between Hegemon and Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    In the eyes of Hegemon Realms, Emperor Sakra Heaven were just ants, let alone Saint Sovereign Heavens?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan also understood that at this point, it was likely impossible for Ye Yuan to want to refuse it anymore.


    Ye Yuan had pride, but it did not mean that he was stupid.


    Under the circumstances where there was no great life-and-death enmity, why was there a need to offend a Hegemon Realm powerhouse?


    Ye Yuan also felt it. Cloudmount attached quite a lot of importance to him. It was completely different from Zuo Chen��s attitude before.


    He felt that the problem was with the Blood of Flame Crystal.


    Ye Yuan spent quite a lot of time and effort on this formula before developing it.


    Even if it was Zuo Chen, he only felt that the reason why Ye Yuan could come up with the Blood of Flame Crystal was that he could get the blood race��s blood essence.


    It showed that his horizons were insufficient, and his cultivation base was still not enough!


    But Cloudmount was different. As a Hegemon Realm, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s alchemy overlord, how could he not even have this bit of visual prowess?


    Hence, Ye Yuan also wanted to see how big the gap between him and an overlord was!


    Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish either, directly pulling out an Unadorned Golden Lotus.


    Unadorned Golden Lotus was a very precious grade five heavenly medicine. It contained extremely complicated rule fragments.


    The so-called Dao elucidation was drawing out the rule fragments in heavenly medicines and displaying it in front of people.


    The more that was shown, it naturally meant the stronger the heavenly alchemist��s strength.


    You could only draw it out if you grasped this portion of rule fragment.


    Ye Yuan��s technique naturally went without saying.


    The Unadorned Golden Lotus in his hand was like a flower, slowly blooming.


    The multi-colored rule fragments presented themselves in an orderly manner before Zuo Chen and Cloudmount��s eyes.


    Zuo Chen��s pupils constricted. Only then did he understand what Ye Yuan meant by saying that he had touched the threshold of profound grade!


    This kid already had half a foot into profound grade. He was only a foot away from entering the door!


    Of course, it was also this step to enter the door that became Ye Yuan��s current bottleneck.


    He wanted to enter the Extreme Medicine Sect and read extensively, precisely for the sake of breaking this shallow layer of a bottleneck.


    Ye Yuan breaking through to profound grade was only a matter of time.


    Even if he did not enter the Extreme Medicine Sect, he believed that before long, he could puncture this layer of window pane paper too!


    This kid was too heaven-defying!


    He was just middle Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    ��What Cloudmount saw was naturally even more different.


    His face was very calm, even carrying thick mockery and a look of disdain. But the twinkle in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.


    Hegemon Cloudmount was shouting crazily in his heart: Genius! Peerless genius! A genius even more monstrous than Zhou Pinespring!


    This kid��s affinity was only 67!


    This rascal was elucidating Dao almost completely based on instinct!


    Furthermore, it was so perfect and impeccable!


    ��When Zhou Pinespring was at grade five heavenly alchemist, he absolutely could not achieve this level!


    One had to know, Zhou Pinespring��s affinity had reached grand completion holy realm long ago!


    Was affinity reaching 100 the limit?


    No!


    Above 100, there were still three realms!


    Spirit realm, profound realm, and holy realm!


    Zhou Pinespring��s affinity was a freak among freaks and had long already reached the peak of holy realm, unable to rise any longer!


    But even so, when Zhou Pinespring was at grade five heavenly alchemist, he could not compare to Ye Yuan too!


    Dao elucidation was just one aspect of refining pills.


    But Dao elucidation could tell how far a heavenly alchemist walked on the path of alchemy.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan had already walked very, very far!


    No wonder this boy was so wild and arrogant. He indeed had the capital to be insolent!


    Such a genius was simply unreasonably monstrous!


    His affinity was clearly not up to scratch, but he was more impressive than others!


    Tell me, was it not aggravating?


    The geniuses that Cloudmount had seen before were as many as schools of carps crossing the river. But he had never seen before such a prodigy who took his breath away!


    This trip was the right call!


    Of course, he would not say these.


    Hegemon Realm had to have the reserved manner of a Hegemon Realm.


    No matter how genius you were, you were still an ant in front of this seat!


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan��s Dao elucidation finally ended.


    The Unadorned Golden Lotus seemed to be peeled open, forming an enormous flower; magnificently beautiful!


    Ye Yuan reeled off the cocoon, guiding the rule fragments in the Unadorned Golden Lotus out, presenting it in a flower shape.


    This kind of means was simply inconceivable.


    Zuo Chen sucked in a cold breath. Even if it was him, he also could not do better than Ye Yuan.


    ��Impressive! Truly incredible! Brat, I really have nothing that I can teach you!�� Zuo Chen said somewhat dejectedly.


    He was indeed more powerful than Ye Yuan in alchemy. Furthermore, he could even refine profound grade heavenly pills.


    But Ye Yuan would not take much time to reach his level.


    With or without him, this master, it was actually all the same.


    Ye Yuan fished out another Unadorned Golden Lotus, threw it to Cloudmount, and said, ��Your turn!��


    Cloudmount did not catch it. Only to see a streak of light flash past, the Unadomed Golden Lotus returned to Ye Yuan��s hand again.


    ��No need,�� Cloudmount said coolly.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Cloudmount, are you conceding defeat?��


    Ahint of disdain flashed across the corners of Cloudmount��s mouth and he said, ��Conceding defeat? Hahaha �� You brat, you really don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Forget about this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, even across all the heavens and myriad worlds, how many dare to make


    this seat admit defeat? Today, I��ll let you witness what��s true Alchemy Dao!��


    Finished saying, Cloudmount��s palm raised up. A flame landed on the Unadorned Golden Lotus that Ye Yuan refined.


    Whoosh!


    It was as if the Unadorned Golden Lotus was watered with a catalyst, starting to grow crazily.


    One flower became two.


    Two flowers became four.


    Four flowers became eight!


    The rule flowers in the house became more and more, and increasingly gorgeous as if walking into a garden.


    This spectacular scenery made people feel an upsurge of emotion, refreshing and gladdening the heart!


    This technique was tyrannical to the extreme!


    Ye Yuan��s expression finally changed!


    His pupils constricted, his heart virtually about to stop beating.


    Too strong!


    ��Was �� this the realm of a chaos heavenly master?

 Chapter 2839 - A Formidable Master had no Incompetent Disciple!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Done posturing, Cloudmount looked at the Ye Yuan with a shocked expression, secretly taking delight in it.


    Who asked you to scare Your Father just now? Now, Your Father will intimidate you too!


    Having a bit of ability, do you really think nothing of others?


    Really think that chaos heavenly masters were to be trifled with?


    Above grade nine heavenly alchemist was chaos heavenly master!


    Missing the word ��alchemist,�� the terror of Hegemon Realm heavenly alchemists could be seen.


    Reaching Hegemon Realm, developing Great Dao was at their fingertips, already breaking away from the domain of medicine.


    Up in the heavens and down below the earth, nothing could not be refined!


    To chaos heavenly masters, they could even forcefully refine their opponents, their strength terrifying to the extreme.


    However, Hegemon Cloudmount felt incredibly guilty.


    This move looked incredible, but it was somewhat taxing to this clone.


    In order to suppress Ye Yuan, he really exerted all of his strength.


    ��Brat, are you convinced?�� Cloudmount said coolly.


    Only then did Ye Yuan come back to his senses and look toward Cloudmount with a look of shock.


    It turned out that heavenly alchemists could reach such a transcendent realm!


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s Dao elucidation was already on a totally different level from Ye Yuan.


    This was like answering a question. Ye Yuan just answered it in a routine manner, but not only did Cloudmount answer it, but he also expanded on it and eventually turned it into an extremely perfect and complete major topic!


    It was worlds apart!


    In Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan had always thought that he did not lose to anyone. But this time, he was really convinced.


    The disparity was too great!


    ��Kid, your talent is pretty good. Maybe one day, you��ll really be able to reach this seat��s realm! But Alchemy Dao is infinite. With someone giving you guidance on the path ahead, you can take many less detours; isn��t that so?�� Hegemon Cloudmount said coolly.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath but arrived before Zuo Chen and kowtowed three times respectfully, saying sincerely, ��One day as master, a master for life! From now on, you��re still my, Ye Yuan��s, master!��


    Ye Yuan had never acknowledged a master in alchemy before.


    Once acknowledged, Ye Yuan naturally would not kick him to the curb after he outlived his usefulness too.


    There was no real master-disciple relation between him and Zuo Chen, but there was the name of master and disciple.


    Now, he was going to acknowledge Cloudmount as his master, but he had to make Zuo Chen call him grandmaster. That was not what a man would do.


    Zuo Chen��s face was full of emotion, and he said with a nod, ��Boy, with this sentence from you, it��s enough!��


    Witnessing Ye Yuan��s talent and strength, Zuo Chen naturally would not be haughty anymore.


    Accepting Ye Yuan as a disciple was not Ye Yuan making a profit, but him profiting!


    Seeing this scene, Hegemon Cloudmount did not stop it but was slightly moved in his heart.


    Looking at it now, the reason why Ye Yuan kept rejecting it before, it was not brushing him off.


    His misgivings toward Zuo Chen probably accounted for a large part of it.


    This boy��s character and disposition was all the best choice!


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s appraisal of Ye Yuan went up a few more points.


    Only after finishing kowtowing to Zuo Chen did Ye Yuan arrive in front of Hegemon Cloudmount and kowtowed three times again, saying, ��Disciple Ye Yuan pays respect to master!��


    ��Haha, good! Good disciple! With this seat accepting a disciple, I normally would inform the world and all the heavens to come and congratulate! However, present circumstances differ from before. For the sake of your safety, we need to keep a low profile! The blood race has many powerhouses lurking


    within the Absolute Heaven Barrier. If they find out about your identity, they will definitely come and kill you at any cost! Therefore, you also have to be careful yourself. Understand?�� Hegemon Cloudmount said.


    Ye Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.


    Hegemon Cloudmount continued, ��Since Master accepted you as a disciple, I naturally have to gift you a greeting gift. You��re about to enter profound grade soon. This seat will demonstrate to you what��s profound grade. This way, it will be much easier for you to break through!��


    Finished saying, Hegemon Cloudmount flicked his sleeves grandly and started refining the Unadorned Golden Lotus.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. Did chaos heavenly masters all refine heavenly medicines like this?


    But very soon, he converged his mind and placed his mind and body on the Unadorned Golden Lotus.


    Only to see the Unadorned Golden Lotus gradually transform, turning into a heavenly pill!


    An incredibly profound aura flowed around the heavenly pill.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes became brighter and brighter.


    He seemed to have grasped something but failed to grasp it at the same time.


    It was seemingly like a castle in the sky.


    He felt that this layer of windowpane paper had already been poked through!


    Of course, he had not broken through yet.


    However, he could already see what was profound grade through that tiny gap.


    His refinement was not carried out randomly but with a definite target in mind.


    He went in the direction of Ye Yuan��s Dao elucidation, slowly guiding, letting Ye Yuan cross this river himself.


    He did not impose anything on Ye Yuan. He just acted in accordance with the flow.


    What Ye Yuan was walking was his own Dao. It had nothing to do with him.


    Very soon, an ordinary, but also not-ordinary heavenly pill appeared before Ye Yuan.


    ��Understood?�� Cloudmount said.


    ��Understood!�� Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said.


    ��Understood what?��


    ��Profound grade is also Dao! However, it��s just an extension of Dao! The water will flow naturally when the channel forms!��


    Ahint of a proud smile flashed across Cloudmount��s face.


    This boy was too monstrous!


    To ordinary heavenly alchemists, the divine ability that he displayed where there was nothing in the world that could not be refined, it was absolutely shocking!


    This kind of divine skill was exclusive to chaos heavenly masters!


    Ordinary people would definitely be immersed in it.


    Didn��t you see that at the side, Zuo Chen was still immersed in it, unable to extricate himself?


    But Ye Yuan did not!


    This boy��s heart was like a clear mirror. He was too clear about what he wanted!


    Although Ye Yuan was also shocked at his means, he placed all of his focus on profound grade.


    ��Therefore, Ye Yuan really understood!


    He understood what profound grade was.


    As for breaking through, that was merely something that would happen naturally without extra effort.


    After Ye Yuan went to the Extreme Medicine Sect and entered the Scripture Library, he would probably be able to break through before long.


    If not for his guidance, Ye Yuan would probably have to study for more than ten years in the Scripture Library before he could puncture this layer of windowpane paper!


    Perhaps even longer!


    ��True grade to profound grade was far too difficult!


    Many Emperor Realm heavenly alchemists could not attain it yet, let alone Ye Yuan this Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    It was not that if you reached the bottleneck, you would be able to break through very soon.


    Breaking through in ten years, Ye Yuan was already a monster among monsters.


    Many Emperor Realms were stuck at this hurdle for thousands of years!


    Of course, Ye Yuan was also extremely shocked in his heart.


    Acknowledging this master was the right call!


    This Hegemon Cloudmount was absolutely an expert in teaching disciples!


    That guidance just now could not be done just because one��s realm was high.


    Ahigh realm and teaching disciples were two completely different things.


    Some people��s realms were extremely high. But the disciples under them were each lousier than the last.


    Some people��s realms were not high. But they could have disciples spread all over the world.


    Knowing how to teach and not knowing how to teach, the difference was too great.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s cultivation realm was not only incredibly high, but he also had the knack for teaching disciples too.


    No wonder he could bring up Zhou Pinespring, this chaos heavenly master!


    A bout of casual giving pointers saved him decades of hard work. This was not what the average person could do.


    ��Alright, this is settled. This seat will be heading back too. The southern front��s war is too tense. Master��s clone can��t leave for too long. You go to the Extreme Medicine Sect First and enter the Extreme Light Pavilion. Over there, Pinespring has already arranged things for you. The remaining road, you can


    just walk on your own! After you come to the Absolute Heaven Barrier, this seat will give you more pointers.��


    Ye Yuan was touched in his heart. Hegemon Cloudmount could be said to have taken an extraordinary risk for him.


    With his clone leaving during the war, it was equivalent to diminishing one��s own strength.


    Once he really encountered a formidable enemy, it would be very easy to get injured.


    ��Many thanks, Master Cloudmount!�� Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    Hegemon Cloudmount smiled and said, ��You, boy, didn��t let Master down! This trip wasn��t in vain!


    After he was done talking, Hegemon Cloudmount��s figure swayed, and he disappeared.


    Ye Yuan pushed Zuo Chen, Zuo Chen abruptly startled awake and said blankly, ��Ancestor Cloudmount he �� left?��


    Ye Yuan gave him a look and said crossly, ��Stop thinking! Immersing in it will damage your Dao heart!��


    Zuo Chen was suddenly shocked!

 Chapter 2840 - Standing By and Watching People Die!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Master Zuo, take care!��


    ��You brat, this seat is at any rate Emperor Realm too. Don��t make that face as if it��s a parting of life and death, alright?��


    ��Huhu, Old Man Zuo, you accepted a good disciple!��


    ��Humph! Don��t talk rubbish. Ye Yuan��s current identity isn��t the same anymore!��


    Emperor Dan Fei became embarrassed and immediately shut up.


    The matter of Ye Yuan becoming Hegemon Cloudmount��s disciple, they knew about it too.


    ��When they learned about this news from Zuo Chen, they were naturally shocked to the extreme.


    Hegemon Cloudmount had not taken disciples for more than 100 thousand years already. This time, he actually came over personally for the sake of a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    It could be seen how highly he valued Ye Yuan.


    Just as Emperor Dan Fei said, Ye Yuan��s current identity was different!


    In terms of seniority, they had to call Ye Yuan grandmaster!


    On the contrary, it was Zuo Chen who did not need to call him like this.


    At this time, it was already time to leave.


    The southern front was strained. Dan Fei and the other Emperor Realm powerhouses had to head to the southern front immediately to fight.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan and a few others were going to the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    After this parting, he also did not know whether they would meet again. Ye Yuan was naturally sentimental.


    Zuo Chen played it down, but he knew that the southern front was very dangerous. Forget about Emperor Realm; even Hegemon Realms might fall too.


    ��Kid, over at the sect��s side, this seat has already made arrangements for you. After arriving at the sect, your Senior Apprentice Brother Hua Zong will arrange everything. This matter of Ancestor Cloudmount accepting you as a disciple, you shouldn��t publicize this matter either. His identity is too exalted.


    He��s the thom in the blood race��s side. Once exposed, the blood race will definitely kill you at any cost. Therefore, you��re still this seat��s disciple on the surface. Understand?�� Zuo Chen exhorted.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��This disciple understands!��


    The two groups of people split up. Ye Yuan brought Yang Qing and the others, and they headed straight to the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect was located at East Victory Mountain Range, east of the Heaven One Continent.


    The landscape was endowed with natural spirits, gathering heaven and earth spiritual energy, being a holy land for cultivation.


    The Heaven One Continent was extremely vast. Something as large as the Rainclear Continent was only one-ten thousandth as the Heaven One Continent.


    The Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s three vast continents, plus the area of the ocean, was simply immeasurable.


    On the three continents, there were originally seven great Hegemon level sects.


    The Heaven One Continent had the most. It had three, and the Extreme Medicine Sect was one of them.


    However, four out of the seven great sects had been destroyed. Now, there was only the Heaven Seeking Sect, Extreme Medicine Sect, and Nine Suns Sect left.


    And the blood race marched north. Nine Suns Sect was the first to bear the brunt. Most of its territory was occupied by the blood race.


    In the past, the seven great sects were divided. When it came down to race extermination, they had no choice but to join forces too.


    It was also under this kind of circumstances that Hegemon Realm powerhouses joined forces to build the Absolute Heaven Barrier and resist the enemy.


    In contrast, the blow that the Extreme Medicine Sect suffered was actually not considered great.


    Therefore, the current Extreme Medicine Sect was still a prosperous scene.


    ��When Ye Yuan and the rest passed through the transmission array and reached East Victory Mountain Range, it was already half a month later.


    ��Tsk tsk, truly well-deserving of being a Hegemon level sect! This magnificence, this aura, in the future, I, Hegemon Azuresky, will definitely dominate here!�� Yang Qing looked at that magnificent hall that towered into the clouds and said passionately.


    ��Pfft!�� Big Yellow and Jingfei two people both laughed at the same time.


    Yang Qing��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What are you guys laughing about? This sovereign has already stepped into True Sovereign Heaven. Within ten thousand years, this sovereign will definitely step into Hegemon Realm!��


    Jingfei said gleefully, ��Bullshit! If you want to say Big Brother Ye Yuan cultivating to Hegemon Realm, I��ll believe it. But you �� No chance!��


    Yang Qing was furious and said to Ye Yuan, ��Punk, come, come, come! Let��s fight one-on-one! If I don��t beat you until you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, then I��m not called Sovereign Azuresky!��


    Ye Yuan did not speak. Dao sword appeared indistinctly between his brows.


    Yang Qing��s expression changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and said with a cautious look, ��You��re acting shamelessly! What kind of hero are you considered by using the Dao sword?��


    Ina frontal confrontation, after he stepped in True Sovereign Heaven, Ye Yuan was definitely not his match.


    He was not an ordinary True Sovereign Heaven. In the previous great battle, he had once battled three people alone and even overpowered his opponents.


    Although Ye Yuan was able to jump realms and battle, that also depended on who the target was.


    True Sovereign Heavens were not to be trifled with.


    But, if he used the Dao sword, that was completely different.


    One had to know, back then, one sword from Ye Yuan cut down the middle True Sovereign Heaven Han Guang!


    Therefore, when Ye Yuan utilized the Dao sword, Yang Qing immediately yielded.


    When Jingfei saw the situation, she laughed herself even harder into fits and said, ��What rubbish Sovereign Azuresky! You��re just relying on that your realm is a little higher. If you have the ability, fight with Big Brother Ye Yuan at the same realm! Big Brother Ye Yuan will give you a handicap of one hand.


    Oh, no, give you a handicap of both hands and both legs and you��re not a match for him too!��


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��Humph! He��s just relying on that he��s a divergent cultivator. You rest assured. This sovereign absolutely won��t let him catch up! When he reaches Emperor Sakra Heaven, this sovereign would have already reached the Hegemon Realm! At that time, I��ll


    ravage him then!��


    Ye Yuan ignored Yang Qing and already drifted down, frowning slightly.


    In front of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s gates, large batches of wounded people were gathering over from all directions, wails filling the land.


    A youth who was injured all over carried another youth as he pleaded bitterly to an Extreme Medicine Sect disciple, ��Extreme Medicine Sect��s living bodhisattvas, I beg you, let us enter! If my younger brother is still not saved, he��ll be dead for sure!��


    The youth on his back was already on his dying breath, looking like he was about to kick the bucket.


    But at this time, the Extreme Medicine Sect sent people to block his path and did not let these people go up the mountain at all.


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect disciple whom he was pleading with had an impatient look. Pushing him away, he said in a cold voice, ��What��s the hurry? What��s the hurry? He��s merely a lower Saint Sovereign Heaven. Do you know how many people are waiting for treatment on the mountain now? Wait here.


    If you dare to cause any more trouble, don��t blame us for not being courteous!��


    ��When the youth who got pushed saw his younger brother��s appearance, his heart burned with anxiety, and he directly knelt down to that Extreme Medicine Sect disciple and said, ��Your Excellency, I beg you, save my younger brother! He only became like this because of fighting with the blood race at


    Absolute Heaven Barrier! You �� You can��t stand by and watch people die!��


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect disciple smiled coldly and said, ��In that case, you��re all heroes? Open your damn eyes and take a look. Of those that the Extreme Medicine Sect is treating now, who isn��t a hero resisting the blood race? Go away! Keep causing trouble and you��ll be killed without amnesty!��


    Clank!


    That Extreme Medicine Sect disciple drew his blade, a cold aura swept out and made everyone��s expressions change.


    ��Puhwark!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Right at this time, the youth��s younger brother suddenly vomited large mouthfuls of blood, his eyes rolling up, looking as if it was hopeless for him.


    The youth��s expression changed greatly and he said in a panic, ��Zhang Yi, you �� you have to hold on! We �� We��re already reached the Extreme Medicine Sect. They will definitely save you!��


    That Extreme Medicine Sect disciple��s expression was indifferent. Clearly, he did not have the intention of stepping forward to heal him.


    All around, many people had looks of lament and resentment, all glaring at the Extreme Medicine Sect disciple angrily.


    But they clearly did not care.


    Just some ants, what could they do to them?


    These days, the southern front had fallen into a frenzied great battle. The blood race launched wave and wave of assault, Heaven One��s side suffered heavy casualties.


    As the number one alchemy sect, the people coming to the Extreme Medicine Sect to seek medicinal treatment naturally came and went in endless streams.


    The entire Extreme Medicine Sect had already reached a state of full load operations. They seriously could not accommodate so many people anymore.


    Hence, they naturally had to choose who to treat.


    The army that the southern front formed, those were all the various major sects�� disciples, their strength far surpassing these itinerant cultivators.


    But the real numbers were still these nameless itinerant cultivators.


    They might not be strong, but they also formed all kinds of organizations and were killing the enemy on the front line.


    These people in front of them were firstly without background, and secondly, they were without strength. They would naturally be stopped outside the mountain pass gates.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan arrived next to the youth��s younger brother with a flash.


    It was only to see stars lit up. The Xuanji Nine Leaves suddenly activated.


    One divine essence needle after another entered Zhang Yi��s body. Very soon, Zhang Yi stopped puking blood, and his aura also became much more uniform..

    After finishing these, Ye Yuan took out a heavenly pill and directly melted it in water, took out a small cup, and let the youth��s younger brother drink it.


    The complexion of the youth��s younger brother, who was originally on his dying breath, became rosy very quickly.


    Everyone stared at Ye Yuan without moving their gaze, their eyes going from doubt to surprise.


    That Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple��s reaction was the fastest. He naturally knew what Ye Yuan was going to do.


    Originally, he had a disdainful look. But very soon, his expression became solemn.


    An expert!


    This acupuncture technique was much stronger than even many of the top disciples in the sect!


    Also, that heavenly pill, it was definitely peak true grade!


    ��Was this here to challenge the dojo?


    ��Divine doctor! That kid was practically about to meet King Yama just now. Now, he actually lived!��


    ��What formidable medical skills, truly the means to revive the dead!��


    ��This master is a virtuous doctor, saving the wounded, not like the Extreme Medicine Sect, standing by and watching people die, humph!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan having such miraculous methods, waves of exclamations immediately came from all around.


    Of course, they also showed contempt for the Extreme Medicine Sect while they were at it.


    One refused to help people in mortal danger. The other had a doctor��s benevolence, the level was immediately established!


    ��Alright. Bring your younger brother to go and rest for a while, and he��ll be fine,��Ye Yuan said to the youth.


    ��When the youth saw that his younger brother had come back to life, his two eyes went red with agitation. Kneeling down in front of Ye Yuan with a thud, he said, ��Many thanks, Master, for your life-saving grace! Zhang Song��s life will be sold to Master!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Alright, go on. There are still many people who need treatment here, don��t delay.��


    Finished saying, he said loudly, ��People who are on the verge of dying, come in front of me to queue up in haste. You��re not allowed to hold a position without being qualified. Otherwise �� kill without mercy!��


    This yell immediately attracted an uproar.


    Those Saint Sovereign Heavens who were seriously injured on the verge of death, immediately rushed forward together.


    ��The wounded present were not less than ten thousand people. But those who were truly about to die were naturally in the minority.


    Very soon, those people came in front of Ye Yuan and lined up in a snaking queue.


    Ye Yuan��s acupuncture technique, coupled with true grade heavenly pills melted in water, virtually worked like a charm.


    The surrounded cries of exclamations were continuous!


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect disciple who was in front was called Qian Nan, a half-step True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    At this time, Qian Nan��s expression became increasingly uglier.


    This punk clearly came to the Extreme Medicine Sect to slap faces!


    The people that we did not take in, you treated them to earn fame?


    Furthermore, it was even in front of the mountain pass gates of a behemoth like the Extreme Medicine Sect. Were you freaking nuts?


    He came in front of Ye Yuan, using his blade to point at Ye Yuan, he said in a cold voice, ��Brat, here isn��t the place for you to show off. Hurry up and get lost; otherwise, you��ll get it!��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and said coolly, ��Big Yellow, dole out a small punishment, break his legs!��


    Qian Nan was just about to sneer and mock Ye Yuan: did you ate a bear��s heart or leopard��s gall? To dare beat the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple in front of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s mountain pass gates?


    However, his eyes blurred. Big Yellow��s hoof already arrived.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s half-step True Sovereign Heaven was naturally very strong.


    But who was Big Yellow?


    He already killed his way into history��s top 1000 in the Labyrinth Divine Palace. It was already rare for him to have a match in the same rank!


    This hoof directly kicked Qian Nan��s entire person flying.


    Then Big Yellow followed after swiftly.


    Crack! Crack!


    Qian Nan��s two legs snapped in response!


    ��ARGH!��


    Qian Nan screamed miserably. Everyone was stunned, including those people who came to seek medical treatment.


    Beating the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple in front of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s gates, was this person a fool?


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect was a Hegemon level powerful sect!


    Even in the era of the seven great Hegemon level sects, the Extreme Medicine Sect was a top major sect too.


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses reached as many as four people!


    Apart from Hegemon Cloudmount and Hegemon Pinespring, there were also two martial path powerhouses.


    This kind of behemoth, even Hegemon Realms did not dare to easily provoke it.


    Now, it actually had its front door blocked by a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven and got slapped in the face?


    ��You �� You really dare to break my legs! Everyone attack together for me! Dice this punk into pieces!�� Qian Nan roared angrily.


    As an Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple, how revered was his status?


    Some fellow who popped out from god knows where actually broke his legs!


    There were hundreds of Saint Sovereign Heavens maintaining order in front of the mountain pass gates.


    Hearing the order at this time, they immediately swarmed forward.


    ��Sovereign Azuresky is here! Who dares to act wildly?!��


    Yang Qing��s long spear swung horizontally, the power of a True Sovereign Heaven suddenly bloomed. The footsteps of those Saint Sovereign Heaven disciples abruptly stopped.


    Everyone present was inexplicably shocked again.


    It was not because Yang Qing was powerful, but they were shocked by his boldness!


    You were also too freaking domineering, right?


    A mere True Sovereign Heaven dared to posture at the Extreme Medicine Sect��s door?


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s True Sovereign Heavens numbered at least 8000; even if not, there should be over 5000!


    Maintaining order, the Extreme Medicine Sect did not send powerhouses over. Because in their view, no one dared to make a move in front of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s gates at all.


    Who knew that someone made a move!


    Qian Nan endured the intense pain and said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, Sovereign Azuresky, how awe-inspiring! Are the few of you really bullying my Extreme Medicine Sect for not having anybody?��


    ��It was not that the Extreme Medicine Sect doesn��t have anyone. It��s that you stood by and watched people die, ruining the Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation. Breaking your legs is teaching you a lesson on your teacher��s behalf!�� Ye Yuan treated a person and opened his mouth to say lightly.


    Qian Nan said furiously, ��Who the hell do you think you dare? To also be fit to lecture me? Go and invite Martial Uncle Wu Jiang they all over. I want to see what right a measly little middle Saint Sovereign Heaven has to be so impressive!��


    Under Qian Nan��s word of comman4, there was immediately someone who returned to the mountain pass gates.


    Ye Yuan and the rest did not stop him either.


    With this, those wounded were not calm anymore.


    While this master was impressive, he was a little too impressive.


    You also didn��t take a look. Where was this place? To still want to teach people��s disciple a lesson.


    Wasn��t this courting death?


    ��Master, you��d better leave quickly! Your great kindness, we��re endlessly grateful! But the Extreme Medicine Sect can��t be provoked!��


    ��Yeah, Master! You��re a virtuous doctor, we all remember firmly in our hearts. Hurry up and go, or it will be too late!��


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is a Hegemon level sect. There are countless True Sovereign Heavens in the sect! The few of you can��t gain any advantages!��


    The surrounding wounded urged one after another, asking Ye Yuan and his companions to leave.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No worries. Even if their teachers came, I��m scared that the people they call over don��t have enough weight.��


    Everyone toppled!


    You were posturing too much!


    If their sect randomly sent a few True Sovereign Heavens over, they would crush you guys to death.


    There was naturally no one who would think that this measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven before their eyes was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s ancestor��s disciple.


    Even if this identity could not be known to the outside world, the seniority of Zuo Chen��s disciple was also extremely high.


    When Qian Nan heard it, he snickered and said, ��Huhu, I really broadened my horizons today! In that case, I��ll see if you can still be so impressive after our teacher arrives!��


    Very soon, more than ten True Sovereign Heavens flew over in a threatening manner.


    A youth in blue long robes shouted coldly, ��Who is it to dare act wildly before our Extreme Medicine Sect��s mountain pass gates?��


    Blue robes were the attire of True Sovereign Heaven disciples.


    The arrival was precisely Wu Jiang, middle True Sovereign Heaven powerhouse.


    ��When Qian Nan saw that Wu Jiang came, he immediately became emboldened and said to Ye Yuan with a cold smile, ��This master, my teacher is here. I want to see how you teach me a lesson! Martial Uncle Wu Jiang, it��s this punk who damaged our Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation in front of the


    mountain pass gates, and he even broke my legs, saying that it��s teaching me a lesson on my teacher��s behalf!��


    ��Wu Jiang��s expression turned cold, the pressure of a True Sovereign Heaven directly pressed down on Ye Yuan��s body as he said in a solemn voice, ��Where did this impudent thing come from? Are you courting death?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and still administered the needles as he said with his back facing him, ��Is the management of the mountain pass gates your responsibility?��

 Chapter 2842 - Kneel!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Listening to you, do you also want to denounce me publicly for crimes?�� Wu Jiang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile.


    ��Why? Can��t I2�� Ye Yuan still said coolly.


    Wu Jiang��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��Showing you a bit of color and you really opened a dye shop! A mere Saint Sovereign Heaven boasting shamelessly in front of our Extreme Medicine Sect, who gave you


    the courage?��


    Ye Yuan still did not turn his head back and said coolly, ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is one of Heaven One��s only remaining fruits, and it is also the number one alchemy path sect. In the war with the blood race, the


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples gained great prestige because they fought bloody battles on the battlefield and treated countless wounded. But you all ignored tens of thousands of wounded and stood by as you


    watched people die; hearts like stone. The Extreme Medicine Sect��s face has been utterly lost by you all!��


    Everyone could not help nodding one after another when they heard it.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation had indeed reached its peak after the war.


    ot only the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples fought at the front lines and had countless casualties, they even healed countless wounded.


    n terms of prestige, the Extreme Medicine Sect was currently the well-deserved number one major sect!


    But it was also precisely because of this that the Extreme Medicine Sect had many disciples who became conceited and condescending.


    Dao Chen and the others from before, and the Wu Jiang and the others too, they were all like this.


    To really discuss merits, Wu Jiang these people had meager cultivation realms. How much merit could they have?


    But they relied on the Extreme Medicine Sect��s record of merits and damaged the Extreme Medicine Sect��s reputation.


    ow that Ye Yuan entered the Extreme Medicine Sect, he could naturally interfere.


    Moreover, the likes of Wu Jiang and Qian Nan were incomparably cold-blooded, passively watching these people die without caring about them. This was diametrically opposed to the Medicine Dao that Ye Yuan


    upheld. It was not something that he could tolerate.


    When Wu Jiang heard, he did not get angry but smiled instead and said, ��Oh wow, you, a mere Saint Sovereign Heaven, is bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind! It��s just that if you want to


    posture, did you pick the wrong place to do it? Who the hell do you think you are? To dare lecture this sovereign?��


    Everyone felt that Ye Yuan was crazy.


    If you lectured the Saint Sovereign Heaven Qian Nan, forget it.


    Now, his martial uncle came, and you still lectured him?


    These ten over people were all True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses!


    You only had one True Sovereign Heaven here!


    Wu Jiang could not be bothered to talk nonsense either, directly making a hand gesture. More than ten True Sovereign Heavens rushed forward.


    That commotion was very shocking.


    The surrounding people lamented. Asked you to run away long ago, you didn��t run. Now, you can��t escape even if you want to run away!


    But right at this time, a figure suddenly blocked the paths of Wu Jiang and the rest.


    When Wu Jiang saw the arrival, he could not help being overjoyed and said, ��Wu Jiang, pays respect to Martial Uncle Hua Zong!��


    ��Paying respect to Martial Uncle Hua Zong!��


    ��Paying respect to Grandmaster Hua Zong!��


    Those True Sovereign Heaven and Saint Sovereign Heavens bowed one after another.


    Hua Zong was Zuo Chen��s personal disciple.


    Although he was only grand completion True Sovereign Heaven Realm, he was the personal disciple of Zuo Chen this big shot. So he was one generation higher than Wu Jiang in terms of seniority.


    Of course, Wu Jiang had nothing to complain about either.


    Hua Zong would step into Emperor Realm before long!


    Emperor Cloud Heaven, even if it was the weakest Emperor Cloud Heaven Realm, it was also not an unimportant character in the sect anymore.


    Therefore, Hua Zong��s status in the Extreme Medicine Sect was not low!


    Hua Zong nodded slightly, considered to have responded.


    But Wu Jiang said in great joy, ��Martial Uncle Hua Zong came just in time. This boy is trying to win popular support in front of our Extreme Medicine Sect��s gates, slandering the Extreme Medicine Sect and even


    breaking our Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple��s legs. Martial Uncle, please uphold justice and take this boy down!��


    Wu Jiang was a wily old fox too. Since Hua Zong came, this matter would naturally have Hua Zong take charge.


    Want to beat or kill, it was all up to him.


    Hua Zong did not react. He just said lightly, ��Kneel down.��


    Wu Jiang and his fellow disciples were taken aback and said, ��Martial Uncle Hua Zong ����


    Hua Zong��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Kneel down!��


    Wu Jiang naturally did not dare to contradict Hua Zong. He could only kneel down unwillingly and said, ��I wonder how this disciple has offended Martial Uncle Hua Zong? Martial Uncle, please make things clear!��


    Hua Zong ignored him but turned to Ye Yuan and said, ��Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, do you want my help?��


    One sentence, and everyone was extremely shocked.


    ��W-What did he call? He actually called this master �� as his junior apprentice brother?��


    ��No way, right? Although this lord is True Sovereign Heaven, that Sovereign Wu Jiang calls his martial uncle, it can be seen that his status in the Extreme Medicine Sect is extremely high! He��s actually calling a Saint


    Sovereign Heaven junior apprentice brother?��


    ��Like this, wouldn��t that Wu Jiang have to call Master Ye martial uncle too? Amazing! No wonder Master Ye had a lecturing tone all along. It turned out that his identity is actually so frightening!��


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is well-deserving as the present Heaven One��s number one major sect. It��s indeed still of high moral standing and commands universal respect! It��s just that some monks recited the


    scriptures wrongly. We��ve blamed the Extreme Medicine Sect unjustly!��


    One ��junior apprentice brother�� immediately caused the entire place to burst into an uproar.


    Before this, there was seriously no one who dared to think so.


    A mere Saint Sovereign Heaven, what the hell did he count for in the Extreme Medicine Sect?


    Although the Extreme Medicine Sect was not a super major sect like the Labyrinth Divine Palace, they still had tens of thousands of Saint Sovereign Heaven disciples.


    It could be said that Saint Sovereign Heavens were as plentiful as dogs in Hegemon level sects!


    To those upper echelons, they would not go and care about the life and death of Saint Sovereign Heavens at all.


    Wanting to stand out from among Saint Sovereign Heaven, there was only defying the heavens all the way, and reaching the Emperor Realm!


    If not, one at least had to kill their way to the forefront among True Sovereign Heavens too.


    Therefore, no one ever thought that Ye Yuan was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s upper echelon.


    Yet, he was!


    The moment his identity became clear, the surrounding people also finally understood why Ye Yuan kept on lecturing Wu Jiang and Qian Nan.


    These guys brought shame upon the Extreme Medicine Sect��s name!


    Ye Yuan could not stand it and was slapping their faces.


    One sentence immediately shifted these people��s negative emotions towards the Extreme Medicine Sect completely away.


    As for Wu Jiang and the rest, they were completely dumbfounded.


    ��J-Junior Apprentice Brother? Isn��t Martial Uncle Hua Zong Grandmaster Zuo Chen��s youngest disciple? When did another junior apprentice brother pop out?�� Wu Jiang was stunned.


    In other words, we were all posturing to our martial uncle earlier?


    Just now, I was still scolding, who the hell do you think you are?


    Wu Jiang only felt bitterness in his mouth.


    In the Extreme Medicine Sect, heavenly alchemists were revered as supreme. Martial artists took second place.


    And Zuo Chen was also an extremely strong existence among grade eight heavenly alchemists, his status being extremely high.


    Otherwise, even if Hua Zong was a personal disciple, Wu Jiang would not be so respectful either.


    After all, he had a master too.


    But now, he actually offended Grandmaster Zuo Chen��s disciple!


    This was a disaster!


    When Hua Zong greeted, Ye Yuan still did not turn back and just said coolly, ��Then I��ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother Hua! This junior apprentice brother is currently administering needles and can��t get up


    to pay respects to Senior Apprentice Brother. I hope that Senior Apprentice Brother is magnanimous. After healing these wounded, we��ll talk again.��


    Hua Zong nodded slightly and said, ��As it ought to be! Wounded people, come over to my side!��


    Hence, these two people started treating those wounded.


    Hua Zong was a peak grade six heavenly alchemist, his strength being extremely formidable. Otherwise, he would not have been taken in by Zuo Chen as a personal disciple too.


    He had also just arrived and did not see Ye Yuan treating the rest before.


    However, when Zuo Chen summoned him, he told him about some of Ye Yuan��s characteristics. This Xuanji Nine Leaves was one of them.


    Therefore, the moment he saw stars revolving around, he knew that Ye Yuan was here.


    But, at this time, he divided a portion of his energy to focus on Ye Yuan there and was incredibly shocked in his heart.


    What swift and fierce technique!.

 Chapter 2843 - Help Him Brag!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Junior Apprentice Brother��s Alchemy Dao realm is likely quite a bit stronger than me! No wonder Master repeatedly exhorted me to definitely take good care of Junior Apprentice Brother! He��s just a grade five


    heavenly alchemist. When he reaches my realm, he might even have a chance to compete with Hegemon Pinespring back then!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s acupuncture technique, titanic waves set off in Hua Zong��s heart.


    It was just that he did not know that in Ancestor Cloudmount��s heart, the current Ye Yuan already surpassed Zhou Pinespring back then!


    With regards to his master��s orders, Hua Zong was very perplexed in his heart.


    That tone was actually like �� somewhat ingratiating himself with Junior Apprentice Brother!


    Previously, he had some indignation and disdain in his heart.


    But now, it completely dissipated!


    The two people were both exceedingly formidable people. When they took action, it was naturally extraordinary.


    However, the numbers were too many. The two of them also used a full day before completely healing those severely wounded people.


    Meanwhile, Wu Jiang and the rest knelt there just like that, being at a loss on what to do.


    After treating the last person, Ye Yuan got up and said loudly, ��Everyone, the Extreme Medicine Sect won��t stand by and watch people die! You all came over from the southern front too. You know how fierce the war is


    over there. There are too many wounded being sent back, resulting in the present situation. However, everyone rest assured. You all wait here first. This Ye will arrange for manpower to come over and carry out


    treatment on everyone according to your injuries. Everyone, please observe order. That way, more people can receive medical treatment.��


    ��Okay! Many thanks for your help, Master Ye!��


    ��Master Ye, rest assured. We just came to seek medical treatment. We won��t make trouble!��


    ��We trust the Extreme Medicine Sect��s credibility. We��ll wait right here!��


    When he was done speaking, those wounded people immediately made their attitudes known.


    These people were all moved by Ye Yuan.


    Originally, with Ye Yuan��s identity, he did not need to care about them at all.


    But Ye Yuan did not shirk from hardship and treated hundreds of people.


    These people naturally trusted what he said.


    However, Hua Zong, who was by the side, frowned slightly. However, he covered it up very quickly.


    Some things were not appropriate to say in front of so many people.


    Ye Yuan had not entered the sect yet. He probably did not know how complicated things were inside this kind of Hegemon level sect!


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan came before the kneeling Wu Jiang.


    Wu Jiang��s expression was extremely ugly, but he could only call out, ��D-Disciple pays respect to Martial Uncle!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I wonder if I��m qualified to teach you a lesson now?��


    Although Wu Jiang was unhappy in his heart, he still nodded and said, ��Martial Uncle is naturally qualified to teach this disciple a lesson!��


    His strength was not strong in the sect, and his status was not high. Otherwise, he also would not have been sent to guard the mountain pass gates.


    Therefore, he could not afford to provoke someone with Ye Yuan��s identity.


    ��Good that I��m qualified! You listen up! The Heaven One Continent is presently united against outsiders, making no distinctions between each other! These people, they are all our comrades in arms! As the number one


    major sect in the world, our Extreme Medicine Sect should naturally also shoulder the responsibility of being the number one great sect! The Extreme Medicine Sect��s prestige, that��s all forged bit by bit, by Hegemon


    ancestors and Emperor Realm powerhouses! You guys are just sitting idly and reaping the fruits of others�� labor!��


    ��You, these people are staying in the rear, you don��t know the cruelty of the front lines at all! If you all have also experienced the death of your loved ones and witnessed the power of the blood race, you guys wouldn��t


    be so cold anymore! Today, in front of all the Extreme Medicine Sect disciples present, I��ll report this to the Extreme Light Pavilion and let you all go to the Absolute Heaven Barrier to experience what��s called cruelty


    and what��s called comrade-in-arms!��


    Hua Zong, who was by the side, was dumbfounded with shock from listening.


    Was this junior apprentice brother too naive or too arrogant?


    A few hundred Saint Sovereign Heavens present, more than ten True Sovereign Heavens, you said dispatch and they would be dispatched?


    na massive sect, the relationships were complicated and confusing!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven was still alright, but behind True Sovereign Heavens, there were more or less the shadows of Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    ff he touched one or two people, with Zuo Chen��s face, there was naturally no one who dared to talk behind his back.


    But, touching several hundred people at once, even Zuo Chen could not suppress it too!


    eporting to Extreme Light Pavilion �� you really dared to say something like that!


    Did you really think that this Extreme Medicine Sect was run by your family?


    Hua Zong felt a headache coming. This junior apprentice brother had not even entered the sect and already caused considerable trouble.


    Of course, he did not feel that Ye Yuan had the ability to do this.


    But the tall talk was already released. At that time, if it could not be completed, then where would Master Zuo Chen��s face go?


    However, these words received the unanimous cheering of those seeking medical treatment when it was uttered.


    ��Master Ye is mighty!��


    ��Well done, Master Ye!��


    The faces of Qian Nan and the rest punctured these people��s hearts deeply.


    Therefore, when Ye Yuan said it, they naturally clapped their hands in joy.


    Wu Jiang and the rest had respectful faces, but they were sneering endlessly in their hearts.


    No idea where this country bumpkin came from either. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted in the Extreme Medicine Sect after acknowledging Emperor Zuo Chen as his master?


    There were no less than 100 thousand Extreme Medicine Sect disciples.


    So many disciples, the factions in it went without saying.


    The larger the sect, the more complicated and confusing the relationships.


    ff you were Emperor Realm, there might really be some deterrent force when you said this.


    But you were just merely a puny little grade five heavenly alchemist; that was all!


    o matter how high your talent was, could it still affect the decision of the upper echelons?


    eckless and blind!


    Young people indeed hungered for fame and reputation and liked posturing!


    it was just that, have you considered your master��s feelings when you postured like this?


    Wu Jiang knelt, the corners of his mouth sneering as he said, ��I leave it up to Martial Uncle to deal with!��


    Hua Zong frowned slightly and said with a wave of his hand, ��All of you withdraw. Switch to another batch of people to come and maintain order!��


    Wu Jiang kowtowed to Hua Zong and brought people and withdrew.


    Along the way, Wu Jiang had a disdainful look as he said, ��Huhu, really a very stupid and naive boy! Does he think that by acknowledging Grandmaster Zuo Chen as his master, he transformed from a swallow into a


    phoenix? Doesn��t he know that in the Emperor Sakra Heaven, there��s still Emperor Sakra Heaven and also Hegemon Realm?��


    Qian Nan also smiled coldly and said, ��This boast was over the top. We got to help him brag about it after going back! Otherwise, it can��t show the prowess of this grandmaster!��


    The moment Wu Jiang heard, a hint of a smile could not help surfacing on his face.


    Yeah, this boy embarrassed him so hard today. If he did not repay it, it would really let him down too much!


    Although on the surface he could not afford to provoke Ye Yuan, he could still play some cheap tricks in the dark.


    Such as letting everyone know about the brag that Ye Yuan made!


    At that time, see how this guy cleans up the mess!


    Furthermore, after Zuo Chen knew about this, he would definitely view Ye Yuan ��in a different light.��


    As for Zuo Chen��s face, sorry about it, that wasn��t our business anymore.


    He, Wu Jiang, had no relations with Zuo Chen whatsoever!


    After Wu Jiang and the others left, Hua Zong also led Ye Yuan away from the mountain pass gates.


    He noticed that although there was already no one maintaining order, these ten thousand people were still orderly.


    Furthermore, there were still many wounded people rushing over from all directions.


    Among them, some powerhouses even took the initiative to appear and help maintain order, classifying these wounded into categories.


    Seeing this scene, Hua Zong also sighed emotionally.


    He knew that Ye Yuan��s way of doing things was correct, but for some things, his strength fell short of his wishes too!.

 Chapter 2844 - Song Qingyang!

    ��Junior Apprentice Brother, you just entered the sect. Some things should originally not be said to you. But �� you caused a lot of trouble for Master!�� Hua Zong said with a solemn expression.


    ��Oh? Why do you say that?�� Ye Yuan said indifferently.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s appearance, Hua Zong was even angrier at his failure to live up to expectations.


    But Master repeatedly exhorted to definitely take good care of Junior Apprentice Brother. Clearly, he valued him greatly. So he could not flare up too.


    ��Junior Apprentice Brother just came to the sect. You��re probably not clear about many things yet. The Extreme Medicine Sect has many people, the factions standing in great numbers. Although these people��s


    cultivation realms aren��t high, they more or less have some forces behind them. You want to dispatch them to the front-lines. It��s probably not realistic! But, you already put the word out just now. Wu Jiang they all will


    definitely blow the matter up. At that time, we won��t be able to clean up the mess, and Master��s face will be utterly lost!�� Hua Zong said in a solemn voice.


    Hua Zong killed his way out from Saint Sovereign Heaven one step at a time too. That was how he was taken in as a disciple by Zuo Chen.


    With regards to the petty tricks of Wu Jiang these people, his heart was clear as a bright mirror.


    This kind of method to deal with Emperor Realm powerhouses, that was equivalent to seeking death.


    But, to a newbie who just entered the sect, it proved effective every time.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother, I feel that the Extreme Medicine Sect is still too easy and comfortable! At present, we��re being confronted by a formidable enemy, but the Extreme Medicine Sect


    hasn��t even gone to the front-lines. This isn��t appropriate! Wu Jiang they all are just the first batch. I feel that later, our Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples can be sent to the front-lines in batches. You got to know, that


    place is where you can increase strength the fastest!��


    Hua Zong opened his mouth wide, having a dumbfounded look on his face.


    Not answering the question!


    Forget about that; this kid actually still wanted to make everyone take a tour to the Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    Was he crazy?


    With just the likes of you, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Or did you think that you are the Extreme Medicine Sect��s sect master, and you are giving directions to the nation here?


    Hua Zong smiled bitterly and said, ��Junior Apprentice Brother, if this matter isn��t resolved, Master will be furious when the time comes. It isn��t a good thing to you either!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured. I have a score in my heart!��


    You have a score my *ss!


    Hua Zong secretly cursed in his heart. This brat was really hopeless!


    What kind of eyes did his master have to actually take fancy on this kind of fool?


    ��Brother will say up to here. Junior Apprentice Brother, take care of yourself!�� Hua Zong��s tone also became unfriendly.


    This kind of person who was rash and indiscreet, furthermore, closed his ears off to other people��s words, he really did not know what he should do.


    Hua Zong settled Ye Yuan down and immediately left.


    East Victory Mountain Range occupied a vast area with countless spiritual veins. Zuo Chen��s lineage also had their own dojo, Xuan Yang Peak.


    The residences of Ye Yuan and Yang Qing few people were on Xuan Yang Peak.


    After Ye Yuan returned to his own residence, a middle-aged man dressed in green Dao robes appeared out of thin air in the house just like that.


    ��Current sect master, Song Qingyang, pays respect to Martial Uncle!�� This middle-aged man actually directly clasped his hands and said to Ye Yuan.


    If someone was here, they would definitely be frightened until their jaws dropped.


    This middle-aged man in green shirt was an Emperor Sakra Heaven overlord, a grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven mighty expert, as well as the current sect master, Song Qingyang!


    He actually bowed to a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Of course, Song Qingyang��s face had some unnaturalness.


    Asupreme powerhouse like him carried out the etiquette of a disciple to a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven. He also had bitterness that he could not say out!


    Ancestor Cloudmount, his elderly self, really knew how to look for trouble, to actually take a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven in as a disciple!


    Wasn��t this killing people?


    Ye Yuan was currently in closed-seclusion and thinking. Hearing Song Qingyang��s voice, he slowly opened his eyes and said, ��I��ve troubled Lord Sect Master!��


    Song Qingyang hurriedly said, ��Martial Uncle is killing Qingyang. You��re Ancestor Cloudmount��s personal disciple, so you��re naturally Qingyang��s senior too. Some trivial matters are what Qingyang should do.��


    Song Qingyang coming over was naturally arranged by Zhou Pinespring.


    Zhou Pinespring reminded him repeatedly that this junior apprentice brother was remarkable and highly favored by Ancestor Cloudmount.


    Even if he was the sect master, he did not dare to be careless in front of Ye Yuan too.


    Even if he knew that Ye Yuan was a divergent cultivator.


    eally talking about it, Song Qingyang was Hegemon Cloudmount��s god knew how many generations of disciples already.


    But he already cultivated to grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven and could barely manage to call Cloudmount grandmaster.


    Therefore, when he saw Ye Yuan, he could only call martial uncle too.


    n the Extreme Medicine Sect, the sect master was not the real person in charge.


    Above the sect master, there were actually still two great powers.


    The first was naturally Hegemon Realms!


    And the second was the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    Only after that did it reach sect master.


    Inside the Extreme Light Pavilion were all some old monsters


    Some were former sect masters, and some were the sect��s elders, etc.


    However, those able to enter Emperor Sakra Heaven, the majority of their strength was grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    These people were in closed-seclusion all year round or wandering outside, assaulting that fleeting and ephemeral Hegemon Realm.


    The Extreme Light Pavilion��s other two Hegemon Realms originated from the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    And Zhou Pinespring was also a member of the Extreme Light Pavilion before promoting to Hegemon Realm.


    Ye Yuan was the person that Cloudmount appointed to enter the Extreme Light Pavilion. Regardless of seniority or authority, he was above Song Qingyang.


    Hence, he could only be careful.


    It was just that, being like this to a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, Song Qingyang felt very uncomfortable in his heart.


    ��Lord Sect Master doesn��t have to be like this. Although Ye Yuan��s realm is low, I��m not an insensible person. Normally, you can just treat me as an ordinary disciple. I��ll also be respectful to Lord Sect Master. I entered


    the Extreme Medicine Sect primarily to enter the Scripture Library. Hence, I��ll be entering closed-seclusion soon,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    After hearing this, Song Qingyang��s heart eased up slightly.


    He was afraid that this youth��s status was high and would carelessly interfere in the sect��s affairs.


    Then he, this sect master, would really be awkward.


    However, Ye Yuan entered the sect just to enter the Scripture Library?


    What was this playing at?


    Song Qingyang hurriedly said, ��Then I��ll have to make Martial Uncle feel wronged! The matter that happened outside the sect, Qingyang already knows. After arranging for Martial Uncle to enter the Extreme Light


    Pavilion, I��ll make the arrangements.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Many thanks, Lord Sect Master!��


    Song Qingyang nodded slightly and said, ��Then �� shall we enter the Extreme Light Pavilion right now?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Song Qingyang flicked his sleeves and disappeared with Ye Yuan.


    A figure took large strides into Wu Jiang��s residence and said with a loud laugh, ��Wu Jiang, I heard that you got taken care of by a Saint Sovereign Heaven? Hahaha, nice one!��


    This person was Wu Jiang��s diehard follower, Zhou Qun.


    Zhou Qun��s strength was not that strong, being comparable to Wu Jiang. But he was a capable person.


    In the Extreme Medicine Sect, some people were very well-informed. Zhou Qun was one of them.


    Hence, when Wu Jiang suffered a loss, he was the first to know.


    When Wu Jiang saw Zhou Qun, he snorted coldly and said, ��I was just about to go find you. You came just in time!��


    Zhou Qun smiled and said, ��Are you going to take this martial uncle of ours down a notch?��


    Wu Jiang smiled and said, ��It��s still you who understands me!��


    Zhou Qun chuckled and said, ��You rest assured. This is my specialty! In less than a day, this matter will definitely rage all over the city. Even those Emperor Realm powerhouses will know! At that time, I want to see how


    this martial uncle of ours gets down from the stage!��.

 Chapter 2845 - Exiled to Absolute Heaven Barrier!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Very soon, a piece of news spread like wildfire.


    Master Zuo Chen��s new disciple, grade five heavenly alchemist Ye Yuan, instructed to exile several hundred of the sect��s disciples to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    The moment the news came out, it immediately incurred a wave of ridicule and mockery.


    ��Who does he think he is? He can utter something that sounds so overconfident?��


    ��Huhu, he acknowledged an amazing teacher. It��s understandable.��


    ��Goodness gracious, if they got sent out, what to do about it in the future? Should we go to XuanYang Peak to grovel to this grandmaster?��


    ��How wise is Ancestor Zuo Chen? How did he accept a hothead as a disciple?��


    In less than half a day, this wind had already swept through the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    One should not look at how the Extreme Medicine Sect was huge. The speed of news spreading was not slow at all.


    In the Extreme Medicine Sect, going to the Absolute Heaven Barrier was a very taboo thing.


    After all, nobody wanted their own sect��s disciples to go to the front lines and court death.


    Of course, Extreme Medicine Sect had nearly half of its disciples that were resisting the blood race at the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    It was just that the disciples that went to the Absolute Heaven Barrier were mostly the warring faction, while most who stayed behind to defend the sect were from the conservative faction.


    Like Zuo Chen, he was a typical example of the warring faction.


    Over 70% of the disciples under him were at the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Therefore, although Xuan Yang Peak was big, there were actually not many people.


    The conservative faction��s opinion was not to fight but to groom a large number of powerhouses in the sect and accumulate strength.


    Over these years, the Extreme Medicine Sect strengthened the nurturing of martial arts and had indeed also groomed a large group of Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    This way, the conservative faction��s status became even more stable.


    Hence, Ye Yuan wanting to exile these people actually touched the interests of the conservative faction. They naturally would not let Ye Yuan get his way.


    Many Emperor Realm powerhouses also scoffed in derision when they received this news.


    A brat who was still wet behind his ears thought that he could cover the sky with one hand after entering the sect?


    Laughable!


    Why did Zuo Chen take in this kind of moron as a disciple?


    The news spread fervently, while Wu Jiang and Zhou Qun had smug faces.


    ��Martial Uncle Zhou��s ability is truly remarkable! It��s just been half a day, and that grandmaster of ours has already become the laughingstock of the entire sect!�� Qian Nan said ingratiatingly.


    Zhou Qun had a proud look as he said, ��A trivial matter! But this piece of news spreading so quickly wasn��t just my credit alone! Someone is adding fuel to the fire!��


    Wu Jiang nodded his head and said, ��Zuo Chen that old thing raises a hue and cry every day about making the sect��s disciples go to the front lines and deliver themselves to death. He��s very stubborn! It looks like this


    brat obtained his true legacy! But we have got to thank this brat too. Zuo Chen that old fellow is going to lose his face this time!��


    Speaking of this, Wu Jiang was very pleased with himself.


    When talking, he did not have the slightest respect for Zuo Chen this grandmaster either.


    In reality, they were very disgusted with Zuo Chen and could even be said to abhor him.


    Behind the scenes, they were not stingy with talking about these warring factions.


    Furthermore, news spread so quickly. Zhou Qun clearly did not have this much ability.


    There were Emperor Realm powerhouses adding fuel to the fire.


    Clearly, there were also people happy to see Zuo Chen get deflated.


    ��Serves him right! Zuo Chen that old thing keeps calling for us to go to the Absolute Heaven Barrier everyday. God knows how many people in the sect hate him to death and wish for him to die at the Absolute Heaven


    Barrier! This time, we can just nice watch a show!�� Zhou Qun also said with a look of contempt.


    Wu Jiang smiled and said, ��What��s laughable is that kid. Does he really think that just by having high seniority, he can cover the sky with one hand? Those more formidable than Zuo Chen in this Extreme Medicine Sect


    are not just one or two people! Oh right, Zhou Qun, who do you think gave us a push from behind this time?��


    Zhou Qun smiled and said, ��Asking me, don��t you know it? Apart from that one, who else could it be?��


    Wu Jiang laughed and said, ��Zuo Chen that old fogey repeatedly tried to drag Emperor Qin Shan into the water. Emperor Qin Shan has hated him to the core a long time ago! Apart from him, there��s really nobody else!


    After this time, that Ye Yuan will have a hard time in the sect. Maybe Emperor Qin Shan will find a reason and directly send that punk off to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.��


    Gong!


    The few people were currently laughing away when the door was directly kicked open by someone. A youth with a shoulder strap walked right in.


    Wu Jiang was just about to lose his temper, but when he saw the arrival, he could not help drawing a cold breath.


    A foreboding premonition welled up in his heart.


    ��S-Senior Apprentice Brother Ling gracing us with your presence, I wonder what instructions you have?�� Wu Jiang said with an ugly expression.


    The arrival was called Ling Jiang, a Law Enforcement Hall disciple.


    Law Enforcement Hall disciples had great authority. This Ling Jiang was in charge of the True Sovereign Heaven and below disciples of the few dojos nearby.


    Ling Jiang coming at this time, he probably came looking for trouble!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan that punk knew that he boasted too much, so he mobilized the Law Enforcement Hall to come deal with him?


    Until now, he also did not believe that Ye Yuan could exile all of them to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Such a large movement, it was bound to be unanimously opposed by the conservative faction.


    Previously, the warring faction had already done so. In the end, they naturally ran into a wall.


    Ling Jiang��s expression was frosty as he said, ��Wu Jiang, bring your men and assemble at Heart Serenity Peak, and immediately set off for the Absolute Heaven Barrier!��


    The expressions of the three people present changed wildly at the same time, their eyes full of shock.


    How was this possible?


    That brat really did it?


    Could it be that those Emperor Realm powerhouses all did not care?


    Could it be that the conservative faction was just passively watching the warring faction be pleased about it?


    ��I�� [want to meet Martial Uncle Yunhai!�� Wu Jiang gritted his teeth and said.


    Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouse, Zheng Yunhai, was Wu Jiang��s backer.


    At this time, it was impossible that he did not protect him!


    However, Ling Jiang still said coldly, ��Don��t bother. You don��t have to hold onto hope either. This order was personally passed down by Sect Master. No one can protect you!��


    ��What?! S-Sect Master?�� Wu Jiang somewhat doubted his own ears, his eyes full of shock.


    Why would Sect Master that kind of paramount existence care about this kind of trivial matter?


    This was impossible!


    But Wu Jiang knew that Ling Jiang absolutely would not joke about this.


    Nobody could afford to make this kind of joke!


    Although the sect master was not the supreme authority, Hegemon Realms and the Extreme Light Pavilion basically would not care about things.


    Under normal circumstances, Sect Master was the highest adjudicator in the Extreme Medicine Sect!


    No one dared to provoke his majesty!


    Ling Jiang said coldly, ��Wu Jiang, move faster. You only have an hour! If it��s delayed, you don��t have to go anymore either!��


    Finished saying, Ling Jiang turned around and left.


    He did not need to look at Wu Jiang either. No one dared to defy the Law Enforcement Hall��s orders.


    Otherwise, the consequences would be much more serious than going to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Wu Jiang��s heart turned ashen. This was not giving him any chance at all!


    But why was this happening?


    ��He �� He really did it? But why would it be Sect Master?�� Wu Jiang said with a look of despair.


    He made this matter known to everyone. Originally, he wanted to give Ye Yuan and Zuo Chen a slap.


    Slapping the face of an Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse, thinking about it made people a little excited.


    But now, the matter blew up so big. The one who got slapped was him instead?


    By the side, Zhou Qun��s expression was similarly very ugly.


    Achill ran down his spine. He seemed to have provoked a remarkable person.


    Him not getting named showed that he had escaped a calamity.


    But the matter of him spreading the news could be investigated as long as one had the intention of looking into it.


    ight now, he only wanted to become transparent!.

 Chapter 2846 - Little Martial Uncle!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Ye Yuan��s joke of wanting to exile Wu Jiang was currently being mocked by the entire sect.


    Very soon, another explosive news came.


    Wu Jiang those few hundred people were really exiled!


    That group of people who offended Ye Yuan in front of the mountain pass gates, none of them managed to escape!


    The Extreme Medicine Sect burst into an uproar from top to bottom!


    ��How did that boy do it? This time, it��s actually Saint Sovereign personally giving the order to punish a group of True Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens?��


    ��The boast that he made is really accomplished! This matter blew up so big. In the end, Wu Jiang himself became the biggest joke, how laughable!��


    ��No way, right? It��s a few hundred people. They got exiled just like that. Could it be that the Extreme Medicine Sect��s wind direction is starting to change?��


    ��In my view, this matter was likely Zuo Chen personally speaking up! He has extremely high hopes of advancing to grade nine heavenly alchemist. If he were to really fly off the handle, Sect Master has to give him some


    face too! It��s just that Zuo Chen pampers this little disciple a little too much, right?��


    With Sect Master personally giving the order, this caused a mighty uproar in the sect from top to bottom.


    Wu Jiang and the rest were merely a group of small fries. Nobody cared.


    Presently, at this critical juncture, such an order seriously made people��s minds fall into a reverie.


    All along, the conservative faction and warring faction could be said to act independently and defiantly.


    Sect Master��s attitude had always been impartial too.


    But this time, directly exiling a few hundred people, it was still the first time after the war!


    Although the Extreme Medicine Sect had close to half of its disciples at the Absolute Heaven Barrier, the vast majority voluntarily took part in the war.


    Those who were not willing to participate in the fight were usually not forced to, under normal circumstances.


    But this time, it changed!


    Did the wind change, or was it really just for a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    But no matter what, the boast that Ye Yuan put out was truly realized!


    The situation that Wu Jiang and Zhou Qun painstakingly created not only did not let Zuo Chen��s lineage become a joke, but it also fulfilled their wishes instead!


    Now, the entire sect knew that Zuo Chen won!


    Then would the warring faction have the upper hand?


    When Hua Zong heard this news, he was stunned.


    He wondered whether he heard wrongly or not.


    Saint Sovereign actually personally gave the order to exile Wu Jiang and the others for a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    He thought of Zuo Chen right away.


    Other than Zuo Chen, who else could have such power?


    But this also deeply reflected how much his master valued Ye Yuan!


    Third Senior Apprentice Brother, Zhu Yan, patted Hua Zong��s shoulder and said with a bitter smile, ��The few of us should go and meet this little junior brother together! Master has always taught us that apprentice


    brothers should help each other and be close as a family. But now, Little Junior Brother just entered the sect, and he got left out to dry by us. Most likely, his elderly self is very enraged, right?��


    There were five senior apprentice brothers present.


    Just earlier, they were still discussing how to deal with this matter.


    They did not expect that it had been resolved!


    Furthermore, it was even with such a fierce method!


    Zuo Chen took in a total of 16 disciples, but five had already died in battle.


    At present, there were five that remained in the sect, with Third Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu Yan as the eldest.


    The remaining were all following Zuo Chen to fight at Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    These 11 people, only Hua Zong alone was True Sovereign Heaven. The rest were all Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    When Zhu Yan and the rest heard about this, they were very angry too and did not have the intention of going to meet Ye Yuan at all.


    But now, reality slapped them in the face.


    Reality proved that Master��s concern toward Ye Yuan was even stronger than they imagined!


    Hua Zong smiled bitterly and said, ��We can only do this! It looks like this little junior brother of ours is really beloved by Master!��


    These words were a little sour.


    Zuo Chen��s requirements of them senior apprentice brothers were very stringent.


    He had never done this kind of pampering thing before.


    Zhu Yan and the others very naturally pinned this on Zuo Chen.


    Although they were also somewhat doubtful whether Zuo Chen had so much weight to make Sect Master personally give the order, this was the most logical explanation.


    Zhu Yan said coolly, ��Being able to be valued so much by Master, Little Junior Brother must have aspects that surpass others! Rather than being sour about it here, it��s better to work hard and increase our strength and


    strive to make Master view you in a different light! This time, Sect Master personally taking action might also be that the wind direction changed. Absolute Heaven Barrier��s war situation might not be optimistic!��


    Hua Zong was startled and hurriedly said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother lectured well. It was Junior Apprentice Brother who was rash!��


    The senior apprentice brothers five people came to find Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan was not around.


    Zhu Yan and the rest were afraid of new formed cracks forming between them and Ye Yuan and could not leave immediately either. They could only wait in Ye Yuan��s residence.


    At this time, Ye Yuan already entered the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    The Extreme Light Pavilion was formed in an independent space.


    When Ye Yuan entered inside, he only felt spiritual energy fill his body.


    The heaven and earth spiritual energies here were several dozen times that of the outside world!


    One had to know, the East Victory Mountain Range was one of Heaven One Continent��s limited major spiritual veins, its spiritual energy being extremely abundant.


    And the spiritual energy here was even more terrifying!


    The sun and moon circled this place, forming its own world. It was clearly an amazing work.


    Ye Yuan had a feeling that this place was where the Extreme Medicine Sect��s true foundation lay.


    Song Qingyang brought Ye Yuan and went straight into a great hall.


    Countless memorial tablets were enshrined in the great hall.


    Ye Yuan could not feel death qi from these memorial tablets. Instead, there was an incomparably sacred feeling!


    ��The Extreme Light Pavilion is where the foundation of the Extreme Medicine Sect lies. Only pavilion elders and the sect master have the qualification to enter this place! The memorial tablets enshrined here are all our


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s predecessors. Those whose cultivation reached grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven will leave behind a wisp of source aura on their deathbed. In the course of time, this place became


    the Extreme Medicine Sect��s land of destiny. Our Extreme Medicine Sect also prospered with each passing day! Although Ancestor Cloudmount said to let you enter the Extreme Light Pavilion, you must pay respects to


    the predecessors and obtain their recognition before you��re considered the Extreme Light Pavilion��s pavilion elder!�� Song Qingyang said.


    Ye Yuan��s heart also turned somber as he listened.


    There were no less than 3000 memorial tablets before this eyes!


    So many grand completion Emperor Sakra Heavens had actually appeared in the Extreme Medicine Sect!


    Ye Yuan heard Mi Tian said before that source aura was the crux to step into Hegemon Realm.


    Only by reaching grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven could one have the possibility of comprehending source aura.


    Such a precious thing, these predecessors could actually bear to leave them in their own memorial tablets.


    It was also no wonder that the present Extreme Medicine Sect was like the noonday sun!


    ��Yoo, this is the new disciple that Master newly accepted? Just Saint Sovereign Heaven, Master his elderly self is really impressive, to actually find such a brat for me to be a junior apprentice brother!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s eyes blurred, an old man who was emaciated like a stick appeared in front of him, sizing him up and down with a hint of amusement in his eyes.


    This old man gave Ye Yuan an unfathomable feeling.


    Although he was the same as Song Qingyang, both grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven, Ye Yuan had a feeling that he was much more powerful than Song Qingyang!


    Ye Yuan felt that this person might be able to break through to Hegemon Realm at any time!


    When Song Qingyang saw the old man, he immediately bowed and said, ��Disciple Song Qingyang pays respect to Pavilion Elder Clearcloud! Martial Uncle Ye, this is Ancestor Cloudmount��s eldest disciple, your eldest


    senior brother, Li Clearcloud!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart turned somber, and he said with a bow, �� Ye Yuan offered greetings to Eldest Senior Brother!��


    Li Clearcloud��s mouth curled, and he suddenly yelled loudly, ��Little bastards, all come out for me and pay respect to your little martial uncle! Do you all think that you can get through this hurdle? Humph humph, if that


    old fellow finds out, you guys will get it!��


    With his roar, one figure after another suddenly appeared in the great hall, their expressions very awkward.


    Each and every one of those who came out had extremely powerful auras. But compared to Li Clearcloud, they were still a notch inferior.


    But, compared to Song Qingyang, they were significantly stronger.


    One look and you could tell that these people were very old, it was just that their expressions were a little ugly.


    ��P-Paying respects to Little Martial Uncle!�� An old man with age spots all over his face bowed toward Ye Yuan with an embarrassed look..

 Chapter 2847 - Power of Blessing!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    ��Paying respect to Little Martial Uncle!��


    ��Paying respect to Little Martial Uncle!��


    These extremely old Extreme Light Pavilion pavilion elders all bowed towards Ye Yuan with unwilling expressions.


    But in their hearts, they had cursed Hegemon Cloudmount several times over.


    This old man actually took a Saint Sovereign Heaven in as a disciple. Where would their old faces go?


    A bunch of old men with half a foot into Hegemon Realm actually called a Saint Sovereign Heaven as their martial uncle.


    The scene was too beautiful until you did not dare to look.


    Seeing these people��s behavior, Song Qingyang immediately felt much more comfortable in his heart.


    Meanwhile, Li Clearcloud secretly sighed in relief.


    Luckily Your Father joined early. Otherwise, I would also have to call this little fellow martial uncle like this bunch of little bastards.


    ��These guys�� seniority, they are all very low. It��s just because they cultivated to grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven and also entered the Emperor Sakra Heaven that they can call you as their martial uncle.


    Otherwise, they won��t even be able to call you that,�� Li Clearcloud said casually.


    By the side, the old faces of the group of pavilion elders turned bright red.


    In front of Li Clearcloud, they really did not have the capital to be proud.


    ��Your matters, Zhou Pinespring that little imp has already told me. You��re very good! This time, you��ve rendered great contributions for the alliance! Them calling you their martial uncle is also worthwhile. In our


    lineage, there are only me and Zhou Pinespring two people left. The rest are all dead. So right now, in the Extreme Medicine Sect, apart from that old man, me, and that little rascal, your seniority is the highest,


    understand?�� Li Clearcloud continued explaining.


    ��Many thanks for explaining, Eldest Apprentice Brother.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, but he was very shocked in his heart.


    He naturally understood what the phrase all dead that Li Clearcloud talked about meant.


    As long as one did not reach the Hegemon Realm, there would always be Dao tribulation falling!


    Furthermore, it would get stronger and stronger!


    eaching grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven, cultivation realm could not rise anymore. There was only overcoming tribulation continuously.


    Therefore, those disciples of Hegemon Cloudmount all died under the Dao tribulations!


    But Li Clearcloud entered his tutelage the earliest, and yet, he was still alive all the way until now.


    it could be seen how terrifying his strength was!


    tt was just that Ye Yuan was very puzzled. Li Clearcloud was so heaven-defying. Why could he not break through to the Hegemon Realm.


    Li Clearcloud seemed to have seen through Ye Yuan��s puzzlement and said with a disdainful look, ��Zhou Pinespring that rascal thinks that his talent is outstanding. Actually, it��s also just like that. Talent this kind of thing


    can��t be eaten as food! Immense accumulations erupting, understand? Your Eldest Senior Brother, me, my talent isn��t great, but I win in that I advanced gradually and entrenched myself at every step, walking step by


    step until today. I��ve outlasted all the people in the same generation till they died. I��ve also weathered out those younger than me! Furthermore, barring no accident, I��ll outlast you too! Hahaha����


    ��Don��t look at how your Eldest Senior Brother, I, am inferior to Zhou Pinespring that rascal currently. Once I break through to the Hegemon Realm, I can beat him until he has to look all over the ground for his teeth!


    Furthermore, don��t look at how I haven��t reached the Hegemon Realm. If I really fight, I��m not weaker than some of the weaker Hegemon Realms! I can barely be considered a Hegemon Realm too!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he grinned and said, ��Eldest Senior Brother, you might not be able to outlast me!��


    Li Clearcloud smiled and said, ��Divergent cultivators all say that, but in the end, they all died! Since time immemorial, grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven divergent cultivators have appeared before. But Hegemon


    Realm divergent cultivators had never appeared before! Therefore, I can definitely outlast you!��


    Ye Yuan was still unmoved and said with a light smile, ��Then let��s wait and see.��


    Li Clearcloud smiled and said, ��You brat, you��re indeed a little interesting. No wonder that old man took fancy on you. Uh, enough nonsense. Step forward and pay respects to the forefathers! Be careful. This hurdle


    isn��t easy to get through!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and walked over toward the memorial tablets.


    There was a futon placed before the memorial tablets.


    Ye Yuan arrived before the futon and knelt straight down.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Ye Yuan gave three kowtows toward the memorial tablets and could not help feeling somewhat perplexed in his heart.


    Wasn��t it said that it was difficult to pass?


    It seemed like �� there were no surprises. Could it be that it had not arrived yet?


    ��Eldest Senior Brother, did I do anything wrong? Mn? Eldest Senior Brother?�� Ye Yuan got up, turned to look at Li Clearcloud, and suddenly discovered that Li Clearcloud was staring at him dumbfoundedly.


    Not just him, all of the pavilion elders present as well as Song Qingyang, all had an expression like they had seen a ghost.


    Ye Yuan was currently feeling uncertain in his heart when the entire great hall suddenly lit up.


    He could not help turning around to look and discovered that those several thousand memorial tablets all gave off a dazzling light.


    Ye Yuan felt as if a profound and inscrutable thing had descended on his body.


    As for what this was, Ye Yuan could not put his finger to it either.


    But Ye Yuan felt that there was an additional trace of vague connection between him and these memorial tablets.


    His brows furrowed slightly, could it be that this was the test?


    ��Eldest Senior Brother ����


    When he turned to look at Li Clearcloud again, Ye Yuan discovered that the expressions on his face became even more exaggerated.


    That kind of shock already could not use words to describe.


    Ye Yuan had a blank look, not knowing what was going on.


    Very soon, those lights dimmed down. But that trace of vague connection was still there.


    Ye Yuan looked toward Li Clearcloud, quietly waiting for his explanation.


    Li Clearcloud swallowed his saliva hard and revolved around Ye Yuan a few times, as if wanting to see through Ye Yuan.


    ��It shouldn��t be!��


    ��How is this possible?��


    ��No matter how I look, there��s also nothing out of the ordinary!��


    ��What right does this kid have to surpass me?��


    As he looked, Li Clearcloud shook his head, his mouth muttering non-stop.


    How could Ye Yuan still not understand? He seemed to have done something incredible.


    However, he really did not know what had happened.


    Suddenly, Li Clearcloud moved closer to Ye Yuan and asked, ��You punk, are you a freak? No matter how I look, you��re also not that kind of world-shocking genius! Why can you get all the predecessors�� recognition?��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Is all the predecessors�� recognition very hard?��


    Li Clearcloud jumped right up and scolded, ��Brat, stop posturing! The recognition of all the predecessors isn��t hard. It��s simply impossible! There are a total of 3892 memorial tablets here. As long as you obtain the


    recognition of one-fifth, it��s considered passing the test. But nobody has ever obtained all the recognition! Do you know who obtained the most recognition before you?��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��That must be you, Eldest Senior Brother!��


    Li Clearcloud smacked his thigh and said, ��Hah! Boy, you��re really clever! Senior Brother, I, obtained a total of 3023 predecessors�� recognition. It��s even more than our master! Zhou Pinespring that rascal, there��s even


    less need to talk about him. There were only 2631! What capability do you, boy, have? To actually pass with all the votes?��


    Ye Yuan had a blank look and asked, ��What does this recognition represent? Just what kind of test is this?��


    He still could not make neither head nor tail until now and completely did not know what it was testing.


    ��Little Martial Uncle, the Extreme Light Pavilion��s test actually places the most weight on character and disposition! Of course, talent, potential, and other aspects all have a comprehensive consideration. This is a


    feeling from the unseen world. It can��t be described with words. If one has to say it in words, it��s making more predecessors like you and bestow upon you the power of blessing!��


    ��Of course, making everyone like you is something impossible! Therefore, the predecessors who don��t like you will stand in the way of you paying homage. If the predecessors that like you are a lot, it will naturally press


    down this obstruction. But the strange thing is that when you were paying homage earlier, there was actually no obstruction at all! Furthermore, you obtained the blessing power of all the predecessors! This �� is too


    inconceivable!��


    Song Qingyang explained, his words carrying immense shock.


    Truly, they had never heard before of anyone who could accomplish this.


    What was the most difficult thing in the world?


    That was naturally to make everyone like you!


    Although the predecessors could not represent everyone, but making over 3800 predecessors like you at the same time, this was absolutely something extremely difficult.


    But Ye Yuan did it!.

 Chapter 2848 - Coincidental and Inevitable!

    Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


    Hearing Song Qingyang��s explanation, Ye Yuan seemed to have understood something.


    The reason why he obtained the unanimous recognition of these predecessors, it was probably still because of the striking righteous air that existed in his body!


    Walking all the way here, Ye Yuan had saved the common people from misery and suffering time and again, developing an impressive righteous air.


    Not just that, in these two lifetimes, the people that Ye Yuan saved with Alchemy Dao could not be counted at all.


    There were likely not many cultivators that could match up to his merit.


    Cultivators were mostly selfish.


    The stronger one was, the more they tended to consider their own interests.


    But Ye Yuan sought a clear conscience when doing things.


    Just like outside the mountain pass gates, it originally did not concern Ye Yuan, but he meddled in other people��s business.


    The power of origin stowed in these memorial tablets were originally masterless objects. But they had already formed a unified whole. It could form some kind of resonance with this striking righteous air that Ye Yuan


    developed unknowingly.


    Thus, that was how Ye Yuan obtained all of the predecessors�� recognition.


    ��What��s blessing power?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    ��Do you feel that you��ve established a trace of connection with these memorial tablets?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head, Li Clearcloud continued, ��These predecessors�� memorial tablets carry the destiny of the sect. Therefore, your destiny will also be bound together in a common cause with the sect. The


    stronger the sect is, the stronger your destiny too. Similarly, your destiny will also nourish the sect!��


    ��In addition, when you encounter a desperate situation, it will automatically trigger this mysterious power, and the predecessors will block the fatal blow for you! Although the strength of the predecessors who left


    behind the origin power didn��t reach Hegemon Realm, after so many years of accumulation, the power formed by these memorial tablets already reached a very terrifying level. It absolutely won��t lose to top Hegemon


    Realm powerhouses!��


    ��Of course, the power of blessing still has the most important function, which is helping you comprehend the power of origin! Over 3000 Great Daos; over 3000 origin power! That��s an endless fortune.��


    Ye Yuan was also incredibly shocked when he heard.


    He did not expect that this power of blessing was actually so monstrous.


    He also finally understood why the Extreme Medicine Sect was so powerful.


    Wanting to step into the Hegemon Realm, the power of origin was a hurdle that could not be avoided.


    But the power of blessing could actually help comprehend the power of origin!


    Actually, before the war with the blood race, the Extreme Medicine Sect already faintly showed signs of being Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s number one great sect.


    Four great Hegemons, this was something that no Hegemon level sect had!


    f time was given, it might not be impossible for the Extreme Medicine Sect to grow into a super sect like the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    ��In that case, Eldest Senior Brother being able to transcend the Dao tribulation many times is also because of the power of blessing?�� Ye Yuan looked toward Li Clearcloud and said with a smile.


    Li Clearcloud nodded and said, ��That��s right!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then I wonder how my power of blessing compares to Eldest Senior Brother?��


    Li Clearcloud��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��There��s no comparison! Because nobody has ever received the blessing of all the predecessors!��


    Ye Yuan beamed and said, ��In that case, I��ll be much more confident when facing the heavenly punishment in the future? It looks like it won��t be easy for Eldest Senior Brother to want to outlast me!��


    Li Clearcloud��s expression turned blacker.


    He got slapped in the face!


    But, Li Clearcloud knew that what Ye Yuan said was right!


    His power of blessing was far worse than Ye Yuan��s.


    But even so, he still relied on the power of blessing and lived until now.


    Then what about Ye Yuan?


    Thinking about it, he shook his head again and said, ��It��s no use! Although the power of blessing is strong, no matter how strong it is, it��s also not stronger than Heavenly Dao! If Heaven wants to eliminate you, it��s


    useless no matter how strong the power of blessing is!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��There��s no point in arguing. Wouldn��t we know if we test it out?��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s figure flashed, and he went out of the great hall.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s aura rose crazily. He was actually going to break through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    In reality, Ye Yuan could have broken through long ago.


    It was just that taking the initiative to call down heavenly punishment the last time made Ye Yuan almost lose his life.


    The Dao tribulation this time was even stronger than before. It was at least eight-nine Dao tribulation. Hence, Ye Yuan needed to store up and accumulate strength.


    At present, with the power of blessing, Ye Yuan naturally did not have so many misgivings anymore.


    Rumble!


    Dao tribulation arrived as expected.


    The terrifying pressure made even Li Clearcloud give a sidelong glance.


    ��How did this boy provoke Heavenly Dao? A mere middle Saint Sovereign Heaven is actually going to transcend eight-nine Dao tribulation!�� Li Clearcloud also said in surprise.


    It was not that he had not seen before divergent cultivators. But, such a freakish divergent cultivator, it was really still his first time seeing.


    Eight-nine Dao tribulation, normally, only True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses had the qualifications to transcend it.


    Furthermore, it was even slightly stronger lower True Sovereign Heavens.


    Boom!


    Very soon, Dao tribulation fell, the power was even greater than before.


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan brought out the Dao sword and slashed a sword on the Dao tribulation.


    The Dao tribulation collapsed with a loud bang.


    Ye Yuan had a stunned look. When did his Dao sword become so strong?


    Following that, one Dao tribulation after another fell down.


    Ye Yuan chopped out with a sword again. The Dao tribulation collapsed once more.


    Ye Yuan was utterly dumbfounded. Was this the mysterious power of the blessing power?


    But he clearly did not feel that he was more powerful.


    The power of his Dao sword was still the same as before, but why could he shatter the Dao tribulation so easily?


    By the side, Li Clearcloud��s eyes went wide.


    ��What kind of bullshit sword technique is this boy using? Each sword slashed onto the weak spot of the Dao tribulation! This boy clearly doesn��t have such sharp eyesight, but he could accomplish this. Even if it��s the


    power of blessing, this is also too monstrous, right?�� Li Clearcloud said indignantly.


    Eight-nine Dao tribulation, it was just some rule power descending. It was not invulnerable.


    These Dao tribulations were masterless things without consciousness. It was naturally impossible for there to be no flaws in the utilization of rules.


    Therefore, Dao tribulation had weak points too!


    It was just that to Ye Yuan, it was simply impossible to discover these weak points.


    Unless one reached an extremely high realm and had an extremely deep comprehension of rule power, only then could one detect it.


    Only then could one resolve a major problem with little effort, easily shattering the Dao tribulation.


    But each of Ye Yuan��s sword moves chopped on the weak point of the Dao tribulations randomly.


    If this kind of strange thing happened once in a while, forget it. But, it actually happened to Ye Yuan for every sword.


    A coincidental thing became an inevitable thing. This was terrifying!


    How sharp were Li Clearcloud��s eyes? He saw through the root of Ye Yuan being able to easily shatter the Dao tribulations with a glance.


    It was just that he was incomparably shocked in his heart.


    The enhancement of this power of blessing was also too scary, right?


    Song Qingyang was stunned too. Ye Yuan��s strength was clear to him at a glance as well.


    This eight-nine Dao tribulation was absolutely not easy for him.


    But now, it was like a piece of cake.


    When could Dao tribulations be overcome like this too?


    ��This luck is too heaven-defying! Even if there��s the enhancement of the power of blessing, it shouldn��t be like this too! Most likely, this boy��s own destiny is extremely strong to begin with. Now, with the blessing power


    of all the predecessors enhancing, that��s why it��s terrifying to such an extent!��


    The corners of Song Qingyang��s mouth twitched a few times, his expression seemingly strange as he said, ��Right now, if lower True Sovereign Heavens were to fight with Ye Yuan, they would probably vomit blood,


    right?��.

 Chapter 2849 - Bullying to the Doorstep!

    Chapter 2849 Bullying to the Doorstep!


    ��A great destiny wielder plus the power of blessing, this �� simply has no solution!��


    ��Not just lower True Sovereign Heaven, I��m afraid that if middle True Sovereign Heaven encounters this boy, they will vomit blood too!�� ��Yeah! Although Ye Yuan can��t do anything to a middle True Sovereign Heaven, if the middle True Sovereign Heaven wants to kill him, it��s simply dreaming!��


    ��I suspect that if this boy goes to a mystic realm right now, will he be able to find treasures if he went to relieve himself?��


    Those martial nephews of Ye Yuan were rambling away, finding it hard to hide the shock in their hearts.


    This luck was really going to defy the heavens.


    One could say that the entire Extreme Medicine Sect was standing behind Ye Yuan now! Wanting to kill him, you would have to ask the Extreme Medicine Sect��s predecessors!


    With the augmentation of the sect��s destiny, it would be hard even if Ye Yuan wanted to die!


    These grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses were all envious until they wanted to smack Ye Yuan to death.


    Very soon, the tribulation clouds scattered in disgrace, as if feeling some kind of deep helplessness too.


    Ye Yuan��s realm also broke through smoothly, reaching upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    He came before Li Clearcloud rather excitedly and said with a smile, ��Eldest Senior Brother, this power of blessing is really very useful! When you transcend tribulation, is it like this too?��


    Li Clearcloud��s face turned black, immediately wanting to ignore Ye Yuan.


    Was it like this?


    Yes!


    But it was already very impressive to have one time under ten rounds of Dao tribulation.


    He was simply cheating!


    If he transcended tribulations like this for all future realms, then would the first divergent cultivator Hegemon in history be born?


    It was not impossible!


    He thought that the bet that Ye Yuan made with him would only be realized after a very long time.


    He did not expect that the face-slapping came so quickly!


    It was likely not easy to outlast Ye Yuan!


    He was a wielder of great destiny to begin with. Now, having obtained the power of blessing too, it would really be hard to die even if he wanted to.


    Swoosh!


    Li Clearcloud threw a small and exquisite jade sword over, saying in a muffled voice, ��I don��t want to talk to you. Take this jade sword and hurry up and go! Also, don��t come to the Extreme Light Pavilion if you have nothing to do. Either way, your realm is still lacking. It��s no use to come here too!�� The others nodded one after another, deeply feeling that way too.


    This guy seemed to purely be here to bully people!


    Finished saying, Li Clearcloud did not give Ye Yuan the chance to talk at all, flicking his sleeves. Ye Yuan was sent out of the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space.


    ����


    ��Ouch!��


    Ye Yuan plopped his buttocks onto the ground and grimaced in pain.


    This Li Clearcloud was really merciless!


    Ye Yuan felt that he was very innocent. Wasn��t it just transcending a tribulation? Was there a need for each and every one of you to look like you��re bound by a common hatred for an enemy?


    Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings. He returned to his residence.


    The means of an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse was really fantastical.


    Even with his spatial rule attainments, he did not figure out how he returned.


    He was holding the Extreme Light Jade Sword in his hand. This was the token of an Extreme Light Pavilion��s pavilion elder��s identity and also the key to enter the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    The location of the Extreme Light Pavilion was very secret. Ordinary people did not know at


    all.


    However, Ye Yuan had the Extreme Light Jade Sword in his hands. As long as it was within the boundary of the Extreme Medicine Sect, he could enter the Extreme Light Pavilion at any time.


    With the Extreme Light Jade Sword, Ye Yuan was one of the most powerful people in the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan heard a din outside.


    ��Zhu Yan, after messing around for a long time, this little junior brother of yours is a coward!�� ��It��s also just bullying some juniors. When it really comes down to exchanging blows with his peers, he doesn��t even dare to let out a fart!��


    ��Martial Uncle Zuo Chen is so protective of him like a hen protecting her chicks. I was wondering what kind of alchemy genius he was. After messing around for a long time, he doesn��t even dare to show his face.��


    At this time, Xuan Yang Peak was surrounded by many people. Most were Emperor Realm powerhouses. There was also a minority who were True Sovereign Heavens.


    But the words were rather impolite.


    Zhu Yan��s brows were tightly furrowed, and he said, ��Wang Lin, stop showing off here! If you have the ability, let��s have a contest! Little Junior Brother just entered the sect, and you all are bullying to the doorstep like this. Do you really treat our lineage like we have nobody?��


    But Wang Lin was not angry and said with a smile, ��My Junior Apprentice Brother Lu is grade five realm too. How can fighting with a peer be bullying to the doorstep? You all don��t even dare to have this kind of competition. Are you not cowardly turtles? Zhu Yan, if you were to admit that your lineage��s people are all cowards in front of all the senior and junior apprentice brothers, we can turn around and leave!��


    The expressions of Zhu Yan and the few senior apprentice brothers were ugly to the extreme. While by the side, Hua Zong��s face was flushed red, wishing to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    This Wang Lin was Emperor Qin Shan��s eldest disciple.


    Emperor Qin Shan was Emperor Zuo Chen��s sworn enemy.


    The two people��s strengths were comparable, and their status in the sect was similar too. They were also backbone figures of the conservative and warring factions. They could be said to be incompatible like water and fire.


    Previously, Emperor Qin Shan added fuel to the fire with regards to Ye Yuan��s matter, planning on making Zuo Chen lose a great deal of face. In the end, he himself ended up dusty and dirty in appearance. Everyone was perfectly clear about those affairs in the sect.


    Having lost so much face, Qin Shan was naturally not willing to let the matter go.


    Just nice, his youngest disciple exited seclusion and his alchemy path strength improved greatly, so he came to bully to the doorstep.


    Who was his youngest disciple?


    Lu Daoyi, Extreme Medicine Sect��s grade five heavenly alchemists�� number one person!


    Before Ye Yuan entered the sect, Lu Daoyi was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s man of the hour.


    He challenged the entire Extreme Medicine Sect��s grade five heavenly alchemists by himself!


    In alchemy, he could be said to have fought all over the Extreme Medicine Sect and was unrivaled!


    Even many grade six heavenly alchemists were not his match either.


    Back then, Zuo Chen and Qin Shan were both very optimistic about Lu Daoyi and wanted to take him in as a disciple.


    As a result, Lu Daoyi still chose Qin Shan in the end.


    After he got the title of number one grade five, he immediately went into closed-seclusion.


    This closed-seclusion was ten years long!


    Just a few days ago, Lu Daoyi just exited seclusion. Before he could display his ability, Ye Yuan just happened to have arrived.


    Under Qin Shan��s hastening of influence, Ye Yuan merely entered the sect for less than half a day and was already the man of the hour in the entire Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Qin Shan naturally could not swallow this insult. Didn��t he send Lu Daoyi to come and challenge him?


    It was just nice. It also let Lu Daoyi display his strength after leaving seclusion!


    On the one hand, it showed that he, Qin Shan, could teach disciples. On the other hand, it was also to let the conservation faction obtain more say.


    You look, only by secretly developing in the rear, could one produce experts!


    Of course, Lu Daoyi did not let Qin Shan down either.


    He came to Xuan Yang Peak to challenge Ye Yuan. In the end, Ye Yuan just happened to have gone to the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    Zhu Yan and the rest just happened to be here. It was naturally impossible to let Ye Yuan, this newcomer disciple, step forward.


    Lu Daoyi did not talk rubbish either, directly issuing Hua Zong a challenge letter to compete in alchemy with him.


    In the end, Lu Daoyi won!


    His alchemy strength already surpassed Hua Zong all-round!


    A grade five heavenly alchemist actually defeated a grade six heavenly alchemist. How could this not make people sigh with admiration?


    One had to know that Hua Zong was not an ordinary grade six heavenly alchemist. He could be ranked within the entire sect.


    Otherwise, why would he have been accepted by Zuo Chen as a cross-generation disciple?


    In order to slap the face of Zuo Chen��s lineage, Wang Lin deliberately spread the news and attracted many sect powerhouses.


    In the end, Lu Daoyi shocked the world in one battle, crushing Hua Zong!


    Hence, that was why Hua Zong was so ashamed.


    Hua Zong��s fists were clenched tightly as he said, ��Third Senior Brother, it��s all my fault! If my strength wasn��t lacking, we also wouldn��t be humiliated by people like this!��


    Zhu Yan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Striving harder after knowing humiliation is what a real man does!��


    Hua Zong clenched his jaws tightly and nodded his head. But Zhu Yan felt a headache too. This situation currently was not easy to resolve! At this time, a voice broke the silence, ��Hey, each and every one of you, what are you quarreling about at my residence? You guys, do you still want people to cultivate or not? Do you have any civic-mindedness or not?��


    The moment Hua Zong looked, he could not help staying dumbfoundedly, ��Little Junior Brother? W-When did you come back?��


    With this, everyone��s gazes all looked toward Ye Yuan simultaneously with a whoosh.

 Chapter 2850 - Didn’t Think That You’re This Kind of Person!

    Translator :Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    Previously, Ye Yuan was clearly not at his residence.


    With so many people surrounding here, where did Ye Yuan pop out from?


    Even Zhu Yan, this Emperor Realm powerhouse, was very surprised too. He did not detect Ye Yuan��s return in the slightest.


    But Wang Lin and the rest seemed to be greatly invigorated.


    The perpetrator came out!


    Aren��t you, Zuo Chen, amazing? Don��t you dote on this disciple?


    Today, I��m going to slap your face ruthlessly in front of the entire sect!


    Wang Lin looked toward Zhu Yan with a look of amusement and said, ��Didn��t you say that he wasn��t around? Now, what do you still have to say?��


    Zhu Yan had an awkward look. Looking toward Ye Yuan, he had a look of anger from his failure to live up to expectations.


    Didn��t you know how to hide for a bit?


    Running out at this time, wouldn��t it confirm ��cowardly turtle�� this term?


    Lu Daoyi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a snicker, ��You��re Ye Yuan? I even thought about what kind of incredible genius you were. After messing around for a long time, it��s just a cowardly turtle!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Lu Daoyi and said coolly, ��Who are you?��


    Lu Daoyi smiled smugly and said, ��Don��t know who I am? Listen up. I��m Lu Daoyi, Extreme Medicine Sect��s grade five heavenly alchemist��s number one person! Very soon, I��ll become the number one person among grade six heavenly alchemists! I only have one goal, and that��s


    Ancestor Pinespring! I��ll step into profound grade before stepping into


    Emperor Realm!��


    Got to say, this self-introduction was very impressive.


    It was because daring to put Zhou Pinespring as a goal was a very courageous thing in the first place.


    Furthermor&, Lu Daoyi had this capital.


    He was just grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven and already defeated a powerhouse like Hua Zong.


    When he reached grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, he might not be unable to step into profound grade.


    Logically speaking, Lu Daoyi should be hated by many for being so arrogant.


    But there was none at all!


    ��Lu Daoyi really underwent a complete change after the closed-seclusion this time! I didn��t expect that he set Ancestor Pinespring as his goal!��


    ��It ?ounds very arrogant, but it��s really very promising! I heard that Ancestor Pinespring could already defeat the top grade six heavenly alchemists in the sect when he was at grade five realm!��


    ��Martial Uncle Qin Shan took in a good disciple! Although we��re grade seven realm, we might get caught up to by him if we��re careless!��


    In the battle previously, Lu Daoyi exhibited a formidable alchemy path strength.


    After ten years of closed-seclusion, he really underwent a complete transformation, shocking the world with one battle!


    Even the Zhou Pinespring back then was likely not much stronger than Lu Daoyi.


    Maybe when Lu Daoyi reached grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, he would really step into profound grade.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he chuckled inwardly.


    Was profound grade very hard?


    He said coolly, ��So incredible? Since you��re already number one, what did you come to find me for?��


    Lu Daoyi said coolly, ��I just exited seclusion a few days ago and heard that a peerless genius at the same rank joined the sect. I naturally have to come and defeat him! Otherwise, how can my title of number one be confirmed? But, seeing you, I��m very disappointed! You��re not worthy to be my opponent at all!��


    These words were partly true and partly false.


    He indeed looked down on Ye Yuan, feeling that Ye Yuan was not worhy of being his opponent.


    But the other half was in order to infuriate Ye Yuan and then to slap his face mercilessly in front of everyone.


    This way, it would feel amazing!


    Who would have expected that Ye Yuan did not continue at all and said coolly, ��Oh, since that��s the case, then what are you still waiting here for? You can go.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone could not help being stupefied.


    So cowardly?


    Even Zhu Yan and the rest were also stunned.


    Following, they felt so ashamed.


    Why did their master take in such a disciple? He was too lacking in gutsk?


    If Lu Daoyi was True Sovereign Heaven, then forget it. But Lu Daoyi was just Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Even if he clearly knew that he was not a match, he also could not concede defeat under this kind of circumstances!


    Otherwise, how would others view their master? How would people view you?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan had just entered the sect for a day. Even if he lost, it was not considered disgraceful either.


    But Ye Yuan did not follow up at all!


    They were disappointed, unbelievably disappointed!


    Lu Daoyi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a big laugh, ��In that case, you admit defeat?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I never said this.��


    Lu Daoyi was stupefied again and said, ��Since you��re not admitting defeat, then compete in a match!��


    Ye Yuan continued to shake his head and said, ��Leave. I won��t compete with you. Because there��s no meaning at all.��


    Lu Daoyi could not help laughing as he said, ��In that case, you��re being completely shameless?��


    ��Whatever you think.�� Ye Yuan had waned interest and turned around and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded-looking crowd.


    This Lu Daoyi could not muster up his interest at all. Ye Yuan did not even have the desire to slap Lu Daoyi��s face. Was winning Hua Zong very impressive?


    Was sating Zhou Pinespring as a goal very impressive?


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s behavior was simply stubbornly hanging on in the view of the others!


    Clearly not a match and did not even dare to compete, but was not willing to admit defeat.


    It was difficult for this kind of person to have great accomplishments!


    ��I even thought what kind of remarkable disciple Martial Uncle Zuo Chen took in! Looking at it now, it��s simply disgraceful!��


    ��Even if he loses after competing in a match, we won��t look down on him either. At least, he had the courage! But now, he��s clearly not a match and even refused to admit defeat, huhu!��


    ��Wll!t the hell! Martial Uncle Zuo is really blind, bringing a coward back and even protecting him like a treasure!��


    Ye Yuan��s departure set up a mighty storm.


    Zhu Yan and the rest wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    This was a complete and utter humiliation!


    After Wu Jiang and the others were exiled, their perception of Ye Yuan immediately improved significantly. But now, it immediately returned to before emancipation.


    No, it was even worse than before emancipation!


    This was not losing your own face; this was losing their master��s face!


    Lu Daoyi laughed loudly and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Zhu Yan, Uncle Zuo Chen was wise all his life, but I didn��t expect that he would have times where he��s blind too! This kind of trash, I, Lu Daoyi, don��t even have the desire to smack his face! Senior Apprentice Brother Wang, let��s go!��


    Wang Lin smiled and said, ��Indeed, this kind of person, Junior Apprentice Brother will be bringing disgrace upon yourself by taking action. Let��s go!��


    As he said, Qin Shan��s lineage left straightaway.


    There was already no need to compete in this match.


    The effect was far better than beating Ye Yuan.


    Zuo Chen��s lineage probably would not be able to lift their heads for a very long time.


    Furthermore, Lu Daoyi defeating Hua Zong in this battle would surely shock the entire sect!


    Their goal had already been achieved.


    At Ye Yuan��s residence, Zhu Yan was very unhappy and said in a solemn voice, ��Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, how can you be like this?


    You got to know that who you��re representing isn��t just yourself. There��s also Master! If you admit defeat, fine then. But you didn��t concede and also did not accept the challenge. Master��s face has been utterly lost by you!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said smilingly, ��Third Senior Brother, I really can��t muster interest in that Lu Daoyi. Competing with him is a complete waste of time!��


    Zhu Yan was stunned and could not help laughing as he said, ��In that case, you feel that you��re better than him?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head naturally and said, ��That��s of course.��


    Zhu Yan��s smile became a sneer and said, ��Since you��re stronger than him, why didn��t you compete then?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Because he��s too weak!��


    Zhu Yan could not resist laughing loudly and said, ��Hahaha, even your Senior Apprentice Brother, I, don��t dare to say that Lu Daoyi is weak. You��re actually saying that he��s weak? Junior Apprentice Brother, you disappoint me too much! I really didn��t expect that you��re such a person!��


    Finished saying, Zhu Yan flicked his sleeves and left!.

 Chapter 2851 - Shooting Down an Ancestor!

    Chapter 2851 Shooting Down an Ancestor!


    With regards to the indignation of Zhu Yan and the others, Ye Yuan did not take it seriously either.


    He was not familiar with these people to begin with. There was no need to pay too much attention to their feelings.


    After Zhu Yan these people left, Ye Yuan immediately went to the Scripture Library and started browsing the Extreme Medicine Sect��s alchemy records. The Extreme Medicine Sect focused on alchemy, their scriptures being extremely plentiful. It could be said to be enough to fill a house to the rafters.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s Scripture Library was divided into Martial and Alchemy.


    And the Alchemy Scripture Library was a full seven stories high!


    Of course, entering a different floor required different permissions.


    As Zuo Chen��s disciple, Ye Yuan��s authority was naturally great and could directly climb up to the sixth floor.


    As for the Scripture Library, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s limitations were not too great.


    Alchemy Dao was different from Martial Dao. It was not about giving a person a secret book, and then he would be able to ascend to heaven in one step.


    The things recorded in alchemy classics were also greatly different from the things recorded into martial arts classics.


    Some of the profound things, even if let a person look, he might not be able to understand it too.


    Only by accumulating little by little could one go from the easy to the difficult and complicated, reaching the pinnacle. But not having many limitations did not mean that there were no limitations. The seventh level��s classics, that was all the foundation of the Extreme Medicine Sect. Only those with the highest authority could browse them.


    After Ye Yuan entered the Scripture Library, he did not stop at the lowest level but went straight up to the sixth level.


    Ye Yuan was only half a step away from profound grade. What he needed now was a spark of inspiration to break through this shackle.


    Ordinary classics could consolidate his foundation, but it was unable to serve as any advice.


    Therefore, he went straight to the sixth floor.


    Alchemy classics were not like martial arts classics, being classified into levels.


    Just as the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook, it could be said to just be the list of some heavenly medicines. But its preciousness was enough to place it at the seventh level.


    In the sixth level, there were naturally some records that Ye Yuan could not understand.


    But, he understood the vast majority of it. It was because of the realm he had already reached.


    Above profound grade, it was even more vague and insubstantial. That level of records was incredibly precious and would naturally be placed at the seventh level.


    Of course, Ye Yuan knew that there were even higher level books placed in the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    That place, only the Extreme Light Pavilion��s pavilion elders had the qualifications to browse through.


    However, those books were still too distant for Ye Yuan. There was naturally no need to consider them for now.


    At the sixth level, there were not many people reading the classics. It was basically some Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the door, it immediately attracted sidelong glances. It was not that there were no grade five heavenly alchemists able to go up to the sixth floor. Lu Daoyi had this qualification.


    But, even Lu Daoyi would not go up to the sixth level either.


    The alchemy records here were not suitable for him.


    Therefore, seeing a Saint Sovereign Heaven come up, these Emperor Realm powerhouses were all extremely surprised.


    Ye Yuan ignored these people��s gazes, going straight for the bookcases and starting browsing through.


    All kinds of jade slips were placed on the bookcase. Next to the jade slips, there were the names and profiles of the records, which were clear at a glance.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and casually picked up a ��Profound Grade Heavenly Pill Detailed Explanation�� and started reading.


    ��Young man, it��s not good to reach beyond your grasp! Profound grade heavenly pill is a realm that you��re currently unable to touch. Better to lay down the foundation honestly. That��s the right way!�� Suddenly, a voice transmitted over next to Ye Yuan��s ear.


    Upon turning his head to look, it was an old man in black robes.


    Ye Yuan gave a bow and said smilingly, ��Many thanks to Ancestor for your teachings. This disciple got it!��


    Although he said so, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of leaving.


    This black-robed old man��s strength was unfathomable. Ye Yuan could not see through. He had likely already reached Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm.


    Hence, Ye Yuan called him Ancestor.


    The black-robed old man frowned and said, ��Boy, are you turning a deaf ear to this seat��s words?��


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only say honestly, ��Ancestor, this disciple came here in order to break through to profound grade.��


    The moment this was said, many Emperor Realms immediately laughed out loud. A measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven said that he wanted to break through to profound grade was really hilarious. They all, these people, had already reached Emperor Realm and had not broken through to profound grade yet!


    It was fine if he did not say anything. But the moment he said this, the black robed old man snorted coldly and said, ��Not only are you reaching beyond your grasp, you��re even wildly arrogant and conceited! Who��s your master?��


    Ye Yuan was helpless and could only say, ��My master is Zuo Chen!��


    The black-robed old man snorted coldly and said, ��Does Zuo Chen that brat have eyes but couldn��t see? How did he accept such an ignorant brat to be a disciple? Go to where you should go. Don��t disturb other people��s reading here!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Ancestor, I��m just here to read. I didn��t disturb others. It��s you who disturbed the others.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was stunned.


    This boy was really arrogant!


    Did he not know who this person in front of him was?


    Even if he did not know, to dare call Zuo Chen ��that brat�� and even said that he had eyes but could not see, could he be an ordinary person?


    You actually dared to talk like this!


    The black-robed old man gave a cold laugh when he heard that. He said, ��Huhu, well done! Even if Zuo Chen that brat is in front of this seat, he also wouldn��t dare to talk like that. Young friend, you really have a lot of balls!��


    Ye Yuan said neither obsequiously nor haughtily, ��This disciple is just speaking the truth! This disciple has the right to enter the sixth level. I naturally have the right to read here. Even if this blows up to Sect Master there, I��m not in the wrong either. Ancestor, you don��t have the authority to make me leave. If Ancestor, you, insist on making this disciple leave, then I can only go to the Law Enforcement Hall to redress my grievance!�� The black-robed old man��s face was already black as the bottom of a pot.


    This brat actually brought to the Law Enforcement Hall to suppress him!


    He was making him leave for his own good. Not only did this brat not appreciate the kindness, but he was also even messing with him!


    If this matter really ended up at the Law Enforcement Hall there, he really could not explain it clearly.


    With Ye Yuan��s identity, he indeed had the qualifications to read the records here.


    He was the Alchemy Scripture Library��s manager. If he really chased Ye Yuan out, that would be his fault.


    The Law Enforcement Hall would embarrass him!


    He, an exalted Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse, actually made things difficult for a Saint Sovereign Heaven. This could not be justified no matter what.


    ��Hah! Good! Very good! This seat wants to see how you break through to profound grade realm! You��re called Ye Yuan, right? This seat has remembered you. Later, this seat will ask Zuo Chen that brat how he teaches disciples!��


    The black-robed old man flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded group of Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    ��This kid is too amazing to actually shoot down Elder Fan Li until he��s speechless!��


    ��What amazing? I think that he��s courting death! Elder Fan Li is the sect master��s senior apprentice brother, his seniority being extremely old! This kid offended him. Even Martial Uncle Zuo Chen can��t protect him too!��


    ��Huhu, actually, I also really want to see how this boy breaks through to profound grade realm!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan naturally knew that Fan Li was doing it for his own good, but he told the truth and the other party did not believe him and even wanted to chase him away.


    Sometimes, geniuses were so helpless.


    Since you want to see, then I��ll let you see.


    Ye Yuan did not think too much either, divine sense sinking into the jade slip and started reading carefully.


    ����


    Very soon, the matter of Ye Yuan not daring to accept Lu Daoyi��s challenge, but that he was too stubborn to admit defeat, was known across the entire sect. Originally, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven naturally would not attract people��s attention.


    TO


    But the commotion caused when Ye Yuan entered the sect was too big. Even if he did not want to attract attention, he could not.


    This matter continued to ferment. Very soon, Zuo Chen��s lineage became the laughingstock of the entire sect.


    When Sect Master gave the order personally, there naturally would not be people who thought that it was Ye Yuan��s face.


    Hence, the vast majority of the people felt that this was Zuo Chen being partial to Ye Yuan.


    Now, who he was shielding was actually this kind of coward. Wouldn��t it be a joke?


    On the other hand, Lu Daoyi��s grand words also spread across the Extreme Medicine Sect swiftly, shocking everyone.


    Lu Daoyi��s domineering exit from seclusion could be said to have become a sea-stabilizing divine needle of the conservative faction!


    Although he was just a grade five heavenly alchemist, his battle achievement already closed in on the number one genius, Zhou Pinespring


    What did this indicate?


    This showed that the conservative faction��s way of doing things was correct! If they could nurture another Hegemon Realm in the rear, it would absolutely have a profound impact on this war.


    On Tiansong Peak, Qin Shan said with a loud laugh, ��Good! Good disciple! Master indeed didn��t misjudge you! This time, you really gained face for Master!��


    These two days, he was really riding on the crest of success, getting his fill of the limelight.


    Even when some Emperor Sakra Heavens saw him, they also greeted warmly with smiling faces.


    Lu Daoyi smiled and said, ��Master, the marvelous thing is still at the back! From tomorrow onward, I��ll challenge the sect��s grade six heavenly alchemists! I want to let everyone know that I, Lu Daoyi, am the number one genius after Ancestor Pinespring! I want to let everyone know that Master��s opinion is the correct one!��

 Chapter 2852 - Entering Profound Grade, Extreme Medicine is Shocked!

    Chapter 2852 Entering Profound Grade, Extreme Medicine is Shocked!


    ��I lost!��


    A grade six heavenly alchemist said dejectedly.


    In the next second, the whole audience was shocked!


    ��This is already the 18th consecutive win! Goodness gracious, this Lu Daoyi is going to defy the heavens!��


    ��Grade six heavenly alchemists are almost being swept away by him! His impressiveness really wasn��t bragged about! Maybe he can really catch up to Ancestor Pinespring��s footsteps!��


    ��It��s pretty close! Emperor Qin Shan really took in a fine disciple!��


    ��Speaking of which, Emperor Qin Shan is on par with Emperor Zuo Chen to begin with. But now, the gap is widened! These two disciples are really, one is in the sky and the other on the ground!��


    ..


    .


    .


    .


    For half a month in a row, Lu Daoyi won 18 matches in a row, shocking the entire sect.


    Leaving seclusion this time, Lu Daoyi was domineering to the extreme, and he really fought all over the Extreme Medicine Sect and was unrivaled!


    These 18 people were all existences who rose above the masses among grade six heavenly alchemists.


    Lu Daoyi being able to win all the battles, he was definitely powerful to the extreme.


    Even when compared to the Zhou Pinespring back then, it was not far off too.


    Back then, Zhou Pinespring truly swept across grade six when he was at peak grade five.


    In contrast, Emperor Qin Shan��s old adversary, Emperor Zuo Chen��s disciple Ye Yuan, was really far too lacking.


    A mother relied on her son to be noble, while a master relied on his disciple to be noble[1]!


    If one could bring up a Hegemon Realm powerhouse, that would absolutely be infinitely glorious.


    ��Hey, did you guys hear? That newly accepted disciple of Martial Uncle Zuo Chen, Ye Yuan, entered the Scripture Library and made public that he��s going to break through to profound grade! Martial Uncle Fan Li urged him with good intentions, and he even shot Martial Uncle Fan Li down. It��s really making me die of laughter!��


    ��There��s still such a thing? Hahaha, the disciples under Martial Uncle Zuo Chen��s tutelage when compared to Martial Uncle Qin Shan has always been a notch stronger. If not for Senior Apprentice Brother Meng Yutian death in battle, their lineage would firmly suppress Qin Shan��s lineage. But now, they really completely lost face all the way to their grandmother��s home!��


    ��Isn��t that so! When that Ye Yuan entered the Scripture Library, he went straight up to the sixth level. That��s absolutely max posturing points! Grade five heavenly alchemist stepping into profound grade realm, if it can really be done, that will really shock the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    ��Hahaha, how hilarious! That boy is also an interesting one!��


    ����


    Talking about Ye Yuan, everyone burst into laughter.


    Because of Qin Shan and Zuo Chen��s relationship, Lu Daoyi would naturally be used as a comparison too.


    Not comparing was still fine, but upon comparison, the difference was really too big.


    One was like the sun in the sky, being incomparably dazzling. The other was like the dust beneath one��s feet, being bleak and dim.


    Especially Ye Yuan��s personality, it was what made people denounce the most.


    Puffing himself up at his own cost and reveling in it, he became everyone��s laughingstock.


    In this whole world, most likely apart from himself, there was no one with this sense of superiority anymore. ��Tomorrow, I��ll challenge Senior Apprentice Brother Wang Ji! At that time, all senior apprentice brothers please show up and support!�� Lu Daoyi surveyed the surroundings and said loudly.


    With this, it shocked everyone even more.


    ��He��s actually going to challenge Wang Ji!�� ��Impressive! Wang Ji is Ancestor Pei Zhen��s disciple, he can definitely rank among the top ten in grade six!��


    ��It looks like Lu Daoyi still has strength to spare! With this, there will really be a good show to watch!��


    Previously, who Lu Daoyi challenged were all the disciples of grade eight heavenly alchemists.


    But some grade nine heavenly alchemists similarly had grade six disciples! Of course, the eyesights of grade nine heavenly alchemists were pickier. The grade six disciples that they took in were naturally stronger.


    Wang Ji was one of them!


    Lu Daoyi��s challenges set off bigger and bigger waves in the sect. Even some veteran Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses have already started to pay attention.


    Once the strength that Lu Daoyi displayed reached a certain level, Qin Shan this small household naturally would not be able to accommodate him anymore.


    At that time, those grade nine heavenly alchemists would be moved too.


    �� ��


    Regarding the outside world��s disturbances, Ye Yuan was completely clueless.


    These few days, he had been immersing in the sea of Alchemy Dao all along, unable to extricate himself.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect was well-deserving of being the number one alchemy sect. The records on the sixth level were truly incomparably vast.


    Compared to that incomplete Labyrinth Divine Palace, the alchemy records here were clearly more comprehensive and more complete. Furthermore, countless profound grade powerhouses had appeared in the Extreme Medicine Sect��s history before.


    Their handwritten notes were also stored in the Scripture Library.


    These were valuable assets!


    Ye Yuan could even distinctly feel that he was getting closer and closer to the realm of profound grade. It was just that all of his seriousness was pretending to be profound in other people��s eyes. Either way, profound grade could not be broken through to in a day or two, just you pretend, see when you can pretend until! ��Senior Apprentice Brother, I heard that you got shot down by a junior recently and didn��t even dare to let out a fart?��


    The one talking was Fan Li��s junior apprentice brother, Miao Chuan, and he was also Song Qingyang��s junior apprentice brother.


    He was closer to Fan Li. Hearing that he got deflated, he specially came to see him.


    Fan Li��s face was black as the bottom of a pot, and he said in a solemn voice, ��The juniors now don��t know how to appreciate kindness too much! I saw that his strength was meager, and so I asked him to consolidate his foundation and take care not to reach beyond his grasp! In the end, he used the Law Enforcement Hall to pressure me! Huhu, I��m currently really looking forward to how he breaks through to profound grade!�� Miao Chuan smiled and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother, rest assured. After this boy comes out, this junior apprentice brother will definitely give vent to your anger! There��s no trouble that my Law Enforcement Hall can��t look for!��


    Miao Chuan was the Law Enforcement Hall��s great protector. His strength naturally could not be underestimated.


    The Law Enforcement Hall��s view was fairness!


    No matter who it implicated, it would take an impartial approach to all.


    But the Law Enforcement Hall��s authority was also immense. If they really wanted to use the sect rules to find trouble, not many could escape it.


    Fan Li nodded and said, ��I��ll leave this matter to you! Senior Apprentice Brother, I, have lived to this ripe old age. Yet, I��ve really never seen such an arrogant junior before! A mere grade five heavenly alchemist wants to step into the realm of profound grade too! If he really breaks through, I��ll smack my mouth into shambles!�� His voice had yet to fade when Fan Li and Miao Chuan��s expressions suddenly changed.


    Inside the Scripture Library, a profound and inscrutable undulation quietly descended.


    ��This �� Did someone break through to profound grade? It wouldn��t be �� that boy, right?�� Miao Chuan said.


    ��Impossible! This is definitely someone else breaking through. Right now on the sixth level, there are several who are stuck at the bottleneck of profound grade!�� Fan Li denied it right away.


    Grade five heavenly alchemist reaching profound grade, how was this possible? Didn��t that mean that Ye Yuan was even more monstrous than Ancestor Pinespring?


    It was absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen!


    The two people��s figures appeared on the sixth floor at the first moment!


    In the next moment, the two people��s expressions were indescribably wondrous! ��It �� It��s really him! This �� How is this possible? Grade five realm breaking through to profound grade? This boy is truly so monstrous?�� Fan Li asked a series of questions to hide his current shock. But it could not be hidden.


    This scene was seriously too shocking!


    The entire Scripture Library was in an uproar!


    ��He really broke through! It turns out that he wasn��t boasting. He��s really amazing!�� ��Grade five realm breaking through to profound grade, he��s even more monstrous than Ancestor Pinespring!��


    ��We ridiculed him for half a month. After so long, we��re the dumbest ones!��


    [1] This is an ancient Chinese saying, where in the palace, a mother��s status is directly tied to the son��s.

 Chapter 2853 - Dimensional Level Blow!

    Chapter 2853 Dimensional Level Blow!


    True grade entering profound grade was a huge leap.


    Just as Holy Son Cang Yongning back then, he had long already stepped into the realm of true grade at Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum. His aptitude was naturally significantly worse when compared to the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples.


    In the Extreme Medicine Sect, to be an expert, entering true grade was the most basic requirement.


    But there were scanty few who stepped into profound grade from true grade!


    The vast majority of heavenly alchemists barely managed to step into profound grade when they were at grade eight realm.


    There were even some who could not break through to profound grade at all.


    Those who broke through to profound grade at grade seven realm were all peerless geniuses!


    Being able to advance to profound grade at initial-stage grade seven, those were all geniuses among geniuses, targets of heavy grooming by the sect.


    This kind of geniuses had the possibility of reaching peak grade nine in the future!


    Grade six realm reaching profound grade, other than Zhou Pinespring, there were really not many of them who could be found.


    Lu Daoyi��s ultimate goal was just to step into the realm of profound grade before grade seven.


    It could be seen from this how difficult it was for true grade to enter profound grade!


    As for a grade five realm profound grade expert, it was simply unheard of!


    But today, it appeared!


    Profound grade was a kind of heavenly pill grade, and also a kind of realm.


    Reaching profound grade showed that one��s understanding of Alchemy Dao already attained a higher level, and the person had a chance to pry into that fleeting and ephemeral realm of chaos heavenly master!


    The current Ye Yuan already entered a state of forgetting oneself, allowing Alchemy Dao rule to strike him.


    Taking this step was only a matter of course. But Ye Yuan��s pursuit went far beyond profound grade.


    The realm of Cloudmount blooming flowers with a single thought had broadened Ye Yuan��s horizons, opening another window for him. He was still reading the book, still immersed in Dao.


    As for when he broke through, he was completely unaware.


    He was still immersed in the knowledge of the jade slip, but the Extreme Medicine Sect had long already exploded!


    This news was like Cloudmount��s blooming flowers with a single thought, instantly sweeping across the entire sect.


    As for the news of Lu Daoyi��s beating Wang Ji, it was instantly drowned out.


    All 19 battles, all victories!


    More than half of the grade six realms were swept across by him!


    The imposing momentum that Lu Daoyi used more than half a month to create was instantly crushed by Ye Yuan��s breakthrough.


    Although I scorned him, he died because of me!


    This matter was completely and utterly a dimensional level blow!


    He and Lu Daoyi were originally not in the same dimension.


    With regards to Lu Daoyi��s actions and his challenges, Ye Yuan did not pay attention to it at all.


    But Ye Yuan��s breakthrough had completely shattered his limelight without the slightest mercy!


    At this time, there was already no one who would go and pay attention to a genius disciple who viewed Zhou Pinespring as his goal.


    It was because there was already a genius who completely surpassed Zhou Pinespring! Ye Yuan��s surpassing was not a little bit, but it was an all-round surpassing! Before this, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s record was entering profound grade at peak grade six.


    But now, Ye Yuan directly refreshed this record to grade five!


    Increased it by a full major realm!


    You��re a genius?


    Huhu, go to one corner and play!


    In the eyes of true geniuses, there was only surpassing, and it was not chasing!


    In Ye Yuan��s eyes, there were no opponents at all.


    Hence, he naturally would not waste his energy and go compete in alchemy with Lu Daoyi as well.


    When Qin Shan��s lineage heard this news, everyone was petrified for a full quarter of an hour!


    Ye Yuan, this ��jumping clown,�� had long already been tossed to the back of their minds by them.


    In their eyes, Ye Yuan was never an opponent.


    Their opponent was Zuo Chen! Giving Ye Yuan a blow was just in order to make Zuo Chen look bad. That was all. It had nothing to do with Ye Yuan. But the weakling without the slightest sense of existence in their eyes became the most dazzling pearl on East Victory Mountain Range!


    This kind of contrast made them feel despair!


    Especially Lu Daoyi! ��Oh, since that��s the case, then what are you still waiting here for? You can go.��


    ��Leave, I won��t compete with you. Because there��s no meaning at all.��


    ��Whatever you think.��


    Ye Yuan��s calm and collected tone seemed to still be echoing in his ears.


    It sounded so ridiculous at that time.


    But now, they finally understood that it was not stubbornness and not stubbornly hanging on, but that he did not treat him as an opponent at all!


    At this very moment, when Lu Daoyi recalled half a month ago, it was as if Ye Yuan��s eyes did not have him at all! He, this peerless genius after Zhou Pinespring, was directly overlooked!


    The one who ignored him was a ��rookie�� whose realm was even lower than his!


    ��How could this be? How could this be ����


    Lu Daoyi mumbled under his breath, clearly unable to accept this result.


    But this news had already been confirmed. Furthermore, it was the Scripture Library��s Ancestor Fan Li who personally verified it!


    At the time of the breakthrough, there were also many people who saw it.


    ��I��m not convinced! I �� I��m going to challenge him!�� Lu Daoyi suddenly roared and rushed out.


    Qin Shan flicked his sleeves, and Lu Daoyi returned to where he was.


    Qin Shan looked at Lu Daoyi, his expression seemingly complicated. Heaving a light sigh, he said, ��Daoyi, forget it! Although it��s very demoralizing to say this, Master has no choice but to tell you, it��s impossible for you to defeat him in your lifetime! You guys �� are too far apart!��


    ��Puhwark!��


    Lu Daoyi spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly and fell to the ground with a loud bang, passing out.


    When the group of senior apprentice brothers saw this scene, their faces had some reluctance.


    ��Master, is being so straightforward too demoralizing to Little Junior Brother?�� Wang Lin could not resist asking.


    Qin Shan sighed again and said, ��He��s completely not on the same level as Ye Yuan in alchemy! Even Grandmaster Pinespring is likely not on the same level when compared to Ye Yuan too! If Daoyi doesn��t realize this point, then his road of Alchemy Dao will collapse here, and he can forget about improving another inch! In reality, his talent is really very high, and he even has hope of catching up to Grandmaster Pinespring. There��s no need to compare to that one. If he understands this point, he��ll still have great accomplishments in the future! It��s just that �� it��s probably very, very difficult!��


    Qin Shan was a genius too. He naturally knew about the pride of geniuses!


    The more genius one was, the prouder they were!


    Hence, Extreme Medicine Sect��s proudest person was Zhou Pinespring. Lu Daoyi��s talent was comparable to Zhou Pinespring. How could he not be proud?


    However, the more it was so, the harder it would be to extradite himself when faced with such a blow that left him black and blue all over!


    Whether or not he could walk out of it, that would depend on how strong his inner heart


    was.


    Qin Shan bursting this bubble was hoping that Lu Daoyi would reestablish after destruction, striving harder after knowing humiliation!


    Otherwise, he could not think of other ways!


    But even so, this difficulty was still too high!


    A hint of indignation flashed across Wang Lin��s eyes, and he said, ��On what basis? On what basis could that punk break through to profound grade? He��s just grade five realm!��


    Recalling that scene from half a month ago, he felt that Ye Yuan was very laughable at that time.


    But now, he felt that Ye Yuan��s posturing level was lofty and out of reach!


    Many people liked to pretend to be aristocrats after becoming rich, demonstrating their extraordinariness from before and after.


    However, true aristocrats would never show off.


    True aristocrats were very low-profile.


    Hence, when a local tycoon ran into a true aristocrat, that was really losing face all the way to their grandmother��s house. They were like this! Qin Shan��s face also had a hint of unnaturalness. Clearly, he did not dare to believe it either.


    ��Yeah, what right does he have? The matter blew up so big. Most likely, over at the Absolute Heaven Barrier that side, they all will be shocked too, right?�� Qin Shan muttered.

 Chapter 2854 - The Beauty Is Betrothed!

    Chapter 2854 The Beauty Is Betrothed!


    ��Old Fart Cloudmount, you really picked up a treasure! I didn��t expect that this kid is actually so monstrous, entering profound grade at grade five realm.��


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s face was full of smugness, but he said, ��He��s a little talented, but him being able to break through to profound grade so quickly, that��s all due to my credit!��


    The other Hegemons shut up very sensibly.


    This guy was unbelievably pretentious!


    Back then, when Hegemon Pinespring advanced to Hegemon Realm, this old man showed off so much, wanting the whole world to know.


    These people were victims of it.


    It was also that the war had erupted now. Otherwise, this old thing would definitely show off again this time, making sure the whole world knew.


    They had never heard before of a grade five realm profound grade expert!


    When these Hegemons heard this news, they were naturally inexplicably shocked in his hearts.


    Grade six realm profound grade experts would still emerge occasionally, whether or not they could become Hegemons, just as Lu Daoyi.


    But grade five realm profound grade experts were unheard of!


    ��Hahaha �� You all these fellows, in spite of how each and every one of you put on airs, you��re really inferior to me, Cloudmount, in teaching disciples! This time, this seat is going to coach a divergent cultivator Hegemon Realm!��


    ��Not that I��m saying you guys, us old things might not be able to make any improvements in ten thousand years. Why not spend more effort on teaching disciples? Produce a few more Hegemons and we wouldn��t have to toil so hard anymore either!�� ���� ����


    Just you show off, can��t we just ignore you?


    Could Hegemon Realms be coached?


    If they could be coached, then Heaven One Continent would not have ended up in this plight too!


    Seeing everyone remain quiet, Cloudmount smiled and said, ��Pinespring, what do you think? This brat��s talent really surpasses yours!��


    Zhou Pinespring said, ��Whether it��s success or failure, it still has to depend on afterward!��


    Cloudmount smiled and said, ��Huhu, it looks like you��re jealous too! Indeed, for so many years, it��s not that there were none who surpassed you at grade six realm, but later, they all faded into the crowd. But this little junior brother of yours, I feel very optimistic about him!��


    Zhou Pinespring smiled and said, ��What Master said is right. This disciple is indeed a little jealous in my heart! However, in this present situation, if Little Junior Brother can reach the Hegemon Realm, it will indeed be a great thing to us!��


    Cloudmount chuckled and said, ��Those juniors in the sect have probably all gone crazy from fighting now, right? But they all don��t know that this kid has already been claimed! When they discover Ye Yuan��s identity, their expressions must be very fascinating, right? Hahaha ����


    ��Ye Yuan, this seat is the sect master��s senior apprentice brother. My seniority is the highest in the sect! If you acknowledge me as your master, you��ll be able to obtain unimaginable benefits!��


    ��Don��t listen to him. This old punk��s strength is too weak. That��s why he has to guard here in the Scripture Library! I��m different. I��m the strongest one other than Sect Master! If you acknowledge me as your master, you can obtain countless resources! Ye Yuan, in the path of cultivation, one mustn��t just rely only on talent. One should rely on resources more!��


    ��What bullshit resources do you have? Ye Yuan, this seat is in charge of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s alchemy resources. As long as it��s heavenly medicines that you need, there��s nothing that this seat can��t get! It��s tremendously beneficial to you if you acknowledge me as your master!��


    ����


    Five alchemy path powerhouses were currently surrounding Ye Yuan.


    These five people were the five people with the most illustrious authority in the Extreme Medicine Sect apart from Song Qingyang!


    Fan Li was Song Qingyang��s senior apprentice brother, but among these five people, he did not have much advantage instead.


    Of course, those Emperor Realm powerhouses on the Scripture Library��s sixth floor were all chased out.


    It was better for this scene in front of them to not be seen by people.


    Miao Chuan and Fan Li were the closest, but currently, Fan Li was glaring at Miao Chuan fiercely, as if going to tear him into two.


    It was because Miao Chuang was his greatest competitor in fighting for this disciple!


    As for the disdain at the beginning, it was long already tossed beyond the ninth layer of heaven by them!


    This kind of disciple was hard to come across in ten thousand years!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and suddenly smiled and said, ��Ancestors, why didn��t Sect Master come?��


    At virtually the same time, the five people��s expressions turned black.


    Why? Looking down on the few of us?


    You punk, you��re too full of yourself! One should know, even when Hegemon Pinespring was unrivaledly talented back then, when he was at Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, no one showed any interest in him either!


    ��Huhu, don��t misunderstand my words. My meaning is �� the few of you probably don��t have the qualifications to take me in as a disciple!�� Ye Yuan continued.


    The five people exploded at once.


    Brat, you��re really full of yourself!


    In this Extreme Medicine Sect, apart from the few of us, who else had the qualifications to take you in as a disciple?


    But in the next second, the expressions on their faces instantly became fascinating to the extreme!


    It was because a small and exquisite jade sword appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand since no idea when.


    The Extreme Light Jade Sword!


    Why would this puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven have the Extreme Light Jade Sword?


    An Extreme Light Jade Sword was something that only the Extreme Light Pavilion��s elders had!


    Thinking up to here, the five people could not help shuddering!


    To think that this one in front of them was actually an Extreme Light Pavilion Elder? This �� How was this possible? Fan Li��s expression was ugly to the extreme as he said ferociously, ��Song Qingyang you bastard, to actually dare scam Your Father!�� ��Song Qingyang, you��ll give birth to a son without an anus!�� ��Song Qingyang, fuck you!��


    �� ��


    The few people practically burst out swearing at the same time.


    Very clearly, Song Qingyang knew about this. But he did not warn them.


    Logically speaking, after Ye Yuan did such an astonishing thing, Song Qingyang should have come over right away.


    But he did not!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Martial Nephews, it��s not that Sect Master had the intention to hide it. This was what Master instructed. The few of you are all the Extreme Medicine Sect��s upper echelons. Please don��t spread this matter!��


    Master?


    Who was this boy��s master?


    Fan Li��s expression was embarrassed as he said, ��Pavilion �� Elder Ye, may I ask �� your master is ����


    ��Hegemon Cloudmount!��


    The five people were collectively speechless!


    They thought that this was probably Hegemon Pinespring��s disciple. That was why he had the qualifications to enter the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    Who knew that he was actually Hegemon Cloudmount��s disciple!


    Hegemon Cloudmount had already not accepted a disciple for over 100 thousand years!


    ��P-Paying respects to Little Martial Uncle!��


    The five people gave Ye Yuan a deep bow while having fascinating expressions.


    It was too much of a freaking scam!


    ����


    On the other side, Zhu Yan and the rest were sitting on pins and needles, their expressions similarly very fascinating.


    After getting this news, their reactions were virtually cut from the same cloth as Emperor Qin Shan that side.


    Collectively petrified!


    Too impressive!


    Impressive until they were unable to digest it in a short time! ��It turns out that what Little Junior Brother said was true!�� Zhu Yan��s face was full of bitterness as he said.


    Lu Daoyi was really too weak!


    Not just Lu Daoyi, even he, Zhu Yan, was similarly too weak!


    When Ye Yuan said this, they scoffed in derision and were full of disdain.


    But, when Ye Yuan broke through to profound grade, everything became a matter of course!


    Hua Zong similarly smiled bitterly and said, ��No wonder Little Junior Brother couldn��t be bothered to take action. Lu Daoyi can��t muster up his interest at all! In our view, Lu Daoyi is amazingly talented. But in Little Junior Brother��s view, he��s not worth mentioning at all! What �� have we done?!��


    Zhu Yan smiled bitterly and said, ��After Little Junior Brother exits seclusion, I��ll personally admit my mistake and apologize! Us senior apprentice brothers are too unqualified!��

 Chapter 2855 - Yang Qing’s Rise!

    Chapter 2855 Yang Qing��s Rise!


    I eliminated you, but it had nothing to do with you.


    This was a tragic story!


    The outside world raged wildly in a violent storm, but it did not have the slightest to do with Ye Yuan; although it was all because of him.


    Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion was ten years long! For ten years, Ye Yuan seriously studied the alchemy records that he could read on the sixth level.


    He gleaned considerable benefits!


    Profound grade was indeed another realm!


    Ye Yuan��s understanding of Alchemy Dao had already taken shape a long time ago.


    One pill, one world.


    But worlds had distinctions of superiority too. Just like the 33 Heavens and the planes across the heavens, they were not worlds on the same level.


    Profound grade heavenly pill, the heavenly pill was still that heavenly pill, but the level was already completely different.


    It was just like, forcefully raising their original small world by a level!


    The medicinal properties of the heavenly pill naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    After Ye Yuan exited seclusion, the proud son of heaven, Lu Daoyi, from ten years ago, had long already faded into the crowd.


    Of those True Sovereign Heavens who were once defeated by him, someone had already stepped into Emperor Realm!


    Many of his peers had also broken through to True Sovereign Heaven and stepped into the ranks of grade six heavenly alchemist.


    However, the piece of news concerning Ye Yuan breaking through to profound grade was still limited to within a certain scope in the end.


    Why?


    It was because no one took him in as a disciple.


    Logically speaking, this kind of amazingly talent genius, there would at least be Extreme Light Pavilion pavilion elders, or even Hegemon Realm powerhouses who took them in as a disciple.


    But there were none!


    The reason was very simple. Ye Yuan was a divergent cultivator!


    Someone who was destined to die, someone who was destined to be unable to step into Hegemon Realm, was not worth paying attention to.


    No matter how genius you were!


    The people of the outside world naturally did not know that all the upper echelons in the sect had once fought to take him in as a disciple.


    They were even more unaware that Hegemon Cloudmount had long already taken him in as a disciple.


    Hence, in many people��s view, the sect was deliberately suppressing Ye Yuan!


    Because of this kind of unprecedented major event, the sect actually did not have any movements at all.


    Thinking about it, it made sense too. You, a trash who was unable to break through to Hegemon Realm, actually turned a genius who had extremely high potential to become Hegemon Realm into a good-for-nothing.


    Preposterous! Therefore, the moment Ye Yuan exited seclusion, he drew all manners of strange gazes. ��This guy is clearly occupying the latrine and not taking a dump!�� ��Isn��t that so? He can��t become Hegemon himself but caused others to be unable to become Hegemon. This is making others have no alternative path to take after he reached the end of his rope!�� ��Lu Daoyi is completely crippled. He didn��t make any advancement for ten years! Sigh, an originally good sapling for Hegemon Realm got ruined by him just like this!��


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    .


    Hearing these discussion voices, Ye Yuan was stupefied too.


    Who was Lu Daoyi?


    What did him getting crippled had to do with him?


    In Ye Yuan��s eyes, Lu Daoyi was just an insignificant minor character. He could not be bothered to remember him at all.


    ��Ye Yuan, you finally exited seclusion! Hahaha, you don��t know how awe-inspiring I, Lord Qing, have been in these ten years!�� Just as Ye Yuan was absent-minded, a loud laughter sounded out. No need to look and one would also know that Yang Qing had arrived.


    Sure enough, hearing that Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Yang Qing brought Big Yellow, Xiao Qing, and Jingfei immediately came over.


    Yang Qing entered the Extreme Medicine Sect too and became the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciple.


    As for Jingfei the three of them, because they were of the true spirit lineage, they only stayed on Xuan Yang Peak with the identity of servants.


    Yang Qing was still as show-offy as before.


    Ye Yuan ignored him but asked, ��They all said that I ruined Lu Daoyi. Who is Lu Daoyi?��


    The moment these words came out, the whole place fell into a dead silence.


    It turned out that you crippled him, but you didn��t even know who he was?


    You��re too much!


    Yang Qing had a strange look too as he said, ��Do you really not know? Or are you feigning ignorance?��


    Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, ��I entered closed-seclusion as soon as I entered the sect. It��s also not that you don��t know. When did I ruin Lu Daoyi?��


    Yang Qing was speechless as he said, ��Have you forgotten? Before you went into closed-seclusion, Qin Shan��s lineage came to challenge you once before?��


    Upon saying that, Ye Yuan remembered it.


    It seemed like there was really such a thing.


    ��Oh, it��s him? But I didn��t agree to compete in alchemy with him either. How did I cripple him?�� Ye Yuan said speechlessly. Yang Qing laughed loudly and said, ��Wasn��t it still because you broke through to profound grade? You don��t know how stirred the entire sect was when you broke through to profound grade ten years ago! Lu Daoyi had always believed that he was number one in grade five, and even wanted to catch up to Ancestor Pinespring. In the end, he was given a direct blow by you! Hearing that when he got the news that you broke through to grade five, he vomited blood on the spot and used two years�� time before getting off the bed. During these remaining eight years, he has also been like a walking corpse, without making any improvement in ten years! If this isn��t your fault, who else can you blame?�� The muscles on Ye Yuan��s face twitched. What did this have to do with him?


    Just this bit of psychic, he still wanted to catch up to Senior Apprentice Brother Pinespring?


    Although Ye Yuan did not know about Zhou Pinespring��s past, he believed that Zhou Pinespring absolutely would not be so fragile.


    The stronger the opponent was, the stronger you should be.


    Your Father had not even made a move, and you already fell down. With just this, you still wanted to break through to Hegemon Realm?


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and directly filtered Lu Daoyi out. Turning to size Yang Qing up, he said, ��It looks like you��re living pretty well these ten years!��


    Many Extreme Medicine Sect disciples around immediately fell down.


    This guy was too posturing! Could you freaking not feel any guilt at all? You ruined a Hegemon Realm sapling!


    The moment Yang Qing heard about himself, he immediately had a look of exultation and said, ��That��s right! Elder Brother, I, am an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse��s personal disciple now! In terms of seniority, you still have to call me martial uncle!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was strange as he said, ��Oh? Which Emperor Sakra Heaven is blind? To actually take you in as a disciple?��


    It was dead silent all-round again.


    Are you freaking courting death?! You were clearly just a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven. You actually dared to say that an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse was blind?


    Yang Qing snorted coldly and said, ��Lord Qing, I, swept across True Sovereign Heaven Realm these ten years! At present, I��ve already fought into the top 50 on the True Sovereign List! Even grand completion True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses have been challenged by me! Elder Brother��s superior performance has moved a bunch of Emperor Realm powerhouses. Many Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses wanted to take me in as a disciple but were intercepted by Great Emperor Jia Ze!��


    Great Emperor was the honorary name for Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses.


    Speaking of Yang Qing��s ranking, it was originally not so heaven-defying that it could obtain the favor of a Great Emperor.


    But, during these ten years, his improvement was the fastest among the sect��s martial arts powerhouses.


    Not one of!


    Yang Qing��s talent was indeed extremely terrifying


    The Rainclear Continent limited his talent.


    Entering a Hegemon level sect like the Extreme Medicine Sect, his talent revealed itself very quickly!


    In these ten years, Yang Qing��s Great Dao rule improved extremely fast.


    From the initial-most zero interest shown by everyone, to rising up prominence later on, then to sweeping across True Sovereign Heavens, he only used ten years!


    In ten years, his cultivation realm only increased to peak middle True Sovereign Heaven, but his combat power was off the charts!


    Grand completion True Sovereign Heaven Realm powerhouses were virtually swept away by him!


    His ranking in True Sovereign Heaven also jumped straight up to the top 50 from a few thousandth place!


    One had to know, in a huge sect like the Extreme Medicine Sect, how terrifying was it to rank in the top 50!


    Hearing these, Ye Yuan was not surprised.


    He knew that Yang Qing was tremendously talented. In terms of martial arts talent, he was not even much worse than him.


    Of course, he did not have his great destiny, so his combat power was significantly worse than his.


    But, entering the Extreme Medicine Sect made up for the inadequacy in his destiny.


    In this place, there was no shortage of heavenly pills, no shortage of cultivation methods, no shortage of martial techniques, no shortage of opponents, nothing was lacking!


    Hence, his talent started showing.


    Yang Qing liked to brag, but sometimes it was also not really bragging. ��Yang Qing, you still have the heart to show off to a good-for-nothing here! Huhu, if I were you, I��d hurry up and pack my things up and make a run for it! This way, maybe there��s still a glimmer of hope.�� When Yang Qing had a look of exultation, a mocking voice sounded out in their ears.

 Chapter 2856 - Owed So Much Contribution Points!

    Chapter 2856 Owed So Much Contribution Points!


    Hearing this voice, Yang Qing��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Zheng Qian, who the hell do you think you are? To also dare scold others a good-for-nothing? Grand completion True Sovereign Heaven and you were beaten by your Grandpa Qing until you had to search the ground for your teeth. You have the cheek to call out too?��


    Zheng Qian did not care either, saying with a snicker, ��Isn��t some guy who can��t advance to Hegemon Realm a good-for-nothing? A grade five realm profound grade expert actually doesn��t have the sect��s ancestors take him in as a disciple! Hahaha, what a big joke! As for you, you can��t jump around for more than a few days, no matter how genius of a person you are! My Lord Qing, if you have the ability, posture to Senior Apprentice Brother Luo Hao!��


    Yang Qing��s expression instantly became very ugly. Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, ��What��s wrong, Yang Qing?�� Zheng Qian smiled and said, ��Trash, you don��t know it yet, right? Yang Qing killed Senior Apprentice Brother Luo Hao��s biological younger brother. Now, the two of them have already arranged a life-and-death battle, which will be carried out the day after tomorrow! Senior Apprentice Brother Luo Hao is ranked fourth on the True Sovereign List, a half-step Emperor Realm mighty expert! Do you think that he has hope of surviving?��


    In the Extreme Medicine Sect, grand completion True Sovereign Heavens were as plentiful as oxen fur, but half-step Emperor Realms were very, very few.


    Reaching half-step Emperor Cloud Heaven meant that there was very high hope of stepping into Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Hence, the majority of those able to reach this step were geniuses!


    And Luo Hao was even above average among them!


    Yang Qing was practically already matchless in grand completion True Sovereign Heaven.


    The vast majority of those ranked in front of him on the True Sovereign List were half-step Emperor Realm.


    With Yang Qing��s current cultivation realm strength, it was definitely impossible to beat them.


    Furthermore, Luo Hao was even a top powerhouse among half-step Emperor Realms!


    True Sovereign List rank fourth, that was an existence that might step into Emperor Realm at any time!


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Qing and said, ��You can��t win?��


    Yang Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly. This posturing could not continue anymore.


    Geniuses had a limit too. It was impossible to jump realms and challenge limitlessly.


    ��How long can you last?�� Ye Yuan asked again.


    ��One move!�� Yang Qing was full of bitterness as he said.


    He had challenged before half-step Emperor Realm powerhouses, but the gap was still too


    big.


    True Sovereign List, half-step Emperor Realm was a watershed.


    Even if one was ranked one in grand completion True Sovereign Heavens, it was also impossible to be a match for a half-step Emperor Realm.


    Hence, the gap between Yang Qing and Luo Hao was tremendous!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If let you break through to grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, would it be enough?��


    Yang Qing��s eyes lit up, and he said in pleasant surprise, ��Of course it��s enough! If I can reach grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, I can definitely pummel him until he has to search the ground for his teeth!��


    The expression of Zheng Qian, who was next to them, changed too, but very soon, he smiled again and said, ��Tsk tsk, profound grade expert is indeed very domineering when talking! However �� trash, if I didn��t guess wrongly, you don��t seem to have contribution points yet after entering the sect, right? Even if you want to refine pills, how will you exchange for heavenly medicines without contribution points?��


    At this time, Wang Lin appeared from god knows where and said with a smile, ��It��s not just no contribution points. He even owes the Scripture Library 54,450 contribution points! Although Martial Uncle Zuo Chen gave notice, you��ve already exited seclusion now and should repay the contribution points! Ye Yuan, for a very long time after today, you��ll probably be refining heavenly pills for the sect for free to repay the contribution points!��


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. There was still such a thing?


    Ye Yuan really did not know about this!


    It was naturally impossible for the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples to make endless demands.


    A major sect of close to 100 thousand people, the consumption every day was astonishing. Without contribution to the sect, one naturally could not get the resources that they deserved.


    Yang Qing had run all over the place these few years too, risking his life to earn contribution points. That was why he improved rapidly.


    In reality, the Scripture Library did not allow credit charges. But Ye Yuan��s seniority was too frightening. There was naturally no one who would say anything about him.


    According to Ye Yuan��s identity as Zuo Chen��s disciple, he had 300 starting contribution points when he entered the sect.


    And the Scripture Library��s sixth level, each day required 15 contribution points!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan could only last for 20 days.


    Later, he revealed his identity to Fan Li and the rest, and they became even more afraid of mentioning about contribution points.


    To the outside, they just said that Zuo Chen gave notice. That was why they allowed Ye Yuan to overdraft on the contribution points.


    But, after he exited seclusion, these contribution points all had to be repaid.


    Speaking about it was coincidental too. Wang Lin was in charge of these matters in the Scripture Library. So these things that were on the surface, he knew about it.


    Hearing that Ye Yuan exited seclusion, he naturally had to come and collect the debt.


    Fan Li these big shots naturally would not care about these trivial matters.


    Of course, if Ye Yuan went to give notice, this would not be a problem. But his true identity would probably be exposed. Zheng Qian was also stupefied when he heard it, immediately laughing and said, ��54 thousand contribution points! Hahaha, trash, you��re really broke! Even if you refine pills for the sect without sleeping or resting, you��ll also need more than 20 years before you can repay these contribution points! You can��t even fend for yourself anymore. You still want to meddle in Yang Qing��s affairs? Trash is trash!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was strange as he said, ��Is 50 thousand contribution points a lot?��


    Yang Qing nodded his head helplessly and said, ��It��s too much! In my ten years, I spent seven years doing the sect��s missions and only barely managed to get 17 thousand over contribution points in total! More than 50 thousand �� you��re really prodigal!��


    Earning contribution points was very hard!


    The reason why Zheng Qian said 20 years was because he knew that Ye Yuan could refine profound grade heavenly pills!


    Otherwise, it might not even be repaid after 50 years! Zheng Qian could not help laughing loudly when he heard that and said, ��Yang Qing, just wait to die! Moreover, this trash merely broke through to profound grade for ten years. It��s totally impossible for him to refine profound grade heavenly imperial pills currently! Also, to refine profound grade heavenly imperial pills, the price of each grade five heavenly medicine isn��t lower than grade six heavenly medicines. Calculating it, it will at least be tens of thousands of contribution points too! Therefore, you can give up on this!��


    The dawn that Yang Qing had just seen was completely shattered by Zheng Qian.


    What Zheng Qian said was completely right! The heavenly medicines that heavenly imperial pills needed were too valuable! If it was in the past, it was still alright. Now, Heaven One was waging war with the blood race. The remaining territory was only two-thirds of Heaven One Continent. It was very hard for the sec to enter the blood race��s territory to harvest heavenly medicines.


    Hence, the price of these heavenly medicines would naturally be even more expensive.


    Wang Lin also smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, go and report to Gray Fate Peak now. Otherwise, I��m going to report to the Law Enforcement Hall and have them come and take care of


    you!��


    Ye Yuan crippled Lu Daoyi. Now, seeing Ye Yuan��s good friend be killed was also a delightful thing! Yang Qing heaved a sigh and said, ��Ye Yuan, I appreciate your good intentions. The trouble that I caused, I��ll bear it myself!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Can��t even last one move, what the hell can you bear! Leave this to me. You don��t have to worry anymore. Have a good sleep later and wreck that whatever Luo Hao the day after tomorrow for me!��


    With regards to Yang Qing, Ye Yuan could trust him.


    This guy looked unreliable, but he had a sense of propriety when doing things.


    Yang Qing definitely did not indiscriminately kill Luo Hao��s younger brother. There must be a reason for this. With his relationship with Yang Qing, how could he possibly look on indifferently with folded arms?


    Even if he revealed his identity, he would save Yang Qing too!


    Of course, that way, his own safety would have no more guarantee.


    However, if he had to use seniority to pressure people with this minor thing, then he would also be too defeated!

 Chapter 2857 - Exchange!

    Chapter 2857 Exchange!


    How much were 50 thousand contribution


    points?


    Calculating in this manner: for True Sovereign Heaven disciples, when they went out on a very dangerous mission once, the contribution points were between 300 and 500 points.


    This kind of mission was basically nine chances to die and one chance to live. Being able to do it twice a year was already the limit.


    If it was an ordinary mission, it would be pushing the limit for there to be 100 or 80 points.


    And Saint Sovereign Heaven disciples, their difficulty in obtaining contribution points was clearly greater.


    Even if Ye Yuan was heaven-defying and more formidable than Yang Qing, he would need at least several decades before he could finish repaying too. Therefore, Ye Yuan��s words simply sounded like a ridiculous joke to the others!


    ��Hahaha, leave it to you? You repay your own contribution points before talking! Mn? You came just in time. Senior Apprentice Brother Guo, Ye Yuan has already exited seclusion. He owes the sect more than 54 thousand contribution points. It��s time to pay it back.�� Wang Lin said with a loud laugh.


    At this time, a figure walked out, it was a Law Enforcement Hall��s disciple, Guo Fang.


    He came precisely on orders to capture Ye Yuan to repay his debts!


    Since you broke through to profound grade, fine then; come and refine pills.


    Guo Fang and Wang Lin were on good terms to begin with. Furthermore, Guo Fang��s master had received Qin Shan��s kindness before. He would naturally stand on Wang Lin��s side.


    The contribution points owed to the sect naturally have to be repaid. But, it was not to the extent of being captured to repay the debt as soon as one left seclusion. A large sect did not lack those few tens of thousands of contribution points either.


    Guo Fang looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, please come!��


    Many people there were all watching a show.


    Even the Law Enforcement Hall had moved out. Could you still overturn the heavens with this?


    Obediently refine pills to repay the points!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m not going.��


    The moment Wang Lin heard, he immediately grinned.


    What I wanted was for you to not go!


    Sure enough, Guo Fang said coolly, ��Whether to go or not isn��t up to you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course it��s up to me!��


    Guo Fang said, ��In that case, Junior Apprentice Brother Ye is forcing this Guo to take action? Don��t think that with Martial Uncle Zuo protecting you, you can look down on the Law Enforcement Hall. If my Law Enforcement Hall wants to capture someone, Martial Uncle Zuo can��t stop it!��


    Guo Fang was a half-step Emperor Realm powerhouse too!


    His ranking was lower than Luo Hao, but he was ranked ninth too. Wouldn��t dealing with a Ye Yuan still be a piece of cake?


    And the Law Enforcement Hall had a transcendent status in the Extreme Medicine Sect. Regardless of whether it was alchemy path powerhouses or martial path powerhouses, they all could not afford to provoke.


    Seeing this, Wang Lin and Zheng Qian smiled even brighter.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said indifferently, ��Isn��t it just 50 thousand plus contribution points? Isn��t it done if I repay it today? How big a matter is it, to make you all look self-righteous? It��s really scary!��


    Wang Lin laughed loudly and said, ��Isn��t it just 50 thousand plus contribution points? Hahaha �� do you think that you��re an Emperor Realm powerhouse? Even if it��s an Emperor Realm powerhouse, it��s also impossible to conjure 50 thousand contribution points out within a day! Not scared of spraining your tongue from talking big too!��


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about him and looked at Guo Fang and said, ��I��m going to earn contribution points now. Do you want to follow or not?��


    Guo Fang��s brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded his head and said, ��If you want to delay the time, that��s up to you too. But it��s only limited to today!��


    Ye Yuan had just exited seclusion today. If he could repay it today, he would naturally have nothing to say.


    If he directly captured him, it would go against the rules instead.


    Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense either, turning around and leaving.


    The Merit Hall, the place where the Extreme Medicine Sect issued missions and to exchange for contribution points.


    This method of contribution points was also the way in which the vast majority of sects maintain normal operations.


    No matter how large the sect was, it was not a bottomless hole either.


    Over time, resources would ultimately be consumed.


    Hence, each disciple had the duty of maintaining the operation of the sect, including the sect master.


    At this time, a large group of people flooded into the Merit Hall at once, immediately attracting countless gazes.


    Ye Yuan came before the mission desk and directly opened his mouth, saying, ��I��m Emperor Zuo Chen��s disciple, I want to see Martial Uncle Feiwen!��


    Chen Feiwen, Merit Hall��s top person-in-charge, and also Zuo Chen��s senior apprentice brother.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know him. It was Yang Qing who told him.


    That disciple was merely Saint Sovereign Heaven. Upon hearing that he was Zuo Chen��s disciple, he naturally did not dare to be neglectful. Very soon, Chen Feiwen came out and sized Ye Yuan up and down.


    ��You��re Ye Yuan? I heard that your talent is extremely monstrous. It��s a shame that you��re a divergent cultivator! What are you finding me for?�� Chen Feiwen asked.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��m here to exchange for contribution points.��


    Chen Feiwen frowned and said, ��I remember that you seem to have just exited seclusion, right? Haven��t even taken on missions yet? What are you using to redeem contribution


    points?��


    Chen Feiwen naturally did not know ordinary Saint Sovereign Heavens.


    But Ye Yuan��s reputation was too great. It was impossible for Chen Feiwen not to hear about him too.


    ��Heh heh, Martial Uncle Feiwen, Ye Yuan owes the Scripture Library 54 thousand contribution points. He says that he can earn it in a day. We feel that he��s formidable, so we followed to take a look.�� Wang Lin interjected at an appropriate time.


    Chen Feiwen was stupefied and could not help laughing as he said, ��Brat, bragging isn��t a good habit! Forget about you; even if it��s this seat, it��s impossible to earn 50 thousand contribution points in a day too!��


    Wang Lin smiled and said, ��Martial Uncle, Ye Yuan is a person who creates miracles. Maybe he really has the ability to earn 50 thousand contribution points in a day!��


    Chen Feiwen knew that he was not on good terms with Ye Yuan and also discerned the mockery in his words. He looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Oh? What are you using to earn 50 thousand contribution points?��


    ��Take them!��


    Ye Yuan did not waste his breath either, flicking his sleeves grandly. A pile of jade slips instantly appeared on the ground, piling up as high as a small hill!


    These jade slips were precisely acquired by him in the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    In the 50 years before he came to Heaven One Continent, he had been studying these things too.


    Otherwise, it was impossible for him to reach profound grade so quickly. The grade of these jade slips was not high. It was also about the same as those jade slips on the fifth and sixth levels of the Scripture Library.


    But the things recorded in these jade slips were absolutely extraordinary! When the Labyrinth Divine Palace was at the height of its power and splendor, how glorious was that?


    Their alchemy path strength was only stronger and not weaker compared to the current Extreme Medicine Sect!


    Ordinary things, they simply held it in contempt!


    Those able to be housed in the Treasure Depository Pavilion were all treasures among treasures.


    Originally, Ye Yuan planned on directly donating these to the Extreme Medicine Sect. But now, it seemed like redeeming for contribution points was pretty good too. The appearance of these jade slips made the room full of people jump in fright.


    What was this playing at? When Wang Lin saw, he could not help laughing and said, ��I was wondering what capability you have. It turns out that it��s just a bunch of lousy jade slips! In this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, what place could have more records than our Extreme Medicine Sect?��


    Zheng Qian also smiled and said, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Wang must be joking. He��s planning on using numbers to score a victory! Think about it, even if one jade slip is worth 50 contribution points, a thousand jade slips will be worth 50 thousand too!��


    But could one jade slip be worth 50 contribution points?


    Impossible!


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s scripture library could be said to be filled to the roof with books.


    There were God knows how many jade slips of all levels.


    These jade slips were at the very most adding flowers to embroidery. That was all. It was not worth any money.


    Moreover, what good stuff could a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven have?


    Could his jade slips be more impressive than the records that those Hegemon Realms spent hundreds of thousands of years to collect?


    Chen Feiwen also smiled and said, ��Martial Nephew Ye, if you want to use numbers of exchange for contribution points, I��m afraid that it won��t pass! You got to know that the records in the Scripture Library, those were all screened through. Records that are second-rate can��t enter the Scripture Library at all. Even if they enter, if it��s not very valuable, it��s at most giving you three to five contribution points too. Therefore, you��d best take these things back.��


    Ye Yuan did not get angry either but smiled and said, ��Martial Uncle��s words are a little too hasty. Why not pick one to take a look first? How about it?��


    Chen Feiwen shook his head and said with a smile, ��Fine. There��s no harm in taking a look.��


    Wang Lin and the others had mocking looks on their faces too.


    Just you hang on stubbornly! Hence, Chen Feiwen casually picked up a jade slip and sank his divine sense into it.


    Very soon, his expression changed drastically!


    ��This �� This is actually the long-lost Profound Heart Entering Dream Chapter!��


    Shock was written all over Chen Feiwen��s face, and he looked toward Ye Yuan.


    This Profound Heart Entering Dream Chapter was definitely able to reach the level of entering the Scripture Library��s sixth level.


    Furthermore, it was an excellent piece!


    Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected it and said with a smile, ��Martial Uncle, take another look?��


    Chen Feiwen��s hands trembled, his eyes when looking at Ye Yuan again became different.


    You wouldn��t be telling me that so many jade slips are all on the same level as the Profound Heart Entering Dream Chapter, right?


    While being half-dubious, he could not resist picking up another jade slip. His expression changed again!

 Chapter 2858 - Words Hell-Bent on Shocking People to Death!

    Chapter 2858 Words Hell-Bent on Shocking People to Death!


    Vintage!


    It was still a vintage!


    They were all vintages!


    Chen Feiwen looked at one after another. He was shocked until it could not be any greater!


    A small hill-like pile of vintage records!


    Then would there be any that��s there to make up the numbers inside?


    Chen Feiwen grabbed one inside. This was even more incredible.


    He had never even heard of the name before!


    However, based on the records logged in this jade slip, he could tell that it was extremely precious at a glance!


    Seeing Chen Feiwen, who became increasingly more shocked, Wang Lin and the others finally could not laugh anymore.


    You wouldn��t be freaking acting out a play with Ye Yuan, right?


    One or two, I believe!


    Three or five, I believe too!


    But, don��t tell me that in this hill-like pill of jade slips, it was all filled with incredible records, right?


    Suddenly, Chen Feiwen stopped his movements. Looking at Ye Yuan with a solemn face, he said, ��Martial Uncle Ye, this matter is of utmost importance. It concerns the sect��s prosperity and decline. I can��t make a final decision anymore! I��ll go and report it to the sect master right away and have him make the final call!��


    Finished saying, he immediately flashed away, leaving behind the dumbfounded-looking crowd.


    This �� already rose to the level of the sect��s prosperity and decline?


    Martial Uncle, could you not exaggerate things to raise an alarm?


    Just a bunch of lousy jade slips; was there a need?


    A moment later, Song Qingyang came, Fan Li came, several of the sect��s big shots all came!


    It was a matter of the sect��s prosperity and decline. They could not refrain from making their moves!


    With regards to Ye Yuan, Song Qingyang was already speechless.


    My little ancestor, can��t you keep a lower profile?


    How did things end up as some major matter that caused a great sensation in the entire sect?


    Facing the look in Song Qingyang��s eyes, Ye Yuan returned a helpless look.


    I didn��t want to either!


    But, since someone forced me to take contribution points out, then I could only begrudgingly agree.


    These things should be enough for him to do whatever he pleases in the sect after redeeming for contribution points, right?


    When Song Qingyang and the others arrived at the Merit Hall, they picked up those jade slips that piled up like a small hill. The more they looked, the more solemn their expressions were, and the more shocked their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan.


    Did this guy dig up all the Alchemy Dao treasures across the heavens?!


    Too impressive! Each of these jade slips was worth a fortune. They could not be measured in monetary terms at all.


    Of course, they were unable to be measured using contribution points too!


    With these alchemy records, one could even create another Extreme Medicine Sect!


    Too impressive!


    Song Qingyang already could not find the words to describe Ye Yuan.


    It was as if only the word ��impressive�� could showcase Ye Yuan��s prowess.


    Seeing the expressions of the group of big shots changing one after another, Wang Lin they all finally broke down.


    Everyone present was curious about just how incredible these jade slips that Ye Yuan took out were!


    Including Wang Lin they all!


    They lost so unwillingly!


    Song Qingyang put down the jade slip in his hand, spat out a turbid breath heavily, and said to Ye Yuan, ��Ye Yuan, the value of these jade slips are simply incalculable! How about this? The sect won��t reward you contribution points anymore either. From now on, whatever you need, ask the sect directly! All kinds of resources that you need to cultivate, the sect will supply it limitlessly!��


    The moment these words came out, the whole place was shocked! W-Was it so amazing?


    This reward was too freaking amazing! What were contribution points? Those who entered the sect could not do without it!


    Within the sect, everything that you did revolve around contribution points!


    Regarding this point, the sect master, elders, even the Extreme Light Pavilion and Hegemon Realms were all like that!


    Did the sect master need contribution points for whatever heavenly medicine he needed?


    Yes!


    If the sect master wanted something from the sect, then he would have to exchange for it by taking out the corresponding value! But Song Qingyang��s words meant that from today onward, Ye Yuan no longer needed to worry about contribution points!


    He could take whatever he wanted!


    Too crazy! Ye Yuan was only grade five realm currently!


    After he stepped into Emperor Realm, or even reached Emperor Sakra Heaven in the future and needed those grade nine heavenly medicines, was it still taking whatever he pleased?


    Yes!


    It was because the use of these books was too great!


    Song Qingyang did not doubt in the slightest that these records were able to advance the Extreme Medicine Sect��s alchemy path strength by a significant deal!


    After today, all of the Emperor Realm powerhouses in the sect would probably make a headlong rush to enter the Scripture Library and borrow these records!


    Their strength would advance by leaps and bounds for some time to come!


    Looking at things from a broader perspective, Ye Yuan taking these alchemy records out would let the strength of the Heaven One Alliance side rise tremendously!


    It would have enormous significance on the war as a whole!


    Therefore, the contribution points were already impossible to measure!


    And exemption from contribution points, this had probably never happened in the history of any major sect before.


    In the history of the Extreme Medicine Sect, Ye Yuan was the only one!


    This little martial uncle was really amazing!


    How many earth-shattering major things had he already done as soon as he entered the sect?


    ��I agree! These records are too precious! Using it can practically make a fresh start elsewhere and create another Extreme Medicine Sect! This reward isn��t overboard!�� Fan Li said with a nod.


    n


    W


    ��I have no objections either! Hurry up and arrange it. I��m going into closed-seclusion right away! With these things, I might be able to comprehend origin!�� Miao Chuan was too impatient to wait. ��I agree!�� ��I agree too!��


    The few big shots present were virtually unanimous.


    Then the whole place erupted into an uproar!


    Crazy! Really insane!


    ��Did you hear it? Create another Extreme Medicine Sect! This Ye Yuan is simply incredible!��


    ��This guy really has tremendous fortune, to actually be able to obtain so many treasures!��


    ��Wang Lin they all have set the explosives on fire! With this, they blew themselves up until nothing remained!��


    ��


    ��


    The whole place was in an uproar, discussing animatedly.


    The scene before their eyes was seriously too shocking!


    Especially Fan Li��s comments, it practically drove the Extreme Medicine Sect disciples present crazy.


    This guy was insane, right!


    The things that could establish a sect, you gave it to the sect just like that?


    People were all selfish. The value of these things was sufficient to move them.


    Starting a sect and establishing a faction, standing proudly at the apex!


    Who did not want this sort of thing?


    Just as everyone was inexplicably shocked, Ye Yuan waved his hands nonchalantly and said, ��No need. These jade slips, I planned on donating them to the sect in the first place. It��s just that after entering the sect, I was anxious to break through to profound grade and forget to deal with them. Now, it��s great. Sect Master, I��ll use them to exchange for 54,450 contribution points. In addition, just reward me with some grade five heavenly medicines will do.��


    In the next second, the whole place became dead silent!


    Even Song Qingyang was stupefied on the spot too!


    Was this boy crazy?


    He was actually going to donate these treasures to the sect free of charge?


    These were all priceless treasures. You gave them away so casually?


    Although they were on the receiving side, Song Qingyang still felt that it was too rash and too improper!


    Prodigal!


    As for 54,450 contribution points, what the hell did that count for!


    ��Y-You��re not joking, right?�� The corners of Song Qingyang��s mouth twitched slightly as he said.


    He had already been completely defeated by this little martial uncle!


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��When I acknowledged Master Zuo Chen as my master, I told him that I��ll be giving these treasures on me to the sect. In return, I��ll get to freely browse inside the Scripture Library. Now, since I��ve already entered the Scripture Library, everything naturally don��t have to be mentioned anymore. However, I have a request. These jade slips that I donated are open to all sect disciples for free!��

 Chapter 2859 - Most Difficult in History!

    Chapter 2859 Most Difficult in History!


    ��This guy is crazy, right? That��s limitless contribution points!��


    ��With limitless resources, cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds, and he can use countless grandmist treasures to arm himself, he �� actually doesn��t want it?��


    ��Donating so many records, it��s just for him to repay the Scripture Library��s contribution points? What a waste! However, Wang Lin and the others, their faces are also slapped resoundingly!��


    ����


    You could say that again.


    Wang Lin wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into right now.


    Didn��t you say that 50 thousand contribution points were very hard to get?


    I could earn 500 thousand, five million, 50 million, but I don��t want to!


    I just want 50 thousand contribution points!


    How is it? Does your face hurt?


    Song Qingyang was speechless. This little martial uncle was too good at posturing!


    However, he still shook his head and said, ��No way, that way, the sect will owe you too much! This kind of treasure is astonishing!


    If it was an ordinary disciple and the sect profited at his expense, then fine.


    But who was Ye Yuan? Little martial uncle!


    Even if you gave me, I would not dare to take it too!


    Ye Yuan naturally knew what he was thinking about and said with a smile, ��If Sect Master feels that you owe me too much, then I have a suggestion. I wonder if Sect Master is willing to listen to it?��


    Song Qingyang nodded and said, ��Say it!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Now that a great enemy stands before us, if we��re still fettered by old conventions, it��s no different from committing suicide. Since our Extreme Medicine Sect is an alchemy overlord, then we should shoulder the responsibility of an alchemy overlord. I feel that some of the sect��s resources can be opened up to the entire Heaven One! Such as the Scripture Library, such as some training grounds.��


    The moment these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!


    This was a big move! What a sect relied on to establish itself across the heavens were these resources.


    Therefore, no matter which sect it was, they would be very stringent with these resources.


    Ye Yuan could easily enter the Scripture Library, that was because his status was high enough.


    For ordinary disciples, even if it was staying in the Scripture Library for a day, they would have to budget it stringently, let alone people outside of the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Now, Ye Yuan was actually going to share these resources in the Scripture Library with Heaven One Continent. This was simply insane!


    Many disciples looked at Ye Yuan like looking at an idiot. Who did you think you were?


    When was it your turn to come and meddle in this sort of thing?


    Suddenly, a figure appeared, pointing at Ye Yuan��s nose as he scolded, ��Impudent! Ye Yuan, who the hell do you think you are? How the sect operates, how can it be what you can speak recklessly about? These resources are all where our Extreme Medicine Sect��s foundation lies. Opening it up to the entire Heaven One is severing the sect��s foundation! You have malicious motives!��


    This person was none other than precisely Qin Shan!


    This mighty Emperor Vast Heaven expert went onto the playing field personally.


    However, Ye Yuan did not know him. He just said with a strange expression, ��Did you turn dumb from cultivation? If I want to sever the sect��s foundation, would I still take these things out?��


    Qin Shan��s face turned black, and he said in a great rage, ��Conceited brat! You have no respect for your elders and engage in wild talks here. You should be punished for your crimes!��


    At this time, an Emperor Sakra Heaven sect elder suddenly spoke up, ��Sect Master, this boy is too haughty, treating his elders with contempt. He should be killed!��


    He was called Jiang Yuandao, a backbone figure of the conservative faction.


    Ye Yuan��s words displeased him greatly too.


    Not just him, Ye Yuan��s words immediately attracted the strong opposition of the conservative faction.


    Immediately, the spearheads of all the Emperor Realm powerhouses pointed at Ye Yuan.


    At present, the majority of the Emperor Realm powerhouses remaining in the sect belonged to the conservative faction.


    Therefore, their voices of condemnation toward Ye Yuan grew higher than the previous wave. It was virtually one-sided!


    Out of their mouths, Ye Yuan became a criminal who committed the most heinous crimes, and they would not be content with anything less than killing him.


    Everyone felt that Ye Yuan was finished!


    Incurring public wrath, Zuo Chen could not protect you too!


    Although Song Qingyang and the group of upper echelons had calm faces, there were indescribable peculiarness in their hearts.


    Disrespecting elders?


    Your Father doesn��t even dare to be so unbridled in front of Little Martial Uncle. You guys are really awesome!


    However, Ye Yuan��s words indeed had too great an implication. They had no choice but to be cautious.


    It was just that with Ye Yuan��s identity, since he said this kind of words, was that the will of the ancestors?


    ��All shut up for me!�� Song Qingyang yelled coldly. The world became quiet.


    He said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, the implications of this matter are too great. This sect master can��t make the decision! But I��ll report your idea to the Extreme Light Pavilion and let the pavilion elders make a final decision!��


    Ye Yuan said with clasped hands, ��Then I��ll have to trouble Sect Master!��


    Everyone burst into an uproar again! Were the heavens changing? The suggestion given by a Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually going to be reported to the Extreme Light Pavilion? Too crazy!


    It was as if countless face-slapping sounds had sounded out in the air.


    While Jiang Yuandao, Qin Shan, and the rest were staring with their mouths agape.


    Sect Master and the group of big shots would actually care about a junior��s view?


    Even if you donated these treasures, you could not use it to put pressure on the sect too, right?


    But very soon, everyone felt relieved.


    After all, having donated these treasures, Sect Master was letting Ye Yuan��s face look a little better for the time being.


    Reporting to Extreme Light Pavilion?


    It did not exist!


    ��Ye Yuan, such a good opportunity just now. It would have been great for you to exchange for an Imperial Extreme Pill too! In order to posture, you��re not even caring about your brother anymore?�� Yang Qing said weakly.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, ��Imperial Extreme Pill for what? The sect��s heavenly pills are also nothing more than this. I��ll refine a better one for you and let you posture and slap faces, alright?��


    Yang Qing��s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, ��Is this for real?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Of course it��s real!��


    Zheng Qian sneered and said, ��Huhu, what high-sounding sentiments! Who do you think you are, to actually look down on the sect��s heavenly pills! Don��t forget. You��re only grade five realm! So what if profound grade? Can you refine profound grade heavenly imperial pills? What a joke!�� Wang Lin similarly said disdainfully, ��Huhu, in the entire Extreme Medicine Sect, there��s only you, one heavenly alchemist! Profound grade expert, how formidable!��


    Ye Yuan gave Wang Lin a glance and suddenly said with a smile, ��Senior Apprentice Brother Wang, doesn��t your face hurt?��


    Wang Lin was taken aback, his face really turning somewhat hot.


    He was seriously too oppressed!


    Targeting Ye Yuan time and again, in the end, this guy slapped his face each time!


    How shameful!


    ��You guys can naturally mock me. However, you have to be prepared to be slapped by me!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.


    These words were domineering!


    Entering the sect for ten years, how many earth-shattering major things had Ye Yuan done?


    Starting from the first day, Ye Yuan had already caused a great sensation. Then, each time was more impressive than the last, and each time more sensational than the last.


    Until now, it was as if the entire Extreme Medicine Sect was revolving around Ye Yuan.


    What right did a divergent cultivator trash have?


    ��What heavenly medicines did he take?�� Qin Shan asked with a solemn face.


    ��Crane Needle Profound Tea, Five-Directional Divine Rain ���� Wang Lin reported a series of heavenly medicine names, his gaze full of mockery.


    Qin Shan could not help being stupefied when he heard it and said, ��Infinite Comprehensive Pill?!


    Wang Lin smiled and said, ��Exactly so! This boy really doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Just broke through to profound grade for ten years and he dares to refine the Infinite Comprehensive Pill, which is known as the most difficult in history! Hahaha �� That Yang Qing is probably going to be scammed to death by him!��


    Qin Shan also could not help laughing as he said, ��This boy, really �� Infinite Comprehensive Pill, even if I take action, being able to refine true grade is already pushing it to the point of bursting! Where does he get the courage to dare refine this?��

 Chapter 2860 - I Feel … Somewhat Bloated!

    Chapter 2860 I Feel �� Somewhat Bloated!


    Below the life-and-death stage, there were streams of people.


    Originally, this battle was just between Luo Hao and Yang Qing two people. It would not have attracted too much attention.


    But, because of Ye Yuan, the influence of this battle became huge.


    Even Yang Qing himself admitted that he could not last a single exchange with Luo Hao.


    Then could Ye Yuan defy the heavens?


    ��Incredible! It seems like in the sect, there��s no one who can refine the Infinite Comprehensive Pill at all! Is that Ye Yuan going to defy the heavens?�� ��What a joke. He��s the youngest profound grade powerhouse in history! How can a mere Infinite Comprehensive Pill stump him?�� ��Heh heh, this brat really talks big!��


    �� ��


    A series of mocking voices came from below the stage.


    The corners of Luo Hao��s mouth could not help curling slightly when he heard these discussion voices.


    Why was the Infinite Comprehensive Pill called the hardest in history?


    It was because it was an extremely rare all-attributes heavenly pill!


    What was called an all-attributes heavenly pill?


    After consuming it, one��s strength would skyrocket in all aspects!


    Divine essence, Great Dao rule, the power of rules, origin divinity, physical body, so on and so forth, these aspects would all have an all-round improvement! This kind of heavenly pill sounded fantastical, even somewhat frightening. Of course, because it had such a heaven-defying medicinal effect, its refining difficulty was also the hardest among same rank heavenly pills!


    The difficulty was hell level! How difficult was it?


    A grade eight heavenly alchemist like Qin Shan could not refine a profound grade Infinite Comprehensive Pill too. He could refine true grade, but the medicine effect of true grade was basically only a little better than nothing to True Sovereign Heavens. The difficulty was high, but the medicinal effect was ordinary.


    Only by reaching profound grade could it truly have a heaven-grade effect.


    Hence, in the Extreme Medicine Sect, there wasn��t such a heavenly pill at all.


    It was not that nobody could refine it, but exalted Hegemon Realms would not run over to refine a grade five heavenly imperial pill for you, right? Furthermore, the heavenly medicines that the Infinite Comprehensive Pill needed were extremely precious too. They were even more valuable than some grade six heavenly medicines!


    This was because they were too rare.


    It was also that this was a super sect like the Extreme Medicine Sect. For ordinary sects, they would not be able to even collect the heavenly medicines.


    Therefore, when they knew that Ye Yuan was going to refine the Infinite Comprehensive Pill, the entire sect scoffed with derision.


    Two days ago, Ye Yuan slapped the faces of everyone in the sect.


    Today, everyone came to watch Ye Yuan become a joke!


    Below the stage, Yang Qing appeared somewhat anxious.


    The life-and-death battle was about to begin right away, but Ye Yuan still had not come.


    ��What are you looking at, Yang Qing? You wouldn��t really think that Ye Yuan can bring the Infinite Comprehensive Pill and come help you change your fate, right?�� Luo Hao arrived before Yang Qing and said with a snicker. Yang Qing said with a cold snort, ��Mind your own business!��


    Luo Hao��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Yang Qing, just you show off! After getting on the life-and-death stage, you��ll know what��s called despair! You killed my younger brother. I��m going to sentence you to eternal damnation!��


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��Your younger brother colluded with the blood race and butchered his own species, committing countless crimes and misdeeds. Landing in my hands, I couldn��t let him live! Even if we do this again, Your Father will still kill him without fail!��


    When he was carrying out missions, he accidentally discovered that Luo Hao��s younger brother was cultivating with human blood, his methods being extremely cruel.


    The ordinary martial artists who died at his hands were beyond count.


    Yang Qing was normally casual, but with regards to this sort of thing, he really would not be careless.


    Hence, he killed Luo Hao��s younger brother.


    Who knew that this person was actually Luo Hao��s younger brother!


    Before his younger brother died, he sent Yang Qing��s information to Luo Hao.


    In the end, the two people sowed irreconcilable enmity.


    Before Luo Hao��s younger brother died, he did things cleanly. Yang Qing did not bring back any evidence.


    meone


    With regards to Yang Qing killing someone from the same sect, as long as it was outside the Extreme Medicine Sect, there wasn��t this restriction.


    This way, the two people each stuck to their own versions and could only use a life-and-death battle to resolve it.


    When Luo Hao challenged him, Yang Qing was not a cowardly person either, directly accepting


    it.


    Although he clearly knew that he was not a match.


    Luo Hao gave Yang Qing a glance and said coolly, ��Keep framing charges! Very soon, you won��t be able to talk anymore!��


    Time slowly trickled by. Ye Yuan still did not have the intention of showing up.


    Luo Hao leaped onto the life-and-death stage and shouted, ��Yang Qing, the hour has come. Why haven��t you come up in haste to prepare to die?��


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said, ��There��s still 15 minutes. What are you anxious about!��


    ��Haha, Yang Qing, stop struggling! Ye Yuan boasted too much. He absolutely won��t dare to come!�� Zheng Qian said with a loud laugh.


    In reality, that was what everyone thought.


    The hardest in history was not said for fun!


    To profound grade powerhouses, this was a hell-level difficulty too!


    ��Yang Qing, give up hope! If Ye Yuan dares to come, Your Father will pluck my head off for you to kick like a ball!�� Wang Lin also said with a cold smile.


    Yang Qing gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Grandpa Qing has remembered what you said!��


    While he said so, Yang Qing��s heart was also a little nervous.


    Time was almost up. Ye Yuan did not even show a hint of a shadow!


    ��Son of a bitch, hurry up and come! If you don��t come, Your Father is going to die!�� Yang Qing cursed wildly in his heart. Luo Hao smiled coldly and said, ��Delaying the time can��t change the final outcome! Forget it that he doesn��t dare to come. Even if he really refines the Infinite Comprehensive Pill, you��ll definitely die today beyond doubt too!��


    As he said, he arrived in front of the judge and said with clasped hands, ��Martial Uncle, the time has come!��


    That Emperor Realm powerhouse nodded slightly and said to Yang Qing, ��The time is up. Yang Qing, take the stage!��


    Yang Qing��s face turned black. This punk really stood him up?


    F*** me!


    However, he also knew that he could not drag the time anymore.


    Helpless, he could only leap onto the stage!


    ��Catch!��


    Just as he was dangling in the air, a streak of flowing light flashed and flew straight over.


    Yang Qing was overjoyed, swiping a vial with a grab and landing on the stage.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Qing immediately opened up the vial and downed it in one gulp. Everyone did not have time to determine whether or not that was the Infinite Comprehensive Pill.


    And only at this time did Ye Yuan��s figure slowly appear.


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    This guy really came?


    That thing just now was the Infinite Comprehensive Pill?


    This guy would not have randomly gotten some heavenly pill to posture, right?


    Luo Hao��s expression changed, and he said to the judge, ��The time is up. Martial Uncle, please announce the immediate commencement!��


    The judge nodded and said, ��Getting on the life-and-death stage, life and death are your own responsibility! Begin!�� Luo Hao did not feel that Ye Yuan could really refine a profound grade Infinite Comprehensive Pill, but he would not give Yang Qing the chance to refine the heavenly pill!


    This was the life-and-death stage. It was no laughing matter!


    Whether or not it was, it would not be too late to verify after Yang Qing died! ��HAH!��


    Luo Hao slashed a saber over, immediately stirring up the wind and clouds!


    Three power of rules were immediately performed by him to the extreme!


    He was a genius!


    The moment this saber came out, forget about Yang Qing; even his senior and junior brothers, who were similarly half-step Emperor Realm, absolutely could not block it too!


    One saber and they would be met with a violent death! But, when he saw that playful look in Yang Qing��s eyes, his expression could not help changing wildly!


    Over here, Yang Qing��s entire body instantly ruptured when the medicinal pill entered his abdomen!


    He only felt as if his soul was about to ascend!


    That liberating feeling made him unable to hold back a groan.


    Too wonderful!


    In virtually an instant, he felt as if his strength was like a rising tide. It was rising sharply and crazily!


    ��I feel �� somewhat bloated!��

 Chapter 2861 - Who Asked You to Posture!

    Chapter 2861 Who Asked You to Posture!


    Yang Qing was really bloated! He felt like he was a balloon, being inflated with air at a very rapid rate!


    Ta


    This heavenly pill was too amazing!


    Boom!


    At the place where Yang Qing was standing, space exploded. Stones flew everywhere.


    Under Luo Hao��s saber, there was no chance to get lucky at all.


    ��Dead?��


    ��Definitely dead! No matter how amazing the heavenly pill is, it��s also impossible to skyrocket instantly! There has to be a process to digest the medicinal strength!��


    cess


    ��True! Ye Yuan must have come at this time deliberately. Either way, Yang Qing will be dead too. We also can��t investigate what kind of heavenly pill he consumed. Indeed a divine scam, to be able to scam his teammate like this!��


    How swift and fierce was Luo Hao��s saber?


    This saber of his was simply a miracle in the eyes of others!


    Hence, Yang Qing had to die!


    But there were still many Emperor Realm powerhouses present. However, their expressions were unprecedentedly solemn. ��Break, break, break!��


    On the life-and-death stage, an angry roar suddenly came over. Yang Qing��s figure appeared again, his entire body dyed in blood!


    Clearly, Luo Hao��s move earlier had already inflicted heavy wounds on him.


    However, he ultimately still relied on the Infinite Comprehensive Pill and evaded it!


    Although seriously wounded, his aura was rising crazily, and his realm actually directly broke through to upper True Sovereign Heaven.


    Furthermore, this realm was still increasing rapidly!


    His strength was skyrocketing, rising sharply in all aspects!


    Physical body, divine essence, power of rules, so on and so forth.


    Everyone was stunned!


    Yang Qing actually evaded it?


    He was clearly not an opponent who could last one exchange with Luo Hao. How could he avoid this blade?


    The Infinite Comprehensive Pill was so amazing?


    Yes, it was even more incredible than they imagined!


    Because when Ye Yuan was refining the pill, some mutation even happened.


    His power of blessing activated!


    The medicinal effect of this Infinite Comprehensive Pill was ten times that of ordinary profound grade heavenly pills! The powerful medicinal strength directly poured into Yang Qing��s body, seemingly opening up the water gates of his realm, rising crazily!


    Furthermore, Yang Qing was in a very mysterious state currently.


    Originally, he could not keep up with Luo Hao.


    But now, Luo Hao��s every movement and action was within his grasp.


    The reason why he was seriously wounded was that his bodily functions could not keep up with Luo Hao.


    But he still barely managed to avoid it.


    ��Humph! So what if you took the Infinite Comprehensive Pill? I won��t give you the chance to refine the medicinal effect!��


    Luo Hao gave a cold snort, the saber momentum rising again!


    Hence, he unleashed his blade frenziedly!


    Each saber slash was stronger than the last! On the life-and-death stage, it was saber images everywhere, bedazzling people��s eyes. But Luo Hao was panicking! Saber had saber momentum. A powerhouse like Luo Hao naturally knew how to utilize saber momentum even more.


    With each saber slash after another, his imposing momentum would rise to a very terrifying realm.


    Even the ranked one Cao Dian would not dare to let him accumulate saber momentum at his discretion too! But his saber actually got further and further away from Yang Qing! ��Luo Hao is impressive! This grandson is definitely going to die without a burial ground!��


    ��Well-deserving of being the number one saber in True Sovereign! Luo Hao, finish him off!��


    ��Hahaha �� What rubbish Infinite Comprehensive Pill, too weak! Too weak!��


    ����


    Those True Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens did not know the inner reason. Seeing Luo Hao��s saber momentum get stronger and stronger, they cheered him on frenziedly. However, the face-slapping came so quickly!


    Boom! Amidst the saber images, a streak of black light suddenly appeared! The saber images that filled the sky dissipated with a loud bang.


    Luo Hao��s body directly collided with the protection screen like a kite with a broken string.


    Yang Qing stood holding his spear, his imposing momentum surging to the sky, being incredibly domineering!


    Although he sustained rather severe injuries, it was like he had been reborn anew at this time.


    That Sovereign Azuresky, who considered himself without equal in the world, had returned again!


    Yang Qing pointed at Luo Hao with his long spear and said indifferently, ��What rubbish number one saber in True Sovereign, weak to the max! From today onwards, Your Father is the number one spear in True Sovereign! No, wait, it��s number one in True Sovereign! If you��re not convinced, feel free to come and challenge, Your Father will receive it all! Just the likes of you trash also dare to posture in front of this sovereign, it serves you right to get slapped! Hahaha, Cao Dian, after I kill Luo Hao, do you dare to fight or not?�� The current Yang Qing was inflated to the extreme.


    He felt that he was already invincible under the heavens!


    This Infinite Comprehensive Pill was too amazing!


    Too amazing!


    Ever since stepping onto Heaven One Continent, he no longer had that feeling of looking down upon the world in the past.


    But now, he finally regained this feeling.


    The king was undefeated!


    His strength had soared several hundred times over!


    Furthermore, it was an all-around improvement!


    His cultivation realm, he already reached grand completion True Sovereign Heaven!


    His physical body, it similarly reached grand completion True Sovereign Heaven!


    His origin divinity, it was also grand completion True Sovereign Heaven!


    Even in terms of power of rules, he achieved mastery, with Spear Dao and power of rules reaching peak rank six at the same time!


    The crux was that the soaring in strength did not let him feel fleeting and ephemeral, but it was incomparably solid instead!


    He had never seen before such an amazing heavenly pill!


    Yang Qing knew that the heavenly pill that Ye Yuan refined might be very impressive.


    But he did not think that the heavenly pill that Ye Yuan refined would actually be so awesome!


    Below the life-and-death stage, Cao Dian��s face became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Got to admit, Yang Qing was seriously too capable of drawing aggro! This guy was currently boundlessly inflated!


    The most important thing was that his strength was sufficient to support his inflation!


    That spear just now, Cao Dian saw it clearly.


    He could not receive it!


    What shitty luck!


    ��Okay, I��ll have a battle with you!�� Cao Dian was an extremely proud person too. How could he accepted to be provoked like this?


    Even if he clearly knew that he was not a match, he had to fight too!


    The strong would never fear challenges!


    ��Hahaha, Cao Dian, you have guts! But, from this day forth, you��ll have to live under the shadow of this sovereign!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Yang Qing sent out his long spear. Boom!


    Luo Hao, dead!


    The whole place was dead silent. There was only Yang Qing��s arrogant laughter. Did it end just like that? This �� This was also too fake, right?


    Luo Hao was True Sovereign Heaven rank fourth!


    He actually did not even have the strength to fight back under Yang Qing��s hands?


    Previously, they were all mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability to actually attempt to refine the most difficult pill in history, the Infinite Comprehensive Pill.


    Now, not only did Ye Yuan refine it, but he also used an extremely terrifying way to let Yang Qing rise up crazily!


    This face was really slapped resoundingly!


    was n


    Yang Qing himself also admitted that he could not last a single exchange with Luo Hao.


    But, after consuming Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill, he directly one-shotted Luo Hao!


    This kind of contrast really drove people nuts!


    How could you be so amazing?


    o an


    Wang Lin, Zheng Qian, Guo Fang, Qin Shan, and the rest had all turned their noses up at Ye Yuan previously, mocking him to the best of their ability.


    But now, those words seemed to have turned into slaps, slapping onto their faces crazily. ��Cao Dian, come up! Watch your Grandpa Qing wreck you!�� Yang Qing said complacently.


    He was already inflated to the extreme!


    The former king was already being completely taken lightly by him. Hearing this, everyone really wanted to go up and slap his face!


    But they could not do it!


    Cao Dian, you definitely can��t lose!


    Cao Dian went up the life-and-death stage with a black face.


    Yang Qing said to the judge, ��Old man, borrow the life-and-death stage to use! Today, I��m going to reign over True Sovereign Heaven!��


    Bang! The judge directly smacked Yang Qing into the dirt with a slap!


    Everyone felt incredibly satisfied! Who asked you to posture!

 Chapter 2862 - Expounding the Pros and Cons!

    Chapter 2862 Expounding the Pros and Cons!


    ��You��re full of yourself.��


    The judge looked at the Yang Qing in the dust and said nonchalantly.


    It served him right!


    This was what everyone present was thinking.


    Yang Qing got to his feet, looking at the judge with an unfriendly expression as he said, ��Humph humph! Old man, change is the only constant thing; the wheel of fortune turns! After my cultivation realm catches up to you, I��ll definitely smack you into the ground!��


    Smack him!


    Smack him to death!


    Everyone was shouting in their hearts.


    However, the judge actually gave him a profound glance and said with a nod, ��Boy, you��re pretty good! I��ll lend you this field!��


    Yang Qing snorted again and said, ��Don��t think that lending the field can resolve the grudge; I��m very vengeful!��


    The judge laughed loudly and said, ��Alright. Then I��ll wait for you!��


    Yang Qing was not long-winded either, leaping onto the stage. Cao Dian also followed closely behind.


    The moment the two people made their moves, they were their strongest attacks!


    But this time, they saw Yang Qing��s spear clearly.


    A domineering spear!


    Boom!


    It was only to hear a loud noise. Cao Dian shot out backward, but Yang Qing did not budge an inch.


    With one strike, the level was immediately established!


    Everyone was incredibly shocked.


    This was also too bloody freakish, right?


    ��I �� lost!�� Cao Dian threw down a sentence, turned around and left.


    The entire audience was in shock!


    With one heavenly pill, Yang Qing soared to the sky with one bound and became number one in True Sovereign Heaven?


    Unbelievable!


    What the hell kind of heavenly pill was this? Could you give me one?


    ��You trash, you mocked your Grandpa Qing daily for the past few days. Now, does this slap feel good? Hahaha ���� Yang Qing put away his long spear and laughed rampantly.


    Those people who had mocked him before wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    How could they have expected this kind of heaven-defying rise! ��Yang Qing, what are you being cocky for! If not for Ye Yuan, what the hell are you?�� Zheng Qian said with refusal to accept it as final.


    ��Yeah! The impressive one is Ye Yuan. What does it have to do with you?��


    ��You��ve performed all of his posturings, do you really think that you��re very impressive?��


    Everyone seemed to have found a relief outlet, rebutting Yang Qing frenziedly.


    Yang Qing did not care in the slightest and showed off. He said, ��Your Father can beat you all down by having such an awesome brother! If you��re not convinced, bring it on!��


    Everyone was speechless.


    You make a lot of sense. I actually have nothing to say in reply!


    Why did we not have a brother like Ye Yuan?


    Hence, the news of Ye Yuan defying the heavens with one pill swept throughout the entire Extreme Medicine Sect once more.


    The entire sect was incredibly shocked.


    Although the one who swept across True Sovereign Heaven was Yang Qing, everyone��s discussion was more focused on Ye Yuan. It was because the one who created this miracle was Ye Yuan!


    Even those Emperor Realm powerhouses and high level heavenly alchemists, were all shocked too.


    Such a heaven-defying heavenly pill, how did Ye Yuan refine it?


    Even if it was an all-attributes heavenly pill, it would not be to an extent of being so heaven-defying too, right?��


    Just what kind of additional material did Ye Yuan add?


    These people suddenly discovered that after Ye Yuan entered the sect, it seemed like all of the limelight had been snatched away by him alone!


    The Infinite Comprehensive Pill was hailed as the hardest in history!


    Ye Yuan was just grade five realm, and he actually refined it.


    Not only did he refine it, but the medicinal effect was also mind bogglingly amazing!


    Didn��t this mean that Ye Yuan��s alchemy strength already surpassed many grade eight heavenly alchemists?


    This was a �� freaking joke, right?


    Didn��t you just enter profound grade for ten years?


    What right do you have to be so impressive?


    Of course, this kind of small scene had nothing to do with Ye Yuan. He had already entered the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    As Hegemon Cloudmount��s little disciple, the sect had no choice but to take his words seriously.


    Moreover, he just gave the sect such great kindness!


    ��Little Junior Brother, this matter affects the situation as a whole. The implications are too big!�� Li Clearcloud said with a solemn expression.


    A pavilion elder said, ��I disagree as well! If people learn our things and run out to establish a sect, then our Extreme Medicine Sect will have many opponents out of the blue!��


    ��Little Martial Uncle, your seniority is high, but some ideas are still too naive!��


    ����


    In the Extreme Light Pavilion, virtually all the pavilion elders were opposed to Ye Yuan��s proposition.


    This kind of idea was too fanciful and fallacious!


    Creating many opponents out of the blue for themselves, this was a way of digging their own grave!


    This notion was already deeply entrenched in the hearts of people.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Pray tell, everyone. Since the Heaven One Alliance was established, how many powerhouses has our Heaven One Continent given birth to? Which powerhouses did our Extreme Medicine Sect give birth to?��


    Li Clearcloud��s brows furrowed, and he shook his head and said, ��Our Extreme Medicine Sect didn��t give birth to any true powerhouses. There have even been hundreds of Emperor Realm powerhouses who have already fallen because of the war! As for the other sects, there are mostly the same! In fact, they are even worse off than us!��


    ��That��s it!�� Ye Yuan said calmly, ��After the Heaven One Alliance was established, it seemed like everyone was united. But until now, you��re still only clearing away the snow in front of your own doors! Not only did our strength not get stronger, but we��re also being weakened by the blood race non-stop instead! In contrast, the blood race grew stronger the more they fought, and their powerhouses got more and more! I don��t know how long more the Absolute Heaven Barrier can still resist, but if things continue like this, we probably won��t be able to resist any more!�� The Extreme Light Pavilion��s pavilion elders had all gone to the front-lines before and fought with the blood race!


    Over these few thousand years, quite a number of the Extreme Light Pavilion��s pavilion elders had actually fallen too!


    These were all origin powerhouses, with hopes of stepping into Hegemon Realm in the future!


    As for the other sects, that went even more without saying.


    ��Many people in the sect have never been to the front-lines before. They probably don��t know the cruelty and dangers there at all, and they also don��t have much sense of danger. In fact, they even think that our Hegemon Realms are very strong, and they can keep the blood race��s powerhouses outside of the Absolute Heaven Barrier! But in reality? I saw strong worry on Master Cloudmount and Senior Apprentice Brother Pinespring��s faces! Even existences of their level completely don��t have the confidence too, right?��


    ��At this current situation, the various major sects are still thinking of preserving strength, pending to stage a comeback. It��s just that do they have this chance? I don��t believe that those Hegemon Realms can��t see this! But I feel that Divine Lord is probably lacking an opportunity! Since nobody is willing to take the lead, then why don��t �� our Extreme Medicine Sect break this stalemate!��


    ��Furthermore, I don��t feel that opening up resources will cause huge losses to the sect. On the contrary, I feel that it can make us become stronger instead! The Extreme Medicine Sect is an alchemy path leviathan, but the other sects similarly have their own foundations! If we open up resources, it can let those small sects undergo a mutual exchange of resources! Our disciples are elites among elites. Could it be that they would lose to them?��


    ILII


    Ye Yuan said a whole bunch at great length, expounding on the pros and cons.


    Ye Yuan had already prepared these words for a long time, making those pavilion lords dazed from listening


    Should these things be what you, a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven, consider?


    Hearing you speak, you directly substituted yourself as Divine Lord, His Excellency!


    However, each and every one of these pavilion elders was incredibly shocked in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan��s development was too big!


    When they were still conflicted about the sect��s interests, Ye Yuan had long already jumped out of the sect and placed his horizons across the entire Heaven One Continent, even the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    In reality, when Ye Yuan was at Northern View City, he had already understood from Zuo Chen in-depth about the present situation. These plans, he had long already worked them out.


    Talking about it at this time, it was enlightening the benighted. Proposing something like this from the perspective of Divine Lord, that was incredibly difficult


    It was because he had to balance the various great Hegemons and could not let anyone suffer a loss in benefits.


    Otherwise, this alliance would be done for.


    But breaking this bottleneck from the Extreme Medicine Sect could not be better. Once the Extreme Medicine Sect did it, the situation would be broken.


    Divine Lord would be able to push the boat along the current and carry out a transformation on the entire Heaven One Alliance, achieving a fusion!


    Only this kind of fusion could let Heaven One become stronger!


    Otherwise, they could only be encroached upon by the blood race step by step, and then all of them would fall into the enemy��s hands in the end.

 Chapter 2863 - Breaking the Stalemate!

    Chapter 2863 Breaking the Stalemate!


    With Ye Yuan defying the heavens with one pill, Yang Qing swept across True Sovereign!


    This matter set off huge waves in the Extreme Medicine Sect from top to bottom.


    But, before the aftermath of this matter had passed, a piece of news that was even more of a bolt out of the blue descended!


    This time, the ones who were shocked was not just the Extreme Medicine Sect, but it was the entire Heaven One Alliance!


    The Extreme Medicine Sect had opened up cultivation resources to the entire Heaven One Alliance.


    This news was too explosive!


    Of course, the one who got slapped the hardest were still the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples.


    Previously, they were all mocking Ye Yuan, thinking that it was impossible for this matter to be realized.


    Forget about the Extreme Light Pavilion agreeing to it, Sect Master was just brushing him off and would not bring this matter up to the Extreme Light Pavilion at all.


    Who knew that it was really brought up! However, they did not know that if Ye Yuan wanted to report it to the Extreme Light Pavilion, he did not need Song Qingyang at all.


    Bringing it up was not strange. What was scary was that the Extreme Light Pavilion actually really agreed!


    ��It��s crazy, right? This is something that shakes the sect��s foundation. The pavilion elders actually agreed?�� ��Where are the Hegemon ancestors? Ye Yuan messing around like this, they��re not going to control him too?��


    ��Motherf*cker, got slapped in the face again!��


    With regards to the Extreme Medicine Sect��s decision, everyone could not figure it out after racking their brains. What right did a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven have to have his suggestion be adopted after bringing it up?


    Furthermore, it was even such a major thing!


    The moment the news came out, the world was shocked!


    To itinerant cultivators and those small sects, this was absolutely a piece of huge good news!


    However, it was naturally impossible for this kind of release to be without additional conditions.


    For itinerant cultivators, those who used the Extreme Medicine Sect��s resources would be viewed as automatically joining the Heaven One Alliance and be subjected to the Heaven One Alliance��s unified allocation of resources!


    Small sects must open their resources to the Extreme Medicine Sect too.


    Furthermore, as long as they utilized the Extreme Medicine Sect��s resources, they would have to go and serve at the Absolute Heaven Barrier for three years!


    All sects were members of the Heaven One Alliance.


    But Heaven One Continent still had countless itinerant cultivators. These itinerant cultivators were a force that could not be overlooked.


    Among these people, there were brave ones who were killed at the Absolute Heaven Barrier all year round.


    But there was still a very large part that was huddling up in the rear.


    This decision of the Extreme Medicine Sect would immediately summon a large portion of itinerant cultivators.


    It would not do if they did not come!


    What did itinerant cultivators lack?


    Resources!


    Among itinerant cultivators, there were actually many geniuses. They suffered from a lack of cultivation resources, their cultivation realms having difficulty breaking through all along If their cultivation realm did not break through, they would have to face endless Dao tribulations!


    Come one day, they would die!


    With the Extreme Medicine Sect opening up resources, they would have hopes of breaking through their realms. In terms of cultivation resources, the Extreme Medicine Sect was absolutely positioned right at the top!


    They were virtually number one across the entire Heaven One Continent.


    Even the other two great Hegemon level sects could not compare to the Extreme Medicine Sect too.


    Therefore, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s cultivation resources had a fatal allure!


    This kind of good thing, no one would refuse it.


    Hence, countless powerhouses were gathering over at the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Furthermore, this way of doing things brought huge prestige to the Extreme Medicine Sect!


    ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is well-deserving of being an alchemy overlord. This great courage makes people admire them!�� ��The Extreme Medicine Sect is too responsible! After my strength breaks through, I must go to Absolute Heaven Barrier and showcase my abilities!��


    ��Putting aside sectarian views and breaking hundreds of millions of years old established practices, the Extreme Medicine Sect really has great breadth of spirit!��


    Among these people, they were naturally people who had great experience and knowledge too.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect having such an open attitude made them feel ashamed of their unworthiness. They secretly swore to definitely head to the Absolute Heaven Barrier. Every day, there were countless powerhouses gathering in front of the mountain pass gates.


    ses


    There was one more thing that made the entire Extreme Medicine Sect hate Ye Yuan to the core.


    From now on, all of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s disciples would take turns going to the Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    No matter whether you were of the conservative faction or not, you would have to be forced to the front-lines in the future.


    Hua Zong was stunned when he got this news.


    He discovered that the boasts that Ye Yuan made were really realized one by one!


    This little junior brother was truly remarkable!


    Why was he, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, impressive to this extent?


    Did the conservative faction remain silent about this?


    No!


    The moment the news came out, the conservative faction immediately carried out a large-scale reverse play.


    They practically swarmed out in full force, joining forces to exert pressure on the sect!


    The conservative faction��s forces practically occupied more than half of the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    Once they joined hands, the power could be imagined.


    However, right at this time, a dharmic decree descended from the sky, shocking the entire Extreme Medicine Sect!


    At this moment, that dharmic decree could be seen by the whole sect.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect��s four great Hegemon Realms joined hands to send down the dharmic decree, stating that the Extreme Light Pavilion��s decision was the will of the Hegemon Realms!


    With this, the Extreme Medicine Sect boiled over!


    The four great Hegemons were aloof from worldly affairs and had never expressed their attitudes with regard to this matter before.


    This time, they actually joined hands to send down the dharmic decree!


    No one could resist the will of the Hegemon Realms.


    Hence, they determined the world with one move, and the conservative faction��s voice was directly suppressed by this dharmic decree.


    ��Hahaha �� That boy indeed suits Your Father��s appetite the best! This move of his is really played beautifully! The thing that even this seat can��t do, he actually did it!��


    In the Absolute Heaven Barrier, Hegemon Cloudmount��s hearty laughter could be heard.


    However, not all the Hegemons could hear this laughter.


    It was because his voice was actively being isolated.


    But Divine Lord His Excellency could hear him.


    ��I really didn��t expect that this boy is actually so stunning, breaking the stalemate of several thousand years in one stroke! With this, those few stubborn old things will probably fly into a thunderous rage! Speaking of which, I really need to thank Ye Yuan properly this time,�� Divine Lord His Excellency said with a smile.


    ��Heh heh, Divine Lord Your Excellency, you mustn��t just be all talk and no action! This Seat has remembered these words!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said with a shady smile.


    The moment Divine Lord heard this, he could not help laughing as he said, ��You old fellow, could it be that this lord will still owe a Saint Sovereign Heaven junior? This time, Ye Yuan really helped out greatly! However, those few old fellows will probably be finding you to settle scores!��


    Cloudmount smiled coldly and said, ��Would Your Father be scared of them? If not for the few of them obstructing in every possible way, our new policy would have long been pushed forward. Why would we end up being so passive now? Humph! Already at the juncture of life and death survival, those few old fellows are still so fettered by old convention! It serves them right to have their sects be wiped out!��


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier��s Hegemon Realms were naturally not of one heart and mind too.


    The reason why it developed until the present situation where all Hegemon Realms joined hands, it was forced by circumstances.


    Why did the conservative faction have a market?


    Without Hegemons supporting them, how could they be tough?


    Among these Hegemon Realms, Hegemon Cloudmount and the rest of this group were all of the warring faction.


    They hoped to break down the barriers between sects. The Heaven One Alliance was one family!


    But the vast majority of Hegemon Realms turned their noses up in disdain at this!


    These Hegemon Realms hoped that there must be autonomy between sects.


    Otherwise, their legacies would be buried in oblivion in the dust of history. Among them, the other two continents�� Hegemon Realms especially dominated!


    Their sects had practically been annihilated already.


    Therefore, they had a very averse attitude towards this kind of merger.


    Divine Lord also advocated for breaking down the barriers, but he needed to borrow the strength of these Hegemon Realms to deal with the blood race, so it could only keep dragging on until now.


    But Ye Yuan��s action completely broke this deadlock.


    Once the situation was broken, Divine Lord took the initiative!


    Then what right did Ye Yuan, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, have to be able to do something that even Hegemon Realms could not accomplish?


    The problem still lay with those treasures of the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Ever since entering the sect, Ye Yuan pushed his momentum to the peak step by step.


    At the crucial moment, he threw out these Labyrinth Divine Palace treasures. Under this kind of situation, the Extreme Medicine Sect��s conservative faction already could not make much noise anymore.


    It was because they needed those treasures too! They also needed to become strong!


    At this time, the moment the dharmic decree of Hegemon Cloudmount and the rest descended, it immediately suppressed all the voices in the sect.

 Chapter 2864 - South Qi Giant City!

    Chapter 2864 South Qi Giant City!


    ��We��re not convinced! On what basis should we be the first batch to go to the Absolute Heaven Barrier?��


    ��Yeah, this matter was caused by Ye Yuan. If wanting to choose someone to go, it should also be him who goes first!��


    ��Just because Ye Yuan donated a bunch of jade slips, he can get special treatment?��


    �� ��


    In the Law Enforcement Hall, a group of people was rioting non-stop. Zheng Qian, Wang Lin, and the rest were shockingly in ranks.


    The first batch of names headed to the Absolute Heaven Barrier had already been issued. None of those who opposed Ye Yuan could escape.


    Even Qin Shan, this grade eight heavenly alchemist, was also sent to the front-lines.


    Of course, it was not a coincidence. Ye Yuan did it on purpose.


    These people jumped around the most. Of course he could not let them continue acting like tyrants.


    However, Ye Yuan��s goal was naturally not to send them to death.


    These people were all geniuses. Ye Yuan did not deny it.


    Perhaps going to the front-lines could make them improve at a great pace.


    It was just that the mortality rate at the front-lines was also extremely high. Qin Shan had a black face as he said in a solemn voice, ��Martial Uncle Ming Tang, if you don��t give an explanation today, even if it��s defying the sect��s orders, we won��t hesitate


    too!��


    Ming Tang was a Law Enforcement Hall elder, an Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm mighty expert, his status being extremely high.


    Ye Yuan��s name did not appear in the name list of the first batch, so these people immediately blew up!


    On what basis?


    Hence, they ran to the Law Enforcement Hall collectively to make a scene.


    As the saying went: it was hard for the law to punish the collective. They all had this mentality. The overwhelming momentum was unstoppable, but making Ye Yuan go was a must!


    Otherwise, they could not swallow this insult.


    Ming Tang glanced at Qin Shan and said coolly, ��Have you all made enough noise? Ye Yuan their party of five already left the sect a month ago and set off for South Qi Giant City!��


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    What kind of place was South Qi Giant City?


    The number one dangerous city below Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    It was not that this city was very dangerous, but that this city��s casualty rate was too high!


    Frighteningly high!


    Why?


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier blocked the blood race army. But when dividing Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven into two, how big was the Absolute Heaven Barrier?


    Unimaginable!


    This Absolute Heaven Barrier was like a ten thousand mile great wall. It stretched even longer and more unbroken than a ten thousand mile great wall.


    However, to maintain the Absolute Heaven Barrier, Hegemon Realm powerhouses needed to expend a considerable effort too.


    Simply put, the Absolute Heaven Barrier was like a large net.


    The place where the Hegemon Realms were garrisoning, that was the nodal point of the large net.


    The node was naturally as strong as iron.


    But since it was a web, then there had to be gaps.


    The war between the blood race and Heaven One unfolded in these gaps.


    Incomparably cruel!


    Heaven One Alliance built one giant city after another in these defensively weak places, planting a large army of countless powerhouses.


    South Qi Giant City was the place with the largest loophole!


    Of course, it was also the most dangerous place.


    One could say that the army stationed there practically had no overlap with anyone from the first batch of army stationed there! The first generation army, from the high and mighty Emperor Realm powerhouses to Saint Sovereign Heaven army, had all died out!


    One could imagine how dangerous South Qi Giant City was!


    In the rear, no matter which sect it was, their complexions would change colors at the mention of South Qi Giant City.


    No one was willing to go!


    It was because South Qi Giant City was equivalent to death!


    Not roughly equivalent!


    That place was absolutely an incomparably cruel and savage battlefield.


    That place was hell!


    Ye Yuan actually went to South Qi Giant City?


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven, no matter how amazingly talented you were, you would also be an ant in South Qi Giant City!


    Lowly like an ant!


    There were no geniuses there, only dead people!


    Too cruel!


    Was this guy mad?


    Ming Tang��s gaze swept over everyone��s faces, and he said with a cold smile, ��When you guys were afraid, others were already at the front-lines! This elder feels that Ye Yuan��s opinion is correct! You these people crack yourselves up to be geniuses, enjoying countless glory, but you all don��t know how cruel the front-lines are! You all won��t be able to grow up without experiencing the baptism of blood! Go on!��


    With this, nobody spoke anymore!


    Ye Yuan already went to South Qi Giant City What else could they say?


    Where they were going to this time was Floating Light City.


    Although that place was the front-lines too, it was not an absolutely dangerous place.


    There were 108 cities below the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Among them, there were nine giant cities!


    Cities that had the word ��giant,�� were all brutal battlefields.


    And among them, South Qi Giant City was the most dangerous!


    ����


    ��This is South Qi Giant City? Sure enough �� it��s very cruel!��


    Seeing the scene before his eyes, Ye Yuan could not help sighing lightly.


    Clearly, this place had just experienced a great battle.


    10.


    The city walls that towered into the clouds, half of them were already demolished. Many high level Formation Dao masters were currently repairing the city walls.


    Outside the city, several thousand dead bodies were casually thrown around, looking ghastly.


    There weren��t bloodkins because they would not leave behind dead bodies.


    Either die or revive.


    Many Saint Sovereign Heaven soldiers were currently collecting the corpses, their eyes faintly holding tears. But their gazes were full of resoluteness.


    The land outside the city took on a dark-red hue as if it had already been dyed thoroughly with blood,


    This was not an adjective but a fact!


    Ye Yuan already heard about it before coming that red-color dirt was the hallmark of South Qi Giant City!


    This place was dyed red by fresh blood!


    Ye Yuan few people did not see this great battle, but the degree of danger was clear just by thinking about it a little.


    This battle must have been extremely fierce.


    Ye Yuan had experienced the northern front battle, but that level of battle completely could not be mentioned in the same breath as this place. ��Big Brother Ye Yuan, the blood race is so abominable! Jingfei wants to kill the enemy too, kill them all! Sniff, sniff ���� Jingfei immediately burst into tears when she saw the scene before her eyes.


    Too tragic!


    Even the Yang Qing, who went about happy-go-lucky every day, also had a solemn and respectful face at this time.


    ��Ye Yuan, my blood is already burning!�� Yang Qing said.


    ��Yeah, me too.��


    As he was talking, Ye Yuan gave a deep bow to this stretch of land.


    On top of the city walls, a gray-robed middle-aged man looked at the city wall that was currently being repaired, his expression being incredibly grim.


    Ye Yuan noticed him very quickly because his aura was extremely strong. He was definitely an Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm mighty expert!


    ��Heh, kid, you��re new here, right? To dare come to South Qi Giant City, pretty gutsy!�� An easy-going Saint Sovereign Heaven soldier came up to greet warmly. Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Some things ultimately need people to do. This brother, didn��t you come too?��


    The moment the other party heard, he laughed loudly and said, ��I like to hear this! Little Brother, you came to the right place! Our South Qi Giant City is the most soulful place! Fighting here, there are no regrets in death! I��m called Wang Yan. What are you called, Little Brother?��


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��This little brother, Ye Yuan, is from the Extreme Medicine Sect.��


    Wang Yan waved his hand and said, ��South Qi Giant City has no sects, only brothers! Even if you were a flower in the Extreme Medicine Sect, it��s completely meaningless in this place


    too.��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said with a smile, ��What Brother Wang says is right. This little brother has received the teachings!��


    In a few sentences, Ye Yuan already felt the difference.


    Originally, Ye Yuan thought that in such a savage battlefield, humanity was gray and without luster, especially having just experienced a great battle.


    But Wang Yan seemed very relaxed, without the slightest psychological burden, talking in a jovial manner.


    Ye Yuan could feel that it was not that Wang Yan was heartless, but that he had qi in his heart.


    This qi was the soul of South Qi Giant City!


    When people come here, they would be infected by this place very quickly and be assimilated!


    ��Brother Wang, who is that? His bearing is extraordinary.��


    Ye Yuan pointed at the middle-aged man on top of the city walls and asked.


    Wang Yan chuckled and said, ��You don��t even recognize City Lord Feng Xiaotian. How do you live? That is our South Qi Giant City��s spiritual leader!��


    Wang Yan��s words were filled with admiration.


    Ye Yuan had some guesses long ago in his heart. It was indeed Feng Xiaotian!


    This was South Qi Giant City��s tenth city lord.


    The previous nine were all dead. They died in battle!


    South Qi Giant City��s danger was not said for fun!


    Even an Emperor Sakra Heaven expert like the city lord died over and over again!


    However, Feng Xiaotian was different!


    This person completely grew up in South Qi Giant City.


    This was a god of war!


    When he entered South Qi Giant City, he was only True Sovereign Heaven Realm.


    Before this, he was unknown too.


    But he grew up step by step during the battles with the blood race. His cultivation realm also advanced steadily, from True Sovereign Heaven to Emperor Cloud Heaven, then to Emperor Vast Heaven, and Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    All the way until presently, he became South Qi Giant City��s city lord!


    This was a true-blue god of war!


    In each battle, he would lead his men in a charge, killing until the bloodkins were trembling with fear.


    Under this kind of battle intensity, for him to be able to live until now and even reach the peak realm of Emperor Sakra Heaven, it was simply unimaginable. Of course, it was also precisely because of this that he already became a god of South Qi Giant City, the idol in everyone��s hearts!


    Ye Yuan suddenly said, ��It turns out that he��s City Lord Feng! But, looking at his appearance, he seems to be frowning heavily. Did he encounter some problem?��


    Wang Yan heaved a slight sigh and said, ��The blood race is getting crazier and crazier, and also increasingly stronger! This time, they even collapsed half of the city walls. The city protecting grand array is badly damaged and difficult to repair! Without the city protecting grand array, we might not be able to stop the blood race army! The few big shots are currently having a headache!��

 Chapter 2865 - Too Inefficient!

    Chapter 2865 Too Inefficient!


    Ye Yuan and Wang Yan were currently chatting when Feng Xiaotian suddenly shouted, ��Brothers in the city, those who know Formation Dao, please gather below the southern city wall!��


    ��I know!��


    ��I know too!��


    ��City Lord Feng needs us. Let��s hurry up!��


    ����


    Virtually instantaneously, those powerhouses who knew Formation Dao flooded towards the city walls one after another.


    Ye Yuan witnessed what was called a hundred responses to one call.


    Being able to serve Feng Xiaotian seemed to have become a kind of glory.


    ��I��m not going to continue talking to you any longer. I��m a grade five heavenly formation master. City Lord Feng is summoning people. I need to go!�� Finished saying, Wang Yan ignored Ye Yuan and ran in haste.


    This level of grand array naturally did not need grade five heavenly formation masters originally.


    But now, Feng Xiaotian was clearly making a Hail Mary effort too. Ye Yuan did not hesitate and joined those heavenly formation masters too.


    ��Eh, Brother Ye is actually a heavenly formation master too?�� When Wang Yan saw that Ye Yuan came over, he could not help being very surprised.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I know a little bit.��


    Wang Yan nodded and said, ��Mn, it��s a crucial moment now. Those who have money offer money, those with strength exert strength. Later, you follow me. You can ask me anything that you don��t understand.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Then I��ll have to thank Brother Wang very much.�� Very soon, a thousand heavenly formation masters gathered below the southern city walls. There were grade five and grade six experts.


    As for grade seven and grade eight heavenly formation masters, those already belonged to the top powerhouses. They were all repairing the grand array on the city walls.


    Feng Xiaotian cupped his fists to everyone and said, ��Brothers, everyone saw it too. The city wall��s city protecting grand array is badly damaged at present, almost paralyzed. The blood race is attacking us more and more frequently. In at most five days, they will make a renewed effort after failure. Without the city protecting grand array, it will be very hard for us to guard South Qi Giant City. Therefore, this Feng needs everyone��s help!�� Those heavenly formation masters immediately replied, ��Serving City Lord Feng is our honor!��


    A hint of reluctance flashed across in Feng Xiaotian��s eyes, and he gave a deep bow to the thousand heavenly formation masters.


    The cultivation realms of grade five and six heavenly formation masters were too low. There was a tremendous risk when repairing this kind of grand array that approached origin level.


    A single misstep and they would be drained dry by the origin power contained in the grand array.


    But at this time, Feng Xiaotian had no other choice either.


    Ye Yuan could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion. This place was really different!


    Feng Xiaotian merely gave a yell, and a thousand heavenly formation masters stepped forward resolutely, without even a trace of hesitation.


    This was simply unimaginable in the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    This was life-threatening!


    ��This Feng �� will be counting on everyone!�� Feng Xiaotian said with a choke.


    ��City Lord Feng doesn��t need to be courteous. This is our responsibility!�� Everyone said in unison.


    Got to admit, Feng Xiaotian was very charismatic.


    His every movement and action gave people an amiable and approachable feeling.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could tell that Feng Xiaotian attached great importance to his men, and it did not seem to be hypocritical.


    Very soon, there were many grade seven heavenly formation masters that came over and brought these thousand over people away.


    The parts that grade five and six heavenly formation masters could repair were not many. But there was strength in numbers. Their participation would speed up the restoration of the grand array. ��One grade six heavenly formation master, bring along ten grade five heavenly formation masters. The ten of you grade six heavenly formation masters follow me to assist me in repairing the grand array. Whatever I make you all do, just follow, make sure not to act on your own, understood?�� A grade seven heavenly formation master arrived in front of Ye Yuan and the rest, and he directly picked out 110 people and left.


    The others were the same too.


    This way of division could reduce the casualties to a minimum.


    ��This seat has already divided this piece of grade seven heavenly formation��s formation base. The 11 of you will be in charge of this area! Remember, you have to be super careful, make sure not to make any mistakes!��


    The grade six heavenly formation expert who brought Ye Yuan said respectfully, ��Yes, Lord Qi Li!��


    This person was called Liu Yi. He was quite successful in the aspect of formations.


    With regards to Qi Li��s order, Ye Yuan did not pay attention to it. He had already started to size this majestic heaven-shocking grand array up and down!


    Ye Yuan had similarly seen before many array formations with tremendous power in the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s records. His knowledge and experience could not be mentioned in the same breath as these people.


    This city protecting grand array was an extremely complicated interlinked grand array. Furthermore, it touched origin realm and was only a step away from a true origin grand array.


    An interlinked grand array was not what a grade nine heavenly formation master could set up. It must have been jointly produced through numerous heavenly formation masters.


    This grand array was linked to the Absolute Heaven Barrier, sealing off all paths of retreat.


    If the blood race wanted to breach the Absolute Heaven Barrier, there was only breaking through South Qi Giant City.


    It was just that South Qi Giant City had experienced a series of fierce battles, the power of this grand array was long already less than a tenth.


    After experiencing the previous battle, it was even more ruined now.


    It could be seen from this how terrifying the battle before they came was. ��ARGH!!��


    Suddenly, a miserable cry came over, startling Ye Yuan awake.


    A grade five heavenly formation master was already devoured by the grand array.


    However, the others did not even turn their heads around.


    It was not that they were numb, but that they had to race against time!


    In South Qi Giant City, dead people were really something that was all too normal.


    Sorrow this kind of emotion was the most useless.


    If people died, then the debt had to be repaid in blood!


    Repairing the grand array meant that they could kill more bloodkins, and they would be able to avenge everyone!


    ��Kid, what are you still in a daze for? In South Qi Giant City, there��s no time for you to grieve over losses! Hurry up and get to work!�� Liu Yi shouted coldly at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, ��Repairing like this, forget about five days. Even if it��s 50 days, it can��t be repaired entirely at all.��


    Liu Yi��s brows furrowed slightly, thinking to himself that this new kid really had a lot of crap!


    The adults still did not know whether or not it could be repaired entirely. Was it your turn, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, to speak? ��That��s not something that you should worry about! You just care about repairing. There��s no need for you to worry about anything else!��


    Ye Yuan still did not have the intention of taking action. He just said lightly, ��These over 1000 people aren��t even enough to fill the crevices between the teeth. After the people die out, it��s impossible to finish repairing too. And the repaired grand array will still be too weak to stand up to a single hit. This way, we��re purely wasting time.��


    Liu Yi exploded the moment he heard it and said with a cold smile, ��Huhu, then you mean that we��re resigning ourselves to doom here? New kid, I don��t care where you��re some bullshit genius from. In South Qi Giant City, just obey orders! Are you doing it or not? If you��re not doing it, hurry up and get lost for Your Father!��


    Ye Yuan did not get angry and just said coolly, ��Give me an hour. I think I can repair the formation base here by myself.�� What Ye Yuan was referring to was the range of these 110 people, and not their ten people range.


    The array formation that these 110 heavenly formation masters were working on reached several tens of thousands.


    Even if they did not sleep or rest, it simply could not be repaired without a day��s time.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually shamelessly boasted that he could finish repairing in an hour by himself. Was this not a joke?


    Liu Yi laughed from extreme fury and said, ��Kid, I think that you��re not here to repair the grand array but here to cause trouble, right? Get lost! I don��t have the time to listen to you boast here!��


    Wang Yan also did not think that Ye Yuan could boast so much. Did you freaking specifically come to South Qi Giant City to posture?


    But you did not know that this place was not a place to posture at all, right?


    There was only killing and obedience here!


    ��Ye Yuan, here isn��t the Extreme Medicine Sect! You got to judge the situation when you��re boasting, alright?�� Wang Yan urged.


    Ye Yuan said helplessly, ��I��m not boasting. Whether or not it can be done, the outcome will be seen in an hour! Also, I hope that everyone can stop. Repairing like this will only cost lives in vain. It��s too inefficient!��


    ��Hah, boy, what high-sounding sentiments! These 1000 people stopping for an hour, do you know how much work is going to be delayed? Can you afford to bear this loss?��.


    ��Yeah, even the grade nine heavenly formation master over there, Master Zi Yang, can��t help it. Are you, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, more impressive than him?��


    ��Hurry up and get lost. If you keep messing around and delaying everyone��s time, we��ll directly send you on your way!��


    For a moment, everyone��s spearheads pointed at Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2866 - Breathtaking Repair!

    Chapter 2866 Breathtaking Repair!


    ��You mean that over 1000 of us heavenly formation masters here, including a bunch of grade eight and grade nine heavenly formation masters, are not even as good as you, a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven?�� Liu Yi looked at Ye Yuan and sneered coldly.


    If you did not brag, then it was me who was boasting?


    A punk who had just arrived was uttering wild ravings, truly ignorant!


    Liu Yi was already prepared to make a move and send Ye Yuan off.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, instinctively wanting to reveal his identity as Hegemon Cloudmount��s disciple.


    But that way, everything would become meaningless.


    He would not be able to continue staying in this South Qi Giant City too.


    Suddenly, his gaze glimpsed the Feng Xiaotian in the distance. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he shouted, ��You��re right! I��m not targeting anyone. The heavenly formation masters here are all trash! Clearly don��t need people to die, yet you insist on using human lives to stack it up. What are you all if not trash?��


    One speech shocked the entire city!


    Everyone put down the work in their hands and looked over here.


    Among them naturally included Feng Xiaotian too.


    Hearing this, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    Where did this boy come from, being so arrogant?


    Liu Yi was stunned. This kid really dared to continue!


    ��Hahaha, ignorant thing, I think that you��re simply here to cause trouble! The restoration of the entire grand array has been delayed by you alone! You deserve death!��


    Liu Yi laughed with extreme fury, and his aura exploded and was about to exterminate Ye Yuan.


    ��STOP!��


    Right at this time, he was stopped.


    The one who shouted at him to stop was precisely Feng Xiaotian. Liu Yi hurriedly bowed and said, ��City Lord Feng, this boy is deliberately disrupting the restoration of the grand array. This lowly one was just about to kill him, carry out capital punishment!��


    Feng Xiaotian waved his hand and looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Little Brother, this place is the battlefield. You mustn��t shoot your mouth off! If you can��t do it, not just you, the sect behind you shall also suffer a great wrath!��


    When Ye Yuan saw Feng Xiaotian come over, he could not help letting out a sigh of relief.


    His judgment was indeed not wrong!


    The former posturing sentence was in order to attract everyone��s attention.


    And the latter sentence was the crux to move Feng Xiaotian.


    He cherished his men very much. Actually, he was not willing to send these people to death! If there was a way that did not let these people die and could also repair the grand array, he would naturally be willing to use it.


    Although he also knew that this possibility was very low.


    In reality, Feng Xiaotian knew better than anyone that five days was not enough at all.


    If these over 1000 people died, they would have died in vain too.


    But even if the grand array was a fraction stronger, they would be able to kill a few more bloodkins too. Was using 1000 people to exchange for 2000 bloodkins worth it or not? Of course it was worth it!


    This was a last resort that could not be helped!


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��I��m willing to write up a military writ! Give me an hour, I��ll restore this whole stretch! If I can��t do it, I��ll atone for my crime with my death!��


    ��City Lord Your Excellency, this boy is completely causing confusion in the morale of the troops! How can he, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, possibly do it?��


    ��Yeah, City Lord Your Excellency, stop talking nonsense with him. Time is being delayed by him!��


    ��This boy might be the blood race��s spy!��


    Nobody believed Ye Yuan��s words at all.


    Too nonsensical!


    One person doing the work of a hundred people, furthermore, it only needed an hour?


    Boasting was not done like this!


    However, Feng Xiaotian waved his hand and said, ��For the sake of everyone��s safety, this city lord is willing to gamble once! Even if I��m tricked, I won��t hesitate either!��


    Yes, he was completely gambling!


    Because even he himself also did not believe that Ye Yuan could do it.


    But he was willing to gamble! There were far too many people who died.


    A single less death, that was good too!


    It was also precisely this compassion for ordinary soldiers than made his prestige in South Qi Giant City extremely high.


    South Qi Giant City��s cohesiveness and combat power were also extremely shocking. Feng Xiaotian looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��There��s no need to write up a military writ. If you trick us, this city lord will personally send you on your way!��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and came right in front of a damaged stretch of grand array.


    Interlinked grand arrays were exceedingly complicated!


    Forget about a measly little grade five heavenly formation master; even if it was a grade eight heavenly formation master, it was hard to see through it too.


    These restoration works all had grade nine heavenly formation masters designate an area first with a few small-scale array formation demarcated before they could complete it.


    No matter how complicated the array formation, it was also composed of one small array element after another.


    Those low level heavenly formation masters could not see through it, but it did not hinder them from repairing the grand array. It was because these large formations were being analyzed little by little, until in the end, demarcated into some grade five and grade six small array formations.


    This was like an assembly shop. Each person was in charge of their own production processes.


    When all the pipelines were finished, the grand array would naturally be completed.


    These low grade heavenly formation masters did not need to understand how these parts were produced. They just needed to install them.


    The ones who truly understood all these were the grade nine heavenly formation masters!


    This region��s restoration that Ye Yuan was going to complete, the difficulty was not just the workload of a hundred people. He even had to understand the principles of this entire area!


    And he was only grade five!


    These heavenly formation masters were insiders. They naturally did not believe that Ye Yuan could complete the restoration.


    Ye Yuan did not make a move to repair but started observing the formation bases in this region, looking like a professional who knew what he was doing.


    This scene naturally incurred a series of ridicules.


    Liu Yi smiled coldly and said, ��Putting on an appearance! Forget about this load of 100 people; if he can complete one person��s load, Your Father will go straight to the blood race��s camp to kill the enemy!��


    Qi Li also said disdainfully, ��City Lord Feng has compassion for his subordinates, how benevolent! It��s just that this kid is completely wasting everybody��s time!��


    ��Huhu, he already looked for 15 minutes and only looked at such a tiny bit! I want to see how he completes the repair within an hour!��


    Ye Yuan just continued looking like this. After looking for very long, he did not have the intention of making a move either.


    Logically speaking, this kind of restoration did not need to comprehend array formation at all.


    Ye Yuan��s way of doing things was completely unnecessary in the eyes of the others.


    Furthermore, didn��t repairing need time?


    Such a complicated array formation, even if it was parsed until it was just grade five heavenly formations, that also required a huge amount of time to repair!


    Along with the passage of time, everyone believed more and more that Ye Yuan was purely talking nonsense!


    Feng Xiaotian also shook his head unwittingly. Sure enough, was it still a failed bet?


    This kid was just a little talented. Then he had grandiose ambitions without real ability and engaged in empty talk?


    It seemed like it was really the case!


    However, he himself also did not harbor any hope, no?


    ����


    Outside of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, the blood race army was currently gathering!


    This time, the blood race was prepared to take down South Qi Giant City in one stroke!


    Bloodpromise, this blood race army��s commander-in-chief, was an origin Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse.


    He had already fought with Feng Xiaotian for several hundred years.


    In the battle that had just ended, they paid the price of 13 Emperor Sakra Heaven deaths and forcefully riddled the city protecting grand array full of holes.


    Hence, the blood race army gathered once more. They planned on bringing work to completion in one stroke!


    Absolute Heaven Barrier��s passageway only had a very small gap. They were unable to send too many powerhouses in.


    a


    But, time after time of wearing away, South Qi Giant City was finally tottering on its feet too. ��This time, this seat is going to perform a remarkable feat without equal! As long as we connect South Qi Giant City��s passageway, our blood race will be able to reinforce troops to the Absolute Heaven Barrier without ceasing! Absolute Heaven Barrier won��t be far from collapse too!�� Bloodpromise was somewhat boiling over with excitement at this time.


    Having fought fiercely with Heaven One Continent for several thousand years, they finally saw the dawn of hope.


    And the crucial battle was being realized by him. How could he not be excited?


    ��Congratulations, Great Emperor Your Excellency! Felicitations, Great Emperor Your Excellency!�� The subordinates gave their congratulations one after another.


    At this time, a figure returned.


    Bloodpromise was filled with lofty sentiments as he said with a smile, ��Is there any activities at South Qi Giant City?��


    That subordinate said, ��Lord Bloodpromise, South Qi Giant City has stopped repairing the city protecting grand array!�� Bloodpromise said in surprise, ��The city protecting grand array is their lifeblood. How can they possibly give up?�� The subordinate said, ��It��s absolutely true! If Your Excellency doesn��t believe it, you can go over and take a look! It has already stopped for an hour!��


    Bloodpromise laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Is this Feng Xiaotian indeed giving up? It looks like he has already come to his senses! The city protecting grand array no longer has the possibility of restoration! This seat won��t give him the chat! Five days! This seat only needs five days and I��ll be able to recover to my peak state! In order to breach the city, this seat is going to expend one Heavenly Blood Bead!��


    An hour passed in a twinkle.


    At this time, Ye Yuan was only left with the last 15 minutes.


    The surrounding jeering already became enraged, cursing him. One hour had been forcibly delayed by this fool!


    Why don��t you go and die?


    Amidst countless cursing voices, Ye Yuan suddenly made a move!


    One stream of divine essence after another was injected into that damaged grand array, without the slightest trace of stopping.


    Those who were weaker could not even see Ye Yuan��s movements clearly.


    Too fast!


    Everyone was completely dumbfounded.


    Were you here to be a freaking joke?


    Who repaired grand arrays like how you��re repairing? Repairing the formation base required deducing the surrounding array elements bit by bit, and repairing it little by little.


    This was a colossal project that took a lot of time.


    But you��re not even looking?


    In less than a hundred breaths of time, Ye Yuan already fired out God knows how many streams of divine essence. Then, he pointed at the void, that stretch of grand array was instantly lit up!


    Motes of array elements emerged again.


    This finger was like the Midas�� touch!


    Those heavenly formation masters discovered to their astonishment that the array elements had actually already linked up together at goodness knows when!


    The array elements were activated all at once, and then the formation base was consolidated, finally letting this large stretch of array formation be completely repaired!


    Too stunning!


    This move was like playing a game of go.


    It was as if Ye Yuan��s moves previously were all planting foreshadowing.


    Then the final move completely linked up his large dragon into one, instantly activating the whole thing!


    This kind of means was simply fantastic!


    If it was a grade nine heavenly formation master, accomplishing this was not hard.


    But, Ye Yuan was merely just a grade five heavenly formation master!


    He did not even understand the grand array. How did he do it?


    At this moment, the over 1000 heavenly formation masters present were dead silent.


    They even discovered that the region that Ye Yuan repaired was far greater than the area that he promised before!


    This was also to say that he alone, used an hour��s time, to complete the load of 100 over people!


    This efficiency was simply divine!


    Could it be that this guy was a grade nine heavenly formation master to begin with, and that he just concealed his strength?


    Impossible!


    This move, even a grade nine heavenly formation master could not do it too!


    Even if it was a grade nine heavenly formation master, they would need to deduce it little by little too.


    Of course, their speed was on a completely different level than low levels.


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said, ��This guy snatched all the limelight again! AHHHHH! When can it my, Lord Qing��s, turn to steal the limelight!��

 Chapter 2867 - 100,000 Strong Army!

    Chapter 2867 100,000 Strong Army!


    ��Little �� M-Master, how did you do it? This kind of restoration means is unheard of!�� Shock was written all over Feng Xiaotian��s face. Even his term of address changed.


    He had already been at South Qi Giant City for 3000 years.


    This city protecting grand array had been damaged and repaired, repaired and damaged, god knows how many times already.


    The grade nine heavenly formation masters that came to maintain the grand array died and were replaced, and then replaced and died again.


    But Feng Xiaotian had never seen before such a breathtaking restoration method.


    Liu Yi and the rest had already completely shut up.


    He only felt a chill run down his spine: F*ck me, what have I done?


    I nearly throttled a major savior!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��City Lord Your Excellency doesn��t have to be like this. This is just a small trick. Putting it bluntly, it��s actually nothing.�� Everyone wished to smack Ye Yuan to death with one slap. You even freaking scared grade nine heavenly formation masters until they pissed their pants. Could you not posture? What kind of existence was Feng Xiaotian? He immediately discerned Ye Yuan��s underlying meaning, his entire body trembling as he said, ��You mean that this sort of heaven-defying means can be disseminated?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Of course. Otherwise, why did I make them all stop?��


    Feng Xiaotian sucked in a breath of cold air, immediately feeling wild elation! Over 1000 people using this kind of means to restore the grand array at the same time, what kind of terrifying efficiency was that? Even thinking about it felt a little exciting! Feng Xiaotian gave Ye Yuan a deep bow and said, ��Master, please impart this technique! If we stop the blood race, you��ll be South Qi Giant City��s number one meritorious official!��


    Ye Yuan hurriedly helped Feng Xiaotian up and said, ��City Lord Your Excellency mustn��t be like this. The brothers are resisting the blood race here with almost certainty of death. Why would this Ye cherish my own belonging that��s of little value? This technique is called Lesser Origin Restoration Art. It��s specifically used for repairing large-scale array formations!��


    ��Hang on! You��re saying this is the Lesser Origin Restoration Art?�� Beside Feng Xiaotian, grade nine heavenly formation master, Weng Fan, had shock written all over his face.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Precisely so!��


    Weng Fan similarly drew a breath of cold air and said, ��Legends have it that the Greater and Lesser Origin Restoration Arts were created by the number one Formation Dao Hegemon back then, Hegemon Luo Tian! It��s ever-successful in repairing array formations! But this technique has long already been lost for many years. Little brother, you actually let it see the light of day again?��


    Actually, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s demise back then was a tremendous loss to the entire 33 Heavens.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s road to rise accompanied slaughter and accompanied plundering


    Back then, countless precious books, treasures, all had been collected by the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    But, in the wake of the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s demise, many precious treasures were all buried in the dust of history.


    This Lesser Origin Restoration Art was one of them.


    Mi Tian said that the truly formidable one was the Greater Origin Restoration Art.


    However, the Greater Origin Restoration Art should be hidden in the real Labyrinth Divine Palace. Ye Yuan only obtained the Lesser Origin Restoration Art.


    But the Lesser Origin Restoration Art was also a great tool to repair large-scale array formations!


    This secret art normally did not have much use, but it was definitely incomparably sharp.


    The so-called Lesser Origin Restoration Art was actually a kind of algorithm.


    No matter how complicated the array formation was, there would always be rules to laying down formations. And the Lesser Origin Restoration Art was the technique that made use of damaged array formations to calculate the rule of laying down the formation.


    As long as one found the rule to set up the formation, and then proceeded to repair the array element nodes inside, the array formation would be restored naturally.


    Of course, talking about it was simple, but without exceedingly formidable means in Formation Dao, one absolutely could not find the rules involved.


    Only by comprehending the source and standing at an extremely high level to analyze countless array formations could one find a suitable restoration art that could be used universally! Therefore, while it was simple, to really do it was as difficult as ascending to heaven! Just like one plus one equals two, this was the mathematical problem that everyone knew.


    But to understand why one plus one equals two would be an extremely terrifying idea.


    Even if it was a top mathematician, it was hard to solve it through immeasurable effort too.


    Since time immemorial, there was only Hegemon Luo Tian alone who reached this level of attainment!


    Therefore, after the Labyrinth Divine Palace fell, this set of techniques had also been lost.


    Presently, this set of lost techniques saw the light of day anew, stunning all the formation path masters. That was also something within reason.


    Hence, Ye Yuan began imparting the Lesser Origin Restoration Art.


    This thing was like a formula. As long as you learned it, you could just nest it in.


    Of course, there were difficult areas too.


    Just as how to apply the formula nimbly was also a knowledge.


    One had to know, heavenly formations were not mathematically formulas, its complexity even surpassed the level of astronomy.


    Even if Heavenly Stratum powerhouses were all immensely formidable, it also could not be learned in a short while.


    This process roughly needed three days.


    However, a beard lathered was half shaved. These three days�� time would naturally be worth it.


    At this time, there was already no one who felt that Ye Yuan was talking big to impress people anymore.


    Those who cursed Ye Yuan before were all extremely embarrassed.


    Especially Liu Yi, he was immensely regretful in his heart. Coming before Ye Yuan, he slapped his own mouth ruthlessly.


    He nearly caused a great disaster!


    If not for City Lord Feng having a sharp eye for discovering able people, then he would really have handed the chance of victory this time over to the blood race with both hands.


    Then he would really be the sinner of the entire Heaven One Continent!


    The news of the restoration of the grand array being at a standstill was sent back to the blood race like the wind.


    Great Emperor Bloodpromise even personally went to the Absolute Heaven Barrier and looked at South Qi Giant City from afar.


    Sure enough, everything stopped.


    One day, two days, three days!


    The entire South Qi Giant City did not have any activities.


    However, he also saw that countless powerhouses flooded into South Qi Giant City. Clearly, the rear had reinforced a lot of forces.


    South Qi Giant City was already prepared to put up a desperate fight!


    But, without the city protecting grand array��s protection, when had their blood race been afraid of anyone before?


    But when it reached the fourth day, the restoration of the grand array started again!


    Hearing this news, Bloodpromise burst out laughing


    ��Could it be that this Feng Xiaotian went mad? Five days�� time, used up three days for no reason, now, there are only two days left, and he ran back to repair the grand array? What can two days be enough to do?��


    Bloodpromise naturally knew this city protecting grand array like the back of his hand too.


    Forget about two days. Even if it was 20 days, it was insufficient to repair it too!


    Therefore, he was ridiculing Feng Xiaotian madly.


    This troublesome opponent finally panicked!


    As for the progress of the restoration, they were unable to judge it.


    On the one hand, they could only observe from a distance.


    On the other hand, if the grand array did not erupt with power, they could not feel it too. This was unless they came near the city. Only then could they feel the grand array distinctly.


    Five days later, the blood race army was finished gathering! This time, they gathered a 100 thousand strong army!


    This number was already the limit that the Absolute Heaven Barrier could withstand.


    Any more and the Absolute Heaven Barrier would rebound, crushing all of these ants!


    Of course, outside of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, those Hegemon Realms were all being tied down.


    Otherwise, if they took the initiative to attack, a 100 thousand strong army was not even enough to look at.


    Bloodpromise stood in front of the army with an imposing appearance!


    ��Children! Today, it��s finally the day where we��ll breach the Absolute Heaven Barrier! As long as we take down South Qi Giant City, we��ll be the blood race��s heroes! At that time, all the glory will fall on us! This seat will break through to Hegemon Realm, and you all will also soar to the heavens in one bound! Success or failure hinges on this one action!�� Bloodpromise was filled with lofty sentiments as he said.


    ��Great Emperor is mighty!��


    ��The blood race will definitely win!��


    �� ��


    The tsunami-like voices echoed around the periphery of the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    ��Now, you all follow this seat and trample South Qi Giant City flat!��


    ��Trample South Qi flat!�� ��Trample South Qi flat!�� ��Trample South Qi flat!��


    The blood race��s momentum rose to the pinnacle.


    They all already knew that Feng Xiaotian had already given up on the city protecting grand array!


    The Heaven One Alliance without the city protecting grand array was too weak! The 100 thousand strong army charged into the Absolute Heaven Barrier in mighty contingents!

 Chapter 2868 - Divine Battle! Great Victory Without Equal!

    Chapter 2868 Divine Battle! Great Victory Without Equal!


    In the sky above South Qi Giant City, it was densely filled with figures.


    Feng Xiaotian took the lead, his face full of solemnness.


    There was only an army of 60 thousand behind him!


    These few years, the blood race��s powerhouses grew more and more, and South Qi Giant City��s expenditure increased more and more.


    The troop replenishment also gradually slowed down.


    The blood race��s battle tactic was very simple: use numbers to swarm you to death!


    This time, there were only five short days, South Qi Giant City seriously had no time to replenish the troops.


    With 60 thousand versus 100 thousand, this was a very awkward comparison!


    The blood race was strong to begin with. Even fighting one-on-three was normal.


    But now, they used 60 thousand troops to face the blood race��s 100 thousand!


    Without the enhancement of the grand array, it was really hopeless this time!


    In the army of 60 thousand, the people��s faces all carried a solemn and tragic expression, as if brave warriors who would never return.


    They did not know that the grand array was already almost finished repairing.


    Feng Xiaotian told them that the grand array was already completely crippled.


    It was useless!


    The 60 thousand strong army could only forcefully resist the blood race��s 100 thousand elite soldiers!


    Therefore, these people were all already harboring the determination of certain death to fight to the death with the blood race.


    But actually, the grand array was only a step away from restoration! As long as these thousands of people unleashed the Lesser Origin Restoration Art simultaneously, the city protecting grand array would be finished repairing instantly.


    Not repairing it was suggested by Ye Yuan.


    Seeing as how the grand array was about to be finished repairing, everyone including Feng Xiaotian were beside themselves with joy.


    But Ye Yuan suddenly suggested to stop repairing the grand array.


    Because once the grand array was repaired, that tremendous undulation could not be concealed.


    At that time, the blood race would be on guard.


    With the Lesser Origin Restoration Art, letting the grand array be completely repaired was merely a blink of an eye.


    So at this time, making them suffer from their own scheme was the best strategy


    I


    Want to win, win a big one!


    Listening to Ye Yuan��s words, Feng Xiaotian instantly calmed down. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was full of shock.


    What a formidable boy!


    When everyone fell into a frenzy, he could maintain his cool and plot to maximize the fruits of the battle.


    Furthermore, this kind of operation was without the slightest flaws!


    Even if the blood race racked their brains, they absolutely could not think that they could completely repair this near-collapsed city protecting grand array within a short two days!


    ��Hahaha �� Feng Xiaotian, looks like you already have some awareness! This seat has coveted your blood for a long time already!��


    Two armies standing facing each other, Bloodpromise��s heroic spirit surged to the sky!


    Around him, just the Emperor Sakra Heaven experts were more than 30 people!


    And on Feng Xiaotian��s side, there were only eight people! For the sake of this great battle, the blood race could be said to have brought out all their elites.


    Different from the Heaven One Alliance, the blood race had as many powerhouses as clouds!


    They were blocked by the Absolute Heaven Barrier and unable to devote their full combat force at all.


    In the great battle five days ago, the blood race lost more than 10 Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses, finally destroying the city protecting grand array. And this time, Bloodpromise transferred over all of the elites that could be mobilized!


    In this battle, he was determined to succeed!


    Feng Xiaotian said disdainfully, ��Vanquished foe, how dare you speak bravely!��


    The two people had fought no idea how many times. Feng Xiaotian firmly suppressed Bloodpromise. It was just that because of the blood race��s special characteristics, Feng Xiaotian could not kill his opponent at all.


    Bloodpromise did not get angry either and said with a snicker, ��Feng Xiaotian, you��re also just relying on the city protecting grand array to indulge in a contention of mouth and tongue! Now, the city protecting grand array has already been destroyed. This seat wants to see what you still have to be arrogant!��


    Feng Xiaotian stood proudly in the air and shouted, ��Even if we fight until the last soldier, we absolutely won��t let you all take half a step into the Absolute Heaven Barrier too! Brothers, what should we do?��


    ��The city exists if the people exist! The city dies if the people die!��


    ��The city exists if the people exist! The city dies if the people die!��


    ��The city exists if the people exist! The city dies if the people die!��


    �� ��


    The air teemed with the aura of slaughter.


    They no longer had any paths of retreat. There were only risking their lives to kill a path out! This murderous aura that surged to the sky. Even Bloodpromise was visibly moved by it too.


    He suddenly realized that this would likely be an unprecedentedly tough battle today! In the past, the South Qi army had the city protecting grand array and would not be hopeless like today.


    But today, they only had the path of cutting all means of retreat to take!


    Feng Xiaotian looked at Bloodpromise and said with a cold smile, ��You saw that, Bloodpromise? Wanting to open up the Absolute Heaven Barrier, step over our dead bodies!��


    Bloodpromise��s gaze turned dark, and he flicked his sleeves grandly and said, ��Then we��ll step over your corpses! Children, follow this seat and trample South Qi!��


    Under his word of command, the 100 thousand strong army had blood energy surging to the sky, dying the sky red!


    In this 100 thousand strong army, they were all elites among elites. How shocking was that commotion?


    Feng Xiaotian did not move!


    This was because the blood race army had not entered the range of the grand array yet!


    Heavenly Stratum powerhouses moved extremely fast.


    Even if it was an army of 100 thousand people, rushing to the city was merely an instant too!


    In a blink, both sides clashed together in close quarters!


    And in the next second, Ye Yuan lightly made a hand gesture. Over 1000 heavenly formation masters started using the Lesser Origin Restoration Art at virtually the same time.


    Rumble!


    The city protecting grand array was finished repairing!


    The time was grasped perfectly!


    The city protecting grand array instantly gave off a dazzling light, enveloping the 100 thousand strong army fully. Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted!


    The power of the city protecting grand array had increased!


    As South Qi Giant City��s city lord, Feng Xiaotian was all too familiar with the city protecting grand array!


    After years on end of warfare and the grand array being constantly repaired, the power was actually already less than one-tenth of its heyday! But now, the grand array had recovered at least 70% of its power! This was too terrifying! The Lesser Origin Restoration Art was too impressive!


    Ye Yuan was too awesome!


    Because Feng Xiaotian knew that even if Ye Yuan imparted the Lesser Origin Restoration Art to everyone, his efficiency was still dozens of times higher than the others!


    The load of Ye Yuan��s sole restoration could match 100 people��s amount!


    He alone practically did nearly 20% of the workload!


    Without Ye Yuan, even if there was the Lesser Origin Restoration Art, it was also impossible to completely repair it, and it was even less likely to let the grand array recover 70% of its power!


    Bloodpromise��s face turned green!


    He lifted his head to look at the sky in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.


    The city protecting grand array was fully repaired within two days?


    Furthermore, the power of the grand array increased by a great deal!


    Was this a miracle?


    How did Feng Xiaotian do it?


    How many blood race powerhouses had fallen in order to wear down the power of the grand array? Just the origin realm powerhouses had no less than 100 people who died!


    Now, you��re telling me that the grand array was completely restored?


    Didn��t that mean that all of our people who died for so many years had all been in vain?


    I-I��ll fuck you!


    Countless painstaking effort, countless battles, countless deaths!


    In the end, it was actually all for naught?


    Bloodpromise was going crazy!


    However, he no longer had time to be shocked!


    No one was more clear than him about the power of this interlinked grand array!


    He felt that all the blood in his body was about to explode!


    It was over!


    In the next second, countless flames, lightning, ice, falling rocks �� fell from the sky!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! In the grand array, these terrifying attacks seemed to have eyes, all landing on the bloodkins.


    Suddenly, miserable cries were continuous!


    No matter how strong these low-level bloodkins were, they died upon contact!


    Under such power, they did not have time to revive at all and were directly obliterated!


    South Qi Giant City became a purgatory once more!


    The 60 thousand strong Heaven One army looked at this scene before their eyes muddle-headedly, completely stunned.


    Wasn��t it agreed upon to fight to the death?


    Wasn��t it agreed upon that the grand array was crippled? Wasn��t it agreed upon to drain the last drop of blood?


    We had not even freaking made a move yet, and the blood race already had more than half dead or injured!


    But in the next instant, everyone went crazy!


    They looked at Feng Xiaotian, their gazes full of fanatical worship!


    Indeed, this is our omnipotent god of war!


    Two days!


    We only used two days and completely restored the city protecting grand array?


    This is simply a miracle!


    ��City Lord is mighty! Heaven One Alliance is mighty!��


    ��City Lord His Excellency is omnipotent! Mowing down all resistance!��


    ��Miracle! Divine battle! This is Heaven One��s most brilliant victory ever!��


    ����


    Heaven One army had already gone completely crazy!


    It was just that the hero in their eyes, their gazes landed on another person at this time, their gazes full of fanaticism!


    Ye Yuan created an unprecedented miracle!


    This time was different!


    Outside the grand array, the blood race could continuously deplete the grand array and wear down the army.


    But, once they fell into the grand array, what awaited them would be a massacre!


    Heaven gave the blood race a powerful bloodline power. Then it would also strip them of other abilities.


    The blood race was extremely weak in Formation Dao and Alchemy Dao, these Great Daos!


    Otherwise, they also would not have spent several thousand years in front of the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Boom!


    A terrifying bolt of lightning fell, directly bombarding on Bloodpromise��s body.


    His aura instantly withered significantly.


    At this time, he was breaking out of the encirclement frenziedly, wanting to charge out of the grand array crazily.


    His strength was too strong! Origin powerhouses, even if it was the city protecting grand array, it was hard to obliterate him too.


    Feng Xiaotian��s gaze turned intent. Flicking his sleeves grandly, he shouted, ��Brothers, let��s create an unprecedented divine battle together! Follow me and kill together!��


    ��Kill!��


    The battle cry of the 60 thousand strong Heaven One army shook the heavens!


    Grade nine heavenly formation master, Weng Fan, brought a group of grade eight heavenly formation masters and were currently controlling the grand array vigorously.


    The Heaven One army was like fish in water inside the grand array!


    They did not show the slightest leniency, killing the blood race powerhouses wantonly.


    ��Motherf*cker! Your Father has never killed so satisfyingly before! Hahaha ����


    ��Awesome! Awesome! How is this killing people? This is simply killing pigs!�� ��Blood race bastards, you guys have today too! Hahaha �� Your Father is going to kill all of


    you!��


    �� ��


    Heaven One army��s powerhouses were all satisfied to the extreme.


    Under the cooperation of the grand array, the blood race powerhouses could not stand up to a single blow at all!


    They had never killed the blood race so satisfyingly before!


    This was a massacre to their heart��s content!


    In the past, even if there was the help of the city protecting grand array, they were unable to obliterate the blood race thoroughly too.


    So each great battle, the blood race would have many wounded but few deaths.


    Could not beat, just directly retreat. They could not do anything at all. While on Heaven One��s side, if they died, they would really be dead!


    But today was completely different!


    This was a one-sided slaughter!


    Feng Xiaotian slammed a punch out, directly killing an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse!


    Awesome!


    Too satisfying! Killing Emperor Sakra Heavens like killing dogs! Ye Yuan, you��re really too remarkable!


    ��Bloodpromise, didn��t you want to drink my blood? Don��t run!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Feng Xiaotian chased after him!

 Chapter 2869 - Victory Report! Blood Race Trembles! Hegemons Raising Eyebrows!

    Chapter 2869 Victory Report! Blood Race Trembles! Hegemons Raising Eyebrows!


    The current Bloodpromise lost his soul and was quaking in his boots!


    ��Quick! Quickly stop Feng Xiaotian!�� Bloodpromise shouted at the top of his voice.


    Hence, another three Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses immediately came up to surround and block Feng Xiaotian.


    But, in the grand array, how could they be Feng Xiaotian��s match?


    After a few rounds, three people were killed by Feng Xiaotian!


    Bloodpromise took this chance and pushed through the city protecting grand array and fled for his life crazily. ��Blood race bastards, watch your Grandpa Qing��s spear! Come on! Bring it! Aren��t you all very impressive?��


    In the army, Yang Qing��s long spear killed until the blood race did not have the slightest strength to fight back.


    Under Emperor Realm, they were not opponents that could last one exchange with him!


    Big Yellow, Xiao Qing, and Jingfei were also killing the enemy frenziedly.


    Ye Yuan joined the battle too, collecting the blood essence of the blood race.


    Such a fine opportunity, Ye Yuan naturally would not let it go.


    This battle fought until heaven and earth dimmed, blood flowing like rivers!


    Bloodpromise was killed several times, but he revived each time.


    But even so, he suffered huge losses this time too, and it would be difficult to recover again within a short time.


    The 100 thousand strong blood race army had less than 1000 people who escaped!


    ��Heaven One is mighty!��


    ��City Lord is mighty!��


    �� ��


    The shouting was akin to a huge wave, shocking heaven and earth.


    This was an unprecedented great victory, a great victory that was to one��s heart��s content! However, not long ago, they were still in despair!


    This great reversal was really satisfying until their souls left their bodies!


    ��100 thousand troops completely annihilated! That��s an army of 100 thousand! I feel like I��m dreaming until now! Ouch, what did you hit me for?��


    ��Too satisfying! Really too awesome! City Lord Feng is truly a celestial deity that descended to the mortal world!��


    ��It��s been a few thousand years, right? In 108 cities, Heaven One Alliance had countless casualties! But we have never experienced before such a great victory with accomplishments that surpasses ancient and modern times! We �� We won!��


    Talking until the back, many people burst out crying


    Heavenly Stratum powerhouses all had strong state of minds.


    The scene of tens of thousands of people weeping was simply unimaginable.


    Everyone cast fervent gazes toward Feng Xiaotian.


    Feng Xiaotian stood proudly in the firmament, overlooking all life as he raised his fist, his voice trembling slightly as he said, ��W-We won!��


    ��Won!��


    ��Won!��


    ��Won!��


    Everyone raised their hands and shouted!


    Feng Xiaotian made a hand gesture as he said agitatedly, ��Brothers, you all are mistaken! The one who created this miracle isn��t me, Feng Xiaotian, but him!��


    His hand pointed at Ye Yuan in the crowd.


    All of a sudden, tens of thousands of gazes focused on Ye Yuan simultaneously with a whoosh.


    Everyone was shocked!


    A �� Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    G-Got to be joking!


    ��I know that various brothers have doubts in your heart, but in this battle, Ye Yuan contributed the most!��


    ��The city protecting grand array really couldn��t be restored anymore! It was Ye Yuan who brought the long-lost Lesser Origin Restoration Art that let the grand array be completely restored!��


    ��Ye Yuan��s formation path attainments is transcendent! He alone completed 20% of the workload!��


    ��When the grand array was about to be repaired, it was also him who reminded this city lord to let this city lord draw the bow but not discharge the arrow, luring the enemy deep in!��


    ��Actually, Ye Yuan told me before that he doesn��t want this credit! But, I, Feng Xiaotian, can��t take his credit!��


    ��Without lying to everyone, even if I knew that the grand array could be repaired, I also never thought that there could be such an astonishing great victory!�� ��But, that moment when the grand array was repaired, I was stunned! The city protecting grand array actually directly recovered to 70% of its peak power!�� ��Therefore, this unprecedented great victory was all thanks to Ye Yuan!��


    Feng Xiaotian voice echoed, his voice spreading throughout the entire South Qi Giant City.


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, countless voices erupted.


    Heaven One army��s powerhouses were all shocked to the extreme.


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven dictated the entire war situation?


    Too crazy!


    Too inconceivable!


    But they knew that Feng Xiaotian would not lie!


    His matter was absolutely true!


    Where did this guy pop out from?


    In their impression, only Hegemon Realms, only origin Emperor Sakra Heavens, only such existences could dictate the war.


    But who could have thought that an ant-like Saint Sovereign Heaven actually made 100 thousand bloodkins lose their lives at South Qi Giant City?


    A total of 100 thousand bloodkins!


    In the past, it was not that South Qi Giant City had not fought with an army of 100 thousand bloodkins before.


    But South Qi Giant City paid the price of more than 100 thousand powerhouses�� lives in order to repel the blood race!


    This was even under the circumstances of having the city protecting grand array.


    However, today, they annihilated the blood race��s 100 thousand strong army with virtually zero casualties!


    ��Master Ye is awesome!��


    ��Master Ye is mighty!��


    ����


    The 60 thousand strong Heaven One army raised their hands and cheered again.


    Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were full of gratitude, full of shock, and full of pride!


    In his panic, Bloodpromise heard South Qi Giant City��s yells.


    He could not help being taken aback. Who was Master Ye?


    Facing this scene, Ye Yuan was quite helpless.


    He really did not want to steal this limelight. Who knew that Feng Xiaotian this fellow was actually so forthright.


    By the side, Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan with envy. The limelight was snatched up by you alone again!


    Are you all blind? Didn��t you see Sovereign Azuresky rampage in all directions?


    Above the void, one black and one white figure stood proudly in the sky.


    ��Edgeless, you��re too weak! If not for me, we really might not have been able to breach South Qi Giant City! Hahaha ���� The black-robed man looked in the direction of the Absolute Heaven Barrier and laughed loudly without ceasing.


    Edgeless was the Hegemon Realm who was closest to South Qi Giant City!


    The reason why South Qi Giant City became a human world purgatory was that his strength was too weak. He was weak. The Absolute Heaven Barrier around him was not strong enough.


    The gap was naturally the largest too.


    The nine great giant cities were actually guarded by the nine weakest Hegemon Realms.


    And Edgeless was the weakest among the nine people.


    Like the Absolute Heaven Barrier that was guarded by Hegemon Cloudmount, the passageway that was left behind could at most only let ten thousand people pass through at the very most!


    Even if the blood race had exceedingly formidable abilities, it would be difficult to open up a gap from his place too.


    Therefore, the blood race virtually placed all of their energy on the nine great giant cities.


    Among them, South Qi Giant City was the most important!


    South Qi Giant City��s capture was near at hand. You Jin was naturally in a great mood and made digs at Edgeless. When the blood race sieged a city, there must be a Hegemon Realm to restrain.


    Otherwise, if Edgeless made a move, no matter how many people it was, it could only be death too.


    However, they already formed a tacit agreement between themselves long ago that they would not take the initiative to attack.


    This was because the blood race could not gain any advantages in front of the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Edgeless��s expression was very ugly. He was burning with anxiety in his heart too.


    He was naturally clear about South Qi Giant City��s situation.


    He blamed himself!


    If not for him, South Qi Giant City would not have fallen into enemy hands.


    But he really did his best already. ��Once South Qi Giant City opens, our blood race army will be able to enter the Absolute Heaven Barrier continuously in endless streams! At that time, the Absolute Heaven Barrier will exist only in name! The blood of all you Hegemon Realms will be ours sooner or later!��


    ��Edgeless, are you very anxious right now? Do you feel very desperate? Right, it��s this expression! Hahaha ����


    ��Reproach yourself for your incompetence! The Absolute Heaven Barrier is merely a mantis trying to stop a cart!��


    Hegemon You Jin mocked without restraint. He was full of joy in his heart.


    Their blood race��s Hegemons held deep-seated hatred towards the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Now, seeing this situation, he was naturally happy.


    Suddenly, a blood light flashed in front of him, a phantom appeared.


    This person was precisely Bloodpromise who escaped with his life!


    This was Bloodpromise��s message!


    Hegemon You Jin smiled lightly and said, ��Bloodpromise, you did well! This seat only asks you this. Has South Qi Giant City been slaughtered clean?��


    Bloodpromise��s expression was like his mother had died. Kneeling down with a thud, he said with a quiver, ��Lord You Jin, we �� we failed!��


    ��What! W-What did you say? Impossible! The city protecting grand array has already been destroyed. Even if 100 thousand pigs were sent in, it��s also impossible to fail, right? Bloodpromise, you��re courting death!��


    Bloodpromise��s words were seemingly like a loud slap, slapping until Hegemon You Jin felt his head spin, his eyesight blurring.


    Hence, he became incredibly furious.


    When a Hegemon was enraged, heaven and earth would change colors!


    On the other side, Hegemon Edgeless was similarly stupefied, his gaze full of astonishment.


    This �� How was this possible?


    Feng Xiaotian actually blocked it? But the army did not seem to have entered the Absolute Heaven Barrier for very long!


    Bloodpromise quivered even harder, and he said, ��I-It��s the city protecting grand array that had a problem! The city protecting grand array wasn��t damaged at all. Feng Xiaotian lured us into the grand array and instantly activated the grand array! South Qi��s city protecting grand array recovered to its peak power all at once! 0-Our army of 100 thousand �� has been virtually wiped out!�� Talking until the end, Bloodpromise��s voice was already akin to an ant��s.


    But Hegemon You Jin heard it all!


    An army of 100 thousand bloodkins was completely annihilated!


    Bang! The phantom in front of him directly exploded and dissipated without a trace.


    You Jin��s fury could already immolate heaven and earth!


    ��Hahaha �� You Jin! I��m very weak. But our Heaven One is akin to having providential help! Army of 100 thousand completely annihilated! This time, you probably also can��t give an explanation after you return to the clan, right? Sorry about this. You most likely won��t be able to drink this seat��s blood!��


    Edgeless��s laughter reverberated throughout the heavens.


    Really satisfying! An army of 100 thousand bloodkins was completely annihilated!


    When did our Heaven One achieve such a terrifying great victory before?


    That was right. It was terrifying!


    This victory sounded like it was simply a fantasy tale!


    Too horrifying!


    Killing 100 thousand bloodkins, what kind of concept was that?


    The more furious You Jin was, the better he, Edgeless, felt.


    These days, he had really been oppressed badly.


    Thank you, South Qi Giant City! Thank you, Feng Xiaotian!


    was


    It was just that beyond the ridiculing, he was also very confused in his heart.


    He was still aware of how much ability Feng Xiaotian had.


    This punk had the chance to advance to Hegemon, but to talk about Formation Dao, he really did not have this ability.


    Just who on earth was it? To actually do such a major thing that had the ability to rule the world?


    ����


    ��Hahaha �� What a stinking brat! The big gift that you gave Master is really too surprising! Really too satisfying!�� Seeing the battle report that was sent over, Hegemon Cloudmount was extremely delighted


    Below True Sovereign Heaven, all annihilated!


    Emperor Cloud Heaven bloodkins, more than 2000 killed!


    Emperor Vast Heaven bloodkins, more than 400 killed! Emperor Sakra Heaven bloodkins, 28 killed!


    The battle report that came from South Qi Giant City simply set the world on fire.


    Although he did not know what happened in South Qi Giant City, he knew that Ye Yuan must have done it!


    Apart from him, there was no one else!


    He knew that Ye Yuan went to South Qi Giant City. When he got the Extreme Medicine Sect��s message, he was still worried about Ye Yuan��s safety.


    South Qi Giant City��s situation was very bad. He was very worried too.


    Who knew that such a piece of astonishing good news was actually transmitted over!

 Chapter 2870 - Blood Imitation Pill!

    Chapter 2870 Blood Imitation Pill!


    ��Old Fogey Cloudmount, you really accepted a fine disciple!��


    ��Old Thing, this time, Your Father really has to hand it to you! This battle is satisfying!��


    ��Old Fogey Cloudmount, this time, you can show off however you like!��


    In the Absolute Heaven Barrier, the Hegemons felt an upsurge of emotion too. This kind of unprecedented great victory had never been experienced since the rise of the blood race.


    Too satisfying!


    These 100 thousand blood race elite soldiers were absolutely not expendable to the blood race too.


    After this battle, the blood race had to dial it back too.


    ��Who said that Your Father is going to show off? Humph! This punk just came to Heaven One Continent for a few years. The contributions that he rendered are even greater than Your Father, this Hegemon Realm! No can do. Your Father has to go beat him, in case he becomes cockier than ever!��


    Swoosh!


    A stream of flowing light flew out, Hegemon Cloudmount��s clone flew straight for South Qi Giant City.


    The faces of the group of Hegemon Realms immediately turned black. This was called not showing off?


    If I couldn��t beat you, I��d definitely press you, this old thing, on the ground and rub up and down!


    ��Ye Yuan? You��re saying that we lost at the hands of a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven? Hang on! Why is this name �� a little familiar?��


    In the Blood God Temple, Lord Wang Zuo��s face was somewhat stunned.


    Clearly, he did not expect that the truth would actually be so surprising.


    Originally, South Qi Giant City finally opened up a passageway, and Lord Wang Zuo was very


    happy.


    Who could have thought that 100 thousand elites actually went and never returned!


    He was somewhat unable to accept this result.


    A battle that was a certain win actually ended being defeated so thoroughly in the end.


    The important thing was that the blood race completely did not know whose hands they were defeated at.


    Feng Xiaotian?


    Absolutely not!


    The blood race was too clear about how much capability Feng Xiaotian had.


    Hence, the Blood God Temple activated Heaven One Continent��s intelligence system and finally knew everything.


    Ye Yuan!


    This name appeared in front of Lord Wang Zuo.


    The blood race��s intelligence chief said, ��Lord Wang Zuo remembered correctly. The defeat in the battle of Northern View City was precisely because this Ye Yuan came in between. That��s why we fell short of success at the last step! Lord Bloodsky is also seriously wounded and haven��t recovered because of him.��


    Lord Wang Zuo��s gaze turned cold, revealing some killing intent!


    These two times were both the blood race��s strategic victory. It was actually ruined in the hands of a Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Unprecedented humiliation!


    The chief knew that Lord Wang Zuo had killing intent aroused!


    ��Have you figured out why South Qi��s city protecting grand array would suddenly recover?�� Lord Wang Zuo said in a solemn voice.


    The chief said, ��We figured it out. It was Hegemon Luo Tian��s Lesser Origin Restoration Art! It��s said that this Lesser Origin Restoration Art landed in the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s hands in the end. So this subordinate guessed that this boy might have very likely obtained the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s inheritance!��


    Lord Wang Zuo��s pupils constricted, his gaze full of shock.


    Labyrinth Divine Palace��s inheritance, these few words seemed to have magical power!


    The super great sect that swept across the heavens back then!


    Even he, this royal bloodkin, was extremely moved by the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s inheritance too!


    ��In addition, Heaven One Alliance has already imparted the Lesser Origin Restoration Art all-round to the 108 cities! In the future, if we want to open up a passageway, it will likely �� be even harder!�� The chief could not help feeling a headache.


    Originally, the blood race had already seen the dawn of the Absolute Heaven Barrier being breached.


    Who knew that they would actually return to before liberation overnight because of Ye Yuan��s sudden emergence!


    Freaking hell �� Who to reason this out with?!


    Lord Wang Zuo mused for a moment and said in a solemn voice, ��Inform the Dark Night to kill Ye Yuan at any cost!��


    The chief��s gaze turned intent, being extremely shocked.


    Dark Night consisted of bloodkins lying low in Heaven One Continent. It was also him who was responsible for liaison with Dark Night


    His information also came from Dark Night.


    It was too difficult for the blood race to want to slip into Heaven One Continent through the Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    Hence, each one in Dark Night was very precious.


    Lord Wang Zuo was actually disregarding all costs for the sake of a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven?] If Ye Yuan strayed outside, that would still be fine. But, if he kept hiding in South Qi Giant City, the price of wanting to kill him would be too great!


    Feng Xiaotian was not to be messed with!


    ����


    ��What? You �� You want to go out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier?��


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Hegemon Cloudmount nearly bit his tongue off.


    Are you freaking kidding? Your Father doesn��t even dare to go out, and you want to go out?


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��It��s been a few thousand years. The blood race is getting stronger and stronger! But we know nothing about them. At this rate, it��s very bad for us! If my guesses are right, you all are already under tremendous pressure now, right?


    More than tremendous!


    It was simply Mount Tai crushing down from above!


    Having obtained two continents, the blood race acquired countless blood. This was their capital to become strong!


    In these few thousand years, the blood race gave birth to five Hegemon Realms!


    Heaven One Alliance did not have a single one!


    Not only did they not have any, three Hegemon Realms even fell in these few thousand years!


    With one declining and the other rising, the Absolute Heaven Barrier was actually in a precarious situation already.


    At this rate, the blood race��s Hegemon Realms would get more and more. Even if Heaven One��s Hegemons joined hands, they would not be the blood race��s match anymore as well. At that time, it would be true despair!


    Hegemon Cloudmount had a black face as he said, ��This has nothing to do with you! What you have to do now is to devote yourself to cultivation and grow your strength! Even if you break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven, it will be of tremendous help to the alliance too!��


    This boy was already unbelievably impressive at just Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    When he reached Emperor Sakra Heaven, Cloudmount simply did not dare to imagine it.


    Perhaps he would be the blood race��s nightmare!


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat. We know absolutely nothing. It��s very dangerous! Only I��m the most suitable to infiltrate the blood race!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s mouth curled, and he said, ��The blood race��s aura is very unique. After you go out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, you��ll immediately get recognized. The blood race must have already learned about South Qi Giant City��s matter. I think that they would love to have you walk right into a trap at this time.��


    Ye Yuan smiled, and suddenly, the aura on his body changed.


    A bloody and evil aura emerged from his body.


    This aura was actually identical with the blood race!


    Seeing ghost!


    If not for that Ye Yuan was still chatting with him earlier, he would definitely have smacked Ye Yuan to death with one slap right now!


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s eyes became wide saucers and he said in disbelief, ��You �� How did you do it?��


    The blood race��s aura could not be imitated at all.


    That kind of aura was derived from bloodline, derived from each cell.


    Even if it was a Hegemon Realm, they would not be able to sneak into the blood race too.


    Otherwise, the alliance would have long sent people to infiltrate the blood race.


    But Ye Yuan actually did it!


    A heavenly pill appeared in Ye Yuan��s hand, and he said with a smile, ��This is called Blood Imitation Pill. After taking it, one will be able to change their aura from the inside out. Even the blood race will find it hard to discern too. Tsk tsk, the blood race��s blood essence is indeed good stuff!��


    During these few years, Ye Yuan collected some blood race blood essence. He naturally would not give up on the research. The Blood Imitation Pill was one of the results!


    Hegemon Cloudmount stared at the pill dumbfoundedly. There was indeed only Ye Yuan who could do this!


    But sadly, this thing was useless to him.


    His cultivation realm was too high! ��Alright. Since you��ve already decided, I won��t stop you. However, the blood race is different from Heaven One. You have to be careful!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said in a solemn voice.

 Chapter 2871 - Delivering Heads!

    Chapter 2871 Delivering Heads!


    The South Qi Giant City after the battle entered a rare period of peace.


    On a dark night with strong wind, several figures floated into the city lord manor.


    The black-clothed person asked in a solemn voice, ��You are sure that Ye Yuan is in the courtyard?��


    A human knelt as he said, ��Yes, Master! Ye Yuan has frequently been coming in and out of Feng Xiaotian��s manor these few days. Just in the evening, this slave saw with my own eyes that Ye Yuan entered the courtyard and never came out! That large yellow bull would never leave his side. Today��s no exception either!��


    The black-clothed person said with a strange laugh, ��Jeje, after this boy dies, he can be sufficiently proud! In order to kill him, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, our Dark Night mobilized four Emperor Vast Heavens and seven Emperor Cloud Heavens this time!��


    ��Master is wise! Feng Xiaotian seemed to have calculated that we��re going to ambush Ye Yuan. So he sent a Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse to protect Ye Yuan closely,�� the human said.


    The man in black said with a laugh, ��Heh, Feng Xiaotian calculated everything and also can��t calculate that we actually planted so many blood slaves in South Qi Giant City!��


    The black-clothed person, Blueash, was an Emperor Sakra Heaven upper echelon of Dark Night!


    In Dark Night, every powerhouse was extremely precious!


    Each time they sent these Dark Night members into Heaven One Continent, they would have to pay a terrible price.


    This was because the grand array in the cities was connected to the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    If they wanted to enter, they had to go through the cities.


    Therefore, wanting to supply Dark Night, they must launch a large-scale war. Imagine how great the difficulty it was for Dark Night to break through the city protecting grand array and Heaven One army!


    The blood race had clear distinctions from other races.


    Although the human race was unable to imitate the blood race��s aura, it was similarly difficult for the blood race to imitate the aura of humans too.


    But the blood race could plant blood marks in humans, turning them into blood slaves.


    These Dark Nights gathered intelligence through one blood slave after another.


    However, South Qi Giant City��s screening was extremely strict. It was very hard for blood slaves to get in.


    South Qi Giant City did not have many blood slaves. In order to let these blood slaves into the city, Dark Night spent a huge amount of effort.


    However, these blood slaves�� strengths were not strong, and their status was not high. They were unable to gather some core secrets.


    But this time, they were finally put to use!


    Blood slaves could directly summon bloodkins into the city through a special array formation, avoiding the inspection of the city protecting grand array.


    Of course, they would not use this kind of method unless it was a last resort.


    Once exposed, they would die without burial grounds!


    Therefore, in order to kill Ye Yuan, Dark Night really put forth blood capital this time.


    One Emperor Sakra Heaven, four Emperor Vast Heavens, and seven Emperor Cloud Heavens, they were just for the sake of ensuring a certain kill in one strike!


    This was the full power of a hidden branch!


    Blueash made a hand gesture; 11 Emperor Realm powerhouses quietly headed for the courtyard that Ye Yuan was staying at. Ye Yuan��s courtyard was quiet.


    In a side room, a powerful aura covered the entire courtyard.


    Blueash gave one of the Emperor Vast Heavens a wink, making them go to the side-room to tie down that Emperor Vast Heaven.


    Meanwhile, the other three people would launch a certain-kill strike against Ye Yuan.


    As for Blueash, he was here to let these people make a full retreat!


    Although his strength was not as good as Feng Xiaotian, bringing these people and escaping after killing Ye Yuan was an easy job.


    Three!


    Two!


    One!


    ��Do it!��


    Blueash shouted coldly. Three great Emperor Vast Heavens immediately erupted with all their strength.


    With Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses taking action, how shocking was the commotion?


    Before the strike landed, the entire courtyard already turned into a pile of dust.


    The Emperor Vast Heaven protecting Ye Yuan was directly bogged down.


    Boom!


    Blueash��s strike directly leveled the courtyard to the ground!


    But in the next moment, his eyes went wide.


    This was because Ye Yuan was actually standing there perfectly safe and sound!


    His full-power blow actually did not even harm a hair of his!


    ��This �� How is this possible!�� Blueash said in disbelief.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Blueash with a smile that was not a smile as he slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Dark Night really made an extravagant display! One Emperor Sakra Heaven, four Emperor Vast Heavens, seven Emperor Cloud Heavens, if you all die here, Dark Night will feel great pain too, right? Wonder whether Lord Wang Zuo will stomp his feet in anger or not?��


    As he talked, Ye Yuan��s appearance and aura underwent an upheaval change.


    That aura even rose rapidly and actually directly reached Emperor Sakra Heaven! Blueash��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��F-Feng Xiaotian! This is impossible! What I felt earlier was clearly �� was clearly ����


    ��Clearly Ye Yuan��s, right?�� Feng Xiaotian smiled and his fingertips bent lightly. A little void sword suspended in his palm.


    The aura of that little sword was exactly the same as Ye Yuan��s!


    Reaching Blueash��s realm, it was naturally impossible to identify the other party by their appearance, but it was possible through the unique aura of each person.


    Each person��s Dao was different. So the aura on everyone��s body was also completely different.


    Completely simulating another person��s aura, this was impossible.


    But Ye Yuan could!


    Before leaving, Ye Yuan forced out a wisp of Dao sword and handed it to Feng Xiaotian. This Dao sword could perfectly conceal Feng Xiaotian��s own aura and let him turn into Ye Yuan!


    It was for the sake of paying them back in their own coin!


    Sure enough, Blueash fell for it.


    Blueash��s entire body trembled as he said in disbelief, ��How �� Can this be?��


    For the sake of the assassination this time, he had already been doubly cautious.


    He did not expect that it still fail!


    He never dreamed that Ye Yuan could actually let others perfectly disguise as himself!


    Just how many tricks and trump cards did this guy have?


    Feng Xiaotian smiled and said, ��Your current expression is exactly the same as mine back then! Huhu, since you came, stay behind!��


    �� ��


    ��What in the world is going on? Who can tell me what the hell is this!��


    In the Blood God Temple, came Lord Wang Zuo��s bellow.


    Yes, he was furious!


    The entire hidden branch was completely annihilated!


    One Emperor Sakra Heaven, four Emperor Vast Heavens, seven Emperor Cloud Heavens!


    In order to let these people enter Heaven One, how much price did he pay?


    But now, it was directly gone!


    The key thing was that Ye Yuan was not dead!


    The next day, Ye Yuan swaggered around in South Qi Giant City again.


    That appearance was clearly telling the blood race, I��m not dead!


    Even being hundreds of millions of miles away, Wang Zuo had a feeling like he had been slapped too.


    This was because the order to kill Ye Yuan was given by him!


    If not for his order, it was impossible for Blueash to have moved out in full force.


    But in the end, all were completely wiped out!


    What was even more aggravating was that after the second day, Ye Yuan was even more arrogant until he directly went out of the city!


    Furthermore, he only brought one Emperor Vast Heaven guard.


    He seemed to be saying: come on, kill me!


    Wang Zuo��s order had not been rescinded yet. Of course he had to be killed!


    Hence, several more waves of Dark Night members came to raid Ye Yuan.


    In the end, still completely annihilated!


    However many came, however many died!


    In a short half a month, Dark Night lost two Emperor Sakra Heavens, 20 Emperor Vast Heavens, and more than 70 Emperor Cloud Heavens!


    Lord Wang Zuo was completely mad!


    He had no choice but to have the chief send the order to stop the raid on Ye Yuan. This was freaking simply delivering heads!

 Chapter 2872 - Registration

    Chapter 2872 Registration


    ��Heh heh, Ye Yuan, your alchemy skills are really divine! We��re walking openly in the city like this, and nobody recognizes us!�� Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Yang Qing and he said crossly, ��I say, can you be low-profile or not? Do you know that there are Emperor Realm powerhouses nearby eavesdropping?��


    Yang Qing said without a care, ��What the hell do Emperor Realm powerhouses count for! I��ll be able to sweep away them before long!��


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance, his mouth curling as he said, ��Is that so? If you��re so impressive, you must not need me to help you refine the Emperor Fate Pill.��


    The moment Yang Qing heard, he immediately switched to a fawning expression as he said, ��I��m saying, I��m so impressive, but isn��t it still all thanks to Master Ye? In the future, when I, Hegemon Azuresky, sweep across the world and reign supreme, you��ll be the father of the emperor!��


    ��Shut up!��


    ��Oh!��


    Humph!


    Just you be smug!


    After Lord Qing, I, reach Hegemon Realm, I��ll definitely give you a good one!


    At this time, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing two people had long already passed through the Absolute Heaven Barrier and arrived in a blood race city. The Blood Imitation Pill was a heavenly sovereign level pill. Yang Qing could naturally consume it too.


    The two people swaggered through the streets but did not reveal the slightest flaw.


    Of course, there also would not be bloodkins who would think that there were actually people who could completely imitate their aura.


    This city was called Giant Net City, one of the blood race��s largest cities on Heaven One Continent.


    Ye Yuan they all even obtained a piece of news. A new battle of sons selection would be carried out here.


    The blood race would select new Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons and True Sovereign Hundred Sons every decade.


    The most outstanding 200 bloodkins would be sent to the Blood God Temple and be heavily groomed. Wanting to investigate the blood race��s secret, entering the Blood God Temple was naturally the best choice.


    However, the blood race��s present territory already occupied more than two-thirds of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Their clansmen were naturally a lot.


    When Ye Yuan two people arrived outside the Absolute Heaven Barrier, they were completely stunned too.


    The number of the blood race was seriously too many!


    The scale of their one city was often three to five times that of a Heaven One city! It was not that the blood race was extravagant, but that without this scale, they could not accommodate so many clansmen at all.


    The blood race propagated by splitting, the propagation speed extremely fast.


    Ye Yuan two people estimated that the numbers of Heaven One��s races added up, probably could not even match up to a tenth of the blood race��s!


    So many clansmen, no matter how low the chances of giving birth to powerhouses, the number could not be very low either.


    The blood race had two Blood Emperor level cities in Heaven One Continent, Giant Net City was one of them.


    Giant Net City would select 20 of the strongest people and send them to Thundercry Continent and Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, to undergo the final hundred sons selection.


    Ye Yuan two people were aiming for this.


    The place to report was the battle hunting ground in the city.


    This place had a large-scale grandstand and could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people!


    At this time, all seats were occupied in the battle hunting ground.


    Each period��s hundred sons battle was the gluttonous feast of the entire blood race. It could be said to be followed closely by all the people.


    Therefore, the battle hunting ground��s tickets would be hiked to a sky-high price every time.


    How many powerhouses were participating in Giant Net City��s selection?


    Eight million Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    One million True Sovereign Heavens! This number looked scary, but actually, it was nothing.


    This selection had no threshold. Anyone could take part.


    And the population that a Blood Emperor level city had jurisdiction over reached as high as several tens of billion!


    Then why would the Saint Sovereign Heavens number just eight million?


    Therefore, the majority of those who came to take part in the selection were very confident in themselves.


    Actually, this kind of selection was a cruel trial in the first place.


    Many Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were originally unknown, but in this kind of cruel selection, they grew stronger the more they fought, ranking in the hundred sons in the end!


    This kind of example was not in the minority.


    Of course, this number was really frightening when placed in the Heaven One Alliance!


    Over eight million Saint Sovereign Heavens, this was merely just the number in one Blood Emperor level city.


    There were ten Blood Emperor level cities on Heaven One Continent. Then the other two continents?


    Those two continents were two complete continents!


    ��Enter your name!��


    ��Name.��


    ��Bloodazure.��


    The Saint Sovereign Heaven in charge of registration issued a wooden card to Yang Qing, engraving his name on it.�� ��Enter your name!��


    ��Name.��


    ��Bloodazure,�� Ye Yuan said.


    The registration person was taken aback and said, ��You��re called Bloodazure too?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��What��s the problem?��


    The registration person shook his head and said, ��No problem.��


    Finished saying, he issued Ye Yuan a token too.


    The blood race had a lot of people with the surname blood. There were naturally a lot of Bloodazure names too.


    It was just that these two people were called Bloodazure at the same time. It made him very surprised.


    One Saint Sovereign Heaven, one True Sovereign Heaven. Furthermore, it looked like they were on very good terms.


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan hatefully, wishing to tear him to shreds.


    This guy actually took on the same name as him!


    For this, he even flew into a thunderous rage with Ye Yuan. But of course, he was still suppressed by Ye Yuan in the end.


    Ye Yuan was Saint Azure back then. Now, when choosing a name, he naturally had to pick Bloodazure too.


    As for Yang Qing, he had azure as his name to begin with. He naturally had to pick Bloodazure too.


    Hence, two Bloodazures appeared.


    Yang Qing shot Ye Yuan a hateful glare and said, ��Punk, don��t fail to enter the top ten. You��ll disgrace Bloodazure this name!�� Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The one who should be worried should be you, right? If you can��t get a spot, scram back to your hometown for me!��


    Yang Qing said with a cold smile, ��What a joke! If this sovereign gets second place, I��ll immediately commit suicide!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Unfortunately, there are ten passageways. Otherwise, these ten spots, I��ll bag them myself.��


    Failing to posture, Yang Qing was not willing to show weakness. He said, ��Me too!��


    These two people looked down on each other like nobody else was around, immediately drawing angry glares from a group of people.


    These two �� are too freaking arrogant!


    Are you treating us as air?


    ��Huhu, what high-sounding sentiments! A grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, the other is even just upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, aren��t the two of you scared to sprain your tongue when talking big?�� Behind the two, one person said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan turned his head to look at him and said coolly, ��Talking big? Is a trash like you worthy of me talking big? Too narcissistic!��


    Just who was the freaking narcissist?


    That person smiled coldly and said, ��Trash? Huhu, there has really never been anyone who dared to say that about me! You probably don��t know who I am, right?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, ��Not interested to know because that��s meaningless to me.��


    ��Huhu, reckless and blind thing, to not even know Brother Chou Yang! He has the strength to attempt for the hundred sons this time!��


    ��I wonder which countryside this fool is from, thinking that he can still be number one after arriving at Giant Net City!��


    u


    OT


    ��Hahaha, what a joke! The things that he said, Brother Chou Yang probably doesn��t even dare to say them. Stupidity is really the original sin!��


    ��It��s fine, it��s fine. After entering the passageway, he��ll be taught how to behave!��


    ����


    Waves of mocking voices came from all around.


    Although there were eight million Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses, there were naturally quite a few who already had great fame too.


    Chou Yang was one of them.


    In Giant Net City, his strength was sufficient to rank in the top three. He was a strong contender for the slots this time. In reality, these ten spots were also probably being produced among those 20 to 30 people. Everyone had a score in their hearts. Even if there was a dark horse, it would also not be a measly little upper Saint Sovereign Heaven��s turn.

 Chapter 2873 - Number One Passageway!

    Chapter 2873 Number One Passageway!


    Among eight million Saint Sovereign Heavens, which realm had the most numbers?


    Upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This realm occupied the vast majority.


    And this realm was actually basically all cannon fodders too.


    Occasionally amazing the world with a single brilliant feat and being able to kill their way into the top 100 was already considered pretty good.


    There was no chance for the top ten at all.


    This was because the powerhouses at the top of the pyramid were all grand completion Saint Sovereign Heavens and half-step True Sovereign Heavens!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s words were really very laughable.


    ��Huhu, kid, I remembered you. I��ll choose the same passageway as you!�� Chou Yang looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold laugh.


    Yang Qing swept a glance at Chou Yang like looking at a fool and said to Ye Yuan, ��This guy wouldn��t be a moron, right?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��He��s clearly an idiot. Talking with idiots will make you dumb. Let��s


    80.��


    Yang Qing deeply felt that way too. ��Right, right, hurry up!�� After done talking, the two people left straight away and completely did not have the intention of paying any attention to Chou Yang. Chou Yang��s face turned into the color of pig liver.


    F*cking hell, too arrogant!


    Facing this scene, many people held the attitude of gloating over others�� misfortune.


    ��Chou Yang followed! Heh, there��s a good show to watch now. Chou Yang won��t let him off!�� ��It turns out that seeking death is done this way!��


    ��I��ll follow that kid too. This good show can��t be missed!��


    ����


    Many people also followed Ye Yuan two people, seeing which passageway he was entering.


    Eight million people, a moment of carelessness and you would lose them.


    The entrances of True Sovereign Heavens and Saint Sovereign Heavens were not in the same place. So very soon, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing were splitting up.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the passageway entrance, and the guard said, ��Entering from which passageway?��


    Ye Yuan asked, ��Which passageway is the strongest currently?��


    The guard gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, ��The strongest at present should be the number one passageway.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Number one then.��


    The guard was not long-winded either, directly sending Ye Yuan into the number one passageway.


    Giant Net City��s powerhouses opened up two enormous spaces in the battle hunting ground to carry out the hundred sons selection.


    The fights in the spaces would be presented in the battle hunting ground, hundreds of thousands of people would be able to see them clearly.


    There were a total of 100 Saint Sovereign Heaven passageways, ten as one group.


    In each passageway, only 100 people could enter the next level.


    In the end, the 1000 powerhouses in a group would fight for one spot!


    This way of fighting was extremely cruel.


    Each hundred sons selection, the casualties were virtually more than half in order to fight for these ten spots!


    One had to know, even if the blood race was brutal, wanting to kill the opponent was very difficult too.


    But, out of eight million Saint Sovereign Heavens, it actually needed nearly four million people to die. It could be seen how cruel such a selection was. However, the blood race did not care!


    Their propagation ability was extremely strong and could nurture a large batch of powerhouses again very soon.


    But this kind of method that was the survival of the fittest could create a large batch of powerhouses!


    Therefore, the powerhouses that displayed their abilities and advanced to the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, those were all true powerhouses, their strength extremely terrifying!


    Many of these people even had the strength to kill True Sovereign Heavens!


    When Ye Yuan killed three Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons back then, it could be seen to what kind of extent his strength was formidable.


    Presently, Ye Yuan broke through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven. His strength grew significantly again.


    With regards to this level of selection, he naturally did not take it to heart.


    And this kind of selection, the strong who truly had faith in themselves would all choose the number one passageway. That represented confidence and glory!


    Then why did Ye Yuan choose the number one passageway? He wanted to kill!


    These people were all the blood race��s seeded candidates, all future Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    Each one killed, Heaven One would have one more iota of hope.


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter the number one passageway, Chou Yang��s brows furrowed slightly.


    His strength was very strong, but if he entered group one, then he would have to fight to the bitter end with those few people.


    At that time, he really might not be able to get a spot.


    He naturally did not feel that Ye Yuan entered the number one passageway in order to get a spot. He was clearly playing tricks to make him not dare to enter.


    As for Ye Yuan, as long as he did not fight to the bitter end after entering, there would not be a problem surviving.


    In the passageway, if those who were scared to die hid at one side, no one would find trouble with you.


    But, if you wanted to snatch the passageway opening, then there would be countless people fighting it out to the bitter end with you!


    Clearly, Ye Yuan did not have that strength.


    ��Impressive! That kid actually went into the number one passageway!��


    ��Number one passageway, that��s where immortals fight! I heard that Bloodtrue, Xue Hao, He Ming �� these big shots all entered the number one passageway!��


    ��If Chou Yang were to enter the number one passageway, there��s definitely no problem entering the next level. But, it would be difficult to want to get a spot!��


    ��He got slapped badly by that kid just now. If he doesn��t go in, his face will be lost!��


    �� ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter the number one passageway, many who followed all started whispering to each other.


    Chou Yang��s face turned into the color of pig liver again.


    ��Damn it! This punk definitely did it on purpose!�� Chou Yang said hatefully.


    However, there were already quite a few people who followed after behind him.


    He already sent out the big talk just now. If he were to shrink back at this time, then he would really become a laughing stock.


    Hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said in a solemn voice, ��So what if Bloodtrue? Could it be that I, Chou Yang, am scared of you?��


    Finished saying, he immediately went into the number one passageway.


    The grandstand immediately boiled over with excitement!


    ��Chou Yang entered the number one passageway too!��


    ��Terrific fellow, the number one passageway is really where immortals fight!�� ��Counting in Chou Yang, there are probably half of Giant Net City��s top experts who already entered the number one passageway!��


    ��It��s really a death group! I heard that Bloodtrue��s strength has likely already reached the top 50 strength of the hundred sons!��


    ��The others aren��t bad either! Although there are only a hundred sons each time, those who get eliminated with the strength of the hundred sons aren��t in the minority.��


    ��Yeah, at least Bloodtrue, Xue Hao, Chou Yang, He Ming, the few of them should all have hopes of winning this spot!��


    Chou Yang few people were all seeded candidates.


    Their every movement and action attracted a lot of attention.


    At this time, great gods gathered in the number one passageway. It completely ignored everyone��s enthusiasm for watching the battle.


    Only this kind of battle was nice to watch!


    Only this was exciting!


    This money was not spent in vain!


    As for Ye Yuan, nobody paid attention to him at all.


    An upper Saint Sovereign Heaven, who would pay attention to him?


    Time slowly trickled by. Eight million people chose their passageway one after another.


    The 100 passageways were evenly distributed.


    If a passageway was full, it would not be allowed to be chosen anymore.


    And in reality, the people who chose the first group��s ten passageways were very few instead.


    This was because this was absolutely a death group! Even if you entered the top 1000, it was very hard to fight for that sole spot too.


    There were too many powerhouses!


    Of course, there were also quite a few true powerhouses who opted for a tactical concession.


    After all, obtaining the slot to enter the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons was the king��s way.


    Showing off momentary bravery here did not have any meaning.


    Just as those people said, many who had the strength of the hundred sons were all eliminated in the end and even died.


    But the reality was so cruel!


    Obtain the hundred sons spot, soar to the heavens in one bound!


    Failing to obtain it, fade into the crowd!


    ��It��s over. It��s over! I entered the first group!��


    ��F*ck, just a bit slow!��


    ��It��s hopeless now!��


    ����


    Very soon, the selection of the passageways was completed. Many people were all lamenting the cause was lost.


    Entering the death group, they became hopeless.

 Chapter 2874 - Waited So Long for You Guys!

    Chapter 2874 Waited So Long for You Guys!


    After Chou Yang entered the number one passageway, the pupils of Bloodtrue and the rest all constricted.


    Another formidable opponent came!


    ��Chou Yang, you actually came in too!�� He Ming came up and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    ��Why? You��re allowed to come in, and I��m not allowed to enter?�� Chou Yang said with a cold smile.


    ��Haha, of course you��re allowed, but with your cautious personality, we all thought that you wouldn��t come in.�� He Ming said with a laugh.


    ��Humph! I��m definitely taking this spot!�� Chou Yang said proudly.


    He had the confidence of a powerhouse


    However, his gaze landed on Ye Yuan, brimming with killing intent.


    The passageway had not opened yet. They were not allowed to make a move now. Otherwise, he would have immediately killed Ye Yuan.


    Seeing Chou Yang��s gaze, it immediately drew the attention of those powerhouses who could not help looking toward Ye Yuan in surprise. Could it be that Chou Yang came in because of this upper Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Not to such an extent, right?


    With regard to these gazes, Ye Yuan was completely oblivious and closed his eyes to rest.


    ��He has enmity with you?�� He Ming asked in confusion.


    Chou Yang said, ��If you heard what he said, you guys would also have enmity with him!��


    This sentence successfully attracted the attention of the group of powerhouses.


    He Ming said in surprise, ��Oh? What did he say?��


    Chou Yang recounted the matter at the registration area in detail from the very beginning, successfully increasing Ye Yuan��s aggro value to 300%.


    Which of these people were not proud sons of heaven?


    Which of them was not incomparably proud? They would say that this slot belonged to me!


    But there was absolutely no one who would say these words: I alone will bag ten spots!


    These words were too arrogant and would incur public outrage!


    These heaven��s chosen were strong, but they would not be strong until the extent of incurring public outrage too. Forget about a Saint Sovereign Heaven; even if a True Sovereign Heaven was here, he would not dare to say so too!


    Especially the number one passageway, the strength of these proud sons of heaven did not pale to True Sovereign Heavens!


    So many people attacking together, who could fend them off?


    ��What high-sounding sentiments! Heh heh, the passageway is about to open right away. I really want to see just how impressive this little brother is! Oh, right! Bloodtrue, you likely can��t get this spot!�� He Ming said with a smile.


    Bloodtrue��s strength was indeed slightly stronger than the others.


    Therefore, the likelihood of him getting the spot was the highest.


    Of course, it was also just a possibility.


    So many experts, there were too many variables. No one dared to say that they would definitely win.


    If it was one-on-one, that would be easy to say.


    Bloodtrue did not even look at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Just a moron. You guys are stooping to his level too.��


    ��Hahaha, that makes sense! Idiot, aren��t you going to provoke us?�� He Ming said to Ye Yuan with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and closed his eyes to rest.


    He was not so free. With this bit of time, using it to cultivate, using it to gain enlightenment on Alchemy Dao, Formation Dao, what was not good about it?


    However, him ignoring these people was immediately thought of as being cowardly by everyone.


    ��Huhu, that kid is probably frightened silly, right? Doesn��t even dare to talk anymore!��


    ��Please! With close to 20 big shots, if it were you, would you dare to speak? If it was posturing outside, forget it. Entering the number one passageway, he can only submit!�� ��Makes sense. Being remembered by so many big shots, he��ll really die! In a while, reckon that he��ll be going crazy, hahaha!��


    ..


    ��


    This was a very large space. Over 80 thousand people were being shut in a crammed radius, being shrouded by a light screen. Before the passageway opened, they could not make a move. Otherwise, they would be directly killed. At this time, the two Emperor Sakra Heaven big shots of Giant Net City, Su Mu and Bloodsword, were also both paying attention to the number one passageway.


    This place was often where the strongest one was born.


    ��Bloodtrue��s first place is most likely in the bag. This kid is quite similar to you!�� Su Mi said with a smile.


    Bloodtrue was Bloodsword��s descendant. He firmly suppressed the others in Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    He was also Bloodsword��s pride.


    Regarding this descendant, he also nurtured him with all his heart.


    Hearing that, Bloodsword said smugly, ��I estimate that Bloodtrue��s strength can pretty much enter the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons�� top 20! This battle is merely child��s play.��


    Su Mu��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��That boy hid his strength? You, this fellow, really hid so deeply!��


    Bloodsword smiled and said, ��If he doesn��t hide a bit of strength, how will he win when he reaches the Battle of Hundred Sons? Heh, those capable of going to Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City are all true heaven��s chosen!��


    Su Mu nodded and said, ��If he��s really able to enter the top 20, then this seat��s face will naturally feel a glow too!��


    Bloodsword smiled and said, ��Stop pretending in front of me! Su Yun��s strength can also take first place firmly among True Sovereign Heavens! The value of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons is still not as good as a True Sovereign Heaven in the end!��


    This Su Yun was naturally Su Mu��s descendant.


    They had the backgrounds of Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses. Their strength was naturally extraordinary.


    Su Mu smiled and said, ��The competition between True Sovereign Heavens is even fiercer. Whether or not Su Yun can take first place is really hard to say. Alright, it��s about time to open up the passageways!��


    ����


    Boom!


    The light screen above everyone��s heads dissipated with a loud bang.


    At the same time, the passageways also directly opened.


    Everyone was very far away from the passageway.


    This distance was used to kill.


    However, even if one reached the passageway entrance, it could not be directly entered too.


    The passageway entrance was sealed. There was a mechanism on it. One should activate the mechanism three times in a row before the passageway could open.


    After someone entered the passageway, the passageway would shut again, and it would need to be opened once more.


    And this increased the intensity of the killing.


    Virtually right away, Chou Yang rushed toward Ye Yuan.


    He wanted to kill him at the first moment!


    Not just Chou Yang, quite a few Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses rushed over to this side.


    However, Ye Yuan already disappeared since God knows when.


    ��Where is he? He was clearly still here just now!��


    ��F*ck, at least you ran fast! Don��t let Your Father run into you. Otherwise, I��ll make you die horribly!��


    ��Little bastard ran pretty fast!�� Chou Yang gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    With over 80 thousand people, if one hid in the crowd, it was really not so easy to find.


    At this time, over 80 thousand people had already collided together, flesh and blood scattering, being incomparably tragic. These top powerhouses formed their own circle. More than 20 powerhouses were frenziedly fighting a melee together.


    However, they did not use their full strength. It was just fighting who would be the first to enter the passageway.


    There was no need to go all out in this first round.


    The real killing was in the next level!


    At that time, that would be the real irreconcilable till death.


    After the first level was done fighting, it would give people an opportunity to exploit instead.


    Bloodtrue��s skill was a level higher in the end. He still rushed out of the encirclement of several formidable foes to be the first.


    However, he could not shake everyone off.


    After all, there were no easy people here.


    ��First place is Your Father��s! Bloodtrue, you��re not allowed to snatch it!�� Chou Yang drew his blade and hacked at Bloodtrue frenziedly.


    His strength was really very strong. Even Bloodtrue did not dare to underestimate too.


    However, before entering the passageway, the killing had not reached the peak yet.


    The passageway entrance was the meat grinding field!


    Very soon, those over top 20 powerhouses rushed to the passageway entrance. Following that, they were stunned!


    A figure was unexpectedly at the passageway entrance. He did not enter the passageway either and just stood there like that.


    Who could this person be if not Ye Yuan?


    It turned out that he had long already reached the passageway entrance!


    Seeing everyone come up, Ye Yuan said with a grin, ��Just came huh? I waited so long for you


    guys!��

 Chapter 2875 - Ants Have No Right to Give Up!

    Chapter 2875 Ants Have No Right to Give Up!


    Everyone��s hearts trembled!


    This guy had such speed, no wonder he was gone in a blink of an eye!


    It seemed like this punk��s wild arrogance was not without logic.


    It was just that they did not understand; he was already the first to reach, so why was he still staying here.


    The first to open the passageway, this was an incredible glory!


    However, Bloodtrue also secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    Nearly failed miserably at a simple task!


    ��Waited so long for us? Huhu, boy, what are you trying to do?�� Chou Yang said with a cold laugh. Ye Yuan smiled with ill-intent and said, ��Nothing, I just want to tell you guys that other than me, nobody can take a step into the passageway.��


    The moment these words came out, over 80 thousand people burst into thunderous laughter.


    Were you freaking joking?


    Chou Yang laughed loudly and said, ��Bloodazure, is your brain spoiled? In the hundred sons battle, there has never been only one person who makes it out of the passageway entrance! You mean that you want to stop over 80 thousand of us by yourself?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I never said that!��


    Everyone sneered coldly and were just about to retort but heard him say, ��I��m saying �� to kill until no one dares to go in!��


    Stop?


    It did not exist!


    I��m going to kill all of you, bro!


    Everyone was shocked again.


    This guy was absolutely a mad man! You freaking bragged until even you believed it yourself, right?


    ��Hahaha �� I��m so scared! Punk, come kill me then!��


    ��Yeah, yeah, we all, these half-step True Sovereign Heavens, are too weak. I beg you, kill me.��


    ��Bring it on. I really want to see how you kill until no one dares to go in.��


    Ye Yuan had completely become a clown!


    These words really sounded hilarious to the extreme.


    Somewhere in space, Su Mu two people also exchanged glances, staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    They had really never seen before such an arrogant young man.


    Although Ye Yuan��s spatial rule also surprised them just now, just based on this and he wanted to deal with over 80 thousand people?


    Let alone that speed was not everything; strength was the king��s way!


    No matter what, everyone��s final goal was to pass through the passageway. Even if your speed was fast, it could not be brought into play under this kind of circumstances.


    If everyone rushed forward, you could only forcibly resist.


    Otherwise, the boasting that you made would become a joke.


    Boom!


    Amidst the loud laughter, Ye Yuan suddenly attacked. That ��I beg you, kill me�� statement was directly blown apart, completely erased!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Since you��re begging me, then I��ll satisfy you!��


    The expressions of Bloodtrue and the rest changed drastically.


    This punch was so strong!


    ��I beg you, kill me��, was a top powerhouse too, half-step True Sovereign Heaven. He actually died without even having the time to react.


    Although it was a surprise attack, this also showed that Ye Yuan was very strong!


    Bloodtrue��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, ��Alright, you��ve already proved your strength! You have the qualifications to enter the passageway! Go in. We won��t stop you!��


    He felt that Ye Yuan��s strength was probably not weaker than his own.


    If they really fought, then he would probably have to use all of his strength.


    Right now, he did not want to expose his strength too early. He naturally also did not want to fight with Ye Yuan until they were both wounded.


    But Chou Yang��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Bloodtrue, what do you mean?��


    Bloodtrue said coolly, ��There is no meaning at all. There��s no need to waste time in this level! Want to fight, do it after entering the next level!��


    Chou Yang was a little indignant, but he also felt that Ye Yuan��s strength was likely not weaker than his.


    That blow earlier, he examined his own conscience and felt that he could not do better than Ye Yuan.


    Although this punk talked big, he still had some strength.


    The others stopped talking, clearly tacitly consenting to Bloodtrue��s recommendation.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Are you all misunderstanding something? I��m not flaunting martial prowess to you all. I only want to kill people! None of you guys are allowed to enter the next level!��


    Bloodtrue��s pupils constricted, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Bloodazure, don��t refuse face when it��s given!��


    He was truly infuriated! This punk was posturing a little too much!


    But, just as he was enraged, Ye Yuan moved!


    It was only to see Ye Yuan throw a punch out, aiming straight for one of the top half-step True Sovereign Heavens.


    Boom!


    That person was directly killed without the slightest strength to fight back!


    Everyone��s hearts trembled wildly. If the first


    genuine strength! It was because everyone was already on guard. But the result was still an instant kill!


    This time, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of stopping, one punch following another.


    The places that he passed through were all him instantly killing the others!


    No matter how strong you were, you were all unable to take one punch from me! This fist technique was the dragon race martial technique that Mi Tian improved on with the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist as the foundation.


    Mi Tian was once a Hegemon Realm powerhouse, his horizons extremely far. Altering a fist technique was naturally easily accomplished.


    After improving it and matching it with the Blood Imitation Pill, the power that Ye Yuan released carried a thick bloody and evil aura, being exactly alike blood race martial techniques.


    Back then, when Ye Yuan��s bloodline had just evolved, his combat power could already one-shot the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons.


    Now that his strength had improved greatly, killing these so-called powerhouses was not worth mentioning at all.


    Seeing Ye Yuan rampage in all directions, Bloodtrue��s heart shook wildly.


    This strength was too terrifying!


    ��Everyone join hands and kill this punk first!�� Bloodtrue roared angrily.


    Everyone��s heart turned cold, immediately joining forces.


    zens


    More than a hundred half-step True Sovereign Heavens with apex strength directly surrounded Ye Yuan until not even water could seep through. Among them, there were even some of those top powerhouses. However, it was still useless!


    The more Chou Yang watched, the more alarmed he became. The powerhouses that he viewed as his opponents could not last one punch under Ye Yuan��s hands!


    The current Chou Yang was terrified until his courage and spirit were crumbling. He desperately retreated backward, hoping that Ye Yuan had forgotten about him.


    Who could have thought that this guy was so strong?


    Blunder!


    A miscalculation!


    He finally understood that Ye Yuan ignored him back then not due to haughtiness, but it was because he really did not have him in his eyes!


    Finally, he quietly withdrew from the battlefield and could not help heaving a sigh of relief in his heart.


    Luckily, the others held Ye Yuan back!


    He did not expect that Bloodtrue actually hid his strength.


    Among so many people, only he could barely manage to exchange a blow or two with Ye Yuan.


    It was also fortunate that this guy hid his strength. Otherwise, this time, he would really have to die.


    ��Eh, didn��t you say that you��re not trash and even wanted to prove it to me? Why? Giving you the opportunity now, but you want to leave?�� Suddenly, a deadly voice sounded in his ears.


    Chou Yang was frightened until he blew smoke from all seven orifices, his entire person almost blowing up.


    But he could not find Ye Yuan.


    It was as if the surrounding was all Ye Yuan!


    ��W-Where are you?�� Chou Yang was fully on guard, all the hair on his body standing on end.


    ��I��m right in front of you. You can��t even see?��


    Chou Yang��s pupils constricted, only to hear a long sigh transmit over, ��I gave you a chance. But it looks like �� you��re indeed still just a piece of trash!��


    Boom!


    A punch slammed out. Chou Yang was dead!


    It was naturally very easy for Ye Yuan to kill Chou Yang.


    But he deliberately did not kill in order to let him feel fear.


    Among the thousands of experts, in a blink of an eye, there were only three or four left.


    There was even a large swathe of the others who died.


    But Chou Yang��s death triggered everyone��s nerves.


    Chou Yang��s strength was absolutely the most pinnacle existence in this group of people.


    But, even he was dead, without the slightest strength to fight back.


    ��We��re not entering! All of us are not going in!! Don��t kill me!�� He Ming��s courage and spirit had crumbled as he said.


    Bloodtrue also had a solemn expression as he said, ��Bloodazure, you win! I give up!��


    He did not feel that Ye Yuan dared to kill him because he was Deputy City Lord Bloodsword��s descendant!


    The consequences of offending an Emperor Sakra Heaven were unimaginable!


    Boom! A punch was sent out. He Ming was directly blown apart.


    Bloodtrue��s pupils constricted, only to see Ye Yuan��s devilish voice transmit over, ��Sorry, I never said that I wouldn��t kill you all if you beg for mercy! Ants have no right to give up!��

 Chapter 2876 - Executioner, Ye Yuan!

    Chapter 2876 Executioner, Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan threw a punch over, Bloodtrue��s pupils constricted.


    He could not block this punch!


    ��Ancestor!�� Bloodtrue��s eyes turned bloodshot as he roared.


    Right at this time, a voice came down from above the void, ��Bloodazure, let Bloodtrue off. This seat will owe you a favor.�� Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s fist directly tore Bloodtrue apart without any sluggishness.


    Sorry, who are you?


    Is your favor very valuable?


    Killing the strongest, Bloodtrue, the remaining ones were even too weak to withstand a single blow.


    His strength was long already invincible in the same rank.


    One should not look at how this passageway had a lot of numbers. To Ye Yuan, numbers could not change anymore.


    He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep; places that he passed through, corpses scattered everywhere.


    Apologies, no corpses. It was directly obliterated!


    The blood race did not have corpses! ��Good! Good! Good! Very good! Huhu, a mere Saint Sovereign Heaven actually directly treated this seat as air!�� Above the void, Bloodsword stomped his feet in anger.


    An exalted Emperor Sakra Heaven was actually being disregarded!


    That brat called Bloodazure did not even pay attention to him!


    By the side, Su Mu also looked at him with a sympathetic look as he said, ��Calm down. He��s just a junior. If he��s dead, then he��s dead.��


    Bloodtrue��s talent was indeed high. But, no matter how high, he was also just Saint Sovereign Heaven. It was not worth flying into a rage.


    Bloodsword��s descendants were in great numbers. There would always be a few outstanding ones.


    As for finding trouble?


    Don��t even think about it!


    The overseers in the clan were still watching!


    Regarding the hundred sons selection, the Blood God Temple attached a lot of importance to it. They would send overseers to each city.


    It was for the sake of ensuring impartiality of the selection.


    Although he was angry, Bloodsword really did not dare to do anything to Ye Yuan! If Ye Yuan faded into mediocrity, then forget it. Yet, his strength was formidable. There was absolutely no problem entering the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons!


    Such a genius, how could the clan possibly allow Bloodsword to deal with him?


    Ye Yuan also knew this. That was why he would go on a killing spree.


    The current Ye Yuan had already gone mad from killing!


    we


    was


    Over 80 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens were fleeing crazily inside the space. There was already no one who dared to contend with Ye Yuan head-on.


    They already understood that Ye Yuan��s strength was on a completely different level than them.


    Head-on fighting was no different from seeking death.


    But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of letting them off. His movement technique was extremely fast, places that he passed through, a bunch of bloodkins would directly disappear.


    The numbers in number one passageway were diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was no retreat route in the passageway. The only way out was the passageway. When Ye Yuan was chasing, some people also wanted to take the chance to escape from the passageway entrance. But what welcomed them was a punch from beyond the heavens, directly quelling them.


    Hence, a strange scene appeared in the number one passageway.


    Ye Yuan alone was chasing 80 thousand Saint Sovereign Heavens and killing them. On the battle hunting ground��s grandstands, it had already completely boiled over with excitement.


    ��Where did this guy pop out from? This �� This is also too strong, right?��


    ��My eyesight must be freaking failing! Number one passageway, which time didn��t kill until heaven and earth dimmed? This time, it��s actually one person hunting down 80 thousand people?��


    ��Dark horse! An absolute dark horse! This guy��s strength can probably already enter the hundred sons top five!��


    ��Too monstrous! Too monstrous! Our Giant Net City is going to shock the Blood God Temple with this!��


    �� ��


    The scene that appeared before their eyes was seriously too surprising.


    They originally planned to watch a miserable fight. But in the end, what they saw was one person hunting down several tens of thousands of people!


    Time slowly trickled by. Ye Yuan already turned into a super demon king, making the people in number one passageway tremble with fear when they heard him.


    ����


    At the second floor space, there were already many people who were successful.


    Along with the passage of time, the numbers became more and more.


    But what they found strange was that the number one passageway did not have people come out of it from start to end! ��Eh, it��s really strange. Is the fighting in the number one passageway this time so tragic? More than 90 people in our number three passageway have already come out. Yet, they actually didn��t have a single person coming out!��


    ��The first level is merely playing. Those guys wouldn��t have pulled out the big guns, right? But even so, it also wouldn��t be completely zero, right?��


    ��Now this is interesting. Three days will be up very soon. Are they planning on rushing out together?��


    The first group��s 1000 people already reached over 800 people at this time.


    The first level��s contention was only three days�� time.


    Presently, the time limit was going to be up very soon. But, not a single person came out of the number one passageway. This made everyone incomparably surprised.


    These bloodkinds all gathered together, speculating on all sorts of possibilities.


    Just like that, the 900 people from number two passageway to number ten passageway were gathered very soon.


    But number one passageway still had no activities.


    Time slowly trickled by. It looked like the three days time limit was going to be up right away. The questions in everyone��s hearts grew more and more.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, the passageway opened, a figure flew straight out.


    Seeing this person, the 900 people present could not help being stupefied.


    Who was this person? Where��s Bloodtrue?


    Where��s Chou Yang?


    Where��s He Ming?


    Why was it an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven who came up?


    Were those guys all defeated by Ye Yuan?


    ��Hey, kid, where are the others? Why is it just you alone who came up?�� The number two passageway��s first place could not hold back his doubts and asked Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan was the only one who came up, he naturally would not be scared of Ye Yuan.


    It was because his strength was not the slightest bit weaker than Bloodtrue they all.


    It was just that he did not know, when those bloodkins in the first level saw Ye Yuan now, they practically wanted to piss their pants.


    This guy was too horrifying!


    The people were naturally not killed entirely.


    Over 80 thousand people, there were too many of them.


    Even if it was standing there to let Ye Yuan kill, Ye Yuan would have to kill for a long time too; let alone that those people fled desperately. In three days, Ye Yuan killed nearly 40 thousand people, killing until even his hands felt weak!


    In the end, he actually could not quite kill anymore.


    Ye Yuan was strong, but he was not strong until he could be like back then, slaughtering hundreds of millions of lifeforms with one finger. They were the same rank after all. He still had to kill one by one.


    After adjusting his breathing for some time, Ye Yuan immediately came up.


    As for the rest, they naturally did not dare to come up anymore.


    Courting death?


    Ye Yuan did not answer the ��first place.�� He swept a glance over everyone��s faces and said with a smile, ��Mn, this time, there��s no need to kill until my hands turn into jelly anymore. Just a few hundred people, killing all of you won��t take too much effort.��


    ����


    Half a day later, the first group was completely wiped out!


    Ye Yuan stepped into the passageway with a back view that appeared slightly lonely.


    He bagged this spot.


    This time, he was the first to come out.


    The battle situations of the other nine groups were much fiercer than group one.


    When Ye Yuan returned to the battle hunting ground, the hundreds of thousands of spectators on the grandstands fell into a death-like silence.


    Their gazes when looking at Ye Yuan were filled with fear.


    This guy was an out-and-out executioner!


    All 900 proud sons of heaven, he killed them all by himself!


    These few thousand years, the hundred sons battle had already been hosted god knows how many times. Such a thing had never appeared before.


    Even if the blood race was extremely warlike, they were intimidated by Ye Yuan too! ��Hahaha �� Too weak! A bunch of trash! You can��t even block one of your Grandpa Qing��s spear! Sure enough, Grandpa Qing is the first to come out! Humph humph, Your Father said to take first place; it means I��m taking first place! Eh, you punk, you actually came out earlier than me? But it��s no use. Your Grandpa Qing challenged ten half-step Emperor Realms with one spear, fighting until none of them dared to make a move! How is it? Impressive or not?��


    Suddenly, Yang Qing��s figure appeared above the grandstands. The moment he came out, he made an unnecessary fuss and was incomparably arrogant.

 Chapter 2877 - How Could There Be Such an Impressive Person in the World!

    Chapter 2877 How Could There Be Such an Impressive Person in the World!


    Yang Qing made an unnecessary fuss, but very soon, he discovered that something was not right.


    Too quiet!


    The battle hunting ground had several hundred thousand watching the fights. Why was it so quiet?


    Seeing Ye Yuan looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, Yang Qing only felt somewhat jittery and said, ��W-What did you


    do?��


    Yang Qing already understood Ye Yuan long ago. One should not look at how this guy normally kept quiet, appearing too profound to understand.


    But, when he caused trouble, ten Yang Qings could not catch up either!


    Ever since this guy landed on Heaven One Continent, how many earth-shaking major events had he done already?


    Motherf*cker, looking at his appearance, it looks like today��s trouble was not small again!


    ��Nothing, it��s just that �� I killed all the geniuses in my passageway. Uh, these guys were too weak. There��s no kick in killing at all,�� Ye Yuan said with some dissatisfaction.


    Everyone was speechless.


    No kick and you still killed so many!


    You��re simply the devil!


    My blood race is bloodthirsty, but it simply does not hold a candle compared to you at all!


    It was also just that there was three days�� time. If Ye Yuan was given a few more days, everyone would not doubt in the slightest that this guy could kill off all the people in the number one passageway! ��W-What did you say? K-Killed all? What kind of joke is this!�� Yang Qing��s eyes became wide-saucers, a look of disbelief on his face.


    He knew that Ye Yuan was very strong but did not know how strong the current Ye Yuan was. This result was really too surprising!


    Killing everyone in a passageway, what did this mean?


    This signified genuine invincibility in the same rank!


    Saint Sovereign Heaven, no matter how impressive you were, you could not post any threat to Ye Yuan anymore!


    Thinking about his own battle achievement, he actually showed off in front of him.


    Uh �� was this not him slapping his own face?


    But very soon, he understood why Ye Yuan did so.


    Really satisfying!


    If this news reached back to South Qi Giant City, the Heaven One that had just calmed down would explode again, right?


    Yang Qing gave Ye Yuan a big thumbs up and said with a strange expression, ��You��re amazing!��


    ��Hahaha, I finally got a spot! The few of you fools aren��t my match in the end!��


    Suddenly, a figure landed in the plaza and let out a burst of loud laughter.


    Zhuo Er defeated many formidable foes, obtaining the Saint Sovereign Heaven spot. He was very excited.


    But very soon, he also discovered something amiss.


    Where were the cheers? The voices of exclamations?


    Why was it so quiet?


    Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the number one passageway and could not help being startled in his heart.


    It was not Bloodtrue!


    Not He Ming!


    Not Chou Yang either!


    It was just �� an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven! What the hell?


    The number one passageway where powerhouses gathered, why would it be an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven who obtained the spot? ��That kid, why is it you who came out of number one passageway? Did they kill one another and let you come off cheap?�� Zhuo Er looked at Ye Yuan and said with a disdainful look.


    The several hundred thousand people present had expressions that were strange to the extreme.


    Come off cheap?


    Kill one another? Huhu, did they have this chance?


    Ye Yuan completely ignored him and said to Yang Qing, ��Why are there so many idiots this


    2 SO I


    year?��


    Yang Qing smiled and said, ��There are idiots every year. This year is especially a lot!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Makes sense, makes sense!��


    Zhuo Er��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��Boy, I��ve remembered you, refusing face when it��s given!��


    Everyone on the grandstand only felt a chill run down their backs.


    This was a great killing god! Not being remembered by him was already giving thanks to everyone. You actually still wanted to remember him?


    Very soon, all the passageways had people come out of it.


    The 20 spots were occupied very quickly.


    Su Mu and Bloodsword descended from the sky, landed in the plaza.


    It was just that their expressions were both very ugly.


    Su Mu��s descendant was also beaten down by Yang Qing.


    However, he was a little better than Bloodsword. Yang Qing did not have that ability to kill everyone.


    Encountering this kind of homicidal maniac, anyone would be depressed until they vomited blood.


    Bloodsword looked toward Ye Yuan with an unfriendly expression and said with a cold smile, ��Boy, you��re very good. This seat has remembered you!��


    The moment these words came out, the 18 victors present all had baffled faces.


    How did this boy offend Great Emperor Bloodsword?


    However, Zhuo Er gave a cold laugh, thinking to himself that this punk was dead for sure, to have actually offended Great Emperor Bloodsword!


    Unless you really became Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, you would be dead for sure.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Are you stupid? Do I, Bloodazure, still need your approval when killing people? Is your face very valuable?�� Bloodsword��s pupils constricted, a pair of eyes staring at Ye Yuan, already almost unable to suppress his impulse to kill people.


    The hundreds of thousands of people present, as well as the hundred sons candidates, were stunned!


    You are also too freaking arrogant, right?


    That �� That is a Great Emperor!


    You rebutted him so readily! Isn��t this sowing irreconcilable enmity?


    Ye Yuan naturally did not care. This guy did not dare to do anything to him at all.


    As for the future, he also would not really keep staying on in the blood race.


    After I left, who cares about floodwaters surging!


    Being so arrogant, Ye Yuan naturally did it on purpose.


    The persona of a homicidal maniac naturally needed unparalleled overbearingness to serve as a foil.


    ��Don��t look at me with this sort of eyes. Otherwise, I��ll kill you in the future! Maybe you feel that it��s a little funny, but breaking through to Emperor Sakra Heaven is nothing difficult for me. In fact, maybe I don��t need to step into Emperor Sakra Heaven, and I��ll be able to kill you at Emperor Vast Heaven Realm! You might feel that this day is very far away and that you have adequate time to kill me. But you��ll never get the chance! With my strength, getting Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons first place is as easy as turning over my hand! In the future, I��ll be True Sovereign Hundred Sons number one too. Emperor Realm will be the same! You��ll never have the chance to kill me!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Bloodsword and said it casually.


    But the looming threat that exuded was too obvious!


    F*ck me!


    Too awesome!


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven actually threatened an Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    Those 18 hundred sons candidates all opened their mouths wide.


    Where did this guy pop out from?


    Each one of them was a candidate. Why were you so outstanding?


    Why were you so impressive? ��Hahaha, who do you think you are? Hundred sons number one? Why don��t you ascend to heaven?�� Zhuo Er looked at Ye Yuan and mocked with a loud laugh.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan threw a punch over, Zhuo Er directly disappeared without even reacting to it.


    The remaining hundred sons candidates had dumbfounded faces!


    Freaking hell, you were also too arrogant, right? We all killed our way out from a horde, and you killed on a whim?


    However, this guy was really so strong! How could an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven be so strong?


    Looking at Bloodsword again, he actually did not even dare to let out a word!


    What did this show?


    This showed that Great Emperor Bloodsword already acknowledged Ye Yuan��s words in his heart!


    He really did not have the opportunity to kill Ye Yuan!


    IS e


    But Ye Yuan could kill him as easily as turning over his hand in the future!


    Too awesome!


    There was actually such an impressive person in the world!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! When everyone was still in shock, Ye Yuan moved again!


    ��Bastard, we��re hundred sons candidates, you dare to kill us?��


    ��Motherfucker, everyone attack! Fight it out with him!��


    ����


    Very soon, these people were annihilated!


    The original ten candidates were already just left with Ye Yuan one person currently!


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock!

 Chapter 2878 - Blood Pool!

    Chapter 2878 Blood Pool!


    Nine hundred sons candidates had just killed their way out of heavy encirclement and were currently fired up with boundless enthusiasm.


    In the blink, they were gone!


    ��Impressive! Really impressive! Is this guy insane?��


    ��Doesn��t he know that once these hundred sons candidates get a spot, it��s equivalent to being protected by the Blood God Temple and having a death-exemption gold token?��


    ��It��s going to blow up big this time! The Blood God Temple probably won��t be willing to drop the matter!��


    ��Tsk tsk, this kind of thing is really the first time in the history of the hundred sons selection!��


    ����


    Everyone was stunned by Ye Yuan��s shocking action.


    These candidates had already gotten a spot. It was equivalent to being the Blood God Temple��s disciples.


    But Ye Yuan actually killed all of them!


    Then, could Bloodsword not stop Ye Yuan?


    Of course he could!


    But he did not.


    Bloodsword smiled coldly and said, ��Boy, you��re really arrogant until the horizon! But this time, this seat wants to see who can save


    you!��


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at Bloodsword and said disdainfully, ��Put away your little petty tricks! You��re unable to understand the world of the strong! If these trash go to the Blood God Temple, they will merely make a fool of themselves. It��s enough for Giant Net City to have me alone!��


    ��Well said!��


    A figure stepped out into the air. His aura was actually a little more powerful than Bloodsword two people.


    But Bloodsword��s expressions changed drastically.


    He thought that Lord Blood Envoy would punish Ye Yuan severely.


    Who knew that he actually said ��well said��! Blood Envoy looked at Ye Yuan, his eyes making no effort to hide the admiration in the slightest as he said, ��Boy, this seat likes you very much!��


    With one sentence, it shocked everyone again!


    Blood Envoy looked at Bloodsword and said coolly, ��Bloodsword, you disappoint this envoy greatly! The improvement in cultivation realm has already made you lose your original heart! Back then, you came from the hundred sons too. At that time, you were decisive in going for the kill and was also extremely stunning! But the sharp edge on you has been ground flat. Have you forgotten our blood race��s original intention of choosing the hundred sons?��


    His gaze swept over the faces of Yang Qing and the others, and he said in a solemn voice, ��My blood race isn��t afraid of death. What we��re afraid of is that you��re not strong enough! Only the strong have the right to survive! Weaklings can only be eliminated! Bloodazure��s talent is the strongest that this seat has seen! Do you think that this seat will punish Bloodazure for a group of useless trash? Ridiculous! What he said was right. It��s sufficient for Giant Net City to have him alone!��


    The whole place was silent. Many people lowered their heads in shame.


    Bloodsword��s old face felt even more ashamed.


    Where was the agreed upon face-slapping?


    Why did he get slapped?


    But Yang Qing laughed wildly in his heart when he heard it. Where did this moron come from?


    Was it really alright for you to support that guy like that?


    When you all discover that the one that you all were supporting was actually a human, would you go berserk at that time or not?


    Even thinking about it felt a little exciting!


    Yang Qing was currently very much looking forward to the arrival of that day.


    Ye Yuan this fellow was too capable at causing trouble!


    ��Alright. Since the selection is already done, the 11 of you head to Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City with this seat then!��


    Arriving at Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, even if it was Ye Yuan, he was also amazed by it. This city was really too big and too grand! He could feel that the city walls were made of extremely high quality treasures, giving off waves of extremely terrifying auras. Although Ye Yuan could not feel the array formation in the city, he felt that this city absolutely had an extremely terrifying destructive power!


    South Qi Giant City was utterly not worth mentioning in front of Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City.


    This Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City was probably built by the blood race pouring their power in!


    Even if a Hegemon Realm came, it was likely very hard to conquer this city too!


    ��Lord Owlfly, Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City��s city seems to be a little different!�� Ye Yuan pretended to be curious.


    These hundred sons candidates were all like country bumpkins entering a city for the first time too. They were naturally deeply shocked by the grandeur of Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City too.


    ver


    Therefore, upon Ye Yuan asking, they all immediately perked their ears to listen.


    Owlfly said coolly, ��You just know that even if a Hegemon Realm came to this city, they will have to die with regrets too! No need to ask about the rest! This is our blood race��s secret. When your cultivation realm is up to par, you��ll naturally know!�� When Ye Yuan heard, his heart turned slightly cold!


    Indeed as expected!


    However, this was pretty good news too.


    If one day, some Hegemon Realm went crazy and ran over to attack Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, then they would really suffer a cataclysmic disaster.


    Although the blood race did not understand Formation Dao, there must be some hidden means too.


    It was just that the blood race was too mysterious. Many things were not known by outsiders.


    ��Alright. After entering the city, don��t run around. Some places are not where you guys can go! I��ll order someone to explain this to you. You all are powerhouses who killed your way out of tens of thousands of people and are all seeded candidates for the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons too. As a reward, you all can enter the Heaven Absolute Blood Pool and cultivate for ten days! As for how much improvement you can make, that will depend on your potential!�� Blood Envoy Owlfly said.


    The blood race had a very superficial understanding of Alchemy Dao.


    But they similarly had their own cultivation methods.


    Blood pools were one of them!


    The blood race studied blood extremely deeply.


    Devouring blood was just the most primitive method!


    The blood race had a profession called blood medicine master.


    Like heavenly alchemists, they would use some secret techniques to mix with blood, letting the blood unleash very miraculous power for the clansmen to absorb.


    The blood race would create blood pools and pour these formulated blood in, which would be the blood pools.


    However, this kind of method was extremely bloody.


    The construction of blood pools required extremely terrifying amounts of blood.


    They occupied two continents. All races were enslaved by them.


    Hence, the blood race slaughtered construct powerhouses to build one blood pool after another.


    The sins that they had committed were too numerous to be recorded! There was a blood pool in Giant Net City too. But, compared to Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, it naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that the blood race��s best blood pool was in the Blood God Temple!


    The final reward of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons was to enter the Blood God Temple��s blood pool!


    This was absolutely a huge reward to the bloodkins!


    When these Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons entered, it would even let them undergo a transformation to remold themselves thoroughly!


    Watching Ye Yuan and the others enter the blood pool, the corners of Owlfly��s mouth curled slightly.


    With this boy��s character, he would probably cause a huge wave again after entering the blood pool, right?


    However, the more trouble he caused, the better!


    Otherwise, how would it show this seat��s prowess?


    Blood envoys monitored the world!


    But he, this blood envoy, was just monitoring a measly little Heaven One Continent.


    Thundercry Continent and Lastingwind Continent��s blood envoys were the real people in power!


    Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons actually had little to do with Heaven One Continent.


    It was because the people that Owlfly brought over every time were basically all cannon fodder characters.


    Lastingwind Continent and Thundercry Continent had 99 Blood Emperor level cities respectively. There were three great blood envoys.


    Of the seven great envoys, he was getting along the most poorly!


    But this time, Ye Yuan made his eyes lit up!


    This boy was not a well-known figure, but he amazed the world with a single brilliant feat!


    Furthermore, he was very optimistic about Yang Qing��s strength too!


    Two Bloodazures, this was his capital to win back face!


    This time, it was finally Your Father��s turn to turn things around, right?

 Chapter 2879 - Kill Them All!

    Chapter 2879 Kill Them All!


    Lastingwind and Thundercry two continents both had 99 Blood Emperor level cities.


    Ten people each city, there would be 2000 hundred sons candidates.


    But there were only 99 positions in the blood


    pool!


    These 2000 people sharing 99 positions were naturally not enough. Therefore, they could only snatch!


    These 99 positions naturally all had people occupying them.


    The lower the number, the higher the concentration of the blood medicine.


    Hundred sons candidates, each person had ten days of cultivation opportunity.


    But actually, the vast majority could not get ten days!


    Wanting to cultivate in the blood pool, they would have to challenge one of them.


    The victor only had one day of cultivation time.


    The loser, bye bye!


    Losers were not allowed to challenge a second


    time.


    One day later, that number would accept other people��s challenges again.


    Ye Yuan handed his wooden card to the manager, and it just happened to be seen by a hundred sons candidate beside him, immediately attracting a series of ridicules.


    ��Tch, Giant Net City, a bunch of cannon fodders also dare to come to the blood pool to cultivate! Hey, kid, don��t you know that a trash from Heaven One Continent isn��t allowed to enter the blood pool?��


    The one who spoke was a youth whose mouth stuck out and had a chin like an ape��s. The moment these words came out, a group of amused looks immediately cast over from all around.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard that. It seemed like there was really only him entering the blood pool!


    What is going on?


    Is Heaven One Continent such a failure?


    This matter was Ye Yuan who was ignorant and ill-informed.


    The other cities�� people all knew about this.


    But Ye Yuan had zero communication with those people on the whole journey. There was naturally no one who told him about this. It was not that Ye Yuan pretended to be proud and cold but that the matter of him slaughtering off a passageway had already spread out. Those people all feared him like a tiger.


    In reality, the hundred sons candidates from Heaven One Continent would never step into the blood pool.


    This was because that was only asking for trouble.


    In the course of time, no one went anymore.


    Heaven One Continent rarely had someone who could enter the ranks of the hundred sons!


    Even if one occasionally entered, they would also be ranked at the bottom.


    At first, they naturally wanted to enter the blood pool to cultivate too.


    However, they were beaten each time until they had to search the ground for their teeth or even straight up ended up dead. There was naturally no one who dared to come anymore.


    Therefore, the blood pool had an unwritten rule, those from Heaven One Continent were not allowed to enter!


    Of course, this was the agreement among the hundred sons.


    The officials naturally still acknowledged their identities. It was just that they looked down on Heaven One Continent.


    Why was there such a situation? Actually, Heaven One Continent��s bloodkins were basically all immigrants. The earliest immigrants were all the weakest batch in the blood race.


    These people were merely cannon fodders, specifically used to deliver to death.


    The blood race used these people to whittle away the cities under the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Either way, if these people died, there would be no heartache either.


    But without a doubt, Heaven One Continent��s bloodkins were the weakest in the blood race!


    Of course, Heaven One Continent had true elites too.


    The 100 thousand strong army that was destroyed by South Qi Giant City as well as that army that sneak attacked Northern View City back then were elites!


    However, these two armies had completely succumbed at Ye Yuan��s hands


    SUC


    It was also precisely because of this that the blood race��s Wang Zuo would be so furious, insisting on killing Ye Yuan.


    Although Ye Yuan did not know what was going on, he understood very quickly.


    Owlfly deliberately did not say anything. It was in order to let him come and make trouble!


    That guy knew that he was strong, so Owlfly specifically let him come and slap faces!


    Heh, this guy is really wicked. Isn��t he afraid of him succumbing here?


    However, slap faces it is then. After I push you up to the sky and then tell you that I��m a human, would you vomit blood on the spot or not?


    ��I really didn��t know this. Brother, can you teach me or not?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    The youth whose mouth stuck out and had a chin like an ape��s said with a sneer, ��Brother? Are you worthy too? Hurry up and get out! Otherwise, you��re going to get it!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��I��m a hundred sons candidate. With an identity token, I naturally have the right to challenge the people in the blood pool. You don��t have the right to make me go out.�� The youth whose mouth stuck out and had a chin like an ape��s said with a snicker, ��Whoa! Hundred Sons candidate, what a scary title! Hahaha! He said that he��s a candidate for the hundred sons. Are you all afraid or not?��


    There were immediately people who started kicking up a row all around.


    ��Scared! Scared to death! We, these people, are all not hundred sons candidates!��


    ��Is Heaven One Continent that place full of powerhouses? Are they all very formidable?��


    ��I wonder if those powerhouses in the blood pool are a match for the Heaven One Continent expert or not!��


    ����


    These people completely looked down on Heaven One Continent, their words being very nasty.


    The youth whose mouth stuck out and had a chin like an ape��s said disdainfully, ��Boy, you might not know, those able to enter the blood pool to cultivate, all have hope of becoming Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons in the end! And you all who came from Heaven One Continent are all cannon fodders! Do you understand what��s called cannon fodder? Kid, don��t blame me for not warning you. Hurry up and get lost. Once you choose to challenge the powerhouses in the blood pool, you��ll die very horribly!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Is that so? I��m so scared! This lord, I wonder if when it��s my turn to challenge, can I make everyone in the blood pool get lost?��


    By the side, that half-step Emperor Realm manager could not help being stupefied.


    All get lost?


    What was the meaning of this?


    ��Uh, I mean, challenging all of them! If I kill them all, I should be able to enjoy the blood pool all by myself, right?�� Ye Yuan saw that the manager was confused and asked. The manager was stupefied again, his mind somewhat unable to wrap itself around that.


    Kill them all?


    This fool, where did this guy appear from?


    ��H-Huhu, little fellow, do you know who are cultivating in the blood pool?�� The manager could not help laughing as he said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said coolly, ��Who they are have nothing to do with me. Because they will become dead people very soon.�� When the youth whose mouth stuck out and had a chin like an ape��s heard that, he laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� Awesome! Heaven One Continent really produced a formidable character! Then you remember well. I��m called Blueblood! When you challenge, remember to call me along!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��If you want to court death, I naturally won��t stop you.��


    The slot for challenging only had 99 people every day.


    Ye Yuan just handed his identity token over. He naturally had to wait in line.


    His time to challenge was two days later. Ye Yuan��s words instantly caused an uproar in the entire blood pool.


    They had seen before morons, but they had never met anyone so moronic!


    What is this place?


    Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City!


    Even if you are a dragon, you have to coil up too!


    Do you know how many powerhouses were here?


    You boasted so shamelessly and actually wanted to kill everyone in the blood pool!


    Are you crazy? ��Why did an idiot come from Heaven One Continent?��


    ��Apart from producing fools, what else can that godforsaken place produce?��


    ��Huhu, the ten seeds this year, there are seven who are cultivating in the blood pool! This kid has gone nuts to actually want to kill them all! Tsk tsk, really looking forward to it!�� ��Two days! Two days later, we��ll naturally know!��


    ����


    Everyone used sympathetic gazes to look at Ye Yuan.


    They already determined that Ye Yuan was a fool.


    If he was not a fool, how could he say such stupid words?


    The manager looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��No need to kill everyone. You just have to defeat everyone, and this blood pool will naturally be yours alone!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��What��s the point in defeating? It��s naturally directly killing!��

 Chapter 2880 - Aren’t You All Attacking Together?

    Chapter 2880 Aren��t You All Attacking Together?


    The next day, it was Blueblood��s turn to challenge. He directly challenged the number seven blood pool��s powerhouse.


    This action also caused a stir in the blood pool.


    Before this, Blueblood was invincible. No one expected that he would be so strong.


    The number one blood pool was one of the ten great seeded candidates!


    To dare challenge this position, Blueblood��s strength naturally went without saying.


    However, no one expected that Blueblood actually won!


    Won beautifully!


    Everyone could also see that this Blueblood was actually still holding strength in reserve!


    This guy was absolutely a major dark horse.


    In the hundred sons battle this time, Blueblood was very likely to make it into the top ten.


    All of a sudden, Blueblood became Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City��s man of the hour!


    Before entering the blood pool, Blueblood specially came before Ye Yuan and said smugly ��Powerhouse from Heaven One Continent, I welcome you to challenge me tomorrow! Remember, I��m at the number seven blood pool!��


    Ye Yuan had always been at the martial arena. He had also seen this battle.


    Blueblood��s strength was indeed very strong.


    Reaching Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, the strengths of these contestants were more than a level stronger than those in Giant Net City!


    Ye Yuan could also tell that these hundred sons candidates hanging around in the blood pool, their strength was actually about the same level.


    They had virtually already reached the limits that Saint Sovereign Heaven could reach! Compared to those in the Extreme Medicine Sect in the same rank, the blood race was significantly stronger!


    However, Ye Yuan was far from concerned.


    With his bloodline breaking through, his strength had long already broken through the limits of Saint Sovereign Heaven. Coupled with the effect of the power of blessing, he was virtually invincible in battle!


    Even if the current Ye Yuan faced off against a middle True Sovereign Heaven, he could also cut him down!


    These blood race Saint Sovereign Heavens all had the strength to jump a major realm and fight. But, if they faced off against a middle True Sovereign Heaven, it would be certain death.


    Not everyone was as monstrous as Ye Yuan.


    ��You are not worthy yet!�� Facing Blueblood��s provocation, Ye Yuan turned his nose up at him.


    ��Huhu, you can go ahead and posture now. I hope that you won��t be scared when it��s time to challenge tomorrow!�� Blueblood said with a sneer.


    The current Ye Yuan had long already become a laughingstock of the blood pool.


    He wanted to challenge everyone in the blood pool. This sort of thing had never happened before in the history of the blood race.


    Nobody possessed the strength to defeat a hundred same rank geniuses in Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Furthermore, these hundred geniuses were all the strongest in the blood race��s Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    On the following day, the challenges in the blood pool continued without any breaks. Many dark horses rose to prominence one after another.


    But no one was as stunning as Blueblood.


    Finally, it was the third day. It was Ye Yuan��s turn to challenge! Many people gathered around, pouring ridicule on him again. ��Hey, Heaven One Continent��s expert, it��s your turn to challenge! You said before that you wanted to challenge all the geniuses in the blood pool! You mustn��t be scared at this time!��


    ��Your luck is pretty good. Bloodage already maxed out the ten days and already came out of the blood pool. Otherwise, you can still challenge him.��


    ��Go up there and do it, don��t be scared!��


    ��Big shot, hurry up and knock them all down. I want to carry your shoes for you!��


    ����


    Ye Yuan had not taken the stage yet, and a series of guffaws already came from all around.


    The geniuses present were all very proud, so they never disdained to take somebody to the task.


    They had always had the heart that yearned for number one but would never say that I was going to sweep all of you away.


    No one dared to say so!


    Bloodage was the publicly recognized strongest person in this period. If Ye Yuan just challenged him, it would not be to such an extent of making people ridicule him like so.


    But, to challenge everyone, that was too stupid!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan became an out-and-out clown in their eyes.


    The manager looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Expert from the Heaven One Continent, are you still insisting on challenging everyone?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right. Call them over and end the fight swiftly. I still have to cultivate.��


    The manager was stupefied. Clearly, he did not think that Ye Yuan really dared to accept it.


    He was just throwing in a word or two of derision earlier.


    Could it be that this guy was really tired of living?


    In a certain hidden space, several big shots were currently paying attention to the situation in the blood pool.


    ��Owlfly, he��s your trump card this time? No matter how I look, he seems like a fool too!��


    ��Huhu, could it be that this kid thinks that this place is Heaven One Continent? He just killed a few fools. Does he really think that he��s invincible in the same rank? Even if he��s really invincible in the same rank, nobody dares to be so arrogant either, right?��


    ..


    .


    .


    .


    The seven great blood envoys were shockingly present.


    The other six people mocked Owlfly.


    They had already heard about Ye Yuan��s performance on Heaven One Continent.


    It was just that in their view, what was killing a bunch of trash worth being smug about?


    They were all too clear about the strength of the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons. Because each period��s Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were led by them.


    And among them, there were quite a few people who were former Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons too!


    Why did the blood race attach so much importance to the battle of hundred sons?


    It was because the chances of powerhouses being born among the hundred sons were very high!


    The Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons from several thousand years ago were presently long already big shot characters who could take charge as chief at a front.


    There were even some who already broke through to Hegemon Realm! Each period��s battle of hundred sons was conducted every ten years. It could be said to be the cradle of the blood race��s reserve powerhouses!


    And they all, these blood envoys, the Blood God Temple would also give a certain reward to the powerhouses that they brought out.


    It was just that Owlfly had never gotten these rewards before.


    Facing the other six blood envoys�� mockery, Owlfly did not care and just said with a smile, ��Young people can��t be taken seriously when showing off momentary bravery. We all just have to watch the show properly.�� A blood envoy said with a cold smile, ��Tch! Owlfly, don��t think that we don��t know what you have in mind! Finally managed to get a card and you want to sweep away our faces, right? It��s just that if we extend our faces over, do you dare to hit?��.


    Who to send into the blood pool, how much strength to exert, they all had a score in their hearts.


    The battle of the blood pool was actually the preview of the battle of the hundred sons.


    And Owlfly had never won before!


    So his goal was not hard to guess.


    �� ��


    In the martial arena, 99 genius martial artists were staring at Ye Yuan. It was as if they were looking at a dead man.


    This guy was absolutely a mad man! ��Min Wen, go and take care of him. He��s purely wasting our time!�� The one who spoke was precisely the number one blood pool��s genius, Bloodrain.


    After Bloodage left, he moved from position two to position one.


    Now, he was the strongest one among these 99 people!


    As for Min Wen, he was merely Bloodrain��s lackey.


    Bloodrain completely looked down on Ye Yuan and could not be bothered to take action to deal with him. It was a waste of time.


    When Min Wen heard the command, he rushed straight for Ye Yuan.


    ��Hang on!�� Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    Bloodrain smiled coldly and said, ��Scared? Sorry, it��s too late!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You guys sure that you��re not attacking together? I gave you all the chance. In a while, you guys won��t even have time to regret it!�� Everyone exchanged glances first. Following that, it was hooting peals of laughter!


    Attack together?


    Just to deal with an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Huhu, you have to know, our opponents were basically all True Sovereign Heavens!


    ��Huhu, punk, get through me first before posturing!�� Min Wen rushed toward Ye Yuan with a big laugh.


    Bang!


    A large blood-colored hand suddenly appeared from the void!


    A palm smacked down, and Min Wen directly turned to ashes!


    ��Mn, I��m considered to have gotten through, right? Are you all sure that you want to come one by one?�� Ye Yuan��s eyes swept over everyone��s faces, his gaze full of ridicule.

 Chapter 2881 - The Blood Race is Full of Treasures!

    Chapter 2881 The Blood Race is Full of Treasures!


    Ye Yuan slowly walked into the center of the group, not taking those so-called powerhouses seriously at all.


    That slap earlier had cowed everyone.


    Very strong!


    Although Min Wen��s strength was not top-notch, they absolutely could not smack him to death so casually!


    ��Nobody��s coming? Then I��m coming!��


    Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish, rushing right into the group. When he went, he was still like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!


    Although their strength was more than a level stronger than Giant Net City��s geniuses, at the very most, they could only withstand three to five moves from Ye Yuan.


    Then they would kick the bucket!


    These geniuses were all the strongest people in the same rank in the blood race. They all had their own pride and were disdainful to join hands with the others.


    Especially Bloodrain and the rest, they kept observing from the sidelines with cool detachment.


    However, their eyes held a thick look of fear.


    In a few breaths, Ye Yuan killed several geniuses in a row, his power invincible!


    The expressions of Bloodrain and the rest became increasingly uglier. It was because, among the people who were killed just now, there were a few people��s strengths that already approached that of a seeded candidate.


    But they actually could not last more than ten moves under Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Ye Yuan did not have any fancy moves either. He was just unrestrained like that, dealing punch after punch. One punch, beat you until you vomited blood.


    Two punches, beat you until your bones cracked!


    Three punches, take your puny life! This fist technique looked simple, but the bloodline power contained in it was extremely strong!


    ��What are you all still waiting for? Attack together and kill him! At this rate, we��ll all die!�� Blueblood said in a solemn voice.


    Everyone looked toward Blueblood with strange expressions. Wasn��t he the one who postured the hardest?


    Now, got slapped, right?


    Before this, Blueblood was afraid that Ye Yuan would forget him and even specifically emphasized that he was at the number seven blood pool.


    But now, he was wishing that Ye Yuan had forgotten about him, right?


    However, they also knew that this could not be blamed on Blueblood.


    It was seriously that this Bloodazure was too monstrous!


    Who could have thought that an upper Saint Sovereign Heaven was actually powerful to such an extent?


    At this time, the most shocked one was none other than Blueblood.


    Ye Yuan��s super strong combat power made him feel despair!


    F*ck, what did Your Father do previously?


    Posturing in front of him?


    Mocked him for overestimating his own ability?


    It turned out that he was the most laughable one!


    This guy��s strength was strong until it made people despair! No way! I have to kill him!


    At this time, Bloodrain, who had been silent all along, also said in a solemn voice, ��Kill!��


    These words were tantamount to tacitly agreeing to Blueblood��s proposal.


    These geniuses were going to join forces! Dozens of geniuses pounced toward Ye Yuan crazily.


    ��Haha, bring it on!�� Ye Yuan laughed loudly, his aura rising to a new level.


    Those geniuses practically all wanted to vomit blood.


    You were actually still freaking hiding your strength!


    However, the strength of Bloodrain and the others were really strong too.


    With the group of geniuses joining forces, they actually suppressed Ye Yuan.


    It was just that they discovered that Ye Yuan��s luck was really too good!


    Sometimes, an inadvertent turn of his body could easily evade their certain-kill blow!


    If they wanted to hurt Ye Yuan, it was simply dreaming!


    ��Bloodazure, don��t you want to kill us all? Now, try killing and see! Hahaha ���� Blueblood said with a loud laugh.


    He was not in a hurry. At this time, Ye Yuan would die sooner or later!


    It was just that these words were somewhat shameless. Even the other geniuses could not quite look on anymore as well.


    Do you want face or not?


    Previously, he said that the opponent was too weak to stand up to competition and would be seeking death if he came. Now, so many people were surrounding and attacking him alone; look how proud you became.


    However, many of them seemed to have mocked Ye Yuan before too.


    ��Huhu, is this the strength of the so-called Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons? I still thought that I could run into some decent opponents when I came to Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City. But you all disappoint me very much! There��s no use to our blood race at all for you all, these ants, to be living. So �� you all can go and die already!��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan slammed a punch out. A massive force exploded on the spot.


    More than ten blood race geniuses were directly blown into clouds of blood mist, unable to recover anymore.


    Everyone��s expression changed wildly.


    Ye Yuan actually still concealed his strength!


    This punch earlier was more than ten times stronger than before!


    Even if they pulled out all the stops, they completely could not resist it too.


    The blood race��s bloodline power actually had similar aspects to the true spirit clan��s bloodline power.


    It was just that the blood race��s blood essence had many magical aspects that the true spirit race was not equipped with, such as revival from a drop of blood.


    But the true spirit race was born from chaos, especially the dragon race! Their bloodline power was even more powerful until it was incapable of further increase!


    Through his research on the blood race��s blood essence, Ye Yuan discovered that refining the blood race��s blood essence into heavenly pills could actually improve bloodline power!


    Ye Yuan named this heavenly pill Bloodline Heavenly Spirit Pill!


    After Ye Yuan consumed the profound grade Bloodline Heavenly Spirit Pill, his bloodline power already rose to the middle-stage of battle soul level true spirit bloodline.


    His combat power was long already significantly stronger compared to before. Previously in Giant Net City, Ye Yuan slaughtered countless geniuses. But the strength that he displayed was merely just around 50%!


    At this time, he exerted 80% of his strength. Blowing up these so-called geniuses did not take any effort at all.


    It was also because of this that Ye Yuan was very much looking forward to the blood race��s blood pools.


    He really wanted to see whether this blood pool had any improvement effect on his bloodline.


    Of course, before this, he saw no reason not to kill some blood race geniuses.


    While talking, Ye Yuan smashed a punch towards Bloodrain.


    Bloodrain��s strength was indeed formidable too. His bloodline power already barely reached battle soul level bloodline according to the division of the true spirit lineage.


    It was just that this level was utterly not worth mentioning in Ye Yuan��s view.


    Let alone that he even had the improved Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist that Mi Tian imparted.


    The dragon race��s martial techniques were unparalleled under the heavens!


    Each of Ye Yuan��s punches was heavier than the last. Bloodrain vomited fresh blood wildly.


    On the third punch, he could not bear it anymore and was blown up by Ye Yuan with one punch!


    The current Ye Yuan was akin to a killing god, striking fear into those who saw him!


    Outside the martial arena, everyone was stunned.


    Bloodrain��s strength was publicly recognized as an existence capable of entering the top ten. But he was actually directly killed by Ye Yuan! This guy��s strength was actually strong until this kind of extent. ��Killing Bloodrain with three punches! Just how strong is this guy��s strength?�� ��Too strong! This Bloodazure definitely has the strength to contend for first place!��


    ��He really wasn��t joking about killing off these 99 people! There are only a few people left


    now!��


    ��Eh, the powerhouses around Blueblood have all been killed off one by one, only he isn��t dead yet! Blueblood this fellow wouldn��t be doing it on purpose, right?��


    ����


    People discovered to their surprise that the powerhouses around Blueblood were currently falling one by one.


    But he was safe and sound.


    Blueblood unleashed all of his abilities, but he was weak like a chicken in front of Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan directly blew a genius up. There was only Blueblood alone left in the entire martial arena.


    Ye Yuan stopped.


    ��Number seven blood pool��s genius, I��m challenging you now. Do you dare to accept the challenge or not?�� Ye Yuan looked at Blueblood and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Thud!


    Blueblood knelt right down, his entire body trembling endlessly.


    He had already completely lost the courage to continue fighting in front of Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2882 - Frenzied Absorption!

    Chapter 2882 Frenzied Absorption!


    ��Hahaha, the fool that you all talked about killed off the so-called geniuses that you all brought!��


    Owlfly laughed very happily, very delighted!


    Looking at the six great blood envoys�� constipated expressions, he felt satisfied to the extreme!


    This time, he really felt exaltation upon fulfillment!


    Actually, when he let Ye Yuan enter the blood pool to make a scene, it was just letting him go and challenge those powerhouses.


    He believed that with Ye Yuan��s strength, there was no problem challenging the top ten at all.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan this guy played so freaking big to actually say that he was going to kill everyone the moment he came.


    At that time, he even secretly scolded Ye Yuan for being a fool.


    Do you think that this place is Giant Net City? Who could have expected that this fellow actually even concealed his strength and really killed off all those geniuses in the blood pool!


    Incredible!


    Awesome!


    With this, I could finally straighten my back, right?


    But the other six great blood envoys became unhappy.


    A true genius actually came out from the cannon fodders?


    Seeing Owlfly��s smug appearance, they wished to tear him to shreds!


    Unlucky!


    What was even more aggravating was that Ye Yuan killed off all the elites that they brought!


    Then the hundred sons battle this time, what did they still have to take part in?!


    Blueblood was pissing his pants in fear!


    He was really frightened into pissing his pants! A foul smell emitted from his body, making Ye Yuan frown.


    This guy was crippled.


    This kind of trash wished for the entire world to know when he was posturing.


    When he got slapped, he did not even have the courage to face it.


    Ye Yuan could not be bothered to kill him anymore too, walking straight out of the martial arena and heading towards the blood pool.


    Approaching the blood pool, a bloody smell that made people feel like vomiting hit their nostrils.


    This was a large pool of ten thousand feet in circumference, a dreadful sight to behold.


    But a monstrous fury burned in Ye Yuan��s heart.


    Such a blood pool, how many people needed to be killed?!


    Arriving at the blood race, Ye Yuan saw a lot of things, and he also heard many things.


    After the various races were enslaved, how they lived was really worse than animals.


    The blood race did not kill everyone either. They reared the various races�� powerhouses in pens. When they needed blood, they would draw some from their bodies.


    These powerhouses were like livestock reared at home.


    There were not too many powerhouses worthy of being reared in pens.


    More were directly killed.


    The blood race��s thirst for blood simply could not be described with words.


    They were a bunch of vampires!


    The blood pool was a whole entity, but it was artificially divided into 99 parts by some array formations.


    The center-most blood pool had the thickest bloody aura. The effect was naturally the best too.


    Ye Yuan leaped straight into the center-most blood pool.


    When the people outside saw this scene, each and every one of them was incredibly envious.


    One person dominating the blood pool, this sort of thing had never happened before in Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City.


    Too satisfying! Ye Yuan��s body soaked in the blood pool, he immediately felt a bone-corroding pain coming from within his body.


    The blood seemed to be melting his entire body.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan discovered that every cell in his body seemed to be becoming active.


    His blood seemed to have obtained new life.


    That feeling was hard to describe in words.


    However, he could clearly feel that his bloodline power was advancing!


    ��What miraculous means! The blood in this blood pool isn��t only useful to the blood race. It��s greatly useful to humans and true spirits too! Especially true spirit bloodline, after soaking in this blood, it��s absolutely able to evolve!��


    After experiencing the initial-most pain, Ye Yuan felt as if he was going to ascend to immortality.


    The blood in his body was ignited very quickly. His blood underwent nirvanic rebirth over and over again under the scouring of the blood!


    With each rebirth, there would be a tiny trace of evolution.


    His bloodline power was currently evolving towards late-stage battle soul level!


    Not only that, Ye Yuan discovered that the blood water was actually able to nurture the Dao sword! One had to know that the Dao sword could only slowly become stronger after experiencing the baptism of Dao tribulation.


    Other than this, Ye Yuan did not have very good methods to nurture the Dao sword.


    But this blood race��s blood pool actually had such a miraculous effect!


    Although the efficiency of this conversion was very low, it could indeed strengthen the Dao sword!


    After the Dao sword became stronger, did he not even need to transcend tribulations anymore?


    Why not give it a try!


    ��Too miraculous! I didn��t expect that there��s actually still such a formidable bloodline evolution method in this world! If the dragon race has this kind of method, we can absolutely give birth to a large batch of Hegemon Realm powerhouses!��


    Even Mi Tian could not resist exclaiming with a sigh too.


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Such a blood pool, no idea how many living things were massacred! Using this kind of method to evolve the bloodline isn��t advisable!��


    Mi Tian said awkwardly, ��This old man is just saying it. Of course, I won��t really go and do it! However, punk, you��re coming off cheap!�� Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, ��Senior, pull a big play! Wonder if the blood race will feel heartache if I drain the blood in the blood pool. Also don��t know whether this blood pool is enough for me to absorb or not!��


    As he said, Ye Yuan��s aura suddenly skyrocketed!


    His speed of absorbing the blood water suddenly became extremely fast.


    The blood in the blood pool was actually receding at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    The blood race geniuses, each and every one of their eyes went wide!


    ��Are my eyes going blurry? Why do I feel like the blood essence source in the blood pool is receding?��


    ��Your eyesight isn��t failing. It��s really receding! What on earth did that punk do?��


    ��This �� This is also too fake, right? Could it be that he wants to absorb all of the blood essence source in this pool? I-Isn��t he afraid of stuffing himself until he dies?��


    �� ��


    Blood essence source was the blood race��s term of address for these blood water pools


    Creating a blood essence source was not just drawing blood so simple.


    There needed to be a series of extremely complicated crafts involved.


    Therefore, the preciousness of this pool��s blood essence source was simply unable to be measured using heavenly crystals.


    Why were 100 people permitted to cultivate in the blood pool each day?


    It was because the expenditure of 100 people could be made up for in time.


    But now, the blood essence source in this blood pool was actually receding at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    This showed that the speed of Ye Yuan��s consumption alone was even faster than the consumption speed of 99 geniuses added up!


    Was this guy human?


    Furthermore, the energy contained in the blood essence source was already very powerful to a Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Absorbing for ten days, no matter how genius you were, you would already be satiated too.


    But Ye Yuan �� aren��t you afraid of stuffing yourself until you explode?


    Of course not!


    Ye Yuan was like a bottomless hole, devouring the blood essence source continuously!


    This several hundred feet deep blood pool had already receded by more than ten feet in less than half a day!


    With this, the entire Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City��s upper echelons were all shocked!


    The blood pool was a strategic resource to the blood race. It could nurture countless powerhouses.


    Expending so much at once, how could the blood race not be shocked?


    Very soon, one blood race top powerhouse after another, swarming toward this side in succession.


    They had to make a decision; was it to continue to let Ye Yuan absorb or immediately interrupt Ye Yuan��s absorption?


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm broke through to grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven unknowingly!

 Chapter 2883 - Not Even Letting You Guys Drink Soup!

    Chapter 2883 Not Even Letting You Guys Drink Soup!


    A blood envoy howled, ��Stop! We must stop it! The blood essence source in this blood pool is our accumulations of nearly a thousand years! Can��t let this brat alone deplete it!��


    The consumption rate of the blood essence source made his flesh hurt.


    Even this City Lord in front of them, the muscles on his face were twitching non-stop too.


    Although Saint Sovereign level blood essence source was relatively easy to obtain, this kind of consumption, he could not quite support it too.


    If this was finished absorbing, Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City would probably enter a hundred years of vacuum period.


    ��Stop my *ss! City Lord Your Excellency, Bloodazure is a bloodline genius that��s hard to come across in a million years! His bloodline power far surpasses those in the same rank. He can definitely step into Hegemon Realm in the future! Compared to a Hegemon Realm, what does a mere blood pool count for?�� Owlfly naturally supported Ye Yuan fervently.


    ��Huhu, is Hegemon Realm so easy to break through? Even at our realms, it��s far away and not in the foreseeable future, let alone talk about a Saint Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��Bloodazure can kill 100 hundred sons candidates by himself at upper Saint Sovereign Heaven! His talent is absolutely one-of-a-kind in our blood race! Bloodcurse, are you jealous of the talented?�� Owlfly questioned.


    ��..


    At this time, a group of Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses was arguing non-stop over a Ye Yuan.


    One side felt that Ye Yuan was extremely talented and that they should support him in absorbing the blood essence source.


    But the other side felt that investing the accumulations of a thousand years on a Saint Sovereign Heaven with a vague and uncertain future was not worth it.


    City Lord Ye Wugui was a genuine Hegemon Realm!


    Even he was also hesitant at this time.


    As a Hegemon Realm, no one was clearer than him about the difficulty of reaching the Hegemon Realm.


    But it was also precisely because of this that if they could groom a Hegemon Realm, no matter how much resources were thrown in, it was not overboard!


    Compared to a Hegemon Realm, what did a mere blood pool count as? One had to know, for these few thousand years, even with the resources of two great continents, the blood race only gave birth to a single digit number of Hegemon Realms too!


    The talent that Ye Yuan exhibited had indeed moved him greatly.


    A blood envoy said anxiously, ��City Lord Your Excellency, if we still don��t make a decision, that brat will be draining the blood pool dry!��


    A hint of decisiveness flashed across in Ye Wugui��s eyes, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Let him absorb! This city lord wants to see how much he can absorb! If he can really drain the blood pool, then so what if let him drain it dry?��


    Owlfly��s gaze flashed, his face revealing a look of wild ecstasy.


    This time, wouldn��t Your Father completely take advantage of you idiots? Bloodazure, you have to win credit for this seat!


    Ye Yuan naturally lived up to expectations. He was currently feeling refreshed to the extreme.


    Under the Dao tribulation, the growth of the Dao sword was too explosive. That was a pain like being lacerated.


    But the nurturing of this blood essence source was very gentle. The Dao sword grew bit by bit, becoming more powerful.


    His cultivation realm broke through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven smoothly and actually did not trigger a Dao tribulation!


    And his bloodline power similarly made rather big improvements too. It was just a shame that after his bloodline power evolved to a certain extent, it basically did not grow anymore.


    ��This blood pool is half-absorbed, and the upper echelons in the city haven��t reacted yet. It looks like they have acknowledged me, this ��genius.�� However, this blood pool already doesn��t have much effect on me. I heard that there��s an even better Saint Sovereign level blood pool in the Blood God Temple. Uh �� Should I also suck that blood pool dry?�� Ye Yuan could not refrain from thinking.


    Blood God Temple was the same as the Extreme Medicine Sect��s Extreme Light Pavilion. It was where the legacy of the blood race lay.


    The blood pool there was definitely a grade stronger than this one!


    Such a good thing, Ye Yuan was naturally moved by it.


    Although the effect was already not great, Ye Yuan was still absorbing the blood essence source crazily.


    He did not have to leave behind such a good thing for the blood race.


    Even if some was wasted on me, it��s better than you guys using it.


    On the tenth day, this blood pool no longer had a drop of blood essence source anymore.


    What made everyone vomit blood was that the traces of blood essence source stained on the pool wall, Ye Yuan even sucked it clean like a licking dog! Freaking hell, did you want face or not?


    You ate the meat and did not even let us drink soup?


    ��F-F*ck me! Does this guy still want people to live or not?��


    ��A few thousand years of accumulation was sucked up by him in a few days! Yet, this guy still has an insatiable look! Your Father really wants to tear him to shreds alive!��


    ��The most aggravating thing is that we can��t beat him! This guy is an out-and-out god of killing!��


    ����


    The geniuses outside had completely broken down.


    Blood pool this sort of good thing, who did not hanker after it!


    Ye Yuan was good, not even giving them a drop!


    Coming out of the blood pool and looking at the surrounding expressions like their mothers had died, Ye Yuan felt refreshed in his heart.


    Want to increase strength?


    Sure, go and cultivate bitterly!


    This kind of good stuff that saves effort, I��ll kindly accept it!


    ��All surrounding here for what? If you��re unhappy about anything, you��re welcome to find me to take revenge in the hundred sons battle. I won��t refuse any arrivals!�� Ye Yuan said with a radiant smile.


    I take revenge your *ss!


    You killed people without batting any eyelid!


    If my head freaking missing screws? To find you to take revenge?


    But not being able to take revenge was really very unpleasant!


    Fury rose straight to the clouds all around him.


    Everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.


    This guy could beat 99 by himself when he was at upper Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Now, who else was his mate in Saint Sovereign Heaven?


    Even those few who did not make a move probably did not dare to make a move against him anymore as well, right?


    ��Hahaha �� Little Bloodazure, I, Big Bloodazure, have broken through to half-step Emperor Realm! How is it? Impressive, right? The True Sovereign Hundred Sons battle this time, I��ll definitely take first place!��


    Ye Yuan heard Yang Qing��s voice before he went out.


    Clearly, he had also reaped considerable benefits in these ten days.


    During the past ten days, he challenged ten blood race powerhouses in a row. He firmly occupied the number one blood pool.


    In this blood pool, he gained a sudden epiphany too, and he actually reached half-step Emperor Realm!


    This step was not easy to take.


    However, this blood pool was indeed formidable!


    But, as soon as he came in, Yang Qing saw the empty blood pool. His entire person could not help being stupefied, and he said, ��Eh? Is there no blood pool at your Saint Sovereign Heaven side?��


    Ye Yuan said with an innocent face, ��There was. It got sucked dry by me.�� ��S-Sucked dry?�� Yang Qing��s eyeballs almost popped out.


    Was this fellow still human?


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The quality of this blood pool is a little poor, I think �� the Blood God Temple��s blood pool should be better.��


    Bang!


    A series of tumbling sounds was heard from all around.


    Freaking hell, did you still want people to live or not?


    Yang Qing gave Ye Yuan a big thumbs up again and sighed with admiration as he said, ��You �� You��re amazing!�� ��Hahaha, the two of you, really nice! Very nice!�� Right at this time, a loud laughter sounded out.


    Owlfly��s figure directly landed.


    The current Owlfly was in high and vigorous spirits, feeling indescribably satisfied.


    With the big and little Bloodazures that he brought, he really regained all the face that he lost in these thousand years!


    Delightful!


    Delightful!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance lightly and said with a smile, ��Lead the way then!�� Owlfly was taken aback and immediately said with a big laugh, ��Okay, follow me!��

 Chapter 2884 - Chaos Bloodstone!

    Chapter 2884 Chaos Bloodstone!


    It was still Yang Qing��s first time facing a Hegemon Realm powerhouse. He was somewhat lacking in confidence.


    Although Ye Yuan said that the Blood Imitation Pill could hide from anyone��s eyes and ears, he was still uncertain in his heart.


    After all, Hegemon Realms were virtually invincible existences. They had unimaginably queer divine abilities.


    But very soon, Yang Qing felt relieved.


    This Hegemon Realm powerhouse in front of them indeed could not tell as well.


    In reality, if a Hegemon Realm was really hell-bent on examining them, he could still identify them.


    But who could have thought that two measly humans could actually impersonate the blood race and even run to the blood race��s capital, becoming apex geniuses!


    This was a blind spot thinking. Hegemon Realms were no exception either.


    With such a genius appearing, Ye Wugui was very happy.


    He already knew about Ye Yuan��s heaven-defying performance.


    One blood pool exchanging for a genius with potential for Hegemon Realm was well worth it!


    ��Seeing this seat, you don��t seem to be afraid at all?�� Ye Wugui sized Ye Yuan up rather interestedly.


    ��What��s there to be afraid of? Sooner or later, I��ll become one of you!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    A blood envoy of Lastingwind Continent immediately berated, ��Insolent! Ignorant fool, do you think that Hegemon Realm is so


    easy?��


    Ye Yuan swept a glance at him and said coolly, ��If you can say something like this, it proves that you��re getting further and further away from Hegemon Realm!��


    ��You! Impudent!�� The blood envoy said furiously.


    Ye Yuan��s words struck his sore spot.


    Grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven and even origin powerhouses not being able to break through to Hegemon Realm, it was actually their confidence being worn down after failing to break through time after time.


    This hurdle was far too difficult!


    However, once confidence was shaken, one would really get further and further away from Hegemon Realm.


    Ye Wugui gave Ye Yuan a deep and meaningful glance, not expecting that he could actually say something like this.


    Producing emotions of fear towards Hegemon Realm, one could basically say goodbye to Hegemon Realm in this lifetime.


    Ye Wugui had long seen through. This blood envoy��s realm had basically reached an end already.


    ��Ta Hai, enough! A dignified blood envoy, where��s the sense of propriety in arguing with a junior?�� Ye Wugui said in a solemn voice.


    The blood envoy��s face immediately had nowhere to put.


    He, an exalted blood envoy, was actually reprimanded!


    Ta Hai was on the worst terms with Owlfly, so Ye Yuan��s rise made him very displeased. Hence, he also targeted Owlfly time and again.


    It was just that he never expected that Ye Wugui actually reprimanded him because of a junior.


    It seemed like Hegemon Wugui thought very highly of this boy!


    Owlfly was delighted to the extreme in his heart.


    I did not expect that Your Father would have a day where I could turn things around too!


    Ye Wugui could not be bothered to pay attention and said to Ye Yuan, ��Bloodazure, your talent shows disdain upon your peers. You��re indeed a genius of my blood race that��s hard to come across! However, you already have no opponents among your peers. The hundred sons selection this time already doesn��t have much significance to you. In addition, your bloodline power has already reached the limit of Saint Sovereign Heaven. It��s very hard to improve it any further. Therefore, in the hundred sons selection this time, you don��t need to take part anymore. You also don��t need to go to the Blood God Temple��s blood pool anymore.�� Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��How can that be? Not taking part, it��s insufficient to convince the masses! Others will even think that I, this Saint Sovereign Heaven��s number one, is self-proclaimed! City Lord Your Excellency rest assured, my bloodline power still has room for improvement. So I have to go to this blood pool! This is the Blood God Temple��s reward, City Lord Your Excellency wouldn��t strip me away of this bit of authority, right?��


    What do you mean?


    Not letting me kill anymore?


    How can that be!


    There are still so many geniuses that haven��t been killed!


    My goal is to kill off all of the blood race��s Saint Sovereign Heaven geniuses!


    Also, how can I not go to the blood pool?


    If I don��t drain the blood pool, how many powerhouses are you all going to groom again?


    These things are all mine!


    Ye Wugui similarly frowned and said, ��There��s already not much meaning for you to take part in these!��


    Ye Yuan said unyieldingly, ��I feel that I still have a lot of room for improvement! If City Lord Your Excellency wants to deprive me, Ye Yuan wants to request the Blood God Temple to return Bloodazure justice!��


    Ye Wugui felt a headache!


    Was this guy really not willing to let go of any benefits?


    He was a little afraid that this guy would also drain the blood pool there after going to the Blood God Temple!


    In the end, Ye Wugui said helplessly, ��Alright. If you want to participate, that��s up to you too! However, participating in these indeed doesn��t have much significance to you anymore. Finding you is just to tell you that the clan has already agreed to give you a month��s time to comprehend the Chaos Bloodstone! In addition, the clan will devote resources to help you to break through to Hegemon Realm!��


    The moment these words came out, apart from Ye Yuan, the other blood race upper echelons all trembled all over.


    This treatment was also too good!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he said with palpitating excitement, ��Chaos Bloodstone?��


    Ye Wugui said with a nod, ��Chaos Bloodstone, born from chaos, it��s the source power of our blood race! Our blood race was born from the Chaos Bloodstone! As long as you comprehend a trace, it will be sufficient for you to benefit for life!��


    Ye Yuan��s breathing also became ragged.


    If I were to destroy this Chaos Bloodstone, would the blood race collapse on its own without being attacked?


    He knew that this monstrous performance had already attracted great attention from the blood race.


    The blood race had started to spare no effort to groom him!


    Looking at the expressions of the other blood envoys, he knew just how hard this opportunity to comprehend was to come by.


    This trip was indeed not in vain!


    He had already come into contact with some of the blood race��s major secrets!


    Ye Yuan said excitedly, ��Many thanks, City Lord Your Excellency, for the great favor! After Bloodazure��s cultivation has achieved success, I��ll go to the front-lines and kill off the human race and drink their blood!��


    Ye Wugui said with a smile, ��Very good! This is what men of my blood race should be like!��


    ����


    The news of Ye Yuan��s ��ascension�� spread like wildfire.


    There were cheers in Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City.


    This god of killing was finally not taking part in the hundred sons selection anymore!


    Even those top geniuses also let out a long sigh in relief.


    These geniuses were all extremely proud and extremely confident.


    But, facing a freak who could suck the blood pool dry, they could only let out a long sigh.


    Bloodazure was destined to be the name that suppressed an era!


    ��Excellent! That fiend finally doesn��t need to participate anymore!��


    ��Thank God. If I were to run into him, I reckon that I won��t even have the chance to concede defeat!��


    ��Thank God! Thank you, Lord Wang Zuo! You really did a great thing!��


    ����


    Many people wept agitatedly. Half a month later, the hundred sons battle was held as scheduled.


    When Ye Yuan walked into the contestant area, everyone burst into an uproar!


    ��Didn��t they say that this god of killing went to the Blood God Temple? Why is he still taking part in the hundred sons selection?��


    ��I �� @#$)*1%! Motherf*cker, isn��t this bullying people? You��re already not on the same plane as us!��


    ��I forfeit! Your Father won��t take part anymore, alright?!��


    Ye Yuan��s appearance cast a shadow over the entire hundred sons selection.


    Those geniuses felt that the sky had turned dark.


    ��Hello, everyone. We meet again!�� Ye Yuan greeted everyone with a smile. Everyone wished to go up and tear him to shreds.


    But nobody dared to do anything!

 Chapter 2885 - The Peerless Genius That Slowly Rose!

    Chapter 2885 The Peerless Genius That Slowly Rose!


    ��I ����


    Bang!


    The complexions of the contestants turned deathly pale. Their gazes, when looking at Ye Yuan, were filled with fear and indignation.


    On the stage, the opponent was gone before he had time to admit defeat.


    Ye Yuan already became the nightmare of all the Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons.


    Whoever encountered him had simply encountered eight lifetimes of bad luck.


    At another arena match, two hundred sons contestants fought until they already had completely no strength in the end, fighting like mortals.


    ��I beg you, concede defeat!��


    ��I �� I won��t concede even if I lose, I give up on this! I��ll be able to avoid that demon if I beat you!��


    ��Since that��s the case, irreconcilable till death then!��


    ��Irreconcilable till death!��


    ����


    At another arena match, two hundred sons contestants spoke in unison.


    ��I concede!��


    ��Judge, I admitted defeat first!��


    ��Uttering nonsense! I was clearly the first to concede defeat!��


    ����


    In the end, the two started fighting.


    Between these two, whoever won had to encounter Ye Yuan.


    The entire hundred sons selection, all the fights related to Ye Yuan had already become a hot mess.


    The judges wished to tear Ye Yuan to shreds alive.


    This guy was purely here to cause trouble!


    In this match, Ye Yuan��s opponent was Bloodage, who was once called the number one person.


    These two strongest men finally matched up.


    This battle also attracted the attention of countless people, including Ye Wugui.


    Bloodage��s strength was extremely strong. He could be said to be the well-deserved number


    one.


    But now, Ye Yuan was already the uncrowned king. Whoever encountered him would be frightened.


    It was not because he was strong, but it was because he killed people on sight.


    Ye Yuan looked at Bloodage opposite and said with a smile, ��Everyone says that you��re this period��s hundred sons number one. You wouldn��t be the same as them, admitting defeat when you see me, right?��


    Bloodage looked at Ye Yuan and did not speak.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��If even you admit defeat too, that��s also too boring!��


    Swoosh!


    All of a sudden, Ye Yuan actually arrived right in front of Bloodage with an instantaneous movement.


    The speed was inconceivably swift!


    Ye Yuan knew that this Bloodage was very strong. He could not give him time to react.


    ��I concede!��


    However, Ye Yuan��s figure had just moved, and Bloodage blurted it out without the slightest hesitation.


    He directly admitted defeat very straightforwardly!


    This punch of Ye Yuan��s could not be sent out anymore.


    After admitting defeat, killing was not allowed.


    Whoosh!


    A series of exclamations came from all around!


    ��Bloodage actually admitted defeat!�� ��Too amazing! He��s the first to concede defeat under Bloodazure��s hands!��


    ��Yeah, well-deserving of being the former number one! His strength is simply too strong to actually have time to admit defeat!��


    What they were amazed by was not that Bloodage actually admitted defeat, but it was that Bloodage actually succeeded in admitting defeat!


    Ye Wugui was dumbfounded!


    What the freaking hell is this?


    My blood race had unparalleled combat power and never feared death!


    Today, honor was actually felt for being able to admit defeat?


    Did you people still have any backbone or not?


    Also, this Bloodage, can��t you freaking concede after exchanging two moves?


    Was there a need to be so straightforward?


    Although Ye Yuan was strong, you are not weak either!


    Don��t even dare to attempt it?


    Got to say, Bloodage��s fighting power was absolutely formidable.


    Before Ye Yuan��s sudden emergence, his first place was practically locked in already.


    If they were to really fight, he might not be Ye Yuan��s match, but it was also not to the extent of being the same as the others, being blown up at once.


    However, it was such a genius who did not even have the courage to make a move against Ye Yuan!


    ��Enough, Bloodazure! You��ve already defeated Bloodage and proved your strength. This seat orders you to immediately withdraw from the hundred sons selection!�� Ye Wugui��s furious voice came from above the sky.


    At this rate, the entire hundred sons selection would become a farce.


    Ye Wugui��s angry yell also shocked everyone immensely.


    Even a Hegemon Realm powerhouse was enraged. Did you not have any freaking clue in your heart?


    Ye Yuan looked above the sky and said with a helpless look, ��Then, can I still enter the blood pool if I withdraw now?��


    ��Pffft!��


    Everyone seemed to have heard the sound of Ye Wugui��s vomiting blood.


    ��Yes!�� Ye Wugui��s voice was filled with anger.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled and he said, ��Fine, then I��ll withdraw. Sigh, not a single one who can fight. How boring.��


    ��Puu, puu, puu!��


    A series of blood-puking sounds came from all around.


    Not that no one could fight, it was that you were too vicious!


    You freaking took people��s lives the moment you came up. Who dared to fight with you?


    Ye Yuan also felt quite helpless about this result.


    He originally wanted to kill some more, but in this kind of tournament, the opponents that could be killed were truly limited.


    Killing match by match was too troublesome. He also just took it as passing the time.


    However, Ye Yuan was still rather regretful for not being able to kill Bloodage.


    He knew that this Bloodage was very strong!


    Before him, he was reputed to be a genius with extremely high hopes of stepping into the Hegemon Realm.


    This kind of praise was not many, even in the blood race with powerhouses plentiful as clouds.


    Finally, Ye Yuan still withdrew from this boring fight.


    Then the Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City decided that the Battle of Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons would be redone!


    Being bored out of his mind, Ye Yuan went to watch the True Sovereign Hundred Sons�� final battle.


    Yang Qing was still as coquettish as ever. He was powerful and still liked to act coquettish, the aggro points maxing out.


    He broke through to half-step Emperor Realm too. His current strength was really like the noonday sun.


    His opponents�� death rate was also extremely high.


    However, Yang Qing was ultimately not Ye Yuan. It was impossible to kill among his peers until they felt terrified.


    After the selection reached the final stage, Yang Qing also encountered his match.


    Reaching this level, even Ye Yuan also had no choice but to admit that the blood race��s hundred sons battle was really strong!


    Especially the top ten hundred sons, their strength was simply strong until it made people��s hair stand on end.


    The blood race was indeed able to give birth to a large batch of powerhouses using this kind of cruel selection method.


    Furthermore, the hundred sons battle took place every ten years. The speed of giving birth to powerhouses was also very fast.


    Ten years were merely a snap of a finger to these Heavenly Stratum powerhouses.


    In the end, Yang Qing also suffered a crushing defeat, only attaining ninth place!


    There were actually still eight people whose strength was higher than Yang Qing��s in True Sovereign Heaven Realm.


    Actually, with the battle achievement of ninth place, Yang Qing could already be sufficiently proud.


    After all, the blood race��s True Sovereign Heavens could be calculated in the hundreds of millions!


    It was just that when he knew about the battle situation on the Saint Sovereign Heavens�� side, he really could not show off.


    F*ck, this is too demoralizing!


    Ye Yuan this fellow is always feeding me sh*t!


    He exerted all of his strength and only took ninth place. This guy was good, directly killing until others were fighting to concede.


    Even the first place Bloodage did not dare to confront Ye Yuan head-on.


    Humph humph!


    One day, this genius is going to surpass you in posturing!


    �� ��


    The curtains fell on the hundred sons battle. The new Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons were also screened through.


    However, Ye Yuan did not enter the ranks of the hundred sons.


    This guy, whatever Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons could no longer highlight his status anymore.


    A dazzling genius slowly rose in the blood


    race.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance caused a huge reverberation in the blood race.


    His performance was too monstrous!


    It was really unassuming when not making a sound but making one��s mark at the first shot!


    The powerhouses who advanced to Hegemon Realm in the recent few thousand years, even the performance of the strongest one back then, could not match up to one-ten-thousandth of Ye Yuan��s too.


    Therefore, the blood race powerhouses were all extremely excited.


    They could already feel that before long, a new Hegemon Realm powerhouse would be born!

 Chapter 2886 - Heavy Grooming!

    Chapter 2886 Heavy Grooming!


    ��This little Bloodazure absolutely has the look of a Hegemon! Big Bloodazure also has very high hopes of reaching Hegemon Realm!�� ��I heard that the clan has already let Little Bloodazure go and comprehend the Chaos Bloodstone! It means that the Blood God Temple is also very optimistic about him!��


    ��Indeed, that boy is too monstrous! After he breaks through to Hegemon Realm, the Absolute Heaven Barrier will surely be breached!��


    �� ��


    Two people having the same name Bloodazure amazed the world with their brilliant feats, shocking the blood race.


    This matter became a legend.


    Hence, everyone called the higher cultivation realm Yang Qing as Big Bloodazure and the lower cultivation realm Ye Yuan as Little Bloodazure.


    The appearance of two great Hegemon candidates made the blood race boil over with excitement.


    Yang Qing was good. The blood race��s powerhouses had already boasted Ye Yuan to the heavens.


    Actually, the Heaven One Alliance was grooming Hegemon Realm powerhouses. How was the blood race not nurturing Hegemon Realm powerhouses too?


    As long as there were sufficient Hegemon Realms, the Absolute Heaven Barrier would no longer be a problem.


    This was the fundamental way.


    As for South Qi Giant City, that level of battle, it was actually merely a petty brawl.


    The blood race would not care about a few people dying.


    But they cared a lot about geniuses with the potential to step into Hegemon Realm.


    Selecting the hundred sons, forming a powerful competitive mechanism in the clan, all these were in order to give birth to even more Hegemon Realms.


    At this time, within the Blood God Temple, it was a flourishing scene too.


    ��Congratulations, Wang Zuo! Congratulations, Wang Zuo! Our blood race has gained another genius!��


    ��This Little Bloodazure��s light simply can��t be concealed at all! With his bloodline strength, stepping into Hegemon Realm is virtually a sure bet!��


    ��This guy is absolutely a character who��ll suppress an era! Our blood race is mighty!��


    ��Such a genius roaring into existence, our blood race isn��t far from unifying all the heavens!��


    In the Blood God Temple, many Emperor Realm powerhouses were extremely excited.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance was absolutely a figure who would suppress an era.


    This kind of character was not frequently seen.


    Even Lord Wang Zuo did not count as suppressing an era too!


    Before Lord Wang Zuo grew up, he still had many competitors.


    Although those competitors were surpassed by him in the end, to say that he was invincible in the world, it was not counted.


    If one had to say, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s final palace master was more apt!


    Ye Yuan was such a genius!


    This kind of figure appearing, it was naturally a sign of victory for the blood race.


    Everyone was naturally happy too.


    ��Huhu, Owlfly, you��ve done pretty well this time! Later, you can go and comprehend the Chaos Bloodstone for ten days too!�� Lord Wang Zuo said with a laugh.


    Owlfly could not help being wildly elated when he heard it!


    Chaos Bloodstone, that was his long cherished


    goal!


    Today, he was finally getting his wish!


    Hopefully, after comprehending the Chaos Bloodstone, he would be able to find the opportunity to break through the Hegemon Realm and soar to the heavens with one bound!


    At that time, wouldn��t the few of you trash still have to grovel at this seat��s feet?


    ��Many thanks, Lord Wang Zuo!�� Owlfly said with wild ecstasy.


    Wang Zuo nodded his head and to Ye Wugui, ��Wugui, Bloodazure��s matter will be left to you! You have to ensure his safety, but don��t let him become a flower in a greenhouse, understood?��


    Ye Wugui nodded his head and said, ��Lord Wang Zuo, rest assured; Wugui understood what should be done!��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s grooming, the Blood God Temple had already made arrangements.


    Allowing him to be and at the same time give him adequate resource guarantee!


    What could be given to him, Lord Wang Zuo absolutely would not be stingy!


    Hence, that was how Ye Yuan obtained the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Bloodstone.


    One had to know, Owlfly this grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse was only given ten days. It could be seen how valuable the chance to comprehend the Chaos Bloodstone was.


    But Ye Yuan, a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, Wang Zuo gave him a month!


    It was just that Wang Zuo never dreamed that the genius he was exerting all his effort to nurture was precisely the Ye Yuan that he hated to the core!


    The current Ye Yuan was extremely delighted!


    The blood race��s hidden stash really broadened people��s horizons!


    All kinds of natural treasures appeared in a dazzling array in the Blood God Temple��s warehouse, making Ye Yuan��s eyes blur.


    Among them, there were many items that were the specialty products of the other two continents. They could not be found on Heaven One Continent at all.


    Ye Yuan had only seen these things in the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook before.


    But there were many here!


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, directly keeping these precious heavenly medicines.


    By the side, the guard��s face was twitching.


    This guy was really not courteous, specifically picking the good stuff to take!


    But, thinking about it, he felt at ease too.


    If they could give birth to a Hegemon Realm that suppressed the contemporary era, what did these natural treasures count for?


    ��Relax. After I break through to Hegemon Realm, I��ll lead the blood race to roam the myriad worlds unobstructed! At that time, you��ll turn your nose up at these lousy things!�� Ye Yuan said to the guard.


    The guard smiled and said, ��Huhu, then this seat is really looking forward to the arrival of that day!��


    The strength of the Treasure Depository Pavilion��s guard was naturally not ordinary.


    This one in front of him was an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse!


    After collecting a whole bunch of heavenly medicines, Ye Yuan took an astronomical figure of heavenly crystals. Then he went to the blood pool.


    The Blood God Temple��s blood pool was much smaller.


    But Ye Yuan could feel that its effect was more than ten times stronger than Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City��s!


    How blessed!


    The moment Ye Yuan entered the blood pool, the hundred sons went completely crazy.


    The energy in their blood pool was currently being plundered by Ye Yuan crazily.


    Their eyes turned green.


    ��F*cking hell, do you still want people to live or not?��


    ��F*ck, the benefits all got seized by you! Are you finished yet?�� ��Your Father narrowly escaped death before obtaining the hundred sons spot, and only obtained the chance to enter the blood pool after going through all kinds of hardships and difficulties! I beg you, save some of us!��


    ����


    Sound of cursing words echoed in the blood pool.


    But Ye Yuan did not care that much at all. He just plundered crazily.


    Nurturing the Dao sword required massive amounts of blood essence source.


    And the Blood God Temple��s blood pool was purer and more refined.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was currently rapidly growing toward peak Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Finally, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was saturated and seriously could not absorb any more.


    The next time, Ye Yuan was going to make preparations to break through to True Sovereign Heaven.


    And the Blood God Temple��s blood pool was already drained by Ye Yuan.


    Everyone��s gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with hatred.


    This guy was simply walking other people��s path, leaving others with nowhere to walk!


    Breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven, this was a huge hurdle, Ye Yuan needed to be prudent too.


    Although he currently had the power of blessing augmenting himself, it did not mean that he could ignore the Dao tribulation.


    Currently, he was using the Blood Imitation Pill to conceal his body��s aura, hiding from the probing of Heavenly Dao.


    But, once he recovered his human identity, it would immediately call down Dao tribulation.


    Furthermore, this time, it would definitely come together with the upper Saint Sovereign Heaven one.


    That power would be no trifling matter!


    Hence, Ye Yuan was currently suppressing his realm and not planning to break through.


    At present, Ye Yuan still had an even more important thing to do, that was to go and experience this Chaos Bloodstone!


    This thing was the blood race��s mother stone, its power was naturally extraordinary.


    Perhaps he could find the secrets of the blood race from it.


    Under Ye Wugui��s lead, Ye Yuan entered a void space.


    Upon entering the space, Ye Yuan seemed to have had his acupoints hit by someone, freezing in stupefaction!

 Chapter 2887 - Taking a Risk!

    Chapter 2887 Taking a Risk!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    A series of rhythmic heartbeats came from the depths of the void.


    Ye Yuan��s heart seemed to be seized by something, making his entire person want to explode.


    ��Puhwark!��


    Finally, Ye Yuan could not hold back, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.


    This power was too terrifying!


    It was even more terrifying than Hegemon Cloudmount��s aura!


    Was this the power of the Chaos Bloodstone?


    Ye Wugui gave Ye Yuan a glance and said, ��Not bad. The power of the Chaos Bloodstone is virtually irresistible below Emperor Realm. Even if you entered this stretch of nothingness, you��d directly exploded too! Your bloodline power is really very strong!��


    Finished saying, he directly brought Ye Yuan and headed for the depths of the void.


    That heartbeat sound became stronger and stronger. Ye Yuan��s heartbeat also became increasingly fiercer, as if it was being controlled.


    Suddenly, amidst the nothingness, a blood-red giant heart entered Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted as if somebody had given him a blow.


    This scene was too shocking.


    That blood-red heart was red until it was seemingly going to drip blood, giving people an awe-inspiring feeling.


    The first feeling Ye Yuan got when he saw it was that it was evil!


    There seemed to be something extremely terrifying inoculating in this heart.


    Ye Yuan did not expect that the Chaos Bloodstone was actually a heart!


    Furthermore, some kind of terrifying existence seemed to be currently inoculating in this heart!


    Ye Yuan had a strong sense of unease in his heart.


    ��Endless blood origin is contained in the Chaos Bloodstone! As long as one can obtain the recognition of the Chaos Bloodstone, advancing to Hegemon Realm will just be a matter of time,�� Ye Wugui said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan gave a look of ��anticipation�� very appropriately but became alert in his heart.


    This blood race was likely holding in store an enormous secret!


    ��Senior, have you heard of this thing before?�� Ye Yuan asked Mi Tian.


    Mi Tian also had a solemn look as he shook his head and said, ��Unheard of! This thing is very dangerous!��


    ��Mn, I have this feeling too! Senior, can we �� destroy it?�� Ye Yuan suddenly proposed a bold idea.


    Mi Tian jumped in fright and hurriedly said, ��Don��t mess around! The thing inside here has already reached high attainment. It��s absolutely not what the current you can destroy! Don��t even think about it. This thing is very sensitive. You��ll die!��


    Ye Yuan was startled too. His level was much worse than Mi Tian. His perception was naturally not as profound as Mi Tian��s.


    Even Mi Tian was so fearful; this thing must be extraordinary.


    He did not expect that coming here this time, he actually discovered the massive secret of the blood race.


    The existence of the Chaos Bloodstone was absolutely top secret among the blood race��s top secrets. Only the blood race��s upper echelons had the qualifications to know.


    Ye Yuan could be let in. That was because his talent was seriously too strong, sufficient to suppress an era!


    ��But do we wait for him to be born just like this?�� Ye Yuan said.


    Mi Tian said, ��This isn��t where his main body lies! The Chaos Bloodstone that you see is merely a clone of his! The blood race spans the 33 Heavens. Most likely, his clones are also numerous! Want to destroy him, one must find his main body!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, this thing was so formidable, and it was actually not even his main body?


    Then how powerful was his main body?


    This �� was too terrifying!


    Mi Tian also stared at the Chaos Bloodstone in the distance and said with a sigh, ��No wonder the blood race couldn��t be eradicated from start to end. With this thing around, the blood race can��t be exterminated! And the blood race is merely his tool, that��s all! The blood race being addicted to blood, continuously sucking the blood of myriad races and strengthening their population, it��s actually strengthening the Chaos Bloodstone! One day in the future, when he breaks out of the Chaos Bloodstone, it will probably be the catastrophe of the 33 Heavens!��


    Mi Tian had participated in the battle to exterminate the blood race too. At that time, he thought that the blood race was wiped out.


    But who knew that several hundred thousand years later, the blood race bounced back.


    In these several hundred years, the blood race had already strengthened up anew.


    In just a mere Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, there were already dozens of Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    ��All right. You use your blood essence and offer up as a sacrifice to the Chaos Bloodstone first. Then you��ll be able to establish a trace of connection with it and comprehend the origin of blood! Of course, how much you can comprehend, that will depend on your good fortune,�� Ye Wugui said.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, a crazy idea suddenly arising in his heart.


    Mi Tian sensed his idea right away!


    ��Boy, you��re crazy! You��re courting death!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Then if he is born, do you think that the Hegemon Realms across the heavens are his match?��


    W


    Mi Tian was taken aback, immediately falling silent.


    This was just a measly little clone, and Mi Tian already felt a great terror.


    Then just how strong was his main body?


    Hegemon Realms had strong and weak ones.


    Powerful Hegemon Realms, their strength was unimaginable.


    But, to match up against this Chaos Bloodstone, it was likely not sufficient too.


    ��Hence, once he is born, I��m afraid that even the thing that the Labyrinth Divine Palace couldn��t accomplish would be achieved by the blood race! Rather than that, it��s better to take a risk once! Such an opportunity probably won��t come a second time! After the blood race comes to realize the truth that I��m a fake, it will be even harder than ascending to heaven to want to sneak in here again!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Mi Tian said in a solemn voice, ��But, once discovered by him, you��ll be dead for sure!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��He didn��t discover that I��m a human, so he��s not omnipotent! I have faith in my Dao!��


    Ye Yuan��s Dao was his Dao sword.


    The method that he spoke of was to split off a wisp of Dao sword and hide it in the blood essence, letting the Chaos Bloodstone absorb it.


    This was equivalent to planting a seed in the Chaos Bloodstone.


    It was naturally impossible for the current Dao sword to destroy the Chaos Bloodstone.


    But Ye Yuan was confident that there would be a chance in the future!


    After his strength grew, his Dao sword would become stronger too.


    At the critical moment, if Ye Yuan detonated the Dao sword and destroyed this clone in one stroke, even the main body would suffer serious damage too!


    But once this Dao sword could not hide from the Chaos Bloodstone��s eyes and ears, Ye Yuan would die right away!


    Ye Yuan was indeed a prodigy, but he was after all only Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    It was indeed too risky to do so.


    ��Mn? What are you hesitating for?�� Ye Wugui��s brows could not help furrowing when he saw that Ye Yuan did not move for a long time.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, ��I��m not hesitating. It��s just that seeing the mother stone for the first time, my heart couldn��t calm down for a long time.��


    Ye Wugui came to understand and said with a smile, ��That��s of course! Our blood race is in perfect harmony with the mother stone. The first time you see it, it��s like returning to your mother��s womb. Having this shock is also ought to be.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, directly ��forcing out�� a drop of blood essence, flying towards the Chaos Bloodstone.


    This blood essence was naturally not Ye Yuan��s.


    He only refined the Blood Imitation Pill. He still had a human��s blood in essence.


    If he sent it over, he would definitely be exposed.


    However, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword suppressed many bloodkins�� blood essence.


    Many of their blood essences were extremely powerful.


    Ye Yuan could naturally hide from Ye Wugui by splitting off a drop.


    The blood essence got closer and closer to the Chaos Bloodstone, Ye Yuan��s heart rate was also accelerating.

 Chapter 2888 - Swindling!

    Chapter 2888 Swindling!


    Swoosh!


    The blood essence flashed and disappeared, and Ye Yuan��s heart also tensed up along with it.


    However, on the surface, Ye Yuan did not have any fluctuations.


    There was still a Hegemon Realm beside him!


    A wisp of his Dao sword was stored in the blood essence.


    Once the blood essence entered the Chaos Bloodstone, Ye Yuan felt as if his Dao sword had entered a terrifying forcefield.


    From all directions, a monstrously terrifying pressure crushed toward him.


    The Chaos Bloodstone was too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, his entire being seemingly being stared at by some kind of great terror.


    An inexplicable power swept through his body without restraint.


    Ye Yuan felt as if every hair on his body was standing on end.


    This kind of feeling virtually suffocated him.


    He knew that this was the Chaos Bloodstone observing him!


    He did not dare to make the slightest movement. His entire person seemingly turned to stone.


    In front of the Chaos Bloodstone, Ye Yuan was just like an invisible man, without the slightest secrets to speak of.


    One breath!


    Two breaths!


    Three breaths!


    That inexplicable power finally receded like tidewater.


    Three short breaths of time, but Ye Yuan felt like as long as a century had passed.


    In front of this level of power, all struggle was futile.


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan tasted sweetness in his throat, and he could not bear this enormous pressure, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood.


    The current Ye Yuan, his entire body seemed to have been hauled out of the water, feeling a transcendence of having died once.


    He knew that he had finally cleared this hurdle!


    He had deceived the Chaos Bloodstone!


    ��You a-actually really deceived it!�� There was also intense shock in Mi Tian��s eyes.


    In front of absolute strength, all schemes and intrigues were pointless.


    But Ye Yuan��s scheme succeeded!


    Too inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Although this damn thing is formidable, it��s still sleeping! Many things, he��s judging by relying on instinct! If he really wakes up, it will really be impossible to deceive him!��


    Mi Tian had a speechless look as he said in shock, ��How did you do it?��


    Ye Yuan knew what he was asking.


    That drop of blood essence was not Ye Yuan��s!


    Since it was not Ye Yuan��s, then the aura would naturally be different.


    The Chaos Bloodstone was the blood race��s mother stone. How could it possibly deceive his probing? But Ye Yuan did it!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Very simple. That drop of blood essence has already been altered by me! The aura on it is completely my Dao sword��s aura! And every drop of blood in my body contains the aura of the Dao sword! That damn thing judges based on aura. He��s naturally unable to differentiate.�� Mi Tian had a dumbfounded look. The blood race��s blood essence was actually altered?


    However, to Ye Yuan, simulating all the blood essence in his body into the aura of that drop of blood essence, this was something as hard as ascending to heaven.


    But, if it was just altering that drop of blood essence, it was not impossible.


    In reality, this was just one of Ye Yuan��s research into the blood race��s blood essence.


    Ye Yuan was very proficient in refined operations.


    Therefore, his control over Dao had long already become subtle and exquisite. He used the power of the Dao sword and completely wiped away the aura of the blood essence��s master and imprinted the aura of the Dao sword on it.


    This way, the blood essence still maintained the characteristics of the blood race, but judging from the aura, it was already exactly the same as Ye Yuan.


    The reason why he did such an experiment was naturally in order to deal with an unexpected probing too.


    Entering the blood race��s territory, he might not be able to avoid running into all kinds of inspections.


    This kind of means would be able to smoke his way through.


    Either way, he had a lot of blood essence on hand and could convert them casually.


    The blood race naturally did not expect that there was actually someone who could preserve the blood race��s blood essence and carry out research.


    The Chaos Bloodstone could intuitively sense that drop of blood essence that fused into the Chaos Bloodstone.


    But, to Ye Yuan��s main body, he could only feel it through aura.


    The aura was the same, so it naturally passed!


    Mi Tian was dumbfounded when he heard it. There was still such an approach?


    The heavenly alchemists were really amazing!


    He could even think of this kind of experiment?


    This was really a terrifying profession!


    ��C-Consider yourself ruthless! But, kid, you really did something remarkable! Come one day, when your strength becomes powerful and detonates the Chaos Bloodstone��s Dao sword, that damn thing will probably cry!�� Mi Tian said with enthusiasm.


    This wisp of Dao sword clone would lie dormant in the Chaos Bloodstone.


    One day, when the power of the Dao sword reached a certain level, it would give this Chaos Bloodstone a deadly blow!


    Thump!


    Suddenly, the Chaos Bloodstone��s beating became hastened.


    A blood-colored streak flew straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Wugui��s gaze turned intent, his gaze having indescribable shock!


    ��This �� This ����


    Ye Yuan also jumped in fright. What was this damn thing trying to do?


    ��Kid, this is blood origin. This is good stuff, hurry up and accept it! That damn thing has acknowledged you!�� Mi Tian urged.


    Ye Yuan was shocked inwardly, allowing that wisp of blood light to smash into his body without avoiding it.


    But, the moment this trace of origin entered his body, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword immediately operated, completely suppressing it.


    This was the Chaos Bloodstone��s reward. It was naturally impossible to be too powerful. It was just for the sake of helping Ye Yuan comprehend origin. That was all.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would be directly blown up by the origin power.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword suppressed it easily.


    By the side, Ye Wugui was already completely stunned.


    The Chaos Bloodstone actually rewarded Ye Yuan with blood origin?


    This �� This was too much!


    Even he, this Hegemon Realm, never got rewarded with blood origin!


    This stretch of nothingness was teeming with the power of origin.


    The beating of the Chaos Bloodstone was a manifestation of origin power in the first place.


    Comprehending origin here would yield twice the results with half the effort.


    But, no matter how one comprehended origin, it was also not as good as being rewarded blood origin!


    This blood origin was the foundation of the Chaos Bloodstone!


    Unless it was unavoidable, even if it was Lord Wang Zuo, it would be impossible to get any too.


    Now, it was actually rewarded to a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Genius!


    A peerless genius!


    A genius who shocked the world!


    My blood race would surely rise up across the heavens!


    33 Heavens, every heaven and myriad worlds, tremble!


    This boy will let you all understand what is called despair!


    Ye Wugui shouted in his heart.


    This was the voice currently in his heart. Being bestowed the origin of blood at Saint Sovereign Heaven Realm, this sort of thing was simply unheard of!


    ��Bloodazure, this is the mother stone��s reward to you! It looks like he approves greatly of your bloodline too! With this trace of blood origin, it��s enough for you to be invincible among your peers! In the future, stepping into Hegemon Realm is virtually a certainty! In fact, you might be the myriad worlds�� number one Hegemon in the future! You have to cherish it well!�� Ye Wugui said excitedly.


    ��The myriad worlds�� number one Hegemon!��


    Ye Yuan had a ��look of intoxication�� too and said with lofty sentiments, ��City Lord, rest assured. Bloodazure definitely won��t let down the clan��s and Mother Stone��s trust! i��ll lead the blood race and trample Heaven One Continent flat, sweeping across the heavens and myriad worlds!��

 Chapter 2889 - Hegemon Falls!

    Chapter 2889 Hegemon Falls!


    Obtaining the origin of blood, Ye Yuan started his ��closed-seclusion�� life.


    But at this time, Absolute Heaven Barrier had plunged into a life-and-death great battle again.


    In order to avenge the enmity, the blood race deployed 300 thousand troops on South Qi Giant City, launching a fierce bombardment on South Qi Giant City.


    This time, it was Lord Wang Zuo who personally ordered it!


    These 300 thousand bloodkins were all elite troops transferred over from the rear. Their combat power was extremely intrepid.


    Bloodpromise returned anew, being in control of this 300 thousand strong army!


    Both sides unleashed an unprecedented life-and-death great battle at South Qi Giant City.


    South Qi Giant City transformed into a brutal battlefield once again.


    Fortunately, there was the Lesser Origin Restoration Art. By relying on the power of the grand array, South Qi Giant City still barely managed to resist the frenzied assault of the blood race under the huge disadvantage in military strength.


    And right at this time, a drastic change plunged the Heaven One Alliance into an extremely dangerous situation!


    On this day, South Qi Giant City and the blood race army were currently fighting fiercely.


    Feng Xiaotian and Bloodpromise fought until heaven and earth dimmed, the void trembling


    ��Feng Xiaotian, in today��s battle, either you die or I perish.�� Bloodpromise was really risking his life this time.


    Not only him, but all of the blood race powerhouses were also attacking the city at the risk of their lives this time, completely disregarding casualties.


    In the past battles, after the bloodkins were seriously injured, they would retreat at once. Therefore, their casualty rate was actually not high.


    But this time, each one of them was only willing to stop after fighting all the way until they were obliterated.


    Under this kind of circumstance, South Qi Giant City was under enormous pressure.


    Furthermore, the blood race had an army of 300 thousand. Although only 100 thousand people could enter the passageway, they could replenish troops continuously without ceasing


    But on Heaven One��s side, the speed of replenishing troops was much slower.


    After the last battle, Heaven One Alliance transferred another several tens of thousands of people over to South Qi Giant City.


    At this time, their military strength also reached as high as 80 thousand.


    But, under the blood race��s frenzied onslaught, the casualties on South Qi Giant City��s side were enormous.


    After half a month of sustained frenziedly fighting, South Qi Giant City was only left with 30 thousand troops!


    For this, the blood race��s 100 thousand strong army was completely obliterated!


    This casualty had never appeared in the blood race before!


    Feng Xiaotian��s gaze was cold as he said in a solemn voice, ��Even if we fight down to the very last man, you all can forget about taking half a step into South Qi Giant City too!��


    Boom!


    Right at this time, a huge noise came from above the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    A mighty aura was currently dying swiftly!


    Feng Xiaotian��s expression changed wildly, his eyes full of shock.


    Above the Absolute Heaven Barrier, someone �� died!


    That was the aura of Hegemon Edgeless!


    Hegemon Edgeless �� fell?


    For these few thousand years, Heaven One Alliance��s Hegemon Realms had never died before.


    But this time, somebody finally fell!


    This death would trigger a series of chain reactions.


    The consequence was too terrifying!


    ��Hahaha �� Hegemon Bloodsky succeeded! Once Edgeless that damn thing dies, the Absolute Heaven Barrier will become weak, and South Qi��s passageway will open up! Feng Xiaotian, today will be your hour of doom!��


    Bloodpromise had clearly felt it too. He let out a wild laugh, being pleased to the extreme.


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier was jointly set up by the Hegemons. Once one person died, the effects would be diminished.


    South Qi Giant City was the weakest place, so the passageway here would surely have a large opening be opened up!


    More bloodkins would enter the passageway!


    Conspiracy!


    A huge conspiracy!


    The blood race��s target this time was not South Qi Giant City at all, they were aiming for Hegemon Edgeless!


    But, once Hegemon Edgeless died, South Qi Giant City would be in danger too!


    ��Children, all enter the passageway and kill for me!��


    Bloodpromise��s voice shook the sky. The remaining 200 thousand bloodkin army rushed into the passageway frenziedly!


    Feng Xiaotian��s mind shook wildly!


    An army of 200 thousand, this force was too terrifying!


    South Qi Giant City only had 30 thousand people remaining now. It was simply impossible to block these 200 thousand troops!


    What on earth happened over at the Absolute Heaven Barrier?


    But at this time, he could not help but be shocked too.


    His gaze turned intent, and he said loudly, ��Brothers, Hegemon Edgeless has fallen. We already have no path of retreat! Once South Qi Giant City is breached, the hundreds of millions of living things behind us will become meals in the bellies of the blood race! We cannot fall!��


    ��I believe that the Hegemons already know about the unexpected turn of events here! This battle will be the turning point of Heaven One��s war with the blood race! Starting from today, Heaven One will surely swarm out in full force and engage in the final decisive battle with the blood race! But, if South Qi Giant City is lost, we won��t even have the chance for a final battle anymore! Brothers, this city lord knows that you all aren��t afraid of death! But we can��t die! Brothers, please join me and defend South Qi to the death!��


    ��One month! Just one month��s time! Our hope will be rekindled!��


    Each and every one of the powerhouses left in the city had incomparably solemn gazes.


    They knew that the true moment of life and death had arrived!


    This battle was even more perilous and even fiercer than the previous one!


    They all practically had little hope of survival anymore, including Feng Xiaotian!


    But they proceeded without hesitation!


    Nobody answered Feng Xiaotian. At this moment, the 30 thousand strong army was silent.


    There were no grandiose words or valiantness, but they had incomparably firm eyes.


    Seeing their looks, Feng Xiaotian was very gratified.


    ��Kill!��


    Under Feng Xiaotian��s word of command, the army of 30 thousand charged out crazily!


    �� ��


    20 days later!


    Below the city, corpses scattered everywhere!


    South Qi Giant City��s 30 thousand troops actually miraculously blocked the blood race��s army of 200 thousand for as long as 20 days!


    Under desperate circumstances, the Heaven One army exhibited an astonishing will. They did not seek death!


    They were holding on firmly for one last month!


    Under this kind of steel will, they defeated the blood race army��s onslaught time and again.


    However, the battle was extremely tragic too.


    At this time, the army of 30 thousand was only left with half. Furthermore, everyone was injured.


    The city protecting grand array was already severely damaged too!


    The heavenly formation masters guarding the array formation were practically wiped out!


    Even City Lord Feng Xiaotian was seriously injured too.


    The powerhouses around him got fewer and fewer. In each battle, he would have to face more than five origin powerhouses!


    However, although they had created a miracle, South Qi Giant City was only left with one last breath before completely falling into the enemy��s hands.


    They did not know how many more assaults from the blood race they could still hold back.


    But, thinking about it, they probably could not hold out for a month!


    ce


    At Bloodpromise camp, Bloodpromise was scolded with a torrent of abuse. ��Are you a pig? With 200 thousand blood race elites, countless powerhouses, you actually couldn��t take down the South Qi Giant City that��s guarded by 30 thousand people! This seat and Hegemon Bloodsky have virtually fallen before exchanging for such a battle opportunity! If any more mishaps happen again, carry your head to see me!��


    Hegemon You Jin was bellowing madly at Bloodpromise.


    The current Hegemon You Jin had a very weak aura. Clearly, he had suffered serious wounds.


    Killing a Hegemon in the Absolute Heaven Barrier, it would not be without paying a price.


    Except, he did not think that the battle opportunity that he had won by paying the price of risking death, Bloodpromise actually could not take it down!


    This drove people too freaking crazy!


    Bloodpromise��s face already turned into the color of pig liver.


    He also did not expect that 200 thousand troops actually could not even take down South Qi Giant City.


    One had to know, 100 thousand people in the past would have already killed until South Qi Giant City would be close to crumbling!


    Of course, the city protecting grand array was a very important aspect.


    But Bloodpromise never expected that the Heaven One army, which Feng Xiaotian led, actually erupted with such a terrifying will at the moment of desperation!


    Each time, they looked like they were about to succeed.


    But in the end, it was still one step short of success!


    Recently, he had really been down on his luck, suffering crushing defeats at South Qi Giant City repeatedly.


    ��Lord You Jin, rest assured. Give me another five days! Within five days, I��ll definitely take down South Qi Giant City!�� Bloodpromise said.


    You Jin��s expression was cold as he said, ��This is what you said!��

 Chapter 2890 - Blood Divine Son!

    Chapter 2890 Blood Divine Son!


    These few days, Ye Yuan had been in the void all this time, comprehending the origin of blood.


    Bloodline was a very miraculous thing. It was born from Heavenly Dao and possessed great fortune, and could create everything in heaven and earth.


    This origin of blood was profound and complicated to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan��s present realm was too low and was unable to pry into the essence at all.


    However, Ye Yuan��s bloodline talent was extremely strong too. But this blood origin made him understand a little.


    Currently, Ye Yuan��s realm had long already reached the limit of Saint Sovereign Heaven, and he could break through to True Sovereign Heaven at any time.


    Actually, after accepting the origin of blood, Ye Yuan��s realm had already reached the brink of shattering


    However, it was suppressed by him.


    But True Sovereign Heaven was different from upper Saint Sovereign Heaven. As long as he broke through, the aura of the Dao sword would no longer be able to be concealed, and the Dao tribulation would descend immediately.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan was currently suppressing his realm desperately.


    His strength had long already suppressed lower True Sovereign Heaven. Breaking through was effortless to him.


    Ye Yuan did not know how terrifying this Dao tribulation would be once he broke through.


    All in all, it would be very terrifying!


    As soon as he exited seclusion, Ye Yuan discovered that something was wrong.


    The great victory that came from the front-lines spread in the entire Blood God Temple with fervor. Even if he did not want to know, he could not do it either.


    ��It��s really an unprecedented great victory this time! Killing a Hegemon Realm, the Absolute Heaven Barrier is already in a precarious situation!��


    ��Our blood race��s Hegemon Realms are getting more and more, but Heaven One��s Hegemon Realms are getting fewer and fewer. When one aspect was weaker, the others would be stronger. The day when we unify Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven isn��t far anymore!��


    ��Hegemon Bloodsky is amazing too! The last time, when he received a backlash due to the spatial passageway, after he consumed Hegemon blood and went into closed-seclusion, his strength grew significantly instead! This time, he used the spatial confinement technique and ambushed Hegemon Edgeless, completely sealing him off! He really rendered a great contribution!��


    ��However, South Qi Giant City��s battle doesn��t seem to be going too smooth! Lord Bloodpromise has already attacked wildly for close to 20 days and actually still couldn��t take it down!��


    Hearing these discussions, Ye Yuan��s heart sunk to the bottom of the valley.


    Absolute Heaven Barrier actually lost a Hegemon!


    This was simply a bolt out of the blue to Heaven One.


    Furthermore, South Qi Giant City was actually currently suffering a frenzied assault now.


    An army of 300 thousand besieging South Qi Giant City actually still had not conquered it after attacking for 20 days!


    Feng Xiaotian was amazing! Hearing the news, Ye Yuan no longer had the mind to continue staying in the blood race anymore too.


    He was just about to go find Yang Qing, but Yang Qing was already one step ahead of him.


    These few days, his heart was burning with anxiety, waiting for Ye Yuan to leave seclusion all this while.


    ��No need to say anymore. We��ll go back immediately!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��This �� How do we go back?�� Yang Qing asked with uncertainty.


    ��Of course, it��s swaggering back!�� Finished saying that, Ye Yuan immediately left.


    Ye Yuan went to find Ye Wugui right away. The other party��s mood currently was clearly pretty good too.


    A monster like Ye Yuan appearing in the clan, the front-lines also achieved a great victory.


    The present blood race was really like the noonday sun.


    ��Bloodazure, you came just in time. This seat is looking for you for something!�� Ye Wugui said very warmly.


    Although he was a Hegemon, he also did not dare to treat Ye Yuan with too much impropriety now.


    An existence that the mother stone split off a trace of origin for, what kind of level he could reach in the future was really hard to say. ��Mn? City Lord Your Excellency is finding me for something?�� Ye Yuan asked uncertainly.


    Ye Wugui said with a smile, ��It��s naturally a wonderfully joyous thing! Lord Wang Zuo has already decided to confer you as ��Blood Divine Son.�� Within the next few days, he��ll announce to the entire blood race and conduct the conferment grand ceremony! Today, Absolute Heaven Barrier��s battle has already made a major breakthrough! My blood race is really blessed with two joyous events at the same time!��


    ��Blood Divine Son��; this identity was extraordinary.


    The blood race had Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, True Sovereign Hundred Sons, and also the Emperor Sakra Ten Heavens!


    But there was not a Blood Divine Son yet!


    Who was the Blood Divine Son?


    That was the entire blood race��s future!


    Only a powerful existence who was acknowledged by the entire clan had the qualifications to be conferred as Blood Divine Son!


    These few thousand years, the blood race had given birth to countless geniuses.


    But, no one had been conferred as Blood Divine Son!


    At present, Ye Yuan, a human, actually did it!


    Becoming the Blood Divine Son, Ye Yuan��s status in the blood race shall become extremely transcendent!


    He would be the successor of Wang Zuo!


    Ye Yuan could not help being taken back when he heard that. But, thinking about it, he felt at ease too.


    He obtained the mother stone��s reward. This held great significance.


    His Dao sword was a heaven-defying object.


    When the mother stone felt the aura of the Dao sword, it showed a seldom-seen acknowledgment of him.


    This time, he really earned big!


    But, Ye Yuan did not show the expected joy, shaking his head and saying, ��Bloodazure has yet to make the smallest contribution. I can��t take on the title of ��Blood Divine Son�� yet for the time being!��


    Ye Wugui said in surprise, ��Oh? What �� do you mean by this?��


    Ye Yuan said solemnly, ��South Qi Giant City has been fighting fiercely without rest. It��s precisely the time to build my career! Since Bloodazure wants to become Blood Divine Son, then how can breaking the Absolute Heaven Barrier, this kind of astonishing exploit, do without me?��


    Ye Wugui frowned and said, ��But �� South Qi Giant City is very dangerous! It��s probably not appropriate for you to go!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��City Lord Your Excellency, if I died at South Qi Giant City, then am I still fit to become the Blood Divine Son? Furthermore, does my blood race have anyone who fears battle?��


    Ye Wugui��s pupils constricted, and he said with a nod, ��Okay, what you said is right! I��ll go and report to Lord Wang Zuo immediately and request him to make a final decision!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Since I��m going, then it naturally can��t be me going alone! Presently, the True Sovereign Hundred Sons and Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons have just been chosen. They enjoy numerous privileges from the clan and should naturally serve the blood race too! City Lord Your Excellency, please let Ye Yuan lead them and render a contribution without equal!��


    ����


    The next day, Ye Yuan brought the True Sovereign Hundred Sons and Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons and left Blood God Temple, returning to Heaven One Continent.


    At the same time, the Blood God Temple announced to the world, conferring Bloodazure as the Blood Divine Son!


    After Bloodazure broke through the Absolute Heaven Barrier and achieved a contribution without equal, he would undergo the conferment grand ceremony!


    The moment this matter emerged, the entire blood race boiled over with excitement!


    The impact of this matter was too great!


    Who was the previous Blood Divine Son?


    It was none other than precisely Lord Wang Zuo!


    Furthermore, since Lord Wang Zuo ascended to the throne, there had been no more Blood Divine Son.


    Today, another Blood Divine Son actually appeared!


    However, no one questioned it! The might that Ye Yuan displayed during the hundred sons battle was suffocating.


    If even this kind of monster could not be conferred as the Blood Divine Son, who else was worthy? ��Well-deserving of being Lord Blood Divine Son! Before carrying out the conferment grand ceremony, he rushed to the most dangerous South Qi Giant City!��


    ��The blood race is mighty! Lord Blood Divine Son coming into being, our blood race shall unify all the heavens!��


    ��Lord Blood Divine Son shall return triumphantly and unify Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    �� ��


    When they set off, all eyes were gathered.


    The True Sovereign Hundred Sons and Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons all felt an upsurge of emotion!


    Although they were just a mere 201 people, each of them was worth a hundred!


    These 200 people were sufficient to match up to an army of tens of thousands!


    Moreover, there was still Ye Yuan this freak!


    He had once slaughtered tens of thousands of those in the same rank with his power alone!


    At this time, everyone of the blood race believed that this team shall be the final straw to overwhelm South Qi Giant City!

 Chapter 2891 - Making a Show of Force!

    Chapter 2891 Making a Show of Force!


    Outside of Absolute Heaven, there were cheers.


    Within Absolute Heaven, dark clouds were dense.


    The blood race conferred the Blood Divine Son, this kind of major event naturally transmitted into the Absolute Heaven Barrier too.


    This undoubtedly piled even more troubles on the Heaven One Alliance, which was facing an internal revolt and a foreign invasion.


    ��Everyone, Fellow Daoist Edgeless�� demise dealt too great of a blow to us! Absolute Heaven Barrier��s gap will enlarge further! Originally, this seat wanted to let all the sects�� elites cultivate with peace of mind in the rear, hoping that one or two Hegemon Realms could be produced. But now �� it probably can��t be done anymore!��


    In the Absolute Heaven Barrier, Divine Lord��s voice was very heavy.


    The chain reaction triggered by Edgeless��s demise was seriously too big.


    His death affected not just South Qi Giant City but the entire Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Losing a Hegemon Realm force, the power of the Absolute Heaven Barrier was naturally greatly reduced too.


    And the various major cities�� passageways would also expand. There would be more bloodkins entering them.


    This way, the crisis that they would face would be all-around.


    Each city needed even more powerhouses to be garrisoned before they could block the blood race��s offensive.


    But, after so many years, Heaven One��s losses were seriously too heavy.


    In these 20 over days, Heaven One Alliance was already forcibly drafting itinerant cultivators to enter the various major cities.


    ��This bunch of blood race bastards is unbelievably insidious! Humph! Scared of what? At most, just fight it out! If they really press Your Father into a corner, even if I die, a few others from the blood race will be dragged down too!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said with a cold snort.


    ��Old Man Cloudmount, stop bullsh*tting here! The urgent matter on hand is what to do about South Qi there?�� Hegemon Blacksun said.


    ��What else can we do? These are extraordinary times. The various sects�� disciples are mostly training outside. Rounding up the disciples also needs time! There are still ten days! As long as they can last ten days, it will naturally be fine. If they can��t last �� then just hope for the best!�� Hegemon Cloudmount��s face had a rarely seen look of solemnness.


    Clearly, the situation at present was already bad until it could not be worse.


    ��This time, I��m afraid that �� it��s very difficult! The blood race has chosen a new Blood Divine Son. This is a powerhouse that��s sufficient to suppress an era! He brought the new Saint Sovereign and True Sovereign Hundred Sons and has already arrived at Giant Net City! These 200 people are enough to hold off an army!�� Divine Lord��s words revealed some helplessness.


    The rest also fell silent.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s expression stirred, and he suddenly said, ��I say, you guys, would Ye Yuan that brat be among these Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons or not? If there��s him being an inside man, maybe we have a glimmer of hope?��


    Hegemon Blacksun smiled disdainfully and said, ��Cloudmount, is your head spoiled? Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons are born in the Blood God Temple. How many tricks the blood race have, even you and I don��t know! Can he, a mere Saint Sovereign Heaven, really deceive all the Hegemons? If he really went to take part in the hundred sons battle, he��d probably be long dead at this time!��


    The moment Cloudmount heard, he could not help sighing slightly too.


    Although Ye Yuan��s Blood Imitation Pill was incredible, the blood race��s various means were very strange. No one could guarantee that there were some means to be able to find out.


    ��Then we can only depend on Feng Xiaotian himself this time!�� Divine Lord said helplessly.


    ����


    ��Kneel down!��


    ��Blood Divine Son, Your Highness ����


    ��This liege is making you kneel, can��t understand?��


    Bloodsword knelt down with a look of unwillingness.


    At this time, all eyes were watching!


    City Lord Su Mu led everyone to welcome Ye Yuan��s party. The entire city was paying close attention.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s status had become different.


    Comparable to that of a Hegemon Realm!


    Hence, the welcoming standards naturally could not be lowered.


    But, they never expected that upon meeting, Ye Yuan dealt an opening gambit, directly making Bloodsword kneel.


    Bloodsword was an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse, Giant Net City��s deputy city lord!


    This kind of powerhouse, his status was not low even in the Blood God Temple.


    Now, he actually knelt down in front of the entire city!


    In reality, Su Mu and Bloodsword had been paying attention to the hundred sons battle all this while.


    Especially Bloodsword, he had been waiting for Ye Yuan to make a spectacle of himself all along.


    Wasn��t he awesome?


    One had got to know that there were too many amazing people in the entire blood race!


    But, the more he paid attention to it, the more slapped in the face he felt.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan had not even exerted half of his strength in Giant Net City!


    Going to Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City, Ye Yuan similarly swept all away!


    In the end, he even turned the Battle of Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons into a joke, everyone fighting to concede defeat!


    At that time, he felt like his chest was going to burst.


    What the hell! Was there still justice or not?


    However, very soon, a piece of news that made him shudder came over.


    Ye Yuan actually became the Blood Divine Son!


    Even if he was Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons number one, sweeping away all Saint Sovereign Heavens, Bloodsword also would not dread Ye Yuan at all.


    But Blood Divine Son was completely different!


    This was the next king!


    Obtaining this news, Bloodsword found it difficult to stomach blood and sleep easily at night.


    Sure enough, the moment they met today, Ye Yuan immediately enacted revenge!


    Ye Yuan looked at Bloodsword and said with a cold smile, ��You feel that you��re Emperor Sakra Heaven, so it��s very impressive, right?��


    Bloodsword broke out in cold sweat and said, ��I-I dare not!��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��This liege told you back then, Emperor Sakra Heaven is nothing in my eyes! Back then, you shrugged it off. But you didn��t expect that retribution would come so quickly, right?��


    Bloodsword hurriedly said, ��I-I dare not!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes were like lightning, and he said with a cold snort, ��My blood race warriors only have the right to survive by continuously improving in battles! Being killed, they can only blame themselves for being less skilled than others! Killed a descendant of yours and you want to take revenge on this liege? So, if this liege wants to kill you now, is it also as simple as killing an


    ant?��


    Bloodsword sweated heavily and was practically crying. ��Blood Divine Son Your Highness, spare my life!��


    By the side, Bloodpromise could not continue watching anymore and could only step forward to urge him. He said, ��Blood Divine Son Your Highness, Bloodsword was also overly anxious about his beloved son and didn��t have the intention to offend Your Highness! Please ����


    ��Shut up for this liege! You fool, led an army of 300 thousand elites and actually couldn��t even take down a measly little South Qi Giant City, and you actually still have the face to speak up for him? This liege hasn��t settled scores with you yet!�� Ye Yuan��s gaze turned cold, and he scolded angrily.


    The current Ye Yuan was really awe-inspiring, killing gods if gods blocked!


    By the side, Yang Qing was envious to the extreme.


    You, a human, freaking ran to the blood race to make such a show of force. It is really unbelievably satisfying!


    This title of Blood Divine Son was really too useful!


    Look at these Emperor Sakra Heavens; which of them were not major powers level powerhouses?


    But they were like grandsons in front of Ye Yuan, unable to even retort.


    Awesome!


    Satisfying!


    Sure enough, Bloodpromise��s expression became as uncomfortable like he was constipated, forcefully pushing back down the words at the back.


    Ye Yuan did not care about their feelings. He was about to reveal his identity soon.


    Not using authority when it was valid, it would become invalid after expiration!


    At this time, he naturally had to posture to the extreme!


    ��Why? Reprimanding you and you��re unreconciled to it? In another few days, when Heaven One that side replenishes the troops, can you take down South Qi Giant City if I give you another 300 thousand?�� Ye Yuan stared intently at Bloodpromise, making the latter feel a chill run down his spine.


    He really did not have the confidence when it came to this!


    Seeing Ye Yuan fly off the handle, he could only retreat embarrassedly. ��Hegemon You Jin, Bloodsword had once attempted to harm this liege. This liege is going to kill him now. You don��t have objections, right?�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly as he looked toward Hegemon You Jin, who was not far away.

 Chapter 2892 - Deciding with a Word!

    Chapter 2892 Deciding with a Word!


    You Jin was slightly shocked in his heart!


    Everyone said that this new Blood Divine Son killed people without batting an eyelid. Upon meeting today, it was indeed the case!


    Bloodsword was Emperor Sakra Heaven. You��re killing him as you please?


    Making drastic changes to an organization upon taking charge was the first order of business to kill an Emperor Sakra Heaven?


    Impressive!


    ��This �� Bloodsword is an Emperor Sakra Heaven after all ����


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��His Hegemon road has basically been cut off already! If he��s killed, he��s killed. What does it matter? Could it be that our blood race is short of an Emperor Sakra Heaven?��


    While that might be the case, but �� Emperor Sakra Heaven was Emperor Sakra Heaven after all!


    It was also not that easy for the blood race to groom an Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    But Ye Yuan��s domineeringness still made Hegemon You Jin somewhat dissatisfied.


    No matter what, he was a Hegemon too!


    Could you not save some face for me?


    By the side, Bloodsword��s complexion was long already ashen as he complained tearfully, ��Your Highness, I �� I was wrong! I beg you, spare my lowly life! The great battle is about to start right away, it will also be a good thing for you to let me go kill a few Heaven One powerhouses!��


    Kill your head!


    Your Father wants to kill you so that fewer people will die at your hands!


    ��No need. Having you or missing you is inconsequential. It��s been more than 20 days. You all have not taken South Qi Giant City either. What do I want you for? Bloodpromise, he��s your subordinate. You do it,�� Ye Yuan said to Bloodpromise with a nonchalant look.


    Actually, Ye Yuan wanted to kill Bloodpromise more. This guy was the real butcher.


    The Heaven one powerhouses that died at his hands were beyond count.


    One should not look at how Bloodpromise suffered losses at Feng Xiaotian��s hands repeatedly. He was a genuine origin powerhouse!


    In terms of strength, he was not the slightest bit weaker than those Extreme Medicine Sect pavilion elders.


    Otherwise, having lost an army of 100 thousand the last time, it was impossible for the blood race to let him take charge of this army again.


    It could be seen that the blood race quite acknowledged his strength as well.


    Bloodpromise used an affirming gaze and looked toward Hegemon You Jin.


    The latter nodded slightly, which was counted as approving it.


    Hegemon You Jin was helpless too!


    The new Blood Divine Son was a popular man. If he could not even take care of this first order of business, the Blood Divine Son would not spare him too.


    At that time, probably even Lord Wang Zuo would be looking for trouble.


    Therefore, he could only sacrifice Bloodsword.


    Seeing this scene, Bloodsword��s complexion was ashen, knowing that he was dead for sure.


    Bloodpromise let out a sigh and said, ��Younger Brother Bloodsword, I��m sorry! This is the first order that His Highness gave. This seat can��t defy it either!��


    Finished saying, Bloodpromise��s palm pressed against Bloodsword��s head and spat out a force. The latter was directly annihilated.


    From start to end, Bloodsword did not dare to resist in the slightest.


    Behind Ye Yuan, Yang Qing��s heart was about to jump out.


    This was too freaking �� awesome!


    One sentence and an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse died!


    One had to know, how great a price did Heaven One had to pay to kill an Emperor Sakra Heaven?


    Even if there was the help of the city protecting grand array, wanting to kill an Emperor Realm powerhouse was also as hard as ascending to heaven!


    In the great battle under the Absolute Heaven Barrier, there were many wounded but few deaths.


    For so many years, the Emperor Realm powerhouses that Heaven One really killed were actually not many either.


    On the contrary, many of the blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses died at the hands of their own people.


    But today, Ye Yuan decided with a word, eradicating a mighty Emperor Sakra Heaven expert!


    Wonderful!


    After the blood race learned that their Blood Divine Son was actually a human, Yang Qing wondered what kind of reaction it would be like?


    Even thinking about it felt a little exciting!


    Bloodpromise had a troubled expression too. Bloodsword was considered his subordinate, and his relationship with him was still considered pretty good.


    Today, he actually personally ended him!


    ��Bloodpromise, you seem to be very reluctant!�� Ye Yuan looked at Bloodpromise and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Bloodpromise was startled in his heart and hurriedly said, ��H-Haha, why would I? Bloodsword he actually dared to plot to murder Your Highness, that��s his way of seeking death! This subordinate is honored to the extreme to be able to act for Your Highness!��


    Ye Yuan��s face fell, and he said with a cold snort, ��Don��t pull this crap with this liege! Bloodpromise, you��re a piece of trash! This army of 300 thousand were all drawn from the elites who participated in the hundred sons battle, their combat power increased more than tenfold compared to before! Even like this, you failed to take down South Qi Giant City!��


    Bloodpromise had a look of embarrassment as he said, ��Yes, Your Highness is right! Your Highness, please give me a few more days!��


    An origin powerhouse was scolded as trash by someone just like that.


    But, he did not have any temper at all, and he even had to humor Ye Yuan.


    But Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves and said lightly, ��No need! Three days later, launch the general offensive! Emperor Realm powerhouses will be commanded by you. Those under Emperor Realm will be commanded by this liege! This liege will let you know how incompetent you are!��


    With one sentence, he directly stripped Bloodpromise of his military power.


    With regards to this, Bloodpromise was naturally very disdainful in his heart.


    Not being in his position, one totally would not know how difficult this battle was.


    This time, he really led his men in a charge, fighting with Feng Xiaotian until both sides were wounded and defeated and did not shrink back at all.


    However, it still made no difference.


    Each time, they would see hope of breaching the city. But every time, they would return in defeat.


    Really think that you can change all these because you��re the Blood Divine Son?


    War was not just about competing in strength!


    However, he did not care too much about Ye Yuan seizing power.


    It would be best for this battle to fail.


    With Blood Divine Son His Highness as the meat cushion, his failure would not seem so conspicuous anymore.


    ��With Your Highness personally holding down the fort, our blood race will surely win this battle! Breaking down the Absolute Heaven Barrier will be three days later!�� Bloodpromise curried favor as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Bloodpromise, don��t give me that! Now, lead this liege to take a look at South Qi Giant City!��


    No matter how one looked at him, Ye Yuan behaved like a complacent genius.


    Such a genius was also the easiest to suffer a disastrous defeat.


    Bloodpromise was filled with disdain in his heart. No matter how amazing you were, you were also merely just a puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Really think that you could dictate this way on your own?


    However, Ye Yuan��s approach was quite agreeable with Giant Net City��s blood race powerhouses.


    This Blood Divine Son was decisive in going for the kill and executed things in a sweeping manner. He was a good commander-in-chief!


    Everyone felt invigorated with such a Blood Divine Son.


    Ye Yuan swept across those in the same rank in the hundred sons battle. It had already swept with great fervor.


    Presently, Ye Yuan was simply a god-like existence in their hearts.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan brought the hundred sons powerhouses and passed through the passageway, arriving outside of South Qi Giant City.


    Seeing the present South Qi Giant City, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing��s hearts shook wildly.


    He was really unable to imagine how Feng Xiaotian and the powerhouses in the city pulled through these 20 over days.


    There were corpses everywhere outside the


    city!


    In this brief respite, no one went to collect the dead bodies either.


    It was because the powerhouses in the city were accumulating all of their strength to prepare for the next frenzied great battle!


    South Qi Giant City was already in utter dilapidation.


    The city protecting grand array had also lost its fierceness back then a long time ago.


    The scattered formation path powerhouses were currently using the Lesser Origin Restoration Art to repair the array formation.


    It was just that even with the Lesser Origin Restoration Art, there was no way to restore the array formation to its peak within a short time either.


    This was because those formation path powerhouses were already pretty much all dead.


    During the past 20 days, it was an endless darkness to South Qi Giant City!


    The appearance of Ye Yuan��s party made South Qi Giant City immediately go on alert.


    Feng Xiaotian was the first to rush up on top of the city walls, looking over here from afar.


    When his gaze landed on that figure right at the front, his entire person was immediately petrified.


    The shock in his heart simply could not be any greater!

 Chapter 2893 - Are You Trash or Not?

    Chapter 2893 Are You Trash or Not?


    I-Isn��t that Ye Yuan?


    Why did Bloodpromise have an obsequious appearance standing next to him?


    This �� This was too fantastical!


    A human Saint Sovereign Heaven ran to the blood race, and even an origin realm Emperor Sakra Heaven had to be reverent and respectful towards him?


    Ye Yuan naturally changed his appearance when he went to the blood race.


    But, others did not know that that was Ye Yuan, but Feng Xiaotian knew!


    Before leaving, Ye Yuan left with this appearance and this aura.


    ��C-Could it be that he��s �� no, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!��


    Suddenly, Feng Xiaotian seemed to have thought of something and could not help shuddering


    He was going to defy this idea instinctively.


    But, apart from that identity, why would an existence like Bloodpromise be so deferential and respectful towards him?


    T-This was too shocking!


    Originally, hearing the news that the new Blood Divine Son had arrived, Feng Xiaotian had despaired.


    Although the Blood Divine Son��s strength was nothing to do, in this kind of war, the function of Saint Sovereign Heavens and True Sovereign Heavens were indispensable.


    A squad of 200 people was sufficient to match up to an army of 30 thousand!


    Moreover, there was still a blood race army of 200 thousand behind these 200 people!


    But now, Ye Yuan stood in front of him, having become the blood race��s Blood Divine Son!


    ��That��s the blood race��s new Blood Divine Son? Looks nothing more than that!��


    ��Don��t underestimate him! You��re also aware of how many casualties the Saint Sovereign and True Sovereign Hundred Sons have caused us for so many years! This Blood Divine Son must be even more extraordinary!��


    ��This guy is really arrogant! He��s patrolling on top of the city walls so openly and brazenly. Does he really think that we don��t dare to kill him?��


    ����


    In the city, many powerhouses revealed killing intent.


    They had long already hated the blood race to the core.


    Let alone that the people who came this time, their identities were extraordinary.


    Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowing slightly as he said in a cold voice, ��There are at most 10 thousand over people in this South Qi Giant City! You can��t even take down such a city; Bloodpromise, you��re really a piece of trash!��


    This was already not Ye Yuan��s first time calling him trash. Bloodpromise wished to smack Ye Yuan to death with one palm.


    But sadly, he could not!


    Ye Yuan scolded; he could only listen.


    ��Your Highness isn��t aware. These guys put up a stubborn resistance. It��s really a tough bone to bite on! After the great battle begins, Your Highness will know how stubborn these guys are!�� Bloodpromise defended himself.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said coolly, ��Oh, is that so?��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s figure moved, and he actually rushed straight for South Qi Giant City.


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    This �� Did he go insane?


    It was true that the blood race was powerful, but you, a Saint Sovereign Heaven, was this trying to defy the heavens?


    Really think that after you became the Blood Divine Son, you became invincible under the heavens?


    Please, one of their Emperor Realms could smack you to death with a slap, alright?


    SI


    Of course, Ye Yuan would not be foolish enough to go and assault Emperor Realms, he was going for the Heaven One main camp.


    The main camp was separate from the Emperor Realms. Otherwise, once Emperor Realms fought, how could those under Emperor Realm still survive?


    Seeing Ye Yuan make a move, many Heaven One Emperor Realms were eager for action.


    Feng Xiaotian said nonchalantly without leaving a trace: ��Although my Heaven One is weak, it��s also not what a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven can trample recklessly! Let him posture. This city lord wants to see how much capability this new Blood Divine Son has.��


    Feng Xiaotian was absolutely paramount at South Qi Giant City.


    The words that he said, there were naturally no one who refuted.


    Moreover, these Emperor Realms were also quite interested in Ye Yuan, this Blood Divine Son.


    What kind of genius could become the blood race��s Blood Divine Son?


    Bloodpromise��s scalp tingled; was this fellow brain-damaged?


    If the Blood Divine Son were to die here, he would not be able to clear his name even by jumping into the Yellow River!


    However, seeing that Feng Xiaotian did not move either, he calmed down slightly.


    Before entering the grand array, Ye Yuan gave Feng Xiaotian a look.


    Seeing this look, Feng Xiaotian��s heart that had been tense for over 20 days, finally eased


    up.


    Although he did not spend a long time with Ye Yuan, they became the firmest of friends.


    At this time, one look was enough!


    He knew that Ye Yuan was telling him that he would settle the blood race��s side.


    He did not know what kind of means Ye Yuan had, to be able to block an army of 200 thousand.


    But he had faith in Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan actually became the Blood Divine Son. If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would never have dreamed it, right?


    This sort of thing already surpassed their understanding.


    Even this kind of miracle happened, so what else did he have to not trust Ye Yuan?


    Boom!


    The city protecting grand array directly landed, and all kinds of terrifying attacks fell toward Ye Yuan.


    That power made everyone��s complexions turn pale.


    The direction of the main camp was the weak spot of the grand array, which was also to deal with some troops below Emperor Realm.


    But, no matter how weak, it was sufficient to kill a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven too.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan��s body erupted with a brilliant blood light. A surge of origin power gushed forth, protecting him firmly in the center.


    In a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan actually withstood the grand array and rushed into the main camp.


    In the main camp, those soldiers were greatly astonished, charging toward Ye Yuan one after another.


    Ye Yuan had a disdainful look as he said in a cold voice, ��A bunch of ants also dare to stop this liege��s invincible might! Die for me!��


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s hands fired out rays of blood light.


    Those Saint Sovereign Heavens, even some True Sovereign Heaven, died upon contact!


    In a twinkle, Ye Yuan ��killed�� nearly a hundred people!


    Feng Xiaotian��s expression could not help ��changing drastically�� at this time, saying in a fierce voice, ��Bloodazure punk, this city lord is definitely going to tear you to shreds!��


    However, at this time, Ye Yuan already pulled away, passing right through the grand array, returning to his own camp.


    The blood race��s side was deathly silent!


    This �� was too impressive!


    Rushing into the Heaven One��s main camp by himself and retreating unscathed after killing a hundred people!


    What kind of terrifying strength was this?


    Everyone��s gazes turned toward Bloodpromise with strange faces.


    Just now, you said that this bone was very tough to bite?


    Your words had yet to fade and His Highness already went to kill and came back.


    This face was slapped resoundingly! The sound of face-slapping seemed to be traveling through the air.


    Ye Yuan looked at Bloodpromise and said coolly, ��This is the tough bone that you said was hard to chew on?��


    Bloodpromise had a look of embarrassment as he said, ��Y-Your Highness��s invincible might is unmatched. Bloodpromise is far inferior!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��Inferior? This liege said that you��re trash, but you weren��t convinced. Now, do you think you��re trash or not?��


    ��I-I��m trash!�� Bloodpromise wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Too freaking embarrassing!


    You, Bloodpromise, led an army of several hundred thousand and failed to invade after attacking for many centuries.


    The moment Blood Divine Son His Highness came, he breached it on his own!


    Although it was just circling one round and casually killed a few people, this was a crazy face-slapping act to Heaven One, a wild show of contempt!


    Could he, Bloodpromise, do it?


    Whatever Heaven One was powerful, whatever put up a stubborn resistance, it was utter rubbish!


    In the end, he was a piece of trash!


    ��Your Highness is mighty!��


    ��Your Highness�� divine might is unparalleled!��


    ��The blood race will unify Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven today!��


    ����


    Waves of cheering erupted behind Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s slight display of skill directly boosted the blood race��s morale to the extreme.

 Chapter 2894 - Sold and Still Counting Money!

    Chapter 2894 Sold and Still Counting Money!


    Giant Net City was completely boiling over with excitement!


    Blood Divine Son His Highness went on a solo run and directly punched through South Qi Giant City!


    This kind of glorious battle achievement was unprecedented.


    Furthermore, Blood Divine Son His Highness actually had the power of origin on his body!


    There was actually the power of origin on a Saint Sovereign Heaven��s body!


    The general populace did not know the existence of the Chaos Bloodstone.


    But it did not matter. It was sufficient for them to know that a Saint Sovereign Heaven had the power of origin in his body.


    Ye Yuan��s prestige had no equal for some time.


    Even when You Jin heard this news, he was stunned too.


    He felt that this Blood Divine Son was unreliable and somewhat had grandiose ambitions without real ability. He did not expect that he really had some skill.


    Even with the power of origin protecting, it was not an easy thing to pierce through South Qi Giant City either.


    Otherwise, Bloodpromise, these few origin powerhouses, would have long charged over.


    The encouragement that this battle brought to the blood race was enormous.


    They deeply believed that Giant Net City��s army could break through the Absolute Heaven Barrier under the lead of the Blood Divine Son and render a peerlessly amazing contribution!


    What Ye Yuan wanted was precisely this effect.


    Three days later, the army was done assembling!


    Even though it was said that it was 200 thousand people, actually, there were only 180 thousand at present.


    In these few days of sieging the city, the blood race still lost 20 thousand.


    Ye Yuan stood before the army, awe-inspiring as if he was without equal in the world.


    His gaze swept across the army, and he shouted, ��Everyone, this is this liege��s first battle, and it��s also the battle to rectify our name! In this battle, this liege will lead you all and breach South Qi Giant City, completing a noble exploit without equal! Do you all trust


    me?��


    The blood race advocated strength. Ye Yuan had long already proven his strength in the hundred sons battle.


    The solo run three days ago even made his prestige reach a level like it was the noonday


    sun!


    ��Your Highness will definitely win!��


    ��The blood race will definitely win!��


    ����


    Over 200 thousand people��s voices shook the sky, reverberating throughout the whole world. Their gazes, when looking at Ye Yuan, were filled with looks of worship.


    They firmly believed that this was the leader that was leading them toward the light!


    Bloodpromise watched this scene and could not help feeling incredibly ashamed too.


    He had led the army for so many years and never enjoyed such prestige before either.


    With this momentum, why worry that South Qi Giant City would not be destroyed?


    Facing Ye Yuan, he actually felt ashamed of his unworthiness.


    ��Set off!��


    Under his word of command, the army departed!


    Bearing down the borders in large numbers, South Qi Giant City experienced the pain of despair once again.


    Especially when they saw this army��s mental outlook and aura were already totally different.


    In the past, the blood race suffered repeated setbacks and had low morale.


    Their combat power often could not be unleashed.


    But today, this army had an unstoppable momentum, as if they were reborn anew.


    They were clear in their hearts that it was because a new leader was born among them!


    This new leader was actually someone who killed his way into South Qi Giant City!


    This was absolutely the greatest humiliation to South Qi��s soldiers.


    ��Brother Feng, this situation is bad!�� Feng Xiaotian��s right-hand man, similarly an origin powerhouse, Chen Yi, said with a frown.


    Feng Xiaotian��s brows also furrowed tightly.


    What the hell was Ye Yuan doing?


    That day, he gave him a look, making him deliberately go easy.


    This clearly made Ye Yuan��s prestige reach the peak.


    But what help was this to this war?


    This guy would not have turned traitor, right?


    As for what medicine Ye Yuan was selling in his gourd, Feng Xiaotian was not clear either.


    Repelling 200 thousand blood race elites, this was absolutely not an easy matter.


    Even if Feng Xiaotian believed in Ye Yuan, he also could not figure out what Ye Yuan could use to save South Qi Giant City.


    ��Let��s see what happens first!�� Feng Xiaotian said in a solemn voice.


    Far away, Ye Yuan stood before the army, awe-inspiring!


    He looked at Bloodpromise and said coldly, ��Bloodpromise, Feng Xiaotian will be left to you! The number of our Emperor Realms is three times that of theirs! This time, if you still can��t deal with Feng Xiaotian, carry your head to come see me!��


    Bloodpromise��s expression turned somber, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Your Highness rest assured, I��ll definitely take Feng Xiaotian down this time!��


    As he said, he led the Emperor Realm powerhouses and charged straight for South Qi Giant City.


    Over on the Heaven One��s main camp, each and every one was akin to facing a great enemy, awaiting the fierce onslaught of the blood race army.


    However, Ye Yuan suddenly pointed at one of the True Sovereign Heavens and said coolly, ��You, bring 3000 men and attack in that direction!��


    ��Yes!��


    The True Sovereign Heaven was very excited, bringing 3000 men and immediately rushed over.


    Everyone, including the Heaven One army was waiting for Ye Yuan��s next order.


    But �� there were none!


    That True Sovereign Heaven thought that they were just the vanguard and that the remaining army would come over right away.


    But he did not see any movements until his death.


    ��Why? Your Highness, why!�� On his deathbed, that True Sovereign Heaven shouted crazily.


    3000 versus 15 thousand, and it was even while withstanding the city protecting grand array.


    The Heaven One army simply killed them as easy as blowing away dust!


    Furthermore, the direction that Ye Yuan pointed to was precisely where the grand array was extremely strong.


    These people directly became cannon fodders and did not even stir up a single wave.


    Why?


    The blood race army also really wanted to ask, but Ye Yuan��s current prestige was like the noonday sun.


    Although they had misgivings, they believed Ye Yuan without a shadow of a doubt and felt that Ye Yuan��s action definitely had a deep meaning!


    ��You, bring 3000 people and go attack in that direction!��


    Ye Yuan pointed at another True Sovereign Heaven and gave the same order. However, the direction of the attack this time changed to a different place.


    Except, this place was similarly where the grand array was extremely strong!


    The True Sovereign Heaven hesitated for a bit but still brought 3000 men and rushed right away.


    On the battlefield, obeying orders came first!


    The result was the same as before.


    The Heaven One army wiped out 6000 blood race troops virtually unscathed. Everyone was struck senseless!


    What �� the hell was this?


    Courting death?


    The third time, Ye Yuan pointed at another True Sovereign Heaven and still brought 3000 people.


    This time, everyone��s faith in Ye Yuan finally wavered.


    People were not stupid. Nobody was willing to court death.


    The True Sovereign Heaven said, ��Your Highness, may I ask why?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Are you willing to sacrifice for the blood race?��


    The True Sovereign Heaven nodded and said, ��Of course! But I don��t want to die meaninglessly!�� Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How can it be meaningless? Bloodpromise that fool doesn��t know anything. He only knows how to attack the city like a headless fly. It��s been several centuries, and he��s completely clueless about where the weakness of South Qi Giant City lies! That��s right, you all are delivering yourselves to death, but your deaths are absolutely not meaningless! Although this city protecting grand array is powerful, it has weak spots too! As long as we figure out the weak spots, breaching South Qi Giant City will be as easy as turning over our hands! Therefore, if you figure it out, you��ll be our blood race��s heroes! It looks like we have some casualties now, but in the end, we��ll definitely lose a lot less people!��


    Whoosh!


    The blood race seethed with excitement!


    Indeed well-deserving of being Blood Divine Son His Highness, peerlessly brilliant!


    Ye Yuan��s explanation immediately convinced everyone.


    And when the Heaven One army there heard Ye Yuan��s words, they immediately felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar. The joy of victory from earlier immediately vanished without a trace.


    And just as Ye Yuan said, no matter how strong the array formation, it had weak spots too.


    Once the weak spots were found, then they would not be able to resist at all!


    It was not that Bloodpromise was stupid, but it was that the blood race really knew absolutely nothing about Formation Dao.


    Therefore, he could only use brute force.


    The Heaven One army��s powerhouses all had solemn expressions.


    This Blood Divine Son was indeed different!


    At least, he still understood the Dao of Array Formations a little.


    This was already remarkable!


    Sure enough, under Ye Yuan��s fooling, that True Sovereign Heaven brought 3000 men to go and die again!


    The battle had not been fought yet, and the blood race had already lost ten thousand men!


    Behind Ye Yuan, Yang Qing had no expression, but his heart had long already blossomed with joy.


    This guy was too capable of hoodwinking others!


    The blood race, this bunch of fools, was sold by him and still counting money for him!

 Chapter 2895 - My Motives weren’t Pure to Begin With!

    Chapter 2895 My Motives weren��t Pure to Begin With!


    Your look when selling people earnestly is really quite handsome!


    Yang Qing really wanted to yell: You bunch of morons were sold!


    Everyone��s dumbfounded looks really made people look forward to it!


    However, Ye Yuan already started selling people. This scene should be visible very soon.


    Over there, Bloodpromise and Feng Xiaotian were currently fighting fiercely. But, hearing Ye Yuan��s words, what they were thinking in their hearts were different.


    Bloodpromise was originally questioning Ye Yuan too, but hearing Ye Yuan��s explanation, he thought to himself that His Highness was indeed formidable!


    No wonder he could become the Blood Divine Son.


    While Feng Xiaotian was struck dumb with amazement in his heart, when did it become so easy to kill bloodkins?


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually used this sort of method to scam the blood race.


    No idea how many of them had to die to kill one bloodkin. But Ye Yuan killed tens of thousands in one move!


    Previously, Ye Yuan already entrapped 100 thousand bloodkins.


    In a blink of an eye today, he entrapped another ten thousand.


    However �� it was really very satisfying!


    If the blood race could all be killed like this, how great would it be?


    How many brothers would not need to die on the battlefield?


    However, he naturally knew that this was just an extravagant hope. Closely following that, Ye Yuan sold again and again. Each time, he changed to a different direction.


    But, without the slightest exception, they all went to places where the city protecting grand array was strong.


    S


    In the beginning, everyone felt that Ye Yuan was brilliant and mighty.


    But gradually, they also sensed that something was not right.


    In this short while, 40 to 50 thousand people had already died!


    At this rate, everyone would be dead, and they might not even be able to probe where the grand array��s weak spots were.


    ��Your Highness, I��m afraid that this isn��t appropriate, right? Over 40 thousand people have already died, but it��s not working at all! At this rate, when will it end?��


    The one speaking was a half-step Emperor Realm powerhouse. He was also the number one person in True Sovereign Hundred Sons, Xue Yi!


    He clearly had this qualification to question Ye Yuan.


    ��Your Highness, we can��t carry on probing like this anymore!��


    ��Yeah, Your Highness, let��s attack the city!��


    The moment Xue Yi opened his mouth, many people concurred.


    They seriously could not look on anymore.


    Over 180 thousand people were reduced to only 140 thousand in a short while!


    These 40 thousand people could have killed a few thousand of South Qi��s people no matter what, right?


    But now, they were dead without even harvesting anything!


    ��Are you questioning this liege? Or �� are you all questioning this liege? How this liege does things, do I still need you all to teach?��


    Ye Yuan shouted coldly. Those people immediately stopped speaking.


    These days, Ye Yuan��s accumulated prestige was put into full play at this moment.


    But Ye Yuan also knew that it would not last long anymore!


    ��That��s right, Your Highness�� move must have a profound meaning, I��ll support Your Highness!�� Yang Qing also came forward in a timely manner at this time.


    These words also won the approval of many people.


    Ye Yuan still had quite the foundation in this


    army.


    Sure enough, these words immediately silenced the doubts.


    ��You, bring 3000 people to attack that spot!�� Ye Yuan pointed at Xue Yi and said in a cold voice.


    Xue Yi��s expression changed. His gaze when looking toward Ye Yuan was full of chilliness.


    Previously, those True Sovereign Heavens�� strengths were ordinary. They were merely just some cannon fodders. If they died, then they died.


    But, the True Sovereign Hundred Sons�� number one going to be the cannon fodder was somewhat overboard, right?


    ��What? You want to defy orders? Or do you not want to dedicate your life for our race at all?�� Ye Yuan��s eyes also turned cold.


    Xue Yi clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes bloodshot.


    He had currently fallen into a dilemma.


    Go, die!


    Not going, still die!


    Being confronted by a formidable enemy, defying the order that the Blood Divine Son gave, this was no joke!


    ��Fine, I��ll go! But I hope that I��m the last batch to go! If I die under the grand array, Your Highness, please attack the city! At this rate, our numbers won��t be able to take down South Qi anymore!�� Xue Yi said in a solemn voice.


    ��Just you go! This liege has in mind what should be done! This liege is the Blood Divine Son, Wang Zuo��s successor. Could it be that I can still be helping the Heaven One Alliance?�� Ye Yuan said with a cold snort.


    At this time, Ye Yuan highlighted his identity as Wang Zuo��s successor, and this immediately suppressed Xue Yi��s provocation.


    Yeah, what reason did Wang Zuo��s successor have to let himself fail in taking over the city?


    This defeat would be a fatal blow to the Blood Divine Son��s reputation!


    One had to know, the Blood Divine Son had not been officially conferred yet!


    Xue Yi went!


    Then he died!


    These 3000 people were still completely wiped out.


    Xue Yi��s strength naturally went without saying.


    But, no matter how strong he was, the number of people he brought was also too few.


    Facing the grand array and the Heaven One army, he could only take the road that led to death.


    Yang Qing��s heart blossomed with joy. Xue Yi this damn thing was actually scammed to death by Ye Yuan just like this.


    Hahahaha!


    The hundred sons battle, this guy defeated him and even humiliated him on the stage!


    Excited!


    No matter how impressive you were, you were also not as impressive as Your Father��s bro!


    Your Father��s brother could take your life with a word!


    Yet, you could not do anything about it!


    ��You, go and try over there!�� Ye Yuan pointed at another True Sovereign Hundred Son and said.


    Just now, he made a lot of noise. Who would Ye Yuan target if not him?


    That True Sovereign Hundred Son was dumbfounded.


    Are you freaking �� finished yet?!


    This time, the questioning voices grew louder!


    ni


    Xue Yi��s words still stirred up many people��s nerves.


    This battle had not yet been fought and several tens of thousands of people had already died.


    It would be strange if they did not have any thoughts.


    If Ye Yuan was not the rare Blood Divine Son, these bloodkins would have long revolted.


    It was also that the Blood Divine Son��s awe-inspiring reputation was too great, coupled with Ye Yuan��s explosive performance before, that let Ye Yuan last until now.


    That Hundred Son still went.


    Then he still died!


    After many True Sovereign Hundred Sons were scammed to death successively, Bloodpromise was finally the first to explode.


    ��Bloodazure, what are you doing? Over 50 thousand people had already died and you still haven��t started the battle! Your method doesn��t work, hurry up and attack the city!�� Bloodpromise said angrily.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��How this liege does things, it��s still not your turn to come and point fingers and order me about!��


    Bloodpromise said in a great fury, ��Bullsh*t! I��m this army��s commander! This battle concerns the bigger picture. I can��t sit idly by and remain indifferent!��


    Ye Yuan still said nonchalantly, ��Who the hell do you think you are? To dare be so impudent to this liege?��


    ��Your Highness, this subordinate feels that what Lord Bloodpromise says is right! We should attack the city already!�� The one speaking was Bloodage, Saint Sovereign��s number one.


    With him taking the lead, the other hundred sons also came forward to oppose it.


    ��Your Highness, we should attack the city already!��


    ��Your Highness, can��t carry on probing like this!��


    ��Your Highness, if we still don��t attack the city, all the previous efforts will be wasted!��


    �� ��


    Even at this point, they still did not dare to question Ye Yuan easily, but they only urged him to attack the city.


    But these people��s meaning was already very clear.


    Ye Yuan pointed at Bloodage and said coolly, ��You go!��


    Bloodage��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a cold voice, ��I��m not going!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned chilly and he said angrily, ��You dare defy orders?��


    Bloodage said with a cold snort, ��Your Highness, Bloodage �� has no choice but to defy orders! I want to ask, who else wants to go and be cannon fodder?��


    Everyone was silent.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan had already exhausted the last trace of his prestige.


    This army did not have anyone who listened to him anymore.


    However, he naturally did not care.


    This was the result that he wanted in the first place.


    ��Your Highness, pardon Bloodage for being bold. Right now �� I��m very doubtful of your motives!�� Bloodage looked at Ye Yuan and said coldly.


    The hundred sons did not have fools.


    It was just that due to Ye Yuan��s identity, no one dared to come forward and question him.


    But now, things had already developed to this stage. They had no choice but to come forward and oppose Ye Yuan already.


    These people naturally would not be stupid until they would only understand after Ye Yuan killed everyone.


    Originally, Ye Yuan��s gaze when looking at Bloodage was very angry. But suddenly, he grinned and said, ��Don��t need to doubt it. What you��re thinking is correct! My motives weren��t pure to begin with!��

 Chapter 2896 - Revealing Identity, All Shocked!

    Chapter 2896 Revealing Identity, All Shocked!


    All of a sudden, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body changed greatly!


    That monstrous bloody aura actually suddenly became a human��s aura.


    And his appearance also underwent an upheaval change.


    Everyone was immediately stunned.


    What was this playing at?


    Especially the blood race powerhouses, each and every one was shocked until their eyeballs popped out.


    ��This �� What��s going on?��


    ��Blood Divine Son His Highness �� is a human?��


    ��I �� Are my eyes failing me?��


    ��Really freaking seeing ghosts!��


    ����


    This scene was seriously too shocking. No matter who it was, nobody expected that such a dramatic scene would occur.


    Our king��s successor, the new generation king, was actually a human?


    Was there a mistake?


    Over there, when Bloodpromise, who was currently fighting fiercely with Feng Xiaotian, saw this bizarre scene, he nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    However, Feng Xiaotian was long prepared, seizing this gap and destroying half of Bloodpromise��s body with one move.


    Succeeding with one move, Feng Xiaotian was not in a hurry to chase down anymore, but smiled and said, ��I didn��t expect that your blood race��s Blood Divine Son is actually of our human race! Hahaha ����


    This sudden change was seriously too explosive!


    Bloodpromise had just regenerated his body and directly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    This was too demoralizing!


    The battle had not been fought yet, and they already lost tens of thousands of lives.


    In the end, their command-in-chief was actually the enemy!


    Blood Divine Son, how transcendent was that status, how noble was the identity?


    In the blood race, he was practically below one person and above everyone else!


    Even Hegemon Realms did not dare to easily offend him as well.


    But such a transcendent existence was actually given to a human.


    This was truly a huge irony!


    Bloodpromise��s two eyes were virtually spewing fire. He stared fixedly at Ye Yuan and said angrily, ��Bloodazure, who on earth are


    you?��


    His words asked the question that everyone had.


    Who on earth was he?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Looks like your memory isn��t very good. The last time, didn��t you lose an army of 100 thousand at my hands?��


    Bloodpromise��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in alarm, ��You �� You��re Ye Yuan! This �� How is this possible!��


    It was naturally not that he had a bad memory. It was just that in the previous great battle, Ye Yuan was merely an insignificant minor character.


    How could he, an Emperor Sakra Heaven, possibly know Ye Yuan?


    It was also later on, after all sorts of intel were transmitted back, Bloodpromise knew that he was actually defeated at the hands of a Saint Sovereign Heaven brat.


    However, how long had it been?


    How did Ye Yuan become the blood race��s Blood Divine Son with a sway of his body?


    This was too horrifying!


    Yes, beyond the shock, Bloodpromise had a hair-raising feeling. A human changed his appearance and entered the blood race.


    He became the head of the hundred sons, entered the Blood God Temple, and even obtained the mother stone��s recognition in the end, becoming the Blood Divine Son!


    This series of events was simply a mythological story.


    It sounded fantastical, but it genuinely happened!


    He was actually pointed in the face by a human Saint Sovereign Heaven and scolded trash?


    An ant-like thing was actually ordering him about?


    Bloodpromise really felt like he had incredibly bad luck at this time!


    ��N-No wonder he slaughtered his peers crazily in the hundred sons battle!�� Bloodage thought of something too, his pupils constricting.


    Even he nearly died at Ye Yuan��s hands too.


    Crazy!


    Completely insane!


    From the start of the hundred sons battle under now, how many blood race elites died under his hands?


    Tens of thousands! Adding in today��s 50 thousand people, Ye Yuan had already killed close to 100 thousand blood race Saint Sovereign Heavens!


    Among them, there were many who were peerless geniuses, existence who might be able to become Hegemons in the future!


    Suddenly, Bloodpromise felt like his heart was dripping blood.


    This was really a freaking stroke of marvel!


    The Heaven One Alliance side was struck senseless too.


    The blood race��s Blood Divine Son was actually Ye Yuan?


    What the hell?!


    Just now, I was still scolding this guy for being a moron, unleashing careless moves!


    The attacking points that he chose were all areas where the grand array was the strongest.


    Could it be that the Blood Divine Son was an idiot?


    Today, the truth came to light!


    Hahaha �� Too satisfying!


    Slaughtered 50 thousand bloodkins without losing a single troop! Among them was also someone like the number one True Sovereign, Xue Yi!


    Too awesome!


    This was really heaven helping our Heaven One Alliance.


    At the moment of desperation, such an amazing figure actually appeared.


    ��Big Brother Yuan is mighty! You��re my idol!��


    ��Too satisfying! Previously, you scammed 100 thousand bloodkins to death. Now, you scammed another 50 thousand elites to death! Impressive!��


    ��Big Brother Yuan, I love you too much!��


    The Heaven One generals and soldiers were already agitated until they were rambling.


    The impact that Ye Yuan gave everyone by revealing his identity was seriously too strong.


    This resulted in the entire battle falling into a brief respite.


    Bloodpromise��s pair of eyes already wanted to drip blood. He bellowed: ��Kill! Everyone, give up on attacking the city and kill this bastard for me!��


    This roar reverberated throughout the sky, shocking until everyone��s eardrums hurt slightly.


    It could be seen how enraged the current Bloodpromise was.


    When he became enraged, the blood race army finally reacted.


    The 180 thousand strong army was already just left with 130 thousand plus at this time.


    But this force was enough to annihilate Ye Yuan ten thousand times over!


    Feng Xiaotian��s expression changed too, instinctively wanting to go over.


    But, before he moved, Bloodpromise brought a group of Emperor Realms and charged over.


    ��Want to save him? No chance! Since he wants to be a hero, then he should have thought of what the consequences would be!�� Bloodpromise��s words carried thick cruelty.


    Feng Xiaotian was tied down by Bloodpromise and the rest and could not get away at all.


    And the faces of the Heaven One army��s soldiers and generals also changed drastically.


    Just now, they only cared about being excited and completely forgot that Ye Yuan was still in the enemy camp!


    There was an army of more than 100 thousand around him!


    But they could not move!


    They only had over ten thousand people. Once they went out of the city, without the protection of the grand array, they would be eaten up by this army of more than 100 thousand until not even dregs remained.


    Right at this time, Feng Xiaotian gave an angry roar, ��Whole army, move out of the city! Save Ye Yuan at all costs!��


    This was gambling the fate of the entire city!


    In Feng Xiaotian��s view, even if South Qi Giant City fell, it was not as important as one Ye Yuan too!


    This series of supernatural-like manipulation truly shocked all the heavens!


    Most likely, another Ye Yuan could not be found in the 33 Heavens.


    This was a legendary-like figure. He absolutely could not let him die!


    Therefore, he gave this order without the slightest hesitation.


    His order was carried out at once.


    The commander of the army had already led the army to prepare to go out of the city.


    When Bloodpromise saw this scene, he could not help being wildly elated in his heart.


    This was precisely the scene that he wanted to see!


    So what if one Ye Yuan scammed tens of thousands of people to death?


    As long as South Qi Giant City was breached, he would be the blood race��s great meritorious official!


    At that time, he would be able to enter the void and gain enlightenment on the Chaos Bloodstone.


    Hegemon Realm was near at hand!


    When Ye Yuan heard this order, he felt a warmth in his heart too.


    However, he shouted coldly, ��All stop for me! Leave the remaining over 100 thousand people to me!��


    Over 100 thousand bloodkin army, each person��s face revealed an extremely odd look.


    This guy did not go crazy, right?

 Chapter 2897 - : Jaw-dropping Play!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    This guy was doing it again?


    In the crowd, Yang Qing��s pupils constricted, instinctively feeling fear.


    Back then, that spectacular scene at sea was still fresh in his memory until now.


    But, thinking back, Ye Yuan seemed to not have transcended tribulation for a long time already.


    The last time he overcame tribulation, it was when he broke through to upper Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Thinking up to here, his scalp could not help tingling.


    Other people did not know how terrifying Ye Yuan��s Dao tribulation was, but he knew!


    Motherf*cker, following this guy really has nine chances to die and one chance to live!


    While it was satisfying, he was playing with his life every day!


    Yang Qing knew, but the rest did not know.


    When they heard Ye Yuan��s words, they felt that it was laughable to the extreme.


    ��Huhu, our Lord Blood Divine Son said that he��s going to deal with the 100 over thousand of us by himself!��


    ��Impressive! Indeed well-deserving of being Lord Blood Divine Son!��


    ��Lord Blood Divine Son, even if we stand here and let you kill, you��ll also have to kill until your hands turn into jelly, right?��


    They knew that Ye Yuan was formidable. If they were all Saint Sovereign Heavens, they really might not be able to stop him.


    But there were also several thousand True Sovereign Heavens present.


    Among them, there were even hundred sons level powerhouses.


    Could Ye Yuan alone deal with so many?


    If over 100 thousand people were killed by Ye Yuan, then wouldn��t that be a joke?


    ��Waste your breath with him for? Attack together and kill him for this seat! Kill him!�� Bloodpromise had already completely rampaged at this time.


    He felt anger from humiliation after being played.


    An exalted origin realm mighty expert was actually toyed by a Saint Sovereign Heaven in the palm of his hand.


    Disgraceful!


    When Bloodpromise was enraged, the blood race army no longer hesitated.


    One terrifying attack after another came greeting Ye Yuan��s body.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan just smiled brightly.


    At this moment, he no longer suppressed his realm, allowing his aura to skyrocket at will.


    Ye Yuan��s realm had already been suppressed for too long.


    Upon releasing it, a terrifying energy undulation instantly swept all around.


    Dozens of Saint Sovereign Heaven powerhouses were directly ground to dust by this surge of energy.


    Several True Sovereign Heavens were severely wounded too.


    As for those attacks, when Ye Yuan displayed his movement technique, they could not land on his body at all.


    Occasionally, a few were easily annihilated by this surge of energy too.


    Everyone was struck dumb with amazement!


    Why was the commotion so big when this guy broke through?


    Was True Sovereign Heaven broken through like this?


    As expected of Blood Divine Son, the commotion of this True Sovereign Heaven breakthrough was also too great!


    But very soon, they discovered that something was not right.


    Dao tribulation came!


    ��Not good, my my Dao tribulation is here! T-This time, it seems very powerful!��


    ��M-My Dao tribulation came too! What the hell?��


    ��What is going on here? I��d clearly just transcended my Dao tribulation not long ago! Why is it here again?


    ��It��s Ye Yuan! This guy broke through to True Sovereign Heaven and directly brought down the True Sovereign Dao Tribulation!��


    ��This This is Five Calamity Dao Tribulation! Really seeing ghosts! Broke through to True Sovereign Heaven and he directly brought down a Five


    Calamity Dao Tribulation?��


    In the blood race army, cries of alarm echoed.


    Layers of tribulation clouds gathered on top of the blood race army��s heads.


    Furthermore, it gathered more and more!


    The blood race army seemed to have contracted a plague, Dao tribulation arriving one after another.


    Above the sky,    were densely packed. But, it was as if all the tribulation clouds were centered around an incomparably massive tribulation cloud.


    That tribulation cloud covered the sky and blotted out the sun, emitting an aura that made people feel heart palpitations.


    Even when Bloodpromise saw it, he had the jitters too.


    He was incomparably horrified in his heart. How could this brat summon such a terrifying Dao tribulation?


    Right, this kid was a divergent cultivator!


    But divergent cultivators were also not up to this extent, right?


    How jealous did this guy make heaven?


    When Ye Yuan saw such power, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching too.


    This time, it seemed like it was a little too over the top!


    But in the next moment, his pupils constricted slightly, looking above the sky in horror.


    Because the tribulation clouds started merging together!


    Those countless tribulation clouds were all merging towards the center-most tribulation cloud.


    The power of the tribulation clouds grew stronger and stronger, increasingly stronger!


    Over 100 thousand blood race powerhouses, their complexions were practically all deathly pale.


    This What kind of Dao tribulation was this?


    Five Calamity Dao Tribulation?


    Nine Calamity Dao Tribulation?


    None of them!


    Countless   mixed together, already blurring the level of the Dao tribulation.


    There was just one thing. This Dao tribulation was very strong!


    Very strong!


    Everyone felt as if the god of death was currently descending.


    Feng Xiaotian also sucked in a breath of cold air and said, ��Is this a character who suppresses an era? This is also too shocking, right?��


    Without any prior agreement, both sides�� Emperor Realms stopped fighting.


    They were all looking toward the tribulation clouds in the distance with extremely shocked eyes.


    In fact, they had each retreated a lot, afraid of being caught up in the tribulation clouds.


    They also did not dare guarantee whether or not approaching it would call down Dao tribulation.


    Which of the Emperor Realms present were not characters who stunned an


    They had experienced god knows how many Dao tribulations!


    Their Dao tribulations were all very strong too.


    But, never had it been as shocking as today!


    One person transcending tribulation actually triggered more than 100 thousand people to transcend tribulations at the same time!


    Then, the tribulation clouds of more than 100 thousand people all gathered together, forming a large-scale tribulation cloud site.


    This was too crazy, too shocking!


    The corners of Bloodpromise��s mouth Ovitched slightly. He felt that he was somewhat powerless.


    These 100 thousand over people would not really be entrapped to death by him,


    right?


    Judging from the terror of this Blood Divine Son!


    it was not impossible!


    No wonder this guy could become the Blood Divine Son!


    He was truly a breathtaking to the extreme character!


    Suddenly, Bloodpromise��s pupils constricted, a slight curvature appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said with a smile, ��Feng Xiaotian, such a terrifying Dao tribulation, you guess Can Ye Yuan himself escape it or not?�� When Feng Xiaotian heard that, his expression changed wildly!


    ��Hahaha Feng Xiaotian, you say, is this called playing with fire and burning oneself? I admit that Ye Yuan was very formidable! He even deceived a group of Hegemons, becoming our blood race��s Blood Divine Son! But, if he can die, even if these over 100 thousand people are buried in death with him, it��s also worth it!��


    Bloodpromise also finally understood why Feng Xiaotian wanted to save Ye


    Yuan just now.


    Such a character could not die!


    To the Heaven One Alliance, he was hope!


    Therefore, looking from another point of view, Ye Yuan��s death was even more important than capturing South Qi Giant City!


    One would not die if they did not court death.


    Now, this guy was actually courting death on his own!


    Over 100 thousand people being buried with Ye Yuan did not seem to be something unacceptable too.


    It was just some Saint Sovereign Heavens and True Sovereign Heavens. The blood race had plenty!


    They only needed ten years, and the blood race would have another batch of


    powerhouses be born again!


    South Qi Giant City could be fought again.


    But, once Ye Yuan died, it would be tantamount to extinguishing all of Heaven One��s hope.


    Under the tribulation cloud, someone as strong as Yang Qing also had a deathly pale face.


    This pressure was too terrifying!


    Right now, even if an Emperor Realm was here, they would probably have to die too!


    ��Y-Ye Yuan, Your Father is getting killed by you! Just Just what the freaking hell are you? This kind of freakish thing, you could call it out too?�� Yang Qing swallowed his saliva and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��I also didn��t know that it would become like this!��


    Right at this time, countless bolts of tribulation fell crazily like it was raining.


    The aura that asphyxiated people fell from the sky!


    At this time, Ye Yuan had already mustered up his strength, planning to fight it out with this Dao tribulation.


    But in the next moment, he was stunned.


    Bang, bang, bang.


    Countless Dao tribulations fell, but miraculously, there was not a single Dao tribulation around him!


    But the power of the Dao tribulations around Ye Yuan was the strongest!


    Boom!


    Several hundred sons level of powerhouses immediately turned to ashes under the Dao tribulation.


    As for Saint Sovereign Heavens, god knows how many would die when one wave came down.


    Just earlier , Bloodpromise was still roaring madly with laughter, laughing about how Ye Yuan was courting death.


    But at this time, his smile froze on his gaze, seeming extremely bizarre.


    What kind of jaw-dropping play was this?

 Chapter 2898 - Bloodkins Wiped Out, Unprecedented Great Victory!

    Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios


    After being stupefied for a moment, Ye Yuan understood it.


    The power of blessing!


    After the tribulation clouds merged together, although the power was extremely strong, it was far less pure than before.


    This Dao tribulation was completely an indiscriminate attack.


    But, in the midst of these over 100 thousand powerhouses, Ye Yuan��s power of blessing was unleashed to the extreme!


    This was like aggro value. Ye Yuan��s aggro value was virtually zero under the enhancement of the power of blessing.


    The aggro value of over 100 thousand people directly drowned Ye Yuan out!


    The Dao tribulation could not find Ye Yuan at all amidst these over 100 thousand people!


    Hence, this kind of bizarre scene occurred.


    ��Yang Qing, come to my side!��


    Without waiting for Ye Yuan��s instructions, he already scooted over at once.


    ��Really seeing ghosts! You��re clearly a divergent cultivator. Why doesn��t the Dao tribulation smite you?�� Yang Qing had a look of confusion.


    ��Enough crap, follow me!��


    Finished saymg, Ye Yuan arrived next to a True Sovereign Hundred Son with a lunge.


    Boom!


    The Dao tribulation landed, and that hundred son turned directly to ashes.


    The power of the Dao tribulation around Ye Yuan was extremely strong.


    Even if it was a half-step Emperor Realm, they would not be able to withstand it at all too.


    The current Ye Yuan, it was like he was standing in the eye of the storm, where the eye was calm and tranquil, but the surrounding storm was extremely terrifying.


    Faintly in the unseen world, the Dao tribulation could sense Ye Yuan��s position, descending frenziedly around Ye Yuan.


    But it avoided Ye Yuan.


    This was fun.


    Ye Yuan was like a bomb. Wherever you threw him, that place would become death!


    With another lunge, another large group of people died.


    Under the chaotic Dao tribulations, these bloodkins would not resist at all.


    In fact, they could not even achieve revival from a drop of blood.


    Yang Qing stuck closely to Ye Yuan and was completely unscathed.


    Seeing this scene, he was excited until he jumped up.


    ��Hahaha Interesting! Interesting! I didn��t expect that Dao tribulation could still be overcome like this! People can be killed like this! All you ants, receive the punishment of Heavenly Dao!��


    Amidst the storm, Yang Qing discovered that he was safe and sound, and he immediately became invigorated.


    After taking a trip to the blood race, he also knew how cruel the blood race was.


    With regards to hatred toward the blood race, he was no less than Ye Yuan. Being able to kill bloodkins like this, he only felt incomparably invigorated in his heart.


    ��D-Don��t come over! I, fuck! ARGH!��


    ��You go away! You f*cker, hurry up and leave!��


    ��Sniff, sniff, sniff�� I beg you, don��t come over!��


    When those bloodkins saw Ye Yuan coming over, they were simply about to cry.


    When he came, it was equivalent to carrymg a bomb.


    The crux was that after the bomb exploded, Ye Yuan was fine!


    What else could be more aggrieving than this?


    Bloodpromise��s eyes went wide. This was simply freaking cheating!


    On what basis?


    More than 100 thousand people were all transcending tribulation. On what basis did it not smite Ye Yuan?


    Was he not a divergent cultivator?


    Didn��t Dao tribulation have extremely high aggro value toward divergent cultivators?


    Now, what the hell was this?


    Bloodpromise had an impulse to vomit blood right now.


    Angering an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse to the point of puking blood, this was simply unimaginable. But he just wanted to puke blood right now. ��Bloodpromise, what did you say just now? You look at this, is this called playing with fire and burning oneself? Blood Divine Son His Highness suppresses an era. How could some mere True Sovereign Heavens and Saint


    Sovereign Heavens kill him? Hahaha


    Feng Xiaotian was delighted to the extreme!


    Although this scene was bizarre, when his own people saw it, it was incomparably liberating.


    He never dreamed that this hopeless battle would actually turn into such a massacre!


    Borrowing the power of Dao tribulation and slaughtering over 100 thousand bloodkins!


    This was too wonderful!


    This feeling of pleasure was like having consumed some kind of nerve stimulant, making people feel like they were treading on air.


    Seeing Bloodpromise��s eyes that had collapsed, Feng Xiaotian felt too liberated.


    The power of blessing was the Extreme Medicine Sect��s highest secret. Outsiders did not know.


    But it was precisely because of this that everything became even more bizarre and unpredictable.


    A divergent cultivator, the Dao tribulation actually did not smite him?


    This simply subverted everyone��s understanding!


    Heaven One��s main camp, all the soldiers and generals were dumbfounded from watching, cries of marveling echoing throughout.


    ��This is also too impressive! It turns out that killing bloodkins can be so simple?��


    ��Simple? Did water enter your head? If you have the ability, try doing it!��


    ��Who cares whether it��s simple or not, Your Father only wants to yell right now! AHHHHHHHHHH!��


    Yes, too excited!


    During the past over 20 days, South Qi Giant City was in endless darkness.


    Each of them spent these over 20 days like they were in hell.


    But, just now, they felt as if they had ascended straight to paradise.


    This kind of extreme experience was truly incredible until it was indescribable.


    They were excited to the extreme right now.


    A whole army of 200 thousand!


    They were wiped out just like that by a Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    They fought for over 20 days in countless battles of desperation and paid an extremely terrible price, before barely managmg to wipe out 100 thousand bloodkins.


    But Ye Yuan alone exterminated an army of 200 thousand bloodkins!


    No idea how long had passed either; the tribulation cloud gradually dissipated, and the bloodkins under the tribulation cloud became fewer and fewer.


    In the end, not a single one remained.


    The blood race army of 130 thousand was completely dissipated into the world just like that.


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    After the excitement, everyone felt a hair-raising feeling.


    Today��s battle was truly a divine stroke of art!


    A Saint Sovereign Heaven entrapped an army of close to 200 thousand to death!


    This battle could absolutely enter the annals of history!


    ��Pffft!��


    Bloodpromise spewed out a mouthful of old blood, his entire aura suddenly withering significantly.


    This was truly anxiety striking the heart.


    The impact that today��s scene-by-scene reversal dealt to his mind was too great!


    Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan piercing through South Qi Giant City all alone by himself, Bloodpromise already acknowledged this Blood Divine Son in his heart at that time!


    But who could have thought that the Blood Divine Son was actually a human?


    This made him feel a setback of being played with.


    Counting the last time, he had already lost 300 thousand troops in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    Fighting with Heaven One these few thousand years, when had their blood race experienced such a terrible defeat before?


    In the past, if I could not win, I could revive.


    But this time, they did not even have the chance to revive!


    Over 300 thousand elites were directly turned into nothingness!


    ��Kill!��


    Just as the blood race Emperor Realm powerhouses�� minds were in deep shock, an explosive yell suddenly transmitted over. Feng Xiaotian brought the Heaven One Emperor Realms and charged right over.


    An entire army was completely wiped out, their chief commander puking blood, and the blood race��s momentum had already reached its lowest point.


    Even if they were all Emperor Realms, they also felt that life was murky gray at this time.


    Feng Xiaotian naturally would not let this chance slip by!


    Boom!


    Feng Xiaotian��s fists emerged like the wind, blowing up an Emperor Cloud Heaven with one punch!


    Heaven One Emperor Realms had an unstoppable momentum!


    Blood race Emperor Realms were dispirited and inert!


    This battle could not be fought anymore!


    ��Retreat! Quickly retreat!��


    Bloodpromise brought the remaining Emperor Realms and escaped frantically.


    Feng Xiaotian pursued at his heels, striking more than a dozen blood race Emperor Realms dead in a row.


    He only gave up after Bloodpromise, and the rest escaped into the passageway.


    Everything had settled!


    ��Heaven One is mighty! Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    ��Heaven One is mighty! Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    ��.


    In South Qi Giant City, thunderous cheers arose.


    This battle was won too beautifully!


    They could not suppress their emotions any longer and completely fell into wild ecstasy..

 Chapter 2899 - A Rare Respite!

    Chapter 2899 A Rare Respite!


    When the news spread out, Heaven One seethed with excitement!


    Before this battle started, everyone fell into pessimism, believing that this time, South Qi could not stop the blood race anymore.


    Who would have expected that there would be a turnaround!


    The blood race��s Blood Divine Son was actually a human!


    Ye Yuan, this name, spread throughout the 108 cities again, spreading throughout the entire Heaven One.


    It was because this battle was Heaven One��s unprecedented great victory.


    ��If not for seeing it with my own eyes, I��ll definitely think that this is a mythological story!��


    ��A human actually became the blood race��s Blood Divine Son! Our Lord Wang Zuo is probably vomiting blood right now, yeah?��


    ��Over 300 thousand elite troops slaughtered in one go! Among them, the True Sovereign Hundred Sons and Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons of this generation were all killed! This battle was truly an unprecedented great victory! Magnificent! Magnificent!��


    In South Qi Giant City, the people were excited to the extreme.


    Even if three months had passed after the matter, this enthusiasm continued unabated.


    At this time, Ye Yuan had already become a peerless figure in their eyes.


    If he was not such a figure, how could he possibly create such an astonishing victory under such desperate circumstances?


    However, this battle was indeed an illustrious feat.


    Ye Yuan deliberately brought the True Sovereign Hundred Sons and Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons over in order to round them up in one fell swoop.


    This way, the elites of this generation were virtually wiped out by him.


    Those remaining were nothing to worry about either.


    This was equivalent to saying that the blood race had a disjointed generated for at least ten years!


    During these ten years, they could forget about any heaven-defying figure appearing.


    A ten years�� period, it might not be much to Heavenly Stratum powerhouses, but to the blood race, they could create a large number of powerhouses.


    Without these top younger generation powerhouses, the blood race could not launch a large-scale offensive anymore.


    This battle had won at least several years of respite for the Heaven One Alliance!


    South Qi��s great victory had an extremely far-reaching impact!


    Not just South Qi, at this time, all of the Hegemon Realm powerhouses were shocked by the news this time.


    When Hegemon Cloudmount received the news of victory, he was stupefied for a while.


    The Blood Divine Son was Ye Yuan?


    This was also too amazing, right?


    He knew about the Blood Imitation Pill; he even personally examined Ye Yuan��s bloodline before.


    With his strength, if he really wanted to examine carefully, he could still see through some inkling.


    However, it would take some effort.


    Just by relying on divine sense to examine, one would not be able to tell.


    Ye Yuan knew about this too.


    This Blood Imitation Pill, if one really went to the blood race to play a supporting role, it did not pose much risk.


    But, if he was going to the Blood God Temple, that risk was huge.


    In the Blood God Temple, there were large numbers of Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    Ye Yuan was so eye-catching that it was hard to guarantee that no one would pay attention to him.


    This way, the risk was huge.


    Additionally, the Blood Divine Son could not be attained just by being Saint Sovereign number one!


    This guy actually went on a trip to the Blood God Temple and became the blood race��s Wang Zuo��s successor!


    Impressive!


    Truly impressive!


    This sort of thing, forget about a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, even he, this Hegemon Realm, did not dare to easily attempt it too!


    Not only did Ye Yuan do it, but it was also even accomplished by him, taking breaths away in astonishment!


    Inconceivable!


    He could no longer use words to describe his current shock.


    As for the other Hegemons, apart from envy, it was still envy.


    Was Ye Yuan��s performance shocking or not?


    Of course!


    Ye Yuan had rendered amazing contributions the moment he arrived at Heaven One Continent and even displayed a shocking talent.


    Even when Hegemon Realms saw him, they were quite moved too.


    But his identity as a divergent cultivator deterred the other Hegemons.


    A genius who was destined to not be able to step into Hegemon had no future.


    To Heaven One, if it was not a Hegemon Realm, it was completely meaningless.


    They only needed Hegemon Realms now!


    But now, Ye Yuan used his actions to slap their faces resoundingly.


    So what if not Hegemon?


    Ye Yuan did not need to become a Hegemon at all and rendered a contribution that made


    ��Cloudmount, you took in a good disciple!�� Divine Lord��s voice came from inside the Absolute Heaven Barrier, his tone full of complex emotions.


    In reality, when Ye Yuan rose up in Northern View City back then, he had been moved before too.


    But he still gave up.


    At this time, he was envious of Hegemon Cloudmount to death.


    With such a disciple, what more could one ask for!


    ��Hahaha, Divine Lord is too kind! A small matter, just a trivial matter! This kid is still far lacking! Youngsters mustn��t be praised too much. Otherwise, they will become proud! Uh, he just broke through to the True Sovereign Heaven. After he enters the Emperor Realm, it won��t be too late to praise him properly then!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount had a rare show of ��modesty.��


    It was just that his showing off had filled the entire Absolute Heaven Barrier!


    Those Hegemons wished to attack together and smack this trumpeting fellow to death.


    But they were really envious!


    One had to know, Ye Yuan��s heaven-defying performance did not just benefit Cloudmount!


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s prestige already reached the peak at this time in the Heaven One Alliance!


    It was because Ye Yuan came from the Extreme Medicine Sect!


    With prestige, there would be more genius and more resources!


    ��Enough! Old Fogey Cloudmount, that��s about enough!�� Hegemon Blacksun said in a solemn voice.


    ��Old Fogey Blacksun, you��re jealous!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said smugly.


    ��Who��s jealous! Just a divergent cultivator, is it worth this seat to be jealous?��


    ��You��re jealous!��


    ���� ����


    Fine, I��m really jealous!


    Divine Lord smiled and said, ��Forget about Old Fogey Blacksun, this divine lord is very envious too! The significance of this battle is too far-reaching! This great victory is sufficient to avert the influence of Fellow Daoist Edgeless�� demise to the lowest. At present, the True Sovereign Hundred Sons, Saint Sovereign Hundred Sons, have all fallen. This army of 300 thousand is the most elite squad of the blood race too. They had all fallen. The blood race won��t be able to launch a large-scale siege on cities for at least ten


    years.��


    ��Everyone, these ten years are the golden period for our development! No matter what, we must groom one or two Hegemon Realms within ten years! Ten years later, what awaits us will likely be an even fiercer war!��


    At this moment, all the Hegemons were shocked.


    Hegemons had never appeared in Heaven One before. This had a lot to do with the blood race��s frenzied attacks.


    All the Hegemon Realms were suppressed. They had no time to nurture new Hegemon Realms at all.


    Hegemon Realm was far too difficult.


    But now, for ten years�� time, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    At Blood God Temple, angry roars came out from the depths.


    A terrifying pressure teemed every inch of space.


    Lord Wang Zuo had completely rampaged!


    He personally gave the decree to let Ye Yuan become the Blood Divine Son!


    He had become a complete and utter joke!


    The successor that he personally chose was actually a human!


    Furthermore, it was even Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan, Lord Wang Zuo was too familiar with this name!


    Ever since this name entered the Blood God Temple��s field of vision, the blood race��s smooth-sailing journey seemed to have become choppy.


    The spatial passageway plan, South Qi Giant City��s plan, the plan to kill a Hegemon!


    Every one of them was just a little bit away from success!


    But in the end, it was all ruined in Ye Yuan��s hands!


    ��Ye Yuan! Ye Yuan! This seat is definitely going to tear your corpse to shreds and ground your bones to dust!��


    Lord Wang Zuo had never hated someone so much before.


    Ye Yuan was the first!


    Too ironic!


    His, Lord Wang Zuo��s, face was slapped over and over again by Ye Yuan!


    How disgraceful was this?


    An exalted Hegemon Realm, the blood race��s king, was actually toyed with in the palm of a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    This was simply unprecedented shame and humiliation!


    ��Order the Dark Night, mobilize origin powerhouses. They must kill Ye Yuan!�� Lord Wang Zuo��s gaze was cold as he said.


    The corners of Ye Wugui��s mouth twitched slightly and he said in a low voice, ��Lord Wang Zuo, please calm your anger. The Dark Night has already suffered heavy losses in order to kill Ye Yuan! They can��t �� be mobilized casually anymore! Otherwise, our hard work for these few thousand years will be forfeited entirely!��


    Wang Zuo��s entire body shook, only then, remembering that in order to kill Ye Yuan, the Dark Night had already lost dozens of Emperor Realm powerhouses!


    Vile spawn!


    Could this little vile spawn be this seat��s jinx?


    Ye Yuan!


    It was Ye Yuan everywhere!


    He suddenly looked at Ye Wugui and said in a cold voice, ��Ye Wugui, what the hell are you doing? A measly little human Saint Sovereign Heaven could even hide from your inspection?��


    This was venting anger.


    Ye Wugui gave a sigh and said, ��Wang Zuo, this �� He even deceived the mother stone!��


    Wang Zuo��s expression choked up, suddenly giving rise to a feeling of incomparable setback in his heart.


    Yeah, if not for the mother stone bestowing Ye Yuan the origin of blood, how could he give this order and slap his own face?


    What to do then?


    Blame the mother stone?


    The Lord Wang Zuo, who had uninterrupted success, actually felt at a loss on what to do currently.


    How helpless!

 Chapter 2900 - Taking the Initiative to Attack!

    Chapter 2900 Taking the Initiative to Attack!


    ��Brother Clearcloud, long time no see!�� When Feng Xiaotian saw the arrival, he shouted with a smile.


    Dozens of Emperor Realm powerhouses came toward them, the commotion very huge.


    These people were precisely transferred over from the various sects!


    There were over 100 thousand people who came to South Qi Giant City this time.


    The various major sects had virtually exhausted all that they had.


    The one in the front was precisely the Extreme Medicine Sect��s Extreme Light Pavilion��s head pavilion elder, Hegemon Cloudmount��s eldest disciple, Li Clearcloud.


    This time, even he moved out too.


    Seeing Feng Xiaotian, Li Clearcloud also greeted warmly and said with a smile, ��Little Tian, your strength seems to have grown stronger again! It looks like you��re not far from Hegemon Realm anymore!��


    Feng Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, ��Hegemon Realm is easier said than done! Brother Clearcloud��s strength is immense. Aren��t you lacking this opportunity too?��


    Li Clearcloud was not of the cowardly faction. Many years ago, Li Clearcloud had fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Feng Xiaotian before.


    It was just that at that time, Feng Xiaotian��s strength had not reached Emperor Sakra Heaven, and he was just a junior.


    But at that time, he was already a rising new


    star.


    Li Clearcloud��s gaze landed on Ye Yuan, his expression somewhat strange.


    When Feng Xiaotian saw the situation, he was about to introduce Ye Yuan to Li Clearcloud, but Ye Yuan beat him to it and said, ��I pay respects to Eldest Senior Brother!��


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted. Eldest senior brother?


    Wouldn��t that be ��


    Sure enough, Li Clearcloud gave a cold snort and got angry as he said, ��You, this fellow, you��re also messing around too much. Do you not want your life anymore?��


    Although he was angry, the concern in his words was not only expressed in words but also on his face.


    Ye Yuan bowed and said, ��Eldest Senior Brother lectured rightly. Ye Yuan won��t dare the next time.��


    Only when Li Clearcloud heard it did his expression become slightly better.


    Feng Xiaotian looked toward Ye Yuan and said with a bitter smile, ��Younger Brother Ye, you hid from this brother badly! It turns out that you��re actually Ancestor Cloudmount��s disciple!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Previously, it was also being compelled by circumstances. I hope that Brother Feng can forgive me.��


    But Feng Xiaotian sighed and said, ��Ancestor Cloudmount truly has discerning eyes like burning torches! His disciples are all astonishing like devas! Younger Brother Ye even surpasses the ancients and amazes the contemporaries!��


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s limelight was too strong.


    Over on the blood race��s certain-kill name list, he had likely long already ranked above Hegemon Cloudmount��s disciple, this status.


    Therefore, there was naturally no need to hide his identity anymore as well.


    But, once it was announced, there was another uproar.


    Everyone��s admiration for Ye Yuan spewed forth even more in an unceasing flow of words.


    As Hegemon Cloudmount��s disciple, he could originally have cultivated in the rear with peace of mind. Nobody would have said any gossip.


    But he entered the enemy camp by himself, creating this unprecedented great victory!


    It was not up to the people of the world to decide not to admire!


    ����


    In the City Lord Manor, South Qi��s upper echelons were all present.


    Feng Xiaotian said, ��With Brother Clearcloud holding down the fort in South Qi Giant City, this Feng��s heart can finally be set at ease! These few years, South Qi Giant City��s losses have been too heavy. Subsequently, we finally have time to hide our capabilities and bide our time!��


    An unprecedented great victory also let Feng Xiaotian breathe a sigh of relief.


    He knew that a brief period of peace had finally arrived.


    During these few centuries, South Qi Giant City had never relaxed for a moment.


    The blood race��s attacks continued uninterruptedly, not giving them any chance to catch their breath at all.


    Otherwise, South Qi Giant City also would not have been so arduous. Li Clearcloud also nodded and said, ��Little Tian has fought hard repeatedly. I believe that you have considerable harvests too. This time, you can go into a closed-seclusion and attempt to assault the Hegemon Realm! We desperately need a Hegemon Realm now!��


    Feng Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, ��I��m ashamed to speak of it, but while there were some gains, I still �� don��t have a clue with regards to the Hegemon Realm!��


    Others were trapped for tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands of years in front of this hurdle. Just how long did he take to assault the Hegemon Realm?


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan suddenly said, ��Brother Feng, Eldest Senior Brother, I feel that �� now isn��t the time to rest yet!��


    Li Clearcloud frowned and said, ��Little Junior Brother, what do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Now that Heaven One had a great victory, Giant Net City is empty. It��s precisely the perfect opportunity for us to strike! If we miss it this time, I��m afraid �� there won��t be an opportunity like this anymore!��


    ��Hiss ����


    The Emperor Realm powerhouses present all sucked in a breath of cold air.


    This big shot��s words were really hell-bent on shocking people to death!


    Taking the initiative to attack!


    It had been several thousand years. This was something that the Heaven One Alliance had never thought of!


    But it came out of Ye Yuan��s mouth!


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted, greatly stirred. But very soon, he suppressed this impulse.


    It was too risky!


    Li Clearcloud frowned and said, ��Little Junior Brother, I know that you��ve rendered a contribution without equal, but aren��t you being too overambitious and unrealistic by wanting to take the initiative to attack? It��s true that we won a fight, but the blood race isn��t some random Tom, Dick, or Harry that can be casually kneaded! The Heaven One Alliance can��t afford to mess around anymore!��


    These words were already somewhat heavy.


    But the people present all thought so. It was just that these words were more appropriate for Li Clearcloud to say.


    This time, the various major sects had virtually swarmed out in full force.


    These people were the final elites of the sect!


    If these people suffered losses, Heaven One would really not be able to resist anymore.


    Furthermore, the blood race��s terror was already deeply rooted in people��s hearts.


    Even a powerhouse like Li Clearcloud was extremely apprehensive of them too.


    For thousands of years, they had always been in a situation of being passively beaten.


    Taking the initiative to attack?


    You have got to be kidding!


    The blood race could afford to lose, but we could not bear the loss!


    Ye Yuan was indifferent as he said coolly, ��In order to kill Hegemon Edgeless, Hegemon Youjin is also seriously injured! At this moment, he��s at Giant Net City! Giant Net City��s true elites have already been slaughtered by me! Those remaining are nothing to fear! After a series of great battles, Giant Net City��s Emperor Realms have suffered heavy losses too! Now, with Eldest Senior Brother holding down the fort, we have new forces joining too! The blood race totally won��t expect that we will launch a surprise attack on Giant Net City! If we��re lucky, it��s also not impossible for us to kill Hegemon Youjin too! Eldest Senior Brother, the opportunity can��t be missed. An opportunity missed won��t come again!��


    Slay Hegemon You Jin!


    These words made everyone palpitate with excitement to do it.


    That was a Hegemon Realm!


    If they killed a blood race Hegemon Realm, that would be a contribution without equal!


    But could this really work?


    The Heaven One Alliance had not gone out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier for several thousand years ago.


    This resulted in everyone having an instinctively fear of beyond the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    But Ye Yuan��s analysis still moved them immensely.


    They knew that Ye Yuan was the Blood Divine Son. He knew the situation of the blood race very well.


    Do it or not?


    ��Why don��t �� we ask Divine Lord His Excellency for instructions?�� Li Clearcloud said hesitantly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Divine Lord won��t agree! This is the last of Heaven One��s cards. He won��t take this risk! But this risk is worth taking! Furthermore, the blood race won��t give us much time! Giant Net City is extremely important to the blood race too. They will definitely mobilize forces to replenish the lack of troops over here! We can only seize this time interval! Eldest Senior Brother, Brother Feng, if we don��t kill a Hegemon, our victory is completely meaningless! So what if there are ten years to catch our breaths? It��s merely eking out a meager existence! After ten days, the blood race will still stage a comeback! The chance to kill You Jin is only this one time! If we miss it, it will really slip by!��

 Chapter 2901 - Suppressing a City, Entire Army Sudden Raid!

    Chapter 2901 Suppressing a City, Entire Army Sudden Raid!


    This was the Heaven One army��s first time going out of Absolute Heaven in thousands of years!


    With 100 thousand soldiers, each carried a feeling of novelty and even more a strong sense of pride.


    We are the first batch out of Absolute Heaven!


    It turns out that outside of Absolute Heaven, there is such scenery!


    There were many among them who even had tears run down their cheeks.


    ��It��s been more than 5000 years. I finally set foot in my homeland! Sniff sniff �� Thank you so much, Master Ye!��


    A True Sovereign Heaven prostrated down to Ye Yuan, shedding tears of gratitude.


    He went to the Absolute Heaven Barrier back then and originally thought that he could never hope to return to his homeland again.


    He did not expect that today, he actually went out of Absolute Heaven!


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier was a powerful barrier, it blocked the blood race��s irons hoofs, but did it not block countless Heaven One martial artists too?


    All along, there were large numbers of blood race troops stationed outside of the passageways.


    But, after South Qi��s great victory, there were no more bloodkins outside of the passageways.


    Only then did they have the chance to go out of Absolute Heaven.


    An army of 100 thousand went forth in mighty contingents, rushing until they were under Giant Net City!


    The blood race was stunned!


    Did South Qi��s people go mad? Bloodpromise stood on top of the city walls. Looking at Feng Xiaotian, he laughed loudly and said, ��Feng Xiaotian, is your head spoiled? To actually dare come and invade Giant Net City?��


    Feng Xiaotian said coolly, ��Bloodpromise, today is your hour of doom!��


    Bloodpromise laughed loudly and said, ��Alright, bring it on! This seat wants to see what you��ll use to kill me!��


    Giant Net City did not have a city protecting grand array.


    But it was naturally impossible for the blood race to not have any methods when they built a giant city.


    In reality, the materials used to build Giant Net City were all specially manufactured by the blood race.


    Once there were enemies that came to invade, it could erupt with formidable power and could even cut down Emperor Realms!


    The power was not the slightest bit weaker than a grand array!


    This thing was called the Light of Blood Eye! ��Bloodpromise, you piece of trash, this liege is here. Why haven��t you knelt down to welcome me!�� Ye Yuan said in a clear voice.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, Bloodpromise��s two eyes turned red at once.


    It was true that when two enemies met, their eyes blazed with hatred!


    How many losses had he suffered at this guy��s hands?


    By the side, City Lord Su Mu even had monstrous blood energy surging to the sky, wishing to tear Ye Yuan to shreds alive.


    His good friend, Bloodsword, was killed because of a word from Ye Yuan!


    At that time, he only felt that having offended Blood Divine Son His Highness, he was helpless too.


    However, who knew that this fellow was actually Ye Yuan!


    Younger Brother Bloodsword, you died so unjustly!


    ��Pffft!�� Bloodpromise spurted out a mouthful of old blood once more.


    In this Giant Net City, he had been humiliated by Ye Yuan several times!


    Now, this guy actually still came to anger him!


    ��Ye Yuan, you dare go out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier? This seat will definitely kill you today!�� Bloodpromise��s two eyes were bright red as he said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Trash is trash. You��re nothing at all in my eyes! You Jin, you killed our Hegemon Edgeless. Today, I��ll have you repay a blood debt in blood!��


    At this time, You Jin was standing on top of the city walls too.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, he immediately understood in his heart.


    The Heaven One army came for him!


    A hint of a sneer surfaced at the corners of his mouth. This bunch of guys was also underestimating Hegemon Realms too much!


    Hegemon Realm, even if it was a seriously wounded Hegemon Realm, they were also not what a bunch of ants could provoke!


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Alright, this seat �� is waiting for you!��


    Bloodpromise even laughed mockingly and said, ��Reckless and blind thing! You really think that having become the Blood Divine Son, you��re very impressive? Hegemon Realms are existences that you cannot imagine!��


    ��Oh, is that so? Then �� I��m coming! Attack the city!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan roared. Over 100 thousand troops rushed in like a swarm of hornets.


    A hint of a cruel smile already flashed across the corners of Bloodpromise��s mouth.


    After the Light of Blood Eye erupted, it will be considered pretty good if half of your 100 thousand strong army can survive!


    Emperor Realms will have to die in swathes too!


    This is your final trump card, right?


    If all of them died here, will those Hegemons be in a lot of pain?


    Thinking up to here, Bloodpromise and You Jin were both incomparably delighted.


    South Qi��s great battle was seriously lost too oppressively!


    However, they never dreamed that the Heaven One army actually ran over on their own accord to seek death!


    One had to know, right now, there were still 300 thousand troops in Giant Net City!


    Although these people were much worse compared to those elites, under the help of the Light of Blood Eye, it was still more than sufficient to finish off these 100 thousand Heaven One elites!


    In reality, just the Saint Sovereign Heavens and True Sovereign Heavens within the jurisdiction of Giant Net City, the numbers already reached as high as several million.


    But Heaven One��s raid was seriously too sudden. Giant Net City did not have time to summon everyone to join the battle at all.


    Presently, there was only a standing army of 300 thousand in the city.


    However, it would suffice!


    Feng Xiaotian took the lead, bringing a group of Emperor Realms and rushing straight for Bloodpromise.


    The 100 thousand strong army also rushed toward the top of the city walls.


    Right at this time, Giant Net City erupted with a bloody light that rose to the sky, giving people a hair-raising feeling.


    An astonishing crisis welled up in everyone��s hearts.


    But their speed did not reduce in the slightest!


    Because Ye Yuan told them that they did not need to be scared. They should count on him for everything!


    If someone else said these, they would definitely turn their noses up in disdain!


    But with Ye Yuan saying this, they believed without a shadow of a doubt!


    This person had created an unprecedented great victory and created countless miracles!


    Not believing in him, who else could you believe in?


    When Bloodpromise saw this, he laughed loudly and said, ��A bunch of fools, could it be that Ye Yuan didn��t tell you guys that Giant Net City has the Light of Blood Eye? Die, fools!��


    However, a figure jumped up onto the top of the city walls first!


    Following that, an even more terrifying aura directly erupted.


    This was origin blood energy!


    Its degree of terror made even the bloodkins shudder!


    Then, the terrifying Light of Blood Eye actually directly retreated!


    When Bloodpromise saw this scene, his two eyes could not help going black, nearly fainting


    Even Hegemon You Jin��s pupils constricted too.


    I �� F*ck me!


    The Light of Blood Eye completely did not dare to erupt in front of the blood origin that the mother stone bestowed!


    The Light of Blood Eye was directly suppressed back by the origin aura that Ye Yuan erupted with!


    In reality, Ye Yuan already sensed this Light of Blood Eye at Giant Net City.


    This Light of Blood Eye was actually about the same as Heaven Absolute Blood Emperor City��s.


    It was just that the Light of Blood Eye here was much weaker.


    Ye Yuan had once attempted to slightly release a hint of blood origin aura.


    As a result, these Light of Blood Eye feared him like a tiger!


    At that time, Ye Yuan determined that his origin of blood could suppress Giant Net City��s Light of Blood Eye!


    Giving thanks to the Chaos Bloodstone, this wisp of blood origin was really useful! ��Pffft!��


    Bloodpromise spurted out another mouthful of old blood, he felt like he was almost dying!


    Mother stone, don��t scam your descendants like this!


    Isn��t this killing people?


    In reality, even Hegemon You Jin also did not know how strong the blood origin in Ye Yuan��s body was.


    At least, Hegemon You Jin was unable to suppress the Light of Blood Eye!


    But Ye Yuan could!


    It was because the origin of blood in his body was the most fundamental and purest origin of blood!


    One had to know, the entire blood race was created by the mother stone.


    In Bloodpromise��s heart, a myriad of curses galloped across.


    The blood race was actually scammed by the mother stone!


    When the Heaven One army saw the Light of Blood Eye being suppressed, their imposing momentum skyrocketed significantly!


    Feng Xiaotian and the rest of the Emperor Realms were wildly ecstatic too!


    Honestly speaking, they more or less still had some misgivings before this.


    The blood race��s methods were impossible to guard against.


    But now, their misgivings were all gone!


    Looking at Bloodpromise��s expression, everyone knew that he was extremely surprised too.


    The Blood Divine Son was indeed different!


    Ye Yuan was really the savior that Heaven sent to save Heaven One!


    Impressive!


    Hegemon You Jin��s gaze turned slightly dark. He was going to take action! Although seriously injured, it was still not a problem to deal with the likes of Feng Xiaotian.


    But right at this time, a figure landed not far from him and said coolly, ��You Jin, your opponent is me!��

 Chapter 2902 - Creating Another Shocking Victory!

    Chapter 2902 Creating Another Shocking Victory!


    ��Li Clearcloud? You actually haven��t died under the Dao tribulations! Huhu, just the likes of you also want to kill me?�� You Jin looked at the arrival, full of disdain.


    He naturally knew Li Clearcloud. In reality, the two had fought many times.


    But in the end, You Jin was still one step ahead, stepping into Hegemon Realm.


    Li Clearcloud was still blocked outside the door of Hegemon Realm until now.


    With regards to Li Clearcloud, You Jin was naturally disdainful.


    Li Clearcloud said coolly, ��If you were at your prime, I��m naturally not your match. But �� since you��re seriously wounded by the Absolute Heaven Barrier��s power, this is a god-sent opportunity to kill you!��


    You Jin said disdainfully, ��No matter how seriously injured, this seat is a Hegemon too! You, a trash who can��t even reach Hegemon, want to kill me too?��


    Li Clearcloud said coolly, ��Wouldn��t you know after trying!��


    Finished saying, Li Clearcloud pointed a finger, the power of origin came rolling in!


    The terrifying pressure made everyone��s expression change drastically.


    Among them, it naturally included You Jin!


    He had a look of horror as he said, ��Nine origins! You �� You actually comprehended nine origins!��


    Li Clearcloud ignored You Jin��s horror and pointed a tyrannical finger at You Jin.


    Divine ability, Nine Absolutes Life-Seizing Finger!


    You Jin was horrified, blood energy in his body surging to the sky, desperately wanting to stop this finger.


    The composure just now had disappeared without a trace.


    What replaced it was a look of alarm and fear.


    Boom!


    The bloody light on You Jin��s body directly had a large hole punched through by Li Clearcloud, his entire person being pierced through


    This finger was fearsome to the extreme.


    It was also Ye Yuan��s first time seeing Li Clearcloud attack. It was truly breathtaking to the extreme.


    This was probably the number one person under Hegemon, right?


    ��Is this a divine ability? Indeed amazing! Presently, I have the power of origin in my body too. I wonder if I can comprehend a divine ability or not!��


    Ye Yuan looked at Li Clearcloud, who was practically poking a hole in the sky. His thoughts could not refrain from flying elsewhere.


    Divine abilities were the martial techniques used by Hegemon Realm powerhouses, the power formidable to the extreme.


    Although Li Clearcloud was not Hegemon Realm yet, he comprehended nine origins. His strength could virtually rival some of the weaker Hegemon Realms already.


    For Ye Yuan to dare come and kill a Hegemon, his greatest reliance was naturally Li Clearcloud.


    However, not all Hegemon Realms could comprehend a divine ability.


    Divine abilities were somewhat similar to the true spirit race��s innate divine abilities.


    It was just that origin powerhouses needed a lucky chance to comprehend divine ability. Hegemon Realms with divine abilities, their strength was naturally a great deal stronger than Hegemon Realms without divine abilities.


    Li Clearcloud already grasped a divine ability in the origin realm. It truly took everyone��s breath away.


    When Feng Xiaotian saw this scene, he also muttered, ��That��s a true divine ability technique! Once Brother Clearcloud enters Hegemon Realm, he��d likely be able to instantly kill same rank Hegemons! Impressive! Impressive!��


    ��That��s a divine ability? How strong!��


    ��Shattered a Hegemon Realm with one finger, really too impressive!��


    ��Heh heh, today��s battle, we��re destined to shock the world!��


    ����


    Swoosh!


    A surge of blood light rose to the sky. You Jin was going to escape!


    Li Clearcloud laughed heartily and chased after with a lunge.


    It was only to hear extremely terrifying fighting sounds coming over from the horizon, making people quake in their boots.


    And over here, it was virtually a one-sided massacre!


    Blood light shone brightly on Ye Yuan��s body, charging into the army all by himself, akin to a no man��s land.


    His thick accumulations erupted. After breaking through to True Sovereign Heaven, he charged to peak lower True Sovereign Heaven in one stroke.


    Under grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, few were his match.


    When Ye Yuan was still only upper Saint Sovereign Heaven back then, he was already invincible in Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    Now, he was naturally even more powerful.


    And he drained two blood pools in succession. His bloodline power was already strong until it was incapable of further increase too.


    Under a punch, even if it was a True Sovereign Heaven, they would be directly one-shotted too.


    With him around, the fights below Emperor Realm seemed to go much more smoothly, especially since this 100 thousand strong army was Heaven One Alliance��s elite martial artists to begin with!


    As soon as the army arrived, they swept away all obstacles in the way.


    It was the Emperor Realm fights that appeared a little worrisome.


    But at this time, Feng Xiaotian similarly had an unparalleled divine might, fighting until Bloodpromise vomited blood repeatedly.


    Just as Ye Yuan expected, after consecutive battles, the blood race��s Emperor Realms had similarly suffered heavy losses.


    But on Heaven One��s side, many new fresh blood were injected.


    On the Emperor Realms�� side, it was still Heaven One who occupied an absolute advantage.


    The conclusion seemed to already have been destined!


    While at this time, in the Absolute Heaven Barrier, the Hegemons had lost composure!


    Receiving the news that came over from South Qi Giant City, Hegemon Cloudmount was virtually going nuts.


    ��This little scoundrel, is he mad? The power of the Light of Blood Eye, even Emperor Realm powerhouses can��t withstand it too! He led this 100 thousand strong army. Isn��t it going to court death? Moreover, no matter how injured a Hegemon Realm is, that��s also a Hegemon Realm! Li Clearcloud, that bastard, actually accompanied Ye Yuan to go crazy together! I-It��s angering this seat to death!�� Hegemon Realm Cloudmount let loose a torrent of abuse.


    This bunch of guys actually directly went out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier without even giving any heads-up! The previous victory was by relying on the power of the city protecting grand array.


    Did these damn things really think that they were invincible under the heavens?


    ��Humph! Old Man Cloudmount, fine disciples that you��ve taught! It��s fine if they die, but if this army of 100 thousand is lost, your Extreme Medicine Sect will become a sinner!�� Hegemon Blacksun��s voice came over.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s face turned black, but this time, he surprisingly did not rebut.


    Divine Lord was full of anxiety as he said, ��This battle, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory too! Many people have never experienced the prowess of the Light of Blood Eye. With the enhancement of the Light of Blood Eye, Giant Net City��s 200 thousand strong army will become ferocious savages! This time, Feng Xiaotian and Ye Yuan are really messing around too much!��


    Hesitating for a moment, Hegemon Pinespring said, ��Master, Little Junior Brother was once the blood race��s Blood Divine Son. He should understand the blood race��s tricks a little. Perhaps he has a way to deal with the Light of Blood Eye?��.


    ��Huhu, Light of Blood Eye, even if it��s us Hegemons, we can only forcefully destroy it too. It can��t be suppressed at all! Can he, a measly little True Sovereign Heaven, really overturn the heavens?�� Hegemon Blacksun said with a cold smile.


    ��What Brother Blacksun said is right! Ye Yuan has indeed created many miracles, but this time, it��s too reckless! I heard that going out of Absolute Heaven this time was him strongly pushing for it. How preposterous!�� another Hegemon said.


    ��In my view, Ye Yuan has probably let the consecutive victories get to his head! Right now, he probably already doesn��t even know what he��s surnamed, right? Blood Divine Son, huhu, what a great title!��


    ����


    The group of Hegemons was extremely furious at this time.


    South Qi Giant City actually went to attack arbitrarily without even giving any notification.


    It was simply not showing them, these Hegemons, any respect!


    Over 100 thousand elites!


    Once they died at Giant Net City, the consequences were simply unimaginable!


    Facing such a circumstance, Hegemon Cloudmount felt tremendous pressure too.


    These few days, he really showed off to the extreme.


    Who knew that in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan sold him out!


    Furthermore, Li Clearcloud, this scoundrel, actually accompanied Ye Yuan, a little fellow, to mess around!


    Right at this time, a figure sped over from the horizon.


    ��Giant Net City great victory! Giant Net City great victory! Hegemon You Jin was killed! An astonishing great victory!��

 Chapter 2903 - Hegemons Shocked!

    Chapter 2903 Hegemons Shocked!


    ��You Jin �� is dead?�� Divine Lord muttered to himself and did not come back to his senses for some time.


    The Absolute Heaven Barrier that was still kicking up a great fuss earlier instantly became quiet.


    Hegemon Blacksun even felt his face burn fiery hot. Just now, he condemned Ye Yuan the hardest, wishing to go down in person to smack Ye Yuan to death.


    But now �� You Jin was actually dead!


    This was the first blood race Hegemon Realm that died since the Absolute Heaven Barrier was established!


    This significance was too great!


    ��Dead! Dead until he can��t be deader! Hegemon You Jin died, Bloodpromise escaped with heavy injuries, killed more than 30 blood race Emperor Realms, and 130 thousand people below Emperor Realm! While we only lost less than 3000 men! This battle��s result is even more glorious than South Qi��s great victory!��


    Zang Feihong��s entire body trembled agitatedly. When he received the war report, he thought that he had heard wrongly.


    This was too miraculous!


    Originally, South Qi��s great victory was already a battle result that he could not imagine.


    But this time, a Hegemon was actually killed!


    Killing a Hegemon, the significance was extraordinary.


    Forget about 300 thousand troops; even if it was 30 million troops, 300 million troops, it could not match up to a Hegemon Realm in importance too!


    How many Saint Sovereign Heavens did the blood race have?


    In a Giant Net City, there were eight million taking part in the hundred sons battle!


    Three continents, Saint Sovereign Heavens were calculated in hundreds of millions!


    But, among so many Saint Sovereign Heavens, not a single Hegemon Realm could emerge too!


    One had to know, in these few thousand years, the blood race merely produced five Hegemon Realms too.


    It could be seen how much importance a Hegemon Realm held!


    Now, a Hegemon Realm had actually fallen. How could Zang Feihong not be agitated?


    Divine Lord felt that even his breathing had become ragged.


    A powerhouse like him, what kind of violent storm and wave had he not seen before?


    But this time, he was really shocked!


    ��Less than 3000 people died? This �� How is this possible? The blood race��s Light of Blood Eye is comparable to our city protecting grand array! S-So few people actually died?�� Divine Lord felt that his worldview had been completely subverted.


    Zang Feihong said agitatedly, ��Ye Yuan obtained blood origin from god knows where. The moment his blood origin activated, the Light of Blood Eye was directly suppressed! Then �� it was a massacre! Li Clearcloud faced-off against the heavily wounded You Jin, fought fiercely for a day and night, and finally cut him down!��


    When all the Hegemons heard it, it was as if they were listening to a book from heaven.


    Blood origin!


    Directly suppressed!


    You have got to be kidding!


    ��W-Where did he get blood origin? Furthermore, even if there��s blood origin, it can��t suppress the Light of Blood Eye too, right?�� Divine Lord felt that his brain could not quite wrap itself around it.


    Zang Feihong smiled bitterly and said, ��About this, I don��t know. Your Excellencies had better go ask him personally.��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Before Zang Feihong��s voice faded, Hegemon Cloudmount��s unbridled laughter spread out.


    Too satisfying!


    Just earlier, he even had the thought of running to the blood race to go and risk his life.


    Who would have thought that there would be a turnaround!


    His two disciples actually gave him such massive good news!


    Hearing Hegemon Cloudmount��s laughter, the other Hegemons shut up sensibly.


    This face-slapping was too freaking resounding!


    Just now, everyone was berating Ye Yuan bitterly, saying it like Ye Yuan was a fool who was overambitious and unrealistic.


    In the end, they were slapped wildly.


    Overambitious and unrealistic?


    Try killing a Hegemon Realm by being overambitious!


    ��You all, this bunch of fellows, you wished to drown Your Father in spittle just now! Now, do you have a feeling of getting slapped in the face? Which of Your Father��s disciples aren��t talents that shock the world? Forget about your disciples; you people assume airs every day. Have you killed an Hegemon Realm before? Mn? Sending troops out of South Qi, sweeping across Giant Net, satisfying! Satisfying! Hahaha ����


    Hegemon Cloudmount felt refreshed to the extreme, wishing to slap the faces of the others.


    It was just that he had forgotten, just now, he had rebuked Ye Yuan and Li Clearcloud too.


    However, there was already no one who cared about this.


    All the Hegemon Realms were shocked by this shocking great victory.


    ����


    It was still Ye Yuan��s first time entering the Absolute Heaven Barrier. He could not help marveling in amazement.


    Combining the power of dozens of Hegemon Realms, this Absolute Heaven Barrier was truly built with superlative craftsmanship, its power boundless.


    If not for the Hegemons intentionally letting him in, even if it was an origin powerhouse, they would be ground to dust by this power too.


    Suddenly, one illusory figure after another appeared around him, instantly giving him enormous pressure.


    Dozens of Hegemon Realms, what kind of terrifying power was this!


    Although, in reality, these were all a wisp of clones from the Hegemons.


    Ye Yuan felt that even the Li Clearcloud and Feng Xiaotian next to him, their expressions became unnatural too.


    Hegemon Realm and Emperor Realm, the gap was too big!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance, 63 Hegemon Realms!


    This should be all of Heaven One��s strength.


    ��Hahaha �� Terrific lad, you really gained face for Master! Well done! Beautifully executed!�� Cloudmount immediately let out a loud laugh when he saw Ye Yuan.


    The expressions of the others all seemed rather unnatural.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You Jin was killed by Eldest Senior Brother. It��s him who gained face for Master!��


    Li Clearcloud shot Ye Yuan a glare and said, ��Don��t give me that! Could it be that I, this eldest senior brother, can still snatch credit with Little Junior Brother? It was you who advocated it strongly, mobilizing forces out of South Qi and attacking Giant Net! It was also you who suppressed the Light of Blood Eye, sweeping away all under Emperor Realm, that I could cut You Jin down. If he relied on the Light of Blood Eye, I really wouldn��t have been able to kill him!��


    This was like Bloodpromise attacking South Qi in the past. Feng Xiaotian could resist three to five origin powerhouses by relying on the power of the grand array!


    You Jin was a Hegemon Realm powerhouse to begin with. If he relied on the power of the Light of Blood Eye, blocking Li Clearcloud was still a cinch.


    Listening to these two apprentice brothers declining modestly, the other Hegemons had indescribable feelings.


    Consecutive great victories, the limelight had all been snatched away by Cloudmount��s lineage.


    This fellow was really like the noonday sun currently.


    Bringing up a Hegemon Realm, an origin powerhouse who could kill a Hegemon Realm, and also, an even more monstrous one that ran to the blood race and became the blood race��s Blood Divine Son.


    This was too demoralizing.


    ��Alright, alright. Your contributions, the alliance will naturally make a judgment. Don��t need to argue any more. Ye Yuan, this lord asks you, what��s the deal with your blood origin?�� Divine Lord asked


    Mentioning this, Ye Yuan��s face revealed a hint of solemness.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s expression changed, the other Hegemons also felt a chill run down their backs.


    After Ye Yuan finished talking about the Chaos Bloodstone, the expressions of the Hegemons all became solemn.


    The joy of the great victory was also swept away clean. What replaced it was deep worry.


    They thought that the blood race��s strongest person was Wang Zuo.


    Who knew that the blood race was actually born from a Chaos Bloodstone!


    Judging from what Ye Yuan described, once this evil stone hatched, it would surely be a calamity!


    Hegemon Cloudmount looked at Ye Yuan and only said after some time, ��You brat �� you��re really messing around too much! Do you know that you��re treating your life as a joke?��


    Although Ye Yuan played it down, what kind of character was Hegemon Cloudmount? How could he not know the dangers involved?


    This Chaos Bloodstone was the mother stone of the blood race. Its power could be seen at a glance!


    Playing schemes with this thing, it was equivalent to dancing on the edge of a knife.


    Any slip-ups and that would be a fatal consequence.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually succeeded!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The arrow was notched on the bow and have no choice but to release it! Such a massive secret, how can it do if I don��t personally go and take a look? Although it was a little dangerous, there were some harvests when all things were considered. This wisp of blood origin rendered a great contribution.��


    The group of Hegemons was speechless. A puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven actually conned a trace of blood origin from the blood race��s mother stone!


    Too freaking impressive!


    Divine Lord mused for a moment and said, ��Ye Yuan, can you let this lord take a look at this blood origin?��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly, the origin of blood in his body suddenly erupting.


    The expressions of all the Hegemons instantly changed.


    Divine Lord��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��This �� What pure power of origin! No wonder, no wonder you can suppress the Light of Blood Eye! This Chaos Bloodstone is too terrifying!��


    Those present were all Hegemon Realms. They were too familiar with the power of origin.


    They had fought countless times with the blood race��s powerhouses and similarly understood the origin of blood extremely well.


    But, even if it was Wang Zuo��s power of origin, it was also not as pure as this wisp!


    This was the real origin power of blood!


    Looking at a leopard through a tube, to see only one spot. They were able to imagine the horror of that chaos bloodstone.


    ��Once this Chaos Bloodstone is born, that will surely be the disaster of all the heavens! How can there be such a monstrous thing in this world? The blood race has really concealed things so deeply!�� Hegemon Chaos Bloodstone said with an emotional sigh.


    The other Hegemons nodded one after another. They felt pressure too.


    But, following that, it was deep helplessness.


    They were powerless to change this situation.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Seniors, if my guesses are right, Wang Zuo will definitely request the Chaos Bloodstone to take back this wisp of blood origin! I came here to request everyone to take action and help me to suppress this wisp of blood origin! Also, just nice, everyone can take this opportunity to gauge the Chaos Bloodstone��s strength.��


    In reality, Ye Yuan also did not know the Chaos Bloodstone��s strength.


    He only knew that it was very strong. But just how strong, his realm was too low, and he was unable to perceive it at all.


    But these Hegemons could gauge it!

 Chapter 2904 - Chaos Bloodstone Makes a Move! Peak Showdown!

    Chapter 2904 Chaos Bloodstone Makes a Move! Peak Showdown!


    Lord Wang Zuo exploded once more!


    His roar spread throughout the entire Blood God Temple��s space.


    ��Ye Yuan�� two words seemed particularly grating on the ears.


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter.


    Giant Net City was leveled to the ground. This was really a slap to the blood race��s face.


    For thousands of years, when had the blood race suffered such a miserable defeat before?


    What was even more damning was that Ye Yuan relied on the origin of blood to suppress the Light of Blood Eye. That was how he attained an unprecedented great victory.


    This was really a joke!


    The mother stone acknowledged Ye Yuan and bestowed Ye Yuan the origin of blood.


    Then Ye Yuan used the origin of blood and ravaged the blood race, eliminating Hegemon You Jin.


    This victory was simply a huge irony!


    Wang Zuo��s face burned fiery hot.


    He hated it!


    He never dreamed that Ye Yuan actually really dared to lead the Heaven One army to raid Giant Net City.


    But what could I do?


    Can I go and tell the mother stone: You idiot, you picked the wrong person!/ please keep reading on Myb0xn0vel(d0t)c0m.


    Isn��t this courting death?


    But now, it was out of the question if he did not go. Ye Yuan��s existence was a huge latent danger. He had to tell the mother stone that it was wrong!


    After calming down, Wang Zuo held fidgety emotions as he stepped into the void.


    The beating of the heart was still going strong


    Wang Zuo took a deep breath, a faintly discernible undulation transmitted out of his body. This was Wang Zuo��s communication method with the mother stone.


    Suddenly, that powerful beating suddenly stopped.


    The entire void space was actually going to collapse.


    At the same time, the entire Blood God Temple started trembling.


    ��What is going on? I-Is the sky going to fall?�� In the Blood God Temple many people did not know the inner reason and started panicking.


    And those blood race core powerhouses, each and every one had solemn expressions.


    They knew that the mother stone was enraged.


    Wang Zuo knelt down before the Chaos Bloodstone, breaking out into a cold sweat.


    The pressure that the Chaos Bloodstone gave him was too great!


    He knew that this was the consequence.


    The paramount mother stone was actually blind!


    How humiliating was this!


    Even Lord Wang Zuo trembled with fear in front of the Chaos Bloodstone. That puny little Saint Sovereign Heaven actually cheated it of its origin of blood!


    To the Chaos Bloodstone, this was unprecedented humiliation!


    That ant-like little fellow?


    Too weak!


    It could turn him to ashes with a thought.


    But it was such an ant that actually conned him of a trace of blood origin.


    No idea how long had passed either, the Chaos Bloodstone finally quietened down.


    The originally crumbling void actually started to be repaired.


    An intangible undulation transmitted out of the Chaos Bloodstone.


    Wang Zuo groveled, another series of fluctuations transmitting out, recounting the entire matter of Ye Yuan.


    The Chaos Bloodstone fell into silence.


    Clearly, this little fellow surprised him greatly.


    However, no matter how formidable, he was also just a little fellow.


    In front of absolute power, any schemes were all futile.


    Suddenly, a drop of blood essence floated out of the Chaos Bloodstone. It was precisely that drop of blood essence from Ye Yuan��s body.


    When Wang Zuo saw it, he could not help being overjoyed.


    Ye Yuan was dead for sure!


    A series of blood-colored light halos transmitted out of the Chaos Bloodstone, entering that drop of blood essence.


    Wang Zuo had an excited look. Killing Ye Yuan had practically already become his top priority.


    Once the mother stone made a move, that punk absolutely could not escape.


    This drop of blood essence was the hostage!


    What was laughable was that Ye Yuan actually dared to hand his blood essence over to the mother stone.


    Using this drop of blood essence, the mother stone would be able to deal a backlash to the original body, directly killing the other party.


    But, one breath, ten breaths, a hundred breaths passed.


    The Chaos Bloodstone did not have any activities.


    What the hell?


    Did killing a True Sovereign Heaven need so long?


    Bang!


    That drop of blood essence exploded, instantly turning into nothingness.


    The Chaos Mother Stone that had already calmed down became enraged again.


    Wang Zuo had a stunned face.


    What was going on?


    The mother stone could not kill Ye Yuan?


    An undulation spread out, and Wang Zuo instantly understood.


    This drop of blood essence was not Ye Yuan��s!


    Wang Zuo could not help drawing a breath of cold air.


    This �� was too inconceivable!


    Ye Yuan used other people��s blood essence to pass himself off?


    Furthermore, it actually even worked!


    What kind of existence was the Chaos Bloodstone? He knew all too well!


    A powerful existence capable of creating a race was absolutely an existence that saw through all life penetratingly.


    But it was actually deceived by a little fellow who did not even reach the Emperor Realm!


    Of course, if he knew that the wisp of Dao sword that Ye Yuan left behind was currently lying dormant in the Chaos Bloodstone quietly, he would definitely be even more shocked.


    Another ripple of undulation spread out. Wang Zuo roused himself again.


    There was still the origin of blood!


    The blood essence was not Ye Yuan��s, but the origin of blood was given to Ye Yuan!


    Clearly, the Chaos Bloodstone was truly enraged.


    A powerful origin power came off from it, directly passing through the void and reaching into the distance.


    Far-reaching, unrestrained, but with boundless power!


    ��It��s here!��


    Ye Yuan��s entire body trembled, directly spewing out a mouthful of blood mist.


    That force had not arrived yet, and he already felt a boundless pressure.


    The expressions of the Hegemons instantly changed.


    Too strong!


    ��Is �� Is this the power of the Chaos Bloodstone? There��s actually still such a terrifying existence hidden in the blood race! Too scary!�� Divine Lord��s hair stood on end, feeling enormous pressure.


    ��So strong! How can there be such a terrifying existence in this world?��


    ��What an evil power! Once this thing is born, I��m afraid that the entire 33 Heavens will be plunged into despair.��


    This power of origin was tyrannical to the extreme.


    The Chaos Bloodstone stopped concealing itself. It also had no need to hide anymore.


    The origin of blood was already bestowed on Ye Yuan. The Heaven One��s various races naturally knew about his existence too.


    Within Ye Yuan��s body, that wisp of blood origin was already eager to cause trouble, virtually breaking out of his body.


    Once it emerged, it would definitely blow his entire body up.


    On Ye Yuan��s body, his skin started splitting apart, blood mist spurting out like it was free.


    ��What are you still in a stupor for? Still not making a move, Ye Yuan is going to die!�� Hegemon Cloudmount roared, a boundlessly powerful origin power flooding out crazily, directly injecting into Ye Yuan��s body


    The others also abruptly startled awake, one powerful origin power after another directly firing into Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan only felt that there were countless powerful gases within his body that were currently circling around crazily.


    These powerful gases were like one bomb after another that could blow him into smithereens at any time.


    One power of origin after another suppressed the origin of blood.


    At this time, the insides of Ye Yuan��s body had already become a battlefield.


    The battlefield for the group of Hegemons and the Chaos Bloodstone to wrestle with strength!


    This was completely dancing on the edge of a knife. A single misstep and Ye Yuan would die until not even dregs remained.


    This was a soundless battlefield. It would not shock the heavens and make the earth quake.


    But it was absolutely dangerous to the extreme.


    Very soon, the Chaos Bloodstone��s power of origin suddenly descended.


    That feeling was like a giant battleship had covered the sky and blotted out the sun as it descended!


    It was as if the end of the world had come!


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes went dark, almost fainting away.

 Chapter 2905 - Mutual Destruction!

    Chapter 2905 Mutual Destruction!


    Ye Yuan felt like his dantian was about to explode.


    A tremendous power was towing the origin of blood, wanting to pull it out of his body.


    Fortunately, dozens of Hegemon Realms made a move at the same time.


    This power was sufficient to obliterate heaven and decimate the earth!


    It was also Ye Yuan��s first time feeling the power of Hegemons�� origin power!


    That kind of power originated from Heavenly Dao and carried the might of heaven.


    This feeling undoubtedly had tremendous benefits for Ye Yuan.


    In the future, it had tremendous reference significance when he stepped into the origin realm or even the Hegemon Realm.


    But at this time, he could not care less.


    He was currently like a grinding disc, being scrubbed back and forth by two formidable forces.


    Want to die!


    This was Ye Yuan��s only feeling at this time.


    Too strong!


    Although the collision this time was not a physical showdown, the showdown of origins held other dangers!


    He spurted blood fog from his mouth wildly, instantly falling into the brink of death.


    And right at this time, a powerful life force poured into his physical body, healing his injuries frenziedly.


    ��Guard your heart. Bring out your Dao sword and suppress the origin of blood! This thing is very important to both you and us. We mustn��t let him take it back!�� Hegemon Cloudmount��s words sounded in Ye Yuan��s ears.


    This life force was extremely strong. Although his physical body was constantly being destroyed, it was also being frenziedly healed.


    The power of a Hegemon was unimaginable!


    Ye Yuan��s heart stirred slightly, hurriedly converging his mind, Dao sword suspending in his dantian, suppressing the origin of blood.


    This wisp of blood origin was not strong. Ye Yuan��s strength was sufficient to suppress it.


    The Chaos Bloodstone had high regard for Ye Yuan because of the aura of the Dao sword. It naturally would not harm him.


    This wisp of blood origin was just to help him comprehend the Dao of origin. But it became incomparably berserk under the Chaos Bloodstone��s calling, desperately wanting to break free from Ye Yuan��s constraints.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao sword burst forth with a powerful pressure, forcibly suppressing this origin power in his dantian.


    As for the outside world��s raging storm, that was not something that he could intervene in.


    Presumably, with dozens of Hegemons joining hands, it would not be to an extent of being unable to deal with a Chaos Bloodstone, right?


    After all, this was not his main body descending in person.


    Sure enough, in both sides�� origin battle, the Heaven One Hegemons took the upper hand very quickly.


    Especially Divine Lord as well as Hegemon Cloudmount, Hegemon Blacksun, these few. Their strength was really formidable to the extreme.


    It was also Ye Yuan��s first time feeling Divine Lord��s strength. His power of origin was like a dazzling sun, beating everyone��s power of origin.


    But this silent confrontation was dangerous to the extreme.


    If not for Hegemon Cloudmount protecting Ye Yuan, he would long have been wrecked into residues.


    Although they took the upper hand, each Hegemon��s face had solemnity written all over it.


    There were dozens of Hegemons taking action at the same time!


    This kind of terrifying line-up was sufficient to obliterate heaven and decimate the earth. It actually merely suppressed the Chaos Bloodstone!


    The other party was too strong!


    ��This thing is too strong! If its main body descended in person, we can��t resist at all!�� Divine Lord��s face revealed an unprecedented solemn expression.


    Hegemon Blacksun also said in a solemn voice, ��What the hell is this thing? Its wicked aura is surging to the sky! If this thing is born, I��m afraid that it will be able to sweep across the 33 Heavens on its own!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said, ��This thing coexists with the blood race. The stronger the blood race is, the greater his strength! Now, the momentum of its rise is probably unstoppable already!�� With one sentence, everyone fell silent.


    This was a huge crisis!


    ��This is no longer our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s affair! We must break through the boundary wall and announce to all the heavens and deal with the blood race together! At this rate, it��s not impossible for the 33 Heavens to fully fall into the enemy��s hands!�� Hegemon Blacksun said.


    Divine Lord said in a solemn voice, ��It��s no use! I��ve long contacted the fellow daoists in the other heavens, but I can��t contact them at all now! Most likely, the crisis of the boundary wall has already swept throughout all the heavens! Furthermore, with our current situation, we can��t break through the boundary wall at all!��


    ��I��ll go!�� Suddenly a voice interrupted.


    The group of Hegemons were taken aback and could not help looking at Ye Yuan in surprise.


    You, a lower True Sovereign Heaven, wanted to traverse through the heavens?


    You��re kidding me!


    But Ye Yuan did not have this self-awareness and said in a solemn voice, ��No matter what, we should make a trip to the heavens! Fighting the enemy separately like this, we��ll only each be routed by the blood race in the end! Even if I bring back some news, it will be of tremendous help to us too!��


    His words made the group of Hegemons fall silent.


    Back then, when the Labyrinth Divine Palace swept throughout the heavens, it provoked all the heavens�� Hegemons to join forces before they managed to suppress it.


    But currently, all the heavens were fighting the enemy on their own and were unable to resist the blood race at all.


    One shouldn��t look at how the Heaven One Alliance achieved successive victories currently. Those were just miracles created by Ye Yuan by relying on numerous means.


    But this kind of miracle actually only affected those below the Emperor Realm.


    The battle situation above Emperor Realm did not change in the slightest.


    Even if a Hegemon was killed, Heaven One was still in an absolute weak state of affairs.


    Furthermore, the blood race became increasingly stronger, the end result would still be the Absolute Heaven Barrier being breached and Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven falling into the enemy��s hands!


    This kind of outcome, everyone was actually mentally prepared since a long time ago.


    It was just a matter of time.


    Divine Lord nodded and said, ��What Ye Yuan said is right. We should make a trip to the various heavens! It��s just ����


    Ye Yuan said, ��Just let Master Cloudmount assist me. I��ll naturally have a way to pass through the boundary wall!��


    When the group of Hegemons heard, they were extremely surprised.


    Sending a True Sovereign Heaven out of the boundary wall, this was simply a fantasy tale!


    Everyone was currently discussing it when Ye Yuan��s expression suddenly changed.


    The origin of blood within his body became berserk once again!


    ��Sh*t, that guy wants to detonate the origin of blood!�� Hegemon Cloudmount cried out in alarm.


    At the outside world, the Chaos Bloodstone also became extremely irascible after suffering a silent loss?


    Detonating the origin of blood caused tremendous harm to his main body too.


    Unless there were no alternatives, he did not want to as well.


    But at this time, he felt that he was being schemed against by Ye Yuan in all manner. This time, he even mobilized dozens of Hegemon Realm powerhouses to encircle and suppress him. This genuinely enraged him.


    Hence, he wanted to kill Ye Yuan at all costs!


    Detonating the blood origin, this was something that happened internally. No matter how strong the Hegemons were, they were unable to stop it too.


    Sensing the terrifying fluctuations coming off Ye Yuan��s body, Hegemon Cloudmount��s eyes turned bloodshot.


    He was too satisfied with this disciple!


    If Ye Yuan died here, he would be overwhelmed to the extent where he wished that he was dead!


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of fresh blood wildly, the blood origin swelling crazily. His Dao sword was almost unable to suppress it anymore.


    His body was like a balloon being inflated with air, swelling up rapidly.


    If he exploded, he would be ground to dust! No matter how weak an origin was, that was also an origin!


    This kind of thing should never have existed in a True Sovereign Heaven��s body in the first place.


    If an origin detonated, that power would be absolutely horrifying!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that the Chaos Bloodstone would actually risk mutual destruction and detonate the blood origin! At the critical moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Ye Yuan��s eyes!


    He controlled the Dao sword and stabbed over toward that trace of blood origin!

 Chapter 2906 - Forced Fusion! Severely Wounding the Chaos Bloodstone!

    Chapter 2906 Forced Fusion! Severely Wounding the Chaos Bloodstone!


    With regards to this trace of blood origin, Ye Yuan had always stayed as far away from it as possible.


    After all, it was too powerful.


    He had always been studying this trace of blood origin, hoping to be able to pry into the blood race��s secrets.


    It was just that this thing was too profound, his realm was not there yet, and he could not understand it.


    But this time, he had no choice anymore!


    If he allowed it to detonate freely, he would be dead for sure!


    Hence, he controlled the Dao sword and chopped toward the blood origin.


    This was not for the sake of destroying the blood origin, but �� to forcefully integrate it!


    as


    The Dao sword was born from Ye Yuan��s lifetime comprehension of Great Dao. It was his supremely powerful treasure that he derived from destroying a world.


    How much potential this thing had, even he himself did not know either.


    At least, he could accomplish things that many people could not do.


    Such as suppressing the blood race��s blood essence!/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    This showed that Ye Yuan��s Dao surmounted many things to begin with.


    No matter how strong the origin of blood, it was also just a type of origin power that was born from heaven and earth.


    Even if it was all-encompassing, it was also impossible to be greater than heaven!


    But Ye Yuan��s Dao sword was an item that evoked heaven��s jealousy.


    It was born from Heavenly Dao but also different from Heavenly Dao.


    Hence, Ye Yuan had no choice. He could only forcefully integrate it and forcibly refine it, turning this wisp of origin power into his own!


    This origin of blood did not belong to Ye Yuan. It was just the Chaos Bloodstone ��lending�� it to Ye Yuan to use.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan was going to seize it for himself!


    An all-encompassing aura was released from the Dao sword. That was akin to all roads leading to Rome that belonged to Great Dao!


    Under this power, the blood origin seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex.


    Following that, the Dao sword transformed into thousands of fine strands, forcibly penetrating into that trace of blood origin.


    Forced fusion!


    The outside world could not see this scene at all.


    Each Hegemon��s face revealed an extremely worried expression.


    And over at the Chaos Bloodstone there, although he did not speak, judging from his aura, he was clearly proud of himself to the extreme.


    That pleasure of taking revenge seeped through the power of origin, showing itself to the Hegemons.


    ��Damn it! If the power of origin crumbles, a True Sovereign Heaven definitely can��t withstand it! This time, Ye Yuan is really dead for sure!�� Divine Lord said agitatedly.


    ��This damn thing actually did not stint to damage his own strength in order to kill a lower True Sovereign Heaven!�� Zhou Pinespring also said with a look of grief and indignation.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s two eyes even turned blood-red, urging his own origin power crazily, fighting back against the Chaos Bloodstone!


    ��Die! Die! Die! All attack ruthlessly for me! Your Father must make this guy pay the price!�� Cloudmount roared. This was the disciple that he cherished the most. Now, he was actually going to die in front of him.


    He could not stand it!


    Although Ye Yuan became his disciple for a short time, Ye Yuan indeed suited his taste very much.


    That imposing aura that showed disdain on the world, that sort of fanaticism and madness toward Alchemy Dao. It was virtually identical to him back then!


    But now, Ye Yuan was actually going to die!


    Feeling Hegemon Chaos Bloodstone��s lament and resentment, Divine Lord and the rest also urged their origin power crazily, attempting to inflict serious injuries on the Chaos Bloodstone.


    He was also hoping to stop the Chaos Bloodstone from detonating the blood origin through this kind of method.


    But, this was futile.


    If the Chaos Bloodstone wanted to detonate the blood origin, it was merely a matter of a thought.


    This was already irreversible!


    But it was certainly very hard for the Chaos Bloodstone��s power of origin to want to break through the blockade of dozens of Hegemons.


    But it was not difficult to get away!


    This guy��s origin power was born from heaven and earth. It was extremely pure and powerful, surmounting all the Hegemons!


    That shocking origin of blood gradually faded away.


    The group of Hegemons obstructed and intercepted and failed to stop him.


    Furthermore, his retreat was unhurried, as if to express mockery to the group of Hegemons.


    But suddenly, this origin power suddenly paused, instantly weakening.


    How could the Hegemons let this chance go? Origin powers smashed over towards the Chaos Bloodstone frenziedly.


    The originally powerful origin of blood was pressed on the ground by dozens of Hegemons at this time and being drubbed!


    Even if they were unable to eradicate it, it caused tremendous damage to him!


    A confrontation of origin powers was extremely dangerous to begin wide.


    With this, it was sufficient for the Chaos Bloodstone to bite off more than he could chew.


    It was just that they were perplexed in their hearts. What was going on with this Chaos Bloodstone?


    Swoosh!


    The origin of blood could not withstand such terrifying attacks, retreating like tidewater.


    When he came, he was fearsomely powerful, making the dozens of Hegemons feel like they were facing a great enemy.


    But when he left, he was panicky like a dog that lost its home!


    This battle was a complete victory!


    ��This �� What on earth is going on here? His power of origin seems to have suffered a serious injury!�� Divine Lord said with a frown.


    Cloudmount shuddered and cried out in surprise, ��Ye Yuan! It must be Ye Yuan!��


    The group of Hegemons no longer pursued the Chaos Bloodstone and returned to Ye Yuan��s side.


    Ye Yuan was safe and sound!


    But, the aura of blood exuding from his body made everyone��s faces change slightly.


    The forced fusion succeeded!


    But Ye Yuan��s body was tainted with a terrifying origin of blood!


    This made his aura change drastically.


    At this time, the feeling that Ye Yuan gave the Hegemons was like they were facing a bloodkin.


    ��Ye Yuan, are �� are you alright?�� Hegemon Cloudmount asked with concern.


    Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes. Sucking in a deep breath, he shook his head and said, ��I��m fine. Just now, in my moment of desperation, I forcefully integrated the origin of blood! Now �� it has already become a part of my Dao sword!��


    The Hegemons drew a breath of cold air.


    This guy was too crazy!


    Fusing origin this sort of thing, was no different from courting death!


    This guy actually fused it just like that?


    Power of origin was the Great Dao that others comprehended, it could not be copied at all.


    The path that each person took was different.


    Forcefully combining other people��s path with your own path, this was completely a death-seeking action.


    A single misstep and it would be the result of foundation collapsing.


    This was also the reason why it was so hard for Hegemon Realms to be born.


    Your path, you could only walk yourself!


    Ye Yuan actually integrated it just like this?


    Furthermore, it even worked?


    However, it was precisely because of Ye Yuan��s madness that they could deal a deadly blow to the Chaos Bloodstone, inflicting heavy wounds on the Chaos Bloodstone.


    It was just that at this time, the bloody energy on Ye Yuan��s body billowed to the sky. Judging from his aura, he was completely a bloodkin already.


    ��Hahaha, terrific lad! Master knew that you��d be fine!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said with a loud laugh.


    Zhou Pinespring rolled his eyes and said, ��Just now, wonder whose eyes turned red and said that he was going to avenge Junior Brother!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said in a great rage, ��You scoundrel, do you want to betray your master?��


    The corners of Zhou Pinespring��s mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped talking. Ye Yuan looked at the master and disciple two people and could not help smiling.


    Of course, he felt a warm current flow through in his heart.


    This master was acknowledged correctly!


    ��Ye Yuan, then do you �� belong to the blood race or human race now?�� Hegemon Blacksun suddenly said in a solemn voice.


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s expressions changed.


    What was the meaning of this?


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s face turned black, and he said in a great rage, ��Blacksun, what do you mean? Of course Ye Yuan is a human!��


    But Hegemon Blacksun said, ��If he has been assimilated by the blood race? If he��s only brushing you off right now?��

 Chapter 2907 - Headed for the Soul Clan!

    Chapter 2907 Headed for the Soul Clan!


    The group of Hegemons fell silent. There was indeed this possibility!


    Blood slaves being controlled by the blood race were not easy to be discovered when placed in a crowd.


    Let alone that Ye Yuan, this ��blood slave��, was personally assimilated by the mother stone!


    ��This �� I have no way of proving,�� Ye Yuan spread his two hands out and said very shamelessly.


    He indeed had no way of proving it.


    He looked completely like a bloodkin from head to toe currently.


    The moment these words came out, many Hegemons�� expressions changed one after another.


    While Blacksun smiled coldly and said, ��Since you��re unable to prove yourself, then you��re a huge hidden danger to us! Divine Lord, this boy �� can��t be kept alive!��


    The moment these words came out, Hegemon Cloudmount immediately objected, saying angrily, ��F*ck you, Blacksun, you blood thing, do you want to spar with this seat? Come, come, come! If I don��t beat you until you cry for your mother, this seat absolutely won��t stop!��


    While talking, Hegemon Cloudmount��s overwhelming aura was monstrous. The entire Absolute Heaven Barrier started to tremble.


    He did not look like he was joking in the slightest. He was really going to exert his utmost strength.


    This stance, he was already going to rescind his power to the Absolute Heaven Barrier and fight to the death with Hegemon Blacksun.


    Hegemon Blacksun��s expression also changed drastically. Clearly, he did not expect that Hegemon Cloudmount was actually being serious.


    He turned hostile at the drop of hate, it frightened the other Hegemons badly too.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s function in the Absolute Heaven Barrier was that of the main pillar!


    If he revolted, then the consequence would be disastrous.


    Divine Lord frowned and said, ��Fellow Daoist Cloudmount, please hold your horses first! If there��s anything, let��s discuss it clearly. We mustn��t easily take action and let the blood race have an opportunity to exploit!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount bristled with anger and said with a cold smile, ��What rubbish! Xue Ziming, don��t think that this seat doesn��t understand, you have this intention too! But have you thought before how many amazing contributions Ye Yuan has made in these short few decades! You guys actually kicked him to the curb like this after he has outlived his usefulness. Do you feel that Your Father is easily bullied?��


    Hegemon Cloudmount was not a fool, let alone someone who angered easily.


    Him exploding like this, he had naturally already thought it over in his heart./ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Although Blacksun��s words were unpleasant, what he said represented the thoughts of the vast majority of the Hegemons! Was Ye Yuan very impressive?


    Yes!


    Too impressive!


    But it was also precisely because of this that this bomb was too terrifying to be placed in the alliance!


    It was terrifying to the degree that even Divine Lord was fearful of it.


    This person had just scammed even the Chaos Bloodstone!


    But Hegemon Cloudmount did not care about these at all. Ye Yuan was his disciple, his most valued disciple!


    Even if everyone did not stand on Ye Yuan��s side, he had to stand on Ye Yuan��s side too!


    No one expected that Hegemon Cloudmount actually valued Ye Yuan so much and actually directly fell out.


    Him directly calling Divine Lord��s name was virtually equivalent to making a decisive break away.


    This already represented his attitude!


    Want to kill Ye Yuan? It was absolutely impossible!


    Divine Lord also felt a headache and said, ��Fellow Daoist Cloudmount, don��t get angry first. This lord also didn��t say to kill Ye Yuan! It��s just that we��re burdened with everyone��s expectations. No mistakes can be allowed! With Ye Yuan��s state, we have to figure out what��s going on, isn��t that so?�� Cloudmount snorted coldly and said, ��This seat will vouch for him! Ye Yuan absolutely won��t betray the alliance! If you all can��t figure out what��s going on, then think of a way to figure it out! But, if anyone dares to touch a single hair of Ye Yuan��s, even if I abandon the Absolute Heaven Barrier, I��ll also get justice back!��


    The expressions of the group of Hegemons became incomparably awkward.


    This was being completely unreasonable.


    But this kind of unreasonableness made Ye Yuan feel a warmth in his heart.


    From start to end, he had unconditional faith in him and never even asked a word.


    Hegemon Blacksun wanted to kill him. Hegemon Cloudmount even directly exploded without even thinking.


    With such a master, what more could one ask


    for!


    At this time, Zhou Pinespring also said coolly, ��This set will advance and retreat together with Master!��


    Li Clearcloud also stood beside Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��I, this eldest senior brother, isn��t a Hegemon Realm yet. My words carry little weight. But, before killing Ye Yuan, you have to kill me first!��


    Feng Xiaotian did not say anything. He just stood beside Ye Yuan silently.


    The attitude was self-explanatory.


    The expressions of the Hegemons changed again.


    There was no need to talk about Zhou Pinespring this Hegemon powerhouse. Li Clearcloud was a huge potential stock too.


    Once these master and disciples three people withdrew, the Heaven One Alliance would virtually be equivalent to dissolving.


    This consequence would be severe.


    Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart. Originally, he was still somewhat conflicted about acknowledging a master.


    But now, he only felt that this decision was incomparably right.


    For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.


    Both sides were in a stalemate, neither able to open their mouths.


    Did the concerns of Divine Lord they all not make any sense?


    Of course it did!


    Ye Yuan��s situation was a huge latent danger to them.


    His current realm was still low. After he entered Emperor Realm, that impact would be huge!


    Presently, Ye Yuan was already the entire Heaven One��s legendary figure.


    If this kind of character became a bloodkin, this was undoubtedly a massive joke.


    This effect was pretty much the same as the Blood Divine Son.


    It was just that the blood race could afford the loss, but Heaven One could not afford to lose!


    Ye Yuan suddenly took a step forward and said with clasped hands, ��Master, seniors, there��s actually no need to be troubled over this matter. Previously, I said before that I��m going to leave Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. As long as I��m not here, all the latent dangers naturally won��t exist either. If I��m in the various heavens and can bring back some useful intel, or even the way to defeat the blood race, then everyone naturally won��t need to suspect anything anymore too.��


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s pupils constricted and said, ��You��re really leaving? You have to know, there are too many perils in the various heavens. There isn��t Master to protect you there! Once you encounter danger, nobody can save you!��


    In Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Hegemon Cloudmount was a god-like existence.


    Even if the dozens of Hegemons on the scene wanted to kill Ye Yuan, he could protect him too.


    But, if he went to other planes, it would be beyond Hegemon Cloudmount��s reach.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head firmly and said, ��Yes, Disciple has a reason that I must go!��


    His reason was Mu Lingxue!


    At present, Ye Yuan��s Divine Emergence had already been cultivated to late-stage second level. It was already not far from the third level!


    Once he broke through to the third level, Ye Yuan would be able to re-condense Mu Lingxue��s divine soul and revive her!


    He had waited too long for this day!


    Over at Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven this side, the blood race was turned upside down, and the Chaos Bloodstone was seriously injured too.


    Within a short time, there should not be too many dangers on the Heaven One Alliance this side.


    Actually, after Ye Yuan broke through to True Sovereign Heaven, Mi Tian told him that re-condensing the divine soul still needed a series of steps and that he had to make a trip to the soul clan.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan did not want to delay a single moment. He only wanted to immediately set off and head to the soul clan.


    The soul race did not exist in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    In the 33 Heavens, each heaven had their own unique race.


    Such as Mi Tian��s hometown, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, there were many chaos true spirits!


    And although Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had many true spirits, there were no true spirits that were truly born from chaos.


    The soul race��s most prosperous land was the Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven!


    This was also Ye Yuan��s destination!

 Chapter 2908 - Tearing Through Space and Leaving!

    ��Alright ����


    Hegemon Cloudmount mused for a long time but finally still agreed.


    Very clearly, this was the best way.


    To really fight it out to the death, that was not the situation that he wanted to see.


    Otherwise, how could he have guarded this Absolute Heaven Barrier for thousands of years?


    But for Ye Yuan, he would rather fall out with the Hegemons!


    Hearing Hegemon Cloudmount agreed, everyone including Divine Lord let out a long sigh in relief.


    To really talk about strength, even if Hegemon Cloudmount was not as strong as Divine Lord, he was also not far off.


    The two were both the most apex Hegemon Realms.


    Once this kind of core figure erupted, then Heaven One Alliance would be completely finished.


    It seemed like Ye Yuan leaving became the best option.


    Ye Yuan looked at Hegemon Cloudmount as well as Zhou Pinespring they all, and he cupped his fists as he said, ��Many thanks, Master, as well as the trust of Senior Apprentice Brothers. At most 100 years, within a hundred years, Ye Yuan will definitely rush back and fight shoulder to shoulder with everyone and eradicate the blood race!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount flicked his sleeves, and the unfriendly look on his face grew thicker as he said cynically, ��Everyone says that the bow is cast aside once the birds are god. The bird isn��t dead yet, and some people already want to kick the bow out after its services are no longer needed, cutting off their own arm. What a joke! What bullsh*t trust. Don��t look at whatever Heaven One Alliance; actually each and every one is harboring ulterior motives! If this was not the case, how could Heaven One not be able to even give birth to a single Hegemon Realm for thousands of years? Heh heh ����


    This sarcasm, if somebody else said it, they would definitely be smacked to death by the Hegemons.


    But no one dared to rebut Hegemon Cloudmount��s words.


    Even Divine Lord had to bottle it up too!


    Right now, under this sort of situation, they could not trigger this old man anymore.


    The more they said, the more severe the consequences would be.


    �� ��


    Under a huge ore vein, the barrier of heavens that led to the Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven was hidden!


    This barrier of heavens was extremely hidden. It was hard for ordinary martial artists to reach it too.


    However, to these Hegemons, it was naturally not considered a secret.


    Passing through the barrier of heavens was an extremely difficult thing.


    Not reaching Hegemon Realm, it was incredibly arduous to want to pass through the barrier of heavens.


    Even if it was a Hegemon Realm, tearing through the boundary and heading to other planes was also not something that could be done casually.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s true body came!


    The other Hegemons also sent clones over, witnessing Ye Yuan��s departure.


    Not seeing Ye Yuan leave with their own eyes, they could not set their minds at ease.


    Regarding this, Hegemon Cloudmount naturally turned his nose up in disdain.


    Of course, Hegemon Cloudmount being able to leave temporarily was also thanks to Ye Yuan.


    This series of shocking victories beat the blood race until they could not catch their breath. That was how he could leave temporarily.


    ��I didn��t expect that you��re actually going to Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven, that is the territory of the soul race! However �� Master has once visited the various heavens and myriad worlds. Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven has many Hegemons who owe this old man a favor too! Bring this thing along with you. If you really run into some trouble, go and find those few old things. They will naturally make a move and help you!��


    As he said, Hegemon Cloudmount passed Ye Yuan a long-stemmed tobacco pipe.


    Seeing this long-stemmed tobacco pipe, Zhou Pinespring and Li Clearcloud��s eyelids quivered, revealing disbelieving looks.


    The other Hegemons had shocked faces too.


    Hegemon Cloudmount was a major smoking addict. This long-stemmed tobacco pipe was called Treasured Glass Tobacco Pouch. It was his lifeblood!


    This thing had followed him for god knows how many years already. It had never left him!


    Although because of material limitations, it could only be promoted to grade four grandmist treasure quality in the end, it held extraordinary meaning to Hegemon Cloudmount!


    Today, he actually gave this treasure to Ye Yuan!


    It could be seen how highly he valued Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was not a fool either. He could tell the value of this item from the other people��s expressions.


    He shook his head and said, ��No way, this thing is too valuable. This disciple can��t accept it!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount glared and said in a solemn voice, ��Just take it when I ask you to. What��s with all the crap? A lousy grade four grandmist treasure, this seat doesn��t think anything of it!��


    Seeing that Hegemon Cloudmount��s mind was made up, Ye Yuan hesitated for a bit but still accepted it and said, ��Alright, then Disciple will accept it! Master, rest assured; I��ll definitely bring it back,��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said impatiently, ��Already said, just a piece of crap. If it��s thrown away, it��s thrown away. Could it be that this seat would still care? Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and get lost! I can��t leave the Absolute Heaven Barrier for too long!��


    Ye Yuan put the Treasured Glass Tobacco Pouch away and nodded slightly as he said, ��Then, I��ll have to trouble Master!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount said, ��Kid, this barrier of heavens isn��t an ordinary existence. This seat can��t send you across the boundary at all! The pressure in the chaos will crush you into a meatloaf!��


    It was naturally no big deal for Hegemon Realms to pass through the barrier of heavens.


    But Ye Yuan��s strength was too weak. Even if there was Hegemon Cloudmount��s help, he had to withstand tremendous pressure too.


    This pressure was sufficient to crush him to death!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Master, rest assured; this disciple naturally has his means!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount nodded and said, ��Mn, in a while, I��ll forcibly break through the barrier of heavens. But, while I say that it��s breaking through, actually, a Emperor Vast Heaven will also find it difficult to bear the pressure inside! Furthermore, there��s only a brief 15 minutes!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Master, please cast the spell!��


    Hegemon Cloudmount stopped being long-winded and urged his powers to start tearing through the boundary!


    He also really wanted to see just what means Ye Yuan had, to pass through the barrier of heavens!


    The other Hegemons actually did not really believe it.


    Therefore, that was why they did not care about Hegemon Cloudmount��s biting sarcasm, insisting on coming over to take a look.


    If this Hegemon Cloudmount deliberately went easy and said that Ye Yuan left, but he actually did not leave, then the problem would be huge.


    The barrier of heavens isolated the 33 Heavens, making the 33 Heavens each become a world.


    Want to pass through the barrier of heavens, not unless one��s strength reached the Hegemon Realm.


    Of course, origin Emperor Sakra Heavens also had the strength to pass through the barrier of heavens. It was just that the price was too high. No one was willing to attempt it.


    Hegemon Realms could forcefully tear through the boundary.


    If dozens of Hegemon Realms joined hands, they could even completely link up two worlds, letting people with meager strength forcefully pass through the planes.


    Back then, that was how the Labyrinth Divine Palace swept across the 33 Heavens.


    And that battle also alarmed the Hegemons in all the heavens, setting off a shocking great battle of Hegemons.


    But, a single Hegemon Realm, even if it was a powerhouse like Hegemon Realm Cloudmount, he was unable to completely open up a passageway.


    The powerful pressure in the barrier of heavens was sufficient to crush a puny little True Sovereign Heaven like Ye Yuan into minced meat.


    Therefore, they did not believe it!


    Boom!


    A terrifying energy undulation directly infiltrated the barrier of heavens.


    Amidst that thick stretch of chaos, an opening was forcefully opened up.


    It was just that the region of chaos was still very dense.


    Furthermore, that passageway that was being forcibly opened up was currently healing at a rate visible to the naked eye!


    Ye Yuan cupped his fists towards Hegemon Cloudmount and the rest and said, ��Master and Senior Apprentice Brothers, take care. Ye Yuan is leaving!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan immediately transformed into a true dragon and tore across the air!


    Only to see Ye Yuan being akin to fish in water amidst that region of chaos, seemingly very comfortable!


    That terrifying chaos pressure was actually unable to do anything to him!


    All the Hegemons were dumbfounded from watching!


    This kid really had so many tricks that it was appalling!

 Chapter 2909 - Identifying Family in Another World

    ��That �� seems like the true dragon clan��s Wandering the Divine Space, right? This kid actually even learned such a secret art!�� Divine Lord saw through Ye Yuan��s secret art with one glance and was extremely shocked.


    ��It��s actually Wandering the Divine Space! Legends have it that when this secret art travels through the void, it will meet with no resistance as if entering an unpopulated land! Upon seeing it today, it��s indeed extraordinary!�� Hegemon Blacksun said in shock.


    ��Heard that this secret art can only be grasped by chaos true dragons! This boy is just True Sovereign Heaven. His bloodline is already powerful to such a degree?��


    �� ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan tear across space, each and every one of the Hegemons was dumbfounded with amazement.


    It was truly that this secret art was too miraculous.


    Chaos true dragon, even among Hegemons, it was an extremely powerful existence too.


    And Wandering the Divine Space, even Hegemon Realms were incredibly envious too.


    With this secret art, one could travel to and fro freely between the various heavens!


    Originally, Ye Yuan was unable to cultivate this secret art. But, after draining the blood pool twice and also having obtained the origin of blood, this greatly strengthened Ye Yuan��s bloodline power.


    Following that, this Wandering the Divine Space was also successfully cultivated.


    Of course, this kind of success naturally could not compare to Mi Tian��s style back then.


    But, with Hegemon Cloudmount��s help, it was enough.


    Seeing this bunch of Hegemons�� shocked appearances, Hegemon Cloudmount felt the delight of having taken revenge!


    Your Father��s disciple is amazing!


    You all, this bunch of fellows, I��ll take care of you all sooner or later!


    �� ��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan landed in a large hall with a look of surprise.


    Within the great hall, a group of people seemed to be currently paying homage, and he rashly barged inside just like that.


    The group of people also looked toward him with baffled faces.


    Where did this guy pop out from?


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept over the hall. This place was an empty cave that was opened up into a great hall by someone.


    Above the great hall, there was just a giant statue that was enshrined, looking valiant and thriving, with an imposing appearance.


    This statue��s face was actually somewhat blurry.


    However, Ye Yuan still felt that this statue looked somewhat familiar!


    ��Bloodkin! Kill!��


    The powerhouses in the great hall finally reacted.


    Following that, it was a frenzied killing intent!


    The group of powerhouses rushed over indiscriminately.


    The bloody aura on Ye Yuan��s body was too thick. It could not help from the people��s eyes and ears at all.


    The strength of the cultivators in the hall was not weak. The strongest was a lower Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Just now, this roar was given off by him.


    Apart from this Emperor Cloud Heaven, there were still many True Sovereign Heaven powerhouses in the great hall.


    It could be seen that the strength of this sect was not weak.


    Ye Yuan currently had a lot of means, but Sovereign Realm to Emperor Realm was a huge threshold, he was currently far from being an Emperor Realm powerhouse��s match.


    Even if it was a lower Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would encounter such danger the moment he came out of the barrier of heavens.


    This sect was clearly extremely hostile to the blood race. At this time, the pressure of Emperor Realm was fully released, rushing toward Ye Yuan crazily.


    The other True Sovereign Heavens also followed closely behind, cutting off all of Ye Yuan��s escape routes.


    Behind him, the barrier of heavens had already recovered. Ye Yuan entered a wolf den all of a sudden, with no path of retreat at all.


    Ye Yuan felt his scalp tingle. Suddenly, his eyes landed on the statue and a flash of inspiration came to him. He yelled loudly, ��Hang Yang!��


    This yell was indeed useful!


    That Emperor Cloud Heaven��s figure stopped, looking at Ye Yuan uncertainly as he said, ��You should have came out of the barrier of heavens. Why would you know Ancestor��s name?��


    Ye Yuan secretly let out a sigh in relief, thinking to himself that Old Man Cloudmount saved his life!


    Of course, the danger had not passed yet.


    If the bloody aura on his body could not be explained clearly, it would likely still be death.


    Ye Yuan looked at that Emperor Cloud Heaven and said, ��Hang Yang is your ancestor, then this place is still the Sublime Pill Sect?��


    The Emperor Cloud Heaven��s suspicions grew stronger, and he said with a nod, ��That��s right!��


    ��Sect Master, what are you being long-winded with this bloodkin for? Ancestor Hang Yang died at the hands of the blood race. Let��s kill him and avenge Ancestor!��


    ��These few years, how many people from of our Sublime Pill Sect had been killed by the blood race? Sect Master, stop talking crap with him!��


    ��Kill him!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan��s appearance made these people burn with rage.


    These also let Ye Yuan realize that most likely, the blood race was already wreaking havoc in Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven too!


    But the sect master waved his hand and said, ��Let him finish speaking!��


    Seeing the sect master��s attitude, Ye Yuan��s heart calmed down significantly.


    The moment he came out, he felt that this status looked very familiar.


    At that time, he had not reacted to it yet. But, he suddenly recalled that before coming, Hegemon Cloudmount told him that he came to Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven 70 thousand years ago to travel. When he just came out of the barrier of heavens, he had once casually given pointers to a youth before.


    That youth was Hang Yang.


    The Sublime Pill Sect back then, the strongest person was merely Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum. It was unbelievably weak.


    The Hang Yang back then was even just Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum Realm. He was also an outcast in the sect.


    However, this Hang Yang was extremely diligent, hiding in this cave alone and practicing superfluous Dao techniques.


    Hegemon Cloudmount had his interest aroused and casually gave Hang Yang some pointers.


    What kind of existence was Hegemon Cloudmount? To a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, his casual giving of pointers was enough to benefit for life.


    However, a Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was just an ant-like existence to a Hegemon Realm.


    Hegemon Cloudmount naturally would not waste much time on him.


    He stayed in the Sublime Pill Sect for five days, then directly left.


    The events afterward, Cloudmount could not be bothered to care at all.


    Before coming, Hegemon Cloudmount covered all details no matter how trivial, telling Ye Yuan about everything that he had seen and heard in Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would already be dead.


    As for this statue, it was actually greatly different from Cloudmount, so Ye Yuan did not recognize it for some time too.


    A Lesser Sublime Hegemon Realm, even if a Hegemon Realm was standing in front of him, he could not see his features clearly either.


    What Hang Yang saw was just a blur.


    In reality, if Hegemon Cloudmount did not do it deliberately, even Ye Yuan would not be able to see his appearance clearly too.


    This level of existence, every movement and action was Dao!


    Not reaching Emperor Realm, one would not be able to see anything at all!


    Clearly, just five days of guidance, but Hang Yang forged a path that led to heaven, letting a puny little Sublime Pill Sect become a major sect.


    Judging from the sect master��s attitude, he knew some things.


    Ye Yuan looked at the sect master, casually took out the Treasured Glass Tobacco Pouch, and said, ��Since you know something, then you should know about this, right?��


    The sect master��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��This �� This is impossible! How can you have this tobacco pouch?��


    Actually, Hang Yang��s strongest impression of Cloudmount was when he was smoking his tobacco pouch.


    At that moment, Cloudmount was akin to a god from heaven; blasphemy was not tolerated.


    Only all the way until many years later did he know what kind of existence Cloudmount was.


    However, Cloudmount��s scene of smoking the tobacco pouch could not be sculptured even when Hang Yang was at his prime.


    This statue did not have a tobacco pouch, but he replicated a tobacco pouch in addition, to pay homage.


    The sect master knew about this.


    The Treasured Glass Tobacco Pouch in Ye Yuan��s hand was identical with what Hang Yang replicated!


    Therefore, the sect master was shocked!


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a sigh, ��If my guesses are correct, Hang Yang �� should be considered my senior apprentice brother!��

 Chapter 2910 - Sublime Pill Sects Ancestor!

    The moment these words came out, everyone could not help trembling all over.


    Their ancestor was the senior apprentice brother of this bloodkin in front of him?


    Believe my *ss!


    Sect Master gave a cold laugh and said, ��What kind of existence was that person? How can he possibly take you, a bloodkin, in as a disciple? Do you think that you can smoke your way through like this?��


    Actually, the sect master already believed it 40%-50%!


    Others did not know, but he knew that this place was where the barrier of heavens was at!


    This person crossed worlds and even carried the tobacco pouch in his hand. This already indicated a problem.


    It was just that the only confusing aspect was the blood race aura on Ye Yuan��s body.


    ��Over 70 thousand years ago, my master crossed worlds and came ����


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, repeating the events that Cloudmount told him about.


    The expression on the sect master��s face became fascinating.


    This secret, Ancestor would only tell it to the sect master!


    And what Ye Yuan said was not the slightest bit off!


    Although it was only a short five days, it was Ancestor Hang Yang��s astonishing fortuitous encounter.


    It was also precisely these five days that opened up Ancestor Hang Yang��s path of cultivation, letting him reach Emperor Sakra Heaven later on!


    It also let the Sublime Pill Sect, this measly little sect, rise like a comet!


    Sect Master��s heart shook wildly, but the doubt in his eyes grew stronger, and he said, ��That lord was born in the human race. Why would he take you in as a disciple? Moreover, you��re just a measly little lower True Sovereign Heaven!��


    ��I��m not of the blood race, as for this bloody aura ����


    Ye Yuan did not conceal it either, recounting the background of the bloody aura.


    It was just that when these disciples heard it, they all felt like Ye Yuan was boasting.


    ��Huhu, who doesn��t know how to brag? I can even say that I��ve killed a Hegemon before!��


    ��Blood race��s Blood Divine Son! You might as well as that you��re Lord Wang Zuo, wouldn��t that be better?��


    ��You even transformed into a bloodkin and ran to the blood race to become their Blood Divine Son! Huhu! Is the blood race so easy to pass off? Do you think that their Hegemon Realms are all idiots?��


    ��I say, if you��re passing off as a human, can��t you find a better reason? Are you treating us as idiots?��


    ��Didn��t you say that you swept across the blood race? Then us, these people, you could find it a cinch, right? Come on, try sweeping us away!��


    �� ��


    Not seeing it with their own eyes, Ye Yuan��s experiences were indeed too fantastical.


    When others heard it, it naturally became boasting.


    But, Sect Master��s eyes flickered indeterminately, and he actually believed him a little more.


    He knew what a terrifying existence that person was!


    The more terrifying Ancestor��s strength became, the more he could feel the unfathomability of that person!


    Maybe only such an incredible genius was worthy of being his disciple, right?


    One shouldn��t look at how Ancestor Hang Yang professed to be a disciple; that was actually just gilding gold onto his own face.


    That person completely looked down on Ancestor Hang Yang!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Alright! As long as the sect master doesn��t make a move, it doesn��t matter if tenfold more comes.��


    Everyone was taken aback. This guy really dared to go along with it!


    Blatant provocation!


    Sublime Pill Sect��s disciples completely exploded, requesting to battle one after another!


    One had to know that there were still three half-step Emperor Realms among the True Sovereign Heavens here.


    There were as many as seven grand completion True Sovereign Heavens here!


    As for those below True Sovereign Heaven, there were dozens of them!


    Sect Master was also somewhat moved and said, ��Fine. I won��t make a move!��


    Hence, Sublime Pill Sect��s disciples each rubbed their fists and wiped their palms, wanting to eliminate Ye Yuan.


    Since they were taking action, then life and death need not be discussed.


    An hour later, the world was silent.


    Apart from the three half-step Emperor Realms, the rest had all collapsed!


    This was still Ye Yuan pulling his punches. Otherwise, those people would virtually have died out.


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with astonished faces. This guy��s strength was too terrifying.


    Below grand completion, one punch each.


    Grand completion realm, took a bit of effort.


    Half-step Emperor Realm, by relying on the Wandering the Divine Space, the other party could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all!


    At present, Ye Yuan��s bloodline power had already reached peak battle soul level after experiencing several baptisms.


    Jumping realms and battling within True Sovereign Heaven was not much different from eating and drinking.


    This time, they somewhat believed it.


    It was because when Ye Yuan was fighting with them, he clearly still had strength to spare.


    It was not impossible to sweep across the blood race!


    When the sect master saw Ye Yuan��s strength, monstrous waves were set off in his heart.


    This was a true genius!


    Only this kind of genius had the qualifications to acknowledge that person as master!


    Ye Yuan took out a heavenly pill and said to the sect master, ��This is the Blood Imitation Pill. After consuming it, one will be able to simulate the aura of a bloodkin.��


    At this time, the sect master already believed 70%!


    He found a True Sovereign Heaven who consumed the Blood Imitation Pill. Sure enough, that disciple��s aura became exactly alike that of a bloodkin!


    With this, everyone was convinced!


    There was really such a miraculous heavenly pill!


    At this point, the sect master drew a deep breath, prostrated on the ground, and said, ��Disciple Wang Jun pays respect to ancestor! What are you all still in a daze for? You all pay homage to Ancestor every day. Now that you��re seeing his disciple, why haven��t you prostrated?��


    The other disciples exchanged glances. In the end, they still went on their knees.


    ��Paying respects to Ancestor!��


    Although he foresaw it long ago, Ye Yuan was still somewhat doubtful as he said, ��Aren��t you afraid that I��m a spy of the blood race?��


    Wang Jun shook his head and said, ��During these few thousands of years, our Sublime Pill Sect��s powerhouses have dwindled repeatedly. From Ancestor Hang Yang to Emperor Vast Heaven, then to Emperor Cloud Heaven, then to me, this incompetent disciple, the sect master has changed three times! But Ancestor Hang Yang has passed down, if we see the Treasured Glass Tobacco Pouch one day, we��ll have to treat them with the manners of treating our forefather! For our Sublime Pill Sect to be able to have today, it was all thanks to Patriarch! Since Patriarch acknowledged Ancestor, then we��ll naturally treat you in accordance with the manners of treating our forefathers!��


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��It has also been hard on Hang Yang, this senior brother of mine! You all probably don��t know our master��s name yet, right?��


    Wang Jun said excitedly, ��Ancestor, please inform us!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You all remember, our master is Cloudmount, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Extreme Medicine Sect��s ancestor!��


    Wang Jun��s entire body trembled, and he said with amazement, ��It �� It��s actually Ancestor Cloudmount!��


    Cloudmount��s reputation was extremely resounding. Wang Jun had naturally heard of it before too.


    It was just that he did not think that his own ancestor actually had such a great background!


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said, ��You all didn��t go and cultivate but came here en-mass to pay homage to Master. What is it for?��


    He had always been very curious!


    Even if Hang Yang respected and honored his teacher, it was also not to such an extent of making the sect��s disciples pay homage every day, right?


    Could it be that these guys all did not need to cultivate?


    Wang Jun smiled bitterly and said, ��Getting pointers from Patriarch, my Sublime Pill Sect soared to the heaven in one bound, and also became a top sect of Soul Awakening Continent, the disciples under our sect nearing ten thousand, powerhouses plentiful as clouds! It��s just a pity that several thousand years ago, the blood race came to invade, my Sublime Pill Sect��s powerhouses dwindled to zero. Now �� there��s only me, one Emperor Realm, remaining!��


    Speaking up to here, Wang Jun could not help quietly shed tears.


    Over the years, too many people died!


    Ye Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart. Was this Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven actually exactly alike Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven too?


    But very soon, he realized that he was wrong!


    In this Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven, the soul race was the well-deserved overlord.


    Even the human race which spanned across all the heavens were unable to contend with them too.


    There were how many races that could contend with the blood race. However, this soul race was precisely one of them!


    It was just that when immortals fight, the little demons suffer!


    At present, the soul race and blood race were at war, but there were not many real fights.


    Both sides were driving out the humans, attacking each other.


    Actually, the ones who died the most were the humans instead!

 Chapter 2911 - Carrying Out Legacy Teachings

    This Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven��s situation was somewhat different from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    There were only two continents here, but no matter which continent, the soul race was the well-deserved overlord!


    The soul race had many Hegemons who kept suppressing the blood race.


    Looking across the 33 Heavens, the human race��s Hegemon Realms were the most.


    But here, the human race was weak.


    Therefore, in each great battle, these two major races would drive the human race out to be the vanguard, attacking each other.


    The humans were the biggest cannon fodders.


    Sublime Pill Sect was originally an Emperor Sakra Heaven level major sect. Although they could not enter the sights of a Hegemon level sect, it was quite powerful too.


    But, these few thousand years, they suffered the conscription of the soul race repeatedly, large batches of powerhouses died at the front-lines.


    Presently, there was only Wang Jun, being the only powerhouse left.


    They were paying homage to Cloudmount here, just praying that the soul race could completely forget about them and stop drafting them.


    If there was another draft, the Sublime Pill Sect would probably be in danger of being annihilated.


    Talking up until this point, Wang Jun, this Emperor Realm powerhouse, was also filled with tears.


    When Ye Yuan heard it, he also sighed endlessly. Concerning the blood race running rampant, it really angered both heaven and men, plunging the people into misery and suffering!


    After another few rounds of small talk, Ye Yuan understood a little about the war between the blood and soul races. Then he chased the Sublime Pill Sect��s people out and started his own closed-seclusion.


    Before entering closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan made a long list and handed it to Wang Jun, having him collect the heavenly medicines on the list.


    A large number of grade five and even some grade six heavenly medicines were listed on the list. Some heavenly medicines were even very precious.


    Fortunately, the Sublime Pill Sect had tens of thousands of years of foundation too. They could still gather some grade six heavenly medicines.


    Done with these, Ye Yuan started his closed-seclusion.


    The urgent matter on hand was to resolve the problem of the bloody aura on his body.


    The blood and soul two races were diametrically opposed. If Ye Yuan went to the soul race like this, he would probably be one-shotted before meeting anyone.


    The soul race was a must-go destination.


    Ye Yuan��s biggest goal this time was one of the soul race��s three great sacred artifacts: the Purple Ripple Umbrella.


    This Purple Ripple Umbrella was a chaos sacred treasure with boundless power./ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Ye Yuan��s soul gathering technique must be coupled with the Purple Ripple Umbrella before it could help Mu Lingxue assemble her soul.


    It was just that chaos sacred treasures were supreme treasures when placed in any world. How could the soul race possibly lend it to Ye Yuan easily.


    Just like the Myriad Realms Mountain in Ye Yuan��s hands, once it was leaked out, that would absolutely cause a sanguinary slaughter.


    The soul race��s three great sacred artifacts, the Purple Ripple Umbrella, Soul Killing Bell, and the Forget-me-not Cauldron, each one was a supreme soul artifact. The heavens and myriad worlds only had this one!


    Furthermore, looking at it presently, the soul race was far from friendly with humans.


    It would be very difficult to borrow it.


    However, Ye Yuan finally saw hope after walking all the way until today.


    Even if his bones were ground to dust, he had to successfully borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella too.


    Ye Yuan��s mind was completely immersed in the Dao sword.


    The current Dao sword seemed to be stained by specks of bloodstains on it.


    These were precisely the materialization of the blood origin.


    Originally, he thought that once this origin of blood was merged together, it would corrode the Dao sword.


    After all, this wisp of blood origin originated from such a powerful Chaos Bloodstone!


    But, looking at it now, the power of the Dao sword seemed to exceed his imagination.


    Not only did this wisp of blood origin not corrode the Dao sword, but it was also completely integrated into the Dao sword instead!


    Ye Yuan could mobilize the power of the blood origin at any time now.


    This was also to say that the current Ye Yuan was indeed no different from a bloodkin in the least bit.


    It was just that this power was too strong. Ye Yuan was currently unable to control it, so the blood aura on his body could not dissipate at all.


    As long as he completely controlled this origin of blood, Ye Yuan would be able to recover back to new.


    In other words, the current Ye Yuan was probably the one and only existence across the various heavens and myriad worlds to possess the power of origin at True Sovereign Heaven Realm!


    As long as Ye Yuan controlled this power, his strength would soar again!


    The Dao sword was indeed a miraculous existence!


    Although it was condensed and formed by Ye Yuan using the power of Great Dao, Ye Yuan discovered that he still knew too little about it.


    Even Mi Tian was extremely astonished by it too.


    There were many divergent cultivators, but someone like Ye Yuan, a divergent cultivator who dared to point at heaven with their sword, was one of its kind.


    Maybe there were, but they were all dead.


    But Ye Yuan survived.


    Not only did he survive, but he also became stronger and stronger instead.


    Time passed quietly. Ye Yuan was continuously familiarizing and controlling the power of the blood origin.


    But the Sublime Pill Sect��s dissatisfaction with Ye Yuan caused a great clamor.


    ��Sect Master, based on what?! This kid has an unknown background, yet, he��s riding on top of our heads to be an ancestor! This is nothing yet. The grade six heavenly medicines that barely remained in the sect have practically been all plundered away by him! You��re at any rate an Emperor Realm powerhouse too! Could it be that you can stomach this grievance?�� Vice Sect Master, Lu Yan, said with an indignant face.


    ��Our Sublime Pill Sect is already at the end of our rope to begin with. Now, we actually still have to support such an ancestor!��


    ��Huhu, we these people pay homage to our founder every day, hoping that his elderly self can show mercy and save us from extreme misery. Now, things are great. He sent an ancestor down, and we still have to provide for his needs!��


    �� ��


    In the Sublime Pill Sect��s great hall, three great half-step Emperor Realms were extremely dissatisfied.


    When Ye Yuan went into a closed-seclusion, he demanded a large number of grade six heavenly medicines.


    These few years, the Sublime Pill Sect had been declining with each passing day.


    The grade six heavenly medicines that Ye Yuan demanded, the Sublime Pill Sect had most of it.


    But some of the heavenly medicines were very precious. With the Sublime Pill Sect��s current strength, they paid a huge price before acquiring them too.


    Grade six heavenly medicines were not expendable to the present Sublime Pill Sect too.


    Ye Yuan��s list heaped disaster after disaster on the Sublime Pill Sect that was on the decline.


    However, Wang Jun still gritted his teeth and got it.


    Although he had quite a lot of unhappiness too, obeying Ancestor Hang Yang��s legacy teachings, he still carried them out unwaveringly.


    The moment Ye Yuan, this ancestor came, he took away a large number of heavenly medicines. This made them extremely dissatisfied.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan, this ancestor that made neither head nor tail, had caused them to be very unhappy too.


    If an Emperor Vast Heaven came, or even if it was an Emperor Cloud Heaven, they would just suck it up and acknowledge it.


    But, a lower True Sovereign Heaven, no matter how talented you were, what the hell did it have to do with us?


    Wang Jun swept Lu Yan a glance and said coolly, ��This was what Ancestor Hang Yang passed down! For so many years, each sect master will personally pass it onto the next sect master before being drafted! Lu Yan, if this sect master is drafted this time, this legacy teaching will be inherited by you too! Are you taking over or not?��


    Lu Yan could not help choking when he heard that.


    To a sect, inheritance was the most important.


    Inheritance was not just the inheritance of cultivation methods and martial techniques. It was also the inheritance of responsibilities.


    To the current Lu Yan, he did not need to do anything.


    But, once he became Sect Master, he would have to fulfill the responsibilities!


    Then was he taking over or not?


    Sects that could have tens of thousands of years of lineage all had their own raison d��etre.


    If they could not even pass down this bit of responsibility, then the sect would have long dissipated.


    Moreover, under the current circumstances, where could they go to escape the war between two major races?


    If they became itinerant cultivators, it would be even more miserable!


    ��But, at this rate, our Sublime Pill Sect will be finished!�� Lu Yang gritted his teeth and said.


    Wang Jun still said coolly, ��Without Patriarch Cloudmount, the Sublime Pill Sect wouldn��t have all these today. You and I also wouldn��t have had the lucky chance to reach the Emperor Realm! Therefore, even if the Sublime Pill Sect is finished, we have to carry out this legacy teaching too!��


    ��Mn? It��s very lively! Everyone��s here, perfect! I still have a list here, Wang Jun. Hurry up and help me take care of it, quickly!��


    Right at this time, a voice sounded out. A leisurely looking Ye Yuan walked into the great hall.

 Chapter 2912 - Ancestor Ye Came to Save Us!

    ��Enough! I can��t take it anymore! You, this fellow, are you done yet?��


    Lu Yan directly blew up, pointing at Ye Yuan as he started to bellow.


    The others in the great hall were also all glaring.


    This guy was simply a vampire!


    The heavenly medicines that he asked for previously virtually depleted half of the sect��s accumulations.


    Now, he wanted more?


    Another half-step Emperor Realm also said angrily, ��What rubbish ancestor! Sect Master, even if I��m struck dead by heaven, I��ll also chase this guy out of the Sublime Pill Sect today!�� Another half-step Emperor Realm also said angrily.


    The others spoke up one after another, criticizing Ye Yuan.


    Their patience had already reached its limits.


    Wang Jun also looked at Ye Yuan with a helpless look and said, ��Ancestor Ye, the list that you gave previously has already depleted more than half of the sect��s accumulations! If you want more, the sect��s disciples won��t be able to cultivate normally anymore.��


    Ye Yuan could not help being taken aback and said, ��Is that so? Then it��s really a shame. Since that��s the case, you pick some strong ones to consume these heavenly pills first. The Sublime Pill Sect still needs some powerhouses to protect it.��


    It was only to see him flick his sleeves grandly. Piles of bottles and vials appeared before everyone��s eyes.


    Lu Yang, who was still blowing his top earlier, his eyes went wide.


    Inside the bottles and vials, that profound undulation already filled the entire great hall!


    Profound grade!


    Sublime Pill Sect was established with alchemy. There was no shortage of alchemy path experts in the sect.


    They naturally knew about profound grade heavenly pills!


    Wang Jun shot to his feet, looking at Ye Yuan with a look of disbelief as he said quiveringly, ��Ancestor Ye, you��re saying that �� these �� these heavenly pills, are all for us?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Otherwise? These heavenly pills are of little use to me. I��ve already adapted to the origin of blood, my strength improving greatly. I��m about to transcend tribulation and break through my realm right away. There are 20 profound grade Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills in here. It should be sufficient to let Lu Yan three people step into Emperor Realm. The rest are also enough to let the collective strength of True Sovereign Heavens reach a higher level.��


    ��2-20 profound grade Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills?�� Wang Jun felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.


    Resplendent Divine Emperor Pill, that was a miraculous heavenly pill that could create Emperor Realms!


    The refining difficulty was not an ordinary kind of high.


    Even Ancestor Hang Yang could not refine profound grade Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills too. Ancestor Ye, a grade six heavenly alchemist, could refine it?


    Could Emperor Realms be nurtured using heavenly pills?


    Of course they could!/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Not just Emperor Cloud Heaven, even Hegemon Realms could be groomed using chaos heavenly pills too!


    But the sad thing was that the heavenly medicines required to refine this sort of chaos heavenly pill were seriously too rarely seen.


    Not a single strain might be born in 100 thousand years!


    It was just that the nurturing of Emperor Realms was very different from the previous cultivation realms.


    Even if the pill entered profound grade, it was also no guarantee that a half-step Emperor Cloud Heaven could step into Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    Emperor Realm was too mysterious!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan refined 20 in one go.


    No matter how poor the aptitudes of Lu Yan three people were, 20 was enough for them to step into Emperor Realm too.


    After all, it was profound grade!


    If not for these 20 Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills, it would not have emptied out the Sublime Pill Sect��s accumulated resources too.


    But, even if the Sublime Pill Sect��s accumulated resources were emptied out fully, it could not purchase 20 Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills too!


    No, just talking in terms of value, it could at most just buy one or two.


    This thing was too precious!


    Wang Jun looked at Ye Yuan, as if having seen a ghost, and said, ��You �� You��re just lower True Sovereign Heaven. You �� You can already refine profound grade heavenly pills?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��No.��


    Wang Jun let out a long sigh in relief and muttered, ��Luckily.��


    ��I could already do it at middle Saint Sovereign Heaven.��


    ���� ����


    The Sublime Pill Sect disciples present felt incredibly blown away.


    Too �� Too demoralizing!


    Everyone refined pills. Why were you so outstanding?


    Profound grade was a realm that was lofty and out of reach.


    Forget about a measly little lower True Sovereign Heaven; even if it was Emperor Vast Heaven, being able to step into profound grade was very rare too.


    One had to know, when Ye Yuan entered profound grade back then, even a top sect like the Extreme Medicine Sect was shaken.


    How could a puny little Sublime Pill Sect not be horrified?


    Even when the Sublime Pill Sect was at its peak, the people who could enter the realm of profound grade did not surpass three people too!


    Now, a lower True Sovereign Heaven went into a closed-seclusion for a few months�� time and took out a bunch of profound grade heavenly pills.


    This sort of thing was seriously too shocking.


    So when they learned that Ye Yuan turned those heavenly medicines into profound grade heavenly pills, they were completely flustered.


    At this time, Wang Jun they all finally understood why back then Hegemon Cloudmount could not even be bothered to gave Ancestor Hang Yang a glance.


    In their view, Ancestor Hang Yang, who could develop a Sublime Realm sect into an Emperor Sakra Heaven level major sect, was absolutely amazingly talented already.


    But, compared to this one in front of them, he was truly pummeled until not even dregs remained!


    This was a true genius!


    Only such a genius was fit to become the disciple of that kind of existence!


    Thud!


    Lu Yang directly knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and cried bitterly as he said, ��Ancestor Ye, t-this disciple deserves death! This disciple shouldn��t have criticized Ancestor behind your back, shouldn��t have projected my own shortcomings onto others! This disciple is unfilial. Ancestor, please punish!��


    At this time, Lu Yan really felt that he could look for a hole to crawl into.


    These few days, he had a stomach full of complaints.


    If not for Wang Jun suppressing it, he would have long broken in and chased Ye Yuan away.


    But only now did he understand that Ye Yuan wanted these heavenly medicines not for himself but for the Sublime Pill Sect and him!


    He was really worse than a beast to actually scold Ancestor Ye behind his back!


    He currently wished to find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.


    ��Ancestor Ye, t-this disciple also played a part! Ancestor, please punish!��


    ��Ancestor Ye, please punish!��


    Even the half-step Emperor Realms as well as those True Sovereign Heavens all knelt down too.


    These few days, they criticized Ye Yuan plenty.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��All get up. This matter was in fact my fault. It was me who was anxious to enter closed-seclusion and didn��t explain things clearly. Since the Sublime Pill Sect is the Dao teaching that my master left behind, then I, this disciple, naturally have the responsibility to guard it. You guys also wouldn��t have called me Ancestor Ye in vain.��


    Lu Yan was completely convinced. He kowtowed heavily to Ye Yuan, exclaiming, ��Ancestor Ye has a mind as open as a valley. This disciple admires! From now on, this disciple will follow Ancestor Ye��s lead!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��No need to waste time on this. After you all distribute the heavenly pills, go into a closed-seclusion respectively. This ancestor is going to transcend tribulation.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan��s figure moved and already went out of the great hall.


    Very soon, terrifying undulations came from outside.


    Wang Jun and the rest exchanged glances, the look of shock on their faces growing stronger.


    What terrifying undulations!


    They could also tell that Ye Yuan was a divergent cultivator.


    But this True Sovereign Dao Tribulation was a little too terrifying, right?


    Such a terrifying True Sovereign Dao Tribulation, could Ancestor Ye overcome it?


    Upon coming out to see, everyone was dumbfounded with shock.


    Ye Yuan was akin to a living god or devil under the Dao tribulation.


    A Dao sword destroyed all of the Dao tribulations!


    After refining the origin of blood, Ye Yuan��s strength became powerful until it was hair-raising!


    Coupled with the power of blessing, this True Sovereign Dao Tribulation was no longer able to do anything to him.


    Seeing this scene, Wang Jun suddenly had tears running down his face as he said, ��Perhaps, Patriarch Cloudmount heard our prayers and sent Ancestor Ye to come and save us!��

 Chapter 2913 - Exterminate Everyone!

    Lu Yan three people��s talents were indeed not to be complimented.


    The three people consumed 19 Resplendent Divine Emperor Pills before finally breaking through to Emperor Realm.


    A waste of such fine profound grade heavenly pills!


    But at any rate, the Sublime Pill Sect had four Emperor Realm powerhouses now. Their strength immediately jumped up a level.


    Emperor Realm and not Emperor Realm were two totally different worlds!


    Even if Ye Yuan was so monstrous, it was also impossible to cross this large mountain, jumping realms to battle.


    As for those True Sovereign Heavens, their strength similarly made great progress.


    The Sublime Pill Sect from top to bottom revered Ye Yuan like a god.


    Ye Yuan stayed in the Sublime Pill Sect for three years.


    For three years, Ye Yuan placed his mind on the origin of blood and the comprehension of the Divine Emergence��s third level.


    At present, already Ye Yuan fused with the blood origin. This was the work of the Dao sword.


    He could utilize the power of origin, but his understanding of the origin of blood was very superficial.


    It was merely a matter of knowing how to do something but not understanding why.


    The origin of blood was also the most fundamental power to construct the rules of all the heavens. Therefore, its power was not inferior to that of spatial origin!


    With Ye Yuan grasping an origin power in-advance, he naturally palpitated with excitement.


    With the Dao sword as a medium, his speed of comprehending the origin of blood was extremely fast.


    Comprehending origin had no shortcuts to take.


    But Ye Yuan took a shortcut.


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan did not have any clues about the Divine Emergence��s third level this entire time.


    The soul race had three great sacred canons and three great sacred soul artifacts. All of them were the 33 Heavens�� top existences.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    The Divine Emergence��s third level was a massive threshold. It was incomparably difficult.


    This third level often could only be comprehended by the soul race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    And the Divine Emergence was also one of the soul race��s sacred canons. The difficulty could be imagined.


    Ye Yuan virtually did not have much bottlenecks cultivating it to grand completion second level.


    But this time, he encountered a bottleneck.


    The tranquility of these three years was finally broken by the arrival of the soul envoy!


    ��Paying respects to Lord Soul Envoy!��


    Wang Jun brought the Sublime Pill Sect��s people and carried out a worship ritual on bent knees.


    This soul envoy was merely grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, but these exalted Emperor Realms actually had to extend such solemn respects. It was truly oppressing.


    ��Mn.��


    The soul envoy was very haughty and did not have the intention of letting Wang Jun and the rest get up at all.


    Rather, it was behind him; an Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouse��s gaze was swimming across Lu Yan few people, revealing a smile that was not a smile.


    This person was called Zhang Zuoshan, Soaring Cloud Sect��s sect master.


    To talk about this Soaring Cloud Sect, back then, they were still the Sublime Pill Sect��s subordinate sect. The strongest was merely True Sovereign Heaven.


    Compared to the Sublime Pill Sect, the Soaring Cloud Sect was like an ant.


    But circumstances changed with the passing of time. The Soaring Cloud Sect already had three Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouses now. There was even a middle Emperor Cloud Heaven among them, their strength far surpassing the Sublime Pill Sect instead.


    Actually, the soul race did not squeeze the human race blindly. Instead, they groomed some weak sects consciously.


    But, when they drafted the humans, they would naturally draft those powerful sects.


    This was equivalent to weakening a batch and nurturing a batch.


    That batch that was weakened naturally hated the soul race to the core.


    But that batch that was being groomed, they overflowed with gratitude towards the soul race.


    This way, not only did it divide the human race, it also made it impossible for some powerful existences to appear in the human race, forever being enslaved under the soul race.


    The Sublime Pill Sect was clearly that batch that was being weakened.


    And the Soaring Cloud Sect was that batch that was being nurtured.


    Zhang Zuoshan��s aptitude was actually ordinary, but with the soul race��s strength, wanting to nurture a middle Emperor Cloud Heaven was still easy to accomplish.


    And Zhang Zuoshan also directly became a sycophant of the soul race.


    If the soul race asked him to go east, he would never go west.


    The soul envoy looked at Wang Jun and said lightly, ��Wang Jun, your Sublime Pill Sect��s Zhou Chen, as well as five other Emperor Cloud Heavens, have already all fallen.��


    These words did not carry the slightest trace of emotion. It was as if the few Emperor Realm powerhouses who died were little dogs.


    Wang Jun��s entire body shook, tears pouring out of his eyes.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother! I-It was all me who harmed you!��


    Zhou Chen was precisely the Sublime Pill Sect��s former sect master!


    Over 50 years ago, the soul race forcibly drafted Zhou Chen and six Emperor Cloud Heavens, only leaving behind Wang Jun, one Emperor Realm powerhouse.


    Hence, Zhou Chen passed the position of sect master to Wang Jun.


    Actually, that call-up planned to take Wang Jun away too. But Zhou Chen gave the vast majority of the Sublime Pill Sect��s resources to this soul envoy in order to leave behind a trace of bloodline for the Sublime Pill Sect.


    This was also the reason why the Sublime Pill Sect depleted their resources to get a few grade six heavenly pills now.


    These few thousands of years, the nightmares that the Sublime Pill Sect had heard of, were too many!


    Ancestor Hang Yang brought a group of disciples and fought for over a thousand years with the blood race. In the end, he still fell.


    When the bad news came, the entire sect was in deep grief!


    Yet, this was only the beginning.


    After Ancestor Hang Yang died, the soul race drafted another batch of Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses.


    Following that, it was Emperor Cloud Heavens.


    Until now, there was only Wang Jun, a single sapling left!


    ��Heh, Wang Jun, rather than crying bitterly for Zhou Chen that damn thing here, why not worry about yourself! Lord Soul Envoy has said, all of the Sublime Pill Sect��s Emperor Realms will enter the Scarlet Drill Battlefield! Since you all have four Emperor Realms now, then just now, go together then.��


    Zhang Zuoshan looked at Wang Jun with a smug look.


    Seeing that the Sublime Pill Sect actually had four Emperor Realms appear all of a sudden, he was extremely shocked in his heart.


    Originally, the Soaring Cloud Sect had already completely pressed the Sublime Pill Sect down.


    What kind of people Lu Yan these three were, Zhang Zuoshan knew.


    Wanting to step into the Emperor Realm, there was basically no possibility.


    But, who knew that having not seen for a few short decades, the three of them actually all stepped into Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    Fortunately, he kept it in mind. This time, he was going to round the Sublime Pill Sect up in one fell swoop, so he secretly informed Lord Soul Envoy to have him continue drafting the Sublime Pill Sect.


    This time, he could completely trample the Sublime Pill Sect into the mud.


    Wang Jun��s entire body shook, wishing to tear Zhang Zuoshan to shreds.


    He knew that it was definitely him who stirred up enmity again.


    ��Lord Soul Envoy! My Sublime Pill Sect��s talents have already dwindled to zero in order to fight for the soul race! Now, there are only these last few bloodlines left! This time, Wang Jun is willing to set off for Scarlet Drill Battlefield. Lord Soul Envoy, please let Lu Yan they all off!�� Wang Jun said in a trembling voice.


    The soul envoy gave Wang Jun a glance and said coolly, ��It��s your honor to fight for my soul race! Why? Do you feel that this envoy is setting you all up? Don��t need to say anymore. The situation of the battlefront at the Scarlet Drill Battlefield is urgent. We��re precisely in need of your services now. This time, not only are the four of you going; all of the True Sovereign Heavens have to go!��


    When Zhang Zuoshan heard, he was beside himself with joy by the side.


    Wang Jun lifted his head abruptly, looking at the soul envoy with a look of resentment.


    This was driving everyone to extermination!


    Wang Jun was furious to the extreme, the Emperor Realm pressure on his body suddenly releasing, already having the stance of risking it all.


    However, the soul envoy did not care at all. He just said coolly, ��Why, you even want to make a move? You have to think clearly. Once you make a move, your Sublime Pill Sect will completely disappear!��


    This sentence was akin to a basin of cold water, pouring down the head.


    The Emperor Realm pressure on his body instantly disappeared without a trace.


    Going, there was still a glimmer of hope.


    Not going, they would be completely wiped out by the soul race!

 Chapter 2914 - Its Really a Small World!

    Each and every one of the Sublime Pill Sect��s disciples was bound by a common hatred for the enemy, wishing that they could perish together.


    Bullying people too far!


    This soul envoy did not give the Sublime Pill Sect any way out!


    ��Die in glory rather than live on in dishonor.


    ��Right, we��re not scared of death! At most, we��ll fight it out to the death!��


    ��Sect Master, we��ve had enough a long time ago! These few years, we��ve lived worse than dogs! Fight it out with him!�� As he talked, this newly advanced Emperor Realm powerhouse was looking at Zhang Zuoshan.


    �� ��


    Thousands of years of accumulated resentment had completely erupted at this moment.


    The soul race did not give any way out at all. This was wiping out their True Sovereign Heavens and above in one fell swoop.


    Without even True Sovereign Heavens, was the Sublime Pill Sect still the Sublime Pill Sect?


    Zhang Zuoshan stood behind the soul envoy with a smile that was not a smile.


    The Sublime Pill Sect bringing about their own destruction, he was happy to see it happen.


    Thinking back then, he was like a dog in front of the Sublime Pill Sect.


    Now, he finally felt exaltation upon fulfillment.


    ��All shut up for me!�� Wang Jun roared angrily, suppressing everyone��s voices.


    In the Sublime Pill Sect, Wang Jun��s prestige was still extremely high.


    He forcefully suppressed the fury in his heart and said in a solemn voice, ��What can mutual destruction achieve? My Sublime Pill Sect has a lineage of tens of thousands of years. It can��t be cut off just like that! We��ll �� go!��


    Wang Jun virtually depleted all of his strength to utter the word ��go.��


    He knew that if he went, the Sublime Pill Sect would be completely beaten into the dirt.


    But there was no choice!


    What could resisting do?


    The four of them Emperor Realms added up might not be Zhang Zuoshan��s match too!


    Rather than dying in vain, it was better to leave some descendants behind for the Sublime Pill Sect!


    Presumably, the True Sovereign Heavens would have all died out. The soul race would not go so far as to target some Saint Sovereign Heavens, right?


    After all, if these people went, they would only be cannon fodders too.


    ��Liu Xin, from now on, you��re the Sublime Pill Sect��s sect master!�� Wang Jun looked at a grand completion Saint Sovereign Heaven and said.


    Liu Xin��s eyes were filled with tears, kneeling down with a thud.


    Life-and-death parting


    The soul envoy smiled and said, ��That��s right. This is the wise move! Moreover, going to the Scarlet Drill Battlefield might not be a road that leads to death. Maybe it will be your lucky chance too! In that place, there are many people who break through the fetters and break through realms repeatedly, becoming overlords of a region! You all don��t need to be so pessimistic. Alright, whatever you have to hand over, hurry up and hand it over. And then we��re leaving.��


    �� ��


    Half a day later, the soul envoy escorted a group of Sublime Pill Sect powerhouses, and they were prepared to leave.


    The entire Sublime Pill Sect was in a state of misery.


    At this time, Wang Jun already recovered calmness. He instructed Liu Xin, his gaze sincere as he said, ��Liu Xin, I only have one request for you. No matter how hard it is, you have to let the Sublime Pill Sect survive too!��


    When he said this, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared in Wang Jun��s mind.


    With him around, the Sublime Pill Sect would not die!


    So what if there were no True Sovereign Heavens?


    With him around, before long, the Sublime Pill Sect would have a large batch of True Sovereign Heavens appear again!


    Emperor Realms would absolutely not be far beyond reach too!


    Ye Yuan was in a closed-seclusion. From the start until now, nobody in the Sublime Pill Sect mentioned Ye Yuan��s name.


    Firstly, they were grateful to Ye Yuan and could not drag Ye Yuan into the water.


    Secondly, they all tacitly felt that with Ancestor Ye around, the Sublime Pill Sect still had a tomorrow!


    Of course, Wang Jun they all did not feel that Ye Yuan appearing could change anything.


    It was true that he was a genius.


    But, facing a behemoth like the soul race, a genius could not change anything.


    Ancestor Hang Yang was Emperor Sakra Heaven, something that even an Emperor Sakra Heaven could not change, what could a measly little True Sovereign Heaven change?


    When Liu Xin heard that, he knelt down again with a thud and said in tears, ��Liu Xin remembers Sect Master��s teachings! Sect Master �� take care!��


    Zhang Zuoshan smiled lightly and said, ��Tsk tsk, what a touching scene! Lord Soul Envoy, the Sublime Pill Sect is so ignorant about what��s good for them. Can you send them to Tiankui Front?��


    The soul envoy nodded slightly and said, ��Mn, Tiankui Front there is indeed short on people.��


    One sentence made the expressions of Wang Jun and the rest change again.


    Tiankui Front was the Scarlet Drill Battlefield��s most dangerous place.


    The cruelty did not lose to South Qi Giant City!


    Going there was virtually certain death!


    Ancestor Hang Yang died at the Tiankui Front.


    If looks could kill, Zhang Zuoshan would have already died God knows how many times.


    The soul envoy did not care about these gazes in the slightest. He just said coolly, ��Alright, stop talking crap. Set off!��


    Everyone was just about to leave, but two figures blocked their path.


    Seeing the arrival, Wang Jun��s pupils constricted.


    He glared at Li Jianshen, who was next to Ye Yuan, and said with an angry roar, ��Li Jianshen! Ancestor Ye has treated you with kindness. Why are you harming him!��


    The arrival was precisely Ye Yuan.


    Next to him was a Saint Sovereign Heaven disciple, Li Jianshen.


    This Li Jianshen had a very outstanding alchemy talent. Ye Yuan found him very promising.


    During these few years, he frequently gave guidance to Li Jianshen. His strength also advanced rapidly.


    Just like that, he already became the number one person under Liu Xin.


    Wang Jun did not expect that this guy actually secretly went to find Ye Yuan!


    The moment Ye Yuan appeared, he could not escape anymore!


    Hence, when he saw Ye Yuan appear, Wang Jun was beyond furious.


    The moment Zhang Zuoshan saw Ye Yuan, he could not help smiling. ��Yo, it turns out that there��s still a True Sovereign Heaven hiding! Wang Jun, what gall you have! Lord Soul Envoy, looks like if we don��t teach them a lesson, this bunch of guys won��t be obedient! Mn? Lord Soul Envoy?��


    The soul envoy ignored Zhang Zuoshan, but his pair of eyes were glued on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was extremely surprised too and was currently sizing the soul envoy up, a hint of a smile surfacing at the corners of his mouth.


    ��Huhu, it��s really a small world! I didn��t expect that I could actually meet an old friend in Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven! Yan Jadetrue, how have you been?�� Ye Yuan said with a beam.


    That was right. This lord soul envoy was precisely the Jadetrue Heavenly Sect��s ancestor who schemed against Ye Yuan back then and was sent packing by Ye Yuan, Yan Jadetrue!


    After the farewell back then, Ye Yuan never saw Yan Jadetrue again.


    He never expected that he crossed a world to arrive at Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven and actually met Yan Jadetrue!


    Furthermore, he even became the soul race��s soul envoy!


    To talk about this Yan Jadetrue, he was really fated to not die.


    Originally, he was severely wounded by Ye Yuan and also inflicted with the soul poison, it was very hard to recover his peak strength again.


    Furthermore, in his condition, he could not cross the sea and go to Heaven One Continent at all.


    In the sea, he similarly suffered a frenzied pursuit.


    But who could have expected that when he fled to the bottom of the sea, he actually discovered a mystic realm.


    That mystic realm was even left behind by an Emperor Realm soul denizen.


    Not only did Yan Jadetrue obtain an Emperor Realm��s legacy, he even entered the realm passageway between Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven in an accident arising from many causes, finally arriving at Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven!


    Later, by relying on that Emperor Realm inheritance as well as his own intellect, not only did he enter the soul race, he even became a soul envoy.


    It was just that he never expected to actually bump into his sworn enemy, Ye Yuan, in this Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven!


    After being taken aback, Yan Jadetrue came back to his senses very quickly. Looking at Ye Yuan with a smile, he said, ��This envoy is well, very well! Ye Yuan, since you appeared in the Sublime Pill Sect, then follow them to the Scarlet Drill Battlefield!��

 Chapter 2915 - Deepening the Impression!

    Seeing that Ye Yuan actually knew the soul envoy, Wang Jun and the rest could not help but rejoice.


    Yan Jadetrue��s one sentence directly woke them up.


    It turned out that these two were enemies!


    With this, it was really over!


    Ye Yuan did not feel anything. He just smiled and said, ��It looks like you��ve already forgotten the lesson from last time!��


    Yan Jadetrue laughed loudly and said, ��Forgotten? Huhu, how can I possibly forget? Do you think that this envoy is still that trash who doesn��t know anything? Back then, the reason why this envoy was plotted against by you, it was merely because I was an origin divinity body at that time! Now, this envoy had a great lucky chance and already completely transformed into a soul denizen, grasping the soul race��s powerful mystic arts! It��s the soul race that let this envoy experience a nirvanic rebirth! Killing you now is merely a matter of a single thought!��


    ��Ye Yuan, you don��t know this, but for so many years, this envoy has been constantly thinking about returning to the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven to avenge the enmity back then! I really didn��t expect that heaven has eyes, to actually deliver you before this envoy! Hahaha ����


    Talking until the back, Yan Jadetrue could not resist letting out a loud laugh.


    He was seriously too happy!


    Back then, Yang Jadetrue being defeated at Ye Yuan��s hands, it could be said to having all hope being dashed to pieces.


    But only until he obtained the soul race��s inheritance did he learn why he was defeated!


    Was an origin divinity body a soul denizen?


    Yes, and also no!


    In essence, the two were homologous.


    But the human race��s origin divinity had a huge connection to the physical body and the inner-world.


    It was different for the soul race!


    Furthermore, the human race rarely had soul race mystic arts. Even if there were techniques to cultivate the origin divinity, it was far from the soul race��s too.


    Therefore, the human race��s origin divinity was actually 108 thousand miles worse than same rank soul denizens.


    Across the heavens and myriad worlds, it was not only the human race. After other races had their fleshy bodies be destroyed, there would be a soul body existing too.


    But a soul body was different from the soul race.


    The cultivation of the soul race was another Great Dao!


    The origin of soul!


    Both that and the blood race��s origin of blood were extremely strong Great Daos.


    Soul race powerhouses could eliminate hundreds of millions of living things with a single thought!


    Origin divinity body must obtain the soul race��s cultivation method, shed off the shackles of the origin divinity, and tread onto the Great Dao of Soul, before they could be called a soul denizen.


    Otherwise, they were too weak to stand up to competition!/ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan grasped some kind of extremely powerful soul race mystic art back then. That was how he could defeat the strong while being weaker, beating the piss out of him.


    But now, it was already different!


    He, Yan Jadetrue, obtained the soul race��s inheritance and already completely transformed into a soul denizen. His strength could no longer be mentioned in the same breath a long time ago!


    The moment Zhang Zuoshan heard, he was overjoyed.


    He knew that this one in front of him was currently a rising new star in the Nirvana Soul Hall.


    His rate of improvement was very quick!


    He was already just half a step away from Emperor Realm!


    Therefore, he did his best to suck up to Yan Jadetrue. That was how he had today.


    ��Heh heh, I was wondering what powerful figure it was, to be able to make Lord Soul Envoy keep thinking about him! It turns out that it��s merely a random nobody! Kid, there��s a phrase: Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns. Have you heard it before? The present Lord Soul Envoy can crush you as easily as crushing an ant to death!�� Zhang Zuoshan said smugly.


    Yan Jadetrue said with a smile, ��That��s correct!��


    How soothing to the heart!


    Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns!


    Wasn��t he and Ye Yuan be like so?


    Heaven really had eyes, delivering Ye Yuan in front of him!


    The expressions of Wang Jun and the rest changed drastically. They similarly knew that this one before their eyes was the Nirvana Soul Hall��s expert!


    Same rank humans were not his match at all.


    They knew that Ye Yuan was formidable, but fighting with the soul race was different!


    One thought, life and death would be decided!


    ��Ancestor Ye, we��ll stop them, hurry up and go!�� Wang Jun��s figure moved, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.


    Lu Yan and the rest gave no chance to explain, standing shoulder to shoulder with Wang Jun.


    Previously, the entire sect even wanted to perish together with Yan Jadetrue, and they suppressed it.


    Now, for Ye Yuan��s sake, they did not even want the sect anymore!


    The loyalty of Wang Jun these people could be seen.


    Zhang Zuoshan snorted coldly and said, ��A bunch of ant-like things, to actually dare be disrespectful to the soul envoy! Huhu, I think that you all are really tired of living!��


    But Ye Yuan, who was away from Wang Jun and the rest, said with a faint smile, ��Looks like you have great resentment! Then I��ll give you a chance, come and kill me!��


    This slightly smiling appearance, Yan Jadetrue was very displeased!


    His two eyes narrowed, instinctively feeling that Ye Yuan harbored malicious intentions.


    This kid was too cunning!


    He was already infinitely cautious back then. Who knew that he still succumbed to his trick?!


    He understood Ye Yuan too well!


    But, the more he understood, the more fearful he was of Ye Yuan.


    ��Zhang Zuoshan, go and kill him!�� Hesitating for a moment, Yan Jadetrue still said cautiously.


    Zhang Zuoshan was stunned. Is Lord Soul Envoy scared of this kid?


    How was this possible?!


    In the Nirvana Soul Hall, Lord Soul Envoy killed gods if gods blocked him, killed Buddha if Buddha blocked him.


    Under Emperor Realm, he was virtually unrivaled.


    Now, he was actually afraid of a newly advanced middle True Sovereign Heaven?


    Could this kid be so impressive?


    However, he did not dare to refuse to carry out Yan Jadetrue��s orders!


    ��Yes, Lord Soul Envoy!��


    The moment Zhang Zuoshan��s middle Emperor Cloud Heaven aura released, everyone��s faces changed.


    ��You dare to hurt my Ancestor Ye! This sect master will fight it out with you!��


    Wang Jun four people immediately faced off against Zhang Zuoshan without hesitation.


    Four versus one!


    Luckily, Wang Jun��s strength was already very close to middle Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    The four people barely managed to resist Zhang Zuoshan.


    A big blunder!


    Yan Jadetrue thought that the Sublime Pill Sect only had Wang Jun, one Emperor Realm. That was why he brought Zhang Zuoshan alone.


    Who knew that four Emperor Realms appeared all of a sudden!


    Ye Yuan did not care. He still smiled at Yan Jadetrue and said, ��Why? Don��t dare? If you��re not making a move, then I��m �� going to make a move!��


    Yan Jadetrue��s pupils constricted. A powerful long-distance attack directly entered Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness!


    One thought, life and death was decided!


    But when his soul force entered Ye Yuan��s sea of consciousness, it suddenly seemed like it collided into an iron plate!


    ��Ugh!��


    Yan Jadetrue gave a muffled groan, falling back several steps in a row!


    So strong!


    Ye Yuan did not play any tricks!


    How could his origin divinity be so powerful?


    The origin divinity attack just now, Ye Yuan did not even deliberately defend against it. He only felt that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was strong like an iron plate!


    And his origin divinity attack was slammed until it was badly battered.


    He looked towards Ye Yuan in horror and said, ��H-How can this be? How can your origin divinity �� be so strong?��


    Back then, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity barely managed to reach Saint Sovereign Heaven!


    Just how long had it been? His origin divinity already reached upper True Sovereign Heaven?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was more than a hundred times more solid than ordinary upper True Sovereign Heavens!


    Just what kind of origin divinity cultivation method did this guy cultivate?


    Demoralizing!


    Too demoralizing!


    He obtained an Emperor Vast Heaven��s inheritance!


    After cultivating bitterly for so long, he did not even have a match in the Nirvana Soul Hall. Now, he actually lost to a human?


    Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Looks like the lesson last time wasn��t deep enough. Then this time, I��ll deepen the impression!��


    Finished saying, two origin divinities emerged from Ye Yuan��s body.


    Finally, they merged into one!


    Yan Jadetrue felt horror in his heart, crying out in surprise: ��Twin Chaos Origin Divinities!��

 Chapter 2916 - Reaping the Consequences

    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was of one body and two faces to begin with.


    One was the dragon soul; the other was the divine soul.


    Having obtained Divine Emergence, Ye Yuan��s both divinities cultivated it at the same time. The two origin divinities became strong on their own.


    Now, each one did not lose to same rank powerhouses.


    When the two combined into one, the power was even greater.


    Ye Yuan condensed a long bow with soul force, bending the bow and notching an arrow!


    Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed drastically!


    He was too familiar with this move!


    ��Arrow of God Extermination!��


    It was just that when Ye Yuan unleashed it now, the power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath.


    ��It��s still this move. This situation really deepens the impression of the past!��


    Ye Yuan smiled, and the Arrow of God Extermination tore across the air.


    Yan Jadetrue felt his scalp tingle, hurriedly releasing several streams of soul force, surrounding himself tightly.


    This move was also an Emperor Realm inheritance. It was called Nether Shield, its defensive strength extremely strong!


    Boom!


    The Nether Shield instantly shattered.


    Yan Jadetrue only felt his head spin, his soul body already suffering heavy injuries.


    Too strong!


    Circumstances changed with the passing of time. Feeling the power of this Arrow of God Extermination again, Yan Jadetrue was struck dumb with amazement!


    His Nether Shield was akin to an ant in front of the Arrow of God Extermination.


    ��I only unleashed 30% of my power, and you already collapsed? This time, try 40%.��


    Yan Jadetrue wanted to cry.


    Just 30% power and he already could not withstand it; let alone talk about 40% power.


    Yan Jadetrue gritted his teeth hard and said with an angry roar, ��Ye Yuan, you forced me! Destruction Heavenly Blade!��


    On his hand, a ring suddenly lit up. Yan Jadetrue��s soul force suddenly skyrocketed dozens of times!


    And at this time, his soul force also turned ethereal, transforming into a blood-red colored long blade.


    An Emperor Vast Heaven��s inheritance was naturally extraordinary./ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    This ring was Yan Jadetrue��s trump card!


    This ring was called Soul Recall Ring, a grade three grandmist treasure!


    Once it was activated, it could cause soul force to skyrocket.


    And this Destruction Heavenly Blade was that Emperor Vast Heaven��s ultimate move.


    The moment this blade emerged, everyone��s faces changed drastically.


    Wang Jun felt this terrifying soul force undulation. This blade, even with an Emperor Realm��s origin divinity, it probably could not resist it too!


    ��Ancestor Ye, be careful!�� Wang Jun roared loudly.


    Boom!


    While talking, Wang Jun was struck flying by Zhang Zuoshan with a palm. The latter laughed and said, ��Unable to even fend for yourself, you still have the leisure to care about others! Do you think that Lord Soul Envoy can really be defeated by some Tom, Dick, or Harry? That kid is dead for sure!��


    A trace of surprise was revealed on Ye Yuan��s face too.


    But very soon, he recovered back to normal and said with a faint smile, ��A little interesting!��


    In the next instant, his soul force similarly soared!


    In an instant, Ye Yuan��s soul force directly started to immolate.


    The soul bow and soul arrow in Ye Yuan��s hands all caught on fire!


    Divine Emergence mystic art, Rising From the Ashes!


    Swoosh!


    The Destruction Heavenly Blade and Arrow of God Extermination instantly exploded in the void.


    Yan Jadetrue was akin to being struck by lightning, drifting out like a piece of paper.


    His entire person instantly became much dimmer.


    Clearly, his soul body had already sustained serious injuries.


    Zhang Zuoshan had a dumbfounded expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.


    He had seen before with his own eyes, Lord Soul Envoy used the Destruction Heavenly Blade to slash a half-step Emperor Realm until he disintegrated.


    Apparently, he was actually defeated by this little fellow from the human race?


    This �� This was also too fake, right?


    Wang Jun had a dumbfounded look too, immediately becoming wildly ecstatic!


    Ancestor Ye was indeed impressive!


    ��Haha, Zhang Zuoshan, just now, who did you say was dead for sure?�� Wang Jun said with a loud laugh.


    Zhang Zuoshan��s face turned back. This face-slapping was also too fast, right?


    At this time, Ye Yuan already arrived at Yan Jadetrue��s side, pulled the ring off Yan Jadetrue��s body, and started examining it carefully.


    ��This is a soul artifact? Indeed �� a little interesting! Yan Jadetrue, give me this thing, alright?�� Ye Yuan looked at Yan Jadetrue and said.


    Yan Jadetrue gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, ��Dream on! I��m a soul envoy now! If you dare touch a hair on me, the soul race won��t let you off! Also, this Sublime Pill Sect, you wouldn��t want to watch them die, right?��


    He was confident that he understood Ye Yuan very well and knew that Ye Yuan would not leave the Sublime Pill Sect alone.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan grinned, and then a streak of gloomy light was fired into Yan Jadetrue��s soul body.


    ��ARGH!!��


    Yan Jadetrue cried out miserably, rolling around on the ground in pain.


    He just felt as if hundreds of millions of ants were gnawing on his soul body.


    That sort of anguish made him virtually want to end it all.


    Hearing Yan Jadetrue��s miserable scream, the group of Emperor Realms could not help shuddering with fear too.


    ��I��ll give! I��ll give, okay?�� Yan Jadetrue gave in.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you did so earlier, wouldn��t you have suffered less physical hardship?��


    While talking, his fingertips beckoned, retracting that streak of gloomy light.


    Yan Jadetrue looked at Ye Yuan, filled with fear.


    He originally thought that having obtained an Emperor Vast Heaven��s inheritance and sweeping across the Nirvana Soul Hall, he would definitely be able to avenge the enmity when he encountered Ye Yuan again.


    Who knew that in the end, he actually still suffered a crushing defeat.


    Not only was he defeated, this grade three grandmist treasure actually even had to be snatched away by Ye Yuan!


    How aggrieving!


    Helpless, Yan Jadetrue could only retract the Soul Recall Ring��s imprint.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan became the Soul Recall Ring��s new owner.


    After feeling it, with this Soul Recall Ring, if Ye Yuan��s soul force skyrocketed, he would virtually be able to rival grand completion True Sovereign Heavens!


    Indeed good stuff!


    Coupled with the powerful mystic arts in Deity Realm, Ye Yuan could exterminate half-step Emperor Realm soul denizens akin to retrieving an item from his own bag.


    After Ye Yuan��s Twin Chaos Origin Divinities all reached grand completion True Sovereign Heaven, even if he encountered Emperor Realm powerhouses, he might not be without the strength to have a fight.


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s gleeful look, Yan Jadetrue felt as awful as one could be.


    Ye Yuan looked toward Yan Jadetrue and said with a smile, ��Lord Soul Envoy, regarding this matter of recruitment, do you know what you should do?��


    Yan Jadetrue seemed like he had eaten a fly, but he still nodded and said, ��G-Got it!��


    He struggled to his feet, gaze looking at Zhang Zuoshan intent as he said, ��Zhang Zuoshan, the Soaring Cloud Sect from top to bottom, those above Saint Sovereign Heaven will all enter the Scarlet Drill Battlefield!��


    Zhang Zuoshan��s expression changed wildly. This�� What is going on here?


    Weren��t we here to get the Sublime Pill Sect?


    How did it become drafting the Soaring Cloud Sect in a blink of an eye?


    Furthermore, Yan Jadetrue��s words were to round up the Soaring Cloud Sect��s Sovereign Realm and above in one fell swoop!


    ��L-Lord Soul Envoy!��


    Yan Jadetrue��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, ��What? This envoy��s words aren��t useful anymore? Do you need this envoy to send a message to my master and invite his elderly self to come over and speed things up in person?��


    Hearing this, Zhang Zuoshan��s expression changed drastically.


    Yan Jadetrue already acknowledged an Emperor Vast Heaven as master when he arrived at the Nirvana Soul Hall!


    His master was the Nirvana Soul Hall��s elder. Not only was his strength preeminent, but his authority was also immense too.


    If he were to take action, the Soaring Cloud Sect could forget about leaving behind a trace of bloodline in the end.


    ��I-It��s useful! Zhang Zuoshan obeys!�� Zhang Zuoshan even had the heart to die.


    Hearing that the soul envoy was going to conscript the Sublime Pill Sect again, Zhang Zuoshan immediately came forward on his own accord, wanting to tag along.


    Trampling on the former high sect was a very satisfying thing.


    But who knew that it actually entrapped the Soaring Cloud Sect!


    The current Zhang Zuoshan, his intestines already turned green with regret.


    ��Report to the Scarlet Drill Battlefield within ten days! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!�� Yan Jadetrue looked at Zhang Zuoshan and said coldly.

 Chapter 2917 - Youre My Lucky Star!

    ��Ancestor Ye was indeed sent by Patriarch to save us!��


    ��Too satisfying! The Soaring Cloud Sect has this day too!��


    ��Ancestor Ye is really impressive! Alchemy Dao, Martial Dao, Soul Dao, all of them are astonishing! No wonder he could be taken in as a disciple by Patriarch!��


    �� ��


    The Sublime Pill Sect��s disciples were agitated until they were almost crying.


    Originally, they thought that the sect was going to decline henceforth.


    But who knew that Ancestor Ye overcame the raging tides, saving the sect, and even conveniently trampled the Soaring Cloud Sect into the mud while he was at it!


    Zhang Zuoshan left in disgrace. When he left, he was wailing bitterly.


    Soaring Cloud Sect��s decline was virtually a certainty.


    But Wang Jun and the rest of the Emperor Realm powerhouses were not so optimistic.


    Ye Yuan had offended the soul envoy to the core!


    The soul envoy represented the Nirvana Soul Hall. Ye Yuan beat Yan Jadetrue to this extent and even snatched his lucky chance. This was equivalent to slapping the Nirvana Soul Hall��s face.


    Could this Nirvana Soul Hall be willing to drop the matter?


    Nirvana Soul Hall was the organization used by the soul race to rule Day Cloud Continent. The powerhouses were plentiful as the clouds.


    The place where the Sublime Pill Sect was located was Ning Lan Territory.


    Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall was Ning Lan Territory��s supreme governing body.


    All who offended the Nirvana Soul Hall did not have a good end.


    ��Ancestor Ye, hurry up and leave the Sublime Pill Sect! The soul envoy��s master, Emperor Sevenfeather, is the Nirvana Soul Hall��s elder, an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm Soul Emperor! He values this disciple a lot. If he finds out �� he��ll definitely come and kill you!��


    Wang Jun clearly knew quite a bit of inside information and immediately urged Ye Yuan to leave.


    Yan Jadetrue was pleased with himself in his heart, but he did not dare to reveal it.


    He knew about Ye Yuan��s means and could only secretly take delight in it.


    So what if you, Ye Yuan, are formidable? I��m the soul race��s envoy now, just you wait for death.


    ��Are you thinking about, after your master comes, then kills me, and he��ll bring you away?�� Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s voice sounded out, interrupting Yan Jadetrue��s beautiful dream./ please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed, and he said with an awkward smile, ��H-How can that be!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Actually, these few years, I��ve always been waiting for the Nirvana Soul Hall��s people to come. Except, I didn��t expect that the one who came would actually be you.��


    Yan Jadetrue��s expression changed again!


    He was an extremely clever person. The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, he immediately connected it to many things!


    No wonder he suddenly appeared in Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven. It turned out that his goal was actually the soul race!


    Suddenly, he thought of something and cried out in surprise, ��You �� You want to borrow the power of the soul race to revive your beloved?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Talking with smart people saves effort. Therefore, you should know what I��m planning, right?��


    Yan Jadetrue said, ��This is impossible! You��re a human. How can you possibly enter the soul race?��


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly. Suddenly, his origin divinity split into two, one becoming a dragon soul, the other turning into the chaos origin divinity.


    Following that, Ye Yuan gave a muffled groan, a trace of blood seeping out of his mouth.


    The dragon soul tunneled into Ye Yuan��s body with a whoosh.


    Now, it became two Ye Yuans.


    One was a chaos origin divinity, and the other was Ye Yuan��s main body.


    Yan Jadetrue��s pupils constricted, crying out in surprise once again as he said, ��You �� You are a mad man, to actually sever your twin origin divinities! But it��s useless! Concerning the soul race and the origin divinity, there is a fundamental difference! Even if you cut off your origin divinity, you can��t become a soul denizen too! I spent 150 years before completely transforming into the soul race! Do you feel that Master will wait 150 years for you?��


    When he said this, Yan Jadetrue was full of mockery.


    Origin divinity transforming into a soul denizen was a process.


    This process was the process of completely cutting off the origin divinity from the physical body and purifying oneself.


    Even if Ye Yuan forced him to teach him this purification technique, Soul Emperor Sevenfeather would not give him this time either.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��150 years? That��s too long �� Yan Jadetrue, in my impression of you, you��re a genius. You actually used 150 years before transforming into a soul denizen?��


    Yan Jadetrue smiled coldly and said, ��Which origin divinity doesn��t have too many fetters while they were alive? Wanting to cut off the past and turning into the soul race, how can it be so easy? A period of 150 years is sufficient to rank into the top three in the Nirvana Soul Hall too! Ye Yuan, stop pretending in front of this seat. This seat will impart you the purification technique. I want to see how long you take!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need! I have a purification technique myself!��


    While talking, Ye Yuan��s body emitted motes of light as if purifying himself.


    Yan Jadetrue stared at Ye Yuan, his eyes going wide.


    T-Too fast!


    One breath, two breaths �� a hundred breaths, the aura on Ye Yuan��s body already became exactly like him!


    Ye Yuan �� already transformed into a soul denizen!


    ��This �� How is this possible?�� Yan Jadetrue muttered.


    Yan Jadetrue had never heard of this kind of transformation speed before.


    Of course, with his level, he had no way of understanding what kind of existence Divine Emergence was at all!


    One of the soul race��s three great sacred canons was not joking around.


    It was not just Yan Jadetrue; Wang Jun and the rest were stunned too.


    How could Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven��s humans not know the difficulty of transforming?


    In reality, Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven��s origin divinities were beyond count. But those that were truly able to become a soul denizen were just in the minority after all.


    But he had never heard before that someone could actually transform completely into the soul race in a hundred breaths.


    Furthermore, when Ye Yuan cut off his fetters with his original body, he was clearly still heavily injured.


    But in a blink, he became completely fine!


    Everything before their eyes already subverted their understanding.


    ��Therefore, can we set off now? Senior Apprentice Brother Yan!��


    Ye Yuan fired out a spell. Yan Jadetrue felt as if something had entered his soul body, and his expression could not help changing.


    His meaning was very clear. He wanted to have Yan Jadetrue bring him into the Nirvana Soul Hall.


    From now on, they might become apprentice brothers.


    Tsk tsk, truly, fate makes a mockery of men!


    Yan Jadetrue��s eyes shrunk slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��I can bring you over! But, you have to swear a deadly oath to release me after the matter is done!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��No problem. I have a feeling that you��re my lucky star! With you around, my luck seems to be good every time! So, there��s no need to kill you.��


    ��Pffft!��


    Yan Jadetrue nearly spurted out a mouthful of old blood.


    Of course, he was a soul body and did not have blood.


    In reality, if not for Yan Jadetrue, there really would not be today��s Ye Yuan.


    Afterward, if not for Yan Jadetrue��s guide, it would have been impossible for Ye Yuan to find the Labyrinth Divine Palace too.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s treasures established a solid foundation for Ye Yuan��s rise later on.


    This time, he delivered the Soul Recall Ring.


    Tsk tsk, such a nice guy!


    �� ��


    About to part, there was thick concern all over the faces of Wang Jun and the others.


    Severing fetters, infiltrating the soul race.


    This sort of thing was too crazy!


    The soul race has powerhouses plentiful as clouds. It was hard to predict the fortunes of this departure. Wang Jun could not help but worry.


    ��Alright, stop looking like your parents died! From now on, with Senior Apprentice Brother Yan and me in the Nirvana Soul Hall, you all can cultivate with peace of mind. Isn��t that so, Senior Apprentice Brother Yan?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    ��Humph!�� Yan Jadetrue snorted coldly.


    ��Wang Jun, my main body will be staying in the Sublime Pill Sect. Help me look after it,�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Ancestor, rest assured. Even if Wang Jun dies, I��ll also ensure your safety!�� Wang Jun patted his chest and said.

 Chapter 2918 - Scarlet Drill Three Sons!

    Chapter 2918: Scarlet Drill Three Sons!


    ��This place is the Lucid Forest. It��s the place where the Nirvana Soul Hall��s disciples cultivate and also one of the three stages of the entrance assessment. I��ve already helped you to make arrangements for the rest. As long as you clear the Lucid Forest, Soul Controlling Avenue, and Soul Refining Furnace, three stages, you��ll be able to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall,�� Yan Jadetrue pointed at a forest ahead as he explained.


    Nirvana Soul Hall was the inevitable path that led to the soul race.


    However, not all soul denizens had the qualifications to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall.


    This Nirvana Soul Hall was akin to a great sect. Wanting to enter it, one must pass a stringent test.


    This test was no joke. A moment of carelessness and one would die inside!


    Of course, the benefits of entering the Nirvana Soul Hall were immense too.


    The soul race��s control over resources was extremely strict.


    Entering the Nirvana Soul Hall, one would have the possibility of advancing to a higher level.


    Wanting to enter the core of the soul race, there was only through the Nirvana Soul Hall.


    Therefore, soul race powerhouses flocked to the Nirvana Soul Hall like ducks.


    Countless Soul Daos were set up in the Lucid Forest!


    Soul Dao was the lifetime comprehension of a soul denizen.


    Corroborating one��s own Dao with tens of thousands of Soul Dao, comprehending a Great Dao that belonged to yourself, that was the function of the Lucid Forest.


    However, being situated amidst tens of thousands of Soul Daos, it was also extremely easy to lose yourself.


    To the vast majority of the soul denizens, entering the Lucid Forest would often lead them astray, turning into one of the myriad Soul Daos inside.


    Of course, with danger, there were lucky chances too.


    Some people comprehended their own Great Dao in the Lucid Forest, their strength advancing by leaps and bounds.


    Hence, many Nirvana Soul Hall disciples similarly comprehended Dao inside.


    ��The time limit to pass the stage is three days! As long as you walk out of the Lucid Forest within three days, it��s considered clearing it,�� Yan Jadetrue said.


    The rest, he did not say much either.


    He knew Ye Yuan too well and knew that this Lucid Forest could not stump him.


    It was just that. He was somewhat curious just what level Ye Yuan could achieve.


    Actually, Yan Jadetrue originally wanted to show off his results. But, thinking about it, better forget it, in case he got slapped by Ye Yuan.


    Back then, when he entered the Lucid Forest, he only used 20 hours and walked out.


    This result was sufficient to rank in the top ten when looking at the entire Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall. It was really very impressive!


    Therefore, he was taken in as a disciple by Soul Emperor Sevenfeather too.


    What this stage tested was not talent but Dao heart.


    Only with a strong Dao heart could one remain lucid!


    But Yan Jadetrue knew that Ye Yuan��s Dao heart was frighteningly powerful!


    At this time, there were already many people who took the stage, waiting to enter the Lucid Forest.


    Ye Yuan also entered the crowd along with the flow.


    ��Get lost!��


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a path automatically opened up.


    A young man stepped forward with his hands behind his back, looking like he considered everything and everyone beneath his notice.


    The others seemed to be very fearful of him.


    Ye Yuan heard people starting to discuss beside him.


    ��Who are these three people? Why are they so arrogant!��


    ��You never heard of the Crimson Drill Three Sons? I didn��t expect that they would also come to take part in the test with us this time!��


    ��Qin Shitian, Zhou Yu, He Chen, these three all returned from the Scarlet Drill Battlefield! I heard that the three of them rendered illustrious achievements in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield and were taken in as honorary disciples by the three hall masters! It��s just waiting for after the assessment this time before they are accepted under their tutelage!��


    ��The three of them have corrupt energy that billows to the sky. I don��t even dare get close! Too strong! The top three this time will definitely be the three of them!��


    ��No wonder they are so haughty. They really have the capital to be arrogant!��


    �� ��


    Everyone sent the three people off with their eyes, walking through the crowd.


    Places that they passed by, all gave a wide berth!


    It was not that they wanted to retreat, but that they had no choice but to retreat!


    Compared to the others, these three people were simply head and shoulders above them.


    These three genuinely killed their way out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The corrupt energy on their bodies billowed to the sky, their soul bodies incomparably solid.


    Those who were slightly weaker, just this corrupt energy could turn them to ashes.


    Soul race powerhouses were not as weak as the human race��s origin divinity.


    Especially those like Qin Shitian three people, their soul bodies were already condensed to the extreme. Wanting to kill them was even harder than the blood race!


    The three people took big steps, as if there were nobody around.


    ��Humph! A bunch of trash also wants to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall, truly ignorant!�� Qin Shitian looked at everyone who retreated, a look of displeasure on his face.


    Zhou Yu smiled and said, ��Dreams are a must! However, taking the assessment in the same batch as us, they will doubt life, right?��


    He Chen��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��Sweeping a glance, there��s no one who can fight! These trash actually came to take part in the test too.��


    Zhou Yu said, ��Huhu, our goal isn��t just to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall! We��re not from the same world as them to begin with!��


    Qin Shitian snorted coldly and said, ��Taking the test together with these trash really spoils my appetite!��


    The three people did not have the intention of covering it up at all. Everyone could hear the words that were said.


    When everyone heard, their faces turned completely red.


    Those who dared to come and challenge the Nirvana Soul Hall��s test were not rookies.


    At least, they had some confidence in themselves.


    But, just as Zhou Yu said, they were somewhat doubting life.


    The Scarlet Drill Three Sons were too strong!


    As the three people walked, they arrived at Ye Yuan there very soon.


    The others backed away one after another. A middle True Sovereign Heaven next to Ye Yuan tugged at him and whispered, ��Still not backing away? You��re courting death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This Lucid Forest tests the Dao heart. If you retreat, is there still a need to enter the Lucid Forest?��


    That person was taken aback. Thinking about it, that was true.


    But, right at this time, a surging corrupt energy hit him head-on.


    His expression changed wildly, only feeling like his soul body was almost collapsing. He hurriedly retreated more than ten steps before stabilizing his figure.


    This way, Ye Yuan appeared especially conspicuous.


    The others immediately started discussing in whispers.


    ��Keeping up appearances to cover up his predicament? Retreat and you won��t be able to clear the Lucid Forest? What a joke!��


    ��How is this keeping up appearances to cover up his predicament, this is throwing away his life! The Scarlet Drill Three Sons together can directly make his soul body collapse!��


    ��Heh, there are really those who aren��t afraid of death these days!��


    �� ��


    Qin Shitian three people naturally saw Ye Yuan too.


    Qin Shitian��s brows furrowed slightly, very displeased in his heart.


    A place that they were passing through, there was actually someone who dared to not give way!


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan said earlier was not deliberately hidden. Everyone heard it, including the three of them.


    ��Humph! Ignorant thing! Without strength and you still dare to utter wild ravings, really courting death!��


    Qin Shitian gave a cold snort, the corrupt energy on his body suddenly skyrocketing severalfold!


    Zhou Yu also laughed lightly. Following that, his corrupt energy also skyrocketed!


    He Chen sneered coldly, similarly skyrocketing!


    The three people��s corrupt energy billowed straight to the clouds, enveloping everyone inside all at once.


    They did not deliberately target the others, but the expressions of the rest changed wildly, retreating again one after another.


    An extremely large empty lot formed around the trio.


    Apart from the three of them, there was only Ye Yuan left in that empty lot.


    Ye Yuan was in the center of the three people��s corrupt energy!


    Previously, they did not intentionally release corrupt energy. But now, they had the intention of taking Ye Yuan down a notch, forcing Ye Yuan to fall back.


    ��Retreat!�� When Qin Shitian walked by Ye Yuan, he bellowed.


    However, what Ye Yuan returned to him was just a slight smile.


    Unmoving as a pine tree!

 Chapter 2919 - Entering the Forest

    Awkward!


    Huge awkwardness!


    How resounding was that one word ��retreat��?


    However, Ye Yuan did not even take half a step.


    Apart from awkwardness at the entrance of the Lucid Forest, it was still awkwardness.


    Originally they thought that Ye Yuan, who was too weak to stand up to a gust of wind, would have to suffer serious injuries under this corrupt energy even if his soul did not dissipate.


    Who knew that he did not feel anything out of sorts at all.


    ��No way, right? That kid is clearly just middle True Sovereign Heaven, and he can actually resist Qin Shitian��s corrupt energy?��


    ��I heard that Qin Shitian��s corrupt energy can even suppress the blood race��s blood energy. It actually can��t suppress that kid!��


    ��It��s really embarrassing now. You look at Qin Shitian��s face. It turned green!��


    �� ��


    Qin Shitian��s awe-inspiring reputation was illustrious in the entire Scarlet Drill Battlefield and even Ning Lan Territory.


    But who could have thought that he actually suffered a loss in front of an unknown punk?!


    Zhou Yu was clearly a little more shrewd than the other two. He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Interesting! Really interesting! I didn��t expect that in the temple entrance assessment this time, I��d actually bump into an interesting little fellow. What��s your name?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly with a faint smile but turned around and left.


    The trio who remained had dumbfounded faces.


    This guy actually ignored them!


    There was actually someone who dared to ignore the Scarlet Drill Three Sons here!


    This time, even Zhou Yu lost composure.


    ��Punk, I��m talking to you. Are you deaf?�� Zhou Yu said in a cold voice.


    ��Want to posture, do it after passing the test. You haven��t even entered the Lucid Forest, and you��re flaunting your prowess here, making a spectacle of yourselves,�� Ye Yuan said coolly without even turning his head back.


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.


    Domineering enough!


    Far away, when Yan Jadetrue saw this scene, he could not help smiling broadly.


    Sure enough, it was very Ye Yuan-like!


    Although these three people were very strong, compared to Ye Yuan, they were still far off!


    The corrupt energy on the Scarlet Drill Three Sons�� bodies was extremely heavy. Their soul body was extremely solid. They were indeed not easy to deal with.


    But the path that Ye Yuan took was drastically different from theirs.


    The Scarlet Drill Three Sons experienced the battlefield for a long time, tempering their soul bodies like how humans train their physical bodies.


    But the path that Ye Yuan took was a Great Dao that led to heaven!


    Fighting with Ye Yuan, he felt that Ye Yuan��s origin divinity was akin to a vast expanse of fog, seemingly unreachable.


    Although the corrupt energy was heavy, it was not worth mentioning in front of Ye Yuan.


    Unless this corrupt energy reached the Emperor Realm, it had no way of affecting Ye Yuan at all.


    ��Huhu, looks like someone is going to challenge us this time! Interesting! Very interesting!�� Qin Shitian laughed coldly without ceasing, but his eyes were already somber to the extreme.


    These three people were all ruthless and cruel, having killed countless people.


    The humans and blood kins that died in their hands were beyond count.


    Originally they thought that this time, it would be a competition between the three of them. Who knew that there was actually someone who dared to provoke them.


    But Zhou Yu smiled and said, ��Isn��t that great? Originally I thought that it would be boring this time. Wrecking a brat who doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth while we��re at it is pretty good too. It��s just I don��t know whether or not he can get out of the Lucid Forest!��


    People familiar with him all knew that Zhou Yu already had killing intent aroused.


    Right at this time, a figure appeared in the sky above the Lucid Forest.


    Emperor Realm powerhouse!


    ��Alright, everyone is already here. Enter the Lucid Forest! With three days as the time limit, after three days, those who can��t come out will naturally be transported out. However, if you can��t even last three days, then you can��t blame anyone. Now, you all can still choose to withdraw,�� the Emperor Realm powerhouse said loudly.


    Nobody moved. Those who came here naturally already knew the danger of the Lucid Forest.


    The Emperor Realm powerhouse smiled slightly and said, ��Since nobody backed out, enter the forest!��


    Under his word of command, thousands of soul race geniuses entered the Lucid Forest in succession.


    There was a light screen before the forest. The light dots on the light screen represented everyone��s positions.


    Whoever��s light dot disappeared, it represented that their will had already been wiped away, turning into a part of the Lucid Forest.


    Each time they entered the forest, there would be hundreds of people who fell in the end.


    Not long after everyone entered the Lucid Forest, several figures landed.


    That Emperor Realm powerhouse��s pupils constricted slightly, and he hurriedly bowed and said, ��Paying respects to three hall masters! Paying respects to elders!��


    ��Mn, you carry on hosting the Lucid Forest, don��t need to care about us!��


    ��Yes!��


    It turned out that it was actually the hall master and two vice hall masters arriving in person!


    A slight chill ran down the backs of the forest guardian, looks like the three hall masters value these three honorary disciples very highly!


    Hall Master Great Emperor Eastsun, Vice Hall Master Great Emperor Westdawn, Great Emperor Woodrelease, these three people were all Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm mighty experts.


    To be able to receive attention from the three of them, the weight of the Scarlet Drill Three Sons could be seen.


    Apart from them, Yan Jadetrue��s master, Soul Emperor Sevenfeather, also arrived.


    ��Master!�� Yan Jadetrue said with a bow.


    When Sevenfeather saw Yan Jadetrue, he was also slightly surprised and said, ��You��re here too?��


    Yan Jadetrue said, ��Yes, this disciple made a good friend when I went out this time. He wants to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall too. So I arranged for him to join the temple entrance assessment.��


    Sevenfeather nodded slightly. This kind of thing was very common and not a big deal.


    But Yan Jadetrue was incredibly disappointed in his heart.


    He placed hopes on that his master could see through what was wrong in his soul body.


    But sadly, nope!


    It seemed like Ye Yuan��s method was extremely brilliant. Even an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm mighty expert was completely clueless.


    ��Who��s your good friend?�� Sevenfeather asked.


    ��This �� That last one is called Ye Yuan.�� There was everyone��s name on the light screen.


    Sevenfeather could not help laughing as he said, ��The periphery��s baneful souls are the fewest. He��s still wandering around the perimeter until now. Most likely �� it will be very hard to survive three days, right?��


    Yan Jadetrue could not help smiling bitterly. He was perplexed too.


    With Ye Yuan��s Dao heart, he should advance very quickly. But, he actually stopped right at the beginning.


    This showed that he was already beguiled!


    Concerning the Lucid Forest, the deeper in, the more wandering souls and the stronger they were. The beguiling power also grew stronger.


    ��Huhu, Martial Uncle Sevenfeather, this kid was still picking a fight with the Scarlet Drill Three Sons earlier, I was wondering how strong he was. Who knew that this kid can��t even break through the outer-perimeter. What a piece of trash! Huhu, Junior Apprentice Brother Jadetrue��s strength is decent, but his eyesight in making friends is too lousy. That Scarlet Drill Three Sons are indeed well-deserving of being the three hall masters�� honorary disciples. At this rate of advancement, most likely �� they will be breaking the record!��


    The one speaking was called Jiang Hao. He was also an elder��s disciple. His strength was almost on par with Yan Jadetrue.


    Between the two, they contended with each other overtly and covertly as well.


    That scene earlier, he was present too and naturally took it into his sights.


    Originally he thought that Ye Yuan had some abilities, to be able to block the Scarlet Drill Three Sons�� corrupt energy. Who knew that he was so useless.


    Seeing Yan Jadetrue get deflated at this time, he naturally could not resist coming out to deal two kicks in.


    When he said this, Sevenfeather��s face was also rather awkward. His expression turned dark, looking at Yan Jadetrue with a dark expression.


    What kind of rubbish friend did you make?


    Putting aside that his strength was weak, he even offended the hall master��s honorary disciple. Wasn��t this secretly reporting himself?


    He, an exalted Emperor Vast Heaven, could not afford to lose this face!


    Looking at the Scarlet Drill Three Sons again, they were virtually advancing at an equal pace and already rushed three miles into the forest!


    The Lucid Forest was not big. It was only ten square miles.


    But the deeper in, the slower one would get.

 Chapter 2920 - You Cheated!

    Upon entering the Lucid Forest, countless aura of Daos hit him head-on.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over, having some enlightenment.


    Hence, he started to study it carefully.


    What he cultivated was the soul race��s sacred canon, his comprehension of the Dao of Soul was extremely deep.


    Regarding these so-called Daos, Ye Yuan understood them with one glance.


    After studying for a while, Ye Yuan discovered that it was �� dull.


    These Daos were all too superficial. It did not give him much inspiration.


    Of course, he understood that this was due to Divine Emergence being too profound.


    The more he cultivated, the more Ye Yuan discovered the extensiveness and profoundness of Divine Emergence, pointing straight at the origin of Soul Dao.


    Only at this time did he remember that he seemed to be taking part in an assessment.


    There was no one around him a long time ago.


    Hence, he took large strides forward.


    The surrounding Daos got more and more and also increasingly profound, as if it could let people reach out and grasp the Dao.


    The Lucid Forest was to let people hold fast to their Dao hearts.


    The more Daos you saw, you would waver in your own Dao heart.


    In this Lucid Forest, you could not avoid these so-called Daos at all. It did not need to be looked at using the naked eye at all but directly came into contact with the soul body.


    But, to Ye Yuan, these could not affect him in the slightest at all.


    Putting aside how powerful Divine Emergence was, one could only say that Ye Yuan��s Dao heart was not an ordinary kind of strong!


    He was a man who dared to point at heaven with his sword!


    Hence, his speed of advancement was incomparably fast.


    Ten miles was merely a twinkle to a True Sovereign Heaven.


    Hence, Ye Yuan came out after several breaths.


    �� ��


    Outside of the Lucid Forest, Great Emperor Eastsun three people were currently discussing their honorary disciples.


    ��Qin Shitian indeed doesn��t fall short of this old man��s expectations! Among the three people, his skill is a level higher in the end!�� Great Emperor Eastsun stroked his beard and said with a smile.


    Great Emperor Westdawn was indifferent as he said, ��It seems to be too early for Brother Eastsun to draw a conclusion now, right? There are huge variables in the Lucid Forest. Moreover, Qin Shitian isn��t in the lead by much. Zhou Yu has always been reserved. He definitely won��t lose in this Lucid Forest stage!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun said coolly, ��Then, just wait and see �� see ����


    Suddenly, Great Emperor Eastsun��s eyes became wide saucers. Even his words became stutters.


    It was because a light dot surpassed Qin Shitian three people like lightning and reached the end point in a few breaths of time.


    Great Emperor Westdawn smiled and said, ��Brother Eastsun, it��s merely a competition among juniors. Why do you have to be so agitated?��


    Agitated my *ss!


    Are you freaking �� blind?


    Uh, it seems like this guy did not see the light screen.


    Drawing a deep breath, Great Emperor Eastsun said, ��Somebody came out!��


    ��S-Someone came out?�� Great Emperor Westdawn wondered whether this guy was joking or not.


    But right then, there was suddenly a commotion from the crowd.


    ��This is also too fast, right? Just now, my attention was fully on Qin Shitian three people, I didn��t even see clearly who that was!��


    ��Me too! This �� wouldn��t be some problem with the light screen, right?��


    ��Something is definitely wrong with the light screen! This Lucid Forest��s record is 6 hours and 15 minutes. Even if someone broke the record, it��s also impossible to be so fast, right?��


    �� ��


    They only saw a light dot flash past, then it disappeared.


    As for who it was, everyone really did not see clearly.


    Because everyone��s attention was all placed on the Scarlet Drill Three Sons.


    This was also the biggest highlight of the assessment this time.


    But very soon, a figure appeared before everyone��s eyes.


    Shockingly, it was Ye Yuan!


    The forest guardian was also somewhat absent-minded. His focus just now was also on Qin Shitian three people.


    By the time he became aware of it, someone had already come out.


    Ye Yuan looked at the forest guardian and asked, ��Senior, am I considered to have passed?��


    The forest guardian had a blank expression. Nodding his head, then shaking his head again, he questioned: ��H-How can you be so fast?��


    Ye Yuan countered with a question, ��It��s merely ten miles. Isn��t it a snap of a finger to us?��


    The forest guardian was taken aback and immediately said angrily, ��Hang on! You �� You were clearly stuck in the beginning just now. How did you clear it so quickly? You cheated!��


    Everyone��s hearts eased up. It turned out that he was cheating!


    Sure enough, only cheating could be so fast, no?


    The forest guardian had already been at this Lucid Forest for many years.


    The geniuses that he had seen before were beyond countable.


    But, no matter how outstandingly talented, it was also impossible to clear the Lucid Forest so quickly.


    Therefore, it could only be cheating.


    If you cheated, forget it. The main characters this time were the Scarlet Drill Three Sons. You stole their limelight, wasn��t this slapping the faces of the three great hall masters?


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was amused. ��Since Senior said that I cheated, then this junior will go again. Senior can enter the forest to inspect. If there��s any problem, Senior can strike me dead on the spot. How about that?��


    The forest guardian��s old face turned red. Ye Yuan��s speed was too fast. He could not keep up!


    Although he was an Emperor Realm powerhouse, he also could not be unmoving as a pine tree in this Lucid Forest.


    ��I��ll go!�� At this time, Great Emperor Eastsun spoke up.


    He also did not believe that Ye Yuan could pass through the Lucid Forest in such a short time.


    This sort of thing had never happened before. It was too bizarre.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands at Great Emperor Eastsun and entered the forest again.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s figure moved and entered the Lucid Forest too.


    Upon entering the forest, Great Emperor Eastsun��s pupils constricted. Ye Yuan��s figure sped towards the distances like lightning.


    The countless Soul Daos around him could not affect Ye Yuan in the slightest.


    Great Emperor Eastsun also stepped forward, incredibly shocked in his heart.


    These low-level Soul Daos were naturally unable to affect him too much.


    But there was ultimately some influence.


    He unleashed all of his ability and could only eat dust behind Ye Yuan in the end.


    In merely several breaths of time from start to finish, the two people came out of the Lucid Forest very quickly.


    Everyone held their breaths, waiting for Great Emperor Eastsun��s ruling.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s heart was in shock currently.


    What a powerful Dao heart!


    He shook his head slightly at Westdawn two people and said, ��This boy didn��t cheat!��


    Whoosh!


    Outside the Lucid Forest, it completely burst into an uproar.


    ��How is this possible? It��s merely five breaths of time from start to end!��


    ��How does this result expect people to live?��


    ��No wonder he turned his nose up at the Scarlet Drill Three Sons. This�� is simply a one-sided beating!��


    �� ��


    This result was too explosive.


    Explosive until everyone did not dare believe it.


    Jiang Hao��s expression was like he had eaten a fly.


    Sure enough, Yan Jadetrue��s mocking voice entered his ears very quickly. ��Huhu, What Brother Jiang Hao said is right. My eyesight is indeed extremely poor, but I failed to discern that Brother Ye was actually so impressive! However, Brother Jiang Hao��s eyesight seems to be worse than mine. Ye Yuan��s result can brutalize the Scarlet Drill Three Sons already, right?��


    More than brutalize, it was simply a catastrophic mangling!


    Entering the Lucid Forest, the shorter the time, the more difficult it was.


    After so many years, everyone kept refreshing the record continuously. It was incredibly difficult to improve it again by a few breaths.


    But now, the record was no longer important.


    It was because it was impossible for anyone to be able to beat Ye Yuan��s record.

 Chapter 2921 - Youve Already Worked Very Hard!

    The assessment was still ongoing. Qin Shitian three people were still advancing at high speed.


    Of course, this ��high-speed�� was in the past.


    Everyone looked at the moving light dots on the light screen as if seeing their hard work in the Lucid Forest.


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, their hard work seemed so laughable.


    Everyone was imagining Qin Shitian three people��s expressions after coming out.


    Finally, six hours�� time was up, Qin Shitian��s light dot vanished!


    ��Hahaha �� Six hours! I broke the Lucid Forest��s record! I, Qin Shitian, am Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall��s number one!��


    The moment his figure appeared, he let out a burst of loud laughter.


    He felt invigorated to the extreme in his heart!


    Overpowering Zhou Yu and He Chen, he even broke the Lucid Forest��s strongest record!


    He was already fantasizing how his master would praise him.


    Strongest in history!


    How glorious was this!


    Before this, the Lucid Forest��s strongest record was six hours and 15 minutes.


    He, Qin Shitian, forcibly moved this record up by 15 minutes!


    This was already a huge improvement.


    This achievement was absolutely enough to ignite the entire Nirvana Soul Hall if there wasn��t Ye Yuan��s existence.


    Very soon, Zhou Yu and He Chen came out of the forest successively, the expressions on their faces rather complicated.


    The two of them similarly broke the record.


    It was just that they lost to Qin Shitian.


    Qin Shitian laughed loudly and said, ��The two of you, don��t make this kind of expression. Losing to me isn��t some disgraceful thing! After all, you guys broke Senior Apprentice Brother Jiu Yuan��s record too!��


    Zhou Yu had an unkind expression as he said, ��What are you being smug for? You were merely lucky! If not for encountering several troublesome Daos on the way, I might not have lost to you!��


    Qin Shitian said smugly, ��Losing is losing; why are you finding excuses? The Lucid Forest is fair to everybody; otherwise, it wouldn��t have been used as a test too. Why? Can��t afford to bear a loss?��


    Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said, ��What can��t afford to bear a loss? Sooner or later, you��ll be my defeated foe!��


    ��Oh, right, where��s that arrogant kid?�� He Chen, who had not said a word, suddenly said.


    Qin Shitian was taken aback and immediately laughed loudly and said, ��That kid is probably eating dust behind us, right? Hahaha �� But that punk has some capability. It shouldn��t be hard to pass the test.��


    The three people chattered like nobody was around, walking in front of the forest guardian.


    The three of them were immersed in the joy of breaking the record and did not feel the strange atmosphere at all.


    Of course, they also did not see the Ye Yuan in the crowd.


    Qin Shitian gave Great Emperor Eastsun a bow from afar and said excitedly, ��Master, this disciple thankfully didn��t fail the mission, winning the top spot and breaking Senior Apprentice Brother Jiu Yuan��s record! At long last, I didn��t let down Master��s expectations!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression was strange, and he said with a nod, ��Mn, you �� you��ve already worked very hard.��


    Qin Shitian was stupefied.


    W-Worked very hard?


    What was the meaning of this?


    At this time, shouldn��t Master be lauding him with praises?


    Why did it seem like he was consoling him?


    This script was not right!


    ��Master ����


    Qin Shitian suddenly lifted his head, and at this time, he finally noticed the Ye Yuan who was beside Yan Jadetrue, and his entire person was immediately petrified.


    When did this guy come out?


    Clearly, no one came out from just now until now!


    Qin Shitian��s head was somewhat disoriented, unable to wrap itself around things for some time.


    Great Emperor Eastsun heaved a slight sigh and said, ��Shitian, your performance is already very good. It��s just that sadly �� you didn��t break the record! Because before you, Ye Yuan has already broken the record!��


    Qin Shitian three people were akin to being struck by lightning at the same time, looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    This guy was actually faster than the three of them?


    This �� How was this possible?


    He forcibly increased Senior Apprentice Brother Jiu Yuan��s record by 15 minutes!


    Could it be that this guy actually cleared within six hours?


    ��This is impossible! How can this punk possibly surpass six hours?�� Qin Shitian blurted out.


    Great Emperor Eastsun seriously could not bear to demoralize this honorary disciple, but the reality was this cruel!


    ��Six hours? Huhu, six hours is enough for Ye Yuan to go back and forth several thousand times in the Lucid Forest!�� The one who spoke was Sevenfeather.


    Just now, Ye Yuan already rejected Great Emperor Eastsun��s invitation.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan already had the intention of entering his tutelage.


    After all, he was brought by Yan Jadetrue!


    Previously, he was still blaming Yan Jadetrue for being a busybody and embarrassing him.


    But now, no matter how he looked at Yan Jadetrue, he found him pleasing to the eye.


    Having accepted such a heaven-defying disciple, even the master felt honored too!


    ��Several thousand times! You��re bull �� this is absolutely impossible!��


    When the word ��bullsh*t�� reached the tip of his tongue, Qin Shitian forcibly swallowed it back.


    Soul Emperor Sevenfeather was not someone that he could offend.


    Sure enough, Sevenfeather��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��With Hall Master here, could it be that this seat will still crack jokes with you, a junior? After Ye Yuan entered the Lucid Forest, he only used five breaths of time before clearing it!��


    ��F-Five breaths?�� Qin Shitian three people spoke in one voice, almost biting their tongues off.


    Qin Shitian used a probing gaze to look at Great Emperor Eastsun. The latter nodded his head helplessly and said, ��That��s right; it��s five breaths! This seat already examined it. It��s not fake.��


    Boom!


    Qin Shitian felt like his soul body was about to explode!


    This was too demoralizing.


    The three of them killed countless enemies on the Scarlet Drill Battlefield and had long already cultivated their Dao hearts like it was vajra.


    Six hours was absolutely a result that was worthy of being proud of.


    But someone actually only used five breaths?


    Qin Shitian felt that everyone was cracking a joke with him.


    There were naturally not just Qin Shitian three geniuses participating in the assessment.


    In reality, this batch of soul race geniuses were really quite a few.


    Very soon, someone came out in succession.


    It was just that after they came out, without exception, they were all deeply shocked by the result of five breaths.


    Originally, they were somewhat patting themselves on their backs for having obtained a decent result.


    But at this time, they had already begun to doubt life.


    Three days later, the Lucid Forest assessment ended.


    In the end, there were 372 people who passed the Lucid Forest.


    And there were more than 200 people who died in the Lucid Forest.


    The people who passed the test arrived at the second stage, Soul Controlling Avenue.


    Originally, Great Emperor Eastsun and the rest of the powerhouses came over just to conveniently take a casual look.


    After all, this level of test was not really considered a big deal to them.


    But now, because of Ye Yuan��s sudden emergence, all of the Emperor Realm powerhouses arrived at the Soul Controlling Avenue.


    Soul Controlling Avenue, it was established between two mountain peaks and was a transparent passageway.


    The so-called Soul Controlling Avenue was actually a test of the examinee��s defensive ability.


    To the soul race, defensive strength was an extremely important ability.


    After the physical bodies of other races were destroyed, their soul bodies could exist independently.


    But the soul race, once they were exterminated, that was a true death.


    Therefore, to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall, one��s defensive strength must pass.


    And this was precisely the forte of Qin Shitian and the others!


    They slaughtered wildly in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield and had long already tempered their soul bodies like steel.


    After these few days of digestion, the three people had already come around to it.


    After all, they were powerhouses who had experienced countless life and deaths!


    Qin Shitian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold snort, ��Punk, passing the Lucid Forest is no big deal! The Soul Controlling Avenue is the true test of strength! This time, I��m going to let you know what��s called a true powerhouse!��

 Chapter 2922 - Tempering Soul Body!

    ��It��s still that sentence; want to posture, do it after passing. Talking until flowers cascaded from the skies here, wouldn��t it be very embarrassing if you get face-slapped in a while?�� Ye Yuan was indifferent and said nonchalantly.


    Qin Shitian��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Then we��ll see who gets face-slapped after getting out of the Soul Controlling Avenue!��


    An Emperor Realm powerhouse appeared in front of everyone and said loudly, ��Soul Controlling Avenue has a total of ten segments. Passing two segments will be considered passing the test. This Soul Controlling Avenue has the effect of tempering the soul body. It��s greatly beneficial to you guys. But this seat urges you all to act within your capability, or else you��ll die! At present, the best result of the temper entrance assessment is peak fifth segment!��


    Qin Shitian trio secretly resolved themselves. This time, they were definitely going to sweep Ye Yuan��s face away!


    Since the Scarlet Drill Battlefield, the three people��s present accomplishments were not accomplished overnight.


    Their soul bodies were extremely solid.


    Great Emperor Eastsun had once said before, with the sturdiness of Qin Shitian��s soul body, he could at least reach the sixth segment too!


    This was also to say that there was virtually no suspense in him breaking the shackle of the fifth segment.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan could still contend with him in this round!


    Under his word of command, over 300 people entered with a whoosh.


    Upon entering the Soul Controlling Avenue, the divine soul attacks that blotted out the skies and covered the earth came over to greet them.


    Many soul race powerhouses unleashed various methods to resist these divine soul attacks.


    However, many soul race powerhouses started crying bitterness without ceasing.


    ��The first segment is already so freakish. This is killing people!��


    ��Just what kind of freaks entered the Nirvana Soul Hall!��


    ��Ouch, I can��t! I can��t anymore! I��m going to withdraw!��


    �� ��


    Coming out from the first round, these 300 over people were naturally all elites.


    But very soon, someone could not hold on anymore.


    The endless divine soul attacks were like a violent storm, raiding these soul race powerhouses.


    Each second, they practically had to answer more than ten divine soul attacks.


    It was simply seamless until not even wind could penetrate!


    The Soul Controlling Avenue was similarly ten miles long.


    Each mile was a segment.


    But now, before talking 1000 feet out, someone had already collapsed.


    Of course, if there were weaklings, there were powerhouses too.


    Qin Shitian three people did not have any reaction to this violent storm-like attack at all.


    In fact, they did not even use defensive mystic arts.


    The first segment was too effortless for them.


    The three people virtually rushed to the second segment��s checkpoint while keeping abreast of one another at the fastest speed.


    The checkpoint in front of them was not difficult. They had to conserve soul strength to resist the checkpoints at the back.


    At this time, the three people turned around to look without prior agreement and discovered that many people had already caught up.


    But they did not see Ye Yuan��s figure and could not help letting out a sigh of relief.


    This fellow indeed could not make it anymore!


    During this round, it is our turn to perform!


    ��Heh, that punk seemed impressive, but it��s also nothing more than this! In this round, what it relies on is the soul body! The three of us definitely won��t lose to anyone!�� Qin Shitian said with a cold smile.


    ��After getting out, we have to teach that punk a lesson!�� Zhou Yu��s expression also became dark.


    ��That��s of course! Your Father roamed the battlefield unobstructed and haven��t lost so much face before! This time, I��ll see how that punk can be arrogant!�� Qin Shitian said with a cold snort.


    Remembering the first round, it was really an utter loss of face.


    Not only did he lose face, he even implicated Great Emperor Eastsun in losing face too!


    Finished saying, the three people entered the second segment without even turning their heads back.


    In the second segment, not only did the number of divine soul attacks increase manifold, the power also multiplied.


    To everyone, it was an enormous test.


    Qin Shitian three people did not dare to be careless either, displaying defensive mystic arts one after another and continued advancing.


    Outside of the Soul Controlling Avenue, Great Emperor Eastsun and the rest nodded with slight smiles, clearly quite pleased with the performance of Qin Shitian three people.


    ��Huhu, arriving at the Soul Controlling Avenue, Ye Yuan has indeed revealed his true colors! This seat sees that each step he takes is very taxing!�� Great Emperor Westdawn said with a laugh.


    Great Emperor Eastsun also smiled and said, ��In terms of soul body, most likely among True Sovereign Heavens, someone stronger than the three of them really can��t be found. The Scarlet Drill Battlefield is akin to a meat grinder. The three of them fought with real swords and spears, killing their way out a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! Their soul bodies have already reached the limit of True Sovereign Heaven.��


    Great Emperor Woodrelease said, ��Dao heart is heaven-defying, but it has to be matched with corresponding strength too! Otherwise, it will be akin to a rootless weed, too weak to stand up to anything. If let Ye Yuan fights with the three of them, he��ll probably not be able to last one exchange with them!��


    All the powerhouses nodded one after another, clearly quite agreeing with it.


    Sevenfeather��s face was a little ugly.


    He also did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so useless.


    In the second round, he actually ended up last!


    Most likely, he would not even be able to pull through the first segment.


    This time, even Yan Jadetrue was puzzled too.


    He knew that in terms of soul body, Ye Yuan was indeed not considered strong.


    Ye Yuan��s powerful aspect was his miraculous soul path mystic arts.


    Could it be that he was really going to be disappointed this time?


    Very soon, many powerhouses passed through the first segment one after another. The people left behind in the first segment became fewer and fewer.


    Some were seriously injured by soul path attacks and were already unable to continue the assessment and could only withdraw.


    But Ye Yuan was still several thousand feet away from the checkpoint of the first segment.


    And at this time, Qin Shitian three people had already passed through the second segment and entered the third segment!


    The speed made people tongue-tied.


    Great Emperor Eastsun smiled and said, ��This Ye Yuan��s Dao heart is powerful, making him rather stubborn. He could actually hold out until now.��


    Great Emperor Westdawn chuckled and said, ��No matter how stubborn he is, it��s no use too. Even if he can pass the first segment, the second segment��s number and power are all multiplied. It��s simply impossible for him to pass through. In fact, he might directly turn to ashes after entering the second segment! In my view, he��s courting death here!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun did not care about Ye Yuan any longer but looked toward Qin Shitian and said with a smile, ��Shitian this child still has quite the potential. He has already gradually shaken off the two of them. This seat reckons that there shouldn��t be a problem in him entering the sixth segment. It��s just I don��t know how far he can walk in the sixth segment.��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s expressions changed one after another.


    They did not think that Great Emperor Eastsun actually regarded Qin Shitian so highly.


    Forget about the sixth segment; the difficulty of the fifth segment was already hell level.


    When these big shots in front of them were at True Sovereign Heaven Realm, it was impossible to make it to the sixth segment too!


    Qin Shitian was really monstrous!


    In the Soul Controlling Avenue, Ye Yuan paused with each step, enduring the divine soul attacks from all directions.


    With the Divine Emergence��s methods, it was too easy to want to block these divine soul attacks.


    But he did not.


    These divine soul attacks actually had the effect of tempering the soul body!


    Hence, he did not want to waste this opportunity.


    The first stage was useless to him, so he cleared it very fast.


    But this stage was different.


    These divine soul attacks hammered his soul body continuously, making his soul body become powerful.


    Just as Yan Jadetrue conjectured, his soul body was very ordinary.


    A human��s origin divinity was not of soul race��s after all.


    Ye Yuan��s origin divinity resided in his sea of consciousness the vast majority of the time.


    He really wanted to try what kind of level his soul body could attain!

 Chapter 2923 - Creating a Miracle!

    ��Haha, the two of you can��t do it! My soul body is about to break through right away and reach six wroughts!��


    Qin Shitian��s unbridled laughter came from in front.


    At this time, the three of them had already made it to the fourth segment, the disparity also gradually manifested.


    Qin Shitian already shook the other two people more than a hundred feet behind.


    Furthermore, it showed signs of being shaken off further and further!


    Apart from this, Qin Shitian��s soul body became increasingly erratic, an appearance of going to advance ranks.


    Soul body was a kind of unique existence. In each realm, the strength of the soul body was divided into ten wroughts.


    This magnitude was different from the human race and true spirit clan��s fleshy bodies.


    If what humans and the true spirit clan pursued were hardness, then what the soul body pursued was tenacity.


    The greater the tenacity, the harder it was to kill!


    If a True Sovereign Heaven soul denizen��s soul body could reach ten wroughts, even if an Emperor Cloud Heaven came, it would be difficult to kill them too!


    Of course, to the Nirvana Soul Hall, ten wroughts belonged to an existence in legends.


    Nobody could reach the realm of ten wroughts at all.


    At this time, Qin Shitian��s soul body was about to reach six wroughts. This was already extremely shocking.


    Finally, Qin Shitian took the lead and charged into the Soul Controlling Avenue��s fifth segment!


    Then, his soul body became even clearer, as if a crystalline sculpture.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��Broke through! Six wroughts! Even if it��s this seat, I didn��t reach this step back then too!��


    ��Hiss ����


    From the powerhouses there came a series of cold air being sucked in.


    Six wroughts, that was already the soul body strength in the legends!


    ��This guy is too strong! Six wroughts, even if he stands there to try to kill him, I can��t kill him either!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    ��Although there was an upset in the Lucid Forest, in this round, Qin Shitian finally regained face!��


    ��Ye Yuan was ultimately just taking advantage by trickery in the Lucid Forest! In terms of strength, he��s far worse than Qin Shitian!��


    �� ��


    Under the Soul Controlling Avenue, many people were discussing animatedly.


    At this time, there were already many people who came out. Some had passed two segments, succeeding in the test, but some had already been eliminated.


    But the strength that Qin Shitian revealed suppressed all of the questioning voices.


    Qin Shitian after six wroughts had the air of a king who returned.


    Many people looked toward Ye Yuan again. They could not help revealing sympathetic gazes.


    This guy was still milling around in the first segment until now.


    ��Mn? Seems like there��s already no way of upgrading. I��ll enter the second segment then.�� Right at this time, Ye Yuan discovered that the first segment��s tempering already had no effect on him.


    And his soul body already reached peak two wroughts as well!


    Ye Yuan discovered that the divine soul attacks in the Soul Controlling Avenue were very special.


    Rather than say that it was a test, it was better to say that it was a kind of tempering!


    Entering the second segment, the number and power of the divine soul attacks immediately doubled!


    Ye Yuan revolved the Divine Emergence and started guiding these divine soul attacks, tempering his soul body.


    Hence, he entered the realm of three wroughts smoothly.


    It was just that at this time, there was already no one who paid attention to him.


    Qin Shitian already caused a great sensation.


    The people all wanted to see just which step Qin Shitian could walk until.


    After entering the fifth segment, Qin Shitian��s pressure suddenly increased.


    They clearly felt that Qin Shitian was straining much more than before.


    Even if he entered the realm of six wroughts.


    However, he was still advancing with strong determination!


    He got nearer and nearer to the sixth segment, the people were already holding their breaths.


    ��Broke through!��


    Right when Qin Shitian stepped into the sixth segment, someone shouted at the top of their voice.


    This moment was seriously too exciting.


    ��Qin Shitian broke through two records in a row! This guy is really monstrous!��


    ��The accumulations of the Scarlet Drill Battlefield finally erupted at this moment! This guy��s future accomplishments are immeasurable!��


    ��You guys, look! That Ye Yuan is still persevering! Compared to Qin Shitian, he��s just like a clown now!��


    �� ��


    The crowd was boiling over with excitement!


    At this time, the inconceivable record that Ye Yuan made in the Lucid Forest, everyone selectively had forgotten about it.


    After all, having Dao heart in vain without strength, everything was futile.


    And Qin Shitian broke the records of the two stages in a row. This absolutely set the world on fire!


    It was because the records of these two rounds were not maintained by the same person!


    Even Great Emperor Eastsun��s breathing became irregular too.


    He had long predicted that Qin Shitian could step into the sixth segment.


    But all the way until this moment arrived, he was still somewhat uncontrollably agitated.


    After all, it was too hard to come by.


    Someone noticed Ye Yuan. He finally made it to the second segment.


    Furthermore, he did not die yet!


    His perseverance seemed to have been rewarded.


    But, under Qin Shitian��s light, Ye Yuan��s perseverance appeared so laughable.


    Right at this time, Zhou Yu and He Chen two people finally could not endure and withdrew.


    They only reached the peak fifth segment in the end. They were naturally not satisfied with this result.


    In the assessment this time, Qin Shitian completely shook the two of them off!


    However, being able to reach the peak fifth segment, it was also sufficient to show their strength.


    And Qin Shitian was still continuing to advance forward!


    At this time, the entire Soul Controlling Avenue only had Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian two people remaining.


    At the back, Ye Yuan, who was slowly crawling like a tortoise, appeared especially glaring to the eye.


    When Zhou Yu saw this scene, he smiled coldly and said, ��This punk is really impressive. I even thought that he could make it to the tenth segment this time! After half a day, he��s just at the second segment. What a joke!��


    The fury of failure ultimately needed a channel to vent.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan was very suitable.


    He Chen also said disdainfully, ��Ignorant thing! This bit of skill and he also dares to swagger in front of us! Really almost got intimidated by him!��


    However, everyone��s attention was still on Qin Shitian.


    Entering the sixth segment, Qin Shitian��s speed clearly slowed down significantly.


    Each step that he took seemed to require all the strength in his body.


    But he did not give up.


    Just like that, he headed towards the seventh segment step by step.


    Following his footsteps, he got nearer and nearer to the seventh segment. Everyone��s hearts were virtually leaping out of their throats.


    Too exciting!


    Could it be that Qin Shitian could still create an even greater miracle and reach the seventh segment?


    1000 feet!


    700 feet!


    300 feet!


    He got closer and closer to the seventh segment.


    The expression on Qin Shitian��s face was hideous until it was virtually contorted.


    His soul body also suffered immense damage.


    The sixth segment��s divine soul attacks were too terrifying!


    Hundreds of divine soul attacks assaulted at the same time. It was simply like a bombardment.


    Qin Shitian��s soul body was attacked until it virtually distorted.


    Finally, he gave up when he was still around 200 feet away from the seventh segment.


    The whole place boiled over with excitement!


    ��What a shame, just 200 feet!��


    ��Almost created history!��


    ��But reaching the peak sixth segment is already unbelievably impressive! Most likely, nobody can break this record within a few thousand years!��


    ��Scarlet Drill Three Sons, with this, Qin Shitian really left them far behind in the dust!��


    �� ��


    Everyone was marveling in admiration. This result was seriously too monstrous.


    Different from the Lucid Forest, what the Soul Controlling Avenue competed in was bona fide strength.


    Qin Shitian challenging this assessment this time shocked the entire Nirvana Soul Hall!

 Chapter 2924 - I Understand!

    ��Good! Good! Good! This seat indeed didn��t make an error of judgment! Are the two of you convinced this time?��


    Great Emperor Eastsun said good three times in a row. His satisfaction with Qin Shitian could be seen.


    In the Scarlet Drill Battlefield, Great Emperor Eastsun took fancy on Qin Shitian at a glance and felt very optimistic about him.


    Otherwise, he also would not have specially come to watch the temper entrance assessment.


    A mere True Sovereign Heaven was not yet worthy of the master of a hall to raise a big rumpus and specially come to watch.


    Great Emperor Westdawn and Great Emperor Woodrelease��s faces did not look good.


    These three great hall masters were secretly competing when choosing disciples too.


    Actually, in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield, Qin Shitian three people��s performances were virtually on par.


    But now, the gap was pulled apart all of a sudden.


    Zhou Yu and He Chen two people, their performance was actually already very good.


    But, compared to Qin Shitian, the difference was too big.


    ��Congratulations, Hall Master, for finding a fine disciple!�� Great Emperor Sevenfeather came forward to congratulate.


    ��Congratulations, Hall Master! Felicitations, Hall Master!��


    ��Our Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall finally has a six wroughts powerhouse too! Qin Shitian this boy��s future is limitless!��


    �� ��


    The other Emperor Realms also came forward to give their felicitations one after another.


    When Great Emperor Eastsun heard, he was naturally very happy.


    Between the soul race��s various major Nirvana Soul Halls, there was naturally competitions with each other too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    The Nirvana Soul Hall needed to send geniuses to the clan. This way, what the geniuses obtain in the future would also be enjoyed by the Nirvana Soul Hall.


    It was just that Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall rarely had heaven-defying geniuses appear.


    Now that they had, Great Emperor Eastsun was naturally very happy.


    At this time, Qin Shitian already exited the Soul Controlling Avenue too. Arriving before Great Emperor Eastsun, he knelt and said, ��This disciple admits my mistake and asks for punishment from Master. I was just one step away, or else I��d have been able to step into the seventh segment. But unfortunately, it failed just a step short of success!��


    He was naturally not here to apologize and ask for punishment. He was posturing and telling everyone that he was just a step away from reaching the seventh segment!


    He, Qin Shitian, did not know what was called modesty.


    Sure enough, the moment quite a number of people heard it, they wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into, especially Zhou Yu two people.


    You��re peak sixth segment, and you��re even apologizing and asking for punishment. Wouldn��t we have to end ourselves?


    Great Emperor Eastsun smiled and said, ��Get up. You��re already very good! Making it to this step, your six wroughts soul body has already reached grand completion. After tempering in the Soul Refining Furnace, you��ll be able to step into the realm of seven wroughts! In the future, when you enter the clan, it will be when you soar to the heaven in one bound!��


    As he said, Great Emperor Eastsun casually waved his hand. A powerful soul force directly fired into Qin Shitian��s soul body.


    Qin Shitian��s soul body immediately recovered to its peak state.


    Qin Shitian felt an upsurge of emotion from what Great Emperor Eastsun said just now.


    Soul clan, that was the holy land in his heart!


    ��Eh? That Ye Yuan actually entered the third segment!�� Right at this time, no idea who said that, shattering this happy atmosphere.


    Everyone was stupefied and could not help turning their heads to look. Sure enough, they discovered that Ye Yuan already entered the third segment.


    This guy actually passed the test unknowingly?


    The moment Qin Shitian saw, he was amused.


    ��This guy said whatever talk again after passing. In the end, after messing around for half a day, he only barely managed to pass the stage! I really want to see how this punk postures after coming out,�� Qin Shitian said smugly.


    His result could already press Ye Yuan onto the ground and beat him.


    Looking at how each of Ye Yuan��s steps was very difficult, the third segment was already the limit.


    The humiliation that you gave to Your Father, Your Father will definitely make you repay it twofold!


    At this time, he was already planning how to humiliate Ye Yuan.


    ��Huhu, why does Brother Qin need to stoop to the level of a piece of trash? You��re the proud son of heaven!��


    ��Just a clown jumping around, that��s all. He��s not even fit to carry shoes for Brother Qin!��


    ��Sure enough, he��s a useless trash, struggling so hard to even enter the third segment! Just this bit of ability and he also dares to be arrogant and overestimating himself!��


    �� ��


    With Qin Shitian soaring to the sky in one bound, there were naturally many people who came over to lick his boots.


    In the future, everyone would still be a member of the Nirvana Soul Hall. Getting into good terms with this big shot would have many benefits.


    Jiang Hao also could not help laughing as he said, ��This is the so-called eyesight that you talked about? Good! Indeed good! This kid doesn��t have much strength, but his ability to posture is monstrous! Most likely, even Qin Shitian is greatly inferior when compared to him!��


    Yan Jadetrue had a black face and did not know what he should say.


    He felt that Ye Yuan should be more than this, but Ye Yuan��s performance was clearly so. He had no way of refuting.


    Ye Yuan did not have much self-awareness, he was currently like a fish in the water.


    Either way, the Soul Controlling Avenue had no time limit either, he could make use of these divine soul attacks fully to temper his soul body.


    Making it through the second stage, Ye Yuan��s soul body already reached middle three wroughts.


    Presently in the third segment, the difficulty soared to another level.


    The effect of the tempering got even better!


    Time slowly trickled by, Ye Yuan seemed to be struggling with every step, but he just did not withdraw.


    Qin Shitian was very anxious from waiting. He already mustered up a big retort, just waiting for Ye Yuan to come out.


    But Ye Yuan just did not come out.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body seemed to be in a precarious situation under the divine soul attacks.


    But he just did not dissipate.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan approached the fourth segment step by step.


    When he stepped into the fourth segment, everyone seemed to swallow a gulp.


    How did this kind of weakling enter the fourth segment?


    If perseverance had a use, then wouldn��t we have long been tenth segment?


    Really seeing ghosts, this guy entered the fourth segment already.


    The fourth segment was already a very decent result.


    Looking across those who entered Nirvana Soul Hall, powerhouses, who managed to enter the fourth segment, belonged among those with superior aptitude too.


    No one expected that Ye Yuan could actually walk until this step too.


    ��This punk can really hold out! Sure enough, the function of Dao heart is still great! However, it ends here too! The fourth segment��s number and power are double that of the third segment��s. The power is already extremely terrifying! He��ll surely withdraw within ten thousand feet!�� Qin Shitian said with certainty.


    Many people who made it to the fourth segment nodded their heads one after another.


    Many top geniuses all suffered a crushing defeat at the fourth segment.


    This round was indeed a watershed.


    Wanting to clear it was incredibly difficult.


    Apart from Qin Shitian three people, the best result was also merely peak fourth segment.


    Very soon, ten thousand feet was reached.


    Amidst the swaying in the midst of a raging storm. Ye Yuan crossed ten thousand feet.


    Qin Shitian��s expression was very ugly.


    Slapped again!


    However, he was currently lording it over others. Although everyone found it funny, they did not dare to show it.


    He was the disciple that Hall Master regarded extremely highly!


    This time, Qin Shitian became wiser. He stopped talking.


    But in his heart, he was still sneering endlessly.


    This way of perseverance, having his divine soul be destroyed by the divine soul attacks in the end, was the only outcome!


    No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan arrived at the threshold of the fifth segment.


    No idea why, everyone��s hearts leaped to their throats again.


    This guy teetered, teetered, and actually surpassed everyone apart from the Scarlet Drill Three Sons in the end!


    Inconceivable!


    Suddenly, Great Emperor Eastsun��s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, ��Four wroughts! I understand. This boy is using the divine soul attacks to temper his soul body!��

 Chapter 2925 - Accidentally Cleared the Stage!

    ��Tempering the soul body!��


    Many people could not help crying out in surprise.


    Tempering the soul body in the Soul Controlling Avenue, this act was also too crazy!


    Although the Soul Controlling Avenue had the effect of tempering the soul body in itself, everyone did not dare to stay for a time.


    The fighting spirit aroused by the first roll of drums was depleted by the second and exhausted by the third.


    Once it stopped, the violent storm-like divine soul attacks would completely knock you unconscious.


    Even a powerhouse like Qin Shitian only dared to stop briefly at the first two segments too.


    After entering the third segment, it was impossible to stay for a time anymore.


    But Ye Yuan had been tempering his soul body all the way from the first segment. This was simply too crazy.


    ��This �� He wouldn��t keep on tempering, right? Then wouldn��t he be able to break through all the way to the tenth segment?�� An examiner could not resist asking.


    ��Before entering the Soul Controlling Avenue, he should only be two wroughts!! Now, he actually broke through two wroughts consecutively! This boy��s Dao heart is firm. He indeed has incredible willpower! However �� it just about ends here too! Such tempering is very harmful to the soul body. If he doesn��t withdraw in the fifth segment, he��ll turn to ashes!�� Great Emperor Eastsun shook his head and said.


    Only after hearing this did Qin Shitian involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.


    Just now, hearing that Ye Yuan was actually tempering the soul body, he broke out in cold sweat too.


    In that case, could Ye Yuan keep on breaking through and upgrading continuously?


    It turned out that it was a false alarm.


    ��Humph! A guy who curries favor by claptrap, don��t withdraw if you have the capability!�� Qin Shitian said disdainfully.


    In his heart, he naturally hoped that Ye Yuan would turn to ashes.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan stepped into the fifth segment.


    The pressure increased again!


    If it was a normal soul race cultivation method, he would naturally be unable to withstand this kind of damage.


    But the Divine Emergence was the soul race��s supreme soul canon with endless wonders.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body looked very contorted, but actually, the damage was not that great because his recovery ability was extremely shocking.


    Of course, this process was extremely painful.


    But pain was really nothing to Ye Yuan.


    Clearly, after entering the fifth segment, the soul body was in even greater agony. Ye Yuan��s soul body became even more contorted too.


    However, Ye Yuan was still persisting in moving forward.


    Qin Shitian��s gaze flickered, secretly encouraging in his heart: That��s right! Just like this! Don��t pull out! Come on! Come on!


    Just as he wished, Ye Yuan did not pull out. He kept persevering.


    Then he reached the sixth segment��s checkpoint too.


    Everyone held their breathing again!


    Could it be that Ye Yuan was going to break the record too, becoming the second examinee to break through to the sixth segment today?


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate, taking a stride over.


    The pressure increased again!


    Then �� Ye Yuan broke through!


    Five wroughts!


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression somewhat could not be maintained anymore.


    He predicted just now that if Ye Yuan still did not withdraw, he would turn to ashes.


    Now, Ye Yuan broke through to the sixth segment. His soul body broke through to five wroughts too!


    As if he was slapping his face!


    Many people cast strange gazes over.


    Just now, wasn��t it you who said that if Ye Yuan still did not withdraw, he would die?


    ��This kid must have some mystic art that can rapidly recover the soul body! However, no matter how strong the mystic art is, it��s impossible for him to tide over the sixth segment too!�� Great Emperor Eastsun said with certainty.


    As if he was regaining some face for himself.


    Everyone came to a sudden realization. Ye Yuan naturally had some reliance to dare to temper his soul like this.


    Hall Master was a great emperor. His words could still be trusted.


    In reality, that was indeed the case too.


    It was just that he did not know that Ye Yuan��s mystic art was the supreme sacred canon of the soul race!


    Then Ye Yuan got closer to Qin Shitian��s record bit by bit.


    Qin Shitian��s expression also started to become ugly little by little.


    This was like the tortoise and hare. That tortoise at the back got closer to him little by little!


    This kind of feeling was like being roasted on a fire.


    Arduous!


    ��Die! Why haven��t you died yet! The sixth segment��s divine soul attacks are so terrifying. Why hasn��t he died yet?��


    Qin Shitian shouted crazily in his heart, cursing Ye Yuan to turn to ashes.


    But very sadly, he did not!


    Ye Yuan��s footsteps were difficult but sturdy.


    ��200 feet! Tied!��


    When Ye Yuan took a stride, someone suddenly cried out in alarm.


    The people came to a sudden realization. It turned out that Ye Yuan already tied with Qin Shitian��s record!


    The powerhouses present seethed with excitement again!


    No one expected that a brand new record that virtually no one could surpass was broken on the same day!


    Many people��s faces felt fiery hot. Earlier, they lavished Qin Shitian with praises crazily, trampling Ye Yuan until he was utterly worthless.


    But now, Ye Yuan was on the verge of breaking Qin Shitian��s record!


    Qin Shitian��s expression was almost contorted.


    Trampled again!


    At the Lucid Forest, it was instant kill!


    At the Soul Controlling Avenue, it was boiling the frog slowly in warm water!


    From the fifth segment until now, he was like a frog that was slowly being boiled.


    Then �� he was cooked!


    He wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into now.


    The posturing earlier seemed extremely laughable now.


    Zhou Yu and He Chen stopped talking too. They used Ye Yuan to give vent earlier. Now, Ye Yuan was feeding them shit.


    This slap was extremely resounding.


    But the surprise that Ye Yuan created was clearly not enough yet!


    Then, he stepped into the seventh segment!


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air!


    Seventh segment!


    To everyone present, including those Emperor Realms, this was something that was unimaginable.


    Nobody could do it!


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression became even uglier.


    He tried to regain some face, but he discovered that his face was beaten more and more swollen!


    Below the Soul Controlling Avenue, it was deathly silent.


    Everyone just looked at Ye Yuan like that, looking at his solo performance.


    They already did not know what they should say.


    This test already became Ye Yuan��s solo show!


    Amidst the deathly silence, Ye Yuan was still advancing!


    Seventh segment!


    Eighth segment!


    Ninth segment!


    With each segment that he passed, everyone��s hearts seemed to thud heavily.


    When Ye Yuan crossed the ninth segment and entered the tenth segment, the air seemed to have solidified.


    ��I-It��s the tenth segment already?��


    ��If say that the first segment is a light drizzle, then the tenth segment is the sky being rent asunder and the earth split open! How can this guy endure it?��


    ��This guy is simply a freak! At this Soul Controlling Avenue, he forcibly broke through from two wroughts to peak eight wroughts!��


    �� ��


    They already did not know what to use to describe their current mood.


    Before this, they did their best to lavish praise, lauding Qin Shitian��s achievement until it was number one under the heavens!


    But now, compared to Ye Yuan, he was nothing!


    Tenth segment was too crazy!


    This legendary checkpoint was indeed formidable!


    Even if Ye Yuan cultivated the Divine Emergence, this round was quite strenuous too.


    But, along with his soul body getting stronger and stronger, his comprehensions in the Divine Emergence��s second level also became deeper and deeper.


    His Divine Emergence already gradually showed signs of grand completion.


    He needed an opportunity to break through to the third level!


    One step, another step!


    Ye Yuan got nearer and nearer to the peak tenth segment.


    Everyone��s hearts failed to live up to expectations and beat faster and faster.


    They felt as if their chest were about to explode.


    Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged in their minds.


    Clearing the stage?


    There was actually someone who could clear the stage in the Soul Controlling Avenue?


    How long had this not happened when looking across the entire Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven?


    Finally, Ye Yuan took a step out, blue skies that spanned for ten thousand miles!


    ��Uh �� I accidentally cleared the stage,�� Ye Yuan looked back at the Soul Controlling Avenue and said somewhat absent-mindedly.

 Chapter 2926 - Slight Imperfection in an Otherwise Flawless Thing

    ��C-Cleared the stage.��


    There were no heaven-shocking exclamations; there was only blankness.


    Until now, they still did not dare to believe it.


    Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall never had anyone who cleared the stage before.


    Today, it was broken!


    No one thought that the tortoise-like Ye Yuan actually created a myth in the end!


    Cleared the stage!


    ��This is clearing the stage! He �� How did he do it?��


    ��Still said that it was accidental �� can this guy not be so demoralizing!��


    ��Just now, I still felt that Qin Shitian was unbelievably impressive. But, compared to Ye Yuan, he��s not even dregs!��


    ��Being able to witness a stage clear with my own eyes, I haven��t lived my life in vain!��


    �� ��


    All of a sudden, the crowd exploded!


    Soul Controlling Avenue��s stage clear was a legendary grand occasion!


    Some people were even agitated until they shed tears.


    Witnessing the birth of a miracle was indeed a kind of honor too.


    This matter could be boasted for life.


    The embarrassment from before no longer existed a long time ago.


    What was there to be embarrassed about?


    Many examinees already treated Ye Yuan as an idol, prostrating on all fours in idolization.


    People were like this. When your strength was more or less the same as him, they would be envious and would be jealous.


    But, when you reached a height that was lofty and out of reach, there was no longer such a thing.


    There was only admiration remaining!


    Great Emperor Eastsun took a look at Ye Yuan, then looked at Qin Shitian, and let out a long sigh.


    When the latter felt this gaze, he was ashamed and resentful until he wanted to die.


    However glorious he was a moment ago, it was how embarrassing it was now.


    All of his glory served as a foil to Ye Yuan��s glory.


    To a genius, nothing was more demoralizing than this.


    ��Westdawn, if I didn��t remember wrongly, in the last 30 thousand years, there was only Hegemon Heaven Subduer one person who cleared the stage, right?�� Great Emperor Eastsun suddenly said.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Great Emperor Westdawn said rather excitedly, ��That��s right! Wu Yu Nirvana Soul Hall also became one of the ten great Nirvana Soul Halls based on this! I didn��t expect that we produced one too!��


    But Great Emperor Eastsun let out a sigh and said, ��How unfortunate. He��s merely nine wroughts when he made it through the tenth segment. Compared to Hegemon Heaven Subduer, he��s still much worse!��


    Westdawn said, ��Yeah, when Hegemon Heaven Subduer cleared the Soul Controlling Avenue back then, he achieved the Heaven Tyrant Soul Physique with ten wroughts! Later, he relied on the Heaven Tyrant Soul Physique and roamed the world unhindered, becoming a Hegemon! Ye Yuan��s ultimately a level worse than him!��


    ��A discrepancy of a hair��s breadth could lead to an error of a thousand miles! Even if it��s nine wroughts, wanting to step into the Hegemon Realm is incredibly difficult too!�� Eastsun said rather disappointedly.


    Not entering Hegemon, they would at most be about the same as him.


    Even if they were more formidable than him, they would just be an Emperor Sakra Heaven in the end. That was not a big deal.


    Only by stepping into the Hegemon Realm would it be considered to have really leaped over the dragon gate, soaring to the heaven in one leap!


    Therefore, even if Ye Yuan��s performance was extremely breathtaking, Great Emperor Eastsun was somewhat waning in interest too.


    When everyone heard, they could not help being enlightened.


    It turned out that there was still such a thing!


    Qin Shitian finally regained a trace of confidence.


    Isn��t there still the third stage?


    Ye Yuan could do it, so he could also do the same!


    Who said that I, Qin Shitian, could not go against the wind and perform a reversal?


    On the Scarlet Drill Battlefield, he was originally very inconspicuous.


    How many times he was snatched from the jaws of death, how many times was he in adverse circumstances, he did not shrink back.


    This time, he absolutely would not too!


    He, Qin Shitian, used his life to fight for today!


    Thinking up to here, Qin Shitian suddenly knelt down to Eastsun and said, ��Master, this third round, this disciple will definitely go against the wind and reverse the situation, regaining all that I��ve lost!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun saw an incomparably strong determination in Qin Shitian��s eyes.


    This kind of resolve was tempered in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield.


    Qin Shitian was not beaten down by Ye Yuan!


    On the contrary, Ye Yuan��s heaven-defying rise ignited his fighting spirit even more!


    The corners of Great Emperor Eastsun��s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a faint smile, ��Good, Master thinks very highly of you! Perhaps Ye Yuan��s appearance is a good thing to you!��


    Qin Shitian��s entire body trembled, immediately understanding Great Emperor Eastsun��s meaning.


    These few years, he had become somewhat egotistical!


    Especially just now, he virtually had one leg into the seventh segment. His life seemed to have reached its peak.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance gave him a direct blow, knocking him awake!


    The so-called being toughened and hardened into steel, Great Emperor Eastsun knew that someone like Qin Shitian might have even greater potential than Ye Yuan!


    After all, they were just True Sovereign Heaven. Everything was possible!


    At this time, Ye Yuan floated down. Many people cast worshiping gazes over.


    However, they also knew that there was likely still a battle between Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian.


    This fight would very likely determine the two people��s future!


    Seeing Great Emperor Eastsun��s gratified gaze, everyone naturally would not think that he was shooting at random.


    Hall Master��s gaze had always been very sharp.


    It was naturally not without reason that he picked Qin Shitian at one glance among the Scarlet Drill Three Sons.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of deliberately showing off. He cultivated the Divine Emergence. If he could not even clear the stage, he could find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with.


    There was no comparison between him and Qin Shitian at all, and he had never treated him as an opponent before either.


    However, Qin Shitian clearly did not feel that way.


    He already viewed Ye Yuan as his lifelong enemy.


    Seeing Ye Yuan come over, Qin Shitian snorted coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, don��t you be smug! The victor hasn��t been decided between us yet! The third stage, Soul Refining Furnace, is where we��ll have our final showdown! This time, I��ll completely defeat you! And you��ll become the stepping stone on my path to Hegemon!��


    Ye Yuan had a baffled look. I did not even posture when I cleared the stage. What did you run here to posture for?


    Who was going to determine the victor with you?


    From start to you, it had always been you performing by yourself, alright?


    ��Oh, Hegemon? Then very impressive! Buck up!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Qin Shitian could not help choking as if his punch had landed on cotton.


    If Ye Yuan went tit for tat with him, he would have even greater fighting spirit.


    But what the hell was this?


    �� ��


    Soul Refining Furnace was a chaos heavenly treasure with boundless power!


    Of course, the Soul Refining Furnace in the Nirvana Soul Hall was just a projection of it.


    This third stage, Soul Refining Furnace, was for the soul denizen to enter it and receive the tempering of 7 by 7,49 kinds of Dao fires!


    These 49 kinds of Dao fire, each one was stronger than the last!


    Only by being able to make it through the test of seven Dao fires was it considered to have passed the round.


    Same as before, this round was a test and also a lucky chance.


    The tempering of Dao fire was extremely harmful to the soul body.


    But true gold was not afraid of being refined by fire. Tempering revival amidst Dao fire was the greatest significance of this round.


    Someone transformed into a butterfly in the soul refining furnace, rising from the ashes, reaching the peak.


    After two rounds of assessment, there were only 97 people remaining in this third round!


    After passing the third round, one would be considered a true Nirvana Soul Hall��s disciple.


    But this third round was also the most dangerous.


    This was because this round could not be backed out of!


    One must experience seven Dao fires before the Soul Refining Furnace would open again, and the examinee could then only come out.


    Either succeed or die trying!


    ��This seat reminds you all. The Dao fires in the Soul Refining Furnace aren��t average Dao fires! These seven by seven, 49 kinds of Dao fires, are all chaos fires! Our soul race expended a huge price before collecting them! Of course, the main bodies of these Dao fires are all in the real Soul Refining Furnace. But even so, you all can��t underestimate it either. Now, if you want to withdraw, you can still pull out! Otherwise, once you enter the Soul Refining Furnace, there��s only passing the test before you can come out!�� Great Emperor Eastsun said coolly.

 Chapter 2927 - Bigger Bet!

    The audience was in an uproar!


    Many people actually already wanted to back out.


    ��I-It��s actually chaos Dao fires! Furthermore, it��s even 49 kinds, my god!��


    ��Chaos Dao fires burn myriad life. I heard that it can even burn Hegemon Realms to death! Wouldn��t we be courting death by entering it?��


    ��This round, there��s probably only Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian they all, these freaks, that have hope of passing, right? It��s too difficult to enter the Nirvana Soul Hall!��


    �� ��


    The examinees�� wails echoed, clearly being intimidated by ��chaos Dao fire�� three words.


    In reality, this round was indeed the most difficult of the three stages!


    Of the three rounds, the Lucid Forest was the easiest instead.


    Although the Soul Controlling Avenue was difficult, there would always be someone who could clear the stage every several tens of thousands of years.


    But, in the third round, Soul Refining Furnace, up to this date there were only a scanty few people who could clear the stage!


    These handful of people were all presently the soul race��s titan-class existences now!


    Even if compared to Hegemon Cloudmount, they were not at all inferior to him in the least bit.


    When Westdawn saw that many people could not make up their minds, he smiled slightly and said, ��There is no harm telling you all. Each time the test starts, this round��s death rate is the highest, with close to 70%! This is also to say that, at most, only 30 people out of you guys can survive!��


    With this, many people shrink back.


    A death rate of 70% was indeed too horrifying.


    One had to know that those able to make it to the third round were all soul path geniuses.


    There was actually such a terrifying death rate.


    ��I �� .I��ll withdraw!��


    ��I��m withdrawing too!��


    ��Forget it, I give up!��


    �� ��


    Westdawn��s words made some of those who were ranked at the back make up their minds in the end.


    To these people, them entering the Soul Refining Furnace were equivalent to being cannon fodders, being virtually unable to set off any waves.


    Very soon, more than ten people backed out.


    Right at this time, Qin Shitian suddenly looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Ye Yuan, why don��t we bet bigger? Let��s compete in this Soul Refining Furnace. How about it?��


    Ye Yuan was not surprised, he smiled and said, ��Oh? I wonder how you want to compete?��


    Qin Shitian said, ��In the Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall, the Soul Refining Furnace��s highest record is four by seven, 28 kinds of Dao fires! Let��s simply bet a little higher and request for Master to take action, sealing the two of our Soul Refining Furnaces shut! Without reaching five by seven, 35 kinds of Dao fires, we��re not allowed to come out!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces suddenly changed.


    This was betting too big!


    Putting aside that it was five by seven, 35 kinds of Dao fires, just two by seven, 28 kinds of Dao fires was already extremely terrifying too!


    One had to know that the Dao fires in the Soul Refining Furnace were added one by one.


    With 28 kinds of chaos Dao fires, what kind of horrifying refinement ability was that!


    But to consider 35 kinds of Dao fires, this was simply an impossible task.


    Even Great Emperor Eastsun��s pupils constricted slightly too.


    But very soon, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile.


    This was Qin Shitian!


    Forcing himself into a desperate situation so that he could risk it all!


    This boy had resolve, had willpower, and had strength. He was an exceptionally talented person from beginning to end.


    Furthermore, this was psychological warfare too.


    Once Ye Yuan cowered, it would be hard to win Qin Shitian in this round.


    But, if he accepted it, it would virtually be a certain death scenario.


    In this round, there was indeed an advantage for strong soul bodies.


    But, once it reached the late stages, dozens of Dao fires superimposed, whatever soul body would be useless too.


    Even if it was ten wroughts, it was also merely True Sovereign Heaven��s ten wroughts. That was all.


    In contrast, this round��s test was more comprehensive.


    Strength, talent, perseverance, courage; all these various aspects were all in this round.


    Many people looked at Ye Yuan sympathetically. Right now, he was being caught in the horns of a dilemma!


    Ye Yuan fell silent.


    Qin Shitian looked at Ye Yuan and said smugly, ��What? Don��t dare anymore? Does the powerhouse in the Soul Controlling Avenue juncture not even have this bit of courage? How disappointing!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I was thinking that 35 kinds are too few. How about this? I actually don��t have much confidence in 49 kinds of chaos Dao fires too. Let��s just set it on six by seven, 42 kinds. I feel that this number is just right. There��s some challenge and it aklso won��t be too easy.��


    ��Hiss ����


    The sound of cold air being sucked in came from all around.


    Impressive!


    Well-deserving of being the Soul Controlling Avenue stage clearing big shot, he was brimming with confidence!


    With this, Ye Yuan directly counter-checkmated and performed a posture while he was at it.


    These 42 kinds, just whether you dare or not!


    If you don��t dare, don��t compete!


    Qin Shitian��s face was almost becoming as long as a horse��s face.


    Brat, you��re ruthless enough!


    Everyone gazes turned toward Qin Shitian simultaneously with a whoosh.


    The latter was hesitating!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What, don��t dare anymore? The genius who created a miracle in the Soul Controlling Avenue, just a step away from the seventh segment, doesn��t even have this bit of courage? How disappointing!��


    ��Pffft!��


    When many people heard this, they immediately spurted out.


    Sarcastic!


    Blatant sarcasm!


    A stage clearing powerhouse who created a myth deriding a rookie who was only seventh segment.


    Nothing was more ironic than this.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan even retorted Qin Shitian with his original words.


    The power was more than ten times that of the original words!


    Qin Shitian��s face could not be preserved anymore. He was not a fool and knew that Ye Yuan was goading him.


    But, at this time, could he shrink back?


    Qin Shitian naturally did not know which step he could walk until.


    But he wanted to challenge himself.


    And put Ye Yuan down while he was at it.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan was even more ruthless than him, directly mentioning 42 kinds of Dao fires!


    One had to know, reaching that kind of degree, each additional Dao fire was like having a mountain pressing on the body.


    The level of danger rose exponentially.


    Could he withstand it?


    ��Okay, I accept!�� Qin Shitian was silent for a long time, using a low voice to roar these words out.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Shitian!��


    Qin Shitian raised his head to look at Great Emperor Eastsun and said solemnly, ��Master, I��ve experienced too many life and death in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield. How can I not see through that he��s goading me? However, so what? Which powerhouse didn��t wander out of the brink of death? How can the likes of them become Hegemons?��


    As he spoke, he pointed at the examinees who backed out.


    Those people were incomparably ashamed and angry, wishing to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    When Great Emperor Eastsun heard, he was very moved too and said with a nod, ��This seat understands. Go on! This seat will take action to lock in six by seven, 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires!��


    Qin Shitian cupped his fists and said, ��Many thanks, Master, for granting my wish!��


    He looked toward Ye Yuan again and said with a cold smile, ��How is it? You didn��t expect that I��d agree, right? Do you feel like you lifted a rock to smash your own feet?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��It doesn��t matter; as long as you��re happy.��


    Qin Shitian nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. This guy was too hateful!


    He smiled coldly and said, ��I heard Master say before, each of the chaos Dao fires in the Soul Refining Furnace has power at the limit of True Sovereign Heaven. After 21 chaos Dao fires are superimposed, even if it��s a ten wroughts powerhouse, a moment of carelessness and they will fall too! Don��t think that you can sleep in peace with nine wroughts!��


    Ye Yuan still had a calm appearance as he said with a smile, ��Is that so? You��re just six wroughts. You have to be careful.��

 Chapter 2928 - Grand Awakening Qin Shitian!

    Out of 97 people, there were only 79 people who entered the Soul Refining Furnace in the end.


    The Nirvana Soul Hall could freely control the number of Soul Refining Furnace��s projections.


    Qin Shitian arrived before the Soul Refining Furnace that belonged to him and involuntarily took a deep breath.


    Against 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires, this was really tremendous pressure!


    Even if he had experienced life and death countless times, facing such enormous pressure, he could not be composed and collected too.


    He could not resist glancing in Ye Yuan��s direction and discovered that Ye Yuan was currently sizing the Soul Refining Furnace up with interest. Not the slightest pressure could be seen.


    Qin Shitian��s heart could not help turning cold!


    Why is this guy so relaxed?


    Hang on!


    It was him who was too nervous!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Facing 42 kinds of Dao fires, he was unprecedentedly nervous!


    This was a desperate situation, with virtually no possibility of returning alive.


    Hence, he was somewhat at a loss on what to do.


    In the past, whenever he was faced with a desperate situation, he could cope with it calmly.


    What was going on this time?


    Qin Shitian spat out a mouthful of turbid breath heavily, his entire person suddenly being unprecedentedly relaxed.


    Wanting to look down on the enemy strategically, one must attach importance to the enemy in terms of tactics!


    Qin Shitian did not expect that he actually found himself again in Ye Yuan!


    Got beaten again!


    Qin Shitian was proud and also monstrous.


    It was just that he did not expect that after entering the hall entrance assessment this time, he would be pressed to the ground by Ye Yuan and dragged across it time and again.


    Panicked!


    ��Thank you, Ye Yuan!�� Qin Shitian suddenly said.


    Ye Yuan was stunned and could not help looking toward Qin Shitian, suddenly discovering that the other party had become somewhat different.


    Yes, this guy found his original heart again himself.


    Hence, he smiled slightly and said, ��Don��t mention it.��


    But Qin Shitian��s expression turned intent, and he said, ��However, I won��t lose to you in this round!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled slightly, rising into the air and landing inside the Soul Refining Furnace.


    A burning sensation hit him head-on.


    ��Huhu, Shitian found his original heart again and had a grand awakening! In this battle, he absolutely won��t lose to Ye Yuan! Perhaps, my estimation of him is still far, far lower! This seat feels that he might really create a miracle, walking out safely from under the soul refinement of 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires! Perhaps �� he��s the next Hegemon Heaven Subduer!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun clearly felt Qin Shitian��s change too.


    Earlier, he was still worried. But now, he was not worried at all anymore.


    At this time, he was incomparably certain that Ye Yuan was just Qin Shitian��s whetting stone!


    Because at this time, Qin Shitian was already equipped with all the qualities that a powerhouse needed to have.


    He had no reason not to rise up!


    Great Emperor Westdawn also nodded and said, ��Originally, I also felt that it was messing around a little. But now, I��m very optimistic about Qin Shitian too.��


    Even the Great Emperor Woodrelease, who had been silent all along, also said, ��That��s right, Qin Shitian is very likely to soar to the heavens in one bound!��


    Three great emperors putting the word out at the same time. This was virtually a final verdict already!


    Many people started to get excited again.


    Could it be that they were still going to witness a miracle again today?


    Ye Yuan won two matches in a row. In the end, was he still going to be trampled by Qin Shitian?


    That would really be a great reversal!


    No matter what, just wait and see!


    Great Emperor Eastsun fired out one soul seal after another. Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian��s Soul Refining Furnaces seemed to have one shackle after another added on.


    Each time one was fired out, everyone��s heart tensed up a bit!


    Finally, he fired out 35 shackles, coupled with the originally locked in seven kinds of Dao fires, it was 42 kinds!


    With this, everyone knew that these two people could not get out anymore!


    Against 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires, even thinking about it made people��s hair stand on end.


    Boom!


    A purple flame lit up at the same time in the 79 Soul Refining Furnaces!


    The Soul Refining Furnaces were completely filled with purple flames.


    That berserk fire tongue devoured everyone��s bodies at once.


    ��Ahh!!��


    ��Ahh!!��


    ��Ahh!!��


    Several miserable cries transmitted over, the examinees in several Soul Refining Furnaces directly turned to ashes!


    Everyone��s expression could not help changing.


    They knew that chaos Dao fire was strong but did not expect that it was so strong.


    Those few people simply disappeared virtually without the strength to resist.


    Those examinees who withdrew could not help wiping away cold sweat.


    ��Luckily, I pulled out. Otherwise, with my strength, I��ll definitely be the same as them.��


    ��This is the legendary Purplesun True Fire. The power is indeed terrifying!��


    ��I heard that this Purplesun True Fire is an extreme yang and indomitable fire. It can burn all life in heaven and earth! Back then, my soul race��s Hegemon Purplesun completely burned a human Hegemon to nothingness with this fire!��


    �� ��


    The moment the Dao fire emerged, it caused an uproar.


    This Purplesun True Fire had a great reputation. It was the lifeblood Dao fire of the soul race��s Hegemon Purplesun. It had boundless power.


    Those who withdrew from the test all secretly heaved sighs of relief one after another.


    So what if they lost some face? It was better than losing their lives!


    ��Argh! Delightful! Come on! Again!�� Inside the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian cried out in pain as he shouted arrogantly. It was as if he was crazy.


    Clearly, he was not having a good time in this Soul Refining Furnace.


    But his performance made everyone extremely surprised.


    Because the others were already exhausting all of their strength just to resist the tempering of the Dao fire, how could they still have the time to shout?


    Qin Shitian being like this, it showed that he still had strength leftover.


    On the contrary, there was not much activity over at Ye Yuan there.


    However, this was just the first Dao fire. There was clearly nothing that could be seen.


    With Ye Yuan��s nine wroughts soul body, it was clearly not difficult to resist seven kinds of Dao fire.


    Every four hours, a Dao fire would descend!


    Four hours later, the second Dao fire descended!


    Hence, several other examinees died inside the Soul Refining Furnace.


    Time slowly trickled by, the third, the fourth, all the way until the sixth. With each Dao fire that descended, there were many examinees who died.


    When it reached the sixth, there were already more than 40 people who had died.


    The death rate was not an ordinary kind of high!


    But right at this time, an accident happened!


    ��Hahaha, finally broke through!�� Qin Shitian��s loud laughter came out.


    Seven wroughts!


    Experiencing the baptism of six kinds of Dao fires, Qin Shitian finally broke through to seven wroughts!


    ��Sure enough, it came!��


    ��Against six kinds of Dao fire, the others were all exhausted from dealing with them. But Qin Shitian could break through his own shackles. Remarkable!��


    ��Now, Ye Yuan became the one being challenged! He��s nine wroughts. It��s probably not easy for him to want to reach the legendary ten wroughts!��


    ��Next, it will depend on how far Qin Shitian could go! If he can reach nine wroughts too, then he��ll really soar to the heavens in one bound!��


    �� ��


    Qin Shitian��s breakthrough made everyone faintly look forward to it.


    Very soon, the seventh kind of Dao fire descended!


    A large group died at once!


    Every seventh kind was a major hurdle!


    The power of the chaos Dao fire would suddenly soar significantly.


    The initial 79 people were actually only left with a little over 20 people now!


    The death rate was even higher than imagined!


    ��Hahaha �� I finally passed the round! I passed! God knows how Your Father pulled through!�� Suddenly, someone shouted loudly and actually had already passed the round.


    ��Your Father passed the round too! F*cking hell, Your Father isn��t entering the Soul Refining Furnace ever again! Sniff sniff ���� This person actually cried.


    These few people were all challengers with very eye-catching performances in the first two rounds.


    It could be seen how terrifying this round was!

 Chapter 2929 - Catching up From Behind!

    ��It��s eight wroughts already!��


    ��Impressive! Impressive! Qin Shitian is really showing signs of catching up!��


    ��Great Emperor Eastsun indeed has eyes like torches! Qin Shitian really erupted this time!��


    �� ��


    After the 14th kind of Dao fire descended, Qin Shitian finally broke through to the realm of eight wroughts!


    Hence, the people were ignited once more.


    Up until now, there was already nothing else to pay attention to in this round.


    Although Zhou Yu and He Chen were still struggling bitterly, there was already no one paying attention to them.


    These two people would quit sooner or later.


    The only thing worth paying attention to was the competition between Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    The competition of six by seven, 27 kinds of Dao fires, had already passed now!


    Qin Shitian showed signs of catching up rapidly from behind!


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan still had no activities until now.


    The current Qin Shitian seemed to be accumulating momentum, waiting to soar to the sky in one bound!


    After his grand awakening, he indeed did not let Great Emperor Eastsun down, exhibiting amazing perseverance and potential!


    One had to know, after 14 kinds of Dao fires, it was like the Soul Controlling Avenue��s segments, the difficulty coefficient soaring.


    The Soul Refining Furnace was a glaze color. It was transparent.


    Everyone could see that inside was already filled with multi-colored chaos Dao fires.


    Under 14 kinds of Dao fires, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    In the Soul Refining Furnace, the soul body was constantly enduring endless agony. Even the slightest carelessness and one would turn to ashes!


    Even if it was Qin Shitian and Ye Yuan, they were no exceptions either.


    That kind of pain, look at Zhou Yu and He Chen two people, and one would know.


    But Qin Shitian broke through time and again. Everyone��s enthusiasm was ignited by him!


    However, everyone understood that following that would be the toughest test!


    Qin Shitian said before, after 21 kinds of Dao fires, a powerhouse with ten wroughts was unable to persist too.


    This was also to say that 14 kinds to 21 kinds were the two people��s limit already.


    Whoever won or lost, it might be time to showcase their true abilities!


    When the 16th Dao fire descended, He Chen could not hold on and had to withdraw.


    When it was the 17th, Zhou Yu could not hold on anymore as well.


    At this time, there was no one left in the Soul Refining Furnace anymore, except for two people. There were only Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian left.


    Over at Ye Yuan there, it had been very quiet all along, without any activities at all. It looked just like he was eking out a miserable existence.


    While Qin Shitian this side was everyone��s focal point.


    Inside the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian was screaming miserably.


    But his aura was getting stronger and stronger!


    Finally, after the 20th Dao fire descended, he broke through again!


    Nine wroughts!


    With this, even Great Emperor Eastsun was not calm anymore too.


    He was very optimistic about Qin Shitian, but he did not expect that Qin Shitian would give him one pleasant surprise after another.


    Nine wroughts!


    Before entering the hall entrance assessment, Great Emperor Eastsun had never even thought about it before.


    He had long expected that after experiencing three rounds of assessment, there was no problem in Qin Shitian breaking through to seven wroughts.


    But now, he already entered nine wroughts!


    ��Tied! With this, they are back to the same starting line again!��


    ��With this, he really caught up from behind!��


    ��Ten wroughts! Will the legendary ten wroughts appear?��


    ��There��s still half of the Dao fires left at the back! If they can really hold on, ten wroughts will definitely appear!��


    �� ��


    After the second round, everyone thought that the third round would become boring.


    Who knew that Qin Shitian strove harder after knowing humiliation and actually caught up miraculously!


    Reaching nine wroughts, Qin Shitian was tied with Ye Yuan!


    ��Haha, this seat indeed didn��t misjudge this boy! Already nine wroughts! In this seat��s view, he will definitely be able to steep into ten wroughts!�� Great Emperor Eastsun already gave up on the reservedness of a great emperor, being pleased with himself as he said with a loud laugh.


    Westdawn and Woodrelease, two great emperors, took a look at Zhou Yu and He Chen, and they could not help sighing slightly.


    In this competition, they had lost until they were badly mauled all over!


    Who could have thought that Qin Shitian could actually be so heaven-defying, suddenly awakening amidst adversity, soaring to the sky in one bound?


    The legendary ten wroughts!


    Nine wroughts to ten wroughts was a huge threshold!


    It was a hundred times harder than stepping into the Emperor Realm!


    To someone who was ten wroughts, stepping into the Emperor Realm was just ordinary.


    As long as they did not fall, their lowest future achievement would also be an origin level great emperor!


    If they really stepped into ten wroughts, that would really be leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to the heaven in one leap!


    Compared to the Qin Shitian, who was like the noonday sun at this time, the current Ye Yuan seemed much dimmer.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long already reached peak nine wroughts. He was only a step away from ten wroughts.


    But he encountered a bottleneck.


    Actually, this was also within reason.


    What Ye Yuan cultivated was the powerful soul race��s sacred canon, the Divine Emergence.


    Furthermore, he broke through too smoothly and too quickly from second wroughts to nine wroughts.


    Therefore, the difficulty of stepping into ten wroughts was naturally a hundred times, even a thousand times compared to the others!


    One chaos Dao fire after another descended, and the pain and pressure that Ye Yuan endured were also increasing several times over.


    The pain of Dao fire refining the soul overwhelmed him to the extent where he wished that he was dead.


    When the 21st kind of Dao fire descended, he could not resist giving a muffled groan.


    Reached his limit!


    Just as Great Emperor Eastsun said, the advantage that he had previously already completely did not exist!


    Following that, it was the match between perseverance and potential!


    Of course, the pain that Qin Shitian endured was not the slightest bit worse than Ye Yuan.


    Although he broke through to nine wroughts, under the superimposition of 21 kinds of chaos Dao fires, nine wroughts did not hold too much advantage.


    Hence, the two people fell into a state of extreme danger.


    ��ARGHH!!��


    Inside the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian was still howling in pain, appearing extremely imposing.


    ��Why do I feel that Qin Shitian will definitely win this time?��


    ��I feel so too! Ye Yuan has clearly already exhausted his potential and isn��t able to step into the realm of ten wroughts anymore!��


    ��Although Qin Shitian is miserable, he��s full of energy! Furthermore, mustering such vigorous perseverance now, he might very likely break through this shackle!��


    �� ��


    At this time, Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian two people��s situation had already completely changed.


    Qin Shitian��s great reversal already completely suppressed Ye Yuan.


    Four by seven fire, activate!


    One Dao fire after another descended one after another.


    Inside the Soul Refining Furnace, it became even more brightly colored.


    These colors looked great but were extremely dangerous.


    Qin Shitian was originally still howling miserably without ceasing. But very soon, he could not howl anymore.


    His howls also gradually weakened.


    This also showed that the power of the Dao fires inside the Soul Refining Furnace already reached an extremely terrifying level!


    However, Qin Shitian still relied on shocking perseverance and pulled through four by seven fires!


    This already broke Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall��s record!


    Following that, it was five by seven fires!


    Once five by seven fires started, Qin Shitian and Ye Yuan let out muffled groans at the same time.


    The two people��s soul bodies actually started dissipating!


    Their nine wroughts soul bodies actually started to be refined!


    Everyone held their breaths, watching these two people��s soul bodies become weak little by little.


    ��Nihility Dao Fire! Nihility Dao Fire came! Can the two of them pull through?�� Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm.


    This Nihility Dao Fire was the last Dao fire of the five by seven Dao fires, the 35th kind of Dao fire!


    ��Arghhh! Break for me! Break for me! I, Qin Shitian, absolutely won��t die here!��


    The originally feeble to the extreme Qin Shitian suddenly started to roar crazily.


    Following that, a powerful to the extreme undulation came out of the Soul Refining Furnace!


    ��Ten wroughts! Qin Shitian broke through to ten wroughts! Defying the heavens! Defying the heavens!�� This time, the one who cried out in surprise was Great Emperor Eastsun.

 Chapter 2930 - Breaking Through the Shackles, Unprecedented and Unrepeatable!

    Qin Shitian breaking through to ten wroughts made the entire Nirvana Soul Hall boil over with excitement.


    This was a glorious moment!


    Nine wroughts to ten wroughts, just one wrought, but the difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    Ten wroughts virtually represented immortality!


    In the same rank, no matter how exceedingly formidable your methods, you could not kill a ten wroughts soul denizen too!


    Even when facing an Emperor Realm, ten wroughts had the power to protect themselves too!


    Furthermore, once the bottleneck of ten wroughts was opened, there would be no bottlenecks from now on.


    This was also to say that after breaking through to Emperor Realm, although the soul body was unable to reach ten wroughts, one could cultivate all the way to ten wroughts!


    Apart from this, when ten wroughts advanced, the soul body would have a huge improvement. The lousiest would also start with six wroughts.


    This way, it saved countless cultivation time.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    All in all, the benefits were too numerous to enumerate!


    ��Ten wroughts! It��s really ten wroughts! I didn��t expect that I actually witnessed the birth of ten wroughts with my own eyes!��


    ��Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s sharp edge previously, it was all serving as a foil to a new genius. He��s ultimately just a stepping stone!��


    ��After today, Qin Shitian, this name, will shake the entire soul race!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian��s competition already spread from mouth to mouth.


    Those who were idle in the Nirvana Soul Hall practically all came to watch the battle.


    Ten wroughts, this was something that had never happened before in the Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall.


    Now, ten wroughts powerhouse was really born. Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall was completely ignited from top to bottom.


    Qin Shitian, this name, reverberated throughout Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall.


    The several Great Emperors were extremely agitated too.


    Nine wroughts, they could still maintain composure.


    But ten wroughts, the significance was completely different.


    Ten wroughts, if he did not fall, he had very high hopes of stepping into Hegemon Realm in the future!


    Once Qin Shitian became a Hegemon, then Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall would also attain Dao and ascend to heaven!


    Meanwhile, Zhou Yu and He Chen, two people, felt unbelievably ashamed of their unworthiness.


    Before this, they were called the Scarlet Drill Three Sons together with Qin Shitian.


    But now, Qin Shitian soared to the heavens in one bound. They could only fade into the crowd.


    Although their performance was pretty good too, in front of Qin Shitian, they were bleak and dim.


    Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, ��You guys, look! Ye Yuan can��t make it anymore!��


    Everyone got a shock, looking toward Ye Yuan��s Soul Refining Furnace. They discovered that Ye Yuan��s soul body actually started to dissipate little by little!


    Soul body collapsing and dissipating, these were the precursors to disintegrating!


    However, there was already no one who cared too much.


    No one would care about losers. The winner was that person who wrote history.


    ��Ye Yuan��s ultimately just a stepping stone. He��s currently already useless!��


    ��Yeah, if not for him, it would have been impossible for Qin Shitian to soar to the heavens in one bound too. It��s him who let Qin Shitian have a grand awakening at the final moment.��


    ��Heh, his arrogance was too high. That��s why he would bet with Qin Shitian on these 42 kinds of Dao fires. In the end, he played himself to death.��


    ��If they just bet 35 kinds, he still had hope of surviving. Now, everything has evaporated!��


    ��What a shame, such a heaven-defying genius.��


    �� ��


    Seeing this scene, many mocking voices came from the crowd, feeling that Ye Yuan courted death himself.


    Of course, there were people who lamented over Ye Yuan too.


    But there were more that were just ridiculing him.


    No one would sympathize with losers.


    ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, thank you! Without you, it would have been impossible for me to break through to the realm of ten wroughts! It��s you who made me Qin Shitian!��


    In the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian already thoroughly completed the transformation.


    The originally weak him became incomparably powerful again.


    In the Soul Refining Furnace, his soul body seemed especially clear.


    Even if there were 35 kinds of Dao fires covering, it could not hide his light too.


    Ten wroughts soul body was sufficient to forcefully have a frontal confrontation with the human race and true spirit clan��s fleshy body major powers!


    But very soon, Qin Shitian could not laugh anymore.


    Ten wroughts soul body was very strong, almost undying and imperishable!


    But, in the end, it was just almost.


    Hegemons would die, let alone mere True Sovereign Heavens.


    Each chaos Dao fire in the Soul Refining Furnace had exceedingly formidable power. Furthermore, the attributes were different.


    Now, 35 kinds of Dao fires had already built up inside. The power could be imagined.


    When the 36th Dao fire descended, Qin Shitian screamed miserably, his soul body immediately suffering heavy injuries.


    At first, he still had strength to yell.


    But, as the number of Dao fires increased again, he lost his breath very quickly.


    Furthermore, very soon, Qin Shitian��s soul body also started to collapse and dissipate..


    Everyone were virtually suffocating!


    Could it be that the Qin Shitian, who created a heaven-defying legend, was actually going to die here?


    Looking over at Ye Yuan there, the dissipation of the soul body became more and more serious.


    His soul body had already became blurry, being completely surrounded by dozens of Dao fires, virtually unable to see clearly anymore.


    ��It��s all this damn Ye Yuan. He��s useless himself and actually still had to drag Qin Shitian into the water!��


    ��Could it be that the Qin Shitian, who just created a miracle, was going to die here?��


    ��You guys, look, Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression is already ugly to the extreme. Most likely, he wishes to pull Ye Yuan out now and kill him again, right?��


    �� ��


    Indeed, Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression was very ugly.


    He knew that Qin Shitian had already reached the brink of life and death survival.


    There were still two Dao fires remaining, but when the 42nd Dao fire descended, it would be a devastating blow.


    Could the Qin Shitian under the current state pull through?


    Great Emperor Eastsun hated Ye Yuan to the extreme. If it was just agreed on 35 kinds, Qin Shitian would be like the noonday sun now, without the slightest danger.


    But 42 was too many!


    Boom!


    When the 42nd Dao fire descended, Qin Shitian gave a muffled groan, his soul body almost completely collapsing.


    But he still held on with tremendous willpower!


    Everyone held their breaths again, staring at him without turning their eyes.


    ��Hang in there! Hold on!�� Great Emperor Eastsun gritted his teeth as he said.


    In the Soul Refining Furnace, Qin Shitian��s soul body was gruesomely contorted, both eyes blood-red.


    At this time, he was already struggling to the extreme.


    Life and death, it was hanging by a thread!


    ��Ye Yuan, I won��t perish together with you! I, Qin Shitian, am destined to step into Hegemon Realm! ARGGHHHHH!��


    Qin Shitian seemed to be crazy, frenziedly squeezing out all of the potentials in his body.


    Time slowly trickled by, 15 minutes, two hours, three hours.


    Four hours!


    Swoosh!


    A streak of azure light suddenly flew out. Qin Shitian��s nearly collapsed soul body actually flew out of the Soul Refining Furnace at this moment!


    The lock was removed!


    Qin Shitian made it through 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires!


    Two brilliant rays of light shot out of Great Emperor Eastsun��s two eyes. A powerful soul force instantly wrapped Qin Shitian up!


    Qin Shitian��s soul body could be seen recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    ��Hahaha �� I, Qin Shitian, made it through 42 kinds of Dao fires! 42! Not saying that it��s unrepeatable, but it should be unprecedented, right? Ye Yuan, you didn��t expect it, right? This battle, it��s ultimately me, Qin Shitian, who won! Henceforth, I, Qin Shitian, soared to the sky in one bound, soaring in the heavens! And you, are just my, Qin Shitian��s, stepping stone!��


    Feeling joy after surviving a calamity, Qin Shitian let out a long laugh.


    Everything was settled!


    ��Huhu, not bad! Really good! Shitian, Master is proud of you! From now on, nobody can stop your marching footsteps anymore!�� Great Emperor Eastsun looked at Qin Shitian and said with relief.

 Chapter 2931 - Smoking!

    ��Congratulations, Brother Qin! From now on, the skies will be vast with brilliant prospects, the seas wide for fishes to leap about!�� Zhou Yu��s expression was somewhat unnatural as he said.


    Merely several days ago, he and Qin Shitian were still almost on par.


    But, a few days later, the two were already the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.


    He Chen��s expression was awkward too, stepping forward to congratulate.


    Who knew that Qin Shitian��s expression turned dark, a powerful surge of soul force exploding with a loud bang.


    Zhou Yu and He Chen, two people, gave a muffled groan and were immediately blasted flying.


    ��Dog-like things! Who the hell do the two of you think you are to be worthy of addressing me as your brother?�� Qin Shitian immediately fell out.


    Being slapped in public, their soul bodies already sustained heavy injuries.


    Zhou Yu two people felt ashamed and resentful, but they did not dare to flare up too. They could only crawl to their feet again and said with a bow, ��C-Congratulations, Young Emperor!��


    Ten wroughts had an extremely high status in the soul race. It was equivalent to a Great Emperor in reserve.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Therefore, they were respectfully called Young Emperor.


    Qin Shitian was surly in nature. In his eyes, only people with strength similar to him were fit to call him as their brother.


    Previously, these two people had similar strength as him. He naturally did not think otherwise.


    But now, this ��Brother Qin�� sounded like sarcasm to him.


    However, even if Qin Shitian was arrogant to this extent, no one dared to say anything too.


    It was just that some people who originally wanted to come forward to congratulate did not dare to come forward anymore.


    After all, his current strength and status were already completely different!


    Before long, Qin Shitian would definitely enter the core of the soul race and go further and further away from them.


    This was a heavenly figure!


    Great Emperor Westdawn��s expression was also somewhat unnatural. Coughing dryly twice, he said, ��Martial Nephew doesn��t need to get angry. You��re currently already someone above the clouds. Why is there a need to stoop to their level?��


    Woodrelease was also slightly awkward as he said, ��Right, right. Toward two kids who don��t know any better, Martial Nephew doesn��t need to be like this.��


    Ten wroughts powerhouse was indeed the honor of Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall.


    But, even if it was a Great Emperor, they did not dare to easily offend one too.


    Qin Shitian gave Zhou Yu they all a slap each. How was it not slapping the two of their faces?


    But they had no choice either.


    From now on, Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall still needed Qin Shitian to help out.


    The present Qin Shitian had truly soared to the heavens in one bound!


    Qin Shitian gave a cold snort and said, ��If not for looking on the account of two martial uncles�� faces, I��d definitely teach them a lesson!��


    Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something. Looking toward Ye Yuan��s Soul Refining Furnace, he could not help smiling. ��He thought that he could use 42 kinds of Dao fires to entrap me to death. But he didn��t expect that it would help me to achieve my aim, right? In the end, he himself died inside! Actually, 35 kinds of Dao fires, even if he can��t break through to ten wroughts, there��s no problem coming out.��


    Great Emperor Eastsun nodded slightly, and deeply felt that way too as he said, ��Although he��s much worse when compared to you, he��s considered a genius too! It��s just a shame. He lost to himself.��


    Qin Shitian laughed loudly and said, ��Someone who is already dead, care about him for what! From now on, it��s my, Qin Shitian��s, era!��


    The current Qin Shitian was full of high spirits. Who else but me could do it?


    Those examinees no longer had the qualifications to come forward and congratulate.


    Nirvana Soul Hall��s Emperor Realm powerhouses came forward to give felicitations one after another.


    Qin Shitian became everyone��s nucleus.


    Even Great Emperor Eastsun was worse off compared to him too.


    Great Emperor Eastsun did not mind. Qin Shitian was his disciple. He could not run away.


    However, his gaze swept in the direction of the Soul Refining Furnace, and his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    This was because he saw the 34th kind of Dao fire descending!


    1


    ��Eh, strange, logically speaking, Ye Yuan is dead. Shouldn��t the Soul Refining Furnace��s Dao fires be extinguished? Why is the Dao fire still increasing?��


    By the side, when Westdawn and the rest heard Great Emperor Eastsun��s words, they were extremely surprised, looking over one after another.


    Inside the Soul Refining Furnace, Ye Yuan��s soul body had already completely disappeared.


    Therefore, everyone thought that he was already dead.


    But the 34th kind of Dao fire had truly descended!


    1


    ��Could it be that he��s not dead yet?��


    ��How is that possible? His soul body has already completely dissipated. He��s clearly completely dead already!��


    ��But how do you explain why the Dao fires in the Soul Refining Furnace haven��t gone out yet?��


    ��There wouldn��t be some problem with the Soul Refining Furnace, right?��


    �� ��


    A phenomenon that they could not explain appeared.


    Even the few Great Emperors were very perplexed too.


    ��Brother Eastsun, is there something wrong with the Soul Refining Furnace? Why don��t you cast a spell to interrupt the Soul Refining Furnace, let the Dao fires extinguish,�� Great Emperor Westdawn said.


    As the hall master, he naturally had the authority to control these Soul Refining Furnace projections.


    When Eastsun heard that, he nodded his head and fired out one soul seal after another.


    However, in the next moment, Ye Yuan��s Soul Refining Furnace suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.


    Great Emperor Eastsun gave a muffled groan, his entire person falling several steps back in a row. His soul body became much more illusory too. Clearly, he had sustained considerable injuries.


    The other people��s expressions changed one after another.


    ��What��s wrong, Brother Eastsun?�� Westdawn asked.


    Great Emperor Eastsun shook his head and said, ��I don��t know. The Soul Refining Furnace has already broken away from my control. It gave me a backlash just now!��


    Westdawn��s pupils constricted, and he said in astonishment, ��How is this possible! You��re the hall master. You have the authority to control the Soul Refining Furnace!��


    Great Emperor Eastsun smiled bitterly and said, ��Now, it��s no longer what I can control! It can only depend on when the Soul Refining Furnace stops by itself. But I hope that nothing bad happens.��


    Everyone started to panic.


    Now, something that even the hall master could not control had appeared!


    Qin Shitian��s expression was somewhat ugly.


    This Ye Yuan really left no peace even after he died!


    I��m a ten wroughts powerhouse now. Being Lord Young Emperor is right when one is like the noonday sun. Shouldn��t I be enjoying everyone��s admiration?


    But all these were ruined by Ye Yuan!


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, the Soul Refining Furnace started trembling intensely, as if it might explode at any time.


    Everyone��s faces changed again, staring at the Soul Refining Furnace with vigilance looks.


    Unknown things always made people afraid.


    Very soon, four hours passed, the 44th kind of Dao fire descended!


    Hence, the Soul Refining Furnace��s trembling became even more intense.


    The current Soul Refining Furnace was like a machine that would never rest. Nobody could stop it.


    45th kind, 46th kind, 47th kind, 48th kind, 49th kind!


    In a twinkle, it was another day!


    When the last Dao fire descended, the entire Soul Refining Furnace seemed to be boiling.


    The cover on top of the furnace was actually going to be pushed off.


    Everyone exchanged glances, feeling like the Soul Refining Furnace was about to explode.


    ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    ��This Ye Yuan is also formidable, already dead and he can still cause new problems!��


    ��This guy wouldn��t have triggered some secret mechanism to blow this Nirvana Soul Hall up, right? I feel that with this power, once it blows up, none of us can run away!��


    ��Quickly look! The Soul Refining Furnace is emitting smoke! Wafts of hot air are actually emerging from the Soul Refining Furnace! Could it be that Ye Yuan was refined into smoke?��


    �� ��


    At this time, large quantities of cloud and mist emerged from the Soul Refining Furnace, looking extremely like water boiling.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s entire body trembled, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment as he cried out in alarm, ��That �� That wouldn��t be �� wouldn��t be ����


    ��Congratulations, Brother Qin! From now on, the skies will be vast with brilliant prospects, the seas wide for fishes to leap about!�� Zhou Yu��s expression was somewhat unnatural as he said.

 Chapter 2932 - Strongest Soul Physique!

    Many people did not understand why Great Emperor Eastsun would lose composure like this.


    Even when Qin Shitian broke through to ten wroughts earlier, they did not see him so shocked either.


    What did this smoking represent?


    But Westdawn and Woodrelease, two Great Emperors, seemed to have realized something. Their expressions immediately became fascinating.


    ��You��re saying, that �� that��s the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? This �� This is impossible, right?�� Westdawn said.


    Great Emperor Eastsun drew a deep breath and said, ��Otherwise, how do you explain why the Dao fires are still descending? There��s no mistake. It��s definitely the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    Not far away, Qin Shitian��s pupils constricted, and he exploded at once, exclaiming, ��What?! Could Master be talking about �� Hegemon Imperishable��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?��


    Eastsun nodded and said, ��Otherwise, can there still be a second Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?��


    Hang on, didn��t a second one appear now?


    With this, everyone was shocked, and the entire place burst out into an uproar.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    ��One of the three great Hegemons, Hegemon Imperishable? What Ye Yuan awakened is the same soul physique as him?��


    ��Doesn��t that mean that Ye Yuan might very likely corroborate his Dao as a supreme in the future?��


    ��Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! It��s also called Imperishable Soul Physique! The reason why Hegemon Imperishable got his name is because his soul physique is too strong and can��t be killed at all! Could it be that �� Ye Yuan is the same as him?��


    ��This �� This is impossible, right? How did it suddenly �� Then wouldn��t Qin Shitian become a joke?��


    �� ��


    Soul race��s three great Hegemons, Hegemon Imperishable, Hegemon Samsara, as well as Hegemon Heavenly Soul!


    Hegemon Samsara and Hegemon Heavenly Soul were both Chaos Hegemons that the Qi Soul Clan gave birth to.


    Meanwhile, Hegemon Imperishable was the strongest Hegemon that the Nirvanic Soul Clan gave birth to!


    This so-called strongest Hegemon was not the strongest in the world, but he was the strongest across all the heavens!


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s strength was extremely formidable, but he could not rank in the top three in the human race at all.


    But Hegemon Imperishable was one of the strongest three Hegemons in the entire soul race!


    Now, Ye Yuan awakened the same soul physique as him. Everyone��s shock could be imagined.


    This kind of soul physique was too strong!


    Could not be killed no matter how you tried to kill the person; this kind of soul physique could be rated as freakish.


    No matter how exceedingly formidable your means, if you can��t kill the opponent, how would you play?


    Although both Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique and ten wroughts were hailed as being unkillable, the level was completely different!


    Ten wroughts could be killed.


    But up to this point, out of the Hegemons in all the heavens, no one could kill Hegemon Imperishable yet!


    Qin Shitian stared fixedly at that smoking Soul Refining Furnace, his eyes full of unwillingness.


    How was this possible?


    Ten wroughts was not the final form of the soul body.


    Above ten wroughts, with the meeting of karmic fate, the soul race would awaken all kinds of powerful soul physiques that had attributes.


    Such as Hegemon Heaven Subduer from 30 thousand years ago, he awakened the powerful Tyrant Heaven Soul Physique, also achieving his unmatched and awe-inspiring reputation.


    But, for countless years, there had been many soul physiques that the soul race awakened. But, not one could surpass the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    And ever since Hegemon Imperishable, no one could awaken the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique anymore.


    This soul physique was too hard to awaken!


    Therefore, up until now, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was also publicly recognized as the most difficult soul physique to awaken in the soul race!


    Not one of!


    However, today, Ye Yuan actually awakened it! The significance was extraordinary!


    After the shock, Great Emperor Eastsun��s face was full of an agitated expression.


    If a genius who awakened the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique appeared in the Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall, this was absolutely tremendous glory!


    As the saying went, When one man attained Dao, his fowls and dogs ascended to heaven too.


    What did a mere ten wroughts count for, when compared to the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?


    Seeing Great Emperor Eastsun��s expression, Qin Shitian felt like he had incredibly bad luck.


    He naturally understood what Great Emperor Eastsun was thinking. An object was valued in proportion to its rarity. If Ye Yuan was really of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, that would be the Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall��s pride.


    As for him, concerning his ten wroughts soul body, he was no longer important. He could only scoot over to one side!


    But, the important thing now was that, did Ye Yuan really awaken the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?


    ��Master, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is the strongest in the world! Countless tens of thousands of years have already passed. How can it possibly suddenly appear? In my view, even if Ye Yuan awakened a special soul physique, it��s impossible for it to be the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique too!�� Qin Shitian said.


    Great Emperor Eastsun was taken aback, but he reacted to it very quickly too.


    Yeah, how could the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique be so easy to awaken?


    The 33 Heavens had already existed for God knows how many years.


    But for so many years, only one Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique appeared!


    The other soul physiques, no matter how long the interval, it had all appeared once before.


    Only this Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique did not.


    As for the Qi Soul Clan��s soul physiques, that was born from chaos. It was totally different from the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    Great Emperor Eastsun��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��But his current form is virtually identical with the legendary Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    Qin Shitian smiled coldly and said, ��Our soul race presently has thousands of soul physiques recorded! After so many years, there have been special soul physiques that appeared non-stop too. Perhaps, the soul physique that Ye Yuan awakened is just similar to the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? Or, even if his soul physique really has attributes like the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, it might be worlds apart compared to the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? How can Hegemon Imperishable emerge so easily?��


    The moment everyone heard, yeah!


    These countless years, god knows how many soul race Hegemon Realm powerhouses had been born, and a large batch had fallen too.


    But the ones who stood firmly and indomitably at the summit of Hegemons were the three great Hegemons!


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan also wanted to give birth to another powerhouse that could rival the three great Hegemons.


    However, they did not!


    Qin Shitian��s words splashed down their heads like a basin of cold water.


    Great Emperor Eastsun nodded and said, ��What Shitian said is right! However, carry on looking and we��ll die!��


    Amidst the discussions, the Soul Refining Furnace��s trembling became fiercer and fierce. The mist also grew thicker and thicker.


    Finally four hours�� time was up.


    Boom!


    A loud boom could be heard. The Soul Refining Furnace exploded with a loud bang, fragmenting into pieces.


    Dozens of Dao fire scattered everywhere!


    The thick mist teemed the entire space.


    Everyone��s expression changed wildly!


    The three Great Emperors�� expressions turned intent, taking action at the same time, extinguishing these Dao fires.


    The mist started to slowly gather and actually transformed into Ye Yuan��s figure in the end.


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air.


    ��He really didn��t die! Furthermore, this is virtually identical to the legendary Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    ��Could it be that after Hegemon Imperishable, a second Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is really going to be born?��


    ��Originally, I thought that Ye Yuan was just a stepping stone. Only now do I know that he��s a sky-scraping pillar!��


    �� ��


    In the Nirvana Soul Hall, cries of exclamations sounded out.


    No one could have thought that a simple test would develop into such an explosive situation in the end.


    First, it was Qin Shitian breaking through to ten wroughts, and then it was Ye Yuan giving birth to the strongest soul physique!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on Qin Shitian, and he could not help saying with some surprise, ��Eh? I didn��t expect that you really broke through the 42 kinds of chaos Dao fires! Looks like your talent is indeed pretty good!��


    Everyone��s faces revealed extremely strange looks, looking toward Qin Shitian one after another.


    The latter��s face already became a horse��s face.


    Why did this sound so sarcastic?


    I��m called pretty good talent, then what are you called?

 Chapter 2933 - Test!

    ��Ye Yuan, your soul physique hasn��t been confirmed as the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, and you��re already this impatient to want to humiliate me? Be careful that you slap your own face!��


    Qin Shitian felt a strong humiliation and immediately retorted.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan really awakened the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    Ye Yuan was stunned and said, ��Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? You��re saying that the soul physique I awakened is the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?��


    Qin Shitian smiled coldly and said, ��Not confirmed yet! It��s just that looking at it on the surface, it��s very alike. That��s all! The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is the number one soul physique. How can it be what you can awaken?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly saw the light and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��Oh, so that��s how it is! No wonder your reaction is so big. It turns out that you turned angry from embarrassment!��


    ��You!��


    Qin Shitian nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Don��t comment if you saw through it! This guy was really detestable!


    By the side, Zhou Yu and He Chen felt like their frustrations were vented, secretly satisfied to the extreme.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    At this point, they could not bear the sight of Qin Shitian��s face anymore as well.


    Since he came to the soul race, Ye Yuan had naturally heard Cloudmount and Mi Tian talk about this Nirvanic Soul Clan��s number one soul physique before.


    It was just that he himself also did not expect that the soul physique he awakened now was actually suspected to be the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    Didn��t that mean that this half-divided soul of his had hopes of reaching Hegemon Imperishable��s level?


    ��No matter whether or not what Ye Yuan awakened is the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, it��s also much stronger than ten wroughts! Shitian, how are you speaking to Lord Young Hegemon? Why haven��t you apologized?!�� Right at this time, Great Emperor Eastsun gave Qin Shitian a deadly blow.


    Qin Shitian��s face was embarrassed to the extreme.


    He did not expect that the one who put him on the spot was actually his own master!


    This face-change was really faster than flipping a book!


    However, in Great Emperor Eastsun��s view, his disciple��s face was clearly not important.


    The important thing was the Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall��s future!


    Originally, to the three great hall masters, a ten wroughts soul body was absolutely a genius that made them value greatly.


    But now, with Ye Yuan, Qin Shitian had become nothing.


    Young Emperor, Young Hegemon; the difference of one word, but the difference was akin to heaven and earth!


    Young Hegemon, that was a genius with extremely high hopes of stepping into Hegemon Realm!


    The status was more than a level stronger than Young Emperor!


    Zhou Yu and He Chen, two people who were really satisfied to the extremely currently.


    Truly instant karma!


    Just a day ago, Qin Shitian swept their faces to the ground with the status of Young Emperor.


    But now, Ye Yuan made Qin Shitian unable to raise his head with the identity of Young Hegemon!


    Furthermore, Qin Shitian flaunted his prowess himself.


    But now, it was Great Emperor Eastsun, his own master, who personally slapped his face!


    ��Yes! Qin Shitian affronted Lord Young Hegemon. Please pardon my crime!�� Qin Shitian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Qin Shitian, it seems like right when we entered the hall entrance assessment, you have constantly been offending me. Why? Want to casually brush it off with a word?��


    Qin Shitian��s eyes turned black, wishing to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Right from the beginning, he had been posturing in front of Ye Yuan.


    Originally, he thought that he could take Ye Yuan down in the first round. But who could have thought that Ye Yuan actually cleared the stage in five breaths!


    Originally thought that in the second round, it was already very impressive that he made it to the seventh segment. In the end, Ye Yuan cleared the stage again unhurriedly!


    Originally thought that in the third round, he reached the heaven-defying ten wroughts. He could finally posture, right?


    Who knew that Ye Yuan actually awakened a special soul physique? Furthermore, it was even suspected to be the number one soul physique, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    From start to end, he was just a joke!


    ��W-What do you want?�� Qin Shitian��s expression changed as he said.


    But Ye Yuan looked toward Great Emperor Eastsun and said with a smile, ��Lord Hall Master, I wonder if there��s any problem if I want to exterminate him now?��


    Great Emperor Eastsun hesitated for a moment and said, ��Lord Young Hegemon, Shitian is this seat��s disciple in the end. Can you let him off?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Lord Hall Master, how about this? You all haven��t confirmed yet, whether or not I��m of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, right? I think that Qin Shitian is also unconvinced by me, this so-called Young Hegemon. Why don��t I have a fair fight with him to determine life and death? How about it?��


    Eastsun smiled bitterly and said, ��Lord Young Hegemon has already awakened a special soul physique. Even if it isn��t the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, Shitian isn��t a match either.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Therefore, that��s why I said a fair fight! Within ten moves, he can go all out. I won��t make any resistance! If he can kill me, that will show that I, this so-called Imperishable Soul Physique, am naturally unworthy of the title. After ten moves, if he can��t kill me, then I��ll make a move. How about it?��


    ��This �� ��


    ��Okay! I agree!��


    When Eastsun was still hesitating, Qin Shitian himself agreed to it.


    Even until now, he also did not believe that Ye Yuan really awakened the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    This was considered to have been decided on it.


    Great Emperor Eastsun could not come forward to intervene too.


    Everyone moved aside, creating an open space. In the center of the field, there was just Ye Yuan and Qin Shitian.


    The confrontation between a ten wroughts soul body and a suspected Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique also aroused everyone��s great interest.


    This kind of showdown was hard to come across in a million years!


    ��If Ye Yuan isn��t of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, the ten wroughts Qin Shitian might really have a possibility of killing him! I feel that Ye Yuan is too confident. How can the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique be so easy to awaken?��


    ��Heard that Qin Shitian mastered several killing moves in the Scarlet Drill Battlefield! Now that he has achieved ten wroughts, even if an Emperor Realm powerhouse is standing there, he has the confidence to kill him too!��


    ��However, if Ye Yuan is really of the Imperishable Soul Physique, then it will really shake the entire soul race!��


    �� ��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s soul physique, there was more skepticism.


    Because the legendary Imperishable Soul Physique was seriously too hard to give birth to.


    Since time immemorial, God knew how many geniuses had attempted to awaken this Imperishable Soul Physique and failed to succeed.


    Therefore, more still felt pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    Not moving for ten moves was sufficient to let Qin Shitian kill Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be foolish enough to seek death. In reality, he could feel that his soul physique was very extraordinary.


    Previously, when he transformed into mist, that sort of form was very miraculous.


    It was as if nothing could make him completely die.


    That sort of power rooted at the bottom of his heart!


    Qin Shitian looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Ye Yuan, you just quietly pray that you��re of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! Otherwise, you��ll definitely die beyond doubt within ten moves!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Make your move; you really talk a lot of crap!��


    Qin Shitian��s expression turned cold. Suddenly, his soul force erupted crazily.


    Under ten wroughts, his soul force almost turned corporeal!


    Countless black stars surrounded Ye Yuan tightly!


    Zhou Yu��s expression changed, and he cried out in shock, ��Star Soul Explosion! This is the killing move that Qin Shitian comprehended himself, it has boundless power! When he was at the middle True Sovereign Heaven Realm, he had once used this move to surprise attack, killing a human half-step Emperor Realm before! Now, he��s already ten wroughts. Ye Yuan isn��t guarding against him, unless ����


    Unless Ye Yuan was of the Imperishable Soul Physique, he would definitely die without a doubt!


    Even if he had a special soul physique, it would not do either!


    Zhou Yu clearly understood Qin Shitian very well. So he did not expect that the moment Qin Shitian made his move, it was such a swift and fierce killing move.


    Furthermore, looking at his appearance, he was already going all out!


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Countless star souls exploded in front of Ye Yuan, releasing incomparably terrifying soul force undulations.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body was bombarded until it became extremely distorted!

 Chapter 2934 - The Powerful Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!

    ��Explode! Explode! Explode!��


    Qin Shitian��s soul force poured out frenziedly, and one Star Soul Explosion after another exploded next to Ye Yuan.


    But, apart from his body being a little distorted, Ye Yuan did not show the slightest signs of dissipating.


    Qin Shitian��s heart was wildly shaking. Could it be that this guy was really of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique?


    ��Ten wroughts, our genius only has this bit of strength? If it��s just this bit of strength, you aren��t even qualified to make me turn into mist form!��


    Amidst the Soul Star Explosions came Ye Yuan��s ridiculing voice.


    At this time, he felt the power of the soul body!


    Got to say, Qin Shitian��s attack was already extremely strong.


    If an Emperor Realm powerhouse did not defend in the slightest, allowing Qin Shitian to cast his spell as he wished, he would also have to die with regrets at this time.


    But Ye Yuan did not even utilize soul force at all, and Qin Shitian could not breach his soul body too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    This soul physique��s toughness was terrifyingly strong!


    Finally, Qin Shitian suddenly rescinded his move.


    The first move, he lost!


    Ye Yuan��s soul body recovered back to new. It was as if nothing had happened just now.


    With this, everyone was shocked!


    Even Great Emperor Eastsun felt the power of Ye Yuan��s soul body too.


    This kind of toughness, even if it was ten wroughts, it was impossible to achieve it too.


    ��I absolutely don��t believe that you can awaken the Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    Qin Shitian virtually roared it out, the soul force on his body skyrocketing once more!


    The killing move that erupted this time was even stronger than Star Soul Explosion!


    It was just that sadly, he was still unable to hurt Ye Yuan.


    Qin Shitian had a lot of means. He unleashed nine moves in a row, each move stronger than the last.


    It was just that sadly, Ye Yuan��s soul physique was like a roly-poly. No matter how strong your means, you could not knock him down too.


    Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, the strongest form was to turn into mist.


    But Qin Shitian unleashed nine moves in a row, and Ye Yuan did not even release his mist form at all.


    The Nirvana Soul Hall��s powerhouses were shocked.


    ��So strong! Is �� this the Imperishable Soul Physique?��


    ��There��s no weakness to exploit at all! Qin Shitian��s ten wroughts soul body coupled with killing moves can virtually rival Emperor Realm powerhouses already. But it��s actually unable to even make him use the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    ��Such a freakish soul body, who can kill him?��


    �� ��


    It was not that Qin Shitian was not wrong, but that Qin Shitian was too strong!


    It was precisely because he was strong until it was shocking that it showed the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique��s power even more!


    At this time, they already pretty much believed that what Ye Yuan awakened was probably really the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    Nine moves failed, while Qin Shitian himself was dog-tired.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s still one move. If you still can��t kill me, I��m going to make a move.��


    Qin Shitian clenched his jaws hard and said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, don��t you get cocky! This tenth move, I��ll definitely make you regret it! Speaking of which, I have to thank you too. If not for you, I also wouldn��t have achieved mastery through comprehensive study of my previous killing moves, comprehending this sub-origin soul martial move!��


    It was only to see a bright moon slowly rising in Qin Shitian��s hand.


    The aura of Dao filled the entire space.


    When everyone saw this scene, each of them was extremely shocked.


    ��Sub-origin soul martial! This is the embryonic form of an origin soul martial!��


    ��How can this guy be so monstrous? Once he reaches Emperor Sakra Heaven, this move will be able to transform into an origin soul martial.��


    ��As long as he��s given time, he��ll definitely be able to become Hegemon!��


    �� ��


    When human race powerhouses comprehended the power of origin, they would create divine abilities.


    Meanwhile, what soul race powerhouses comprehended was origin soul martials!


    Qin Shitian had not comprehended an origin yet. It was naturally impossible to comprehend an origin soul martial.


    But the sub-origin soul martial this time already touched the level of Dao. Comprehending origin in the future was just taking something out of his bag.


    Being able to reach this step at True Sovereign Heaven, Qin Shitian was absolutely a genius among geniuses already.


    Hence, that was why people would be so surprised.


    The hall entrance assessment this time was really where developments of many things kept reaching new heights, all kinds of surprises emerging in endless streams!


    Ye Yuan felt the extraordinariness of this move too and said with a smile, ��This move is a little interesting!��


    Qin Shitian smiled coldly and said, ��A little interesting? Ye Yuan, I admit that your soul physique is very powerful. But the final victory will definitely be me! Moon Akin to Frost, annihilate for me!��


    There was no earth-shaking soul force undulation. Under the moonlight, the frost was akin to silver, cascading down, covering Ye Yuan��s soul body fully.


    This time, Ye Yuan��s soul body finally had a change!


    His soul body actually started to disintegrate and dissipate!


    When everyone saw this scene, each one of them was extremely shocked.


    Qin Shitian actually really did it!


    The current Ye Yuan seemed to have been decomposed into billions of pixels, his soul body shattering into pieces.


    Sub-origin soul martial already came into contact with Soul Dao Origin, it had boundless power.


    But very soon, those fragmented pieces of soul body actually started to turn into mist.


    A cloud of mist began to emerge.


    The misty air did not dissipate but headed towards that bright moon.


    The frost was still raining down, but under the propulsion of the misty air, it did not have any leeway to resist at all.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the bright moon dissipated. Qin Shitian gave a muffled groan, his soul body becoming much dimmer too.


    Following that, the mist condensed again, turning into Ye Yuan.


    Qin Shitian��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He lost!


    Completely defeated!


    His Moon Akin to Frost had already touched origin, but it was still unable to do anything to Ye Yuan.


    ��This move is decent, but it��s also merely just decent. That��s all. I don��t know whether or not my soul physique is the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, but I think it��s sufficient to deal with this move of yours. Then, following that, it��s my turn to make a move!��


    Ye Yuan looked straight at Qin Shitian and just did so, looking.


    How could Qin Shitian be willing to surrender without resistance? He was even waiting to make a move and fight back.


    But he suddenly discovered that he could not move anymore.


    His consciousness began to blur.


    His soul body began to dissipate.


    All around, each and every one of the Nirvana Soul Hall��s powerhouses felt their hair stand on end.


    Ye Yuan just looked at Qin Shitian like this and did not even see him make any movements at all.


    Just one look, Qin Shitian��s ten wroughts soul body began to dissipate!


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air. That was a ten wroughts soul body!


    The legendary ten wroughts actually could not even beat a single look?


    ��ARGHH!!��


    Qin Shitian let out a miserable scream, but his voice became weaker and weaker, turning into nothingness in the end.


    The entire Nirvana Soul Hall was quiet until the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.


    ��Lord Hall Master, tell me, is this soul physique of mine the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique or not?�� Ye Yuan asked Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique rather curiously.


    Actually, until now, he also did not dare to confirm whether or not it was the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    The latter was startled. Only then he returned to his senses and said with a bitter smile, ��This, this seat really doesn��t know. Hegemon Imperishable, that��s a figure in the heavens. This seat has no way of knowing about the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique��s characteristics too. It��s just that judging from the form, it��s indeed exactly like in the legends!��


    He drew a deep breath and said, ��This matter is by no means insignificant. Lord Young Hegemon should cultivate in the Nirvanic Soul Hall. This seat will immediately send the news back to the clan and request the powerhouses in the clan to confirm.��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Alright. Then I��ll have to trouble Lord Hall Master.��


    Watching Ye Yuan leave, everyone��s hearts were still incredibly shocked.


    No matter whether or not Ye Yuan was of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, the strength of this soul physique was hair-raisingly strong!

 Chapter 2935 - Digging Your Own Grave!

    In the passageway, light shone.


    Two figures slowly walked out of the passageway.


    ��Eastsun leads Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall and pays respect to Lord Cloudneon! Paying respect to Young Hegemon Feng Rui!�� Eastsun led Westdawn and the rest to bow to the two people.


    The arrival was a woman who was peerlessly beautiful with an extraordinary temperament.


    Meanwhile, the youth behind her had an arrogant and unyielding look on his face.


    These Great Emperors in front of him seemed to be utterly worthless in his eyes.


    Cloudneon nodded slightly and said, ��Brother Eastsun has trained a lot.��


    Eastsun repeated that he did not dare.


    In the crowd, Ye Yuan sized Cloudneon up with interest.


    He heard that this woman was hailed as one of the few people closest to Hegemon Realm in the soul race.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    In the soul race, her status was extraordinary.


    She seemed to be a heavenly fairy amidst the group of powerhouses, unable to be touched.


    Arriving at Nirvana Soul Hall, the group of people sat down according to guest and host.


    Cloudneon saw the Ye Yuan in the crowd with a glance and was rippleless like an ancient well as she said, ��Is the one that��s suspected to be Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique that you talked about, him?��


    Eastsun said, ��Lord Cloudneon��s eyes are like torches. He��s Ye Yuan!��


    ��Master, don��t need to look anymore. It must be a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique too! These guys from the outside world like to kick up a big fuss when they see a special soul physique every few thousand or tens of thousands of years. They don��t know that our Imperishable Soul Domain will have a special soul physique appear every 80 or 100 years. God knows how many Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques such as this have already appeared. Do these country bumpkins really think that Ancestor Imperishable��s soul physique is what everyone can awaken?�� Feng Rui said with a disdainful look.


    1


    The moment these words came out, everyone present was extremely shocked.


    Every 80 to 100 years, a special soul physique would emerge?


    This rate was also too high, right?


    Didn��t that mean that in the Imperishable Soul Domain, geniuses like Ye Yuan were everywhere?


    They discovered that Feng Rui��s one sentence already subverted their worldview!


    When Feng Rui saw their expressions, he had a disdainful look as he said, ��What do 80 to 100 years count for? In the recent ten years, Imperishable Soul Domain gave birth to seven special soul physiques! There was even one that��s second only to Ancestor Imperishable��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    Everyone stared dumbfoundedly. Even Great Emperor Eastsun had a stunned look too.


    Were special soul physiques so worthless?


    In reality, they all, these Nirvana Soul Halls�� hall masters, knew extremely little about the Imperishable Soul Domain��s matters too.


    Without special circumstances, they did not have the qualifications to enter the Imperishable Soul Domain.


    They were merely tools that the Imperishable Soul Domain used to rule the world.


    Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall was short on talents, so they were marginalized even more. They knew absolutely nothing about the Imperishable Soul Domain��s matters.


    ��But �� But Hegemon Heaven Subduer he ����


    ��Heh, do you all really think that Hegemon Heaven Subduer could corroborate his Dao and become a Hegemon Realm just by relying on his soul physique? If Hegemon Realm was so easy, Master would have long stepped into Hegemon Realm!�� Feng Rui said with a cold smile.


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��Feng Rui isn��t bluffing you guys. Special soul physiques are indeed nothing in the Imperishable Soul Domain. Of course, soul physiques had weak ones and strong ones. Hegemon Heaven Subduer��s Tyrant Heaven Soul Physique is indeed extremely strong, that��s how it could help him step into Hegemon Realm. But the weak ones aren��t even as good as ten wroughts!��


    Cloudneon did not say too much. Clearly, she felt that even if they knew these things, it was useless too.


    These words seemed to have opened another door for everyone.


    Only then did they know that it turned out soul physiques still had so many things involved.


    It was just that special soul physiques were extremely far away from them to begin with.


    As for Hegemon Realm and whatnot, it was even further beyond reach.


    At this time, Great Emperor Eastsun let out a slight sigh in his heart. He no longer harbored any hopes that Ye Yuan was of the Imperishable Soul Physique.


    They already said that this kind of pseudo soul physique was plentiful.


    ��So that��s how it is. Eastsun has received the teachings. However, Ye Yuan killed a ten wroughts powerhouse with just one look. His soul physique shouldn��t be weak, right?�� Eastsun said.


    ��Pffft!��


    Feng Rui could not resist laughing and said, ��Does a mere ten wroughts from your outside world count as some powerhouse too? Just a thought is enough for me to kill a ten wroughts! Kid, display your soul physique and let Master take a look. As long as it isn��t a trash soul physique, you can go with us.��


    That attitude was just like coming to put on a monkey show. Ye Yuan��s brows could not refrain from furrowing.


    When Eastsun saw Ye Yuan frowning, he urged, ��Ye Yuan, hurry up and display your soul physique. What are you still in a daze for? Lord Cloudneon has arrived. This is a rare opportunity!��


    Ye Yuan still remained silent.


    When Feng Rui saw the situation, he smiled coldly and said, ��Put away that pitiful pride of yours! The more powerful the soul physique, the weaker the pseudo soul physique tends to be! If there are no accidents, you should be of the trashiest low-grade yellow rank soul physique! Gave you face and you still refused it! Don��t blame me for not warning you. With how you are, if you go to the Imperishable Soul Domain, apart from being beaten to death by people, there are no other paths to take!��


    Ye Yuan still did not speak. He looked toward Great Emperor Cloudneon.


    Great Emperor Cloudneon said coolly, ��Rumors often tend to be false. You��d best display it.��


    At this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said, ��I wonder what rank Young Hegemon Feng Rui��s soul physique is?��


    Feng Rui snickered and said proudly, ��I knew that you��d ask this! Listen up. Don��t piss your pants in fear! Soul physiques are divided into heaven, earth, mystic, and yellow, four ranks. Each rank is further divided into upper, middle, and low, three grades. This young hegemon��s snickering is of the middle-grade heaven rank!��


    The moment these words came out, the Nirvana Soul Hall instantly exploded.


    Only at this time did they know that the disparity between special soul physiques was actually so great!


    The division of soul physiques did not spread to the outside world.


    It was because to the outside world, there was no need at all.


    This time, everyone in the Nirvana Soul Hall finally broadened their knowledge.


    However, what amazed them even more was that Feng Rui��s grade was actually so high!


    ��Sigh, we even thought that Ye Yuan was already the soul race��s number one genius! It turns out that it was us who were ignorant and ill-informed!��


    ��Yeah, Ye Yuan is somewhat bringing disgrace on his own head.��


    ��Imperishable Soul Domain��s geniuses are indeed not what we can imagine!��


    �� ��


    At this time, they no longer harbored any hopes about Ye Yuan.


    Previously, they thought that Ye Yuan��s soul physique was one of a kind. Furthermore, he killed Qin Shitian with one move. It naturally had a possibility of being the Imperishable Soul Physique.


    But looking at it now, it was virtually certain that it was the Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique.


    Furthermore, it was even a trash soul physique!


    But Ye Yuan was aloof and indifferent, and he said coolly, ��Is that so? Since Young Hegemon Feng is so formidable, then there��s no harm in verifying whether or not my soul physique is really trash.��


    Didn��t you want to play monkey?


    Then, come down and play together!


    When have I, Ye Yuan, been scared of anyone before?


    Even if it was a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique, so what?


    Feng Rui��s gaze turned cold, and he said, ��Boy, although you��re a trash soul physique, and it��s nothing in the Imperishable Soul Domain either. But awakening a soul physique in the outside world isn��t an easy matter after all! Letting this young hegemon come and verify, you probably can��t afford to bear the consequences!��


    Ye Yuan was provoking his majesty as Young Hegemon!


    Furthermore, he, Feng Rui, was an Emperor Realm powerhouse!


    A mere ant dared to provoke his dignity too!


    Ye Yuan just said coolly, ��Relax. I can afford to bear it! Young Hegemon Feng, please make a move!��


    Feng Rui gave a cold laugh and said, ��Very well, since you��re digging your own grave, then this young hegemon will send you off!��

 Chapter 2936 - Nothing More Than This!

    ��This Ye Yuan is also too lacking in judgment!��


    ��Barely managed to awaken a soul physique, even if it��s a trash soul physique, it��s better than nothing too!��


    ��This guy actually went to provoke an Emperor Realm powerhouse. Furthermore, it��s even a super genius among Emperor Realm powerhouses. Isn��t this digging his own grave?��


    �� ��


    When everyone saw that Ye Yuan was so stubborn, they shook their heads endlessly.


    They could not stand Feng Rui��s haughtiness too.


    But, so what if they could not bear the sight of it?


    Feng Rui and Qin Shitian were on completely different levels!


    Feng Rui was a true heaven��s chosen!


    Although it sounded unpleasant, what he said was right. This group of people was all bumpkins.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    How can Feng Rui, this middle-grade heaven rank soul physique, plus Emperor Realm strength, be what you, a measly little True Sovereign Heaven, can provoke?


    ��Master, since this ant-like thing is provoking me, there shouldn��t be any problem with me beating him to death, right?�� Feng Rui cupped his fists and said.


    Cloudneon still had the appearance of an ancient well without any ripples and said coolly, ��No problem.��


    Her words carried overweening arrogance and disdain.


    In her eyes, Ye Yuan was merely an unimportant ant. That was all.


    Trampling him to death was quite acceptable.


    With regards to this kind of despise, Ye Yuan had experienced god knows how many.


    He was naturally furious in his heart, but he would not show it on his face either. That would show a flaw.


    The only way to shut these people up was to be stronger than them!


    Feng Rui grinned, looking like he was itching for a fight as he floated down.


    ��Outside world��s genius, you might not know the gap between the outside world and the Imperishable Soul Domain. Today, this young hegemon will let you understand that you��re merely mundane! Whatever rubbish pride of a genius, you aren��t worthy of possessing such a thing!�� Feng Rui had a deprecating look as he said.


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, ��I��m very adept in making idiots like you shut up! Stop talking rubbish and bring it on.��


    Feng Rui��s pupils constricted, a divine soul attack already arriving.


    Ye Yuan could kill a ten wroughts with one glance. He could naturally kill Ye Yuan with one look too.


    He wanted to let these ants understand that the outside world��s so-called geniuses were nothing at all!


    Let them be filled with even more awe toward the Imperishable Soul Domain!


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan gave a muffled groan. His entire person seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, falling several steps back in a row.


    Following that, his soul body also became much dimmer.


    Clearly, the power of this blow was tremendously strong!


    When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed one after another.


    ��So strong! He just casually dealt an attack and it injured Ye Yuan already!��


    ��Previously, Qin Shitian even unleashed his sub-origin soul martial and failed to harm Ye Yuan too!��


    ��Are the Imperishable Soul Domain��s geniuses all so strong?��


    �� ��


    Facing the bumpkins with shocked faces, Feng Rui was very pleased with himself.


    It was just that a hint of surprise actually flashed across Cloudneon��s ten-thousand-year-ice-like face.


    Actually, Feng Rui was also shocked in his heart.


    Divine soul attacks and divine soul attacks were different!


    What the Imperishable Soul Domain��s geniuses cultivated were all extremely strong soul path martial arts. The power of their divine soul attacks could not be mentioned in the same breadth as the outside world at all.


    Furthermore, he was an Emperor Realm powerhouse. How terrifying was the power of his one blow?


    But Ye Yuan actually just moved back several steps?


    Feng Rui was very dissatisfied with this result.


    In his view, this strike could have taken Ye Yuan��s life!


    Ye Yuan��s soul physique was at most just upper-grade yellow rank. Plus, his cultivation realm was inferior to him too. Wouldn��t killing him be as easy as flipping over his hand?��


    But Ye Yuan��s toughness had clearly exceeded his expectations.


    ��Can��t even block an ordinary divine soul attack, just the likes of you dare to profess to be of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique too? You probably don��t know how terrifying the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is, right?�� Feng Rui said with a ridiculing look.


    Losing in reality but not losing in disposition; Feng Rui naturally would not admit that Ye Yuan was very strong.


    As long as he annihilated him with the next strike, these ��bumpkins�� would naturally continue to be shocked!


    Ye Yuan gave Feng Rui a glance and said coolly, ��Young Hegemon Feng, an exalted Emperor Realm powerhouse who also cultivated the Imperishable Soul Domain��s supreme martial arts, your divine soul attack only has this bit of power? Imperishable Soul Domain��s genius disappoints me greatly!��


    Ye Yuan cultivated the Divine Emergence and naturally knew how powerful the soul race��s mystic arts were.


    Although Feng Rui��s divine soul attack was inferior to the moves in Divine Emergence, it was also extremely powerful.


    At least, compared to Qin Shitian that sort of rookie, it was no idea how many times stronger!


    How could an attack that could injure his soul body be of an ordinary sort?


    Feng Rui��s pupils constricted, feeling like the cloth that was covering up his embarrassment was pulled off.


    Immediately, he turned angry from embarrassment.


    ��Heh, razor-tongued fellow, this young hegemon wants to see how long you can be stubborn until!��


    Feng Rui gave a cold laugh, Emperor Realm soul force erupting.


    The moment he erupted, Feng Rui��s strength was completely manifested.


    This condensed to the extreme soul force made a powerhouse like Great Emperor Eastsun perspire from embarrassment too.


    Only to see Feng Rui grip his hand, a punch flying out. The soul force came head-on like the boundless sea.


    Even the people outside of the field could feel the force of this punch.


    Forget about True Sovereign Heaven; even if an Emperor Realm powerhouse was here, it would be the outcome of the soul disintegrating too!


    ��Origin Dipper Force!��


    Feng Rui threw a punch out. Everyone broke into cold sweat for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan bent the bow and notched the arrow neither too fast nor too slow.


    ��Arrow of God Extermination!��


    Cloudneon��s gaze turned intent, her eyes showing even greater surprise.


    With her eyesight, she could naturally tell the extraordinary aspects of this move.


    It was just that, how could an outside world��s ant know such a profound soul path mystic art?


    Presently, Ye Yuan awakened the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, the power of this Arrow of God Extermination was dozens of times stronger than before!


    When this arrow was unleashed, in terms of power, it was not the slightest bit below Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    Boom!


    Two formidable soul forces collided together in the air.


    The undulation caused was not the slightest bit weaker than the undulation caused by divine essence!


    The expressions of the powerhouses present changed one after another, incredibly shocked.


    These two people were both too strong!


    One had to know that the showdown of soul force was often silent.


    Even if it caused some fluctuations, that was far from the fluctuations caused by divine essence.


    But these two people��s fight already spurred heaven and earth spiritual energy to wreak havoc. The combat power already did not lose to the human race in the least bit.


    However, Ye Yuan gave another muffled groan under this blow and flew out backward.


    This time, his soul body became even dimmer. Clearly, he had suffered even greater injuries.


    However, Feng Rui��s face did not show any joy. He became somewhat angry from embarrassment.


    He had not even forced Ye Yuan��s soul physique form out up till now!


    This was a huge loss in face!


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan stabilized his figure, looking at Feng Rui as he said with a sneer, ��The strength of Imperishable Soul Domain��s genius is nothing more than this! You can��t even force my soul physique form out, and yet, you have the cheek to swagger and bluster in front of everyone too?��


    Nirvana Soul Hall��s powerhouses felt very pleased currently!


    They were pissed off with Feng Rui��s face too but did not dare to speak up despite feeling angry.


    But Ye Yuan used his strength and slapped his face ruthlessly.


    Even if he suffered a loss for both exchanges, he was just True Sovereign Heaven after all!


    An Imperishable Soul Domain��s genius, whose cultivation realm was higher than Ye Yuan, actually could not even force Ye Yuan��s soul physique form out. How disgraceful!


    Feng Rui��s face was grim, and he said with a cold snort, ��Brat, you forced my hand!��

 Chapter 2937 - Imperishable!

    This time, Feng Rui was truly enraged.


    In his eyes, the outside world��s so-called geniuses were all trash.


    But now, he could not even take care of a piece of trash!


    Sizzle!


    Five bolts of electricity coiled around Feng Rui��s body, shaking people to the core.


    Eastsun��s eyes shrunk, and he cried out in surprise, ��This �� Could this be the legendary Innate Five Lightning Soul Physique?��


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��Precisely so!��


    Eastsun drew a cold breath and said, ��Innate five lightnings! Chaos Divine Lightning, Allheaven Divine Lightning, Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, Three Pure Ones Divine Lightning, and Lightning Law Framework! Any one of them is a lightning that destroys the world! And this Dao of Lightning is extremely harmful to our soul race; hence, extremely few people awaken it. I didn��t expect that Young Hegemon Feng Rui actually awakened the Innate Five Lightning Soul Physique! Ye Yuan, hurry up and stop. Otherwise, it will be hard to guarantee your life!��


    The outside world did not know much about the Imperishable Soul Domain, but the various major hall masters were familiar with the data on soul physiques, so as to let them excavate geniuses.


    Therefore, Eastsun knew about this Innate Five Lightning Soul Physique as if enumerating his family��s valuables.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    It was precisely because so that he also knew the terror of this soul physique.


    It was already certain without a doubt that Ye Yuan was not of the Imperishable Soul Physique, wouldn��t continue to fight be courting death?


    ��Heh heh, didn��t he ask me to come and test his soul physique? Now, he hasn��t even used his soul physique. How do I test it?�� Feng Rui looked at Ye Yuan, laughing coldly.


    At this time, he was no longer hiding his killing intent.


    Seeing that Feng Rui��s soul physique had such power, Ye Yuan was also slightly fearful in his heart.


    Even without fighting, he could also feel that Feng Rui��s soul physique was extremely powerful.


    Qin Shitian��s so-called sub-origin soul martial was probably not even enough to carry shoes for Feng Rui.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Imperishable Soul Domain��s Emperor Realm genius even has to display his soul physique form when testing a True Sovereign Heaven��s soul physique. Huhu, it sounds so formidable you bragged about how the Imperishable Soul Domain is, but it��s nothing more than this! Showcase your ability; otherwise, I��m scared that you won��t be able to test it at all!��


    Feng Rui��s gaze turned chilly, and he said in a cold voice, ��Relax. You��ll die very pleasantly in a while!��


    Swoosh!


    In a blink, Feng Rui��s figure disappeared, his speed being swift to the extreme!


    Lightning rule specialized in speed to begin with, and the soul body displaying movement techniques even broke away from the fetters of the fleshy body.


    Even when compared to Ye Yuan��s spatial rule, it was also not far off.


    Ye Yuan only saw a blurry shadow instantly moving in front of him.


    Although Feng Rui was just lower Emperor Cloud Heaven, the gap from Sovereign Realm to Emperor Cloud Heaven was not an ordinary kind of big after all!


    ��Divine Firmament Thunder God Blade!��


    Only to see a thunder blade fall down, Ye Yuan��s soul body seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s soul body directly dissipated, turning into a mass of mist.


    Feng Rui gave a cold laugh, his soul physique instantly disappearing.


    The radius of a thousand feet completely transformed into a sea of lightning, enveloping the mist fully!


    ��Allheaven Lightning Sea, Myriad Soul Extermination!��


    In the lightning sea came Feng Rui��s furious roar.


    That cloud of mist rapidly withered away in this sea of lightning!


    When everyone saw this scene, they could not help drawing a cold breath.


    Really too strong!


    Especially this lightning sea, it was simply the jinx of the misty air!


    ��It��s over! With this, Ye Yuan is really finished!��


    ��Already said, to let him not flaunt his superiority!��


    ��Sigh, it��s really just as Feng Rui said. That bit of pitiful pride is nothing at all!��


    �� ��


    Looking as Ye Yuan was about to turn to ashes, many people sighed heavily.


    They understood Ye Yuan��s view. In reality, they wanted to struggle too.


    But what use did struggling have?


    Imperishable Soul Domain��s genius was a genius in the end!


    ��Hahaha, foolish guy! This is the outcome of provoking the Imperishable Soul Domain! Dying without a burial ground!�� In the lightning sea came Feng Rui��s loud laughter.


    This guy whose mouth owed a beating was finally dead!


    Cloudneon��s gaze flickered slightly, finally returning to tranquility.


    She saw through that Ye Yuan��s soul physique was absolutely not just yellow rank. But there was nothing to feel regret over either.


    This kind of Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique, the Imperishable Soul Domain had plenty.


    It did not matter that one died.


    The reason why she was sent here was also to express the importance that the Imperishable Soul Domain placed on the Imperishable Soul Physique.


    What if it was really the Imperishable Soul Physique?


    But, looking at it now, it was indeed still a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique!


    Soon, Feng Rui put away the lightning sea and reappeared.


    He looked towards Eastsun and said with a disdainful look, ��Now, don��t need me to say, you can also tell that it��s a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique, right? Next time, don��t kick up such a big fuss! These countless years, how many amazingly talented people have there been? But which one became Ancestor Imperishable? How can the outside world possibly have it if there isn��t any in the Imperishable Soul Domain?��


    Eastsun had a depressed look. Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall finally managed to produce two peerless geniuses.


    In the end, Qin Shitian was killed by Ye Yuan, and Ye Yuan was killed by Feng Rui.


    In the end, he ended up with nothing.


    ��Who did you say is Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique?��


    ��I said ����


    Seeing someone questioning him, Feng Rui answered without thinking.


    But, when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he suddenly noticed that something was not right.


    Turning around, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently standing there perfectly fine. It was as if nothing had happened.


    Feng Rui had an expression like he saw a ghost. He had clearly completely destroyed that misty air earlier. Why was this guy completely fine?


    A hint of surprise finally flashed across Cloudneon��s beautiful eyes.


    Earlier, she clearly could not detect any aura anymore. But Ye Yuan actually still came back to life!


    This Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique was a little interesting!


    ��You �� How can you possibly still be alive?�� Feng Rui had an expression like he saw a ghost as he said.


    ��Why can��t I be alive? Already said that it��s the Imperishable Soul Physique, why would I die?�� Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    In reality, he also thought that he was dead for sure just now.


    That Divine Firmament Thunder God Blade carried a powerful paralyzing effect.


    Feng Rui��s Five Lightning Soul Physique was no ordinary lightning. It carried origin attributes!


    This soul physique that he awakened was similar to the true spirit clan��s innate divine ability in the first place, with immense power.


    Under this paralysis, Ye Yuan could not even fight back, directly turning into mist.


    And the power of the Allheaven Divine Lightning sea was even more terrifying.


    There was no gap in the lightning sea at all.


    His misty air was refined bit by bit inside the lightning sea.


    But the miraculous thing was that he did not die. He retained a final trace of spiritual intelligence without being extinguished!


    This kind of feeling was rather magical. Ye Yuan felt as if he had returned to his mother��s womb and could peek at the entire world.


    When the lightning sea dispersed, an inexplicable power poured into the spiritual intelligence.


    Hence, he returned!


    The entire process was hard to describe.


    But, without a doubt, he indeed did not die!


    This Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was indeed magical!


    In reality, apart from Hegemon Imperishable, nobody could figure out what the hell the Imperishable Soul Physique was.


    Ye Yuan had just awakened it. He naturally could not figure it out either.


    But now, he seemed to have had some discovery.


    This Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was well-deserving of being called the Imperishable Soul Physique. If one did not figure out the situation, even if it was an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse, they might not be able to kill him too!


    But at this time, the shock that it brought to Feng Rui was clearly incomparably intense!

 Chapter 2938 - This Guy is Too Wicked!

    ��This �� He didn��t even die with this?��


    ��Could it be that what he awakened is really the Imperishable Soul Physique?��


    ��This is embarrassing! Feng Rui��s strength is clearly stronger than him, but the stronger he is, the more it proves that Ye Yuan has the Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    �� ��


    In the Nirvana Soul Hall, everyone was shocked.


    They did not know whether or not Ye Yuan was of the Imperishable Soul Physique.


    But, judging from things now, it was at least not some lowly Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique.


    ��Bullsh*t Imperishable Soul Physique! Just the likes of you, this kind of trash, can awaken the Imperishable Soul Physique too?��


    Feng Rui��s gaze turned cold. He felt immense humiliation!


    Hence, the Divine Firmament Thunder God Blade was unleashed again!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Under this Divine Firmament Thunder God Blade, Ye Yuan really did not have any strength to resist.


    Soul physique awakening was just the first step.


    How one cultivated and how one utilized soul physique were the most important thing.


    Similarly having awakened a soul physique, the combat power might be very far off.


    Ye Yuan cultivated the Divine Emergence, but Feng Rui��s strength was absolutely considered within the most pinnacle batch among lower Emperor Cloud Heavens.


    His application and cultivation of his soul physique already reached the acme of perfection.


    Even if facing off against middle or even upper Emperor Cloud Heavens, he was not at all inferior too!


    One could tell that Cloudneon indulged Feng Rui a lot.


    To be pampered by such a powerhouse, he naturally had some skill!


    If Ye Yuan crossed Emperor Realm this threshold, he could abuse him however he liked.


    But now, he was indeed not a match!


    Boom!


    Under the one blade, it directly chopped Ye Yuan into misty air.


    Feng Rui shouted fiercely, ��Chaos Divine Lightning, destroying heaven and earth! Exterminate for me!��


    Above the void, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled!


    This time, Feng Rui��s Chaos Divine Lightning had even more terrifying power than the Allheaven Divine Lightning seat previously.


    Places that it passed through, not a blade of grass survived!


    Very soon, the mist was eradicated until not the slightest bit remained.


    Feng Rui��s gaze was cold, looking at his surroundings vigilantly, searching for Ye Yuan��s figure again.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not revive, Feng Rui could not help letting out a sigh in relief.


    ��Humph! What rubbish Imperishable Soul Physique! It��s merely that he didn��t die thoroughly enough! If you revived again, this young hegemon will kill you again!�� Feng Rui said with a cold smile.


    However, in the next second, a cloud of mist appeared several dozen feet in front of him once more, condensing into Ye Yuan in the end.


    Feng Rui��s eyes became wide-saucers.


    This guy definitely did it on purpose!


    He waited for him to finish posturing before reviving again to slap his face!


    You �� F*ck you!


    ��Oh, is that so? Looks like this time, I still haven��t died thoroughly enough yet! I��ll have to trouble Young Hegemon Feng to kill me once more!�� Ye Yuan looked at Feng Rui and said with a radiant smile.


    He was already very certain that even if Feng Rui was a hundred times stronger, he could not kill him too!


    Ye Yuan did not know whether or not he had the Imperishable Soul Physique, but he knew that his soul physique was indeed not easy to kill.


    At least, Feng Rui did not have this ability!


    Ye Yuan even discovered that his revival seemed to be able to borrow the power of heaven and earth and would not consume his own soul force.


    It was as if he had fused into one with this world.


    Also, Feng Rui guessed correctly. Ye Yuan deliberately waited for him to posture, then revived.


    Feng Rui only felt his face burn fiery hot.


    He was a genius. He awakened the Innate Five Lightning Soul Physique and succeeded in cultivating the five kinds of lightning techniques!


    Furthermore, this five lightning technique placed the soul race immensely in the first place. It was simply ever-victorious in the soul race.


    But today, he was being mocked by an ant!


    Feng Rui��s gaze turned chilly, and he said in a cold voice, ��You��re asking for it. Don��t blame this young hegemon for not showing mercy!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said with a smile, ��Mn, an opponent like you is really hard to find! Since you��ve delivered yourself to the doorstep, where��s the logic of not using it? Now, I��m also very curious myself, where my own limits lie.��


    Feng Rui gave a cold snort, five divine lightnings tearing across the air!


    In an instant, a radius of a thousand feet was fully transformed into a lightning sea.


    It was just that similarly a lightning sea, but the power of the lightning sea that was fused and formed by five lightnings was more than ten times stronger!


    Five lightnings interwoven together, continuously reproducing in an endless succession, forming a powerful closed loop.


    In this space, he, Feng Rui, was a Hegemon!


    ��Five Lightning Execution, destroying myriad worlds!��


    Ye Yuan��s soul body turned to dust virtually without any strength to fight back, and then it was completely refined.


    But this time, Feng Rui did not withdraw the lightning sea right away.


    This lightning sea lasted all the way for two hours!


    No matter how formidable Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible to survive!


    Two hours later, Feng Rui recalled the lightning sea somewhat weakly.


    This Five Lightning Execution clearly imposed a considerable burden on him too.


    Sustaining for two hours, even with his Emperor Cloud Heaven soul body, it was somewhat too much for him to bear as well.


    However, in order to completely kill Ye Yuan, he went all out!


    Even if he went back and recuperated for a few months, he was willing too!


    A mere ant dared to provoke Feng Rui. Did he really think that he had the Imperishable Soul Physique?


    Even until now, Feng Rui did not believe that Ye Yuan had the Imperishable Soul Physique too.


    He was different from Great Emperor Eastsun and the others. As an Imperishable Soul Domain��s genius, he was all too clear how difficult the Imperishable Soul Physique was to awaken.


    This time, Feng Rui was not in a hurry to posture anymore but quietly waited.


    The others did not speak either. They just looked at him in terror like that.


    The combat power that Feng Rui exhibited frightened them badly.


    Lower Emperor Cloud Heaven, this sort of strength was sufficient to sweep away Emperor Cloud Heavens in the outside world!


    Even if it was grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven, in this Five Lightning Execution, there was only a road that led to death too!


    Sure enough, the outside world and the Imperishable Soul Domain were two different worlds!


    At this time, the place was silent.


    Everyone was waiting whether or not Ye Yuan would revive again.


    Cloudneon was waiting too!


    Honestly speaking, she was also very curious just how Ye Yuan revived.


    But at this time, she was already very sure that Ye Yuan soul physique was not ordinary.


    Even if it was not the Imperishable Soul Physique, it probably reached heaven rank too!


    She was all too clear about Feng Rui��s strength.


    Not everyone had the qualifications to toy with him!


    One breath, two breaths ��


    Very soon, 15 minutes passed.


    Feng Rui just stood there, waiting for a full 15 minutes


    During these 15 minutes, nobody spoke.


    Even if a gust of wind blew past, everyone held their breaths, seeing whether or not it was Ye Yuan who revived.


    However, he did not!


    Suddenly Feng Rui raised his head to the sky and said with a loud laughter, ��Hahaha �� Like I said, how can a second Imperishable Soul Physique possibly appear in this world? Ye Yuan, don��t you know how to revive? Revive for me to see!��


    Not knowing why, Feng Rui actually felt a great sense of accomplishment in being able to kill Ye Yuan.


    He detested this kind of feeling, but his heart could not contain it!


    However, just as he looked up to the sky, a strange atmosphere spread within the place.


    A cloud of misty air appeared again leisurely.


    Everyone looked at Feng Rui with strange expressions.


    ��Pfft!�� Many people could not even hold back their laughter.


    Ye Yuan, this fellow, was too wicked!


    He forcibly held it in for 15 minutes without reviving, just waiting for Feng Rui to posture.


    However, it seemed like this feeling of face-slapping was great!


    After all, Ye Yuan came from our Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall, no?

 Chapter 2939 - The terrifying Cloudneon!

    The laughter stopped abruptly!


    Because Feng Rui already felt one burning gaze after another.


    The moment he lowered his head, sure enough, he saw that disgusting face appearing in his eyes again!


    This �� How was this possible?


    Forget about a True Sovereign Heaven; even if it was an Emperor Vast Heaven, they would be refined in his lightning sea without the least bit of resistance too!


    But Ye Yuan was actually completely fine?


    C-Could it be that this guy actually really has the Imperishable Soul Physique?


    Feng Rui jumped in fright at this sudden thought.


    This was impossible!


    Hegemon Imperishable, that was a paramount existence.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    How could an ant possibly awaken the same soul physique as him?


    ��Since you want to see me revive so much, I��ll revive again for you to see then,�� Ye Yuan looked at Feng Rui and said with a radiant smile.


    Feng Rui nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood!


    This guy was really detestable to the extreme!


    F*ck your sister! Your Father waited 15 minutes for you, and you can really endure!


    ��Oh, right, what other more formidable methods do you have? I feel that I shouldn��t have reached my limits yet.�� Ye Yuan continued.


    Feng Rui was speechless.


    What else could I say?


    This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!


    Didn��t you see that Your Father was very weak now?


    Even the Five Lightning Execution could not exterminate Ye Yuan. He was really out of ideas.


    After making a show of force for half a day, he became a complete and utter joke!


    ��Alright, let��s end it here! Ye Yuan, are you willing to acknowledge me as your master?�� Cloudneon looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly.


    ��Not willing!�� Ye Yuan said without hesitation.


    The expressions of Eastsun and the rest turned stiff, almost jumping up.


    This guy was insane, right?


    ��Ye Yuan, Lord Cloudneon is a top powerhouse in the Imperishable Soul Domain. Being able to go under her tutelage is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!�� Eastsun said agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��So what? I gave her the chance. It��s her who didn��t cherish it! Since she felt it beneath her to care about my life and death, I naturally won��t stoop to going under her tutelage too.��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s soul body directly exploded, turning into nothingness.


    A moment later, Ye Yuan revived.


    Cloudneon opened her mouth and said coolly, ��How about now?��


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black, and he said, ��You��re dreaming!��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s soul body collapsed again!


    A moment later, Ye Yuan revived again.


    ��Then what about now?�� Cloudneon opened her mouth for the third time.


    ��Fine, I��m willing!�� Ye Yuan decided that a wise man should not fight when the odds were against him.


    Actually, Ye Yuan was compelled against his will.


    Because the instant that he merged into heaven and earth, he discovered that Cloudneon had glanced at him.


    Just this glance and Ye Yuan immediately decided to acknowledge her as master!


    Very clearly, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was not truly invincible!


    At least, this woman had the ability to kill him!


    This woman��s strength was unfathomable.


    Ye Yuan estimated that her strength was likely not beneath Eldest Senior Brother, Li Clearcloud.


    The so-called Hegemon Imperishable was just because his strength was too formidable; hence, nobody could kill him.


    How was there true imperishable in this world?


    However, this Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was clearly really very formidable and still had a lot of space for exploration.


    Acknowledging her as a master, everyone was happy.


    The only one who was sulking unhappily was Feng Rui.


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother, you have an Imperishable Soul Physique junior apprentice brother, shouldn��t you be happy?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Feng Rui ���� ����


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother, I��m someone who bears grudges a lot!��


    ���� ����


    Cloudneon ignored Ye Yuan and said to Eastsun, ��This time, Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall has rendered merit and will be rewarded one soul canon and three sets of mystic arts!��


    Eastsun and the rest were overjoyed, immediately bowing and saying, ��Many thanks, Lord Cloudneon!��


    Soul path records were extremely precious things in the outside world.


    Things that came out of Imperishable Soul Domain were naturally not ordinary.


    Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall had struck gold!


    �� ��


    Returning to the Imperishable Soul Domain, Feng Rui went into a closed-seclusion.


    Along the way with Ye Yuan, the scene was very awkward.


    This was an enormous palace complex, akin to the mortal world��s palaces.


    It was just that the scale and grandeur were more than a hundred times compared to the imperial palace.


    The Imperishable Soul Domain was the holy land of the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    Just like the Labyrinth Divine Palace and Blood God Temple, ordinary people were unable to discover its true location.


    This large region of space was clearly hewed open by Hegemon major powers with a great divine ability.


    After ordering attendants to leave, there were only Cloudneon and Ye Yuan two people left in the room.


    This ten-thousand-year-ice-like woman had peerlessly beautiful looks, but she gave people a feeling of keeping strangers at bay.


    ��Speak! What objective do you have for forcibly bringing me to the Imperishable Soul Domain?�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    His words did not hold the slightest respect for his master.


    Cloudneon��s face still did not have any fluctuations as she said lightly, ��You��re very smart.��


    Thinking about it, she added, ��Even smarter than Feng Rui.��


    Ye Yuan said disdainfully, ��You��re comparing me to a moron? You��re insulting me!��


    Cloudneon was indifferent and said coolly, ��He��s very smart.��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Just an idiot who only knows how to cultivate. Use your behind to think, and you��d also know that I��m waiting for him to posture. In the end, he really went to posture.��


    Cloudneon was speechless.


    I��m actually at a loss for a reply.


    She knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    Feng Rui was indeed a genius. It was just that he was completely focused on cultivation.


    This kind of people, unless they used strength to crush their opponents.


    Otherwise, they could only still be counting money for people after being sold by them.


    ��Alright, enough rubbish. I indeed need your help for something.�� A rare solemn expression appeared on Cloudneon��s face.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Go on. I��ve fallen into the devil��s claws now and can only be at your disposal.��


    Cloudneon was speechless again.


    She suddenly discovered that it was somewhat hard to communicate with this person.


    ��Progenitor Imperishable is missing!�� After a long time, Cloudneon suddenly revealed a piece of earth-shattering news.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What has Progenitor Imperishable going missing got to do with me? Wanting to worry, it should also be the business of you all, these origin powerhouses, right?��


    He had a smile on his face, but Ye Yuan��s heart was burning with anxiety.


    Because one of the soul race��s three great sacred artifacts, the Purple Ripple Umbrella, was in the hands of Hegemon Imperishable.


    This trip to the soul race was actually riddled with difficulties for Ye Yuan.


    It was just that he had to come.


    But who would have expected that even though he racked his brain to come here, what he obtained was actually such news?


    Hegemon Imperishable went missing. Didn��t that mean that the Purple Ripple Umbrella also went missing along with him?


    Cloudneon looked at Ye Yuan just like that and said coolly, ��I don��t care what purpose you came to the soul race for. As long as you can help this seat find Hegemon Imperishable, I can spare your life! Also, your fetters with your original body can��t be completely severed! Unless you forget your original self��s identity and start over!��


    Cloudneon said it calmly and collectedly. Coupled with that peerlessly beautiful face of her, it even gave people a feeling of gladdening the heart and pleasing to the eye.


    But Ye Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.


    Turns out that everything about him was seen through by this woman!


    Ye Yuan was firstly shocked, but later, he felt at ease too.


    If his guess was correct, what this woman cultivated was probably the soul race��s sacred canon too!


    Only a sacred canon on the same level could see through his actual situation.


    What she said was right. Ye Yuan cut off the bonds and transformed into a soul denizen.


    But that was not all.


    This soul clone still had to return to the main body in the end.


    If it was completely cut off, that would be another new life. It would no longer have any connections to his original self.

 Chapter 2940 - Imperishable Inheritance!

    ��Even major powers like you all couldn��t find him. So how can I, a mere True Sovereign Heaven, find him?�� Since he had already been exposed, Ye Yuan naturally could not be bothered to disguise anymore as well and said solemnly.


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��You don��t think too highly of yourself either. Although according to your performance your soul physique shouldn��t be inferior to Feng Rui, in my view, you��re still of the Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique. As for whether or not you can find him, this seat doesn��t know either. But, at least you all, these Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques, have more hope than us.��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard this, he understood.


    Those who were scouted by the Imperishable Soul Domain were clearly not just him with the Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique.


    Cloudneon, these soul race upper echelons, wanted to try whether or not they could establish a trace of connection with Hegemon Imperishable through the Imperishable Soul Physique, thus finding him.


    Therefore, Cloudneon, this kind of origin realm mighty expert, would personally move out and go to Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall to fetch him.


    He did not expect that the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique that he accidentally awakened actually had such an effect.


    It really saved a lot of trouble.


    Otherwise, even if he awakened a special soul physique, wanting to come into contact with these secrets was likely not a matter of one or two days either.


    ��Sure, but I have a condition,�� Ye Yuan said.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    ��You don��t have the qualifications to talk terms. If you don��t agree, this seat will kill you right now,�� Cloudneon said without the slightest emotion.


    Ye Yuan was speechless. This woman was really impervious to everything!


    This was putting it out there: I want to make use of you; you��d better let me take advantage of you properly.


    However, no matter how formidable Cloudneon was, she probably also did not expect that his goal was Hegemon Imperishable in the first place, right?


    At this point, he could only take things one step at a time.


    Suddenly, Cloudneon pointed a finger. Ye Yuan only felt a scorching power spreading throughout his whole body.


    His entire person became unable to move anymore.


    No idea how long had passed either, Cloudneon withdrew her finger and said coolly, ��I��ve already sealed your fetter. Unless Progenitor Imperishable is here, no one can see through you. Alright, you cultivate here. Tomorrow, we��ll set off and head to the Central Soul Region.��


    Finished saying, she left straight away.


    The Imperishable Soul Domain was huge. It was divided into east, south, west, north, and central, five great regions.


    These five great regions were the hubs of the outside world��s continent, each controlling a portion of a region.


    Ning Lan Nirvana Soul Hall was under the rule of the East Soul Region.


    Among the five great regions, there were constant disputes.


    But this time, in order to find Hegemon Imperishable, the five great regions had joined hands for the first time ever.


    �� ��


    In some mysterious space in the East Soul Region, the proud Cloudneon bowed to a big and tall man.


    ��Lord Wang Ning!��


    Wang Ning turned around and said with a smile, ��I heard that you accepted a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique as a disciple when you went out this time?��


    This kind of thing naturally could not be hidden.


    Cloudneon said, ��That��s right. This child is extremely talented and comparable to Feng Rui.��


    Wang Ning was rather surprised as he said, ��A Pseudo Imperishable Physique can actually be mentioned in the same breath with Feng Rui? Then this time ����


    Cloudneon nodded her head and said, ��There��s hope!��


    Wang Ning was overjoyed as he said, ��If you say so, then there��s really hope! Previously, there��s Progenitor Imperishable holding down the fort. The blood race didn��t dare to act rashly without careful consideration. But now, they are already eager to cause trouble! Cloudneon, do you think Progenitor Imperishable he ����


    Cloudneon��s eyes flickered slightly, and she said, ��Progenitor Imperishable should still be alive, but �� his situation is likely not very good. In this world, an existence capable of killing Progenitor Imperishable probably hasn��t been born yet!��


    Wang Ning nodded and said, ��I think so too! Then who do you think did this to Progenitor Imperishable?��


    Cloudneon said, ��It might be the blood race. It might also be the �� Qi Soul Clan, or �� they joined forces! If it��s the last case, then we �� have to be careful! But, if they want to trap Progenitor Imperishable, they will definitely pay a huge price too! So for the time being, we��re not in danger. But the night is long and fraught with dreams!��


    Wang Ning��s expression turned somber, and he said, ��You��re right. This matter can��t be dragged on anymore! This time, we have to find Progenitor Imperishable no matter what!��


    �� ��


    On the next day, Cloudneon brought a group of people and set out for the Central Soul Region.


    Only then did Ye Yuan know why Cloudneon and Feng Rui looked down on him so much.


    Similarly, Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, but there were actually as many as 37!


    Just one East Soul Region gathered so many Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques.


    Then, there would probably be over a hundred Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques in the entire Imperishable Soul Domain.


    So many Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques, reckon that the majority of them were all trash soul physiques.


    During normal times, these big shots probably did not even have interests in taking a look.


    But now, it was time to use them.


    Beside him, a youth in a white shirt asked rather excitedly, ��Heh, Brother, you��re of the Pseudo Imperishable Physique too?��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I��m not, I��m ����


    ��You��re the real Imperishable Soul Physique?�� The youth in white satirized to his face.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��How do you know what I was going to say?��


    The youth in white laughed loudly and said, ��Everyone here says that they are the real Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    The others also started laughing in succession.


    Ye Yuan was speechless and could not help doubting himself.


    Could it be that I��m really of the Pseudo Imperishable Physique?


    The youth in the white shirt said proudly, ��However, I��m different from you guys! The Imperishable Inheritance this time will definitely belong to me, Bai Cuishan! You all, these people, are merely accessories. That��s all!��


    ��Oh? How are you different from us?�� Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Bai Cuishan said proudly, ��Because I��ve met Progenitor Imperishable before and obtained his elderly self��s guidance before! The Imperishable Inheritance this time was actually opened up specifically for me by his elderly self! After I become Progenitor Imperishable��s disciple, I��ll definitely be able to step into the realm of Hegemon!��


    With this, everyone was no longer calm.


    Ye Yuan could not resist looking toward Cloudneon.


    But he discovered that Cloudneon had an indifferent look and did not show much.


    Clearly, she had already known about this a long time ago.


    It was just that what Ye Yuan found strange was that these people did not seem to know what opening up the Imperishable Inheritance was for.


    Ye Yuan understood this.


    After all, the matter of Hegemon Imperishable��s disappearance was a shocking event.


    Once the information was leaked, the Imperishable Soul Domain would sink into huge panic.


    But why did Cloudneon tell him?


    Could it be that in Cloudmount��s eyes, he had even higher hopes of obtaining the inheritance than Bai Cuishan?


    Bai Cuishan talked with a look of exultation. It turned out that he was a descendant of an East Soul Region��s major power. Several hundred years ago, Hegemon Imperishable came to find this major power and saw Bai Cuishan in passing.


    Seeing that he was of the Pseudo Imperishable Physique, he casually gave a few words of guidance.


    Being able to be advised by Hegemon Imperishable, Bai Cuishan was naturally not some amateur.


    If it was just a trash soul physique, Hegemon Imperishable definitely would not give pointers.


    Giving pointers would be a waste too.


    Sure enough, under Hegemon Imperishable��s guidance, Bai Cuishan��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Now, he was already an Emperor Realm powerhouse.


    The opening up of the Imperishable Inheritance this time, to these Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, they just said that it was in order to deal with the blood race��s invasion and that Hegemon Imperishable wanted to accept a disciple.


    Regarding the rest, these people did not know a thing.


    When Bai Cuishan finished talking, Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, ��So that��s how it is! Brother Bai is indeed formidable! Looks like this time, we��re really just playing supporting roles!��

 Chapter 2941 - Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell!

    ��I didn��t expect that this time, it��s actually Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon personally leading the team!��


    Before everyone landed, a young man who was far from being handsome came forward to greet, doing his utmost to please and woo.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes. Did you not have any idea what you look like?


    Sure enough, Cloudmount��s expression seemed to turn a few degrees colder as she said coldly, ��Brother Shan Yang, time is tight. Since everyone is here, let��s start right away!��


    Mountain goat1?


    Uh, this name is pretty good, matching the person.


    Didn��t this person look just like a mountain goat?


    When Mountain Goat saw that Cloudneon had an attitude of keeping people a thousand miles away, he could not help saying rather awkwardly, ��Haha, what Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon says is right. Then �� let��s begin?��


    The others also laughed secretly in their hearts. It was just that this Mountain Goat was an origin major power of the Central Soul Region. His strength was almost on par with Cloudneon. There was naturally no one who dared to laugh.


    The people leading the teams from the other three regions were all origin major powers too, coming forward to greet one after another.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    One could also tell from their attitudes that Cloudneon��s status in the Imperishable Soul Domain was extremely high!


    Ye Yuan swept a glance and discovered that the five great regions added up, the Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques actually had close to 200 people.


    With this, everything was clear.


    It was completely worthless!


    Mountain Goat led everyone and arrived under a glazed pagoda.


    This glazed pagoda had a total of seven floors, each level with a different color.


    2


    ��This Seven-Colored Pagoda is a chaos heavenly treasure! Back then, Progenitor Imperishable created it in order to search for a second Imperishable Physique. It��s just a pity that nobody could become the second Hegemon Imperishable! The Seven-Colored Pagoda has not been opened up for 100 thousand years already. This time, Hegemon Imperishable had a sudden impulse to accept a disciple. You all are also considered blessed people!�� Mountain Goat said.


    Hearing this, many people were extremely excited.


    It was as if Progenitor Imperishable��s disciple had already been decided to be them.


    However, Ye Yuan also saw a purpled-robed young man in the Central Soul Region��s team whose expression was very calm.


    Ye Yuan understood in his heart that this person had probably already known about Progenitor Imperishable.


    ��Progenitor Imperishable left a trace of Soul Dao origin inside! What you all have to do is to find it and fuse with this trace of origin! As long as someone fuses with the origin, they will be able to become Progenitor Imperishable��s disciple! Understood?�� Mountain Goat continued.


    ��Fusing origin! Doesn��t that mean that I��ll be an origin powerhouse in Emperor Cloud Heaven?��


    ��Progenitor Imperishable��s origin! This is a massive opportunity!��


    ��This Soul Dao origin is mine. Nobody is allowed to snatch from me!��


    �� ��


    As soon as they heard this, all the Pseudo Imperishable Physiques went crazy.


    This kind of massive opportunity was far too tempting for them.


    Ye Yuan could not resist rolling his eyes. These guys are also too naive, right?


    If this power of origin was so easy to fuse, would the Seven-Colored Pagoda still be here perfectly fine?


    Finished saying, Mountain Goat looked towards the purple-robed young man and said meaningfully, ��Wang Qian, Progenitor Imperishable has pinned high hopes on you! Entering the Seven-Colored Pagoda this time, you have to perform well!��


    The purple-robed young man bowed and said, ��Martial Uncle, rest assured. Wang Qian definitely won��t fail the mission?��


    Mountain Goat nodded with a slight smile, his goat face growing longer.


    When the Seven-Colored Pagoda opened up, Ye Yuan felt that his mist body seemed to have been ignited!


    Those Pseudo Imperishable Physiques rushed inside impatiently.


    Especially Bai Cuishan, he practically rushed inside with howls.


    Wang Qian gave Ye Yuan a glance and also walked in.


    Ye Yuan was just about to go, but then Cloudneon shouted, ��Ye Yuan!��


    Ye Yuan did not turn back and waved his hand and said, ��Alright, alright, so much crap! Relax, I want to find Progenitor Imperishable more than you!��


    Finished saying, he went straight into the Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the few big shots all changed drastically.


    This brat actually knew?


    ��Younger Sister Cloudneon! How can you leak the matter in advance?�� West Soul Region��s team, an old woman questioned.


    Cloudneon just said coolly, ��Doesn��t Wang Qian know too?��


    The old man said in a solemn voice, ��How is that the same? Wang Qian he��s Progenitor Imperishable��s lineage heir in the first place!��


    Cloudneon gave her a glance and said, ��If I said it, I said it, so what about it?��


    ��You!�� The old woman was angered until she billowed smoke from all seven orifices but was helpless to do anything.


    At this time, Mountain Goat came over to smooth things over, saying with a smile, ��Huhu, if it��s said, it��s said, there��s no big deal. Young Sister Cloudneon naturally won��t betray the ancestor. It��s just that �� Young Sister Cloudneon seems to be very optimistic about this kid!��


    Cloudneon nodded her head and said, ��If someone can really fuse with the origin, it can only be him!��


    But Mountain Goat smiled and said, ��Doesn��t Younger Sister Cloudneon know that before the progenitor went missing, he already had the intention of letting Wang Qian enter the Seven-Colored Pagoda? Where did this kid pop out from?��


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��If you don��t believe me, just wait and see!��


    But the old woman sneered and said, ��Do you think that only your East Soul Region can find geniuses? Our West Soul Region��s Zhou Yan similarly has the strength to fuse with the origin!��


    The other two chuckled, clearly quite confident in the people that they brought.


    �� ��


    Dong!


    In the first level space, a drumming sound suddenly came over.


    Ye Yuan only felt that his soul physique was shocked by this noise until it was about to collapse and dissipate.


    Far away, a miserable cry came over. Clearly, the soul body had already been scattered.


    ��Can��t even withstand the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell! Just based on your paltry skills and you also want to obtain the origin?�� A mocking voice came from behind Ye Yuan.


    Turning around to look, who could it be if not Wang Qian?


    Clearly, Wang Qian had also discovered him in the crowd.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��Since the Central Soul Region called everyone over, it shows that their confidence in you is still lacking, isn��t that so?��


    Wang Qian��s pupils constricted, and he said in a cold voice, ��You��re courting death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you feel that you can kill me, you can come and try.��


    This Wang Qian was merely a lower Emperor Cloud Heaven too.


    It was simply impossible to kill him.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan did not take him seriously either.


    Wang Qian��s gaze turned cold, and he said with a cold smile, ��Don��t need me to take action. You can��t even withstand the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell. You��ll be wiped out by the Seven-Colored Pagoda very soon!��


    Dong!


    Right at this time, another drumming sound occurred.


    This sound seemingly wanted to enter people��s bone marrows.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body actually started to show signs of dissipation under this drumming.


    Wang Qian��s soul body was clearly much stronger. He was not affected at all.


    He looked at Ye Yuan, snickering to no end.


    ��Huhu, a toad wanting to eat swan meat; it��s talking about you, right? Savor the taste of the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell well!�� As he said these words, Wang Qian leaped and disappeared.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly, seemingly pondering about something.


    Not far away, many people were directly scattered under this Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell.


    However, the Pseudo Imperishable Physique was an Imperishable Physique too. They recovered back to new very quickly.


    It was just that their soul bodies did not seem to be as condensed as before anymore.


    This made Ye Yuan certain that the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell could kill people!


    But this was clearly a land of inheritance. Why did it want to kill people?

 Chapter 2942 - Cutting of All Means of Retreat!

    Dong!


    Ahead, a Pseudo Imperishable Physique directly exploded.


    Then he stopped reviving as well.


    He turned to ashes!


    Many people started panicking.


    Wang Qian looked at the panic on people��s faces, his face full of a ridiculing expression.


    A bunch of ant-like things also had wishful thinking about finding the origin!


    Even if it was given to you, can you fuse with it?


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, discovering that several people were still searching around.


    ��Mn? If I didn��t remember wrongly, that��s Great Emperor Whiteshadow��s grandson, Bai Cuishan, right? This kid had a great lucky chance too to obtain Progenitor Imperishable��s guidance. Furthermore, his strength isn��t weak!�� Wang Qian muttered to himself.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Dong!


    Another drumbeat!


    This time, many Pseudo Imperishable Physiques directly turned to ashes!


    Wang Qian felt that his soul body also became a bit uncomfortable.


    He knew that the effect of this drumming sound was each blow being stronger than the last.


    If he stayed for a long time, it would cause tremendous damage to his soul body!


    They all, these Imperishable Soul Physiques, were not truly imperishable.


    ��Mn?��


    At this time, he saw someone from the peripherals of his eyes.


    Ye Yuan!


    Following this drumbeat, Ye Yuan��s soul body directly collapsed!


    But very soon, Ye Yuan recovered his soul body again.


    It was just that this time, it was clearly much dimmer than the last time!


    A hint of a smile showed at the corners of Wang Qian��s mouth. His figure moved, arriving before Ye Yuan, and he said with a look of amusement, ��It��s just the seventh drumbeat, and you already can��t hold on? Nine drums, seven bells, each claiming lives! Kid, you have to take care!��


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes narrowed, and he said coolly, ��Relax, even if you die, I won��t die too!��


    Wang Qian snickered and said, ��Still being stubborn on your deathbed! Relax, I��ll keep on paying attention to you!��


    Finished saying, Wang Qian laughed loudly and left.


    Bai Cuishan also discovered that Ye Yuan was scattering even more. He came over to urge, saying, ��Ye Yuan, stop forcing it. You��ll die! Give up!��


    ��I give up!��


    ��I give up!��


    ��I can��t take it anymore! I give up!��


    �� ��


    Right at this time, many people around started to howl loudly.


    Before entering, the team leaders told them and as long as they shouted ��I give up,�� these three words, to the sky, they would be automatically transported out.


    However, they did not!


    For a time, alarm and fear spread!


    ��Why! Why am I still here! I gave up already!��


    ��Hurry up and transport me out! I �� I��m going to die!��


    ��I don��t want to die! I give up! I give up! I give up!��


    �� ��


    Many people��s yells carried sobs.


    But they discovered to their dismay that no matter how they yelled, there were no movements.


    Dong!


    With another drumbeat, many Pseudo Imperishable Physiques directly died.


    This time, they finally discovered that they could not go out anymore!


    ��Liars! You bunch of liars! I won��t let you all off even if I become a ghost! Sniff, sniff ���� Many people started cursing.


    Even Wang Qian��s expression changed drastically too.


    What ruthless means!


    This was forcing them all, these people, toward death!


    Very clearly, those people outside had long already made a decision.


    If they were unable to fuse with the origin, then there was no need to go out anymore!


    This was not some inheritance. This was a salvation that had to succeed!


    If they were unable to fuse with the origin, they would not be able to find Hegemon Imperishable. Then what was the use of them, these Pseudo Imperishable Physique powerhouses?


    Of course, this also meant cutting off all means of retreat.


    Cutting off their paths of survival, squeezing out all of their potential to search for the origin and fusing with the origin!


    Wang Qian��s gaze turned intent, and he roared angrily, ��All shut up for me!��


    He was extremely strong. With this roar, it made everyone quieten down at once.


    Everyone carried extremely terrified expressions, looking toward Wang Qian.


    Wang Qian��s gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a cold voice, ��You all don��t need to harbor fantasies anymore! Only one person among us can go out! Only by finding the origin and fusing with it can one walk out of here! Crying and yelling here is useless! Go and find the origin! Only by finding the origin can you survive!��


    A word woke up the dreamer!


    Everyone suddenly came to a realization!


    Yeah, as long as they found the origin, they would be able to live!


    Hence, everyone became incomparably frenzied.


    Bai Cuishan also came to a realization and hurriedly said to Ye Yuan, ��Go! Hurry up and find the origin; otherwise, we��ll all have to die!��


    ��This place is the land of inheritance. Why is there such a Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell?�� Ye Yuan did not leave. He muttered under his breath.


    Bai Cuishan got anxious and said, ��My God, you��re still in the mood to say this? A breath late and you��ll be dead!��


    But Ye Yuan ignored him and murmured to himself, ��What��s the benefit in killing people? This first level is stark empty. There��s nothing at all. Is it just for the sake of killing people? That��s not right! This Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell is fishy!��


    ��Goodness, what can be fishy?! Hurry up and go find the origin!�� Bai Cuishan really panicked.


    However, this guy was loyal to his friends. Seeing that Ye Yuan was in a daze, he did not leave.


    At this time, a hint of a smile flashed across the corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth, and he actually sat down on the spot.


    Bai Cuishan was stupefied and said anxiously, ��Goodness me, what are you doing here! If we can��t find the origin, we��ll all have to die!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, ��Brother Bai, you go and search for it. I��m not searching anymore!��


    Bai Cuishan could not do anything about it and stomped his feet hard as he said, ��My word! You weirdo! I��m going!��


    Dong!


    The ninth drumbeat sounded out, and Ye Yuan��s soul body directly collapsed!


    When he recovered again, his soul body became even dimmer.


    Wang Qian saw Ye Yuan because he was too eyecatching.


    Hence, he came over and said in a cold voice, ��Other people are all searching for the origin. What are you doing?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him but savored the drumbeat earlier in detail, as well as the feeling of the soul body collapsing.


    Wang Qian��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��Go and search for the origin for me now! Otherwise, I��ll kill you now!��


    Ye Yuan still ignored him!


    Boom!


    Wang Qian did not hesitate in the slightest, directly striking with a terrifying palm.


    His strength was significantly stronger than Feng Rui.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body was directly disintegrated by him.


    But very soon, Ye Yuan recovered again.


    Imperishable Soul Physique, even if it was a Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique, it was not that easy to be killed either.


    Furthermore, being killed by him did not pose the slightest threat to Ye Yuan.


    What was truly threatening was the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell!


    Ye Yuan felt it. What this Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell destroyed was not just his soul body; it was even his consciousness!


    This was also to say that, in the end, even he would not be able to revive anymore!


    Wang Qian��s gaze turned intent, and he said in a chilly voice, ��Damn thing, really think that I can��t kill you?��


    Hence, he released his aura fully. A terrifying soul force crept out in the air.


    Dong!


    Right at this time, the first bell ring sounded.


    Wang Qian gave a muffled groan. That horrifying soul force directly crumbled under this bell ring!


    Of course, Ye Yuan��s soul body also collapsed again.


    The power of this bell ring was several times that of the drumbeat!


    This many, even more people died!


    ��Rather than wasting time with me here, it is better to hurry up and find the origin. Otherwise, you��ll die too,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Wang Qian��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    However, he knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    If they can��t find the origin, he would have to die too!


    Wang Qian gritted his teeth and flew away!

 Chapter 2943 - Just Lower Your Head and Admit Your Mistake!

    ��Are we being too vicious by doing so?�� said a white-haired old man. He was North Soul Region��s Great Emperor Ming Jian.


    The old woman snorted coldly and said, ��What��s wrong? Just a bunch of Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques, being able to die for Progenitor, that��s their honor! Moreover, whoever obtains the Soul Dao origin, that will be their massive lucky chance! They can��t even wait to thank us!��


    Mountain Goat also laughed and said, ��If people don��t force themselves, they really won��t know how great their potential is at times. Under a hopeless situation, they will be able to make a difference! They definitely won��t be able to resolve their minds, so we can only help them. Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon, don��t you think so?��


    Cloudmount was silen. Mountain Goat��s laughter seemed slightly awkward, and he was also quite angry in his heart.


    Sealing the Seven-Colored Pagoda was agreed upon by the five great regions a long time ago.


    In order to find Hegemon Imperishable, what did a few mere Pseudo Imperishable Physiques count for?


    Suddenly, a hint of a sneer flashed across the old lady��s face as she said, ��Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon, this is the boy that you spoke of? It��s just the seventh drumbeat, and his soul body already can��t hold up anymore!��


    Cloudneon still did not speak, as if she had heard nothing.


    The old woman felt like her punch landed on cotton; very depressing.


    The old woman did not care whether or not Cloudneon responded and still said sarcastically, ��Nine drum beats, seven bell rings, this kid probably can��t even make it through the first round! Just this and he still wants to fuse with the origin? What a joke!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Great Emperor Ming Jian also smiled and said, ��This time, Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon has probably made an error of judgment! This kid is indeed rotten mud that can��t hold up a wall!��


    Being so highly regarded by Cloudneon, the others were also full of expectations for him.


    But who would have expected that Ye Yuan was a pewter spearhead that shone silver, impressive looking but useless.


    Forget about Wang Qian; even compared to Bai Cuishan, who was similarly from the East Soul Region, he was far too lacking as well.


    Mountain Goat smiled and said, ��Although it was being forced to, finding the five great regions�� Pseudo Imperishable Physiques was just to make provisions for contingencies. But actually, the one who��s most suitable to fuse with the origin is none other than Wang Qian.��


    The old lady smiled coldly and said, ��Shan Yang, I, this old lady, don��t like to hear these words! Our West Soul Region��s Zuo Leng isn��t inferior to Wang Qian!��


    �� ��


    Dong!


    The third round; the third bell ring sounded!


    Wang Qian��s soul body immediately scattered at the sound of it!


    They all, these top powerhouses, already could not bear it anymore.


    Some of these Pseudo Imperishable Physiques were powerful and had even reached Emperor Vast Heaven already.


    However, the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell��s effect on each person was different.


    If you were Emperor Vast Heaven, it would give you the power of Emperor Vast Heaven.


    If you were True Sovereign Heaven, it would give you the power of True Sovereign Heaven.


    Therefore, the longer you last, it showed that the Pseudo Imperishable Physique was stronger.


    For Wang Qian to be able to last until now, it was already very difficult.


    There were fewer and fewer figures around him.


    They should have long died out.


    ��Damn it! Where on earth is the origin! If the origin can��t be found, this Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell will get stronger and stronger, all the way until it kills us all!�� Wang Qian became somewhat anxious.


    The Seven-Colored Pagoda was divided into a total of seven levels. Each level would have an origin fragment.


    Only by finding seven origin fragments could one attempt to fuse with the origin.


    But this first level was already so difficult.


    His expression was ugly to the extreme.


    The first level space was not considered big. With over a hundred of them, they already dug three feet into the ground of the first level.


    However, they did not discover traces of the origin fragment.


    This drove everyone virtually crazy.


    ��My soul body has already collapsed. That punk called Ye Yuan has already had his soul disintegrated now, right?��


    Wang Qian remembered Ye Yuan at the behest of supernatural powers and could not resist returning to find Ye Yuan.


    He discovered that Ye Yuan was indeed no longer in the same place.


    Sure enough, he was already dead!


    Inexplicably, a hint of delight flashed across in Wang Qian��s heart.


    But very soon, he started smiling bitterly.


    What am I competing with a dead man who? Soon, I��ll become a dead man too!


    Sure enough, the origin that Progenitor Imperishable left behind was not so easy to find!


    Sorry, Progenitor Imperishable. Wang Qian is incompetent and can��t find you!


    ��Eh, Brother Wang, why are you still hanging around here? I see that your soul body is about to collapse. If you still don��t go and find Master Ye, you probably can��t last much longer!�� At this time, a voice sounded out behind Wang Qian.


    Wang Qian turned around. He knew this person. He was also of the Central Soul Region called Ceng Yu. His strength was very average.


    Seeing Ceng Yu, he could not help being taken aback and said, ��Ceng Yu? You �� You��re actually not dead yet?��


    In his view, Ceng Yu should have died long ago.


    Ceng Yu chuckled and said, ��I also thought that I was going to die. It is thanks to Master Ye; otherwise, with my bit of strength, I would really have long died.��


    Wang Qian was taken aback and said, ��M-Master Ye? Who��s Master Ye? Eh, your soul body ����


    He discovered to his surprise that Ceng Yu��s soul body became extremely solid!


    It was even more solid than when he just entered.


    Logically speaking, the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell had already sounded for three rounds. Even if he was not dead yet, his soul body should also have been overwhelmed a long time ago!


    ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    Ceng Yu smiled radiantly and said, ��Oh, Master Ye is East Soul Region��s Ye Yuan! It��s he who comprehended the profound meaning of the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell and imparted the method to train the Imperishable Soul Physique to us. That��s how we escaped the calamity! Otherwise, we, all these people, would be dead for sure in the first level!��


    Wang Qian��s eyes became wide saucers, and he looked at Ceng Yu in disbelief as he said in shock, ��You��re saying, using the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell �� to train the Imperishable Soul Physique? This �� How is this possible?��


    Ceng Yu smiled and said, ��Yeah. Originally, I also felt that it was impossible. But Master Ye said that since Progenitor Imperishable left behind the inheritance, it��s definitely not to kill people but to let the Imperishable Soul Physique become stronger! The Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell sounds formidable, but it actually secretly contains an extremely profound technique. As long as you find the method, you��ll be able to make the Imperishable Soul Physique become even stronger! You look at me now. Is my soul body much more solid than before?��


    Tumultuous waves had long already set off in Wang Qian��s heart.


    It was still his first time hearing that the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell still had such a version.


    His first reaction was that he felt that it was ridiculous.


    But Ceng Yu��s soul body was indeed more solid than before.


    Dong!


    Right at this time, another bell rang!


    Wang Qian only felt that his soul body was about to be shocked into a pile of loose sand!


    After expending a Herculean effort, Wang Qian finally re-condensed his soul body.


    But, the moment he looked at Ceng Yu, he became completely dumbfounded.


    Ceng Yu��s soul body was scattered too.


    In fact, it was scattered even more thoroughly than him!


    That mass of misty air was already so thin and one virtually could not see it anymore.


    But very soon, Ceng Yu��s soul body condensed again.


    Furthermore, it became even more solid than just now!


    Ceng Yu looked at Wang Qian with a sympathetic look and said, ��Brother Wang, Master Ye is currently in the northwest direction, preaching Dao to everyone. You hurry over! I know that you have some conflict with Master Ye. Just lower your head and admit your mistake. Master Ye is magnanimous and won��t haggle over it with you! With how your soul body is, at most two or three bell rings, you��ll probably disintegrate! My skills are poor, and I don��t dare to casually impart it. You��d better listen to Master Ye personally expound on Dao. Alright, not talking anymore. I still have to go and search for the origin fragment. I��ll be leaving first.��


    Finished speaking, he left behind the panic looking Wang Qian and turned around and left.

 Chapter 2944 - How Shameful!

    Wang Qian��s heart was in turmoil!


    To go was not a solution.


    To not go was also not a solution.


    He thought that there were fewer and fewer people, and they all died.


    Who knew that they all went to listen to Ye Yuan preach on Dao!


    This Ceng Yu was originally just an ant-like existence in his eyes.


    But now, looking at the appearance of his soul body, it was actually even more solid than his!


    This was too demoralizing.


    But his pride did not allow him to bow his head to Ye Yuan.


    Suddenly, his gaze turned intent, and he said with a cold smile, ��Even a group of ants can comprehend the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell. I��m from the Central Soul Region. As someone who��s regarded highly by Progenitor Imperishable, can��t I comprehend it? Without a butcher, there isn��t pork or meat anymore?��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Getting to work at once, Wang Qian sat down, diligently feeling each time his soul body collapsed previously.


    Dong!


    The Daybreak Bell sounded again, Wang Qian��s soul body was disintegrated again.


    This time, it became a little harder for him to condense his soul body.


    But he did not believe in heresy!


    Time slowly trickled by, and Wang Qian finally tided over another round of Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell.


    His soul body was already dim to the extreme.


    However, he did not have any comprehension.


    The Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell was still the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell!


    Each drumbeat was killing him!


    Wang Qian despaired!


    It seemed like he really could not eat pork.


    ��Why? Why can Ye Yuan do it, but I can��t?�� Wang Qian cried out in despair.


    No way!


    I can��t die here!


    He used all the strength in his body and sped toward the northwest direction desperately.


    �� ��


    When the dead dog-like Wang Qian appeared in front of Ye Yuan, he was still quite surprised.


    He still thought that Wang Qian would rather break than bend and not come and look for him even if he died under the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell.


    ��S-Save me!��


    When he yelled this sentence out, Wang Qian felt so ashamed!


    Feeling the strange gazes around him, he only felt his face burn fiery hot.


    He wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Someone as proud as him, how did he become like a dog, wagging his tail in front of the enemy and begging for mercy.


    This kind of scene should have been reversed in his understanding.


    But now, it was him who was begging in front of Ye Yuan for his charity!


    However, he was really going to die!


    On the way over, he suffered another two drumbeats.


    His life was already really tough to actually forcefully pull through.


    ��Ye Yuan, s-save me!�� Wang Qian cried out in shame.


    Ye Yuan smiled and slowly opened his mouth, with words droning out of his mouth.


    Dozens of people had already gathered around Ye Yuan. They were all listening to Ye Yuan preach on Dao.


    There was also another group of people who already stopped comprehending and went to search for the origin on their own.


    The others could not care about Wang Qian��s embarrassment, listening attentively one after another.


    Wang Qian perked his spirit up fully, listening attentively to each word that Ye Yuan said.


    All of a sudden, his entire body trembled!


    It turned out that the Imperishable Soul Physique could still be understood like this?


    The Imperishable Soul Physique was not immortal and imperishable.


    This Imperishable Soul Physique needed to be tempered too!


    The Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell was used to temper the misty air, making it become even more unassailable!


    And this method of tempering also broadened Wang Qian��s horizons.


    So that��s how it was!


    So that��s how it was!


    Why did I not think of that?


    This �� This was not difficult!


    This guy must have accidentally stumbled across it!


    1


    The matters in the world were actually often not profound.


    Just a little bit and it would be clear.


    However, it was often this little bit that was the hardest.


    Wang Qian was very clear about it; his comprehension ability was very high. But he did not have the ability to see through this point.


    However, when others pointed it out, he did not feel that others were very impressive. He just felt that others were lucky. That was all.


    He had never thought about it before this. It was not the first time that someone had entered this Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    During these countless years, countless people had entered before, but no one could see through this.


    Just this and Ye Yuan was stronger than countless people!


    He, Wang Qian, was also merely one of these countless people.


    Hence, his soul body strengthened once more.


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s soul body had already become extremely solid.


    When the Daybreak Bell sounded again, Ye Yuan��s soul body stood firm like a mountain, without the slightest sign of collapse.


    In fact, not even a trace of misty air formed.


    Suddenly, the space shook.


    A spatial door appeared in front of everyone!


    ��It��s the door leading to the second floor!��


    ��Mn? That��s ����


    ��Origin fragment! Turns out that as long as one reaches grand completion Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique under the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell, the origin fragment will appear!��


    �� ��


    At this time, a glass fragment shaped object appeared in front of Ye Yuan. It was brightly colored.


    This piece of glass fragment belonged to him!


    Many people��s eyes turned red.


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either, putting away the origin fragment with a smile.


    ��Alright, the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell has passed. We can enter the second level! Of course, those who want to continue cultivating can still continue to stay in the first level.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan stepped right into the door of the second floor.


    Everyone exchanged glances.


    However, very soon, someone rushed into the second level after him.


    At this time, Wang Qian��s soul body had already pretty much been restored.


    In fact, it was even stronger than before!


    He immediately rushed into the second level without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Humph! The Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell is merely thus. In the second round, I absolutely won��t lose to Ye Yuan!�� Wang Qian said with disdain in his heart.


    Bai Cuishan��s soul body had not reached the realm of grand completion yet.


    He thought about it and still stayed behind.


    There were also a few who similarly stayed behind, but there were not many.


    �� ��


    ��Ah! What a terrifying sea of fire! Is this round the legendary Rebirth in Fire?��


    ��The first round was the inheritance that tempers the soul body. Then, what is this round��s inheritance?��


    ��Not good! My soul body is clearly already much stronger, but it still can��t withstand the power of this fire sea!��


    �� ��


    As soon as they entered the second round, many people felt that their soul body was about to collapse.


    Their soul body had already been greatly strengthened in the first level, but it still could not resist the power of this flame.


    Ye Yuan��s soul body was much stronger than theirs. He did not feel anything.


    However, he fell into contemplation again very quickly.


    What was this second round��s inheritance?


    When he was in the Nirvana Soul Hall, he had once entered the Soul Refining Furnace and felt the tempering of Dao fire before.


    Could it be that this round was to continue tempering in this flame?


    It was just that when Ye Yuan thought of this, the others clearly thought of the same thing too.


    ��Heh, I understand! Even if it��s the Imperishable, it also needs to experience continuous tempering! Only when myriad Great Dao can��t even refine your soul body can that be called Imperishable Soul Physique! Progenitor Imperishable must have already reached that realm! Since that��s the case, let��s do it!��


    Wang Qian swept away the decadence of the first round and smiled confidently, his body turning into mist, soaking in the flames.


    Immediately, he felt endless scorching.


    A muffled ground came out of the misty air.


    Clearly, the current Wang Qian was in great agony.


    However, he did not care. He carefully felt this scorching, wanting to make use of this grilling to let the soul body become stronger.


    Ye Yuan��s face revealed a pondering look.


    Is it really like this?

 Chapter 2945 - Hallucination?

    ��N-Not good, my soul body �� my soul body can��t hold on anymore! Argh ����


    ��S-So hot! I �� I can��t do it anymore as well!��


    ��My soul body is clearly already very strong, but why can��t I hold on?��


    �� ��


    With the passage of time, many people started to crumble.


    The temperature of the fire sea seemed to be getting higher and higher.


    Their misty air was evaporating bit by bit, becoming faded.


    Finally, it turned into nothingness.


    Originally, they thought that by relying on Ye Yuan��s teachings in the first round, a powerful soul body was sufficient to survive.


    But they had clearly miscalculated.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Wang Qian was no exception either.


    Feeling the burning sensation coming from his Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, Wang Qian had a feeling of getting slapped in the face.


    He attempted to use this powerful fire sea to temper the soul body.


    But it was useless!


    His soul body was still being weakened little by little.


    Ye Yuan was not far away from him. Within his sight, he could see that Ye Yuan was still frowning and contemplating, and he did not turn into mist form either.


    But all of a sudden, Ye Yuan��s figure moved, turning into a cloud of misty air.


    When Wang Qian saw, he could not help scoffing as he said, ��Huhu, pretending to be profound! Do you really think that you��re so lucky every time? In the first round, you were merely lucky, that��s all! In this second round, you��ve pondered for half a day. Isn��t it still this move? What��s the difference compared to us?��


    Wang Qian already understood that regarding this Seven-Colored Pagoda, the thing inherited was different in each round.


    But, as for the specifics of the inheritance, it required one to fumble themselves.


    He knew that he had not found the way yet.


    And Ye Yuan likewise had not found the way.


    The first round, it was merely accidentally stumbled upon by him, that was all.


    ��Yeowch, so hot! I feel that my soul body is almost vaporizing! Ye Yuan, have you found the method to crack this round? I, Old Bai, will learn from you!�� Bai Cuishan��s strange cry transmitted over.


    Wang Qian��s face turned black. Did this fellow want face or not?


    ��Bai Cuishan! You��re also a genius who had been guided by Progenitor before. You��ll follow behind others to hitch a ride?�� Wang Qian said in a cold voice.


    Bai Cuishan gave Wang Qian a glance and suddenly put on a weak state as he said, ��S-Save me! Ye Yuan, s-save me!��


    The moment Wang Qian saw, his face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot.


    Wasn��t this appearance precisely his tail-wagging appearance when he was begging in the first round?


    This was his lifetime humiliation!


    Bai Cuishan, this guy, actually rubbed salt on his wound!


    ��Tch, who was it that pestered Ye Yuan incessantly in the first round? Why? Forgot everything in a blink of an eye?�� Bai Cuishan said with a disdainful look.


    Wang Qian��s eyes spewed fire as he roared angrily, ��Bai Cuishan! Today, if I, Wang Qian, don��t kill you, I swear that I��m lesser than human!��


    Wang Qian had completely exploded!


    He ignored his rapidly depleting soul force currently, pouncing over toward Bai Cuishan frenziedly.


    Bai Cuishan jumped in fright too.


    His strength was naturally far below that of Wang Qian.


    For Wang Qian to be able to be thought highly of by the Central Soul Region, he was naturally not an ordinary genius.


    The moment he went crazy, Bai Cuishan felt the pressure coming like it could topple mountains and overturn the seas.


    Boom!


    In an instant, the two people exchanged blows.


    Wang Qian gave a muffled groan, flying out backward.


    Bai Cuishan looked at his own palm somewhat disbelievingly, his face looking confused.


    ��Eh, why did I become so powerful?�� Bai Cuishan said with an innocent look.


    ��Heh, does Brother Bai really not know? Or are you feigning ignorance? Although your soul body isn��t as perfect as Master Ye, you stand out among us too! While Wang Qian��s soul body has been roasting in this round for a long time, he��s long already an arrow at the end of its flight. At this time, how could he be your match?�� Beside him, someone who entered together with Bai Cuishan explained.


    The moment Bai Cuishan heard, he came to a sudden realization and said, ��So that��s how it is! Tsk tsk, along the way here, I was still saying that I��ll protect Ye Yuan. In the end, when we entered here, it��s all Ye Yuan who��s covering me. Hahahaha! Ye Yuan, have you cracked this round or not? I, Old Bai, am already too hungry to wait!��


    Over at the other side, Wang Qian almost wanted to vomit blood.


    When did Bai Cuishan become so strong?


    He naturally knew that his condition was not good.


    But he touched his own heart and felt that there was still no problem in dealing with Bai Cuishan.


    Who knew that he could not even block a move from him!


    This showed that Bai Cuishan already made great progress by tempering his body with the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell in the first round.


    Was the gap actually so big?


    He entered the second level in order to snatch the origin fragment.


    Who knew that Bai Cuishan actually already grew to this point in the first level!


    He suddenly discovered that he seemed to have missed something.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan caught on fire!


    His misty air actually combusted in the fire sea.


    When Wang Qian saw this scene, he was overjoyed!


    ��Hahaha, what did I say? He was simply a blind cat bumping into a dead rat in the first round. It was completely luck! In this round, he revealed his true colors, right? Burn! Burn away! Best that he burns to ashes!��


    At this time, Wang Qian had indescribable delight in his heart.


    He would rather die here than be willing to see Ye Yuan continue to be impressive.


    In front of Ye Yuan, his humiliation could no longer be cleansed.


    The expressions of Bai Cuishan and the rest also instantly became solemn.


    ��This �� What��s going on here? Ye Yuan, are �� are you alright?�� Bai Cuishan said worriedly.


    ��Master Ye! Don��t scare us!��


    ��It��s over. It��s over! In this round, even Master Ye has succumbed! Looks like we��re all dead for sure this time!��


    �� ��


    Many people already saw Ye Yuan burn up.


    Holding on in the fire sea until now, their soul bodies already almost could not bear it anymore.


    The only hope was Ye Yuan.


    But who knew that Ye Yuan himself also could not make it anymore.


    With this, it was over!


    ��Heh, reckless and blind thing! This Seven-Colored Pagoda has been placed here for how many years? Nobody can make it through the seven levels at all to collect all of the origin fragments! Just the likes of you also want to flip the heavens?�� Wang Qian said with a loud laugh.


    Many people shot angry gazes at him.


    But anger was useless too.


    Ye Yuan looked like he was about to die.


    Ye Yuan��s misty air was currently burning, already almost merging into one with the surrounding flames.


    When the misty air completely disappeared, Ye Yuan would also be equivalent to being gone.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s misty air was currently becoming the fire sea bit by bit.


    The people started to despair.


    In fact, Ye Yuan did not even resist at all inside.


    Wang Qian felt very delighted and even had the satisfaction of having taken revenge.


    Watching Ye Yuan die in front of him was also a kind of enjoyment, was it not?


    Finally, Ye Yuan��s misty gas completely disappeared.


    The place where he originally was already completely turned into a stretch of fire sea, completely fusing into one with the fire sea in this second level space.


    ��Heh, dead! Finally dead! So what if he solved the Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell and acquired the origin fragment? Aren��t you still going to die here all the same? Hahaha ���� Wang Qian said with a loud laugh.


    Everyone��s expressions became gloomy. Their last trace of hope was also dashed.


    But right at this time, a figure suddenly condensed and formed, appearing in the fire sea.


    Wang Qian was taken aback, rubbing his eyes hard.


    Was his eyesight failing?


    Did his hatred already make him hallucinate?


    Was not that �� Ye Yuan?

 Chapter 2946 - Have No Sense of Shame in Order to Live!

    ��Is �� Is it Ye Yuan? He actually didn��t die?��


    ��Could it be that my eyesight is failing? He had clearly already been burned completely just now!��


    ��Hang on. He really didn��t die! He might have �� comprehended!��


    �� ��


    The last sentence was said by Bai Cuishan.


    With the experience of the first level, Bai Cuishan felt that it was very likely that Ye Yuan had comprehended it again!


    Ye Yuan��s resurrection from the dead might have a lot to do with this level��s inheritance!


    In the fire sea, Ye Yuan��s gaze looked over leisurely. Wang Qian could not help shuddering.


    Just now, his voice was the loudest!


    It was like if Ye Yuan died, he could directly enter Hegemon.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    But now, he could not laugh anymore.


    ��You hope for me to die so much, then if I can solve the stage now, do you want to listen to my preaching on Dao?�� Ye Yuan looked toward Wang Qian and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Wang Qian seemed like a duck who had its neck being pinched. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.


    Yeah, do I listen or not?


    To listen or not?


    Listen, he could live, but his face would be gone.


    Not listening, he would be dead for sure, and his face �� looked like it would be gone too.


    How shameful!


    Why would such emotions appear time and again?


    ��How impressive is Wang Qian! He can comprehend Dao on his own. Why would he need to listen to Master Ye preach on Dao?��


    ��Right, right! Master Ye comprehending Dao, that��s a blind cat bumping into a dead rat too. It��s not a big deal. Great Master Wang doesn��t need it at all.��


    ��What did he say? Master Ye just got lucky and isn��t fit to be mentioned in the same breath with him, Wang Qian. How can this little thing that Master Ye comprehended enter his, Wang Qian��s sights?��


    �� ��


    Wang Qian was ashamed and resentful until he wanted to die.


    He discovered that he seemed to have already become the common target for scorn.


    Earlier, he seemed to have been too carried away, resulting in offending everyone.


    Now, the outside world had sealed off the Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    Everyone��s biggest wish was actually just to survive.


    As for the origin fragment, it became secondary.


    But he was burning with jealousy earlier and completely did not think things through before saying it. With this, it really incurred public wrath.


    What these people were saying, they directly blocked off all of his paths of retreat!


    So awkward!


    But over here, Bai Cuishan could not wait any longer, running next to Ye Yuan.Urging Ye Yuan, he said, ��Ye Yuan, quickly say, quickly say! What the hell is with this damn place? I feel like I��m about to be roasted!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I think I already understand the meaning of the Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    Bai Cuishan was taken aback and said in a daze, ��What meaning can the Imperishable Soul Physique have? Of course, it means being unable to be killed!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, ��How can there be an unkillable person in this world? Although Hegemon Realm powerhouses have transcended Heavenly Stratum, they will die too! The Imperishable Soul Physique isn��t unkillable! We all have been misled by this name!��


    Everyone listened attentively, feeling an upsurge of emotion.


    They felt that they seemed to be about to hear a massive secret.


    Even Wang Qian also could not resist perking his ears up.


    Meanwhile, many people cast disdainful gazes towards him.


    Wang Qian discovered that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of chasing him away.


    Hence, he was not going anywhere.


    In order to live, throw away his face!


    Either way, his face had been utterly lost too!


    Wang Qian suddenly felt the delight of liberation in his heart.


    Sure enough, as that saying went: a shameless person was invincible!


    Mn, the feeling of shamelessness is really great!


    It is as if the air here is teeming with freshness.


    ��The misty gas is born from chaos, so the soul physique that we awakened is actually a physique of chaos too! It��s the same logic as those super powerhouses born in chaos and being extremely powerful! But we��re different from them.��


    ��Doesn��t that mean that we also have the potential to become Hegemons?�� Someone could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Of course! Furthermore, we have a greater advantage than them!��


    After pausing for a bit, Ye Yuan continued, ��Those powerhouses were molded by chaos and only inherited a certain aspect of chaos. But the misty gas is shapeless and immaterial. It can develop all life in the world! You can be a powerful thunderbolt! You can be the vast earth! You can also be an apocalyptic fire!��


    ��Just like this level, Progenitor Imperishable actually wants to tell us how to turn into heaven and earth fire with the misty gas and burn all things! I think that if this move is cultivated to the extreme, it should be able to pry into origin and be like Hegemon Flamegod, turning all to ashes with a wave of his hand!��


    Hegemon Flamegod was a powerful Hegemon whose reputation shook the heavens.


    He controlled the fire of all words. His attack techniques were unparalleled under the heavens. Even if ordinary Hegemons encountered him, they would be filled with deep terror too!


    When many people heard it, they could not resist feeling an upsurge of emotion.


    Even thinking about it, they felt impressive too!


    But Wang Qian laughed coldly and said, ��According to what you say, if we all, these Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, were to cultivate to the extreme, wouldn��t all the Hegemons be unable to beat us when added up too?��


    The moment he spoke, there were immediately dozens of gazes that swept over.


    ��Wang Qian, if you don��t talk, nobody will think that you��re mute!��


    ��Huhu, if you��re impressive, why can��t you gain enlightenment on Dao?��


    ��Keep talking and I��ll beat you to death!��


    �� ��


    The last sentence was said by Bai Cuishan.


    He was currently overflowing with confidence.


    However, Wang Qian did not pay the slightest attention to it.


    Once a person made up their mind to be shameless, that was true invincibility.


    I��ll just thicken my face and stay right here. What can you do to me?


    But Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��According to my explanation, it��s theoretically like this! It��s just that even if it��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses, there isn��t enough time and energy to specialize in one or several Daos. Wanting to comprehend myriad Great Dao and reach Hegemon Realm at the same time is clearly not too realistic.��


    The moment Wang Qian heard, he said disdainfully, ��Tch, you��ve said it all! Either way, there��s no way of verifying this either!��


    Despicable!


    Too despicable!


    Many people glared and really wanted to beat him up.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If my conjecture is right, the few levels at the back should also be like this second floor. All of which is to derive all kinds of forms with the mist body!��


    The moment Wang Qian heard, he laughed coldly again and said, ��Do you think that you��re a roundworm in Progenitor Imperishable��s stomach? Whatever you say will be what it is? If it isn��t like that at the back, then what?��


    Ye Yuan still said with a smile, ��Then �� beat you to death!��


    Wang Qian choked and lost his temper.


    Now, a word from Ye Yuan and he would have to suffer the siege of a hundred people.


    He was impressive, but he could not fend them off!


    Ye Yuan letting him listen to the sermon here was already a massive favor.


    Hence, Ye Yuan started preaching on Dao.


    He was preaching to everyone how to derive the power of flames with the mist body.


    It looked simple, but actually, this was more than a level harder than the first level��s Twilight Drum Daybreak Bell.


    Some people were extremely talented and had gained better comprehension very quickly.


    But some were unable to find the correct approach.


    Some people were slow to learn and completely burned to death by this blazing fire.


    Bai Cuishan��s talent was indeed extremely high. He learned very quickly.


    Wang Qian��s talent was significantly greater than Bai Cuishan. He learned faster.


    He desperately developed the power of flames, trying to surpass Ye Yuan.


    However, before long, another spatial door appeared in front of everyone.


    And another piece of origin fragment appeared next to Ye Yuan.


    He reached grand completion once again.

 Chapter 2947 - Ownership of the Origin!

    Wang Qian discovered to his dismay that he could forever only eat dust behind Ye Yuan.


    This guy��s comprehension ability was seriously too monstrous!


    Seeing Ye Yuan enter the spatial door, Wang Qian gritted his teeth and followed after.


    He did not believe that Ye Yuan could really foretell things accurately.


    Bai Cuishan and the rest of this batch of people were in no rush.


    They had already tasted the benefits in the first level. They were naturally unwilling to give up halfway.


    Upon entering the third level, Wang Qian��s expression changed.


    Wind!


    This place was endless wind!


    Wild gale like blades, blowing until his soul body was close to collapsing!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    ��Heh, looks like you won��t be beaten to death! Sure enough, the inheritances in these later few levels are exactly the same as Master Ye expected!�� By the side, Ceng Yu mocked him.


    The current Ceng Yu had already become Ye Yuan��s hardcore follower.


    His strength was weak to begin with. His comprehension ability was also not high among this group of people.


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would have definitely been in the first batch that died.


    But now, not only did he survive, his soul body became much more powerful than before.


    Therefore, he found Wang Qian displeasing to the eye.


    There was wind everywhere here. Even a moron could guess that what needed to be comprehended this round was the misty air turning into wind!


    Those few rounds at the back naturally also had an extremely high probability of being what Ye Yuan expected, turning into other attributes with the misty air.


    ��Talk again after clearing the round! It��s still hard to say what it will be like now!�� Wang Qian was still stubborn as he said those words.


    Ye Yuan ignored him and started preaching on Dao.


    Wang Qian also mustered up his strength and raced with Ye Yuan.


    However, it was still a crushing defeat!


    Even if he knew that Ye Yuan was a genius, he was also being flung more than ten streets behind by Ye Yuan in comprehending mist turning into wind!


    In the end, it was still Ye Yuan preaching Dao that he gained sudden enlightenment.


    However, Wang Qian no longer cared.


    Either way, he was already being shameless. If he lost, he lost. What was the big deal?


    But in his heart, he was shocked.


    He naturally knew how difficult this kind of comprehension was.


    However, it was not a problem at all with Ye Yuan!


    Regardless of whether it was mist turning into wind, mist turning into fire, or mist turning into lightning, Ye Yuan could comprehend it swiftly and reached the realm of grand completion.


    Wang Qian could not imagine at all. Everyone was of the Pseudo Imperishable Physique. What right did Ye Yuan have to be able to accomplish this?!


    Of course, Ye Yuan already gradually understood some things.


    Him being able to comprehend quickly, comprehension ability was naturally one aspect.


    But a big part of the reason was that his soul physique could integrate into heaven and earth!


    And it could borrow the power of heaven and earth to restore the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    Although Ye Yuan had not met Hegemon Imperishable before, he felt that Hegemon Imperishable was likely the same as him.


    He was of the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    The others did not have this ability.


    If the misty air was completely wiped out, they would really be dead.


    This Seven-Colored Pagoda was actually the legacy that Hegemon Imperishable customized for the true Imperishable Soul Physique.


    Only the true Imperishable Soul Physique could pass through these seven levels!


    The first level was to lay down the foundation for the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, strengthening oneself.


    While at the back, it was mist transforming into myriad Dao!


    Of course, these six levels were just the beginning.


    But with this foundation, the road in the future would become much easier.


    Time flew by quickly. In a blink of an eye, a month passed.


    Everyone outside the pagoda had long already fallen into shock.


    Because they had already completely lost control of the Seven-Colored Pagoda��s situation.


    ��This �� How is this possible? Over 100 people stepped into the seventh level at the same time? What on earth happened in the Seven-Colored Pagoda?�� The old woman had a look of confusion.


    Just earlier, there were still over 100 people who were still alive that stepped into the last level one after another.


    Then the few major powers present completely lost it.


    In this one month, the shock in their hearts grew greater and greater.


    It seemed like apart from the casualty rate being a little high in the first floor, the levels at the back became incomparably smooth.


    The cannon fodders that they led here actually cleared one level after another.


    This kind of situation simply made all the jaws hit the ground!


    North Soul Region��s old man frowned and said, ��This Seven-Colored Pagoda wouldn��t have a problem, right? This kind of thing has never happened before!��


    Mountain Goat immediately said, ��Are you kidding me? What can go wrong with the chaos heavenly treasure that Progenitor Imperishable left behind?��


    The old man smiled bitterly and said, ��Then how do you explain everything that happened in the pagoda?��


    Mountain Goat opened his mouth and actually had nothing to say in reply.


    Yeah, what on earth happened?


    He really wanted to know as well!


    Cloudneon, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened her mouth and said, ��I think it should be related to Ye Yuan!��


    The moment the old woman heard, she snickered and said, ��Huhu, Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon really knows how to joke around! No matter whose turn it is, it won��t be his turn too!��


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��In each round, Ye Yuan was the first to clear! Clearly, it has a lot to do with him!��


    The old woman could not help laughing as she said, ��The first to enter the next floor, and it has something to do with him? Then, if I��m the first to enter East Soul Region, will the entire East Soul Region be mine?��


    Cloudneon was expressionless and shut her mouth.


    She felt that she had no way of communicating with this idiot.


    Mountain Goat smiled and said, ��Huhu, they have already entered the seventh level and will be able to come out very soon. At that time, everything will naturally come to light!��


    �� ��


    Rumble!


    The space inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda underwent enormous changes.


    The seven spaces completely melted into one space.


    In the center of the space, there was a seven-hole crystal.


    Ye Yuan walked toward the seven-hole crystal and placed the obtained seven pieces of origin fragments inside.


    All of a sudden, light shone in all directions!


    Several breaths later, a prismatic seven-colored crystal appeared in front of everyone.


    This was the wisp of origin that Progenitor Imperishable left behind.


    Everyone��s breathing became heavy.


    This tiny crystal was where the entire Seven-Colored Pagoda��s essence lay!


    What was the use no matter how much you comprehended?


    But, once you fuse with the origin, that was really soaring to the heavens in one bound, nobody could stop you anymore!


    Everyone cast envious gazes toward Ye Yuan.


    This piece of origin belonged to him!


    They palpitated with excitement, but no one came up to snatch.


    Nobody was a fool. This object was left behind by Progenitor Imperishable for his successor.


    At present, this space already belonged to Ye Yuan.


    If they took action, that was courting death!


    However, in the next second, something that made everyone stare dumbfoundedly happened.


    Ye Yuan casually threw the origin crystal to Ceng Yu, who was not far away, and said, ��You come. Try to fuse with it!��


    Ceng Yu was taken aback, wondering if he heard wrongly or not. ��Master Ye, s-stop joking around. I, Ceng Yu, still have self-awareness!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I asked you to fuse, just fuse with it. What��s with all the crap? I reckon that you probably can��t fuse with it. Uh, everyone come and try, see if anyone can succeed.��


    Bai Cuishan said, ��Ye Yuan, you aren��t kidding, right? This is Progenitor Imperishable��s origin! A massive lucky chance, you don��t want it?��


    Ye Yuan said lightly, ��I have my own Dao. I don��t want this origin! I, Ye Yuan, won��t walk other people��s path!��


    Everyone felt that Ye Yuan was crazy!


    If it was an ordinary Hegemon��s origin, then forget it.


    But this was Hegemon Imperishable��s origin!

 Chapter 2948 - Inflated!

    ��I �� I can��t!�� Ceng Yu looked at Ye Yuan and laughed bitterly.


    He tried for half a day and ultimately still failed to fuse with it.


    Following that, a few more people tried it, but it still did not work.


    Clearly, fusing with origin this sort of thing was not easy.


    ��I��ll try it!�� Bai Cuishan came forward on his own accord.


    Nobody could resist the allure of origin. Bai Cuishan could not resist as well.


    Seeing that so many people failed, he was somewhat eager for action.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Brother Bai, do you trust me or not?��


    Bai Cuishan grinned and said, ��Without you, Ye Yuan, there wouldn��t be me, Bai Cuishan, today! If I don��t trust you, who else can I trust?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you trust me, don��t fuse with the origin.��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Bai Cuishan was taken aback and said, ��Why?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Origin is a sharp weapon and also a shackle! You��ve already obtained Progenitor Imperishable��s inheritance. There��s no need to fuse with his origin anymore. As long as you follow this path, your future accomplishments will definitely be above the person who fuses with the origin! In fact, even right now, he might not be your match too!��


    Ye Yuan had fused with an origin too, but Hegemon Imperishable��s origin was different from the Chaos Bloodstone��s origin.


    That wisp of blood origin was not tainted with the slightest secular aura. It was completely born from chaos!


    Extremely pure!


    Ye Yuan did not have any side effects when fusing with the Dao sword.


    But Hegemon Imperishable��s origin carried a thick personal brand.


    That was the Dao of Hegemon Imperishable.


    Fusing with this trace of origin, one��s strength might soar rapidly in the beginning.


    But when time passed, it would be very hard to carve out your own path.


    When one reached origin realm and wanted to step into the realm of Hegemon, it would be even more difficult!


    Ye Yuan��s impression of Bai Cuishan was pretty good. Although this person liked to posture, his thoughts were simple without distracting thoughts.


    During the first round previously, he even came to remind him to leave.


    Then later on, Bai Cuishan was also the person who comprehended the seven Daos the deepest among these people!


    His current strength already far surpassed Wang Qian!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan decided not to give the origin to him.


    Bai Cuishan thought about it and said, ��Alright, I won��t fuse with it! If any of you want to fuse, take it!��


    Everyone looked at Bai Cuishan with disbelieving faces.


    This guy was insane, right?


    One sentence from Ye Yuan and he gave the origin that was about to come to his hands to others?


    Even if it was very difficult to step into Hegemon Realm in the future, even if one reached Emperor Sakra Heaven, just this step of stepping into origin from Emperor Sakra Heaven already stumped countless geniuses!


    Most people were still just Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    God knows how long Emperor Sakra Heaven would take!


    He did not want this massive lucky chance?


    Although Ye Yuan had received Ye Yuan��s favor, they still felt that Bai Cuishan was a dumb person flushed with money and was hoodwinked by Ye Yuan.


    Many people started whispering to each other.


    When Wang Qian saw this scene, he sneered coldly.


    Hegemon Imperishable and everyone all descended from the same lineage!


    They were Pseudo Imperishable Physiques. Why would Hegemon Imperishable��s origin cause a hindrance when stepping into Hegemon Realm?


    Moreover, there was only Hegemon Imperishable alone who stepped into Hegemon Realm with the Pseudo Imperishable Physique!


    No matter how strong the others were, they were unable to break through the shackle of Hegemon Realm too!


    This origin could be said to be the only hope of stepping into Hegemon Realm.


    Obstruction?


    Idiot!


    Very soon, many more people tried to integrate it, but all of them failed without exception!


    Fusing with origin had an extremely high requirement on talent.


    It was not that you could fuse with it when the origin was placed in front of you.


    ��Shall I try it?�� Wang Qian finally could not resist stepping forward.


    The moment he stepped forward, a wave of ridicules immediately came over.


    ��Wang Qian, do you still want face or not?��


    ��Others all have the qualifications to try, but what qualifications do you have?��


    ��Give up. It��s impossible for Master Ye to let you try!��


    �� ��


    Wang Qian was already invincible. He directly ignored these words and looked toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, ��Give it a shot then. Either way, it��s also a waste for this origin to be placed here.��


    Wang Qian wished to smack Ye Yuan to death with a slap! You��re too freaking good at posturing!


    It turned out that Your Father was a rag-and-bone man?


    The others also looked toward Ye Yuan in shock, wondering whether or not Ye Yuan became stupid from cultivation?


    Actually, Ye Yuan had his own considerations too.


    If no one here could fuse with it, then he could only fuse with it himself.


    With his mist physique, there was naturally no difficulty with fusing with it.


    But he was not willing!


    If he went out, Cloudneon that woman would definitely force him to fuse with it.


    Therefore, it was best if he could find someone to fuse with it among these people.


    Wang Qian received the crystal, his mood extremely agitated.


    He was someone that Progenitor found promising. He had confidence in fusing with the origin!


    As long as he fused the origin, he would regain all the face that he had lost!


    Taking a deep breath, Wang Qian started fusing with the origin.


    His soul body gradually transformed into a mass of misty air, attempting to penetrate into the origin.


    Concerning his fusion, everything seemed to be going well.


    The origin crystal actually started to melt!


    Wang Qian was wildly elated in his heart, forcefully suppressing the agitated in his heart and continuing to integrate it.


    Little by little, bit by bit.


    Finally, he felt an additional powerful to the extreme power in his soul body.


    Originally, the areas that he was confused about on the journey of Dao, suddenly became enlightened at this time!


    Boom!


    Wang Qian��s soul force rose rapidly and actually directly entered middle Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Everyone was dumbfounded!


    ��A-Actually really fused with it!��


    ��No wonder Great Emperor Shan Yang was so optimistic about him. It turns out that his soul physique is really the closest to Progenitor Imperishable!��


    ��Sigh, what��s Master Ye thinking? Such a large piece, he gave it away with both hands!��


    �� ��


    Everyone around him either exclaimed, felt regretful, or was angry from his failure to live up to expectations.


    But they were unable to change the fact that Wang Qian fused with the origin.


    ��Hahaha �� You didn��t expect it right, Ye Yuan? I, Wang Qian, fused with Progenitor Imperishable��s origin! From now on, we��re no longer of the same world!��


    Wang Qian felt that he was currently powerful to the extreme.


    In fact, after possessing the origin, he felt that Hegemon Realm was within reach too!


    The things that were originally vague and insubstantial, he currently felt that it was very solid!


    Hegemon Imperishable��s origin was not the average origin.


    This was the soul race��s Supreme Hegemon whose strength roamed the heavens unobstructed!


    That kind of feeling could not be described with words at all.


    Ye Yuan was indeed a little surprised. He did not expect that Wang Qian really fused with it.


    It seemed like Wang Qian��s Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique was indeed very strong and already somewhat approached the real Imperishable Soul Physique.


    However, no matter how close, it was also just Pseudo Imperishable Physique.


    Everyone��s expressions were ugly. They did not have any good impression of Wang Qian.


    But now, circumstances were stronger than people!


    Many people started grumbling about Ye Yuan in their hearts.


    Wang Qian felt that he was very inflated. He arrived before Ye Yuan and said with a disdainful look, ��Ye Yuan, didn��t you say that he��s stronger than me after fusing with the origin? I��ll have a battle with him now. You don��t have objections, right?��


    While talking, he pointed at Bai Cuishan.


    The latter��s expression changed, becoming somewhat fearful.


    He was originally not Wang Qian��s match. Now, the other party fused with the origin. How could he possibly be his match?


    Ye Yuan��s boast was a little too overboard!

 Chapter 2949 - Imperishable Inheritances Terror!

    ��Wang Qian, you��re showing off your cleverness after coming off cheap! Even if you fused with the origin, do you really think that so many of us are scared of you?�� Bai Cuishan was somewhat threatening in manner but inwardly shaky as he said.


    This guy was like a dog previously.


    Now, he actually jumped up again!


    He was somewhat unable to understand why Ye Yuan wanted to let him fuse the origin.


    Now, it was really somewhat difficult to dismount the tiger after climbing on it.


    Wang Qian had long forgotten what face was and said with a smile, ��So what if I��m showing off my cleverness after coming off cheap? I didn��t beg him to fuse with it either! This guy didn��t have any good intentions either. Letting me fuse with it was just in order to humiliate me! It��s just that he probably didn��t expect that I, Wang Qian, am amazingly talented and actually really fused with it! Hahaha, Ye Yuan, the face that I lost, I��m going to claim it back now!��


    Everyone cussed Wang Qian for being shameless but could not do anything to him.


    This guy had the appearance of a villain intoxicated by success, just looking at him made you want to punch him.


    But Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Brother Bai, play with him.��


    Bai Cuishan��s face turned black, and he said, ��I��m not his match!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Relax, I can still control this space! If he dares to harm you, I��ll beat him to death!��


    Wang Qian was speechless.


    Bai Cuishan��s eyes lit up, and he said, ��For real?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and suddenly flipped his palm over.


    Boom!


    An enormous palm fell from the sky, directly pressing Wang Qian down to rub against the ground.


    Wang Qian was furious and let loose a torrent of abuse, ��Ye Yuan, f*ck your grandma! Argh, I won��t let you off!��


    Bai Cuishan was overjoyed when he saw the situation; how satisfying!


    They thought that after Wang Qian fused with the origin, he should be able to dominate this space.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan was still the master!


    ��Okay! I��ll compete with him!�� Bai Cuishan said very readily.


    The giant palm vanished. Wang Qian was in a thunderous rage, both eyes blood-red as he said, ��Ye Yuan, I��m going to kill you!��


    Bang!


    He was pressed and drubbed again.


    ��I urge you to calm down. In this place, I can trample you at will!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Wang Qian became quiet.


    Facing Bai Cuishan, Wang Qian��s fury was already surging to the sky.


    He and Bai Cuishan had enmity too. Previously, in the fire sea, Bai Cuishan suddenly smacked him flying.


    It even almost killed him.


    Being helpless against Ye Yuan, he was going to vent all of his anger on Bai Cuishan.


    Even if he could not kill him, he would also make him regret being born in this world!


    Feeling Wang Qian��s surging fury, Bai Cuishan was rather scared.


    Wang Qian��s awe-inspiring reputation was very strong. In their circle of Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, he was absolutely a big brother-level figure.


    His talent had once obtained Progenitor Imperishable��s praise before.


    Bai Cuishan was really scared of Wang Qian.


    Although he had seriously comprehended all the things in the seven floors of the Seven-Colored Pagoda, there was no benchmark as to how much help these things had on his strength.


    He knew that he had become stronger, but he felt that he was still too unskilled to face off against the Wang Qian, who fused with the origin.


    Moreover, Wang Qian was currently even a cultivation realm higher than him.


    ��Huhu, Bai Cuishan, prepare to bear my wrath!��


    Wang Qian gave a cold laugh, and a fierce wind immediately surged!


    Sinister wind howled, blowing until people��s soul bodies hurt!


    When everyone saw this move, they could not help sighing slightly.


    Divine Wind Nether Kill!


    This move was the soul path mystic art that Progenitor Imperishable specially passed down for the Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique to cultivate.


    Furthermore, Wang Qian also cultivated mist transforming into wind here!


    The power of this move became even more terrifying.


    ��Sigh, just this move is much more brilliant than us!��


    ��The Central Soul Region has always been transcendent, with Progenitor Imperishable personally imparting mystic arts. What can we do?��


    ��Under this blow, Bai Cuishan would be seriously injured even if he did not die! What��s even more deadly is that Wang Qian hasn��t even employed the power of origin!��


    �� ��


    All around came a series of sighs.


    The moment this move came out, they had already predicted the outcome.


    Central Soul Region might not be very powerful in other aspects, but in Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physique this area, they were truly invincible!


    Wang Qian smiled coldly and said, ��Ye Yuan, open your dog eyes and watch closely! Even if Your Father doesn��t use the power of origin, killing this fool is also like taking something out of my bag!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not speak, as if he was not worried at all.


    Bai Cuishan was not an ordinary person either, but under this swift and fierce move, he could only defend!


    In the fifth level, the inheritance was mist transforming into earth.


    Under the current desperation, Bai Cuishan unconsciously converted the misty gas into an earth-yellow color.


    Boom!


    A showdown that could topple mountains and overturn the seas.


    The result made everyone��s jaws drop!


    Bai Cuishan was unmoving like a mountain!


    Wang Qian gave a muffled groan and fell to the ground!


    Everyone��s eyes went wide.


    This �� What happened?


    Mist transforming into earth actually had such tremendous power?


    Bai Cuishan himself also had a dumbfounded look. He had already been prepared to be seriously injured.


    Who knew that he did not feel anything; it was Wang Qian himself fell down.


    This guy had injured himself!


    Bai Cuishan recovered his soul body and muttered, ��Wang Qian, why are you so weak?��


    Wang Qian nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood!


    Weak?


    Apart from not using origin, Your Father already used all of my strength!


    This attack of his earlier was extremely fierce, but who knew that it was like it had crashed into a steel plate.


    The opponent was fine, but his soul body suffered a tremendous backlash force. As a result, he injured his soul body!


    ��It��s not that he��s weak, but that you became strong!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Bai Cuishan seemingly woke up from a dream and was rather excited as he said, ��You��re right. It��s me who became strong! I �� How did I become so strong? Heh heh, Wang Qian, eat my move!��


    Buzz, buzz!


    Without waiting for Wang Qian to respond, there was suddenly an additional bolt of lightning in Bai Cuishan��s hand, smashing over towards his opponent.


    Wang Qian��s expression changed drastically. He felt a great threat!


    The power of this lightning was even stronger than Feng Rui��s Five Lightning Execution!


    The power of origin suddenly blossomed!


    At the same time, wild wind howled!


    Under the augmentation of the power of origin, this storm was more than dozens of times stronger than before!


    Hegemon Imperishable��s power of origin was no joke.


    ��Whirlwind Scattering the Clouds! Bai Cuishan, you forced me!�� Wang Qian bellowed, pouncing toward Bai Cuishan.


    Everyone��s expressions changed again!


    The two people��s battle immediately rose several levels.


    It was just that Wang Qian was too terrifying this time!


    However, in the next second, everyone was stunned.


    ��Ahh!!��


    Wang Qian screamed miserably. His soul body started quivering like it got electrocuted, flying out backward.


    Bai Cuishan was unbelievably excited, his soul force instantly transforming into countless fire balls, smashing toward Wang Qian.


    Six forms, each form was strong to the extreme!


    Furthermore, Bai Cuishan��s attacks did not have any profound technique. It was all just a superficial application of the mist form.


    But Wang Qian was pursued by Bai Cuishan and brutally beaten.


    Without the slightest strength to fight back!


    Miserable screams echoed!


    ��I��ll also perform a Whirlwind Scattering the Clouds!��


    ��Uh, have another Sword of Lightning!��


    ��Watch my move! Fire Dragon Technique!��


    �� ��


    Bai Cuishan became more and more excited as he fought and could not stop at all.


    Too strong!


    Too satisfying!


    My opponent has the power of origin!


    But, in front of Your Father, he could not even let out a fart!


    Hahaha, satisfying!

 Chapter 2950 - Well Done, Wang Qian!

    ��Wang Qian, you��re too weak!��


    ��Fight back! Don��t you even have any strength leftover to retaliate?��


    ��To think that you looked like a villain intoxicated by success just now, your strength doesn��t match your boasting!��


    �� ��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Bai Cuishan was devastating Wang Qian brutally.


    Everyone present was stunned from watching.


    Everything before their eyes was seriously too subverting!


    Wang Qian already brought out the power of origin. In the end, he was still being thrashed.


    Although Bai Cuishan displayed powerful strength earlier, they thought that after Wang Qian used the power of origin, there should have at least been a bloody battle between both parties.


    Who knew that it was completely a one-sided devastation!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    If not for the power of origin, Wang Qian would have already died God knows how many times now.


    It was not that Hegemon Imperishable��s origin was not powerful. It was just that the time Wang Qian��s fused was too short, and his comprehension of origin was too little.


    And Bai Cuishan had long already cultivated his soul body until it was incomparably solid in this Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    In the later six levels, although he was cultivating mist transforming into myriad Dao, Bai Cuishan��s soul body still obtained tremendous tempering.


    That was right. The mist body could be cultivated too!


    The stronger the misty air, the harder it was to be killed!


    Even if they were all Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, it was the same too.


    Bang!


    An earth attribute mystic art was executed, and Wang Qian was pressed to the ground and drubbed once again.


    Now, he was already powerless to talk anymore.


    Bai Cuishan stopped and came to Ye Yuan��s side as he said excitedly, ��Turns out that the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique can be cultivated to such a point! I finally understand why Progenitor Imperishable is called Hegemon Imperishable!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Progenitor Imperishable isn��t truly imperishable, but it��s that he has trained his Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique to the point where it��s difficult to kill! In the future, even if you can��t reach his height, you can also one-shot most Hegemons!��


    Hearing this, Bai Cuishan was excited to the extreme.


    At the same time, he looked at Ye Yuan with gratitude.


    The reason why he had today was entirely because of Ye Yuan!


    Now, his path of enshrouding mist had already been opened. He already had a clear direction for his cultivation direction from now on.


    This way, his future was truly limitless.


    The others looked at Bai Cuishan, already envious until they went crazy!


    Only all the way until Bai Cuishan displayed his strength did they understand where the significance of this Seven-Colored Pagoda lay.


    This was the cultivation method that Progenitor Imperishable customized for the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    Furthermore, it was only under these kinds of specific conditions that one could forge a cultivation path that belonged to themselves.


    One could imagine, back then, Progenitor Imperishable definitely spent considerable effort for the sake of this cultivation method and even specifically refined a chaos heavenly treasure!


    Now, the seven layers of space had already disappeared, and it was impossible for them to continue cultivating anymore.


    Therefore, the more seriously you cultivated here previously, the greater the benefits obtained.


    Without a doubt, Ye Yuan and Bai Cuishan were the greatest beneficiaries of the Seven-Colored Pagoda!


    Bai Cuishan was already so formidable, then how terrifying was the Ye Yuan who reached grand completion in all seven layers of space?


    They were already unable to imagine.


    At this time, everyone regretted it to the extreme, wishing to go back again and cultivate with Bai Cuishan.


    Except, there was no medicine for regret in this world!


    On the ground, the dead dog-like Wang Qian felt like all hope was dashed to pieces.


    This was really too demoralizing!


    �� ��


    ��The seven layered space vanished! Our plan actually really succeeded!�� Excitement was written all over Mountain Goat��s face.


    With the seven layered space disappearing, it meant that they had already obtained the power of origin!


    This was also to say that the hope of finding Hegemon Imperishable had greatly increased.


    The old woman also had an excited look as she said, ��It��s just that I don��t know if any of them has integrated the power of origin. Or who fused with the power of origin!��


    Mountain Goat narrowed his goat eyes and said with a smile, ��Actually, Progenitor Imperishable said before, Wang Qian��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique can be called half an Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique already! If there��s a chance, he might be able to become the second Hegemon Enshrouding Mist! If talking about who has the highest hope of fusing with the origin, it��s none other than him!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed.


    They really did not know that Progenitor Imperishable actually regarded Wang Qian so highly.


    Then wouldn��t the rest have become accessories?


    Mountain Goat smiled and said, ��Therefore, no matter what happened inside, even if others obtained the power of origin, it��s useless too! Because they have no way of fusing with the origin! Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon, this time, you��ve probably miscalculated!��


    Cloudneon��s eternally unchanging face was still like an ancient well without ripples.


    However, she was also very surprised by Progenitor Imperishable��s evaluation.


    She believed in her eyesight. But, no matter how sharp her vision, it could not compare to Progenitor Imperishable too!


    Could it be that this time, she really made an error of judgment?


    Suddenly, the old woman shouted, ��They came out!��


    A group of figures flew out of the Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    Wang Qian, who fused with the origin, was still unable to control it freely. He appeared extremely conspicuous in this dense crowd of over 100 people.


    The few Great Emperors saw him at a glance.


    Mountain Goat��s face revealed wild elations!


    Progenitor Imperishable��s origin was indeed still obtained by his own people!


    ��Hahaha �� Well done, Wang Zuo! This seat knew that you wouldn��t let me down!��


    Mountain Goat went up to welcome with a loud laugh.


    While talking, he even looked toward the other few Great Emperors with a smug look.


    That meaning was very clear; thanks for giving way!


    Cloudneon��s brows furrowed slightly, and she could not help sighing slightly in her heart.


    Sure enough, did she still make an error of judgment?


    Alright, this human was harboring evil intentions. Better kill him!


    It was just that upon going closer to take a look, everyone��s condition was very different.


    The Wang Qian who obtained the origin was slouching his head, looking listless and lethargic.


    While on the other side, Bai Cuishan was valiant and spirited, like a proud rooster.


    Seeing this scene, Mountain Goat was slightly stunned.


    What was going on?


    Wang Qian arrived in front of Mountain Goat and said listlessly, ��Lord Shan Yang.��


    Shan Yang��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��You obtained the origin, what��s with the long face?��


    The moment Wang Qian heard, he felt even more bitter.


    Can��t get happy!


    You treated the origin like a treasure, but people cast it aside like a pair of worn out shoes.


    I only picked it up because people did not want it!


    Even if it was picked up, it was originally a happy thing too.


    But the events that happened after that seriously made him unable to cheer up.


    Too demoralizing!


    Wang Qian smiled bitterly and said, ��Lord Shan Yang, this origin wasn��t obtained by me.��


    The moment Shan Yang heard, he immediately understood and said smugly, ��It turns out that it��s because of this! Huhu, so what even if it wasn��t obtained by you? This origin is fused with you. That��s your ability! No matter how formidable the rest are, they couldn��t fuse with the origin. That��s also rotten mud that can��t hold up a wall; too weak to stand up to competition!��


    The more Shan Yang talked, the more Wang Qian wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Next to them, there were already quite a few Pseudo Imperishable Physiques who laughed out loud.


    Shan Yang��s brows furrowed even harder, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What��s so funny? Could it be that this seat is wrong?��


    The others did not dare to speak, but Bai Cuishan laughed and said, ��Lord Shan Yang, what you said is really not correct! This origin was obtained by Ye Yuan! It��s not that he couldn��t fuse with the origin, but that he didn��t care at all! Not only does he not care, he even made me disregard it too! Otherwise, no matter whose turn it is, it also won��t be Wang Qian, this loser��s turn to fuse with it! Hahaha ����

 Chapter 2951 - Im of the Real Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!

    Loser?


    He simply did not dare to believe his own ears. A genius who could fuse with a Supreme Hegemon��s origin was actually called a loser by someone.


    Did the world already become so crazy?


    ��Hur, brat who��s surnamed Bai, don��t think that with your family��s ancestor protecting, you can engage in wild talk in front of this seat! Do you really think that origin is so easy to fuse? This seat thinks that it��s clearly you guys who couldn��t fuse the origin, calling the grapes sour because you can��t eat them, right?�� Mountain Goat looked at Bai Cuishan and said with a cold laugh.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Mountain Goat did not expect that the moment the words came out of his mouth, it immediately incurred hooting waves of laughter.


    The Pseudo Imperishable Physiques that entered the Seven-Colored Pagoda all laughed!


    Although Mountain Goat was a Great Emperor whose reputation shook the Imperishable Soul Domain, he felt somewhat ashamed and angry at this time too.


    I was actually being laughed at by a bunch of Pseudo Imperishable Physique trash?


    You trash have been laughing all the way from just now.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Laugh my *ss!


    ��All shut up for this seat!�� Mountain Goat said in fury.


    The moment an origin powerhouse was enraged, everyone shut their mouths one after another and did not dare to laugh anymore.


    However, Mountain Goat also finally realized that the matter seemed to be different from what he imagined!


    ��Wang Qian, you say, what on earth happened inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda!�� Mountain Goat said in a solemn voice.


    ��Lord Shan Yang, I ���� Wang Qian stammered.


    ��Huhu, Lord Shan Yang, although Wang Qian is already very shameless, he��s probably still ashamed to talk about the events inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda! Why don��t I tell you?�� Bai Cuishan said with a laugh.


    Seeing that Wang Qian still had a stammering appearance, Mountain Goat gave a cold snort, which was considered to have tacitly agreed to it.


    The few Great Emperors were long already full of suspicion and could not help perking their ears up to listen attentively.


    The more everyone listened, the more shocked they became.


    Even if they had vast experience and knowledge, they also did not think that such terrifying things actually happened inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda.


    And the initiator of evil for all these was Ye Yuan!


    Including Cloudneon, their gazes when looking toward Ye Yuan were like looking at a monster.


    They thought that the Seven-Colored Pagoda this time, the most optimistic estimation would only be one person who could come out.


    But who would have expected that more than 100 people actually came out!


    Furthermore, these over 100 people all made great progress in strength.


    The likes of Bai Cuishan even thrashed the Wang Qian, who fused with the origin!


    ��Loser!�� Mountain Goat was angered until he billowed smoke from all seven orifices.


    Wang Qian was really an out-and-out loser!


    Fused with origin and he was actually still being trampled by people.


    His Central Soul Region��s face had been utterly lost!


    ��Senior Apprentice Sister Mu, you said that �� Ye Yuan is a joke?��


    ��Senior Apprentice Brother Ming Jian, you said that �� Ye Yuan was rotten mud that can��t even hold a wall up?��


    ��Brother Shan Yan, you were showing off in front of me about how impressive Wang Qian is?��


    Suddenly, the Cloudneon, who had been icy-cold all along, opened her mouth.


    The three people��s faces immediately felt a fiery heat.


    This one month plus, they had scolded Ye Yuan plenty.


    Cloudneon did not make a sound the entire time. Who knew that she endured for more than a month, but now, she finally launched an attack!


    It was not that she did not care. It was just giving you a fatal blow at the critical moment!


    What a resounding slap!


    Ye Yuan was also dumbfounded from listening. Sure enough, women could not be provoked!


    Furthermore, this woman was well-versed in the Dao of Posturing.


    Let you guys jump around first!


    After you guys finish posturing, I��ll posture!


    Furthermore, it was a one-hit-certain-kill!


    Ye Yuan was currently marveling but saw Cloudneon��s gaze look toward him as she said coolly, ��Since Wang Qian has already fused with the origin, then you��re useless! You can go and die already!��


    Cloudneon��s words were devoid of any emotion.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan felt a piercing cold killing intent. He was virtually going to asphyxiate.


    This woman was not kidding!


    She had doubts about his motives and was really going to silence him to prevent divulgence of secrets!


    That meaning was, that you had no more value to exploit; you can go and die already!


    Even if Ye Yuan was currently extremely strong, he did not have the slightest strength to fight back in front of Cloudneon either.


    This woman was too strong!


    Ye Yuan��s scalp tingled. This woman fell out at the drop of a hat. It really caught him off-guard!


    Of course, Ye Yuan also knew that his actions had angered Cloudneon.


    I asked you to go and integrate with the origin, but you��re good, directly throwing the origin to someone else!


    This Imperishable Origin held extraordinary significance to the five great regions.


    Whoever fused with the origin was equivalent to being Progenitor Imperishable��s direct lineage disciple.


    After Hegemon Imperishable returned, that region��s status would not be the same anymore.


    Well done, I regarded you so highly. You sold me with a flip of your hand.


    If I don��t kill you, won��t I let you down?


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, ��Hold on! Although Wang Qian fused with the origin, he might not be able to find Progenitor Imperishable! Maybe I can help you guys!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of the five great origin powerhouses changed.


    The Pseudo Imperishable Physiques present were in an uproar.


    ��Find Progenitor Imperishable? What��s going on?��


    ��Did something happen to Progenitor Imperishable?��


    ��Ah! No wonder they sealed the Seven-Colored Pagoda. It turns out that it��s because of this!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan and Wang Qian both had a tacit agreement to not say the truth.


    At this time, Ye Yuan blurted it out under desperation; everyone exploded at once.


    Something happened to Progenitor Imperishable!


    This was an earth-shattering major thing!


    When Progenitor Imperishable was around, the Imperishable Soul Domain was around!


    If Progenitor Imperishable died, the Imperishable Soul Domain would perish!


    This was what everyone knew.


    Mountain Goat said angrily, ��Ye Yuan, you��re courting death! The origin has already been integrated by Wang Qian. It has nothing to do with you anymore! Since Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon wants to kill you, you go to hell then!��


    The five great powerhouses were all in a thunderous rage at this time, wishing to kill Ye Yuan off for good.


    Mountain Goat even directly cleaved a palm knife over without giving a chance to explain.


    He had long found Ye Yuan displeasing to the eye. At this time, he naturally had to strike first to gain the advantage!


    Although Mountain Goat casually struck, it was a cataclysmic crisis to Ye Yuan!


    It was like he was hit by a paralyzing hex, unable to move at all.


    An origin power was too strong!


    Boom!


    Mountain Goat��s expression changed. His sneak attack was actually terminated by Cloudneon without extra trouble!


    ��Let him speak!�� Cloudneon said lightly, not giving Mountain Goat face at all.


    Although it was a soul body, Ye Yuan still felt cold sweat run down his back.


    He drew a deep breath and said, ��Finding Progenitor Imperishable through this trace of origin, that��s just your speculation! You guys also can��t guarantee that Wang Qian can find Progenitor Imperishable, right? But, I can!��


    Mountain Goat was somewhat angry from embarrassment and said with a cold smile, ��Even Progenitor��s origin can��t find him; what right do you have!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Based on that I��m of the real Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    Mountain Goat laughed loudly and said, ��What a joke! The 33 Heavens have already existed for god knows how many years. It has also only produced Progenitor Imperishable, one Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! You dare to boast shamelessly. Do you really take us, these Great Emperors, to all be fools?��


    The old woman also sneered and said, ��In these countless years, no idea how many Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques have appeared before, all saying that they are of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! But, they were all not! What right do you have to say that you are?��


    Ye Yuan looked toward Mountain Goat, like he was saying: Yes, you look just like a fool!


    Without waiting for Mountain Goat to fly off the handle, Ye Yuan said: ��Before entering the Seven-Colored Pagoda, I didn��t dare confirm that I��m of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique too! But now, I��m incomparably sure! I��m of the real Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��

 Chapter 2952 - Progenitor Imperishables Legend!

    ��Soul Physique! All talk but no promises. You��re saying that you��re the real Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, don��t you find it ridiculous?�� Mountain Goat said with a cold smile.


    ��Ye Yuan, if you say that there��s a real Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, then it can only be me too! Because it��s me who fused with Progenitor Imperishable��s origin! You being able to pass the levels only means that your comprehension ability is high, that��s all! How do you prove that you��re of the Imperishable Soul Physique?�� Wang Qian saw that his chance had come and could not resist coming forward to trample Ye Yuan again.


    Imperishable Soul Physique this sort of thing, only Progenitor Imperishable could prove it.


    The others, whoever said it, it did not count either, and it could not prove it too!


    Therefore, now was the best time to kill Ye Yuan!


    You were disdainful to fuse with the origin. Now, you��re finally getting your just desserts, right?


    Wang Qian felt incomparably delighted in his heart.


    The old woman, Senior Apprentice Sister Mu, also said, ��What Wang Qian said is right! How do you prove that you��re of the Imperishable Soul Physique?��


    Cloudneon did not speak. Her icy-cold expression was considered to have tacitly acknowledged these people��s words.


    Want to not die, prove yourself!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Ye Yuan knew that his most dangerous time had already passed.


    Cloudneon, this woman, still valued him greatly.


    ��Ye Yuan cultivated each stage to the realm of grand completion inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda! Furthermore, only he could comprehend the inheritance that Progenitor Imperishable left behind! I feel that he is indeed very likely to be of the Imperishable Soul Physique!�� At this time, Bai Cuishan suddenly stepped forward to speak.


    These words came from the bottom of his heart.


    ��Not enough!�� Cloudneon still said icily.


    Hearing this, Wang Qian was wildly elated in his heart, although he did not know why Cloudneon suddenly changed her attitude.


    But, as long as Ye Yuan died, it was enough!


    As for proving whether Ye Yuan was of the Imperishable Soul Physique, this was simply impossible!


    ��Ye Yuan, unless you can find Progenitor Imperishable! Otherwise, you��ll die without a doubt today!�� Wang Qian said with a smug look.


    Ye Yuan just smiled. Suddenly, he released his aura.


    A powerful to the extreme soul force billowed straight for the clouds!


    Above the void, an enormous stone door appeared.


    On the stone door, there were still seals with the word ��myriad�� on them.


    This action immediately attracted a wave of exclamations.


    ��This is the Door of Eternal Life! Master Ye is really incredible. He summoned it so easily?��


    ��Does Master Ye want to use Emperor Realm to prove himself?��


    ��I also feel that Master Ye is very likely to be the real Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    �� ��


    The stone door that appeared above Ye Yuan��s head was called the Door of Eternal Life!


    As long as one could summon the Door of Eternal Life, one would be considered to have stepped into the realm of Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    The cultivation of half-step Emperor Realm was in order to summon this Door of Eternal Life.


    To others, this step was as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    But, the moment Ye Yuan��s soul force was lightly released, it was summoned!


    The cultivation after Emperor Realm was closely related to the Door of Eternal Life.


    Three ��myriad�� word seals were Emperor Realm��s three firmaments!


    Three seals, three shackles!


    Wanting to step into the realm of Hegemon, one needed to use the power of origin to break the third seal, knock open the Door of Eternal Life, thus transcending samsara, and live forever!


    Hegemon Realm powerhouses were not restricted by Hegemon Realm and would not experience Dao tribulation.


    As long as they were not killed, they could live forever!


    It was just that time flew past. Hegemon powerhouses had also experienced many blood transfusions.


    People who could truly live forever did not exist.


    Arriving at the soul race, Ye Yuan experienced the Nirvana Soul Hall��s hall entrance test and also entered the Seven-Colored Pagoda to gain enlightenment on Dao. He finally comprehended the Divine Emergence��s third level!


    His thick accumulations erupted. Summoning the Door of Eternal Life was like taking something out of his bag.


    ��Door of Eternal Life! This guy is actually going to break through to Emperor Realm at this time? It��s just that breaking through to Emperor Realm and he��ll be able to prove that he��s of the Imperishable Soul Physique? What a joke!�� Wang Qian could not help laughing as he said.


    Mountain Goat similarly sneered and said, ��Too naive! Does he think that by breaking through to Emperor Realm here, he won��t need to die anymore? Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon, now that Progenitor Imperishable��s origin has already been fused, our top priority is going to find Ancestor. It can��t be delayed! Could it be that you plan on wasting time here and delay things?��


    The old woman also nodded and said, ��Finding Progenitor is the top priority! Cloudneon, if you have time, play with him here. We��re leaving!��


    Cloudneon��s expression still remained unchanged, she just said coolly, ��Have you all forgotten Progenitor Imperishable��s legend?��


    ��Legend? What legend?�� Wang Qian said with a baffled look.


    However, the other four trembled all over!


    They had really forgotten about it!


    This legend was already too far back!


    Mountain Goat narrowed his eyes and said, ��You��re saying that he can do it? This is impossible!��


    The old woman also said, ��What a joke! That��s just a legend! Even Progenitor Imperishable has never personally admitted it before!��


    Cloudneon gave her a glance and said coolly, ��Who the hell do you think you are? Does Progenitor Imperishable need to explain anything to you?��


    ��You!�� The old woman was angered by this sentence until she wanted to vomit blood.


    Great Emperor Ming Jian said, ��But this matter is a highly guarded secret. Even with our status, we��ve only heard of it too. How did this boy know about it?��


    Cloudneon said, ��It doesn��t matter! What��s important is, can he do it or not?!��


    The four people��s expressions turned somber, and they stopped talking.


    Wang Qian had a look of confusion as he said, ��Ancestors, what on earth are you all talking about? Could it be that breaking through to Emperor Realm can still set off any waves?��


    Mountain Goat narrowed his eyes and said, ��Legends has it that a long time ago, the Nirvanic Soul Clan had not given birth to a Supreme Hegemon yet! The Nirvanic Soul Clan at that time was completely enslaved by the Qi Soul Clan. It was just a branch of the Qi Soul Clan, that��s all. All the way until the appearance of Progenitor Imperishable! When Progenitor Imperishable corroborated his Dao as Emperor Realm, he comprehended the enshrouding mist origin! And he is also the only existence who comprehended origin in Emperor Cloud Heaven Realm in our soul race over countless years! Hence, that��s why he could lead our Nirvanic Soul Clan to rise and stand up to the Qi Soul Clan as equals!��


    ��If, I��m saying if, this kid can really comprehend enshrouding mist origin when breaking through to Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! Then, he��ll definitely be of the Imperishable Soul Physique without a doubt! Because in these countless years, only Progenitor Imperishable alone had done it!��


    Mountain Goat��s words made the Pseudo Imperishable Physiques completely explode!


    Only then did they know it turns out that the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique actually still had such a saying.


    No wonder the Pseudo Imperishable Physique��s status in the Nirvanic Soul Clan was extremely low. Turns out that they all, these Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, were really just Pseudo Imperishable Physiques, that was all.


    But Ye Yuan?


    ��Tch! This is simply impossible!�� When Wang Qian heard, he said with decisiveness that could chop iron.


    Hegemon Imperishable was the one and only through the ages!


    What capability did he, Ye Yuan, have? To follow in Progenitor Imperishable��s footsteps?


    Senior Apprentice Sister Mu laughed coldly and said, ��Cloudneon, you��re completely wasting time! Every minute that we��re late, Progenitor Imperishable might be in greater danger! I��m very suspicious of your motives now! Shan Yang, this seat feels that you should immediately go and invite Lord Yu Tian now to clean up the household!��


    Her words were already completely targeting Cloudneon.


    Originally, the five great regions had continuous conflicts.


    For the sake of saving Progenitor Imperishable, that was how they came together.


    Shan Yang��s brows furrowed, and he said with a nod, ��Junior Apprentice Sister Cloudneon, the present situation indeed brooks no delay! If you insist on playing with this brat, then this seat can only offend you!��


    When Cloudneon heard, she just said coolly, ��As you wish!��

 Chapter 2953 - Entering Emperor Realm, Comprehending Origin!

    Impervious to reason!


    Cloudneon, this woman, clearly had a strong character. She would not care about other people��s opinions at all.


    Mountain Goat felt somewhat of a loss in face.


    He snorted coldly, a burst of soul force tearing across the air.


    Cloudmount��s gaze remained on Ye Yuan��s body from start to end, not caring about Mountain Goat��s action at all.


    A moment later, the void trembled, and a figure stepped out of the air.


    This was the Central Soul Region��s present leader, Hegemon Yu Tian!


    ��Paying respects to Lord Yu Tian!��


    Mountain Goat and the rest gave a bow towards Hegemon Yu Tian, but Cloudneon was aloof and indifferent.


    A hint of displeasure flashed across in Hegemon Yu Tian��s heart, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Since Wang Qian has already fused with Progenitor��s origin, then what are you still waiting for? A child is messing around, and you guys are messing around with him too?��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    He looked toward the Ye Yuan, who was currently breaking through, full of disdain.


    Emperor Realm comprehending origin, he had attempted it before back then too. In the end, it ended in failure.


    It was far too difficult!


    Since time immemorial, there was only Imperishable alone.


    What he comprehended was naturally not the enshrouding mist origin. The difficulty was far from as high as the enshrouding mist origin.


    But he still felt that it was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    In reality, it was far from just him alone who attempted to comprehend origin at Emperor Realm. But they all ended in failure.


    Now, you��re telling me that you can comprehend origin?


    What a joke!


    While talking, Hegemon Yu Tian already released his soul force domineeringly, intending to kill Ye Yuan.


    ��If you dare to make a move, I��ll break through to Hegemon right now and fight it out to the death with you!��


    Cloudneon said it very lightly, as if she was chatting.


    But Hegemon Yu Tian��s soul force could not help stagnating.


    ��If you guys want to leave, bring Wang Qian and hurry up and go. If Ye Yuan doesn��t comprehend origin, I��ll naturally kill him. There��s no need for others to do it on my behalf. Of course, if you all feel that there��s any issue, I��ll accompany you to the end too!��


    Cloudneon said it in a soft voice, sounding very pleasant.


    But the words revealed a majesty that brooked no questioning.


    Hegemon Realm, to others, that was a peak that was far beyond reach in their lifetime.


    But in Cloudneon��s eyes, it was like a hundred foot tall small earth mound.


    If I wanted to climb it, then I��ll climb!


    Hegemon Yu Tian was Central Soul Region��s peak Hegemon.


    But at this time, he hesitated.


    Otherwise, even if it was Mountain Goat, no one knew Cloudneon��s strength either.


    But he knew!


    Once Cloudneon really risked it all, a sanguinary slaughter would probably be set off in the Imperishable Soul Domain.


    A threat!


    A blatant threat!!


    Would I, an exalted Hegemon, be threatened by you, an Emperor Sakra Heaven?


    ��Since Martial Niece Cloudneon is so confident, what��s the harm in watching?�� Hegemon Yu Tian suddenly smiled and said.


    Everyone was stunned!


    What is this?


    Please, you��re a Hegemon. Do you still want face or not?


    Boom!


    Just as everyone was shocked, the Door of Eternal Life suddenly emitted a profound and inscrutable power.


    This power might not be too great, but it was sufficient to make the expressions of Hegemon Realm powerhouses change.


    Ye Yuan, who was currently breaking through, suddenly opened both eyes.


    That secret that came from inside the Door of Eternal Life, as if it could pry into the world, was currently being grasped by him.


    ��Is this the Door of Eternal Life? Seems like all of my secrets are so laughable in front of it! Just where does this door lead to?�� Ye Yuan thought in his heart.


    In reality, when he was in the Seven-Colored Pagoda, he already vaguely felt something.


    Breaking through to Emperor Realm was just taking advantage of the opportunity to him.


    Ye Yuan��s accumulations in the second level of Deity Realm were sufficient to let him break through to Emperor Realm.


    But the inheritance that Hegemon Imperishable left behind had indeed opened another window for him, letting him enjoy a new scenery.


    At this time, that aura of origin completely wrapped Ye Yuan up.


    Everyone happened naturally without extra effort.


    But, in other people��s view, it was an earth-shattering scene!


    ��Origin! That �� That��s really origin! Emperor Realm comprehending origin! He��s really of the Imperishable Soul Physique!��


    ��No wonder he��s disdainful to fuse with Progenitor Imperishable��s origin, turns out that he had a well-thought-out plan! With his own origin, why does he need to fuse with other people��s origin?��


    ��True! Apart from the real Imperishable Seven-Colored Pagoda, who else can clear the stages so easily inside the Seven-Colored Pagoda?��


    �� ��


    Following the descending of origin, the Pseudo Imperishable Physiques present stared dumbfoundedly.


    Hegemon Yu Tian��s eyes almost popped out!


    ��This �� How is this possible? He��s actually of the true Imperishable Soul Physique!�� Yu Tian sucked in a cold breath and said.


    Wang Qian��s face burned red hot. He was slapped again.


    1


    It was just that this time, it was more shocking than any other time before.


    Even if Ye Yuan beat him black and blue, he also never thought that Ye Yuan was of the true Imperishable Soul Physique.


    But now, it was not up to him to not believe anymore.


    One and only through the ages!


    In these countless years, only Hegemon Imperishable alone had once done it.


    Now, it was accomplished by Ye Yuan!


    The Senior Apprentice Sister Mu, Ming Jian, and Mountain Goat, who were jumping around endlessly just now, all stopped talking now.


    Ye Yuan grasping origin, it was already conclusive beyond all doubt!


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Cloudneon��s beautiful eyes.


    She was very optimistic about Ye Yuan. Therefore, even if she was not sure of Ye Yuan��s objective, she let him enter the Seven-Colored Pagoda too.


    Even if it was before, when Ye Yuan said that he could grasp origin, she only held one-ten-thousandth hope too.


    Who knew that this one-ten-thousandth hope actually came true?!


    The Door of Eternal Life gradually exited.


    Ye Yuan��s soul force skyrocketed and already reached the realm of Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    He looked towards Cloudneon and said coolly, ��Now, it can prove that I��m of the Imperishable Soul Physique, right?��


    Cloudneon was silent.


    Since ancient times, the soul race only had these two Imperishable Soul Physiques.


    She believed that there should be some connection between these two great Imperishable Soul Physiques.


    But she was somewhat afraid now.


    She was afraid of Ye Yuan breaking away from her control.


    This person was clearly very dangerous.


    Was letting him go and find Progenitor really a wise choice?


    What on earth was this boy��s goal?


    Everyone��s gazes turned toward Cloudneon.


    While Yu Tian, this Hegemon Realm powerhouse, was directly ignored.


    Clearly, the one who decided Ye Yuan��s life and death was not Hegemon Yu Tian, but it was Cloudneon!


    ��The matter brooks no delay. Come on!�� After being silent for a long time, Cloudneon suddenly said.


    Mountain Goat, the old woman, Ming Jian, these people all shut their mouths now.


    They followed Cloudneon quietly, leaving the Central Soul Region.


    Nothing left to say!


    Previously, they could use not being able to fuse with the origin to shoot Ye Yuan down.


    But now, what could they say?


    This was the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, an existence like Progenitor Imperishable!


    The second one through the ages!


    Ye Yuan clearly had a great say in this matter of finding Progenitor Imperishable.


    Ye Yuan did not say much either, following the few powerhouses and leaving.


    Along the way, one powerhouse after another gathered.


    Each person that arrived, their gaze when looking at Ye Yuan carried incredulity.


    The party went out of the Imperishable Soul Domain and arrived above the sea.


    Above the sea, an enormous stone door appeared in front of everyone.


    ��This is the Abyss Gate! The last place that Progenitor Imperishable appeared was here! Previously, we��ve already sent many people into the Abyss Gate, but not a single one returned. The two of you try to feel it. See if you can feel Progenitor��s aura or not,�� Cloudneon said.

 Chapter 2954 - Sea of Evil

    ��Felt it! Progenitor Imperishable did indeed enter through the Abyss Gate!�� Wang Qian��s mind stirred, and he said.


    Hegemon Yu Tian said, ��Then it��s correct! The two of you lead the way. We��ll enter the Abyss Gate together! There are many powerful existences in the Abyss Gate. Some of them, even Hegemon Realms are very fearful of them. Everyone be careful!��


    At this time, a large group of Nirvanic Soul Clan powerhouses already gathered in front of the Abyss Gate.


    Just the origin realms were as many as 30 to 40.


    Hegemon Realms even already reached ten!


    In order to save Hegemon Imperishable, the Nirvanic Soul Clan already transferred close to one-tenth of their strength.


    Under the prerequisite that the soul race and blood race were at war, this was already the greatest transfer of forces.


    Another Hegemon said, ��This matter brooks no delay, let��s go in! With my estimations, Hegemon Imperishable should be in the abyss, being tied down by some powerful existence.��


    Everyone nodded, expressing agreement.


    Hegemon Yu Tian looked at Ye Yuan and said disdainfully, ��After messing around for so long, your origin looks nice, but is useless, it��s not even as good as Wang Qian!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Ye Yuan had a calm look and did not refute.


    Abyss Gate, it was a spatial crack between Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven and another heaven.


    Inside, there were countless powerful evil things, some could even threaten Hegemons.


    One could say that this was a death zone.


    ��Ye Yuan, what do you have to say?�� Cloudneon suddenly opened her mouth and said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Nothing to say.��


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��If you don��t say, I��ll kill you!��


    Ye Yuan was helpless. This woman indeed would never talk sense with you.


    ��Alright, I can indeed feel that there��s the aura of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique here. But I feel that this is a trap. Hegemon Imperishable isn��t in the abyss rift at all. He headed in that direction.��


    Ye Yuan pointed in another direction and said.


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��Why do you say that?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��There��s some remnant enshrouding mist origin aura there, but it��s extremely weak. Without carefully sensing it, it can��t be discovered at all.��


    The moment he said it, Wang Qian immediately snickered and said, ��Your meaning is that the origin that you comprehended is higher level than Progenitor Imperishable! I can��t discover it. Only you can discover it. Is that it?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Whether or not it��s higher level than Progenitor Imperishable, I don��t know, but it��s definitely higher level than you.��


    Wang Qian��s face turned black, instantly feeling like he got slapped.


    He did not know whether or not it was high level, but having entered Emperor Realm and comprehended origin, Ye Yuan could kill him as easily as crushing an ant to death.


    Yu Tian also said, ��Your meaning is that someone deliberately covered up Progenitor��s aura, then lured us into the Abyss Gate?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��That��s right!��


    Yu Tian snickered and said, ��That��s right my *ss! What you��re saying is simply pulling down your pants to fart; superfluous! The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is the only one in the world. Regarding this point, forget about Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven; even the other heavens know it too. Before this, who could have thought that we could find this place? Could it be that that person can foretell the future?��


    Another Hegemon nodded and said, ��I also feel that Brother Yu Tian��s words make sense. You say that there��s the remnant aura of the enshrouding mist origin over there. Do you have a way to prove it?��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and shrugged at Cloudneon as he said, ��I already said that there��s nothing to say, yet you insisted on making me say.��


    Cloudneon said, ��You have no way of proving?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��The aura is very weak. I almost overlooked it just now too. Even if we want to track, it��s very difficult too. Very clearly, the other party is very careful.��


    Yu Tian��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��In my view, the one with ulterior motives should be you! You, this boy, have unknown origins. Who knows what the hell you��re planning in your heart! You want to make us fail to find Hegemon Imperishable, so as to let the blood race and Qi Soul Clan prevail, right?��


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded by listening. This old man had such rich imagination!


    These Hegemons were not fools. In reality, they had long seen through some inklings from Cloudneon��s attitude towards him.


    It was merely because he comprehended origin that they did not kill him.


    Wang Qian was indeed very unreliable when compared to Ye Yuan.


    Of course, it was also due to Cloudneon protecting him.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Alright, alright. Just take it as I didn��t say anything. Everyone enters the Abyss Gate together! However, if we encounter any danger inside, don��t blame me for not warning you guys!��


    Yu Tian snorted coldly and said, ��We��ll be in danger if we trust you! Come on!��


    The party entered the Abyss Gate.


    Inside, it was pitch black darkness with countless evil things. Furthermore, their strength was extremely powerful.


    However, with ten great Hegemons blazing the trail, there naturally would not be any problem.


    Along the way, Wang Qian sensed Hegemon Imperishable��s power of origin and led the way for everyone.


    Half a month later, everyone arrived before a dark fog.


    ��Ahead lies the Sea of Evil! There are many Hegemon level evil things inside the Sea of Evil!�� East Soul Region��s leader, Hegemon Wang Ning said.


    Yu Tian said, ��Already at this step, we have no path of retreat either! Moreover, if it isn��t an extremely dangerous place, Progenitor Imperishable wouldn��t have been caught deep inside too. In the Sea of Evil, that evil dragon��s strength doesn��t lose to Progenitor Imperishable!��


    Everyone nodded one after another. How could ordinary means trap Hegemon Imperishable, this level of existence?


    However, Yu Tian was not a reckless person either. He naturally knew propriety.


    He said to Wang Qian, ��Wang Qian, sense carefully outside the Sea of Evil. There mustn��t be any mistakes! This place isn��t an ordinary place. A single misstep and even the likes of us will be trapped inside too!��


    Wang Qian had a serious look too, feeling tremendous pressure.


    He was a clever man and naturally knew the degree of seriousness.


    Hence, he started to spread his senses carefully.


    Cloudneon said, ��Ye Yuan, you go too!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��There��s no need. Progenitor Imperishable has indeed come here before. He entered the Sea of Evil from that place!��


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��You��re sure?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I��m of the same root as Progenitor Imperishable. I can easily feel the enshrouding mist origin��s aura. It��s that place. There��s no mistake.��


    But Yu Tian smiled coldly and said, ��No matter if you are of the same root, it can��t compare to the origin from Progenitor himself either, right? Kid, if you let this seat discover that you��re spurting nonsense, this seat will kill you right now!��


    Two hours later, Wang Qian came back.


    ��Ancestors, I carefully investigated the Sea of Evil��s entrance three times and confirmed that Progenitor Imperishable entered from there!��


    The direction that Wang Qian pointed in was exactly the same as Ye Yuan said.


    With this, everyone was shocked.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan��s perception ability was so much stronger than Wang Qian?


    This was also too sensitive!


    Wang Qian expended a Herculean effort before finding the place; Ye Yuan discerned it with just a glance!


    The group of Hegemons looked toward Ye Yuan one after another.


    Wang Qian had a blank look. The entrance was investigated by me, what are you guys looking at Ye Yuan for?


    However, many hegemons were already somewhat having their thoughts stirring.


    Could it be that what Ye Yuan said outside the Abyss Gate was true?


    If it was true, this would be a trap. Then they all, these people, would really somewhat be in danger!


    ��What do you think, Brother Yu Tian?�� Wang Ning said.


    Yu Tian was silent and shook his head and said, ��No matter what, Progenitor has indeed entered the Sea of Evil, no?��

 Chapter 2955 - Nirvanic Soul Clans Great Crisis!

    ��Ancestors, actually, this disciple even discovered this at the entrance area!��


    Wang Qian took out a very, very small white crystal. When Yu Tian and the rest saw it, their pupils could not help constricting.


    ��Spatial origin crystal fragment!��


    Yu Tian exclaimed: ��Progenitor Imperishable must have entered the Sea of Evil. There��s no mistake!��


    Wang Ning also nodded and said, ��Progenitor has already searched for this thing for several tens of thousands of years! Didn��t expect that it would actually appear in the abyss rift! This also becomes understandable; Progenitor Imperishable won��t easily brave dangers. No need to hesitate anymore, enter!��


    The others responded one after another, already very certain that Progenitor Imperishable entered the Sea of Evil.


    Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed even harder.


    The more this was the case, the more he smelled a hint of danger.


    Cloudneon, who was by the side, also became aware of Ye Yuan��s expression, her expression stirring slightly.


    However, she did not say anything in the end.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M.


    Now, all the evidence showed that Progenitor Imperishable was in the Sea of Evil!


    Furthermore, with their strength, even if there was really an ambush, they could retreat unscathed too.


    Regardless of whether it was Yu Tian or Wang Ning, they were all not ordinary Hegemon Realms.


    Their strength was not at all inferior to Hegemon Cloudmount!


    There was only Progenitor Imperishable, this level of powerhouse, who could threaten them.


    The party stopped hesitating, entering the Sea of Evil!


    Upon entering the Sea of Evil, Ye Yuan felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling.


    In fact, even soul force was circulating somewhat sluggishly.


    The turbid air here seemed to have a great suppressing effect on soul bodies.


    Ye Yuan felt that in this place, the soul body could only unleash 70% to 80% of its strength.


    Even those Hegemon Realms were no exception either.


    But, unexpectedly, after entering the Sea of Evil, the surroundings seemed to have become quiet.


    Along the way, they actually did not run into a single evil creature!


    With this, even Yu Tian they all felt something amiss too.


    ��Something isn��t right! Wang Qian, are you sure that there��s still the aura that Progenitor Imperishable left behind here?�� Yu Tian said with a frown.


    Wang Qian nodded his head and said, ��Yes! After entering the Sea of Evil, Progenitor��s aura became even thicker. I don��t even need to sense carefully anymore.��


    Yu Tian looked toward Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan nodded slightly, expressing approval with Wang Qian.


    Indeed, the enshrouding mist origin��s aura here was already very thick.


    It looked like this place seemed to have experienced a great battle. Otherwise, the origin aura would not be so thick.


    ��Brother Yu Tian, this place has already entered that pincer worm��s sphere of influence. But I can��t feel that pincer worm��s aura at all! Something isn��t right here!�� Wang Ning said.


    But Yu Tian��s gaze looked toward Ye Yuan, his expression somewhat ugly.


    Could it be that this guy really hit the mark?


    Judging from this situation now, it was very likely!


    ��Brother Yu Tian, we wouldn��t �� have really been schemed against, right?�� North Soul Region��s leader, Hegemon Wu Wen said.


    Yu Tian��s gaze turned intent, and he spat a word out of his mouth: ��Retreat!��


    But right at this time, there was a tremor in the void. One figure after another poured out from all directions. There were as many as a hundred people!


    Each and every one of the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s powerhouses�� expressions changed drastically.


    ��Haha, Brother Yu Tian, you finally managed to make a trip to the Sea of Evil. You��re going to leave without even drinking a cup of tea?��


    The one speaking was an enormous pincer worm.


    Naturally, it was this region��s king.


    ��Brother Yu Tian, we haven��t met for many years. Why? Not saying hello?��


    Yu Tian��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��Bloodmourn! Your blood race actually colluded with the abyss rift!��


    Bloodmourn, blood race Hegemon, Yu Tian��s old rival.


    His strength was not beneath Yu Tian!


    Yu Tian never expected that the blood race and abyss rift colluded together.


    This was undoubtedly massive bad news to the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    Bloodmourn smiled and said, ��The enemy of an enemy is a friend! Yu Tian, such a simple logic, there��s no need for me to tell you, right? However, your old friends aren��t just us. Brother Jun Yi, not coming out to say hello?��


    Hearing this name, Yu Tian and the group of Nirvanic Soul Clan Hegemons all trembled all over, their eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    Hegemon Jun Yi, who was wearing azure-colored long robes, slowly walked out. Yu Tian��s eyes had an additional trace of despair.


    ��Jun Yi! The Qi Soul Clan and Nirvanic Soul Clan belong to the same ancestry no matter what! You guys actually allied with the blood race to deal with us?�� Yu Tian gnashed his teeth in hatred and said.


    With the blood race and abyss joining forces, although he was surprised, he was not angry.


    But Jun Yi was the Qi Soul Clan��s powerful hegemon. He actually colluded with the blood race too. This made him incredibly furious.


    Jun Yi said coolly, ��Same ancestry? Yu Tian, you��re thinking too highly of yourself! Your Nirvanic Soul Clan is our Qi Soul Clan��s dog to begin with! In all the heavens and myriad worlds, there��s only one soul race, whatever Qi Soul Clan doesn��t exist! Imperishable that old thing, he should have died long ago!��


    Yu Tian��s entire body trembled, and he said worriedly, ��You all �� What the hell did you all do to Progenitor Imperishable?��


    Jun Yi smiled and said, ��Although Imperishable this old thing is known as imperishable, with three great Supreme Hegemons joining hands, even if he doesn��t die, he��ll lose a layer of skin too! Moreover, this time, it��s scheming against the unguarded. He should be having a very bad time now. He might already be dead!��


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan members present all sucked in a cold breath.


    Three great Supreme Hegemons joined forces!


    Without a doubt, these three great Supreme Hegemons were the abyss�� Hegemon Evil Dragon, the blood race��s Hegemon Bloodsong, as well as the Qi Soul Clan��s Hegemon Heavenly Soul!


    These three people actually joined forces!


    These three great Hegemons joining forces, they could practically sweep across a world!


    Although Hegemon Imperishable was strong, under the joint forces of these three people, his life or death was really hard to say!


    An atmosphere of despair spread in the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    Even the Hegemons suffered a huge blow to morale at this time too.


    Hegemon Imperishable was the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s strongest person and also their totem, their spiritual leader.


    Now, Hegemon Imperishable might be dying. Their blow could be imagined.


    Bloodmourn smiled and said, ��Brother Yu Tian had better worry about yourself. In order to lure you all out, we paid a considerable price! However, as long as you all, these five great regions�� leaders are dead, the Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven will basically be finished. From now on, our blood race will share control of Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven with the soul race!��


    Yu Tian glared at Jun Yi and said, ��You all are asking a tiger for its skin! The blood race��s ambitions, all the heavens know! You all are actually working with them!��


    Jun Yi smiled and said, ��The soul race and blood race are both chaos races, the top species in all the heavens! We are of the same kind!��


    The Qi Soul Clan had always been high and mighty.


    They looked down on the Nirvanic Soul Clan, but because of Hegemon Imperishable��s existence, they could not do anything to the nirvanic soul clan.


    All the way until the blood race found them, they discovered that the opportunity had arrived!


    Of course, the blood race naturally paid a huge price in order to join forces with the Qi Soul Clan.


    And the abyss rift were of one body and two faces with the soul race; natural enemies.


    The matters of the world mutually promoted and restrained each other.


    And the abyss species was the nemesis of the soul race.


    In this situation, the Nirvanic Soul Clan had already reached the juncture of life and death survival!

 Chapter 2956 - Every Word Pricking the Heart!

    From the three great races, a hundred powerhouses were gathered all around.


    Just the Hegemon Realm powerhouses were as many as 23 people!


    The number was more than double that of the Nirvanic Soul Clan!


    The rest were all origin powerhouses!


    In order to completely wipe out the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s core forces, the three great races really mobilized powerhouses this time.


    ��Sigh, I really regret not listening to Young Friend Ye��s words! If I had listened to Young Friend Ye��s words, the Nirvanic Soul Clan wouldn��t be in this current danger! The death of the Nirvanic Soul Clan today is entirely due to this old man��s muddleheadedness! Young Friend Ye, this old man apologizes to you for the disrespect along the way. Our Nirvanic Soul Clan shouldn��t have dragged you into the water!��


    Yu Tian suddenly looked at Ye Yuan, his face full of regret.


    Only now did he know that him suspecting Ye Yuan was pushing the Nirvanic Soul Clan into the abyss with his own hands.


    Thinking up to here, he felt incredibly guilty.


    The other Hegemons also had remorseful looks.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    Outside the abyss, Ye Yuan urged them time and again, but none of them believed him.


    Now, they were getting their just desserts.


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of harming people at all. But, they projected their shortcomings onto him, harming themselves in the end.


    Hearing this, Bloodmourn three people all looked towards Ye Yuan, somewhat visibly moved.


    All of this had been arranged carefully to the extreme.


    In fact, even Hegemon Imperishable had fallen into the pit too.


    In the end, this important matter was actually almost ruined because of this inconspicuous Emperor Realm brat?


    The flawless plan was actually seen through by this kid?


    Bloodmourn��s back was already drenched in cold sweat!


    The blood race had schemed for far too long, for the sake of this plan.


    If the entire plan fell through because of this kid, then the losses would really be too great!


    Dealings between the three great races with complicated interests and alliances, and they even had to hide from the entire Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    The manpower and resources expended for this were simply unimaginable!


    This Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven was different from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. This place was the soul race��s world. The soul race had three great Supreme Hegemons who were extremely powerful.


    This bone was not easy to chew.


    Hence, they could only put up with the second best option. It was to think of a way to join forces with the other two major factions first and then eradicate the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    This god-like maneuver was actually completed by them!


    Now, when the results bore fruit, it actually almost failed!


    Luckily!


    Luckily, Yu Tian these guys were too stupid. If they believed Ye Yuan, then he would probably be hammered to death by Lord Bloodson.


    ��Sorry.�� Cloudneon��s voice entered Ye Yuan��s ears.


    Ye Yuan gave her a glance, somewhat surprised. This woman actually knew how to apologize!


    ��Actually, you all don��t need to despair! Progenitor Imperishable won��t die! After killing your way out, the Nirvanic Soul Clan is still the Nirvanic Soul Clan!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Bloodmourn was shocked inwardly, but he laughed loudly on the surface and said, ��Kid, you just entered Emperor Cloud Heaven, and you dare to surmise the victory or defeat of Supreme Hegemons? Hegemon Imperishable is indeed known as imperishable and is difficult to kill! But, there��s no unkillable person in this world at all! Regarding this point, Yu Tian they all definitely know better than you! Three great Supreme Hegemons joining forces, it��s just a matter of time that Imperishable that old thing dies!��


    The moment these words were said, the expressions of Yu Tian and the rest became even bleaker.


    They knew that what Bloodmourn said was right.


    Although Progenitor Imperishable was known as imperishable, he was not undying.


    He could be killed!


    A Supreme Hegemon naturally could not kill him.


    But three Supreme Hegemons, that was completely different!


    Evil Dragon, Bloodsong, Heavenly Soul, these three great Supreme Hegemons, represented the apex of three great chaos powerhouses!


    With them joining forces, there was no one that could not be killed!


    Ye Yuan gave Bloodmourn a look and said coolly, ��Why are you in such a hurry to come out and defend yourself? Guilty conscience?��


    Bloodmourn was shocked inwardly again. What a formidable brat. Every word pricked the heart!


    When did such a monster appear in the Nirvanic Soul Clan?


    ��Although you all are Hegemon Realm powerhouses, nobody understands this Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique better than me! If it was before entering the Seven-Colored Pagoda, I��ll definitely say that Progenitor Imperishable will die. But, after entering, I can tell you all that those three can��t kill him! The blood race��s true objective is you all! If you all, these people, die here, the Nirvanic Soul Clan will really be finished! Progenitor Imperishable alone can��t set off any waves!��


    Ye Yuan said it slowly, each word like a knife, making Bloodmourn��s expression change greatly.


    Because what Ye Yuan said was not the slightest bit off from the blood race��s plan!


    It was just like this plan was drawn up by him.


    Before this, Bloodsong had personally admitted that even if the three of them joined forces, they could not kill Hegemon Imperishable too!


    Hegemon Imperishable was an anomaly among Hegemons.


    His soul physique had already been cultivated to an incomparably terrifying realm.


    It could virtually be said to be undying and imperishable!


    Therefore, the blood race��s true objective was the five great soul regions�� leaders!


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan had already become extremely powerful after hundreds of millions of years of accumulation.


    Compared to the Qi Soul Clan, it was much stronger.


    Although Supreme Hegemons hard to come across, powerhouses below Supreme were similarly hard to come by.


    Not every Hegemon could reach Hegemon Cloudmount��s level.


    But one Nirvanic Soul Clan produced five of such existences. It was a very difficult bone to bite on.


    As long as they killed Yu Tian the five of them, the Nirvanic Soul Clan would completely fall!


    Bloodmourn did not expect that such an elaborate plan would actually be laid bare with a single comment from an Emperor Cloud Heaven boy!


    However, Ye Yuan did not finish speaking yet!


    He continued, ��From the moment they appeared, they have been using psychological attacks on you all, making you all think that Progenitor Imperishable will die! In addition, Sea of Evil this battlefield is too advantageous to them. This way, they will be able to kill you all at the smallest cost! If you all are dispirited, it will fall right into their wishes! Therefore, kill your way out! Even if a single Hegemon escapes, it will be a great loss to them too!��


    Boom!


    A streak of bloody light lit up, flying straight for Ye Yuan.


    Yu Tian��s pupils constricted, a streak of soul force flying straight for the firmament!


    Two great hegemons exchanged blows in an instant.


    But how terrifying was the attack of Hegemons?


    That aftershock instantly vaporized Ye Yuan.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Yu Tian roared angrily, glaring at Bloodmourn.


    He still failed to save Ye Yuan in the end!


    Bloodmourn snorted coldly and said, ��A reckless and blind ant actually dared to talk about hegemons presumptuously. His death isn��t regrettable!��


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan powerhouses were all glaring furiously.


    An Emperor Cloud Heaven was seriously too weak in such a battle!


    Even a tiny aftershock was sufficient to kill them several times over too.


    But, Bloodmourn��s sneak attack also indirectly proved that Ye Yuan��s guesses were completely correct!


    Sigh, it was a shame that a peerless genius was gone!


    However, in the next second, misty air emerged from the ground.


    Gradually, it condensed into Ye Yuan��s appearance.


    The eyeballs of everyone present were almost popping out!


    ��This �� How is this possible? Ye Yuan actually didn��t die?��


    ��That blow earlier, forget about Emperor Cloud Heaven; even if it was Emperor Vast Heaven, they would turn to ashes too!��


    ��His Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was clearly completely erased under that blow. Why didn��t he die?


    �� ��


    The four great races looked at Ye Yuan with incredible shock, full of incredulity.


    Suffered a Hegemon��s blow and actually did not die?

 Chapter 2957 - Great Battle Erupts, Cloudneon Displays Her Power!

    ��Being in such a hurry to kill me, you became angry from embarrassment?�� Ye Yuan looked at Bloodmourn and said with a light smile.


    Bloodmourn��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� You��re of the Imperishable Soul Physique? There��s actually a second Imperishable Soul Physique in this world? This is impossible! Even if it��s the Imperishable Soul Physique, you received this seat��s blow. It��s impossible not to die either!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s why I said that you all couldn��t kill Hegemon Imperishable! Even a Hegemon can��t kill me, an Emperor Cloud Heaven. Progenitor Imperishable��s soul body is on a completely different level from me! Even if three great Supreme Hegemons join forces, so what?��


    Everyone was suddenly enlightened!


    It turned out that this was the true Imperishable Soul Physique!


    Even if died until not even residue remained, you could still revive!


    This scene made the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s powerhouses become invigorated at once.


    It was indeed as Ye Yuan said; the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique could not be killed!


    ��Humph! Your measly deceptive trick can deceive others, but do you think that you can hide from this seat? The Nirvanic Soul Clan��s methods simply have no way of hiding in front of my soul race!�� Jun Yi said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan knew that he could not hide it. He did not plan to hide it either.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    Even Cloudneon could see through it. How could the Hegemons from the soul race not see through it?


    In reality, Yu Tian and the others had seen through it too.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I��m not planning on hiding from anyone! I just want everyone to know how hard it is to destroy the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! Even if many Emperor Sakra Heavens come, so what? With your strength, killing me many times, it will naturally be effortless, but so what? Can you truly kill me?��


    Jun Yi gave a cold snort but did not speak.


    Clearly, he could not kill!


    Ye Yuan continued, ��You can��t kill me, this rookie who just entered Emperor Realm. Then how powerful is Hegemon Imperishable��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? If the three great Supreme Hegemons are several realms stronger than him, then there��s naturally no problem killing him. It��s just a pity that they are the same rank!��


    The eyes of Yu Tian and the rest lit up. They were convinced!


    Honestly speaking, it was also their first time witnessing what was the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique could actually borrow the power of heaven and earth to instantly recover!


    Such a soul physique, how terrifying was it?


    No wonder Progenitor Imperishable had experienced countless battles but could never fall from beginning to end.


    They knew that back then when Progenitor Imperishable led the Nirvanic Soul Clan to rise up, he had fought with the Qi Soul Clan countless times.


    At that time, he was still not the invincible Hegemon Imperishable!


    But, no matter what means the Qi Soul Clan used, they were unable to kill him.


    That was how he had this name, Imperishable!��


    Yu Tian drew a deep breath and said, ��This seat understands! Everyone, listen up. No matter what grudges we had in the past, the biggest goal of all of us from the Nirvanic Soul Clan today is to live! We don��t fear death, but we don��t treat death lightly!��


    Wang Ning nodded and said, ��East Soul Region��s people, heed my order. Every person that can escape counts as one! As long as we get out of the Sea of Evil, they won��t be able to trap us anymore!��


    ��Heh heh, Old Ghost Yu Tian, didn��t expect that this old man, I, will actually have a day where I join forces with you!�� North Soul Region��s Hegemon Wu Wen said.


    ��Hahaha, this old woman, I, have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, I��ve lived enough too! Today, I��ll fight it out with this bunch of sons of bitches!�� West Soul Region��s leader said.


    For a moment, everyone who had originally lost their wills actually soared with fighting spirit!


    Ye Yuan��s words had already completely activated them.


    Bloodmourn was furious until he gnashed his teeth in hatred. The situation that they had meticulously created was actually messed up by an Emperor Cloud Heaven brat!


    What shocked him even more was that the Nirvanic Soul Clan actually had another true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique appear again after Hegemon Imperishable!


    Given time, this boy would soar to the sky, and then the Nirvanic Soul Clan would be at the height of its power!


    ��Everyone, we can��t let a single person off today! Wu Jia, you don��t need to take part in the fight anymore. Kill that boy called Ye Yuan at all costs!�� Bloodmourn said in a solemn voice.


    ��Lu, you go too! This boy can��t be kept alive!�� Jun Yi said with a deep gaze.


    The Qi Soul Clan was the one that was more apprehensive of Ye Yuan!


    If the Nirvanic Soul Clan really tided over this calamity, then it would be a grave threat to the Qi Soul Clan in the future!


    Therefore, Ye Yuan must die!


    The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was too terrifying!


    The three great races�� Hegemon Realms had a total of 23 people.


    The numbers were quite a few, but wanting to completely kill ten great Hegemons, the difficulty was still quite high.


    But even so, they still transferred two great Hegemons to specially deal with Ye Yuan.


    It could be seen how much importance they attached to Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan fell into a desperate situation at once.


    He naturally knew the logic that the hunter would shoot the bird that sticks out. But this was an opportunity.


    First of all, if the Nirvanic Soul Clan was really completely wiped out, he would have to die too!


    Secondly, if he could really bring the Nirvanic Soul Clan out, then Progenitor Imperishable would owe him a huge favor.


    This would be of great help to him lending the Purple Ripple Umbrella.


    However, what he could do was also just these.


    He could only hope that after pulling themselves together, Yu Tian these guys could have a few more of them survive.


    ��Cloudneon, regardless of Ye Yuan��s identity, he��s our Nirvanic Soul Clan��s benefactor! You escort him out!�� Yu Tian looked towards Cloudneon and instructed.


    Even when facing such a desperate situation, Cloudneon did not show the slightest expression either. She just nodded her head lightly.


    But Ye Yuan was speechless for a while. People already sent two Hegemons to come kill me. You guys were just sending an Emperor Sakra Heaven?


    Wasn��t this killing people?


    ��Ye Yuan, rest assured. Cloudneon��s strength is more powerful than you imagine! She��ll ensure your safety!�� Yu Tian said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said solemnly, ��Have a few more survive!��


    Yu Tian laughed loudly and said, ��Don��t you worry, the few of us old fellows aren��t so easily killed!��


    ��Let��s go!��


    Cloudneon said coolly and Ye Yuan rushed out with Cloudneon in spite of himself.


    The great battle instantly broke out!


    Ye Yuan only heard heaven-shocking explosion sounds coming from behind.


    It was as if the entire abyss was going to be blown apart!


    The battle of Yu Tian, this level of powerhouses, was seriously too terrifying.


    The aftershocks of the battle were naturally extremely terrifying.


    With the likes of his strength, he could only become cannon fodder.


    The pitiful Wang Qian turned to ashes in the instant the great battle erupted.


    Even if he merged with the origin, it could not save him either.


    Ye Yuan two people were not out of danger. Even if Cloudneon helped protect him from the vast majority of the force, he still felt like his soul body was going to be scattered.


    In front of them, there were seven to eight origin powerhouses that directly blocked off the two people��s escape routes.


    Although origin powerhouses were inferior to Hegemons, they could virtually be said to be the strongest under Hegemons already.


    It was also that two great Hegemons issued a certain-kill order on Ye Yuan. Therefore, Cloudneon this side immediately attracted considerable firepower!


    Dozens of firepower fired over in unison. Ye Yuan felt like the sky was going to collapse.


    However, amidst the torrential storm, a white beautiful figure strolled over leisurely!


    A surge of origin power spread out, and Ye Yuan��s eyes went wide.


    Those dozens of unbelievably powerful attacks actually seemed to have grown eyes, brushing past the two of them.


    Amidst the violent storm, it was only to see Cloudneon point a finger. Terrifying soul force directly stabbed toward the soul race origin powerhouse that was coming head-on like a sharp sword.


    That origin powerhouse gave a miserable cry and directly turned to ashes!


    Origin powerhouses were actually not opponents that could last one exchange with her!

 Chapter 2958 - Dream Recollection

    ��How formidable!��


    Ye Yuan was stunned by Cloudneon��s casual strike.


    Just earlier, he seemed to have been in a dream.


    In the dream, dozens of origin attacks completely scattered and disappeared!


    Those origin powerhouses all had confused looks too. Clearly, they did not know what had happened.


    ��It��s the Cloud Dream Soul Physique! Furthermore, she cultivated Dream Recollection! You all fell into her dream realm just now. It��s impossible to hit her! Everyone, leave! Leave this place to the two of us! You guys aren��t her match!��


    A figure landed. It was precisely the Qi Soul Clan��s Hegemon Realm powerhouse, Lu!


    When those origin powerhouses heart, they were all startled with fear.


    ��It��s actually the legendary grade Cloud Dream Soul Physique! It��s said that this soul physique isn��t beneath the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    ��No wonder it��s so formidable! Furthermore, she even cultivated the supreme soul canon, Dream Recollection! She��s simply unmatched in the same rank!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    ��The Nirvanic Soul Clan is really going to be amazing! An Imperishable Soul Physique and a Cloud Dream Soul Physique! Once these two steps into the realm of Hegemon, it will simply be our soul race��s nightmare!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan did not know about the Cloud Dream Soul Physique, but he was very clear about Dream Recollection.


    The soul race��s three great sacred canons �� Divine Emergence, Dream Recollection, and Extinction �� each of them was a powerful to the extreme soul race cultivation method.


    For the same of these three great soul canons, Qi and Nirvanic, two races, even once had a shocking war erupt before.


    In the end, the Nirvanic Soul Clan suffered countless casualties. Progenitor Imperishable was seriously wounded, before snatching away these three great sacred canons from the hands of the Qi Soul Clan.


    Dream Recollection this sacred canon, what it recorded was the method to gain enlightenment on Dao with dreams.


    Comprehending life in dreamland, comprehending Heavenly Dao, and finally comprehending origin.


    Dreaming for 3000 years, corroborating one��s Dao, and gaining enlightenment on longevity!


    These three great sacred canons could be cultivated regardless by the Nirvanic Soul Clan or the Qi Soul Clan.


    But Dream Recollection, this cultivation method, was especially suited for the Cloud Dream Soul Physique!


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan once had a peerless heaven��s chosen appear before, who roamed the contemporary era unobstructed!


    At that time, he was reputed as the most promising existence to become a Supreme Hegemon.


    It was just that, sadly, he made an overly showy display of his ability, and he was plotted against by the Qi Soul Clan and ambushed.


    In order to kill him, the Qi Soul Clan did not hesitate to mobilize three Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    They did not expect that many years later, the Nirvanic Soul Clan actually had another Cloud Dream Soul Physique appear again!


    Lu looked at Cloudneon and said with a light smile, ��I didn��t expect that the siege this time actually still had an unexpected discovery! Imperishable that old thing, he really hid you too well!��


    Cloudneon still had an icy-cold appearance, disliking to talk.


    Ye Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes and he discovered that Cloudneon��s soul body started dissipating, turning into nothingness in the end.


    Cloudneon was gone!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he shouted, ��Are you kidding me? Abandoning me just like that? Have you forgotten what you promised Hegemon Yu Tian?��


    In just that instant, Ye Yuan could not perceive Cloudneon��s existence anymore.


    Hegemon Wu Jia was also stupefied, then immediately burst out laughing and said, ��What bullshit Cloud Dream Soul Physique, more like it��s called, Fleeing Soul Physique, right? Kid, since that girlie ran, you can go and die then!��


    A streak of bloody light flashed past. Ye Yuan felt like he was going to die.


    He was still too far away from Hegemon Realm!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s soul physique was immediately vaporized.


    Killing Ye Yuan in one blow, Wu Jia said smugly, ��Originally, I thought that it would be somewhat troublesome. I didn��t expect that it��s so simple. What Imperishable Soul Physique, Cloud Dream Soul Physique. All simply too weak to withstand a single blow!��


    Lu smiled and said, ��While these two great soul physiques are formidable, their strength is too weak. To the likes of us, they are merely ant-like existences. But if we allow them to grow unchecked, the consequences would be too terrible to contemplate. Since this side has already been settled, let��s hurry over and help Lord Bloodmourn they all then. That side is of the utmost priority!��


    Wu Jia nodded, and the two people turned around and left.


    Over at the other side, the battle of Hegemons had already entered a white-hot stage.


    The likes of Yu Tian were all top powerhouses among Hegemon Realms. Their battle was virtually smashing the abyss apart.


    However, the Nirvanic Soul Clan indeed had greatly diminished combat power in this Sea of Evil.


    Plus, their numbers were not many, and signs of decline already appeared.


    With three races joining forces, the combat power was extraordinary.


    But right at this time, Lu��s figure suddenly came to a stop, as if he was petrified.


    Wu Jia��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Brother Lu, what��s wrong?��


    Lu��s expression changed, and he said, ��Not good! We were duped! Brother Wu Jia, chase after them!��


    Finished saying, he ignored Wu Jia, his figure turning around and immediately tearing across the air.


    Wu Jia had a confused look, not knowing what this Lu was going crazy over. But, he still followed.


    ��Brother Lu, what on earth happened?�� Wu Jia caught up to Lu and could not resist asking.


    ��We fell into that girl��s dream realm just now!�� Lu said.


    ��Dream realm? Hur, how is this possible? A mere Emperor Sakra Heaven can use dream realm to deceive the two of us at the same time? Let alone that there are so many Peak Hegemons fighting over there, how can it be what she, a measly little Emperor Sakra Heaven, can simulate?�� Wu Jia said in disapproval.


    Lu Daoyi had a solemn expression as he said, ��Half awake and half dreaming; that is when it��s the hardest to distinguish! Just now, she perfectly merged dreamland together with reality! Therefore, even if it��s you and I, it��s hard to detect too! If not for the dream realm dissipating just now, revealing a trace of extremely subtle undulation, even if it��s this seat, it��s hard to detect it too! This girl��s Cloud Dream Soul Physique has probably already surpassed the Meng Lan of back then! Luckily, she��s just Emperor Sakra Heaven. If she stepped into the realm of Hegemon, even if you and I died in the dreamland, it will be difficult to detect too!��


    With this, Wu Jian was shocked.


    If what Lu said was true, then it was really too terrifying!


    The dream realm set up by an Emperor Sakra Heaven, he actually did not detect it in the slightest!


    �� ��


    ��I really didn��t expect that you, this woman, are icy-cold, but you��re actually so strong!�� Ye Yuan marveled.


    When he ��revived from the dead,�� Ye Yuan felt that it was magical.


    That kind of feeling was too real.


    The dreamland that this woman set up actually made two great Hegemon Realms unable to detect it in the least bit.


    Then, she brought him away from under the two of their hands unknown to gods or ghosts.


    Ye Yuan examined his own conscience and felt that his willpower was extremely strong. Plus, he had cultivated the Divine Emergence. Nothing could bewitch his mind.


    But this time, he succumbed.


    ��Dream is born from the heart. It��s no idea how many levels higher than an illusory real! You��re not facing my spell, but facing your own heart! Although you cultivate Divine Emergence, your strength is too low. Falling into the dreamland is also within reason. After you reach my realm, I naturally won��t be able to waver your heart.��


    Ye Yuan was surprised. This woman was actually explaining things to him?


    But, thinking about it, he felt at ease too.


    His words saved the Nirvanic Soul Clan, reducing this woman��s enmity toward him.


    But this Cloud Dream Soul Physique was really strong!


    Ye Yuan thought that Hegemon Yu Tian being apprehensive of Cloudneon previously was because her background was strong, and she even had some connections to Hegemon Imperishable.


    But looking at it now, it was not necessarily so!


    Once this woman broke through to Hegemon Realm, it was very likely that she could have Yu Tian��s level of strength!


    Coupled with her powerful soul physique as well as Dream Recollection, no matter how strong Yu Tian was, he probably could not do anything to Cloudneon too.


    The two people were extremely fast, looking as if they were about to fly out of the Sea of Evil.


    But right at this time, an azure and a red, two incredibly powerful attacks, suddenly tore across the air and arrived!


    Cloudneon��s ten-thousand-year unchanging face also changed drastically at this time.


    Her palm thrust out, Ye Yuan��s figure flew out of the Sea of Evil involuntarily.


    While her aura skyrocketed, turning around to meet those two powerful attacks.


    Boom!


    Cloudneon��s soul body smashed heavily onto the ground like a kite with a broken string.


    Two figures appeared. Who could it be if not Wu Jia and Lu?


    Wu Jia smiled lightly and said, ��It��s still Brother Lu who��s formidable, seeing through this girl��s dream realm. Otherwise, the two of them would really have escaped!��

 Chapter 2959 - Mutual Destruction!

    Lu looked at the heavily injured Cloudneon and said with a smile, ��You didn��t expect that we saw through it so quickly, right? Lass, although you��re extremely talented, you can never underestimate a Hegemon Realm powerhouse!��


    Cloudneon had a frosty look as she said, ��Your Qi Soul Clan is asking a tiger for its skin. You��ll ultimately taste the disastrous consequences!��


    Wu Jia smiled and said, ��That��s just your one-sided wish! Your Nirvanic Soul Clan claims to be of the same ancestry and root as the soul race. But actually, the ones with the same ancestry and root are us! We��re both chaos races. We��re paramount existences! Our chaos races should rule the heavens in the first place! You all, these Nirvanic Soul Clan members, are merely some ghosts of small importance. What right do you all have to sit on equal footing as us?��


    Lu seemed to have seen through Cloudneon��s intention and said coolly, ��Don��t think about buying time. You know that a mere Emperor Cloud Heaven, even if you let him escape for two hours, it will also be a matter of an instant for us to catch up to him.��


    Hegemon Realm powerhouses, shattering the barrier of heavens and crossing worlds were a walk in the park.


    Catching up to a puny little Emperor Cloud Heaven was naturally effortless.


    Their auras had already locked onto Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan could not escape at all!


    Suddenly, Wu Jia��s and Lu��s expressions changed.


    They actually lost the locking on Ye Yuan��s aura!


    A hint of astonishment was revealed in the two persons�� eyes.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    How could a mere Emperor Cloud Heaven possibly escape their aura locking?


    ��Brother Wu Jia, I��ll have to trouble you to make a trip! Leave this girlie to me!�� Lu said in a solemn voice.


    Wu Jia nodded his head. His figure moved, chasing out of the Sea of Evil.


    Lu��s gaze turned cold, origin power blooming, charging over toward Cloudneon.


    Facing Cloudneon, even if Lu was an Hegemon Realm powerhouse, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest too.


    It was because he knew that the Cloud Dream Soul Physique back then killed a Hegemon under the besiegement of three great Hegemons!


    Therefore, he chose to sneak attack when Cloudneon two people lowered their guard just now.


    Otherwise, for a dignified Hegemon Realm powerhouse to actually sneak attacking an Emperor Sakra Heaven, he could not do it even if he was beaten to death.


    Too humiliating!


    But right now, Cloudneon��s injuries were extremely severe. It was much easier for him to deal with her.


    Cloudneon��s expression turned cold, dozens of origin power emerging from her body at once!


    Lu��s pupils constricted, drawing a cold breath.


    ��3000 Great Daos, it��s born in dreams! Indeed well-deserving of being the Cloud Dream Soul Physique! You lass actually already comprehended so many origins! Looks like you want to comprehend nine by nine, 81 origins, blasting open the Door of Eternal Life in one stroke, reaching the ranks of Peak Hegemon! Impressive! Truly impressive! But sadly, you don��t have the chance!�� Lu said with a loud laugh.


    Door of Eternal Life was not just a shackle. It was similarly a massive lucky chance!


    By opening the Door of Eternal Life, the origin comprehended in Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm would have a tremendous understanding, making one��s strength have a qualitative leap.


    Therefore, many geniuses were not in a hurry to knock open the Door of Eternal Life in Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm but comprehending origin as much as possible.


    Because after entering Hegemon Realm, each origin comprehended would spend countless time.


    The origin that Emperor Sakra Heavens comprehended was like the end of a thread. The power was not strong.


    But the function of the Door of Eternal Life was to pull this loose thread out, becoming a long rope.


    One could at most comprehend 81 origin powers in Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm!


    However, achieving 81 origin powers, it was just a legend.


    Those like Li Clearcloud, who could comprehend nine origins, were already extremely monstrous.


    But now, Cloudneon poured out dozens of origins at once. It could be seen how strong she was!


    However, Lu was merely just shocked. That was all. The Qi Soul Clan was born from chaos and had a natural understanding of origin.


    He, this Hegemon Realm, had already comprehended ten origins.


    Although in terms of quantity, he could not compare to Cloudneon this kind of genius. But in terms of quality, he had an overwhelming advantage!


    Boom!


    Cloudneon bore her heavy injuries and had a frontal confrontation with Lu.


    The two people each flew out backward!


    Lu was struck dumb with amazement, looking at Cloudneon with a look of shock, full of disbelief.


    He, an Hegemon Realm, was actually evenly matched with Cloudneon!


    ��This is impossible! You �� How did you do it?�� Lu said in shock.


    Cloudneon said in a cold voice, ��The strength of the Cloud Dream Soul Physique isn��t what you can imagine! The Qi Soul Clan boasts that you are a chaos race, then how much do you understand? The two of you great Hegemons, I��ll naturally have some fear. But, if it��s just you alone, I might not lose to you!��


    Lu said in rage, ��I don��t believe that I can��t take care of you, this little girl, today!��


    Under his violent rage, an even stronger soul force released with a loud bang.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The Hegemon level battle made even the void tremble.


    Although the scale of their fight could not compare to Yu Tian and the rest, it was also extremely fearsome.


    However, Lu discovered to his astonishment that Cloudneon��s strength was seriously too strong!


    He unleashed all of his abilities and could not defeat his opponent too.


    In a blink, he already sustained serious injuries.


    Of course, Cloudneon was not much better than him.


    At this time, the final outcome would be mutual destruction!


    However, the more this was the case, the more Lu knew that he could not let Cloudneon off.


    Otherwise, it would be a devastating blow to the Qi Soul Clan.


    Hegemon Imperishable could not be killed. If Cloudneon became a Hegemon and appeared, then all of the Qi Soul Clan��s glory would be trampled underfoot.


    Hence, he started risking his life.


    Executing one move after another, he planned on draining Cloudneon to death at the risk of his soul body being seriously injured.


    Boom!


    With another heaven-shocking move, Lu fell to the ground with a loud bang.


    His soul body was already extremely dim and not far from death anymore.


    However, seeing that Cloudneon was similarly seriously injured and on the verge of death, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile.


    ��H-Hur hur, you��re finally still going to die!�� Lu said with a smile.


    Suddenly, his pupils constricted, his eyes full of astonishment.


    Because his opponent, Cloudneon, actually changed!


    He blinked his eyes hard, wanting to prove that he had seen wrongly.


    But he discovered to his dismay that there was no mistake!


    Right now, the one lying opposite was not Cloudneon but Wu Jia!


    Lu shuddered. His feeble soul body actually started trembling.


    G-Got tricked!


    He actually fell into a dreamland again!


    Furthermore, he and Wu Jia actually fought until they were mutually defeated in the dreamland?


    N-No way, right?


    When did he fall into a dream realm?


    Furthermore, this time, he was already prepared. How could an exalted Hegemon Realm possibly fall so deep into a dream realm and not detect it in the slightest too?


    Lu felt his entire body turned icy-cold!


    This Cloud Dream Soul Physique coupled with the Dream Recollection were really too terrifying!


    Two great Hegemons actually fought until they were seriously injured on the verge of death before suddenly waking up from the dream!


    ��Why is it you! How can it be you? This �� This is impossible! Who I was fighting against was clearly that boy!��


    Not far away, Wu Jia��s unwilling angry roar also came over.


    At this time, two figures appeared quietly. Lu��s pupils constricted.


    These two people were precisely Ye Yuan and Cloudneon!


    It was just that Cloudneon��s soul body was currently faint. Clearly, she had sustained heavy wounds too.


    However, it was merely just being heavily wounded. She was not in danger of dying.


    But he and Wu Jia were different. It was effortless for Cloudneon to kill the two of them now!


    It was over!


    Completely over!


    How could this be?

 Chapter 2960 - Failing on the Verge of Complete Success!

    ��I didn��t expect that executing Divine Emergence and Dream Recollection at the same time would actually be so powerful!��


    Ye Yuan looked at the two great hegemons, who were seriously injured on the verge of death, and had a rueful look too.


    Just now, at the critical moment, the two people instinctively used Divine Emergence and Dream Recollection!


    The two people��s soul forces integrated together and actually unleashed an effect that far surpassed the two people��s strength.


    It was also that Cloudneon��s reaction was extremely fast. She made use of the favorable situation to push matters through with little effort, dragging the two of them into a dreamland along with the two great Hegemons�� attacks.


    These two great Hegemons were actually completely unaware!


    However, Cloudneon being seriously injured was real.


    And this was also the lure that activated the dream realm.


    In that moment, the dreamland completely erupted, and the two great Hegemons caught deeply in it.


    The two great Hegemons fell into the dream realm and thought that their opponent was Cloudneon and Ye Yuan, but it was simply the other party.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    All the way until the two people suffered mutual defeat!


    It seemed simple, but to make two great Hegemon Realm powerhouses fight all the way until impending death before breaking away from the dream realm, that was virtually unimaginable. This was especially true, considering that it was also under the circumstances that Lu was on the alert.


    Although Ye Yuan��s Divine Emergence was weak, his soul force was like a catalyst, strengthening the dreamland countless times when it encountered Cloudneon��s Dream Recollection.


    Cloudneon��s dream realm was extremely powerful to begin with.


    When there was this catalyzing effect, even two great Hegemons fell for the trick unknowingly.


    ��It��s not just due to these two great sacred canons! Just now, the two of our soul forces actually produced a resonance! This is the most important thing!�� Cloudneon said.


    Recalling that miraculous feeling just now, Ye Yuan could not help nodding.


    At that moment earlier, his soul force and Cloudneon��s soul force actually produced a resonant effect.


    It was not just Cloudneon; his soul force skyrocketed too.


    This kind of thing was simply inconceivable!


    Hearing these two people��s words, the two great Hegemons only felt that they had died so unjustly!


    Soul force resonance!


    This sort of thing was simply unheard of.


    Something that made no sense actually tricked two great Hegemons to death!


    One had to know that even though the two of them were far from being strong, they were not weaklings among Hegemon Realms too.


    Both Ye Yuan and Cloudnenon did not expect that they would actually succumb just like that.


    Cloudneon did not give these two people a chance, directly making a move, killing the two great Hegemons.


    Two great Hegemon Realm powerhouses died at the hands of two juniors just like that.


    ��Alright, you can go!�� Cloudneon said.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and said, ��You want to go back?��


    Cloudneon nodded and said, ��Lord Wang Ning��s kindness towards me is as weighty as a mountain. I can��t watch him die.��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I��m going to save Progenitor Imperishable. Do you want to come along?��


    Cloudneon gave him a glance, being rather surprised, and she said, ��Progenitor Imperishable is being besieged by three great Supreme Hegemons. With your bit of strength, going will be courting death too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That might not be the case! If the three of them want to trap Progenitor Imperishable, they will definitely have to pay an immense price. After coming out of the Seven-Colored Pagoda, I can feel that Progenitor Imperishable is very strong! Extremely strong! Perhaps we have an opportunity to exploit!��


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��This has nothing to do with you. Why do you want to go and save Progenitor Imperishable?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Haven��t you always been curious about what my objective is? Actually, my objective is Progenitor Imperishable! I need the Purple Ripple Umbrella!��


    ��Why?�� Cloudneon was incomparably surprised in her heart.


    This journey was too dangerous!


    One had to know that the ones besieging Progenitor Imperishable were three of the 33 Heavens�� top-most existences!


    Even if there was really an opportunity to exploit, they could huff you to death with a puff of breath.


    This fellow actually dared to go!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Talk about it again on the way! If we still don��t go, we won��t be able to leave anymore! Now is the best time to go and save Progenitor Imperishable! If the three great forces discover that this can��t be done, they might gather all of their forces to deal with Progenitor Imperishable! At that time, wanting to save him will be as hard as ascending to heaven!��


    ��Go!�� Cloudneon made a prompt decision.


    �� ��


    Four hours later, several figures tore across space and arrived.


    The person in front was precisely Bloodmourn.


    His expression was very ugly.


    The plan completely failed!


    Although the Nirvanic Soul Clan suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it did not hurt their foundation.


    Of the five great regions�� leaders, only North Soul Region��s Hegemon died.


    Although Yu Tian, Wang Ning, and the rest suffered serious injuries, they killed their way out of the encirclement in the end.


    Of the ten great Hegemons, they only held three behind!


    The other seven all escaped.


    Bloodmourn was currently bringing people to hunt Yu Tian down.


    On the one hand, it was because Ye Yuan��s words gave them fighting spirit.


    On the other hand, it was also Ye Yuan two people��s appearance that scattered their fighting power.


    What was even more damnable was that four hours had passed, and Wu Jia and Lu actually still had not returned!


    Suddenly, Bloodmourn��s figure stopped, and he said, ��Stop!��


    Beside him, another blood race Hegemon��s expression changed, and he said, ��Lord Bloodmourn, this �� this is Wu Jia��s aura! T-There��s also the Qi Soul Clan��s Lu!��


    Bloodmourn��s expression was heavy, and he nodded his head.


    As a Peak Hegemon, his perception was extremely acute.


    Upon arriving here, he felt a wisp of aura, which was left behind by Wu Jia and Lu.


    They had just died. The aura of origin had not dissipated yet.


    Tumultuous waves were set off in Bloodmourn��s heart.


    Two great Hegemons chased after an origin Emperor Sakra Heaven, an Emperor Cloud Heaven, and they actually all died?


    ��How is this possible? They �� actually all died?�� That Hegemon cried out in alarm.


    Two Hegemons died at once. This was absolutely a major shocking thing!


    Each Hegemon was extremely precious.


    Counting the two Hegemons that died during the besiegement, they had four Hegemons die at once in this battle!


    This mortality rate was actually even greater than that of the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s!


    Wu Jia two people��s demise, also made this besiegement battle become a complete and utter joke.


    Three factions mobilized 23 Hegemons. The casualty was actually even higher than the Nirvanic Soul Clan that was caught off-guard!


    If the three great Supreme Hegemons knew about it, they would probably fly into a thunderous rage.


    ��What? Hegemon Wu Jia and Hegemon Lu actually both fell? How is this possible?��


    ��That Cloud Dream Soul Physique is actually so strong? She��s just origin Emperor Sakra Heaven, and she could actually kill two Hegemons already?��


    ��Really damn it! Our battle was a complete failure!��


    �� ��


    When those origin powerhouses heard the exclamations of the Hegemons, each and every one of them was dumbfounded.


    They never dreamed that the battle situation would actually turn out like this.


    Bloodmourn shook his head and said, ��Although that lass is formidable, it��s absolutely impossible to kill Wu Jia they all! Something that we don��t know must have happened during this! It��s just that no matter what, things are already very serious now! Putting aside Yu Tian they all, one Cloud Dream Soul Physique, one Imperishable Soul Physique, these two juniors are too dangerous!��


    The others felt the same too.


    No matter what had transpired, two great Hegemons had indeed died!


    Even if the war had been fought until now, not many Hegemon Realms had died too.


    But today, so many had actually fallen all at once.


    What worried Bloodmourn the most was still Cloudneon and Ye Yuan.


    No matter what, they already had the means to kill Hegemon Realms.


    This was terrifying!

 Chapter 2961 - A Small Lake!

    Imperishable Soul Domain, Central Soul Region!


    A group of remnant troops gathered together, their expressions very heavy.


    Several Peak Hegemons all had faint soul bodies at this time, close to dissipating.


    In order to escape, they paid a terrible price too.


    North Soul Region��s ancestor, Hegemon Wu Wen, held back three Hegemons by himself in order to cover the other people��s departure and died on the spot!


    At this time, the atmosphere in the Central Soul Region��s main hall was depressed to the extreme.


    ��Old Ghost Yu Tian still hasn��t come back until now. It��s likely fraught with grim possibilities!�� South Soul Region��s ancestor, Hegemon Zhi Zhen, said with a heavy look.


    ��Sigh, Old Ghost Wu Wen �� is gone just like that! Old Ghost Yu Tian��s and Progenitor Imperishable��s life and death are unknown. Our Nirvanic Soul Clan has really encountered a huge crisis this time! If Old Ghost Yu Tian is dead too, then the three of us really won��t know what to do!�� West Soul Region��s old woman, Hegemon Xi Mian, was in dejection.


    Ancestor Wang Ning did not say a word, but his expression was similarly heavy.


    Suddenly, the void trembled, and a figure fell with a loud bang!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    ��Old Ghost Yu Tian!�� When the three Hegemons saw the arrival, they could not help being overjoyed.


    This figure that fell was precisely Hegemon Yu Tian, who returned with heavy injuries!


    The current Hegemon Yu Tian was very miserable. His soul body was incomplete. Saying that it was a remnant soul was also not overboard.


    ��Old Ghost Yu Tian, are you alright?�� Hegemon Zhi Zhen asked in concern.


    But no dismay could be seen on Hegemon Yu Tian��s face at all. Instead, he had an excited look.


    Zhi Zhen few people exchanged glances, wondering to themselves if this old thing was beaten silly?


    We��re already miserable until like this, and you��re still in the mood to smile?


    ��I��m fine. I won��t die! Hahaha �� Satisfying!�� Yu Tian said with a loud laugh.


    The three people had baffled faces, not knowing what this guy was being happy about.


    Old Ghost Wu Wen was already dead, and everyone sustained serious injuries. Shouldn��t you be a little pessimistic?


    ��Old Ghost Yu Tian, were you beaten silly? Our Nirvanic Soul Clan suffered our greatest crisis in history. You��re actually still in the mood to laugh?�� Xi Mian said with a livid face.


    Yu Tian smiled and said, ��Why can��t Your Father laugh? Bloodmourn, Jun Yi, these few damn things exhausted all of their brain power, wanting to round us up in one fell swoop! In the end, they suffered a double loss. Their casualties are even more disastrous than ours! Tell me, should Your Father laugh or not? Those three old things expended God knows how great a price for the sake of the set-up this time. Now, it has all been for naught! Tell me, should Your Father laugh or not? Hahaha ����


    The three people exchanged glances, feeling baffled again.


    They were certain that this guy was beaten silly!


    ��Enough! Stop laughing! Old Ghost Wu Wen is already dead. Which eye of yours saw that their casualties are worse than ours?�� Xi Mian reproached.


    Yu Tian chuckled and said, ��We had a Peak Hegemon die. They had one die too! But those two who hunted Ye Yuan and Cloudneon down are both dead! Tell me, does Your Father feel great or not?��


    Regarding this battle, Yu Tian was stifled badly.


    Three great races joined forces to deal with the Nirvanic Soul Clan. It was too hidden, too despicable. It made Yu Tian keep on holding his anger in his heart.


    But when he passed by the place where Wu Jia and Lu died, he felt it!


    But at that time, Bloodmourn was pursuing closely behind. He did not dare to stay either.


    But at that time, he felt frustration being given vent in his heart!


    Now, he escaped with his life. He could not resist anymore and burst out laughing.


    But when Xi Mian three people heard this, they did not laugh but had doubtful faces.


    ��You��re sure that those two are both dead?�� Wang Ning said with a frown.


    He also felt that Yu Tian was beaten silly.


    How could two little brats possibly kill two great Hegemons?


    Yu Tian��s face turned black, and he said in a great rage, ��Do you all really take Your Father to be stupid? The fall of a Hegemon, the origin undulation is so intense. Can Your Father not sense it? Those two have indeed died! Heh, if not for Bloodmourn that old thing stopping to investigate back then, Your Father really might not have been able to escape back!��


    With these, the three people were shocked.


    ��How is this possible?�� Wang Ning said.


    Yu Tian snorted coldly and said, ��Although I don��t know what��s going on either, it��s true that those two Hegemons are dead! Plus, with the two that were killed by us, they have lost a total of four Hegemons! In this battle, we gained a huge advantage! With two great Hegemons dying, this matter can��t be concealed. News will transmit over very quickly! At that time, you guys will know!��


    Wang Ning three people felt that it was too inconceivable. This kind of exterminating besiegement, it was actually their side that gained the advantage?


    If it was really as Yu Tian said, then they really should be laughing out loud.


    Before long, this great battle shook the entire Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven!


    Three great races actually joined hands to deal with the Imperishable Soul Domain!


    This news was earth-shattering!


    But, what shocked people even more was that three races besieged the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s Hegemons, and their casualties were actually even more than the Nirvanic Soul Clan!


    For some time, the entire Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven was shocked.


    �� ��


    ��It��s here. The aura of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique disappeared in this small lake. If my guesses are correct, Progenitor Imperishable should have entered the lake,�� Ye Yuan pointed at a lake in front and said.


    He and Cloudneon had been tracking all the way, arriving at this small lake after spending a month��s time.


    This lake was situated in the Qi Soul Clan��s hinterland. It looked very unassuming.


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��You��re sure? You��re not lying to me? There are no traces of any battle at all here!��


    For Hegemon Realms, especially the battle between Supreme Hegemons, their battles were absolutely heaven-shocking.


    If Progenitor Imperishable was really here, it was impossible for her not to feel it at all.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your Cloud Dream Soul Physique is extremely formidable, but this person who laid down the camouflage, their Formation Dao attainments has already reached the acme of perfection! It��s very normal that you can��t tell.��


    Cloudneon was somewhat angry. This guy was clearly just an Emperor Cloud Heaven, but his cocky appearance really pissed people off!


    However, she really could not tell that there was any camouflage here.


    ��You��re saying that there��s someone guarding here?�� Cloudneon said.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Just one person! But with this one holding down the fort, they can probably withstand a hundred by themselves. I didn��t expect that a human Hegemon would actually dare to be a lackey!��


    Although Cloudneon thought otherwise, she also knew that the matter was of utmost importance.


    While she could not figure the situation out, she still decided to trust Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, once any accident arose, the two of their small lives would be finished too.


    ��Then what should we do now?�� Cloudneon said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If the two of us join hands, so what even if it��s a Hegemon? You execute your dream realm and cover this lake. We��ll swagger our way in!��


    Hence, a dreamland quietly covered the lake, and the two people fumbled their way over quietly.


    Cloudneon discovered to her surprise that the trail that Ye Yuan took was extremely strange.


    Sometimes, it would be forward. Other times, he would step back, going round and round, like walking through a maze.


    Suddenly, Cloudneon��s pupils constricted!


    An old man was sitting quietly on the surface of the lake just like that, with his eyes shut.


    Hegemon powerhouse!


    Prior to this, she actually did not detect at all!


    Cloudneon knew that Ye Yuan was right in the end!


    In this inconspicuous place, to let a Hegemon set up a camouflage and guard the area, this place must be very fishy!

 Chapter 2962 - Chaotic Origins!

    ��It��s actually him! This guy actually sought refuge with the blood race too. Looks like our Nirvanic Soul Clan is really surrounded by enemies on all fronts!��


    ��You know him?��


    ��He��s the human race��s Hegemon Inkcloud. His strength isn��t beneath that Hegemon Lu! Especially in Formation Dao, he has already reached the acme of perfection.��


    ��Oh, actually, you don��t need to be anxious either. After you enter Hegemon Realm, you can match ten Hegemon Realms. You look! You��re standing in front of him right now. And he can��t even see you?��


    �� ��


    In the dream realm, Cloudneon and Ye Yuan were currently talking opposite of Hegemon Inkcloud, but Hegemon Inkcloud was oblivious.


    This Hegemon Inkcloud��s strength was very strong, but Cloudneon and Ye Yuan two people joining forces had entrapped two great Hegemons to death. He was no big deal.


    Of course, if they wanted to kill Hegemon Inkcloud, it could not be done.


    Dreamland was born from the heart. Cloudneon being able to entrap Wu Jia and Lu to death, it was by exploiting their desire to kill them, making the two people kill each other and die.


    Making them kill themselves on their own, that was impossible.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    If Hegemons were so easy to kill, then they would be worthless too.


    But it was also precisely because of this that even those Hegemons felt that it was inconceivable.


    ��Alright, let��s go down. Hegemon Imperishable should have entered another space, and the entrance is right below this lake,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Cloudneon nodded and sank to the bottom of the lake together with Ye Yuan.


    The lake was not large, but it was very deep.


    Not long after the two people sank to the bottom of the lake, a cluster of gloomy light was very eye-catching.


    Clearly, this was the entrance to another space.


    Entering the spatial passageway, the scenery before the two people��s eyes suddenly changed.


    A desolate slaughter atmosphere hit them head-on.


    Cloudneon��s and Ye Yuan��s expressions changed wildly, their soul bodies virtually going to be torn to shreds by the wild gale here.


    ��What a terrifying place. This place should be an ancient battlefield. Furthermore, the origin powerhouses who died will probably have to be counted in millions!�� Ye Yuan drew a cold breath and said.


    This place was completely a savage battlefield of origin powerhouses!


    On the battlefield, there were utterly disorderly origins everywhere, wreaking havoc everywhere. It was as if they were still fighting.


    If ordinary people came here, just the chaotic origins were sufficient to reduce them to ashes.


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan two people��s soul bodies were different from the rest. That was how they barely managed to hold out..


    By the side, Cloudneon suddenly said, ��Ye Yuan, I seem to have �� comprehended.��


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. Turning around to look, he discovered that Cloudneon��s soul body was actually dissipating!


    His gaze could not help turning intent, immediately understanding something.


    The Cloud Dream Soul Physique and Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique achieved the same wondrous effect with different means.


    Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was born from chaos and could transform into myriad Dao.


    And the Cloud Dream Soul Physique belonged to nothingness, feeling the growth of myriad Dao with dreamland.


    These two great soul bodies had a natural advantage in the comprehension of origin.


    There were countless chaotic origins here. It was simply a paradise for gaining enlightenment on Dao to their two soul physiques!


    Cloudneon��s realm had long already reached the grand completion realm of Emperor Sakra Heaven. The origins that she gained enlightenment on had already reached as many as several dozen too.


    Now, this opportunity to break through arrived!


    However, Ye Yuan also understood that this was a lucky chance, and there was also tremendous danger.


    There were tens of millions of disorderly origins here. The strength of the origins was not uniform. Many similar origins had different directions of comprehension too. A single misstep and one would be lost in it.


    The current situation was somewhat like the Lucid Forest.


    It was just that this place was full of origins!


    Compared to the Lucid Forest, this place was much higher level.


    Furthermore, the Lucid Forest was actually within the scope of rules. But there were no rules here. It was completely a chaotic land!


    Cloudneon already entered the state of sudden epiphany virtually without needing to deliberately comprehend.


    Ye Yuan thought about it but still did not wake Cloudneon up.


    This was her lucky chance. Life and death, it was controlled by and up to her. He did not have the right to interfere.


    Drawing a deep breath, Ye Yuan walked forward.


    The further he walked, the more difficult it became for Ye Yuan to extricate himself.


    One origin after another seemed to drill into his own soul.


    That sort of temptation was simply without equal.


    That was the allure of becoming a supreme powerhouse!


    Gaining enlightenment on Dao here, he could climb to the summit and become the strongest Hegemon in this world!


    Hegemon Imperishable might be nothing more than this too!


    Ye Yuan��s eyes became more and more dazed.


    His soul body also completely transformed into the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique already left his control, deriving all kinds of origin power on its own!


    Under such an environment, the temptation was simply fatal to the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    Ye Yuan discovered that his own consciousness had started to blur.


    ��Damn! My soul physique isn��t strong enough yet. This place is the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique��s paradise but not my paradise! At this rate, my consciousness is going to be completely wiped out, becoming a part of these countless chaotic origins!��


    Ye Yuan was burning with anxiety. He was very clear that currently, he was already at the most dangerous moment.


    But he had no way of reversing this situation.


    His soul body was completely out of control!


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he would actually suddenly fall into danger.


    This state was like the common saying that a feeble body could not take tonics.


    His strength, his soul body, was simply not capable of enduring such terrifying origin power.


    But, his soul body was still absorbing it in spite of himself!


    �� ��


    In the depths of the ancient battlefield, four powerful forces were entangled together.


    These four powers seemed to have already reached a delicate balance, appearing very calm.


    These four people were naturally four great Supreme Hegemons.


    ��Heh heh, two babies who haven��t even reached Hegemon Realm actually barged into the God Bewildering Battlefield! Inkcloud that brat is really a good-for-nothing! Furthermore, it��s actually the Cloud Dream Soul Physique and the real Imperishable Soul Physique! Old Ghost Imperishable, with this, you have a successor!�� A sinister and charming voice came from the void.


    This void came from Hegemon Evil Dragon of the abyss.


    ��Humph!�� Progenitor Imperishable snorted coldly.


    He knew that this evil dragon was intentionally making digs at him.


    However, he was also extremely surprised in his heart. In this period of time that he was not around, the Nirvanic Soul Clan actually had a second Imperishable Soul Physique appear!


    This was the real Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!


    As a Supreme Hegemon, he could naturally sense it.


    ��That lass with the Cloud Dream Soul Physique is still alright. She might still have a slight chance of survival. But that Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique brat is somewhat overestimating his own ability. Hur hur, you look. His consciousness is about to dissipate right away! This place is one of the battlefields where all the heavens annihilated the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then. The origin powerhouses who died reached as high as a million! The likes of him, a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven, actually dare to enter this place too!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said with a snicker.


    ��Old Ghost Imperishable, these two babies are clearly here to save you. Looks like this Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique still sensed the origin that you left behind. It��s just that the Nirvanic Soul Clan actually sent these two little fellows over. I reckon that Yu Tian, those few brats, have already died out. Do you still want to continue struggling?�� The one speaking was Hegemon Bloodsong.


    Hegemon Imperishable snorted coldly and said, ��The three of you exhausted every power of your mind, but what can you do to me? At most, the four of us perish together! Do you really think that my title of imperishable is called in vain?��

 Chapter 2963 - Hegemon Imperishables Requiem!

    ��Heh, Old Ghost Imperishable, you don��t need to be unruly with us either! Your strength has indeed exceeded our imaginations, but reaching our realm, you��re not willing to die just like that either, right? If you really had this determination, you also wouldn��t be dawdling with us here.��


    With regards to Hegemon Imperishable��s threat, Hegemon Evil Dragon just laughed disdainfully.


    Although the present situation was far beyond their expectations, nobody could hide their thoughts from anyone.


    Reaching this level of realm, no one was a fool.


    Hegemon Imperishable just snorted coldly. Clearly, he had tacitly acknowledged Evil Dragon��s statement.


    ��Moreover, we��re not here to kill you either. As long as you��re trapped here, that��s enough! After those descendants of yours have died out, we can let you out too,�� Hegemon Bloodsong said with a laugh, looking like he had cornered Hegemon Imperishable.


    ��Mn? That kid��s strength is too weak. His consciousness is already almost dissipating,�� Heavenly Soul said.


    Sure enough, Ye Yuan��s consciousness was already disorderly and confused.


    Once his consciousness dispersed, the soul body would be a masterless object, and one would be considered to be completely dead.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s residual consciousness still had a strong reluctance.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    ��The Purple Ripple Umbrella is already right before my eyes!��


    ��I can save Lingxue right away. How can I die just like this?��


    ��No way! I can��t die!��


    ��Absolutely not!��


    �� ��


    This intense unwillingness made his consciousness still remain there.


    Even if it was just an insignificant trace, it was like a feeble spark, stubbornly not dissipating.


    Saving Mu Lingxue, this breath, had already supported him until now. He was absolutely not willing to give up now!


    Two hours, four hours ��


    In a blink of an eye, a day passed. The four great Hegemons all thought that Ye Yuan was already dead for sure.


    But he actually held on stubbornly just like that.


    With this, the four great Hegemons were shocked.


    The four of them mutually restrained each other and were bored out of their minds.


    Ye Yuan and Cloudneon��s arrival brought them a trace of fun.


    Therefore, their attention was placed on these two people very naturally.


    Compared to Cloudneon, Ye Yuan was naturally a little more worth paying attention to.


    It was because he was about to die right away.


    ��This boy has such a powerful will! Like this and he��s still not dead!�� Hegemon Evil Dragon marveled.


    ��This seat wants to see just how long this kid can last,�� Bloodsong said.


    Heavenly Soul smiled and said, ��Hur hur, it��s boring too. Why don��t we bet how long this boy can last?��


    Evil Dragon laughed and said, ��Haha, good idea! This boy��s willpower is indeed very strong. This seat bets that he can last ten days!��


    Bloodsong also smiled and said, ��I��ll bet 15 days!��


    But Heavenly Soul smiled and said, ��There are a million origins here. This kid is like a drop of water that fell into the sea. How long more can he last? In the end, he can only be assimilated! I bet that he absolutely can��t last three days! Old Ghost Imperishable, you��re of the Imperishable Soul Physique too. What do you think?��


    The one who understood the Imperishable Soul Physique best was naturally Hegemon Imperishable.


    Hegemon Imperishable was silent for a while and said, ��Three months!��


    The moment these words came out, the three great Hegemons all burst out laughing.


    Clearly, this was a joke.


    Although you��re of the Imperishable Supreme Hegemon, don��t treat us, these Supreme Hegemons, as morons either.


    Like this, he could last three months?


    ��Old Ghost Imperishable, do you feel that it��s very boring now, and you��re teasing the few of us?�� Heavenly Soul could not help laughing as he said.


    ��Forget about this boy, even if it��s this seat back then, under this sort of environment, I can��t last a month too! You��re actually saying that this boy can last three months?�� Hegemon Bloodsong laughed in spite of himself.


    ��In this place, there��s not a trace of other variables. His consciousness is already close to disappearing. If he can last three months, this seat will pluck my head off for you to kick!�� Hegemon Evil Dragon said disdainfully.


    Hegemon Imperishable gave him a glance and said coolly, ��Then be prepared to pluck your head off.��


    Finished saying, he shut up and stopped talking.


    Regarding Ye Yuan, this second true Imperishable Soul Physique, Hegemon Imperishable naturally paid great attention.


    He seemed to have seen himself back then from Ye Yuan.


    Not the Imperishable Soul Physique, but the person!


    That sort of unwillingness to be outdone by others, that sort of stubborn unyieldingness, he saw it from Ye Yuan.


    Back then, in order to lead the Nirvanic Soul Clan to rise, he challenged the entire Qi Soul Clan with his power alone.


    That sort of difficulty was absolutely hell-level.


    How many times had he narrowly escaped death; how many ups and downs he had; he relied on his astonishing willpower to pull through.


    But, as an Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, he knew Ye Yuan too well.


    Without something that could influence the situation, it was impossible for him to pull through!


    Ye Yuan came to the wrong place!


    If Ye Yuan entered at origin realm, this place would definitely be a paradise.


    But he was currently too weak!


    Right now, this God Bewildering Battlefield was the nightmare of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    Therefore, he felt that three months was the limit.


    Very soon, three days passed.


    The first to get slapped was Hegemon Heavenly Soul.


    Heavenly Soul��s expression was very ugly as he said in a solemn voice, ��This brat is really a rock in the latrine, smelly and hard. What��s the point of holding on like this?��


    Hegemon Imperishable smiled coldly and said, ��Hence, that��s why you, this idiot, would be surpassed by this seat!��


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul��s face turned black, and he said in a great rage, ��Imperishable, you��re courting death!��


    Hegemon Imperishable was indifferent and said coolly, ��Is that so? If you want to perish together, bring it on!��


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul gave a cold snort and stopped talking.


    When Hegemon Imperishable was a nobody, he was already a Supreme Hegemon.


    But countless years had passed, and Hegemon Imperishable��s strength had already surpassed him.


    Got to admit, this sort of thing was very disgraceful.


    If not because the Qi Soul Clan still had a Hegemon Samsara, they would really be completely suppressed by the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    It was just that Hegemon Samsara��s status was transcendent, traveling the myriad worlds. He did not ask about the soul race��s affairs at all.


    If not for this existence, Hegemon Heavenly Soul would have long been unable to suppress the Nirvanic Soul Clan.


    Ten days later, Hegemon Evil Dragon was slapped in the face.


    ��This boy is also too monstrous, right? Does he feel that he can really go against the heavens?�� Evil Dragon said somewhat glumly.


    Later on, after 15 days, Hegemon Bloodsong was slapped too.


    This boy actually really survived for 15 days!


    This �� How was this possible?


    ��Forcibly hold on like this doesn��t have any meaning at all! It��s absolutely impossible for him to survive,�� Bloodsong shook his head and said with a sigh.


    Time passed day by day, 15 days, 20 days, a month!


    Three months were up!


    This time, even Hegemon Imperishable was slapped in the face too!


    Because Ye Yuan lasted three months!


    With this, the four great Supreme Hegemons were really shocked.


    ��Just what kind of unfulfilled wishes does this boy have? Hanging on with this one breath, is he going to hold on until heaven and earth turn old? Hur hur, Old Ghost Imperishable, looks like you��ve miscalculated too!�� Hegemon Evil Dragon said with a laugh.


    Hegemon Imperishable let out a sigh and said, ��Young man, give up. It��s too hard for you to hold on like this. There��s no meaning!��


    Hegemon Imperishable��s words carried a requiem effect, directly reaching Ye Yuan��s last trace of consciousness.


    But he completely did not expect that his one sentence was like throwing a bunch of withered grass on the spark!


    Instantly, the spark reignited!

 Chapter 2964 - Blessing in the Disguise of Misfortune!

    These Hegemons were all clear that being able to hang on with one breath and not die, there must be some unfulfilled wishes.


    Just like mortals, when lying in a coma, if they had any unfulfilled wishes, they would refuse to shut their eyes no matter what.


    Hegemon Imperishable knew that the current Ye Yuan was in far too much hardship.


    Therefore, this requiem was to help him be free.


    But, the one who spoke was him, Hegemon Imperishable!


    The perception between Enshrouding Mist Soul Physiques was completely ignited at this moment.


    Hegemon Imperishable��s voice was hope to Ye Yuan!


    Actually, the current Ye Yuan already had little consciousness.


    But Hegemon Imperishable��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was like a clap of thunder, exploding in his last strand of consciousness.


    What was his obsession?


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    Wasn��t it to meet Hegemon Imperishable and borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella?


    The resonance between Enshrouding Mist Soul Physiques made the Ye Yuan, who was in the chaos, instantly find the lighthouse, finding the direction home.


    The four great Supreme Hegemons were all struck senseless.


    ��What��s going on here? Old Ghost Imperishable, what kind of trickery did you do? This kid actually came back to life again?�� Hegemon Evil Dragon said with shock all over his face.


    Hegemon Imperishable himself also had a stunned look and said, ��This seat didn��t do anything! I just saw that he was in too much suffering, and let him be free with a requiem sound. This �� I don��t know what��s going on either.��


    While Hegemon Heavenly Soul said with a strange look, ��Really seeing ghosts! You helped to appease his soul; not only was he not freed, his consciousness became increasingly stronger instead! Mn? He��s starting to control the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique!��


    ��His Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique unconsciously comprehended origins in so many origins. Origin seeds have probably already been planted in his soul body. When his realm is reached, these origin seeds will take root and germinate! This was simply a massive lucky chance for him!�� When speaking, Hegemon Evil Dragon was even somewhat jealous.


    Ye Yuan��s situation, if he died, everything was naturally over.


    But not dying, then the benefits would be unimaginable to him.


    The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was born from chaos to begin with. It was extremely sensitive to origins.


    Under a conscious state, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was limited by individual talent, and the comprehension would be limited in the end.


    But, under an unconscious state, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was completely comprehending origins on instinct.


    Finally, Ye Yuan��s soul body condensed and formed again. He also felt his own soul body��s chances.


    Inside this Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, there seemed to be many origin powers that appeared correct but were really wrong.


    His realm had not reached yet. This response was very blurry.


    But he knew that the power of each origin was extremely precious.


    Origins could not be comprehended because you wanted to?


    For a Great Dao, only by cultivating the power of rules to the realm of grand completion could one have the chance to comprehend origin.


    Ye Yuan��s Dao was not yet perfect. He did not have too clear an understanding of these origin powers.


    But the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique recorded the ��sensations�� of these origins in his body.


    Ye Yuan could find the direction of Great Dao by following these ��sensations.��


    This was equivalent to saying that each Great Dao had a beacon light!


    To Ye Yuan, cultivation would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.


    ��I didn��t expect that I actually had a blessing come to me in the disguise of misfortune. Hegemon Imperishable wanted to help me be free. But he didn��t expect that it would actually let me grab the last strand of life-saving straw. The matters of the world are indeed hard to predict,�� Ye Yuan said ruefully.


    He knew how dangerous his previous state was.


    If it was anyone else, it would have been impossible to reawaken his consciousness too.


    Converging his mind, Ye Yuan did not remain anymore and continued deeper in.


    The surrounding origins became more and more, but it was already inconsequential to Ye Yuan.


    His realm was limited, and the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was already satiated. It was impossible to absorb more origins.


    Following the direction of Hegemon Imperishable��s voice, Ye Yuan chased after.


    Along the way, there were scenes of desolation!


    Clearly, the four great Supreme Hegemons had experienced an extremely horrifying battle.


    ��Heh, interesting. This boy really came over to find you! He came in together with that girl. It��s probably for the sake of you, Old Ghost Imperishable, right? A human brat, wonder what goal he has,�� Hegemon Evil Dragon said with a strange laugh.


    Ye Yuan��s paltry cultivation realm naturally could not deceive these Supreme Hegemons.


    Actually, as soon as he entered the God Bewildering Battlefield, the four great Hegemons could see through it.


    Therefore, with regards to Ye Yuan��s life and death, they all did not care too much, inclusive of Hegemon Imperishable.


    ��After he comes, wouldn��t we know then,�� Hegemon Imperishable said coolly.


    Along the way, he did not encounter any dangers.


    Whatever danger was gone after the four great Supreme Hegemons�� battle too.


    Ye Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and saw a blue-colored giant dragon hovering at the horizon, an enormous blood lake, and also a big and tall celestial deity!


    But these three were bogged down in a mass of enshrouding mist.


    Without a doubt, these were the four great Supreme Hegemons.


    However, Ye Yuan saw a large purple umbrella in this region of mist.


    The purple-colored halo emitted by that large umbrella made the misty air shine purple.


    When Ye Yuan saw it, his entire body could not help trembling!


    There was no doubt that it was the Purple Ripple Umbrella!


    ��Human brat, don��t tell this seat that you��re here to save Old Ghost Imperishable,�� Evil Dragon said with a smile that was not a smile.


    Having his identity be seen through, Ye Yuan was not surprised and said with a nod, ��What Senior said is right. I��m here to save Hegemon Imperishable.��


    ��Hahaha �� Get lost! Just based on your bit of strength, it��s still far lacking!�� Evil Dragon said with a loud laugh.


    To the four great Supreme Hegemons, Ye Yuan was just a little bug.


    Puff a breath of air and he would be gone.


    But Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Seniors, let it go. Your plan has already completely failed.��


    The moment these words came out, the three people stiffened up noticeably.


    Bloodsong smiled coldly and said, ��A mere Emperor Cloud Heaven also dares to engage in wild talks in front of this seat! Do you not believe that this seat will exterminate you right now?!��


    ��I don��t believe it!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Hegemon Bloodsong, if you had this ability, would you still talk rubbish with an ant like me here? Therefore, the three of you can only take a beating from me now.��


    The title of Supreme Hegemon was indeed scary, but it would also depend on who you were scaring.


    It looked like these three people were seemingly joining hands to deal with Hegemon Imperishable currently.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long seen through. These four people had reached a delicate balance.


    Whoever broke this equilibrium, the outcome would definitely be very miserable.


    At this point, the only way was for the four people to pull back at the same time.


    Sure enough, the moment Ye Yuan said it, the expressions of the three great Hegemons became ugly to the extreme.


    A little bug actually dared to swagger and bluster in front of them!


    ��I really underestimated you, this brat! Pretty good eyesight! But do you think that based on your strength, you can cause any harm to us?�� Evil Dragon said disdainfully.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Maybe I can!��


    Evil Dragon laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Hahaha, then you come and try it, see if you can scratch your Lord Dragon��s itch!��


    ��Mn, you wait for a moment.��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head in earnest, but he cast Evil Dragon to one side and said to Hegemon Imperishable, ��Hegemon Imperishable, I want to borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella!��

 Chapter 2965 - Meathead!

    Evil Dragon was ticked off!


    He was actually being ignored!


    He, Hegemon Evil Dragon, was born from chaos. The moment he was born, he was a Hegemon powerhouse and had always been standing at the apex of all the heavens.


    Today, he was actually being underestimated like this by an Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Wait a moment?


    What was called wait a moment!


    Could you freaking give me, this Supreme Hegemon, a little respect?


    Hegemon Imperishable was shocked too!


    This boy asked for the Purple Ripple Umbrella the moment he opened his mouth.


    Could it be that he did not know what the Purple Ripple Umbrella meant to him?


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    ��Impudent thing! After this seat gets out, I��ll definitely use the fire of evil dragon to burn you for 9999 years, casting you into eternal damnation!�� Evil Dragon said with a furious roar.


    Ye Yuan ignored him but stared at Hegemon Imperishable and said, ��I saved the Nirvanic Soul Clan, resolving their three races�� besiegement against Hegemon Yu Tian they all! Now, I��ll help you to get out and heavily wound the three of them! I wonder if these two favors are enough or not?��


    Before Hegemon Imperishable spoke, Hegemon Heavenly Soul smiled coldly and said, ��Little fellow, before you talk big, can you look at the target first or not? You, a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven, can disrupt the all-encompassing net that our three races joined hands to lay down? Dozens of Hegemons are there. A sneeze from each person and you won��t even have residue remaining! You��re insulting Old Ghost Imperishable��s intellect by saying this!��


    Hegemon Imperishable said coolly, ��Wanting to let me believe you, you have to display your strength first. What you said is indeed too exaggerated.��


    Indeed, what Ye Yuan said, the four great Hegemons did not believe a word.


    Forget about Ye Yuan; even if an ordinary Hegemon Realm was standing here, they would not even believe it.


    A war that engulfed four great races, a battle that involved dozens of Hegemons, how could it be what you, a puny little Emperor Cloud Heaven, could influence?


    Hegemon Imperishable��s meaning was very clear: want to make me believe, eradicate the three of them before talking.


    However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said coolly, ��You swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now. I only need the Purple Ripple Umbrella for three months! Otherwise, I can only cripple the four of you thoroughly, then force you to hand over the Purple Ripple Umbrella.��


    These words were arrogant to the extreme.


    In the 33 Heavens, someone who dared to say such words to these four people upfront probably had not been born yet.


    Yet, he, Ye Yuan, dared to say it.


    However, Ye Yuan was compelled against his will too.


    He saw through that Hegemon Imperishable was extremely vigilant toward him.


    This kind of existence, joy and anger were unpredictable.


    If he refused to hand over the Purple Ripple Umbrella, even if he saved him, he might kill him afterward.


    The Purple Ripple Umbrella was too important to Hegemon Imperishable.


    This item, even if it was someone closest to him, he probably would not lend it out either.


    The reason why he could fight one-versus-three, while it was because the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique was incomparably powerful, it was also because of the existence of the Purple Ripple Umbrella.


    It was just that when these words were uttered, even Hegemon Imperishable jumped in fright too.


    You��re freaking teasing me, right?


    ��Hahaha �� Old Ghost Imperishable, I even thought that this boy was here to save you, didn��t expect that he��s here to kill you! Pray tell, are you scared or not?�� Evil Dragon said with a loud laugh.


    Hegemon Imperishable was speechless.


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul also laughed loudly and said, ��Brat, the more you say so, the more it shows that you��re talking nonsense! Are you trying to tell us how formidable you are at boasting? The few of us have been bored for a very long time. Thank you for delivering us a bit of gag! Hahaha �� Really very funny!��


    Ye Yuan gave Heavenly Soul a glance and said with a smile, ��Hegemon Heavenly Soul, right? Your old friend, Hegemon Mi Tian, asked me to send you his regards. But it seems like you haven��t been well these few years, being suppressed firmly by Hegemon Imperishable!��


    That stalwart celestial deity��s laughter abruptly ceased at this moment.


    A pair of angry eyes were glued on Ye Yuan.


    Hegemon Mi Tian, this was a name that humiliated him!


    The Divine Emergence that Ye Yuan cultivated was snatched away from his hands by precisely Hegemon Mi Tian!


    Back then, Hegemon Mi Tian crossed worlds, saying that he wanted to borrow the three great sacred canons to browse.


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul was naturally not willing. In the end, he was beaten by Hegemon Mi Tian until he had to search the ground for his teeth.


    In the end, it was when Hegemon Samsara returned that this skirmish came to an end.


    However, under Hegemon Samsara��s agreement, Mi Tian still ��borrowed�� the Divine Emergence among the three great sacred canons to read.


    This matter was the humiliation of the entire Qi Soul Clan.


    To this day, it was still an indelible humiliation in Hegemon Heavenly Soul��s heart.


    Today, this junior actually mentioned Hegemon Mi Tian in front of him.


    This was really courting death!


    Similarly Supreme Hegemons, the strength had a disparity too.


    Just like Hegemon Imperishable, he could deal with three great Supreme Hegemons with his power alone.


    Clearly, his strength belonged to the very strong kind among Supreme Hegemons.


    As for Hegemon Mi Tian, he overwhelmed the Qi Soul Clan with great ease with his power alone.


    Ye Yuan guessed that he was probably even stronger than Hegemon Imperishable.


    ��Didn��t expect that you��re Old Man Mi Tian��s successor! After this seat gets out, I��ll definitely kill you right away!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said lightly, ��You don��t have the chance! Senior Mi Tian told me that Hegemon Heavenly Soul was born with a powerful soul body, even stronger than the fleshy body major powers of all the heavens. But, he��s merely a meathead, that��s all! Dealing with him, using a weaker force to deal with a greater force would do!��


    The other three great Hegemons desperately held back their laughters.


    In the end, they could not hold it anymore.


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul was furious to the extreme. Meathead, this term of address, was truly all too apt.


    He was actually unable to refute!


    He was born from chaos, his inborn soul body was incomparably strong and could not be killed at all!


    But his comprehension of origin was extremely dull.


    The reason why he could squeeze into the ranks of Supreme Hegemon was entirely that his soul body was powerful.


    As for origins, he practically knew nothing about it.


    Although he was a soul denizen, he was simply a big fellow who trained the physical body.


    Of course, that also depended on who it was.


    To Hegemon Mi Tian, he could toy with him however he wanted.


    But Supreme Hegemons whose strength were lacking, even if they reached Supreme Hegemon, it would be hard to gain any advantage under his powerful soul body too.


    As for Ye Yuan, it went even more without saying.


    ��Using a weaker force to deal with a greater force? Hur hur! This seat wants to see how you, a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven, use a weaker force to overcome a greater force!�� Heavenly Soul said in rage.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That��s fine. You just watch. Hegemon Imperishable, are you really not lending it?��


    ��Not lending!�� Hegemon Imperishable said without thinking.


    Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said, ��Since that��s the case, then I can only offend!��


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan��s figure swayed, and he disappeared.


    The four great Supreme Hegemons were stupefied, feeling a little baffled.


    ��Hahaha, this boy is really interesting. Threatened us for half a day here, in the end, he slipped away,�� Hegemon Evil Dragon said with a loud laugh.


    ��Humph! If he has the ability, flee out of Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven. Otherwise, even if this seat needs to chase him until the end of the world, I��ll kill him too!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said hatefully.


    But Hegemon Bloodsong said, ��Mn? This boy didn��t run. He went over to the sea of origin there. This �� What does he want to do?��


    The current Ye Yuan plunged headfirst into the sea of origin, Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique fusing into the origins once more.


    The four great Hegemons stopped laughing. They felt as if something was about to happen.

 Chapter 2966 - Pummeling the Four Great Hegemons!

    ��Should we bury the hatchet first? I keep feeling that something bad is going to happen.�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said.


    Bloodsong snorted coldly and said, ��Heavenly Soul, are you a good-for-nothing? A measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven has scared you? Or is it that you got scared by Hegemon Mi Tian��s name?��


    Heavenly Soul��s expression turned cold, and he said in anger, ��Keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, this seat will find trouble with you!��


    Bloodsong��s mouth curled, and he stopped talking.


    He currently needed the Qi Soul Clan��s alliance.


    However, with this disturbance, no one kept Ye Yuan in mind.


    They were Supreme Hegemons in the end. There were really not many existences in this world that could threaten them.


    They also really wanted to see just what the hell Ye Yuan was doing.


    In the origin sea, Ye Yuan emitted a series of strange fluctuations through the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    This undulation was very unique. Even the four great Hegemons could not sense it.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    But a portion of the origins in the origin sea started to seethe little by little!


    These were all masterless origins without consciousness.


    They would not deliberately attack people and would not deliberately let people comprehend.


    But at this time, they actually seemed to have their consciousness be awakened, producing a resonance with Ye Yuan��s soul physique!


    Very soon, those origins were seemingly lit up.


    In this dark God Bewildering Battlefield, countless stars seemed to have lit up all at once.


    Originally, the four great Hegemons were all waiting to see Ye Yuan��s laughingstock. But now, they could not laugh anymore.


    At their prime, they naturally did not care about these origins.


    But the four of them were currently in a situation of four sides being defeated and wounded.


    Being attacked by so many origin energies, the consequences were not an ordinary kind of serious!


    ��What on earth is going on here? Those masterless origins are being awakened by him?�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said in shock.


    ��Could it be that this boy is planning to use these origins to come and attack us? This isn��t possible, right?�� Evil Dragon said in shock.


    ��Hur hur, how is this possible? These masterless origins, even we can��t order them about. He, a puny little Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, can order so many origins to be used by him? This boy probably imprinted many origin seeds in the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique and can cause an origin resonance, that��s all. He wants to use this move to force Old Ghost Imperishable to submit,�� Bloodsong still said disdainfully.


    When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense too. They immediately felt much more relieved.


    At this time, Hegemon Imperishable suddenly said, ��What he awakened doesn��t seem to be all of the origins. This place is the God Bewildering Battlefield. Do you guys think he will use some method to awaken all of the origins of the Labyrinth Divine Palace powerhouses that died?��


    The moment these words came out, the three great Hegemons were shocked.


    If it was like this, it would be terrifying!


    ��This �� This isn��t possible, right? A measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven, what right does he have to be able to summon the origins of the Labyrinth Divine Palace powerhouses who died?�� Hegemon Bloodsong said in alarm.


    Although he denied it firmly, he still felt that Hegemon Imperishable��s guess was very reliable.


    But Heavenly Soul trembled all over and said in disbelief, ��Don��t you all forget. Old Thing Mi Tian and the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s Hegemon Tian Que are bosom friends! If he passed some secret technique to this brat, it��s not impossible!��


    Hegemon Imperishable said, ��Back then, the Labyrinth Divine Palace was like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. Furthermore, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s disciples were extremely united! It was like there was something brainwashing them. This boy might be using this secret technique! Although the origins are masterless, they were all comprehended by people, and all carry a trace of obsession from powerhouses when they were still alive. This trace of obsession is usually nothing, but if it��s the Labyrinth Divine Palace ����


    The horizons of the few great supreme hegemons were all at the peak of the heavens.


    Hegemon Mi Tian��s relationship with the Labyrinth Divine Palace was no secret.


    Especially that Hegemon Heavenly Soul was sworn enemies with him, he naturally knew very very well.


    They guessed the whole thing very quickly.


    However, it was already too late!


    All of a sudden, countless light dots in the night sky whistled by, like a meteor shower, completely illuminating the night sky.


    The four great Hegemons felt their hairs stand on end.


    ��Old Ghost Imperishable, hurry up and stop!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul cried out.


    At this time, the Hegemon Imperishable, who had been level-headed and calm, was not calm anymore as well.


    His voice appeared slightly anxious as he said, ��One! Two! Three! Let go!��


    The other three people were long already too impatient to wait. At virtually the same time, the four people separated.


    But at this time, the origin meteor shower had already arrived in front of the four people.


    Among the hundreds of thousands of origins that were awakened, there were even many Hegemon Realm powerhouses�� origins among them. How immense was the pressure?


    The four people brought out their strongest moves at the same time without hesitation, attempting to withstand this meteor shower.


    If they were at their prime, they naturally would not fear a bunch of dead people.


    But the four people had experienced a great battle without equal. They were all already arrows at the end of their flight.


    Facing such shocking power, they also felt tremendous pressure.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    �� ��


    The meteors fell, and the void exploded!


    A terrifying to the extreme energy undulation blew the void into smithereens.


    ��ARGH! Pain! So painful!��


    Hegemon Evil Dragon cried out strangely. His powerful physical body was blasted into a blurry mess of blood and flesh.


    Countless meteors landed on Hegemon Heavenly Soul��s head, directly blowing his head away.


    And Hegemon Imperishable��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique also became extremely thin under this kind of terrifying explosion.


    This meteor shower explosion belonged to an indiscriminate attack. It even disrupted the heaven and earth rules in this area of space-time.


    Therefore, Hegemon Imperishable��s consciousness suffered heavy damage too.


    The most miserable was none other than Hegemon Bloodsong.


    Ye Yuan fused a wisp of the purest blood origin into Hegemon level origin.


    Hegemon Bloodsong was also a key target of Ye Yuan��s consideration.


    That region of blood lake almost dissipated under this bombardment!


    One had to know that Hegemon Bloodsong��s strength was even stronger than Lord Wang Zuo��s!


    How could his blood lake be so easy to break?


    But sadly, he encountered Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan��s origin of blood was even purer than his origin!


    ��This is the origin of chaos blood! How can you, a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven, have this! AHHH!�� Amidst the miserable cries, Hegemon Bloodsong��s voice was filled with horror.


    He was all too clear where this origin of chaos blood originated from!


    Apart from the Chaos Bloodstone, nobody could possess it!


    Now, it actually appeared on a puny little human.


    How could he not be horrified?


    The terrifying meteor shower bombardment finally subsided after blasting this region of space-time for several hours.


    At this time, Ye Yuan��s figure slowly emerged. It was just that his soul body was already close to dissipating.


    Guiding this origin explosion, he naturally had to pay a huge price too.


    The price was his soul body virtually collapsing.


    The current Ye Yuan was weak to the extreme once again.


    However, the four great Supreme Hegemons were even more miserable than him.


    If someone was here, they would definitely be frightened until their eyes were popping out.


    Regarding these four great Supreme Hegemons, randomly call one out and the world would tremble for a long time.


    But here, they were actually being thrashed by a puny little Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    This scene was seriously too soul-stirring.

 Chapter 2967 - Imperishable Lowering His Head, Cloudneon Breaking Through Realm!

    ��Now, are you lending or not?��


    Ye Yuan��s face had no joy nor sorrow, but his words were filled with determination.


    How could Hegemon Imperishable still not understand? Ye Yuan��s obsession was to borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella!


    ��So what if I don��t lend? Could it be that in your current state, you can still launch it a second time?�� Hegemon Imperishable said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, his already very faint soul body integrated into the origins once more.


    The second meteor shower was launched fiercely!


    Of course, the power this time was much worse than the previous time.


    The target of his attack was also not the four great Hegemons but Hegemon Imperishable alone.


    When Hegemon Imperishable saw this scene, his scalp could not help tingling.


    This boy really did not want his life anymore!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.C0M.


    It was another indiscriminate bombardment, Ye Yuan had not turned to ashes yet, but he was already not far away.


    Hegemon Imperishable was no better than him as well. Someone as powerful as him was actually in danger of turning to ashes too.


    ��Lending or not?�� Ye Yuan seemingly completely could not feel that he was about to disintegrate right away and just said coolly.


    ��Brat, you��re too naive! This seat��s name of imperishable isn��t randomly called! At this rate, the one to die first is yourself!�� Hegemon Imperishable still refused to relent.


    Ye Yuan did not speak, launching the third origin meteor shower!


    When the other three saw that Ye Yuan was so vicious, they could not help being visibly moved too.


    This guy was a complete lunatic. He completely did not care about his life and death.


    Threaten you?


    It did not exist!


    If you don��t agree, I��ll bombard you until you agree!


    ��This boy is a ruthless character! If he doesn��t die, he��ll definitely achieve great accomplishments in the future!�� Hegemon Evil Dragon was visibly moved as he said.


    ��Humph! Do you think that he can still not die like this?�� Bloodsong said in anger.


    ��After going out this time, just take it as today��s matter never happened!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said with a cold snort.


    Four great Supreme Hegemons actually succumbed at the hands of an Emperor Cloud Heaven. If this were to spread, their faces would really have nowhere to put.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    It was another indiscriminate bombardment. Ye Yuan��s soul body was already almost transparent.


    If you did not look carefully, you could not even see it anymore.


    Of course, Hegemon Imperishable��s soul body was also about there.


    Hegemon Imperishable was on the verge of perishing this time.


    Of course, it was not that Ye Yuan was very formidable. It was just that he was too badly injured before.


    The ones who fought with him were Supreme Hegemons!


    ��The next time, it should be the last time. I reckon that I can��t make it anymore. Just don��t know whether or not you can pull through.�� Ye Yuan was still expressionless as if talking about something that had nothing to do with him.


    But these words were simply humiliation to Hegemon Imperishable.


    He was of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique. Ye Yuan was similarly of the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    Ye Yuan roughly knew what Hegemon Imperishable��s limit was.


    One more time, Ye Yuan would definitely die without a doubt.


    But whether or not Hegemon Imperishable could pull through was really hard to say.


    Hegemon Imperishable��s face alternated in shades of white and green. How long had it been since he had felt this feeling of humiliation?


    Even when facing the besiegement of three great Supreme Hegemons, he did not give in at all too.


    Regarding this battle with the three great Hegemons, he was proud.


    Forcing three great Supreme Hegemons to not dare to make a move without careful consideration, this could not be done by everyone.


    Who knew that today, he was actually forced into such a situation by an Emperor Cloud Heaven brat.


    ��I ����


    Hegemon Imperishable was stubborn. He instinctively wanted to reject it.


    But, just as he opened his mouth, he glimpsed that the three people by the side were currently looking at him with excited faces, and he could not help but shudder.


    These three fellows were hoping that he and this boy would both suffer mutual destruction, right?


    If he really died, then the Nirvanic Soul Clan would really be finished.


    Even if he did not die, in his current condition, he still did not know how long it would take to recover.


    ��Okay, I promise you!�� When the words reached the tip of his tongue, Hegemon Imperishable changed his tone.


    Bloodsong three people had disappointed looks.


    While Ye Yuan let out a long sigh in relief, he naturally knew about Hegemon Imperishable��s pride. Therefore, he had no confidence at all, in whether or not the other party would agree.


    Fortunately, there were still three old fellows next to them.


    Thank you all!


    Ye Yuan felt that if it were not for the three of them, Hegemon Imperishable would rather die than to agree.


    Rumble!


    Right at this time, the winds and clouds suddenly changed.


    Above the void, an enormous stone door slowly emerged.


    Door of Eternal Life!


    A beautiful figure was standing in front of the Door of Eternal Life.


    Evil Dragon��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in alarm, ��Not good! This girl actually broke through the gateway too and gained enlightenment on Dao amidst the origins!��


    Hegemon Bloodsong smiled lightly and said, ��What are you scared of? This girl is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, and she plans to use 81 origins to assault the Door of Eternal Life! This third seal is as difficult as ascending to heaven!��


    Evil Dragon came to a realization and said, ��That��s true! Concerning 81 origins, the third seal is at the level of grand completion. Across the heavens and myriad worlds, those who could break through this hurdle, to this day, can be counted on one hand. Does this girlie really think that she��s defying the heavens?��


    Around Cloudneon, dozens of origin powers were glimmering and fading indeterminately, supporting her like a fairy maiden that descended to the mortal world.


    On the Door of Eternal Life, the third seal seemed to be a little tighter.


    The more origins, the greater the difficulty of breaking through as well.


    These 81 origins were the limit of Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    The power of this third seal was also the strongest!


    Since ancient times, no idea how many geniuses had attempted to use 81 origin powers to break through the seal. But, there were barely any who succeeded.


    Of course, once it succeeded, the sealed door would directly have a slight gap being pushed open, and the benefits obtained would also be unimaginable!


    Boom!


    On Cloudneon��s body, an afterglow radiately brilliantly.


    She had started to assault Hegemon Realm!


    When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he felt an upsurge of emotion too.


    He had heard from Hegemon Mi Tian before that assaulting the Door of Eternal Life with 81 origins, once it succeeded, one��s strength could immediately reach the level of Peak Hegemons!


    They were not at all inferior to Supreme Hegemons!


    But it was precisely because it was difficult that once the Door of Eternal Life could not be opened, they might not be able to break through to Hegemon Realm for life.


    Therefore, all those who dared to take this step were outstandingly talented people!


    Ye Yuan had long prepared to assault the Door of Eternal Life with 81 origins.


    Today, he could view it in advance!


    Under a strike, the third seal did not budge an inch!


    The power of this third seal was even more terrifying than imagined!


    However, Cloudneon��s face did not have the slightest ripple, striking again without the slightest hesitation!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    One attack after another hammered on the Door of Eternal Life. But, the power of the third seal clearly exceeded imagination.


    But Cloudneon��s soul body became dimmer and dimmer because of the Door of Eternal Life��s backlash force.


    Seeing this scene, Hegemon Evil Dragon laughed loudly and said, ��Old Ghost Imperishable, this girl underestimated the Door of Eternal Life too much! Her strength is pretty good, but wanting to break the Door of Eternal Life, it��s impossible!��


    Heavenly Soul also smiled and said, ��The Cloud Dream Soul Physique is indeed powerful, but this lass is too ambitious! With 81 origins bombarding the Door of Eternal Life, does she really think that this step is so easy to take?��


    A hint of gloominess was also revealed in Hegemon Imperishable��s eyes.


    He knew that Cloudneon was considered to be crippled!


    Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said lightly, ��She��ll succeed!��

 Chapter 2968 - Borrowing Umbrella!

    ��Boy, some things can��t be done just by moving your mouth!�� Evil Dragon said with a sneer.


    His voice had yet to fade when Cloudneon��s soul body suddenly vanished.


    The 81 origins merged into one, crashing into the Door of Eternal Life once again!


    Boom!


    A crack actually appeared in that third seal.


    But when Cloudneon��s soul body appeared again, it was faint to the extreme.


    Her soul body was about to collapse!


    The three great Hegemons�� expressions changed, and they cried out in surprise, ��Does this lass not want her life anymore? Burning her soul body to assault the hurdle, it��s fatal!��


    Cloudneon��s face did not show any emotion, her soul body dissipating again.


    Boom!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.COM


    This time, the crack grew a little bigger. But Cloudneon��s soul body became even dimmer.


    The four great Hegemons were shocked. Their eyes could not help looking toward Ye Yuan.


    This reckless scene was so familiar!


    These two little fellows that barged in were both lunatics that did not want their lives!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Cloudneon��s soul body became fainter and fainter. However, the crack on the third seal also grew bigger and bigger.


    In a blink, Cloudneon��s soul body already could not be seen clearly anymore. It was even more serious than Ye Yuan.


    However, she still rushed towards the seal again without the slightest hesitation.


    Boom!


    The third seal opened at the sound of it!


    The Door of Eternal Life that would seemingly never open actually opened a tiny gap at this time!


    The aura of Great Dao poured out like floodwaters that broke the dam.


    The expressions of Evil Dragon and the other three great Hegemons changed wildly.


    This lass actually really succeeded!


    To them, this was terrible news.


    The three of them were critically wounded. Under such circumstances, they could not even escape!


    Which was also to say that, Cloudneon��s breakthrough was devastating to them!


    Whoosh!


    Cloudneon��s soul body that was about to be completely destroyed actually re-condensed under the scouring of this Great Dao power.


    And her aura was also in the midst of climbing frenziedly.


    The 81 origins turned bright at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    The current Cloudneon stood there, still cold as ice, but it gave people an otherworldly feeling as if she was otherworldly.


    Even if it was Ye Yuan, he was actually mesmerized from watching too.


    Walking lightly, Cloudneon gave Hegemon Imperishable a deep bow and said, ��Paying respects to Progenitor.��


    Hegemon Imperishable had a relieved expression on his face. This was his trump card that he was originally planning to use to deal with the Qi Soul Clan.


    He did not expect that at this time, she actually succeeded in breaking through, becoming a Hegemon Realm powerhouse!


    The other three great Hegemons also did not expect that in a blink of an eye, this lass in front of them, actually became the crux that governed everyone��s life and death.


    ��Huhu, Cloudneon, you didn��t let this seat down! Now, kill this kid first!�� Hegemon Imperishable pointed at Ye Yuan and said.


    This punk brought him endless humiliation.


    He had been invincible all his life and had never been forced to lower his head by anyone before.


    But he lowered his head to Ye Yuan!


    Fortunately, he had not sworn the Heavenly Dao Oath yet.


    Now, he could decide Ye Yuan��s life and death with a word!


    Evil Dragon three people all had gloating expressions.


    They did not have a good impression of Ye Yuan either.


    If not for this kid, they would have already made their get-away now. Why would they need to wait to die here?


    Cloudneon��s gaze turned toward Ye Yuan. The latter did not shy away either and just smiled sadly.


    He also did not think that Cloudneon actually broke through at the critical moment.


    However, outside of everyone��s expectations, Cloudneon actually bowed toward Hegemon Imperishable once again and pleaded, ��May Cloudneon be so bold as to request progenitor to lend Ye Yuan the Purple Ripple Umbrella to use.��


    ��What did you say!�� Hegemon Imperishable��s gaze turned intent as he glared at Cloudneon.


    He could not quite believe his own ears. Cloudneon was actually making him lend the Purple Ripple Umbrella to Ye Yuan?


    Evil Dragon three people also opened their eyes wide. What on earth was this girl doing?


    Was she not Old Ghost Imperishable��s people? Why would she say such a thing?


    Cloudneon did not avoid Hegemon Imperishable��s gaze in the slightest and said calmly, ��Ye Yuan is just borrowing the Purple Ripple Umbrella in order to save his beloved. Cloudneon will be by the side. Once he finishes using it, I��ll take back the Purple Ripple Umbrella. Progenitor, please show mercy.��


    Ye Yuan was surprised.


    Was this woman �� moved by him?


    But back then, she clearly did not have any expression at all!


    Yes, along the way, Ye Yuan told Cloudneon the reason for borrowing the Purple Ripple Umbrella.


    It was just that Cloudneon just listened to it and did not express much. She still had a cold face as per usual.


    But now, she actually spoke up for him at the risk of offending Hegemon Imperishable?


    This woman �� was very similar to her!


    Before this, Ye Yuan felt that this woman was very cold-blooded, killing people without batting an eyelid.


    But now, Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that he was wrong.


    This woman��s coldness was only due to her nature.


    But her heart had a soft side.


    This kind of personality was simply cut from the same cloth as Mu Lingxue!


    The Mu Lingxue back then, how proud and cold was she, akin to a fairy maiden from heaven.


    But, once she fell in love with him, even if her bones were ground to dust, she would not hesitate either!


    Ye Yuan did not feel that Cloudneon fell in love with him. But very clearly, she was moved by his story.


    Someone who went through all kinds of hardships and difficulties for the sake of his beloved, walking step by step from the mortal world to this present day.


    This kind of unwavering feeling, how could it not move people?


    Ye Yuan guessed correctly. Cloudneon was moved by him.


    But what she was moved by was not the story. It was everything that he had done.


    Ye Yuan held on with one breath, refusing to be annihilated, all the way until Hegemon Imperishable awakened him anew.


    He did not scruple to have both sides suffer mutual destruction, pressuring an overlord like Hegemon Imperishable to lower his head.


    Such a thing could not be falsified.


    Cloudneon was gaining enlightenment on Dao, but she saw everything that happened in the God Bewildering Battlefield.


    Actually, she also did not know why she did it. Perhaps, it was at the behest of supernatural powers.


    Hegemon Imperishable��s eyes turned icy-cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��If I don��t agree, are you going to help him deal with this seat?��


    Cloudneon said, ��Progenitor, it��s just a matter of lifting a hand. Why is there a need?��


    Hegemon Imperishable said in anger, ��Good! Very good! I didn��t expect that this seat actually raised an ingrate! Take it! Scram!��


    A large purple umbrella flew toward Cloudneon. Cloudneon reached her hand out to take it. Passing it to Ye Yuan, she said, ��If you��re concocting any schemes, I��ll kill you with my own hands!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not speak.


    He was not interested in the Purple Ripple Umbrella at all.


    What he wanted was just to be able to save Mu Lingxue!


    Suddenly, the power of origin blossomed from Cloudneon��s body.


    Only to see her point at the void, Hegemon Evil Dragon directly blew into pieces and was completely annihilated along with his dragon soul.


    A Supreme Hegemon of his generation died on the spot!


    Following that, she pointed a finger at Bloodsong in the same manner.


    Bloodsong��s expression changed greatly, and he roared wildly, ��Mother stone, save me!��


    Right at this time, a streak of bloody light tore across the sky, and it actually directly entered the God Bewildering Battlefield.


    Boom!


    Cloudneon took several steps back in a row. Her icy-cold face actually carried some shock.


    At that moment, Bloodsong, who was with them all, had long already disappeared.


    ��What terrifying strength! Progenitor, there��s actually still such an expert in the blood race?�� Cloudneon said.


    Hegemon Imperishable��s fury had long already dissipated into thin air. He also had a shocked expression on his face.


    Clearly, it was also his first time seeing this power.

 Chapter 2969 - The Scent of Hope!

    ��This guy became stronger again!��


    Looking at the blood light that receded like the tide, Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    Hegemon Imperishable and Cloudneon both looked at him strangely, clearly rather surprised.


    Suddenly, the blood light seemed to have discovered something and actually stopped retreating.


    A pair of eyes appeared in the blood light, looking at that illusory figure Ye Yuan.


    The Chaos Bloodstone said, ��Brat, we meet again!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he said in shock, ��You can talk!��


    Being able to talk, it meant that it had already awakened consciousness.


    The last time he met the Chaos Bloodstone, he was still in a state of unconsciousness. Everything could only rely on instinct.


    But now, this guy actually already had consciousness.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.COM


    This was also to say that the Chaos Bloodstone was probably not far from being born!


    This was not good news!


    ��Looks like you��re very surprised! This seat is currently at the final juncture of awakening. I��ll spare you this time! After this seat comes into being, the first one that I��m going to kill is you, this punk! To dare cheat a wisp of this seat��s chaos blood origin, you��re still the first one! This score must be settled! Hahaha ����


    While talking, the blood light retreated, and everything returned to tranquility.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was very ugly.


    Cloudneon, Imperishable, Heavenly Soul, three great Hegemons were all looking at Ye Yuan with shocked faces.


    This guy actually cheated a trace of origin from that terrifying existence?


    This boy was really impressive enough!


    ��Ye Yuan ����


    Before waiting for Cloudneon to open her mouth and ask, Ye Yuan said all of the information that he knew, ��He��s the blood race��s mother stone, Chaos Bloodstone! The blood race was created by him ����


    When the three great Hegemons heard, their faces were unprecedentedly solemn.


    Only then did they learn that it turns out that the 33 Heavens actually gave birth to such a terrifying existence.


    ��Therefore, regardless of whether it is your Qi Soul Clan or Nirvanic Soul Clan, there��s no meaning in attacking each other at all! Once the Chaos Bloodstone is born, it will probably be the entire 33 Heavens�� catastrophe! What appeared just now was merely a wisp of his clone. I can feel that he��s much stronger than before! Furthermore, he already has consciousness and probably won��t be too far away from coming into being!�� Ye Yuan said with a solemn look.


    ��You mean that we were all made use of by the blood race?�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said in a solemn voice.


    ��Otherwise? Whatever chaos races are one family, how ridiculous! Hegemon Heavenly Soul, you��re really a meathead. Even this kind of bullshit reason can deceive you?�� Ye Yuan beat him down without the slightest mercy.


    Hegemon Heavenly Soul said in a great rage, ��Brat, if you dare to say another word, this seat will immediately tear you to shreds!��


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��You only dare to challenge me, this Emperor Cloud Heaven. Heavenly Soul, without Hegemon Samsara, who the hell do you think you are! If you have the ability, wait until I reach Hegemon Realm. Then let��s have a fight. If I don��t beat you until your soul disintegrates, my name, Ye Yuan two words, will be written upside down!��


    ��You!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul could not help choking.


    His biggest taboo was others mentioning this point.


    He was a Supreme Hegemon at any rate, his strength reigning supreme across the heavens.


    He did not want to be perceived by people that he was surviving under Hegemon Samsara��s wings.


    But he understood in his heart that reality was like this!


    Being exposed by Ye Yuan mercilessly, he felt a loss in face.


    ��Enough! Heavenly Soul, what Ye Yuan said is right. The enmity between us can be put aside for the time being! Once that evil thing comes into being, regardless of whether it is the Qi Soul Clan or Nirvanic Soul Clan, we��ll probably suffer a cataclysmic disaster! Furthermore, the blood race is currently running amuck across the heavens, and the Chaos Bloodstone��s strength is getting stronger and stronger. We have to be prepared!�� Hegemon Imperishable said.


    ��Humph!�� Hegemon Heavenly Soul said with a cold snort and stopped talking.


    ��Cloudneon, you bring him!�� Hegemon Imperishable said.


    ��Yes!��


    Hence, Cloudneon brought Ye Yuan and left the God Bewildering Battlefield.


    �� ��


    A month later, at Sublime Pill Sect.


    After a terrifying Dao tribulation, Ye Yuan opened his eyes, light radiating everywhere.


    When this half of a clone returned to the original body, he directly leaped over True Sovereign Heaven and stepped into Emperor Realm!


    His Door of Eternal Life had already been summoned. His origin divinity realm had already stepped into middle Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    Breaking through to Emperor Realm was just a matter of how much divine essence to him.


    This happened to be very simple to Ye Yuan.


    After finishing breaking through, Ye Yuan��s heart started pounding.


    This day finally arrived!


    Experiencing countless tribulations, he finally saw the hope of saving Mu Lingxue.


    The beauty before his eyes, Ye Yuan took meticulous care of her.


    She was spotless and flawless and even preserved the appearance of being locked in ice for ten thousand miles. It was as if she was asleep.


    A powerful divine essence wrapped Mu Lingxue up.


    She was only at the Lower Realms Divine King Realm. Her physical body could not withstand the 33 Heavens�� power of rules at all.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mu Lingxue. The muscles on his face were twitching.


    Mi Tian said before that Mu Lingxue��s divine soul might have already entered samsara.


    If so, it could not be called back anymore.


    Furthermore, because Mu Lingxue burned her divine soul back then, her divine soul had long already become uncertain. Only wisps of soul origin��s energy were left behind, drifting between heaven and earth.


    The trace of fluctuation that Ye Yuan felt in the Lower Realms, it was this soul origin��s energy.


    Whether or not he could revive Mu Lingxue was still an unknown thing.


    The Purple Ripple Umbrella opened, and purple light enveloped Mu Lingxue��s physical body.


    Ye Yuan cast the soul gathering mystic art with endless fluster.


    The purple light was quiet, setting off waves of ripples.


    Mu Lingxue��s physical body finally had a reaction.


    That last trace of spiritual consciousness was magnified by the Purple Ripple Umbrella!


    The Purple Ripple Umbrella was one of the soul race��s supreme soul artifacts. It had a function, which was that it could feel the most fundamental soul origin in the world.


    It was also precisely because of this that Mi Tian had Ye Yuan come and borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella.


    Everything was in order. Ye Yuan could only slowly wait.


    However, his entire body was trembling by the side.


    He had waited for this day for far too long.


    He was not afraid of hardships. What he was afraid of was not being able to save Mu Lingxue!


    Cloudneon looked at this scene. Her icy face could not help sighing slightly.


    Love sickness in this world was no more than this, right?


    ��Kid, loosen up a little! You��ve already worked very hard! Even if you can��t save her, she won��t blame you too!�� Mi Tian urged.


    Ye Yuan did not speak. He just stared fixedly at Mu Lingxue.


    One day!


    Two days!


    Three days!


    �� ��


    One day passed after another, and the serene light of the Purple Ripple Umbrella had already passed through all the heavens, searching for Mu Lingxue��s soul origin.


    But there was still no reaction.


    Ye Yuan��s heart became more and more flustered, virtually about to explode.


    He did not want it to still be all in vain after waiting for so many years!


    Mi Tian looked at this besotted child, a hint of reluctance flashing across in his heart.


    This child was too stubborn!


    On the tenth day, there was still no reaction.


    On the 15th day, still no reaction.


    Ye Yuan��s heart was already filled with despair. He virtually wanted to roar out.


    Finally, on the 18th day, the Purple Ripple Umbrella had a reaction!


    A familiar aura came from beyond the heavens!


    This was the aura of soul origin!


    Ye Yuan had felt it once. He knew this aura too well!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan was almost jumping up in agitation.


    ��It��s back! Really came back! Senior, I��ve finally waited for this day!�� When talking, Ye Yuan had tears covering his face.

 Chapter 2970 - Well Meet Again if Fated!

    Under the Purple Ripple Umbrella, Mu Lingxue��s soul origin was gathering around little by little.


    The sleeping beauty-like Mu Lingxue actually had a trace of life. This made Ye Yuan become even more wildly elated.


    ��Senior, I �� I finally succeeded!��


    The current Ye Yuan needed someone to share his joy.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Heaven rewards the faithful! Kid, congratulations!��


    On Ye Yuan, he saw eternal composure.


    No matter how great the difficulties he faced, he could keep his cool in the face of a crisis.


    However, the current Ye Yuan was agitated like a child. It was still his first time seeing it.


    Mi Tian also felt deeply emotional. This boy truly had love as solid as gold!


    In the cultivation world, feelings were often very unreliable.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.COM


    People who betrayed you were often the people closest to you.


    Even if it was not betrayal, time would also weaken everything.


    But Ye Yuan was different. The longer the time, the deeper his feelings seemed to grow.


    A mortal world lover, but Ye Yuan could strive until today for her sake. It was truly not easy.


    He felt happy for Ye Yuan too.


    ��Ugh ����


    Suddenly, Mu Lingxue gave an inaudible groan.


    Ye Yuan was overjoyed, taking out a heavenly pill, he sent it into Mu Lingxue��s body extremely carefully.


    At this time, Mu Lingxue already had some consciousness and was no longer a living corpse. She could naturally cultivate.


    Hence, under the help of the heavenly pill, Mu Lingxue��s cultivation realm increased rapidly!


    Half a month later, the heavenly pill was fully digested, and Mu Lingxue became a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse.


    This was just a matter of lifting a hand to the current Ye Yuan.


    Three months passed in a twinkle. On this day, Mu Lingxue��s eyelids quivered slightly, and she actually slowly opened her eyes.


    Ye Yuan was agitated until his heart was almost leaping out of his throat.


    He hugged Mu Lingxue and said agitatedly, ��Lingxue, heaven didn��t let me down! You finally returned!��


    ��Do you know how long I��ve waited for this day?��


    ��You��re really silly. You didn��t even want your life anymore for me? Do you know how much my heart ached?��


    ��So many years, I��ve always spent it in guilt! No matter how strong I became, that guilt in my heart had never disappeared before!��


    ��However, everything has passed! Everything has passed now!��


    ��It��s good that you��re back.��


    ��It��s good that you��re back!��


    Ye Yuan had never hugged Mu Lingxue so tightly in this life before.


    He was scared. He was scared that this was a dream.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was so emotional, the ten-thousand-year ice face of Cloudneon, who was not far away, actually showed signs of thawing too.


    In the boundless 33 Heavens, this scene was truly not often seen.


    But the Mu Lingxue, who was being embraced tightly by Ye Yuan, her reaction seemed a little dull.


    Time did not leave its mark on her face. That face was still kingdom toppling. It was just that the look in her eyes seemed somewhat vacant.


    No idea how long had passed either, she slowly pushed Ye Yuan away, looked at Ye Yuan, and asked with uncertainty, ��Who are you?��


    Ye Yuan��s entire person turned stiff, and he said with unwillingness, ��Lingxue, I��m Ji Qingyun! D-Don��t you recognize me anymore?��


    Mu Lingxue frowned slightly, as if striving hard to remember, muttering under her breath, ��Ji Qingyun?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head hard and said, ��Yes, Ji Qingyun! Qingyun Zi! You think carefully again!��


    ��Back then, in the Medicine King Hall, you and I drank together under the moon. You stabbed my shoulder with a sword, forcing me to submit!��


    ��Back then, Heavenly Wind Divine King wanted to make a move against me, so you hunted him down for 100 thousand miles! I paid a visit to give thanks, but you shut the door and refused to meet!��


    ���� ����


    Ye Yuan recounted each event as if enumerating his family��s valuables.


    But Mu Lingxue did not have the slightest reaction. She just said coolly, ��Apologies. What you said just now, I don��t have any impression at all.��


    Ye Yuan was akin to being thunderstruck, standing transfixed on the spot.


    How could this be?


    ��Then �� Then do you remember who you are?�� Ye Yuan asked unwillingly.


    Mu Lingxue nodded and said, ��Spirit Snow Divine King, Mu Lingxue! This place �� doesn��t seem to be the Divine Realm? My cultivation also seems to have greatly surpassed before.��


    Ye Yuan was stupefied again. She remembered everything and only forgotten about him?


    Or was he the eternal pain in her heart?


    Mi Tian let out a sigh and said, ��Looks like her soul origin wasn��t fully condensed!��


    Ye Yuan roused himself and said, ��Then I��ll cast the soul gathering technique again and condense her soul origin!��


    ��It��s no use. A portion of her soul origin has already entered samsara. No matter how exceedingly formidable your means, you can��t find it too,�� Cloudneon suddenly opened her mouth and said.


    Mi Tian felt somewhat sorry for Ye Yuan and said with a sigh, ��Mortal divine souls contain three spiritual and seven physical souls. She burned her divine soul, losing the carrier, and the three spiritual and seven physical souls turned into soul origin, drifting between heaven and earth. Once a long time has passed, the three spiritual and seven physical souls will each have their own encounters. Some can even cultivate on their own and attain Dao. But, as long as they didn��t enter samsara, they ultimately can��t escape the Purple Ripple Umbrella��s calling. However ����


    He did not finish saying, but the meaning was already very clear.


    Even the Purple Ripple Umbrella could not find it. Then it must have entered samsara.


    Mu Lingxue was somewhat confused, not knowing what they were talking about.


    Ye Yuan had a look of dejection and still said unwillingly, ��Even if it entered samsara, it has to be in this 33 Heavens. Can��t it be found?��


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��The variables involved are too great. After entering samsara, it��s a new life. She won��t have her previous life��s memories any longer, and she won��t have her previous life��s feelings. Even if you really find it, do you feel she��ll want to fuse together with a completely different individual?��


    Ye Yuan was silent.


    He did not expect that after experiencing many untold hardships, he still did not let Mu Lingxue resurrect perfectly.


    What Cloudneon said was right. If right now, he had a previous life standing in front of him, asking him to merge together, would he agree?


    That was impossible!


    I��m me, the only one in this world!


    But was he giving up just like that?


    He was still not willing!


    If it was not a complete Mu Lingxue, then what was the point of reviving her?


    Right at this time, Mu Lingxue moved. She slowly walked outside of the main hall.


    Ye Yuan was startled and said, ��Lingxue, where are you going?��


    Mu Lingxue said coolly, ��This place doesn��t seem to be the Divine Realm. It��s a new world. I want to go and take a look.��


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh of relief and revealed a smile as he said, ��Okay, I��ll bring you.��


    Finished saying, he was going to bring Mu Lingxue away.


    ��Stop!�� Mu Lingxue suddenly shouted coldly and said, ��I don��t know who you are and what objectives you have. You don��t need to put on a lovesick appearance in front of me either. I, Mu Lingxue, don��t buy this! Now, stay further away from me! I know that you��re very strong, but I, Mu Lingxue, would rather die than be your pet!��


    Finished saying, Mu Lingxue turned around and left just like that.


    Ye Yuan was stunned, standing there at a loss on what to do.


    After experiencing untold hardships, what he exchanged for, was such a scene?


    ��I��ll go and capture her back!�� Cloudneon��s figure moved and was about to make a move.


    ��Forget it, let her go,�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Cloudneon��s eyes flashed slightly, and she said, ��You��re willing to let her leave just like this?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly changed to a relaxed smile and said, ��We��ll meet again if it��s fated! Moreover, this is the Mu Lingxue that I know!��

 Chapter 2971 - Secret of Samsara, Fulfilling His Promise!

    ��Senior, what do I have to do to find Lingxue?�� Ye Yuan said with unwillingness.


    Finding Mu Lingxue, Ye Yuan finally put down a heavy burden.


    However, not finding the complete Mu Lingxue, he was still reluctant and kept feeling that something was missing.


    Mi Tian looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Across the heavens and myriad worlds, there��s only one person who can bring her back!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��Hegemon Samsara?��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��That��s right! This old thing is different from the others. He only gained enlightenment on the Dao of Samsara. But, his strength is virtually the top existence among the entire Hegemon Realms! It can be described using the word unfathomable! His comprehension in the Dao of Samsara is unmatched by anyone. Although he can��t control Samsara, he��s walking on this path! As for how far he��s walked, I don��t know either! If anyone in this world can find that lass, then it can only be him.��


    In this world, no one dared to say that they had completely grasped a Dao!


    With 3000 Great Daos, even if it was just grasping one Dao, one could virtually connect to the heavens!


    A legend circulated in the 33 Heavens. Those who could completely grasp an origin could break the Door of Eternal Life and step into the Great Beyond!


    But since time immemorial, no one had ever done it.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL.COM


    It was because only Heavenly Dao could completely grasp a Dao.


    Therefore, that was why people would attempt to comprehend as many origin Great Daos as possible, attempting to break the Door of Eternal Life.


    Between these two paths, it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.


    But without a doubt, Hegemon Samsara was very strong, strong until he was not far from completely grasping a Dao!


    When Ye Yuan heard, he said somewhat excitedly, ��Where is he?��


    Mi Tian shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ��Nobody knows where he is! This old thing travels the heavens and myriad worlds, comprehending life, understanding Samsara! Perhaps, he��s currently just a mortal. Maybe, he��s currently a Supreme Hegemon. He might be beside you and me. But no one knows where he is! If he could be found, I wouldn��t have asked you to go and borrow the Purple Ripple Umbrella either. If that old thing takes action, wanting to revive this lass would merely be a matter of lifting a hand.��


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and suddenly felt akin to being relieved of a heavy burden and said with a smile, ��Doesn��t that mean that as long as I can find Hegemon Samsara, I can revive many people?��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��Yes! As long as the soul origin is still around, as long as the strength didn��t reach Hegemon Realm, he can revive them all! In the Dao of Samsara, his accomplishments are unmatched by anyone!��


    Hegemon Realm blasted open three seals. They already transcended Samsara and were not in the Five Elements.


    Therefore, if a Hegemon died, they would really be dead.


    But, as long as one did not reach Hegemon Realm, they would have to follow the arrangements of Hegemon Realm in Samsara.


    Although Hegemon Samsara did not grasp Samsara, to revive a few people, it was easily accomplished.


    Back then, Ye Yuan distinctly sensed Ji Zhengyang��s soul origin before. This also ignited Ye Yuan��s hope.


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��Give up on this! In these countless years, the number of times Hegemon Heavenly Soul has met Hegemon Samsara can be counted on one hand! Unless he takes the initiative to show himself, nobody can find him!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��He��ll show up! Once the Chaos Bloodstone comes into being, that��s the calamity of all the heavens and myriad worlds! I believe that Hegemon Samsara will definitely show himself. From a certain perspective, the two of them belong to the same class; both existences who have virtually reached superlative in one Dao! At that time, when the blood race plagues every heaven and myriad worlds, Hegemon Samsara probably won��t be able to stay aloof from worldly affairs and comprehend Samsara.��


    One origin of blood, one samsara origin, they were both extremely strong Great Daos!


    The Chaos Bloodstone needed the power of blood and needed the fresh blood of countless lives to corroborate his Dao.


    In contrast, Hegemon Samsara needed to comprehend the Dao of Samsara amidst the ordinary!


    These two people could be said to be absolute opposites.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan judged that at that time, Hegemon Samsara would definitely appear.


    As for whether or not Hegemon Samsara would take action, Ye Yuan did not care.


    At least, there was hope, right?


    Cloudneon actually had nothing to say in reply and said with a snicker, ��Who do you think you are? If you ask Hegemon Samsara to revive, he��ll help you revive?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not retort.


    Whether Hegemon Samsara would agree or not, he did not know. But he would do his best!


    He would work hard to become strong and qualified to speak with Hegemon Samsara!


    The goals that he set for himself back then have all been achieved, no?


    Just borrowing the Purple Ripple Umbrella, this was originally an impossible task, but he still did it.


    Although there was Cloudneon��s help involved, when it came down to it, it was still Ye Yuan��s own efforts.


    �� ��


    Mu Lingxue had already revived, and Ye Yuan naturally did not need the Purple Ripple Umbrella anymore as well.


    He was not someone who was greedy for treasures. He returned the Purple Ripple Umbrella very readily and came to the Imperishable Soul Domain together with Cloudneon to thank Hegemon Imperishable.


    Hegemon Imperishable was seriously injured and had not fully recovered yet.


    Seeing Ye Yuan, he naturally would not have a good attitude either.


    ��Many thanks, Senior Imperishable, for your kindness of lending the umbrella. This Ye will bear it in mind! This Ye owes Senior Imperishable a favor. If you need anything in the future, this Ye absolutely won��t refuse!�� Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.


    Imperishable took back the Purple Ripple Umbrella and said with a cold snort, ��Do you think that this seat needs your favor?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You don��t need it now, but not necessarily in the future! This Ye examines my own conscience and feels that once I step into the realm of Hegemon in the future, my strength won��t be beneath Senior��s! Perhaps, Senior might really turn to me for help.��


    Hegemon Imperishable had a black face and said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, you��re really arrogant! Aren��t you scared that this seat will smack you to death right now?��


    Ye Yuan still smiled as he said, ��Didn��t Senior set up the Seven-Colored Pagoda in order to look for the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique? Now, the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique has appeared. I��m considered half a successor of yours too. Senior probably can��t bear to do it, right?��


    In the God Bewildering Battlefield, Hegemon Imperishable was worried that Ye Yuan was hatching a sinister plot, so he was not willing to lend the umbrella.


    Now, he knew that Ye Yuan was only trying to save someone, and he understood that everyone had the blood race, this common enemy. So he naturally would not have killing intent anymore.


    Furthermore, what Ye Yuan said was right. He did indeed want to find a successor. It was just that he did not expect that his successor was actually a human!


    In addition, after Hegemon Imperishable returned, he also learned that Ye Yuan had indeed saved the Nirvanic Soul Clan!


    Although Hegemon Wu Wen died, the three races�� allied forces had even greater losses than them!


    He, Hegemon Imperishable, had no choice but to receive this favor too!


    Everyone was smart. There was naturally no need to beat around the bush when talking too.


    Hegemon Imperishable snorted coldly and said, ��Your origin divinity returning to the physical body is a waste! You should enter my Nirvanic Soul Clan. Your future accomplishments definitely won��t be beneath this seat��s in the future!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��My body is given by my parents. Ye Yuan doesn��t dare to give it up easily. Moreover, what this Ye pursues isn��t just Soul Dao! My ambition is even greater than what Senior can imagine!��


    When Hegemon Imperishable heard, he flew into an even greater rage and said in a solemn voice, ��Brat who doesn��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! My Nirvanic Soul Clan doesn��t welcome you. Get lost!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and bade farewell to Hegemon Imperishable.


    After coming out, Cloudneon��s gaze flickered, and she asked, ��You��re really not staying?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I have something more important to do!��


    Cloudneon frowned and said, ��That girl has already been saved. What more important stuff do you still have?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I promised Senior Mi Tian that I��d send him home. Now, it��s time to fulfill the promise!��

 Chapter 2972 - Heaven Qian Grade Bloodline!

    Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, this place was the paradise of true spirits.


    This place was ruled by the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, four chaos true spirits, whose strengths were even a level greater than the soul race!


    They were the earliest ancestors of the myriad worlds�� demon race!


    Although the 33 Heavens were planes of the same level, there were actually differences too.


    Such as Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, it was quite a bit worse compared to Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven and Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven.


    This could clearly be seen from the number of Hegemons, as well as the quality of Hegemons.


    Like Mi Tian, a powerhouse born from chaos and whose race talent was extremely powerful, he could be said to roam the heavens without adversary!


    And existences such as Hegemon Cloudmount, although he was a top existence in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, he was considerably worse when looking across all the heavens.


    Following his horizons continuously rising, Ye Yuan also gradually understood how strong the Mi Tian at his prime was!


    ��The feeling of returning home is really good! Thank you, Ye Yuan!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Coming out of the barrier of heavens, Mi Tian could not refrain from feeling vicissitudes of emotion.


    He had been away from home for too long!


    ��Senior is treating me too much as a stranger by saying this. All these years, you��ve taught me so much. Without you, there also wouldn��t be the person I am today!�� Ye Yuan said sincerely.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Without me, you can reach the peak all the same! You have Dao in your heart and are outstandingly talented. Maybe you can really become the first divergent cultivator to break Heavenly Dao fetters and ascend to Hegemon across all heavens and myriad worlds!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior is too kind. It��s just that, although we��ve arrived at Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, it��s not considered returning home either. Most likely, the way back home is still rather difficult, right?��


    Mi Tian was silent. He knew that he could not hide it from Ye Yuan.


    An exalted Supreme Hegemon, a formidable existence who swept across the soul race but died in a strange land and was almost completely annihilated.


    Such a thing, it was unusual no matter how one looked at it.


    For so many years, Mi Tian did not speak. Ye Yuan did not speak either.


    But Ye Yuan guessed that this matter was probably not so simple.


    ��Some things, I��m actually just guessing too. Everything, we��ll act according to circumstances when we return to the clan,�� Mi Tian said.


    Seeing that Mi Tian was not willing to say, Ye Yuan did not ask as well. He said with a nod, ��Then, what should I do now?��


    Mi Tian said, ��Go to East Billow Region! Heavenly Dragon Island will send the Divine Dragon Envoy to patrol East Billow Region. What you need to do is to attract the Divine Dragon Envoy��s attention, and have him bring you to Heavenly Dragon Island.��


    The four divine beasts ruled a region each. The chaos dragon race was the ruler of this East Billow Region.


    Major races like the dragon race and soul race, all had their own holy land.


    Heavenly Dragon Island was the holy land of the chaos dragon race.


    Legends had it that the place was the closest place to chaos, and it was also the birthplace of the dragon race.


    Heavenly Dragon Island was in the land of extreme east in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, above the vast sea.


    Nobody knew just where it was.


    Only by obtaining the recognition of the Divine Dragon Envoy could one be brought to Heavenly Dragon Island and become a true dragonkin.


    Originally, with Mi Tian��s status, returning to the island was naturally effortless. But that way, many things would not be easy to do.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan wanted to enter Heavenly Dragon Island but needed the Divine Dragon Envoy��s guidance.


    ��Where are we now?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    ��This place should be the border between the Northern Phoenix Region and East Billow Region. Not far ahead is the East Billow Region,�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either and was about to set off for East Billow Region.


    Coincidentally, right at this moment, a ray of red light fell from the horizon.


    Boom!


    A large hole was directly smashed out in the dense forest not far away.


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. Thinking about it, he still went over to investigate.


    Upon going over to look, there was actually a fire-red phoenix lying in the large pit.


    This phoenix was the size of two humans. There were bloodstains on the body. There were no signs of life anymore.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said, ��There��s no hope.��


    Mi Tian said, ��No, she entered the state of annihilation and will have a nirvanic rebirth very soon. This fire phoenix��s bloodline is extremely pure. She��s probably a core character of the Vermilion Bird Clan.��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��Like this, and she��s still not dead?��


    Mi Tian said, ��Phoenix Nirvanic Rebirth, this is the innate divine ability of the Vermilion Bird Clan. Each nirvanic rebirth will have tremendous benefits for them. But, it��s also the most dangerous time. This fire phoenix is seriously injured and forcibly entered a nirvanic state. Once she rises from the ashes, not only will her wounds recover fully, but her strength will also improve further!��


    Sure enough, before his voice faded, the fire phoenix started burning on her own with a bang.


    The blazing fire turned the surroundings into ruins


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly retreated.


    This flame was too terrifying!


    ��Since she won��t die, let��s go then.�� As he said those words, Ye Yuan wanted to turn around and leave.


    ��Sir, please wait!�� Ye Yuan was just about to leave when a sweet female voice suddenly transmitted over.


    Except, this voice seemed extremely feeble. It was as if it was about to die out at any moment.


    Ye Yuan was taken aback and confirmed that this voice came out of the large fire.


    It was the voice of the fire phoenix.


    That voice said, ��Qingxuan is being pursued by villains. I definitely can��t escape the calamity when undergoing my nirvanic rebirth. I beseech Sir to lend a helping hand and save Qingxuan��s life! After Qingxuan succeeds in my nirvanic rebirth, there will definitely be generous rewards!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Do you feel that this Ye is young and ignorant about worldly affairs? You��re a middle Emperor Cloud Heaven yourself. With your bloodline, at least there has to be an Emperor Vast Heaven Realm powerhouse to want to kill you too! What motives do you have to have me intercept here?��


    Ye Yuan himself was of the dragon race bloodline. He was very clear how strong the dragon clan��s core disciples were!


    One could say that they were virtually invincible in the same rank!


    This fire phoenix��s identity was clearly not simple. Such an important person, the strength of the people pursuing was definitely not ordinary.


    This woman wanting to make him save her, she was most likely treating him as cannon fodder.


    Although Ye Yuan was public-spirited and kindhearted, he was also not a dummy who would be bored enough to seek death.


    This kind of murky water, he was naturally not willing to step into it.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was about to leave, that voice became anxious. ��Sir has misunderstood! There��s indeed powerhouses at Emperor Vast Heaven hunting me down, but they have been lured away by me using schemes previously. The ones pursuing now are just five Emperor Cloud Heavens! As long as Sir helps me delay them for a moment, I��ll be able to rise from the ashes! This drop of blood essence is tentatively a deposit. There will still be generous thanks afterward!��


    While talking, a drop of blood essence drifted out of the flames and arrived before Ye Yuan.


    A boundless aura hit him in the face!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. It was heaven qian grade blood essence!


    This fire phoenix��s bloodline was actually so powerful!


    Using this drop of blood essence as the reward could be said to be generous.


    Postnatal bloodline, heaven qian grade was the pinnacle!


    To the true spirit clan, the breakthrough of bloodline was even harder than the breakthrough of cultivation realm.


    Many true spirit clan Hegemon powerhouses were merely earth kun grade bloodline too.


    Heaven qian grade bloodline was extremely rare!


    Of course, above heaven qian grade, there was an even more powerful chaos grade bloodline.


    But chaos grade bloodline could not be reached postnatal at all. Only prenatal chaos true spirits such as Mi Tian could possess it!


    Some special innate divine abilities could only be executed by chaos grade bloodline.


    This was the reason why Mi Tian was so powerful!


    Ye Yuan breaking through to Emperor Cloud Heaven, coupled with his comprehension in the origin of chaos blood, he only barely broke through battle god grade and reached earth kun grade.


    But this fire phoenix was just Emperor Cloud Heaven, and her bloodline actually reached heaven qian grade already. It could be seen how strong her bloodline was!

 Chapter 2973 - You Just Care About Nirvanic Rebirth!

    On the horizon, several figures were currently closing in at extreme speed.


    The blazing fire was too eye-catching. It could not be hidden at all.


    ��Ye Yuan, accept it! You��re of the human race��s fleshy body and can fuse with phoenix divine blood. This is greatly beneficial to you! Phoenix divine blood can help you comprehend the origin of fire, letting you have the technique to rise from the ashes. The benefits are too many to enumerate. Furthermore, you have the origin of chaos blood. Comprehending bloodline power yields twice the result with half the effort. The more bloodlines, the stronger your strength will be!�� Mi Tian said.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was rather moved too, reaching his hand out to grab, collecting this drop of blood essence.


    The human race��s bloodline power was extremely weak, but their compatibility was extremely high.


    Many human cultivators would think of ways to collect powerful true spirit bloodlines and fuse it into their own bloodline, thus transforming into a powerhouse, which was also the bloodline martial artists that everyone was talking about.


    Bloodline martial artists were often not regarded highly by people. The majority of them were not strong either.


    But that was because high ranking true spirit bloodline was too difficult to come across!


    Those who possessed high ranking true spirit bloodline were all true spirit clan��s powerful existences or descendants. How could it be so easy to obtain?


    Heaven qian grade true spirit bloodline was even what human powerhouses tried their utmost to obtain even in their sleep.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Seeing Ye Yuan accept the blood essence, Feng Qingxuan finally let out a sigh of relief.


    Ye Yuan was the last strand of straw to clutch at. She had no choice now but to place her hopes on Ye Yuan, letting him persevere for a while longer.


    ��Deal. I��ll help protect you! But if Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses appear, I��ll leave!�� Ye Yuan said straightforwardly.


    ��Many thanks, Sir!�� Feng Qingxuan said feebly.


    At the same time, she sneered coldly in her heart.


    If a Vermilion Bird Clan��s Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse came, did you think that you could leave?


    If not because she was at the end of her rope, why would this young lady waste a drop of blood essence to beg a piece of trash such as yourself to help?


    She only hoped that this boy would not be too useless and could last a little longer!


    As long as the nirvanic rebirth this time succeeded, my strength would directly reach grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven. Even if Feng Caihua that old spinster came, I won��t be scared too!


    She did not care about Ye Yuan��s life and death at all.


    In Feng Qingxuan��s view, Ye Yuan would definitely die without a doubt.


    There were not just these five Emperor Cloud Heavens hunting her down.


    Once she entered the nirvanic rebirth state, those pursuers would swarm over.


    At that time, there would even more many upper Emperor Cloud Heaven, even grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven existences that would appear.


    How could this human boy possibly survive?


    Ye Yuan naturally did not know what Feng Qingxuan had in mind and already met with those five Emperor Cloud Heavens.


    ��The Fire Phoenix Clan is conducting business. Get lost if you don��t want to die, boy!�� From afar, the handsome youth in front roared.


    These five Emperor Realm powerhouses all looked human. But the phoenix clan bloodline in their body was very powerful.


    Of course, it was much worse compared to Feng Qingxuan.


    ��Apologies, this Ye has to try my best to do what was entrusted to me. The few of you had better not go over,�� Ye Yuan blocked the way and said.


    Among these five people, four were lower Emperor Cloud Heaven, and one was middle Emperor Cloud Heaven. It was seriously not enough for Ye Yuan to look at.


    His goal was the fire phoenix blood essence. He did not want to kill people.


    Except, he did not want to kill people, but these few people clearly did not plan on letting him off.


    The handsome youth smiled coldly and said, ��Looks like this boy is bewitched by that little slut! To actually stand up for her recklessly and blindly!��


    ��Hahaha �� this boy just came out to the real world, right? He probably doesn��t know what kind of existence my Fire Phoenix Clan is!��


    ��Kid, that little slut is undergoing nirvanic rebirth and deliberately made you come over to court death. If you��re sensible, hurry up and get out of here!��


    The five people did not place Ye Yuan in their sights at all. A mere human ant, they could kill him with a wave of their hands.


    In the same cultivation realm, the Fire Phoenix Clan��s bloodline advantage was too great!


    Ye Yuan could feel that these few had already reached battle spirit rank chaos bloodline.


    Placed in the Fire Phoenix Clan, they were considered youth talents too.


    It was just that, to Ye Yuan, it was completely inadequate.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was unmoved, the handsome youth snorted coldly and said, ��Kid, you��re courting death yourself, then I��ll send you off! Feng Ying, go and kill him!��


    Next to him, the youth called Feng Ying had a disdainful look, and his hand started to form seals.


    ��Fire Luo Sacred Seal!��


    The surging flare directly enveloped Ye Yuan inside.


    Ye Yuan did not even dodge and was swallowed up by the large fire.


    Feng Ying smiled coldly and said, ��Mantis trying to stop a cart!��


    The handsome youth could not even be bothered to look at Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��Come on, that little wench is undergoing nirvanic rebirth. It��s precisely a good chance to kill her. Killing her, we��ll have made great contributions!��


    The five people were just about to move when the flare dissipated.


    Ye Yuan was standing there without moving like he was completely fine.


    The handsome youth jumped in fright, his eyes full of incredulity.


    ��A-A-Are you a human or ghost?�� The handsome youth cried out in alarm.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The few of you are too weak. This Ye can��t be bothered to make a move. It��s better to leave.��


    When the handsome youth heard that, he felt great humiliation.


    In this Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, apart from the four symbols family clans, who dared to speak to them like this?


    A human actually said that they were too weak!


    This was the greatest humiliation!


    The handsome youth��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Attack together! Kill this punk!��


    In an instant, five fire phoenixes suddenly appeared, carrying a terrifying bloodline aura.


    The five people cut across the sky, charging over towards Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and said, ��People should have self-awareness. You all are so weak, don��t you know it?��


    Done talking, Ye Yuan threw a punch out lightly.


    Boom!


    The void trembled, the five fire phoenixes were directly blasted flying.


    The handsome youth somersaulted dozens of times in the air before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    The five people looked at Ye Yuan, their eyes full of astonishment.


    ��Leave!�� The handsome youth fled at a splitting pace without even turning his head back.


    Feng Qingxuan��s consciousness had not completely entered the state of annihilation yet. Seeing this scene, she could not help saying anxiously, ��Sir, why didn��t you kill them?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��I have no grudges nor enmity with them. Why should I kill them?��


    Feng Qingxuan felt like she was going crazy and said anxiously, ��Sir, there are still Fire Phoenix Clan members in the vicinity. You let them leave; they will definitely get reinforcements!��


    Ye Yuan still said calmly, ��It doesn��t matter.��


    ��You!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s heart was burning with anxiety. She actually found an idiot!


    She was also very surprised that Ye Yuan was so strong.


    But she did not think that this kid was simply a complete and utter fool!


    This boy clearly did not have any real world experience, to actually be so benevolent to the enemy.


    Ye Yuan looked at the burning Feng Qingxuan and said coolly, ��You just care about your nirvanic rebirth. As long as an Emperor Vast Heaven doesn��t come, I won��t leave.��


    Feng Qingxuan could not hold back and wanted to let loose a torrent of abuse, but she did not dare.


    If Ye Yuan left, she would really have no hope.


    But how could she let this moron understand that he did something that was foolish to the extreme?


    Was this a problem of you leaving or not?


    Originally, those people could not immediately find her position by sensing.


    But now, with those few fellows leading the way, they could find her in no time.


    Following that, you would be facing dozens of Emperor Realm pursuers!


    Do you know that you��re courting death or not?��


    Feng Qingxuan was burning with anxiety, but she also did not know how to persuade this overweeningly arrogant idiot. She was going crazy!

 Chapter 2974 - Fusing Bloodlines!

    ��Sir, this isn��t a problem of leaving or not! In order to hunt me down, the Fire Phoenix Clan sent out more than ten Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouses this time. Among them, there are even three grand completion Emperor Cloud Heavens! You��ll lure them all over like this! Sir, you can still make it in time if you chase after to kill them now!��


    Feng Qingxuan forcefully endured the fury in her heart and urged with earnest words and the best intentions.


    ��Oh.��


    Ye Yuan just responded lightly and started to sit cross-legged. The phoenix blood essence appeared in front of him.


    When Feng Qingxuan saw this scene, she nearly went crazy.


    ��Sir, refining phoenix blood essence isn��t the work of a single day. Furthermore, it��s very dangerous. You should find a quiet place and enter closed-seclusion to refine it.�� Feng Qingxuan urged once again.


    ��Oh,�� Ye Yuan responded indifferently again and still did whatever he wanted to.


    Feng Qingxuan felt that she was about to collapse. Just what kind of moron did she bump into!


    Can��t he understand human speech?


    Refining like this, you��ll die!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    If you die, who��ll protect me?


    I �� XXXX!


    Feng Qingxuan��s heart was raging with profanities!


    With this young lady��s gentle personality, I��m almost angered until insanity by your idiocy!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    The nirvanic rebirth fire suddenly started to tremble violently and actually showed signs of exploding.


    Ye Yuan gave a glance and said coolly, ��You��d better focus on your nirvanic rebirth. You��ll die like this!��


    Feng Qingxuan was speechless.


    Nirvanic rebirth would not necessarily succeed. In reality, this process was very dangerous.


    One might directly die in the process of nirvanic rebirth.


    Feng Qingxuan��s emotions were extremely volatile right now. It was very easy to fail the nirvanic rebirth.


    Feng Qingxuan virtually wanted to rampage. Wasn��t this caused by you!?


    Seeing before courting death, but never seen before someone who courted death so limitlessly like you!


    Were you sent by heaven to save me or sent to screw me over?


    Feng Qingxuan wanted to cry.


    However, she also understood that at this rate, the nirvanic rebirth would definitely fail. She could only forcefully converge her mind and focus on the nirvanic rebirth.


    Meanwhile, at this time, Ye Yuan had already started fusing the phoenix blood essence.


    When Feng Qingxuan saw this scene, she nearly lost control of her mind again.


    But in the next moment, she was shocked.


    Fusing blood essence was equivalent to letting all the blood in the body be reborn anew. It was a very dangerous and also very painful thing.


    Especially phoenix blood essence, it contained the meaning of narrowly escaped death. The process of the fusion was practically a narrow shave from death, overwhelming to the extent where one wished that they were dead!


    However, Ye Yuan was completely fine.


    It was as if �� he was still somewhat recollecting the aftertaste endlessly.


    Roughly 15 minutes later, Ye Yuan slowly got up, the phoenix bloodline power in his body gushing out.


    Feng Qingxuan was akin to being struck by lightning and said in great shock, ��This �� He succeeded in fusing? My blood essence is heaven qian grade blood essence!��


    An incomprehensible feeling of setback arose spontaneously.


    She suddenly had some doubts, was her own bloodline very trashy or not?


    Why did Ye Yuan fuse with it so easily?


    How could she know that Ye Yuan had obtained the origin of chaos blood? Fusing bloodlines was as easy as turning his hand over to him.


    If it were not for the origin of blood, Ye Yuan naturally would not have been so relaxed.


    But the origin of chaos blood was the source of bloodline in the world.


    No matter what bloodline you were, it could not escape this domain.


    Myriad blood under the heavens, all returned to the origin!


    Under the control of the origin of blood, Ye Yuan did not face too many difficulties in fusing the phoenix bloodline and would not have much risk too.


    ��Roar!��


    Another dragon roar transmitted out, and azure dragon bloodline power emerged from Ye Yuan��s body!


    Ye Yuan��s overwhelming aura rose to the peak in an instant!


    A dragon and a phoenix, two phantoms, appeared behind Ye Yuan.


    A dragon and a phoenix were contending; it was a wonderful and mighty panorama!


    At this moment, Ye Yuan directly broke the fetters of cultivation realm and broke through to middle Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Dao tribulation arrived in response!


    But the current Ye Yuan, his aura was powerful to the extreme, and his strength was also fearsome to the extreme.


    Although Dao tribulation was strong, it could no longer do anything to him.


    Presently, Ye Yuan��s strength grew stronger and stronger, and he already far surpassed the power of heavenly punishment Dao tribulation.


    So the current heavenly punishment Dao tribulation virtually had no more threat to him anymore.


    Feng Qingxuan currently had an impulse to jump out of the nirvanic rebirth.


    Where did this punk appear from?


    He was a divergent cultivator!


    This guy��s strength actually completely outmatched Dao tribulation!


    Was this still called divergent cultivator?


    Divergent cultivators were strong to begin with, but this boy was even stronger than divergent cultivators!


    Perhaps �� this kid can really do it, right?


    With the final strand of consciousness, Feng Qingxuan completely returned to annihilation.


    �� ��


    More than ten figures approached from afar, arriving in an instant.


    The one in the lead had unparalleled beauty. It was just that there was an additional trace of brutal aura between her brows, ruining her peerlessly beautiful looks.


    This woman��s imposing momentum surged to the sky. She had shockingly already reached the grand completion realm of Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Furthermore, in terms of bloodline power, she had reached earth kun grade too!


    Clearly, she was a core disciple of the Fire Phoenix Clan too.


    Bloodline power reaching earth grade rank, they were not some random Tom, Dick, Harry, anymore.


    In the future, there was a possibility of stepping into the Hegemon Realm!


    Of course, it was just a possibility.


    Feng Ninesong had a cold appearance. Looking at the Ye Yuan who was barring the way in front, she said coldly, ��Punk, I��ll give you a chance. Get in front of this young lady and kneel down. I��ll spare your life!��


    Feng Ninesong had a high and mighty appearance. It was as if Ye Yuan was a speck of dust.


    Ye Yuan ignored her but looked towards the handsome youth and said, ��Just now, I spared your life, but you don��t know how to cherish it. Must you come and die?��


    The handsome youth smiled coldly and said, ��Come and die? Hur hur, you probably don��t know who Lord Ninesong is, right? Among the fire phoenix junior generation, Lord Ninesong��s strength is sufficient to rank in the top five! Boy, you dare to offend our Fire Phoenix Clan. You��re dead for sure!��


    Honestly speaking, he was very surprised that Ye Yuan broke through to middle Emperor Cloud Heaven in the blink of an eye.


    But, at the thought that there was Lord Ninesong around, his heart calmed down.


    Could a mere middle Emperor Cloud Heaven overturn the heavens?


    Beside Feng Ninesong, an upper Emperor Cloud Heaven said, ��Kid, Lord Ninesong is ordering you to come over and kneel down. Didn��t you hear it?��


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��This Ye is just trying my best to do what was entrusted by others. You guys �� don��t force me!��


    Feng Ninesong��s expression was cold, and she said, ��Looks like you��re treating this young lady��s words as water rolling off a duck��s back! Feng Ning, break his four limbs and carry me in front of me to kneel down! To dare stand up for that little wench, it won��t be so easy even if he wants to die!��


    Feng Ning was that upper Emperor Cloud Heaven who spoke just now.


    This was her guard. Her strength could not be underestimated. She was more than a level stronger than the handsome youth.


    ��I obey!��


    Feng Ning laughed coldly and attacked fiercely.


    ��Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist!��


    A punch struck, carrying the divine might of the phoenix, covering the sky and blotting out the sun.


    Ye Yuan appeared extremely insignificant under this punch.


    Ye Yuan did not move. Instead, he sized this punch up with interest. The bloodline power in his body started to seethe.


    When Feng Ninesong saw this scene, her pupils constricted, and she said in a cold voice, ��Human ant, to actually dare secretly fuse with my Vermilion Bird bloodline! Death sentence! Also, that little wench actually dared to give blood essence to a human without permission! She can��t clear her name this time!��


    Boom!


    A punch landed, and Ye Yuan waved his hand lightly.


    The phoenix phantom immediately collapsed.


    This horrifying punch was casually resolved by Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2975 - : Phoenix Nine Ensembles!

    ��H-How can this be? The Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist was actually blocked so easily?��


    ��Feng Ning��s strength is extremely strong among her peers. He actually doesn��t even need to make a move?��


    ��Even if he absorbed that little wench��s blood essence, he shouldn��t be so strong either, right?��


    �� ��


    The phoenix race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses were all shocked by Ye Yuan��s effortless force.


    They naturally knew about bloodline martial artists, but no matter how strong bloodline martial artists were, it was also impossible to unleash the power of bloodline fully.


    Otherwise, what was the true spirit race for?


    Although Feng Qingxuan��s bloodline was heaven qian rank, after Ye Yuan fused with it, he could at the very most, unleash the power of battle god grade.


    But Feng Ning��s bloodline was proper peak battle god grade. It was even a minor realm higher than Ye Yuan.


    No matter what, Ye Yuan should not be so relaxed too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    But, the moment Ye Yuan made his move, it was too appalling!


    Currently, Ye Yuan was just involuntarily emitting the aura of the phoenix race. His bloodline power was not displayed.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��It��s impolite not to reciprocate. You should have a taste of my Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist too.��


    Finished saying, the phoenix bloodline in his body erupted.


    ��Earth kun grade! A human actually reached earth kun grade! How is this possible?��


    ��I �� I can just find a piece of tofu to commit suicide with!��


    ��What a strong bloodline aura, I �� I��m so envious!��


    �� ��


    When the phoenix clan powerhouses saw this scene, they virtually wanted to cry.


    A human��s phoenix bloodline was actually same level with Feng Ninesong!


    This was too depressing!


    The improvement of bloodline power was too difficult. They all, these people, were only left with envy and jealousy.


    It was not that Ye Yuan intentionally held back. But, if he erupted with heaven qian grade bloodline, Feng Ning probably could not have even withstood a single move and would definitely have died on the spot.


    Ye Yuan naturally did not mind killing people.


    But, regarding this situation today, he was an outsider to begin with. As for who was right between Feng Qingxuan and Feng Ninesong, he did not know.


    This kind of internal clan power struggle, it was hard to say who was right or wrong.


    The reason why he was guarding here was merely because it was a transaction.


    Ye Yuan had his own principles when doing things, so he did not want to kill people.


    Otherwise, these people in front of him would have long died.


    It was impossible for Feng Ninesong to be his match too.


    In the next moment, Ye Yuan threw a punch out. It was amazingly indeed the Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist that Feng Ning executed just now!


    Feng Ning��s pupils constricted, her mind in great shock!


    Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist was the Fire Phoenix Clan��s secret technique. How did this guy know?


    Furthermore, the power was even so strong!


    Boom!


    Feng Ning vomited fresh blood wildly, her figure flying several tens of thousands of feet out, all the bones in her body broken, looking extremely miserable.


    However, her little life was spared.


    All those present were dead silent.


    The scene was somewhat wrong!


    Originally thought that exterminating this human was just a matter of lifting a hand. Who knew that this kid did monstrous things time and again and was actually so troublesome.


    Feng Ninesong��s expression was already frosty to the extreme as she said in a solemn voice, ��Not only did you dare to secretly fuse with phoenix blood essence, you even dare to secretly learn my Fire Phoenix Clan��s secret technique. Today, this young lady will sentence you to death in the name of the Fire Phoenix Clan!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Miss, withdraw. I really don��t want to kill people. After that miss succeeds in her nirvanic rebirth, I��ll leave. At that time, I won��t mind if you all pursue her again.��


    Feng Ninesong smiled coldly and said, ��It��s too late to only beg for your life now!��


    Ye Yuan was stupefied. Was this young lady misunderstanding something?


    I was clearly warning, how did it become begging for my life when it reached you?


    However, Feng Ninesong was no longer listening to his explanations. The peak earth kun grade bloodline in her body erupted, directly displaying her fire phoenix original form.


    Got to admit, Feng Ninesong was very strong!


    Compared to Feng Ning, she was quite a lot stronger.


    Her strength was not in cultivation realm but an all-round powerful!


    This was the strength bestowed by bloodline!


    It was not without reason that the chaos true spirit lineage could stand at the apex of all the heavens.


    ��It��s the Phoenix Nine Ensembles! Looks like Lord Ninesong is genuinely enraged! That boy is dead for sure!��


    ��Heh, my Fire Phoenix Clan��s Phoenix Nine Ensembles, only earth kun grade bloodline can barely manage to execute the powerful secret techniques! I want to see how this boy blocks!�� Feng Ning said in anger.


    ��Phoenix Nine Ensembles, each ensemble is life and death! Nobody can rival this move!��


    �� ��


    A strange phoenix cry sounded out. Feng Ninesong soared in the sky, circling around indeterminately.


    Ye Yuan looked at this scene without moving his gaze. The origin of blood in his body worked in concert with the phoenix bloodline, continuously analyzing this move.


    He also felt the power of this move!


    This move was even stronger than the dragon race��s Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist. It was the true core secret technique of the Vermilion Bird Clan.


    Coupled with the origin of blood, Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that bloodline fluctuations of Feng Ninesong.


    Observing the actions, understanding the meaning.


    Feng Ninesong��s move did not have too many secrets in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��Boy, prepare to die!��


    Feng Ninesong cried out, swooping down.


    At this moment, the earth seemed to be burning.


    The air became very red under the influence of the Phoenix Nine Ensembles.


    And right at this moment, a phoenix phantom condensed and formed behind Ye Yuan, akin to the original body descending!


    However, it was a Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist again.


    ��Heaven qian grade! My God, how is this possible?��


    ��It turns out that he even concealed his bloodline power. He actually reached heaven qian grade bloodline already!��


    ��I �� F*ck me! Even a human can reach heaven qian grade bloodline, then what is our Fire Phoenix Clan for?��


    �� ��


    Feeling the bloodline power that erupted on Ye Yuan��s body, these Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses actually felt ashamed of their unworthiness.


    This human��s bloodline power flung them ten streets behind!


    Without a doubt, what Ye Yuan fused with was Feng Qingxuan��s blood essence. But even so, how could a human possibly fuse with it 100%?


    Boom!


    Just as everyone was in shock, two phoenix phantoms collided together.


    Feng Ninesong was shaken off, but Ye Yuan was directly blasted several thousand feet flying.


    When he stabilized his figure, a trace of fresh blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.


    Clearly, he was already injured.


    Feng Ninesong��s heart shook wildly. This boy actually perfectly fused with the phoenix blood essence!


    And he relied on the might of the bloodline power to forcibly withstand the Phoenix Nine Ensembles.


    The pride in Feng Ninesong��s was being ravaged mercilessly.


    ��Lord Ninesong is mighty!��


    ��This boy dared to fuse with phoenix blood essence. Exterminate him!��


    ��This kid has exhausted all his tricks. Let him feel the wrath of our Fire Phoenix Clan!��


    �� ��


    Feng Ninesong winning, the envious and jealous Fire Phoenix powerhouses danced with joy.


    So what if bloodline was strong? Your cultivation realm was low!


    ��Boy, do you know that you��ve committed my Fire Phoenix Clan��s taboo? Today, you��ll definitely die!�� Feng Ninesong said coldly.


    She was jealous too!


    Her bloodline power had already reached the limit and could not be improved anymore.


    But this human punk actually perfectly fused with heaven qian grade bloodline!


    Where would she, this Fire Phoenix Clan��s proud heaven��s chosen, put her face?


    In the next second, the Phoenix Nine Ensembles started again!


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was injured again!


    Three attacks in a row, each stronger than the last, Ye Yuan responded to them with the Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist.


    But, after the third time, Feng Ninesong��s moves underwent samsara, executing the first ensemble.


    Ye Yuan knew that this Feng Ninesong only knew or could only display three ensembles!

 Chapter 2976 - Persuade to Surrender

    With Ye Yuan getting injured repeatedly, Feng Ninesong held great advantage. She laughed shrilly and said, ��Kid, do you think that by fusing bloodline, you can be arrogant in front of my Fire Phoenix Clan? You��re still lacking!��


    Ye Yuan was somewhat speechless. This woman looked very proud of herself.


    It was just that, did she not realize that he only used one move from the start till the end?


    Furthermore, it was even the Fire Phoenix Clan��s move.


    He shook his head slightly and said with a sigh, ��It��s just these three moves back and forth. It looks like you only know these three moves in this Phoenix Nine Ensembles.��


    Feng Ninesong��s expression changed, and she said with a cold smile, ��Three moves is enough to kill you!��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Killing people at the drop of the hat, do you really take this Ye to be easy to bully? Although I don��t want to kill people today, I��ll have to leave you with a bit of a lesson too!��


    While talking, the heaven qian grade bloodline in Ye Yuan��s body surged.


    Behind him, the phoenix phantom turned corporeal, flying towards the void and circling indeterminately.


    This scene was shockingly the first ensemble of the Phoenix Nine Ensembles!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The expressions of all the Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses changed.


    ��Phoenix Nine Ensembles? This �� how is this possible?��


    ��This is my Fire Phoenix Clan��s undisclosed secret. Only core members can learn it! Where did this boy learn it from?��


    ��Previously, he had been using the Heavenly Phoenix God Exterminating Fist all along. Now, he learned the Phoenix Nine Ensembles too. Could it be that �� he learned it on the spot?��


    ��How is this possible! The Phoenix Nine Ensembles has a certain bloodline fluctuation. Without the secret technique imparting, it��s simply impossible to learn it! Even if it��s heaven qian grade bloodline, it��s impossible too!��


    �� ��


    Feng Ninesong was extremely shocked in her heart. It was because she felt that Ye Yuan might have very likely secretly learned her Phoenix Nine Ensembles.


    Judging from the time, this boy had only come into contact with Feng Qingxuan, that wench, for a short time.


    That wench did not have the time to impart Ye Yuan such a consummate skill!


    Then, it could only have been that he secretly learned it!


    Learning her secret technique now, this �� was also too heaven-defying, right?


    Furthermore, the moment Ye Yuan made his move, under the augmentation of the heaven qian grade bloodline, the power was even more frightening than her Phoenix Nine Ensembles!


    A light cry!


    The phoenix phantom directly fell, colliding together with Feng Ninesong��s third ensemble.


    Boom!


    Feng Ninesong��s body was like a kite with a broken string, directly being thrown tens of thousands of feet away!


    The expressions of the Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses changed greatly, and they hurried over and discovered that Feng Ninesong��s wings were currently flapping, but she could no longer move.


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air!


    First ensemble versus the third ensemble, he actually beat Feng Ninesong until like this?


    Just how strong was this guy?


    ��Q-Quickly run! This guy is too strong!��


    The group of Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses displayed their movement techniques and were about to flee.


    But right at this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Did I let you guys leave?��


    Everyone who was currently scattering in all directions seemed to have been hit by a paralyzing hex, instantly turning stiff where they stood.


    Even Feng Ninesong was defeated. How could they be Ye Yuan��s match?


    Running away at this time was equivalent to seeking death!


    Previously, Ye Yuan said that he did not want to kill people. They just treated it as a joke.


    But now, they did not think so anymore.


    Ye Yuan looked at everyone and said coolly, ��I know that you guys still have Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses pursuing her. Therefore, for safety��s sake, you all had better stay behind for the time being. After her nirvanic rebirth succeeds, I��ll naturally let you all leave.��


    Feng Ninesong recovered to her human body, her complexion deathly pale as she said, ��I-Is this true?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Would I need to be so long-winded if I wanted to kill you all? However, if I discover that you guys secretly tipped them off, don��t blame me for not being courteous.��


    These true spirit powerhouses naturally had their own unique means of communication.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care. With Mi Tian this major power around, these people��s paltry tricks could not be concealed.


    He had already given them a chance. Whether or not they knew how to cherish it would depend on them.


    Everyone thought about it and felt that it was true. If Ye Yuan wanted to kill people, none of them could escape.


    Hence, the Fire Phoenix Clan pursuers became Ye Yuan��s captives.


    ��He �� He��s actually not killing us. Looks like he��s really not in a clique with that wench!�� Feng Ning said.


    Feng Ninesong shot her a glare. The latter��s neck shrunk, and she immediately shut up.


    However, Feng Ninesong suddenly said, ��What you said is right. He kept saying that he was trying his best to do what was entrusted by others! Most likely, that wench used phoenix blood essence to bribe him!��


    Feng Ning��s eyeballs moved and said, ��Then are we ����


    Feng Ninesong immediately understood and said with a nod, ��Help me over!��


    Ye Yuan took them in as captives. Then he continued studying the phoenix bloodline not far from the nirvanic rebirth area.


    The more he studied, the more Ye Yuan felt the power of the phoenix bloodline.


    Feng Ning helped Feng Ninesong over. Feng Ninesong looked at Ye Yuan, her expression complicated.


    Today, her Fire Phoenix lineage��s pride was completely trampled underfoot by this young man.


    She could feel that there were many secrets on this young man.


    Becoming a captive made Feng Ninesong calm down instead.


    Feng Ninesong was not a fool. Just by relying on a heaven qian grade bloodline, one absolutely could not reach Ye Yuan��s level!


    In the Fire Phoenix Clan, the heaven qian grade bloodline was not Feng Qingxuan alone.


    But, nobody had Ye Yuan��s ability to perfectly replicate the other party��s moves just by relying on the opponent��s bloodline undulation!


    If this kid could deal a counterblow, Feng Qingxuan, that wench would definitely die!


    ��Sir, previously, it was all Ninesong who was too rash. This younger sister apologizes to you here.�� Feng Ninesong bowed slightly, her words full of respect.


    Feng Ning was somewhat surprised. The proud Feng Ninesong would actually lower her head!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��If you want to persuade me to deal a counterblow, sorry then. Stop making futile efforts.��


    Feng Ninesong was taken aback, thinking to herself, what a clever kid!


    The moment she opened her mouth, he guessed her intentions.


    However, she still did not give up and said, ��Sir, Feng Qingxuan is my Fire Phoenix Clan��s wanted criminal. We came to capture her in the name of the clan! As long as Sir can take action, my Fire Phoenix Clan will definitely remember Sir��s kindness of lending your assistance!��


    Since Ye Yuan was so smart, he would definitely know how great the Fire Phoenix Clan��s favor was!


    In this Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, one really could not find more than a few that are greater than the Fire Phoenix Clan��s favor.


    Of course, this was also talking nonsense. She could not represent the Fire Phoenix Clan.


    Ye Yuan opened his eyes and looked at her, looking until the latter felt goosebumps.


    Feng Ninesong secretly sighed in her heart. This kid was too smart!


    ��Sir should be very interested in the Phoenix Nine Ensembles, right? As long as Sir is willing to take action, I��m willing to offer the Phoenix Nine Ensembles up with both hands! Apart from the Phoenix Nine Ensembles, Ninesong still has two secret techniques with power that are not at all inferior to the Phoenix Nine Ensembles. They can all be given! Either way, Sir has already fused with heaven qian grade bloodline. Feng Qingxuan is already of little use to you!�� Feng Ninesong guided skillfully and patiently.


    Ye Yuan still looked at Feng Ninesong and said with a smile, ��I said that I��m trying to do my best what was entrusted by others! If it was just for the sake of phoenix blood essence, why would I need to sit in boredom here? Stop making futile efforts. This Ye has my own principles when doing things. Please go back!��


    Feng Ninesong felt angry. This punk was simply impervious to reason!


    But right at this time, a fire phoenix shot to the sky, soaring above the nine heavens.


    That kind of power was as if a sovereign descending upon the world, being incomparably majestic!


    Feng Qingxuan succeeded in the nirvanic rebirth!


    ��Hahaha �� Feng Ninesong, didn��t expect that I��d succeed in my nirvanic rebirth, right? Prepare to die!�� Above the void, Feng Ninesong laughed charmingly.

 Chapter 2977 - Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity!

    The current Feng Qingxuan was like the noonday sun and actually reached half-step Emperor Vast Heaven in one stroke!


    The success of the nirvanic rebirth this time had far exceeded imagination!


    It was just that the people present were all struck senseless.


    This woman clearly had not figured the situation out yet.


    Sure enough, she discovered that something was wrong very quickly and said, ��Mn? Why are you injured?��


    Following that, she noticed Ye Yuan too and said in surprise, ��You �� are actually not dead yet!��


    In her view, with Ye Yuan facing off against these Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses, he would definitely die beyond a doubt.


    Even if he refined phoenix blood essence, it could not change this result too.


    She understood Feng Ninesong��s strength too well!


    But now, Ye Yuan actually did not die. This made her extremely surprised.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Feng Ninesong rolled her eyes and said crossly, ��Stop showing off. I know that you��re impressive! We��re currently all Ye Yuan��s captives. You can come down!��


    C-Captives?


    Feng Qingxuan nearly fell down from the sky. Ye Yuan alone captured more than ten Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses?


    She focused her eyes to look and discovered that the others indeed all looked scared of Ye Yuan.


    It was actually true!


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible for these people to live together in harmony.


    Feng Qingxuan landed and transformed into an unparalleled beauty appearance.


    In terms of looks, she was a notch above Feng Ninesong.


    Feng Qingxuan sized Ye Yuan up and down, seemingly wanting to see through him.


    This conclusion was seriously too unexpected.


    So many people came to search for her. If it were not for Ye Yuan, it would have been impossible for her to succeed in the nirvanic rebirth.


    However, these could be discussed in the future.


    She looked toward Feng Ninesong and said smugly, ��Feng Ninesong, you all framed me in order to help Feng Qingyu ascend to the throne! But you didn��t expect that you��d have today too, right? You all deceived your superiors and deluded your subordinates, framing me as disloyal. Today, I��ll sentence you to death on the spot!��


    After she was done talking, Feng Ninesong��s aura surged, and she was about to make a move.


    However, Ye Yuan stopped her and said coolly, ��Apologies. I promised to let them go. You guys can go now.��


    Feng Ninesong felt akin to being relieved of a heavy burden and the rest were overjoyed and were about to leave one after another.


    Feng Qingxuan��s expression turned dark, and she said in a cold voice, ��What a joke! When is it your turn to speak here? You all stop for me. Not a single one of you can leave!��


    Even if Ye Yuan made Feng Ninesong and the rest captives, in Feng Qingxuan��s eyes, he was also merely an ant-like existence.


    She was of the high and mighty heavenly qian level bloodline and could look down proudly on the world!


    It was only to see her throw a palm over, wanting to force Ye Yuan to dodge.


    However, Ye Yuan did not dodge or evade at all. Lifting his hand, it was a Phoenix Nine Ensembles.


    Boom!


    The two people each fell back several thousand feet before barely managing to stabilize their figures.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Apologies. The deal between you and me is over. I��ve also done what I promised you. As for them, I promised to let them leave. If you��re still overbearing, don��t blame this Ye for not being courteous anymore.��


    Feng Qingxuan was shocked to the extreme in her heart. When he made his move just now, Ye Yuan was clearly heaven qian grade bloodline!


    Furthermore, he even learned the Phoenix Nine Ensembles!


    How did this guy do it?


    Feng Ninesong also finally understood how Ye Yuan made Feng Ninesong become a prisoner.


    When Feng Ninesong saw this scene, she felt delighted too.


    This monstrous kid that you found, you bear it yourself!


    But Feng Qingxuan had her own pride. How could she possibly shrink back because of a sentence from Ye Yuan?


    Moreover, her cultivation realm was significantly higher than Ye Yuan!


    ��Humph! Heaven qian grade bloodline, is this your pride? Do you think that I, Feng Ninesong, have this sort of trash? Kid, I urge you to move aside. Otherwise, don��t blame me for not being courteous!�� Feng Qingxuan said in a cold voice.


    ��Feng Qingxuan , Sir is at any rate your savior! You��re completely kicking him to the curb after he has outlived his usefulness by doing so! Sir Ye is someone whose words carry the weight of nine tripods. The promise that he made, he��ll definitely do it! Previously, he protected you like this. Now, it��s naturally impossible to let you touch us too!�� Feng Ninesong said in a loud voice.


    Although she was seriously wounded by Ye Yuan, the current Feng Ninesong really admired Ye Yuan.


    This man stood firmly to his word!


    Such a man was not often seen in the heavens and myriad worlds.


    Feng Ninesong snorted coldly. She knew that what Feng Ninesong said was right.


    Her blood essence had already been given. If it was someone else, they would probably have long made their get-away.


    This was clearly a messy situation, but Ye Yuan still persisted in protecting her.


    Although the blood essence was a reward, Ye Yuan having life-saving grace toward her was an undeniable fact.


    Compared to her life, what did blood essence count for?


    It was just that letting Feng Ninesong leave now, she was unwilling.


    Feng Ninesong pursued her all the way. She narrowly escaped death several times.


    Having such a fine opportunity today, if she did not take revenge, there probably would not be a chance anymore in the future.


    Hence, Feng Qingxuan steeled her heart and said in a cold voice, ��Fine, since his words carry the weight of nine tripods, let him be buried in death together with you guys then!��


    A light cry!


    Feng Qingxuan transformed into an incomparably beautiful phoenix, soaring above the sky.


    Phoenix Nine Ensembles, fifth ensemble!


    Nine ensembles, the power of each was stronger than the last.


    And Feng Qingxuan��s heaven qian grade bloodline could completely support her to execute the fifth ensemble.


    Furthermore, the fifth ensemble that Feng Qingxuan executed was much stronger than Feng Ninesong!


    Indeed, her strength was far stronger than Feng Ninesong.


    The moment this move came out, even Feng Ninesong��s expression changed drastically too.


    ��Her fifth ensemble is already mastered to perfection, reaching the realm of grand completion! This power, probably even Sir Ye can��t block it too! Feng Ning, you bring them away first! It will be too late if you still don��t leave!�� Feng Ninesong said anxiously.


    She was currently heavily injured. If Ye Yuan could not block it, she would definitely die beyond a doubt.


    It was just that Feng Qingxuan��s strength and status in the clan were not what she could compare to.


    Feng Qingxuan was a true heaven��s chosen!


    But Feng Ning refused to leave. ��Where Lord Ninesong dies, this lowly one will die there!��


    Ye Yuan was also somewhat surprised. None of these Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses actually left.


    This made him feel great admiration.


    Just based on this, Ye Yuan would not let anything happen to them too.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Two shocking auras rose to the sky from Ye Yuan��s body.


    A dragon and a phoenix, two phantoms, danced behind him!


    These two very different auras actually appeared very harmonious on Ye Yuan��s body, letting his bloodline pressure climb significantly again!


    When everyone saw this scene, they were completely stunned.


    ��Sir Ye��s body actually still has true dragon bloodline! Furthermore, it��s even earth kun grade!��


    ��No, dragon and phoenix, two great bloodlines, are actually in marital harmony, being magnified infinitely on him! His current dragon race bloodline power already reached heaven qian grade too!��


    ��Dragon and phoenix two races are born from chaos, incompatible like water and fire! How can these two great bloodline powers possibly appear on one person at the same time? This �� is too inconceivable!��


    �� ��


    The more powerful the bloodline, the nobler it was.


    True dragon bloodline and phoenix bloodline were both the most noble bloodlines in the world.


    It was impossible for them to blend together!


    But now, these two supreme powers actually formed a perfect unity in Ye Yuan��s body.


    The Fire Phoenix Clan powerhouses present were incomparably shocked.


    Ye Yuan looked at Feng Qingxuan and said coolly, ��This is the move that I��ve just comprehended. Since you��re so stubborn, then I��ll give it to you! Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity!��

 Chapter 2978 - Mountain Challenging!

    Above the void, dragon and phoenix contended in cries!


    Two absolutely different bloodlines superimposed together actually produced an effect of one plus one equals greater than two.


    This was what everyone did not expect.


    The two great bloodlines were completely sublimated under Ye Yuan��s Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity move!


    In an instant, Phoenix Nine Ensembles and Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity collided together, causing a violent shock.


    Even for an expert such as Feng Ninesong, her expression changed drastically when she saw this kind of terrifying power too.


    These two people��s strengths had already far exceeded the scope of ordinary Emperor Cloud Heavens!


    This was a true battle of geniuses!


    Boom!


    Feng Qingxuan��s phoenix phantom directly shattered under the suppression of the dragon and phoenix, two great bloodlines.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    A force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas slammed into her body.


    Feng Qingxuan spurted out a mouthful of blood with a cough, her figure drawing a parabolic curve, falling to the ground.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan was completely unharmed.


    He stood proudly in the air, still recollecting the aftertaste of the feeling just now.


    The power of Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity somewhat exceeded his expectations.


    This move was naturally researched by him based on the origin of chaos blood.


    He did not expect that the power would actually be so great when fusing two supreme bloodlines together!


    ��Senior ����


    ��Mn, I really didn��t expect it turns out that after the bloodlines of dragon and phoenix two races fuse together, it actually has such power! Then if the four great chaos true spirits�� bloodlines can all be fused, then the power ����


    Mi Tian��s voice was also somewhat trembling, clearly quite excited.


    Concerning the fusion of supreme bloodlines, this was simply something impossible.


    Four great chaos true spirit bloodlines, their physical bodies were born for their bloodlines. It was simply impossible to fuse another kind of bloodline.


    The compatibility of human cultivators was extremely high. But, when bloodlines entered their bodies, it would become extremely faint.


    Furthermore, bloodlines were inherently averse to each other. It was impossible to fuse at all.


    If ordinary human cultivators wanted to fuse bloodlines, the only outcome would be being blown up by the confrontation of two great bloodlines.


    But Ye Yuan had the origin of blood. He had dragon blood in his body but the physical body of a human. The convenience of all these created conditions for the fusion of bloodlines.


    If one could really fuse the four great bloodlines, that power would simply be unimaginable.


    ��If it��s possible, I can really try to do it,�� Ye Yuan said.


    However, he also knew that this difficulty was considerable.


    This time, it was luck, for him to encounter someone like Feng Qingxuan who was being pursued.


    Otherwise, heaven qian grade bloodlines were all the precious treasures of the various races. Wanting to obtain it was not so easy.


    As for Feng Qingxuan and the rest, they were long already too shocked to speak.


    When everything dissipated with the wind, only then did they wake up from the dream.


    ��The bloodlines of the dragon race and phoenix race can actually fuse!��


    ��The power after fusion is also a little too strong, right?��


    ��Sir Ye completely defeated Feng Qingxuan at middle Emperor Cloud Heaven! This �� This is simply unimaginable!��


    �� ��


    They were all too clear about Feng Qingxuan��s strength.


    Even under the pursuit of Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses, she still escaped.


    Feng Ninesong examined her own conscience and felt that, compared to Feng Ninesong, she was a complete rookie.


    But this kind of proud daughter of heaven was completely defeated like this.


    ��You guys can leave!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Feng Ninesong��s expression changed, and she said, ��You �� You��re really letting us go?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��This Ye has always kept my word. Since I��ve promised you guys, I��ll naturally let you all go. If you draw the Fire Phoenix Clan to come and kill me, just bring it on.��


    Feng Ninesong smiled bitterly. It turned out that Sir Ye��s heart is like a clear mirror. He knew everything.


    Sure enough, he was a man of his word!


    Feng Ninesong gave Ye Yuan a deep bow and said, ��This matter, Ninesong will definitely keep a tight lid on my mouth. Sir, please rest assured!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hands and said indifferently, ��Suit yourself.��


    Feng Ninesong smiled bitterly again and brought everyone away.


    Fusing bloodlines this sort of thing was a major thing to the various major true spirit bloodlines.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan fused with heaven qian grade bloodline. This was also something that could not be tolerated to the Fire Phoenix Clan.


    Once the Fire Phoenix Clan knew, they would definitely send people to come and kill Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan did not care at all.


    After Feng Ninesong and the rest left, Ye Yuan��s figure moved, heading in the direction of East Billow Region.


    Before traveling for long, he stopped.


    Feng Qingxuan actually kept following him.


    ��Following me for?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��I have nowhere to go.��


    ��Our deal has already ended!��


    ��I feel that you��re still a pretty good person.��


    Ye Yuan was speechless.


    �� ��


    In the Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, the various races�� true spirits mostly lived in tribes.


    The dragon race had many offspring bloodlines that each formed a tribe.


    The powerful ones even had Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    The weak ones did not even reach battle spirit grade bloodline.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy surveyed the world. Wanting to catch the attention of the Divine Dragon Envoy, there was a method called Mountain Challenging!


    Mountain challenging meant that for a person to go to the various major true spirit tribes, challenging the bloodline powerhouses in the clan.


    This was the fastest way to enter Heavenly Dragon Island!


    Dragon City Tribe was a powerful dragon race tribe of East Billow Region.


    Although they considered themselves to be a dragon race tribe, this was actually a tribe based on the Heaven Swallowing Python.


    However, the Heaven Swallowing Python��s dragon race bloodline was very strong too. According to Mi Tian, this tribe had even given birth to heaven qian grade bloodline before.


    Therefore, Dragon City Tribe was a powerful tribe too.


    To do mountain challenging, one could not avoid Dragon City Tribe.


    Ye Yuan and Feng Qingxuan, one in front and one behind, arrived in front of Dragon City Tribe.


    ��Stop! Foolish human, to dare approach the noble Dragon race! Hurry up and get lost!�� In front of the tribe, Ye Yuan was reprimanded by a human male.


    Ye Yuan was shocked. Aren��t you a human too?


    He asked to clear his doubts. The human male sneered and said, ��What the hell do you know? I��m a dragonblood warrior who��s currently evolving towards a noble true spirit!��


    Ye Yuan let out a slight sigh. Perhaps, this was the inferiority complex of humans.


    He knew that Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s humans were very difficult, most of them born by depending on tribes.


    But he did not expect that they were lowly until this extent.


    This dragonblood warrior��s cultivation realm was not low. It had already reached Emperor Realm.


    It was just that his bloodline was a little terrible. It did not even reach battle spirit grade bloodline.


    Emperor Cloud Heavens could be considered a powerhouse of a region too. But, they could only guard the door for the Dragon City Tribe.


    ��I��m here to challenge the mountain,�� Ye Yuan said.


    The human male was taken aback and immediately burst out laughing and said, ��You, a human, coming to the Dragon City Tribe to challenge the mountain? Are you kidding me?��


    However, in the next second, the human male��s expression changed greatly.


    From Ye Yuan��s body, an incomparably pure dragon pressure suppressed him until he could not breathe!


    The human male had a look of horror on his face and said in shock, ��Earth kun grade bloodline! You �� You �� How is this possible?��


    He was seriously unable to imagine that a human��s dragon race bloodline could reach earth kun grade!


    There were far too many dragonblood warriors in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven.


    But, for the vast majority among them, it was impossible to surpass battle soul grade.


    As for battle god grade, those were all existences like the feather of a phoenix and horn of a qilin, being very rare.


    Each one was a supreme powerhouse among bloodline warriors.


    But this young man in front of him actually had earth kun grade bloodline. It shocked him until he could not close his mouth.


    ��Now, can I?�� Ye Yuan looked at the human male and said lightly.

 Chapter 2979 - Displaying Prowess!

    ��What! Someone came to mountain challenge our Dragon City Tribe?��


    ��How long has it been since anyone has dared to mountain challenge our Dragon City Tribe?��


    ��Heh, Scarletplume and Da Yi, two fellows, are both existences at the top of the Mountain Challenger List. Who dares to come?��


    ��Go! Go take a look! I��m curious who��s so impressive!��


    �� ��


    With someone coming to challenge the mountain, it immediately caused a great sensation in the Dragon City Tribe.


    Mountain challenging was a tradition in the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven.


    Wanting to enter the holy land, this was the shortcut.


    Hence, between the various major tribes, they would frequently send youngsters out everywhere to go on expeditions.


    The competition of this younger generation naturally had to determine who was superior, and the Mountain Challenger List was born.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The East Billow Region was extremely vast. The experts were naturally plentiful as clouds too.


    Mountain challengers who could enter the top 500 were all very strong.


    Dragon City Tribe��s Scarletplume and Da Yi, two people, were both top 100 powerhouses, their strengths being very strong.


    However, a measly little Ye Yuan, Scarletplume and Da Yi would not take the field at all.


    Dragon City Tribe was a large tribe. There were not just two mountain challengers.


    ��It��s actually a bloodline warrior! Kid, I urge you to go back where you came from. Don��t make a spectacle of yourself here!��


    ��Hahaha, a bloodline warrior wants to enter Heavenly Dragon Island too! Kid, you��re thinking too much!��


    ��A middle Emperor Cloud Heaven also dares to come to our Dragon City Tribe to challenge. This kid is crazy, right?��


    �� ��


    A series of mocking voices came from all around.


    Bloodline warriors had always been looked down upon by the true spirit race.


    However, they would also frequently hand out some low quality bloodline to humans, creating bloodline warriors, exchanging for their loyalty with this.


    That guard from before was like this.


    In the course of time, the status of bloodline warriors became lower.


    ��Heh, human brat, to dare come to Dragon City Tribe to challenge the mountain, your courage is commendable!�� The one talking was called An Shan. He was also an expert on the Mountain Challenger List, ranked 400 plus, a grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven powerhouse.


    Ranked 400 plus was not weak anymore.


    One could say that among the top 500 powerhouses, the gap was all very small.


    Their bloodline, cultivation realms, strength, they were all very close.


    And Ye Yuan was simply a rookie who had just made his world debut. He was not even on the Mountain Challenger List.


    Just having bloodline power was not enough.


    Ye Yuan glanced at the large snake in front of him and shook his head, and then he said, ��You won��t do, too weak! Doesn��t Dragon City Tribe have any stronger ones?��


    The moment An Shan heard, he was immediately greatly enraged and said, ��Kid, you��ll be beaten to death the way that you��re mountain challenging, got it?��


    Ye Yuan was still indifferent and said coolly, ��You��re so weak. You��ll be beaten to death too!��


    Everyone was shocked. Where did this guy pop out from, to be so arrogant?


    When other people challenging mountains, they all started challenging the weak tribes first, then slowly looked for powerful tribes.


    This hothead was good. The moment he came, he picked the powerful Dragon City Tribe to get started with.


    One had to know that Dragon City Tribe��s top 500 Mountain Challenger List experts reached as many as seven people!


    An Shan��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Start! I already can��t wait to blow you up!��


    Ye Yuan was not long-winded either, dragon race bloodline vibrating, firing out a dragon-shaped mark.


    An Shan also fired out a mark like what he did.


    The two people each accepted the other party��s mark, and the ritual was considered completed.


    Mountain challenging was not allowed to be rejected.


    If a tribe stabbed the mountain challenger in the back, they would suffer the boycotting of all tribes.


    And this ritual represented the battle outcome.


    The victor accepted the other party��s mark, and their own mark would dissipate.


    Once the ritual was completed, An Shan roared and swam over to Ye Yuan.


    ��Heaven Swallowing!��


    An Shan��s large snake body suddenly grew rapidly, opening his gaping maws suddenly.


    A powerful suction force directly swallowed Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not even have time to react.


    Inside the body of a Heaven Swallowing Python formed its own independent space. It could devour myriad lives. This was their innate divine ability.


    Within this space, even the air was something corrosive.


    Before long, the prey would turn into nothingness, virtually without the possibility of escaping.


    ��Hahaha, I was even wondering how capable this kid was. Didn��t expect that he couldn��t even block one move!��


    ��Really too weak! I thought that he could at least struggle a little.��


    ��Made such a big disturbance, it ended like this? How boring!��


    ��There was nothing to look forward to in the first place. How strong can a bloodline warrior be? Scatter, all scatter!��


    �� ��


    This kind of battle appeared too boring.


    Being swallowed by the Heaven Swallowing Python, this was something that everyone was fearful of.


    But Ye Yuan did not even have the strength to fight back and actually dared to come and challenge the mountain. This was a joke to begin with.


    An Shan had a disdainful look and said, ��Just this bit of strength, and you also want to beat me to death? What��s this punk��s brain made �� hurk �� hurk ����


    An Shan was currently posturing when he suddenly started to retch violently as if experiencing extreme discomfort caused by indigestion.


    With this, everyone was shocked.


    Heaven Swallowing Python, known as being able to even swallow heaven, would have indigestion?


    You got to be kidding!


    What was going on with Lord An Shan?


    Could it be �� that punk?


    How was this possible!


    The Heaven Swallowing Python��s talent was extremely strong. Among the entire dragon race progenies�� bloodlines, it belonged to the top existence level too.


    Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to give birth to heaven qian grade bloodline powerhouses too.


    Because of their devouring divine ability, once swallowed, the opponent was basically declared dead.


    This talent could even let them jump realms to challenge.


    But now, what was going on here?


    ��Urgh �� Hurrk ����


    An Shan retch wildly without ceasing. His enormous body fell to the ground with a loud bang, rolling around on the ground.


    ��Come out! Kid, freaking come out! I was wrong! I was wrong! Hurk �� hurk ����


    Everyone was stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied. Even a moron could also tell that An Shan��s internal space was already in mayhem.


    And the culprit was precise Ye Yuan.


    Now, it was not a problem with whether or not to swallow. However, that An Shan desperately wanted to vomit Ye Yuan out, but Ye Yuan was not coming out!


    This �� was awkward!


    But, after entering the space within the body, could one still be so impressive?


    An Shan rolled around on the ground. People clearly saw tears flowing heavily from his eyes. How did he look like an expert?


    He wailed desperately, asking Ye Yuan to come out, but Ye Yuan refused to come out.


    No idea how long he was in agony for. Then a boom was heard. An Shan��s back directly had a large hole that was blasted open.


    A figure jumped out. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    An Shan stopped shouting, the colossal body falling to the ground with a loud bang, his life and death being unknown.


    The whole place was dead silent. Everyone used eyes like looking at a monster to look at Ye Yuan.


    ��This �� This guy punched through Lord An Shan��s internal space? Is �� Is he still human?��


    ��He stayed in the internal space for so long, and he��s actually completely fine?��


    ��If everyone is like him, wouldn��t our innate divine ability become a joke?��


    �� ��


    The Heaven Swallowing Python Clan��s powerhouses only felt a chill.


    Seeing the large hole on An Shan��s back, they were somewhat psychologically traumatized by devouring.


    If the opponent that they swallowed was like Ye Yuan, what to do?


    ��I already said he��s too weak. Is there anyone that��s stronger?�� Ye Yuan said lightly.

 Chapter 2980 - If He Wants to Posture, What Has It Got to Do With Me?

    ��What vicious means! You punched through An Shan��s internal space. It��s equivalent to crippling half his life! Dealing such a vicious blow in my Dragon City Tribe, have you thought of the consequences?��


    In a crowd, a Heaven Swallowing Python slowly swam out, immediately causing a commotion.


    ��It��s Lord Da Yi! He��s going to personally take action!��


    ��Lord Da Yi is ranked 75th on the Mountain Challenger List, his strength being very formidable. This kid is dead for sure!��


    ��He actually dared to cripple Lord An Shan, really courting death!��


    �� ��


    Da Yi��s status in the Dragon City Tribe was extremely high. The moment he took the stage, everyone clearly had worshipping looks.


    That made sense, Da Yi��s ranking was gained from fighting match after match.


    The moment Da Yi appeared, it gave people a feeling of being shaken to the core.


    As if they were being stared at by someone from the netherworld; very uncomfortable.

    ��He��s very strong. You��re not his match! Mountain challenging isn��t done like how you��re doing it now!�� Not far behind Ye Yuan, Feng Qingxuan warned.


    What she was talking about was under the circumstances that Ye Yuan did not utilize dragon phoenix bloodline.


    This was Ye Yuan��s trump card move. It was not good to expose it in front of outsiders.


    Feng Qingxuan not being Ye Yuan��s match, that was just under the circumstance that he used Dragon and Phoenix Prosperity.


    Just based on any single bloodline, Feng Qingxuan examined her own conscience and felt that she could absolutely crush Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s dragon race bloodline was only earth kun grade. Wanting to surpass the same level Da Yi was incredibly difficult!


    Bloodline was not the only thing. Between same ranking bloodlines, the strength might have a huge difference. This had a lot to do with the individual��s talent and lucky chances.


    Clearly, this Da Yi was very strong. Feng Qingxuan felt it!


    Ye Yuan ignored her. This woman was so annoying!


    ��What a joke! He swallowed me the moment he opened his mouth. It was clearly to send me to my doom! Why? Only your Dragon City Tribe is allowed to kill people? I��m not allowed to retaliate?�� Ye Yuan looked at Da Yi and said disdainfully.


    These powerful tribes all had this kind of mentality.


    I could kill you, but if you touched my people, death couldn��t expiate your sins


    An Shan swallowed Ye Yuan in one gulp. He did not hold back in the slightest at all.


    If not for that Ye Yuan��s strength was powerful, he would have already turned into nothingness now.


    Now, Da Yi was actually blaming him for being vicious.


    Da Yi��s expression turned cold, and he said, ��Razor-tongued brat, do you dare to have a fight with me?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Do you think that I only came to bully that sort of weakling?��


    Da Yi snorted coldly and said, ��I hope that you don��t disappoint me too much!��


    The two people mutually gifted a dragon-shaped mark, and the second mountain challenging battle officially began.


    With regards to Ye Yuan challenging Da Yi, the Dragon City Tribe powerhouses were very disdainful.


    Even if Ye Yuan won An Shan effortlessly, it was the same too.


    After all, An Shan was already close to 500th place.


    500th and 75th, there was an insurmountable gulf in the middle.


    ��This kid is really overestimating his own ability! He probably doesn��t even know what the Mountain Challenger List means, right?��


    ��Lord Da Yi challenged the Dragon Abyss Tribe��s Yun Kui the last time. After coming back, he has already been in closed-seclusion for three years! These three years, his strength must have advanced by leaps and bounds again!��


    ��This is good too! He dared to cripple Lord An Shan. Lord Da Yi will definitely make him regret it!��


    ��It��s just that I don��t know how many moves this kid can last under Lord Da Yi��s hands.��


    �� ��


    Da Yi stood in the air and said coolly, ��Kid, make your move! Otherwise, you won��t have the chance.��


    Ye Yuan could not help snickering when he heard it. Some people always liked to posture.


    It was like if they did not posture, they would not be an expert.


    When Da Yi saw Ye Yuan��s snickering, he practically wanted to explode.


    This was merciless mocking!


    However, his words were already thrown out. He still had to maintain the demeanor of an expert.


    Either way, this kid was going to die very soon.


    Ye Yuan was not courteous either. The bloodline power on the body surged. A shocking dragon pressure was released.


    Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist!


    The stronger his strength was, the more his bloodline improved, the more Ye Yuan felt the power of this move.


    This move that Mi Tian imparted had deeply gained the quintessence of dragon race bloodline.


    Ye Yuan knew now that this move was created by Mi Tian himself. When cultivated to the extreme, one could blow a Hegemon Realm powerhouse up with one punch!


    Furthermore, the stronger the bloodline, the greater the power!


    If one executed it with chaos level bloodline, killing ordinary Hegemon Realms would be like playing.


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, Da Yi��s expression changed.


    This punch was too strong!


    Ye Yuan was two minor realms lower than him. He did not place him in his sights at all.


    He was confident that no matter what moves Ye Yuan used, he could block it with ease.


    But, if this punch landed, wouldn��t he be the same as An Shan, having a hole punched through?


    In a hurry, Da Yi opened his gaping maws. A shocking energy ball was released from his mouth.


    However, it was already too late!


    He already lost the initiative in order to posture.


    Ye Yuan had already accumulated his strength to the maximum. How terrifying was the power?


    Boom!


    The void shook violently, and Da Yi��s colossal body was smashed down like a cannon ball.


    With Ye Yuan gaining the initiative, how could he be willing to let it go? Chasing after, it was another Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist.


    Boom!


    The earth fissured!


    When experts exchanged moves, sometimes, it was a matter of an instant.


    Ye Yuan gained the initiative and pummeled him in hot pursuit.


    The Dragon City Tribe��s powerhouses were immediately dumbfounded.


    They never dreamed that this battle would actually turn out like this.


    The God of War Da Yi in their eyes was being brutalized by a human punk!


    The two people fought from the sky into the earth and fought from underground, up to the sky again.


    But Ye Yuan held the initiative from start to end.


    It was completely a one-sided suppression.


    The Heaven Swallowing Python��s physical body was extremely formidable. But at this time, Da Yi��s body had flesh and blood scattering, virtually battered down by Ye Yuan.


    However, Ye Yuan was extremely surprised too.


    Da Yi was really strong. If it were any other grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven, they would have long been turned to residue by him. But Da Yi was still holding on until now.


    Although each move was a hasty response, it could always resolve the majority of Ye Yuan��s attack power.


    In fact, he would even occasionally launch a counteroffensive.


    Those lacking in strength would really let Da Yi make a comeback.


    This kind of powerhouse was completely forged in battle. His strength was extraordinary.


    It was just a shame. Who he ran into was Ye Yuan.


    A fight was a fight; how was there time for you to posture?


    Losing one move, you would lose every move!


    Unsurprisingly, Da Yi did not have the chance to make a comeback either. Ye Yuan would not give him this chance.


    Sometimes, fighting was this simple.


    ��I admit defeat!�� Da Yi��s reluctant angry roar came from above the void.


    Ye Yuan stopped. The Da Yi, who was opposite him, panted heavily. His body no longer had an unscathed spot.


    Dragon City Tribe��s powerhouses opened their mouths wide with looks of disbelief.


    ��A-Admitted defeat just like that?��


    ��Lord Da Yi still has many trump cards that haven��t been used. Why�� why did he admit defeat?��


    ��Despicable! Shameless! This punk won unscrupulously!��


    �� ��


    In an instant, Dragon City Tribe exploded.


    Everyone was cursing Ye Yuan was being shameless. It sounded very nasty.


    They were too clear about Da Yi��s strength.


    But from start to finish, Da Yi did not have the chance to fight back.


    Whatever big move, whatever trump card, he did not use them all.


    This kind of battle was too aggrieved.


    Da Yi himself virtually wanted to explode.


    He lost this fight too aggrievedly!


    Ye Yuan rolled his eyes. Was this group of people all morons?


    If he wanted to posture, what had it got to do with him?

 Chapter 2981 - Unconcealable Sharp Edge!

    ��Kid, I lost to you not because my skills are inferior. It��s just that I somewhat underestimated the enemy!�� Da Yi said unwillingly.


    Regarding this, Ye Yuan just smiled and did not defend himself.


    This kind of justification was too powerless and too feeble.


    Losing was losing; winning was winning.


    Finding a reason for yourself after failure was not what the strong would do.


    Seeing Ye Yuan smile and not speak, Da Yi was even more ashamed and resentful.


    In the crowd, an old man opened his mouth and said, ��Da Yi! A loss is a loss. Displaying shameful courage here will only incur jesting. Do you find it not shameful enough yet?��


    Da Yi��s expression changed, and he bowed to the old man in shame as he said, ��Yes, Patriarch!��


    Ye Yuan was inwardly shocked. He did not expect that this unassuming old man was actually the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan��s patriarch!


    The old man said lightly, ��Scarletplume, you take the stage and play with him! This boy isn��t ordinary. Be careful.��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Behind the old man, another Heaven Swallowing Python swam out and said calmly, ��Yes, Patriarch.��


    With this, the crowd exploded.


    ��Scarletplume is finally going to take action!��


    ��Mountain Challenger List��s 21st place; if this punk can win again, Your Father will swallow that mountain!��


    ��Lord Scarletplume devotes himself to spatial divine abilities. Now, he has already reached the acme of perfection! Patriarch said before that he might very likely step into the realm of Hegemon in the future by relying on this Dao!��


    ��The reason why Lord Scarletplume can rank 21st is that it��s just because his bloodline is a little lousy. It��s only initial-stage earth kun grade. Otherwise, there would be no problem in him getting into the top three!��


    �� ��


    Scarletplume arrived opposite of Ye Yuan, his entire person seeming very calm.


    It was as if nothing happened just now.


    This Scarletplume was different from Da Yi, giving people the appearance of being unmoved even if Mount Tai was crumbling before him.


    This was rather similar to Ye Yuan.


    ��This is a troublesome opponent, be more careful!�� Feng Qingxuan said once more, her face slightly red.


    She said that Ye Yuan was not Da Yi��s match earlier. In the end, she got face-slapped.


    The moment Ye Yuan made his move, Da Yi did not even have the chance to make a move. How embarrassing!


    But this time, she was warning out of good intentions.


    Actually, there was no need for her to warn him. Ye Yuan naturally saw through it long ago.


    A proud opponent, no matter how powerful the strength, it was actually not scary.


    What was truly scary was that kind of opponent who was calm to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan was sizing Scarletplume up. Scarletplume��s gaze was also wandering around on Ye Yuan��s body. Suddenly, he said, ��You��re very strong! I can feel the undulation of spatial rule on your body! Looks like what you��re truly powerful in is actually spatial divine abilities! However, your cultivation realm is a little low. It��s very disadvantageous.��


    With this, Ye Yuan was really shocked.


    This Scarletplume��s perception was also too sharp, right?


    He was currently completely restraining his aura and did not display spatial martial techniques.


    This guy could actually feel it!


    It could be seen how strong he was in spatial rule!


    The Heaven Swallowing Python Clan could be said to have perfectly inherited the spatial talent of the dragon race.


    But, regarding the application of spatial talent, some relied on instinct, while others could control it independently.


    The gap between them was not a tiny bit.


    Ye Yuan had many means, but for mountain challenging, he could only use the dragon race��s talent to go and fight.


    Otherwise, disregarding that he would win unscrupulously, Heavenly Dragon Island would not acknowledge him as well.


    What they wanted were dragon race geniuses, not human geniuses.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Your bloodline is a little low. We��re considered even.��


    Scarletplume smiled and said with a nod, ��Alright, then �� Let��s begin.��


    Ye Yuan nodded slightly. The two people exchanged marks.


    Bloodline was indeed extremely important to the true spirit race.


    Bloodline being a fraction stronger, the power of the martial techniques executed would be a fraction stronger.


    Swoosh!


    In the instant that the two people finished exchanging marks, Scarletplume disappeared.


    ��Spirit Spatial Blade! The moment Lord Scarletplume came up, it��s overkill!��


    ��Lord Scarletplume had once used this move to defeat the rank 29th Meng Zhao!��


    ��So strong! Can��t find his traces at all! This punk is dead for sure!��


    ��This punk chose the wrong opponent! Provoking Lord Scarletplume is his biggest mistake!��


    �� ��


    Dragon City Tribe��s powerhouses instantly exploded.


    Compared to Da Yi, Scarletplume��s status in the clan was higher, and he had more worshipers.


    The moment he made his move, the whole place started cheering.


    Furthermore, everyone was clearly very familiar with this move. It was one of Scarletplume��s killing moves.


    In an instant, Ye Yuan felt as if the surrounding space had turned into a sharp blade, chopping toward him.


    The speed was swift until it made people unable to think.


    Ye Yuan did not have time to think too much, bloodline power flooding out crazily, throwing a punch out on the spot.


    Shattering Space!


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing at, space shattered!


    At once, Spirit Spatial Blade seemingly had nowhere to exert strength, directly turning into nothingness.


    However, Shattering Space this move bombarded the opponent. But Ye Yuan slammed it where he was standing.


    The shattering of space already injured him.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The two people were fighting in the void, and a series of bursting sounds transmitted out.


    The weak ones could not grasp their traces at all.


    These two people were dueling with spatial rule. Their strengths were both hair-raisingly strong.


    It was just that the Dragon City Tribe��s people were still very surprised by Ye Yuan��s strength.


    Originally, when fighting with Da Yi, Ye Yuan did not use his full strength at all.


    Feng Qingxuan��s beautiful eyes flickered, incomparably shocked in her heart.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so strong!


    She thought that the reason why Ye Yuan was strong was just because he fused with bloodline.


    With a single bloodline, Ye Yuan��s strength was not very strong.


    But she discovered that she was wrong!


    This battle really exposed Ye Yuan��s powerful strength.


    This was because his opponent was too strong!


    Ye Yuan��s application of bloodline had virtually reached perfection.


    She pondered about it. She was of the heaven qian grade bloodline, but she was unable to do better than Ye Yuan too.


    ��Lass, you shouldn��t show up here!��


    Feng Qingxuan was startled and discovered that the Dragon City Tribe��s patriarch had arrived next to her at no idea when.


    But very soon, she calmed down and said calmly, ��This man makes me very curious!��


    The patriarch smiled and said, ��He��s very strong. He shouldn��t be a bloodline warrior! But he isn��t Scarletplume��s match!��


    Feng Qingxuan snorted coldly and said, ��His cultivation realm is just lower.��


    Clearly, she did not feel optimistic about Ye Yuan either.


    People with outstanding visual prowess all saw through that Ye Yuan did not stand a chance at all.


    The patriarch smiled and said, ��That��s because you don��t know Scarletplume! In our Dragon City Tribe, the number one genius was originally Da Yi. Scarletplume was just an unassuming minor character. He was completely living under Da Yi��s light. But ever since he stepped on the road of mountain challenging, his sharp edge couldn��t be concealed anymore! Can you imagine, 200 years ago, he was just battle spirit grade bloodline?��


    Feng Qingxuan��s pupils constricted. This time, she was really shocked!


    Roughly 200 years ago, just battle spirit grade bloodline!


    And then 200 years later, earth kun grade bloodline?


    How �� monstrous was this?


    In the true spirit race, talent was innate.


    Breaking the shackle of bloodline was harder than ascending to heaven.


    She, Feng Qingxuan, was naturally heaven qian grade bloodline!


    It was impossible for those battle spirit grade bloodline true spirits to reach earth kun grade for all their lives, let alone talk about heaven qian grade.


    But this Scarletplume could actually reach this step in 200 years. It was truly inconceivable!

 Chapter 2982 - Scarletplumes Terrifying Ability!

    ��In over 200 years, several thousand major and minor battles, not a single defeat! He grew from a little fellow who was unknown to the public into a powerhouse that daunts people! Of course, the scariest thing about this kid isn��t his battle result of flawless victories, but his terrifying learning ability! After each battle, his improvement would be very shocking.��


    ��Don��t look at how he��s only 21st place. What his opponents ranked in front of him are most afraid of is his challenge! This kid is destined to stand at the summit! In the future, regardless of whether or not he can enter Heavenly Dragon Island, he��s definitely able to step into the realm of Hegemon! Therefore, this man that you��re interested in doesn��t have any chance of winning!��


    The patriarch had indescribable pride when talking about Scarletplume.


    However, what he said was really very frightening.


    Scarletplume��s road to maturity was simply too dazzling.


    He was not a genius in the traditional sense, but he was absolutely a terrifying existence.


    Going against the wind all the way, achieving his present accomplishments, Scarletplume was simply a miracle.


    Feng Qingxuan also had a look of shock on her face. She did not expect that who Ye Yuan challenged was actually such an opponent.


    This �� was completely looking for abuse!


    Boom!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    As if affirming what Feng Qingxuan was thinking, Ye Yuan was slammed down by a punch from Scarletplume.


    This scene was similar to the one just now.


    Previously, Ye Yuan beat Da Yi until he did not have the slightest strength to fight back.


    But now, Scarletplume was beating Ye Yuan until he did not have the strength to fight back.


    From the beginning until now, Ye Yuan was basically in a situation of being passively beaten.


    Scarletplume��s devastation was all-around.


    Dragon City Tribe completely boiled over with excitement!


    ��Lord Scarletplume is really cool to the max!��


    ��Impressive! Impressive! Impressive! Lord Scarletplume is really an invincible existence!��


    ��I admit that that punk is very formidable. But it also serves as a foil that Lord Scarletplume is even more formidable like this!��


    ��Several thousand matches and yet to taste defeat! Who does this punk think he is, to actually dare challenge Lord Scarletplume?��


    �� ��


    Being swept away by Ye Yuan for two matches in a row, Dragon City Tribe��s powerhouses felt a loss of face.


    But, luckily, they had Lord Scarletplume!


    With him around, victory was guaranteed!


    ��Ground Thorn!��


    The mountain full of hubbub could not affect Scarletplume at all.


    Only to see him point his fingertips, undulations appeared in space again.


    Countless earth spikes suddenly grew out of the earth.


    Ye Yuan��s figure was currently falling. Once pierced, he would become a hedgehog.


    ��Shattering Space!��


    Once again, Ye Yuan used this move.


    He forcefully used the backlash force and forcibly made his body change directions in the air, avoiding the Ground Thorn.


    However, in the next second, Scarletplume was already waiting for him!


    ��Shattering Space!��


    It was only to hear Scarletplume yell out. He actually launched the exact same move as Ye Yuan!


    The void shattered!


    Tidal water-like energy undulations completely submerged Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan was greatly astonished in his heart. Having no time to think too much, a Shattering Space rumbled out again.


    Boom!


    The void trembled, and Ye Yuan��s figure flew out backward, but Scarletplume did not budge an inch.


    Scarletplume looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, ��It turns out that spatial rule can still be applied like this. You really broadened my horizons! Thank you for letting me comprehend a deeper level spatial rule!��


    Ye Yuan��s body was covered with scars everywhere.


    He did not gain the slightest advantage in this exchange of blows.


    Or should one say he was completely being passively beaten?


    He did not think that Scarletplume was actually so strong!


    What was even more frightening was that the other party��s learning ability was extremely strong.


    In the midst of battle, he actually comprehended his Shattering Space move!


    Shattering Space this move naturally originated from Mi Tian.


    With regards to the understanding of spatial origin, he had no equal in every heaven and myriad worlds.


    Mi Tian was just his original name.


    His Hegemon title was actually Hegemon Space!


    Across the heavens and myriad words, there were numerous powerhouses. It was also not that there were no Hegemons who comprehended spatial origin.


    But only Mi Tian was crowned the title of Hegemon Space!


    It could be seen how far he walked on this path.


    Shattering Space this move was one of Ye Yuan��s trump cards. It had immense power.


    But he never expected that Scarletplume actually completely stole it in the midst of battle.


    This kind of opponent, it was really his first time encountering in his life.


    Ye Yuan had absolute confidence in himself.


    He was not proud, but he had never underestimated his own abilities.


    Ye Yuan knew that his talent and strength were absolutely not inferior to anyone else.


    It was just that he did not expect to actually encounter such a powerhouse in the Dragon City Tribe.


    Sure, he could find many excuses, such as his cultivation realm being inferior to his opponent, such as he had engaged in battle consecutively.


    But Ye Yuan was not Da Yi. He would not make excuses for himself.


    He admitted that in terms of absolute strength, he was inferior to Scarletplume!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan clearly felt that Scarletplume became stronger than at the start, in the midst of battle!


    This guy was simply born to fight.


    Especially when encountering an opponent like Ye Yuan, it unleashed his potential even more.


    Scarletplume��s battle was like playing chess.


    You thought of three steps; he already thought of beyond ten steps.


    Prediction, application of moves, it was all precise to the extreme.


    It was Ye Yuan��s first time feeling helpless!


    ��No need to thank me! I still have many moves; you can comprehend even more!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Then I��ll really have to witness it! I also didn��t expect that you��re really a superb opponent!�� Scarletplume said.


    Up until now, Scarletplume showed neither joy nor sorrow all along.


    He did not pat himself on the back because he had the advantage and was also not overjoyed because he learned the method of utilizing space.


    Everything was like it was someone else��s business.


    Got to admit, such an opponent was too troublesome.


    ��World Suppression!��


    Ye Yuan threw a punch out. Space fluctuated.


    Terrifying force grew stronger and stronger with each layer of space that arose.


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Scarletplume��s eyes.


    It was as if a shark smelled the scent of blood.


    Ye Yuan��s moves had greatly broadened his horizons.


    ��Oh!��


    From below came a series of exclamations.


    Clearly, they also felt the terror of this move.


    ��Shattering Space!��


    Scarletplume unleashed this move again.


    Boom!


    The terrifying energy undulation sent each of them flying.


    But the look in Scarletplume��s eyes became incomparably bright.


    It was like Ye Yuan opened a new door for him.


    ��Impressive! Really too impressive! You really make my hot blood boil!�� Scarletplume said excitedly.


    ��Huhu, saw it? This is Scarletplume! No matter how strong you are, unless you instantly kill him in one move, he��ll always grow stronger in the midst of battle! His opponents were usually much stronger than him. But nobody could beat him! He is naturally born to fight!��


    ��This kid called Ye Yuan, his comprehension in spatial rule is extremely deep. Shattering Space and World Suppression, the power of these two moves are also ridiculously strong. But Scarletplume will become stronger in this kind of fights! His opponents will always despair because of this!�� The patriarch said with a smile.


    Feng Qingxuan was silent.


    Ye Yuan��s combat power was really strong until it made her extremely surprised.


    No matter whether it was Shattering Space or World Suppression, they were both moves that were strong until they made people despair.


    But to Scarletplume, they were moves that made his opponents despair!

 Chapter 2983 - First Form of Space, Wave Washing Sand!

    ��World Suppression!��


    Scarletplume opened his gaping maws and actually unleashed Ye Yuan��s move.


    Terrifying energy undulations came from the void.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan spurted a mouthful of blood with a cough, his figure shooting out backward.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re really a treasure vault! I didn��t expect that spatial rule could actually be applied like this! You are really too amazing!��Scarletplume said excitedly.


    The comprehension of spatial rule and its application were seriously too difficult.


    His harvest today was even more than what he reaped in his previous thousands of fights.


    In his eyes, Ye Yuan was completely a treasure boy that could let him continuously excavate and continuously improve.


    Ye Yuan wiped the fresh blood from the corners of his mouth, and he said with a grin, ��It��s fine. There��s still a lot more. Slowly learn!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    ��Successive Magnificence!��


    ��Illuminating Day!��


    ��Unparalleled!��


    ��Tian Dun!��


    ��Echo!��


    ��Jade Cicada!��


    Ye Yuan shouted one after another loudly, and a series of terrifying undulations came from the void.


    Each move was stronger than the last!


    The Scarletplume who originally held the absolute advantage was actually suppressed by Ye Yuan.


    These eight moves were all imparted by Mi Tian.


    Being grouped together, it was named Spatial Eight Styles!


    Of course, with Ye Yuan��s bit of cultivation realm, he could not unleash the full potential power of Spatial Eight Styles at all.


    But one-shotting those in the same rank was a definite thing.


    Spatial Eight Styles was painstakingly created by Mi Tian. It was where his lifelong insights into spatial origin lay.


    These eight styles that Ye Yuan used were, at the very best, simplified versions.


    But the power was already sufficiently strong.


    The moment Ye Yuan erupted, the Dragon City Tribe was shocked.


    They all thought that Ye Yuan was already an arrow at the end of its flight. Who could have thought that he actually still had so many contingency moves?


    ��This kid is also too strong!��


    ��Just based on these eight moves, his comprehension in spatial rule is more than a level stronger than Lord Scarletplume!��


    ��To be able to suppress Lord Scarletplume with middle Emperor Cloud Heaven cultivation, this kid is remarkable enough too. It��s just a shame that �� heh heh.��


    ��It��s just a pity that his moves will become Lord Scarletplume��s moves very soon!��


    �� ��


    Although they were surprised by Ye Yuan��s suppression, they were not worried.


    They were perfectly clear about Scarletplume��s might.


    Improving in the midst of battle, learning in fights, without end!


    The stronger the opponent, the more miserably they would often lose!


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, his cultivation realm was too low after all.


    When Scarletplume became even more powerful, he would naturally reverse-suppress Ye Yuan.


    Scarletplume, who had always been calm to the extreme, actually became agitated too.


    In the battle, he laughed loudly and said, ��Impressive! Truly impressive! My comprehension of spatial rule is seriously too shallow! Thank you, Ye Yuan, for opening up a whole world for me!��


    Scarletplume, who was being suppressed, did not feel any frustration at all. He became more and more excited instead.


    Ye Yuan was unmoved and did not fear the other party secretly learning either. One move after another, they fought until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open.


    Below, the patriarch was also rather excited as he said, ��This youngster really exceeded this old man��s expectations. His comprehension of spatial rule is extremely deep. He can definitely pry into origin realm in the future! What a fortune, to have him come to our Dragon City Tribe, and let Scarletplume have such a fine opponent!��


    While Feng Qingxuan was secretly anxious as she cursed, ��This boy is really dumb! Doesn��t he know that this will make his opponent get stronger and stronger? Exposing all of his trump cards, but can��t defeat his opponent, really stupid to the max!��


    At this point, Feng Qingxuan did not think that Ye Yuan would win at all.


    The opponent was too terrifying!


    And the patriarch��s excitement was also that Ye Yuan, this opponent, could let Scarletplume grow greatly, being not surprised at how formidable he was.


    No matter how formidable, he was also just a stepping stone of Scarletplume.


    The stronger the opponent, the more limitless Scarletplume��s future accomplishments.


    Regarding this point, the old patriarch was all too clear.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The fight became more and more intense, but Scarletplume��s growth was visible to the naked eye.


    Everyone saw that he was currently digesting Ye Yuan��s spatial rule rapidly.


    However, this process was much slower than they imagined.


    Spatial Eight Styles was too difficult and complicated!


    ��Successive Magnificence!��


    ��Illuminating Day!��


    ��Unparalleled!��


    ��Tian Dun!��


    �� ��


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re no longer my match anymore! After I completely digest these eight styles, it will be enough to rank in the top five of the Mountain Challenger List��s rankings!�� Scarletplume said excitedly.


    His understanding of Spatial Eight Styles was still only on the surface.


    The reason why it was powerful was because of the support of his cultivation realm and spatial rule.


    With his horizons, no matter what moves he executed, the power would not be weak.


    If all the techniques of the Spatial Eight Styles were so easy to learn, it would have been impossible to become Mi Tian��s trump card too.


    But he could slowly digest these spatial rule comprehensions, turning it into his own eventually.


    This was also the reason why his improvement was so great.


    Ye Yuan still ignored Scarletplume and just made one move after another.


    ��Jade Cicada!��


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan was directly slammed flying out, getting injured again!


    Scarletplume looked at Ye Yuan and said with a loud laugh, ��Alright. All your spatial rule comprehensions, I��ve already learned them! This battle ends here! You didn��t kill An Shan and didn��t kill Da Yi. I��ll spare your life too. Concede defeat!��


    Ye Yuan stood up with some difficulty. Looking at Scarletplume, he suddenly smiled.


    That smile made Scarletplume feel somewhat uncomfortable.


    Ye Yuan��s face did not have any depression from failure.


    ��Scarletplume, you really surprised me a lot! You are a very powerful opponent! But you��re not the only one who improves in battle! HAH!��


    Ye Yuan roared, and the dragon race pressure on his body suddenly erupted.


    Earth kun grade bloodline crushed many people until they could not breathe.


    But his aura did not stop here.


    Boom!


    The bloodline pressure did not stagnate in the least bit, directly breaking through earth kun grade, reaching heaven qian grade!


    Heaven qian grade bloodline!


    At this moment, everyone was shocked.


    ��This guy actually broke through to heaven qian grade bloodline in the middle of a fight?��


    ��It��s too fake, right? When did bloodline become so easy to upgrade?��


    ��Earth kun grade to heaven qian grade, this is hell-difficulty, how did he do it?��


    �� ��


    To the true spirit race, the hardest to advance was not cultivation realm, but it was bloodline!


    The higher up, the more difficult!


    Especially reaching earth kun grade, even a tiny improvement was as hard as ascending to heaven.


    As for earth kun grade to heaven qian grade this threshold, virtually no one could cross it.


    The dragon race��s heaven qian grade bloodlines were mostly innate.


    Those who promoted post-natal were extremely, extremely few.


    But now, Ye Yuan broke through in front of everyone!


    As dragon race descendants, how could they not be shocked?


    Scarletplume had a look of surprise too. However, he still shook his head and said, ��Heaven qian grade bloodline? I admit it. You are indeed very strong! But, thanks to you, my current strength has already improved significantly. Heaven qian grade bloodline isn��t enough yet!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Is that so? Then, you try receiving a move from me!��


    Scarletplume could not help laughing and said, ��You should be clear that these eight moves are no longer useful against me! Even if you broke through to heaven qian grade bloodline, it��s the same too.��


    Ye Yuan did not speak, a hint of a dangerous smile flashing across the corners of his mouth.


    In a blink of an eye, the overwhelming aura on his body suddenly changed.


    ��I just created this move! Try receiving it! The first form of space, Wave Washing Sand!��

 Chapter 2984 - His Growth Was Greater!

    Scarletplume��s pupils constricted, immediately feeling the change in Ye Yuan��s body.


    But he did not care.


    Because from the beginning until now, he had never used his own trump card ultimate move!


    ��Hur hur, since that��s the case, then I��ll let you witness my trump card too! Watch closely, Dragon God Bow!��


    Behind Scarletplume, a pair of red wings was actually born, his bloodline power instantly rising to the extreme!


    This move was his ultimate trump card.


    Fighting with Ye Yuan until now, he never used it either.


    The moment this move came out, it caused an uproar again.


    ��It��s Dragon God Bow! Lord Scarletplume is finally using this move!��


    ��No, wait, this isn��t Dragon God Bow! The power of this move is much stronger than Dragon God Bow!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    ��What the hell do you know! Lord Scarletplume comprehended a lot of that boy. He fused his comprehension into Dragon God Bow!��


    ��So that��s how it is! Lord Scarletplume is really too awesome!��


    �� ��


    This move was clearly extremely popular in the Dragon City Tribe.


    As soon as Scarletplume used it, the whole place seethed with excitement.


    As if Ye Yuan��s defeat was already a foregone conclusion.


    It was only to see Scarletplume bend his body and bow in Ye Yuan��s direction.


    Boom!


    The sky exploded!


    A raging to the extreme, but immaterial energy, collapsed toward Ye Yuan through space.


    A perfect combination of bloodline and space!


    Furthermore, Scarletplume was really a genius. He directly integrated the spatial rule utilization that he learned from Ye Yuan, turning it into his strongest ultimate technique!


    The power of this move was explosive!


    At the same time, Ye Yuan moved too!


    However, compared to Scarletplume��s huge commotion, it seemed a little quiet on his side.


    There was naturally a series of contemptuous voices in the Dragon City Tribe.


    This was your so-called ultimate move?


    It was also too weak, right!


    Boom!


    Space shattered, and energy exploded!


    The shattered space seemingly turned into a giant rolling wave, rushing toward Scarletplume, just like the name Wave Washing Sand!


    Space was shattered into grains, drawing a wave above the void. It was too beautiful.


    The two ultimate techniques that two great geniuses created themselves collided together without the slightest flashiness.


    Boom!


    The earth trembled heavily, and mountains swayed.


    Those who were slightly weaker could not stand firm at all.


    In the next second, everyone was greatly shocked!


    It was only to see that above the void, Scarletplume suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth wildly, his enormous body unable to stand anymore, falling from the void.


    Boom!


    The ground directly had a large hole smashed out.


    ��D-Defeated?��


    ��This is impossible! How can Lord Scarletplume be defeated?��


    ��Lord Scarletplume, hurry up, quickly fight back!��


    ��It��s merely losing one move. It��s no big deal!��


    ��Lord Scarletplume, hurry up and come out to take care of this punk!��


    �� ��


    Dragon City Tribe, everyone was cheering Scarletplume on.


    But, inside the large hole, Scarletplume did not respond for a long time.


    Everyone��s hearts thumped, having a bad feeling.


    Ye Yuan slowly landed and also took a long time before catching his breath.


    This fight was really difficult.


    However, thanks to Scarletplume, he unleashed all of his potential. Not only broke through his bloodline bottleneck, but he also even created an ultimate spatial technique that belonged to him.


    Concerning Mi Tian��s Spatial Eight Styles, all the moves were extremely powerful. But those were part of Mi Tian��s inheritance after all.


    What belonged to oneself was the strongest.


    Under Scarletplume��s pressure, Ye Yuan finally achieved mastery of the eight styles through a comprehensive study of the subject, comprehending the strongest move, Wave Washing Sand!


    It was just that when Ye Yuan made his move, he condensed his strength without dissipating. That was why it seemed weak.


    But what Scarletplume, who had a showdown with him, received was a heaven-shocking blow!


    Under this blow, he absolutely did not have the strength to fight back anymore.


    Scarletplume was extremely talented. His comprehension ability was extremely strong.


    But, comparing comprehension ability, he, Ye Yuan, examined his own conscience and felt that he did not lose to anyone!


    Walking all the way until today, what he relied on was not a powerful bloodline, heaven-defying inheritance, but his comprehension ability that was powerful until it made people despair!


    Alchemy Dao, Formation Dao, spatial rule, the power of origin, without heaven-defying comprehension ability, how could Ye Yuan possibly go step by step from the mortal world to the peak of myriad worlds, even talking with Hegemons?


    Scarletplume grew in battles. How was he, Ye Yuan, not the same?


    ��I �� I lost!�� From the large pit came Scarletplume��s feeble and reluctant voice.


    Since his mountain challenging started, he had yet to taste defeat!


    Scarletplume��s character was extremely strong, but such a failure still made him reluctant.


    Dragon City Tribe instantly exploded!


    The old patriarch��s face had a disbelieving look of shock.


    Feng Qingxuan also had a look of shock on her face. Clearly, she did not quite dare to believe this conclusion.


    But Scarletplume already lost. Could it still be fake?


    Feng Qingxuan came back to her senses and said with a light smile, ��The genius that you all take pride in seems to have lost? Old patriarch, in comparison, it seems like the man that I��m curious about is even more extraordinary.��


    The old patriarch looked at her and muttered, ��But how is this possible? Scarletplume has clearly already grown tremendously during the fight!��


    Feng Qingxuan smiled and said, ��That��s because Ye Yuan grew more during the fight! Scarletplume is very strong. He��s even stronger than some heaven qian grade bloodline. But it��s also precisely because of this that it thoroughly stimulated Ye Yuan��s potential!��


    ��This �� This ����


    The old patriarch still did not dare to believe it, but at his age, he knew that what Feng Qingxuan said was right.


    Breaking through bloodline in the midst of battle, comprehending an incredibly powerful move.


    What was more monstrous than this?


    He originally thought that Ye Yuan was Scarletplume��s stepping stone.


    But only now did he know that Scarletplume��s existence was only to serve as a foil to Ye Yuan��s monstrousness!


    More growth meant that his talent was greater!


    ��This �� How is this possible? Lord Scarletplume actually admitted defeat?��


    ��Lord Scarletplume has fought thousands of battles without a single defeat! Today, it��s actually ended?��


    ��I don��t believe it! I don��t believe it! Lord Scarletplume won��t lose!��


    �� ��


    Clearly, Scarletplume had an extremely strong fan base in the Dragon City Tribe.


    Even if Scarletplume admitted it himself, they were also not willing to believe that the god of war that they worshipped had actually been defeated.


    In their hearts, Scarletplume was invincible!


    Invincible, how could he be defeated?


    In the large pit, Scarletplume could no longer move.


    Ye Yuan appeared next to the pit and looked down at him from a height.


    ��T-Thank you for sparing my life!�� Scarletplume said.


    Ye Yuan looked at Scarletplume and said calmly, ��You��re very strong. It��s a shame if you die. Keeping you around is useful; you still have important things to do. The Spatial Eight Styles, just take it as a present for you.��


    The Chaos Bloodstone was about to come into being. All the heavens would fall into chaos.


    With a genius like Scarletplume, it was naturally the more the merrier.


    This Scarletplume was a battle fanatic. He did not harbor evil intentions. Therefore, Ye Yuan pulled his punches at the final juncture. That was how Scarletplume was spared.


    Otherwise, under Wave Washing Sand, Scarletplume would already be a dead man.


    As for Spatial Eight Styles, Ye Yuan did not mind it being learned by Scarletplume.


    This set of styles, even if it was given to some people to learn, they would not be able to learn it too.


    There were too few who could comprehend spatial rule.


    ��T-Thank you!�� Scarletplume said.


    Being defeated by Ye Yuan, he felt very frustrated, but he would not resign himself to his fate.


    He was a powerful expert and not some silkpants. Otherwise, he could not have walked until this step today as well.


    This kind of defeat would only make him become stronger.


    But at this time, he felt a feeling of appreciation toward Ye Yuan.

 Chapter 2985 - Divine Dragon Envoys Invitation!

    ��Have you heard? There��s a new guy that appeared recently who��s mountain challenging everywhere. He has already taken on the top 100 powerhouses on the Mountain Challenger List!��


    ��I heard it too. This guy is fierce! Dragon City Tribe��s Scarletplume made his world debut over 200 years and never had a single defeat. In the end, he was taken down by him. Too freaking impressive!��


    ��His first stop was the Dragon City Tribe, taking on three cities in a row! After defeating Scarletplume, he went to challenge quite a few in the top ten, and he won all of them in the end! Where did this guy pop out from?��


    ��This guy is a freak. He��s clearly a human, but his bloodline already reached heaven qian grade, too terrifying!��


    ��I heard that his next target is our Dragon Abyss Tribe!��


    ��Heh, no matter how formidable he is, he��s not Long Yi��s match too! For so many years, how many people wanted to challenge his position? They all ended up losing! Lord Long Yi��s strength is simply unbeatable in Emperor Cloud Heaven!��


    ��That��s for sure! Just based on this punk, he dares to challenge Lord Long Yi��s position too, simply a fool��s talk!��


    �� ��


    Two years had already passed since challenging Scarletplume.


    In these two years, Ye Yuan mountain challenged everywhere, virtually picking on East Billow Region��s powerful tribes without tasting a single defeat!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Ye Yuan��s reputation had already spread throughout the East Billow Region.


    He was different from others, so it caused a great sensation.


    When others made a challenge, the majority started challenging the weak ones, slowly going toward stronger opponents.


    But Ye Yuan challenged Dragon City Tribe the moment he came up.


    Following that, he consecutively challenged another ten powerful tribes.


    Of the powerful ones, there were even the top five on the Mountain Challenger List!


    This kind of battle achievement, it would not do even if you did not want it to cause a stir.


    Of course, this was also the effect that Ye Yuan wanted to achieve.


    Ranking at the top of the Mountain Challenger List within the shortest time!


    The surrounding people��s conversation landed in the ears of a male and female, two youngsters.


    ��Right now, people in the entire East Billow Region are all singing praises of your deeds. Shouldn��t you be a little proud? You��re really hypocritical,�� Feng Qingxuan said.


    Ye Yuan was very annoyed, ignoring her.


    This woman followed him for two years just like that. He could not even shake her off.


    His movements were too big. He had no way of shaking her off at all.


    Later on, this woman even broke through to Emperor Vast Heaven. Ye Yuan was even more unable to shake her off.


    ��I heard that this Long Yi is heaven qian grade bloodline, his combat strength closing in on Emperor Vast Heaven! Do you think that you��re his match?��


    ��This season��s Mountain Challenger List is going to be out in these two days, right? With your battle achievements, it��s enough to rank in the top five!��


    �� ��


    From start to end, it was all Feng Qingxuan alone talking.


    Dragon Abyss Tribe was very large. The members were also very strong. The two of them had already arrived at the outer periphery of the tribe.


    Recently, the Dragon Abyss Tribe gathered a large batch of powerhouses. These people all wanted to watch Ye Yuan and Long Yi��s fight.


    Therefore, dragons and snakes were mingling together in the outer periphery of the Dragon Abyss Tribe.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance naturally did not get too many people��s attention.


    The objective of coming here was naturally to challenge the Dragon Abyss Tribe��s powerhouses.


    Mountain Challenger List��s first place Long Yi and second place Wu Fa were both in the Dragon Abyss Tribe!


    As for the third place, he had already been beaten down by Ye Yuan!


    Actually, this was not anything surprising.


    Two years ago, Scarletplume comprehended the Spatial Eight Styles. His strength was already sufficient to enter the top three.


    Ye Yuan directly defeated him. Ye Yuan naturally had the strength to enter the top three.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. Someone shouted at the top of his voice, ��The new season��s Mountain Challenger List is out! The new season��s Mountain Challenger List is out!��


    With this, everyone was boiling over with excitement.


    Even Ye Yuan was also greatly stirred. He did not expect that the Mountain Challenger List actually came out at this critical juncture.


    The publication of the Mountain Challenger List did not have too many rules.


    As for who published it, nobody knew either.


    But the majority speculated that the Mountain Challenger List was published by the Divine Dragon Envoy.


    It was just that this version remained to be confirmed.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was very mysterious. There were not many who had seen his true face before.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a series of exclamations erupted in the crowd.


    ��How is this possible? Did the Mountain Challenger List make a mistake?��


    ��Ye Yuan and Long Yi hadn��t even fought before. What right does he have to rank first place?��


    ��Unfair! This isn��t fair! We strongly request Ye Yuan and Long Yi to fight!��


    �� ��


    The crowd instantly exploded.


    This was the Dragon Abyss Tribe��s territory. The vast majority of the people were all Long Yi��s worshipers.


    Currently, the person that they worshiped was actually judged to have lost before even fighting. It made them extremely displeased.


    Some people were already questioning the authority of the Mountain Challenger List.


    Ye Yuan and Feng Qingxuan exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in the other party��s eyes.


    He became first on the Mountain Challenger List?


    Ye Yuan spent some heavenly crystals and got a copy of the Mountain Challenger List too.


    The moment he looked, sure enough, his own name was ranked in the first place!


    Meanwhile, Long Yi��s name was ranked second place.


    Of course, this was just the position of the name being listed out. There was not even a sequence number in front of their names.


    Only all the way until the 11th name was there a sequence number.


    First place, Dragon Abyss Tribe, Long Lei!


    Ye Yuan knew this person. He was originally number nine on the Mountain Challenger List.


    Now, he was actually squeezed to the 11th position!


    Ye Yuan knew that the people without a ranking on the Mountain Challenger List were people who were taken fancy upon by the Divine Dragon Envoy and preparing to be brought into the Heavenly Dragon Island!


    This was also to say that his hard work of more than two years finally brought him the result that he desired.


    ��I didn��t expect that the Mountain Challenger List actually directly ranked me as first place,�� Ye Yuan also said in surprise.


    ��It��s not surprising. The Mountain Challenger List is a comprehensive ranking. It doesn��t completely look at battle results. You��re ranked first. It naturally shows that your strength and potential are stronger than everyone,�� Feng Qingxuan said.


    ��So that��s how it is!��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense too. On this Mountain Challenger List, among the top 30, only he was middle Emperor Cloud Heaven.


    Furthermore, he had already broken through to heaven qian grade bloodline. Coupled with spatial rule, his strength was formidable.


    Ranking in the first place was also not incomprehensible.


    He was very confident that as long as he broke through another minor realm and reached upper Emperor Cloud Heaven, sweeping through this list would not be anything strange too.


    All around were indignant people. Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care about them and quietly left.


    Suddenly, an old man blocked his path.


    Ye Yuan��s expression turned somber. This was a bloodline warrior, but his strength was extremely strong!


    ��You��re Ye Yuan?�� The old man asked, looking like he was talking down.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��It��s precisely me. May I ask who Senior is?��


    The old man said lightly, ��I��m Lord Divine Dragon Envoy��s servant. I��m here to give you the Divine Dragon Token!��


    As he said, the old man threw Ye Yuan a token and said, ��Half a month later, take the Divine Dragon Token and go to the East Sea��s shore! There will be a flying boat there. The few of you will board the boat by relying on the Divine Dragon Token. At that time, there will naturally be someone to guide you all to enter Heavenly Dragon Island.��


    Ye Yuan received the token and said with a bow, ��Many thanks, Senior!��


    The old man nodded slightly, seemingly still considered satisfied with Ye Yuan��s attitude.


    However, he said to Feng Qingxuan, ��If Miss Qingxuan is interested, you can come along with him. Heavenly Dragon Island welcomes the young patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan.��


    Feng Qingxuan was overjoyed when she heard that and said, ��Thank you very much, Senior! Feng Qingxuan will definitely go.��


    The old man nodded his head and turned around. He then left.


    Once the old man left, Feng Qingxuan said excitedly, ��Brat, even the Heavenly Dragon Island welcomes me. You can��t shake me off! Hehe!��


    However, Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed together, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Don��t you feel that something is not quite right?��

 Chapter 2986 - Rectification of Name!

    Half a month later, at the East Sea��s shore.


    When Ye Yuan hurried over, the others had already arrived.


    When Scarletplume saw Ye Yuan, he said rather warmly, ��Brother Ye, you��re finally here!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Congratulations, Brother Scarletplume. You are ranked third on the Mountain Challenger List.��


    Scarletplume smiled and said, ��That��s all in the past! Once we enter Heavenly Dragon Island, everything will have to start over from the top.��


    Clearly, Scarletplume had a great mentality.


    It was also precisely this kind of powerful mentality that let him rise rapidly.


    Ye Yuan swept with his peripherals and discovered that the surrounding environment was somewhat disorderly.


    Furthermore, Scarletplume��s aura was somewhat chaotic. His body had some injuries too. He immediately understood something.


    Scarletplume noticed Ye Yuan��s gaze and said with a smile, ��Wu Fa refused to accept that I��m ranked third, so he challenged me.��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Not far away, a young man��s face had a somewhat awkward expression.


    No need to say anything; Scarletplume won.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Impressive, Brother Scarletplume!��


    Scarletplume smiled bitterly and said, ��But I challenged Long Yi and lost! This guy is too strong, be careful.��


    Ye Yuan was taken aback, immediately understanding something.


    At this time, Long Yi was currently looking at him with a provoking gaze. His goal was self-explanatory.


    ��Ye Yuan! If you��re a man, accept my challenge! You got conferred without fighting. I, Long Yi, refuse to accept it as final!�� Long Yi said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Is this number one that important?��


    Long Yi said, ��Of course, it��s important! No matter where I, Long Yi, am, I��ll only be number one!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said coolly, ��Sorry, I��m not interested.��


    These guys, each and every one still did not know what was going to happen. They were actually still in the mood to seek to prevail over others here.


    So what if you got first place?


    Did you really think that you all could enter Heavenly Dragon Island?


    It was just that Ye Yuan did not say these words out.


    However, apart from Scarletplume, the others clearly did not have the intention of letting him go.


    ��Ye Yuan, it turns out that you��re merely someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong! Coward!��


    ��You challenged us, but now that you ran into the strongest Long Yi, you��re scared? If I were you, I wouldn��t have the face to enter Heavenly Dragon Island at all!��


    ��Don��t even have the courage to rectify your name. What qualifications do you have to enter Heavenly Dragon Island?��


    ��Heavenly Dragon Island only accepts the strong. A good-for-nothing like you isn��t fit to enter at all!��


    �� ��


    These people were all Ye Yuan��s defeated foes.


    They were brimming with vigor and vitality and did not have Scarletplume��s mentality.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not answer the challenge, they instinctively thought that Ye Yuan was scared.


    Furthermore, Long Yi��s might was indeed entrenched in people��s hearts.


    Being able to defeat the current Scarletplume, there was already no need for explanations.


    The current Scarletplume, his strength was significantly greater than when he fought with Ye Yuan back then!


    ��Humph! Whether to compete or not isn��t up to you!�� Long Yi snorted coldly, and the aura of his body suddenly erupted, pouncing over toward Ye Yuan.


    This place was no longer whatever mountain challenging.


    A word of disagreement and weapons were drawn.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    In an instant, the two people clashed together, being locked in a struggle.


    On the surface of the sea, huge waves were set off from the fighting, space shattering.


    These two people��s strengths were both formidable to the extreme.


    Among Emperor Cloud Heavens, no one was stronger than the two of them.


    ��So strong! It turns out that this guy is so strong!��


    ��How is that possible? He actually fought to a draw with Long Yi!��


    ��Turns out that when he was fighting with us, he didn��t use his full strength at all!��


    �� ��


    Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely shocked.


    Ye Yuan��s strength greatly exceeded their imagination.


    In reality, in the mountain challenging battles, Ye Yuan only fought very arduously when fighting with Scarletplume.


    In that battle, he himself also benefited a great deal.


    The opponents ever since then, could not make him muster up interest at all.


    It resulted in these people having a misconception that Ye Yuan was not very strong and was not worthy of being number one at all.


    But now, the strength that Ye Yuan displayed made them feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    It was completely not on the same level.


    In the crowd, Scarletplume was also very shocked and muttered, ��Not seeing for two years, Ye Yuan is already powerful to this extent? I thought that my improvement was fast enough. I didn��t expect that he actually already shook me off far behind!��


    Without comparison, there would not be any harm.


    What Scarletplume took pride in was his comprehension ability.


    Comprehending in battles, becoming stronger in fights!


    His fight with Ye Yuan might have been by chance.


    But, two years later, Ye Yuan��s improvement far exceeded his imagination.


    He finally understood that there was not the slightest fluke in Ye Yuan��s winning him!


    ��Ye Yuan has already comprehended the second form of his ultimate spatial technique! It just depends on whether or not Long Yi can force him to this step. But, looking at it now, it seems like he can��t!�� By the side, Feng Qingxuan said faintly.


    Scarletplume��s entire body trembled, full of disbelief.


    Back then, he lost to the first form, Wave Washing Sand.


    It had just been two years, and Ye Yuan had already comprehended the second form?


    Ye Yuan displaying Spatial Eight Styles opened another door for Scarletplume.


    Two years had passed, and he was still digesting the application of Spatial Eight Styles.


    Spatial Eight Styles was too vast and complicated.


    But, Ye Yuan actually already walked even further on his own path?


    This �� was really a merciless crushing!


    ��Spatial first form, Wave Washing Sand!�� Above the void, Ye Yuan bellowed.


    Long Yi was slammed into the sea like a cannonball.


    This battle ended!


    The remaining eight people were all rendered speechless.


    At this point, Ye Yuan, this number one, could be considered to be duly deserved.


    ��Coward? Good-for-nothing? No qualification to enter Heavenly Dragon Island? Huhu, if even Ye Yuan doesn��t have the qualifications, then what do you all count as? A bunch of trash, you��re not Ye Yuan��s match, and you still hope for others to defeat him? Is this the dragon race��s geniuses? What a joke!�� Feng Qingxuan ridiculed without holding back in the slightest.


    The group of geniuses wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Being looked down upon by people was not scary, but being despised by a woman was frightening.


    Of course, being despised by a beautiful woman was even scarier.


    At this time, a streak of light approached from afar, resolving everyone��s awkwardness.


    The flying boat came.


    Someone came down from the flying boat. It was precisely the old man who gave the token.


    ��All come on up. Remember to show your token; otherwise, you��ll be obliterated!�� The old man said lightly.


    The party boarded the flying boat, seemingly already forgotten about the conflict previously, appearing somewhat excited.


    Heavenly Dragon Island was the place that all of East Billow Region��s dragon race descendants yearned for.


    They challenged mountains everywhere in order to enter Heavenly Dragon Island.


    How many lifeforms did the East Billow Region have? But there were only merely ten of them who were able to enter Heavenly Dragon Island!


    This was glory!


    ��Senior, after entering Heavenly Dragon Island, do we need to take note of anything?�� Someone asked flusteredly.


    The old man said coolly, ��After getting on the island, there will naturally be someone who��ll inform you guys!��


    ��Senior ����


    Everyone was trying to get a word in, attempting to inquire about the situation on the island.


    After all, it was a new place. They knew absolutely nothing.


    However, the old man had a nonchalant appearance, answering very perfunctorily.


    Ye Yuan was very calm. It was as if he was an outsider and had nothing to do with this.


    Several days later, a large island appeared before everyone��s eyes.


    ��Senior, I heard that Heavenly Dragon Island has chaos heavenly dragons taking in and spitting out heaven and earth spiritual energy. There��s immortal mist lingering on the island all year round. Is this place Heavenly Dragon Island?�� Ye Yuan suddenly asked.

 Chapter 2987 - Prisoners!

    The moment everyone heard, they thought the same too.


    This place was too different from the place that they yearned for.


    The old man gave Ye Yuan a glance, standing with his hands behind his back as he said indifferently, ��What the world knows has mostly been rumors snowballing. You believe it too!��


    Ye Yuan continued, ��I heard that Heavenly Dragon Island formed its independent space. This place doesn��t seem to be so.��


    The old man frowned and said unhappily, ��Kid, do you think that by getting on the Mountain Challenger List, you��re very impressive? After getting to Heavenly Dragon Island, all be more obedient!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I even heard that Heavenly Dragon Island has a lot of true dragons. True dragons can be seen swimming everywhere in the sky. But, there��s nothing to see here.��


    The old man was shocked in his heart. Could it be that this kid had been to the Heavenly Dragon Island before?


    What Ye Yuan described was exactly the same as Heavenly Dragon Island.


    However, he would not show it on his face and said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, are you questioning the Divine Dragon Envoy��s servant? The Divine Dragon Token that was given to you all wouldn��t be fake, right?��


    Originally, hearing Ye Yuan��s words, everyone��s hearts were somewhat nervous.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    But this sentence calmed them down.


    Ye Yuan smiled and stopped talking.


    The old man let out a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this kid was really too astute. He almost spilled the beans.


    He was only Emperor Vast Heaven Realm. If these few little fellows revolted, the matter that Master entrusted would probably be screwed up.


    When the flying boat landed on the island, the old man��s heart finally settled down.


    More than ten people came over to welcome them. They were all Emperor Vast Heaven Realm mighty experts.


    The person at the front was even a Great Emperor at Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm!


    ��These are all this batch��s Mountain Challenger List��s geniuses?�� The Great Emperor��s eyes swept across everyone��s faces.


    The old man gave a bow and said, ��Yes, Master! The top ten on the Mountain Challenger List are all here.��


    Ye Yuan was startled in his heart. This Great Emperor was the Divine Dragon Envoy!


    What Ye Yuan was surprised by was that this Divine Dragon Envoy actually did not have the aura of the blood race on his body!


    Why did he see through that old man at a glance? It was because he had the blood race��s aura on his body!


    Ye Yuan��s origin of chaos blood was very sensitive to the aura of the blood race.


    This old man was not a blood slave, but the blood in his body had been remoulded before.


    At that time, Ye Yuan had already detected that something was wrong.


    Actually, after arriving at Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, Ye Yuan had always been very curious.


    The 33 Heavens�� other planes were all suffering the torment of the blood race. But, this place seemed to be calm and tranquil.


    All the way until Ye Yuan encountered the Divine Dragon Envoy��s servant.


    He finally confirmed that the blood race still extended their fiendish claws toward Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven.


    It was just that they did not invade with great fanfare. Instead, they made arrangements in secret.


    ��Who��s Ye Yuan?�� Divine Dragon Envoy suddenly asked.


    The old servant pointed at Ye Yuan and said, ��It��s him!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy sized Ye Yuan up and down. Suddenly, he flicked his sleeves grandly. It was only to see a gust of hurricane howl past, closing in on Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s ��face turned pale with fright,�� his bloodline pressure erupting wildly, directly bringing forth his strongest attack.


    Second form of space, Dragon��s Roar!


    However, this hurricane was like a metal plate. It was as if he collided right onto the metal plate.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan was directly bounced flying.


    Ye Yuan was greatly enraged and rushed in front of the Divine Dragon Envoy, roaring angrily, ��Lord Divine Dragon Envoy, what��s the meaning of this?��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, what pure bloodline! I really didn��t expect that your human race��s fleshly body actually has such a pure dragon race bloodline. Indeed well-deserving of being number one on the Mountain Challenger List! Yang Yi, the quality of this batch of kids is pretty good. There will be rewards!��


    The old man smiled broadly and said, ��It��s all Master who was skillful in guidance. Yang Yi doesn��t dare to claim credit.��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy��s gaze looked toward Feng Qingxuan and said with a smile, ��Didn��t expect that this time, even the Fire Phoenix Clan��s dethroned young patriarch is brought here too. Not bad! Really not bad!��


    With this, everyone��s expressions changed.


    They suddenly realized that the situation was not quite right.


    The eyes that this Divine Dragon Envoy looked at him with did not seem to be appreciating whatever young geniuses. It looked like he was looking at a prey instead.


    Previously, when Ye Yuan questioned the old servant, they still did not take it seriously. Now, they discovered that this ��Heavenly Dragon Island�� really had something very wrong with it!


    ��Lord Divine Dragon Envoy, what��s the meaning of this?�� Long Yi questioned.


    Divine Dragon Envoy smiled and said, ��There��s no meaning. It��s just that seeing each and every one of you have powerful bloodlines, this seat is very gratified!��


    Long Yi��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��re not the Divine Dragon Envoy! What objective did you hoodwink us here for?��


    Divine Dragon Envoy smiled lightly and said, ��This seat being the Divine Dragon Envoy is without a doubt! Otherwise, do you think that the Divine Dragon Tokens fell down from the sky? Only the Heavenly Dragon Island can make this thing. It��s not what anyone can imitate! Alright, don��t think too much. Because very soon, you all won��t need to think anymore. After getting on the island, you all will understand.��


    Long Yi��s expression changed drastically, his figure immediately flashing, about to escape.


    Divine Dragon Envoy seemed to have long gotten used to this scene, lightly smacking a palm out.


    Bang!


    Long Yi��s back was hit by the palm, vomiting out blood with a cough, and he no longer had the strength to run away.


    Everyone who was originally still thinking of escaping immediately ceased all actions.


    This Divine Dragon Envoy was an origin realm mighty expert. They could not escape at all.


    ��Huhu, be more obedient. Arriving here, you can forget about leaving. Remember, you all are making a contribution to the dragon race. You should feel honored!�� Divine Dragon Envoy said with a faint smile.


    At the same time, he gave a look to the people around him. There was immediately someone who stepped out of the ranks, chaining Long Yi up.


    While the others swarmed out, chaining handcuffs and shackles on the rest.


    These handcuffs and leg shackles were specially made. After they wore them, they only felt that their bloodline power was completely locked, unable to unleash at all.


    Hence, the 11 geniuses became prisoners.


    Feng Qingxuan was shocked in her heart. Everything was as Ye Yuan expected!


    Previously, she did not believe it at all, thinking that Ye Yuan was kicking up a big fuss over nothing.


    It was because the Divine Dragon Token was not fake.


    But now, everything was practically the same as Ye Yuan said.


    Feng Qingxuan had a hundred thousand whys in her heart!


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was clearly real. But why would he lay his hands on his clansmen?


    This fake Heavenly Dragon Island was right under the eyelids of the Heavenly Dragon Island. There was actually nobody who cared?


    What were they capturing a few geniuses for?


    So on and so forth!


    Feng Qingxuan could not figure it out. Everything could not be explained.


    But very clearly, everything was as Ye Yuan predicted.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy detained the group of geniuses and entered a water dungeon.


    In the water dungeon, Long Yi and the rest were shocked to the extreme.


    It was because they saw many familiar faces!


    ��I-Isn��t that Lord Long Qingyi? He was the number one on the last season��s Mountain Challenger List. Why would he be here?��


    ��Also him! East Billow Region��s legend, Lord Tie Qin! He swept across East Billow Region back then and was the idol of all the mountain challengers! He��s actually being trapped here too!��


    ��That��s Lord Dong Yu. He was our Dragon Soar Tribe��s number one genius! I didn��t expect that he actually landed here too! J-Just what on earth is this place?��


    �� ��


    Seeing one familiar figure after another destroyed their willpower.


    Some geniuses, a thousand years had already passed from now!


    They were still being trapped here!


    What did this indicate?


    It showed that they would also be spending the remainder of their lives in this place!

 Chapter 2988 - Tragic Beyond Compare!

    The water dungeon was huge with countless prisons. It was sufficient to accommodate tens of thousands of people. It was like an underground city.


    No sun could be seen all year round in this place. It was as if it was hell on earth.


    Ye Yuan saw that there were some who were already tormented until they did not look human anymore.


    There were not only true spirits here. There were many humans too.


    It was just that those humans were all in great agony, struggling and rolling around in the water dungeon.


    ��Argh! I beg you all, kill me!��


    ��You bunch of brutes, even if I become a ghost, I won��t let you all off too!��


    ��It hurts! It��s hurting me to death! I �� I��m going to explode!��


    Everyone looked over, only to see a human powerhouse swell up into a ball.


    Then, with a bang, he exploded into a cloud of minced meat, very bloody.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The few people��s complexions were deathly pale. Although they had fought countless battles, they had never seen this kind of extremely tragic scene before.


    People were less than animals in this place!


    ��Where �� Where on earth is this place? Why does the Divine Dragon Envoy do this kind of cruel thing?�� Long Yi could not resist asking.


    ��Huhu, this is for our dragon race��s future! If we can grasp the secret of bloodline evolution, then everyone will be able to become Hegemons! Our dragon race will be able to become the overlord of myriad worlds! Even thinking about it makes people excited! This Blood Dragon Island was constructed for this. Your bloodlines shall also contribute a portion of strength for the dragon race��s future!�� The Divine Dragon Envoy��s eyes were full of fanaticism.


    ��E-Everyone becoming Hegemon?�� Long Yi��s entire body trembled as he said.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy smiled and said, ��That��s right! This Blood Dragon Island has already been built for more than 100 thousand years! In the past 100 thousand years, we��ve made tremendous progress! The day where everyone can become Hegemon isn��t far off!��


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan pointed at a metal jail and said, ��Are you talking about him?��


    Inside the metal jail, a half-human half-beast fellow was currently staring fixedly at the few people who came in with scarlet-red eyes, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling.


    One could tell from his appearance that this should have originally been a human. But, he grew a pair of weird wings on his body, his ears were also sharpened to a point, his mouth growing out savage tusks, his entire person looking incomparably strange and ugly.


    His four limbs were on the ground. Actually, it could not be counted as four limbs anymore because his four limbs were all animal legs.


    However, the first feeling that he gave Ye Yuan was not ferociousness but wretchedness!


    He had the origin of blood and could feel that this person had mixed at least more than ten types of bloodline power in his body.


    And these dozen over kinds of bloodline powers could not be superimposed perfectly. They would even have conflicts with each other.


    He could feel how much pain this person had to endure.


    Of course, this person already completely did not have his own consciousness. He was filled with killing intent throughout his body.


    This half-human half-beast fellow actually already reached the Hegemon Realm!


    Around him, those ferocious ��beasts�� did not even dare to breathe loudly, instinctively fearing him.


    Clearly, this guy was very dangerous.


    But the killing intent in Ye Yuan��s heart started surging uncontrollably.


    This bunch of guys simply had no bottom line when doing things!


    The Divine Dragon Envoy seemed to be very proud of himself as he said, ��That��s right! This guy is called Zhao Yue. He was originally just a good-for-nothing. After he cultivated to Emperor Vast Heaven, he was unable to make any more advancements! It was us who bestowed upon him eternal life, possessing sublime strength!��


    ��Roar!��


    A terrifying to the extreme aura came over. Everyone saw Zhao Yue pouncing over here.


    Even if these were all geniuses, even if they clearly knew that the likelihood of Zhao Yue breaking out of the locked cage was not high, they were still frightened until they took several steps back.


    ��Awoo!��


    The water prison surged with electricity. Zhao Yue screamed miserably and was directly electrocuted back.


    This water prison was clearly specially constructed. It could even withstand the Hegemon Realm Zhao Yue.


    Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart. Then how strong was the person who fixed up the cage?


    Could it be that the Heavenly Dragon Island��s upper echelons had something to do with this too?


    Highly probable!


    The reason why he went deep into the tiger��s den was to investigate this matter.


    ��Senior, I guess that the matter here likely has something to do with how you almost died back then, right?�� Ye Yuan said to Mi Tian.


    Mi Tian was silent for a long time and said with a sigh, ��I don��t know either, but �� it��s probably related! It looks like the blood race had already started making plans at that time!��


    Ye Yuan sneered and said, ��To the blood race, you all, these chaos true spirits, are the real treasures! Whether or not the Chaos Bloodstone can open the Door of Eternal Life and reach the Great Beyond, perhaps the key lies with you all! However, you all are too strong. He can only do it in secret! This scheme has lasted for several hundred thousand years. What extravagant preparations!��


    Chaos true spirits could be said to be the peak of bloodlines!


    Their bloodline was bestowed by Heavenly Dao.


    Therefore, if the Chaos Bloodstone wanted to reach the Great Beyond, it would naturally be of great reference value to him.


    If he was the Chaos Bloodstone, he would not let them off too.


    But chaos true spirits were too powerful!


    Innate chaos true spirits were existences on the same level as the Chaos Bloodstone!


    Regarding these powerhouses that were born from heaven and earth, each of them was powerful to the extreme.


    Just like Mi Tian, back then, he was already a top Hegemon that roamed the heavens unobstructed, sweeping across the soul clan with his strength alone!


    This kind of existence, even if it was the Chaos Bloodstone, the Chaos Bloodstone would be very wary too.


    Let alone that Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s powerhouses were not just Mi Tian alone.


    Mi Tian fell silent again. Ye Yuan could feel the struggle in his heart currently and stopped speaking.


    Actually, Ye Yuan already faintly had some guesses. It was just that Mi Tian did not say anything. So he could not ask too much as well.


    ��Huhu, he��s currently like a wild beast without his own will at all. Most likely, you all can��t control him at all. That��s why you��d lock him in the cage, right? If you let him out, the first one that he��ll kill will probably be you!�� Ye Yuan looked at the Divine Dragon Envoy and said with a cold smile.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was indifferent and said with a smile, ��So what? We��ve already found a way to control him. He��ll be very obedient! The few of you are all very talented. Perhaps in the future, you all will be able to step into the legendary chaos grade bloodline!��


    The eyes that the Divine Dragon Envoy looked at the few people with made everyone shudder without feeling cold.


    Nobody wanted to become like Zhao Yue!


    Possessing the strength of Hegemon Realm but becoming a wild beast that was at other people��s beck and call, what was the point?


    Ye Yuan looked at the Divine Dragon Envoy, not concealing his killing intent in the least bit.


    Divine Dragon Envoy smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan, I feel very optimistic about you! Judging from our past experiments, the human race��s physical body has the highest compatibility! Very soon, you won��t be using this sort of eyes to look at me. You��ll be thanking this seat!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Soon, you��ll be thanking me too!��


    Divine Dragon Envoy laughed loudly and said, ��Kid, you��ve got personality. I like it! I hope that in the future, you��ll become stronger than him! Take them away!��


    The group was taken away again.


    When Ye Yuan walked past Zhao Yue��s water prison and saw that miserable appearance, the killing intent in his chest sprang up again.


    Suddenly, his gaze and Zhao Yue��s gaze met, and he could not help trembling all over.


    He saw a trace of anguish from that ferocious to the extreme gaze.


    A trace of seeking deliverance from the pain.


    This Zhao Yue actually still had a last strand of self-consciousness remaining?

 Chapter 2989 - Contingency Plan!

    ��Senior Long Ran, there��s no need for me to say anything more, right?��


    In a secret cave of the Dragon Abyss Tribe, Ye Yuan put away the light screen in front of him and said calmly.


    This Ye Yuan was his human soul clone, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique.


    He naturally would not venture into this fake Heavenly Dragon Island without due consideration. Otherwise, it would be sending himself to death.


    Hence, he found this hidden cave under Mi Tian��s guidance. It was Dragon Abyss Tribe��s progenitor Long Ran��s cave abode. He was a Hegemon Realm powerhouse.


    In order to convince Long Ran, Mi Tian directly revealed his identity.


    But if Ye Yuan said that the Heavenly Dragon Island was actually laying their hands on their own people, Long Ran would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.


    After all, the Heavenly Dragon Island was the dragon race��s holy land.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan split his origin divinity into two, leaving his human soul clone here.


    Then he used a soul race secret technique to share what the dragon race soul clone saw and heard, displaying his experience on the light screen.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Shock was written all over Long Ran��s face, his heart in wrenching pain and bitter hatred.


    Long Yi did not recognize the people there, but Long Ran knew many of them in the water prison!


    During these 100 thousand years, those geniuses who entered Heavenly Dragon Island actually all entered the Blood Dragon island!


    Some were no longer around.


    Some became like disembodied ghosts.


    ��Why? Why! WHY! Why would Heavenly Dragon Island lay their hands on their own clansmen?�� Long Ran practically roared out.


    He was too disappointed!


    Too shocked!


    Heavenly Dragon Island had deceived them for 100 thousand years!


    These 100 thousand years, how many geniuses had the East Billow Region produced?


    These geniuses actually all died at the hands of their own people!


    Seeing the miserable appearances of those younger generation disciples, Long Ran felt heartache to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan clearly saw tears at the corners of his eyes.


    In reality, the killing intent in Ye Yuan��s chest could no longer be contained too.


    To be able to make a Hegemon Realm who had lived for several hundred thousand years shed tears, it could be seen how tragic Blood Dragon Island��s situation was!


    War and death were very tragic.


    But, using some fresh lives to do human experimentation, this kind of cruelty simply could not be described.


    Animals were better!


    ��Because of the blood race! They exploited Heavenly Dragon Island��s ambition!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Long Ran��s pupils constricted, his gaze gradually turning cold as he said, ��Come!��


    Three days later, several hundred powerhouses from more than ten major tribes set off for Blood Dragon Island!


    �� ��


    ��Lord Bloodless!�� The Divine Dragon Envoy said respectfully to the blood race powerhouse in front of him.


    When Ye Yuan saw this blood race powerhouse, his pupils could not help constricting.


    Hegemon Realm!


    There was actually a Hegemon Realm on this Blood Dragon Island!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan could feel that this Hegemon Realm was very strong.


    He originally thought that the Divine Dragon Envoy was responsible for Blood Dragon Island.


    Did not expect that there was actually such a powerhouse.


    Could Long Ran be his match?


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was not sure whether or not there would be other Hegemon Realms on this island.


    This was somewhat troublesome!


    But at this time, the arrow was already notched on the bow and had no choice but to release.


    Bloodless swept a glance over everyone, his gaze finally stopping on Ye Yuan, and he said in pleasant surprise, ��This batch is pretty good! Especially this kid; having a human physical body but his bloodline power is extremely strong! A fine sapling! Perhaps, our blood bestowal can obtain great success this time!��


    Divine Dragon Envoy said in pleasant surprise, ��Your Excellency, could it be ����


    Bloodless nodded with a smile and said, ��Heaven rewards the faithful. The new Conversion Blood Crystals are finally out. With these, we��ll be able to control those berserk guys.��


    Divine Dragon Envoy was agitated until he was almost weeping and said, ��Lord Bloodless has toiled hard and rendered great merits. The dragon race is endlessly grateful!��


    Bloodless smiled and said, ��We��re an organic whole, bound together for good or ill. What��s the talk about toiling hard and rendering great merits? We need to wait for another two days, and the Conversion Blood Crystals will be able to come out. Lock them up first and fuse two days later!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy waved his hand, commanding people to take Ye Yuan and the others away, and to lock them in the water prison.


    There were handcuffs on their hands, shackles on their legs, and the water prison even had powerful restrictions.


    This bunch of people was practically waiting for death.


    Feng Qingxuan said in despair, ��Ye Yuan, you��ve doomed me this time! If this young lady dies here, I won��t let you off even if I become a ghost!��


    Crack!


    Her voice had yet to fade when Ye Yuan��s handcuffs fell right off.


    Everyone stared wide-eyed and tongue-tied.


    ��This �� isn��t your bloodline sealed ���� Long Yi looked at Ye Yuan and said with a look of shock.


    Ye Yuan��s mouth curled, and he said, ��My bloodline can��t be sealed.��


    Got to be kidding. He had the origin of blood. It was the source of all bloodlines.


    Seal his bloodline?


    It did not exist!


    Feng Qingxuan said excitedly, ��Hurry! Quickly untie me!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Not yet!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s face turned black, and she said in a solemn voice, ��Why?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��m going to scout out this underground city. Bringing you all along is too cumbersome.��


    Feng Qingxuan and Long Yi were speechless.


    Ye Yuan said, ��All of you hold your horses. In less than three days, someone will come and save us.��


    Long Yi said, ��But powerhouses are plentiful like clouds here. There are even Hegemon Realm powerhouses! Even if people come, they can��t save us too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then if your ancestor comes out of retirement?��


    Long Yi��s entire body trembled, and he said, ��You��re saying �� Ancestor Long Ran? This �� How is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��His elderly self has already moved out and is currently calling the various major tribes to set off for Blood Dragon Island! At that time, blood will flow into rivers!��


    Feng Qingxuan said in shock, ��It turns out that those few days, you went to meet the Dragon Abyss Tribe��s progenitor? You, this fellow, you hid from me so bitterly!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��This kind of thing, the less you know, the better. If you reveal any flaws, not only will it waste all the previous efforts, you��ll even doom all of us!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s face turned black. This guy really did not show mercy when knocking someone down a notch!


    However, she also knew that what Ye Yuan said was right.


    But what Feng Qingxuan was surprised by was that Ye Yuan acted too well along the way!


    All of his expressions were just right.


    He got angry when he should get angry, panicked when he should panic, and even when he should posture, he postured very adequately.


    Feng Qingxuan did not expect that this guy still had this side!


    Meanwhile, Long Yi and the others were shocked to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan��s meaning was that he had long anticipated everything, and he made complete arrangements!


    How did he discover it?


    The entire East Billow Region was kept in the dark!


    How could a measly little Ye Yuan actually detect it?


    ��Brother Ye, since you��ve already seen through everything, why do you still let yourself get caught in danger?�� Scarletplume said in confusion.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes turned cold, and he said, ��Originally, I thought that the Divine Dragon Envoy was being controlled by the blood race. So I wanted to come and probe. But then I didn��t expect that the truth is actually like this! The blood race and Heavenly Dragon Island joined hands to inflict great suffering on the living! If I didn��t sneak in, I also wouldn��t have seen such a ghastly sight!��


    The moment these words came out, the few geniuses revealed indignant expressions.


    Indeed, when they saw each and every one of those seniors being turned into things that were less than animals, the killing intent in their hearts could not be contained too.


    ��But, even if these can��t seal your bloodline, this water prison is being sealed by powerful restrictions. How will you get out?�� Feng Qingxuan asked.


    Ye Yuan got up and said coolly, ��You all stay here first. Make sure not to reveal anything. I��ll be right back!��


    Finished saying, his figure moved, passing right through the door!

 Chapter 2990 - Water Prison Riot!

    Going out of the water prison and fading into the void, Ye Yuan avoided some restriction array formations carefully, heading towards the depths of the water prison.


    In less than half a day, Ye Yuan had gotten a rough idea of the water prison.


    However, Ye Yuan did not dare to go where it was too deep.


    There were a large group of powerful martial artists there and also many blood race auras.


    Clearly, this Blood Dragon Island had experts plentiful like clouds.


    At the end of the water prison, there was one secret room after another, with constant streams of people.


    Many people were brought into the secret room, and then they emitted extremely miserable sounds.


    Clearly, they were experimenting on those people.


    Killing intent surged in Ye Yuan��s heart once more.


    However, he still forcefully pushed it down.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    A little impatience would spoil great plans.


    Ye Yuan wanted to know about the intel from the depths of the water prison, so he controlled his temper and secretly listened to the intel.


    After half a day passed, Ye Yuan discovered that they had started to get busy.


    ��I didn��t expect that the first batch of Conversion Blood Crystals actually went unexpectedly smoothly. With this, there will be work to be done.��


    ��I heard that this batch of mountain challengers are all pretty good. There are a human heaven qian grade bloodline and a Fire Phoenix Clan��s heaven qian grade bloodline!��


    ��People upstairs said that the Conversion Blood Crystals this time will be fused with them. The few of you go to the secret room and prepare. Bring them over half a day later.��


    ��Yes!��


    �� ��


    In the dark, Ye Yuan��s heart was shocked from listening.


    They were going to make a move so quickly?


    Wouldn��t that mean that they could not wait for Senior Long Ran they all to arrive?


    This became troublesome!


    ��Damn it! Only half a day��s time. This is a big problem!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart burned with anxiety, rushing back without stopping.


    When he passed through the water prison, his figure stopped. Suddenly, his eyes turned intent, and he said, ��Since we can��t wait, then we��ll have to do it ourselves!��


    With a strategy in his heart, Ye Yuan returned to his cell like lightning.


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan return, they could not help perking up.


    ��All shut up! Listen to me!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    Everyone was shocked in their hearts and immediately shut up.


    Ye Yuan said, ��That whatever damn Conversion Blood Crystal has already succeeded. They will be laying their hands on us very soon. We can��t wait for Senior Long Ran to come anymore! Therefore, we can only do it ourselves!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone immediately fell into despair.


    Long Yi smiled bitterly and said, ��Do it ourselves? Just based on the few of us?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Of course it��s not the few of us! There are tens of thousands of powerhouses in this water prison! The weakest one is also True Sovereign Heaven Realm! If we let them all out, we might not be unable to fight!��


    Scarletplume said, ��But, what about Hegemon Realms? Furthermore, it seems like the majority of those detained in this water prison isn��t even Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm, right? This bit of strength, it isn��t enough to fill the crevices between their teeth at all!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze looked towards that solo cage in the distance.


    Everyone followed his eyes and could not help shuddering.


    Zhao Yue!


    Long Yi opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, ��A-Are you crazy? If we let him out, he��ll be the first to tear us all apart!��


    ��No way! Absolutely not! He��s a monster. He doesn��t have intelligence at all. He only knows to kill!��


    ��Ye Yuan, stop joking! That monster has Hegemon Realm strength. Once he comes out, the entire water prison will be slaughtered by him!��


    �� ��


    These people had an instinctive fear of Zhao Yue.


    This kind of fear was like a human encountering a wild beast.


    It would not reason with you and also would not listen to you. The only emotion that it had was killing.


    Letting such a monster out, wasn��t that seeking death?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Then, do you all have a better solution? Saying it like if you don��t let him out, you all won��t die.��


    Everyone could not help choking.


    ��Alright, I��ll release the seal on you all first, then go and save the others together. With the water dungeon��s captives all rioting, they will turn this damn place upside down! Even if we die under Zhao Yue��s hands, with his destructive power, this Blood Dragon Island can forget about having anything left behind too!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense either, releasing everyone��s handcuffs and shackles very quickly.


    �� ��


    In an underground palace in the depths of the water prison.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy weighed the crystals in his hand, extremely delighted.


    ��Haha, with this, the time for our dragon race to unify the heavens has arrived! Lord Bloodless, for so many years, thank you for your hard work!��


    Bloodless smiled and said, ��You��re doing it again, no? These are all this seat��s duties. I only hope that when the dragon race unifies the heavens in the future, Lord Mi Zhen doesn��t forget our blood race.��


    Divine Dragon Envoy smiled and said, ��Lord Bloodless is joking. Unifying the heavens, that��s also our two races joining hands!��


    The two people exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.


    Bloodless sneered in his heart.


    A bunch of fools!


    In the past 100 thousand years, he had already pretty much figured out the dragon race��s bloodline.


    The mother stone progressed very quickly these few years and was almost about to be born!


    Chaos bloodline was indeed powerful!


    It was just a shame that he could not acquire genuine chaos grade bloodline. Otherwise, the mother stone would have long come into being already.


    However, it did not matter. After the mother stone came into being, he would personally come to take the chaos grade bloodline.


    Unify the heavens?


    What a joke!


    The one to unify the heavens is our blood race!


    Right at this time, a group of people ran into the great hall in a panic.


    A subordinate said, ��Lord Divine Dragon Envoy, things are bad! Things are bad! The water prison, the prisoners �� are rioting!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��What��s going on? Tell me in detail!��


    That subordinate said, ��That punk called Ye Yuan, the sealing handcuffs actually can��t lock him up. He has already opened up all of the water jails, the bloodline warriors in the water prisons and true spirit clan members are all rioting!��


    Bloodless said in surprise, ��Impossible! The sealing handcuffs were specially made by this seat. Unless their strength reached Hegemon Realm, it��s absolutely impossible to open it themselves!��


    That subordinate almost wanted to cry.


    Could he still lie about this sort of thing?


    Wanting to talk about this sealing handcuff, it was indeed formidable.


    In these 100 thousand years, not the slightest mistake had occurred before at all.


    But this time, a problem occurred!


    The Divine Dragon Envoy recovered his composure very quickly and said coolly, ��It��s merely a bunch of trash who had their blood essence drained. There��s no need to kick up a huge fuss! Lord Bloodless, rest for a while. I��ll be right back.��


    Bloodless nodded his head and did not say anything.


    Those imprisoned in the water prison were mostly younger generation geniuses. Most were Emperor Cloud Heaven experts, and a minority were Emperor Vast Heaven experts.


    There was also an extremely small group of bloodline warriors that were Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses.


    However, that was merely it.


    To an origin realm powerhouse like this, it was not worth mentioning at all.


    Moreover, Blood Dragon Island was heavily guarded. How could he possibly be the only expert?


    Bloodless, this Hegemon Realm, did not need to take action at all.


    Under the Divine Dragon Envoy��s word of command, Blood Dragon Island��s powerhouses charged over towards the water prison.


    Just as he said, they were merely a bunch of clay chickens and pottery dogs.


    With the Divine Dragon Envoy taking the lead, more than ten Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm bloodline warriors were not even his match.


    These bloodline warriors were all captured to fuse with Conversion Blood Crystals.


    Many people died. There was only one person that survived. It was Zhao Yue.


    When the Divine Dragon Envoy joined the battle, the rioting side started to lose ground very quickly.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan was currently standing in front of Zhao Yue��s cage, his expression flickering indeterminately.

 Chapter 2991 - Youre Not a Monster!

    This was a huge challenge to Ye Yuan too.


    He did not have the confidence to escape with his life from under Zhao Yue��s hands.


    Even so, he saw the tiniest hint of remnant struggle in Zhao Yue��s eyes.


    But he was a Hegemon Realm powerhouse after all!


    Not far away, Long Yi and the others were frightened until their legs were trembling, swallowing saliva non-stop.


    ��After I go in, you all immediately shut off the restrictions. If I die, you guys immediately run away. However far you can run, do so,�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    Although he knew that the likelihood of escaping was very low, it was better than sitting passively and awaiting destruction.


    Outside the water prison, there was a switch to control the restrictions. One could control it from the outside.


    This cage��s restrictions were too powerful. Ye Yuan was unable to pass through it too. It could only be controlled by Scarletplume.


    ��Ye Yuan, no way! Let��s just charge out! This is too dangerous!�� Scarletplume said.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Although the few of them were scared, they still felt incomparably moved in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan was using his own life to fight for their slim chance of survival!


    They could all feel that this Zhao Yue was very strong.


    After going in, once he was let out, his destructive power would definitely be very strong.


    But, with Ye Yuan going in alone, it was virtually certain death!


    It was not that Ye Yuan was being a hero who liked this sort of solemn melancholy of a brave warrior who would not be returning. But that this matter had to be done by him.


    Only he had a glimmer of hope.


    If the others went in, that was truly certain death with no hope of survival.


    Of course, he was also unreconciled to it in his heart!


    He was unwilling to die just like this.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy and Bloodless were here, committing crimes that were too numerous to be recorded.


    He was long already filled with killing intent in his heart.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��We can��t charge out. Open it!��


    Feng Qingxuan did not speak, looking at Ye Yuan from the back, her eyes somewhat misty.


    What kind of a man was this!


    Others did not know, but Feng Qingxuan had a feeling that as long as he charged out of the water prison, Ye Yuan had a high probability of escaping with his life.


    This guy��s methods were too many!


    But he did not escape!


    Instead, he chose the most dangerous way.


    In the next second, the restrictions opened, and Ye Yuan entered the cage like lightning.


    Scarletplume instinctively wanted to shut off the restrictions and flew out.


    Feng Qingxuan smacked him flying with a slap.


    ��Feng Qingxuan, what are you doing!�� Long Yi roared angrily.


    ��Either way, we can��t go out either, just die together! Ye Yuan dares to gamble with his life. You all are men too. Are you so cowardly?�� Feng Qingxuan said coolly.


    The few people all lowered their heads in shame.


    ��Roar!��


    The moment the restrictions opened, Zhao Yue��s roar made everyone start to tremble.


    Ye Yuan only felt a pressure that blotted out the skies and covered the earth, pressing over toward him.


    Every pore on Ye Yuan��s body was exploding, virtually going to die.


    The feeling of facing a Hegemon Realm head-on, it virtually made people crumble.


    This was also Ye Yuan��s first time facing such a terrifying existence head-on.


    He had seen before many Hegemon Realms, but someone like this, it was really his first time.


    At this moment, all actions were futile!


    Zhao Yue was too strong!


    This kind of might was that kind of primitive barbarity. It was as if he walked over from great antiquity.


    Swoosh!


    In virtually an instant, Zhao Yue pounced over toward Ye Yuan.


    Before even getting close, Ye Yuan was already shocked by Zhao Yue��s powerful aura until he received internal injuries.


    Zhao Yue raised his sharp claws. As long as this claw landed lightly, even if Ye Yuan had ten lives, they would also be lost here.


    Life was hanging by a thread!


    ��You are not a monster!�� Ye Yuan practically used all the strength in his body to roar these five words out.


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s body flew out like a cannonball, smashing heavily onto the jail door opposite.


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan��s innards were directly ruptured, spitting out a mouthful of bloody froth.


    But fortunately, he was still alive.


    Feng Qingxuan and the rest were frightened until their faces turned white.


    ��Ye Yuan, are you alright?�� Feng Qingxuan was about to run over.


    ��Don��t come over! I �� I won��t die!�� Ye Yuan struggled to his feet by himself.


    ��Roar!��


    Another roar, Zhao Yue already stepped out of the cage.


    The ferocious tiger had been unleashed!


    Zhao Yue��s gaze was locked firmly onto Ye Yuan.


    ��W-Was that the power of origin just now?�� Long Yi said in shock.


    Scarletplume nodded and said, ��There��s no mistake. That��s the origin of blood! Furthermore, it seems to be different from that origin in Hegemon Bloodless��s body! The origin of blood in Ye Yuan��s body seems to be purer and �� higher level!��


    Long Yi said in surprise, ��Emperor Cloud Heaven comprehended the power of origin �� T-This guy��s trump cards really emerge in endless streams!��


    Scarletplume also said in astonishment, ��Looking at him challenging mountains back then, he didn��t use his full strength at all! What he used, were all dragon race means! Brother Ye is really an unmatched monster!��


    The tiger��s body trembling, making a Hegemon Realm submit?


    It did not exist!


    Zhao Yue��s hesitation at the last moment was because of the origin of blood in Ye Yuan��s body!


    Of course, ��you are not a monster,�� these five words, had indeed struck the softest spot in the depths of Zhao Yue��s heart.


    His sanity was virtually non-existent, but he ultimately still retained the tiniest trace of humanity.


    What was the struggle, the anguish, in the depths of his heart for?


    It was because everyone viewed him as a monster!


    If he had already completely had his consciousness die out, Ye Yuan��s words naturally would not have an effect.


    But, as long as he still had a tiny, tiny trace, then these five words would be very crucial!


    And the release of blood origin made Zhao Yue��s body instinctively understand.


    In his body, those disorderly bloodlines that were mingling and clashing together were being controlled!


    Ye Yuan wanted to tell him: I can let you not suffer the pain of bloodline havoc anymore.


    This was giving him hope!


    Under the combination of the two factors, Zhao Yue stopped at the final juncture.


    However, he was ultimately just a ��wild animal��!


    Hence, Ye Yuan still nearly died.


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    The underground water prison was shaking until it was almost crumbling.


    Zhao Yue was in great pain currently!


    Ye Yuan dragged his heavily injured body and walked toward Zhao Yue.


    ��You are not a monster! You��re the same as me, a human!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared again. A tremendous force transmitted over, Ye Yuan was sent flying once more.


    The current Ye Yuan was incomparably miserable. However, he still insisted on getting to his feet and continued walking toward Zhao Yue.


    By the side, the hearts of Feng Qingxuan and the rest were practically leaping out of their throats.


    This was truly dancing on the edge of death!


    If Zhao Yue wanted to kill Ye Yuan, it would really just be a matter of batting an eyelid.


    ��You are not a monster! If even you yourself gave up, then you��ll really be hopeless!��


    ��Are you reconciled to it? Are you willing to let those people who turned you into this have their way?��


    ��Roar!��


    A typhoon swept over. Ye Yuan was directly swept up into the sky, smashing heavily onto the ceiling and falling onto the ground again.


    If it were anyone else, they would not even have the strength to get to their feet currently.


    But Ye Yuan did not give up.


    He got to his feet and walked toward Zhao Yue again.


    Each sentence from him came from the bottom of his heart.


    He saw Zhao Yue��s agony. He also saw the pain of countless people like Zhao Yue.


    Compared to those people, perhaps Zhao Yue was fortunate instead.


    At least he survived.


    ��You��ve already suffered pain that others can��t endure and survived. Could it be that you want to give up on yourself?��


    ��No matter what you become, as long as your heart doesn��t change, you��re a human!�� Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Yue, his eyes incomparably sincere.


    Feng Qingxuan, Long Yi, and the rest were extremely moved too.


    It was because they all felt Ye Yuan��s sincerity!


    He was not making use of Zhao Yue. He genuinely wanted to save this monster!


    They felt incredulous. If it were them, they absolutely could not do it.


    This kind of monster, they felt disgusted just by taking a look.


    As if moved by Ye Yuan��s sincerity, Zhao Yue did not attack Ye Yuan this time.


    ��Believe me. I can turn you back into your original appearance!��


    Ye Yuan walked in front of Zhao Yue, placed his hand on top of his head, and gently stroked him.


    Feng Qingxuan and the rest opened their eyes wide. Zhao Yue actually became quiet!

 Chapter 2992 - This Seat Will Let You Know!

    ��Pffft!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy directly crushed an Emperor Sakra Heavenly Emperor��s head and threw the dead body to one side.


    This move intimidated everyone.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was not some flower vase. He was a mighty origin realm expert.


    Moreover, he even had many Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm powerhouses by his side!


    The rioting army��s powerhouses started to despair.


    The opponent was too strong. He did not give them a chance at all!


    The Divine Dragon Envoy��s gaze swept over everyone��s faces and said coolly, ��A bunch of ant-like fellows! Just based on you people, you also want to escape Blood Dragon Island? Forget about you all. Even Hegemon Realms can forget about leaving too!��


    Everyone had fearful looks on their faces, all remaining silent and not speaking.


    They gave up. There was no hope of escaping at all!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The dragon envoy said, ��Go and put them back in handcuffs and escort them back! Whoever dares to resist, kill without amnesty!��


    Hence, his subordinates carried one sealing handcuff after another and came over.


    Even so, there were still hot-blooded people.


    ��Either way, it��s also dying. I��ll fight it out with you all!��


    ��I don��t want to go back and live a life worse than pigs and dogs again!��


    ��Killing one breaks even. Killing two is making a profit! Go to hell!��


    �� ��


    Several hundred people directly rushed out, attacking the Blood Dragon Island��s powerhouses.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy had a disdainful look, directly throwing a palm out. Several hundred bursts of force tore through the air.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Before those people had time to attack, they were directly blasted into dregs.


    This disparity in power levels could not be compensated for at all.


    Furthermore, these people were detained for a long time. Either the blood essence in their body was drained, or they were test subjects, their combat strength not very strong.


    Those who truly had combat strength were all still being locked in cages.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy swept another glance and said coolly, ��Who else wants to jump out?��


    Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter. No one dared to speak anymore.


    Those who dared to jump were already all dead.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy waved his hands grandly, and his subordinates took action opening move, re-cuffing these people with sealing handcuffs again.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy ordered, ��Where��s Ye Yuan? Bring him over!��


    The subordinate said, ��Replying to Your Excellency, Ye Yuan isn��t among these people!��


    When the Divine Dragon Envoy heard, he smiled coldly and said, ��You bunch of fools, you were made use of by people and didn��t even know it yourselves! But it doesn��t matter. There are still many people outside. They can��t escape! Hur hur, this seat regards this boy very highly. He indeed didn��t let this seat down as well! But this time, this seat is very angry! After capturing him back, this seat will make him become obedient!��


    He had methods to deal with this kind of disobedient people.


    The geniuses that came here, which one was not proud to the extreme?


    In the end, they all became obedient babies.


    Rioting?


    Truly a bunch of ignorant and laughable fellows!


    Blood Dragon Island had been built for so many years. How could they have not considered this point?


    In this water prison, putting aside the layers of restrictions, there was an all-encompassing net laid down outside too.


    Forget about a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven; even an Emperor Sakra Heaven could forget about escaping too!


    A prisoner said weakly, ��Y-Your Excellency, Ye Yuan he didn��t run away.��


    ��Mn? Didn��t run away? That��s even better. Take me to him. This seat wants to see whether or not he has three heads and six arms!�� The Divine Dragon Envoy said disdainfully.


    Although he was disdainful, having such a big disturbance take place this time, he was still very enraged.


    It had been so many years. He never made any mistakes.


    Today, it actually played out like this because of a little fellow. The Divine Dragon Envoy could not help feeling very angry.


    ��H-He��s releasing Zhao Yue,�� that person said again weakly.


    ��What��s the use of releasing Zhao Yue �� what did you say? He �� He wants to release Zhao Yue?��


    In the beginning, the Divine Dragon Envoy did not react to who Zhao Yue was.


    When he wrapped his mind around it, that sentence was virtually distorting his mind.


    At the thought of Zhao Yue breaking free, he was frightened until his soul left his body.


    Zhao Yue was too dangerous!


    This guy was only suppressed by requesting Lord Dragonsand to personally take action the last time!


    Lord Dragonsand was a Supreme Hegemon!


    If this guy got out, the entire Blood Dragon Island would be torn up by him!


    However, at the thought of how there weren��t any happenings yet, his heart calmed down again.


    If Zhao Yue really broke free, he would have long charged over.


    ��Hurry, go and inform Lord Bloodless and Lord Dragonwild! You go in front to take a look at the situation. If you discover Ye Yuan, immediately capture him and bring him over for me!�� The Divine Dragon Envoy��s reaction was extremely fast too, immediately giving the order.


    The Emperor Sakra Heaven, who was called, had a myriad of profanities galloping across in his heart.


    Why don��t you freaking go?


    If that monster really ran out, Your Father would be directly torn to shreds by him!


    But, toward the Divine Dragon Envoy��s order, he had no choice but to obey.


    Otherwise, he would have to die right now.


    There was no way to go around it. He could only toughen his scalp and go.


    ��No need. I��m already here.�� Right at this time, a voice sounded out at the back of the rioting army.


    It was Ye Yuan!


    However, his figure was blocked by the army and could not be seen.


    But the Divine Dragon Envoy��s heart settled down.


    If that monster was released, it would be impossible to be so quiet.


    That monster did not recognize its closest relatives at all.


    In one exchange, more than half of the people here would probably die.


    Hence, he laughed coldly and said, ��Huhu, you, brat, know that you��re at the end of your rope. Now, you��re here to admit your mistake? Too late! This seat will let you know that there��s a price to pay for doing some things! Come, men! Detain him!��


    ��No need. I��ll come over myself!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    There was suddenly a commotion at the back.


    The crowd automatically opened up a path.


    Everyone��s faces revealed looks of fear.


    The place that Ye Yuan passed through, everyone would immediately hide far away.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was somewhat curious. What was wrong with these guys? Each and every one of them seemed like they had seen a ghost.


    Is this Ye Yuan so scary?


    I��ve seen him before, a pretty good-looking young man.


    Very soon, the crowd completely parted, and the Divine Dragon Envoy saw Ye Yuan.


    Just one look, and he was frightened until his legs turned soft, and he almost knelt on the ground.


    Only to see a monster that resembled neither human nor ghost behind Ye Yuan. Who could it be if not Zhao Yue?


    A large group of monsters was even following behind Zhao Yue!


    These monsters were all failed defects!


    But now, they were all following behind Ye Yuan, incomparably docile and obedient!


    He rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting whether or not he saw wrongly.


    The unbelievably irascible Zhao Yue was actually so obedient?


    ��Roar!��


    Seeing the Divine Dragon Envoy, Zhao Yue suddenly became feverish, roaring angrily.


    It was only to see his two eyes turned blood-red. It was as if he might pounce at any time.


    Even if his sanity was almost extinguished, he instinctively hated this guy who turned him into a monster.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was pissing his pants in fear!


    He was really pissing in his pants!


    He had seen before this monster going crazy. It was too terrifying!


    Ye Yuan stroked Zhao Yue��s head, and Zhao Yue quietened down again.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy quivered, astonished to the extreme in his heart.


    This �� How was this possible?


    This guy was actually so docile in front of Ye Yuan!


    One had to know, even Hegemon Dragonsand could not make this guy behave back then either!


    Just what kind of magic did this boy cast?


    This monster did not have intelligence at all. He could actually subdue it?


    Ye Yuan looked at the Divine Dragon Envoy and said with a sneer, ��Just now, you said that some things when done, there will be a price to be paid?��

 Chapter 2993 - The Samsara of Cause and Effect!

    ��I-I said this before? W-Why don��t I remember it? You must have heard wrongly!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was extremely terrified. Zhao Yue was staring fixedly at him. That ferocious gaze never left him up till now.


    A powerhouse at his level of cultivation realm originally should not be like this.


    But Zhao Yue��s appearance and primitive, brutal aura indeed made people daunted at the sight of him.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy was an origin powerhouse, but in front of Zhao Yue, it was a joke!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I feel that what you said is very right! As the Divine Dragon Envoy, your hands are stained full of your own people��s blood! You��re not ashamed in the slightest, but take pride in it instead! You indeed have to pay the price for what you��ve done!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy felt Ye Yuan��s killing intent. His expression changed drastically as he said, ��Ye Yuan, you understand. I �� I was just obeying orders! The real executioner is someone else!��


    Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, ��Do you really take me to be a kid who��s still wet behind my ears? For over 100 thousand years, the crimes that you��ve committed are too numerous to be recorded! Today, pay the price for the things that you��ve done!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy��s expression changed wildly, both legs trembling non-stop.


    Under Zhao Yue��s tremendous pressure, he did not even have the courage to resist.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    But right at this time, a trace of ripple appeared in the air. Hegemon Bloodless and Hegemon Dragonwild emerged.


    Two great Hegemons descended at the same time!


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed. He did not expect that there was actually still more Hegemon Realm on this Blood Dragon Island!


    It looked like the dragon race had some people who attached a lot of importance to this place!


    ��Alright, the farce ends here!�� Bloodless said coolly.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy drew a deep breath, feeling akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    The two great Hegemon Realm powerhouses were here. He finally had the confidence!


    His gaze turned cold, and he said with a sneer, ��Ye Yuan, are you very surprised? Didn��t expect that there are actually two Hegemon Realms on Blood Dragon Island, right? Do you think that by controlling this monster, everything will go off without a hitch? Hur hur, now, I want to see who��s paying the price!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue opened his gaping maws and became more and more berserk.


    Bloodless was a target that he must kill too!


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Yue and said, ��Let��s avoid them first?��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue��s angry roar became increasingly maniacal.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Alright, I understand! Since that��s the case, you do as you wish then!��


    ��Roar!��


    The Divine Dragon Envoy smiled coldly and said, ��Beast-like thing, merely a defective product, that��s all. To also dare call out in front of two great Hegemon Realms!��


    With two great Hegemons here, Divine Dragon Envoy��s courage also grew considerably.


    Regarding Zhao Yue this kind of monster, he held him in contempt.


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Yue��s figure instantly became blurry. A horrifying to the extreme aura swept over toward the Divine Dragon Envoy.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan��s figure also became blurry, fleeing the battlefield.


    He sustained serious injuries and had not fully recovered yet.


    Bloodless snorted coldly and said, ��Ignorant brute, courting death!��


    Virtually at the same time, two great Hegemons made a move at the same time, dealing with Zhao Yue.


    But the moment they made a move, the two people��s expressions changed!


    Zhao Yue��s sharp claws seemed to be able to tear this sky.


    A scent of incredible danger hit them head-on.


    Bang!


    Bang!


    Bloodless and Dragonwild��s figures left faster than when they arrived!


    Zhao Yue repelled two great Hegemons with one move!


    His figure continued pouncing over toward the Divine Dragon Envoy, grabbing him in his hand and started tearing.


    At the same time, Ye Yuan displayed a spatial secret technique, bringing the majority of the people out of the battlefield.


    Those who failed to avoid it in time were directly shocked into meat paste by the aura of the three great Hegemons.


    Also, those defective specimens that Zhao Yue brought, their two eyes turned bloodshot too, pouncing over toward the other Emperor Sakra Heaven experts.


    At once, the entire dungeon became a hot mess.


    There were powerful restrictions inside the dungeon.


    Everyone only saw the raging energy flying everywhere like stray bullets; instant death upon contact!


    Puu, puu, puu, puu!


    Zhao Yue tore the Divine Dragon Envoy to shreds very violently.


    However, he did not tear apart his origin divinity. He swallowed it in one mouthful.


    He had an instinctive hatred toward the Divine Dragon Envoy and would not let him die so easily.


    From start to end, the Divine Dragon Envoy did not have any strength to fight back at all.


    The Divine Dragon Envoy probably never even dreamed that he would die at the hands of the ��monster�� that he created.


    Perhaps, this was the samsara of cause and effect!


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared, seemingly feeling the delight of having taken revenge.


    Dragonwild and Bloodless seeing this scene, the two great Hegemons�� expressions were very ugly.


    This guy was very troublesome!


    Zhao Yue��s strength had somewhat exceeded their expectations.


    In reality, it also greatly exceeded Ye Yuan��s expectations.


    Zhao Yue��s strength probably did not lose to Peak Hegemons already.


    Plus that brutal savage strength and imposing momentum that did not fear death, his combat power probably approached Supreme Hegemon!


    Bloodless and Dragonwild were both not weaklings, but they were still repelled by him with one move!


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue suddenly turned his head, staring fixedly at Bloodless.


    This was the second person that he was going to kill!


    After Bloodless became Hegemon Realm, he virtually did not know what fear was.


    But now, he felt his hair stand on end!


    Zhao Yue was very dangerous!


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Yue turned into an afterimage, pouncing toward Bloodless.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Zhao Yue��s attacks were incomparably fierce, without easing up at all.


    Bloodless did not even have the chance to use his ultimate move.


    Very primitive, very violent, but very strong!


    Dragonwild actually did not dare to join the battle for some time.


    This Zhao Yue was too ferocious and brutal!


    ��Dragonwild, if you still don��t take action, the two of us will have to die here today! His strength is already infinitely close to Supreme Hegemon!�� Bloodless roared angrily.


    When Dragonwild heard that, he could only clench his teeth and join the fight.


    But it was useless!


    Zhao Yue fighting one against two completely suppressed them.


    The entire dungeon was reduced to fragments by the three people��s battle.


    Even the restrictions started shattering!


    Finally, with a bang, the top of the dungeon had a large hole being punched out. The stars outside could be seen.


    The three people directly fought their way out from underground.


    When those prisoners saw this scene, each and every one of their faces turned white.


    This kind of battle was too savage and brutal!


    They were unable to imagine, if it was not for Ye Yuan subduing Zhao Yue, would they have been torn to pieces or not?


    Such an existence made them feel fear from the bottom of their souls.


    Many people��s eyes looked toward Ye Yuan.


    How did this guy do it?


    Such a ferocious existence, they felt their souls quiver just with one glance.


    Ye Yuan could actually subdue him.


    Furthermore, they could tell that Ye Yuan did not have any contractual relationship with Zhao Yue.


    But Zhao Yue, without any intelligence, was actually willing to listen to Ye Yuan��s orders.


    This was simply too miraculous!


    But no matter what, they were saved!


    The feeling of seeing the light of day again was really too wonderful!


    The ferocious beasts that Zhao Yue brought out, their strength were all extremely powerful.


    Before long, Blood Dragon Island��s elite powerhouses were all brutally killed.


    Those prisoners were all extremely thrilled.


    Today, this damn place that trapped them for several thousand years was finally going to be torn apart!

 Chapter 2994 - It Has Nothing to Do With Me Anymore?

    Above the void, the battle was furious to the extreme.


    The three great Hegemons�� battle was completely not like the battle of Hegemon Realms.


    Primitive and fierce!


    Zhao Yue disregarded getting injured, attacking Bloodless frenziedly.


    Bloodless�� physical body had already been smashed many times.


    He only survived by relying on powerful revival from a drop of blood.


    But, the more Bloodless fought, the more terrified he became.


    Was this guy really the monster that he created?


    Why was he so strong?


    When Hegemon Dragonsand suppressed Zhao Yue in the past, he was clearly not so strong yet!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    This was of course Ye Yuan��s work.


    Ye Yuan helped Zhao Yue to examine his bloodlines and discovered that the bloodline powers within his body were incomparably complicated.


    The Conversion Blood Crystal that Bloodless spent 100 thousand years to come up with was naturally not an ordinary object.


    With Ye Yuan��s current ability, he could not resolve it at all.


    After all, this was a Hegemon level thing.


    Ye Yuan discovered that those complicated to the extreme bloodlines had already completely fused into one entity with Zhao Yue and could not be separated at all.


    At least, with his current strength, he could not do it at all.


    But Ye Yuan thought of a way. It was to inject a drop of his blood essence into Zhao Yue��s body!


    Of course, his fused bloodline was actually nothing to Zhao Yue.


    Zhao Yue��s bloodlines were far stronger than Ye Yuan��s fused bloodline.


    It was just that the bloodline conflict left him in the abyss of suffering at all times.


    It was also precisely because of this that Zhao Yue became extremely irascible.


    However, a trace of blood origin was contained in Ye Yuan��s blood essence!


    The origin of chaos blood was the source of all blood. There was no need to say more about its power.


    Under Ye Yuan��s guidance, this trace of origin power had the effect of a lubricant.


    It was just like Zhao Yue��s bloodline powers. They were originally stacked together like miscellaneous things. But now, they were arranged neatly.


    Therefore, Zhao Yue��s control over his bloodlines became even more accomplished with high proficiency.


    He did not need to waste energy to go and maintain that complicated bloodline conflict.


    Hence, his combat strength went off the charts!


    ��Argh! Argh! Argh! Why is it like this? How can it be like this?��


    Bloodless also did not expect that this creature that he created was actually so powerful.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Bloodless��s physical body was blown apart over and over again.


    Zhao Yue did not know fatigue at all. You revive ten times, I��ll blow you apart ten times!


    You revive a hundred times, I��ll blow you apart a hundred times!


    Finally, after being blasted apart once more, he could no longer recover.


    The powerful Hegemon Bloodless was completely killed by the ��monster�� that he created!


    Once Bloodless died, Dragonwild was unable to salvage the situation alone and fell very quickly.


    Two great hegemons died at the hands of Zhao Yue this ��monster��!


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue lifted his head to the sky and roared angrily, seemingly giving vent to the resentment in his heart.


    His intelligence was almost wiped out, but the instinct to take revenge was still there.


    Now that the great enmity had been avenged, his angry roar carried an inexplicable grief, moving people.


    Below, thousands of people felt deeply affected, as if they had experienced it too. Many people actually shed tears.


    In fact, what happened to Zhao Yue actually happened to them too.


    Finished venting, Zhao Yue leaped down and came before Ye Yuan, lying prostrating.


    Clearly, he was thanking Ye Yuan.


    The current Zhao Yue was extremely respectful and submissive. How did he still have the demeanor of the king of all beasts?


    All around, thousands of people directly knelt down toward Ye Yuan.


    This person was sent by heaven to save them!


    ��Many thanks, Sir Ye, for your life-saving grace!�� Everyone spoke in unison.


    Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, ��If you all want to thank, thank Zhao Yue and his companions! I know that you all view him as a monster, but they are not monsters! They relied on powerful will to survive. Their humanity had not been extinguished! If that were not the case, even if I had exceedingly formidable abilities, I can��t save all of you either!��


    When everyone heard that, each and every one of them was extremely ashamed.


    Transplanting Conversion Blood Crystal had extremely high mortality.


    Those able to survive were anomalies.


    However, nobody saw them as humans, even if Zhao Yue and the others were once one of them.


    This kind of incomparably ugly monster, even they themselves felt disgusted too.


    And also �� fear!


    But it was these monsters that they looked down on in their hearts that rescued them today and avenged them!


    ��M-many thanks for Brother Zhao��s life-saving grace!��


    ��Thank you, Brother Zhao, for taking action!��


    �� ��


    Gradually, more and more people bowed toward Zhao Yue.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhao Yue and said with a smile, ��You look, they are all thanking you!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared fiercely as though he was angry. Everyone was alarmed when they saw it.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��He��s happy!��


    Only then did everyone feel relieved.


    The current Zhao Yue was no different from a wild beast. Everything was based on instinct.


    The only one that he trusted was Ye Yuan!


    This was because the sincerity of Ye Yuan was something that no one else had.


    In the horizon, more than a hundred people in mighty contingents were flying over toward this side.


    These hundreds of people had an imposing momentum, seething with killing intent.


    Especially the old man in the front, he had an unstoppable momentum.


    These people were precisely the various tribe powerhouses that came from afar.


    ��Long Qianxiang, come out for this seat and die!��


    His voice reached first before his person reached. Hegemon Long Ran��s fury at this time could be seen.


    But, when his figure appeared in the sky above Blood Dragon Island, his entire person was stunned.


    ��This �� Where are the people?�� Long Ran said with a dumbfounded look.


    The auras of Hegemons were very strong. Let alone that Zhao Yue had fought fiercely with the two great Hegemons for the greater part of a day.


    Dragonwild��s and Bloodless��s auras had not dissipated yet until now.


    Long Ran was very certain that there were two great Hegemons who died!


    The entire Blood Dragon Island was a scene of desolation, being fought until it fragmented into pieces, becoming a wasteland.


    Even Long Ran, this Hegemon Realm, was stunned by the scene before his eyes too.


    Two great Hegemons falling, this was a huge matter!


    This �� What was going on?


    Ye Yuan rose up into the air and said to Long Ran with cupped fists: ��Senior Long Ran, Blood Dragon Island��s matter has already been resolved. The two great Hegemons on the island, Dragonwild and Bloodless, had been executed! Everyone who was involved in murdering their own people, they had all been beheaded!��


    Long Ran had a stunned look again and said, ��R-Resolved? So it has nothing to do with me anymore?��


    ��Roar!��


    Behind Ye Yuan, Zhao Yue rose up into the air and bared his teeth at Long Ran, brimming with killing intent.


    When Long Ran saw Zhao Yue��s ferocious appearance, he could not help jumping in fright and was almost about to attack.


    Ye Yuan hurriedly said, ��Senior, please stay your hand. The one who killed Dragonwild and Bloodless was precisely Zhao Yue! Zhao Yue, this is Senior Long Ran. Don��t be rude!��


    The moment Zhao Yue heard, he immediately stopped behind Ye Yuan and stopped flying off the handle.


    When Long Ran saw this scene, his eyeballs were almost popping out.


    Zhao Yue gave him an extremely dangerous aura. He had a feeling that if they really came to blows, he was most likely not this guy��s match.


    Furthermore, this guy was incomparably savage. He was completely a wild beast.


    But he was actually so obedient in front of Ye Yuan.


    How did �� this boy do it?


    During this period of time, Ye Yuan had always been devoted to Blood Dragon Island��s matter, and he cut off the connection with his human soul clone.


    Therefore, Long Ran did not know what happened here.


    It was also precisely because of this that when the human soul clone knew that things were bad, he urged Long Ran to hurry over.


    Long Ran did not expect that it actually had nothing to do with him anymore.

 Chapter 2995 - Hell Definitely Pay the Price!

    After dispelling the heavy fog, everyone seemed to have stepped into paradise!


    Many true dragons were soaring in the sky.


    This place was the world of dragons!


    ��Stop! Trespassing Heavenly Dragon Island is a capital offense!�� Suddenly, a voice came out of the large fog.


    Two Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm true dragons dashed out, blocking everyone��s path.


    But very soon, their expressions changed.


    Because they saw thousands of people moving like a great flood, barging into Heavenly Dragon Island.


    Each one was very powerful!


    The old man in front was even an existence that made them tremble.


    ��Long Min, you��re really awe-inspiring, to dare block this seat��s path!�� Long Ran said with a cold snort.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    This group of people was precisely Long Ran and party who came from Blood Dragon Island to denounce publicly for crimes.


    Originally, Long Ran planned on coming alone. But, he listened to Ye Yuan��s advice and brought these thousands of people all onto Heavenly Dragon Island.


    Apart from this, the leaders of East Billow Region��s various major tribes, as well as four other Hegemon Realm powerhouses, were all gathered here.


    In order to put pressure on Heavenly Dragon Island!


    These people represented the entire East Billow Region!


    ��This �� Elder Long Ran has returned. Long Min naturally doesn��t dare to stop. But these people �� each and every one of them, they are strange beings. How can they enter Heavenly Dragon Island? Whatever business Elder Long Ran has, you can enter the island with all the elders. As for the others, they had better remain outside!�� Long Min said neither obsequiously nor haughtily.


    But the meaning in his words was filled with disdain.


    The ��strange beings�� that he talked about, it was naturally referring to Zhao Yue and the rest.


    These people were filled with a savage aura on their bodies.


    In Long Min��s view, they were not worthy to enter the island at all.


    Heavenly Dragon Island was the holy land of the 33 Heavens�� dragon race, being a paramount place.


    These monsters getting on the island were desecrating the holy land!


    Long Ran and the rest of the Hegemon Realm powerhouses naturally had extremely high statuses in the dragon race.


    It was just that they were advanced in age and could not bear to part with their tribes. That was why they did not stay on Heavenly Dragon Island.


    But they were all Heavenly Dragon Island��s Hegemon Realm elders. They naturally had the qualifications to enter the island.


    ��Roar!��


    Behind Ye Yuan, Zhao Yue roared furiously. His fiendish aura instantly spread throughout the entire island.


    Long Min��s expression changed greatly. He felt the scent of death.


    It was not just Zhao Yue. Long Min��s words made everyone who were already sensitive to begin with, completely explode.


    ��This guy must be in cahoots with Long Qianxiang!��


    ��Kill him, take revenge for our dead brothers!��


    ��Your Father is risking it all today and fighting it out with Heavenly Dragon Island!��


    �� ��


    Facing Long Min��s discrimination, each and every one of them was extremely indignant and virtually wanted to rampage.


    Long Min could not quite hold them back anymore. Although he was aware that he was aloof from the masses, one look and it was clear that these people were not to be trifled with.


    Disregarding Zhao Yue, none of those monsters behind him was to be trifled with.


    Any random one that came out could tear him to shreds!


    ��Get lost! Otherwise, this seat will kill you now as a sacrificial offering!�� Long Ran said with seething killing intent.


    Long Min��s expression changed repeatedly, and he said, ��Elder Long Ran, here is Heavenly Dragon Island! If you do this, you have to consider the consequences!��


    Long Ran sneered and said, ��If this place isn��t Heavenly Dragon Island, this seat wouldn��t come! Today, this seat came to ask Mi Zhen, whether or not he still takes this seat to be a clansman!��


    Finished saying, he directly smacked Long Min flying with a slap and could not be bothered to talk rubbish with him at all.


    Several thousand people marched for the sky above Heavenly Dragon Island in a mighty contingent.


    The entire Heavenly Dragon Island seethed with excitement at once!


    Many people were uncertain what it meant and even thought that there were enemies attacking.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    �� ��


    One powerful aura after another stepped out of the void.


    One!


    Two!


    Three!


    37 Hegemon Realms!


    Ye Yuan could not help drawing a cold breath. This�� was also too strong!


    The entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven only had 60 over Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    While a single Heavenly Dragon Island actually had 37 Hegemon Realms already!


    Plus Long Ran the five of them, there were 42!


    Ye Yuan knew that there were definitely still many Hegemon Realms that had gone into hiding. Just one dragon clan, the number of Hegemon Realms was no less than 60!


    This power was too terrifying!


    How many Hegemon Realms did the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven have?


    No wonder the blood race did not dare to invade this place in a flagrant manner. Once they angered the four symbols family clans, several hundred Hegemon Realms joining forces could directly level them!


    With 37 Hegemon Realms stood proudly in the air, it completely suppressed the imposing momentum on Ye Yuan��s side at once.


    A Hegemon Realm whose aura was powerful to the extreme questioned Long Ran, ��Long Ran, do you want to rebel? Bringing a bunch of monsters and forcibly getting on Heavenly Dragon Island, what do you want?��


    Ye Yuan felt that this person��s strength was at least Supreme Hegemon level too!


    ��Rebel? Hur hur, Long Jian, this old man��s head isn��t rotten. Can I rebel just by bringing these people? This old man came here today with no other intention than to seek justice for East Billow Region��s children and grandchildren! If Heavenly Dragon Island feels that our East Billow Region is expendable, then you can very well annihilate all of us today! From now on, Heavenly Dragon Island is Heavenly Dragon Island, and East Billow Region is East Billow Region. We��ll have no dealings with each other! Either way, in the eyes of you all, these Hegemons who are far removed from the masses and reality, we��re just a bunch of ants!�� Long Ran��s words carried endless lament and resentment.


    On Blood Dragon Island, he understood everything.


    Looking at these monster-like children, his heart ached to the extreme.


    Over 100 thousand years, how many geniuses died?


    Among these people, perhaps there would be Hegemon Realms appearing. No matter how lacking, there would also be a large batch of origin powerhouses.


    But they all died in their own people��s hands!


    Long Jian��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Long Ran, have you gone muddleheaded with age? East Billow Region and Heavenly Dragon Island are of the same breath and branch! We are both of the dragon race! Where are your words coming from?��


    ��Of the same breath and branch! Hahaha, what a fine of the same breath and branch! Long Jian, you open your eyes wide and take a good look at them! Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang turned them into resembling neither human nor ghost! You��re telling me now, of the same breath and branch? Don��t tell me that Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang has nothing to do with Heavenly Dragon Island, right?�� Long Ran laughed until tears ran down his old face.


    Long Jian��s expression changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Long Ran, you have to take responsibility for saying this kind of words!��


    ��Long Ran! This seat knows that you harbor discontentment, but making slanderous charges like this, do you really think that this seat doesn��t dare to kill you?�� At this time, another Supreme Hegemon came forward and criticized Long Ran.


    ��Roar!��


    It was only to hear an astonishing angry roar. Zhao Yue directly turned into an afterimage without waiting for Ye Yuan��s orders, pouncing toward this person.


    Everyone felt Zhao Yue��s heinous wrath!


    ��Bang!��


    Enormous fluctuations rippled in the void, and Zhao Yue was directly sent flying out.


    And that Supreme Hegemon was actually also knocked back several thousand feet by Zhao Yue!


    ��Vile beast! This seat will slaughter you!�� That Supreme Hegemon was greatly enraged and was about to kill.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared angrily too and pounced once more.


    ��Zhao Yue, stop!�� Ye Yuan hurriedly yelled.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared angrily with unwillingness.


    Ye Yuan leaped up and arrived in front of Zhao Yue and said firmly, ��I know that your fury is hard to appease, but I guarantee you, he��ll definitely pay the price!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue seemed to understand Ye Yuan��s words, roaring angrily again, but restrained his sharp edge.


    Above the sky, the group of Hegemon Realm powerhouses was incredibly amazed.


    They could tell that this wild beast-like monster did not have intelligence.


    But he was actually so submissive and obedient to a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven!

 Chapter 2996 - Chaos True Dragon!

    Ye Yuan did not recognize this Supreme Hegemon, but he already knew who he was.


    Hegemon Dragonsand!


    Back then, when Zhao Yue was completely beastified, he was suppressed by him.


    Clearly, the experience back then was very unpleasant.


    Zhao Yue only relied on instinct when doing things. Apart from Hegemon Dragonsand, nobody made him have such great fury.


    ��Hur hur, little fellow, your tone is very big! You think that because this ugly monster listens to you, you can be unbridled in front of this seat?�� Dragonsand said with a light laugh.


    Clearly, he did not place Ye Yuan, this little bug, in his sights at all.


    That made sense. Why would an exalted Supreme Hegemon place an Emperor Cloud Heaven in his eyes?


    However, he was calm and collected on the surface. In reality, he was extremely shocked in his heart.


    He naturally knew who Zhao Yue was because it was he who took action to suppress Zhao Yue when he was forced to fuse with the Conversion Blood Crystal.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Back then, the berserk Zhao Yue did not have the strength to resist at all under his hands.


    But, that blow earlier, although Zhao Yue was somewhat at a disadvantage, he already had the qualification to fight with him!


    Furthermore, this monster did not recognize its closest relatives and was violent to the extreme. It could actually heed Ye Yuan��s words.


    This boy was not simple!


    Ye Yuan looked at Dragonsand and said coolly, ��Dragonsand, we haven��t come after you yet, but you jumped out yourself. When we all, these people, came to Heavenly Dragon Island, we didn��t think of going back alive at all! If Blood Dragon Island��s matter is the entire Heavenly Dragon Island��s intention, then I have nothing to say. Today, just count it as the few thousand of us are walking right into a trap. But if it isn��t, hur hur, you probably can��t shirk responsibility!��


    Dragonsand��s gaze turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, ��What Blood Dragon Island? Brat, you dare to slander this seat. This seat will kill you right now! Could it be that anyone else dare to say a word of refusal?��


    Terrifying power of origin directly pressed over toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan seemed to be hit by a paralyzing hex, unable to move at all.


    This was the strength of a Supreme Hegemon!


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared angrily once more, preparing to pounce towards Dragonsand.


    ��Enough! Dragonsand, stop! The matter hasn��t been figured out yet. What are you haggling over with a junior for?�� Long Jian stopped.


    Dragonsand was clearly a little apprehensive of Long Jian. That was why he restrained his aura and said with a cold snort, ��This junior has a human physical body, but he possesses heaven qian grade bloodline. It��s peculiar! No matter how things are, we have to figure it out!��


    Long Jian nodded his head, expressing agreement.


    Indeed, he found it very strange too.


    Ye Yuan��s bloodline power clearly could not hide from these major powers.


    ��Long Ran, whatever there is, say it clearly in front of all the clansmen!�� Long Jian said.


    Long Ran said with a cold smile, ��Heh heh, luckily, this old man listened to Ye Yuan and came with such a grand line-up. Otherwise, I really couldn��t have explained things with one mouth! This matter can��t be reasoned with you. I want to see Progenitor Mi Zhen!��


    Long Jian frowned and said, ��Long Ran, you��re going overboard!��


    Long Ran did not care in the slightest and said with a cold snort, ��Long Jian, this matter, don��t need me to say, you��ve also guessed some things, right? I came today to personally ask Progenitor Mi Zhen, whether or not he has given up on the East Billow Region? If so, don��t need everyone to take action. This old man will kill them with my own hands, then pass away in seclusion here!��


    His gaze swept over the faces of all the Hegemons, and he asked in a solemn voice, ��There are many among you all who came from the East Billow Region too! Now, somebody is treating your children and descendants as pigs and sheep. Both hands stained full of their own people��s fresh blood! Do you all have an easy conscience like this?��


    Those present were all not fools.


    Long Ran coming with such a grand line-up, bringing along a bunch of ugly creatures and forcibly entering Heavenly Dragon Island, how could they not see through some clues?


    They were also extremely shocked in their hearts.


    There was actually someone who had such gall!


    Long Jian let out a sigh and said, ��Alright, this seat understands!��


    Rumble ��


    An enormous round hole suddenly appeared in the sky.


    A massive dragon head emerged from the round hole.


    A boundless chaos aura instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Dragon Island.


    Seeing this enormous dragon, Ye Yuan actually gave rise to the impulse to prostrate in worship.


    He was incredibly shocked in his heart!


    Was this the aura of a powerhouse who was about to reach the Great Beyond in the legends?


    Strong!


    Really strong to the extreme!


    Originally, Ye Yuan thought that Supreme Hegemon was already the limit of Hegemon Realm.


    Such as Hegemon Imperishable that level of existence, he was seriously far too strong.


    Even if Hegemon Samsara was stronger than him, how strong could he be?


    But now, having witnessed this enormous dragon, he completely understood.


    Under the firmament, Ye Yuan felt that he was as insignificant as an ant.


    They were heaven!


    The enormous dragon swam out of the sky. That massive body could not be contained even by the entire vast expanse of heaven.


    Ye Yuan estimated with his eyes that this enormous dragon��s body was probably reached 100 thousand feet long!


    Chaos true dragon!


    This was an existence that was born from heaven and earth!


    ��Paying respects to Progenitor Mi Zhen!�� Everyone knelt down toward this giant dragon.


    In fact, even the incomparably berserk Zhao Yue lied prostrate.


    There was a voice in Ye Yuan��s heart that was calling non-stop, asking him to kneel.


    But he did not!


    Instead, Ye Yuan stuck his chest up and stood even straighter.


    The giant dragon��s gaze looked over, the dragon head sticking straight down, virtually touching Ye Yuan��s face.


    ��Young man, why do you not kneel?��


    ��I��m a divergent cultivator. I don��t even kneel to heaven and earth. Why would I kneel to you?��


    ��You have a dragon soul; you��re of the dragon race. So you have to kneel to this ancestor!��


    ��You��re born from heaven and earth, then, do you kneel to heaven and earth?��


    Mi Zhen stared at Ye Yuan and was silent for a long time.


    Ye Yuan also met Mi Zhen��s two eyes and did not shrink back in the slightest.


    Long Ran and the rest felt like they were almost fainting in anger.


    This punk��s gall was also too fat!


    This was the progenitor. You actually dared to speak like that?


    ��Hahaha ����


    Suddenly, Mi Zhen burst into laughter.


    The laughter shook until heaven and earth changed colors.


    Ye Yuan felt that his bones were almost being shattered.


    ��Interesting! An interesting little fellow! Looks like you understand heaven very well! Across the heavens and myriad worlds, there has never been a divergent cultivator who could transcend samsara! This progenitor really wants to see how you fight with heaven!��


    Amidst the loud laughter, Mi Zhen pulled back and circled around above the void again.


    Ye Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief in secret.


    This scene earlier merely lasted for a dozen over breaths.


    But Ye Yuan felt as if ten thousand years had passed.


    His heartbeat was almost stopping!


    Facing such an existence, to say that his heart was still like water, that would be a lie.


    But Ye Yuan��s willpower was long already incomparably powerful. He overcame it!


    Of course, what was more important was that Mi Zhen was really too terrifying!


    He did not have any secrets to speak of in front of him.


    Being so near, Ye Yuan did not know whether or not Mi Tian would be exposed.


    But, just now, Mi Tian seemingly disappeared from his body.


    Even Ye Yuan himself could not feel his existence anymore.


    Very clearly, Mi Zhen could not feel it too.


    At this point, how could Ye Yuan still not guess it?


    To be able to make Mi Tian fall, apart from an existence like Mi Zhen, who else could there be?


    Mi Tian being reluctant to make it clear all along, on the one hand, it was that he himself was not sure too. On the other hand, he was worried that he would harm him.


    Mi Zhen was too strong!


    ��Long Ran, whatever you have, say it!�� Mi Zhen looked at Long Ran and said gravely.

 Chapter 2997 - Overbearing Dragonsand!

    ��What! Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang actually did such things that go against heaven and reason!��


    ��No wonder the younger generation disciples who entered Heavenly Dragon Island these few years have been getting worse with each generation. Turns out that they were sent to Blood Dragon Island!��


    ��The two of them have really lost all balance of judgment! To actually lay such vicious hands on their own people!


    �� ��


    Long Ran revealed everything about Blood Dragon Island��s incident. The entire Heavenly Dragon Island fell into shock.


    And these monsters in front of them were Blood Dragon Island��s ��masterpieces��!


    Although Heavenly Dragon Island��s powerhouses were sitting up high in a prominent position and turned their noses up at East Billow Region, this did not mean that they could butcher their clansmen!


    Heavenly Dragon Island had many Hegemon Realms that came out of the East Billow Region.


    Blood Dragon Island��s matter aroused everyone��s fury.


    ��Presumably, I brought everyone here today to ask one thing. Are the East Billow Region��s tribes still part of the dragon race?�� Long Ran choked with sobs as he said.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Mi Zhen was silent.


    After a long time, he heaved a sigh and said, ��This progenitor wholeheartedly pursued Great Dao these few years, resulting in neglecting Heavenly Dragon Island��s affairs. I didn��t expect that it actually caused such a tragedy. Long Ran, don��t mention such a thing again. This progenitor apologizes to you and to everyone on behalf of Heavenly Dragon Island.��


    These words were sincere and moving.


    Many East Billow Region geniuses felt inexplicably touched.


    Progenitor Mi Zhen was a god-like figure to them.


    But Progenitor Mi Zhen did not put on any airs and actually apologized to them.


    In reality, nobody blamed Mi Zhen at all either. Their resentment and hatred were all focused on Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang.


    ��Progenitor Mi Zhen, you aren��t to be blamed for this. It��s all Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang��s fault!��


    ��Yeah, you don��t need to apologize!��


    ��Progenitor��s apology is too much for us to bear!��


    �� ��


    Everyone was in fear and trepidation. All the people that originally came in a threatening manner became scared all at once.


    Only Ye Yuan and Long Ran were sneering in their hearts.


    Although Mi Tian did not mention this to him, how shrewd was an old monster like Long Ran?


    Mi Tian did not reveal his identity but let Ye Yuan enter Heavenly Dragon Island through mountain challenging, which in itself already indicated many problems.


    Coupled with Mi Tian��s demise, Ye Yuan could roughly guess some things.


    The more Mi Zhen was like this, the more vigilant he was in his heart.


    However, he naturally would not be dumb enough to expose it.


    Long Ran said with righteous indignation, ��Progenitor, we don��t blame you for this! But I want to ask Progenitor one thing. Are the East Billow Region��s various tribes still considered a part of the dragon race?��


    Mi Zhen said in sullen anger, ��Long Ran, these words are overboard! You all are Big Brother and my descendants. You��re naturally all part of the dragon race!��


    Long Ran said, ��Since that��s the case, Progenitor please uphold justice for us! This sort of thing is absolutely not done by Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang only! There must be someone involved from Heavenly Dragon Island. Progenitor, please take charge and get to the bottom of things!��


    Everyone prostrated again and said in unison, ��Progenitor, please get to the bottom of it!��


    Mi Zhen nodded his head and said, ��Dragonsand, what do you have to say?��


    ��Progenitor, there��s nothing to say. As long as they can produce evidence, proving that Blood Dragon Island��s matter was instigated by me behind the scenes, I��ll waste my own cultivation to atone for my crime to Progenitor!��


    Dragonsand had a calm look and was not the least bit worried at all.


    He controlled Blood Dragon Island��s matter remotely and did not leave behind any evidence.


    Now, Dragonwild and Long Qianxiang were both dead. With no witnesses to testify, he was not scared at all.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared angrily again.


    The moment Dragonsand opened his mouth, Zhao Yue always could not control himself.


    Dragonsand looked at Ye Yuan with a frown and said with a cold snort, ��Kid, control this animal well! Otherwise, once this seat is enraged, I��m afraid that I can��t resist slaughtering him! This animal is just a bloodline warrior. He��s not a member of my dragon race! If this seat wants to kill him, nobody will stop me!��


    Ye Yuan was not angry either and said with a light smile, ��Hegemon Dragonsand, do you have what��s called a guilty conscience?��


    Dragonsand could not help laughing and said, ��Is an animal without intelligence roaring a few times at this seat considered proof? I think that the people that this brute is roaring at aren��t just this seat alone, right?


    ��Roar! Roar!��


    Zhao Yue reached the brink of rampaging once more.


    Dragonsand��s two eyes turned cold, and he said coolly, ��Kid, this seat��s dignity isn��t to be provoked by an animal! Give you three breaths of time, if you can��t take out evidence, this seat will slaughter this beast first!��


    Hegemon Dragonsand was overbearing to the extreme.


    However, the Hegemons did not express any dissatisfaction with his words.


    Zhao Yue did not have intelligence at all. Him roaring a few times naturally could not be taken as evidence.


    But Hegemon Dragonsand��s prestige was not to be provoked.


    One should not look at how Hegemon Dragonsand was very respectful in front of Progenitor Mi Zhen. He was a true-blue supreme powerhouse!


    His strength was not at all inferior to the soul race��s Hegemon Imperishable.


    How could this kind of powerhouse let an animal provoke in front of him time and again?


    Therefore, him wanting to kill Zhao Yue was within reason. Nobody could find any problems!


    Hegemon Dragonsand stood with his hands behind his back, looking down from a height.


    In his eyes, no matter whether it was Ye Yuan or Zhao Yue, they were both just ants.


    But Long Ran��s expression was very ugly. The development of things had somewhat escaped his control.


    Proof!


    He really did not have this thing!


    Blood Dragon Island��s matter was done very cleanly.


    He had already searched Blood Dragon Island and did not find any evidence that could directly take Dragonsand down.


    Forcibly entering Heavenly Dragon Island, he wanted to let these several thousand people all tell the same story and cast stones at Dragonsand.


    But he did not expect that Dragonsand was actually so overbearing, directly wanting to kill Zhao Yue.


    Yet, he had no way to reason things out!


    ��Three!��


    ��Two!��


    Dragonsand��s imposing momentum grew stronger and stronger. The pressure of a Supreme Hegemon crushed East Billow Region��s geniuses until each and every one were about to kneel down.


    Clearly, he wanted to take Long Ran down a notch!


    As for the rest, he did not place them in his sights at all.


    Two breaths, his imposing momentum already rose to the peak.


    In the next instant, it was an earth-shattering blow!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan opened his mouth and said coolly, ��You want proof, then I��ll let you see it!��


    ��Humph!��


    Dragonsand snorted coldly. Ye Yuan was akin to having suffered a brutal blow, the two eyes going dark, almost fainting, directly spurting out a large mouthful of blood.


    His entire person was directly being pressed on the ground with an incredible pressure.


    All the bones in his body were directly crushed!


    This guy was too strong. Even if it was just a warning, it was also not what Ye Yuan could withstand.


    He would not kill Ye Yuan because Ye Yuan was of the dragon race.


    But he would not give Ye Yuan the chance to open his mouth!


    ��Brat, the conversation between Hegemon Realms, it isn��t your turn to come and interject! Whatever you have, let Long Ran say it! You aren��t qualified enough!��


    ��Roar!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan get injured, Zhao Yue completely rampaged!


    Dragonsand was overjoyed in his heart. What he wanted was this result!


    Zhao Yue was very troublesome!


    His enmity toward him was a hidden danger from start to end.


    Therefore, resolving it now was the best!


    ��Zhao Yue! Stop!�� At this time, Ye Yuan bellowed.


    Zhao Yue shuddered. He felt Ye Yuan��s fury and actually held back the wildness.


    Only to see Ye Yuan slowly get up from the blood pool, pointing at Dragonsand as he said coldly, ��What are you scared of? Today, unless you kill me in front of Progenitor, I��ll definitely make you pay the price!��

 Chapter 2998 - Enshrouding Mist Soul Reading Art!

    Dragonsand was shocked in his heart. He was very sure that the blow earlier was enough to turn Ye Yuan into a mass of slush, unable to get up anymore.


    But Ye Yuan stood up.


    Then he pointed at his nose and scolded him!


    Which was also to say that this guy was talking to him while withstanding a pile of broken bones and enduring a pain that normal people found it hard to imagine?


    Was this kid a mad man?


    Dragonsand did not expect that this puny little Emperor Cloud Heaven was actually so ruthless to himself!


    ��Scared? Hur hur, apart from Progenitor, there isn��t an existence that makes this seat scared in this world! Just based on you, a measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven? That blow just now was just teaching you a lesson, to let you know how insignificant you are! The world of Hegemon Realms isn��t what you can get involved in! Also, do you really think that this seat doesn��t dare to kill you?�� Hegemon Dragonsand said with a calm look.


    Long Ran also did not expect that Dragonsand actually disregarded his status and made a move against the Emperor Cloud Heaven Ye Yuan.


    At this time, he flew into a great rage and said, ��Dragonsand, do you still want face or not? Bring it on! If you have the ability, kill the few thousand of us! Come on!��


    ��Shameless thing! If you have the ability, kill us!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    ��An exalted Supreme Hegemon actually made a move against an Emperor Cloud Heaven. Do you still want face or not?��


    ��Come on! Kill us!��


    ��Kill us!��


    �� ��


    The East Billow Region��s several thousand people all exploded!


    No matter who Dragonsand messed with, they would not have been so agitated.


    Yet, he touched Ye Yuan!


    Ye Yuan was their savior. Without Ye Yuan, they would still be at that damn place, living a life like hell.


    The Hegemons were all extremely surprised. Clearly, they all did not expect that Dragonsand��s blow actually seemed to have poked the hornet��s nest.


    In their view, although Dragonsand had the suspicion of bullying the weak, he was not wrong!


    A puny little Emperor Cloud Heaven indeed did not have the qualifications to take part in the conversation between Hegemons.


    They had always thought that the leader of this group of people was Long Ran.


    But now, they discovered that it was clearly not!


    Each time that Ye Yuan opened his mouth to speak, their expressions were very different.


    ��Humph! This seat wants to see what proof you can take out! I��ll say it first. If you can��t take out proof, or it��s simply empty rhetoric, then �� this seat will kill people all the same!�� Dragonsand said with a cold snort.


    He gave in.


    Angering the entire East Billow Region, this price was not what he could bear.


    The domineeringness from before was a fair use of his status.


    Hegemons could not be insulted. This idea was seared in everyone��s hearts.


    But now, Ye Yuan had the entire East Billow Region behind him as his backer. It was clearly different.


    ��Zhao Yue!��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was icy-cold to the extreme.


    Zhao Yue became aware of Ye Yuan��s goal and opened his mouth to spit. A remnant soul was spat out.


    This remnant soul was riddled full of holes, looking very miserable. However, his appearance could still be discerned.


    Long Qianxiang!


    ��Long Qianxiang! He��s actually not dead yet!��


    ��He��s pretty much dead like this, right?��


    ��Consciousness is already blurry. There��s no difference from a fool anymore. Can his words serve as evidence?��


    �� ��


    Many Hegemons all secretly shook their heads, feeling that Ye Yuan was extremely unwise.


    It was not that he could not have Long Qianxiang incriminate Dragonsand, but he at least had to have a complete origin divinity too, right?


    What the hell was this?


    When Dragonsand saw this, he could not help laughing and said, ��This is the proof that you��re talking about? Do you think that we all, these Hegemon Realms, are very easy to hoodwink?��


    From start to end, Mi Zhen did not express anything.


    He was aloof from worldly affairs. It was as if everything was under his control.


    Ye Yuan did not talk rubbish, his origin divinity directly leaving his body, transforming into a thick mist.


    Dragonsand��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique! This kid is actually so heaven-defying in the soul path?��


    Even Mi Zhen let out a light cry of surprise too.


    Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, known as the strongest soul physique in the soul race!


    Even Hegemon Heavenly Soul was marginally weaker in comparison too.


    In this place, they actually saw an Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique. How could they not be surprised?


    A Hegemon said, ��I heard that the Nirvanic Soul Clan has many Pseudo Imperishable Soul Physiques. This kid is probably the same too, right? No need to make a big fuss!��


    ��No. Ye Yuan has the true Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique. There��s the aura of chaos in his soul body. It��s exactly the same as Imperishable that old ghost! No, wait! This boy��s Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique is very strange. It��s actually even engraved with many origin seeds!�� Long Jian said with a serious face.


    He and Dragonsand were both the dragon race��s Supreme Hegemons. They were not at all inferior to Hegemon Imperishable. Their experiences and knowledge were naturally extraordinary.


    His words shocked everyone.


    Didn��t that mean that Ye Yuan��s soul physique had even greater potential than Hegemon Imperishable?


    ��However, what is he �� trying to do?�� Many people were wondering with uncertainty.


    Amidst doubtful voices, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique directly burrowed into Long Qianxiang��s dilapidated origin divinity.


    ��Ugh �� ARGHHH!�� Strange cries emitted from Long Qianxiang��s mouth.


    But very soon, the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique spread out. One lifelike image after another appeared in front of everyone.


    ��Are these all Long Qianxiang��s memory fragments?��


    ��That��s Windward Tribe! This accursed brute actually exterminated the entire Windward Tribe?��


    ��Also, isn��t that Hegemon Dragonriver��s grandson? He �� He was captured to Blood Dragon Island too?��


    ��My God, just how many extremely brutal things has this scum done?��


    �� ��


    One scene after another appeared, and the entire Heavenly Dragon Island was shocked.


    These scenes were just Long Qianxiang��s memory fragments and not complete memories.


    But even so, it was sufficient to set the world on fire too.


    Long Qianxiang and Dragonwild, two people, over the years had simply reached a point where all rationality and morality were lost.


    It even involved the descendants of several Hegemons!


    The expressions of those Hegemon Realm powerhouses gradually turned dark.


    Let things drift if they did not affect one personally.


    But now, Long Qianxiang had already touched their reverse scales!


    Suddenly, someone exclaimed, ��Quickly look! That��s Hegemon Dragonsand��s voice. He��s currently giving Long Qianxiang orders!��


    Everyone was startled and hurriedly looked toward that scene.


    It was only to see Long Qianxiang kneeling on the ground, listening attentively to someone��s instructions.


    This person was none other than precisely Dragonsand!


    ��The development is too slow. I need more powerful bloodlines!�� Dragonsand said.


    Long Qianxiang trembled and said, ��Lord Dragonsand, please forgive our offense. We��re already doing our very best, but �� the bloodlines are still insufficient!��


    ��Then go and kill! East Billow Region has so many tribes. There are always some rare bloodlines! If you kill more people, there will naturally be bloodlines!�� Dragonsand said coolly.


    ��Yes! Subordinate understands!�� Long Qianxiang said.


    The conversation was not long, but each word cut deep. That indifference toward his own clansmen made people��s hair stand on end.


    There were not many scenes with him. It could be seen that Dragonsand was extremely careful.


    But he still left behind clues in the end!


    Whoosh!


    All of a sudden, all the scenes disappeared without a trace.


    The Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique turned into a wisp of green smoke and returned to Ye Yuan��s physical body.


    ��Progenitor Mi Zhen, I wonder if this can be taken as proof?�� Ye Yuan stared at the true dragon above the void and said coldly.


    Mi Zhen nodded his head and said, ��The Enshrouding Mist Soul Reading Art has a great reputation. It can naturally serve as proof!��

 Chapter 2999 - Are You Very Surprised?

    Enshrouding Mist Soul Reading Art was Hegemon Imperishable��s unique secret technique.


    Utilizing the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique to perfectly replicate the information in the soul body.


    This move was even more useful than soul search.


    Soul search was too violent, it was very easy to lose some important information, but the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique would not.


    Over 100 thousand years, how many memories was that?


    But, during these 100 thousand years, Dragonsand rarely appeared in Long Qianxiang��s life.


    With soul searching, it basically could not be found.


    But the Enshrouding Mist Soul Reading Art could!


    Dragonsand was shocked. He completely did not expect that Ye Yuan actually still had this move.


    With this, the evidence was really ironclad.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    ��Dragonsand, what do you still have to say now!�� Long Ran berated angrily.


    ��You butcher, you��ve simply lost all balance of judgment!��


    ��Dragonsand, you brute! This seat will fight it out to the bitter end with you today!��


    ��Progenitor, please seek justice for the wronged souls of those clansmen who died!��


    �� ��


    With this, Dragonsand had incurred public wrath.


    What he had done could not see the light at all. If it saw the light, he would die.


    What he offended was the entire dragon race.


    Heavenly Dragon Island��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses more or less had some connections with the East Billow Region.


    The holy land did not exist independently.


    Heavenly Dragon Island��s existence was supported by the entire East Billow Region.


    Dragonsand��s actions had angered everyone!


    Above the void, Mi Zhen looked at Dragonsand and slowly opened his mouth and said, ��Dragonsand, what do you still have to say?��


    Dragonsand��s expression was grim to the extreme. His gaze when looking toward Ye Yuan seethed with killing intent.


    He did not place this ant-like little fellow in his eyes at all.


    Whether or not you were angry or hateful, what did it have to do with me?


    But it was this bug-like existence that exposed all of his unsavory past.


    With this, he really could not clear his name even by jumping into the Yellow River.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Suddenly, Dragonsand let out a wild laugh and pointed at Mi Zhen as he denounced indignantly, ��Mi Zhen, you��ve disappointed me too much!��


    All the Hegemons shut up. Dragonsand went crazy, to actually even dare to scold Progenitor Mi Zhen.


    ��Our dragon race is born from chaos and is the strongest in all the worlds. Why do we have to be content to exercise sovereignty over a part of the region? We stand proudly at the summit of all the heavens and should unify the 33 Heavens to begin with, becoming the overlord of all races! But you only know to eke out a miserable existence on this Heavenly Dragon Island!��


    ��If you��re not doing it, then I��ll do it! What��s wrong with cooperating with the blood race and studying bloodlines? Those who accomplish great things don��t pay attention to trifles! What do a few clansmen dying count for? If it can let everyone become Hegemons, our dragon race will be able to dominate the heavens immediately! At that time, you all will have to thank me, Dragonsand! What wrong have I committed?!��


    The current Dragonsand was unrestrained to the extreme and did not even place Mi Zhen in his sights.


    In fact, some dragon clans�� warring factions were stirred up by him until they were itching for action.


    Unifying the heavens, becoming the overlord of all worlds, this was really a huge temptation.


    ��Dragonsand! You��re really crazy! Have you forgotten about the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then? Unifying the 33 Heavens? You��re pushing the entire divine race towards the abyss!�� Long Jian rebuked angrily.


    Dragonsand smiled coldly and said, ��What the hell does the Labyrinth Divine Palace count as? As long as our bloodline can break through the shackles and have a few more Great Beyond Realm powerhouses appear, why worry that it can��t succeed? Long Jian, you��re a coward!��


    ��Enough!��


    Suddenly, Mi Zhen shouted coldly and said, ��Dragonsand, you disappoint this progenitor too much! This progenitor is born from chaos and has experienced countless years. I haven��t met anyone who could unify the 33 Heavens yet! Furthermore, aren��t you clear what the blood race is like? Asking a tiger for its skin, who gave you the courage?��


    Dragonsand had long already fallen completely into madness and said with a wild laugh, ��Mi Zhen, you��re the same as Mi Tian that old fellow, both gutless fellows! I think that you guys must have reincarnated wrongly. You should have gone to the south to be brothers with that old tortoise to begin with!��


    Mi Zhen��s eyes turned cold, and the aura of Great Dao instantly covered the entire Heavenly Dragon Island.


    It was only to see him raise his dragon claw and directly press down.


    Dragonsand was not willing to show weakness, his aura suddenly skyrocketing.


    Everyone��s expression changed wildly. It was because his aura actually approached that of Mi Zhen��s!


    ��This guy is �� actually powerful to such an extent already!�� Long Jian said in shock.


    Boom!


    With one exchange, the entire Heavenly Dragon Island started to shake.


    Dragonsand was directly smacked flying out.


    It was not that Dragonsand was weak, but that Mi Zhen was really too strong.


    Ye Yuan��s heart stirred slightly. It was his first time witnessing the might of a Great Beyond Realm!


    This kind of power really made people despair!


    Supreme Hegemons completely could not withstand a single blow in front of a Great Beyond powerhouse.


    Dragonsand was very strong, virtually reaching the Great Beyond Realm.


    But it was that tiny bit off in the end.


    Dragonsand was bloodied all over, but he still let out a loud laughter and said, ��Saw that, Mi Zhen? Great Beyond Realm isn��t lofty and out of reach too! I can do it as well!��


    Mi Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��You��re still lacking some level of attainment in the end!��


    Finished saying, Mi Zhen smacked another dragon claw down.


    One claw, heaven and earth changed colors, and the winds and clouds surged!


    Ye Yuan felt the aura of the Door of Eternal Life from this claw!


    So strong!


    This level of existence, every action and movement secretly contained Heavenly Dao, as if Heavenly Dao itself had descended!


    Especially that they could actually muster the power of the Door of Eternal Life!


    Bang!


    Dragonsand was virtually scattered until this claw.


    Seeing this scene, Long Ran could not help doubting too.


    Could it be that he guessed wrongly?


    There was no problem with Progenitor Mi Zhen at all?


    Otherwise, how could he use such drastic measures, directly killing a great general under his command?


    Bang!


    It was another claw. Dragonsand��s physical body was virtually smacked into a pile of slush.


    Mi Zhen said coolly, ��Dragonsand, it ends here!��


    Dragonsand did not care about Mi Zhen, but he looked toward Ye Yuan instead and said fiercely, ��Brat, it��s all you! If not for you, this seat��s grand plan would definitely have been able to succeed! Even if I die today, this seat will make you accompany me in death too!��


    Swoosh!


    A terrifying aura instantly engulfed everything and swept over.


    Zhao Yue protected Ye Yuan, a hint of solemnness showing on his savage face.


    He felt Dragonsand��s might!


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s fine. With Progenitor around, he can��t jump around.��


    Mi Zhen gave Ye Yuan a glance and smacked a claw down once more.


    Boom!


    Dragonsand��s physical body immediately exploded to shreds.


    His dragon soul was also directly scattered.


    Everyone let out a long sigh in relief.


    ��I didn��t expect it. Such a terrifying guy was actually hiding among us!��


    ��Fortunately, he was discovered early. Otherwise, given time, Progenitor Mi Zhen probably couldn��t have done anything to him either.��


    ��It��s all thanks to Ye Yuan this kid. Otherwise, the consequences would have been too ghastly to contemplate.��


    �� ��


    At this time, some people could not help thanking Ye Yuan.


    With an ambitious schemer like Dragonsand around them, it was really too scary.


    Long Ran let out a long sigh in relief and was extremely remorseful in his heart.


    He felt that he should not have doubted Progenitor Mi Zhen.


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s all thanks to you this time! Mn? Where is he?��


    Long Ran was just about to thank Ye Yuan, but then he discovered that Ye Yuan was long gone already.


    Ten miles away, a figure flashed, imprisoning a drop of fresh blood in his hand.


    Above the void, Mi Zhen��s pupils constricted, looking at Ye Yuan in astonishment.


    While Ye Yuan grinned and looked at that drop of fresh blood in his hand as he said, ��How is it? Are you very surprised? I said that I��d make you pay the price. I wasn��t joking with you.��

 Chapter 3000 - Call Grandpa Three Times!

    ��Mn? What��s Ye Yuan doing?��


    ��What he��s holding in his hand seems to be Dragonsand��s blood, right?��


    ��Dragonsand is already completely dead. What is he holding his blood for? It can��t be that he can still revive, right?��


    �� ��


    With regards to Ye Yuan��s actions, everyone felt very perplexed.


    With Dragonsand dead, there was no idea how much blood in his body that was scattered all over the place.


    Yet, Ye Yuan ran so far away to get a drop of blood and even placed a restriction.


    How baffling!


    But Mi Zhen was extremely enraged in his heart.


    Just now, he put on a look of heartache and headache. It was merely just putting on a show, that was all.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Dragonsand was not dead at all!


    Of course, it was true that he killed Dragonsand.


    In front of so many Hegemons, it could not be faked as well.


    But in reality, Dragonsand was just seriously injured and did not completely die.


    His essence, energy, and spirit were all merged into a drop of fresh blood.


    He killed Dragonsand by blowing him up. There was blood everywhere. Nobody would pay attention to the direction that a single drop of blood essence had gone to.


    Dragonsand was a Supreme Hegemon. Furthermore, he was just a tiny bit away from Great Beyond Realm.


    This kind of subordinate, how could Mi Zhen possibly give him up so easily?


    Therefore, the two of them joined hands, carrying out this scheme that deceived everybody.


    Who knew that this blood essence was just about to escape when it was seized by Ye Yuan.


    The Hegemon Realms all over the sky did not even detect it. So how could he tell?


    Mi Zhen was going crazy!


    He had killing intent aroused and wanted to kill Ye Yuan very much.


    With his strength, killing Ye Yuan was merely a matter of a thought.


    Yet, he could not!


    Killing Ye Yuan at this time now was tantamount to telling everyone that he was the main culprit behind the scenes!


    Doing so would be equivalent to alienating himself from the dragon race.


    It was true that he was the dragon race��s progenitor. But wanting to actualize his ambitions, he needed the entire dragon race as the backing.


    He could not do it alone!


    Otherwise, with how the Chaos Bloodstone was extremely strong, there was completely no need to create a blood race to help him attack cities and seize fortresses.


    Ye Yuan had calculated this as well. That was why he would take action.


    Otherwise, he would rather let Dragonsand go.


    Ye Yuan was different from Long Ran. He never believed Mi Zhen from start to end.


    Therefore, he had always remained vigilant, especially after Mi Zhen ��killed�� Dragonsand.


    Then, Ye Yuan detected a trace of undulation.


    The undulation of blood origin!


    Dragonsand becoming strong naturally could not do without the blood race��s support.


    He remoulded his bloodline. It would definitely leave behind the aura of blood origin.


    Very unfortunately, Ye Yuan had a trace of the origin of chaos blood!


    And this trace of origin was even stronger than Mi Zhen!


    He grabbed Dragonsand like he was pinching onto Mi Zhen��s vital point.


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan returned in an instant. After consuming a grade seven heavenly pill, his injuries were already more than half-healed.


    ��Ye Yuan, what are you doing?�� Long Ran said with a frown.


    Ye Yuan played with that drop of blood essence in his hand and said with a smile, ��If I say that he��s Dragonsand, you all definitely won��t believe it.��


    Long Ran could not help laughing and said, ��Ye Yuan, you��re oversensitive! Progenitor��s arcane eyes are exceedingly formidable. How can Dragonsand possibly hide from him? This drop of blood is merely a drop of ordinary dragon blood. That��s all.��


    Yes, this drop of blood essence looked exactly identical to ordinary dragon blood.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mi Zhen with a smile, looking like he was taking credit for someone else��s achievements.


    Mi Zhen found it really unpleasant to the eye.


    However, got to admit, Dragonsand��s mental strength was very strong.


    Even until now, he was not willing to reveal a hint of flaw too!


    This drop of blood was calm like water.


    ��Ye Yuan, this progenitor is Great Beyond Realm. With Dragonsand��s bit of strength, he can��t hide from this progenitor! Just a drop of ordinary dragon blood. You��re thinking too much, Ye Yuan!�� Mi Zhen said reluctantly.


    He never suspected Ye Yuan because Ye Yuan��s level was too far from him.


    Of course, he admitted, Ye Yuan was very impressive.


    ��Kid, this seat knows that you like to be in the limelight. However, you��ve already shown off a lot too. This kind of method to talk big to impress people, don��t take it out. You are questioning my dragon race��s progenitor!�� Long Jian said in a solemn voice.


    ��Goodness gracious, what a severe crime! But I said before too. I��m a divergent cultivator! I even dare to question heaven, so let alone Progenitor? In this world, I only believe in myself!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    ��Impudent! A measly little Emperor Cloud Heaven actually dares to be so condescending!�� Long Jian said angrily.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile, ��It��s not that I��m condescending, but that you��re very silly and very naive. Don��t you forget how Dragonsand schemed against you all! A cunning rabbit has three nests. Do you think that he��ll really die so easily?��


    Long Jian smiled coldly and said, ��Just a drop of ordinary dragon blood, that��s all. You say that it��s Dragonsand and it��s Dragonsand?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then why don��t we play a game? If I prove that it��s Dragonsand, you call ��grandpa�� three times, alright? If I lose, I��ll kneel down to Progenitor and apologize, and I��ll destroy my Dao heart!��


    Long Jian��s expression turned somber, very surprised in his heart.


    This boy was actually betting his Dao heart. Could it be that there was really a problem?


    But even Progenitor clearly could not see through this thing!


    ��Why not!�� In the end, Long Jian still chose to trust Progenitor.


    He did not believe that Dragonsand could hide from Progenitor!


    It was just that he did not know that Dragonsand and Progenitor were in cahoots to begin with!


    He was destined to lose this bet.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said to Feng Qingxuan, ��Hey, lend your nirvanic rebirth fire! After roasting, we��ll know the truth.��


    Mi Zhen��s heart thumped. This brat had such vicious means!


    Nirvanic rebirth fire could burn all things in the world. It was one of the most powerful means of the phoenix race.


    Under the grilling of such blazing fire, Dragonsand would definitely reveal his true colors!


    Normally, Feng Qingxuan��s meager strength naturally could not do anything to him.


    But he was only left with a drop of blood essence now and was weak to the extreme.


    Otherwise, he would not have been directly grabbed by Ye Yuan too.


    Mn, this was all thanks to Mi Zhen.


    Mi Zhen regretted it to the extreme now. If he knew long ago, he would have gone easy just now.


    Leave Dragonsand with some vitality, and he could have escaped from Ye Yuan��s hands too.


    But, in order to make things authentic, he directly struck ruthlessly.


    Feng Qingxuan��s beautiful eyes stared, and she said with a cold snort, ��I��m not called ��hey��! Also, is this your attitude of asking people for help?��


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was about to turn around and directly ignore her, she hurriedly said, ��Hand it over! You��re really petty!��


    Boom!


    The terrifying nirvanic rebirth fire instantly ignited.


    Dragonsand��s endurance was indeed incomparably strong.


    Over 15 minutes passed, Dragonsand��s blood essence did not stir at all.


    Long Jian smiled coldly and said, ��Is that the Dragonsand that you��re talking about? Kid, one must be willing to lose if they bet. Kowtow to Progenitor and atone for your crime!��


    ��Enough, boy! It ends here! In this world, there��s nothing that can escape this progenitor��s arcane eyes!�� Mi Zhen finally could not hold back and spoke up.


    Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    Pah, pah, pah ��


    Crackling sounds emitted from the nirvanic rebirth fire.


    Amidst the flames, a hoarse yell came over, ��ARGHHHH! Little brat! Ye Yuan, this seat can��t coexist with you under the same sky! Proge ����


    Pah!


    A force fired out. The blood essence was directly blown up.


    Dragonsand��s remnant soul was directly obliterated by Ye Yuan!


    At the final juncture, he wanted to ask Mi Zhen for help, but Ye Yuan could not let him call out.


    Once Mi Zhen was exposed, the consequences would be too terrifying.


    Therefore, he killed Dragonsand right away!


    Then he looked at Long Jian and said with a smile, ��How about that? Want to concede defeat and call ��grandpa�� three times for me to hear?��

 Chapter 3001 - Eternal River!

    Before he had time to cry out in surprise, Long Jian��s face immediately pulled as long as a horse��s face.


    He, an exalted Supreme Hegemon, needed to call Ye Yuan as his grandpa?


    You��re freaking courting death!


    Dragonsand, I *&(%^)(*$!


    Although Dragonsand was already completely dead, Long Jian still cussed out his entire family cordially.


    ��Hahaha �� Senior Long Jian, just kidding with it. You don��t have this expression!�� Ye Yuan said with a loud laugh.


    I @#*&^%$*, couldn��t you say earlier?


    However, Long Jian let out a sigh of relief.


    This kid was considered sensible!


    ��Humph! Boy, consider it that you��ve rendered a contribution!�� Long Jian said in a solemn voice.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The others were long already stunned!


    Based on the fact that even Progenitor Mi Zhen could not see through, Ye Yuan could see through it.


    This kid was also too monstrous, right?


    In contrast, Ye Yuan immediately seemed to become big and tall.


    One had to know, Progenitor Mi Zhen was one of the top Hegemon powerhouses in the 33 Heavens!


    Even he could not tell how shocking Ye Yuan��s actions were?


    Ye Yuan killing Dragonsand also refreshed the three outlooks on life that East Billow Region��s geniuses had of Ye Yuan.


    This guy really had endless trump cards!


    However, they also secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    If Dragonsand escaped, the consequences would really be too dreadful to contemplate.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mi Zhen and said sarcastically, ��Progenitor, I didn��t expect that you��d have times where you make an error of judgment too.��


    How majestic was the enormous dragon soaring in the air?


    But at this time, the scene appeared to be a little awkward.


    ��Hur hur, well done! Kid, I didn��t expect that you still have quite the means.�� Mi Zhen had no choice but to force a laugh and even praised Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled modestly and said, ��Not at all. Progenitor is too kind. Ridding the dragon race of evil is what every clansman should do!��


    Mi Zhen had a myriad of profanities galloping across in his heart.


    His heart ached to the extreme. Dragonsand was a powerhouse who had a foot stepped into the Great Beyond Realm!


    He was gone with just a ��pa��!


    ��You��ve made a considerable contribution this time. What reward do you want?�� Mi Zhen grumbled.


    ��I want to enter the Eternal River!�� Ye Yuan said without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Eternal River? With your meager strength, entering the Eternal River is useless,�� Mi Zhen said somewhat surprisedly.


    ��Kid, you��d best be more well-behaved and to cultivate by following the standard routine. Don��t reach beyond your grasp!�� Long Jian also said in a solemn voice.


    Long Jian��s personality was level-headed. He always felt that Ye Yuan was too full of himself.


    This kind of personality was not conducive to cultivation.


    However, after experiencing Dragonsand��s matter, he also viewed Ye Yuan in a different light and felt very optimistic about him.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I just heard that the Eternal River is the source of the dragon race. I want to enter to see it. Perhaps, there might be unexpected gains?��


    All the Hegemon Realms had black lines on their heads. This guy really made people speechless!


    Eternal River meant the eternally flowing river.


    It was said that this river ran throughout all the heavens and worlds. It was the mother river of all worlds.


    Every heaven and myriad worlds all originated from the Eternal River.


    No one knew where the source of the river was.


    However, the 33 Heavens were all on the branches of the Eternal River.


    It was a river and also not a river.


    Like Mi Tian, Mi Zhen, Hegemon Samsara, and the rest of the chaos bodies, they were all born here.


    Somebody said that the source of the Eternal River was the Door of Eternal Life.


    The river water flowed out of the Door of Eternal Life, evolving into the heavens and myriad worlds.


    This version was very popular.


    However, no one knew what the truth was.


    This was because even those as strong as Mi Tian and Mi Zhen were unable to explore the source of the Eternal River too.


    The vast majority of Hegemon Realms would gain enlightenment in the Eternal River, seeking the Great Beyond.


    Why was Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven powerful?


    It was because it was at the uppermost location at the Eternal River. The aura of chaos was the richest.


    The first time one entered the Eternal River, the chaos aura in the Eternal River would give the cultivator endless benefits.


    Therefore, to origin realm powerhouses, this place was the best place to break through.


    Mi Zhen��s meaning was also this.


    Ye Yuan was just Emperor Cloud Heaven now. Entering the Emperor Cloud Heaven was too wasteful of the opportunity.


    But Ye Yuan said that he wanted to enter to see it. This way of doing things that was a wanton waste of God��s good gifts made people feel indignant.


    Ye Yuan was naturally not doing it to take a look. He was doing it for Mi Tian.


    If Mi Tian wanted to recover, he had to enter the Eternal River.


    However, to Ye Yuan, there was indeed not much meaning about whether or not to enter the Eternal River.


    He was a divergent cultivator. His Hegemon tribulation would definitely be terrifying to the extreme.


    It actually did not matter where he broke through.


    ��Alright, that��s up to you too. Long Jian, you make the arrangements. In addition, investigate Dragonsand��s matter to the bottom of it. Those who are involved with the blood race, punish them all with due severity!��


    ��Yes!�� Long Jian answered.


    Mi Zhen gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance and disappeared into the void.


    Everything returned to tranquility.


    But Ye Yuan sneered in his heart. His arrangements before he left seemed to be very harsh, but actually, it was equivalent to farting.


    Dragonsand did things so cautiously. How could it be found so easily?


    Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to have controlled Blood Dragon Island for as long as 100 thousand years under their eyelids.


    But the dragon race was completely clueless.


    Of course, this clearly had a lot to do with Mi Zhen.


    As for Dragonsand��s remnant gang, how they investigated, who they investigated, this was all hard to say.


    Could it be that they would make these Hegemon Realms go through an investigation?


    Only Mi Zhen, this progenitor, had this authority.


    Although Long Jian was a Supreme Hegemon, he could not hold down the fort yet.


    But Mi Zhen himself directly ran. It was equivalent to saying that this matter had ended here.


    After this sudden turn of events, under Long Jian��s arrangements, East Billow Region��s geniuses settled down on Heavenly Dragon Island.


    Except, these geniuses had too much blood essence being extracted and long already had their martial path cut off.


    In order to appease these people, Long Jian arranged for them to enter the Eternal River together with Ye Yuan.


    As for whether or not they could break through their own shackles, that would depend on their own fortunes.


    In the dead of night, Ye Yuan finally sensed Mi Tian again.


    ��Senior, nice skill!�� Ye Yuan exclaimed.


    Several hundred thousand years had passed, and Mi Zhen��s current strength was long already unfathomable.


    But he actually did not see through Mi Tian. It could be seen that Mi Tian was also not a simple person.


    ��Heh, after so many years, this old man wasn��t eking out a miserable existence either,�� Mi Tian said with a cold laugh.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What does Senior think?��


    Mi Tian said, ��You brat, do you still need to ask me? Hasn��t everything in the dragon race been seen through by you already?��


    Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion, ��Heh heh, so what if I��ve seen through it? I��m just an Emperor Cloud Heaven after all. Great Beyond Realm is �� too strong!��


    Today, having witnessed Mi Zhen��s strength, Ye Yuan felt it deeply.


    Great Beyond Realm was Hegemon Realm too, but their strength was too strong!


    In front of Great Beyond Realm, Ye Yuan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Kid, it��s been hard on you on this journey. Leave the rest to this old man! We��re already here. If I still have to rely on you, then I, this Great Beyond powerhouse, would also be too incompetent!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, the blood race hid very deeply! This matter is probably not that simple. The Chaos Bloodstone has a clone in every world. This world��s clone has been scheming for hundreds of thousands of years. Its strength is probably unfathomable!��


    Mi Tian shook his head and said, ��It��s not so easy! Unless he can get chaos grade bloodline, it��s just a small-scale squabble. Let��s talk about everything again after entering the Eternal River!��

 Chapter 3002 - What He Comprehended, Isnt Right!

    ��What a boundless aura! This is the Eternal River. How beautiful.��


    ��It feels like if I jump into the river, I��ll be able to reach the Great Beyond!��


    ��Maybe my Martial Dao can recover in the Eternal River!��


    �� ��


    Amidst the endless void, a large river cascaded down, magnificent and grandiose.


    The river water ran a long course from a remote source as if it was endless.


    It was like a fountain, nourishing every heaven and myriad worlds.


    The strongest feeling that the Eternal River gave to people was unfathomable!


    Ye Yuan could even feel the Eternal River branches flowing into Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, supporting this world forever without extinguishing.


    However, this boundless aura was different from anywhere in the 33 Heavens.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    It had no attributes!


    No origins, no rules, no wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and also no light nor darkness.


    But it was extremely powerful!


    It was even more powerful than Great Beyond Realm.


    This kind of feeling was not something that one could explain clearly and make people understand.


    ��Kid, there��s only one chance. You��re sure that you want to enter the Eternal River?�� Long Jian confirmed again.


    Ye Yuan grinned and leaped, jumping into the Eternal River.


    Long Jian nearly fainted in anger.


    This boy was hopeless!


    ��Humph! Not listening to the advice of the elderly, suffering is right ahead! This fool, let him go and regret it!�� Long Jian said crossly.


    ��Haha, this brat is young and aggressive, don��t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Many geniuses are like him, being too impatient to wait to enter the Eternal River, thinking that they can be remolded anew. But in the end, each and every one regretted it very much!��


    ��The path of cultivation still needs to be advancing gradually and entrenching yourself at every step. This kid will regret it!��


    ��As an Emperor Cloud Heaven, he hasn��t even broken one seal on the Door of Eternal Life. He can��t feel the vastness of the Emperor Cloud Heaven at all! I reckon that he probably can��t even break through a minor realm.��


    �� ��


    Regarding Ye Yuan��s action, many Hegemons were waiting to watch the joke.


    The vastness of the Eternal River was not what everyone could feel.


    Only by opening the Door of Eternal Life��s seal could one experience it more clearly.


    But Ye Yuan had not even opened one seal, and he already had delusions of grandeur about having some amazing performance. Was it possible?


    ��Alright, you all enter the Eternal River too! Remember, no matter how much you can comprehend, you all can��t enter the main stream! Otherwise, nobody can save you! Furthermore, even in the branch stream, the area that you all can move around in is limited too. If there��s no effect, come onto land in time,�� Long Jian warned.


    Everyone��s expressions were slightly somber, saying one after another yes.


    Several thousand people all jumped into the Eternal River��s branch stream.


    ��Long Ran, don��t harbor too much hope. Of these several thousand, if there can be 200 people who can get back their path of martial arts, we have to express thanks to heaven and earth already. For the others, the outcome is already fated to be,�� Long Jian said.


    Long Ran nodded and said, ��I know! But this is the only hope for them!��


    Long Jian said, ��Ye Yuan this boy has quite the means, but his ambition is too great. Too tough, and it��s easily broken. In my view, his future path of Martial Dao might not be very high.��


    Long Ran smiled and said, ��Is that so? But I feel that this boy has a bright future!��


    Long Ran could not help laughing as he said, ��Long Ran, how many geniuses have you and I seen before? Some people are even more breathtaking than Ye Yuan! But, in the entire dragon race, there are merely a scanty few dozen people who reached Hegemon Realm in the end!��


    Long Ran smiled and did not speak. He naturally had his view.


    How could someone that Progenitor Mi Tian thinks highly of possibly fade into the crowd?


    �� ��


    ��Ye Yuan, wasting the golden opportunity for you to enter the Eternal River for my sake, I��m really sorry,�� Mi Tian said with a sigh.


    As a Great Beyond Realm powerhouse, Mi Tian naturally knew how important the chance to enter the Eternal River was.


    But Ye Yuan wasted it without the slightest hesitation for him. He was moved in his heart but very ashamed and guilty.


    In the Eternal River branch stream, Ye Yuan felt that every pore on his body had opened up.


    ��Senior, did Hegemon Chaos comprehend the Wordless Heavenly Skill in the Eternal River?�� Ye Yuan did not answer Mi Tian but asked a question instead.


    Mi Tian was taken aback and said with a nod, ��That��s right! This old man wasn��t an amazingly talented person before, but when he broke through to Hegemon Realm, he entered the Eternal River and had a grand awakening, comprehending the Wordless Heavenly Skill. That was how he corroborated his Dao to become a Supreme Hegemon. Why did you suddenly ask about this?��


    Ye Yuan looked at this endless Eternal River and was somewhat spellbound as he said, ��I think I comprehended.��


    Mi Tian was taken aback and said, ��Comprehended? Haven��t you long comprehended the Wordless Heavenly Skill?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��What he comprehended wasn��t correct!��


    Mi Tian was speechless.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Chaos flows out of the Eternal River, developing myriad Dao. Hegemon Chaos is tracing the origin, imitating Chaos Heavenly Dao with his own cultivation, deriving all life. Little did he imagine that if he��s unable to reach the Great Beyond, he wouldn��t be able to truly trace it to the source. Without the source, where lies chaos? His path doesn��t work!��


    What kind of realm was Mi Tian at? With this bit from Ye Yuan, he understood.


    Hegemon Chaos�� strength was exceedingly formidable. He was only half a step away from Great Beyond too.


    But this half a step was as difficult as ascending to heaven.


    Only now did Mi Tian know that it was not that Hegemon Chaos was lacking in talent. But it was that his path was wrong to begin with!


    His cultivation method could only sustain him to cultivate until below Great Beyond but was unable to let him ascend to the summit.


    ��Then isn��t your cultivation path all wrong?�� Mi Tian said in surprise.


    Ye Yuan said, ��It��s wrong, but also not wrong!��


    Mi Tian frowned and said, ��How do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��His path is the opposite! Under Heavenly Dao, all lives are akin to ants! Since you��re an ant, how do you transform Dao into one, and give birth to all life? You think that you��re standing sufficiently high, but actually, you��re merely a frog at the bottom of a well! Just what lies at the Door of Eternal Life��s end, nobody knows as well. You all, these existences born from chaos, might have a glimmer of hope. But it��s definitely impossible for him. Chaos is too high. It��s not what he can connect to! But, by acting in a diametrically opposite way, gaining enlightenment on myriad Great Dao, comprehending the numerous ways of life, combining Dao into one, one might be able to corroborate Great Dao!��


    Mi Tian��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��Doesn��t that mean that Samsara, that old thing��s path, is correct?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��The path of samsara, comprehending the numerous ways of life, feeling the samsara of the world. Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique, deriving myriad Dao, tracing back to the source. Cloud Dream Soul Physique, dreaming for 3000 years, gaining enlightenment on longevity in one day. These paths might all be correct, or �� they are all wrong. But all roads lead to Rome; the direction is correct!��


    1


    Mi Tian understood.


    No matter what method you used to break open the Door of Eternal Life, the final result was all the same.


    Only by comprehending all life and myriad Dao, combining the two into one, could one corroborate their Dao!


    Hegemon Samsara, walking a path all the way without turning back.


    But he trod out his own Dao and comprehended all life and myriad Dao with the Dao of Samsara!


    With Myriad Dao combining into one, his strength was strong to the extreme!


    Very clearly, Hegemon Samsara had long comprehended, so his strength was unfathomable.


    Hearing Ye Yuan��s words, Mi Tian felt like he was suddenly enlightened.


    ��Then what are you planning to do?�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan did not answer. It was only to see countless light dots emitting from his body, like the stars in the night sky, following the Eternal River��s water as it rushed down in a torrent!


    Mi Tian��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��Divine sense transforming into myriad!��

 Chapter 3003 - Reversing Cultivation method!

    ��What is this kid doing? He �� He broke down his Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique and divine sense transformed into myriad? Is he crazy?�� Long Jian exclaimed.


    But by the side, Long Ran smiled and said, ��You��re the crazy one! This kid had a grand awakening the moment he saw chaos! There are millions of origin seeds in his Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique. He��s going to have his divine sense transformed into myriad, each portion comprehending origin! When he reaches grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven, myriad origins returning to one, he might be able to break through the law of countless tens of thousands of years, becoming the first divergent cultivator Hegemon!��


    When Long Jian heard, he could not help being dumbfounded.


    Only then did he remember that Ye Yuan was a divergent cultivator!


    Since time immemorial, nobody had ever stepped into the realm of Hegemon as a divergent cultivator.


    Without carrying out an extraordinary method, how could one do something extraordinary?


    Long Jian was unconvinced and said, ��Doing so, he��ll definitely suffer a great loss in strength! Forget about Hegemon Realm. Even if it��s Emperor Vast Heaven, he probably can��t reach it too!��


    But Long Ran was indifferent and said, ��Since this boy dares to do so, he must be prepared. You just watch.��


    This divine sense transformed into myriad was different from Ye Yuan cutting his soul into two back then.


    Divine sense transforming into myriad, this was thoroughly stripping away his human soul clone, forming myriad of clones.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The loss to the origin divinity was irreversible.


    Sure enough, after Ye Yuan��s divine sense transformed into myriad, his entire person seemed to be drained, directly dropping two major realms, and was only Saint Sovereign Heaven.


    But, in the next second, something even more shocking happened.


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    Long Jian��s eyeballs almost popped out, and he exclaimed, ��What the hell is this kid doing? He �� He��s actually going to disperse his cultivation?��


    With this, Long Ran was shocked too, was this abandoning himself to despair?


    Putting aside crippling his human soul clone, he even took the initiative to disperse his cultivation?


    Carry on dispersing like this, wouldn��t he directly drop to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum?


    ��This kid can really make a mess! Putting aside that he turned Blood Dragon Island upside down, he even dared to rebut Progenitor Mi Tian. Now, this guy just entered the Eternal River, and he turned the atmosphere foul everywhere! You look at the others. They don��t have the mood to gain enlightenment on Dao anymore. They are all looking at him,�� Long Jian said speechlessly.


    With Ye Yuan causing such a big commotion, how could those geniuses who jumped into the Eternal River still be in the mood to cultivate?


    Even those Hegemon Realm powerhouses who were prepared to gain enlightenment on Dao were all not in a hurry to go down anymore as well.


    No matter who came to the Eternal River, the first thing was definitely to borrow the Eternal River��s power of chaos, to break through their own shackles.


    But Ye Yuan was good, directly severing his own origin divinity in half, and immediately dispersed his cultivation afterward.


    Freaking hell, how impressive!


    ��What is this kid doing? His divine sense transforming into myriad, I can still understand that. But what��s the meaning of dispersing his cultivation?��


    ��Carry on dispersing like this, he��ll become a good-for-nothing!��


    ��Cultivation realm retrograding in the Eternal River, Ye Yuan is probably the first person through the ages!��


    ��Heh, this kid is completely courting death! Origin divinity is greatly damaged, and he��s still dispersing his cultivation. He wouldn��t think that he can still cultivate it back, right?��


    ��Trying to impress people by doing something sensational? Does he think that it��s very awesome like this?��


    �� ��


    Many Hegemon Realms turned their noses up at Ye Yuan��s way of doing things.


    How high were their horizons?


    Ye Yuan was equivalent to piling injuries on top of injuries like this. It would cause irreversible damage to his cultivation realm.


    He had basically cut off his own path of martial arts.


    But Ye Yuan could not hear the outside world��s discussions a long time ago.


    He had already entered a realm of forgetting everything and himself. His thoughts were running at an extreme speed.


    A brand new cultivation method was constructed in his mind.


    Scattering cultivation was in order to cultivate anew and also in order to create a cultivation method!


    The Wordless Heavenly Skill was indeed a powerful to the extreme cultivation method in the 33 Heavens.


    But, after Ye Yuan��s grand awakening, it was clearly not suitable anymore.


    This path was clearly a dead end. If he still continued walking, that would be moronic.


    When he just entered Heavenly Stratum, Ye Yuan��s horizons were too shallow. The Wordless Heavenly Skill was no different from a heavenly book to him.


    But now, he had seen before God knows how many Hegemon Realms, and he had almost lost himself once in the origin sea too.


    His current horizons were naturally different.


    Entering the Eternal River and feeling the authenticity of chaos, Ye Yuan instantly understood it.


    The Wordless Heavenly Skill was very powerful. Ye Yuan could not deny this.


    It was also precisely because the Wordless Heavenly Skill was powerful that Ye Yuan could take many less detours.


    Such as now, taking the initiative to scatter his cultivation, he was actually reversing his cultivation method.


    Since Hegemon Chaos�� path was going the reverse way, then he would just inverse it!


    But Ye Yuan also added his own comprehension in the middle of this, perfecting this new cultivation method and making his future path go further.


    In merely one month plus, Ye Yuan fell to Jade Sovereign Heaven Realm.


    The greater part of a month passed again. Ye Yuan directly fell to Sovereign Realm.


    Half a year later, Ye Yuan no longer had a trace of divine essence undulation on his body, his cultivation realm directly returning to when he just entered Heavenly Stratum.


    Three years later, people had already given up on Ye Yuan.


    He was already destined to become trash.


    ��Hahaha �� I regained my martial arts path! I �� I��m finally not a good-for-nothing anymore! Sniff sniff ���� An East Billow Region genius was crying with joy.


    ��I found it too! I found it too! Ten thousand years! I didn��t expect that I could cultivate again!��


    ��I broke through! Your Father had a nirvanic rebirth. This time, nobody can stop my Hegemonic path!��


    �� ��


    In the East Billow, one East Billow Region genius after another were inexplicably excited.


    Nothing was more stirring than finding your path of Martial Dao again.


    ��We can regain a new lease of life all because of Brother Ye! How is he now? This ����


    People remembered Ye Yuan and could not resist searching for Ye Yuan��s figure in the Eternal River.


    The moment they saw him, they stopped talking.


    Ye Yuan was currently exactly like an ordinary person.


    ��How can this be? Brother Ye he �� is completely crippled?��


    ��It doesn��t make sense. Why did he cripple his own cultivation?��


    ��Could it be that Brother Ye has some plan?��


    ��To cultivate from the beginning, who has such great willpower? Furthermore, dispersing cultivation causes tremendous deterioration to one��s Dao foundation. It��s virtually severing his road ahead. What plans can he have?��


    �� ��


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s ��miserable�� appearance, their hearts ached to the extreme, all lamenting for Ye Yuan.


    They radiated with vitality anew, but Ye Yuan had thoroughly become a cripple.


    This situation was not what they were willing to see.


    Long Jian nodded his head in approval and said, ��The effect is better than I imagined. There are actually over 500 people who found their path of Martial Dao again! Looks like there are really quite a few fine saplings in this batch! After grooming, there might really be those who can achieve Hegemon Realm.��


    Originally, Long Jian they all estimated that it would be pretty good if there could be 200 people who regained their path of martial arts.


    Now, there were actually more than 500 of them, being more than double of what he estimated. Furthermore, the numbers were still growing continuously. This made Long Jian overjoyed.


    Long Ran snorted coldly and said, ��These remaining ones are all geniuses from recent years. In 100 thousand years, how many amazingly talented individuals? Dragonsand and Dragonwild, they all were forfeiting our dragon race��s foundation!��


    Long Jian nodded and said, ��You��re right! However, it��s somewhat regrettable about Ye Yuan this kid, sigh ����

 Chapter 3004 - Chaos Heaven Trampling Skill!

    Although Ye Yuan had once made a fool out of him, Ye Yuan��s talent and conduct still brought Long Jian into submission.


    Therefore, he still felt very optimistic about Ye Yuan.


    But he did not expect that Ye Yuan actually ruined his own future in the Eternal River. This made him sigh endlessly.


    ��Sigh, already completely crippled! I really don��t know how he was triggered to do this, to actually scatter his cultivation!��Long Ran also had a look of anger from his failure to live up to expectations.


    ��Origin divinity greatly damaged; Dao foundation crumbled. This boy is already hopeless! Even if he can recultivate anew, he should already thank his lucky stars to be able to cultivate to Sovereign Realm.��


    Long Jian shook his head and directly gave Ye Yuan the death penalty.


    Origin divinity greatly damaged was not a big deal to them.


    But Dao foundation collapsing was something that nobody could save.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan, who was in the Eternal River, slowly opened his eyes.


    Boom!


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    Suddenly, an astonishing aura erupted in the Eternal River.


    A vortex actually appeared in the Eternal River.


    This whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and increasingly stronger.


    ��Mn? What happened? Why would the Eternal River��s branch stream become so berserk? This is something that has never happened before!�� Long Jian said in shock.


    The greatest characteristic of the river of chaos was that it was quiet.


    This was a river flow that never rested and also an incomparably quiet river flow.


    But at this time, the silent chaos actually became extremely berserk.


    ��My goodness, I can��t comprehend anymore!��


    ��What happened? Isn��t this wanting people��s lives?��


    ��The power of chaos is already completely in havoc. How will people still cultivate?��


    ��Which bastard is it? Come out! Your Father won��t hack you to death!��


    �� ��


    Those geniuses were all enraged to the extreme.


    Three years of comprehension, the vast majority of the people present had actually already reached the bottleneck.


    But the chance to enter the Eternal River for the first time was something that only happened once in a lifetime.


    Even if it was a minute, a second, it was very precious to them.


    Therefore, many people could not resist letting loose a torrent of abuse.


    And at this time, the vortex became bigger and bigger.


    Long Jian��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock, ��It��s Ye Yuan! What is this boy �� going to do again? I-Is he absorbing the Eternal River��s water? Is he crazy?��


    Everyone entering the Eternal River was to feel that boundless and everlasting aura of the Eternal River in order to gain insights.


    The power of chaos in the Eternal River was the most fundamental power in the world; of course it could be absorbed.


    But it could not be refined at all!


    It was a form of energy too, but it was a kind of very ��blunt�� energy. It could not be converted to divine essence at all.


    Someone tried it before. He was even a Hegemon Realm powerhouse.


    In the end, he died.


    Stuffed to death!


    The power of chaos entering the body completely blocked up the meridians within the body, and he died with divine essence completely exploding within the body.


    Putting it bluntly, this thing could not be utilized by people.


    Only when the power of chaos flowed into the heavens and myriad worlds, and a portion of the power of chaos converted into heaven and earth spiritual energy could it then be absorbed.


    Now, Ye Yuan actually wanted to absorb this thing!


    ��This boy �� really courts death limitlessly! It��s not enough that he played until he crippled himself. Is he going to thoroughly play himself until he dies?�� Long Ran was already speechless.


    As a Hegemon, having lived for several hundred thousand years, he felt that he had already seen and experienced a lot.


    He had seen before too many geniuses.


    But he had really never seen before a guy who sought death like this!


    Long Jian was suddenly enlightened and said, ��I understand! Is it possible that this kid saw the boundless power of chaos in the Eternal River, so he was suddenly hit with inspiration and started scattering his cultivation to absorb this thing? Does he think that by absorbing this power of chaos, he��s still able to cultivate back? How foolish is this boy?��


    In the Eternal River, Ye Yuan started absorbing the power of chaos.


    He had long detected that this power of chaos was higher level than heaven and earth spiritual energy!


    However, this power of chaos was very dull and could not be absorbed at all.


    And in these three years, he had been using the Wordless Heavenly Skill to mutually corroborate with the power of chaos all this while. He already created a cultivation method that belonged to him!


    What the Wordless Heavenly Skill cultivated was the power of chaos. What was cultivated was also chaos divine essence.


    Except, the power of chaos that it cultivated did not jump out of the scope of heaven and earth essence energy.


    All the way until Ye Yuan saw the Eternal River did he truly understand what was called chaos!


    Cultivation method operating, the power of chaos entered his meridians.


    That turbid power appeared incomparably sluggish, unable to revolve at all.


    But Ye Yuan had the Dao sword!


    The quintessence of Ye Yuan��s new cultivation method was his Dao sword!


    The Dao sword was Ye Yuan��s sword to defy the heavens. In a certain sense, he had transcended the scope of Heavenly Dao and was not tolerated by Heavenly Dao.


    Therefore, using it to harness the power of chaos was the most appropriate.


    When the power of chaos entered the Dao sword, Ye Yuan revolved his cultivation method.


    Not long after, an archaic and thick divine essence flowed out of the Dao sword and entered Ye Yuan��s four limbs and bones.


    Ye Yuan could feel that this chaos divine essence was several times stronger than his previous chaos divine essence!


    However, this power of chaos was indeed too strong. Ye Yuan��s Dao sword realm was not high. The conversion rate was very limited.


    Large quantities of chaos power entered the meridians, but what was converted into chaos divine essence in the end was very little.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan needed large amounts of chaos power!


    This was also why the Eternal River suddenly became violent.


    However, Ye Yuan had the foundation of Emperor Cloud Heaven after all. Coupled with his powerful new cultivation method, recultivating to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum was not a big deal.


    Two hours later, Ye Yuan broke through to Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum anew!


    Long Jian was shocked!


    ��This �� How is this possible? He can actually absorb the power of chaos in the Eternal River? Furthermore, he broke through? Hasn��t his Dao foundation collapsed already? Why is it so easy to cultivate?��


    Long Jian felt like his worldview was being subverted.


    He felt that as a Supreme Hegemon, there were really not many things that he did not understand in this world anymore.


    But now, he discovered that Ye Yuan this fellow was really an enigmatic existence.


    His every action and movement, he could not even see through it.


    From start to end, he had been mocking Ye Yuan for being naive and ignorant.


    But now, Ye Yuan actually really started absorbing the power of chaos, and he even started cultivating.


    Reality was blatantly face-slapping!


    All these had transcended the scope of his understanding.


    Long Ran was also surprised and said, ��Hang on! His cultivation method is different from before! It seems �� diametrically opposite! Could it be that he created a new cultivation method? Furthermore, this cultivation method can absorb the power of chaos in the Eternal River?��


    Thinking up to here, Long Ran could not help drawing a cold breath.


    This kind of thing, forget about them; even if it was Great Beyond Realm powerhouses, it was simply impossible to accomplish too.


    If they could absorb the power of chaos here, they would have long absorbed it. Could they still have waited until now?


    But, Ye Yuan, this ��good-for-nothing,�� did it!


    ��Kid, you��re really remarkable! This cultivation method sets the world on fire! I��m somewhat looking forward to your future now! Kid, have you thought of how to name this cultivation method?�� Mi Tian said excitedly.


    He witnessed the birth of this cultivation method with his own eyes. When Ye Yuan absorbed the first wisp of chaos divine essence, he was dumbstruck with amazement.


    Only then did he learn that it turns out that the power of chaos could be absorbed and refined!


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��I��m a divergent cultivator, destined to fight with heaven in the future! Since that��s the case, I��ll call it Chaos Heaven Trampling Skill!��

 Chapter 3005 - Such a Big Disturbance?

    ��Fine lad, you��re really gutsy! You��re going to trample heaven underfoot!�� When Mi Tian heard those words, he could not help drawing a cold breath.


    Heavenly Dao was boundless. The more he reached such a realm, the more he could feel the fathomlessness of Heavenly Dao.


    Putting aside other things, just this Eternal River was an existence that they could not cross.


    What they pursued was merely just passing through the Door of Eternal Life and transcending to the Great Beyond. That was all.


    But even if they really transcended, they also did not dare say to trample Heavenly Dao underfoot!


    But Ye Yuan dared!


    ��Heaven wants to eradicate me. So why can��t I trample the heaven? Being alive in this world, it��s to ask to be quick to settle grudges and favor. Heavenly Dao has a spirit, and I��ll trample him underfoot. Heavenly Dao is boundless; then I��ll control him in my hands!�� Ye Yuan was filled with lofty sentiments as he said.


    Mi Tian could not help smiling bitterly as he said, ��I hope that when you reach my realm, you still dare to say such things.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior doesn��t know my road to rise. So you don��t know what I think in my heart. No matter what kind of realm I reach, this is the Dao in my heart, and it won��t change!��


    The people discussed the cultivation method, but a great storm had already arisen in the outside world.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.COM


    The Eternal River whirlpool grew bigger and bigger and already affected Hegemon Realms.


    The cultivations of many Hegemon Realms were interrupted by these tumultuous Eternal River waters.


    A dragon race Hegemon flew into a thunderous rage as he said, ��Motherf*cker! Which tortoise��s grandson actually dares to cause trouble in the Eternal River? This seat will exterminate you!��


    Another Hegemon cried out in surprise, ��Mn? It��s that boy Ye Yuan! Hasn��t he become a cripple? How did such a big disturbance come about? Eh, he �� he��s absorbing the power of chaos to cultivate!��


    ��He scattered his cultivation in order to absorb the power of chaos here? Freaking hell, is this boy crazy?��


    ��The power of chaos here can��t be absorbed at all. He��s courting death!��


    ��Your Father just had a bit of comprehension, and it was all ruined by this punk! Your Father is telling you, if not for that this kid rendered a great contribution, Your Father would directly pinch him to death!��


    �� ��


    Beyond the shock, the Hegemon powerhouses were extremely furious.


    You messed around yourself and even did not let Your Father cultivate. This was called occupying the latrine and not taking a dump!


    However, Ye Yuan was not stuffed until he exploded. His realm was still getting higher and higher.


    Lower Lesser Sublime Heaven to middle Lesser Sublime Heaven, then to upper Lesser Sublime Heaven, Ye Yuan��s aura grew stronger and stronger!


    Along with it, the chaos vortex grew larger and larger.


    Looking from the sky, it was like a nebula, being extremely beautiful.


    Of course, the turmoil of the Eternal River branch stream also grew increasingly fiercer.


    The dragon race Hegemons were no longer able to cultivate.


    On the other hand, along with the passage of time, the power of chaos also gradually flowed into Mi Tian��s dragon heart.


    This chaos true dragon started resurrecting!


    He was born in the Eternal River. This place was like his mother river.


    Everything seemed to like returning to his mother��s womb.


    The dragon heart started to draw nutrients.


    Half a year later, Ye Yuan reached grand completion Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum and broke through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum in one stroke.


    Boom!


    The water of the Eternal River became even more violent and already affected the other few branch streams of Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven.


    At the White Tiger Clan, more than ten Hegemon Realm powerhouses were currently comprehending Dao in their Eternal River branch stream.


    Suddenly, a roar rose to the sky.


    ��I #^%$@^#! Just a bit more and Your Father is about to gain enlightenment on Dao. How is this person so fucking wicked? It��s the dragon race! Long Jian, the few of you tortoise grandsons, do you really think that your Grandpa Tiger is scared of you guys?��


    Swoosh!


    This Supreme Hegemon headed toward the dragon race with a cry.


    Vermilion Bird Clan, Fire Phoenix, Yuan Chu, Qing Luan, and the rest of the branch clan Hegemons were all furious.


    ��Humph! What��s the dragon race doing? The entire Eternal River is turned completely upside down! Sisters, let��s go together and get an explanation!��


    Under the suggestion of the Qing Luan Clan��s Supreme Hegemon, more than ten Hegemon Realm powerhouses headed toward the dragon race.


    The Black Tortoise Clan��s old tortoises were a little simple-minded, but at this time, they flew into a thunderous rage too. Many Hegemons headed for the dragon race.


    Apart from them, some of the other true spirit Hegemons also came to the dragon race one after another.


    The entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven was completely in chaos.


    ��Lord Long Jian, things are bad! The White Tiger Clan��s Hegemon Bai Zhi has brought more than ten tiger race Hegemons to come and denounce publicly for crimes!�� Long Min entered the Eternal River��s void in a panic and reported.


    Long Jian said coolly, ��Panicking for what? Let them wait. A mere White Tiger Clan, can they still overturn the heavens?��


    The dragon race��s might was not said for fun!


    They had the most Hegemons and were the strongest!


    More than ten Hegemons denouncing publicly for crimes, if it were anywhere else, it would absolutely be a heaven-shocking major event.


    But in the dragon race, it was no big deal.


    Long Jian was most interested in Ye Yuan now. He really wanted to see just how far Ye Yuan could go.


    This guy would not really cultivate his cultivation realm back, right?


    If he could really do it, that would be really incredible!


    Everyone knew that the Eternal River��s power of chaos was good stuff, but they were unable to make use of it!


    Long Jian also really wanted to know how strong Ye Yuan was.


    Hence, the dragon race really left the White Tiger Clan there to be ignored.


    A few more days passed. Long Min ran in panic again, and he said while sweating profusely, ��Lord Long Jian, things are really bad this time! The White Tiger Clan hasn��t left yet; the Vermilion Bird Clan��s Luan Qinghe and the Black Tortoise Clan��s Xuan Taiqing have led more than 20 Hegemon Realms, and they all came!��


    Long Jian gave Long Min a glance in surprise and said, ��Such a big disturbance?��


    Long Min smiled bitterly and said, ��Too big! This boy cultivating in the Eternal River branch stream has already swept throughout the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven! Currently, the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven is in havoc, not just the Hegemon Realms. With Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven falling into disarray, it��s virtually going to be utter havoc!��


    Long Jian swallowed his saliva and could not resist glancing at Ye Yuan, and said crossly, ��This brat can really cause trouble! He just broke through to Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum. If he were to cultivate to Emperor Cloud Heaven, wouldn��t all the heavens and myriad worlds be in complete havoc?��


    The Eternal River was the source of all worlds. When the Eternal River was in upheaval, all the worlds would naturally have all kinds of phenomena happen.


    Yet, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven had a lot of Hegemon Realms. Three great clans were joining hands and coming forth. Long Jian felt tremendous pressure too!


    ��Go, this seat will go out and take a look! With Progenitor Mi Zhen holding down the fort, I reckon that they wouldn��t dare be unbridled too! Humph!�� Long Jian was still proud.


    The dragon race��s greatest reliance was that they were a Great Beyond Realm powerhouse.


    With Progenitor around, what was there to be scared of?


    As soon as Long Jian showed himself, Hegemon Bai Zhi blew his top.


    He had waited here for seven to eight days already and did not even see Long Jian��s face. How could he not be furious?


    But the dragon race had great power and influence. He really could not do anything about it.


    However, Luan Qinghe and Xuan Taiqing were here too. He became filled with confidence at once.


    ��Long Jian, what��s the meaning of this! What the hell is your dragon race doing? It��s throwing the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven into a tizzy! If you don��t give an explanation today, this seat will demolish your dragon clan!�� Bai Zhi said.


    Long Jian said coolly, ��Bai Zhi, don��t talk rubbish with this seat! If you have the ability, try to do it for me to see!��


    ��You!�� Bai Zhi could not help choking.


    Let him demolish; he really did not dare.


    ��Brother Long Jian, you��re in the wrong here! Although your dragon clan is the leader of Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, now, it��s making people be in chaos. Our Vermilion Bird Clan won��t sit by idly and remain indifferent too!�� Luan Qinghe said coolly.


    ��Our Xuanwu Clan wants an explanation too!�� Xuan Taiqing said coolly.

 Chapter 3006 - Lord Long Jian, They Are Here!

    ��No explanation. A brat is breaking through in the Eternal River. It��s that simple,�� Long Jian said coolly.


    ��Breaking through? Long Jian, are you taking all of us to be fools? In these countless years, those who broke through in the Eternal River were numerous, but it��s unheard of that anyone could cause the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven to be in an upheaval!�� Bai Zhi clearly did not believe it.


    Long Jian shrugged and said with a smile, ��You don��t believe me? If you all don��t believe me, follow me to the Eternal River, and you��ll understand.��


    Carrying doubtful feelings, Bai Zhi and the rest entered the Eternal River��s void.


    Immediately, the expressions on all the Hegemons�� faces became blank.


    Really breaking through!


    Bai Zhi��s pupils constricted and he drew a breath of cold air as he exclaimed, ��Is �� Is he absorbing the power of chaos? How is this possible?��


    Long Jian said helplessly, ��When this boy entered the Eternal River, he suddenly gained enlightenment. Then, it became like this. This seat is very helpless too!��


    Luan Qinghe said in surprise, ��Just Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum? It looks like �� he seems to have scattered his cultivation. Is he re-cultivating anew?��


    ��In this case, the person who turned the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven upside down is actually someone at the Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum?�� Xuan Taiqing said speechlessly.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Long Jian nodded his head.


    Those who saw Ye Yuan were all extremely shocked.


    Because everything before their eyes had already subverted everyone��s understanding.


    But, after being shocked, Bai Zhi��s brows furrowed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Long Jian, isn��t he being too tyrannical by cultivating like this? If he cultivates for ten thousand years here, wouldn��t we be unable to cultivate for ten thousand years?��


    ��This �� It shouldn��t be, right?�� Long Jian said awkwardly.


    ��What do you mean by that! Do you mean that the few dozen of us Hegemon Realms have to cultivate based on this boy��s mood?�� Bai Zhi said unhappily.


    Long Jian naturally knew that this was inappropriate, but Ye Yuan was currently mustering up a vigorous effort to do it in one go and could not be interrupted.


    He spread his two hands out and said, ��Then, what do you think should be done?��


    Bai Zhi said in a cold voice, ��Make this kid stop!��


    ��That��s impossible!�� Long Jian directly rejected it.


    Bai Zhi frowned and said, ��Long Jian, I know that your dragon race is very strong, but could it be that our three clans�� Hegemons added up can��t compare to a Greater Sublime Heavenly Stratum brat? If we really fall out, could it be that your dragon clan can still be our three clans�� match? Furthermore, there aren��t just our four symbols family clans in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven!��


    Long Jian��s two eyes turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Are you threatening this seat?��


    The atmosphere immediately became somewhat dangerously explosive.


    Long Jian had long realized that Ye Yuan might have comprehended something incredible.


    To the Dragon Clan, Ye Yuan��s importance was self-evident.


    If Ye Yuan could really break the shackles of a divergent cultivator and become a divergent cultivator Hegemon, the dragon race would surely add another great general to their ranks.


    Actually, ever since Mi Tian��s demise, the dragon race��s status was currently being weakened.


    Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to let Ye Yuan��s cultivation be interrupted without interfering.


    While on the other side, the Supreme Hegemons of the three clans had clearly realized this problem too.


    The rise of the dragon race anew was not what they were willing to see.


    ��Brother Long Jian, how about we each take a step back?�� Luan Qinghe suddenly said.


    ��Say it!�� Long Jian said in a solemn voice.


    ��Why don��t we set one year as the date? If this boy is still cultivating after a year, I hope that the Dragon Clan will take the initiative to wake him up!�� Luan Qinghe said.


    ��No way! If you have to have a deadline, three years!�� Long Jian directly interrupted.


    Luan Qinghe nodded and said, ��Okay, three years it is! What do the two of you think?��


    Bai Zhi said with a cold snort, ��Okay!��


    Xuan Taiqing also said, ��I don��t have objections either!��


    Luan Qinghe said, ��Alright. Brother Long Jian, three years later, if this boy still insists on cultivating like this, don��t blame our three clans for turning our blades toward the Dragon Clan!��


    The three clans left, but Long Jian felt tremendous pressure too.


    The strength of these three races added together was no joke.


    Long Jian could not help feeling a headache and said with a sigh, ��This boy can really cause trouble! Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses have probably all moved because of him!��


    Long Ran smiled bitterly and said, ��However, this boy��s potential is really very terrifying! His cultivation this time is because he scattered his cultivation. The divine essence within his body is empty. That��s how he could accomplish it in one go. But if he wants to cultivate like this next time, he won��t be able to do it!��


    Cultivation was a slow simmering process to begin with. It could not be rushed.


    Long Ran saw through it. If Ye Yuan could recover his strength in one stroke this time, that would naturally be good.


    But, if he was interrupted, his cultivation in the future would yield half the results with twice the effort.


    Long Jian also smiled bitterly and said, ��Three years is the limit that this seat can fight for. Against dozens of Hegemon Realm powerhouses, this seat is under a lot of pressure too! If I can��t bear it, then I can only request Progenitor to come forward.��


    �� ��


    Infinite Overcast Oath Heaven, it was the Hegemon land of the heavenly fiend race.


    Eternal River branch stream, the place closest to the main stream, the heavenly fiend race��s progenitor, Great Beyond Realm Hegemon Kong Nie, was currently gaining enlightenment on the Great Beyond.


    Suddenly, the Eternal River became violent.


    ��Mn? The Eternal River is like an ancient well without ripples, it has always been very calm. What��s going on here?�� Progenitor Kong Nie said with a frown.


    However, he did not take it seriously either.


    With his strength, he could respond to any changes with ease.


    Only to see his Great Beyond Realm aura releasing, directly isolating the raging Eternal River, and continued to comprehend.


    Several days later, his cultivation was interrupted again.


    The surrounding Eternal River became even more violent. It had already completely consumed his territory.


    Progenitor Kong Nie gave a cold snort and said, ��This is the undulation coming from the Dragon Clan branch stream. Does Mi Zhen that old thing want to have a battle of magicks with this seat? Can this seat still lose to you?��


    Boom!


    Progenitor Kong Nie released his overwhelming aura and started fighting with the raging Eternal River water.


    He attempted to suppress the violent Eternal River.


    But very soon, his expression changed.


    He discovered that he was completely not this power��s match.


    The water of the Eternal River became more and more violent.


    No way to cultivate anymore!


    ��Old Man Mi Zhen! This ancestor @$#& your uncle! Your Father will be coming to Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven. I want to see what the hell you, this old thing, is doing!��


    Swoosh!


    In an instant, Progenitor Kong Nie��s figure disappeared from the Eternal River.


    The entire 33 Heavens had no idea how many Hegemon Realm powerhouses were letting loose a torrent of abuse.


    Then they came to Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven one after another.


    For some time, the Hegemons from all the heavens came in throngs!


    On the shore, Long Jian broke out into cold sweat. He wished to drag Ye Yuan up to beat him to death.


    Couldn��t this boy make less of a disturbance?


    The three-year deadline was about to be up in a twinkle. Not only did Ye Yuan not show the slightest signs of restraint, but he also caused an even greater commotion instead.


    The Eternal River��s main stream, the power of chaos had become incomparably berserk now. Enormous waves as high as heaven would be set off at the drop of a hat.


    Even if he closed his eyes, he also knew that the other planes were already affected.


    Which of those cultivating in the Eternal River was not a big shot whose reputation shook the heavens?


    At this rate, it was very dangerous!


    Long Jian felt that he almost could not withstand it anymore.


    ��Boy, hurry up and wake up! At this rate, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven is almost becoming the battlefield of all the heavens!�� Long Jian smiled bitterly and said.


    ��Lord Long Jian, Hegemon Zhi Fan is here!��


    ��Lord Long Jian, Hegemon Tang Xi is here!��


    �� ��


    ��Lord Long Jian, Progenitor Kong Nie �� is here!��


    Long Jian became speechless.

 Chapter 3007 - Hegemons From Every Heaven Arriving Simultaneously!

    ��Old Man Mi Zhen, if you still don��t come out, this progenitor will turn your old nest upside down and kill off your dragon descendants!��


    Progenitor Kong Nie��s voice blasted until the entire Heavenly Dragon Island was wobbly.


    Each and every one of the Peak Hegemons and Supreme Hegemons that originally arrived in a threatening manner lowered their banners and silenced the drums.


    This ancestor was a great malefic star!


    All the heavens and myriad worlds, there were none who did not fear him when they saw him.


    Even some Supreme Hegemons also ran far away when they saw him.


    If not for the Dragon Clan having a Great Beyond Realm ancestor holding down the fort, this old fellow would not be shouting here. He would directly exterminate Heavenly Dragon Island!


    At this time, the Hegemon powerhouses gathered on Heavenly Dragon Island reached as many as a hundred!


    Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s three clans were also all present.


    Heavenly Dragon Island��s powerhouses all felt their scalps tingle.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Heavenly Dragon Island had never seen before such a grand line-up.


    ��Progenitor Kong Nie, please calm your anger. We can work things out.�� Facing an existence like Kong Nie, Long Jian had no choice but to lower his head too and could only smile fawningly.


    But Progenitor Kong Nie did not buy it and said with a cold snort, ��Long Jian brat, don��t give this progenitor that! So many people are here. You should know why this progenitor came! Where��s Old Man Mi Zhen? Make him get out! Otherwise, Your Father will really go on a killing spree! This progenitor��s notoriety isn��t a false reputation!��


    Long Jian felt his scalp tingle and said with a bitter smile, ��My progenitor is currently in closed-seclusion. Progenitor Kong Nie, please enter the clan to have a chat.��


    Boom!


    Progenitor Kong Nie threw a punch out. A mountain range on Heavenly Dragon Island was directly leveled to the ground by him.


    The expressions of the dragon race powerhouses changed one after another. Progenitor Kong Nie was too strong!


    Meanwhile, the other Hegemons had gloating looks.


    ��Keep talking crap, and it will be your clan the next time! This ancestor is saying it for the last time. Get Old Man Mi Zhen to come out!�� Progenitor Kong Nie said in a solemn voice.


    Actually, he somewhat turned angry from embarrassment.


    Previously, in the Eternal River, it was considered that he had a showdown with Ye Yuan, but he was completely defeated in the end.


    Kong Nie thought that he had lost to Mi Zhen. So he was very unhappy.


    Long Jian felt that he was collapsing. Kong Nie this old fellow was not easy to serve!


    Rumble!


    The void trembled slightly. An enormous true dragon appeared from the void. It was Mi Zhen who arrived.


    ��Old Man Kong Nie, you came to my Dragon Clan to act wildly. Do you really take it that this progenitor is kneaded out of mud?�� Mi Zhen said angrily.


    ��Humph! You take a look at how many people are on Heavenly Dragon Island to settle scores with you! You turned the Eternal River upside down. Everyone can��t cultivate anymore. You��re still blaming this progenitor for coming to act wildly? Do you believe that this progenitor will fight with you right now?�� Kong Nie did not give in at all.


    Mi Zhen fell silent. He had not been cultivating in the Eternal River these few years and really did not know what happened.


    He could not help looking at Long Jian and discovered that the latter was currently smiling bitterly.


    Long Jian did not hide it either, recounting the matter of Ye Yuan��s cultivation.


    When the Hegemons from all the heavens heard, each and every one were inexplicably shocked.


    ��What? It��s actually not Progenitor Mi Zhen?��


    ��A dragon race junior stirred up all the heavens?��


    ��We all, these Hegemon Realms, are actually not a brat��s match?��


    �� ��


    Kong Nie wanted face a lot. Right now, his face was somewhat lost.


    He thought that he lost to Mi Zhen, but who knew that he actually lost to a brat!


    Where would he, this fiend race ancestor��s face, be put?


    ��Mi Zhen, make that brat get out! Otherwise, don��t blame this seat for killing my way into the Dragon Clan��s Eternal River!�� Kong Nie said in a solemn voice.


    Bai Zhi also spoke up in a timely manner, ��Long Jian, the three years deadline is up. You aren��t going to go back on your words, right? Today, there are more than a hundred Hegemon Realms here. Are you going to give everyone an explanation?��


    ��A brat turned the Eternal River upside down. How preposterous!��


    �� ��


    Each and every one of all the heaven��s Hegemons lashed out in denouncement.


    Those who crossed worlds to come were all not easy to deal with.


    There were many of them who were interrupted at the critical juncture of cultivation, and each and every one of them was angry.


    Mi Zhen was also extremely shocked in his heart. He thought that letting Ye Yuan enter the Eternal River was just a small matter.


    Who knew that he actually got into such big trouble.


    Disturbing the cultivation of more than a hundred Hegemon Realm powerhouses, this was no joking matter.


    Even if he was a Great Beyond powerhouse, he could not quite withstand it too!


    Of course, he did not want to withstand it too.


    Long Jian felt that Ye Yuan was promising, but he had a stomach full of complaints with regard to Ye Yuan.


    Dragonsand was his right-hand man, but he was entrapped to death by Ye Yuan.


    If not for fear of being exposed, he would have long smacked Ye Yuan to death with a slap.


    Right at this time, there was a tremor in the void. Another figure descended.


    When Long Jian saw the arrival, his scalp could not help tingling.


    Another Great Beyond powerhouse!


    When Kong Nie saw the arrival, he could not help laughing loudly and said, ��Younger Sister Qian Yu, I didn��t expect that you��re here too! With this, this progenitor wants to see whether Mi Zhen this old thing still dares to be protective of his own or not!��


    Hegemon Qian Yu, the feather race��s ancestor, Great Beyond Realm overlord!


    Currently, two mighty Great Beyond Realm powerhouses were here to denounce publicly for crimes. It suddenly put the Dragon Clan on the fire to roast.


    The feather race were all beauties. This Hegemon Qian Yu was a peerless great beauty. Her face was exquisite to the extreme, beautiful until it made people asphyxiate.


    Even when Kong Nie saw her, his attitude relaxed significantly too.


    But currently, her face was cold as frost, looking at Mi Zhen as she said in a solemn voice, ��Mi Zhen, is your Dragon Clan going to offend the myriad races from all the heavens?��


    Mi Zhen��s expression was somewhat ugly, cursing Ye Yuan 18 times in his heart.


    This punk was really capable of causing trouble!


    ��Go, call Ye Yuan over to apologize to the seniors!�� Mi Zhen said in a solemn voice.


    ��Progenitor!�� Long Jian said unwillingly.


    During the past years, Ye Yuan already broke through to Limitless Sublime Heavenly Stratum!


    Right now, he was currently at the critical moment of assaulting Sovereign Heavenly Stratum.


    Calling him out at this time would be wasting all his previous efforts!


    He was currently already very certain that the cultivation method that Ye Yuan created was very remarkable.


    If Ye Yuan could rise, it would definitely be very beneficial to the Dragon Clan.


    Interrupting Ye Yuan now was tantamount to ruining the Great Wall themselves!


    ��Didn��t you hear what this progenitor said?�� Mi Zhen��s tone became cold.


    Long Jian stood where he was but did not move.


    After a moment of silence, he raised his head boldly and said, ��Progenitor, Ye Yuan has tremendous potential! Our Dragon Clan should shoulder this matter!��


    Mi Zhen knew that Long Jian was a straightforward man, so he did not like him, and also knew that he was unable to completely obey his orders.


    Hence, that was why he chose Dragonsand.


    It was just that he did not expect that Long Jian actually contradicted him to his face.


    ��Hahaha �� Mi Zhen, you��re really declining with age! You, the exalted progenitor, actually can��t command your subordinates! I think that your Dragon Clan��s situation has really gone from bad to worse ever since Mi Tian!�� Kong Nie could not help laughing loudly when he saw this.


    Mi Zhen��s face was gloomy to the extreme.


    He stared fixed at Long Jian, killing intent ice-cold.


    Long Jian did not speak, but the look in his eyes was extremely stubborn!


    Mi Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��Since that��s the case, everyone enters the Dragon Clan��s Eternal River together with this progenitor then to invite this ��lord�� out!��


    Kong Nie laughed loudly and said, ��Alright! This ancestor also really wants to see what this brat who turned the Eternal River into this situation looks like!��


    Hence, Mi Zhen brought the group of Hegemons and headed to the Eternal River.


    Looking at everyone��s departing back view, Long Jian could not help sighing heavily.


    Just as everyone was about to enter the passageway, the passageway flashed with light, and a figure slowly walked out.

 Chapter 3008 - No Matter What, the Boss Is Still Stronger!

    ��No need to go anymore! Whoever dares disturb Ye Yuan��s cultivation, this progenitor will definitely execute them!��


    An indifferent to the extreme sentence announced the return of a supreme overlord!


    Mi Tian transformed into a middle-aged human, fluttering with immortal qi, and had an imposing appearance.


    He just stood there and did not release any pressure. But everyone��s imposing auras were all suppressed by him!


    This was the former Dragon Clan overlord!


    This was the powerhouse who once made the Dragon Clan incomparably glorious!


    His gaze was not focused on any particular person, but everyone seemed to be stared down by him.


    Kong Nie, Qian Yu, Long Jian, Bai Zhi, Luan Qinghe, Xuan Taiqing, so on and so forth; everyone��s eyes had immense shock.


    Of course, Mi Zhen was the most shocked.


    His eyeballs were almost popping out.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    This guy, who should originally have died, actually returned alive and well!


    This �� How was this possible?


    Why was he here?


    Why did he come out of the Eternal River?


    Countless questions appeared in Mi Zhen��s mind.


    ��You �� You actually didn��t die?�� Kong Nie stammered, asking everyone��s doubts.


    Mi Tian smiled faintly and said, ��You seem very surprised?��


    An Hegemon Realm, if he died, he died. If he lived, he lived. It was not a big problem.


    But a Great Beyond Realm powerhouse resurrecting from the dead, that was absolutely a major event that affected all the heavens!


    Back then, when the news of Mi Tian��s demise spread, it shocked the heavens.


    Especially Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, huge waves were set off!


    The Dragon Clan also started to decline since then.


    But today, Mi Tian returned domineeringly. A storm would surely be set off in the 33 Heavens again!


    Kong Nie snorted coldly and said, ��Old fellow, stop playing tricks here. You think this ancestor is scared of you?��


    Mi Tian was indifferent and said coolly, ��You can come and try.��


    Kong Nie felt contempt!


    ��Humph! An old thing that disappeared for god knows how many years, do you really think that this ancestor is scared of you? Today, this ancestor will let you know that presently, it��s no longer your era anymore!��


    Boom!


    The moment Progenitor Kong Nie��s aura was released, a fiendish energy billowed to the sky, instantly sweeping across the entire Heavenly Dragon Island.


    Each and every one of the Hegemon Realm powerhouses avoided like the plague.


    This level of powerhouse engaging in a fight was seriously too frightening!


    If it was really a life-and-death great battle, demolishing a world was not impossible too.


    On Heavenly Dragon Island, fiendish energy rolled.


    Kong Nie��s body directly grew until it reached the horizon!


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air, being dumbfounded by this shocking change.


    This was the earliest ancestor of all True Fiend Dharma Idols!


    ��True Fiend��s Rage!��


    With a huge roar, Progenitor Kong Nie smashed a fist over. The void trembled violently.


    Progenitor Mi Tian did not dodge, throwing a punch out leisurely.


    If Ye Yuan were here, he would definitely be incredibly shocked.


    It was because he was too familiar with this move!


    Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Fist!


    But, when this punch was executed at Mi Tian��s hands, it was totally different from Ye Yuan!


    A formidable aura of eternal life emanated from Mi Tian��s body.


    In an instant, the two titans exchanged a blow in the void.


    Boom!


    Everyone felt the entire Heavenly Dragon Island shaking.


    Then they were dumbstruck with shock.


    Progenitor Kong Nie��s body was directly beaten back to its original form!


    The true fiend body was actually blown apart by Ancestor Mi Tian with one punch!


    Mi Zhen��s pupils constricted. The awe-inspiring power of this punch was no less than back then!


    ��S-So strong! Is this the ancestor of the Dragon Clan who once suppressed the myriad realms? He hasn��t even unleashed his true body!��


    ��Could it be that the news of his demise back then was fake, and he was actually hiding himself to cultivate?��


    ��This punch is also too strong, right? Progenitor Kong Nie actually can��t last one exchange with him! He��s ultimately stronger!��


    �� ��


    Everyone nodded their heads one after another, feeling that these words were extremely right.


    The battle of Great Beyonds, it was most soul-stirring, easily fighting until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open.


    But, although this battle was impressive, it was not as cruel as everyone imagined.


    Mi Tian��s punch defeated the enemy domineeringly!


    Progenitor Kong Nie��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    His eyes when looking at Mi Tian carried some fear amidst the shock.


    Progenitor Kong Nie and Progenitor Mi Zhen, both were old monster-level existences.


    But Mi Tian��s birth was far earlier than theirs.


    Before they became famous, Mi Zhen��s reputation already shook the heavens.


    The soul race had Hegemon Samsara. Nobody dared to go and provoke at all.


    But Mi Tian went!


    He beat Hegemon Heavenly Soul until he could not do anything about it and even borrowed the soul race��s soul canon from Hegemon Samsara��s hands to read.


    This matter, even ordinary Great Beyond powerhouses did not dare to do it too.


    Now, he returned domineeringly, suppressing myriad realms with one punch!


    ��Still not convinced? If you��re not convinced, the two of you can come together! Today, you can demolish Heavenly Dragon Island. But tomorrow, you can forget about keeping your old lairs; best to move houses early,�� Mi Tian looked at the two mighty Great Beyond powerhouses as he said coolly.


    Great Beyond Realm powerhouses were naturally not so easy to kill.


    But Mi Tian alone could demolish their old nests!


    You could not even defend against it!


    Therefore, in wars between heavens, and battles of Great Beyond Realms, it rarely affected the family.


    Kong Nie and Qian Yu, two mighty Great Beyond powerhouses, were suppressed until they had no temper.


    Qian Yu said in a solemn voice, ��Old Man Mi Tian, you��re a little too overbearing, right? A brat from your family is cultivating, and you��re going to make a hundred Hegemons from all the heavens wait?��


    Mi Tian said nonchalantly, ��This progenitor has always been overbearing. Is this your first time hearing about it? If you have the ability, you guys can come out with a brat to turn the Eternal River upside down too! This old man is very fair. When the time comes, I absolutely won��t even let out a fart!��


    All the Hegemons�� faces turned black.


    Are you freaking kidding me?


    Where would I go to find a brat?


    ��Moreover, can you all only cultivate in the Eternal River? All the heavens and myriad worlds, they were formed by the Eternal River. Each blade of grass and each tree contains Great Dao! You all are holed up in the Eternal River everyday. When can you catch up to this old man?�� Mi Tian continued to deliver deadly blows.


    Actually, Mi Tian also holed up in the Eternal River all day in the past.


    But Ye Yuan��s words made him suddenly see the light.


    Only then did he realize. He was too narrow-minded in the past!


    Each person��s Dao was different.


    The existence of all the heavens and myriad worlds was an extremely philosophical thing in itself.


    Perhaps a very minor thing could open a new world!


    Everyone pursued the Door of Eternal Life, the water of the Eternal River, but abandoned the great forest. It was attending to the superficials and neglecting the fundamentals sometimes.


    It was just that when these words were said, the group of Hegemons found it extremely grating on the ears.


    Freaking hell, talk is cheap!


    ��Old Thing, consider yourself ruthless! This time, Your Father admits my bad luck!�� Kong Nie gnashed his teeth in hatred and directly tore through the void and left.


    This face could not be regained anymore!


    Ever since, the Dragon Clan resumed to having two mighty Great Beyond powerhouses holding down the fort once more, sitting firmly on the number one seat of all the heavens.


    This era was ultimately the era of the old men!


    The Kong Nie who tore through the void was somewhat sour.


    ��Farewell!�� Qian Yu had a cold face and directly dissipated into nothing.


    The other Hegemons exchanged glances, dispersing one after another.


    The Great Beyond Realm old monsters all ran away. What were they staying behind for?


    Looking for abuse?


    While at this time, all of the members of the dragon race were excited until they were almost jumping up and down.


    Except for Mi Zhen ��

 Chapter 3009 - Unexpected Conclusion!

    ��Bai Zhi, Xuan Taiqing, the two of you stay for a while.��


    The Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, the three clans were just about to leave, but Mi Tian suddenly said.


    Bai Zhi and Xuan Taiqing��s hearts tightened, immediately having a foreboding premonition.


    Luan Qinghe let out a sigh of relief and did not care to look at the other two, directly slipping away.


    ��P-Progenitor Mi Tian, I wonder what you��re keeping the two of us behind for?�� Bai Zhi clenched his teeth and asked.


    ��Oh, it��s nothing, just asking a drop of blood essence from each of you.�� Mi Tian said nonchalantly.


    Bai Zhi was stupefied and said, ��Progenitor, that��s overboard!��


    A drop of blood essence was naturally nothing to a Hegemon Realm powerhouse.


    But, to the true spirit race, this was a true spirit.


    Each true spirit race had very strict control over blood essence, especially heaven qian grade bloodline.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Mi Tian directly asking for blood essence was actually violating a taboo of the true spirit race.


    Mi Tian naturally was not asking for blood essence for himself. The true spirit race was unable to refine and fuse bloodlines with each other at all.


    But, for Ye Yuan��s sake, Mi Tian did not care at all.


    Mi Tian said coolly, ��If there��s any problem, have Bai Ling and Xuan Qing come and find this progenitor. Or, do you guys want to make this progenitor do it myself?��


    Bai Zhi��s expression was very ugly. He knew that he could not get through this today.


    A drop of blood essence floated towards Mi Tian. Bai Zhi said in a cold voice, ��Progenitor, you��ve just returned. It��s better to keep a low-profile in doing things! Hundreds of thousands of years have passed. The present situation is very different now!��


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Nothing is different. Whoever finds this progenitor displeasing to the eye, just bring it on. This progenitor will receive it all!��


    Bai Zhi snorted coldly and immediately left.


    After Xuan Taiqing handed over the blood essence, he left the Dragon Clan too.


    ��Progenitor, you �� you��re actually still alive! That��s great! It��s really too great!�� Long Jian was agitated until hot tears ran down his face, wishing to run up and hug Mi Tian.


    The person that he idolized the most was not Mi Zhen, but this handsome middle-aged man in front of him.


    In reality, the vast majority of the Dragon Clan was the same as him.


    The Dragon Clan��s spiritual leader had never been Mi Zhen, but it was Mi Tian!


    These people were all agitated until their faces turned red, virtually unable to speak.


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Mn, I��m considered to have died once. Being able to come back, this progenitor feels pretty good too. Mi Zhen, it��s been hard on you for so many years.��


    Mi Zhen��s gaze turned cold, and he said, ��It��s Ye Yuan who brought you back?��


    The expressions of all the Hegemons turned somber, immediately feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right.


    Originally a moment where everyone was happy, why did Progenitor Mi Zhen have this attitude?


    Mi Tian still had a light smile as he said, ��You��re still so clever. But sadly, you��re a victim of your own cleverness!��


    Mi Zhen snorted coldly and said, ��I didn��t expect that even the ambush of three mighty Great Beyond Realms failed to kill you. Heaven really has no eyes!��


    Mi Tian smiled and said, ��If I didn��t run into Ye Yuan, I��d pretty much be a dead man now too. Or should I say, this is called Heaven took pity, letting me see your hypocritical face.��


    The group of dragon clan members was confused from listening. Why were they ready to jump at each other��s throats all of a sudden?


    The two great chaos true dragons had always been affectionate brothers. Why did it become like this after not seeing each other for several hundred thousand years?


    Mi Zhen was too astute. The moment he laid eyes on Mi Tian, he knew that he had been exposed.


    It was because Mi Tian came out of the Eternal River��s space!


    And the moment he came out, he offended many powerhouses across the heavens for Ye Yuan��s sake.


    Why would a Great Beyond Realm super overlord protect a junior like this?


    Coupled with Blood Dragon Island��s matter, the truth was basically out already.


    Mi Tian returned but used this kind of veiled method to get on the island. What did this indicate?


    Who was he guarding against?


    Of course it was him, Mi Zhen!


    Hence, there was no need to continue pretending anymore.


    This battle could not be avoided.


    ��Everyone back away,�� Mi Tian said coolly.


    Two astonishing auras rose up from Heavenly Dragon Island.


    The expressions of the dragon race Hegemons changed greatly, knowing that this battle could not be avoided anymore, withdrawing one after another.


    Mi Tian and Mi Zhen did not need to explain anything, nor did they put forward any proof.


    As long as they understood in their heart, it would do.


    ��Your life is really tenacious! The blood race��s three mighty Great Beyond Realms joined hands and actually failed to kill you!�� Mi Zhen said in a cold voice.


    ��It��s not that my life is tenacious, but that I��m strong enough! In this world, you know me the best. So you know my weakness. But you still underestimated me�� Mi Tian said lightly.


    ��So what? Do you think that I��m still the old me?��


    ��Hur hur, even Dragonsand had a foot stepped into Great Beyond. Of course you obtained more benefits than him. However, you used countless clansmen to become stronger. Will your heart really not ache?��


    ��Humph! You suppressed me for countless tens of thousands of years. I��ve long grown impatient! You were merely born a million years earlier than me, that means that you can keep on pressing down on top of my head? I��m not willing!��


    ��So, you colluded with the blood race and lured a wolf into the house?��


    ��So what if it��s the blood race? We were merely making use of each other, that��s all!��


    Mi Tian shook his head and said with a sigh, ��You know too little about the blood race! The blood race is even more terrifying than you imagine!��


    Mi Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Mi Tian, are you scaring me? Do you really think that by rebirthing in the Eternal River, you��ve cornered me?��


    While talking, someone walked out of the island.


    Every movement and action of this person transcended into sainthood and was vague and ephemeral.


    When Mi Tian saw the arrival, his pupils could not help constricting: ��It really is you!��


    The arrival nodded and said with a smile, ��Looks like you already know who I am.��


    Mi Tian drew a deep breath and said, ��You concealed so deeply!��


    The arrival smiled and said, ��That kid is very formidable! Even I am even somewhat apprehensive of him too.��


    Mi Tian��s gaze turned cold, and he said, ��You won��t have the chance!��


    The arrival smiled. He did not speak.


    Mi Zhen could not understand what they were talking about. But it did not matter anymore.


    ��Blood Two, join hands with me and kill him!�� Mi Zhen said with a cold smile.


    The arrival nodded his head and said, ��Attack together!��


    Mi Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Mi Tian, you shouldn��t have come back! The present me is no longer who I used to be a long time ago! Moreover, if I join hands with Blood Two, you won��t have a chance!��


    Mi Tian did not express anything and was silent.


    Crack, crack, crack ��


    In the sky above Heavenly Dragon Island, lightning rampaged!


    Two great chaos true dragons; what Mi Tian walked on was the path of space.


    And what Mi Zhen walked on was the path of lightning.


    His current overwhelming aura was not the slightest bit weaker than Mi Tian.


    For so many years, he received the help of the blood race. His strength had long already advanced by leaps and bounds.


    At the same time, Blood Two suddenly erupted.


    Two mighty Great Beyond Realm powerhouses charged toward Mi Tian with astonishing momentum.


    Mi Zhen laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, today, I��ll let you die again! The Dragon Clan��s only ruler is me, Mi Zhen!��


    However, right at this time, Blood Two suddenly turned in the air. A terrifying to the extreme aura of eternal life smashed toward Mi Zhen.


    Mi Zhen��s entire mind was placed on Mi Tian. How could he have expected such a sudden turn of events?


    Boom!


    The void shattered, and Mi Zhen��s colossal body directly smashed onto the ground, fresh blood spurting wildly.


    Regarding this strike, Blood Two practically used his full strength. In addition, Mi Zhen was not guarding against him at all. The damage was too great.


    Mi Zhen collapsed in the pool of blood, looking at Blood Two full of resentment.

 Chapter 3010 - The Blood Races Scheme!

    ��W-Why?�� Mi Zhen��s eyes were full of unwillingness.


    Blood Two said coolly, ��It��s very simple. It��s because you��re useless now. Compared to taking blood essence from his body, it��s much easier to get it from you.��


    At this time, clusters of fresh blood condensed in Blood Two��s hand, emitting a powerful undulation.


    That was Mi Zhen��s blood essence!


    In that instant just now, Blood Two severely wounded Mi Zhen, and extracted 50% of his blood essence all at once.


    ��I �� I won��t let you off!�� The fury in Mi Zhen��s chest rose straight to the firmament.


    But he was already dying.


    Blood Two could not be bothered to care about Mi Zhen��s fury and said to Mi Tian with a smile, ��I really didn��t expect that you��ve actually been with that kid the entire time! This boy is really my jinx. He has already ruined my affairs several times. This time, it fell through at his hands again!��


    Mi Tian frowned and said, ��If not for that you made a move against him in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, I��d still be kept in the dark. I also didn��t expect that your clone in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven has actually come into being a long time ago! It looks like your scheme started since long ago!��


    Blood Two smiled and said, ��Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s strongest four clans, I��ve already obtained three. Originally, there was just one last step for your Dragon Clan. But I didn��t expect that that brat actually brought you back. This time, that brat ruined my affairs again. I really want to kill him!��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Mi Tian��s pupils constricted, obtained three out of the four clans!


    This meant that the four symbols family clans had already almost fallen completely into enemy hands!


    That was right. This Blood Two was none other than precisely one of the Chaos Bloodstone��s clones!


    Of course, he was also one of the people who schemed against Mi Tian back then.


    This was also to say that this Blood Two had long already been born several hundred thousand years ago.


    He plotted in secret, toying with the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven in the palm of his hands.


    Originally, Mi Tian did not know Blood Two��s identity. But, in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, the Chaos Bloodstone made a move against Ye Yuan. That was how he finally realized it.


    The aura of that guy who plotted against him back then was exactly the same as the Chaos Bloodstone!


    This way, everything made sense.


    Mi Zhen colluded with Blood Two and sold him out.


    It was just that Mi Zhen did not know what kind of dangerous existence he was together with!


    Blood Two was just a clone of the Chaos Bloodstone!


    Nobody knew how strong his original body was.


    Perhaps, he was only half a step away from completely opening the Door of Eternal Life!


    ��You can forget about him! Even if this seat dies, I won��t let you prevail too!�� Mi Tian said in a cold voice.


    Blood Two waved his hand and said with a smile, ��You don��t have to be so nervous. Honestly speaking, I really want to kill that boy. But now is not the time. You should know, that day won��t be too long. Furthermore, I��ve already acquired your four clans�� blood essence. The most important thing at present is cracking the key and letting my original body��s origin reach grand completion!��


    Mi Tian��s body immediately filled with a murderous aura.


    Blood Two smiled and said, ��Why? Do you really want to fight with me? To quote something from Mi Zhen, I��m no longer who I used to be back then! I know that you��re very strong now, but we��re at most evenly-matched too. You can��t make me stay. Alright, it was a pleasant chat today. I won��t disturb you two brothers�� reunion anymore, goodbye.��


    Finished saying, Blood Two directly disappeared from where he was.


    Mi Tian did not move because he did not have confidence in making the other party stay.


    A clone was already so powerful. Mi Tian did not dare to imagine how strong the Chaos Bloodstone��s original body was!


    ��What on earth are you guys talking about?�� Mi Zhen asked weakly.


    Mi Tian gave him a glance and could not help but sigh.


    This guy was a complete and utter fool!


    He recounted the existence of the Chaos Bloodstone. Mi Zhen��s entire body trembled heavily after he heard.


    Endless remorse and humiliation welled up from the bottom of his heart.


    Mi Zhen��s personality was unyielding and arrogant. When he discovered that he was completely played like a monkey by someone for hundreds of thousands of years, that sense of shame made him virtually want to commit suicide.


    ��Big Brother, I �� I was wrong!��


    This overlord of the heavens, a Great Beyond Realm mighty expert, wept like a child.


    �� ��


    Very soon, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven fell into great chaos, the fires of war burning everywhere.


    The four symbols family clans had fallen completely into civil wars.


    Every once in a while, there would be news of Hegemons dying that was transmitted over.


    From start to end, the three families�� Great Beyond progenitors did not appear.


    Only then did people discover that the situation was not quite right.


    Mi Tian also expended a great effort to completely eradicate the Dragon Clan��s tumors.


    These people had long been marked by Ye Yuan.


    He had the origin of blood and was very sensitive to these people.


    The Dragon Clan actually had one-third of its Hegemon Realm powerhouses that were controlled by the blood race!


    In this battle, the Dragon Clan suffered a great loss in vitality.


    After resolving the Dragon Clan��s havoc, Mi Tian led the Dragon Clan and pacified the chaos of the other three clans.


    Only then did Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven slowly stabilize.


    But the Hegemons of the four symbols family clans who died reached as many as a hundred people!


    The whereabouts of the three clans�� ancestors were unknown!


    Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven suffered a great loss in vitality!


    This disaster lasted for more than ten years before it gradually subsided.


    In the Eternal River, waves rolled.


    Ye Yuan��s aura soared to the sky, breaking through to upper Emperor Cloud Heaven in one stroke!


    ��Huff �� Finally cultivated it back! My dragon race origin divinity is already completely restored too. It��s even a level stronger than before! Being able to make use of the power of chaos in the Eternal River to cultivate, my path should be correct! It��s just I don��t know until which step I can reach in the future! Mn? Why am I the only one here?��


    Ye Yuan leaped, leaving the Eternal River, his face somewhat blank.


    The originally bustling Eternal River was now empty. He was the only one left.


    But very soon, he could not help laughing as he said, ��Right, I stirred up the chaos. They couldn��t cultivate at all. Senior Mi Tian should have already recovered, right? Also don��t know how things are outside.��


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Long Min��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� Your cultivation actually improved further!��


    He was specially arranged by Mi Tian to stay behind and await Ye Yuan to exit seclusion.


    It was just that Long Min never expected that not only did Ye Yuan recover his strength fully, but he also even took it one step further!


    At this time, Ye Yuan actually gave him a fleeting and ephemeral, and unfathomable feeling.


    Could this be due to the Eternal River chaos?


    Suddenly, Long Min was somewhat envious of Ye Yuan.


    This guy was really remarkable!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Actually, most of the new cultivation methods that I comprehended are just the opposite of my original cultivation methods. Cultivating back my original realm isn��t something difficult.��


    Long Min said in shock, ��J-Just inversing the cultivation method and it will have such a magical effect?��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and asked, ��Senior, how��s the situation outside now?��


    The moment this was asked, Long Min��s brows furrowed together.


    He recounted Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s situation. Ye Yuan��s heart also sank.


    More than 100 Hegemon Realms fell. This had not happened in all the heavens and myriad worlds for many years already.


    Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s strength was diminished by almost half at once!


    Furthermore, the three great progenitors were actually all missing. It was likely fraught with grim possibilities.


    With this, the blood race��s scheme in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven was considered to be completely carried out!


    Most likely, Mi Tian was also utterly exhausted from overwork now, right?


    ��Oh, right, Progenitor instructed to hand this to you after you exit seclusion!�� As he said those words, Long Min handed Ye Yuan two small bottles.


    The things contained inside were shockingly White Tiger blood essence and Black Tortoise blood essence!

 Chapter 3011 - Contending for Young Patriarch!

    ��What a strong aura! Is this �� the blood of Hegemons?�� Ye Yuan said in surprise.


    These two blood essences contained tremendous energy. Furthermore, they were even peak heaven qian grade bloodline.


    This kind of blood essence was very precious no matter which clan it was. It was absolutely impossible to be leaked.


    Long Min gave Ye Yuan a glance somewhat enviously and said, ��Progenitor forcibly made two Supreme Hegemons leave behind their blood essence for your sake. Furthermore, the commotion that you caused in the Eternal River was too big. It even alarmed Great Beyond Realm powerhouses. It was also Progenitor who helped you to fend it off.��


    The Dragon Clan had quite the veiled criticism toward Ye Yuan.


    Mi Tian was too good to him, making many Heavenly Dragon Island geniuses very jealous.


    These few years, there were rumors saying that Progenitor wanted to groom Ye Yuan as his successor. This made those geniuses who were originally from the Dragon Clan very unhappy.


    Ye Yuan was quite moved when he heard it. He naturally understood what kind of pressure Mi Tian had to bear with his way of doing things.


    Even if one was Great Beyond Realm, they could not do as they pleased too.


    However, there were not much words needed between him and Mi Tian anymore.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Along the way, they fought side by side and had long already entrusted each other with life and death.


    It was just that this somewhat could not be understood from other people��s points of view.


    ��However, I don��t understand. What does Progenitor mean by taking the risk of offending the two clans to get you two drops of blood essence?�� Long Min asked curiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��ll understand very soon. Where��s Senior Mi Tian? I want to see him.��


    Long Min said, ��Progenitor went to the Acacia Tree. After the Vermilion Bird Clan��s internal strife was quelled, because Feng Qingxuan possesses half-chaos bloodline and was chosen as the new Vermilion Bird young patriarch, Progenitor sent her back personally.��


    Ye Yuan said with some surprise, ��Half-chaos bloodline?��


    Long Min said, ��Four symbols family clans, extremely talented clansmen might awaken half-chaos bloodline, which is also quasi-chaos grade bloodline. They are geniuses with hopes of stepping into Great Beyond Realm. During these few years that you were in closed-seclusion, Feng Qingxuan awakened half-chaos bloodline and has already broken through to Emperor Sakra Heaven.��


    Ye Yuan was dumbfounded from listening.


    It was still his first time hearing that there was actually such a thing.


    ��In that case, our Dragon Clan also has half-chaos bloodline?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    ��That we don��t. The Dragon Clan has two great progenitors suppressing our destiny. I reckon that it��s very hard for half-chaos bloodline to appear. The Vermilion Bird Clan��s progenitor went missing. But a half-chaos bloodline appeared now, and they guess that the Vermilion Bird��s Progenitor has already been murdered. Of course, this isn��t a certainty either. Progenitor Mi Zhen is very weak now. Maybe our Dragon Clan can give birth to half-chaos bloodline too,�� Long Min said.


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��Mi Zhen isn��t dead yet?��


    Long Min let out a sigh and said, ��Progenitor Mi Zhen had his blood essence extracted, his strength falling greatly. Furthermore, he suffered a devastating blow this time. He has been dispirited and inert the entire time. He��s equivalent to a cripple now.��


    Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, ��He only had himself to blame! Uh, since Senior Mi Tian isn��t around, I��d better go into closed-seclusion.��


    Long Min said in surprise, ��You just exited seclusion. You��re going into closed-seclusion again?��


    Ye Yuan pointed at the two small bottles and said with a smile, ��Isn��t this burning with eagerness?��


    Long Min frowned, not understanding, but it felt very impressive.


    While talking, the two people had already arrived at the clan, and they saw several young men coming head-on, blocking Ye Yuan��s path.


    These few youngsters had extremely strong auras. They were shockingly all Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses!


    And their bloodline auras also crushed everyone. They were actually all peak heaven qian grade!


    Heaven qian grade bloodline was very common on Heavenly Dragon Island. It was not considered very impressive.


    But peak heaven qian grade bloodline, that was like the feather of a phoenix and horn of a Qilin, being very rare.


    When bloodline reached heaven qian grade, it was like having cultivated to Hegemon Realm. Even advancing a fraction was extremely difficult.


    Therefore, on this Heavenly Dragon Island, although everyone��s bloodline was very strong, there was actually still a difference in status.


    Such as these few in front of him, one glance and it was clear that their status was extraordinary.


    A total of nine people came. Each and every one had unfriendly expressions. Clearly, they came to look for trouble.


    ��Young Patriarch Long He, what are you all doing?�� Long Min said in a solemn voice.


    ��None of your business, Long Min. Scram to one side for this young patriarch! If you dare to poke your finger in other people��s business today, this young patriarch will expel you from the Qin Niu lineage!�� Long He said in a solemn voice.


    Long Min��s expression changed, knowing that things could not be resolved today anymore.


    He looked toward Ye Yuan somewhat apologetically.


    He could not meddle in this matter.


    The latter smiled, indifferent to it.


    The statuses of the nine lineages�� young patriarchs were extraordinary.


    And today was the fight for the Dragon Clan��s young patriarch. He really could not interfere.


    The nine lineages�� young patriarchs originally had many conflicts.


    But, because of Ye Yuan��s appearance, they had a common enemy and actually joined hands.


    Actually, Ye Yuan had long discerned some jealousy from Long Min��s words.


    It was just that he did not think that it came so quickly.


    Heavenly Dragon Island��s nine dragon clan lineages were all the direct descendants of chaos true dragons, their bloodlines extremely strong.


    Furthermore, the nine lineages�� powerhouse all inherited a portion of chaos bloodline talents. This was what other dragon clans could not compare to.


    It was also precisely because of this that Heavenly Dragon Island was the holy land for the dragon race.


    As for East Billow Region, those dragon clans, their bloodline was comparatively much thinner.


    And among them, the difficulty of giving birth to Hegemon Realms was even greater.


    Long He looked at Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, I��m called Long He, Qin Niu Clan��s young patriarch! I challenge you! The loser will withdraw from the Young Patriarch Competition! Do you dare to accept the fight?��


    Ye Yuan looked at the other party and said with a smile, ��Nine Emperor Vast Heavens coming to challenge me, an Emperor Cloud Heaven. Are you guys sure that you��re not kidding?��


    Long He said, ��You turned the world upside down amidst the Eternal River chaos, even Great Beyond Realms came on a punitive expedition! Furthermore, you cultivated with the power of chaos. Your strength should far exceed those in the same rank, right? If we went to get a few Emperor Cloud Heaven over, wouldn��t it be insufficient for you to even fill the crevices between your teeth? How can this be said as us bullying you?��


    These words were said in a high-sounding way, but actually, it was clearly bullying people.


    Emperor Vast Heaven was Emperor Vast Heaven; Emperor Cloud Heaven was Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    It was not to say that the disparity in-between was impossible to bridge. But it was indeed extremely, extremely difficult.


    No matter how exceedingly formidable your means, no matter how powerful your bloodline, the gap between cultivation realms was still an insurmountable gulf.


    ��Heh, there��s a show to watch now.��


    ��You guys guess. Will Ye Yuan be beaten this time until not even his parents can recognize him?��


    ��Tch, this guy is at most considered half a dragon, to actually dare covet the position of young patriarch, truly wishful thinking!��


    ��He thinks that by bringing Progenitor back, he can be lawless and unbridled? For him to have today, Progenitor must have made great contributions! The favor of bringing back to the clan has long been paid off!��


    �� ��


    In the Dragon Clan, not everyone felt optimistic about Ye Yuan like Long Jian did.


    Especially that Ye Yuan was just a mixed-blood. They did not acknowledge him at all.


    Heavenly Dragon Island was also a pugilist world in itself, it was naturally impossible for all to be equal.


    In reality, those who entered Heavenly Dragon Island from outside, their status was a grade below to begin with.


    Let alone talk about Ye Yuan, this mixed-blood.


    This matter about Progenitor wanting to confer Ye Yuan as young patriarch, it was also unknown how it spread. But the vast majority of the people on the island were conflicted about this.


    Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, ��You make a lot of sense! However, I��ve no interest in the position of young patriarch. There��s no need to challenge.��

 Chapter 3012 - Overcoming Strength With Strength!

    Hearing this, everyone was stupefied.


    Not interested?


    It was admitting cowardice, right!


    True, a wise man did not fight when the odds were against him!


    However, Long He did not have the intention of letting Ye Yuan off. His figure moved, blocking Ye Yuan��s path, and he said with a sneer, ��You say that you have no interest, means you have no interest?��


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Then what do you want?��


    Long He said coolly, ��Unless you kowtow to the nine of us and take the initiative to withdraw from the competition for young patriarch!��


    If he kowtowed in front of so many people, even if Progenitor let Ye Yuan be the young patriarch, he would not have the face to take on the role too.


    The actions of Long He and the rest seemed very childish to Ye Yuan.


    No matter what, they were Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Even if they wanted to fight for the position of young patriarch, they should rely on strength to vie for it too.


    But sometimes, in front of benefits, people tend to appear very immature.


    The position of young patriarch represented greater accomplishments and a higher status!


    Nobody was unmoved.


    Long He and the rest did not look down on Ye Yuan. On the contrary, they regarded Ye Yuan very highly. That was why there was such an action.


    Ye Yuan was only Emperor Cloud Heaven now, they could still suppress him.


    But, if Ye Yuan stepped into Emperor Vast Heaven, they would really have no advantage at all.


    Hence, for the position of young patriarch, they unanimously decided to teach Ye Yuan a lesson, making him automatically withdraw from the competition for young patriarch.


    Ye Yuan looked at Long He and said with a smile that was not a smile, ��In that case, you all are hellbent on me taking action? The nine of you think that you��ve cornered me?��


    Long He said coolly, ��Cornered you? Huhu, it should be a fair fight for us! Just now, we said it too. You cultivated the Eternal River��s chaos, with your strength far surpassing those in the same rank! Moreover, if the future lord of the Dragon Clan can��t even suppress us, the young patriarchs of the nine lineages, what right do you have to become the lord of the dragon race?��


    Ye Yuan was shocked. He discovered that he actually had nothing to say in response.


    You were clearly full of shit, but why did it sound like it made a lot of sense?


    ��Pfff!��


    Ye Yuan snorted with laughter and said, ��Alright, you��ve already put it like this. If I were to still decline with all sorts of excuses, then I really can��t justify it. Which of you is coming first?��


    The nine people��s eyes lit up, thinking to themselves that this brat indeed could not stand being goaded.


    The few people seemed reckless, but actually, they had long planned it out.


    Ye Yuan��s performance previously, they also took it into their sights.


    Facing Progenitor Mi Zhen, Ye Yuan did not back down in the least bit. It was sufficient to see his pride.


    ��I��ll go first!��


    A guy with a dragon��s head and lion��s body stepped forward. This was the Suan Ni Clan��s young patriarch, Long Hui1.


    Long Hui had just broken through to Emperor Vast Heaven not long. His strength was lower Emperor Vast Heaven.


    Ye Yuan guessed that he should be the weakest among the nine people.


    ��Ye Yuan, what you cultivate is the Eternal River��s power of chaos, with boundless power. When we fight in a while, you have to show mercy!�� Long Hui said with a smile that was not a smile.


    ��Relax, I will,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    These few guys really made people speechless.


    They were not like those geniuses, posturing everywhere; instead, they deliberately showed weakness to the enemy.


    It was like Ye Yuan was bullying them.


    Their cultivation realms were clearly much higher than Ye Yuan��s.


    Opening the Door of Eternal Life��s first seal and not opening the seal, it was completely different.


    Once the seal was opened, the aura of the Door of Eternal Life would overflow, greatly increasing one��s strength.


    Under normal circumstances, Emperor Vast Heaven was invincible against Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Only those guys with powerful backgrounds and deep foundations could rely on powerful trump cards to make up for such a huge disparity.


    But very clearly, the ones who possessed all kinds of trump cards were the nine great young patriarchs!


    It was naturally doubly difficult for Ye Yuan to want to jump realms and fight.


    Ye Yuan��s response directly rendered everyone speechless.


    ��Is this boy really stupid or pretending to be dumb? He wouldn��t really think that by cultivating the Eternal River��s chaos, he��s invincible under the heavens, right?��


    ��Heh heh, he even really dares to agree to it! He probably hasn��t realized who his opponent is, right?��


    ��The nine clans�� young patriarchs, each and every one has exceedingly formidable means. They are not some ordinary Emperor Vast Heaven!��


    ��I think that this Ye Yuan has interacted too much with Hegemon Realms and simply looks down on Emperor Vast Heaven. His standards are too high!��


    �� ��


    In the void, two figures stood side by side.


    These two people were both paying attention to this challenge.


    One of them was precisely the Hegemon Long Jian, who stayed behind to guard Heavenly Dragon Island.


    While the other was the Qin Niu Clan��s progenitor, Hegemon Long Hai!


    ��I thought that you��d make a move to stop it,�� Long Hai said.


    Long Jian gave the other party a glance and said coolly, ��The brats are just fighting in jest. It��s not to be taken for real. Moreover, I��m also very curious how strong the power of chaos in the Eternal River is!��


    Long Hai smiled and said, ��Yeah, it indeed makes people curious. However, Ye Yuan��s realm is still too low. It��s simply impossible to be Long Hui��s match. This boy is too proud. It��s easy to break if one is too tough!��


    Long Jian gave a cold snort but did not speak.


    Clearly, he did not feel optimistic about Ye Yuan either.


    This kind of fight was clearly unfair.


    Even the weakest Long Hui was not an ordinary person.


    The dragon race��s young patriarchs did not have a single mediocre person!


    These few people were all seedlings targeted to be Supreme Hegemons in the future!


    This boy really could not be spurred on at all!


    ��Make your move!�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Long Hui grinned and said, ��You��re the genius that Progenitor Mi Tian thinks highly of. Brother Ye, please give guidance.��


    Finished saying, Long Hui turned into an afterimage, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan.


    It was only to see him raise his dragon claw and directly smack down toward Ye Yuan without the slightest flashiness.


    However, at this moment, his bloodline power directly erupted to the peak.


    ��Suan Ni Clan��s bloodline divine ability, Sacred Heaven Seal!��


    ��Fine lad, Young Patriarch Long Hui is going to crush domineeringly!��


    ��Under bloodline pressure, this move virtually sweeps across those in the same rank! I want to see what Ye Yuan will use to receive this move!��


    �� ��


    Sacred Heaven Seal was the Suan Ni Clan��s divine ability secret technique.


    Coupled with Long Hui��s peak heaven qian grade bloodline, the power was irresistible.


    This move did not have the slightest flashiness. It was an out-and-out crushing.


    It was like hand-to-hand fighting between mortals.


    However, the moment this move was unleashed, that power soared several times over!


    Even if facing ordinary middle Emperor Vast Heavens, Long Hui could directly crush them too!


    As for Ye Yuan, this upper Emperor Cloud Heaven, he never thought that he could receive it at all.


    Ye Yuan��s smartest approach now was to avoid the sharp edge!


    Under the circumstances where there was such a huge gap in cultivation realm, overcoming strength with strength did not exist at all.


    However, right at this time, Ye Yuan moved too.


    Similarly, without the slightest flashiness, he raised his fist to meet the enemy.


    In fact, Ye Yuan did not utilize any martial technique!


    Chaos divine essence completely erupted on Ye Yuan��s body, all of it gathering on his fist.


    A genuine overcoming strength with strength!


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them was dumbstruck with shock.


    Was this guy courting death?


    You��re freaking �� not even using martial techniques?


    In the void, Long Hai said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha �� this boy is really interesting! Just how much is he looking down on our dragon race that he��d use this kind of method to fight?��


    In his view, this way of fighting was too laughable.


    An Emperor Cloud Heaven actually chose to confront an Emperor Vast Heaven head-on!


    No matter what you cultivated, this was no different from courting death.


    Boom!


    One human and one dragon, directly collided together.


    Thud, thud, thud ��


    Long Hui��s figure retreated ten thousand feet explosively, before barely managing to stabilize.


    His face swelled until it turned purple.

 Chapter 3013 - The Power of Chaos Divine Essence!

    ��This �� How is this possible? The two of them had a frontal confrontation, and Long Hui actually fell into a disadvantageous position?��


    ��What a joke! Long Hui is Emperor Vast Heaven, and he actually can��t win against an Emperor Cloud Heaven?��


    ��Furthermore, Ye Yuan didn��t use a martial technique at all. It��s just divine essence erupting! This �� This is too strong!��


    ��Could it be that this is the power of the Eternal River��s chaos? I-Is it really so strong?��


    �� ��


    The surrounding crowd seethed with excitement at once.


    This result was seriously too unexpected!


    Emperor Cloud Heaven Ye Yuan who did not even use any martial technique directly blew the Emperor Vast Heaven Long Hui away!


    This kind of combat strength simply subverted everyone��s understanding of cultivation realm.


    Even Ye Yuan himself was also quite surprised.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    He had long felt the power of the chaos divine essence but did not think that it was so strong.


    In the process of cultivation, Ye Yuan already experienced that his chaos divine essence was extremely thick and solid.


    It seemed like that was the most authentic appearance of energy!


    Actually, thinking about it, Ye Yuan felt at ease too.


    Chaos gave birth to all things. Even if it was a high-level plane like Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, the heaven and earth spiritual energy that was derived from chaos was also countless times thinner.


    Long Hai��s laughter cut off abruptly. He looked at Ye Yuan with a look of astonishment, full of disbelief.


    ��S-So strong?�� Long Hai felt somewhat parched.


    Long Jian glanced at him and said coolly, ��He isn��t looking down on the divine race. He��s just testing the power of the chaos divine essence. Most likely, even he himself is very surprised too, right?��


    Long Hai��s gaze became slightly intent, and he said, ��Long Jian, I say, if we ����


    Long Jian naturally understood what he meant. Giving him a glance, he said coolly, ��Do you dare to scatter your cultivation?��


    Long Hai was dumbfounded.


    A Supreme Hegemon scattering his cultivation, cultivating from scratch again?


    You had got to be kidding!


    The risk of scattering one��s cultivation was too great!


    Ye Yuan cultivated chaos and had a grand awakening. What about him?


    If he dared to scatter his cultivation, his Dao heart would most likely collapse, his cultivation being ruined overnight!


    Therefore, there was no chance!


    But, when Long Hai saw the power of the chaos divine essence, he really coveted it to the extreme!


    If he turned the divine essence in his body into chaos divine essence, even if facing off against a Great Beyond powerhouse, he absolutely would not be at a disadvantageous position too!


    While Long Hui was ashamed and resentful to the extreme, it was too humiliating!


    He was Emperor Vast Heaven!


    No matter what reason, losing to an Emperor Cloud Heaven under the situation where it was a frontal confrontation, it was something unacceptable.


    ��ARGH! Go and die for me!��


    Long Hui bellowed, Emperor Vast Heaven Realm erupting completely, clashing together with Ye Yuan.


    Bang, bang, bang ��


    As if having agreed to it, the two people both did not utilize powerful martial techniques. Both chose to fight to the bitter end!


    Long Hui wanted face. Ye Yuan did not even utilize martial techniques. So did he have the face to use them?


    But the outcome of wanting face was very tragic.


    Ye Yuan threw one punch after another against him, shocking until his innards were almost exploding!


    In an instant, Long Hui experienced an illusion.


    What he was facing was not an Emperor Cloud Heaven but an Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    No matter how he erupted, he was suppressed mercilessly!


    During the first ten moves, he could still barely manage to hold out.


    After ten moves, he spurted fresh blood wildly.


    With each exchange, a large mouthful of blood would be spurted.


    With one exchange, another large mouthful of blood was spurted.


    During the 17th move, Long Hui spurted seven large mouthfuls of blood in a row, having a fist slammed onto his chest.


    Long Hui was defeated!


    Long He could not bear to look straight at it and said with a sigh, ��Long Hui this guy, his face is still too thin! Keeping up appearances to cover up his predicament!��


    The others nodded one after another, deeply feeling that way too.


    Please, already being shameless, what did you still want face for?


    If you were not a match in a frontal confrontation, didn��t you freaking know how to use your ultimate move?


    Done fighting a battle, Ye Yuan felt refreshed, his condition reaching its peak. He actually felt an impulse to be itching to have a go.


    This kind of clash was very refreshing.


    When everyone saw it, they could not help being speechless.


    This guy got addicted to fighting!


    However, with just this fight, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.


    Chaos divine essence was too impressive!


    The current Ye Yuan absolutely had the capital to have a fight with Emperor Vast Heavens!


    ��Actually, I also really want to test the power of chaos divine essence. Just nice, you guys came knocking on the door. Just take it as letting me try it out. Who��s next?�� Ye Yuan said excitedly.


    ��Me!�� Chao Feng Clan��s young patriarch, Long Zhu, stepped forward.


    ��Alright, I��m coming!��


    With a swoosh, Ye Yuan directly disappeared.


    Long Zhe��s expression changed drastically, the power of rules surging. A hurricane rose from the ground up.


    His figure also immediately dissipated where he stood.


    All of a sudden, countless sword lights swiped the sky.


    Sword rain that filled the sky, completely locking down this region of space.


    Amidst the sword rain, a fierce gale surged, sounds of metal clashing emitting from time to time.


    It seemed like that gust of wild wind wanted to break free from the constraints of the sword rain, but no matter what he did, he could not break free.


    The Universe Sword Formation was like a steel shackle, locking the hurricane inside that area of space.


    ��Too strong! This chaos divine essence increased the power of the sword formation by at least several dozen times!��


    ��Long Zhu has already unleashed all of his means, but there��s completely no chance!��


    ��No, Long Zhu still has a last resort! It looks like he��s going to use it!��


    �� ��


    Before the voice faded, an aura of chaos erupted from the sword formation.


    ��Heavenly River Outbreak!��


    It was only to hear Long Zhu roar inside the Sword Formation. The sword formation emitted a burst of sound that was extremely grating on the ears.


    Two extremely strong forces tore space to shreds.


    What the Chao Wind Clan inherited was the talent of wind.


    As the young patriarch, Long Zhu naturally inherited a chaos innate divine ability too.


    This move, Heavenly River Outbreak, was the chaos innate divine ability!


    When Long Zhu stepped into the realm of Hegemon in the future, if this move shattered the void, slaughtering tens of thousands of people would be a cinch too.


    However, what disappointed people was that the sword formation did not budge an inch!


    The expressions of the other eight great young patriarchs changed over and over again, already feeling shocked to the extreme.


    Previously, they said that they wanted to witness the power of the chaos divine essence.


    Now, they saw it.


    This was a might that had no weakness to exploit!


    The other few people were a little stronger than Long Zhu, but they were not much stronger too.


    They touched their own hearts and felt that being inside this sword formation, they would simply be at the end of their rope!


    Chaos innate divine ability was their final pride.


    But, after using the final pride, he could not even make the sword formation waver a little.


    This was too demoralizing!


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Only to hear a series of scratching sounds that were grating on the ears coming out of the sword formation.


    Those swords seemingly sliced on their bodies.


    Thud!


    Long Zhu fell to the ground powerlessly, without the strength to fight anymore.


    The whole place was deathly silent.


    Ye Yuan withdrew his divine ability, very satisfied with the power of the Universe Sword Formation.


    If not for chaos divine essence, Ye Yuan��s Universe Sword Formation would have crumbled in one exchange.


    The strength of the dragon race��s young patriarch was not for show.


    But, under chaos divine essence, the Universe Sword Formation was as steady as Mount Tai!


    Even if Long Zhu used Heavenly River Outbreak, the Universe Sword Formation was as unmoving as a mountain too!


    Long Hai opened his mouth wide. The heat in his eyes could not be hidden no matter what.


    ��L-Long Jian, do we really have no chance? I �� I��m unwilling!�� Long Hai gnashed his teeth and said.


    Long Jian��s two eyes were blood-red too. He wished to scatter his cultivation right away now, and then acknowledge Ye Yuan as master.


    This chaos divine essence was really too strong!


    ��No way! Can��t be impulsive! Scattering cultivation will kill you!�� Long Jian urged Long Hai non-stop, as well as telling this to himself.

 Chapter 3014 - Fusing Bloodlines, Shocking Change!

    ��Is this the strength of the young patriarchs? I even thought that I could enjoy it to my heart��s content. But it seems to be somewhat disappointing!�� Ye Yuan looked at the Long Zhu, who collapsed on the ground, and shook his head as he said with a sigh.


    The expressions of Long He and the few others were very ugly. This was really a public face-slapping.


    Originally thought that dealing with an Emperor Cloud Heaven would be effortless, who could have thought that he would be so strong!


    This was really kicking onto a metal plate.


    Long He��s expression turned dark, and he said, ��What you used were all human race techniques! Could it be that our Dragon CLan is going to be ruled by a human in the future?��


    ��Ye Yuan, we view you as family; it��s because of your dragon race bloodline, and not human!��


    ��If you want to become the young patriarch, you��ll have to use bloodline talent to prove yourself!��


    These words were really shameless.


    Just now, they said that they wanted to witness the power of the chaos divine essence. Alright, now that they could not win, they wanted to compete in bloodline.


    Rustling sounds came from the crowd. Clearly, they felt a great loss in face too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    But they were still opposed to Ye Yuan becoming their young patriarch.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing when he heard and said, ��Looks like you all are planning to give up and act recklessly! However, I��m very stubborn! If you��re not convinced, I��ll beat you until you��re convinced! You all want to compete in bloodline, don��t you? Okay, I��ll compete with you guys!��


    The moment these words came out, Long He and the rest were overjoyed in their hearts.


    This boy was really easy to dupe!


    Competing in bloodline, wouldn��t we crush you?


    It would not be to an extent that you were also peak heaven qian grade bloodline, right?


    Even if you were really peak heaven qian grade, you were a major cultivation realm below us!


    Crushing you was an easy thing!


    Of course, this sort of words, they were not easy to say out.


    Either way, Ye Yuan himself agreed. As long as they defeat him, everything would be fine!


    Long He slowly stepped out and said coolly, ��Alright. This time, I��ll compete with you!��


    Whoosh!


    There was a commotion in the crowd.


    ��This �� I seriously can��t watch anymore! Upper Emperor Vast Heaven against upper Emperor Cloud Heaven, how does he have the cheek?��


    ��This is too much! Why didn��t I discover before that Long He is so shameless?��


    ��Ye Yuan has already backed down time and again. Long He is still reaching for a yard after taking an inch! Don��t tell me that this is called a fair fight too?��


    �� ��


    Although everyone felt that Ye Yuan being the dragon race��s young patriarch was not reliable, Long He was indeed too much.


    Chaos divine essence was strong. This was already evident to all.


    Long He spurred Ye Yuan on, making him bind both his hands, not allowing him to use chaos divine essence.


    Now, Ye Yuan was using bloodline power, and he was also oppressing Ye Yuan with cultivation realm.


    This �� a brilliant play!


    Ye Yuan was indifferent. Taking two small bottles out, he smiled and said, ��Forget it. Originally, I was planning to go into closed-seclusion. But, since you want to compete in bloodline power, I��ll fulfill your wish then!��


    Finished saying, he directly absorbed the two drops of blood essence into his body.


    Boom!


    The violent bloodline power instantly erupted.


    Four great bloodlines caused a huge reaction within Ye Yuan��s body all at once.


    Four fearsome forces rose to the sky. The entire Heavenly Dragon Island had a fierce gale that started howling.


    With this, everyone was shocked!


    ��Eh, that seems to be the blood essence that Progenitor extorted from Bai Zhi and Xuan Taiqing, right?��


    ��Ye Yuan directly swallowed it? He��s going to fuse two kinds of bloodlines at once?��


    ��It��s not two! It �� It��s four! Is this guy crazy? He��ll blow up and die!��


    �� ��


    The moment his aura was released, people discovered to their shock that it turned out Ye Yuan actually already had two kinds of bloodlines in his body!


    Now, Ye Yuan actually collected Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, four great bloodlines!


    Furthermore, he was going to merge them together at the same time!


    This way of doing things was really too crazy!


    No one dared to fuse these four kinds of bloodlines at the same time. The berserk chaos energy would directly blow people up.


    Even the most talented bloodline warrior did not dare as well!


    This approach was no different from committing suicide.


    Yet, Ye Yuan did it!


    When Long Hai saw the situation, he could not help laughing as he said, ��This boy is really tired of living! He actually wants to fuse four great supreme chaos bloodlines at the same time?��


    But Long Jian��s expression became strange, and he said, ��That��s not right! It turns out that Progenitor left behind these two races�� bloodline for Ye Yuan! Doesn��t that mean that Progenitor is planning to see Ye Yuan fusing the bloodlines?��


    Long Hai��s expression changed, and he said, ��How is this possible? In this world, it��s impossible for anyone to fuse the four great bloodlines together!��


    But Long Jian disagreed and shook his head and said, ��Didn��t you notice that Ye Yuan has already perfectly fused the dragon and phoenix, two races�� bloodlines?��


    Long Hai was shocked, only then noticing that he had overlooked this.


    Without a doubt, Progenitor valued Ye Yuan very much.


    For his sake, he even did not balk at offending the Hegemons of all the heavens!


    Then it was impossible for Progenitor to watch Ye Yuan send himself to death, unless he was sure that Ye Yuan could perfectly fuse the four great bloodlines!


    But how was this possible?


    The two great Supreme Hegemons had both fallen into immense shock.


    Within Ye Yuan��s body, bloodlines boiled over!


    All the blood in his body was like boiling water, jostling against the meridians in his entire body until it was almost exploding.


    However, Ye Yuan was long prepared for this situation.


    In the Dao sword, the origin of blood flowed out and started to draw the four great bloodlines together.


    Then it continuously mixed them.


    Like everyone, Long He also thought that Ye Yuan was bringing about his own doom.


    But, along with the passage of time, he discovered that Ye Yuan��s aura had gradually stabilized.


    The four great bloodlines actually showed signs of merging together.


    His expression changed, figure moving explosively, attacking Ye Yuan!


    ��Stop!�� Long Jian��s angry cry came from the void.


    At the same time, he was about to make a move to stop Long He.


    ��It��s fine. Let him come over!�� Ye Yuan endured the immense pain and said lightly.


    Long Jian��s brows furrowed, and sure enough, he stopped taking action.


    Boom!


    The place where Ye Yuan was standing directly had a large hole smashed out.


    But he was long gone.


    Ye Yuan��s aura was still climbing frenziedly.


    Above the void, the phantoms of the four great chaos true spirits were currently condensing gradually.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Long He��s strength was formidable.


    But unfortunately, his movement technique was still too slow.


    Ye Yuan possessed the chaos divine essence. When executing spatial rule, his speed was swift to the extreme.


    As long as he did not confront Long He head-on, Long He could not catch up at all.


    ��Ye Yuan, what kind of hero are you considered if you avoid like this and not fight!�� Long He shouted angrily.


    Depressed!


    He, a dignified upper Emperor Vast Heaven, actually could not catch up to an Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    ��Hur hur, no rush. You��ll be crying in a while!�� Ye Yuan said with a light laugh.


    At this time, the four great bloodlines within Ye Yuan��s body gradually had laws of operation under the guidance of the origin of blood.


    Four kinds of bloodlines formed one tiny whirlpool after another in Ye Yuan��s meridians.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the four great bloodlines directly fused together.


    A surging power of chaos erupted within Ye Yuan��s body!


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned intent, and he actually felt the power of chaos divine essence!


    He was overjoyed in his heart. The fusion of the four great bloodlines actually had such a miraculous effect!


    He hurriedly revolved the Chaos Heaven Trampling Skill, guiding the chaos divine essence.


    And in the outside world, Ye Yuan��s aura was rising crazily, directly reaching grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven!


    Boom!


    Above the void, the Door of Eternal Life appeared once again!

 Chapter 3015 - You All Play by Yourselves, as Long as You’re Happy!

    ��Door of Eternal Life! He��s going to assault Emperor Vast Heaven!��


    Only to see Ye Yuan slam a punch out, chaos divine essence gushed out like tidewater, smashing onto the first seal like a cannon shell.


    Everyone��s expression changed. They felt an impact that defied all comparison!


    Boom!


    The first seal opened in response!


    ��It opened? This is also a little too easy, right?��


    ��Isn��t it that easy? You think about it. When he was upper Emperor Cloud Heaven previously, he already beat the nine great young patriarchs until they didn��t have the strength to fight back!��


    ��With four great bloodlines fusing, it made me feel an endless power! It��s as if this power came out of the Door of Eternal Life!��


    ��It turns out that the four great bloodlines fusing is the power of chaos?��


    �� ��


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Smashing open the first seal with a punch, it was too simple.


    Ye Yuan felt a sacred aura overflowing from the Door of Eternal Life, flowing into his body.


    It was as if he had ascended to a higher level too.


    ��Is this the power of the Door of Eternal Life? Indeed miraculous! Just what is at that end of the Door of Eternal Life? No wonder every Hegemon Realm yearns to transcend the Great Beyond. This divine power seriously makes people yearn for it!��


    Feeling this divine aura, Ye Yuan could not help feeling vicissitudes of emotion.


    In the past, he did not understand.


    But now, he somewhat understood.


    The Hegemons could transcend samsara, could shatter the void with martial arts, and could surmount all life.


    But, this Door of Eternal Life was like a shackle, locking them in this region of chaos.


    This was a door that led to a new world, but they were unable to pass through.


    Rumble ��


    Endless tribulation clouds condensed above the void.


    Dao tribulation arrived again!


    The sky was a pitch dark mass, giving people an extremely gloomy feeling.


    Anyone also knew that the power of this Dao tribulation was not small.


    Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, the Dao sword condensing in his hand.


    The surging chaos divine essence poured into the Dao sword in its entirety.


    Hence, he swung his sword and pointed straight at the firmament.


    An incomparably swift and fierce sword light directly split the sky into two!


    Boom!


    The tribulation clouds scattered with a loud bang!


    His strength already far surpassed the power of the Dao tribulation.


    This level of Dao tribulation could not pose a threat to him anymore.


    However, Ye Yuan also knew that the day that he broke through to Hegemon, Heavenly Dao would definitely do its best to stop him.


    At that time, it would definitely be the power of destruction!


    The tribulation of Hegemon was when he would truly fight with Heavenly Dao.


    At this time, Ye Yuan held the Dao sword in his hand, standing in the air with unparalleled splendor, blinding everyone��s eyes.


    Even Hegemons could not be as free and easy as him too, cutting the Dao tribulation down above the firmament!


    Long He��s expression was ashen. He discovered that he was simply a weakling in front of Ye Yuan.


    His provocative action today was completely in order to help Ye Yuan achieve his aim.


    The current Ye Yuan looked like a great hero of his generation no matter how one looked at him, lording over the world!


    Meanwhile, he was the stepping stone beneath the foot of the overlord!


    Ye Yuan retracted his gaze, landed on Long He��s body once more, and he said coolly, ��Long He, you asked me to use bloodline power to have a battle with you. Receive my move then!��


    Long He instinctively wanted to refuse, but Ye Yuan did not give him a chance at all. He already threw a punch over.


    Boom!


    It seemed to be an ordinary punch, but the four great true spirit bloodline powers in Ye Yuan��s body erupted at the same time.


    Then it condensed into an incomparably sacred power of chaos, smashing over toward Long He.


    Long He��s expression changed drastically, feeling like the sky had fallen down.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he directly brought out his chaos innate divine ability!


    ��Heavenly Thunder Change!��


    With a bellow, a clap of thunder out of Long He��s mouth, blasting until everyone��s eardrums hurt.


    The moment the clap of thunder came out, a destructive aura poured out.


    And right at this time, Ye Yuan��s fist had arrived!


    Boom!


    A loud bang, ten times louder than Long He��s clap of thunder.


    Long He��s clap of thunder was actually forcibly smashed back by Ye Yuan!


    The power of chaos was unstoppable!


    It was only to hear Long spurt out a large mouthful of blood with a cough, directly being smashed underground by Ye Yuan.


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air, looking toward Ye Yuan in horror.


    This punch was strong until it made people��s hearts palpitate!


    Among the nine great young patriarchs, Long He was the oldest, and his strength was the greatest.


    Upper Emperor Vast Heaven, coupled with chaos innate divine ability, he was absolutely not what ordinary people could jump realms to fight.


    But Ye Yuan seemed to have unleashed the power of great antiquity, smashing Long He��s innate divine ability back with one punch!


    ��S-So strong! The fusion of the four symbols true spirit bloodlines, such an ordinary punch actually erupted with such horrifying power! This boy is going to defy the heavens!�� Long Hai said in shock.


    The power of this punch was naturally very weak to him.


    But, to an Emperor Vast Heaven, it was ridiculously strong.


    This was because Ye Yuan did not use any method at all. He just released the pressure of his fusion bloodline and threw out an ordinary punch.


    But, it was this ordinary punch that leapfrogged two minor realms, thrashing Young Patriarch Long He until he did not have an unscathed spot on his body!


    It could be imagined that if Ye Yuan was in the same realm as him, he could blow him up with one punch!


    Furthermore, he clearly felt the power of the Door of Eternal Life from that punch earlier.


    This power did not originate from the Door of Eternal Life but the fusion of the four great bloodlines!


    Long Jian similarly said in shock, ��The fusion of the four great bloodlines can actually give off the power of the Door of Eternal Life? Doesn��t this mean that the four great true spirits�� bloodlines actually have some kind of connection with the Door of Eternal Life?��


    Long Hai and Long Jian were both frightened by this conjecture.


    For so many years, the four clans had gone about their own ways and even went on expeditions against each other.


    But he did not expect that the fusion of these four powers could actually produce such a fantastical effect.


    Long Hai said, ��If that��s the case, if the four great progenitors joined hands, can they open the Door of Eternal Life?��


    Long Jian��s expression changed, and he shook his head and said, ��This �� is hard to say, but this is too dangerous! The Door of Eternal Life grants us power, but it��s also extremely dangerous!��


    Long Hai��s expression also became ugly. But this temptation was really great!


    Just as everyone was in shock, Long He crawled out from underneath the earth.


    Fresh blood sprayed wildly from his body; he was very miserable.


    Half of this was the power of Ye Yuan��s punch. The other half was the power of his Heavenly Thunder Change��s smothered explosion.


    Urgh, it was completely borne by him.


    ��You �� You won! From now on, the nine of us won��t compete for the position of young patriarch anymore! The dragon race��s young patriarch is yours!�� Long He said weakly.


    The other eight also had dimmed faces.


    They had fought for so many years. In the end, it was snatched away by a guy who popped out from god knows where.


    To say that there was no reluctance, that was impossible.


    But Ye Yuan��s strength and potential were really beyond strong.


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, ��You guys keep competing. Take it as if I don��t exist! I won��t fight for whatever dragon race young patriarch. You guys also don��t need to worry that Senior Mi Tian will confer me the position of young patriarch. This is because he knows that I��m not interested in this at all. Uh, you all play by yourselves, as long as you��re happy.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan left with his hands behind his back, looking very natural and unrestrained.


    The remaining group of people had dumbfounded faces. You beat until so miserably when you were not freaking vying for it?


    Hang on! It seems like this guy said that he was not fighting for it from the start!


    It was just that, at that time, nobody believed it at all.

 Chapter 3016 - : Responsibility!

    ��Hahaha ����


    When Mi Tian heard about the matter of the nine clans�� young patriarchs, he burst out laughing and said, ��Ye Yuan that boy, forget about whatever young patriarch, even if this progenitor gave this position of progenitor to him, he won��t even look at it in his eyes!��


    Long He and the rest who were kneeling on the ground could not help breaking out into a cold sweat.


    It turns out that what Ye Yuan said were heartfelt words!


    Yet, none of them believed it at all!


    Furthermore, Progenitor did not have any intention of letting Ye Yuan be whatever young patriarch at all.


    This �� it was really asking for a rebuff, and they even lost so much face.


    ��P-Progenitor, forgive our mistake!�� Long He and the rest broke out in heavy sweat.


    ��The few of you, put more thoughts into cultivation is the right path! The calamity of the blood race will soon sweep throughout all the heavens. Time won��t wait for us!�� Mi Tian said in earnest.


    ��Yes, Progenitor!�� Long He and the others perspired from embarrassment and withdrew.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Once everyone left, Long Jian complained with a black face, ��Progenitor, Ye Yuan that boy is too condescending! I sent people to call him over, saying that you came back. He��s actually making you go over in person! Hanging around that bunch of monsters all day, fiddling with those medicinal pills of his, how preposterous!��


    Mi Tian smiled when he heard that and said, ��Hur hur, when this boy starts tinkering with medicinal pills, he doesn��t recognize his closest relatives! But this boy is a man of his word. He once promised to save those bloodline warriors. He��ll definitely do his best! Furthermore, he has fused with the four great true spirit bloodlines now. Maybe he had some unexpected gains. Come on, go and take a look together.��


    Long Jian was dispirited. He felt that Progenitor pampered Ye Yuan too much.


    This boy belonged to that kind that went from bad to worse.


    If you gave him face, his tail could curl up to the sky!


    Also, not cultivating properly and tinkering with those medicinal pills, what was the damn use?


    To them, this kind of chaos true spirits, they actually did not think too highly of heavenly pills.


    Their bloodlines were powerful, and they were extremely talented. Cultivating was also very fast.


    The two people quietly came to Ye Yuan��s closed-seclusion area. Ye Yuan was currently mustering his energy like a mountain, Great Dao contending. Amidst the nirvanic rebirth fire, a heavenly pill was currently gradually condensing.


    By now, Ye Yuan��s pill refinement had already become somewhat casual.


    Back then, Cloudmount��s flower blooming with one hand, one thought, opened another door in Alchemy Dao for Ye Yuan.


    As the saying went, there was nothing that could not be refined in the world. Ye Yuan already had a preliminary understanding of it.


    And Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven could really be said to be the paradise of heavenly alchemists.


    Heavenly Dragon Island��s heavenly medicines had a huge variety of strains, with the quality being extremely good. Ye Yuan simply felt like it was inexhaustible.


    During these few days that Mi Tian was not around, he had been in closed-seclusion the whole time to study bloodlines. Now, he finally had some leads.


    ��Condense!��


    Ye Yuan gave a cold cry; the pill formed!


    Behind him, Zhao Yue brought three months and sat up straight on the ground, like pets.


    They completely did not understand what Ye Yuan was doing, the look in their eyes somewhat vacant.


    But Zhao Yue��s eyes held some light.


    He still had a residual trace of intelligence remaining. There was a trace of desire to return in the depths of his heart.


    Hence, the look in his eyes became bright.


    ��The bloodlines in their entire bodies have already been broken. Even their origin divinities have been corroded too, they already can��t be considered human anymore! No matter how formidable the heavenly pill, it can��t save them too! Kid, you��re wasting time!�� Long Jian spoke up.


    Ye Yuan ignored him, directly stuffing the heavenly pill into the mouth of one of the bloodline warriors.


    That bloodline warrior stuck his tongue out, rubbing against Ye Yuan��s trouser legs as if ingratiating himself, just like a little doggy.


    Ye Yuan��s heart could not help aching. In his view, a person��s most valuable thing was dignity!


    A scholar prefers death to humiliation!


    But Mi Zhen and Dragonsand and the rest trampled these people��s dignity ruthlessly underfoot.


    Mi Tian had spent a long time with Ye Yuan. How could he not understand what he was thinking?


    He sighed slightly and said, ��Mi Zhen deserves to die. If you want to kill him, I won��t stop you!��


    Long Jian��s expression changed, and he looked toward Mi Tian in shock as he said, ��Progenitor, this ����


    Mi Tian waved his hand and said, ��Heavenly Dragon Island is far removed from the masses and reality. How can it understand the hardships of all life? When this progenitor roamed the heavens, fooling around all the time, I never placed them in my eyes at all too. But, after dying once and falling into damnation for hundreds of thousands of years, this progenitor has already seen through many principles. This progenitor learned many things from Ye Yuan.��


    He really learned a lot from Ye Yuan.


    Such as responsibility!


    He was the dragon race��s progenitor, but the vast majority of the time, he fooled around in the mortal world, throwing the Dragon Clan��s affairs to Mi Zhen.


    He had never really shouldered the Dragon Clan��s responsibility before.


    But Ye Yuan?


    In the war that swept throughout the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Ye Yuan was merely an ant.


    However, he assumed the responsibility that he should not have shouldered, defending the human race time and again.


    This shouldering of responsibility made Mi Tian feel great respect.


    It was also precisely because of this responsibility that he would insist on sending him back.


    If it were others, could they have done it?


    These people had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.


    He originally could have discarded them away after finishing making use of them. This was also the least troublesome method.


    But Mi Tian knew that it was impossible.


    It was because they had already become a responsibility to Ye Yuan!


    Long Jian was shocked!


    He discovered that Progenitor became very different from before!


    He had always thought that Ye Yuan was the successor that Progenitor appointed.


    But now, he felt that Progenitor and Ye Yuan seemed more like bosom friends who swore to live or die together.


    It was just that this kind of sensation was too ridiculous.


    A Great Beyond Realm overlord being friends with a junior who was just Emperor Vast Heaven Realm?


    In the cultivation world, cultivation realm was the greatest gulf.


    Emperor Vast Heaven and Emperor Vast Heaven could become friends, but it was absolutely impossible for Emperor Vast Heaven and Emperor Sakra Heaven to become friends.


    That was the difference in level, no question being asked.


    But Mi Tian and Ye Yuan had clearly broken this wide chasm.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and shook his head and said, ��His life and death had better be left to Zhao Yue they all! I think nobody is more qualified to determine his life or death than Zhao Yue they all.��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��All right. Do you really have confidence?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Their situation is very complicated. It��s a little hard. However, I have some leads.��


    Long Jian��s mouth curled. Clearly, he still did not believe it.


    Reconstructing was harder than destroying. Wanting to let these people recover back to new, it was really harder than ascending to heaven.


    To some extent, they were already another form of organism.


    Therefore, although Mi Tian was very familiar with Ye Yuan��s methods, he still somewhat doubted it.


    Right at this time, that bloodline warrior suddenly fell to the ground in agony, spasming non-stop on the ground.


    ��ARGHHH ���� The bloodline warrior let out miserable cries that struck the heart.


    And some of the thorns and claws on his body were actually retrograding!


    When Long Jian saw this scene, his eyes could not help going wide, and he cried out in shock, ��This �� How is this possible?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��Nothing is impossible. There��s no fixed law in the world. Since he can become like this, there��s naturally a way to turn him back too. It just depends on whether or not one can find the correct method. However �� it seems to still be somewhat lacking!��


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan could not help sighing lightly.


    Sure enough, that bloodline warrior��s retrogression stopped.


    However, most of the monster forms on his body were already gone.


    Ye Yuan went up to inspect the bloodline warrior, absorbed in thought.

 Chapter 3017 - Saint Force!

    ��Although they all became like this, the blood race��s understanding of true spirit bloodlines has clearly reached an extremely profound level! Now that they have obtained the four clans�� chaos grade bloodlines, the time for the Chaos Bloodstone to come into being will probably be greatly shortened!��


    Finished inspecting the bloodline warrior, Ye Yuan had a solemn look on his face as he said.


    It was true that these bloodline warriors were defective goods. But their combat strength had soared significantly!


    Especially Zhao Yue, his strength approached Supreme Hegemon!


    This kind of method could not be accomplished casually.


    Mi Tian said, ��I don��t have confidence in beating that Blood Two!��


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Just a clone is already so strong? Senior, then do you feel that he can really transcend the Great Beyond1?��


    Mi Tian smiled bitterly and said, ��Whether or not he can transcend the Great Beyond, nobody knows either! There was once a Great Beyond powerhouse who attempted to pass through the Door of Eternal Life, but the price was perishing and his Dao dissipated! Therefore, everyone guesses that only by completely pushing open the Door of Eternal Life can one reach the Great Beyond! But this is also merely a speculation, that��s all! Because nobody can push open the Door of Eternal Life fully! Samsara that old thing should be about there. If the Chaos Bloodstone comes into being, I think he can do it too! As for whether or not he can transcend the Great Beyond, there��s no way of knowing!��


    Great Beyond powerhouses were existences that pushed open the Door of Eternal Life!


    The moment the Door of Eternal Life opened, Hegemon Realm powerhouses would be able to communicate with Heavenly Dao. Every movement and action carried a sacred aura.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Therefore, their strength was significantly greater than Hegemon Realms.


    However, the vast majority of Great Beyond powerhouses only pushed half of the door open.


    Meanwhile, the powerhouses who pushed open the other half as well were all the strongest existences in this world[2.To clarify, olden days manors in ancient China have massive doors that were made up of left and right sides. You��ll have to push up both sides in order to fully open the ��door��.]!


    Only those who reached this realm, could truly have the qualifications to pursue transcendence.


    Mi Tian was currently pushing open the other half of the Door of Eternal Life. Therefore, his strength was stronger than Hegemon Kong Nie and Hegemon Qian Yu!


    ��But, what��s certain is that, once the Door of Eternal Life is completely opened, one��s strength will definitely have a qualitative leap! At that time, I��m afraid that Samsara that old thing won��t be his match anymore either!�� Mi Tian added on.


    Ye Yuan sighed and said, ��Having obtained the four great chaos grade bloodlines, there��s practically no suspense in him completely pushing open the Door of Eternal Life!��


    Mi Tian��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��What have you found?��


    Bloodline power emerged from Ye Yuan��s body, a vortex formed in his hand, and a sacred aura transmitted over.


    Mi Tian cried out in surprise, ��Saint force! You �� You can actually utilize saint force!��


    Opening the first seal, Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses would be able to mobilize the aura of the Door of Eternal Life to fight the enemy.


    But it was also merely being stained with a trace of aura, that was all.


    Even if it was Hegemon Realm powerhouses, they were unable to employ saint force too!


    Only by pushing open the Door of Eternal Life, becoming a Great Beyond powerhouse, could one use saint force!


    But Ye Yuan was just Emperor Vast Heaven, and he could actually utilize saint force already. How could he not be shocked?


    Long Jian also said in shock, ��What? This �� This is saint force? I even thought that ����


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��Although it��s very weak, it��s saint force. No mistake about it! The two auras are very similar, but the power is poles apart! It��s also no wonder that you didn��t discover it too!��


    When Ye Yuan defeated Long He with one punch, Long Jian felt this power too.


    At that time, he only thought that the move was tainted with the aura of the Door of Eternal Life. But he did not expect that that was genuine saint force!


    Ye Yuan said, ��My dragon race bloodline hasn��t reached peak heaven qian grade yet, so the saint force is still very weak. But the Chaos Bloodstone obtained four great chaos bloodlines. Most likely �� its power is unimaginable!��


    Mi Tian drew a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, ��Who could have thought that after the four great chaos bloodlines fuse together, it will actually have such a terrifying effect? With this, it��s really troublesome!��


    The four great true spirit bloodlines could not be fused at all!


    Therefore, for countless years, nobody could find the connection.


    But there were always exceptions in this world.


    The Chaos Bloodstone was similarly born from chaos. Furthermore, it innately comprehended the most fundamental origin of blood!


    Only he could perfectly fuse the four great true spirit bloodlines together!


    Of course, Ye Yuan was similarly an exception.


    He used the Dao sword to fuse with the origin of blood and virtually possessed the same ability as the Chaos Bloodstone.


    ��Sigh, there��s no news from those three old fellows at all. Now, there��s half-chaos bloodlines appearing. Most likely . .. they are fraught with grim possibilities! If the four of our strengths are gathered, we might have some way to deal with the Chaos Bloodstone,�� Mi Tian said with a sigh.


    ��It��s not necessarily impossible!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Mi Tian��s eyes lit up and he said, ��You have a way to find them?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��It��s not finding them, but that I discovered that chaos grade bloodline might not be insurmountable. It��s just that the conditions are a little too harsh! If there��s a chance, maybe I can upgrade all four bloodlines to chaos grade!��


    ��What?! Kid, food can be anyhow eaten, but words can��t be anyhow said! Chaos grade bloodline has never been born post-natal for countless years! On what basis can you reach chaos grade?�� Long Jian cried out in surprise.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��In the past, there wasn��t. But it doesn��t mean that there won��t be in the future! Then have you seen before an Emperor Vast Heaven that can utilize saint force in the past?��


    Long Jian choked and was immediately rendered speechless.


    He was caught off-guard by this posturing.


    ��This �� This is different! According to you, then wouldn��t each of us from the true spirit race be able to become chaos true spirits?�� Long Jian argued fiercely.


    ��In theory, that��s the case! It��s just that I also said earlier, the conditions are very harsh. The blood race had done research for more than 100 thousand years on Blood Dragon Island. In my view, it��s probably for this! Furthermore, they should have achieved great results. Just look at Zhao Yue, and you��ll know. But what they pursue is combat power. As for the rest, they don��t care at all.�� Ye Yuan said.


    Long Jian and Mi Tian could not help being speechless. However, they felt that what Ye Yuan said was very likely.


    Zhao Yue was originally just an origin powerhouse. He was not even at the Hegemon Realm.


    But now, his combat power approached Supreme Hegemon!


    This kind of leap was simply unimaginable when placed in ordinary times.


    But the blood race did it, didn��t they?


    ��You fused the origin of blood and also gained enlightenment in the Eternal River. Now, you also fused together the four races�� bloodlines. Perhaps, you��re the biggest variable in this calamity! Therefore, if you need any help, feel free to speak up,�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Right now, there��s really something that I need Senior to help with.��


    ��Speak.��


    ��Senior, please send some powerhouses to follow me and charge back to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Mi Tian was taken aback and said with a smile, ��Right, it��s about time. You should go back! Long Jian, bring some people and go along with him.��


    At this time, the bloodline warrior on the ground slowly got up, looking at the surrounding scenery, a blank look on his face.


    But very soon, he seemed to have remembered something. Kneeling before Ye Yuan with a thud, he cried bitterly as he said, ��Your Excellency��s grace of rebirth, Jiang Zhennan will engrave it in my heart! From now on, this lowly one��s life is Your Excellency��s!��


    By the side, Long Jian was incomparably shocked.


    This bloodline warrior actually regained his mental faculties!


    The heavenly pill that Ye Yuan refined was actually so magical?

 Chapter 3018 - Heaven Ones twilight!

    Eastward, twilight.


    On the city walls, Yang Qing was waiting with his legs crossed, eager for battle already.


    It was just that the injuries all over his body and haggard look showed how dreadful his battle was.


    ��Ye Yuan this scoundrel, don��t know where he��s being carefree now either! Tsk tsk, when this punk returns and sees this seat��s current strength, he��ll definitely be shocked until his jaw will hit the ground! At that time, I��ll thrash him brutally. Who asked this guy to always stop me from posturing! Mn, it��s merrily decided like this!��


    When his brain made up the image of pummeling Ye Yuan, the corners of Yang Qing��s mouth curled, very happy.


    In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred years had passed. His cultivation realm rose quickly and already reached upper Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Such a fast cultivation speed, it was rarely seen in the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven too.


    The current Yang Qing had already grown into a war general of the Heaven One Alliance.


    The Emperor Realm powerhouses that died under his name already reached more than a hundred. He could be said to have made brilliant achievements in war!


    Of course, he paid a heavy price too.


    / please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    During the past hundred years, he fought no idea how many times, got injured God knows how many times, and had died who knows how many times already.


    ��Tch, with just the likes of you? Do you believe that when my Big Brother Ye Yuan comes back, he��ll be able to smack you flying with a slap?�� By the side, Jingfei said disdainfully.


    The current Jingfei��s strength could not be underestimated too. She had already stepped into the Emperor Realm.


    And the Big Yellow beside her had already reached grand completion Emperor Cloud Heaven too.


    ��You lass, you��re clearly being stubborn! I admit that Ye Yuan is very formidable. He��s just a little worse than me. But, to say that he can catch up to me within a hundred years, I��m afraid that you don��t believe it too, right? Hahaha ���� Yang Qing said smugly.


    Jingfei rolled her eyes and stopped talking.


    Indeed, Yang Qing��s progress these few years was somewhat terrifying.


    Jingfei also had no choice but to admire this guy��s monstrousness.


    Yang Qing this guy was normally cheeky and frivolous, but his pride was actually really strong.


    Ye Yuan��s existence was like a whip that continuously spurred him on.


    Even if he was not here.


    ��If Young Master wants to thrash you, he doesn��t need to surpass you in cultivation realm. Therefore, you��re definitely not his match.�� Big Yellow supplemented with a stab.


    Yang Qing was indifferent and said with a sneer, ��Just based on this sentence of yours, I��ll definitely beat him until he can��t get up!��


    Right at this time, a voice sounded out at an inappropriate timing.


    ��You all are thinking too much. That brat has probably long died at some other planes! Furthermore, he��s humanity��s traitor. Even if he really returns, then he��s also our enemy! This seat will definitely finish him off for good!��


    Swoosh!


    Yang Qing��s spear tip was already pressed on the other person��s throat, and he said coldly, ��Qing Shan, if you want to court death, try saying another word!��


    Qin Shan smiled and said, ��He��s a traitor. This is already the final verdict that the various Hegemons have concluded. Could it be that it can still be fake? Even if you kill me, it can��t change this fact too!��


    ��Big Brother Ye Yuan is not a traitor! He��s Heaven One Alliance��s great hero!�� Jingfei said.


    ��Yes, I admit that he has done very great things! But, him being controlled by the blood race��s progenitor, this is an undeniable fact! It��s no use even if you guys deny it,�� Qin Shan shrugged and said with a smile.


    Back then, Qin shan was slapped time and again by Ye Yuan in the Extreme Medicine Sect. He was still very unhappy with Ye Yuan.


    Now, the Absolute Heaven Barrier had already been breached and the Heaven One alliance was facing imminent danger. He had no choice but to go to the front line too.


    The city where they were at was called West Sun City. It was a stronghold of the human race.


    Ten years ago, the Absolute Heaven Barrier collapsed with a loud bang, several Hegemons fell, and Heaven One Alliance was in a precarious situation.


    In ten years, the alliance��s defensive line fell back time and again, looking as if it was going to be a complete collapse.


    West Sun City was one of the remaining strongholds.


    Suddenly, one powerful aura after another approached from afar.


    Yang Qing��s gaze turned cold, and he pulled back his spear and said in a solemn voice, ��The blood race has come. There��s work to do again! Qin Shan, I hope that you die at the hands of the blood race.��


    Qin Shan smiled and said, ��You too!��


    Yang Qing laughed and said, ��What kind of desperate situation hasn��t you Grandpa Qing encountered before? With just the likes of this bunch of trash, they can kill me? Rather it��s you who��s too weak!��


    Qin Shan��s mouth curled, and he stopped talking.


    He knew that this guy was famous for being a cockroach.


    Every time that he thought that he was dead, he came back again in the end!


    When he was Emperor Cloud Heaven, Yang Qing was ambushed and besieged by more than ten Emperor Realm powerhouses. There was even an Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse among them.


    At that time, everyone thought that he was dead for sure. In the end, this guy was maimed and returned just like that with injuries all over his body, and he even carried a few heads in his hands.


    2


    After that battle, he also broke through the first seal in one go, breaking through to Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Remembering when Yang Qing and Ye Yuan entered the sect back then, they were still both brats.


    In a twinkle, Yang Qing��s cultivation was already on par with him.


    How depressing!


    Suddenly, a figure appeared on top of the city walls abruptly, standing with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance with tightly knitted brows.


    Everyone bowed and said, ��Paying respect to Hegemon Battlesky!��


    ��In this battle, the blood race has overwhelming momentum and power, their strength several times stronger than us! It looks like Hegemon Bufan their side has run into considerable trouble! Behind West Sun City are trillions of living beings. We cannot retreat. Has everyone prepared to fight to the death?�� Hegemon Battlesky said in a solemn voice.


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    �� ��


    Behind him, yells that shook the sky sounded out.


    Hegemon Battlesky was precisely South Qi Giant City��s City Lord back then, Feng Xiaotian!


    When Absolute Heaven Barrier was breached, he finally gained enlightenment on Dao, unlocking the third seal, becoming a Hegemon!


    Now, he was also one of Heaven One Alliance��s leaders.


    ��Okay, this seat is going! I��ll leave the rest to you all!�� Feng Xiaotian only left behind one sentence and left.


    Everyone revealed serious expressions.


    They knew that the situation that Hegemon Battlesky was facing was even harsher than theirs!


    There were three blood race Hegemons that came this time!


    ��Kill!��


    Yang Qing brandished his long spear and roared angrily, turning into a wisp of green smoke and rushed out.


    It was only to see him taking the lead, clashing together with the blood race��s Emperor Realm powerhouses.


    In a single exchange, three Emperor Cloud Heavens were directly one-shotted by him!


    In the sky, powerhouses blotted out the sun!


    However, the numbers on Heaven One were still far lacking.


    Coupled with the blood race��s undying attribute, Heaven One this side fell into a disadvantageous position very quickly.


    And this time, the Emperor Realm powerhouses that the blood race sent out were also several times more than Heaven One��s.


    Although Yang Qing was strong, he got caught in the encirclement of many Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses very quickly.


    ��Hahaha, you bunch of grandson, really too weak!��


    ��Too light. Are you scratching your Grandpa Qing��s itch?��


    ��Kill! Kill! Kill! You bunch of bloodsuckers, all die for Your Father!��


    ��Qin Shan, you��re too weak! Just how long has it been, and you already can��t make it? If I were you, I��d pray that Ye Yuan can descend from the sky with celestial soldiers right now! Hahaha, I say, if Ye Yuan saves you now, wouldn��t it be very ironic?��


    �� ��


    Yang Qing fought until heaven and earth dimmed, his two eyes bloodshot and the injuries on his body increasing continuously.


    And not far away from him, Qin Shan��s strength was much weaker.


    Under the heavy siege, he began faltering in strength very soon.


    At this time, he already had half his body caved in, his appearance very miserable.


    ��Even if this seat dies, I don��t want to be saved by a traitor too!�� Qin Shan roared angrily.

 Chapter 3019 - Arriving at the Battlefield!

    ��Hahaha �� Feng Xiaotian, we��ve fought for thousands of years! Today, you��re finally going to die! Thinking about it, there��s still some reluctance!�� Above in the sky, Bloodpromise laughed loudly without ceasing.


    Not long after Feng Xiaotian broke through, Bloodpromise also finally broke through to Hegemon Realm.


    Speaking with which, these two were also considered enemies of a lifetime.


    Feng Xiaotian snorted coldly and said, ��If I die, you��ll have to be buried in death with me too!��


    Bloodpromise laughed loudly and said, ��With just the likes of you, you also want to drag me to be buried with you? You��re thinking too much!��


    Feng Xiaotian fought fierce battles repeatedly. The injuries on his body were not light.


    At this time, facing the besiegement of three great Hegemons, he was already lacking in strength, defeat showing.


    Boom!


    Bloodpromise took advantage when Feng Xiaotian and the other two Hegemons were fighting fiercely to suddenly launch a sneak attack, slamming a punch onto his chest.


    Feng Xiaotian��s chest directly had a large hole blown out, blood gushing!


    / Please Keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Feng Xiaotian��s gaze was cold. Clearly, he already had the awareness.


    ��Pffft!��


    Big Yellow was pierced through by a blood race Emperor Cloud Heaven in order to save Jingfei.


    His current strength was very strong, but after consecutive battles, they were long already arrows at the end of their flight.


    This time, the enemy even numbered several times more than them. They could not see hopes of victory at all.


    But nobody backed down.


    Because they already had no path of retreat a long time ago.


    Boom!


    In the chaotic battle, a loud noise was heard.


    The right arm that Yang Qing held his spear directly imploded.


    Enduring the intense pain, only to see his divine essence sweeping, the long spear switching to his left arm as he continued the bloody killing.


    The battle situation was tragic to the extreme.


    ��Qin Shan, you were already at the point of death earlier. Why haven��t you died yet? Is this the legendary scourge that will last a thousand years? Impressive! Impressive!�� Yang Qing said with a look of regret.


    Actually, Qin Shan was not far from death too.


    But, after hearing Yang Qing��s goading, he actually regained some spirit.


    ��You �� F*ck you! You��re the scourge! Your whole family are all scourges! But this time, this seat will see if you still don��t die!�� Qin Shan used all the strength in his body as he roared angrily.


    ��Relax, even if I��m going to die, I��ll also die after you. You won��t get to see it! Haha, I feel that you can still be saved. Pray that Ye Yuan can come back! This punk likes to create some miracles. Maybe he can overcome the raging tides once again.�� Yang Qing said with a loud laugh.


    ��Can��t you freaking live without Ye Yuan anymore? It��s already been over a hundred years. Will you die if you don��t mention Ye Yuan?��


    ��Someone like you won��t understand! If there��s no goal in life, what��s the difference between being alive and being a salted fish? I, Emperor Azuresky, have once been invincible under the heavens. Experts are desolate! This guy is my lifetime enemy. He won��t die so easily!��


    ��A traitor is a traitor! If he comes back, this seat will be the first to kill him!��


    ��Oops, you��re dead!��


    The two people seemed to be bickering effortlessly, but actually, the battle was incomparably dangerous.


    While talking, five blood race Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses had actually formed an encirclement unknowingly.


    With five people attacking at the same time, a terrifying power exploded in an instant!


    Qin Shan was long already at the point of death. Facing such an attack, how could he still block it?


    Yang Qing was still cheeky and frivolous verbally, but a hint of dejection flashed across in his eyes.


    These few years, Qin Shan had also been his comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with him.


    Although this guy was hateful, he would not fall short of requirements when fighting and also would not be a hindrance. He was a real man.


    It was just that everyone had different ideals in the past.


    Boom!


    The place where Qin Shan was standing erupted with a dazzling light, blinding until people felt their eyes blurring.


    ��Haha, human ants are really weak!��


    ��This Qin Shan was really useless. He wass too weak to stand up to competition!��


    ��Yeah, among Emperor Vast Heavens, he��s the weakest! This kind of trash should have long died in our blood race!��


    �� ��


    The few blood race Emperor Vast Heavens could not help but feel pleased with themselves when they killed Qin Shan.


    However, they indeed felt that Qin Shan was very weak.


    On humanity��s side, the most difficult to deal with was Yang Qing.


    ��Weak your mom! Your Father will exterminate you!�� Yang Qing blew his top at once.


    ��Yang Qing, don��t be anxious. The next one will be you!�� An Emperor Vast Heaven said with a loud laugh.


    Very soon, the light dissipated.


    Qin Shan looked at himself with a vacant look and said, ��I �� I��m not dead?��


    All around, the Emperor Vast Heavens were dumbstruck with amazement!


    Beside Qin Shan, a figure stood proudly, and he actually blocked all of the attacks!


    This person said with a light laugh, ��Fortunately, I made it in time!��


    Qin Shan��s entire body shook, and he cried out in surprise, ��I-It��s you! Ye Yuan, you �� you��re back!��


    This person was naturally none other than precisely the Ye Yuan who returned from Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven!


    Passing through the barrier of heavens, Ye Yuan understood the collapse of the Absolute Heaven Barrier very soon.


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s people were currently fighting fiercely in West Sun City.


    Hence, he rushed over without stopping.


    Finally, he made it!


    Yang Qing��s entire body also shook, his gaze revealing a look of astonishment.


    This guy really came back!


    ��Ye Yuan! You��re finally back!��


    ��Haha, I knew that Big Brother Ye Yuan will come back!��


    ��Young Master, it��s really great!�� Big Yellow wept with excitement.


    �� ��


    When everyone saw Ye Yuan return, each and every one of them was extremely agitated.


    Qin Shan��s heart shook violently. Just now, five great Emperor Vast Heavens joining hands, the power was overwhelming!


    Even if it was Yang Qing, he absolutely would not dare to resist it head-on too.


    But Ye Yuan actually blocked it with ease?


    How terrifying was this guy��s strength now?


    Suddenly, Qin Shan could not help feeling bitterness.


    Yang Qing this damn thing was really a jinx!


    Your Father really got freaking saved by Ye Yuan!


    How freaking ironic!


    However �� being able to live was really great!


    ��Eh, isn��t this our Lord Blood Divine Son? I heard that our Lord Blood Divine Son had once overcome the raging tides several times. It��s really amazing! However, you want to turn the tides by coming alone?�� A blood race Emperor Vast Heaven said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan had a great reputation in the blood race.


    Many blood race Emperor Realm powerhouses knew about his existence.


    This Emperor Vast Heaven clearly recognized Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan gave him a nonchalant glance and said, ��Who told you that I came alone? Zhao Yue, you go and help Feng Xiaotian! Jiang Zhennan, kill for me! Spare no one!��


    Talking until the back, Ye Yuan was already seething with killing intent.


    The appearances of Yang Qing and the rest had long already entered his sight.


    Even the naive Jingfei back then was also full of wounds and scars now.


    Ye Yuan did have any favorable impression of the blood race at all.


    The moment his voice faded, one astonishing aura after another suddenly erupted in the distance!


    These auras were berserk to the extreme; incredibly bloodthirsty!


    Then, people saw one monstrous looking creature after another galloping at full speed over here, the speed swift to the extreme.


    ��W-What powerful auras! These guys are all Emperor Sakra Heaven!��


    ��More than half are all origin powerhouses!��


    ��This �� How scary!��


    �� ��


    When the blood race saw this level of impetus, they were actually dumbstruck with fear for some time.


    When those bloodline warriors felt the aura of the blood race, each and every one of them became irascible to the extreme.


    Chi! Chi! Chi!


    Several bloodline warriors tore a few Emperor Sakra Heavens to shreds in one exchange.


    Those few Emperor Sakra Heavens recovered very quickly. They were torn to shreds by the few who caught up with them.


    Hundreds of bloodline warriors charged onto the battlefield with astonishing power, akin to a no man��s land!

 Chapter 3020 - Heaven, Dont Play With Me Like This!

    ��This �� What kind of monster is this?��


    ��These monsters are too brutal! H-Hurry up and run!��


    ��Too strong! Arghhh, save me!��


    �� ��


    No heaven-shocking big moves at all. What these bloodline warriors used was all the most primitive means of killing.


    But it was also due to this that it seemed more brutal and bloody.


    The blood race did not fear death, but at this time, they were scared too!


    There were 800 of such bloodline warriors under Ye Yuan��s leadership. There were more than 500 who were origin powerhouses!


    This kind of army, it was sufficient to sweep away everything under Hegemon Realm.


    Therefore, after they joined the battle, it had nothing to do with the Heaven One army anymore.


    / Please Keep reading on MYBOXN0VEL.COM


    Even if it was the blood race��s origin powerhouses, faced with these bloodline warriors, they would be taken down in a few exchanges too.


    On the Heaven One army��s side, they were completely dumbfounded.


    ��S-So strong! Turns out that you can fight like this!��


    ��For so many years, our fighting with the blood race was really incomparably tragic! But only today did I discover that we��re all refined gentlemen!��


    ��Are these monsters all following Ye Yuan��s orders? This guy indeed created a miracle again!��


    �� ��


    Suddenly, a ferocious gaze swept over, a bloodline warrior suddenly turned around and pounced toward him.


    That Heaven One martial artist pissed his pants with fright, not knowing why the other party would target him.


    Being stared at by the other party, he felt like he had died.


    He did not know that the word ��monster�� had triggered the other party.


    ��Roar!��


    Jiang Zhennan gave an angry roar. Only then did that bloodline warrior stop and turn to charge toward the blood race.


    Actually, they did not need to be commanded at all.


    These bloodline warriors all had an innate hatred for the blood race.


    Furthermore, they were born fighting machines that did not know fatigue at all.


    Want to really talk about combat strength, they were more than ten times that of same rank powerhouses!


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan casually threw out a few heavenly pills and said, ��Hurry up and recover!��


    Yang Qing and the rest directly swallowed it without hesitation.


    ��Humph! You traitor, do you think that by doing so, you can redeem yourself?�� Qin Shan crushed Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill and said with a cold snort.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then, how do I prove that I��m not a traitor?��


    Qin Shan sneered and said, ��Unless you can eradicate the blood race! Otherwise, you have no way of proving at all!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head with a smile and said, ��Okay!��


    Qin Shan was taken aback. Clearly, he did not expect Ye Yuan to agree so simply.


    ��Hur hur, you wouldn��t think that by bringing these monsters back, you��ll be able to eradicate the blood race, right?�� Qin Shan smiled coldly and said.


    ��Roar!��


    Before his voice faded, an angry roar came from the horizon.


    Qin Shan��s pupils constricted. He saw an incredible scene.


    A monster tore a blood race Hegemon to shreds with its bare hands!


    ��H-How can this monster be so strong?�� Qin Shan��s complexion was somewhat pale, his body trembling a little. No idea it was because he was too heavily injured, or because he was intimidated.


    But, this scene of tearing a Hegemon to pieces with its bare hands, it was still too shocking.


    The battle of Hegemons had always been incomparably deadlocked.


    Even if your strength was stronger than the other party, wanting to finish off the opponent was very difficult too.


    But this scene completely subverted their understanding!


    When Feng Xiaotian saw this scene, he was likewise unbelievably shocked.


    Originally, he was already prepared to die. Who knew that someone threw a wrench in the works.


    This monster killed until Bloodpromise three people threw away their helmets and coat of mails. This monster finished off one of the other side��s hegemons in a few exchanges.


    However, that blood race Hegemon recovered again very quickly.


    But the unfortunate thing was that Zhao Yue seemed to take delight in shredding his opponent to pieces without getting tired of it.


    Once the other party recovered, he immediately rushed up and tore the opponent apart again.


    Bloodpromise, this bloodkin, the blood on his face was gone, deathly pale.


    Flee!


    At this time, he only had this one thought.


    Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and ran.


    He could not remember clearly how many times he had run away already.


    However, no matter what, it was still his little life that was important.


    ��Argh! Ye Yuan, are you sent by heaven to punish this seat? How many times? How many times has this been? Why is it always like this every time! Heaven, don��t play with me like this!�� Bloodpromise��s chest was virtually about to explode.


    He had always viewed Feng Xiaotian as his lifelong enemy. But who knew that ever since Ye Yuan came soaring into existence, he had been thrashed over and over again.


    Each time, he would drop everything and run!


    It was great that Heaven One finally managed to have internal strife, chasing Ye Yuan away.


    Who knew that this guy would come back again!


    If he came back, then he came back. But he even brought this group of violent monsters. How did he want people to live?


    He did not dare to imagine what kind of interrogation he would have to face after going back.


    He could not resist turning his head to take a look. Fortunately, Zhao Yue chased after someone else.


    Finally managed to preserve his little life!


    Amidst everyone��s astonished gazes, Zhao Yue killed the two great Hegemons more than ten times over. Finally, they were not unable to revive anymore.


    Then, he wagged his tail and flew to Ye Yuan��s side, squatting at one side docilely.


    From time to time, he even used his monster head to rub against Ye Yuan, like he was fawning on him.


    It was just like the one who tore the Hegemons apart with his bare hands earlier was not him.


    Ye Yuan smiled slightly and rubbed the top of his head a few times, expressing approval.


    Then, Zhao Yue roared twice very ��happily.��


    When Qin Shan saw this scene, his eyeballs popped out!


    Such a brutal monster was actually squatting next to Ye Yuan like a puppy?


    ��Y-Ye Yuan, w-what kind of monster is he?�� Qin Shan could not resist asking.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared, nearly shattering Qin Shan��s internal organs.


    Ye Yuan said, ��He��s called Zhao Yue. Don��t call him a monster. Otherwise, don��t blame me for not being able to save you.��


    Qin Shan swallowed his saliva, feeling like he had gone to the gates of hell and back.


    ��Then, can it prove my innocence now?�� Ye Yuan asked with a smile.


    Qin Shan��s expression changed, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.


    Actually, the suspicions in his heart were already mostly gone.


    Hegemon Realms were not expendable to the blood race either.


    Two Hegemons falling at once, it was a huge loss to the blood race too.


    Now, the Heaven One alliance was already at death��s door. If Ye Yuan really turned traitor, there was no need to do so at all.


    As long as this monster army that he brought stood on the blood race��s side, none of them could think about running away.


    But, to make him put aside his ego to apologize to Ye Yuan, he was incredibly unwilling.


    Therefore, he simply stopped talking.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and threw another heavenly pill to him.


    This time, Qin Shan did not refuse, directly swallowing it in one gulp.


    Ugh �� Ye Yuan��s healing heavenly pills were better than his!


    ��Ye Yuan, you finally came back! It��s really great!�� At this time, Feng Xiaotian came over too. Although the injuries on his body were extremely severe, he did not care at all. Instead, he was very happy when he saw Ye Yuan.


    He and Ye Yuan were considered life-and-death friends too. He never doubted Ye Yuan at all.


    Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said with a smile, ��I haven��t congratulated Brother Feng for becoming Hegemon Battlesky yet!��


    Feng Xiaotian laughed loudly and said, ��You brat, deliberately poking fun at me, is it? This brother that you brought can tear me apart with one hand!��


    He heard the words just now too. So he was very careful with his words.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared loudly, clearly very pleased with himself.

 Chapter 3021 - This Punch isnt Simple!

    At West Sun City��s main camp, more than 800 bloodline warriors were seated neatly at the plaza.


    Valiant and spirited.


    But the Heaven One army powerhouses all stayed far away.


    These guys were too scary, even though everyone knew that they were all their saviors.


    ��Ye Yuan, you tortoise grandson! Today, I, Emperor Azuresky, will definitely trample you underfoot, counterattacking perfectly!�� Above the void, Yang Qing swung his long spear, pointing at Ye Yuan from afar, incomparably domineering.


    Ye Yuan could not help laughing and said, ��Let��s have a match then. Do you need to set up such a grand line-up?��


    Yang Qing snorted coldly and said, ��That��s different! I��m going to defeat you in front of everyone! I��ve already waited a hundred years for this day. How can it be done carelessly? Let them see that I, Emperor Azuresky, am humanity��s strongest person in this era!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said helplessly, ��Directly use your strongest move then. Otherwise, you don��t have the chance.��


    Yang Qing said disdainfully, ��I know that you��re very strong now, but it��s useless! The current me is no longer who I was back then! Today, you don��t stand a chance!��


    Yang Qing naturally saw Ye Yuan blocking the blow for Qin Shan too.

    However, he touched his own heart and felt that in his peak condition, it would not be hard for him to do it too.


    After consuming Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill, his injuries recovered very quickly, and his severed arm also regenerated.


    Hence, he arranged to fight with Ye Yuan without delay.


    Furthermore, he called all of West Sun City��s soldiers out. It was for the sake of witnessing his victory.


    Actually, there was no need for him to summon everyone. This battle was indeed very high-profile.


    Even Feng Xiaotian was also very curious how strong Ye Yuan��s current strength was.


    It was because he kept feeling that he could not quite see through Ye Yuan.


    He, an exalted Hegemon, actually could not see through an Emperor Vast Heaven. How could this not surprise him?


    As for some of the Emperor Realm powerhouses, they had virtually all arrived.


    Without a doubt, these two people were the most outstanding existences among Emperor Realm powerhouses in the current generation.


    Their battle also determined who the title strongest belonged to.


    It was impossible for this battle not to draw attention even if they did not want to.


    ��Who do you guys think is stronger, Emperor Azuresky or Ye Yuan?


    ��Does this still need to be said? Of course, it��s Emperor Azuresky! These few years, how many Emperor Vast Heavens have died at his hands? It can��t even be calculated, right? Ye Yuan��s methods are very strange, but his strength is most likely inferior to Yang Qing.��


    ��Mn, that��s true! Back then, Ye Yuan could jump realms to defeat Yang Qing. But now, he definitely can��t do it! The current Emperor Azuresky is reputed to be the next Hegemon Bufan, his combat strength sweeping across Emperor Vast Heaven! Ye Yuan is just lower Emperor Vast Heaven. Even if he can jump realms to battle, it��s impossible to be his match too.��


    ��While Emperor Azuresky is strong, he just likes to posture too much! He has always viewed Ye Yuan as his greatest rival. This time, he can finally get his wish.��


    �� ��


    Regarding this fight, most people still did not feel optimistic about it.


    It was because, during the past years, Yang Qing��s awe-inspiring reputation was too great.


    No matter how strong the opponent was, he could always beat the opponent.


    Ye Yuan��s talent naturally went without saying. But, it was still easier for people to believe the things in front of them.


    In the crowd, Qin Shan said with a disdainful look, ��Humph! A guy who overestimates his own abilities! Does he think that Yang Qing is still the Yang Qing before?��


    He did not like these two people, but he also admitted that Yang Qing was very strong!


    Incredibly strong!


    ��Ye Yuan, watch closely! This move is the strongest move that this seat comprehended these few years! None has ever survived under this move! Be careful!��


    Suddenly, Yang Qing put away the flippant look. A layer of destructive aura rose up on the tip of the spear.


    He had never underestimated Ye Yuan before.


    This was true, even if Ye Yuan was two minor realms lower than him.


    For Ye Yuan to say so, he naturally had reliance. But Yang Qing also had absolute confidence in himself.


    The current him was really different already.


    The reason why he wanted to publicize the fight to the public, it also originated from precisely this powerful confidence.


    Feeling this destructive aura, Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up too.


    Very strong!


    ��It��s Myriad Dao Annihilation Spear! I didn��t expect that Emperor Azuresky actually directly unleashed his strongest move!��


    ��Under this move, there have never been survivors among Emperor Vast Heaven experts! Isn��t he afraid of killing Ye Yuan in one move?��


    ��I thought that they were just sparring. I didn��t expect that it��s actually for real! With this, Ye Yuan is in trouble!��


    �� ��


    Feng Xiaotian had a look of surprise too. He did not expect that Yang Qing actually directly used his killing move.


    This move was comprehended by Yang Qing in battle. It could be said to be the grand achievement that gathered the Spear Dao and Dao of Destruction!


    Even he also sighed at his own inferiority at the power.


    Back then, Hegemon Bufan had said before that this move showed signs of surpassing him.


    It was also precisely after that incident that Yang Qing was treated as Hegemon Bufan��s successor. His status had no equal for some time!


    Everyone did not expect that Yang Qing actually unleashed such a killing move against his good friend!


    ��Kill!��


    Yang Qing shouted fiercely, a spear tearing across the sky.


    Under a spear, myriad Daos were annihilated!


    The Great Dao rules around him were being completely obliterated!


    Emperor Vast Heaven Realm was unable to mobilize rules at all under this move!


    This move was truly formidable to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��I didn��t expect that you really got much stronger! If I didn��t encounter some lucky chances recently, I would really not have been your match. Yang Qing, watch my punch!��


    There was no overly garish power on his body.


    Four great true spirit bloodlines erupted in full force. A fist punched straight over!


    This punch carried an incomparably sacred aura.


    He did not need to mobilize heaven and earth rules at all. Rules birthed on their own!


    Boom!


    It was only to see Ye Yuan smash a fist over. That destructive aura immediately fell apart!


    Yang Qing spewed out a large mouthful of blood with a cough, his figure flying out like a cannonball.


    One punch defeated Yang Qing!


    ��How is this possible!�� Qin Shan��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock.


    ��How is this possible! That �� That is saint force!�� Feng Xiaotian said in astonishment.


    The entire West Sun City instantly exploded!


    This battle was too fast.


    They thought that this was bound to be a shocking great battle.


    But who knew that the result was so fast.


    Ye Yuan only used one punch and defeated Emperor Azuresky, who was invincible in their hearts!


    ��N-No way, right? Emperor Azuresky is so weak?��


    ��It��s not that Emperor Azuresky is weak. It��s that Ye Yuan is too strong!��


    ��Can��t bear to look straight at it! Yang Qing came up with such a grand line-up. In the end, he didn��t even make it through a punch!��


    ��They are good friends! This also just nicely helped Ye Yuan to achieve an awe-inspiring reputation! Ye Yuan is still that undefeatable Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    At one time, Ye Yuan was the synonym for being invincible in the same rank.


    It was just that along with his departure, this term was replaced by Yang Qing.


    But, with this battle today, Ye Yuan took back this title again.


    What belonged to him ultimately belonged to him!


    ��Ahhh! How is this possible? How can I possibly not even receive a punch of yours? This doesn��t make sense! This doesn��t make sense!�� Yang Qing directly rushed in front of Ye Yuan and pointed at his nose as he said in puzzlement.


    All these years, the invincible confidence that he had built was crushed at this moment.


    It was not that he had not thought of failure before. It was just that he never thought that he would be defeated so thoroughly, unable to even receive a punch from Ye Yuan.


    Moreover, he could tell that Ye Yuan��s punch did not have any martial technique at all. He just erupted with bloodline power and threw out a very ordinary punch.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This punch isn��t simple!��

 Chapter 3022 - Counting the Time, They Should Be Reaching!

    ��Yang Qing, you didn��t lose unjustly! Brother Ye has already comprehended saint force!�� Feng Xiaotian came up and explained.


    Yang Qing��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise as he said, ��Saint force! Isn��t that the power that only Great Beyond powerhouses can utilize? Even Hegemon Bufan can��t do it too! How can this guy do it!��


    Feng Xiaotian did not answer. He waited for Ye Yuan to explain.


    Ye Yuan did not hide it either, recounting the mutation from the four great true spirit bloodlines fusing, making everyone dumbfounded from listening.


    This guy was also a little too amazing, right?


    Disregarding other things, just one of the four great true spirit bloodline blood essences was not what the average person could obtain!


    ��You punk, there��s really no justice anymore!�� Yang Qing said hatefully.


    ��Hehe, I said it long ago, you��re not Big Brother Ye Yuan��s match, but you refused to believe! Now, you lifted up a rock to crush your own foot, right?�� Jingfei said with a scoff.


    Yang Qing snorted coldly and said, ��So what? One day, I��ll trample him underfoot! I, Hegemon Azuresky, am invincible!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��You��ve indeed transformed a lot these few years! Just based on this spear, you��re not worse than Zhuo Bufan!��


    / Please Keep reading on MYBOXN0VEL.COM


    Zhuo Bufan, who was also Heaven One Alliance Bufan, the Heaven One Alliance��s new leader, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s only Supreme Hegemon!


    And this Zhuo Bufan was precisely the powerhouse who walked out of the Rainclear Continent back then!


    Ye Yuan merely left for over a hundred years, but in these hundred years, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven underwent a complete transformation.


    The blood race��s Wang Zuo broke through to Supreme Hegemon, breaking through the Absolute Heaven Barrier.


    Heaven One Divine Lord led Cloudmount and the rest of the Hegemons to fight to the death with the blood race, and eventually died.


    Originally, Heaven One had already reached the end of the road.


    Right at this time, Zhuo Bufan came soaring into existence, separating life and death paths with a sword, breaking through several realms in a row, directly crossing from origin realm to Supreme Hegemon!


    At the critical moment, Zhuo Bufan arrived, fighting to the death with Wang Zuo, and inflicting heavy wounds on Wang Zuo with one sword. That was how it welcomed a respite for Heaven One.


    Otherwise, even if Ye Yuan brought people back, what he would see would also be a Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven that was trampled flat.


    Zhuo Bufan was originally the goal that Ye Yuan pursued. But after arriving at Heaven One, he had not heard about Zhuo Bufan, and he gradually forgot about him too.


    Only when Ye Yuan returned this time did he hear that it turned out Zhuo Bufan had long gone out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier by himself with a sword.


    As for how he survived in the territory of the blood race, nobody knew.


    Everyone only knew that when the Absolute Heaven Barrier was breached, Zhuo Bufan returned alone with a sword again.


    At that time, he was already a mighty expert of the origin realm, the number one person under Hegemon!


    But, not reaching Hegemon, everything was empty talk.


    The battle of a hundred Hegemon Realms, he was merely an ant!


    Nobody expected that just as everyone thought that the Heaven One Alliance��s situation was beyond salvation, Zhuo Bufan broke through several realms consecutively in the midst of battle, directly reaching Supreme Hegemon, writing a legend that would be handed down for generations!


    Originally, this generation��s men of the hour were Feng Xiaotian and Ye Yuan�� eldest senior apprentice brother, Li Clearcloud.


    However, with Zhuo Bufan coming into being, he suppressed everyone��s light.


    But nobody was unconvinced!


    With the Divine Lord falling, Zhuo Bufan became Heaven One��s new leader.


    Such a huge change, Ye Yuan also sighed endlessly when he heard it.


    A hundred years in a haste, it was really, seas change into mulberry fields and mulberry fields into seas!


    However, Ye Yuan was also curious before, why would Zhuo Bufan this kind of great prodigy, fade into the crowd?


    Only now did he know that this guy was ultimately not ordinary!


    However, Ye Yuan saw Zhuo Bufan��s shadow from Yang Qing��s spear!


    That sort of domineeringness of who else could do it but me was absolutely not beneath Zhuo Bufan!


    Being praised by Ye Yuan, Yang Qing rolled his eyes and said, ��Tch, you mean that, Hegemon Bufan and I are inferior to you, eh! You��re really shameless! I, Hegemon Azuresky, won��t give up! No matter how long it takes, I��m going to trample you underfoot!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not speak.


    Yang Qing, this guy, really had the potential to become a powerhouse.


    Ye Yuan knew that he had prepared a long time for this battle today.


    If it were someone else, the blow from this fight would definitely be huge. But, he was not demoralized and was still full of fighting spirit.


    While talking and laughing, a figure flew over from the horizon, falling heavily into West Sun City.


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��It��s Hegemon Clearcloud! Not good! Something has indeed gone wrong at Hegemon Bufan there!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression also changed wildly because he recognized that this person who fell into West Sun City was precisely his eldest senior brother, Li Clearcloud!


    He should currently be with Master Cloudmount and Hegemon Bufan, holding back the blood race��s Hegemons.


    But, this situation before his eyes, something must have happened over at Hegemon Bufan there!


    A group of people hurried over and discovered that Li Clearcloud was already on his dying breath.


    ��Eldest Senior Brother!��


    Li Clearcloud barely managed to open both eyes. Seeing that it was Ye Yuan, a hint of delight flashed across in his eyes!


    ��L-Little Junior Brother, it��s good that you��re back! Good that �� you��re back!��


    Feng Xiaotian said in a solemn voice, ��Brother Clearcloud, what happened? Why are you injured until like this?��


    Li Clearcloud��s breathing was weak as he said, ��Hegemon �� Bloodsky, broke through!��


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��What did you say? Hegemon Bloodsky he, broke through to Supreme Hegemon?��


    Li Clearcloud nodded his head feebly and said, ��He joined hands with Wang Zuo, Hegemon Bufan is �� injured. Master �� fought to the death to escort me out, to have me send a message and let you all �� give up on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Everyone present trembled all over.


    Li Clearcloud spoke intermittently, but they all understood.


    The blood race gave birth to another Supreme Hegemon!


    With two great Supreme Hegemons joining forces, the battle situation at the front line was not optimistic.


    Hegemon Cloudmount they all had fallen into a great crisis.


    Even Li Clearcloud also sustained such serious injuries. The danger of the battle situation could be seen!


    Furthermore, the news that Li Clearcloud brought back was actually to evacuate Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    This showed that the Hegemons in front had already lost all hope!


    Even Zhuo Bufan, this peerless powerhouse, was unable to overcome the raging tides too!


    An aura of despair spread in everyone��s hearts.


    After a long time, Feng Xiaotian heaved a sigh and said, ��Brother Ye, let��s �� go!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Zhao Yue, Brother Feng, let��s go! Go save Master!��


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue roared angrily and arrived next to Ye Yuan.


    Feng Xiaotian nodded his head. But very soon, he reacted to it and said blankly, ��What did you say?��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze was firm as he said, ��I said, let��s go save Master Cloudmount and Zhuo Bufan!��


    Feng Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, ��Ye Yuan, I understand your feelings. But there��s no hope! Two great Supreme Hegemons, we �� have no hope at all!��


    He really lost all hope!


    A Supreme Hegemon, they could still resist.


    But, two Supreme Hegemons. Furthermore, it was even Bloodsky, this spatial origin Hegemon, they really had no hope anymore.


    It must be tragic to the extreme ahead. Otherwise, Hegemon Bufan would not have had Li Clearcloud come back to send the message.


    Ye Yuan ignored Feng Xiaotian and said coolly, ��Counting the time, they should be reaching!��


    Feng Xiaotian was stupefied again and said, ��Reaching? Who��s reaching? Ye Yuan, I really understand your feelings, but �� it��s useless no matter who comes!��


    Before his voice faded, there was a tremor in the void.


    One unbelievably powerful aura after another emerged.

 Chapter 3023 - : Supreme Luxurious Lineup!

    ��Kid, you, a mere Emperor Vast Heaven, summoned this seat here and there, causing this seat to run across several planes. What an incredible face you have!�� Long Jian, who was wearing an azure robe, stepped out of the sky, his overwhelming aura billowing to the sky.


    Together with him were also three of the dragon race��s Hegemons.


    One of them was Long Ran.


    ��Supreme Hegemon! The dragon race��s Supreme Hegemon!�� Feng Xiaotian cried out in surprise and looked toward Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    Dragon race, that was absolutely the pinnacle-most race in the 33 Heavens�� planes!


    This race was proud to the extreme and would not give face to anyone at all.


    But, judging from Long Jian��s words, his relationship with Ye Yuan was not superficial!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said with clasped hands, ��It��s been hard on Senior Long Jian! In the future, if Ye Yuan has any leads, I��ll be the first to help Senior!��


    Long Jian said disdainfully, ��Making an empty promise, do you think that this seat is a three-year-old kid?��


    At this time, several more figures stepped out. They were several women.


    / Please Keep reading on MYBOXN0VEL.COM


    A woman of unparalleled beauty in the front looked at Ye Yuan with a look of resentment and said, ��You normally give me the cold shoulder. When the situation becomes critical, you��re even ordering this young lady around. Does this young lady owe you?��


    This woman was precisely Feng Qingxuan!


    There was also Luan Qinghe who came along with her!


    Feng Xiaotian��s pupils constricted. It was another Supreme Hegemon!


    The Vermilion Bird Clan��s Supreme Hegemon!


    It was only to hear Luan Qinghe said, ��Kid, don��t forget your promise! You owe my Vermilion Bird Clan a favor!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, rest assured. Feng Qingxuan and this Ye are good friends. As long as this Ye makes it, I��ll definitely lend her a helping hand!��


    Luan Qinghe nodded slightly and stopped speaking.


    The void shuddered, and several more figures stepped out.


    These figures were somewhat illusory. One look and Feng Xiaotian discerned that it was the soul race!


    But the arrivals were the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s Hegemon Cloudneon and Hegemon Imperishable!


    Hegemon Imperishable came in person!


    There was also a middle-aged man that Ye Yuan did not recognize. But he saw through the other party��s Qi Soul Clan identity at a glance.


    This Qi Soul Clan powerhouse was a Peak Hegemon too!


    It seemed like the Qi and Nirvanic two clans had already buried the hatchet.


    However, Ye Yuan did not expect that Hegemon Heavenly Soul would actually send someone over.


    ��With Senior Imperishable coming in person, Ye Yuan is overwhelmed by the unexpected favor!�� Ye Yuan said toward Hegemon Imperishable with clasped hands.


    Hegemon Imperishable waved his hand and said, ��I heard that there��s a chance to fight with the Chaos Bloodstone this time. That��s why I came!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and did not argue.


    He understood that Imperishable was returning his favor.


    No matter what, it was him who saved the Nirvanic Soul Clan and also saved him, Hegemon Imperishable!


    He saluted the Qi Soul Clan Hegemon and said, ��Many thanks to Senior for helping out!��


    The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, ��This seat is Soul Intent. Lord Heavenly Soul wants me to tell you that he remembers the grudge!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then this Ye will personally pay a visit and ask for punishment on another day!��


    Heavenly Soul was a proud but honest and frank man. He naturally could not put aside his ego.


    However, this Hegemon Soul Intent came; it already explained everything.


    Feng Xiaotian already could not speak. He did not dare imagine how shocked his heart was at this time!


    In just this short while, nine Hegemons came!


    Furthermore, these were all not ordinary Hegemons. Each of their auras was incomparably powerful. They were at least Peak Hegemon level too!


    Especially Long Jian, Luan Qinghe, and Hegemon Imperishable, they were bona fide Supreme Hegemons!


    Plus Zhao Yue, whose combat strength approached Supreme Hegemon, it was equivalent to them having four Supreme Hegemons!


    This lineup was simply luxurious to the extreme!


    One had to know, even if it was the soul race, they only had two Supreme Hegemons too!


    What on earth did Ye Yuan this fellow do in these hundred years?


    So many big shots actually descended upon Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven for him, a puny little Emperor Vast Heaven.


    If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death too!


    It was not that Ye Yuan was a prophet but that he could feel that the Chaos Bloodstone had become much stronger.


    Therefore, the blood race��s strength would definitely become stronger!


    Ye Yuan was worried. So he requested Long Jian to head to the Vermilion Bird Clan and Nihility Exceeding Balance Heaven to invite these Hegemons to take action.


    Actually, he was just borrowing some Hegemon Realms and did not invite Luan Qinghe and Hegemon Imperishable. He did not expect that they would come on their own.


    This result had also exceeded his expectations.


    But, looking at it now, it was naturally the stronger the better.


    Yang Qing, Jingfei, Big Yellow, and the rest were long already dumbstruck with amazement and did not even dare to breathe loudly.


    These Hegemon Realms�� auras were too powerful!


    One had to know that these Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven powerhouses had never seen Supreme Hegemons before at all.


    Qin Shan suddenly felt that life was lackluster.


    Was it so easy to be friends with Supreme Hegemons?


    Traveling for over a hundred years, it was merely a snap of a finger to powerhouses like them.


    But not only did Ye Yuan��s strength catch up to him in these years, he also even brought so many Hegemon Realms all at once!


    Life was so uninteresting!


    ��Ye Yuan, this �� this ���� Feng Xiaotian really did not know how to express it.


    Hegemon Realm, even if it was the most ordinary Hegemon Realm, they were aloof from the masses in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    But he felt that he was so insignificant now!


    Ye Yuan knew his shock and said with a smile, ��Seniors, this is my close brother, Hegemon Battlesky! These few thousand years, he has always been fighting against the blood race. He��s an elder brother that this Ye holds great esteem for!��


    ��So, it��s Brother Battlesky. After resolving the blood race��s calamity, you can come to my Dragon Clan if you��re free,�� Long Jian greeted with a smile.


    Feng Xiaotian was being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor


    ��Brother Battlesky,�� Luan Qinghe also greeted him.


    ��Brother Battlesky, you can also come to my Qi Soul Clan when you��re free,�� Hegemon Soul Intent said.


    Feng Xiaotian answered one by one, feeling very honored.


    Although he knew that these people were all looking on the account of Ye Yuan��s face, that was why they greeted him like this.


    Hegemons were very strong, but he was really nothing in front of this powerful group.


    ��Alright, since everyone is here, then let��s not delay! The blood race and Heaven one��s Hegemons are currently fighting fiercely. Seniors, please lend a helping hand!�� Ye Yuan said to everyone with clasped hands.


    ��Let Brother Battlesky lead the way. You stay behind.�� Long Jian said.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I can feel that the Chaos Bloodstone��s clone is about to come into being! If I��m not around, you all might not be able to handle it!��


    These words were arrogant enough, but the expressions of Long Jian and the rest turned somber.


    The Chaos Bloodstone��s clone coming into being, that must be a Great Beyond Realm overlord.


    They all, these people, really could not handle it.


    Long Jian frowned and said, ��He��s already coming into being. What can you, a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven, do?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I have some means. Maybe it will have a surprising effect!��


    Long Jian raised his eyebrows and said with a nod, ��Alright, let��s go then!��


    Hence, more than ten Hegemon Realm powerhouses brought Ye Yuan and tore across the sky.


    West Sun City��s main camp was dead silent.


    After a long time, Yang Qing suddenly said to Qin Shan, ��You said that Ye Yuan was a traitor?��


    Qin Shan choked when he heard that, almost giving himself a slap.


    He said with a black face, ��Rubbish! When did I say that? Yang Qing, don��t think that you can fabricate rumors everywhere because you��re strong!��


    Traitor?


    You have got to be kidding!


    If he was really a traitor, bring these few people here and he could sweep the entire Heaven One Alliance away!

 Chapter 3024 - Celestial Army Descending from Heaven!

    Above the void, sword intent crisscrossed!


    Zhuo Bufan, one person and one sword, was seemingly a pine tree in heaven and earth, standing proudly.


    However, he was not a pine tree.


    Wang Zuo and Bloodsky, two great Supreme Hegemons joining hands, he was under too much pressure!


    Especially Bloodsky, he corroborated his Dao with spatial origin. His combat power was extremely formidable.


    Even if Zhuo Bufan��s sword was capable of destroying any stronghold, it was hard to do anything to him too.


    Under the two people��s collaboration, his defeat seemed to have been certain.


    Boom!


    After a bout of fierce fighting, Bloodsky finally broke through Zhuo Bufan��s sword world, the power of origin slamming heavily onto his body.


    Zhuo Bufan gave a muffled groan, his figure flying out backward.


    / Please Keep reading on MYBOXN0VEL.C0M


    How could Wang Zuo be willing to let this opportunity go? Blood light shone brightly, directly chasing after.


    Whoosh!


    A shocking sword light erupted bizarrely from Zhuo Bufan��s body, directly slamming onto Wang Zuo��s body.


    Wang Zuo��s body was directly blasted into a cloud of blood mist.


    But very soon, he condensed his figure again, looking at Zhuo Bufan with a vigilant look.


    This guy was too troublesome!


    There were hundreds of millions of humans who cultivated Sword Dao, but no one could achieve his level.


    This kind of pure to the extreme sword intent made his combat strength fearsome to the extreme.


    ��Zhuo Bufan, you don��t stand a chance! Keep fighting and you��ll die!�� Wang Zuo said in a solemn voice.


    ��Wang Zuo, you don��t need to waste your efforts anymore! One must first cultivate the heart when cultivating the sword. No matter how sweet your words sound, you can forget about wavering my sword heart! For a man, death is but death. What fear do us cultivators have?�� Zhuo Bufan said coolly.


    Actually, after repeated great battles, Zhuo Bufan was already severely wounded.


    But his combat strength did not diminish much.


    Wang Zuo and Bloodsky were very apprehensive of him too, wanting to use words to incite him into leaving.


    But Zhuo Bufan was not moved at all.


    On the other side, Hegemon Cloudmount and Hegemon Blacksun had already fallen into a desperate situation too!


    The two of them were being besieged by seven Peak Hegemons!


    Actually, the two of them were long already arrows at the end of their flight. At this time, they were just relying on willpower to fight.


    ��Old Man Blacksun, we��ve fought for so many years. I didn��t expect that we��re going to die together today. How unlucky!�� Hegemon Cloudmount said unhappily.


    Hegemon Blacksun almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood and said with an angry roar, ��F*ck you, Cloudmount! You old undying, your mouth is really smelly!��


    Cloudmount laughed loudly and said, ��Old Man Blacksun, do you have any last wishes?��


    Blacksun said, ��No last wishes. It��s just that �� when faced with imminent death, I��m somewhat missing the woman when I was in the Lower Realms. Uh �� I can finally reunite with her!��


    Cloudmount could not help laughing as he said, ��Reunite your head! You��ve already lived for God knows how many years! That woman has long entered samsara!��


    Unexpectedly, Blacksun did not rebut and asked, ��What about you, old fogey?��


    Cloudmount chuckled and said, ��There are no last wishes. It��s just a bit regretful that I didn��t get to see the day that little disciple of mine reached the apex!��


    ��Tch, still thinking about that brat? I dare guarantee that that kid has definitely already been controlled by the Chaos Bloodstone. Give up on this!�� Blacksun said with certainty.


    ��F*ck your bullsh*t!��


    Cloudmount could not resist swearing, but he suddenly sighed again and said, ��Old Fogey Blacksun, it��s about time!��


    Blacksun nodded his head and said, ��Yeah, it��s about time! Keep dragging things out, and we won��t even have the capital to put up a desperate fight anymore!��


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Behind Cloudmount and Blacksun two people, the Door of Eternal Life appeared.


    Following that, the two people��s life force dissipated rapidly, but their auras rose rapidly!


    ��They are offering up life force to obtain the power of eternal life! Everyone, be careful! After their life force is depleted, they will be dead men!�� On the blood race��s side, Hegemon Qing Yao warned.


    ��Go f*ck yourself! Refine for me!��


    In the void, Cloudmount directly materialized a large hand and refined a blood race Hegemon into blood mist.


    But sadly, the other party did not die. He recovered back anew very quickly.


    Reaching this realm, wanting to kill a blood race Hegemon was really far too difficult.


    Blacksun��s strength also skyrocketed, directly demolishing a blood race Hegemon.


    But sadly, it was useless!


    Far away, when Zhuo Bufan felt the aura over here, his expression could not help dimming and he shouted, ��Bon voyage, two seniors! This Zhuo will follow right after!��


    Cloudmount laughed loudly and said, ��Hegemon Bufan, being able to know you in this lifetime, I, Cloudmount, have the fortune of three lifetimes! The two of us old men will wait for you on the road! Also, everybody, the two of us old fellows will make a move first!��


    A solemn and stirring atmosphere instantly spread out on the battlefield.


    Everyone knew that it had reached the moment of life and death!


    This battle was too difficult. They were indeed tired too.


    Although fighting with the blood race plunged the people into misery and suffering, the most tiring and strenuous were actually them, these Hegemon Realms.


    This was because they were shouldering too many things.


    It was just that sadly, it still fell short of success at the last step in the end.


    ��Two seniors, take care! We��ll follow right after!��


    ��Two seniors have worked hard!��


    �� ��


    Cloudmount two people had surging auras, each finding their target and attacking crazily.


    In a blink, that Hegemon could not make it anymore.


    But their auras also weakened.


    Although this kind of method that ignited one��s life force could exchange for a powerful offensive strength, the damage to one��s own body was irreversible.


    Bang!


    Hegemon Qing Yao took advantage of Cloudmount��s weakness and sneak attacked from the side, directly demolishing half of his body.


    Hegemon Cloudmount��s aura was feeble, virtually without the strength to fight back anymore.


    ��Sigh, in the end, I failed to take anyone down. How disgraceful!�� Heaving a sigh in his heart, he saw Hegemon Qing Yao charge over once more.


    This time, he could not move anymore.


    Death was coming head-on.


    Boom!


    At the moment of life and death, Hegemon Qing Yao��s body flew out like a cannonball.


    Cloudmount��s pupils constricted. What is going on?


    But very soon, he saw an afterimage glide past him, charging over toward Hegemon Qing Yao.


    That figure was berserk to the extreme.


    At the same time, an extremely familiar figure grabbed his disabled body, both eyes blood-red.


    ��Zhao Yue, tear this damn thing to shreds for me!�� Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body to howl.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue seemed to have felt Ye Yuan��s fury. The him, who was originally ferocious, became even more violent.


    He really tore Qing Yao to pieces.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One powerful aura after another suddenly descended!


    Wang Zuo��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��Dragon Clan! Vermilion Bird Clan! Soul race! This �� How is this possible?��


    It was only to see Long Jian, Luan Qinghe, and Imperishable, three great Supreme Hegemons, directly joining the fight, instantly forming a pincer attack against Wang Zuo and Bloodsky.


    These three people were veteran Supreme Hegemons, their strength being unfathomable.


    Their combat power was much stronger than Wang Zuo and Bloodsky, these two newbies.


    Zhuo Bufan also looked at this scene in unbelievable shock. This scene was truly celestial soldiers descending from heaven!


    Who could have thought that three Supreme Hegemons would actually descend in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven to help them resist the blood race?��


    This kind of thing, he did not even dare to think about it.


    But it really happened.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Hegemon Cloudmount suddenly burst out laughing!


    He was happy!


    He was really very happy!


    That moment when he saw Ye Yuan, he felt that there were no regrets in this life anymore!

 Chapter 3025 - Reversing The Battle Situation!

    Ten great Hegemons descending, the battle situation instantly had a reversal!


    This force was seriously too powerful!


    Under Long Jian, Luan Qinghe, and Hegemon Imperishable��s pincer attack, Wang Zuo and Hegemon Bloodsky were instantly suppressed.


    When Wang Zuo��s peripherals glimpsed Ye Yuan, who was hugging Cloudmount, his pupils could not help constricting.


    Ye Yuan!


    Why would this guy appear here?


    Could it be that these top supreme powerhouses were actually brought by him?


    This thought was so shocking!


    ��It��s this kid! Back then, it was this kid who destroyed this seat��s spatial passageway!�� There was also Hegemon Bloodsky, who was similarly shocked.


    He recognized Ye Yuan!


    / Please Keep reading on MYBOXN0VEL.C0M


    Back then, he thought that it was a spatial origin Hegemon opposite the passageway.


    But only later on did he learn that that was merely a measly little Saint Sovereign Heaven, that was all!


    A Hegemon actually lost to a Saint Sovereign. Bloodsky nearly fainted in anger.


    Whoosh!


    A sword tore across the air, breathtaking to the extreme, hitting Wang Zuo with incomparable precision.


    Boom!


    Wang Zuo was directly blown into smithereens by Zhuo Bufan��s sword.


    The eyes of the three great Supreme Hegemons lit up, and they could not help but take another look at Zhuo Bufan.


    Clearly, none of them expected that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually had such an astonishing sword cultivator!


    ��Many thanks to everyone for helping out. I can still fight! Leave one person to help me. You guys go and help the rest!�� Zhuo Bufan held his sword while standing. Although heavily wounded, it did not affect his stubbornness in the slightest.


    Although ten great Hegemons descended, there were too many blood race Hegemons. It was several times that of the Heaven One Alliance.


    Otherwise, this fight would not have been so difficult either.


    Zhuo Bufan��s meaning was very clear: kill the other Hegemons first!


    Long Jian instantly determined the battlefield��s situation and said with a nod, ��Luan Qinghe, Imperishable, the two of you go, leave this place to us!��


    The two people naturally did not have objections, nodding slightly and leaving immediately.


    With two great Supreme Hegemons joining the fight, the surrounding battle situation instantly underwent a reversal.


    Originally, Heaven One��s Hegemons became fewer as they fought. There were not many left.


    Around 60 to 70 Hegemons were besieging Heaven One��s remaining ten plus Hegemons.


    One could say that the outcome was a foregone conclusion.


    But, with Supreme Hegemons and a group of Peak Hegemons joining, the combat power could be imagined!


    Dozens of Hegemons were pushed back repeatedly!


    ��Zhao Yue, kill for me! Kill until he can��t revive!�� Ye Yuan��s two eyes were blood-red. His roar could be heard distinctly across the entire battlefield. His current fury could be seen.


    Cloudneon guarded by his flank, staying vigilant against other people��s sneak attack.


    Zhao Yue ignored the others too, just focusing on Hegemon Qing Yao and attacking frenziedly.


    Hegemon Qing Yao was a Peak Hegemon too, his strength being very formidable.


    But, under Zhao Yue��s berserk attacks, he did not have the strength to fight back at all.


    Zhao Yue��s combat strength already approached Supreme Hegemon!


    Ordinary Peak Hegemons were not his match at all.


    Moreover, he was currently in a state of frenzy.


    Qing Yao was going crazy. F*ck, Cloudmount was not finished off by me alone. What are you fixated on me for?


    Cloudmount and Blacksun were very strong. He only succeeded after seven great Hegemons joined forces to attack too.


    Furthermore, it was even under the situation where Cloudmount��s life force was virtually exhausted!


    But this scene was coincidentally seen by Ye Yuan.


    Then Qing Yao fell into a tragedy!


    He saw through that apart from this Zhao Yue, the strength of the other Peak Hegemons were also just like that.


    Wanting to kill someone in the same rank within a short time was totally impossible.


    But Zhao Yue��s strength was too strong!


    ��Master, this disciple came late!�� Ye Yuan��s eyes were slightly red.


    He had encountered many sad things in this lifetime, but he had virtually never shed tears before.


    But Cloudmount really poured all of his love and care into Ye Yuan.


    He even did not stint to fall out with the Heaven One Alliance for him!


    Therefore, when he saw this scene of Qing Yao sneak attacking Cloudmount, his entire person went completely mad.


    ��Not late, not late! Just in time! Haha, this seat hasn��t died yet, what are you crying for?�� Cloudmount said with a laugh.


    Ye Yuan did not speak.


    Cloudmount would not die, but his life force expenditure was too severe. Furthermore, he was very heavily wounded. In the future, he would be equivalent to a cripple.


    This injury was very hard for Ye Yuan to repair even if Ye Yuan reached the level of blooming a myriad flowers with one thought.


    Cloudmount��s and Blacksun��s injuries were an exchange with Heavenly Dao, using their lives to exchange for power.


    Unless Ye Yuan could defy heaven to change fate, otherwise, Cloudmount would be pretty much the same as a living corpse.


    To a Peak Hegemon who possessed a supreme status and strength, this was worse than killing him.


    But Cloudmount did not care at all.


    He was really very happy when he saw Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Haha, I really didn��t expect that in merely a rushed 100 years, you could actually have such accomplishments! Well-deserving of being my, Cloudmount��s, disciple! Old Fogey Blacksun, are you very jealous right now? Hahaha �� My youngest disciple��s face-slapping means, really have my, this master��s, style!��


    Cloudmount laughed extremely happily.


    On the other side, Hegemon Blacksun was much more miserable.


    Nobody cared about him at all!


    He fell heavily onto the ground and could not move at all.


    Furthermore, the most important thing was that he got slapped again!


    Just earlier, he was still saying in all solemnity that Ye Yuan was controlled by the Chaos Bloodstone.


    But in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan brought a large group of experts, descending from the sky like celestial soldiers, overcoming the raging tides!


    Uh, karma was really instant!


    Being controlled naturally became utter nonsense.


    With Heaven One��s present situation, as long as Ye Yuan looked on indifferently, there was no need to put on such a big show at all.


    Let alone that even without the blood race, if Ye Yuan brought this force, it was sufficient to sweep across Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven too!


    ��Quickly retreat! Return to the Blood God Temple!�� Wang Zuo yelled out, directly running wildly.


    Even if it was just Long Jian and Zhuo Bufan two people, he and Bloodsky were not a match either.


    He knew that this battle was completely lost!


    This force that Ye Yuan brought was simply destructive.


    To carry on fighting, everyone would die here.


    Under Wang Zuo��s word of command, dozens of Hegemons turned around and ran.


    Although the people that Ye Yuan brought were strong, they were unable to stop so many people from running away too.


    However, Luan Qinghe and Imperishable two people killed wildly all the way, annihilating more than ten blood race Hegemons.


    It was also that the blood race��s revival ability was too strong. It was already very hard to be able to have this battle result.


    Of course, the most tragic was Qing Yao.


    He had Zhao Yue glued onto him, unable to shake off at all.


    Zhao Yue��s speed and combat strengths were all above him.


    ��F*ck you, Your Father will fight it out with you!��


    Bang!


    Then he was blown apart by Zhao Yue.


    Being killed over 20 times in a row, Qing Yao was finally unable to revive and died thoroughly.


    ��Master, I��ll kill Wang Zuo that old dog to avenge you!�� Ye Yuan said in a cold voice.


    ��Master believes you! Over so many years, Master is tired too. This time, just nice that I can have a break!�� Cloudmount said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan��s expression dimmed. He knew that Cloudmount was consoling him.


    However, he was powerless to do anything about it right now.


    Before long, the group of Hegemon Realms returned.


    Long Jian said, ��Those two Supreme Hegemons were seriously wounded by us and executed spatial methods to escape. After killing more than ten Hegemon Realms, the rest have all run away. Now, what should we do?��


    All of the Heaven One Hegemons were incomparably shocked, inclusive of Cloudmount.


    This dragon race Supreme Hegemon actually listened to Ye Yuan��s orders!


    Correct, it was not discussing but awaiting Ye Yuan��s orders!

 Chapter 3026 - Using Himself As Bait!

    In the Blood God Temple, a group of blood race Hegemons had solemn expressions.


    Nobody could have expected that the battle of genocide that supposedly was already in the bag actually failed!


    ��Bloodpromise, are you a pig? Such a big defeat, you actually did not report the news!�� Wang Zuo had nowhere to vent his anger, directly venting his fury on Bloodpromise.


    Bloodpromise had an innocent look as he said with a bitter smile, ��Lord Wang Zuo, I also didn��t know that Ye Yuan could actually bring so many powerhouses back! When he returned, there was only that monster around him.��


    ��You still freaking think that you��re in the right?�� Wang Zuo shot to his feet and was practically about to make a move. Bloodpromise immediately withered up.


    When Bloodsky saw that the atmosphere was a little strange, he spoke up, ��Alright. Brother Wang Zuo, Bloodpromise didn��t do it on purpose either. The mother stone is about to come into being right away. It��s the most important thing at this time. Our urgent matter on hand is to defend the Blood God Temple. Ye Yuan brought so many experts back. He��ll definitely attack the Blood God Temple.��


    Wang Zuo nodded his head, only then letting it go.


    He gave a cold snort and said, ��Ye Yuan this punk really lingers on relentlessly! If not for him, we��d have unified Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven a hundred years ago, and the mother stone would have long come into being as well! Damn thing, after the mother stone comes into being, this seat will definitely ground his bones into dust!��


    Wang Zuo really hated Ye Yuan to the bones.


    Ever since Ye Yuan landed on Heaven One Continent, he had ruined his certain victory plans God knows how many times.


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    This time, he even brought a large number of Hegemon Realms, causing them a huge crisis.


    But, if the mother stone did not come into being, he really could not do anything to Ye Yuan.


    Boom!


    Before his voice faded, the Blood God Temple shook violently!


    The entire space directly had a large hole that was blasted out.


    More than 20 Hegemon Realms descended upon the Blood God Temple��s space!


    This holy land was a highly guarded secret, but Ye Yuan was very familiar with this place. Finding it was naturally as easy as blowing off dust.


    He let Zhou Pinespring bring Cloudmount and the few other heavily injured Hegemons back to West Sun City first, and he brought Long Jian and the rest and directly charged into the Blood God Temple!


    ��F*ck you, Ye Yuan!�� Wang Zuo finally could not resist swearing.


    He had not even caught his breath, and Ye Yuan already brought people and rushed over!


    More than 20 Hegemon Realms descending, it immediately fought until the sky and earth dimmed.


    The battle of Hegemon Realms rarely implicated ordinary people.


    But this fight was a battle of genocide. They naturally did not have any more qualms.


    Previously, Zhuo Bufan they all launched a life and death great battle in order to block the blood race Hegemons too.


    Wang Zuo brought a group of Hegemons and rose up into the air. When he saw Ye Yuan, he could not resist letting loose a torrent of abuse. He said, ��Little Saboteur Ye Yuan, this seat can��t coexist under the same sky with you! Today, this seat will tear you to shreds!��


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Don��t, Lord Wang Zuo. I��m the Blood Divine Son that you personally picked! It isn��t nice for you to do this, right?��


    Wang Zuo almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood and cried out angrily, ��Nice your head! Everyone, heed my orders. Kill this little villain at all costs!��


    The aggro was drawn to the max.


    In an instant, dozens of Hegemons rushed in like a swarm of hornets, the commotion shocking the heavens.


    The corners of Long Jian��s mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly, ��Just how abominable is this guy? They are completely disregarding casualties!��


    Luan Qinghe��s mouth curled, and she said, ��This boy can draw aggro naturally! Have you forgotten how many powerhouses this guy provoked in the Eternal River?��


    Long Jian smiled bitterly and said, ��Truly, once a scar is healed, the pain is forgotten! I almost forgot about this!��


    This boy even summoned Great Beyond powerhouses back then.


    He, this Supreme Hegemon, nearly knelt down to two mighty Great Beyond powerhouses at that time.


    If not for Mi Tian returning, that would not have been resolved.


    Feng Xiaotian sneered and said, ��This guy didn��t do anything either. He just ran to the blood race and circled one round, became Wang Zuo��s appointed Blood Divine Son, swindled the Chaos Bloodstone��s origin of blood, killed off the blood race��s genius juniors, and then completely wiped out hundreds of thousands of blood race elites. Now, he brought all of your excellencies and killed our way to the Blood God Temple. Wang Zuo naturally wishes to swallow him alive!��


    The group of Hegemons exchanged glances, all looking at Ye Yuan with incredible shock.


    This kid could really cause trouble!


    However, the blood race schemed against all the heavens. Even the dragon race could not escape the misfortune too.


    Yet, they suffered losses at the hands of a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven time and again.


    Got to admit, Ye Yuan was the blood race��s jinx.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said to Zhuo Bufan with a smile, ��Brother Zhuo, among the Hegemon Realms present, just solely in terms of offensive power, you��re the well-deserved number one! Therefore, I��ll have to count on you!��


    Zhuo Bufan gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance and said with a nod, ��Rest assured, even if I die, I��ll complete the mission too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There��s still a fight between you and me. You mustn��t die!��


    Everyone was rendered speechless again. You, a freaking Emperor Vast Heaven, talked about fighting with a Supreme Hegemon, really not scared of spraining your tongue from talking big!


    But, unexpectedly, Zhuo Bufan just smiled slightly and said, ��Okay, I��ll wait for you!��


    Clearly, he acknowledged Ye Yuan��s statement.


    For some reason, the first time he laid eyes on Ye Yuan, he had a feeling of a fated rival.


    Reaching his level of realm, every movement and action was equal to Heavenly Dao.


    This kind of fate, only he himself could feel it deeply too.


    Just like Yang Qing chasing after Ye Yuan desperately, the goal that Ye Yuan had been chasing after all along was Zhuo Bufan!


    He already knew that he and Ye Yuan were both from the Rainclear Continent. Furthermore, they were both ascenders.


    Some things could not be avoided.


    Finished saying, Zhuo Bufan��s figure gradually faded away, disappearing from the army of Hegemons.


    More than 50 Hegemons rushed in like a swarm of hornets just for the sake of killing Ye Yuan. This kind of line-up, even if it was Long Jian they all, they were under considerable pressure too.


    After all, Hegemon Realms were not some ants.


    Even if it was the most ordinary Hegemon Realm, they were also the pinnacle-most existences in this world.


    Unlike in other battles, Wang Zuo and the others�� goal was very clear. It was to kill Ye Yuan!


    ��Kill!��


    Long Jian shouted fiercely, his figure directly turning into a true dragon.


    Luan Qinghe did not dare to dawdle either, similarly turning into a Qing Luan1.


    Two great true spirit bloodlines released their full combat power at this moment.


    Facing this horrifying battle, Ye Yuan stood proudly in the sky, his expression unchanging.


    Zhao Yue guarded closely beside him, helping him to block the aftershocks of the Hegemon battles.


    He was intentionally standing here to be a target, in order to attract Wang Zuo��s attention, creating an opening for Zhuo Bufan!


    This was the battle strategy that Ye Yuan planned before coming here.


    Zhuo Bufan only had one mission, which was to finish off the Chaos Bloodstone!


    The blood race Hegemons all seemed to have gone crazy. They attacked the ranks frenziedly. Even if they were facing Supreme Hegemons, they were fearless too.


    In a blink, the blood race had more than ten Hegemons that were blown apart. But they revived again right away and continued attacking.


    Wang Zuo and Bloodsky two people took the lead and erupted with all their strength.


    They had already entered a frenzied state, just for the sake of killing Ye Yuan!


    Finally, under the frenzied assault of more than 50 Hegemons, the ranks on Ye Yuan��s side had a gap that was opened up.


    Wang Zuo��s two eyes lit up, and he laughed wildly as he said, ��Ye Yuan, this time, I see if you still don��t die!��


    ��Damn it!�� Long Jian secretly cursed and rushed over without heed for anything.


    A streak of bloody light tore across the sky, flying straight for Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 3027 - Divine Ability, Eight Spatial Celestial Pole Escape!

    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue turned into a streak of lightning and met with this bloody light.


    This was his instinct. In order to protect Ye Yuan, he would spare no effort.


    Zhao Yue��s combat strength approached Supreme Hegemon, but he was not when all was said and done.


    It was only to hear a loud bang. Zhao Yue was directly blasted flying.


    However, Wang Zuo��s target from the very beginning was not Ye Yuan but Zhao Yue.


    How great was the power of a Supreme Hegemon��s all-out blow?


    The terrifying aftershock rippled out, sweeping over toward Ye Yuan rapidly.


    Very soon, it completely engulfed him!


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    ��Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    The eyes of Long Jian and the others turned blood-red.


    They all did not expect that the blood race��s hatred toward Ye Yuan was so great.


    In order to kill Ye Yuan, seven Hegemons died in this wave!


    This was exchanging multiple lives for a single life!


    Seven great Hegemons, what kind of terrifying force was this? It was used to exchange for the life of an Emperor Vast Heaven just like that!


    It could be seen how crazed this bunch of guys were.


    Long Jian and the rest were caught off-guard.


    ��Hahaha �� This hateful punk is finally dead! Finally dead!�� Wang Zuo said with a wild laugh.


    With Ye Yuan dead, he was really happy until he was flying.


    If not for this brat, how could exterminating Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven have been so troublesome?


    Right at this time, a figure crawled out of the void.


    Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    It was just that the current Ye Yuan seemed like he was hauled out of a pool of blood, looking very scary.


    He made use of spatial rule and saved his own life with incomparable peril but was extremely heavily wounded.


    Ye Yuan beckoned his finger at Wang Zuo, revealing a row of pearly white teeth, and said with a smile, ��Lord Wang Zuo is very happy huh? Having fought so many times with you, only this time your action is passable. But unfortunately, it was off by just a little bit. Come, again!��


    The smile on Wang Zuo��s gaze suddenly ceased.


    Such a strong aftershock, it was sufficient to even kill Emperor Sakra Heavens. This kid actually did not die!


    ��It��s spatial rule. He comprehended a divine ability!�� Bloodsky said.


    He was a spatial origin Hegemon. He was the most sensitive to space.


    When Ye Yuan crawled out, he clearly felt the undulation of a divine ability, and he could not help feeling shocked in his heart.


    Divine ability was exclusive to at least origin powerhouses.


    But Ye Yuan was just Emperor Vast Heaven, and he actually comprehended a divine ability!


    Wang Zuo��s pupils constricted, and he said in astonishment, ��D-Divine ability?��


    Even Long Jian also said in shock, ��T-This boy!��


    Hegemon Imperishable said, ��This kid has a myriad origin seeds in his body, plus his comprehension in the path of space is extremely deep. Comprehending a divine ability isn��t strange either.��


    Cloudneon gave Imperishable a glance and said, ��Lord Imperishable, you��re being an armchair quarterback.��


    Imperishable shot her a glare and said, ��Nobody will treat you as a mute if you don��t speak!��


    Fusing four great true spirit bloodlines, comprehending saint force, and also comprehending chaos divine essence, he seemed to have taken the expressway when it came to comprehending rules.


    Just before returning to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, he comprehended a divine ability, Eight Spatial Celestial Pole Escape!


    It was also by relying on precisely this move that he escaped alive from under Wang Zuo��s hands.


    ��Roar!��


    With an angry roar, Zhao Yue returned to Ye Yuan��s side again.


    Forcibly resisting a blow from Wang Zuo, he was covered all over in blood too.


    However, he did not have the slightest intention of backing down.


    Long Jian and the others also took this opportunity to close off the ranks again, not giving Wang Zuo the slightest chance.


    Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred!


    One ray of bloody light after another, shot out of the void, illuminating the entire sky like a blood-colored setting sun.


    A powerful aura instantly covered the entire Blood God Temple.


    The entire Blood God Temple space actually started to crumble.


    It was because this region of space was unable to withstand the power of the Chaos Bloodstone coming into being.


    It could be seen how strong this power was!


    Wang Zuo, Bloodsky, and the rest of the blood race Hegemons, all revealed wildly ecstatic looks.


    ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan brat, you brought so many experts. In the end, it��s futile too! The mother stone is about to come into being right away! At that time, all of you will have to die! All will have to die!�� The look in Wang Zuo��s eyes was full of fervent heat.


    Even if he had reached Supreme Hegemon, his subservience to the mother stone would not change in the least bit too.


    Bloodsky said agitatedly, ��How many years has it been? This moment has finally arrived! The mother stone coming into being, the moment where my blood race will unify all the heavens and myriad worlds, has come!��


    ��Welcoming the mother stone��s birth!��


    ��Welcoming the mother stone��s birth!��


    ��Welcoming the mother stone��s birth!��


    �� ��


    At this moment, the blood race Hegemons actually ignored the experts around them, bowing down with devoutness one after another.


    When Long Jian and the others saw this surge of formidable power, each and every one of their expressions changed greatly.


    This kind of feeling was like the crumbling on doomsday.


    They could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan one by one.


    ��So strong! This pressure is absolutely not beneath Progenitor Mi Tian! Ye Yuan, can it really work?�� Long Jian said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know either!��


    The faces of the group of Hegemons fell, wishing to smack this kid to death with a slap.


    This reply was wholly irresponsible!


    You freaking hoodwinked so many powerhouses over. In the end, it was coming to court death?


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The few of you, stop deceiving yourself as well as others! With the Chaos Bloodstone coming into being, do you all think that you can stand aloof from the affair? He has 33 clones, all in the Great Beyond Realm! The higher plane clones have long already been born, with their strength being unfathomable! After the 33 clones combine bodies, you all can imagine how strong he��ll be! Maybe, he��ll push open the Door of Eternal Life in one go!��


    All the Hegemons stopped talking.


    This species war that swept across all the heavens was even more brutal than the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s war back then.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, none of them could stay detached from the matter.


    This was saving Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and also their own self-redemption.


    ��I don��t know about the other planes, but this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven clone might be our only chance! As long as we seriously injure him, the Chaos Bloodstone won��t be able to achieve grand completion, and it probably won��t be that easy for him to push open the Door of Eternal Life anymore!�� Ye Yuan continued.


    ��Haha �� Shamelessly boasting little villain! A mere Emperor Vast Heaven wants to deal with the mother stone too! Ye Yuan, don��t you forget. You swindled the mother stone��s origin and even plotted against him. He remembers these scores! After he is born, it will be your death date! Up in the heavens and down below ground, no one can save you!�� Wang Zuo said with a wild laugh.


    No one paid attention to him.


    Long Jian said in a solemn voice, ��Kid, how much confidence do you have?��


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��10%.��


    The faces of Long Jian and the others instantly turned black again.


    ��Just 10%, this is also too low, right?�� Long Jian said crossly.


    ��Who do you think this guy is? This guy is an existence that��s going to sweep across all the heavens! I��m just a puny little Emperor Vast Heaven, it��s already very impressive to be able to have 10% confidence, alright? If you��re capable, how much confidence do you have?�� Ye Yuan similarly said crossly.


    Long Jian was choked badly by Ye Yuan.


    Got to say, he really had no solution at all.


    Such a terrifying pressure, he could not get close at all.


    Although a Great Beyond powerhouse was a Hegemon too, they were existences on another level.


    That was a realm of nothingness that could not be described.


    But without a doubt, each Great Beyond powerhouse was terrifyingly strong.


    In the void, Zhuo Bufan looked at the blood-colored heart in the distance and was silent.


    Suddenly, he sat down cross-legged, his body emitting a shocking sword intent.

 Chapter 3028 - Concerted Attack From Inside and Outside!

    The sword intent grew stronger and stronger!


    If someone was here, they would definitely be in a trance, as if there was only this sword left in this heaven and earth.


    All around, the blood color was boundless, but it could not affect Zhuo Bufan.


    He was accumulating momentum!


    In the fierce battle with Wang Zuo, it was naturally impossible for the other party to give him the chance to gain momentum.


    But, once Zhuo Bufan was done accumulating momentum, his offensive power would reach an extremely terrifying realm.


    But at this time, Zhuo Bufan was somewhat dazed.


    The opponent was too strong!


    But, unexpectedly, the Chaos Bloodstone did not attack him.


    Clearly, all of the other party��s focus was on breaking through.


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    Breaking out of seclusion was not an easy thing for the Chaos Bloodstone too.


    Crack �� Crack, crack!


    Suddenly, that heart��s outer layer started to crack.


    An astonishing aura spewed out of the heart.


    Feeling this aura, Zhuo Bufan��s sword intent could not help becoming sluggish too.


    ��So strong! Am I really able to defeat this guy?��


    A trace of doubt was actually produced in Zhuo Bufan��s heart.


    This power was really too strong!


    ��Mn? Why is there a brat around? Are you here to deal with me?�� No idea since when the Chaos Mother Stone already woke up.


    Zhuo Bufan ignored him and continued gaining momentum.


    ��Hur hur, what a strong sword intent; indeed rather capable. But this ancestor has already been born. Your bit of strength is insufficient!�� The Chaos Mother Stone continued.


    Zhuo Bufan still ignored the Chaos Mother Stone.


    He knew that his strength was inadequate, but since he came, he never thought of shrinking back.


    True courage was not about having the courage to do anything, but it was doing it even though one clearly knew that it was impossible!


    Rumble ��


    An astonishing aura burst forth from the Chaos Bloodstone.


    Zhuo Bufan��s heart tensed up. The Chaos Bloodstone was about to be born!


    But at this moment, the Chaos Bloodstone��s aura was very unstable.


    Zhuo Bufan suddenly snapped open his eyes and cried out angrily, ��Now��s the time!��


    As if his mind becoming more agile as luck hit, Zhuo Bufan immediately realized that the opportunity had arrived.


    A powerful sword intent that made people feel asphyxiated suddenly erupted.


    In an instant, the sword intent that he accumulated for a long time poured out.


    ��Haha, this sword is pretty good. But sadly, it��s still too weak!�� Chaos Bloodstone said with a loud laugh.


    At the same moment in the outside world, Ye Yuan��s bloodshot eyes suddenly snapped open.


    ��Now��s the time; explode for me!��


    With an angry cry, the four great true spirit bloodlines in Ye Yuan��s body suddenly erupted.


    A surge of saint force arrived inside the Chaos Bloodstone through the Dao sword��s sharing.


    The wisp of Dao sword that was incubating in the Chaos Bloodstone, directly exploded at this moment.


    Normally, this bit of power was naturally nothing.


    But, at the moment when the Chaos Bloodstone was being born, he was evolving from a non-living entity to becoming a living entity.


    One should not look at how his aura was boundless. Within his body, a massive transformation was currently taking place.


    At this moment, inside out, it was when the Chaos Bloodstone was at its weakest.


    At this moment, any undulation would cause a fatal impact on the Chaos Bloodstone.


    While at the same time, Zhuo Bufan��s astonishing sword intent had arrived.


    Concerted attack from inside and outside!


    Ye Yuan and Zhuo Bufan never discussed the specifics. They just said to act according to circumstance.


    But at this moment, the two people��s cooperation was brilliant to the max!


    Two forces wrecked the Chaos Bloodstone��s vitality, like sweeping away dead leaves.


    The Chaos Bloodstone was actually powerless to resist.


    ��ARGHHHH!��


    A furious roar could be heard, shocking heaven and earth.


    The current Chaos Bloodstone was furious to the extreme.


    ��Ye Yuan, it��s you again! You again! This seat will definitely tear your corpses to pieces today!��


    A bellow reverberated throughout the firmament.


    ��Pffft!��


    Ye Yuan also directly spewed out a large mouthful of blood. Detonating the Dao sword, he suffered a great loss of vitality too.


    How sharp was the perception of Long Jian and the rest of the Hegemons?


    The Chaos Bloodstone��s astonishing aura seemed to have been dealt a staggering blow by someone, becoming dispirited and inert all at once.


    ��Success! Hahaha, kid, nice one!�� Long Jian said excitedly.


    While Wang Zuo and the rest of the Hegemons had blank faces as they said, ��This �� How is this possible? The mother stone is invincible! How can you all possibly hurt the mother stone?��


    He did not take Ye Yuan��s words earlier to heart at all.


    But now, it was really realized!


    The mother stone��s coming into being had failed!


    Ye Yuan this guy actually really did it!


    But the mother stone was invincible. How could a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven possibly hurt him?


    Bang!


    A figure directly flew out of the void.


    Zhuo Bufan was directly blasted out!


    However, it was not a big problem.


    The Chaos Bloodstone was severely wounded and no longer had such great power.


    ��Brother Zhuo, beautifully done!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Zhuo Bufan also had an excited look as he said with a smile, ��It��s still you who��s impressive! Without you, my sword couldn��t have breached his defenses at all!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Brother Zhuo��s sword grasped the timing perfectly, truly remarkable!��


    Zhuo Bufan said, ��It��s still you who was farsighted and prudent, to actually be able to execute such means that deceived everybody!��


    ��Alright, alright. I know that the two of you are impressive. Stop bragging. I can��t continue to listen anymore!�� Long Jian was speechless.


    These two guys were blowing each other��s trumpets. It was really utterly shameless.


    How embarrassing!


    But they were really amazing!


    An Emperor Vast Heaven and a Supreme Hegemon who just broke through not long ago.


    The two people joined hands and actually inflicted serious injuries on a Great Beyond powerhouse whose strength did not pale in comparison to Mi Tian!


    This was really incredible!


    Boom!


    The void shattered. A streak of bloody light flew out.


    Everyone looked over and could not help laughing.


    The arrival was an ugly thing with a stone head.


    This ugly monster��s aura was very chaotic, seemingly unable to be controlled at all.


    Judging by his aura, his current strength was at the very most, just an ordinary Hegemon.


    Clearly, the Chaos Bloodstone��s evolution had failed.


    Puu, puu, puu ��


    Suddenly, one blood race Hegemon after another exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist, pouring towards the Chaos Bloodstone.


    The expressions of Long Jian and the rest changed slightly. Sure enough, after absorbing the vitality of more than 20 Hegemons, the Chaos Bloodstone��s aura stabilized at Supreme Hegemon.


    But it was also merely just that.


    Ye Yuan and Zhuo Bufan��s joint attack had damaged the Chaos Bloodstone��s foundation, making him unable to complete his evolution.


    If he wanted to enter the Great Beyond Realm and thoroughly complete the evolution, it could not be done within a short time.


    He looked in Ye Yuan��s direction and cried out angrily, ��Little Villain Ye Yuan, this seat will definitely kill you today! Everyone, heed my order. Kill Ye Yuan at all costs!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��My mission is already completed. I won��t be staying behind to draw aggro anymore. Senior Long Jian, I��ll leave this place to you all. I��m making a move!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan executed his divine ability again and made his get away.


    Long Jian and the rest could not help being speechless. This guy slipped away so quickly.


    But it was indeed not a good thing for him to stay here.


    The aggro points were too high!


    They could completely imagine how furious the Chaos Bloodstone currently was.


    Although the blood race Hegemon numbers were reduced sharply, with the addition of the Chaos Bloodstone, they improved greatly in terms of quality.


    A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Although the Chaos Bloodstone did not evolve completely, his combat power still could not be underestimated.


    This battle was still very difficult!


    ��Everyone, a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven took all the limelight. We, old fellows, mustn��t lose face! Kill!�� Long Jian bellowed.

 Chapter 3029 - Return of the Hero!

    ��Master, I didn��t expect that it��s actually Little Junior Brother who saved us in the end!�� Zhou Pinespring said with a bitter smile.


    ��Haha, when have I, your master, made a mistake when judging people? Rather, it��s some people who kept saying Ye Yuan got controlled by the enemy. In the end? This slap is resounding! Back then, if not for Your Father��s persistence, this bunch of grandsons would all have to die today! Don��t you agree, Old Fogey Blacksun?�� Cloudmount was pleased with himself as he said.


    Blacksun was speechless.


    ��In my view, this bunch of grandsons was jealous that I took in a fine disciple! Luckily, Your Father had no qualms in falling out back then to protect Ye Yuan. Now, it��s equivalent to protecting Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! In the end, the greatest meritorious official is Your Father! Hahaha ����


    Blacksun could not retort those words.


    These few days, he had already been beaten down by Cloudmount in waves.


    Those who got beaten down together with him were also those Hegemon Realms who were carried back.


    There was no way to live otherwise!


    Even so, these people themselves also could not help but sigh. The one who saved Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, in the end, was not Divine Lord, not Zhuo Bufan, but it was Ye Yuan, this measly little Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Right at the start, they were knocked down by Cloudmount limitlessly.


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    After posturing for half a day without anyone acknowledging, Cloudmount also felt rather bored and could not help but ask, ��Old Fogey Blacksun, do you think whether or not Ye Yuan they all can succeed?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s hearts became fidgety again.


    After being silent for a long time, Blacksun said, ��Back then, we��ve fought with the Chaos Bloodstone before. What do you think?��


    Cloudmount said somewhat irritatedly, ��Your Father is asking you!��


    Blacksun shook his head and said, ��Most likely �� difficult! How strong a Great Beyond powerhouse is, you and I both know!��


    Cloudmount��s face was somewhat black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Aren��t you implying that my youngest disciple went to court death?��


    Blacksun gave him a look and said, ��Whether or not it��s courting death, aren��t you clear in your heart? But you still let him go, no?��


    Cloudmount shot him a fierce glare. He knew the answer a long time ago. It was just that he was not willing to go and think. That was all.


    Ye Yuan said that he had some means, but no matter what means he had, he was also just Emperor Vast Heaven!


    He could rampage in all directions because he brought back these Supreme Hegemons and not his own strength.


    Could a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven deal with a Great Beyond powerhouse?


    Cloudmount did not believe it. Blacksun they all did not believe it either.


    The current Cloudmount had a head full of gray hair, his two eyes deeply sunken, and his severed limb was unable to regrow too. It was not much different from a mortal old man.


    Hegemon Cloudmount, who had once commanded the heavens, no longer had the image of spirit of a Hegemon Realm.


    The samsara that he had already transcended seemed to have been back on his body again.


    Swoosh!


    Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was Li Clearcloud.


    ��Master, there��s news from over there!�� Li Clearcloud��s face was full of abjectness.


    Cloudmount had a foreboding premonition, his heart thumping, nearly fainting away.


    Blacksun and the rest also sighed in their hearts.


    Thinking to themselves, it was indeed like this!


    ��How is your little junior brother?�� Cloudmount asked tremblingly.


    ��Little Junior Brother he ���� Li Clearcloud could not quite continue when he spoke up to here.


    Cloudmount��s gaze turned dark, and he shouted coldly, ��How on earth is he doing?��


    Suddenly, Li Clearcloud��s expression changed greatly, revealing a wildly elated expression as he said agitatedly, ��Little Junior Brother crushed the blood race, inflicting heavy wounds onto the Chaos Bloodstone. Wang Zuo and Bloodsky have virtually died. The blood race��s Hegemons are almost completely wiped out! Heaven One is greatly victorious! Hahaha ����


    Everyone present did not wrap their minds around it.


    This sudden turn of events was seriously too sudden.


    ��W-What did you say?�� Cloudmount could not resist asking again.


    ��I said, Heaven One is victorious! Unprecedentedly victorious! The blood race has fled. We��ve restored glory to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Master, we won!�� Li Clearcloud said agitatedly.


    ��Scoundrel! Pingspring, kill this guy for me! If he dares to fight back, Your Father will expel him!�� Suddenly, Cloudmount exploded in anger.


    ��Alright!�� Zhou Pinespring rubbed his fights and wiped his palms, and pummeled brutally.


    15 minutes later, Li Clearcloud��s face swelled up like a pig��s head.


    Uh, he also had a deep-seated hatred toward Eldest Senior Brother��s behavior.


    Cloudmount looked at him and said with a sneer, ��You think that because Master��s life force is depleted, you can deceive and betray your master? If Master��s strength is still present, I��ll definitely make you lie down for ten thousand years!��


    He was really furious!


    This scoundrelly brat actually dared to trick him!


    Just now, he almost fainted!


    Li Clearcloud said crossly, ��Right, I��m taking revenge on you! Who asked you to send me alone out at that time? Humph! Is it only you, Hegemon Cloudmount, who��s very noble?��


    Cloudmount choked when he heard that. It turned out that he was waiting for this moment.


    In the previous battle, Cloudmount foolhardily sent the dying Li Clearcloud out at the risk of heavy injuries.


    In the end, this guy held a grudge until now.


    ��Bastard! This seat saved you. Did I save wrongly?��


    ��Yes!��


    ��You *sshole!��


    �� ��


    The group of Hegemons was speechless, but they felt touched in their hearts.


    Cloudmount��s current one sect three Hegemons fell over each other in their eagerness to die. This really made people admire their actions!


    Counting the other two great Hegemons from the Extreme Medicine Sect who died, the Extreme Medicine Sect with their five Hegemons were almost completely wiped out!


    This Hegemon level sect really fought until the last man!


    Actually, a long time ago, after the blood race crisis erupted, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven did not have just those 60 Hegemons. There were many Hegemons who clung to life and feared death, directly fleeing.


    Those who remained were all heroes!


    But, among the Extreme Medicine Sect one sect five Hegemons, none of them ran away!


    However, this news was really too unexpected!


    ��Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is restored to glory?��


    ��F*ck me! That��s a Great Beyond powerhouse. How on earth did Ye Yuan that little bastard do it?��


    ��A noble exploit without equal! This is a noble exploit without equal! Old Fogey Cloudmount, you��re remarkable! You took in a remarkable disciple!��


    �� ��


    The group of ��disabled�� Hegemons was incomparably excited.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven virtually collapsed at their hands.


    But Ye Yuan��s return overcame the raging tides, and he actually virtually annihilated the blood race!


    Even the Great Beyond powerhouse, the Chaos Bloodstone, actually succumbed at his hands too!


    He achieved a noble exploit without equal that even dozens of Hegemons could not accomplish!


    At this time, there was only admiration left in their hearts.


    �� ��


    Several days later, Ye Yuan and a group of Hegemons returned, all of them carrying injuries.


    Even the incredibly powerful Long Jian sustained severe injuries too!


    In the final battle, Long Jian and Zhuo Bufan joined hands to deal with the Chaos Bloodstone, unleashing his ultimate innate divine ability, causing mutual destruction with the Chaos Bloodstone!


    Chaos Bloodstone was seriously injured once more!


    It was also precisely because of this that the Chaos Bloodstone came into being, bringing the remnant defeated forces and running away.


    In this battle, Long Jian made great contributions!


    Luan Qinghe, Imperishable, and the others, also sustained varying degrees of injuries.


    The most miserable was Ye Yuan. That attack from Wang Zuo was completely unexpected.


    Although Ye Yuan avoided a calamity by a fluke, he was actually seriously injured.


    Right now, he was carried back by Zhao Yue.


    But, no matter what, this war was fought extremely beautifully.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had a great reversal during its moment of desperation, recovering its full glory!


    Without a Hegemon Realm to hold down the fort, the remaining blood kins were already of no concern.

 Chapter 3030 - Heavenly Saint Ye!

    ��Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    ��Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    ��Ye Yuan is mighty!��


    �� ��


    The sound wave shook the sky, West Sun City boiled over with excitement.


    In these 100 hundred, they despaired more and more with each day.


    All the way until today, Ye Yuan killed back domineeringly, overturning the raging tides!


    In the hearts of the Heaven One powerhouses, Ye Yuan was already the incarnation of a god, an invincible existence!


    In fact, it already surpassed Zhuo Bufan!


    ��Hur hur, we all risked our lives and fought to the death. In the end, all the fame went to this kid. Who will we, a group of Hegemon Realms, find to reason things out with?�� Long Jian could not resist laughing as he said.


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    ��Isn��t that so? This seat��s Imperishable Soul Physique was almost scattered by that Bloodsky! In the end, there wasn��t even a single thank you,�� Hegemon Imperishable was also sour as he said.


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said rather weakly, ��The few of your contributions, this Ye bears it in mind.��


    Long Jian smiled coldly and said, ��Do you think that this seat is someone who hankers after fame and glory? This seat is finding it unjust for Younger Brother Bufan! To talk about contribution, who in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven can beat him? In the end, the moment you punk came back, you snatched away all of his contributions!��


    Ye Yuan��s face turned black. This old man was intentionally making things difficult for him!


    This sowing of discord had no good intentions behind it.


    However, Zhuo Bufan did not care and said with a smile, ��When a swordsman does things, it��s based on their own conscience! As for contributions, Bufan has never thought about it before. When it comes to contributions, Bufan might really not be able to match up to Brother Ye. He walked out of Rainclear Continent and rendered amazing merit starting from Saint Sovereign Heaven. Without him, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would have long turned to ashes, and Bufan probably wouldn��t have had the chance to corroborate my Dao.��


    Long Jian was speechless. This sowing of discord was considered to have failed.


    He sighed emotionally and said, ��Although Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is a low-level plane, it produced many outstanding figures. How admirable!��


    The Hegemons who came to help nodded their heads one after another.


    Cloudmount��s and Blacksun��s self-sacrifice, Zhuo Bufan��s willingness to die rather than yield, many Hegemons fighting until their last breath, all these events moved them.


    This was really very hard to see in other planes.


    Reaching Hegemon Realm, transcending samsara, one could live for countless years. Who had no qualms about dying?


    As long as they were willing, they could have abandoned Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and left. Nobody would have been able to do anything about them.


    But no one retreated!


    Were they fighting for themselves?


    No!


    These Hegemons were fighting for trillions of lives!


    ��Hahaha �� I knew that you, this kid, won��t let your master down! Beautifully done, kid!�� Cloudmount laughed loudly and came up to greet.


    He was carried by Zhou Pinespring. Cloudmount himself was no longer able to fly.


    Cloudmount��s right arm was already gone. His entire person overflowed with an old aura, like a flickering candle in the wind.


    But at this time, Cloudmount was full of high spirits and vigorous, not caring in the slightest.


    He was proud of this disciple!


    ��Master, thankfully, I didn��t fail the mission!�� Ye Yuan felt upset but still said solemnly.


    This old man was worthy of respect!


    Even Long Jian and the rest also bowed down to Cloudmount.


    Cloudmount hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, ��The few of you mustn��t do this. This old man is merely a Peak Hegemon. I have to salute when I meet everyone! You all are killing this old man like this!��


    Long Jian said solemnly, ��Brother Cloudmount is deserving of this bow!��


    Feeling the sincerity of Long Jian and the rest, Cloudmount stopped putting up a pretense of dignity and said with a smile, ��Cloudmount thanks everyone for lending a helping hand on behalf of my ignoble disciple! I, this old fellow, am already crippled, but I still have several disciples under me. Although they are incompetent, they can still help everyone out. If everyone needs help, feel free to speak up.��


    Long Jian nodded and said, ��Then, I��ll have to thank Brother Cloudmount very much!��


    After a bout of small talk, the powerhouses went to treat their injuries.


    The news of Heaven One��s great victory was also in the midst of continuous fermentation.


    The entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had completely sunk into the sea of wild ecstasy.


    At this moment, countless powerhouses hugged each other and cried without any care for their face.


    The deeds of Ye Yuan bringing all the powerhouses back and crushing the blood race were turned into all kinds of versions, reaching every corner of the world.


    Although the likes of Zhuo Bufan and Cloudmount were similarly capable of evoking praises and tears, the person who determined the victory was Ye Yuan!


    ��I heard that back then, the Heaven One Hegemons and blood race Hegemons had a great battle. Hegemon Bufan nearly died. Ye Yuan descended from the sky with celestial soldiers, even killing a blood race Hegemon with one punch! Then he brought ten great Supreme Hegemons and swept away the blood race!��


    ��Your boasting has no limit, right? Isn��t Ye Yuan Emperor Vast Heaven? How did he kill a Hegemon Realm with one punch?��


    ��Hur hur, what the hell do you know! Ye Yuan this person can��t be gauged with common sense! Have you seen before any Emperor Vast Heaven that could bring ten Hegemon Realms back? Have you seen before a Saint Sovereign Heaven who could defeat Hegemon Realm Bloodsky? Have you seen before ����


    ��Uh, now that you say so, it really makes sense! Indeed, it��s impossible for this sort of thing to happen to others. But it��s really possible when it comes to Ye Yuan!��


    ��No way. I��m going to join the Extreme Medicine Sect! In this life, I��ll only follow Heavenly Saint Ye��s footsteps!��


    ��Come, come, come! Go together!��


    �� ��


    There was a saint after a great calamity!


    A saint that came down from heaven!


    Ye Yuan obtained the title of ��heavenly saint�� no idea since when.


    The entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven fell into fanatic worship of Ye Yuan.


    The current Ye Yuan had already been deified.


    The miracle battles in the past had all been dug out by his worshipers.


    Although he was only Emperor Vast Heaven Realm, in the eyes of those fanatic worshipers, he was invincible!


    No matter how strong your opponent was, I could blow him up with just one punch!


    Hence, the name Heavenly Saint Ye�� gradually spread in the Heaven One Alliance.


    This limelight completely overshadowed Zhuo Bufan.


    Of course, Zhuo Bufan, Cloudmount, and the rest had their own supporters.


    But compared to Ye Yuan, that was far lacking.


    At the same time, Heaven One��s counterattack was also actively being carried out.


    Feng Xiaotian and the rest of the completely unscathed Hegemons led the Heaven One army and swept away the blood race��s remnant defeated troops.


    Those who did not have Hegemon Realms could not stand up to a single blow in front of Hegemon Realm powerhouses at all.


    A month later, the injuries of all the powerhouses were somewhat in remission, and they gathered together.


    When Long Jian saw Ye Yuan, he bowed respectfully and said, ��Paying respect to Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    Hegemon Imperishable also bowed and said, ��Paying respect to Heavenly Saint Ye! Heavenly Saint Ye is invincible!��


    Feng Qingxuan also gave a deep bow and said, ��Heavenly Saint Ye will live for generations to come and unify Heaven One!��


    By the side, everyone from Heaven One tried their best to hold back their laughter.


    Ye Yuan��s face became black as the bottom of a pot, and he said in a solemn voice, ��There��s no fun if you all are like this!��


    Long Jian said in surprise, ��How can it not be fun? Heavenly Saint Ye��s punch is invincible. Although we are Supreme Hegemons, we have to be careful too!��


    Ye Yuan��s teeth creaked from grinding, and he said with a cold smile, ��When I step into Hegemon, I��ll definitely blow you up with one punch!


    Long Jian smiled and said, ��Don��t! You can blow me up with one punch right now. You don��t need to step into the Hegemon Realm at all!��


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said crossly, ��Alright, alright, are you guys done yet! Now isn��t the time to make jokes! One reversal can��t turn the battle situation of all the heavens around! The most important thing now is to find Hegemon Samsara! I asked Hegemon Mi Tian that if there��s anyone in this world that��s his match, then there��s only Hegemon Samsara!��

 Chapter 3031 - Labyrinth Divine Palace Appears!

    ��Find him? Give up hope! This old thing is mysterious to the extreme. Unless he takes the initiative to show himself, otherwise, no one can think about finding him! However, this old thing is really strong. Back then, if the Labyrinth Divine Palace did not disturb his cultivation, they would have probably long succeeded in unifying all the heavens!�� Long Jian knocked him down without the slightest mercy.


    Hegemon Samsara was the most mysterious existence among the Hegemons in all the heavens!


    Similarly, an existence that was the worst to provoke!


    No one knew how strong he was. But, without a doubt, his strength was sufficient to make everyone hold him in awe and veneration.


    If one could find someone that could confront the Chaos Bloodstone in all the heavens, then it was none other than him.


    But unfortunately, if he did not take the initiative to show himself, no one could find him.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze turned to Hegemon Soul Intent. The latter smiled bitterly and said, ��Nobody can find Progenitor Samsara, including Lord Heavenly Soul!��


    Ye Yuan also sighed when he heard that and said, ��We inflicted heavy wounds on Blood Twenty Three. This is the best chance to utterly defeat him. He has already obtained four great chaos true spirit bloodlines. Once he studies it thoroughly, his strength will likely be unimaginable. After Blood Twenty Three��s strength completely recovers, he might really be able to transcend the Great Beyond! Sigh, what a pity!��


    Ye Yuan learned from Long Jian and the rest that this Chaos Bloodstone was called Blood Twenty Three.


    Everyone also guessed that the Chaos Bloodstone��s clones in all the heavens were actually numbered in numeral order.


    / Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XNOVEL.C0M


    For example, the Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven��s clone was called Blood Two.


    With regards to this kind of situation, everyone also felt very regretful. But Hegemon Samsara, this kind of existence, was simply within sight but beyond reach.


    Everything could only be left up to fate.


    A discussion without a conclusion, in the end, they could only disperse on their own.


    The great battle stabilizing, Long Jian and the others naturally did not have the need to stay behind either and returned on their own.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had a Zhuo Bufan holding down the fort. It was sufficient to defend themselves for the time being.


    Ye Yuan was also not someone who placed his hopes on others.


    Therefore, he also was secretly determined to work harder at cultivation.


    Having missed this opportunity, Ye Yuan felt that in the future, the Chaos Bloodstone would probably reach an extremely terrifying realm.


    It might be possible that even Hegemon Samsara would not be a match too!


    Of course, he was currently unable to understand that kind of realm, it was just a strong feeling.


    Thus, for everything, he could only rely on himself.


    Several thousand years later, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven welcomed a period of rare tranquility.


    There were a thousand things that needed to be done.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect had already become Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s supreme holy land, becoming the leader sect of all the major factions.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan and Zhuo Bufan worked out plans and started to rest and recuperate.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect, as well as the various major factions, opened up their resources to all martial artists.


    Ten years later, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven also gradually got on the right track.


    And in these ten years, Ye Yuan inquired for intel from all worlds. The blood race seemed to have ceased all activities, suddenly disappearing without a trace.


    This piece of news made Ye Yuan even more uneasy.


    People with a discerning eye all knew that this was the quiet before the storm!


    After the Chaos Bloodstone emerges, that would be a battle that swept across all the heavens!


    Fortunately, Ye Yuan and the others inflicted heavy wounds on Blood Twenty Three. If the Chaos Bloodstone wanted to transcend the Great Beyond, it would not be that easy too.


    For more than ten years, Ye Yuan did research on bloodlines while cultivating.


    Jiang Zhennan still had some deformities but already mostly recovered, and he did not seem so frightening anymore.


    For the sake of his brothers who suffered the same disaster as him, he was willing to be Ye Yuan��s experiment.


    However, the result of the experiments made him more and more ecstatic.


    He really saw hope!


    Of course, Zhao Yue��s situation was more complicated than theirs. Ye Yuan was also at a loss on what to do for some time.


    Thus, Jiang Zhennan became even more respectful and held even greater esteem for Ye Yuan.


    This kind of peaceful situation lasted all the way until the 17th year after the war.


    On that day, all the heavens shook!


    Above the void, an enormous group of palaces emerged!


    It looked like a mirage.


    Those palaces were towering and grandiose, giving people a heavy feeling of majesty.


    ��What is this? Why do I feel like it��s the end of the world? Could it be that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is going to suffer a great calamity again?��


    ��What a mysterious palace! Why do I feel like I��m suffocating from so far away?��


    ��You guys, look! There��s a passageway there that seems to lead straight to the palaces!��


    �� ��


    Above the palaces, a passageway extended out.


    It was just that the people were wavering and not advancing, not daring to go to the passageway.


    Suddenly, several powerful auras appeared above the void.


    The moment people looked, their hearts immediately calmed down greatly.


    The arrivals were precisely Zhuo Bufan and Ye Yuan and the others.


    Ye Yuan looked at the palace phantoms in the distance. A familiar feeling arose spontaneously.


    ��Is that �� the Labyrinth Divine Palace?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Labyrinth Divine Palace?�� Zhuo Bufan was somewhat confused. Clearly, he did not know about the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace swept across all the heavens back then, causing countless casualties. But it also formed a disjointed generation in that era.


    Apart from some of the old fellows, there were not many people who knew about the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was already ruled by the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then.


    Even Cloudmount, this kind of powerhouse, was also a Hegemon powerhouse who rose up after the Labyrinth Divine Palace fell.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��It��s the Labyrinth Divine Palace. There��s no mistake! This is the real Labyrinth Divine Palace, where their holy land is!��


    This palace��s style and aura were exactly the same as the small Labyrinth Divine Palace that Ye Yuan had once entered.


    But that kind of abstruse aura was much stronger than the small Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan determined that this must be the real Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    It was just that why would this Labyrinth Divine Palace appear here?


    He recounted the origins of the Labyrinth Divine Palace, making everyone dumbfounded from listening.


    A Hegemon said with a solemn expression, ��You��re saying that after the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s war, the entire holy land went missing. Why did it suddenly appear here now? Could it be that they are going to stage a comeback again?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��This palace is very illusory. It��s not where its main body is! Being able to create such an effect for a palace, this method is truly inconceivable! It��s just that this palace has a lifeless atmosphere. It has probably long been desolate. It probably won��t bounce back.��


    That Hegemon Realm expert then said somewhat fearfully, ��But, even I, this Hegemon Realm, feel a huge crisis!��


    This palace gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    In this world, there were not many places that could make Hegemon Realms feel danger.


    Zhuo Bufan suddenly said, ��Why don��t I go and probe it first?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I know that Brother Zhuo��s Sword Dao is fearless, but the terror of the Labyrinth Divine Palace isn��t what you can imagine! Although you��re a Supreme Hegemon, if there��s really a danger, you might not be able to escape too! We��d better not act rashly without careful consideration.��


    Suddenly, the void trembled, and a middle-aged man suddenly appeared before everyone.


    The moment the middle-aged man appeared, he looked toward the palace in the air, his expression solemn.


    Ye Yuan��s eyes lit up, and he said with joy, ��Senior Mi Tian, I was just about to go find you. I didn��t expect that you would actually come!��


    Mi Tian nodded his head and said, ��Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven indeed has it too!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he said, ��Why? Could it be that the Labyrinth Divine Palace actually appeared in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven too?��

 Chapter 3032 - Heavenless!

    Mi Tian nodded his head and said, ��That��s right! If my guesses are correct, the Labyrinth Divine Palace should have appeared in the 33 Heavens!��


    ��Hiss ����


    Everyone present could not resist drawing a cold breath,


    ��This Labyrinth Divine Palace is also too powerful, right?��


    ��Establishing passageways in the 33 Heavens at the same time, this is truly incredible skill!��


    ��Hasn��t the Labyrinth Divine Palace already fallen for hundreds of thousands of years? What is coming up with this for?��


    �� ��


    Everyone was incomparably shocked. This display was seriously too grand.


    Even Great Beyond Realm powerhouses could not do it to this extent too.


    This Labyrinth Divine Palace��s might had already exceeded everyone��s imagination.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    ��How can this be? Could it be that the Labyrinth Divine Palace really rose again from the ashes?�� Ye Yuan said with a frown.


    A Chaos Bloodstone already sent the 33 Heavens into a precarious situation.


    Adding in a Labyrinth Divine Palace, that would really be turning things completely upside down.


    The blood race had just stopped for a few days, and the Labyrinth Divine Palace came out to cause trouble again.


    ��Heavenless, this fellow, is a genius and also a madman! Nobody knows what he wants to do! However, since he caused such a big hoo-ha, I reckon that �� he probably hasn��t given up yet!�� Mi Tian looked at the Labyrinth Divine Palace and said with a heart loaded with worries.


    Heavenless was the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s last palace master!


    This person��s strength was formidable until it reached the horizon.


    Back then, many Great Beyond powerhouses joined forces and could not do anything to him either.


    It was only when Hegemon Samsara made a move that they were able to suppress Heavenless.


    However, that did not mean that his strength was weaker than Hegemon Samsara!


    Because who he faced were the entire 33 Heavens�� powerhouses!


    It was just that the powerhouses present did not know how strong Heavenless was. But they felt that Mi Tian was very strong!


    In fact, he was even stronger than those Supreme Hegemons who came back then.


    Then his identity was obvious.


    Great Beyond powerhouse!


    Ye Yuan this fellow was actually talking in a jovial manner with such a powerhouse!


    Indeed well-deserving of being Heavenly Saint Ye, impressive!


    At this time, the wind and clouds surged above the void.


    Finally, it turned into a figure.


    That figure had an unmatched heroic spirit, looking down on the world as if everything in the world was not in his sights.


    When Mi Tian saw that figure, his entire body could not help trembling.


    ��Heavenless!��


    Right at this time, Heavenless opened his mouth.


    ��I am called Heavenless! Heavenless in defying human and heavenly laws1! You all might not know who this seat is. It doesn��t matter. I��ll let you all witness this seat��s strength first!��


    It was only to see Heavenless smack a palm down before his voice faded.


    In an instant, everyone��s expression changed wildly.


    In an instant, it was like the sky had fallen down.


    Everyone present, no matter if they were strong or weak, all felt like they were going to die.


    Boom!


    With a single palm pressing down, the earth quaked, and rivers flowed in reverse!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s three continents trembled, with mountains swaying.


    Even those Hegemons in the air also fell down one after another, unable to stand firm.


    Only Mi Tian could stand firm under this palm.


    Zhuo Bufan��s figure shook heavily, his body bursting forth with an unparalleled powerful sword intent. Only then did he stabilize his figure.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan did not fall under Mi Tian��s care.


    At this time, there were only the three of them still standing in the air!


    ��S-So strong! This kind of strength is simply unreasonable!��


    ��Why do I feel like he can demolish Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven with a palm!��


    ��Great Beyond powerhouses aren��t strong to this extent either, right?��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan drew a cold breath. This Heavenless was too strong!


    He had always heard Mi Tian say that the Labyrinth Divine Palace swept across all the heavens back then and was just a tiny bit away from succeeding.


    Actually, in his heart, he more or less still felt that it was somewhat exaggerated.


    After all, there were still so many Great Beyond powerhouses across all the heavens.


    But today, he believed it!


    This Hegemon Heavenless was really unbelievably strong!


    Furthermore, this was just a phantom!


    If his original self was here, he could really level Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven to the ground!


    But, even if it was a phantom, it was shocking enough already too!


    No idea how long had passed either, everything returned to tranquility. Heavenless continued, ��You all must be very curious why I��d suddenly appear, and why did I demonstrate my might to you all! Actually, it��s very simple. This seat needs a successor! And you all, also need to become this seat��s successor!��


    ��Back then, on the brink of this seat��s demise, I predicted that several hundred thousand years later, the 33 Heavens will still have another calamity! This calamity will be even more terrifying than the Labyrinth Divine Palace! And you all need to accept this seat��s legacy before you can make it through this calamity! This seat was unwilling, unwilling to disappear from this heaven and earth, so I hid the Labyrinth Divine Palace in the Eternal River with a great divine ability!��


    ��Now, this seat has returned. Your chance has also come! Passing through this passageway, you all will be able to reach the Labyrinth Divine Palace! Then you all will go through layers of selection, entering the real Labyrinth Divine Palace! This seat will wait for you all here!��


    Finished saying, Heavenless disappeared.


    These words sounded out in all planes of the 33 Heavens at the same time.


    All the heavens were shocked!


    Without a doubt, this was an extremely terrifying existence!


    Becoming his successor, one would undoubtedly become a paramount existence of the 33 Heavens!


    Even Great Beyond powerhouses would not be a match too!


    This temptation was really great!


    Furthermore, Heavenless even pointed out that he had long predicted the calamity of the blood race.


    This method was for the sake of dealing with the blood race.


    Pray tell, who would not be moved?


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, there were already many people who were raring for action, wanting to enter the passageway.


    ��What do you think, Senior?�� Ye Yuan asked with a frown.


    Mi Tian smiled bitterly and said, ��Heavenless isn��t someone loves who do philanthropic work! He must have other goals in doing so! However �� if one can really obtain his inheritance, they might really have hopes of resolving the peril of the blood race!��


    Ye Yuan said in surprise, ��He��s so strong?��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��Stronger than you imagine! The second door is a realm with a huge disparity! Each step taken is incredibly difficult. His strength back then was not beneath Samsara��s!��


    Even Ye Yuan could not help drawing a breath of cold air too.


    He did not expect that this Heavenless was actually strong until such an extent!


    ��Actually, you humans are the race with unlimited potential! You all don��t have powerful innate conditions but can be on equal footing with the various races from all heavens. This already illustrates the problem! Your comprehension ability and disposition are unmatched by the other races! And Heavenless is the strongest genius born in these countless tens of thousands of years! If not for him being too radical back then, he might have long already transcended the Great Beyond!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, ��In that case, this is an openly done scheme? Even if you all, these old seniors are still around and know what he did back then, you��re still going to enter it?��


    Mi Tian nodded his head and did not deny it.


    Ye Yuan frowned and said, ��Then is he dead or not?��


    Mi Tian thought about it and said, ��Back then, Old Man Samsara led 17 Great Beyond powerhouses and inflicted serious injuries on him, and surrounded him at the shore of the Eternal River! He saw that the situation was beyond salvation, so he jumped into the Eternal River! No one can survive in the Eternal River!��


    He did not answer Ye Yuan directly, but Ye Yuan discerned some uncertainty from his words.


    No one could survive in the Eternal River, but it did not mean that Heavenless could not either!


    Even so, this chance was very slim!

 Chapter 3033 - Vertical Heaven Stairs!

    Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven, one of humanity��s three great heavens.


    This place was humanity��s world. It had the human race��s top major powers.


    Of course, the geniuses here were also akin to schools of carps crossing the river, beyond counting.


    Above the void, several figures looked down, their faces full of pride.


    ��Heh, a group of ant-like things. Do they really think that there��s something like a meat pie falling from the sky in this world? Even if they pass through this Vertical Heaven Stairs, would this inheritance really fall on their heads?��


    The one who spoke was a young master. He was called Zuo Qingyang, the direct descendant of the Zuo Family that was the top noble family of Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven.


    He and these few people around him, were all the most talented juniors of Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven.


    Their strength was unfathomable.


    These few people were, respectively, the Melody Nether Heavenly Sect��s Lu Haoran, the Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion��s Wang Ningyan, and the Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s Zhou Xianchen.


    These four great factions virtually represented the apex of the human race!


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    Back then, the Labyrinth Divine Palace fell, but it pushed the human race to the apex of all the heavens.


    Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven, Vast Court Firmament Limit Heaven, and Han Chong Miao Cheng Heaven rose domineeringly and were called humanity��s three supreme heavens!


    Humanity��s three supreme heavens with 13 major factions and more than 10 Great Beyond Realm mighty experts could even suppress Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven by a notch.


    Zuo Qingyang, Lu Haoran, Wang Ningyan, and Zhou Xianchen, this batch of people, virtually represented the strongest standards in all the heavens for humanity��s young generation!


    Each of these people had the strength to jump realms and fight. They were strong to the extreme!


    Therefore, the numerous living beings below them naturally could not enter their sights.


    Vertical Heaven Stairs was that passageway leading to the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Only by passing through the passageway was it considered completing the first test.


    In every heaven and myriad worlds, how many did the human race numbered? Naturally, not everyone had the qualifications to enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    ��Tch, said it like this meat pie can smash on your head!�� Zhou Xianchen said with a disdainful look.


    Zuo Qingyang was not angry either, saying coolly, ��Who doesn��t know how to brag? Actions speak louder than words. It��s time to see what someone is worth in a while.��


    Unparalleled beauty Wang Ningyan, she was like her name, as if she was otherworldly.


    It seemed like glancing at her would blaspheme her sacred face.


    Only to see her slowly open her mouth and speak as beautifully as heavenly melody, ��Brother Zuo makes sense. Actually, there��s no need for this kind of selection at all. Disregarding the other races, just talking about humanity, those who break out in the end won��t exceed the scope of 13 major factions. There��s no need for those low-level planes at all. That Heavenless is amazingly talented. He can even predict the future. But, in my view, it��s also nothing more than this.��


    Zhou Xianchen and the rest nodded one after another.


    Actually, they were very much in agreement with this kind of view.


    It was just that these people were also secretly contending with each other and deliberately ridiculing the other party. That was all.


    Zuo Qingyang said, ��Can��t be bothered to be long-winded with you guys here anymore. I��m going down first! It��s time to let these ants feel ashamed of their unworthiness and beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.��


    Finished talking, Zuo Qingyang��s figure moved and entered the Vertical Heaven Stairs.


    Zhou Xianchen��s mouth curled, and he said, ��This guy is really someone who��ll itch all over his body if he doesn��t posture for one day!��


    Sure enough, a series of exclamations came over from the Vertical Heaven Stairs very quickly.


    ��So fast! Who is that, to actually be able to ignore the Great Dao pressure!��


    ��That��s the Zuo Family��s Zuo Qingyang! Well-deserving to be called the number one young master across all the heavens, his strength is really too strong!��


    ��With him around, so what even if we climb up the Vertical Heaven Stairs?��


    ��Sigh, the gap is too big! I knew that I was hitting above my league! But, I��m really unwilling!��


    ��Everyone, don��t give up! Even if you can��t obtain the inheritance, as long as you can enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace, the harvest will be huge too!��


    �� ��


    Within the Vertical Heaven Stairs, many people started to feel ashamed of their unworthiness.


    But, some people were naturally stubborn and were not willing to give up easily.


    It was just that at this time, it was long already a blurry mess of flesh and blood within the Vertical Heaven Stairs?


    Vertical Heaven Stairs, 99,999 steps. The higher up, the greater the Great Dao pressure.


    Some people could not withstand the Great Dao pressure and were directly crushed into minced meat.


    Just this difficulty was hell-level.


    Those who were not true geniuses could not climb these hundred-thousand-step stairs at all.


    However, this Great Dao pressure was very fair.


    It had no requirement on cultivation realm. What it tested was only understanding of Dao.


    Even if you were only Lesser Sublime Heavenly Stratum, if your understanding of Dao was very deep, there was hope to pass the test too.


    It was fine if cultivation realm was low; one could slowly comprehend.


    Suddenly, several more figures in the crowd went up quickly. It was precisely Lu Haoran and the rest.


    The three people turned into three afterimages, chasing right after Zuo Qingyang, the speed swift until the fleshy eye could not see clearly.


    The three people��s appearance naturally set off another wave in the Vertical Heaven Stairs.


    These four people��s strengths were seriously too strong.


    Others had difficulty moving their feet on the Vertical Heaven Stairs, but they were akin to flat ground.


    They even displayed movement techniques, not affected in the slightest.


    This could not help making everyone sigh emotionally. The difference between people was really too great.


    The four people��s movement techniques were extremely fast. The first 50 thousand steps could not stop their footsteps at all.


    After 50 thousand, their speed gradually slowed down. But, they were much stronger than the rest too.


    Regarding the steps in front, the Great Dao pressure was negligible to them.


    Therefore, these few people were virtually running neck to neck.


    All the way until 70 thousand steps later, some disparity finally gradually showed.


    ��Heh, Zuo Qingyang, you��re too slow! At this rate, you��ll be caught up to by me!�� Lu Haoran said.


    Among the few people, he talked the least, but his strength was very strong.


    Of course, the few of their strengths were all almost on par. Even if they were worse, they were also not much worse.


    But, concerning this Vertical Heaven Stairs, 99,999 steps could divide the strength clearly.


    Some things were obvious at a glance.


    Sure enough, Zuo Qingyang had a black face and did not say a word.


    However, Zuo Qingyang was not willing to easily admit defeat either and mustered up all of his strength.


    Swoosh!


    Zuo Qingyang��s figure leaped, directly jumping onto the platform.


    He looked at the Lu Haoran behind him and ridiculed, ��Lu Haoran, Zhou Xianchen, you guys are merely thus! However, Fairy Ningyan being in the first place, this Zuo is convinced!��


    What this Vertical Heaven Stairs competed in was time.


    He was the first to enter the Vertical Heaven Stairs. That was why he was first to climb up to the platform.


    But at this time, the time that Wang Ningyan used was the least.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Three figures virtually got on the platform right after another.


    And below them, people were still working hard to climb.


    These four people actually caught up from behind. The first batch climbed onto the platform.


    Lu Haoran said coolly, ��What are you being smug for? I only used 80% of my strength. You��ve probably already used all of your strength, right?��


    Zhou Xianchen also said disdainfully, ��I only used 80% of my strength too. This position of first place naturally has to be given to Fairy Ningyan!��


    Wang Ningyan��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Why? Could it be that my first place still needs to be handed out as charity by you guys?��


    Zhou Xianchen smiled and said, ��Look at this mouth of mine. Fairy Ningyan is the number one fairy maiden across all the heavens. Why would she need others to give alms? I was only angering Zuo Qingyang earlier. Fairy Ningyan��s first place is well-deserved!��


    Wang Ningyang snorted coldly and said coolly, ��Stop being talkative. Let��s go take a look at the All-Heavens List, and see who��s number one on this Vertical Heaven Stairs!��

 Chapter 3034 - Competition Between Myriad Races!

    ��What��s there to look at? The All-Heavens List��s number one is definitely Qin Baichuan, that dead-person face!�� Zuo Qingyang said crossly.


    Qin Baichuan, Vast Court Firmament Limit Heaven��s Bright Yellow Heavenly Sect��s number one person.


    Of course, he was also the strongest genius of humanity��s three supreme heavens!


    Zuo Qingyang and the rest were peerlessly talented too, but compared to Qin Baichuan, they were still a notch worse.


    ��That might not be the case! Many years have already passed since the three heaven��s competition! I, Wang Ningyang, don��t feel like I��ll lose to that dead-person face!�� Wang Ningyan said unconvincedly.


    Zhou Xianchen also said, ��Right, I��ve always been unconvinced by that dead-person face! These few years, I��ve suffered a lot in order to defeat him! I don��t believe that I, Zhou Xianchen, will be worse than others!��


    These geniuses were all existences standing at the peak of all the heavens. They even had hope of stepping into the Great Beyond Realm in the future.


    How could they submit to people easily?


    In their eyes, their opponents were always just themselves.


    A large rock was standing erect at a remote end of the platform.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    On the large rock, many names were engraved densely.


    This was the All-Heavens Stone that recorded the Vertical Heaven Stairs�� results ranking.


    The top ten names were especially eminent!


    The aura of Great Dao emitted from the gilded large characters.


    Everyone looked over. Wang Ningyan��s name was shockingly ranked first!


    ��Haha, congratulations Fair Ningyan, for overpowering all the heavens!�� Zuo Qingyang said with a loud laugh.


    Wang Ningyan had a peerless aptitude. These few people naturally had the heart to court her.


    Therefore, they were all showing it openly and covertly.


    Zhou Xianchen also said, ��Fairy Ningyan is impressive! Huang Zhen and Yang Daiyun have also lost to you this time! Fairy Maiden has gained face for our Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven this time!��


    Wang Ningyan did not get carried away and said lightly, ��Qin Baichuan hasn��t made a move. What��s there to congratulate?��


    Zuo Qingyang said, ��Fairy��s words are not right! Even if he makes his move, can he win Fairy with certainty? In my view, the odds of winning between you guys is merely 50-50!��


    Zhou Xianchen nodded and said, ��I agree with this! It��s really not flattering Fairy. Just now, the strength that Fairy exhibited, it is much stronger than during the last three heavens�� competition! It can be seen that Fairy buried yourself in cultivation these few years and also made tremendous improvements. This Zhou examines my own conscience; I��m most likely not Fairy��s match anymore.��


    These words were half flattering, half sincere.


    Many years had passed, and everyone��s strength all made tremendous improvements.


    If he really faced off against Wang Ningyan, Zhou Xianchen touched his own heart and felt that he would not lose.


    But Wang Ningyan��s improvement was indeed huge. He did not dare to underestimate it too.


    This Vertical Heaven Stairs was merely the preliminary test to them. They naturally would not bring out their full strength.


    No one would be silly enough to expose all of their trump cards here.


    Of course, they were not willing to be outdone by others. So 80% strength still had to be brought out.


    Indeed as expected, the top ten geniuses on the list, there now all the three heavens�� geniuses!


    This All-Heavens List only recorded 1000 names.


    Although the number was not little, looking across the 33 Heavens, how many geniuses were there?


    Those who could enter the top 1000 were all amazingly talented individuals. None of them were mediocre.


    However, the further behind the rankings, the greater the changes to the names.


    Many people had already been squeezed out of the top 1000.


    Rather, it was the top 10 that stood firm.


    Finally, the top 10 names moved!


    Wang Ningyan��s name actually dropped by a place!


    The name that was ranked first, was shockingly Qin Baichuan!


    ��This guy is really unwilling to be outdone by others!�� Wang Ningyan said with a sigh.


    Everyone was not surprised by this scene.


    If Qin Baichuan faded into the crowd, that would be something that surprised people.


    Up to this point, the top geniuses of humanity��s three supreme heavens, finally all go onto the All-Heavens List.


    Everything was within expectations.


    First place, Vast Court Firmament Limit Heaven, humanity��s Qin Baichuan!


    Second place, Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven, humanity��s Wang Ningyan!


    Third place, Han Chong Miao Cheng Heaven, humanity��s Lin Ruhe!


    Humanity��s three supreme heavens each occupied a place.


    The others were also crisscrossed between the three heavens, pretty much the same.


    ��Alright, the die is cast. There��s nothing to see anymore. What��s left is just waiting for the Labyrinth Divine Palace to open,�� Wang Ningyan said coolly.


    Before her voice faded, the All-Heavens List had a new change again.


    Furthermore, this change was even the first place!


    Qin Baichuan��s name was shockingly squeezed down by someone!


    ��Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, Feng Qingxuan? Why? The Vermilion Bird Clan joined in too?�� Wang Ningyan said very unhappily.


    Actually, the participation of the other races was also something within expectations.


    After all, Heavenless�� reputation was too resounding!


    Those old undyings who had experienced the chaos caused by war would definitely make their descendants come and give it a try.


    What Wang Ningyan was unhappy about was that Feng Qingxuan actually took the first place away!


    ��Hur hur, Fairy doesn��t need to be like this. How can these true spirits have as great a potential as us humans? Moreover, Fairy had not used your full strength.�� Zhou Xianchen consoled her.


    ��Yeah, these guys deliberately used all of their strength in order to snatch first place. I reckon that Qin Baichuan didn��t use his full strength too,�� Zuo Qingyang said.


    Wang Ningyan just gave a cold snort and did not speak.


    But her gaze never left the All-Heavens List.


    The other few people also started paying attention to the All-Heavens List.


    They all realized that the inheritance struggle this time would probably be unusually fierce.


    Very soon, a change happened to the All-Heavens List again.


    The second place Qin Baichuan was squeezed to third place!


    The second name shockingly became Infinite Overcast Oath Heaven, fiend race��s Kong Tan!


    With this, everyone was no longer calm.


    Before long, changes happened to the All-Heavens List again.


    The third place Qin Baichuan was squeezed to fourth place!


    The third place name became Thoughtless River Reason Heaven, feather race��s Yu Ran!


    Feather race!


    The top three places were occupied by the Fire Phoenix Clan, fiend race, and feather race respectively.


    Humanity��s geniuses were actually all suppressed!


    ��Damn it! If I knew long ago, I should have gone all out! Now, it��s really an utter loss of face!�� Wang Ningyan��s face revealed a hint of frostiness.


    She was already squeezed to fifth place!


    This ranking made her, a proud person, somewhat unable to accept it.


    Even Zuo Qing and the rest had their intestines turn green with regret too.


    They felt very depressed, having a feeling like they were schemed against by someone.


    Heavenless�� move was too ruthless. This was stewing the myriad races in all the heavens in one pot!


    This kind of competition was too fierce!


    It was really a single misstep that would bring everlasting regret!


    ��Sigh, we��d have exerted our full strength if we knew earlier! With Fairy Ningyan��s strength, overpowering that Fire Phoenix Clan��s little wench is absolutely a sure deal!�� Zuo Qingyang said.


    He was already squeezed to ninth place!


    Right at this time, a change happened to the ranking list again!


    This time, the change was the first place!


    Feng Qingxuan was squeezed to second!


    First place, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, human race��s Yang Qing!


    Wang Ningyan and the rest exchanged glances with shock on their faces.


    ��Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, what the hell?��


    ��A human that came out of this kind of low-level plane actually overpowered the Vermilion Bird Clan, fiend race, and feather race?��


    ��Where did this guy pop out from?��


    �� ��


    These few human heaven��s chosen all had struck senseless faces. They were all regretting what happened but did not think that a nameless person who came out of a low-level plane actually suppressed the juniors of myriad races, becoming number one!

 Chapter 3035 - First Place, Lackluster!

    ��The first place is actually not Ye Yuan?�� Feng Qingxuan stared at the All-Heavens List, her brows slightly furrowed.


    In her view, Ye Yuan was the well-deserved number one.


    What was with this Yang Qing?


    ��In my view, he shouldn��t have climbed the Vertical Heaven Stairs yet, right? He comprehended chaos Great Dao and also fused with the four great true spirit bloodlines. It��s impossible to be worse than us,�� Long He said.


    His results were pretty good too, squeezing into the top five.


    After losing to Ye Yuan, Long He also reflected on the bitter lesson, and he actually broke through to half chaos grade bloodline a few days ago!


    ��This time, the geniuses in all the heavens will definitely be making a move. The competition will be extremely fierce! But, up until now, the vast majority of the geniuses have already made a move. Is this guy deliberately going to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat at the end?�� Feng Qingxuan said unhappily.


    At this time, the competition of the All-Heavens List had already entered the white-hot stage.


    The top ten names were constantly refreshing.


    Wang Ningyan, Zuo Qingyang, and the others were already squeezed out of the top ten.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    Even Feng Qingxuan was squeezed to third place too.


    However, Yang Qing stood very firm and actually kept occupying the throne of first place!


    Along with the passage of time, the geniuses from all the heavens became more and more shocked.


    They were curious, just where on earth did this guy called Yang Qing pop out from?


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was a low-level plane in the eyes of all the heavens�� powerhouses.


    It should have been impossible for a true genius to appear here.


    But it was in such a plane that actually suppressed the 33 Heavens�� countless geniuses!


    They �� were not convinced!


    On the platform, Yang Qing looked at the All-Heavens List with somewhat waned interest.


    His mouth curled and he said, ��Ye Yuan this guy is really lame! Without him, so what even if I suppress the geniuses of myriad worlds? Sigh, boring! Really boring! Those guys haven��t come up yet?��


    At this time, human heads were moving on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Vertical Heaven Stairs!


    A large group of young powerhouses was following behind Ye Yuan with no end in sight!


    What was different from other planes was that there were actually not many corpses on the Vertical Heaven Stairs here.


    It was only to see Ye Yuan step on the highest step. He opened his mouth and said, ��Everybody, watch closely!��


    He held his palm out, a cluster of chaos divine essence condensed.


    Then, chaos evolved, and myriad life was born. Ye Yuan seemed like a god who controlled the world.


    A lingering charm of Dao arose spontaneously.


    Ye Yuan put away the divine ability and said, ��Understood?��


    Some people��s eyes were bright, clearly understanding fully.


    Some people��s eyes were somewhat confused.


    Some people simply shook their heads.


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��ll demonstrate again. Everyone watch closely! If you still don��t understand, just back out!��


    Hence, Ye Yuan demonstrated the Dao just now again.


    Those hazy eyes previously also became bright at this time.


    ��I got it!��


    ��I got it too!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye��s Dao elucidation really goes from the easy to the difficult and complicated! What I originally didn��t understand suddenly dawned upon me! Even if I can��t climb up the Vertical Heaven Stairs, this trip wasn��t in vain too!��


    ��Many thanks, Heavenly Saint Ye! We��ll be leaving!��


    �� ��


    In the back row, some people gave Ye Yuan a bow and withdrew from the Vertical Heaven Stairs.


    In the Vertical Heaven Stairs, one could choose to withdraw within a certain range.


    But, once you rushed onto the steps blindly and entered the scope of Great Dao where you were muddleheaded, it would be dangerous.


    Those people who were crushed to death by Great Dao were all like this.


    If there were geniuses from all the heavens here, they would definitely be shocked to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan actually controlled Great Dao in front of everyone!


    He was actually going to bring these people behind him and climb the Vertical Heaven Stairs together!


    This was simply amazing!


    Originally, Yang Qing had also mustered all his strength, preparing to compete with Ye Yuan.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not have the intention of competing at all.


    Therefore, his first place was obtained boringly.


    The Great Dao pressure on the Vertical Heaven Stairs was very strong and also very abstruse.


    But, to the Ye Yuan who had already comprehended Chaos Great Dao, it was very easy to understand.


    This was Heavenless�� Dao and not the true Heavenly Dao.


    Furthermore, the Great Dao pressure in the Vertical Heaven Stairs was only targeted at those under Hegemon Realm.


    Hegemon Realms entering the Vertical Heaven Stairs would make the Vertical Heaven Stairs directly crumble.


    Therefore, in the inheritance battle this time, Hegemon Realms were unable to enter.


    Ye Yuan evolved the Great Dao in the Vertical Heaven Stairs with the method of the chaos divine essence. It was very intuitive and very easy to understand.


    To many people who had decent talent, they understood in a snap.


    And those people who could not understand, even if they climbed the Vertical Heaven Stairs, it was useless too.


    Time slowly passed, and the people behind Ye Yuan got fewer and fewer, but their strength got stronger and stronger.


    Going up the stairs, they had walked for half a year long!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan leaped and climbed onto the platform.


    Yang Qing had a look of excitement and could not resist posturing as he said, ��Hahaha, you finally came up! Quickly come to the All-Heavens List and take a look, I, Emperor Azuresky, suppress myriad worlds, valiantly taking the All-Heavens List��s first place! Originally, if you competed with this emperor, you might have been able to scrape through with a second place, but a pity, a pity!��


    Before his voice faded, one figure after another flew out of the passageway and landed on the platform.


    At this time, the crowd was like a group of fish in the ocean currents; densely packed, making Yang Qing see things in a blur.


    Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised as he said, ��33 Heavens, the geniuses are as plentiful as oxen fur. You actually suppressed the geniuses of myriad races?��


    He knew that Yang Qing was formidable but did not expect that Yang Qing was actually so impressive.


    Disregarding other things, he knew that Feng Qingxuan��s and Long He��s talents, both belonged to extremely strong existences!


    He did not expect that they were suppressed by Yang Qing too.


    ��Hahaha, that��s of course! What kind of genius is this emperor? What do the geniuses of all the heavens and myriad races count for?�� Yang Qing showed off.


    Ye Yuan arrived at the All-Heavens List and shockingly saw that Yang Qing��s name was ranked first, and he could not help clicking his tongues in wonder.


    But very soon, Yang Qing could not laugh anymore.


    This was because he discovered that the people coming out of the passageway were seriously too many!


    Very soon, the platform became a little crowded.


    ��How many people �� did you freaking bring up?�� Yang Qing was speechless.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Roughly a million people.��


    Yang Qing drew a cold breath and said, ��A-A million?��


    Yang Qing was clear in his heart about Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s strength.


    This Vertical Heaven Stairs was absolutely not that easy to climb too.


    Otherwise, this would not be a selection of geniuses. It would be a sect assessment.


    According to Yang Qing��s estimation, it would already be very impressive if Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven could have 3000 people climb to the summit.


    After all, the quality of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s martial artists was placed there.


    Coupled with consecutive years of war and countless geniuses dying, 3000 people were already the limit.


    But Ye Yuan actually brought a million people up.


    What kind of concept was this?


    He forcibly expanded this limit by more than 300 times!


    Was this fellow still human?


    Dao could be understood but not expressed with words!


    Unable to explain clearly with words!


    Those able to explain Dao were all immensely formidable individuals!


    But Ye Yuan was just Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Those who came up together with him, there were even quite a few who were Emperor Sakra Heaven, and even origin realm powerhouses.


    Did �� this still make any sense?


    Originally, he was still patting himself on the back for getting first place.


    But now, he felt that it was lackluster.

 Chapter 3036 - Thousand Souls Hall!

    Rumble ��


    In all the heavens, the Vertical Heaven Stairs passageways were closed!


    After a year, the Vertical Heaven Stairs round was finally completely cleared.


    A distinction was also finally made among the geniuses from all heavens.


    The first place was shockingly Yang Qing.


    It was just that the current Yang Qing did not have any joyousness at all, looking at Ye Yuan somewhat resentfully.


    He had a feeling that if Ye Yuan cleared the stage properly, this first place would have nothing to do with him at all.


    In reality, Yang Qing understood that although he was in the first place, compared to the geniuses of other heavens, they were not much worse.


    The gaps between the top 30 could virtually be ignored!


    But once Ye Yuan challenged the round, he would have definitely shaken everyone off by a large margin.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    In Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, Feng Qingxuan��s brows furrowed slightly, and she said, ��Ye Yuan this guy actually didn��t even get on the list? This is impossible, right?��


    Long He said, ��This is illogical! No matter how weak he is, he wouldn��t fail to even get into the top 1000, right?��


    Feng Qingxuan said angrily, ��This boy really makes people worry!��


    Right then, Heavenless�� figure condensed and formed on the platform.


    ��The Vertical Heaven Stairs round has already ended! It��s just that the final result makes this ancestor a little disappointed! The number that passed this round is much fewer than this ancestor imagined! The results of you all passing the Vertical Heaven Stairs is also much worse compared to the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then! Looks like each generation is really worse than the previous one!�� Heavenless said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    The moment these words came out, the geniuses from all heavens were immediately unwilling to concede.


    Being looked down upon!


    ��Hur hur, how strong are your Labyrinth Divine Palace��s geniuses? Isn��t that based on your own words?��


    ��Ancestor Heavenless, we admit that you��re a peerless genius. But I, Kong Tan, absolutely won��t be worse than your Labyrinth Divine Palace��s geniuses!��


    ��If your Labyrinth Divine Palace��s geniuses were so strong, why did they get exterminated too? You��ve said it all!��


    �� ��


    How proud were the geniuses of the heavens?


    Even if they were being despised by the number one genius since time immemorial, that would not do either!


    How do you know that I can��t reach your height in the future?


    Before reaching the last step, these geniuses absolutely would not admit being worse than others.


    Heavenless was not angry either and said with a faint smile, ��Back then, when my Labyrinth Divine Palace opened up the Vertical Heaven Stairs, I only took in humans. In one world, there were 200 thousand people that could pass through. But now, there��s only at most 100 thousand people from a single world! Doesn��t this illustrate the problem? But, among you all, there are those who surprised this ancestor too. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually had 1.2 million people pass through the Vertical Heaven Stairs! This ancestor is somewhat looking forward to it!��


    The moment these words came out, the geniuses of all heavens exploded!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven again!


    ��What?! Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually had 1.2 million people pass through the Vertical Heaven Stairs?��


    ��How is this possible? Our Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven only had 90 thousand people pass!�� Wang Ningyang said in disbelief.


    ��Could it be that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually rose up in these few years? Not only that Yang Qing appear, but the number of their geniuses is also actually more than ten times than ours!��


    �� ��


    All the heavens were shocked!


    This number was seriously too frightening!


    A low-level plane, the number that passed the Vertical Heaven Stairs was actually more than ten times than theirs!


    If it were just numbers, they would not be so shocked either.


    After all, no matter how many they were, it did not mean anything either.


    Quality was the king��s way!


    Yet, a Yang Qing appeared!


    Now, regardless of whether in terms of quantity or quality, the geniuses of all heavens were being suppressed mercilessly.


    This was a little demoralizing.


    ��You all don��t need to be anxious. You guys will be able to witness my Labyrinth Divine Palace��s strength right away! The next round, Thousand Souls Hall! Inside it is the strongest 1000 people in my Labyrinth Divine Palace��s history! As long as you defeat ten of them, you��ll have the qualifications to enter the true Labyrinth Divine Palace!��


    Finished saying, Heavenless waved his sleeves. A stone bridge appeared on the platform.


    The stone bridge led to that illusory palace.


    But when Ye Yuan listened up to here, his heart stirred.


    This Thousand Souls Hall seemed to be somewhat similar to the training ground in the small Labyrinth Divine Palace that he experienced in the past.


    Except, he did not know if the powerhouses in this Thousand Souls Hall were the same as back then.


    Rather, when many people heard that they only needed to win ten people to enter the Labyrinth Divine Palace, they all revealed disdainful expressions.


    ��Hur hur, strongest thousand people in history? Really scares people to death!��


    ��Just ten people; if I can��t even defeat them, what the hell am I going to the Labyrinth Divine Palace for?��


    ��This Ancestor Heavenless is also looking down on us too much!��


    �� ��


    Many people who were confident in their strength had already stepped onto the stone bridge and entered the Thousand Souls Hall.


    Heavenless smiled and did not speak, his figure swaying, disappearing.


    When everyone arrived in the Thousand Souls Hall, there was a stone monument displayed in the great hall too.


    A thousand names were engraved on the stone monument.


    Ye Yuan swept a glance over and discovered that the names on this stone monument were already very different from what he saw in the small Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    There were still some familiar names on it, but the majority were already unfamiliar names.


    ��Looks like the competition in the Labyrinth Divine Palace is really fierce! It��s just that I don��t know how strong these people are!�� Ye Yuan became curious.


    He knew that after reaching Emperor Realm, it was totally different from Jade Sovereign Heaven.


    These Emperor Realm powerhouses were all Hegemon Realm reserves!


    Furthermore, those 1000 people in this Thousand Souls Hall were powerhouses that the Labyrinth Divine Palace had accumulated over many years.


    It was very likely that these thousand people were all Hegemon Realm powerhouses!


    Many people looked down on this round greatly.


    But he knew that this round was absolutely hell difficulty!


    ��Tch, Thousand Souls Hall, really scaring people to death! This emperor wants to see how strong these people are!�� Yang Qing had a disdainful look, directly picking the last name, and jumped into the battle formation.


    This battle formation clearly used a spatial divine ability.


    Yang Qing could have the movements of his hands and feet unfettered inside the battle formation, but he only occupied a small corner in the entire Thousand Souls Hall.


    Everyone could see the situation in the battle formation clearly.


    Many people were waiting to see it.


    1000th place, Ouyang Fangde!


    When Ouyang Fangde saw Yang Qing, his eyes could not help shrinking as he said, ��You��re very strong!��


    Yang Qing grinned and said, ��Doesn��t that go without saying? This emperor is the number one genius in the 33 Heavens! Even Ye Yuan that grandson is my vanquished foe!��


    Ouyang Fangde was taken aback. Who was Ye Yuan?


    However, he could feel Yang Qing��s strength and was waiting in full battle array too.


    The great battle was at an explosive point.


    The moment they exchanged blows, Yang Qing��s expression changed.


    He thought that dealing with the 1000th place, he could absolutely instantly kill his opponent with one move!


    But he clearly thought wrongly!


    The two people fell into a fierce battle very quickly!


    ��So strong! This guy is just 1000th place. He actually has such formidable strength? Furthermore, his cultivation realm is suppressed to the same as mine! This emperor has always jumped realms to battle!��


    Yang Qing was going crazy!


    Even the 1000th place was so strong, then what kind of terrifying existence was the first place?


    Inside the Thousand Souls Hall, Ye Yuan was shocked too!


    The strength of the 1000th place had greatly exceeded his imagination!


    Compared to this Thousand Souls Hall, that training ground was simply like child��s play!


    Boom!


    A hundred moves later, Yang Qing��s spear shot out and pierced through Ouyang Fangde��s chest.


    Yang Qing was victorious!

 Chapter 3037 - A Dead Person Swears at People Too!

    ��Ye Yuan, this guy is so strong! He��s just ranked 1000th. If so, then how strong is the first place?�� Yang Qing said with a solemn expression.


    Yang Qing was proud. Especially these few years, he practically soared to the skies.


    But today, he really met his match.


    The powerhouses in this Thousand Souls Hall were really the utmost strongest thousand people in the long river of time!


    ��Is he strong? I don��t think so,�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    Yang Qing rolled his eyes and said in depression, ��You tortoise grandson, I shouldn��t have talked to you!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You, this person, you need to grow while being knocked down! Comprehend it. You should have reaped a lot in the fight just now.��


    Yang Qing nodded and went to one side to comprehend.


    The Thousand Souls Hall��s opponents absolutely only occurred once in a lifetime to geniuses.


    Fighting with such opponents could improve oneself to the greatest extent.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    However, this did not hold much significance to Ye Yuan.


    He was indeed shocked by the strength of the powerhouses in the Thousand Souls Hall, but that was also just limited to shock.


    These people��s strengths were indeed not on the same level at all when compared to the small Labyrinth Divine Palace back then.


    But Ye Yuan��s improvement was greater!


    The most important thing was that Ye Yuan could utilize saint force!


    Forget about being the same rank as him; even if it was one or two minor realms higher than him, it was enough for Ye Yuan to sweep across too.


    Hence, that was why Yang Qing was depressed.


    Behind Ye Yuan, many people were itching to have a go.


    A handsome youth arrived in front of Ye Yuan, coming forward on his own accord as he said, ��Heavenly Saint Ye, I want to try!��


    Ye Yuan recognized him. He was called Hu Gaoshan.


    On the Vertical Heaven Stairs, Ye Yuan discovered some fine saplings. This Hu Gaoshan was one of them.


    Actually, in the sea of faces, there would also be some people who had overlooked talents because of various reasons.


    This kind of person, as long as you gave them a chance, they would turn into dragons the moment they encountered the winds of change!


    Before entering the Vertical Heaven Stairs, Hu Gaoshan was very ordinary.


    In fact, Ye Yuan did not see him at all in that initial group of people.


    But after going through the Vertical Heaven Stairs, he was already ranked at the forefront of this one million people.


    Understanding in Dao determined the height of the ceiling.


    Ye Yuan explaining Dao on the Vertical Heaven Stairs was equivalent to forcefully raising these people��s ceiling.


    However, Ye Yuan did not agree with Hu Gaoshan. He smiled and said, ��I��ll go first. You guys watch closely! However much you can comprehend will depend on yourselves! This round will probably eliminate more than half the people!��


    Everyone��s eyes lit up, was Heavenly Saint Ye going to demonstrate for everyone again?


    ��Many thanks, Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye gives assistance to all life. We��re grateful to the point of shedding tears!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye is really a sage of ancient times!��


    �� ��


    A dense crowd of people were extremely grateful to Ye Yuan.


    They all expressed that if it were not for Ye Yuan, they would not have made it through the Vertical Heaven Stairs at all.


    Ye Yuan reached the status of heavenly saint. However, he did not forget to benefit the world.


    This kind of person was truly rare in the 33 Heavens.


    They did not need to think and also knew how proud the geniuses of other planes were. Why would they be associated with ants like them?


    But Heavenly Saint Ye did not give them the cold shoulder. He helped them to improve instead.


    In fact, he gave up on the title of All-Heavens List��s first place for this!


    How could they not be moved?


    Everyone knew that if Ye Yuan really meant business, it would have nothing to do with Yang Qing anymore.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You all don��t have to be like this. These don��t have much meaning to me. Rather than competing for these pointless things, it��s better to let everyone��s strength become a little stronger. After all, this kind of opportunity doesn��t come by often. Alright, I��m going. All of you watch closely!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan leaped and entered the battle formation.


    When Ouyang Fangde saw Ye Yuan, his pupils could not help constricting.


    The pressure that Ye Yuan gave him was practically suffocating him!


    Compared to Ye Yuan, Yang Qing was nothing at all.


    Were the youngsters now all so impressive?


    Randomly encountering one and he was formidable until like this?


    Against Yang Qing, he felt that he still had the strength to fight.


    But, facing Ye Yuan, he actually felt powerless to resist.


    This kind of feeling was �� too exaggerated!


    I, Ouyang Fangde, am a top disciple of the 33 Heavens�� number one sect, the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    ��Make your move,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    Ouyang Fangde��s face fell. This guy was so arrogant!


    Only to see that there was suddenly an additional judge pen in his hand, directly pointing toward Ye Yuan, the speed inconceivably fast.


    Pointing All Life!


    Pen Expressing Dragons and Snakes!


    Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!


    �� ��


    Ouyang Fangde executed move after move, instantly clashing together with Ye Yuan.


    The two people were locked in a struggle.


    During the battle, Ouyang Fangde was somewhat dazed.


    Could it be that the feeling just now was wrong?


    This guy was actually not as strong as imagined at all?


    Exchanging more than a hundred moves in a blink of an eye, Ouyang Fangde discovered that although Ye Yuan��s strength was very strong, he was still much worse than Yang Qing.


    He could not help perspiring from embarrassment, wondering if he was overly sensitive?


    But he did not know that those Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses outside were already completely boiling over with excitement.


    ��Ahh! Turns out that this move can be broken like this!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye��s Sword Dao is so profound! However, I seem to have understood a little!��


    ��Ouyang Fangde��s Pointing All Life has already been used many times. I think that I��ve already found the way to resolve it.��


    �� ��


    After a thousand moves, Ouyang Fangde��s moves were basically squeezed dry by Ye Yuan.


    When a move became outdated, it naturally did not pose much threat anymore.


    Only then did Ouyang Fangde gradually discover that it did not seem to be the case at all.


    This guy was dismantling his moves?


    I �� F*ck me!


    ��A scholar prefers death to humiliation! How can you do this?�� Ouyang Fangde seemingly woke up from a dream and berated Ye Yuan angrily.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re merely a dead man condensed out of origin power. What individuality do you have? Using you to improve everyone��s strength a little is also considered a great service to mankind.��


    Ouyang Fangde said gloomily, ��Bullshit! This seat is the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s Hegemon Realm powerhouse, a paramount existence! You punk, you��re courting death here!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said coolly, ��Hegemon Realm expert can still be a dead person too. Could it be that you can still jump out of the grave to beat me?��


    Ouyang Fangde was speechless.


    Very sadly, he was just a tool.


    If Ye Yuan did not stop, he could only passively go along with Ye Yuan forever.


    All the way until Ye Yuan got bored of playing, and then he could kill him.


    By now, he already completely understood that the sensation earlier was completely right!


    This guy��s strength was too terrifying!


    It was him who was too weak. That was why he did not feel Ye Yuan��s power.


    Ye Yuan possessed the chaos divine essence. The power of every move and even his style were hair-raisingly strong.


    It was just that Ye Yuan suppressed his strength as much as possible in order to dismantle the moves and completely expose all of Ouyang Fangde��s flaws.


    The same rank Ouyang Fangde was far too behind Ye Yuan.


    Resulting in him not understanding Ye Yuan��s intention at all in the beginning.


    By the time he understood, his weaknesses were already completely exposed.


    ��Alright, it should be about enough,�� Ye Yuan said coolly, a streak of sword light flashing past.


    Ouyang Fangde was dead!


    Very soon, Ouyang Fangde��s body condensed once more, looking at Ye Yuan as he shouted angrily, ��I �� F*ck you!��


    This guy was bullying people too far!


    Ouyang Fangde seriously could not hold back and swore profanities.

 Chapter 3038 - Youre Cheating!

    ��All understood?�� Ye Yuan asked.


    The group of people in a file all nodded their heads like chicks pecking for rice.


    Clearly, there were quite a few people who really understood.


    Ye Yuan and Ouyang Fangde fought for a day and a night with no less than 3000 moves.


    Ouyang Fangde��s moves were virtually crushed by Ye Yuan.


    If they still did not understand, then Ye Yuan was really going to beat people up.


    Of course, it was not all of them either.


    Ouyang Fangde was not really some rookie.


    Among these over one million people, it was already very impressive that some of them could understand it.


    There was still a large portion who could not crack it even if they were taught.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    ��Understood!��


    ��Many thanks, Heavenly Saint Ye! Watch me pummel him!��


    ��I understand too! What strongest thousand people in history? It��s nothing more than this! Hahaha ����


    ��You didn��t see that Ouyang Fangde��s expression. It��s really hilarious!��


    ��No rush. I feel that his expression will be even more depressed after a period of time!��


    �� ��


    Very soon, Hu Gaoshan came forward on his own accord and was the first to enter the battle formation.


    Ouyang Fangde��s expression was very unfriendly.


    He already understood that he was played like a monkey for a day by Ye Yuan!


    Yet, he could not do anything about it.


    ��That scoundrelly punk was dismantling moves for you all, right? Very good, you can suffer my wrath then!�� Ouyang Fangde said in a cold voice.


    Hu Gaoshan laughed and said, ��Ouyang Fangde, you��re thinking too much! Next up, what you can do is to be trampled by us over and over again! Hahaha ����


    Ouyang Fangde sneered and said, ��Do you think that by dismantling the moves, you can resolve it? You��re too naive!��


    Hu Gaoshan did not back down in the least bit and said, ��Whether or not I��m being naive, you��ll know in a while!��


    ��Then let me see it! Pen Expressing Dragons and Snakes!��


    The judge pen danced like dragons and phoenixes, swift and fierce to the extreme.


    In a same rank battle, this move practically had no solutions!


    But Hu Gaoshan��s comprehension ability was high. He had long already seen through Ouyang Fangde��s weakness.


    Compared to when he just entered the Vertical Heaven Stairs, Hu Gaoshan could be considered to have been reborn anew.


    Although somewhat strained, he still barely managed to avoid Ouyang Fangde��s Pen Expressing Dragons and Snakes.


    Ouyang Fangde��s face became black as the bottom of a pot.


    Nearly succeeded!


    The strength of this guy opposite of him was really very weak!


    This kind of weakling was absolutely a target for being one-shotted!


    Top 1000 in history, this was really not randomly proclaimed.


    Yet, he could not do anything to Hu Gaoshan.


    His moves no longer had any secrets in front of Hu Gaoshan.


    Too much was exposed!


    In the beginning, Hu Gaoshan was still somewhat reserved.


    He knew that Ouyang Fangde was very strong. Ouyang Fangde and him were not on the same level at all.


    Fortunately, he knew his opponent��s weaknesses very clearly.


    Hence, he narrowly avoided his opponent��s attacks time and again.


    Until the back, Hu Gaosha gradually got used to his opponent��s tempo.


    Furthermore, he gradually improved in the midst of battle!


    Ye Yuan��s explanation on Dao previously, coupled with the dismantling of moves in this round, made him achieve mastery through a comprehensive study of the subject.


    Hence, Ouyang Fangde was in tragedy.


    Every move, every style, he fought until he was extremely aggrieved.


    He felt boundless strength from head to toe but could not unleash it at all.


    Boom!


    Finally, after several hundred moves, Hu Gaoshan saw an opening and took his life in one move!


    Hu Gaoshan was victorious!


    ��I �� I actually won! Hahaha �� I won!��


    In an instant, Hu Gaoshan fell into wild ecstasy.


    Although he knew that he could definitely win, but when it really arrived at this moment, he still had a feeling like he was dreaming.


    Not long ago, he was still an ant-like existence.


    But now, he clearly felt his power!


    Everything was bestowed by Heavenly Saint Ye!


    He only came to the Labyrinth Divine Palace to give it a try. He knew that he definitely could not even clear the Vertical Heaven Stairs.


    But now, he beat the powerful Ouyang Fangde!


    He came before Ye Yuan and bowed respectfully as he said, ��Many thanks for Heavenly Saint Ye��s grace of guidance. Hu Gaoshan will engrave it in my heart!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Go to the side to comprehend. You should have reaped considerable harvests in this battle!��


    Hu Gaoshan said respectfully, ��Yes!��


    Following that, Ouyang Fangde broke down.


    One after another entered the battle formation. Then, he was brutalized over and over again.


    He hated, hated why Ancestor had to replicate even his emotions so perfectly.


    Wasn��t I just a tool?


    Shouldn��t I not have feelings?


    Who am I?


    Where am I?


    What am I doing?


    Ouyang Fangde started to doubt life; even though his life had already ended long ago.


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re cheating! This is cheating! Ahh, ahhh, ahhh! Ancestor, take me in!�� In the battle formation, Ouyang Fangde completely broke down.


    But he was still a tool. He still needed to repeat the battles.


    Then he was wrecked over and over again.


    Half a month later, the battle ended. There were a total of more than 300 thousand people who passed the first round assessment.


    This was also to say that Ouyang Fangde was abused more than 300 thousand times!


    Those that remained were all those who could not understand. Ye Yuan did not let them participate.


    Of course, there were also those who were not afraid of death and insisted on taking part, then were immediately one-shotted by Ouyang Fangde.


    Later on, no one dared to do it anymore.


    Only then did they know that Ouyang Fangde was really very strong.


    If you did not understand the other party��s moves, then you should not join in the fun. You would die.


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan and rolled his eyes, and he said, ��You��re really a demon! You look at how you��ve tormented him and turned him into that state!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re actually showing sympathy for a tool? Him alone going through hardships to let everyone become strong, what��s bad about this?��


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said, ��I��m going!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Be careful!��


    Yang Qing nodded slightly, directly entering the battle formation.


    In this half a month, he had already cleared seven rounds. Now, he was going to challenge the eighth round.


    These seven rounds similarly had considerable harvests to Yang Qing.


    His strength improved significantly!


    However, Yang Qing��s path forward also became more and more difficult.


    After just five rounds, he discovered that his opponents got stronger and stronger!


    Originally, when he arrived at this round, he wanted to challenge these 1000 people with a spear.


    In the end, he discovered that this was virtually something impossible.


    Ye Yuan did not stay idle either. He started challenging the second round.


    Those 300 thousand people did not move their gazes, staring at Ye Yuan��s battle formation.


    A ravaging for several hundred thousand was about to start again very soon.


    Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven, Wang Ningyang cleared five rounds. Her expression was very ugly.


    A series of wails came from inside the battle formations.


    ��Why is this damn Ouyang Fangde so strong?��


    ��Making it through ten people, this is simply something impossible!��


    ��Freak! This Thousand Souls Hall is really too freakish! No wonder the Labyrinth Divine Palace virtually annihilated the 33 Heavens. The strengths of their disciples were really too strong!��


    �� ��


    Different from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this place had long already become a scene of wails.


    Many people were directly finished off by Ouyang Fangde in the first round and did not even have time to escape.


    Wang Ningyan looked at the Thousand Souls List in the great hall, her expression solemn as she said, ��Damn it, these guys are too strong! At this rate, we can��t catch up to Yang Qing at all! Just what kind of monster did Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven produce?��

 Chapter 3039 - Pursue!

    ��How many people from your Zuo Family made it through?�� Wang Ningyan asked.


    ��459 people!�� Smugness was written all over Zuo Qingyang��s face.


    ��Tch, showing off for? A total of 512 people from our Zhoutian Emperor Palace made it!�� Zhou Xianchen said disdainfully.


    ��Our Melody Nether Heavenly Sect also had 491 people that passed!�� Lu Haoran said.


    Wang Ningyan said, ��For our Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven, there are at least 3000 people who passed ten rounds! I don��t believe it. Those over one million people from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will probably all be eliminated in this round! It��s impossible for that kind of plane to pass these ten rounds!��


    Zhou Xianchen also said, ��They definitely gained an advantage by trickery in the Vertical Heaven Stairs! If those million over people all climbed the Vertical Heaven Stairs by relying on their strength, then Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would have long surmounted above all the heavens. What does it still have to do with us?��


    Zuo Qingyang nodded and said, ��The few of us definitely can��t lose to Yang Qing this time!��


    The few people all had solemn expressions, soaring with fighting intent.


    At present, on the Thousand Souls List, Yang Qing had made it through 38 rounds, leaving people far behind in the dust.


    Furthermore, his speed got faster and faster.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    Of course, the geniuses in all heavens did not relax their vigilance either, all following closely behind.


    But Yang Qing��s power was already exuded through the Thousand Souls List.


    The geniuses from all heavens felt tremendous pressure one after another.


    Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, Feng Qingxuan��s brows were tightly furrowed.


    She looked through the Thousand Souls List over and over again and still did not see Ye Yuan��s name.


    ��Could it be that this guy really didn��t come? Such an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime, it��s impossible, right? Rather, how can this Yang Qing be so strong?�� Feng Qingxuan said with a frown.


    She was currently ranked third, being suppressed firmly by Kong Tan.


    But what she hoped to see even more was Ye Yuan appearing on the Thousand Souls List.


    In the end, he still did not.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Yang Qing became more excited the more he fought.


    This Thousand Souls Hall was simply a treasure vault to him.


    After crossing 38 rounds, his improvement became faster and faster.


    One had to know that these 1000 people represented the pinnacle during that era.


    Fighting with such powerhouses really benefited a lot.


    Finally, Yang Qing, who was currently in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes one day, the aura on his body directly rising to the peak.


    At this moment, he appeared incredibly powerful.


    Yang Qing��s domineeringness immediately attracted a series of exclamations.


    ��Emperor Azuresky got stronger again!��


    ��This place is an insurmountable high wall to us, but to Emperor Azuresky, it��s simply like a fantasy paradise!��


    ��He has already cleared a hundred rounds and occupies the first place on the Thousand Souls List firmly, it really gains face for our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    ��Eh, he seems to be provoking Heavenly Saint Ye! Could it be ����


    �� ��


    Before his voice faded, Yang Qing pointed at Ye Yuan with his long spear and shouted, ��Ye Yuan, come and battle!��


    Ye Yuan was not surprised. Yang Qing��s strength had improved greatly. It would be weird if he did not find Ye Yuan.


    These few days, he watched Yang Qing grow stronger with his own eyes.


    The Thousand Souls Hall was the best piece of sharpening stone.


    Those geniuses could really be described with the following statement: improving at a tremendous pace here.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You��re confident!��


    Yang Qing grinned and said, ��That��s right, I��m confident! I feel that I can break that punch of yours!��


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Okay, bring it on!��


    Yang Qing put away the long spear, a destructive intent that dominated the world spread out immediately.


    Those who were weak in strength actually could not stand firm under Yang Qing��s imposing momentum.


    It was still the Myriad Dao Annihilation Spear!


    But the power of the current Myriad Dao Annihilation Spear was on a completely different level than when competing with Ye Yuan back then.


    Yang Qing had already tread out his own Dao!


    The so-called Myriad Dao Annihilation was shattering myriad Dao with Spear Dao!


    Compared to Ye Yuan��s divine sense turning into myriad and Hegemon Samsara��s experience of reincarnation, it all arrived at the same destination via different means!


    Clearing a hundred rounds consecutively, Yang Qing��s move became even more perfect and even stronger.


    Strong until it made people despair!


    Feeling this terrifying power, everyone��s faces changed one after another.


    ��So strong �� can Heavenly Saint Ye block this spear?��


    ��This isn��t fair! Yang Qing is only half a step away from grand completion Emperor Vast Heaven!��


    ��Yang Qing can probably contend with Emperor Sakra Heavens by relying on this move, right?��


    �� ��


    They could not help birthing a trace of doubt as to whether or not Ye Yuan could block this spear.


    Bang!


    Before his voice faded, Yang Qing flew out.


    His imposing momentum was broken by Ye Yuan with a punch.


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock.


    How could this be?


    Such a formidable spear actually could not even block a punch from Ye Yuan?


    ��Bah! You freak!�� Yang Qing gritted his teeth, picked up his spear, and directly entered the battle formation.


    Ye Yuan just smiled and did not say anything.


    Yang Qing was different from the others. He was very clear about what he was doing.


    If it were others, they would definitely yell at Ye Yuan, saying that he was not allowed to use saint force, and that it��s winning unscrupulously.


    But Yang Qing would not!


    He knew that to defeat Ye Yuan, he would have to defeat his saint force.


    A loss was a loss; he would never make excuses.


    To Yang Qing, defeating these people was not the goal.


    His final goal was to defeat Ye Yuan!


    If he could not win Ye Yuan, then even if he cleared a thousand rounds, it made no difference too.


    Time flew by rapidly. The geniuses from all heavens were still continuing to challenge the rounds.


    Of course, those who could continue to challenge them were all the top geniuses from all heavens.


    Yang Qing had already become everyone��s benchmark.


    The various races in all heavens, all of the geniuses were chasing after Yang Qing frenziedly.


    But the gap between them grew bigger and bigger.


    Yang Qing��s might virtually seeped out of the Thousand Souls List.


    Thousand Souls List, the higher up, the more powerful the opponent!


    Even Kong Tan, this kind of peerless genius, also gradually felt that his ability was somewhat falling short of his wishes.


    From the relentlessness at the beginning, to gradually falling behind by three rounds later on, then five rounds, then ten rounds.


    The gap between the first place and the second place grew bigger and bigger.


    Yang Qing was like a lone wolf that never knew fatigue, fighting frenziedly and advancing crazily.


    The scariest thing was that he could always defeat his opponent every time.


    ��Just what kind of medicine did Yang Qing this fellow eat? Could it be that this guy never gets tired?�� Kong Tan looked at the Thousand Souls List and could not resist cursing.


    ��Damn it! The gap is widening! Could it be that this Yang Qing is more powerful than Ye Yuan?�� Feng Qingxuan also said.


    Wang Ningyan had already given up on chasing. She was currently in tenth place and seriously could not move up anymore.


    The nine people in front were all like madmen.


    Originally, she felt that she was peerlessly elegant and talented, enough to suppress all geniuses.


    Even if she could not suppress them, she could also advance at an equal pace.


    But now, she knew that she was wrong!


    She was somewhat doubting her life.


    Except, these geniuses who were chasing after Yang Qing did not know that Yang Qing was being trampled by another person all along.


    Every hundred rounds that he cleared, Yang Qing would take the initiative to challenge Ye Yuan.


    But unfortunately, Ye Yuan only had one move!


    No matter how strong he was, he was unable to surpass Ye Yuan��s punch!


    With Ye Yuan, this insurmountable high wall around, Yang Qing was full of vigor.


    Hence, he became even crazier.


    He placed all of his combat strength on the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s 1000 geniuses.

 Chapter 3040 - : True Labyrinth Divine Palace!

    ��C-Cleared the stage?�� Wang Ningyan looked at the Thousand Souls List and felt blown away.


    Yang Qing defeated the Thousand Souls Hall��s 1000 people and cleared the stage!


    This battle result seriously made people too proud.


    The second place Kong Tan fell in the 934th round.


    The third place Feng Qingxuan fell in the 933rd round.


    The fourth place Qin Baichuan fell in the 930th round.


    The battle results at the back were all very close.


    Only Yang Qing��s battle results swept everyone away.


    If one still could not tell the difference at the Vertical Heaven Stairs, then in this stage, the gap had already been widened!


    ��After 900 rounds, those people were all powerful to the extreme. Each round was deadly! How can this guy possibly make it through a thousand rounds?�� Zuo Qingyang��s face was full of disbelief.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    He also made it to the 913th round, ranking at the 12th place.


    But he felt that clearing the stage was an impossible mission.


    However, Yang Qing completed it.


    Only at this point did these geniuses experience the might of the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Those who entered the Thousand Souls Hall were all the top geniuses of all the heavens. Each one was an exceptional powerhouse.


    But none of them could make it to the top 60 of the Thousand Souls Hall!


    This was also to say that even if they were in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, they did not count as top-notch too!


    The combat power list accumulated over the years was indeed not for show.


    But there was one exception.


    Yang Qing!


    This guy actually defeated everyone and left people far behind in the dust!


    This result made everyone feel awful to the extreme.


    ��On what basis? Based on what that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this kind of trashy plane, can clear the stage?�� Even if it was Qin Baichuan, he was also full of unwillingness to submit at this time.


    At this time, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Thousand Souls Hall.


    Yang Qing, who had already been viewed as the chosen rival of the geniuses in all heavens, was currently fired up with boundless enthusiasm.


    He used his spear to point at Ye Yuan from afar and said with a loud laugh, ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, Emperor Azuresky, I, have finally cleared the stage! Come, fight with me!��


    Bang!


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, taking several steps back in the row.


    Yang Qing��s spear light was directly shattered, being sent flying out,


    Yang Qing was defeated!


    Ye Yuan said with a sigh of admiration, ��You��re really amazing! Right now, if the geniuses of all the heavens meet you in the same rank, they will probably be directly one-shotted by you.��


    Yang Qing jumped up and said with a black face, ��You��re really despicable! You want to say that you��re more formidable than the other geniuses, is that it?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Yeah! Who asked me to grasp saint force in Emperor Vast Heaven? Uh, this thing is really useful.��


    Yang Qing was speechless.


    At this time, Yang Qing��s Myriad Dao Annihilation Spear was more than ten times stronger than before!


    Even if Ye Yuan used saint force, it was not as effortless as before anymore too.


    But Yang Qing was still not a match.


    The methods of Great Beyond powerhouses were really too strong.


    If the geniuses from all the heavens were here, their jaws would definitely hit the ground from shock.


    This Yang Qing who swept them away was actually being crushed underfoot by another guy!


    A figure condensed in the Thousand Souls Hall.


    Heavenless appeared again!


    He looked at everyone and said with a smile, ��Looks like you guys have a clear understanding of my Labyrinth Divine Palace��s might! Of course, you all don��t need to belittle your own capabilities either. Your talents are indeed pretty good. It��s just a shame that you weren��t born in my Labyrinth Divine Palace! The Thousand Souls Hall stage. It��s still Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven that won the top spot! They have a total of 55,621 people that passed the Thousand Souls Hall��s assessment!��


    ��What?! T-This is impossible!�� Wang Ningyan cried out in surprise.


    ��This is impossible! How can Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven possibly be more than ten times of us!�� Kong Tan did not believe it either.


    Someone said, ��Ancestor Heavenless, did you make a mistake? Or maybe Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven cheated!��


    Thousand Souls Hall this stage was much harder than the Vertical Heaven Stairs.


    Even if it was just defeating ten people, it was also not what the average genius could accomplish.


    Each round guardian of the Thousand Souls Hall, even if it was Ouyang Fangde, their strength was powerful to the extreme too.


    Wanting to win them was easier said than done.


    But, a puny little Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, the number that passed was actually more than ten times than theirs!


    This number was too scary!


    Heavenless said coolly, ��This ancestor doesn��t look at the process. I only look at the results! If you guys aren��t convinced, you��ll naturally have a chance to meet them after entering the true Labyrinth Divine Palace! At that time, you all can even have a showdown!��


    But Feng Qingxuan��s gaze gradually became bright.


    ��It must be that guy! Apart from Ye Yuan, nobody can accomplish this! This guy is always able to create miracles.��


    By the side, Long He deeply felt that way too and said with a nod, ��Apart from him, there should be no one else. He��s probably unranked on the lists in order to bring these people into the Labyrinth Divine Palace.��


    ��All right. You all don��t need to guess. You��ll be able to meet after entering the passageway at the end of the Thousand Souls Hall!�� Heavenless said coolly.


    At this time, there was already an additional transmission door since god knows when in the corner of the Thousand Souls Hall.


    This transmission door was naturally the passageway to enter the true Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Everyone��s breathing became ragged.


    The true treasure was still in the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    So what if they fell behind a little in the Thousand Souls Hall?


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One figure after another moved. They were too impatient to wait, entering the passageway.


    �� ��


    ��That��s �� Divine Citron Fruit! Swallowing one is equal to 3000 years of bitter cultivation!��


    ��That��s Mystic Sand Nine Sun Weed, the core ingredient for the Great Trichiliocosm Heavenly Fate Pill! It already can��t be found at all in the outside world!��


    ��That is ����


    A series of exclamations came from the crowd.


    It was simply a land of treasures under this sky.


    Many heavenly medicines and precious treasures that could not be seen in the outside world could be seen everywhere here!


    When the geniuses from all the heavens saw these, each and every one of their eyes turned red.


    ��Hahaha �� The Labyrinth Divine Palace is indeed well-deserving of being the number one sect! This place is simply paradise!��


    ��Cultivating here, why worry about not being able to reach Hegemon Realm?��


    ��This trip indeed wasn��t in vain! Rich! Rich!��


    �� ��


    Everyone seemed to have gone crazy. Many people directly rushed towards those treasures.


    Boom!


    Those who charged right at the front were directly killed.


    Kong Tan��s gaze swept across everyone��s faces, and he said coldly, ��This fiend hasn��t even opened my mouth. When is it your turn?��


    Kong Tan naturally did not come alone. The fiend race powerhouses behind him reached as many as a thousand people.


    When the others saw the situation, they immediately withered up.


    Kong Tan laughed coldly and said, ��Go. Collect all the heavenly medicines in this area!��


    ��Hur hur, with so many heavenly medicines, it��s enough to even cultivate to Supreme Hegemon! Kong Tan, aren��t you too greedy?��


    A peerlessly beautiful figure appeared. Who could it be if not Feng Qingxuan?


    There were similarly one to two thousand true spirits following behind her.


    Long He and the rest were shockingly in the ranks.


    Kong Tan said coolly, ��Feng Qingxuan, my fiend race has always been overbearing! We��ll be taking these heavenly medicines! If you��re not convinced, talk again after fighting.��


    Feng Qingxuan sneered and said, ��Kong Tan, do you think that you��re invincible because you��re second on the Thousand Souls List?��


    Kong Tan smiled and said, ��At least I��m a little stronger than you, this number three!��


    Feng Qingxuan smiled and said, ��We��re about on par. But you probably don��t know that my relationship with Yang Qing isn��t ordinary!��


    Kong Tan��s pupils constricted, revealing a look of vigilance.

 Chapter 3041 - Yang Qings Highlight Moment!

    Kong Tan��s gaze turned cold. He said, ��Do you think that this fiend would be scared of a human?��


    It was only to see fiendish qi surging on his body, already assuming a posture like he was going to start a killing spree.


    Feng Qingxuan��s expression turned dark, and she said, ��Kong Tan, don��t you be arrogant! When my man arrives, you��ll suffer!��


    Kong Tan��s eyes shrunk once again, and he said, ��You��re saying that Yang Qing is your man? Hur hur, Feng Qingxuan, do you take this fiend to be a fool?��


    Feng Qingxuan smiled and said, ��You can try starting a fight!��


    Kong Tan said disdainfully, ��No matter how formidable Yang Qing is, he��s also just one person! Feng Qingxuan, it looks like you��re refusing face when it��s given! Kill for me!��


    In the end, Feng Qingxuan still failed to intimidate Kong Tan.


    The fiend race was bloodthirsty by nature and would not reason things out at all.


    If you were stronger than them, only then could you intimidate them.


    Boom!


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    In a blink, the two races clashed.


    Kong Tan��s true fiend dharma body was impervious to swords and spears, and invulnerable to water and fire.


    Feng Qingxuan��s strength was not weak either, but it was still not enough to suppress Kong Tan.


    Moreover, the fiend race had many experts. Kong Tan brought quite a few powerhouses this time.


    The true spirit race fell into a disadvantageous situation very soon.


    ��Yo, how lively! So many natural treasures, why isn��t there a share for my human race?�� Zuo Qingyang said with a light laugh.


    ��Brother Kong Tan, we��ll lend you guys a helping hand. Give us a share of these natural treasures, alright?�� Wang Ningyan said.


    Kong Tan laughed loudly and said, ��That��s good! I��ll have to trouble Fairy Ningyan!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s face turned black, and she gritted her teeth and said, ��Wang Ningyan, you dare!��


    Wang Ningyan smiled and said, ��Why wouldn��t I not dare? Haven��t your true spirit clan always looked down on the human race? We have no need to help you all deal with Brother Kong Tan, right?��


    Actually, in the 33 Heavens, all the races had enmity toward the true spirit race.


    No reason other than they were too strong!


    Back then, the true spirit race was like the noonday sun. One Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven had five mighty Great Beyond powerhouses!


    If all the races did not join hands, they would not be the true spirit race��s match at all.


    Meanwhile, the human race sought survival between the crevices.


    Later, the Labyrinth Divine Palace rose up. Humanity attained unprecedented glory. Only then were they on par with all the races.


    How clever was Wang Ningyan? She determined the situation on the field in an instant and decided to join Kong Tan��s side.


    The moment Wang Ningyan and the rest made a move, it instantly formed a crushing advantage.


    Feng Qingxuan was teetering on her feet under the pincer attacks of several great experts. Very soon, she could not quite hold out anymore.


    Right then, another group of people came over. But it was the feather race that arrived.


    Yu Ran smiled and said, ��Big Brother Kong Tan, do you need Yu Ran��s assistance?��


    Kong Tan smiled and said, ��It��s naturally for the best if Younger Sister Yu Ran takes action!��


    Yu Ran nodded and said, ��Alright, the dragon race this bunch of people, leave them to me!��


    Finished saying, Yu Ran brought the feather race and joined the battle too.


    All at once, the true spirit race was attacked in front and from the rear, suffering a heavy blow.


    Many true spirits died under the powerful attacks of the few races.


    Feng Qingxuan was going crazy. She did not expect that such a situation would actually occur.


    ��Why isn��t that damn fellow here yet?�� Feng Qingxuan gnashed her teeth in hatred as she said.


    She knew that the only one who could save her now was only Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, these elites from the true spirit race would all have to die here.


    As if hearing her summoning, a large group of people came from the distance in a dense crowd, immediately applying tremendous pressure on all the races.


    At times, numbers could crush everything.


    ��Finally see people! Heh heh, these people will all have to submit under the foot of me, Emperor Azuresky!�� Yang Qing immediately became excited.


    The destination that this group of people was transported to was a little off. Hence, they came late.


    Yang Qing took first place. With his temperament, he naturally could not refrain from posturing.


    Ye Yuan had sharp eyes. He saw several races besieging the true spirit race with one glance, and his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    However, Yang Qing already rushed out without waiting for him to speak.


    ��Hoy! All-Heavens List, Thousand Souls List, dual lists�� number one, Exalt Azuresky is here! You trash actually dare to bully my, Yang Qing��s, friends! Why haven��t you quickly stopped?!�� Yang Qing pointed with his long spear and shouted angrily.


    Ye Yuan covered his face with his hand and seriously could not quite continue watching anymore.


    This guy liked to show off too much!


    Of course, although flamboyant, Yang Qing could still gauge things clearly.


    Back then, the true spirit race was the main force that saved the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Feng Qingxuan was also present back then.


    Yang Qing recognized Feng Qingxuan at a glance and naturally knew who he should help.


    Moreover, he also knew that Ye Yuan belonged to half a true spirit.


    This sentence from him immediately attracted everyone��s attention.


    In reality, all of the geniuses right now were full of curiosity toward Yang Qing.


    Everyone wanted to know just what this genius who suppressed all the heavens looked like.


    But, with one look, they were quite disappointed.


    This guy really did not have the air of an expert at all!


    Shouldn��t the genius who swept across all the heavens be low-profile and humble and unparalleledly domineering?


    This fellow looked like a living treasure no matter how one looked at him!


    However, Yang Qing was the peerless genius who cleared the Thousand Souls Hall stage in the end. His face still had to be given.


    Wang Ningyan was the first to stop, shouting, ��Okay, I��ll give Brother Yang face! Our Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion will stop!��


    Finished saying, the people that she brought all stopped.


    Yu Ran also smiled, jumping out of the battlefield as she said, ��Brother Yang��s face has to be given. My feather race withdraws!��


    The feather race powerhouses stopped respectively too.


    When Kong Tan saw the situation, he knew that this fight could not carry on. Snorting coldly, he ceased fighting too.


    Only then did the true spirit race powerhouses feel akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    However, each of them currently had wounds on their bodies. They also lost quite a number of elites that they brought.


    Wang Ningyan arrived in front of Yang Qing and greeted with folded hands on the lower right side of her body as she said smilingly, ��With the Labyrinth Divine Palace opening this time, Brother Yang��s prestige has awed all the heavens! Since Brother Yang is a human, why not join my Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion? Our Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion will definitely do our utmost to help Brother Yang step into the Great Beyond Realm!��


    Wang Ningyan had always been proud and cold. Even when facing Zuo Qingyang the few of them, she spoke bluntly too.


    But today, she smiled at Yang Qing!


    This smile was akin to spring wind blowing for ten miles, intoxicating people.


    Even a boor like Kong Tan was also besotted from looking.


    In an instant, the air teemed with a strong smell of vinegar.


    But, right at this time, Yu Ran smiled sweetly and directly grabbed Yang Qing��s hand, saying coquettishly, ��Big Brother Yang Qing, Yu Ran idolizes geniuses the most! Why not Yu Ran become your Dao companions? Yu Ran is the holy daughter of the feather race. As long as Big Brother Yang Qing becomes my Dao companion, there will be countless resources! Also, my ancestor is a Great Beyond powerhouse. If you become my Dao companion, Ancestor will definitely give you guidance!��


    Yang Qing instantly became full of himself.


    The jealousy grew stronger!


    At this time, there were three peerless beauties on the open field.


    Wang Ningyan, Yu Ran, and Feng Qingxuan!


    These three people had unparalleled beauty and aptitude!


    Right now, two out of the three were actually casting an olive branch to Yang Qing.


    Also, Feng Qingxuan, Yang Qing personally admitted that he was friends with her!


    This kind of treatment really envied bystanders to the max!


    Kong Tan looked toward Feng Qingxuan and ridiculed her. He said, ��Feng Qingxuan, your man came. Why don��t you have him take revenge for you?��


    He had long seen through. Yang Qing did not have that kind of feelings for Feng Qingxuan at all.

 Chapter 3042 - The Blind Ones Are You All!

    ��Goodness me! Two great beauties inviting, it really puts this Yang in a dilemma!�� Yang Qing said with a smug look.


    Yu Ran directly cuddled against his body and said with a smile, ��What dilemma is there? It��s merely one sect behind this woman. But, behind Yu Ran, it��s the power of a race! One will also know who to choose without needing to think, right?��


    Wang Ningyan said coldly, ��Shameless!��


    Yu Ran smiled and said, ��Younger Sister Ningyan, you want to rope Big Brother Yang Qing in, and you still want to put on airs? What kind of heaven��s chosen is Big Brother Yang Qing? Could it be that he can��t match up to you?��


    Wang Ningyan��s brows furrowed slightly, but she felt that Yu Ran��s words made sense.


    Across the heavens and myriad worlds, it could be said that there was no man that could enter her eyes!


    Even Kong Tan was not enough to make her view him in a different light too.


    But Yang Qing was an exception!


    After experiencing the Thousand Souls Hall, they were all too clear how strong those thousand people were!


    Especially the top 100, they were really strong to the extreme.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    To be able to clear the Thousand Souls Hall stage, these geniuses all knew what that meant.


    Yang Qing��s potential was immeasurable!


    Otherwise, why would someone as cold and proud as Wang Ningyan welcome warmly with a smiling face?


    However, compared to Yu Ran, Wang Ningyan had indeed fallen to a disadvantage again.


    If one were to consider who in this world could match up to her, Wang Ningyan, it was only Yang Qing!


    Seeing how Yang Qing looked, Kong Tan was even more certain that he and Feng Qingxuan were just ordinary friends.


    ��Hur hur, your man seems to have already forgotten your existence! Feng Qingxuan, you have peerless looks too. Why are you so shameless? Randomly grabbing a guy and saying that he��s your man?�� Kong Tan snickered.


    Feng Qingxuan looked at him and said with a cold smile, ��Who told you that my man is Yang Qing?��


    Kong Tan could not help laughing and said, ��Isn��t that what you said?��


    Feng Qingxuan��s figure moved, arriving next to Ye Yuan. Grabbing Ye Yuan��s arm, she said, ��Look closely, this is my man!��


    Ye Yuan was stupefied.


    When did I �� freaking become your man?


    Feng Qingxuan��s action made everyone��s jaws hit the ground in shock.


    ��This �� is Fairy Feng abandoning herself to despair?��


    ��Who is this kid? He didn��t even get on the All-Heavens List and Thousand Souls List, right? Fairy Feng is actually throwing herself at him?��


    ��Fairy Feng must be blind! Yang Qing is a peerless heaven��s chosen. She didn��t take a fancy on him and actually took a fancy on an unknown trash?��


    �� ��


    Compared to the current Yang Qing, Ye Yuan was indeed trash.


    Yang Qing was too dazzling!


    In the 33 Heavens, the heavens�� chosen were plentiful like oxen fur.


    But he suppressed everybody!


    It was impossible to not be dazzling even if he did not want to.


    Being grabbed by Feng Qingxuan, Ye Yuan was a little embarrassed.


    But, in front of the geniuses from all the heavens, he really could not brush her face aside.


    Upon denying it, Feng Qingxuan probably could not even lift her head in the future.


    After all, he owed Feng Qingxuan a debt of gratitude.


    Ye Yuan heard Long Jian say before that when he went to the Vermilion Bird Clan back then, Luan Qinghe actually had some qualms against him.


    It was Feng Qingxuan who advocated strongly until Luan Qinghe agreed to take action.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan did not deny it, Feng Qingxuan also let out a long sigh of relief.


    She naturally knew that Ye Yuan was not interested in her.


    But, no idea since when, she was already unable to extricate herself.


    ��Ye Yuan, help me take revenge!�� Feng Qingxuan said.


    Ye Yuan did not hesitate and nodded his head and said, ��Okay!��


    ��Hehehe �� Feng Qingxuan, are you blind? You��re not chasing the All-Heavens List and Thousand Souls List, dual lists�� number one genius, and actually went to pursue a good-for-nothing?�� Yu Yan said with a charming laugh.


    Not far away, Wang Ningyan also had a mocking look.


    Clearly, she was very disdainful with Feng Qingxuan��s way of doing things.


    The moment Kong Tan heard, he laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� boy, have you gotten bewitched by Feng Qingxuan and don��t know who you are anymore? You said that you��re going to take revenge for her?��


    A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Yuan��s eyes, and he said, ��That��s right! You killed many true spirits. You have to pay the price!��


    Kong Tan laughed loudly and said, ��Then, this fiend wants to see how you, a puny little lower Emperor Vast Heaven, take revenge! This fiend is waiting for you right here!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��You, kowtow to the true spirit race and apologize! Otherwise, these fiends that you brought, none of them will be spared!��


    Kong Tan laughed.


    Yu Ran also laughed.


    A brat actually boasted so shamelessly.


    Yu Ran laughed herself into fits and said, ��Feng Qingxuan, what kind of hothead did you find? He really dares to say anything! Hehehe ����


    Kong Tan laughed and said, ��There��s no word called ��sorry�� in this fiend��s dictionary! Come, let me take a look at how you��ll spare none of us!��


    Bang!


    Right at this time, Yang Qing pushed Yu Ran away.


    The latter had a blank look, not knowing what had happened.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had many people. They all knew about this.


    But regardless of whether it was Kong Tan, Yu Ran, or Wang Ningyan, or the rest, they all did not think that these people would listen to a lower Emperor Vast Heaven��s orders.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was at the bottom of the barrel among this group of people.


    How could they, these people, be convinced by Ye Yuan?


    ��Big Brother Yang Qing, you��ve hurt me! How can you do this to a girl?�� Yu Ran said in a spoiled manner.


    At this time, Yang Qing already put away his flippant expression and said with a cold smile, ��Scram to one side! How can I, Emperor Azuresky, be someone that you can match up to? Also, the blind ones are you guys! Fairy Feng is the only one who can see what others cannot! Tsk tsk, Fairy Feng, you really have foresight! Ye Yuan this punk is just a little bit worse than me, Emperor Azuresky!��


    As he said, Yang Qing gave Feng Qingxuan a thumbs up.


    The latter also had a proud look.


    Meanwhile, Ye Yuan felt a headache come on.


    Yang Qing��s words made everyone dumbfounded.


    What was this guy talking about?


    ��Yang Qing said that Wang Ningyan and Yu Ran are blind. Isn��t that scolding himself? Uh, this guy is really a living treasure!��


    ��However, what background does that boy have? To actually only be a little bit worse than Yang Qing?��


    ��Got to be kidding! All-Heavens List and Thousand Souls List, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven only has Yang Qing alone. This boy is simply a nobody!��


    ��Ah! I understand. This boy is definitely some human major power��s descendant!��


    ��Mn, you make a lot of sense!��


    �� ��


    Everyone was at a loss. Yang Qing actually even scolded himself in order to prop Ye Yuan up.


    Just what was this Ye Yuan��s identity?


    Hence, people started speculating about Ye Yuan��s identity.


    Yang Qing scolded himself but was completely oblivious to it. Looking at Kong Tan, he sneered and said, ��You��re the second place, Kong Tan, right? I advise that you��d better kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, you all will really be wiped out! Ye Yuan never bluffs people when talking! You��ll really die!��


    Yang Qing said it solemnly. Kong Tan��s heart became somewhat uncertain.


    But he could not discern, no matter what, what Ye Yuan had to back him up!


    ��Yang Qing, who the hell do you think you are, to also dare talk nonsense to this fiend? This fiend is genuinely enraged this time! Don��t need you all to make a move. This fiend will kill you all first! Everyone, kill for me!�� Kong Tan shouted angrily.


    ��Moron!�� Yang Qing��s mouth curled as he scolded.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��The fiend race members, leave none behind!��

 Chapter 3043 - Its a Waste Even if Its Placed With You

    ��Hur hur, who does he think he is? These 50 thousand over people will all listen to him?��


    ��This boy is clearly a fool! I know about Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. That place is simply a masterless land, with sects standing in great numbers, neither convinced by the others!��


    ��With a beauty accompanying, he probably doesn��t know his surname anymore, right?��


    �� ��


    The moment Ye Yuan opened his mouth, mocking voices immediately came from all around.


    Forget about Ye Yuan; even Kong Tan, Yu Ran, these people, it was impossible to make 50 thousand geniuses of a race listen to one person too.


    However, before his voice faded, the 50 thousand people behind Ye Yuan attacked simultaneously.


    Kong Tan��s eyeballs popped out!


    In terms of strength, the fiend race was definitely stronger than Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    But with more than 50 thousand people versus 2000 people, this was complete devastation!


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    No matter how strong you were, it was useless too!


    Let alone that ever since entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace, these people��s strength had already made great progress.


    Kong Tan finally understood what Yang Qing��s words meant.


    These 2000 fiends were instantly drowned by the sea of people!


    In an instant, a large group of fiends died.


    ��Enough! I apologize! I apologize!�� Kong Tan shouted.


    The corners of Ye Yuan��s mouth curled slightly and he said, ��Stop!��


    The 50 thousand people executed the order without fail; they immediately stopped and returned.


    This scene made everyone draw a breath of cold air.


    They could not help becoming curious about Ye Yuan��s identity. Who could make 50 thousand people be so obedient?


    In one exchange, the fiend race had several hundred people dead.


    Kong Tan had a black face as he came before Ye Yuan and said, ��I can apologize, but kneeling is absolutely impossible!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Sure!��


    Kong Tan gave a bow to Feng Qingxuan and said, ��Fairy Feng, Kong Tan was wrong. I apologize to you!��


    Feng Qingxuan gave a cold snort and said, ��I warned you before! My man isn��t to be trifled with!��


    Ye Yuan had black lines on his head.


    Kong Tan had black lines on his head too.


    But at this time, everyone��s focus shifted to Ye Yuan all at once.


    Just where did this enigmatic young man pop out from?


    All of them thought that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s leader was Yang Qing.


    But looking at it now, it was not!


    Yang Qing said unhappily, ��Why didn��t you wipe them you? This isn��t your style!��


    He knew that Ye Yuan was decisive in going for the kill.


    With Kong Tan��s words and actions earlier, exterminating the fiend race was also not impossible.


    Ye Yuan said meaningfully, ��A rabbit will bite if cornered. Now isn��t the time to show your cards. This place has the rules here. Once we cross it, the consequences will be very severe.��


    Yang Qing felt at a loss, uncertain what it meant.


    Although he did not kill Kong Tan, suppressing the fiend race��s young patriarch to lower his head to admit his fault, this was already shocking enough.


    One had to know that Kong Tan was not only the fiend race��s young patriarch. He was even number two in the ranking here after Yang Qing!


    If not for Yang Qing this freak, he would have been number one.


    How proud was such a genius?


    Ye Yuan looked toward Yu Ran, Wang Ningyan, and the rest. He then said coolly, ��Also, you all!��


    Yu Ran��s expression changed, and she said, ��Goodness, this big brother is so fierce! I��m a weak girl. How can you be like this?��


    Wang Ningyan��s pupils constricted, and she said coldly, ��You��re a human. You should know humanity��s three supreme heavens! My Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion isn��t what you can afford to provoke!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��In that case, you want me to make a move?��


    Wang Ningyan��s expression turned dark. This guy really did not know how to cherish beauties!


    She gritted her teeth and also apologized to Feng Qingxuan.


    Although Yu Ran was reluctant, she also knew that circumstances were stronger than people.


    They all, these people added up, were not a match for Ye Yuan��s army too.


    Yang Qing��s mouth curled, and he said unhappily, ��This tortoise grandson stole this emperor��s limelight again!��


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, ��Do you still want to break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven or not?��


    Yang Qing immediately switched expressions and said fawningly, ��I want, I want! Hur hur, Heavenly Saint Ye is the best!��


    When everyone saw this scene, they were even more shocked.


    Even Yang Qing was actually so obsequious in front of Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan ignored everyone��s shock and said coolly, ��These natural treasures, I��m taking half. You all don��t have objections, right?��


    We do!


    But was there a use?


    Clearly, Ye Yuan did not have the intention of letting them answer either, rushing straight into this large-scale medicine garden.


    Actually, reaching Emperor Vast Heaven, Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm, it was already very difficult to find some heavenly medicines.


    Sometimes, one could run across more than half of the 33 Heavens in order to refine a grade eight heavenly pill or a grade nine heavenly pill.


    But there was everything here!


    Some of the precious heavenly medicines in the Hundred Herbs Illustrated Handbook could all be found here!


    To heavenly alchemists, this place was simply paradise.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace was well-deserving of being the number one great sect of all the heavens. They had practically collected the most precious heavenly medicines in all heavens.


    And these heavenly medicines were seemingly free, scattered in the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s outer-periphery medicine garden.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not be courteous. He took all of the heavenly medicines that he needed away.


    When the others saw this scene, their hearts dripped blood!


    At this time, the people around the medicine garden became more and more.


    The geniuses from all heavens had all gathered here.


    The medicine garden��s heavenly medicines got lesser and lesser. Very soon, Ye Yuan had collected half.


    When Ye Yuan went out of the medicine garden, he immediately had his path blocked by several figures.


    He raised his brows and said, ��Why? Does everyone want to rob me?��


    Zhou Xianchen had a haughty look as he said with a cold smile, ��Kid, you seized so many heavenly medicines, but you can��t refine high quality heavenly pills. Isn��t it a wanton waste of God��s good gifts?��


    Ye Yuan was greatly interested and said with a smile, ��Oh? You mean that you can refine it?��


    Zhou Xianchen said proudly, ��Of course! 33 Heavens, the peak of Alchemy Dao is in humanity��s three supreme heavens! And Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven��s strongest is our Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s Progenitor Endless!��


    Another person said, ��Vast Court Firmament Limit Heaven, our Lin Yuan Pavilion is the outstanding one!��


    The third person said, ��Han Chong Miao Cheng Heaven, our Emperor One Sect is the well-deserved number one!��


    These two people, one was the Lin Yuan Pavilion��s number one genius, Chu Fang, and the other was the Emperor One Sect��s Dizi Jinnan.


    Seeing Ye Yuan hoard so many heavenly medicines, the three of them naturally had ideas.


    Zhou Xianchen said, ��If I didn��t remember wrongly, in your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, the strongest in Alchemy Dao is Cloudmount, right? Back then, he even came to my Zhoutian Emperor Palace to ask Ancestor Endless for guidance! When he sees Ancestor Endless again, he��ll have to carry out the etiquette of a disciple too!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��So, what��s the meaning of you guys stopping me?��


    Zhou Xianchen said, ��Very simple. These precious heavenly medicines are a waste to be placed with you too. Whatever heavenly pills you need, we can help you refine! But, as compensation, you need to share some heavenly medicines with us!��


    The moment Ye Yuan heard, he laughed.


    It had really been very long since anyone dared to posture in front of him with Alchemy Dao.


    Even if it was Cloudmount, he did not dare to casually posture in front of him too.


    One had to know, when Ye Yuan had not entered profound grade back then, Cloudmount was already beyond shocked.


    In terms of strength, he was inferior to Cloudmount. But, in terms of talent, he shook Cloudmount off by too much.


    ��Hur hur, I appreciate your good intentions. But �� even if I waste these heavenly medicines, I won��t do it through others too,�� Ye Yuan said with a chuckle.

 Chapter 3044 - Grand Display of Skill!

    How aggravating!


    This was like, I have good stuff to eat, but if I can��t finish eating, I rather throw it away than let you eat.


    The three geniuses were furious.


    Zhou Xianchen��s face fell, but he turned to Yang Qing and said, ��Yang Qing, you have to know, if the quality of the heavenly pill is a fraction better, your hope of breaking through to Emperor Sakra Heaven will be a fraction higher! Are you sure that you want this guy to refine pills for you��


    Right now, they had basically already confirmed that Ye Yuan��s identity was a heavenly alchemist!


    Only like this could he have such great rallying power.


    Except, what did heavenly alchemists count for in front of them?


    Zhou Xianchen thought that Yang Qing knew how serious this was.


    Their three great factions represented the pinnacle of the 33 Heavens�� Alchemy Dao!


    Who would have thought that Yang Qing said without even thinking, ��Yeah, of course I want Ye Yuan to help me refine pills. What kind of good heavenly pills can trash like you guys refine?��


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    ��Puchi!��


    The moment these words came out, it immediately caused loud laughter.


    ��Zhoutian Emperor Palace, Emperor One Sect, Lin Yuan Pavilion, these three great forces are called trash! This really broadened my knowledge.��


    ��This Yang Qing is probably out of his mind too, right? Refining pills, who can compare to them?��


    ��I know Hegemon Cloudmount. Even if he comes, he also won��t dare to posture in front of these three major forces, right?��


    �� ��


    With regards to Yang Qing��s choice, everyone turned their noses up in disdain.


    Especially the human race, these three great forces were paramount existences in their hearts.


    Many forces, including factions like the Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion and Zuo Family, all did not dare to offend them too much.


    Yet, Yang Qing did not take them seriously and would rather believe in an Emperor Vast Heaven than trust Zhou Xianchen they all.


    Zhou Xianchen was angered until his face turned green. He originally wanted to use heavenly pills to sow discord between the two. He did not expect that he would get slapped in the face in a blink of an eye.


    ��Hur hur, very good! In the 33 Heavens, no one has dared to speak to my Zhoutian Emperor Palace like this yet! Yang Qing, you chose the path yourself. When the time comes, don��t regret it!�� Zhou Xianchen said with a sneer.


    Yang Qing snickered and said, ��Regret? You conceited morons better don��t regret it when the time comes!��


    Finished speaking, he thickened his skin and said to Ye Yuan, ��How is it? Start refining pills now? I already can��t wait and want to see the expressions of these idiots eating shit!��


    But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��No rush, let me think about it again.��


    Ye Yuan had refined grade eight heavenly pills before, but it was very few.


    Grade eight heavenly pills, each kind was incomparably precious.


    Even if it was the dragon race, they did not have such a well-stocked reserve of heavenly medicines too.


    Furthermore, ever since Ye Yuan comprehended chaos divine essence, he had a new understanding of Alchemy Dao again.


    He still needed to work out how to piece these things perfectly together.


    Yang Qing said excitedly, ��Okay!��


    He knew that since Ye Yuan was so solemn, then it must be something extraordinary.


    If it could be casually refined, he would not behave like this.


    But this scene was different when it landed in the eyes of Zhou Xianchen and the others.


    ��Tch, putting on an appearance, pretending to be profound! Just watch, you guys will regret it!�� Zhou Xianchen said with a cold smile.


    After a bout of fierce dispute, each side divided up the remaining half of the natural treasures.


    The human forces had the most numbers. When they joined hands, they obtained the largest share.


    Apart from this, the fiend race, the feather race, as well as the true spirit race, these powerful races also obtained a considerable share.


    Those that remained could only drink soup.


    After dividing the loot, what remained was naturally pill refinement.


    Swallowing natural treasures whole could naturally increase one��s strength too. But the effect of heavenly pills could undoubtedly maximize the medicinal effect.


    Therefore, Zhoutian Emperor Palace, Emperor One Sect, and Lin Yuan Pavilion, three great forces, immediately became hot pastries.


    The various factions went to find them one after another.


    One had to know that those who came this time were all the elite disciples of these three great forces.


    There were even origin realm powerhouses among them.


    Some had even already reached the origin grade realm!


    Above profound grade was origin grade!


    Origin grade was a vague realm.


    Stepping into origin grade was equivalent to comprehending the source of Alchemy Dao!


    Apart from chaos heavenly pills, there was nothing that they could not refine.


    This way, they naturally became hot commodities.


    Such an opportunity was truly hard to come across.


    It would not be easy to run into so many heavenly medicines again after going out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    ��Young Master Zhou, I��m willing to offer three grade nine heavenly medicines to request your Zhoutian Emperor Palace to take action and help me refine a Heaven Illustrious Pill!��


    ��Emperor Jinnan, I��m willing to give you guys all of the other heavenly medicines. I only seek a grade eight heavenly pill, Chaos Heaven Edict True Pill!��


    ��Young Master Chu ����


    �� ��


    Zhou Xianchen and the rest were immediately surrounded until not even water could seep through.


    Everyone was fighting for them to refine heavenly pills.


    Even the likes of Wang Ningyan and Qin Baichuan were no exception too.


    In the Thousand Souls Hall, their comprehensions were tremendous. Now, they just so happened to need some heavenly pills to unleash the comprehensions.


    At this time, the three great factions naturally became hot commodities.


    Yang Qing��s posturing would not change other people��s inherent ideas.


    These three great forces represented the pinnacle of Alchemy Dao!


    Not looking for them, but looking for an unknown brat?


    You have got be kidding!


    Only two sides were unmoving like a mountain.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and the true spirit race!


    Ye Yuan found a secluded place and closed his eyes to contemplate, carefully understanding the medicinal properties of these heavenly pills.


    And he deduced how to refine these heavenly pills using chaos divine essence.


    While on the other side, the pill refinement had already begun.


    Cries of wonder rose and ebbed!


    As the current era��s number one person, Zhou Xianchen��s alchemy path strength was unfathomable.


    He, this grade nine heavenly alchemist, was extremely popular.


    ��Impressive! Truly impressive! Although Young Master Zhou��s martial strength isn��t the strongest, his alchemy technique really leaves everyone behind until they can only see the dust ahead!��


    ��That��s right! Ancestor Endless is called Alchemy Dao��s number one person! He��s the only person who entered Great Beyond with Alchemy Dao. The successor that he groomed is indeed extraordinary!��


    ��Emperor Jinnan and Young Master Chu can��t be underestimated either! Their strength is also not at all inferior to Young Master Zhou!��


    ��Heh heh, we��re blessed this time! As long as we get the heavenly pill, our strength will surely improve further!��


    �� ��


    Ancestor Endless was the one and only powerhouse in the 33 Heavens who stepped into Great Beyond Realm with Alchemy Dao.


    His existence represented the apex of Alchemy Dao.


    Zhou Xianchen was clearly a distinguished talent in Zhoutian Emperor Palace too.


    Although he had not reached origin realm yet, his alchemy path strength had already stepped into origin grade.


    Comprehending origin was also just within reach.


    When had the various forces seen before such breathtaking pill refinement?


    Each and every one of them felt like their horizons were broadened. The heavenly medicines taken out were also flowing continuously.


    As for Ye Yuan, he had long already been forgotten by them.


    Over here, the pill refinement was being carried out like a raging fire. But over at Ye Yuan��s side, there was not the slightest activity.


    In a blink of an eye, three months passed.


    The efficiencies of Zhou Xianchen and the others were still extremely high. All of the heavenly pills had already been finished refining.


    Their three forces also reaped huge harvests because of the pill refinement this time.


    Although it could not compare to Ye Yuan, it was also considered a huge profit.


    And over at Ye Yuan there, there was nothing happening.


    Ye Yuan was still in a closed-seclusion.


    Zhou Xianchen said mockingly, ��Master Ye, why haven��t you refined pills? Could it be that you want to pocket all those heavenly medicines?��

 Chapter 3045 - Pig Teammate

    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s over 50 thousand people were expressionless.


    Zhou Xianchen originally had the intention of sowing discord. He believed that no one would not be tempted in front of benefits.


    Even if it was their Zhoutian Emperor Palace, these heavenly medicines were not his alone too.


    Benefits had to be balanced out.


    But very sadly, these 50 thousand people seemed to be indifferent. Not one person expressed doubt with regards to Ye Yuan��s action.


    So awkward!


    The stomach full of words that Zhou Xianchen prepared could not be used anymore.


    ��If Heavenly Saint Ye needs it, so what even if he takes these heavenly medicines? Don��t you all agree?�� Gao Hushan suddenly said.


    ��Yes!��


    ��We have no objections!��


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    ��Our lives are all Heavenly Saint Ye��s. Some heavenly medicines are not worth mentioning!��


    �� ��


    Everyone immediately answered without hesitation.


    It was not just Zhou Xianchen, Kong Tan, and Wang Ningyan who were shocked; they were all shocked.


    Were these people idiots?


    Or was it that these over 50 thousand people were all controlled by Ye Yuan?


    But was this possible?


    They were naturally unable to understand how great Ye Yuan��s prestige in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was.


    These people��s lives were all saved by Ye Yuan.


    It was also all Ye Yuan��s credit that they could stand here.


    Could these not be more valuable than a few heavenly medicines?


    Moreover, Ye Yuan was famous for being selfless. Back then, when he entered the Extreme Medicine Sect, he presented all of his precious alchemy path records to the sect.


    Later, he also advocated for releasing resources and benefiting everyone.


    Would such a person covet some heavenly medicines?


    Even if he did, that had a reason too!


    At this time, Ye Yuan slowly got up and said loudly, ��Everyone, I��ll pick 2000 Emperor Vast Heavens out of you all and refine the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill for you all, and help you all break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven! Also, I��ll refine Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill for 300 Emperor Sakra Heavens and help you all comprehend origin! Apart from this, another portion of heavenly medicines is prepared for those mutated bloodline warriors that follow me.��


    Although the heavenly pills here were abundant, being able to support two to three hundred people was already the limit.


    After all, no matter how many the grade eight heavenly medicines, they were not cabbages too.


    An Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill was the best heavenly pill to assault Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    It was just that the heavenly medicines that this pill required were extremely seldom-seen in the outside world. Hence, it was very precious too.


    Previously, those Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouses were also mostly requesting Zhou Xianchen they all to refine this pill.


    But the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill was a grade eight imperial pill. It could help martial artists attain clarity of mind and increase the chances of comprehending origin.


    To an Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouse, it was an extremely precious grade eight heavenly imperial pill.


    Of course, the difficulty was also hell level.


    ��Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill? Hur hur, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven this sort of place, there��s someone who can refine the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill too? Kid, bragging isn��t done like this!�� Chu Fang said with a disdainful look.


    ��Even if he refines it, it will most likely be a useless pill too! Ye Yuan, I��ll give you one last chance; 2000 stalks of heavenly medicines! This Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill, I��ll refine to origin grade for you!�� Zhou Xianchen also said.


    The refining difficulty of the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill was extremely high. Even origin grade powerhouses would find it very hard to refine into origin grade too.


    In Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, only Cloudmount master and disciples, three people, were able to refine this pill.


    The others, even if they were origin realm grade nine heavenly alchemists, they could not refine it at all either.


    Because this heavenly pill already touched upon the secrets of Hegemon!


    Without reaching Hegemon Realm, how could one pry into Hegemon Realm and attain clarity of mind?


    Among Zhou Xianchen, Chu Fan, and Jinnan, three people, only Zhou Xianchen had the confidence to refine it to origin grade smoothly.


    This was because there was a Great Beyond powerhouse standing behind Zhou Xianchen!


    In terms of foundation, his was even deeper than the other two.


    ��Young Master Zhou can actually refine the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill! If I had long known this, I��d have spent a huge price just now to find him to refine!��


    ��A miscalculation! Origin grade Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill is even a hundred times better than my Zhoutian Brightheart Pill!��


    ��That boy didn��t even dare to take action for three months. He clearly doesn��t have the confidence. With just his bit of strength, he also dares to pick a fight with Young Master Zhou?��


    �� ��


    The moment Zhou Xianchen opened his mouth, everyone yelled out their regrets.


    Those Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses also did not expect that Zhou Xianchen could actually refine such a heaven-defying grade eight heavenly imperial pill.


    Zhou Xianchen was very pleased with himself. The Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill should be the peak of Alchemy Dao below Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill.


    In Martial Dao, he was worse than Yang Qing, Kong Tan, and the rest.


    But regarding Alchemy Dao, he was absolutely the most high-profile focal point.


    ��Moron!�� What answered him was Yang Qing��s nonchalant words.


    Zhou Xianchen��s gaze turned cold, and he said, ��What did you say?��


    Yang Qing smiled and said, ��I said, you��re a moron! What does Ye Yuan refining pills have to do with you? Don��t you find it funny that you��re jumping up and down here?��


    Zhou Xianchen smiled coldly and said, ��Yang Qing, do you really think that you��re impressive? You have to know, the consequences of offending a Great Beyond powerhouse are very serious!��


    Yang Qing said disdainfully, ��Screw off! You can��t do it. So you��ll be bringing out your ancestor? How old are you? Aren��t you ashamed?��


    In terms of rebutting, Yang Qing did not lose to anyone.


    Zhou Xianchen was angered until his face flushed red, and he shouted angrily, ��I can��t do it? Hur hur, in terms of martial arts, maybe I��m inferior to you. But in Alchemy Dao, who dares to fight with me?��


    Yang Qing said coolly, ��Stop bragging. Let��s make a bet. If Ye Yuan loses to you, our heavenly medicines will all be yours. However, if Ye Yuan wins against you, your Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s heavenly medicines will all be ours! Calculating it, it��s definitely you who��s in an advantageous position. Do you dare to bet or not?��


    Finished speaking, Yang Qing even winked at Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan smiled. He naturally welcomed free heavenly medicines.


    The reason why he shared the heavenly medicines with the other forces was also due to circumstances.


    Otherwise, Ye Yuan would not be so generous either.


    It was not that Zhou Xianchen could not stand being provoked. It was that he was too confident in himself.


    There was a saying that was circulated in the 33 Heavens: Alchemy Dao in the world originated from the Emperor Palace!


    It could be seen how strong Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s alchemy path strength was.


    As the new generation��s outstanding talent, how could Zhou Xianchen possibly lose to others?


    After Yang Qing said this, Zhou Xianchen calmed down instead and said with a sneer, ��In Alchemy Dao, there hasn��t been an opponent that I, Zhou Xianchen, don��t dare to compete against! However, since you want to compete, then we naturally have to compete in medicinal effects! How about this? We��ll send out 2300 people too and compare the effects of the medicinal pills that we each refined. We��ll see which of us has more breakthroughs in the end! Speaking of which, this is still you all getting off cheap. The medicinal effects of the heavenly pills that I refine aren��t as good as the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill. Do you all dare?��


    Although he said so, actually, the aptitudes of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s martial artists were far worse than the other few factions.


    Humanity��s three supreme heavens, this was not said for fun.


    Even if it was the other races, those who came were top geniuses too.


    In contrast, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s so-called geniuses were simply not enough to look at.


    With Zhou Xianchen saying so, Yang Qing hesitated instead.


    He naturally knew the quality of those who came from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Seeing Yang Qing��s expression, Zhou Xianchen smiled coldly and said, ��Why? Don��t dare?��


    ��Not at all. I agree,�� Ye Yuan said coolly.


    A hint of cunningness flashed across Zhou Xianchen��s face, and he said with a smile, ��Good, gutsy enough! This Zhou will kindly accept your heavenly medicines!��


    He felt that Yang Qing was really a pig teammate, putting Ye Yuan on the fire to roast.


    Now, in Zhou Xianchen��s mind, Ye Yuan had lost for sure!

 Chapter 3046 - Grade Eight Comprehending Origin!

    ��Master Ye, what are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and show your skills. Let rookies like us broaden our knowledge!�� Zhou Xianchen said with a cold smile.


    ��Master Ye can even refine the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill with ease. We really feel ashamed of our unworthiness! Hurry up and show your abilities. Let us take a look!��


    ��We really didn��t expect that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually produced a genius such as yourself!��


    Those watching the show did not mind if matters blew up. Chu Fang and Jinnan also kicked up a fuss.


    Either way, the one betting with Ye Yuan was Zhou Xianchen. Even if Ye Yuan really won, they would not suffer any losses either.


    Of course, they did not think that Ye Yuan could beat Zhou Xianchen.


    In alchemy, they were not convinced by anyone but Zhou Xianchen.


    The various forces were all waiting to see the joke.


    Ye Yuan��s palm moved, nirvanic rebirth fire leaping up, directly enveloping the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill��s heavenly medicines.


    Ever since Ye Yuan fused the four great true spirit bloodlines, the power of this nirvanic rebirth fire also rose several levels.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    Refining heavenly pills became even more accomplished with high proficiency.


    However, this move garnered waves of ridicule in the eyes of Zhou Xianchen and the others.


    ��I was wondering how impressive Master Ye was. After messing around for half a day, you��re only refining an Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill. This kind of heavenly pill, I could refine 30 at the same time when I was Emperor Vast Heaven! If it��s now, refining 300 at the same time is a cinch to me!�� Zhou Xianchen could not help laughing as he said.


    Chu Fang laughed and said, ��Brother Zhou is skilled! This Chu can only refine around 230 pills currently.��


    Jinnan nodded and said, ��Being able to refine 300, Brother Zhou��s strength is indeed formidable!��


    The more heavenly pills that you refined at the same time, naturally the higher the requirements on the heavenly alchemist.


    Regarding the control of fire and the amalgamation of heavenly medicines, all required a huge expenditure of energy.


    To some extent, the greater the number when refining at the same time, naturally, the stronger the heavenly alchemist��s strength.


    The refining difficulty of the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill naturally could not compare to the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill.


    Like when Zhou Xianchen, this kind of expert, was refining, it was normally refining many at the same time.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan was just refining one at a time. Hence, it ended up as a laughingstock.


    But very soon, they could not laugh anymore.


    This was because Ye Yuan was really very strong!


    When experts made their move, the genuine and the fake would become clear at a glance.


    Zhou Xianchen and a few others could be said to be grandmasters in alchemy. They could naturally tell with one glance whether or not Ye Yuan had skills.


    ��Origin grade realm! This boy actually entered origin grade realm too!�� Jinnan cried out in surprise.


    In their view, if someone that came out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven could enter profound grade at this cultivation realm, it was already very good.


    They did not expect that Ye Yuan actually entered origin grade!


    The talents of Zhou Xianchen and the rest were even stronger than Ye Yuan��s senior apprentice brother, Zhou Pinespring.


    Zhou Pinespring only stepped into origin grade after Emperor Sakra Heaven too.


    But Zhou Xianchen entered origin grade when he was upper Emperor Vast Heaven.


    Meanwhile, Jinnan two people were a level worse, only entering origin grade at grand completion Emperor Vast Heaven.


    However, this was already very strong.


    The vast majority of heavenly alchemists were stuck in profound grade and were unable to break through.


    But who could that thought that Ye Yuan, this rookie who came from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, actually entered origin grade at lower Emperor Vast Heaven Realm?


    Didn��t this mean that Ye Yuan��s talent was even greater than theirs?


    Zhou Xianchen smiled coldly and said, ��I was wondering why this punk was so cocky. It turns out that he entered origin grade! But so what if he entered origin grade? This young master has already pried into the origin of Alchemy Dao!��


    He could overpower Chu Fang and Jinnan because he comprehended origin!


    This was also what he was proudest of.


    He was just lower Emperor Sakra Heaven but already comprehended origin.


    In the future, when he reached grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven, it would be much easier to step into the realm of Hegemon.


    The path of cultivation, ahead by a step, it meant being ahead at every step. This was not said for fun.


    But, as if getting slapped, a surge of origin power was released from Ye Yuan��s body, integrating into the nirvanic rebirth fire.


    Alchemy Dao origin!


    Actually, Ye Yuan had already understood Alchemy Dao origin when searching for the way out for those bloodline warriors in the Dragon Clan.


    There were a million origin seeds in Ye Yuan��s body; cultivating yielded twice the results with half the effort.


    No matter how he cultivated, Ye Yuan��s Alchemy Dao was always at the forefront.


    Ye Yuan relied on his powerful alchemy path talent and forcibly broke through the limitations of cultivation realm, comprehending Alchemy Dao origin.


    But, when this scene appeared before everyone��s eyes, it was seriously too shocking.


    Zhou Xianchen��s face burned fiery hot, wishing to swallow the words earlier back into his stomach.


    But the bystanders did not care about his regret anymore.


    ��Grade eight comprehending origin? This �� This is also too fake, right?�� Jinnan said with a look of disbelief.


    ��Alchemy Dao origin, the difficulty of comprehending is no less than spatial origin, these top origins. How can he possibly comprehend Alchemy Dao origin in Emperor Vast Heaven?�� Chu Fang said in horror.


    The path of alchemy was far too difficult.


    Putting aside that the path of alchemy was complicated to the extreme, even during the cultivation journey, the countless resources that one needed were also not what the average person could afford to consume.


    The few of them were able to have a strength that far exceeded their peers at this realm because they had powerful backing.


    But even so, they were flung far behind by Ye Yuan too.


    Zhou Xianchen was still fine, but Jinnan and Chu Fang were far too lacking.


    Even Kong Tan also had a look of shock and said, ��Where did this boy pop out from? When did the puny little Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven produce such a monster? Disregarding Yang Qing, a monster that suppressed all the heavens in Alchemy Dao actually appeared too!��


    Yu Ran said, ��No wonder this kid behaved so arrogantly. It turns out that he really has some ability. But, even if he comprehended origin, it��s very hard to beat Zhou Xianchen too, right?��


    Kong Tan nodded and said, ��That��s of course! Similarly having comprehended origin, Zhou Xianchen is a grade nine heavenly alchemist after all! Furthermore, there��s even a Great Beyond Realm alchemy path overlord standing behind him. It��s impossible to lose to that kid no matter what.��


    Yu Ran said, ��Then I��m relieved! If this kid wins, I��ll be angered to death.��


    While Yang Qing laughed loudly and said, ��This guy is always so trustworthy! Even I also didn��t think that he comprehended origin in Emperor Vast Heaven!��


    Time trickled by. Three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    Only to hear Ye Yuan yell: ��Go!��


    A scarlet red heavenly pill flew straight for Yang Qing.


    ��This is yours!�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Alright!�� Yang Qing caught the heavenly pill and directly swallowed it without another word.


    Then he felt a vast power opening up his four limbs and bones.


    Behind Yang Qing, the Door of Eternal Life appeared on its own accord!


    The power of this medicinal pill directly called forth the Door of Eternal Life!


    Yang Qing was shocked!


    ��My God, the power of this heavenly pill is also a little too terrifying, right?�� Yang Qing could not resist complaining.


    He felt that this heavenly pill seemed to be very different from the heavenly pills that Ye Yuan refined in the past.


    But, in what way was it different, he could not pinpoint it too.


    All in all, it was ridiculously strong!


    Only to see Yang Qing brandish his long spear, his figure fusing into one with the spear body, turning into a rainbow as he rushed toward the second seal.


    In fact, he did not even make preparations.


    Boom!


    The second seal opened in response!

 Chapter 3047 - Thread Control Pill Refinement!

    ��So strong!��


    ��Accomplished in one stroke! Is Emperor Sakra Heaven so easy?��


    ��This is the power of the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill!��


    ��Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill can increase 30% strength in an instant, helping to break through the seal. But, looking at this power �� it��s probably far more than 30%!��


    �� ��


    From swallowing the heavenly pill to breaking the seal with one spear, it was merely a short ten breaths of time.


    This process was too short!


    For ordinary martial artists, even if it was a same rank powerhouse like Kong Tan, breaking open the second seal would need several hours to accumulate power too.


    But Yang Qing did it too effortlessly.


    Such a great bottleneck was completely no bottleneck to him at all.


    Please Keep reading 0n MYB0XN0VEL(.)C0M


    ��Hahaha, satisfying! What��s this heavenly pill of yours called?�� Yang Qing said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Let��s call it Chaos Element Heavenly Pill then!��


    Yang Qing contemplated and said with a nod, ��Fitting! Chaos Element Heavenly Pill! Very good! Zhou Xianchen, are you convinced?��


    Zhou Xianchen was somewhat jealous. He knew that Ye Yuan��s heavenly pill was not simple.


    This was because Yang Qing had not reached the peak of Emperor Vast Heaven at all. It was not time to break through his realm yet.


    But his breakthrough had an unstoppable momentum.


    This heavenly pill was naturally incredible.


    At least, it was not worse than the quality he refined.


    ��Tch, you, Yang Qing, are number one on the All-Heavens List and Thousand Souls List, dual lists! If you can��t even break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven, you can go and kill yourself! This heavenly pill is merely adding flowers to embroidery! Just this and you even specially gave a name, how shameless!�� Zhou Xianchen said with a sneer.


    In reality, this was also what most people thought.


    Yang Qing��s strength was formidable, overwhelming all heroes.


    It was not as hard as imagined for him to break through to Emperor Vast Heaven.


    The Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill was merely superfluous.


    Such a shocking breakthrough, it was still mainly because of Yang Qing himself.


    ��That��s right! What you guys are competing in is the result based on 2300 people, and not one person! Among the 2000 Emperor Vast Heavens that Brother Zhou picked, there are already 80% who succeeded in breaking through! Can you do it, Ye Yuan?�� Jinnan said.


    Before Ye Yuan spoke, Zhou Xianchen satirized him to his face again, saying, ��Master Ye, you wouldn��t be refining one by one like this, right? By the time you finish refining, wouldn��t we have to wait until god knows when? How do we still explore the Labyrinth Divine Palace?��


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, ��Not to that extent! That one earlier was just a warm-up. Now, it officially begins!��


    Boom!


    Before his voice faded, a cluster of nirvanic rebirth fire instantly burst out.


    This cluster of nirvanic rebirth fire was hundreds of feet in diameter!


    Then a large pile of heavenly medicines was directly thrown into the nirvanic rebirth fire by Ye Yuan.


    Zhou Xianchen saw it easily. That large pile of heavenly medicines had sufficient quantities for 2000 people!


    This guy was actually going to refine 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills at once?


    ��Is there a mistake? Young Master Zhou can only refine 300 at a time, but Ye Yuan is going to refine 2000 in one go?��


    ��This guy is too capable at posturing, right?��


    ��Who does he think he is? A chaos heavenly master?��


    �� ��


    When everyone saw this scene, they instantly blew up, mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his own ability one after another.


    Refining 2000 grade eight heavenly pills at the same time, furthermore, Ye Yuan was still just Emperor Vast Heaven Realm; could he hold out?


    If his divine essence got exhausted halfway through the refinement, that would be fun.


    Furthermore, refining 2000 grade eight heavenly pills at the same time, this requirement of the origin divinity was simply hair-raisingly harsh.


    What rights did a mere grade eight heavenly alchemist have?


    Even some laymen were also mocking Ye Yuan��s ignorance.


    The refinement previously had indeed stunned everyone.


    But, refining 2000 in one go, everyone had to admit that posturing too hard would sprain your waist!


    ��Hur hur, although the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill isn��t a very difficult grade eight heavenly pill to us, it can��t be randomly refined too. Refining 2000 of this kind of heavenly pill at the same time, it��s absolutely impossible under chaos heavenly master! This boy is probably being funny, right?�� Chu Fang could not help laughing when he saw the situation.


    Jinnan clasped his hands to Zhou Xianchen and said with a smile, ��Looks like we have to congratulate Brother Zhou in advance for returning fully loaded!��


    Zhou Xianchen also felt that his victory was certain and said smilingly, ��This boy has talent. It��s just a pity that he postures too much. Otherwise, even if he isn��t my match, he wouldn��t lose too terribly either. But now, hur hur.��


    Yu Ran also smiled and said, ��I don��t know pill refinement, but refining 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, this divine essence consumption is far from what Emperor Vast Heavens can bear, right?��


    Zhou Xianchen nodded and said, ��For 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, it needs at least the divine essence reserve of grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm before one can barely manage to refine it. But this isn��t the most important thing. The most important thing is that this is a huge burden on the origin divinity! Even if he has this strength, his origin divinity will be overwhelmed too! A single misstep, and he��ll even hurt himself. Let��s just wait and see the show!��


    Zhou Xianchen��s analysis was already quite on point. Everyone understood it.


    Ye Yuan was very amazing.


    In the end, he could only amaze himself to death.


    Disregarding other things, just the grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven divine essence reserve would be too much for Ye Yuan to bear.


    Hence, everyone settled down and waited to watch the show.


    Even when Yang Qing heard it, he also wondered if Ye Yuan went overboard?


    He was originally brimming with confidence in Ye Yuan, but now, he had some doubts.


    Otherwise, refining 500 at a time should not be that much of a burden, right?


    Just 500 was enough to suppress Zhou Xianchen!


    This guy was really keen to steal the limelight!


    Yang Qing hoped that he wouldn��t mess it up.


    Except, everyone could not detect that Heavenless was currently spying on every movement and action here.


    Seeing Ye Yuan refine pills, Heavenless chuckled and said to himself, ��This boy, what astonishing control! Condensing essence as threads, controlling 2000 heavenly pills at the same time, not a single bit of divine essence is wasted! This skill, even this ancestor��s breath is taken away in astonishment too!��


    He had long been paying close attention to Ye Yuan!


    The others, even if it was Yang Qing, in Heavenless�� eyes, it was nothing more than this.


    One had to know, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s most stunning genius was not those in the Thousand Souls Hall, but he, Heavenless, himself!


    He was the number one rare talent since time immemorial!


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance made his eyes light up.


    This guy actually brought a million people and cleared the Vertical Heaven Stairs!


    Being able to deduce his Dao so thoroughly was not what the average Emperor Vast Heaven could accomplish.


    Later, Ye Yuan even ravaged the Thousand Souls Hall, bringing more than 50 thousand people into the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Each step was stunning to the extreme.


    He examined his own conscience and felt that even if it was him, he could not do better than Ye Yuan too.


    What he did not expect even more was that Ye Yuan was actually also a very powerful heavenly alchemist!��


    This divine essence control made him click his tongue in wonder.


    Outsiders could not see it, but inside the nirvanic rebirth fire, two fine threads spread out, linking up 2000 medicinal embryos.


    Two fine threads, one was chaos divine essence, the second was origin divinity.


    Ye Yuan relied on these two fine threads to control the refinement of 2000 heavenly pills.


    This kind of refinement, the utilization of divine essence and origin divinity was delicate to a hair-raising extent.


    Regardless of whether it was divine essence or origin divinity, it was all employed where they were needed the most without any wastage.


    Heavenless discerned that compared to Ye Yuan, Zhou Xianchen was nothing at all!

 Chapter 3048 - Perfect!

    ��This �� It has already been three days. His divine essence doesn��t have the slightest sign of dying up!��


    ��Not only is his divine essence fine, but it also seems like there are no signs of too much mental malaise. Is this guy really Emperor Vast Heaven?��


    ��Could it be that he can really successfully refine these 2000 heavenly pills? If that��s really the case, then it will really be incredible!��


    �� ��


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Things did not go as Zhou Xianchen and the rest expected.


    Fatigue was a certainty, but Ye Yuan did not show overly obvious symptoms.


    Zhou Xianchen��s expression became uglier and uglier.


    But there was more uncertainty.


    ��Could it be that this guy is forcibly holding out? Actually, he has long already ruined the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills? Right, it must be like this!�� Zhou Xianchen said with certainty.


    Because apart from this possibility, he could not think of other possibilities.


    ��That��s right. In my view, the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills have long been ruined already! This boy is merely holding out for face; that��s all. Otherwise, with his realm, how can he possibly sustain for such a long time?�� Jinnan said.


    Hence, everyone regained confidence, waiting to see Ye Yuan become a joke.


    On the fifth day, some people became impatient.


    ��Boy, are you going to refine until heaven and earth get old?��


    ��If you can��t, admit defeat earlier! It will only be more embarrassing like this!��


    ��To refine 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, you��re still calm and relaxed until now. Do you take all of us to be fools?��


    �� ��


    At this time, practically everyone felt that Ye Yuan was just performing.


    They believed those heavenly medicines had long already been ruined.


    Because up till now, Ye Yuan was still rather relaxed.


    This kind of performance was seriously too clumsy in their view.


    Yang Qing smiled coldly and said, ��Zhou Xianchen, I remember when you refined 300 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, you spent five days too, right? Ye Yuan is refining 2000, he��ll naturally take longer than you! Keep yelling, and Your Father will stab you with a spear!��


    Zhou Xianchen��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��With my strength, refining 300 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills is rather taxing too. This punk is refining 2000 pills and still so calm and relaxed. Isn��t he fooling everyone?��


    Yang Qing said disdainfully, ��How can a foolish person like you understand the methods of a genius?��


    Zhou Xianchen was furious!


    His Alchemy Dao talent reigned supreme across the 33 Heavens. He was a distinguished talent among the junior generation.


    When had he been called a nincompoop by someone before?


    Yang Qing this guy really deserved death!


    But sadly, Yang Qing had already broken through to Emperor Sakra Heaven. He was not Yang Qing��s match at all.


    On the seventh day, everyone already lost patience.


    ��Liar, when are you guys going to drag it out until?��


    ��Can��t take it anymore. We request to forcefully interrupt!��


    ��Kid, without genuine ability, don��t go and do what you can��t accomplish! Is it very interesting to puff yourself up at your own cost?��


    �� ��


    Many people were cursing away. Some people even tried to interrupt Ye Yuan��s refinement.


    Yang Qing snorted coldly and put his spear horizontally as he said, ��Try moving! Ask the spear in your Grandpa Yang��s hands whether it agrees or not first!��


    Then these people shut up.


    One Yang Qing was not scary.


    But 50 thousand people were standing behind Yang Qing!


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan��s aura suddenly swept, and he gave a cold cry ��Go��!


    The nirvanic rebirth fire instantly dissipated. One heavenly pill after another tore through the air, flying straight into the hands of those Emperor Vast Heavens.


    Before this, he had already selected 2000 people.


    Vertical Heaven Stairs and Thousand Souls Hall, Ye Yuan had actually been observing a group of people besides explaining Dao too.


    These 2000 people were all very promising.


    Hu Gaoshan was one of them.


    He had already reached grand completion Emperor Vast Heaven too, but he did not reach the peak and was still short of a final push.


    Logically speaking, he was the same as Yang Qing, not suited to assault Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    Without full preparations, assaulting Emperor Sakra Heaven rashly would have very severe consequences.


    The Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill in his hand was naturally origin grade without a doubt.


    But, even if it was origin grade, there was also no guarantee that he could succeed.


    After all, not everyone was a freak like Yang Qing.


    But at this time, the entire audience was already in an uproar.


    Because these 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills were all origin grade!


    The quality of each one was not inferior to what Zhou Xianchen refined.


    However, even Zhou Xianchen��s 300 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, there were occasionally some defective products too.


    Although the quality of these defective products did not drop out of origin grade, it was still quite poor compared to the others.


    There were differences in origin grade too.


    But the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills in these 2000 people��s hands seemingly came out of the pipeline. The quality of each one was perfect and flawless!


    Those present were all experts. The quality of the heavenly pills was clear at a glance.


    Hence, everyone was shocked.


    ��He �� He actually really did it! How is this possible?��


    ��It��s hard to imagine! Those 2000 heavenly pills, the quality actually doesn��t err by a hair��s breadth! How perfect a refinement is needed to achieve this!��


    ��What��s even more damnable is that he actually refined 2000 heavenly pills with plenty of room to maneuver! Didn��t Young Master Zhou say that only grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven can have such strong divine essence?��


    ��His effortlessness before was actually not feigned! This is also too freaking impossible, right?��


    �� ��


    Those people who were originally mocking all fell into an incredulous shock at this time.


    They racked their brains and also could not figure out how Ye Yuan completed an impossible matter!


    Right under their eyelids!


    Zhou Xianchen was already dumbfounded. He was stunned by this spectacular scene.


    Each Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill in those 2000 people��s hands were seemingly perfect replicas.


    Reaching his realm, he was even more able to understand what astonishing control power this required!


    With regards to divine essence, refinement technique, origin divinity, all of it could not make the slightest oversight and mistake.


    This sort of thing, forget about Emperor Vast Heaven; even if it was a Hegemon Realm expert, they might not be able to do it too.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    How could there be such a monstrous person in this world?


    He could discern at a glance that the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills Ye Yuan refined, the quality did not lose to his in the slightest.


    In fact, it was a fraction stronger.


    But Ye Yuan refined 2000 at the same time!


    This disparity, as long as one was not blind, they could be able to tell!


    ��I, Zhou Xianchen, was actually crushed by an unknown kid?�� Zhou Xianchen said somewhat blankly.


    Jinnan and Chu Fang were stunned too!


    They had long already been confident that Ye Yuan was definitely putting on a show.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan used powerful strength to slap their faces hard!


    Made them understand that there was always someone better, heaven beyond heaven!


    ��Hahaha �� Dumbfounded, right? I told you long ago that you morons can��t understand the methods of a genius! Ye Yuan, this guy, is just that tiny bit worse than this emperor. Wouldn��t suppressing you fooling guys be an effortless thing?�� Yang Qing said with a loud laugh.


    Everyone exchanged glances and actually had nothing to say in response.


    Yeah, those who came here were all geniuses among geniuses.


    But they were nothing in front of Ye Yuan and Yang Qing!


    Yang Qing swept away the geniuses from all heavens, dominating the All-Heavens List and Thousand Souls List by himself, shocking the 33 Heavens.


    Ye Yuan refined 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills simultaneously, crushing the alchemy path geniuses from all heavens!


    Even Zhou Xianchen, this alchemy path��s number one genius, was completely crushed too!

 Chapter 3049 - Keep It Up!

    Before today, people��s understanding of geniuses was generally regarding the likes of Zhou Xianchen and Kong Tan.


    Even if some geniuses came roaring into existence, they would not surpass this scope by too much as well.


    But today, this upper limit was clearly being refreshed by a lot.


    It was like breaking a record.


    If refining 300 heavenly pills simultaneously was a record, Ye Yuan forcibly raised this record by close to seven times!


    This concept was an absolutely terrifying record in this circle of geniuses.


    Reaching this level, even increasing the record by 5% was incredibly difficult.


    Let alone to increase it by as much as seven times!


    It could be imagined how shocked everybody currently was.


    But Zhou Xianchen clearly would not admit defeat so easily.


    After the shock, he smiled coldly and said, ��What are you being smug for? The medicinal effect of the heavenly pill is the most important! The heavenly pills that I refined, 80% have already broken through to Emperor Sakra Heaven! I really want to see how many people you can let break through!��


    Yang Qing laughed loudly and said, ��You won��t shed tears without seeing the coffin! Brothers, let this moron see how strong the medicinal effect is!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Hu Gaoshan swallowed the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill in one gulp.


    All of a sudden, he felt all the divine essence in his body start seething.


    The Door of Eternal Life immediately appeared.


    Hu Gaoshan felt that he had never been so powerful before!


    Only to see him raise a fist and suddenly smash towards the second seal.


    Boom!


    The second seal trembled, then it started cracking.


    The cracks grew bigger and bigger. Finally, it collapsed with a loud bang!


    Hu Gaoshan, who had yet to reach grand completion, directly broke through to Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    Although it was not done in one breath like Yang Qing, it was already shocking enough.


    Hu Gaoshan��s aptitude was merely so-so in the eyes of normal people.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    One Door of Eternal Life after another was smashed open without the slightest obstacle.


    In fact, there were even some who had barely reached grand completion Emperor Vast Heaven that also directly broke through to Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    The 2000 people that Ye Yuan picked, regardless of which aspects you looked, they were all inferior to Zhou Xianchen��s 2000 people.


    But the breakthrough numbers completely crushed Zhou Xianchen��s!


    These 2000 people all broke through to Emperor Sakra Heaven without exception!


    100%


    The whole audience was in a stir!


    ��How is this possible? Some of these people were not suited to break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven at all, and they actually broke through too!��


    ��When did breaking through to Emperor Sakra Heaven become so easy?��


    ��The quality of Ye Yuan��s Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill seems to be roughly the same as Zhou Xianchen��s. Why is the medicinal effect so different? This is impossible!��


    �� ��


    Attentive people had already realized the difference.


    On the surface, the quality of Ye Yuan��s heavenly pills was not higher than Zhou Xianchen��s.


    But the medicine effect spoke for itself!


    Those people who consumed Zhou Xianchen��s heavenly pills were basically all peak Emperor Vast Heaven, unable to rise anymore.


    But the 2000 people that Ye Yuan picked, there were roughly half who did not meet the conditions to break through.


    However, everyone broke through to Emperor Sakra Heaven without any exceptions!


    This was terrifying!


    One had to know that medicinal effects of heavenly pills were not the same for each person.


    Same quality heavenly pill, when consumed by martial artists of the same cultivation realm, the difference was huge!


    Some people would directly break through their realm.


    But some would have a very small growth or even nothing.


    This was determined by the individual��s aptitude.


    Of course, origin grade heavenly pill, no matter how lousy, it would not be zero growth too.


    In terms of aptitude, the 2000 people that Ye Yuan picked, people with discerning eyes knew that they were far worse than Zhou Xianchen��s 2000 people with one glance.


    But the breakthrough rate was 100%!


    What kind of concept was this?


    This showed that the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills that Ye Yuan refined, the medicinal effect was significantly stronger than Zhou Xianchen��s!


    A total of 2000 Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses instantly appeared among the 50 thousand people!


    Zhou Xianchen could not bear it anymore. All of his glory was shattered to pieces at this moment.


    Ye Yuan��s Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill completely crushed him!


    ��H-How can this be? This is impossible! Even if Father was here, it��s impossible to do it so flawlessly too! How can there possibly be someone who doesn��t make any mistakes?�� Zhou Xianchen was somewhat falling apart.


    His father was Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s Supreme Hegemon, and he was also a chaos heavenly master.


    But, even if it was his father, he could not do it so perfectly like Ye Yuan too.


    An Emperor Vast Heaven did something that even a Supreme Hegemon could not accomplish!


    Boom!


    Just as everyone was shocked, the nirvanic rebirth fire started again!


    Ye Yuan did not have the intention of ridiculing Zhou Xianchen at all. After resting briefly, he directly started refining the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill.


    Furthermore, it was refining 300 together!


    Everyone who had not woken up from the shock yet, fell into a frenzy once more.


    ��Got to be kidding! He��s going to refine the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill?!��


    ��Refining 300 together, is he mad? The refining difficulty of the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill is at least 100 times that of the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill��


    ��Furthermore, he has just refined 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills. His condition shouldn��t have recovered to the peak yet, right? Can he stand this kind of refinement?��


    ��Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill, the divine essence and soul force consumed is absolutely more than a hundred times that of the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill! How can this possibly be completed?��


    ��If he can even succeed in refining this, Your Father will pluck my head off to feed dogs!��


    �� ��


    Those who knew the profession all knew that 300 Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills and 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, the difficulty was not on the same level at all.


    Regarding the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill, even refining one would take a tremendous effort.


    This level of heavenly imperial pill, it was an issue of whether or not it could be refined, and not an issue of quality.


    In the end, Ye Yuan was going to refine at the same time!


    Just this action, it represented boundless scorn for Zhou Xianchen.


    But, even if Ye Yuan successfully refined 2000 Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills, they also did not believe that Ye Yuan could successfully refine these Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills.


    This sort of thing was a little too bizarre.


    While they did not believe it, this time, people were not so impulsive anymore.


    Ye Yuan had already exhibited unparalleled strength. No matter what the result was, him crushing the juniors of the three great alchemy path factions was already an undeniable fact.


    Nobody could deny this.


    But, if Ye Yuan really succeeded, that would be climbing up to another summit!


    Currently, Zhou Xianchen still had the qualification to compete with him.


    But, if Ye Yuan succeeded, Zhou Xianchen would not even have the qualification to compete with him anymore.


    The two people would already be on completely different levels.


    This was also where the significance of the refinement this time lay.


    Hence, everyone put away the shock in their hearts and paid close attention to Ye Yuan��s refinement.


    Compared to the Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pill, Ye Yuan��s refinement this time did not have such a great commotion.


    That cluster of nirvanic rebirth fire was much smaller.


    But people with discerning eyes would know at a glance that the power of the flames was several times stronger than before!


    This time, a tense expression finally appeared on Ye Yuan��s face.


    Fine beads of sweat also started seeping out on his forehead. But very soon, it was evaporated by the nirvanic rebirth fire.


    In the void, Heavenless�� pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��Terrific lad, to actually still be hiding a card up his sleeves! Impressive! Impressive! Such a refinement, it��s not overboard to describe using reaching the acme of perfection! Even if it was this ancestor back then, I was far worse than him too! I didn��t expect that after many years, such a monster would appear in the world again!��

 Chapter 3050 - Opening the Door to a New World!

    Everyone clearly felt the difference in the refinement this time.


    Although they could not see all the different changes in the nirvanic rebirth fire, the origin aura emanating from Ye Yuan��s body was still Great Dao pressure. They could all feel it distinctly.


    Most importantly, Ye Yuan really felt strained this time!


    This was Ye Yuan��s pinnacle refinement!


    Regarding the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill, it was pretty much the ceiling of grade eight heavenly pills already.


    Wanting to refine it was not that easy.


    Refining 300 Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills at the same time, it was basically Ye Yuan��s limit too.


    This difficulty was unimaginably great!


    Especially Zhou Xianchen, Jinnan, Chu Fang, and the rest, they knew even better how horrifying the refinement this time was.


    ��If he really succeeds, it will probably be an insurmountable peak in the history of Alchemy Dao!�� Chu Fang said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    ��This kind of refinement can only be described with reaching the acme of perfection! Once refined, that will really be an accomplishment that surpasses ancient and modern times!�� Jinnan similarly said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ye Yuan��s strength was already beyond question.


    Logically speaking, they should be mocking Ye Yuan at this time.


    But, for some reason, they actually faintly started looking forward to it.


    Zhou Xianchen was not their goal.


    Or one could say, although Zhou Xianchen was strong, he was not insurmountable.


    But Ye Yuan was creating a peak!


    Once completed, that would be their lifelong goal!


    Zhou Xianchen sneered and said, ��Are the two of you crazy? What kind of heavenly pill the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill is, don��t you guys have a clue in your hearts? 300 Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills, there��s absolutely no one in this world who can refine it!��


    Jinnan nodded and said, ��Of course I know how hard it is! But it��s precisely because of this that it��s worthy of anticipation! As the alchemy path��s number one person, don��t you look forward to this kind of peak? Or is it that with your current height, you can really catch up to Ancestor Endless and achieve Great Beyond?��


    Chu Fang followed up, saying,�� Your father, Hegemon Sunshock, wasn��t inferior to you at all when he was young. But to this day, he��s unable to push open the Door of Eternal Life! Then, do you feel that you��re stronger than your father? Heavenly alchemists of our generation, isn��t reaching Great Beyond what we pursue? If Ye Yuan succeeds, it will similarly hold extraordinary significance to us!��


    Zhou Xianchen��s entire body trembled fiercely!


    He suddenly discovered that he had already fallen into some kind of confusion.


    Yes, he became confused about his Dao!


    Just as Chu Fang said, his own father, the disciple that Ancestor Endless was most proud of, was unable to push open the Door of Eternal Life by relying on Alchemy Dao and step into Great Beyond to this day.


    Then he naturally could not as well!


    This was because he was unable to surpass his father.


    Since this path was unable to reach the Great Beyond, then what meaning was there?


    Hence, he was actually confused for so many years.


    But these were all bewitched by the countless worshiping voices.


    And Ye Yuan��s appearance was seemingly like a clap of thunder that shocked the world; enlightening the benighted!


    Jinnan and Chu Fang had woken up, but he was still lost in his achievements.


    He was unable to accept the reality of Ye Yuan surpassing him and still looked forward to Ye Yuan losing.


    He never thought before that once Ye Yuan succeeded in refining, how great a significance that would be!


    Hence, Zhou Xianchen woke up.


    He stepped forward and walked toward the nirvanic rebirth fire.


    There was also Jinnan and Chu Fang who stepped forward together.


    Yang Qing��s pupils constricted, and he stopped the three people, saying in a cold voice, ��Stop! What do you all want to do?��


    Zhou Xianchen gave a bow respectfully and said, ��Brother Yang, I hope that you can be magnanimous enough to forgive my previous offense!��


    Yang Qing was taken aback. Why did this guy change his character? There must be a conspiracy!


    ��If you��re apologizing, just apologize. What are you rushing over for? Keep moving forward and this emperor will take care of you guys!�� Yang Qing said with heightened vigilance.


    Zhou Xianchen had a look of sincerity and said, ��Brother Yang is mistaken. This Zhou has already completely lost this wager, and I no longer have thoughts of trying to win! Master Ye��s refinement is the unreachable summit of Alchemy Dao. It��s too important to the three of us! We want to view it! Rest assured, the three of us will only probe into the nirvanic rebirth fire with divine sense and absolutely won��t disturb Master Ye��s pill refinement!��


    Yang Qing��s face revealed a strange look. He was already prepared to posture. In the end, these three people were subjugated by Ye Yuan?


    Wrong, there was still a conspiracy!


    This kind of top sects�� successors, they were all second and third generation, being insufferably arrogant. They were often the best targets for face-slapping. How could they possibly be subjugated?


    These three guys were definitely thinking of ruining Ye Yuan��s pill refinement.


    ��No way, you all can��t go over!�� Yang Qing was unrelenting.


    ��Let them come over.�� Ye Yuan��s voice came over.


    The three people exchanged a glance, full of shock.


    They thought that Ye Yuan was already tensed to the extreme.


    They did not expect that he actually still had the strength to spare!


    If he was really tensed to the extreme, it would be impossible to have the energy to pay attention to other matters.


    Being able to open his mouth showed that he still had leftover strength!


    What a terrifying guy!


    Yang Qing also knew that Ye Yuan could not get too distracted.


    Although he felt that it was not appropriate, he still let them through.


    The three people arrived not far from the nirvanic rebirth fire. Giving a bow toward Ye Yuan, they said, ��Many thanks, Master Ye!��


    When calling ��Master Ye�� previously, the three of them were full of mockery.


    But now, it was wholeheartedly convinced.


    Ye Yuan did not reply. The three people each sent out a wisp of divine sense and carefully entered the nirvanic rebirth fire.


    Then, the situation inside the nirvanic rebirth fire instantly leaped into their eyes.


    Virtually at the same time, the three people shuddered all over.


    They saw a scene that they would never forget for life.


    Ye Yuan opened the door to a new world for them!


    In the nirvanic rebirth fire, 300 illusory nebulae were arranged organically.


    One fine thread after another connected these 300 nebulae together.


    The end of the threads was in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    These 300 nebulae were magnificently beautiful, akin to the starry sea.


    Ye Yuan seemed to be creating 300 worlds.


    Reaching their realm, they naturally understood the logic of one pill, one world.


    But the world that Ye Yuan created was too perfect!


    They even felt that these heavenly pills achieved the same wondrous effect as the Eternal River through different means!


    What did this show?


    It showed that Ye Yuan��s comprehension of Dao had already reached an extremely high realm.


    At this moment, they finally understood why Ye Yuan could refine 2000 identical Eight Universe Seal Breaking Pills.


    Marvelous work of art!


    Taking breaths away in astonishment!


    Prostrating on all fours!


    But they did not dare to make the slightest irregular movement.


    At this very moment, they could not bear to break such a wonderful realm too.


    To a heavenly alchemist, such a scene was their lifelong pursuit.


    While in the outside world, it had long already burst into an uproar.


    ��Too impressive! Master Ye actually subdued Zhou Xianchen three people!��


    ��You look at their expressions. They clearly saw something inconceivable! There are profound secrets inside the nirvanic rebirth fire!��


    ��Is Master Ye really formidable to such a degree? Doesn��t that mean that he��s very likely to become another Great Beyond powerhouse after Ancestor Endless?��


    �� ��


    How proud were Zhou Xianchen three people?


    At this time, they were actually so humble in front of Ye Yuan.


    Furthermore, a scene that could make them so shocked must be impressive to the extreme.


    With this, it garnered everyone��s curiosity.


    Time slowly trickled by. The expressions on Zhou Xianchen three people��s faces became more and more fascinating.

 Chapter 3051 - 300 Origin Powerhouses!

    ��Go!��


    Ye Yuan gave a low cry. The 300 Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills flew toward those Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses.


    The nirvanic rebirth fire dissipated with a loud bang.


    ��Miracle! Truly a miracle! Master Ye��s alchemy technique really broadens this Zhou��s horizons!�� Zhou Xianchen had already been holding it in for too long. At this moment, he finally could not help but erupt.


    ��Controlling strength like thread, with great meticulousness, stable as a mountain, vast like the sea! Brother Ye��s refinement can really live up to the word ��master��! What��s laughable is that we are actually displaying our meager skills before an expert. Thinking about it now, I really perspire from embarrassment!�� Chu Fang gave Ye Yuan a respectful bow and said.


    ��Master Ye is a wise man who attained Dao! Jinnan is ashamed!�� Jinnan also said.


    These three people went from mocking, to shock, then to great admiration. This journey of the heart could be called ups and downs.


    But, having witnessed Ye Yuan��s methods, they were really convinced.


    Actually, before the three of them did this, the crowd had long already exploded.


    ��All 300 reached origin grade!��


    ��My God, the quality of these Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills are actually exactly the same!��


    ��Not only Master Ye completed it, but he also did it so perfectly! This move really created an insurmountable peak!��


    �� ��


    Even if they were a fool, they would also know how strong Ye Yuan was.


    Zhou Xianchen three people were not even fit to carry his shoes in front of him!


    Such a performance was not unexpected.


    But the current Ye Yuan had somewhat weak footsteps. Clearly, the consumption was too great.


    This refinement was not easy!


    Before breaking through to Emperor Sakra Heaven, this should be the pinnacle of his creation!


    ��All right. All take the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill!�� Ye Yuan waved his hand and said.


    Those 300 people had excited faces. Giving a bow toward Ye Yuan, they said in unison, ��Many thanks to Heavenly Saint Ye for bestowing the pill!��


    Finished saying, these people took the heavenly pill on the spot and broke through right away.


    Ye Yuan also fished out a black heavenly pill and directly swallowed it.


    When Zhou Xianchen three people saw the situation, their pupils could not help constricting.


    This was not the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill!


    Ye Yuan even split his attention to refine another heavenly pill with the 300 Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills?


    This �� was also a little too impressive, right?


    However, what heavenly pill was this black thing?


    It seemed like they had never seen it before!


    ��Master Ye, I wonder what��s the heavenly pill you took just now?�� Zhou Xianchen could not resist asking.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The name? I haven��t thought of it yet.��


    Zhou Xianchen was stunned, had not thought of it?


    In that case, this pill formula was just created by Ye Yuan?


    This �� Did he still want people to live?


    ��This pill formula was improvised by me and randomly done amidst the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pills. Didn��t expect that it actually succeeded,�� Ye Yuan said.


    Zhou Xianchen was speechless. Jinnan and Chu Fang were likewise so.


    This was also being said too casually!


    Boom!


    Before his voice faded, the chaos divine essence in Ye Yuan��s body exploded with a loud bang, his aura surging to the sky.


    Broke through!


    The facial muscles of Zhou Xianchen and the rest could not help but twitch.


    Randomly done and broke through?


    One heavenly pill, one minor realm!


    Reaching Emperor Vast Heaven Realm, this was already something impossible.


    Even if it was some formidable cultivation heavenly pills, it could merely save a thousand years of bitter cultivation too.


    But, wanting to break through, it was far from enough.


    However, Ye Yuan casually refined a heavenly pill and broke through?


    Zhou Xianchen let out a sigh and said, ��Master Ye has already gleaned the essence of Alchemy Dao. A simple movement or action is all Dao! Looks like he has already reached the threshold of doing as he pleases! Entering Hegemon with Alchemy Doa is merely a matter of time for him! In contrast, the few of us are seriously too shallow!��


    Jinnan nodded and said, ��The few of us are still clinging onto form, but Master Ye is already following his instinct. This is called disparity!��


    Right at this time, a commotion came from the crowd.


    A surge of origin power suddenly descended.


    Someone gained enlightenment!


    ��So fast! He just took the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill not long and already comprehended?��


    ��My God, the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill that Master Ye refined is also too magical, right?!��


    ��This isn��t increasing cultivation realm, but comprehending origin! Origin is a big hurdle for everyone. I didn��t expect that that guy comprehended so quickly!��


    ��Hurry up and look! It��s another power of origin! That person comprehended too!��


    �� ��


    Among the 300 people who swallowed the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill, there were already people who gained enlightenment on Dao and stepped into origin realm!


    Furthermore, the numbers were still continuously increasing.


    One origin power after another descended. This stretch of wilderness instantly became lively.


    Even Kong Tan and Wang Ningyan, this kind of geniuses, were also extremely envious as they watched.


    ��Is this heavenly pill really so magical? These guys�� aptitudes are just like that. However, they actually all seem to have had an epiphany, comprehending origin!�� Kong Tan was somewhat sour as he said.


    ��According to this kind of breakthrough method, if there are sufficient heavenly medicines, then wouldn��t Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven be able to create origin powerhouses unceasingly?�� Yu Yan also said with a melancholic look.


    She suddenly remembered what Yang Qing scolded her. She was indeed blind!


    It turned out that the leader on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s side was simply Ye Yuan, and not Yang Qing!


    Wang Ningyan said, ��I think I understand something! Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s sudden emergence this time is most likely because of Ye Yuan! He actually brought 1.2 million people up the Vertical Heaven Stairs, and he brought more than 50 thousand people from the Thousand Souls Hall �� How is this possible! This �� How is this possible?��


    Kong Tan and the others were all shocked when they heard that, only then coming back to their senses.


    A total of 1.2 million people, that was an absolutely terrifying number.


    Bringing 50 thousand people over from the Thousand Souls Hall was even more horrifying than the 1.2 million people previously!


    It sounded somewhat fantastical.


    But one could understand from those 50 thousand people��s respectful attitudes that all these had nothing to do with Yang Qing. It was all due to Ye Yuan.


    Except, regarding how on earth Ye Yuan did it, they could not figure it out after racking their brains too.


    Very soon, Ye Yuan transcended the Dao tribulation and reached middle Emperor Vast Heaven.


    When he cultivated now, ordinary heaven and earth spiritual energy could no longer satisfy him.


    The efficiency of converting to chaos divine essence was far too low.


    Luckily, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s heavenly medicines were really complete. He only came up with this pill formula after expending considerable effort in those three months.


    In a blink of an eye, it was another month.


    A series of exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.


    ��The 300th! A-All broke through! This �� How is this possible?��


    ��The Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill that Master Ye refines is actually able to 100% breakthrough to origin realm! This is too amazing!��


    ��Holy hell! Your Father��s intestines are green with regret! If I��d long known, I��d have found Master Ye to refine, and I��d also be an origin powerhouse now! ARGH!!��


    �� ��


    When the 300th power of origin descended, the whole place seethed with excitement.


    The Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill was not a divine medicine. Even if it had the effect of mind clarity, it depended on lucky chance too.


    Origin this step was far too difficult!


    Many people, even some geniuses, might not be able to break through to origin realm after consuming the Hundred Fate Heavenly Aperture Pill too.


    But those people who consumed Ye Yuan��s heavenly pills all broke through!


    A total of 300 origin powerhouses, this was definitely an astonishing force.


    The quality of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s martial artist army upgraded by several grades all at once!


    Such terrifying alchemy path strength made all the geniuses present give sidelong glances!

 Chapter 3052 - Heaven!

    ��Humph, boring! Let��s go!�� Kong Tan gave a cold snort and brought the fiend race and continued forward.


    The feather race and other races also left one after another.


    Of course, it was not really boring. Otherwise, they would not have wasted the lesser part of half a year here too.


    It was just somewhat sour.


    The entire Labyrinth Divine Palace was an independent space.


    These heavenly medicines were just in the outermost periphery.


    In the distance, the palace towered into the clouds.


    Wang Ningyan and the rest left with them. Zhou Xianchen they all could not stay anymore too and bade farewell to Ye Yuan, ��Master Ye, we��re going first!��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Be careful.��


    From the same place, several major forces all advanced and withdrew together.


    They were very clear that they had to band up together here. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous.


    Only all the way until everyone was done breaking through did Ye Yuan bring Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s group to continue forward.


    ��Ye Yuan, we have to hurry; otherwise, the benefits will all be taken away by those guys!�� Seeing that Ye Yuan was taking his time, Yang Qing said somewhat anxiously.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��There are many good things here, but it��s not easy to take them away.��


    Yang Qing��s gaze turned intent, and he said, ��Mn? What do you mean?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Continuing forward, those old monsters probably wouldn��t be able to hold back one by one, right?��


    Yang Qing��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��You��re saying that there are Hegemon Realms among them?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Furthermore, there��s quite a few! Otherwise, do you think that I��d have let Kong Tan off easily?��


    Yang Qing said in surprise, ��This is impossible! Can��t Hegemon Heavenless tell?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��That sly old fox is probably happy to see it happen, right? He tossed out the Labyrinth Divine Palace, this major killing move. How can it possibly be just to attract us, these small fries? You wouldn��t think that he��s really finding some successor, right?��


    Yang Qing nodded his head blankly and said, ��Yeah, I really thought so! Sigh, looks like I was still too naive! He��s a sly old fox; you��re a little fox!��


    As they walked, everyone entered a huge garden.


    In this place, there were pavilions and terraces, jagged rocks of grotesque shapes, birds tweeting and the flowers fragrant, like an enormous imperial garden.


    Everything was quiet and serene.


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd!


    Someone cried out in surprise, ��Hurry up and look! That��s �� a chaos heavenly treasure!��


    The crowd immediately boiled over with excitement!


    ��Chaos heavenly treasure! It��s actually a chaos heavenly treasure! I��m rich now!��


    ��That��s mine! Nobody is allowed to snatch!��


    ��This place is indeed a treasure trove! Haha, maybe I can break through to Hegemon Realm in one stroke!��


    �� ��


    Everyone looked over. It was only to see a small and exquisite bell lying quietly in the grass not far away.


    The bell was very exquisite, emitting waves of terrifying aura.


    That was the aura of a chaos heavenly treasure!


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed, and he immediately shouted, ��Stop!��


    However, it was already too late!


    Although Ye Yuan had supreme prestige among them, riches always moved people��s hearts.


    In front of a chaos heavenly treasure, there were always some people who were not calm.


    Hundreds of figures pounced toward that bell as if they were crazy.


    But, just as they were about to touch the bell, their bodies turned into countless fine powder, dissipating into the wind.


    It was as if they had never appeared before.


    There were even several origin realm powerhouses among them!


    The complexions of the others turned deathly pale.


    They did not even know where the attack came from!


    This kind of unknown fear made people break out in goosebumps.


    ��H-Heavenly Saint Ye, what��s going on?�� When at a loss, someone finally thought of Ye Yuan.


    Very strange, Ye Yuan��s strength was almost at the bottom among them.


    But at this time, everyone unwittingly wanted to rely on Ye Yuan.


    Fortunately, the vast majority of people respected Ye Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.


    He did not speak. These people all did not move.


    It was also precisely because of this that they survived.


    Otherwise, it would probably have been far more than a few hundred people dead.


    Just now, Ye Yuan discovered the anomaly right away and gave a warning.


    Many people were originally itching for action, but in the end, they still forcefully held back.


    At this time, these people were rejoicing greatly.


    Listening to Heavenly Saint Ye��s words was correct!


    Ye Yuan did not speak. His brows knitted tightly.


    Suddenly, his figure moved, flying toward that bell.


    But, just as his hand was about to touch the bell, the bell vanished right before his eyes strangely just like that.


    When everyone saw this scene, each and every one of their eyeballs popped out.


    Why was Ye Yuan fine?


    Why did the bell disappear?


    This imperial garden was overflowing with oddities everywhere!


    Ye Yuan did not move. He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the surrounding changes.


    Each gust of wind, every trace of heaven and earth spiritual energy.


    Those 50 thousand people were silent, watching Ye Yuan quietly, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    After a long time, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. Everyone��s hearts tensed up, and they were even more afraid to breathe.


    ��I think we should have fallen into a grand array!�� Ye Yuan uttered shocking words.


    ��Grand array! How is this possible? We �� can��t feel any Formation Dao undulations at all!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye, is there a mistake? I��m a rank nine heavenly formation master too, but I didn��t detect that there��s a grand array in the slightest!��


    ��If this is a grand array, with so many of us barged inside, wouldn��t we have long died out?��


    �� ��


    On a rare occasion, they questioned Ye Yuan.


    It was true that they could not feel the traces of a grand array at all.


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��I heard that the Labyrinth Divine Palace had a formation path grandmaster called Hegemon Sevenway. He reached Great Beyond Realm with Formation Dao, his methods being exceedingly formidable! In the Labyrinth Divine Palace battle, when he was seriously wounded, he actually sacrificed himself and refined himself into an unprecedented grand array! This grand array only had one word: ��Heaven��! He relied on Heaven and exterminated 57 Hegemon Realm powerhouses! Among them, there was even a Great Beyond Realm mighty expert! Presumably, we should have gotten caught in Heaven!��


    Everyone drew a breath of cold air from listening.


    Exterminating 57 Hegemons with his power alone!


    What kind of terrifying divine ability was this!


    One had to know that the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven only had 60 over Hegemon Realms.


    This Hegemon Sevenway could annihilate Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven with his power alone!


    This kind of strength was too terrifying!


    How profound was Ye Yuan��s insight in Formation Dao?


    But he only detected something amiss in the instant that the bell appeared.


    Before this, he was completely clueless!


    This grand array was too terrifying!


    ��The entire Labyrinth Divine Palace is an enormous space. And here, it can be said to be a world within a world! This grand array is superimposed with the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s space, so we didn��t notice it at all. We fell into the grand array! But this grand array is very complicated. It can be said to have already reached the extreme of Formation Dao! The spacetime here is arranged according to Hegemon Sevenway��s will; incomparably complicated.��


    ��Just now, they triggered the death door, so they were wiped out by the grand array! But, when I went, the death door shifted positions again, so I��m fine. That bell looks like it��s placed on the grass, but actually, it��s simply in another space. Its function is to lure us to step into the death gate! Furthermore, this grand array is different from other grand arrays. It �� is alive!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.

 Chapter 3053 - Hegemons Appear!

    Ye Yuan��s words made everyone��s hair stand on end.


    A living grand array!


    A living grand array left behind by a Great Beyond powerhouse!


    ��This �� Heavenly Saint Ye, then what should we do?�� Someone panicked.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Take things one step at a time then! Everyone, remember; if there are any more of such treasures, make sure not to act rashly without careful consideration. If you see anything strange, don��t let your curiosity cause trouble!��


    Everyone was fearful, nodding their heads one by one as they answered yes.


    Compared to treasures, it was naturally life that was more important.


    The party continued moving forward. Sure enough, many treasures appeared along the way again.


    Some treasures could even help them step into Hegemon Realm.


    But, no one dared to move anymore.


    As for Ye Yuan, he ignored those treasures without exception.


    His thoughts were fully on this grand array.


    To him, no treasure was as important as this grand array.


    Moreover, wanting to leave this grand array, one had to understand it first!


    Several days later, they finally bumped into other teams. It was Kong Tan and Yu Ran��s party.


    These two teams had roughly over 3000 people. Now, less than half were remaining!


    Clearly, they sustained rather heavy casualties for the sake of treasures.


    Seeing Ye Yuan this group of people, Kong Tan and Yu Ran��s pupils could not help constricting.


    ��This group of people actually did not suffer much loss!�� Kong Tan said in a sour tone.


    Yu Ran said, ��How is this possible? Could it be that none of them took the treasures?��


    Kong Tan frowned and said, ��I don��t believe that someone can be completely unmoved when facing these treasures!��


    When Yang Qing saw Kong Tan��s expression, he laughed loudly and said, ��Boy, you can��t make the cut! It��s just been a few days, and half of the people around you have died! Hey, are you all idiots? You��re still following him?��


    Kong Tan��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Yang Qing, you��re courting death!��


    Yang Qing smiled and said, ��Come on, is your Grandpa Yang scared of you? Is the fiend race very remarkable?��


    Kong Tan��s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, ��Yang Qing, don��t be smug! After getting out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace, I��ll definitely request Ancestor to act, and make a trip to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Yang Qing laughed loudly and said, ��Then you��ll have to be able to get out of the Labyrinth Divine Palace first too!��


    Kong Tan nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.


    Going on this trip into the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he had mustered everything up, preparing to make an all-out effort.


    Suppressing geniuses from all heavens, seizing this position of inheritance.


    But, who knew that from the Vertical Heaven Stairs until now, he was suppressed by people all the way. He really felt oppressed to the extreme.


    Suddenly, waves of terrifying auras came out of the nearby forest.


    The powerful light pricked until people could not open their eyes.


    Kong Tan revealed a look of wild elation. A precious treasure came into being!


    Only to see a fire-red long spear hanging on the treetop.


    A sword was hanging on another tree.


    Also, the bell that Ye Yuan they all saw previously was on the ground.


    Three chaos heavenly treasures!


    A thousand feet away, a stalk of spirit grass was growing on the ground, emitting a shocking undulation.


    When Ye Yuan saw it, his pupils constricted too!


    Chaos grade heavenly medicine!


    As the name implied, this was a heavenly medicine that only Hegemon Realms could take!


    This kind of heavenly medicine, even if it was a single stalk, it was a priceless treasure too!


    When origin realm powerhouses consumed it, they might be able to break through the fetters in one stroke, reaching the realm of Hegemon!


    Apart from these, several items were even scattered in the grass.


    With this, even those people behind Ye Yuan could not help but be moved too.


    This was intruding upon a group of treasures!


    Any one of these things was an existence that drove people crazy.


    ��Snatch!�� Kong Tan yelled, his figure sweeping past swiftly.


    Beside him, the feather race and fiend race powerhouses made a move one after another too.


    Even if so many people died, they did not care in the slightest too.


    When were there no deaths when snatching treasures?


    But, on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven this side, not a single person moved.


    Kong Tan and Yu Ran were extremely surprised. They were all on alert against Ye Yuan and his group. In the end, none of them moved.


    Puu, puu, puu!


    Not far away from Kong Tan, more than ten fiends instantly exploded, deader than dead.


    But no one hesitated.


    Yu Ran��s movement technique was extremely fast and was actually in front of Kong Tan.


    In a blink of an eye, she was going to touch that red long spear!


    The undulation emitting from this long spear was extremely strong. It already faintly reached the power of a middle grade chaos heavenly treasure.


    Clearly, this was the most important one out of these treasures!


    Kong Tan��s pupils constricted and he cried angrily, ��Yu Ran, you dare!��


    Yu Ran laughed charmingly and said, ��Hehehe, treasures of heaven and earth are obtained by those who are fated. Why would I not dare?��


    No one could remain composed in front of benefits.


    Yu Ran this kind of peerless fairy maiden was the same too.


    But right at this time, a large group of people dashed out of the dense woods again. It was shockingly the likes of Wang Ningyan and Qin Baichuan.


    Precious treasures coming into being, all parties gathered together once again!


    It looked like Yu Ran was about to score the long spear.


    In the fiend race, a fiend figure suddenly erupted, shouting coldly, ��Stinking lass, the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear isn��t what you can encroach upon!��


    This sudden change made everyone dumbstruck with shock.


    Hegemon Realm!


    A Hegemon Realm actually appeared among the fiends!


    ��Humph! Kong Hai, with your paltry skills, you also want to get the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear?�� Before his voice faded, a powerful aura also erupted from the feather race.


    Another Hegemon Realm!


    ��What a joke! Such a precious treasure, when is it your turn?��


    ��Hahaha, Kong Hai, Yu Xian, just the likes of you probably can��t get the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear!��


    ��Get lost! Otherwise, I��ll kill you all right now!��


    �� ��


    On humanity��s side, the auras of five Hegemon Realms erupted at the same time.


    Five people appeared all at once!


    Wang Ningyan, Qin Baichuan, and the rest were all stunned.


    They were completely kept in the dark previously!


    Seven Hegemon Realms appeared in an instant. How could they not be surprised?


    Originally thought that this was a battle of inheritance.


    Who knew that there would be Hegemon Realms involved?


    Did Hegemon Realms�� still need Hegemon Heavenless�� inheritance?


    Seven great Hegemons instantly gathered together from seven different directions.


    But very soon, the seven people��s expressions suddenly changed.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The sound of seven explosions echoed out. The seven great Hegemons were directly blasted away, flying out.


    Clearly, they had triggered the array formation again just now!


    However, Hegemon Realms were Hegemon Realms. They were clearly not so easy to be killed.


    The seven people got up from the ground, expressions all very unfriendly.


    ��Martial Aunt Yun Xiang, why are you here?�� Wang Ningyan said in pleasant surprise.


    With a Hegemon Realm around, she suddenly felt a lot more confident.


    Among humanity��s three great Hegemons, there was one that was the Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion��s female Hegemon, Hegemon Yun Xiang.


    Hegemon Yun Xiang had a dark look as she said, ��Do you really think that Heavenless that old ghost will give you guys the inheritance? You brats are too naive!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s faces changed drastically.


    Wang Ningyan said in surprise, ��Martial Aunt Yun Xiang, what do you mean?��


    Hegemon Yun Xiang said, ��Old Man Heavenless��s methods are exceedingly formidable. Back then, when all the heavens joined forces, it did not even kill him completely! This kind of wildly ambitious person, do you think that he��ll give you all the inheritance? This Labyrinth Divine Palace is merely a scheme; that��s all!��


    Wang Ningyan said in surprise, ��Then why did Ancestor still let us come?��


    Yun Xiang said, ��The Labyrinth Divine Palace has once gathered treasures from all heavens! This is a huge lucky chance!��

 Chapter 3054 - Willing to Die!

    ��Yun Xiang, stop talking rubbish! Better think of how to get the treasures!�� Next to her, an old man roared.


    This old man was Melody Nether Heavenly Sect��s Hegemon Realm, Zhang Hexin.


    These hidden Hegemon Realms all did not make a move previously. Actually, they were fearful of Heavenless.


    But, these treasures in front of them were seriously too tempting. They still could not resist revealing their identities.


    Yun Xiang��s gaze flickered, and she said, ��The few of us change positions and try again!��


    The other few people had solemn faces, nodding one after another.


    Clearly, they approved of this plan.


    The seven great Hegemons each adjusted their position.


    Zhang Hexin said in a solemn voice, ��Go!��


    Seven figures flashed indeterminately, akin to wandering dragons; incomparably breathtaking.


    However, they did not look cool for longer than three seconds.


    It was only to hear the sound of explosions again. Those seven people were blasted flying out once more.


    Being bombarded twice, the seven people all sustained considerable internal injuries.


    In front of so many junior disciples, these big shots felt a loss of face.


    However, with treasures in front, the Hegemons were naturally not willing to give up easily.


    After resting, they attempted it five to six times in a row.


    But each time, it ended badly.


    ��Heavenless this old man is really toying with us like monkeys! So many treasures, we can look but can��t eat!�� Zhang Hexin said exasperatedly.


    Kong Hai said with a cold smile, ��Moron, weren��t you very smug just now?��


    Zhang Hexin immediately retorted, ��Your Father suffered a loss. Can it be that you can get it?��


    The group of Hegemons seemed like eggplants hit by frost, wrinkled and mushy. The imposing momentum from before was all gone, making people find it funny.


    Far away, Ye Yuan had been paying attention to these Hegemon Realms all along, revealing an expression of deep thought.


    Over so many years, he had been studying this Heaven formation.


    He discovered that this grand array was truly incomparably miraculous.


    Those Hegemon Realms did not even know that they had gotten caught in the grand array.


    But felt that Heavenless was creating difficulties to stop them and toy with them.


    No wonder it could kill dozens of Hegemon Realm powerhouses back then!


    Actually, Ye Yuan himself also could not tell what flaws this Heaven formation had.


    Situated inside it, everything was perfectly natural.


    If not for Mi Tian having told him before about some stories of the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he himself could not have seen through at all too.


    But now, after the continuous probing of those Hegemon Realms, Ye Yuan finally saw through some clues.


    This grand array was like the highest quality of art, without the slightest flaw.


    It was like an incomparably precise machine, operating according to its own rules.


    It could randomly change positions and produce attacks based on the Hegemons�� attacks.


    But very clearly, the current Heaven formation did not activate killing formation mode. Otherwise, none of them could think about escaping.


    Ye Yuan believed that this had something to do with Heavenless.


    Heavenless did not kill people and also showed these treasures. What on earth was it for?


    His goal was really hard to guess!


    ��Kid, come over!�� Ye Yuan, who was currently contemplating, was interrupted.


    Ye Yuan was stupefied, not knowing why Zhang Hexin suddenly became interested in him.


    Meanwhile, the other Hegemons had gloating looks.


    Zhang Hexin was currently frustrated with nowhere to vent. He naturally had to find an outlet to vent out.


    Ye Yuan was the best candidate!


    As humanity��s three supreme heavens, these Hegemon Realms were naturally unwilling to see Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven rise up.


    However, regardless of whether it was Yang Qing or Ye Yuan, their potential was tremendous.


    On this trip, Ye Yuan even brought out hundreds of origin powerhouses.


    These 50 thousand people in front of him all had huge potential.


    Without a doubt, Zhang Hexin was apprehensive!


    Of course, it was not just him. Humanity��s five Hegemons were all apprehensive!


    Ye Yuan got up, and the faces of Yang Qing and the rest changed, hurriedly stopping him.


    ��You can��t go over! I��ll go!�� Yang Qing said in a deep voice.


    ��Don��t need to be so sentimental. You come too!�� Zhang Hexin directly said.


    With this, everyone was no longer calm.


    ��I��ll go!��


    ��I��ll go too!��


    �� ��


    Zhang Hexin clearly wanted to harm Ye Yuan. So how could they possibly watch Ye Yuan deliver himself to death without any emotion?


    Even if he wanted to die, it was not Heavenly Saint Ye��s turn too!


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��No rush, see what he has to say first.��


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing, two people, came before Zhang Hexin. The latter snickered and said, ��Kid, along the way, you were very capable!��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��It��s not that I��m capable. It��s that you all are too weak. Humanity��s three supreme heavens sound very domineering. But weren��t you still suppressed by the fiend race and feather race, these major races? If not for Yang Qing, humanity��s face would have long been utterly lost by you all!��


    The other party was obviously looking for trouble. Ye Yuan naturally would not be polite.


    As for Wang Ningyan, Lu Haoran, and the rest, their faces turned bright red.


    These words slapped the face resoundingly.


    But they could not deny it because this was an undeniable fact.


    Actually, Ye Yuan already faintly guessed what Zhang Hexin wanted him to do.


    It was nothing more than seeing that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had a lot of people, to let these people be cannon fodders and search for the restriction��s flaws.


    ��Courting death!�� Sure enough, Zhang Hexin��s face turned black/ The overwhelming aura of a Hegemon Realm suddenly erupted. A palm smashed down toward Ye Yuan.


    Everyone��s expressions changed wildly, crying out in alarm.


    Feng Qingxuan��s pretty face turned deathly pale, pouncing over madly, wanting to block this palm on Ye Yuan��s behalf.


    But very clearly, she was too slow.


    However, Ye Yuan��s expression did not change, and his heart did not race. He just stood where he was, unmoving like a mountain.


    ��What courage!�� Even if it was one of the human Hegemons, he could not help but praise too.


    Boom!


    A gust of palm wind howled past. Ye Yuan felt like his four limbs were going to fall apart.


    The palm of a Hegemon Realm was too strong!


    However, this palm forcefully stopped an inch in front of him.


    Seeing that Ye Yuan was not frightened, Zhang Hexin was somewhat disappointed.


    ��Humph! Killing you like this is letting you off too cheaply! Boy, give you a chance. Go and blaze a trail yourself, or make those people find a path. As long as you can get the treasures, this seat can spare your life!�� Zhang Hexin said with a strange laugh.


    ��Zhang Hexin, if you dare touch a hair of Ye Yuan��s, it��s sowing an irreconcilable enmity with my Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven!�� Feng Qingxuan shouted fiercely.


    Zhang Hexin chuckled and said, ��Fire phoenix lass, are you scaring this seat? Your Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven is strong, but my humanity��s three heavens aren��t weak either! If we really fight, it��s hard to say who��ll win! At present, your Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven has suffered heavy casualties. My humanity��s three heavens really aren��t scared!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s expression changed, suddenly feeling powerless.


    Hegemon Realms were not so easy to scare.


    They all had very powerful factions behind them!


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye, I��ll go!��


    ��I��m willing to go too!��


    ��I won��t hesitate to lay down my life for Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    �� ��


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses actually all came forward on their own accord, requesting to scout a path.


    Zhang Hexin could not help being stunned when he saw the situation. He did not expect that this boy actually had such great rallying power.


    With this move, he wanted to drive a wedge between Ye Yuan and those people.


    He felt that Ye Yuan would not go and scout a path himself and would only let those people go and die.


    This way, the others would definitely bear a grudge against Ye Yuan.


    But he did not expect that these people were actually willing to go and die for Ye Yuan!


    Previously, when these people protected Ye Yuan, it was not to the extent of a life-and-death parting.


    Furthermore, they needed help from Ye Yuan.


    Zhang Hexin felt that this kind of relationship based on benefits was the most fragile.


    He had used this move many times in his life. It proved to be effective every time.


    But this time, he failed!

 Chapter 3055 - Storming Formation!

    ��All go back. I��ll go by myself,�� Ye Yuan said to everyone calmly.


    ��No way! Heavenly Saint Ye is our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s hope. How can you risk your life?��


    ��My wretched life is not worth mentioning. If I die, I die!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye, let me go!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan wanted to go himself, but everyone did not let him.


    Those Hegemon Realms were all dumbfounded.


    Only in life and death could one see human nature clearly.


    These people��s words were clearly not fake.


    They would never have thought that Ye Yuan actually had such great prestige among these people!


    One had to know, even if you were a genius, making me go and die for you, this would be impossible too.


    At least, no one here could do it!


    But these 50 thousand over people were actually scrambling over each other to go and die for Ye Yuan. They could not help being visibly moved.


    ��All shut up for me!�� Ye Yuan said in a deep voice.


    Everyone immediately shut up. Only then did he slowly say, ��Who told you that I��m going to send myself to die?��


    Everyone immediately calmed down, looks of wild ecstasy showing on their faces.


    Could it be that this Great Beyond grand array was actually cracked by Ye Yuan?


    Then �� that would be amazing!


    But, when the Hegemons heard that, they laughed heartily.


    Clearly, they all thought otherwise.


    Something that even they all, these Hegemon Realms, could not do, could a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven do it?


    No matter how amazing you were, you were also just Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Ye Yuan did not get started right away, but he looked toward Zhang Hexin instead and said coolly, ��I can help you all take the treasures out. But there are two things that I want!��


    The moment Zhang Hexin heard those words, he smiled. ��I didn��t hear wrongly, right? You��re bargaining with me? Do you really think that you can make it out alive?��


    Yun Xiang smiled and said, ��Boy, even us Hegemon Realms are at a loss on what to do about this restriction. Just the likes of you, you can make it out alive?��


    Ye Yuan just smiled and turned around and left.


    Saying any more was pointless, he walked straight towards the forest where the treasures were.


    Kong Tan could not help laughing as he said, ��This boy has always liked to posture a lot. But this time, he has reached the end of posturing.��


    Kong Hai said disapprovingly, ��A youngster that doesn��t know how to be restrained, it serves him right to die too!��


    Yu Ran smiled and said, ��He also didn��t expect that there would be so many Hegemon Realms appearing! However, watching such an alchemy master disappear, I��m quite excited!��


    Amidst the mocking, Ye Yuan walked toward the restriction.


    Well, the restriction was just what Zhang Hexin they all thought. Actually, this place was just one part of the Heaven formation.


    Completely comprehending Heaven formation was naturally impossible.


    But fortunately, with the help of Zhang Hexin and the rest, it already let him have a preliminary understanding of things.


    In reality, along the way, he had been observing the patterns of these treasures appearing and disappearing the whole time.


    As long as it was an array formation, no matter how seamless and flawless the array formation, it operated according to some rules too.


    Just like this world, it was also operating with various origins and power of rules.


    When he got close to the restriction, Ye Yuan suddenly stopped and started musing.


    When Zhang Hexin saw the situation, he could not resist laughing as he said, ��Hahaha, this boy also is scared of death after all!��


    Another Hegemon mocked: ��A person, who isn��t scared to die? However, isn��t it a little late to only wake up at this time?��


    ��This boy is very cocky. Looking at him pissing his pants in fear is very interesting!��


    Ye Yuan was naturally not scared until he peed in fear. He was just observing.


    A blade of grass, a tree, a flower, a leaf.


    Even a speck of dust, a wisp of spiritual energy, it was all in this Heaven formation.


    A grand array that even Hegemon Realms could not see through; it could be imagined how terrifying it was!


    Seeing Ye Yuan not moving from start to end, Zhang Hexin clearly somewhat lost his patience and said in a cold voice, ��If you��re still not going in, I��ll make others go in!��


    Ye Yuan still did not move, turning a deaf ear to Zhang Hexin��s words.


    Zhang Hexin gave a cold snort and said, ��Cravenly clinging to life and afraid of death! Boy, since he doesn��t dare, it��s your turn!��


    This was said to Yang Qing.


    Yang Qing glanced at him and said crossly, ��Idiot! What the hell do you know! He��s cracking the formation! Cravenly clinging to life and afraid of death, hur hur, that guy��s dictionary doesn��t have these words! Idiot!��


    Saying idiot twice in a row, it could be seen how much Yang Qing looked down on Zhang Hexin.


    Zhang Hexin was furious and was about to make a move against Yang Qing.


    Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved.


    It was only to see his body turned, taking five steps to the east.


    Then he took a step forward and stepped into the range of the restriction.


    A hint of a smile already flashed across the corners of Zhang Hexin��s mouth.


    He was waiting for the restriction to activate and smash Ye Yuan to powder.


    But very soon, he could not smile anymore.


    The restriction had no activities!


    With this, the whole place was in an uproar!


    ��This is impossible! Why didn��t the restriction react?��


    ��Are you kidding me? A restriction that even Hegemon Realms couldn��t crack, he, an Emperor Vast Heaven, can crack it?��


    ��Must have hit the jackpot! Right, it must be good luck!��


    �� ��


    Coming all this way, the various factions suffered heavy losses.


    However, there were also lucky ones that could obtain one or two less powerful treasures.


    But those were done by piling on lives.


    They discovered that the more powerful the treasure, the more formidable the restriction.


    But Ye Yuan��s luck was also too good, right?


    Everyone chalked this step from Ye Yuan up to luck.


    Ye Yuan could not hear the outside world��s exclamations at all. He was already fully immersed in his own world.


    Or should one say, inside the heaven formation.


    He did not immediately take the next step and stood still again.


    He was analyzing the restriction!


    This time, Zhang Hexin did not rush him anymore.


    The seven great Hegemons all did not urge.


    Because Ye Yuan really made the first step!


    Compared to finishing Ye Yuan off, they naturally hope to get the treasures inside the restriction even more!


    The treasures inside were too moving.


    Otherwise, they would not have easily shown themselves too.


    Of course, after acquiring the treasures, then finishing Ye Yuan off, that would be perfect.


    Zhang Hexin planned like this in his heart.


    An hour later, Ye Yuan took the second step.


    Then he disappeared!


    Everyone was stunned. Where did he go?


    ��This guy wouldn��t have run away, right?�� Zhang Hexin said with a frown.


    But Hegemon Yun Xiang��s eyes lit up, and she shook her head and said, ��No! This restriction is connected to spacetime. He was sent into another space! Interesting, this boy actually really figured out the way!��


    The Hegemons trembled all over, looking at Hegemon Yun Xiang with incomparable shock.


    Hegemon Yun Xiang was the authority on this.


    This was because she had another identity; she was a Hegemon level heavenly formation master!


    This was also why the offensive acts previously were all directed by her.


    But very clearly, she failed.


    ��Yun Xiang, you aren��t joking, right? An Emperor Vast Heaven brat actually cracked the restriction that Old Man Heavenless laid down?�� Another human Hegemon said in shock.


    Hegemon Yun Xiang shook his head and said, ��How can it be that easy? He just took two steps. The further in, the more difficult it gets! However, being inspired by him, this seat seems to have also seen through something.��


    Zhang Hexin said with a look of surprise, ��Doesn��t that mean that this boy is more formidable than you?��


    Hegemon Yun Xiang��s face turned black, a surge of killing intent rising.


    Zhang Hexin��s expression changed, wishing to give himself two tight slaps.


    Really rubbing people��s noses in it!

 Chapter 3056 - Negotiation!

    ��Out! Coming out!��


    Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.


    After a time interval of one day, Ye Yuan��s figure directly stepped out of the void and returned to everyone��s line of sight again.


    This time, Ye Yuan was much closer to those treasures.


    ��This guy actually really didn��t die!��


    ��Why? A restriction that even Hegemon Realms can��t do anything about; why can he?��


    ��Unparalleled in Alchemy Dao, crushing his peers! And now, his Formation Dao can actually crush Hegemon Realms?��


    �� ��


    The competition among peers was indeed shocking, but it was far from the shock of the present.


    After all, Hegemon Realm powerhouses were paramount existences.


    Many people knew that Hegemon Yun Xiang was a Hegemon level heavenly formation master!


    Did that mean that Ye Yuan, this grade eight heavenly formation master, already crushed Hegemon Yun Xiang?


    Yun Xiang felt somewhat at a loss of face.


    Actually, she was conflicted.


    Regarding treasures, she naturally coveted it.


    But, if Ye Yuan could really take treasures, her face would be lost.


    Mn, killing him might be the best option.


    But she said one thing right. It became harder and harder toward the back.


    The time that Ye Yuan stopped over for each step also got longer and longer.


    But at this time, no one rushed him anymore.


    Everyone was being patient, waiting for him to take the next step.


    This step, Ye Yuan spent an entire day.


    Then it was a day and a half, two days, three days.


    Seven days later, Ye Yuan disappeared again.


    Half a month later, when Ye Yuan appeared in front of everyone again, he was already standing in front of a treasure.


    Everyone��s breathing became nervous.


    This was a grade five grandmist treasure, an entirely black long saber.


    Ye Yuan leaned over to pick it up. No abnormality happened at all.


    ��Hiss �� He really did it! He actually really did it!�� Zhang Hexin exclaimed.


    They were thrashed by this restriction many times and thought that Old Man Heavenless was playing them.


    In the end, no!


    It was just that they were incompetent!


    ��Really inconceivable! This boy actually got the treasure from under Old Man Heavenless�� hands!�� Kong Hai said in shock.


    ��This boy is truly remarkable! Given enough time, he��ll absolutely be a terrifying existence! He might be able to reach Old Man Heavenless that height!�� Hegemon Yu Xian said with a light smile.


    When they heard that, the expressions of humanity��s Hegemons all changed.


    This was clearly said for them to hear.


    Another Heavenless appearing, this was not some good thing!


    Although they knew that Yu Xian had the intention of provoking them, the apprehension in their hearts grew thicker.


    Humanity��s three supreme heavens did not want to be ruled by a low-level plane.


    ��Heh, Sister Yu Xian, rather than sowing discord here, it��s better to discuss how to distribute the treasures,�� Zhang Hexin said with a cold smile.


    Yu Xian smiled slightly and said, ��That feather coat should have been left behind by my feather clan��s senior. It��s not overboard that we ask for it, right?��


    Kong Hai said, ��This seat is getting the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear!��


    Zhang Hexin sneered and said, ��Kong Tan, you haven��t seem to have figured out the situation yet! You can forget about the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear.��


    Kong Hai was indifferent and said with a chuckle, ��You guys wouldn��t really think that the fiend race only has this seat alone who came, right? My fiend race Hegemons has always acted independently. But do you really think that they will look on with folded arms?��


    Zhang Hexin��s face fell, and he said, ��Then are you sure that just five of us from the human race came? Enough crap, the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear, there��s no share for you!��


    �� ��


    Several mighty Hegemons started negotiations and were already dividing up the treasures.


    It was as if these treasures were already in their hands.


    To tell the truth, no matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, they did not take him seriously too.


    Martial strength was the final right to speak.


    The others were merely unorthodox paths.


    Three month later, Ye Yuan retrieved all of the treasures.


    All the Hegemon Realms had looks of excitement.


    In this restriction, there were three chaos heavenly treasures, seven grandmist treasures, and also a chaos heavenly medicine.


    Especially the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear, it was even of the highest grade among chaos heavenly treasures.


    Even to Hegemon Realm powerhouses, this was also a significant wealth.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan walked out of the restriction and was immediately surrounded by the seven great Hegemons. He could not run even if he wanted to.


    Zhang Hexin reached his hand out and said in a cold voice, ��Hand it over!��


    Initially, he only found Ye Yuan displeasing and wanted to toy him to death.


    But who knew that this kid actually really did it!


    Got to say, in addition to the shock, it was also an unexpected surprise.


    He naturally did not know that he had actually contributed his strength in it too.


    Ye Yuan was naturally reluctant to submit. He said coolly, ��Now, do we have the capital to negotiate?��


    Zhang Hexin laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� You, a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven, wants to negotiate with us, these Hegemon Realms? Don��t you find this joke very hilarious?��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Everyone started laughing.


    Ye Yuan��s current performance was indeed very ridiculous when it landed in everyone��s eyes.


    Undefeated in pill refinement, undefeated in Formation Dao, but you were not a Hegemon in the end!


    ��Kid, if I give you a few thousand years, you might have the qualifications to challenge the few of us. But right now, you��d better put away your pride,�� Hegemon Yun Xiang said with a snicker.


    Ye Yuan��s gaze landed on Yun Xiang��s face, and he said coolly, ��The ones who haven��t figured out the situation are you guys! You��re a Hegemon level heavenly formation master, right? I really feel ashamed for you. You are already at this realm, but you don��t even know where you are.��


    Yun Xiang��s two eyes narrowed, and she said, ��Boy, are you scaring us?��


    ��Scare you all? Hur hur, you guys called this as a restriction just now?�� Ye Yuan pointed at that dense forest and said.


    Yun Xiang��s brows furrowed slightly, and said, ��If it isn��t a restriction, what is it?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Since you��re Hegemon Realm, then you should know what the number one grand array in all the heavens is, right?��


    Yun Xiang could not help laughing as she said, ��Are you testing this seat? The number one grand array in all the heavens, is naturally the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s Heaven formation! You aren��t telling this seat that we��re in the ��Heaven�� formation now, right?��


    ��Otherwise, what do you think?�� Ye Yuan said.


    ��Haha, boy, after solving a restriction, do you really think that you can display your slight skill in front of this seat? Heaven formation is the number one killing formation since ancient times, its power boundless. Forget about you; even we all, these Hegemon Realms, will face certain death if we enter too. With just the likes of you, you don��t even have the qualifications to enter Heaven formation!�� Yun Xiang said disapprovingly.


    Honestly speaking, when they heard Ye Yuan say Heaven formation, the hearts of all the Hegemons tensed up too.


    After all, the Hegemons who fell inside Heaven formation were too many.


    But, hearing Yun Xiang say so, their hearts eased up again.


    ��Punk, this seat will say it one last time. Hand over the treasures!�� Zhang Hexin said in a cold voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and suddenly took a step.


    ��Courting death!�� Zhang Hexin��s expression turned cold and suddenly threw a punch over.


    Against the punch of a Hegemon Realm, an Emperor Vast Heaven would definitely die without a doubt.


    The expressions of Yang Qing and the rest changed wildly, but it was too late.


    Boom!


    This punch slammed into the air.


    Ye Yuan��s figure actually disappeared.


    Yun Xiang��s pupils constricted, and she cried out in alarm, ��How is this possible! This �� is already out of the restriction territory. How did he do it?��

 Chapter 3057 - Thats How Confident!

    Next to a pile of strange stones, Ye Yuan��s figure appeared.


    While everyone had a look of shock, looking at this scene in disbelief.


    Could it be that what Ye Yuan said was real?


    They had actually all fallen into the terrifying Heaven formation and were not aware?


    ��Want to kill you all or not, it��s merely a matter of a single thought from me. If I want to kill, you all would be long dead. If I don��t want to kill, it��s naturally because I don��t want to kill you guys yet,�� Ye Yuan looked at Zhang Hexin and the rest as he said coolly.


    Shock was written all over Zhang Hexin��s face.


    The six of their eyes all turned to Yun Xiang.


    ��Yun Xiang, what��s going on here?��


    ��This �� This might very likely be the Heaven formation!�� Among the seven people, the most shocked was naturally Yun Xiang.


    Zhang Hexin��s face fell, and he said, ��What��s called likely? Could it be that you, a Hegemon Realm, is actually inferior to him, an Emperor Vast Heaven?��


    Yun Xiang��s face turned black, and she said in a solemn voice, ��Likely means not certain. Are you stupid?��


    Zhang Hexin also realized that he had somewhat lost composure.


    Which Hegemon Realm did not want face? His words put Yun Xiang on the spot.


    ��Cough cough, Younger Sister Yun Xiang, don��t get agitated. Brother Zhang is also somewhat anxious. That��s why his words were not appropriate.�� At this time, another Hegemon Realm came forward to be a mediator.


    Yun Xiang snorted coldly. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.


    ��A grand array that even this seat can��t detect, apart from Heaven formation, I can��t think of a second one! Brat, could it be that you��ve already grasped Heaven formation?�� Yun Xiang looked at Ye Yuan and said with an unfriendly expression.


    In reality, Yun Xiang was extremely shocked in her heart.


    Not only did Ye Yuan see through it, he even acquired the treasures.


    While she, this Hegemon level heavenly formation master, actually did not even detect a trace. What a complete loss of face.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��How profound is Heaven formation? How can it be grasped so easily? I just saw everyone challenging the formation and felt some changes, and then I had some comprehension. That��s all. So, do I have the qualifications to negotiate the terms with you all now?��


    The seven Hegemons had black faces, all falling silent.


    Clearly, it was considered to be tacitly approving.


    But it was too hard for these words to come out of these Hegemon Realms�� mouths.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Among these treasures, I want three things, Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear, Huan Dragon Root, and this Myriad Magnetism Mountain!��


    Huan Dragon Root was that chaos heavenly medicine.


    Ye Yuan naturally had no use for this.


    But, to Cloudmount, this thing was a priceless treasure!


    His fading life force could only be restored using chaos heavenly medicines.


    But chaos heavenly medicines were extremely rare when looking across the 33 Heavens too.


    Ye Yuan did not expect to see it here!


    However, Cloudmount��s injuries were extremely serious. A Huan Dragon Root was far from enough.


    As for whether or not he could find others, he could only try his luck.


    The moment the words came out of his mouth, Zhang Hexin exploded.


    Among these treasures, the most precious were the Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear and Huan Dragon Root. Ye Yuan actually wanted them in one breath.


    Then would they, these Hegemons, become a joke?


    ��Haha, boy, you really dare to open your mouth! Do you think that we��ll agree?�� Zhang Hexin laughed from extreme rage.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior, I heard that back then, the fire spirit race��s Progenitor Flamebright had a great battle with Ancestor Sevenway. In the end, he brought numerous Hegemons and inflicted heavy wounds on Ancestor Sevenway. Ancestor Sevenway knew that it was impossible to escape his doom, so he derived the Heaven formation with his essence, energy, and spirit, cutting down the fire spirit race��s progenitor inside this formation. The fire spirit race also never recovered from this setback because of this. Progenitor, Progenitor Flamebright��s ��Sunchaser�� should still remain inside this formation, right?��


    The moment these words came out, the faces of the seven great Hegemons changed!


    Progenitor Flamebright was once a greatly renowned Great Beyond powerhouse.


    His lifeblood treasure Sunchaser had a great reputation in all the heavens.


    Sunchaser was a superior grade chaos heavenly treasure!


    These treasures were utterly worthless in front of ��Sunchaser��.


    Therefore, hearing that Sunchaser might have remained inside the Heaven formation, the seven great Hegemons were no longer calm.


    ��Boy, what do you mean?�� Zhang Hexin asked in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��What I mean is, dozens of Hegemons died here. The treasures are too many to enumerate! There are still many treasures later at the back. Rather than getting entangled here, it��s better to have a longer term perspective; we cooperate to retrieve treasures!��


    Zhang Hexin said disdainfully, ��A mere Emperor Vast Heaven, what right do you have to cooperate with us?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Based on that I can understand Heaven formation.��


    Zhang Hexin could not resist looking over at Yun Xiang. The latter sneered and said, ��Boy, you��re too self-confident! Since this seat knows that I��ve fallen into this formation, won��t I know to comprehend it myself? You wouldn��t think that I, this Hegemon level heavenly formation master, is someone who only knows how to eat and do nothing, right?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said indifferently, ��Sure, I��ll teach you everything that I learned. When we encounter treasures later, let��s have a fair competition, and see who comprehends it first. If I can��t match up to you, not only will I not take a single treasure, but I��ll also hand these three treasures over with both hands. What do you all think?��


    ��Is this for real?�� The seven great Hegemons virtually said in unison.


    This boy was too arrogant!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��If I really lose, it won��t be my turn to speak anymore, isn��t it?��


    The seven great Hegemons exchanged glances, all deeply feeling the same too.


    As long as Yun Xiang grasped the Heaven formation, what did it still have to do with Ye Yuan?


    What shocked them was that Ye Yuan was actually willing to share what he learned with Yun Xiang!


    This boy was also too self-confident, right?


    Being able to become a Hegemon level heavenly formation master, how could Yun Xiang��s comprehension ability be ordinary?


    Did this boy really think that he could crush a Hegemon?


    Ye Yuan naturally did not want to do so. But he needed to borrow these people��s strength to go and assault the Heaven formation.


    Otherwise, it would be very hard for him to understand Heaven formation on his own too!


    In the end, both sides reached an agreement.


    Everyone present was shocked.


    ��This boy is really drunk with confidence! He actually doesn��t even place Hegemon Realms in his eyes!��


    ��Hur hur, this is handing his life over to other people��s hands. This boy really has a unique train of thought!��


    ��Emperor Vast Heaven challenging a Hegemon, there��s a show to watch!��


    �� ��


    Amidst everyone��s shock, Ye Yuan started imparting Yun Xiang what he learned.


    Of course, what Ye Yuan comprehended was just some smattering of the Heaven formation.


    If you compared the Heaven formation to a skyscraper, then what Ye Yuan comprehended was at most a small kitchen inside the large building.


    It was insignificant in front of this tower.


    When Yun Xiang listened, the fascinating expression on her face was unceasing.


    What Ye Yuan comprehended opened a new door for her and let her know that it turned out Formation Dao could still be like this!


    But even so, Yun Xiang was still somewhat laboring to comprehend these.


    Only after spending several months�� time did she barely manage to understand it.


    Actually, she still had many areas in which she only had half-baked knowledge. But due to status, she did not ask Ye Yuan in detail.


    Too humiliating!


    She, a Hegemon Realm, would not admit to being inferior to an Emperor Vast Heaven.


    Yun Xiang believed that as long as she studied carefully later, she would be able to digest the content very quickly.


    Four months later, everyone set off again.


    Getting three treasures, Ye Yuan was also fully satisfied and content.


    The Scarlet Flame Heaven Howling Spear was prepared for Yang Qing.


    After he acquired this spear, it was even more like a tiger gaining wings.


    And the Myriad Magnetism Mountain was part of the Myriad Realms Mountain!

 Chapter 3058 - Coming Out on Top!

    ��Sure enough, Hegemon Chaos died here? Then can I find other Myriad Realms Mountains in this place?�� Ye Yuan pondered.


    Ye Yuan was still quite interested in the Myriad Realms Mountain.


    This chaos heavenly treasure was made by Hegemon Chaos by exhausting all his effort.


    Each one was a one-in-a-million treasure.


    Seven combining into one, the power was boundless!


    Furthermore, this treasure was undoubtedly the most suited for him.


    Since Hegemon Chaos�� cultivation method was wrong, then this treasure��s refinement method was naturally wrong too.


    Ye Yuan wondered if he could refine it with the Eternal River��s chaos, could the power be stronger?


    The two Myriad Realms Mountains that he obtained previously, Ye Yuan had already refined them anew in the Eternal River.


    The power of those two Myriad Realms Mountains, after combining together, had already reached the level of a grade three grandmist treasure.


    With this third one, there was no problem stepping into grade four at all.


    Before long, everyone discovered that seven to eight treasures appeared in a pile of quarry stones again!


    ��Is that �� Azure Spirit Chaos Element Sword?��


    ��And also Cloudwhisper! This is the lifeblood treasure of Hegemon Yu Yang back then, with immensely formidable power!��


    ��Good stuff! Really good stuff! Just the middle-grade chaos heavenly treasures, there are two of them! Yun Xiang, it��s up to you!��


    �� ��


    The Hegemon Realms were extremely excited. Although the treasures here were not as many as before, the quality was a level higher!


    Which of these people could remain calm when they saw it?


    Yun Xiang said confidently, ��Relax. This seat has been studying Formation Dao all my life. The array formations that I��ve seen before are more than the rice that this brat has eaten. Can I still lose to him?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Don��t boast too much. Be careful that you get face-slapped in a while.��


    Yun Xiang said disdainfully, ��With the likes of you? Boy, you��d better think about how you should deal with yourself after this seat comprehends Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and declined to comment.


    Yun Xiang said, ��The few of you old fellows work harder for this seat too! Otherwise, nobody can think about walking out of this grand array! Begin!��


    Zhang Hexin six great Hegemons took their positions. Under Yun Xiang��s word of command, the six people dashed out like lightning, pouncing straight for those treasures.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    An explosion sound came over again. The six people were blasted until they fell flat on their backs, looking extremely wretched.


    Putting it bluntly, they were just looking for abuse.


    To say that the power of this grand array section was great, it was not. But to say that it was small, it was not small either.


    The few people were blasted until they had bloody noses and swollen faces, and broken hands and hands. It was unavoidable.


    They were bound to make an exhibition of themselves.


    Why did they not let others go?


    Not reaching Hegemon Realm, going would be to seek death. Without being able to even touch the array formation, there would be no value at all.


    Hence, they could only greatly inconvenience these few old fellows.


    ��F*cking hell, Your Father has lived to this ripe old age. It��s still the first time that I��m being toyed by someone! Yun Xiang, if you lose to that boy, this seat will find trouble with you!�� A human Hegemon roared angrily.


    ��I know that there are definitely still old fellows who hid themselves. If you guys have the ability, don��t ever show your faces! Humph!��


    The six great Hegemons were very depressed too. But it could not be helped as well. Who asked them to jump out first?


    Each Hegemon had their own means. If they used their respective means to hide among tens of thousands of people, there would really be no way of discovering.


    But it was certain that there were definitely still quite a few hidden old fellows.


    Yun Xiang and Ye Yuan both stared at the grand array without shifting their gazes, feeling every movement and action of the grand array.


    The grand array was an organic entity. But without a doubt, the buried treasure places were the only explicit passageway of the grand array.


    Want to understand the Heaven formation, one could only start from here.


    At virtually the same time, Ye Yuan and Yun Xiang held a piece of rock in their hands and started drawing a formation diagram on the ground, and fell into deep thought.


    Clearly, this sub-formation was even harder and more complicated than the one before.


    Because previously, Ye Yuan did not draw a formation diagram.


    When everyone saw the situation, they crowded over one after another.


    ��You all look, Hegemon Yun Xiang and Ye Yuan both drew nine symbols. Each of these nine symbols represents an array element. Could it be that Heaven formation that��s known as the number one killing formation in the world, actually only has nine array elements? This �� is also too inconceivable!��


    Origin powerhouses who understood array formations started explaining the significance of these symbols to the others.


    When many people heard, they all exclaimed with admiration.


    There were many array formation schools of thought. There were naturally many kinds of array elements too.


    There were nine by nine, 81 types of the most basic array elements.


    And some high-level array elements were derived from these 81 types of array elements; complicated and elaborate, extremely hard to grasp.


    The more complicated the array elements used, and the more massive they were, naturally the stronger the power of the grand array.


    But no one could have thought that this most terrifying grand array in the legends was actually so simple!


    ��Eh, why did Ye Yuan stop?��


    ��Hegemon Yun Xiang��s pen is still moving like flying, looks like she��s actually leading Ye Yuan!��


    ��Like I said, how can a mere Emperor Vast Heaven possibly be stronger than a Hegemon Realm? Ye Yuan this boy has shot himself in the foot this time!��


    �� ��


    Suddenly, Yun Xiang stopped too and said to the six great Hegemons, ��You all go and storm again!��


    The six people��s faces turned black at the same time, almost spewing out a mouthful of old blood.


    This process was not that fun!


    However, seeing that Yun Xiang seemed to have the advantage, they could only clench their teeth and storm the formation once more.


    The result was self-evident.


    The six great Hegemons returned with bloody noses and swollen faces again.


    ��I��ll have to trouble seniors to go and rush it again.�� Who knew that when they just came back, Ye Yuan added on and instructed them.


    Zhang Hexin said in a great rage, ��Boy, are you messing with the few of us? Didn��t you see the attempt just now?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I saw it, but there are still some areas that I don��t understand. Therefore, I��ll have to trouble everyone!��


    ��Your Father isn��t going anymore!�� Zhang Hexin said in a great rage.


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said nonchalantly, ��That works too, but if Hegemon Yun Xiang fails, don��t look for me. At most, let��s die together here. With you seven great Hegemons, oh, wait, I estimate that there are at least 20 Hegemons here, maybe even more! With so many people being buried in death with me, I think that it isn��t considered a loss to me too!��


    Zhang Hexin��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Consider yourself ruthless! Let��s go!��


    Right now, there were clearly only Ye Yuan and Hegemon Yun Xiang two people who had the ability to crack the formation.


    If they really offended this boy badly and if Yun Xiang really failed, they would really have to die here.


    The six great Hegemons attacked the array formation again according to the position that Ye Yuan pointed at.


    Ugh, very miserable!


    Just like that, Yun Xiang and Ye Yuan two people used the six great Hegemons as hard-laborers, ordering them around over and over again.


    However, the six great Hegemons�� strengths were evident. With them taking action, it indeed saved a lot of effort.


    Three months later, Yun Xiang suddenly put down the rock in her hand and got up and walked toward the grand array.


    Everyone��s mind trembled!


    ��It��s here. It��s here! Sure enough, it��s still a Hegemon level heavenly formation master who��s more powerful!��


    ��Hegemon Yun Xiang cracked the formation first! Ye Yuan this boy will suffer!��


    ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, you no longer have utility value! This time, I��ll see if you still don��t die!�� Kong Tan said with a loud laugh.


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan ignored him and was still writing and drawing.


    However, no one paid attention to him anymore.


    Everyone��s gazes were focused on Hegemon Yun Xiang.

 Chapter 3059 - Failing With Every Attempt!

    Yun Xiang was very confident, arriving before the grand array, and took a step in.


    The grand array did not have the slightest activity.


    Following that, she took a second step. There was still nothing happening.


    Third step, fourth step �� Yun Xiang stormed the formation naturally and smoothly, without the slightest sluggishness.


    Compared to when Ye Yuan challenged the formation the previous time, it could simply be said to be unstoppable momentum.


    When Zhang Hexin and the rest saw the situation, they were all overjoyed.


    These few months of hardship finally exchanged for the hope of victory.


    ��Impressive! Impressive! It��s still a Hegemon level heavenly formation master in the end. Her strength is indeed not for show!��


    ��Hegemon Yun Xiang only did not detect it previously. Once she realized that we��re situated inside the Heaven formation, this place indeed can��t stop her!��


    ��Ye Yuan that boy is going to be in misery!��


    �� ��


    But, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to the outside world��s shock.


    He was still writing and drawing, thinking about something.


    Pffft!


    A gust of palm wind attacked. The thing that Ye Yuan was drawing was directly erased.


    Ye Yuan��s thoughts were naturally interrupted too.


    He frowned and looked at the arrival. Who could it be if not Zhang Hexin?


    Zhang Hexin had a cold smile on his face, and he said, ��Boy, I��ve tolerated you for a long time! Now, you��re still putting on an appearance? You��ve already lost!��


    ��Talking nonsense with him for what? Kill him at once!�� Kong Hai followed closely behind and said in a cold voice.


    These few days, Ye Yuan did not go easy on tormenting them.


    The number of times he made them storm the formation was much more than Yun Xiang.


    In the end, Yun Xiang already comprehended the formation, but Ye Yuan did not have any leads yet.


    They already found Ye Yuan displeasing to the eye in the first place. Now, it was naturally avenging grievances if there were any, and taking revenge if there were grudges.


    Ye Yuan looked at Zhang Hexin and said with a light smile, ��This sub-formation isn��t that simple. Behaving like this now, be careful that you guys won��t be able to clean up the mess in a while.��


    Kong Hai sneered and said, ��Yun Xiang has already cracked the formation. What��s there to clean up still? Boy, this seat has found you displeasing for a long time!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��Then you might be even more unhappy in a while. No matter what, you all can��t kill me right now because I��m the only second choice! Killing me, once Yun Xiang fails, none of you can get out! If you all are so confident in her, do it.��


    Ye Yuan spread his two hands out and made it look like he was at other people��s mercy to be cut up like fish.


    With this, Zhang Hexin two people hesitated instead.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��Boy, don��t be pleased with yourself! Yun Xiang will succeed in storming the formation right away. At that time, it will be your death!��


    Ye Yuan shrugged, indifferent to it.


    This sub-formation was not that simple.


    He had not even understood the changes involved up till now.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not underestimate a Hegemon level heavenly formation master, but he was certain that Yun Xiang had most likely walked into a misunderstanding.


    This sub-formation was designed extremely ingeniously. There were several areas that were very easy to mix up.


    It was precisely because he was not sure that Ye Yuan made Zhang Hexin and the rest storm the formation many times. It was not that he had the intention of toying with him.


    But Zhang Hexin and the rest naturally felt that Ye Yuan was deliberately targeting them.


    Of course, he could not be bothered to make them understood either.


    Ye Yuan naturally had his reliance to dare pick a fight with Yun Xiang.


    He fused the origin seeds of myriad Dao. A very large portion of them were all Labyrinth Divine Palace disciples.


    Among them, there were origin powers that were quite similar to Heaven formation.


    Ye Yuan guessed that the original master of this origin seed should have a significant relationship with Hegemon Sevenway.


    It was by relying on precisely this origin seed that Ye Yuan held superior advantage in the Heaven formation than others.


    Although Yun Xiang was formidable, she wholeheartedly sought speed, falling into mediocrity.


    Those few places that were easy to make one be confused were not that easy to discover.


    Boom!


    Before Zhang Hexin��s voice faded, Yun Xiang was directly blasted out.


    Heavily wounded!


    The expressions of the six great Hegemons changed wildly! Ye Yuan really hit the mark!


    Yun Xiang failed!


    ��What��s going on?�� Zhang Hexin asked.


    Yun Xiang frowned heavily and said, ��It seems like somewhere is wrong. Let me deduce it again! Relax, I��ve already completely comprehended this sub-formation. It��s not difficult to crack it!��


    One sentence made everyone settle down.


    ��Okay! Whatever help you need, just say it. You can��t lose this battle!�� Zhang Hexin said with a solemn face.


    After all, it was the number one killing formation. Mistakes were naturally allowed.


    But the face of Hegemon Realms could not be lost!


    In this battle, they could not lose to Ye Yuan no matter what!


    Yun Xiang was a little stunned, but she still nodded her head and said, ��Okay, I��ll reorganize it again.��


    Hence, she buried herself in work again.


    But Zhang Hexin felt that there was a burning gaze looking over toward him.


    Turning his head, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.


    Motherfucker, this guy was right again!


    ��Humph! Brat, don��t get smug! She merely ran into some trouble. The general direction is correct! Just you wait to surrender!�� Zhang Hexin gave a cold snort and no longer cared about Ye Yuan.


    He could not afford to lose this face!


    And this time, Ye Yuan started taking things easy and simply crossed his hands and stopped comprehending the formation.


    ��What��s the matter? Ye Yuan wouldn��t have given up, right?��


    ��Even if he doesn��t give up, the chances of winning aren��t high either, right? Hegemon Yun Xiang also said that she has already fully understood it!��


    ��Yeah, although she ran into some trouble, the results will definitely be her being successful. Ye Yuan��s speed is still too slow!��


    �� ��


    Everyone started discussing in whispers when they saw the situation.


    In a blink of an eye, another half a month passed.


    Yun Xiang naturally could not dispense without tormenting Zhang Hexin they all a few times.


    Then she went to storm the formation again with overflowing confidence.


    Zhang Hexin and the rest pulled themselves together once more, secretly cheering Yun Xiang on.


    Boom!


    Who knew that before long, Yun Xiang was blasted out again.


    This time, it was even more miserable!


    The expressions of Zhang Hexin and the rest changed wildly, hurriedly going up to help Yun Xiang up.


    ��Are you alright?�� Zhang Hexin asked with concern.


    He was not on very good terms with Yun Xiang. There were some grudges. But, being united against outsiders at this time, he was naturally concerned.


    This time, half of Yun Xiang��s body was blown away, rather miserable.


    Recovering would not be that easy as well.


    But Yun Xiang did not seem to have heard it and was full of confusion as she said, ��Impossible! I��ve already deduced it dozens of times! It��s clearly not wrong! Why?! Why is it like this?!��


    The expressions on the faces of the six great Hegemons were very complicated.


    Without turning around, they already felt a series of burning gazes.


    Failed again!


    ��It��s okay. We have plenty of time, again!�� Zhang Hexin encouraged.


    Yun Xiang did not say anything and nodded her head.


    After nursing her wounds for a few days, Yun Xiang finally recovered a little and started studying intensively again.


    But unfortunately, she came out badly injured each time.


    Furthermore, each was more severe than the last!


    After attempting for seven to eight times like time, she finally could not hold on anymore.


    ��Why?! Why is this happening! I��ve clearly already comprehended the formation. Why can��t I crack the formation!�� Yun Xiang looked up to the sky and roared angrily, her eyes full of confusion.


    Zhang Hexin��s face was ugly to the extreme.


    Sustaining serious injuries repeatedly, Yun Xiang was already powerless to challenge the formation anymore!


    His gaze could not resist looking toward Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan did not look at him. He was currently chatting away with Yang Qing.


    This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!


    But there was no choice!


    ��Boy, Yun Xiang can��t do it anymore! Hurry up and go comprehend the formation!�� Zhang Hexin arrived in front of Ye Yuan and said in a solemn voice.

 Chapter 3060 - Messing With You All on Purpose!

    ��Comprehend formation? Comprehend what formation?�� Ye Yuan said with a blank face.


    Zhang Hexin��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Punk, are you feigning ignorance to this seat?��


    Ye Yuan shrugged and said, ��Sorry, the things that I comprehended were all in those symbols. Now, those symbols are gone. I also don��t know how I should comprehend the formation anymore.��


    Zhang Hexin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. This boy was intentionally putting on airs!


    He did not believe that with Ye Yuan��s intellect, he would not remember those symbols.


    Ye Yuan was clearly taking revenge by saying so!


    ��Boy, do you really think that this seat doesn��t dare to kill you?�� Zhang Hexin released killing intent and locked onto Ye Yuan.


    But sadly, Ye Yuan did not seem to feel it and said nonchalantly, ��What��s Senior so fierce for? The more you scare me, the more I��ll forget! The more I forget, the harder it will be to crack the formation.��


    Zhang Hexin was going crazy.


    By the side, Kong Hai said with a cold snort, ��Talking crap with him for? Torment him well. This seat doesn��t believe that he dares to not obey!��


    The moment this was said, Zhang Hexin was clearly somewhat stirred.


    But this was also a risky move. Yun Xiang could not do it anymore. There was only Ye Yuan left now.


    If they really provoked Ye Yuan and had a life-and-death struggle, then everyone��s lives would be left behind here.


    But, to make him beg Ye Yuan obsequiously, he could not put aside this ego too.


    Ye Yuan��s meaning was very clear: lower your head and admit your fault!


    In the end, face still triumphed over everything.


    Zhang Hexin��s figure suddenly moved explosively, directly grabbing toward Ye Yuan, his speed inconceivably swift.


    Of course, Ye Yuan did not plan to dodge either.


    He still stood there, perfectly calm and composed, as if the target of Zhang Hexin��s attack was not him.


    Just as Zhang Hexin was about to grab Ye Yuan, a figure suddenly rushed out from the flank.


    Bang!


    Zhang Hexin was in disarray, taking hundreds of steps back in a row before barely managing to stabilize his figure.


    A figure was standing in front of Ye Yuan with his hands behind his back.


    ��Humph! A bunch of good-for-nothings!��


    Zhang Hexin��s expression changed drastically, and he cried out in surprise, ��Hegemon Yun Shang!��


    Human race itinerant cultivator, Supreme Hegemon, Hegemon Yun Shang!


    He finally could not resist and took action.


    Hegemon Yun Shang snorted coldly and said, ��A few idiots! If you all are courting death yourselves, this seat doesn��t care. But do you want the others to be buried in death together with you all?��


    The expressions of Zhang Hexin and the rest were very ugly. Hegemon Realm powerhouses being called idiots in front of so many people, their faces had nowhere to go!


    His expression turned dark, and he said, ��Yun Shang, who do you think you are? It��s not your turn to act wildly in front of my Melody Nether Heavenly Sect yet!��


    Hegemon Realm Yun Shang had a disdainful look as he said, ��Your Melody Nether Heavenly Sect is very strong, but looking across all the heavens, it��s also nothing more than this! Do you really know how many Hegemon Realms came this time? How do you know that there aren��t Great Beyond powerhouses among them? This seat is scolding you for your own good! Otherwise, if others made a move, it might take your life!��


    Zhang Hexin��s expression changed, and he could not resist sweeping his gaze over.


    But, no matter how he looked, he could not find which one was a Hegemon Realm too.


    What he did just now was indeed somewhat committing a taboo.


    He was willing to take the risk, but it did not mean that other Hegemons were willing to brave the risk.


    With these people not coming forward, it was naturally because they felt that it was not yet time to take action.


    But, even if it was a Great Beyond powerhouse, they might not be able to get out of the Heaven formation alive too!


    ��You idiots! If you��re not as capable as other people, just directly apologize! Right now, this young friend is our only hope of getting out. You actually dared to attack him? If you guys really want to kill him, sure! This time, this seat won��t stop you all. You all see whether or not someone will make a move and kill you guys!�� Hegemon Yun Shang��s gaze was cold as he said.


    The seven great Hegemons all had gloomy faces.


    But hearing Hegemon Yun Shang��s words, they were like being enlightened, knocking them awake.


    Seeing everyone remain silent, Yun Shang said coolly, ��Why? No more talking? If you��re not talking, then put your ego aside! You guys just do whatever Young Friend Ye says!��


    Finished saying this, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said with a smile, ��Young Friend Ye, looking on account of this seat��s face, how about you calm your anger? If you��re not happy, this seat can act and help you teach them a good lesson!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Senior Yun Shang��s face naturally has to be given. But I��ve indeed pretty forgotten the process of deduction. If I want to continue comprehending the formation, I��ll need the various seniors to take action and storm the formation anew!��


    ��You��re f*cking lying through your teeth!�� Zhang Hexin swore.


    Six great hegemons, their lungs were almost exploding from anger.


    Meanwhile, Hegemon Yun Xiang was secretly rejoicing, pretending to be dead at one side.


    She was already heavily injured and could not go and storm the formation.


    This sensation of rushing the formation was horrible.


    ��Mn?�� Hegemon Yun Shang��s brows furrowed, his face revealing anger.


    Zhang Hexin and the rest immediately withered up.


    Ye Yuan stepped out of the ranks and made a hand gesture to the few as he said smilingly, ��Seniors, please go ahead!��


    Zhang Hexin had a black face as he said, ��Boy, this seat has remembered this score!��


    Ye Yuan just smiled, indifferent about it.


    An hour later, a group of people came back with bloody noses and swollen faces.


    But Ye Yuan still did not have the intention of getting started.


    ��Boy, we��ve already returned from storming the formation. Why haven��t you gotten started?�� Zhang Hexin said in a solemn voice.


    ��Oh, I got the position wrong just now. I haven��t found the place to start with. You guys go and rush it again,�� Ye Yuan said with a grin.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Six powerful auras surged to the sky.


    The six great Hegemons were enraged.


    ��Boy, you dare to mess with us?�� Zhang Hexin bellowed.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Yeah, I��m messing with you all. Do you have any objections? The few of you terrorized me for half a day. But I am not allowed to mess with you once?��


    ��This seat will kill you!�� Zhang Hexin��s roar was virtually distorting.


    His current fury could be seen.


    ��Uh-humph!�� Right at this time, Hegemon Yun Shang coughed, instantly extinguishing the six people��s fury.


    ��Boy, consider yourself ruthless!�� Zhang Hexin roared angrily and stormed the formation again with endless anger.


    The moment the six people left, Ye Yuan picked up a stone and started drawing swiftly.


    The content of the drawing was exactly the same as before.


    Everyone��s faces revealed strange looks.


    ��Tsk tsk, what happened really broadened my horizons today! An Emperor Vast Heaven toyed with six Hegemon Realms in the palm of his hand!��


    ��When the six great Hegemons return and see that Ye Yuan has already recovered these, will they vomit blood?��


    ��Sigh, Hegemon Hexin was too impulsive! If he had long known, couldn��t he fly off the handle after enduring it and finish waiting for Hegemon Yun Xiang to storm the formation? Now, he has utterly lost his face!��


    �� ��


    Everyone started to sympathize with Zhang Hexin six people.


    Even Hegemon Yun Shang had a strange look on his face too, secretly feeling glad that he did not provoke this kid.


    Otherwise, the outcome would be really miserable!


    Before leaving Heaven formation, I absolutely must not provoke this kid!


    Hegemon Yun Shang secretly made up his mind.


    Another hour passed. The six people returned with injuries again.


    When Zhang Hexin saw the dense drawings on the ground, his entire person was petrified.


    He suddenly discovered that he had no temper anymore!


    His temper was bad, but the fury that filled his chest had nowhere to vent at all!

 Chapter 3061 - Comprehending Origin Again!

    ��Succeeded! Indeed succeeded again!��


    ��Hegemon Yun Xiang is completely defeated this time!��


    ��I really didn��t expect that Ye Yuan, a puny little Emperor Vast Heaven, really defeated a Hegemon Realm!��


    ��How is this possible? The two of their realms are not on the same level at all. So why can Ye Yuan win? Can��t figure it out!��


    �� ��


    Ye Yuan walked out of the sub-formation carrying treasures. The whole crowd burst into an uproar.


    This announced that Ye Yuan had completely defeated Hegemon Yun Xiang.


    At this time, Hegemon Yun Xiang was looking at Ye Yuan in a daze, indescribably uncomfortable.


    In a fair battle, she was defeated by an Emperor Vast Heaven!


    She was somewhat unable to accept this sort of thing.


    It was as if her many years of comprehension in Formation Dao had all become a joke!


    How many years had she comprehended Formation Dao?


    How old was Ye Yuan?


    Comparing people, was the disparity really so great?


    ��Why? Why is it like this?�� Yun Xiang said absentmindedly.


    ��Heaven formation isn��t as simple as you imagine! Nine array elements, developing myriad Dao and the universe, the knowledge here accesses heaven and penetrates the earth! These nine array elements are the foundation of all array elements! Hegemon Sevenway simplified things, comprehending Great Dao. But it��s also precisely because of this that it��s easier to make mistakes in many areas, and it even makes it hard to comprehend. The quintessence of Heaven formation isn��t in the grand array but in these nine array elements!�� Ye Yuan said.


    Yun Xiang��s entire body trembled, her eyes revealing a look of astonishment.


    Clearly, the things that Ye Yuan said opened her mind to new ideas.


    But knowing was one thing; comprehending was another.


    Yun Xiang��s Formation Dao cultivation was very strong, but Heaven formation was not what she could comprehend in a short time.


    This was the disparity between her and Ye Yuan.


    This Heaven formation was enough for her to use a lifetime to comprehend!


    ��I �� I lost!�� Yun Xiang said with a bitter smile.


    Ye Yuan patted her shoulder and said, ��You��re very strong. Heaven formation is your chance to break through the shackles. Comprehend it well. Maybe in the future, you can corroborate your Dao as a Supreme Hegemon.��


    This action looked very strange in everyone��s eyes.


    Under normal circumstances, this was an elder inculcating a junior.


    But a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven actually acted in such a manner to a Hegemon Realm. It looked really strange no matter how one looked at it.


    But people also had nothing to say!


    This was because this Emperor Vast Heaven had indeed completely defeated a Hegemon Realm!


    An inconceivable victory!


    In the following journey, it became Ye Yuan��s solo performance.


    Hegemon Yun Xiang ignored her injuries and followed behind Ye Yuan like a little follower.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, this Heaven formation was her greatest lucky chance!


    Even if she could comprehend one-ten-thousandth, it would also benefit her for life.


    The number one killing formation in all heavens and myriad words, this name was not called in vain.


    Ye Yuan did not have the thought of being selfish either. Although he was not on good terms with these Hegemons, the crisis of the blood race was near at hand. If their strength could improve further, it would naturally be a good thing too.


    Hence, a scene that amazed everyone appeared.


    Yun Xiang, this Hegemon level heavenly formation master, was actually like a disciple, frequently receiving Ye Yuan��s teachings, making everyone click their tongues in wonder.


    Yun Xiang��s improvement was obvious.


    Three years later, Yun Xiang��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and she actually broke through to Peak Hegemon in one stroke!


    All the Hegemon Realms were really envious to the extreme.


    ��Really amazing! I didn��t expect that Hegemon Yun Xiang actually had a blessing come to her in the disguise of misfortune, breaking through the shackles in one stroke!��


    ��I heard that Hegemon Yun Xiang has already been stuck in this realm for 100 thousand years!��


    ��Ye Yuan is really too impressive! He actually forcibly nurtured an ordinary Hegemon into a Peak Hegemon!��


    ��But speaking of which, Hegemon Yun Xiang��s improvement is great, but it��s still far from Ye Yuan��s! Since half a year ago, she already couldn��t keep up with Ye Yuan in Formation Dao!��


    �� ��


    After she broke through, everyone exclaimed with admiration one after another.


    No one thought that in the end, it was actually Hegemon Yun Xiang who obtained a great benefit.


    But, starting half a year ago, the confusion on Hegemon Yun Xiang��s face grew increasingly stronger.


    She was no longer able to comprehend the things that Ye Yuan said.


    This grand array became more difficult and obscure the further back.


    It was clearly only constituted of nine array elements, but the things derived were incomparably complicated.


    On this day, Ye Yuan walked out of a sub-formation, his eyes becoming incomparably bright.


    His whole body teemed with the power of origin.


    Hegemon Yun Shang��s eyes lit up, and he cried out in surprise, ��This boy comprehended Formation Dao origin! Emperor Vast Heaven Realm, comprehending two great origins, this is simply too monstrous!��


    When geniuses from all heavens looked at this scene, they only felt ashamed to the extreme.


    Comprehending origin to them was not considered something very hard.


    But these people had basically all already broken through to Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    No one could comprehend origin in Emperor Vast Heaven Realm at all.


    Let alone comprehend two origins.


    ��Sigh, I really have been sitting in the well and looking at the sky! I��ve always thought that I��m a genius who doesn��t lose to anyone! But today, I��m thoroughly convinced!��


    ��How did this guy��s brain grow? Why is his comprehension ability so strong?��


    ��There��s always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven!��


    �� ��


    Geniuses were all condescending.


    Even if it was Yang Qing, they remained unconvinced too.


    But they were really convinced by Ye Yuan.


    This guy was simply a monster!


    Forget crushing his peers; he even taught a Peak Hegemon!


    Ye Yuan meditated on the spot, digesting the fruits of Formation Dao origin.


    Several days later, he slowly opened both eyes, the look in his eyes becoming incomparably bright.


    ��Young Friend Ye, how is it? Do you have confidence in walking out now?�� Hegemon Yun Shang said rather agitatedly.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Can��t walk out! The entire Labyrinth Divine Palace is enveloped inside the Heaven formation! However, with my current Formation Dao strength, we shouldn��t encounter any dangers when walking around inside the grand array.��


    Hegemon Yun Shang��s expression changed. He did not expect that this grand array��s area coverage was actually so vast!


    Didn��t this mean that all of their lives were grasped in Ye Yuan��s hands?


    ��Ye Yuan, are you doing it on purpose?�� Zhang Hexin said in a solemn voice.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If you keep talking crap, do you believe that I��ll directly bring you into a death door? Killing you is as easy as killing an ant now!��


    Zhang Hexin��s expression changed wildly. He did not believe it, but he did not dare to gamble.


    Yun Xiang said in a solemn voice, ��Zhang Hexin, if you dare to be disrespectful to Young Friend Ye, this seat will find trouble with you!��


    Zhang Hexin exploded, yelling angrily, ��Damn woman, you��re going too far! Do you think that by breaking through to Peak Hegemon, you have the qualifications to challenge this seat?��


    Zhang Hexin was a Peak Hegemon to begin with. This was also why he could become the leader of the seven great Hegemons.


    But now, Yun Xiang��s cultivation realm had already caught up to him.


    Yun Xiang smiled coldly and said, ��Zhang Hexin, this seat advice that you��d better stay more low-key! Otherwise, if Young Friend Ye takes action, you won��t even know how you died! Do you really think that you, this Hegemon, are very powerful?��


    Hegemon Yun Shang was rather annoyed and said in a solemn voice, ��Enough! Stop talking nonsense. Continue forward!��


    Under Ye Yuan��s lead, everyone finally crossed that enormous imperial garden and entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s group of palaces!

 Chapter 3062 - 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!

    ��The Labyrinth Divine Palace is really extravagant! These palaces are completely made from galaxy profound gold. This wealth can probably directly purchase a plane!��


    ��You look at this lamp, it��s actually a grade one grandmist treasure! My God! This is also too freaking luxurious!��


    ��These stone slates, it all paved with Power Way Spirit Stones! Cultivating here is simply paradise!��


    ��Prodigal! Really prodigal!��


    �� ��


    Even if it was the group of Hegemon Realms, seeing the extravagance of the Labyrinth Divine Palace, they could not refrain from being jealous too.


    These palaces could only be described by one word: luxurious!


    Everyone wished to directly poach these palaces away.


    Of course, they did so too.


    Any good stuff that they saw, they directly poached them away.


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s palaces gradually got taller in sequence.


    That large palace at the back rose straight into the clouds, seemingly like a giant beast that could swallow everything.


    Even when standing in front of it, one had an impulse to prostrate in submission too.


    Among the surrounding main palaces, there were a total of 12 main palaces suspended around it, displaying an arrangement where stars surrounded the moon.


    Ye Yuan heard that in its prime, the Labyrinth Divine Palace had 12 Great Beyond Realm powerhouses who were known as the 12 Heavenly Kings.


    Regarding these 12 Heavenly Kings, each one was an important figure who shocked heaven and earth.


    Hegemon Sevenway was one of them.


    These 12 Heavenly King Palaces were the residences of the 12 Great Beyond powerhouses.


    ��These 12 Heavenly King Palaces, you all don��t enter it. Those Hegemon Realms are all aiming for the Heavenly King Palaces and the Labyrinth Divine Hall. Once there are any clashes, we aren��t Hegemon Realm, the consequences will be too dreadful to contemplate. Everyone all look for lucky chances in the palace groups below. With the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s foundation, if you all are lucky, there might be a few who can step into Hegemon Realm,�� Ye Yuan instructed Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s people.


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye, you understand Heaven formation now. We aren��t scared of them!�� Hu Gaoshan said.


    Clearly, he still did not give up.


    The biggest lucky chances were clearly inside the 12 Heavenly King Palaces and the Labyrinth Divine Hall.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The range that Heaven formation covers is only up to here too. Regarding the 12 Heavenly King Palaces and the Labyrinth Divine Hall, with Hegemon Sevenway��s strength, they can��t be covered at all. If we go over there, life and death won��t be up to us anymore.��


    Only then did everyone come to a realization.


    The 12 Heavenly King Palaces and the Labyrinth Divine Hall were the nucleus of the Labyrinth Divine Palace. Each of their owner��s strengths was not weaker than Hegemon Sevenway.


    Although the Heaven formation was strong, it was not invincible either.


    ��Doesn��t that mean that we have to helplessly watch the good stuff be taken away by that bunch of fellows?�� Yang Qing said unwillingly.


    Ye Yuan said, ��That might not be the case. Everything is up to fate. Sometimes, destiny is more important than strength.��


    Boom!


    Before his voice faded, a loud noise came from above the void.


    It turned out that they had already exchanged blows.


    This was two great Supreme Hegemons, one of them was Hegemon Yun Shang, while the other was a fiend race Supreme Hegemon.


    ��Old Dog Zhen Yi, this seat is here for the Immortal Cloud Cone! If you dare snatch it, we��ll be irreconcilable till death today!��


    Hegemon Yun Shang��s angry roar came from above the void.


    At this time, Hegemon Yun Shang was already beyond furious. When fighting, he fought until the void fractured.


    However, the Heavenly King Palaces were extremely sturdy and actually did not budge an inch.


    On the other side, the strength of the fiend race Supreme Hegemon was also not the slightest bit weaker.


    The two people��s battle was fought extremely trepidatiously.


    Before long, a great battle also erupted in the Burning Sky Heavenly King Palace too.


    Those participating in the battle this time were similarly Supreme Hegemons!


    Very soon, terrifying battles erupted in the 12 Heavenly King Palaces virtually at the same time.


    Around the Heavenly King Palaces, the sky was already rent asunder, and the earth split open by the berserk power of origins.


    Those that were strong, their strength was already close to Great Beyond powerhouses1!


    When those geniuses who did not enter the Heavenly King Palaces looked at the terrifying battles above the void, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    ��My God, there are actually so many hidden Supreme Hegemons!��


    ��Luckily I didn��t go up; otherwise, I��d have already been reduced to dust now, right?��


    ��18 Supreme Hegemons! How many big shots came?!��


    �� ��


    Very soon, even more Supreme Hegemons debuted, shocking everyone until their jaws hit the ground.


    As for some ordinary Hegemons and Peak Hegemons, they joined the battles one after another too.


    The various major camps fell into frenzied great battles, vying for the treasures.


    Some origin powerhouses and Emperor Sakra Heavens who overestimated their own ability were directly reduced to dregs by this power.


    Boom!


    Hegemon Yun Shang��s palm went past. Hegemon Kong Hai took the palm solidly.


    Only to see his body fall down, already ceased breathing.


    A Hegemon fell!


    Everyone��s complexions were deathly pale, and only then they realized the horror of the battle.


    Shortly after, more and more Hegemons fell.


    In a blink of an eye, seven to eight ordinary Hegemons fell, and more than 20 Hegemons severely wounded!


    Only then did everyone know it turned out that in the eyes of top powerhouses, ordinary Hegemon Realms were nothing more than this too.


    �� ��


    But at this time, in the Heavenly King Palaces, there were still some people who were aloof and indifferent to the battles outside.


    A middle-aged man in a black robe was currently sizing up everywhere.


    Suddenly, his gaze landed on a table.


    There was a pen rack on the table. He extended his hand to move the pen rank and discovered that it could not be moved.


    His hand brushed over several pens and suddenly stopped on one of the pens.


    Then he turned it.


    Swoosh!


    Behind the table, a spatial door actually appeared!


    An extremely thick Heavenly Dao aura faintly transmitted out of the spatial door.


    The corners of the black-robed middle-aged man��s mouth curled slightly, and he said with a faint smile, ��Old Man Heavenless, do you think that by hiding it covertly, this seat won��t be able to find it? This seat will be accepting one of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!��


    When the black-robed middle-aged man came out of the spatial door, there was an additional red-green jade scroll in his hand.


    This red-green jade scroll was crystal clear, a majestic Great Dao aura appearing on it. One look and it was clear that it was not ordinary!


    The black-robed man was overjoyed, an extremely smug expression appearing on his face as he laughed loudly and said, ��Old Man Heavenless, you were called the number one genius since ancient times. Actually, it was merely by relying on the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings! Having acquired one, it will be effortless for this seat to surpass you! Watch closely!��


    ��Brother Ming Hui, aren��t you being pleased with yourself a little too early?�� In the great hall, another figure appeared at god knows when. It was a 20 years old looking youth in an azure shirt.


    When the black-robed man saw him, his pupils constricted!


    But very soon, he smiled coldly and said, ��Ming Hui? How long has it been since I��ve heard this name! Old Man Endless, the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings have 12 scrolls, and yet you want to fight with me for one?��


    The 20 years old youth in the azure shirt smiled and said, ��The one in your hand is the most precious Heaven scroll. Do you think that this seat will let it go? Hand it over so as to avoid the harmonious relations between us brothers being harmed.��


    The black-robed man��s eyes turned cold, and he said with a cold smile, ��Old Man Endless, do you think that you��ve cornered this seat?��


    The 20 years old youth in the azure shirt just smiled lightly and did not speak.


    But the black-robed person��s pressure suddenly increased.


    Nobody knew that Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven��s overlord level powerhouse, the 33 Heavens�� number one Alchemy Dao person, Ancestor Endless, actually appeared here too!


    At the same time, in a palace below, Ye Yuan took a tattered goat-skin scroll from an old bookshelf.


    This goat-skin scroll was full of dust, looking extremely ordinary.


    Ye Yuan lightly wiped off the dust on it, only to see an extremely ancient word written on it.


    But Ye Yuan recognized this word at first glance: Heaven!

 Chapter 3063 - I Am "Heaven"!

    ��You��re interested in this kind of junk? Stop wasting time, hurry up and find something good!�� When Yang Qing saw Ye Yuan dig out such an unremarkable thing, he could not resist urging.


    The moment Ye Yuan saw the Heaven word, a hint of surprise flashed across in his eyes.


    Although he had never been to the Labyrinth Divine Palace before, he was not unfamiliar with the Labyrinth Divine Palace at all.


    Ye Yuan understood that those truly top powerhouses were all aiming for the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    What were the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?


    No one knew!


    But Mi Tian knew that the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s rise was precisely because of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!


    And the last generation Labyrinth Divine Palace��s palace master, Hegemon Heavenless, relied on the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings and reached an inconceivable realm.


    The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings had a total of 12 scrolls.


    The most important volume among them was the Heaven scroll.


    A character for heaven was written on this goat-skin scroll. Could this be the Heaven scroll?


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that he actually found such a precious treasure in an unassuming side hall.


    If it were others, when they saw this junk covered in dust, they would definitely turn their noses up at it.


    But Ye Yuan cultivated the Eternal River��s chaos and had a sensitivity different from ordinary people toward some things.


    The moment he laid eyes on the goat-skin scroll, he felt its extraordinariness.


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan was someone with a great destiny in the first place. Coupled with the Extreme Medicine Sect��s blessing power, being luckier than others was very normal too.


    ��Heh, this isn��t some junk. We might have picked up a treasure!�� Ye Yuan smiled and said.


    When Yang Qing heard that, he sized it up carefully again and said disdainfully, ��Screw off! Just this junk, I reckon that it��s just some lousy cultivation method recorded in it. You��re treating it as a treasure too?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Do you know about the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    Yang Qing was stupefied and said, ��You wouldn��t tell me that this junk is the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, right? Got to be kidding! Who do you think you are? You can randomly pick up a treasure?��


    Ye Yuan did not expect that Yang Qing really knew about it. Hence, he nodded his head and said, ��If I didn��t guess wrongly, this is the Heaven scroll in the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!��


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan like looking at a fool and said with a loud laugh, ��The Heaven scroll is the most important volume in the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings. Even Great Beyond powerhouses will be moved! You��re telling me now that this junk is the Heaven scroll? Stop fooling with me. Do you take me to be a three-year-old child?��


    Boom!


    Right at this time, a loud noise came over.


    The entire Labyrinth Divine Palace seemed to have started swaying.


    Yang Qing��s expression changed, and he cried out in surprise, ��Goodness me, there are really Great Beyond powerhouses! Could it be that they are all aiming for the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Apart from the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, what else can move them?��


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan with a look of contempt and said, ��Then, you��re telling me that you picked up the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings? H-Hur hur �� hur hur hur ����


    The two people went out of the great hall only to see three figures standing in a triangle formation above the void. They were currently fighting until the sky was rent asunder and the earth split open.


    The three people carried the might of heaven and earth with every move and stance. Even the Supreme Hegemons who were fighting fiercely previously had already kept a good distance away too.


    They could not afford to provoke!


    Great Beyond powerhouses were too strong!


    The black-robed middle-aged man said in a cold voice, ��Old Man Endless! If you still don��t give up, you��ll definitely die here today!��


    On the other side, a woman in a whiterobe similarly said fiercely, ��Old Man Endless, hand over the Heaven scroll and I can spare you from death!��


    Ancestor Endless was holding the Heaven scroll, his momentum unstoppable!


    Fighting two-on-one, he actually did not show the slightest hint of getting defeated.


    He actually snatched the Heaven scroll from Hegemon Ming Hui��s hands!


    The Heaven scroll in his hand had an archaic Heavenly Dao aura that had experienced the many vicissitudes of life, giving people a soul-stirring feeling.


    One look and it was clear that it was not ordinary!


    ��Haha, Younger Sister Profound Ice, don��t say this kind of spiteful words! If I hand over the Heaven scroll, do you think that you can walk out of here today?�� Ancestor Endless said with a loud laugh.


    Hegemon Profound Ice snorted coldly and said, ��Then don��t blame this younger sister for being merciless!��


    Finished saying, the three people��s auras were released, and they actually clashed together again.


    Below, Zhou Xianchen looked toward Ancestor Endless with a look of shock and muttered, ��I didn��t expect that Ancestor actually personally took action! Just what is the Heaven scroll in his hand?��


    Not far away from him, Zhang Hexin said with a cold laugh, ��Heh, haven��t you heard before? The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s ultimate treasure, the first volume of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, it��s the Heaven scroll! It��s said that back then, Old Man Heavenless could only reach an inconceivable realm because he comprehended the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings fully! Do you think your ancestor will be moved by it?��


    Zhou Xianchen��s entire body trembled, only then knowing what the thing that his ancestor was fighting over was.


    Ancestor��s strength was unfathomable. But it was far too difficult to want to improve further.


    This Heaven scroll was clearly his hope of advancement!


    Hence, he secretly cheered Ancestor on, hoping that Ancestor would win.


    And those Supreme Hegemons were long already extremely shocked!


    This was because these three mighty Great Beyond powerhouses were actually humanity��s three supreme heavens�� three mighty Great Beyond Hegemons, Xiu Ming, Ling Hua, and Endless!


    It was just that, the names that came out of their mouths were actually wrong!


    ��Why is Ancestor Endless calling Hegemon Ling Hua Hegemon Profound Ice?��


    ��Mn? Isn��t one of the palaces among the 12 Heavenly King Palaces the Profound Ice Heavenly King Palace? Could it be ����


    ��Also, they are calling Xiu Ming as Burning Sky. There��s a palace called Burning Sky Heavenly King Palace among the 12 Heavenly King Palaces too! This �� This ����


    ��Could it be that the three of them are actually from the Labyrinth Divine Palace?��


    ��This is impossible! Back then, Hegemon Samsara led all the heavens and was said to have slaughtered the Labyrinth Divine Palace completely. How can there possibly still be remnant spawns?��


    ��Ancestor Endless is the Alchemy Dao��s number one person! Among the 12 Heavenly King Palaces, there��s one called True Pill Heavenly King Palace too! These three people��s identities are almost certain!��


    �� ��


    This deduction made everyone dumbfounded from shock.


    No one could have expected that humanity��s three supreme heavens�� strongest people were actually from the Labyrinth Divine Palace!��


    Today, the truth was finally revealed.


    The truth of history was always complicated and confusing!


    While at the other side, Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan and laughed loudly as he said, ��Ye Yuan, you say that it��s the Heaven scroll in your hand, right? Hahaha, really too hilarious! If what��s in your hand is the Heaven scroll, then what��s that in Ancestor Endless�� hand? The items in the two of your hands completely can��t be mentioned in the same breath! Hahaha ����


    Swoosh!


    All of a sudden, Yang Qing felt like he had disappeared.


    More accurately speaking, he was currently standing above the sky, overlooking everything!


    Below, three Great Beyond powerhouses were currently in the heat of fierce fighting. Numerous powerhouses kept a good distance away. There was even a group of geniuses currently searching for treasures.


    Every movement and action in this world fell into his eyes.


    Of course, he even felt that another person existed beside him.


    That person was Ye Yuan.


    But he could only feel him and not see him.


    This �� What was going on?


    ��Ye Yuan, where are you?�� Yang Qing��s heart shook wildly, and he could not resist asking.


    ��I��m right beside you! How do you feel now?�� Ye Yuan��s voice came over.


    Yang Qing drew a deep breath and said, ��I feel like I��m the heaven right now! Everything in the world seems to be in my grasp! This �� Could it be ����


    ��Yes, it��s the goat-skin scroll in my hand!�� Ye Yuan��s voice came over again.

 Chapter 3064 - Major Move!

    Perspective of God!


    Even Ye Yuan was also amazed by the Heaven scroll��s miraculousness.


    He seemed to be standing above Heavenly Dao, overlooking all life.


    Everything and everything was in his eyes.


    At this time, every flower and blade of grass, every leaf and tree, even the slight movements of the wind, they were all in his sight.


    ��Transforming into heaven and feeling the changes of all life? No, not just all life in the world; even if it��s an object without life, one can feel it too! All things have their own spirit. So that��s how it is!�� Ye Yuan said in shock.


    ��How is this possible! If that��s the Heaven scroll in your hands, then what��s that in Ancestor Endless�� hand?�� Yang Qing still could not restrain the shock in his heart.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��That might be the Heaven scroll that Ancestor Heavenless copied! Although the aura of Dao is very rich, compared to this, it seems to still be lacking something.��


    Yang Qing felt it carefully and said in surprise, ��It��s true! But why would this thing be casually placed in a side hall? Doesn��t Ancestor Heavenless want it anymore?��


    Ye Yuan said, ��Ancestor Heavenless didn��t need this item since a long time ago, right? If this thing is useful to him, he would have long broken through the shackles and transcended the Great Beyond. How could he have been defeated by Hegemon Samsara? Even if it��s a Heavenly Dao treasure, each person has a limit to comprehend it too. It��s far too difficult to be equal with Heavenly Dao!��


    Yang Qing thought about it and felt the same.


    No matter how powerful the treasure, that would also have to depend on who obtained it.


    When some people obtained it, they would directly soar to the heavens in one bound.


    But some would have limited accomplishments.


    It might even call down a disaster.


    Treasures were not necessarily good things.


    Ancestor Heavenless�� talent was the strongest among past generation palace masters. But he had his limits too.


    Yang Qing said speechlessly, ��Your luck is also too good, right? A group of Great Beyond powerhouses is fighting to the death below, but in the end, it��s a fake. You casually picked something up, and it��s actually the Heaven scroll that they yearn for even in their sleep? Do you still want people to live?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Hence, I��m someone with a great destiny! This is called when one man attains Dao, his fowls and dogs ascend to heaven too. You benefit immensely from following me by the side too!��


    ��Pooh! You��re the chicken or dog!�� Yang Qing said angrily.


    ��Is that so? Then I��ll kick you out?��


    ��Don��t, don��t, don��t! This feeling is too magical; let me feel it more! I��m a chicken and dog! I��m a chicken and dog!��


    �� ��


    When Ye Yuan and Yang Qing were currently overlooking everything from the perspective of God, the situation below suddenly changed!


    Boom!


    Another surge of Great Dao aura rose to the sky.


    A red-green jade scroll actually flew out from a Heavenly King Palace.


    Ancestor Endless three people who were currently in the midst of fierce fighting, their expressions changed wildly!


    ��This is �� Earth volume!�� Ancestor Endless cried out in surprise.


    Swoosh!


    Hegemon Profound Ice grabbed toward the Earth scroll right away!


    However, right at this time, the third Heavenly Dao painting flew out!


    ��The Universe volume! What medicine is Old Man Heavenless selling in his gourd?�� Ancestor Endless�� expression became more and more ugly.


    He instinctively felt that it was not right, but he also could not pinpoint what was not right.


    The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings appeared one after another. Faced with such a huge temptation, nobody could resist!


    Following that, one Heavenly Dao Painting after another appeared!


    Boom!


    A massive energy directly sent Hegemon Profound Ice flying.


    She failed to get the Earth scroll!


    Boom!


    The Heaven scroll in Ancestor Endless�� hand directly exploded, flying towards the sky!


    Ancestor Endless�� expression was livid. After expending such a great effort, the Heaven scroll actually flew away!


    Very soon, 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings were arranged in a sequence above the void.


    Everyone looked at the sky in great shock.


    Ancestor Heavenless really played a major hand!!


    Without the slightest surprise, Ancestor Heavenless�� figure appeared above the void.


    He looked at the Hegemons that filled the sky, his eyes revealing ruefulness.


    Only to see him stand with his hands behind his back, his gaze landed on Ancestor Endless three people as he said coolly, ��Endless, Ming Hui, Profound Ice, how have you been?��


    Endless three people snorted coldly, but did not speak.


    Ancestor Heavenless did not think anything of it too as he continued, saying, ��This ancestor is just a dead man. No matter how many grudges in the past, it��s also transient as a floating cloud! The three of you betrayed me. This ancestor doesn��t blame you! Back then, it was this ancestor who was too anxious! However, the 33 Heavens are currently at a time of great crisis now. Once that blood race progenitor comes into being, his strength will probably be above this ancestor!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s expressions changed.


    The crisis of the blood race was no longer some secret.


    In fact, the blood race��s general direction was already formed; they are gaining momentum. These powerhouses could not help it either.


    As long as they could protect themselves in this overall situation, that would suffice.


    Ancestor Endless and the others naturally knew the danger of this trip, but they still came.


    Most likely, they felt the pressure too.


    ��This ancestor was once the overlord of all the heavens. Today, the 33 Heavens are confronted with danger. This ancestor naturally has to do my part! Today, this ancestor will open up the Labyrinth Divine Palace and share the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings! Whichever among you can obtain the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings and become the strongest, you��ll be able to receive this ancestor��s origins enlightening you, inheriting all of this ancestor��s strength! Now, start comprehending Dao!��


    Ancestor Heavenless said it neither too fast nor too slow, but each word stirred people��s hearts.


    Inherit all of Ancestor Heavenless�� strength; this allure was seriously too great!


    ��Inherit all of Ancestor Heavenless�� strength! My God, doesn��t that mean that a second Ancestor Heavenless will appear?��


    ��I heard that Ancestor Heavenless�� strength is not the slightest bit worse than Hegemon Samsara! If I can become the second Heavenless, then who in all the heavens and myriad worlds can still post a threat to me?��


    ��Too crazy! This trip really wasn��t in vain! This time, I definitely won��t lose to Ye Yuan!��


    �� ��


    The group of geniuses went completely crazy.


    Ancestor Heavenless was synonymous with supremacy.


    Although he had long fallen, he was absolutely a legend.


    His awe-inspiring reputation was not the least bit weaker than Hegemon Samsara��s.


    His mantle drove people too crazy!


    Hence, how could the group of geniuses still care about searching for treasures? Each and every one of them wished to burrow into the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Above the void, the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings each emitted a different aura.


    As if a complete Heavenly Dao was displayed in front of everyone.


    Heaven scroll; clouds rolled and smoothened out, the sun, moon, and stars changing unpredictably!


    Earth scroll; the atmosphere was deep, mountains and rivers could carry everything!


    Universe scroll; space flowed, all the heaven and earth were inside it!


    Aeon scroll, with a distant source and a long stream, however much time elapsed with the wind!


    �� ��


    12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, what it brought to everyone was endless shock!


    As if all the truths in heaven and earth were all within these 12 painting scrolls.


    ��So that��s how it is! So that��s how it is! Hahaha �� 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, it indeed lives up to its reputation! I��ve comprehended!��


    Kong Tan suddenly let out a loud laugh, the Door of Eternal Life appearing behind him.


    He, a middle Emperor Sakra Heaven, actually skyrocketed in aura, heading straight for grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    Everyone was in great shock.


    ��He �� Is he going to directly assault Hegemon Realm? Well-deserving of being the fiend race��s number one genius, this comprehension ability really surpasses ancient and modern times!��


    ��This time, Ye Yuan is finally beaten!��


    ��That Yang Qing too. He can��t be unconvinced this time even if he wants to! Once Kong Tan enters Hegemon, he won��t let him off!��


    �� ��

 Chapter 3065 - All the People Advances!

    ��Open for me!��


    Kong Tan turned into a true fiend, his imposing momentum already rising to peak Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    It was only to see him throw a punch out. The third seal trembled, but it did not immediately break.


    Without the slightest hesitation, Kong Tan threw out his second punch!


    Third punch, fourth punch ��


    Kong Tan��s true fiend body was formidable to the extreme.


    The third seal became increasingly looser under his punches.


    Boom!


    When Kong Tan threw the 19th punch, the third seal broke at the sound of it!


    Whoosh!


    The thick origin power seemed like floodwaters that broke the dam, pouring down and filling Kong Tan��s true fiend body!


    Kong Tan felt invigorated to the extreme at this time.


    He let out a loud laugh and said, ��Hahaha �� Yang Qing, Ye Yuan, it��s ultimately me who took this step first! This seat is the number one genius in all the heavens!��


    His voice reverberated throughout the heavens. It was clearly audible in the entire Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    Everyone was searching for Ye Yuan and Yang Qing��s figures in the crowd but could not find them.


    ��Heh, it looks like the two of them don��t dare to show themselves anymore!��


    ��Truly, change is the only constant. The wheel of fortune turns! Nobody could have expected that Kong Tan actually made a comeback at the final moment! It looks like he��s the true son of destiny!��


    ��The winner is decided! It looks like Kong Tan will be the next Hegemon Heavenless!��


    �� ��


    Visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, someone breaking through to Hegemon Realm was within reason.


    But no one expected that Kong Tan��s breakthrough was so fast!


    In the trials previously, Kong Tan, this son of the fiend race, was suppressed firmly by Ye Yuan and Yang Qing.


    But now, he finally turned things around!


    With regards to this sudden turn of events, Hegemon Endless and the rest did not show any visible changes in emotions.


    They were currently visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings with all their hearts!


    They had all visualized the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings before.


    But at that time, Heavenless treasured his own belongings and did not let them visualize all of them.


    Especially the Heaven scroll, Heavenless never took it out before.


    But this time, the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings were gathered. The power was unimaginable!


    Having just visualized for half a day, they all, these Hegemon Realms, had already faintly understood some of it.


    One had to know that their cultivation realms had long already reached the limit. They might not be able to make progress for hundreds of thousands of years.


    The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings were the only channel for them to become stronger!


    At this time, the entire Labyrinth Divine Palace was a harmonious sight. Everyone was visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Whatever treasures, whatever scheming against each other, nobody paid attention to all that.


    However, it was not just Kong Tan alone who was impressive.


    Three days later, Feng Qingxuan started undergoing nirvanic rebirth!


    Yes, under the circumstances where she did not get injured, she directly started to undergo nirvanic rebirth.


    However, her nirvanic rebirth time was very long, many people had already broken through their cultivation realms, but she did not budge an inch.


    Under Kong Tan and Feng Qingxuan, the various races�� geniuses also broke through the fetters one after another.


    Those top geniuses broke through to Hegemon Realm in succession!


    In front of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, it was a banquet of Hegemon breakthroughs!


    Qin Baichuan, Wang Ningyan, and Zhou Xianchen, these people also all broke through to Hegemon Realm one after another.


    Even people who were lacking in talent, after visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, their strength also advanced by leaps and bounds.


    Only Ye Yuan and Yang Qing two people were still observing everything from the perspective of God.


    ��Eh, she came too!��


    Ye Yuan discovered a familiar figure in the crowd. It was the Nirvanic Soul Clan��s Cloudneon.


    The soul race was very low-profile this time. Ye Yuan was also not familiar with the people who came, so he did not say hello to them.


    He did not expect that Cloudneon was actually hiding among them.


    Cloudneon��s talent was only stronger and not weaker when compared to Feng Qingxuan.


    Facing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, she naturally gained quite the knowledge.


    Ye Yuan could perceive that her soul force was currently strengthening. She was already not far away from Supreme Hegemon!


    This woman was really formidable!


    Just how long had it been since she broke through to Hegemon Realm? She was going to break through to Supreme Hegemon already?


    ��Ye Yuan, could it be that we were both wrong? That Ancestor Heavenless is really doing it for the sake of all the heavens and myriad races?�� Yang Qing could not resist asking.


    Although the Labyrinth Divine Palace trip this time had many geniuses who fell, the progress made was even more!


    Especially the appearance of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, it made many geniuses transform, becoming leviathans of a region.


    This made Yang Qing unable to refrain from somewhat doubting Heavenless�� goal.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I don��t know, but I feel that it��s not that simple! Furthermore, I feel like the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s matter isn��t over yet!��


    Yang Qing said with confusion, ��Even Great Beyond powerhouses have come out. How is it not over yet? Could it be that there are even stronger existences? That��s impossible! Although the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings are imitations, the power is really strong! No one will be able to resist being moved!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��With the Labyrinth Divine Palace reappearing, all the heavens are astir! Such a major matter, it��s impossible for the blood race and Hegemon Samsara to not know at all, right? 12 Hegemon Paintings, aren��t they moved by it?��


    Yang Qing said indifferently, ��This place is Ancestor Heavenless�� lair. Do they dare to come? You, this fellow, you��re oversuspicious! Speaking of which, you��ve visualized for so long. Do you have any breakthroughs? Heh heh, I��ve already comprehended Spear Dao origin and destruction origin!��


    Two years had already passed. With Yang Qing��s talent, he naturally benefited greatly under the Heaven scroll.


    Even Kong Tan could break through to Hegemon. So how could he, Yang Qing, be weak?


    Of course, Yang Qing did not have Kong Tan in his eyes at all. There was only Ye Yuan!


    Comprehending two powers of origin at the same time, Yang Qing could be rated as a prodigy. So he could not resist showing off to Ye Yuan.


    ��Is that so? Congratulations to you!�� Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.


    ��This fellow, is it that you didn��t comprehend anything? Heh heh, this emperor knew that you��re still that tiny bit lousier than me!�� Yang Qing said smugly.


    Ye Yuan glanced at him and said, ��My Dao sword should be able to kill origin powerhouses now. Uh �� not the kind like you.��


    Yang Qing��s expression turned stiff. Uh, of course, his expression could not be seen right now.


    Origin powerhouse, under normal circumstances, it referred to above grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    Those such as Yang Qing who comprehended origin at lower Emperor Sakra Heaven were in the minority after all.


    With the Labyrinth Divine Palace opening up this time, geniuses from all heavens gathered. That was why it seemed like there were a lot.


    But actually, top geniuses like this would not exceed five fingers in one plane!


    With you as the exception, it was naturally referring to grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven origin powerhouses.


    Yang Qing stopped talking.


    He did not know what he should say.


    Posturing, he got slapped in the face again!


    Yang Qing was very strong. He could be said to be the number one genius in all the heavens!


    But, although he comprehended origin now, when facing off against origin powerhouses, he would still fall far short.


    After all, his cultivation realm was placed there.


    But Ye Yuan was just middle Emperor Vast Heaven. This guy��s Dao sword was already powerful to such an extent?


    Didn��t that mean that as long as Ye Yuan was willing, he could cross a major cultivation realm and kill an origin powerhouse at the expense of being seriously injured?


    This �� was too terrifying!


    Of course, Ye Yuan��s Dao sword only had the power of one strike.


    But even so, it was much stronger than him comprehending two origins at the same time!


    ��Do you still want people to live or not?�� Yang Qing was like a deflated leather ball and had no more temper.


    ��I don��t want to posture. So why do you have to force me every time?�� Ye Yuan said helplessly.

 Chapter 3066 - The Dust Settles!

    Ancestor Endless slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pondering look.


    With 18 years of comprehension, he reaped great benefits!


    Compared to when he came, his strength grew significantly!


    ��The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings are indeed unfathomable! But sadly, I��m not Old Man Heavenless�� match. Otherwise, I��d definitely snatch the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings away!�� Ancestor Endless said with vicissitudes of emotion.


    Ancestor Profound Ice said with a cold snort, ��Do you really think that Old Man Heavenless is so kind? His thoughts are hard to guess in the first place. You don��t know what he wants to do at all!��


    Ancestor Endless sighed and said, ��Yes, but what choice do we have? It��s just that I don��t know who can have such a good life, to obtain the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.��


    Ancestor Burning Sky looked in Kong Tan��s direction and said with a smile, ��This kid originally thought that he��d definitely win. But he didn��t expect the soul race lass to interject halfway, right? It seems like his Dao heart is currently a little unstable!��


    Kong Tan reached the heaven in one step and was the first to break through the shackles of Hegemon Realm.


    He originally thought that he had secured the first place.


    But he did not expect that Cloudneon was even more monstrous than him!


    In a short 18 years, Cloudneon actually directly broke through from Peak Hegemon to Supreme Hegemon!


    The Kong Tan instantly felt tremendous pressure.


    In these 18 years, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, desperately comprehending the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    However, Cloudneon visualized the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings step-by-step, developing the origin of dream to the extreme.


    The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings were all-encompassing, deriving Heavenly Dao. To the Cloud Dream Soul Physique, it was absolutely a priceless treasure.


    Ancestor Endless said, ��The young are to be feared! Kong Tan and the soul race lass, their comprehension ability is truly terrifying! However, with Yang Qing and Ye Yuan two people��s comprehension ability, they shouldn��t have faded into the crowd? Could it be that they were held back by some other matters? No, wait, what could be more important than visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    Ancestor Profound Ice said coolly, ��Fading into the crowd is also not impossible! Back then, the few of us weren��t top folks in the Labyrinth Divine Palace too. But in the end, it was us who became the 12 Heavenly Kings! Kong Tan, Yu Ran, and Qin Baichuan, these juniors are descendants of pedigree ancestry. There��s nothing strange about thick accumulations erupting. Being in the lead for a short while doesn��t mean forever taking the lead.��


    When the other two heard that, they felt that it made sense too.


    The most important thing in the Labyrinth Divine Palace was naturally the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Heavenless�� inheritance, this kind of temptation was not what the average person could resist.


    How could Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, that sort of lousy place, possibly produce any world-shocking genius?


    Above the void, the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings suddenly extinguished, becoming one red-green jade scroll after another.


    Everyone stopped breathing. They knew that the most crucial moment had arrived!


    The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings had clearly already found the person that they acknowledged!


    The greatest reward for this trip to the Labyrinth Divine Palace was here!


    Who would obtain all of Ancestor Heavenless�� legacy?


    This reward was much better than obtaining whatever chaos heavenly treasure.


    ��You guys, who do you think will obtain the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    ��It��s definitely Kong Tan, right? Among so many geniuses, his improvement is clearly the biggest!��


    ��That soul race Hegemon Realm is also monstrous to the extreme! Peak Hegemon to Supreme Hegemon, this step is as difficult as ascending to heaven. She actually crossed it so easily.��


    ��There are also Feng Qingxuan and Yu Ran. They are not bad at all either! No one knows what the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings�� benchmark is, no?��


    ��Indeed, there��s really this possibility! Don��t know who can become this trip��s child of destiny!��


    �� ��


    Kong Tan clenched both hands tightly, his breathing somewhat ragged. Clearly, he was rather nervous.


    The other young geniuses were pretty much the same as him.


    Although their hope was not as high as Kong Tan��s, they did not know what the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings�� criterion was either.


    Who knew whether or not they would be hit by the meat pie that fell from the sky?


    Compared to them, Cloudneon seemed much more composed.


    Breaking through to Supreme Hegemon, she was already very satisfied.


    Suddenly, a streak of green light flew out of the 12 pieces of red-green jade scrolls respectively.


    After the green light appeared, it converged in the air.


    Everyone��s heart was nervous to the extreme.


    In the crowd, there were two people who stood aloof from things of no personal interest.


    These two people were naturally Ye Yuan and Yang Qing.


    Two years ago, they broke out of the ��Heaven�� scroll.


    In these two years, they turned these side-halls inside out, and sure enough, they found another three lambskin scrolls!


    Counting the ��Heaven�� scroll, Ye Yuan had obtained four Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    12 Heavenly Dao Paintings in their order were: Heaven, Earth, Universe, Aeon, Sun, Moon, Star, Man, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.


    The changes of all things in heaven and earth were generally speaking within these 12 Heavenly Daos!


    And these three Heavenly Dao paintings that Ye Yuan obtained, they were respectively the Sun scroll, Universe scroll, and Winter scroll!


    ��Ye Yuan, who do you think will obtain the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings�� recognition?�� Yang Qing asked.


    Ye Yuan thought about it and said, ��It should be Kong Tan.��


    Yang Qing said in surprise, ��I even thought that you��d definitely say Cloudneon!��


    Ye Yuan said, ��I��m just guessing. Talking about comprehension ability, Cloudneon is only stronger than Kong Tan and not weaker. But her cultivation realm is too high. Her improvement is limited. Meanwhile Kong Tan ascended to heaven, stepping into Hegemon Realm from middle Emperor Sakra Heaven in one step! His current strength can probably already rival Peak Hegemons! In comparison, his potential is clearly a little higher.��


    Yang Qing nodded and said, ��Now that you said it, it��s indeed the case.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��But I feel that no matter who the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings acknowledge, it will all be in vain in the end. Cloudneon is still alright. Her temperament is cold. She��ll remain indifferent when granted favors or being subjected to humiliation. But if it��s Kong Tan, his heart will probably shatter all over the floor.��


    When Yang Qing heard that, a hint of a smile could not help appearing in the corners of his mouth.


    Looking at this guy feeling deflated seemed to be pretty good too.


    At this time, the green light descended!


    It fell from the sky like a comet.


    Boom!


    That green light directly smashed onto Kong Tan��s body.


    The dust was settled!


    Kong Tan only felt that there was an additional trace of inexplicable connection between him and those 12 red-green scrolls.


    He was immediately wildly ecstatic in his heart!


    ��Hahaha �� It��s indeed me! Indeed me! This time, it��s finally me who had the last laugh! Ye Yuan, Yang Qing, Hegemon Cloudneon, do you guys see it? The one who has the last laugh is the real winner! You all are my, Kong Tan��s, stepping stone!�� Kong Tan let out a wild laugh as he said.


    Defeating Cloudneon, he had indescribable joy in his heart!


    The nervousness of more than a decade was all dispersed at this moment.


    He felt that he was going to step at the peak of all the heavens and look down on all life!


    Feng Qingxuan, Yu Ran, and the rest all revealed looks of disappointment.


    A miracle indeed did not happen!


    ��Sigh, I didn��t expect that Hegemon Cloudneon actually lost to Kong Tan! I feel that her talent is only stronger and not weaker than Kong Tan!��


    ��Isn��t that so! With this, the fiend race is really going to rise up!��


    ��Kong Tan obtained the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings and Ancestor Heavenless�� inheritance. His future accomplishments will probably be above Progenitor Kong Nie��s!��


    �� ��


    The dust settling, everyone could only use envious gazes to size Kong Tan up.

 Chapter 3067 - The Show is Just Starting!

    ��Congratulations! Congratulations! Fellow Daoist Kong Tan attained Dao overnight! In the future, we can only look up to you!��


    Hegemon Yun Shang came forward and clasped his hands at Kong Tan.


    There was an uproar!


    Hegemon Yun Shang this kind of Supreme Hegemon, actually took the initiative to build friendly relations with Kong Tan!


    Not just him, many Peak Hegemons and Supreme Hegemons all went up and congratulated Kong Tan.


    Meanwhile Kong Tan replied to them one by one.


    All the glory gathering onto one entity; this was how it was!


    He obtained the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings and became the son of destiny.


    Very soon, he shall even obtain all of Hegemon Heavenless�� inheritance. His future accomplishments would be immeasurable.


    In fact, he might even become the second Hegemon Heavenless!


    With this kind of future, no one dared to ignore him.


    Building a relationship at this time was naturally no big deal.


    At this very moment, there was already nobody who had doubts about Heavenless�� motives.


    Even the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings were released. The powerhouses from all heavens made tremendous progress in these 18 years.


    Everyone could not think why someone who had ulterior motives would go through so much effort to improve everyone��s strength.


    Therefore, everyone thought that Heavenless had long already fallen.


    Opening the Labyrinth Divine Palace was just to look for a successor.


    ��Humph! These 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings are really blind, to actually choose that kid! In terms of talent, you��re much stronger than him!�� A Nirvanic Soul Clan Hegemon said unhappily.


    He felt unjust for Cloudneon!


    Cloudneon��s talent was clearerly stronger than Kong Tan��s. In the end, the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings actually picked Kong Tan!


    Was this comparing advancing realms?


    Cloudneon was indifferent and said coolly, ��Lucky chances, it��s naturally obtained by those who are fated. These 12 Hegemon Paintings naturally have their own rules. It can��t be forced. Moreover, it��s already very remarkable that I could break through to Supreme Hegemon. This kind of lucky chance isn��t what anyone can have.��


    The Nirvanic Soul Clan Hegemon nodded and said, ��Yeah, this way, our Nirvanic Soul Clan will have two great Supreme Hegemons! If Hegemon Samsara doesn��t come out, we can sufficiently crush the Qi Soul Clan!��


    Kong Tan��s gaze also glanced towards this time, very unhappy.


    This soul race actually dared to not come and congratulate!


    The winner becomes king and the loser an outlaw!


    Since the soul race lost, then they had to bow their heads in submission.


    This bunch of guys was actually so haughty!


    After this seat achieves Great Beyond, I��ll definitely teach you all a lesson!


    Also, Ye Yuan and Yang Qing, heh heh, weren��t you guys showing off earlier?


    Very soon, this seat will bring the fiend race army and trample Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    Presently, he was really looking forward to Ancestor Heavenless�� inheritance.


    This kind of heaven-shocking major figure, if one could inherit all of his mantle, what a wonderful thing that would be!


    Suddenly, he glimpsed the Ye Yuan and Yang Qing in the crowd, and he immediately grinned.


    ��The two of you, come over!�� Kong Tan pointed at Ye Yuan and said with a tone that allowed no questioning.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Want to posture? Come yourself!��


    Kong Tan��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Ye Yuan, the winner becomes king. No matter how breathtaking your and Yang Qing��s performances were previously, it can��t change the reality of being losers too! You dare to be disrespectful to this seat. This�� is courting death!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Is that so? Congratulations to you then.��


    Very insincere!


    It looked more like sarcasm!


    The powerhouses present all shook their heads, secretly sighing at Ye Yuan��s unwise move.


    Regarding Kong Tan finding Ye Yuan, everyone knew that he was posturing, to regain face from before.


    Although Kong Tan��s performance had always been stunning, how could such a genius be willing to submit to others?


    Forget about Kong Tan. If it were Yu Ran, Qin Baichuan, and the rest, if they attained Dao overnight, they would definitely regain face too.


    Ye Yuan was not even willing to lower his head at this time.


    Got to admit, he was courting death!


    Kong Tan had already obtained the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings. He would obtain Ancestor Heavenless�� inheritance very soon.


    Even if Ye Yuan was hiding inside the ��Heaven�� formation, it was useless too!


    ��I thought that two dark horses were going to emerge this time. Didn��t expect that they were so useless!��


    ��Yeah, other people��s strength all advanced by leaps and bounds. They practically did not improve much.��


    ��Forget about dropping the ball at the critical moment; but to actually not even recognize how capable they are, this is courting death!��


    �� ��


    Visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings this time, virtually everyone��s strength soared.


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing two people appeared somewhat glaring to the eyes.


    Therefore, they naturally became idiots in other people��s eyes.


    However, the two of them clearly did not have this self-awareness.


    Kong Tan��s face became black as the bottom of a pot. Only to see him snort coldly and casually thrust a palm out.


    The strength of a Hegemon Realm erupted fully!


    During these 18 years, Kong Tan��s strength improved greatly.


    The power of this palm was absolutely not beneath Peak Hegemons!


    He had the intention of using Ye Yuan and Yang Qing to establish awe.


    Some people shook their heads. Some were disdainful. Some gloated over others�� misfortune.


    All in all, they all thought that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.


    However, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yuan. Only to wave her hand casually, that powerful palm of Kong Tan��s directly dissipated with the wind.


    It was Cloudneon!


    But on the other side, Feng Qingxuan secretly stomped her feet.


    ��Damn it. This woman beat me to it!��


    When in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Feng Qingxuan already knew about Cloudneon. Furthermore, Ye Yuan was very close to her.


    Therefore, she naturally felt a sense of urgency.


    Furthermore, Cloudneon��s talent was even greater than hers. This time, she actually broke through to Supreme Hegemon!


    Kong Tan��s expression turned cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Why? Does your soul race want to become enemies with this seat? You should understand what kind of existence you��re facing!��


    Cloudneon said coolly, ��You can think whatever you want. But you can��t kill him!��


    Kong Tan��s face turned black. How embarrassing!


    This woman was courting death!


    He snorted coldly and said, ��Very good, this seat has remembered it! On the day this seat breaks through to Great Beyond, it will be when your Nirvanic Soul Clan bears this seat��s wrath! All the best to you!��


    He could not bear the sight of Cloudneon and Ye Yuan.


    Since he could not bear looking at them, they could die!


    Suddenly, a figure condensed and formed above the void. It was precisely Heavenless!


    ��Ancestor Heavenless has appeared!��


    ��He��s going to impart his skill! Sigh, really envy Kong Tan!��


    ��I wonder what Ancestor Heavenless�� inheritance is like!��


    �� ��


    When Ancestor Heavenless showed himself, everyone was very excited.


    This was the moment that everyone looked forward to, although it had nothing to do with them.


    But witnessing this moment was also pretty good!


    Kong Tan��s face went from being overcast to bright, changing to a smiling face as he went to greet.


    Cloudneon arrived next to Ye Yuan and said coolly, ��You don��t seem worried at all?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Didn��t you take action? What am I worried about?��


    Cloudneon said, ��You know that I��m not referring to this.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The show is just starting!��


    Cloudneon��s brows furrowed, clearly not understanding what Ye Yuan was referring to.


    In her view, the overall situation had already been decided.


    As for Kong Tan��s revenge, she did not care.


    The Dao enlightenment this time, she had benefited greatly from it.


    Maybe when Kong Tan became a Great Beyond powerhouse, she would be able to step into Great Beyond too.


    The Cloud Dream Soul Physique was no joke!


    Except, why did Ye Yuan say that the show was just starting?


    ��Oh, right, haven��t congratulated you for becoming Supreme Hegemon!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Cloudneon still remained indifferent whether granted favors or was subjected to humiliation. She said nonchalantly, ��There��s nothing to congratulate. When conditions are ripe, success will follow.��

 Chapter 3068 - Repeated Unforeseen Events!

    ��Paying respect to Master! Many thanks for Master��s grace of inheritance. Kong Tan will definitely inherit your great cause!��


    Kong Tan greeted Ancestor Heavenless and knelt down respectfully.


    Everyone looked at him, incomparably envious.


    Ancestor Heavenless stood with his hands behind his back. Even if it was just a phantom, he also made everyone look up to him.


    His gaze did not fall on Kong Tan but passed through the crowd and looked over towards Ye Yuan.


    ��Ye Yuan, are you willing to become this ancestor��s successor?�� Heavenless looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly.


    Mn?


    What was Ancestor Heavenless talking about?


    Everyone was absentminded and did not react to it for some time.


    The person the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings acknowledged, was it not Kong Tan?


    Why did Ancestor Heavenless ask Ye Yuan?


    Was there something that was mistaken?


    Kong Tan��s entire person was petrified on the stop, being stunned by this sudden turn of events.


    ��What the hell? Why did Ancestor Heavenless ask Ye Yuan?��


    ��Isn��t he a good-for-nothing? Even if it��s really a mistake, there are still many people to choose from. Why did he pick Ye Yuan?��


    ��Could it be that Ancestor Heavenless has died for too long and became muddleheaded with age?��


    �� . .


    After a brief silence, there was an uproar.


    Everyone��s gazes looked toward Ye Yuan, full of incomprehensibility.


    They did not understand why Ye Yuan, who already faded into the crowd, suddenly became the center of everyone again.


    Even Ancestor Endless and the rest also had dumbfounded faces.


    ��This old man is muddleheaded, right? Putting so many geniuses aside, he wants to pick a good-for-nothing to be his successor?�� Endless said in confusion.


    ��If he picks Ye Yuan, then wouldn��t what he said before become bullshit?�� Hegemon Burning Sky also said in puzzlement.


    Cloudneon looked at Ye Yuan with a strange look but discovered that the latter similarly had a struck senseless look. She immediately felt relieved.


    It turned out that this guy also had something that he could not predict!


    Ever since knowing Ye Yuan, she discovered that he had always acted after planning things out. It seemed like nothing could escape his control.


    He was clearly very weak but could always play a role to the fullest.


    With regards to this friend, she viewed him in a different light.


    Even if it was a moment ago, Ye Yuan looked like he had ready plans to meet any situation too.


    But now, he was stunned!


    Mn, seemed pretty good too.


    Ye Yuan really did not expect that Ancestor Endless would suddenly ask this.


    But very soon, his brows knitted together.


    This was a very bad omen!


    ��Are you going to take action?�� Ye Yuan replied with a question.


    Heavenless smiled and said with a nod, ��You��re very clever!��


    ��Then are you dead now or still alive?�� Ye Yuan asked again.


    ��You can say dead; you can also say alive,�� Heavenless answered again.


    Ye Yuan frowned and asked again, ��I��m very curious. How did you place the Labyrinth Divine Palace into the Eternal River!��


    ��You actually detected it!�� This time, Heavenless�� face also revealed a look of surprise.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��I detected it from the moment I entered.��


    Heavenless smiled and said, ��This ancestor indeed didn��t judge wrongly! You might very likely reach this ancestor��s height in the future!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��I��m a divergent cultivator.��


    Heavenless said, ��So what if you��re a divergent cultivator? My generation��s cultivators, which one doesn��t go against cultivation? Nobody has ever survived in the Eternal River. Didn��t this ancestor survive too? Becoming my successor, there can only be one in the world! How can you sweep across the world by learning from other people��s footsteps?��


    A hint of surprise flashed across in Ye Yuan��s eyes.


    It was still his first time hearing that someone did not care about his identity as a divergent cultivator.


    This Ancestor Heavenless was really different from the rest.


    Ye Yuan could feel his heroic spirit.


    That kind of looking down at the world, not even putting Heaven in his sights.


    It was also precisely because of this that he dared to resist all the heavens with the power of one sect, right?


    Although defeated, it was a glorious death!


    Ye Yuan and Heavenless�� conversation did not make any sense. People did not understand what was going on.


    The powerhouses of all heavens were like a bunch of fools.


    As if the only clear-headed people present were Ye Yuan and Ancestor Heavenless.


    Ancestor Heavenless was a clear-headed person, but what right did Ye Yuan have?


    However, they also discerned it. It seemed like the place that they were in was actually the Eternal River?


    This realm was actually located in the Eternal River?


    The whole audience was in an uproar!


    ��This place is actually in the Eternal River?��


    ��This is impossible! How can a world possibly be hidden in the Eternal River?��


    ��Ancestor Heavenless�� strength is exceedingly formidable. If he survived in the Eternal River, forget it. But how can he possibly hide the entire Labyrinth Divine Palace inside the Eternal River?��


    ��What on earth does this guy want to do?��


    �� . .


    The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.


    Ancestor Heavenless�� eyes revealed a hint of disdain. What a bunch of idiots!


    How unparalleledly talented was this ancestor?


    Even if he died, he would also have to die in a blaze of glory. How could he possibly impart his skill to others?


    Everything in this world, he knew it like the palm of his hand.


    The world was drunk. Only Ye Yuan alone was awake!


    This boy never believed in whatever inheritance from start to end.


    He came here simply to fish for benefits.


    When those Supreme Hegemons, Great Beyond powerhouses, were fighting for the 12 Hegemon Paintings, only Ye Yuan was unmoved.


    Furthermore, this boy��s luck was unbelievably good. He could actually find four Heavenly Dao paintings!


    In the end, he was the biggest winner!


    ��M-Master, didn��t you say that as long as I obtain the recognition of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, I��ll be able to inherit everything of yours?�� Kong Tan panicked.


    Heavenless looked at Kong Tan like looking at a fool and said, ��What kind of character is this ancestor? Why would I need some disciples? Inherit this ancestor��s mantle? Hur hur, you��re really a toad lusting after swan meat!��


    ��But �� But what about Ye Yuan?�� Kong Tan felt like his brain was eaten by a dog.


    Drawing water with a sieve; it was all for naught!


    In the end, he was actually toyed in circles by people!


    Heavenless said coolly, ��He��s different from you!��


    In the crowd, Hu Gaoshan suddenly stood up and walked toward Ye Yuan.


    It was just that at this time, Hu Gaoshan��s disposition became like a different person from before!


    Ye Yuan looked at Hu Gaoshan, who was walking over head-on, and could not help palpitating with anxiety and fear.


    Cloudneon, who was next to him, her eyes also turned intent, her entire body going on full alert, akin to facing a great enemy!


    Hu Gaoshan arrived before Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Heavenly Saint Ye, can you hand over the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings in your hands to me for safeguarding?��


    He looked at Ye Yuan quietly just like that, not caring about the Cloudneon who was beside him as well, as if doing something very ordinary.


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted. Only he and Yang Qing, two people, knew about the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    If there was another, it would be Heavenless!


    But Hu Gaoshan actually knew too!


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and had his eyes glued on Hu Gaoshan. He already knew his identity.


    ��I really didn��t expect that the exalted Hegemon Samsara was actually hiding right next to me!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    ��What? H-Hegemon Samsara?��


    ��Ye Yuan has lost his mind, right? Hegemon Samsara is mysterious and hard to fathom. How can he possibly appear here?��


    ��This guy is merely Emperor Vast Heaven. How can he possibly be Hegemon Samsara?��


    ��No, wait, aren��t the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings in the sky? Why would it be at Ye Yuan there?��


    �� . .


    One stone stirred up a thousand ripples!


    In this short 15 minutes time, there were really repeated unforeseen events, making everyone unable to take it all in.


    Hu Gaoshan looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Old Man Heavenless is right. You��re really very smart!��

 Chapter 3069 - Each Harboring Ulterior Motives, An Explosive Situation!

    ��Hand the Heavenly Dao Paintings to me. This ancestor can take you in as a disciple! Old Man Heavenless is half-dead. He can��t prevail! You have the Enshrouding Mist Soul Physique. This ancestor can let you be reborn anew and reach the Great Beyond!��


    Hu Gaoshan did not deny his identity but also wanted to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple instead.


    For a moment, everyone was stunned.


    Two great overlords, the strongest two great Hegemons of eternity, actually wanted to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple at the same time!


    No matter what they were after, with just these words being uttered, it was sufficient to prove Ye Yuan��s monstrousness.


    Meanwhile, Kong Tan had already completely become air.


    The glory previously had long already been shattered all over the ground.


    There was only him and Heavenless above the sky.


    He was kneeling on the ground, not knowing what to do.


    Unable to leave nor stay, so awkward.


    Luckily, there was already no one paying attention to him now. Everyone was dumbstruck with amazement by the sudden turn of events that came back-to-back.


    Everyone��s attention was focused on Ye Yuan.


    They were all waiting for Ye Yuan��s choice.


    ��Hur hur, there��s no problem handing it over to you. It��s just that �� someone else probably won��t agree to it!�� Ye Yuan said with a light smile.


    Take him in as a disciple?


    Huhu!


    He, Ye Yuan, was not a fool!


    Hegemon Samsara turned into Hu Gaoshan and schemed for a long time by his side. This kind of person, how could Ye Yuan possibly hand the Heavenly Dao Paintings over to him?


    Ye Yuan was originally banking on the fact that Hegemon Samsara could come forward now that the 33 Heavens were met with a calamity.


    But now, through Hegemon Samsara��s various actions and conduct, he made a judgment on his character.


    During the havoc of the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then, Hegemon Samsara only came forward at the last moment too.


    With his strength, why did he not come forward earlier?


    Now, being met with the disaster of the blood race, Hegemon Samsara was similarly quiet and motionless.


    Hegemon Samsara reincarnated into hundreds of millions and comprehended on the Dao of Samsara.


    Ye Yuan did not believe that this level of existence would not detect the blood race��s unusual movement.


    But he did not take any action!


    What did this show?


    This showed that Hegemon Samsara was a selfish person!


    This time, he was clearly aiming for the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Then what about the havoc of the Labyrinth Divine Palace the previous time?


    Was his goal the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings to begin with?


    Highly probable!


    This kind of person, you were hoping that he could fight to the death with the Chaos Bloodstone for the 33 Heavens?


    Impossible!


    Giving the Heavenly Dao Paintings to him might not be a good thing!


    ��Haha, you��re talking about Heavenless that old ghost? This ancestor doesn��t take him seriously yet!�� Hegemon Samsara said coolly.


    ��I��m not talking about him.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze swept across the crowd and he said coolly, ��Still not coming out? If the Heavenly Dao Paintings get snatched away by this guy, you��ll gain nothing good out of it!��


    Everyone had blank looks, uncertain what it meant.


    But right at this time, a figure appeared like a ghost. It was a blue-robed youth.


    Ye Yuan had an impression of this person. He was a member of the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven army too.


    He did not expect that these two guys were actually both hiding in his squad!


    However, when he saw the blue-robed youth, Ye Yuan��s pupils could not help constricting.


    The blue-robed youth smiled strangely, and he said, ��Looks like you��ve already discovered it! Got to admit, among these guys, the one that this progenitor thinks the most highly of is you!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart sank.


    This blue-robed youth was naturally the Chaos Bloodstone.


    However, at this time, the blue-robed youth did not deliberately suppress his origin of blood. Ye Yuan had detected it.


    This blue-robed youth was not Blood One, Blood Two they all.


    This guy was a fused body!


    This was also to say that the blue-robed youth was the combined body of several bloodstone clones!


    This guy��s strength was unfathomable!


    Samsara��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��Didn��t expect that you came too! Looks like you��re aiming for the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings too!��


    The blue-robed youth smiled sinisterly and charmingly as he said, ��This kind of precious treasure that was born in the Eternal River, who won��t be moved? Ye Yuan, you have a trace of this progenitor��s origin of blood. As long as you hand the Heavenly Dao Paintings over to this progenitor, this progenitor can guarantee that you��ll only have one person above you and everyone else under you! In these 33 Heavens, nobody will be able to shake your status!��


    ��It��s the blood race��s progenitor! This blue-robed youth is actually the blood race��s progenitor!��


    ��What capability does Ye Yuan have to actually make these three great overlords show favor to him at the same time?��


    ��Also, what are the Heavenly Dao Paintings that they are talking about? Could it be that those red-green jade scrolls are actually the Heavenly Dao Paintings? Then what did we comprehend?��


    �� . .


    The crowd instantly burst into an uproar.


    Many people did not know about the existence of the Chaos Bloodstone, and so they addressed him as the blood race��s progenitor.


    Of course, there was no reason to know.


    It was just that, Heavenless, Samsara, Blood Progenitor, these three great overlords, could be said to be the apex of the 33 Heavens already.


    These three great overlords actually tossed out an olive branch to Ye Yuan at the same time!


    Ye Yuan��s weight in these three people��s hearts could be seen.


    In comparison, Kong Tan was simply weak to the max!


    What was laughable was that he previously actually still thought that he had already obtained it and wanted to harm Ye Yuan.


    Thinking about it now, it was really laughable to the extreme!


    At this time, Samsara said coolly, ��Ye Yuan, that lover of yours seems to already have a part of her divine soul enter samsara, right? In the heavens above and below the ground, only this ancestor can find her! Do you want to consider it?��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, looking at Hegemon Samsara with a look of shock.


    He actually even knew about this!


    Hegemon Samsara was really too scary!


    This guy had god knows how many clones!


    Furthermore, there were not many who knew that Mu Lingxue existed. It looked like this clone even had a considerable connection to him!


    Seeing Ye Yuan��s agitated expression, the blue-robed youth knew in his mind that things were not good.


    He snorted coldly and directly grabbed at Ye Yuan.


    A formidable to the extreme power of origin completely locked onto Ye Yuan.


    He could not even move a muscle.


    Ye Yuan was horrified in his heart. Was this the superlative of power?


    Too strong!


    When Hegemon Samsara saw the situation, how could he be willing to yield?


    Similarly, he also grabbed toward Ye Yuan.


    Samsara origin erupting, it was actually not the least bit weaker than the blue-robed youth!


    No one could have expected that a puny little Hu Gaoshan actually erupted with such terrifying strength!


    Ye Yuan shouted madly in his heart: damn it, Old Man Heavenless, why haven��t you made a move?


    Sure enough, right at the same time when the two people erupted, Heavenless also erupted!


    It was only to see him reach his hand out and beckon. Ye Yuan��s figure instantly disappeared from where he originally was.


    Boom!


    A large hole was directly blasted out at the place where Ye Yuan was standing.


    Hitting thin air, the two people��s expressions were very ugly.


    Ancestor Heavenless snorted coldly and said, ��These 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, it can land in whoever��s hands, but it can��t land in your hands! Moreover, you guys are very arrogant! Have you forgotten whose territory this place belongs to?��


    Samsara snorted coldly and said, ��Old Man Heavenless, in your half-dead state, what can you do to me?��


    The blue-robed youth also smiled and said, ��Heavenless, now isn��t your era anymore! Go in peace, leave the 33 Heavens to this progenitor!��


    When Heavenless heard that, he let out a wild laugh and said, ��Hahaha �� You guys are also too naive! The two of you are merely clones; that��s all! To also dare act wildly in front of this ancestor! Haven��t you guys always been guessing what this ancestor��s goal of opening up the Labyrinth Divine Palace is for? Now, I��ll let you all witness the plan that this ancestor has been preparing for several hundred thousand years!��

 Chapter 3070 - Transforming into Chaos!

    ��Extreme Dao True Fire, arise!��


    Boom!


    Heavenless spread out both arms. Flames that covered the sky filled the entire Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    Terrifying fire tongues danced wildly in the space.


    ��Ahh, ahhh!��


    A group of people who were slightly weaker was directly swallowed up by the fire tongues, emitting shrill screams.


    They did not die immediately but were burned by the true fire!


    Meanwhile the people who were not engulfed, they avoided those flame tongues crazily.


    Hegemon Samsara and the blue-robed youth were originally somewhat apprehensive. But, seeing these flames, they immediately revealed a hint of disdainful expression.


    ��Hur hur, I was wondering what trump card. It turned out that it��s this? This fire is too weak!�� Hegemon Samsara casually pushed a cluster of flames aside and said coolly.


    The blue-robed youth smiled and said, ��Ancestor Heavenless, you��re old! Go in peace. This bit of cultivation base can��t trap us!��


    Not just them, Ancestor Endless and the rest, even those Supreme Hegemons, turned their noses up at this.


    The power of this flame was too weak!


    But Ye Yuan��s expression changed drastically. He detected a trace of a different aura.


    ��What? This flame isn��t powerful, right?�� Cloudneon asked.


    Ye Yuan said with a solemn expression, ��This scene �� looks somewhat like refining pills!��


    Cloudneon��s brows shot up, and she said in surprise, ��Refining pills? Using so many living people to refine pills?��


    Ye Yuan said with a look of shock, ��That��s right! I think I understand what he��s trying to do! This guy is really too crazy!��


    ��Hahaha �� You brat, you can really be described using wise and farsighted! I really can��t hide anything from you! That��s right, this seat opened up the Labyrinth Divine Palace and let the geniuses from all heavens come in, and even brought out the fake 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings of my lifetime comprehension to let all of you visualize and gain enlightenment, improving your strength, it��s for the sake of refining a Chaos Heavenly Pill that no one has never refined! The stronger you all are, the greater the medicinal effect of this Chaos Heavenly Pill! This seat wants to corroborate my Dao with this pill and transcend the Great Beyond!�� Ancestor Heavenless let out a loud laugh and said.


    ��What? He �� He wants to use us to refine pills? This �� This ����


    Kong Tan was not far away from Ancestor Heavenless. He could hear these words clearly.


    It was seriously too shocking!


    There was actually someone who would do something so crazy!


    He thought that he had swept across his peers and obtained Ancestor Heavenless�� recognition; he could look forward to the future.


    But only until now did he know that he was a complete and utter idiot!


    Ancestor Heavenless never looked him in the eye before!


    In comparison, Ancestor Heavenless said that he wanted to take Ye Yuan in as a disciple previously. That was to give him a chance to survive!


    The disparity between the two people was really like heaven and earth!


    ��Argh! I don��t want to be refined in a heavenly pill! I want to charge out!��


    ��No way! I can��t die here! I��m going to break this world and leave the Labyrinth Divine Palace!��


    ��Hurry up and go! Can��t sit here and resign ourselves to our doom!��


    �� . .


    The powerhouses of all heavens fell into madness.


    They desperately wanted to charge out.


    Except, how could they charge out?


    ��Hahaha �� Escape? Where can you all escape? This seat turned into chaos and refined the Labyrinth Divine World into a huge pill refining furnace! All of you are merely inside the pill refining furnace! Or should I say, you all are inside this ancestor��s body! Without this ancestor��s agreement, which of you can go out?�� Heavenless said with a loud laugh.


    Ye Yuan also had a look of shock as he listened.


    This Ancestor Heavenless was really a complete and utter madman!


    He actually completely turned himself and this world into a part of chaos.


    No wonder he could survive in the Eternal River!


    Ye Yuan also understood why he said that he was alive and also dead.


    Ancestor Heavenless could not leave the Eternal River at all.


    But he made use of the Eternal River to open a passageway to all the heavens, and he then attracted countless geniuses and major powerhouses into the Labyrinth Divine Palace!


    Disregarding other things, no one could stop the temptation of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!


    It looked like Ancestor Heavenless was really forced into a desperate situation back then. Otherwise, he would not have resorted to this plan too.


    Corroborating his Dao with alchemy, how similar was this to him refining the Dao Defying Pill back then?


    Turning the tables in a desperate situation!


    Facing the sun and being born in adversity!


    It was just that his method was seriously too cruel!


    Of course, Ye Yuan also did not expect that Ancestor Heavenless was actually also such a terrifying chaos heavenly master.


    ��Extreme Dao True Fire, start again! Refine for me!��


    Heavenless roared loudly. The power of the Extreme Dao True Fire directly rose significantly.


    With this, those Hegemons could not hold out anymore too.


    There were a few Hegemons who were slightly inattentive and were directly wrapped up by the true fire. They could not even escape.


    Miserable cries lingered on incessantly.


    The aura of despair was spreading!


    ��Kid, this ancestor will give you another chance. Do you want to become this ancestor��s disciple? After this ancestor unifies the 33 Heavens and kills Samsara that old dog, you��ll be the number one person under this ancestor! This kind of glory isn��t what anyone has the chance to enjoy!�� Heavenless said.


    Clearly, he was moved by his love for geniuses.


    However, Ye Yuan was unmoved and shook his head and said, ��I��m sorry. I already have a teacher. I won��t change lineages in this lifetime!��


    Ancestor Heavenless said with a cold snort, ��In these 33 Heavens, who is more qualified than this ancestor to be your master? With your cultivation base, even if it��s ordinary Hegemon Realms, they can��t teach you anything anymore, right?��


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��My master is just a Peak Hegemon, but he��s more qualified to be my master than you! You all, these supreme powerhouses, are all self-centered people. Why would you really have the intention to accept a disciple? If I didn��t guess wrongly, you��re probably very apprehensive of me, right? Taking me in as a disciple is merely to lock me by your side and to not give me a chance to surpass you! I wonder if I��m right?��


    By the side, Cloudneon, Feng Qingxuan, and the rest all revealed looks of surprise.


    This answer was really surprising to them.


    Ancestor Heavenless laughed loudly and said, ��Kid, you��re also thinking too highly of yourself! Why would this ancestor fear you, a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven?��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, ��You transformed into chaos and refined the Labyrinth Divine World into a huge pill furnace! You��re strong, very strong. You can even trap Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone��s clones. But unfortunately, you know that you can��t trap me! Because what I cultivate is also the Eternal River��s chaos! If I didn��t guess wrongly, my appearance should be something that you didn��t expect. You also didn��t expect that after several hundred thousand years, there��s actually a brat who similarly cultivated the Eternal River��s chaos!��


    Ancestor Heavenless�� complexion gradually turned dark.


    This boy��s intellect was close to monstrous!


    Really, nothing could be hidden from him!


    His thoughts were actually guessed not far off the mark by him!


    Starting from when Ye Yuan appeared in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he was shocked.


    In this world, other than him, how could there be someone who cultivated the Eternal River��s chaos as well?


    Although the two of their Daos were very different, without a doubt, Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence was pure to the extreme!


    He transformed into chaos. Actually, it was blazing another trail to integrate as one with the Eternal River.


    Then he was using the Eternal River��s power to go and kill someone who cultivated the Eternal River��s chaos?


    This was impossible!

 Chapter 3071 - Checks and Balance!

    Cloudneon, Feng Qingxuan, and the others who were by the side were all stunned!


    The exalted Ancestor Heavenly Emperor, one of the strongest major powers in the 33 Heavens since ancient times, was actually fearful of a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven!


    Such a thing was seriously too fantastical.


    The development of things was really full of twists and turns.


    It was just that no matter how it twisted, they also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually played such an important role in it.


    ��In that case, you��re going to be enemies with me?�� Heavenless�� expression gradually turned cold.


    No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, he was also merely an Emperor Vast Heaven.


    He was apprehensive of Ye Yuan but did not really take Ye Yuan seriously.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You want to see the light of day again. It has nothing to do with me. You want to transcend the Great Beyond, and it has nothing to do with me as well. However, these people that I brought, I��ll naturally be bringing them away too. In addition, my friends will be brought away too. Apart from these, do as you please.��


    Ye Yuan was just doing what ought to be done, he bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind, but he was not a goody-two-shoes.


    He knew that bringing everyone away was not too realistic.


    After all, his strength was limited.


    But, to let him watch Yang Qing, Feng Qingxuan, Cloudneon, these close friends court their death with his own eyes, he could not do it.


    This was true even if he was facing the three great overlords!


    Heavenless sneered and said, ��Ye Yuan, this ancestor is a little apprehensive of you, but aren��t you thinking too highly of yourself? It��s as easy as turning over my hand for this ancestor to kill you!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Don��t try that stuff with me, alright? If Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone didn��t come, it��s naturally easy for you to kill me. But now, the majority of your energy will have to be placed on them, right? Making a move against me will be equivalent to giving them an opportunity to exploit. Are you sure that �� you want to make a move against me?��


    Heavenless was virtually about to collapse!


    This brat was really hard to deal with!


    Heavenless thought that he had schemed against all the heavens, but he did not expect to be cornered by a little bastard!


    Boom!


    A loud noise!


    Suddenly, the void trembled.


    Heavenless�� expression changed, immediately disappearing.


    The swaying Labyrinth Divine Palace stabilized very quickly.


    Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone had joined forces!


    They were bombarding the space, trying to breach this world!


    Ordinary power was naturally unable to do it, but they could.


    These two people both grasped people at the end of the world and were terrifyingly strong!


    Although their true body did not come here, their strength similarly could not be underestimated.


    The two people joining hands, their strength could be seen at a glance!


    However, Heavenless was stronger!


    In the Eternal River, the power of chaos flowed in an endless stream. Heavenless could draw out the power of the chaos endlessly to repair the Labyrinth Divine World!


    It just depended on whether his speed of repair could match up to the speed of destruction!


    ��A bunch of fools, what are you still in a daze for? Everyone, attack one point with us! As long as we breach this world, everyone will have hope of escaping! Otherwise, you all can wait to die!�� the Chaos Bloodstone said with exasperation.


    Only then did everyone wake up from the dream.


    These Hegemon Realms and even Great Beyond Reams naturally could not be refined as and when you liked. This required a drawn-out process.


    Refining the Chaos Heavenly Pill was similarly a long process.


    Clearly, they still had the strength left to destroy the Labyrinth Divine World!


    ��Quickly! Attack!��


    ��Fight it out! Old Man Heavenless, this seat will find trouble with you!��


    ��Blood Progenitor, we��ll listen to you!��


    �� . .


    Powerhouses from all heavens gathered around the two overlords, preparing to attack the Labyrinth Divine World.


    Ancestor Endless, Ancestor Burning Sky, Ancestor Profound Ice, as well as Hegemon Yun Shang, these Supreme Hegemons, all came over.


    In order to survive, they put aside their animosity for the time being and joined hands to face the enemy.


    To such powerhouses, breaking through a world was a common thing.


    Except, this world was different. It was Ancestor Heavenless�� incarnation!


    The Chaos Bloodstone said in a solemn voice, ��Okay, I��ll count to three. Everyone will join forces to attack that point! This ancestor wants to see how strong this world is!��


    ��One!��


    ��Two!��


    All the Hegemon Realms, as well as the numerous origin realms, Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses, brought out their killing moves one after another.


    For a moment, the power of origin was torrential and grandiose above the void.


    ��Three!��


    Counting to three, a myriad of arrows was released simultaneously!


    A series of powers that was terrifying, until it made people feel suffocated, bombarded right onto a spatial node.


    Boom!


    The earth quaked and mountains swayed!


    That spatial node was directly caved in. The deformation was visible to the naked eye!


    Two great supremacies, three mighty Great Beyonds, as well as numerous Supreme Hegemons. This force was seriously too terrifying.


    No matter how strong Ancestor Heavenless was, it was impossible to be completely unscathed too.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were wildly ecstatic.


    They saw hope!


    But in the next second, everyone was petrified.


    This was because that space that dented in was recovering again at a speed visible to the naked eye!


    In merely a few breaths of time, everything returned to normal!


    ��H-How can this be? This recovery speed is also too fast!��


    ��The recovery ability is so strong. How can we possibly break through?��


    ��Ancestor Heavenless�� strength is also too strong, right?��


    ��Ahhh! Ahhh!��


    �� . .


    Some people finally could not endure it and were swallowed by the fire tongues!


    Everyone��s faces revealed a look of despair.


    The Chaos Bloodstone said in a solemn voice, ��All pulling a long face for? Continue attacking! Old Man Heavenless can quickly repair space by relying on the Eternal River��s chaos. But it��s not unlimited either! His repair speed will get slower and slower. It will depend on who can��t hold out first! Everyone, follow my orders and attack that nodal point just now again!��


    Far away, Ye Yuan, Yang Qing, including Cloudneon��s soul race and Feng Qingxuan��s true spirit race, they all did not take part.


    Compared to the Chaos Bloodstone, they trusted Ye Yuan more.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses also had quite a number of people that died.


    There were only over 30 thousand people who were still following Ye Yuan now. The numbers were still dwindling continuously.


    Seeing that the development of things was exactly the same as what Ye Yuan predicted. Their confidence in Ye Yuan was boosted!


    As long as there was Heavenly Saint Ye around, there was nothing that could not be resolved.


    Right now, the situation was already very clear.


    Ancestor Heavenless already had no time to spare for other things in order to maintain the stability of the Labyrinth Divine World.


    And Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone similarly would spare no efforts to attack in order to escape this world.


    At this time, many Hegemon Realms were tainted by many flame tongues on their bodies.


    This Extreme Dao True Fire did not look strong, but it was like bone-infesting maggots, corroding everyone.


    And the power of flames that the two great supremacies were enduring was clearly the strongest!


    The others were merely small fries.


    ��Ye Yuan, what should we do? Do we lend them a helping hand? Or operate on our own?�� Feng Qingxuan asked.


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Those people are being made use of. Attacking the Labyrinth Divine World will consume power rapidly. The two supremacies�� attacks look fierce, but I feel that it shouldn��t be their true strength! They are accumulating power, preparing for the final blow! Furthermore, even if these people break through the Labyrinth Divine World, with their consumption, it��s impossible to escape the Eternal River too! I estimate that the two great supremacies should have the strength to escape. In fact, maybe their true bodies are already waiting to receive them outside of the Eternal River!��


    Everyone was filled with fear!


    These two great supremacies really had wicked thoughts!


    ��Then what should we do?�� Feng Qingxuan said anxiously.


    ��Find the Universe scroll! As long as I comprehend spatial origin, I��ll be able to bring all of you out!�� Ye Yuan said with a firm gaze.

 Chapter 3072 - Its Also Too Supernatural!

    Ye Yuan took out the lambskin skin scroll and let everyone look it over.


    Everyone exchanged glances, disbelieving expressions on their faces.


    ��This is the real 12 Heavenly Dao Painting? It doesn��t look like it at all!��


    ��This thing is also too ordinary, right? If it was given to me, I might directly throw it away.��


    ��What��s laughable is that Kong Tan thought he obtained the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings. But it turns out that they were actually counterfeits!��


    �� . .


    This lambskin scroll was seriously too ordinary.


    Even if he saw it with his own eyes, they were also not very convinced that this was the legendary 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    The appearance was really not nice.


    If Ancestor Heavenless had not personally admitted it, they would definitely think that Ye Yuan was joking.


    Hence, everyone started searching for the Universe scroll.


    Ye Yuan��s spatial rule was already not far from origin realm.


    Actually, with his current strength, leaving on his own was not difficult.


    Ancestor Heavenless transformed into chaos, which was also to say that the Labyrinth Divine World was one with the Eternal River��s chaos.


    Ye Yuan only needed to activate chaos divine essence to simulate the state of incarnating into chaos and execute spatial divine ability, and he would be able to fuse into one with the Labyrinth Divine World.


    Then, break free from the Labyrinth Divine World.


    But, with his current spatial divine ability, he could not bring everyone away.


    Ye Yuan also did not dare to slack off in searching for the Universe scroll.


    Along with the passing of time, the power of the Extreme Dao True Fire grew stronger and stronger.


    Even if it was boiling frogs on low heat, it was also not what the average person could withstand.


    More and more people were being refined.


    Above the void, rumbling sounds lingered on incessantly.


    The fierce battles between Ancestor Heavenless and the powerhouses from all heavens were still at a stalemate.


    A portion of the Hegemon Realms was getting weaker and weaker.


    Under the Extreme Dao True Fire��s refinement, their strength was already somewhat falling short of their wishes.


    Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone had also sustained considerable injuries at this time.


    In this world, the vast majority of the Extreme Dao True Fire was released at them.


    The two people already had multiple areas on their body that were burned.


    But the attacks were still continuing!


    Although that spatial node was still being repaired, it was no longer as fast as before.


    This also gave everyone hope!


    Originally, it would be able to recover in a few breaths.


    But now, it already needed a hundred breaths of time.


    Furthermore, it was still continuing to weaken.


    For the sake of this glimmer of hope, those Hegemon Realms also spared no effort.


    After all, everyone was doing it in order to live and not be refined into a heavenly pill!


    Such a conclusion was a little too tragic.


    In a side hall, Ye Yuan was sizing up and down, currently looking for the Heavenly Dao Painting.


    Suddenly, a figure appeared.


    It was precisely Ancestor Heavenless!


    ��Ye Yuan, give up! You can��t find the Universe scroll! Although you��ve obtained four out of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, even if you can find one more, how would you know that it will be the Universe scroll?�� Ancestor Heavenless stood with his hands behind his back as he said calmly.


    This phantom of his was very illusory. Clearly, it was not powerful.


    It could be seen that he also did not have much energy to deal with Ye Yuan currently.


    Ye Yuan did not look at him and said coolly, ��You came to find me. Does it mean that I��m very close to the Universe scroll?��


    Ancestor Heavenless was shocked in his heart, but there were no ripples on his face.


    This sly old fox naturally would not reveal any flaws.


    However, it did not matter to Ye Yuan anymore.


    He believed in his own destiny!


    ��Hur hur, whatever you think! This ancestor just came here to tell you that those guys are not far from being refined anymore! Once they are refined, it will be time for you to die! You still have time to leave now by yourself!�� Heavenless said with a faint smile.


    ��You can see through my cultivation. You can see through my chaos divine essence. But regarding some things, you won��t be able to see through. Such as my destiny!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    He did not shun away from anything.


    Destiny was vague and insubstantial.


    If it was a Dao, no one had ever corroborated their Dao with this before!


    Other Great Daos had their cultivation methods.


    Only destiny, this path, was elusive.


    And the Extreme Medicine Sect��s blessing power was willingly formed by countless predecessors. That was how it formed such magical power.


    The Extreme Medicine Sect once had someone who studied this thing before but was similarly gainless.


    But Ye Yuan was an anomaly.


    All the predecessors acknowledged Ye Yuan!


    Heavenless naturally did not believe it. He laughed loudly and said, ��Kid, you wouldn��t be telling this ancestor that the Heavenly Dao Paintings previously were all found due to good luck, right? This ancestor is similarly someone who holds a great destiny. But, to talk about being able to find a Heavenly Dao Painting by randomly trying your luck, that��s also too nonsensical!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I know that you don��t believe it, but actually, when I came here, I already gave up on looking for any treasure. I was just strolling around idly. Then I found the Heaven scroll.��


    Heavenless was shocked in his heart again!


    A level of existence like him, how could he be easy to hoodwink?


    Heavenless felt that Ye Yuan was not lying.


    While talking, Ye Yuan already left this great hall.


    Heavenless did not give up. He continued to follow Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan guessed correctly. This place was already very close to the Universe scroll.


    After the great hall, there were rows of houses. Those were the residences of some low-level disciples.


    Ye Yuan came to this area and walked leisurely. It was as if he was sightseeing.


    Heavenless�� heart also tensed up.


    Could it be that this guy was really so supernatural?


    Somebody��s destiny was actually even stronger than Your Father��s?


    This ancestor doesn��t believe it!


    Don��t go to C3! Don��t go to C3! Don��t go to C3! Heavenless shouted in his heart.


    He naturally knew where the Universe scroll was placed.


    He also did not deliberately hide it. He just casually threw it to some inconspicuous place.


    The Universe scroll was in this house��s room C3.


    But freaking hell, the direction that Ye Yuan was walking was getting closer and closer to room C3!


    Ancestor Heavenly Dao already did not have the energy to transfer these Heavenly Dao Paintings now.


    Refining so many powerhouses, even with his ability, it was absolutely not a walk in the park too.


    Suddenly, Ye Yuan��s mind became more agile as luck hit, turning into room C3.


    Ancestor Heavenless felt that his heart was about to explode!


    There were at least several hundred houses here. Why did this guy pick this one?


    I �� I��m depressed!


    This boy was simply supernatural!


    ��Speaking of which, it��s a coincidence too. This Universe scroll is placed extremely secretively. This ancestor doesn��t believe that he can find that secret compartment!��


    Even if his heart was already surging like a torrential tide, he did not express it in the slightest.


    He just pretended to be nonchalant and followed behind Ye Yuan and entered room C3 too.


    Everything was so natural.


    Did Ye Yuan know that the Universe scroll was here?


    Of course he did not know!


    He was really walking randomly, and then he suddenly turned in here.


    Sometimes, luck was this magical.


    You sought desperately but could not obtain it.


    But joy would fall from the sky unwittingly.


    Ye Yuan walked two rounds in room C3 and discovered a study room. He then walked in.


    ��Ancestor, do you think the Universe scroll will be here?�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ancestor Heavenless was shocked in his heart, but his face was very calm as he said, ��The Labyrinth Divine Palace��s low-level disciples, their houses number in the tens of thousands, yet you picked this one. If you can really find it, wouldn��t this ancestor become a joke? Or are you trying to bait it out of this ancestor?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��You��re overthinking it. I was just bored and wanted to chat with you. I know that an old monster like you, even if I really find it, you all won��t show anything too.��


    While talking, Ye Yuan arrived next to the bookshelf and casually picked up a book and started flipping it.


    Ancestor Heavenless�� heart thumped again!


    This was also too freaking supernatural!

 Chapter 3073 - Unparalleled Under the Heavens!!

    This was naturally not the Universe scroll, but it was too close to the secret compartment��s mechanism!


    Ye Yuan took a few looks. These were some essays and poems.


    Feeling bored, he put it back where it was.


    A large rock landed on the ground in Heavenless�� heart! What a close shave!


    Immediately, he sneered incessantly. ��Heh, what wielder of great destiny, you even bluffed this ancestor! In the end, didn��t you still brush past it? This boy, when he��s on his deathbed and this ancestor tells him that here is where the Universe scroll was placed, would the expression on his face be very fascinating?��


    Heavenless could not help somewhat looking forward to him. In fact, he was really scared half to death just now.


    However, he also knew that at this time, he absolutely could not give anything away.


    This boy was too sharp. Once he revealed any hints, he would definitely see through something.


    From start to end, his face was placid without any ripples.


    Right at this time, a cluster of Extreme Dao True Fire rose up, pouncing straight for Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan casually waved his hand. A burst of chaos divine essence was fired out, directly dispersing it.


    Coincidentally, this attack��s aftershock was not exhausted, and it actually directly slammed onto the mechanism.


    Click!


    The secret compartment opened, revealing the lambskin scroll inside.


    Ancestor Heavenless who was still gloating just now was staring dumbfoundedly.


    S-So coincidental?


    This cluster of Extreme Dao True Fire was really divine!


    The position, the angle, they were just right.


    As if it was opening the mechanism for Ye Yuan!


    His Extreme Dao True Fire followed like a shadow, but Ye Yuan was too powerful.


    With the power of the Extreme Dao True Fire presently, it was unable to harm him at all.


    The Extreme Dao True Fire previously, Heavenless saw it too, Ye Yuan could crush it with a wave of his hand.


    Chaos divine essence was no joke, unless he could divert his energy to specifically target Ye Yuan.


    Otherwise, he completely could not do anything to him at the moment.


    But coincidentally, this cluster of Extreme Dao True Fire was really too timely!


    A myriad of profanities galloped across in Ancestor Heavenless�� heart.


    Ye Yuan also looked at the secret compartment rather surprisedly and suddenly smiled. ��Senior Heavenless, I didn��t expect that it��s really so coincidental. This lambskin scroll wouldn��t be the Universe volume, right?��


    Actually, he already knew the answer. Ancestor Heavenless�� expression already landed in his eyes.


    His dumbfoundedness clearly showed that this was the Universe volume!


    Uh �� the Extreme Medicine Sect��s ancestors, you all are really too awesome!


    Destiny was indeed foreordained by the unseen!


    Ye Yuan casually picked up the lambskin scroll. Upon looking, what could it be if not the Universe scroll?


    ��Hur hur, I said it before; my luck has always been pretty good. However, without Senior Heavenless�� Extreme Dao True Fire, I��d really have walked past the Universe scroll! Many thanks!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Ancestor Heavenless�� heart was already filled with shock and depression.


    He did not expect that it was actually this damn Extreme Dao True Fire that helped Ye Yuan find the Universe scroll!


    A holder of great destiny!


    Was this the holder of great destiny?


    This brat��s luck was a little too good, right?


    It was not that he did not believe in destiny. It was just that he never thought that someone could use this kind of unusual method to find the Heavenly Dao Painting!


    ��Kid, consider yourself ruthless! Hope that you can comprehend spatial origin before this ancestor exterminates them!��


    Ancestor Heavenless�� figure directly dissipated without leaving even a word behind.


    No more face!


    In addition, he also had to speed up refining those powerhouses!


    At this time, his apprehension towards Ye Yuan was no less than that of Hegemon Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone.


    Obtaining the Universe scroll, Ye Yuan did not get too entangled either, injecting chaos divine essence and directly started gaining enlightenment on Dao!


    He also knew that it was not the time to be pleased with himself at present.


    How this farce would end, no one knew either.


    But Ye Yuan did not want to see Ancestor Heavenless return to the 33 Heavens.


    This might not be a good thing for the 33 Heavens.


    However, making use of Ancestor Hegemon to inflict heavy wounds on Hegemon Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone was a pretty good choice.


    It seemed like he could set the snipe and clam at each other and take advantage of them both.


    The present situation was rather delicate.


    If Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Samsara Pill were refined, and Ancestor Hegemon really refined them into the strongest Chaos Heavenly Pill in history, he might really be able to transcend the Great Beyond!


    With Ancestor Heavenless�� temperament, the consequences were seriously hard to predict!


    But, if Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone��s clones were seriously wounded and Ancestor Hegemon was not able to refine them.


    This way, the three great supremacies would all be hurt!


    These two great clones were very important existences to Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone.


    Once heavily injured, the main body would definitely be greatly implicated.


    However, this angle had to be grasped well!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan already had a plan in his heart!


    Of course, the prerequisite for all these was comprehending spatial origin first!


    Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone��s clones were almost despairing.


    At this time, including them, they no longer had the strength left to attack the Labyrinth Divine World anymore.


    They were very strong, but they were just clones in the end.


    The entire Labyrinth Divine World was Ancestor Heavenless�� main body!


    This was no joke.


    ��Damn it! I didn��t expect that I was actually schemed against by this sly old fox! Losing this clone, this progenitor��s strength will reduce by at least 30%! Once Old Man Heavenless really succeeds in refining the pill and re-condenses a physical body, transcending the Great Beyond, then the consequences will be too severe!��


    Hegemon Samsara was bitterly remorseful in his heart. The temptation of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings was too strong!.


    It was just that he did not expect that not only did Ancestor Heavenless not die, but furthermore, he transformed into chaos and refined himself together with the Labyrinth Divine World.


    Such means were too fantastical.


    He was originally very confident. With this clone��s strength, obtaining the 12 Heavenly Dao paintings would be effortless.


    Who knew that he still walked into a trap!


    Everyone knew that Old Man Heavenless did not have good intentions.


    But no one expected that Old Man Heavenless�� boldness was actually so great.


    He schemed against all the 33 Heavens�� top powerhouses!


    There was also the Chaos Bloodstone who had the same idea as him.


    The blue-robed youth said with regret, ��Heh, this progenitor thought that I schemed against all the heavens. Didn��t expect that in the end, I��m still less skilled than Old Man Heavenless! Old Man Samsara, I didn��t expect that this progenitor would fail to exchange blows with you. I was actually defeated under Old Man Heavenless�� hands in the end!��


    Hegemon Samsara sighed and said, ��In the end, this progenitor still underestimated him! Looks like of the three of us, it��s still him who won in the end! Yours and my clone being refined into a heavenly pill, it will be equivalent to losing 30%-40% of our strength. It will simply be impossible to be his match anymore!��


    The blue-robed youth suddenly remembered someone and said, ��Where��s Ye Yuan that boy? Is he dead?��


    Samsara smiled lightly and said, ��You seem to have quite a deep resentment toward that boy!��


    The blue-robed youth snorted coldly and said, ��That��s because you didn��t become his opponent. Otherwise, your resentment will be very deep too! Back then, he made this progenitor suffer a huge loss at True Sovereign Heaven Realm! This isn��t what the average person can accomplish! If he didn��t die yet, maybe �� this situation can still have a sudden turn of events!��


    Samsara shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ��You��re thinking too much! This progenitor admits that that boy is very impressive! But Old Man Heavenless isn��t a worthless wretch like you! Being able to scheme against the two of us at the same time, his intelligence is truly unparalleled under the heavens! Resign yourself to fate!��

 Chapter 3074 - Ruined My Great Plan!

    ��I �� I almost can��t hold on anymore. Cloudneon, do you think Ye Yuan �� can find the Universe volume?�� Feng Qingxuan��s breathing was barely perceptible as she said to the Cloudneon next to her.


    Cloudneon��s situation was not much better than hers too.


    Her soul body was faint. Even if she had myriad origins, she could not withstand being refined by the blazing fire too.


    There were several Supreme Hegemons who were already refined.


    Cloudneon had formidable strength by relying on the Cloud Dream Soul Physique and forcefully held on until now.


    Among the over 50 thousand people that Ye Yuan brought, there was only one-third left now.


    Yang Qing��s strength far surpassed his peers. But at this time, he already could not hold out as well.


    ��It��s too hard! Putting aside that there are tens of thousands of residences here, even if he can really find a Heavenly Dao Painting, it might not be the Universe volume too! This possibility is negligible!�� Cloudneon said weakly.


    ��Ye Yuan will definitely find it!�� Although Yang Qing was weak, these words had a decisiveness that could chop iron.


    Cloudneon shook her head and did not argue.


    Her personality was cold, and she did not like to argue with people.


    If there were really any altercations, she would just kill them.


    Yang Qing saw that she did not believe him. He said, ��You all don��t know this but Ye Yuan has the Extreme Medicine Sect��s power of blessing on him, his luck is heaven-defyingly good! Otherwise, how do you all think he found so many Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    The look in Cloudneon��s eyes gradually became somewhat lax.


    The Extreme Dao True Fire on her body also gradually grew more vigorous.


    She could not hold on much longer!


    Hegemon Realm powerhouses were the targets that were prioritized.


    Instead, it was those under Hegemon Realm that had higher hopes of survival.


    With Cloudneon being a Supreme Hegemon, Ancestor Heavenless naturally would not let her off too.


    ��I �� I can��t anymore! Ye Yuan, where are you? I �� I really want to see you one last time!�� Feng Qingxuan��s consciousness became a little blurry.


    The current Ancestor Heavenless was very pleased with himself!


    The several hundreds of thousands of years�� worth of plan, it was finally going to be realized!


    ��Hahaha �� Samsara, Blood Progenitor, you guys never dreamed that it��s this ancestor who had the last laugh, right? This heavenly pill, this ancestor will name it Great Beyond Flower Blooming! From now on, above in the heavens and beneath the earth, I alone reign supreme! I��m called Heavenless. I am heaven!�� Ancestor Heavenless said excitedly.


    How aggrieving was the defeat back then?


    Now, he staged a comeback and finally had the last laugh.


    Trampling all the heavens and myriad worlds under his foot, how glorious was this.


    ��Also, Ye Yuan punk won��t be able to make it in time anymore! In another two hours, this ancestor will be able to refine everyone! So what if he��s lucky? You ultimately can��t escape death!�� Ancestor Heavenless�� voice spread throughout the entire Labyrinth Divine World.


    Right at this time, a surge of origin power suddenly descended!


    Spatial origin!


    Ancestor Heavenless�� smugness abruptly stopped!


    ��This �� How is this possible? It had just been three months, and he actually comprehended spatial origin?�� Ancestor Heavenless was shocked.


    Spatial origin was one of few great origins that was the hardest to comprehend out of the myriad origins and rules.


    In terms of difficulty, it was no less difficult than samsara origin and the origin of blood.


    How could this kind of heaven-defyingly complex origin power be easy to comprehend?


    The Dao of space, very few people dared to dabble in it.


    Because origin, this hurdle, one might get stuck for tens of thousands of years!


    Once you were unable to break through to Hegemon Realm, then you would be forcibly ground to death by Dao tribulation.


    Only Progenitor Mi Tian, this kind of natural-born Hegemon, dared to spend countless years to go and gain enlightenment on spatial origin and attain Great Dao.


    Ancestor Heavenless touched his own heart and felt that he was amazingly talented, but he also did not dare say that he could comprehend spatial origin within three months!


    Even if there was the Universe volume, it would be impossible too!


    Yet, Ye Yuan accomplished it!


    How could this kid be so monstrous?


    At the same time, Ye Yuan��s imposing aura was currently rising crazily.


    Ancestor Heavenless�� expression changed drastically because he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently absorbing the Labyrinth Divine World��s power to increase his cultivation realm!


    Was this boy crazy?


    He incarnated into chaos. The Labyrinth Divine World was his physical body.


    Now, with Ye Yuan absorbing the Labyrinth Divine World��s power, it was equivalent to drawing out his power!


    ��Damn it! Boy, you��re courting death! Hurry up and stop! Otherwise, this ancestor will exterminate you first!�� Ancestor Heavenless�� furious voice reverberated throughout the entire Labyrinth Divine World.


    Ye Yuan naturally would not stop. Ever since he entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace, he comprehended two great origins consecutively, and he also comprehended the Universe scroll.


    Actually, he could have broken through long ago.


    But before this, he chose not to break through in order to not alarm the enemy.


    At this time, when he comprehended spatial origin, his cultivation realm seemed like the floodgates opening, rising in a surging tide.


    Ancestor Heavenless was utterly horrified because Ye Yuan��s speed of extracting the power of chaos was seriously too fast and too much!


    His power was being diminished rapidly.


    He actually discovered that him absorbing the Eternal River��s power was not as fast as Ye Yuan absorbing it!


    Originally, Hegemon Samsara and the Chaos Bloodstone, who were already on death��s door, were startled awake again by this sudden turn of events.


    Their eyes became brighter and brighter.


    An unforeseen accident really occurred!


    It was Ye Yuan!


    In an instant, they even felt that the power of the Extreme Dao True Fire had also weakened by a lot.


    ��Damn punk, you ruined my great plan! This ancestor will kill you! Die for this ancestor!��


    Heavenless was furious. The Extreme Dao True Fire around Ye Yuan instantly engulfed him.


    ��Ye Yuan!�� Cloudneon and the rest were originally pleasantly surprised. But at this time, they turned pale with fright.


    They knew how great the power of this Extreme Dao True Fire was.


    Once Ancestor Heavenless deliberately targeted Ye Yuan, then Ye Yuan would die beyond a doubt.


    Hegemon Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone exchanged a glance. The other party instantly understood tacitly!


    At this time, they felt that the Extreme Dao True Fire that suppressed them was clearly weakened by a great deal.


    Heavenless�� power had quite a bit that was drawn out to begin with. Now, he was also deliberately targeting Ye Yuan. He naturally did not have that much energy to place on Samsara two people.


    An opportunity like this, how could sly foxes like them possibly let it go?


    At virtually the same time, the two people erupted again!


    ��Old Man Heavenless, watch this!��


    A shocking power suddenly erupted.


    Although they were being refined to the point of death, they had always retained the power of a single blow.


    Being able to be named three great supremacies with Ancestor Heavenless, the two of their strength could be imagined.


    Boom!


    The Labyrinth Divine Palace shook violently!


    The spatial node that they bombarded actually had a large hole that was blasted out.


    The Eternal River��s power of chaos flooded in crazily.


    ��Hahaha �� Old Man Heavenless, you were pleased with yourself too early! You never dreamed that you��d fall at the hands of a measly little Emperor Vast Heaven, right? Old thing, this progenitor is leaving!�� The Chaos Bloodstone gave a loud laugh, turned into a streak of bloody light, and tunneled right into the chaos.


    Hegemon Samsara smiled and said, ��Old Man Heavenless, although this progenitor is seriously injured, who will emerge victorious is not yet known! Ye Yuan, this boy, he really gives people a pleasant surprise!��


    Finished saying, he also turned into a wisp of green smoke and tunneled out.


    Ancestor Endless three people, as well as many Supreme Hegemons, were all not refined yet.


    Seeing a large hole being blown out in the Labyrinth Divine World, Ancestor Endless three people��s eyes flickered, directly tearing across the air.


    However, those Supreme Hegemons were not so lucky.


    Although the vast majority of the people among them had not been refined yet, they no longer had the strength left to escape anymore.


    Only several powerful individuals followed Ancestor Endless three people and escaped.

 Chapter 3075 - Eternal River Breakthrough!

    ��Y-Ye Yuan he ����


    Feng Qingxuan choked and could not continue.


    The place that Ye Yuan was standing at had already turned into an endless sea of fire.


    Further, under Ancestor Heavenless�� violent rage, Ye Yuan had no possibility of surviving at all.


    Cloudneon sighed slightly and said, ��If he went, then he went. Before long, we��ll be following him too.��


    Hegemon Samsara they all ran, but these Supreme Hegemons had not run away yet.


    It was naturally impossible for Ancestor Heavenless to let them off.


    Feng Qingxuan��s expression turned dim. Her eyes actually had an additional hint of liberation.


    ��Ye Yuan punk, you ruined my great plan. This ancestor wants you to die without a burial ground! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!�� Above the void came Ancestor Heavenless�� furious voice.


    He had plotted for several hundred thousand years and threw out the Labyrinth Divine Palace, this enormous bait. It was for the sake of luring Progenitor Samsara over.


    In fact, the Chaos Bloodstone was in his scheme too.


    This time, if he rounded up all the heavens�� powerhouses in one fell swoop, he would recover his peak strength. Even improving a step further was possible.


    However, such a perfect plan was ruined at Ye Yuan��s hands.


    How could he not be furious?


    Without Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone, these two great supremacies, his Great Beyond Flower Blooming pill could only be considered a defective product.


    No matter how many Supreme Hegemons there were, it could not make up for the loss of Great Beyond powerhouses too!


    But very soon, Ancestor Heavenless realized that something was wrong.


    ��This is impossible! That kid is already dead. But why is my power still flowing away?�� Ancestor Heavenless became alarmed and furious.


    Under this kind of blazing fire, Ye Yuan had long already died thoroughly.


    But his power of chaos was still fading away rapidly.


    Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and he was struck dumb with amazement!


    ��This �� This is impossible! Could it be that that punk already tore through the boundary? He��s absorbing my power in the Eternal River?��


    �� . .


    On the Eternal River��s shore, in a different place, a figure was standing with his hands behind his back.


    This person was wearing a silk headdress on his head and had a handsome face like carved jade, looking suave and free, like a very ordinary scholar.


    It was only to see him open both arms up. One invisible force after another gathered in one place from all directions.


    His power could also be seen rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    No idea how long had passed either. His power could not rise anymore.


    This was the Eternal River��s main stream. The surging power of chaos virtually crushed people until they exploded!


    Only by reaching his level of boundary, with strength infinitely close to transcending the Great Beyond, could one stay in the Eternal River for a short duration.


    He looked at the boundless Eternal River and said under his breath, ��I didn��t expect that Old Man Heavenless actually concealed such a plan! This time, I really suffered a double loss! Fortunately, the Chaos Bloodstone also suffered serious injuries this time! From today onwards, the 33 Heavens will likely be reshuffling!��


    This handsome scholar was the incomparably mysterious Hegemon Samsara!


    In order to save this Great Beyond clone, he summoned his clones from all heavens and reunited the soul bodies.


    It was only the current him. Was that Hegemon Samsara who made people tremble with fear!


    Except, his expression was very ugly.


    He already knew about the events that happened in the Labyrinth Divine World.


    His moment of greed actually made him fall for the trick.


    However, he never dreamed that Ancestor Heavenless could actually survive for hundreds of thousands of years in the Eternal River!


    If not for this, how could he easily risk his life?


    Suddenly, Samsara��s mind stirred, his figure entering the Eternal River.


    Around him, the power of chaos surged frenziedly. He actually forcibly split apart the incomparably powerful Eternal River��s water!


    The might of Hegemon Samsara was unbelievably formidable!


    His speed was extremely fast, like a great whale cleaving the waves and advancing, without equal!


    In a blink of an eye, he arrived at a place.


    It was precisely where the Labyrinth Divine World was at!


    Right at this time, a streak of bloody light cut through the waves and came from another direction. Who could it be if not the Chaos Bloodstone?


    But, what came over was actually a blood-red colored stone!


    This stone gave people an extremely evil feeling. It was as if it could corrode the myriad worlds.


    This was the Chaos Bloodstone��s main body!


    No one knew where it was. But at this time, he came for this clone!


    Hegemon Samsara looked at the Chaos Bloodstone and said, ��I didn��t expect that the first time we would meet would actually be here!��


    The Chaos Bloodstone said, ��This progenitor also didn��t expect it! Having obtained this chance, Ancestor Heavenless is probably going to stage a comeback, right?��


    Samsara stood with his hands behind his back and said with a slight nod, ��His ambitions are huge. He definitely won��t let this opportunity go! It��s just that he never would have dreamed that Ye Yuan, this monster, actually appeared and ruined his grand plan! You and I broke out. His wishful thinking is considered to have fallen flat!��


    The Chaos Bloodstone laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha �� This time, you all know this progenitor��s gloom, right? This boy has ruined my plans time and again starting from True Sovereign Heaven! it��s just that I never expected that he actually saved this progenitor this time!��


    Samsara snorted coldly and said, ��Do you think that he��ll be so kindhearted? This boy is shrewd as hell! I suspect that he deliberately dragged it out until the last second before choosing to break through! This time, the three of us are all weakened and defeated. We probably won��t have the strength to take action within a short time! This boy is so cunning!��


    Hegemon Samsara cultivated his heart across myriad worlds. How astute was he?


    With Ye Yuan creating an opportunity, letting them break free, he saw through what Ye Yuan was thinking with one glance.


    It was just that this was an open scheme. Even if he knew about it, he was helpless too.


    Great Beyond clone being seriously wounded, he needed to go into closed-seclusion for a period of time.


    The Chaos Bloodstone smiled and said, ��But this time, he��s dead for sure too! Old Man Heavenless will definitely vent all of his anger on him! There��s no hope for him!��


    Hegemon Samsara nodded slightly, clearly quite in agreement too.


    Suddenly, his mind stirred. A figure cut through the air. It was precisely his Great Beyond clone!


    The power of Samsara surged, directly splitting apart the Eternal River��s massive waves, welcoming back his clone and integrating it into his body.


    On the other side, the Chaos Bloodstone did the same.


    Done with these, he turned around and left.


    But right at this time, his entire body trembled.


    In the Eternal River, an astonishing aura surged to the sky.


    The Door of Eternal Life stood proudly in the void!


    Only to see a figure rush up to the sky and smash toward the Door of Eternal Life with a punch.


    Hegemon Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone��s pupils constricted, looks of astonishment on their faces.


    ��That��s �� Ye Yuan?�� Hegemon Samsara said in shock.


    ��Not only did he not die, but he also even �� even pry open the second seal?�� Chaos Bloodstone seemed to be trembling.


    ��This boy can actually be like fish in water inside the Eternal River!�� Hegemon Samsara sighed again.


    ��I even thought that Ancestor Heavenless burned him to death! I didn��t expect that he had actually already escaped into the Eternal River! Old Man Heavenless can only show off his power in the Labyrinth Divine World now. How can he do anything to him?�� The Chaos Bloodstone said in shock again.


    Boom!


    With a loud bang, the second seal opened in response to the noise!


    The astonishment on Hegemon Samsara��s face turned into a bitter smile, and he said, ��I didn��t expect that in this drama that schemed against all the heavens, the one who had the last laugh is actually this boy! Looks like we got to think of a way to eliminate this boy!��


    Hegemon Samsara felt a grave threat!


    This kind of threat was even stronger than Chaos Bloodstone and Heavenless!


    With his cultivation, he would not be so at ease in the Eternal River too!

 Chapter 3076 - Tearing Through the Boundary!

    ��Refine for me!��


    Heavenless roared angrily. The Extreme Dao True Fire on Cloudneon and the others suddenly became stronger.


    Everyone let out a muffled groan without prior agreement, their auras dropping considerably all at once.


    It looked like they were not going to make it.


    Yang Qing could not stand it a long time ago. If not for Cloudneon splitting off a portion of soul force to help him resist the Extreme Dao True Fire, he would have long died.


    Seeing everyone falter, Heavenless laughed loudly. ��Hahaha! Ye Yuan brat, this ancestor can��t do anything to you. But did you think I am helpless against your friends? This ancestor wants you to regret what you��ve done!��


    Incarnating into chaos, Ancestor Heavenless had given up too much.


    Outside of this world, he lost the ability to take the initiative to launch attacks.


    Hence, he could not do anything to Ye Yuan at all. He could only vent his fury on Ye Yuan and the rest.


    Yang Qing��s entire body was being burned by the blazing fire, and no longer looked human.


    His entire body was chapped. It was as if a layer of skin was going to shed.


    He gritted his teeth and said with a cold smile, ��Heh, this old man is really a coward. Just you wait. After this seat achieves Great Beyond Realm, I��ll definitely thrash you until not even your mother can recognize you!��


    Feng Qingxuan was at her last breath as she said, ��Already someone who��s about to die. What are you still posturing for? But, knowing that Ye Yuan didn��t die, I can also close my eyes in death.��


    Her eyes carried endless reluctance to part.


    But the vitality of life on her body gradually started dissipating.


    Right at this time, a thick divine essence wrapped her entire body up.


    A surge of spatial power separated the Extreme Dao True Fire and forcibly pulled Feng Qingxuan out.


    A chill struck. Feng Qingxuan��s entire person immediately felt much more awake.


    It was a sea of chaos before her eyes.


    A figure was standing not far away. With chaos divine essence flooding out of his body, who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    There was also Cloudneon, Yang Qing, and the rest who were rescued along with her.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s several thousand powerhouses were also brought out by Ye Yuan.


    These several thousand people actually withstood the test of the blazing fire and survived.


    In fact, Ye Yuan even brought Kong Tan, Yu Ran, and the rest of the younger generation Hegemon Realm powerhouses out.


    Feng Qingxuan was wildly ecstatic!


    ��I �� I actually didn��t die?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I promised you all to save everyone. I naturally won��t go back on my words.��


    Yang Qing looked at Ye Yuan and said with a dazed look, ��You �� are already Emperor Sakra Heaven?��


    Clearly, the key point that he was focusing on was different.


    Ye Yuan breaking through to Emperor Sakra Heaven meant that he could wreck Yang Qing without employing the Dao sword.


    Unbearable!


    Why was it that in a blink of an eye, this guy was going to catch up to him again?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Even Kong Tan could cross a major realm. I wouldn��t be worse than him, right?��


    ��Pffft!��


    Kong Tan spewed out a mouthful of old blood and nearly fainted in anger.


    He really almost fainted.


    Each and every one of them was incomparably weak right now. They were just hanging on with one final breath.


    ��Yeah! Big Brother Ye Yuan is really a peerless talent. He��s very different from us mortals. Previously, I had some misunderstanding with Big Brother Ye Yuan. It was all this younger sister��s fault. The life-saving grace this time, Yu Ran will bear it in mind.��


    Yu Ran also turned pale at this time, but her attitude was already very different.


    She did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually save her.


    After all, it was not pleasant previously.


    No matter what objective Ye Yuan had, he saved her life after all.


    When Ye Yuan heard that, he just nodded his head slightly and did not express much.


    He naturally saved Kong Tan and the rest for a purpose.


    After going out this time, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would definitely come under attack on all sides.


    The blood race, soul race, and also the various races in all the heavens, they would not be friendly to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, especially since his own existence was a huge latent danger.


    The Chaos Bloodstone, Hegemon Samsara, Ancestor Heavenless, these three supremacies all viewed him as a thorn in the side.


    Therefore, allies were very important.


    In the Labyrinth Divine Palace, it was mostly geniuses having disputes caused by personal feelings and not irreconcilable enmity.


    Saving these people, even if they did not bear the kindness in mind, they would at least be embarrassed to kick them while they were down.


    Only Kong Tan��s face turned bright red.


    During the Labyrinth Divine Palace trip this time, although he broke through the fetters in one stroke and broke through to Hegemon Realm, his face was utterly lost.


    Originally thought that he was the child of destiny, the ruler of all the heavens in the future.


    Who knew that he actually became a jumping clown in the end!


    Being poked fun at by Ye Yuan, he did not even dare to let out a fart.


    If it were before, he would definitely rebut Ye Yuan.


    But, feeling that incomparably thick chaos divine essence around, he kept his mouth shut sensibly.


    This chaos divine essence was too strong!


    A genius like him, the fiendish skill that he cultivated was incomparably pure. His fiend essence was also incomparably thick.


    But compared to Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence, it was like glass meeting diamond.


    Too fragile!


    This chaos divine essence did not have the slightest discordance when it met with the Eternal River��s chaos.


    It was also precisely because of this chaos divine essence that they could survive in the Eternal River.


    As long as Ye Yuan rescinded the chaos divine essence, they would immediately be crushed into dregs by the Eternal River��s chaos!


    Only at this moment did he deeply experience why the dignified Ancestor Heavenless would be so fearful of Ye Yuan.


    ��Many thanks for Brother Ye��s life-saving grace. My World��s End Pavilion owes you a favor!��


    ��Many thanks to Brother Ye for helping out. Our firespirit clan won��t forget your kindness!��


    ��Brother Ye, if you��re free in the future, come to our Flying Cloud Clan to be a guest. I��ll definitely satisfy Brother Ye!��


    �� . .


    The geniuses who were rescued cupped their fists and saluted Ye Yuan one after another.


    This kindness was not small!


    However, those that Ye Yuan rescued were all juniors. Ye Yuan did not save a single one of those Peak Hegemons and Supreme Hegemons.


    The divine essence consumed to save a Supreme Hegemon was too much.


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan was, he was also merely an Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    Now, one Cloudneon already consumed half of his energy.


    Bringing another one would take his life.


    Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, ��Just a matter of lifting a hand. It��s not worth mentioning. But everyone shouldn��t be happy too early. With three great overlords coming into being, a sanguinary slaughter will surely be set off in the 33 Heavens. Nobody can stay detached from the matter. Therefore, from now on, everyone will be on the same boat. Everyone, take care of yourselves.��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan brought everyone and headed to the nearest Eternal River branch stream.


    Rumble ��


    Behind, the Labyrinth Divine World gave off intense tremors.


    It turned into a huge fireball in an instant!


    When everyone saw it, their expressions could not help but change.


    If they did not come out, they would probably all be refined now, right?


    Thinking of how those Supreme Hegemons all fell in the Labyrinth Divine World, they rejoiced jubilantly.


    ��Ye Yuan brat, you ruined my grand plan! When this ancestor recovers my physical body, I��ll cross worlds and come! I��ll definitely exterminate your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven until not even chickens and dogs are spared! Not even chickens or dogs will be spared!��


    From behind came Ancestor Heavenless�� bellow.


    This furious roar made even the Eternal River tremble.


    Everyone��s faces turned pale, afraid that Ancestor Heavenless would chase after.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��No need to worry. He��s badly wounded now and needs to focus fully on refining the pill. He can��t chase after us at all.��


    Suddenly, everyone saw that there were two more powerful auras not far away.


    Only to see that Hegemon Samsara and Chaos Bloodstone were both cleaving through the waves and advancing, their imposing momentum shocking the heavens.


    These two great supremacies�� main bodies arrived in person, but at this time, they were gasping heavily for air, seemingly very wretched.


    But Ye Yuan��s chaos divine essence was like a large ship, carrying everyone forward along with the waves very comfortably.


    Everyone exchanged glances, incredibly shocked in their hearts.

 Chapter 3077 - Returning to the Sect!

    ��Are the two of you hurrying on your way? Do you want a ride?�� Ye Yuan looked at the two great supremacies and said with a relaxed expression.


    Hegemon Samsara��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Boy, forming an irreconcilable enmity with this progenitor isn��t some wise move! Every day that you don��t step into Great Beyond Realm, it will be one day that you don��t have the qualifications to challenge this ancestor!��


    But, the current Hegemon Samsara was an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.


    That pair of bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.


    It was just that powerhouses from all heavens were watching, and Ye Yuan kicked him in the face. It was very ugly.


    The Bloodstone also spoke up, saying angrily, ��Ye Yuan brat, after returning this time, this progenitor will do my best to destroy Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! You have to be prepared!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said with a smile, ��Is this how you talk to your savior? With your tolerance, how will you guys rule the heavens?��


    Next to Ye Yuan, many people were all desperately holding in their laughter.


    Although Ye Yuan had suspicions of playing with fire and burning himself, looking at the two great supremacies getting deflated was still a very pleasant thing, especially that these two great supremacies were not on friendly terms.


    Hegemon Samsara stared at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, ��Ye Yuan, you think that you can hide from this progenitor��s arcane eyes with your bit of cunning? You��re still a bit too inexperienced to fight with this progenitor! You want to make the three of us tie each other down, so as to buy time to grow up. You counted your chickens before they hatched! Now, you��re the common enemy of the three of us! After this ancestor returns to my position, the first thing that I��m going to do is to kill you!��


    Chaos Bloodstone also said, ��Kid, you��re already Emperor Sakra Heaven! Do you think that this progenitor will still give you time to grow up? You��re probably thinking too much!��


    With two great overlords being unanimous and actually wanting to join hands to deal with Ye Yuan, this made everyone quake in their boots.


    This was no joke!


    Although these two great supremacies struggled immensely in the Eternal River, it was precisely because of this that made their strength even more evident.


    At this time, the strength that these two great supremacies exhibited made them feel suffocated!


    This was true strength that was about to transcend the Great Beyond Realm!


    Who knew that Ye Yuan did not care at all, saying with a light smile, ��You guys had better consider how to recover your strength first! If my guesses are right, the two of you are seriously injured this time, and your main bodies also have to enter the Eternal River. You��ll definitely suffer great damage. Even at this time, when your Dao foundations will be damaged or not is hard to say, you actually still have spare time to come and threaten me. Once your Dao foundations suffer damage, no matter how exceedingly formidable your means, it will be impossible to transcend the Great Beyond too!��


    Being exposed by Ye Yuan, the two great supremacies turned somewhat angry from embarrassment.


    Just as Ye Yuan said, the two of them were already struggling to save their own skin. How could they have the energy to come and deal with Ye Yuan?


    Ye Yuan scheming against the three great supremacies this time could be said to be extremely successful.


    ��Alright, since the two of you have unmatched powers, you don��t need this Ye. Then I��ll be making a move first.�� Finished saying, Ye Yuan brought everyone and actually overtook the two great supremacies.


    In the Eternal River, Ye Yuan��s speed of advancement was extremely fast, even faster than the two great supremacies.


    Everyone exchanged glances, feeling great admiration in their hearts.


    Posturing without leaving a trace, flicking his sleeves, and leaving afterward!


    Ye Yuan was really too impressive!


    Watching Ye Yuan��s departing back view, Hegemon Samsara��s expression was very grim.


    ��Can��t let this boy continue to grow up unchecked! This boy cultivates chaos. His destiny is heaven-defying. Once he breaks through to Hegemon Realm, it will be difficult for you and me to deal with him as well!�� Samsara said in a solemn voice.


    ��After going back this time, this ancestor will gather the blood race members across the heavens, and besiege Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! I won��t rest until I kill Ye Yuan! Really didn��t expect that this boy would actually grow to such a level. If I had known it would come to this, this progenitor should have killed him back then at all costs!��


    The Chaos Bloodstone��s intestines were green with regret.


    Back then, if he did his utmost, killing a puny little Ye Yuan would naturally be like taking something out of his own pocket.


    But at that time, he had many misgivings, resulting in missing the opportunity.


    Who knew that in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan was already Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    At present, although Ye Yuan had not fully grown up yet, he could already sufficiently stand alone.


    After they recovered from their injuries and exited seclusion, no idea to what extent Ye Yuan would grow.


    Hegemon Samsara��s gaze flickered, and he said, ��You don��t have to regret it either. Whether or not he can grow up is still unknown! Don��t you forget, before Hegemon Realm, he still has a shocking great tribulation!��


    The Chaos Bloodstone shuddered, and he said, ��You mean �� the Hegemon Dao Tribulation?��


    Hegemon Samsara nodded and said, ��That��s right! This boy is going against heaven. His strength can be rated as monstrous! His Hegemon Dao Tribulation is bound to shock heaven and earth! If he makes it through this hurdle, you and I might not be able to do anything to him. But wanting to make it through this hurdle is easier said than done!��


    The Chaos Bloodstone seemed a little excited as he said, ��You��re right! Since ancient times, how many geniuses have there been? But there has never been a divergent cultivator who could overcome the Hegemon Dao Tribulation! Hahaha �� brat, just you be smug! The faster you cultivate, the quicker you��ll die too! However, this progenitor is still not giving him the chance to assault Hegemon Realm! This progenitor will definitely be destroying Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    �� . .


    At Extreme Medicine Sect, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Mi Tian and Cloudmount, two people, stood on top of the mountain, straining their eyes and looking into the distance. Their hearts weighed down with worry.


    Over 20 years ago, Mi Tian already arrived in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. It was for the sake of learning about Ye Yuan��s news at the first moment.


    Ye Yuan��s departure was several decades long. To this day, there was no news. Mi Tian was very worried.


    ��There��s no news after so long. Could Ye Yuan ���� Cloudmount��s eyes revealed sorrow.


    There was no news from the geniuses from all heavens.


    This was the worst news!


    This indicated that the Labyrinth Divine Palace was indeed fishy!


    Old Man Heavenless was not easy to get along with!


    Mi Tian was also ladened with anxieties as he said, ��Alas, I was too greedy! I knew long ago that this trip was incredibly dangerous, I should have stopped him back then!��


    Cloudmount said, ��Senior, you don��t need to blame yourself. Don��t you know what that boy is like? The things that he decided, even if the sky falls down, nobody can stop him too! Although this boy didn��t say it, I know that him going to the Labyrinth Divine Palace, half of it is to search for chaos heavenly medicines for me.��


    Mi Tian sighed and said, ��This progenitor watched Heavenless that brat grow up! He��s amazingly gifted! If we were to find another genius that can rival Ye Yuan in this world, then there��s only Heavenless! Now, there��s no news for several decades, Ye Yuan is probably �� fraught with grim possibilities!��


    Although Mi Tian��s strength could not compare to Heavenless, his seniority was even older than Heavenless.


    He and the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s old palace master, there was a friendship with complete mutual understanding.


    It was also precisely because of this that he knew about Heavenless�� talent and scheming mind even more.


    Originally, he was the same as the powerhouses of all heavens, harboring a fluke mentality, thinking that Heavenless had already died in the Eternal River.


    But looking at it now, they were too naive!


    Cloudmount choked as he said, ��I, this bunch of old bones, am really good-for-nothing! If my strength is still there, I��ll definitely personally go to the Labyrinth Divine Palace to ensure his safety! But ����


    The two old men��s tears shed in the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    And right at this time, a group of small black dots appeared on the horizon.


    Mi Tian��s entire body trembled, seeing Ye Yuan, who was right at the front at one glance.


    ��Senior Mi Tian, Master, Ye Yuan is back!��


    The Extreme Medicine Sect seethed with excitement!

 Chapter 3078 - All Heavens Shocked!

    In the Extreme Medicine Sect��s great hall, it was silent.


    Mi Tian, Cloudmount, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest all had their eyes glued on Ye Yuan. It was as if they wanted to see through him.


    Hearing everything that happened in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, it was like they were listening to a book from heaven.


    This Labyrinth Divine Palace trip actually concealed such a huge conspiracy.


    But in the end, the three great supremacies were scammed by Ye Yuan until they could not do anything about it.


    This scheme that swept up the entire 33 Heavens, the biggest winner was actually Ye Yuan, this puny little Emperor Vast Heaven1!


    If they did not know Ye Yuan��s character, they would definitely let loose a torrent of abuse, saying that Ye Yuan was making up stories.


    What made people even more overjoyed was that among the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven powerhouses that Ye Yuan brought, more than 40 Hegemon Realms were actually born!


    These people all broke through their realms when visualizing the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Although a large batch was refined and died, there were also more than 20 thousand people who came back with Ye Yuan.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Hegemon Realm powerhouses was suddenly replenished again.


    Ye Yuan brought them back safely. There was no greater merit!


    ��Kid, I really don��t know what to say about you ���� After a long time, Mi Tian squeezed this sentence out.


    Having learned about the events that happened in the Labyrinth Divine Palace, Mi Tian��s frame of mind was like it went on a roller-coaster.


    Regarding Heavenless, not many people understood him better than him.


    Not only was this guy extremely powerful, but he was also even adept at scheming. He was an extremely troublesome character.


    Learning that he did not know, Mi Tian��s heart could not help pounding.


    But who knew that he was actually completely eaten up by Ye Yuan.


    But Cloudmount said worriedly, ��Ye Yuan, this time, you��ve offended the three great supremacies at once. They will definitely view you as a thorn in the side. With our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s accumulations, we probably can��t hold them off!��


    Mi Tian frowned and said, ��This matter is indeed troublesome. But in the present situation, Ye Yuan is an arrow notched on the bow; no choice but to release it! Otherwise, if Heavenless that brat really refines the chaos heavenly pill, the consequences will be too dreadful to contemplate. How about this? This progenitor will migrate all of the four symbols true spirit clans to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Whatever they are going to do, this progenitor will receive it all!��


    The moment these words came out, Cloudmount, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest were all visibly moved.


    They did not expect that Mi Tian could actually go so far for Ye Yuan��s sake!


    One had to know that the four symbols true spirit clans had already been in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven for got knows how many years already.


    That place was their root. It was their home that was passed down from generation to generation!


    Furthermore, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven belonged to a higher level plane. The heaven and earth spiritual energy, origin comprehensions, all were much stronger than Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    But Mi Tian was actually going to migrate the four symbols true spirit clans over for Ye Yuan��s sake!


    Cloudmount frowned and said, ��Senior Mi Tian, this is no joke! I know that you��re powerful and your prestige in the Azure Dragon Clan is extremely high. But, migration this sort of thing, the implications are too deep. You still have to think thrice!��


    Mi Tian waved his hand and said, ��Those three great supremacies are each harboring their own ulterior motives. No matter which one of the three of them transcends the Great Beyond in the end, it will be a cataclysmic disaster for us. Therefore, what does it matter where we are? Alright, my mind is made up. No need to urge anymore.��


    �� . .


    Very soon, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s news spread out, and all the heavens were shocked!


    Except, the protagonist of everyone��s discussion was Ye Yuan, this unknown Emperor Vast Heaven powerhouse.


    ��Ancestor Heavenless actually didn��t die! Luckily, I withstood the temptation and didn��t go to the Labyrinth Divine Palace. Otherwise, it would probably have been impossible to escape my doom this time.��


    ��Who��s Ye Yuan? This guy actually made the three great overlord Hegemons suffer a loss? Why have I never heard of this name before?��


    ��This boy actually just came out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! According to what I know, in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, Supreme Hegemons can already claim hegemony!��


    ��There��s also news that just came over. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven also produced a genius called Yang Qing this time, suppressing all the geniuses from all heavens! And Ye Yuan is even more monstrous than this genius. He couldn��t even be bothered to compete with his peers!��


    �� . .


    When the geniuses from all heavens returned to their own factions, they naturally had to report to the top.


    And these news spread far and wide, sweeping across the entire 33 Heavens very quickly.


    Ye Yuan��s great reputation suddenly became known by all!


    Fiend race, Ancestor Kong Nie was currently pacing back and forth, clearly angered badly.


    He pointed at Kong Tan��s nose and cried out angrily, ��You��re great! Really excellent! Hur hur, you fool, you��ve lost Your Father��s face across the entire 33 Heavens this time! Are you satisfied? Mn?��


    Ye Yuan became famous across the 33 Heavens. Kong Tan also became famous across the 33 Heavens.


    It was just that it was about his notoriety .


    During the Labyrinth Divine Palace trip, the one who was the worst off was Kong Tan.


    Not only was he toyed like a monkey by Ye Yuan, but he was also even utterly played by Ancestor Heavenless and almost did not make it back.


    The fiend race Hegemons that he brought over had also all died out, the losses very severe.


    When these news spread out, the fiend race had already become the laughingstock of all the heavens. Kong Tan��s days were naturally difficult.


    Not just Kong Tan, even Kong Nie��s old face had nowhere to put.


    In just these few days of work, there were already several ��old friends�� who ran over to congratulate him.


    Kong Tan knelt down with a thud and said in tears, ��Progenitor, it �� it��s all because of that Ye Yuan! This child swears to definitely tear that punk��s corpse to pieces, and restore the dignity of my fiend race!��


    Kong Nie sneered and said, ��Hur hur, with just the likes of you? That Ye Yuan can refine the Eternal River��s chaos. His talent shakes you off by more than ten streets! He doesn��t even need to break through to Hegemon Realm and can already abuse you to tears! How can a genius that can make even the three great overlord Hegemons apprehensive be a mediocre person? Forget about Ye Yuan; even compared to that Yang Qing, you��re far worse too!��


    Kong Tan was scolded by Progenitor Kong Nie until he wished to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    Too little regard for his face!


    Kong Nie saw that he was unconvinced and said with a cold smile, ��Put away that pitiful pride of yours! From now on, don��t think about becoming enemies with Ye Yuan. You are not his match! Also, scram back to the clan and enter closed-seclusion for this progenitor! The 33 Heavens are going to fall into turmoil right away. If this progenitor doesn��t let you exit seclusion, you��re not allowed to take half a step out of the clan ground!��


    �� . .


    At Zhoutian Emperor Palace, inside a region of space, Ancestor Endless�� aura was feeble. Clearly, he was badly injured.


    By relying on his incredible cultivation, he rushed out of the Eternal River.


    However, he was refined into serious injuries by Heavenless to begin with. Being severely wounded by the Eternal River as well, he was currently almost dead.


    Next to him, Zhou Xianchen revealed a look of worry.


    ��Ancestor, are �� are you okay?��


    Ancestor Endless shook his head slightly and said, ��Won��t die, but not far from death either!��


    Zhou Xianchen said, ��Ancestor, rest assured. This child will definitely refine a chaos heavenly hill and help you recover your strength!��


    Ancestor Endless smiled bitterly and said, ��You are still a bit lacking! Even if there��s chaos heavenly medicines for you, you��ll be squandering good stuff too!��


    Zhou Xianchen did not argue anything. He knew that Ancestor was telling the truth.


    Ancestor Endless sighed and said, ��Old Man Heavenless is indeed still Old Man Heavenless! This time, it��s really a double loss! But fortunately, you broke through to Hegemon Realm too, and you became a chaos heavenly master! Your potential is greater than your father��s. You have hope of succeeding this ancestor��s mantle in the future! Remember, have more dealings with Ye Yuan in the future, this boy��s future accomplishments are limitless!��

 Chapter 3079 - Laying Out the Future!

    Birds cry plaintively before they die; men speak kindly in the presence of death.


    Ancestor Endless was not a kind person. Otherwise, he would not have defended the Zhou Family��s supreme position for hundreds of thousands of years.


    But this time, he was really injured.


    In the Labyrinth Divine Palace battle, he hurt his Dao foundation. There was no more hope of transcending the Great Beyond in this lifetime.


    Therefore, he needed to arrange for the Zhou Family��s future.


    In the Zhou Family, only Zhou Xianchen��s talent was the most significant. He was naturally the focus of heavy grooming.


    ��Ancestor, you can definitely recover your strength! Our Zhou Family won��t fall!�� Zhou Xianchen said in tears.


    Ancestor Endless smiled and said, ��I��m clear about my situation. This time, after almost being refined by Old Man Heavenless and also sustaining heavy wounds in the Eternal River��s chaos, my Dao foundation is already ruined. Even if I recover, my strength can��t recover to the peak anymore either. In fact, I can��t even maintain Great Beyond Realm anymore too! Hur hur, it��s all the influence of greed! Xianchen, in the future, you have to remember this ancestor��s lesson!��


    Zhou Xianchen knelt down and said, ��This child will bear it in mind!��


    Ancestor Endless nodded his head and continued, ��Xianchen, you��ve already entered Hegemon Realm. This ancestor no longer has anything to teach you. Your cultivation realm in the future will depend on your fortunes. Now, this ancestor will give you a mission. You must complete it!��


    Seeing Ancestor Endless say it solemnly, Zhou Xianchen��s expression turned somber, and he said solemnly, ��Ancestor, please instruct. Even if I lay down my life, Xianchen will complete it too!��


    Ancestor Endless said, ��Tomorrow, you lead half of Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s forces, and go to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven to cast your lot with Ye Yuan!��


    Zhou Xianchen��s entire body trembled, and he cried out in shock, ��What?! This �� How can we do this?��


    This order surprised Zhou Xianchen too much.


    He did not expect his ancestor to actually make such a shocking move.


    Half of the Zhou Family��s forces, that was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.


    This strength was sufficient to sweep across Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    One had to know that Zhoutian Emperor Palace had three Supreme Hegemons, seven to eight Peak Hegemons, and even more ordinary Hegemons.


    And this was also where the Zhou Family��s foundation lay.


    Now, he was actually going to make half of the forces go to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    This was a huge gamble!


    Ancestor Endless smiled and said, ��This ancestor knows what you want to say, but right now, the 33 Heavens�� situation is already very clear. It��s time to pick a side. Indeed, under those three old monsters�� powerful strength, the current Ye Yuan is still not considered much. But, once he can break the shackles and break through to Hegemon Realm, even if it��s those three old monsters, they will tremble too!��


    Zhou Xianchen said in confusion, ��I know that Ye Yuan��s talent is unprecedented throughout the ages, but he��s a divergent cultivator after all! Although he has already broken through to Emperor Sakra Heaven, he��s still far away from the three great ancestors�� realm, no?��


    The look in Ancestor Endless�� eyes revealed a wise light, and he said with a nod, ��I don��t understand this Ye Yuan, but I understand Old Man Heavenless! Someone that can make him afraid is absolutely worth us casting our lots! Doesn��t Old Man Heavenless know that he��s a divergent cultivator? But why is he still afraid of Ye Yuan? There weren��t divergent cultivators who broke through to Hegemon Realm in the past, but it doesn��t mean that there won��t be in the future, understand?��


    Zhou Xianchen was shocked in his heart and nodded solemnly.


    He did not expect Ancestor to actually evaluate Ye Yuan from this angle.


    Who was Ancestor Heavenless?


    That was humanity��s number one major power, the strongest genius since ancient times!


    He was afraid, which meant that Ye Yuan had hope of breaking through to Hegemon Realm!


    The next day, Zhoutian Emperor Palace brought half of Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s forces, shattering the void and leaving!


    Half of this force was not just Hegemon Realm. There were also the powerhouses under Hegemon Realm, and the number reached tens of thousands of people!


    These were all the Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s elite forces.


    This matter caused a great sensation in Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven.


    Regarding Ancestor Endless�� decision, the other three great factions all turned their noses up in disdain.


    In the Eternal River��s branch stream, the Zuo Family��s ancestor said with a snicker, ��Hur hur, Ancestor Eternal River suffered too great a stimulus this time. He actually made such a stupid move! He actually bet all of the Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s treasures on a divergent cultivator.��


    ��It��s also an action that can��t be helped. Old Man Heavenless is about to see the light of day again. He has already offended Old Man Heavenless badly. It��s naturally impossible to seek refuge with him anymore,�� Melody Nether Heavenly Sect��s ancestor said coolly.


    ��Zhoutian Emperor Palace is considered finished. However, we��ve also reached the point of taking sides! When Ancestor Heavenless returns, he probably won��t allow us to refuse!�� Purple Extreme Heaven Pavilion��s ancestor let out a sigh and said.


    The moment he said so, the other two people both fell silent.


    �� . .


    On Heavenly Dragon Island, Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, the people in charge of the four symbols family clans were all present!


    ��I object! Progenitor, I know that Ye Yuan saved your life, but you can��t use our entire clan��s lives to joke about too! Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven is where our foundation lies. But now, you want to go to a low-level plane. How will the entire clan view you?��


    When Mi Tian explained his intentions, his own supporter, Long Jian, was actually the first to jump out and oppose it.


    The other three clans�� leaders also all had tightly furrowed brows, rather unhappy.


    The Dragon Clan was the Dragon Clan. In terms of bloodline nobility, their three clans were not the slightest bit worse than the Dragon Clan.


    Now, Progenitor Mi Tian actually made the decision for them.


    ��Progenitor Mi Tian, this is also too ridiculous, right? This time, although you saved our three clans, you also can��t make our three clans bet all of our lives because of this, right?�� Luan Qinghe said unhappily.


    ��Want to go, your Dragon Clan can go yourself! Our White Tiger Clan absolutely won��t leave Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven! Unless Progenitor Mi Tian, you, annihilate our clan!�� Bai Zhi did not give the slightest bit of face and outrightly refused.


    Xuan Taiqing said coolly, ��Progenitor, wanting to make us migrate, shouldn��t you convince Long Jian they all first? You all can��t even get your people on-board. What right do you have to make us migrate?��


    Progenitor Mi Tian smiled and said, ��I presume you all have also heard about the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s matter. Now, the scheme has already gradually become clear. That��s right. Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven is indeed where our foundation lies. But can there be unbroken eggs when the nest is totally wrecked? Once the blood race army arrives, do you all really think that just based on us four clans, we��ll be able to defend Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven? Back then, during the Labyrinth Divine Palace upheaval, Heavenless that brat only temporarily didn��t storm Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven on account of this progenitor��s face. If the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s army really comes, can you all stop them?��


    Everyone��s expressions changed.


    These words were not false!


    Progenitor Mi Tian and Ancestor Heavenless�� master were on very close terms. Ancestor Heavenless only did not make a move against Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven on account of his face.


    But later, Hegemon Samsara took action. Apart from the dragon race, the other three races joined the battle too.


    It was impossible for Ancestor Heavenless not to remember the enmity!


    ��Humph! No matter what, making our four clans migrate for a divergent cultivator who��s destined to never break through to Hegemon, this is also too preposterous! Progenitor, pardon us for not complying with the order!�� Bai Zhi said in a solemn voice.


    But at this time, a figure suddenly appeared.


    He looked at Mi Tian and said coldly, ��Mi Tian, are you crazy? For Ye Yuan that boy, you actually want to make the entire Dragon Clan be buried in death? If you want to migrate, sure. You and I have a fight! You can talk again after killing me!��

 Chapter 3080 - A Hundred Claws Scratching the Heart!

    Mi Tian looked at the arrival and just smiled.


    He was not surprised about Mi Zhen��s appearance.


    Mi Zhen was extremely cold-blooded and also extremely conceited. But, his feelings toward the Dragon Clan were not falsified.


    Although his methods previously made people despise him, his goal was indeed to make the dragon race stronger.


    He had his blood essence extracted by Blood Two, his Dao foundation ruined. He would not be able to advance any longer in this lifetime.


    But, hearing that Mi Tian was going to migrate the Dragon Clan, he still appeared.


    ��Progenitor, although I hate Mi Zhen very much, this time, I agree with him! Our Dragon Clan can��t migrate!�� Long Jian said straightforwardly.


    The conversation seemed to be over already.


    However, not only was Mi Tian not worried, he smiled even happier instead.


    ��Hur hur, got to admit, Ye Yuan this boy foresees with divine accuracy. So before coming here, he made me bring this!��


    Finished saying, everyone just felt a blur before their eyes, and they instantly disappeared.


    They were standing from God��s point of view, looking down on all life!


    Heaven volume!


    This feeling was magical to the extreme.


    ��Where is this? This feeling makes every pore of mine open up!��


    ��My God, I became Heavenly Dao? I feel like I��m controlling everything now!��


    ��What a magical feeling! What a wonderful experience! Progenitor Mi Tian, what �� what did you do to us?��


    ��Big Brother, I feel that I have hope of recovering my strength! Could �� Could this be the legendary Heaven volume of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings?��


    Mi Zhen��s experience and knowledge were naturally not what others could compare to.


    This incomparably wonderful feeling, he thought of the Heaven volume right away!


    But, the moment he said it, the others were even more shocked!


    ��This is actually the Heaven volume! No wonder Ancestor Heavenless could reach that kind of terrifying realm. With this thing, I won��t be worse than him either!��


    ��12 Heavenly Dao Paintings! Progenitor Mi Tian, why would you have such a thing? Can you keep on letting me comprehend like this? I��m willing to pay any price!��


    ��I��m willing too!��


    ��Big Brother, have you had a change of heart and specifically let me gain enlightenment on the Heaven volume? I �� I��ll definitely repent in earnest and reform my former faults!�� Mi Zhen cried bitterly and said.


    Whoosh!


    In a twinkle, everyone returned from heaven to the mortal world.


    The few people exchanged glances, an immense sense of loss on their faces.


    That sort of experience just now was really too amazing.


    Reaching their level of boundary, even the slightest improvement in cultivation, was harder than ascending to heaven.


    But, with the Heaven volume, they were confident that they could break through to Great Beyond Realm!


    Mi Tian looked at everyone rather interestedly. Seeing the reaction on their faces, he knew that it was done!


    These people could not resist the temptation of the Heaven volume at all!


    ��Progenitor Mi Tian, why are we back? This �� This bit of time is too short!�� Bai Zhe was the first to speak up.


    Clearly, he was already deeply drawn by that miraculous feeling.


    ��Yeah, Progenitor, you��re deliberately whetting our appetites! Give us some more time and I feel that I can break through to Great Beyond Realm already!�� Xuan Taiqing said impatiently.


    ��Big Brother, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I beg you, let me comprehend a while more! Although I��m unable to make any more breakthroughs, this Heaven volume can restore my cultivation realm!��


    Among these people, the most anxious was Mi Zhen.


    His Dao foundation was ruined. Currently, his strength was merely equivalent to the weakest Hegemon Realm.


    Putting it bluntly, he was a piece of trash.


    To the current him who was in a prominent position in the past, this kind of temptation was too great!


    However, Mi Tian just shrugged and said with a smile, ��Sorry, Ye Yuan only injected this much chaos divine essence into the Heaven volume. The effects of the Heaven volume can only be maintained for so long too.��


    The few people��s faces turned black, instantly understanding what Progenitor Mi Tian wanted to do.


    Terrific lad, he was preparing for this!


    This old thing was really cunning, throwing out such a huge bait at them. Turns out that it was to make them agree to the migration.


    Dream on!


    But that kind of feeling just now was really very marvelous!


    Great Beyond Realm had already blocked them for countless years.


    This step was as difficult as ascending to heaven!


    But, with the Heaven volume, it was completely different!


    The few of them were all top geniuses of all races.


    As long as they immersed in that feeling just now for a while more, they believed that they would definitely be able to break through!


    ��Progenitor Mi Tian, other things can be discussed, but this great migration is absolutely impossible! Other than this, I��m willing to pay any price, as long as you can lend me the Heaven volume! I guarantee that as long as I break through to Great Beyond Realm, I��ll immediately return it!�� Bai Zhe said.


    Mi Tian��s face still had a faint smile hanging as he shook his head and said, ��Even if I lend you the Heaven volume, it will likely be very hard for you to break through to Great Beyond Realm too! The 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings are activated using chaos divine essence. Only then can it unleash the greatest effect! Otherwise, with the Labyrinth Divine Palace having so many geniuses, why did it only give birth to 12 Great Beyond Realms?��


    The moment this was said, everyone became indignant.


    Bai Zhi snorted coldly and said, ��Progenitor Mi Tian, if you��re not lending, so be it. Is it interesting to deceive us with these words?��


    Mi Tian smiled and directly threw the Heaven volume over.


    Bai Zhi��s face was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously injected his divine essence into it.


    Whoosh!


    Sure enough, his perspective underwent a change again.


    But, compared to that marvelous feeling just now, the feeling this time was too vague.


    Just like, the feeling earlier was clear glass.


    But the feeling now was frosted glass.


    With that experience previously, the experience now became extremely trash.


    He was not some rookie and immediately determined that Mi Tian was not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    If his cultivation realm was very low, this Heaven volume would be a priceless treasure to him.


    But, reaching his cultivation realm, this kind of vague experience was unable to rapidly improve his strength and help him reach Great Beyond Realm.


    Otherwise, everyone would have been able to break through to Great Beyond Realm.


    Returning to reality, Bai Zhi��s face was stunned for a while, and he muttered, ��This �� How can this be?��


    When the others saw Bai Zhi��s expression, they immediately understood it.


    How vicious!


    Mi Tian and Ye Yuan, this one old and one young, two foxes, really schemed against them badly!


    If it was just throwing out the Heaven volume, they would not have been moved either.


    But, with that experience earlier, it was like getting addicted to drugs, unable to stop even if they wanted to!


    The temptation of Great Beyond Realm was really too great!


    Supreme Hegemon and Great Beyond Realm, although they were the same cultivation realm, it was worlds apart.


    Mi Tian saw the few people feeling like a hundred claws were scratching their hearts, and he said with a smile, ��Ye Yuan said that in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, the Heaven volume can be used without limit! He��ll provide sufficient chaos divine essence to help everyone increase their strength. The Heaven volume is the general outline of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings. It��s the most important volume. With it, with your talents, reaching Great Beyond Realm is indeed not hard. But, without chaos divine essence, it��s similarly immensely difficult for you all to want to break through to Great Beyond Realm. You guys also know that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is going to face enemies very soon. It��s impossible for Ye Yuan to take the time to come to Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven and help you all gain enlightenment!��


    Finished saying, Mi Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a smile like he had swayed everyone on his face, awaiting everyone��s decision.

 Chapter 3081 - Chaos Origin Formation

    The great migration started!


    This great migration shook the entire 33 Heavens.


    ��Old Man Mi Tian, is he nuts? For the sake of a divergent cultivator, he actually gave up on the entire Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven?��


    ��The four great true spirit clans, that��s the 33 Heavens�� top faction! Back then, in their prime, the four symbols families all had Great Beyond powerhouses holding down the fort. Didn��t expect that they actually fell to such a point now.��


    ��Those innate chaos true spirits were born in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven. The four great true spirit clans�� bloodlines are also most suitable for Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven. They actually gave up on their land of foundation and ran to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, that sort of low-level plane. It will definitely be incredibly difficult for their clansmen to want to break through.��


    ��Heh, just wait to see the joke! The entire Dragon Clan migrating, their clansmen will definitely have a lot of resentment. When they arrive at Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this kind of team won��t have combat power at all!��


    ��Oh, right, there��s also the Nirvanic Soul Clan and Zhoutian Emperor Palace. Ancestor Endless is considered to have stumbled this time. The Nirvanic Soul Clan actually completely broke away from the Qi Soul Clan this time, and they cast their lots with Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Imperishable that old ghost has also lost his mind!��


    �� . .


    The Hegemon Realms from the various major factions in all heavens were all discussing this great migration.


    Ye Yuan��s monstrousness was already known to all.


    But, whether or not he could prop up the future, everyone was not optimistic about it.


    After all, this was the world of the strong, not the world of geniuses.


    The three great supremacies were too strong!


    They were the closest people to transcending the Great Beyond in the 33 Heavens!


    Geniuses only had hope of becoming a powerhouse. They were not genuine powerhouses.


    If they did not grow up for one day, they were still just rookies. That was all.


    Although the three great supremacies suffered severe injuries, they all had powerful factions behind them.


    Especially the blood race��s progenitor, he created an extremely powerful race.


    No one knew how strong this race was at all.


    This was because everyone understood that what they saw was merely just the tip of the iceberg.


    �� . .


    However, the reality was different from what everyone imagined.


    The self-slapping law was manifested to the fullest expression of its beauty and form on the four great true spirit clans�� powerhouses.


    1


    In Extreme Light Pavilion��s space, Extreme Medicine Sect.


    At this time, Bai Zhi was currently following behind Ye Yuan subserviently in a very anxious manner.


    It was a huge array formation in front of him. Ye Yuan was currently pacing back and forth, thinking deeply.


    ��Younger Brother Ye, can this really work? Drawing the Eternal River��s chaos to a major world, this is unheard of!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��This array formation was actually already conceived by me when I was comprehending chaos. It��s just that at that time, my Formation Dao was not perfected yet. That��s why I didn��t take action all along. Now, my Formation Dao has entered origin. My cultivation realm has also entered Emperor Sakra Heaven. There��s still some certainty of succeeding.��


    Bai Zhi felt akin to being relieved of a heavy burden and said, ��Then that��s good! That��s good! Younger Brother Ye, you have to hurry up. Time waits for no one! Who knows when the blood race will come to attack Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?��


    ��Senior, rest assured. I��m even more anxious than you all. But, the more urgent it is, the slower it has to be done, no? Otherwise, what��s delayed is everyone��s cultivation realm,�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Bai Zhi nodded like a rattle drum and praised repeatedly, ��Right, right, right! Younger Brother Ye��s composure is really outstanding!��


    The intention of the drunkard lies not in the wine �C having an ulterior motive. Ye Yuan naturally understood that Bai Zhi was anxious to cultivate the Heaven volume.


    When in Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, Mi Tian tossed out a heavyweight bombshell.


    That was, Ye Yuan would set up an array formation and provide a steady flow of chaos divine essence, and let everyone be able to comprehend the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings.


    Originally, Bai Zhi and the rest were still worried about how to convince their clansmen.


    But with this, nothing was a problem anymore.


    Nobody could resist the temptation of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings!


    Ye Yuan comprehended chaos in the Eternal River and re-cultivated his cultivation method. He no longer needed to enter the Eternal River to comprehend anything anymore.


    However, he needed a steady flow of Eternal River chaos to cultivate.


    It was just that. Going to the Eternal River each time was too troublesome. Hence, that was why he thought of this idea.


    Entering the Labyrinth Divine Palace this time, Ye Yuan comprehended Formation Dao origin and witnessed the power of the number one great formation in all the heavens. It had a huge inspiration to him.


    He was currently using the most basic nine array elements to construct this grand array.


    Ye Yuan called this grand array as Chaos Origin Formation.


    He would also set up a sub-array in the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s Eternal River chaos.


    Then it would be like a channel, drawing the Eternal River��s chaos over.


    And for the Extreme Light Pavilion��s main formation, Ye Yuan even integrated his chaos divine essence, converting the Eternal River��s chaos that was drawn over into chaos divine essence.


    Then it pumped the chaos divine essence into the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings for everyone to cultivate.


    This was Ye Yuan��s idea.


    It sounded fantastical, but to Ye Yuan, it was not considered a very difficult array formation.


    Putting it bluntly, this was a high-level transmission array.


    It was just that this transmission array was a little too difficult.


    Ordinary formation path masters could not set up this kind of array formation at all.


    In this world, only Ye Yuan alone could set up this array formation!


    Because what he gained enlightenment on was chaos divine essence!


    Furthermore, this Eternal River��s chaos could only be completed using those nine array elements too.


    Ordinary formation path methods could not withstand the weight of the Eternal River at all.


    The more the array elements, the looser the array formation would be.


    Using the fundamental nine array elements to set up the array formation was the most stable!


    Half a year later, only to hear a loud bang.


    A gap directly opened up in the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space. The Eternal River��s chaos flooded like raging floodwaters.


    After the Eternal River��s chaos entered, it was directly absorbed by the Chaos Origin Formation, returning to tranquility.


    This feeling was like a headwater channel.


    Mi Zhen, Long Jian, Bai Zhi, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest trembled all over when they saw the situation.


    Zhuo Bufan said with an emotional sigh, ��Drawing the Eternal River��s chaos into the mortal world, this scene is really spectacular! Ye Yuan, this boy, is really unbelievably strong!��


    While Mi Zhen was incomparably excited as he said agitatedly, ��I can finally recover my strength! Hahaha �� In the future, this Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will be my home!��


    Long Jian and the others were similarly extremely excited.


    This was because they finally had the hope of stepping to Great Beyond Realm!


    Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Mi Zhen was the first to go up and greet him, saying agitatedly, ��Ye Yuan, how is it? Can �� Can it work?��


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The Chaos Origin Formation is very successful! These Eternal River chaos are currently being converted to chaos divine essence in an endless stream. I��ve set up several hundred miniature array formations in the Extreme Light Pavilion. When you guys enter the rooms, you��ll be able to gain enlightenment on the Heavenly Dao Painting. Are the geniuses that your various races picked ready?��


    Long Jian said, ��It��s long done. Just waiting for you! Those little bastards are all already impatient from waiting! Haha, Ye Yuan brat, if I, this old dragon, can step into Great Beyond Realm this time, if you say to head east in the future, I definitely won��t go west!��


    ��We��re all one family. No need to be courteous. However, Mi Zhen, I��m still a little worried about letting you recover your strength.�� While talking, Ye Yuan looked at Mi Zhen.


    The latter only felt a chill run down his back, and he hurriedly said, ��Don��t, Ye Yuan! I��ve already turned over a new leaf! I��ll swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now. As long as I recover my strength, I��m willing to be your henchman for 100 thousand years! I��m willing to do whatever you make me do!��

 Chapter 3082 - Blood Race Attacks!

    ��I say, you guys, has Ancestor gone crazy? He made Zhou Xianchen bring all the sect��s elites away!��


    ��Zhoutian Emperor Palace is considered thoroughly finished! From now on, there are only three forces left in our Abyss Pass Origin Grotto Heaven!��


    ��Sigh, we all don��t even have the qualifications to be brought away. Speaking of which, it��s really heartbreaking!��


    ��Heh heh, you want to go to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven? That kind of low-level plane, what can you do after you go?��


    �� . .


    Not a single soul around, the present Zhoutian Emperor Palace seemed somewhat withered.


    Although there were still half the people, these people could be said to all have been abandoned.


    They gathered together in twos and threes and were chatting about the Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s rise and fall.


    Three years had passed, and the Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s decline was visible to the naked eye.


    If not for the fact that there were still Supreme Hegemons holding down the fort in the sect, the Zhoutian Emperor Palace would have long dispersed.


    Regarding Ancestor Endless�� decision, they all felt that it was very absurd.


    But at this time, someone laughed coldly. ��A bunch of idiots!��


    Everyone��s expressions changed, and someone scolded angrily, ��Zhou Ming, although you��re of the Zhou Family��s bloodline, you��re a good-for-nothing. You can��t even break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven in this lifetime. What qualifications do you have to mock us here?��


    The Zhou Family was the most illustrious in the Zhoutian Emperor Palace. However, the family clan was too big. There were always some people who were in a melancholic state of mind.


    Resources were always grasped in the hands of the minority.


    This Zhou Ming was also of the Zhou Family��s bloodline. But unfortunately, his aptitude was too poor. He had already been stuck at peak Emperor Vast Heaven for many years.


    He exhausted all kinds of methods and could not break through to Emperor Sakra Heaven too.


    Being scolded a good-for-nothing, Zhou Ming was indifferent and said with a sneer, ��You all still don��t know yet, right? That Ye Yuan can let everyone comprehend the Heaven volume. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven has already given birth to a number of Hegemon Realm powerhouses! Zhou Xianyu, Lin Cheng, and more than ten people have all already stepped into Hegemon Realm! News came over from there. In these three years, the Hegemon Realms that broke through in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven have reached 200! Now, some of the Hegemon Realms remaining in the Zhoutian Emperor Palace can��t sit still anymore!��


    The moment these words came out, it directly stunned everyone.


    Zhou Ming was of the Zhou Family��s bloodline. His information channels were much more than them.


    They thought that half of the emperor palace��s elites all went to the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven to court death.


    Who knew that such a shocking reversal actually happened.


    In a short three years, a plane actually gave birth to 200 Hegemon Realm powerhouses!


    This number was too terrifying!


    But after the shock, there was endless mockery because they did not believe it at all.


    ��What?! Those two martial uncles have been stuck in origin realm for ten thousand years! They just went for three years and broke through?��


    ��Hur hur, Zhou Ming, do you take us all to be fools? You��re using this sort of words to scare us?��


    ��Yeah! Zhou Ming, come up with a draft before boasting! 200 Hegemon Realm experts? Do you think that they are cabbages?��


    �� . .


    Zhou Ming said disdainfully, ��Although I��m a good-for-nothing, I��m more well-informed than you guys! Do you all know what the Heaven volume is? 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, that��s something that even the three great supremacies are moved by! Ancestor also returned with serious injuries because of it! With this sharp tool, what does helping some powerhouses who are stuck in origin realm to break through the fetters count as? It��s just that these 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings didn��t unleash such a terrifying effect in Ancestor Heavenless�� hands too! This Ye Yuan is really remarkable!��


    Seeing Zhou Ming saying it with certainty, everyone believed it a little more.


    Someone asked, ��Is what you said true?��


    Zhou Ming smiled coldly and said, ��This matter isn��t some secret! The true spirit race��s great migration is also for this priceless treasure! The news naturally can��t be hidden! I even heard that the four symbols true spirit clans gave birth to dozens of Hegemon Realms in these three years! Furthermore, several ancestor level powerhouses are already almost breaking through to Great Beyond Realm! You all think that the Zhoutian Emperor Palace is hopeless? You all think that those people went to court death? Hur hur, they are the true winners!��


    With this, everyone was stupefied.


    They knew about the great migration, but their information was indeed not well-informed enough.


    Previously, they still found it odd. Was the true spirit race all morons? To actually migrate to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    But now, they finally understood it!


    Turns out that it was actually because of this!


    ��In that case �� our Zhoutian Emperor Palace actually made the right bet?��


    Zhou Ming shook his head and said, ��This is hard to say! If they can withstand the blood race progenitor��s wrath, our Zhoutian Emperor Palace will be humanity��s number two powerful sect in the future! Ancestor��s decision is indeed not what the likes of us can see through!��


    Before this, everyone had endless criticisms of Ancestor Endless�� decision.


    But no one dared to question it.


    But, hearing this news, everyone was shocked.


    Hegemon Realms were too important to a faction!


    In reality, Ancestor Endless himself was also very shocked.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan actually came up with a Chaos Origin Formation and could let everyone comprehend the Heaven volume!


    Furthermore, Ye Yuan did not pay special regard to the Zhoutian Emperor Palace too.


    Regarding the elites that he sent, they entered the Extreme Light Pavilion after going through a screening.


    And these people all broke through!


    This was simply a huge pleasant surprise.


    When Zhou Ming got this news, it was also intentionally leaked by the upper levels.


    It was for the sake of boosting confidence!


    Everyone was currently digesting this news when suddenly, the color of the sky changed!


    A blood-red light instantly shrouded the sky, blazing like the resplendent sunset.


    This blood-redness gave everyone an extremely foreboding feeling.


    ��Mn? What��s going on? Why did the sky suddenly turn red?��


    ��I seem to smell a thick, bloody scent!��


    Zhou Ming suddenly thought of something, his expression changing drastically as he said, ��Not good! It��s the blood race! The blood race is here to attack our Zhoutian Emperor Palace!��


    Before his voice faded, it was only to see countless figures in the horizon currently flying towards the Zhoutian Emperor Palace.


    That thick bloody energy surrounded the blood race army, covering the sky and blotting out the sun.


    Before they approached, everyone felt an apocalyptic-like fear.


    Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s powerhouses clearly felt the powerful auras, flying out of the emperor palace one by one, and looked at the arriving enemies.


    Ancestor Endless�� son, Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s master, Zhou Tianyu, appeared in front of everyone very soon.


    Only when everyone saw him did they calm down slightly.


    Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s disciples all knew that this was the number one person under Great Beyond, a powerhouse with half a foot stepped into Great Beyond!


    It was just that. There was unprecedented solemness on Zhou Tianyu��s face.


    Very soon, an elderly figure appeared beside Zhou Tianyu.


    Zhou Tianyu said in a solemn voice, ��Isn��t the blood race��s progenitor going to attack Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven? Why would they come to attack our Zhoutian Emperor Palace?��


    Ancestor Endless was silent for a long time before sighing heavily and said, ��Most likely they are not just here to attack our Zhoutian Emperor Palace! The blood race is probably going to start a war with all the heavens at the same time! I didn��t expect it. I really didn��t expect it! The blood race is actually already powerful to such an extent! The present blood race is likely even 100 times stronger than the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then! Looks like everyone has underestimated the blood race progenitor!��

 Chapter 3083 - : All the Heavens Catastrophe!

    ��Who comes? Could it be that you��re bullying my Zhoutian Emperor Palace for not having anyone?!�� Zhou Tianyu said in a solemn voice to the blood race army that was galloping over at full speed.


    Seeing the blood race��s powerful line-up, Zhou Tianyu was secretly alarmed.


    This blood race army actually had close to 100 Hegemon Realm powerhouses.


    The one leading was even an apex Supreme Hegemon!


    Just in terms of aura, he was not beneath him.


    However, no one answered him.


    Boom!


    The blood race army arrived with a howl. The slaughter directly started!


    Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s disciples did not expect that the blood race was actually so straightforward.


    For a moment, they were also caught off-guard.


    And Zhou Tianyu also faced off against that blood race Supreme Hegemon.


    Upon exchanging blows, he felt the other party��s strength.


    ��Humph! Do you really think that this seat is scared of you?��


    Zhou Tianyu saw that the other party completely could not be reasoned with and was also genuinely enraged.


    It was only to see him release his origin, his strength shocking heaven and earth.


    That blood race leader opposite was actually suppressed for some time too.


    By the side, Ancestor Endless did not move.


    Hearing the miserable cries of Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s disciples, his expression became more and more solemn.


    The blood race army��s objective was not to occupy Zhoutian Emperor Palace at all.


    Their objective was to kill!


    The blood race powerhouses completely disregarded casualties. There were never survivors under their hands either.


    Either you die or I perish!


    A will that looked death calmly in the face, coupled with the powerful ability to revive endlessly, made the blood race��s combat power go off the charts.


    While the present Zhoutian Emperor Palace was only left with some stragglers and disbanded soldiers, how could they be the other party��s match?


    However, these bloodkins seemed to have automatically overlooked Ancestor Endless.


    Ancestor Endless��s expression turned slightly dark, and he stared at a region of void and said coldly, ��Come on out. You��re still showing your tail but hiding your face in front of this seat?��


    The void trembled slightly. A figure appeared.


    He held a tiny blood-colored pearl in his bead.


    Only to see him toss lightly, the blood bead directly flew towards the sky and suspended above the sky of the battlefield.


    One wisp of blood energy after another was currently converging towards the blood bead.


    Seeing this scene, Ancestor Endless�� pupils constricted.


    When the other party saw Ancestor Endless, he smiled and said, ��A half-dead Great Beyond Realm, I haven��t taken you seriously yet. The reason why I didn��t appear is just that I was preparing the Blood Ward Bead. That��s all.��


    Ancestor Endless was incredibly shocked in his heart. This bloodkin opposite was clearly not the Chaos Bloodstone.


    But the other party was a true-blue Great Beyond powerhouse!


    He could tell from the other party��s eyes that he did not take him seriously at all.


    The moment this person appeared, dismay immediately welled up in Zhou Tianyu��s heart.


    If there was no Great Beyond powerhouse, they still had a glimmer of hope.


    But now, he was in despair.


    Ancestor Endless snorted coldly and said, ��Half-dead? This ancestor will let you see that the dignity of a Great Beyond powerhouse can��t be blasphemed!��


    Boom!


    Ancestor Endless stomped his feet. The Door of Eternal Life slowly opened up behind him.


    An extremely powerful saint force flowed out of the Door of Eternal Life.


    But his opponent still did not care because opening the Door of Eternal Life was tantamount to resorting to the last resort.


    This was merely Ancestor Endless�� last struggle.


    With Great Beyond battle starting, the bloody smell on the battlefield grew thicker and thicker.


    That Blood Ward Bead seemed to be extremely happy, absorbing that surging blood energy.


    Furthermore, this Blood Ward Bead seemed like it would never be full and would not grow larger too.


    Half a day later, Ancestor Endless slowly collapsed, endless reluctance and nostalgia in his gaze.


    This Great Beyond powerhouse who commanded two eras had fallen!


    ��Father!�� Zhou Tianyu��s voice carried the fury of despair.


    But he himself was already an arrow at the end of its flight too.


    Zhou Tianyu was very strong, but he was currently being besieged by more than ten Hegemons and already could not hold on anymore.


    Ancestor Endless�� collapse became the last strand of straw that crushed him.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Several powerful origin attacks landed on his body.


    Fresh blood spurted wildly from Zhou Tianyu��s mouth, and he was slammed onto the ground, looking like he was not going to make it.


    On the battlefield, Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s disciples were in twos and threes and could no longer form large groups.


    At Zhoutian Emperor Palace, corpses scattered everywhere.


    The Blood Ward Bead was still greedily absorbing blood energy.


    The Zhoutian Emperor Palace, humanity��s top major faction, collapsed with a loud bang.


    That Supreme Hegemon said with a bow, ��Lord Yi Yun, Zhoutian Emperor Palace has already been completely destroyed. There are no survivors!��


    Yi Yun nodded slightly and said, ��Clean up the battlefield. Let the Blood Ward Bead absorb sufficient blood energy! Progenitor coming into being this time, there can��t be any mistakes!��


    ��Yes!��


    �� . .


    Similar scenes were playing out in all heavens.


    The blood race came soaring into existence, shocking the entire 33 Heavens!


    Everyone knew that the blood race was strong but did not know that the blood race was actually so strong.


    Overnight, a large number of Great Beyond Realm mighty experts suddenly appeared in the blood race!


    Furthermore, their numbers were abundant until it terrified people. They actually waged war across the 33 Heavens simultaneously!


    Some low-level planes even completely fell into enemy hands within a month!


    This was a catastrophe!


    This time, the blood race would not talk any rubbish at all. What they brought was an endless slaughter.


    The blood race did not accept surrender, only death!


    Powerhouses in all heavens fell into a great panic all at once.


    For some time, the casualties were beyond count.


    Before this, everyone knew that the blood race had returned.


    But no one expected that it would cause such severe consequences.


    At Thundercry Continent, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Ye Yuan looked at the corpses all over the ground, his brows tightly knitted.


    ��Heh, they really think highly of me! In order to kill me, they actually sent five Great Beyond powerhouses!�� Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.


    By the side, Mi Tian sighed and said, ��We all underestimated the blood race! I really didn��t expect that in these several hundred thousand years, the blood race actually accumulated such a terrifying force!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��This force should have only appeared recently! There are many blood race Hegemon Realms, but wanting to break through to Great Beyond Realm is absolutely no easy task! If my conjectures are right, the Chaos Bloodstone should have obtained the four great true spirit bloodlines. That��s how they created so many Great Beyond powerhouses!��


    Mi Tian was shocked in his heart, and only then he came to realize the truth.


    The Chaos Bloodstone schemed for a long time, acquiring the four great true spirit bloodlines.


    Back then, Ye Yuan already said that even though his strength increased by so much, there was no reason that the Chaos Bloodstone would not be strong.


    It was just that they did not expect that what came was actually so terrifying!


    Mi Tian frowned and said, ��The current situation isn��t optimistic! Several low-level planes such as Yuan Ming Wen Ju Heaven and Xuanming Gong Qing Heaven have already completely fallen into enemy hands. Those planes already became the brutal battlefield of the blood race. According to what I know, the situation of the human race��s three supreme heavens isn��t optimistic either! Zhoutian Emperor Palace has already ����


    When he received the news, Zhou Xianchen directly passed out.


    He locked himself in and only came out three days later.


    Then, he brought Zhoutian Emperor Palace��s powerhouses and fought dauntlessly in bloody battles with the blood race.


    Different from other heavens, the blood race encountered stubborn resistance in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    In this one month, the army that Mi Tian and Ye Yuan led had already repelled the blood race��s frenzied attacks four times.


    In order to kill Ye Yuan, the blood race even sent five mighty Great Beyond powerhouses over.


    It was just that sadly, the Chaos Bloodstone had times where he miscalculated too.


    Long Jian, Bai Zhi, Luan Qinghe, Xuan Taiqing, four people, broke through to Great Beyond Realm in succession.


    Joining hands with Mi Tian and Mi Zhen, two great apex powerhouses, they actually forcibly killed four out of the five mighty Great Beyond Realms!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven virtually became the only place in the entire 33 Heavens where results bore fruit!

 Chapter 3084 - Jinx!

    ��Kill, kill, kill! Kill all of these blood dogs until not even a fragment of armor remains!��


    Zhou Xianchen casually squashed a blood race Emperor Sakra Heaven, both eyes blood-red.


    In the past few days, he was extremely fierce, suddenly incarnating into a god of killing, making his opponents feel a chill.


    Just yesterday, Zhou Xianchen even personally killed a blood race Hegemon.


    Having comprehended the Heaven volume, Zhou Xianchen��s strength advanced by leaps and bounds again, and he was already not far from Peak Hegemon.


    He relied on his powerful strength and kept charging at the front lines in the war with the blood race, with no fear of death.


    He did not care about some scars at all.


    The blood race was bloodthirsty. He was similarly full of killing intent.


    Father, Ancestor, and also many brothers and sisters were all wiped out!


    This blood feud made him dare not relax in the least bit.


    Having blocked four rounds of attacks in succession, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven began to counterattack.


    The blood race army was being suppressed crazily and had already retreated to the vicinity of the boundary wall.


    Ye Yuan and Yang Qing took the lead. Wherever they went, none could last a single exchange with them.


    The two of them were too strong!


    They were virtually invincible under Hegemon Realm!


    The blood race��s revival was not considered some technique to them at all.


    Yang Qing still took some effort to kill them, but Ye Yuan completely obliterated the bloodkins in the same rank with just one punch.


    Wherever they went, the bloodkins did not dare to confront them head-on at all.


    After experiencing the Labyrinth Divine Palace battle, the Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven that survived, each and every one of them was extremely powerful.


    They were not at all inferior when compared to the geniuses from humanity��s three supreme heavens.


    As for those blood race Hegemons, they wanted to kill Ye Yuan very much, but Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had too many Hegemon Realms!


    Furthermore, with six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses holding down the fort, they had no chance at all.


    ��Hahaha �� What bullshit number one race in all the heavens, really weak to the max! Isn��t there a single one who can fight?�� Yang Qing��s long spear danced as if nobody on earth could beat him.


    Yet, the blood race powerhouses could not do anything to him.


    The present Yang Qing, even 20 to 30 origin powerhouses found it hard to get close to him.


    Moreover, the blood race was already a spent force.


    Boom!


    The boundary wall collapsed. The bloodkins that were detained in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven were completely wiped out.


    ��Ye Yuan, let��s kill our way over!�� Yang Qing got excited from killing and actually did not want to stop.


    The plane this area of boundary wall connected to was Yuan Ming Wen Ju Heaven. It had already completely fallen.


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��The blood race is so arrogant. We naturally have to teach them a lesson!��


    �� . .


    At Yuan Ming Wen Ju Heaven, the supreme leader, Lan Jie, was currently drinking blood in a palace, his expression enjoying it very much.


    That was the fresh blood of a Hegemon Realm powerhouse!


    ��Hur hur, what a cushy job! The likes of this kind of low-level plane, it��s too easy to take over! In less than ten years, Progenitor��s true self will be able to come into being, and the myriad worlds will tremble!�� Lan Jie said with a chuckle.


    ��Now, there��s news coming from all worlds. Apart from those few high-level planes, the other heavens are already in our pockets!�� Another Great Beyond powerhouse said with a smile.


    Lan Jie nodded and said, ��Is there news from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?��


    That person shook his head and said, ��There��s no news yet. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven currently has the true spirit clans around. It��s probably not easy to take over.��


    Lan Jie smiled and said, ��Hence, that��s why Progenitor sent Bloodooze five people to attack Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! No matter how powerful Mi Tian is, he��s also not a match for the five of them, right? Hur hur, wait patiently. Good news shouldn��t be far away. Also, that Ye Yuan, with five Great Beyond powerhouses taking action, it will likely be impossible for him to escape his doom!��


    Boom!


    With a loud bang, something fell from the sky, directly smashing through the great hall.


    Lan Jie two people hurriedly stood up and came to the large hole that was smashed out to take a look. It was a person!


    This person was precisely the Bloodooze that they had just mentioned!


    This Bloodooze was none other than precisely the Lord Wang Zuo back then!


    Having obtained bloodline transformation now, he also successfully broke through to Great Beyond Realm.


    Furthermore, his strength was very formidable!


    This time, he planned on going to kill Ye Yuan with a vengeful heart.


    Who knew that he kicked an iron plate.


    Putting aside that he failed to kill him, he even suffered heavy losses himself.


    The four Great Beyond powerhouses that he brought were all dead.


    ��Bloodooze, what happened to you? Where are the four of them?�� The smile on Lan Jie��s face was replaced by shock.


    Bloodooze��s strength was the strongest among them!


    With Progenitor making him bring a team to go and attack Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, it was counting on him to go and restrain Mi Tian. His strength could be seen.


    But now, Bloodooze��s appearance was totally like a dog who lost its home!


    ��A-All dead!�� Bloodooze used all the strength in his body and shouted.


    Lan Jie��s entire body shuddered heavily, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.


    Four Great Beyond powerhouses, they died just like that?


    When did Mi Tian become so strong?


    ��What in the world happened?�� Lan Jie shot out a ray of blood light, helping Bloodooze heal his injuries as he asked.


    Receiving Lan Jie��s treatment, Bloodooze��s consciousness became a little clearer, and he said, ��The four great true spirit clans�� Supreme Hegemons broke through to Great Beyond Realm at the same time! The Dragon Clan��s Mi Zhen also recovered his peak strength! The current Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven has six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses!��


    ��What?!�� Lan Jie two people almost jumped up.


    The news that Bloodooze brought was seriously too shocking!


    Six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses, even if it was those high-level planes, it was very hard to possess that too!


    A puny little Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually gave birth to six!


    Bloodooze said with unwillingness: ��The five of us directly killed our way to the Extreme Medicine Sect, planning on killing Ye Yuan in one go, and then swallow up Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. Who knew that Mi Zhen and the six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses suddenly appeared, directly surrounding us. Mi Tian and Mi Zhen are too strong, forcibly grinding the four of them to death! Even I almost lost my life there too! Oh, right! Mi Tian��s strength seems to be even stronger than before! When I faced him, I actually had the feeling like I was facing Progenitor! If not, we wouldn��t have suffered such heavy casualties either.��


    Lan Jie two people were dumbfounded from listening. This sudden turn of events caught them by surprise.


    With five mighty Great Beyond powerhouses, this was absolutely an extremely terrifying force.


    But who knew that they were ganged up on!


    What difference was this from walking right into a trap?


    ��How �� How did this happen?�� Lan Jie said in a daze.


    Bloodooze shook his head and said, ��D-Don��t know! These few years, we��ve been consolidating the various tribes and didn��t pay much attention to the outside world��s news. But, in just a few years�� time, how can so many Great Beyond powerhouses possibly pop out all of a sudden?��


    Lan Jie said gloomily, ��This Ye Yuan is really a jinx! Why does our blood race succumb at his hands every time?��


    The blood race reemerged this time, rampaging in all directions, virtually sweeping across the 33 Heavens.


    Yet, they suffered a loss in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    Right at this time, a subordinate hurriedly came to report.


    ��Lord Lan Jie, things are bad! Things are bad! Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army has broken through the boundary wall and has already charged over! Our people can��t stop them at all!��


    Lan Jie��s expression changed wildly, and he said, ��They really have such gall to actually dare cross worlds and come!��


    Bloodooze looked at him like looking at an idiot and said, ��They have six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses. Why won��t they dare to cross worlds and come? Stop standing stupidly, hurry up and bring me away! In addition, hurry up and send the news to Progenitor. Ask his elderly self to come and make a final decision!��

 Chapter 3085 - Yi Xue!

    ��What did you say? Six Great Beyond powerhouses actually appeared in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven in one go? How is this possible?��


    Chaos Bloodstone was incomparably shocked when he heard about Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s war situation.


    A Great Beyond powerhouse was a mobile nuclear weapon.


    Before acquiring the four great true spirit bloodlines, even he could not create so many Great Beyond powerhouses too.


    But now, six Great Beyonds actually appeared in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. How could he not be surprised?


    Yi Xue nodded and said, ��Originally, the war was going very smoothly. But I didn��t expect that we would meet with stubborn resistance in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. Now, Mi Tian has led Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and has already pursued us across three worlds!��


    Yi Xue was the blood race��s strongest person up to now.


    His strength was also top-notch among Great Beyond powerhouses.


    The Chaos Bloodstone��s clone was severely wounded, and he could not move out for the time being. Yi Xue was the subordinate that he relied most heavily on.


    The Chaos Bloodstone said in a solemn voice, ��Being able to give birth to six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses within a few short years, only the Heaven volume can accomplish it! But, even if Ye Yuan has the Heaven volume, he can��t shoulder so many people comprehending at the same time too! How on earth did this boy do it?��


    Yi Xue said, ��After I received the news, I already sent people to investigate it. It turns out that Ye Yuan set up a grand array and drew the power of the Eternal River��s chaos to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, and used the power of the Eternal River��s chaos, supplying them to cultivate the Heaven volume.��


    The Chaos Bloodstone was shocked again and said, ��This boy is really a genius! Others are all comprehending chaos, but he is already making use of chaos! Yi Xue, this boy can��t be kept alive. You make a trip! When necessary, use the Bloodcloud Grand Array!��


    Yi Xue gave a bow and said, ��Yes!��


    �� . .


    ��Lord Wang Zuo, didn��t you come to kill me? You��ve already crossed four worlds now. Why are you still running away?��


    Above the sky, Ye Yuan��s voice spread for thousands of miles, shocking the sky.


    In front, Bloodooze and the rest were anxious like dogs that lost their homes, but they did not even dare to turn their heads back.


    The army charged out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, chasing after the blood race army. They had already crossed four worlds!


    During this, Mi Tian and the others killed two more blood race Great Beyond powerhouses.


    The blood race army was already in a hot mess.


    At this time, Bloodooze and the rest gathered another five Great Beyond powerhouses. But they did not even have the courage to have a battle.


    Mi Tian and the rest were too strong. Without ten Great Beyond powerhouses, they did not even need to think about it.


    Furthermore, Bloodooze himself was also seriously injured and could not fight at all.


    ��Ye Yuan punk, don��t you be arrogant! Do you think that my blood race only has this bit of strength? After Progenitor knows about the news here, he��ll definitely send even stronger powerhouses. At that time, you just wait to stretch your neck out for the executer��s blade!�� Bloodooze lost in reality but did not lose in disposition as he roared angrily.


    ��Is that so? Then I��ll wait for him to come. But, when are you planning to run until? Continue fleeing and the 33 Heavens will learn about Lord Wang Zuo��s awe-inspiring reputation!��


    Bloodooze nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood. When their group was fleeing, it shocked heaven and earth. The target was too big.


    Now, wherever they passed through, virtually everyone knew where they had been.


    Their faces had nowhere to put anymore.


    The blood race swept across the 33 Heavens. In the end, they were swept away by Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven now.


    Suddenly, the void trembled. A figure stepped out.


    The arrival was a red-haired youth who stood with his hands behind his back.


    When Mi Tian saw him, he immediately made a hand gesture, and everyone stopped.


    This red-haired youth actually gave him a sense of oppression!


    One had to know, ever since comprehending the Universe scroll, his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, growing much stronger than before.


    But now, this red-haired youth in front of him could actually bring pressure upon him. It could be seen that he was not ordinary.


    ��This person is very strong!�� Mi Tian said.


    Ye Yuan was not surprised and said, ��Without some foundation, the blood race wouldn��t have dared to make all the heavens fall into a catastrophe too!��


    The moment Bloodooze and the rest saw the red-haired youth, it was as if they saw their savior. They were agitated until their eyes brimmed over with hot tears.


    Being pursued across four worlds, this was not a good experience.


    ��Lord Yi Xue, you��re finally here!�� Bloodooze said excitedly.


    Finished saying that, he turned to Ye Yuan again and said with a big smile, ��Ye Yuan punk, you were very delighted these few days, right? Now, do you know what��s called sorrow follows extreme joy?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��The winds of fortune changes. You��re so happy now. Be careful that sorrow follows extreme joy.��


    Bloodooze smiled coldly and said, ��That��s because you don��t know how strong Lord Yi Xue is! He is our blood race��s god of war, the number one person under Progenitor!��


    Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and slowly said, ��You guys can��t get away!��


    Mi Tian said coolly, ��If this progenitor wants to leave, nobody can stop me!��


    Yi Xue just smiled and slowly raised his arm.


    Suddenly, countless bloodkins appeared in the surrounding space and from all directions!


    There were even many Hegemon Realm powerhouses among them!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army fell into a tight encirclement all at once.


    When everyone saw the situation, their expressions could not help changing wildly.


    ��Not good! We��ve fallen into the blood race��s encirclement!��


    ��This �� Just the Great Beyond powerhouses are as many as nine people. What to do about this?��


    ��We penetrated deep into enemy territory alone and were too greedy for contributions by advancing rashly!��


    �� . .


    On Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s side, it fell into a panic at once.


    Seeing the looks of despair on everyone��s faces, Bloodooze was very satisfied.


    These few days had been too aggrieved!


    ��Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you still want to make me feel sorrow after extreme joy now? This blood race army that covers the sky, this seat sees how you run!�� Bloodooze said with a big laugh.


    Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and said coolly, ��Mi Tian, I know that you comprehended the Universe volume, your strength advancing by leaps and bounds. Wanting to make you stay isn��t easy, but this time, I��ve already made full preparations. This region of space, I��ve completely locked it down with 180 Hegemon Realms! Maybe it can��t stop you, but these people that you brought, there��s absolutely not a single one that can escape!��


    When everyone heard it, they could not help turning pale with fright.


    They wanted to carry out a teleportation but discovered that space was already completely frozen. They were unable to teleport at all.


    With this, they really panicked.


    Mi Tian said, ��So, you want to negotiate with me?��


    Yi Xue smiled and said, ��It saves effort to talk to a smart person. I only have one condition. Leave Ye Yuan behind! The others, I can let them all leave!��


    ��F*ck your mother! Wanting to leave Ye Yuan behind, you dream on! You��re called Yi Xue, right? Just you wait. When I, Yang Qing, step into Hegemon Realm, it will be the day that you die!�� Yi Xue��s words had just dropped when Yang Qing cursed viciously to his face.


    ��Yeah, it��s fine if we die! Heavenly Saint Ye can��t die!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye is our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s soul. We��re willing to fight to the death to help him escape!��


    ��Blood dog, you��re thinking too much! We won��t abandon him and leave!��


    �� . .


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s people immediately erupted with a series of responses.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan was already a god-like existence in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Ye Yuan was their spiritual pillar!


    Mi Tian looked at Yi Xue and said with a smile, ��You heard that? It��s impossible to leave Ye Yuan behind! Furthermore, this progenitor doesn��t feel that you can make us stay!��


    Yi Xue smiled and said, ��Mi Tian, you��re too confident in yourself!��


    But Mi Tian smiled and said, ��Whether or not it��s self-confidence, you��ll know later! Ye Yuan, do it!��

 Chapter 3086 - Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation!

    Mi Tian was calm and relaxed. Ye Yuan similarly had an indifferent look.


    These two people did not seem to have the awareness that they were trapped at all.


    Seeing Mi Tian look at him, Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, ��I��m really looking forward to the expression on their faces in a while.��


    Boom!


    Spatial origin power instantly burst forth from Mi Tian and Ye Yuan��s body.


    At this moment, it was as if the entire world��s space was going to collapse!


    Furthermore, Mi Tian and Ye Yuan��s spatial origin actually produced some kind of wondrous resonance!


    Logically speaking, Mi Tian and Ye Yuan, one was an apex Great Beyond powerhouse, while the other was just a rookie who had just entered Emperor Sakra Heaven not long ago. It was impossible for there to be resonance between these two people.


    But at the moment, this resonance was unbelievably strong!


    Mi Tian looked at Yi Xue and said with a smile, ��Do you really think that we��d be foolish enough to penetrate deep into enemy territory by ourselves? If we didn��t have some trump card, how can we possibly pursue across four worlds? This Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation was created by Ye Yuan and me a few days ago. You all just take a look at its power!��


    Yi Xue��s pupils constricted, and he cried out angrily, ��Quick! Don��t let them complete this move!��


    Finished saying, bloody energy rose violently on Yi Xue��s body, and a palm smacked toward Ye Yuan.


    At the same time, those Great Beyond Realm and Hegemon Realm powerhouses brought out their ultimate moves one after another, charging toward the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven army.


    For a moment, space shattered, and galaxy blew away!


    Swoosh!


    But before these moves landed, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army completely disappeared!


    ��Where are they? Can��t feel any aura at all!��


    ��How is this possible? Those were tens of thousands of people. They are gone just like that?��


    ��This sort of thing, even if it��s a Great Beyond Realm, it��s impossible to do it too, right?��


    ��With so many powerhouses, they can��t hide their auras at all! Could it be that they directly teleported out of this world with one teleportation? This �� How is this possible?��


    ��Just now, Progenitor Mi Tian seemed to have said that this move is called ��Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation��? Could it be that they have really crossed realms?��


    �� . .


    Everyone in the blood race was dumbfounded with shock!


    When Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army came out, they were all elites, with more than ten thousand powerhouses.


    Pursuing across four worlds, these four worlds still had many remnant powerhouses. Seeing the arrival of their saviors, they joined in one after another too.


    By then, it already reached close to 70 thousand!


    Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation bringing 70 thousand people, this was simply an unimaginable means!


    Even if one comprehended spatial origin and became Great Beyond Realm, it was impossible to accomplish this too.


    But these over 70 thousand people all vanished without even leaving behind a louse!


    The encirclement that Yi Xue carefully devised had completely turned into a joke.


    Meanwhile, Bloodooze and the others were motionless like wooden chickens.


    Where was the said revenge?


    When Yi Xue appeared, he was excited to the extreme, thinking that the opportunity for revenge had arrived.


    But in a blink, it was all for naught.


    That kind of feeling simply drove people crazy.


    ��L-Lord Yi Xue, is Mi Tian already strong to this kind of extent?�� Bloodooze said.


    Yi Xue��s expression was solemn, and he shook his head and said, ��No. It��s not Mi Tian who��s strong, but it was Ye Yuan!��


    Everyone was shocked!


    Although this move was jointly launched by Mi Tian and Ye Yuan, in everyone��s view, it must have been Mi Tian who played the leading role.


    Ye Yuan was just Emperor Sakra Heaven. How could he possibly be of much use?


    But, hearing Yi Xue��s words, that did not seem to be the case.


    Bloodooze said inexplicably, ��Y-Ye Yuan? He��s just Emperor Sakra Heaven!��


    Yi Xue said in a solemn voice, ��It��s precisely because he��s Emperor Sakra Heaven that it��s even scarier! The move just now was actually led by Ye Yuan! His comprehension of spatial origin probably doesn��t lose to Mi Tian by much anymore! When others comprehend origin, it��s very hard to walk out on their own Dao too. But he has already walked out on his own Dao!��


    ��What?! L-Led by Ye Yuan?�� Bloodooze was violently shocked.


    The other Hegemons had also all fallen into extreme shock!


    Such a big move, it was actually led by an Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    If this sort of thing came out of someone else��s mouth, they would have long given a tight slap.


    But Yi Xue��s realm was extremely profound. What he saw naturally would not be wrong.


    Yi Xue nodded and said, ��Greater teleportation technique is unable to penetrate the boundary wall at all! Even if it��s a Hegemon who comprehended spatial origin, it��s impossible to teleport across realms too! Clearly, Mi Tian can��t do it either! Ye Yuan��s means seem very weak, but the most crucial link in this move is constructing a spatial passageway in the boundary wall! Most likely, only by gaining enlightenment on the Eternal River��s chaos can one accomplish this! This boy is too monstrous. He absolutely can��t be kept alive!��


    Hearing Yi Xue��s analysis, everyone was stunned.


    Only then did they understand what kind of role Ye Yuan played in this.


    Boundary wall, that was an existence that Hegemon Realms could not pass through too.


    If Hegemons wanted to cross realms, they had to forcibly break down the boundary wall.


    But Ye Yuan actually constructed a spatial passageway in it and realized a spatial shift!


    Such means were inconceivable!


    Bloodooze said with unwillingness: ��Then �� Then are we letting them go just like that?��


    Yi Xue��s gaze was slightly intent, and he said in a solemn voice, ��The more this is so, the more we have to kill this boy! Originally, I didn��t want to utilize the Bloodcloud Grand Array, but looking at it now, there��s no choice but to do so!��


    �� . .


    Swoosh!


    Several tens of thousands of people appeared at the Extreme Medicine Sect��s mountain pass gates out of nowhere!


    ��Where are we?��


    ��This �� This is the Extreme Medicine Sect? We �� We��re back in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?��


    ��My God! Is my eyesight failing? We passed through four worlds in one go and returned to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?��


    ��How amazing! Progenitor Mi Tian is actually already strong to such an extent, creating such a terrifying technique!��


    �� . .


    In an instant, the Extreme Medicine Sect fell into shock.


    This kind of experience was really too miraculous.


    Just a while ago, they even thought that they had fallen into a deathtrap and were dead for sure.


    But in a blink of an eye, they crossed four worlds and returned home!


    Such terrifying spatial means, it was simply unheard of.


    ��Hur hur, you all are wrong! The one who created this move is Ye Yuan, and not this old man! The crux of this move also lies with Ye Yuan and not this old man! Without him constructing the spatial passageway in the boundary wall, this move can��t be executed!�� Mi Tian smiled as he explained.


    ��What?! It��s actually Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye is really getting more and more monstrous!��


    ��Thinking about that Yi Xue, his expression must be very ugly now, right? Oh, right, also that Bloodooze. He must want to vomit blood now! Hahaha ����


    �� . .


    After the shock, everyone was extremely overjoyed!


    From death to life, this kind of feeling felt very amazing.


    ��Ye Yuan, if you had such means, why didn��t you say so earlier? Your Father almost rushed up just now to fight it out with that Yi Xue!�� Yang Qing smashed a fist onto Ye Yuan��s chest, very unhappy.


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��If I said it out, is it still called a trump card? However, the blood race��s strength somewhat exceeded my imagination! We can��t lower our guard. From now on, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will be on the highest level of alert to prevent the blood race��s sudden raid!��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��That Yi Xue��s strength isn��t beneath mine! They all have witnessed the Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation. They will probably be even more apprehensive of you! Furthermore, we��re currently a thorn in the blood race��s side. They will definitely exhaust every method to destroy us!��

 Chapter 3087 - Bloodcloud Grand Array!

    Under the tree, the moonlight shadow was hazy.


    Yue Mengli saw Ye Yuan in a daze, and her heart could not help aching a little.


    This man was shouldering too many things.


    But, she could not be of any help.


    After Ye Yuan returned to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, he fetched Yue Mengli over.


    With the Extreme Medicine Sect��s powerful foundation as support, plus the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, Yue Mengli, Lu-er, White Light, and the others, also stepped into the realm of Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    It was just that in this war, their strength was too feeble.


    This was the war of Hegemon Realms!


    Having helped each other in humble circumstances for so many years, how could Yue Mengli not know what Ye Yuan was thinking?


    ��Big Brother Yuan, Big Sister Lingxue is blessed. She��ll definitely be fine.�� Yue Mengli said softly.


    Ye Yuan was stupefied and said with a sigh, ��I hope so! When she left, she was too weak. Under the blood race calamity, she ����


    Ye Yuan did not quite dare to continue imagining.


    In this catastrophe that swept across all the heavens, ordinary Sovereign Realm powerhouses could only be cannon fodders too.


    Only by reaching Emperor Realm could one barely manage to have the capital to protect themselves.


    But, it was also merely just self-protection.


    Yue Mengli sighed and said, ��Sigh, Big Sister Lingxue��s life is really rough. I hope that she��s fine.��


    Ye Yuan��s gaze fixed on Yue Mengli��s face.


    That flawless face was suffocatingly exquisite under the moonlight.


    Being stared at by Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli��s pretty face turned slightly red, and she pouted and said embarrassedly, ��Big Brother Yuan, why are you looking at me like this?��


    Saying that she was bashful, but actually, it was more of agitation.


    It was because Ye Yuan��s eyes were full of love.


    With many years of setbacks, the pressure on Ye Yuan��s shoulders was too great!


    Therefore, he had never revealed such a look in his eyes either.


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and said, ��Li-er, these few years, luckily there was you! I owe you too much!��


    Yue Mengli shook her head and said, ��Li-er��s strength is getting weaker and weaker, and I already can��t help Big Brother Yuan anymore! So many years, it has been the hardest on you.��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You know that I��m shouldering too much debt on me, but without your silent support at the back, I couldn��t have made it at all. I��m shouldering too much, aren��t you the same?��


    This woman was too sensible, sensible until Ye Yuan sometimes even forgot about her existence.


    Walking all the way until today, he was paying his debts, repaying Mu Lingxue��s debt.


    But, the more he repaid, the more he owed his woman too.


    ��Li-er, after this battle, I��ll marry you!�� Ye Yuan suddenly said.


    Yue Mengli��s delicate body trembled heavily, lifting her head and looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.


    These words were domineering and brooked no questioning!


    But it sounded pleasant to the extreme!


    She had been waiting far too long for this sentence!


    When Ye Yuan said it, she felt like she was dreaming.


    Yue Mengli��s entire person was petrified there. The blissfulness on her face could not be concealed by any means.


    ��Status and riches are like drifting clouds to me, but my woman is going to become the happiest woman in this world! After this battle, I��ll announce to the world and marry you in full glory! I want to let everyone know that you are my, Ye Yuan��s, woman!�� Ye Yuan said with decisiveness that could chop iron without the slightest hesitation.


    The current Yue Mengli was already melted by happiness.


    She knew that Ye Yuan was a low-profile person.


    But for her sake, he was going to shock all the heavens!


    She knew that this was Ye Yuan��s doting on her as his repayment to her.


    Reaching Emperor Realm, love had already become a stranglehold.


    To the vast majority of Dao companions, feelings had already become extremely faint.


    But Ye Yuan acted in a diametrically opposite way. He was going to let everyone know about the wedding!


    She did not say anything else and just nodded her head lightly.


    At this time, silence won sound!


    Not far away, a series of rustling sounds suddenly emitted, and it quickly returned to tranquility.


    Yue Mengli looked at Ye Yuan and said, ��Big Brother Yuan, is it �� okay for you to be like this?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Then I��ll call them back and take them all in together?��


    Yue Mengli��s expression changed, and she said with jealousy, ��No way!��


    Ye Yuan smiled again and said, ��Then isn��t it settled? It��s better to deal with painful things quickly. Let them stop thinking about it. It��s better than keeping it in their thoughts.��


    Yue Mengli just sighed lightly when she heard that.


    Only she knew that it was probably very difficult!


    This man in front of her was too outstanding!


    Once he entered someone��s heart, it would be very hard to chase away.


    But in her heart, Yue Mengli was blissful to the extreme.


    Regardless whether it was Feng Qingxuan or Cloudneon, they were all one of the 33 Heavens�� most outstanding women!


    The current her was unable to compete with them at all.


    But Ye Yuan��s heart never wavered from start to end.


    For her sake, he even did it so decisively.


    How could she not be moved?


    The wind stirred lightly, and a little red light exploded in front of Ye Yuan��s chest, instantly enveloping this mountainside!


    There was only a stretch of red color left in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan��s expression changed drastically, spatial origin pouring out, about to teleport away.


    But it failed!


    Ye Yuan felt that the surrounding blood power of rule had completely disrupted all of the rules. He was actually unable to teleport!


    His spatial shift divine ability was actually unable to work!


    Ye Yuan��s expression was solemn. He quickly understood that this was the Chaos Bloodstone��s purest origin of blood!


    The origin of blood had the power of corrosion to begin with. How powerful was the Chaos Bloodstone��s power of corrosion?


    At least, it was not what the current him could resolve!


    The pores on Ye Yuan��s body opened up. He knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived.


    ��Stop wasting your energy! Once the Bloodcloud Grand Array is activated, forget about you; even if it��s a Great Beyond powerhouse, they will be trapped to death too!�� A man walked out of the blood fog, holding a blood saber in his hand, a scar on his face.


    This was actually a Hegemon Realm expert!


    ��I didn��t expect that to kill an Emperor Sakra Heaven we actually had to activate the Bloodcloud Grand Array! Kid, you can be sufficiently proud!�� Someone else walked out of the blood fog. It was another Hegemon Realm expert!


    ��Ye Yuan, don��t count on someone coming to save you! The Bloodcloud Grand Array is condensed by exhausting all of the Blood Ward Bead��s blood energy. This place forms its own world. Unless the blood energy is depleted, you can forget about escaping!��


    The third hegemon realm powerhouse!


    The blood race actually sent three Hegemon Realms to deal with him!


    What a grand display!


    �� . .


    Boom!


    Mi Tian slammed a fist on the blood cloud, but the blood cloud did not budge an inch!


    Straight away when he discovered the anomaly, he already arrived.


    But he discovered that this blood cloud that enveloped the mountain was sturdy to the extreme!


    With his strength, he was actually unable to shake it in the slightest!


    His expression was solemn to the extreme!


    ��Mi Zhen, Long Jian, the six of us join forces and attack. Break this blood cloud!�� Mi Tian said in a solemn voice.


    The six people were just about to attack when several figures suddenly appeared above the sky.


    The arrival was precisely Yi Xue.


    ��Stop wasting your strength. The Bloodcloud Grand Array is transformed from the Blood Ward Bead. It��s condensed from the purest blood energy in this world! Once activated, no one can shake it within seven days! Get ready to attend Ye Yuan��s funeral!�� Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and said coolly.


    Mi Tian��s expression changed slightly, but he did not believe it, bringing the six people and rushing towards the blood cloud again.


    Boom!


    The entire Extreme Medicine Sect started trembling.


    However, that region of blood could still not budge an inch!


    Mi Tian��s heart sank to rock-bottom!


    Yi Xue smiled and said, ��Ye Yuan is really a remarkable brat. However, it ends here too! Today, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will be destroyed!��

 Chapter 3088 - Battling Hegemon!

    In the Bloodcloud Grand Array, Chi Shang, You Lei, Meng Jin, three great Hegemons, were currently looking at Ye Yuan with a look of amusement.


    In their view, Ye Yuan was already a turtle in the jar.


    These three people were top existences among ordinary Hegemons too.


    Coming to deal with an Emperor Sakra Heaven was really putting fine timber to petty use.


    Emperor Sakra Heaven and Hegemon were lifeforms on two different levels.


    No one had ever been able to cross this kind of level, jumping realms to battle!


    Seeing these three great powerhouses, Yue Mengli��s complexion turned pale.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan had already recovered his cool.


    It was only to see a small sword appear between his brows, arriving in his hand.


    ��Li-er, you hide in the Dao sword��s space.��


    Although Ye Yuan��s inner-world had collapsed, opening up a space in the Dao sword to let Yue Mengli lie low until the storm blew over was not hard.


    Yue Mengli��s face revealed a look of struggle, and she shook her head and said, ��Big Brother Yuan, if you want to fight them, I��ll die together with you!��


    Ye Yuan lightly caressed Yue Mengli��s face and said with a smile, ��Why would your Big Brother Yuan die? I said that I��m going to marry you. I won��t go back on my words! It��s merely three ordinary Hegemons. It��s no big deal!��


    The moment the three great Hegemons heard, they immediately burst out laughing.


    ��Hahaha, what high-sounding sentiments! Ye Yuan brat, you��re indeed as rumored. A braggart! Want to use this to bluff this girlie, don��t you think that it��s too stupid?�� Chi Shang said with a loud laugh.


    ��In the past, it��s that Progenitor felt that your strength was meager, and he couldn��t be bothered with you. This time, since we��re making a move, do you think that you can still live? Three ordinary Hegemons? Hur hur, today, we��ll let you know what��s called a Hegemon!�� You Lei said with a snicker.


    With this, Yue Mengli became even more worried.


    Hegemon Realms were no joke!


    If it was Emperor Sakra Heaven, even if ten origin powerhouses came, Yue Mengli would not even be worried.


    But, against Hegemon Realm, even if it was the weakest Hegemon Realm, it was also not what the current Ye Yuan could resist!


    Ye Yuan gave her a consoling look and said with a smile, ��Relax. When have I lied to you before? Since they dared to come, I��ll make sure that they can��t go back!��


    Ye Yuan��s composure made Yue Mengli calm down.


    Now that it came to this, they could not escape even if they ran away too. They could only conquer or die.


    Saying whatever sharing life and death together, that was a joke.


    Her staying here would only distract ye yuan. It was better to hide and let Ye Yuan fight with all his strength.


    Finished saying that, she nodded slightly and entered the Dao sword��s space.


    In this Bloodcloud Grand Array, there was nowhere that was safer than the Dao sword space.


    Unless Ye Yuan died, otherwise, no one could harm Yue Mengli.


    The three great Hegemons did not have the intention of stopping either, Ye Yuan��s action was completely meaningless to them.


    In reality, they could kill Ye Yuan in one exchange.


    Chi Shang smiled lightly and said, ��Alright, the boasting is already done. We can send you off already!��


    He was just about to attack, but Meng Jin stopped him and said, ��Don��t. Either way, we have to be trapped here for seven days. How boring is it to kill him in one move? I��ll go play with him and get some fun out of it.��


    Chi Shang was taken aback and said with a smile, ��Go on.��


    Meng Jin looked at Ye Yuan, and his figure suddenly swayed, disappearing.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was solemn, immediately feeling danger coming from all directions. He was unable to discern at all!


    His gaze was actually unable to capture the other party��s traces.


    This was his first time confronting a Hegemon Realm head-on!


    He also finally felt the power of a Hegemon Realm!


    Meanwhile, Chi Shang and You Lei, two people, were taking things easy, having the appearance of watching a show.


    Suddenly, all the hair on Ye Yuan��s body stood on end. A strong sense of crisis came from behind.


    Without the slightest hesitation, all the chaos divine essence in Ye Yuan��s body poured out, turning around to block.


    ��Hur hur, your reaction is pretty good, but it��s already too late!��


    Beside his ears came Meng Jin��s snicker.


    Ye Yuan turned around but discovered that Meng Jin��s face was virtually stuck to his own face already.


    It was only to see him bend his finger and lightly flick. Everything seemed so casual.


    Bang!


    A powerful force instantly flooded into Ye Yuan��s body.


    Ye Yuan��s body flew out like a cannonball, the trajectory virtually unable to see clearly!


    With just one hit, Ye Yuan��s chest directly caved in.


    The power of a finger flick was utterly formidable!


    But, Ye Yuan��s figure had yet to stop when Meng Jin��s voice appeared beside his ear again.


    ��Do you think that it��s over like this?��


    Ye Yuan��s entire body tensed up, chaos divine essence pouring out again, forcibly changing the trajectory of his flight.


    But that feeling of danger followed him like a shadow!


    Ye Yuan urged his movement technique to the extreme, changing paths several times in the air.


    However, he could not shake Meng Jin off at all!


    By the side, Chi Shang smiled and said, ��Meng Jin is playing the cat catching a mouse.��


    You Lei also smiled and said, ��Before coming, Lord Yi Xue was talking about how supernatural this boy was. I even thought that he could garner some interest in me. Looking at it now, it��s also nothing more than this!��


    Chi Shang shook his head and said, ��You can��t say it like that! Just looking at things from now, Ye Yuan��s strength is indeed terrifying! Even if it��s an ordinary origin powerhouse, it would be hard to do anything to him too! Furthermore, here is the Bloodcloud Grand Array. All of the rules are set by Progenitor Bloodstone! His spatial origin is being restrained to the greatest degree here. Otherwise, it would really not be so easy to kill him!��


    You Lei��s mouth curled, and he said disdainfully, ��So what? In this Bloodcloud Grand Array, he can only be a little mouse and serve as some amusement for us.��


    Chi Shang said, ��That might be the case, but this chaos divine essence is indeed powerful too. He received several moves from Meng Jin and actually didn��t even die! If it was an ordinary origin powerhouse, they would have died several times over too!��


    You Lei smiled and said, ��Only then will this be a bit interesting. Otherwise, wouldn��t we be very bored in these seven days?��


    The two people exchanged looks and smiled.


    This kind of battle also made their vigilance from before evaporated into thin air.


    Meng Jin had not even used 10% of his power, and Ye Yuan was already utterly defeated until he did not have an unscathed spot on his body.


    No matter how monstrous he was, it was impossible to reverse it too.


    Therefore, they could have some fun during these seven days.


    Meng Jin and Ye Yuan��s battle was completely one-sided.


    This was a game of a cat catching a mouse. Meng Jin was not in a hurry to kill Ye Yuan at all.


    Even if he did not make a move, Ye Yuan had to strive with all his might too.


    ��Hur hur, is this the genius who stirred up all the heavens? Too disappointing! I only used one finger; you can��t even beat my one finger?�� Meng Jin��s mocking voice came from inside the blood cloud.


    Currently, Ye Yuan was covered in blood all over, panting heavily for air, tired from the constant running. How could he have the energy to care about his mocking?


    Suddenly, Chi Shang��s brows furrowed slightly, and he said, ��Do you feel that Ye Yuan��s speed seems to be a little faster?��


    You Lei was slightly taken aback and immediately laughed and said, ��Chi Shang, have you been scared silly by Lord Yi Xue? Is there a need to be rambling like this? This boy is merely a lower Emperor Sakra Heaven. That��s all! He��s fast? How fast can he be?! Either way, I don��t feel anything at all.��


    Chi Shang nodded slightly and said, ��Maybe I was overly sensitive. Looking closely, it seems like it��s really not.��


    �� . .


    Outside of the Bloodcloud Grand Array, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s battle situation was very bad too.


    Half a day had passed. The Extreme Medicine Sect suffered heavy casualties!


    This time, when Yi Xue came, he brought several times more force than previously.


    Just the Great Beyond powerhouses were as many as ten people!


    ��Hur hur, being distracted like this, you��re not my match! You don��t need to think too much. Chi Shang the three of them are all top experts among ordinary Hegemons! Ye Yuan doesn��t stand a chance at all!�� Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and said with a light smile.

 Chapter 3089 - Bloody Battle!

    Above the sky, two enormous dragons were crossing swords back and forth, fighting until the void shattered.


    Yi Xue transformed into a blood dragon and actually completely suppressed the powerful Mi Tian.


    ��No one thought that a measly little Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually became the toughest bone to bite down! However, it ends here too!�� From above the sky came Yi Xue��s voice.


    ��If you want to swallow Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, you all will have to break a few teeth too! Unparalleled, kill!��


    ��Hur hur, the means of Hegemon Space is indeed formidable! It��s just that I don��t know how long Ye Yuan can last inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array!��


    Mi Tian��s expression turned dark, and his moves actually had an additional trace of flaw.


    Wanting to talk about Mi Tian��s means, it was actually a notch stronger than Yi Xue.


    Reaching their realm, it was hard to determine the victor to begin with.


    But he had been constantly worried about Ye Yuan��s safety and was unable to focus at all.


    The more he wanted to finish off Yi Xue quickly, the more he was being suppressed.


    Yi Xue was also making use of precisely Mi Tian��s psych and gradually took the upper hand.


    ��For my Extreme Medicine Sect, fight to the end without retreating!��


    ��Blood dogs, Your Father will fight it out with you all!��


    ��Hahaha, a bunch of dog-like things, too weak!��


    An Extreme Medicine Sect disciple killed three bloodkins consecutively, sustaining severe wounds, letting out a wild laugh.


    However, several other bloodkins already charged over like the fierce wind.


    Bang!


    With several bloodkins attacking in unison, the Extreme Medicine Sect disciple who was laughing loudly before lost his life.


    Miserable cries lingered incessantly in the Extreme Medicine Sect.


    This battle was too miserable!


    Facing enemies that numbered several times than theirs, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s elites fought to the death without retreating.


    These people were all the genius martial artists that Mi Tian and Ye Yuan groomed. Their strengths were not ordinary.


    But there were too many bloodkins!


    They could not be killed entirely!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army was founded with the Extreme Medicine Sect as the base, plus the elites of various races.


    But now, they were virtually fighting it out with the blood race using their lives!


    The price was extremely heavy!


    Feng Xiaotian alone was facing off against four great Peak Hegemons and was extremely strained, even though he had already broken through to Peak Hegemon now as well.


    One of them was precisely his old adversary of back then, Bloodpromise!


    ��Blood Extreme Firmament!��


    ��Fierce Gale Great Melancholy Hand!��


    Above the sky, Feng Xiaotian and Bloodpromise exchanged blows.


    Bloodpromise��s entire body trembled heavily, and he was directly blasted flying!


    Feng Xiaotian raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly as he said, ��Bloodpromise, I haven��t seen you for many years, but you��re still same old good-for-nothing! If you didn��t rely on numbers, Your Father would kill you now!��


    Bloodpromise was covered all over in blood, and he yelled angrily, ��Feng Xiaotian, don��t you be smug! Today will be the day you die!��


    Feng Xiaotian did not care and said with a loud laugh, ��Bring it on! Want to kill me, you all will have to pay the price too!��


    Finished saying, the other three people already rushed in, besieging Feng Xiaotian.


    Feng Xiaotian had an awe-inspiring fighting intent and was not the least bit afraid!


    ��Fight! Fight! Fight! Brothers, this place is the hot soil that we protect! Don��t let it be tainted by these blood dogs! We��ll kill them together until not even a fragment of armor remains!��


    Feng Xiaotian gave a long howl and clashed together with the four people.


    His fight was naturally not as easy as it looked on the surface.


    In reality, he was already seriously wounded now.


    It was just that he had been constantly aiming Bloodpromise and bombarding him indiscriminately, completely ignoring the others. Bloodpromise was under great pressure too.


    Being beaten down by Feng Xiaotian, Bloodpromise naturally had a stomach full of anger too.


    Sure enough, he found an opening, and a Blood Extreme Firmament hit Feng Xiaotian.


    Feng Xiaotian felt his scalp tingle. Knowing that he could not avoid it in time anymore, he actually advanced instead of retreating, colliding together with a blood race Hegemon that was coming head-on.


    ��Wind Thunder Change! Die for me!��


    At the critical moment, Feng Xiaotian sent out a move.


    His opponent clearly did not expect that Feng Xiaotian was actually so dauntless in the face of death.


    Boom!


    That blood race Peak Hegemon was actually annihilated by Feng Xiaotian in one move and died thoroughly!


    But half of Feng Xiaotian��s body was directly blown away too.


    Fresh blood dripped down the corners of his clothes, looking incomparably tragic.


    Dyed all over in blood, Feng Xiaotian still laughed loudly and said, ��Bloodpromise, you guys are really trash! Four-on-one and you actually still had one killed by me!��


    Bloodpromise��s expression was very ugly. Although his move succeeded, he did not expect that they actually lost a Peak Hegemon.


    This bunch of Extreme Medicine Sect people, they were all lunatics!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses�� fighting intents were too strong!


    Especially Feng Xiaotian, after experiencing the baptism of South Qi Giant City, his willpower was resolute until it scared people.


    This injury, if it happened to others, it would have long been a matter of life and death. But Feng Xiaotian did not even furrow his brows!


    His fighting intent was still surging!


    ��Humph! So what! Feng Xiaotian, this seat will send you on your way now! Your blood will turn into a part of my blood race. You should feel supreme glory!��


    �� . .


    Boom!


    Suffering another blow, Ye Yuan��s two eyes went dark, and he was virtually passing out.


    Meng Jin was still only using 10% of his strength, but he was already a spent force.


    ��Hur hur, the genius whose reputation shocked all the heavens is nothing more than this too! Kid, you��re too weak!�� Meng Jin said with a chuckle.


    A punk that even Progenitor had to suffer a loss at the hands of, he was being toyed in the palm of his hand. This kind of feeling was very wonderful.


    Ye Yuan was panting heavily but forced a smile and said, ��Hur hur, are you very pleased with yourself right now? Very soon, you��ll regret not killing me right away!��


    Meng Jin was indifferent and said with a loud laugh, ��On your deathbed, you still dare to threaten this seat? Kid, this seat has only used 10% of my strength up till now! Come, bring forth your strength and make me regret it!��


    ��Meng Jin, stop playing. Send him on his way!�� Chi Shang said.


    Meng Jin chuckled and said, ��Okay, I��ll send him on his way! This lad is too weak. It��s boring!��


    After toying with Ye Yuan for half a day, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest strength to fight back. Meng Jin also found it a little boring already.


    Finished saying, he pointed a finger, aiming straight at Ye Yuan.


    This finger was more than a magnitude stronger than before!


    Ye Yuan only felt that this finger was going to pierce through the firmament, even though he still had not exerted all of his strength!


    But right then, Ye Yuan��s body suddenly erupted with seven streams of flowing light!


    These seven streams of flowing light were all different colors, akin to a rainbow.


    After the flowing light flew out, it actually formed an array formation!


    Boom!


    The seven streams of flowing light quivered strongly. It was as if it was going to crumble under this finger.


    Ye Yuan��s figure also explosively retreated several hundred steps along with the seven streams of flowing light.


    But the seven streams of flowing light still stabilized in the end.


    Ye Yuan actually received this finger.


    Meng Jin��s expression turned dark, immediately feeling a loss of face.


    The power of this finger was several times that of before. But it was actually received by Ye Yuan.


    The seven streaks of flowing light dispersed and slowly revolved around Ye Yuan.


    Focusing one��s eyes to look, it was actually seven small mountains!


    Myriad Realms Mountain!


    Ye Yuan was indeed pretty lucky in the Labyrinth Divine Palace. He found all seven of the Myriad Realms Mountains in the end.


    Ye Yuan made use of the Eternal River��s chaos and completely re-sanctified the seven Myriad Realms Mountains.


    The present Myriad Realms Mountain, its power was even stronger than back then in Hegemon Chaos�� hands!


    Ye Yuan looked at Meng Jin and said with a sneer, ��What rubbish Hegemon! Nothing more than this!��


    Meng Jin��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��Chaos heavenly treasure! I didn��t expect that this boy actually still had such a trump card! However, this thing is a wanton waste of God��s good gifts in your hands! Since you��re giving this seat a treasure, this seat will accept it!��

 Chapter 3090 - Messing With You!

    Seven small mountains suspended around Ye Yuan. The aura that they emitted actually made people feel somewhat daunted. Clearly, they were not ordinary objects.


    It was just that Ye Yuan��s strength was too weak. He was unable to unleash the true power of a chaos heavenly treasure at all.


    Otherwise, killing them would be as easy as turning over his hand!


    Such a treasure, it was hard for them to avoid feeling moved when they saw it.


    ��The treasure is right here. You can come and take it if you have the ability!�� Ye Yuan ridiculed them lightly.


    Although he was seriously wounded, his aura was not the least bit weak.


    Meng Jin said disdainfully, ��If this seat wants to kill you, wouldn��t it be effortless? Hang on. This seat will be retrieving the treasure right now!��


    While talking, Meng Jin already disappeared.


    How fast was the speed of a Hegemon Realm?


    Virtually surpassing the time to think, he already arrived in front of Ye Yuan.


    Bloodfiend Heart Devouring Palm!


    A palm was already imprinted on Ye Yuan��s chest.


    The corners of Meng Jin��s mouth revealed a hint of a cruel smile.


    Clearly, Ye Yuan already had nowhere to evade it!


    ��Be careful!�� Right at this time, Chi Shang suddenly warned, his words carrying intense shock.


    Meng Jin��s expression changed drastically, feeling his scalp tingling, and he flew away from where he was without hesitation.


    Boom!


    An enormous mountain slammed where he was standing!


    Meng Jin��s heart shook wildly, thinking to himself, when did this boy��s speed become so fast?


    What he hit just now was actually Ye Yuan��s afterimage!


    What did this show?


    Ye Yuan��s speed was much faster than his!


    How was this possible?


    Just now, Ye Yuan clearly could not even see his back view.


    Ye Yuan surpassed him in a blink of an eye?


    This kind of change was a little too fantastical, right?


    Ye Yuan stood far away in the sky and mocked, ��Weren��t you coming to retrieve the treasure? Why did you slip away so quickly?��


    Meng Jin��s expression turned dark, and he said, ��Kid, you hid your strength?��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I was merely messing with you previously. Seven days, it can��t be too boring as well, no? Now, does it feel very ironic? You actually can��t keep up with my, this Emperor Sakra Heaven��s, speed?��


    The moment Ye Yuan said this, Meng Jin was even more certain that Ye Yuan hid his strength and could not help feeling extremely depressed in his heart.


    He thought that he was toying with Ye Yuan. After messing around for half a day, he was the one who was being toyed with!


    Furthermore, he was a Hegemon Realm!


    When Chi Shang saw that Meng Jin was like this, he wished to kill him with a palm.


    He snorted coldly and said, ��Idiot! You believe whatever this kid says? He clearly had some comprehension just now. That��s why his speed would increase greatly!��


    Chi Shang was really somewhat regretting it!


    He still underestimated this boy. How could a brat that could make even Progenitor apprehensive possibly be simple?


    It was just that he did not expect that Ye Yuan��s comprehension ability was also too monstrous. Just now, under the situation of life and death hanging by a thread, he could actually comprehend such an incredible speed!


    Also, Meng Jin, this moron, actually really thought that Ye Yuan concealed his strength.


    What a joke!


    Meng Jin was stupefied, only then coming around to his senses, and he could not help becoming even angrier from embarrassment.


    It turned out that he was completely treated as an idiot!


    Furthermore, he was really stupid!


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��I said it before. You guys will regret it! Didn��t your Progenitor Bloodstone tell you guys that I have the origin of blood too? Furthermore, it��s the purest origin of blood! Although this Bloodcloud Grand Array is a domain of blood, I��m unable to crack it for the time being. But, it doesn��t hinder me from fusing the origin of blood and spatial origin together!��


    The three people��s expressions changed wildly!


    They really did not know about this!


    How could the Chaos Bloodstone possibly tell his subordinates this sort of humiliating thing?


    Inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array, there was the blood origin of Progenitor Bloodstone��s main body. It was unbelievably powerful. Even a Great Beyond Realm would find it hard to breach it too.


    But this origin of blood was of the same root as Ye Yuan.


    This Bloodcloud Grand Array, putting it bluntly, was actually a space.


    Although this space was extremely profound, it was difficult for Ye Yuan to comprehend it in a short while too.


    But, with Ye Yuan��s comprehension in spatial origin, fusing the origin of blood and spatial origin together a little was not something too hard.


    There was no need to do much. As long as he could use spatial divine abilities inside this Bloodcloud Grand Array, it would suffice!


    He only needed a bit of time, and it would be enough.


    Originally, with three people joining forces to kill him, he would really have a slim chance of surviving.


    But now, he had the strength to fight!


    Ye Yuan casually swallowed a heavenly pill. His injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Chi Shang��s expression changed again, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Stop playing, attack together and kill him! His speed is very fast. I��ll tie him down, and you guys wait for an opportunity to make a move. Don��t give him any chance! This time, we mustn��t fail again!��


    You Lei and Meng Jin, two people, nodded at the same time. They did not dare to underestimate Ye Yuan anymore as well.


    Swoosh!


    Chi Shang took a step and directly disappeared. His speed was actually significantly faster than Meng Jin!


    Ye Yuan did not dare to slight him and similarly took a step, disappearing.


    The two people exhibited incredible speed inside this Bloodcloud Grand Array!


    You Lei and Meng Jin, two people, actually could not quite keep up.


    Ye Yuan also did not expect that Chi Shang��s speed was actually so fast. He was actually being tied down by him for some time.


    Chi Shang was shocked in his heart. Ye Yuan��s speed was too fast!


    He did not dare to be the slightest bit neglectful, raising his speed to the extreme. He continuously used powerful attacks to cut off Ye Yuan��s path, curbing Ye Yuan��s speed.


    While You Lei and Meng Jin, two people, attempted to form an encirclement around Ye Yuan.


    But the two of them were too slow. They were always slow by one move.


    Each time, when the encirclement momentum was about to form, Ye Yuan would be like a fish that escaped the net, slipping out with a whoosh.


    Meng Jin yelled out angrily, ��Little thief, when this seat catches you, I��ll definitely tear your corpse to shreds!��


    Chi Shang also said gloomily, ��Continuing like this isn��t the way to go. This boy is too cunning!��


    Ye Yuan��s speed was too fast, his attacks could not lock onto Ye Yuan at all, and he could only use large-area attacks to cut him off.


    This process was actually the process of fighting a battle of wits and a contest of strength.


    His cutting off act was very purposeful. The goal was naturally to form an encirclement momentum, making Ye Yuan have nowhere to escape.


    Each time, Ye Yuan seemed to be simply flying away like a headless fly.


    But in the end, he could always make his get-away.


    In Chi Shang��s heart, he could not help feeling stifled from anger.


    ��Chi Shang, your attacks are too stupid! Do you really think that I��m a fish in a net, allowing you to do whatever you want?�� Ye Yuan��s mocking came from the void.


    Chi Shang was furious and said in a solemn voice, ��Humph! Kid, just you run! Even if you can flee for seven days inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array, so what? Seven days later, your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will already be our blood race��s territory! At that time, there will be a large group of Great Beyond powerhouses waiting for you outside! I want to see whether or not you can escape out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Ye Yuan was shocked in his heart, but he maintained his composure and said, ��Hur hur, want to goad me? You��re too naive!��


    Chi Shang smiled and said, ��Lord Yi Xue brought nine mighty Great Beyond powerhouses and over 400 Hegemon Realm powerhouses and descended upon Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven! Do you think that they still have hope of survival? Go on and flee. Your loved ones and friends are probably already pretty much dead! The moment seven days are up, you can be reunited with them!��


    Ye Yuan��s heart sank to the bottom.


    This was likely not fake!


    Although this Bloodcloud Grand Array was powerful, with Mi Tian��s strength, he could most likely crack it. It just needed some time.


    If it was really like this, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s situation was not good!

 Chapter 3091 - Bitter Fight!

    In the blood cloud, Ye Yuan��s figure suddenly paused, stopping.


    Chi Shang three people stopped too, looking at Ye Yuan calmly, revealing smug smiles.


    This boy was indeed as rumored!


    ��What? Going to risk your life?�� Chi Shang said with a smile.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was grim, and he said, ��If you all want to fight, let��s fight then!��


    Meng Jin laughed loudly and said, ��An Emperor Sakra Heaven is going to put up a desperate fight with us. I��m so scared! Hahaha ����


    You Lei also smiled and said, ��A puny little Emperor Sakra Heaven, do you really take yourself to be the savior? Just the Hegemon Realms outside are as many as several hundred people. What can you change if you go? Under our blood race��s iron hooves, everything will be destroyed!��


    The current Chi Shang was not in a hurry and said with a smile, ��Lord Yi Xue really foretells things with divine accuracy! These words were taught to me by Lord Yi Xue. He said that after saying them, you��ll definitely fight! It��s indeed the case!��


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��What else did he say?��


    Chi Shang said, ��He even repeatedly urged us not to underestimate the enemy and to dispose of you straight away. But �� we still underestimated the enemy. It��s just that looking at it now, this step was likely within Lord Yi Xue��s expectations too!��


    Talking up to here, he was a little embarrassed.


    Reality proved that Lord Yi Xue��s knowledge was far from what he could compare to!


    But it also proved Lord Yi Xue��s horror even more.


    A Hegemon against an Emperor Sakra Heaven was like an immortal against a mortal. They could not muster up a trace of interest at all.


    Killing them was just a matter of huffing a breath of air.


    No matter how monstrous this person was in other people��s words.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he was shocked in his heart too.


    This Yi Xue was extraordinary!


    The strong were revered in this world. Martial strength could represent everything.


    All schemes and intrigues were utterly not worth mentioning in front of powerful martial strength.


    But this did not mean that intelligence was useless!


    Those who work with their brains ruled, and those who work with their brawn were ruled.


    Only by having powerful martial strength combined with a powerful mind could one truly become a powerhouse of a region, ruling an area.


    With empty martial strength, one was just an ignorant person. Even if it was a Hegemon Realm, it was also not impossible to be toyed with by people.


    Just like the Meng Jin earlier, he was toyed by Ye Yuan until he was confused and disoriented. He even thought that Ye Yuan was amazing.


    This way, since this person attacked Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, he was probably already fully prepared.


    Him being trapped inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array was just a part of the plan!


    This Yi Xue was not simple. What he was scheming was huge!


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not hold back anymore. He was about to charge out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array.


    After seven days, it would really have nothing to do with him anymore.


    Even if he went out, it would be a road that led to death too!


    Ye Yuan nodded and said, ��Since that��s the case, I��ll decide again after killing you guys!��


    Chi Shang could not help laughing and said, ��Kid, you��re merely a little fast. Do you really think that you can pick a fight with Hegemon Realms? Moreover, there are three of us!��


    Ye Yuan was indifferent and said, ��It��s indeed a little troublesome to kill you guys now. So, I planned on becoming a little stronger before taking action. But now, I changed my mind.��


    Chi Shang shook his head and laughed in spite of himself. The origin in his body poured out, and he said coolly, ��Is that so? Then try receiving a sword from me!��


    There was an additional blood sword in Chi Shang��s hand. It emitted incomparably thick blood and evil energy.


    This sword had drunk God knew how many people��s blood.


    This was a grade five grandmist treasure. The moment it attacked, the power was formidable!


    But Meng Jin and You Lei did not have the intention of taking action.


    You lei smiled and said, ��Chi Shang this guy got serious. This kid still doesn��t know how strong Chi Shang is!��


    Meng Jin nodded and said, ��Chi Shang is the number one person under Peak Hegemon in the blood race! If he gets serious, the likes of us will have to turn tail and run too, let alone a mere Emperor Sakra Heaven.��


    You lei said, ��Against Blood Drawing Sword Technique 18 moves, I wonder how many moves can this boy receive?��


    ��How many moves? Hur hur, are you insulting Chi Shang?�� Meng Jin immediately disapproved of it.


    Clearly, these three people were led by Chi Shang.


    His strength was also the strongest among the three people.


    Chi Shang pointed his long sword. Ye Yuan only felt a bloody scent hitting him head-on, virtually knocking him out.


    ��Ye Yuan, my Blood Drawing 10 moves, each move is stronger than the last! When 18 moves are executed, I dare to contend with Peak Hegemons! You see how many moves you can receive!�� Chi Shang��s words carried thick mockery.


    He could not stand Ye Yuan looking down on him.


    ��First move, Blood Soul Slash!��


    Chi Shang slashed out with his sword. The blood cloud was actually directly split in half by him, like cleaving a wave.


    You Lei two people had cold smiles hanging on their faces. It was as if already seeing the sight of Ye Yuan being split into two.


    But at this time, four astonishing bloodline powers poured out of Ye Yuan��s body. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, these four phantoms, appeared in east, west, south, and north directions.


    At this time, the four great true spirit bloodlines in Ye Yuan��s body actually all reached peak heaven qian grade already!


    The current power was no idea how much stronger than when he was at Heavenly Dragon Island!


    The four symbols resonated!


    Traces of saint force poured into the Myriad Realms Mountains!


    The seven Myriad Realms Mountains merged into one!


    Immediately, the seven Myriad Realms Mountains shone with boundless radiance and gave off an incomparable power!


    The seven Myriad Realms Mountains were re-sanctified by Ye Yuan with nine array elements.


    The power of this chaos heavenly treasure coupled with the world��s strongest nine element array formation, the increase in power was not a tiny bit!


    ��Saint force! This �� How is this possible?�� You Lei cried out in surprise, shock all over his face.


    An Emperor Sakra Heaven actually used saint force!


    Under the augmentation of saint force, the power of the Myriad Realms Mountains obtained a huge amplification.


    Chi Shang��s pupils also constricted, but he already slashed his sword out. They naturally had to determine a victor.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, an unparalleled bloody light and a pale light collided together.


    Boom!


    A loud rumble sounded out. Ye Yuan and Chi Shang shot backward.


    Ye Yuan��s entire body shook violently. A trace of fresh blood was already seeping out of the corners of his mouth. Clearly, he was quite injured.


    This Chi Shang was too strong!


    But Chi Shang three people were long already stupefied.


    The opponent was just an Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    He actually blocked the sword move of the blood race��s number one ordinary Hegemon!


    This sort of thing, no one would dare to believe it at all if it spread.


    All beneath Hegemon were ants. This sentence was not just empty words.


    What Hegemon Realm used was the Dao of Origin.


    Emperor Sakra Heaven, even if it was origin powerhouses, they only slightly learned the rudiments too. There was no effusion of the Door of Eternal Life at all.


    Without the increase of power through the Door of Eternal Life origin, it was simply impossible for Emperor Sakra Heavens to be a match for Hegemon Realms.


    But now, Ye Yuan was defying the heavens!


    This guy actually used the saint force that only Great Beyond powerhouses could use. Then he activated a chaos heavenly treasure and battled with a Hegemon Realm!


    Ye Yuan wiped away the blood stain from the corners of his mouth and said with a cold smile, ��Hegemon Realm is nothing more than this too! Come, fight again!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan actually urged the Myriad Realms Mountain and took the initiative to launch an attack against Chi Shang!


    Chi Shang��s expression became very ugly. Raising his sword and advancing again, he cried out angrily, ��Second move, Tide of Jade Blood! Die!��


    This sword actually received the resonance of the Bloodcloud Grand Array.


    Bloodcloud Grand Array��s origin of blood actually had an enhancement effect on Chi Shang��s sword move!


    Boom!


    The void trembled again. The two people separated upon contact.


    Ye Yuan was sent flying again, but he still only sustained injuries.


    Chi Shang��s expression was ugly to the extreme.


    He was already very certain. Ye Yuan indeed had the strength to fight with a Hegemon Realm!


    Saint force was too scary!

 Chapter 3092 - Gaining Enlightenment on Dao With Battle!

    ��There are still 16 moves. Execute them, and I��ll receive them all!�� Ye Yuan looked at Chi Shang and said coolly.


    Chi Shang��s expression turned slightly dark. At this time, he could no longer care about face.


    ��Attack together! This boy is likely trying to gain enlightenment on Dao with battle, can��t let him succeed! Kill him!�� Chi Shang said in a solemn voice.


    You Lei and Meng Jin��s hearts turned cold. How could they still dare to be neglectful?


    Ye Yuan��s monstrousness far exceeded their expectations.


    Everyone said that reputation was not as good as meeting in the flesh. At this time, they finally understood why Progenitor and Lord Yi Xue would regard an Emperor Sakra Heaven so highly.


    In fact, in order to deal with him, they did not scant to consume a Blood Ward Bead!


    One had to know that the Blood Ward Bead was extremely valuable to Progenitor.


    Cultivating the supreme Great Dao with the blood from all the heavens was the function of the Blood Ward Bead.


    Each Blood Ward Bead could only be cultivated with the fresh blood of hundreds of millions of living things.


    When they learned that they had to use the Bloodcloud Grand Array against Ye Yuan, they all felt that it was using a cannon to kill a mosquito; a waste of talent on trivial tasks.


    But only now did they deeply realize that it was not overboard at all!


    ��No wonder Yi Xue would send you here. You��re a clever man! That��s right. I��m indeed thinking of gaining enlightenment on Dao with battle. It will have to depend on whether you kill me first or whether I gain enlightenment on Dao first!�� Ye Yuan said with a smile.


    Right now, it was a little too taxing for Ye Yuan to face off against Chi Shang, let alone to deal with three great Hegemons.


    Therefore, this was a path of no return.


    Either you die or I perish!


    At this time, Chi Shang three people no longer held anything back.


    The three people formed a triangle, surrounding Ye Yuan in the middle.


    The moment they made their move, the commotion was shocking.


    ��Nine Consecutive Kills!��


    ��Heaven Splitting Axe!��


    ��Dark Night Blood Explosion!��


    With Chi Shang three people joining forces, that power was shocking to the extreme.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was solemn, urging saint force to the extreme, pouring it into the Myriad Realms Mountain.


    ��Array formation, Universe!��


    The Myriad Realms Mountain turned into seven small mountains again, forming the Universe array formation, clashing together with the three.


    With each blow, Ye Yuan had to suffer a tremendous impact, his entire person feeling like his frame was being knocked apart.


    The Myriad Realms Mountain separating, it was naturally not as powerful as combining into one.


    But, facing three great Hegemons, he could only do so too.


    Not only were Chi Shang three people powerful, but their attacks were also even enhanced by the origin of blood in the Bloodcloud Grand Array!


    The three people combining powers, the offensive power was too terrifying.


    Ye Yuan was struggling bitterly under these three people��s bombardment.


    Chi Shang was shocked in his heart. Ye Yuan was able to withstand it!


    If it were him, he could not have withstood it long ago.


    ��This boy almost can��t make it anymore. Double up! 15th move, True Sun Blood!��


    It was only to see Chi Shang unleashed a sword, the long sword turning into a blood-colored setting sun as if it was going to swallow everything up.


    This move smashed onto the Universe Array formation brutally.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s mind shook heavily, fresh blood vomiting wildly out of his mouth, his innards virtually shattered.


    Chi Shang��s Blood Drawing Sword Technique had already been executed until the 15th move. The power was despairingly strong.


    This sword technique indeed had great power, but the further in, the pressure on him was enormous too. It could be said to be harming people and himself.


    Therefore, the 15th move was already his limit.


    Continue executing it and he was going to hurt himself.


    Chi Shang also did not expect that a puny little Emperor Sakra Heaven could actually force him to such an extent.


    However, only when he saw that Ye Yuan��s aura was getting weaker and weaker did he feel slightly more at ease.


    Inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array, only a series of indiscriminate bombarding sounds could be heard.


    Ye Yuan was seriously wounded. If it were someone else, they would have long already collapsed.


    Gaining enlightenment at this kind of despairing moment, no one could do it at all.


    But at this time, Ye Yuan was frighteningly calm.


    Under the fierce fighting, he could feel the undulation of the Bloodcloud Grand Array even more distinctly!


    This was the strongest origin of blood in this world!


    Within Ye Yuan��s body, four kinds of true spirit bloodlines were being controlled by his origin of blood and operating in a special way.


    The four great true spirit bloodlines seemed to have a resonance.


    Although Ye Yuan had intercepted the Chaos Bloodstone��s origin of blood, his understanding of the origin of blood was already completely different.


    The Chaos Bloodstone��s origin of blood was very tyrannical and evil, and it pursued the limits of power.


    But Ye Yuan had tread out his own Dao after assimilating the origin of blood.


    And at this time, Ye Yuan corroborated his own Dao with the Bloodcloud Grand Array one by one, learned from others�� strong points while overcoming the weak points, and gradually had a new comprehension.


    ��Blood, the feeling that it gives people is always ominous.��


    ��Blood, it represents getting injured, represents death.��


    ��But it represents flesh and blood living things! In this world, all living things with flesh would have blood! It is a part of life! Furthermore, it��s a very important part!��


    ��The Chaos Bloodstone drew the purest power of flesh and blood living beings in all the heavens to strengthen himself, and let himself transcend the Great Beyond. But he can��t represent the origin of blood!��


    ��Chaos, origin of blood, bloodline power! What lets bloodline return to the earliest phase is chaos!��


    Ye Yuan��s eyes grew brighter and brighter. The bloodline power in his body was already boiling over.


    The four great true spirit bloodlines had always been operating within his body but had clear distinctions from each other.


    Four kinds of bloodline power, they were equally powerful but incompatible like water and fire.


    But at this time, they actually showed signs of fusion!


    With this fusion, the strength within Ye Yuan��s body seemed to have exploded!


    Boom!


    A terrifying power erupted from his bloodline.


    ��Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!��


    Behind Ye Yuan, the four symbols phantoms emitted shocking furious roars at the same time, and the overwhelming auras actually started to skyrocket!


    And their bodies also became more solid.


    At this time, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, these four phantoms, seemingly became four genuine chaos true spirits!


    Seeing this shocking transformation, Chi Shang��s expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm, ��This �� This is chaos grade true spirit bloodline! How is this possible? How can a mortal body possibly change qualitatively into an innate chaos true spirit bloodline?��


    You lei was similarly incomparably shocked as he said, ��Innate chaos true spirits, there were a total of five that were born in this world! Three of them died in Progenitor��s hands! It��s simply impossible for chaos grade bloodline to change qualitatively post-natal! How did he do it?��


    After the shock, Chi Shang felt his scalp tingle, and he bellowed, ��Quick! Use your trump cards! We can��t let him succeed in transforming!��


    Chi Shang did not dare to imagine how terrifying a power would be produced if four great chaos true spirit bloodlines gathered in one body at the same time.


    Therefore, he did not dare to wait anymore!


    Even if he injured himself and his strength declined greatly, he had to risk it all too!


    Only to see bloody light on his body surging to the sky, the blood sword in his hand becoming incomparably scarlet, looking unbelievably sinister!


    And Chi Shang��s aura actually suddenly broke through the limits, becoming incomparably close to Peak Hegemon!


    The current Chi Shang was akin to a fiendgod!


    ��18th move, Wrath of the Blood God!��


    On the other side, You Lei and Meng Jin��s expressions similarly changed wildly. At this moment, they no longer held anything back and used their strongest blow.


    After executing this kind of trump card ultimate technique, it would either be a huge drain, leaving them powerless to fight anymore, or it would harm themselves, making it very difficult to recover.


    Chi Shang��s Wrath of the Blood God belonged to the latter, while You Lei and Meng Jin��s moves belonged to the former.


    But without a doubt, after they used it at this time, even heaven and earth trembled because of it!


    Three terrifying to the extreme attacks arrived in an instant, converging at where Ye Yuan was standing.

 Chapter 3093 - Chaos Grade Bloodlines Power!

    Boom!


    An intense rumble reverberated throughout the entire blood cloud space.


    The place that Ye Yuan was standing at was virtually engulfed in an instant, disappearing without a trace.


    The terrifying pressure of the four symbols true spirits also completely vanished under this combined attack.


    Chi Shang felt akin to being relieved of a heavy burden and said, ��I really didn��t expect that killing a measly little Emperor Sakra Heaven actually needed this seat to use Wrath of the Blood God! With this, without a thousand years of cultivation, I can forget about recovering to my peak state!��


    Meanwhile, You Lei and Meng Jin, two people who had wilted auras, their conditions were far worse than before.


    In this final strike, they exerted all of their strength too.


    ��Luckily, the mission is considered complete! Our blood race has eliminated a great calamity in our hearts!�� Meng Jin said with some lingering fear.


    Before this, he absolutely would not have admitted that a measly little Emperor Sakra Heaven would be the hidden danger in the blood race��s heart, even if this person was so and so monstrous in the rumors.


    But now, he was in great admiration with Progenitor and Lord Yi Xue��s cautiousness.


    While Chi Shang was very careful and said, ��Meng Jin, go and confirm it!��


    Meng Jin nodded his head and headed towards that cloud of mist.


    Right at this time, an abnormality suddenly occurred.


    That cloud of mist actually suddenly started to spin, forming an energy vortex.


    The vortex grew larger and larger and increasingly stronger.


    In a twinkle, the energy vortex started to devour the Bloodcloud Grand Array��s power.


    Countless red lights were sucked in by the energy vortex.


    Chi Shang��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in alarm, ��This �� What��s going on here?��


    You Lei said in shock, ��The Bloodcloud Grand Array��s power is actually being drawn away! Could it be that that boy didn��t die?��


    Just as they were speaking, a figure gradually appeared in the energy vortex. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?


    Not only did Ye Yuan not die, furthermore his strength at this time was currently rising rapidly!


    Chi Shang was dumbfounded and said, ��Is �� Is he breaking through? He��s absorbing the Bloodcloud Grand Array��s power to break through? G-Got to be kidding?��


    The energy of blood could only be absorbed by the blood race.


    Once powerhouses of other races absorbed it, their own origins would also be corrupted. Not only would they be unable to break through, but it would also even sever their cultivation path.


    But now, Ye Yuan was actually absorbing the energy of blood!


    Inside the vortex, Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��The Dao of Blood is a Great Dao, it isn��t exclusive to your blood race! My four great bloodlines have just stepped into chaos grade, and just happen to need the nourishment of these energies of blood. Thanks a lot! Yi Xue carefully planned this assassination. But he did not expect he actually gave me a big gift, right?��


    The hearts of Chi Shang three people sank to rock-bottom.


    This guy was actually using the energy of blood that they bitterly collected to strengthen himself!


    Only to see that there were four small and exquisite four great true spirits in front of Ye Yuan��s chest, currently slowly rotating.


    Those energies of blood that were absorbed were currently pouring into their bodies!


    And Ye Yuan��s aura also rose immensely during this.


    ��We can��t let him break through! Kill again!��


    Chi Shang knew that things were amiss, and he used another Wrath of the Blood God without hesitation!


    Although You Lei and Meng Jin were somewhat short on strength, they could not care that much at this time either, overdrawing on the power of origin and smashing toward Ye Yuan without heed for their lives.


    Except, the power of their moves was much worse compared to earlier.


    Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, ��Even your strongest moves couldn��t kill me. Isn��t it too laughable to come and try to kill me again now? Just nice, I can use you all to measure the power of chaos grade bloodline!��


    In the vortex, the pressure on Ye Yuan��s burst forth once more!


    This time, the pressure of the bloodlines made the entire space tremble!


    Innate chaos grade bloodline, furthermore, it was four types of bloodlines combining, in terms of level, it was already completely not worse than Progenitor Bloodstone.


    The only thing that Ye Yuan was lacking in was just level of attainment!


    But, facing Chi Shang these three people, it was enough!


    The bloodline power of the four symbols phantoms gathered on Ye Yuan��s fist.


    Ye Yuan threw a punch out. The terrifying saint force exploded like an erupting volcano!


    Before even clashing, Chi Shang already felt the pressure that blotted out the skies and covered the earth.


    ��Four Symbols �� Heading for Sainthood!��


    This punch of Ye Yuan��s slammed right toward Meng Jin.


    Meng Jin only felt like the sky was going to collapse!


    The ultimate move that he overdrew on origin power to use was like paper paste in front of Ye Yuan��s punch.


    Boom!


    A loud noise.


    Meng Jin��s body was directly turned into nothingness.


    He was directly obliterated by that powerful saint force!


    Meanwhile, Chi Shang and You Lei were directly sent flying away by this tremendous force.


    Their ultimate moves were directly dispersed!


    Chi Shang and You Lei looked at Ye Yuan at the same time, shock and horror on their faces.


    The power of this punch was also too terrifying, right?


    This kind of punch, if it was thrown out by a Hegemon Realm, they would not be surprised at all.


    But Ye Yuan was just Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    Chaos grade bloodline was actually utterly horrifying!


    Killing a Hegemon Realm with one punch, this kind of strength, even if it was Hegemon Realms, it could not be done too!


    Blood race Hegemons were notorious for being hard to kill.


    Their recovery ability was more than ten thousand times of Emperor Sakra Heaven��s!


    Wanting to thoroughly kill blood race Hegemons was virtually something impossible.


    But Ye Yuan did it!


    For a moment, the two people actually did not dare to step forward anymore.


    But, they could not get out of this Bloodcloud Grand Array too!


    The current state was really awkward.


    When Ye Yuan broke through his realm, he would definitely kill them without the slightest hesitation.


    This was also to say that they were quietly awaiting death.


    This kind of sensation really made people despair.


    Ye Yuan withdrew his fist, very satisfied with the power of this punch.


    The lethality of saint force was indeed not what ordinary origins could compare to.


    This kind of power that originated from the Door of Eternal Life was extremely mysterious.


    No one could say clearly what it was.


    But it was just powerful.


    Being able to jump realms and battle, what Ye Yuan relied on was naturally this.


    After breaking through to chaos grade bloodline, Ye Yuan could clearly feel that the four great bloodlines underwent a transformation from quantitative to qualitative.


    Even if it was an independent bloodline, the power could not even be mentioned in the same breath.


    No wonder the four great true spirit clans had always been the 33 Heavens�� top race.


    If not for Heavenless, Samsara, and Progenitor Bloodstone, these freaks emerging, Mi Tian would be in that apex group in this world.


    ��After I broke through, I should have the strength to fight with Peak Hegemons, right?�� Ye Yuan said a little excitedly.


    The energy vortex grew larger and larger. The Bloodcloud Grand Array started trembling.


    Chi Shang and You Lei looked at each other, the look in their eyes becoming more and more seemingly in despair.


    A day later, the vortex dissipated. Ye Yuan walked out of it.


    At this time, he already reached upper Emperor Sakra Heaven and was only a step away from grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    When he reached grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven, Ye Yuan would be able to bombard the Door of Eternal Life, and assault that fleeting and ephemeral realm of Hegemon!


    Seeing Ye Yuan walk over, Chi Shang and You Lei completely broke down.


    ��Even �� Even if you kill us, you can��t get out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array too! When you go out, Lord Yi Xue will already be waiting for you!�� Chi Shang said, threatening in manner but inwardly shaky.


    Ye Yuan smiled lightly and said, ��Is that so? Then, I��ll go out first before killing you guys, alright?��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan raised a fist, saint force encircling, and he struck at the horizon!


    Boom!


    A deafening rumble that shocked the ears could be heard. A huge hole was actually punched out by him!


    Chi Shang��s two eyes became wide saucers, and he said in disbelief, ��This �� How is this possible?��

 Chapter 3094 - Sacrificing Lives for Justice!

    The mountain pass gates shattered. Corpses were scattered everywhere.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses suffered countless casualties.


    After three days of fighting, more than half of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s elites were dead or injured!


    Even if it was Hegemon Realms, more than a hundred died too!


    As for below Hegemon Realm, the casualties were even beyond counting.


    This war was tragic to the extreme.


    Of course, the blood race did not get off cheap either, similarly suffering heavy losses.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses were completely risking their lives, completely disregarding casualties.


    Different from the other heavens, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s cohesiveness was hair-raisingly strong.


    Even Yi Xue was visibly moved by it too.


    He thought that an absolute advantage would destroy these people��s will to fight very soon and make them fall apart and run away.


    However, it did not!


    In fact, those powerhouses that were brought back from all the heavens also fought until the last drop of blood one after another.


    However, the blood race had a powerful recovery ability. In contrast, their losses were much smaller.


    Around the vicinity of Extreme Medicine Sect��s main hall, a large group of Hegemon Realm powerhouses gathered.


    Feng Xiaotian led more than ten Hegemon Realms and was currently defending nearby the main hall to the death.


    He was dyed in blood all over, his aura disorderly, but his fighting spirit rose to the sky!


    ��Haha, Feng Xiaotian, you all are risking your lives to defend this region of space. It looks like there��s really good stuff here! If I didn��t guess wrongly, the Heaven volume should be in here!�� Bloodpromise looked at Feng Xiaotian and said with a loud laugh.


    Feng Xiaotian said in a solemn voice, ��So what if yes?��


    Bloodpromise grinned and said, ��Do you still want to have a cornered beast fight? In your current state, how long can you last?��


    Feng Xiaotian wiped away the blood stains at the corners of his mouth and said proudly, ��As long as I��m alive, you can forget about taking half a step into the Extreme Light Pavilion!��


    In the midst of the fierce battle, an attack almost destroyed the Extreme Medicine Sect��s main hall.


    This was the entrance to the Extreme Light Pavilion. It was also the location of the Heaven volume. It was where the foundation of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven lay.


    It was naturally impossible for Feng Xiaotian to passively watch the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space be destroyed, so he sacrificed himself to block this attack.


    But, like this, it exposed the importance of this place too.


    Regarding this kind of space, it was very easy to hide from those below Hegemon. But it naturally could not be concealed from a powerhouse like Bloodpromise.


    Hence, Bloodpromise gathered a large number of Hegemon Realms and attacked this place fiercely.


    Originally, Feng Xiaotian had dozens of Hegemon Realms around him. But, in order to protect this place, they had nowhere to retreat and were unable to bypass the battle. They could only resist head-on.


    After three days, there were only over ten Hegemon Realms left around Feng Xiaotian. Furthermore, each and every one was severely wounded.


    ��Hahaha, like a mantis blocking a chariot! Feng Xiaotian, you and I have fought for so many years. Killing you today, it��s really a little melancholic! Attack together! Destroy this region of space and snatch the Heaven volume!��


    Under his word of command, dozens of Hegemon Realms rushed over like the wind.


    Feng Xiaotian took the lead and went to meet the arriving enemies.


    The fresh blood on his body added some desolate slaughter aura.


    More than ten people versus dozens of people, this was a completely unfair battle.


    But no one retreated!


    ��Zicang, Mingjiang, the two of you protect my flanks. After the others enter the hall, leave Bloodpromise they all to me!�� Feng Xiaotian shouted fiercely.


    There was no need for him to instruct. These two people were long already covering his flanks.


    Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang, these two people were his comrades when he was at South Qi Giant City. Their cooperation had long already had a tacit agreement.


    South Qi Giant City was a meat grinder, but it also gave birth to a large number of powerhouses.


    Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang were outstanding talents among them.


    Originally, it was very difficult for them to break through to Hegemon Realm.


    But Ye Yuan made the Chaos Origin Formation. Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang, two people, broke through to Hegemon Realm in one stroke.


    These two people had undergone trials in South Qi Giant City for many years. They were both people who were used to fighting, their combat power being extremely formidable. That was how they lived until now.


    However, they were already arrows at the end of their flight too.


    Fighting in close quarters, facing the powerful attacks of dozens of Hegemons, this group of people seemed to be struggling.


    Of course, the most stressful one was naturally Feng Xiaotian.


    He was currently still facing six great Peak Hegemons by himself!


    And on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s side, there was only him alone left!


    But, facing such great disparity in strength, no one retreated.


    Facing this battle situation of ten over people, Bloodpromise actually still failed to take them down after a long battle!


    This group of people was too tenacious!


    ��Jin Yu, you go and cut off the flank. We��ll surround and besiege Feng Xiaotian again!�� Bloodpromise suddenly said.


    ��Okay!��


    Jin Yu was also one of the Peak Hegemons. After receiving the order, he turned around and headed for the flank.


    Feng Xiaotian��s heart sank, but he was already powerless to stop it.


    He was currently holding on entirely based on one breath. Regardless of whether it was spirit or physical body, they had all already reached the limit.


    Jin Yu��s figure drew a blood-colored arc in the air, flying straight for Zhou Zicang!


    ��Be careful, Zicang!�� Feng Xiaotian��s both eyes turned blood-red, crying out fiercely.


    But Zhou Zicang laughed loudly and said, ��Hahaha, perfect! City Lord Feng, I, Old Zhou, will be making a move first!��


    Finished saying that, he looked at Jin Yu and said with a loud laugh, ��Damn bastard! Want to kill me, Zhou Zicang, it will break your teeth!��


    Behind him, the Door of Eternal Life appeared.


    Zhou Zicang��s entire person seemed to incarnate into a blazing fire, the aura on his body suddenly rising to an extremely terrifying level.


    He was only a hair��s breadth away from Peak Hegemon!


    Feng Xiaotian was facing five great Peak Hegemons and naturally could not get away. But how could he not feel Zhou Zicang��s situation?


    But at this moment, he felt relieved.


    ��Hahaha, take care, Old Zhou! This Feng will be following right away!�� Feng Xiaotian suddenly laughed heroically and said.


    Zhou Zicang had a calm look, holding a long saber in his hand, and swept across horizontally.


    Puchi!


    A Hegemon Realm head-on could not avoid it in time and was directly obliterated by this blade!


    And this blade��s momentum did not reduce. It was as if it was going to split apart this firmament, flying straight for Jin Yu.


    Jin Yu��s expression changed slightly. He felt the sharpness of this blade!


    The power of this blade definitely already reached the level of a Peak Hegemon!


    If he resisted it head-on, it would definitely be the outcome of mutual defeat!


    It was only to see Jin Yu��s expression flicker, his body flying out in the air, attempting to dodge this blade.


    At this moment, he retreated!


    Either way, this saber of Zhou Zicang��s had already depleted his life force. He was deader than dead.


    A frontal confrontation was not worth it!


    ��Hahaha, coward! You don��t even dare to receive a blade from Your Father! Go to hell!��


    Amidst the loud laugh, Zhou Zicang��s saber momentum turned, chasing right after Jin Yu, forcing him to accept the challenge.


    Jin Yu was greatly shocked, because this saber was too fast!


    No time to think too much, he turned around and dealt a blow.


    Boom!


    In the void, two powerful attacks collided together fiercely.


    ��Pffft!��


    Jin Yu spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, feeling like all the blood in his body was blowing apart.


    This saber of Zhou Zicang��s still inflicted heavy wounds on him.


    But at this time, Zhou Zicang��s body fell down softly, falling from the air. He had already stopped breathing.


    ��Mad man! Really a bunch of lunatics!�� Jin Yu cursed angrily.


    This group of people was simply a bunch of mad men.


    Not a single person escaped. All of them fought to the last breath.


    Zhou Zicang was merely an ordinary Hegemon, but he erupted with shocking combat power, inflicting heavy wounds on him, this Peak Hegemon.


    This was something unimaginable in other places.


    However, before he recovered from the shock, another shocking attack erupted above the void again, flying straight for him.


    Jin Yu felt all the hair on his body stand on end, only feeling the scent of death coming head-on.


    ��City Lord Feng, Old Song will also be making a move first! Hahaha, dog thing, die!�� Song Mingjiang��s voice reverberated throughout the heavens.

 Chapter 3095 - I Dye The Blue Sky With My Blood!

    ��Zicang, Mingjiang, you guys take care!��


    The current Feng Xiaotian was unusually calm.


    His whole life was a lifetime of fighting and conquering. He had seen too many partings of life and death.


    Being entrenched in the besieged South Qi Giant City in the past, God knew how many fellow officers around him had left him. He had long already become indifferent to it.


    However, this did not mean that he was not furious!


    Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang were his left and right arms. They were extremely close to him.


    These two people also made tremendous contributions in blocking the enemy outside South Qi Giant City.


    Jin Yu was already seriously wounded by these two people��s desperate attacks and virtually did not have the strength to fight anymore.


    This was exchanged by Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang with their lives!


    They only did it for that steadfastness in their hearts.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was their home. Even if they risked their lives, they had to protect this hot soil too.


    Feng Xiaotian was the same!


    ��Feng Xiaotian, it looks like you already have some awareness!�� Bloodpromise looked at Feng Xiaotian and was immensely pleased with himself.


    The people around Feng Xiaotian got fewer and fewer.


    Apart from Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang, the other people��s combat power was clearly much worse.


    This bone that was difficult to bite down on was finally chomped down by him!


    This group of powerhouses that Feng Xiaotian led was clearly Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s core force.


    If they died, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would be tantamount to being finished!


    Looking at this scene, a hint of decisiveness flitted across Feng Xiaotian��s face.


    ��Humph! I, Feng Xiaotian, have fought with the blood race for thousands of years. I��ve long already left life and death out of my consideration! Why should we rejoice over life, and why should we be bitter about death? However, if you want me to die, you all will have to pay a great price too!��


    Boom!


    It was only to see Feng Xiaotian snort coldly, the aura on his body suddenly erupting!


    Behind him, the Door of Eternal Life appeared.


    Feng Xiaotian��s life force started burning crazily!


    ��I dye the blue sky with my blood! Wind! Thunder! Transformation!��


    All of a sudden, Feng Xiaotian��s body spurted wildly with fresh blood, wind and thunder, two great origins, were wandering around him frenziedly.


    Fresh blood rippled in heaven and earth, and it actually gave birth to another Feng Xiaotian!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    �� . .


    Suddenly, dozens of Feng Xiaotians appeared above the void!


    These dozens of Feng Xiaotians, each one was a peak ordinary Hegemon!


    Furthermore, the auras were exactly the same!


    Bloodpromise��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in surprise, ��E-Each one is real?��


    The other blood race Hegemons also felt their scalps tingle one by one.


    Reaching their level of realm, illusion attacks were simply useless skills.


    Each person had a unique origin aura on their bodies. Hegemon Realms could easily differentiate which was the real self.


    No matter how realistic the illusion was, it could not imitate the aura of the main body too.


    But Feng Xiaotian��s illusions were different!


    These illusions were all condensed and formed by him cooperating with origin aura with blood essence. They were created by him at the expense of him burning his life as the price.


    This move could only be used once in a lifetime.


    This was the last time!


    Bloodpromise knew Feng Xiaotian too well, and he knew all of his moves. But he had never seen before this move.


    Too outrageous!


    Above the void, dozens of Feng Xiaotians had cold eyes and stark murderous intent.


    As if hundreds of wild beasts were staring at the blood race��s powerhouses.


    ��Kill!��


    Dozens of Feng Xiaotians shouted angrily in unison, their voices shaking the sky, charging towards the blood race��s Hegemons!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Above the sky of Extreme Medicine Sect��s main peak, it suddenly exploded!


    Feng Xiaotians had unstoppable momentum, akin to one proud sun after another, blowing through the sky!


    Those blood race Hegemons originally held the absolute advantage.


    But this advantage was reversed in an instant!


    Three Feng Xiaotians charged straight for Jin Yu, fury surging to the sky!


    The three people��s fist winds fluttered, bombarding the severely injured Jin Yu without pulling his punches in the slightest.


    He wanted to take revenge for his brothers!


    Jin Yu was severely damaged by the two ordinary Hegemons. He had not caught his breath yet, and Feng Xiaotian had already come.


    Seeing the situation, Jin Yu was in horror.


    He was currently greatly weakened. How could he be the enraged Feng Xiaotian��s match?


    ��Save ����


    Before yelling out ��save me�� these two words, the three Feng Xiaotians had already arrived.


    Fist images permeated, slamming down like a storm, directly engulfing Jin Yu.


    At the same time, 20 Feng Xiaotian clones counter-checkmated Bloodpromise and five top Hegemons instead.


    Feng Xiaotian corroborated his Dao with battle. Even if his clones only had the strength of ordinary Hegemons, his combat power was strong to the extreme too!


    These 20 Feng Xiaotian clones directly suppressed the five great Peak Hegemons.


    Woo, woo, woo ��


    The sound of wind blew across the sky, emitting a series of whimpering sounds. It was as if lamenting the Hegemons who died.


    In the encirclement of three great Supreme Hegemons, Zhuo Bufan��s sword energy crisscrossed, standing rock-solid.


    But at this time, he let out a sigh and said sorrowfully, ��Have a safe trip, brother!��


    Cloudmount was also in the heat of battle with two great Supreme Hegemons. Feeling Feng Xiaotian��s aura, he had hot tears in his eyes as he said, ��Fine lad, got guts! Rest assured, us old fellows will definitely kill off the blood dogs and avenge you!��


    Mi Tian��s gaze turned dark, feeling his heart aching, the strength in his hands growing a little heavier.


    After coming to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, this place left an extremely deep impression on him.


    Having fought against the blood race for thousands of years, the Heaven One Alliance��s unyielding and hot-bloodedness was what he had never seen before despite wandering through all the heavens.


    Unknowingly, he was infected too.


    The geniuses here might not be that monstrous, but they all had a stubborn and tenacious spirit!


    Feng Xiaotian was even above average among them.


    Regarding Feng Xiaotian, Mi Tian thought very highly of him and personally gave him guidance many times too.


    Today, Feng Xiaotian��s blood spilled in the sky, using his hot blood to fight until the last moment!


    Opposite Mi Tian, Yi Xue��s face also revealed a hint of respect.


    ��Although we��re enemies, you all have earned our respect! Mi Tian, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is different from the others!�� Yi Xue lamented.


    That tone was as if chatting with an old friend.


    Yi Xue dominated the blood race army and swept across all the heavens.


    But not a single place was as tenacious as Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Even in an absolute inferior position, no one stepped back too.


    Every single one was willing to lay down their lives and spill their hot blood for this hot soil!


    Even until now, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army was already more than half lost, their combat power greatly reduced. But they did not show the slightest signs of collapse too.


    Feng Xiaotian even pushed this solemn and stirring fighting spirit to the pinnacle!


    Those powerhouses who were still fighting dauntlessly in bloody battles, at this moment, it was as if their blood was immolated.


    Many people��s eyes had hot tears but became even more valiant and vigorous.


    The four great true spirit clans�� powerhouses had already completely integrated into this collective at this time too.


    As if Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had become their second home.


    An astonishing imposing momentum condensed and formed!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The rumbling sounds lingered incessantly, but the auras of the Feng Xiaotians became weaker and weaker.


    Finally, the illusions dissipated one by one, and the fighting sound became weaker and weaker.


    Above the sky of the main peak, it was in ruins.


    The dozens of blood race Hegemons originally were actually more than half dead and injured at this time.


    The remaining ones similarly had disorderly auras, their strength greatly diminished.


    Above the void, a figure stood proudly!


    Feng Xiaotian stood proudly in the air, glaring ahead, his entire body covered in blood!


    That fighting spirit that billowed to the sky still had not dissipated!


    But the current Feng Xiaotian no longer had any aura on his body.


    His life force was already burned out.


    An era��s god of war had fallen!

 Chapter 3096 - God of War Never Dies!

    Feng Xiaotian stood proudly in midair, his aura surging to the sky, not dissipating for a long time.


    That shocking fighting spirit actually supported his physical body from falling down.


    He just stood at the entrance of the Extreme Light Pavilion, glaring at all of the blood race��s powerhouses.


    He was akin to a furious vajra, guarding Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s last foundation.


    For a moment, there was actually no one who dared to step forward, including Bloodpromise.


    The entire battlefield actually fell into a brief respite because of his demise.


    Yi Xue had a somber expression, and he said solemnly, ��Fighting spirit condensing without dissipating, causing Great Dao resonance. If he didn��t die, he should have broken through to Supreme Hegemon in one stroke, right? This person is admirable!��


    Such an opponent made a powerhouse like Yi Xue visibly moved too.


    In reality, many blood race powerhouses revealed looks of respect on their faces too.


    Although he was dead, his soul was still alive!


    Mi Tian, Cloudmount, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest all closed their eyes in pain.


    ��City Lord Feng, goodbye! We won��t disgrace you!��


    ��We��ll definitely make the blood dogs pay a terrible price!��


    ��City Lord Feng, your unfinished business, we��ll definitely help you finish it!��


    �� . .


    Many heroes quietly shed tears at this time.


    They were sending Feng Xiaotian off with their eyes, sending away the hero in their hearts!


    Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and said, ��Your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven has too many fine lads! Now that the situation has played out like this, are you still insisting on sacrificing their lives? As long as you surrender, I can plead with Progenitor on your behalf to spare them from death!��


    Mi Tian laughed loudly when he heard that and said, ��Yi Xue, are you joking? Feng Xiaotian��s corpse has yet to turn cold. He dyed the blue sky with his hot blood and is currently watching us in heaven! Which one of us do you think dares to take a step back?��


    Actually, Yi Xue had long already anticipated the result, but he still said it.


    Hearing what Mi Tian said, Yi Xue smiled lightly, then recovered to that unrivaled powerhouse again, and said coolly, ��Since that��s the case, then we��ll �� be irreconcilable till death! Everyone, obey my order. Slaughter Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and spare not even fowls and dogs! Bloodpromise, break through the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space, and snatch the Heaven volume!��


    Whoosh!


    Under his word of command, the brief respite was broken once again.


    Battle cries that shook the heavens sounded out again.


    Bloodpromise looked at Feng Xiaotian and actually wavered a little and did not advance!


    The current Feng Xiaotian, regardless of whether it was fighting spirit or aura, it was all still at his peak state, without dissipating at all!


    Especially that pair of furious eyes, it was currently staring right at him as if they were going to devour him.


    In terms of momentum, he had already lost!


    He swallowed his saliva, seemingly emboldening himself as he said, ��Feng Xiaotian, do you think that you can still frighten this seat after you��re dead?��


    Finished saying, Bloodpromise raised a fist and smashed toward Feng Xiaotian viciously.


    Right at this time, the origin power around Feng Xiaotian actually moved on its own under the situation where no one was controlling!


    Boom!


    A violent explosion sounded out. Bloodpromise��s entire person was actually blasted flying out.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were dumbfounded with shock.


    ��This �� What��s going on?��


    ��Isn��t Feng Xiaotian dead? How can he possibly launch an attack? Furthermore, it��s even so strong?��


    ��G-Got to be kidding! Never seen before a dead man who can still launch attacks!��


    �� . .


    Everyone was shocked!


    A dead person actually sent the Peak Hegemon Bloodpromise flying!


    This sort of thing was simply unheard of.


    Furthermore, they clearly detected that Feng Xiaotian really did not have any aura and also did not activate divine essence.


    Everything was all heaven and earth spiritual energy moving on its own!


    Bloodpromise shot to his feet and cried out angrily, ��Feng Xiaotian, are you trying to tell me that even if you��re dead, I��m not your match either? Can I, Bloodpromise, still lose to a dead person today? Attack together for me! I want to see how long this guy can last!��


    Under Bloodpromise��s word of command, those Hegemon Realm powerhouses stepped forward one after another, each displaying their divine abilities.


    But a forcefield seemingly formed around Feng Xiaotian. All attacks that arrived in his surroundings, the power of origin would be automatically generated, and then it would counterattack.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Those blood race Hegemon Realm powerhouses were all sent flying one after another.


    A blood race Hegemon was not careful and was actually directly wiped out!


    With this, everyone was even more shocked.


    The dead Feng Xiaotian was actually even stronger than when he was alive!


    The blood race army was actually unable to break through from in front of him.


    Bloodpromise��s face was ugly to the extreme.


    He had already rushed over many times. But each time, he would be sent flying by a powerful attack.


    ��City Lord Feng died in battle and continues to protect Extreme Light Pavilion too! His life force has already faded away, but his will to fight is still condensed here, not letting anyone take a step in!��


    ��City Lord Feng is a god of war!��


    ��God of War, hurrah!��


    �� . .


    Many Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven powerhouses had their eyes brimmed over with hot tears. Their eyes when looking at Feng Xiaotian were full of admiration.


    Although Feng Xiaotian was dead, he lived on forever in people��s hearts.


    Regardless of whether it was his comrades or his enemies!


    Yi Xue said coolly, ��A glorious death! Fighting spirit condensing without dissipating, drawing down heaven and earth Great Dao, forming a barrier of its own! If he didn��t die, his future accomplishments might not have been lower than yours and mine! This battle is exciting! This battle is tragic! However, it��s also precisely because of this that your blood is even more precious! I didn��t expect that three Blood Ward Beads were filled up in just Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Three Blood Ward Beads were currently devouring blood energy crazily above everyone��s heads.


    Yi Xue also did not expect that in a low-level plane like Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, it could actually fill up three Blood Ward Beads.


    This way, the one Blood Ward Bead that was used up to kill Ye Yuan was no big deal anymore.


    One had to know that the blood energy that the Blood Ward Bead collected was all extremely pure energy of blood.


    One Hegemon Realm might not be able to raise one-thousandth of the amount too.


    But in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, everyone��s will to fight was extremely fierce. This made the energy contained in their blood essence become even stronger.


    It was also precisely because of this that the collection of the Blood Ward Bead became particularly easy.


    Mi Tian��s expression was very ugly. No need to guess and he also knew that this great battle that swept across all the heavens, which was started by the blood race, it was precisely to collect the Blood Ward Beads.


    This was not a good thing!


    ��Alright, Feng Xiaotian is already dead. Ye Yuan should also already be dead now. Mi Tian, no matter to what extent this battle is fought until, you are the loser! Let us end this battle!��


    Yi Xue waved his hand. The blood race army mobilized again!


    The great battle started again!


    Bloodpromise and a group of Hegemons attacked Feng Xiaotian crazily.


    No matter how strong the god of war��s will, it was ultimately a masterless thing.


    The origins around him got lesser and lesser.


    The battle spirit was also about to shatter.


    When Bloodpromise saw this scene, he could not help being wildly ecstatic and said, ��Hahaha, Feng Xiaotian, even if they all revere you as a god of war, so what? You are ultimately a dead man!��


    Under the frenzied attacks, Feng Xiaotian��s physical body started swaying, looking like it was about to fall.


    Bloodpromise and the others seemed to be injected with stimulants and were about to rush into the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space.


    And right at this time, there was suddenly a loud noise that could be distinctly heard across the entire battlefield.


    That impregnable Bloodcloud Grand Array actually had an opening blasted open by someone from inside.


    A figure flew out swiftly at that time.


    Who was it if not Ye Yuan?


    Virtually at the same time, Yi Xue, Bloodpromise, Mi Tian, Cloudmount, Zhuo Bufan, all of them were shocked!

 Chapter 3097 - The Last Time Fighting Side by Side!

    ��This is impossible! Three days aren��t up yet. Furthermore, how can he possibly break through the Bloodcloud Grand Array?��


    Yi Xue looked at Ye Yuan who rose to the sky, staring dumbfoundedly.


    No one was clearer than him how strong the Bloodcloud Grand Array was.


    Even if a Supreme Hegemon was trapped, they absolutely could not come out in three days�� time too!


    But now, Ye Yuan came out!


    He prepared a certain-kill scenario. The most important thing was eliminating Ye Yuan, this future trouble.


    In the end, it actually failed!


    It was not just him. The blood race powerhouses were all dumbfounded with shock.


    An Emperor Sakra Heaven actually broke through the Bloodcloud Grand Array!


    Furthermore, he merely only used three days!


    ��Just what kind of freak is this guy? Even the Bloodcloud Grand Array actually can��t trap him too!��


    ��No, wait! Lord Yi Xue sent Chi Shang the three of them to go and kill Ye Yuan. Now that Ye Yuan came out, doesn��t that mean that ����


    ��Emperor Sakra Heaven killing Hegemon? This �� This ����


    �� . .


    Ye Yuan��s appearance immediately triggered a chain reaction.


    Many people immediately realized that Chi Shang the three of them were probably fraught with grim possibilities.


    But it was precisely this guess that made all the bloodkins extremely shocked.


    An Emperor Sakra Heaven killing three great Hegemons?


    What else was more ridiculous than this?


    But Mi Tian��s face revealed an expression akin to being relieved of a heavy burden.


    Three days had passed. The Bloodcloud Grand Array did not have any activities. Actually, he no longer harbored hope.


    Facing three great Hegemons, Ye Yuan did not have the possibility of surviving at all.


    But Ye Yuan gave him a pleasant surprise!


    This guy really killed his way out!


    ��Heh, this boy made this old man worry in vain!�� Cloudmount��s face also revealed a hint of a smile.


    With this battle being fought until now, everyone��s mood was heavy.


    Powerhouses fell one by one. Their strength was being devoured bit by bit.


    Now, even Feng Xiaotian died in battle too!


    What awaited them was only despair.


    But Ye Yuan killing his way out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array gave them hope!


    However, Ye Yuan had just flown out; his entire body trembled!


    He saw Feng Xiaotian, who had fighting spirit billowing to the sky, was no longer breathing!


    Ye Yuan��s two eyes instantly turned blood-red!


    The scenes from long ago replayed in his mind like a motion picture.


    At South Qi Giant City, that big and tall figure blocked the blood race army��s countless attacks.


    He was South Qi Giant City��s god!


    God of war!


    Back then, when Ye Yuan returned, he held off several of the blood race��s Hegemons with his power alone.


    That resoluteness, that willpower, it was admirable.


    But now, he was not around anymore!


    The time that Ye Yuan became friends with Feng Xiaotian was not considered long, but Feng Xiaotian was one of the few people that he held in great esteem!


    Now, he was no longer around!


    Seeing that fighting spirit that rose to the sky, and a body that was teetering on the verge of collapse, Ye Yuan instantly understood something.


    Even death could not stop his will to protect Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven too!


    He was not around, but his spirit was still here!


    Ye Yuan��s throat already choked up.


    At this time, two figures scurried out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array. It was precisely Chi Shang and You Lei.


    Chi Shang suffered a great loss of vitality. His foundation was clearly injured.


    You Lei��s aura was somewhat unstable. Clearly, he had expended a great deal of energy.


    When Yi Xue saw their miserable state, his brows could not help furrowing.


    Where was Meng Jin?


    A bad feeling welled up in his heart.


    When Chi Shang saw Yi Xue, it was like he saw his savior.


    ��Lord Yi Xue, Ye Yuan he gained enlightenment inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array and k-killed Meng Jin!�� Chi Shang said.


    ��Idiot!�� Yi Xue said with a livid expression.


    No need to ask and he knew that these morons must have underestimated the enemy. That was how Ye Yuan turned the tables.


    Although he knew that if it was him, it would probably be the same too.


    Who could have thought that a mere Emperor Sakra Heaven could actually really kill a Hegemon Realm powerhouse?


    The moment these words came out, everyone��s heart shook!


    Guessing it was one thing, but it coming out of Chi Shang��s mouth was another thing altogether.


    Ye Yuan really killed a Hegemon!


    Furthermore, Chi Shang and You Lei were so miserable, but Ye Yuan was like the noonday sun. This made people very curious about just what happened inside the Bloodcloud Grand Array?


    Why was it totally different from the situation they imagined?


    However, right when everyone was shocked, Ye Yuan suddenly moved!


    Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes. Chi Shang and You Lei��s necks were directly clutched by Ye Yuan, holding up in the air.


    The powerful Chi Shang and You Lei were like little chicks in Ye Yuan��s hands at this time; without the slightest strength to resist.


    Pffft!


    Ye Yuan exerted force. Chi Shang and You Lei were directly wiped out!


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock!


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right? Is �� Is he really still Emperor Sakra Heaven?��


    ��Although Chi Shang they all are greatly weakened, they are still Hegemon Realm after all! In his hands, they actually couldn��t even resist?��


    ��If he were to break through to Hegemon Realm, what would he be able to do?��


    �� . .


    Each and every one of the blood race powerhouses felt a chill in their hearts.


    Ye Yuan��s monstrousness already exceeded their imagination.


    Just at the Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm and he could kill Hegemon bare-handedly.


    They were unable to imagine what kind of terrifying degree the Hegemon Realm Ye Yuan would reach.


    Maybe he could confront Progenitor Bloodstone head-on?


    Many people trembled all over, being frightened by this thought.


    After killing two great Hegemons, Ye Yuan walked toward Feng Xiaotian slowly.


    There were many blood race powerhouses around him, but they did not dare to step forward at all.


    That display just now already intimidated everyone.


    Ye Yuan was seemingly slow, but in reality, he was fast, walking right past Bloodpromise.


    This place was the encirclement of the Hegemons!


    There were still more than 50 blood race Hegemons surrounding here!


    There were even five Peak Hegemons among them!


    Bloodpromise did not stop him, but he let out a cold laugh.


    This kid was courting death!


    ��Heh, are you going to learn from Feng Xiaotian? To accompany him on his way? Kid, this seat will grant your wish!�� Bloodpromise said with a light smile.


    Without Mi Tian��s cooperation, Ye Yuan had no way of executing the Realm Crossing Greater Teleportation at all.


    Even if his spatial rule was formidable, it was impossible to escape from under the eyelids of 50 Hegemon Realms too!


    Ye Yuan was walking right into a trap!


    ��It looks like this kid has quite the relationship with Feng Xiaotian. Feng Xiaotian died. He��s going to accompany him too.��


    ��So what even if he killed his way out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array? Could it be that he can still deal with so many of us Hegemons by himself?��


    ��I think that he sees nothing much can be done about it now, and he��s prepared to be like Feng Xiaotian; just a mantis blocking the chariot!��


    �� . .


    The blood race Hegemons surrounding Feng Xiaotian all let out gloating mockery.


    They naturally knew that Ye Yuan was angry. However, if being angry had a use, then what was cultivation for?


    In the end, strength still reigned supreme in this world!


    Without strength, there was only being slaughtered!


    Regarding their mocking, Ye Yuan turned a deaf ear to it, and he slowly arrived in front of Feng Xiaotian.


    It was only to see Feng Xiaotian having a look of unswerving determination, glaring ahead.


    If not for that there were no longer any signs of life in his body, Ye Yuan would even think that he was still fighting.


    Ye Yuan��s heart ached, and he opened his mouth and said, ��Brother Feng, back then in South Qi Giant City, we joined hands and crushed the blood race! Today, us brothers will fight side by side one last time. We��ll let these blood dogs know what��s called pain together!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan slowly turned around and carried Feng Xiaotian.


    Fighting spirit rose to the sky!

 Chapter 3098 - Great Reversal!

    ��Haha, carrying a dead man, you want to fight side by side? Do you really take us, these Hegemons, to be decorations? Ye Yuan, you��re joking around using your life!��


    Seeing Ye Yuan carry Feng Xiaotian, Bloodpromise mocked.


    Facing the encirclement of numerous Hegemon Realms, Ye Yuan was in a certain-death situation to begin with. Now, he actually even wanted to carry someone while fighting? Was he joking?


    ��Being able to kill a Hegemon is so impressive! He probably doesn��t even know what��s his surname anymore, right?��


    ��Heh, the outcome is a foregone conclusion now. Even if he got out of the Bloodcloud Grand Array, so what?��


    ��He just came out. He probably hasn��t even figured out the situation yet, right?��


    �� . .


    All around, there was a series of ridicules.


    Ye Yuan��s appearance indeed made them feel extreme shock and confusion, but this did not hinder the overall situation.


    In this kind of war that was unequaled by contemporaries, any individual��s strength was insufficient to change the entire war situation.


    Even Yi Xue and Mi Tian were unable to influence the war too.


    A mere Ye Yuan, was there any use in being angry?��


    Since it was useless, then Ye Yuan��s way of doing things appeared extremely laughable.


    Ye Yuan carried Feng Xiaotian, looked at Bloodpromise, and said, ��Brother Feng, you said that this guy is simply a piece of trash, but Heaven One is weak and never had the chance to trample him underfoot all along. Yet, this guy still regards himself as infallible and likes to posture. You��ve always been nursing a grievance! Today, I��ll trample him underfoot together with you, and let him know how trash he is!��


    These words seem to be said to Feng Xiaotian, but Bloodpromise found it extremely grating on the ears.


    Trash?


    Liked to posture?


    He was the blood race��s genius!


    Did he not have the capital to posture?


    Who the hell was Feng Xiaotian?


    Bloodpromise��s expression turned dark, and he said in a cold voice, ��Boy, do you think that by saying a few words, you can goad this seat? You��re still too inexperienced! This great battle concerns the destiny of all the heavens. How can it be a dispute caused by personal feelings? Since you��ve walked right into a trap, then �� you can go and die.��


    In Bloodpromise��s view, Ye Yuan was goading, triggering him to fight one-on-one. Only in this way would Ye Yuan have a chance to take revenge.


    But he would not give Ye Yuan this opportunity.


    Bloodpromise raised one hand up. All of the Hegemon Realm powerhouses accumulated power, awaiting release.


    Just waiting for his word of command and it would be a shocking attack.


    Even if Ye Yuan had three heads and six arms, there would only be a road that led to death too!


    Facing the pressure of dozens of Hegemons, Ye Yuan appeared especially calm and opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, ��You��re right. I indeed want to fight with you! However, I don��t need to goad you into action!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan formed seals with both hands. A storm of surging chaos divine essence emerged from his hands.


    Swoosh!


    The spell was fired into the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space by Ye Yuan with a back-hand. Right on the heels of that, the space started trembling violently. An enormous light door appeared above the void.


    As if it was some great primitive beast that was awakened by Ye Yuan.


    Bloodpromise��s expression changed slightly. He felt that something bad was about to happen.


    Could it be that this kid still had some trump card?


    But they already fought to this extent. What trump card could Ye Yuan still have?


    He could not figure it out after racking his brain too.


    Rumble ��


    Swoosh!


    A monster with a tiger head and human body dashed out of the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space, pouncing straight for a blood race Hegemon.


    Immediately after, more and more monsters appeared in everyone��s line of sight.


    Bloodpromise��s pupils constricted, looking at these monsters with a look of horror.


    Each of these monsters had the strength of Hegemon Realm!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Above the void, a shocking great battle immediately broke out.


    These monster Hegemons, each one of them was intrepid to the extreme, like they were bloodthirsty, pouncing towards the bloodthirsty Hegemons frenziedly.


    There were actually more than 800 of these monster Hegemons!


    Bloodpromise��s complexion was deathly pale, and he said in a panic, ��This �� How is this possible? More than 800 Hegemon Realm monsters, where did they come from?��


    More than 800 Hegemon Realm level bloodthirsty gods of war; what kind of terrifying strength was that?


    For a moment, countless powerful existences filled the sky, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.


    Their appearance suddenly turned the entire battle situation around!


    ��Leave that person to me. Kill the rest!�� Ye Yuan pointed at Bloodpromise and said.


    The dozens of Hegemon Realms that Bloodpromise led were virtually crushed into scraps by these 800 Hegemon Realm monsters in an instant.


    They revived non-stop and were continuously killed again.


    All the way until the end, they were finally unable to revive.


    Even if it was those Peak Hegemons, they could not escape this fate too.


    Being pummeled frenziedly by hundreds of Hegemon Realms, no matter how strong they were, it was to no avail too.


    Furthermore, these monsters all did not fear death and were dauntless to the extreme, their combat power going off the charts. None of them were easy to deal with.


    However, those monsters did not attack Bloodpromise, directly emptying out this region of space where he was standing.


    But they completely sealed off this large area of space. Bloodpromise did not even have the chance to run away.


    Bloodpromise��s complexion was deathly pale, a feeling of despair welling up in his heart.


    Just now, he was still pleased with himself, thinking that he had cornered Ye Yuan.


    But in a blink, it became his certain-death scenario!


    This huge reversal was too crazy!


    Over 800 Hegemon Realm level monsters instantly rushed out of the battlefield. This kind of impact was seriously too strong and too shocking.


    In the midst of fierce fighting, Yi Xue��s pupils constricted, and he said in astonishment, ��These �� These are those monsters �� that had their bloodlines nurtured? How �� How could they possibly all become Hegemon Realm?��


    It was not just Yi Xue; Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s side was also in extreme shock, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.


    The appearance of these 800 Hegemon Realms made the visual shock even stronger!


    Clearly, they all did not know that their side actually still had such a horrifying trump card.


    ��It��s those monsters! Many years ago, they already disappeared. I didn��t expect that they were actually forged into a Hegemon Realm army by Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    ��Amazing! Over 800 Hegemon Realms, this strength is enough to sweep across all the heavens! With them, we can even fight with the blood race!��


    ��They were all persecuted by the blood race. That��s how they became like this. The blood race also didn��t expect that there would be today, right? This is called retribution is great!��


    �� . .


    Originally, these people were all harboring the resolve to make a last ditch desperate attempt.


    But, who knew that the moment Ye Yuan appeared, it reversed the battle situation and became a one-sided slaughter!


    Hence, each and every one of them was incomparably invigorated, going all out and launching a major counter-offensive against the blood race army!


    ��Roar!��


    A shocking angry roar came over, and a monster with a huge body dashed out of the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space.


    This was the last one!


    Zhao Yue!


    The current Zhao Yue, his body was several times larger than before!


    His entire person��s aura became incomparably violent and unbelievably powerful!


    His appearance made everyone fall into even greater shock.


    It was because the current Zhao Yue had actually already reached Great Beyond Realm!


    His appearance pushed the momentum of the entire battlefield to the pinnacle!


    ��You go and help Senior Mi Tian. Take Yi Xue down! I��m going to use his blood to hold a memorial ceremony for Brother Feng!�� Ye Yuan said coldly.


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue lifted his head to the sky and roared angrily, rushing toward Yi Xue!

 Chapter 3099 - About on Par!

    ��Retreat!��


    Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Xue directly announced the retreat.


    Facing such a powerful Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, it was simply impossible for them to attain victory.


    It was only to see him attacked with a blood spear. Heaven and earth changed colors, attempting to force Mi Tian back.


    Mi Tian just smiled coldly and said, ��Wanting to leave isn��t so easy! My title, Hegemon Space, isn��t in name only!��


    Spatial origin surged out. The surrounding space seemed to be frozen and was actually solid as a metal bucket.


    This spear of Yi Xue��s was devoured by endless space.


    Meanwhile, the surrounding void was completely frozen!


    Freezing space did not need the numerous Hegemons to take action. Mi Tian��s power alone would suffice.


    Furthermore, with this space freezing, the power was even stronger than the blood race��s that time!


    Yi Xue��s expression changed wildly, and at this time, Zhao Yue arrived!


    ��Roar!��


    Zhao Yue��s enormous body and violent sharp claws appeared unbelievably brutal.


    This claw seemed like it was going to tear Yi Xue to pieces.


    Berserk saint force condensed on the tip of the claw. Places that it passed through, even the frozen space had fissures ripped apart.


    Yi Xue��s expression changed again, long spear swinging horizontally, facing off against Zhao Yue.


    Boom!


    Zhao Yue was directly sent flying out.


    But Zhao Yue drew a lone arc in midair and actually flew back again.


    At the same time, Mi Tian also found an opportunity to attack!


    Boom!


    The three people exchanged blows head-on. This time, it was Yi Xue��s turn to be sent flying out.


    Having fought this battle until now, it was his first time being in a disadvantageous position!


    This also meant that the battle situation had completely turned around.


    Above the void, three mighty Great Beyond powerhouses were fighting frenziedly. The energy undulations that exploded made everyone��s faces change.


    This life and death great battle entered the white-hot stage.


    However, Zhao Yue��s strength far exceeded everyone��s expectations.


    In terms of strength, he was still significantly worse than these two super powerhouses.


    But he charged without fear of death, and his berserk combat power made up for this gap.


    How rich was Mi Tian��s combat experience? With him assisting by the side, Yi Xue could only take a beating.


    In reality, Yi Xue already chose to retreat right away. He knew that nothing could be done anymore.


    But it was difficult to want to escape from Mi Tian��s hands!


    The blood race powerhouses originally slaughtered everywhere, sweeping through everything.


    But now, it was completely reversed.


    Mi Tian��s spatial freezing, the radius was huge, affecting them as well.


    Even if these people wanted to run away, there was no chance either.


    Hence, it actually became a one-sided massacre!


    The blood race powerhouses were reducing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    �� . .


    Ye Yuan carried Feng Xiaotian��s corpse and walked step by step to Bloodpromise.


    All around were battle cries that shook the heavens.


    But the two of them seemed to be cut off from the world.


    Everyone had overlooked them.


    ��I really didn��t expect that you actually still had such a trump card! These monsters�� talents are also just average. How can you possibly turn all of them into Hegemon Realms?�� Bloodpromise said in confusion.


    Ye Yuan said coolly, ��What the Chaos Bloodstone can do, I can naturally do it too.��


    Bloodpromise sneered when he heard that and said, ��Just the likes of you, you dared to be placed in the same category as Progenitor too? Who the hell do you think you are!��


    Ye Yuan still said calmly, ��If your Progenitor wasn��t apprehensive of me, why would there be a need to put forth such a grand line-up?��


    Bloodpromise��s expression changed, and he gave a cold snort but did not speak.


    Ye Yuan continued, ��Their bloodlines had been reformed to begin with. These few years, I devoted myself to researching bloodlines and finally gained something. I completely stimulated their bloodline power. Them breaking through realms is also merely something that happened naturally without extra effort. Reaching the Hegemon Realm is nothing difficult.��


    Ye Yuan had always been researching how to restore Zhao Yue and the others�� appearance and consciousness.


    But it was very hard.


    However, he found another path. It was finding a way to continue stimulating their bloodline.


    Later, Ye Yuan even obtained the Heavenly Dao Paintings. He stimulated these people��s bloodline power with the Heavenly Dao Paintings as a guide, letting them break through to Hegemon Realm in one stroke.


    And Zhao Yue��s evolution even exceeded Ye Yuan��s expectations.


    Zhao Yue��s talent was too good. He who obtained the Heavenly Dao Painting could be said to be improving at a tremendous pace.


    Later, he secretly sent these people into the Extreme Light Pavilion��s space. He did not even tell Mi Tian they all.


    Of course, it was also useless even if he told them.


    It was only so he could release the seal and let these monsters out.


    Otherwise, no one could control it.


    ��Hahaha �� Ye Yuan, do you know what��s called overestimating your own ability? Hegemon Realm is nothing difficult? These words are just a little conceited when other people say it. But, when it comes out of your mouth, that��s ignorant and laughable! You, a divergent cultivator, when you break through, that will be the day that you die! What are you talking about the Hegemon Realm for?�� Bloodpromise said with a wild laugh.


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coolly, ��Then you just watch how I talk about Hegemon Realm!��


    Swoosh!


    Four great bloodlines poured out of Ye Yuan��s body wildly, saint force exploding.


    Without the slightest flashiness, Ye Yuan smashed a punch right over!


    In the next second, Bloodpromise still had a look of disdain on his face.


    But in the next second, his pupils constricted, and he cried out in alarm, ��Four great chaos true spirit bloodlines! How is this possible?!��


    The moment Ye Yuan moved, there was shock all over the sky!


    Even Mi Tian��s movements were delayed by a fraction too.


    ��Chaos grade bloodline! He �� He actually promoted the four great true spirit bloodlines all to chaos grade?�� Long Jian��s expression changed wildly, and he cried out in shock.


    ��This is impossible! Chaos grade bloodline is absolutely impossible to reach post-natal! Quasi-chaos grade bloodline is already the limit! But �� But what on earth is going on?�� The White Tiger Clan��s Bai Zhi similarly had a look of shock.


    ��Doesn��t this mean that we also have hope of advancing to chaos grade bloodline?�� The moment Xuan Taiqing said these words, everyone trembled all over.


    White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise three clans, all had quasi-chaos grade bloodlines appear.


    Feng Qingxuan they all already had high hopes pinned on them.


    Quasi-chaos grade bloodline, although it was unable to reach the height of innate chaos grade bloodline, without a doubt, the potential was much greater than the others.


    Even if similarly Great Beyond Realm, Feng Qingxuan they all, their strength would also be far stronger than Luan Qinghe they all.


    But, if one could reach chaos grade bloodline post-natal, that significance was completely different!


    Now, Ye Yuan��s eruption had subverted everyone��s understanding of bloodline!


    The power of his punch was so strong!


    Boom!


    Facing the front, Ye Yuan carried Feng Xiaotian and smashed a fist fiercely onto Bloodpromise��s blood-colored shield.


    The blood-colored shield rippled. The terrifying power passed right through!


    Bloodpromise��s expression changed wildly. How could an ordinary Emperor Sakra Heaven break through the origin defenses of a Peak Hegemon?


    Forget about breaking through; it could not even make them tremble a little!


    The gap between Emperor Sakra Heaven and Peak Hegemon was really far too great, great until it was hard to make up for.


    But Ye Yuan directly broke it!


    The penetrative force of saint force was too fearsome!


    There was no time to think too much. Bloodpromise��s blood energy surged, and he similarly smashed a punch over.


    In the time it took for sparks to fly off a piece of flint, the two people exchanged a blow.


    Bang!


    The void exploded. The two people flew out backward.


    Ye Yuan retreated a thousand steps away before barely managing to stand firm.


    And because Bloodpromise was too hasty, he was directly smashed flying by a punch from Ye Yuan.


    Then he felt countless powerful auras lock onto him.


    Bloodpromise shuddered and hurriedly stabilized his figure, avoiding those powerful auras.


    However, his expression was ugly to the extreme.


    This punch just now, he was about on par with Ye Yuan!

 Chapter 3100 - : Illusionary Flowers Burying Gods!

    ��So strong! He �� He can actually stand up to a Peak Hegemon has an equal!��


    ��This is also too monstrous. Emperor Sakra Heaven versus Peak Hegemon, this is something unprecedented!��


    ��If he were to really break through to Hegemon Realm, how terrific would that be? Most likely, even Progenitor won��t be able to restrain him too!��


    �� . .


    Practically all of the blood race powerhouses trembled!


    What this punch broke was the rule since time immemorial, frightening them greatly!


    The powerful talent and combat power that Ye Yuan exhibited were sufficient to make myriad worlds tremble.


    He looked at Bloodpromise and said coldly, ��Peak Hegemon is nothing more than this too! Now, I��m going to fight side by side with Brother Feng. Do you still have any objections?��


    Bloodpromise��s face had long already become black as the bottom of a pot.


    When Ye Yuan piggybacked Feng Xiaotian, it seemed so laughable.


    No one thought that Ye Yuan could really avenge Feng Xiaotian.


    It was because the die was already cast.


    But in a blink of an eye, Ye Yuan produced clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another, directly reversing the battle situation, encircling Bloodpromise and turning Bloodpromise into a turtle in the jar.


    Until now, people also did not think that he really had the strength to contend with Bloodpromise.


    After all, Bloodpromise was not an ordinary person!


    He was a blood race��s genius, a powerful Peak Hegemon!


    The group of Peak Hegemons was commanded by him. This was sufficient to see his status in his blood race.


    But Ye Yuan told the world how strong he was with just one punch!


    Battling Hegemons did not need one to be in the Hegemon Realm at all.


    Suddenly, Bloodpromise��s aura changed, and he said in a solemn voice, ��Do you really think that this is my true strength? Even if you can jump realms and battle, so what? Want to beat me, be careful that it will cost your own life too!��


    At this point, he no longer harbored any mentality of getting lucky.


    He already had some realization that this was a certain-death situation. It was impossible to make Ye Yuan let him off.


    A beast at bay would put up a desperate fight!


    Since that was the case, he naturally had to put up a desperate fight!


    As long as he killed Ye Yuan, he would have profited too!


    The current Bloodpromise seemingly attained new life. Even his entire person��s temperament changed.


    He was far removed from the masses to begin with, his momentum shocking. It was just that two people appeared in his life, one Feng Xiaotian and one Ye Yuan.


    This made him become somewhat irritated and somewhat lacking in confidence.


    But, at the brink of desperation, the hot-bloodedness in his bones was already completely stimulated.


    Seeing this scene, many people started to worry.


    ��This guy wouldn��t be playing with fire and burn himself, right? Bloodpromise, this guy, isn��t someone that��s easy to deal with. His combat power that erupts, having all means of retreat be cut off, would definitely be very shocking!�� When Yang Qing saw this scene, he said rather worriedly.


    Feng Qingxuan bit her lips lightly and said, ��This guy just likes to mess around! Victory is clearly within grasp, but he insists on showing off his ability!��


    Yang Qing shook his head and said, ��You don��t understand. Some things have to be done! If it were me, I��d be the same too!��


    Feng Qingxuan frowned, her eyes revealing a look of worry.


    She indeed did not understand, but she was very worried about Ye Yuan.


    At present, Yang Qing and Feng Qingxuan had already stepped into Hegemon Realm, their strength extremely formidable.


    However, under this kind of great battle, their strength was still too weak.


    At this time, they had all sustained heavy injuries, but they were still killing the enemy courageously.


    Within a short time, Bloodpromise��s imposing momentum directly rose to the apex of Peak Hegemon!


    He was only half a step away from Supreme Hegemon too!


    One blood-colored petal after another spilled over from Bloodpromise��s body, scattering over heaven and earth.


    Very soon, countless blood flowers teemed the sky.


    Swoosh!


    A blood flower floating straight toward Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan dodged slightly, avoiding the blood flower.


    Puchi!


    A gash was actually cut open on Ye Yuan��s face!


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. He had clearly just avoided the blood flower but was cut!


    Puchi!


    A gash was also cut on Feng Xiaotian��s shoulder, fresh blood flowing down.


    Ye Yuan��s heart turned slightly cold. These blood flowers were not simple!


    He looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��Are you thinking why would you get injured when you clearly avoided my God-Burying Flower?��


    Ye Yuan did not answer. Bloodpromise seemed to not have the intention of letting him answer too, and continued, ��This move is called Illusionary Flowers Burying Gods! It��s a divine ability that I comprehended when I broke through to Peak Hegemon. Even Feng Xiaotian hasn��t tried this move before too! This move is derived from my lifetime��s comprehension. Experience it well!��


    ��Ye Yuan, you��re going to pay the price for your conceit! If you ordered them to kill me, there wouldn��t be the current consequence. Now, it��s too late! If I��m dying, you��ll have to be buried in death with me too!��


    Suddenly, Bloodpromise became brutal, and everyone��s expression changed.


    Blood flowers that filled the sky swept over toward Ye Yuan frenziedly.


    Bloodpromise said that it was too late. It was because the current Ye Yuan was already completely encircled by God-Burying Flowers and could not get out at all.


    Ye Yuan��s expression was unchanging, his figure directly turning into an afterimage, disappearing!


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    Pffft!


    Above the void, the sound of sharp knives tearing flesh and blood would come over from time to time.


    Yang Qing��s expression changed drastically, and he said, ��Not good, Ye Yuan is in danger! His spatial origin is actually being restrained!��


    Blood flowers that filled the skies danced wildly, giving people a breathtaking feeling.


    But amidst this stunning beauty, killing intent crisscrossed, making people feel a chill run down their spines.


    Everyone felt the power of this move!


    Everyone knew about Ye Yuan��s spatial means.


    But here, Ye Yuan actually did not have the leeway to unleash it!


    Cloudmount��s pupils constricted, and he roared wildly at those bloodline warriors, ��What are you all still waiting for? Attack together and kill Bloodpromise!��


    Among the bloodline warriors, there was already quite a number who had regained their intelligence.


    It was only to hear a few wild roars. The bloodline warriors made up of Hegemons mobilized!


    Bloodpromise��s expression changed slightly, but the seals in his hand became even more phantasmagoric.


    ��No need!��


    Amidst the blood flowers came Ye Yuan��s cold yell.


    A figure appeared. When everyone saw Ye Yuan, they could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.


    The clothes on Ye Yuan��s body were sliced into ribbons.


    Some exposed skin was flayed open and the flesh torn. It was a ghastly sight.


    Those with sharp eyes could even see that something seemed to be propagating in those flesh and blood, attempting to corrode them.


    Compared to Ye Yuan, there were actually only a scanty few wounds on the body of Feng Xiaotian, who was behind him!


    Very clearly, the vast majority of the attacks were blocked by Ye Yuan with his own body.


    ��Hahaha �� Really loyal to brothers! Feng Xiaotian is merely a dead man. But you��d rather receive the baptism of the God-Burying Flower yourself than be willing to let this dead person get injured? How touching! How �� stupid to the extreme!�� When Bloodpromise saw this scene, he could not help letting out a wild laugh.


    Ye Yuan��s actions were simply laughable to the extreme in his eyes.


    Carrying a dead man and saying that he wanted to fight side by side.


    Now, being in a disadvantageous position, he would rather suffer serious injuries than be willing to let a dead person suffer any bit of harm.


    Was this called loyalty?


    This was called stupidity!


    Ye Yuan looked at him and still said calmly, ��How can someone like you understand what genuine brotherhood love is?��


    Bloodpromise laughed loudly and said, ��I understand! Of course I understand! The so-called brotherhood love is to set off for the Yellow Springs together! Therefore, you can set off together with Feng Xiaotian! This seat will send you off!��


    A surge of explosive origin suddenly poured out wildly from Bloodpromise��s body.


    He was burning his life force!


    Above the void, the density of the God-Burying Flower became extremely terrifying, virtually covering the sky and blotting out the sun.


    Ye Yuan��s entire person was completely submerged!


    When everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed wildly!

 Chapter 3101 - Heaven Trampling Five Steps!

    Countless God-Burying Flowers was like a rain of blades, dense until it was impermeable.


    People could even see that inside that flower rain, space was being sliced into strips, being incomparably sharp.


    Everyone could tell that Ye Yuan was likely fraught with grim possibilities!


    ��This �� What to do about this?��


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye he actually died just like this?��


    ��Damn it! Kill Bloodpromise and avenge Heavenly Saint Ye!��


    �� . .


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses all went crazy.


    First was Feng Xiaotian dying in battle, then it was Ye Yuan being killed. They were already beyond furious.


    Countless powerhouses roared, charging over toward Bloodpromise.


    Over elsewhere, Yi Xue also calculated everything and let out a loud laugh, ��Mi Tian, you calculated everything and also didn��t calculate Bloodpromise��s strength, right? He repeatedly suffered defeat in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, but why was he still put in such an important position by us? However, this seat also didn��t expect that Ye Yuan actually took the road to ruin himself!��


    Mi Tian��s face revealed a sorrowful expression.


    He already completely could not feel Ye Yuan��s aura. Although he harbored a glimmer of hope in his heart, he knew that Ye Yuan was likely fraught with grim possibilities!


    Indeed as Yi Xue said, he underestimated Bloodpromise too much!


    ��Zhao Yue, let us kill him!��


    Mi Tian gave an angry roar, joining hands with Zhao Yue, rushing toward Yi Xue frenziedly.


    ��Hahaha ����


    Looking at the wildly surging God-Burying Flowers, Bloodpromise let out a delighted laugh.


    ��A fool who overestimates his own ability! So what if he broke through to chaos grade bloodline? So what if he has saint force? So what if he can jump realms and battle? In the end, didn��t he still die under this seat��s Illusionary Flowers Burying Gods? Ye Yuan, this seat admits that you��re very monstrous! But using this seat��s life to exchange for your life is worth it!��


    He knew that it would be impossible for him to escape his doom. But at this point, using his life to exchange for Ye Yuan��s life, it was really too worth it!


    Ye Yuan��s monstrousness could no longer be described in words.


    Once Ye Yuan died, all the heavens would no longer have an existence that could pose a threat to Progenitor anymore!


    Hegemon Samsara and Progenitor Heavenless similarly could not!


    As long as enough Blood Ward Beads were saved up, Progenitor would be able to come into being and break through the shackles that no one had ever broken through before, transcending the Great Beyond!


    Therefore, he was overjoyed!


    ��Lord Bloodpromise is mighty!��


    ��Lord Bloodpromise is our blood race��s number one meritorious official!��


    �� . .


    Far away, the blood race��s powerhouses were unbelievably invigorated.


    Killing Ye Yuan was even more important than winning this great battle.


    Dong!


    Just as they were happy, a loud noise came from above the void.


    The dense God-Burying Flowers collapsed with a loud bang!


    Originally, flying flowers drifted, natural and unrestrained.


    Now, fallen flowers lay strewn all over the footpaths, the sun setting in the west mountain!


    This sound came too suddenly, resulting in everyone not reacting in time.


    But, directly scattering the flying flowers all over the sky, this visual effect was too strong.


    However, this was just the prelude!


    Fine cracks actually appeared in the surrounding space.


    The entire void was like a broken mirror, cracks spreading out like cobwebs.


    Following that, the void trembled. Many Hegemon Realm powerhouses actually could not stand firm and fell one after another!


    Bloodpromise��s expression changed drastically, his figure swaying with uncertainty.


    Suddenly, a formidable force passed through space, directly transmitting onto his body.


    ��Pffft!��


    Bloodpromise spurted a mouthful of blood wildly, directly being blasted flying out.


    He was shocked to the extreme. Until now, he completely did not know where this attack came from!


    But he knew that this was absolutely Ye Yuan��s work!


    That sound not only interrupted his casting, making the God-Burying Flowers all over the sky directly crumble, it even seriously injured him!


    But what on earth did Ye Yuan do?


    At this point, he actually still had a trump card?


    The fragmented flowers dissipated; a figure emerged.


    When everyone saw him, their pupils constricted!


    Under Ye Yuan��s feet, fine cracks spread out. It was actually the center of all the cracks.


    His body was incomparably tragic, wounds and scars everywhere.


    However, Ye Yuan��s current imposing momentum was powerful to the extreme.


    This was a kind of momentum, like saber momentum or spear momentum, but it was not on the same level at all.


    Ye Yuan��s momentum was seemingly going to trample this blue sky to pieces!


    He was merely an Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    But, the tyrannical aura that was spilling from his body currently, it actually suppressed Mi Tian, Yi Xue, and the rest of the Great Beyond powerhouses.


    It was as if he was the only sovereign under this stretch of sky!


    ��What a strong momentum! I��ve never thought that momentum could actually be so strong! Could it be that this is his final trump card?�� Yi Xue��s pupils constricted as he said in shock.


    This move of Ye Yuan��s already exceeded his imagination.


    This move was unparalleled among his contemporaries!


    Although his cultivation realm was significantly higher than Ye Yuan, it was also impossible for him to unleash such a terrifying move even if he exerted all his strength!


    Fresh blood spurted wildly from Bloodpromise��s mouth, and he roared angrily, ��W-What move is this!��


    Ye Yuan looked at him and said coldly, ��Ever since gaining enlightenment on the Heaven volume, I had a new breakthrough in my understanding of Heavenly Dao again! Finally, I achieved mastery through a comprehensive study of my lifetime��s learning, and created this move: Heaven Trampling Five Steps! Just now, it was the first form: Trampling Mountains and Rivers with One Step, Quiet Extermination of All Things Like the Night! Now, I��ll let you witness the second form: Trampling the Eight Desolates with Two Steps, Inverting the Universe Myriad Extinction!��


    Ye Yuan did not talk nonsense, his foot slowly raising. His entire person��s imposing momentum actually rose to another level on top of the original basis!


    The firmament quivered!


    Crack!


    Crack!


    Crack!


    Terrifying tribulation clouds condensed and formed above the void.


    Seemingly issuing a warning with regards to Ye Yuan��s imposing momentum.


    Bloodpromise��s complexion was deathly pale. Under this imposing momentum, he could not give birth to any desire to resist at all.


    If Ye Yuan just now was the monarch who overlooked the world proudly.


    Then Ye Yuan now was the emperor who ruled all life!


    Everything had to submit under his feet!


    But, seeing the tribulation clouds, Bloodpromise seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw!


    ��Hahahaha �� Heaven trampling! Heaven trampling! You��re going against heaven and will not be tolerated by Heavenly Dao! No matter how strong this move of yours is, so what? Heavenly Dao �� won��t tolerate you!�� Bloodpromise pointed at Ye Yuan and said crazily.


    Ye Yuan looked at him like looking at an idiot and said coolly, ��I��m a divergent cultivator to begin with. What do I fear going against heaven! If Heavenly Dao doesn��t tolerate me, I��ll trample this Heavenly Dao underfoot!��


    In the next instant, Ye Yuan seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, stepping down!


    At this moment, that tiny body of Ye Yuan��s seemed to be as high as heaven and earth, akin to a celestial deity!


    Boom!


    The void trembled heavily!


    The surrounding space directly shattered!


    The void turbulent currents flooded in crazily.


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s mountain pass gates fell apart to pieces under his stomp!


    Extreme Medicine Sect��s various mountain peaks and ranges were leveled to the ground at this instant!


    The scariest thing was that the terrifying tribulation cloud was actually directly scattered under this stomp of Ye Yuan��s!


    Bloodpromise looked at this scene dumbfoundedly, already forgetting his shock.


    What did he see?


    That tribulation cloud could easily exterminate a Peak Hegemon!


    But, under this stomp of Ye Yuan��s, it actually did not even have strength left to retaliate.


    Could it be that Ye Yuan had already reached a state above Heavenly Dao?


    But very soon, he felt at ease.


    A force that was even more terrifying than earlier, transmitted over from god knows where.


    His body was directly reduced to nothingness under this force!


    Ye Yuan put Feng Xiaotian down, his expression somber as he said, ��Brother Feng, I��ve avenged your enmity toward Bloodpromise on your behalf!��

 Chapter 3102 - Pivotal Point of Life and Death!

    Silence all around!


    Everyone��s faces revealed a look of extreme shock.


    The powerful Hegemon Bloodpromise was actually directly annihilated under Ye Yuan��s stomp!


    Looking at the Ye Yuan standing in the sky, the blood race powerhouses all felt a shudder, including Yi Xue!


    In that moment just now, the feeling that Ye Yuan gave people was invincibility, that he could not be defeated!


    The powerful tribulation cloud actually took the initiative to retreat. It could be seen how terrifying he was!


    ��This �� What move is this? Why do I feel like Heavenly Dao had descended?��


    ��Lord Bloodpromise actually died. He didn��t even have the chance to revive!��


    ��What a terrifying move! This move had already surpassed the domain of a divine ability! Most likely, it��s simply impossible for Great Beyond Realm ancestors to create it too!��


    �� . .


    Ye Yuan said that this was the strongest move that he created after he achieved mastery through a comprehensive study of what he learned.


    But the power of this move already exceeded their understanding.


    Therefore, they were alarmed and scared!


    Heaven Trampling Five Steps, it was Ye Yuan��s epitome work.


    Visualizing the Heaven volume, other people��s strengths could all advance by leaps and bounds. Hence, it was naturally impossible for Ye Yuan to march on the spot.


    As the most important volume of the 12 Heavenly Dao Paintings, the Heaven volume was actually the general interpretation of Great Dao.


    After Ye Yuan visualized it, he had a feeling of suddenly connecting things together.


    Alchemy Dao, Formation Dao, Sword Dao, as well as his origin Great Daos, everything and everything, all merged together into an organic whole under the Heaven volume.


    Heaven Trampling Five Steps, it was born in response!


    Reaching Ye Yuan��s current realm, he could already vaguely sense breaking through to Hegemon Realm, this pivotal point of life and death.


    This battle was the battle that would determine his fate!


    The battle with Heavenly Dao would be the most terrifying battle in his life.


    In comparison, Progenitor Bloodstone, Ancestor Heavenless, so on and so forth, they were nothing.


    And the Heaven Trampling Five Steps also represented his determination to trample Heavenly Dao!


    This move was unleashed with momentum. It was different from all martial techniques.


    But the power was incredible.


    However, although the power was great, the sequela was similarly great!


    After using this move, same as the ultimate moves of Chi Shang, Meng Jin, and the rest, his entire person would collapse.


    Of course, this was not the most important thing.


    The most important thing was that, after using this move, he could clearly feel the backlash of Heavenly Dao!


    This move was a demonstration of power to Heavenly Dao. How could Heavenly Dao possibly be aloof and indifferent?


    These were just the common tribulation clouds. It was very easy to resolve. But, in the final battle, it would be absolutely impossible to overcome it so easily.


    Ye Yuan could even feel that the final Dao tribulation was currently brewing.


    Such as now, Ye Yuan could distinctly feel that the Dao tribulation was getting closer and closer.


    Utilizing this move was inducing the final Dao tribulation.


    If the Dao tribulation descended in advance, with his current strength, he did not have the power to resist at all.


    Therefore, this move could not be used easily.


    Using it was tantamount to slow suicide!


    But, for Feng Xiaotian��s sake, Ye Yuan used it without the slightest hesitation!


    Of course, with Ye Yuan��s current strength, it was not enough to take the third step at all, let alone talk about the fifth step.


    Forcibly taking the steps, without waiting for the Dao tribulation to descend, his own physical body would not be able to withstand it.


    This move was too brutal!


    ��Kill! Leave none behind!��


    Ye Yuan yelled angrily. All the general obeyed the order, charging towards the blood race��s remnants.


    For some time, a whirlwind swept away the last clouds!


    After repeated fierce battles, Yi Xue was already seriously injured.


    He was burning with anxiety in his heart, wanting to get away. But Mi Tian and Zhao Yue tied him down fiercely. He could not escape at all.


    Just a moment ago, he never thought that he would actually fall here!


    But now, he was a little alarmed and frightened in his heart!


    Ye Yuan��s appearance not only let Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven make a great comeback, it even had the intention of completely annihilating the enemies that came to invade.


    Suddenly, Mi Tian gave a cold laugh and said, ��You��re scared!��


    During this great battle that lasted for three days and nights, Mi Tian was really aggrieved to the extreme.


    With concern in his heart, he could not unleash his strongest combat power at all.


    Clearly, Yi Xue had calculated all these.


    But Ye Yuan��s appearance completely erupted the grievance that accumulated in his heart for three days.


    Before this, how overweeningly arrogant was Yi Xue?


    But now, he was like a dog that lost its home!


    Yi Xue was being entangled by Mi Tian. Zhao Yue��s blow struck him hard in the chest.


    Pffft!


    Yi Xue��s chest was directly smashed through.


    However, his wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    It was just that the speed was much slower than before.


    Zhao Yue did not know fatigue at all. No matter how many times the opponent recovered, Zhao Yue would have the patience to continue destroying him.


    ��You think that you all have won?�� Yi Xue smiled coldly as he returned fire.


    ��At least for this battle, we��ve won!�� Mi Tian said.


    ��You can��t imagine Progenitor��s strength at all! He��s only one last step away from Great Beyond. Reaching our level of boundary, you should know what that means. Ye Yuan��s strength is decent, but just now, you should have sensed something too, right?�� Yi Xue smiled coldly.


    Ye Yuan��s Heaven Trampling Five Steps let him feel a kind of throbbing that came from the soul.


    He had never felt this kind of throbbing before.


    That was the fury of Heavenly Dao!


    The fury of Heavenly Dao was hidden above the ninth heaven!


    Reaching their level, their perception was naturally not what ordinary people could compare to.


    The moment these words came out, Mi Tian��s expression turned cold.


    Clearly, he felt it too.


    ��Haha, looks like you��ve felt it too! Tell me, can he really break through the shackles that no one since ancient antiquity has broken?�� Yi Xue was covered all over in blood but said with a wild laugh.


    ��Under Heavenly Dao, all are ants! This ancestor also really wants to see just what kind of scale this unprecedented Dao Tribulation will be!��


    ��Heaven Trampling Five Steps, whether it will be you trampling on heaven or you being trampled underfoot by Heavenly Dao! This ancestor will really be waiting anxiously to see!��


    ��Mi Tian, even if you kill me, your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven can��t escape the fate of being destroyed too! After Progenitor comes into being, your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven won��t have a single fowl or dog remaining!��


    The current Yi Xue was at the end of his rope, but his words were akin to a clap of thunder, exploding in everyone��s ears.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses were shocked. They did not know what Mi Tian and Yi Xue felt.


    But without a doubt, what Ye Yuan would be facing, was an unprecedented great calamity!


    Mi Tian frowned hard and said in a solemn voice, ��You talk too much! You can go and die already! Zhao Yue, do it!��


    Finished saying, saint force surged on the two people��s bodies, already preparing to launch a shocking blow.


    But Yi Xue was not afraid and said with a loud laugh, ��Come on! Bring it on! My strength will eventually return to Progenitor��s body. He��ll bring me to watch your Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven be destroyed!��


    Rumble!


    Two formidable forces fell with a loud bang.


    Yi Xue had already given up resisting. He knew that he could not escape anymore.


    Right at this time, a blood-colored barrier suddenly appeared above the void, completely covering Yi Xue.


    Boom!


    The void trembled heavily; that blood-colored barrier was actually as stable as Mount Tai!


    ��Let��s go!��


    A voice came from within the void.


    Yi Xue was overjoyed when he heard and said, ��Many thanks, Progenitor, for saving me! Hahaha, Mi Tian, I��ll watch you die without a burial ground with my own eyes!��


    Finished saying, he tore apart space and directly escaped.

 Chapter 3103 - Chaos Heavenly Spirit List!

    ��Won! We �� We won!��


    ��Really didn��t expect that we could actually still survive! Sniff sniff ����


    ��Heavenly Saint Ye will live for generations to come and be invincible under the heavens!��


    �� . .


    After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted in front of the Extreme Medicine Sect��s mountain pass gates.


    This victory that was not easy to come by made many people weep with great joy.


    Some people fell into wild ecstasy.


    Some cried, some laughed, some were inspired, and some were dispirited.


    A myriad of emotions exploded completely under the joy of surviving a calamity.


    Ye Yuan looked at them but could not be happy no matter what.


    This battle was too tragic!


    Many people that he knew had already perished, their Dao dissipating. He could no longer see their figures, especially Feng Xiaotian.


    After the wild ecstasy, the people gradually calmed down.


    Ye Yuan made a hand gesture. The whole place was silent.


    The current Ye Yuan was already a god-like existence in everyone��s hearts.


    Ye Yuan said loudly, ��Brother Feng��s battles shattered the firmament throughout his life, only to protect the Dao in his heart! Although dead, it��s glorious! Today, he��ll be canonized as a god of war, and a statue will be established here to be admired by all generations! He is everlasting! Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang followed the triumph. Their contributions are unparalleled. They will be conferred as the left and right protector celestial deities! Do you all have any objections?��


    Everyone was respectful and said in unison, ��We have no objections!��


    If someone whose status was second only to Ye Yuan, that was bound to be Feng Xiaotian.


    Although the god of war was dead, his power and influence did not drop!


    Feng Xiaotian used his Dao to make everyone admire him endlessly.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan conferred him as the god of war. The others did not have any refusal on this.


    Swoosh!


    Seven streams of flowing light flew out of Ye Yuan��s body and landed on the ground with a bang, turning into seven giant mountains!


    These seven enormous mountains were naturally the Myriad Realms Mountains.


    Seven giant mountains, the heights were different.


    Three of them had uneven heights, but the other four were the same height.


    When everyone saw the situation, they were uncertain about this, but then they heard Ye Yuan speaking. He said, ��From now on, the Myriad Realms Mountain will have the name changed to Chaos Heavenly Spirit List, divided into heaven, earth, mystic, and yellow, these four lists. They will be situated here forever! I��ll engrave the fallen souls on it, recording their contributions for people to pay homage to them! From now on, those who rendered great contributions to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven can all get on the list and be worshiped by everyone! Those who offend the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List will be exterminated!��


    Finished saying, Ye Yuan took a drop of fresh blood from Feng Xiaotian��s body and flew to the highest peak.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Sword intent crisscrossed, Ye Yuan engraved Feng Xiaotian��s name on the highest level of the heaven list.


    ��Feng Xiaotian,�� these three large gilded characters, appeared in the most eye-catching position very soon.


    These three words actually had a soul-stirring feeling.


    It was as if Feng Xiaotian had revived on the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List!


    Following that, Ye Yuan engraved Zhou Zicang and Song Mingjiang��s names on the heaven list.


    Ye Yuan was very patient, carving one name after another on the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List.


    These people were all people that he had once known. But now, they were already separated by life and death.


    The reason why Ye Yuan took this action was that he was inspired by the Extreme Light Pavilion.


    Ye Yuan valued relationships. He did not hope for these heroic spirits, who shed their blood and laid down their lives, to be forgotten by people along with time.


    Therefore, he would rather abandon the Myriad Realms Mountain, this chaos heavenly treasure that had just been successfully refined. He had to do something.


    Ye Yuan��s engraved very seriously. Each stroke and each line, they showed his seriousness.


    Everyone looked at him with respectful faces.


    Many people��s faces had their eyes brimmed over with hot tears.


    The names that Ye Yuan engraved, many of them were comrades who had once fought shoulder to shoulder with them.


    When the names were engraved, it was as if they felt that that person had not gone far away yet.


    But, what shocked them even more, was that Ye Yuan actually knew so many people!


    Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm was not high, he possessed a paramount position in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Even those whose strength reached Hegemon Realm might not be able to enter his eyes too.


    They naturally would not extravagantly hope that Ye Yuan could remember their names.


    But only at this time did they understand that Ye Yuan was actually very familiar with everyone. It was as if he was enumerating his family��s valuables!


    ��I really didn��t expect that Heavenly Saint Ye is actually so observant about the feelings of the masses!��


    ��Wang Dong and Li Xian and the few of us, we were just very unremarkable few people who followed Heavenly Saint Ye in the Labyrinth Divine Palace back then. Didn��t expect that he actually remembered us all!��


    ��In terms of contributions, no one��s contribution is greater than Heavenly Saint Ye��s! But he abandoned a chaos heavenly treasure and actually gave all the credit to others! He really is �� a man of great talent and virtue!��


    ��Take care, brothers! You guys, rest assured. Your Father definitely won��t taint everyone��s awe-inspiring reputations! I only hope that one day, Your Father can enter the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List too!��


    �� . .


    Seeing Ye Yuan like this, everyone felt inexplicably touched.


    Nearly ten thousand people entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace together with Ye Yuan back then.


    Those who stood out among the rest and stepped into Hegemon Realm were just the minority after all.


    But they did not expect that Ye Yuan actually even remembered those unremarkable people clearly.


    This sort of thing, they believed that no leader in the 33 Heavens could do this!


    What did this show?


    This showed that Ye Yuan would not look down on anyone!


    The achievements of a general were built on the dead bodies of countless soldiers. To the leaders, those weaklings were only the stepping stones on their path to corroborate their Dao.


    No leader would take them seriously.


    This was unless you were outstanding enough.


    But Ye Yuan was different. He treated everyone equally.


    Whether or not you were outstanding or mediocre, he would not look down on you.


    These names were clear proof!


    Forget about others; just talking about Mi Tian, could he even name the Dragon Clan��s Emperor Sakra Heaven powerhouses?


    Impossible!


    To Mi Tian, the level difference for Emperor Sakra Heaven was too great!


    Mi Tian arrived next to Cloudmount and said with a sigh, ��This boy, how does he not make people be ground to pieces for his sake? Following him, there will be no regrets in death too! I think that Feng Xiaotian thinks so too, right?��


    Cloudmount nodded his head seriously and said, ��What this old man is proudest of in this life is accepting this disciple! Lord Mi Tian, what on earth did you sense just now?��


    Mi Tian��s expression flickered and he said with a sigh, ��Heavenly Dao��s hidden anger. Ye Yuan��s tribulation of Hegemon will likely surpass everyone��s imaginations! Although he��s monstrous, but ����


    But what Mi Tian did not say caused Cloudmount��s expression to become very ugly.


    Very clearly, Mi Tian was very pessimistic about Ye Yuan.


    The present Ye Yuan was able to kill the Peak Hegemon Bloodpromise with the Heaven Trampling Five Steps. It could be seen how monstrous he was.


    But, even such a person like Ye Yuan, Mi Tian did not find it optimistic. What did this mean?


    Cloudmount said worriedly, ��What in the world will happen?��


    Mi Tian shook his head and said, ��The more one reaches my level of realm, the more one feels that Heavenly Dao is fleeting and ephemeral. Yi Xue and I merely sensed something, that��s all. Just how his tribulation of Hegemon will be like, nobody knows. This is because there has never been a divergent cultivator who has achieved Ye Yuan��s strength! Even Heaven is envious of his strength! However, the hidden anger of Heavenly Dao struck deep terror into me. If Heavenly Dao punishes me, I��m afraid that �� I won��t have the slightest strength to fight back! Ye Yuan��s tribulation of Hegemon is likely fraught with grim possibilities!��


    Cloudmount��s heart sank to rock-bottom. This piece of news was really terrible!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Ye Yuan was still carving names with each stroke and line.


    But, from far away, Zhuo Bufan��s pupils constricted. He felt that the aura on Ye Yuan��s body changed!

 Chapter 3104 - Defying Heaven and Changing Fate!

    Ye Yuan��s pen expressed dragons and snakes, sword intent crisscrossing.


    Each stroke and each line did not reveal a sharp edge but faintly contained an infinite amount of power.


    He had never seen before this kind of sword intent.


    Zhuo Bufan immersed himself in Sword Dao his entire life. What he pursued was the extremity of strength.


    No matter how strong you were, I would break through with just one sword.


    Therefore, he accumulated for many years in Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm, splitting apart the road of life and death with one sword, directly reaching Supreme Hegemon, stunning the entire 33 Heavens.


    But Ye Yuan��s sword intent currently was completely different from his understanding of the sword.


    What Ye Yuan pursued did not seem to be the extremity of power but something else.


    But this did not mean that Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao was not strong.


    On the contrary, Zhuo Bufan felt that Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao was extremely powerful!


    All of the power was hidden within his strokes.


    ��Bufan, have you understood Ye Yuan��s sword?�� Mi Tian asked.


    Clearly, he discovered it too.


    Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said, ��I don��t understand at all! This Zhuo has comprehended on the sword all my life. I only seek to be uninhibited! His sword intent is getting stronger and stronger, but it doesn��t have killing intent. It��s as if all of the concepts are sealed in the brush strokes. With his close friend��s death, carving the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List, it��s originally something of great sorrow. But there��s no sadness in his sword intent. On the contrary, it has the feeling of solemness instead! I don��t quite understand. If he��s sealing the sword intent, then what��s the use of gaining enlightenment on the sword?��


    Mi Tian frowned. Clearly, he did not understand it either.


    His feeling was not as clear as Zhuo Bufan��s. But, with his realm, he was naturally able to understand many things too.


    It was just that. He also could not understand what on earth Ye Yuan comprehended.


    However, Ye Yuan��s sword intent grew stronger and stronger. A tremendous power seemed to be contained in the entire Chaos Heavenly Spirit List.


    The current Chaos Heavenly Spirit List was like a bomb that was growing larger and larger in tonnage. The feeling that it gave people was extremely dangerous.


    But somehow, under this power, everyone from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven felt a sense of security.


    This kind of feeling was very conflicting, and yet it was so real.


    No idea how long had passed either, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List��s aura suddenly changed. It actually gave off rays of golden light halo.


    This light halo spread out, submerging into the void.


    ��Mn? What is this?��


    ��The Chaos Heavenly Spirit List seems to be different!��


    ��You guys, quickly look! The broken space seems to be repairing! This light halo is restoring Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    �� . .


    This great battle involved a thousand hegemon realm powerhouses. It could be seen how shocking the destructive power was.


    Back then, the Labyrinth Divine Palace��s battle, fighting until a world fell apart to pieces was also normal.


    The current Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was virtually fought until it crumbled to pieces.


    This kind of plane was no longer suitable for cultivation.


    Of course, the Eternal River flowed, and Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would slowly recover. But this time would be very long.


    But currently, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s space was actually being repaired quickly.


    Large amounts of Eternal River chaos poured into Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. It was as if receiving some kind of guidance.


    Zhuo Bufan looked at this scene wide-eyed and was tongue-tied. He then said in shock, ��Just what did he comprehend to actually be able to have such a wonderful effect? Sword Dao cutting edge is mainly for killing! I��ve never thought that it would actually have this kind of restoration effect �� It��s too inconceivable!��


    Mi Tian was also greatly surprised and said, ��This old man was born from heaven and earth. How many heroes and peerless heaven��s chosen have I seen before? I��ve long already become used to it. Today, I really broadened my horizons! This boy actually remolded Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven with Sword Dao as a guide! However, this isn��t his own power. Only now did this old man know that some people died, but they are still living in this world!��


    Zhuo Bufan��s eyes were full of respect and emotion. He said with a nod, ��Everyone says that Hegemons live forever, but how many can really live forever? The fleshy body is easy to decay, but the spirit can live forever! Their cultivation realms might not be high, and their strength might not be great, but their spirit and willpower will endure forever with Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!��


    Mi Tian drew a deep breath and said, ��I really don��t know how this kid thinks to actually come up with this Chaos Heavenly Spirit List. Perhaps in the future, it will become an extremely terrifying treasure!��


    Abandoning a chaos heavenly treasure, furthermore, it was the Myriad Realms Mountain, this kind of top-grade chaos heavenly treasure. Not everyone had this boldness.


    With the Myriad Realms Mountain in hand, Ye Yuan��s combat power would rise to a new high!


    But he gave it up resolutely for the sake of Feng Xiaotian and the others, these heroic people who died in battle.


    But looking at it now, Ye Yuan��s abandonment was the right choice!


    Zhuo Bufan nodded and said, ��Willingness to part; only by giving up can one attain something! But, among humans, how many have such resolve to abandon the most important thing to them?��


    ��It��s them! It��s really them! They are not dead yet!��


    ��A-Ahh, I seem to have heard that they want to fight side by side with us!��


    ��Yeah, the danger of the blood race isn��t eliminated yet. Why would these guys be willing to die just like this? Brothers, we��ll continue fighting side by side!��


    �� . .


    The powerhouses present also felt a familiar aura.


    The intent emitting from the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List was currently reverberating between this heaven and earth.


    Many people even had their eyes brimmed over with hot tears.


    Was death the end point?


    No!


    They would rather die to protect this hot soil!


    This was their home. No one was allowed to encroach upon it!


    One day, two days, a month!


    Boom!


    People seemed to have felt the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven tremble a bit.


    Space was completely consolidated!


    But it was not over yet!


    The light halos emitting from the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List got stronger and stronger. It was actually strengthening the space.


    Mi Tian��s pupils constricted slightly, and he said, ��You guys noticed it?��


    Cloudmount, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest nodded one by one.


    Mi Tian said, ��These golden light halos are actually reinforcing outside the boundary wall! Furthermore, it��s not just one layer! At this rate, not only will Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s space become incomparably stable, the heaven and earth spiritual energy retained will reach a terrifying level! Perhaps, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven will become the highest level plane of the 33 Heavens!��


    This one sentence from Mi Tian was earth-shattering!


    The 33 Heavens, the heaven and earth spiritual energy in all the heavens would reach a delicate balance.


    A low-level plane such as Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven could not retain more heaven and earth spiritual energy at all.


    Therefore, it was a low-level plane.


    And a high-level plane like Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven, the space was extremely stable. The heaven and earth spiritual energy retained was also abundant.


    Only an abundance of heaven and earth spiritual energy would give birth to more Hegemon Realms, and only then would the strength of the plane get stronger!


    Hence, that was why the four great true spirit clans would regard themselves as superior to others.


    It was not without basis that they called themselves a high-level race.


    It was just that the superiority of planes could not be transferred by outside force at all.


    Even if your strength could access heaven and penetrate the earth, it could not change the attribute of the plane too.


    But at this time, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s space grew more and more stable. Most likely, it would jump up and surpass Voidshrine Illuminating Heaven!


    No one thought that Ye Yuan creating the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List would actually produce such a miraculous effect.


    Defying heaven and changing fate was also nothing more than this!


    Zhuo Bufan��s pupils constricted, and he said, ��I think I understand!��

 Chapter 3105 - Fated Battle!

    Everyone��s gazes looked toward Zhuo Bufan.


    Clearly, they were all curious about how Ye Yuan did it.


    Zhuo Bufan did not explain right away, but the sword intent in his body surged to the sky!


    Mi Tian��s gaze flickered, and he said, ��This guy is finally going to have a battle with Ye Yuan! I didn��t expect that this day would come so quickly!��


    Everyone was in shock. Hegemon Bufan was actually going to have a battle with Heavenly Saint Ye?


    Zhuo Bufan was a Supreme Hegemon!


    ��Got to be kidding! Although Heavenly Saint Ye is formidable, it��s also impossible to be Hegemon Bufan��s match, right?��


    ��What��s Hegemon Bufan trying to do? Bully people?��


    ��They are clearly going to determine the victor with Sword Dao. But Hegemon Bufan��s Sword Dao also belongs to an extremely strong existence among Supreme Hegemons! This is clearly bullying people!


    �� . .


    Many people revealed indignant looks. Clearly, they did not understand why Zhuo Bufan was challenging Ye Yuan at this time.


    If Ye Yuan had used the Heaven Trampling Five Steps, he might not be unable to have a battle with Zhuo Bufan.


    But clearly, Ye Yuan would not use it.


    No matter how strong Ye Yuan��s Sword Dao was, his cultivation realm was not there yet after all. It was simply impossible to be Zhuo Bufan��s match.


    Regarding everyone��s questioning, Zhuo Bufan clearly ignored it.


    But Mi Tian said, ��You haven��t said it. What did you understand?��


    Zhuo Bufan��s gaze was slightly intent as he said, ��Ye Yuan��s sword is the sword of guarding! I won��t offend people unless I��m offended! If people offend me, I��ll surely cut them down with the sword! His sword is only drawn to protect people; hence, that was why he sealed his sword intent! But, once enemies came to invade, his sword��s sharp edge would definitely be unsheathed!��


    Mi Tian said with a sudden realization, ��So that��s how it is! Therefore, his sword intent spurred the thoughts of the people who had died, sealing their wills in the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List! Countless people��s will, setting Great Dao into motion too; that��s why it caused such a huge commotion. It was letting Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven defy heaven and change its fate! Because this place here is precisely the soil that they used their lives to protect!��


    Zhuo Bufan nodded slightly. Clearly, Mi Tian��s words hit the mark!


    Cultivators were powerful. The thoughts of people who had just died would not dissipate into heaven and earth.


    Therefore, Ye Yuan spurred those thoughts with sword intent to protect Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven together!


    Zhuo Bufan said, ��He��s going to break through! The battle between us is finally coming!�� His gaze flickered.


    Before his voice faded, Ye Yuan��s brush stroke fell heavily, finishing the last name!


    Following that, the aura on his body rose rapidly!


    In remolding Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List pulled in large amounts of Eternal River chaos. It was perfect for Ye Yuan��s breakthrough.


    Boom!


    Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm directly reached grand completion Emperor Sakra Heaven!


    Arriving here, it abruptly stopped!


    His cultivation realm could no longer rise further.


    The next step would be to confront that terrifying Dao tribulation!


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said, ��Have I finally come this far?��


    ��Ye Yuan, come and fight!�� Right then, a voice sounded out.


    Ye Yuan looked over and said with a smile, ��Brother Zhuo, our battle has finally come!��


    Zhuo Bufan said, ��This Zhuo cultivates the sword. It��s only to seek to have a clear conscience! But Honorable Brother Ye cultivates the sword to protect all life under heaven! I��m inferior!��


    Ye Yuan shook his head and said, ��Dao is just the means. The key lies in the heart! Brother Zhuo overcame the raging tides with your power alone. It��s similarly protecting all life under the heavens! It��s just that the means are different, that��s all! Brother Zhuo doesn��t have to be modest!��


    Zhuo Bufan��s gaze flickered, seemingly somewhat comprehending.


    Ye Yuan leaped up and faced Zhuo Bufan from afar and said smilingly, ��Come on! I��ve looked forward to this battle for a long time already!��


    Zhuo Bufan laughed loudly and said, ��Haha, come and fight!��


    After he was done talking, a sword emerged. Everyone was shocked!


    Zhuo Bufan��s sword pressed forward indomitably, the power formidable until it made people give birth to fear in their hearts.


    This sword revealed its sharp edge. Coupled with his Supreme Hegemon strength, it made many people��s expressions change.


    They all looked at Ye Yuan worriedly, somewhat doubting whether or not he could block this sword.


    After all, the gap between the two people��s realms was seriously too great!


    Bloodpromise was the blood race��s genius, but Zhuo Bufan was an unrivaled human race genius!


    One sword breaking through three realms, this was absolutely not what the average genius could achieve.


    ��Bring it on!��


    Ye Yuan howled, sword intent similarly surging on his body.


    It was only to see him tap the void, and saint force poured out crazily. It actually formed a round shield!


    Zhuo Bufan��s pupils constricted, and he cried out in shock, ��The sword has no constant form! It looks like you��ve really had a grand awakening!��


    This buckler looked like it was completely unrelated to the sword.


    But Zhuo Bufan was immersed in Sword Dao all his life. So how could he not understand that this buckler was totally a sword!


    No one stipulated that the sword must be a sword.


    Water had a variety of forms; soldiers had no fixed formation!


    Everything came from the heart!


    What Zhuo Bufan��s sword heart pursued was this Dao!


    But he had not taken this step yet.


    When he took this step, he would be able to break through to Great Beyond Realm.


    This showed that Ye Yuan had actually already surpassed Zhuo Bufan in Sword Dao origin!


    Boom!


    The buckler collapsed with a loud bang. Ye Yuan was sent flying too, but he was fine.


    ��Sword, come!��


    Ye Yuan��s saint force spat wildly and actually directly condensed into a sword, counterattacking Zhuo Bufan.


    Zhuo Bufan raised his sword to block and resolved it easily!


    Above the void, two kinds of sword intents were crisscrossing, going back and forth.


    Emperor Sakra Heaven and Supreme Hegemon were actually locked in a struggle!


    From below came a series of exclamations.


    ��How formidable! A-Actually fought to a draw!��


    ��How is this possible? Heavenly Saint Ye just broke through a minor realm, and he��s actually able to stand up to a Supreme Hegemon as an equal already!��


    ��Hegemon Realm is really monstrous! If he breaks through to Hegemon Realm, he should be able to have the power to contend with the blood race��s Progenitor!��


    �� . .


    Only then did they understand why Zhuo Bufan wanted to challenge Ye Yuan.


    If he still did not challenge, Zhuo Bufan would never have the chance anymore!


    The current Ye Yuan already had the capital to fight with Supreme Hegemons.


    If Ye Yuan could break through to the realm of Hegemon, Zhuo Bufan would completely not be Ye Yuan��s match anymore.


    At that time, what would be the point of fighting?


    ��Motherf*cker, the gap between I, Hegemon Azuresky, and this guy is getting bigger and bigger! When can I challenge him again?�� In the crowd, Yang Qing could not resist cursing.


    Breaking through to Hegemon Realm, he originally thought that he could suppress Ye Yuan.


    Who knew that Ye Yuan��s combat power could actually rival Peak Hegemons already!


    Now, Ye Yuan could even have a fight with a Supreme Hegemon!


    Furthermore, it was even a top powerhouse like Zhuo Bufan.


    Although he was bold, he had a sense of powerlessness when facing Ye Yuan too.


    Some people, no matter how hard you worked, you were unable to surpass them too!


    Feng Qingxuan looked at him disdainfully and said, ��It��s impossible for you to surpass Ye Yuan in this lifetime!��


    Yang Qing said unhappily, ��Don��t you forget. It��s a huge hurdle for this guy to break through to Hegemon Realm! He absolutely won��t dare to break through to Hegemon Realm within a short time! Therefore, this is my best time to surpass him!��


    Feng Qingxuan��s beautiful eyes flickered, but she fell silent, her face revealing a look of worry.


    What Mi Tian and Yi Xue felt previously made her somewhat worried.


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Dong!


    Everyone only saw two afterimages fighting soul-stirringly above the void.


    Suddenly, the two people separated upon contact.


    This great battle abruptly stopped!


    It was only to see Zhuo Bufan��s both eyes tightly shut, the sword intent on his body growing stronger and stronger, virtually going to shatter the firmament!


    Behind him, the Door of Eternal Life appeared.


    Mi Tian stroked his beard and said, ��Not bad, not bad! Our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is going to have one more Great Beyond powerhouse!��

 Chapter 3106 - Young Master Is Remarkable!

    Whoosh!


    A sword lacerated the sky, only to hear a rumble.


    A tiny gap slowly opened in the Door of Eternal Life, unbelievably powerful saint force poured into Zhuo Bufan��s body.


    Saint force flooding the body, Zhuo Bufan��s aura became even more fleeting and ephemeral.


    He stood there as if representing Heaven.


    Every movement and action was Dao accumulation!


    This was Great Beyond!


    ��Zhuo Bufan is really hair-raisingly strong! He knocked open the Door of Eternal Life with just a sword!��


    ��One sword breaking through three realms back then, now, one sword knocking open eternal life! Hegemon Bufan is really god-like!��


    ��If not for being born in wrong times, Hegemon Bufan would definitely be able to reach blood race Progenitor��s realm. A pity, a pity!��


    �� . .


    Zhuo Bufan knocked open the Door of Eternal Life with just a sword, ascending to the realm of Great Beyond.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven burst into an uproar again.


    Great Beyond Realm, it was hard for one to emerge in 100 thousand years too!


    Although Supreme Hegemons broke through three seals, their strength formidable to the extreme, knocking open the Door of Eternal Life was even harder than breaking the three seals combined!


    Great Beyond powerhouses were far too few.


    The former Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven did not even have a single Supreme Hegemon. It could be seen how rare Great Beyond powerhouses were.


    The present Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven had six mighty Great Beyond powerhouses, but these six people were all of the true spirit race.


    With Zhuo Bufan breaking through, this was Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s first Great Beyond powerhouse in the true sense, with an extraordinary significance.


    Putting away the Door of Eternal Life, the disposition on Zhuo Bufan��s body underwent a huge change.


    The current him seemed like a sword standing proudly in heaven and earth, giving people an extremely powerful feeling.


    It was only to see his figure drift, arriving in front of Ye Yuan.


    ��I lost!��


    No one expected that the first sentence after Zhuo Bufan broke through to Great Beyond Realm was actually to concede defeat!


    Everyone was extremely shocked, because in that battle just now, it was clearly Zhuo Bufan who won by half a move before having a grand awakening.


    Now, how did it become him admitting defeat?


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��You and I both held a trick in reserve. Why talk about admitting defeat?��


    Zhuo Bufan had a serious look and shook his head. He said, ��A sword of protection won��t be drawn toward your own people! But just now, you and I were both at the pinnacle; just half a step away from the final sword. I faintly felt the power of your sword of protection! This half a year of sword engraving, you��re the one who had a grand awakening!��


    Ye Yuan chuckled and said, ��Since you know that my sword won��t attack my own people, then what��s the point of determining a victor? You are you; I am me. Our Dao is different!��


    Zhuo Bufan was taken aback and said with a nod, ��Indeed, it was me who valued victory too much! Ye Yuan, what should we do next?��


    Ye Yuan sighed slightly, his gaze looking into the distance as he said, ��Progenitor Bloodstone��s recovery speed far exceeds my expectations! Now, not only is his strength fully recovered, his strength improved a step further. In less than three years, he��ll definitely come into being! In the struggle of the three great progenitors, it will likely still be him who wins!��


    When these words came out, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    Three years were too short!


    The current Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven was moving towards prosperity, but it had not completely grown up yet after all.


    What they needed was time!


    Mi Tian said, ��I exchanged blows with him earlier and felt that he was unfathomable! Once Progenitor Bloodstone comes into being, I probably won��t even have the strength to fight back!��


    Everyone��s heart shook again. Even Mi Tian acknowledged his superiority, which was equivalent to saying that they were already waiting for death!


    No matter how many Great Beyond powerhouses, it was useless too!


    In an instant, a haze enveloped everyone.


    The joy of victory was also swept clean.


    Ye Yuan said, ��Senior Mi Tian, Brother Zhuo, you guys bring 800 bloodline warrior brothers to go and rush to the rescue of all the heavens, however many you can save counts. But remember, don��t go too deep in. Although we��re very strong, the blood race has more powerhouses! Once they group together somewhere, we won��t be a match either!��


    Mi Tian said, ��But this old man can��t command Zhao Yue them all!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Relax, I had some comprehension in the Bloodcloud Grand Array and should be able to help them recover their original appearance.��


    Mi Tian raised his brows and said in pleasant surprise, ��That��s great!��


    Zhuo Bufan said, ��What about you?��


    Ye Yuan said somberly, ��After I treat them, I��ll start my closed-seclusion and prepare to assault Hegemon Realm!��


    Mi Tian��s expression changed, and he said, ��Do you �� have confidence?��


    Ye Yuan shook his head.


    Zhuo Bufan said, ��You��re our last hope! As long as you break through to Hegemon Realm, only then will there be hope of fighting with Progenitor Bloodstone! If you die, everything is over! You have to be careful in �� overcoming the tribulation!��


    Ye Yuan said solemnly, ��Time doesn��t wait for me! I have a trace of Progenitor Bloodstone��s origin and can barely manage to sense his power. He��s currently much stronger compared to during the Labyrinth Divine Palace! Once he comes into being, it will likely be when he has completely transcended the Great Beyond! At that time, even if I break through to Hegemon Realm by a fluke, I also won��t have full assurance of winning against him! Do what we can, and we leave it up to fate then!��


    Everyone was tongue-tied, all looking at each other, revealing a look of dismal.


    �� . .


    The war started again. Mi Tian led the army and moved out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    In front of the troops, eight mighty Great Beyond powerhouses were standing shoulder to shoulder. It was a shocking line-up!


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses all felt like they were dreaming.


    Eight mighty Great Beyond powerhouses, this was simply unimaginable in the past.


    But Ye Yuan created this grand occasion with his own hands!


    ��What do you think, Zhao Yue?�� Mi Tian asked Zhao Yue.


    The current Zhao Yue, his body was big and tall, and his gaze was firm. He was no longer of that wild beast appearance.


    There was nothing in this world that could not be refined!


    Ye Yuan matched the blood race��s blood essence with the chaos heavenly medicines that he acquired in the Labyrinth Divine Palace. He then refined a chaos heavenly pill, finally curing Zhao Yue.


    At present, he had already recovered his intellect and became the commander-in-chief of the 800 bloodline Hegemons!


    Furthermore, his strength was a notch above Long Jian and the rest.


    With a huge army rallying, Mi Tian saw that Zhao Yue seemed to have all sorts of emotions welling up in his mind. That was why he asked this.


    ��Young Master is remarkable!�� Zhao Yue said.


    Mi Tian was taken aback, not expecting that he actually gave such an answer.


    He knew that the Zhao Yue back then was merely a minor character. His strength was merely Emperor Sakra Heaven.


    Now, he recovered his intellect, but he was already at the Great Beyond Realm. Furthermore, he led hundreds of Hegemons. Mi Tian even thought that it was caused by him being rather excited.


    He did not expect that Zhao Yue was actually feeling emotional about Ye Yuan.


    After spending several months�� time treating Zhao Yue and the rest, Ye Yuan directly went into closed-seclusion.


    Everyone knew that Ye Yuan was facing a life-and-death juncture!


    On the day he left seclusion, it would be when he transcended his tribulation!


    When the time came, heaven and earth would change colors!


    ��Oh, what do you mean?�� Mi Tian said with a smile.


    Zhao Yue said without hesitation, ��This spectacular sight, Young Master can��t imagine it at all previously! Back then, the Labyrinth Divine Palace swept across all the heavens. It was also merely thus! And the powerhouses in the Labyrinth Divine Palace were all unrivaled geniuses. But we all, these people, are all a bunch of trash! Young Master transformed the rotten into something magical, letting us become peerless powerhouses! Without Young Master, there wouldn��t be us, these eight Great Beyond Realms, let alone them, these Hegemon Realms! Therefore, I��m filled with all sorts of emotions at Young Master��s remarkableness!��


    Mi Tian thought about it. It was true!


    Although he was a natural Great Beyond powerhouse, without Ye Yuan, he could not have recovered his strength at all.


    Without Ye Yuan, it would naturally have been impossible for Long Jian and the others to break through to Great Beyond.


    Regarding Zhuo Bufan, Zhao Yue, Mi Zhen, and a few more, these eight mighty Great Beyond Realms, were actually single handedly created by Ye Yuan!


    This was really scary!


    One could say that this Hegemon army that made all the heavens tremble was all single handedly created by Ye Yuan!


    Mi Tian drew a deep breath and said, ��Yeah, this kid is remarkable!��

 Chapter 3107 - Ye Yuans Doom!

    Above the void, a long spear was akin to a dragon, blowing away the firmament.


    Saint force surged on Yang Qing��s body, fighting with a blood race Great Beyond powerhouse until they were locked in a struggle.


    ��Chi Hu, you��re called the blood race��s number one genius. You��re even a level above Bloodpromise. Looking at it now, it��s also nothing more than this! I only dare call myself the number two genius in the human race!�� Yang Qing sent out a spear, directly sending Chi Hu flying as he said with a loud laugh.


    At the opposite side, Chi Hu had a livid expression.


    After three years of fierce battles, Yang Qing went from an unknown ordinary Hegemon to becoming a Great Beyond Realm mighty expert.


    Yang Qing was forever that crazy. During these three years, he experienced countless narrow escapes from death, stimulating his potential to the extreme.


    Coupled with Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s heaven and earth spiritual energy growing richer with each passing day, his cultivation realm also rose rapidly, breaking through the fetters of Hegemon Realm, becoming the ninth Great Beyond!


    At that time, Chi Hu could not even be bothered to glance at Yang Qing because he was the blood race��s number one genius!


    This number one genius was not Bloodpromise, that kind of person who had not grown up yet. He was a true genius!


    Chi Hu was the blood race��s youngest Great Beyond Realm powerhouse!


    But in a short three years, this cocky to the extreme fellow in front of him actually slapped his face.


    He exchanged blows with Yang Qing but was firmly suppressed by him, beaten until he was depressed.


    He naturally knew who was humanity��s number one genius that Yang Qing was talking about.


    Ye Yuan!


    Ever since going into closed-seclusion three years ago, there had been no news about that guy until now.


    But the entire 33 Heavens had his legend!


    It was him who overcame the raging tides with his power alone, completely reversing the 33 Heavens�� war situation.


    During these three years, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army went on a punitive expedition, walking all over the 33 Heavens, rescuing countless living beings.


    And Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army was also like a rolling snowball, growing larger as it rolled.


    The blood race army had numerous powerhouses, far exceeding that of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. But Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s army did not have the desire to linger in battle. Their objective was to save people.


    And Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven also became the 33 Heavens�� final barrier. When countless powerhouses received the news, they swarmed over here one after another.


    After experiencing the initial-most chaos, the blood race army gave up on fighting with divided forces and concentrated all of their military power on attacking Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    But, outside of the blood race��s expectations, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall was sturdy to the extreme!


    With Great Beyond powerhouses defending, they actually failed to invade. They suffered a huge loss instead.


    As the commander-in-chief, Yi Xue was depressed to the extreme.


    He could not figure it out, even after racking his brain. When did the lowest-level plane, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, become so sturdy?


    After paying an extremely heavy price, the blood race finally opened up a hole in the boundary wall.


    Hence, a drawn-out seesaw battle unfolded between both sides, all the way until now.


    However, the terrifying thing was that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall seemed to show signs of growing sturdier the more they fought!


    The instigator of all these was naturally the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List!


    After engaging in fierce battles for a long time, the power of wills gathered on the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List also grew stronger and stronger.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall had a special characteristic: it was extremely averse to the blood race!


    In contrast, when other races entered it, there were not many restrictions.


    Therefore, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven also became the final fortress of all the heavens and myriad races.


    Those remnant forces that survived entered Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven one after another.


    Over three years, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s combat power grew stronger.


    Facing the arrogant Yang Qing, Chi Hu burned with fury and said with a cold smile, ��Number one genius? Someone that��s abandoned by Hegemon is also worthy of being called a genius? Heh heh, talk again after he overcomes the tribulation of Hegemon!��


    Yang Qing followed up with another spear and said, ��A frog at the bottom of a well! The heaven can��t stop Ye Yuan��s path of breakthrough too!��


    Chi Hu was indifferent and said, ��Is that so? This seat will be watching right here, watching how he transcends the tribulation! Hahaha! Also, Progenitor might come into being at any time! When Progenitor comes into being, even if he got lucky and transcended the tribulation of Hegemon, it will be a road that led to death too!��


    Before Yang Qing could speak, Yi Xue��s loud laughter came over. ��Hahaha, it looks like you all are still holding onto hope in your hearts! It��s impossible for Ye Yuan to successfully overcome his tribulation! Don��t you agree, Mi Tian?��


    Mi Tian��s face turned black, and he said in a solemn voice, ��If it was someone else, there��s definitely no hope! But he��s Ye Yuan!��


    Yi Xue laughed loudly again when he heard that and said, ��You��re deceiving yourself as well as others! Actually, even you yourself don��t believe it either, right? If I didn��t guess wrongly, you probably haven��t told Ye Yuan what he��ll be facing, right?��


    Mi Tian��s expression was very ugly. This time, he did not speak.


    How clever were Yang Qing and the rest? They felt that something was wrong very quickly.


    He could not help stopping. He stared at Yi Xue coldly.


    ��Yi Xue, what on earth are you talking about?��


    Yi Xue looked at him and said with a smile, ��The 33 Heavens have existed forever. No idea how many things that had already been buried in oblivion. Of course, no idea how many geniuses had once radiated with light! Since time immemorial, formidable divergent cultivators weren��t just Ye Yuan alone!��


    Mi Tian said in a cold voice, ��Enough, Yi Xue!��


    But Yi Xue was indifferent and continued, saying, ��What? Are you not willing to tell them this bad news? But when the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse is here, will they still not know? You are deceiving yourself as well as others!��


    Yang Qing, Zhuo Bufan, and the rest, their pupils constricted, and they could not help looking at Yi Xue.


    They had never heard of the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse before!


    Below Hegemon, some formidable individuals could call down the most terrifying Genesis Dao Tribulation!


    Genesis Dao Tribulation was also called the Final Dao Tribulation.


    Powerhouses that could call down Genesis Dao Tribulation, they were all peerless talents with extremely high hopes of stepping into Hegemon Realm. Their strength in the future would also grow stronger.


    Yang Qing, Zhuo Bufan, and the others, they all had transcended the Genesis Dao Tribulation.


    Genesis Dao Tribulation only had one wave, but it was extremely horrifying. Even if it was the likes of Yang Qing and Zhuo Bufan, it was not easy either.


    But this 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse, they had never heard of it before this!


    ��33 Tribulations of Apocalypse! What �� the hell is this? Senior Mi Tian, what on earth is going on?�� Yang Qing asked with a livid look.


    Mi Tian was silent, still not willing to speak.


    Yi Xue smiled when he saw the situation and said, ��Everyone knows that divergent cultivators have formidable strength that far exceeds their peers. But do you all know why no divergent cultivators have ever stepped into the realm of Hegemon before?��


    Yang Qing and the rest exchanged glances, all with blank faces.


    Everyone knew about this, but why was it like that? There was really no one who knew.


    Yi Xue smiled lightly and said, ��33 Heavenly Planes, how many cultivators are there! Since time immemorial, it has naturally given birth to many people who go against the heaven too. And among divergent cultivators, there were naturally amazingly talented individuals too! No matter how strong Genesis Dao Tribulation is, it��s also impossible that no one could transcend it, right? Just take Ye Yuan for example. Even if his Genesis Dao Tribulation is ten times stronger than yours, it��s extremely easy for him to overcome the tribulation too! Could it be that there��s only one Ye Yuan in this world?��


    The faces of Yang Qing and the others also became more and more ugly.


    They realized that Yi Xue was disclosing a gory truth.


    They were not willing to accept the truth!


    Yeah, how many exceptional talents had there been since remote antiquity? How could there not have been a few who defied heaven?


    There was naturally no shortage of divergent cultivators too.


    ��Above Genesis Dao Tribulation, there��s still an even more terrifying calamity, that��s the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse! This tribulation, forget about Emperor Sakra Heaven; even if it��s a Great Beyond powerhouse, there��s no way of transcending it at all too! Once this tribulation appears, it will obliterate heaven and decimate the earth; not a blade of grass will survive! The power is simply unimaginable! In the legends, this tribulation has a total of 33 waves. Each wave corresponds to one heaven! Why is it a legend? That��s because no one has ever seen the final face of this tribulation before! Nobody can transcend until the 33rd wave at all! The reason why it was given this name was also that when this tribulation descended, it would echo with all the heavens. Hence, people guess that this tribulation has a total of 33 waves!��

 Chapter 3108 - Heavenless Revives!

    ��Senior Mi Tian, you��ve lived for countless years. You��re the most knowledgeable. In your lifetime, of the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypses that you��ve seen, I wonder what��s the most that someone has transcended before?�� Yi Xue looked at Mi Tian and said with a chuckle.


    With this, everyone��s eyes turned toward Mi Tian.


    Mi Tian was not the strongest, but he was born from chaos and had lived for countless years. He naturally had great knowledge and experience.


    If talking about who was the greatest authority, it was none other than him.


    Mi Tian had a dark look and was still silent.


    But Yang Qing said anxiously, ��Senior, say it, are you trying to worry us to death?��


    At this point, they naturally understood that Yi Xue was absolutely not exaggerating things to raise the alarm.


    The 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse really existed!


    It was just that far too few were able to call down this kind of Dao tribulation. Over the course of time, it was overlooked by people.


    Those old men should know it too.


    During the last time Ye Yuan used the Heaven Trampling Five Steps, Yi Xue and Mi Tian two people both sensed that it should be the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse.


    Mi Tian also knew that it could not be hidden anymore and could only sigh. He then said, ��Roughly 80 thousand years ago, there was a human divergent cultivator called Mo Fan who had once brought down this tribulation. At that time, he �� overcame the eighth tribulation. During the ninth tribulation, he was buried in oblivion! This is the most that I��ve seen!��


    The moment these words came out, the expressions of Yang Qing and the rest changed wildly.


    Mi Tian could be said to be the 33 Heavens�� living fossil.


    In his memories, the strongest divergent cultivator only transcended eight tribulations!


    One had to know that not all divergent cultivators could bring down this tribulation.


    Those able to bring it down, they were heaven-defying powerhouses among divergent cultivators in the first place!


    But the strongest one was only eight tribulations!


    Yi Xue smiled and said, ��Senior Mi Tian is likely scared to demoralize you guys, so he didn��t say some things. I��ve heard of this Mo Fan before. His strength is extremely formidable. During the time he was at Emperor Sakra Heaven Realm, he had once killed a Peak Hegemon before too. Even if he��s not as good as Ye Yuan, he��s likely not far off either.��


    ��But there aren��t many geniuses like him! In reality, those able to transcend three tribulations are like the feather of a phoenix and horn of a Qilin. They were very rare! In this ancestor��s impression, there were only a meager five people too! Besides Mo Fan, the one that cleared the most only transcended until the fifth tribulation! Now, do you all still think that Ye Yuan can break through to Hegemon Realm?��


    Talking until here, Yi Xue could not help letting out a loud laugh.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses were deathly silent.


    Yi Xue��s words were equivalent to sentencing Ye Yuan to death.


    His words divulged some information, this 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse, each tribulation was stronger than the last.


    This tribulation had no other effect than to throttle these people who went against heaven in their cradle.


    Ye Yuan was definitely an amazingly talented person. Even when compared to Mo Fan, he was significantly stronger too.


    But there were still more than 20 Dao tribulations at the back!


    ��This �� How can it be like this?��


    ��Could it be that Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is really hopeless?��


    ��This is really a bolt out of the blue! How can there be such a horrifying Dao tribulation in this world?��


    �� . .


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s powerhouses fell into panic and fear at once.


    Yi Xue��s words shattered all of their hope to pieces.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s final hope was that Ye Yuan could succeed in overcoming his tribulation.


    Only then could they have the power to fight it out with the blood race.


    But now, this hope was shattered!


    Rumble ��


    Suddenly, the void trembled. Powerhouses that were flying in the sky, their figures swayed. Some could not even stabilize their figures and fell down.


    Yi Xue��s expression changed, and he said, ��This power is coming from the Eternal River��s chaos! It��s �� It��s Ancestor Heavenless!��


    Mi Tian��s expression also turned slightly grim, and he said, ��What a strong power of chaos! Could it be that �� he has already transcended the Great Beyond?��


    This power swept across the entire void, spreading across the 33 Heavens.


    At this time, this powerful force could be felt everywhere in the 33 Heavens.


    They had never felt this kind of power before.


    Even if it was the likes of Mi Tian and Yi Xue, they did not give them such a powerful sense of oppression too.


    At this time, inside the Eternal River��s chaos, a figure of a middle-aged man dressed in taoist robes was currently slowly condensing and forming.


    Countless Eternal River chaos flooded over toward him, helping him to remold his physical body.


    This kind of undulation spread across the entire 33 Heavens through the waters of the Eternal River.


    ��Hahaha �� My body of chaos has finally been sculpted successfully! These several hundred thousand years of waiting were ultimately not in vain! Old Dog Samsara, wait to suffer this progenitor��s wrath! This time, we��ll settle all of the scores together!��


    Ancestor Heavenless let out a wild laughter, full of high spirits, his imposing momentum billowing to the sky.


    He lured powerhouses from all heavens and refined a chaos heavenly pill. At this time, he actually succeeded!


    Behind Ancestor Heavenless, the Door of Eternal Life opened.


    The two doors of eternal life were practically already fully opened at this time.


    That hollow depths seemed incomparably deep and mysterious.


    Gradually, Ancestor Heavenless�� figure completely condensed and formed, and the Door of Eternal Life also suddenly stopped.


    There was just one last trace, and it would be fully opened!


    ��ARGHHH! Ye Yuan, it��s all because of you, this punk! Otherwise, this seat will definitely be able to reach the true Great Beyond! Before killing Old Dog Samsara, this seat will slaughter you, this punk, first!��


    Amidst the chaos came Ancestor Heavenless�� angry roar.


    Boom!


    It was only to see his figure move, directly traversing through the Eternal River��s chaos, sprinting wildly in the direction of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    An astonishing huge wave engulfed everything and swept over here.


    ��He��s here!�� Mi Tian��s expression changed, and he said in shock.


    ��W-What a powerful aura! Is this the true Great Beyond?�� Zhuo Bufan��s gaze flickered as he said.


    Yi Xue��s expression was very ugly too. He did not know what Ancestor Heavenless wanted to do.


    Under this kind of strength, all resistance was superfluous!


    Boom!


    A large hole was directly blown open in the void. Ancestor Heavenless�� figure gradually stepped out.


    The moment he took the stage, everyone��s aura was directly suppressed.


    Including Mi Tian and Yi Xue!


    It was only at this time did people truly realize what Great Beyond meant!


    Ancestor Heavenless�� aura was too strong!


    His gaze swept across everyone��s faces. Those who were swept by him seemed to be pinned down by Mount Tai, kneeling down involuntarily.


    For a moment, the powerhouses that filled the sky actually all knelt down.


    That was submission to Heavenly Dao. They could not control themselves!


    Only powerhouses that were Hegemon Realm and above could barely manage to stand.


    But everyone��s bodies descended one after another. No one dared to fly in the sky in front of Ancestor Heavenless.


    Heavenless�� gaze landed on Yi Xue. Yi Xue��s entire body felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast, his hair standing on end.


    ��Blood race��s Yi Xue congratulates Ancestor Heavenless for attaining Great Dao!�� Yi Xue directly knelt down without the slightest hesitation.


    ��Scram!��


    Heavenless shouted angrily, flicking his sleeves. A terrifying force howled over.


    Yi Xue��s expression changed wildly, saint force running rampant on his body, attempting to resist.


    But, before he could display his strength, he was directly flattened by a giant wave.


    Pffft!


    Fresh blood spurted wildly from Yi Xue��s body, and finally, with a bang, he directly exploded.


    But very soon, that cloud of remnant blood condensed again, letting him revive.


    It was just that at this time, Yi Xue��s complexion was extremely pale. Clearly, he had already suffered extremely severe injuries.


    When the powerhouses all over the sky saw this scene, each and every one of them was extremely shocked.


    Who was Yi Xue?


    Being able to contend with Mi Tian, he was a supreme powerhouse standing at the peak of the 33 Heavens.


    But he actually could not stand up to a single blow in front of Ancestor Heavenless!


    Clearly, Ancestor Heavenless was not serious at all!


    Otherwise, with that blow just now, he could have directly taken Yi Xue��s life!


    ��Humph! With this ancestor corroborating my Dao, is it your, a small fry��s, turn, to come and congratulate me? I��ll spare your life. Go back and tell that lousy stone. This ancestor will be coming to find him to settle the Labyrinth Divine Palace score very soon!��


    Finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Yi Xue and turned to Mi Tian and said, ��Where��s Ye Yuan punk? Have him come out and die!��

 Chapter 3109 - Wills Unite Like a Fortress!

    When Mi Tian and the rest heard, their hearts went thump.


    The first thing that Heavenless did after leaving seclusion was actually to find Ye Yuan to take revenge!


    A hint of smugness flashed across the corners of Yi Xue��s mouth.


    With this, it did not need Progenitor to personally take action anymore!


    ��Old Man Mi Tian, this ancestor is talking to you. Didn��t hear me?�� Heavenless said coldly.


    Speaking of which, Mi Tian was still his senior.


    But his strength had long already surpassed Mi Tian. There was also not the slightest bit of respect in his words.


    Mi Tian frowned and said, ��Heavenless, Ye Yuan is currently in closed-seclusion, preparing to transcend the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse! Looking at this old man��s face, how about withdrawing for the time being?��


    But when Heavenless heard, his brows went up. He closed his eyes, seemingly feeling something carefully.


    Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he laughed loudly as he said, ��Haha, it��s indeed the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse! However, it��s not strange either. If he doesn��t call down this tribulation, that would be strange! However �� Mi Tian, your face isn��t that big! Since this ancestor has corroborated my Dao and returned, I don��t plan on letting him die under the apocalypse tribulations! After this ancestor kills him, it will also be considered carrying out justice on behalf of heaven!��


    When everyone from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven heard that, their faces changed. If Heavenless forcibly broke in, they could not stop him at all!


    The current Heavenless was seriously too strong!


    Meanwhile, Yi Xue and the others had gloating faces. This kind of situation was precisely what they were pleased to see and hear.


    However, they were also secretly shocked by Heavenless�� power.


    They only barely managed to perceive a trace when Ye Yuan was using the Heaven Trampling Five Steps, but Heavenless could feel it without basis.


    Mi Tian drew a deep breath and slowly said, ��Since that��s the case, let��s fight then! Want to see Ye Yuan? Sure! But you��ll have to step over our dead bodies!��


    Heavenless laughed loudly and said, ��Just the likes of you all, these ants, you also want to stop this ancestor? It looks like you all still don��t have a clear understanding of this ancestor��s strength yet!��


    Mi Tian said coolly, ��So what? Our Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven only has heroic souls that die in battle; there are no cowards who fear death! You��re very strong. This old man is far from being a match. But in this realm, no one fears you! If you don��t believe, you can ask them behind me!��


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    ��Fight to the death without retreating!��


    �� . .


    Behind Mi Tian, the voices of those Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven powerhouses were orderly, shocking the sky.


    Everyone had steadfast faces, without any looks of fear at all.


    From top to bottom, even if their cultivation realms did not even reach Emperor Realm, they did not shrink back at all either.


    Heavenless had a dark expression, feeling like his majesty had been seriously provoked.


    He thought that having returned domineeringly, the myriad worlds should be submitting themselves to his rule.


    But clearly, he found the wrong target!


    ��Humph! Old thing who refuses face when it��s given! Since you wholeheartedly seek death, then this ancestor will grant your wish!��


    Heavenless flipped his palm. A shocking aura rose up.


    In heaven and earth, it was as if everything was within his control.


    When everyone saw this scene, they were all incredibly shocked.


    It was just like they saw the end of Great Dao.


    Yi Xue��s expression was apprehensive as he said, ��What a terrifying power! I feel like there��s nothing in this world that can surpass this power anymore! Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven is finished!��


    Mi Tian had a somber expression. Under this power, he did not even have the strength left to resist.


    It was only to see Heavenless press a palm down. Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall was crushed until it deformed!


    One had to know that the blood race army bombarded indiscriminately and only barely managed to damage Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall too.


    But at this time, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall was seemingly about to collapse immediately.


    Zhuo Bufan, Yang Qing, and the rest could not even move a muscle under this pressure!


    At this moment, they finally understood how strong Heavenless was!


    When this palm landed, what it killed would not only be Mi Tian. None of the people present could escape!


    Meanwhile, Mi Tian himself directly gave up struggling, closing his eyes and waiting to die.


    He knew that under this power, all efforts were futile.


    Heavenless smiled coldly and said, ��Look closely. This is the outcome of provoking this ancestor! Let all the living things in this world be buried in death for your ignorance!��


    With this palm pressing down, it was actually going to slaughter a world!


    But right then, inside the world, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List seemed to have sensed something, suddenly releasing a dazzling light.


    When Mi Tian and the others saw the situation, they trembled all over, their eyes revealing the light of hope.


    ��Is this �� a summoning? It��s calling us to protect Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven together?��


    Mi Tian sensed that the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List seemed to be beating to some kind of mysterious tempo.


    And his heartbeat actually started beating along this rhythm.


    He immediately realized that the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List seemed to be calling something.


    Hence, his entire person began to enter a mysterious state.


    Beat, beat!


    Beat, beat!


    Mi Tian felt that there were more and more heartbeats sounding out around him.


    He and the others were actually connected together under the spurring of the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List.


    At this time, everyone from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven actually felt a kind of bloodline connection.


    At this moment, regardless of race, regardless of cultivation, everyone seemed to be on the same frequency.


    An invisible barrier rose up from the boundary wall, meeting Heavenless�� shocking palm.


    Heavenless gave a cold laugh and said, ��A bunch of ants; mantis blocking a chariot! Exterminate for me!��


    While talking, a palm pressed onto the barrier.


    Boom!


    The void trembled heavily. That invisible barrier was directly dispersed.


    But Heavenless�� figure was actually knocked flying out backward.


    Although it was not far, he was indeed knocked back!


    Everyone was dumbfounded with shock!


    ��A-Actually blocked it! This �� How is this possible?��


    ��That��s a palm that controls heaven and earth! It �� It was actually blocked?��


    ��Just what did Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven that group of people do?��


    �� . .


    The blood race powerhouses looked at this scene with shocked faces, only feeling incredulity.


    It was undeniable that the power that Heavenless displayed was extremely strong. Therefore, they completely never thought that Heavenless would fail.


    Let alone would they think that this barrier that appeared from God knows where actually really blocked Ancestor Heavenless!


    At this time, Mi Tian and the others had fresh blood hanging from the corners of their mouths. The power of this palm was too great!


    Although the barrier blocked this blow, their minds were still traumatized.


    However, they were incomparably excited.


    The invincible Heavenless was actually blocked by them!


    ��Hahaha, Heavenly Saint Ye is really impressive! The Chaos Heavenly Spirit List has probably already surpassed the domain of chaos heavenly treasure!��


    ��That��s a powerhouse that surpassed Great Beyond! We �� We actually blocked it!��


    ��Impressive! Really impressive! Our wills unite like a fortress; Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven won��t be finished!��


    �� . .


    Ancestor Heavenless�� expression was as ugly as it could get.


    He thought that after he attained Dao, he would be able to summon rain and wind, suppressing the myriad worlds!


    Now, he actually could not even subdue a measly Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    The big talk that was boasted just now was simply face-slapping!


    ��What a terrific power of will! This treasure can actually condense the willpower of the people of a world and protect this world! Remarkable! Truly impressive! But it ends here too! Do you all really think that this lousy thing can block this ancestor?��


    Suddenly, Ancestor Heavenless raised both palms up. A storm that was even more terrifying than just now directly howled!


    The faces of everyone from Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven changed!

 Chapter 3110 - Two Great Supremacies Joining Hands, Grand Brightjade in Danger!

    Clearly, that palm previously was not Heavenless�� greatest strength.


    But this palm after that was his greatest move!


    The current Heavenless seemed like a monarch who was standing high above the masses, ruling over everything!


    When a king was enraged, corpses would float for a thousand miles!


    He glared and said in a solemn voice, ��This damn thing was developed by Ye Yuan that punk, right? This boy is really a freak! However, it ends here too! This ancestor has comprehended Chaos Great Dao and will use this world to establish awe!��


    Heavenless turned both palms toward each other, endless saint force poured out from his body.


    Some inexplicable power was actually also included in it!


    What this power was, nobody knew. But everyone could feel its power.


    Clearly, this was something that could only be grasped after reaching Heavenless, this kind of level.


    Yi Xue said in alarm and horror, ��That seems to be the power of Great Dao! Could it be that Ancestor Heavenless actually grasped the Dao of Chaos? This �� What kind of realm is this!��


    Chi Hu smiled coldly and said, ��Since Ancestor Heavenless can control a Dao, our Progenitor can naturally control a Dao too! However, being able to kill Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven this bunch of bastards, that would be for the best!��


    Yi Xue was taken aback and said with a smile, ��You��re right! Presumably, Progenitor��s strength won��t be worse than Heavenless��! This time, Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven definitely can��t block it! Being able to watch this world be destroyed with my own eyes, it��s also a beautiful thing!��


    The blood race repeatedly suffered losses in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven. Yi Xue even almost died here.


    They were full of unhappiness with this world.


    Now, being able to watch it get destroyed with their own eyes, the blood race powerhouses were naturally very satisfied.


    ��Heaven and Earth Infinity!��


    The universe seemed to be flowing between Heavenless�� palms!


    Here was heaven and earth!


    It was only to see him push both palms. A surge of force that was terrifying to the extreme gushed out.


    That feeling was really like the sky had fallen down.


    Even the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven started trembling!


    The complexions of Mi Tian and the others were deathly pale. The power of this move was much stronger than that palm previously!


    Could they still block it?


    Right when he was feeling flustered, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List stirred again!


    That feeling of bloodline connection appeared once more!


    It was just that this time, the heartbeats that Mi Tian felt, the number far exceeded that one just now!


    There seemed to be countless hearts beating in his consciousness.


    A power of will that was unimaginably colossal poured toward the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List frenziedly.


    ��This �� This is the power of all beings!�� Mi Tian was shocked in his heart as he said.


    Different from the previous time, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List��s summoning this time, the target was all the living creatures of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    Those that flew in the sky, those that swam in the sea, even if their strength was as meager as dust, they participated too.


    This was the power of all beings!


    At this moment, all living creatures in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, joined hands to resist the enemy!


    Mi Tian was unable to describe the shock in his heart. The Chaos Heavenly Spirit List was seriously too amazing.


    This item already surpassed his knowledge of any chaos heavenly treasure.


    Clearly, the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List determined its attack according to the strength of the opponent.


    Becoming stronger when encountering the strong!


    An invisible barrier condensed and formed again, covering Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven like a giant umbrella.


    Boom!


    The barrier collapsed once again, and Heavenless�� figure was actually knocked a hundred steps back!


    His expression was ugly to the extreme.


    Meanwhile, Yi Xue and the others reined in their smiles, not daring to move.


    Even though they really wanted to laugh.


    But, in front of Heavenless, they did not dare to do so.


    If they laughed, they would die!


    They could only pray in their hearts for Progenitor to hurry up and come into being, and help them escape suffering.


    Right now, they wanted to leave but did not dare to leave; They wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to laugh.


    How bitter!


    Heavenless only felt his face burn fiery hot. The big talk that he bragged about was being proven to be bragging time and again!


    Someone as powerful as him was actually unable to shake the measly Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven!


    ��Good! Very good! This ancestor wants to see how many times you all can block!�� The overwhelming aura on Heavenless�� body ran rampant once more. Clearly, he had turned somewhat angry from embarrassment.


    Right at this time, a mocking voice sounded out. ��Heavenless, you��re only half a step away from transcending the Great Beyond, but you can��t even take down a low-level plane, how disgraceful!��


    While talking, an elderly figure stepped out of the chaos.


    When Heavenless saw the arrival, his pupils could not help constricting.


    ��Humph! Old Dog Samsara, stop making wisecracks here! If you have the ability, destroy this world for this ancestor to see!�� Heavenless said with a sneer.


    The arrival was precisely Progenitor Samsara!


    Different from Heavenless�� overwhelming aura that billowed to the sky, Progenitor Samsara was not so high-profile, looking just like an ordinary old man.


    Progenitor Samsara��s disposition belonged to that kind of profoundness that washed away the guise of the secular, making people unable to grasp.


    However, nobody dared to question his strength!


    Mi Tian had a foreboding feeling!


    Heavenless and Samsara had a life-and-death great enmity!


    When Heavenless saw Samsara, he actually did not pounce on the spot. What did this show?


    This showed that he was very apprehensive of Samsara!


    Mi Tian could not see through Samsara, but from Heavenless�� reaction, he guessed that Samsara��s strength likely did not lose to Heavenless!


    This was not good news to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    He knew that Ye Yuan had offended three great supremacies badly in the Labyrinth Divine Palace.


    If these two people joined hands, then Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven would really suffer a cataclysmic disaster!


    At this time, their three-way relationship was very delicate.


    The current Mi Tian could only pray that things did not develop in the worst direction.


    ��So, it��s Brother Samsara. Long time no see!�� Mi Tian clasped his hands towards Hegemon Samsara from far away.


    Hegemon Samsara and him were virtually born at the same time. However, Hegemon Samsara��s talent was clearly greater than his.


    There was also considered some friendship between him and Progenitor Samsara.


    Mi Tian��s thoughts stirred, wanting to borrow Hegemon Samsara��s strength.


    Samsara gave him a glance and said with a light smile, ��Mi Tian, put away your ulterior thoughts! It��s useless to address me as brother here! If it wasn��t Ye Yuan, it would not have been impossible for this progenitor to consider letting the person off! But I must kill Ye Yuan!��


    Heavenless glanced at him and said with a loud laugh, ��Haha, Old Dog Samsara, you and I have the same idea! It looks like you couldn��t transcend the Great Beyond either, right? You and I are only half a step away from being able to truly transcend Great Beyond and completely control a Dao! If not for Ye Yuan, perhaps we��d have succeeded! This enmity must be avenged! We��ll settle our scores later! Why don��t you and I join hands and destroy this world first? How about it?��


    The moment these words came out, the hearts of everyone in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven thumped, yelling inwardly not good.


    These two great supremacies joining hands, it was simply deadly!


    In front of them, all ulterior thoughts became useless.


    Strength was the only reliance.


    Progenitor Samsara did not give Mi Tian a chance at all.


    Samsara gave Heavenless a look and said meaningfully, ��Heavenless, you��re very confident! You��re certain that Bloodstone that fellow can��t transcend Great Beyond?��


    Heavenless said indifferently, ��You and I have reached this realm. You naturally know how difficult this half-step is! What right does Bloodstone that fellow have to be stronger than you and I? At the very most, it will also be a situation of tripartite confrontation in the future, no?��


    Completely controlling a Dao, this meant that they could become the spokesman of Heavenly Dao!


    Seemingly like it was half a step away, but it was absolutely worlds apart.


    Heavenless and Samsara were both clear about this in their hearts.


    This half a step was far too difficult!


    They spent countless years and could not take this half-step too.


    Samsara glanced at him and said with a smile, ��Okay, I agree!��

 Chapter 3111 - Kneel Down!

    An atmosphere of despair pervaded the world.


    With these two great supremacies joining hands, no matter how powerful the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List, it was impossible to block them too!


    ��Mi Tian, didn��t expect it, right? Today, no one can save Ye Yuan! He must die!�� Heavenless said with indignation.


    Even a powerful overlord such as him had repeatedly suffered losses in Ye Yuan��s hands. He really even wanted to die.


    Samsara looked at Mi Tian and said coolly, ��Mi Tian, there aren��t many of those from our era who are still living in this world! This progenitor will give you a chance: hand Ye Yuan over, and I��ll spare you from death!��


    Mi Tian said without even thinking: ��No need! This world can be destroyed, but it can��t surrender!��


    Samsara��s pupils constricted, killing intent immediately rising from his body.


    He discovered that although those ants within the world were in despair, none of them shrunk back.


    At this point, there was also no one who begged for mercy.


    He realized that this was a terrifying world!


    It was not hard to want a group of people to be fearless!


    But, to make the people of a world be bound by a common hatred for the enemy and share life and death, this was harder than ascending to heaven.


    What right did Ye Yuan have?


    ��Since that��s the case, then �� you all can be buried in death for Ye Yuan��s sake! Mourning of Samsara, arise!��


    Hegemon Samsara raised his palm, a giant yin yang gearwheel condensed in the chaos.


    The moment that giant wheel appeared, it carried the might of heaven and earth.


    It was much stronger than Heavenless�� Heaven and Earth Infinity!


    Even Heavenless�� pupils constricted too.


    This giant wheel turned endlessly, crushing over toward Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall.


    Places that it passed through, everything became dust!


    More than ten blood race Hegemons failed to run away in time and were directly gone!


    ��What a powerful strength! I feel like my origin divinity is going to be ground up by it! Is this the secret of samsara?��


    ��The power of Great Dao is contained in this giant wheel too! Ancestor Heavenless and Progenitor Samsara have already completely broken away from the domain of a Heavenly Stratum powerhouse! Saying that they are the masters is also not the least bit overboard!��


    ��The 33 Heavens�� arrangement will be completely broken today! From now on, tripartite confrontation! No one will be able to shake their positions!��


    �� . .


    The blood race powerhouses were all extremely shocked.


    Today, Hegemon Heavenless and Hegemon Samsara subverted their understanding of strength.


    The power of Great Dao was too powerful!


    At this time, Ancestor Heavenless made his move too!


    Heaven and Earth Infinity smashed over again!


    Regarding Heaven and Earth Infinity coupled with Mourning of Samsara, that raging power could virtually crush everything!


    At this time, if it was any other plane, the two of them joining hands would be sufficient to destroy all of the planes!


    This was the strength of powerhouses who controlled Great Dao!


    Mi Tian��s complexion was somewhat pale because he discovered that the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List was actually silent!


    This was true despair!


    Even the Chaos Heavenly Spirit List gave up too?


    ��Cloudmount, Bufan, do you �� regret it?�� Mi Tian said.


    ��Haha, what��s there to regret? Making these powerhouses who control Great Dao suffer a loss, it��s sufficient for us to go down in history, right?�� Cloudmount said with a loud laugh.


    ��Dying for Dao, nine deaths �� with no regrets!�� Zhuo Bufan said calmly.


    Mi Tian nodded slightly and said, ��This old man also can��t remember clearly how many years I��ve lived! But I feel that the years previously have all been an utter waste! Only until I knew Ye Yuan did this old man��s life become meaningful!��


    Hearing that, everyone nodded one after another.


    Clearly, they shared Mi Tian��s thoughts.


    Dying this way was very heroic, but they had no regrets!


    Why should we rejoice over life, and why should we be bitter about death?


    Two horrifying to the extreme Great Dao attacks jostled against each other and came down.


    Even the entire Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven started trembling.


    Crack �� Crack, crack ��


    The boundary wall already started breaking down under this heavy pressure.


    It might collapse at any time.


    Yi Xue smiled lightly and said, ��These guys are finally dead!��


    However, just as the two terrifying attacks were about to land on the boundary wall, those two attacks actually slowly began to dissipate.


    Finally, like the wind blew past, nothing was left behind.


    When Samsara and Heavenless two people saw it, their pupils constricted.


    In this world, who could resolve the two of their full power attacks so casually?


    ��This �� This is impossible!�� Heavenless said in disbelief.


    Everyone present was staring dumbfoundedly.


    Nobody knew what happened just now.


    Even the powerhouses on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s side had dumbfounded faces too.


    What on earth happened during this?


    Samsara��s gaze turned intent and he said in a solemn voice, ��Who is it? Get out here for this progenitor!��


    A youth in bright red robes slowly stepped out of the chaos.


    He walked toward everyone, but people felt like Heavenly Dao had descended.


    That sacred aura could not be concealed no matter what.


    But they discovered to their horror that they had never seen this youth before!


    When did such a major power appear in the 33 Heavens?


    Samsara��s pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, ��You �� You��re Bloodstone? You really came into being?��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was shocked.


    Mi Tian and the others were shocked and puzzled. Why would Progenitor Bloodstone help Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven?


    But Yi Xue and the rest were full of ecstasy.


    The blood race powerhouses all knelt down at this moment.


    ��Congratulations to Progenitor for coming into being! The blood race will live for generations to come and unify all the heavens!��


    The youth slowly walked in front of Samsara, an incomparably sinister and charming smile hanging on his face as he opened his mouth and said, ��Just now, was it you who was disrespectful to this Dao?��


    Samsara frowned and said, ��This Dao? Who the hell do you think you are? To dare call yourself this Dao?��


    This Dao; no one in the 33 Heavens had ever called themselves that before.


    But Samsara and Heavenless naturally knew what this Dao meant.


    Progenitor Bloodstone was telling them that he had already controlled a Dao and transcended Great Beyond!


    Only such a powerhouse was worthy of being called a Great Dao powerhouse. Only then would they dare call themselves this Dao!


    This term of address also completely differentiated him from the powerhouses of all heavens.


    He was the god who controlled Heavenly Dao!


    It was just that Hegemon Samsara and Hegemon Heavenless did not believe that Bloodstone could really transcend Great Beyond.


    Back then, they were wounded almost equally badly.


    There was no reason that the Bloodstone was stronger than the two of them.


    Of course, the more important thing was that they knew how difficult this half-step was!


    Even if they were not injured, there was no hope of taking this half-step at all either!


    What right did Bloodstone have?


    Regarding that move earlier being stopped, it was simply because they placed all of their energy on Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven, and they overlooked Bloodstone.


    If they went at it again, they were confident that it would be absolutely impossible for Bloodstone to succeed!


    This was where their confidence in controlling Great Dao lay!


    Heavenless smiled coldly and said, ��Bloodstone brat, do you really think that you can frighten us? Transcending Great Beyond, do you take the two of us to be fools?��


    The sinister and charming youth glanced at them and lightly spat two words out of his mouth: ��Kneel down!��


    At the same time, a power that originated from Great Dao instantly descended!


    This power of Great Dao was pure to the extreme. It was no idea how many times stronger than Heavenless and Samsara were, these two people!


    No, wait, these two were not on the same level at all!


    Thud!


    Heavenless and Hegemon Samsara knelt down in response!


    Everyone looked at this scene dumbfoundedly, horrified to the extreme!


    These two powerhouses, who controlled a trace of the power of Great Dao, were actually directly pressured into kneeling!


    1

 Chapter 3112 - Invincible in the World!

    ��This �� How was this possible?��


    ��Are my eyes failing? Those two major powers are already invincible in the 33 Heavens, and yet they were actually pressured into kneeling by Progenitor Bloodstone��s words?��


    ��What kind of realm did Progenitor Bloodstone reach?��


    �� . .


    Countless shocked gazes closed in on Progenitor Bloodstone.


    This scene was seriously too soul-stirring.


    For countless years, the 33 Heavens had been in a delicate equilibrium.


    All the way until Ancestor Heavenless came soaring into existence, breaking this balance.


    But Ancestor Heavenless was not invincible. He had Progenitor Samsara as his opponent!


    In reality, although the Ancestor Heavenless back then was formidable, he was far from being invincible.


    All the way until today, he molded a chaos physical body, reappearing before everyone��s eyes.


    This Ancestor Heavenless was invincible!


    But this invincible Ancestor Heavenless appeared so weak at this time!


    Heavenless looked at Progenitor Bloodstone with a horrified look and said in shock, ��H-Have you really taken the final step? This is impossible!��


    The sinister and charming youth smiled lightly and said, ��The blood race launched the all-heavens war, slaughtering living things from all races, collecting 99 Blood Ward Beads! These 99 Blood Ward Beads contain all the profundities of the Great Dao of Blood! This Dao fused with these 99 Blood Ward Beads with a body of chaos and finally pushed open the Door of Eternal Life! And the Door of Eternal Life��s reward to this Dao is the Great Dao of Blood! Henceforth, this Dao will be the sole ruler of the 33 Heavens! Do you have objections?��


    Heavenless�� expression choked, immediately feeling an extremely strong sense of oppression hitting him head-on.


    This kind of oppressive feeling, other than when he just entered the Labyrinth Divine Palace and felt it in front of his master, he never felt it again.


    But now, he felt it once more!


    Progenitor Bloodstone��s strength gave him a sense of powerlessness!


    ��Impossible! This ancestor transformed into hundreds of millions, comprehending samsara in all the heavens and myriad worlds, but I couldn��t take this step from beginning to end! What right do you have?!�� Progenitor Samsara said angrily.


    The sinister and charming youth smiled and said, ��If it was before, this Dao really wouldn��t have been able to answer you. But now, this Dao can tell you. Samsara Great Dao is a profound mystery that you can��t probe into! So right from the beginning, your Dao was wrong!��


    Progenitor Samsara��s expression changed wildly. It was as if there was a sledgehammer that smashed onto his chest.


    Progenitor Bloodstone��s words simply cut deep into the heart!


    He spent his whole life in pursuit of the Dao of Samsara.


    In the end, it was actually all for naught?


    ��No! This is impossible! How can my Dao be wrong? You��re bluffing me! You must be lying to me!�� Progenitor Samsara bellowed.


    The sinister and charming youth was indifferent. He just smiled lightly and said, ��The Dao of Samsara controls all life! Life and death samsara is predetermined by heaven! The Dao of Samsara is too vast. It��s not what you can control! If you grasp the Dao of Samsara, then what do we still need Heavenly Dao for? Even if you transcend Great Beyond, it��s impossible to surpass Heavenly Dao too!��


    Talking until the back, Progenitor Bloodstone was actually somewhat melancholic.


    Having taken this step, he was already invincible in the 33 Heavens.


    But he was just the spokesperson for Heavenly Dao. That was all.


    Hegemon was the supremacy that dominated all life!


    No one could surpass Heavenly Dao!


    Samsara��s expression became paler and paler.


    It was because he understood that Bloodstone��s words were not without reason.


    Life and death samsara, this Dao was too vast!


    He could not withstand it!


    ��Alright, enough crap! From now on, the two of you are my dogs. Is there any objection? Don��t use this kind of eyes to look at this Dao. There��s only one chance. Think carefully before answering!�� Progenitor Bloodstone said it casually.


    Samsara two people��s expressions turned somber, their faces revealing a look of unwillingness.


    But refusal was tantamount to death!


    There was no question about this.


    ��I��m �� willing!�� Heavenless suddenly lowered his head and kowtowed toward Progenitor Bloodstone as he said.


    Progenitor Bloodstone smiled evilly and charmingly, looking at Samsara again as he said, ��What about you?��


    Progenitor Samsara��s expression changed over and over again. Finally, he still lowered his head and resigned himself to fate. ��I��m willing!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone nodded with satisfaction and said, ��Do you know why this Dao stopped you guys?��


    Samsara said respectfully, ��Only you can kill Ye Yuan!��


    Bloodstone smiled sinisterly and charmingly. Turning to look at Mi Tian, he said, ��Are you all inviting Ye Yuan out? Or are you going to make this Dao do it myself? From now on, you all are this Dao��s subjects. This Dao doesn��t want to go on a killing spree.��


    From start to finish, Progenitor Bloodstone did not look angry at all.


    It was as if everything in this world could no longer move him.


    Him coming to take revenge was also merely just taking revenge. That was all.


    With just one glance, Mi Tian felt infinite pressure.


    That kind of pressure was as if there were 33 layers of heaven crushing down.


    The fear in Mi Tian��s heart could not be obstructed at all. That was fear that came from the soul!


    It was not just him. Everyone in Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven felt this fear, no matter how strong or weak they were.


    Only after a long time did Mi Tian barely manage to straighten out his breathing. He said in a solemn voice, ��Die in glory rather than live on in dishonor! Want to meet Ye Yuan, do it yourself!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone nodded slightly and said, ��Okay, understood!��


    Puu, puu, puu, puu ��


    Suddenly, the bodies of the powerhouses in the world exploded one after another, blood mist scattering!


    Virtually in an instant, blood dyed the sky!


    But from beginning to end, Progenitor Bloodstone never even moved a finger.


    When Mi Tian and the rest saw this scene, the muscles on their faces were twitching.


    They originally thought that Progenitor Bloodstone would be the same as Heavenless two people, forcefully breaking down the boundary.


    But who knew that he did not even need to move and slaughtered tens of thousands of powerhouses!


    The current Progenitor Bloodstone was truly too terrifying!


    Progenitor Bloodstone said, ��This progenitor has controlled the Great Dao of Blood. All flesh and blood bodies are within this Dao��s control! Want you to live, you��ll live! Want you to die, you��ll die! Killing you all is just a matter of a thought! Since you all are seeking death, I��ll let you all seek virtue and acquire it; get your heart��s desire! Hur hur, your current desperate expressions, this Dao likes it very much!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone was full of unhappiness towards Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    Even if he was presently already invincible in all worlds, he was still unhappy!


    ��STOP!��


    Right at this time, a figure directly flew out of Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    When Mi Tian saw this figure, his expression could not help changing wildly.


    Ye Yuan!


    At this time, Ye Yuan actually exited his seclusion!


    Furthermore, this guy actually flew outside of the boundary. This was courting death!


    It was merely a matter of a thought for Progenitor Bloodstone to kill him!


    ��Ye Yuan, come back!�� Mi Tian roared.


    Ye Yuan did not turn back. He just waved his hand and flew straight in front of Progenitor Bloodstone and said coolly, ��I��m here. Stop this!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone smiled evilly and charmingly and said, ��You finally came out!��


    Ye Yuan��s expression was cold, and he said in a solemn voice, ��You��ll pay the price for what you did earlier!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone smiled and said, ��Oh? What price?��


    Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, ��Your life!��


    ��Insolence! Who the hell do you think you are to dare speak to Progenitor like this? Our Progenitor is already invincible under the heavens!�� Yi Xue immediately reprimanded.


    Bloodstone just smiled and waved his hand at him. Yi Xue��s expression turned fearful. He immediately became silent, cold sweat pouring profusely.


    The present Progenitor Bloodstone no longer needed to posture.


    He was truly invincible!

 Chapter 3113

    Progenitor Bloodstone sized Ye Yuan up rather interestedly and did not feel angry.


    ��Want my life? This Dao really wants to know what right do you have to want my life! This Dao is already invincible under the heavens!�� Bloodstone said coolly.


    He was not showing off anything. He was just stating a fact.


    Indeed, he no longer had any threat until this sky.


    Let alone that Ye Yuan still had a tribulation that could not be overcome!


    ��You corroborated your Dao with the blood of all living creatures, bringing a catastrophe to the 33 Heavens! It defies heavenly harmony and must suffer the wrath of Heaven!�� Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.


    ��Hahaha �� Violates heavenly harmony? What��s wrong with exchanging the lives of a bunch of ants for this Dao to attain Great Dao? Moreover, this shouldn��t have come out of your mouth, right? Ye Yuan brat, you probably still don��t know what tribulation you shall be experiencing, right? The 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse is a calamity of Heaven��s condemnation! For countless years, the strongest person only made it to the ninth tribulation! Divergent cultivators are people who are spurned by Heavenly Dao! Heaven wants to eradicate you. You have no choice but to die!�� Bloodstone said with a light laugh.


    The expressions of Mi Tian and the others changed.


    However, Ye Yuan did not panic like they had imagined.


    He just said coolly, ��If heaven wants to destroy you, it will definitely drive you insane first! You think that you��re invincible but don��t know that Heavenly Dao understands! You won��t have a good outcome!��


    Progenitor Bloodstone smiled sinisterly and charmingly as he said, ��Ignorant brat! This Dao is the envoy of Heavenly Dao. Why would Heavenly Dao deal with me? Ye Yuan, you��re the only person that could make this Dao suffer losses several times. This Dao respects you. I��ll let you die with dignity! Alright, since this Dao is the envoy of Heavenly Dao, I will be executing justice on behalf of Heavenly Dao now, and then I will send you on your way! Rest assured, this Dao will �� destroy this world!��


    The expressions of everyone in the world became fearful.


    With Ye Yuan standing in front of Progenitor Bloodstone, it was simply striking a rock with an egg!


    The current Ye Yuan still remained at peak Emperor Sakra Heaven. What would he use to deal with Progenitor Bloodstone?


    ��Ye Yuan, quickly come back! You can��t deal with him by yourself!�� Mi Tian shouted angrily.


    ��F*cking hell! This guy didn��t bring me along when playing the hero!�� Yang Qing also shouted coldly and was about to charge out of the realm.


    When everyone from the blood race saw this scene, each and every one sneered coldly.


    Today, no one could stop them!


    The blood race would be the 33 Heavens�� royal lineage from now on!


    All lives were ants!


    ��Heh, a bunch of ants who are struggling on their deathbed! Displaying their slight skill in front of Progenitor, what a joke!�� Chi Hu said with a cold laugh.


    ��An ant trying to shake a big tree, overestimating their own ability! Does Ye Yuan think that it��s very brave for him to die? From now on, who will still remember Ye Yuan? Only my blood race will rule the myriad worlds!�� Yi Xue said with a heroic spirit.


    Progenitor Bloodstone did not even need to move his fingers to kill people.


    The corners of his mouth just smiled evilly and charmingly. The aura of the Great Dao of Blood directly rolled toward Ye Yuan.


    The Great Dao of Blood was invisible and intangible. It could not be blocked at all!


    Just one thought, and it could blow Ye Yuan up.


    Bang!


    With a muffled groan, a figure flew out!


    ��This �� What��s going on? There��s actually someone who can hurt Progenitor in this world?��


    ��What kind of hex did Ye Yuan use? Why is he completely fine? This is impossible!��


    ��It��s merely a thought for Progenitor to kill someone! What on earth happened? Could it be that Ye Yuan is even stronger than Progenitor?��


    �� . .


    All of the bloodkins fell into immense shock!


    Because this muffled groan was not emitted by Ye Yuan, but it was by Progenitor Bloodstone!


    Progenitor Bloodstone seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, directly being sent flying out by the backlash force.


    And from start to finish, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle!


    The figures of Yang Qing and the rest directly stopped in midair, looking at this scene with blank faces.


    This was also too freaking supernatural!


    This scene truly made people feel incredulous.


    The invincible Progenitor Bloodstone was actually sent flying!


    The key point was that they did not even know what had happened.


    Only the unknown could make people afraid.


    An invincible existence was actually defeated by an Emperor Sakra Heaven. How could this not shock people?


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Seems like you aren��t qualified to kill me yet!��


    The moment these words came out, everyone was even more confused.


    And at this time, Progenitor Bloodstone barely managed to stabilize his figure, his expression extremely ugly as he said, ��It turns out that you felt it long ago!��


    Ye Yuan smiled and said, ��Regarding my tribulation, I naturally understand it best! You call yourself the envoy of Heavenly Dao. Didn��t Heavenly Dao tell you this? Wanting to kill me, it also needs Heavenly Dao to take action itself. Who the hell do you think you are?��


    Everyone was dumbstruck with shock!


    Progenitor Bloodstone was actually injured by Heavenly Dao!


    With this, everything was clear.


    It turned out that Ye Yuan was envied by Heavenly Dao. Currently, his tribulation was near at hand. Heavenly Dao absolutely did not allow anyone to intervene!


    At this time, with Progenitor Bloodstone making a move against Ye Yuan, he was looking for a rebuff.


    Ye Yuan��s life was Heavenly Dao��s!


    All of a sudden, chaos rolled, and dark clouds gathered overhead, making people somewhat unable to catch their breath.


    Everyone felt that the sky seemed to be brewing an extremely terrifying storm.


    Ye Yuan��s clothes fluttered.


    Clearly, he was the center of the storm!


    Everyone backed away unconsciously, afraid of being swept in.


    It was because this pressure was truly too terrifying!


    These people in front were seemingly able to feel the wrath of Heavenly Dao!


    The 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse was finally here!


    Progenitor Bloodstone looked at Ye Yuan and said hatefully, ��Fine! Then this Dao will watch with my own eyes how you die under Heavenly Dao!��


    Ye Yuan grinned and said, ��Others can��t overcome it, but it doesn��t mean that I can��t overcome it! I, Ye Yuan, have never resigned myself to fate when cultivating from a mortal until now! So what if I am a divergent cultivator? So what �� if it is an apocalyptic tribulation? If Heaven wants to exterminate me, I��ll kill this Heaven!��


    Boom!


    Amidst the chaos, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out.


    It was as if Heaven was feeling furious at Ye Yuan��s words!


    Everyone looked at Ye Yuan with immense shock.


    This guy was really too arrogant!


    Killing Heaven!


    This sort of words, even if one reached Progenitor Bloodstone��s level of realm, one would also not dare to say it!


    ��Scatter! Quickly scatter! This apocalyptic tribulation is too terrifying, don��t get swept inside!�� Someone clamored in the blood race.


    Everyone retreated one after another. The pressure of this apocalyptic tribulation was getting more and more terrifying. They felt that they had not retreated far away enough yet!


    ��Heh, killing Heaven! Really overestimating your own ability! This Dao controls a Dao and is already invincible in the world. Want to kill Heaven? It��s simply a fool��s talk! He probably still doesn��t know what Heaven��s might is like! But it doesn��t matter. Very soon, he��ll understand how ignorant he is!�� Progenitor Bloodstone said with a cold laugh.


    The more one reached his level of realm, the more they understood the unfathomable nature of Heavenly Dao.


    No one knew what Heavenly Dao was.


    But all the heavens and myriad worlds were operating under the rule of Heavenly Dao.


    This was indisputable!


    What right did Ye Yuan, a mere ant, have to fight for fate with Heaven?


    At this time, there was only Ye Yuan alone left in the massive chaos space.


    The others all retreated far away, not daring to come over.


    Ye Yuan alone was standing before Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall, his clothes fluttering, akin to a lonely hero.


    Yang Qing��s expression changed, and he said, ��This guy, he wants to protect Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven with the apocalyptic tribulation!��

 Chapter 3114 - Dao Driving Origins!

    Terrifying pressure completely separated Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven and the blood race.


    The area of the apocalyptic tribulation was extremely vast. It formed a natural protective barrier between the two.


    Very clearly, Ye Yuan was afraid that when he was overcoming the tribulation, Progenitor Bloodstone would deal a killing blow to Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven.


    The present Progenitor Bloodstone, apart from the apocalypse, he swept away the current era!


    But this way, he had no route of retreat too!


    Once he could not withstand the apocalyptic tribulation, the world behind him would be completely destroyed!


    Apocalyptic tribulation was not said for fun.


    This was cutting off all means of retreat: either win or die trying!


    ��Grand Brightjade will live or die with me! Are you all willing!�� Ye Yuan shouted loudly without even turning his head back.


    ��We��re willing!��


    Virtually without thinking, everyone answered.


    This was their only chance to live!


    When Progenitor Bloodstone saw this scene, his expression turned dark.


    Just now, he did indeed plan on slaughtering the people of a world while Ye Yuan was transcending the tribulation, interrupting Ye Yuan��s transcending of the tribulation.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan was so ruthless, directly tying the people of this world together with him.


    But that was fine. The difficulty of Ye Yuan��s tribulation would be greater!


    Crack! Crack!


    A few more claps of thunder sounded out, Heavenly Dao seemed to be expressing its dissatisfaction towards him.


    Ye Yuan��s actions and conduct was simply looking down on Heavenly Dao!


    Amidst the chaos, dark clouds rolled. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. It was as if it was the end of the world.


    ��Noisy!��


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly and suddenly slammed a punch out!


    This punch was akin to flood dragons heading out to the sea. The power of the Four Symbols surged forward, rushing straight up to the clouds.


    Yi Xue��s pupils constricted slightly, revealing shock.


    The power of this punch was already infinitely close to Great Beyond Realm!


    Even if it was a Supreme Hegemon, they would also be one-shotted under this punch.


    Compared to the Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven battle back then, the current Ye Yuan was no idea how many times stronger than before!


    It was as if Heaven sensed Ye Yuan��s impudence. Countless electric snakes suddenly descended from the tribulation cloud.


    That was the fury of Heavenly Dao!


    The strength of these electric snakes could absolutely one-shot Supreme Hegemons!


    The two formidable forces collided in an instant.


    Boom!


    Countless electric snakes were instantly annihilated!


    This was not considered over yet. Ye Yuan��s fist force still had plenty left in the tank, rushing straight for the clouds.


    Boom!


    The tribulation cloud collapsed with a loud bang!


    Before the first apocalyptic tribulation had formed, it was actually dispersed by Ye Yuan with one punch!


    It was deathly silent all around. Everyone was shocked by Ye Yuan��s fearsomeness.


    Before this, the apocalyptic tribulation was boasted to the max.


    Everyone felt that the apocalyptic tribulation was powerful to the extreme.


    But who knew that it actually could not block a punch from Ye Yuan?


    ��This �� This is also too strong, right? Isn��t it said that the apocalyptic tribulation is very impressive?��


    ��I feel like Ye Yuan didn��t use his full strength at all. This apocalyptic tribulation doesn��t seem as impressive as in the rumors!��


    ��I feel the same too! I say, you guys, Ye Yuan wouldn��t really succeed in overcoming the tribulation, right?��


    �� . .


    The blood race powerhouses could not help doubting the power of the apocalyptic tribulation.


    Not that the apocalyptic tribulation was not strong, but that Ye Yuan was too casual, giving them a great shock.


    Yi Xue gave a cold snort and said, ��What the hell do you know! Although I am reluctant to admit it, Ye Yuan is indeed the number one divergent cultivator since ancient times! Before closed-seclusion, his strength was already stronger than the Mo Fan back then! This first wave of tribulation naturally can��t pose a threat to him. However, in the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse, each wave is more terrifying than the last! Very soon, you all will know the terror of this apocalyptic tribulation! Furthermore, this first wave of apocalyptic tribulation just now, the power already reached the level of Great Beyond! Can you all block it if you give it a try?��


    Everyone stopped talking.


    Indeed, this was just the first wave of apocalyptic tribulation, and the power already reached Great Beyond level.


    Going further, the power would probably be beyond imagination.


    With Ye Yuan��s strength, he could at least overcome seven waves of apocalyptic tribulation too.


    This first wave was naturally somewhat inadequate. Very soon, the tribulation clouds that were scattered condensed anew.


    That terrifying to the extreme pressure descended upon everyone��s hearts again.


    But this time, the pressure was stronger!


    ��What a strong pressure! I almost can��t breathe anymore!��


    ��You all, look above that tribulation. There��s another layer of tribulation clouds condensing! This �� is a double-layered tribulation cloud!��


    ��What terrifying power of origin! I feel like the power of that origin is already almost seeping out!��


    �� . .


    The powerhouses in the world were dealing with the tribulation together with Ye Yuan.


    They could distinctly feel Ye Yuan��s pressure.


    That kind of horrifying pressure was at least ten times stronger than the one before!


    When Long Jian saw that double-layered tribulation cloud, his expression was solemn as he said, ��Xuan Taiqing, can you block this tribulation?��


    Xuan Taiqing was a member of the Black Tortoise clan. His defense was extremely shocking.


    But at this time, he shook his head and said, ��Can��t block!��


    Long Jian��s expression became even more serious, and he said, ��This is just the second wave of tribulation, and it already has such power. Those at the back �� are simply unimaginable!��


    Xuan Taiqing nodded and said, ��The strength division of Great Beyond Realm is very vague. If we divide our realm until Senior Mi Tian��s realm into nine stages, then the power of this second wave of apocalyptic tribulation has likely already reached the third stage! Even if you and I barely manage to block it, it will definitely be the outcome of severe injuries too!��


    Swoosh!


    While talking, Ye Yuan leaped up and charged to the sky.


    Amidst the double-layered tribulation clouds, countless lightning fell down once again.


    It was just that the bolts of lightning this time were two bolts intertwined together, falling down with a loud bang.


    Compared to before, the power was simply poles apart.


    Ye Yuan��s both hands went up. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, four symbols divine beasts shot to the sky.


    These four great divine beasts each occupied east, west, south, and north, one direction, the bloodline power in their bodies erupting. Endless saint force poured out, forming a massive barrier.


    That scene was spectacular to the extreme.


    When Progenitor Bloodstone saw this scene, his pupils constricted.


    He did not expect that Ye Yuan��s origin of blood was actually so strong!


    As the Heavenly Dao envoy who controlled the Great Dao of Blood, he was all too clear about the power of bloodlines.


    Ye Yuan��s origin of blood was already infinitesimally close to Great Dao!


    Furthermore, the path that Ye Yuan took was completely different from his.


    His Dao revolved around slaughter, the brutal air being extremely strong.


    But Ye Yuan��s origin of blood had a striking righteous air, being upright and just!


    Progenitor Bloodstone obtained the four symbols bloodlines too. This also had a huge effect on him controlling the Great Dao of Blood.


    But he could not harness the power of the four symbols at all.


    However, Ye Yuan could!


    The barrier formed by the power of the four symbols was extremely sturdy.


    No matter how powerful those bolts of lightning were, it stood firm as a rock!


    Long Jian and the others exchanged glances, seeing the shock in the other party��s eyes.


    ��I really didn��t expect that our four symbols bloodlines actually have such terrifying power when fused together!�� Long Jian drew a deep breath and said.


    Luan Qinghe said, ��Ye Yuan��s bloodline power has already surpassed all of us! Only he can unleash the power of the four symbols bloodlines to the extreme! With this barrier, even if the apocalyptic tribulation is a hundred times stronger, he can block it too!��


    Mi Tian nodded and said, ��Although Ye Yuan��s cultivation realm isn��t high, his understanding of Dao has already reached an extremely profound level. He��s driving the power of origin with his own Dao sword! The Dao sword is his foundation! Cultivation realm is no longer important!��

 Chapter 3115 - Lightning Ball!

    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    �� . .


    Muffled loud bangs sounded out very rhythmically.


    The tempo was not fast, but each hit seemed to strike people on the chest, smashing them until they could not catch their breath.


    More than a month had passed. This was already the ninth wave of apocalyptic tribulation!


    ��Ye Yuan this guy is really strong! Although he��s our blood race��s adversary, this guy is worthy of respect!��


    ��Being the number one divergent cultivator through the ages, this title really wasn��t a boast! This ninth wave of apocalyptic tribulation, just looking at it, I feel goosebumps! He actually forcibly withstood it!��


    ��Only now do I know how impressive it was for that Mo Fan to be able to last until the seventh wave of apocalyptic tribulation!��


    �� . .


    Without the slightest surprise, Ye Yuan broke the seventh wave record that Mo Fan made.


    But at this time, no one dared to look down on the apocalyptic tribulation anymore!


    This name was really not called in vain.


    This Dao tribulation really had the power to destroy the world!


    The important thing was that this was just the ninth wave, and the power was already unbelievably strong.


    Then what about the 20th wave?


    The 30th wave?


    Unimaginable!


    Ye Yuan lasted until the fifth wave of apocalyptic tribulation with the four symbols bloodlines�� power. Finally, he could not hold on anymore.


    He directly flew up and forcibly resisted the apocalyptic tribulation.


    During the sixth wave, he still did not feel much.


    By the seventh wave, Ye Yuan was clearly straining much harder.


    Currently, the ninth wave was already approaching the end, but those bolts of heavenly tribulation were thick as towering trees. It already made Ye Yuan being covered all over with cuts and bruises.


    The ninth level with nine layers of tribulation clouds being superimposed, the power was without equal!


    Each bolt that landed, Ye Yuan would be directly slammed heavily onto the boundary wall.


    But he got to his feet immediately and greeted the next bolt of heavenly tribulation.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven��s boundary wall could not block the blow of the apocalyptic tribulation.


    ��Heh, this kid is finally on his last legs! After he tides over this ninth wave of tribulation, he can��t make it through the tenth wave of tribulation no matter what!�� Yi Xue said rather excitedly.


    But Progenitor Bloodstone shook his head and said, ��You��re underestimating Ye Yuan too much! How can someone who��s qualified to be this Dao��s opponent be killed by a mere tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation?��


    Yi Xue said in surprise, ��This �� is impossible, right? The power of this ninth wave of tribulation is extremely terrifying. This subordinate touches my own heart and feels that I absolutely can��t block it! This tenth wave, the power will definitely be even greater. How can he possibly block it?��


    Progenitor Bloodstone did not explain. He just said coolly, ��You watch, this boy definitely still has other means!��


    Before long, the ninth wave of apocalyptic tribulation finally came to an end.


    But everyone in the world started to become even more weighed down with worry.


    Mi Tian personally admitted that this ninth wave of tribulation, he could not pull through it no matter what!


    This was also to say that, in the entire 33 Heavens, there were only those three outside that could pull through this ninth wave of tribulation!


    Then for the tenth wave of tribulation, what kind of terrifying level would the power reach?


    Looking at Ye Yuan again, he was currently charred black all over, green smoke emitting from his body, his aura being chaotic. Clearly, he had suffered considerable injuries.


    Everyone could tell that he seemed to have reached his limits already.


    Very soon, tribulation clouds rolled. Another tribulation cloud condensed and formed above the nine-layered tribulation cloud!


    The moment this tenth wave of tribulation cloud appeared, it made everyone��s heart sink.


    ��What a terrifying pressure! I feel that this tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation will likely have a huge leap in power! Can Ye Yuan �� block it?�� Zhuo Bufan said with a worried look.


    Mi Tian��s expression was extremely somber too, and he said in a solemn voice, ��No one has seen the tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation before! But looking at it now, ninth wave to tenth wave is a huge hurdle! Ye Yuan he ����


    Mi Tian did not carry on. Clearly, he was not optimistic about Ye Yuan either.


    The tenth wave of tribulation cloud grew thicker and thicker. By the time it finally formed, it was virtually the sum of the previous nine waves of apocalyptic tribulations!


    Before the Dao tribulation fell, the people already felt the sense of oppression that swept through like the turbulent wind that preceded the storm in the mountains.


    ��Progenitor, the power of this tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation seems to be a little stronger than I imagined!�� Yi Xue said.


    A hint of shock also flashed across in Progenitor Bloodstone��s eyes.


    The power of this tenth wave somewhat exceeded his imagination.


    Heaven��s might was immeasurable. Progenitor Bloodstone had also never seen before the complete 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse.


    The tenth wave was unbelievably strong!


    He understood what Yi Xue meant. He did not think that Ye Yuan could pull through this tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation.


    ��Just watch. The power of this tenth wave of tribulation does indeed exceed imagination. But Ye Yuan definitely still has cards up his sleeves. As for whether or not he can pull through, it will depend on how strong his cards are.��


    Progenitor Bloodstone took back his words previously. He was also pessimistic about Ye Yuan now.


    Suddenly, clusters of white fluffy things floated out of the clouds, akin to dandelions, being incredibly beautiful.


    ��Mn? What��s that? Could that be �� the tenth wave of apocalyptic tribulation?��


    ��I have never seen such a Dao tribulation. One cluster after another, it��s like balls.��


    ��Lightning balls? They look very pretty, but I feel they are�� very dangerous!��


    �� . .


    After those lightning balls floated out, they moved along with the wind, flying everywhere.


    Suddenly, a lightning ball floated over toward a blood race Great Beyond powerhouse. Its speed was swift until everyone did not react in time.


    In the next second, everyone was petrified.


    That blood race Great Beyond powerhouse seemed to be weathered down, directly disappearing!


    A Great Beyond powerhouse, that was an overlord-like existence.


    Wanting to kill a Great Beyond powerhouse was far too difficult.


    Even if it was a powerhouse like Mi Tian, it was easy to defeat the average Great Beyond powerhouse. But killing was too difficult.


    Therefore, fighting in this war until now, extremely few Great Beyond powerhouses had fallen.


    But at this moment, that blood race Great Beyond powerhouse actually did not even manage to escape.


    It could be seen how strong these lightning balls were!


    Progenitor Bloodstone��s brows furrowed, and he said, ��Everyone, retreat another hundred miles!��


    Actually, there was no need for him to order them. Everyone already retreated in alarm and fear, hiding far away.


    Those lightning balls were erratic, flying everywhere.


    Although the vast majority flew towards Ye Yuan, there were also the ones that occasionally drifted out.


    Very soon, the lightning balls got increasingly more, virtually filling the entire space.


    Ye Yuan��s face also revealed a hint of solemness.


    That scene of the blood race Great Beyond powerhouse being killed just now, he saw it too.


    These lightning balls could not be touched!


    He drew a deep breath and said loudly, ��Brothers, borrow your sword spirits to use!��


    It was only to see Ye Yuan stretch his hand out and beckon. Countless light dots lit up within the world, flying toward him.


    A light sword gradually condensed and formed in Ye Yuan��s hand.


    Swords had sword spirits.


    It was the soul of the sword.


    The people of a world, how many billions used the sword?


    Countless souls of the sword condensed into this sword in Ye Yuan��s hand!


    Zhuo Bufan noticed that the sword in his hand actually did not obey orders, the sword spirit directly flying out. He could not help feeling shocked.


    He said in shock, ��So, this is the ultimate profound intent of the sword of protection! My sword can feel his sincerity too. Hence, that��s why it would willingly obey his call! Compared to Sword Dao, I��m much worse than him!��


    Ye Yuan��s sword of protection only appeared for the people that should be protected.


    Unless it reached the final juncture, he would not use the final sword.


    But now, he unleashed it!


    And this move that Ye Yuan unleashed, even a Sword Dao overlord like Zhuo Bufan could not control his own sword.


    The terror of this move could be seen!


    Ye Yuan lifted the sword of protection, leaping up into the sky, flying toward the countless lightning balls.

 Chapter 3119 (END) - God of Creation! (Finale)

    Ye Yuan destroyed the Door of Eternal Life with one sword?


    They felt that their brains seemed to be somewhat short-circuiting.


    ��W-What in the world happened? The Door of Eternal Life is gone. Then what �� what the hell are we? Also, what �� what on earth �� is he?�� Bloodstone looked at Ye Yuan with a blank face, muttering to himself.


    With the Door of Eternal Life disappearing, the panic in their hearts was spreading rapidly.


    It was because this world and the past world that they knew seemed to have become different.


    Also, Ye Yuan this freak, just what kind of existence was he now?


    Ye Yuan��s brows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, the Door of Eternal Life appeared behind him.


    And his Door of Eternal Life actually flew straight into his body.


    Ye Yuan discovered that there seemed to be an additional thing in his dantian area.


    ��Is this �� a world?�� Ye Yuan was rather surprised.


    Back when, when he became a divergent cultivator, world power turned into the Dao sword.


    Since then, he no longer had an inner-world.


    But now, the Door of Eternal Life actually turned into a world and fused into his body?


    More accurately speaking, this was not a world but a world seed!


    However, Ye Yuan could feel that this world seed was very powerful.


    It was even �� not weaker than the 33 Heavens!


    And right at this time, the Dao sword in his hand actually turned into a crystal!


    The crystal directly submerged into his body.


    Ye Yuan��s both eyes suddenly snapped open. His body actually underwent a complete transformation!


    Every muscle in his body seemed to have been reborn!


    Feeling his new physical body, when Ye Yuan looked over toward Bloodstone again, it was like he was looking at an ant.


    He currently only needed a thought, and he would be able to kill the other party easily!


    ��I��m ����


    Ye Yuan had a confused look. He transcended the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse just to be able to have a battle with Bloodstone.


    But now that he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he discovered that the other party was not worth mentioning at all.


    This was seriously too surprising.


    Everyone naturally felt Ye Yuan��s transformation too.


    Bloodstone looked at Ye Yuan, his body was clearly still the size of a human, but he felt like it was as big and tall as a giant.


    This kind of extreme contrast made him extremely terrified in his heart.


    Right then, the void shook.


    Amidst the darkness behind the Door of Eternal Life, three figures actually walked out.


    These three people were dressed in taoist robes, long hair fluttering, with a sage-like appearance.


    The aura leaking out of the three of them gave people a vague and ephemeral feeling.


    It was as if �� immortals descending to the mortal world!


    When Bloodstone saw these three people, he seemed to have grasped the final life-saving straw. Kneeling down with a thud, he howled, ��Heavenly Dao Envoy Bloodstone, pays respect to three Exalted Immortals! Reporting to three Exalted Immortals, this boy transcended the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse, and he attempted to overthrow Heavenly Dao to make himself king! Exalted Immortals, please take action and punish this villain!��


    Although he did not know who these three old taoists were, without a doubt, these three people were ridiculously strong!


    If someone could still deal with Ye Yuan in this world, it would be none other than the three of them!


    The three people ignored him, arriving straight in front of Ye Yuan.


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly, becoming attentive and going on alert.


    ��Genesis( Spirit Treasure, Virtue) pays respect to Martial Uncle!��


    Outside of everyone��s expectations, these three taoists actually clasped their hands and bowed toward Ye Yuan, their attitudes extremely humble.


    Bloodstone��s entire body shuddered, plopping his bottom down, his entire person like he had lost his soul.


    The three exalted immortals that came from the outside world actually called Ye Yuan out as their martial uncle!


    This �� ��


    Mi Tian and the others exchanged glances, their eyes full of shock.


    Ye Yuan was very surprised too. He even thought that these three people came to find trouble. He did not expect that they directly bowed down.


    ��Martial uncle?�� Ye Yuan frowned and said.


    Genesis bowed and said, ��Yes, the three of us apprentice brothers administer Heavenly Dao samsara on behalf of Master! Martial Uncle has experienced the baptism of the 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse and attained Great Dao, becoming a God of Creation, standing as an equal with Master! We naturally have to call using the title martial uncle!��


    God of Creation!


    Each word that Genesis said, it shocked until everyone stared wide-eyed with their mouths agape.


    Only then did they know that these three people were actually Heavenly Dao��s controllers!


    And there was actually still a God of Creation above them!


    Bloodstone broke down!


    W-What kind of existence did I offend?


    When Ye Yuan heard this, he was extremely surprised too.


    However, it was related to the changes in his body. He knew that these three people were not lying.


    ��Then �� what about your master?�� Ye Yuan asked curiously.


    ��Hahaha �� Junior Brother, I��ve waited a thousand great cosmic eras for you. You finally appeared! This Dao �� is not alone!�� Before his voice faded, a figure already stepped out of the black hole.


    This was a young taoist looking similar to Ye Yuan in age.


    But what was a great cosmic era?


    The moment this person came out, he grabbed Ye Yuan��s hand and was very warm.


    Ye Yuan looked at the arrival and actually had a feeling of meeting someone with the same pursuit.


    Fusing with the Dao sword, his body already underwent upheaval changes and was already completely different from these people.


    He had already transcended life!


    Even if it was Genesis three people, they did not give Ye Yuan this kind of feeling too.


    Only this young taoist in front of him gave him the same feeling.


    ��Paying respects to Senior Brother!��


    Although full of uncertainty in his heart, he still answered.


    The young taoist looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, ��I��m called Hong Jun, born at the beginning of heaven and earth! The 33 Heavens world is the world that I created! You came from insignificant importance, but now, you��ve already entered the ranks of God of Creation! From now on, we��ll address each other as apprentice brothers! I created the 33 Heavens world, and set up the Tribulation of World Creation, in hopes that someone can tread out their own Great Dao and become a God of Creation! A great cosmic era is a hundred billion years! I��ve already waited for a hundred trillion years, but no one could attain godhood! Today, I finally waited it out!��


    Clearly, Ye Yuan��s appearance made Hong Jun very happy.


    A thousand great cosmic eras, there was only him, one God of Creation, in this world.


    As the saying went, too high to be touched; he was too lonely!


    Now, Ye Yuan attained godhood. He finally had a kindred spirit.


    When Ye Yuan heard, he could not help having a sudden realization in his heart.


    It turned out that this 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse was actually to let people attain godhood!


    Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, ��Doesn��t that mean that if you want to attain godhood, you must become a divergent cultivator?��


    Hong Jun nodded and said, ��That��s right! The Heavenly Dao that I established is merely a form of order! Without even daring to break Heavenly Dao��s order, how do you even talk about becoming a God of Creation? God of Creation is the creator of order to begin with! Without the courage to break apart the bird cage, it��s forever impossible to become a God of Creation! However, just having courage isn��t enough. One also needs to have sufficient strength! The 33 Tribulations of Apocalypse is another bird cage that I set up! Only by breaking this bird cage will one be qualified to call me brother! Over these 1000 great cosmic eras, countless geniuses have lived and perished. Someone had once made it to the 30th tribulation before but ultimately still failed!��


    Ye Yuan was rendered dumbfounded from listening. Turns out that everything was actually all just a test!


    And the others were similarly incredibly shocked!


    No one thought that divergent cultivation was the only way to attain Great Dao!


    Those that obeyed heaven would flourish, and those who defied heaven would die. This was merely a joke for the weak to console themselves with.


    ��It��s actually like this! It��s actually like this! Defying heaven is the true Great Dao of Eternal Life!�� Under the void, Yang Qing revealed a look of sudden enlightenment.


    Suddenly, his body erupted with a powerful aura.


    All of his strength actually started dissipating crazily.


    Ye Yuan looked at Yang Qing, and his brows could not help furrowing slightly.


    Hong Jun smiled and said, ��This child has great courage!��


    But Ye Yuan was a little worried. The path of a divergent cultivator was not so easy to walk!


    A thousand great cosmic eras, a hundred trillion years, but only he, one Ye Yuan, appeared!


    The path of a divergent cultivator was full of thorns and bumps.


    A single misstep and it would be the outcome of one��s divine soul being destroyed.


    Of the countless powerhouses present, were they not moved?


    But nobody dared!


    A thousand great cosmic eras only produced a single Ye Yuan, this kind of ratio made people daunted at the sight of it!


    Very soon, all of Yang Qing��s powers completely dissipated, and he actually became a lower Lesser Sublime Heaven!


    Everything was back to square one!


    ��Ye Yuan, I, Yang Qing, will be your lifelong rival! If you can become a God of Creation, I can too!�� Yang Qing pointed at the sky with his spear as he yelled.


    Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and said loudly, ��Okay, I��ll wait for you! When you achieve status as a Creation God, you and I will fight again!��


    ��Hahaha ����


    Amidst the loud laughter, Yang Qing carried a long spear and disappeared into the horizon.


    After Yang Qing left, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, ��Senior Brother, Ye Yuan has a request!��


    Hong Jun waved his hand and tapped at the void with a smile.


    A beautiful figure walked straight out of the void.


    Seeing the arrival, Yue Mengli was overjoyed and ran straight toward her.


    2


    ��Elder Sister Lingxue! You �� You��re finally back!�� Two rows of clear tears had already fallen.


    Ye Yuan was also extremely agitated in his heart when he saw Mu Lingxue.


    His hardships along the way were actually all for Mu Lingxue!


    Hong Jun smiled and said, ��When you turned your divine sense into myriad, I knew that you��d be able to corroborate your Dao and become a God of Creation! So, once the war of the blood race started, I protected Sister-in-Law. In addition, her incomplete divine soul is already fully recovered too! Take it as a big gift from your brother.��


    Ye Yuan looked at Hong Jun and cupped his fists as he said excitedly, ��Many thanks, Senior Brother!��


    The world that Hong Jun created, he would not interfere with the operation of this world.


    If not for Ye Yuan, he would not have made a move to protect Mu Lingxue.


    Ye Yuan looked at Mu Lingxue and was actually speechless at this time.


    Mu Lingxue was still ice-cold. When she saw Ye Yuan, she did not seem too agitated.


    ��L-Lingxue.�� No idea why, but when he faced Mu Lingxue, he was actually somewhat flustered.


    Suddenly, Mu Lingxue smiled sweetly. The whole world seemed to have melted.


    ��Congratulations, Ye Yuan!��


    Ye Yuan frowned slightly, a bad feeling welling up in his heart. He hurriedly said, ��Lingxue, I��m sorry! I ����


    Mu Lingxue smiled and said, ��You didn��t let me down. Li-er, Big Sister prays that you guys last a lifetime and never leave or abandon each other!��


    When Yue Mengli heard that, her expression changed drastically, and she said, ��Elder Sister Lingxue, you �� you��re mistaken! I��m sorry ����


    Mu Lingxue stroked Yue Mengli��s face and said with a smile, ��Silly girl, I��ve seen everything that you did for Ye Yuan. You didn��t let anyone down. You guys didn��t let anyone down. The person I know is that Ji Qingyun who was unparalleled among his contemporaries, not Ye Yuan! He��s yours. He has nothing to do with me!��


    1


    Finished saying those words, without waiting for Yue Mengli to refute, she saluted Hong Jun with folded hands at the lower right side and said, ��This lowly girl��s wish is already fulfilled here. Mister Hong Jun, please send me into samsara, and for me to be reincarnated!��


    Ye Yuan��s pupils constricted, and he said in alarm and anger, ��No way!��


    Mu Lingxue turned around and stared right at Ye Yuan.


    Although the current Ye Yuan was already revered as a God of Creation, facing Mu Lingxue, he was actually scared.


    ��You �� Why is there a need for this?�� The alarm and anger turned into a bitter smile.


    Mu Lingxue said coolly, ��You should know, even if you��re a God of Creation, there are also things that you can��t control!��


    By the side, Hong Jun sighed lightly and said, ��Pray ask what is love, guiding people till death do them apart! What you said is right. Even if it��s a God of Creation, there are also things that you can��t control! Sigh, silly child, have you thought carefully?��


    Mu Lingxue nodded and said, ��I��ve thought it through!��


    Hong Jun nodded and said, ��Forget it. Since you��re insistent on doing so, then �� I��ll send you off!��


    Finished saying, a whirlpool appeared above the void.


    Ye Yuan could feel that Life and Death Samsara Great Dao leaking out of that whirlpool.


    Clearly, that was the Door of Reincarnation!


    Mu Lingxue bowed slightly and said, ��Thank you, Mister Hong Jun!��


    Finished saying, she leaped and flew into the whirlpool.


    Yue Mengli burned with anxiety and said, ��Big Brother Yuan, why didn��t you stop her?��


    Ye Yuan sighed lightly and said, ��Can��t be stopped!��


    ��Then �� Then what should we do?��


    Ye Yuan suddenly beamed and said, ��I entered samsara. She has entered samsara too. With this �� we��re considered even, right? Li-er, after we��re wedded, we��ll go find her!��


    �� . .


    Everything subsided. Progenitor Bloodstone three people prostrated before Ye Yuan, trembling heavily.


    ��T-This old man had eyes but couldn��t see, offending God of Creation! G-God of Creation, please spare my life!�� Bloodstone said quiveringly.


    Ye Yuan looked at him. His gaze did not have a trace of mercy as he said coolly, ��The wages of sin is death! I��ve told you, Heavenly Dao won��t let you off! Do you think that by controlling a Dao, you can transcend everything?��


    ��I �� I �� This lowly one will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future and be your most loyal dog!�� Bloodstone said in a panic.


    He had plotted for several hundred years and finally controlled a Dao.


    He did not want to die!


    But Ye Yuan clearly did not have the intention of letting him off. Only to see him lightly wave his hand, Progenitor Bloodstone turned to ashes without even letting out a miserable cry.


    Heavenless and Samsara knelt there, sweat already drenching their clothes, not daring to even breathe loudly.


    Ye Yuan looked at the two and said, ��From now on, the two of you are confined for a great cosmic era. You��re not to take half a step out! Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!��


    When the two heard that, it was akin to being granted amnesty, hurriedly kowtowing and giving thanks.


    Everything settled down. Ancestor Hong Jun cast a spell. The 33 Heavens returned to its initial-most order again.


    Grand Brightjade Complete Heaven became the strongest heaven out of all the heavens with a leap!


    ��Junior Apprentice Brother, although you��ve already corroborated your Dao to become a Creation God, you��re still completely clueless about how to create a world. You and I shall return to Great Luo Heaven. I��ll impart to you the method to create a world! As for your loved ones and friends, they can immigrate into your world after you finish creating the world!�� Hong Jun said.


    Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, ��Then I��ll have to trouble Senior Brother. However, before this, I want to make a trip back to Immortal Grove World first, to go and see my parents.��


    Hong Jun nodded and said, ��As it ought to be/ I��ll wait for you in Great Luo Heaven!��


    Finished saying, Hong Jun took a step and entered the Door of Eternal Life.


    Great Luo Heaven was behind the Door of Eternal Life.


    In that world, only one person could live. That person was Hong Jun!


    Ye Yuan still had many things to do here.


    Such as reviving his own father, Ji Zhengyang.


    The present Ji Zhengyang had already been reincarnated.


    However, with Ye Yuan��s ability, finding him and letting him recover his memories was naturally not a difficult thing.


    And the Immortal Grove World, the Ye Family had already propagated into a massive family.


    But back then, Ye Yuan sealed the Immortal Grove World, not letting people of this world ascend.


    In the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan saw his younger sister and also saw the Ye Family��s juniors.


    However, he did not divulge his identity.


    Everything would wait until after he finished creating the world.


    �� . .


    In the Immortal Grove World, Ye Yuan told his real identity to Ye Hang husband and wife.


    Back then, he did not dare to tell his parents out of fear that it would deal them a blow.


    But now, it was different.


    He helped Ye Hang husband and wife find Ye Yuan, who had already reincarnated, and let him recover his memories.


    And thus, the Ye Family was reunited.


    After finding Ji Zhengyang, Ye Yuan was also reunited with his parents.


    Just like that, Ye Yuan spent a rare comfortable hundred years in the Immortal Grove World.


    A hundred years later, Ye Yuan brought Yue Mengli and set off on the journey to find Mu Lingxue ��
